Terrible.

Lily
That's so nice.
Andrew
Including a Sandero bathrobe.
Lily
Shut up.
Andrew
It's pretty cool. I can't wait to touch it and see how it feels.
Lily
He asked me years ago to get him this specific bathrobe. And I've searched. I have poured over our text messages, our Instagram messages, and the link is not there.
Josh
It looks very Japanese, too.
Lily
Oh, yeah, yeah, it's gone forever. So he never got one.
Josh
Speaking of gifts, look at this. Look what we got sent.
Andrew
So shout out Hunter Harlow from Sendero. You guys are the best.

Is he the Sendero guy? Yeah, his line. His spaghetti Western, new line.
Andrew
They're incredible.
Lily
Insane.
Andrew
I mean, it's like the Whataburger stuff.
Lily
Amazing.
Andrew
Okay, this is insane.
Josh
Look at this. So this was sent to us, says Ironclad, which is Sean Ryan's new show.
Lily
Cool.
Josh
Watch this.
Taylor
What the heck?

What?

What the heck?

Thank you for being who you are.

Watch the trailers inside.
Lily
Come closer.
Josh
It's on. I'll show you later.
Lily
That's nuts.
Andrew
Isn't that awesome?
Taylor
The craziest box I've ever seen.
Lily
Wait, why did they send it to you guys?
Andrew
Because they love us and Sean's our best friend.
Josh
Yeah, that's great. We might get one of the. The guys that's. That helps produce that show on the pod. That's awesome because he. He knows a lot of stuff. Yeah, but they sent us their gummy bears that they're always talking about on the show.
Taylor
Cool.
Lily
What are those gummy bears do?
Andrew
I've always want to take one right now.
Lily
Wait, be careful.
Andrew
I'll take one right now.
Lily
What if it makes you super masculine?
Andrew
It's like 100 milligrams of like, THC.
Taylor
Sean Ryan.
Andrew
We didn't know you were into this.
Josh
It's literally just gummy bears. Oh, I thought it was energy. No, it's just gummy bears. It says corn syrup sugar. Yeah, just gummy bears. But he says it's legal in all 50 states. Every time he says it, you're like, what are.
Taylor
What are those?
Josh
Gummy bears. They're just gummy bears.
Andrew
That is the. That's true.
Lily
What if it's got something in it?
Andrew
Funny thing to say.
Josh
And then no active ingredient. Fanny pack. That is a. What do you call it? The emf.
Lily
Stop it right now.
Taylor
Oh, sick. You block your stuff.
Josh
Yeah, you can throw your phone in it.
Lily
What a cool dude.
Andrew
These gummy bears.
Lily
Marketing program.
Taylor
And let me grab one.
Josh
500 bucks.
Andrew
They're made of dairy, though.
Lily
For $10.
Josh
No, this is real.
Lily
Why they send us 500 so we.
Josh
Would talk about it.
Lily
That's pretend.
Josh
I'm just kidding. I put these in before.
Lily
That box is sick. We need to do that for Sunday school.
Josh
And that's sick.
Andrew
It's so funny that you brought prop money because I literally stacked myself full up for prop money.
Josh
Thanks, dad.
Andrew
Yep.
Lily
Let me try.
Josh
But yeah, super cool.
Lily
What is it?
Andrew
Super good gummy bears, Sean.
Lily
I'm sure you guys have seen the. The Amazon reviews for the Hasbro gummy bears because they people eat like half the bag and then they can't stop pooping. Have you ever seen. No, they're like a laxative.
Taylor
Yeah.
Andrew
We need to read some of these reviews.
Lily
Oh, they're so funny. They're like, I was eating this, you know, watching A movie not anticipating the lava.
Andrew
Okay, let's write Patreon. Let's do that. That would be a fun thing. Just let's go some. There's some fun reviews.
Josh
You got it.
Lily
I mean, it's hard.
Josh
Speaking of Patreon, we are going to do something on Patreon.
Andrew
So we're going to take my blood.
Josh
We're going to take Andy's blood. Recently, this is not a sponsor, but it kind of is because these guys are really hooking us up. It's a genesis health solution.
Andrew
They realize how unhealthy we are and we talk about all the time doing like competitions and stuff and like trying to get healthy and trying to do better.
Josh
But what they do is they send you a blood sample. It's this whole Interact thing. It's owned and operated by veterans do. Okay, so really cool dudes were in contact with Philip, who's awesome, is the best. He's working in intelligence, I believe.
Taylor
So just just to hear this correctly, we're taking people from the agencies that we conspire against at times.
Andrew
Sure.
Taylor
We propagate conspiracies from. And now you're giving them your blood.
Josh
Yeah. The retired.
Andrew
They're nice though.
Taylor
Cool.
Josh
They are nice.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
But what they do, it's really cool. It's like this whole online program to where you. It's all about like hormone therapy. Like getting all your levels back to where they are.
Taylor
Yeah, yeah.
Josh
But they also do like health and fitness. So you get a coach with that. Which we're getting a coach to help with health and fitness. I've already discussion that I'm super low on my manly hormone. I'll call it that Testosterone crazy low.
Andrew
And they said you're like, you're quadruple the amount of estrogen than a normal woman as well, which is weird.
Josh
That's why I've been crying so much.
Andrew
Yeah, you're super sensitive.
Lily
And so imagine though, like, you're so manly right now. Imagine when your levels are normal.
Josh
I know, it's gonna be crazy.
Andrew
Well, I'm thinking, I think you're gonna hate it. There's just outside chopping wood constantly.
Lily
I know.
Andrew
On a red meat diet all the time.
Josh
There's not a lot of research that I could find. But I wonder if a lot of my anxiety issues are because my testosterone is so low.
Lily
100%.
Taylor
Because women worry because they're always anxious.
Lily
Everybody stop it right now.
Josh
No, but we're super stoked and we do have a discount. But if you guys go to gen3health.com. You guys get a discount if you use the code ninja. That's 5% off for all general listeners. And if you're a veteran police or first responder, you get an additional discount.
Lily
That's fantastic. Watch our glow up.
Josh
And we're doing a 12 month journey. So every month at the beginning of the month, we'll report in with Genesis Health Solutions and say where we're at, how we're doing, and at the end of 12 months, we're gonna do. We have to. We gotta do it before and after picture.
Lily
I was gonna say, why don't we.
Andrew
Let's just run these videos next to each other as well. We'll have.
Josh
How about this?
Andrew
This episode's gonna be playing a year from now and you're just gonna have this clip up here.
Josh
How about in 12 months I shave my face again and we'll see how I look?
Lily
That's great.
Andrew
It's like the most squared off superhero chin ever, dude.
Josh
Like this.
Taylor
Now you're dead on with the T. It says testosterone influences the neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine and gaba, all of which regulate mood and calmness. When the levels drop, you become imbalanced, leading to anxiety, irritability. He's been, he's been a little. I am, yeah, restless.
Lily
I. I'm really excited. I really think that this has been the missing piece in your anxiety journey. You have been doing so good at taking care of your body. You've made so many changes to move in a positive direct. We're on a physical journey, a mental journey, a spiritual journey, all of it. And this is like the missing puzzle piece. So I can't wait.
Andrew
Because that's the thing that you don't see. Like, you don't see like, oh, maybe there's literally something off with my actual body that I can't control necessarily.
Josh
Yeah.
Lily
And for those of the dudes that are listening, they're like, that doesn't affect me. There's actually stats that are coming out right now that men that are in their 20s and 30s have lower testosterone than men in their 50s and 60s because of environmental toxins and like plastics and all that stuff. So, like, just go get looked at. For real.
Josh
Well, they did a test. They took blood samples from like, it was like over a thousand men ranging from like 20 years old to, I think 70. And the dudes that were like 16, 70 years old, their T was like maybe like 500, 600, which is pretty good for an old man. But it's Supposed to go down the older you get. And it was like, 90% of dudes in their 20s, they're in the 300 range. So crazy lower than the older men.
Andrew
That's nuts.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
I was at 5.
Josh
Were you?
Andrew
No, just literally 5.
Josh
Testosterone negative 50.
Taylor
Yeah. They're like.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
They said we can't find any.
Josh
Yeah. So I'm sorry.
Andrew
That's nuts, though. That's wild.
Taylor
Yeah.
Lily
I'm excited. Kelsey and I are going to do it too. Let's do what? If we put our before picture in Patreon? You can only see it if you're a Patreon member. No. Okay.
Josh
I mean, we could.
Taylor
We.
Josh
People have seen a shirtless. You posted a picture of me the other day.
Andrew
Oh, the one with the lion?
Taylor
Yeah.
Andrew
Yeah. It's so fun. It's my favorite.
Josh
But these guys, Genesis Health Solutions, they approach it from, like, a homeopathic love sense too.
Taylor
So.
Lily
Yeah, it's basically what I was describing it to my girlfriends today, because I'm trying to get them all on this train, and I'm just like. It's. What they're trying to do is basically bring functional medicine to the primary. Like, it's so hard to go get functional medicine care anywhere. And it's also extremely expensive. These guys are saying we're gonna make it accessible to everybody.
Josh
So what's cool is that they have doctors on staff, too.
Taylor
Okay.
Josh
To where, like, so you fill out a thing, and then a doctor calls you, and they go through your blood work and stuff, and then they diagnose you with whatever. And then they also have a pharmacy that they. They'll send you stuff. So it's all over the Internet, which is sick.
Lily
Yeah.
Andrew
And once again, not a sponsor.
Josh
Not a sponsor.
Andrew
We're literally just excited about this. We're trying to, like, we want to do this podcast till the day we die.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
And it might be next year if we don't do this.
Lily
Yeah.
Taylor
So if you're bad.
Andrew
So we're doing this so we can live forever.
Taylor
So this is still technically ad free because they're not a sponsor.
Andrew
Yeah. And also, you literally get to see me take blood because they send you a box, and it's a whole little gadget that you stick into your shoulder, and I'm gonna see how it goes.
Lily
Are you gonna film it on the show?
Andrew
We're gonna do it on Patreon. Like, I'm gonna. I haven't even opened the box and read the instructions. We're gonna do it all on Patreon.
Josh
Needle free. Device that you stick on your arm.
Lily
And it sucks your blood like a.
Josh
Apparently we're gonna find out how it works.
Andrew
Like a mosquito. I think there is. It does have a tiny, tiny needle prick. Yeah.
Lily
That's interesting.
Andrew
Yeah.
Lily
Whenever I would do like my gender test with babies, you have to do that. You stick a needle in your arm and.
Andrew
Yeah.
Lily
Trouble it. Anywho.
Taylor
Cool.
Josh
We'll talk more about on Patreon.
Lily
Another. Another thing about non sponsored brands that we love. I just ordered a box from Fish Wife.
Andrew
Oh, yeah.
Lily
Any of our listeners are connected to Fish Wife.
Josh
I would love to be sponsored by Fish Wife.
Lily
Also, just send us some tuna belly for us to try, please.
Josh
Yeah, they got a new canned tuna belly, but it's 75 bucks.
Andrew
Oh, my.
Josh
Three cans.
Lily
Goodness.
Andrew
Goodness gracious. So it's actually like belly fat. Like belly meat from an actual tuna.
Josh
It's like the bacon really, of the tuna.
Lily
They just dropped their gift sampler box. I got it from my dad for his birthday. I think my dad is not gonna see this episode, so he doesn't need to hear it, but he's not gonna hear it. But I am over the moon. So excited for this sampler box.
Josh
Fun stuff. Speaking of fun stuff, do you want a song?
Lily
Yeah.
Josh
I hope. We'll see how this goes.
Taylor
I believe in both of you.
Andrew
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Josh
We literally. We didn't even practice it.
Andrew
This is. Yeah. First time in.
Taylor
Ever.
Andrew
I mean, usually we practice it at least once. Right?
Lily
I walked in on you practicing.
Andrew
No, we've done some improv stuff without Andy.
Josh
Oh, Andy. Andy.
Andrew
Josh.
Josh
And it's also probably gonna get flagged. I'm in the upside down help.
Taylor
You ready?
Josh
Yeah.
Taylor
All right, here we go.
Josh
I woke up, rested right at dawn, then put my new outfit on. Out the door I went, no traffic, got to work and walked inside.
Andrew
Inside.
Josh
My boss shook my hand, said I'm so handsome and hands me a hundred bucks. Go ahead and go to lunch. Eat anything you want. And I ate.
Andrew
There's so much freaking tacos. Tacos. I ate. I ate so much freaky tacos. Tacos. And then I just pooped my pants so badly in front of everyone I know. Then I just poop my pants so badly. Now I got to go.
Josh
My pants so badly. I just put my pants so badly.
Andrew
In d worst way. Dude, we freaking nailed it. We freaking flag.
Taylor
Flag.
Josh
Flag. Flag. You know, that's the benefit of going.
Taylor
First try is it might not get true.
Andrew
They'll listen to it. And it's like, oh, this is flagged and they'll watch it and be like, you know what? Just let them have it. Yeah, just let them have it.
Josh
They can keep that one. What was that song original Taking Back Sunday.
Lily
Oh, I see.
Josh
Can't say the name because there's a curse word in it. Oh, make darn sure.
Andrew
Make darn sure.
Josh
Make darn sure Man.
Taylor
It's one of the most influential songs of my teen years.
Josh
It was same. Love it. Love Taking Back Sunday. I love.
Andrew
That's the only song I've heard.
Josh
Taking Back Sunday.
Taylor
Spider Man.
Josh
Cool. Taking Back Sunday. Cool, Cool.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
Yeah.
Lily
I really like these.
Andrew
They're really good. They're very, like, soft. I was going to say tender, but I was going like, I was. Think that was the right word for it? Cuz it's usually like gummy burn.
Josh
Shut up.
Andrew
I can't remember what is.
Lily
Quiet.
Andrew
You could have just asked.
Josh
What are we doing?
Andrew
What are you.
Taylor
What is that? What is that? Company. Stop doing something. You need help, dude.
Josh
This has nothing to do with what's inside my body. That's everything I do with what's inside my heart.
Taylor
Well, that.
Josh
Okay.
Taylor
Doesn't make sense, but.
Andrew
All right, that adds up.
Josh
Zip it. I'm scared. This question has me nervous.
Andrew
Okay.
Josh
We live in a really dark world right now. A lot of bad things are happening. A lot of people are going missing. A lot of crime is happening. A lot of items are going missing.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
Wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, famine, scary stuff.
Andrew
Stubbed toes.
Josh
And this question, apparently somebody knows something because this is. It's directed right at Lily.
Lily
Oh, gosh.
Josh
Which is. I don't know why they're always directed at Lily somehow. I mean, this one's specific.
Andrew
A lot of people say she's the cornerstone of this podcast.
Josh
They do. They do say that. Just get on with it. Just rip the band aid off.
Andrew
You ready?
Lily
Go ahead.
Josh
Today's question sent in by a viewer. Lily, where were you October 19, 2025?
Lily
What is today?
Andrew
I think it's the 27th.
Josh
We're filming on the 27th. This is coming up.
Andrew
Yeah. Look at your calendar. Because this, like, this is not something you just need to be like.
Josh
Where were you, Lil? October 19, 2025.
Lily
Was that Tuesday last week? No, October 19th was a Sunday.
Josh
Lil, where were you October 19, 2025?
Andrew
Let's start with this. I'm trying to find out, what state were you in? What country?
Lily
United States. Florida.
Andrew
Okay.
Lily
I was carving pumpkins with my nephew and my children.
Andrew
Oh, that sounds like follow up alibi.
Josh
I got a follow question.
Lily
That was your birthday.
Josh
What's under your chair?
Andrew
No, there's something. Is that out? Is that in frame? Do we need a.
Josh
Was that red thing? What is that box? Is that a box or is that like a.
Andrew
Looks like a cord or something? No, we're not gonna scare. Why. Why would we ever scare you during question?
Josh
What is that?
Andrew
Yeah, pick it up.
Josh
What is that?
Andrew
No, there's no.
Josh
Grab the box, Lil. What is it?
Andrew
What does it say?
Josh
Here, face it towards the camera.
Lily
2 Lily from Les Garcons Laker Sands.
Andrew
What is that? French?
Josh
French.
Andrew
That means the.
Lily
Are we going for it?
Josh
Protect. Protect you if you're wrong.
Andrew
Protect me if I'm wrong.
Josh
Yeah, I will.
Andrew
But is it less garcons? Does that mean the boys?
Josh
I had to say that means the boys.
Lily
Whoever made this doesn't. Isn't one of you guys.
Josh
To Lily from the boys.
Lily
Josh, did you write this? Because that's not how you spell my name. Did you know that?
Andrew
Well, that's for Lily. In French, they do two Ls.
Josh
Yeah. Lily, what's in the box?
Andrew
It's obviously for you.
Lily
Oh, so fancy.
Andrew
What is. I'm sorry, what is that?
Josh
Are those.
Andrew
Is that not. That's not what I think.
Josh
Is that Napoleon's wife's necklace that was stolen from the.
Taylor
Lou.
Andrew
Josephine, Are you honored? What do you mean?
Josh
You're on.
Andrew
What are you talking about?
Josh
Why are you acting so.
Andrew
Lily.
Josh
So you knew about this?
Andrew
You obviously were behind this.
Josh
You were behind.
Andrew
You hired these men.
Josh
You hired the. How do you say it? Lego sans les Go songs, the boys.
Andrew
You did that.
Taylor
She's.
Lily
You're right. It was me.
Josh
Well, I guess you guys heard it here first. Lily is a mastermind behind the thievery.
Taylor
That took place at the Louvre, where they stole history. History.
Andrew
Lil, she's like, history. I want to make it her story.
Josh
Shame on you. Welcome to the show. Did I say ninja?
Lily
I meant butterfly.
Andrew
The butterfly is no doubt one of God's most beautiful mind. You were martial arts?
Lily
Josh, did you write this?
Andrew
Disgusting. No, that was me. I was like, there's not two Ls. I don't know why I put two Ls. Stop. Relax.
Josh
The Louvre.
Lily
The Louvre.
Josh
The Louvre heist. As when this comes out, it's a.
Andrew
Couple of weeks past.
Josh
Yeah, yeah. But holy moly, dude. They did catch two people that were involved in it. Arrested them.
Taylor
Oh, that. That's. This is a thing that happened. Oh, yeah. I've been under a rock.
Lily
Oh, my gosh.
Andrew
Here we go.
Lily
They got a ladder it was literally like a 1950s.
Andrew
She's just.
Taylor
Ye.
Lily
Go ahead, go ahead.
Josh
You set it up better. October 19th. Andrew.
Taylor
Dude. Okay.
Josh
It was just a normal day in Paris, France.
Taylor
What happened?
Josh
Don't joke around. This is serious. This is a legit thing. These dudes, they dressed up as construction workers and they had a truck with a. Like a cherry picker ladder on it.
Taylor
Yeah, yeah. Like tree service style.
Josh
Yep. They pull up to the Louvre, they go up there in their vests and helmets and stuff. Bust in a window, go in there and they literally have like grinders with like the diamond plates on. Cut the glass where all the necklace and the jewelry and stuff were. Take it. Get down. They try to set their truck on fire. And then they just got on the little scooters and took off. Yeah.
Andrew
And they got away, dude. They were caught yesterday though. Apparently.
Josh
Apparently.
Andrew
Apparently they're the guys. Allegedly.
Josh
But when this comes out, they still don't know where all the. The jewels are. Jewels? The jewelry?
Andrew
Yeah.
Taylor
So that stuff wasn't like. Wasn't under. No. No sensors on the glass?
Josh
No, it was because it was like the alarms going off and stuff. But like the way that they came in and they did it like within minutes.
Andrew
And they were aware of a certain blind spot with the surveillance camera, which is crazy because they. They had to have known.
Taylor
I'm trying to figure out though, like, I mean, man, that takes. I feel like that's minutes is too much time to pull it off, but I guess not, dude.
Andrew
I mean, it's just one of those things. You don't get to hear about this type of stuff often. And it's a terrible thing. It's breaking.
Taylor
I know where you're going. Yeah, yeah.
Andrew
But it's also a museum, dude. It's just stuff and it's kind of exciting. I don't know if that's right of me to say that, but I think it's crazy.
Josh
I mean, it was like an ocean's movie, dude.
Andrew
You got the promotion for the new oceans movie is getting crazy. That's basically what.
Taylor
It's the type thing like if the two of you found out that you had two months to live, I could for sure see you both being like, dude, we should try it.
Andrew
That'd be us in the Smithsonian, dude. Walking out with a giant 10 foot femur or something.
Josh
Did you guys see the. The detective that was.
Andrew
Dude, yes.
Josh
Let me send the picture.
Taylor
I don't know.
Andrew
Lily, have you seen this?
Lily
When you Google this, it says there's CBD. Lily, I've eaten, like, 30 of them.
Josh
Let me see it.
Andrew
That better not be true.
Lily
Oh, my gosh. I'm about to freak out if that happens.
Andrew
I'm panicking.
Lily
I literally just ate 30 of them.
Andrew
The only adult in my daughter's lives right now.
Lily
She's on her way home.
Andrew
They're gonna bait. No, they have to go pick her up at the airport.
Lily
Oh, gosh.
Josh
There's no CBD in it.
Lily
The key ingredient in Vigilance Elite Gummy Bears is cbd.
Josh
There's no cbd.
Taylor
CBD on their website.
Andrew
Okay. Golly, could you imagine?
Lily
I was starting to, like, psycho myself out. Like, I was freaking out.
Andrew
Yeah. Yeah.
Josh
I'm glad I didn't, because I actually would have freaked out. Would you want to join the conversation now?
Lily
You guys did a really good job recapping what happened.
Josh
Look, 19th, look at the picture of the detective.
Andrew
Just start again.
Josh
That was on the case. This is a real, real detective.
Lily
That is not real.
Andrew
That's. No, it's 100% real. That's the crazy thing. It makes it. This all seems like a movie.
Taylor
That. Dude, man. What do you do? What. What are you doing with the outfit?
Andrew
That guy was brought out of his apartment. That's like. Like he hasn't been outside. He's been studying reading, and they're like, sorry, we have a case for you.
Lily
He said, I've been waiting for this case my whole life.
Josh
Actual shot, not AI Of a French detective working on the case of the French crown jewels that were stolen from the Louvre. Dude, embrace in daylight.
Taylor
I'm trying to figure out of all the things to be hung up on, but the fact that he's got a black jacket and blue accents with a brown hat is kind of taking me off.
Andrew
He's French, dude. What do you expect?
Taylor
I expect more from the French.
Andrew
No, don't. You need to expect less. Every single day, you need to expect less.
Lily
You need to start researching it, Andrew, because it's just, like, kind of delightful that this.
Andrew
It's a crazy story. I mean, no one got hurt, thank goodness. I'm not condoning it, but, golly, of all the crimes to commit.
Lily
Yeah.
Andrew
If you had to choose just one jewelry heist for museums. Not a bad one.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
Once again, I feel bad saying that.
Lily
I just love that everybody's saying AI could never make this up. And I heard they weren't actually Josephine's jewels. They were his second wife. Second wife. Which is. I mean, like, if anything needs to be preserved, it's Josephine because she's an Icon.
Andrew
Yeah. Second wives don't count.
Josh
Correct.
Andrew
Shout out to the second.
Josh
Not to God.
Taylor
That's not true.
Lily
We don't feel that way.
Josh
That's a joke.
Andrew
It's a comedy show.
Josh
Come on.
Andrew
That's so funny. Not to God. What a crazy story, though. So fun.
Lily
I feel relaxed.
Andrew
It's a move like this.
Lily
I'm worried this is progressing.
Andrew
Yeah, yeah. You're just gonna be like. You're gonna be in the couch.
Josh
There's no CBD in it.
Andrew
You remember the. The. The no. The no drugs ad? She's like, you don't play with me anymore. And it's like her sister that, like, melted into the couch. Oh, yeah, she's just, like, completely deflated into the couch. That's gonna be you at the end of the episode.
Josh
Wait a second. It does say 5 grams of THC, though.
Lily
Stop it. Don't say that. Oh, my God.
Andrew
I'm telling you, that literally would be per gummy worm.
Lily
I literally ate 30.
Andrew
Yeah, you're good. It's just weird that he sells just regular gummies, though, right?
Josh
It's the.
Lily
Yeah, with, like, dye in them and stuff. But they're made in America, which is cool. But if you're gonna make your own gummy, why don't you make it with dye? Free dye.
Taylor
Hey, be nice to Sean.
Josh
Yeah. Leave Shawn alone.
Lily
They're delicious, everybody. For real. I ate 30 of them.
Josh
Speaking of 30 of them.
Andrew
Huh?
Josh
We got about 30 inches of rain last night.
Andrew
Dude, I thought we were in the middle of a hurricane, bro.
Josh
That was insane.
Andrew
Out of nowhere. It was not on the forecast whatsoever.
Josh
Nothing.
Andrew
Because I was supposed to be working outside all day, and I was like, okay, it's only supposed to drizzle for, like, two hours. We're good. 20% chance.
Josh
Yeah, it's a 20. 20 to 30% chance. And then it rained for six hours straight.
Andrew
I think even more than that because it started at noon and I went to bed at, like, 11 o', clock, and he was still. Cat dogs.
Josh
It was rained right on our house. What was it, 14.6 inches?
Taylor
Yeah. We have flower, like, vases all over the deck, and every one of them is like, literally, it's full to the brim.
Josh
Yeah. We had the road that goes into downtown Mount Dora. Donnelly just completely collapsed into the ground with a car.
Andrew
The main road, it's a crazy busy road.
Josh
I will say this. There's been a government shutdown.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
And I don't know if you've noticed, but during the shutdown, I haven't Seen a lot of chemtrails.
Andrew
I haven't been paying attention.
Josh
It was yesterday when we were driving to Orlando. Just chemtrails everywhere.
Andrew
Really?
Lily
Yeah.
Josh
Dead serious.
Andrew
Is the government up and running again?
Lily
No, not yet.
Josh
They're probably like, we got to make it rain.
Taylor
See, my. My whole thing is if the government, like, what. What does that mean? If they're shut down, they're not enforcing stuff because they're literally not at work.
Josh
Yeah. They're not paying.
Andrew
Right.
Josh
Like, a large majority of government employees.
Taylor
Including air traffic controllers, terrified that we're flying this Thursday.
Josh
You want to get there early because they're saying that, like TSA and stuff, a lot of people aren't working because they're not getting paid.
Taylor
Thankfully, Orlando has that like, live tracker, so you can see how backed up it is.
Andrew
Are you talking. Are you talking about the video? The guy that made no money out of shift and then had to go doordash afterwards.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
Just to make some money.
Josh
Yeah. His Pay stub said 0.00.
Andrew
No, they don't get back pay, do they?
Josh
I don't think so.
Andrew
I mean, then why continue to work except just truly just service just to.
Lily
Keep your job, probably.
Josh
Maybe they do get back.
Taylor
They would have to get back paid because, like, my ticket's not free. So the, the money's there.
Josh
It is so frustrating because it's like, who do you blame in this? Right. It's both parties just doing this at each other where they couldn't agree on whatever the budget, whatever should have done.
Taylor
Stay Together for the kids by Blink182 because that's how I feel right now.
Lily
Oh, that's so good.
Andrew
Should have done a government shutdown song.
Josh
But yeah, they just. It's like the Democrats wanted this and that in it and it was like crazy stuff. And the Republicans are like, there's no way we're going to put that in it. So it's all right. Well, we're just going to shut it down.
Andrew
It's crazy.
Josh
And so there's no. There's no resolution right now because they're both like, not going to do it. Not going to do it.
Lily
It is so.
Josh
But this is the mess up part. All congressmen are still getting paid.
Taylor
Yeah.
Josh
So they're not missing out on page.
Lily
They don't really care.
Andrew
So this is vacation for them.
Josh
It's vacation. And it's just like, because they're not.
Andrew
Working, they're just not.
Josh
It's hurting the American people. Like the food stamps, whatever it's called, they Shut down snaps. They're stopping those on November 1st unless it opens back up.
Andrew
Why?
Josh
Because there's no money. They're right. They ran out of money.
Andrew
There's money.
Josh
They said they run. There's money. Listen, this is just what they're saying, dude.
Andrew
I mean.
Josh
I mean, we're still paying taxes.
Lily
Yeah. We're still getting charged, dude. When are we gonna revolt?
Taylor
Right now.
Andrew
Everyone watching. Have you. Have you heard? I don't know if it was legit or not, but it was from the movie Succession and they were talking about Mark Zuckerberg. And he tells a story about how it's like in ancient times when they would have slaves. I think it was ancient Rome. And you know, they were like. They were. They were coming up together, like, hey, let's get all slaves to wear a specific outfit. That way, like, we could tell who's who. And then they apparently just chose against that because they realized that if all the slaves were looking around and they saw how many of them they were, they would revolt because they would see how. How few leaders they actually have. And so I was like, that's interesting.
Josh
Did you see the guy on Tick Tock where it's like a. It's a. It's a farm. But he like, went up and like, if you can like purchase the produce, like right from the farm, okay. But it has like these Haitian workers on it in America. Yeah. And he walked up there and he's like, and. But there's a dude, like, sitting in a truck, like, watching him, like, it looks sketch.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
And he's like, hey, do you like, are you here on your own free will? And they're like, go, go, go, go.
Andrew
What is happening?
Josh
It's like. And so he's like, trying to document, like, what is going on. Like, it seems like they're like slaves.
Lily
We think that this is just like a non reality. But I saw a video one time of a guy that had escaped human trafficking. And I guess I've always had it in my head that, like, if you're captured in human trafficking, they'll usually take you to another country.
Taylor
They.
Lily
There's a whole underground system of. Of slate enslaved people in our nation. And like, where are they working and where he said he was working in Texas.
Josh
Really?
Lily
He was taken to Texas? Yeah. And like, you think about freaking Wayfair, dude. You think about. I just saw this thing again.
Andrew
That was crazy. Yeah, that whole conspiracy was wild.
Lily
The $18,000 cabinets that had obscure names that were affiliated with missing children in the nation. And it's like it literally to me is so apparent that it would happen in plain sight. Like that.
Andrew
Yeah. And it's the whole idea of like that, you know, I realize how crazy you sound, Lil, when you say yeah.
Lily
You sound so crazy.
Andrew
That's the type of thing when those things happen. I'm like, you know what, I don't care. I will believe in it.
Lily
But like, what are we going to do?
Andrew
Yeah. Yeah. I would much rather believe in that. Like instead of just the fact that. Yeah. Kids go missing and, you know, we can't really do anything about it. It's like, no, there has to be something going on.
Lily
Yeah.
Andrew
I mean, maybe not for all cases, but there's a lot out there and we're not, we're not doing anything about it.
Taylor
Yeah.
Lily
Josh's Uncle Brian was really involved in the anti human trafficking movement to where they would involve local law enforcement and they would go and do these busts and get the kids out.
Andrew
Yeah.
Lily
And he said, you would not believe it is the most affluent neighborhoods. It's the ones that are butt to butt houses right next to each other where you think that somebody would take them out to like a cabin in the woods. It's happening right in front of us.
Andrew
Yeah. Yeah.
Josh
It's scary.
Andrew
I would love to have Uncle Brian on the pod. That'd be a fascinating conversation.
Lily
His best friend Eric Nori should come too. He's that guy who's been struck by lightning like seven times and bitten by a million snakes.
Andrew
How about not bring him here?
Taylor
Yeah.
Andrew
That's a remote interview kind of thing, you know?
Josh
Yeah. Talk about them all. Like, I feel like we've talked about him a couple times, but like birds land on his shoulders and like this weird stuff, weird energy.
Taylor
Yeah.
Andrew
That's amazing.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
It's crazy because they say, I mean, they say trafficking, I mean like slavery is a bigger problem than it's ever been in history. Like we talk about, it's like a past issue. It's at numbers wise, the biggest it's ever been.
Taylor
Did you guys ever do that like technology tracker where you could like look at, put in the technology you use and then it would give you your footprint for like your utilization of slave trade.
Lily
Oh, golly.
Taylor
It's terror. Like things like your phone, your TVs, all of that technology. When you look at it from the different places around the world, like, you know, they might just be getting one part for the iPhone from a specific Asian country, but when you follow the rabbit trail, this organization actually looked at each of those Companies. And it's like basically the equivalent of like how many slave hours went into producing the things that you use for everyday life. And it's high.
Andrew
And I don't know if it's just like, that's part of living in a dark and broken world that you just can't get away from it. But it's like, it gets so overwhelming sometimes. This is like the same reason when people look at how sausage is actually made and you see how mistreated cows and pigs and it's like, you watch that enough, you really probably. You have to make that decision. I don't think I could do meat anymore. It's the same thing. When you find out all this stuff that's going on in the world, how clothing's made, how our electronic stuff is made. It's like, do I just not purchase anything? Do I just.
Taylor
Yeah.
Andrew
Make my own bike somehow and like, just live? I mean, you. You just can't though. Like, that's not the world we're living in.
Lily
No, I think you're right. I think that everything, all this suffering that we bear witness to in the world is just a reminder that we do live in a broken world and we need to be saved by a savior. I saw something the other day and they were like, oh, yeah, your handmade clothing. It was like what we had all assumed was a reputable savior site to buy clothing from. You go. And it's in the slums of India and these guys, I mean, it looks like slavery. They're working night and day for their. Because it is handmade.
Josh
Yeah.
Lily
Hand dyed, you know?
Josh
Yeah, man. Messed up world.
Lily
So tough.
Josh
Anyways, it rained a lot.
Andrew
It rained a lot. I want to go back. How do we get there? How? We went from rain, we went to chemtrails, we went to government shutdown, and then we went. How do we get from government shutdown to what we were just talking about?
Josh
I don't even.
Andrew
I don't even know. That's crazy.
Taylor
It was. We were talking about being paid and then food stamps.
Andrew
Yeah, that's so funny.
Lily
The rabbit trail, the Haitian farmers.
Taylor
Right. I do want to know if the government shut down, will the FWC do anything if I'm just out hunting?
Josh
I don't know.
Taylor
Because I saw that, I think it was Trump made a kind of sarcastic comment alluding to something with hunting. I was like, I don't know that if I did something way down here on this end of the totem pole, that his joke would protect me.
Josh
I heard that Elon Musk was paying some of the troops or paying the troops.
Andrew
Is that true, like, personally?
Josh
Yeah, that's just what. So what somebody told me. I'm like, really?
Lily
That's pretty cool.
Andrew
I don't think a cop can arrest me if the government shut down, though. That's got to be true. Right?
Lily
I don't think I have to pay my traffic violations if the government is shut down. Right.
Josh
I know they do. The essential government workers are still working and being paid.
Lily
Like the essential ones that like, take money from us and.
Josh
Yeah. Well, they also said The Trump's using.
Andrew
$130 million from anonymous donor to pay military salaries amid shutdown. An anonymous donor for 130 million. That seems suspicious.
Lily
Benjamin Netanyahu.
Josh
Maybe.
Andrew
Speaking of which, it's rumoring that it's musk. Apparently that's what it is.
Lily
Cute.
Josh
The Amazon web cloud service that went down last week. It's crazy. Really freaky, actually. Well, one, let me start off with this. This is crazy. You know, you did your whole AI thing with the answer. Apple, if you can't answer. Sure, Josh. That helps out at my dad's property. He did that and he went super. Down the rabbit hole or whatever. But it said one of the first things that would happen is before the nation started to crumble or before this whole new world order started to play, is that the Internet would crash down.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
To where you can't access your bank, you can't do all that stuff. And that Amazon web server was just kind of like a little teaser of like, this is what could happen. Because there was like over. I think it's 20,000 businesses use this Amazon web server.
Andrew
Okay.
Josh
And it went down at like 3 in the morning. When was it? Yeah, it was like three in the morning that it went down. 2,000 businesses. Sorry. But millions of users reported service issues. Both freaky. Is that it just shows Internet's resilience depends on a handful of firms and infrastructure points. When one key piece fails, many downstream servers suffer.
Taylor
Yeah.
Josh
So, like, I just like.
Taylor
Yeah, dude.
Josh
It's how we're so vulnerable.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
And I think it was a little cyber attack. But they're not saying anything about it.
Taylor
That's what they did. I mean, a lot of people think it was China with the airports.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
Yeah. Last year when. Yeah. When all that stuff went down. I mean, it's happened more frequently, it seems like.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
And we're more vulnerable than ever. The technology in other areas like China are getting so much more advanced than us. It wouldn't be hard.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
We're wide open.
Taylor
We have so many people who are, like, leading the development of AI. And I know obviously China is super advanced, too, but all I can hope is that if this is the reality, that it's going both ways. Like, I'm sure if we're doing, you know, shady stuff, like attacking cyber stuff in China, we're not reporting on that. What?
Andrew
Yeah.
Taylor
You know what I mean? So the hope would be this might just be what warfare looks like. It's like, for sure, let's throw a punch and then negotiate something for a temporary peace.
Josh
Yeah.
Taylor
So this might be in place of, you know, storming the beach, which I'll. I'll take.
Andrew
Yeah.
Taylor
You know, but it is definitely a volatile world to live in.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
Volatile. Speaking of volatile, I know what that word means.
Josh
Trump's ballroom.
Andrew
Dude, I've heard some conspiracies about this. All right, so what would you think? What could possibly be a conspiracy? But behind this ballroom, I got.
Josh
I got all the receipts here.
Andrew
It's actually a ball pit. Jumping around in a ball pit, like, real fun. I thought you said ballroom.
Taylor
Is this what he's.
Josh
The.
Taylor
The wing stuff?
Josh
The west wing, I believe.
Taylor
West. East. East.
Josh
East wing, yeah, east wing.
Lily
I. I don't even know where my brain is going.
Andrew
The thing is, because, like, people are saying, like, how can you do this? And it's like. And they brought out pictures, whatever her name is, that the White House secretary or press secretary comes out and shows pictures of people, like, you know, like in the past and stuff, doing things. And it's like, that was like, like renovations and stuff. And like, they're, like, demolishing it.
Taylor
Yeah.
Andrew
And then, like, building.
Josh
I mean, there's some presence like that added, like a bowling alley in the White House.
Lily
Well, Barack Obama put in a basketball court or something like that, too.
Josh
Yeah. And the kicker was that all these other presidents use taxpayer money for it, and Trump is not using taxpayer money.
Andrew
Love that.
Lily
Paying for it. Personally, I'm pro. Continue.
Josh
Not personally. He has some donors.
Andrew
Anonymous donors.
Josh
Not anonymous. Ooh, you ready for these donors?
Andrew
Can we guess? Danny DeVito? Elon Musk?
Josh
I'll just read them.
Lily
OK. Not Israel.
Josh
Google. Oh, Apple.
Andrew
Okay.
Josh
Amazon.
Andrew
Why?
Josh
Meta.
Andrew
All right.
Josh
Microsoft. Lockheed Martin.
Lily
Oh, my gosh.
Andrew
Good people.
Josh
Palantir.
Andrew
Love them.
Josh
Typical T Mobile.
Lily
One of these sponsored by T Mobile. The other.
Andrew
Yeah, it's just like, they just have a branding on the outside of the White House. Just like a neon pink sign brought to you by T Mobile.
Josh
But here's the. Here's the here's where it gets weird. All right.
Andrew
That's already weird.
Josh
That's super weird.
Andrew
That's. It's already started being weird. That's such a weird. Because there are a lot of feuding people in that.
Lily
I see where you're going with this because of this kind of concept about Trump wanting this idea that the. The government's going to be run by billionaires and corporations.
Josh
That's part of it. But it's a 90,000 square foot ballroom that he's building.
Lily
Yeah. That's huge.
Andrew
95,000.
Josh
90,000.
Andrew
90,000. Okay.
Josh
And the estimate at first was it was going to be 200 million, which is a lot.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
Now it's going to be upwards of over 300 million for this 90,000 square foot ballroom.
Lily
That's nuts.
Josh
That is equivalent to paying $3,330 a square foot, which is psycho.
Lily
Like, why?
Josh
Way outside the standard of what you pay per square foot for a building.
Andrew
Sure. So what are they spending so much money on? Why is it so expensive?
Josh
Let me just break this down real quick. So like a standard commercial home, maximum you're going to pay $600 a square foot.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
A high end luxury hotel or whatever. Maximum is twelve hundred dollars a square foot. And then secret government or secure government facilities. Max that you pay for is $1800 a square foot.
Lily
So it's a bunker slash ballroom.
Josh
So they're building it and it's three over $3,000 a square foot. A theory is that they're building an underground database center.
Taylor
Yeah, There you go.
Andrew
That would make sense for all those tech companies.
Josh
Yep. Because this is weird. Okay, so a couple of years ago, this dude named Larry Ellison in Israel built a underground, what I just call it data. Data center that is 160ft below ground, 460,000 square feet. And he paid, or they paid Israel $319 million for this.
Taylor
Wow. There you go. That's gotta be it.
Lily
Highly comparable.
Josh
Said it was 40,000 square feet, 460,000 square feet under Jerusalem.
Andrew
Dear Lord.
Lily
Really?
Taylor
Yeah.
Josh
This. So this bunker or this ballroom is costing about the same as what this data center cost in Jerusalem, but not nearly as big. Well, that's just the surface. Because they're just building a ballroom.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
But what's going to be underneath?
Andrew
Sure.
Lily
And why are all these people interested in investing in it?
Taylor
They would all invest because they don't want to be excluded.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
It's an investment.
Taylor
Yep.
Andrew
That's for later on. Yeah, like that. Oh, my gosh, bro.
Josh
But then you have a privatized corporations are now involved in building aspects of the White House.
Andrew
Yeah.
Taylor
Which, I mean, that's just a building. This is basically them just becoming brazen about what they've been doing all along.
Andrew
Was Bezos in there?
Taylor
Yeah.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
Okay. Got it. Okay. That's wild.
Taylor
I want Zuckerberg.
Josh
Weird, right?
Andrew
Dude, I hate it, man. These. Ah.
Taylor
Dude.
Andrew
Surprised Tick Tock wasn't a sponsor in.
Taylor
2008 when everyone was telling me to get rid of my MySpace and to get a Facebook. I was right. I should have stuck with MySpace.
Lily
You were right.
Josh
Yeah.
Lily
Who made MySpace?
Taylor
Well, either way, they were still Tom the legend. You don't know Tom MySpace. Tom.
Lily
I didn't have a MySpace.
Taylor
No.
Andrew
That's a bummer.
Lily
Do you know how young I am?
Andrew
Yeah.
Taylor
And how old I am.
Josh
Do you know what Tom did after he sold MySpace?
Taylor
I love this so much.
Lily
What do you do?
Josh
Just decided to travel the world and become a photographer.
Lily
Sick. What's he doing now? Let's get him on the pod.
Taylor
That literally that.
Lily
Still traveling.
Taylor
He just travels and posts.
Andrew
It was so cool because literally, like, as soon as you got on MySpace, you had immediately one friend. And it was tomorrow, and it was this picture of him looking over his shoulder in a white shirt, smiling. And everyone's friend was Tom. And so you had immediately a first friend as soon as you got onto this website. Which is so smart.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
Like, just to be like, hey, I'm the owner of the company. Welcome.
Lily
That is way cute.
Andrew
But you could customize your homepage.
Lily
I remember looking at it. My cousin had one and I thought.
Taylor
It was really cool, the amount of, like, people who learned HTML, like, program, because you could actually put that in your own, like, site script. Yeah, yeah.
Josh
There's all these websites where you could get that and, like, have your own. Yeah, yeah.
Taylor
My buddy is now a program. Like, he literally writes code. Yeah, but he writes code. Literally. He had. For a while, he had the idea for how to do his page and he hand wrote it on, like, a ton of sheets of toilet paper. Like, literally had the code written out. But what they did for music was insane. Like the fact that you went to someone's page and it could be just like a local band, but it would play like it was how bands got out there. Yeah. Early days. I freaking loved it.
Josh
Yeah. MySpace.
Andrew
Thomas Mark. Because he's not in the category with all these people here.
Josh
I know.
Andrew
Screwing. I don't know. Screwing up something up. I don't know yet. It is very fishy.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
It's got to be a bunker, it's.
Josh
Got to be a huge something underground because it. There. It. The tunnels do connect to all the important government buildings in D.C. yeah. So where they're digging is the tunnel system.
Andrew
Too smart to do something like just a ballroom? We're not. We can't be that naive.
Lily
Although I will say the ballroom is a good idea, because apparently the capacity for the White House was only like, 50 people or something like that, Right?
Josh
Like, the biggest room could hold, like, 50 people, but this was really 999 people.
Lily
You always think you're like, they're having all these events at the White House. Apparently they weren't.
Andrew
Yeah.
Taylor
Yeah.
Lily
Unless they were having it on the. The lawn or something, right?
Josh
Yeah, I guess.
Andrew
That's interesting.
Josh
That's just what I saw.
Andrew
Well, we gotta. We gotta hook up in the White House. Why don't we go get a tour?
Lily
Yeah, we gotta ask this guy about it.
Josh
The underground bunker.
Lily
What's going on with this bunker? You would know. You would see them digging, right?
Taylor
Well, not if they have that tunnel system. They'd be able to go from.
Josh
Go. Yeah.
Lily
That seems so dangerous.
Andrew
Let me text our guy right now. I'm just gonna ask him. Is it a bunker?
Lily
Is it a bunker? Blink twice.
Josh
But that data center in Jerusalem, I forgot to say the name of it, which is a little eerie. It's called Oracle Data Center.
Lily
Why are we doing all these witchy names?
Taylor
Wait, that's. That's in Israel.
Josh
Yeah.
Taylor
That's interesting that they would use a pagan terminology.
Josh
Oracle.
Taylor
Yeah.
Lily
Why am I not surprised?
Josh
I had a theory this weekend, but I'm afraid to say it.
Andrew
Come on, now.
Taylor
You got it.
Lily
Whisper it.
Andrew
Whisper it to me, and I'll say it with the.
Josh
With the people of Israel.
Taylor
Oh, yeah.
Lily
That was really interesting.
Taylor
Patreon.com.
Lily
Yeah. Yeah, maybe save that one.
Josh
Yeah, I'll talk about on Patreon.
Lily
Yeah.
Andrew
Dang it.
Josh
It's interesting, okay. Because we're at the property for my birthday. Just a couple dudes hanging out, had a blast.
Taylor
Yeah.
Josh
Andy wasn't there. Neither is Andrew.
Andrew
I.
Lily
No real friends.
Andrew
Literally could. Literally couldn't.
Josh
Anyways, we were talking about all this stuff, and I mentioned it. I'm like, whoa. I'm like, that actually sounds legit. And everyone's like, whoa, I never thought about it that way. I'm like, I haven't either. Until right now.
Andrew
Am I a genius? Only on my birth.
Josh
So we'll talk about Patreon.
Lily
Josh has a birthday Persona. I haven't seen it. Come out in so long, though.
Andrew
What's his name?
Lily
You change. I know we need to come up with a name. You help. You've seen it.
Andrew
I mean. Yeah, that's true. I mean, it's kind of like a. I don't know.
Taylor
I don't know that I know this.
Andrew
Frederick almost or Goldberg. Freddie. But it's like his nickname is Freddie, but his real name's Frederick. Because there's something like. It's like a primal type of European. Oh, yeah. I think your roots come out. I think your heritage, like. I think a little bit of, like, Irish, Scottish comes out.
Taylor
Cool.
Josh
Yeah, that's fine.
Andrew
Yeah. Because you always lift up your kilt, and I never. You're never wearing a kilt.
Lily
But, you know, speaking of kilts.
Josh
Real quick. Oh, yeah.
Taylor
Sarah Hastings. Happy birthday.
Lily
Happy birthday.
Josh
Happy birthday.
Lily
Happy birthday.
Taylor
You got a good husband.
Josh
Speaking of husbands, did you guys see that? For the first time in human history that we've been able to observe, there are mosquitoes in Iceland.
Lily
Oh, no.
Taylor
That is the last thing I needed to hear.
Andrew
Oh, I was thinking ice. It's not ice either.
Josh
Iceland. Yeah, it is.
Andrew
It's kind of green. No, it's, like, volcanic.
Josh
No, it's very icy and cold and dark. Like, no trees.
Andrew
Okay. Oh, yeah. Iceland. I was thinking of something else. I'm so sorry.
Josh
I was thinking, like, the Northman.
Lily
What were you thinking about?
Andrew
I don't know. I was. I think it was like. I think I was thinking that Norway type of thing.
Josh
Greenland and Iceland. I was like, oh, well, Greenland's actually super icy, but Iceland's actually super green.
Andrew
Yeah. But then I noticed, remember, just researching about trying to go to Iceland. I'm like, yeah, so of course it's super icy.
Josh
Mosquitoes are there.
Andrew
That's crazy.
Josh
And they're like. Scientists are like, we have no idea how they got here.
Andrew
How they're. How they got there. Also how they're surviving.
Taylor
Yeah.
Andrew
Bill Gates is up to something, dude.
Lily
Don't you think they're gonna take us out?
Josh
We're experiencing that polar shift, dude. That or their switch.
Andrew
Or they're genetically modifying mosquitoes so they can live in any climate. Maybe they're the new cockroach.
Josh
Maybe can't kill them. Freaky, though.
Andrew
Super freaky.
Josh
Which I will say everything's been weird this year. We say every year. But. But if you look at. Because, you know, like, the. The pole shift stuff.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
It affects weather.
Andrew
Ecosystems.
Josh
Ecosystems. And if you look at this year's hurricanes, dude, they are taking that same track. It's Almost like something's just, like, shifting to where it's like, instead, because, like, they're not hitting the US they're all going that same path in the Atlantic.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
And there's that one that's right now. But when this comes out, we don't know how to be devastating.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
For Jamaica, like, today, Jamaica is getting hit by that Cat 5 when we're filming.
Taylor
Yeah.
Andrew
Straight on.
Josh
Straight. It's right over, right now. Bigger than the island. It's. They said the.
Andrew
The eyes bigger than the island.
Josh
No, like the.
Taylor
The.
Josh
The widespread wind from a Cat 5 is miles bigger than the island itself. So it's just Cat five winds just sitting over Jamaica right now.
Andrew
Dear Lord. Dude.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
That's so scary.
Josh
Popped out of nowhere.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
Like the rainstorm last night.
Andrew
Dude. It's wild, man.
Josh
What's going on?
Andrew
I mean, let's not pretend that bugs being modified, that weather manipulation, all this stuff isn't happening. It isn't real. It's been in the books, in courtrooms, documents, CIA, FBI, all this stuff. It's happening.
Josh
Oh, yeah.
Andrew
And so we just don't know what we're going to be reading about in 30 years. Like, oh, yeah. In 2025, they were doing this. They got caught in that, and they had, you know, the documents got declassified later on. It's like we're living in things that we don't even know. We're surrounded by it.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
And it's like, there, if it is being manipulated. You're playing with people's lives, and it's crazy. You're affecting these people's lives beyond, like, oh, that's so wild.
Lily
I had a real moment of panic last night when the. When the rain was that intense. I was thinking about what happened in Asheville.
Andrew
Yeah.
Lily
And then I remembered, I live in Florida. I don't live in the mountains.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
Skip on looking out the window, I'm like, you scared or something? She's like, yeah. I'm like, there's like, we are completely fine.
Lily
I, Like, I was worried we're gonna wash away or like, a mudslide was gonna happen.
Andrew
Yeah. It would take so much for that lake to, like, flood where it would hit your house.
Taylor
Oh, yeah.
Andrew
It would take. So.
Josh
I mean, it'd be like. Be like 100ft of rain. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrew
Big time. The girls were worried last night, too, because I was just like, yeah, there's flooding happening. I was like, I had to tell them, like, but it's not in our. It's not in our area. And it's like, you're. We're good. And it's like.
Taylor
But what.
Andrew
The Hoopers and the Warrens, they live over there too. And Andrew and P. And I was like, they. They are. We're. We're fine. We're good.
Josh
Just show them the video.
Andrew
Yeah. It's super scary stuff.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
That's the tough thing about weather. It's like that you. You can't. There's no protection from that.
Lily
I know.
Andrew
Like that you're just out there.
Taylor
Mm.
Josh
Speaking of super scary stuff.
Andrew
Yeah. Actually, I had something to tell you.
Josh
I haven't updated on an alien probe.

Josh
Oh, send me fast.
Andrew
We have freedom.
Taylor
You Got a. Do you have a vibe on our Airbnb host?
Josh
Oh, super nice lady.
Lily
Dude, Apparently Franklin is like the Beverly Hills of Tennessee.
Taylor
I know.
Andrew
Yeah. It's crazy.
Taylor
You want to send them a message and see what it would take for me to harvest an animal off of their property?
Josh
Not doing that.
Lily
Yeah, you could take that one, Andrew.
Josh
That's all you. How do I get a hold of her?
Andrew
Smoke signal. Yeah. Carry your pigeon.
Taylor
I am. I am going to bring just my recurve because the guys who taught me how to shoot are going to be there. And so they were like, I guess they're bringing their stuff too.
Josh
Oh, cool.
Andrew
But bring your bowling ball too.
Taylor
I got to bring something every time we go. But if we get.
Lily
Because it's funny.
Taylor
I brought a bowling ball because they said we were bowling and I have a ball.
Lily
But we went, but you can't use their balls.
Andrew
But it was in Nashville.
Taylor
It wasn't like, like waited.
Andrew
People don't really know. It was in Nashville when we were going. And so we were taking a trip all the way for a conference. And he was like, the one thing he packed is this bowling.
Taylor
We had a trailer, drop it in.
Andrew
And we didn't even end up bowling.
Taylor
And it was like a hipster diner called a bowling alley.
Andrew
The Pine Grove.
Lily
Oh, yeah, I went there. Pine Grove social or whatever.
Taylor
That's great. Has nothing to do with bowling.
Josh
Oh, you want a bowl? It's like six months out, they get a bucket.
Andrew
Yeah. It is very pretentious. It's a very cool vibe. The place is awesome looking, but the people over there that we encountered, they're just typical hipsters.
Taylor
Yeah. If I go to a bowling alley and it doesn't reek of like old carpet and cigarette smoke, it's not my vibe.
Lily
Bowling alleys are not my vibe, period. But I do want to take the.
Josh
Girls because I love bowling alleys, dude.
Andrew
I was basically raised in one. My mom was a waitress at a place called the Pin and Q, so we just pronounced it Penny Q. And no joke, it was this huge place that had a diner in it. Like a breakfast diner. So good.
Lily
Wow.
Andrew
And then they had an arcade, and then they had a pool, billiard room, and then the whole back rooms were. Bolt was a bowling alley. And so when she was working, we would just play in the arcade and walk around. It was just the coolest thing in the world. And there's like a 15 foot pin outside and it's just that classic, classic, cool little bowling alley. And Whitefish, Montana. Go check it out.
Lily
Do we even have a bowling alley in this area anymore?
Andrew
Oh, yeah.
Josh
Via. Via Port.
Andrew
Via. And then there's one in. Isn't that one in downtown? Near downtown Mondor. Still open?
Taylor
I don't know if that one's still open.
Andrew
No, right behind Walmart.
Josh
No, that one gets shut down.
Andrew
Dang.
Josh
Yeah, bummer.
Andrew
Yeah, Via is pretty fun.
Taylor
There's a dude on TikTok who's like, I bought a bowling alley. And he's, like, trying to bring it back.
Andrew
Oh, yeah, I saw that. He was, like, painted, like, mural.
Taylor
Yeah.
Andrew
Paying guys to do murals on the side and stuff.
Taylor
I hope he. I hope he succeeds.
Andrew
Go support your local bowling alley.
Josh
Yeah, do it.
Lily
Yeah, they're the best.
Andrew
It was such fun memories as a kid.
Lily
That's true.
Josh
Speaking of fun memories, Question corner, question.
Andrew
Corner, question corner with Lily, where the questions are fresh on her mind.
Lily
You took me off guard. I'm ready.
Andrew
Off guard.
Lily
Would you rather. This is a gross one.
Andrew
Doing a lot of would you Rathers lately.
Lily
I like that you guys respond better to. Would you rather.
Andrew
I do love them. I could do a whole pod. I'm telling Josh that we could do a whole podcast on would you Rathers?
Lily
Okay.
Andrew
We just do one and we just debate the heck out of it.
Taylor
Yeah.
Andrew
Find good ones.
Lily
But then you guys won't be true to your opinions because I bet you agree on more than you disagree on.
Josh
You'd be surprised.
Andrew
That's why I literally. I wanted to start a podcast. Would you rather podcast with Alan Thomas? Because I'm like, we never agree on our would you Rathers?
Lily
Really?
Andrew
And it's the best. Whenever we sit down, we just talk about them. We talk for hours about him. It's the best. Oh, he's the best.
Lily
We should start phoning Alan.
Andrew
That would be good.
Lily
Okay. Would you rather a straw. This is gross.
Taylor
All right.
Lily
Be connected to your nose that directly dumps into your mouth. So you eat all your boogers or.
Andrew
Straw from nose to mouth? Yes, constantly.
Lily
Constantly. Any booger that exits your nose goes.
Andrew
Into your mouth, but you don't have any boogers in your nose, then. Like, there's no snot, no boogers or anything.
Lily
Correct. So. So technically, your nose is clear.
Andrew
Where does the straw end? On my tongue or the back of my throat?
Lily
Tongue. You have to taste it.
Andrew
Gross. Okay, second option.
Lily
Or every time you have to go pee, you can only pee in your pants, Not a toilet or any other pee receptacle. You always have to pee in your pants.
Josh
I'll be toast.
Andrew
You Wear a diaper then, right? No, you can't wear diaper.
Lily
You can't wear a diaper. Has to be. Obviously you peed your pants. This be embarrassing.
Josh
You'd have to do a straw.
Andrew
I feel like it.
Josh
Would that be to pee in your pants all the time?
Lily
Yeah. I mean, you don't constantly have to have changes of clothes and you can have a smaller straw, like, pee all the time.
Andrew
Is it. Does it have to be going to be like a small, discreet straw that goes between my mustache, or does it have to be like a silly straw that goes around my head or.
Lily
To me, it can be an invisible straw. The whole point is that you have to eat every booger that you have in your body.
Andrew
I mean, after a while, it's an acquired taste, you know, and you get used to it.
Josh
Little salt bomb.
Lily
Yeah.
Andrew
It actually would probably pair well with a lot of foods. Yeah. You go to some white woman's house and she doesn't have a lot of seasoning on her food. No problem. Susan.
Lily
Booger.
Andrew
I got a booger straw. Squeeze in. Yeah, that's a good one.
Lily
Oh, yeah.
Andrew
I think. I think the straw is the obvious one. I think after the first couple peas, it would be funny. But after. But after that, I mean, the first couple would be hilarious.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
I've always wanted it. Like, I'm saving that day for when I, like, pee on command. Like, pee my pants on purpose when I'm around you, or like we're at, like a hangout or something. And it's truly the funniest thing to do. But after a while, it would just become so annoying.
Lily
What if you pull that card and you're misreading the vibe?
Andrew
That's what I'm saying.
Lily
And everybody's like, it's.
Andrew
It's such a fine line of where it's like, why would you do that? And then you, like, you try to pass it off like, I did it on purpose. And you're like, okay, yeah, but did you, though? Are you good? What's going on? Is everything okay at home? Andy? Oh, man.
Josh
Guys, it was a joke.
Lily
To be such a. There's like a mental barrier I think we all have. You would literally have to peel away this mental barrier just to be able to pee in your pants.
Josh
Oh, I could easily do it. Yeah, for sure. Easily do it.
Andrew
Did you see those would you Rathers I sent on Instagram? No, no, the first one was, would you rather every time you sneeze, you have to yell out at slur.
Lily
Oh, gosh.
Andrew
Or Every time. Oh, gosh. What was it? It was every time. Let me see. I'm sorry. Every time you sneeze, you let out a slur, you have to yell it. Or every time you burp, you have to punch the closest person next to you.
Lily
Oh, no.
Josh
I would do burp.
Andrew
Burp. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lily
Slur. Because I would just hold in my sneezes.
Andrew
Sure. Yeah.
Taylor
Just picturing the slur that you may choose.
Andrew
You could do the pee thing where just, like, you literally just don't drink water until you go home. Get home.
Lily
Yeah.
Andrew
Just be dehydrated.
Josh
It doesn't work for me somehow.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
Like, I will, like, specifically not drink anything when I'm going to travel and still got to pee.
Lily
I'm thinking that Ada's starting to inherit Josh's bladder size because she had to pee, like, 10 times the other day when we went out and she even recognized it. She was like, why do I have to pee so much?
Andrew
It's a hereditary thing.
Josh
Yeah. Andrew. His. Would that be. And just got a real.
Andrew
Got a peace pants.
Josh
Andrew.
Lily
Andrew.
Josh
Andrew.
Andrew
Oh, no.
Josh
That'S p. Our table.
Lily
It's broken.
Taylor
All right, I will confess. Kind of phone this one in a little bit, but I got two. Just say which one you guys want to watch first.
Josh
The yellow.
Andrew
Yellow.
Taylor
All right, I'm gonna have to bleep it, but go ahead and play it.
Lily
Oh, gosh.
Josh
Three, two, one.
Taylor
I didn't realize there's music.
Lily
This is not urine, right?
Taylor
No. Husband made his wife an ice cream. This is grounds for divorce.
Josh
That music will get flagged.
Taylor
Yeah. Yeah.
Andrew
What is it? What is she chewing?
Josh
What is that?
Andrew
Is that raw?
Josh
Oh.
Andrew
My goodness.
Lily
I was gonna say it looks misshapen.
Josh
Yikes.
Andrew
It kind of looked kind of staged, though. I don't know.
Taylor
That's. Yeah, that. That was my hesitancy.
Lily
If Josh handed me a suspect ice cream cone, you think I would just start licking it? I'd be like, what are you doing?
Taylor
Or if you bit something, pull the entire thing out.
Josh
Yeah, yeah.
Lily
It was staged.
Taylor
Yeah.
Josh
All right, ready? Second one. Yep. Three, two, one.
Andrew
Oh, no.
Josh
Oh. Oh, man.
Taylor
Oh.
Andrew
Oh, my goodness. For those of you not watching, just listening, a guy just slurped a whole rotten black banana cut off the top and just.
Taylor
Oh.
Andrew
Oh, man. Why is that so vulgar?
Taylor
Oh, gosh.
Andrew
That is brutal.
Taylor
Pretty bad.
Andrew
Oh, my eyes are watering.
Josh
How did it get to that point? I've never seen a banana that liquidy.
Andrew
Oh, I have.
Taylor
How much for you to do it?
Andrew
Oh, I'm not gonna Say that because then you're gonna show up next week with a freaking banana.
Taylor
Next week?
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
Yeah.
Lily
Oh, you're like, oh, no.
Andrew
Oh, my gosh. I literally thought you had one. I was like, no way.
Taylor
So funny.
Andrew
Golly, dude.
Josh
Speaking about slurping down some rotten bananas.
Andrew
Yeah. What about it?
Josh
G is here. In the past two weeks, three people have died at Disney.
Andrew
Disney's got seen this. Dude.
Lily
What happened, though?
Josh
One of them was by jumping in the.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
What's that?
Andrew
Hotel Self inflicted.
Taylor
Yeah.
Josh
Apparently that's a common place for people.
Lily
To do that very high up.
Josh
And Taylor said my brother, his wife's uncle. So I don't know what that would make for Taylor.
Lily
A uncle in law.
Josh
Uncle in law. Yeah, he was a fireman at the Disney. Like, he was a Disney fireman. Like that.
Lily
Reedy Creek.
Josh
Yeah. And he said it was just the worst where. Because like Disney's. You know, we've talked about before where, like, no one dies. No one's ever died at Disney.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
Because I always bring them off site.
Andrew
Sure.
Josh
And he said it was literally like at the Contemporary and stuff. Like, people would jump and they have like a covering that they keep in the hotel for that scenario where they instantly cover it so people up top can't see anything.
Andrew
Just like a Mickey, like inflatable or something.
Lily
Oh, gosh. How morbid and awful.
Andrew
But there would have to be something.
Josh
There's one where like this lady or dude, I mean, basically they're like their head was gone.
Andrew
Gone.
Josh
And they still had to bring them off or try to resuscitate them when they're clearly just to get a slight pulse back to where they get off. And then they're like, oh, yeah, they're dead.
Lily
That is insane. That is insane, isn't it? Like, that's grounds for suing.
Josh
I know, but now apparently it's come out. Past two weeks, three people have died.
Taylor
Yeah.
Josh
At Disney.
Andrew
At Disney World or Disneyland or both.
Josh
Disney World.
Andrew
Gosh, man. Yeah, the contemporary going on.
Taylor
It's. It's your orange cable touching that power strip.
Andrew
Yeah, I've been here in a little bit. There we go. We got it. We got it, folks.
Taylor
Yep.
Josh
Nice.
Lily
What were the other two?
Taylor
I forget.
Lily
One of them I couldn't find anything on.
Taylor
Yeah, one of them. Nothing's been released. At least last I looked.
Andrew
I imagine they cover that stuff up.
Lily
Oh, yeah, dude. Yeah. There was one when I was working at Epcot. It didn't happen. I was there, but one of my managers told me about it. This guy was like trying to see the fireworks closer and he was climbing up on a rail or something. Impaled by the fence.
Josh
Dang.
Lily
And apparently he didn't die there. Technically he totally did.
Andrew
Disney, I mean, they, they've got everything covered lawyer wise. I mean, just to make sure that none of that stuff comes out. But that's.
Lily
Yeah.
Andrew
You can't ignore those headlines though. Three people.
Lily
What is wild? What I understand is like, why does it matter? People just die of natural things all the time in any random place.
Andrew
Yeah.
Lily
Why did they care so much?
Josh
Yeah.
Taylor
I don't know.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
Headlines, headers, voters, basketball.
Andrew
Yes. Dude, have you heard about this?
Josh
This is crazy. Speaking of everything, all these news headlines are like from a movie.
Andrew
Yeah, man.
Josh
The FBI just did a bus on a ring of NBA players. NBA coaches in the Italian mafia.
Lily
Stop it right now. What do you mean?
Josh
For fixing games.
Andrew
Sports, gambling.
Lily
My gosh.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
Absolutely wild. Chauncey Billups, legends of.
Taylor
This wasn't. I don't want to throw. Actually, I'm not going to guess because I don't want to put that on someone's name who wasn't involved in it.
Andrew
Well, this is all. It's all proven.
Taylor
No, no, no.
Andrew
They're all innocent until proven guilty.
Taylor
I was about to call guest names from memory, but I don't know that I know.
Andrew
Oh, I mean, the thing is, who knows, dude? Who's actually involved in this? Because I think it's. What's his name? I think it's Darren Jones, Terry Rosaire, Rosier, and then Chauncey Billups, which I used to watch Chauncey Billups play for the Nuggets and stuff like that. It was like, these are huge people. So we have coaches and players, former still playing whatever, who got busted. And you're people are going back and looking through all of these games that were super, super weird. I mean, you have guys who. I think Terry Rosier was one of the guys who went out and told people that he would fake an injury so that he. His, you know, his stats would be lower so it would cover the spread and everything like that. And everyone had all the foot thing. Yeah. Just a little, you know, and then faked it, went off and everything like that. But you're even going back to game one of the finals with the, the Cavaliers and I think it was Golden State where, Golly, what is his name? It's a. It was one of the most dangerous moves they get. The guy gets a rebound and it's like seconds left and he runs instead of taking a Shot or going toward and passing it to LeBron. He runs out and holds the ball and lets the time run out. And then LeBron's looking at him like, what are you doing? But guess who the. The assistant coach of that team was at the Cavaliers that time. Darren Jones. The guy who. One of the three guys in the. That's in the fix right now.
Taylor
Shoot, dude.
Andrew
So, dude, this is so much deeper than we know. So much more people are involved. I guarantee it. How could you not? It's wild, dude. I mean, it's crazy.
Josh
With the Italian mafia.
Andrew
Italian mafia, the dudes making, I mean, millions upon millions of dollars a year, and he's doing it for $50,000 of winnings. Like, I don't know if it's.
Josh
I don't know if it's probably because they're in debt somehow.
Andrew
In debt, or you're just. You're addicted to gambling or it's just greed or.
Josh
Sounds like an in debt thing. If it's with the Italian Mafia, yeah.
Lily
It sounds like. Yeah.
Josh
Fix the game.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
All right.
Andrew
Yeah. Do this and you'll live. And you'll get a little money from it.
Josh
I bet your foot's going to hurt tonight.
Andrew
Yeah. What size of shoes you got? I got a good concrete pair. You'll be sleeping with the fishes.
Taylor
Oh, but that's. That's my whole thought, too, is like, say you got involved with them or just became acquainted with them, but then if they really wanted to coerce something out of you, you know, like imagine. Imagine you're playing sports. You've got your families, and then there's like someone. Someone who, you know, has that kind of power, says something cryptic like that to you, and you're like. The whole time you're playing, you're like, were they just like, did I just get threatened? And you know what I mean? Like, yeah, for sure. It's weird. It's enough to make you. And then you'd be off your game.
Josh
Yeah.
Taylor
So people are like, he threw the game. I saw him talking with his dude. But then you're like, actually, I just. I'm not sure if my family just got threatened.
Josh
Austin. Austin told me one of the coaches that got caught, there was some game. Like, someone pulled it up and it was like a big game. Again, I don't really watch basketball. But it was their top two scorers, shooters, whatever you call them.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
And there was like a minute left, and they were losing. Not by a lot, but the coach pulled both of them off, sat him.
Andrew
There's a time where he also didn't call a timeout. When they had one more timeout to call, and it was like, literally right before the end of the game, they had the ball and it's like, what are you doing?
Josh
It's crazy.
Andrew
And it just. Yeah, it's just all.
Josh
They just got caught. You wonder how many, like, how many, like, NFL soccer, you know, like, everywhere.
Lily
Oh, I know, dude. Yeah.
Andrew
That's what I'm saying. Gambling is going to be a huge issue 20 years from now because it's on. Available on your phones now. Kids are doing it. It's going. It's one of the most addictive things out there. It's going to be one of the biggest problems ever.
Josh
Yeah. I see all these kids that were like, gen zers playing blackjack on their phone while shopping.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
Stuff like, I'm just going to do a quick hit. Yep. Oh, that was 400 bucks.
Andrew
Yeah. They're going to be betting on ninjas of butterflies soon.
Taylor
Yeah.
Andrew
Like, how many times do you think Josh is going to say, speaking of speaking of.
Taylor
This episode is brought to you by DraftKings.
Josh
Thanks.
Lily
Nice.
Andrew
Make it less than 10, huh?
Josh
All right.
Andrew
All right. It's real deal, huh?
Josh
Real money.
Andrew
I went through. I went through McDonald's this morning to pick up some breakfast. For breakfast for the girls. I got cash back. I just had a dollar and change back. And she hands me a dollar. I. I don't have it on me, but it's in my. It's in my wallet. It's a. It's two thirds of a dollar. Completely tore.
Lily
Ripped.
Andrew
It's ripped completely. Two thirds of a dollar. And it's like, you can use it if you have the other piece. Yeah, it's a completely impossible dollar. And you had it in the register and she gave it to me. No, because I drove away and, like, I go into the second window, but I'm like, how do you believe me if I say, hey, she gave me this dollar? I was like, it's a dollar, I guess, but it's like, whatever. I should just put in the little charity bin thing. I'm like, it's their problem now.
Lily
The needy people.
Andrew
Yeah.
Taylor
For real.
Andrew
They need it that bad, they'll fix it, dude. I. Funny story. I was replacing some of the doorknobs in our house this weekend, and I was doing the one in our bedroom, and I put in the hardware for, like, the insert. So you have the two door. I put it in and I put the other latch on the actual door for, you know, glues and screws into the trim. And I was testing to make sure it clears.
Taylor
Right.
Josh
Locked in, dude.
Andrew
I locked myself in.
Josh
Did you push it and it fall off or something, or.
Andrew
I just. I literally. I was, like, messing with it with the screwdriver, and I was like. Like, for some reason, it got, like, 10 degrees hotter in there because I was just, like, so sweating, and I was like, kelsey's out of town. Of course this happens. And so I'm literally. I'm just, like, thinking through it, and then I'm like, demi. And then she's like, what? And I was like, I need your help, babe. I said, go get a butter knife. And I was trying to get her just to kind of like. Like, literally just break into this thing.
Taylor
Yeah.
Andrew
And then I was just messing with it a bunch. Luckily, I got it.
Taylor
So funny.
Andrew
Golly, dude. I was like. I was looking on my window. Window doesn't really come up. I would have had to move my whole bed. I was like, this is the worst timing in the world.
Josh
That is so funny.
Andrew
Not so.
Josh
I was watching a video the other day. Videos now spark, like, panic attacks within me.
Lily
Which ones?
Josh
I saw one. It was, you know, those, like, at a. Like, a theme park or something. The swing. Where you sit in, like, a swing and it spins and it goes high or like a carnival or whatever.
Taylor
Okay.
Andrew
Yeah. This one, like, the ones with that are, like, chains, like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hate those.
Josh
This one went up. I think it was 170ft or something.
Andrew
Done this one, dude.
Josh
170Ft in ride stop. And so they're just sitting on a little wood plank with the chains. 170ft in the air.
Lily
They're not strapped in. They're just.
Josh
I mean, they got the little, like, buckle, but not like a. And I'm watching. I'm like, I would. I would freak out, dude.
Andrew
Yeah. Somehow sitting up there is worse than actually spinning around.
Josh
Oh, my God.
Andrew
Dude, I did that. I took some of my youth group kids. I got invited to an event, and it was, like, for his birthday. And we're going and we're up there, and he's just like, can you please go on this one? I really want to go. I'm like, dude, I hate heights. I can't unsecure heights. I can't do. And so he talked me into it, and I said, I have to do it. And so we're up there, and, dude, I am panicking. It's one of those incredibly high ones in Kansas City. I'm freaking out, and I'M screaming, I hate this. I hate this. And he's like. He's like. It's like, I hate my life. I was screaming, I hate my life. I hate my life. And then my buddy David, he's like, don't worry. It's almost over. And I was like, my life. Like, I literally where my life was. I was like, what are you talking about? He's like, no, the ride. I'm like, okay, dude, he was the worst. I hate them, dude.
Josh
No, they're the worst.
Andrew
They're terrible. There's been so many accidents coming out lately with videos of, like, carnival rides breaking and stuff. I saw one where literally, like, it was like, one of those scrambler almost things, and it came loose, and the girl broke her legs or something and got, like, trapped underneath. It's terrible.
Taylor
You know the big one, it's just like you sit in, like, a. Typically, it's a dragon.
Andrew
Yeah.
Taylor
But did you see where it broke off the bottom and it. When it swung up, it was, like, teetering. And so I never. The video never showed if the thing tipped, but, yeah, I don't like it.
Andrew
You love amusement parks, but carnival rides are just a. It's a risk. You gamble, man. 9 out of 10. 9 times out of 10, you're gonna be fine. But it's always scary.
Taylor
It's pretty low odds. 9 out of 10.
Andrew
I mean, sure, I guess.
Josh
But speaking of scary.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
Let's talk about this 3i Atlas again.
Taylor
Dude. Okay, what's going on? Literally not watched any of it because I knew you would be prepping to tell us.
Josh
Here's the thing, though. We're filming now. We were filming two weeks in advance because of the Florida torta.
Taylor
Yeah.
Josh
Now we're filming one week in advance because we're going to Nashville. Larry Khan, which do you want to.
Andrew
Tell our next guests or next couple of guests?
Josh
No. We'll see.
Andrew
Okay.
Josh
Be a surprise.
Lily
All right, can you give me a quick recap on what's the three eye atlas?
Taylor
Sure.
Josh
It is the third observable outer.
Taylor
Or.
Josh
Comet or object that is outside of our solar system that has entered our solar system.
Lily
So, like, when we talking about something that's coming to get us, it's this thing.
Andrew
Yeah. The one that was going around the sun.
Lily
Yeah.
Josh
So the last time this happened was actually in October of 2017, and it was the. It started with an O.
Taylor
I forget what it was called.
Andrew
I can't remember.
Josh
But it was the second one. This one's the third one. They're calling the three I atlas and we've talked about it before of just like so many weird variables about it. Like its size, it's like what it's made out of, its trajectory, how it's going like anti gravity, like it's going against the gravitational pull of stuff. And. But the Harvard professor who's like, he believes there's a probability that is alien technology, he said, because it's about to go around the sun, so we're about to lose sight of it. And he has a theory that it's going to go circle around the sun and then come right to Earth.
Lily
Oh gosh.
Josh
That's his theory.
Andrew
Based on science. Based on.
Josh
I don't, I have no idea.
Lily
Based on a gut feeling.
Josh
I know he's a smart dude. He's like the head of the chair of astronomy at Harvard or something.
Lily
Very cool, very cool.
Josh
But he said, I thought it did.
Taylor
Already come around the sun.
Josh
No, it's entering now. But he said basically. I forget what, he's like Swedish or something. He's like, you should plan your holiday for before October 29th.
Lily
Like on Wednesday.
Taylor
Yeah.
Lily
Oh, what if our holiday is on October 29th?
Josh
He's just basically saying something's gonna happen. But by the time this comes out, we'll all know.
Andrew
Yeah, maybe this doesn't drop.
Josh
Yeah, but what's creepy? This is a creepy thing, which, I don't know. Take it how you want it. That same dude that you've seen it before, the ball guy that like did the. Does the prophecy stuff.
Taylor
Yes.
Andrew
Yeah, he, yeah, like he brings in an alien spirit into his body.
Josh
No, no, this is a different guy. No, this is a Christian guy.
Andrew
Okay.
Josh
I use that because I don't, I don't know. But he predicted like Trump getting shot in the ear like months before that.
Andrew
I think I know what you're talking about. Yeah.
Josh
But he basically had this revelation, this prophecy given to him of a object matching a lot of this same description stuff and then it coming, circling around the sun and then appearing to Earth and he's like. And it's this demonic deception, this alien craft and it's going like hovers above the ocean, it goes from country to country. And I'm just like, come on, man.
Lily
Oh boy.
Andrew
So you think freaking happen? No, no, I mean it would be, I mean it would make sense to have like if they're going to have a plan, it's a long term plan. It's something that they talk about for months. It leads up to it. You've heard about it. I don't really know. I've heard about it, though, you know, and like, it just slowly integrated into our, like, part of our daily talks and lives, and then suddenly it's here.
Josh
But it sounds a lot like what that Jeremy Corbell guy said where he said, the news is going to be talking about this. This object coming towards Earth or whatever, and then they're going to hint that it's alien technology, and then it's going to redirect and come straight towards Earth and that's when they're going to drop this news that it is an alien aircraft. He's like, it's all planned.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
It's like.
Andrew
I mean, it makes sense they're going to do it. I feel like this would be the smartest way to do it.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
Like. Yeah, listen, we. We knew about it, but we didn't think it was alien. There was. It was. We didn't know what it was, but now we know and now we have. We have to band together, guys.
Josh
Yeah.
Taylor
Yeah.
Andrew
We have to listen to our governments.
Josh
There's so many people saying different things about it. It's hard to keep track of, like, what's accurate.
Andrew
Sure.
Josh
But what we do know is that it's super weird, it's super big, and it's just doing all these anomalies that defy or go against the standard comet.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
Like, observable comment.
Andrew
Yeah. Now I want to know because I've only heard about people from America or in America that are talking about this. So I'm wondering if all, you know, we have international scientists that are also looking at this. Astrologers. Yeah, they're looking at it because if it's a worldwide thing, then that's a whole lot less, you know, conspiracy. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Like, it's something that, like, everyone would have to be in on to make this happen.
Taylor
I don't know. But we don't have anything like that in the last four years where everybody got in on something. Yeah.
Josh
Who knows? Oh, man.
Taylor
Yeah.
Josh
But I'm just saying, weird stuff. These next coming weeks. If you see something, know that you heard about first. Ninjas are butterflies.
Andrew
What was that thing that you saw in your yard on your birthday?
Lily
The airplane?
Josh
No, it was a balloon.
Andrew
Oh, got it. I was just like.
Josh
I tried to make it a thing.
Andrew
Yeah. I was like, why?
Lily
Traumatized our daughter, too, Kevin, if you.
Andrew
Didn'T text us too. I was like, why did he just post it to a friend to us?
Josh
I wanted to see what you. If you guys would say anything back.
Taylor
I was gonna Say, that looks like a Mylar balloon, but I didn't know how to spell Mylar, so. Said nothing.
Andrew
I didn't say anything simply because I'm like, oh, if it. If he thought it was legit, he would 100% sent to a. To us.
Josh
Yeah. No, it was just a balloon. Yeah. I literally got me these 233 or balloon.
Andrew
Oh, yeah.
Josh
Three and a three. And I know it's bad to let balloons off.
Lily
Terrible.
Andrew
How else are you supposed to get rid of them?
Josh
That's what I'm saying.
Lily
Pop them.
Josh
Pop them. You can't just do that.
Andrew
It's gas.
Josh
Yeah. You want to put the helium back in the world?
Andrew
I literally released those two butterfly ones this weekend with Zola in the backyard. I was just like, let's just get rid of it. So we just cut it and we just watched him.
Josh
I know, but Josh let go of.
Lily
All of Ada's birthday balloons. The whole time. My heart is pe. Like this.
Andrew
Why?
Lily
It freaks me out. I don't know why. It's bad for animals.
Andrew
I know, but it's so fun for animals. Of all the littering that the government does and all this stuff, you worried about a balloon?
Lily
Dude, I'm a nut about littering. I tell our girls if they litter, I have to go to jail. If they litter, the police will come get me.
Andrew
Yeah.
Lily
And they won't see me again.
Andrew
Look at them. Say, give a hoot, don't pollute.
Josh
But Jane was traumatized. Like, she was going, like, weeping over this bullet. She's like, get it back. I said, but it's going to China. I said, so when they. When it gets to China, I'll call them and I'll ask, can we get her bullying back? She's like, promise.
Andrew
But, yeah, you say that. That's how I got Zola to do it, because she didn't want to give him rid of them. I'm like, let's make a wish. And so she. She had me back up, though. She's like, I want you to hear my wish.
Taylor
Okay, Dude, I got something terrible.
Andrew
Her first wish was that Jesus comes back soon.
Lily
Oh, my God.
Andrew
That was like, I hope so, too.
Josh
Well, Atlas.
Andrew
Yeah, hopefully so good, dude.
Taylor
Sorry to do this. Andy. I know you got a cruise coming up. Yeah, where? Where are you guys again? On cruises. You love them, Hate them.
Andrew
Josh.
Lily
Josh hasn't done EMDR about his cruise yet, so we don't know if they're.
Andrew
Good or bad or if you're ever gonna do one again.
Lily
He's literally still extremely traumatized you and.
Andrew
You and the girls can come along with us.
Lily
Thanks.
Andrew
Yeah.
Lily
I'm not anti. I think it'll be fun. It was hard when we had the Littles because they couldn't do anything, but now they're bigger, so.
Taylor
Paige loves Disney. I'm sure a Disney cruise is something that she would enjoy. But finding out this fact maybe, like, never want to do. So you know, they're in floors, and if you've ever been, like, in a building, when an evacuation happens, it can be, like, chaos. Like, people trample each other. So I didn't know this is true. But apparently the lower floors, if the evacuation order is bad enough, they have tech on these things where they systemically lock the doors so the lower decks cannot overrun in crowds. So evacuation can happen safely floor by floor.
Josh
Oh, my God.
Taylor
Is that not the sketchiest thing you've ever heard?
Andrew
What if the tech wears out or, like, glitches out while it's crashing? Yeah, like, and it doesn't. You can't turn them back on.
Lily
Thanks, Andrew. We're never going on a cruise again.
Andrew
Hey, just get a balcony. Balcony door, and then bring some inflatables.
Lily
I will say we were.
Taylor
We.
Lily
Ryan Trahan made another video recently, and you have to watch it because he's on your ship.
Andrew
I think the biggest. Yeah.
Lily
Are you going on the Icon or the Utopia?
Andrew
Utopia.
Lily
Yeah. Okay. Well, they're similar, I think, but he did the rooms, and I looked up, and the. If you're going with a family of four, it's not insanely different to do one of the nicer rooms.
Andrew
Yeah.
Lily
And I'm like, we could do that. I'm not really a cruiser either. You guys are going to have a blast.
Andrew
But get a travel agent. That's what I'm saying. We booked through a travel agent. Didn't cost us anything, and it made it so easy.
Lily
Awesome.
Andrew
We just say, hey, these are kind of like the areas the days we want to go.
Lily
Yeah.
Andrew
And there was, like, a million options, and then incredibly affordable. Like, I tell the deals to people that go on cruises, and they're like, yeah, that's amazing. I'm like, okay, good.
Lily
I actually just had, like, a revelation, and I have to share this with you because I'm a real freak. You guys are late to a lot of things.
Andrew
Sure.
Lily
Do not get late going back on a cruise ship. You will be locked out.
Andrew
You know, I've told them. I'm like, we are not going to be on one of those because you, like. Yeah, you See videos where they get on the dock.
Josh
They will leave you.
Andrew
You just have to fly back. But I'm like, how do you do that when your passport's not with you?
Josh
I know you're supposed to bring your passport.
Lily
Take your passport with you when you get off the boat.
Andrew
Good.
Lily
But. But also, you guys are a very vibes centric family.
Andrew
Yeah.
Lily
So you're going to be like, we're having a ball.
Andrew
Yeah.
Lily
You're going to be distracted by.
Andrew
No, I. I will be the one that's like checking. Yep. But we're only going to get off on one. There's two ports. We're only going to get off one because everyone gets off. Most people get off and it's like, that's when the water slides are most open. The pools are less busy. I'm like, let's do that.
Lily
Which one are you getting off on?
Andrew
I can't remember. I get. There's one with their.
Josh
Their island.
Taylor
Right.
Andrew
I think their island. We're getting off because.
Taylor
Sick.
Andrew
Yeah. The other ones that. It's like, you have to like, taxi a lot of places too, and stuff. I'm like, yeah, no, thank you.
Taylor
Taxi.
Lily
Yeah. Cococay is the foe shizzle. Dude.
Andrew
I can't wait. We're gonna. I'm gonna eat like a monster.
Taylor
Dude.
Josh
Speaking of monsters, I got a monster story.
Taylor
We got a Cryptid story. It's been a minute.
Josh
Almost.
Taylor
Almost. Okay.
Josh
Shapeshifter story.
Taylor
That counts.
Andrew
Shape shifter.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
Is it different than a skinwalker?
Josh
Basically the same thing. Okay. Yeah.
Andrew
All right.
Josh
We'll call a skinwalker story.
Taylor
Sure.
Josh
Shape shifting. Skinwalker story. It has to be. And it's in Florida.
Taylor
Oh, same.
Josh
Yeah. Shapeshifter in Florida. Shout out to this Instagram. Florida folk history. It's awesome. Where I first saw it, the man named Uncle Monday.
Andrew
Uncle Monday.
Josh
Uncle Monday.
Andrew
Great name.
Josh
But he was apparently this legendary conjure man way back in the day when there was like slaves and stuff in the United States and he was captured in Africa. He was enslaved in South Carolina and he escaped to Florida and joined the Seminole tribe in Florida.
Andrew
No way. This is a movie, bro. That sounds awesome.
Josh
But he was a active practicer of. This is a new thing that I learned. It's called hoodoo.
Andrew
Hoodoo.
Josh
Not voodoo. Hoodoo.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
And it's very ritualistic stuff. Basically it's a combination of the American south, like Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, or that's where it all was. But it's a combination of African herbal medicine, Bible verses, and European folk magic.
Taylor
Weird.
Lily
Wow.
Taylor
Not a Great.
Andrew
That's the unholy trinity.
Taylor
Yeah.
Josh
Right. But this guy, he came from Africa, and apparently he was this, like, witch doctor Hoodoo.
Taylor
Witch.
Josh
Was that funny?
Andrew
It's. Right. It's. I just got a notification. It's starting to rain soon again. Chemtrails are coming, baby.
Josh
Rain. But he apparently was able to communicate and, like, talk to crocodiles when he was in Africa.
Lily
Wow.
Josh
And so he. He fled to Florida, joined the Seminole tribe, and they taught him their local magic of communicating with alligators. And legend has it that he was so good at harnessing these entities, these spirits, that he would literally transform into an alligator. And so there was, like, this ceremony that they did, and they would dance the drums, and then while they're doing it, like, it said his leg shortened, his skin turned to scales, and his voice thundered. Alligators rose from the swamp to greet their new king. So they call him Uncle Monday, king over the alligators.
Andrew
So these alligators would just come out and worship him.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
What in the world?
Josh
So apparently I'll just read some of this. Uncle Monday could shift between man and gator at will. He taught his way to a woman named Judy Bronson, who claimed her power rivaled his. One day, she went fishing at Blue Sink, his sacred domain. Despite the warnings, as soon as her line hit the water, a force pulled her in. She froze, trapped between the dark and deep. Then Uncle Monday walked across the water in flowing robes with an army of alligators behind him. He told her. He told her he'd only release her if she admitted his powers were greater. And then it says that she finally, like, said, yes, your powers are greater.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
And he said basically, he was. So he hated the white man, obviously, at that time.
Andrew
Sure.
Josh
And he said, I will never be captured or killed by a white man, so I'm going to become a gator until all the. The violence between the white men stops. So legend has it he's still out there. Uncle Monday is still a gator somewhere in the swamps in Florida.
Andrew
Oh, goodness, dude.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
That's a fun story. That's a terrifying story.
Josh
Yeah. But it was a huge folklore, even, like, within the Native American tribes, like, this African man could literally transform into an alligator, and he controlled all the gators like he was the king of alligators.
Taylor
That's.
Josh
And you hear that and you're like, all right, this definitely sounds like some folklore stuff.
Taylor
Sure.
Josh
But I was talking to Taylor about it because Taylor used to live in Zambia, and one of his best buddies in Zambia, Mazinga is his name.
Andrew
Okay.
Josh
And Taylor has some crazy stories about some witch doctors in Zambia.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
But Mazinga was telling Taylor he knew of this witch doctor in his village who would literally transform into a lion and kill his enemies. And they're like, okay, yeah. And he's like, fazing is like, no, I watched him in front of me turn into a lion and go off and kill people, dude. So it is a real practice. Yeah, that happens in Africa or at least it's told it happens.
Andrew
I mean just imagine seeing that.
Josh
I know, yeah.
Andrew
Like we truly think it is a fantasy, you know, like idea that like that even happens. Something in cinema that happens, you know, but like that's, that's true.
Josh
I mean we talked about skinwalker stories. Like every culture around the world, it just all connects with this certain type of evil where they could literally harness. But a lot of the hoodoo stuff.
Andrew
Yeah.
Josh
It has a lot to do with root cuttings and if we know anything about. We'll talk about root cuttings.
Andrew
Sure.
Josh
Pharmakeya. It's the watchers. The watchers.
Lily
This story is interesting too. Did Taylor specifically see this or did somebody that Taylor knew saw it? Where the. The witch doctor was walking to the woods.
Josh
I think that was also. Also. Or that was somebody else. Yeah, yeah.
Lily
And slithered into the woods.
Josh
Yeah, but that wasn't in Zambia, I don't think. I think that was like in the Congo.
Lily
Oh, okay.
Taylor
Yeah, sorry, I'm add. Finish. Sorry.
Lily
Well, no, I was going to segue, so you go ahead.
Taylor
Do you know where he was based? Uncle Monday?
Josh
It was like Eatonville or something.
Taylor
No, where literally. I looked it up and I thought Chat GPT knew where I was. It literally says Uncle Monday's home. Her final transform site was right near Lake Dora in Lake County. Old storytellers say he fled into the swamps between Lake Dora, Lake Eustis and Lake Beauclair.
Andrew
What?
Taylor
It's here.
Andrew
That's the let's. Right there, 100 yards away.
Lily
You know they had that tribute to the gator downtown.
Andrew
Old Joe Joe.
Taylor
Yeah.
Lily
I wonder if it's like a similar thing. There's also a gator that's in there. That is humongous. The gators in Lake Dorsey are protected. You can't get them. They're.
Andrew
Why are they protected?
Taylor
They're not protected. Everyone.
Josh
Uncle Monday.
Andrew
Uncle Monday's protecting them.
Lily
There's. There's an alligator that is an absolute monster at Lake Dora and he's missing an arm. He's a three legged gator.
Andrew
Can you read further that Uncle Monday was missing an arm from the slave days.
Lily
Interesting.
Andrew
Could you imagine?
Lily
Crazy. Wow, Andrew. What a cool. What a cool dude.
Andrew
Good one.
Josh
Oh, man, I didn't see that when.
Taylor
I was reading that. That's legit. I pro. I promise.
Andrew
My gosh, what a fun story.
Taylor
Lake Dora is considered Uncle Monday swamp, his sacred ground in the place where he is still said to rise when thunder rolls across the water.
Andrew
Dude, guys, for those of you watching, we are literally on Lake Dora right now.
Josh
If you were to walk out of this door, you could see less than a block away.
Lily
That's why.
Josh
Crazy.
Andrew
Awesome.
Lily
That's why I always say everybody's. I would never in my life swim in Lake Dora. Not only is it riddled with alligators, it's also heavily polluted.
Andrew
The sandbar is cool, though.
Lily
Sandbar's sick. I actually have swam at the sandbar.
Andrew
Sandbar is pretty cool.
Lily
What I was going to say is, you were saying it's associated with this evil, this transformation, the skinwalker stuff. Which is true. It is associated with evil, but also God transformed Nebuchadnezzar into a beast. And we just did that study.
Taylor
Possibly.
Josh
I think he did get.
Taylor
I mean, it.
Lily
You think it's a metaphor or beast.
Josh
He's, like, driven crazy or something.
Taylor
I mean, can't definitively know. I think both narratives fit, but it's interesting. I'll give it that.
Andrew
Is there any other similarities in the Bible like that? Like, skinwalker transformation?
Taylor
John the Baptist. We figured that one out.
Josh
Camel here.
Taylor
Yep.
Josh
Just turn into a camel.
Taylor
That's how he survived.
Andrew
That'd be dope.
Lily
In the Nebuchadnezzar story, it talks about how he transformed into an animal for seven seasons.
Andrew
Yeah.
Lily
Or seven periods of time. And then, like, he couldn't distinguish, like, the dew on his back and stuff like that, until one day his eyes were meant to see, and then he was transformed back.
Taylor
So he. Yeah. I need to go back and, like, really, really read that, because that is interesting.
Josh
Yeah.
Lily
And I didn't talk about skinwalkers once in my BSF study.
Andrew
You got to let loose.
Lily
No, I don't want to ruin it for all these other ladies.
Taylor
Question. Do you believe it's true?
Lily
I believe that really happened. Yeah.
Taylor
Then you would be enlightening, not ruining.
Lily
Yeah, I know.
Andrew
That's my thing. It's like, people say Jonah is. You know, that you can't take that literally. But it's like, who are we to say? Because the Bible has no problem saying, like, hey, this is a poem. This is a fable. This is a parable.
Lily
Well, and then, like.
Andrew
Like, if we could take it. If it's taken literally, then it's like, this is a crazy thing that happened in the Bible.
Lily
What is the passage when Jesus was talking about. They're like, what is your next miracle, Lord?
Josh
And he said, the next miracle sign of Jonah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But people say that Jonah was alive. He was definitely dead in the fish.
Lily
Yeah. And was revived.
Andrew
He prayed in the belly of the whale.
Josh
No, it said he was in Sheol. Prayed in Sheol?
Andrew
Is that what it says?
Josh
Yeah.
Lily
I don't know our Bibles, everybody.
Andrew
I mean, let's do it. Let's pull it out. Because I don't remember this.
Josh
Which would make more sense for the prophecy of Christ. Right. Because Christ died.
Andrew
Well, I think he just said. He's like. Just like Jonah was in the belly of a fish for three days. I will be in the belly of the earth. Yeah, but look it up.
Josh
He was in. It says, Sheol.
Taylor
They also. They also taught that the spirit didn't depart the body for three days. So in their traditions, he would have still been with his body in the belly for three days. That's the significance of Jesus being in the. In the tomb for that period of time. Oh, yeah. We can do a little reading. I can cut this section out also.
Josh
What you need to cut out is Andy dropping my history address.
Taylor
Did he.
Andrew
Oh, I said Lake Joanna Lake, belly of the fish for three days and three nights. Then Jonah prayed to the Lord, his God, from the belly of the fish, saying, he answered me out of the belly of Sheol, I cried and heard my voice for you cast me into the deep. And so he says his prayer, but doesn't mean he's actually in.
Josh
It says, from the belly of Sheol, Abraham's bosom.
Taylor
So is he like. Like, that's a question then that I don't know. That we'll know is if I'm like, I'm in hell right now. Am I in hell or.
Andrew
Yeah, like, I mean, if you're in the belly of fish, he doesn't know he's gonna be puked out of this fish.
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
So in his mind, if he's surviving, then he's praying and saying, yeah, you know, I'm.
Josh
Either way.
Taylor
Yeah.
Andrew
I mean, like. Yeah, that's the thing. It doesn't really matter, but it is very interesting. I like that.
Josh
You know what? I like that.
Andrew
I'm into that.
Taylor
Yeah.
Josh
So that's. That's. That the world is crazy.
Lily
What were you going to Say about evil Watchers, were you going to segue into something?
Andrew
Oh, we're just talking about skinwalkers and.
Josh
I just thought it was crazy how they really specify of like how they do all the like root cuttings and speaking with the spirits through it. But they don't. They don't worship anything. That's the thing. That's the difference between voodoo and hoodoo. Voodoo actually worships like a God or entities or gods, whatever. But hoodoo, they just do the actual practice of magic without worshiping or like. It's not like a religion in a way though.
Lily
Are they worshiping like the earth?
Josh
Not necessarily. I mean. I mean, I don't know.
Lily
Yeah, it's interesting.
Josh
It's just like. It's almost like pass down ceremonial magic that they do.
Lily
Wow.
Josh
That they can achieve stuff like have good luck or to them it's.
Taylor
To them it's like a science.
Josh
Yeah. Crazy stuff.
Andrew
Yeah. Makes you wonder, man. And there's like such like all this witch stuff on TikTok, like, where people like literally just embrace it and like talk about it and like condone it. Bad stuff and like, what. So, like, what are you stuff you guys getting into? Which things? And it's like, what are we doing?
Lily
Yeah.
Josh
Don't they know that they sub burn them?
Lily
Yeah.
Andrew
Better be careful, ladies.
Taylor
You don't know you.
Josh
We might get back to that.
Andrew
Yeah. What happened to wizards as well? If we're gonna have witches, why can't we have dudes that are just committed to being wizards? Like, where's the guys that are just like, giving up, quitting their jobs, living in the woods, growing out their beards with a pointy, Walking around with pointy hats and cloaks?
Josh
Yeah.
Andrew
Like, yeah, I won't be. I won't be for it, but at least I want to see some representation from the male community.
Josh
Yeah.
Lily
I saw a hilarious video the other day that I was talking about. It's this couple that does like historical skits. So like historical fiction skits that they make up. And one of them is, they went to like another hearing at. For like one of the witch trials. It was like 1600s Massachusetts. And she's like, should I just speak up so that everybody can stop inviting me to these things? Should I just say that I'm a witch? I'm not, but I'm tired of going to these freaking events. Just burn me next.
Josh
That was so funny.
Andrew
Who's the guy that plays Gabe off of Zach Woods? Zach Woods. Have you seen him with Rick Glassman? Talk about the Blair Witch trials.
Taylor
Yeah.
Andrew
So freaking fun. It was my favorite clips of all time.
Josh
You know what's my favorite clip of all time?
Andrew
What?
Josh

Taylor
Yeah.
Josh
Okay.
Taylor
I'm looking forward to that.
Josh
It's. It's like, you know when you, you say something like while you're like asleep and you wake up and like, oh, that's such a good idea. And the longer you stay awake, you're like, that's a terrible idea.
Andrew
The dumbest.
Josh
It might be that.
Andrew
So I've done that where I come up with a video idea and I write it down in my notes and then I wake up the next day, I'm like, what?
