The brilliance of genius often goes hand in hand with strange eccentricities. One future
teenager is about to see just how strange, as he's enlisted to solve the
disappearance of a faint inventor's beloved settle in and save her the delicious sensation of
the electric field. Hey, this is Zaden and we are live. Thank
you for joining my streaming. As always, I'm getting lonely with this COVID
thirty seven business. Send it dollar to holla. Hey man, I'm just
keeping it real. Thank you, miss nuts for three three one. Thank
you. I mean I feel lame complaining, you know, like I'm turning
into my parents anyone else here, all their COVID nineteen stories as a kid,
just me, I'll see you screaming, MANEEMI I'm like, okay,
Mom, okay, Dad. You think you added bad back then, and
look at what we're still dealing with. But man, I came to chill,
to vibe, to play, not to complain. Yeah, you guys
been hanging in my stream since last week, right when it took all those
alien fools out in planetary three. Been mad trending, Yo. No one
ever thought to use a laser on the station foundation. Huh smarts. So
let's get right into where we left. Hold on, hold on. My
teacher's calling. He's such a boomer he never texts Hello, sir. Yes,
this is Aiden. There was an assignment video yesterday. Yeah, my
internet's out. What oh wait, I am streaming right now. My internet
must have just come back. Whoa Okay, yes, mom, I know.
Okay, let's see what this assignment is, low class. Let's begin
with a short meditation. Enough with the meditation, dude, your assignment should
you choose to accept it? Well, you have to if you want to
pass. Is a report on a famous inventor or visionary. Tell me why
their work was important? One thousand words. I'm not doing pages anymore after
the forty eight point type incident. Okay,'ploaded by midnight on the twenty
six thousand words. Come on, Hey, fam, I know it's not
my usual time, but I need some help. Okay, gott to write
a report on inventions or visions or something, any ideas? Nah, Nah,
I gotta write this myself. Man teacher knows my channel. Shout out
to mister p Okay new blast, see you electric cars, Tesla, Right,
wait, what's the site Official Intelligentsia. Oh that sounds dope. Okay,
I gotta get on this faster, I write faster. I can get
back to you fam, catch you later, Peace, Artificial Intelligencia dot com.
Okay, correspond with the historical AI of your choice, a full fledged
personality built from interviews, letters, writings, and recordings. Historical accuracy approximated
but not guaranteed. Okay, price saying fifty nine ninety nine a month.
Oh wait, seven day free trial, cha ching, sign me up,
Tesla Bingo, got it. Write your first message from mister Tesla. Okay,
Dear mister Tesla, I think your inventions are pretty cool, especially the
way you made lots of sweet electric cars, and I think some space rockets
stuff too. Anyway, could you tell me a little bit about your inventor
life and why you think it was important. The more the better, because
my report needs to be one thousand words at least. Sincerely, Zayden ps
right back soon. It's due Tuesday. Dear mister Zaden. Though I am
fluent in eight languages, the English dialect utilized in your request is unfamiliar to
me. From what region of the world do you hail, I shall need
some additional details from you in order to continue this correspondence. I am intrigued,
but I must confess at a loss as to your crediting me with space,
rockets and electric cars. I've read a paper or two from a mister
Goddard about rockets. Perhaps you are confusing me with him. As for the
electric cars, I have heard that my former employer, Tomas Edison was working
with Henry Ford one something of the kind. However, with Edison's minuscule cobwebbed
brain behind it, I am quite sure it never went anywhere unless blind chance
or Lady Luck intervened. What a sorry excuse for a scientist that man is.
Do you know even the tiniest amount of theory and calculation could save him
ninety percent of his labor, But no, the man insists on maintaining his
idiotic contemporary book learning and mathematical knowledge. Yeah, but I digress. I
am happy to write again and assist. Given some clarification, perhaps you can
also help me with a problem I am currently facing hers faithfully. Nikola Tesla
like, what the heck is this? Even the right dude? Tesla?
Electric cars? Um? Oh? Man? Hey, so I signed up
for your seven day trial or whatever, but I need to switch my AI
to Elon Musk Man. What do these chat boxes always takes? So?
Look? Hello, the free trial only allows for one AI. Additionally,
as he is currently living, we do not offer Elon Musk as an AI
option. Ah, hey, fam, what's up? Back with another emergency?
I need to get at Elon Musk like yesterday and he tips gator hater
six that is mad disrespectful? Which you want twelve dank memes? Really on
Twitter? Really? Okay? Okay, I'll try it at Elon Musk wanted
to write or port on you for school? Signed up to talk to this
dead guy instead? Caption can you help? Okay? Upload picture and post.
I hope that's dank enough. This Tesla's a pretty weird looking dude.
Whoa, he replied, already does this dude live on Twitter? Okay?
What's he got for me? Elo? L no Ah oh Man. In
another message, dear mister Zeeden, I must add a belated PostScript beyond the
problem I mentioned, which I am still seeking assistance with you. See,
I don't feel I expressed my feelings about mister Edison strongly enough. The man
has a grubby, little one track mind. He only thinks of patents,
patents, patents, He's moldering excuse for a mind. There's no vision beyond
the almighty dollar and his multitude of over work assistance are undoubtedly much more worthy
of credit than he is. Much has already been written about his achievements,
dubious though they may be, and I would be most strongly recommending you to
choose another report subject, if at all possible, to avoid inflating. He's
already a massive ego, yours truly, Nicola Tesla Huh, that's kind of
a sick burn, not Elon level, but not bad. Hey, mister
t I'll be real with you. I wanted to talk because I thought you
were someone else. This dude called Elon Musk has a company called Tesla,
and I got confused. I think it's maybe named after you. But yeah,
I guess I could just talk to you instead, because you seem pretty
cool, So don't forget. It should be about inventions and stuff and one
thousand words. Okay by Tuesday, Thanks man. Dear mister Zeden, I'm
not quite sure where to begin in examining my life achievements. In fact,
I find myself in a strange sort of limbo. I feel that I am
finished, that my life has been lived, But then wonder why I have
this continuing consciousness. Can you offer any logical explanation for this? I do
well with logic. Also, have you decided whether you can help me?
Yours? Nicola Tesla, Hey, mister t Okay, I guess I can
try to explain. So, there's this thing called artificial intelligencia. They take
all your writings and stuff, and a computer learns all of it and kind
of makes your voice up, I guess, but I don't really know too
much about how it works. I hope that helps. And what exactly is
it you need? Hold on? Message? Not said? This message violates
our terms and conditions. Oh, come on another one already. Dear mister
Zeddin, forgive my insistent correspondence, but I require exceedingly little sleep and my
mind is ever taking, especially in this limbo. Though we have never met,
you seem an inquisitive soul, and I'm afraid I have no others to
turn to. You'll see, I have lost a creature very dear to me,
and I wonder if you might help me to locate her as long as
I have her, there is a rapist to my life. Indeed, I
suspect she might be the reason my consciousness is not yet fully addressed. Like
me, she resides in New York City in America. If you can assist,
I would be overjoyed to answer any questions you have for your so called
report and even help in writing it. Regrettably, until then, my mind
is wholly preoccupied with the whereabouts of my love yours pleadingly, Nicola Tesla,
Really, dude, Yeah, mom, I'm working on it. Hey,
fam, we are live coming at you from the Zaydan. Thanks for Jodan
as always so I know my earlier checkens were a little weird. This report
thinks got me all messed up, man like, oh man, Elon won't
help, and this Nicola Testa dude's like begging me for help with his love
life. Man, Listen, I have lost a creature very dear to me,
and I wonder if you might help me to locate her. As long
as I have her, there is a purpose to my life. I mean,
okay, y'all right, that's some great a romance right there. Holla
for that dollar. But what force screaming to find her man. Come on,
I'm a gamer. I don't do that love stuff. That's what dating
apps are for. Okay, Okay, he does seem pretty into her.
You are a bunch of softies. Huh, no judgment. Okay, fine,
Well, at least you'll answer my questions. After love it is,
will our inventor's nameless mystery will and come to light. We'll get some illumination
after this brief message. Now back to electric feel. Hey, Tesla,
okay, deal, looking for you. I live in New York City,
but we have this pandemic thing happening, so I'm not really supposed to go
outside, kind of like the Spanish flu or whatever. You live through that,
right, Anyway, it's been a few years since you well, never
mind, I don't know if I can tell you all that, But anyway,
I have this thing called the Internet, and it's pretty good. It's
solving mysteries. I'll see what I can find out about your love or whatever.
Where and when did you last see her? And can you give me
anything else? A name, a description, Zaydan. Dear mister Zeden,
you have my most sincere gratitude. I last saw my love two months ago
at the Southwest corner of Bryant Park. There, as usual, I offered
her the special food the chef here at the New Yorker Hotel so kindly crafted
for me. Nothing seemed out of place at the time. I have revisited
this memory many times over, but no new details emerged. You asked her
name. Due to the differences in our modes of communication, she remained nameless
to me. I can describe her. She is small and white, with
beautifully delicate features, perhaps middle aged. She has a taste for whole grains
and unprocessed foods. So I gather from your letter that you are living in
a different era than I am. Somehow, No, I am not sure
how this is possible as I perceive it. It is currently May nineteen twenty
two. No. Einstein did touch on the possibility of time drivel. I
have found issues with these theories in the paste. Perhaps you're one of my
flashing visions. No matter, so long as you are helpful. Bye the
Bye. What is this Internet? You speak of some sort of mechanical Sherlock
Holmes, How is it powered? What's up? Guys? We are streaming
once again with a new Tesla Love up dude? So yeah, I think
I told you, I gave me like nothing to work with, right,
No name, small, white, middle age, doesn't speak any of the
languages. Tesla Nose lives near Brian Park, likes whole grains and seeds.
So yeah, first, I spend like all this time at NYC Public Records.
There's some crazy stuff in there, man, Like check out this picture
of my building from forever ago too. They're still using those brick phones anyway.
Yeah, I didn't get far on what he gave me. Do you
know how many middle aged white women live near Brian Park in nineteen twenty two?
A lot? Yeah, man, totally, that is exactly what I
did. Next, looked up some stuff on Tesla. Okay, fam,
this dude is kind of wild. Listen. He basically made up a brand
new electrical power system like in his head, who does that? And he
thought a wireless communication before like anyone? That's Godlike? Hey, thanks thanks,
man, Yeah, you know the more you know, right, this
man's blowing my mind. No, Lee's on his lady. Yeah, I
got to write him back with an update now, but I'm gonna keep researching
tonight. Peace. Hey, mister t Yeah, you're right, I'm from
the future. I won't really go into it too much, but yeah,
and the internet is a little complicated to explain, but I read about your
wireless tower idea and it's actually a lot like that where we can all communicate
instantly, but we also have the same giant librari as everybody else whenever we
want. It's kind of dope. You definitely did it, so your girlfriend.
No news yet, but I'm still trying any other clues for me,
your friend, Zaiden, dear mister Zedn, thank you for writing me so
promptly. I did not share this with you earlier in fear that you might
dismiss me out of hand. But my love is not human. She is
a pigeon. I know many would stop reading here, but I urge you
to continue. My whole life, I have had a brain where I could
clearly picture things. Everything I have invented began there, and I tinkered with
it there. But I never shared this with anyone before. Now, whenever
a new concept comes to life in my mind, I always see and feel
the flapping of bird's wings. Ever since I was a child, I thought
it was just a strange quirk of my brain, until one day I saw
those wings in the real world. She is my muse come to life.
From that moment, I never wanted to be without her. Will you continue
to help me find her? Pleadingly Nicola Tesla, Hey, what's up,
guys. I know I've been m Ia for a bit and based on the
comments on my last video, y'all are all hype for a love update.
Yeah, so things got a little weird, yo. Like, turns out
Tesla's girl is a pigeon. Yeah yeah, I know, right, Wait
screaming you knew how you googled it? Oh? Come on, anyway,
I know it's whacking everything, but I still kind of want to help the
guy. Wait, really, you guys think so too? Man, you
are softies. Okay, I see you. You're birds of a feather.
Yeah, right on, right on, Okay, listen. I looked into
it, and did you know that pigeons are like crazy smart. They can
like find shipwrecked people and count and they got magnetic tissue in their heads so
they can travel anywhere and like carry messages like in those old Harry Potter books.
Man, like the owls. Man, it's crazy, No, man,
I can't write my whole report on pigeons. Did I find her the
pigeon that's been dead for like forever. No, well not yet, gotta
go peace. Hey, mister t So, I'll be real with you.
I wasn't expecting her lady to be a bird lady, but yeah, I
mean, she's out super special and I want you guys to be happy and
everything. Also, it really helped me find out more about her. I
read that one of your assistants was working on gathering your papers and stuff when
he saw a pigeon at the window. White feathers with great tips and glowing
eyes. Sound familiar. This was, well, this was about twenty years
after you last saw her. I'm not sure if that helps your friend,
Zaiden, dearest Satan. I do indeed believe that must be my love.
I did not share this with you earlier or again, out of my fear
you might dismiss me out of hand. But I did see her one last
time, a week or two after the feeding in Brian Park. She appeared
at my window and her eyes were glowing with a light more powerful than any
of the electrical lamps I developed in my labs, terribly powerful. I felt
somehow she was telling me something, something urgent of her death. I thought,
but I couldn't be sure. After that, I could not find her
anywhere. But how could she still be alive so long after Yes, Mom,
I got it. How the heck can I fit this song to one
thousand words? The heck is that he turn that light off? Man,
you're gonna blo No way, no no, no, no, no no
no no way. You stay there, Let me get my phone. No
no, don't go, wait, come back, come back nothing, Mom,
I'm a gaming fam FAM FM MVM. You will not believe what just
happened. No, mister nuts, four three three one, I did not
fail history. In fact, I'm gonna turn in my paper a day early.
Look out for it, mister p yes screaming it's a pigeon update.
Yeah, I know y'all love that, but listen, yo, this was
straight up insane. I was finishing up this paper and when I heard a
tap tap tap at the window right Yo, his bird was there. No,
I was not high. I told y'all are not into that stuff.
No judgment though. Yo. I did get a photo, but it's all
blown out. This is gonna sound nuts, but that pigeon's eyes were like
high beams times a thousand, na man, she flew away. I gotta
figure out how to wait. What day is it? Oh? Man?
My sight trial ends today. I gotta go, fam, I gotta write
Tesla hey teeth. So I'm sending you a photo. I know it just
looks like a white blob, But your friend, Pigeon love whatever, she
came to me. I saw her. I know it was her, and
she was glowing, and she was she was beautiful. Man. She flew
away before I could ask her anything though, or tell her anything. I'm
sorry, man, Satan, Dear mister Zeden, I can feel your disappointment,
but I, for one, am overcome with hope. I feel certain
she would not visit you without a reason. I am thankful for your help
and feel compelled to or pay you in some way. Are you still in
need of a thousand words? I'm bombed, dude, Like, what if
she had a message for you and I scared her away? But don't worry
about the report. I actually wrote it already. I gotta say, you
are kind of amazing. How did you think of all that stuff in your
head? You know, I never really got the point of like research and
stuff, But it's it's been pretty cool getting to know you. I'm gonna
miss you, miss me. Can we not continue our correspondence? I have
also enjoyed it greatly. I mean it. It's tough to explain, but
basically costs a lot of money. Ah, I see, And I regret
that my debts are also numerous, but they shouldn't be. Dude, Westinghouse
totally took advantage of you. That was total bs. If there's anyway I
have already asked a great deal of you. But if I were to connect
with my love one last time, but perhaps my mind would finally be at
rest. But what if? I mean, what if I don't want your
mind to be at rest? It's too brilliant to be at rest. Let
me stay then. I I appreciate your sentiments, But how listen, maybe
she was a sign for me this time, just as much as for you.
Before I knew you, I thought signs was just some boring textbook I'd
page through and forget right after the test. But now now I'm feeling inspired.
Man. I know I'm not a genius like you, not even close.
But if we could keep talking, would you want to There's no better
mind than the curious one. I would be honored mister Siddon. In that
case, I think I have a plan to get you the bird and a
newly permanent pen pound. What's up? We all live? Thank you for
joining my stream as always. Okay, So I know y'all been following my
gaming for a couple of years, but I guess I found a new calling
since this whole Tesla Pigeon thing. Yeah. I want to keep giving y'all
those nuggets of weird history and like solving mysteries and stuff, but I need
your help, like enough to keep my AI subscription, you know. So
who's in yere? Hey, mister t We're in business. So what's the
recipe for that special bird seeds she likes? Oh? I am delighted to
share it. It is one of my proudest accomplishments. One part sunflower seeds,
lightly toasted, not too brown. You know, if they are cooked
too long they turn very bitter. Two parts cracked wheat at two parts sesame
seeds the black variety, one part wild rice, and one part emmeranth amaranth.
What the heck is amaranth? If you're ever near Bryant Park in Manhattan,
take a stroll to the intersection of West fortieth and sixth Avenue, now
known as Nicola Tesla Corner. During the last years of his life, the
brilliant scientist could often be found there feeding his treasured pigeons. Perhaps, if
you're very lucky, you'll catch a glimpse of a pigeon with beautiful white plumage
and get a little freezone of what Tesla felt for his beloved, and that
was Electric Feel. The cast featured in this episode include Ricardo Delgado as Sadan
