Welcome to the show, ladies and gentlemen. Today we're going to be learning about the Sicily catacombs. Right there down in Italy. Bodies. Hundreds and thousands of bodies, perfectly preserved. How does it happen? It's almost as if time doesn't exist.

[Bobby]

And did a ghostly heavenly army appear to fight the Nazis in Egypt during World War II? Well, the Nazis sure saw something. And I'm going to tell you all about it.

Yes, I do.

[Demi]

Can you turn my ears up, young man?

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Cameron]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Actually a little too loud for me. Me a little right there.

[Cameron]

Make up your mind.

[Demi]

I'm sorry I'm late, guys.

[Cameron]

Make up your mind. Make up mind.

[Andy]

Gave me a chance to eat my Indian gas station burrito.

[Demi]

Is. You got it from the gas station, is it? Yum.

[Andy]

Oh, yeah.

[Cameron]

Burritos at that gas station. Yeah.

[Demi]

Do they still do chicken?

[Bobby]

No, the crunchy chicken.

[Demi]

Dang.

[Andy]

That.

[Demi]

I used to get that once a week when I worked here.

[Andy]

That was the first gas station. Like, you let me borrow your truck when we came down here to. Before we, you know, after we accepted the job, before we moved down here, you let me borrow your truck and we're, like, gonna go look at just houses. And so we didn't really know how to look for houses, so we went and bought a newspaper to find some places for rent. That's. I'm telling you, dude, we were out of it. And so we just sat down at that gas station. And who knew that I would be falling in love with that gas station?

[Bobby]

Dang.

[Demi]

It's a good one.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Andy]

They're so nice.

[Bobby]

Good vibes.

[Demi]

A little racist.

[Bobby]

They are. They are.

[Andy]

It's America. You can be whatever you want to be.

[Demi]

I love the first house you guys rented. It was so close to us.

[Andy]

Yeah, it was just a little weird. Not a Great neighborhood.

[Demi]

Sorry.

[Andy]

Yeah, it's your fault. It's actually his mom's fault.

[Demi]

Dang.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Is it? Oh, she found it.

[Andy]

She helped look for houses. Yeah, she found that one.

[Bobby]

My mom does mess up a lot.

[Demi]

She's a saint.

[Andy]

I know.

[Demi]

He's a saint of a woman.

[Andy]

She's a wonderful woman, Heather Hooper.

[Bobby]

Easy.

[Andy]

She's beautiful.

[Bobby]

All right, Relax.

[Andy]

Her heart, her soul.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Andy]

You know, it's just wonderful.

[Bobby]

I slept so good last night, but I feel more tired than when. On the nights where I don't sleep good.

[Andy]

Yeah. Isn't that weird?

[Bobby]

It's really annoying how I want to

[Andy]

know the science behind that. Like, how does that work? Because there's times where I'll just draw. I'm like, I'm going to bed at 3 o'. Clock. I cannot fall asleep. But then I'm like, I'm gonna have the worst day tomorrow.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Andy]

And then you have. You wake up and you have three, four hours of sleep, and you're like, I feel great.

[Cameron]

You're still in.

[Demi]

You're.

[Cameron]

You're still in fight or flight. When you have a good night's sleep, your body goes into recovery mode. It thinks it can be laxadaisical and recover. Maybe that's not true.

[Andy]

People call me lackadaisical.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Yeah. Do what?

[Demi]

We saw, like, nine hours last night.

[Andy]

Dang.

[Bobby]

Yeah. I woke up. I. Apparently I was sleeping on both my arms. I woke up and they're both numb. I'm like, oh, yeah.

[Andy]

I. I was laying on my desk chair and I had my feet up on my bed, and I was there for, like 20, 20, 25, 30 minutes. And I set a timer because I had chicken in the oven. And so I said, as soon as I hear that timer, I gotta get up and go. As soon as I heard it and I got up and I literally started walking really quickly, and I almost ate it because my leg was completely asleep. Would just adjust outwards as I was, like, trying to keep it straight. He would just go out and, like, and it wouldn't stop. It was, like, for five minutes, I was like, oh, my gosh.

[Demi]

Yikes.

[Andy]

Terrible.

[Cameron]

He was.

[Demi]

Judge was making me nervous yesterday because anything he would do when he got home, immediately out of breath, like, he would. He would make the bed and he would be out of breath.

[Bobby]

And then this is last night.

[Demi]

Last night. And then he was reading a passage to me of something, and he couldn't really read it at all. And I was like, do a quick analysis. Josh, are you right?

[Andy]

Take a breath, please.

[Demi]

What's going on in your head right now?

[Andy]

Okay.

[Bobby]

I worked out so hard that, like. I mean, I worked out for like an hour and a half.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

And I just like anything I did after that, I'm just like, yeah, that's so fun. Like, I was trying to make the bed. I'm just like, I.

[Cameron]

Every blanket.

[Andy]

It's funny how that one know we had weighted blankets. We don't.

[Cameron]

That one detail changes the story a lot. Yeah.

[Bobby]

It's not just me being fat.

[Cameron]

Get home from work. And just

[Bobby]

speaking of working out.

[Andy]

This day has exhausted me.

[Bobby]

Genesis health.

[Andy]

Genesis Health, baby. Wow.

[Bobby]

We getting this shape. Yeah. Shape. Some people online are saying guys are starting to look pretty good.

[Andy]

They're only saying that about you. So let's just be clear. No, let's just be clear, but not true. I am losing weight. I am down. What is it, £15 now?

[Bobby]

What?

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Demi]

That's insane. How do you feel?

[Andy]

Good. I mean, which is a bummer, because this is like, the weight I started at three years ago when we had that weight loss competition. I was like, man, I'm out of shape. And so now I'm at that weight. I was previously Andy. I feel like when I thought I was out of shape, I feel like

[Cameron]

She's a bit sad, isn't it?

[Cameron]

Bit sad in it.

[Andy]

Isn't it disgusting?

[Demi]

Yeah, a little bit yucky.

[Cameron]

You're a yucky, yucky man.

[Bobby]

Speaking of yucky, we have to talk about something yucky.

[Demi]

Oh, gosh.

[Andy]

Do we?

[Bobby]

Hopefully not.

[Andy]

Okay. Yeah.

[Bobby]

Depends on what you think. Lily, we got a question. There's a lot of. A lot of labeling happening out there.

[Cameron]

Your face is crazy like that.

[Bobby]

Crazy. I've never seen you make that face. See, Kelsey, we'll just get on with it. Today's questions. Guys, stop, please. This is really serious. Lily, listen. Listen carefully. Listen closely. Open your ears because this question is delicate. Today's Question sended by a viewer. Is studying abroad good? Is studying abroad good?

[Demi]

I can sense where this is going.

[Andy]

Yes or no question. It's very simple.

[Bobby]

Studying abroad good.

[Demi]

I sense where this is going.

[Bobby]

I don't care what you sense. Answer the question.

[Demi]

No.

[Bobby]

Okay.

[Cameron]

That's kind of shocking coming from her.

[Andy]

Yeah, you would think. Yeah, you would think she would answer differently.

[Bobby]

So studying abroad is not good. What about culture? What about people expanding their horizons? Expanding their horizons.

[Cameron]

You're learning who's always wanting to travel?

[Bobby]

Yeah. So all these foreign exchange students, you're like, no.

[Andy]

You hate foreign exchange students? Is that what you're saying?

[Demi]

No.

[Cameron]

And they're here on legal terms, Although

[Demi]

I think they should pay a million dollars to go to school here.

[Bobby]

Okay, Fishback, listen, I'm being serious. The fact that you don't support people coming in to this country or people in the United States traveling abroad to study, I don't know, ancient Rome, literature, literature, mathematics, philosophy, all of this. Hey.

[Andy]

Yeah. Okay.

[Bobby]

You just. You're probably on this whole agenda. This, like, communist, like agenda, or read the books, do this, do that.

[Cameron]

Science is God.

[Bobby]

No, that's probably what you think.

[Demi]

It's not.

[Bobby]

Why you get off your phone?

[Demi]

I was going to show you. This is incredibly rude. After this.

[Andy]

After this. I don't think there is going to be an after this.

[Bobby]

Why did you say no?

[Demi]

Because I thought that you were going to say is studying abroad, as in a woman.

[Bobby]

Are you kidding me?

[Andy]

That's disgusting.

[Bobby]

That's disgusting.

[Demi]

Am I right? I.

[Andy]

When you hear broad. I would never connect that to a woman.

[Bobby]

Think that was even a term. But that's an incredibly derogatory term.

[Cameron]

Yes. That's the first thing that you thought of?

[Bobby]

That's the first thing that you thought of?

[Andy]

You were going to do.

[Bobby]

First thing that you thought of. Daughters. You have daughters? Oh, gosh, this is making me dizzy.

[Andy]

Thought she hates foreign exchange students. She hates women, apparently.

[Bobby]

Women giving them incredibly offensive terms.

[Andy]

Yes.

[Bobby]

Like abroad.

[Andy]

It sounds even gross coming out of your mouth.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Demi]

Yucky.

[Bobby]

Yuck. Well, I guess you guys heard here first. Lily hates foreigners and she hates women. She's calling them broads. Yuck. I don't like that. Neither should you.

[Andy]

No.

[Bobby]

Welcome to the show.

[Andy]

Did I say nature?

[Demi]

I meant butterfly.

[Bobby]

The butterfly is no doubt one of God's best.

[Andy]

You were martial arts.

[Bobby]

I don't think people realize how much mental energy money stuff takes.

[Andy]

Yeah, and it's not even just the spending. It's the not knowing.

[Bobby]

You assume things are fine until you sit down and look.

[Andy]

And when you do look, it's usually scattered. Different apps, different accounts, different subscriptions.

[Bobby]

That's why Rocket Money has been so helpful.

[Andy]

Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps you find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can start growing your savings.

[Bobby]

It puts everything into one place.

[Andy]

Exactly. Checking, saving, subscriptions, spending, one dashboard. That actually makes sense.

[Bobby]

That alone is calming.

[Andy]

It really is. And everything is in there. Rocket Money automatically categorizes transactions so you could actually see patterns instead of just guessing.

[Bobby]

Which is when reality really sets in.

[Andy]

Yeah, but in a helpful way, you can set budgets, create saving goals, and get regular reports. That keeps you aware without being overwhelmed.

[Cameron]

I like the alerts Same.

[Andy]

I use this app and I absolutely love it. Real time alerts for big transactions or upcoming bills that make it feel like nothing sneaking up on you anymore. It's less about perfection and more about control. You finally know what's happening with your money, which makes planning a whole lot easier.

[Bobby]

If you're trying to be more intentional

[Andy]

this year, Rocket Money is a solid tool to have in your corner.

[Bobby]

Let Rocket Money help you reach your financial goals faster.

[Bobby]

February has always hit the same for me. Cold outside, busy schedule, zero motivation to cook.

[Andy]

Same. I want to eat better, but I'm not pretending. I have time to plan meals all stinking week.

[Bobby]

That's where factor usually makes sense.

[Cameron]

Sense?

[Andy]

Yeah. Factor has fully prepared meals designed by dietitians and made by chefs so you can eat well without cooking or planning.

[Bobby]

And this isn't fake healthy food.

[Andy]

No, they're real ingredients. They're lean proteins, vegetables, whole foods, healthy fats, no refined sugars, no artificial sweeteners, no refined seed oils, baby.

[Bobby]

And that matters.

[Andy]

Especially if you're trying to stay consistent and not burn out halfway through the month.

[Bobby]

There's also a lot of variety.

[Andy]

You're telling me there's over 100 rotating meals every single week. High protein, calorie, smart, Mediterranean GLP1 support, ready to eat salads and new muscle pro meals for strength and recovery.

[Bobby]

So you're not just stuck eating the same old boring thing.

[Andy]

Exactly. And everything's fresh, never frozen, ready in just about two minutes. No prep, no stress.

[Bobby]

And you, you're actually using this?

[Andy]

I sure am. I use it. And you should too.

[Bobby]

Head to factor meals.com/ninjas50off and use code NINJAS50OFF to get 50% off and free breakfast for a year.

[Andy]

[Bobby]

Yes.

[Andy]

We love you, Factor.

[Bobby]

Love you, Factor.

[Andy]

Factor, we love you.

[Bobby]

It's actually a fact. Oh, he loves Factor.

[Demi]

Take a breath.

[Andy]

Focus setter yourself. Setter. Setter.

[Bobby]

I just saw this tick tock where this guy proposed his girlfriend or fiance and he was so nervous. As soon as she said yes, he goes, he ran over to the bus.

[Andy]

Oh, my God.

[Bobby]

So, like, the really nice, like, engagement photos are, like, him, like, bent over.

[Demi]

That is so funny.

[Bobby]

Really funny.

[Demi]

Why do you guys get nervous? In case we say no or something?

[Andy]

I mean, it's the biggest choice that we've ever made in our life.

[Bobby]

Yeah, except giving your life to Christ.

[Andy]

That was an easy decision. That was an easy one.

[Demi]

It was.

[Andy]

Yeah. This one I'm gonna have to live with for the rest of my life. And, you know, maybe if she. Jesus. Never gonna deny me.

[Bobby]

It's true.

[Andy]

Yeah. Dude, I was. Were you nervous proposing?

[Bobby]

Oh, incredible.

[Andy]

Were you shaking?

[Bobby]

I wasn't shaking, but I was just, like, crazy nervous.

[Andy]

Dude, it was. I was shaking. Shaking just like, putting the ring on her finger. I've even put the ring on the wrong finger because, like, we were holding hands on her wedding, like, hand and like. And so, like, I put it on the wrong finger. I was shaking like crazy.

[Bobby]

Oh, man.

[Andy]

Also kneeled down too soon because I was like, walking down an aisle to stop and I kneeled down and then I had to do like, an extra

[Cameron]

lunge to get closer to her. Have you guys seen the guys in like, ghillie suits who do, like, photography for, like, wedding captures? If we ever get shut down for any reason, if the deep state comes after us and kills our podcast, that's probably my calling.

[Demi]

Really?

[Cameron]

Take all my, like, hunting gear. Dude's like, in a ghillie suit with, like a 600 mil lens. He's, like, in a field. So the people, like, proposing it. Literally, I can't play it. The music's really good. But yeah, it'll be copyright. But he's in the middle of the field and I mean, you see nothing except, like a mountainscape. So the people are on. They literally think they're on like a day by themselves.

[Bobby]

He's just in the bushes until someone sees you. They're like, oh, my gosh, there is a sniper.

[Cameron]

It's a full on gilly scene.

[Andy]

I just imagine someone's giant lens.

[Cameron]

Dude, yeah.

[Demi]

Wow.

[Andy]

Just imagine someone proposing on the beach, and you're just like, on the sand in this full gilly suit. Like, we can see, bro. There are bushes here just buried up to his neck.

[Demi]

Just what I was going to tell you guys about is there's this program called Boundless Life. I got an ad for it on Tiki to. And what it is, is traveling abroad with your entire family, and you basically choose a country and you spend three months in it, and they have a school there, and other families come, too, and they teach your kids and they have parent classes.

[Bobby]

That's very cool.

[Cameron]

That's.

[Demi]

Dude, I know, I know.

[Andy]

So you just literally just pick a country and. Yeah, wherever they're available, I'll text you guys.

[Demi]

You see it later. But it's called balanced life. These people did. Portugal.

[Bobby]

Portugal.

[Andy]

Don't you have some friends in Portugal?

[Bobby]

See?

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Demi]

Sick. It looks like so much fun, and the kids learn so much, and then they'll come home, and it's, like, also kind of really safe, by the way. The kids are super safe. And they'll come home from their school day and they'll be like, we went to the market. We went here. We went here. All these field trips, just learning.

[Andy]

So fun.

[Demi]

Think about how enriching that is for your kids.

[Andy]

I wonder how affordable it is.

[Demi]

I bet it's expensive, dude.

[Andy]

You would think it wouldn't be, though, like. Because, like, it's just like, living life with other people. And if you just keep that program up where you're at.

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Andy]

What would happen if you're a host family or host school?

[Cameron]

What would happen if it was, like, an exchange program? You just take people from dope parts of the world with, like, really enriching culture, and then you drop them in American schools for three months.

[Demi]

They had to go learn Common Core for three months. Oh, my gosh, what a nightmare.

[Bobby]

They have to get in a fight the first day of school.

[Andy]

We had Ford exchange students in Kansas, and I'm like, I'm so sorry. That's like, I love Kansas. Don't get me wrong. But I'm just saying, we had a guy owl. He lived in our house for years. He was from Germany, and he's like, southeast Kansas.

[Cameron]

That's terrible.

[Andy]

And it's like.

[Cameron]

It's just. I.

[Andy]

It's a good experience.

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Andy]

But there's so much more to America than that.

[Demi]

You have to. You have to hear Matthew McConaughey's story about going to Australia. Foreign. Foreign exchange thing. It's in his book Green Light. It is horrific, really. He had a terrible time.

[Andy]

Oh, no.

[Demi]

Their family was nuts.

[Andy]

They get pretty gnarly, though, because you never know who you're gonna land with.

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Because the families. It's not like, just like. It has to be a certain standard. I don't think there's really.

[Demi]

I don't think there is one.

[Andy]

Exchange. Yeah.

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Speaking of wealth, I saw the stat. You ready for the stat?

[Andy]

Hit me.

[Bobby]

If you were to make $1 per second. $1 per second, it would take you 9.2 days to buy $800,000 house. It would take you 2.5 years. Buy an $80 million mega yacht. Guess how long it would take to have Elon Musk net worth?

[Andy]

What is his net worth?

[Cameron]

I've seen this.

[Bobby]

I'm not gonna tell you.

[Cameron]

I'm not gonna spoil it.

[Demi]

Like, 300 lifetimes or something.

[Bobby]

I would say 90 years, 22,830 years. You made $1 per second, bro.

[Demi]

Dude, there's.

[Andy]

That's wild.

[Demi]

There's something wrong with that.

[Bobby]

Isn't that crazy?

[Andy]

That is wild, because I've always heard the stat of, like, how many seconds is like a million seconds? And apparently it's like. It's like three weeks or something. And a million. A billion seconds is 33 years. So that's the difference between a million and a billion. That's crazy. 22,000 years.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Andy]

That dude is loaded.

[Cameron]

Yeah, but it's not even. Just, like, the ultra rich. I mean, so I'm jumping to sports, but, like, have you broken, like. I think we've broken down contracts and stuff with, like, different professional athletes. How much do you think Messi, between salary and endorsements, how much do you think he's worth per second?

[Bobby]

Oh, more than a dollar.

[Andy]

I'll do three dollars.

[Demi]

I don't know.

[Cameron]

A hundred, four dollars and twelve cents.

[Andy]

I didn't get the math, but that.

[Bobby]

Never ask her because she overshoots it.

[Demi]

Hold on, though. I'm usually very close and you say that's no fun, because I almost get it every time.

[Cameron]

Last time you said you were the closest, and you were, like, very, very far off. I forget what.

[Demi]

But I was the closest.

[Andy]

You were the closest, and you made a lot of fuss about it. But I was also the closest on this one. You see how humbly I took that win?

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Well, I'm very humble. So.

[Cameron]

Athletes making $4 a second is insane.

[Bobby]

I wonder, if I did the math, would I make a second?

[Andy]

That would be fun.

[Bobby]

It's like negative $5 going down. Wait a second.

[Andy]

Have you seen that one with Jeff Bezos walking through the warehouse and stuff? And it's like his, like in real time. Take the shot.

[Cameron]

Nice, Nice.

[Andy]

But it's Jeff Bezos walking and it has his, like, his actual, like, real life number going over his head. And then he's like, coming up and, you know, meeting one of his factory workers. And it's just like a slow tick and it's like Jeff Bezos, like, wow, constant. And it's like just walking through that, you know. Thank you. Appreciate it.

[Bobby]

Good for him, though.

[Cameron]

Yeah.

[Andy]

I mean, self made millionaire. Never done anything bad.

[Bobby]

Speaking of self made millionaire, do you hear about that movie? The iron lung movie?

[Andy]

No.

[Demi]

Is it about polio?

[Bobby]

I don't know what it's about, but it's fascinating. It's a YouTuber. His name is. Was it Mark Markiplier? Everyone on Markiplier?

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

You know, yeah. Okay.

[Andy]

He made a movie.

[Bobby]

Yeah, made a movie. Self funded it himself. He did the writing, he did the acting. Like he was a main character in it. He did the editing. Paid $0 for marketing, and basically his audience went out and they're begging movie theaters to put his movie in theaters. So he got in over 4,000 movie theaters.

[Andy]

That's huge.

[Bobby]

And he spent $3 million of his own money making this movie. Took him three years to make it.

[Andy]

Wow.

[Bobby]

Opening weekend, made over $21 million.

[Demi]

Good for him.

[Andy]

That's bonkers.

[Demi]

Is that epic?

[Andy]

Oh, is it really? Yeah, I'll have to look it up. Yeah, I'm going Saturday.

[Demi]

It's a scary movie, but it's cool

[Bobby]

because it totally went against the whole, like, you have to find investors. You got to go through a produce or a. What do you call it?

[Andy]

Yeah, like just a studio. Yeah. What is it? Yeah, the. I can't, like, put it. But to put it out.

[Cameron]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Andy]

I can't think of the word.

[Bobby]

A producer.

[Andy]

No, no, it's a. I can't think of it. That's crazy.

[Bobby]

This is.

[Andy]

I know what you mean.

[Demi]

Scary. It's about the rapture, I think. Oh, this is. You want me to describe it to you? Ocean of blood. That's how it starts.

[Bobby]

Nice.

[Demi]

The only hope left after the quiet rapture. In the rustling halls of crumbling space stations, the last remnants of humanity craft a submarine to explore the bleeding depths and weld one soul inside to pilot it.

[Andy]

Wow.

[Bobby]

Weld him in.

[Andy]

Nice.

[Demi]

Scary. This is not an expedition. It's an execution. Oh, scary.

[Bobby]

Well, good for him.

[Andy]

Yeah. I mean, that's killer. I mean, he's also a huge. Like, he's been around for a long time. He's one of the OGs. So, I mean, like, a lot of his fans were probably just, you know, big reason behind that. Yeah.

[Bobby]

I thought it was super cool, though.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Demi]

Super cool movie about Moses the Black.

[Cameron]

No way.

[Demi]

Yeah. It's out of Epic Theater right now.

[Andy]

Yeah. Omar Epps.

[Bobby]

Pretty cool.

[Demi]

What the heck?

[Andy]

I want to see. I want to see Send help that Rachel McAdams, that apparently is a horror movie too.

[Bobby]

Send Help It Out. Did Send Help in the box office opening.

[Andy]

Really?

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Andy]

That's crazy.

[Bobby]

And Send help had a $40 million budget.

[Andy]

That's crazy.

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Andy]

How does that. I mean, that's awesome. Good for him.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Demi]

Dracula's out. Is it the one that we've been talking about or is there a different one?

[Andy]

It's. I think it is. It's. Has Christoph Waltz in it, but I don't know who the director.

[Cameron]

Cable Going Away has seriously jacked up us finding out about movies coming out.

[Demi]

I know.

[Cameron]

Like, I miss being excited for a movie.

[Demi]

Same.

[Bobby]

Well, Disney does a terrible job at.

[Cameron]

But who does a good job marketing their movie?

[Bobby]

I mean, the Deadpool Wolverine thing, that was. That's. That should be the playbook of, like, how to do it.

[Cameron]

Yeah, that's like ping pong movie. They did.

[Andy]

They did some work because even like for Deadpool, even at Walmart, like when you were buying other DVDs, like some old classic movies like Home Alone, it would be. The slipcover for the DVD would be Deadpool as Kevin McAllister. And they would have it for Jaws and they would have it for all, like, movies that aren't even related.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Andy]

It was pure genius. I think that would be the most fun part about making a movie is, like, how to push it out there and be creative about pushing.

[Cameron]

You remember Disney used to do that, like with Lilo and Stitch, where Stitch would, like, mess with Beauty and the Beast with the chandelier and they would do that stuff. Yeah.

[Andy]

Well, do you guys remember? I don't know if you remember the story. You would probably remember out of everybody. But in Disneyland, when Stitch came out, they had him tear up the Disneyland. And so they had Stitch banners everywhere. And the whole castle was covered in toilet paper. The whole castle.

[Cameron]

That's crazy.

[Andy]

And people apparently loved it. But then there were other people that were outraged. Like, they spent so much money to come visit the Disney castle and it was covered in toilet paper.

[Bobby]

Oh, whatever yourself.

[Andy]

Come on. It's like, that's The.

[Demi]

Speaking of that, I'm the only one over here beating this drum about going to Disneyland when we're in California next month. If we have any fans that are in California and work at Disneyland, could you hook us up with some free tickets and we'll hang out with you all day?

[Andy]

Yeah, you can stay with us. You can live with us. We'll take you home.

[Demi]

We'll take you home in our luggage.

[Cameron]

What's the difference? Isn't it just smaller and in California.

[Demi]

Yeah, but it's different. There's a vibe. There's California, totally different.

[Andy]

California Adventure is completely different than what we have here. Yeah.

[Demi]

Pirates is different.

[Cameron]

I have no dog in the fight.

[Demi]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andy]

Disneyland. It's very similar to Magic Kingdom, but.

[Demi]

It's very similar. But it's different and it's original and I want to see it.

[Andy]

We're definitely going to the zoo. First day, right?

[Demi]

Heck, yeah.

[Andy]

Gotta go to the zoo.

[Bobby]

Gotta go to the zoo.

[Andy]

We're already in San Diego, so we might as well.

[Demi]

Do they have a panda? Do we google that?

[Andy]

I'm sure they do.

[Demi]

My girls want to see a panda.

[Andy]

They're not gonna be real.

[Bobby]

Speaking of pandas.

[Andy]

What?

[Bobby]

It's a terrible story.

[Andy]

Oh, no. What did this panda do?

[Bobby]

Hey, let's. Let's be present.

[Demi]

I'm just. They do have pandas. And they have names.

[Andy]

Of course they do.

[Demi]

I can't pronounce them.

[Andy]

Anchorman had a pan that. Wasn't that a panda? That was the whole thing.

[Demi]

I think so.

[Cameron]

Wasn't it?

[Andy]

They giving birth? You like pants?

[Bobby]

No.

[Andy]

North Korea.

[Bobby]

North Korea.

[Andy]

I heard about this.

[Demi]

I did not.

[Bobby]

Terrible. Kim is doing public executions of teenagers.

[Demi]

Why?

[Bobby]

For getting caught watching squid games or listening to K pop music. And what he's doing is he's having students go out there and watch the executions for ideological education.

[Andy]

Isn't that nuts?

[Cameron]

Not to ask a gross question, but what is the means of execution?

[Bobby]

I don't know. I just. It was just public execution.

[Demi]

That is horrifying.

[Andy]

And it's squid games. I mean, that would be the way to do it. I mean, if you're a crazy dictator like Kim Jong Un, gosh, when are

[Demi]

we gonna end this?

[Bobby]

And people are like, how was he able to get away with this stuff like that? That's like a Geneva code kind of thing.

[Andy]

Yeah. Like, we have all these problems. We want to insert ourselves in all these other types of wars for over, you know, things. And it's like this is being publicly announced that this is happening, and yet we're like, you know, it's just North Korea.

[Bobby]

That's what they do.

[Andy]

How about we go in and save them? How about Venezuela raid team?

[Demi]

Yeah, right.

[Andy]

Maybe just come in and freaking take care of this.

[Demi]

Which China would China come to defend?

[Bobby]

Yes.

[Demi]

Why?

[Bobby]

Because they're allies.

[Demi]

Dang.

[Bobby]

That's like. If China came in and, like, started beating up Canada, we wouldn't be like, well, that's.

[Demi]

I don't know. Canada's messing around.

[Andy]

Hey.

[Demi]

What?

[Bobby]

Easy.

[Demi]

They're being silly geese. I don't want them to take Canada. I think it's beautiful. People are beautiful.

[Bobby]

Anyways, Kim also sentenced three of his little sister's friends to years in labor camp.

[Andy]

Gosh.

[Bobby]

For watching South Korean tv.

[Demi]

I don't even have access to it. A VPN probably.

[Bobby]

I don't know. Sneak it in. I know. During the. I was listening to the Psyop show, the Sean Ryan Ironclad, and they were talking about how much the CIA was involved in the movie, the interview.

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Like, they basically approved the script.

[Demi]

So funny.

[Bobby]

For the interview, the one where they kill Kim Jong Un. And they. They. They even wrote like, this will actually be great, because then we'll sneak it in to North Korea, and basically the people in North Korea will be like, oh, yeah, this is terrible that we have this leader. And so what they did was they took thousands and thousands of copies of the interview, tied it onto balloons, and sent it into North Korea.

[Demi]

I mean, that's what they do, though. They don't think like. Like a biography or something like that. Or like, it's Seth Rogen and James Franco. Franco.

[Andy]

This is real.

[Bobby]

Do you have a butthole?

[Demi]

Oh, I have a butthole.

[Bobby]

And it's working over time.

[Andy]

Sometimes I feel like a plastic bag.

[Demi]

They won't even get that reference, you know, Katy Perry in North Korea.

[Bobby]

I know, but. Yeah, I thought that was crazy, that that episode of SC was nuts because it talked about just the. The Department of Defense, the Pentagon. Just because we talked about being involved in Hollywood movies and stuff, but stuff that we're not even, like, fully aware of of, like, being a part of the script. Like Avatar. They're a part of Avatar.

[Cameron]

Oh, yeah. That movie's political as heck. Yeah.

[Bobby]

Well, it's this. And then don't look up. Yeah, of course, Leo. And just, like, certain show, they're Cake boss.

[Demi]

I mean, cake boss. Italian.

[Bobby]

Yes. Like in baking shows. Like, I mean, they're literally in every show, every movie, twisting stuff around.

[Cameron]

Well, there are two people. There are two groups that we talk frequently about being involved in, like, the underworkings of everything that we consume. And it's one, the government and two, another people of ethnic conviction. And they have historically been known to be the two power players in that industry. So it's like, we shouldn't be surprised by any of that.

[Bobby]

Yeah, yeah.

[Demi]

It's just amazing they have that much capacity.

[Bobby]

I know, right?

[Andy]

But it just shows the importance of it. Yeah. Like, we don't think it's a big deal. It's like, no, they care a lot.

[Demi]

Mass indoctrination really is just that deep. You know what I'm saying? Everything is that deep.

[Andy]

And that's where I'm at with this whole list thing.

[Demi]

I know.

[Andy]

It's just like, for years we've been talking about all these conspiracies. During COVID the whole Pizzagate thing was coming out. Everyone's like, you're insane. You're crazy. You have all these child stars talking about, like, Corey Feldman saying, you know, like, it's a huge problem in Hollywood. It's the number one problem in Hollywood. Everyone's like, you're crazy. You're blacklisted. Get out of here. You're not. So. And now it's like, yeah, quit. If someone tells me a conspiracy is not real, I'm good. I just don't. I don't care. I don't care how insane it is.

[Demi]

They owe us an apology.

[Andy]

You know what? In fact, yes. I'm going to be waiting for it.

[Demi]

I saw it was a TikTok. It was like one of those mashups, and it was all the images of Matthew McConaughey and True Detective, like, chain smoking, like, crazy hair. And it's like, you just got here. Everybody's reading the emails are like this. He's like, I've been this way.

[Bobby]

Yeah, it's crazy. I mean, I saw Eve. There's like clips of, like, Alex Jones on podcasts.

[Demi]

Yes.

[Bobby]

Eight years ago. Where the part where he's like, That's just a conspiracy. He's like, no, it's not.

[Andy]

That was eight years ago, before Jeff. Jeffrey Epstein passed away and everything. And every. Like, Bill Gates is coming out and talking. He's like, I met Jeffrey Epstein in 2011. But it's like. Like, Jeffrey Epstein was, you know, indicted. It, like, in 2007. So it's like you had every reason not to be involved with this guy's like, I just went to dinners and stuff. It's like, it doesn't matter.

[Bobby]

It's like, he's. He was great with Money. And, like, he was helping me with health.

[Cameron]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, it was health.

[Bobby]

He was like, donating to, like, health organizations or something like that because he

[Cameron]

was connected to other very wealthy people and he wanted help with, like, global health issues, with connecting those wealthy people. I'm like, people don't get wealthy looking out for other people.

[Andy]

I think we're just. We're seeing again, we're seeing the definition of money is the root of all kinds of evil right now. All kinds of love money.

[Cameron]

I think we just need to start, like, again. We can't make impact super far from us immediately, but we can have impact directly in front of us. And, like, you look at this stuff with, like, the Balenciaga stuff, the Drew Barrymore shirt, like, whenever we see that, like, you want to bring back cancel culture where it matters. Like, cancel stuff that's very apparently evil and.

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Cameron]

Pedophilia, tolerating.

[Demi]

Assuming it.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Cameron]

Like, if that. If that shows up in a movie, it's like, oh, that was a weird joke. No, don't watch it.

[Bobby]

Yeah, we're done.

[Andy]

At least Billie Eilish is doing the right thing.

[Demi]

What's she doing?

[Andy]

You haven't heard about this?

[Cameron]

Oh, my God.

[Bobby]

Wait.

[Andy]

Oh, this is good.

[Bobby]

So on on stage at the Grammys.

[Demi]

Oh, gosh.

[Bobby]

I mean, everyone at the Grammys was wearing, like, stop ice, you know, like, whatever. That's a whole thing. We're not going to get into it super politically, but all these musicians were like, you know,

[Cameron]

terrible.

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Billie Eilish is on stage and she's like, you can't deport people that are on stolen land.

[Andy]

No one's illegal on stone.

[Bobby]

No one's illegal on stolen land.

[Andy]

And everything's like, yeah, sprayed a carpet.

[Bobby]

But through that, the indigenous tribe, Native American tribe came out and they said, well, Billie Eilish, your house is on our stolen land.

[Andy]

The Tavanga tribe, I think it's like

[Demi]

her house is specifically on, like, a reservation or something.

[Cameron]

Or like that was seized from that tribe.

[Demi]

Oh, no.

[Bobby]

And so, like, what are you gonna do about it?

[Demi]

Dang. Say it again.

[Andy]

When can we move in, man?

[Demi]

Okay. I thought you were gonna say something like she stood up for, like, something different, like.

[Bobby]

No, no.

[Andy]

It just completely backfired on her PR wise because it's. I was like, okay, cool. Thank you.

[Cameron]

Even the logic on it. How is land stolen of borders shouldn't exist.

[Demi]

Yeah. Dang.

[Bobby]

The whole thing's crazy.

[Cameron]

It's funny at this point, it's.

[Bobby]

It's bizarre. It's so bizarre and it seems fake. It's a whole psy up. I fully believe that.

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

But what is crazy is that there is this website that is. It's like an anti ICE website where, I mean, just thousands and thousands of people that are coordinating, they're doing all this stuff. It's like an encrypted website. Someone went in and hacked it and sent every single person's information to the FBI that was on the anti ICE website. And so these people are like freaking out. They're getting texts like that your phone, your number has been sent to a government agency. And they're like, oh, golly.

[Demi]

Well, because they're making mistakes. I mean, like, I think we talked about that video where they, they pinged someone's car, they labeled it as an ICE and it was just like a normal civilian. And they were like harassing this person and they were like, not even ice.

[Andy]

It's crazy. That's.

[Demi]

Yes.

[Cameron]

It's all.

[Bobby]

It's like, if it's like, what can you do? And that's why I love having Jesse on where he's like, that's. It's not. That's not reality. Like, the reality is he's like, if you were to go out into public and interact with anyone.

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

There's no hostility.

[Demi]

No.

[Bobby]

There's no, like, I hate you. This like they're trying to force that onto you. I know where it's like, hate your neighbor, hate your fellow countrymen. Like there's this division. Be on this side, don't be on that side. And it's not real.

[Demi]

If they can keep us divided in that manner and distracted, it's just going to control us away from also the fact that they're all animalist or crazy pants and we need to revolt.

[Bobby]

You didn't bring our houses down.

[Demi]

But yeah, if we all like band together, dude, we could do something. Stop paying our taxes maybe. You know what I'm saying?

[Cameron]

I wish.

[Andy]

I love that. That's the motiv. That's not justice, not freedom. We want to get away from the taxes.

[Bobby]

It's crazy, man.

[Andy]

It's so crazy. Also, Billie Eilish won like song of the year for a song I've never heard. And I looked in the comments. I'm like, am I crazy? I've never. And everyone's like, I've never heard this song. It's called Wildflower. I'm like, I don't think that. I think that's the biggest crowd.

[Bobby]

Yeah, that's it.

[Andy]

Yeah, that is.

[Bobby]

Speaking of tick tock. You know, I'm sorry, I'm totally gonna kabi lame.

[Andy]

Kabi lame.

[Bobby]

The African American man that's always like,

[Andy]

oh yeah, yeah, yeah. The silent guy.

[Bobby]

Yeah, yeah. He had a company and he just sold his company to a. Another company called Rich Sparkle Holdings.

[Andy]

Cool.

[Bobby]

Which is a. There's a Hong Kong based NASDAQ listed holding company. He just sold his company and his full likeness to this company for $975 million. $975 million. But in this contract, the likeness of which they now own is his face id.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

His voice id and all behavioral. Behavioral models so they can create an AI digital twin. Ew. So they. He literally sold himself. Yeah. Every type of likeness that they can do whatever with.

[Demi]

Almost for a billion dollars.

[Bobby]

Almost for a billion dollars. And they said that they. They expect to make or generate $4 billion just from his likeness in annual sales.

[Demi]

Doing what? Doing what?

[Andy]

Oh, I mean, he's just huge ads doing. He's huge, like worldwide.

[Bobby]

This guy's really worldwide.

[Demi]

So just like advertising.

[Bobby]

Yeah. And they just. But they can take his voice and put it into any language which will be super weird because his whole character was silent.

[Andy]

Yeah. Almost a billion dollars. Not even speaking a word.

[Demi]

I mean, I think I do that.

[Andy]

Take your money and run, dude.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Demi]

Rich Sparkle, what was it?

[Andy]

Holdings or Rich Sparkle Holding?

[Demi]

That's if Ada made a company. That's what she would do.

[Andy]

Rich Sparkle.

[Demi]

Yeah, she said that you guys can start referring to me as Unicorn Sparkle. Did she tell you that yet?

[Cameron]

No.

[Bobby]

Yeah, that.

[Andy]

You remember seeing him in the Orlando airport that one time, right?

[Bobby]

Oh yeah.

[Andy]

And they were filming. We're like, wait, I could never remember his name. But it's like always the guy that did like, you know, they would show hacks and he would just go like that all the time. I was like, oh man, there he is.

[Bobby]

How scary.

[Andy]

That's kind of nuts. I don't know what you're gonna do besides advertising. It's like, what? How could that go wrong?

[Bobby]

I mean, they can sell it in movies.

[Andy]

Oh yeah.

[Bobby]

Video games. I mean.

[Cameron]

Yeah.

[Andy]

And you're not going to get any of that money ever again. No, because now it's like, now it's like you just contract this company out for, you know, an ad spot.

[Bobby]

But they can also. I mean, the scary part is they can make it to where you can sell probably stuff that you don't necessarily agree with.

[Demi]

That's what I'm saying.

[Andy]

Oh yeah. For sure.

[Demi]

Bad movies with it too.

[Andy]

Yeah. I mean, a North Korean ad yeah, like public. Public executions, 12 o'.

[Cameron]

Clock.

[Andy]

Be there or else. Yeah, yeah, that's gonna be. That's just a whole other realm, dude, that we're gonna go into. We have no idea what that's gonna look like in the future.

[Bobby]

It's the first deal of its kind to where a celebrity sold their entire

[Andy]

likeness, their entire, like, even their voice. I don't even know how I. How he sounds about this. That'd be good. I'll show it on Patreon because it just has a song behind it that makes a lot. Makes it a lot better. But did you see India's motorc Parade?

[Bobby]

No.

[Andy]

Like a freedom parade. It was like their Independence Day. Pretty dope. Like just full on motorcycle tricks. Like, it makes you believe that.

[Bobby]

Weird.

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Cameron]

You do mortar cycle, motorcycle.

[Andy]

I don't know. I'm terrible at speaking. What do you expect?

[Bobby]

No, you're great at speaking.

[Andy]

No, I'm not. But it just makes you believe the Bollywood movies even more to the point where it's like, I don't think they're faking it. I don't think this is cgi. I think they're literally pulling this off.

[Demi]

That's so funny.

[Cameron]

Rrr.

[Bobby]

Dude is a fantastic.

[Demi]

It is good.

[Andy]

I like, I was this close to watching that with the girls last night because I'm like, I think. I think it would be so much fun.

[Demi]

Yeah, it's very violent.

[Andy]

Yeah, I think they're okay with that. Do you see that? The Japanese volleyball player that accidentally.

[Cameron]

Forehead slide.

[Andy]

Oh my goodness. So there's this guy on this other side of the court and he. He's like. They're like pros at volleyball. The guy serves it all the way across the court and it just whops this lady in the side of the face. One of the. One of the coaches on the other team. And what he does is he sprints. I'll send the video. He sprints and then slides on his face, face down against the court, kneeling to her. And then like literally full planking. And then gets up and starts bowing. And she's bowing and I mean, he

[Bobby]

slid like 20ft it.

[Andy]

And it wasn't like a comical thing for them. It was just like truly apologizing. Yeah, it was incredible.

[Demi]

You guys start doing that when we get in a fight across the carpet.

[Cameron]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Bunch of apologies. Find out you're wrong in an argument.

[Cameron]

You're like, dang it.

[Andy]

All right, here we go.

[Demi]

Here we go.

[Bobby]

Are you sending the motorcycle thing?

[Andy]

No, I wanted to play with just the music, I guess we could put music over it, but it's just. It's just so much fun. Oh, yeah. We can watch it on Patreon, too, I guess. Oops.

[Demi]

What?

[Bobby]

That's so funny.

[Andy]

Yeah. Look at this. I sent you the motorcycle one.

[Demi]

Is he crying?

[Andy]

No.

[Demi]

Oh, he's laughing.

[Bobby]

Don't do the music.

[Andy]

It just gets more wild as you go on.

[Bobby]

That is so.

[Andy]

Why aren't we doing stuff like this?

[Bobby]

That is awesome.

[Andy]

It's the coolest thing.

[Demi]

Somebody said. Maybe the anime doesn't exaggerate that.

[Andy]

Yeah, that's what everyone's saying. They're like, maybe the Bollywood movies are really actually.

[Demi]

Oh, you guys. Did you guys move on?

[Bobby]

Yeah, we're on the India.

[Demi]

I was watching the volleyball thing still.

[Cameron]

That's so.

[Demi]

Oh, my gosh. How mad Max is that?

[Andy]

If you keep going, they just get. They get more wild. Yes.

[Bobby]

That one is so funny.

[Andy]

I don't know what gets them inspired to do it, dude, but I freaking love it.

[Bobby]

Amazing.

[Andy]

I mean, it's just freedom, I guess, right?

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Andy]

77th Republic Day on January 26th with its annual parade.

[Bobby]

Well, speaking of amazing.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Did you guys hear about that Egyptian papyrus that. It talks about giants.

[Andy]

The Egyptian what?

[Bobby]

Papyrus. No, that talks about giants.

[Andy]

I mean, that makes sense. That's how they made the pyramids, right?

[Bobby]

Yep. And I'll tell you all about it.

Capybara. You not know what a capybara is?

[Cameron]

World's largest rodent.

Oh, they look like the, like, giant beaver thing, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So good.

[Bobby]

Hey, get. Get on this.

There's a cappy bar in there. Hey, hop on that mic.

I'm chewing.

[Bobby]

No one can hear you.

[Demi]

I'm chewing.

[Andy]

They want to hear you chew.

[Bobby]

Capybaras.

[Andy]

Dude. You know about him.

[Demi]

Play on that. Please

[Andy]

don't talk in the microphone when you're chewing.

[Bobby]

Just said that.

[Andy]

She's like a pirate.

[Demi]

Relax,

[Bobby]

Man. I got some cool stories, you guys.

[Andy]

I feel so lucky to be on this podcast, dude. Blessed with our friends, with our family.

[Bobby]

Let's just say. Let's just pause for a second. We really are blessed to have this podcast Beyond.

[Andy]

I'm not joking when I say that.

[Bobby]

I know you're joking. I know you're joking when you said that.

[Andy]

I know you aren't grateful for this.

[Bobby]

Be serious.

[Andy]

Yes.

[Bobby]

We are so blessed to have this podcast.

[Andy]

We are. This is literally what we prayed for. We didn't even know it.

[Bobby]

And we're blessed that you guys actually listen to us, which is crazy, but I. I appreciate it. It's so cool. What a cool thing.

[Andy]

It's the flipping.

[Bobby]

Too bad this is the last one.

[Andy]

Yeah. That is unfortunate.

[Demi]

Can I tell you guys something?

[Bobby]

Sure.

[Andy]

Question corner with Lily where the questions are fresh on her mind.

[Demi]

I was gonna tell you something different.

[Andy]

Okay, do it now.

[Demi]

I was on my phone last night and just for a split second, I was in my text messages going to go read text messages for my cousin for a split second. I could only catch this because I'm such a fast reader. The. My messages, you know, gives you a little highlight.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Demi]

They were all in code and it said compassionate, loving, all these things. It was AI reading my messages.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Demi]

Giving a breakdown and doing a synopsis of them.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Demi]

And then switched.

[Bobby]

What's the question? I don't get that.

[Demi]

I'm just telling you about what's going on.

[Cameron]

I'm just kidding.

[Demi]

I'm kidding.

[Bobby]

I'm kidding.

[Demi]

That's weird.

[Bobby]

It is weird.

[Andy]

Have you. Is that the first time you saw that? Yeah. Yeah, it's weird. Like it. It kind of breaks down your whole message and gives. Yeah, yeah, it's weird.

[Bobby]

I know. It does it with the. If you have your headphones in.

[Demi]

I didn't have.

[Andy]

I haven't tried that.

[Bobby]

If it like sends a picture. It says picture of a little girl.

[Demi]

Really?

[Bobby]

Like playing with bubbles. Yeah.

[Andy]

Interesting.

[Demi]

All right, here's my question. That's it, guys. Let me find it. Actually, you guys are anything. It's boring, but I think it's fun. Which cartoon traumatized you as a kid? And specifically which episode?

[Andy]

I know, exactly.

[Demi]

Me too. I want to versus the same.

[Bobby]

The courageous cowardly dog.

[Demi]

Yes.

[Andy]

Return the slab. Return the slab. When what's. What was. What was Eugene. Eugene.

[Demi]

No, his name was Eustace.

[Andy]

Eustace. Which is weird.

[Demi]

We live in use.

[Andy]

Yeah. Which is so weird.

[Demi]

But it's E U S T A C E. Okay.

[Andy]

Yeah. Eustace finds a slab, like in the backyard or something and loves it. And then it's just like this, like 3D animation, which was not normal for the show at all. And just that ghostly figure out in the. Like the desert. Return the slab.

[Bobby]

Yeah, I just remember that show scared the crap out of me as a kid. And I. I really never watched it.

[Demi]

There was an episode where they're being hypnotized and then he's going, flan, flan, flan. Like the. Like the dessert.

[Andy]

Like the Cuban dessert.

[Demi]

So scary.

[Andy]

Yeah. I can't remember. There's got to be other ones. That Anastasia was always really dark too, because it's literally showing, like, the underworld and witchcraft.

[Bobby]

Oh. And with

[Demi]

who was a real person.

[Andy]

But also loved the. The bat.

[Demi]

Scary.

[Andy]

The white bat had the funniest voice. Rasputin. Like, I didn't even. I can't even do it. Like, it was such a good voice for that character.

[Cameron]

Murphy.

[Andy]

No.

[Cameron]

Rasputin.

[Andy]

Anastasia. We in Russia.

[Demi]

Did you watch cartoons?

[Cameron]

I literally grew up on Looney Tunes.

[Bobby]

Heck yeah.

[Cameron]

So Bugs Bunny being super racist was always weird in my household. Yeah, no, I think it was spongebob and the weird. Like, just. I can't remember. I just remember there was a couple episodes where they would, like, change the animation and just like a weird, dark hit. I don't. I don't remember being, like, super unsettled, but being like, what world.

[Andy]

The rock bottom one, right?

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Andy]

That one was kind of creepy. That one was kind of.

[Demi]

I thought it was hilarious.

[Andy]

It's definitely funny.

[Demi]

But it's like, darker can pull.

[Bobby]

I.

[Andy]

Such a good episode. The girls have never watched one episode. Kelsey's like. She's like, it makes. Makes you dumber. I'm like, no, it does.

[Demi]

My mom or I had friends whose mom said the same thing. But I think spongebob made me funny.

[Andy]

Yeah, I totally agree.

[Cameron]

And I think those aren't exclusively, like, oppositional.

[Demi]

Like, dumb and funny.

[Andy]

You can be dumb, but also very funny.

[Cameron]

We could all be right here.

[Andy]

No, but we haven't watched any of the movies ever. I don't think I've ever watched any of the movies as well.

[Demi]

The first one is fantastic. Absolutely. Watch it with your children this weekend, please.

[Andy]

The newer one looked funny to the one they just came out with, like a month ago.

[Demi]

I don't like the animation style.

[Andy]

Yeah, it's definitely different. I can't wait to see that movie. The goat that get the spider verse. People made it. And they made the other movie too, but that one looks really good.

[Demi]

Cool.

[Bobby]

It's been a good. Here's what that beat. Hey, Andrew. Got a real. Sorry.

[Andy]

Please show us. Make us feel something inside make us throw up.

[Bobby]

Please don't do it now.

[Andy]

We need to get one of those Inception trombone noises. I feel like that would be good.

[Bobby]

Can you hear me that chord? Yeah.

[Cameron]

So this is. This is not. This is. This is a crazy thing. Taylor actually sent me this video, but I'll let the video play and then I want to tell a story in regards to the video. It's freaking crazy.

[Bobby]

Are you ready?

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Three, two, one, go.

[Andy]

Here's the path on into the buffalo zone of a hard. This Is what I think it is.

[Cameron]

It is.

[Andy]

Oh, yeah. Oh, please take the camera.

[Bobby]

Can we show that?

[Andy]

I'm.

[Cameron]

I'm gonna have to blur some of it.

[Demi]

Is it ice cake? Kind of.

[Andy]

It's on YouTube. Yeah, the ice skate. Literally.

[Cameron]

Okay, so the. The photo I sent you is. Is the guy. If you watch that video, the guy who comes running in, his name is Jim Pizza P. Zutelli. So he is the.

[Bobby]

Sounds like the guy that ran for Pope.

[Cameron]

So he's the athletic trainer for this hockey team. He's also a war veteran from the Vietnam War. This happened in 1989 in Buffalo. And so what happened is he gets done with the war, you know, seeking employment as a medic. He begins working for this hockey team. And when he was in Vietnam, he was, like, directly responsible for the 20 people in his platoon. Their health, their well being. And when you're in Vietnam, I mean, you're dealing with.

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Cameron]

Trauma.

[Bobby]

Yeah, yeah.

[Cameron]

Like, he actually got sent back, like on life support or something like that. Like, had to get medevacked. So he was like, in it. In it. Had seen stuff. Well, anyway, so he's back, you know, thankfully, still had his, like, you know, coherence about him. And he's working for this hockey team, sees this happen. And I don't know if these medical trainers have spiky shoes or whatnot, but that dude comes onto the ice moving, knowing, like, saw it happen immediately. This is bad. Well, he gets there and sees that an ice skate has not only cut the carotid artery, but is also severed part of the jugular. And I'm talking. This dude was about to bleed out.

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Cameron]

On the ice.

[Andy]

Oh, yeah.

[Cameron]

Throws his hand into the hole and clamps the vessel, literally holding it there. And then notices he's got one of them, but notices the other one that's clipped is continuing to bleed. So his medical training kicks in. He puts his knee on his collarbone over his heart and puts all of his weight there. So his heart slows down and he doesn't literally, he's like, I'm gonna slow you down. So you can't breathe and you can't continue to pump because you're going to die. Finally gets him, you know, get him off the ice. Doctors finally show up and they take him to the hospital. The dude survives 300 stitches to close that word. But literally, because the dude had all that training, had seen all that trauma, knew exactly where. Think about what that you can't see.

[Bobby]

No.

[Cameron]

You know what I mean? So he literally. Think about what touch and he threw his hand in and knew exactly. Knew exactly what he was doing.

[Bobby]

Holy smokes.

[Cameron]

Saved his life.

[Andy]

What are the odds of that? That's wild.

[Cameron]

And it changed. It changed, like, rules for, like, protective gear and all of that. Like, you listen to the commentators are like, turn the cameras off. Like, that wasn't something that been seen. You know, this isn't like. This isn't me celebrating gory story. This is me celebrating a veteran who just absolutely crushed it. It.

[Andy]

Did the guy ever play hockey again?

[Cameron]

You know, I don't know.

[Bobby]

I definitely would not.

[Demi]

Never again. If he had a wife, she would be like, you can never do that again.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Cameron]

So I'll. I am gonna blur part of that, making it apparent what's happening.

[Andy]

But you can find on YouTube.

[Cameron]

Yeah. What a. What a guy.

[Demi]

Have you guys seen the movie Lawless? Lawless with Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy?

[Andy]

Oh, yeah. Yeah, for sure. Oh, yeah, that happens. Yeah.

[Demi]

He gets his throw cut and he lives. You think there's no way he's gonna live.

[Andy]

Yeah, that one's.

[Demi]

That's just a wild video.

[Cameron]

That's a movie I've actually seen.

[Demi]

It's a good one, right?

[Cameron]

Really, really good, dude. The. The brass knuckles.

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Demi]

I am bothered.

[Andy]

You haven't seen. You've seen that, but you haven't seen Aladdin.

[Demi]

Yeah. What the heck?

[Bobby]

That's crazy.

[Andy]

It's because you don't like foreign films or what?

[Cameron]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Okay.

[Andy]

All right.

[Bobby]

Dang. Speaking of foreign films.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

I have something for him that should be turned into a film.

[Andy]

Oh, nice.

[Bobby]

These Egyptian papyrus.

[Andy]

Papyrus, cool.

[Bobby]

Called the Anastasi one. This is not a new thing that's come out. Apparently this was discovered in the 19th century, so 1800s.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Bobby]

Why are they talking about it now? I don't know, but it's everywhere. But this papyrus found in Egypt, the Anastasi number one, is about 3,300 years old. So it was, like, written in the 13th century B.C. and it's basically describing these desert people. And these desert people are called the Shashu. Where was it? Yeah, Shashu or. Yeah, Shoshu. Shoshu or Shashu. But it describes these people as being four cubits to five cubits tall, which is six foot eight to eight. Eight foot six feet tall. And how they were a ravenous people and, like, were just. They were desert dwellers in, like.

[Andy]

So they were in Egypt.

[Bobby]

They were in the deserts around Egypt. And I think that's, like, one of the only mentions of giants, like, in the Egyptian archives archives, whatever of what they Found. So my. Oh, wow. This is really interesting. And so I'm like, has. Is there any other hieroglyphics or papyrus or whatever talking about the Shoshu people? And there is. There's two other places where it talks about it. One is on these. These walls. One of the most famous depiction comes from Ramsay II in the Karnak temple. And it basically has the carvings of the Shoshu people and describes them as desert people with long hair and beards. They. They were captured in military campaigns labeled explicitly as Shashu of the deserts. Egyptians portrayed them as nomadic raiders living in Sinai, Edom in southern Levant. Constant trouble on trading routes. I'm like, wow, that's very interesting.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

But then there's another temple, the Soleb inscription. So the Soleb temple under Amina Hopetep. Good job, Amina Hopatep iii. I'm just going with that. I know it's completely wrong, but it describes him as the Shashu of Yahweh. Oh, so it says Shashu of. It doesn't explicitly say Yahweh. It says Y, H, W. And so they just assume that was Yahweh. Yeah, but these people were living around. They're described as the Shoshu of Yahweh living around Mount Sinai.

[Demi]

Wow.

[Bobby]

But. And so I'm like, there's no way that they're giants. Basically, it comes down to the Shoshu was a. Just a broad term of people that were hostile towards Egypt, Egyptians that lived in the desert. So desert dwellers got it. So. But I thought that was incredibly interesting that the Shoshu of. They call them the Shoshu of Yahweh. But like, the Egyptians feared them when they were living in. Around Mount Sinai because they would just attack raids and stuff like caravans and whatnot.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

I'm like, this is just.

[Andy]

It's just outlaws.

[Bobby]

It's cool to see the story of the Israelites in scripture outside of the Bible.

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah.

[Bobby]

But the Shoshu giants, that was a crazy thing to me where they described them as almost nine feet tall, bearded men, scary, terrorizing people, but they're also captured in some parts. Yeah, that stuff that was pretty rad.

[Andy]

Yeah. It's interesting.

[Demi]

The Shoshu just help me understand. They're. They're being said that that was the Israelites. That's what these people describe.

[Bobby]

It was a broad term used for desert dwellers.

[Demi]

I see.

[Bobby]

So it could apply to giants, but also seem to apply to the Israelites,

[Demi]

like when they were living in the wilderness or.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Demi]

Wow.

[Bobby]

Yeah. Shashu or Shawshank Redemption.

[Andy]

You're out.

[Bobby]

Go.

[Cameron]

It makes me wonder, while they were, like, wandering, though, you know, following pillars of, you know, fire, whatever else. Like, who's to say someone wasn't up on a ridge being like, what the. What the. What the.

[Demi]

Seriously?

[Bobby]

You know what I mean? Yeah.

[Andy]

And if you. I remember learning in college that, like, Moses would go. You know, he'd be leading the people to a certain place, and there'd be, obviously, an easier route to go. But he always chose very specific routes because he was such. Had such a military mindset. He knew the routes to go in which not to go and, you know, to be safe and keeps people safe. So it's interesting to see if there were, like, there were people like that back then where, you know, he was trying to avoid. They were trying to attack or anything. It's crazy.

[Cameron]

How many cubits Was it again?

[Andy]

Six to nine? Six. Seven.

[Cameron]

Six.

[Bobby]

Seven. It said four to five cubits tall.

[Cameron]

Okay.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Demi]

What's a cubit?

[Cameron]

About 18 inches, according to this. I was trying to compare him to Goliath, who was six cubits and a span. So Goliath would have been just a little larger then, but.

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Girls watched David yet? No, no, it's pretty good.

[Demi]

Will it hold?

[Andy]

Their music's awesome. I think so. Yeah. Yeah, it's very. It's very kiddish.

[Bobby]

Kiddish, yeah.

[Demi]

When were. When were the Israelites dwelling amongst giants, though? I know they go fight towns that had giants.

[Bobby]

They go into Canaan. Okay, so, yeah, it talked about the Raphaim giants. So it says that they were the last of the giants. Last of the Nephilim, the Raphaim. It talks about King Og. No, not Og. Who was it?

[Demi]

I know what you're talking about.

[Andy]

Maybe we should have some story with Ehud.

[Bobby]

Huh?

[Andy]

The story with Ehud.

[Bobby]

No, it talks about that king that had the. The metal bed that was like 13ft long.

[Demi]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby]

And now he was the last of the Rafa Rafaim.

[Cameron]

Anyways, it's ringing bells, but I don't feel confident enough to assert.

[Demi]

Skooky.

[Bobby]

I got another Egyptian story hit me

[Andy]

on Egyptian Trail, dude, about a saint. Okay, all right.

[Bobby]

Saint. How do you say his name? Minas Saint. Menus or minus? Is it minus or minus?

[Demi]

Spell it.

[Andy]

Minus touch.

[Bobby]

Just the minus touch.

[Andy]

Just the meanest touch.

[Bobby]

Saint Minas. He was born in Egypt around 270 A.D. okay. And this was under the Roman occupation.

[Andy]

Sure.

[Bobby]

His family were devout followers of Christ. And his mother? Actually, it starts off with his mother, like, not being able to Conceive a child weeping and praying to God for a child. And God literally speaks her and says, you will have a child and he'll do great things. And then he's conceived, he's born, he's raised up as a devout follower of Christ. He loves Christ. He's an amazing soldier. Joins the Egyptian army under Roman occupation, and it's just like, phenomenal. He's kicking butt, doing great things, and then here comes. What's his face, Emperor Diocletian, Terrible emperor. Just a huge persecutor of the Christians, mandating sacrifices and burning of incense to the Roman gods. So he fled to the mountains and basically became like the first desert father, like, one of the first desert fathers, like, became a monk, lived there for several years. But then he received, they say, either a dream or a vision that Jesus Christ appeared before him and said, go forth and confess my name before men and you will receive the crown prepared for you. So what he did, he went into the town and they were doing a pagan festival at this time, and he just started proclaiming Jesus. It's like, jesus is Lord. All your gods are false. They're demons. And he was arrested, obviously, and then he was tortured. And they're like, make a sacrifice or no, just. Just take a pinch of incense and dedicate it to the gods and you'll be okay. And he's like, no. And so they behead him. Nice. Done. Became a martyr.

[Cameron]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

And then it was years later, the Patriarch of Alexandria received this vision from God that he was supposed to go collect the bones of Saint Minius and then go and basically build a church around these bones, a church dedicated to Christ as this martyr who died for the faith of Christ.

[Andy]

So cool.

[Bobby]

And so he goes, he finds where the bones are, puts them on a camel. He's bringing it, and the camel just stops in the desert and just sits. And the camel refused to get up. He's like, okay, well, maybe this is where God wants me to put the bones. So he buried the bones, built a shrine around it. They built this little church around it. For years it was a pilgrimage for people to go around. And apparently there's many miracles that were worked at this church. Then years and years and years and years later, the Egypt was coming over this rule, and the Christians were being persecuted. Churches were being broken down, burnt down. And so they moved the bones to another place called El Alameen. El Alameen. And that's where they still are to this day. And this huge church is built around Saint Minius's bones. Really super cool.

[Andy]

Still standing today.

[Bobby]

Still standing today.

[Andy]

That'd be so cool to visit.

[Demi]

I know.

[Bobby]

Now, Fast forward to 1942. Okay, this is during the time of the Nazis. And there was this battle taking place in El Adameen between the Nazis and the British, which.

[Demi]

Pause. There was news to me. I didn't know that they went down that far. I didn't know that they went into Egypt and stuff like that.

[Andy]

It's not that far.

[Demi]

The Nazis.

[Andy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Demi]

That means another continent.

[Bobby]

It was all about oil and territory.

[Demi]

They were trying to take everything and precious things. Right. Because they stole a lot of precious artwork and antiques and stuff.

[Bobby]

They did. They got some weird stuff, too.

[Demi]

I know.

[Bobby]

But El Alameen mattered because it was the last defensible choke point before Cairo, before the invasion of Cairo, taking over Cairo. It was at risk if the Nazis took it over with all this rich oil that the Nazis would have obtained. And basically whoever won this battle at El Alameen would. It just shifted.

[Andy]

Everything held control. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby]

And it was the second day of the battle. The Nazis were gearing up to go attack the British. All the troops got up and they started marching forward. And then on the horizon appeared this. They cut. They said, an Egyptian soldier on a camel, but with a heavenly host behind him up on this hill where the church was standing.

[Andy]

Wow.

[Bobby]

And they started charging the Nazis, this heavenly host with this Egyptian soldier. And they all freaked and they ran back and they told the general. There we saw this bright sky. These looked like angels. And a man on a camel with thousands of other camels charging us. That's why we dipped out John's like, what are you talking about? But they got back and they continue to battle. The British beat the Nazis at El Alameen. And Churchill went on to say, before Alameen, El Alameen, we never had a victory after El Amin, we never had a defeat.

[Andy]

Whoa.

[Bobby]

So that was the turning point in World War II, was that battle.

[Andy]

Interesting.

[Bobby]

That just so happened to be where Saint Mini's bones were buried. This whole story about Saint Minius performing many miracles. And they say that Saint Minius, whether or not you believe in saint intervention and stuff like that, they said that he is basically the saint of protecting those in war. Like that's what he's known for.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

And so everyone in the orthodox faith, and apparently these Nazis, too, believe that Saint Minius appeared and helped the English defeat the Nazis at El Alamein.

[Andy]

That is crazy.

[Demi]

Crazy.

[Andy]

Super Recent, too.

[Bobby]

Yeah. 1942.

[Andy]

That's wild.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Golly. Could you imagine how scared you'd be.

[Bobby]

And this was the artwork in one of the churches. I think this is in Mount Athos that they did a depiction of it. Very cool. Why don't we send it?

[Andy]

You were right. This needs to be a movie.

[Bobby]

I know.

[Cameron]

It's called Lord of the Rings. On the third day, look to the east. Gandalf comes rushing down to the battle of For Helm's Deep.

[Bobby]

Look at that artwork I sent you.

[Andy]

Wow. That's so cool. It's literally what I picture in my mind.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Andy]

That's so neat. And the tanks. The juxtaposition of the angels and then the tanks. So cool.

[Demi]

Good.

[Andy]

Wow.

[Bobby]

Pretty rad.

[Andy]

That is so rad, dude.

[Bobby]

Setting stories of some of these martyrs and these saints. It's really cool. Very cool stuff.

[Demi]

I agree.

[Bobby]

And. Yep.

[Andy]

I love that. Where'd you hear about that?

[Bobby]

My favorite YouTube channel, Harmony.

[Andy]

Harmony. Yeah. That's cool, man.

[Bobby]

Dude.

[Andy]

A lot of good stuff.

[Bobby]

Amazing at storytelling.

[Demi]

They did just put out a video called Youth of the Apocalypse.

[Bobby]

Like a year old.

[Demi]

Oh, 45 minutes long. And it's probably the scariest video I've

[Bobby]

ever seen in my life.

[Andy]

What's it called?

[Demi]

Youth of the Apocalypse. It's just basically talking about our age, like, where we're at, this generation. This generation. And how there are many Antichrists right now and just the lies and deceptions that we're being told and how it really, truly is demons.

[Bobby]

And calling upon the rise of suicide in teens and calling it the last genocide.

[Cameron]

Wow.

[Bobby]

Basically, the evil is so permeated throughout the youth that they think it's better to kill themselves than turn to Christ.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

You know?

[Andy]

Yeah. It's terrible.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Andy]

And it's. Yeah, it's a sickness, dude. It's crazy. It's literally just an epidemic in our society. That's wild.

[Demi]

It felt like I kept thinking like Joshua and get the context because I don't think he's seen any of these. But the way that he did the video felt like American Horror Story. It was like.

[Bobby]

It was like, almost seemed like a brainwashing. It was like flash flashes of injury.

[Andy]

I just put on my watch later. So I'm gonna watch it.

[Demi]

Yeah, it was. It was powerful. I thought it was good.

[Bobby]

There was one story that was really intriguing from. It's pretty dark, but I'll just say was pretty cool. Basically talking about witchcraft. And he makes a distinction between soft core. What do you call it? Soft core occultism versus hardcore softcore. Being like, I'm dabbling in witchcraft, nature this. And then astral planing and, like, trying to do all this stuff. And then hardcore being, like, full on Satanists and just how softcore occultism is just interweaved within music and movies and, like, how it's just integrated throughout society. And then it talks about this one teenager who basically got into witchcraft.

[Demi]

He called. Yeah, Wicca.

[Bobby]

Specifically.

[Demi]

It was led by two women.

[Bobby]

Two women. And he was, like, in his high school or college age, and his friends

[Demi]

brought him into it. Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby]

And he said, like, he felt. He felt, like, magical. Like, he felt like, wow, there's this, like, real power and stuff he talked about. One night he went to sleep and he woke up because he had to pee. And he said, but I was paralyzed. My whole body was paralyzed, and I couldn't move. Oh, I could only open my eyes. And all of a sudden he said, it's like my body, like astral planning. Like, I left my body. I was above my body, and instantly these masses of demons grabbed onto me. And one of the first things they said is, you must be the stupidest human to ever exist. And they said, you've been dabbling in the stuff that you shouldn't have been dabbling in. You are condemned to hell. You are going to hell. They said, but we'll make you a deal. If you kill yourself, we'll let you become one of us. To where you torment other people instead of being tormented, instead of us sending you to hell to be tormented forever. And so he's like, okay, I'm gonna kill myself. And he said, but before I did the one thing I thought of, I said, jesus, if you're there, help.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

And he said, gone. Just turn bright, like light. Just pure white. And then he's like, how I was this. And then he heard God said, I just needed you to ask for me.

[Andy]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobby]

And he's like, and then I just turned my whole life to Christ after that shoot, man.

[Andy]

Golly.

[Bobby]

That's in the video. And it's like, it's on that same tone. It's like really dark, really scary. But like, with, like, the hope of Christ and stuff.

[Andy]

Yeah. That's what we got to realize, just how good and great God is. There's the opposite of that.

[Cameron]

Yeah.

[Andy]

And it exists and it's real.

[Cameron]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Geez, man, that stuff is so heavy.

[Demi]

I know.

[Andy]

We just. Yeah. We just think it's just in music and it's not a big deal. It's. It's in our culture, and it's just a part of our life, and we don't Think anything of it.

[Bobby]

Yeah, and it's scary. I mean, like, it's. I kind of. I make fun of my grandma sometimes. She was like, pokemon is like a bunch of demons and stuff. But in the same tone, she's like, yo, there's some music you listen to that's written by occultists that it's like, they have this specific way of writing stuff to where it's like, it is evil. Like, you're indoctrinating yourself with evil thoughts and stuff like that. And I'm like, I believe that.

[Andy]

Yeah. And that's wisdom. That's just stuff that you get older and you realize and obviously you could take it far away from, like, the point of Jesus. I think that's where we miss the mark sometimes is like giving God. We. We think Satan's this ultra powerful thing that's comparing, you know, comparing to God. You're like, oh, they're on the same level as, you know, as far as, like, power. But it's like, no, it's not. But you also just don't dabble in it. You know, if you have convictions, run from that.

[Cameron]

And two, like, if you're a person who's been in a place where you feel like you need to call out for help, like, I think it's important to know that while Jesus can in an instant intervene, I've. In my life, I've found him to be more present in the daily walking. So, like, there's nothing wrong if you found yourself in a dark place to just start stepping away from it and yeah, watch him slowly show up. Because I never want someone to be like, in a dark place. And then to be like, I need you now. And then a day later, everything feels the same. Like sometimes it is like that. Like, I think that's important to know. Absolutely. He can show up in an instant and often will.

[Bobby]

But in prayer, prayer is huge. Yeah, yeah.

[Cameron]

But like, walk, walk with him.

[Bobby]

And I actually, I'm reading this book right now. It's an orthodox book about this pilgrim. Basically, his question is like, he's. He walks all across of Russia and his one question is like, how do I pray? Unceasingly.

[Demi]

Yeah. What does that mean?

[Bobby]

Calls us to pray unceasingly. Like, what does that mean? So this book is about. It's really cool, but it specifies and it gets into, like, he talks to these monks. And like, a great practice to start doing is saying the Jesus prayer. Because what it's doing is professing Christ and professing your need for him. And the Fact that you're a sinner. Like, it's this. It's this beautiful.

[Demi]

There's humility in it.

[Cameron]

Yeah.

[Demi]

Which actually, we went to divine liturgy this last weekend, and he. He taught on where the Jesus prayer comes from, which is really cool. It's that story where it's like the Pharisee and then tax collector. Tax collector. And the pharisee is like, look at everything I'm doing, you know, this thing.

[Bobby]

And, like, at least I'm not like these people.

[Demi]

At least I'm not like them. And then the tax collector says, lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner. And it's like, be like this, man.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Demi]

You know? And that's the prayer.

[Bobby]

The prayer is, lord Jesus Christ, have mercy. Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

And just. Just re. Even repeating that. It creates the mantra in your head of, like, giving glory to Christ, who is our only savior. And it's just a really cool prayer. So, like, if you don't know how to pray, that's a great way to start praying.

[Demi]

Yeah, for sure.

[Andy]

And it just. And it doesn't matter on where you're at in your life too, because we expect Jesus to show up and everything to get better.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Andy]

You know, like, we. That the vert. Jeremiah. What is it? 29 11, you know, for. I know the plans I have to you plans for prosper. It's like that gets read at every, like, graduation. Like, it's a happy go lucky thing. But he's literally talking to people who are in captivity.

[Demi]

Yeah, dude.

[Andy]

And then later on, he tells them, you know, grow a garden, you know? You know, have children do all these things, but they're, like, in captivity. Like, why are you telling us to settle down in captivity? He's like, no. He's like, this is where you're gonna be delivered. But right now, you need to adjust where your heart and your perspective and be where you're at and accept that God has you where he wants you right now and love him and accept him. Pray to him constantly.

[Demi]

So good.

[Andy]

Yeah, just wait for him. Wait for him.

[Bobby]

So cool.

[Andy]

Speaking of good stuff.

[Bobby]

Speaking of kind of cool, but also really creepy.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

The Piedmo catacombs.

[Andy]

Dude, you're killing the pronunciation.

[Demi]

I like the accent with it.

[Andy]

There was. Our girls are at a new co op, and there's a guy who's teaching them music and stuff. They bring in a couple to teach music, and he's. He has a very Italian accent. And then Demi's like, are you speaking Spanish? No, it's Italian. He has a very thick accent.

[Demi]

I sound, like, very dissimilar.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Demi]

A is really into, like, practicing her Chinese.

[Bobby]

She's convinced she speaks Chinese, too.

[Andy]

That's great. How do you know? You don't know if she is.

[Demi]

I know. We saw.

[Bobby]

Sounds a lot like Spanish, but we

[Demi]

saw Jace, too, whatever. When we came in last week, and she was like, konichiwa. Filipino.

[Andy]

All right, so what's the name of it?

[Bobby]

Beo. Catacombs.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Bobby]

Catacombs of Sicily.

[Demi]

I love a catacomb.

[Bobby]

You think. You think the catacombs of France are spooky?

[Andy]

Very spooky.

[Bobby]

The Piermo catacombs. Very spooky.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Demi]

Weren't they. Wasn't there a time when they were trying to get people to buy in there?

[Bobby]

To buy.

[Demi]

You remember how they have those, like, things going on in Europe where they're like, come live here and we'll pay you?

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Demi]

I swear they were talking about that area.

[Bobby]

Really?

[Andy]

Could you imagine signing up? They're like, all the tourists.

[Cameron]

Yeah.

[Andy]

But it's like they show you all the pictures of it. Like, oh, you know what? I gotta go to Sicily. We got.

[Bobby]

Let's move.

[Andy]

A family.

[Bobby]

It's so funny.

[Andy]

Live in the catacombs.

[Bobby]

But it's basically this tunnel system that these monks discovered, that it preserves bodies incredibly well because of how dry it is. And so in this catacomb, this tunnel system, there's thousands of bodies that are typically standing upright.

[Demi]

What? Stop that.

[Bobby]

Fully dressed. Of, like, what they die. And so there's, like. There's monks, men, women, children. They said virgins were buried there.

[Demi]

How do they know?

[Bobby]

I mean, it's probably documentation.

[Demi]

Okay.

[Bobby]

But a lot of them are still wearing, like, military uniforms, wedding dresses. There's, like, nuns in their nunnery gowns.

[Cameron]

Yeah. Whatever they're called.

[Andy]

Scary.

[Demi]

Very.

[Bobby]

But they started doing this in the 1600s. So bodies, basically, it's like. It's a timeline of people that are, like.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Very well preserved in this catacombs.

[Andy]

You're literally walking through, like, a historical timeline.

[Bobby]

Yeah. And they're. I mean, they're all mummified. Like, they're just like. But there's this one, and this is a very sad thing, but it's. It's this. They call her the Sleeping Beauty of Palermo. Sleeping Beard of Palermo. This little girl, she died in 1920. She was 2 years old.

[Demi]

Oh, stop then. I can't.

[Bobby]

But her body is so well preserved that it's been over a hundred years. Look at this. And I only say this because. And I know in the Catholic and the Orthodox church a lot of them believe that there's some saints that when they die, their body just never corrodes and never corrupts. And this little girl, she's been in this catacomb. She's the most well preserved body in this catacomb. Look at the picture.

[Demi]

Oh, I don't want to.

[Bobby]

A hundred years old.

[Andy]

Dude, this is nutso.

[Bobby]

And they've done X rays. They've done X rays. And her organs in her brain. Her organs are still intact and her brain is still preserved.

[Andy]

Wow. How does that happen?

[Bobby]

And I'll. It's. It's incredibly sad, but it's like, it's also like. I think it's just kind of cool. It's just like, especially in the perspective of like how some believe that saints, when they die, like their bodies never decay and this two year old's body has not decayed.

[Demi]

That's crazy.

[Bobby]

I just thought it was crazy.

[Demi]

It's really cool.

[Bobby]

It's a spooky place.

[Demi]

Why are they putting people in this hole? In this.

[Bobby]

It's just a burial place. Oh yeah.

[Andy]

I'm looking at. Just scrolling through pictures. It's because it's like a well lit. All the walls are white and it's scary. Dude, there's all. There's bishops.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Golly man. They're all standing up.

[Bobby]

Not a place where you want to spend the night. I would say.

[Andy]

No, I watched the movie as above, so below and it's all about like. It's literally a horror movie, but it's in the French catacombs and it's terrifying. And I can imagine this is. This is even scarier.

[Demi]

Is there a monster in there?

[Andy]

Like ghosts and stuff? Yeah, like. Yeah.

[Cameron]

Imagine walking down that catacomb, well lit and then just the power goes out. Feel your way out. No.

[Bobby]

Anyways, I know that was a sad story about that girl, but she is actually, they say the most preserved human bodies in history.

[Demi]

Wow. Interesting.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Demi]

Very cool.

[Andy]

Yeah. That doesn't look like a person that's been dead for the past hundred years.

[Bobby]

No.

[Andy]

That's wild, man.

[Demi]

Nice, nice.

[Andy]

Anyways, you can just take tours of that place. No, thank you.

[Demi]

Nope.

[Andy]

I mean I probably.

[Bobby]

I think I was pronouncing it wrong the whole time.

[Cameron]

That's fine.

[Bobby]

Oh, geez.

[Demi]

I'm ready. I was gonna say I'm ready for a ninja trip, but I guess we're getting ready to go on one.

[Andy]

Palermo.

[Bobby]

Palermo.

[Andy]

Yeah, that's what it looks like Palermo.

[Bobby]

Was I saying that?

[Andy]

I think so. But you just had an accent on it.

[Bobby]

Anyways.

[Andy]

Imagine if Luca the movie went. They went down in the category.

[Demi]

I love Luga. That movie is like up there for me. In favorite Disney movies ever, I think.

[Andy]

Yeah. Obviously the environment helps out a ton. It's such a fun, cool place.

[Demi]

The music and also the memories. Ada loved that movie as a baby. Her first birthday was Luca.

[Andy]

Yeah. That was cool. And she turned five. Dude. She's gonna be five when we go to California on our way back. That's gonna be so fun.

[Demi]

We literally are flying on her birthday.

[Andy]

We gotta make it super special.

[Demi]

I know. I love that girl.

[Bobby]

We'll get the flight attendant to get the plane to sing Happy Birthday or something.

[Demi]

But then they give her the microphone. Can you imagine? Yeah. How she's going to take it and do that heavy breathing into like for the whole airplane.

[Andy]

Oh, we're going down.

[Cameron]

No.

[Andy]

Later. It a stop.

[Demi]

There's a bomb.

[Cameron]

You guys are a third of the way to her driving.

[Demi]

Stop it.

[Cameron]

Dang.

[Demi]

That's. She's going to be a liability.

[Andy]

I never thought about that. Yeah. Her literally half and true.

[Demi]

She's a way better driver than I am.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Cameron]

Way better.

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

She knows where the brakes at.

[Cameron]

Look at this.

[Demi]

Look at that. Look at that.

[Andy]

Hey. Nice. Feeling better?

[Demi]

A lot better. Although I think it's starting to fuse where I can't.

[Andy]

That's a bummer.

[Bobby]

You know what makes me really mad?

[Andy]

What?

[Bobby]

What is gravity? I know we've talked about it before. Yeah, but I just watched the Y files. He did a video on what we Talked about the August 12th. August 12th. A day where Earth lose grab loses grav gravity.

[Demi]

It's what they're alleging.

[Bobby]

Yeah. It's complete. Whatever video is really good.

[Cameron]

It was very fun to watch.

[Bobby]

Also really spooky. But at the end he's like this is all fake. Yeah, of course. But what he mentioned on there was the fact that Earth itself has gravity gravitational anomalies. So basically gravity anomalies are regions where Earth's gravitational pull is slightly stronger or weaker than expected. Not only have to feel directly but measurable by satellites and precision instruments. Two of the strangest and most talked about are the long studied anomaly around the Hudson Bay.

[Demi]

Where's that?

[Bobby]

Like New York. And massive low gravity dent in the Indian Ocean known as the Indian Ocean Geoid low. What? And that just. That messed with my head because I'm much like. I've just. I guess I've always thought that Gravity on Earth is just. It's one thing uniform.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

But there's parts of Earth to where gravity is just slightly different.

[Andy]

I guess that makes sense. Right? And it can't be perfect all the way around. I mean, I'm trying to think of, like. I mean, you just think about how, you know, we have different points and high points, like, for waves and stuff like that, and, like, currents, Same thing, almost. Like, you just have different areas. Like, it would be like, okay, so why doesn't have every ocean have the same amount of current and way, like, wave heights and stuff like that?

[Demi]

Does that have to do with our ozone layer?

[Cameron]

No, this. This says that mass. Yeah. The simplest way to explain gravity is that mass attracts mass, and so we are drawn to it. The Earth's rotation equals MC square.

[Andy]

Yeah, Nailed it.

[Cameron]

But the rotation of the Earth actually reduces it because it would be spinning it off of it. But then because the ear isn't perfectly symmetrical, those are the spots that are.

[Bobby]

But basically, what he was getting to is you had Isaac Newton, who's, like, one of the first to observe gravity and, like, create a formula for it, which is insane.

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Cameron]

And no one thinks about it before.

[Bobby]

Why does this fall?

[Cameron]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

And then Einstein basically created a better formula for it. Basically, we're like, in space, there's dark matter, and mass is basically stretching on it like a trampoline. So, like, it's like mass moves and then math. It's. It's crazy. But no one can still explain what is gravity.

[Demi]

I know.

[Andy]

We just can't.

[Bobby]

You can't observe it.

[Demi]

Yeah, we are. We are so childlike in our understanding of every single thing that happens on this planet.

[Andy]

We got to figure it out.

[Cameron]

Is light energy or mass? The answer is both.

[Bobby]

The answer is all above yes.

[Andy]

Did. I saw a guy talking the other day. He's like, you know how we have those telescopes? NASA has those telescopes. They could zoom into the Moon and see, like, the smallest details on all the craters. Says, why aren't we in space on the ISS or whatever, zooming in to Earth and like, say, you know, North America's up here. You have Australia down here. Why don't we just zoom in Australia? And you would see, like, their perspective. Your perspective would be, they're almost upside down. Oh, yeah, because they're on the other side. But yet they'd be still standing up because, you know, gravity and stuff like that. So he's like, prove it then. If we're not a flat Earth, he says, then zoom in and show Australia people walking Upside down. He says, I mean. I mean, come on. Like, we just, like, we don't ever get to see, like a good zoom in. Then people are like, have you not seen Google Earth? I'm like, I don't think that's how Google Earth works. There's not like a satellite in space giving you real time footage of how everything works, but it's like.

[Bobby]

It's a collection of pictures.

[Andy]

It is interesting. I would love to see an actual, like, seeing.

[Bobby]

That's a very.

[Andy]

Planes landing and stuff.

[Cameron]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

It's just concept of, like, you're just. You're looking up and, like, there's people above you walking. Yeah. Yeah.

[Andy]

That would be cool to see. I would love to see that. Make it happen.

[Demi]

There's something behind that I don't understand.

[Andy]

I mean, as soon as I saw it, I was like, oh, that's interesting. I never really thought about that.

[Bobby]

That's like, if you were like, if. Let's make it for scale. If the Earth was like this big.

[Cameron]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

And you were to put it above you.

[Andy]

You're underneath the Earth.

[Bobby]

You'd be underneath the Earth. You should, in theory, be able to look up and people like, you should see, like, the tops of their heads walking like this.

[Cameron]

I mean, it just.

[Bobby]

I mean, it looked like that maybe anywhere on Earth, but.

[Andy]

Yeah. If you're on the other side, it

[Cameron]

looked like every aerial photo.

[Bobby]

I know, but it was just.

[Andy]

Just I. I'm seeing it like, in space. Like, if you're zooming in, like. I mean. Yeah, I don't. I don't know. I don't know.

[Cameron]

I'm.

[Andy]

I. I guess my mind's just blown by it a little.

[Demi]

If Andy wins the lottery, this is what you should commission to be done.

[Andy]

Could you imagine that's what I spend my money on. And they're like, yeah, it's obvious.

[Demi]

It'll be one of the most viewed videos on YouTube. You'll make so much residual.

[Cameron]

Exactly. Like Google Earth.

[Bobby]

I think they say that the gravity is made of a particle called a graviton.

[Cameron]

I believe that is a word.

[Demi]

Are you making that up?

[Cameron]

Graviton's a word?

[Bobby]

No, I. I don't know if that's the. That's the molecule of gravity and. But they've never been able to observe it. They don't even know what it looks like.

[Demi]

They can only observe the effects of

[Bobby]

it or its functionality. Like. Like. But they know what it does.

[Demi]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Is it a graviton?

[Cameron]

Graviton is a hypothetical particle, a not yet observed quantum of Gravity. So a photon would be carrier. Carrier of electromagnetic force and then other words that I'm not going to try to pronounce.

[Andy]

Graviton is also the ride that you ride at the county fair. Is it the Gravitron?

[Demi]

You would know. You would know.

[Andy]

I would know. There's so much fun.

[Demi]

I always think about what Albert Einstein said in his love letter to his daughter about how love is a force not yet measurable, but is akin to gravity.

[Bobby]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was fake.

[Cameron]

Yeah.

[Demi]

What?

[Andy]

Yeah, you're the one that read it, though.

[Bobby]

I know you read it.

[Demi]

I know you think that was fake.

[Bobby]

Well, because I looked it up later and I think people made that up.

[Andy]

Einstein wasn't actually that smart. Guys,

[Demi]

you ruined my day.

[Bobby]

I'm sorry.

[Andy]

Then you make that letter to your daughter, because then she'll look it up, be like, wow.

[Demi]

She'll be like, you're not.

[Andy]

She's the first person.

[Demi]

I don't know if.

[Bobby]

I don't know if it's been proven, but they said it's. It seemed like it was potentially a forged letter.

[Demi]

Did his daughter write it to herself?

[Bobby]

I don't know.

[Andy]

I'm gonna start doing that.

[Demi]

But what if we end up finding out that, like, all the fruits of the spirit have, like, a quantifiable energy?

[Cameron]

There aren't multiple fruits.

[Demi]

The fruit of the spirit.

[Andy]

Good job. I read that in Revelations.

[Demi]

Enough, all right? Keep talking. Don't go away from me.

[Bobby]

I don't understand gravity anyways. Gravity. Please come near me because I don't know what you are.

[Andy]

Would you. Would you want to know? What if the answer scared you?

[Demi]

What if you got trapped like Matthew McConaughey in the Tesseract?

[Andy]

Don't let him go, Murph. Dude. Saddest scene of all the world. So sad. I hate that movie sometimes.

[Demi]

I know.

[Bobby]

I love it.

[Andy]

Heart wrenching.

[Bobby]

All the feels.

[Andy]

Speaking of dark matter, you guys need to watch the show Dark Matter on Apple tv.

[Bobby]

I heard it. You told me. It's good.

[Andy]

It's so good, man. It's the guy from Train Dreams. And that's Jennifer Conley. And this. She's the girl in Pan's Labyrinth. You'd recognize her. She has. Yeah, she's. She's huge. But, yeah, it's phenomenal. And it's. It's literally this guy who's like a. Like a. I can't even think of the fancy term, but he's like a scientist. And they do. There's this just basically this black cube. They go inside and it opens up into like multiverses basically. But it's just this kind of a darker. Not really darker, but it's just very drama show. And it's. He sees that he finds his wife in another reality where they didn't get married and she pursued her dreams. And so it's just kind of. But she's, She's. She's in love. Like in the. The reality that he's in. Like, they're in love. They have a great marriage and she truly does love him, but he just gets to view her as a friend. Like, they were just good friends and she pursued her art career and she was successful and all this stuff. But you could tell that there's still a connection between them too. So it just. It's a good love story too. But it's absolutely.

[Bobby]

How can I ruin that?

[Andy]

How could I?

[Cameron]

I don't like your joy.

[Bobby]

I don't like that you feel happy.

[Andy]

I don't like that you're more successful than me.

[Bobby]

Speaking of more successful.

[Andy]

Yeah. We're gonna get more successful after this episode, aren't we?

[Bobby]

After this episode. On our Patreon. Patreon.com/forward/ninjas or Butterflies. Where Episode.

[Demi]

Right.

[Bobby]

For this. Or YouTube members, guys, we talk about

[Andy]

all types of stuff, stories that we couldn't get into. We sometimes play copyrighted music because YouTube doesn't like that. It's an absolute blast. And you get to hang out with us more. And we love hanging out with you guys. And so we're not saying that selfishly. We're. And we are saying that selfishly, we like hanging out with you guys.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Andy]

So we like continue this conversation.

[Bobby]

I do have another story about a saint. Saint Moses the Black, which apparently is

[Demi]

a movie about him.

[Bobby]

Which apparently there's a movie about him.

[Andy]

Let's go watch it. So it's gonna be great.

[Bobby]

We got some good stuff.

[Andy]

Yes, we do. I got some. We got. Amazon came out with a new invention recently that's gonna be incorporating into your home, spying on you in your homes.

[Demi]

Excellent.

[Bobby]

Yes, Very good.

[Andy]

It's very good. So make sure to go to patreon.com ninjas or butterflies or download the app. The app's great. You can close out of the app and everything and it still plays in the background. So if you guys don't want to spend money on that premium YouTube, guess what? You still get behind the scenes footage. All of this stuff right there in the one app. And we post constantly. We posted the. We practice a song today that we uploaded. Yes, yes, you go check that out.

[Bobby]

And if you guys want some ninja Swag, go to cinecoolswag.com we got some new shirts coming.

[Andy]

Pretty sick. I cannot wait to wear that one.

[Bobby]

Yeah, it's gonna be dope.

[Cameron]

Should I pop it up?

[Andy]

Should I show them just for what, like a half a second?

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Cameron]

Still freeze it, though. So if you don't want.

[Andy]

Okay, that's fine. If you do it. It. If you pause this. Yeah, you were. You deserve it.

[Demi]

A bunch of them missed it and they're like, oh, let me say, you got to be quicker than that.

[Andy]

Oh, you got to be quicker than that.

[Bobby]

And if you need custom apparel, go to sundaycool.com and get your custom apparel for your group church business. Whatever.

[Andy]

Yes.

[Cameron]

Next.

[Andy]

Next month, we're going to be dropping a giveaway for. Everyone gets to get a prize, whether it's stickers. Some of you guys are going to get free shirts, so keep an eye out for that.

[Cameron]

And this. This isn't just a sponsored ad read. When I was a youth pastor, I used Sunday Cool. Lily was actually my rep. And they were great the whole way.

[Bobby]

Same Sunday Cool.

[Andy]

Yep.

[Bobby]

And wherever you're watching, subscribe. Please give us five stars on everything.

[Demi]

I wasn't your rep. No, I think

[Andy]

John Swope, that was your rap Joplin name drop.

[Demi]

Duh.

[Cameron]

All right, guys.

[Bobby]

All right. We love you.

[Cameron]

Love you.

[Bobby]

Bye bye. Bye, bye, bye bye.

[Andy]

Dolphin.

[Cameron]

What you're about to see.

[Andy]

Wow.

[Cameron]

May disturb you if any of you know what these multi decade UAP dolphins are.

[Bobby]

Aliens.

[Andy]

Bottle nose fish pigs.

[Demi]

Was a massive police response.

[Andy]

Oh, the dolphin thing. Oh, my God.

[Cameron]

Dolphin style.

[Demi]

Attack.

[Andy]

It.

[Bobby]

Me.
