SPEAKER_04: He oh there's some plot twist to that one.
2:21
SPEAKER_03: Oh good.
2:22
SPEAKER_04: And there there was a both of these last two are Darren related.
2:26
SPEAKER_03: Oh my they're related to me, like my ancestors or something.
2:29
SPEAKER_04: Probably.
2:30
SPEAKER_04: Especially the last one.
2:31
SPEAKER_04: A Kentucky man with a meat allergy created an ostrich farm.
2:37
SPEAKER_04: So he could eat meat again.
2:39
SPEAKER_03: Oh, he got bit by the meat-eating weevils.
2:43
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, the tick thing.
2:44
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, the government weevil.
2:46
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
2:46
SPEAKER_04: And then uh 25,000-year-old evidence of beetle drug use.
2:51
SPEAKER_04: People eating beetles.
2:52
SPEAKER_04: That makes sense.
2:53
SPEAKER_04: I don't know how that's related to beetles.
2:55
SPEAKER_01: Everybody believes the beetles.
2:57
SPEAKER_04: He's the kana expert.
2:59
SPEAKER_04: See, Darren's dialed everything down now.
3:01
SPEAKER_04: So now it's just down to people.
3:03
SPEAKER_01: It's another British invasion on the Beatles.

6:07
SPEAKER_04: I I agree.
6:08
SPEAKER_04: I agree.
6:10
SPEAKER_04: But to get into the very serious stories that we're gonna talk about today.
6:14
SPEAKER_01: Yes, they're very, very serious.
6:16
SPEAKER_04: Very serious.
6:16
SPEAKER_04: Cyborg Rescue Roach brings life-saving shots and disasters.
6:22
SPEAKER_03: How does it even know?
6:24
SPEAKER_01: Well, what's using its uh roach suit antennas?
6:31
SPEAKER_03: It's supposed to jab somebody, but it does like how does it even know who to jab?
6:35
SPEAKER_02: Well, here that's well, that's the scary part.
6:37
SPEAKER_02: Is this part of the Marvel comic universe?
6:39
SPEAKER_02: It might be.
6:40
SPEAKER_04: It's getting into Marvel territory.
6:42
SPEAKER_04: That's right.
6:43
SPEAKER_04: This is like Ninja Turtles, but with roaches.
6:46
SPEAKER_04: Imagine you're trapped under rubble after an earthquake and you see an electronics-covered cockroach with spring-loaded needle on its back scuttling toward you.
6:56
SPEAKER_04: So that sounds very uh pleasant.
6:58
unknown: Nice.
6:59
SPEAKER_04: That's a that's a nice image.
7:01
SPEAKER_04: Although the sight might be unnerving to say the least, the prototype paramedic cyborg, aka paraborg, yeah, might one day help deliver life-saving aid to disaster victims.
7:14
SPEAKER_03: It's remote control.
7:14
SPEAKER_03: They've hacked into its brain and they're steering it like it's a drone.
7:18
SPEAKER_03: It's like the drone pigeons.
7:19
SPEAKER_03: That's exactly giant.
7:20
SPEAKER_03: Just how giant does their own.
7:22
SPEAKER_04: I think they're normal sized.
7:23
SPEAKER_04: They didn't show up.
7:24
SPEAKER_03: Normal size for what?
7:25
SPEAKER_03: Like Pacific cockroaches huge.
7:27
SPEAKER_04: Well, like a palmetto bug, maybe it's that big.
7:30
SPEAKER_04: It's not like a German cockroach.
7:32
SPEAKER_03: Well, they can get into all sorts of spaces because they just kind of squeeze.
7:35
SPEAKER_04: Well, they have transistors now that are like transistors.
7:38
SPEAKER_04: You might even see with the bare eye.
7:39
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
7:40
SPEAKER_04: Wow.
7:40
SPEAKER_03: So well, that's no, I I I like this.
7:43
SPEAKER_03: I think it makes sense.
7:44
SPEAKER_04: What would you do if you had a palmetto bug with a fucking suit on with a needle on his back?
7:51
SPEAKER_03: It depends.
7:52
SPEAKER_03: I mean, if you're in a psych ward, it's a real trauma.
7:55
SPEAKER_03: If you're going to die, if you're going to die, you're like, okay, I've got no other choice here.
7:59
SPEAKER_03: I'm smashed in a building.
8:00
SPEAKER_01: I know exactly what to do.
8:02
SPEAKER_01: Well, you call, you call up the uh homeowner and say you want a free night stay.
8:08
SPEAKER_04: Oh that's giving me fucking uh I'm having some PTSD on that one.
8:14
SPEAKER_04: There you go.
8:15
SPEAKER_03: It's gonna be a lot of refunds when they see the needle arm.
8:21
SPEAKER_01: I'd rather have the rat coming with at me with it.
8:27
SPEAKER_01: I I don't know.
8:28
SPEAKER_01: It winks at you as you gives you the needle.
8:32
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
8:32
SPEAKER_04: The whole thing is kind of scary, but it makes sense.
8:35
SPEAKER_04: Well, what they they described in rubble.
8:37
SPEAKER_04: Is that not like the total the apocalypse happened?
8:40
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you're in rubble.
8:41
SPEAKER_04: Like think of skeletroaches with needles, right?
8:43
SPEAKER_03: You're in Nepal, they've flooded the dams because they're trying to build a roadway, then you're in the way.
8:48
SPEAKER_03: And the building collapses, then they send in the robotic roaches to you know inject you with uh a life-ending serum.
8:57
SPEAKER_01: Oh, life-ending.
9:02
SPEAKER_02: You're a survivor, you gotta go.
9:03
SPEAKER_02: We gotta go, we gotta make room.
9:05
SPEAKER_02: Just give me some more things, right?
9:07
SPEAKER_04: They do have some images for everyone.
9:10
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, of course.
9:11
SPEAKER_04: There we go.
9:11
SPEAKER_04: That's it.
9:12
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's like a Lego sized.
9:14
SPEAKER_04: Oh, that's a big look at that sucker.
9:20
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's like I'm surprised they're not doing the mosquitoes.
9:23
SPEAKER_03: The mosquitoes already have the injector, they're small, they can be probably don't have enough uh body to have G.
9:31
SPEAKER_03: Oh, they gotta have more juice than the mosquito can hold.
9:34
SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah, but they could mosquitoes can pass West Nile and everything else, so I'm sure they could uh do some destruction.
9:41
SPEAKER_04: It says for decades scientists have sought to develop cyborg insects as a shortcut around some of the hardest problems in robotics, says T thang vo Dwan.
9:52
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, he knows.
9:53
SPEAKER_03: Oh, you said that as a cousin.
9:56
SPEAKER_04: It's like a reminder.
9:58
SPEAKER_04: This is the University of Queensland.
9:59
SPEAKER_04: This is from your I've been to Queensland.
10:01
SPEAKER_04: Of course, Australia would be the ones developing this.
10:06
SPEAKER_04: Well, it says building an insect-sized robot that can move reliably through rubble, climb through irregular surfaces, recover from falls, carry on its own power, and still have room for useful sensors is extraordinarily difficult, said Vodwan.
10:20
SPEAKER_04: Oh.
10:20
SPEAKER_04: An insect already comes with much of that mobility built in, so instead of trying to create artificial uh versions of each part of the insect's body, they're just creating an electronic interface onto the insect.
10:33
SPEAKER_04: Exactly.
10:34
SPEAKER_04: See, this is the Russian pigeons all over.
10:40
SPEAKER_03: How do they teach the cockroach where to go?
10:43
SPEAKER_04: Ah, that's where the brain sensors come in.
10:45
SPEAKER_03: They don't because they've jacked into its brain, they're guiding it just like flying drones.
10:50
SPEAKER_01: Well, they have like a little camera so they know where it's going.
10:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's another one.
10:55
SPEAKER_04: You remember the Russian pigeons?
10:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like how they're gonna be able to do it.
10:57
SPEAKER_04: They logged into their brain and then they strapped a camera to their chest.
11:00
SPEAKER_04: To the chest, yeah.
11:01
SPEAKER_03: And they just got a little micro camera.
11:04
SPEAKER_03: Pigeons are a lot more difficult than a bug.
11:08
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but they're larger.
11:09
SPEAKER_03: I mean, a lot more difficult.
11:11
SPEAKER_04: Well, you blow dart them, you put the neural link.
11:13
SPEAKER_04: No, they're eat they're equal.
11:14
SPEAKER_03: So they're basically semi-domesticated.
11:18
SPEAKER_03: They're they weave domesticated pigeons.
11:20
SPEAKER_03: So those pigeons you see out there come from domesticated flocks.
11:24
SPEAKER_03: They will approach you.
11:25
SPEAKER_03: They trust you.
11:26
SPEAKER_03: It's not the capturing them, it's actually the controlling them.
11:29
SPEAKER_03: Like getting into their brain.
11:31
SPEAKER_03: Their brain's way more complex than a bug.
11:33
SPEAKER_04: Well, you could probably just throw them off balance if they they go towards anyone and make them fly back up and video them.
11:39
SPEAKER_03: Man, I don't know how they do it.
11:40
SPEAKER_04: That is a different angle to the flock thing.
11:44
SPEAKER_04: Well, they're not if Ori County just started uh flocking the pigeons.
11:49
SPEAKER_03: We don't even have very many pigeons here.
11:51
SPEAKER_03: Well, we have the Canadian geese.
11:54
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we got a lot of flock.
11:58
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but we don't have a lot of robo seagulls.
12:00
SPEAKER_03: It's really weird.
12:00
SPEAKER_03: We don't have too many pigeons.
12:02
SPEAKER_03: But this reminds me of the fly brain model that they did.
12:06
SPEAKER_03: Right?
12:06
SPEAKER_03: So they modeled the neurons of a fruit fly.
12:10
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
12:10
SPEAKER_03: And so they've got it in a virtual space.
12:12
SPEAKER_03: So they've got this fruit fly brain, it's empty, essentially, and then they can induce these things.
12:18
SPEAKER_03: And they had it playing beat saber.
12:20
SPEAKER_03: That was exactly how they had a virtual fly who was using its little hands to play beat saber in a three-dimensional space.
12:32
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
12:33
SPEAKER_03: And it they taught it how to do this, and then it sort of started doing this behavior.
12:37
SPEAKER_04: Is this scary yet?
12:40
SPEAKER_04: See, this when they get into government contracts, that's when it gets a little frightening.
12:44
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
12:44
SPEAKER_04: Wasn't there a Black Mirror episode about this where they had insects assassinating people?
12:49
SPEAKER_04: Oh, oh yeah.
12:50
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
12:51
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, this is getting uh.
12:52
SPEAKER_03: Did that cockroach get assassinate somebody?
12:54
SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
12:55
SPEAKER_04: If they didn't inject you, they're I mean, he just had the battery pack, but if they if they showed one with the needle, some of these are pretty big.
13:02
SPEAKER_04: That is almost the size of like a rat.
13:04
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but you don't even need to.
13:06
SPEAKER_03: Okay, so let's say you had the small one, like a normal, normal size one, like Palmetto or Pacific cockroach, spending the night at the hotel and they want you dead, and that thing just shows up.
13:16
SPEAKER_03: You didn't even know.
13:17
SPEAKER_03: It just jabs you in the neck.
13:18
SPEAKER_04: Well, they said Trump only eats McDonald's because he's scared of food poisoning, and he does so.
13:23
SPEAKER_04: Oh, that makes sense.
13:23
SPEAKER_04: That makes sense.
13:24
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's already pre-poisoned.
13:26
SPEAKER_04: It's already slow poisoned.
13:28
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that that that makes that makes a lot of sense.
13:31
SPEAKER_04: It does say previously scientists have shown they could steer cyber insects such as beetles and mobs.
13:38
SPEAKER_04: Uh the prior work largely focused on controlling their movements to serve a passive sensor platform, but now they have gone to giant cockroaches.
13:47
SPEAKER_04: So I just thought that that was an interesting just to start the show off.
13:51
SPEAKER_04: That's right.
13:52
SPEAKER_04: That's right.
13:53
SPEAKER_04: This was also another hard week.
13:54
SPEAKER_04: I think it might be uh fall that just the crazy stories are calming down.
13:58
SPEAKER_04: Summer has the peak amount, but I had this.
14:01
SPEAKER_01: Well, they they can't compete with the elections coming up, so yeah.
14:05
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, speaking of cockroaches.
14:07
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, speaking of cockroaches.
14:09
SPEAKER_03: I'm waiting for that five thousand dollar check.
14:12
SPEAKER_04: Oh, we'll see.
14:13
SPEAKER_04: Well, wasn't there a rebate too?
14:15
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, they this is he's thinking outside of the box.
14:18
SPEAKER_04: He he's doing whatever he can at this line.
14:21
SPEAKER_04: That is like low-scale UBI.
14:23
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it is.
14:25
SPEAKER_04: It's uh just enough to attempt to get votes, I guess.
14:28
SPEAKER_04: But transitioning to New Hampshire, as we love to do.
14:34
SPEAKER_04: New Hampshire man accused of stealing firetruck as the crew battles a fire at his home.
14:40
SPEAKER_04: At his home?
14:41
SPEAKER_04: Yes.
14:42
SPEAKER_04: Of course.
14:43
SPEAKER_03: This is why the Florida man, New Hampshire man is.
14:45
SPEAKER_03: He's helping.
14:49
SPEAKER_01: I don't think.
14:50
SPEAKER_03: His house is on fire and he steals the fire truck while they're trying to put out the fire.
14:55
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, well, they're holding the the uh pose, yeah.
14:58
SPEAKER_04: New Hampshire, they do call New Hampshire the South of the North.
15:01
SPEAKER_04: So who does?
15:04
SPEAKER_04: Who does?
15:05
SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
15:05
SPEAKER_04: People who don't like Jeremy Coffin.
15:08
SPEAKER_04: Same people who talk about New Hampshire man.
15:11
SPEAKER_04: It says a New Hampshire man is facing multiple charges after police say he stole a fire truck while crews were trying to put out a fire at his house.
15:19
SPEAKER_04: Firefighter responded just before sunrise Tuesday morning in Dalton, New Hampshire.
15:26
SPEAKER_04: While crews were at the scene, police say 30-year-old Nestor Roman drove away in a stolen fire truck.
15:33
SPEAKER_05: Oh, so he leaves.
15:34
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
15:35
SPEAKER_04: Oh, he left while they're trying to put his house out.
15:37
SPEAKER_04: It's an insurance scam.
15:38
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, when they say here, get out of the house.
15:40
SPEAKER_04: No, I want to get away from the jump in the fire truck after the money.
15:43
SPEAKER_04: Investigators say Roman hit another fire truck that was being used to fight the fire, drove over the hoses, and narrowly missed three firefighters before hitting a wooden fence with the fire truck.
15:56
SPEAKER_04: Oh.
15:57
SPEAKER_04: So this there may be drugs involved in the police or cockroaches.
16:03
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, poison cockroach.
16:04
SPEAKER_04: Police say another homeowner later called to report that a fire truck had crashed onto their lawn and the suspect was trying to get into their home.
16:12
SPEAKER_04: Of course.
16:13
SPEAKER_04: Well, his was on fire.
16:16
SPEAKER_04: Makes sense.
16:17
SPEAKER_04: This is a different type of fight or flight response.
16:20
SPEAKER_04: Uh dispatch got a call.
16:21
SPEAKER_04: He stopped at a residence on Faraway Road a couple of miles down the road.
16:26
SPEAKER_04: Troopers were able to make contact with Mr.
16:28
SPEAKER_04: Roman.
16:29
SPEAKER_04: He was actually attempting to make entry into the back of the residence.
16:33
SPEAKER_04: Uh Roman was uh arrested after a struggle and faces several charges, including reckless endangerment with a dangerous weapon and burglary.
16:42
SPEAKER_03: Is there a why to any of this?
16:45
SPEAKER_03: No.
16:46
SPEAKER_03: How did you just that's the whole thing?
16:48
SPEAKER_03: Is this like he is just randomly done all this?
16:51
SPEAKER_01: The other missing element to this is what caused the fire in his home.
16:57
SPEAKER_03: A hormonal imbalance?
16:58
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, some questions.
16:59
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
17:01
SPEAKER_01: I think that would tie everything together.
17:03
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, can you imagine showing up and he the guy turns it into like Mario Kart?
17:08
SPEAKER_04: He just, while you're holding the hose, he just takes the fire truck and just I'm out, I'm out, I'm leaving.
17:15
SPEAKER_03: I I just thought that.
17:16
SPEAKER_03: So wait, there's nothing more in this uh news report.
17:21
SPEAKER_03: Oh, he's a waiting trial, he's presumed innocent.
17:24
SPEAKER_04: Like what what who does this?
17:27
SPEAKER_04: They came to stop one disaster and uh he created another you know I wonder what the neighbors are saying.
17:36
SPEAKER_03: Well, he's always a nice guy.
17:38
SPEAKER_04: I'm sure this is uh this is Jerry Springer territory.
17:43
SPEAKER_04: This might involve some of those uh Zoom drugs.
17:47
SPEAKER_04: Alien voice.
17:48
SPEAKER_04: Is it the Zoom lady from New Hampshire?
17:51
SPEAKER_04: No, I don't think so.
17:52
SPEAKER_04: Uh maybe.
17:54
SPEAKER_03: I think it sounds like she's from the Republic.
17:55
SPEAKER_01: No, no, she's from California.
17:57
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, she's from the Republic.
17:58
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
17:59
SPEAKER_04: I think her uh her parents were like from New Hampshire or something.
18:02
SPEAKER_04: They founded the LPH.
18:03
SPEAKER_01: Ah, okay.
18:05
SPEAKER_04: And she just voted to annihilate them, too.
18:07
SPEAKER_04: So we'll get it.
18:08
SPEAKER_01: Were you stalking her?
18:09
SPEAKER_04: I am changes good.
18:11
SPEAKER_01: Ovin's O'Brien.
18:12
SPEAKER_01: I have nothing to do with uh Randy O's.
18:15
SPEAKER_01: This is Randy's anger at Ovin's.
18:20
SPEAKER_04: But we appreciate the Zoom products.
18:23
SPEAKER_03: And shaking things up is always good.
18:25
SPEAKER_03: The confusion associated with that is great.
18:27
SPEAKER_04: It's a very New Hampshire point of view.
18:29
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
18:29
SPEAKER_04: I mean that's what they seem to like to do.
18:31
SPEAKER_03: I'm voting to shake things up.
18:33
SPEAKER_04: Well, this guy really shook things up, so you know.
18:37
SPEAKER_04: Uh I'm sorry.
18:38
SPEAKER_04: You said they charged him with what?
18:39
SPEAKER_04: Something with a dangerous weapon?
18:42
SPEAKER_04: They charged him with reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon.
18:46
SPEAKER_04: What is a dangerous weapon?
18:48
SPEAKER_04: It might be a fire rescue.
18:49
SPEAKER_04: Fire truck and down weapon now.
18:52
SPEAKER_04: That's right.
18:53
SPEAKER_04: I think that's right.
18:54
SPEAKER_04: That might be a deadly weapon.
18:55
SPEAKER_03: How did he even know how to drive the damn thing?
18:57
SPEAKER_04: He well, apparently he didn't.
19:00
SPEAKER_04: He ran into another fire truck and went to someone's house.
19:04
SPEAKER_04: I think there's some training to do that.
19:06
SPEAKER_04: That's like being a pilot.
19:08
SPEAKER_04: There's a little training involved before you you need to plan these out.
19:13
SPEAKER_04: But yeah, I I just thought that was uh uh a nice little that that stood out among all the stories I went through.
19:19
SPEAKER_04: It took over an hour to get four stories today.
19:22
SPEAKER_01: I I I have a feeling that this guy is probably the chairman of the uh of the group that's trying to take over for um the the real uh New Hampshire LP.
19:32
SPEAKER_01: This this new this new leftist group that's trying to get in there.
19:37
SPEAKER_01: Granite state.
19:38
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the Granite State goofballs or something like that.
19:41
SPEAKER_01: He's probably the chairman on it.
19:43
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, this sounds like a self-destructive move.
19:46
SPEAKER_01: Oh, there it yeah, is that his picture of him right there?
19:48
SPEAKER_04: Oh my god.
19:50
SPEAKER_01: Uh that that he looks like a Granite State guy.
19:53
SPEAKER_01: He looks like an antique guy.
19:55
SPEAKER_01: That's definitely, yeah.
19:56
SPEAKER_03: He's definitely been uh partaking in the depressants.
20:00
SPEAKER_03: There may be some uh holy cow, that guy really That's after all of the destruction and burglaries.
20:07
SPEAKER_03: Is he trying to escape?
20:08
SPEAKER_03: I wonder Escape reality.
20:11
SPEAKER_03: We don't even want that guy next door now that I think about it.
20:13
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, wow.
20:14
SPEAKER_01: Again, I think there's more of a story to how the fire started.
20:18
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he is the fire starter.
20:20
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, we may have a uh firebug.
20:24
SPEAKER_03: I wish we could post this somehow.
20:26
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'm sure it's like his space.
20:29
SPEAKER_03: Well, I know what we'll do.
20:29
SPEAKER_03: Can you send me that?
20:30
SPEAKER_03: I know I want to play with this.
20:31
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, if you want to look up this story, I want to play with this guy.
20:36
SPEAKER_03: That was a fun we haven't added the visual element of these stories.
20:40
SPEAKER_03: Doing a mock-up of him is gonna be a lot of fun.
20:43
SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
20:44
SPEAKER_04: Well, I guess uh I did it for the children.
20:47
SPEAKER_04: There we go.
20:47
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, here we go.
20:52
SPEAKER_04: I uh yeah, I guess there's nothing else to say on that one.
20:56
SPEAKER_04: That's just live free or die.
20:58
SPEAKER_04: Now it makes more sense.
21:01
SPEAKER_04: Uh moving on to another very libertarian state.
21:05
SPEAKER_04: A Kentucky man with a meat allergy was craving a burger.
21:11
SPEAKER_04: But after being bit by a tick, he got a specific mutation or something with the red meat allergy.
21:20
SPEAKER_04: So he created ostrich farming.
21:23
SPEAKER_03: This is why you can legally do this.
21:26
SPEAKER_04: You can legally farm ostriches?
21:28
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and eat them.
21:29
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
21:30
SPEAKER_04: Is that not suspicious when like a nine-foot bird just disappears and they're walking all over your farm?
21:34
SPEAKER_03: Look, a nine-foot bird the size of an ostrich that can move like that can be a threat.
21:39
SPEAKER_03: But you I think technically you can farm them and eat them.
21:43
SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
21:44
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
21:44
SPEAKER_03: That's I went to an ostrich farm in uh Aruba.
21:47
SPEAKER_04: Really?
21:47
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you can do that.
21:48
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but they do that in Aruba.
21:49
SPEAKER_04: They don't they they're not supposed to be doing that in the the property.
21:53
SPEAKER_03: I think in some states I think they can make some really good omelets with their eggs, too.
21:57
SPEAKER_03: I think in some states they can.
21:58
SPEAKER_03: I mean, I'm not recommending it, but you can.
22:00
SPEAKER_02: I just I uh But the more important part of this is the tick.
22:04
SPEAKER_02: So like the government is is designing these ticks to carry that like this is one of um what's his name?
22:10
SPEAKER_02: Uh uh Google guy, no uh Microsoft.
22:14
SPEAKER_02: Bill Gates.
22:14
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
22:16
SPEAKER_02: He wants he wants to spread these ticks all over the world.
22:19
SPEAKER_01: So he can sell his fake meat.
22:20
SPEAKER_02: Right, because he wants they want to get rid of meat and cow farts and all that with the climate change.
22:26
SPEAKER_02: They're trying to spread this disease that makes you allergic to beef.
22:30
SPEAKER_02: Right.
22:31
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
22:31
SPEAKER_02: Which it this is like makes you allergic to Dr.
22:34
SPEAKER_02: Evil type stuff.
22:35
SPEAKER_03: That is, but they're not outwardly saying this.
22:38
SPEAKER_03: This is a theory.
22:39
SPEAKER_03: This is a no, he hasn't come out and said we've made this tick in so many worlds.
22:45
SPEAKER_01: No, but I I I agree with Jeff.
22:47
SPEAKER_01: That that is definitely something that they've designed.
22:49
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but we don't have concrete proofs.
22:51
SPEAKER_01: Just to let Randy know, there are 232 ostrich farms in the U.S.
22:57
SPEAKER_04: These are things I didn't know.
22:58
SPEAKER_01: Are there in South Carolina?
22:59
SPEAKER_01: Are there I didn't see how many Lackey farms?
23:04
SPEAKER_01: 523 ostriches in those uh in each one?
23:09
SPEAKER_01: No uh total.
23:10
SPEAKER_01: Oh okay.
23:10
SPEAKER_01: Yeah um so yeah so um yeah so they've marketed of those about a thousand three hundred and thirty-two of those birds from the sixty-two farms that marketed.
23:22
SPEAKER_04: So what is that?
23:23
SPEAKER_04: About each farm is about ten ostriches?
23:25
SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
23:25
SPEAKER_01: Uh about ten to fifteen.
23:27
SPEAKER_04: Okay.
23:27
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I don't know how the I don't know the reproduction.
23:30
SPEAKER_04: Are ostriches aggressive?
23:32
SPEAKER_03: They can be very aggressive, yeah.
23:33
SPEAKER_04: Yeah that seems like a dangerous job.
23:35
SPEAKER_04: Well when you tie in the tick angle with the previous cockroach needle angle, this is a little disturbing.
23:42
SPEAKER_03: This tick thing, I mean, okay, yes, I I agree with you that it's likely man-made.
23:47
SPEAKER_03: I I agree.
23:48
SPEAKER_03: But we don't have this is we don't have concrete proof of this.
23:52
SPEAKER_04: See, allegedly materialist errors.
23:57
SPEAKER_03: Oh somebody's got to play the part.
24:03
SPEAKER_03: Well, think about this.
24:04
SPEAKER_03: But uh, you know.
24:06
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, I think they did create it.
24:08
SPEAKER_03: I think it's human-made, and I think that's you know, get you to stop eating it.
24:13
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I hadn't heard of this type of uh uh ailment or or allergy uh up until really recently last year.
24:21
SPEAKER_02: It is a real thing.
24:22
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
24:22
SPEAKER_02: I mean Google and the internet and whatnot saying, oh yeah, this the conspiracy theory about you know Bill Gates and all that and releasing these and blah blah blah, but it is a real like syndrome.
24:35
SPEAKER_02: Oh, it's a real syndrome for sure.
24:36
SPEAKER_02: But where did it come from?
24:37
SPEAKER_02: That's the funny part.
24:38
SPEAKER_02: Like what sort of ridiculous story are they?
24:41
SPEAKER_01: It's probably from Wuhan.
24:42
SPEAKER_02: They're saying uh they're saying the spread of of this uh the rising cases is driven by environmental factors such as warmer winters, changing climate, and the weather understanding.
24:57
SPEAKER_03: Of course, the weather made it happen.
24:59
SPEAKER_03: Yes, it's climate change.
25:01
SPEAKER_01: It's not more it's it's it's not eating bats and mutating uh the weather that did it.
25:07
SPEAKER_02: So it's self-correct because the climate change is causing more of the ticks, is causing more of the science the meat allergies, which will prevent us from having more cows, which will fix the climate change.
25:20
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
25:21
SPEAKER_02: Nature finds a way.
25:23
SPEAKER_04: That's that's the uh that's the official story.
25:27
SPEAKER_03: Really?
25:27
SPEAKER_03: Then if that's the case, nature would have killed us a while ago.
25:31
SPEAKER_03: Uh yeah.
25:33
SPEAKER_04: At least in the last two centuries, probably.
25:34
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we would have been, we wouldn't even be talking right now.
25:37
SPEAKER_03: It would have already gotten rid of us.
25:39
SPEAKER_04: If nature was that aggressive with the uh natural selection, yeah, we'd be dead, so would the monkey.
25:45
SPEAKER_03: See, we're connecting the dots.
25:47
SPEAKER_03: Oh god, how did we figure this out?
25:48
SPEAKER_04: People may not know, but Jeff is actually a mathematician with a mathematics degree, so he sees the patterns and he connects the dots.
25:56
SPEAKER_01: I thought he was the magician.
25:58
SPEAKER_01: You guys can pull me all the time.
26:00
SPEAKER_03: I thought he was the pinball magician.
26:04
SPEAKER_04: He's the pinball wizard, but the mathematics he's a math magician.
26:08
SPEAKER_04: Okay.
26:08
SPEAKER_04: He connects all the dots.
26:09
SPEAKER_04: See, this is why with the conspiracy podcast, we just bring in Jeff.
26:13
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
26:13
SPEAKER_04: Because he's going to connect the dots.
26:15
SPEAKER_03: Numerically, it all makes sense now.
26:16
SPEAKER_04: Okay.
26:17
SPEAKER_04: They do call it Alpha Gel Syndrome.
26:21
SPEAKER_04: It says when a friend approached Brent Williams four years ago with a business proposition, he was more than intrigued because he had a life-threatening allergy to red meat triggered by tick bites.
26:32
SPEAKER_04: The problem known as alpha gel syndrome was first linked to a particular species of ticks about 15 years ago.
26:40
SPEAKER_04: But cases are on the rise as more people report symptoms such as hives, diarrhea, itchiness after eating a little, as little as a mouthful of red meat.
26:50
SPEAKER_04: The allergy doesn't extend to seafood or poultry.
26:54
SPEAKER_04: So chicken, turkey, and eggs are okay to eat.
26:56
SPEAKER_04: So you're good there.
26:58
SPEAKER_01: It sounds like it's the same thing if you eat it Taco Bell.
27:00
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
27:01
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the diarrhea and uh hives.
27:03
SPEAKER_01: That's it.
27:04
SPEAKER_03: I I I'm not sure.
27:07
SPEAKER_03: I mean, Will may know.
27:08
SPEAKER_03: I'm I'm not sure, but I think you can have ostrich farms where they not ostrich farms, kangaroo farms where they they cook, they eat the kangaroo.
27:17
SPEAKER_04: That was during your visits in Australia.
27:19
SPEAKER_03: Well, I know in Australia they do that, but I think you can in the States.
27:21
SPEAKER_04: But kangaroos are still mammals, so they still have the uh, they're marsupials.
27:28
SPEAKER_04: They're marsupials, but I think they're red meat.
27:30
SPEAKER_04: Oh, or are they considered like uh closer to a rodent, I think.
27:34
SPEAKER_04: Um, okay.
27:36
SPEAKER_04: Which are still mammals.
27:37
SPEAKER_03: Anyways, it's weird food you can eat, right?
27:40
SPEAKER_04: That is that they seem to be a little aggressive too, those kangaroos.
27:44
SPEAKER_04: There's a lot of kangaroo boxing videos online.
27:47
SPEAKER_03: They don't not mess around.
27:48
SPEAKER_04: And they have Wolverine claws that uh yeah.
27:52
SPEAKER_04: In Australia, they put those things around their dogs like a body vest to save them, to save their neck and stuff when kangaroos they just smack you good.
28:00
SPEAKER_03: I I did see them in Australia in the wild.
28:03
SPEAKER_01: A dingo ate.
28:07
SPEAKER_04: It says the flightless bird's meat, red in color and high in iron, has a look and taste similar to beef.
28:15
SPEAKER_01: I've had ostrich before.
28:16
SPEAKER_04: Really?
28:17
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
28:17
SPEAKER_04: Is this at one of those German restaurants?
28:19
SPEAKER_01: No, actually, it was uh shoot.
28:21
SPEAKER_01: Who who was the guy that uh was married to Jane Fonda and had Oh Ted Turner?
28:26
SPEAKER_01: Ted Turner.
28:27
SPEAKER_01: He had restaurants.
28:27
SPEAKER_01: Uh it was one of his restaurants.
28:29
SPEAKER_01: It was called Ted's restaurant, yeah.
28:31
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
28:32
SPEAKER_04: That's a sold ostrich.
28:33
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
28:34
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they probably and bison.
28:36
SPEAKER_01: Bison and all all sorts of yeah, rare rare things.
28:40
SPEAKER_03: Bison and elk are what you should be eating, they say.
28:44
SPEAKER_04: I well, I think.
28:47
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
28:47
SPEAKER_04: Well, well, all your stuff, turkey, chicken, all the white meat, yeah.
28:51
SPEAKER_04: It's probably uh I don't know what the health benefits are to bison and veal versus like an ostrich.
28:57
SPEAKER_03: They're supposedly like they're they're they're eating what they eat to supply their food is more healthy than you get from these cattle that are on cattle ranch.
29:10
SPEAKER_01: On a side note, I my uh grill rusted through.
29:14
SPEAKER_01: I couldn't get uh um rails to replace for it, so I just got rid of the the grill and I bought a um a griddle.
29:24
SPEAKER_01: I got the blackstone griddle.
29:26
SPEAKER_01: I've been using the heck out of that thing.
29:29
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
29:29
SPEAKER_01: After I've seasoned it and stuff like that.
29:32
SPEAKER_01: We that's what we did for breakfast today.
29:35
SPEAKER_04: Could you put little wood chips in there or something, like a grill?
29:38
SPEAKER_01: No, no.
29:39
SPEAKER_01: Just just just uh you know, the gas to heat up the one flat surface instead of having you know the uh the open surfaces on it.
29:48
SPEAKER_01: It's just a flat surface on it.
29:49
SPEAKER_01: Oh and you just put a little oil and and um it's it's a little tricky because you have to time things, you have to work with temperature.
29:57
SPEAKER_01: I actually have to get a IR temp gun so I can figure out, you know, yeah, the the Well they have the little metal one you can like that.
30:07
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
30:08
SPEAKER_04: Will Will likes the probing.
30:09
SPEAKER_01: That's right.
30:10
SPEAKER_01: Probing probing.
30:12
SPEAKER_01: IR probing.
30:13
SPEAKER_01: That's right, yeah.
30:15
SPEAKER_01: Come over here.
30:16
SPEAKER_03: I'm doing an IR probe today.
30:18
SPEAKER_02: You're a little high.
30:20
SPEAKER_02: Randy, if you want to see some ostriches, there's uh a nearby farm, Misty Morning Ranch in Robbins, North Carolina.
30:28
SPEAKER_01: Randy's ostrich porn.
30:30
SPEAKER_02: Dedicated ostrich breeding farm where you can see hundreds of ostriches.
30:33
SPEAKER_03: We can do a road trip.
30:34
SPEAKER_02: Oh, this sounds like a road trip.
30:36
SPEAKER_03: Are those for eating or are those just for three-hour drive from here?
30:39
SPEAKER_04: Three-hour drive, so about like from here to Columbia.
30:41
SPEAKER_01: How do you want to enjoy them?
30:43
SPEAKER_02: What are they doing with these ostrich?
30:45
SPEAKER_02: Are they eating them or it says breeding farm?
30:48
SPEAKER_02: So that means there's a lot of expertise.
30:53
SPEAKER_04: One in Loras?
30:54
SPEAKER_04: Dang, that that's that's like uh I could be in Loras in under an hour.
30:59
SPEAKER_04: We could go and see Rogue and uh does Eagle, yeah, and we'll go uh check out the ostrich's farm.
31:04
SPEAKER_03: I know they I like Loras, it's kind of fun.
31:06
SPEAKER_03: Loris is interesting, they got a good barbecue there.
31:09
SPEAKER_03: Where is uh Sally, South Carolina?
31:12
SPEAKER_02: Sally.
31:12
SPEAKER_02: Ever heard of it?
31:13
SPEAKER_01: Not sure.
31:14
SPEAKER_02: Oh and a half hour drive.
31:17
SPEAKER_04: One thing about South Carolina you have to be careful about is you get out in the woods, like between here and Charleston, and things get a little scary.
31:25
SPEAKER_04: I've been there.
31:25
SPEAKER_04: Oh, god.
31:26
SPEAKER_04: You've been there.
31:27
SPEAKER_04: They're scary for me.
31:30
SPEAKER_04: Why are you whipping out this uh sash budget behavior?
31:33
SPEAKER_04: I go all around.
31:34
SPEAKER_03: I just joined in.
31:35
SPEAKER_04: What is it?
31:37
SPEAKER_02: That sounds like a pulling.
31:38
SPEAKER_02: Randy, you can get up close and personal, you can even feed them.
31:41
SPEAKER_02: Uh even feed them?
31:42
SPEAKER_02: This is like the I've actually fed them before.
31:45
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
31:45
SPEAKER_04: Aren't ostriches freaking huge, like nine feet tall?
31:48
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, big big eyes.
31:49
SPEAKER_02: Uh not nine, but probably with their neck up, probably like seven.
31:54
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's um that's a little freaky.
31:56
SPEAKER_02: But you basically you you take a bowl of food and then you back up to the fence and you hold the bowl like over your around your shoulder, and they can put your shoulder with their neck and just eat out of the bowl right over your shoulder.
32:09
SPEAKER_02: That's cool.
32:09
SPEAKER_02: Oh my god.
32:10
SPEAKER_02: I like I like Oscar.
32:11
SPEAKER_04: Well, before it was shut down, I went to that Wacama Zoo.
32:13
SPEAKER_04: And uh I forget if it was, did they have like a giraffe type thing or was it a camel or something?
32:19
SPEAKER_04: They had everything there, I think.
32:21
SPEAKER_04: They had all sorts of illegal animals, illegal wildlife.
32:24
SPEAKER_04: Uh, and it would just like spit at you from like away.
32:29
SPEAKER_03: Llamas or spitters.
32:30
SPEAKER_02: I think it was they don't like alpacas.
32:33
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, alpacas are they're spitters too.
32:35
SPEAKER_02: There's uh there's a tiger king guy over in uh Sakassi, too.
32:38
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
32:38
SPEAKER_02: Oh he's still there.
32:39
SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
32:40
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think he's in the process of being shut down, but that's been going on for about two years.
32:43
SPEAKER_01: Doc Ample.
32:44
SPEAKER_02: I think he actually has an elephant there, doesn't he?
32:46
SPEAKER_02: Doc Annel has a lot of elephants.
32:47
SPEAKER_01: Oh, they used to train for movies.
32:49
SPEAKER_04: So if you bought the bridge, yeah.
32:52
SPEAKER_01: Oh, Liger, yeah.
32:52
SPEAKER_04: Cool.
32:53
SPEAKER_04: These are part of the reasons if you go to J.
32:55
SPEAKER_04: Rubin Long Mug Shots, you'll you'll see Mr.
32:57
SPEAKER_04: Doc Annel on there because he gets he imports all these wild ass animals.
33:02
SPEAKER_01: The the guy has all the stories about Doc Annel is Graham Dickinson, because Graham uh they did a uh Animal Apprentice uh promo show um out from there uh through uh Encore video productions.
33:20
SPEAKER_04: Wow.
33:20
SPEAKER_04: Yeah also known as Myrtle Beach Safari.
33:23
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
33:24
SPEAKER_04: Where people can privately visit, and you would never know it's there off of Saucasti Boulevard.
33:29
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and it's hidden back in the woods by the waterway.
33:32
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
33:32
SPEAKER_02: There's a lot hidden back in the woods out there.
33:36
SPEAKER_02: I heard stories that the elephant actually bathes in the intercoastal waterway.
33:41
SPEAKER_04: It does, yeah.
33:41
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, you can see it when if you get the timing just right, you can see they had bears there, like grizzly bears and tigers, ligers.
33:51
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
33:52
SPEAKER_01: A couple of uh Randy's uh ex-girlfriends.
33:55
SPEAKER_01: They were brilliant.
34:01
SPEAKER_01: No, that's the hippo.
34:02
SPEAKER_01: That's Dorothy.
34:04
SPEAKER_01: That's a hippogan, the kid the the the man killer.
34:08
SPEAKER_04: The man killer.
34:12
SPEAKER_04: Those elephants and eleven animals, they're very dangerous.
34:17
SPEAKER_04: It did say that the farm is looking to double their herd, and they've been importing a lot of them from Africa.
34:25
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but why import?
34:26
SPEAKER_03: See, that's that's the thing.
34:27
SPEAKER_03: I mean, going back to human stupidity.
34:30
SPEAKER_03: I mean, breeding's the way, and you just deal with the stock that you have and you let the wild birds be the wild birds.
34:36
SPEAKER_03: Grow up, abe.
34:37
SPEAKER_03: Grow up.
34:39
SPEAKER_03: Well, that they're gonna be able to do it.
34:40
SPEAKER_03: And if you can't fulfill the need, figure out how to figure figure out how to fulfill the need.
34:44
SPEAKER_03: Don't be a fool.
34:46
SPEAKER_04: You must really miss burgers if you need to eat a seven-foot bird to make up for it.
34:52
SPEAKER_01: So hey, the drumstick is incredible, you know.
34:56
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's the size of a human leg.
34:59
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, well, I just thought that was another, you know.
35:01
SPEAKER_04: I didn't know if Darren would be morally opposed to this.
35:04
SPEAKER_03: I'm bird related.
35:06
SPEAKER_03: I'm not eating ostrich.
35:07
SPEAKER_03: I have no desire.
35:08
SPEAKER_03: But if you want to breed ostrich and do that, that's cool.
35:11
SPEAKER_03: But breed them, don't import them, don't be an idiot.
35:14
SPEAKER_03: It's kind of like the parrot trait.
35:15
SPEAKER_03: It's like, why the hell are you capturing adult parrots and importing them when you can easily breed parrots?
35:22
SPEAKER_03: And nobody wants an adult parrot.
35:23
SPEAKER_03: Right.
35:24
SPEAKER_03: It's stupid.
35:24
SPEAKER_03: You want to be able to do it.
35:29
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
35:29
SPEAKER_02: And more manageable.
35:31
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, a little more manageable if they get out of line.
35:33
SPEAKER_02: By the way, I don't know how I didn't see this.
35:35
SPEAKER_02: Right at the top of this, there's alligator adventure here in North Myrtle Beach, 13 minutes away.
35:39
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
35:41
SPEAKER_02: Oh, they've got ostriches.
35:42
SPEAKER_02: They have ostriches.
35:43
SPEAKER_02: Oh, so we're doing after this podcast.
35:49
SPEAKER_03: I haven't been to Alligator Adventure.
35:50
SPEAKER_03: I've never been to it.
35:51
SPEAKER_01: Oh, it is so fun.
35:52
SPEAKER_01: It is.
35:52
SPEAKER_01: It is fun.
35:53
SPEAKER_03: I want to go.
35:54
SPEAKER_03: I want to go.
35:55
SPEAKER_03: I want to go with Mike.
35:56
SPEAKER_03: You know, Mike, Mafia Mike would get a where's he today?
36:00
SPEAKER_03: He gets excited.
36:01
SPEAKER_04: Oh, he's business to deal with, collections to do.
36:06
SPEAKER_01: Well, he had birthday-related things going on, too.
36:09
SPEAKER_03: Oh, they got him in his outfit and everything.
36:11
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's wearing suit.
36:13
SPEAKER_01: His tutu and the brass.
36:16
SPEAKER_03: He would be a lot of fun at alligator adventure.
36:18
SPEAKER_03: He would.
36:18
SPEAKER_03: I think he would get pretty worked up.
36:20
SPEAKER_04: You would need him as a counterbalance for the danger of the alligators.
36:23
SPEAKER_04: You bring Mafia Mike as a backup weapon.
36:26
SPEAKER_04: That's right.
36:27
SPEAKER_04: If they see he can punch them on their nose with two of sharks.
36:30
SPEAKER_01: I'll take them on.
36:33
SPEAKER_04: Exactly.
36:34
SPEAKER_04: Exactly.
36:35
SPEAKER_04: I will say, discussing Tiger King, Joe Exotic used to do tours through Myrtle Beach.
36:42
SPEAKER_04: So it's not just Doc Annell.
36:44
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
36:44
SPEAKER_04: But Myrtle Beach with Alligator Adventure and Wacama Zoo that got shut down and uh the whole shebang.
36:52
SPEAKER_04: There's a long history of wildlife slash illegal animal importation in Myrtle Beach.
36:59
SPEAKER_04: Nice backstory.
37:00
SPEAKER_04: Hidden Myrtle.
37:03
SPEAKER_04: Part of the dark side of Myrtle.
37:06
SPEAKER_04: But speaking of this is a great transition.
37:11
SPEAKER_04: Speaking of African animals, we are discussing ancient humans now.
37:17
SPEAKER_04: 25,000-year-old evidence of drug use found.
37:22
SPEAKER_04: Well, it's in Indonesia.
37:23
SPEAKER_04: They had migrated out.
37:25
SPEAKER_04: The transition failed a little bit.
37:28
SPEAKER_04: As researchers have discovered, humans may have been taking mind-altering drugs, Darren, much earlier than the 1980s in San Francisco.
37:42
SPEAKER_04: That is there, there is a background.
37:45
SPEAKER_04: The previously believed evidence suggests that up to 25,000 years ago, certain Indonesian civilizations utilized beetle nuts as medications, according to recent research.
38:00
SPEAKER_04: But according to the BBC, researchers in Australia's Griffith uh university discovered peculiar patterns in the skeletal remains of prehistoric humans that they had connected to beetle nut sucking.
38:16
SPEAKER_01: Now, how how how how where did they get the teeny tiny little uh uh tweezers to get the beetle nuts?
38:24
SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
38:24
SPEAKER_04: It might just be sucking on the full beetle by itself.
38:27
SPEAKER_04: People do weird stuff then.
38:29
SPEAKER_03: I'm confused.
38:30
SPEAKER_02: Like the uh the old joke about smelling moth mothballs.
38:33
SPEAKER_02: Mothballs.
38:34
SPEAKER_03: Is this a sucking beetle balls?
38:37
SPEAKER_03: A nut, like in the nut family, or is this real beetle?
38:40
SPEAKER_03: No, it's real.
38:41
SPEAKER_03: It's like a palm nut.
38:42
SPEAKER_04: It's like a no, listen.
38:44
SPEAKER_04: According to the study's principal, yeah, investigator, Professor Adam Broom, uh this might be the earliest evidence of drug use anywhere in the world.
38:56
SPEAKER_05: Sure.
38:56
SPEAKER_04: The unusual skeletal remains of the two early human foragers from the Indonesian island of Soloesai, were found according to a recent study in science advances, one between 25,000 and 16,000 years and one between six and seven thousand years old.
39:12
SPEAKER_04: The researchers discovered that swallowing whole beetle nuts was the source of the hunter-gatherer's distinctive dental wear pattern, which included deep rounded tooth grooves.
39:23
SPEAKER_04: Beetle nuts, which are seeds of the beetle, or a rec a catachu palm cause moderate euphoria and increase consciousness when eating.
39:36
SPEAKER_03: So I mean lots of things have come out of the palm from a psychedelic and empathogenic uh standpoint.
39:44
SPEAKER_03: So they've throughout time have used that as a substance and modified that substance.
39:50
SPEAKER_03: So it totally makes sense.
39:51
SPEAKER_04: It does.
39:53
SPEAKER_04: It does also say that although poorly known in Western societies, it is the world's fourth most widely used psychoactive substance after alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine.
40:04
SPEAKER_04: Wait, wait a minute.
40:04
SPEAKER_04: What is the beetle nutelnut?
40:07
SPEAKER_02: So the fourth most on our 10 to 20% of the world's population still does this stuff.
40:13
SPEAKER_02: Sucks on beetle nuts.
40:14
SPEAKER_03: Well what's interesting.
40:16
SPEAKER_03: We should study it.
40:17
SPEAKER_03: Are they making a drink out of it?
40:19
SPEAKER_03: Like Well, that'd be something like eating.
40:20
SPEAKER_01: I mean, if it's a rebel rabbit and find out if it's numbers for the world.
40:25
SPEAKER_03: So how are they consuming it?
40:27
SPEAKER_02: This is what they do.
40:28
SPEAKER_02: They're not sucking on a nut, that's not they grind it up or they slice it, and then they wrap it in leaves of a piper beetle vine that's been coated with lime.
40:36
SPEAKER_02: Oh.
40:37
SPEAKER_02: That's known as a beetle quid.
40:39
SPEAKER_02: And then they can add tobacco or spices.
40:42
SPEAKER_03: So it's like they're sucking on it like a like a chew.
40:44
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
40:46
SPEAKER_03: They're not making a drink or anything.
40:48
SPEAKER_01: They're not even using a underutilizing it, is what we're finding out.
40:52
SPEAKER_03: I'm starting to wonder, is this legal in the U.S.?
40:54
SPEAKER_01: I'm sure Beetle Two.
40:56
SPEAKER_01: We do need to get we need to get a hold of the guys with Rebel Rabbit.
40:59
SPEAKER_01: I think we've got something.
41:00
SPEAKER_03: Is it legal in the US?
41:01
SPEAKER_03: I mean, it doesn't sound like it's something we've ever adopted.
41:04
SPEAKER_04: How have we not incorporated this Eastern-related Indonesia?
41:10
SPEAKER_03: I mean, it's a different world.
41:12
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
41:12
SPEAKER_03: It really is.
41:13
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
41:13
SPEAKER_03: Indonesia.
41:14
SPEAKER_03: But how's this number four?
41:15
SPEAKER_03: That kind of blows my mind.
41:16
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we're all.
41:17
SPEAKER_03: Like, I mean, caffeine is like the drug of choice for the world, right?
41:21
SPEAKER_03: Within the United States.
41:23
SPEAKER_03: Tea leaves and coffee, it's like the drug.
41:26
SPEAKER_02: I mean Betelnut is not classified as a controlled substance in the U.S., but the FDA prohibits its sale or marketing as a food, dietary supplement, or drug due to health risks.
41:37
SPEAKER_02: What are the risks?
41:38
SPEAKER_02: Um, in treatment consciousness, relaxation.
41:47
SPEAKER_02: They say it's a non-carcinogen causes oral cancer.
41:50
SPEAKER_02: Oh.
41:51
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well, so does tobacco.
41:52
SPEAKER_02: Right, exactly.
41:53
SPEAKER_02: Um high dependence and addiction.
41:56
SPEAKER_02: Uh and uh it stains your teeth, damages your gums, and can cause permanent scarring of the mouth tissue.
42:03
SPEAKER_02: Wow.
42:04
SPEAKER_04: That might tie into the cancer part.
42:06
SPEAKER_04: It does.
42:06
SPEAKER_02: Despite federal restrictions on commercial food sales, raw nuts or cultural products can sometimes still be found in specialty Asian grocery stores.
42:17
SPEAKER_01: Well, I guess we're gonna go down to the uh local Asian store.
42:20
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
42:21
SPEAKER_02: Next time we go have fun.
42:22
SPEAKER_02: Go across the street.
42:23
SPEAKER_01: Get to potato nut.
42:27
SPEAKER_01: There we go.
42:27
SPEAKER_03: I'm really, you know, this is a new one.
42:29
SPEAKER_03: I've never heard of this.
42:31
SPEAKER_03: It's an interesting wonder.
42:33
SPEAKER_03: I mean, we talked about the gnome drug.
42:35
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, the gnome drug was that totally the mushroom thing makes sense.
42:38
SPEAKER_03: And then, you know, the whole theory I think Terrence McKenna came up with, one of the one of the people that did was that you know, humans were following cows.
42:47
SPEAKER_03: Right?
42:47
SPEAKER_03: We domesticated cows, we started using their milk products, their meat products in this journey of the cow, which is throughout history in humans, cow dung created the psychedelic mushrooms, which led to a lot of new, you know, scientific theory, mathematics, you know, this explain the Indian respect for the cow.
43:08
SPEAKER_03: Well, good.
43:09
SPEAKER_03: I mean, all these things are related, but this dung, this beetle nut is really That's an interesting thing.
43:16
SPEAKER_03: And then what about the movie Beetlejuice?
43:18
SPEAKER_03: Is that did it come out of this?
43:20
SPEAKER_01: Well, I do think this is an opportune time to let our listeners know.
43:23
SPEAKER_01: If you are interested in, well, euphoria, trying to uh experiment a little bit with your mind, uh, go to zoom trip.com and try out their products right there.
43:34
SPEAKER_04: Uh yeah, one Rebel Rabbit, you get one Zoom pill and start experimenting.
43:40

43:53
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
43:54
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
43:55
SPEAKER_04: That'll I mean that there's there's some my there's some mind-altering uplifting.
44:01
SPEAKER_04: Mind expanding.
44:02
SPEAKER_04: Mind expanding.
44:04
SPEAKER_04: It said it was previously believed that drug use started around 13,000 years ago with fermented alcoholic beverages, the introduction of farming.
44:12
SPEAKER_04: But according to Broome, the approach fails to account for the possibility that very ancient drug taking lies at the roots of our commonly used psychoactive substances.
44:24
SPEAKER_04: The study suggests that certain contemporary drug taking behaviors have deep roots in forager traditions by pinpointing the ancient activity that underlies beetle nut chewing as we know it.
44:36
SPEAKER_04: That's really wild.
44:37
SPEAKER_03: I mean, I'm we you know, we do have kava.
44:40
SPEAKER_03: K-A-V-A, which is a root, and it's a Polynesian, right?
44:44
SPEAKER_03: So Fiji all through there in New Zealand.
44:48
SPEAKER_03: And it you can go to a kava bar and get kava, and it's very calming and relaxing.
44:53
SPEAKER_03: And it's similar to it operates on the brain similar to the way alcohol does, but nowhere near as damaging.
45:00
SPEAKER_03: It does have long you know liver liver damage if you're using.
45:04
SPEAKER_03: Using it excessively.
45:06
SPEAKER_01: Right.
45:06
SPEAKER_03: But it's a mild.
45:08
SPEAKER_01: Human beings are not the only animals on this earth that uh consume alcohol.
45:13
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's true.
45:14
SPEAKER_01: Elephants and in uh monkeys, chimpanzees.
45:18
SPEAKER_03: Lots of birds, too.
45:18
SPEAKER_01: Lots of birds?
45:19
SPEAKER_03: Like the lorries in Australia go bonkers on alcohol.
45:23
SPEAKER_01: And they know how to find it.
45:25
SPEAKER_02: I mean, all those YouTube videos of these squirrels that are eating like fermented berries.
45:32
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, deer too.
45:33
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
45:33
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
45:34
SPEAKER_04: Is this why the Muslims in Indonesia are so calm?
45:37
SPEAKER_04: As they have all these beetle nuts.
45:38
SPEAKER_04: The suck.
45:39
SPEAKER_03: It's really, I mean, you know, you're opening up a can of worms there, a can of monkeys.
45:44
SPEAKER_03: It's like that's a monkey.
45:46
SPEAKER_03: There's millions, there's millions of Muslims in Indonesia.

SPEAKER_03: That's the most Muslims on earth.
45:51
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
45:52
SPEAKER_03: They're not attacking and killing people.
45:54
SPEAKER_03: That it maybe the Beetle natural psychedelic.
45:57
SPEAKER_03: I know the Romans have a problem with this.
45:58
SPEAKER_03: Sorry.
45:59
SPEAKER_03: Sorry, Rome.
46:00
SPEAKER_01: Well, that's maybe it's because they're Sufi.
46:03
SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
46:03
SPEAKER_03: They're Sufi.
46:04
SPEAKER_03: I don't know what they mean.
46:05
SPEAKER_03: I mean, it is just a weird concept.
46:08
SPEAKER_04: It is interesting.
46:08
SPEAKER_04: Maybe uh imagine the first caveman to suck a beetle nut and suddenly inventing progressive rock.
46:16
SPEAKER_01: I'm trying to rem just imagine somebody sucking a beetle nut.
46:20
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
46:21
SPEAKER_04: We need we there's some VHS ideas in here.
46:26
SPEAKER_01: We'll hijack a fire tree.
46:27
SPEAKER_01: Beetle nut born.
46:29
SPEAKER_03: I'm very interested in Indonesia.
46:31
SPEAKER_03: I watch an Indonesian movie that was like a zombie apocalypse movie, and it was really cool.
46:36
SPEAKER_03: Like it is their buildings and the jungles and stuff.
46:40
SPEAKER_03: I was close to it in Australia and I I ate their food and it was like extremely hot.
46:45

SPEAKER_03: I don't even know what I ate.
46:52
SPEAKER_03: Wow.
46:52
SPEAKER_03: It was just straight on the street, Indonesian food, but they were selling it on the street, and it was just like whoa.
46:58
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
46:58
SPEAKER_02: The spiciest food I think I ever ate was uh a bowl of Malaysian soup.
47:03
SPEAKER_02: I took like one bite, I could feel my face turn red.
47:07
SPEAKER_02: I started watering, I was sweating.
47:09
SPEAKER_02: Wow.

SPEAKER_04: I think it's popcorn, and that's what I'm doing.
47:42
SPEAKER_04: Do you think this may have influenced the foundation of religion itself?
47:46
SPEAKER_03: I think animism and look, our brains have these chemicals in them already, like natural chemicals of DMT, natural cannabinoids that are in our brains.
47:55
SPEAKER_03: I think we're hardwired to have these experiences, and yes, I think they're spiritual related and consciousness related.
48:02
SPEAKER_03: Well, they said it's a good idea.
48:03
SPEAKER_03: We're hardwired to Yeah, I mean we are.
48:06
SPEAKER_03: I I believe that we are.
48:08
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
48:09
SPEAKER_04: Even though he was a materialist earlier on.
48:12
SPEAKER_03: But I'm talking materialism because you have an endocannabinoid system in your body.
48:17
SPEAKER_03: I mean, we have receptors that are built to take this.
48:19
SPEAKER_03: Our receptors aren't built to take alcohol.
48:22
SPEAKER_03: Alcohol is a toxin to our body.
48:24
SPEAKER_03: Okay, and then you have DMT being produced in your brain.
48:28
SPEAKER_03: When you die, you're producing large amounts of DMT.
48:32
SPEAKER_03: Okay, so and they they call that the spirit molecule.
48:36
SPEAKER_03: They call that your closest connection to heaven, but it's being built within your body.
48:42
SPEAKER_01: Don't go to the light.
48:43
SPEAKER_01: Don't go to the light.
48:44
SPEAKER_03: Is that part of the near-death experience?
48:46
SPEAKER_03: It is.
48:46
SPEAKER_03: Well, large amounts of it show up in when you when you die.
48:50
SPEAKER_03: So they they can track what's going on neurochemically in your brain as as you pass, you're being flooded with DMT, which produces that experience.
49:00
SPEAKER_01: Interesting.
49:01
SPEAKER_01: Interesting.
49:02
SPEAKER_03: And they're saying too, and I've I'm not a DMT person, I've never never done that doing safety first at this point.
49:09
SPEAKER_03: But at this stage, they say that it's lifting the veil of our perception of reality, right?
49:16
SPEAKER_03: We only perceive so much of reality.
49:18
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, this opens up a fuller perspective of reality and hence why they see these creatures and these beings.
49:25
SPEAKER_03: They people are assuming these beings are already exist.
49:30
SPEAKER_03: We just don't see them.
49:31
SPEAKER_01: Oh I I wish we had uh Hamilton Morris from Hamilton's pharmacopia here to talk talk about this stuff.
49:39
SPEAKER_01: We should do that podcast.

50:09
SPEAKER_04: At the end of last week's show, we discussed a little bit of the Mafia Mike sports uh handicapping.
50:18
SPEAKER_04: Which it sounds like from when I listened to the last one, Mafia Mike ended up a little handicapped by your predictions.
50:26
SPEAKER_04: So I wonder with Jeff is not only a mathematician, but he is also a sports nerd.
50:36
SPEAKER_04: Or sports obsessed.
50:38
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, a sports guy.
50:40
SPEAKER_04: He's dabbled in the sports here.
50:42

50:46
SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh, yeah.
50:48
SPEAKER_01: But I don't know if you've if you guys watched what was really uh kind of uh entertaining uh just happened is uh Ohio State getting uh nipped at the end by uh Texas.
51:03
SPEAKER_01: I didn't watch that one.
51:04
SPEAKER_01: Oh, you've got to go.
51:06
SPEAKER_01: I swear you've gotta go and see the uh the highlights on it.
51:10
SPEAKER_01: Um Texas had to come from a 20-point deficit uh to to catch up to these guys.
51:16
SPEAKER_04: Well, and Ohio State's like one of the top ranked.
51:19
SPEAKER_01: They were number one.
51:20
SPEAKER_01: Well, they were number one.
51:21
SPEAKER_04: Darren and myself are not in the sports world.
51:26
SPEAKER_04: We're learning through osmosis.
51:27
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, we're gonna we've been dabbling with uh Jeff's uh bowling and pinball tournaments.
51:32
SPEAKER_04: I love that.
51:34
SPEAKER_03: Stock car racing's a lot of fun, like going to the stock car races is well you think it's more fun than you.
51:39
SPEAKER_01: You're just involved with the pit lizards, but yeah.
51:43
SPEAKER_04: Oh, a NASCAR snob.
51:47
SPEAKER_03: I I really enjoyed the 500 was a lot of fun.
51:52
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
51:52
SPEAKER_04: Who won?
51:55
SPEAKER_03: Dead silence and blue.
52:00
SPEAKER_01: It's just been a while.
52:02
SPEAKER_03: It was a it was a tight race.
52:04
SPEAKER_02: I forget.
52:04
SPEAKER_02: I I was watching it rooting for Kyle Larson.
52:07
SPEAKER_02: He was winning with like 20 to go, but then they red flagged it because of the rain, which was the actually the shortest rain delay I've ever experienced in NASCAR.
52:16
SPEAKER_02: Like they they parked for maybe five minutes, yeah, and they went right back out.
52:20
SPEAKER_02: They didn't even like dry the track off or anything.
52:23
SPEAKER_02: But I'm glad they did that though, because it if they had finished under yellow flag, just that would have been so lame.
52:30
SPEAKER_02: And they had a you know, like a 20 lap shootout.
52:32
SPEAKER_02: It was it was a lot of fun.
52:33
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that last 20 laps was brutal.
52:35
SPEAKER_03: The the one I liked number five, I forget who that was.
52:38
SPEAKER_03: Larson, yeah.
52:39
SPEAKER_03: Larson.
52:39
SPEAKER_03: I was voting for I was really for him because he he pulled ahead and kept the lead for so long.
52:44
SPEAKER_03: But when that happened, the last 20 laps, he went all the way down into like sixth place, I think.
52:50
SPEAKER_03: But he had the lead.
52:51
SPEAKER_01: I'm just so sorry you guys didn't experience the uh the days of free free cigarette packs and stuff like that going in.
52:58
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I did.
52:59
SPEAKER_01: Oh, you did, yeah.
53:00
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
53:00
SPEAKER_02: Back when it was the Winston series.
53:02
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I really that was great.
53:05
SPEAKER_02: I really walked in, you walked in, you showed them your ticket, they handed you a pack of cigarettes for free.
53:10
SPEAKER_04: There's one Budweiser and a pack of cigarettes.
53:12
SPEAKER_04: I mean pretty much it was crazy.
53:14
SPEAKER_04: It was crazy.
53:15
SPEAKER_01: It was.
53:15
SPEAKER_01: I mean, you you could come out and you'd have just handfuls of of these things, yeah, of cigarettes and stuff, different flavors and everything else that they had.
53:24
SPEAKER_03: What I like is these these guys, and they're mostly men that do this.
53:28
SPEAKER_03: I'm sure there's the female version, but they've got the stairwells that go up, and then they've got the kind of platform at the bottom of the stairs.
53:37
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
53:38
SPEAKER_03: These guys get up out of their seat and run to that platform and they're like flipping the drivers off, or they're go, go, go.
53:46
SPEAKER_03: And there's no way the drivers are can see them at all, but it's this ritual dance that they go to.
53:51
SPEAKER_03: Oh, sure.
53:52
SPEAKER_03: That is like so bizarre, and it happens every time I've gone.
53:55
SPEAKER_03: There's always one or two of them that do this.
53:58
SPEAKER_03: I don't know what you call it.
53:59
SPEAKER_01: I'll tell you some of my my stories.
54:01
SPEAKER_01: Uh I was the um I was the manager for General Motors Corporation uh that had they gerrymandered my district to have both uh uh North Carolina Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway.
54:17
SPEAKER_01: So I had Hickory and Charlotte, and so the I-40 corridor that that was there.
54:23
SPEAKER_01: And um we would have the the brass coming in from Detroit or from New York, and um they would want to see all of our wonderful AC Delco uh memorabilia going all the way through the the the uh highways of those who were taking the highway.
54:44
SPEAKER_01: Other ones I had to coordinate um helicopter rides to the um to the venues and stuff like that, which is an another story that goes along with it.
54:55
SPEAKER_01: Pre Madonna's.
54:56
SPEAKER_01: But I would have to coordinate guys to go at certain times of the day to keep putting up all these signs on the fences and fence posts and and things along the highway and roads and by certain gas stations and so on and so forth, because right behind them were going to be the race fans getting out of their cars, running out and cutting them off the things and putting them into their trucks.
55:21
SPEAKER_01: We have to have tons of them.
55:23
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and we would go through and and uh it was just cycling through through these things.
55:28
SPEAKER_01: So I would try to coordinate it where okay, what time is uh is Art leaving the the hotel?
55:34
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so he's gonna be on the road from this time to this time.
55:38
SPEAKER_01: Okay, Dave, make sure you're out there going in this so we've been setting them up just before so they could see all the things on the way there as they're getting cut down.
55:48
SPEAKER_01: And uh I did, I did, I I talked to to to one of the uh the executives.
55:54
SPEAKER_01: I said, Well, what'd you think about our you know our our uh local um uh promotions and so on for the for the race and stuff?
56:03
SPEAKER_01: And he goes, What's amazing is all these people that were trying to cut our signs down is the downside to the stretch.
56:13
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and he said, you know, uh the timing was in I said, uh I gotta confess, you know, we we put them up just before you got there because we knew they were gonna be cut down uh at that time.
56:24
SPEAKER_04: Will's always getting in trouble.
56:26
SPEAKER_01: Oh gosh, yeah.
56:28
SPEAKER_01: They couldn't they couldn't wait to fire me.

56:35
SPEAKER_01: They had to chase me, chase me into uh uh into Tennessee to do it.
56:42
SPEAKER_01: They chased me over into Memphis and gave me a whole new whole new job and fleet.
56:47
