Yeah, the better Hawaii.
Josh
Yeah. Yep.
Justin Stewart
Yeah.
Josh
Mahalo. Speaking of meth, did you guys see. I just saw this pop up. Scientists have found cocaine in every single shrimp they have tested in England's waterways.
Andy
Cocaine? This isn't. Is this the news that you're going to tell me about?
Josh
No.
Michael
Oh, no, no.

Josh
Scientists have found cocaine in every single shrimp they have tested in England's waterways.
Justin Stewart
Isn't cocaine man made though?
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
Well, here's the thing. Listen. It says research made by shrimp.
Andy
Oh, ground shrimp.
Josh
Researchers analyzing freshwater shrimp in sulfolk rivers found traces of cocaine in every sample along with ketamine, pharmaceuticals and ban pesticides. The contamination is tied to treated wastewater and runoff showing how human activity continuously feeds chemical residues into river systems. Blah, blah, blah. Who cares? These shrimp are on cocaine.
Justin Stewart
So if you eat it, what happens?
Josh
You're going to have a great night.
Michael
No wonder.
Josh
Really love disco music.
Andy
These English people are really uptight for. We found out why.
Josh
Yeah.
Andy
Wow.
Josh
That just reminds me though we're starting the war. I was holding a piece of information.
Andy
Withhold news. Yes.
Josh
That we just discovered this morning. So those that are watching, we film a week in advance.
Andy
They know already.
Josh
Yeah, they know already.
Andy
I don't.
Michael
Wait, maybe he does it.
Josh
I don't know.
Andy
Okay, there's apparently big news that dropped today that it's like this huge.
Justin Stewart
Then I'm unaware of it because I.
Andy
Oh, this is gonna be fun. Because I've been.
Josh
I don't know if it's gonna be fun.
Andy
I don't probably not.
Michael
To continue building the suspense, can you pull your mic just a hair hair closer?
Justin Stewart
Yes, there we go.
Michael
Okay, there we go.
Andy
I see. I'm thinking, is it politics? Is it a death of a celebrity? Is it news of a celebrity Or a politician is a new movie that drops. You see bad news.
Justin Stewart
That's bad news.
Andy
Okay, it seems bad news.
Michael
The worst news.
Josh
Oh, no, I gave you three guesses.
Andy
Okay. Am I in the right realm of, like, is it celebrity based?
Josh
It's not a yes or no. You just get three. Yes.
Andy
Okay. I'm going to say Jim Carrey is the person who killed JonBenet Ramsey. Okay. I'm going to also guess Donald Trump is in fact the time traveler. And it's been proven by photos from the 1920s. Okay. Final guess is going to be that there is peace in the Middle East.
Josh
Now, that is quite the opposite. Oh, no.
Andy
Okay.
Michael
Couldn't find my last.
Andy
Yeah, I guess. I mean, bad news probably for some people, but. Okay, I have no idea. I literally have no idea. And I've been in knots about it all morning because I've put on my phone on do not disturb everything. I've been off TikTok Instagram because you said I can't get on anything. What happened? This is true.
Josh
This is true.
Justin Stewart
This has got to be a joke.
Josh
This is not a joke. Our beloved, our rock, Chuck Norris has passed away.
Andy
No.
Justin Stewart
Geez.
Andy
For real?
Josh
For real.
Andy
This can't be real. There's no way you can kill him.
Josh
He's done.
Justin Stewart
How?
Josh
He's gone.
Michael
Hawaiians.
Josh
86 years old. Said he was rushed to the hospital. No sudden death.
Andy
Dude, we can't continue.
Justin Stewart
Yeah.
Andy
Chuck Norris is dead.
Josh
I know.
Andy
What is happening?
Justin Stewart
He is the only invincible human.
Josh
I thought he was the one that was going to bring peace to the Middle East.
Andy
He's the reason why we won't have it.
Justin Stewart
There's got to be a conspiracy behind that one.
Josh
Yeah, I'm sure there is.
Andy
Who took him out?
Josh
I'm not going to say I know who. Exactly.
Andy
There was a jet that actually left his residence that day. And you're not gonna believe which country linked to guys.
Josh
It rhymes with Schmerica Perk.
Andy
Dude, that's so sad.
Josh
It's terrible.
Andy
That's a leg. Oh, he's a legend.
Michael
Yeah. And first family, we're not making light of his death.
Josh
No, no. This is terrible.
Michael
It sucks.
Andy
No, it's terrible. No, that's. That's the crazy thing now. I don't even know. Young people don't even probably get the references and the jokes. You remember how many times we would make jokes? Like, night wasn't even jokes. It was just comparisons of how great and strong Chuck Norris was.
Josh
Undefeated.
Andy
Yeah, I mean, what's your favorite one? What's your favorite Chuck Norris fan?
Josh
Don't ask me to. I don't know.
Andy
You don't know?
Josh
I can't.
Andy
I remember that.
Justin Stewart
I have never seen a Chuck Norris movie. I only know him from the memes.
Andy
My grandma used to have him on repeat, and she would fall asleep with the remote, and I would sit there
Josh
and I mean, I would watch the.
Andy
Want to get up and like.
Josh
Texas Ranger. Yeah, yeah.
Andy
Protects Ranger. Yeah. But always, like, whenever Chuck Norris does push ups, he doesn't push himself up. He pushes the earth down.
Michael
Yeah, yeah.
Justin Stewart
Wait, so in his movies, was he. Why. Why the memes that he is this.
Josh
He's Kung Fu. He fought Bruce Lee and beat him. Beat him.
Andy
He's just. He's just everything he does. He's just the strongest guy that walks in the room, and he's the nicest and kindest guy, but you get on his. Bat your bad side. Bad News Bears. We got to play that Chuck Norris clip with a little kid.
Josh
Let me stop you guys there, though. Everyone watching, we're pulling one comment a week and sending you a plethora of ninja swag. So make sure to, like, subscribe and comment. We're doing the call to action now.
Andy
Yes.
Josh
Because YouTube do it. YouTube has been giving us the run around. In fact, a lot of people commented, oh, my gosh, I didn't know you guys were still making videos.
Justin Stewart
Yeah, yeah, but they've been, like, not pushing your videos out.
Josh
They've been. We've been saying too much about.
Justin Stewart
You got to take it easy. They're watching.
Josh
Apparently you can't say Chef Schmeffrey bepsine.
Andy
No, you can't say. No, that was way too close.
Josh
Yeah, that was too close.
Andy
But, yeah, if you comment right now, we're pinning a comment. Our. Not our favorite comment. Maybe because there's a lot of fear. We're randomly picking a comment. We're going to pin it. We're going to send you merch. I'm going to reply to the comment. You email us, send us your shirt size, your address, no credit card numbers necessary. We want to send you merch. I mean, it's definitely optional. If you want to send it, send it. Come on. We're not going to turn that down, but we want to send everyone merch. So every week you get a chance. Yeah, leave a comment right now.
Josh
Yeah.
Andy
Leave your favorite Chuck Norris FAQ in the comments.
Josh
Yeah, yeah.
Justin Stewart
Speaking of what you just said, though, it's kind of funny you said sending fans, sending you guys money. That could be a reality because it was for us at one point, which was super interesting.
Andy
What do you mean?
Justin Stewart
We. We were trying to hit a milestone, and we were like, okay, if we hit, I can't remember which one. It was like a million or something like that. If we hit this milestone, Andrew is going to go bald.
Andy
Oh.
Justin Stewart
And so we started this thing called the Bald Andy foundation, and we had a P.O. box. We weren't asking for people to send money, but it started like, we are opening fan mail, and someone's like, I would like to donate to the Bald Andy Foundation. Literally probably hundreds of dollars. That's coming.
Andy
So funny.
Justin Stewart
And it was hilarious because we're like, why are you guys giving us money? And it was just so.
Andy
Yeah. Hey, I'm already a member of the Bald Andy Foundation. Hey, there we go. I'm a supporter.
Josh
Speaking of being bald at a really young age.
Andy
Stop.
Justin Stewart
Right out of the womb.
Josh
Do you want a song?
Justin Stewart
I'd love a song.
Josh
All right.
Andy
You got a theme genre?
Justin Stewart
Oh, since we started the pod, a little more pop punky.
Andy
Okay, let's do it. Pop punky.
Josh
I really wish we would have had time to write a song about Chuck Norris. Next week.
Andy

Justin Stewart

Next week.
Andy

Justin Stewart
That was fire. Do you guys drop these songs anywhere you only just.
Andy
We drop some on Spotify. People want to. People want us to drop a record.
Josh
Basically, we were just saying youtubers have it just as hard as veterans.
Andy
It's on par with World War II
Josh
veterans, I would say.
Justin Stewart
It's up there, man.
Josh
Storming Normandy, D Day, you know?

Same as, you know, your algorithm just getting a lot of whack.
Andy
Trying to get on the training page.
Michael
I'd like to see a veteran try to edit a podcast.
Justin Stewart
Yeah, you guys. You guys weren't on YouTube when. Oh, wait, you said 10 years. 10 plus years.
Josh
Because you knew.
Justin Stewart
So you remember adpocalypse?
Josh
No. No.
Justin Stewart
Yeah, there's a whole thing going around adpocalypses here because advertisers were really striking against certain types of. Types of content, prank content and everything. So it was. Yeah. I mean, comparing it to veterans.
Josh
Yeah, I mean, basically the same, like the apocalypse sometimes.
Andy
Some would say we even have it tougher because some would say that. I mean, we get woke up in the night, we find out our video got flagged.
Josh
Yeah, that's like ptsd. Oh, my gosh.
Michael
I mean, look. Look at the. I mean, it's in the finances, though. The military. You get a sign on bonus. You have to build your channel for years before you get paid.
Josh
Exactly.
Andy
That's what we're saying.
Josh
And for those who are freaking out right now, we're obviously joking. Respect the heck out of our veterans. And this is nothing like that. Justin gets it.
Andy
Yeah, Justin gets it.
Josh
Oh, we're. We're having fun.
Andy
We're having a good time.

Justin Stewart
Well, then give us some good news.
Josh

Andy
Definitely.
Josh
So it's really riding on you, man. Okay. Every week, the billions of fans, they send in tens of billions of questions, and we try to find the ones that we can answer with confidence to help. To help people. We like to help people. I think you do too, Justin. That's why I'm gonna ask you this question. It's a yes or no. There's. Don't. Please don't expound upon it.
Michael

Josh
It's a yes or no.
Justin Stewart
So you get it.
Josh
Today's question, suited by a viewer. Justin, are all influencers evil?
Justin Stewart
No.
Josh
No.
Michael
Dang, dude,
Justin Stewart
I told you we need some good news. All influencers are not evil. Oh, well, I don't want to expand. You said yes or no, but I added a little to the end there.
Josh
This was to set the tone. Justin, you're almost there. We were almost There we were almost best friends.
Justin Stewart
Well, you didn't explain exactly what you.
Andy
What you meant, Justin.
Josh
You knew what I meant.
Michael
Pretty simple.
Josh
Obviously, we're talking about the evil men. The men that influence her. Her being all women to do bad things.
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
Men that are influencing her. Women. I think you would have known that.
Andy
At least you made it very clear.
Josh
They're not. They're not evil. They just keep doing what you're doing, man.
Andy
That's what Justin's saying.
Josh
That's what. I'm pretty sure that's exactly what he said.
Andy
He said, yeah. You know what? If you can manipulate them, manipulate him.
Josh
That is what he said. It's funny.
Andy
He's laughing.
Justin Stewart
Justin, I said no.
Josh
You're in hot water, buddy.
Justin Stewart
I said no.
Josh
This hot. This water is getting me hotter. It's starting up.
Justin Stewart
So you're saying yes.
Josh
I don't know what you're accusing me of.
Andy
Don't try to twist.
Justin Stewart
I'm just trying to read between the lines here, between you guys.
Josh
The line is gaslighting you. This is. You can't do that.
Justin Stewart
Are you gaslighting me?
Josh
No, I'm not gaslighting you. Are you gaslighting me?
Andy
It's not even a word, dude.
Justin Stewart
Yes. What?
Andy
It's not even a phrase, what you're saying.
Justin Stewart
I just heard it online.
Josh
Leave those women alone. Tell those men to leave those women alone.
Justin Stewart
Not you.
Andy
Let them make their own decision. Decisions?
Josh
Yeah.
Andy
Women are strong enough to make their own decisions.
Josh
Women are strong enough to make their own decisions.
Andy
I always said that.
Josh
Yet he's always said that. You haven't said that, though, right now. Well, I guess you guys heard here first.
Justin Stewart
Listen.
Josh
No, save it. Save it.
Andy
Save it. Fine.
Justin Stewart
Fine, fine, fine. Move on.
Josh
We're moving on. Did I say ninja?
Andy
I meant butterfly. The butterfly.
Josh
I is no doubt one of God's.
Andy
You were martial arts.
Josh
If your schedule gets busy, eating well is usually the first thing to fall off.
Andy
That's why Factor works, folks. It's fully prepared meals designed by dietitians and made and prepared by real chefs, ready in just two minutes. No planning, no cooking.
Josh
What are you eating lately, Andy?
Andy
I had the Tex Mex chicken bowl right after a workout last week, and honestly, it was a great call. Good protein, good flavor, and it actually kept me full.
Josh
And the ingredients are solid?
Andy
They sure are. Lean proteins, vegetables, whole foods, healthy fats. No refined sugars or artificial sweeteners. No refined seed oils.
Josh
So it actually fits your goals.

Josh
I feel like you're uniquely qualified for this ad, Andy.
Andy
Why? Because I'm bald?
Josh
Because you shave your head every single day, buddy.
Andy
Yeah, I do, okay? And I'm not. I'm not embarrassed to say it. This isn't just a once a week thing to look this good. Daily maintenance type of thing. If a razor's bad, I find out immediately.
Josh
That is fair.
Andy
And that's why I switched to Harry's Plus.
Josh
Ding.
Andy
When you're shaving your head every single day like I am, listen, you need something consistent. No tugging, no irritation, no guessing.
Josh
So what stood out to you with this Harry's?
Andy
Let me tell you, Josh, the first shave felt smooth and controlled. The pivoting head helps a lot, especially on the back of your head when things go wrong real fast.
Josh
Yeah, that is a risky area, Andy.
Andy
Very. And the blade spacing helps it glide without clogging, which matters when you're doing this literally every day. And the blades themselves, German engineered. And I think we can trust the Germans, okay? They're honed at three angles. It cuts clean without pulling, which is the biggest thing I look for.
Josh
And the handle is heavier too.
Andy
Yes, it is. Yes, it's weighted metal handle makes it so easy to control. It just feels more solid when you're using it.
Josh
Which matters when you're doing this daily.
Andy
Exactly. And look, if I'm trusting it every day on my head, that says a lot.
Josh
Also doesn't cost a fortune.
Andy
Yeah, and that's the other part. They own their own factory, so you're not paying crazy prices for these refills.
Josh
And it's risk free.
Andy
Seriously, if you don't like it, they'll make it right? No questions asked.
Josh
For a limited time, our listeners can get Harry's plush trial set for only $10@Harry's.com ninjas.
Andy
This secludes it all, folks. All new Harry's plus razor. One refined five blade cartridge, a two ounce foaming shave gel and a travel cover to protect your blades on the go.
Josh
Just head to harry's.comninjas to claim this
Andy
offer and after you purchase they'll ask you, hey, where'd you hear about us? Please support the show and tell them we sent you. Thank you, Harry.
Josh
I feel like glasses are one of those things you wear every day, but people overthink the buying process.
Andy
Yeah, or they just avoid it all together because it's super confusing or overpriced.
Josh
Which is why Warby Parker makes sense.
Andy
Exactly. And that's where I got these sunglasses from. They've made it straightforward, folks. You can actually find something that looks good, fits your face and doesn't feel like a whole ordeal to buy.
Josh
And you don't have to guess anymore.
Andy
That's where the virtual try on comes in. You can use your phone and see the frames on your face in real time. It actually gives you a real sense of how they look.
Josh
That's a big upgrade from guessing off of just a tiny photo.
Andy
Huge. And once you get them, the quality is obvious. The frames feel solid, they're comfortable and they hold up super well.
Josh
And the price is reasonable.
Andy
Yeah. Prescription glasses start at $95. That's a steal. So you're getting something that looks good and last without overpaying.
Josh
And they also cover everything else.
Andy
That's right. Contacts, online, eye exam, sunglasses. And it's all in one place, folks, if you want to go in person. They've got over 300 stores across the
Josh
whole US so it's simple.
Andy
That's really the whole thing. It's just better, easier way to get glasses.
Josh
Warby Parker gives you quality and better looking prescription eyewear at a fraction of the going price.
Andy
And our listeners get 15% off plus free shipping when they buy two or more pairs of prescription glasses at warbyparker.com/ninjas.
Josh

Andy
hey. And after you purchase, they're going to ask you, hey, where'd you hear about us? Please mention our name, support the show, tell them we sent you. Well done. Well done.
Justin Stewart
Yeah.
Josh
Justin respects women.
Andy

Michael
You've been initiated.
Josh
I can understand your confusion in that question.
Andy
Reading back, looking back, looking back, I could see it.
Justin Stewart
I could.
Andy
Influencer.
Josh
Oh, like the people on social media.
Andy
Got it. Yeah, that makes sense.
Josh
I get it. Well, welcome again, Justin.
Andy
Thank you.
Josh
You're welcome. How are we doing, everyone?
Justin Stewart
I'm. I'm great.
Josh
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
Watching this online and being here in person.
Josh
How does it smell? I always ask people how it smells.
Justin Stewart
I mean, it smells great. I. That is a good question. Because we've made content, too, and we had a podcast, and sometimes, you know, and you guys were saying it used to be, like, 75 in here, no AC. It would probably be pretty bad.
Josh
I would say even hotter than that, honestly. Yeah, it would get the 80s.
Andy
We just recently got an AC in here, and now it's cold.
Josh
It's.
Andy
If everyone's wondering why Andy's wearing a hoodie every single week. Now I'm cold. Blasting it.
Justin Stewart
So you're having people from the team open the door and be like, hey, guys. Boys.
Andy
Whoa. Yeah. Yeah. We become a little nose blind after a while, but we.
Michael
We've done afternoon podcasts after street tacos, too. That onions and cilantro becomes quite pungent in a room that's 80 degrees.
Justin Stewart
Yeah, that's fair.
Michael
I like it. Yeah, it's a good smell.
Andy
I'm trying to figure out how to get circulation within my own bedroom, because my dog, Pico, she's ranked, dude. She lets them rip. And it'll be like an hour or two later and it just settles in our room. I just got to figure out more circulation or ventilation or something because it's terrible.
Josh
My favorite pastime to do is my children. They're very small and very vulnerable.
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
I love the Dutch oven. Them
Andy
rip it, and now they're. Are they scared now?
Michael
Oh, yeah.
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
I did the Jane last night. She's like, help get me out of here.
Andy
That's so funny.
Josh
Yeah. On this new diet, too, with all this protein I'm eating.
Michael
Yeah, bro.
Josh
They new diet. New diet.
Andy
Yeah. Well, I mean, that's the thing, man. It's just. You gotta. That's. That's. That's the price you pay.
Michael
Yeah, dude, add some kimchi to that.
Josh
Game over.
Justin Stewart
Have you seen that guy? The guys online, doing that kind of trend, Being, like, trying to create the most ferocious, ferocious fart ever.
Michael
They're like, no, I haven't seen this.
Justin Stewart
Eating just everything that makes your gas smell the worst. It is hilarious.
Andy
But there's got to be records for, like, a level of that.
Justin Stewart
You should try it. And then.
Josh
Yeah, I will.
Justin Stewart
More Dutch oven stories next pod.
Josh
Maybe my child ends up just developing some sort of disease.
Andy
Just cross
Michael
immediately. Pull the covers off, and it's pink eye
Josh
immediately, Guys. There's a lot happening in this world.
Andy
Right now, a lot has happened in Justin's world. Yeah, he's a big time YouTuber. I'm sure a lot of people have been that are watching this pod probably know of your content, Right. And for those of you that, for those of that don't know, give them like a quick, quick bio of what your past like 13, 14 years have looked like.
Justin Stewart
Yeah, I mean. JSTU JSTU Studios laugh daily Podcast. We've been making all kinds of videos, adventures. We'd build crazy things. We'd stay overnight in crazy locations and have had a lot of fun along the way. Every week uploading for basically 14 years.
Andy
Wild.
Justin Stewart
And it's no longer going.
Andy
New chapter.
Justin Stewart
New chapter.
Andy
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
Thing. So we shut it down in December of 25.
Josh
So that's probably, that's probably a really easy decision, huh?
Justin Stewart
Very easy. Barely an inconvenience.
Josh
Man, that's wild.
Justin Stewart
Yeah.
Josh
Are you cool? Like, how did you get to that point?
Justin Stewart
Yeah, I think. Well, like you said, wasn't an easy decision and it took a lot of time and processing. Like I've been even over the last two years kind of internally struggling with like, as we all grow up and change, how do we change in our job, in the public eye? Because I've been making like this type of content, but I like over the past, you know, few years been like, internally, like I feel like I'm growing in a different way and changing in a different way and I can't keep doing the same thing. I need to change. And one thing I, when we meet fans in public, a lot of the times they're like, oh, love your videos. I used to watch them and I was like, well, why'd you. That's awesome. You used to watch them. What happened? But it's like, it's obvious. They grew up.
Andy
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
They're watching as a kid and then they go to college, they have more responsibilities and like, obviously we all change and grow over time as well. And so it's like I went from high school, dating, marriage, kids, all throughout this 14 years. And I've those moments like once you have kids for the first time, that changes you. Once you go when you, when you're married, of course the same thing. And so I'm 32 and I feel like I'm in this next chapter of my life of change for sure.
Josh
That's insane.
Justin Stewart
Really wanting to listen to that because I can feel it inside of like, I need to do something different.
Josh
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
I've had to process and figure out what that exactly looks like. Over the last few years. Because it wasn't like, I feel this way. All right, burn the ships. It was like really slow, intentional processing and talking and figuring out what it looks like. And it was. It was very hard.
Andy
Yeah. Especially when you have other people involved. Yeah, that too. It's all. They just like, it's not just you. Like, there's other people working with you and around you. Like, that's. That just adds levels to it. Yeah, yeah.
Justin Stewart
We had 12 full time employees. How many you guys have?
Michael
Just looking at it.
Justin Stewart
Yes, you guys.
Josh
I mean, Sunday Cool has like over 100 employees, but the. Our video content is just us.
Justin Stewart
And you guys were at Sunday Cool before this, right?
Andy
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We still work with Sunday Cool. Okay. Yeah. This is just that this is kind of a. In replacement of or supplement material to the content that we were producing before.
Michael
So Sunday Cool is like marketing and then content is like fun and it's taken off and it's still good for Sunday Cool. That's the cool thing about going in the direction we wanted to go with the podcast is people. Our Sunday Cool audience transferred over really well because it turns out we're going to conferences to do like T shirt sales and like that sort of marketing. And people would come up when we started the podcast and be like, I got a hundred conspiracies for you. So it was sick. It was like, you guys are into the same stuff we're into. We don't. We're not actually like twisting the audience in the direction they don't want to go. So we're able to build on that. It was fun.
Josh
That's funny though, that you say that with the 14 years, because that's very similar to how, like, how I felt because I've had The Sunday Cool YouTube for 10 years now and started off with just like doing the skit stuff and love doing it. But it's also like, I got married, had kids, and then it's just kind of like, it's. It's. You get to a point where it's like, I'm growing too and I'm different. And 10, 14 years is a long time to keep producing like the same format. And so everyone changes. And so for us, it was like we got super lucky to be able to just transition pretty easy into a podcast.
Andy
Yeah. We're doing the stuff that we love doing, though. And that's the thing. The way you love doing changes over time and what brings you life. You could do the thing that's going to be successful forever, but it's just like, are you. You know, at what cost, though, right? I mean, so.
Justin Stewart
Exactly, exactly that. And like, typically, these sort of things aren't being broadcast in front of hundreds of thousands, millions of people, which make it even harder because, like, you know, if you want to change and you don't, you're not in the public eye. It's just like, oh, let me talk to my family and friends about this. But then it's like, so much more difficult when it's like, everyone's watching you and you're having to be like, hey, I'm changing. And they're like, wait, why? Explain, Prove, you know, all the things that come with that. That I'm like, I'm navigating this for the first time and it's. It's been difficult. It's actually grown me quite a bit, and I'm actually very thankful for it.
Andy
Oh, yeah. You're going to look back on this and be like, oh, man, we grew so much in that time.
Justin Stewart
Yeah. But I think you. We all in life, we meet a crossroads. We can either go left and change or go right and stay the same. Most of the time, we probably want to go right and stay the same. Comfortable thing exactly over here in change is fear. The unknown, money, you know, job security,
Michael
the golden handcuffs, literally.
Justin Stewart
So it's like I felt like I was at a place where I cannot go down the road of stay the same because I don't want to stay the same. I want to grow. I want to be the best version of myself, and I want to go where I feel like the Lord is calling me. And it's very complex and difficult.
Andy
But, yeah, and there's probably. There's mixed feelings with, like, you ending the channel, obviously, just like you end the Sopranos on a cliffhanger. It's like, it's different. You know, people get mad at, you know, TV show and writers and stuff like that, but it's different when that parasocial relationship of I've been growing up with you for years, and then you just leave. It's like, it's just like, it's tough, right? Like, so how was. How was that whole reaction?
Justin Stewart
Oh, man. In hindsight, too, it's like people were. Some of our supporters were pretty upset. They're like, this came out of nowhere, like, we didn't have time to prepare. And it's like, I totally understand why a lot of the comments are filled with, like, frustration or confusion because it's like, man, this. This was my livelihood of, like, I grew up watching you guys. And this was a routine. Every Saturday I watched a video and it meant a lot to me. And then out of nowhere, no warning, which I'm like, again, looking back, like, that totally makes sense. But we did have, even before we dropped that video, we, we were discussing this for over six months. We're like, should we drop like one final video and just do like a big celebration, a fun video, or should we let everyone know, hey, here's where we're going. Give them time.
Andy
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
So we weigh the options. But we ended up just deciding, like, let's just do the final video.
Michael
There's never a good, a good way to do it. Like, you know, when you see like a controversial movie, no one's ever happy with the ending. They either want it wrapped up or they like the open endedness. And so it's like, yeah, it's just hard to do. There's not a right decision.
Justin Stewart
Yeah. But looking back, I'm like, man, I guess in hindsight it makes more sense because like when you know a TV show is ending, you actually enjoy that, like last season more versus, like.
Michael
I can see that. Yeah.
Josh
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
All done. Wait a minute. What?
Michael
Yeah.
Andy
So hindsight, you. Do you think you do things a little differently or are you pretty happy with what happened?
Justin Stewart
No, I mean, definitely in hindsight I do some, some things differently.
Andy
Yeah. And that's okay? That's part of it. Yeah. You're 32, dude. I'm, you know, like, that's like, you learn and you just like, and you just keep growing. And also it's like if some people aren't willing to forgive that, it's like, then maybe you need to check your own art first.
Michael
Yeah.
Andy
You know, like, that's one of the things. It's like, if you love me, then it's like, understand that maybe I didn't handle this perfectly. But it's like you obviously did this for so long because you love doing it and you love the people who watched it.
Justin Stewart
Yeah.
Josh
If you love me, let me go.
Michael
What's that?
Josh
Just come over frozen? Yeah.
Andy
Oh, cool.
Justin Stewart
That's not frozen.
Andy
Hold on, wait a second.
Josh
Um. Man, that's exciting though.
Justin Stewart
Yeah.
Andy
And you go to. You got a new book. Second book, right? Yeah, yeah. Because you sent me the first one. And the kids, we had so much fun unboxing that. But one, because there was like neato in it, which was awesome.
Justin Stewart
Oh, yeah.
Josh
What made you want to do like kids stories?
Justin Stewart
That's like, during this whole process, I was so struggling with feeding the machine of YouTube because every week it's the grind of, like, got to make something that's going to get views and we have all this responsibility, you know, and so we can't just necessarily do whatever we want because of that. And so I was like, I don't want to keep doing that. And so I sat down and was like, all right, to kind of fix this in my own internal processing, I'm going to draw on my iPad and create like a kid. Kids don't really plan anything. They're just like, oh, let me just draw and have fun here. So I wasn't like, I'm going to turn this into something. I need to have this make sense. It was like, there's zero thinking, just imagination.
Michael
That's cool.
Justin Stewart
And because of that, I'm sitting there with my kids and my daughter is. Is drawing with me. And it was so fun. It felt so freeing to kind of just like, not have those, like, borders around.
Andy
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
And just purely imagination. And so she was coming up with some of the character names with me. Like one of the guys, his name is Goosebob. And that was because of her. That sounds like, what's his name? Goosebob. I'm like, that is so random. And that's perfect. And so I again, after I finished drawing, instead of my computer, I'm like, I just want to write. And so I wrote out a story. And then after a long time, I was like, man, I actually have something here that I think is really cool that I'd love to share with the world because I got so much joy and energy out of creating in this way, because I've been creating 2500 videos over 14 years. But I'm like, this storytelling, and I just love storytelling was so energizing for me that I'm like, I could keep doing this. And my kids are involved because they're sitting there with me. I'm writing it.
Josh
Oh, cool.
Justin Stewart
For them and for other people. And so I'm like, man, let me pursue this. And it started to turn into something that's sick.
Andy
I love that.
Josh
Yeah, that's very cool.
Andy
We should write a book. Oh, yeah, just a. Yeah, that's right.
Justin Stewart
Made up conspiracies for kids.
Josh
Yeah. And actually an introduction to Conspiracy World for children.
Michael
That. Yeah, that needs to exist.
Andy
But it's like conspiracies about their parents.
Josh
Yeah.
Andy
It's like, are we really out of cookies, though? Because I keep seeing mom sneak into the. The pantry at ten o' clock at night. Interesting.
Josh
Interesting.
Andy
It can't be trusted.
Josh
Yeah, that's crazy.
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
Crazy stuff. Thanks for sharing that, dude.
Justin Stewart
Yeah, no problem.
Andy
Yeah, we'll have the link in the description if you guys want to order his book, volume two, out. When? Today, right? When?
Justin Stewart
April 7th.
Andy
April 7th. Okay. Yeah. Cool. Right around the corner.
Josh
Yeah. Well, this. Yeah, this comes out next week.
Andy
Yes. So just for you is.
Josh
We're out right now. This is next week.
Andy
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
Book one is out right now, but book two is. And I have like four more coming as well.
Andy
Yeah, that's awesome. Very cool.
Justin Stewart
Pursuing a feature length animation as well with it.
Michael
Nice.
Justin Stewart
Yeah.
Josh
Do you want any voice actors?
Andy
Oh, please.
Justin Stewart
You guys want to be in it?
Josh
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
You want to be in the audiobook too?
Andy
Yes, happily.
Josh
Dude.
Justin Stewart
As a voice actor, the audiobook was like one of my favorite parts of this because, like, I did a few of the voices and. And it has music and it's. It's so fun, dude.
Andy
But we want to.
Justin Stewart
Oh, dude, I'll take you up on that, man. I'll. I'll hit you guys up.
Andy
We want to do voice acting so bad.
Josh
I've always wanted. Literally since a child, I've wanted to do it. Dude, that'd be sick.
Andy
I want to be Goosebump.
Josh
No, I call Goosebumps on Goosebump. Oh, go ahead.
Michael
I feel like this is where you transition to everything that gets this video demonetized.
Josh
Yeah, we can do that.
Andy
YouTube, stop paying attention. We're at the 30 minute mark to Israel. Pro cons.
Justin Stewart
Wait, how do you guys do that? How do you talk about all these things and not get constantly demonetized?
Josh
Oh, we do.
Andy
I mean, I mean, we.
Michael
We dance the line, but literally we have people who watch our show who are like, I hit the bell and I can't even find your recent uploads. What do you mean? They exist? Like, I had a friend who took a screenshot. He was like, I'm on your channel. I don't see your last three videos. You said you kept uploading. And he sent me the screenshot. They're just not there.
Josh
So it's like I talked to YouTube as well, and they're like, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm like, well, something's happening. Yeah, something's happening.
Justin Stewart
Well, you guys are still getting good views, so clearly.
Josh
Yeah, it's. It's going up and down. It's going up now a little bit. Because you guys are helping us by commenting and liking the video, right?
Andy
Yes. And telling your grandmother about the podcast.
Michael
And this is all a joke. We love you YouTube?
Josh
Oh, of course we do. We love Israel. We wouldn't be here without YouTube. But you guys hear what the government just purchased?
Andy
No, I did not.
Justin Stewart
Is it a vehicle?
Josh
It is not. Well, it's a vehicle. No, it's not. It could be. No, it's not.
Justin Stewart
Something to do with AI.
Michael
Challenge accepted. What is it?
Josh
A domain name to carry what into fruition. The government, meaning the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which is responsible for purchasing domain names@.gov. Just purchase on March 17th. Aliens.gov.
Michael
yup.
Josh
And alien.gov.
Andy
whoa. What?
Justin Stewart
How do people figure this out?
Josh
I don't know. I just. I write off the coattails of people that do the real research.
Justin Stewart
So what does that. What does that mean to you guys?
Josh
Huh?
Justin Stewart
What does that mean to you?
Michael
I think it's a side.
Josh
It's something.
Andy
They've been teasing this for years, man.
Michael
Well, Trump, why now?
Josh
Was it a month ago? Two months ago? Trump's like, we're going to disclose a lot of the ufo alien stuff. And then they purchased these websites. So I don't know. Ultimately, I think it's going to be a massive psyop, though.
Michael
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
You think they're actually going to disclose stuff? They always say, hey, we're going to show you this. And then, oh, we forgot.
Josh
No, I don't think they're going to disclose anything.
Michael
I mean, I think it's all in response into what he was refusing to disclose. So depending on how escalated that conversation gets. Depends what fake stories do get disclosed. Yeah, that's what I think. Yeah.
Josh
I think they. They can pick and choose. Like, so the whole disclosure thing, I think when. When administration's like, under fire, you know, they're like, okay, well, look at aliens. Look over here. And people are like, oh, wow.
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
But it's never enough. It's always just little bits. And a lot of it, I really think, is just fake stuff. No.
Andy
Yeah. Nothing can be trusted now unless humans see it for their own self in front of their face. And even then we've done that with the New Jersey drones. Like, you can't really even trust that.
Josh
I know.
Michael
Or even here. Now. That's the craziest thing from Jesse Michaels, that podcast we did. You could hear something and it could be fake.
Andy
Jesse Carey.
Josh
Jesse.
Michael
Sorry.
Andy
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
And with AI, it's like, I feel like it makes it impossible now.
Andy
Yeah. 100. That's what I'm saying. Like, that's really. There's no way. You can't trust me. Anything.
Josh
Speaking of the AI, Stuff. This is not going to be great for our YouTube. Netanyahu. Oh, with.
Justin Stewart
Yes, I've seen that.
Josh
So it's. It is confirmed. He's alive. He just did a press conference yesterday or the 17th, whatever the day is. I don't know, 19th. But it was super weird. The whole thing was weird. People were like, he's dead. There's a bomb. He's gone. And then these videos started popping up. And, like, look at. He's talking and there's six fingers. It's clearly a. I. Then he was in the coffee shop. I don't know if you saw that. And, like, people were, like, picking apart
Andy
that his teeth were weird. The date was off on the back screen. Everyone. I saw it. I'm like, this doesn't seem like a normal video at all.
Josh
And then he had the. The thing where he's, like, walking with Huckabee, and he's like, they really think I'm alive. I'm here with all five fingers. And he's like, here's my punch card. I'm getting the names off. And you're like, this is so weird.
Andy
Yeah, they're playing into it almost.
Josh
And this one guy pointed out I saw on TikTok, he's like, you think they don't know this? He's like, whoever is doing this whole thing, they know that you're going to watch these videos and try to pick them apart. So, like, they're trying to make you believe something. They're way ahead of you, basically. You're not this detective that's finding out, oh, it's AI. It's like, no, they know that you're thinking this.
Andy
Yeah. These are the same people that are, like, finding, like. Like, hints inside of Stranger Things trailers and, like, the final episode and, like, putting it all together. And, like, we're way off.
Josh
It's just. It's weird, though. It's like, yeah.
Andy
Why? What's happening? Like, what's the purpose behind Justin?
Josh
What's happening?
Andy
Antichrist, Probably.
Josh
Probably.
Justin Stewart
Wait, what do you guys think about the. Because I haven't heard your perspective on the aliens. Like, let's say they drop this website and they actually disclose things. What is it, in your opinion? What's going on?
Andy
That's the thing. It's like. I mean, what. Anything they drop, I'm not going to believe is the truth because there's always some. Something. Some agenda behind it.
Josh
I believe, personally, and my opinion has changed multiple times. Right now, I'm kind of under the impression that over 90% of what people see, as far as UFOs and stuff is government stuff, I think there's a very small majority that is, I would say, not extraterrestrial but like supernatural. And that's just solely based off of like what's in scripture and like these heavenly beings and angels and they will look wild. And I don't doubt people's abduction stories, but if you compare these abduction stories and they talk a lot about it on blurry, they interview a lot of people, these abduction stories are very similar to the satanic ritual abuse ceremonies that people go through. And so right now I believe that these real aliens that people were talking about, these abductions interactions are in some way a demonic entity, whether or not they're demons or part of something more. Because I think the spiritual realm is so big that we can't even comprehend it. I don't think it's just like angels and demons. I think it's like legions of different types of heavenly beings and legions of different types of fallen creatures, you know, and I have nothing to prove that, but it just seems, I mean God is way bigger than we can imagine. So why wouldn't the supernatural realm be the exact same?
Andy
Yeah, if the higher up officials know this, which some, you know, would deep state or whatever, they know this, they're never going to admit that to the public. They're never going to show proof of that to the public because that's something beyond out of their control. And if that's real to the public, then everyone, they're not going to listen to anything they say because there's such a bigger picture here. They want control, they want to control the narrative. And so that's the thing. Anything that's released is just going to be baloney. Like it's just going to be straight up, you know, Hollywood stuff.
Josh
It does seem like it's being set up though for a great deception of some sort of.
Justin Stewart
Yeah, I agree.
Andy
Which would be fun, honestly. It would be fun to be able to be on the ground and see something and say, oh, this is fake. Yeah, this is all just a big scam.
Josh
I think it would really mess with your head though. I mean, because a lot of people's.
Justin Stewart
Yeah.
Josh
Propaganda in and of itself. I think we think we're above that and that we can't be manipulated. But we are so easily manipulated.
Michael
See, but they, they have to, if they do this like bluebeam or whatever, if they actually make stuff appear to look a certain way, they have to do it in a way that makes those things either seem so Ambiguous that you don't know what to do with it. Or so benevolent that no one, no redneck, intends harm to it. Because I promise you, if some glowing red thing going is over my backyard looking down at me, I might dump a couple shells.
Josh
Yeah.
Michael
So it's like.
Josh
I mean, even talking to Jesse Kerry, like with the. This guy we had on Jesse Carey, he was. He's the content director, something of producer of Ironclad, which is. They do a lot of. They did Sean Ryan's show Psyop, but he was talking about these weapons that he talked to someone in the Navy about General in the Navy or something where it's like you enter into basically a force field to where it feels like time is manipulated. And like they even made their own contraption to where people thought that they were hearing voices in their head. Like Jesse Carey and his team made that. It's like.
Andy
Yeah, like actual telepathy. They've test. They tested on screen showed they had
Josh
shown basically just a laser frequency that they hit the bone in your ear and it vibrates to where it sounds like there's a voice in your head.
Michael
But they can pinpoint it to you. And that's not even make you feel like you're going crazy just by. And they vibrating a voice.
Justin Stewart
You have to be still or you can.
Michael
So like you could walk through. I mean, they can expand it so like. Like light you can pinch to a point or open and it would change the pitch. But so you could be sitting here and like a voice could come and say, get out of the room, get
Josh
out of the room.
Michael
Get out of the room. And you'd like be losing it. We'd be like, what's wrong with you? And you'd think you'd gone insane.
Andy
They created it and tested it on actual police officers.
Josh
And they're not in the government, they just make videos. And so that's what I'm saying. Like this deception, it won't be like a projector screen in the air. It's like they have, I think I know technology to really, really manipulate people. And that's what's scary.
Michael
I mean, you think of like. Like when the Holy Spirit descended and everyone heard languages in their own voices. But think about like the cult you could erect if you use that tech and had like a face to the event that you staged. Now suddenly all these people. I hear it in my language. Well, yeah, there's people talking to you. That's completely possible now.
Justin Stewart
Yeah. So, yeah, I mean, I was at a resort recently and this Guy came up to me and my friend while we were talking, and he was like, yeah, I'm in the. I'm in the military and work with the government. I have this person's number. He's just giving me all this information. And he's like, yeah, there's going to be stuff that's going to be disclosed about UFOs and aliens and stuff. But he's like, it's all a big deception. And even afterwards, he's coming up, he's like, don't tell anybody about me. I was like, who are you?
Josh
Oh, so he's just a rando?
Justin Stewart
That came up pretty much. My friend was talking to him for a while, and then I think we. He told him, like, yeah, we're making a YouTube video. And. And then he came and sat down and talked to us for like, 10 minutes and was just like, yeah, I'm in. I'm in the government a little bit and working with people. And he's like, don't be deceived. Like, okay.
Andy
And that's the tough thing. What if it is like, you know, they're gearing up for a great deception, but then they, like, something actually does happen, but then the government claims this was us, you know?
Josh
Yeah.
Andy
And it's like, it could have been real. We don't know.
Josh
I'm telling you, I said, they're so smart at manipulating people.
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
Like, they were just a bunch of trained people. I don't know, sheep. Like, we're just like guinea pigs. Yeah.
Andy
I mean, like, they have a. They. I mean, they have teams upon teams that their only job is to understand the human mind and our culture, and they're gonna do whatever they can to keep control.
Josh
And I really think there's truly only one thing to keep you from being deceived, and that is true holy discernment from God. That's the only thing that could break it.
Andy
And the only way you get discernment is by being obedient to God's word. And then you will be very clear of what the Holy Spirit is telling you to do. So obey people. And 99% obedience does not equal obedience.
Justin Stewart
I got a message disobedience from some this, my friend, a long time ago that I took a screenshot of, because in. In it, he said something really, really good. He said, you will amplify what you accommodate. The message you give your time to is the message that you'll amplify through your life. Protect your heart and mind, and make sure that the people you're closest to are the ones who are closest to God. But that statement of you'll amplify what you accommodate. So if you don't have a relationship with Jesus Christ and you're just like every wave that's coming your way, you have no focus. But if you're. And you're always focused on this thing over here, it's like you're going to amplify that in your life. And you're constantly deceived and constantly tossed around.
Josh
And so it's like living in fear.
Andy
And you see that people like who you know. Everyone knows somebody who's just being immersed in drama in their life. Like that's every day is a crisis because of something. It's like that makes total sense. Like. Yeah, because you surround yourself by it and you consume yourself with it. That's just all your existence becomes at a certain point.
Michael
Dude, we are unintentional echoes of our environment.
Andy
You are what you surround yourself with.
Josh
Echo.
Andy
What was that?
Josh
Speaking of echoes.
Michael
Yeah.
Josh
You know, 2027 is going to be a terrible year.
Andy
We're a long ways off. Josh, don't be so negative.
Justin Stewart
Every side of a coin has another side too though.
Josh
This. Both sides are bad. I think on this one it's one
Andy
of those double sided coins like Harvey Dent.
Josh
Yeah, I'll tell you all about it right after. This side's not going anywhere.

Josh
It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month. It's the number one prescribed branded chronic migraine preventive treatment.
Andy
Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be signs of a life threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle
Josh
or nerve conditions including als, Lou Gehrig's
Andy
disease, Myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome and medications including Botulinum toxins as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. Why wait?

We want to give you something free.

That's what we want to do. That.
Andy
We want to do that. That's what we're here right now to do.

Josh
could be a bomb.
Justin Stewart
It could be.
Andy
Don't. No, that's. Someone's probably listening to this in the airport.
Josh
There's a lot happening if you're in the airport listening to this. It's a bomb. Don't say that. It's a bomb.
Justin Stewart
Stop.
Josh
There's a bomb. Just don't do that.
Andy
No, there's no bomb. There's no bomb.
Josh
This person has a bomb.
Andy
Whoever's listening to this in the airport, stop it. You're going to get. This is now we're definitely flagged.
Josh
Okay, I'm just joking.
Andy
You know what is the bomb? Dot com. This is just butterflies dot com. Go fill out that short form and we're going to send you something for you today.
Josh
Okay, bye.
Andy
But no matter.
Justin Stewart
What the heck.
Josh
Oh, there's my wife's glasses. You can have them.
Justin Stewart
You can have them.
Josh
Oh yeah.
Justin Stewart
Is that trendy?
Andy
Slick?
Josh
I think so.
Andy
I like it.
Josh
I think that's trendy.
Justin Stewart
Finally.
Andy
I'm glad you told me about Chuck Norris because as soon as I opened my tick tock, that was the first video.
Josh
He's everywhere.
Andy
But dude, he was like punching and fighting, kickboxing the day before he died. It's crazy. It's so sad. But I'm like, it's. I literally thought like something had been like bomb like crazy or something. Like I truly thought like, this is worse.
Josh
We have bombs every day.
Andy
Yeah, that's true.
Josh
We have wars every day.
Andy
Listen, San Francisco's gone, but Chuck Norris is dead. Everybody.
Josh
Did you hear about San Francisco?
Andy
No.
Josh
I gotta do more research. I'll just say what I know.
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
Scientists are saying San Francisco is sinking at a rapid rate.
Andy
What do you mean?
Josh
They're like, the scientists are like, listen, every city kind of sinks and stuff like that. Like New York just sinking. It's like we're all sinking. We're all sinking. But they're saying San Francisco. They're like within the next two years, you have no idea. Like the water is going to come up a lot.
Andy
Interesting.
Josh
They're saying with that.
Michael
Well, they have earthquakes, right?
Josh
Moving around.
Michael
They have a bunch of earthquakes though, right?
Josh
Yeah.
Michael
Are they close to a fault line or something?
Josh
I think all California is. California is just one big fault line. And it's not their Fault kind of is. I mean, did you see that TV
Justin Stewart
show a while back about California? The. The sinkhole. Know what it's called?
Andy
No. Yeah.
Justin Stewart
It was a gigantic sinkhole in the city. And then once you go in it, you're. You go into this whole new realm.
Josh
Realm.
Andy
Yeah. I did not know about. This is a brand for us.
Justin Stewart
I forgot the name of it, but it's a whole. Exactly. About that.
Josh
I think you're thinking of skid row. Those guys are in another world.
Justin Stewart
Yeah, well, that is true.
Josh
No, I have not heard.
Justin Stewart
Okay, I'll figure out the name.
Josh
Okay.
Andy
Interesting.
Justin Stewart
You'd like it.
Josh
Yeah. San Francisco is sinking.
Andy
I've always heard that, like the. That we're like constantly moving. Like California is like moving like an eighth of an inch each year. Like the, like towards like China and Japan. I'm like 300,000 years. We're going to be like we're next door neighbors or something. Crazy.
Josh
Yeah. So I don't know exactly what's happening in San Francisco. They just said the water's rising like crazy, but also. So it's water rising. Land is sinking. So it's going to go like.
Andy
Maybe it's too heavy probably.
Michael
You should make a hypothetical prediction.
Josh
2027. I think a lot's going to happen in 2027. If you want me to get into it, I'll get into it.
Andy
Get into it. You already teased it.
Justin Stewart
Yeah. Is that what you were going to share before we took a break?
Josh
Before we went pee pee?
Andy
Yeah, pee pee.
Justin Stewart
Oh, yeah, yeah. Break this down. What's going on?
Josh
Pee pee. Well, basically I was going to make a joke about peeing, but it wasn't lining up.
Justin Stewart
No pun.
Josh
No. I kind of think. I'm not that quick. Andy's the quick one. I'll move on.
Andy
If you don't move on, you're gonna. You're in trouble. You're in trouble.
Michael
Nice.
Josh
That was all right.
Andy
Okay.
Josh
Have we heard about El Nino?
Andy
El Nino.
Michael
Another one.
Josh
People are always saying El Nino, El Nino.
Andy
I remember the TikTok trend.
Justin Stewart
People are always saying.
Josh
They are. My dad even said it the other day. I'm like, what is that?
Michael
What is an El Nino?
Josh
He's like, yeah, there's a lot of rain.
Michael
El Nino.
Josh
I don't know what that means, dad.
Andy
Speak English.
Josh
But it's not great.
Andy
What do you mean? More bad news.
Josh
It's. It's not great. It's not looking great. So. El Nino is a climate cycle where surface waters in the equatorial Pacific become warmer than normal, which release stored ocean heat into the atmosphere. So it's basically like a big ocean hot fart.
Andy
Got it.
Michael
Pacific surf season.
Andy
It's. It's storing heat.
Josh
Yeah. And it releases the heat from deep. There's like, one video I saw, it said, like, hundreds of years worth of hotness.
Andy
Yeah.
Michael
Isn't it called up dwelling?
Josh
Your guess is as good as mine,
Michael
maybe a little better.
Justin Stewart
What are the repercussions of that?
Josh
Well, they're saying that there is a very high likely that this year is going to produce a super El Nino. And those happen not so often a grande El Nino, but they're saying the implications of it, like, it basically makes the whole Earth crazy hot. And they're saying it's going to happen in 2026, but we won't feel the repercussions of it till 2027. Saying that 2027 could be one of the hottest years in Earth's history.
Andy
2027 is gonna be on fire.
Josh
2027 could be the hottest year in Earth's history.
Andy
What are we gonna do about that?
Josh
I don't know.
Andy
It's already hot.
Josh
It's pretty hot.
Andy
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
Go to a cold place and then it'll be normal.
Andy
True, true.
Josh
I think Justin's onto something.
Andy
We got big brains over there. Everyone moved to Alaska, but.
Josh
Yeah. So 2027, we got that. Didn't we? Talk about in the prophecy of the Popes, wasn't 2027 the year?
Andy
2027 has always been the year.
Josh
That's what I'm saying.
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
There's always something in 2027 there.
Andy
Yeah. There's like. We can't. I can't remember all of it, but there's like, a ton and ton of, like, predictions, ancient predictions that go to the year 2027. And I've been, you know, for past two years, we've been on this train of, like, it's gonna happen.
Josh
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
So, like, what. What month? Just the entirety of 2027.
Josh
I don't know.
Andy
January always starts.
Josh
You're asking me questions. I don't know, Justin.
Justin Stewart
Somebody was saying that the whole calendar year is, like, messed up. That. Yeah, it's not. January is not the start of the year. It's actually. It's either March or April.
Josh
There's a lot of, like, the dawn
Andy
of time kind of like, people think Monday is the beginning of the week when it's actually Sunday. So it's like. That's probably. It probably is. Like, we're just beginning. Happy New Year, by the way.
Josh
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
Oh, yeah. Happy New Year.
Andy
Happy New Year.
Michael
Congrats.
Andy
So I'm not late on my New Year's resolutions. Yeah, I still have time to lose weight.
Josh
There you go.
Andy
Yes.
Josh
2027. Got to hit start. Whatever. 2027.
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
I saw this man speaking. He's this Jewish rabbi.
Andy
Mm.
Michael
Gotta believe him.
Josh
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
What did you just say?
Josh
Jewish rabbi? I don't know who this man was. I just saw that he was a rabbi. And he's speaking of what he said they believe in. Meaning the. I believe it's the Hasidic or the Chabad Jewish sect. Don't quote me on this. I don't know for sure. But he said Trump has been chosen as the non Jewish Messiah. He is basically, in a way, the reincarnation of Cyrus the Great. King cyrus of Babylon, 2400 years ago, basically took in the Jews and then he helped rebuild the temple. Cyrus the Great. And so they have these coins. I think we've shown it on the podcast before. They have these coins. How do you say the word commemorate? Yeah, that word. With Trump and Cyrus on one side of the coin and then the Third Temple on the other side of the coin. And he said the non Jewish Messiah, this new Cyrus the Great has to be. Has to come before the Messiah comes. And he's saying, according to their prophecy, that the absolute deadline for the redemption with this new Messiah coming back or coming their Messiah, which I would think that's the Antichrist to us. Messiah coming is the Jewish year 5787, which is October 2, 2027.
Justin Stewart
Ooh.
Andy
I'm telling you, it's piling up, man.
Justin Stewart
Man. So but since they don't believe the Messiah is.
Josh
They believe Jesus is not the Messiah. They believe the Messiah is still yet to come.
Justin Stewart
So then all of that is clearly incorrect, right?
Josh
It could be. I would say, yes, it's incorrect for us. But it's like, is their Messiah are Antichrist? You know, I'm saying.
Justin Stewart
Yeah.
Andy
A twofer.
Josh
I don't know. Or is there no Messiah coming? And they'll just be like, whose hair is that?
Michael
Lucy does look like that's Irish degree.
Andy
Honestly. Yeah, Looks like.
Michael
Looks like Baron with a slick back mullet.
Josh
Yeah.
Michael
And a beard.
Josh
It's. It's interesting and it's weird. And we could probably talk more about on Patreon because YouTube doesn't like when we talk about this stuff too much. I just found the weird correlation with 2027 popping up over and over and over and over again.
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
And it could just be like a 2012 situation. All over again. Was it 2012?
Andy
Yeah, that was like more the Mayan calendar thing. Yeah, that was it. That was, that was it. But I don't know, there's just like that we haven't had a year. I don't think that like has just felt so doomy with all these ancient correlations. Yeah, so that's the, that's the thing for me.
Justin Stewart
Do you think back in the day people were doing, like, had these sort of predictions?
Josh
Sure, I'm sure.
Andy
Right.
Justin Stewart
You think it was less or more or like.
Andy
I think it was just different. I mean, like, I always. We always make the joke of like, imagine like the Mayans back in the day, or ancient native tribes seeing a solar eclipse for the first time. They probably thought the world was ending. Right. Like for them who didn't know, you know, that that had to been absolutely crazy. So it's things like that, you know.
Michael
But the Magi traveled for years following a star, so they were following predictions.
Andy
But for me, it's one of those things we can't keep progressing. Like there's gonna be somebody that's too trigger happy, that starts a nuclear war. Like we can't keep. Or like, I mean, just a great
Josh
reset, like a AI takeover, a whatever. Like, and it has to be something.
Andy
And it is like one of those sci fi movies from the 80s where it's very dystopian. All these rich people and everyone else, like everyone is living on the streets and it's just this terrible, terrible, apocalyptic type of world. I just don't see that we keep going the way we're going now, like this. It's too crazy. Yeah, like, and maybe that's what everyone says, but it's just like, at what point? I mean, you can't keep creating AI verse. Yeah.
Justin Stewart
Did you see that new movie with Chris Pratt with the AI Courtroom?
Andy
I didn't see it. I heard I got terrible reviews. But the concept of it is not far off because we've, I mean, we've had that where people, you know, you're, you're seeing that and like people are literally trying to use AI avatars in court. And so it's like, it would be, it would make sense on paper. Like, you know, something that's unbiased, but it's like, how can you create that? Because the person that created it is not, you know, unbiased. So it's weird, man. It's just strange. It's just a weird, weird world. And 2027 feels very doomy for some reason.
Josh
Yeah, I mean, it feels doomy right now.
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
So it's like. It seems like, well, how is it going to get better? Yeah.
Justin Stewart
AI Versus sasquatch. Who's going on top?
Josh
Dude, Sasquatch. He's got it.
Justin Stewart
Yeah.
Andy
He's interdimensional.
Josh
AI knows nothing about sasquatch. Literally knows nothing about bigfoot.
Justin Stewart
I went on a sasquatch bigfoot hunt. You know that?
Josh
I would love to hear about this.
Andy
When did this happen?
Justin Stewart
Like, two, three years ago.
Andy
We're at.
Justin Stewart
In Colorado. There is a guy there who owns a bigfoot store, like, in kind of in the middle of the mountains. And we hit him up, and we're like, hey, we. Because he offers tours. Like, we'd like to come experience this. And so we went by horseback into the mountains in this camp and set up our tents. And he was telling us all about everything. He showed us his. His shop. He has a museum in his shop of all these artifacts and stuff. And then at night, we went out hunting. And, man, like.
Josh
Like, sight. Like, look. Hunting or like, you got going guns and stuff.
Justin Stewart
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Not. Not guns. Just walking around and him showing us, like, yep. You see this right here? And then it was just crazy. And I was. I never experienced anything like that. Nothing happened.
Andy
But I.
Justin Stewart
Because I was, like, yelling. I'm like, if sasquatch is here, like, come get me. Because, like, I'm a tackle. If I see anything, I was like, I'm gonna sprint after it.
Andy
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
And the guy's like, hey, take it easy.
Andy
He's got his cousin dressed up in a bigfoot costume. Maybe we should give him some space. I'm. Why'd you bring a knife?
Michael
I don't you have a gun?
Andy
Yeah. Let's go over here.
Justin Stewart
I don't.
Andy
Eddie, run.
Josh
Was it. Was it a little spooky, though?
Justin Stewart
I guess it was a little spooky. We kept hearing stuff. But, I mean, do you like scary stuff? No, I don't like scary stuff. But it was just fascinating because, like, I never heard anybody who was into that, Let alone their whole livelihood.
Josh
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
And job is sasquatch stuff.
Josh
And he's claimed to have seen it.
Justin Stewart
Yes, he will. He will expand upon any story, Multiple stories. And, like, I'm like, you almost kind
Josh
of have to believe those guys a little bit. If their whole life. It's like, if that happened to you, you'd be like, okay, well, now my whole life is trying to bring attention to the fact that I saw this bigfoot.
Andy
Yeah. Well, my wife, you know, took the kids and left Me at, like, the age of 23, and I had nothing else better to do. I might just grab on to Bigfoot.
Justin Stewart
He would show us, like, clips on cameras and sounds of. Of things as well. And I mean, definitely interesting and strange
Andy
things to convince you at all. Your opinion change at all.
Justin Stewart
No. Yeah, but it was. It was. It was. I was just, like, taking it all in. I'm like, this is fascinating. Like, sure.
Josh
Do you believe there is a Bigfoot type of creature in the world?
Justin Stewart
No, I don't. I don't know why there would be. Yeah, I feel like I don't know. I just can't explain why, but I'm just like, why. Why would it not constantly show up? And how is it this super intelligence or whatever people think it is? And why it has to be. If it is real, it has to be some sort of demonic entity.
Josh
Every. I just want to mention, every time someone says that they don't believe in Bigfoot, Nate Henry from Blurry Creatures loses a Horcrux.
Andy
He's on the verge right now. Guys believe. No, it's just like Santa's sleigh. It doesn't work without the belief made. Henry's legs don't work in the morning.
Josh
What's happening?
Andy
People are losing belief. The world has to believe.
Justin Stewart
That's the only experience. That is the only experience I've had. So, I mean, I feel like my opinion isn't really solidified.
Andy
Do you believe in aliens? No.
Josh
No, not in any.
Andy
You're asking for a dude.
Justin Stewart
No, I don't.
Josh
Nothing.
Justin Stewart
I will literally, like I said, on the Sasquatch hunt, I'm like, if he's here, come get me. Like, I'll take you on right now. If there's an alien out there, I'd like to see him try.
Josh
So I guess we. I basically just talk too much during the alien thing. What do you think about the whole UFO stuff then?
Justin Stewart
Yeah, like. Well, I think what you kind of mentioned it, like, the government. I feel like the government is involved in some sort of deception. Of course, like, not thing. Yeah, I think the government is definitely involved. But then if there are. If there is something. The only thing I could pinpoint it on is, like, it's just demonic. Yeah, it's some sort of. Because I. I listened to a podcast recently of this. This exorcist, which I never seen anything like that, never heard stories, and I was just fascinated by and hear him talking about, like, spiritual stuff. I'm like, clearly he's seen some things, and the way he's describing what he has seen. I'm like, well, I guess somebody could say that's an alien or something, but it's just a demon manifesting in some sort of way or whatever's going on. Like we were saying earlier about the spiritual realm. Who knows what's going on? I had a friend, I know he was super into New Age, and he was talking about his experience, how he would astral project and he would, you know, astral project and he'd see his body and he would be able to see his whole neighborhood. And he's like, I remember going up there and there are all these spiritual beings who were very intrigued by me, like, how am I up here? And they'd come and gravitate towards him, and he saw around the neighborhood different portals, and they did not want him to go over there. And so his experience was he had a real experience of this and didn't know how to describe it in the spiritual realm. Like, clearly, stuff is going on in the spiritual realm that we don't understand what it looks like, but it is probably some of the things that people describe exactly that. But it's just demonic entities causing disruption.
Andy
There's a reason why the CIA did a study on acid and used it on civilians, unknowingly used them on civilians. There's something to it, that realm that the mind can access whenever it's open. It's so scary. It really is just terrifying.
Michael
The thing for me is, like, when people take hallucinogenics or things that make you trip, and they always. Not always, but, like, so commonly without, like, cross cultures, you know, different friend groups, whatever, but they arrive in the
Josh
same trippy place or the same type of entities, same things.
Michael
Like, I've talked to people, been like, yeah, this is what I heard. They're like, yeah, I've done it. I've seen it.
Andy
And I'm like, I met this strange creature called Goosebob. This is my sleep paralysis demon, you know. Oh, yes. Terrifying.
Justin Stewart
I think, like, the things we experience, too. Like, for example, when I was watching that podcast, it was at night and I was in my room, and it was all about, like, demons and exorcism and stuff. And I go outside of my room, and in my hallway, we have, like, a big rug, and the rug was completely, like, folded over in a weird way, because I just watched that podcast. I was, like, tripping out. I'm like, I know my kids wouldn't do this. I don't know why my wife would have done this. And I was just like, is something going on here? I could have just left it at that and been like, something's going on here. And I don't know how to explain it. But then I went back in my room. I'm like, did you do something to the rug for some and not put it back? She's like, oh, yeah, there's water that was coming in through the door and it spilled on the rug. But I feel like maybe that's similar to a lot of people's experience without context. Yeah, they're kind of like, this is weird. And I can't explain it because I didn't do it. But clear is just my wife moving the rug.
Andy
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And our minds get ahead of us quite a bit. I was just reading Psalm 91 over the girls room the other night. Just, you know, just check them up in the night and just had the inkling and the idea to read it. So I'll never say no to that because it's like, why? You know, if my heart ever wants to read scripture, it's like, that's probably God. You know, like our bodies usually don't just like, want to be like, you know what, at 10 o' clock at night, I'm going to read scripture in my girls bedrooms. And I was up there and I was literally like on her bunk bed just reading it out loud, like whispering it. And then no joke, just feel something or felt like I saw. And I literally got scared to even look over there, but I forced myself to look over there and I just continued to keep reading it. And it's stuff like that. It's like, you know, like you don't know how much your mind tricks you or if there's actual stuff out there. And that's the things. The problem with all of this deception. It's like we're just not going to know what's real and what's not. And so we just have to. Obviously we just had to cling to Jesus, but golly, man, it's just. You just never know.
Michael
The Bigfoot stuff is fun to me, but when it goes demons, like, that's where I'm like, because. Because there's a reality there. Like, I will never hunt again if my life becomes like trying to walk into the woods after doing a podcast where like even like you guys tell stories of seeing things or when the. Dude. Whenever I flashback to the Halloween episode and your story, like, I have to fight to get that story out of my head. But I thought about it often.
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
Do you know what happened the Other night, Lily, they went out with her friends, my wife, to dinner, and she was coming home. She called me. She's like, can you please meet me by the car? I'm like, what's up? She's like, I am so convinced. I just saw a ghost in the field right next to her house.
Andy
Oh, my goodness.
Josh
I'm like, okay. I'm like. And I came out there. She's like, it. I looked like a ghost was in that field.
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
Like, okay, whatever. And she's like, can you please take the trash to the curb? I'm like, yeah. It was the scary thing I've ever done.
Andy
Yeah. It was not a problem. I could do it.
Josh
I ran so fast.
Michael
I was like, don't look at the field. Don't look at the field.
Josh
So scary. I don't deal good with scary stuff.
Justin Stewart
Yeah.
Josh
Hate scary stuff.
Andy
Yeah, It's. Yeah. I mean, I would just, like if I had that feeling. I mean, there's obviously stuff that I don't like. If I get convicted to not. I just won't fight against that.
Josh
Yeah.
Andy
But everyone's different, so it's just bad to fight against that. Yeah. Very strange, spooky stuff. Feels like a Halloween episode almost.
Josh
A little bit.
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
You know, it's also spooky what's going on with the airports.
Andy
Yeah. Or I found Orlando. I thought that was you guys.
Josh
Drive or fly?
Justin Stewart
Fly.
Josh
You flew. Was it. Was there any craziness that happened with your flight down here?
Justin Stewart
Yeah, well, they had to. We were about to take off, and they're like, the back bathroom pipe is not working, so we have to fix it. So we had to stop for, like, an hour. But getting through the airport was surprisingly good.
Josh
That's great, because that's not a lot of people's cases around the country. There's, like, people that are waiting, like, four hours. And of course, it's the government shutdown with the not agreeing on the Homeland Security budget or whatever. But I'm like, this is so silly that it's like. Like, just pay the TSA workers. Like, that's, like, one of the most. Because they're. They're classified as essential workers tsa. But it's like, well, we're not. We can't pay you. We have to wait to pay you until this gets passed. And it's like. That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. It's crazy, but it's just. It's weird how. It's like. It's just all weird stuff happening right now. But, like, the Denver Airport. I don't know if you saw that. All the electricity went out.
Andy
No. What?
Justin Stewart
Oh, yeah. No, I didn't hear that.
Josh
Yeah, all the electricity went out. And there's a video of just thousands of people in there and just like a dark airport.
Andy
That airport.
Justin Stewart
That's the worst airport.
Josh
I know, I know.
Andy
It's. That would be such a scary time for that place to like. That would be the worst time in the worst place to be in.
Justin Stewart
The gargoyle lights are turning red.
Andy
That shouldn't be working.
Josh
The Blucifer horse is the only thing that has power and is in the airport.
Justin Stewart
All of a sudden.
Michael
Oh, dude. It's just dark and you hear horse hooves. So scary.
Andy
The lights come on. It's just some guy with coconuts. You're like, what are you doing, man? Stop.
Josh
Yeah, dude. And then there's the. The bomb threat on that flight to Nashville. Did you see that?
Justin Stewart
No, did not see that one.
Josh
It was. I think they were going. Was it from Atlanta to Nashville or.
Andy
No, it was Nashville, but they. There. They. They were going south, but they had to do emergency landing in Atlanta because
Josh
there's a bomb threat on the plane. And they had sent a whole SWAT team in there and, like, arrested a dude. And then after that, it's like, canceled flight. Canceled flight. Cancel. Our flight was canceled from California.
Andy
Yeah, but they were screaming at this dude on the plane. Everyone on the plane, hands up, heads down, hands up, head like, scream, dude, how terrifying is that on a plane? Like, you're just like. You got your headphones in, you're just watching a show. And then suddenly.
Justin Stewart
So he was yelling at.
Michael
No, no.
Andy
The SWAT team came on, told everyone, hands up, head down. Because they were trying to find the guy who was on there that apparently.
Josh
But nothing came out about him.
Justin Stewart
Really?
Josh
Yeah, as far as I could see.
Andy
Yeah. I mean, they're not going to release anything probably.
Michael
Dude. Imagine being passed out of sleep and then waking up to the whole plane.
Justin Stewart
Heads up, seven.
Josh
Yeah. So I don't know. There's. There's just. It's weird what's happening with the airports and stuff.
Andy
A lot of fear going on, dude.
Josh
Yeah.
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
And with the media we talked about on the last podcast, I think with, like, the media talking about this imminent threat of Iran targeting somewhere in California with a drone. And it's like, it. They're only saying California drone attack in California from Iran. It's like, that seems really specific. If it was like, I don't think Iran would just be like, we're gonna Attack California with a drone? I don't think that that's what they would do.
Andy
I don't think so either. Also, it's like, yeah, we're gonna sink from San Francisco slowly over the next couple years.
Justin Stewart
We're gonna hit the fault lines perfectly.
Andy
There's moving more and more people there just so it can be heavier.
Josh
Okay, but did you see the. The chief of counterterrorism, how he just resigned? Did you see that? Yes. Yeah.
Michael
If you were gonna go here.
Josh
Yeah. I mean, because I think 1. Everyone watching. I am completely ignorant to everything, and I am not educated in the realm of politics or geopolitics or anything.
Andy
Come on.
Josh
I'm just saying what I know, which is not a lot.
Andy
Say what you heard.
Josh
So this guy, Joe Kent, urge everyone to go watch his interview with Tucker Carlson because it gave a ton of context.
Andy
Joe Kent's a legitimate guy who was a leader in our government.
Josh
Chief of counterterrorism.
Andy
Yeah. So this dude was legit. And then he quit. Right.
Josh
He resigned. Did this letter basically saying he served. He did 11 tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. Like, hardcore stuff. Like, he is a true patriot, veteran, says he loves God, all this stuff. But he was saying, like, this is a really bad idea for the US to get involved in this war. He said it's Iran was no threat to us. Like, immediate threat. He said there was no immediate threat to justify it. And he basically was like, we're being basically kind of like, pushed into this by that other country, which I can't remember the name. Yeah. But it was just. It was. The interview was really eye opening because he was coming from a very. Like, he's not doing anything. Like, he's not like, joining, like, a different podcast or news station or like, writing a book. He's just like, I know. I don't. I have nothing to do now.
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
He's like. But I. He said that a lot of his buddies are like, you would do more good if you remain chief of counterterrorism. Like, you do more good in the government. And he's like, I really felt like God was calling me to resign to make this statement. Said so whatever happens with that happens. But this is what I think, because
Andy
he couldn't have speak spoken that freely if he was in that position.
Josh
Right.
Andy
Like, there would have been a whole lot more trouble.
Michael
Just runs for president next year. Yeah. Or next term.
Josh
But it's like classic US Government making people look bad. He's under an investigation right now by the FBI for supposedly declass, or spilling secrets about US Government and stuff like that. And so is Tucker Carlson, what. Being investigated by the FBI.
Andy
Interesting.
Josh
And so it's just like, oh, man, this is so. Again, we can talk more about this on Patreon, because it's kind of.
Justin Stewart
How do you know what things you can say or not say on your YouTube?
Josh
I don't know. We're figuring out.
Michael
We find out after the fact.
Josh
I'm mainly just speaking about this podcast that Tucker had with Joe Kent, and he, like, even went into Charlie Kirk
Michael
stuff where that's the crazy.
Justin Stewart
Ah, I heard some of that.
Josh
Yeah.
Andy
What?
Michael
So he said, this is new to you?
Andy
No, I haven't. I started the podcast last night, but I was. Tucker did such a long intro.
Michael
Yeah.
Andy
I didn't even get through it because I was.
Josh
Buckle up. Jokin did a great job of not divulging things, but you could kind of read between the lines of what he was saying.
Andy
Okay.
Josh
He was saying his department of the Counterterrorism was blocked from investigating any further into the Charlie Kirk assassination by the FBI and the doj.
Andy
Why?
Michael
He said we didn't have anything definitive. He said, but there were leads that we dug up that needed to be run down.
Andy
Yeah, you need to find the end.
Michael
When we began running them down, our access was cut.
Josh
Sus.
Andy
Super Sauce.
Michael
Did you get to the part?
Josh
Well, I'm just saying, the. The. This is what he said. Joe Kent.
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
He said his. He said he met Charlie Kirk a couple times. Said, very nice guy. He said, the last interaction I had with Charlie Kirk, Charlie Kirk was, like, walking into the Oval Office, and they're on, like, a stairway or something, and they shook hands. And then Charlie Kirk said to Joe Kent, he said, do everything you can to prevent us from going to war with Iran.
Justin Stewart
So why would Charlie Kirk say that?
Michael
Because he was in his position.
Josh
He was an advisor to President Trump and counterterrorism. Yeah. Or Charlie Kirk. Yeah. And Charlie Kirk was pretty open about it would be terrible for the US to go to war with Iran. And it was just. That was a weird thing that he said. Last time seeing him live was in. I think he said June. He said. He said, do everything you can to make sure we don't go to war in Iran.
Andy
And to have someone that's pro Trump be anti war Iran would be very bad.
Josh
Yeah.
Michael
Yeah.
Andy
I mean, like, so. Yeah. So that's like, kind of like, okay, interesting.
Josh
Everyone go watch that interview. It's just very interesting. And again, it's not like, just take it. Whatever.
Andy
I don't know, it's not definitive, obviously. It's just maybe him on the podcast.
Josh
That would be great.
Andy
Joe Kent.
Justin Stewart
Joe Kent.
Josh
That'd be great.
Andy
We'll reach out. Maybe I'll send him an email.
Josh
I doubt you. Come on here, dude.
Andy
I mean, golly, man.
Michael
See? But then YouTube would have to pay us more money to prove that they're not shutting us down. If we got them on, that'd be great.
Josh
Yeah. Anyways, very revealing podcast. Learned a lot of things, whether or not they're true or not. Just hear both sides of the story, honestly.
Andy
Sure.
Josh
But what do you think of the war?
Justin Stewart
I mean.
Josh
Just kidding. You don't have to answer that.
Justin Stewart
Yeah, it's pretty crazy what's going on and unfortunate at the end of the day about everything.
Josh
I mean, war just sucks.
Andy
And there's a lot of people that don't even know about it. We saw that this past weekend, the war. Like, we were talking with some of the ladies at the party this past weekend, and we're literally like, Kelsey just says, it's crazy that we're at war right now. And then the other lady, I don't. I just don't want to drop names. But then she's like, what? Like, we're at war. And it's like. I mean, there's gotta be. There's so many people out there that just, like, just don't know.
Michael
Those are the best pockets of people to find, too.
Andy
Yeah, it's like.
Michael
It's great breath.
Andy
Yeah, it really is. And it's just like, man, we're surrounded by this stuff.
Michael
I forget what conspiracy wise was dropping, but when I went out to the. The hunting camp. Hunters. Hunter's envy. I was hanging out and, like, I was like, just trying to make small talk. And I was like, yeah, do you guys hear about whatever? They're like, no, but I had to go like, 20 steps backwards. And I was like, you guys just don't care.
Andy
Yeah.
Michael
I was like, shut up.
Andy
That's perfectly fine.
Michael
Yeah. Let's just hang out in the woods.
Justin Stewart
I asked Chat GPT what its opinion was on the war going on right now.
Andy
Okay.
Justin Stewart
It said, this is not a minor conflict. It's one of the most serious geopolitical escalations in years.
Josh
It is accurate.
Justin Stewart
There is still heavy global pressure to de escalate.
Andy
So there's obviously.
Josh
And that was Joe Kent's. That's his whole message at the end. He's like. He said, I have full faith that Trump could, in fact, de escalate this war. He Said. He said it'd be a little difficult. He's like, I believe that he could do it.
Andy
Yeah. Why not?
Josh
So it's like, there's a hope message with it, like.
Andy
And that should be the goal. If that's not the goal.
Josh
Yeah.
Andy
Then what are we doing? You know? And that's like, I don't want to be a part of that.
Josh
Because this whole thing, like. Because he was clear that he went to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq because of the lie that was told with weapons of mass destruction. And he's like, I would. He said, I was so mad at those government officials that were in the Vietnam War, that went and fought Vietnam under a false pretense to urging us to go fight under a false pretense. And he's like, I'm not going to stand by and allow young men to go fight under a false pretense.
Andy
Yeah. Without him trying to at least say something about it. Yeah. Yeah.
Justin Stewart
So to take. Take it to a deeper level, who would. Who or what would you go to war with
Josh
Satan? I would fight him. I don't know. In a real answer.
Justin Stewart
No, it doesn't have to be real.
Josh
Okay. Fake.
Justin Stewart
Who are we all going to war against? Or what thing?
Josh
Hopefully aliens.
Andy
Whatever took Chuck Norris out.
Josh
Yes, there it is.
Andy
Whether it was cancer, whether it was a hitman, it had to have been the strongest thing in the world. Yeah, yeah. Literally, the structure intergalactic.
Josh
I think so.
Andy
Probably.
Josh
I think so.
Andy
Intergalactic, planetary.
Justin Stewart
Yeah. Bad answers only each go around,
Andy
man.
Michael
It started with me. I normally play off of what they answer.
Andy
I said, Chuck Norris.
Michael
Yeah.
Josh
Whatever killed Chuck Norris, you go fight.
Andy
Yeah, absolutely. Draft me right now.
Josh
A Bigfoot war would be cool. Ooh.
Justin Stewart
One Bigfoot.
Josh
But like a civil war, like, there's good Bigfoots and bad Bigfoots.
Andy
One group of Bigfoots is being discriminated against. Yeah, yeah, dude. I'd fight on that side.
Michael
I think that the legend of Atlantis is real, but I think that a previous civilization which has been destroyed, buried the tech that's there. And so I think Atlantis is going to resurface.
Josh
We have to find the Atlantis. Yeah, that's fun.
Andy
What a fun war that would be.
Justin Stewart
So the technology would just still work.
Michael
So the tech, they have reinvented their technology to resurface the barricade that was established to keep them below. So we have to take AI and our modern tech to fight the ancient tech that they used to war with that still lives under the surface.
Josh
Wow, that's a good answer, Michael.
Andy
Bay, start writing. We need this movie.
Justin Stewart
Michael Bay. That would be legendary.
Andy
We'd have the Transformers on our side.
Josh
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
Underwater explosions.
Josh
Mm.
Michael
Yes, please. There is oxygen and water.
Andy
Do you know that Michael Bay actually put John McClane, Bruce Willis's character from Die Hard, in the Pearl harbor scene? In the scene?
Josh
No way.
Andy
Yeah, it's in the background. He just has John McClane walking in the background. It's so funny.
Michael
That's crazy.
Andy
Added them digitally in there. I'm like, that's the coolest thing I haven't seen.
Michael
Speaking of Pearl harbor movies, I. I
Andy
haven't seen Pearl Harbor. It's pretty terrible. I've seen clips. It looks awful.
Josh
We're gonna move on from politics. I just want to say this one last thing.
Michael
To Pearl Harbor.
Josh
Always say what you have.
Andy
I bet you have.
Josh
Did you see what Trump said to Japan's prime minister?
Michael
Pretty crazy.
Andy
Yes.
Justin Stewart
Yeah, that was real. I feel like everything I see, people are in the comments. Is this real? Is this AI?
Josh
I know. Yeah. He's like, man, they're great at surprises. He's like, why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
It's like, oh, but also, like, what kind of question?
Michael
Why weren't we informed? He's like, well, we're keeping it close.
Andy
Keep it a surprise. You should know about surprises.
Josh
Everyone goes like, you heard? They're. They're laughing before. When he's like, japan's great surprise. Everyone's like, hanging.
Michael
He's like, what about Pearl Harbor?
Josh
And I was like, oh, this is awkward.
Andy
We're also great at surprise. Remember that sequel? Okay. All right. Trump cut his mic.
Justin Stewart
Yeah, get him on the pod, Trump. Yeah.
Andy
Oh, golly, Dude, I'm hoping there's a chance. How fun would that be? We always have the longest song ever. He's just sitting there.
Justin Stewart
Incredible.
Josh
He just.
Michael
We should all go and, like, hero dose spray tan.
Andy
Oh, I. I would. 110%. I'd be as orange as this couch, bro. It would be amazing. Gaslighting Trump would be the. The cherry on top. Yeah, that'd be great.
Michael
Since we're back on Trump, just look at this. Tell me that that's not. That's not weird.
Justin Stewart
What?
Michael
That's the. That's the guy.
Andy
Cyrus.
Josh
Cyrus the Great Baron.
Michael
Time traveler.
Josh
Dude, the time traveler stuff is wild. You've heard about that, right? We talked about it a long time ago on the podcast. I even forget the context of what we're talking about, but there's basically a book. I don't even know if I can talk about it because I don't know. I don't remember enough about it.
Andy
The Adventures of Baron. Adventures of Baron or something like that Odyssey.
Josh
And he had like, the doctor in it or something. Or his uncle was Donald the Don. The Don, Yeah. And it's all about time traveling and. Yeah. Then there's That's. That was like the prequel or the sequel to another book called the Last President. And it was just as wild stuff. Yeah. My recall is terrible.
Andy
You think we'd get better at it. You think over time we'd be like, we'll retain more.
Michael
But I think that's the name of the game with like, misinformation and stuff, though, is like, you tell enough stories that are similar to each other and you don't remember the thread that actually. The true thread that weaves everything together.
Andy
But then you see people like Sam Tripley, Jesse Michaels. Jesse Michaels.
Josh
Crazy. Yeah. I've even googled how to improve my recall. And they're like, just read more.
Andy
You're like, what?
Josh
I don't have time for that.
Andy
How many times have you googled to get your attention? It's like the search is purple. Dang it.
Josh
Losing it.
Andy
You just find out you have early onset Alzheimer's, you know? Oh, this is great.
Josh
So you don't believe in Bigfoot?
Andy
No.
Josh
Is there any type of cryptid that you're like, well, maybe I just have
Justin Stewart
never experienced anything, and I just. I'm kind of like this, you know,
Andy
you're asking for it, man. It's gonna happen one day and you're gonna come down.
Justin Stewart
Why did it. Why didn't it happen when I. Yeah. Was in the middle of the woods in nowhere and horseback.
Michael
Oh, they're intellectual beings, dude.
Andy
They know it would be too easy.
Justin Stewart
Why does he want to hide from me?
Josh
He didn't want to be chased, obviously.
Justin Stewart
Why not?
Michael
He's more. He's more mature than we are. He's like, I don't. I don't need to be famous on YouTube.
Justin Stewart
I'll put the camera down and we'll have a duel.
Michael
Try it again.
Josh
All right, guys, Sending Bigfoot.
Andy
Bring him out. An eight foot creature.
Michael
If I were gonna elevator pitch you to. Because this is the one that convinces me most that it's possible. I'll frame it that way. Is the whole. The Native American totems. Every creature on them is real, but they have a Bigfoot in the north, and so why is there a single hypothetical creature on their totem when every. Every other one. Eagle, bear, like, everything Else exists, But then they have a sasquatch type character. And then we get stories like, the skunk ape out of Florida is, like, one of the ones that people believe. And there's, like, a woman, we talked about it, where she reported, like, an orangutan type thing. Actually fired a photo off.
Andy
Never got disproven.
Michael
Never got disproven. It's a flash film photo, not edited. And it's just an ape creature that's in her yard. She was like. She was like, I think something escaped the zoo and is, like, eating the apples in my yard. She's like, can you just, like. I don't know. You're the cops. Like, handle it. That was the phone call. And they, like, look at the photo. They call the zoos, and everyone's like,
Andy
I just sent the photo to you.
Michael
I don't know what to tell you, but I guess your picture is real. Are you pulling a prank on us? No. She's like, I just want it to quit eating my apples.
Justin Stewart
It does kind of look like an orangutan.
Michael
That's what she reported. An orangutan in my Florida backyard.
Andy
But I think the thing, like, with the trees and everything, it was, like, 8ft tall.
Josh
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
So she walks out of her front door or back door and just has her.
Michael
Well, she knew something was getting into her apples. She's, like, trying to, like, figure out what it is. Pops the flash, and that's what's there.
Justin Stewart
Yeah. That's terrifying.
Josh
Another argument would be that if there's only maybe just a handful of bigfoot creatures in the wild, maybe this argument wouldn't work so well for you because you're from Colorado. But, like, how many times have you seen a grizzly bear in the woods?
Justin Stewart
Like, never.
Josh
That's what I'm saying. There's thousands and thousands of grizzly bears.
Andy
At least two.
Michael
To play devil's advocate, the game camera one is weird. The fact that they don't show up on game cameras.
Andy
Aloha.
Josh
We're trying to convert you to believe in bigfoot.
Justin Stewart
You guys all believe in bigfoot?
Andy
We already believes in Jesus. What else is there? I mean, we gotta have some apologetics somehow, you know, like this kind of. That's how we got to convince him.
Justin Stewart
Hit me.
Josh
Yeah, I mean, I don't.
Michael
If he.
Andy
Who bit the. Who built the pyramids? Justin.
Justin Stewart
The nephilim.
Josh
Nice. That's better. You're there. You're almost there.
Justin Stewart
So what?
Michael
So if you believe in nephilim and the angels fell and there are Verses referring to creature relations. What would the offspring potentially be?
Justin Stewart
Ooh, that's a good point. Never heard and I haven't heard that point.
Michael
We're closer.
Justin Stewart
Wait, so they were. They were. The Nephilim were doing stuff with animals?
Josh
Well, it talks about in the book of Enoch the. The watchers basically bastardizing God's creation by making these hybrid animal things.
Michael
That's where like a lot of people believe the old, like mythology like mermaids and all that stuff is actually they're trying to mar creation.
Justin Stewart
I mean, that's very interesting.
Josh
So you believe.
Justin Stewart
So the Nephilim. Yeah. It's so beyond my trying to understand. It's a lot that happened.
Michael
We don't know.
Justin Stewart
Yeah, the pyramids are still.
Josh
Pyramids are crazy. With the stuff that they found under it too. Or with the. The scans.
Michael
You saw that.
Justin Stewart
Oh, the scans.
Michael
Oh my gosh.
Andy
Crazy, dude.
Justin Stewart
They scan. Oh, they went in and just like, what's underneath it?
Andy
Lighter.
Josh
Yeah, this was a guy from Sweden or something.
Michael
You tell them about it. I'll pull up the photo.
Josh
He's been on Jesse Michaels podcast twice, I believe, and I think on Joe Rogan's. But he recently did a scan a couple months back and revealed these structures underneath the pyramids, all three of them, where it's these giant. Was it like six or eight pillars?
Andy
Yeah, but there's like, like coiled pillars
Josh
that just descend like a mile. Plus underneath these pyramids, hundreds and hundreds of feet.
Michael
So those are the pyramids right there. These are the coils. And so that's.
Josh
And then.
Michael
So if you're like to go further, it literally looks like some sort of conductive coil.
Justin Stewart
What are they. What is he saying? That is.
Michael
Well, a lot of people are alleging that the perfect alignment of the stones. Like you think about like how some temples, like vibrate like frequency. There's chemicals that they find in certain chambers that like it wasn't conductive to like some sort of like battery type situation where they actually. Conductors of some sort of energy. So don't know.
Andy
The weirdest look cool.
Michael
We like, we land at. We don't know, but it's weird that they scanned and like. So what you do know is something is under there that no one's talked about forever. And now they're like, well, let's figure that out. And Zahi Hawass, right? That's his name. Like all of the Egyptian authorities are like, no, don't look further. Like they just shut down. And it's like, this would be if it really was Egyptians that Built all this. This would be a celebration of technology that your people advanced beyond anyone else. So why would you not be like, this is awesome. Like, look at what we did this long ago.
Josh
But so they're shutting down the whole narrative of what they've taught.
Michael
Right.
Josh
100 plus years.
Michael
Yeah.
Josh
I love the theory, though, that the Egyptians came across the pyramids and the Sphinx.
Michael
Yeah.
Josh
That it was already there.
Andy
How scary would that be? That'd be so scary.
Michael
I love that his face is like. This is, like, new to him.
Justin Stewart
Yeah.
Michael
Yeah. Have you seen. Have you seen the Sphinx? Like, how. It doesn't make sense.
Justin Stewart
No.
Michael
Okay. They build the pyramids in perfect geometry. Like, the shapes are perfect. They align perfectly on the planet. Align with the stars. Like, they are whoever built it. We can agree. Expert at proportion and lining things up
Andy
right beyond what we could do now.
Michael
Beyond, like, literally. How is it then that the pharaoh head on the Sphinx is so flipping tiny compared to the body? Have you seen that photo?
Justin Stewart
No.
Michael
Would you like to continue? Because I can't look up the photo.
Josh
Yeah. Well, basically, they're saying that they came across this Sphinx and that it was this old, ancient civilization, technologically advanced, that built this stuff and that they actually reshaped the head of the Sphinx to make it a pharaoh. But there's, like, this water corrosion on the Sphinx that would predate it way earlier than when the Egyptians or when they claim that the Egyptians made it. So. Meaning, like, there's a great flood story involved in the whole thing.
Michael
Look how small that head is compared to the body.
Josh
Some people have small heads.
Andy
That's true. You have a big head.
Josh
I have a really big head.
Andy
I think a lot of it's the hair also.
Josh
Just big heads.
Andy
Maybe.
Josh
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
Anyways, the Nephilim man, I mean, the beginning of Enoch is wild.
Josh
It is wild.
Justin Stewart
So it makes sense that these beings have all these abilities that go beyond our understanding.
Josh
At the end of the day, I don't think it really matters, actually. I know it doesn't matter, but it's really fun.
Justin Stewart
Yeah.
Michael
No, it is. Wes. Hubs quote on. It is fire. I'm gonna say that.
Josh
Yes. Do you remember what he said?
Michael
Yeah. He said when or what. What was the interview? Who is he talking to? Sean Ryan, right?
Josh
No, this was with the diary of CEO Stephen.
Michael
Was it?
Josh
Yeah.
Michael
Okay. Anyways, he, like. What do you think about it? I think it was.
Josh
Shut up.
Michael
He's. But he says, I think I never want to scream about things that scripture whispers. And I was like, it was something along those Lines. And I was like, well said. Kind of flies the face of this podcast, but well said.
Justin Stewart
Well, we'll never.
Andy
But there's a lot of things that God hides in whispers and things that.
Michael
Hey, still voice guy. Yeah, still small voice.
Josh
Yeah. He was in the whisper with Elijah
Andy
and I'm going to shout about that all day.
Michael
I mean, all this stuff against the voice of God.
Andy
Ooh, hot.
Josh
Take Andrew.
Andy
Guess we're going to have to get him on the podcast.
Michael
We need to defend you to a sword.
Justin Stewart
Like, imagine a. A tribe in the middle of the jungle who's never heard of electricity, and you try and explain it to them. How would you explain it?
Michael
Taser.
Andy
They.
Justin Stewart
They probably still wouldn't be able to grasp. Yeah, that's probably like some of all this stuff. It's like, it probably has an explanation. But we. That tribe, it's going to take a long time to really break it down because they've lived their whole life not knowing this exists. And here's how it makes sense.
Josh
It's not a crazy, like. So that there has to be stuff like that for us.
Michael
Yeah, sure.
Josh
There has to be. There's no way we know everything.
Andy
Yeah. How prideful to think that there isn't.
Josh
Yeah.
Andy
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
Why are they building up to heaven?
Josh
Exactly. Tower battle.
Justin Stewart
They know something's going on and they're like, ah, we're gonna get there.
Josh
Yeah. It's weird.
Justin Stewart
Very weird stuff.
Andy
Let's build our own tower.
Josh
What was the nape Bragazzi joke? Whereas, like, go back in time, he said I'd be.
Andy
I'd be useless. Yeah.
Josh
We got these things called phones.
Andy
Cool. How do they work?
Josh
I don't. I don't know.
Andy
I don't know.
Michael
I don't know.
Josh
How do you make it? I don't know that either.
Andy
I can tell you who wins the 1972 Super bowl, though.
Josh
Oh, well. Justin.
Justin Stewart
Yes.
Josh
Thank yous for coming.
Justin Stewart
This was awesome. Thanks for having me on here.
Josh
Of course, man.
Andy
It's been a long time coming.
Justin Stewart

Andy
Buy the first one, get the second one for your kids, audition for yourself.
Michael
What's Goose Bob sound like?
Andy
Goose Bob. That's my.
Josh
Is that what he sounds like in your head?
Justin Stewart
Well, I have the first two audiobooks already recorded. So Goosebob is already a voice.
Josh
Which one of these is Goose Bob?
Justin Stewart
He's the one with the mohawk. Yep.
Andy
The.
Justin Stewart

Josh
This one.
Justin Stewart
The big dude.
Josh

Andy
Yeah, it's more of a Goose Bob.

Josh
Yeah.
Justin Stewart
It's a little more raspy.
Andy
Yeah. Okay. I'm telling you, please give us a call if you need help.
Justin Stewart

Release Date: March 27, 2026
Hosts: Josh Hooper, Andy DeNoon, Michael
Guest: Justin Stewart (JStu)
In this lively and conspiracy-packed episode, the NAB crew welcomes Justin Stewart (JStu), a legendary YouTuber known for "JSTU Studios" and the "Laugh Daily Podcast," for a deep (and hilarious) dive into conspiracies, apocalyptic prophecies, government alien domains, and all things cryptid. The conversation is full of humor but also touches on serious currents in online influence, the future of YouTube, government psyops, and the supernatural.
Major talking points include the mysterious government registration of "aliens.gov," predictions for a disastrous 2027, stories of Bigfoot and spiritual encounters, and the complexities of walking away from a decade-spanning YouTube empire. With their usual irreverence and sharp banter, the hosts also reflect on technological manipulation, cultural paranoia, and faith.
Opening banter: Emo worship songs, church and country music parodies, and Stewart family name origins (03:00–06:00)
Justin’s background: JStu explains 14 years on YouTube, shutting down JSTU Studios in Dec 2025 (28:59).
Transitioning Away From the Spotlight (31:15–37:06)
Discussion about artificial intelligence’s role in manipulating media and creating new paradigms of mistrust ([44:36] onward).
Josh frames most UFO sightings as government craft, with some supernatural overlap; repeated references to biblical and extra-biblical texts (Book of Enoch etc.) ([47:34–48:57]).
Concerns over technological tools that can project voices into people’s heads, or warp perception ("Project Blue Beam" references) ([49:35–51:15]).
On Prophetic Cycles:
"It's piling up, man…2027 could be one of the hottest years in Earth's history." — Andy & Josh ([67:36], [64:12])
On Bigfoot and Skepticism:
"If there is something, the only thing I could pinpoint it on is, like, it's demonic." — Justin ([75:13])
On YouTube Burnout and Life Changes:
"I've been making like this type of content…but I feel like I'm growing in a different way. I can't keep doing the same thing." — Justin ([29:43])
On Faith and Discernment:
"I really think there's truly only one thing to keep you from being deceived, and that is true holy discernment from God." — Josh ([53:00])
On Media Misdirection and Manipulation:
"They can pick and choose… when an administration’s under fire, they're like, 'okay, well look at aliens, look over here.'" — Josh ([43:48])
On the Sphinx and Ancient Riddles:
"Why is there a single hypothetical creature [Bigfoot] on native totems, when every other one is real?" — Michael ([99:15])
| Segment | Timestamp | |----------------------------------|----------------------| | Emo worship, meeting JStu | 03:00 – 06:00 | | Chuck Norris death satire | 08:38 – 10:12 | | YouTube/influencing/growth talk | 28:36 – 37:12 | | Government buys alien.gov | 42:31 – 44:02 | | UFO/AI disclosure/deception | 47:34 – 53:00 | | Bigfoot hunting stories | 71:08 – 74:50 | | Supernatural/paranoia moments | 78:37 – 80:55 | | 2027 doom, prophecy, climate | 62:18 – 68:57 | | Counterterrorism, war politics | 85:24 – 89:56 | | Bigfoot, Nephilim, cryptids | 99:15 – 104:18 |
The tone is irreverent, self-aware, banter-heavy, and bursting with satirical jabs at both internet culture and current events. Beneath the laughter, there's honest reflection on public life, spiritual grounding, and the uncertainty of living through "a weird, weird world." This episode epitomizes NAB's blend of humor, skepticism, curiosity, and faith—all filtered through three friends and a guest who aren't afraid to say: "We don't know, but let's try to figure it out."
