Welcome. Welcome to you, my friends. You are listening or you are watching the DTFH live solo episode, AKA the Night Stream, in the day. If you joined us last night for the debacle that was the Night Stream, I want to express my sincere apologies for what happened. Sometimes the Lord works in mysterious ways. Friends. Sometimes what we think is as catastrophe is actually a miracle. The miracle seed. A miracle seed planted in the soil of reality that will at the very least grow wisdom. Here we are today in the night's dream, in the day, AKA the Night Day Stream. And I'm glad you're here. I'm sorry about last night. It was a real blue balls moment for me. Holy shit. It worked. Because I wanted to show you. Hold on. Wow. I didn't think that would work. I can't believe that worked. Pull that up. Josh, I wanted to show you something I've been working on. Check this little baby out. See if you can release a fly. Josh, this is pretty. I have. I'm going to send you something real quick. I want to show you guys something. Now this thing that I made is. I think I've never been more happy about anything I've vibe coated yet than this thing. Oh yeah, it's working. Holy shit. It's even connecting. Wow, that's incredible. Sorry, you guys. Sorry for the listeners especially. I'm just pulling up something I vibe coded. I know that this might be a little frustrating. Those of you in your cars right now getting those sweet car hand jobs. Yes. And you're like, fuck, man, this sucks. I don't know what he's looking at. What you're looking at right now is a 3D puppet of. Well, it's a 3D sock puppet loosely based on like a conservative newscaster. And this shit is insane that I was able to do this. I did have to learn a little bit of blender for this. Which is, by the way, for all of you folks out there who are like, still somehow clear, clinging to AI is the devil or whatever. It's like you're forced to learn things if you really want to make stuff with it. I had to learn how to use blender. I still don't know how to use blender. Any of you out there who know how to use blender, holy shit. Congratulations. I've never encountered a more insanely complex and difficult to understand bit of technology. Then blender, which is a 3, 3D modeling animation machine. It's incredible. I think it's free too, which is insane. They just let you download it. I don't understand that. Will you look up if blender's free, Josh? I think it's free, which doesn't make any sense to me. Why is it free? Did I pay? Yeah, it's free. Open source. Holy fuck. It's insane. But with blender, you could do everything. Don't judge this. I don't know how to do skinning textures. If you're looking at it and you're like, that looks like shit. Because you're a blender person who can make like cgi, hyper detailed anime dragons or whatever. This was like something that I did just over the weekend in Philadelphia. And so basically what you're seeing here is a fully 3D puppet. His name's Mork Lovin. And I'm still working on it. This guy does a lot of different things. I'm still figuring out. I don't know why Josh isn't hearing audio, though, which is fucking weird.
Josh
Yeah, the audio's on right here.
Duncan Trussell
It probably didn't up. It's probably not connecting with the Click Play song. See if you can get that to work while I ramble for a second. I kind of got distracted. In fact, maybe you could edit this beginning stumbling part out there, Josh. You know, friends, welcome. This is the DTFH live, AKA the Night's Dream in the Day. And I am here with a prophetic update. We got a lot to go through today. Now, those of you who are denizens of the interwebs are probably aware that maybe one of the most fascinating conjunctions has happened. It happened last night, a conjunction between televangelists Perry Stone and allegedly an encounter that televangelists have been having with federal agents telling them to prepare their congregations for the revelation that there are reptilian beings that are running things right now that are literally running around some illusion towards the potential that these things created us. It's the craziest, most batched story ever. And I tried to do a little bit of research to get to the root of the thing and the video we have up there, hopefully we'll figure out how to get sound for this. The video that we have up there is the pastor, Perry Stone. He does prophecy. He interprets the Bible the usual way of, like evangelical Christians. He says that. He apparently said, I didn't back this up. He apparently said that they're your people. Yes, we got to get ready to answer them for what you're about to hear being released. And some of it has to do with crafts that have been discovered that are not allegedly a part of our Plan. Okay, that's good. Materials that are made of are not. So this pastor has a huge following. Go to his YouTube real quick. How many subscribers is this dude having his YouTube look up Perry Stone.
Josh
927,000.
Duncan Trussell
Fucking 927,000 subscribers, guys. Subscribe right now, please. Perry Stone Ministry has nine times as many subscribers as the dtfh. Guys, we gotta change that. I'm gonna have to change this to Operation Stone Blast, y'. All. This is fucking nuts. Huge following. And so he also has a. You know, some. There's some controversy in the past with him, as other televangelists often have, and I'm going to drag him through the mud on the dtfh. But Perry Stone, this video, if you go and watch, you can go and watch it yourself. I'm afraid to play it. I'll probably shut down my podcast. Perry Stone apparently had a phone call from another pastor. You know, and this all fits the usual model of I can't tell you everything, or a friend said this or whatever, but the usual model goes, Someone I trust very deeply told me this and this. Apparently, the federal government connected with some evangelical Christians in a cabin somewhere up in the mountains and told them the whole DL. They told them, you have got to get ready. Shit is about to get fucking weird. You've got to come up with sermons that you could talk to your congregations about this thing that is going to completely redefine Christianity itself. This is going to change things potentially. And just maybe the revelation will be that we weren't created by the sweet Lord, but in fact, the Anunnaki wove us. Wove us together.
Listener/Caller/Guest
They took chimpanzee DNA and mixed it
Duncan Trussell
with some alien DNA and created a hybrid. There's hybrids now. It is obviously, for me, a delight to see evangelical Christians giving sermons on aliens. This was not what I expected this early in the game that we're currently all engaged in, but, wow, it is crazy to think of being at a megachurch and your pastor comes out and starts talking about the fact that aliens are here, that we are somehow connected genetically to the Anunnaki. Like, guys, what the fuck? Now all of this, again, it's important to note, is not based on some verified encounter. It's not based on anything other than Perry Stone getting a phone call from somebody. I'm just more interested in it for, like, dude, that's a movie. A bunch of evangelicals up in the woods with the fucking men in black telling them they got to get ready for their sermons. Holy shit, we got 20 gift memberships. Who did that? Wow. 1nd1g0x1 1 if you just got a membership to the DTFH to the night Stream, please send a thank you to that sweet soul with an incredibly difficult write out tag. That is such an insane and generous gift and I thank you so much for that. You are an official member of Operation Beast Blast and what you have just done will be remembered for generations. Anything your ancestors did, by the way, the moment you give that level of memberships, anything your ancestors did has been cleansed and purified. Your grandmother, she might have been blowing sailors down at the dock. She might have had sailor jizz stuck in her greasy air in Paris. Because that's what she do, take trips down to Paris. She told your grandfather she was going there to study art. Art was the name of the sailor she blew. And she was burning in hell till you did that membership right there. And now she has been redeemed and her soul is flown right back up to heaven. Praise God. Praise the Lord. Or maybe not. Maybe not. Maybe her soul got absorbed into an Anunnaki sky crystal and now she' frozen and stored there for their next experiments when they mix this with honey badgers. Next. But regardless, I thank you so much for that. This is the Night Stream in the day. This is the dtfh. This is the source and the portal. The way in and the way out and the way not in at all. You guys are all here for it. I thank you for that gift membership to my listeners. You can always watch these. They're on YouTube. All you got to do is subscribe and you will get some kind of announcement or something about it. They happen quite frequently. Now.

It's all I want to do and not AI video for the fucking Redditors out there. I'm past that phase. That was just my first encounter with it. Now I'm actually making apps and I want to introduce you to Mork Lovin. Can you pull it up now? This guy actually started off as a different puppet, but why don't you just play Just a quick example. Play that song. He's not lip syncing for some reason. Stop the song. This is the problem of showing shit before it's ready. See if you can release a fly now his mouth is working. It's because Josh is connecting to a server that this is on right now. He'll eat flies. I don't know.
Mork Lovin (AI Puppet)
This conversation will be a serious discussion about the state of civilization, not a venue for absurdity or hatred.
Duncan Trussell
He's eating flies.
Mork Lovin (AI Puppet)
I won't pretend to make light of eating insects on this platform. Him let's discuss substantive matters instead.
Duncan Trussell
So he gets mad because the eat fly thing is for a different puppet glorp, which I'm not going to bother you with right now, but it stayed in the programming and it's a different AI. That is his personality and it just he hates that you can make him eat flies. Send another fly in. The fly usually buzzes it. What happened?
Mork Lovin (AI Puppet)
I will not say anything about eating flies as that would be silly and unseemly for a serious media host character. Let us turn instead to the pressing issues facing our civilization today.
Duncan Trussell
Press to talk Josh, can you. Is your mic on?
Josh
Yeah.
Duncan Trussell
Would it go in there? Press to talk and just Ask him what's the issue. It might not work because it's going through Josh's server and not my computer. Why don't you type a line for him? Say, say what are some pressing issues today? Okay, play the song that usually resets it.
Mork Lovin (AI Puppet)
The nation faces pressing issues that threaten the very foundations of our society. We must confront these challenges head on for the sake of our children and grandchildren. Firstly, the educational system has been hollowed out by progressive ideologues who prioritize feelings over facts and social justice over substance. Our youth are being robbed of a proper education, leaving them ill equipped to navigate the harsh realities of adulthood in a rapidly changing world.
Duncan Trussell
Ask him what he thinks about the pyramids.
Josh
Would I press again? Play song to reset it.
Duncan Trussell
Yeah, play the song. Stop the song and say, yeah, you have to go send text up top. It's like the UI sucks right now. Click that. Is it not letting you click?
Josh
It says thank you.
Duncan Trussell
Oh, yeah. So this is just going to a fucking AI server on my computer and it's slow as fuck, so we won't keep bothering you guys. This thing isn't far from done. I'm gonna. When I go to Cleveland this weekend, I'm gonna be working on this non stop.
Mork Lovin (AI Puppet)
The pyramids, those magnificent edifices erected by an ancient civilization now lost to time, stand as testaments to human ingenuity and perseverance. Their sheer scale and enduring nature evoke a sense of awe in all who behold them. However, these sacred monuments are not merely architectural marvels. They are also poignant reminders of the fragility of our own society's foundations. As we witness the steady erosion of discipline, tradition, and order in the modern world, the one cannot help but wonder if history is doomed to repeat itself. The pyramids remind us of what we risk losing forever should we continue down this perilous path of cultural decay. It is imperative that we uphold and cherish these relics as symbols of our collective past, lest we forget the heights civilization can reach when guided by unwavering purpose and ironclad resolve.
Duncan Trussell
Okay, you could take it off. Yeah, this son of a bitch loves the pyramids, that the AI loves the pyramids. But, whoa, like, dude, if you've ever tried to fuck around with, like, Adobe Character Animator, for example, like, you've wanted to create some kind of, like, puppet show or something like that, and you've had to fuck around with Adobe Character Animator. It is an absolute pain in the ass. And I love Adobe. I love Adobe Character Animator, don't get me wrong, but, man, I think Adobe is, I mean, this is premature to say, but I think any of these like subscription based design companies are sweating bullets right now because this, you know, getting Adobe Character Animator to like animate itself requires all kinds of, you know, posing, modeling. It does do motion capture, but it's still clunky and fucking annoying. I just made this thing and what it's doing is It'll take any MP3, you can upload it to it and it will not just like, you know, lip sync the mp3. It transcribes the mp3, sends it to an AI. The AI identifies probably what poses go along with what it's saying, and then it animates the puppet based on the intent of the MP3, meaning that you don't have to animate the puppet, it just does it itself like a person. And then, you know, those movements are just the basic, you know, up and down arm movement. I haven't spent enough time like creating like various poses for it and stuff. But that's what's next. And then, because what I'm pretty sure I don't know, I mean, I do know one thing that I can do, which is I can reskin that puppet with different puppets. I don't have to use that puppet. I can just put a different skin on it and have multiple puppets talking to each other. Which is the next kind of what I'm going for here is I just thought it would be funny if I could like give it like a play, like My Dinner with Andre or something. But it's like Mork Lovin and like Bigfoot having dinner, but they're acting out the play. That's what I'm going for. I don't know how many of you are even coders or how many of you even mess around with this stuff, but Morley 3186 says it's taking puppet animator jobs. It's taking all the jobs. It is. It's a death spiral. There's nothing that can be done about it. I'm not trying to be nihilistic about it or anything, but I'm not sure what isn't at some point gonna be absorbed into this thing. And I know I'm not going to like every single episode of this, go on and on about AI, but I just really want to encourage you guys to fuck around with this stuff. It's insane. They just released one of the platforms that they use to build video games, is called Unity. And all of you already probably know this. I don't know. This is all new to me. But Josh, Pull up on YouTube Unity AI beta and look at this. What this dude did with AI built inside a video game creation engine that I asked Unity AI to build. Gta, look at this shit.
Unity AI Demonstrator
Can Unity AI actually build a playable prototype in minutes? Let's find out. I gave it my game design document and in the plan mode asked AI Assistant to set up a third person controller and a follow camera. With agent mode active, I can approve the plan. And Unity AI actually adds game objects to my scene. In a few minutes, we have a moving cylinder. Next, I prompt it to generate a drivable car and after a few iterations, a vehicle that I can enter and drive. I even gave it an image reference of a town and it converted the layout into a playable scene using primitives. This is where I take over. I swapped primitives for 3D assets, added different effects and focused on game design. Unity AI's context awareness helped me integrate animations and other elements with the scripts to speed up the process. The Unity open beta is out now. Try it out. Link is in the description.
Duncan Trussell
By the way, can Unity AI? You can take it. That's free. It's free. Unity's free. If you're like, until your app or whatever makes over $100,000, Unity's free. And the Unity AI thing is like $10 a month, but the first 10 days are free. So it's. I mean, for zero experience people out there, it is a pain in the fucking ass. Like, I'm a zero experience person. So all of these platforms are just absolutely cumbersome, complex, mathematical and made for aliens, basically. But with the addition of AI, you know, and just a little bit of sort of sweating it out to figure out, like, you have to. It's a ridiculous number of buttons you have to push and check marks you have to check to get the AI running. In Unity, you could just theoretically make a game. And what's fun about it is you will come into. There are roadblocks where that guy's like. And then after that, I just took it and I did the effects. That stuff is not as easy as it sounds. But then you could just bring that problem to like Claude code or whatever, and essentially you just turn into the imagination part of the system. The system does all the technical shit and boom. You can spit out games, you could spit out puppet shows. You can build these things that are probably never going to be built, because why would they? It's so liberating and so fun, especially for somebody who's loved video games and has Always sort of looked at making video games as kind of wizardry or something like that. I really, really think it's interesting. Nine Nines is saying it's dead simple to use AI and Unity with Unity cli. Yeah, I read about that. What is cli, by the way? We'll turn it off next time. Sorry about that. I apologize for that, you guys. But listen, I know I keep going on and on about this, but this has always been what I do on my podcast. I just talk about what's interesting to me, what I'm obsessed with, and, like, as I mentioned, full on AI psychosis. But, you know, I'm joking about the psychosis part. Or maybe I'm not. Maybe this is what it looks like. But the, to me, AI psychosis is sort of like you think you're a time traveler and it's confirming that it's not, like, having results. And listen, the shit I love to make is always weird and, you know, is usually not like an app that you would ever, like, sell or anything like that. But I do. I hate saying it. I'm just going to say this. I do agree with you, like, AI video generation, even though I do do it sometimes, it's got, like, a dead feel to it. But what happens if you don't apply AI to, like, generating video? You apply it to tweening and rigging and, you know, to, like, animating rigged models. At that point, it looks cool as fuck. At that point, it just looks like a little puppet. And that's me having no idea how to shade. Like, I need to. I could make it look way better than that if I understood how to wrap 3D models in texture, which just pull up any. You know, I just want to show you an example of how fucking crazy this is. Go on YouTube. Josh, pull up Blender tutorial. Foreign. This episode of the DTFH is brought to you by my dearest friends at Squarespace. What better time in human history than right now to have a website? A glorious beacon to all of the people out there who would love to see the stuff that you are creating, what you're up to, what you're doing. And they don't want to go on your socials, they don't want to go on Twitter. They're on dopamine fast. But they have no problem going on a website. And they're just fun to make. Yeah, I said it. Fun to make. Thanks to Squarespace. It wasn't always like that. Used to have to go down to the web designer district and find some dude covered in spiders and gelatin. Shake him out of his blood sugar stupor and give him a bunch of money. And he'd make something that sort of looked like a website, but it wasn't what you wanted. Now you can do it all yourself.

It's squarespace.com dunkin use offer code duncan to get 10% off your first Order of a website or a DOM. Yeah, do that 3D head from scratch. How do you sculpt a head from scratch? Now, to answer this question, we made a video that goes over the entire process of turning a sphere. Is this an ad for the realistic head? We'll start off simple by first creating the rough shape of a head from a UV sphere. We'll then start adding bit by bit, all of the facial elements. Okay, stop there. When it's saying bit by bit by bit, go. I want an actual tutorial. This. When it says bit by bit facial elements. No, there's a million fucking things they did. Click on Blender Tip 6. Blender Beginner Tutorial. Blender tips number six. You're working on a complex project and find it hard to see what parts you're working on. Go into viewport, select matcap Tick cavity box. Oh, of course. Now everything you see is highlighted. Ah, great. Go to a longer one.
Listener/Caller/Guest
Not as short.
Duncan Trussell
Just look at all the, all the panels on this. Fucking shit. Look for one that's kind of long. That one's probably pretty good.
Josh
This one.
Duncan Trussell
Block to beast in one hour. Look at that beautiful thing that guy made.
Blender Tutorial Narrator
Sculpting has come a long way in the last couple of years. It's now really easy.
Duncan Trussell
I think these are all jump ahead. I want. I just want them to hear how complex it is.
Blender Tutorial Narrator
Such as a tongue.
Duncan Trussell
There we go.
Blender Tutorial Narrator
Easily separated. Then make it a separate object and sculpt it separately. It's much easier and can be better for performance if you want to hide shapes. I could have probably done that with the horns. In fact, look at that.
Duncan Trussell
Look at the console, Josh.
Blender Tutorial Narrator
Like this, then.
Duncan Trussell
You ever fucked with Blender?
Blender Tutorial Narrator
Pull the shape about into weird places and see what you can come up with. The next stage is to remesh it to a relatively low poly count.
Duncan Trussell
Oh, of course.
Blender Tutorial Narrator
Try not to lose too much detail.
Duncan Trussell
Yeah, I don't want to find a polycount or Remesh, oh, 32,000 vertices. Oh, okay. Yeah.
Blender Tutorial Narrator
Should I subdivide that modifier and subdivide to add detail? Multi resolution modifier allows you to go to very high poly counts using things like the V EDM brushes, which I'll talk about in a moment.
Duncan Trussell
Okay.
Blender Tutorial Narrator
Before you do that, you still want to work on the shape, making sure the basic form is how you want it. You can see that I've added some eyes in there. Tiny eyes. Makes the beast look really big. My main go to brushes are the grab brush and the crease brush. The crease brush allows you to get nice anyway.
Duncan Trussell
You get the idea.
Josh
Seems pretty straightforward.
Duncan Trussell
Shut the up. The learning curve on this thing is insane. It's insane, insane, and, like, total respect for you blender modelers out there. Like, God damn it. It's like a. It's like flying in it. It's like a flight simulator mixed in with some kind of ridiculous, like, CAD software mixed in with just archaic weird shit that makes no sense, that doesn't even feel like it's connected to anything that's in the world. Like, you know, with Photoshop and stuff. You know, there's the palette, there's the brush. There's stuff you understand with this. It's like, what the fuck? What the fuck? And just moving around inside of Blender is a learning curve. Learning how to, like, get the camera to move around and stuff. And all of these things are why people go to school for graphic design. You've got to go to school for a long time to learn how to do it or. Or you just let an AI do it. And one of the biggest problems in modeling has been turning a 2D image into a 3D image. This is not an ad. I'm not doing an ad. You probably have seen ads for this. Not an ad. If it's an ad, I have to say it's an ad. I am subscribed to it. Pull up Meshy Josh
Josh
on YouTube.
Duncan Trussell
Just google Meshy M E S H Y Meshy AI this shit is insane. Which is that you can upload a 2D image to this fucking thing and it creates a 3D image from that, which then you can drop into blender and animate and it works. It works really well. And for those of you who've ever wanted to have like a 3D, like model, people are using this for 3D printers a lot. But it also just not only does it like go right in a blender, it will rig the model. So for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, rigging is when you put the skeleton inside of the thing and turn it into a puppet. And that is just fucking insane. Rigging not knowing what you're doing in blender is like you're gonna be listening to hours of YouTube tutorials from people with very thick Russian accents explaining how to do this stuff. And you're probably going to get sub optimal results. But you know, you could just pop a 3D model into Meshi. It'll put or a 2D image in a meshy. It'll put bones in it for you. Then you can drop that into blender and do whatever you need to do with it in blender. And then after that you can export it as. I know this is probably so boring. You can export that as. I don't know, these files are even archaic, like a GLB file. I don't know what that is. You export it as a GLB file, which then your AI can control, basically. And you could do that really easily without having to do too much. So make shit. Guys, this is a segment of the day stream where I say makeshit. Now I'm done. Velvet Dergonia. Thank you for the super chat. Talk about plasmoids. Oh, God. All right, you want me to talk about plasmoids? So, you know, I'm getting up there in age and you go to the doctor sometimes and you know, you got to get. You know, I'm trying to clean up my act a little bit when it comes to being so vulgar online, you know, I don't think that's cool. And so I need to come up with like, a more appropriate way to talk about my asshole. You go to the doctor and you know, he's like, you explained his symptoms. I've been having these, like, very weird bowel movements. Like sometimes it's so gross talking about this stuff orbs and lights and stuff will show up in my bathroom when I am taking dumps. And so I'm explaining to this doctor. It's very uncomfortable. It's a little unnerving. And then he's like, all right, let me drop your britches, man. I pull my pants down and lay down on the table. Now, I do want to say this. It's usually like, doctors are. They're not so beautiful. Have you ever noticed that, Josh? They're not. But, you know, it's rare to find, like, a symmetrical.
Josh
You're going to the wrong doctor.
Duncan Trussell
I didn't know. I didn't know Austin was filled with beautiful doctors, which is. City of Beautiful Doctors is one of the names for the city. And so, you know, in the. He was wearing this, like, this cologne that was, like. Usually I don't like cologne. It was, like, very floral, but, like, somehow masculine at the same time. Like some kind of rare lily growing in a jungle or something like that. I asked him, what are you? What is that? What scent is that? And he's like, it's a lily of the jungle. Which is so weird because that's exactly what it smelled like. And I've never been to a jungle, at least not one with lilies. Anyway. He's like, look, let's get to business. You know, I know this can be unnerving for people to have their asses checked out. And I'm like, yeah, you know, I
Listener/Caller/Guest
don't want you to.
Duncan Trussell
You know, I got kids. I just want everything to be okay down there. He slaps my ass, and he goes, it's okay. Trust me. It's okay. And it was so comforting.
Josh
Yeah.
Duncan Trussell
Has the doctor ever slapped your ass once? It's comforting.
Josh
Well, it was for tonsils, so I
Duncan Trussell
thought it was a little weird, but that is weird. Yeah, that's weird. But were you comforted?
Josh
I was. Cause he was beautiful.
Duncan Trussell
Yeah. Yeah, it's. Yeah. If this doctor had not been beautiful, I would have hated it when he slapped my ass. Anyway, to cut to the chase, the next thing I know, he's riding me like a horse, just filling me up.
Listener/Caller/Guest
And, like.
Duncan Trussell
Just like, you know, I'm straight, dude. And it happened so fast, but I just let go. The smell of his cologne, the gentleness that he was. The way. It was just so gentle. The gentleness of a doctor humping and humping and humping. And then, you know, the nurse walked in and shut the door, and he's like, shit. He's like, you're fine, man. You've got plasmoids in your asshole. And I looked down and on his rather large member, there was some kind of hyper dimensional, glowing jellyfish like thing that it clung to him. Because that's what they do. That's what they do. They're. They like to grab on to Dr. Dicks or I don't know, maybe any dick or whatever. And he's like, yeah, you know, I know that probably took you by surprise, but if you knew I was going to do that, number one, you might not have let me. Number two, they would have run up and it would have like gone deeper and up into your chest.
Josh
He would have gone deeper.
Duncan Trussell
Yep, that's exactly what he said. He's like. And I could tell this is not a regular occurrence for you, but it's a non standard thing. I hope you're not offended. I'm like, no, thank you so much. And so, yeah, thank you for the super chat. Wow, we got a lot of super chats coming in here. The rock climber in angel form is accurate to Mormon theology on what non Mormons will look like after they die.
Blender Tutorial Narrator
What?
Duncan Trussell
It's the telestial kingdom. People won't have members. It's called TK Smoothie. Wow, that's so cool. Dax Harris. Thanks for the super chat, man. So, wow, did I channel that? Do you think I connected with Moroni? Do you think I connected with a Mormon mind? Or the AI did. I just didn't want my angel to have a flapping old hog. Cause I couldn't then I knew I couldn't post it. Jesus L. Jesus 9. Thank you so much for the super chat, guys. You know what? That's vulgar what you're saying there. I'm trying to clean, clean it up here. Especially on a day's dream. My poop is all liquidy. Do you think it's the hantavirus? Should I buy toilet paper? Well, look, yes, you should definitely buy toilet paper. You mean to prepare for what's coming on May 15th? Yeah, you need to have toilet paper unless you want to wipe with your sock. Absolutely don't know if it's the hantavirus. Josh, pull up hantavirus symptoms.
Josh
That's that boat out there, right?
Duncan Trussell
Yeah. For those of you who don't know, there's a cruise ship out there that's got hantavirus and it's apparently transmitting from person to person. Now let's see.
Josh
It's usually just mice to people.
Duncan Trussell
Yeah. Hantavirus symptoms typically appear to one to eight weeks after existence exposure. That's fucking great. That's great. After exposure to infected rodent droppings or saliva, starting with one to five days of flu like illness. Early signs include fever, severe muscle aches, fatigue, headaches and dizziness. Within four to ten days, this rapidly progresses to severe respiratory failure characterized by coughing, chest tightness and shortness of breath. It's great. So what happened here is, you know, on a cruise ship there appears to be human to human transmission of hantavirus, which is definitely what you don't want. I'd heard about this before hantavirus because I was reading horror stories of the Appalachian Trail. People go up there, there are all these shelters up there. They go into these shelters to sleep and rats have been nesting in there and they breathe in the rat shit and they get hantavirus. But can you look up human to human transmission of hantavirus? Is this a new thing or has it happened before?
Josh
No, it's a new thing.
Duncan Trussell
Human to human transmission. It's extremely rare, but possible that Andy's virus strain while typically spread via rodent droppings or urine. The anti strain strain can transmit between people through close prolonged contact. Recent cases on a cruise ship highlighted this. That's fun. So yeah, you know, people are shitting their pants over this because it's a. You know, I didn't realize it took eight weeks for symptoms to show up. And so if there's some spreading hantavirus happening in the world, which one might expect, it's on a cruise ship. That means that when is it contagious in human to human spread of hantavirus? What week is it contagious? Probably have to be like symptomatic, right? This episode is sponsored by Better Help May is mental health awareness month. A reminder that whatever you're going through, you don't have to go through it alone. That is the craziest thing that we do as human beings. For some reason there's something at least in me. Something like, I don't know, some version of Clint Eastwood that I absorbed into me. I certainly don't act like that in the world. But the high plains drifter rides around in my heart. I get upset about something, get freaked out about something, get weirded out about something. And that fucking reclusive cowboy with a cool ass hat spits tobacco into the soil of my heart. It's like, don't talk about it. It.
Listener/Caller/Guest
No need. No one can help you.
Duncan Trussell
You ever have that? What is that in us? Then finally you confide in somebody. You tell somebody what's bothering you and you feel so much better. It's the most insane thing not saying it's not good to have a cool ass Clint Eastwood cowboy riding around your heart.

That's good news for everybody. Because if it was just spreading with no symptoms, we'd be all. We'd be fucked. But you know, obviously this is. People are saying this is the next pandemic. People are saying this is the next thing that's coming. This cruise ship. You're just floating out there. There's poor human beings stuck on this cruise ship, not able to get off. I think it tried to go into a port and they were like, fuck off. No way. Which is probably the right move. I mean, I don't mean to be Machiavellian. Machiavellian about this, but we might need to send that motherfucker down the straight of Hormu. I don't want another fucking pandemic, man. We don't want that. So, yeah, it's probably the hantavirus. Jesus, you probably have andy's hantavirus. Larry Bird 828. Thank you for the super chat. God. The two slit observer folds the multiverse in superposition. We have free will under his gaze. Love supporting the 828 from NC thank you, Larry Bird. You know, I went to elementary school at Etowah Elementary. My grandparents lived up there. I have a lot of memories from Etowah Elementary. A lot of memories. Like one of our friends, you could mix food in front of him and it made him puke every time. We always mix food in front of him. Kids are assholes. Dot 633. Stoked. You'll be in Cleveland this weekend. I'll be there on Saturday. Thank you for coming. I'm looking forward to Cleveland. I am. I love Cleveland. Love Philly. It's nice to have two cool cities right in a row makes me happy. Raddy Geetz says all the coolest people listen to this podcast. I couldn't agree with you more, 100%. We're a growing tribe. We're a growing collective of geniuses, artists who have built into us, deep in our hearts, the resounding desire to destroy the Great Pyramid of Giza. That's Operation Beast Blast, guys. That's what you're participating in? That you might not know it. You might have just stumbled onto this. You might not even know who I am. Why would you? You're like, who is this? What is this group of people? Why do I want to. Why do I feel like I've come home? Well, because you have. You have come home. This is it. And I don't have a lot of time on today's day stream. I got some childcare duty in my near future. But I want you to know something. You're not going to hear from the folks over there on mainstream media that there's any hope. You're not going to hear from this or that stream, that people are good. You're not going to hear from that asshole over there at the restaurant that in fact, humanity is one of the most incredible things that exists in this marvelous universe. Definitely galaxy, I don't know universe, but we're pretty good. Like in the galaxy, we're good. And one of the things that's incredible about us is that we change all the time. Just look back, look back through the history books. Look at all the crazy shit we've done that we legitimately got better. We used to burn witches. That was normal. Incinerating witches, we would do that. We used to think slavery was normal. I know there's still fucking slavery in parts of the world, but it's no longer looked at as, like a great thing. It used to be looked at as a viable way to, like, farm. We get better. We learn from our mistakes and we get better. Know a lot of you are saying that's a bunch of horseshit trestle. What are you talking about? We don't get better? There's no God. I don't know, maybe you're right. But people would say to Thomas Merton, the great Christian theologian, how could you say there's a God? Look at all the suffering in the world. His response was, I think there's a God. Because we haven't blown ourselves up yet. That's the only proof you need. Look at humanity. Look at how humans are. We haven't exploded ourselves. There clearly are cosmic Forces at work here seem to be benevolent. They love us. You can call them whatever you want. I go back and forth on it myself all the time. But the point is this. No matter what the fucking doomers out there might be saying. And by the way, if you're a doomer right now, I'm not saying you're wrong. Jesus Christ. Going online right now. You might as well stick your dick in a badger hole. You're gonna get some part of yourself chomped. Everything is tumultuous, unpredictable. Some of you might be in college. You don't even know if what you're studying is going to be viable for a job. You know, people have solutions to problems. We come up with them all the time. You can see what happens. We do get through problems. We absolutely do. But then more problems follow, you see? Why? Why? I'll tell you why. If you have a splinter in your foot, what do you do? Josh, what do you do when you have a splinter in your foot?
Josh
I take the rest of the day off and I tell my wife I
Duncan Trussell
can't do anything 100%. And that's self care. Mm. That's self care. But eventually you got to get that splinter out of your foot. You can't just keep putting band aids on it. It's gonna spread. You're gonna get an infection. There is a splinter in the foot of the world, friends. It's a pyramid shaped splinter. It's the Great Pyramid of Giza. And we can do it. They're not going to tell you we can. They're going to tell you. These systems in place that allow that motherfucker to exist, they're not going anywhere. They're going to tell you this is just how it is. Death and taxes and all that bullshit. They're going to make you feel helpless. They're going to tell you that this is some kind of long form bid I've been doing. I'm gonna blow up the pyramid of Giza, Dunka Trussell, let the frogs croak. Because when the frogs croak, the snake comes. And we are the snake. And we are gonna take out the Great Pyramid of Giza. It's just a few steps. I need to get more subscribers than Mr. Beast. So if you are listening, watching, enjoying this, and you haven't subscribed yet, just know you are. You might as well go and shove a up follow fucking dagger in the heart of a baby. Of a baby of a baby. What do you call those? Cute Panda. Not a baby. Never do. You shouldn't have do it to anybody. Just trying to think of the cutest thing out there. I think pandas are probably, you could argue, are cuter than human babies. So might as well shove a fucking poison dagger in the heart of a fucking panda. Subscribe not doing something is doing something. Not standing up against the pyramids is joining the upholders and supporters of the pyramids. I need those subscriptions. Gotta get up, up, up, up, up. Once I get more subscribers than Mr. Beast, within a month, I'll have enough money to buy the Great Pyramid of Giza. We're gonna saw off the fucking top, fill it up with Mentos, Diet Coke and blow that sky high. And that's what we're doing here. We're gonna take out the Great Pyramid of Giza. Based on what my physicists and explosive experts have told me, it will be more than enough energy to destroy the other two shitty little pyramids next to it. We can do this. Just because you might live in another country, just because you might be in some fucking cult or I don't know what, you're into. Some weird shit maybe. We completely disagree on most things. One thing no doubt we share in common is we want a better world for the children. My children, your children. We're not going to get there as long as that foul, foul structure sits on the flesh of this sacred planet. So thank you, all of you. I've got some more super chats and then I got to go. I've got childcare and I will literally be murdered if I'm late getting home. Tim, thank you. Thanks for the best dream. Duncan and Josh, would you mind shouting out my friend Pook? She makes great music and is on Spotify and YouTube. Everybody freak pook out. Go subscribe to her. Go listen to. I don't there. Go listen to she. Go listen to her music. Pull up Pook. I got to get out of here. Fucking pull up Pook on YouTube. Pook. Pook. Music up. Go up. Go up. I think I saw it go down a little bit, the first one. Is that Pook?
Josh
This one?
Duncan Trussell
Yeah. Is that Poop? That's not Pook. I'm gonna keep looking for Pook. I gotta go.
Josh
Got one more super chat.
Duncan Trussell
What the fuck? Thanks. You God damn. Thank you, fleabag. Happy birthday. Yeah. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, sweet fleabags. Happy birthday to you. You did it. You survived. And you were gonna survive long enough to see a pyramid free planet. I guarantee it. Thank you for the donation. Have I heard about the monsters they found under Mount Ebbott. Looking it up right now. We have a little bit more time than I thought. Josh.
Listener/Caller/Guest
Hold on.
Duncan Trussell
Monsters under Mount Abbott. Hold on. I'll Google it real quick. You know that's gonna grab this old man's brain. Monsters under Mount Ebbitt. Look it up right now. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is some kind of. These are people into the undertale. They do this to me. I don't know what it is. I'm not getting into it. Some kind of game or something or. I don't know what it is. It's some kind of troll. But features. Killing is unnecessary. Negotiate out of danger using the unique battle system. That's so cool. Time your attacks for extra damage. Blah, blah, blah. Created by one person. Become friends with all the bosses. That's so awesome. Not gonna play. I'm not doing it, Harry Hare. I'm not going down the rabbit hole. I'm not. Not doing. I can't. I can't. If I. If I. If I do this, you know, if I get sucked into anything like that, I won't. These will. These streams will end. The streams will end. Number one. I'll just disappear and. Yeah. I can't do it. Hey, godlike child. I hope your mom's doing all right. You didn't tank the stream at all. I thought that was very sweet that you asked for help. Godlike child's mom just got. He found something like a tumor in her bladder.

Listener/Caller/Guest
Back in my day, Undertale was eating it from the back. Now you kids are out there playing your weird retro games. You need to get off the screens and get into the ass. The ultimate video game. That was the game that was given to us by God to learn about ourselves and each other. By eating each other's asses. Dogs do it. Humans should do it. That's the very reason things are weird right now. Outside of the great Pyramid of Giza. Not enough y' all are out there eating each other's asses. Used to be normal. On the subway you just eat an ass. You didn't care. As long as shaking hands. And play Undertale. Some retro game. Cult game.
Duncan Trussell
Seems like a cult you guys make. Yeah, it does kill off viruses. Moon, gorilla. Thank you.
Listener/Caller/Guest
They want you to believe that eating ask causes viruses. It's causing the spread of parasites. Of course that's. They want you to think because they want you infested with parasites that are controlling your mind. Toxoplasmosis has been injected into most of us by the corporate systems and the slop they service in the fast food restaurants. They do this to control our minds. Our brains. Keep us locked in to the grid. They want us to accept all this and we all have to be tethered together by power lines. They all need to put fossil fuels into our cars. And the way they do that is by making our brains dumb. By creating genetically engineered parasites that they put in our brains every time you eat French fries. And there's one quick solution. Eating ass parasites.
Duncan Trussell
Hate it.
Listener/Caller/Guest
Number one way. And you can't eat your own ass. That's one thing you can't do. No way to do it.

Release Date: May 10, 2026
Host: Duncan Trussell
Setting: Solo “Night Stream” episode, with producer Josh and interactive chat/listeners
In this “solo” livestreamed episode of the DTFH, Duncan takes listeners on an unpredictable journey through prophetic rumors, advanced AI puppet tech, the weirdness of the internet, and the persistent dream of blowing up the Great Pyramid of Giza. Equal parts absurd, philosophical, and technological, the show weaves between sincere meditations on human progress, digressions into bowel humor and simulated news, and enthusiastic encouragement for artistic experimentation with new AI tools. If you missed the live chaos, this summary captures the episode’s free-associative energy—and maybe a little of its heart.
[00:00–02:00]
Duncan opens with mock-formal welcomes and a sheepish apology for a tech failure during the previous night’s stream. He reframes the minor catastrophe as a "miracle seed":
“Sometimes what we think is catastrophe is actually a miracle. The miracle seed. A miracle seed planted in the soil of reality that will at the very least grow wisdom.” — Duncan Trussell [00:58]
Memorable Moment:
[02:00–18:08]
Duncan is giddy (and at times flustered) showing off "Mork Lovin," a 3D sock puppet inspired by conservative news hosts. He enthusiastically details his struggle with Blender and excitement about AI-driven creative tools:
“I've never encountered a more insanely complex and difficult to understand bit of technology. Then Blender... Holy fuck.” — Duncan Trussell [01:30]
Highlights:
“This conversation will be a serious discussion about the state of civilization, not a venue for absurdity or hatred.” — Mork Lovin [14:51]
[03:49–08:05]
Duncan discusses a viral story spreading among evangelicals: that government agents are prepping televangelists to prepare their flocks for the revelation that “reptilian beings” (the Anunnaki) may have been our creators.
“This is going to change things potentially. And just maybe the revelation will be that we weren't created by the sweet Lord, but in fact, the Anunnaki wove us. Wove us together.” — Duncan [07:11]
Notable Details:
[18:08–22:39]
Duncan pivots to his obsession: AI’s rapid transformation of creativity and production.
“I have AI psychosis. I am now completely absorbed in making things with AI. It's all I want to do.” — Duncan [11:35]
“With the addition of AI, you know, and just a little bit of sort of sweating it out... In Unity, you could just theoretically make a game. And... You just turn into the imagination part of the system.” — Duncan [22:39]
Audience banter:
[29:43–32:26]
Duncan groans over Blender’s notorious UI and complexity, celebrating those who master it:
“It's like a flight simulator mixed in with some kind of ridiculous CAD software mixed in with just archaic weird shit that makes no sense…” — Duncan [31:05]
[32:26–39:52]
Prompted by a chat, Duncan spins a wild, deadpan tale of a visit to a (distractingly beautiful) doctor, with surreal and crass details:
“Next thing I know, he's riding me like a horse, just filling me up... And he's like, you're fine, man. You've got plasmoids in your asshole.” — Duncan [37:10]
[39:52–44:00]
“You know, on a cruise ship there appears to be human to human transmission of hantavirus, which is definitely what you don't want.” — Duncan [40:09]
[44:00–51:30]
With signature earnestness, Duncan reminds listeners that humanity evolves and can solve problems:
“One of the things that's incredible about us is that we change all the time... We learn from our mistakes and we get better.” — Duncan [48:29]
“We're gonna saw off the fucking top, fill it up with Mentos, Diet Coke and blow that sky high. And that's what we're doing here.” — [50:40]
“Not standing up against the pyramids is joining the upholders and supporters of the pyramids.” — [51:10]
[51:30–End]
“Back in my day, Undertale was eating it from the back. Now you kids are out there playing your weird retro games. You need to get off the screens and get into the ass. The ultimate video game.” — Listener/Character [57:53]
“She was really disturbed. Oh, guys. I love you guys. I gotta get out of here. I gotta go do a little childcare.” — Duncan [60:16]
“It's a death spiral. There's nothing that can be done about it. I'm not trying to be nihilistic about it or anything, but I'm not sure what isn't at some point gonna be absorbed into this thing.” — Duncan, on AI jobs [20:12]
“We haven't exploded ourselves. There clearly are cosmic Forces at work here seem to be benevolent. They love us.” — On why civilization still exists [48:42]
“When the frogs croak, the snake comes. And we are the snake. And we are gonna take out the Great Pyramid of Giza.” — Duncan, rallying subscribers [50:22]

This episode is classic DTFH: tech optimism, conspiracy absurdity, philosophical truth, and a loving, goofy communion with listeners. Duncan’s encouragement to experiment with AI, poke fun at the "doomers," and dream big—even about blowing up pyramids—embodies the podcast’s unique, brilliant weirdness.
“You're not going to hear from the folks over there on mainstream media that there's any hope... But people would say to Thomas Merton, the great Christian theologian, 'how could you say there's a God? Look at all the suffering in the world.' His response was, 'I think there's a God. Because we haven't blown ourselves up yet.' That's the only proof you need.” — Duncan Trussell [48:29]
