[42:02-47:44]

I did not discover that until, like, two or three years ago.

[Andy]

Oh, bummer.

[Hardy]

My wife showed me that. That vine, and I was like, yeah, I remember that.

[Andy]

And then I googled that kid.

[Hardy]

I was like, where is he now? It was like, so and so, you know, from Louisville, Mississippi. Oh, my God.

[Andy]

Was the road working ahead?

[Andrew]

Bring it back to.

[Josh]

Yeah, I think you just spin it off.

[Andy]

Artie's never used a mic before.

[Hardy]

This is my first.

[Andrew]

Oh, no, it's me.

[Andy]

I can never figure them out. I just found out how you extend them today.

[Andrew]

Yep.

[Andy]

I've never known how you did that.

The old two footer.

[Andy]

Old two footer.

[Hardy]

Oh, that's good.

[Andrew]

Hey, there we go. We can hear each other.

[Hardy]

Do you guys have. Is this the red one? Always the guest mic.

[Josh]

It is now.

[Hardy]

It's like Kill Tony. It is.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

I've been on a big Kill Tony kick recently, dude.

[Andy]

I don't know why they haven't had you on. You would kill on there. That'd be so as a guest. Oh, yeah. As a panel.

[Hardy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would love to imagine you just.

[Andy]

Doing the 60 seconds of people like, wait, is this. That's hardy, right?

[Hardy]

I've actually daydreamed about that. I swear to God, like, going by a different name and walking out. Because we have, like, we have a. Every year we have a comedy night.

[Andy]

Oh, no way.

[Hardy]

On tour. And this past year, we did it and it killed. And I was so proud of my crew because so many people did really good. And, like, I laughed. Like, so many people. Like, I would say three or four of of my crew guys out of like the maybe 20 people that got up, had real jokes that they had written that were way better than 80% of the people on Kill Tony. You know what I mean? I was like, you guys would have actually made people laugh.

[Andy]

Yeah, that's. It's such a fascinating show.

[Hardy]

It's.

[Andy]

It's so fun.

[Hardy]

Yes. And it's. It's. To me, it's like comedy is like one of those things. It's like music. It'll never go away.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

So, like, I feel like as. As long as Tony wants to do that show, it'll just, you know, new comics will be coming and just be a thing.

[Andy]

It blows my mind that like. Like, we just haven't. Like, there just hasn't as humans haven't, like, just run out of jokes or songs.

[Josh]

Dude, I've been thinking.

[Andy]

It blows my mind.

[Josh]

You think about that.

[Hardy]

We're getting there with songs.

[Andrew]

Dude.

[Hardy]

It's getting hard.

[Josh]

It's time to get 50 years ago songs. No, I think about that with like, sports too.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Like moment dream sports, like skateboarding, surfing.

[Andy]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh]

Just doing new stuff all the time.

[Hardy]

Like tricks.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

Oh, they're just making new tricks.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Josh]

It's like, how can you keep making new Tricks.

[Andrew]

You see that Asian chick? There's like a. I guess it's still the X Games, but she did some flip and they did a big spin out of like a grind. And I was like, since when have 10 year olds been doing this?

[Josh]

It's.

[Andrew]

They.

[Josh]

There's that consciousness, that shared consciousness where they say it's like you keep progressing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Andy]

I mean, even drone racing.

[Hardy]

Oh, yeah.

[Andy]

Not just regular drone. Remote control. One person flying drones, quadcopters that we don't even see like in real life. Like, I've never seen one.

[Josh]

Like a person's in it.

[Andy]

A person's in it and there's like four propellers and they're doing actual sport racing now.

[Hardy]

Maybe the Iridosa Cletus guy is.

[Andy]

He's behind it. He's behind it. Oh, man. Ladies and gentlemen, Hardy's Fan. Golly.

[Josh]

Like basically a year today.

[Hardy]

Yeah, it was really close.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

I think. I think it's. We're two days off. Maybe. Maybe. But we're within. It's crazy. Yes.

[Andrew]

That's close enough to lie to the audience. We could have 100.

[Andy]

It's the same. It's a year to the year, to the day.

[Hardy]

We'll make it a yearly thing.

[Josh]

Let's do it. Since then you've had a kid, right?

[Hardy]

Yes, dude.

[Andrew]

Ken Grass.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

And I notice it's.

[Josh]

It's.

[Hardy]

It was all girls in here, right? I got a little girl.

[Andy]

It's the best.

[Hardy]

It's the best thing in the world. I don't Even this. Well, I don't. I would never say. I don't want. I can't imagine having a son. It's like girls are meant to be babies.

[Andy]

Or.

[Hardy]

Or babies are meant to be girls.

[Andrew]

Yes.

[Andy]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Hardy]

In the weirdest way. And of course I would love to have a son, but it's just so perfect to be. It's a little baby and it's a girl. Like, there's just something about it.

[Josh]

Well, Andrew's having a boy here. Coming soon.

[Hardy]

Congratulations. Very cool. Sorry I just said that.

[Andrew]

Mr. Noah voice is my favorite.

[Hardy]

It's great. And she. Dude, we. We. Everybody's like, that's a trap baby. Because we. She has been. She's perfectly healthy. Delivery was a 9 out of 10 of like perfect. You know what I mean? She's. She has her little sleep regression things that she's done, but she sleeps through the night. We've hardly ever. We're not tired. I mean, like.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

And we don't have. We don't have. We haven't done. We don't have a nanny. We don't. We. We did, like, every now and then. Would have a night nurse. If we were, like, those first couple of weeks, we'd have somebody come for, like, a night, and so we could get a night's sleep or whatever.

[Andy]

Sure.

[Hardy]

But we. We're just completely doing it, you know, the. Just. Just being parents.

[Andrew]

And.

[Hardy]

And she has made it very easy.

[Josh]

That's awesome.

[Andy]

So that we're super lucky. So that second kid's gonna be a right hook everybody. Dude.

[Hardy]

That's right. And I'm like, God, test my patience now. So the second kid, does it get all the trauma, you know?

[Andy]

So choosing a baby is an actual choice, you know? Like, it's like, you're like, you know, I really want this baby. Even though it's gonna be tough. I know it is.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Now it's like, you're like, oh, it's perfect. Why wouldn't we have a second one?

[Hardy]

Yeah.

[Andy]

And then it's just, like, hanging around the corner.

[Josh]

Yeah. Speaking of hanging around the corner.

[Andy]

Sure. What's up?

[Josh]

Hardy, I don't know if you are into music at all, but we. We dabble.

[Andy]

Okay. Are you aware of music?

[Andy]

Hardy. Help.

[Josh]

All right, all right.

[Andy]

Here we go.

[Andrew]

We'll just.

[Josh]

We'll come up with some. Do you have a genre in mind that you want. Just come up with something real quick.

[Andy]

Just.

[Hardy]

Just do your thing.

[Andrew]

Good.

[Hardy]

All right. All right.

[Josh]

Do your thing.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Come with something?

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Let's see.

[Andy]

Gaelic? South African. Yeah. There we go.

[Andrew]

I like that.

[Hardy]

My wife's an alien I guess she's.

[Josh]

Always been a little strange and green.

[Hardy]

Been afraid to be seen Then comes the CIA they take her away then start to question me about all the things that I've seen Tell us the truth about your wife, or you'll go.

[Josh]

To prison for the rest of your life.

[Andy]

I already know her, son.

[Hardy]

She's practically a stranger she's holding me against my will she broke my brain.

[Andy]

With a drill Hardy know her, sir. Yes, I Hardy know her. Hardy know her, sir, please let me go. I Hardy know her. Hardy no hurt.

[Hardy]

Was that the new MGK or.

[Andy]

Yeah, that was.

[Hardy]

Dude, that was extremely impressive.

[Josh]

Hey, thank you.

[Hardy]

That was so much Better than the last time.

[Andy]

That's great to hear because there was.

[Hardy]

A lot of phrasing and things, and you guys nailed, like, the entire thing. That was so good.

[Andy]

I'm so glad you think so, man.

[Hardy]

I'm not gonna lie. Like, the first, like, three or four, like, lines in that first verse, I was like, dang, that's pretty good.

[Josh]

Andy wrote it today.

[Andy]

Dude.

[Hardy]

That's pretty good.

[Andy]

I wrote that today. But we wrote the last year's song in less than 30 minutes, and we were singing that practice. Me and Andrew were practicing it out loud. Josh was in the bathroom, and he texted us, it needs to be funnier. He's literally right down the road. We can't change it.

[Andrew]

That's.

[Hardy]

You know what's funny about that is, like, actual songwriting. Like, there's times where I'm like, I gotta go take a dump. And we're on the second verse. It's like, you know, and I'm in the bathroom and. Or whoever it may be, and you're just getting blown up. Like, what if it was like, blah, blah, blah, blah, and they're just across the hall?

[Andy]

It's like, don't do that. There's better ways to communicate.

[Hardy]

You never know where inspiration strikes. But that was really good.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

Really? That's so funny, because I was gonna jokingly say, like, shoegate, do shoegaze chords, and that was, like, exactly what you did.

[Andrew]

I'm throwing through an emo, kid. When did emo become shoegaze? I'm still confused.

[Josh]

I don't know what shoe gaze is.

[Andy]

That's just like. Like, the dep and staring down. Shoe gaze.

[Hardy]

It comes from, like. Like, it comes from. It comes from stepping on a cord and banging your face on a microphone. But, like, when guitar players, they play like this. They're gazing at their shoes. Smashing Pumpkins, I feel like, is like, one of the first popularized the. The genre of shoe gaze.

[Andrew]

Favorite genre by posture has to be crab core.

[Hardy]

Oh, yeah. Attack. Attack. The adventures, dude.

[Andrew]

Yeah, dude, Dude.

[Andy]

You don't know about crab attack, dude. Josh is shaking his head over here. What'd I say?

[Andrew]

And crab cores.

[Andy]

Oh, yeah. I just put them together. You don't know what. Crab attack, dude.

[Andrew]

Next year. That's the song. Crab attack.

[Andy]

Crab attack.

[Hardy]

When they play, like, heavy breakdowns and.

[Andrew]

They, like, they're squatting, dude, they walk.

[Andy]

Sideways across the stage. I mean, really?

[Andrew]

Really? Yeah.

[Hardy]

And then once it became a thing, it was like they embraced it, and it was like, okay, we're going to really do the crab Thing now.

[Andy]

So, like, when.

[Andrew]

When the V neck, like, drop over the shoulder, look like an 80s, like, glam model.

[Andy]

Yeah. And get boiled alive.

[Josh]

Crap attack.

[Andy]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Hardy]

Dude, that's the encore. It's like, I'll just jump in a giant boiler and die.

[Andrew]

Yeah. That's got to be a music video. Someone make that with AI that is so fun.

[Josh]

But everyone just be quiet for a second, okay?

[Andy]

You talking about Uber? Hardy's here, dude.

[Josh]

I know he's here.

[Andrew]

We're kind of rolling.

[Andy]

It's Hardy. This sequel.

[Josh]

Stop.

[Andrew]

Always Josh's way.

[Josh]

This has been fun.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

And I hope it can continue to be fun, dependent upon you, not me. Mandy.

[Andy]

Oh, no.

[Andrew]

Is this time for the question?

[Josh]

It's time for the question. We're obligated to this. The millions and millions of people that watch us, they're like, you have to do this. You have to ask these hard things.

[Andy]

Hundreds of millions.

[Josh]

I hate doing this, but we have to do this, Hardy. I'm sorry. We have to do this and move on.

[Andrew]

Okay?

[Andy]

Please take it seriously.

[Hardy]

Okay.

[Andrew]

If you could.

[Andy]

Come on.

[Andrew]

It's not.

[Josh]

Yeah. Today's question sent in by a viewer, too. Hardy.

[Hardy]

Weird.

[Josh]

It's random how these lists of questions just so happen to be for Hardy.

[Andy]

And they're all automatically generated.

[Josh]

Yes.

[Andy]

And it happens to fall on Hardee's.

[Josh]

Hundreds of thousands of people sending questions in this one today just so happened to be for Hardy. Cardi. Is this the greatest country in the world? Absolutely. And this is the greatest country in the world.

[Hardy]

The United States of America.

No.

[Josh]

Okay.

[Josh]

Hardy.

[Hardy]

He should. Fair. Okay?

[Josh]

Rightfully so.

[Hardy]

My glasses. I haven't gotten new. I haven't gotten my eyes checked in a couple years. Apparently, the same color as the American flag, and there's a star on it.

[Andrew]

Are you visiting North Korea with the United States of America?

[Andy]

Oh, yeah. They're the same. I think they're great.

[Andrew]

There is only one red one.

[Josh]

I think that's what he said.

[Andy]

Verb. Verbatim. That's what he said.

[Josh]

He said, oh, North Korea, us. They're the same and they're the best.

[Andy]

Kim Jong Un.

[Josh]

That's. I think that's exactly what he did.

[Andy]

Yes.

[Andrew]

Go back.

[Andy]

Go back. I think that's.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Well, already just committed treason.

[Josh]

I think so. I think so. Well, I guess you guys heard it here first.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Josh]

We can.

[Andy]

We can move on.

[Hardy]

We can move on. North Korea is the greatest country in the world. I come all the way out here.

[Andy]

Welcome to the show.

[Josh]

Did I say ninja?

[Andrew]

I meant butterfly.

[Hardy]

The butterfly is, no doubt, one of God's most beautiful.

[Andy]

Has to empty your mind. You were martial arts.

[Andrew]

Sorry, can you move that cable real quick?

[Hardy]

Which one?

[Andrew]

The red one?

[Hardy]

Yes.

[Andrew]

No, I just wanted a clip of him bowing so I can back and.

[Andy]

Forth.

[Josh]

His crab walk.

[Hardy]

Dude. I actually also taste a little bit of blood from when I, like, banged my microphone.

[Andy]

That's why I'd be like, that was pretty hard. Real jerk.

[Josh]

Dang.

[Hardy]

Chalk that up for embarrassing moments. Keep that, though, dude. Yeah, you cannot take that.

[Andy]

Keep that in.

[Andrew]

I'll just put that punch sound on it.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

The Call of Duty hit marker.

[Hardy]

That's a good one, Hardy.

[Josh]

Last time you're on, you had a crazy story. Yeah, nothing like that's happened since.

[Hardy]

No, not even close.

[Josh]

That's good.

[Hardy]

Yeah. I live just in a straight up suburban house built in 2016, baby.

[Josh]

Just wait, though.

[Andy]

Speaking of that, can we actually get the ancient arrowheads that we found in the river today? And give. Darty.

[Hardy]

Yeah, just.

[Josh]

We know it's really creepy.

[Hardy]

I should have brought mine. You know what? I should have.

[Josh]

Should.

[Hardy]

And I still have the ones. We should have brought those.

[Andy]

No, we shouldn't have our children.

[Hardy]

Put them in your pillowcase tonight.

[Josh]

So we're in Franklin, Tennessee, in this cabin in the woods.

[Andrew]

In the woods.

[Andy]

It's beautiful.

[Josh]

My daughter, the littlest one that you saw, she. The first day we got here, we're just exploring the house and we. I walked outside with her. She's like, dad, I saw someone. I said, she's two. I said, what?

[Andrew]

She.

[Josh]

I saw someone. That's creepy. Someone. I said, what are you talking about? Like what they look like? And she just said, a little girl said, don't say that. Apparently in the basement.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Lily discovered it. Today, there is a painting of a little girl.

[Andrew]

Yes.

[Hardy]

Oh, no, dude. Yeah.

[Andrew]

No, there's not.

[Josh]

There is.

[Hardy]

Oh, God.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

That's where I sleep.

[Josh]

I know.

[Andrew]

And every painting in this house, the owner, the person who built it was an artist. So, like, all the paintings are things that are around the house. Like the painting in the kitchen is the kitchen window.

[Hardy]

It's also for a cabin in the woods. It's very whimsical. It is, yeah.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

And it seems like very wholesome. All the paintings, right? Like, all the. The owners did this. They're probably some old people that just.

[Hardy]

Kathy Bates in Misery.

[Andy]

That's what I'm saying.

[Andrew]

It's.

[Andy]

It's creepy now. That's. And look, we're in a horror movie. Like that's the whole premise of horror movie. When you show up to a cabin like, oh, look at that. So pretty and wholesome. And then you go downstairs on the final night and you see a painting of a girl who Jane, the 2 year old, has seen all weekend.

[Hardy]

And suddenly it's not your final night.

[Josh]

Dude.

[Hardy]

I. Literally today. So Callie and I bought. We. We got really lucky with our neighbors next door to our house. And it was an elderly woman and her son, and they were selling their house. It was right next to our house. So we. We. They let us buy their house at a really good cost. Anyway, long story short, we were in there today. They've moved out. They moved to Florida. And it's. It's like the oldest house in the neighborhood. Right? So built like in the maybe 40s or something like that. But she. So we were walking. We took a walk around the neighborhood. Our neighborhood's like a loop or whatever. And we go. I was like, let's go look in the house. And so we look in there. It's just abandoned house. Like, not spooky at all. But Callie's like, all right, I'm gonna take Rosie and put her back in the thing. And I was like, all right, I'll go inside and lock up. And so I. It's like a split level home. But anyway, I'm looking down at her through a window and I heard like a nice like, thud. And there's probably raccoon. Like they haven't lived there in a while, so squirrels or something in there. But I. There was a. There was a. There's a third floor that I you. There was no attic string or stairs anywhere. And man, it was like the most horror movie, like, beginning of a horror movie thing ever. It's like fall. The Wind's blowing the leaves, and she's out there, like, playing with the baby. And I open the window, and I.

[Josh]

Was like, hey, babe, do you see.

[Hardy]

Another floor up here? And she's like, yeah, up there. It's probably an attic. And I was like, man, this is like, the most beginning of a horror movie ever. Like, I go look for it, and then the guy, you know, the. The creepy zombie guy or whatever it may be. God, there was a movie that was like that, but he snatches me up and, you know, it's like the beginning of the thing.

[Andy]

That sounds like Amityville horror, dude.

[Hardy]

It was so. I was just like, man, I'm going get out of here right now.

[Andrew]

Dud.

[Andy]

Yeah. Your baby comes down. He's like, I was playing in the.

[Hardy]

Attic, like, no, you were. Yeah.

[Andrew]

You can't.

[Andy]

Why were you doing that? Also, how are you talking? You're nine months old.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Andy]

That's good.

[Josh]

Oh, gosh. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

[Andy]

It sure is, Josh. But before we get into that, can I. Can I ask you a personal question?

[Josh]

I don't see why not.

[Andy]

Well, when was the last time you called your childhood best friend, man, I honestly don't know. Okay, well, when's the last time you checked in on your neighbor who always invites you over for spicy enchiladas?

[Andrew]

Honestly?

[Josh]

Too long.

[Andy]

All right, well, how about this? When's the last time you chatted with your great, great, great grandmother and asked her how she's doing?

[Josh]

Andy, I don't think I've ever done that.

[Andy]

Wow, Josh. Wow.

[Josh]

Okay, what is this all about?

[Andy]

I'm trying to prove a point. Josh.

[Josh]

Is the point to make me feel bad? Because you're. You're doing a pretty good job at that.

[Andy]

It's the opposite. Listen, November and the holidays are right around the corner. You know, everyone hears that. And that's great news, right? Good news, Hip it. Parade holidays. But there's others out there that don't feel the same way.

[Josh]

I never thought about it like that.

[Andy]

I mean, the days are getting longer, darker, and it can get really difficult and lonely for a lot of people.

[Josh]

That is so true. I guess it takes a little courage for me to reach out and send a text sometimes.

[Andy]

Exactly, Josh. And also takes a lot of courage to ask for help. And that's why BetterHelp is so great. Me and my wife, we go, we use better help every single week. We talk to our therapist, and it really helps us out. And I don't know why we haven't done it. Sooner.

[Andy]

Thank you, BetterHelp.

[Josh]

Mental health is the way you gotta go to feel better.

[Andy]

I also have some really bad news about your great, great, great, great grandmother.

[Josh]

What?

[Andy]

She passed away.

[Andrew]

What? Yeah.

[Josh]

When?

[Andy]

87 years ago. Sorry, bud. Lunch.

[Hardy]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Josh. We finally got him in.

[Josh]

We sure did, Andy.

[Andy]

Ladies and gentlemen, our boots from Brent came in and guess what? I'm telling you, they fit perfect. I've never had boots that when I put them on, they feel good even. Immediately. Immediately.

[Josh]

They're the best boots I've ever owned in my entire life.

[Andy]

You're extremely flexible.

[Andrew]

I know.

[Andy]

Okay, back to it. Listen, ladies and gentlemen, we just took a trip to Tennessee and we don't often wear boots down here in Florida because it's hot. But guess what? When we took our boots to Tennessee, we walked in the dirt, we walked in the mud, we walked through the forest, we walked up mountains and hills and we achieved greatness. And it could not have been done without our brunt boots. I love them, Josh. I mean, I mean, literally. I'm not joking. As soon as I put these on, there was like no, like breaking them in. There was no time of like just having to make them feel good. Yeah, I immediately. They immediately felt comfortable.

[Josh]

Immediately. And guess what? Brent is not only boots, they have full range of high performance gear built for tough jobs.

[Andy]

And their Marin boots are really dope because guess what? They're waterproof.

[Josh]

Yeah, they are.

[Andy]

They're water. See? Oh, nope. Waterproof, baby. I mean, I don't know. We have been walking through swamps. I literally walked through the swamp with Andrew recently and I had my other boots on. My feet got soaked.

[Andrew]

Yeah, they did.

[Josh]

And guess what? Choosing your work boots doesn't mean you have to sacrifice comfort or durability. Bright means no break in and no sore feet. And that's actually true. I have very sensitive feet, Andy.

[Andy]

Yes, you do. I've always known that about you and You've. That's obviously one of your, like, strongest of characteristics, but it's fading away now that we have Brunt boots on.

[Josh]

And guess what? Since wearing these Brent boots, I'm not feeling any pains in my feet.

[Andy]

I'm not even scared of the dark anymore.

[Josh]

And I've been able to kick down doors with these suckers.

[Andy]

What doors are you kicking down?

[Josh]

All of them, Andy.

[Andy]

Hey, you probably couldn't do that in any other boot. But only Brett boots will do it.

[Josh]

Only Brett boots.

[Andy]

Absolutely. With tips dropping in, the holidays coming up, it's time to treat yourself or the hard working man or woman in your life to real comfort. Skip the throwaway gifts and get him something. Or her. Built to last Brunt workwear, baby.

[Josh]

[Andrew]

Oh, gosh. Oh, gosh.

[Josh]

Scary.

[Andy]

I thought you were almost stuck there for life.

[Josh]

Oh, my gosh.

[Andy]

That's so scary, dude.

[Josh]

Speaking of scary.

[Andy]

Don't say it.

[Josh]

Did you hear about the bears in Japan?

[Andrew]

What?

[Hardy]

Wait, no, not me.

[Josh]

No, the bear.

[Andy]

Like, actual bears.

[Hardy]

Wait, this isn't the thing where they thought that they were people. That was China, right?

[Josh]

That was. Yeah.

[Andy]

No, those were spots, actually.

[Josh]

Yeah, yeah. Oh, no, I know. You're talking about where they look. Their bodies are all weird and like, they're like, waving and stuff.

[Hardy]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Super strange. People are dying in China from bears.

[Josh]

No, Japan.

[Andy]

Japan's same thing. Hey, I can't say it. I said it, but then you said it louder, so I'm fine.

[Josh]

No, apparently in Japan, the bears are just attacking everyone.

[Hardy]

What kind of are they? Not panda bears.

[Andrew]

Close.

[Andy]

The most adorable death ever.

[Hardy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are they? What kind are they?

[Josh]

I think they're just like brown bears.

[Hardy]

Okay.

[Andy]

But sloth bears would be scary.

[Josh]

This year in Japan, 11 people have died from bears and are, like, hikers. No, just there'll be people on the streets and bears will come out of the woods and just attack people.

[Andy]

Now, that sounds like a lot. But is that like, obviously that's up.

[Josh]

More than, like, Japan's history.

[Andy]

Weird.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

What causes that?

[Andrew]

I don't know. I don't know anything about, like, people moving to Japan or, like, development. Are they, like, expanding?

[Hardy]

But there's like.

[Josh]

What is that?

[Andrew]

It's playing Airplane window.

[Hardy]

There's Like a.

[Andy]

Sure.

[Hardy]

Is there a. There's a billion people in Japan, right?

[Andrew]

A billion.

[Andy]

Let me look.

[Hardy]

No, no. No way. No. No shot. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I said that. 500 million.

[Andrew]

Maybe.

[Hardy]

500. Half a billion.

[Josh]

Maybe America.

[Andy]

America has 323 million.

[Hardy]

Wow. Geez.

[Andy]

Cut that.

[Hardy]

We can cut that. I was thinking of India.

[Andy]

I swear to God. That's scary. No, what that reminds me of. Ever since I can't remember who we talked to, but about somebody about, like, just like, possession, like mystical possession over, like, taking over animals and causing them to do certain things. That's like. That's the first thing that popped my mind, really, of, like, just like, people possessing. Using black magic or whatever. Possessing animals to do certain.

[Josh]

I mean, we talked about the emperor.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Josh]

That just got. Whatever.

[Andrew]

Well, the. The ritual with the bed and that. It's very similar to, like, all the Watcher stuff. And so it's the same sort of religious origin.

[Andy]

Yeah. That's so weird. What? Because that has. There has to be a correlation to something.

[Josh]

Like, they're actually, like, they have no idea how it's happening, but just bears are attacking people in Japan.

[Hardy]

Wow.

[Andy]

So scary.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

I love that we're making it like, this super deep thing and really could just be like, sanitation isn't keeping up, so bears are coming down.

[Andy]

But that's like. That's the thing. It's like. It's deaths. And I just want to look at, like, the, like, you know, the past years of, like, how many bear deaths have happened?

[Hardy]

How many happen in the US A year?

[Andy]

Ooh, good question.

[Andrew]

I don't know.

[Andy]

I don't.

[Josh]

We had our first Florida death by black bear.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Yeah. Ever.

[Hardy]

Wait, where. What part? Because where. What part of the state was it?

[Andrew]

He was. It wasn't at the Gainesville area. Yeah. I could be making.

[Josh]

But I think it was like, central.

[Hardy]

Because, like, south Florida. They're like little teeny bears. Right. They're like Louisiana black bears. And they're like, a lot smaller, bro.

[Andrew]

I'll show you some photos of some bears after this, like, moultrie, like your normal, like, tractor supply feeder. Them things are like. Put their paws on the top of it. They're black bears, but, like, bigger. My buddies.

[Hardy]

No, they moved. They brought a bunch down to where you're from that. Around that. That big park that kind of surrounds, like, the Navy base and all that.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah.

[Hardy]

And. And then they. And then, like, the next day, all 14 of them were at the dump.

[Andrew]

Yep.

[Hardy]

And they realized that they Were all the like misbehaved, trash eating bears that they booed from like Tennessee to down here. That's crazy. Died from a black bear attack in Florida.

[Josh]

It went into his trailer, killed his dog in his yard, then went into his trailer and killed him.

[Andrew]

Yeah, dude.

[Andy]

Hungry Man.

[Hardy]

That guy did something, dude.

[Andy]

Yeah, he did something. Did you. Did you find out 11 deaths in the past five years in the U.S. in the U.S. so that's what I'm saying.

[Hardy]

That's.

[Andy]

We have so many bears here, a lot all over this country.

[Hardy]

It's also weird that it's also 11 though. That's kind of weird.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Andy]

All the numbers super strange because they, they keep them up by decade. That's super strange. But it didn't even say like, like when I googled it for sure. Like it said like there's no numbers because it's such a rare thing. And then Wikipedia does it like by decades. And so from 2025 to 2020 it was 11.

[Andrew]

That's so weird.

[Hardy]

But yeah, I wonder how many. I love snake. I'm a snake guy. Yeah, you guys are free.

[Andrew]

I almost stepped on it.

[Hardy]

Do they really? Your Florida guy?

[Andrew]

I mean like, like I'm not going.

[Hardy]

To be like you look like a guy that would love like handles.

[Josh]

I mean I like, I like that I see them.

[Andrew]

But like when you're, when you're going through the woods in the dark and you're not wearing like snake gators, it's like I don't.

[Hardy]

Especially in the south where like there's a lot of venomous snakes.

[Andrew]

I mean, I mean like he went with me. I was just showing him the property. I hunt and apparently like I was stalking ahead and I guess something went between my legs. I just wasn't paying attention.

[Andy]

I was, I was walking behind him.

[Hardy]

In Florida?

[Andy]

Yeah, we were walking through the swamps and everything like that. And I was like, he was ahead of me and he was looking for deer and I'm looking around just enjoying nature. And I looked down, he steps right over this huge black snake and just in the middle of the swamp and.

[Andrew]

It'S just, I was so locked. There's a 300 pound hog on the property. And like I've come me to you from him and I don't want to do that. And so my eyes were like looking for movement.

[Hardy]

Did you not un alive him?

[Andrew]

Dude, I've been hunting him since February. This is the smartest freaking pig.

[Hardy]

Well, pigs are like one of the smartest animals in the world.

[Andy]

He knows short term stupid.

[Hardy]

But they're like long term smart.

[Andrew]

No, he will, he will come talking about me.

[Hardy]

I would never call you a pig.

[Andrew]

He will come and sit on the corn I put out and he will wait for three days to be sure I'm not coming back. Literally just looking at it 20 yards away. He knows my feeder is, my corn is. And he sits downwind and wait.

[Hardy]

Crazy. Pigs are smart.

[Andrew]

Yeah, man. I'm gonna get them though.

[Andy]

That bear story reminds me of. There's this story that happened in Africa where lions were being like, just poached like crazy. This certain tribe of lions and these like three specific lions terrorized a village. And they wouldn't eat the bodies, they're just kill. They would just kill. And they made a movie about it and they wrote books about it. It's just, they truly were just hunting to kill.

[Hardy]

That's cool.

[Andy]

It was like a true vengeance revenge type of story. And it's like to me, like, that's the type of thing. Like there's something to it. There's something with animals we just don't know.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

There's an intelligence we don't completely understand too.

[Hardy]

Sure. That gets into the like, do animals have souls kind of thing.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

Because like by. By laws of nature you would think, like there's, you know, they only have like three or four rules in their head. Right. It's like drink, reproduce, and I don't know, whatever. But that just seems intelligence. That's a layered. That's a layered, like our, our pride or whatever it is is in danger. Let's go kill them, but not eat them to teach them a lesson. It's a pretty complex thought for a. Yeah.

[Andy]

And maybe, maybe it's not a soul thing. Maybe it is just a different type of intelligence below that where.

[Hardy]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Like, because, you know, like a soul is able to choose, you know, like, you know, like the meaning of life and what we choose to do and devote our life to God or whatever. But if there's a level below that, which I believe, like dogs are on that level. Right. Like there's like, there's something like that, something specific that separates certain animals from another. But like, it's something like that. Like, it's proven, it's scientifically proven, studied that certain animals act out certain ways compared to just their nature.

[Hardy]

Yeah. Well, you know, cats are spiteful. Like, if we leave our cat outside, he'll like take a dump on the outdoor furniture, you know, if we like forget to bring him in or something.

[Andy]

And ravens, they. They are known to gossip.

[Hardy]

They hold grudges, too.

[Andy]

Yeah, they hold. They gossip and they hold grudges. Like, they. Like. Like if a certain owner or something like that is, you know, like. Or a person nearby is, like, super good to them, they will. They will share that information, I've heard, and vice versa. Like, if they're terrible or something about an actual person. Yeah, Like a specific house, people.

[Hardy]

Yeah, that's freaky.

[Andrew]

Do you see Rogan shared the bird? I don't remember. It wasn't a parrot. It was like a gray something parrot. It was like one of the talking birds. But it's like this crazy new thing. It started asking. It's really old. It's about to die. But it's started asking, like, existential questions about where it's going and what's next.

[Josh]

Ooh, they're like.

[Andrew]

They're, like, talking. I don't. I'm not gonna make up what it said. I just remember seeing it being, like, weird. I'm like, I hope someone's off camera. Like, repeat after me. You know what I mean?

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Because if this bird's actually asking, where am I going next? But that gets in. Like, C.S. lewis talks about, like, how the owner passes on somehow a part of its soul to the pet. Like, he thinks dogs will be in heaven. I believe it was CS Lewis who was saying that. But I wonder, going back to the African lions, if the humanity. If humanity and proximity to the creature can pass to the thing, could some sort of malicious. Like, if these are just. This tribe was, like, hostilely just trying to, like, for no reason other than to prove themselves, you know, could the lions grab a hold of that?

[Andy]

Yeah, I mean, I think. I mean, God works in mysterious ways. So I think there is a possibility that, like, there's moments, right? Like, it's just like. I don't know. I think they're. Yeah, they're. God could just put down certain moments of miracles within moments that are, you know, that. That becomes stories and that we can look at and we can, you know, grow from or look at.

[Hardy]

Oh, yeah.

[Andy]

I don't know. It's. It's strange that.

[Hardy]

Don't kill lions or lions will kill you.

[Andy]

That's what I've always said.

[Josh]

Ravens, apparently.

[Andy]

Apparently. Ravens, dude.

[Andrew]

Just. Which.

[Andy]

Yeah, like those Australian birds. The. What are those, cockatoos? No, they're magpies.

[Hardy]

Oh. Yeah.

[Andy]

They have to wear, like, big hats or something or, like, crazy stuff on their head so the magpies don't come because they'll literally grab your eyes. Like, you've seen that video or something. The beak were coming.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

Oh, I saw that.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

It's like a news reporter. No. What was it?

[Josh]

It was just some chick walking on tick tock.

[Andy]

Yeah, she's just talking and everything. Like it went up in her like round her eyeball. Dude.

[Hardy]

Yeah.

[Andy]

And I was like, no, thank you.

[Hardy]

Yeah, I'm good on that. Australia's dude.

[Andrew]

Everything wants to kill you there.

[Hardy]

Yeah.

[Andy]

But that's what I heard about Florida. Well before I moved to Florida I heard it was just the. The most snakes in the world. The biggest spiders and the biggest mosquitoes. Dude. I love snakes. And I've probably seen five snakes in five years. I'm so mad about it. It's just like. I just want to see more animals.

[Hardy]

I think they're further south. Right?

[Josh]

Like South Korea.

[Andrew]

They got the pythons though. But those aren't even native. I mean we have.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

They're just. They're everywhere.

[Hardy]

You follow the guy that does like the yoink stuff.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

I can't remember his name.

[Andy]

He's swamp puppies.

[Hardy]

Yeah.

[Andy]

The alligators. He's just like turns on his flashlight in the middle of the night and he just.

[Hardy]

He's right there.

[Andy]

30 million eyes.

[Hardy]

Yeah.

[Andy]

That dude's crazy.

[Hardy]

Yes.

[Andrew]

That's insane.

[Josh]

He's like in the Everglades. Right?

[Hardy]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Barefoot.

[Hardy]

Barefoot.

[Josh]

Nuts.

[Andy]

We gotta get them all.

[Hardy]

Good thing the bugs aren't bad. And it's like the mosquitoes are like. It's like nothing you've ever seen before.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Crazy.

[Andy]

He's wild.

[Andrew]

Dude. Not a chance.

[Josh]

Speaking of wild.

[Andy]

Japan Bear. Dude.

[Josh]

Dear.

[Andrew]

What?

[Josh]

Russia just did.

[Andrew]

Nope.

[Andy]

Oh. Don't you? I've been hanging out with you all week and you haven't talked about Japan, bears or Russia at all.

[Josh]

I've been saving it.

[Andy]

I know what's happening in Russia.

[Josh]

So Russia just launched their first nuclear powered missile.

[Andy]

Compared to what? What it's like. What are the other missiles?

[Josh]

A non nuclear powered missile.

[Andy]

Oh, got it.

[Hardy]

Okay.

[Josh]

But in theory because it's its own nuclear like reactor within this missile.

[Hardy]

It makes it go is what you're saying.

[Josh]

It can fly forever.

[Hardy]

Okay.

[Andy]

So they could set it off and let it go forever and then orbit.

[Hardy]

And then when somebody. They don't. When somebody screws up they just are like that guy.

[Josh]

Basically.

[Andy]

Oh. So they just put in the coordinates.

[Josh]

Then the fuel is the nuclear reactor. They said it's like a tiny Chernobyl.

[Andy]

A tiny Chernobyl is a big Chernobyl.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

There's no tiny Chernobyl.

[Josh]

So scary.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

They just Launched it. It was successful. It can just fly forever.

[Andrew]

So where is it?

[Hardy]

In space?

[Andrew]

Is it singular. They.

[Josh]

They let it crash, but the test was to see if it would even run.

[Andrew]

And so. So that's. That's pr, then. So they're like, yeah, it could run forever, but we're. We're gonna crash.

[Andy]

They're flexing.

[Andrew]

Maybe.

[Andy]

Or maybe they didn't crash it. Do we have footage of them crashing it?

[Andrew]

No.

[Andy]

Well, then they didn't crash. Why are we trusting Russians now? Yeah, like, based on, like, oh, like, yeah, we crashed it. Don't worry.

[Josh]

Don't worry. It's like, well, let's see what that does.

[Andy]

We want to have fun. Flies, dude.

[Hardy]

That's what I'm saying.

[Andy]

That.

[Hardy]

Awesome.

[Andy]

We just heard.

[Josh]

I know.

[Hardy]

Maybe that's it. Maybe that was actually it. Is it. But is it also a nuclear warhead? Right.

[Josh]

They didn't say.

[Hardy]

Okay.

[Josh]

They just said it was a nuclear powered missile. I don't know, but I think the theater.

[Andrew]

The.

[Josh]

Or like, the idea was that we can put a warhead on that.

[Andy]

Right.

[Josh]

Just fly it.

[Hardy]

I saw something. This could be 10 years old. The dead hand thing where, like, Russia has a thing where, like, if, if, if. If a. If their nuclear facility experiences a nuclear bomb from somewhere else, they have a button called, like a dead hand. But I have heard of that where, like, it'll just go off and, like, send them out to wherever. If everybody were to die. That's why they call it the dead hand. Like, if they get hit with a nuke, they have a button that'll just send them everywhere. That's so diabolical.

[Andy]

Who has access to that button?

[Josh]

I think it's like an automatic thing, right?

[Hardy]

Yeah. No, if everybody dies.

[Andy]

Got it.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

Literally nobody has access to it.

[Andy]

Oh, so they're like. If no one's touched, like, something like, is like, has to like, taunt. Constantly does touch the button. If they stop touching it, then it's.

[Josh]

Like the dead hand.

[Andy]

Oh, they're dead.

[Hardy]

Yeah. Like, if they're dead, whatever. They have like a nuclear sensor. And the sensor is like, oh, well, everybody must be dead. Bam. And it just sends everything out.

[Andy]

So no matter what, we're dead.

[Hardy]

Yeah. That's also a rumor, though. It's like, okay. It's like, okay, if we. Yeah, like, if you nuke Russia.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

It's going to nuke you back. But we don't know any of that to be true technically.

[Andy]

What a great rumor to spread. Like, it's probably not a thing at all, but now we're scared of it. That's good.

[Josh]

There's a lot out here that we don't know about that.

[Andy]

Also with this podcast, we have a dead hand.

[Josh]

We do.

[Andrew]

If we die. If anyone.

[Andy]

We're doing every other podcast.

[Hardy]

That's good.

[Andy]

You hear me now?

[Josh]

Yeah, it's.

[Andy]

That's terrifying.

[Andrew]

Dude.

[Andy]

What, is Russia gonna just stop just, like, making the news? You think they would just lie low for a little bit?

[Hardy]

I think it needs to be. I think climate change is gonna make Russia be better.

[Josh]

Here we go.

[Hardy]

Because eventually, dude, it's gonna get warmer and they're going to be less pissed off and, like, you know what I mean? The water's gonna get where you're going. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Josh]

Just let the.

[Andy]

Let it.

[Hardy]

Let the planet warm up a little bit, man. Everybody will chill out a little bit.

[Andrew]

They just need a little hot cocoa.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Everything.

[Josh]

Everything gets a nice summer breeze.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

That's all they need.

[Josh]

The world not so bad.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

A little island music.

[Andy]

Have they heard of the Beach Boys yet? Has it gone over to them?

[Andrew]

Because I feel like Elvis never made it to Russia. He stopped in Hawaii.

[Andy]

I truly feel like everything would be fine if they just had the Beach Boys and Elvis.

[Josh]

Yep. Did you hear about Bill Gates and climate change?

[Andrew]

No. No.

[Josh]

You know, he's been like, the biggest proponent.

[Andy]

Yeah, sure. Which is such a weird thing. I'm doing computers and ipods. Yeah.

[Josh]

He just came out and said it's not that big of a deal.

[Andy]

He just did dead down playing it. Nuh.

[Josh]

He just came out.

[Andy]

No. What did he say?

[Josh]

He said, climate change, it's not going to end humanity.

[Hardy]

He was like, you know what? Never mind.

[Andy]

Kind of vibe, basically.

[Hardy]

What does he know?

[Andrew]

What did he. What did.

[Josh]

Exactly.

[Hardy]

What did he just figure out?

[Josh]

There's something to fight that dude, that's.

[Andy]

Population I can't see.

[Josh]

Climate change is not going to end us. It's this giant meteor that's coming towards us that's going to wipe us off.

[Hardy]

Oh, that's so just like, what is real?

[Josh]

Dude, he didn't say the meter thing.

[Andy]

And then he's like, yeah, the climate change thing.

[Josh]

Oh, yeah.

[Andrew]

It's because of population. There's been a bunch of people who started slipping, talking about like. Of like. Like something happened where now they're saying, like, we have a population, like, we no longer have a surplus, like, it's going to reset itself.

[Hardy]

Oh, that was insane decline.

[Andrew]

Right? And so now we're okay.

[Andy]

Can we stop this. This getting overworked about everything that billionaires say. Yeah, we take it as truth every single time.

[Josh]

It's just weird, though, because it's just like he's been like, if we don't stop doing what we're doing, everyone's going to die.

[Hardy]

You know what? Never mind.

[Josh]

And then.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andy]

Sounds like something. Sounds like something five years ago as well.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh]

But I'm saying there's something weird with it. There's something weird with it.

[Andy]

Yes.

[Hardy]

Wait, what's the meteor, though? When's that gonna be a thing?

[Andrew]

Three Eye Atlas.

[Josh]

Three A Atlas. I think it's behind the sun.

[Andy]

Have you heard that? Have you heard about this?

[Hardy]

Maybe once from you guys? Maybe.

[Andy]

Okay, this is. This is nuts because not only we're talking about Blake, there's just a lot of people talking about it. There's just. What is it, like 7ft, 7 miles wide?

[Andrew]

It's huge.

[Andy]

Is it big enough to destroy the Earth?

[Hardy]

Oh, yeah, yeah, Miles.

[Andy]

But the thing is. But the thing is, it's even like.

[Hardy]

South Pacific or something. Just.

[Josh]

But it wouldn't destroy Earth. It would throw Earth. It would. It would be like I would push.

[Andrew]

Us a little bit. Catalyst to send us off access, maybe shift the poles, got you fall into winter or something.

[Josh]

Like a dinosaur extinction kind of thing.

[Andy]

That's if it was just an asteroid. It's glowing. It's not pushing off emissions. Like, it's not.

[Josh]

This is the weird thing. There's videos coming out and it looks like a spaceship.

[Andy]

This is coming from NASA. This is people coming from Japan. Like, this is like people studying around the world. And it almost has lights on it. And it's not. Doesn't. It's not acting as a meteor. And so this thing is. It's going off projections of like, what they. What they thought it would do. It's doing different things. So that's what everyone's saying, is that this is something very, very different than just an asteroid or a meteor.

[Andrew]

Yeah, I'm a skeptic through and through on this stuff. But the weird thing is they're like, we don't know why it sped up and slowed down.

[Hardy]

Well, that's slowing down. Speeding up I can understand, but, like, slowing back down doesn't make any sense.

[Andrew]

And it's doing that in that. Oh, so it's like.

[Andy]

It's weird.

[Andrew]

And they're like. I mean, maybe there's some weird black hole thing out there we don't understand.

[Andy]

Yet that pulled it.

[Andrew]

But it's like. It's enough to be like, yeah, maybe. Maybe I am Going to refresh myself on that from time to time and see what's going on.

[Hardy]

Wow. What's it called again?

[Andrew]

Three Eye Atlas.

[Hardy]

Okay.

[Andy]

I mean, but I mean, everyone. NASA, Harvard, all these, like, international places are all studying it.

[Hardy]

And it's glowing like. It's like. It's like. Is there a shape? Do they have a. I'd love to see it.

[Andy]

Yeah, it's a long.

[Josh]

Like a cigar almost.

[Hardy]

Almost like a turd turdish type thing. Yeah.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

Cool.

[Andy]

Could it just be a big space turd?

[Andrew]

Crap.

[Josh]

Crap. Attack A seven miles.

[Hardy]

Wow.

[Andy]

It's very strange, but it's like one of those things. Well, that's what made me question. It's like, is everyone talking about this or is this only the usa? Because it's like, is this just kind of like a, you know, a fake thing that people are trying to get scared of?

[Josh]

So let me see.

[Andy]

It's literally shaped like a rival. So this is arrival.

[Andrew]

This is like that string of lights is kind of like what they're pulling it from, but those lights have changed. And then these are like some renderings.

[Hardy]

Wait, go back, go back, go back. That is a space turd. Look at the show.

[Andy]

Look at that.

[Hardy]

That's an actual space turd.

[Andrew]

Yeah, dude. That is a fibrous vessel.

[Hardy]

Oh, that's wild.

[Andy]

But look at that.

[Josh]

You know, it's even crazier that it's. It came from Uranus.

[Hardy]

That's what.

[Andrew]

Well done. Well done.

[Hardy]

So good. That.

[Andy]

That's the crazy thing is it came. We can't explain it. Uranus split wide open. It's.

[Hardy]

It came right out of it, dude.

[Andy]

Yes. It's weird.

[Hardy]

The thing you sent me. That's not real, though. That's just like a. A depiction or whatever.

[Josh]

That's the. That's. This is where we're. We're hitting.

[Andy]

How far is this? You don't know really. But that's the most repetitive thing that I've been saying is those, like, lighting, like the. How it changes.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Can you get. I don't know. Like, that's. I don't know what to believe.

[Hardy]

When are they. When is that supposed to happen?

[Andrew]

Here we can't have an answer because it speeds up and slows down. Okay, so.

[Hardy]

But like, how far is it light.

[Andrew]

Years away, the sun right now? So.

[Andy]

Yeah, I thought it. I thought it just broke out through the sun.

[Andrew]

Did it just come.

[Andy]

I think it just like broke. So it was orbiting around between the.

[Hardy]

Sun and us right now?

[Andrew]

Yes. Yeah. Geez. Yeah.

[Josh]

Kind of the other Side. Yeah, yeah.

[Andy]

It's weird, man. It's super strange.

[Andrew]

He's like, I need to.

[Hardy]

Dude, I know, it's, it's. Jesus is on that bad boy.

[Andy]

Dude, I freaking, I see, I see him on a white horse on top and I'm like, we're good, we're good, we're solid.

[Josh]

The Harvard guy. So there's a Harvard professor that said that there's a 5% chance, I think he said that that's an alien ship.

[Hardy]

Which 5% is pretty big.

[Andrew]

That's pretty big.

[Hardy]

That's actually huge when you think about it.

[Josh]

But he went off and he did studies. So it's called 3i Atlas because it's the third interstellar object to enter our solar system that we've been able to observe. And there was one that apparently went through and. Or like a. I don't know, thousands of years ago or something that he speculated happened. Like something from out of the solar system. I don't know how they do this stuff.

[Andy]

Yeah, I want to know about the first two.

[Josh]

But he's like, oh, no, it wasn't that. I'm trying to think. Basically it crashed and he went looking for remnants of it to see what it's genetic makeup or whatever that's properties were. And he's like, well, the US military, they probably have satellite images of like where it would have hit all this stuff and went. And whatever. General. He said, yes, we do have images of it, where it hit and stuff, but we can't show you because it's all classified.

[Andy]

Why is it classified if it's not a big deal? Why is it classified?

[Josh]

It was, and this is a true story. They said it's classified. They said because it would show of what we can look at.

[Hardy]

Did they just not want like a gajillion people going somewhere and ruining some farmer's life or something?

[Andy]

Like, why would they care though, of all the things.

[Josh]

It's in the ocean. It was in the ocean where it hit.

[Hardy]

Yeah, that doesn't matter.

[Andy]

Something's in the ocean.

[Josh]

They said it's classified and we cannot share that information with you, but we can tell you. Yes, that's where it hit.

[Andy]

Why? Why is it always the water? Dude, it's always the water.

[Hardy]

Well, last time we were talking about you, we were talking about the, the. I mean, you guys don't have to. The aliens that can go underwater and above water and underground lakes or whatever it was. Right, we talked about that a little bit.

[Josh]

Oh yeah, yeah.

[Andy]

We, we recorded with you before the drone things Happen in New Jersey.

[Hardy]

Oh God, I forgot about that.

[Andy]

That was nutso.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Did you.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Did you see what all that was? Like the photos. We have a buddy who I saw.

[Hardy]

Stuff that was on the news or just whatever on just tick tock and crap like that.

[Andrew]

But dude, we have a friend who sent us like actual photos from like a military expo of like SUV sized drones that they were debuting.

[Hardy]

But wait, I thought that somebody finally was like, no, never mind. No, I think I maybe imagine that. But my thing is like why would, why would. Why if it was, if it was the U.S. if it were to be the U.S. why wouldn't we just be like, yeah, it's us. But just like don't worry about it.

[Andy]

Why?

[Hardy]

Promise? I promise we're not being doing sketchy. I feel like more people would be like, okay, I don't know, I. Because sure, tons of people be like, we need to know what it is. But like if they were like, chill out, we're just trying to do something.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

You had governors of states asking like what it was. We don't know what this is. Why wouldn't they be in the loop? If it truly was American technology?

[Josh]

It was.

[Andy]

Well, it's, we don't. Here's, here's what it's been said it was.

[Josh]

No, but it's, it's this loophole with these, with these defense contractors, these Lockheed.

[Andrew]

And all those type of.

[Josh]

Or they don't have to disclose what they're working on even with the US.

[Andrew]

Government, but they do have to abide. That's why they had all the, what is it? Fa. Whatever. The lights. They. That's why they still had the lights, but they didn't have to disclose what they were working on. But our government isn't. I mean they are developing new stuff, but they're really middle management now. Like all the development happens in the private sector where real money is.

[Andy]

Sure, but why the question, why would they even put it above public land? Why would they put it above people? Why can't they test it over Area 51? Places where they own country were over the ocean where no one would see there's a reason for it. And so it either makes sense of like they're trying to fake an alien attack or two, it wasn't them and this is their way of building their.

[Andrew]

Own technology or stuff wasn't supposed to be seen and was like, I know people.

[Andy]

There's no way they.

[Andrew]

I know people.

[Hardy]

That one I believe the least, to be honest.

[Andrew]

In New York I know people in infantry I'm like. I'm saying, if you have something and you're like, I want to know. Like, do people hear it? Like, can they make out what it is? I don't know, but I know people in infantry where you. That area we were talking about, I was like, outage you right there. But that, that, that area we were talking about.

[Hardy]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Where they were given ops on civilians before deploying to be sure that they could pull off ops and, like, stay unseen.

[Andy]

But they know the life that we're living. Like, they know the, the. The culture that we're living in. You fly over drones over New Jersey, people are going to take videos of it. It's going. It became a worldwide phenomenon on. Is that only where it was? It was. Yeah, predominantly. But there was a lot more stuff in Florida, too. Yeah, there was.

[Hardy]

Where, where was it exactly in Florida?

[Andy]

I think it was South Florida. Yeah, it was like, Miami area.

[Hardy]

See, that's the only other thing that. That always trips me out is, like, why a lot of it is, like, bigger. It's like cities.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

Like, a lot of the things, I don't know. Drones are different because, like, that's obviously clearly not like an alien.

[Andrew]

Right.

[Hardy]

Thing.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

But the thing is, we only know that because somebody from the inside that was at these shows, that saw these aircrafts, told us about it.

[Hardy]

Yeah.

[Andy]

The public just forgot.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Like, that's the thing. It was all over the news. Well, you just said.

[Hardy]

And then I was like, oh, yeah, I forgot about that.

[Andy]

Exactly. That's insane that we just forgot about it.

[Hardy]

Just how our brains work.

[Andy]

So is it just. How is it just the military just knowing that, like, we have short attention spans and no one cares?

[Hardy]

I would. I think. I think 100% that.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

I mean, people know that. How, how quickly we forget things and move on.

[Andy]

That drives me crazy, though. And maybe that's a selfish thing of mine. Like. Like, why don't people just. Like, why don't. Why is that important to people?

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Andy]

But it irritates me, like, how it just, like, this should be a big deal, that we're just being, like, lied to. Or there is something.

[Andrew]

I don't know, we're distracted. Either one easiest distraction. Op that's just like, hey, go, go buzz over a city real quick.

[Hardy]

Yeah, that'll get them going.

[Andrew]

Yeah. Everyone will be talking forever.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

And then you got some congressman who's got, you know, doing bad numbers with the Gen Z kids, and they're all on Tick Tock. And he's like, well, I gotta Give him something. And so now he cares.

[Josh]

I think it was a double play.

[Andrew]

Sure.

[Josh]

I think they were actually testing something. Yeah. But they're also testing of how our culture or our society would respond to something that we didn't know what was out there.

[Andy]

And that's our. That was our.

[Hardy]

With no information. It's like, how do you think people are going to respond with no information?

[Josh]

They're probably like, let's see what they do. Like, can they. Can they progress so much to where they find out what it is? Yeah. Like, are they capable of doing that? And no one was capable.

[Hardy]

We're all just a game show. It's just.

[Andy]

It's just 100% is. And that's what I. That's what I said in January, dude. I was like, I think it was like a test of our attention span or how much we care. Because you had the Luigi Mangione thing.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

And the drones happened and then like the January, like the Tesla on fire and then something else happened in January.

[Andrew]

It's like, boom.

[Andy]

Oh, that's right.

[Hardy]

It was like a crazy month.

[Andy]

And it was like them testing how quickly we just move on from things because like, oh, they don't really care about alien things happening.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Interesting.

[Josh]

I guarantee they observe just how.

[Hardy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

We just look at these things, dude.

[Andrew]

The Pentagon. The Pentagon has a ninjas meter. And they're like, ninjas couldn't keep up too much. We got to slow down.

[Andy]

Yeah. I. Yeah. The CIA is too smart to not be studying this stuff 100%. Like, they were doing this in the 50s. They know like there's so much more to study now. They have more people than ever to like do the work for them.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Andy]

It's crazy.

[Andrew]

All the friggin MK Ultra stuff. And when you look at the actual manipulation they practiced with, it's like, you know, even if it is just like weird little psyops and it's not like this overtly evil thing. It's like, you know, we're being played. You know, they have notes. They learn from what they did constantly. All that crap.

[Hardy]

I agree.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Speaking of CIA, do you guys know that we got it out?

[Andrew]

Don't go anywhere.

[Hardy]

Sunnycool.com sunnycool.com super softy 72 hours shirts, stickers customer work. What other the day? What's the order today of this puzzle that Was missing by one piece?

[Josh]

Say sundaycool.com sundekool.com Order today.

[Hardy]

Order today.

[Andy]

Order today.

[Hardy]

Good job, Jay. It's ordered today for the puzzle that has Nothing in it. Yeah, they're smart, but they are so great.

[Andy]

They're delicious, though.

[Hardy]

Yeah, delicious. Dude, the smartest animals are always delicious. I bet crow is really good.

[Andy]

I'm gonna grab me a raven.

[Hardy]

Dude, get some raven.

[Andy]

Raven burger. Eat a raw.

[Hardy]

Dude, this raw raven. Dude, you won't die.

[Andy]

Spit out the feathers.

[Josh]

What do you think gorilla tastes like?

[Andy]

Probably delicious. It's so. But so muscle.

[Andrew]

Do you. Do you watch that guy? The bow hunter, Bomar beast, broadheads?

[Hardy]

You know, I don't think so, dude.

[Andrew]

He. I forget the monkey he was hunting, but it was hard to watch.

[Hardy]

That's a quote. That's a quote. Just on its own, because you watch.

[Andrew]

It, like, gets hit in the heart, and then it grabs its chest and, like, yells. And it just looks.

[Hardy]

Oh, I have. I have seen that video.

[Josh]

It sounds human.

[Hardy]

Like.

[Andrew]

Like, I'm not judging him. Like, I'm not throwing shade his way, but I don't think I'd be the one to do it.

[Hardy]

No, I don't think I could do that. Anything that, like, can grab it and be like, why have you betrayed me?

[Andy]

That's kind.

[Andrew]

I mean, it literally grabs it and it starts, like, looking around, trying to process, like, what human like.

[Hardy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's. Oh, gosh, why? Yeah, Just.

[Josh]

Why do you have a real.

[Andrew]

Oh, shoot. Hey, let's. Let's transition to something else, all right?

[Josh]

Did you hear about that lady that drank that margarita and died?

[Hardy]

Dude, dude, don't tell me that it wasn't.

[Andy]

There's no way this was by accident.

[Josh]

This is insane.

[Andy]

You heard this.

[Hardy]

I don't know, but margarita is, like, my favorite thing in the world, so don't freak me out here, all right?

[Andy]

This was make your own now two years ago, okay?

[Josh]

This lady, her name was Holly.

[Hardy]

Was this in Mexico?

[Josh]

No, this is the United States at a Mexican restaurant.

[Hardy]

Okay?

[Andy]

Haciendas is what it was called.

[Josh]

She drank a margarita. She goes, oh, my gosh, my mouth is burning. Immediately ran to the restroom, called her mom, was like, something's wrong. I just drank this margarita. It's burning like crazy.

[Andy]

I need to go to the hospital now.

[Josh]

She went to the hospital, and they said it was probably just too spicy. She's like, no, it's burning.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

And it took way too long. They eventually brought her back, looked at her esophagus. They said it looked like hamburger meat.

[Andy]

Oh.

[Josh]

And what had to happen was the kitchen apparently put in an oven cleaner.

[Andy]

Oven and grill cleaner into her margarita.

[Josh]

It's called glitter, but it's like, almost.

[Andy]

The label says corrosive.

[Hardy]

Why would they do that?

[Andy]

That's the thing.

[Hardy]

Did they go to prison for murder?

[Josh]

Here's the thing. She basically, her. She could not consume food anymore, and it was hard for her to breathe.

[Hardy]

Oh, so she survived that experience and.

[Josh]

Then died later two years later.

[Hardy]

Oh, that poor girl.

[Josh]

Yeah. And. Yeah, so died two years later. And they. They. The restaurant's like, we're so sad that she has passed.

[Andy]

Sure.

[Josh]

We have fired the people that were involved.

[Andy]

Oh, it's like, okay, close down the restaurant. They're still open.

[Josh]

Oven cleaner.

[Hardy]

I would own that entire. I would. Dude, that's insane.

[Andy]

It's crazy.

[Hardy]

Hold up.

[Andrew]

But.

[Hardy]

But, like, they. How did they.

[Andy]

Why.

[Hardy]

How. Why did they put oven cleaner in the thing? Like, what. I don't. Like, did they get it from under the sink and be like, you don't know.

[Andy]

It comes in boxes in gallon jugs.

[Hardy]

It's not up there by margarita thing.

[Josh]

And if it's.

[Hardy]

If it's a Mexican restaurant, there's a bar. And the guy at the bar.

[Andy]

Right.

[Josh]

Pretty blatant.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

It was poured on her drink.

[Hardy]

Did it happen to anybody else?

[Josh]

Just her.

[Hardy]

Dude, come on.

[Andy]

That. It's insane, right?

[Hardy]

Small town.

[Josh]

I actually don't know.

[Andy]

It's weird, right?

[Hardy]

Yeah, dude, that's the crazy.

[Andy]

There's a Netflix documentary in the making right now.

[Josh]

This is the new clue.

[Hardy]

For real.

[Andy]

Dude in the bar with the oven cleaner.

[Hardy]

That's crazy. God, man, that's. That's terrible. Makes you want to be nice to everybody all the time, you know?

[Josh]

For real.

[Andy]

You can't trust anything.

[Hardy]

That is really crazy.

[Andy]

It's wild.

[Josh]

I mean, that. But no one's been charged. No one's been questioned.

[Hardy]

It seems like is her family not, like, raising. Raising hell about it?

[Josh]

From what I've seen, her mom is.

[Hardy]

Like, I would be too.

[Andrew]

I.

[Josh]

There needs to be criminal charges.

[Hardy]

I would 100 be.

[Andrew]

Especially.

[Hardy]

That girl suffered for two years.

[Josh]

Two years.

[Andy]

That's not horrible. That's not just, like, minor negligence. No, that's a. That has to be purposeful.

[Josh]

It's terrible.

[Andy]

That's not like they just had oven cleaner in one of their, like, bottles with the topper on it. Unless it gets. Oh, that was the oven cleaner.

[Josh]

Oh, what are we doing?

[Andy]

Like, we just have one of those oven cleaners just, like, in those, like, regular, like, bar bottles with, like, a black top and.

[Hardy]

Yeah, maybe it's even deeper, though. And maybe somebody. Ah, no, because more people would have gotten it. Whoever made that drink did that on.

[Josh]

Purpose, it seems like.

[Hardy]

No other way to explain that.

[Andrew]

That.

[Hardy]

Because how many margaritas you serve a night? 100 at a. Even at a small.

[Andy]

At a Mexican restaurant?

[Hardy]

Yeah. Hundreds probably.

[Andy]

The fact that she had to deal with it for two years.

[Hardy]

That's horrible. That poor girl.

[Josh]

No esophagus.

[Andy]

Horrifying. Dude, that's crazy. You have to do something about that. Yeah, like, that's nutso.

[Hardy]

No, sophagus. Kind of sounds like a philosopher, like back in the day.

[Andy]

Oh, no esophagus.

[Josh]

To quote, no esophagus.

[Andy]

So funny.

[Josh]

Yeah. You got something?

[Andrew]

Yeah, I got a couple things I wish I never saw.

[Andy]

Oh, cool.

[Hardy]

All right.

[Andy]

Pull up your phone. He just sent it to us.

[Josh]

Oh.

[Andy]

No esophagus. Party's here.

[Josh]

Oh, oh, Andrew's got a reel.

[Andy]

Andrew's got a reel.

[Hardy]

And he's gonna show us right now.

[Josh]

All right.

[Andrew]

All right. Speaking of snakes.

[Andy]

The first one.

[Andrew]

First one. Yep.

[Andy]

Okay, Here we go.

[Josh]

3, 2, 1.

[Andrew]

These Asian eating videos are just low hanging fruit.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Watch it.

[Hardy]

Oh, my God. Oh, it's an eel. Oh, my God, bro.

[Andy]

Golly, dude.

[Hardy]

Ozzy Osbourne, eat your heart out, Dude. That's.

[Andy]

Dude. So cheap. Poured that in there and expected the snake to jump up.

[Josh]

I think it's an eel.

[Hardy]

It isn't. It's an eel. Oh. But what's in the. I want to know.

[Andy]

My eyes are watering, dude.

[Josh]

Oven cleaner that she poured in there.

[Hardy]

Dude.

[Andrew]

And speaking of snakes. Wipe.

[Hardy]

Okay, three. I saw this earlier today.

[Andrew]

Dude.

[Josh]

That the most true.

[Hardy]

That's impressive. Dude.

[Andrew]

I'm gonna have to blur this one.

[Hardy]

It touched the ground. It touched the ground before it broke off at the end. That's what's most important. It touched the ground before it broke off at the end.

[Andy]

You can't even show this.

[Andrew]

Why would you blur it? I'll blur it.

[Hardy]

Okay. Can I. Can I tell you guys something?

[Andy]

Where is he at?

[Andrew]

Who knows?

[Hardy]

In the parking garage.

[Andrew]

Yeah, I'm just. I'm both appalled and impressed.

[Hardy]

You guys have to cut this. But I have to tell you, I have a video and I'll show it to you later. Please, you have to cut this.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah.

[Hardy]

Should I pull up now?

[Andy]

Okay, we can do it. Okay, we'll do it after. We'll do it right after because this is where. Exactly where we cut back to the episode. Dude, this is. That's crazy.

[Andrew]

To not disappoint anyone. That one will not be on Patreon.

[Andy]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Hardy]

And it's not super graphic, but it's just. You're just like. Oh my God. That's.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

That's insane.

[Andrew]

That's brotherly.

[Andy]

I can't imagine.

[Hardy]

Dude.

[Andrew]

It is.

[Hardy]

That is like, that is, that is beyond blood brothers.

[Andy]

Yeah. The epitome of.

[Hardy]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Being a bro. That's amazing.

[Hardy]

It's really good though.

[Andy]

It's really funny, dude. Hardy. Have you seen these AI robots? Yeah. That have like, that are like. People are buying like $20,000 worth.

[Josh]

Not even AI robots, they're just robots.

[Andy]

Robots that are like doing chores for you in the house.

[Hardy]

Yes. But I saw, I saw a commercial, advertisement, whatever you want to call it for one and I didn't believe it.

[Andy]

It's real.

[Hardy]

Is it the blind guy that's like hello, I'm Sven, you can buy.

[Andy]

I, I don't know about that but it's like these like grayish, like white.

[Andrew]

I don't know about that.

[Andy]

They're like these grayish like white robots that like, just like that are $20,000. $20,000. You could buy them right now. You can buy them on pre order and they show up in your house.

[Josh]

And they do all your chores.

[Andy]

They do, they do laundry, they do dishes, they do vacuuming, mopping, all this stuff. And they're full human size and they're very cute looking.

[Hardy]

I've seen it. I have a. There's. I gotta find the thread. But yes. Is it. It's real.

[Andy]

They're 100% real. But the thing is, here's the catch. Right now they're saying like listen, later on we're going to get this technology that does house mapping and you're able to have this robot in your house and do whatever you want in your house. But right now we don't have that technology. So you pay $20,000 right now and we give you this robot. The only catch is that the robot is ran via someone else in the country.

[Hardy]

No, dude.

[Andy]

Working with a VR headset in hand motion like, like grab grapples and they're doing the stuff for you. And so there's. They're staying inside your house and they're walking through your house, they're doing your laundry, they're doing their chores, but it's a real person somewhere else controlling this robot.

[Hardy]

Anybody that could afford a twenty thousand dollar robot would not want somebody knowing what the inside of their house.

[Josh]

That's what I'm saying.

[Andrew]

That's what I'm saying.

[Hardy]

That's.

[Andy]

It's crazy, right?

[Hardy]

Can you, can you vet the person that's doing it?

[Andy]

I know who it is.

[Josh]

That was my Thing you were dose the colitis guy?

[Andy]

Dude, that's the guy. I trust him with my life.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Come in my house, bro, with everything.

[Andy]

Administer my medicine. I don't care.

[Hardy]

So are they. Do they. Are they. Is this, like, cyber truck where in, like, a couple years you're gonna finally get it, or is it. Are they delivering them now? I think they're.

[Andy]

I think it's available now.

[Josh]

Yeah, it's. I think it's. Or within the next, like, 6.

[Andrew]

20.

[Josh]

26. Yeah. Yeah. You can get them in your house. But I wonder if they're like, you get it and then eventually it'll be AI.

[Andy]

That's the thing. That's their promise, is that like. Like, we don't have the technology right now, but. So, like, yes, someone else around the country, around the world will be controlling this robot. And it's going to work great, whatever. But later on, we hope to get that technology, that we're ahead. House mapping. And it's able to do it by itself.

[Hardy]

Have you worn the Oculus or whatever or what? Whichever one.

[Andy]

I got one. Yeah.

[Hardy]

They're not like. They're super glitchy. Like, I feel like if you did that, it would be, like, the bookshelf and you, like, knock on. Yeah, it just. It seems like you couldn't, like, sweep a floor. You'd be, like, sweeping all over the place.

[Andy]

And they look super slow. Like, there was, like, videos of them, like, delivering drinks to you on the couch and stuff. And it was like. Literally, it took them, like, five minutes left.

[Hardy]

But that's the thing.

[Andy]

It's like, people probably won't care. People who are paying $20,000 for a nanny or like a robotic nanny.

[Hardy]

Yeah, it's like, what's different? What's the Jetsons? What's her name?

[Josh]

Rosie. Oh, yeah.

[Hardy]

God, please not. That's my daughter's name. I think it is. Is it Rose?

[Josh]

Oh, no.

[Hardy]

Weird.

[Andy]

Yeah, that'd be strange. But it's just weird, man. Like, it's just. It's. It's super creepy.

[Hardy]

I think that we live in a world where. I mean. I mean, that's like, Truman is. Rosie.

[Andrew]

Rosie the road.

[Andy]

Oh, no.

[Hardy]

I cannot wait to tell my wife that. You know, when I get home, I'm gonna be like, let's watch an episode of the jets.

[Andy]

And then, like, let her be the one. Be like, oh, no. Why did you choose that?

[Hardy]

Yikes, man. I. Yeah, that's.

[Andrew]

I don't like.

[Andy]

But you would have to leave reviews for that. Like, you would have to, like, because I'm. My first thought was like, stalkers. Stalkers would. To be like the robot in your house.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

It's like Lyft. It's like lift and Uber where it's like, you know, murder.

[Andy]

Like you have to.

[Hardy]

Traffickers and crap like that.

[Andrew]

Yeah. That's interesting. I wonder if it's a rotating thing.

[Hardy]

Thing.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

Like, does somebody wake up that day and they're just any random. Yeah, I love that because you have.

[Andy]

To have work ethic. Like, you have to be good at doing what you're doing. Like folding laundry. It's like.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Andy]

I don't want just like some average Joe that's just trying to make a paycheck.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Andy]

I want somebody who's nervous about what I'm doing. Mom.

[Hardy]

His whole life and never folded a piece of laundry in his life.

[Andy]

Dude. You know, like, what has happened? Why is this worse than, like, not being done at all?

[Andrew]

Because we always talk about the problem of like. Like people falling in love with the robot because the robot is like actually talking to them. But then the problem of the person on the other side of the robot pouring themselves out for someone, there's that weird, like, psychological attachment that can happen.

[Andy]

This robot does laundry and my husband doesn't.

[Andrew]

Oof.

[Andy]

Oh, boy.

[Hardy]

That's a whole new.

[Andy]

It's black mirror.

[Andrew]

Dude.

[Hardy]

This whole layer of therapy that you would have to. Yeah, yeah, that's gonna happen, dude. My thing is like, you. It would have. You would have to. There. You would have to show me proof that there's a firewall. That this robot cannot download violence into his. His or her.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

Robot brain. And wake up one day and just be doing this to you while you're sleeping in bed and choking you to death.

[Andy]

But they would know where you live. They would know the inside of your house. They would know your. All your privacy.

[Hardy]

I feel like that's never. That's not gonna fly unless you did it for like a hundred dollars, which is impossible.

[Andy]

Like, but it's happening a lot.

[Josh]

A lot of people will be open to it, though.

[Andy]

It's 100% going to be a reality five years from now. It's going to be normal.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Like, we have Whambo's. We have all these like. Like, I saw it in.

[Hardy]

What's Lambo.

[Andy]

Like the. Just the taxis that have. Oh, yeah, yeah. No drivers.

[Hardy]

Right.

[Andy]

And it's just. That's just a normal thing now. In big cities, you just have taxis that just don't have drivers. You know, be really 100% normal now.

[Josh]

Is to buy one of these robots and just, like, maybe, like, put it just, like, in a haunted house.

[Hardy]

Oh, my God.

[Andy]

Yeah. Just, like, figure it out.

[Josh]

Figure out. I need you to sweep this whole house. It's like, the scariest thing for this.

[Andy]

Person to fix the holy water.

[Hardy]

Oh, my God.

[Andrew]

Dude.

[Andy]

Honestly. That's where the next level of prank videos on YouTube are going to be. They're going to buy one of these AI robots spots, and they're gonna be like, just do chores, and then they're gonna have someone, like, their friend break in and, like, start doing things like, what do I do?

[Andrew]

What do I do?

[Hardy]

Put it on a roller coaster.

[Andy]

This is what I need you to do.

[Hardy]

I need you to do this for me.

[Andy]

Vomiting up in his home in Korea. I didn't sign up for this. I thought I was good laundry. It is crazy. That's. That's the thing. There are flaws that come with humans.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

And there's a sinful nature. And so, like, there's stuff that's just, like.

[Hardy]

It's.

[Andy]

There's gonna be something that goes wrong.

[Hardy]

Well, I just say anything that's made out of, like, metal. I just. That's scary to me, that it's, like.

[Andy]

It's sure.

[Hardy]

Obviously much stronger than a human being. Like, I would never have anything in my house that I could not overpower.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

That's why I never get With a gun or whatever. I never have a Roomba.

[Hardy]

You can't overpower.

[Andy]

I don't think so.

[Hardy]

Okay.

[Andy]

I mean, where do you. How do you chill holding a Roomba out? You know, it's like.

[Hardy]

It's like BattleBots.

[Andy]

It's like, I think there's a knife gonna be spinning out of this thing.

[Hardy]

It may be.

[Andy]

Dude, have you seen that video? It was a university, and they have AI policing surveillance robots flying around this the university. And they called the police because they saw a kid walking around with a gun. And so. So the AI robot calls the police. Hundreds of police show up, and they get this kid who happens to be black. They pull him out, and guess what he has in his hand. What? A Doritos bag.

[Hardy]

Oh, no.

[Andy]

A Doritos. And it just was.

[Hardy]

It, like, like, crumbled up, and it looked like a gun or something, apparently.

[Andy]

But it's one of those things I.

[Josh]

Heard that, like, he, like, went and, like, threw in the trash can, and they're like, oh, he's trying to get rid of it.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Josh]

Doritos back.

[Andy]

It was the Doritos.

[Hardy]

Poor guy.

[Andy]

And he he was held at gunpoint, this kid. He was just walking back to his dorm and it's like, what are we doing?

[Andrew]

I tell you what though, is free.

[Hardy]

Oh man. Not even college of his life probably. That's crazy.

[Andy]

It better be. That's like that. It's stuff like that that's insane to me. Was that in the U.S. yeah.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

I did not hear about that.

[Andy]

Somewhere in the South.

[Josh]

What.

[Hardy]

What university?

[Andy]

I can't. I all have to look it up. I. I haven't seen.

[Hardy]

I'm honestly very curious. Like a. In the South. The school with a lot of money apparently.

[Andy]

Speaking of which, Baltimore. Baltimore, Sorry.

[Andrew]

Not.

[Andy]

Not super south. So Maryland.

[Hardy]

That's like a. That's an arguable.

[Josh]

It's like South Kingston.

[Hardy]

That's below the Mason Dixon. Technically.

[Andy]

Yeah. But yeah, Baltimore. But it's like. That's crazy to me.

[Hardy]

Yeah, that should not be a thing, I think until it's absolutely perfected.

[Andy]

No, we have. We have cop. Cop cars in Florida that are fully AI. There's no self. There's no driver self driving and it's literally just surveilling and it'll alert when there is activity that the. The police need to know about.

[Hardy]

But then by that time the.

[Andy]

Exactly.

[Hardy]

The person's gone. Unless it's like. Unless they have no idea which.

[Andy]

It seems like it's being implemented too fast.

[Andrew]

Agreed.

[Andy]

Like it just needs to like there needs to be a lot.

[Hardy]

Get it perfect first.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

And then do it. If you're gonna do it at all.

[Andy]

You can't tell me they're practicing this stuff for years because it's just like. This stuff is just available now.

[Hardy]

Yeah. It seems like the lawsuits are gonna run companies like this out of business before they even take off.

[Andy]

Even SORA is like being banned and sued right now for like the MLK videos.

[Josh]

Oh really?

[Andy]

The Sword 2 videos. Have you seen that? Like Sword 2, like the all the AI videos MLK is doing.

[Hardy]

Oh, I've seen. They're not funny. They're not funny at all.

[Andy]

No, not. But.

[Hardy]

And like Bob Ross. Have you seen the Bob Ross?

[Andy]

So good.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah.

[Hardy]

But.

[Andy]

But yeah, SORA is now like they've completely banned anything MLK version simply because of like, you know, anything they've built out. But it's like. Well, it's almost like where do you draw the line?

[Hardy]

Well, it's like it's. It's not slander cuz it's not real. But it's like it's affects your name and likeness and like. Like Arguably, many people over the age of maybe 65 years old are going to believe that. And then for the rest of your life, like, they're going to be like, oh, Bob Ross actually had a filthy mouth and did terrible things. Yeah, Mr. Rogers. Like, all these things, and it's like, you know, can ruin your reputation for a lot of people. Although it was never true.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

In the past. In the past month, I've seen so many news article, like. Like Tik Tok pages, Instagram pages, post AI videos.

[Andrew]

Oh, it's bad, dude.

[Andy]

It's crazy.

[Hardy]

Every YouTube ad when I'm watching stuff, there's. There's.

[Andrew]

I do.

[Hardy]

Oh, y'.

[Andrew]

All.

[Hardy]

Being in Florida, when I was at the beach the whole time, it's like, oh, oh, man. It was like a. I'm a state trooper in Florida. Have y' all seen that one?

[Josh]

No.

[Hardy]

It's like, you know how they can localize ads or whatever?

[Andy]

Sure.

[Hardy]

Oh, man, I can't think of it, but it's like you can hear the. The, like digitized that. The low quality thing in the vocal.

[Andrew]

It's like, I haven't seen that. They must have it fenced up there, I guess.

[Andy]

I just saw an AI one when we were turning on this YouTube video. I just saw it, like, it was like some speaker, like, doing, like a fake TED Talk. I could tell immediately it was AI. Yeah, but for anyone older, I mean.

[Hardy]

My dad, like, sent me a video of a guy just killing a really good buck, unaliving a really good buck the other day. And he was like, is this AI? And I was like, no, that's just a God hunting. But then he sent me another one of a guy sitting in a deer stand, and there was like 10,000 squirrels and. And there was a guy videoing the guy that was, like, hunting, and he was like, hold still, buddy. They're all. It's all, you know, it's like very AI and dad. And my dad has a story where he saw. If you can Google it, this is a rabbit hole. But the great squirrel migration of, like 1969 or something, it was a real thing that happened in the south. And my dad witnessed it in Kemper County, Mississippi. And he was like. I was sitting in a deer stand, and I saw this wave of like a million squirrel came through at one time. So he sends me this video the other day.

[Andy]

It's happening again, dude.

[Hardy]

I swear to God. He was like, this is what I saw. And I was like, dad, that one is AI. And you could tell it was AI, but, yeah, I. I, like, worry about that for not just, like, my parents, but, like, older people that can't really pick up on it as quickly as.

[Andy]

Dude, I fall younger.

[Hardy]

I. Dude, there are some out there.

[Andy]

100%.

[Hardy]

I don't understand how you can, like, I don't understand how AI can animate something that looks so real. It's not like Pixar. It's real. It's like that. That, to me, blows my mind. I don't know how they.

[Andrew]

The watermark has saved a lot of people on that, so.

[Hardy]

Yeah, thank God.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Andy]

But people have, like, you know, like, zoomed in, scaled in, and, like. And just really edited it. Like, I've fallen for it in the past week, and it's blown my mind.

[Hardy]

There's some good ones out there.

[Andrew]

I'll tell you what blows my mind is the fact that this dude's one of the top country music artists and is still watching YouTube ads.

[Hardy]

I'm too lazy to get the premium.

[Andrew]

Dude.

[Andy]

Also that he's here. That's the craziest part. That's the craziest one.

[Hardy]

You guys are the homies.

[Josh]

I think it's crazy that we move past this squirrel migration.

[Hardy]

Okay.

[Andrew]

I know.

[Josh]

Okay. All right.

[Hardy]

Somebody Google it right now.

[Andy]

The.

[Hardy]

The great squirrel migration of 1960. Something. My dad was born in 1961, so he was younger, but he t. He swears on his life. And my best friend who actually lives in Nice or is from Niceville, said that there was this guy growing up that swore to God that he was fishing up, like, in the bay and saw, like, a hundred thousand squirrels, like, running down the beach and. Da.

[Andrew]

Da.

[Hardy]

And. And he was like. We always made fun of him. And I was like, no, dude, that was real. My dad saw the same thing.

[Andy]

Thing.

[Hardy]

But apparently there was a giant, like, acorn or nut shortage in the southeast, and they moved. And it's. It's a real thing, like.

[Josh]

Like a. Like a one day or, like, one week kind of thing.

[Hardy]

I'm not sure the time span, but I'm sure it was, like, over the course of a few weeks of maybe they all were together, but they all just got together and they just moved.

[Andy]

Dude, how scary would that be?

[Josh]

If you're on the beach a hundred.

[Andy]

Thousand and you're so, like, the sound of it creeping up, you're like, what is that noise?

[Andrew]

Like, so apparently it was, like, nuts.

[Hardy]

What year was it?

[Andy]

It would be nuts.

[Andrew]

68, 67. There was a huge crop, and then the next year, it like. Like, famine. There was no crop. And so everything just went looking for food. And apparently I can't find the number. But apparently it was like a crazy roadkill phenomenon. Like, people were just driving in the southeast, right.

[Andy]

Like, or in the.

[Hardy]

This part of the country.

[Andrew]

Dude, shoot. Hold on. Let me. Let me find.

[Andy]

That is crazy.

[Hardy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

That's insane.

[Hardy]

My dad swear. My dad is not the kind of person to ever over. Over embellish. And he was like, dude.

[Andy]

Yeah. Like sitting in a tree.

[Hardy]

And I heard this just like, like, noise. And he's like. I looked up and here comes like, like probably 50, 000 squirrels. And he said they came through like in a wave. And then after like 10 minutes, they were just gone.

[Andy]

No one would believe you.

[Hardy]

That's crazy. That's like crazier than Bigfoot.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

You come back to the deer camp and everyone's like, ah, get out of here, dude.

[Andy]

Yeah, they all join together like an actual squirrel. Like. Like they build like. Like a thousand foot squirrel.

[Hardy]

Maybe.

[Andrew]

That's.

[Andy]

That.

[Hardy]

That is Bigfoot, actually.

[Andrew]

It's just.

[Hardy]

It's a bunch of squirrels together.

[Andy]

Yeah, we figured it out.

[Andrew]

Yeah. It was the. It was like all over the east. So I guess it was like a widespread weather phenomenon.

[Andy]

That's crazy, dude.

[Josh]

I've never heard that.

[Andy]

The great squirrel.

[Hardy]

The great squirrel migration.

[Josh]

That's insane, dude.

[Andy]

What if that. That. What if that's the purpose of AI like where like, they show things like, of historical events sense to prove that, like, oh, it wasn't real? Stuff like that. Like, because, like, they showed like, whatever. The AI Video of the squirrels.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Going nuts. Yeah, it's like. Yeah, it's like. Yeah, exactly. There we go. Acorns. But like. Yeah, that's crazy. That's crazy to me.

[Josh]

It's insane.

[Andy]

Weird.

[Josh]

Speaking of insane.

[Andy]

Don't say it.

[Josh]

We went to the Parthenon today.

[Andrew]

Oh, yeah.

[Andy]

In Nashville. The original.

[Hardy]

Yeah, the real one.

[Josh]

It's pretty cool.

[Andy]

You've been there?

[Hardy]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

The inside is really cool.

[Josh]

Yeah, they have that giant statue of Athena. Athena. Yeah. Super creepy.

[Andy]

But Athena's the God of. Goddess of. It's like something sky or winerals. Squirrels. We figured it out.

[Josh]

No, I saw this one picture though, and it said, like, this picture was taken like 1901 and it had the Parthenon, but there's like weeds growing all around it.

[Andrew]

Like, that's weird.

[Josh]

Like, how old is this thing? And so I started researching it today.

[Andrew]

Sure.

[Josh]

It was built in 1897.

[Andrew]

Whoa.

[Andy]

In Nashville.

[Josh]

In Nashville. Which Nashville is apparently called the Athens.

[Hardy]

Of the south or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, that's ringing a bell.

[Andy]

1897.

[Josh]

1897. It was built for the Tennessee Centennial and International Expos. Position.

[Hardy]

So have you ever like a World fair type thing?

[Josh]

Like a World Fair kind of thing? But it was in Nashville, Tennessee.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Josh]

So I'm looking up all these old pictures. I'm like, this is wild. So like, let me see these pictures real quick. Yeah, it was. I mean, look at these. But there's like a pyramid built right by this where the Parthenon is.

[Andy]

What?

[Andrew]

That's crazy.

[Andy]

Dude.

[Hardy]

This is first photo. But I've.

[Andy]

This is Tartaria all over again.

[Josh]

This is a theory. This is a theory because I. I tried to find like, oh, what's that building?

[Hardy]

That's not even a. That's not even there. No, the majority Capitol building looking thing.

[Josh]

Yeah, the. The. They say that all these buildings around the Parthenon, including the Parthenon, were built as temporary for this fair. So they were only erected for one year, then torn. Torn down.

[Andrew]

That's insane.

[Josh]

And it's like, why. This is weird.

[Andy]

Wow.

[Josh]

But the theory, it's. It goes back. This is a really weird theory. And I've never actually really been a fan of this theory. But the mud. The mud flood theory.

[Andrew]

Mud.

[Hardy]

Mud flood. Ben name you filthy.

[Andy]

Mud flood.

[Josh]

Mud flood. Crap. Was it crap?

[Hardy]

Attack. Crap attack. Iridosiculitis.

[Josh]

Iridosiculitis.

[Andrew]

Potter.

[Josh]

But yeah, the mud flood theory is that they actually found the Parthenon in mud and they excavated it. And when they discovered it, that's when they decided to do this Centennial Expedition Exposition fair and like show all these other buildings.

[Hardy]

Wait, wait, in Nashville.

[Josh]

In Nashville.

[Andy]

What?

[Josh]

So the theory is that it's this like tartarian civilization to where they like the Parthenon has arcs. Yeah. Pre existed, but like the same architecture as like different building. Like Washington D.C. and over in Europe. It's been this one civilization that was at some point all over the world. The tartarian civilization. And then this massive mud flood happened and it wiped these people out. And that these people in Nashville found the Parthenon and they dug it up and they're like, this is crazy. We need to make this into something. What year this was in 1897, when they said that they built it.

[Hardy]

What year did they think it would have been like, built?

[Josh]

I don't know.

[Andrew]

Well, it would have. It would have had to have been around that year because they would have built everything else as an excuse for what?

[Andy]

No, it was 1897. Was.

[Josh]

They built it is when they say that they built it.

[Andy]

Okay, but what's the theory of like.

[Hardy]

When it was discovered?

[Andrew]

I guess is.

[Josh]

Yeah, I think it was like, like around like, like a thousand ish years ago. Interesting. Where this tartarian civilization was all over the world. And that's why a lot of this architecture, they said that we had like Nikola Tesla tapped into this tartarian thing and like the free energy and like a lot of these buildings have these things on top of them to where it could like, harness energy.

[Hardy]

Right.

[Josh]

Like electricity.

[Hardy]

Like the big tall things, balls on them and all that kind of crazy stuff.

[Josh]

Yeah. So the same thing that's like all over the world, especially the U.S. but then something happened to where every. All of it was wiped out. And then we started over again and stuff like the Parthenon was discovered in that rediscovery.

[Hardy]

That's pretty wild.

[Josh]

It's probably bull crap. Yeah. It's cool though.

[Andy]

I don't crap.

[Hardy]

A man can dream.

[Andy]

I don't think so, dude. Because the world's Colombian exposition that happened in 1893 in Chicago. Like, have you ever seen that? The Chicago, like World Fair? No, dude, it's.

[Josh]

That's a crazy one.

[Andy]

That one's nutso. Because you have all these things that happen in the. In the state fair, but you have all these incredibly intricate architectural buildings built in Chicago. They. They said that was just built for the state fair. It's nuts. I mean.

[Andrew]

Yeah, it's like full, like D.C. look, why would.

[Hardy]

Why would you tear it down, though?

[Andrew]

That's what. That's what I'm saying. It's weird to pop this stuff up.

[Andy]

Historical. Yeah, that stuff happened. That blows my mind. Like, that's the kind of things that, like that you just don't. I don't know.

[Josh]

They're saying that this Parthenon thing, it was so erected in 1897. And then they. After the whole exposition was over. So like a year. But it wasn't until. What was it, like 19, I think 1901 or 1905, they decided to like. Let's keep the Parthenon and like actually structurally, like put real concrete and stuff on it. Like, let's make this a pillar of Nashville.

[Hardy]

Right.

[Josh]

It's just weird though, that like the.

[Hardy]

Big like Capitol building looking thing and all that. That's strange that they. I don't understand why brought.

[Josh]

Why was a temporary building for one year that that thing was built.

[Hardy]

But why not like, repurpose it for anything you could. Anything you want to.

[Josh]

Anything.

[Hardy]

Make it a trampoline. Park, dude, whatever.

[Josh]

Sky zone. Parthenon. Sky zone.

[Andrew]

Crazy.

[Andy]

Look what I just sent you in the. The chat. 1893.

[Josh]

Yeah, this is the.

[Andy]

This was Chicago.

[Josh]

And this was also a temporary thing that only lasted a year.

[Hardy]

That.

[Andy]

I don't believe that, dude.

[Hardy]

I just don't understand why you would tear it down.

[Andy]

Like, it's. It's maybe one of those things where it's like, I don't understand, like, why they stopped building, like, trucks out of actual metal.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Like in the 80s. Like, they just like. Like we have trucks that are made of plastic and stuff now. And maybe they built things back then. They didn't understand how like, you know, like how precious certain materials were. But this is crazy. Yeah, like, that's nutso.

[Hardy]

Yeah, that's wild.

[Andy]

Why don't we have that pyramid in Nashville now?

[Hardy]

They moved it to the area. They moved it to Memphis, dude.

[Andrew]

Yeah, they did. Yeah.

[Hardy]

They turned it into a bass pro.

[Andy]

Shops turned into glass and turned into a bass Pro.

[Josh]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andrew]

200 million.

[Josh]

That pyramid that you saw was for Memphis. So it's a represent Memphis, which is Memphis, Egypt.

[Andy]

But when did the glass.

[Hardy]

Wait, is that real? Am I what?

[Andrew]

No, no.

[Josh]

Yeah, dead serious.

[Hardy]

So wait, the pyramid's that old also?

[Andy]

You just guessed that.

[Josh]

No, no, no.

[Hardy]

Okay, sorry. No, that went over my head.

[Josh]

I didn't explain that. Well, the. The pyramid that you saw in that old picture right by the Parthenon. So it was the. The Tennessee centennials, like the 100 year celebration of Tennessee. So Memphis was highlighted there as a pyramid to represent Egypt, which Memphis, the God in Egypt shipped. And so that's why the pyramid was by the Parthenon.

[Hardy]

Oh, okay, cool.

[Andy]

But that. The Capitol building looking thing behind the Parthenon was. Looks bigger.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

I mean, why not keep that. Why keep the Greek thing here?

[Josh]

It's weird.

[Hardy]

Yeah.

[Andy]

I didn't realize the Parthenon was that old. I thought it was kind of a newer thing.

[Hardy]

No, it's 1897. Yeah.

[Andy]

That's crazy.

[Josh]

Before Annie, any huge building in like Nashville's built. Yeah, the Parthenon was.

[Andy]

That's what. That's what blows my mind. Everything was basically built around that pretty much. Because, I mean, like, Nashville was nothing a hundred years ago. Like, that was.

[Josh]

It was just over 100 years ago.

[Andy]

It was just houses.

[Hardy]

Yeah, kind of.

[Andy]

I mean, and just like tiny buildings. That had to been the biggest structure in Nashville.

[Hardy]

It was probably the biggest structure. But I mean, Nashville was big. Like the. It was. It was surprisingly, actually a pretty big city. Even 150 years ago. But.

[Andy]

But the parthon had have been bigger than anything by far.

[Hardy]

By far. Yeah.

[Andy]

Yeah, that's like. That's like. So like that had have been like a big significant structure within the city.

[Hardy]

Yeah, totally.

[Josh]

That just seems like a. A weird first giant building to build in a city.

[Andy]

That's. That's where I'm stuck on. Yeah, that's like what I can't believe. Like, unless they didn't build it.

[Andrew]

That's.

[Andy]

Hey. The watchers. The mud flood, dude, it wasn't there. The mud flood happened. It was there.

[Josh]

I mean, look at that picture, dude. It's like. There's nothing. It looks like Baron all around.

[Hardy]

I've seen that. That picture before. That's crazy.

[Josh]

It's weird.

[Andy]

I didn't know it was that old. That's blowing my mind.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Did you just realize that? Because today.

[Josh]

Yeah. I saw that the sign in the park. Why are there weeds around it? Yeah. So if it's a black and white photo, it said 1901 before weed eaters and lawnmowers.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

For a roundup.

[Andy]

That's crazy.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

The fact that we could build something that magnificent, but we didn't have a roundup.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

It's kind of wild, right?

[Andrew]

Speaking of, we can figure out weeds. Speaking of chemicals in the ground, I found a conspiracy that I halfway invented. And this. This should scare you. This, this one. This one. This one jacked me up.

[Josh]

I'm going to pee, but I can't hear you from the bathroom, so.

[Hardy]

All right, here we go.

[Andy]

So back in 1983.

[Andrew]

No. So I was born in Maine, and a little social media post from Maine came through my feed, and apparently they've just announced, like, you can't eat deer and turkey in Maine anymore. A bunch of these areas have been closed off. Start looking into it. The ground has been saturated with. I think they're called PFAs. It's like that forever chemical that you hear about, like, people get cancer when they burn them and stuff. Stuff. And so apparently in 2024, they had a spill and they say it was like water treatment and all this other stuff. But if you, like, dive deeper and deeper and deeper into what's in the soil, it's getting in the meat in the venison in these animals. It's fire retardant is one of the things.

[Andy]

I don't think you're allowed to say that in 2025.

[Andrew]

Probably not. Hold on.

[Hardy]

I just slows down fire.

[Andrew]

There we go. Okay. Yeah. So it's all of these. So you remember when they had the big Canadian wildfires, like, all of these fires that are happening, basically, there's two different types of fire suppression that they use over these, and one of them is, like, banned everywhere. The one with red is not, but it decimates fish. And so all of these areas that have been covered in smoke literally have contaminated sources. So we talk about people owning farmland, and if everyone has to bug out, they're literally starting to circulate stories of, like, the things we've used in the past, these environmental hazards are literally making wildlife dangerous to eat. So the narrative that's starting now, like, we're way ahead of it being an actual conspiracy, but they're starting to give reasons why you wouldn't be able to eat venison or reasons you wouldn't be able to eat fish.

[Andy]

Yeah, interesting. And so pushing us towards cities, smart cities.

[Andrew]

It's the smart city agenda. But when you. When you look at a map and you look at, like, all the areas that they were testing for these substances, and then you overlay it with, like, a map of, like, the Canadian, like, all the wildfires, all the smoke, they pretty closely overlay.

[Hardy]

Wow.

[Andrew]

And what's sketchy is if you remember, Florida got hit with smoke from the fires. They actually have found more deposits, more of those PFAs deposited in Florida. We're like a hot spot. It's like, come down through the atmosphere and landed where we are.

[Andy]

Are.

[Hardy]

Wow.

[Andrew]

So it's like polluted jet stream or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Hardy]

It's terrifying.

[Andrew]

But so right now, the language is like, you can't use the. The fire suppressant that has the PFAs. But there's like all these, like, weird legal clauses that it's like, you know, if human life is at stake, you know, the laws get lax. And I mean, like, they should be like, if I'm about to die, cover me in the chemical.

[Josh]

You know what I mean?

[Andrew]

Like, spare me. But I feel like that's kind of opening the door for them to, like, actually, like. Because Bill Gates owns all the farmland, and so Gates, literally everything other than what he owns through fire. Because it's all California, it's all the east coast, and then all that farmland's fine. And so our food source, if this is. If this is like a thing that actually could come into play, our food source would be the GMO stuff. That's like, the only thing that they're going to say, you can eat. Eat.

[Hardy]

Terrifying.

[Andy]

I hate it. So scary. What's the long game in that they.

[Andrew]

Literally say, you can only eat right now in these areas. They're like entire places in the United States where they say you should only eat venison three times a year. What? Yeah. They're using that language already.

[Hardy]

No, there's no way.

[Andy]

Natural game. Yeah, Natural game.

[Andrew]

Because they're drinking the polluted water, and when they test their meat that there's, like, too much of this stuff in it to be safe.

[Andy]

But who started this? That.

[Andrew]

Yeah. But you look up, like, BP oil spill. Like, you look up the stuff that they were doing to disperse the oil. Like, they. They actually found that the stuff that they use actually is an estrogen increaser. Like, it changes populations. And, like, alligators, they get more females out of nowhere. So all the stuff that they're using for these environmental disasters has, like. This is like. We're talking about, you know, limiting population. It has effect there. So they're limiting food. Limiting population.

[Josh]

Weird.

[Andrew]

And it's like.

[Hardy]

Like, wow.

[Andrew]

Whether it's a byproduct of them just trying to, like, throw something at the wall that sticks to solve the immediate problem. I don't know.

[Josh]

What if Bill Gates was like, yeah, climate change, that's not an issue anymore because his whole plan.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Of limiting the population was successful.

[Andrew]

Yeah. That's what I'm saying. He keeps talking about vaccine.

[Josh]

Yeah. And he's just like, we're good.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

All right, now.

[Andy]

We're good, man.

[Josh]

We're going to stop. Everything's fine. You can't have any more children.

[Andy]

We're good. Bill. Bill Gates.

[Andrew]

Gosh, just throwing it out there.

[Josh]

That's weird.

[Andrew]

Baby, fill your freezer now.

[Josh]

I bet you it was Katy Perry, though. Justin Trudeau.

[Andy]

It's always comes down to Katy Perry.

[Josh]

Maybe you're a firework. You can only eat venison three times a year.

[Andy]

That's what she said in the song.

[Josh]

If you play backwards.

[Andy]

Yeah, that's what she says.

[Josh]

Yeah, that's what she said. Yeah.

[Hardy]

I think you're right.

[Andy]

Right? It's so sick, dude.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Here's.

[Andrew]

Here's the hotspot map where they were doing the testing. See how the worst of it's down in Florida?

[Hardy]

Oh, yeah.

[Andrew]

Sure is. Bright red. But that's where they were doing all of the. The scans.

[Hardy]

Wow.

[Andrew]

That gray area is the fire. The. The smoke.

[Hardy]

Smoke, yeah.

[Josh]

Dang.

[Andy]

I hate it.

[Hardy]

I don't know.

[Josh]

Well, speaking of smoke, I think Hardy needs to get back to his baby. Baby Rosie.

[Hardy]

Yeah. No, my baby robot. Dude, that was really good. That was like Michael A little. Good.

[Andrew]

That's a compliment.

[Andy]

That's awesome. Really good.

[Josh]

Speaking of which, I did. I did want to name our next child.

[Andrew]

I.

[Josh]

We had this name picked out, and we're like, oh, this is going to be the next. If we have a girl, it's going to be this. And then I was telling the story the other day of this old, mangy stray dog that we had. I said the name of the dog, and L was like, that's a name that you want to name our next kid? I'm like, oh, my God.

[Hardy]

Such a good name.

[Josh]

I know. We're gonna blurp that because I don't want people to steal it.

[Andy]

You're gonna use it still?

[Josh]

I'm. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Hardy]

That's a good name. But that's.

[Josh]

I love that.

[Hardy]

Really funny.

[Josh]

That dog was disgusting.

[Andy]

I know. I know one lady named. I know one lady named that name.

[Josh]

Really?

[Andy]

She's an incredible lady.

[Andrew]

So many edits. Yeah.

[Hardy]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Take it real slow.

[Josh]

A Jetson sound effect every time.

[Andrew]

Cool.

[Josh]

Well, thank you, Hardy, for.

[Hardy]

Thanks for having me, man. I had a great time.

[Andy]

Thank you so much for coming. So. You could have easily canceled.

[Hardy]

Dude, I. I'm way cooler and better than Dusty Slay.

[Andy]

We love Dusty.

[Hardy]

He's a comedian. He'll roast me to death, dude.

[Andy]

I'm just kidding, dude.

[Hardy]

I hope you feel better.

[Josh]

No. Hardy had surgery. I did. Yeah. Like two days ago. Three days ago.

[Hardy]

I did.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

Outpatient. But we're here, dude.

[Josh]

But he's here. It's awesome. Yeah.

[Andy]

And we're super happy. We had you planned for this day and you at this time. And the fact that you could have easily canceled.

[Hardy]

I'm here, man.

[Andy]

My favorite thing.

[Hardy]

You guys are awesome. I wouldn't have missed the best.

[Andy]

We. We think you're. What you're doing is incredible. We were blown away. The fact that you even think this is worth your time. So.

[Andrew]

Dude, the new album. The new album is love.

[Hardy]

Thank you. Thank you very much, everyone.

[Andy]

Please, please go check out Hardee's new album. Is there anything else you want to plug your tour? You got a tour coming out. You got anything else?

[Andrew]

You and the homie?

[Hardy]

Yeah. Yeah. A tour. Next year. The Country. Country tour. The Hardy Fund.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Hardy]

Let me make sure it's the right website.

[Andy]

Guys, go see Hardy live. Hopefully he'll give us some backstage passes to whenever he comes into Florida. You gotta go hang out with him.

[Josh]

Done.

[Andrew]

You gotta stop coming up in the spring, don't you?

[Hardy]

You do, yeah. Whatever it is, text me. Let's hang but the Hardy Fund. Just Google the Hardy fund. It'll come up.

[Andrew]

I'll pop it on the screen, right?

[Andy]

Absolutely.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Cool. We love you. Anything? Anything else?

[Hardy]

[Andy]

Everyone play. Pray for Hardy. Pray for his kid and his family. Y We love you. We love you guys for coming out, man.

[Josh]

Watch out for the squirrels.

[Hardy]

D Watch out for the great squirrel migration of 2026.

[Andy]

It's gonna happen.

[Hardy]

It's gonna happen.

[Andrew]

I would.

[Josh]

I would love to see that.

[Andy]

I would be terrified, but I would love it.

[Josh]

Yeah. All right, guys. We love you.

[Andy]

We love you.

[Andrew]

Bye.

[Hardy]

Bye.

[Andrew]

What you're about to see.

[Andy]

Wow.

[Hardy]

May disturb you if any of you.

[Andrew]

Know what these multi decade UAP dolphins are.

[Andy]

Aliens.

[Hardy]

Bottle knows. Fish.

[Andrew]

Pigs.

[Hardy]

There's a massive police response.

[Andy]

Oh, the darkened thing Open style attack.
