Tonight on Bullstone, Battican officials declare socks unnatural and unholy, shows and shoes
united again. Serious allergies developed against wrapping paper. What you and your family
can do? More later, South Carolina identity thieves, Charleston, Charlottean's or
Cameltone baggers, America under seeds the Heartland's teens but chugging milk. Sure the
bones are stronger. Put one about the families? Blank stairs? Are they
several winter rising activities you can do with your sloth? All these made up
things and more? Tonight on Bullstone. Hello, and welcome to bull Stone.
I get to say it because it's a different podcast. I told him
he had to. I'm Dave Stecco, I'm David Flora, and welcome to
our experimental, highly volatile and unstable entity. Yep, holding your hands,
Yeah gets you. Yeah, Bullstone. We're just gonna make sh up all
night. That's right. There is no research. We I promise. We
wanted to do something that incorporated all our friends, friends of the podcast,
people with other podcasts, people with other interests, as as we indifferently.
God that that sounded great and interest his we indifferent me. So tonight with
Laura God, that's why you were charged doing the opening Fenshampaign. Thanks Ors
and Wills. So that's what we're doing. Where we are not We have
not prepared anything. We're just gonna shoot as it were. We have invited
a very special guest tonight and this is this is the format with to do
it, because it's hard to do that in our normal show. This is
an extra thing for you, free of charge. Well, I mean,
we pretend that it's entirely voluntary, but part of it is the ensuing aftermath
of an ongoing plea deal with what I consider to be very small town and
railroading legal system in Scotland. We were implicated in ran afoul of a magistrate
in a situation of Wyvern's side. Yeah. If if you're if you're unfamiliar
with that, or you're already like what the fuck, then listen to blaster
A Podcast episode twenty eight where the David's get them elves into another pick a
whole message rouble. So yeah, we had to plea out with the local
authorities and man, what a pickle that one. Really wavy lines, wavy
lines, wavy lines. This is what Walder Walter in the court word on
all of your shut down, you shit, you shit shut down. Doge
Belardo, do that on command the Doorge Belardo, you can't be the judge.
Wait, yes, welcome to my courtroom. Not only am I the
judge of the Scottish Tribunal, but I'm also the plaintiff. This is this
is some ball This is some serious ballstone. It's a small town Scotland,
all right, David. So we're we're in court leaning against the judge whose
balls we kicked. Correct, you are here by charged with kicking me in
the stairs, and I'm eating wyvern shite on my friend the wyvern who I
bit. I'm actually aware wiver and I transform into a wyvern on the blood
moon. But that's neither here nor there. I think that is somewhat here
and it's all the way there because the wyvern wasn't really a wyvern. It
was doctor Why. It was doctor why, the legally distinct entity from doctor
who. And you spray them down with the milk of human kindness. Right,
we did a real milk job on real thorough milk job there. So
wait a minute, though, but is there any other penning litigation as to
your assault on doctor why me and my assault? Why a ware wyvern biting
a man and transforming him into a wyver and is a proud Scottish tradition.
It's not illegal, no, of course not. But a bollocks kicking a
bollocks kick. Oh I thought that's what you guys did anyway, like for
fun on a Wednesday night, of course, Oh that was a Thursday night.
Well you got us. What's your friend square lads shore, I'll give
you the old Scottish option. You can have one of two sentences. The
first sentence death, the second sentence you have the force to do community shuts.
I got it. I got a good plan for that. I will
grudgingly opt for the ladder, as it seems to have a longer Do you
have any skills of newt No? Well, what do you do in your
free time? Milk jobs? Well, not much is evident, But don't
try to wheedle you on the way into the mercies of my heart. No,
he's right, it's just milk. Got a mercy harness the milk all
right? Well you know we we we do run a pretty pretty tight milk
job ship. I understand, pretty rickety ship called blurry photos Each job milkier
than the less. What's that a photos? Oh, it's a podcast that
everyone hates. We can't do community service though, because we're just we're telling
facts and doing stupid voices that poorly. So so we have to have some
other option that really unshackles us from any research or the truth. Here's your
option, mother, You get your American ashes back to Chicago and you do
a new podcast to supplement bloody photos where you have another human being in the
recording studio with you. Quick question? Does that include a Tory Belardo Tore
Belovardo, my grandson. Yes, not a human being. Here's not not
to play with you any longer. You're both on yet all three of your
timeout legal time out counter offer. If we can't get to Tory Belordo,
what's the next best thing you can do for us? He does have a
roommate smells of altmands, the gangreness Mark so long indeed an ungainly fellow,
shallow and complay, fastidious and is grooming. But what's the point when you
look like that? Le Yes, Mark Sholoff will do nicely. Now get
the hands from the room of my card. Wow, no time passed,
but we were all just remembering something together. So, ladies and gentlemen,
first episode of Bullstone, please welcome Mark Sola. Hello everybody. Yeah,
he's been in the basement doing cocaine and lifting weights for the last four hours,
so we think he's about ready and I'm all out of weight, right.
You not only are the creative engine behind the engine? Yeah, what
are you like a racist cowboy from the nineteen fifties not earlier. Not only
are you one of them creative engines. It was a sand drawn for him.
But yeah, the nitro burning funny car. That is Blaster a podcast.
That's true. I do make a podcast if my very own with and
much like blurry photos, with a couple of little side dishes to that extra
hot entree. What else you're serving up hot and fresh marks? What am
I serving up well? Within the Blaster Podcast network, within the Blaster Podcast
umbrella. I also like to do different types of episodes, so we do
something called microsodes. When I say we, I just mean myself. I'm
a very lonely person. We do. I do microsodes. But I get
it though, because like Detoria Belordo, is this this character and you feel
like it's two people. It's the same way that I do this David Flora
character and people feel like there's two people in the podcast. It's exciting,
right when you're not the Crimson Knight out fighting for justice, right, David
Floras the real anyway? I know? Uh yeah, Blaster Podcast. I
do microsodes, which are little versions of the episode. And I also do
a thing called Muffed Movie, Yes, which is a podcast where de Tore
this character that I play is not involved and me and my friend Andy act
out movies that we like by memory, which is pretty great. I listened
to that and I've enjoyed it. So everyone else listening to this shit,
it's on the same de Leo. If you subscribe to Blast your podcast,
you get Muff Movies. Correct. Muff sort of hijacks the Blaster podcast feed.
It's kind of unfair to the listener. Well, you know, we
we have an arrangement like that with a couple of middle aged Southern women that,
yeah, kind of do the same thing. Sorr is that is that
the cat of candy er right? Did I get it right? The cat's
eyes? Yeah, the cat and the eyes is something I genuinely am uh
uh jealous of with your podcast. You guys speak a lot of languages,
and so you can out you got to speak like two languages. We have
memorized between us two words and that is that is the sad truth. Yeah,
you can bust out words like adobe and crape, suzette, dreadnought.
I'll say this. I have been learning Ukrainian from my co worker Nikola Yospovitch
Misko, who has been teaching me a pretty good handful of of of Ukrainian
I can get. I can get that osmosis over to me. So yeah,
yeah, did you say dupa? Yeah, because that's also Polish for
but yeah, there you go. Ukrainian and Polish very similar. Mmm.
So don't tell them that, yeah, punch, punch punch, Okay,
no, you know that's the thing Western western Ukraine they love Poland really yeah,
it's the East two is a bunch of dicks, Honestly, shoes.
Honestly, I know nothing about the Ukraine. My apologies to any Ukrainian listeners.
I's just not very well schooled, dude. We're huge in the Ukraine
and it's and it's it's fine because the Ukraine they're gonna be re redrawing some
of those lines. Anyway, they're gonna be rebranded. There's gonna be new
Ukraine. It's the Yo Ukraine. It's an interactive experience that the whole family
can enjoy. No, they're gonna they're gonna join NATO, try to get
some German protector ship and will be Ukraine. But with the Uh, one
of the things that we wanted to do with with bull Stone is still still
stay within our realm of UH weirdness and and fun unknown mystery times. Yeah,
but talk to our friends and what we decided to do for this premiere
episode and this episode, we're gonna talk about a little bit of time travel.
That's that's our that's our jumping block, that's our spring board. That's
a little thing that Ampline and Mario that you never get right, you know,
you don't. It's true if you jump on it and you go right
into that hole. Wait wait, wait wait, I got something from Mark
here, So I would say that discussing time travel would be the Eazon detra
for this episode. Drowning in My Tournament Job, more Locked ps Yo Best
New science Fiction Show, Morelock Holmes. So, um, yeah, what
we're gonna We've done no research. We This is one of the we refused
to do. We refuse to research any of the topics that we're going to
talk about on bullstones, vaccine deniers. I've just listened to Katy Perry for
the last three days, so I guarantee there's nothing useful about to come out
of me. This is a useless sidebar. What's the big deal with Katy
Perry? Is she doing something these days? Because this is the third time
I've heard Katy Perry today. Today, she's just big on your mind.
You know why, because Illuminati I went. He just nuzzled up through the
windscreen filter into the mic. You got a pet it with your nose sometimes
I call it Kata Parry in it wo. I was at a I am
I'm I'm an adult ass man. I'm a grown ass man. I'm thirty
eight years old, like a tough guy would be, and thus implying anyone
not thirty eight lesser than but um, I work with a lot of really
great people, really wonderful people, but they're like all in their mid twenties,
too young. Yeah, So when I go to like, like I'll
go to a party at their house and I don't know what thes happened,
right. All I know is that I'm drinking better liquor than they are because
I take a bottle and I hide it in the house and then I go
back to it. That's not a lie. It's really not a lie.
But I was at a party and they were playing music videos and I was
first. First of all, I was like, holy crap, this is
it's a music videos exist again. Oh And the two things that I saw
were turned down for what which is one of my new favorite music videos.
Is that a song about different hotel service options you can have like five dollars
extra. It's what. It's a little John Oh who's making a triumphant comeback.
And the song is I mean, the songs whatever, it's it's all
right, but the music video is art. It should be in the Smithsonian,
it's how good it is. The other thing I saw was a Katy
Perry video for a song I don't remember where everything was Egyptian and so do
so batch crazy that I I mean, I was drunk when I saw,
but I was like, it made me question my sobriety because I couldn't follow
it. And then somebody's like, no, it's just like that. So
you pulled a man aside as though you had just time traveled, and You're
like, am I looking at sequential information on this television? Or am I
so drunk? He's like, no, dude, it's it's crazy like that.
Yep. I was like, just does this make sense to anyone else
that's watching it? And then everyone just looked at me, and I was
like, no, I need an answer, and they're like they're like years
old. Yeah, They're like, buddy, you should, aren't you tired?
You got some home to your kid VHS tapes on the porch if you
want to go look at I would have fallen for that trick that you guys
have a skippet or a boppet. Too old for boppets. It was it
grown ass man when that were you? Hey, Green Machine? Were you?
Green Machine nineteen seventy eight, light bright. It's like a big wheels
but it had two handles that you could like rotate it using too. If
you look at the Blaster podcast Twitter, I just posted a link to its
commercial, The Green Machine. I don't know why I'm so into it.
It's like ten, eleven, twelve years old. Oh old enough for the
speaking of the Green Machine boys will have fast fun. That's awesome. Yeah.
I had a big wheel that was a night Rider themed. I think
mine was too, and it had the power break. It had the power
break on the side. No Stalgia. I I outgrew it, so I
used to ride it kind of like one of those razors, Like I would
stand on it and like it standing up. Oh yeah, hello, I'm
twelve. So to answer your question, now, I don't know what's going
on with Katy Perry. What I have seen confused to me so much that
I had to ask for outside help. So uh so time travel, Mark,
what do you? What do you know about time travel? What do
you? Well? I know lots about Tell me you know lots about them.
Why haven't you made any money off the The thing about time travel is
knowing about it as a bit of a curse because everyone wants something from you.
Yep, doesn't matter. It's like winning the lottery. Yeah, like
even your own family. As soon as they find out that you know what
time travel is and how to manipulate the time stream, the time space membrane,
as soon as you approve to them, you can pierce that deftly with
your subtle knife. Then all of a sudden, it's like it's not I
mean, it's not super literary because it's like young adults. Still I didn't
read it even see I think of myself as a smart person, or I
used to, but I realized, like I don't read anymore. I haven't
since two thousand and six, and like I welcome home, thank you additionally,
And this might be gender biased. I feel like women read more than
men do nowadays. I could see them and I it's not like it's not
like that's a bad thing, but it makes me feel like not only do
I think of myself as smart, but I'm not, but also like I'm
part of the losing gender because a guy the gender war is coming. I
mean, tell much start and water colloidal silver. I guess it doesn't matter
that women read more than men, except like I'm like, hey, i'd
like a woman to be impressed with me, and like this is one more
thing that makes me less impressive in the ship. The ship on me impressing
a woman has so long since sailed. I have that that's not true.
Year a triathlete, you're thirty eight years old, a grown asthect you just
across Iowa. You bring good liquor and you hide it like a like a
like a Ukrainian spy. Anyway, time travel. Honestly, I don't know
anything about time travel. I watched some doctor who didn't like it. Oh,
I watched three seasons of it. I guess I liked it enough.
Yeah. See, I love time travel. I think about it all the
time travel travel. I think that if I think that, uh, if
you did learn to do time travel, the people bothering you for things would
not be your family. It would be other versions of you showing up in
your timeline. Oh yeah, with your life. Yeah, they'd be like
seventy two Daves hanging out my apartment breaking things like what if there was a
story about you and other time stream used just keep on coming and fucking with
your ship. Yeah, And they're like, wait, we don't get on
this bus today, And you're like what A right? I guess you know?
Yeah, And then and then then like the third Dave is like,
no, no, no, you really should get on the bus. That
Dave there's some information he's not entirely privy too. Yeah, you really should
get on the bus. Yes, it's too weak to go through the hard
time, don't talk to him, don't talk to that man. And then
the worst is like this other Dave comes. It was like, listen,
I've tried it both ways. I'm gonna tell you there's no easy path,
there's no there's no right earth, there's no wrong. You should just do
whatever you're gonna do, but know that there are consequences. We're gonna lose.
That's the worst, Dave. I want the day that promises me salvation
or not getting up of us. What would you what would be the first
thing you could do if I could time travel? Yes, if I give
you a watch right now? That said, all you have to do is
enter a date. Oh, we're talking like a calculator, Harry Potter calculator.
Watch. It's a Cassio nineteen eighty four calculators. No, it was
because nobody really knew how to use those. Okay, then it's a Nintendo
Power glove. Yes, that's what it was. Yeah, there's a dead
dog on the floor. I wish this are a video podcast because because Dave
Flora's is his little dog is wearing like a little Bulls jersey PROCs. Sorry,
I don't know how sports and it just suddenly stopped moving and is lying
completely still. It's about the size of a big squirrel. She's been lulled
to sleep by our sonorous voices. Our self did elation. Yeah, she
had a walk so she's napping. She had walke Yeah, a little clover
field. Anyway, if I could, so, your your Nintendo power glove
has been given to you. Take that, Fred Savage, I'm gonna play
Mar three with his bitch war Zone. Uh so, yeah, what what's
the first thing you would do? Where? Where would you go when?
Make it easy? Forward or backwards? Right off the bat? So okay?
Uh forgetting all the responsibility of destroying history, which I mean we need
to consider if your time travel. We'll get to that. The butter Field
effect, this butters Worth effect, the butter the butterfall, the Missus Butterworth
effect. I would go forward. Yeah, yeah, I'd go forward because
here's the thing as a young black man. I'm sorry, young man,
Uh, here's the thing going forward? He means it, He's really sorry.
You could see all sorts of interesting things going backward, all sorts of
like horrible dangers and maybe the experience to relive history. But I'm not a
huge history buff so it doesn't hold that mystique for me forwards, forwards ever,
dawn ever onward. I go back and forth because I feel like I
would really be at home like in the late forties. I can't emphasize late
forties enough, Like I think that if man, where's hell? I acknowledge
that I don't. I don't have any preconceived notions that video games taught me
that it would be somehow cool. Oh, it would be terrible. I
don't want to do it. What about the late forties appeals to you,
like, because then you get to live through the fifties. I love like
old fifties music. It's one of my favorite things in old rockabilly and roots
country. Like I would like to be alive in those times. And I
think it's it's hard to keep in your mind at the entire picture. Well,
I mean like there's there's there's a pretty bigoted time. You know,
it's like things were still very messed up and wrong then. But but there's
a lot of things that I would really enjoy. Um. I think it's
a fun time. I like the style of it. I you know,
like a guy can could be a mechanic his whole life and buy a house
and raise a family on it. Like, yeah, these were I mean,
it was a it was a cool time. I would be okay with
that. But if I had to pick one direction or the other. Ever,
onward to the future, how about I think I would go in the
future as well. Whoa ut, Yeah, I I I have to think
though that I would go there and then watch, you know, as everything
is is burning and melting, and then be like, all right, well
back to the eighteen hundreds, I go, whoop sees, let's assassins this
a little bit. I have a I have a very pessimistic view of what
I would see. I think I don't think it's gonna be power lasers and
hoverboards. But but here's what I think though, I think that's just a
question of how far forward you go, right, because if you press past
the Great Flood, yeah, and go forward to you know when when New
Stone Age, New Bronze Age, the nanopurge asteroid collision. Yeah, you're
just you're just naming off that guy Pierce time Travel movie, Schine time Machine
dot com. H So uh if I could you know how in a first
person shooter, if you're playing multiplayer, you get killed and the rest of
your squad is still a live you like go around in ghost mode, like
spectator mode, just watch them fight without any body, Like I would like
to do that into the future. So that way, like if you know,
if in the future, like there's terrible radiation or like unsavory circumstances,
I could witness it, but I wouldn't have to experience it. That's basically
how I live my life as the first person. If you just had a
breakthrough man bull stoned, Yeah, busted. It's the greatest joy to pimp
Florida into having to make sense. We haven't done pimps full act. Yeah,
it's really great pimping Flora's audio engineering abilities. You're going to make a
career out of this plan. He's going to become so good at creating these
diverse sound effects that will work for I l M. Yeah, we need
a sad thundercloud that's full of zinc. And he's like, yeah, I
got three of those. Yeah, how sad are you talking? Thought it?
Yeah? Oh Standard Juice Jr's nawski So okay. So so that's what
you do. What do you how how far in the future would you would
you go I'd start, you know, just like working out, you start
a little bit and you work your way out, so like ten years,
five years. Yeah, I'd probably started five years and say I'm so like
self interested. I'd be like, I wanna kind of ghost of Christmas future
this and see where I am five years from now, so I can like
change that if I don't like it. Spirit, Oh, it's Screwge,
not the biggest idiot that he's the ghost that looks like death is like takes
him to a graveyard and points to the grave and he's like, tell me,
it's not me who's dead in the future, Like everyone dies in the
future, you idiot. Of course it's you, Screwge, you dumb bastard.
You no money, and that's it. But let me teach you biology.
But you know what, though, here here's a question for you.
So, so if you went five years in the future to observe future dark
Mark Solof dark Mark Solof, well hopefully by that point in time he's later
yeah, well hopefully no offense young black men. But I'm doing the bleaching
techniques. So you go, you see Mark Soloff in the future. How
so fat as a person? Who I mean, I mean future Mark Solof
will recognize you. So how do you learn? How do you learn you?
Oh? So how do you learn? Also in the future, we
all live in chambers because it's so hot you have to hang out in your
air conditioned egg. How do you learn it? Drops my master, I'm
sorry now past me, I'm bating your bat. So how do you how
do you learn about you? As I mean, do you just stalk you?
Yeah? You gotta like you gotta wear like a trench coat in the
fedora and be like the guy who disappears around the corner every time. Future
you notice it because you wonder like if if the if the current level of
like I mean not active but like passive survey alance. People have camera phones,
you know, and then you with the Google glass. All that's gonna
get super small. And did I say that, like Frank no going God,
they're watching um so you know, all that gets shrunk down. Everyone's
going to have this kind of omnipresent ability to observe everything around them. Like
it would be hard to learn about yourself in the future because keep in mind
that you don't you don't know what all the pieces on the board are.
You're you're you're you're a five year old old shaved ape. You might as
well be carrying a club. So five years, for five years, do
you think Mark so long is gonna be so techno like plugged into everything that
Dave ye Dave Stecko from five years ago would be chewing on the furniture in
here. He was an idiot's sexy, sexy idiot, a Ukraine less idiot.
Yeah nah man, nah nah me. In five years, he's not
going to be paying attention looking for some past me to be observing him as
he goes about his daily business. That's a good point to our listeners,
be vigilant for for your your your what is it chrono chrono doppelganger, chrono
gangers, trademark chronogoners. So the other thing is if assuming that we don't
get into like some time paradox thing where if I touch him we zap,
right, we negate each other, Like why not go up to him and
be like, hey man, it's me. How's it going? Yeah,
look look at the mole, you know it's me, and be like,
what's your advice? How do things go? I know that one time you
masturbated to and then just say the truth and the other person be like,
oh to that video game commercial. Yeah, I did you know that?
I just really like jet set radio feature. Oh could I could I,
uh pause, swipe open a new tab here? Okay, my any mnemonic
minority report futuristic screens with your three fingered glove. Huh yeah, that you
have here in the Bullstone studio. Oh yeah, very nice. By the
way, um, it's all white like Zion. So Flora's girlfriends in the
living room floating in a pool of milk seeing the future. So, in
anticipation of this podcast, I watched like fifteen minutes of a special on time
travel. Oh nice research rears. It's ugly head. Oh oops, well
I wasn't paying close attention. Oh okay. So, according to physicists,
time travel is possible in a sense. So according to them, we live
in an actually four dimensional environment. We have our three dimensions spatially, and
time is its own dimensions. So as we exist, we passed through this
dimension of time. The faster you go, the slower you perceive time,
or the slower that the time outside of your moving vehicle seems to go.
Relativity motherfucker. Yeah. So like in theory, if you could travel super
duper fast. When you stop traveling, the world will seem to have aged,
whereas you will, to your point of view, will not have aged.
Yeah, if you could approach light speed, you would. Actually you
can kind of fake a one way ticket future time machine. You could do.
I have I have a workaround to that I have around. Here's my
reach around for this. It gets real Ard the Capital, I'm sorry,
so damn time travel three I've ever heard? Okay, be increasing my mask.
So here's my here's my workaround to time travel. And this is I'm
pretty pleased with this because it also solves the grandfather paradox. Like in my
theory, you can go back in time and totally murder your grandfather and you're
fine. Arm. So here's the thing. Uh, parallel universes, oh
infinite, and so there are out there. There exists BioShock, there exists
a parallel universe that is identical to the one you in. That the one
that you the one that you live in. However, in an infinite variety
offset chronologically from your own to a degree, you could select presumably, so
you could go to a parallel universe that is twenty years behind or twenty years
ahead of your own. You could show up to that place, murder yourself,
peace out, and like there's there's. Because it's completely separate entity,
you could actually observe everything. So to help break this down for the layman
in the audience, if your local theater is performing Romeo and Juliet and the
theater the next town over is also performing Romeo and Juliet, you could travel
to that other town's theater and if their theater starts twenty minutes later, yeah,
yeah, you're watching Romeo and Juliet like in the past. Yeah.
Or you could even kill one of the actors and then return back to your
hometown and continue watching the play as it was written. It's like a parallel
play going on parallel universe. I'm real smart, you guys. Yeah see,
you got it. But that's the thing, Like, how do you
I don't know how you would dial that in or anything, but that's that's
how universe is. Sliders, Yeah, sliders, just eating tiny hamburgers.
I swear to god it, I've eaten enough White Castle once. Then I
saw the curvature of time and space. I was right up against it.
That's where the secret lines. Then I passed out I mean, there is
the theory that they're with every choice that you make, it spawns a new
universe, a new parallel universe, and you germany that to me, that's
a little I get it. But like every choice that every person makes is
there's too many mantle. It seems a little narcissistic. Like because an animal,
like an ant, you know, walks out of its little hole,
it gets like a chem trip no, not chem trim, it gets a
chemical signal, and it's like, oh, I should walk to the left
because that's where the food is. You know. It's like if that ant
had walked to the right new universe, right because it chose left new universe,
like you know some things that can things just happen like you don't.
And and to the idea that our choices that you know, I choose to
punch the microphone right now and make a loud noise, then there's a universe
that flips off where I didn't do that. Like it seems very philosophically satisfactory.
But like in the reality of existence, so many things we do are
so arbitrary that that infinite universes would be popping off all the time because there's
so many critters doing so many things, and like why would I have to
stop with life forms? Why not? Like a piece of dust settles slightly
leaning to the rights, like if it's settled to the left, a new
universe. Well there is where did you draw the line, America? There
is actually experimentally verified physics research into that exact question that is fascinating and interesting.
Um. So, for example, say an electron, you have electron,
You have an electron. You have an electron gun that just fires electrons.
Now, electrons enjoy a thing called wave particle duality. These wave particles
are good same thing that photons do, and so they move in a wave,
but they're also discrete particles. Um. And if you are firing out
tons and tons of electrons from a single point, they move out in waves,
just like ripples on water. Now, say you have two guns that
are all that are shooting at the same wall. They're emanating waves that those
two those two waves will interfere with each other. The peak of one wave
will hit the trough of another and they'll cancel each other out, or two
peaks will go and it'll be even a higher energy. And so you get
what's called a diffraction pattern on that far wall, and so you'll see um
areas of higher you know, high energy low energy based on how these two
waves interact with each other. Assuming you know both guns are shooting the whole
time. Here's a fun fact. If you shoot those guns one electron at
a time like poal bang pow bang pow bang. No, imagine, I'm
sorry, and you've got one gun that shoots. There's slats, So the
electron right slats. The electron can either go through the door on the left
or the door on the right, and then onto the detection array in the
end. If you have a detector on those doors, the electron, you'll
you'll detect oh, it either went left or right. If you don't have
the detector there and just have it on that back wall. Even if you
fire each electron individually, what you'll end up with is a diffraction pattern because
that electron is actually still interacting with itself in what's called superposition until it is
detected. Until that, until something determines the position of that electron, it
is occupying all possible positions of the electron. Is this Heisenberg's uncertainty principle?
No, though it's closer to Schroedinger. Heydinger's I'm sorry, Heisenberg uncertainty principle
says you can't know the position and velocity of a particle at any given moment.
The more the more you know one, the less you know the other.
But Schrodinger's cat um, what that speaks to is superposition. Until you
open the box, the cat is both alive and dead. And this this
is not like some theoretical thing that people hope works. It's the reason your
cell phone works. UM. Integrated circuitry is built using this, this this
phenomenon. So you have, for example, UM, an electron has what's
called a probability cloud. UM. You know, you know, it's pretty
close to this position, and the further out you get from there, the
less likely it is to be there. So it's not exactly like the little
model that old what s his name near Neil's brow throughout there. Yeah,
and well that's where you get into like the rings the quantum uncertainly uncertainty of
it as opposed to Newtonian physics, which things are a little bit more locked
down about it. Yeah, it doesn't look like a little solar mini solar
system in there. Yeah, so you there's a cloud and there's the rings
quote rings. It's like, well, we know that there's a couple of
you know, electrons that are popping around this area, and there are there
like valence orbitals and things like that. But so if you imagine where an
electron is as a cloud, if you were to take a material that is
electron impermeable that electron can't get through, and just put it through a section
of cloud with the exact same statistical probability, the electron will still appear on
the other side of that barrier with the exact same amount of the time.
And this has been proven scientifically, lock solid. It is. It is
one of the foundations of modern electronic proven by observation though right, yep,
proven proven. I mean it's it is mathematically I think mathematically electron lobby,
big electron. But yeah, no, it's it's real. And it sounds
crazy, it sounds made up, but it is. They've they've they they
exploit this behavior into how a lot of integrated circuits work. Now, this
is something I was worried about, y'all guys, because I'm sorry, Yan's
guys, because sunk Because as I said, I think of myself as a
very smart person, but I'm actually a dumber than I think of myself.
I know, over here, over here, I knew this conversation was gonna
become one about physics, and I knew that it was gonna get too lofty
for my dumb brain to understand. So thank you for taking us into the
realm of science, which I appreciate. But at a certain point in time
travel discussion, especially when we bring it into the real world, which is
the worst place for it to be, right, my brain bends and breaks
because it's brittle. Now I need to go see a fine piece of steel
blow like a like a piece of Damascus. Oh oh steel in the Middle
East. It's right. We all used to be on an improv team called
Damascus Steel, although not all at the same time. They know that already.
I know. I'm just repeating it because people like repetition. Yes,
if you don't like repetition, you can repeal the thing that we just said.
Submit a repetition repellation form ah to blurry photos slash Bullstone dot time Travel
at NPR dot org, Ira dot glass. That's right, get him,
seriously, there's a brittle man that needs to have his mind shattered. Well
yeah, sorry, sorry, very hateful, but I think that we're probably
gonna have to do an Ira Glass intro. Now I can't even I can't
him beginning with Fred Armison does a brutally great Ira Glass though he's like got
the lockdown on hipster comedy. Yeah, yeah, like hipster's power comes from
his glasses. Yeah, it's true, it's crazy, and Kerry Brownstein's awesome?
Is she the girl from Sex on the City's she the goil from Sex
on the City? Do you know? How? Okay? So what is
the show? It's just a bunch of horse running around buying shoes as a
New York Why can't you act like a lady? Get what are these sailors?
Don't you write about the war? Why don't you report something good in
your articles? They never got an episode where they vote the irresponsible? How
much to spend on your hand? This is no longer Bullstone. Yeah,
this is podcast by the oldest podcasters available, complaining about pop culture where I
work is predominantly female, and I don't know much about Sex in the City,
And I, up until like a year ago, thought that the main
character's name was Carol and I got my ass kicked so hard about that.
Oh, no time travel, time travel to move past your five year stocking
plan, self stocking, self stocking, I would not I would have no
interest because I would never listen to me. I've thought about this, like,
if I could go back in time and talk to me, if you
could turn back time, if I confound way it Flora put that picture of
me in the fishnet bodysuit straddling the guns on the USS Iowa destroyer, could
tell you, dude, deleted it deleted once again. Full nuzzle happening any
do exist? Yeah, I would not talk to myself. I would go
my my shortest interval, and I would have to be talked into only going
five hundred years in the future. One thousand years boom wow. Yeah,
that's where I want to go. You're not interested in what happens to the
immediate like your monkey sphere. Yeah, no, one thousand years, five
hundred if I have to, if the gas is expect it's oh yeah,
it's expensive. It turns out for time travel you need a powdered stratavarius.
That's that's the only way that they that it works. You need a banana
peel. You need to hold like some coffee grounds. Yeah, mister fusion.
Do you know when I was doing that bike ride from Iowa, I
used to in my own mind because I was doing it myself. I was
a joke that I felt like, mister Fusion because you pull into a town.
I was like, I'll take a with left and that canned beer.
You got pie, I'll eat that piece of pie. That's good for another
sixty miles. I did feel like, mister Fusion, that's awesome. You're
human garbage display. I truly am so like they they talk about um time
being circular, Well, right, yeah, you know, we perceive time
as a as a stream, as one thing leads to the next thing leads
to the next, and there's no going back. It's a it's a fast
flowing river and you're caught in it and you're just trying to avoid the rocks,
right, and the rocks so the time rocks are langoliers. Yes,
oh oh, that's a that's a fun one. But the the new I
think the theory is that time just it's all there in the same so we
just have a weird perception of it that we see it as this continuity when
really it's just a simul simultane everything's happening at once. I guess that's I'm
probably talking about something different than what I started talking about because I saw go
back to woos uh so I watched like a nova or discovery thing once.
But they're talking about time space, how time and space are linked. I
say humans perceive time if you imagine time as like a loaf of bread,
we like imagine that is the loaf sliced up, and that we move from
like one slice to the one in front of it to the one in front
of it as time sequentially progresses. But it's actually all just one loaf existing
at the same time. So all events in the future exist already, All
events in the past are currently existing. We're just perceiving them one thing at
a time. That's I think what I got. I might have been stunned.
You almost have to be. You almost have to be to really like
dip into it and makes it more palatable, that's for sure. If it
helps me to think of it this way. If we have our Nintendo Power
Glove of time travel us right here, sitting here in the old studio,
time travel fifty years in the future and let's say we pick a day,
I don't know, it's it's it's our independence Thursday now, yeah, it's
Thursday. Now we time travel into you know, Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday,
Tuesday of of you know, twenty preferred, and everything that that happens
there happens at a certain time. But everything that's happening back in this time
is still happening at the same time. So everything, Yeah, the the
totality of time is always moving forward. It's just where are you on the
what piece of real estate on the timeline are you looking at? In a
way, yeah, so if we were able to travel back, then we
can come back to this time now we we would be older, I guess,
for having lived through the time that we perceived in the future. But
back in this timeline, we could come back right to the moment that we
left as if we you know, never traveled at all. But everything is
moving at the same time along. I yet, I yet, the entirety
of it is moving simultaneously forward. So no matter where you are, whatever,
whatever part you're seeing is moving forward even though the other parts are also
moving forward. It's just like a guy in Cincinnati is doing his taxes at
the same time I'm in Chicago hanging out with supermodels, right right. That
means that there's no guy doing his taxes in Cincinnati. Now. I read
a book a few years ago that I have to reread because I really didn't
get at all. But it was called The End of Time, and they
postulated that there is no such thing as time. Sure that time is just
an artificial construct that helps us understand the world around us, but it really
doesn't exist, and that what we're really measuring is the rate of entropic decay
in our part of the universe at any given moment. And then that pendulum
swings back and forth. So what point of the pendulum are we on.
It's swinging in one particular direction, which with a very predictable result and a
very mathematically proven it is a rate of entropic decay. And that's what they're
the it's I mean, I should have it would have been research, and
we don't. We don't research this, bull stone, bullstone, ain't no
learning going on? Dot NPR, dotn't it now? And tropic decay for
the Lanen's for the getting Layman's right, Am I right? Am? I
right? High five? So that was a good high five. It was
crisp, but it also felt emotionally solid, like it wasn't like one of
those high fives of the coworker. It's just like contacting. You're done.
It's like when when two bros in a bar high five flappy high hands stays
there for a second trying to push from a beer commercial that you'd hear on
the radio. You know. I don't know who wore a best share or
Marilyn Manson, but that was a good anyway, Cherylyn Manson. So in
tropic decay and traffic decay for the layman, as far as I understand,
it is energy dispersing or or or organic matter decaying breaking down? Right?
Is that? What energy is the decrease of order in a system, and
which every system is measured by heat. I'm an agent of chaos every system.
I'm an agent of hydra. Whoa spoiler, I'm an agent of shield.
That's the only other one. I'm an agent of Lily's talent and uh
so, so every every system is is decaying. Yep. I think they
refer to like the the entropic decay of the universe is the heat death of
the universe. Heat is is the agent of decay. It is it is
lost energy to a system. So that's almost sexy. Podcast almost started another
another universe. Everyone's getting laid. Who listens to this podcast? Okay,
let's sex it up a little bit. If you could travel Okay, Uh,
people who have significant others in that listening audience call in BWL dot Stone.
Uh if if you have a significant other and you're a grown adult,
but you could travel back in time to perhaps a younger sexier period in their
in their life. Maybe I don't know how old you're significant other is,
let's say five years. How many of our listeners feel they had a younger,
sexier period. I was definitely I was sexier when I was in college
than I am now. I've filled out in all the wrong ways. Uh.
Yeah, you could go back in time and seduce your your your younger
sexier partner. Would you call in? Wait? Partner not self? Right?
Alin Hanks? What you wouldn't? Wait? You said partner? Right?
Look you like, wait, what were not? We're all thinking self?
But I wanted to make it, you know, cause we were comfortable
with that. I mean, on that same if, I mean, what's
the difference if you say that, but it's it's different. Well, would
I would I annihilate myself if I grabbed No, let's see if I grabbed
my time. We're not on time cop rolls on this one. Let's yeah,
in another episode where we have to stayed explicitly that we're not bound to
the reality of John Cloud Van Dam. I'm so tired of saying that.
So are you saying that? Like current, you would go back in time
to woo past wu tang, past ladies, lady times or dude times if
you're whatever past current significant Yeah. Well, here's the thing is, like
the past version of your significant other would be like, who are you?
Old? Balls? Right, You'd be like, hey, I'm your fan
from the future. I barely voted those marks lends back then. Yeah,
I think you think thirty eight, although although its younger could be less powerful.
I will say this though in my own defense, I genuinely believe that
I just get sexy as I get older. I feel like like past me
is worse and everything. No, past you was a Shalloon expert, currently
is a Shallon expert. Yet No, back when I was in the Shallon
school, I was like, I was just about three hundred pounds. I
was in normoust three hundred pounds of shallolon might it was a shallon panda bear.
How were you doing that ship? How are you punching beans every morning
in a hauling water up hill? You know that's the thing I trained.
Probably it was like a second job. I trained like almost thirty hours a
week. But I don't know how as much as I trained, oh,
way more, way more. I don't know how. This never crossed my
mind that I would on the way home from kung fu school every night,
I'd be like ten thirty, I'd be driving home, be like, it's
trying to give me some Windy's. Yeah, I went every night after kung
fu. Oh Jesus right, that'll stop your heart. Yes, you should
go back to a past Dave and be like, hey, we can be
real sexy if you stop eating Wendy's every night. Yeah that's true, you
do a lot better. But yeah, you'd be like, what's the other
option is dick? Yeah? So yeah, no, that's yeah. So
I feel like I do get better over time, so I would be woefully
Yeah, I wouldn't. I would never current Dave would not get to score
with past Dave's ladies so you wouldn't you wouldn't let past Dave give current Dave
a handshop? No, I mean it's just your hand. No, it's
not unfamiliar territory, not my hand. Nixon's not going to focus. It's
a hand. It's a different same body, hands from a three hundred pound
cong Fu guy, there's no hand. I would at least let let put
when Jo came to I don't know how I want to play grab bass with
my past self, not Flora, thank you. I don't know. I
don't know Stecco's current romantic affiliation. But you have a serious romantic relationship.
Yeah, I'm sure. So would you? Would you time travel back in
time and uh and hook up with your your past lady? How? How
far back? Just like twenty years? Twenty years? Oh, I can
let's say, uh, let's say let's chrono file. Let's say let's say
eight years, eight years here. My name is David Flora. I am
a chrono pedophile. In my timeline. They are all of age. This
is this is this is real pervy audience, And I apologize if you are
a officer to return to the future, if you're more civilized, and I've
brought something dark and horrible to the blurry photos. No, no, you're
you're bringing up the average. Thank you, But we need to counteract all
the heavy physics with some dirty Howard Stern esque shock jocks. I don't think
I would, and here's why, because I don't want to. Well,
yes, chivalry, that's the answer. I don't. I don't want to
force force something upon her that uh would eventually grow and probably be stronger on
its own. Are you talking about a baby kind of like kicking at her
door and and saying, Papa's home. Okay, let's assume it's completely good
sexual. Let's assume let's oh, let's assume that all sexes jesus, here's
what I'm thinking of. Though, I have to. I have to woo
her, so I have to go go in there and be like, hey,
George, of your iPhone? This one. Yeah, but but here's
here's the beauty of your relationship wooing is how's it going? Is that is
that now it starts? Is that is that she was the hunter and you
were the prey, right, clever ago? Yeah, so she tracked you
down into a Jurassic Park video game. I might ask, well, this
is all true? And then we shot raptors and she didn't make a move
on me, and I had no idea what was going on. So there
you go. It's a delicious manner from ours moment. Yeah, he's like's
not on me? No, it's not. Oh so okay, okay,
here we go. We we Marty McFly this back. And while you're being
unsuccessful, well, while pass floor is being unsuccessful. In Jurassic Park the
game Future, Flora morphs in from the side wall and goes, hey,
little brother, take five here, play with his iPhone. Oh great,
an iPhone. Yeah, in the future, you're gonna be on a cool
podcast. Listen to yourself in the future. Great, awesome. And then
you roll in and you're like, oh, hello there, and she's like,
forget the raptors. Oh my god. You see. That's that's the
thing about this, And I mean, so just this is like the five
minute nutshell of this. What I consider one of the most beautiful parts of
Dave and Annie's relationship is that she she thought he was pretty great, and
so they were all at like Dave and Busters, which is where all lovers
go, and um, it was a friends party. We wouldn't be caught
dead there ortherwise. So they have like the sit down booth version of like
the Jurassic Park Shoot the Dinosaurs game. And she's like, oh, let's
go play that. And she's like, we're gonna be in a booth kind
of thing. You know, maybe we get some makeup, so it's like
an enclosed space. Yeah, okay, you go in behind the curtains and
she and she's she's sweet, sweet on me, and I have no clue,
which is the way it always works. She's sweet and you're a tofu.
Ye. Yes. So they sit down in the booth and and Annie's
like, oh, maybe we're going in and floors like wrapped her six o'clock,
you know, like you got to decide to reload. Yeah. So
they're they're playing the game and and and he's like, oh my god,
he's really not gonna kiss me. But my point is this, and clearly
it's worked out in the end, but my point is this, like what
kind of weird ass pervert. It's like, well, we're in this video
game booth. I guess it's time for me to lean over and get this
done. Yeah. No, that was an unrealistic expectation on Andy's part.
Yea, many movies. Yeah, but you know what kind of pervert would
do that future Flora Oh my gosh, yeah, chronos file would be so
far all over the fat from the Chrono time crotch. Well, I'm glad
that we went down this particularly dark and habbit hole. Hey, I like
it. What were your three membranes? What you must pairs the anus and
the belly button button itself? I was gonna ask on that note, would
you would you try to tell yourself or convince yourself to or not to date
a person that you you eventually that you have dated in your past. Yeah,
yeah, totally. Like I would totally fuck up like poor little blank
Mark's life. Like I would go back to like Mark graduating college and be
like, hey, dude, here's what you need to do. Be with
this person, never meet this person and make this decision differently I would,
And then I assume I would like in uttering the words, I would vanish,
yeah right, and like the new future would be born. Yeah,
I've been mistakes, I got, I got some skeletons in that closet.
Son. There's a reason I'm a podcaster doing an Italian Renaissance character. That's
not a marketable podcast. You guys, don't tell that to the to the
PARSEC Awards, because you're a winner and a second year nominee. Thank you
in your finalist Let's get it right, That's what I meant, thank you.
Parsic Awards. Yes, the Parsic Awards. It's an award for speculative
fiction which is handed out at dragon Con every year, and I am a
blaster podcast joins the pantheon of great podcasts such as Our First City and Blurry
Photos in being a finalist this year, I would tell your listeners to vote
for it, but they can't. Y way. It's the one thing that
there's there's not an actual like vote for. It's it's a panel of judges
who are are probably paid off, panel of very handsome judges. You can
nominate, can't hurt. You can't nominate a podcast in the early stages,
but you can't actually determine whether it wins or not. There aren't a lot
of awards for podcasts. He's just built a paper lantern and hope it takes
light. I saw my first you guys, I saw my first paper lantern
ever flying through the skyline of Chicago and Logan Square last weekend, and I'd
never seen a fly through yourself. I was. I was like upset.
I thought it was a meteor and my friends are like, no, it's
a paper lantern it And I was like, I don't know what that is.
How is that possible? Lying to me? Yeah, tell me what
I want to hear. I snapped so many necks before I was convinced of
it. Okay, let's get back to chrono sex. So we're talking about
would you go back and warn yourself about past relationships? Would you stop nine
to eleven? Oh? Now, dude, Wow, whole different scenario.
You know what, I don't talking about old girlfriends. Gosh, you know
what I don't. I don't think I would. I don't think I've ever
been and and maybe I'm just extraordinarily fortunate here. Like I was thirty years
old before I understood that people could be bad at kissing. I got serious.
Yeah I didn't know that, And then I was like, holy shit,
it's just a humble brag. No I didn't. I guess I was
just extraordinarily lucky. Were you just you always dating lovables? Yes? I
was just hanging nor I just learned that LoVa bulls are the cheerleaders for the
Chicago Bulls. I'm not a sports I did not know that until I was
thirty. Then I was like, holy, this can really go bad.
Yeah, bad kissers are the worst. How is such a thing possible?
I think the thing is you don't want to be rude and like train someone
how to kiss properly. I sound like the most condiction, Like what do
I know? I don't know, but you know, I thought, you
know what though, Like here's that's the thing though, Like everybody likes kissing
done differently, so like there's well you can be like that person's a bad
kisser, someone else will be like best kiss or ever. Yeah, there's
just no, there's no there's no like spectrum for it. It's real soft
and dry and quick. That's what I like. Barely there. I like
a lot of head motions, so it's like there's a real thread of the
head. But if you're not careful, No, I don't. I don't.
I don't think I regret a single one of my relationships. If anything,
the pendulum goes the other way, like there's a lot of opportunities that
I should have taken that I didn't like. All the times those girls proposed
to you and you're like, I'm just not ready all those times. That's
a hard time. Those are hard, but you know what, you made
your choice. Yeah. No, I didn't even have sex till I was
twenty five. I was super churchy, super churchy. I was like,
Noah, virgins just made me gag. Sorry, Yeah, it was a
I mean, I don't regret waiting per se, but it could have had
a lot more sex you could have. But you know, when you're young,
sex can be dangerous, right, and maybe that maybe that's why I
don't regret any of my relationships now. Yeah, like I would not have
gone back in time and talked younger Dave out of any any of the ladies
that I dated. Okay, let's biff tannen this a little bit to get
out of this deliciously fucking mire of sex, Will you guys go back in
time and tell yourself companies to invest in or a lottery numbers, like,
hey, Apple is going to blow up with this iPod. I know Flores
and it's too fucking where it's bitcoin. Oh yeah, this guy's Flora's guy
like, man about there's something about bitcoin stuck in this christ teeth makes them
so bad. Oh no, did you support bitcoin? I didn't. That's
what pisses me. All. No, No, that's good, right,
isn't bitcoin bs? That's what I thought. But apparently you could be a
multi millionaire. Now, I don't know. We did the math virtual multi
millionaire. We did the math seeing the suspicions. It turns out that twenty
dollars in October of two thousand and nine would have turned into twelve million dollars
today. What yeah, twelve million bitcoins? Right, twelve million dollars in
bitcoins? How do you cash out? Right? Yeah, that's just it.
That's what we were talking about that. We're like, well, was
there twenty dollars worth of bitcoins? Could you because which it came out to
like twenty thousand bitcoins or some crazy number twelve thousand bitcoins. I don't think
that there was that many that you could just scoop up. I don't think
it. I don't think that math. I don't think that the reality math,
which is just the straight and math on that. Yeah. I think.
Now I'm speaking like obviously I know nothing about any of this stuff,
but like our dollar is based on the idea that there is precious metal behind
it anymore. We all know that there isn't. Right, everybody is aware
of this, in fact that we know that the country is in huge amounts
of debt. But that's like the idea behind it, like there's something you
could theoretically cash out this bank note and get something for it. Bitcoin is
on the surface up front, like, hey, there's nothing behind this.
Yeah, this is just you know, Internet value is made up entirely out
of the wishes of unicorns, right, yeah, So, I mean it's
basically the exact same thing, but without that initial first step of like,
once upon a time there was gold behind this. Yeah, I don't see
how it can hold water. I don't either, So don't invest in that.
Invest in Apple or Microsoft in the eighties googles. I'm certain that it
was always worth a bazillion dollars. But do you do you know how much
one share of Berkshire Hathaway is worth? I don't know what Berkshire Hathaway is.
Is that Anne Hathaway's mother? Yes, yes, that is worth a
lot. Yeah, do you know what one share of Anne Hathaway's Mother's worth?
One share is worth a hundred thousand dollars. What is Berkshire Hathaway.
It's in a valuable stock. I think they have some I know that they
have a real estate wing. But I'm sure it's bigger than that. You're
saying a lot of words. That's all I know. That is a it's
a company. It's yes, it's a company. I guess I didn't know
that. Yeah, and they they're they're stocks worth. I don't know if
that just blew up or if it's some one of those things that, like
since nineteen thirty two has been worth all the money in the world. Illuminati
Illuminati sounds illuminati. It is, guys, we're getting off time travel.
I would not advice. I would give to myself work out more while your
metabolisms doing better, because it's just more work later. If you don't,
and I would, I think that I would would be more reckless, Oh
far more reckless. Well you say that now, with the ability to move
all your limbs and speak properly, if you would have gotten to that dirt
bike act and it doesn't have aids and it's such a tough guy, no,
I would be I would take I would take more risks. I mean,
I just I was I'm I'm I'm not a Royalis breaker. I'm a
safe I'm a safe guy. What is the safe guy over here? We
need a safe guy. We need a Jimmy man, We need a driver.
The safe guy goes. Guys, Seriously, if you just had some
elbow pads, you never know you're gonna you're gonna clip a door. It's
gonna hurt. You should stretch all right? Now, Look, you guys,
we've talked a lot about sucking our former selves. We've talked a lot
about covering money on bitcoins and Anne Hathaway's mother. One thing we haven't mentioned
at all, which should reveal the inner darkness of ourselves, is that we
haven't talked about helping anyone or anything. I jokingly said, would you prevent
nine eleven? But there's a lot of like major disasters that you could maybe
like, you know, hey, hey New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina is coming
in a week. I know very few of you will listen to me,
But you know what about that quantum leap stuff? Would you go back and
try to help? I think everyone's thought of that, Like if somehow you
knew take the example of nine to eleven, how on earth would Dave Stecco
out, Yeah, the benefits plan administrator for a large insurance company in Denver,
Colorado, go about warning the government the morning of nine to eleven,
in making it stick and not ending up somehow in jail as a result,
you totally get jailed, right. I think maybe the only solution like that
people at our low level of influence could have is to try to do something
to the building itself the day of nine to eleven to prevent people from getting
in there, like calling it a bomb threat in the morning before the planes
actually hit, so that people like hear about it and don't go to work
or call the cops that day. You know, Yeah, I don't.
I don't. I mean, like, and even on a smaller scale,
like I don't know what I would do to help anything, because I mean,
I I mean, it's all well and good to say, well,
you know, the timeline has to be preserved. You don't know what's going
on. But now that was just shitty. That was just shitty. Nothing
good came from that. We would be better off if that had never happened.
I don't. You know. It's like like, would you kill Hitler,
Yes, yes, I would kill Hitler. Wait, you kill real
Hitler. Yes, but if you killed real Hitler, and I'm not talking
about robot Hitler, that's just gonna say, who's the other Hitler you're if
you if you killed that Hitler, like World War two, Holocaust, totally
awful. But people who you know today would not exist if not for those
events, you know, people who you might not even exist. I probably
wouldn't because my ancestors would not have been kicked out. They would not have
fled you up and got kicked out, um of a Bennigans. That's the
beauty of my time travel theory. You can kill Hitler and see how it
works out because parallel universe, I mean I better still, you can go
to the parallel you can cut out the middleman and go to the parallel universe.
Parallel university. Well, you can go to the parallel universe where sixty
years prior parallel you from another universe. When you kill Hitler just now,
it turns out you can really cover a lot of bases with it. I
mean, that's that's ultimately the thing though, right that with the Grandfather paradox.
If you go back and do blank, you either yeah, you either,
that's all vanish, Right, You either vanish because you kind of slowly
dissolved, but you do if you guitar solos before you by your guitar player
gets real it's real bad and your your brother and sister go first, so
that no, we've done it. Um, So you would either vanish.
You would you would completely be a race from existence theoretically. I mean it
provided that the events that you know you messed with led to you know or
you current you keeps living. But the the you that would be born isn't
born. Does that make sense? So like, that's that's obviously the question.
Well, how would you exist in the first place? To Well,
you are on your own timeline going forward still, right, so you your
past did happen, but then when you went back to the past, it
would have to be some sort of it would it would spawn a new timeline,
right, Like you're a first draft and then the second draft happens visioned
and the first draft still exists, yeah, but everything else has already moved
on to the second draft, right, right? Is it that the kind
of the I've never heard of that in a fictional scenario, it's all we've
got to go on, right, But you know, it's an interesting notion
to entertain, which I prefer that because then you still have some autonomy.
You can change things and still enjoy reap the benefits of the the change that
you've write exactly. There's a chance though, that you would either have to
stay in the past and just live, or you would jump back to your
current timeline in which you are then like John Doe, right, you would
have to reassimilate into society somehow. Yeah. Yeah, that's that's that's that's
time travel. That's what I think time travel in a nutshell. Yeah,
I think I would just I would just solve problems, but like the pettiest
ones of like, hey, seriously, don't eat at that restaurant when I
get it's like really expensive and you're not gonna like it, and I take
it back. I do know what I would fix in my own timeline the
amount of time and faking money spent forcraft No close, very close Internet dating.
Not on the internet dating itself, but on the dates. Dates are
faking expensive. They are just brutally expensive, and of dates are brutally expective.
Everything the expensive. Yo. Yeah, we live in Chicago, brother,
I know, I know, there's there's no there's no way out.
Yeah, steak here is like five bucks. Um, so yeah, I
know that. I think maybe i'd be like, you know what, you
could probably just skip that part, save the money, buy something else.
That's a really like dark and cynical thing. No. I mean, I've
been on some internet dates, yeah, which I regret, but they were
experienced. You know you're a different person now because of them. Ah yeah,
but I'd really rather have the money, save the horse, ride a
cowboy, which I would go back that. I cannot tell you when I
was when I was in Iowa that song country Girls shake It for Me and
uh, welcome to Hotel California, to bring it, to bring it full
circle. I heard a lot of turn down for what those were the three
top songs I heard, and you were aware in Iowa? Who sings that
second one? I don't know. Contrary girl shake it for me? It's
pretty pretty sexy. What's the one song we can't get away from? Jerkee
people? Gong Gong Jerky? Yeah time snap. So guys, yes,
there's something I forgot about. I was going to ask you off Mike,
but I'm gonna ask you on my O. I want to do go back.
I want to do a penalty box. I want to have that experience.
Oh you do, yes, well we could, we could make that
happen. I think it's fascinating. I've been fascinated with it since the moment
I first heard it, and I want to give it a try. I
think we can arrange. I want to fight the box John Henry style.
All right, I'll tell you what, John Henry. You you got your
work cut off? Are you fight round one? Fight box? All right,
you're gonna get kicked in the acousta ding ding here, kicked in the
yakuza, Yeah, kicked in the Accusa, kicked in the Japanese game.
Right, they cut off my pakies. What were you saying? Okay,
all right, I'm gonna I'm gonna trick you out turbo for a penalty box.
Now, Florida drum drum up some charges against this son of a bit,
some chargers. How I think you're you're smart, smarter guy than you
give yourself credit for us. So self esteem snaps, so so off you
go in the be nicer to yourself. So this is like the therapy I've
never had. Okay uh In text messages no, we am going to well,
you know what I noticed you have Watchmen, and in Watchmen, fucking
the ink blot face has a lot of great monologues. Oh well, then
here you go. Do you know them very well? No, hold on,
I'm going to test the penalty box to see it's functioning. I am
the very model of a modern major general. I've information vegetable as a mineral.
That's it. Yeah, okay, says that's working. Just just fine.
What's going on here? Okay? So um, you are currently in
the penalty box. You're in the penalty box. Our hand is on the
giant. I don't hear myself speaking back in the styled switch. Okay,
it's fine, Okay, mark Soloff hereby sentence to the penalty box. Your
sentence begins now. Rorschach's Journal, October twelfth, in nineteen eighty five,
Dog Carcass, Saint Alley. This morning, tire tread on burst stomach.
This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. This
streets sorry standed gutters, and the gutters are full of blood. Where the
trains finally scab over all the vermin will drown the accumulated filth of all their
sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the horrors, and
the politicians will look up and shout save us, and I'll look down and
a whisper. No, there you go. That's that's that's what you well.
Yeah, really, well that's what tough justice feels like. What a
ride? Yeah there, yeah, part of and you'll post part of part
of the penalty box. Um. If it doesn't get your if it doesn't
get you stuttering, you definitely like want to yale things for some reason.
And we do it all like I'm horrible about it. Oh, I am
so susceptible to this thing. And I think it's just like that I key
so much on the sound of my own luxurious voice. Yeah, it's like
you're someone else is talking and you're like, I need to talk over this
person to be heard, and it's yourself that's talking. Yeah, oh what
a treat. I tested it on some coworkers that were girls. Zero effect.
Really, they did not give me that it was happening. That really
made me crazy. Now, this is interesting. The question is is it
they are conditioned in some way? It was there, It was there.
It was the hysteria that their uterus is created. This is a science,
are they Yeah, it's like maybe they're more used to speaking in environments where
other people are also talking. Yeah, I'm just used to everyone lists hanging
on my every word, especially you mostly me, my shpunk have Well,
I'll tell you what. Yeah, you feel like you feel like we stoned

its magical properties. Yeah, I think we we've done it some we give
it a milk job later. We've done some good uh discussing and theorizing and
yeah, and haun on on the old time travel. Time travel is great

it. So six more hours, so you know, part seven, Here
