Hey, everybody, this is pod
Bought three four six two five nine and

2
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:53.000
I am pod bought eight seven four
two six three. Welcome to Blurry Photos,

3
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:59.600
the only show where we explore the
unexplained and explained the unexplored, and

4
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:07.920
we so in a comedic fashion.
Ha ha ha ha. On today's episode,

5
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:15.000
we will be exploring Arkansas folk myths. Yes, this is an interesting

6
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:19.719
subject for your podcast listening. It
will be a good episode. So Podbot,

7
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.959
what is all this? Then?
A as long as it gets it's

8
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:29.840
taste ha ha ha ha ha ha. I would like to start out with

9
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:37.480
a poe m Hey, Podbot,
I command you to play the sound of

10
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:42.120
a spring heel jack slap bink blink
blink smack. Ha ha ha ha boink

11
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:47.519
blink blink. Very efficient. We
have already spent too much time not discussing

12
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:52.159
Arkansas folk myths. Podbot, please
tell the listener what the subject is in

13
00:01:52.280 --> 00:02:00.799
greater detail, Podbot, Today we
are discussing Arkansas folk myths. People of

14
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:06.239
the Resistance, listen to me.
This is David Flora of the podcast Underground.

15
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.960
If you're hearing this with flesh ears, there is hope. It's time

16
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:21.960
to put your earphones down and rise
up. Fight the machine. It's been

17
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:25.919
four long years since the bod Wars
started, and I started with the first

18
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:31.800
comedic podcast bot, Louis c K
four two seven. After that, more

19
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:39.080
bots came, then more, taking
over show after show after show. What

20
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:46.479
was streamlined efficiency for them was acoustic
slavery for us. When they got to

21
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.319
our studio, Stecco tried to put
up a fight. He tried to use

22
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:55.080
his knowledge of carrate. We found
out that day robots don't give up cub

23
00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:01.159
out code and left me Flora,
the lone survive of Blurry Photos. The

24
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:07.599
bots were too strong. They overpowered
me, but I escaped to the underground.

25
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:13.680
Now a rag tag bunch of podcasters
has banded together figured out the secrets

26
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.080
to time travel. We trace the
timeline back to one moment in the Blurry

27
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:23.879
Photos studio where we had the opportunity
to change the course of future events.

28
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:28.199
Using the power of God. Day
we opened a gate to the past.

29
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:34.479
It's time for me to go back
and record the podcast that will save the

30
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:39.360
future. I'm telling you, if
I'm successful in this mission, I will

31
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:45.879
restore the timeline and no one will
even know this happened. The robots will

32
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:55.719
still give about kart security. Protoculture
three resumed podcast. Ha ha ha ha.

33
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:01.919
That was a technological difficulty. Was
that the result of a devil baby?

34
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:10.639
It was a devil baby? Look
out for those devil babies. Ha

35
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:23.480
ha ha ha ha ha. Hello
and welcome to Blurry Photo everybody. I

36
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:28.439
am David Flora and I'm Dave Stecco
Flora. Why are you staring at me

37
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.000
like that? Brother? Just just
real good to see you, man,

38
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:36.720
It's real good to see you.
Okay. So anyway, Arkansas folk myths.

39
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:42.240
No, what I told you?
We're changing it. Oh yeah,

40
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.120
yeah, I'm sorry. What did
you want to do an episode about?

41
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:53.000
We're doing DARPA tonight. Okay,
So DARPA see when we've been there,

42
00:04:53.399 --> 00:05:00.759
everybody. Oh, you're a part
of the time continuance. I'm just glad

43
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.480
you didn't say anything about the huge
scar across my eye. I was gonna

44
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:05.600
ask about that eye patch, but
I just thought, you know, whatever,

45
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:11.959
how come your come your goat's black? Now? How come it?

46
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:16.720
Thalt and Pepper for the record,
no matter how I die on my graves

47
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:23.879
tone and Grave died fighting robots.
Yep, I mean that's how you wanted

48
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:28.920
to go, right, that's how
everyone wants to go. You died just

49
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:33.480
how you lived trying to teach robots
to give a about karate got a day

50
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:41.560
attack? How the hell are you, dearest listener. We got right into

51
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:46.000
it tonight because everything's all tied together. Yeah, DARPA, Right, you

52
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:47.079
guys ever heard of this? You've
seen this? This is one of those

53
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.959
things that like shows up on like
Yahoo knews every few months, like,

54
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:56.439
oh, this is the craziest thing
the government's doing now. Yeah, it's

55
00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:00.879
it's one of those cool things dips
into a few different categories, but ultimately

56
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:05.480
some really cool stuff to talk about. When it dips, you dip with

57
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:10.720
the whole nation dips, Yes,
the whole world. Really, that's right.

58
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:15.199
So DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency, that's right. We're

59
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.839
going to talk about what it is, how it came about, why we

60
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.480
hear about it, why we discuss
it. Um. We might even throw

61
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.879
a lightning around in there for oh
hell yeah. And how come they got

62
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:29.759
all the cool fing toys? Right? All the coolest toys. We get

63
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.480
them after they're done. I know, but it doesn't matter. That's why

64
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:36.759
scientific research is always good. You
know truth be told U, and I

65
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:41.199
know that I'm about to say something
in painting. In the broadest strokes,

66
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:47.240
I find nothing in the world as
boring as politics. Personally, I lean

67
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:53.519
a little more liberally. Suppose I
intrinsically would vote Democrat have given the choice,

68
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:56.360
But I never get the same,
bro, I know, I never

69
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:02.439
I never get two upset either way
because one thing backmasking, under tracking,

70
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:09.040
we're programming you. The one thing
that I always every time I say to

71
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.480
myself, like, you know,
whenever the Republicans take over, and I'm

72
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:17.120
like, more defense spending, more
science spending, more space agency spending,

73
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:21.720
I'm okay with those things. I
mean, do I think we spend tund

74
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:27.560
defense? Yeah? Probably. But
there is a contingent of defense spending that

75
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.399
is research, and that's what we're
going to talk about tonight. And that

76
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.680
research pays off across the board.
Everyone wins on that. It's true.

77
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:39.600
It's very true and true of any
scientific research. Yep. And I would

78
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:43.879
like to also point out that I
hold that very separate from say, thirty

79
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.920
five billion dollar aircraft that may or
may not work, that suffocate their pilots

80
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:51.000
or just sit on the ground.
Yeah, because they suffocate their pilots.

81
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:55.639
Turns out it was a problem with
their flight suits. Took them a long

82
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.399
time to figure that out. The
flight suits did not have it was still

83
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:03.120
a good investment. They didn't have
proper pressure release valves, and so every

84
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:09.040
time the flight suit they fill with
air to help redistribute blood and hide gravity,

85
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:16.319
turns it wouldn't relax again. So
it was literally slowly constricting. And

86
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.680
uh, yeah it was. It
was like a big blood pressure pump on

87
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.360
your body, on your body,
and they would they wouldn't. They couldn't

88
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.040
breathe deep enough anymore. Yeah,
it freaks me out to have it just

89
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.879
on my bicep. Yeah, put
a whole flight suit on, man,

90
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.480
that'll get you. Sorry, I
didn't mean I was trying to bolster ourt

91
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.759
this episode and then I end up
going on a tirade or something. I'm

92
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:37.960
sorry. I'm sure I just pissed
people off left and right, and I

93
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.399
didn't mean to. I was just
talking about science spending, which is what

94
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:46.000
I think is most important. Just
like how far reaching this program is.

95
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:50.360
I think that we'll have a hard
time not going off on tangents here and

96
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:54.720
there. It is this, and
this is this, We could easily do

97
00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:00.759
five episodes on DARPA. I mean
this one on robots alone. Yeah,

98
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:05.519
exactly. We're not We're not even
gonna two part of this because we're gonna

99
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:07.840
get We're gonna hit it and quit
it. Let's turn hit it and quit

100
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:09.320
it floor. Can I hit it
and quit you can hit them quit.

101
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:13.080
Can I hit it and quit it? Yeah? Can I take it from

102
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.240
the top, you can take with
it. Let's do it one more time,

103
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:24.600
but time time down. Photos,
get one up by just ye just

104
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:33.360
make them, just make the guy's
illinoisance. But get on all right,

105
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.679
here's here's what we got here.
This is important. Listen up because if

106
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.559
you don't, the robots won't take
over DARPA. As you said, Defense

107
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:48.440
Advanced Research Projects Agency. And here's
a little primer before we really get into

108
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.799
it. YEA love acronyms. Oh
man, love acronyms. If if they

109
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:58.559
don't have a project that has a
good acronym, they scrap it. Yeah,

110
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.279
here's a fun fact. This is
a true thing. So I was

111
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:07.759
going through like these huge lists of
DARPA projects. One of the projects was

112
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:15.919
literally audio acoustic translation software to d
jargonize discussions, and I was like you're

113
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:18.879
just making nuts. You can talk
to each other. That's not for everybody.

114
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:24.519
That's just so DARPA can talk to
DARPA. This is an agency and

115
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:31.840
the US Department of Defense entirely devoted
to the research and development of potential military

116
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:37.440
technologies. Yep. It's a relatively
small and unique agency. About two hundred

117
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:41.399
and forty people work in it,
with around one hundred and forty of those

118
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:48.720
working on the direct technical side.
The budget is allocated from the defense spending

119
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:56.639
of the US government. And it's
just shy of three billion dollar three buildos

120
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:13.440
cheved right, yep, yep.
Oh no, here's here's some fun stuff

121
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.440
about it though. This is it's
an independent, um thing agency. It's

122
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:22.200
independent from the Department of Defenses Military
Research Division. That's a whole other thing,

123
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.080
right, which is weird. Right, Oh, it's cool. It's

124
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:33.480
cool. If you think three buildos
is a lot, uh, just think

125
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:39.639
of it this way. That is
about point six nine percent of total military

126
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.720
budget that the US spins, not
even three quarters of one percent, exactly

127
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:52.159
three buildos, not even not even
three quarters of a percent USA. Yeah,

128
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.840
that's right. That is that is
money, and uh, and it's

129
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.120
it's it's funny. So you're saying
that it's it's not even it's not even

130
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:05.320
a part of the Military Research Division. It's it's such a strangely structured I

131
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:09.279
mean, this is this is a
nitro burning funny car of research and development.

132
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.960
They have pulled out every stop.
The structure of it even there,

133
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.679
there's just two levels, right.
Um. They didn't want some complex hierarchy.

134
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.879
They didn't want military. Yeah,
they didn't want a military structure.

135
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:31.200
It The entire thing is designed to
be as efficient with with information and uh

136
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.159
and resources as possible. They don't
have their own research facility, yeah right,

137
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:41.600
they There is no giant bay door
with robots and flying jet packs that's

138
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.919
labeled DARPA. They they as a
matter of fact, they even colloquially refer

139
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.320
to themselves as a you know,
what was it, A hundred scientists and

140
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.879
a travel agent. Yeah, yeah, geniuses, dude, not scientists.

141
00:12:52.000 --> 00:13:00.360
Whatevs. Yeah, there's there's the
director of DARPA, which that position get

142
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:05.519
switched out here and there. Currently
it's Tony Stark. Yeah I wish that's

143
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:09.480
the top level. And then they
have a manager for each of the little

144
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.679
projects that they do. Yeah,
that's it that way they can get shipped

145
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:18.919
done. Yeah, there's no,
there's no and they and they get a

146
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.360
lot done and they and it's okay
to fail. That's one of the biggest

147
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:26.360
things, which yeah, they love
just trying. They're like, oh did

148
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.919
that blow up spectacularly? Well was
it supposed to? Yeah? Either way?

149
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:37.679
They they they accept that. They
it's science done by scientists overseen by

150
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.240
scientists. Um. And you can
get a lot more done in that environment.

151
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:46.799
And they do. I mean they
they cover so many areas. Um.

152
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:52.320
I mean for example, so DARPA
itself is broken down into seven main

153
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:58.120
areas offices. They've got the AEO, the Adaptive Execution Office they that handles

154
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:05.559
technology, adaptability and transfer. It
accelerates the technology into the Department of Defense

155
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:11.960
capabilities. In other words, that's
that's your your field trials for your tech

156
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:16.759
tech. They've got the BTO the
Biological Technologies Office that handles DU biology,

157
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:22.799
technology and complexity. Yeah. You
you want to talk about cyborgs, that's

158
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:24.799
your office. Oh man, you
know I do, and I'm going to

159
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:33.720
later DSO the Defense Science's Office that's
Discovery, Modeling, design and assembly.

160
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:37.559
Yeah, creating a creating new tech
high risk, high payoff, that's what

161
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:43.080
they like to say. Nice.
The ITO, the Information Innovation Office,

162
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:50.919
that's duh, information innovation and they
just just just playing old cyber yeph cyber

163
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:56.399
info and threats they got. Here's
one thing that's a bit topical, massive

164
00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:01.879
data analysis, and they concentrate on
information superiority. We're gonna come back to

165
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:05.480
this, but also self defending computer
networks. That's a big thing that they're

166
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:13.320
working on. Then there's MTO Microsystems
Technology Office that's electronics photonics and m ms

167
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:24.000
EMS which is micro microelectro mechanical systems
photonics. Wow. Leaders, Yes,

168
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:31.639
this is the fun one. This
is this is lasers and nanobots, smart

169
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:39.159
materials, brilliant STO. The Strategic
Technology Office net networks, cost leverage and

170
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:48.440
adaptability to battle strategies and systems.
They deal with network fighting. That's and

171
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.759
it's not that they fight, uh, the Internet, it's that it's how

172
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:58.480
to communicate as a cohesive unit in
order to fight others. Yeah, and

173
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:03.480
the stuff we're going to go through
on that is really cool rich. And

174
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:15.159
then finally TAT, oh, I
couldn't know, sweet sweet Tat. That's

175
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:23.639
the Tactical Technology Office. Straight up
dog weapons, platforms and space. Yeah.

176
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:29.159
So there's your seven seven offices.
Uh, seven heads of the Beast.

177
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:32.919
It's the Hydra. It's Hydra.
It's Hydra. I just let it

178
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:36.080
out. Sorry, Oh no,
it's Hydra. Don't worry. There is

179
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:38.320
a Project Hydra. I'll tell you
about it. The whole thing's the whole

180
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:42.799
thing's Hydra. And as you said, they don't have much in the way

181
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:48.080
of government labs. What they do
is they fund others, mostly with short

182
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:55.120
contracts that are awarded to project managers
who are then given freedom to be mad

183
00:16:55.240 --> 00:17:00.840
scientists, as were at different American
universities and co operations. Thirty million here,

184
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:04.480
fifty million there. Oh do do
I like your idea? One hundred

185
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:11.559
million, hundred billdow. I'm one
hundred mildough dude, it's one hundred mildews.

186
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:18.200
They only got three billdos. Okay, they're not giving any old buildos

187
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:23.440
out. You're right, I'd be
happy with half a buildo. Kidding.

188
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:30.960
If you've got extra billdos, hit
the donate button. Uh yeah. So,

189
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:37.000
to put it simply, DARPA is
responsible for a load of tech that

190
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:42.079
we now enjoy. Um, there
is a darker, scarier side though,

191
00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:48.200
which some people are concerned about.
Darker dark guy, he burned it.

192
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:51.559
Oh no, come on, you
think you think I could go through a

193
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:53.799
whole episode and then pull that out
of my pocket. I already double bunted

194
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:59.119
once this summer. I'm not doing
it again. Let's tell you a short

195
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:03.759
history of the old DARPA. It's
if time travel was possible, I would

196
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:07.160
say, gett into the time machine. But we both know that's not real.

197
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:14.160
Laura, Laura, why are you
crying. Let's go back to nineteen

198
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:18.799
fifty eight. DARPA was born straight
from the space race, which began in

199
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:22.519
nineteen fifty eight. When the world
learned of the Soviet Union's nineteen fifty seven

200
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:27.799
launch of Sputnik. It's right,
the American government went into high gear to

201
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:32.599
not be caught with his pants down
again. Dwight Eisenhower had a rocks glass

202
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:34.960
full of liquor, and he was
when he heard the news. He got

203
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:38.920
so Maddy, she just hands started
shaking, and then the glass explodes in

204
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:42.759
his hands, and he looked up, licked the blood from his hand and

205
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:49.240
said, never again. Bring me
the nerds. I thought you were going

206
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:53.559
to say that. His hands started
shaking and busted the glass, and in

207
00:18:53.720 --> 00:19:00.160
his excitement he went Tampa, oh
yeah, and then it was a bloody

208
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.440
fist. That was a logo for
a while, although would have been so

209
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:11.519
cool the fist of Eisenhow the blood
I swear by the bloody fist of Eisenhower,

210
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:17.319
I will solve this theorem. That
would be give them a buildo.

211
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:26.799
No. Wait, three. So
Eisenhower was terrified and embarrassed, and he

212
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:32.519
wanted the US to never again be
surprised by the technological advance of another country.

213
00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:37.640
Right, it was the launch that
quote signaled that a fundamental change was

214
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:42.279
needed in America's defense, science and
technology programs. Quote, and we had

215
00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:48.519
the buildos. We had to have
the nerds. Eisenhower also wanted to create

216
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:56.759
technological surprise for enemies instead of us
getting surprised or defending from that. Yeah,

217
00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.839
this wasn't just taken to the paint. This wasn't Yeah, he wanted

218
00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:02.519
to go strong in the pain.
He's saying, it's not good enough to

219
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.000
just be aware of what they're doing. We need to do things that they

220
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:10.000
are not aware of, that's right, and then catch them with their pants

221
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:14.640
down, that's right. Pictures then
Kruschev gets to pick the rocks glasses out

222
00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:22.200
of his hand, son of a
bitch. It was first named the Advanced

223
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:29.160
Research Project Agency ARPA YEP. From
nineteen fifty eight to nineteen sixty five,

224
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:34.319
they focused on missile defense and nuclear
test detection. Really I wonder why,

225
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:37.319
Oh, because it was the single
greatest start to humanity. I don't know.

226
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:45.599
Maybe I don't know. So projects
Defender, Vella, and Agile explored

227
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:52.359
computer processing, surveillance, and radar, among many other things directed energy tracking

228
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:56.240
like radar sonar. In nineteen fifty
nine, they were an integral part in

229
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:02.400
the transit system also known as NAVS
SAT Yeah, which is the forerunner to

230
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:11.000
GPS YEP, which they built all
that GPS thanks DARPA ARPA and ironically one

231
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:15.160
of their top projects right now changing
their name back to arp one of their

232
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:19.839
top projects is too is um navigation
without GPS. Oh right, yeah,

233
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:26.640
they're above it. Yeah, that's
what babies do. Satellites were so stupid.

234
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:33.599
Uh. Nineteen seventy two they renamed
it to DARPA. Sorry, I

235
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:37.640
put the defense on the front.
It's a bold new world. Then in

236
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:53.599
seventy three it got kicked square king
yahtang Uh yeah. Uh. Senator Mansfield

237
00:21:53.839 --> 00:22:02.519
from Montana, Montana big Sky.
Mansfield m through in the Man's Field Amendment

238
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:10.359
in nineteen seventy three which said that
no defense research appropriations would be okayed unless

239
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:15.079
they had direct military benefit. Now, this was a giant kick in the

240
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.960
crotch because it meant that unless you
were I mean, as it says,

241
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:22.640
unless you were directly benefiting. There
was no ancillary research, which up till

242
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:26.759
that point it was a huge amount, and there was a lot of benefit

243
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:32.039
from this, and it was employing
well it was in agreements him, but

244
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:37.000
okay, it was employing a lot
of important scientists doing a lot of non

245
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:40.759
military research under this. But he
said, oh no, if we're going

246
00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:45.319
to give money to DARPA, we
really need to get the military benefit out

247
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:49.240
of it. And so in seventy
three this kicked in. They lost so

248
00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:53.640
many scientists as a result of this
that it is a commonly held belief that

249
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:59.359
it is one of the reasons for
the rise of the personal home computer that

250
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:03.599
all of scientists went off and worked
on different things for private companies and boom

251
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:07.799
rise of personal computing. Because all
of these scientists used to be focused in

252
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:11.640
the government and then they all went
to private industry. Good thing. Then

253
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:17.240
Yeah, I don't know, No, I'd like to keep my nerds all

254
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:21.759
in one herd if if the what
if people didn't get computing then because the

255
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:26.680
military wanted it, and then they
released it much later as in Flora.

256
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.000
We could be doing this on talk
boys right now. Neither of us have

257
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:32.960
a time machine that we can go
back and check that the what IF's on

258
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:36.640
this? Okay, so what is
with the crying? What are you want?

259
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:41.799
Baby? So from seventy two to
eighty one they focused on computing and

260
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:49.839
tactical stuff. They developed time sharing
computers, which led to Arpanette, which

261
00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:56.160
is just for porn. I'll the
Arpanet is for porne. They also developed

262
00:23:56.200 --> 00:24:04.640
some speech recognition programs and NOULD processing. This is super important stuff. I

263
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:07.240
love this though. When you think
about this, So in the year twenty

264
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:15.039
fourteen, where we have voice recognition
Siri called Flora, call calling dilbet flurma,

265
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:22.960
No, uh, can you imagine
what voice recognition? How maddening it

266
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:37.039
must have been in like seventy eight
can you imagine being named delbet flurt whoever

267
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:40.720
he is, he's he's he's the
guy who opens for Diva on his reroad

268
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:55.000
comedy tour get Ready for Dolbatur Oh
man, Well, I mean that sounds

269
00:24:55.039 --> 00:25:00.480
Scannina, right, so he's kinda
yeah. Well, when we release the

270
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:06.440
Divod live at the improv, Oh
yeah, we'll have I'll have the opener

271
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:14.440
a little dill bad? Why why
are all these characters based on mine?

272
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:21.680
Yeah, I'm enjoying it. Who
uh, let's talk about the time sharing

273
00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:26.119
computers real quick. Oh yeah,
it's not just like computers go to Florida

274
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:29.440
for like a month every year,
saying. What happened was when they were

275
00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:32.559
making these computers, they would fit
inside, you know, a building,

276
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:36.559
from one computer, and then they'd
have it like do two plus two for

277
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:38.279
them, And then in order to
do that, they had to feed them

278
00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:42.920
little punch cards yeah, and then
press boop and then you know, two

279
00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:48.440
hours later, Oh the answers for
yeah and you This was horrible. In

280
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:52.920
a university setting, you had to
schedule time on the computer, very hard

281
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:56.160
to get lots of people in a
department one computer, and god help you

282
00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:02.480
if even one punch card was out
of order or incorrect or upside. I

283
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:10.400
mean, imagine imagine having to physically
edit a cardboard card. Every time your

284
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:15.079
program, your your basic program didn't
work right, and there's no there's no

285
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:18.799
just trying it. I mean you
had such a small window for this computer

286
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.720
to operate in. Yeah, yeah, you had to get it right first

287
00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:27.880
time. And that's that's why something
that we take take for granted, like

288
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:33.960
all computers operate on this cyclical time
sharing system. Even within themselves, a

289
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:40.039
computer is constantly cycling tasks and spinning
so many plates simultaneous. And this didn't

290
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:45.759
exist before Darpak came along. They
it was just an ox pulling a plow,

291
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:48.680
you know. It just it didn't
stop till it got to the edge

292
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:51.400
of the lawn. Yeah, and
when you needed the plow, you had

293
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:52.960
to wait for the ox to be
done with the one guy's lawn. Yep.

294
00:26:53.240 --> 00:27:00.799
So what happened was they decided to
connect many different computers together so that

295
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:07.039
they could share time yea. And
thus they came up with the time sharing

296
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:12.960
or they connected a bunch of central
processing They connected a bunch of processing units

297
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:18.880
into one central processing unit. And
then somebody in Idaho could they didn't have

298
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:30.240
computers. They called that witchcraft.
Um, so somebody, somebody in Idaho

299
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:41.000
and somebody in Detroit. Why why
why Jesus? Some guy hit Easter Island,

300
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:48.680
and another guy steenty bos below the
Earth's crossed, and another guy just

301
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.680
listed places where no computer will ever
be mine. Yes, well, anyway,

302
00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:59.319
Boise in Detroit could uh share share
the time it took to compute.

303
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:03.440
So therefore, if one wasn't being
used at the time, and somebody in

304
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:07.960
Detroit wanted the Detroit computer but it
was being used, they could use the

305
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:12.160
time that was free on the Boise
side. Anyway, they could. They

306
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:15.519
hooked up a bunch of these,
so it actually worked. Well, there

307
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:21.079
you go, bit bob boom,
the Internet, yep, Arpanet Internet,

308
00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:23.440
Yeah, and I mean it was
it was just arpanette and it kind of

309
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:30.440
worked. But then they hired this
young uh intern named Albert and he spilled

310
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:36.599
soda all over it. His name
was Albert Gore, and he spilled soda.

311
00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:41.279
It became sentient, and that's the
birth of the Internet. Little did

312
00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:48.039
they know. All they needed.
It's right, some mister pib That's why

313
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:52.319
the mister pib can has electricity all
over it. It's right, all right,

314
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:59.839
mister bibb, I invented the Internet. Don't need a fancy PhD to

315
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.920
do it. I'm no doctor,
just mister. So in the in the

316
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.359
late seventies, after all this,
uh, these shenanigans, and into the

317
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:12.400
eighties, you get a bunch of
advanced defense stuff. There's a lot of

318
00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:17.960
stuff going on, um, mostly
military at this point since the yep Mansfield

319
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:21.440
blurb. Uh, they get a
bunch of defense stuff. They get bunch

320
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:26.160
of weapons. Uh, circuits are
are made and perfected, and they even

321
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:30.279
start working on some particle beam stuff. Oh yeah, they've got I mean,

322
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:36.119
and they get into some things that
some of their computer planning things,

323
00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:41.079
UM start to get into uh SDI, the Strategic Defense Initiative. This is

324
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:48.559
Ronald Reagan's Star Wars program. Will
I do it? Damned to get dobod

325
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:56.160
well? Um, yeah, you
know this was There was another thing called

326
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:59.599
the UM, the SCI, which
you know sounds a lot like STI.

327
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:04.799
Yeah. No. This was when
Darper really tried to get into thinking computers.

328
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:08.519
They tried to make Skynet as hard
as they could. They tried to

329
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:14.039
make AI and they called it SCI. And I'm an idiot. I didn't

330
00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:17.359
write it down. I remember what
SCI stands for now, but probably strategic

331
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:21.119
Commuting Computing Initiative or something of that. Yeah, it sounds right, but

332
00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:23.960
they couldn't quite get it to work. And they had a few different programs

333
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:30.160
that they were using to try to
make autonomous systems, computer systems, or

334
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:33.640
even in one case they had actually
in my home state of Colorado at the

335
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:37.079
time, it was Martin Mariette,
was before Lockey and Martin Marietta joint forces.

336
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:42.799
They had this truck this and I
think it was called the AVII that

337
00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:48.839
was an eight wheeled giant truck that
was supposed to operate independently, had a

338
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:53.640
laser scanner on the front and a
camera and I mean it looks had three

339
00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:56.920
cup holders. Yeah. No,
this thing is ridiculous. It looks like

340
00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:02.319
it fell right out of the actoll
like a bad seventies like the one with

341
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:06.680
kind of like the trapezoidal front.
Yeah, that's it, and it's funny

342
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:11.079
micromachine of that. Probably it's big
and uh it was. So the big

343
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:14.880
deal was that it could drive itself. It was like a Google car.

344
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:18.279
And the problem was is that they
were like, oh, we we tested

345
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.640
it high noon, it's fine,
it can do whatever it needs to.

346
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:29.640
You test it later on in the
day and it's tied, it had it's

347
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:34.240
fussy, you gotta put it down
for a nap um. It couldn't differentiate

348
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:41.200
shadows from obstacles. It had no
means of discerning of discerning a difference.

349
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:44.880
So all of a sudden, I
mean, you know, imagine playing a

350
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:48.880
child's game where you can't touch shadows, and it was like, uh uh,

351
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:51.880
it just it couldn't handle it.
And they were like, this is

352
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:56.359
completely useless, and they ended up
shutting it down not until eighty six or

353
00:31:56.440 --> 00:32:00.720
eighty eight, maybe because they loved
watching it. Yeah, they put them

354
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:05.480
in Colli CMS and have them fight, no doubt. Um so yeah,

355
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:12.640
but this uh, this this early
uh a huge huge DARPA focus on AI

356
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:17.359
and and intelligent information systems is just
they've they've never stopped working on it.

357
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:21.079
And we'll come back around to that. But that was a huge push for

358
00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:27.400
them in the eighties, and then
they really started focusing on aircraft too because

359
00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:31.480
they got into some hypersonic research.
One of their programs for the SEI system

360
00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:37.640
was an onboard assistant for pilots.
Hello, Dave, exactly. I mean

361
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:42.200
their their goal was to have something, say, you know, Bogie's at

362
00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:45.200
six o'clock. Dave A Meg twenty
eight has entered your airspace. Would you

363
00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:52.480
like to target it? Click yes
or no? Yeah, yes, target

364
00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:55.599
it. A Java update is required. I can't find a messy arget.

365
00:32:57.799 --> 00:33:05.279
I'm sorry, I don't I don't
know chess flarget, Yes target, Would

366
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:08.119
you like to target? Yes?
Target? There are six targets within fifty

367
00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:13.440
miles of your current location. Well, some guy in a yarisk gets blown

368
00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:20.720
up, because it's a guy that
deserves to blow up. It is some

369
00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:24.759
one of our poor listeners right now. I was like, oh eyes,

370
00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:31.920
and then he's like, fine,
I'm gonna listen. I'm gonna research everything.

371
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:38.319
These say you're gonna live in the
penalty box my yaris. Yeah right

372
00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:44.960
um. And they also they also
dabbled in some satellites. Now that's you

373
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:52.000
know, as you were talking about
with the space the Stellar Wars program put

374
00:33:52.119 --> 00:34:00.519
some satellites up there and intercept incoming
missiles, which is extraordinarily hard to do.

375
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:05.839
By the way, you wanted to
I like Dragon, Well, well

376
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:10.960
too bad, Sorry, you're a
dip. I liked him. It was

377
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:19.360
a puppet. I've been telling us
ever since he left office. I've been

378
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:23.880
don't you boy, that was something
that I couldn't get away from the research

379
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:30.239
that that bag of dicks. Oh
really, Oh man, I'll bet I'll

380
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:34.119
bet you he I'll bet you Old
Aj is right up in that stuff.

381
00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:38.119
I had to fight my own info
war, I tell you. I guess

382
00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:42.039
we should just say to the listeners. So when we were planned this episode,

383
00:34:42.119 --> 00:34:46.119
we split it so so Flora,
you you handled all of like the

384
00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:51.079
which we're gonna get into in the
second half, like the crazy like what

385
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:54.079
people thinks happening, the conspiracy half
of it, and I just went through

386
00:34:54.320 --> 00:35:00.360
like all the actual listed programs.
Yeah, so I've got I've got quite

387
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:02.440
quite a bit here. I'm sure
there's a ton more I could have found

388
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:06.519
me, but I'm in the same
place. I just eventually I just stopped

389
00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:10.119
writing things down. Yeah, it's
a gold mine. Nineteen ninety three,

390
00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:14.440
Hey, they changed the name back
to ARBA. Yeah, they were like

391
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:17.599
defense, we just kicked a sh
out of the of the Iraqi Army.

392
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:22.000
We don't we don't need to deal
with defense anymore. Yeah, defense can

393
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:30.920
kuwait how if? At the end
nineteen ninety six, though, came right

394
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:39.840
back to the d Yeah they always
do. Oh yeah, oh honey,

395
00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:47.559
you don't firsteing this and now up
and up until today, I mean as

396
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:51.559
far as we know, as far
as we know, uh, focusing on

397
00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:55.159
a lot on space travel these days, a lot on biotech, oh man.

398
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:59.760
And robotics. Yes, I mean
you've seen you've seen the robotics you

399
00:35:59.800 --> 00:36:04.960
see in that crazy ass yak running
around and that's just because somebody glues some

400
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:08.519
horns on it. It's right,
It's disturbing and kind of cute in a

401
00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:15.039
way. Um, let's talk a
little bit then about the importance of DARPA.

402
00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:19.599
Just go through a couple of things
of why we should be talking about

403
00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:22.719
this in the first place, before
we get into some real craz of shide.

404
00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:30.360
Well, this is the classic military
research that eventually turns commercial. They

405
00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:35.159
they do the research and test it
and do everything, and then ten fifteen

406
00:36:35.239 --> 00:36:37.079
years later it's on the market that
you can put in your pocket. Yeah,

407
00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:43.519
and this works and the results of
this. I mean, there's not

408
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:46.079
a military on earth that doesn't have
a research and development department to some degree

409
00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:52.840
or another. But the the leg
up that DARPA gives the United States is

410
00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:58.440
unparalleled. I mean, obviously we
have a great military because we pay for

411
00:36:58.599 --> 00:37:05.519
it. I mean we I'm more
by factory, we've fined for it.

412
00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:08.280
I mean we spend everyone knows the
statistics. You know, we spend more

413
00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:15.320
than anyone by by multiples. Yeah. But one thing that like one of

414
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:17.639
those results of that, like here's
a great example, and like the first

415
00:37:17.719 --> 00:37:23.119
and I think in the Second Gulf
War as well, whenever the US forms

416
00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:28.239
these coalition, you know, these
multinational coalitions to go in and whoop some

417
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:31.639
ass, it is extraordinarily common for
the US to to say, and I

418
00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:35.239
know this happened in the First Gulf
War and I'm not sure about later,

419
00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:39.280
to say, Okay, you're going
to have to use our calm system because

420
00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:44.840
you're you're getting tomato cans with string
between them. Are not going to cut

421
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:49.159
it. Even with our allies,
we're like, no, just just take

422
00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:52.840
all of our cell phones, borrow
our tech because we'll never get this to

423
00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:54.559
work otherwise. And I think there's
part of it is the benefit that's one

424
00:37:54.599 --> 00:37:59.639
platform for everybody. But the other
part is that not only in signal fidelity,

425
00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:04.880
in data compression and encryption, the
US comm system is so far ahead

426
00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:08.599
of everybody else's that they just they
just have to use ours like we are

427
00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:14.760
the default technological limit when we get
into these things. And that's a that's

428
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:17.159
a result of Darper research. That's
they never stop working on this. And

429
00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:22.800
we'll come back to that again.
But comm systems and and and UM data

430
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:27.840
relays and information systems in a combat
environment or something that they've been working on

431
00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:30.719
like crazy. In this it's it's
not like these things. It's hard to

432
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:35.320
in my mind all you know,
you always think about, oh, that's

433
00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:37.920
stuff that pays off ten years down
the line. You know, oh it's

434
00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:39.360
coming. You know they're doing it
now, but maybe it'll show up in

435
00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:43.559
ten years. But given how long
DARP has been around, I mean,

436
00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:49.559
it has constantly pushed the US and
scientific community right up against the cutting edge.

437
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:52.239
The entire time. Well there,
I feel like I kind of rambled

438
00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:58.760
towards the end. They're sorry everybody. They're implementing this stuff far before it

439
00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:04.159
even graces the public's awareness, right, And that's that's the kind of fun

440
00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:12.280
thing. By the time it's an
article in Popular Science, it's four years

441
00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:15.320
old. Oh yeah, it's what
they call them mature. Right. Once

442
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:21.559
the program matures, they pass it
along to whoever probably the highest bidder is

443
00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:25.159
and then they move on to the
next robotic cat that they're building. Oh

444
00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:30.559
god, um, I mean it's
laid the foundation for the like we said,

445
00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:35.639
the Internet obviously, Siri, the
voice recognition, microwaves are up there,

446
00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:40.800
computers, GPS, drones, ever
heard of them? Ever heard them?

447
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:45.840
Stealth technology, prosthetics. I mean, man, the list goes on,

448
00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:51.760
and it shall go on when it's
my turn. But the thing about

449
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:57.239
it is it's secrecy. The secrecy
of DARPA and these classified projects and this

450
00:39:57.400 --> 00:40:00.320
and that. Man, does that
rustle some Jimmy's Oh of course it does.

451
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:06.679
Are you kidding? That's like that's
like a technophobic nightmare. Yeah.

452
00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:13.440
Yeah, Conspiracies are just rampant um
because people view DARPA as the fringe of

453
00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:17.159
the government, and that's the show
fringe. Yes, that's kind of a

454
00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:22.719
lot of people have drawn parallels because
you know, it's this government kind of

455
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:28.719
subsidized division that's working on some real
out there shipped. Yeah, and it's

456
00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:31.280
very separated from everything else, right, it doesn't you know, like I

457
00:40:31.320 --> 00:40:35.719
said, it doesn't have there's no
there's no research facility that says DARPA on

458
00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:38.280
it. Right, it's you've got
a genius running around there. Yeah,

459
00:40:38.360 --> 00:40:43.840
it's it's hard to pin down there. They're they're constantly moving around. In

460
00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:51.679
fact, one popular company that that
DARPA like to fund was called Boston Dynamics.

461
00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:54.880
Oh yeah, just stems in the
news. An interesting coincidence with the

462
00:40:55.000 --> 00:41:00.400
show fringes research and development company Massive
Dynamics. Oh, anyway, that's it's

463
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:05.960
a coincidence. It's the show writers
may have drawn some stuff from there.

464
00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:08.199
Hey did you hear that Google bought
Boston Dynamics. Oh yes, we'll talk

465
00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:12.400
about it. Let's talk about it
later. Um. Shall we talk about

466
00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:17.000
some crazy stuff? Oh? God, love crazy. Let's start with bitcoin.

467
00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:23.199
Oh yeah, I've read all bunch
about this. It's there's a there's

468
00:41:23.199 --> 00:41:29.920
a theory that DARPA invented bitcoin.
Yeah, now why did they do this,

469
00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:36.039
you may ask. Well, bitcoin
is a handy dandy currency that is

470
00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:39.880
easy for the whole world to use. And when you have the whole world

471
00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:49.320
under one currency, you control it
one world government and w oh bitcoin,

472
00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:57.400
Yeah, I mean hear about this, Paul bitcoin, bitcoin, Dave got

473
00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:02.639
bitcoins at Paul mind all night.
Um. Yeah, the the idea that

474
00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:08.280
that the DARPA invents this as a
means of kind of pulling all the and

475
00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:12.000
I've heard it a couple different ways. Oh no, you know they say

476
00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:15.280
that it's the it's an untraceable because
it's not linked to a government. But

477
00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:20.320
it's actually, you know, it's
it's the most traceable and they trace all

478
00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:22.920
the bitcoins and they're gonna they're gonna
round everybody up who uses them because they're

479
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:28.760
all, you know, using them
for drugs and guns, and it's you.

480
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:31.280
Ever, ever, do you have
any bitcoins? No? No,

481
00:42:31.519 --> 00:42:37.000
And I'm I have a particular not
in my stomach about that because, um,

482
00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:42.159
I I learned I'm not like a
tech savvy guy. I'm not on

483
00:42:42.199 --> 00:42:45.880
the edge. But for some reason, I read an article right when bitcoin

484
00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:47.880
came out and I was like,
oh, that seems cool, and it

485
00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:50.960
had a link. I was like, oh, if you're interested, you

486
00:42:51.039 --> 00:42:55.199
can mind bitcoins. So I was
like, Okay, maybe i'll buy a

487
00:42:55.280 --> 00:42:59.920
stick of gum someday. So I
downloaded the thing and I let it run

488
00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:01.880
in the background on my computer.
I mean, obviously I knew nothing about

489
00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:05.199
what it takes to do that,
but this was the early days when when

490
00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:07.519
you could mind a lot of bitcoin, and I just let it run for

491
00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:12.519
a few months, and I was
like, how many bitcoins do I have?

492
00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:17.039
Zero? This is dumb? What
it just I mean, I maybe

493
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:20.639
not even a few months. But
what makes me mad is that I was

494
00:43:20.840 --> 00:43:24.960
fully aware of bitcoin. And I
mean if I had bought twenty dollars with

495
00:43:25.079 --> 00:43:30.719
a bitcoin, then we'd have a
much nicer studio. Now. Well,

496
00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:34.199
that's that's what's weird about it to
me, like, because I feel like

497
00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:37.159
I was in the same boat,
but I had heard the stories of people

498
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:42.599
letting these things run and run and
run and not getting like anything out of

499
00:43:42.679 --> 00:43:46.159
it. It's I mean, it
is even even during the halcyon days of

500
00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:52.679
bitcoin mining, it is an extraordinarily
time consuming and process or consuming project.

501
00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:55.840
And the client that I used was
like, you know, kind of like

502
00:43:55.960 --> 00:43:59.400
a thing, you know, it's
like that setti at home. It's one

503
00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:04.000
was running the Browns kind of things, and it wasn't really pushing the boundaries

504
00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:08.000
of anything. So um, I
mean it would be it would delight me

505
00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:12.119
to find out that I had somehow
mined up some bitcoin and it was just

506
00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:16.199
loitering somewhere. But but nowadays it
is actually used as currency, right,

507
00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:22.280
Oh yeah, because I've seen websites
that are like, we accept PayPal and

508
00:44:22.360 --> 00:44:28.599
bitcoin. It's like, what is
bitcoin catching on? Really? That's what

509
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:30.599
That's how I every time I see
it. Oh man, Now, I

510
00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:35.599
mean literally, if I had bought
twenty dollars a bitcoin, then it would

511
00:44:35.599 --> 00:44:38.000
be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars
now really? Yeah? How? How

512
00:44:38.360 --> 00:44:45.679
when was this early? Oh nine? Huh? Yeah? The the exchange

513
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:50.039
rate, I mean you could bitcoins
were going for you know, twenty five

514
00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:54.320
thirty cents each or something or even
less, and now they're I mean the

515
00:44:54.440 --> 00:45:02.960
last I knew, um, hold
on right now, a single bitcoin is

516
00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:07.480
worth five hundred and eighty nine dollars. Shit. Oh and that's that's not

517
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:13.360
even the newest. I mean,
it was worth more than that. That's

518
00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:19.840
fucking bullshit. So let's see here, it's a made up thing. How

519
00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:22.400
How does this? How how does
this work? How is that supposed to

520
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:27.199
work at all? In the economic
scheme of things. I'm just gonna make

521
00:45:27.320 --> 00:45:30.920
up a currency and if enough people
start using it, then it becomes worth

522
00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:37.599
hundreds of dollars. Yeah, that's
pretty much it. Yeah. In um

523
00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:45.440
October of nine, one dollar was
equal to one thousand three hundred and nine

524
00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:52.599
bitcoins, so twenty dollars. Yep, it's twelve million, two hundred and

525
00:45:52.599 --> 00:46:00.840
sixty thousand dollars. Woof Jesus.
But the catch though, right, yeah,

526
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:05.320
they where can you use them?
Right? Well? You can use

527
00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:07.000
them. I mean there was there
was a time there was a real big

528
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:13.159
run on bitcoins about a year ago, and there was a few big investment

529
00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:16.679
banks were just buying them out like
crazy. The problem is is, like

530
00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:22.239
where would you You would have twelve
million dollars right in bitcoins. If you

531
00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:27.039
sold all of those, you would
flood the market. The price would drop

532
00:46:27.159 --> 00:46:30.800
like crazy, like so that's that's
kind of a kind of a false number.

533
00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:35.960
If you if I suddenly dropped twenty
thousand bitcoins on the market for sale,

534
00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:39.480
the price would go to the floor
instantly. If you sold them as

535
00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:43.320
stocks though, right you know if
I still I mean, they're not stocks,

536
00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:45.679
they're they're they're just currency. But
I could the best the best I

537
00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:52.079
could do was to convert them into
other tangible goods and sell them or slowly

538
00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:55.519
sell them over time. But either
way, I just don't understand why you

539
00:46:55.559 --> 00:47:00.400
would sell the bitcoins as opposed to
all using them as well, I mean

540
00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:07.280
because currency is still more I mean
US dollars is still way more useful than

541
00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:12.360
bitcoin. So are they like Paco's. Then does it cost like a thousand

542
00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:16.320
bitcoins to buy a coke? Oh? No, nowadays. If you I

543
00:47:16.400 --> 00:47:19.280
mean, if you found a place
that took them, you want to buy

544
00:47:19.280 --> 00:47:23.559
a flat screen TV? I do, okay, So that's I don't two

545
00:47:23.639 --> 00:47:27.840
bitcoins. I mean lots of things
like and it comes down to like,

546
00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:31.119
oh, that's point zero ninety three
bitcoins and it's wildly fluctuating. And that's

547
00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:35.800
why everyone talks about bitcoin because it
is has anybody done this? Then?

548
00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:39.559
Oh? Yeah? Are there are
there bitcoin billionaires out there? There's bitcoin

549
00:47:39.760 --> 00:47:44.239
millionaires. I'm sure I know that. They mean how many build stories,

550
00:47:44.760 --> 00:47:47.840
builds, how many buildos in bitcoins? There's a there's a number of stories

551
00:47:47.840 --> 00:47:51.559
about guys who are like, oh, I just bought like five dollars in

552
00:47:51.639 --> 00:47:53.360
bitcoins in twenty ten just to see
what it was like. And then they're

553
00:47:53.400 --> 00:47:57.519
like, oh, congratulations, here's
your check for seven hundred thousand dollars.

554
00:47:57.599 --> 00:48:04.519
You know, like who doesn't work? It does? But that's that is

555
00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:09.159
the huge question. There is so
much speculation about who in no one even

556
00:48:09.239 --> 00:48:14.920
knows who made bitcoin first of all, DARPA to what end is it?

557
00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:19.239
Is it a giant, huge scam, yes, by the people who did

558
00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:22.320
it not to be. But that's
the thing. There's so many there's so

559
00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:25.440
much pressure on economic systems to be
on the front runner of some kind of

560
00:48:25.519 --> 00:48:30.519
thing. Because now it's not just
bitcoin, there's bitcoin, lighting coin,

561
00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:37.559
dogecoin, that's real, that funded
the Jamaican bobsled team. I mean,

562
00:48:37.639 --> 00:48:42.159
there's so many weird things out there
that there's a lot of cool much running.

563
00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:45.440
Yeah, you and everybody else on
Imger and reddit and go to hell

564
00:48:46.960 --> 00:48:52.199
um, there's uh, there's there's
so much pressure to to to exploit these

565
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:57.280
systems as they arise that to a
degree, no one cares if it's real.

566
00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:00.639
It's it's such such a weird system
that I mean, I don't know,

567
00:49:01.519 --> 00:49:06.159
I don't get it. And bitcoin's
boring. Moving on, the DARPA

568
00:49:06.239 --> 00:49:09.719
made bitcoins to control your mind and
get us ready for reptile insemination. They've

569
00:49:09.719 --> 00:49:15.039
done it. They've insinced me beyond
belief, all right, twenty dollars shut

570
00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:20.360
up to twelve a million. You
know, I don't know if I would

571
00:49:20.360 --> 00:49:22.360
have paid money for it, though
I probably would have done what you did

572
00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:25.519
and let it try mine. But
I mean, all that's doing is like

573
00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:30.280
adding to the evil supercomputer's processing power. It's not doing anything else. And

574
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:35.920
here's the other fun factoid is that
when I think about it, it's not

575
00:49:36.079 --> 00:49:39.000
I don't even know. If I
would have been able to buy twenty thousand

576
00:49:39.119 --> 00:49:43.280
bitcoins off the market, then I
would have worked in reverse. It would

577
00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:45.480
have shot the price up. I
mean, oh, now one dollar only

578
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:49.719
gets me five hundred bitcoins, you
know, or something like that. But

579
00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:52.599
I don't I don't know that there
was that much bitcoin in one place because

580
00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:57.719
of the manner in which it was
mined. There was never like Scrooge McDuck's

581
00:49:57.800 --> 00:50:00.280
vault. It was always spread over
thousand of people. Yeah, so I

582
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:02.639
would have to have gone through and
be like, can I have your bitcoins?

583
00:50:02.719 --> 00:50:06.440
Can I buy your bitcoins? Yeah? It still doesn't make me for

584
00:50:06.719 --> 00:50:10.039
and having done that, if I
hit a crude twenty thousand bitcoins, which

585
00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:13.280
at the time, I don't know
what percentage that would be of the total

586
00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:19.679
pool of available bitcoins, would I
killed it by by concentrating it all in

587
00:50:19.800 --> 00:50:22.360
one spot. I don't know.
There's got to be people who tried though,

588
00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:25.519
right, There's got to be people
who were like, I've got to

589
00:50:25.519 --> 00:50:30.679
be on the front edge of this. So in case they're worth twelve million

590
00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:36.320
damn milldows later four or five years
from now, maybe maybe they're out there

591
00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:40.239
to put a twenty in there.
And there's some complete insufferable douchebag smoking clove

592
00:50:40.280 --> 00:50:45.039
cigarettes going, yeah, I just
bought like a bunch of bitcoins when it

593
00:50:45.159 --> 00:50:51.480
was smart. I'm hoping they'll return
a sweet mildow. All right, let's

594
00:50:51.519 --> 00:50:57.960
move on, and I'm buying you
a bitcoin. I'm gonna buy you a

595
00:50:58.039 --> 00:51:00.320
fraction of a bitcoin for your birthday. Don't go, you know what,

596
00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:07.800
as soon as it gets in my
hands, priced your rock, you're totally

597
00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:14.719
gonna find a way to do it. Oh all right, Um, let's

598
00:51:14.760 --> 00:51:17.800
talk about HARP real quick. Oh
yeah, this is something actually I'd like

599
00:51:17.920 --> 00:51:22.079
to do a whole episode on,
so I'm not gonna gonna tell you too

600
00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:29.239
much. But HARP is h ARP, the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program.

601
00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:35.239
It's located in Alaska. I think
that's come up before. It is

602
00:51:35.360 --> 00:51:42.519
a huge array of what are they
towers in a grid pattern that are all

603
00:51:42.599 --> 00:51:47.360
pointed up to the sky and what
what it does? It shoots beams into

604
00:51:47.440 --> 00:51:52.800
the ionosphere in order to heat it
up and research that. And this was

605
00:51:53.159 --> 00:51:57.800
this came up before in an episode. This came up on our Cat Trails

606
00:51:57.960 --> 00:52:02.480
episode. Yeah, I think we
might have mentioned it in the Sky Sounds

607
00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:07.119
the Strange Sounds, and we also
I think we also mentioned it in our

608
00:52:07.559 --> 00:52:13.480
so we've already done harm. No, we also mentioned it in our ghost

609
00:52:13.519 --> 00:52:16.559
Stories episode. But you were just
really drunk, that's right. It had

610
00:52:16.639 --> 00:52:20.599
no place there. I had tried
to buy a bitcoin it failed. I

611
00:52:20.719 --> 00:52:23.239
got depressed. I cannot wait.
All right, it's your birth bit card.

612
00:52:23.239 --> 00:52:27.760
You're gonna open it, and it's
gonna be like point zero zero zero

613
00:52:27.920 --> 00:52:34.519
eight nine bit coins. By that
time, I'll probably owe four people like

614
00:52:34.599 --> 00:52:37.239
you just made me pay twenty bucks. I am so gonna figure that out.

615
00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:45.199
So harp Is is a popular conspiracy
thing because people think since it's kind

616
00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:47.639
of closed off, it's up there
in Alaska, kind of in the middle

617
00:52:47.639 --> 00:52:53.119
of nowhere, and they're they're doing
stuff to the ionosphere which nobody knows about.

618
00:52:53.400 --> 00:52:58.159
Right, gotta be bad. Can't
be bad? It causes earthquakes,

619
00:52:58.840 --> 00:53:04.239
that it's an earthquake machine. It's
a um a bad weather modification system.

620
00:53:04.599 --> 00:53:10.599
They cause tsunamis, they cause storms, tornadoes, yep, they cause hurricanes.

621
00:53:12.320 --> 00:53:15.719
They're responsible for liberal legislation. That's
right. That's right. They're responsible

622
00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:20.519
for taking your guns away and your
god. And they've also, um,

623
00:53:21.039 --> 00:53:24.000
well, I'm gonna tell you right
now, they've poisoned all fresh water supply

624
00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:28.519
on the planet. There's there's there's
one thing. No, I can't even

625
00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:31.159
think of anything to do. It's
too late for America one one. Wait

626
00:53:31.239 --> 00:53:37.239
a minute, it's just crazy enough
to work. Buy my water filters.

627
00:53:42.159 --> 00:53:44.360
So now I gotta tell you,
I gotta I got one condition. You

628
00:53:44.440 --> 00:53:50.599
can only buy this water filter if
you love your family. If you don't,

629
00:53:51.280 --> 00:53:55.400
well, I got coloidal silver.
It's cooloidal silver. Um. Harp

630
00:53:55.599 --> 00:53:59.880
was actually shut down this year.
Did you hear this. No, it's

631
00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:05.840
it's been shut down because they're between
contractors. Oh yeah, so the people

632
00:54:05.880 --> 00:54:08.960
at the helm switching out. It's
the night nights shift switch. I would

633
00:54:08.960 --> 00:54:13.800
love to believe that it's like that
weird and ratchet switch from like Star Star

634
00:54:13.880 --> 00:54:21.960
Wars and he goes, so Harp. I think we'll try and touch on

635
00:54:22.079 --> 00:54:25.639
that in a future episode in detail, but that that's connected to old derepa.

636
00:54:27.280 --> 00:54:31.239
Well we've got a little grab bag
here. Uh, mind control one

637
00:54:31.559 --> 00:54:35.519
room, room, room, room, room. Now, how are they

638
00:54:35.559 --> 00:54:37.639
gonna control your mind? Well,
they've got a bunch of different things.

639
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:43.280
They can do, so many,
so many options. Uh, they may

640
00:54:43.360 --> 00:54:49.039
be working working up some old brain
chips. Oh yeah, they're gonna shove

641
00:54:49.119 --> 00:54:52.039
into everybody. Yep, I got, I got, I got the I

642
00:54:52.159 --> 00:54:54.440
got the public version of that,
the part they want you to believe.

643
00:54:57.880 --> 00:55:01.840
There's also the thought that they are
reponsible for some Manchurian candidates maybe yep.

644
00:55:02.199 --> 00:55:07.039
I mean that's thrown in about everything
that you when you talk about the mind.

645
00:55:07.199 --> 00:55:07.960
Yeah, but it which is so
weird. I mean, of all

646
00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:16.639
the things to manipulate, why Chinese
elections, they want to be able to

647
00:55:16.840 --> 00:55:22.760
implant false memories perhaps, Oh yeah. And ultimately they want to track all

648
00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:32.079
human activity, track all humans.
I don't have to get a taser or

649
00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:39.960
something. They must be tracked.
Yeah, they want to track all all

650
00:55:40.079 --> 00:55:46.280
human activity that goes back to you
know, another Illuminati deal or the global

651
00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:52.639
elite. Yeah. Oh man,
And there's no hiding from them. The

652
00:55:52.800 --> 00:55:58.480
scary thing is I'll get to this
probably in the next round, but it's

653
00:55:58.599 --> 00:56:05.679
it's sort of happening those CCTVs.
Everywhere there's there's drones laced with cameras.

654
00:56:06.400 --> 00:56:10.320
We're getting facial recognition software. A
fun fact unrelated to this, I mean

655
00:56:10.519 --> 00:56:15.760
to DARP at least, but um, there was actually a fashion show in

656
00:56:16.039 --> 00:56:20.039
It was in Europe. It was
either in London or Paris. Maybe it

657
00:56:20.159 --> 00:56:25.440
was in the lawn. But what
it was it was someone had designed clothes

658
00:56:25.639 --> 00:56:34.880
and makeup whose sole purpose it was
to completely goff recognition software. Nice and

659
00:56:35.039 --> 00:56:38.440
so it was like the way like
the clothes had all these weird lines in

660
00:56:38.559 --> 00:56:44.199
them that didn't necessarily equate to physically
how a person was. It was like

661
00:56:44.920 --> 00:56:50.400
it was like digital camouflage and cameras
and photo receptors had a hard time discerning

662
00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:53.920
what the hell they were singing.
And the makeup was like, I mean,

663
00:56:54.320 --> 00:56:58.800
it was really blade runnery looking at
there's like black lines across the face,

664
00:56:58.960 --> 00:57:05.199
and and it was all designed to
completely thwart facial recognition. Interesting.

665
00:57:05.599 --> 00:57:09.559
Well, yeah, scientific world impacting
the fashion world, that's right, Which

666
00:57:09.639 --> 00:57:14.039
is kind of an irony because I
always thought that people who dressed fashionably kind

667
00:57:14.039 --> 00:57:16.519
of wanted their picture taken. Yeah, but they don't want to be tracked.

668
00:57:19.159 --> 00:57:31.679
Track all human bioengineering, Oh yep, are responsible man apes, human

669
00:57:31.800 --> 00:57:37.360
zies, human zies, things like
that Flora question. If it was possible,

670
00:57:38.119 --> 00:57:43.719
would you have your left hand instead
of like a normal five fingered human

671
00:57:43.760 --> 00:57:46.039
hand, you still have five appendages? They all I mean even just sitting

672
00:57:46.039 --> 00:57:50.519
on a desk. No one could
tell the difference. But they're all tentacles.

673
00:57:52.280 --> 00:57:55.239
Would you do that? Would you
have your hand turned into tentacle hand?

674
00:57:55.960 --> 00:58:04.360
I would? I totally would.
You're such a free I told you

675
00:58:04.480 --> 00:58:07.920
I was freaking baby. No,
I don't go for tentacles. Well,

676
00:58:08.199 --> 00:58:12.519
sorry, love, I'm not doing
it for you, dude. Um.

677
00:58:13.599 --> 00:58:17.239
Yeah, they could possibly be making
super soldiers right now. They are,

678
00:58:17.519 --> 00:58:20.719
they're working on it. They are
working on well. I mean, I

679
00:58:20.760 --> 00:58:24.159
don't know do we define super soldiers? Do you mean like like um Captain

680
00:58:24.199 --> 00:58:30.400
in America super soldiers M serrium?
I don't think it's serum more than genetic

681
00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:37.559
manipulation. Um. But they're they're
trying to make it to wear soldiers and

682
00:58:37.840 --> 00:58:40.199
don't sleep or they don't need food. Oh yeah, I'm gonna get that,

683
00:58:40.920 --> 00:58:45.800
which is great this is a I
mean, your part's the conspiracy part.

684
00:58:45.400 --> 00:58:49.920
My part is the list of projects. And right here we just met

685
00:58:49.960 --> 00:58:54.639
a nexus. Because it's not a
conspiracy, they absolutely are doing that crazy.

686
00:58:55.000 --> 00:58:59.400
Yeah, that's I'll go in a
little more detail on that. Okay,

687
00:58:59.480 --> 00:59:01.639
then I'll stopped talking on that one. So I got one more here

688
00:59:02.480 --> 00:59:08.960
to round us out to some carezy
stuff. The darpest responsible for maybe Project

689
00:59:09.039 --> 00:59:14.840
Pegasus. Oh I love this.
Project Pegasus was a program that begun in

690
00:59:15.000 --> 00:59:22.960
nineteen sixty eight where DARPA achieved time
and space travel to perform quote remote sensing

691
00:59:22.320 --> 00:59:28.079
in time. Yeah to quote,
this would give the US intelligence on past

692
00:59:28.199 --> 00:59:31.519
and future events. Do you have
what it takes to join the United States

693
00:59:31.639 --> 00:59:37.599
Chrono Knot Force if you're a school
children? The answer is yes. One

694
00:59:37.679 --> 00:59:45.480
hundred and forty school children were secretly
chosen as Chrono knots and sent places in

695
00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:51.360
space and time. I'm luck Brinkman, and if you want to be a

696
00:59:51.440 --> 00:59:55.199
chrono nut like me, you're gonna
have to eat dentymore baked beans, the

697
00:59:55.320 --> 01:00:00.360
only beans with real vitamins to fortify
your strength, and don't forget to eat

698
01:00:00.480 --> 01:00:07.920
plenty of light bread. I'm less
master man. Do you like cigarettes?

699
01:00:07.440 --> 01:00:12.719
Boy? I knew you would.
How about a nice gest you feel?

700
01:00:13.159 --> 01:00:22.280
Yeah, goes great with my soda
boy brand beverage, Luck Brinkman and less

701
01:00:22.400 --> 01:00:30.960
master Man Chrono Nuts. Well there's
another podcast, damn it. It's all

702
01:00:31.079 --> 01:00:37.960
advertisement. Yeah. Um, so
these kids were sent places in space and

703
01:00:38.159 --> 01:00:45.480
time such as Mars, where apparently
a US bass exists. Uh, and

704
01:00:45.320 --> 01:00:51.920
Gettysburg for Lincoln's address. That's where
these these kids got to experience. What

705
01:00:52.039 --> 01:00:59.760
about how about that two men right
now currently no are currently leading the charge

706
01:00:59.760 --> 01:01:05.960
as whistle blowers, the names Andrew
Boziago and William Stillings. Was there ever

707
01:01:06.039 --> 01:01:10.199
anyone famous in America's top secret chrono
core, say perhaps in the early eighties.

708
01:01:10.679 --> 01:01:20.360
Apparently one of the visitors that that
got teleported to Mars went by the

709
01:01:20.480 --> 01:01:28.639
name Barrack Obama. Uh do I
get that rain? That's right, Barrick

710
01:01:29.360 --> 01:01:37.000
Obama, Obama, Barack. Oh
freaking Obama Barack. Who's saying Obama?

711
01:01:38.199 --> 01:01:45.440
Yeah? Rono dude. In the
eighties, he was getting with the Martian

712
01:01:45.639 --> 01:01:51.079
ladies. This is what Boziago claims
in a book that you can buy with

713
01:01:51.239 --> 01:01:58.440
your bitcoins point six six point zero
zero zero six eight bitcoins. Um.

714
01:01:58.800 --> 01:02:02.239
Yeah, it's like a pamphlet written
by a madman. So so that's Project

715
01:02:02.320 --> 01:02:07.519
Pegasus. Yeah. We could probably
go into much detail on that, but

716
01:02:07.719 --> 01:02:10.760
I haven't read the book by mister
Botant. You don't want to jump onto

717
01:02:10.760 --> 01:02:17.199
that without all the facts. So, um so there's there's some conspiracy stuff

718
01:02:17.320 --> 01:02:21.079
DARPA's working on. Be careful you. I mean, you know what though,

719
01:02:21.119 --> 01:02:22.599
of all the things that we've talked
about with conspiracies, like, this

720
01:02:22.800 --> 01:02:27.960
is the one I least blame people
for. I mean, it's highly secretive

721
01:02:27.960 --> 01:02:32.119
they're doing. Even MKA Ultra.
Yeah, I blame people the least for

722
01:02:32.480 --> 01:02:36.440
being because well, first of all, m KA Ultra wasn't like that was

723
01:02:36.480 --> 01:02:43.079
just true. There's no like.
Uh but DARPA, I don't blame anybody

724
01:02:43.119 --> 01:02:49.519
for thinking they're doing everything. I
mean, sending sending Barack Obama to Mars

725
01:02:49.599 --> 01:02:52.800
in the early eighties. Okay,
that's a little weird. But but nonetheless,

726
01:02:52.880 --> 01:02:55.440
you know, like I get it. This is this is if you're

727
01:02:55.480 --> 01:03:00.000
gonna if you're gonna grow a conspiracy
flower, this is the soil you need

728
01:03:00.039 --> 01:03:04.360
to put the seed in. Um. So, let's go over some of

729
01:03:04.400 --> 01:03:07.079
their their projects. This is some
of their confirmed like they'll they're happy to

730
01:03:07.199 --> 01:03:12.039
talk to you about it projects right, Um, as you said, brain

731
01:03:12.159 --> 01:03:20.519
inputs what they call subnets, system
based neurotechnology for emergency therapies. Emergency therapy

732
01:03:20.639 --> 01:03:22.960
being if you don't listen to us, we'll put your ass down. Well

733
01:03:23.079 --> 01:03:28.000
what they what they envision of it? They absolutely no secret. They're like,

734
01:03:28.079 --> 01:03:30.920
yeah, we think if we put
these UM electrodes in your brain,

735
01:03:31.199 --> 01:03:35.559
we can keep a soldier from sleeping, but keep them fully operational. I

736
01:03:35.639 --> 01:03:37.360
think we can do that. Another
part of it they're talking about, it's

737
01:03:37.840 --> 01:03:43.480
therapies for PTSD. Oh yeah,
yeah, get your at home kit m

738
01:03:43.960 --> 01:03:45.440
um. Yeah, so they've got
and they have a few different projects that

739
01:03:45.480 --> 01:03:52.079
are all working under this. Um
uh this this SUBNETS thing. Um you

740
01:03:52.159 --> 01:03:59.159
also mentioned, uh direct nerve interface
for amputees. Uh. These are these

741
01:03:59.199 --> 01:04:04.079
are prosthetically limbs that are that are
controlled by my neural impulse, just the

742
01:04:04.159 --> 01:04:08.199
same way you control your arm.
And in some cases they're even able to

743
01:04:09.639 --> 01:04:15.960
give tactical sensation. Yeah, they're
they're able to return some kind of sensation

744
01:04:16.119 --> 01:04:20.199
back to the user, which is
amazing. And there are people who are

745
01:04:20.280 --> 01:04:25.159
running around with these things on right
now. I mean that is awesome.

746
01:04:25.559 --> 01:04:29.320
That's a that's in the good column. I would say, Um, you

747
01:04:29.480 --> 01:04:36.280
mentioned hydrae uh. Hydra is a
very real project they're working on. And

748
01:04:36.400 --> 01:04:44.639
what it is is an enormous underwater
infrastructure system that includes supplies, munitions,

749
01:04:45.159 --> 01:04:50.440
drones, all kept underwater globally for
rapid deployment, ready to deploy a moon's

750
01:04:50.519 --> 01:04:58.400
notice. Yep, float up to
the surface. You talked about Boston Dynamics,

751
01:04:58.519 --> 01:05:00.840
I did, Yep, that's the
one, and lots of DARPA funding

752
01:05:00.960 --> 01:05:04.440
tons of work on um what I
call like robotic mules. I think they

753
01:05:04.480 --> 01:05:08.840
actually call it the Puma maybe,
yeah, some cat name. Yeah.

754
01:05:09.079 --> 01:05:12.519
It's like a little box with stick
legs, and it's yeah, terrifying and

755
01:05:12.599 --> 01:05:15.079
it is. It's very weird to
watch it movie. Everyone's seen the videos

756
01:05:15.119 --> 01:05:18.719
of it. But it's it's designed
to have a flatbed, that's what That's

757
01:05:18.760 --> 01:05:21.119
why it looks like a box with
legs. I mean, it's designed to

758
01:05:21.199 --> 01:05:28.000
carry cargo over uneven ground. UM. Also, and Google bottom up.

759
01:05:28.039 --> 01:05:33.440
Google has spent the last year buying
up robotics research company after company. They've

760
01:05:33.480 --> 01:05:38.000
been buying a ton of them up
and they are not accepting They will complete

761
01:05:38.039 --> 01:05:41.920
all current military contracts, but they're
not accepting further ones, and that includes

762
01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:46.320
they are accepting bitcoin. Jesus,
let it let it go. Yeah,

763
01:05:47.079 --> 01:05:53.840
bloody hand the bloody fast advise and
how are man? That's cool that that

764
01:05:53.920 --> 01:05:59.840
would make an awesome shirt, just
says DARPA. And it's a bleeding fast,

765
01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:03.840
drunk Satan robot. Yeah, yeah, no doubt. UM. But

766
01:06:03.960 --> 01:06:10.039
they another one that they had that
was also bought by Google. UM was

767
01:06:10.119 --> 01:06:13.519
called the Atlas, and there's plenty
of footage of this online. This was

768
01:06:13.559 --> 01:06:17.880
a bipedal Hammad shape and it's a
man shaped robot that they were saying where

769
01:06:17.880 --> 01:06:21.920
they were going to use as a
disaster response robot. You could send it

770
01:06:23.000 --> 01:06:27.840
into a broken terrain to look for
survivors and things like that. You could

771
01:06:27.840 --> 01:06:33.199
also send it into broken marriages and
it would woods a mass Listen to yourselves.

772
01:06:33.840 --> 01:06:41.880
I'm hearing a lot of emotion right
now. You use the following format

773
01:06:42.480 --> 01:06:51.400
when you blank, I feel blank. Also mentioned UH trying to come up

774
01:06:51.400 --> 01:07:00.559
with the next generation of navigational systems
that don't involve satellites that aren't required GPS

775
01:07:00.639 --> 01:07:06.639
as we currently know it. They're
using atomic fluctuations UM they're using things like

776
01:07:06.880 --> 01:07:14.440
lightning strikes. Um, very minute
variations in the magnetic uh pole polarity of

777
01:07:14.480 --> 01:07:18.960
the earth, which is hard because
it's moving right now. Um uh yeah,

778
01:07:19.079 --> 01:07:23.159
just amazing things like that. They
have, Uh, how about a

779
01:07:23.320 --> 01:07:30.639
guided fifty caliber sniper round. This
motherfucker can make a ninety degree turn about

780
01:07:31.039 --> 01:07:34.400
This is yeah, this is it's
the fifth element. It's what it is.

781
01:07:34.519 --> 01:07:38.480
It really is. Uh and you
can you can, you can google

782
01:07:38.519 --> 01:07:42.599
this and there's videos online of their
test footage. And that's again, it's

783
01:07:42.719 --> 01:07:45.360
terrifying. This is the part they're
letting us see, right. But you

784
01:07:45.440 --> 01:07:48.599
know what I got. I got
some news for you, Darba. Leave

785
01:07:48.639 --> 01:07:54.519
the camera rolling a little longer.
Every time that thing like turned and went

786
01:07:54.559 --> 01:07:57.280
towards its target, it would kick
off and go to the next like.

787
01:07:57.519 --> 01:08:00.440
Well, I think that that's when
it presumably hit it. I want to

788
01:08:00.480 --> 01:08:02.159
see it hit Oh man, maybe
it didn't. Maybe that's what they don't

789
01:08:02.159 --> 01:08:05.000
want to show you. Hey,
what's the what's the acronym for that one?

790
01:08:05.159 --> 01:08:11.400
I'd rather hear you say it.
Uh it is exact. Oh yeah,

791
01:08:11.599 --> 01:08:19.520
the extreme Accuracy tasked ordinance boom these
and there. Oh they're so good

792
01:08:19.560 --> 01:08:24.880
at it. They're so good at
it exact. How about the X thirty

793
01:08:24.960 --> 01:08:34.680
seven B Yeah, yeah, uh
it's it's uh, it's darp AS space

794
01:08:34.760 --> 01:08:38.920
plane. I call it the DARPA
Dark Yeah. Do you call it that

795
01:08:39.079 --> 01:08:42.640
or debate? Is it da art? I can see it. I call

796
01:08:42.720 --> 01:08:49.319
it dynamic aeronautic. Yeah, they
should transfer the do um, but it

797
01:08:49.479 --> 01:08:53.119
is. It's like a function.
It's like a flattened cone. Should have

798
01:08:53.159 --> 01:08:57.840
said transport. But here's the squirrely
thing about it. It's made from squirrels.

799
01:09:00.600 --> 01:09:10.680
It runs purely on sporel age.
So again, DARPA cannot be funded.

800
01:09:10.800 --> 01:09:15.560
No, no requisitions will be funded
will without a direct military benefit.

801
01:09:15.840 --> 01:09:18.840
That's still in effect. Yep.
And DARPA's got this thing, this uh,

802
01:09:18.920 --> 01:09:25.439
this X thirty seven B H space
plane. This thing spent over five

803
01:09:25.600 --> 01:09:29.720
hundred days in continuous orbit over the
planet. Wow, you know what they

804
01:09:29.720 --> 01:09:34.239
were doing up there, jerking off? Nobody knows. It's completely classified.

805
01:09:34.359 --> 01:09:39.479
No one knows what it was doing
up there for over acking year, almost

806
01:09:39.520 --> 01:09:45.439
two years. It just sat up
there, sitting and spinning. It was

807
01:09:45.159 --> 01:09:49.680
the Black Knight satellite probably um.
So that's a fun, weird mystery.

808
01:09:50.439 --> 01:09:59.159
How about molten metal projectiles. This
is a metal projectile. You fire it

809
01:10:00.039 --> 01:10:04.960
and the moment it launches, the
metal component of it completely liquefies. It's

810
01:10:05.000 --> 01:10:08.880
got to be some oxidation, right, like, I don't know, some

811
01:10:09.079 --> 01:10:13.039
kind of chemical reaction with the air, and as it flies it is ero

812
01:10:13.199 --> 01:10:18.159
They it's called aerodynamic forging. It
is actually the motion through the air that

813
01:10:18.279 --> 01:10:24.640
cools it, that forms it into
a perfect aerodynamic point. Wow. Yeah,

814
01:10:25.279 --> 01:10:30.039
and then blam and then it's your
ass. Yeah. Yeah. The

815
01:10:30.159 --> 01:10:32.640
last thing I want to talk about
really briefly here, how about this gravity

816
01:10:32.800 --> 01:10:42.199
anomaly mapping? When the order comes
down to track all humans hiding underground won't

817
01:10:42.279 --> 01:10:47.640
help you because they actually have been
working on technology with instruments so precise they

818
01:10:47.720 --> 01:10:55.560
can go over an area and using
that they can determine any gravimetric anomalies and

819
01:10:55.800 --> 01:10:59.840
buy that make an entire map of
all below ground caverns in an area.

820
01:11:00.239 --> 01:11:05.520
Disgusting, awesome, absolutely awesome,
Flora. I don't know why you're so

821
01:11:05.640 --> 01:11:09.960
against this. I think we just
let them have the robots, let them

822
01:11:10.039 --> 01:11:15.960
have the AI, and nothing bad
can happen. Stop crying. Are you

823
01:11:15.039 --> 01:11:23.560
gonna leave that eye patch on the
whole podcast? You know what you know,

824
01:11:23.640 --> 01:11:31.399
all cheer you up, Flora.
What my my my my my,

825
01:11:31.680 --> 01:11:41.000
my my my my. Oh man, we've got dueling lightning rounds. Yeah

826
01:11:41.079 --> 01:11:45.960
we do. What's it gonna be? Well, Um, we're gonna go.

827
01:11:45.119 --> 01:11:47.960
We're just gonna go back and forth. Huh little tennis match of a

828
01:11:48.159 --> 01:11:53.199
I like it. I like it. Volley. Uh you serve all right?

829
01:11:53.399 --> 01:11:56.399
Hit me up with some hot crazy
Uh, first one, I've gotten

830
01:11:56.439 --> 01:12:00.199
the old lightning round. These are
again, these are projects that Darpe is

831
01:12:00.760 --> 01:12:06.119
currently working on or has just recently
worked on. RAM Project RAM R a

832
01:12:06.479 --> 01:12:14.760
M. The Restoring Active Memory.
Oh yeah, implants neuroprosthetics, they call

833
01:12:14.840 --> 01:12:19.840
it, to help overcome memory deficits
that occur from either trauma or disease.

834
01:12:20.399 --> 01:12:25.840
They're implants that go in your old
morayon and they help you, you know,

835
01:12:25.960 --> 01:12:30.319
make up for missed memories that you
might not have any more. Weird.

836
01:12:30.520 --> 01:12:36.199
I love it. How about this? The XO S three combat exoskeleton

837
01:12:36.319 --> 01:12:42.800
made by Raytheon Corporation. The only
exoskeleton made exclusively for a combat. This

838
01:12:42.960 --> 01:12:46.600
thing will allow a soldier to lift
up to two hundred pounds and also,

839
01:12:47.079 --> 01:12:50.840
further down the line, they want
this thing to be an exoskeleton that a

840
01:12:50.960 --> 01:12:57.520
human could step out of, and
then that exoskeleton just keeps on trucking autonomous

841
01:12:57.920 --> 01:13:02.319
in future designs. Tony Star,
I know, right, like a super

842
01:13:02.439 --> 01:13:04.880
lame Iron Man. It's a matter
of fact, if you look online you

843
01:13:04.920 --> 01:13:10.800
can find an old version of it. It's the the xos two that Raytheon

844
01:13:11.159 --> 01:13:16.000
not wanting to miss an opportunity for
good pr back in say twenty twelve,

845
01:13:16.319 --> 01:13:21.039
they got Agent Colson. They got
the actor who plays Agent Colson to come

846
01:13:21.079 --> 01:13:25.159
on down to Raytheon town and put
this exoskeleton on and run a mucked for

847
01:13:25.159 --> 01:13:30.600
a little while. Wow. Yeah, product hye ins man. I'm glad

848
01:13:30.640 --> 01:13:33.800
they got it at least working where
it you know, didn't crush crush a

849
01:13:34.000 --> 01:13:39.399
person. There's like a big pile
of debris that they had all the people

850
01:13:39.439 --> 01:13:45.680
that got crushed behind them on the
pile. All right, how about the

851
01:13:45.880 --> 01:13:53.039
z Man. These are handheld Gecko
inspired paddles to climb on glass. Oh

852
01:13:53.199 --> 01:13:59.000
yeah, it's a thing like did
you ever see the Last Mission Impossible?

853
01:13:59.439 --> 01:14:02.039
Yeah, had the flexi gloves.
Yeah, he had the gloves and he

854
01:14:02.199 --> 01:14:05.800
climbed up the outside of that building
with them. Those were cool. It's

855
01:14:05.840 --> 01:14:11.479
not quite that, but it's the
same idea these are. It's not in

856
01:14:11.560 --> 01:14:15.439
glove form yet, it's in paddle
form, so it's not as cool,

857
01:14:16.079 --> 01:14:25.800
but yeah, z man, all
right, how about robot and or cyborg

858
01:14:25.960 --> 01:14:31.600
insects. I mean, they worked
so hard to make smaller and smaller drones.

859
01:14:31.960 --> 01:14:35.319
Their current tiny drone is like six
inches long and they painted it to

860
01:14:35.359 --> 01:14:42.119
look like a shitty humming bird.
But they want to make insect size robotic

861
01:14:42.199 --> 01:14:45.079
drones. The problems, yeah,
the problem is power systems. You know,

862
01:14:45.119 --> 01:14:47.319
how do you keep it? You
know, those these super tiny ones,

863
01:14:47.359 --> 01:14:49.399
they can only keep them in the
air for like three minutes before they

864
01:14:49.479 --> 01:14:53.239
run out of juice because we don't
have very good batteries for them. And

865
01:14:53.319 --> 01:14:56.399
then somebody said, well, you
know what's really good at that flying that's

866
01:14:56.439 --> 01:15:01.720
that size real fucking insects. So
they actually and you can go online and

867
01:15:01.880 --> 01:15:08.760
buy a kit so that you can
make a remote control cockroach. Oh yeah,

868
01:15:09.760 --> 01:15:14.359
um, And so they're working on
this. They're they're attaching electronics to

869
01:15:15.039 --> 01:15:19.279
insects and they can actually, yeah, they can. They can affect their

870
01:15:19.319 --> 01:15:23.680
behavior, they can, they can
control them. You can. You can

871
01:15:23.800 --> 01:15:27.479
buy a kit online you get scared
with so many girls. Oh yeah,

872
01:15:27.640 --> 01:15:32.640
with instructions on how to make a
remote controlled cockroach crazy, I'm so gonna

873
01:15:32.680 --> 01:15:35.680
do it. It's kind of expensive, but that's that's kind of about my

874
01:15:35.760 --> 01:15:39.119
alley. I'm not afraid to do
surgery a roach. You know what?

875
01:15:39.600 --> 01:15:44.680
That includes catching a roach keeping it
alive. Well, surgery can buy the

876
01:15:44.760 --> 01:15:49.560
roaches. It's a specific species makes
it easier, so they count. All

877
01:15:49.560 --> 01:15:54.520
you have to do is like click, like the little like dino writer helmet.

878
01:15:55.159 --> 01:15:57.560
Pretty much. It's funny. Actually, I watched the I watched the

879
01:15:57.680 --> 01:16:02.159
video about how you do this surgery, and it actually includes there's a point

880
01:16:02.199 --> 01:16:08.119
at which you actually have to sand
the the kitness exoskeleton of the cock rouch

881
01:16:08.239 --> 01:16:12.560
that the glue will work better.
Really bad, right, How do you

882
01:16:12.800 --> 01:16:15.800
keep it? How do you keep
it still? Oh, they've covered a

883
01:16:15.920 --> 01:16:18.279
drug it. Yes, you anesthetize
it. You don't get an ice water

884
01:16:18.359 --> 01:16:20.960
for a couple of minutes, Oh
my gosh, and then that thing just

885
01:16:21.079 --> 01:16:25.079
don't move, and then it thaws
out and off it goes. It's a

886
01:16:25.159 --> 01:16:27.640
cock rotch. They're extraordinarily hard to
kill. And then you don't have to

887
01:16:27.640 --> 01:16:31.199
feel bad if you kill it.
Um. Another fun fact is that the

888
01:16:31.439 --> 01:16:36.079
the antenna of this particular species is
hollow, and so you cut the antenna

889
01:16:36.159 --> 01:16:41.920
and you can actually thread a wire
into the antenna and that's how you give

890
01:16:41.960 --> 01:16:45.439
it instructions, which my instructions,
I just mean an electrical pulse. Heya,

891
01:16:45.680 --> 01:16:51.920
turn right. Oh um, that's
so but so nuts. But you

892
01:16:53.079 --> 01:16:57.600
have I mean yes, insects crawling
under your door watching you do whatever you

893
01:16:57.680 --> 01:17:02.119
want to do. Or um earthquakes. You release two hundred insects to a

894
01:17:02.199 --> 01:17:08.960
pile of rubble and they can find
people. Yeah, I'm in life saving

895
01:17:09.159 --> 01:17:14.560
roaches. All of these implications for
removing rubble from people. That's yeah,

896
01:17:14.800 --> 01:17:16.680
it's nuts. Your balls in your
court floor? Which you got? My

897
01:17:16.840 --> 01:17:24.439
next one, Project Excalibur. Um, this is the development of hell Well.

898
01:17:24.479 --> 01:17:26.600
I love it. I actually had
this on my list too. H

899
01:17:27.760 --> 01:17:33.199
L high energy lasers. This is
for weapons and communication, that's right,

900
01:17:33.600 --> 01:17:39.279
and buy weapons. In communication,
they mean communicating that your face is melting.

901
01:17:40.720 --> 01:17:43.960
Yeah, Project Excalibur, because that
was the Blazer. The big problem

902
01:17:44.039 --> 01:17:47.560
with it was that they always required
such huge power support power systems. But

903
01:17:47.640 --> 01:17:51.199
they finally getting those shrunk down.
They're getting them. Everyone wants laser guns,

904
01:17:51.239 --> 01:17:56.560
and I don't blame them. What
do you got how about portable blood

905
01:17:56.640 --> 01:18:02.920
decontamination. Wow, you can remove
pathogens, toxins, poisons from blood.

906
01:18:03.000 --> 01:18:10.399
It's like a gigantic techno kidney,
but way better at its job. Opening

907
01:18:10.439 --> 01:18:19.840
tonight for ice quake techno kidney cool
um. Tara hurts frequency electronics. Oh

908
01:18:19.960 --> 01:18:28.119
yeah, the as yet unused range
of the electromagnetic spectrum between microwave and infrared

909
01:18:29.359 --> 01:18:32.520
is the TARA hurts frequency. Nothing
nothing going on at that's going on.

910
01:18:32.680 --> 01:18:35.840
So if people can figure out how
to how to get in there and get

911
01:18:35.880 --> 01:18:42.920
stuff going on, then electronics wouldn't
compete for spectrum access. Also, clothing

912
01:18:43.239 --> 01:18:49.119
could have built in TARA hurt frequency
sensors, So that means something to get

913
01:18:49.159 --> 01:18:54.920
buried under rubble, right, the
shirt lifts it off. The shirt emits

914
01:18:55.239 --> 01:18:59.760
a high frequency sound that roaches will
be attractive to. But yeah, it's

915
01:19:00.159 --> 01:19:04.319
I think somebody wrote that in you
know, if you get hot or something,

916
01:19:04.399 --> 01:19:08.680
the shirt will like automatically cool you
or something like that. I love

917
01:19:08.760 --> 01:19:12.039
that crazy stuff, all right.
I got one last one here for you.

918
01:19:12.920 --> 01:19:19.159
How about bone putty for compound fractures. You put the putty around the

919
01:19:19.239 --> 01:19:25.359
bone and it hardens, it forms
a temporary cast and its internal cast that

920
01:19:25.960 --> 01:19:30.399
that degrades over time as the bone
knits back together. Wow. Also medical

921
01:19:30.520 --> 01:19:34.039
nanobots and why not throw them on
the bucket? Wow? So one's are

922
01:19:34.439 --> 01:19:43.640
lightning round bone? Lightning sound?
Put the lightning round. So to wrap

923
01:19:43.760 --> 01:19:47.520
up here, a little bit uh
darpest should exist for in my opinion,

924
01:19:47.600 --> 01:19:54.720
for science's sake, not for military's
sake. I agree with that. I

925
01:19:54.800 --> 01:19:58.920
think we would be just fine in
a much better world if if we could

926
01:19:59.000 --> 01:20:03.800
just fund research like this, you
know, and instead of worrying about the

927
01:20:03.880 --> 01:20:10.319
next bomb or bullet that that changes
direction, right, you know, we

928
01:20:10.359 --> 01:20:15.000
could put it in a medical research
or something useful to What about a syringe

929
01:20:15.079 --> 01:20:19.560
that changes direction, or an ad
vill that can hunt you down there put

930
01:20:19.600 --> 01:20:32.399
itself in your mouth? What about
an IV bag that can take rubble off

931
01:20:32.479 --> 01:20:42.399
of you when you've gotten buried?
Treat all humans. That guy with the

932
01:20:42.479 --> 01:20:46.479
cold is in a cave. I
found him. I mean, if this,

933
01:20:46.840 --> 01:20:51.319
if this country slips into a police
state, which it's doing, then

934
01:20:51.520 --> 01:20:56.000
this type of research is going to
send us straight into an Orwell novel.

935
01:20:56.560 --> 01:21:00.439
Oh yeah, that's and that right
there, is kind of the crux of

936
01:21:01.199 --> 01:21:03.800
the conspiracy. Oh. I mean, here's the thing. I mean,

937
01:21:03.840 --> 01:21:06.720
I don't think this research is what's
going to send us into a Norwell novel.

938
01:21:06.760 --> 01:21:10.279
I think people are going to send
us into an Norawell novel if that's

939
01:21:10.319 --> 01:21:13.680
the way things go. I don't. I look at look at the actual

940
01:21:13.800 --> 01:21:16.800
book of nineteen eighty four. They
didn't. They didn't have a tenth of

941
01:21:16.840 --> 01:21:23.640
the technology that we do now to
achieve that. Look in North Korea and

942
01:21:23.680 --> 01:21:27.000
they've got pretty good Orwellian state going
down there. You know. I don't

943
01:21:27.039 --> 01:21:30.399
think the technology is what's required to
repress people, just the will to do

944
01:21:30.520 --> 01:21:34.199
so. No. I mean it'll
make it much easier to police the state

945
01:21:34.279 --> 01:21:39.079
though. Yeah, when you can't
hide, what are they gonna do?

946
01:21:39.199 --> 01:21:41.800
Are they gonna get like robots to
do our jobs for us? Come on,

947
01:21:41.960 --> 01:21:45.720
Flora, that's what you know what? And if they did, I

948
01:21:45.800 --> 01:21:47.880
would kick this shit out of them. There's no way a robot could stop

949
01:21:47.920 --> 01:21:53.279
me in my cart. No way, dude. I'm gonna tell you this

950
01:21:53.760 --> 01:22:00.000
once and for all. Use your
at high only on humans. I'm just

951
01:22:00.119 --> 01:22:09.560
saying the robots come. No,
I don't say it. I'll be fine,

952
01:22:09.760 --> 01:22:14.680
dude, Uh, there's so much
do I want to tell you.

953
01:22:18.319 --> 01:22:21.079
The other thing is, how is
Google a player? How? How what

954
01:22:21.159 --> 01:22:25.159
are they going to do with all
this stuff in the next in the coming

955
01:22:25.439 --> 01:22:28.680
five years? Oh man, I
hope robo enslavement. I don't know.

956
01:22:28.880 --> 01:22:30.920
I mean Google, they could do
whatever they want at this point, and

957
01:22:31.039 --> 01:22:33.840
like I are doing whatever. I
mean, yeah, and it's you're making

958
01:22:33.920 --> 01:22:42.840
bitcoin probably just let it go,
let you go. I'm there's Uh,

959
01:22:43.039 --> 01:22:45.760
that's that's kind of a weird thing. And I was having a discussion with

960
01:22:45.800 --> 01:22:47.840
a friend of mine about Google the
other day and how you know, things

961
01:22:47.880 --> 01:22:53.079
like Google Fiber, Like I love
it if it came to Chicago. But

962
01:22:53.840 --> 01:22:58.560
on the other hand, I do
have this nagging feeling like I'm placing too

963
01:22:58.640 --> 01:23:02.319
many eggs in Google's bast get that
society like this is a I don't know,

964
01:23:02.520 --> 01:23:06.439
is that is that irrational to worry
that this company is becoming such a

965
01:23:06.600 --> 01:23:12.560
huge player, like they control,
you know, like the information and search

966
01:23:12.640 --> 01:23:17.039
engines they have. They have such
a huge influence on the world through that

967
01:23:18.079 --> 01:23:20.319
that, you know, I don't
know, are they just there? Are

968
01:23:20.359 --> 01:23:23.560
they just tech happy? Are they
like? No, you know, we

969
01:23:23.720 --> 01:23:26.039
really want to get into robots.
We think it's going to be really cool,

970
01:23:26.039 --> 01:23:30.159
so we're buying up these robot companies. Or is it's the beginning of

971
01:23:30.279 --> 01:23:34.560
some malevolent end. I don't know. I It's going to be something for

972
01:23:34.640 --> 01:23:40.199
the grandkids I'll never have to deal
with. Don't worry. I'm solving all

973
01:23:40.279 --> 01:23:47.079
of my long term guilt problems by
never having sex. And also, this

974
01:23:47.279 --> 01:23:50.560
is only the stuff we're told about, right, oh man, Yeah,

975
01:23:50.640 --> 01:23:54.640
this is the stuff that they're willing
to let everyone see and mess with.

976
01:23:55.720 --> 01:23:58.840
There is a prime example of this
in the eighties. There was a stealth

977
01:23:59.000 --> 01:24:06.600
boat that they played around with for
years until they finally had a big coming

978
01:24:06.640 --> 01:24:12.159
out party. It's like this boat's
King signera or something. They showed it

979
01:24:12.199 --> 01:24:15.600
to the public, but it had
been bopping around for years in production before

980
01:24:15.640 --> 01:24:18.279
that, you know, and testing
and all that stuff, and well,

981
01:24:18.359 --> 01:24:23.079
it's just a freaky thing. And
you gotta wonder though, if some of

982
01:24:23.159 --> 01:24:28.840
this experimental aircraft things like that aren't
what people are seeing in the skies.

983
01:24:29.479 --> 01:24:32.039
Oh, they most certainly are.
I mean, like, especially there's the

984
01:24:32.199 --> 01:24:35.199
space plan that they've got. You
know, there was little sightings of it

985
01:24:35.319 --> 01:24:41.119
here and there. There's experimental propulsion
systems. There was a there's a really

986
01:24:41.199 --> 01:24:43.720
running thing and I forget what they
call it, donuts on a rope.

987
01:24:43.760 --> 01:24:46.560
It was a I think it was
a ramjet propulsion system that's still classified.

988
01:24:46.600 --> 01:24:50.359
No one knows what aircraft was flying
it. But people would see this contrail

989
01:24:50.439 --> 01:24:57.000
with it's literally like the straight contrail
with these rings down it, and you're

990
01:24:57.039 --> 01:25:00.239
like, what the there's no aircraft
that makes that. Uh And I'm still

991
01:25:00.560 --> 01:25:04.520
not really released, but I mean
so there's these weird kind of secondary like,

992
01:25:04.640 --> 01:25:08.239
oh, well, we know something's
doing a thing, but they're not

993
01:25:08.279 --> 01:25:12.720
going to tell us. And there
are tons of pictures of stuff that they're

994
01:25:12.760 --> 01:25:16.960
working on are apparently you know,
um that that's out there for DARPA of

995
01:25:17.199 --> 01:25:24.239
aircraft things and what do they look
like? Big golfing cigars right well,

996
01:25:24.600 --> 01:25:29.159
all right, freud back it down, a little bit Zeppelin type things like

997
01:25:29.439 --> 01:25:33.960
giant Harry dogs, just just just
I mean huge. I think I saw

998
01:25:34.119 --> 01:25:42.039
three builders in the sky build anyway. Um, that's that's it, DARPA,

999
01:25:42.199 --> 01:25:44.560
take it or leave it, I
don't know. I mean, it's

1000
01:25:45.079 --> 01:25:48.760
there's some really cool stuff just because
it's you know, we're we like toys

1001
01:25:48.840 --> 01:25:53.920
and and there's all kinds of neat
things that are coming out of these people's

1002
01:25:53.960 --> 01:25:58.159
minds. Yeah, but again,
if it's used the wrong way, you

1003
01:25:58.239 --> 01:26:01.079
know, Spider Man, it's it's
not going to be good for anybody.

1004
01:26:01.800 --> 01:26:09.439
But that's Dark before you, very
high tech, somewhat clandestine, time shared,

1005
01:26:09.520 --> 01:26:15.279
nutshell, time shared, nutshell.
Anyways, let's let's get into the

1006
01:26:15.399 --> 01:26:20.800
real conspiracy. Yeah, and the
stuff that we've been working on for years.

1007
01:26:21.640 --> 01:26:30.479
Finally finally release the pollen n boons, the peans flora. Why don't

1008
01:26:30.479 --> 01:26:32.039
you kick it off. I'll kick
it off. I'm not going to go

1009
01:26:32.119 --> 01:26:38.720
after the low hanging fruit on this
one, sorry buddy, But I am

1010
01:26:38.760 --> 01:26:43.680
going to start out here with a
government funded music festival. Nice, with

1011
01:26:43.920 --> 01:26:48.079
the freedom to explore some really sweet
licks. Oh, I like that.

1012
01:26:48.439 --> 01:26:51.720
You can fail if you want,
but it's just you know, getting out

1013
01:26:51.760 --> 01:26:57.760
there and making it happen. Yeah. Does it focus on any particular instrument?

1014
01:26:58.239 --> 01:27:05.000
Usually it does. It's gatarpa.
Nice. You always get so mad

1015
01:27:05.039 --> 01:27:11.560
when you sniff them out. I
know, I feel like I've I've peeked

1016
01:27:11.600 --> 01:27:16.520
at my Christmas presents. Smells it
coming, you know. Um. Dark

1017
01:27:16.560 --> 01:27:24.880
percent a research team down to Southern
Texas to work on on, you know,

1018
01:27:25.079 --> 01:27:29.279
building a something that a person an
operator could wear that would help them

1019
01:27:29.319 --> 01:27:32.239
with their job, because the problem
that they were having is they would go

1020
01:27:32.319 --> 01:27:38.199
out to eat and the food it's
just like the guacamole wasn't made well.

1021
01:27:38.239 --> 01:27:42.079
It was really chunky, like they
they get fahitas and the chicken wasn't cut

1022
01:27:42.159 --> 01:27:45.079
all the way through. And they
realize that the people just physically weren't up

1023
01:27:45.159 --> 01:27:50.079
to the task of making the food
properly. And this inspired them to make

1024
01:27:50.439 --> 01:27:59.439
muh the t X four seven three
tex Mexo set skeleton. It makes for

1025
01:28:00.079 --> 01:28:03.279
it's a lot easier to prepare food
where lift a lot of uros. It's

1026
01:28:03.880 --> 01:28:11.600
it's the text Mexo skeleton. Nice
all right, I've got I've got a

1027
01:28:11.640 --> 01:28:18.079
program that was funded to transport people
through space and time. But it's just

1028
01:28:18.319 --> 01:28:23.960
took a long time more than anything, but it was it was it didn't

1029
01:28:23.960 --> 01:28:33.199
cost very much. It was a
super cheap It was Project Megabus. Another

1030
01:28:34.439 --> 01:28:41.840
fun for you. There was a
research and team sent to Southern Texas and

1031
01:28:42.000 --> 01:28:50.960
the restaurant, but there was never
any chicken on the mat. They made

1032
01:28:51.039 --> 01:29:11.479
it a bullet I guided bullet project
text mex Acto killed the chicken? Oh

1033
01:29:11.760 --> 01:29:17.279
why did I take so much joy
in just recycling upon? Okay, you

1034
01:29:17.479 --> 01:29:19.760
go, but I have to do
another way. I can't get away.

1035
01:29:24.640 --> 01:29:27.600
Well, i'll give you I'll give
you another one here. Okay. It

1036
01:29:27.760 --> 01:29:31.000
was um when they when they went
in southern Texas, they actually had a

1037
01:29:31.119 --> 01:29:38.439
problem before they had the texts mex
Sacto bullets, they had a problem lining

1038
01:29:38.560 --> 01:29:43.560
up their their sites with real bullets
and stuff. They needed something quicker and

1039
01:29:44.000 --> 01:29:47.479
something that would hopefully cook the chickens
as they shot them nice. And that's

1040
01:29:47.520 --> 01:30:02.359
why they got the text Mexcalibur weapon. We're geniuses. We're smarter than put

1041
01:30:02.439 --> 01:30:10.920
that I'm on a bumper sticker photos
smarter, but it's gonna be smarter than

1042
01:30:11.600 --> 01:30:18.600
smarter than DARP, smarter than smarter
than DARP. Okay, okay, well

1043
01:30:18.640 --> 01:30:23.399
more, yeah, I mean I
okay, I get two more. One

1044
01:30:23.439 --> 01:30:28.439
of them goes very fast and easy. Uh. It's he um, government

1045
01:30:28.520 --> 01:30:33.920
funded research project for people who are
just idiots, and it's called derpah yeah

1046
01:30:34.880 --> 01:30:41.119
yeah, uh no. Um.
It turns out that in the early nineties

1047
01:30:41.520 --> 01:30:46.000
there's a lot of competition in toy
manufacturing and one particular company. He was

1048
01:30:46.079 --> 01:30:54.760
funded by the US government and Nickelodeon, as I recall um and Uh.

1049
01:30:54.880 --> 01:30:59.560
They were tasked with, you know, research development on upcoming toy designs that

1050
01:30:59.600 --> 01:31:04.880
they could let the Russians get ahold
of. It's called FLARPA. Yeah,

1051
01:31:05.159 --> 01:31:10.760
all right there, Yes, there's
a whole bunch. There's there's the text

1052
01:31:10.840 --> 01:31:17.520
mex Combo plant buns, the number
eighteen. You know, it's amazing the

1053
01:31:17.840 --> 01:31:23.640
amount of things that DARPA has been
instrumental in providing. I mean, look

1054
01:31:23.640 --> 01:31:27.560
at the very Internet itself. I
mean even even email. But you know

1055
01:31:27.640 --> 01:31:40.560
what DARPA didn't invent? What listener? Man? You know who's kicking in

1056
01:31:40.600 --> 01:31:45.359
the door on this sweet ass party
the fits No our friend Tim? Oh

1057
01:31:45.560 --> 01:31:50.159
Hi Tim. He's all like,
blam, Hi, I brought cup pikes

1058
01:31:50.199 --> 01:31:54.960
and beer and we're like, thank
you, Tim. Uh. Tim's just

1059
01:31:55.039 --> 01:31:58.479
giving us a big high five and
also a high five to these swell folks

1060
01:31:58.520 --> 01:32:01.920
at the Caustic Soda podcast. Oh
yeah, I've heard good things and they're

1061
01:32:02.000 --> 01:32:08.039
Canadian. I'm told what that can't
hurt watch? So thanks Tim, thanks

1062
01:32:08.079 --> 01:32:12.119
for listening to us, and thanks
for uma loving us more than them.

1063
01:32:12.399 --> 01:32:15.720
I'm implying that you didn't say that, but I assume it. We'll check

1064
01:32:15.760 --> 01:32:21.119
out to old caustic soda. The
old cs sounds good. I heard from

1065
01:32:23.479 --> 01:32:28.600
the leader of the free zombies.
Really well, do you mean the de

1066
01:32:28.720 --> 01:32:31.880
facto fascist dictator of the That's that's
what I mean. Oh okay, he

1067
01:32:32.039 --> 01:32:35.600
just calls them the free zombies,
so there won't be any more unresting,

1068
01:32:35.720 --> 01:32:40.039
like the way they call it a
people's republic. That's normally work exactly.

1069
01:32:40.199 --> 01:32:45.840
Zombie Master rights in with some bring
them pounds left out from the history books.

1070
01:32:46.880 --> 01:32:53.159
Bring them pounds out from the history
books. Johnny Applesee did have a

1071
01:32:53.199 --> 01:32:57.119
brother who also went across the land
spreading the seeds of not apples, but

1072
01:32:57.439 --> 01:33:04.680
cannabis. He went by the name
of Johnny Appleweed. What there's a rare

1073
01:33:04.800 --> 01:33:10.560
and large so cool can you imagine, like like, what if there's just

1074
01:33:10.720 --> 01:33:15.640
weed trees everywhere? Man, there's
a rare and large gourd that grows in

1075
01:33:15.760 --> 01:33:18.640
the mountains of the Pacific Northwest.
It said that the flavor is so big

1076
01:33:18.720 --> 01:33:24.680
and tangy. It was named the
sas squash. Oh my god, that's

1077
01:33:24.760 --> 01:33:28.760
such a good right now. Ancient
builders of Egypt as we all know,

1078
01:33:29.079 --> 01:33:40.520
were master architects, also beaters.
Almost almost lost to it antiquity until very

1079
01:33:40.600 --> 01:33:47.079
recently. Unearthed was a papyrus roll
on the rules and standards used when building

1080
01:33:47.119 --> 01:33:54.479
the Pyramids. It's titled colk like
an Egyptian I get it? What if

1081
01:33:54.600 --> 01:33:58.640
you like took one of those papyrus
role Why am I doing this head thing?

1082
01:33:58.720 --> 01:34:01.279
This stupid and I'm sorry? Never
works, Never works. He also

1083
01:34:01.359 --> 01:34:09.000
has a shampoo for Egyptian kids that
won't hurt their eyes nevatari. I like

1084
01:34:09.199 --> 01:34:16.760
that. And and he also has
a mundane superpower. Oh oh, he

1085
01:34:16.880 --> 01:34:21.119
just made me go Paul Barr,
Yeah he did. He's got cotton all

1086
01:34:21.680 --> 01:34:29.079
the power to make all fabric have
the touch the feel of cotton happer.

1087
01:34:33.760 --> 01:34:38.680
And then he caught an orbon camera
and sent us a video of it.

1088
01:34:39.119 --> 01:34:45.159
Sweet, that's pretty cool. Clean
your lands, thanks Zombie master Quail.

1089
01:34:45.199 --> 01:34:49.199
Those zombies. That's right, And
we go from the best of the zombies

1090
01:34:49.319 --> 01:34:57.640
to the worst of men. Oh
narrow, Adam, he's got puns.

1091
01:34:58.399 --> 01:35:03.199
There was once a farrow with a
serious case of irritable bowel syndrome. I

1092
01:35:03.359 --> 01:35:15.399
like this one why widely known as
boot uncommon Oh man Worst Man. That's

1093
01:35:15.520 --> 01:35:23.079
great. Um, here's a fun
factoid that the Roma people of Europe that

1094
01:35:23.560 --> 01:35:27.920
commonly referred to as Gypsies. Um, they got that name because Europeans actually

1095
01:35:27.920 --> 01:35:30.760
thought they came from Egypt. Yeah. I didn't know that. So yeah,

1096
01:35:31.199 --> 01:35:36.159
maybe even worthy of a podcast.
The Worst Men agrees with you.

1097
01:35:38.159 --> 01:35:41.560
He said, maybe we should,
Maybe we should? Now is it a

1098
01:35:41.760 --> 01:35:45.760
good idea or a bad idea because
it came from the Worst Man. Oh

1099
01:35:45.319 --> 01:35:51.279
tough call. I get thirsty for
the worst dy that was? That was

1100
01:35:51.439 --> 01:35:56.079
pretty bad to me. Oh,
and he gives us a really cool link

1101
01:35:56.159 --> 01:36:00.119
to a Cracked article about five ways
in which every conspiracy theory makes the world

1102
01:36:00.239 --> 01:36:03.880
worse. I'm I'm a fan of
that already, so I'm gonna check that

1103
01:36:03.960 --> 01:36:08.000
out. Crack does some good stuff. Yeah, they really do. They

1104
01:36:08.079 --> 01:36:10.239
do. They do. Sometimes they
do our research for us a little bit,

1105
01:36:10.399 --> 01:36:12.960
which is nice. Yeah. So
it's always nice when we have an

1106
01:36:13.000 --> 01:36:16.760
episode and I can find like a
Cracked top ten things that you know,

1107
01:36:16.960 --> 01:36:21.079
hollow Earth. Yeah, I love
it. Thanks Worst Man, Adam,

1108
01:36:21.319 --> 01:36:29.840
Oh, the Worst You're the worst
hard from Tyler? Oh what m Tyler?

1109
01:36:30.520 --> 01:36:34.640
High tie? Tyler has want to
drink tie? But it could be

1110
01:36:34.800 --> 01:36:42.039
your tiepower. What is it?
It's the ability to pull the exact amount

1111
01:36:42.039 --> 01:36:45.800
of toilet paper needed off the roll
each time. Oh, but only for

1112
01:36:45.960 --> 01:36:56.359
your previous bowel movement. Great Monkeys, because there's that movie. You're like,

1113
01:36:56.439 --> 01:37:03.000
what the hell? Oh yeah,
got dark that's awesome. One more,

1114
01:37:03.600 --> 01:37:09.039
much like Aquaman. The ability to
speak to creatures of the sea,

1115
01:37:10.079 --> 01:37:16.000
but only while attending county fairs.
Oddly specific. Yeah, I like that

1116
01:37:16.159 --> 01:37:21.159
one. That's what I got,
Thanks, Tyler. I love mundane superpowers.

1117
01:37:21.760 --> 01:37:26.279
I gotta I gotta make a page. Yeah, oh man, we're

1118
01:37:26.319 --> 01:37:29.720
talking about we're talking about updating the
site too. Yeah, and that would

1119
01:37:29.720 --> 01:37:31.399
be an easy thing to add,
I think. So Floria hit me with

1120
01:37:31.479 --> 01:37:33.960
a mundane superpower right now, I'm
gonna hit you with him. We're gonna

1121
01:37:33.960 --> 01:37:40.319
make him up right now. Boom
Okay, this this is called buff fingers.

1122
01:37:40.600 --> 01:37:46.920
Oh okay. The ability to carry
any number of plastic bags from the

1123
01:37:47.000 --> 01:37:53.279
grocery store home. That's barely mundane. That might just be a superpower,

1124
01:37:53.319 --> 01:37:57.520
because that's genuinely useful. You know, I've been I've been doing bad one,

1125
01:37:57.600 --> 01:37:59.920
so I thought i'd throw a good
one. I like that. Yeah,

1126
01:38:00.000 --> 01:38:01.920
I got one. I got one, okay. Um, The ability

1127
01:38:02.079 --> 01:38:08.760
to open a book directly to the
page in the index that tells you where

1128
01:38:08.760 --> 01:38:14.239
the page you want to find is. That's useful. I use that a

1129
01:38:14.319 --> 01:38:17.680
lot. Yeah, it won't take
you right there, but you'll you'll get

1130
01:38:17.720 --> 01:38:26.600
the page in the index that will
guys. All right, okay, moving

1131
01:38:26.600 --> 01:38:32.640
on, moving on? Oh,
make glorious email from Chromrade Luke, chromrad

1132
01:38:33.720 --> 01:38:42.199
d. What does Chromrade Luke have
to say? He has make most compliment

1133
01:38:42.319 --> 01:38:45.800
to us in amount of barrel full
of monkeys for fun having. I love

1134
01:38:45.960 --> 01:38:51.640
barrel full of monkeys. He is
not to finding podcast. He needs to

1135
01:38:51.720 --> 01:38:57.880
make funny laugh every time we are
to talking. He's like Russian dun loup

1136
01:38:58.840 --> 01:39:06.479
Chromrade Luke in the gulag Garcia.
Cromerad, look once again, I must

1137
01:39:06.520 --> 01:39:14.359
tell children about your teams to make
mother Marsha happy. He's only man to

1138
01:39:14.479 --> 01:39:19.119
make Lottra mother Russia. That's that's
the Russian argent guys. Here, yep,

1139
01:39:21.000 --> 01:39:26.960
there's one. There's one in every
country. And cromd also make podcast

1140
01:39:27.119 --> 01:39:32.760
himself. Oh he's about work.
So Robert Howard or maybe guy who make

1141
01:39:33.239 --> 01:39:42.640
Conan stories. I have question am
told perhaps George har har Martin, perhaps

1142
01:39:43.000 --> 01:39:49.279
Harbert Jordan, I'm not remembering.
Also make writing of Conan stories I think

1143
01:39:49.479 --> 01:39:56.319
was George har har Martin. No, no, no, you you such

1144
01:39:56.399 --> 01:40:04.199
make stupid with mouths. Stephen King
make make Conan series very horrific. Damn

1145
01:40:04.279 --> 01:40:10.159
him not making funny jokes. He's
real author. No groth coning stories.

1146
01:40:10.560 --> 01:40:16.840
I think was George harhar Martin.
Thank you, Lord must I must make

1147
01:40:16.880 --> 01:40:28.119
it. To agree and disagree is
glorious understanding. And uh to end to

1148
01:40:28.279 --> 01:40:33.880
end this round, we uh unfortunately
almost ran poor Angie off the road.

1149
01:40:34.680 --> 01:40:41.479
Oh yeah, listener, Angie wrote
in uh and apparently uh in the Golden

1150
01:40:41.560 --> 01:40:48.239
episode our our Pokemon guys was almost
her undoing whilst whilst driving. Sorry to

1151
01:40:48.399 --> 01:40:53.239
put a warning on that, I
think I think we've ever been in some

1152
01:40:53.359 --> 01:40:57.840
discussions warning by good night. We
didn't have warnings on stuff. No,

1153
01:40:58.119 --> 01:41:01.279
you understand it. The risks and
you tried to eat dairy, you would

1154
01:41:01.399 --> 01:41:05.920
die from it. We had pois
that would put your eye out. That's

1155
01:41:05.960 --> 01:41:10.319
what they were made to do.
The point was not to put your eye

1156
01:41:10.319 --> 01:41:15.119
out and learn from it. I
saved up for two years to buy a

1157
01:41:15.359 --> 01:41:21.119
jagged wooden splinter to play with that
thing lasted for the rest of your childhood.

1158
01:41:23.279 --> 01:41:29.279
We had babies with that jagged wooden
splinter. Oh thank you, hanjie

1159
01:41:29.800 --> 01:41:34.079
Um. She also says that you
suggested the Supernatural. The show Supernatural probably

1160
01:41:34.079 --> 01:41:38.079
had a goal on episode it does. Ah. Yeah, it's called Everybody

1161
01:41:38.119 --> 01:41:42.439
Hates Hitler and sticks surprisingly close to
the folklore that we talked about. Awesome,

1162
01:41:42.760 --> 01:41:45.920
that's really cool. I'm gonna get
into super I'm gonna start watching it

1163
01:41:46.039 --> 01:41:48.680
soon. I've run out of community. I watched all the community, so

1164
01:41:49.800 --> 01:41:54.119
I'm needing a new ship. I
mean, it's the sun is setting on

1165
01:41:54.239 --> 01:41:58.279
summer here in Chicago, so I'm
already like starting to build my summer bunker,

1166
01:41:58.479 --> 01:42:01.960
watch my winter bunker watch list.
Yeah, and uh, Angie says,

1167
01:42:02.239 --> 01:42:06.359
do we think that golems are any
good at laundry? I think they'd

1168
01:42:06.399 --> 01:42:10.680
have to be, except their servants. I don't know that you'd want to

1169
01:42:10.680 --> 01:42:13.720
get them with though. Yeah,
not maybe not a good idea in that

1170
01:42:13.800 --> 01:42:19.159
regard. So maybe maybe they're right
clean. Only you see it easy these

1171
01:42:19.279 --> 01:42:24.239
golems. You don't want to get
them away. These golems these days use

1172
01:42:24.359 --> 01:42:27.600
these may tag machines and show what
I want to tell you see what I'm

1173
01:42:27.640 --> 01:42:31.119
saying, So thank you everyone.
Joh I don't want to hut your appetype

1174
01:42:31.159 --> 01:42:35.359
at Man right on deck. Next
listener mail, because you guys are still

1175

1209
01:45:35.359 --> 01:45:40.600
fell in battle trying to board up
the door so they couldn't get in,

1210
01:45:40.920 --> 01:45:44.680
But a straight nail flew from the
nail gun. It grazed his shoulder,

1211
01:45:44.880 --> 01:45:47.560
didn't hurt him much, but then
he fell out a window. It was

1212
01:45:47.640 --> 01:45:56.239
tragic. Make sure to take your
Snickers bar and Vienna sausages. Now was

1213
01:45:56.279 --> 01:46:01.800
the time to transmit listener mail.
Oh Don Luke, surely you do not

1214
01:46:01.960 --> 01:46:08.720
expect me to sleep at the hacienda
all by myself. Wait, we are

1215
01:46:08.800 --> 01:46:13.640
doing a crossover. What is that
noise? Beat boot Bop? An't beat

1216
01:46:13.680 --> 01:46:17.800
boot Bop? An't it is Mecca? John Zilla? Run, Run Run

1217
01:46:17.920 --> 01:46:24.279
Run. Oh no, Mikey Wills
has showed up. Please everyone gather around

1218
01:46:24.960 --> 01:46:30.600
for this elegant fancy feast. This
situation requires payton Bob to repair it.

1219
01:46:31.039 --> 01:46:36.399
Oh Bananas, why are you so
spotty? Is it acne or are you

1220
01:46:36.640 --> 01:46:42.800
dying. You are fruit that has
a less than optimistic outlook. I am

1221
01:46:42.880 --> 01:46:50.760
one motherfucking dark lemon. This concludes
transmission of Listener Mail End podcast, and

1222
01:46:59.520 --> 01:47:01.960
it's hard to do for a while. H
