Main Theme & Episode Structure

This episode is a rollicking and often irreverent exploration of current (and quasi-current) fringe stories:

• A reportedly secret government UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon, i.e., UFO) briefing for prominent pastors
• The US and Russian military programs using weaponized dolphins
• Alaskan and Appalachian cryptids, and their uncanny folklore connections
  The hosts blend good-natured skepticism, giddy banter, and real curiosity about world events, conspiracy, and spirituality.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The "Secret UAP Pastors Summit" (Starts ~[20:49])

• Keith introduces rumors that high-profile pastors were summoned to a hush-hush intelligence briefing about an impending "alien disclosure"—where they were told to prepare congregations for a revelation:

  • Aliens would be revealed as "non-human intelligences," even claimed as the creators of humanity, the Bible, and Jesus.
  • Senator Eric Burleson is named as one government contact allegedly involved.

• Soundbite:

  • "Go and tell the church they are not ready for what is coming. The narrative that is coming [...] They are preparing to tell us they are from another dimension, that they are our creator..." — (Anonymous Pastor quoting congressman, [26:00])

• Skepticism/Speculation:

  • The crew note how "obvious" this deception seems—why would officials warn pastors in this way?
  • "If there's going to be a deception, it's a true deception. It’s not like, guys, there's a deception about to happen. So get ready..." — Keith ([27:11])
  • Possible “double deception”: is warning about a fake alien creator story just another misdirection? The group debates if the pastors are unwitting pawns or savvy, "sussing something out."

• Connection to broader conspiracy culture:

  • The hosts reflect on Project Blue Book, holographic tech, and the idea that governments could fake an alien event—or a second coming.
  • They urge listeners to anchor themselves in faith and scriptural discernment, rather than hysteria:
    • “Don’t be so focused on that... Live for the kingdom of God. I guarantee you, you will not be deceived.” — Keith ([45:35])

2. Weaponized Dolphins & Marine Mammal Programs ([79:48])

• Lily reports that, since Vietnam, the US Navy (and others) have trained dolphins (and sea lions) to locate underwater mines and attach explosives.
  • Current stats: 85 bottlenose dolphins and ~50 sea lions are in the Navy’s active mammal program.
  • “Kamikaze dolphins” stories swirl, with allegations that both US and Soviet militaries trained dolphins for suicide bombing missions.
  • "They would strap sonar devices to them [...] later trained these dolphins [...] to place tiny explosive devices on mines... 10 to 15 hours later: kaboom." — Lily ([81:23])
  • Soviets went further—allegedly strapping large bombs to dolphins and sending them directly at enemy ships.
• Legal and ethical oddities:
  • It’s a federal offense to interact with a wild dolphin due to the risk of interfering with trained military dolphins.
  • Marine Mammal Protection Act ("harassing, hunting, capturing, or killing" includes loose bans on even "communicating" with wild dolphins).
  • "You don't interact[...] it's a federal offense... there is very loose language, but people have gotten in trouble for being on the side of a boat and interacting with a dolphin." — Lily ([83:53])

3. Viral News: Outbreak on a Cruise Ship ([61:50])

• An exploratory cruise from Argentina suffered a deadly outbreak of hantavirus (a rare, rodent-borne disease with up to 50% mortality). Several passengers died, and ports refused the ship entry.
• Only one passenger posted updates, fueling speculation—was this a real event or a staged social media operation?
• The hosts discuss official reports, how outbreaks are traced, and disturbing rumors of new, “manufactured” pandemic scares.
• “The mortality rate of hantavirus is anywhere between 30 and 50%. Not good odds.” — Keith ([63:04])
• There’s a notable tangent into patent filings for "frequency-activated" biological payloads and the alleged dangers of AirPods tracking biometric data, stoking more paranoia.

4. Alaskan & Russian Cryptids ([99:00])

• Josh shares a chilling Alaskan tale:
  • Fisherman in the Sitka wilderness hears a baby, then a child, then his brother calling from the forest—recognized as the hypnosis of a native cryptid, the Kushtaka.
  • The Kushtaka ("otter-man") mimics voices, lures victims, and is paralleled in Russian (lechi) and Appalachian (“don’t look at it” entity, mimics) folklore.
  • "Something didn't belong... It's called the Kushtaka. If you hear something... don't look at it." ([99:00]–[103:05])
• Cultural links:
  • Similar folklore evolves in disparate regions (Russia, Alaska, Appalachia), suggesting deep roots for these “entities that lure with mimicry.”

5. Light-hearted Interludes, Banter and Listener Engagement

• Humorous tangents: temperature wars in the studio ([02:48]), famous actors’ romantic scandals ([03:46]), childhood health woes (baby Noah, egg allergies, infinite peeing, etc.)
• Quirky listener questions: Coin flip for $10,000 a day but a llama spawns in your home if you lose ([51:36])
• The team improvises T-shirt ideas ("Don't Talk to Me" dolphin, "Kamikaze Dolphin"), throws out merch plugs, and teases their Patreon ([106:31]).
• Contest Reminder: Regular listeners who comment/engage on the podcast can win free Ninja merch ([06:04]).

Notable Quotes & Highlights

• On The Pastor Disclosure:

  • “Prepare the people for what is coming because they're not ready… They're preparing to tell us... there is no such thing as God. Jesus was invented by them. The Bible was invented by them.” — Keith reading pastor’s account ([26:00])
  • “If you leak too much... you've lost your contact. So they can only trickle information out. But then it's like this toxic tap that's just drip[ping] misinformation.” — Josh ([37:34])

• On Weaponized Dolphins:

  • “Now they're talking about kamikaze dolphins where you literally strap a larger explosion to a dolphin... they run them into either mines or ships, and that's what makes them explode.” — Lily ([82:03])
  • “It's a federal offense to interact with a dolphin in any way...” — Lily ([83:53])

• On Hantavirus Outbreak:

  • “People are dying, and people are like, 'Do not come to port.'” — Keith ([63:33])
  • “If you get it, you'll die. Don't freak out.” — Keith ([65:00])

• On Alaskan/ Appalachian Cryptids:

  • “The Kushtaka... can become either fully otter or fully human or a mix... pulls people deeper into the woods by mimicking loved ones.” — Josh ([100:31])
  • “If you hear or sense something out there, don't look at it.” — Keith ([103:05])
  • “That is a great theory for a horror movie.” — Lily ([102:56])

---

Tone and Takeaways

• Playful Paranoia: The hosts maintain a comic, tongue-in-cheek attitude even when discussing plot points worthy of a Netflix docuseries.
• Skeptical Encouragement: They repeatedly urge critical thinking, scriptural discernment, and taking all "revelations"—alien or bureaucratic—with a huge grain of salt.
  • “If you fully focus on living a life for Christ, blot out the world... you will not be deceived.” — Keith ([45:35])
• Community: Frequent thanks to listeners, crowdsourced content, merchandise giveaways, and sincere sharing of personal life.
• Spiritual Thread: Even wild stories wind back to spiritual warfare, faith, and the dangers of being "deceived by appearances."

---

Memorable Moments

• Alleged Alien Disclosure goes increasingly “inception-level” meta, with the crew riffing on how many layers of deception might be at play ([27:41]).
• Egg puns and "scrambled" podcast derailed by relentless laughter ([07:49]).
• Weaponized dolphin theory inspires the next hit T-shirt: “Don’t Talk to Me” (with a dolphin in the “Don’t Tread on Me” style) ([87:01]).
• Chilling folklore: Appalachian, Alaskan, and Russian myths merging into one eerie modern meme of the forest “mimic” ([103:05]).
• Practical paranoia: Discussion of patents for “frequency-activated” biological agents and biometric AirPods ([73:16], [74:02]).
• History lesson: The tale of Mithridates, the king who micro-dosed poison to build immunity (mad honey!)—ancient "chemical warfare" ([91:01]–[95:49]).

---

Conclusion

Ninjas Are Butterflies episode 195 is a wild, engaging sprawl across conspiracy, cryptids, and urban legend, deftly laced with humor, skepticism, and practical faith. The hosts encourage listeners to be vigilant, discerning, and—most of all—not to take themselves (or the world’s scariest news) too seriously. Whether it’s elite pastors prepping for disclosure, weaponized dolphins stalking the seas, or cryptids lurking in American forests, if it can be imagined, they’ll talk about it—and probably make a T-shirt.

[Keith]

Hey, ninjas. Welcome to the show. Guess what? Pastors were gathered all over the nation and they were debriefed by government and intelligence officials about the upcoming alien invasion. Is it a deception?

[Josh]

Is it real?

[Keith]

Probably a deception. We're going to talk about it.

[Lily]

And the US Navy is strapping bombs to dolphins, ladies and gentlemen. They've been doing it since Vietnam. It's a wild ride.

[Josh]

Last week we talked about Russian cryptids. This week we're talking about Alaska and Appalachia. And there's more connections than you can even imagine. It's going to be nuts.

[Andrew]

And unless you're trapped in a double inception deception, this podcast is brought to you Empowered by Sunday. Cool. So watch this or listen.

[Lily]

A double inception deception. Oh, that's what she said.

[Josh]

A double inception deception.

[Lily]

Yes.

[Keith]

A double inception deception. That sounds like a double deception.

[Josh]

A deception. Really quick. If you could put any kind of AI crazy image underneath a picture of a T shirt for a transition to the next segment, like, what would be there?

[Keith]

Nessie.

[Josh]

What's Nessie doing?

[Keith]

Vladimir Putin's wearing the shirt on Nessie.

[Josh]

Okay.

[Andrew]

What are you talking about?

[Keith]

You'll see.

[Andrew]

Andrew. Andrew's getting me snacks every episode.

[Keith]

That's very nice.

[Lily]

Maybe you want something. Money, perhaps?

[Andrew]

Money?

[Lily]

It's trying to bribe you or something.

[Keith]

It's a cool jacket.

[Andrew]

You think?

[Lily]

We bought that for the 80s video, didn't we?

[Keith]

A fan sent us that a long time.

[Lily]

Oh, really? Yeah, we used it for the 80s video.

[Keith]

Yeah, sure.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

I have to wear a jacket because it's flipping cold in here.

[Lily]

It is cold. I literally. I just told you. I had to leave the office because I couldn't focus. My legs were too cold. And I was like, I will Work from home. I can't do this right now. I'm gonna bring in a blanket.

[Andrew]

What personality type exists where there's one person in the room that likes this temperature and they win the temperature gauge? What personality type is that?

[Josh]

So a control freak who gets their own way.

[Keith]

That's me.

[Josh]

No, I like it cold.

[Andrew]

Andrew, you're too cold.

[Keith]

My thing is, if you're cold, what's it with the. You can get warm. You can get warm in here. We got sweaters, Sunday Cool Prince blankets. We can get warm if you're hot. You can't get cold unless you get a bucket of ice to put your feet in.

[Josh]

Truth.

[Keith]

And then that's just uncomfortable. Then you got wet, cold feet. And we know what happens when you get cold feet.

[Lily]

What happens?

[Keith]

You leave them at the altar.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

Families are ruined.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Oh, my gosh. Speaking of leaving people at the altar, Pride and Prejudice.

[Lily]

Remind me. What. What's that one?

[Andrew]

Are you serious?

[Lily]

No, I'm joking.

[Keith]

Go.

[Andrew]

I just learned this. It's so gossipy, though. It's, like, almost not worth talking about. And I also don't know if it's true. Rosamund pike plays Jane Bennett, her sister. Yeah. I mean, the most beautiful woman in the entire world.

[Keith]

No.

[Andrew]

She plays Jane Bennett. Get this. Before they started filming this movie, she and Bingley, the actor that plays Bingley, who she marries in Pride and Prejudice.

[Lily]

Okay.

[Andrew]

Who she marries in Pride and Prejudice.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Were engaged to one another.

[Lily]

Wow.

[Andrew]

And apparently, she made the save the date invitations, and they didn't run him past him. And it was, like, a cheeky picture of them in the tub or something. Just like, a silly picture.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

And he was so embarrassed that he called off the wedding, like, and ghosted her.

[Lily]

What?

[Andrew]

And then they never resolve. And then they go to film Pride and Prejudice together as each other's love interests.

[Lily]

That's rough. That's crazy.

[Josh]

That's actually nuts.

[Andrew]

Is it true? I don't know. I just saw someone talking about it,

[Lily]

but I'm like, what are you talking about?

[Andrew]

That is the craziest story in the world. Also, breaking up with Roseman Pike. What?

[Lily]

Yeah. I hold the bag.

[Keith]

I would.

[Andrew]

Why?

[Keith]

Because I got. Because you.

[Andrew]

I know.

[Lily]

Nice.

[Josh]

Lily.

[Keith]

I never break up with her.

[Josh]

Yeah, I know you feel like you're behind on your knitting project, but you got to eat the mic.

[Andrew]

I can move like this.

[Josh]

There you go.

[Lily]

Speaking of knitting and being cold, shout out to Ashley and Lindsey, who are literally building my T shirt blanket right now.

[Andrew]

I did mess up.

[Lily]

Incredible people. Guess what. Guess who's not gonna mess up. Lindsey and Ashley, thank you so much to everyone who emailed me. I had, like, 60 people.

[Andrew]

That's so cool.

[Lily]

Email me about this T shirt goal. And I. I'm saving all Yalls emails. And I appreciate everyone that reached out because I'm gonna have more T shirts later on and I may reach out to you, but I had to pick two people because I had so many shirts. And, man, it's gonna be awesome. I have a lady, Ashley. She lives in the bush in Alaska.

[Josh]

Got a story for her today.

[Lily]

Things are, like, get shipped by, like, planes up there.

[Andrew]

That's so forever.

[Lily]

It's gonna be dope. Can't wait. So shout out to y'. All. I love you all. Appreciate you.

[Keith]

Also, shout out to everyone that comments. What, on this video, this podcast episode. Yeah, because we are choosing one winner a week people to send some ninja merch, too. And we got some new ninja merch in the works, so you might get some new stuff.

[Lily]

Yes.

[Keith]

But, yeah, if you comment, like, share, make sure you're subscribed, it helps out a ton.

[Lily]

And it's not, like, just a sticker. I'm sending this out personally, and I'm telling you, it could be a hat and a shirt and socks. It could be stickers. It could be literally a whole mess of things. I'm getting messages from people back like, hey, I got my swag. Thank you so much just for commenting. This is great. So what do they have to comment Sunday?

[Andrew]

Nice.

[Lily]

Something nice about who you got spoiled. Yeah, we've been doubling up on Give it to Andrew. Give it to Andrew. He just. Didn't you just have a baby?

[Josh]

I did just have a kid. Oh, my gosh. He's healthy.

[Keith]

Healthy baby boy.

[Lily]

I can't wait. I can't wait till Noah's, like, 12. We're still doing this.

[Josh]

Dude, he's doing good. He had a gnarly regression last night, though. We were getting four or five hours, and then about two and a half, three hours, and he just lost it. Like, Paige was like, what did you. I was changing him. She's like, what did you do to him? Was like, I promise you, nothing. Just screaming.

[Lily]

I just pinched him. You have to pinch them before you change the diaper, right?

[Josh]

Oh, is that the hack?

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Okay.

[Andrew]

I will say get him allergy tested. Our dear Zoe Love is severely allergic to eggs, and she's getting an EpiPen for a baby.

[Lily]

That's scary.

[Keith]

Whoa.

[Lily]

Eggs. Eggs are in so much.

[Andrew]

I know.

[Lily]

That's wild.

[Andrew]

And If Jamie eats eggs, then Zoe eats eggs.

[Josh]

Oof. Man, he's been. He's been good. He just. He was just on one.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Lily]

Being a baby, that's not excellent at all.

[Keith]

Nice, nice.

[Lily]

Sorry, I didn't mean to make a yoke right there.

[Keith]

I went. I went to the. I went to the doctor yesterday.

[Lily]

Cracked her up.

[Keith]

What's up, doctor Yesterday?

[Lily]

I can't stop coming.

[Josh]

This podcast is scrambled.

[Andrew]

Oh, it's so good.

[Keith]

All right, everyone.

[Lily]

You went to the doctor?

[Keith]

I was trying to think of an eggplant, and I asked him. My doctor's so funny. He's just, like, so nonchalant. He's like, yeah, your cholesterol looks. It's looking good. Doing great. Any questions? I'm like, I've never asked you, but I've been peeing so much ever since a child. I pee so much. Yeah, like a crazy amount. He's like, should you get up in the middle of the night to pee? I'm like, every night?

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

He's like, oh, yeah. Well, we can just write you a prescription that can help that. Like, it's that. It's been that easy.

[Lily]

What are you talking about? You've never talked to your doctor about this? No.

[Keith]

I mean, because I went through the whole thing with the urologist way back in the day, and they're like, sorry, bud, you're just gonna peel out for the rest of your life.

[Lily]

That's the first step, isn't it? The first step. First step, chat, gbt. Second step, doctor.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Lily]

This is your own fault. You've been putting yourself through pain, bro.

[Keith]

I know. Well, we're gonna see how it works. He's like, side effects are dry mouth and constipation. I said, I'll take it.

[Josh]

It's sounds like two fixes, though.

[Andrew]

We're gonna do a little bit more Googling before we say yes.

[Lily]

So you've had it ever since you've had a baby? Correct. Yeah. Maybe it's stretched out urethra,

[Keith]

dude. We. Guys, we got a lot of stuff to talk about today.

[Lily]

So much stuff.

[Keith]

Te crazy stuff. Aliens, kamikaze dolphins, pastors talking about aliens.

[Lily]

I'm completely out of the loop on.

[Keith]

Well, here's the thing, too, guys. We're two weeks ahead, so everything we talk about is right now is right. It's happening right now. So we apologize, and we know some of you don't like it, but it'll just be a little refresher. And it's like you're looking into a time machine and seeing Us experience it now, and in two weeks, the world could be different.

[Lily]

You're looking at us now. You're like, you silly boys. You were completely off.

[Andrew]

You get to be like a time traveler.

[Josh]

No, like, I think the problem is people are addicted to their phones and they're getting all of their information from a ton of different places. We're trying to provide a service so that you can come to us, get your news and not be caught up in the hysteria. Get it a couple weeks later. Let it calm down and it'll be digested.

[Keith]

Yeah, digest it.

[Lily]

Yeah. Wasn't those last two weeks pretty crazy, guys?

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Lily]

Take a deep breath. You're with ninjas or butterflies.

[Josh]

All your friends are losing it. You feel fine.

[Keith]

Yeah. Speaking of losing it, too. You want to shout?

[Lily]

Would you like a song?

[Josh]

Hey, real quick, mime. Yell at Andy.

[Keith]

Huh?

[Josh]

Mime yelling.

[Lily]

That's not a mime. Mime.

[Keith]

That would scary because you have to.

[Josh]

Really? Sure you can.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Yeah, sure you can.

[Lily]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Josh]

That's Andy.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

All right, there we go.

[Lily]

Song time. Hong time.

[Andrew]

Why are you taking pictures?

[Lily]

Why not social media?

[Keith]

Oh, you know, we're a three man team here. We ain't got like some. Some interns in the back.

[Josh]

Oh, we're four man. She's gonna take pictures during the song.

[Andrew]

Cool. I can do that.

[Josh]

There you go.

[Andrew]

Trust me, Trust me, trust me.

[Lily]

Drops it immediately. All right, It's a long song.

[Josh]

When you're done with that, you can just. Just set it in the corner, set

[Lily]

it on the food. It's 9am and we're doing our podcast. We're here to sing you a song. But something feels off. I'm not really sure, but singing right now feels wrong. We need something good. We need something better, something that feels truer. So I guess we'll just jump right into it.

[Keith]

Today's question, sent in by a viewer. Did you have a seat?

[Andrew]

Yes.

[Keith]

Why don't you go have a seat?

[Lily]

Put down the camera.

[Andrew]

What's going on?

[Keith]

Today's question, sent in by a viewer. Lily, is being famous hard?

[Andrew]

I can imagine. For famous people.

[Keith]

It has its a yes or no. We know. You know how this goes. Is being famous hard for famous people?

[Josh]

Yes or no?

[Keith]

It's famous. Don't laugh. Please, please stop.

[Lily]

It's being famous hard.

[Keith]

It's being famous hard. Yes or no, Lil?

[Andrew]

Yeah, okay.

[Lily]

It's weird.

[Keith]

So you think you're famous, huh?

[Lily]

Seems kind of pretentious that you would just say that right out the gate, like just. Yeah, it's hard.

[Josh]

I think you can focus on your answer.

[Lily]

What about you? Being famous is hard, Lil. What's hard about it?

[Andrew]

For those who are famous.

[Keith]

No, you just said you were famous.

[Lily]

We asked you the question. Is being famous hard? And you said yes. You didn't hesitate.

[Keith]

There's no hesitation.

[Lily]

You didn't say. You didn't try to weasel your right. Out of the question. You said yes.

[Keith]

Do you really think of yourself that way?

[Andrew]

No.

[Lily]

Oh, look at her putting her shades on.

[Keith]

Yeah. Miss. Miss Famous. You gotta hide. Hide from the paparazzi, I guess.

[Lily]

Ms. Hollywood over here.

[Josh]

Yeah. What kind of person wears glasses inside?

[Lily]

As soon as she walks in here, she puts on a jacket that's not even hers. We told her, please don't wear that. She grabs it anyway, says, this is mine. I don't care what you say. Puts on her glasses.

[Andrew]

Oh, my goodness.

[Lily]

Steals Andrew's camera.

[Josh]

She told. I told her it was too loud for the podcast, and she was like, it'll be fine. Fix it.

[Keith]

Post. That's sick.

[Lily]

She said, that's not my job. That's not my prop. I know, and I'm pretty sure there's a racial slur in there.

[Josh]

Well, I couldn't tell if that's what she was doing.

[Keith]

Our goal is to not be famous. Our goal is to just have fun. Spread the love of Jesus, make him famous. Make him famous.

[Josh]

Increase, we decrease.

[Andrew]

Yes, I know.

[Lily]

As long as you're up there with him, right?

[Keith]

It's so hard to be famous.

[Andrew]

I didn't. I wasn't relating it to myself.

[Lily]

You said yes. We asked you, is it hard being famous? You said yes. That's exactly what you did.

[Andrew]

I'm being empathetic to famous people. That's it.

[Keith]

I don't know. Is it?

[Lily]

Would you ever say that you're empathetic to yourself?

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Lily]

Okay, so then you just. Right there. That's what. Exactly what you just said.

[Keith]

All right, guys, well, I guess you're here first. I don't know what's happening.

[Lily]

Is too good for us. She's too good for you.

[Keith]

She. I'm pretty sure she's going to go start her own podcast.

[Lily]

No, that's what she's. The rumors are saying.

[Keith]

Well, guys, I guess the next couple episodes you'll know if she's going to be a part of this podcast or not.

[Lily]

I guess so.

[Keith]

Welcome to the show. Did I say ninja?

[Lily]

I meant butterfly.

[Keith]

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

[Josh]

Life has to empty your mind.

[Lily]

You were martial arts ninjas. Attack.

[Andrew]

The Funny thing is, I might not be a part of the next few episodes.

[Lily]

That's the joke, Lil.

[Andrew]

I see, I see.

[Keith]

And then we should pretend we should make another podcast.

[Andrew]

Oh, that's so funny. Maybe one day I would do another podcast, but I would do it about mom stuff and lady stuff.

[Josh]

Ew.

[Lily]

And gossip stuff and ew.

[Josh]

Gross.

[Lily]

And movies gossip.

[Andrew]

You guys need to do another show too. For real. I've been on Josh about making a kids show.

[Keith]

We'll do it.

[Lily]

Would you guys like that? We did a kids show.

[Keith]

A lot of people we used to do a thing for. It was grow. It was a grow curriculum. And I did. Did my Carl character. A lot of kids loved it. So we're thinking of doing like a kids Carl podcast. It'd be like a 15 minute episode thing.

[Lily]

I literally did the Bible class last week at my girls co op, which is happening, and they watch grow tv. And they freaked out when you called. They freaked out when I showed.

[Keith]

Very silent.

[Lily]

I mean, yeah, I mean, that's what happens most of the time. They were excited, though. They asked a ton of questions.

[Keith]

What happened?

[Lily]

I don't know. He just left. It's okay. Well, he'll come back. He always comes back, right?

[Keith]

What are you looking at your phone for?

[Andrew]

I got a text. I wondered if it was him saying, emergency, emergency.

[Keith]

I doubt he would text you in

[Andrew]

our ninja clan chat. Not just me.

[Lily]

There's no way you would text you. You're too famous.

[Andrew]

Talking about this kid show, I foresee it being very silly, but we could do something like a Bible verse. Maybe we talk to an actual teacher, like your mom or something, and get ideas about what to say on the show. And then maybe we do like a periodic table segment where you guys go through all the elements of the periodic table. Each episode you cover one.

[Lily]

But they're all wrong.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

And. But there's props. And so it's like, here's uranium, and it's like Josh's hands touch it and

[Keith]

they, like, turn into a skeleton and

[Andrew]

it's just green slime or something, which is very silly.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

When you touch uranium, you see the future.

[Andrew]

Anyway, would you let your kids consume that?

[Josh]

Yeah. I don't know what happened in the parking lot. I got a message that my alarm was going off, went out there, turned mine off, and someone else's was going off too. So.

[Lily]

Earthquake.

[Keith]

Speaking of earthquakes, all the earthquakes there was. Did you see. I mean, a couple weeks ago, there was like four or seven earthquakes all around Area 51.

[Lily]

Really? No, I didn't See that? That's interesting.

[Josh]

I think they got to be doing stuff underground. For sure.

[Keith]

For sure.

[Josh]

So our neighbor just had fiber optic put in. And Paige said, I mean, you know, they're just digging, like, a little tunnel, you know, with that boring machine. But Paige said the whole house was just, like, violent. Like, she was like, it sounds like a car's driving under our house right now. But you think about, you know, we're talking a building.

[Keith]

Underground cities.

[Josh]

Yeah. The difference. Yeah. It's gonna shake everything.

[Andrew]

Dude, your house is turning 100 years old next year.

[Josh]

I know.

[Andrew]

You should throw a party.

[Lily]

Centennial.

[Josh]

I should. What if we did, like, the Bilbo thing, like, actually in the field?

[Andrew]

Oh, that would be so fun.

[Josh]

The Shire party. Show up in character.

[Keith]

Are you going to be me, Gandalf?

[Andrew]

Yeah, of course.

[Josh]

Checks.

[Lily]

Yeah. I'll be an elf. I'll be a female elf.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Lily]

Too bad. No, you're set it first.

[Andrew]

Aragon. Yeah. My eyes are going to close together.

[Keith]

Like, I don't. She says that, and I don't understand what.

[Andrew]

Aragon, Viggo Morrison, Morgeson, Aragorn, Viggo, Morgeson or Morinson.

[Keith]

I don't know.

[Andrew]

He's very handsome, but he's.

[Keith]

His eyes are close together. I don't agree with that.

[Andrew]

I've thought in my whole life, who

[Josh]

in your family looks like, Said the sloth to make you think that that's normal.

[Lily]

He looks pretty normal.

[Josh]

Yeah, he looks pretty normal.

[Lily]

Not saying that people aren't normal that have eyes close together.

[Andrew]

I'm not saying he's ugly.

[Lily]

That's not what I'm saying.

[Andrew]

I'm saying I could see.

[Lily]

I think his eyes are normal, but I think he's just got a lot of space on the sides that make it look like they're closer.

[Josh]

He got them cheekbones because, like, big head.

[Lily]

A lot of people have, like, the square head where the eyes are, like, the edge of their face. I think he just has more room.

[Andrew]

It also doesn't matter at all.

[Keith]

It does, apparently.

[Josh]

Bring it up. Was it Mary or Pippin that he kissed in one of the, like, the celebratory scenes? But it wasn't scripted. Have you seen that clip? That's so funny. I'll pull it. Okay, remind me to go back to that. I'll pull it up over time.

[Lily]

Imagine if you were, like, when you first met Lily or, like, on your wedding day. You're like. By the way, your eyes are, like, really close together, but you're like. But it doesn't matter at all.

[Andrew]

He said some pretty.

[Lily]

That's a crazy thing to say.

[Keith]

Me?

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Lily]

Say it.

[Josh]

I'm not going to say it. You can't do that. You got to say something. You got to give us something.

[Lily]

What Example.

[Josh]

Come on.

[Andrew]

I can't say it even.

[Lily]

He wants.

[Josh]

He wants to know. Yeah.

[Andrew]

Later.

[Keith]

Okay.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Patreon.com forward slash.

[Andrew]

I'm afraid whenever I bring it up to it, you're always like, I did not say that. And I'm like, you don't think I would remember you saying that?

[Lily]

You might have misremembered it?

[Keith]

Not remember a lot of things.

[Lily]

Is there a possibility you could misremember something?

[Andrew]

No.

[Keith]

Yes.

[Andrew]

Not in this circumstance.

[Keith]

How do you.

[Josh]

How can you be fully confident in

[Andrew]

anything when we are fully. When we are nude dating? You're. You're retaining everything.

[Lily]

You dated nude. What is that?

[Keith]

Nude dating.

[Andrew]

New. You're dating. You're new at dating.

[Lily]

Got it. Speaking of new dating.

[Keith]

New dating.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

Let's get right into it.

[Lily]

What are we getting into, pal?

[Josh]

Recently.

[Keith]

And when this comes out, there might be some weird stuff happening, but recently, when we're filming this, there's apparently a group of pastors.

[Andrew]

Oh, boy.

[Lily]

Okay.

[Keith]

Famous pastors, which I don't know any of them truly, but.

[Lily]

Yeah. Do you have the names?

[Keith]

One of them is.

[Lily]

This explains the blurry creatures post that I saw.

[Keith]

One of them is Perry Stone.

[Lily]

Okay.

[Keith]

Which apparently he's like a. Yeah. He said these are all like, TV pastors.

[Lily]

Got it.

[Keith]

This guy's like, super end times. Another guy, his name is Joseph Z. And then I don't know who the third guy is, but. But apparently these pastors were called by some government officials in the intelligence agencies, one of them being a senator. Senator. Or. Sorry. Congressman Eric Burleson. Burleson. And they were called and said there needs to be a meeting. And so they flew to a location. I think they flew to, like, Colorado or something. They said, don't bring your cell phones.

[Andrew]

Oh, gosh. Typical.

[Keith]

We have a meeting that we need

[Josh]

to talk with you guys. Sweet.

[Keith]

This whole thing. Let me just start off. It's weird, wacky, fishy. It stinks of fishiness.

[Andrew]

Like, in what way?

[Keith]

Like, I don't know.

[Lily]

We still haven't given us any information. Like, what are we talking about?

[Keith]

Because I'm just so. I don't want to present it. Like, guys, this is. This is. Yeah, I'm like, this is weird.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

Like. Anyways, a bunch of pastors came together, and they were sat in a room. This congressman came out Or a video chat or something. And he's like, is everyone sitting down?

[Andrew]

Oh, gosh.

[Keith]

He said, are all the pastors in the room? Yes, Congressman, we're all here.

[Lily]

Yes, sir.

[Keith]

And he said, the disclosure that is about to come out with these aliens, they are going to confirm non human intelligence. They're going to basically present it that there's an alien race that has been living here a long time. And in fact, they are our creators.

[Lily]

Oh, gosh, like anunnaki kind of stuff?

[Keith]

No, like reptilian type of things.

[Lily]

Okay.

[Keith]

There are creators. They created the Bible. They created Jesus Christ.

[Andrew]

Oh, no.

[Josh]

Yikes.

[Keith]

Your goal or not your goal. What I'm telling you to do is you need to prepare your congregations for this disclosure.

[Andrew]

How?

[Keith]

Any pointers on how basically saying, like, I think they're hinting at that this is a deception.

[Andrew]

Oh, I see.

[Keith]

Kind of thing. And so there's three pastors that. I got videos of them talking about it.

[Lily]

I would love to hear it.

[Josh]

Oh, I've only seen the one which, though.

[Keith]

One of the guys. Heads close or the guy with the background.

[Josh]

Background.

[Keith]

Yeah, that's the Pete guy or what? His name is Perry Stone.

[Josh]

Thank you for describing that in a way where you knew. There's no way I remembered names.

[Keith]

I don't remember names either. Let me see that. Let me see that.

[Josh]

Plugged in.

[Keith]

It is plugged in. I plugged it in.

[Andrew]

Wait, so help me just like. Like really nitpick what you said.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

So this guy's like, prepare your congregation to understand that this is going to be a deception. Or he's like, prepare your congregation to learn news. That whole entire faith is being dismantled.

[Keith]

The deception, I think, because a lot of these. They're saying the. The people in the intelligence, which it's. It seems to be part of that. That group. I. For the life of me, I can't remember their name. Tim Albera. Tim Albarino talks a lot about them.

[Andrew]

The 12 or something.

[Keith]

No, it's not the 12. It's.

[Josh]

Describe it to me. I'll do some.

[Keith]

It's basically like an organization within the government.

[Lily]

The Clintons.

[Josh]

No, no.

[Keith]

That they're Christians. It's like a group of Christian politicians that don't want the alien disclosure to come out.

[Lily]

Okay.

[Keith]

This is wild because Tim Burchett.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Keith]

He's like. When he was brought this news, they're like, we can't. We can't disclose this stuff because it's going to ruin people's faith. And he's like, no, it won't yeah, and weird stuff. But here's one of them. And hopefully this doesn't get flagged, Andrew, if it does, because it has music under it. So we'll play this and I'll play the other ones too. But just listen to this one first. We might have to cut this one out or mute.

[Lily]

We just add music on top.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

Only handful of pastors invited to come to a private meeting with a group of men who are connected with the intelligence world, that are believers but are still have very high security clearance. These are legit true men of God that are still connected to Washington and even this current administration and all branches of military. And they literally told us we had a sitting congressman, a very well known congressman from Missouri. He was, he called into that meeting as well. That was just for pastors. And this is what he said on speakerphone. This sitting powerful member of Congress said, are the pastors listening to me? I'm getting chills right now because this happened to me. He said, are the pastors in the room listening to me? And I said, yes, sir, we are here. And he said, listen to me. Go and tell the church they are not ready for what is coming. The narrative that is coming. What they are going to say is going to be like nothing you can even imagine. They are preparing to tell us that they are from another dimension, that they are our creator and that these beings, these aliens, whatever you want to call them, they were the ones that seated us here. There is no such thing as God. Jesus was invented by them. The Bible was invented by them. And begin to just say, listen, prepare the people for what is coming because they're not ready. He loved us so much. He made sure that he told us exactly the blueprint to study. He said, study the days of no Noah. And if you can understand how Noah responded, that's how you're going to have to respond. And I believe what God is doing in the body of Christ right now is getting us ready. Because the world is going to have a lot of questions. The question for you is, are you going to be able to answer it?

[Keith]

Can you understand the weirdness of this? Like all this. Why? Why? This just seems too obvious.

[Lily]

Yeah, it seems like it seems way too obvious.

[Keith]

Like you don't. This kind of stuff. I don't feel like I could be so wrong, but I feel like if there's going to be a deception, it's a true deception. And it's not like, guys, there's a deception about to happen. So get ready because then now this is viral Stuff it's like.

[Josh]

Exactly.

[Lily]

But what if it's a deception ception.

[Keith]

That's what I'm saying. Like, what if these guys.

[Lily]

This is the one, two punch.

[Keith]

Because why would the government bring in these pastors knowing that they're going to go out?

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

There's something weird about.

[Josh]

It doesn't exist in the church like it should. The fact that certain politicians can say, I am of the faith and then act the way they do and be embraced by a large percentage of Christian culture, just kind of even. And not. I'm not just talking boomers and Facebook. Like, there's Gen Z, Gen Alpha, and millennials too, with some of, like, musicians and stuff. Like, stuff we can clearly see is fake, but, like, they're not catching on. So when you do things like this, you get pastors together who are making claims, and, I don't know, this isn't an accusation against them, but it's. It's like, let's just have a little discretion, a little discernment, and kind of like, filter through some of this stuff because it doesn't feel right.

[Keith]

No. Also, I want to say that these people in the government, whoever they are, this Congressman, if they are, like, true followers of Christ and they knew of this horrendous, evil deception that's about to happen, say everything, then.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

You don't be like, guys, something's about to come out.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

So just get ready. No, you'd be like, this is what's coming out. This is what they're going to do.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

Because the Kingdom of God matters way more than me going to prison, you know?

[Lily]

Absolutely.

[Josh]

And the qualifications that put them in the room, these are the pastors that need to be warned to be ready to prepare their congregations. If they have the qualifications to get in the room, they should already be, like, theologically and biblically equipped to handle something that comes out as discerning. Pastors, like, you don't need to be warned. Deception is coming. When deception happens, as a shepherd, you should be like, hey, there's a wolf. I don't need, you know, someone from the wolf pack to come tell me the wolves are coming. I can see it. Yeah.

[Keith]

And I don't want to bash these pastors because I don't know who they are.

[Lily]

And, like, that's my question.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Lily]

Why these pastors?

[Keith]

Right.

[Lily]

Like, what's the. I mean, obviously they have a following. They've, you know, they teach, and people probably love them. I don't know anything about them, so I can't say anything about them. But it's. What's their audience? What's their demographics?

[Keith]

What is it seems like they're being set up. And this. I say that because this other. A pastor guy who has like a talk show or podcast or something, he said they gathered the pastors, they flew out from Tennessee to. I think it was Utah. Let me see. They flew out from Tennessee to Colorado Springs. And what was weird is that on their flight, it was either on their flight there or back. All these pastors, they just so happen to say, look out the window, there's six UFOs.

[Andrew]

No, shut the front door.

[Keith]

And so he shows the video of these UFOs, these orbs being all wacky.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

Outside his window.

[Andrew]

I'm like, that's really suspect.

[Keith]

This seems like. Okay, if you're just gonna play. If you're going to convince these guys of anything, make it at all secretive. Don't bring your phone.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Keith]

Everyone get on this plane. We got an important meeting to talk about.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Also, here's these UFOs.

[Keith]

We talk about this, this disclosure coming out, this great deception. Prepare congregations. All right, guys, you go home and just prepare your congregations on your flight back. What? There's six UFOs outside the window? Yeah.

[Josh]

That's weird.

[Keith]

That's. That's for them. It's like that's sealing the deal. Like, if I was just like caught up in it, like, because it seems like it was a fast moving thing. And then you were told this stuff by a congressman and these people in the intelligence agency flying back home, and I see UFOs, I'd be like, yeah, like, you really? That's like a nail in the coffin.

[Lily]

Totally. And you look at that guy's reaction, and I'm not, once again, don't know him, so I'm not judging him. But he emphasized how many times that this dude was a powerful dude in the world of politics. Right. Like, he made sure that was an emphasis. If I'm trusting anybody, the last person on that list is a politician that's powerful. Like, so it's like, I mean, you have to take that with a grain of salt. You could say you're a Christian. But if you're a politician, a successful, powerful one. I don't. I mean, I. Obviously I'm not in that world, but I don't know where the fruit is

[Josh]

before we judge them too hard, too. Like, if I got. If I was pastoring and got invited and, like, felt like it was off, it's like, know your enemy. Like, I'd still go, so Just because someone. Just because someone. Like, if. If it all does start looking fishy and you're like, dang, this dude I respected went. Doesn't mean that dude is bought in. The dude might just be sussing something out.

[Keith]

I'm not judging these passers at all. I really think they're potentially part of a. Another layer of deception.

[Lily]

Yeah, it's never that simple.

[Keith]

But what in my brain, what. How does that even work? Like, what is. Why would they tell them this? Like, is there another layer? Like, are they going to be like, is it the layer of. That this is going to happen? And they're going to fake like Jesus coming back? And so then the people are like, these are.

[Josh]

Oh, that's what it was.

[Keith]

Who was it? Was it not Albert? There's somebody on Blurry. I believe he was from Egypt or something. He talked about. He believes that there's going. They're going to basically stage like an alien invasion. So there's gonna be bad guys, the bad aliens, and then they're gonna stage the good aliens, which would be part of like Jesus and stuff. So could that be part of the deception?

[Lily]

Like, the bad aliens are the Democrats, right?

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Lily]

They will register as Democrats.

[Keith]

Any liberal.

[Josh]

Yeah, yeah.

[Keith]

No, but could it be like. Because that. Could they stage a. My brain is running right now because

[Lily]

I love this subject.

[Keith]

Well, because it reminds me of our interview that we had with Bart. Coolest perspective, coolest conspiracy of his connection with these scientists going missing.

[Josh]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Keith]

And he's like, what about the Malaysian flight that went missing years ago? Or like, what about it? He's like, there's. What was it, 20 something scientists on it.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

And he said these scientists were world renowned for their holographic technology.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Keith]

And he's like, blue Book. Yeah. Like a connection with Project Blue Book. Something like that. He's like, he believes that the planes are swapped out.

[Josh]

Yep.

[Keith]

And that those scientists were brought back to the US and then you have all these. So you got these holographic dudes and then you got these guys that are known in propulsion.

[Josh]

Propulsion.

[Keith]

Anti gravity. You could create a ufo.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Josh]

And make it appear.

[Keith]

And make it appear. And it's like, it seems like it's setting the stage for.

[Josh]

And for fairness to him. He didn't say bring them back to the U.S. he just said they're collected and somewhere working on something.

[Lily]

I think he did say the U.S. did he really? I think. I'm pretty sure, yeah. That's what he was insinuating. And I think he said I'm gonna

[Josh]

edit out my comment then.

[Lily]

Yeah, no, you're fine. But, yeah, dude, I love this. This is great. And I, and it's one of those things where if it is legit, you know, if it is a guy, I get the guy, like, saying, hey, I can't say everything.

[Andrew]

Yeah, me too.

[Lily]

But, but, like, he just be ready. And I'm like, I, I, I appreciate that, whatever. But I also, like, maybe. And my mind goes, he probably didn't disclose certain things because he doesn't know how it's actually going to come out. Because if he releases too much or thing that didn't happen, like, then it's like, okay, well, now we can't even trust you. But once again, a politician is telling you this, and you can't take it as truth, as gospel.

[Keith]

Why are they the gatekeepers of.

[Lily]

That's why I want to know why they got.

[Andrew]

Exactly.

[Lily]

What's their target audience? Are they sold out? Are they. I mean, I don't know if this guy's Republican, Democrat, whatever, if it's like a party thing. And so they're all sold out and they trust this guy. And it's like, I don't know, it's weird, man. It's very, very strange.

[Keith]

But yeah, I was saying, like, why are politicians the gatekeepers of the unknown?

[Lily]

Like, that should already turn you off. Yeah, like that, that's what ticks me off. It's like, why, like, who gives you the right to know all this?

[Keith]

And look at all the false flags the United States and any other government, like, for that matter, has done to deceive the people, to sway them in a certain direction. And it's like, so now they're the gatekeepers of an alien race.

[Andrew]

Oh, dude. But that's. It makes perfect sense why they would be the ones. Because they can be not speaking for every politician, but they have the propensity to be dishonest, to withhold information. And I think it's all because they want to control us, you know, for sure. And that's why these scientists are being silenced, because they're like, let me tell you about it. And it's like, no, dude.

[Lily]

And controlling us could also look like chaos.

[Andrew]

Yeah. I will say, to play devil's advocate, I could understand why, as a believing congressperson, even if it was just like, some information, like, very little information, it's like things are coming out right now that could deceive the Christian population. And so be prepared and prepare your congregation so that they do not fall into these traps of aliens Being our overlord point, I could understand why they would want to do that, but why those pastors? I've never.

[Keith]

Maybe he's friends with them.

[Lily]

Why make. That's. And that's the thing. But like, then go have. Go sit at their church or something. Send a message out yourself to these people and don't let the pastors be the secondhand news kind of guy.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Lily]

Also makes it a lot more doomy and gloomy.

[Keith]

I don't know if it was that congressman that I mentioned. I think people are speculating that it was that Congress.

[Lily]

So it wasn't disclosed. That makes sense. Why his name? Like if he dropped his name. That's crazy.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

I would also be curious what denomination each of these pastors belonged to if it was one specific denomination.

[Lily]

I'm very curious. I mean, I would have to go look. I'm just gonna look online at their sermons and stuff.

[Keith]

They're all Mormon.

[Andrew]

Whoa, wait, Mormons are right the whole time.

[Lily]

LDS actually stands for. Look, the sk that's quite

[Keith]

so.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Keith]

I don't know, man. It's weird.

[Josh]

I think, I think the government is smart enough to leak information. Kind of like it's like toxic relationship. We're like, I'm going to tell you enough, but I know that I'm not going to give you so much to where you're going to feel the need to keep the bridge open. It's like if I told you everything, you could make your assessment and see where it goes. But it's like if you leak too much of what I've told you, you've lost your contact. So they can only trickle information out. But then it's like this toxic tap that's just drip and misinformation. Yeah.

[Lily]

And it's also like, like, it's kind of like the vibe of like, hey, I can't wait for you to come over tonight because I have something crazy to tell you about Melissa and Xavier. Xavier. And then all day you're like, what could possibly be happening? And you're talking to all your friends like, so if he leaks out this tiny information, then it, it leaves the pastors. It leaves us to just speculate and blow it out proportion. And maybe they're read, they're looking at that and saying, okay, what are people looking at?

[Josh]

And we're playing into it.

[Lily]

Absolutely.

[Keith]

Yeah. It's just weird. I also would urge people, yeah, you should go first.

[Josh]

Go read scripture.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Because that's, that's the number one pause right here.

[Keith]

But a good take on the UFO Stuff is the orthodoxy and the religion of the future. Father Sarah from Rose, Saint Seraphim, very recently canonized.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Lily]

One day we'll be saints.

[Keith]

I mean, that would be. We can. That's the thing. That's what I love about saying these

[Lily]

saints is there's no discrimination.

[Keith]

You can. You can live your life to be. I mean, we're all saints if we're true holy followers of Christ. Right.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Josh]

I aspire for recognition.

[Andrew]

All saints were sinners.

[Keith]

But he has a whole chapter on UFOs and deception. And he goes back in history and back to like early church fathers who wrote about these deceptions that Satan can perform.

[Andrew]

Yeah, it's nothing.

[Keith]

Mainly in the sky.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Lily]

And he wrote this in the 60s, right?

[Keith]

60s or 70s. Yeah.

[Andrew]

And what's interesting about it is that he himself, Saint Seraphim Rose, was very influenced by new age spiritualism in his youth and tried basically every religion, particularly Hinduism and like would travel and see all these deities. And I think, was it him or was it another book were reading where he went and he went to worship at one of the Hindu God spaces and then had a spiritual. Basically just discern that that was evil. Anyway, he. He's warning us in the 60s about this new age spiritualism rising up in our country. And then you're reading it now and you see how these things have come to pass in our nation and how

[Keith]

it's so ingrained into our churches.

[Andrew]

Pentecostalism, all this stuff.

[Josh]

I'm. I'm gonna throw out a counter. Counterpoint just to. Just to mix it up a bit. But if this is a big, like, psyop and you need the church to like, fully buy into this stuff, what a time to make it canon.

[Keith]

What do you mean?

[Josh]

Like you said. You said he was like, sanctified or whatever the word is. So just throwing it out there. It affirms everything he said. Right as they're saying all this weird sky stuff's about to happen.

[Keith]

Yeah, I guess you could look at

[Josh]

it just throwing that out there. As someone who hasn't read Weird timing. Yeah, yeah, timing's weird. Yeah.

[Keith]

Because he died in the 70s and

[Josh]

when all of the weird occult government stuff was also happening.

[Keith]

Also canonized as a saint the same week that these pastors met with this.

[Andrew]

Wow, that's so funny.

[Keith]

That is interesting.

[Lily]

So what do you think the church's reaction should be? Because I saw that Blurry Creatures post and I had no idea the context. I was like, this is like, it seems super random, but now it makes total Sense.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Lily]

About just, like, how churches should be reacting to this. Should pastors be mentioning this on.

[Keith]

Oh, for sure. I mean, I would start talking about deception, like, and just saying, like, what deception has even looked like, just through

[Lily]

scripture and church history.

[Keith]

Church history, especially, Like, I mean, because I was even reading. I'm reading a book. It's St. Anthony. Great. Which I talked about a week or two ago. I'm reading his, like, biography kind of thing. But he, like, has some of his teachings in it. This dude's nuts. Like, he was living in the desert. There's at one point, he was living alone with his door shut in the desert for 20 years straight.

[Lily]

Oh, my God.

[Andrew]

And somebody would bring him bread, like, once a week.

[Keith]

Somebody. No, they're bringing bread twice a year. And enough bread, and he would just eat little morsels of it.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

And these people came, and they're, like, begging to talk to Anthony the Great. And there was. They would hear arguing, like, people fighting. And they're like, what in the world? And they look under the door. No one's in there. And, like, these are demons. He's fighting demons right now. And then he basically yelled out. He's like, why are you guys afraid of demons?

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

So they don't have power over us.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

Is that we worship the living God who has power over. If anything, they have no authority to hurt us unless giving the. Given the authority. Like Job.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Given the authority by God.

[Keith]

Given the authority by God to test us and test our faith. Like, Job, What. It.

[Josh]

It's actually like, if you're under demonic oppression, it's actually an honor.

[Keith]

Yeah. It, like, truly is.

[Josh]

Job was sought out.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Josh]

I remember when we had that experience with the girl who was possessed at that camp. And I remember everyone was scared, and I was like, did she affect any of us, or was the devil trying to shut down what was happening? I was like. Which means there's re. There is a reality to the power that we have access to.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Josh]

So it's like, what do we have to fear?

[Andrew]

So good there.

[Lily]

And have you guys ever seen the movie Big Fish?

[Andrew]

Yeah, of course.

[Lily]

So good. One of the best. I was watching that last night. Demi wanted to watch it, and we were. The whole premise, like, of the movie at the very beginning, he see. He meets this witch that has this eye that, you know, could show him how he dies. Right. And that gives him the courage throughout his whole life, like, to do these miraculous things, because he knows how he dies. He knows he's an old man and that he's like, so it gave him confidence. And I feel like that's the same thing. It's like we're. We're told whether we die on this earth in a horrible or long live a long life, you know, whatever it may be, it's like we know how the story ends. We're gonna. We got it. We gotta do it. And so like, yeah, like, it is an honor to go through trials and tribulations and, you know, be attacked by demons. If that's the case. If you're.

[Josh]

Count it all joy when you meet suffering of various kinds.

[Lily]

Yes.

[Andrew]

My words so good. That's my. My verse of this, this season, you guys.

[Keith]

So that. But there was a chapter in there where he talked about demonic prophecy and he's like, demons, Satan cannot prophesy. They do not know the future. What they are. They're clever and they're very good guessers. And he said, and that's why there's a lot of, like hold these prophecies. Like if the prophecy is false, stone that prophet kind of thing. That was like all throughout scripture, he's like, even he was giving examples. It was crazy. He's like, they'll come be as a person and they'll be like, the river is going to flood. He said they only know that because that demon was further up the river and saw that it was raining, rushed back and they make this prophecy. And so some of these prophecies. Prophecies are true to gain their trust in order to further deceive.

[Lily]

Yeah. For the listeners, calculated predictions instead of prophecies.

[Keith]

Right?

[Josh]

Yeah. For the listeners, only prophecies was in quotes.

[Andrew]

But test everything. Test everything in accordance to what we read in our Bibles and in prayer.

[Josh]

And that's where the pastors need to step up. It's like, you don't have to focus on the aliens, but like, look at scripture and like when letters were written to correct, you know, theological issues, like, look how it was handled in the church.

[Keith]

Yeah. And be like. Instead of quoting like in the days of Noah, so it'll be before my return.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Keith]

Quote like, this is what scripture says about deception.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

You know, like, let's start talking about

[Lily]

that everything needs to lead to the cross.

[Keith]

Because of course, everyone knows that that verse now it'll be like the days of Noah.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

And it's like, let's talk about. Let's prepare everyone to not be deceived. And it's. Don't be so focused on that. If you fully focus on living a life for Christ, blot out the world. The world doesn't matter. Live for the kingdom of God. I guarantee you, you will not be deceived.

[Lily]

Yeah, don't fall for that. Yeah, you will fall for the tricks.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Lily]

It's called discernment.

[Keith]

Yeah, God will give you discernment.

[Lily]

Discern.

[Keith]

Discern. Speaking of discernment, do you hear about that cruise where it has a pandemic that's going to wipe out the entire Earth?

[Lily]

I did not.

[Keith]

[Keith]

If this podcast ever goes under a, please, let's start a lawn service.

[Josh]

Oh, I'm in.

[Lily]

Can I just be the marketing guy?

[Keith]

Sure.

[Lily]

Okay.

[Keith]

You can be the leaf blower guy. Yeah, that's pretty satisfying with a big backpack one.

[Lily]

I want the. I want the standing lawnmower. You see those guys? That's so cool.

[Josh]

Have you seen how much money that lawn services make in those, like, 55 and over, like, trailer park neighborhoods, like the nice ones.

[Keith]

And like, I know they make a lot.

[Josh]

It was like, I think it was like a couple hundred bucks a month is what my grandma was paying for her lawn. But I'm talking it's a strip between and they're all cookie cutter. So literally, you Have a guy edging you, got a guy running the mower through, and you get the whole freaking hoa. And so, like, I did the math. I forget how many it was.

[Keith]

Like, if you can book a neighborhood,

[Josh]

that's because that's how it works. It's through the hoa. So literally, I mean, you're raking in tens of thousand.

[Lily]

Yeah. And that's like job security. Like crazy.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Keith]

But what a tough, tough business to get into. There's so many lawn services out there.

[Lily]

That's what I'm saying.

[Keith]

So what are you going to do to be different?

[Lily]

But our marketing would be crazy fun.

[Keith]

Maybe we do, like, we get, like, super jacked, and we just do the lawn and, like, our Speedos or something.

[Lily]

I figured that was where we were going anyway.

[Keith]

Yeah, we'll call it some. Some like a play on word. Like magic mics.

[Lily]

Like the lawn. The lawn bronze. Lawn bronze.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Lily]

Yeah. Lawn stars.

[Keith]

Lawn stars.

[Josh]

Yeah. Lawn johns.

[Keith]

Long johns.

[Lily]

Long John. Yes, I'm John 1. I'm John 2.

[Josh]

John. John. John.

[Andrew]

Those bow buns.

[Lily]

Bow buns are ridiculous.

[Josh]

Show you what the bow bun show, pal.

[Lily]

Does she. Do they ship?

[Josh]

I don't know.

[Lily]

Sophie's Kitchen.

[Josh]

That's got to be frozen. So I don't know.

[Lily]

I don't know if they do go to. Everyone go to Sophie's Kitchen.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Lily]

Google it. It's the greatest Filipino food I've ever had in my life.

[Josh]

Or if you're at Disney, make a little trip, get you a little something.

[Lily]

I'm not gonna lie. I'm telling you, that ice cream, that Ube ice cream that they gave us, it was phenomenal. The if I could die, if I had to die tomorrow. And they're like, you have one treatment that Ube ice cream, even in that small of a dish, I could eat a whole gallon. But even in that one, I was blown away.

[Josh]

It's another best.

[Andrew]

It's another fun surprise later when you go poop and your poop is purple.

[Josh]

That is fun.

[Lily]

It's a fun surprise. We should have more fun surprises like that in the food industry.

[Andrew]

I agree.

[Lily]

Like, yeah, it's good food, but guess what? You're also gonna have fun taking it home later.

[Andrew]

Yeah, dude, like Superman ice cream. Like, half the fun was your poop later.

[Lily]

Yeah. I've always said that ice cream is poop, by the way.

[Josh]

What if there's, like, pop rocks? But you didn't know, like, they were delayed, so you didn't know when they were gonna pop.

[Lily]

It just pops in the Water.

[Keith]

Speaking of Pop Rocks in your poop.

[Lily]

Questions of fresh on our mind.

[Andrew]

I did not have a question, so I just texted Alan in the bathroom. I said, hurry. I need a question.

[Lily]

Should we call him right now?

[Josh]

Can I have a bite of that for clarity? Who was in the bathroom?

[Andrew]

I texted Alan while I was in the bathroom.

[Josh]

Oh, you were in the bathroom, not Alan.

[Andrew]

Yes, you can have a bite.

[Lily]

Let me call him real quick, see if he answers.

[Andrew]

He will. He just texted me. If he doesn't answer you, then there's a problem.

[Josh]

Yeah, it's a problem. How many of those are so good? They do spam and eggs.

[Lily]

Hola. Hey, babe, you're on the pod.

[Keith]

Alan.

[Lily]

Oh, how's it going, guy? Hey.

[Andrew]

Why does he sound like AI?

[Lily]

First of all, this is AI Chatbot. Alan. Hey, listen, we need a question. This question corner of the Lily. And Lily came unprepared. So we need a question from you.

[Andrew]

He sent me one.

[Lily]

That doesn't matter. It was his. I want to hear him voice his voice. Say it. Lily, what happened?

[Andrew]

He sent me one. I have it right here.

[Lily]

Yeah, but what happened? Why didn't you. Why did you come to the pod unprepared?

[Andrew]

I was researching something else.

[Lily]

Right.

[Andrew]

I was. I promised.

[Lily]

I sent you. Wait, Lily, I sent you two. Which one are you trying to use?

[Andrew]

I want to do the one of the video that you sent because the other one is dumb. We're Christians. We all know how we're going to answer it.

[Lily]

I still want to hear this one after as well. But you give us. You give us the. You give us the good one, Alan. Okay. The one that is in the video that I sent Lily goes like this. Ready?

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Lily]

So there's a magic coin. You have a coin, you can flip it once per day. That's it. What happens is if you flip it and it lands on heads, you get a thousand dollars.

[Andrew]

$10,000 is said.

[Lily]

$10,000. Okay, okay. $10,000. Big money out here. Hail Elana spawns in your house. The only way to get rid of the llamas is to destroy the coin. How many times are you flipping this coin? Oh, man, dude, every day.

[Josh]

I got the. Yeah, you.

[Keith]

Then if. If you get tails and you get

[Lily]

a llama farm, that's instantly swap into a llama farm.

[Josh]

Yeah, statistically half the time. So let's go a month. So you're. 10 grand at 15 days is a lot of money.

[Keith]

It's true.

[Josh]

It's enough to buy some property.

[Keith]

Tails never fails, though. So that's A lot of llamas.

[Lily]

That is a lot of llamas. You're. I'm assuming this llama has never really been in captivity. I would assume it's wild. Okay, so all llamas are wild, right? Yeah, so you got to assume not all. There's going to be some damage to. To your house, your property.

[Keith]

Right.

[Lily]

But 10 grand, easy fixed. Another 10 grand the next day.

[Keith]

Buy a property.

[Lily]

You're buying property at this point.

[Keith]

Get a petting llamazoo.

[Andrew]

You can't sell the llamas, though, because you have to keep them. That's part of the.

[Keith]

Yeah, use them.

[Andrew]

Llama milk.

[Lily]

You can.

[Keith]

You can do what? What? What? Llama fur?

[Lily]

Oh, yeah.

[Andrew]

Oh, my gosh.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Like yarn. We could sell it to. Yarn.

[Josh]

You can't destroy.

[Keith]

This is a win, Alan. This is a win, win situation here, pal.

[Lily]

Wait, wait, wait, hold on. There's ways that you can monetize parts of the llama.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Lily]

Monetize the spit at all. Oh, we. Okay, we know how you slobber and you salivate, dude. We've heard this. I think that's where your mind goes.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Lily]

Yeah. If this goes back to the other. Would you rather where you get, like, it turns to currency? You'd be rolling in the money.

[Andrew]

I'm gonna say flip it forever.

[Lily]

Yeah. For once a day. For the rest of my life.

[Keith]

And then if you get tired of the llamas, if they're just. If it's just too much to handle, then just figure out a way to destroy that coin.

[Lily]

Yeah. And then you have llama meat for years.

[Andrew]

That in itself is going to be very difficult. You'd have to get a really hot fire. Right?

[Keith]

Yeah. Or just go to a volcano and cast it in.

[Andrew]

Can you leave with the coin?

[Keith]

Sure.

[Andrew]

I didn't know if the coin was bound to your home or something.

[Lily]

Of course not.

[Josh]

Does Lily think metal is indestructible?

[Andrew]

Yep.

[Lily]

All right.

[Keith]

I think destroying a coin would be pretty easy.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Lily]

And also depends on, like, what do you mean destroy? Right.

[Andrew]

If it was a wooden coin, it'd be super easy.

[Josh]

Basilisk bang.

[Lily]

All right. Alan, we love you so much. Thank you so much for the question. For sure. Have a good one. Congrats me on being a dad. My dad. Love you. Hey, Alan, can I tell you one more thing? Yeah, okay.

[Andrew]

His voice sounded so. AI. That was so weird. Like, there was a pause.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Lily]

Hello?

[Josh]

My phone is crapping out. Look at this. It won't unlock.

[Keith]

Oh. Oh, there you go.

[Lily]

Stuff. Car going off. Phone breaking.

[Keith]

They're watching you.

[Lily]

Shut up about these pastors.

[Andrew]

They're watching you.

[Lily]

All right, what was the other question?

[Andrew]

Okay. He said it's a popular question. I've never heard it before. He said everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who press the red button survive. Which button would you press? And I'm like, obviously we're Christians. We would all push the blue button. We want everyone to survive. We'd be self sacrificial.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Lily]

We're told the rules before. Or you just like are just. Just buttons spawn in front of you and you're just like, I don't know, I'm gonna push it.

[Andrew]

I think you're told the rules before.

[Keith]

Then everyone would push the blue button.

[Andrew]

Everyone needs to press the blue button. But I guess people who are like, maybe a little narcissistic and fearful would be like, if I press the red button, I'm surviving no matter what.

[Lily]

Is that the majority or minority, you think?

[Andrew]

I would hope it's the minority. Yeah, I think it's a minority.

[Lily]

Yeah, I think so.

[Andrew]

I'm still optimistic about the condition of the world.

[Lily]

I get confused with the rules and accidentally hit the red one.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Lily]

Dang it.

[Andrew]

Ada asked me in the car this morning. She said, do people still live in the jungle? And I was like, yeah, some places. And she's like, where? I was like, oh, boy, I don't know.

[Keith]

The Amazon.

[Andrew]

That's what I told her. The Amazon. And I was like, ada, you live in a very particular part of the world where we're one of the most advanced nations, but the world is very big and people live very differently everywhere.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Speaking of the Amazon, did you see the two marines who were canoeing? No. No, dude, this was crazy. I can't show the clip, but the dude's filming himself and he's like bleeding out his leg and his arm and he's like filming. Apparently they were like exploring a part of the Amazon. And I don't know if it was uncontacted or like minimal, but they claim or it was pirates is what they said. Like Amazon. They called them pirates, but apparently they looked like an easy target. No weapons, they just had paddles. But they're. They're literally two marines from a different. I think it was Europe or some. Somewhere else anyways. And he's like, oh. He's like, I just got shot. He's like, I had to drown one of them. He was like. The rest of them fled, but apparently, like, they got lit up. I was like, how is this clip just chilling on the Internet? You haven't seen this. I need to look into the full story.

[Andrew]

Why was his buddy filming it?

[Josh]

He's filming himself. He's like, I've been shot. He's like, documenting what just happened. We just got attacked. And he was like. But, you know, the story goes like, they just looked like two dudes who didn't belong without weapons, and turns out they're like, elite military.

[Lily]

Oh, that's so funny.

[Josh]

Or whatever.

[Keith]

Dang, that's funny.

[Andrew]

I could do that too.

[Josh]

Wow.

[Andrew]

Did I say funny?

[Josh]

You did.

[Andrew]

I might say that's wild. My brain's not working.

[Lily]

That's so funny.

[Andrew]

I was thinking about these chicks. Did you see the clip of the chicks that were swimming in the Amazon River? All the comments are like, I thought we, as a collective, decided that that was an unswimmable body of water.

[Lily]

I saw one person swimming. They, like, taken, like, an excursion. It was, like, in the Amazon, but it was like one of those. The pink dolphins, the very scary ones, like the river dolphins. And she was just like, nope. And she's just instantly walking out. And then it pans over, and it's like, the scariest dolphin in the world.

[Andrew]

Oh, my gosh.

[Lily]

Like, you think, oh, I'm gonna go swim with the dolphins. It's gonna be so cute. Terrifying.

[Keith]

Hey, hit us with that beat.

[Lily]

Hit us with what beat?

[Keith]

This beat.

[Lily]

Oh. Oh, this beat right here.

[Keith]

Andrew.

[Lily]

Gotta real, Andrew.

[Keith]

Gotta real, Andrew.

[Lily]

Show us right now.

[Keith]

Right now.

[Lily]

Show us, please.

[Andrew]

Good song, guys.

[Josh]

This is.

[Andrew]

Oh, gosh.

[Josh]

This is a hard one. You're gonna. You've seen it?

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Josh]

You. It needs. It needs audio here.

[Keith]

Toss me that cord, Andy. Or you do the cord.

[Andrew]

I don't want to watch this. I don't want to watch this right now.

[Josh]

As someone who just had a filling breakout, this was hard for me.

[Andrew]

You had a filling breakout?

[Josh]

I did.

[Lily]

I had a breakout.

[Josh]

Corner of my tooth cracked off when I had a rock in my rice.

[Andrew]

A rock in your. Why'd you have a rock in your rice?

[Josh]

Didn't wash it good enough, apparently.

[Andrew]

Why are you chewing your rice so

[Josh]

hard

[Andrew]

that you broke a filling when you were chewing your rice? Because you got to be, like, doing this all I'm.

[Josh]

You've never bent down on something and been like, ow.

[Andrew]

Not rice. Rice is a soft food. You're like this with rice.

[Josh]

I eat More. Okay. Why you two racing hard?

[Lily]

All right. Three, two, one.

[Andrew]

Oh, my goodness. Why is he doing that? Oh,

[Lily]

why?

[Josh]

I have no idea what's going on.

[Lily]

What?

[Josh]

Drinking?

[Keith]

Somewhere. There's better ways to do that.

[Lily]

I don't know.

[Andrew]

What, he's trying to get stuff out of the tree.

[Josh]

Sure.

[Andrew]

Or is he sharpening his teeth?

[Keith]

I don't think that. Because at the end he's, like, sucking on the tree.

[Josh]

Blowing.

[Keith]

Blowing. It looks like a sucking.

[Lily]

This is crazy. That is a. Why? Why would he do that? Why would he do that?

[Josh]

I don't know.

[Lily]

That is no fun at all whatsoever when it.

[Josh]

Hear a really fast World War II story.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Cool. During World War II, Germans built a fake wooden airfield. Apparently, they were trying to seem like their operation was bigger than it was. They built hangars, planes, like the whole nine. So from the sky, it looked like, you know, military op. Apparently, the opposition, the raf, which. Anyone know what that is? Raf? Royal Air Force, maybe.

[Keith]

Yes, I think so.

[Josh]

Knew about the secret project for months, let them build it, and then once they finally finished it, they dropped a wooden bomb on it. There's a photo of the bomb. That's awesome. That was like, congrats on all your work.

[Lily]

That's a gift.

[Keith]

They just did. They just did fun stuff back then.

[Lily]

They did. At least war was fun back then.

[Keith]

They. You know what? Sure, there's some bad things, but at least they had some fun.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Lily]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Keith]

Speaking of not having fun, though.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

The cruise.

[Lily]

Oh, yeah, tell me about it. What's going on?

[Keith]

Obviously, by the time this comes out, it'll be a very different story. Hopefully not. There's this cruise that departed from Argentina and it was this. How many passengers were on it? Like 300 or something.

[Andrew]

No, less than that. Like 170.

[Keith]

Okay, 170 passengers. And it was basically like a world exploratory cruise. So they went to, like, islands off of Antarctica, and they're just basically cruising around the world.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

And someone got on that ship that was carrying what is known as the hantavirus.

[Andrew]

Oh, Honda, can I stop you right there? Do we know that they had it when they got on, or did they contract it while on board?

[Keith]

The news I saw is that they found the exact location in Argentina where they contracted it.

[Andrew]

No way.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Wow. Ground zero because of rat poopy.

[Keith]

Hantavirus is a disease from rodents. And from what they're saying, the mortality rate of hantavirus is anywhere between 30 and 50%. 30 and 50% mortality rate.

[Lily]

Not good.

[Andrew]

Nope.

[Lily]

Not good odds. So Hanta for your rest of your life.

[Andrew]

Yeah, that's bubonic plague style stuff.

[Keith]

So they said it's very rare for hantavirus to be shared. Yeah, you can't typically contract it from person to person. It's typically from the rodent.

[Lily]

Okay, so it stops usually with the person.

[Keith]

Yeah, but it didn't.

[Lily]

Okay, so it's a variation on this cruise adapting.

[Keith]

Three people died.

[Lily]

Oh, my gosh.

[Keith]

And so what happened was they basically went to. I believe it was not the Canary Islands. No, they're going to go to the Canary Islands, but they stopped at an island off the coast of Africa because they're like, people are dying. Yeah, people are dying. And people are like, do not come to port. Do not come to port. You guys are infected. And there's one guy that's been posting social media stuff from this cruise.

[Andrew]

One person.

[Keith]

One person. Which is. That's. It's weird.

[Lily]

The guy in the green shirt, right?

[Keith]

Yes, yes, yes. So you saw that?

[Lily]

Yeah, I saw a short video. Look like he's reading the script.

[Andrew]

Jake or something, right? Yeah, it did look like he was reading a script.

[Lily]

Looking off reading and then looking back at the camera. Yeah.

[Keith]

But then it's like. Then he like, was told that he can no longer release information or do interviews. Stuff like that.

[Lily]

Weird.

[Josh]

Which is weird.

[Lily]

Totally. Where is. He's from Argentina.

[Keith]

No, he's from, I don't know, the U.S. i think.

[Lily]

Right.

[Andrew]

His name is Jake.

[Keith]

Yeah, us people in other countries can't be named Jake.

[Andrew]

It's very rare.

[Keith]

I feel like about England, he was like, he was something. He's British or something.

[Andrew]

Your name is William if you're from England.

[Keith]

Anyways. But these people are talking about, like, the news is really building up. But they're also like, don't freak out. Like, yeah, it's very rare for people to contract this. But also, if you get it, you'll die.

[Lily]

Don't freak out.

[Andrew]

You will be dead.

[Keith]

Also. These countries are like, no, you can't port. You can't put the boat here. But then they're like, okay, the Canary Islands, you can go there. And the Canary Islands are like. They said. They said, no.

[Lily]

Yeah. Why us?

[Keith]

I'm sorry, no, you are not allowed to do that. And I think there, they ended up being able to go to Spain, I believe, undocked. And so people that were on it, they.

[Andrew]

No way. Really?

[Keith]

They all flew home. But they first brought the diseased ones. The ones that had the disease that had not died yet. Yeah, I think they brought them to Germany and stuff. And, like. I mean, these dudes are in, like, hazmat.

[Andrew]

Yeah. Good deal.

[Keith]

And it's like, well, if it's not that scary, why are we. Why don't we.

[Andrew]

Well, it's probably, like a new variation. Like what?

[Keith]

Well, that's what they're saying. There's no cure for it.

[Andrew]

Yeah, there's no cure. There's no vaccine. There's no.

[Lily]

So it's a coin flip whether you're going to die or not. There's nothing we can do about it.

[Keith]

Right.

[Andrew]

And it starts. The problem with sending these people all over the world is that it takes, like, 10 days to incubate. So you can have it and not know for, like, 10 days.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Lily]

It's dormant for a while, and then

[Andrew]

it's like a pulmonary thing, and then you start throwing up, and basically your lungs fill with fluid.

[Lily]

So you're drowning to death.

[Andrew]

You're drowning and you go into shock.

[Lily]

Oh, my goodness.

[Andrew]

And then you die.

[Lily]

That's not fun.

[Andrew]

So this is not one that I'm particularly interested in catching.

[Lily]

Of all the viruses, it's reminding me

[Andrew]

a lot of the movie Contagion. You remember that movie with. What's your face, your crush, Kate Winslet.

[Keith]

My crush?

[Andrew]

Mm.

[Lily]

Okay. You got a lot of crushes. You were just telling me about them, dude.

[Josh]

You want to hear about case one and case two, People who passed away?

[Keith]

Sure.

[Josh]

This is on the World Health Organization's website.

[Andrew]

It.

[Josh]

Take it as you will.

[Lily]

Who.

[Josh]

Who? Case one, adult male, developed symptoms of fever and headache, mild diarrhea on April 6th. While on board the ship. April 11th, it developed to respiratory distress, and they died on board the same day. No microbiological tests were performed. The body of the passenger was removed from the vessel to St Helena, which is a British Overseas Territory, on the 24th. This is where it gets interesting. Case two, an adult female who was in close contact with case one, went ashore at St. Helena on April 24 with gast. Intestinal.

[Andrew]

No, no, no.

[Josh]

She subsequently deteriorated during a flight to Johannesburg, South Africa, on 25 April. She later died upon arrival at the emergency department on the 26th on May 4th. The case was subsequently confirmed by PCR with hantavirus infection. Contact tracing for passengers on the flight has been initiated.

[Keith]

It's gone. It's spread, baby.

[Andrew]

Dude, did you ever do that project in, like, the fourth grade where it's cholera in and you have to trace back who had it first or, like, where it came from to stop the spread of disease? Fun. By the way, It's a lot like these murder mystery things where it's like. So you're like, who done it?

[Lily]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Andrew]

Who got everybody sick?

[Lily]

Interesting.

[Andrew]

And it was. The water was poisoned because a rat fell in the water.

[Lily]

Oh, gross.

[Andrew]

Took us, like, two weeks to get through this thing.

[Keith]

Here's a. Here's a fun thing.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

Talking about demons prophesying.

[Andrew]

Wait, but go back.

[Keith]

No, this is still in the. Could you just.

[Andrew]

I'm. I'm listening.

[Keith]

Just listen. There's someone on X that goes by Soothsayer. Their handle is I am a soothsayer.

[Andrew]

Okay.

[Keith]

They have four posts on their X account.

[Andrew]

Golly.

[Keith]

Their third post on X account was. They're all posted within seven days in 2022. But it's third post posted June 11, 2022. All he said was 2023, corona ended. 2026, hantavirus.

[Andrew]

Shut up right now. When did he post that again?

[Keith]

2022.

[Andrew]

Oh, no.

[Keith]

So that's weird.

[Lily]

That is very strange. I'm looking up on Google Trends to see whenever Montavirus started trending. That's weird.

[Josh]

Weird, Yeah. I hate that. Rats and ticks, dude.

[Keith]

Rats and ticks. But there's this one lady that Lily and I saw on TikTok, and she's under the impression that this is all a manufactured, scripted, new coronavirus thing with the way that they're setting up the platform.

[Lily]

Okay.

[Andrew]

Yeah, she's the same one that connected the ICE detention centers with experimental.

[Keith]

Oh, okay.

[Josh]

Really?

[Andrew]

She's very articulate. She's a really good researcher, by the way. She should be. I mean, like, I think she's making a killing on her platforms, but, like, she should go into, like, law enforcement or something.

[Keith]

So.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Keith]

What are we going to do then?

[Lily]

We'll come up with a cure.

[Keith]

All right.

[Lily]

You think AI. I mean, I'm curious to know what AI is doing in the medical field. Yeah, like, you think we could be solving a ton.

[Keith]

They probably already figured it out. But then you got big Pharma, and they're like, no, you can't. You can't post that stuff yet.

[Lily]

That's what makes you wonder.

[Andrew]

I want you guys to know that I was at, like, the first half of the show, really at peace. This. That was good. I'm now full panicked.

[Lily]

It's a deception, though. Your panic is a deception.

[Andrew]

I'm not scared for me. I'm scared for my girls.

[Lily]

You're raising warriors.

[Andrew]

Janie has weak lungs. This is a lung disease.

[Keith]

Yep.

[Lily]

You're raising warriors, but Janie is a Strong spirit.

[Andrew]

I don't want her to hear this and think that. I think she has weak lungs. She does have weak lungs.

[Lily]

She's gonna listen to this 20 years from now. Thought I would. Weak lungs.

[Keith]

Heck, mom.

[Lily]

She becomes an ultra marathoner just to prove you wrong.

[Keith]

So are they setting the stage for another outbreak?

[Lily]

I don't think so.

[Keith]

That is a little. I mean, why wouldn't they, though? Like, why wouldn't they, like. Because Covid was just like. Mortality rate was very small.

[Andrew]

I will say. You know that right now the scientists are doing. With all the news lines going out. They're figuring out this antivirus cure.

[Keith]

Sure. But is it going to be a. Is it going to be like another forced vaccination?

[Andrew]

I might take this one.

[Josh]

Dude, we all got to get. We all got to get blow dart guns. Because if there's a rat infestation. Could be fun.

[Lily]

We'll get really good at slingshots. Yeah, I don't know where my slingshot went.

[Keith]

Went?

[Lily]

You gave me a slingshot. I don't know where it went.

[Andrew]

Dang.

[Lily]

Can't find it. I really want to get good at it now. It makes you wonder like, if, you know, like. Think of like the ufo, like the fake alien attack and stuff like that. It's like they released some type of virus out there.

[Keith]

Yeah, this haunted virus. It's not haunted virus. It's from another. It's from an asteroid. And the aliens are coming for the. To give us secure.

[Lily]

Yep.

[Keith]

So take this injection.

[Andrew]

All right.

[Keith]

Who is it? Lily.

[Lily]

No.

[Andrew]

I don't want to catch this, Lil.

[Keith]

It's. It's not real.

[Andrew]

There are a few things that I would. I would inoculate against. I got you Ebola. This.

[Josh]

I got you Josh.

[Lily]

But they got to be tested.

[Josh]

Have you? Who wasn't tested just filed a patent with the use of frequency. 5G. Is the argument where they can actually biologically activate cells? I forget the owner of this patent. Patent? Oh, I looked into it. I just can't remember who it is. I can insert it later. I'll just put it up on the screen. So basically what happens is these cells are carriers. And they figured out that you can use frequency to shed the exterior layer. So if you had something injected into you, they could activate it biologically, change your structure or something within your system by use of frequency. So you could be a carrier of this unknown thing. Thing. It is a protein. It's. I looked it up. It's not the same Spike protein that we had a few years ago. I'm trying to avoid buzzwords, but.

[Keith]

Hantavirus.

[Josh]

No, no, no, no.

[Keith]

I know, but the.

[Josh]

No, no, the other one that like, shut everything down.

[Keith]

Yeah, I know, but I'm. You're saying the. The hantavirus has a protein or whatever.

[Josh]

I'm not talking about hantavirus at all. I'm just saying that the frequency with an injectable biological thing. So whatever. Whether it's, you know, the. What's the tick one.

[Keith]

One.

[Josh]

Whether it's ticks or. Yeah. Or. No, the other one. The one that does meat. Oh, yeah, whatever.

[Andrew]

It's a weird name.

[Josh]

Whatever. Alpha Gal.

[Andrew]

Yeah, Alpha Gal.

[Josh]

Whatever they're staging because it's just easy to hate on that. But whatever they're staging, they now have the tech to where they can put something in you. Where the frequency sheds the outer layer and so literally dormant carriers can exist in your system. The patent has just been filed.

[Keith]

Filed.

[Josh]

And so that patent got filed and then this is. This is like such a trust me bro segment because I'm really forgetting everything. But then they did. There's a. They. They released more patent information on AirPods and what they're able to do with them. Like, they actually map, like, electrodes. This, like, literally, it's better than having your brain hooked up with all the things with all the sensors. The fact that they like the. The amount of intel that they take in. But a patent just got filed with them too, so they're literally tracking all your biometrics just by wearing airplanes. AirPods now.

[Keith]

Creepy.

[Josh]

That patent got filed.

[Andrew]

AirPods are bad.

[Lily]

Apparently, like, wired headphones are like, on the rise for the first time in like 10 years.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Did you see wired headphones?

[Keith]

I saw that segment and they're like, oh. Because they're just. Everyone wants to be nostalgic. I said no. Probably because people are like, I don't want to stuff a radioactive Bluetooth thing in my brain.

[Andrew]

Yeah, yeah, dude, I said the other day. Or it's always been said that the guy that invented Bluetooth doesn't even use Bluetooth headphones. And. And all these comments are like, that's false. That's not true. Bluetooth doesn't do anything to you. It's like, what do you think it's doing, though? It's literally stuff passing through your noggin, dude. Your dome.

[Lily]

Yeah. It can't be good for you.

[Andrew]

No.

[Lily]

Whether it's, you know, like, it's gotta have some type of negative effect. It has to be.

[Andrew]

Speaking of stuff that's not good for you, I have been Feeding my children organic strawberries since they were infants. Driscoll organic strawberries. Yeah, because in the off season, that's the only people that's making them. 12 different types of pesticides. It's literally that area.

[Keith]

Driscoll Farm in California.

[Andrew]

In California, it has a 35 increased rate of childhood cancer.

[Josh]

Holy crap.

[Andrew]

Driscoll strawberries Organic.

[Lily]

There's no such thing as organic in America. There's no such thing as organic in America.

[Andrew]

There's no such thing.

[Lily]

Like, even if, like, it might be a little bit more organic, like, you know, like, you can grow in your backyard, but still, then you're talking about all the fertilizer, the stuff that's in the ground.

[Andrew]

Exactly.

[Lily]

You talk about, like, you know, the cows and what they're eating, whatever. It's like, you can get a little more organic, but there's no such thing as organic, dude.

[Andrew]

Like, even if you grow it at home, like, what you're saying it's all been treated with garbage?

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Josh]

And even the corn in my corn feeders, the meat's not completely perfect.

[Andrew]

I'm in a tizzy, you guys.

[Lily]

It's. Yeah, it's nuts. We say it's wild.

[Andrew]

Like, literally, Jesus, come back right now.

[Josh]

But then we also. We also get so worried about all that stuff. And then, like, my. My mom's dad, like, ate a bologna sandwich on Wonder White Bread with a Pepsi and a bag of Lays for lunch every day of his freaking life and lived over 80.

[Andrew]

Yeah. That's crazy. That's like, my grandfather. Yeah. My. My aunt says that my grandfather Voldemort came to get him, that he just evaporated.

[Lily]

But that's the thing. It's, like, it doesn't matter. Like, I don't think longevity in life is the goal. It's just like. Like, we don't want to be poisoned.

[Andrew]

No. Yeah.

[Lily]

Or like, sick or given junk that we don't want to eat. Don't lie to us.

[Andrew]

Yeah. If I'm paying for organic strawberries, I don't want it to have garbage on it. And it's just impossible to trust anything. I do think that it's better if you grow your own stuff, because at least it's not getting sprayed with garbage.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

And so that's what we'll be doing.

[Josh]

There has to be such a crazy cultural shift, though. There's a. It's Dave something or other bread. It's like the better bread in the grocery store. And then Target's close to our house. We go to Target all the time. But Then they got organic bananas and regular bananas. And every time we buy the Dave's bread, I'm like, looking at like the expiration date. I'm like, it expires in like three days. Like, I gotta eat this whole loaf in three days. And then the bananas too.

[Andrew]

It's like, now you freeze the kind of bread.

[Keith]

Also, when did milk expiration become like two months out?

[Andrew]

Our organic milk.

[Lily]

It does seem like it's getting longer, right?

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Lily]

I've also have never had rotten eggs.

[Andrew]

Oh, good. I literally was just talking to Ada about a rotten egg we opened in your house.

[Lily]

I've never had that. Maybe we just go through them too fast.

[Keith]

I know when it's rotten.

[Lily]

That's crazy.

[Andrew]

The yolk was black.

[Lily]

Oh, no, I've never. Yeah, that's the thing. I. Even as a kid, I was like, I've never, like, I don't think I should try. I've never thought of like, oh, these eggs are expired. So, like, I've never had a bad egg.

[Andrew]

No, it's usually what would. What would happen how we got a rotten egg is that we had chickens or it was your mom's chickens. And if it sits out in the coop for too long, you don't collect it in.

[Keith]

Oh, also, if you wash the egg and put it on your counter.

[Lily]

Yeah, but.

[Keith]

And yeah, they'll make it go rotten.

[Andrew]

If you wash the bloom.

[Lily]

Just gotta keep them fresh.

[Keith]

You gotta keep them fresh. And then when you're ready to cook it, then you wash the egg off.

[Lily]

Yeah. Interesting. You wash it.

[Andrew]

A protective blue.

[Josh]

You wash it before cooking.

[Andrew]

Yeah. If it came straight out of a chicken.

[Keith]

From a chicken.

[Lily]

Cracking it on your skillet. You got all that stuff on the

[Josh]

outside on the skillet. I just carefully crack it and open it.

[Keith]

You can get a little chicken poop. Flake.

[Josh]

Flake in it on the side on your counter.

[Andrew]

Yeah, I do that too.

[Josh]

Nothing falls out.

[Lily]

Well, that's what I'm saying. But you wash it. If you're saying you don't wash it and then you're cracking.

[Andrew]

It's only if you keep chickens. If you buy.

[Josh]

My neighbor has. My neighbor keeps chickens. I get fresh, fresh, fresh eggs.

[Lily]

Also people that. People that wash their chicken.

[Keith]

Yeah. What the Crazy dude.

[Josh]

Apparently.

[Keith]

Oh, yeah, I saw that.

[Lily]

It's a huge thing. Thousands upon thousands of people and it's like you're not doing anything.

[Andrew]

You're actually making it worse.

[Lily]

Yes.

[Keith]

It doesn't invite more bacteria.

[Lily]

Bring anything into your sink. Yeah, absolutely. It's. I know there's Gonna be people like, I wash my. It's gross.

[Andrew]

Don't wash it.

[Lily]

It's like, oh, yeah, chicken slime is gross. But I don't. I'm cooking it.

[Keith]

Yeah, you're not.

[Lily]

I'm cooking it. It's not a toy for my children. It's crazy.

[Keith]

Speaking of toy for children, can you tell us about these dolphins?

[Josh]

Dude, let me tell you about some dolphins.

[Lily]

Kamikaze dolphins.

[Andrew]

Pardon?

[Lily]

Yeah, that's what I said. So there was like a White House meeting or something. Pete Hegseth was talking, and one of the reporters like, hey, can you tell us a little bit more about these kamikaze dolphins? And I said, pause. What are we talking about here? This is crazy. And so this isn't a new idea either. This is gone back to Vietnam times. Right now, Currently there are 85 bottlenose dolphins that are being employed by the US Navy Mammal Like Program.

[Keith]

Is this confirmed?

[Lily]

110% and like 50 sea lions. Okay. It's crazy. The rabbit hole with this is absolutely wild. So they first started using that we know of, confirmed in Vietnam, back in the day. They would, no joke, use these dolphins, train them using their echolocation. They would strap sonar devices to them to go and find certain mines within lakes, rivers, oceans, all this stuff. And so they would find these mines. And then they later trained these dolphins once they located them, because it would be murky, dirty water that you couldn't go down there and see anything. Those dolphins would go down there, come back up. After confirming where these mines are, they would strap these little tiny explosive devices for the dolphins to place. It's like B7S, I think what they're called. Place them on their nose with a little tube and everything. They'd go down there, they'd place them gently next to the mines.

[Andrew]

Oh, my gosh.

[Lily]

And then 10, 15 hours later, kaboom. And they're gone. The dolphins are fine, right? They're good.

[Josh]

I thought you were about to say.

[Lily]

No, no, the dolphins are fine. And you know, in Vietnam, and they even use these in Iraq and everything, they would literally go through and use their echolocation to find. To put bombs on the holes of ships, place them there. And it's incredible, and it's super, super wild. But now they're talking about kamikaze dolphins where you literally strap a larger explosion to a dolphin. And the Soviet Russians have done this. They. They put literally bombs on these dolphins and they run them into either mines or to ships, and that's what makes them explode.

[Keith]

Terrible.

[Lily]

And the dolphins Die. It's awful.

[Andrew]

What does PETA have to say about this?

[Lily]

I mean, they can't do nothing.

[Keith]

What does PETA Hegseth have to say about it?

[Andrew]

Oh, Peter Hegseth, he says, when you can you give me more animals?

[Keith]

No, but that's the clip I saw where he was being questioned about the reporters. Like, can you tell us about these Comic Con dolphins? And he's like, I can neither confirm nor deny these kamikaze dolphins.

[Andrew]

And they're not real, but he just loves that hot take.

[Lily]

Yeah, he said like, I think he said like they have them, but we can't like confirm it in either way we have them, you know, anything like that. But they literally train these things for years. And it's like, it's just like basically a bomb dog, a squat, like a SWAT dog. Like, but it's for mammals, right? And now this opens the whole theory because you always talk about dolphins. Everyone, someone's going to comment. This is why it's illegal to talk to dolphins. And I looked it up. There is very loose language. It is a federal offense to interact with a dolphin in any way with like without beyond the confines of like, you know, like, you know, what's a dolphin show? Yeah, like that. Or like, you know, you're swimming with dolphins, whatever. And this pinpoints back to this right here where they're training dolphins and you don't know which dolphins they're training and when. Dolphins, yes, they are very smart, they're very intelligent, their brains are like double the size of ours. But they get very easily distracted. They're like a six year old kid. Like, you tell them to do something, they're gonna do it. But then something shinier, brighter has over here. It's like, I'm gonna go that way. And so you don't interact. Or this little kid that's surfing, you know, like whatever it may be. And so that is literally it's a federal offense to interact and they even communicate, they say. And that's. There's been people that get in trouble. That's like the loose language. They don't say communicate, but people have gotten in trouble with like being on the side of a boat and like. And no, just not even touching the dolphin, but like interacting and talking with it. Yes.

[Keith]

They've got trouble.

[Lily]

People have gotten in trouble. If you let me look up, it's like the. I got the certain act. I got it here. Screenshotted the marine. Ma', am, stop talking to that dolphin right now.

[Andrew]

Put your hands up.

[Josh]

What'd you say?

[Lily]

To that dolphin interrogation, the Marine Mammal Protection act. And unknown. Knowingly harassing, hunting, capturing or killing. So obviously the hunting, capturing, killing. That's obvious. Yeah, but the harassing, that's where the loose language comes in. And like, you know, they can get you for literally anything. And so I think that's what a lot of people are saying is that when they're training these dolphins, they're not labeling which dolphin they're training or stuff like that. They've got trackers, whatever, but it's like if you as a human come up with a dolphin that they're interacting with, it's like that can compromise a lot of what they've got going on.

[Andrew]

Wow.

[Lily]

So crazy.

[Andrew]

That is so interesting because you.

[Lily]

Absolutely.

[Andrew]

They would keep them like a, like kind of like a government sea world where they would put them in a big thing and train them there, but

[Keith]

they're keeping them wild in the open ocean. Yeah, observing.

[Josh]

What if all of the orca attacks were training's gone wrong. We tried to upgrade to orca.

[Andrew]

Oh my God.

[Keith]

Interesting.

[Lily]

That'd be terrible.

[Andrew]

Taking the livers out of people. My God.

[Keith]

I like the way your brain works, Andrew. That's a good theory.

[Lily]

Yeah, but that's the thing you like they have, have pods that they show, like in Soviet Russia, like they would have pods where they would keep these dolphins. And there, there's even US Navy guys who have came out and talked about it when they're training and they, no joke, they do their best. It's like hide and seek training. So the guys will dive down and they attach these glow sticks basically to this dolphin. You go down and you hide from this dolphin and you. The longer the better. And so this, they get, the guys go down there, they're hiding and then suddenly, oh my gosh, this thing just zooms by this light and you're like, I think we got him. And then suddenly he zooms right back. You're like, oh, I don't think he can see us. And then suddenly this guy comes up, dolphin flies at him, hitting him in the nose. Two weeks, two black eyes.

[Josh]

Oh, they're so smart.

[Lily]

They're so smart and they can see everything. I mean they're incredibly fast, they're incredibly intelligent. And it's like, of course we would use them for weapons. As a bad guy you're like, yes, it's like frickin sharks with laser beams. Right?

[Andrew]

Like it's, yeah, like, like freaking sharks with laser beams attached to their freaking head.

[Lily]

We've got dolphins with bombs on their Noses. It's the craziest thing.

[Andrew]

That's from Austin Powers, by the way.

[Keith]

Yeah, they actually said that at that White House briefing.

[Lily]

They quoted it. He's like. But that was also probably to downplay it a little bit.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Lily]

But I also think kamikaze dolphin is a great T shirt, by the way.

[Josh]

Oh, great T shirt.

[Lily]

Yeah, with letters, like the Japanese letter Kamikaze dolphin.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Keith]

Holding, like, dolphins.

[Lily]

That's our dolphin or aliens shirt.

[Keith]

Okay.

[Josh]

Oh, dude, you're cooking. You're cooking.

[Andrew]

My kagamikaze dolphin is better than. My kamikaze dolphin is better than your toy poodle or something like that. Like a pet thing. Anywho, this segment, what you have just brought to light, if I can encourage our viewers.

[Keith]

Wait, wait, wait. Let me just say this real quick, because this is a great idea for a T shirt. Instead of the don't tread on me, it's the dolphin says, don't talk to me.

[Andrew]

Good.

[Lily]

Yes, that's good.

[Andrew]

No, it's ruined.

[Lily]

No, don't you dare.

[Josh]

I had to say that.

[Keith]

Otherwise I would forget.

[Lily]

Imagine if he did that every time

[Andrew]

I was going to say I would forget it.

[Lily]

Imagine. Imagine if you.

[Josh]

He.

[Lily]

He did that to you. Every time you interrupted him, he just said, you know what? I don't want to talk anymore. All right, Finish your thought.

[Andrew]

What I was going to say is, if you can imagine it, it's happening. That's what's going on.

[Lily]

Yeah. Anything is possible at this point. Are dolphins being used as. As, like, you know, like weapons? Yeah, they are. Of course they are.

[Andrew]

Imagine looking at the world that way. If you go out, you go out and you're on a cruise with your family, and you're like, that could be a weapon. That could be a weapon. Instead of, like, appreciating the world. That's sad.

[Josh]

I'd be a wealthy man, like, looking.

[Lily]

Looking at an atom bomb, saying, I bet penguins made this.

[Josh]

You know, dude, dolphins have a documented, like, dark sense of humor, though. Like, my buddy was diving under the Destin Bridge, just, like, checking out fish, and this dolphin kept on appearing directly behind him. Like, he'd turn around slowly and it would. And it wasn't, like, hovering like a fish. It'd be vertical, like. Like this. Like, it'd, like, freak him out, and then it would dart off, but it kept doing it to him. It, like, sent him out of the water.

[Keith]

Dolphins a little bit.

[Josh]

Dude, I've been surfing, and I'm like, I can't tell what that is. And it turned. Not chasing fish and it did it to me. I mean, the fastest I've ever seen something move in the water and gut. Like I'm about to get impaled and then just at the last second veered off. And I was like, what a weird thing to happen. Freaked me out. And then I saw it happen to other people in the water.

[Lily]

Just playing with people.

[Josh]

Yeah, Just like, this is fun. People are freaking out.

[Andrew]

Did you see that video of the guys? What's that? You're on a surfboard and it goes up like this.

[Keith]

Like the hydro or the.

[Lily]

It's like the epitome.

[Keith]

Was it fake?

[Lily]

It's real.

[Josh]

No, it's real.

[Lily]

It's real.

[Keith]

No, no, the. The footage with the shark chasing him.

[Josh]

Oh, I don't know. I've seen that. Foil boarding is what it's called.

[Andrew]

I knew it had something to do with foil.

[Lily]

It's real. It's real surfing. Like, it's the next step. Like, I mean, if you can't actually surf. Yeah, I mean, like, if you, if you like, if you can surf, that's the next level. And if you can't do that, then

[Keith]

you just stick to foil boarding is like, that's, that's the next generation of true surfers.

[Andrew]

This shark. This shark. Maybe a great white, white, maybe a bull shark.

[Keith]

For sure.

[Josh]

Great white. It was tiger or white, I don't remember.

[Keith]

It was ginormous. It was chasing the dude and the

[Josh]

guy in the clip. Yeah, yeah.

[Keith]

It's going right beside him and he's like, don't fall off.

[Josh]

And then he sits and stops the other guy. See that?

[Keith]

But the guy, he like stumbled for a second, but this shark is going like, just chasing him.

[Andrew]

The biggest shark in the world.

[Keith]

Huge.

[Josh]

I will, I will say those dudes, I like the use of foiling for that. So they're island hopping and they're trying to ride like the wind blown bone swells. It's kind of like a, like a means of transportation.

[Keith]

Foil boys.

[Josh]

Dude, when you're. Have you seen like injuries, people trying to do it and those things come out of the water, slash. Yeah, dude, I've literally, I was surfing. I was at Sun Glow over like on the way down to Ponce Inlet, Crappy Joe's. And this dude is like doing his thing and I'm like, that's cool. And so, you know, you bob a wave kind of. You can't see him because the next wave comes up and then he comes up and I'm like, the dude's 20ft feet in front of me, pumping Looking like a goof and literally just loses it. Flips upside down board kind of like. I mean, you're looking at the blade out the water 20ft away. And I'm like, what? What on earth are you doing? Like, how is this okay to be this close to me cut someone's head off?

[Lily]

I'm watching the video right now. That is so scary because they're like nuts. They're not near lamp.

[Keith]

Yeah, send that to the group so as you can post it on the. Oh my.

[Lily]

What?

[Keith]

We're talking about goodness.

[Lily]

Dude. That's so scary.

[Keith]

Do you guys want a story about speaking of hantavirus and strawberries that give you cancer?

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

This is a story from my brother.

[Lily]

Oh, hi, Taylor.

[Keith]

Taylor gave me this story. Very fun story. Very crazy story about Roman soldiers that were defeated by. Honey.

[Andrew]

Oh, okay.

[Lily]

All right.

[Keith]

Very fun. Excuse me, I'm going to mispronounce everything in this story.

[Andrew]

Is it in Italian?

[Keith]

No, it's this. So Rome. It was happening during the Mithradatic War. The Mithridatic war. So Rome was fighting Mithridates the six.

[Josh]

That was pretty good. Actually.

[Keith]

I don't know what he is.

[Andrew]

What time period is this?

[Keith]

Mithridates? Whenever the Romans were around. I don't know.

[Andrew]

They're still around today.

[Keith]

It was in the. I think the BC era. But Mithridates, he was this king that was like the thorn in Rome's side. And I. Let me look. Can you look up Andrew, where he's from? Mithridates. Yeah.

[Josh]

That's easy spelling.

[Keith]

M I T H R I D A T E S. That actually was the sixth, right? The sixth. But what was it?

[Josh]

Kingdom of Pontius. Pontius.

[Keith]

What is that?

[Josh]

Northern Anatolia.

[Keith]

What is that today?

[Josh]

Turkey. Okay, maybe.

[Keith]

Oh yeah. If it is, it is Turkey. Yeah.

[Andrew]

Did Turkey look like the faux shiz?

[Keith]

Yeah, Turkey was wild back in the day.

[Lily]

It still is crazy.

[Keith]

So these Romans were fighting Mithradates and this king. So some backstory on this king. His father was a king. His father was killed by being poisoned. So Mithridates was the next in line and was constantly trying to be assassinated by people in the kingdom and even his own mother. Primarily by poisoning. So he was so crazy about being poisoning that he decided to take upon himself to micro dose poisoning.

[Andrew]

Genius. We should start doing that.

[Keith]

And built an intolerable. Like he built a tolerance or. Yeah, tolerance to poisons.

[Lily]

Whoa.

[Keith]

But in this he just became like the one of the first chemists like of the world.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Keith]

And. But what he did was there is a Roman A group of Roman soldiers, about a thousand of them, that were making their way towards Mithridates and his kingdom in these villages. And so what Mithridates did was he had these villagers take what is called mad honey and place it along the road. These mad honeycombs along the road. And when you consume it, it's not an instant thing, but when you consume it, it. It contains gray. Sorry, Graya. Non toxin. Gray and nontoxin. But what this does, it creates dizziness, vomiting, slow heart rate and hallucinations.

[Andrew]

Oh my gosh.

[Lily]

What a wild way to go.

[Andrew]

Like. Like the wasp thing from Vice.

[Keith]

The bee thing.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Keith]

Because wasps don't produce honey.

[Andrew]

Whatever, Josh. You know what I'm talking about.

[Lily]

Wasps.

[Keith]

Yeah. I don't know if it's that. I. I think, think it could possibly be that where he made their. They made their own honey. Like they had it. The bees, like pollinate with certain plants and whatnot to make this mad honey. Anyways, they set it out on the road, these. And so they then like retreat. And so the Roman soldiers, like these guys were. They're afraid of us. And I go, look at honey. Let's eat it. So all these Roman soldiers ate it. They were tripping out of their minds, throwing up, dizzy. They came back, killed all the Romans.

[Lily]

Holy moly.

[Andrew]

Good thinking.

[Lily]

I mean, that's good. They're defenseless at that point.

[Keith]

Yeah. So, yeah, they massacred a thousand Roman soldiers in that battle just by mad honey. But what's crazy, this is the first known recorded chemical or biological warfare. So like, that's pretty.

[Josh]

Yeah, crazy.

[Keith]

But mithridates he. Oh, 134bc me. So that's when he was backing up great. He was overtaken by Rome finally. And he's like, I don't want to be taken that by them. I'm going to myself. So what he tries to do is poison himself.

[Andrew]

Oh, my man. He's been microdosing this whole day.

[Keith]

Get rid of himself by poisoning.

[Lily]

Oh, yeah.

[Keith]

He tries, tries, tries. Nothing is affecting him.

[Andrew]

Yeah, he's like, I'm just too good.

[Lily]

Yeah, I was too good.

[Andrew]

Dang it.

[Keith]

So he has his bodyguard guard.

[Lily]

Oh my goodness.

[Keith]

And that is.

[Lily]

Wow.

[Keith]

The story of Mithridates Mad honey.

[Josh]

It causes double vision. Muscular, like, like you lose control of everything. There's like other neurological stuff and like low blood pressure. So you're literally just like, can't control yourself and see in two. And you're just like trying to defend wall, you know, off your rocker.

[Lily]

There's no such thing as free Honey.

[Josh]

But it's. Apparently it's a honey off of a certain plant.

[Lily]

That's crazy.

[Keith]

Oh, this is fun. In fact, I forgot to leave out. He developed a complex antidote called mithradatium.

[Andrew]

Cool.

[Keith]

Said to contain dozens of ingredients. Herbs, resins, maybe even. Even some snake venom. Later adapted by the Romans into the therotic. How do you say that? Theriac. Theriac. Use for centuries. So, like, as an anti venom.

[Lily]

Okay.

[Keith]

Like for centuries they used his potion.

[Lily]

Wow.

[Josh]

So, like, that's great.

[Keith]

If you get poison, you take this stuff.

[Lily]

Wow. Yeah. Anti venom, dude.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Lily]

I guess you start microdosing huntavirus.

[Keith]

That's what I'm saying. Just start kissing some rats.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Josh]

I've been killing rats in my garage. So bring them in.

[Lily]

What are you saying? Low?

[Andrew]

I was thinking about. Because we're talking about antivenom. I have a very overactive imagination about terrible things that can happen. Maybe it's unresolved postpartum anxiety.

[Lily]

Good. Self awareness.

[Andrew]

Thank you. I'm so scared that my children are going to be bit by a water moccasin at our lake and that our local hospital won't have a moccasin antivenom. I've been thinking about calling them and asking them to stalk.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Antivenom for moccasins. In the event, maybe we could stock it and I can become a chemist and figure out what kind of dosage they need for antivenom.

[Lily]

I think they're gonna have a lot of questions. They're like, are you planning on poisoning a bunch of kids or something?

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

And I only think about that because of that gentleman. This is so sad. But. And. And friends with Kyle Gray, who passed away because he got malaria and came to America and they couldn't figure out what's going on with them. And by the time they figured out that it was malaria, it was too late because none of the hospitals stock a cure for malaria even though there is a cure. The closest one was in, like, Tennessee. And I'm like, malaria is a huge threat to the world population. Why doesn't every hospital have a malaria

[Lily]

cure that's actually malaria? Button.

[Josh]

Like, I promise you, central Florida has moccasin animals for sure.

[Keith]

And if not, they'd airlift you to, like, Orlando, where they for sure.

[Andrew]

Is it gonna be fast enough? I don't know.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Promise you.

[Keith]

Yeah. It's not. It's not like a kind of thing. It's like your leg starts swelling.

[Josh]

You got time.

[Andrew]

Okay.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Like, dudes get, like, bit hunting way out in the woods and have time to keep their heart rate low and get back.

[Andrew]

I'm an extremely paranoid person.

[Josh]

No.

[Keith]

No, she's not.

[Lily]

I don't think so.

[Josh]

Speaking of being extremely paranoid, I want to connect your story of the lechi to native Alaskan culture across the Bering Strait. Because they have something that's almost identical,

[Keith]

that's pretty close to Russia.

[Josh]

That's what I'm saying. And isn't it weird in a completely different time, across the sea, they have the same stories of very similar cryptid. So, yeah, I'm gonna just tell the story. I'll give you the name later. There's a fisherman near Sitka. He's native, and he's checking his crab pots. He's. He's going along the shoreline, and he said, there's, like, a fog that rolled in. Now, this is part of their oral tradition, so there's no name to this man. You know, take it or leave it. But this is. This is how the story they tell goes. And so the fog rolls in. He's working. He hears what sounded like a child crying from the tree line. And so he quits with his crabbing. He docks his boat on the shore. It didn't make sense. There was no houses, no camps. He's out in the wilderness, like, far away from everything. He ignored it at first. He's like, maybe it's like a weird bird or something that's, like, just messing with my head. And I heard it weird. But it gets louder and louder, and it seemed like it was being carried in on the fog. He was like, all right, this is weird. So he hears it. This time it's clear. And then instead of just a baby crying, he begins to hear a kid's voice, and he's like. And then he starts to distinguish language in the. In the sound. He's like, it's a kid calling for help. So he walks a little closer on the shore to the wood line. He's trying to see into the trees, like, you know, cautiously. But he's like, what's. What's over here? And the crying stops as he approaches the trees. And instead of the kid's voice calling for help, the voice changes a little. And he heard his brother's voice, clear as day, calling his name, asking him to come in deeper.

[Lily]

Oh, my goodness. And he's, like. Lives near his brother. Like, he's. They. They're. They hunt together or what?

[Josh]

Doesn't make sense. Doesn't make sense. So that's when he said it hit him. He's like, it's. He said it wasn't like fear, but just like an uncanny feeling, basically, is how he describ. Described it, or how they tell it more like something was. Something didn't belong. He later described as realizing he was being. He says he was being pulled into the forest. Like, not physically, but there was this emotional thing that was happening.

[Keith]

It was hypnotized where it was like.

[Josh]

It was like, I'm gonna play on every human emotion you have to make you feel like it's your responsibility to come deeper into the woods. Like, that's how it played. So it starts as a baby. I need to protect this baby. And then it's a kid. Help. Help. I can help a kid.

[Keith]

Kid.

[Josh]

And now it's like, okay, he's not coming in. Let's go personal. Like, I'm gonna use the voice of his brother. And then it pulls him deeper in. And so right as soon as he, like, it all kind of clicks to him before he steps in the woods. He's like, I remember the stories of my ancestors, and it's called the Kushtaka. And instead of going toward the voice, turned around, got back in his boat, hauled off. And as soon as he pushed off, he said he saw movement on the shoreline. Low, dark shapes moving away that weren't quite human or quite animal. There wasn't a clear face, wasn't a clear form. It was just something watching. But as soon as he pushed off from the shore, the voices stopped. So the entire time they were calling, calling, calling, and then getting louder and starting to stir. And as soon as he pushed away, they gave up. And so there's this legend of a creature that's half, like, otter, half human, and can become either fully otter or fully human or a mix of the two. But it's. It kind of does the same emotional thing. It kind of protects the forest in the same sort of way. I just think it's really crazy that they have the same stories of the same tools to lure people deeper into the forest in Alaska with their native people as they do in Russia with the lechi. It's absolutely insane. And I'm trying to remember the name of the creature. They put them on totems. I don't know how to say this. These stories come from the Tlingit T L I N G I T people, and other southeastern Alaskan groups.

[Andrew]

Cool.

[Josh]

But these are some of the. The forms that are associated with, I believe, with these stories.

[Andrew]

That doesn't look like an otter.

[Josh]

Oh, gosh.

[Keith]

Scary.

[Josh]

How about the face Opening up.

[Keith]

Yeah, that is.

[Lily]

That's terrifying. Could you imagine?

[Keith]

That's not the. There's another thing I had that is connected to that and the lechi as well. It's in the Appalachian Mountains and they call them. It's basically a broad term, but they call it the don't look at them. Don't look at it entities.

[Andrew]

Oh, my gosh. I'm covered in goosebumps.

[Lily]

That's. That is a great theory for a horror movie.

[Keith]

But they said the quote is, if you hear something. If you hear or sense something out there, don't look at it.

[Andrew]

Oh, my gosh.

[Keith]

And the comment traits of the don't look at it entities. They call your name from the woods, mimicking someone that, you know, making strange noises that. That are just off the trail. But these stories come from, like, Scott, Scotch, Scots, Irish, English folklore, German immigrants, and indigenous Appalachian beliefs. Okay, so it's not just like one group of people.

[Andrew]

Yeah. It's everybody that lived in Appalachia then.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Immigrated or born.

[Keith]

But basically these things, they. They mimic people. And if you look at them, people disappear.

[Andrew]

Oh, my gosh.

[Keith]

And what's so creepy too is that like, I think we've talked about it before. The Appalachian mountains are like some of the oldest mountains in the world.

[Lily]

They're scary. A lot of scary tales.

[Keith]

And so it's like. Yeah, you get these stories primarily from the Europe, Asia area. Right. That was. They believe at some point the Appalachian mountains were like a part of like up there by England and stuff. And it just split.

[Andrew]

Wow. Shut the front door.

[Keith]

So it's like, could something have been carried over this?

[Andrew]

Dude don't even know about pangea.

[Keith]

But yeah, they. They have a couple of theories of like, what they could be. They call it like spirits or haints. Is that a thing?

[Andrew]

Oh, my gosh, yes, we talked about that. From sinners.

[Lily]

She thought it was a hate, but it turns out to be vampires.

[Andrew]

Yeah, it's a hate, but there's. Listen, I was telling you the other day about the southern porches. It's a. A thing, an old thing that we would do as southerners. You paint the ceiling of your porch blue to protect from hanging haints. What's a hate? Can somebody cover that?

[Keith]

No. Also that's silly because we got. We got.

[Lily]

Jesus, I got that blood above my door frame.

[Josh]

Oh, I'm scared and my windows are crooked.

[Keith]

But the indigenous people believe that they were four spirits, trickster beings or territorial entities. Which lines up with the lechi in this thing.

[Josh]

Yeah. Don't they call them mimics, too. Isn't that something out of Appalachia?

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

Yes. Dude, did you see that video?

[Lily]

That's very scary.

[Andrew]

Did you see that video of the girl? I bet it was made up, but it haunted me for so long. And Josh had seen it too, and I couldn't even get the words out. I was so scared to talk to him about it. But the girl was in her barn at nighttime in Appalachia, feeding, like, her cow or her pig. And she pan. She's. She hears a Russell. She pans up. Oh, my gosh, I'm scared talking. She pans up, up. And it's her in the corner facing the wall, like Blair Witch Project.

[Lily]

Blair Witch baby.

[Andrew]

And she goes. And she's like backing up and running out.

[Keith]

She runs her car. Car doesn't start.

[Andrew]

Doesn't start.

[Lily]

Oh, no.

[Andrew]

And they. All the comments are like, that's a mimic. That's a mimic. And I'm like, josh, it's a mimic.

[Lily]

Yeah. And there's. There's. What's the rule for? Is it don't look at it or is there something. I think there's a rule with mimics. Like you're not allowed to talk to them or call.

[Josh]

There's the opposite. I thought you did call them out.

[Lily]

I can't remember.

[Josh]

I know what you are.

[Andrew]

Oh, my gosh. I'd say I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.

[Keith]

Yeah. The sign of the cross.

[Josh]

Yeah, I'm looking it up.

[Lily]

Yeah, we'll. We'll dive into mimics and hates. I feel like that's a good. A good little.

[Keith]

It sounds like it's so close to a derogatory term.

[Josh]

It. Yeah.

[Andrew]

Yeah. It feels bad to say it.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

I. I will take an anti anxiety for that episode.

[Lily]

Yeah.

[Andrew]

So warn me ahead of time.

[Keith]

Speaking of anti anxiety for an episode. We got an episode right after this, folks, on patreon.com Ninjas are butterflies, are dolphins, are aliens. Half episodes, baby.

[Lily]

Yes. We talk about things that we didn't cover on here. It's a little more fun, a little more relax. Lily lets everything fly on there.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Lily]

Patreon, babe.

[Keith]

His Patreon. And guess what I'm going to be talking about what you can talk about. So last week on our Patreon episode, our homeboy Keith, he gave us these. These metazoo cards. They're cryptids.

[Lily]

Yes.

[Keith]

And we pulled a pack yesterday, and I chose a cryptid out of it to talk about.

[Andrew]

Oh.

[Keith]

So. And I'm gonna pull more.

[Lily]

Hey. Every week.

[Keith]

Every week.

[Andrew]

Lily, I'm gonna talk about Elvis being an occult wizard.

[Lily]

All right, I like that.

[Keith]

So, yeah, guys, go to patreon.com/ninjas or butterflies.

[Lily]

We got some things happening there in the next couple weeks. Next month. Yeah, some changes are going to be happening.

[Keith]

Good changes, good changes. Really awesome changes.

[Josh]

Unless you're an editor,

[Lily]

but hopefully we got a new shirt coming through. Dolphins, Aliens. That'd be kind of fun.

[Keith]

Yeah.

[Lily]

So go ahead, your turn. Go to Sunday school swag. Sundaycoolswag.com get ninja merch. If you love the podcast, you're gonna love our merch.

[Keith]

Or if you, your organization, your company, whatever, orders custom apparel, custom T shirts, hats, stickers, whatever. Go to sundaycool.com and start your order today.

[Lily]

You go to a school, you. You know somebody that runs a business. You go to your favorite restaurant, they sell merch and hats and stuff. Guess what? Tell them about Sunday Cool. Let us print their shirts and their hats and their stickers.

[Josh]

Everybody can do it. Everybody's had, like, that conversation. We're like, oh, that'd be sick on a shirt.

[Andrew]

Shirt.

[Josh]

Cool. Thing is, we have artists here, so all you have to do is say, I want this on a shirt, and we can do it.

[Andrew]

Well said. Andrew.

[Lily]

Yes. What do you have to say about Sunday?

[Andrew]

Cool.

[Lily]

About anything. Final words.

[Andrew]

Oh, my gosh. Happy to be here. Happy to be alive.

[Lily]

Accepting award.

[Andrew]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Hey, I want to plug this real quick. Well, I'll give you some time. You ready? You got like.

[Andrew]

I'm done.

[Josh]

No, you got you. 15 seconds to come up with your words. I think you guys might have encountered a mimic as I'm reading what they do. And I'm going to talk about it on Patreon.

[Keith]

Ew.

[Lily]

Fun.

[Keith]

All right, all right.

[Lily]

We love you. Jesus loves you.

[Josh]

Not even joking.

[Andrew]

Oh, my gosh. I don't even know if I want to. What you're about to see.

[Unknown Speaker]

Wow.

[Josh]

May disturb you if any of you know what these my decade. UAP Dolphins are aliens.

[Andrew]

Bottle nose fish pig was a massive police response.

[Lily]

Oh, the dolphin thing. Oh, my God.

[Keith]

Dolphin style attack.
