Oh your mystery, sir, and thank you fansburg m My Butler Sounds will
have anything else your dismissed fans Very good, sir. Oh this mystery is
Insusian. What's up, y'all? It's blurry photos serves to you on a
steaming silver platter. The platter itself is steaming. Yep. I'm David Jeeves
Flora. I am David Wentworth Stecco, and welcome to the podcast. Yeah,
you guys like mysteries because if you don't usually leave right now or dismiss
your livery or suspend your disbelief in mystery. Yeah, why don't you open
up your mind? Gosh Jesus, it can't all be low fat recipes for
fun times. You know, a lot of that stuff has sucralose in it.
Shut them, we'll do. We'll do sucralose on a later episode.
Oh man, I'm referencing something I haven't even covered. I'm referencing the future
directly because it's in the fourth dimension dimensional sounds. I keep wanting to make
mouth noises in this Do you have you noticed that since we've got this new
setup, I keep wanting to make Well, it's because it's the worst.
I think it's because where clot we have great new fancy mikes that you have
to be close to to speak into properly. Yeah, which means you hear
a little bit more lip smack. Now. I make a point of making
mouth sounds when we do our microphone test every time we record, because it's
torturous. I won't do it. But there's nothing worse than hearing mouth sounds
directly into your ears. Yeah yeah, I mean, there's nothing worse than
hearing mouth sounds period, but into your ears when you're trying to edit this.
God, it's like, Hey, didn't feel like just a greasy finger
going into your ear? It's off all you guys. I'm really excited for
this episode in particular. Oh man, we've been looking forward to this.
This was when we had right on deck, and then we had our microphone
meltdown, and now we can bring it to you. So if you were
wishing for a really great mysterious podcast that featured an ethereal creature or entity,
well I believe you wish is granted. Oh there's always a twist though,
oh man. The twist is that it's delivered by us. The twist is
who sounds. Yeah, I'm okay, we'll uh, we'll spare you for
that. Hey, thanks for listening to that podcast. If you did.
Yeah, oh man, I can't can't even say you're welcome. Yeah,
we're we're gonna stay a lot more sober from here on out. Not not
like ridiculously more, but more Yeah, more so than than that. But
kudos to you if you got through the Irish Legends episode. Yeah, and
hope you hope you've learned something. And I think you'll learn something with this
one. This one's fun. We're we are covering the Gin tonight. That's
right. They're not all blue um singing fun times, as as the liberal
media might have you believe you may have a friend like that. Yeah,
you may have. You know that friend who steals your money and just with
your life. That's that's your friend, like a gin. Let's jump into
this. Yeah, okay, let's do bring you just do it. Let's
let's start this off clinically, Flora, what are the facts? Well,
I'll tell you what. What we're gonna cover is what they are, uh
huh, where they come from? Okay, the types of gin and what
they do? Huh do they grant wishes, maybe even some protection from them
if you need it. If they don't grant wishes, why the fuck are
they around? There's no reason. I guess I could say the same thing
for ducks. But Gin's wishes is a big deal for a gin. It's
the reason anyone talks about them. It's true. And um, being in
a row is why you have ducks. So you have things that are in
rows. Oh man, that's all the ducks have, poor ducks. Oh
and water sheds off their backs so as to make a quick simile if you
need it. And and there their quack doesn't echo. But that apparently is
a myth magically. No, no, yes, they are enough about ducks.
Let's go to Gin's all right, Gin there. There are different spellings
of Gin. Yeah, I like the d J I n N spelling.
That's my favorite. That's the one we're going with. We also have j
I n N G I n n I and then the Western genie Oh yep,
Jennie's So so it comes from Gin, which that word has an Arabic
root meaning hidden. And then you you get a bunch of different spellings of
it and some different pronunciation here and there, which has evolved into in the
Western world Genie, but most places in the world it goes by GIN simply.
Gin is the plural version, and you can have a ginny which is
DJ I and n I. Also for us, Scob's girlfriend try to say
that for the rest of the podcast. I just ruined it. I just
shoot all over it. Great, No, do it, tough guy.
Y I'm not a small but I know what my wishes would be, all
right. Um, gin are beings of supernatural power who inhabit their own realm,
which most likely is a parallel dimension two hours, but they have the
ability to enter our dimension and interact with us. Yeah, a little more
on that, leader. Um. They're associated with Arabian lore, but here's
the catch. They're everywhere and they're actually an older race than humans. Yeah.
Saying saying the Gins are strictly an Arabian thing is kind of like saying
a demon is just a Western thing. They're all over the place, or
that fairies are Celtic. Right. Yeah, everyone's dealing with them all the
time. Don't you dare attach your racism to this. You disgust me.
They possess the ability to shape shift, among other abilities. Yep, and
They can appear as anywhere from like a human to animal, to a cryptid,
to a ghost, an extraterrestrial shadow, people even and fairies. Um,
just almost anything that people attribute to supernatural phenomena could be caused by GIN.
Right, And they've never once made any attempt to appear to look like
a sandhill crane. No, they sure haven't, not, not that I
could find anyway. And you know now, which earns them our in dying
respect. Yeah, exactly, High five to you. Gins. Now you
might be thinking to yourself right now. Wow, so so you just listed
off like the contents of like twelve of our other podcasts. Yeah. But
and we'll get into this a little bit later. There is a theory,
there is a working belief that that's the true, That everything is Gin's just
in different formats. Screwing with humans. Yeah, they're all just f and
with our ship and with a ship. Wait, hold on, I'll say
it again. They're all just with our ship. It's right. See,
you don't even to beat that one. That's that's for you, Flora,
that's that's for the listeners. Yeah, it is, ultimately, but seriously,
they're with our They inhabit the wilderness. Just any any wild open place,
caves or areas of desolation. They like to be in one of the
most infamous landmarks where Gin reside and could be a portal where they enter our
into our dimension. Often some some people think is called the moduleysttle Gene in
Oman yeah, literally translated as meeting place of the Gin. Yep. It's
the ninth largest cave chamber in the world, and I've heard it can fit
the Great Pyramid of Giza inside this thing. Woof Yeah. Gin can also
live in houses that are occupied. I mean, it's not just relegated to
desolate places. I mean I even read where they can inhabit places like graveyards
and even the toilet. You're curled up in a ball rubbing the side of
your toilet, your knight's not going bad enough that something flies out of it
and starts asking you questions how many wishes are for the room to just stop
spinning? So first time that something came out of the toilet and called me
master? What went into the toilet and called you master? And you haven't
lived? I got a lot of learning. They also it said they sit
in places between the light and the shade, and they they'll move around to
find just that in between area. Just right, I lex it dusky.
This this place is too warm. I'm gonna go in the shade. Oh
it's too cold. Oh no, oh no, this shade's frosty. They
live much longer than humans, and that may be because of the difference in
dimensions, so that they are mortal. They can die. There are mortal,
Okay, all right, yes see look at me learning. Yeah,
it could be there. There could be something in the fact that time passes
slower where where they reside normally in their dimension. A hundred years to us,
maybe like an hour to them, something like that. Wow. But
yes, they can die or and or be killed. I'm just trying to
wrap my head around that because I was trying to think of how that f's
the gin. I thought that, like every time you rub the bottle,
they have to say good by to their family because by the time they get
back, they'll all be wrinkled in the wall. But that's not how it
works. It's the reverse of that. Yeah. Actually, I thought that
would be like some magnificent tragedy. That's why they're so angry. Yeah,
Aladdin's now the saddest movie on earth. They do have families. By the
way, since you mentioned that they do have families and live in communities.
They own pits. They are especially fond of dogs, and according to the
Koran, they eat meat, bones and animal dung. Ah man, I
don't know if that's kind of a smear campaign by the old Koran or what.
Well, you know what, there is that scene in Aladdin where Robin
was is just shoving handfuls of camel dung into his mouth. I forgot look
away. Oh my god, what is this. I've got to eat it?
Hey, do you have any more camels? What's still talk? Oh?
Look at Maham's faced. Oh man, this is a great tasting I
was feeling. Oh that's Robin Williams. We did it all right. Great.
They can become attached to humans, and some can even marry. Now
it's told in a Hadith not to do so yeah, hey it's done.
Yeah, try not to marry gin. You can always tell aigen because their
bottoms are actually just missed. That's how you know. It's just from the
belt down missed. But they can have offspring be produced by a male human
and a female gin, but apparently not the other way around. A male
gin. A female human can't make a baby. Well, that's because the
male gin hasn't missed. I mean you can, you can bump, you're
missed up against whatever, and nothing's going to come of it. I did
hear that a child born of a female gin and a male father would be
powerful. I actually have some powers of a gin, but ultimately would would
be a sociopath or kind of insane from the good go right, because he's
disassociated from his humanity. But he also has some latent powers of the gin.
I think that Christina Aguilera actually was trying to warn us at that.
There's a cautionary tale in her song Genie in a Bottle where she was trying
to say, hey guys, you should be careful about mating with the gin.
I can't remember how that goes. Do you remember how that goes?
Oh? I sure do. I've got the lyrics right here. Come on,
come on, oh yeah, come on, come on. Oh.
I feel like I've been locked up tight for a century of lonely nights.
Why don't you save this for the penalty bomb? I also love that that
in your research you have this ready to go. Why wouldn't I it's it's
pertinent to the topic. Yeah, don't don't think. I never have Christina
Aguilera lyrics too far from my hands. In their shape shifting, they can
appear as what they like the most. So some of them may have um
cupcakes, some of them maybe cupcakes walking around. If they tend towards male
proclivities, they'll they'll appear male, same thing for female. Uh. They
may appear demonic if they you know, think they look cool and want to
be in a band, if they're in the metal Yeah, I get it.
They could appear as, you know, an animal, as we said
a lot of times. The classic description they're described as as being very muscular.
A lot of male gin are are described you know um. Like you
said, they can have smoke or missed for for bottom halves to but they
can materialize saying they can they can solid that up if the situation arises,
if if the citch is called for um, but if if if the situation
arises, they can solidify the lower portion of them, can can become solid.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. What are you talking about? That's
called you keep saying it like that's called putting me on to on the anvil
and hammering. Um they hammer is my penis. They also they also typically
they're described as having some kind of colored skin, blue or red or something
green. You know something I've seen like depictions of all colors of the rain.
Oh h. I also pictures that people Paul pat of them. They
have pointed ears and long braided hair. I mean, I think that the
image that we have of of gin or genies, that's to a degree kind
of what has happened, the same same that has happened with lepri cons.
Yeah. Yeah, there's definitely a collective agreement on this is a genie.
Yeah. But you know what, though you get I'll bet you you get
very different results looking for Gin versus Genie. I think Genie you get kind
of the silly hammer pants and maybe a little tiny vest, and but you
go Gin and you get the kind of darker demonic. Yeah, that's true,
even with your Sha kind of kind of entity. That's so that's the
what they are kind of in a brief overview. Now, let's let's hit
up some of the history maybe where they came from. What these dudes are
about? Dudes and dud Dad's female gin or Jenia so we mentioned that they're
they're all over Arabian lore things like that. Now, Islamic theology absorbed the
lore of the Gin, including the idea of their creation, and the Quran
says angels were created of pure spiritual light, Humans were created from clay and
water, and the Gin were created of smokeless fire. And there's a lot
of theories going around out there that when they say smokeless fire they mean plasma.
Oh, okay, which plasma is the highest form of energy that matter
can attain. Right, It's very high energy. I don't think it's the
highest, but I don't know well right now, from what we know,
it's it's the highest that we Yeah, it's more than you're going to get
out of putting tinfoil in a microwave. So it's beyond our it's beyond human
comprehension, because that's the most we can I'm telling you, man, we
are headed for that. Yeah, that's true. They could be two thousand
years older than humans at least or around there. According to belief, when
God or Allah or the creations cool created Adam, the angels in the Gin
were told to bow down to him. Now, the angels did because they
obey the will of God. They had no free will in that respect,
but the leader of the Gin, whose name was Iblis, refused the Gin.
At the time, Nah had had free will. That's kind of what
made them different from the angels, and that caused Allah to cast the Gin
out of paradise. Now here's where the fun happens. After their expulsion from
paradise, Iblis was then called Shayton. What that sounds very familiar, but
sure it does. Now. Originally his name was asa Zeal, which means
who God strengthens. But he earned this name Iblis, which means to despair
when he went against God's will. And then once he was cast out of
paradise, God gave him the name Shatan, probably just because he just had
to use, like I'll punish him with more name change paperwork, and the
followers are called Shatin. So yes, Satan ever heard of him? Take
out to take out that age? Yeah, that that comes right there from
it. Yeah, that's that's that's kind of cool. Yeah, that's that's
a fun little piece of history. I love crossover. The prophet Mohammed encountered
Gin and even resisted temptations from them, and things like that some believes say
that everyone is born with a gin almost as a guardian angel or a protector.
And then some of them just are bad naturally, and so they whisper
bad nothings into the person's ear, and that's why what causes them to do
bad things and have bad lives. Some of them are are good and help
them protect them from things like that and this and that. Uh Mohammed tells
me to eat too many doughnuts better than animal don't true, but I mean
just saying, like I think, I think mine's pretty good. I mean,
my life doesn't suck, I'm pretty happy. But it really encourages the
donut eating. It was said that that Mohammad had one with him, but
Allah told it to be quiet and leave him alone, not not say bad
things to him, which calls him to live a very pious life. Wow,
so he had some help the ancient kings. Suleman to me, what
sounds like cheating to me, Well, I guess if if you have a
law on your side like that, you might as well take it, I
guess. But it's like, I mean, come on, you're already God's
favorite, and then God's all like m That's what you get for being God's
favorite. I guess still doesn't seem very fair. Teacher's pet. I'm a
hater. You're just jealous. I'm so jealous. Your Gin is causing you
to be envious. Damn you Gin? You all got any donuts? The
ancient kings Suleiman, or as we know him, Solomon, Oh, was
given a ring by God which could control Gin. It was made of copper
and iron, and some stories say it had a gem set in it,
some kind of gemstone Gin jem and he was protected and enslaved the Gin to
build Jerusalem and to fight for him, to take in places, etc.
They were his his go tos. That's awesome. Yeah, you would think
that you would hear more about that. Yeah, yeah, uh. There
there are some fun stories with Solomon and Gin that I encourage you guys to
look for, including maybe some origins of why some fishermen don't open bottles that
they might catch in the in the sea. Ooh, now see that that's
that's some good foreshadowing because we haven't gotten to it yet. That's true.
But we're building a case against Gin here, know that are well, I'll
tell you what. I'll take this minute to say, oh, I like
this to say, uh, No, I don't want any I don't want
anybody coming out of this with a hugely opinionated slant on GIN. I want
to approach this as as more information for everybody because and we'll get to this
soon, GIN aren't by nature extremely bad and want to hurt humans. In
fact, GIN a lot of times just want to leave humans alone and do
their own thing. You do get some of the malicious ones and extremists just
like you do, and you know, maybe a religious zealots something like that.
You know, you do get a few who want to come in and
for their own kicks because they're ass hats. They want to mess with humans
and stuff. But for the most part GIN keeps to themselves and they're they're
fine, and they can be benevolent, you know, when when the situation
calls for it. So I don't want anybody to think that GIN equals demon.
No, No, they are very separate from demons. Right. But
see, all of my research just had the GIN just being like the biggest
universal pains in the ass that whatever felt flew out of Shayton's ass. I
would say, it's like watching any news program in Chicago on any given night.
You're only going to see the bad crap. You're only going to see
about the kids that get shot and you know, the stuff that burns down.
They never made a TV show called Touched by a Gin victim of the
media, thanks Obama, liberal media. No wait, wait, wait now,
I because I don't know where I'm gonna shoehorn this in anywhere else,
and so I'm doing it right now. I have a great example of a
positive media portrayal of Gin. Okay, now, if you're very lucky,
you may have grown up watching it. Was a Hanna Barbara cartoon in the
seventies called Genie, and it was like a little redheaded she female Genie,
a Jenia, and a gigantic, fat male Genie called Babu. And you
know, really, I gotta be honest, I've never seen Genie the cartoon
itself, but I remember Babu because and Flora, You're gonna love this,
because you love crossovers. Babu made it into just about every single other Hanna
Barbara cartoon. He was in the Laugh Olympics, he made it into Scooby
Doo. He was even in some Fred Flintstones, and he had His catchphrase
when he would grant your wish was apple Dapple, And I loved Babu.
He was just a giant horse's ass, and he wasn't really helpful with like
I mean, if you have a genie that can grant wishes, it's not
hard to solve a crime. But somehow it still was. I mean,
he could make like an ice cream cone float through a room and like just
destroy Shaggy's brain. But he could and just say, oh it's old man
McCready. I'm just saying positive media portrayal of Gin and Jeniah. Oh Man,
I think you just made the case that it's not positive though, because
he sounds a little incompetent. He was adorable, and honestly, who in
you could make a case for Velma, But none of the characters and Scooby
Doo are truly competent. Yeah, they spend a lot of time spinning their
wheels and yeah, a lot of a lot of them focused mainly on their
looks, right, so you know, you really and and they're these they're
delightful and entertaining, Okay, I mean it's not like like would you watch
a Hannah Barbara cartoon called like filing Ferret, he's so good at filing.
Seriously, you never have a problem with the paperwork you give him. He's
got a little tiny vest and a bowler hat, but he doesn't wear pants.
But it's okay because he's a ferret. Then yes, I would watch
that. Yeah, but see it's very dull because he just files today's episode
TPS reports. Does he meet go Beckley Peppi? Wow, you do love
crossovers. Sorry, Okay, back to business. Now. I should mention
that Gin can actually be of any faith or none. They could be atheist
or agnostic Gin. It's hard to remember that these guys kind of exist outside
the system. Yeah, that they can just show up and tell you what
their favorite TV show is or not. Yeah, yeah they Let let's go
over the different types of Gin. Yeah, there are there. There are
quite a quite a few. Actually, this part is interesting because it gets
into the classifications of things, kind of like how we did with the ghost
taxonomy. Yeah, yeah, way, there's even crossover with that, see
if you can spot it. So there's kids, get out your pencils,
y'all like highlights, y'all should get out of here. Where's goofers and gallant
y'all should go. Um, the voice of reason noise tells you to leave.
There are there are different races of Gin, just like humans. The
social structure though they do have a social structure has There are five houses,
five main types. I guess the Starks, the Barathians, the gray Joys.
You forgot targetian Um, I didn't. I just don't mention them.
Oh geez Mormont that that little girl had her father? K all right,
Um, gosh, we're geeks. There there are five houses, the Sha
Tin, the Effret, the Ghoul, the Jan and the Mariad. Okay,
And I'll go through each one of those ropes. Start with the Shine
the Sha Tine are These are the malevolent Gin. They're the ones associated with
demonic forces, and they're the ones you see on the news. I'll the
time, right. Yeah. If Tom Skelling could get through one damn weather
report without mentioning the Shade team, that'd be awesome. I'd appreciate it.
I just want to know what the de point is. I watch him for
the pollen camp. It says no one. Ever. Then we got the
if freet This one I think has um. It's clawed its way into some
infamy. I think at least if you play video games, you're gonna have
come across one of these things at some point. I bet the if freet
are intelligent, they are powerful. For the most part, they're pretty malicious
or evil, have some evil intent, although many of them are capable of
being very good and or pious, and they're they're fond of fire as an
if they were considered elemental, they would be fire elemental kind of thing.
Okay, that's the Effreet Again. If if you're into role playing games stuff
like that, you may have run across some of these guys. Okay,
I I don't. I haven't. You haven't played Final Fantasy. That that's
true. It's true, right, My nerd cred is is not as as
expansive as that. Oh it says the guy who brought up Game of Thrones
family names. Oh, I mean it's okay, you're right, all right,
h next one we got is ghoul. Now this these guys we've talked
about. Yeah, um, there are different you know, there are different
spellings for a lot of these, but g h u L it's what I
have. So gho u L. Right, that's what I'm thinking. Right,
that's that's these guys. This is uh that name is derived from the
Arabic anyway. But these guys are the cannibalistic creatures that prey on human flesh
slash corpses. That's gin. These uh, these apparently are are type of
gin A recent change. Yeah, strictly evil. Yeah yeah, wow,
Yeah, that's that's these guys. They what particularly like flesh of travelers,
children and corpses. So if you're at home and there's a guy visiting,
he's gonna get eaten before you probably, And if it's a kid, you're
safe. Yeah, you're fine. And if he's a dead kid visiting,
you're you're Ultimately, that's why I kill all the kids who come to visit.
I've got I've got like a stack of like gin bait. The next
one we got is jen j A N N. That's what I've I've got
for this. Okay, these guys live in the desert. Jan is a
really lovely woman. She likes to crochet sweaters. She's my neighbor, and
she makes the most delightful cran very muffins you've ever had. Also, she's
an ethereal spirit from another dimension. She's a delight and an aquarius. You
should try her pumpkin moose. She'll only make it in Halloween. Thanks Jan.
So Jan can be whirlwinds or white camels that appear in the desert.
They are open minded about humans and are an enemy of the ghoul. So
those they're they're all right now, I've never heard of all my zombie lore
of a white camel storming into the fray. But okay, open your mind
up, dude. Yeah, that's you know what. I could learn something
from the jam because they're open minded. Why can't I be exactly? I'm
like a ghoul and that that pumpkin moose is fabulous. You'll just never taste
anything better. You spend the rest of the year just waiting for it.
You'll wish you had some more. Then we've got the most powerful house called
the Mariid. The Mareid are kind of unruly. They are very knowledgeable of
magic. These are the guys that are mostly associated with the wishes that you
get in pop culture. They're also cea spirits. These these are are associated
with open bodies of water, water spouts, typhoons, things like that.
So those are those are the major major types. Okay, called houses.
Some of the lesser types. One is called hen hi in In. These
are weak gin that are close to animals. They often appear as dogs.
We've got a race called the nos Nos, which the nos Nos. Okay,
these are a week another weak type of gin, and they are literally
they are weak. I mean their name makes them sound like a little bit.
Well they're they're half of a body. If you took a body and
split it in half from head to nethers, nethers and and through one one
half away, that's that's what they are. They are. They hop around
on one leg, they have one arm. It's it's really weird, and
they are malicious in nature. They hop around, that's the How is it
that they have two names but half a body that second names trying to make
up for it. I guess that's the worst. Then we have closely related
the chic, which another lower form of gin. These are half formed gin.
They're they're very monstrous in appearance. Theyre so deformed because right, okay,
they can't like form vultron with the nas nas right okay, yeah,
these are are nasty. Did I question my nerd cred earlier? I know,
right? Yeah, sorry. Then we have the Sila, which are
talented shape shifters. They are very intelligent, often female, very rarely seen
as far as you know, well, because they're talented shape shifters. In
general, gin gin can see humans. Humans can't see gin. That's kind
of how that. It's like a one way mirror type of thing. That's
a lame. Yeah. And then we have probably the most fun lower lower
gin I could tell by the tonier voice. Saving this one for the last.
We have the payless okay, which is not not a very intelligent gin.
It's a desert dweller. But here's what it do. It attacks sleeping
people and drains their blood by licking the soles of their feet. Mouth sounds.
That is the weirdest way of killing a person. Yep, yep,
it sure is. How does that even? They're like feet vampires? So
do they lick it until the skins off then suck the foot or listen?
Man, I don't. I don't question because I don't licking. I stopped
at licking feet. Yeah, all right, I get that. That's not
that's not a thing you want to keep digging at all. Right now,
that's amazing though. So you've got like the the greater and lesser gin who
are we dealing with more on a regular basis. Probably the greater gin.
Okay, the lesser gin might miss with people quite a bit because a lot
of them are are evil in nature, but they're not the ones that are
kind of like tricking tricking people, or they're not the ones that are granting
wishes things like that. I would also imagine this is just supposition that the
lesser gin are kind of like the free gifts with purchase. If you go
through the effort of summoning a gin. No one's no one's going to go
through the effort of summoning a gin just so they could have some half ass
nas nasr ps. Literally, So I imagine you you, you know,
you get your your greater gin, and then a couple of other jackasses fall
through the void. No, I don't know, that's just that's what That's
how I would guess it would happen. It could. I mean, they
seem like the refuse of gin culture. So yeah, now maybe they blow
in on the wind when you get when you get to the point of summoning
gin. Because I actually in my research I came across a lot. I
mean, first of all, if you're looking for real data. If you
need the hard facts, you go to Yahoo am answers right next to the
lyrics of Genina Ba. Yeah, well, you know what. They're both
in the part of the permanent record, and I'm referring to them. Lots
of people. It is a popular thing to try to summon a gin.
People are into this. I did not know that. I didn't know how
big a deal that was, and it usually most of the discussion about summoning
gin is a discussion about what a magnificently terrible idea it is. Right.
One of the things that I found by the Yahoo answers that I've been really
enjoying reading goes, my friend is summoning a gin? Is it dangerous?
And then like four million people screaming, yes, yes it is. You're
an idiot, stop this from happening. As a matter of fact, And
I have a lot of respect for this one response that starts out, I
know absolutely nothing about this. However, I can guess quite a few things
and possibilities that might have been written by me, because that's kind of my
position in the podcast. I have a lot of respect. And then it
actually follows with the longest post answer on the whole thing. Well, sure,
yeah, people that don't know but like to guess, I usually like
to also hear themselves till oh, yeah, I would love to guess.
Lecture like you know, at a university. Just walk into a macroeconomics class.
All right, I don't really know anything about this, but I got
some ideas that I'm gonna force you to listen to for the next fifty five
minutes. Okay, so quarks and minuscule black holes, let's do this.
Yeah, just one more thing to tag onto the types of gin. Humans
have come up with a scale to classify the gin based on color. Now,
whether this is because of the gin's actual color of their skin, or
if this is just kind of like, oh, tourist threat as orange.
Right now, it's leaning more towards humans coming up with this for themselves.
But one way I guess you can tell them apart is this color scale.
It's like the threat level. Yeah yeah, but you could be maybe maybe
they do have this colored skin. Who knows. I mean, they can
shape shift, right, they can have anygether. But blue gin are the
oldest and most powerful and usually are ambivalent to humans. Yellow gin are powerful,
unpredictable, and they're leaders of small clans. Green gin are the youngest
and the most immature. They're very playful and mischievous, and they're curious of
humans. So wait, then, what about is it? What about when
you're a yellow Gin, you're a leader amongst your people, you've established some
cred, but you've been around for a while, you've seen some and it's
time for you to move on to being a blue Gin. Maybe I don't
know. Do they change right? And everyone's look at you, youngs,
do you look like a young gin? Like? Shut up, I'm turning
blue. I don't have to put up with this crap from you, bastard.
It's like Menapaus. You're right, it's embarrassed. Gina pause. Oh
oh that's for free. Oh man, that was really well played. You
still gotta let the belt out on now? You still owe me? All
right? Um? That's that's a very very good question because that kind of
lends credit to it being just a human classification scale as opposed to actual color.
But two more red Gin or powerful, hostile and aggressive, and black
Gin are very powerful thought to be kings, and they don't know if there's
one black king Gin or multiple kings let's go over some of their powers and
stuff. Yeah, can we start with wishes. They can grant wishes,
So that's confirmed. That is that is confirmed, John. It's at a
price, always at a price. Twist. They're often they're often trickster in
granting their wishes. They're twist wishes and the words of the wisher just for
fun. That thing you wanted will ultimately destroy you, right, this is
the classic example. Oh, somebody wishes for a million dollars. Well,
then a day later they get a check in the mail because their parent has
died horribly and their life insurance was in their name or something like that.
Yeah, I want to live forever, and then you get sentenced to life
in jail. Yeah, I want genitals that can touch the ground. And
then your legs get cut off. Oh well, that's the weirdest way to
ask for a gigantic penis I've ever heard. And I've heard a lot of
versions of the classic giant penis. We've said a lot of verses. Oh
man, I have, I've shouted it. So, Yeah, they do
grant wishes. There's not a strict three wish policy. You know. Every
time they'll grant wishes in a bargain. If they strike a bargain with you,
they usually it's because they you know, they want something in return.
And they're always they're not at ms right, they're always looking out for themselves.
But they do have the power to get your stuff now and and and
they they've thoroughly closed the loophole about wishing for more wishes? Yes, question,
what if you wish for more genies? I think you should post that
tower. That's a good question. I'm gonna ask y'all who answers. Now.
The older they get, the like we said, the more power they
have or can attain. But they have to learn the magic and the and
how to do stuff. They aren't They aren't just born naturally, you know,
making carpets fly and giving everybody ice cream until they die. You're ready
for a freebie? Yeah? Did they have to go to the Institute of
Technology? Yeah? Free freebie? Wait man, you guys, your wishes
have been granted. See, so they have to learn these powers, and
they have to want to learn them. They it's it's almost I heard somebody
compare it to having computer parts and knowing what a computer is and what it
does and what it's capable of but you have to learn how to put it
together and then and then it can run something sort of like that. They
got a train in a dojo. Yeah, yeah, they have to have
it a montage at least at least a minute long. Yeah, maybe,
And at one point they got to learn about friendship. That's important. So
keeping one's word and honor are important to them. They are very vengeful if
someone rene eggs on a bargain, but they like to twist bargains. That's
a crap, but they're fulfilling their end. It's just not how you may
have pictured it spectral lawyers. If they renneg on a bargain, you know,
if they go back on their word, they are considered honorless and they're
cast out of their house and are pariah from then on. So they take
it very seriously. Does the house then step in and be like, I'm
very sorry about your wish experience. We'd like to make this good with you.
Is you know, we takes terrible We take all of our wishes very
seriously. Here, Jen Jinko. Again, they have the power to shape
shift. Yeah, they have the power of invisibility, but that's mostly because
they're in a different dimension. Like I said, they see us, we
can't see them. But let me ask you, this is a creature,
an entity, an intelligence that has the power to grant wishes. I mean,
is it after that one? Is it just dumb to list the other
powers a little bit? But I mean, I'm just throwing it out.
I know, I'm not. I'm not calling you dumb, because you're not.
But I'm just saying, like, what's the point of delineating further powers
on a creature that can manifest whatever pops through its head? Yeah? Yeah,
but wait, can they grant their own wishes? Can they make a
rock so big that even then? Well, I mean, because otherwise what
would they need from humans? You know, they strike these bargains. They're
like Irish noblemen in the eighteen hundreds. Uh huh. They have nothing to
do. They just they make wagers with each other and they like titties.
Oh they like them titties. Uh spring Hill Jack's lap. Here's here's something.
They are weak against iron and electromagnetic activity, so our science can defeat
them. Could be wow? Okay? Yeah? Uh. They can possess
humans either by bargain or by force, and when they do it by force.
Usually that's a rape, soul rape. That's that's when you need to
call in an exorcist. This is they think that that demonic possessions are Gin
possessions, and in fact, in Islamic culture, their possessions their their type
of to blair situations, they call in healers to come in and recite the
Quran and try to get the gin out. All right, that's pretty cool.
So they're there. Their exorcisms are focused at Gin. So there,
So this is a really interesting crossover. It almost just seems like semantics gen
demon demon Gin. But in a lot of the literature, a lot of
my research, they're considered they're both real, they're both things. They're operating
in different games. They've got their own interests. But there's an interesting point
at which there is this difference between saying uh An Eastern and a Western approach
that the Islamic culture sort of blames Gin for their their troubles and the more
Christian culture blames demons. In reality, there it's the same thing. Yeah,
yeah, it's just it's just it's semantics, it's whatever you want to
call it. Potato, it's a tatto, right, tomato. Shaitan yes,
it's exactly the way I have that embroidered on my dailies with the no
how Now they can be imprisoned in objects like bottles, rings, lamps,
stones, gems, etc. Boxes, boxes whatever, man, big boxes,
What are you doing? I don't give up? Wow this this machinery.
Mind. Yeah, that's true. We've just got new machinery. I
can't bring the hecks down on me too late. Malicious Gin. We mentioned
this earlier. They disrupt human lives for pleasure or to make humans seem inferior
to God. What it all boils down to is the Gin want to seem
better than humans come judgment day. That's like going to a dog pound and
going, look how dumb you are. I'm so much smarter than you.
Hey, look at this. I I just pretended to throw the ball and
the dog ran because it's dumb. Yeah, that makes that makes the gym
seem very petty. It well exactly, that's that's part of it. But
like I said, that's not all Gin, and that's probably a minority in
the Gin culture. A lot of them just want to keep to themselves,
do their own thing. Yeah, they can be summoned as as we have
said before, but of course they're difficult to control. Yeah, and just
a little fun facts. They will not open a locked door, they will
not untie a knot, and they will not uncover a vessel. So if
you have something you don't want them to take, put it in a vessel
and cover it up tied a knot around it. That's pretty interesting. Yeah,
I just thought that'd be fun to throw in there. So that's gin
in a lamp nutshell, a lamp shape upshell. Wow, Okay, I'm
still thinking, so let me quote my favorite ye off and we answer man
again. I don't know anything about this, but I'm gonna make some gay
if the gin exists in another spatial dimension, perhaps even a higher dimension,
which would explain their ability to just materialize things. Yeah, maybe they don't
need to untie knots or uncover vessels to access the things in there. Maybe
maybe you're not keeping it safe. They're just leaving the knot intact. You
are a Shaytan's advocate, right, I am Shaytan's advocate. That's what it
says in old English letters across my back, so that it could be.
I don't know. That's just why not just stick your face inside and right,
like like the dudes and the matrix. Yeah, from a higher you
know, spatial dimension. It's like it's like a three dimensional thing looking down
into a two dimensional maze. You know, you can see the whole thing.
I know what you wished for, by the way, Oh you do,
And I think I can. I think I can grank. Are you
my genie in a bottle? Must I rub you the right way? No?
No? Yes, everything you said. I'm blond and a teenager,
Yes you are. But I'm gonna I'm gonna grant your wishes for puns.
Oh, give me some pun with dude. I'm so ready to throw down
to pun town. Do you want to start it? Do you want me?
You go? I started last time? All right. I have a
tanning salon okay called Shay Tanning beds. Oh. I like that because it's
it's bad for you. It's a new tan a new Eblis on life.
Oh my god, man, you brought the heat. I don't have no
like to two tiered puns. I have no double decker puns. Whenever you
come up with with products, you always still in a little tag. Yeah
that's true, that's true. Okay, I can do it all right,
I've got uh one of the most popular uh singing stars in in all of
of the Gin community, Jenia Twain. I heard she's in Gin Vegas.
Oh yeah, I don't know. That's that's my punge and I Twains.
Yeah, because she's a lady who's lamp. Have your boots? What else
you got, Flora? And I think I'm ready to go three rounds?
Oh geez, I've got two. I've got a shoe store. Okay,
it's called Payless Shoes. Oh man, I thought of that. I did
think of that, did you. Yeah, you get new shoes lickety split.
Oh because, oh gross, they do like your feet. That was
really good man. Okay, all right, I've got a cartoon from the
eighties called Gin in the Holograms. That's that's that's my cartoon. What did
they do? They play music or did they just well, they play music,
but they also like to mess with people so to make themselves feel better
about themselves. And they're all different colors. Yep. Okay, I have
another one that I can take him two directions. It literally I have this
written out like a flow chart. Oh goodness. Yeah, it's a it's
a store called Gin and Barrett right now. If it's B E A R.
It sells lamp sacks, so that you so that it's it's it's like
um portable storage for Genie lamps. Or if it's Gin and Barrett B A
R E, it's Genie loincloths. Yep, that's right, that's what they
sell. Man better better than the strip club, I guess. Yeah,
Wow, that one's nice. That yeah, that one. That one was
like a transformer of puns. Oh yeah. It really did have a lot
of options on that one. It's all flow charted out. We posed a
question to our Facebook friends ye asking if a gene granted you won't wish,
what would you wish for? And here are some of the results from that.
Sheila says she would wish for the lamentations of her enemies. Oh I
like that, man, wonder how that would come? Yeah? Waiting why
Sheila like your style? Sheila? Man, how's your day? Okay?
Man? Sheila's doing just fine because Sheila has been taking care of her for
a long time. Yeah, nothing wrong with Sheila. Right now, She's
drinking a beer and eating a steak and loving it, which coincidentally causes lamentations
of her enemies. Yeah, her enemies are all cattle. Just is working
through the herd. Listener Isaiah says, more wishes. Bahaha, Now,
well you can try it. I mean I think that they closed that loophole.
I think they might have, but you know what, I have not
had the pleasure of asking one myself for what more wishes? So it could
work. Yeah, I mean, who wouldn't try it? Who wouldn't try
it? It could be its own dead end wish? Oh my god,
wait, I found out. I just thought of how they twist it.
He's like, sure you want do you want? Just infinite wishes? And
every time you ask for anything out loud, he just brings it to you.
Well that's yeah, that's it because I just, oh, man,
I wish our blah blah blah is so much in our lexicon. Right.
Oh yeah, that's how they get you. That's how they twist you.
But unless you you wished for like not having a neck or vocal cords,
you could always I guess unwish that they are there baxies, you have unlimited
wishes. It's like it's it's like saying there's a there's a stone too big.
I get three wishes it's just like winning the lottery. My first wish
is for a gin lawyer that is well versed in Gin wish law. I
want, I want to have it, but a human No, no,
no, I want gin lawyer, okay, who knows Jim law who can
advise me on how to spend my next two wishes to maximum effect. I
want representation. So you're you're getting two wishes and insurance. Yeah, I'm
getting instead of three. God help me. I'm probably gonna end up drowning
in mustard or something. Wishes. I'm gonna I'm gonna take the first wish
and I'm gonna invest it. I'm gonna invest that in proper representation, a
Gin lawyer. That's funny because my first wish an ocean of mustard. Son
of a bitch, you're stupid, bastard. A listener, Patrick says he
would wish for an army of horse sized ducks at his command. That's that's
what that's weird that we mentioned ducks earlier. Yeah, horse size, horse
sized ducks or duck size horses. No, it says horse sized ducks.
Well, I actually says horse sized duck. That's a big figure. There's
more than one, if you have an army well to command, I mean
you could you could you? You could some ship up? Yeah, you
can really some ship wow? Okay, good one. Here's the twist.
They're all actually duck man and have the same personality as Jason and Alexander.
Wow, a horse sized duck m. I mean you could ride it.
But if the Gin were granting this, they would say you're made of clay
and water, which rolls off a duck's book. Oh my god, yeah,
the Gin. You know what the gym would be like? Perfect.
This is a self wish. I don't even have to twist this. Here's
your army of giant ducks. Dumb ass listener, salam Listener. Annie writes
in and says, I'd free the genie. I've seen Aladdin. The genie
will become my best friend and grant all sorts of wishes. I as I
recall you free the genie, he takes off instantly. I really distinctly recall
him leaving here. Yeah, but what about the series. Oh that's not
Cannon, it's well, it's it happens after the freeing of the Genie.
Yeah, but you can't hold Star Wars responsible for what happens during the Clone
Wars. Oh my god, I really did was really did question my nerd
cred. I see, I see where you're coming from. Annie. I
think it's that's it is nice. It seems like a smart genie. Yeah,
it seems like a smart move. Um man, I'm still real smug
about my genie lawyer. I hope that there's listeners going, oh, that
is right, get a genie lawyer, lawyer. I don't think it's smart
though myself, because I think that a genie, a genie lawyer would be
partial to genie. No, he's my lawyer. I don't know, man,
Oh my god. No, wait, that's the twist. I have
to pay the genie lawyer. So that's another wish to pay the genie lawyer.
I don't here's my fee unknowled riches uh. And then we get a
comment by listener Leslie who wants to wish for teleportation. Here's how I would
twist that. I would put her in Zimbabwe right now and be like,
boom, you're teleported. She didn't say the power of teleportation. That's true,
that's how the gin get you. That's a good one, though,
Like I would like tele like the power of teleportation. But here, Yeah,
here's the thing. If you had the power of teleportation, you would
have to establish a room on either end that no one was allowed into.
Otherwise you would eventually materialize in inside of somebody, yeah, or some some
solid object or something. Right, it's always that fear. I mean,
you have to use it responsibly. I guess, well, yeah, I
mean, but it's a teleportation. You've got to be careful. That's a
good one though. Yeah, So thanks for writing in you guys. That's
that's fun. Flora. What what's your wishes? I don't know. Three
wishes? You have to use all three? Dude, you didn't use all
three. I don't think anybody wants to sit here through three wishes of being
like, okay, you get one wish. Mine is for a spectral lawyer,
an ethereal attorney. I a barrister from the beyond. I don't know
how magical, magistrate what because I am sitting here trying to think of a
way to get around, you know, to make something so ironclad they couldn't
twist it. I don't think they're I can't think of it, and not
in the time that we have, So I would just wish for the powers
of Superman. All right, every everything that that Superman can do, I
can do because I want it more. So, Okay, that's pretty good.
I ain't chump. That's pretty selfish, but I would use it for
humanity. Yeah. So I'm doing a disservice to our listeners if I don't
ask. Once you have all the powers of Superman, what's the first thing
you do? Man, I guess fly to Mexico and get a taco.
Because you're Superman, that can't kill you. No, you know what I
would do? It would kill a mortal man to eat a taco in Mexico.
You know what I do? I would I would fly so quickly around
the Earth the opposite direction that I got the day back. Do you know,
I don't know if that works. Horrible idea. Could you imagine what
the oceans would do? Oh? Man, and it wouldn't turn back time
either. That was a mistake that they made in Superman. Yeah yeah,
yeah, still cool though, But it would be fun to screw up the
Tower of Pizza. Would you still do the podcast? Yeah? You would?
You maintain I could set up Could you imagine how fast I could set
this stuff up? But I have to start referring to you as mild mannered
David Flora. Yes, you would, and these glasses do not come home.
Yeah that's pretty cool, man, I could see man. You know
what, Okay, you really make a good point, because I would probably
if I if I couldn't have my lawyer, Because you're right, there's a
lot of ways that could go wrong. I guess i'd go with the powers
of like Wolverine. Hmmmm, before or after Adamantium. I mean, I
mean, obviously after adamantium. But if what if they granted you before adamantium
Wolverine and you had to go through that process. I mean, obviously everything
turns out okay, but do we have that process if I have the powers?
I think I think Wolverine's Adamantium is in itself a power. Okay,
okay, you know it's like Magneto's helmet. Mmm. Okay, well maybe
that's a bad example. Yeah, well but it is Bull's eyes focusing vest
I wouldn't mind the powers of Magneto. That's pretty that's pretty good. That's
pretty good. So, uh, you know what send us in? What
you would want? Superpower? Would you wish? Boy? Right, that's
that's awesome. Nerd this out all day. Oh. By the way,
you know what, you know what the twist is, I get all the
powers of Wolverine and then I fall off the side of a boat and I
have to like trudge my shit up out of the Marianas trench. Oh,
because you're your metal, you'd sink, right yeah. Yeah, that's that's
how they shaft me you and you would die. Right. He can't,
I mean he can't hold his breath and stuff. I mean he I know,
Yeah, no one knows. It's weird. Have they not addressed that?
I can't imagine they haven't. They have to have addressed it, I
mean, because they have every way, means, and way on earth of
totally jacking him up. Yeah, but they put a bullet in his head
and it didn't stop him. Yeah, but there's there's a yeah. Well
anyway, yeah, yeah, sent us, uh, send us what you
what as soon as what dumb ass superpower you would you would wish for yourself.
And also don't forget to include how it's a twist and you're shafted.
Yeah, or we will do it for you. Yeah. Oh yeah,
