• giants: So I had an unfortunate event happen over the weekend. Or I guess it wasn't the weekend. I guess it was like two days ago. Yeah. And it was involving your dog. Yeah, like like like I I I asked for help. I don't like asking for but I needed help. And then she obviously is always offering. Always. And she comes over. And you really took one for the team. Well, no, I w it actually wasn't bad. It could have been so much worse. Just the the the the image. ⁓ huh. I Okay, so she has her new puppy Grim, who is an adorable I was gonna say adorable little shit, but he eats everything. Eats everything. And so she was on her way home from a lovely beach vacation with her family and asked, you know, can you we are not gonna be home for like three hours, can you just go let him out to go potty? And I was like, Of course. So I go over there and ⁓ she's like, Make sure you pick him up and carry him so he doesn't like pee along the way in case he's really gotta go. So I get there and he's like howling, like making husky noises. But we're not saying that his husky side was definitely not coming out. And I carry him downstairs outside and I'm recording just so I can show Meg like what's going on. And so like I set him down and I'm recording and he starts running and he's and as he runs away from me, I'm like, is that a string hanging out of his butt? And so I quickly stop recording because I'm like, what the fuck is going on? Like six inches out of his butt. Six inches. And six inches. All of a sudden he then he starts dragging his butt along the grass. And I'm like, sweet baby. And I'm like, I look and I'm like, I like grab him, I'm like, no, that's a fucking string. And I'm what the fuck do I do? So I FaceTime Meg. And so she answers, and I'm like, everything's fine. Cause both you and your husband are like, you're like, what's wrong? You guys. And I was like, everything's fine. And I knew in your voice you're a lying sack of crap. But every it was fine. No one was dead. It was I was worried you were gonna say it was a worm. That's where my brain was going, like, ⁓ shit, ⁓ shit. As we're on the phone, he starts to shit, and then he relieves himself of like a knitted blanket that he had eaten that was on top of his kennel and it's like a huge chunk of the knitted blanket with the strings that were hanging out of his butt. Right out of his butthole. Right out of his butthole. And I said to her, I was willing to grab it and pull it if I had to. I was like, that would that was That would have really put a damper on things. It really would've. It really would have been, you know, it wasn't my choice, but I I I would do it for you and for him. But luckily he expelled it himself and then he proceeded to do what yesterday? ⁓ my God. So I'm up in Seattle going my friend and I went in to see Chase and Abbey, which was wonderful. They're a Celtic band. and Doug's out with the other girls at gymnastics and my oldest was home and she calls me and I'm like, Great, what's wrong? She goes, Mom, something's up with Grimm's stomach. And I'm like, I'm sure he's fine, blah, blah, blah. So Doug gets home, he goes, No, he's awful bloated. Well, turns out he ate three and a half cups of cat food. I get home, the damn dog looks pregnant. And the fart's coming out of his butt. Not good? And he sleeps with my oldest, and I'm like, Well, that's gonna be fun. He he she got gassed out of her room. He's fine. He's fine. But I said it it cleared out the system. You know, make sure there's no more blanket left. It reminds me of that. show this guy as high as the kite, he's Australian and he's in the back of an ambulance and he like ate four whole pizzas. Uh-huh. And the the EMT is like, you're gonna be fine. And the guy's like so high. He's like, no, you gotta give me mouth to mouth and suck it out. The EMT is like, I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do It's gonna pass to mouth. Just like it would any other thing. ⁓ my god. But that's what it reminded me. Yeah. I that was it was yeah that I was just like, your poor daughter is really getting a test of what motherhood is by like, you know, dealing with that. She had to get him up in the middle of the night to go shit outside. And then I got up early to grab him and then he proceeded to shit four more times. But he cleared he cleared he's making sure there's no blockages. There's no because blockages I was worried about that after I was like, you know, because it's like he 'cause the blanket on top had gotten ripped. He had gotten into it pretty good. And there is no more blanket on top of this kennel, you guys. Well, and because if it was a fleece bait blanket, it would have been fine. It was because it was a knitted one. Yeah. And so that was a yeah. So I made sure I removed it when I put him back and I felt bad because he was just like, Why are you leaving? I'm like, I'm sorry, bruh. I let him play. Anyways. But it's a puppy. We love puppies, right? He's so cute. He's so naughty. He's so naughty. I was over there and he's like just getting into all kinds of mischief. And Meg's like every two seconds, like, Grim, Grim, stop. Grim and all like Yeah. It's just funny. He's gonna be fine. Because CH, our older dog, like the easiest thing on the planet. ⁓ yeah. She's so chill. She's so chill. She's so each. I say go to bed, she goes to her kennel. Like and I'm like, he'll he'll get there. He is only four months old. He's just a baby. He's just a little baby. He just a baby who eats everything. Yes. He had his last shot. That's probably why he was feeling a little off last night too. I mean, the three and a half cups of cat food, but he also had his last round of shots. That'll do it. So he knows he's Puppy tails, man. Puppy tails. ⁓ man, you can remind me why I did this. He is so cute. Because he's so cute. He's so cute. He's worth it. But also hilarious. All right. ⁓ you want to joke? Mm-hmm. Okay. Why does it take one million sperm to fertilize one egg? ⁓ I I know we're gonna say something about men, but go ahead. Because they won't stop to ask for directions. Mr. Boo Boo, my husband actually sent me that one. So you know. There you go. All right. You know. Well, hello and welcome to Lunatic Soup, the podcast where we go into all things wild, weird, and unknown. We're your host, Meg. And I'm Reina, Ray to Broop's Lunatic Soup. Let's go. ⁓ What a freaking last couple weeks. That was a really weird noise I made with my mouth. We missed last week. We had gone up to Orcas Island to visit my daughter z daughters with your daughter and Which is amazing. You probably saw some pictures online. And before that was your daughter's birthday, and then we also and then you left out of town right after we got back. And so by the time we literally like It's like, ⁓ shit. We were like, we don't have an episode this week. And she was out of town. We're well, it's not happening. Yeah. It is what it is. So sorry I missed last week, guys. It is what it is. What it is. That's why they give us the big life. Life life. Yeah, that's it. ⁓ okay, so today we are going to be drinking. My lovely sister Shannon kindly gave us one of the ciders that she brought back from Canada that are like our favorites. You know, we had on here the peach and pear, but this one it's so it's the growers, and this is the blackberry. It is a very sweet blackberry, but we're gonna so we're gonna sour slut it, put some lime in it. But you I just feel like have to taste it because it. Has zero funk compared to like the blackberries that we know. Zero funk. Okay. You know how the black butt to me blackberries are Canadian. Yes, they are. A Canadian delicacy right here. And so we're splitting one, so we're gonna have to ⁓ Find something else after, I assume. And if I don't have to go get my daughter from gymnastics cap and my husband can, I'm making you a gin drink with that new gin I got. Lucky. I mean if you'll let me. If if if you must. So try it without the slut first and then Ooh, it smells it's like a drink we had as kids. Tastes like Canadian the clearly Canadians that I'm obsessed with. That's what it tastes like. Zero alcohol. Whoa. Is that not the most delicious? Like imagine? Yes. Five percent? Guys, that doesn't taste like anything. Any alcohol that we drink here has a funk to it. It either has like the seltzer funk or the It's that like fermented funk. But like you know it's alcohol. Yeah. This does not taste like clear No, this tastes like a Canadian clearly. Like a sweetened Canadian clearly. Uh-huh. But it's a Canadian clear. It tastes like I would just it is It tastes like something you should mix with the vodka. When you're hungover, you just drink one of these and all of a sudden you feel a hundred percent 'cause it doesn't taste like alcohol. That's called the hair of the dog, right? Why is it called that? I don't know, but I did just w hear someone talking about why it actually works and it Well 'cause it raises your blood alcohol level as you're depleted. ⁓ no. It's because it re releases this thing in your ⁓ brain and like this ⁓ something and it gabbo something or other makes Your hangover stop. Like obviously when you get redrunk, then you just forget your hungover, so it's fine. And but it does release something in your brain, is like what it actually does. So, anyways. I've I've actually seen ⁓ things about that where you can take supplements. I don't know if they work. You take supplements and then like if you want more light. Helps with the hangover because it does the same thing. I've heard of that too. I know there's one brand of ⁓ hangover things that I really want to ⁓ try. I gotta I found it somewhere. I need more light. I think I'm good. It is just isn't that delicious though? Because it's really good, you guys. It like when you're out on a fishing boat and you just like grapple boat. It was the best. I literally drank these like nonstop while we were up there. These and the peach and the pear. Oof. That is. I wanna know why theirs are so good. Right. Like it's Canadian. Canadian. They do everything wrong. They they do. It must be it. My my daughter was at a thing and there was a leadership person there and he was talking like she asking her questions, where do you wanna and she wants to she's looking at colleges in Canada and he did not like that. Why? 'Cause it's Canada, it's not the US of I. And then this other student was talking about like ⁓ where she wants to go to school and he goes, Well, what about Louisiana? She said, Well, I'd like to be near the ocean and he goes, Well, you've got the Gulf of America and I'm like, ⁓ that makes sense. There she is. There she is. Okay. There it is. There she blows. I'm like, what's wrong with you? I've never actually heard somebody say it in the wild. Yeah, I I don't think I have either. Gulf of America. I think I'd just be like so dumbfounded I'd be like, wait, anyways. To each their own. To each their own. I mean, I just you have to try to say the Gulf of America. Yeah. Like it's because it's been the Gulf of Mexico for like centuries. I can't ready for life to resume some sort of normal seat. I don't know. I don't know. When are the aliens gonna start showing up? That's what I'm ready for. Fix it. Whatever. Someone fix it. Jesus Christ. I've already gone through my champagne I was gonna pop when it when it happens. So I gotta get a new bottle just, you know, stand by. Otherwise I'm gonna be running out to the grocery store. Right? Yeah, door dashing it immediately. You and everybody else. I know. Is it the Vove? Yeah. Yeah. But you know, desperate times call call for desperate measures. And you when you need Vove, you need voof. Sometimes you just gotta drink it. Good you guys so good. All right, so today we were talking about one that you have wanted to talk about for a very long time. I know. And I started thinking about this is a like it's researched, but I did skim a little because I figured we know enough about it. We're gonna talk about I don't know that I actually know a ton about it. I just like have seen social media things about it. Okay. We'll we'll s we'll see what I we'll what I come up with. But this is kind of a last minute one because I'm like, ⁓ I wanna talk about Layas. Yeah, which is fun. I love but I love the like fun, like let's talk about 'cause these things are what excites me. What I have on tap is the Illuminati, and that might be a two parter. That's a two parter for sure. I and I had a couple others, but they just weren't sitting right with me. No, this is when you told me what you're saying, I was like, ⁓ hell yeah. Today we are gonna talk about giants. Dun dun dun dun dun dun. ⁓ so there's a lot of information out there, quote unquote information about giants, what they are, where they came from. Were they always here? Are they from another dimension? Are they biblical? Are they whatever? Mm-hmm. And there are ⁓ records, can you say? Records talk of giants or giant like beings, humanoids, for censure I mean the the epic of Gilgamesh, which we've talked about before, that had the zombies in it, the revenants in it. Yeah. That talked about zombies. It's in the Bible. It's like giants. Yeah. Everywhere. I mean, it's in all Ancient it's lore and and it's probably because of social media, but things have been popping up lately because of the giants. Especially and I don't feel like it's much as right now, but in the last several years there's been a lot about giants. So in the Bible, it's called ⁓ she's fixing my mic, you guys. It just keeps going red. I'm talking too loud. That's never me. Well, it's not normally, but I just I want it there, but is that better? Yeah, it was also blowing out one of my eardrums, so I was like, this is too loud. Fair enough. Is that better? Yeah, that's better. Check it As long as it's not going all the way like you can see this thing. You see? ⁓ I see. I couldn't see it. Yes. That's you keep going red. Do you see? So do we need to pull you back even further? Like it's every time you talk every too much. Well almost. I'm like watching it, I'm like, ooh, you're gonna blow out everyone's ears. Okay. So in the Bible we have word a word called the Nephilim, and I'm sure everybody has heard it by now. If you're in this world, you hear it. And the Hebrew root of the word means to fall. So some interpretations of the Nephilim are the fallen ones, those who have fallen or those who cause others to fall. Now it is important that the b that we say that the Bible never explicitly defines what the Nephilim is, but there's a lot of stories surrounding it. Okay. So there's some that say that it is like the fallen angels came down and mated with women. Okay. And that offspring are the Nephilim. Obviously it's the woman's fault. Obviously. Obviously. We know this. ⁓ so what if a lot of what people think they know about the Nephilim comes from later Jewish can traditions like the like the book of Enoch and Genesis and they kind of talk about the Nephilim and they talk about the fallen angels, they talk about how they were of great stature. It doesn't actually say giant, but you can kind of infer with what they say. ⁓ then in Genesis there's a passage immediately before the flood that said the sons of God, quote sons of God, took wives from the daughters of men, and that's where the Nephilim came from. So it doesn't talk about fallen angels, it just says angels took up wives of men and created the Nephilim. Okay. And it was very common belief that the Nephilim existed in those days, and sometimes they were called the heroes of old or men of the renowned. Mm. Mm-hmm. So sons of God, were they angels? Were they demons? Were they because the fallen angels are supposed to be, you know how we talked about the hosts of heaven and a third went and followed the Satan and became demons? Yep. Could that be demons? Possibly. I feel like that makes sense. Mm-hmm. And was it giants metaphorically or literally or both? Well, isn't well, who's the giant in the ⁓ Bible? What Goliath? Goliath, yeah, David and Goliath, yeah. But he was supposed to be just a like a huge man. Yeah. I guess. I'm just saying it's still in there. I wasn't there. Me either. Something about that drink tastes so familiar. Does it? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It just tastes like heaven. That's it's just refreshing and delicious. It is refreshing. I feel like we should be sitting on a beach somewhere. We should be. Or on the redneck. Yeah, we should be on the redneck. That's we should be doing. Mm-hmm. So the in the Book of Enoch, a group of rebel rebellious angels called the Watchers came down to Earth. They violated divine boundaries by taking human wives. And they taught forbidden knowledge to humanity. Okay. So this is like where they they were teaching like right from wrong. They were teaching like stuff of the stars and mapping and stuff like that. And this says that their offspring became giant and destructive beings known as the Nephilim. The Watchers are said to corrupt humanity and the Nephilim spread violence and chaos. And it's said that their actions actually contributed to the world's moral collapse before the flood. And it's because of them that the f that God sent the flood. Wow. Okay. So there's there's that. Why, 'cause they were studying the stars. Yeah. Mhm. It's that that that spooky witchy stuff. Yeah, by like setting just like stars that are like there. Uh-huh. That allegedly God created. It was so weird. ⁓ huh. Uh-huh. Such a weird take to like turn something like the like stars evil. Right. Like the universe that you that God created things. If you believe that God created everything, wouldn't you believe that then he he created literally everything? Everything. Everything. So if that is your belief, like then he created the evil too. And then he he yeah. He did. And then but so why are you? But then we're gonna punish you for the evil. Horrible to like watch what the stars do and associate it with or or on that vein use plants as healing. It's just insane to me. It's just wild. It's like such a like how like the lot the lack of logical thinking is what I think always bothers me that like you just take it, ⁓ well, but God said it, so you know My FYP has been blowing up with that this shit lately. Is because Black Witch Yes. I've almost said her to you. ⁓ my God. I've watched every time I see her. It's where she's like in a a debate with all Christians. Mm-hmm. ⁓ and she's like wonderful. She was raised. I want to be friends with her. She was raised evangelical Christian, so she has a really good like you know, understanding of everything. And the she just when the things that she says, she's so knowledgeable. I'm she doesn't falter. Doesn't falter and she like it she has a answer to everything and like a Or can back herself up. And can back herself up, which none of them can do. Yeah. I also follow, ⁓ her name's Monty. I you've recognized her. She has long, beautiful fingernails, she has reddish hair. She was an evangelical Christian and kind of left it. Not kind of she did, she left it and she knows the Bible inside and out. And she kind of does a very similar thing. Yeah. And so a lot of theologians kind of reject this angelic interpretation, this interpretation that they came from gods. And they say that the sons of gods were actually descendants of Seth and the daughters of men, obviously, are the descendants of Cain. Because we are evil. Yes. Right? And so the Nephilim resulted from intermingling between the righteous line, the the the sons, uh-huh, and the corrupted line, which would be Ladies. Us and our whorish selves. We really need to get ourselves under control. Just out here. And you know, like our sons are just out there causing a ⁓ like amuck. Yeah, but they're they're not the ones who No, it's still our fault. It's still our We're so naughty. Saying to my daughter, ⁓ she sometimes, my oldest daughter, will just say whatever just to just to see what happens. Uh-huh. And I was like, dude, you can't do that around family. Like you can't do that around around like grandpa or something and or around like my aunts and uncles. I'm really worried about her around her her dad's family. Yeah. ⁓ but she goes, What happens if I just said this, this, and this around your aunt? And my my husband goes, It'll be your mom's fault. I'm like, Yes Honestly. That is accurate. Your sins. Yep, your sins. It's here. It's you, it's all you. ⁓ God. Story of my life. Yeah. It's all of our lives. ⁓ so this is like theologians probably prefer this because then it avoids angels physically reproducing with humans because that kind of puts a damper on things. If angels are like these, you know and ⁓ angelic, obviously, but like otherworldly things that can mate with humans, that kind of r adds too much to the storyline. There's too much to interpret there. So this c story kind of treats it as humans were disobedient and created the Nephilim, which are the giants. And so giants typically tend to be destructive and evil and bad things. ⁓ some scholars suggest that the Ne Nephilim were powerful rulers, ⁓ like tyrants, kings, warriors, and heroes, legendary heroes like I don't know, Hercules. I was about to Hercules, Hercules, Hercules. Cut each other off. What did my husband say to you that set you off the other day? I can't remember, but he said something and you were like, God damn it, Tex. Like we were up at camp or doing something and he said something and it just got you going. He knows. He does know. ⁓ there's some cultures that say that they are semi-divine heroes. Again, like Hercules. Uh-huh. So powerful rulers with a divine ancestry. And Genesis kind of hints to this. And kind of hints more to describing that than literal giants, but we've kind of interpreted them to mean giants. So the strongest connection to the Nephilim being giants is Numbers thirteen. Numbers is a book in the Bible. Got it. Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers, Deuteronomy. ⁓ geez, I didn't know. That's that's as far as I can go. Good for you. I remember the song. ⁓ so the Israelite spies report seeing descendants of the Nephilim in Canaan and the S the spies describe themselves as appearing like grasshoppers compared to these people. Wow. So they could have been seeing another race of humans and just described they were they were giants. So they described them as that. Like there are certain cultures that are shorter people, not cultures, but like people, races. That are shorter and smaller and some thousand percent a lot taller. And it's just the whole like how their whole society is that way. It's like how when people like see a tall woman, they're like, she's an Amazonian woman, like a tall, very tall, like yeah. ⁓ I wish if I had that build. Oof. I'm ⁓ I don't wanna be tall. You don't wanna be tall? ⁓ I'm happy. Five foot five, I'm good. I'm five seven. Yeah, I have no desire to be any taller. I feel like that's just inconvenient in life. You know? Who's that ⁓ that ⁓ she was in the Wednesday. She's like very she would be described as an Amazon woman. She's like six three or something like that. That's like Jenna's my best friend. She's six foot. Like she's tall. And I think ⁓ like nothing against it. I just feel like finding clothes that are long enough, finding a man, finding a little man. If you care about that. Some people like shorter men. I would never I no. I that's I'm I mean you do you boo, but I want to be a little shorter. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. sorry, we were just we were ogling the dog and catching I have no children home. And so yeah, my dog Jandice and my cat Poppy are in here, like because I left the garage door open so they could come lay down. They're litty. And they're snuggling together. Which watch Jandice will get mad at her in a minute. She doesn't like to snuggle with her. Janice's tail is down. ⁓ Look, she moved herself. She's but see Poppy just went to snuggles. And Poppy like scooted. She's getting so fat. Poppy, not Jandis. Janice won on a diet. A biblical archaeology society article discussed how the Nephilim are often linked to a group called the Refame. And this is a group associated with giants. And it is they say that giants are dead ancestral figures that were elevated to this godlike state in the next life. So this puts them as I don't know if you want to call that supernatural beings. If you if you Yeah. Like ghosts are supernatural beings. And so these are the dead and they have been kind of given this status of the Nephilim. Mm-hmm. So we have a couple of examples. We have Og, Anakim, and Goliath. All of those are examples in biblical or historical contexts or mythology where these are allegedly real people who are giants. Mm-hmm. And they're usually defeated by Israel or Israel's champions. And so that kind that narrative kind of puts it into that hero. Uh-huh. You know what I mean? Mm-hmm. So, like I was saying before, that there are some people that think that the Nephilim caused the flood because the giant hybrids, the human and angel or hum or whatever, it's our fault. It's women's fault. It's always those hybrids ⁓ corrupted the earth so much that God caused the flood. Damn. Even though with that vein, God allowed them to be able to reproduce with humans, which created the Nephilim. It just there's a lot of contradictions. I'm just saying A lot of it doesn't make sense, but in my head. But that's just me, maybe. So but there's there's also contradictions in that in that because Genesis does not explicit explicitly condemn the Nephilim and Genesis six four it describes them positively as heroes and men of the renown. So like which way? Yeah. Which way does it go? But this is not the only society that has the Nephilim or these giant people. If they're found all over society, all throughout history, sometimes they're heroes born of God, sometimes they're warrior kings, and sometimes they're they're like primordial beings, like leftover beings that kind of stayed around. But I would I would argue that that's what it is now. Because the giants that we hear about now are kind of like these leftover ancient beings that just exist. That just exists. Which that to me is my more like obviously That's what I believe. They just were amongst us. Also could like maybe they're not actually aliens, but are they or are they aliens? Or are they and are they like what helped us build our pyramids? Are they you know like in just this could connect back to ⁓ the Orcas Island aliens. The the Nordic aliens because they're supposed to be large in stature. Well, I mean like tall not large, but like tall and slender. But to some people that could look like a giant. Yeah. But I feel like when we talk about the Nephilim or these Biblical giants, we think of like croc. Yeah. You know? Yeah like big and gross and burly. Feet fi faux fum. I don't think I've heard much about lady giants. I've never heard anything about a lady giant. So it's a man. So it's men's men did the bad thing and women get blamed. But wouldn't men want a lady giant? Like could you imagine those big boobies bouncing around them? They just love that. And you would break a human woman. Yeah. Right? Yep. Because they're reproducing somehow. Ooh. Don't think too hard. I won't, but also what the No, now you said it. I can't now stop. Anyways, c continue. So then we have the argument that what if these are real humans and they have giganticism? 'Cause that is a real thing. Right. And it is most extreme human height results from this medical condition called gigantic giganticism. And it causes excessive growth hormone production. It's like a pituitary gland. Uh-huh. Like d malfunction. And we have record of people being seven, eight feet tall who have this giganticism. But and I think that is something that is there. But I feel like when we talk about giants, even like on social media, whatever, we're not talking about eight feet tall. We're talking no, I think we're talking like thirty. Twenty, thirty feet tall, right? ⁓ I would say like twelve to fifteen feet tall. I mean unless you were thinking of like Jack and the Beanstalk type giant. I guess I don't know. I guess I don't really know. I just know they're they're really fucking tall. They're like really tall. I guess I know other beings that are twelve to fifteen feet tall. Hmm. We'll get there. Okay. We'll get there. But the tallest person on record was eight feet eleven inches. That's pretty goddamn tall. That's pretty tall. Yeah. I mean, can you imagine a almost nine foot human standing in front of us? No. One of my friends, her husband is six foot ten, I think. He's freaking tall. And he's tall. Yeah. Like literally. One of the tallest humans I've ever met. I did a video on TikTok a while ago and it was my husband took the video of me and it's from his perspective like looking down on me and I like saw it and he then he kept recording me and I was like, This is how you see me because it's such a weird perspective to like look down. And my friend's husband commented and he goes, Yeah, this is how I feel when I look at text ⁓ But he is so much taller than him. He's a tall dude. I was like, that's a good one. That's true. Ooh. But we're not just talking tall here. Like when we think about a giant, everything is Big. Well, because when you see the people with giganticism, they are like a lot of times I've seen like they can be gangly. Very yeah. Yeah. There's a few that aren't, but like they're taller than. Then you have Andre the Giant. Yeah. Like, you know. And he's more proportioned but big, but then yeah, I don't know. You know, different. I don't know. But even Andre the Giant is not like a gi I mean, he is. Yeah, he's big, but he's not that big. But he's not that big. I mean he's pretty big. He's not somebody that I would look at and be ⁓ this is where the story of giants came from. No. ⁓ But when you're talking about ancient times and people who are spying on other civilizations. And ⁓ we defeated them. Right. If there were a bunch of them at the time. Like and ev everyone had giganticism. Like ⁓ like in this one town, this one thing, and then, you know, now they're all gone and that's Yeah. That's an option. Yeah. I don't know. Hm. So that that's kind of like a very brief history of where giants come from, where the Nephilim comes from. T so we have religion, we have mythology, we have archaeology, we have conspiracy theories, we have ancient like mysteries, and we have some supernatural speculation. This kind of checks every box literally things that we talk about. Yeah. Now there are claims that we have found giant skeletons, which I've seen those. look watch Ancient Aliens, which is my favorite Sunday morning show. Yeah. And they talk about how there's been stuff found that could it be linked to aliens because it is so different than human. Right. But still humanoid. Right. So could it could be. I think of not not flat Earth. What is it? ⁓ that's where my head goes right away. The Antarctica. The Antarctica stuff, when you go beyond the ice wall, yeah. That's what I think of. Like, are they from Pinji No, it wasn't Pangy, no. Ugh. It's gonna drive me nuts. I know we just talked about it. Yeah. My brain But where there's the ice wall and then beyond the ice wall, there's all these like the land of giants. The land of this. Land of giants, land of Bigfoot, the the ones that are just the torso with their eyeballs on their chest. That's a little weird. Dragons? It reminds me yeah, dragons. Leprechauns. Leprechauns. The fairies. Fairies are still here. ⁓ at the Celtic concert I went to last night, they had like the they talked about fairies in Ireland and how the fairies are to be respected. Yeah. They are not the fun little things that, you know, we we have here. And they talked about kind of how the history of Halloween started over there. ⁓ fine. And where like you had to trick the fairies and now it turned into Halloween 'cause you would like put masks on to confuse the fairies. And then they put these like ⁓ stag masks on and did a song. It was really cool. That was really cool. That was cool. I mean, up until the homeless person came over and tried twerking on my my favorite kindergarten teacher and I. And then also, didn't you see a homeless person relieving himself? Yeah, we were gonna go one way and then ⁓ he re he just popped a squat and not pee, guys. No. No. So we we rerouted. Mm-hmm. We went back and around. Mm-hmm. I mean, Seattle is a special place. I will say. It's better than it used to be. I was gonna say, I was just in Seattle with a friend from college and they were just raving about how nice it was and how there was no really helpful. And I was like, nah, it's because they got rid of them all for the World Cup. Yeah. They did something with them. Don't know where they went. I d well, they're back. ⁓ yeah. Well they're back and he was here right when it was had just finished. So, you know, it was Uh-huh. Cut. Okay, every time I sniff that, I feel like I'm sniffing a little bit of like weed. Do you s do you get that? No. No? Mm mm. Like every time I hmm. But That's weird. I thought Tex was done. I don't fucking know what's going on. He's waiting for somebody for something, but like what time do you have to get her? Well she has to be picked up by five, but like every time we pick her up late, she's very like or at five, she's very upset because people go home before five, so she's the last one there. Only one day this week. But I just it's like can he just like what the fuck do you have to wait for them? What's going on? Like he's worked every single fucking night this week. Like, is there not a night? One night. One night. I'm having a fucking attitude on He didn't have to do anything. It's just automatically like that when he called, apparently that was like he the guy like was just put it in motion so now it's done. Good. Have you gotten a paycheck yet? No, because it won't start until like it's for this month is when it starts. So it'll won't be to September, so we'll see. But but we're already on the higher tax bracket. I when you guys said that I was like, Jeez, how much more are we gonna get taxed? Or it's only three more percent. ⁓ Then 'cause we're already And it's only up until that threshold. ⁓ it's only everything over that threshold. Yeah, 'cause we're already there because of ⁓ par like me. Yeah. And well him he still makes decent money, but unless you're making like half a million dollars a year, I wouldn't worry. We're not. Yeah. Well yet, maybe. Someday. And cut back in. All right, I had to get us we are doing a second cider. Well, that one was just one that we split in half. Yeah, we're just splitting them too. ⁓ this is the same brand. The pair that's delicious. It's just so fine. It's so good. Okay, so giants are found in nearly every civiliz civilization. Ancient Near East, we have the Nephilim, the Rephium, the Anakin, Anakim, not Anakin, Skywalker. No, that is a different story. Uh-huh. ⁓ Og of Bashan, Goliath, and Gibberum, which is also known as the mighty ones. And those are more all biblical. In Greek mythology, you have the Titans, the Cyclops, giants portrayed as primordial primordial. primordial beings who challenge divine authority, they're always kind of bad. Yeah, they're not there's not a good connotation with them. Yeah. But it makes me wonder too that like they tell us that they're bad. Does that mean they're actually good? I I wonder that too, because like I I've said this before, as a kid, I always felt bad for Satan 'cause I felt like he was a scapegoat. I mean But doesn't he thought I was gonna go to hell? Carrying out the punishment of like what? ⁓ speaking of Satan, I got a book for you to read. It's not Satan, it's death. ⁓ Crown Crown Me Dead. It's a two book. Crown Me Dead and Crown Me Something. That's the books that I read when we were at the beach. So freaking good. Okay. I I just finished a book today that I I told I was reading it. It like then wasn't it just it finished and ⁓ everyone had said, ⁓ it changed my life. It was the best book I ever read. It was I like I sobbed, I this and I was like. ⁓ I sobbed in the I was like, When did you sob? What I was like, what there was nothing in it that like what book was it? It's called The Red Tent. ⁓ It was good. Like it was like it was okay. It was okay, but it was like I was it ready for this like earth shattering story and like something that would change my life. L literally nothing about it changed my life. Just one of the main characters' name was Leia, which is my child's name, so it was just fucking weird. 'Cause then they would talk about things and I'm like, Dah, that's my kid. Don't say that. That's my kid. No, but you need to read Crown Me Dead. It's two books. I forget what the second one's called. I I did sob with that one. I'm in I I trust you. I mean and Carrie told me about it. Yeah. Like so she and I have the same book taste, so. ⁓ so yes. so and then there's the Gigantomaki. Gigantomachi, that's a weird word. Which depicts a war between giants and Olympian gods. So it's very us versus them, good versus evil. That's kind of the the vibe. In North North North Norm Norse ⁓ I've had half a side of you guys. This is just me being tongue twisted. Yeah, I'm like, what what what I don't know? Help me. ⁓ my god. ⁓ you have the Norse mythology. You have the Jotner, which is giants, frost giants, Ymir, which is the primordial giant whose body became the world. Mm-hmm. ⁓ Celtic traditions, you have Fion Mac Comhale. Comhale. Stop it! Idiot. What? What? ⁓ Giants Causeway legend, Giants credited with shaping the landscape. In Native American tradition, you have giant cannibals. Terrifying. That is terrifying. They're like little chicken wings. Well, they would just eat you. Just eat you. Isn't that kind of like Fi Fi Fo Fum? Doesn't he just eat the Phoebe? Yeah. Yeah. All I think of whenever I see the little mozzarella balls, I think of the ⁓ the James and James and the Nope, not James and the Giant Pete's. Jack and the Beanstalk. But the Disney one where like Donald Duck and Mickey go up. ⁓ it's be five, four, five. But then Donald Duck is like hiding on the table and he's a little mozzarella ball. His butt's a little mozzarella. ⁓ my god, I forgot about that. That's so funny, yeah. Every time I eat mozzarella. Yeah. Well Same, same. Isn't that funny how these things as a kid that just stayed? Stick in your head. That's funny. Nat ⁓ Native American tradition also has wild giant beings, ancient races of oversized humans, and wilderness creatures larger than normal humans. Which that I but I believe Well there it ⁓ we know that there used to be things like a giant sloth. That is prove at least things were it's just it makes me feel like they are hiding it from us for a reason, but like what is the reason? Unless it is it's like the biblical or the biblical, but you know what I What do you mean? No, like like important for morality. Well, for morality, or they are beings that could assist us in life in a positive way for us not being under the thumb of Do you know what I'm saying? And that's like it's why like it just reminds me of this. I just watched a video of a kid with cerebral palsy ⁓ in with dolphins, and they are saying that like dolphins echo whatever can actually like help heal like the cells in their body for like big It's like a sound frequencies. Yeah, and it's just but you know, you're not allowed to interact with dolphins in the wild. You're not allowed to snuck them. And it's like one of those things. It just makes you wonder. Mm-hmm. It makes you wonder like why are they keeping things h so hidden? Yeah. Like that could actually be beneficial to us, but we know that 'cause then if they help us then they can't have all of our monies and then Right. In control and power and blah blah blah blah blah. Anyways. So a lot of people think that throughout history giant skeletons were being found. Some say that maybe those are mammoth bones, mastodon bones, or prehistoric fossils. Which I could see that. But then when we talked about the moon eyed people, remember they found giant bones in the mountains in Utah with the red hair. Yep. So there are like historical ⁓ records of giant bones being found. Now Giant as in it's a human and they're just much larger humans. We do know there are like Native American tribes who the average height was well over six feet tall. ⁓ yeah. Just like we have ⁓ civilizations like what is it, Indonesia, where they're very short stature. That's just how it is. Yeah. ⁓ Saint Augustine described finding an enormous tooth and interpreted that as belonging to a giant. Okay. ⁓ the medieval belief is that giants inhabited the earth before humans and megalithic structures were built by the giants, which were the un unusual rock formations, think Stonehenge. Yes. You know, things like that, which if you think about Stonehenge, if you think about the pyramids, right all of these different things, it would make more sense if there were these giant beings. And not just like humans figuring out how to And then forgetting all of the information and knowledge. Yeah, and then us not knowing how they put them together. It's very weird. And that kind of to me leads me back to aliens. Could we be talking about one and the same? That's well, I have ⁓ example of that whenever we get around to whatever that is. ⁓ the nineteenth century saw huge public interest in giant skeleton discoveries. ⁓ newspapers frequently reported giant bones, burial burial sites, mummies, and skeletons in Native American nouns, like the one out in Utah. Some say that this was misidentified or exaggerated, but it still was making the realms. One of the most famous hoaxes in American history was the giant stone man that was d supposedly discovered in a burial ground. So that once things start getting and it same thing happens on social media. ⁓ yeah. But this was just in the nineteenth century, so it was through the papers. Yep. Hoaxes started popping up. Yeah. And that really sullies the water because then the truth is buried with myth and hoax, which that's where conspiracy theories come from, because there's a little bit of truth there, but then guess who ruins it? People. We do. Well, it's the woman's fault. It's always our fault. One of the most persistent giant theories claims that the misto myth Smithmobia baby woman That was a good one. The Smithsonian found giant skeletons and thousands of giant bones were displayed, but then the government came in and stopped. It's like you can't do that. You cannot have that. For what reason? For what reason? And that's a lot of that is when, ⁓ that's a hoax. The Smithsonian. The Smithsonian I feel like someone has turned the word hoax into a hoax because anytime he says it's hoax, it means it's fact. Do you know what I'm saying? Everything. He says it's a hoax. ⁓ it's a hoax. It's a hoax. No, you're a fucking hoax. So not one scientific body. Acknowledges giants. They acknowledge giganticism in humans, but they don't acknowledge giants. And so when there is evidence found, they don't really have much to say about it. Now, modern like belief, but this also goes back to ancient Native American and it's in belief all over the world. There's a giant being That is like around ten feet tall, covered in hair, massive build, human like appearance, extraordinary strength, bipedal movement. Who is it, Reiner? This will be the Sasquatch. This will be the Sasquatch. Mr. Bigfoot himself. Mr. Bigfoot's. And so that kind of brings in that more ⁓ paranormal element to it. Right. And that kind of removes the humanoid the human from it, which removes the biblical part of it all. And like it wasn't my fault, y'all. But What do you think about that? I mean, I think that that's definitely a possibility, but I do I think that they're both things. I think they both exist. You think they both exist. So you think that Bigfoot or Sasquatch is different from the Nephilim or Giants? Absolutely, yes. But what if they are from the same like mm lineage area area? Like we believe that ⁓ Bigfoot is an interdimensional being cross. Could giants be Abs ⁓ that's what I think. A thousand percent. They kind of come from I obviously where we live, Bigfoot is a lot more common talked about. Commonly talked about. Like there we got Bigfoot stuff everywhere. We don't have a lot of giant stuff. No, there's j not giant stuff anywhere. But could it be the same? Absolutely could be the same. I there is ⁓ what are you getting into next before I go with what I'm gonna say? Where we at? Just modern encounters. Okay. Well, it might be you might have this one covered. Because there's this guy that was on TikTok that allegedly like he recorded a giant, a whole thing, and then he supposedly just went missing. And no one ever heard talking about that again. Really? And I wanna look at it because it was such like See if you can find it. Yeah, I will. So the Bigfoot Field Research Organization, which is it independently records Sasquatch like sightings and stuff like that, they also kind of loop in with Giants. Okay. So they are very aware of the giant lore, the giant legends and history. And when I say giants and Nephilim, I'm kind of using that interchangeably. It's just because the Nephilim is where the record is. Right. Like that makes sense. Is where the record is. And then we just call ⁓ giants because they're big. That's what we do. Yep. So there was there have been some giant encounters in modern day They all kind of have the same thing. They're not quite as big as what you were saying, but I do know what you're talking about. Like you see him walking up the side of the mountain or whatever. Like this guy. This is it. So ⁓ I've seen this. Yeah. So this is Andrew Dawson and he was I mean, it looks like he's in the like southwest. ⁓ no. ⁓ I wanna say he was there's a mountain with none. No, he's in British Columbia. Yeah, I was gonna say Alaska, but he's British Columbia. ⁓ there's no trees. And ⁓ well 'cause he's on the very top of mountain it was snow. ⁓ it was snow. If you look at it. I do remember when this happened. ⁓ yes. And so he there's this fucking top of a mountain. And he's zooming in from very, very far away and it's it's moving you can see it. And it's moving like walking on two legs. It's moving up the mountain. So was this a whole series that he did? Well, yeah, and then he just disappeared. Like he literally just disappeared. He ⁓ he died. ⁓ he died. He died. How did he die? ⁓ I don't remember. Hang on, I just wanna see. But that the I mean that goes back to the people that are like the scientists working for the government that have like the twenty something scientists that have all gone missing or died? Mm-hmm. Take out people who are getting close to something. Yeah. But then why didn't they wipe out his social media stuff? Or or have they have they like Not corrupted, but have they put forth the ⁓ it's a conspiracy, you're a quack, you're this, you're that. Yeah. You know, have they downplayed people enough to where no one's gonna believe them? But that's what we know that. Because that's what they've literally come out and said they did. There's also another one of a guy this one. This guy in this is in Oregon. ⁓ I've seen this one. Yeah, and this one So it's the side of a mountain and it literally looks like there's a door into the mountain. Yeah, and he claimed he saw something and then I don't know, there was I don't remember what happened with this guy, but anyways There's a few On social media, which Yeah. I know. Social media you can do anything. Literally, we know. Grain of salt, you can literally do anything. Like there's this there's this guy that I followed for a little while who had ⁓ videos of mermaids and you can like hear them. Right. Right. And then you find out later, ⁓ that's just a part of the ship that he's making it look like a mermaid. They're mermaids. Yeah. It's like when I pour vodka into my drink, sometimes it's just water. But it's true because I don't drink every fucking day. I die. You would die. I don't You would die. It's a waste of vodka. It's a waste of vodka. And so sometimes I don't put alcohol in it. I know it works. I'm giving you the recipe. Just sometimes it's that she hasn't done it before. No. Plenty of times. It's just sometimes just for the video, it doesn't. If I make a reaction, it's always the real thing because I don't fake that part, but the winky eye. Yeah, that's unfortunate. My glass eye just comes out. Yeah. Totally. ⁓ so with all of these sightings, A lot of things are very similar throughout the world. They're like ten to twelve feet tall, towering above their vehicle or above like the brush. ⁓ they can reach up into trees. So not like gigantic, like 30 feet tall, but big. They have human faces, broad shoulders, human eyes, and human like hands. They say that people who have witnessed them h feel an overwhelming fear, paralysis, and a s sense of the being being highly intelligent. That to me goes more into the paranormal, the UFO realm. Mm-hmm. More than anything. That feeling of dread. Do you remember when that ⁓ alien thing happened at that mall in Miami? Mm-hmm. That could be giants. Well, they said they were saying they were huge. They were saying they were like fifteen, twenty feet tall. So at with that, that goes more into which that's where mine mine goes less to the bigfoot, more towards alien realms. Bigfoot could be an alien. Well, it could be, and that's like I mean, it's all All tied together in my professional opinion, but you know. So in in our world, giants represent chaos, like bad things, power, ancient beings, and the unknown. Could that be just humans putting that into a being? A thousand percent. All these things that we like we have no proof. We think we find proof, but it could be, you know The Smithsonian put it out and then it was a hoax. Shut up. Shut up. Shut the fuck up. I actually trust the Smithsonian. I do too. maybe they were just exaggerated, really tall people. That could in some circumstances I could see that being being a thing. Or are they lost humans? Could be. Could they be? I mean, there was also the World's Fair, remember? Yeah. They said there were giants there. There was like how they helped. They helped do build some of that ⁓ cut. I didn't put in the I was like piecing things together and I didn't put in the ⁓ How much more do you have? No, I'm just going into Okay. You have to go? Yeah. Okay, so there was a couple of Reddit stories about giants. It was actually really hard to find. Mm-hmm. Because a lot of them you read through and you're like, hmm. Okay. ⁓ but there's this one from Eleven Rune Lord, and it says, I posted this on another another sub, so I figured I'd put it here. Do you believe in giants? I did not until this all happened to me. Back when I was a teenager there was a girl I snuck out with at night to see just about every night. Neither of our families like the other, so it was the only way we could see each other. Irrelevant. ⁓ anyways, we generally met in a parking lot that was about halfway between our houses. The night we met up and hung out for a while, it started to get really foggy. The fog was coming in from her way and it was very thick that you could not see through it. This is something that happens. I was just at the beach, this happened literally in ten minutes this can happen. It rolls in. Mm hmm. Excuse me. ⁓ so we walked back to my house and got in my mom's car. On the road to my house there was a church and it had tall street lights. We looked back and saw a shadow cross the light, but it was so fouly that we could not tell what it was. Whatever it was, it was big. Tall, ver very tall, tall, very tall two. That's the how you say that, ⁓ huh. Okay. As the street as tall as the street light, I think is what he's trying to say. So thirty feet in the air. I don't think a street light is thirty feet in the air. But I have no idea. That's He's saying it was as tall as the street light. Okay. Pretty fucking tall. ⁓ we got to my mom's ho ⁓ we got in my mom's car. We got out of my mom's car because neither of us wanted to risk waking my parents up. A few minutes later, the fog started coming around the car the curve and started down the hill. I remember wondering how fog could follow a road and not just cover everything as it advanced. In time it did cover everything up, though, and a About that time the ground started shaking like it was a mild earthquake. The shaking got more intense as the fog got thicker. A couple of minutes later we saw a huge leg pass by the car that we were sitting in, and whatever was attached to it kept walking down the road, covered by fog the whole time. A few minutes later the shaking stopped and the fog passed ⁓ passed us by, although I could see the tail end of the fog moving into the forest that was at the bottom of the hill on the dead end road I lived on. We looked at each other questioning what had just happened to us, neither of us quite believed our eyes, but being too smart to disregard what we had just experienced. I let her stay in my room that night, mhm. Until the sun started to come up and walked her back home. I do not believe in giants, but I cannot explain this. Yeah. That's a good one. I like that story because it does have that paranormal element, but it also comes with something that we don't really see. Like you can't explain that as just a really tall person. No, not at all. And that's I mean and I that to me is like the biggest thing with that alien Miami mall alien thing, which I do think something there were so many people who saw stuff. Like everyone just made something up in their heads. Everyone did. And now it's all gone. Now it's just gone. They don't talk about it. Nobody talks about it. No, I nobody has any And I truly think that like it whether it was like what we think is a giant or large aliens or whatever, it was something. ⁓ And then this other Yeah. So there there's some other people in the comments that say that in Alaska and Montana and Idaho, you can see giants that are twenty two to twenty eight feet tall. People know that they're there. They generally live in caves. They live in pairs of twos. They come out when they need this, that, or the other thing. But yeah. They wow, live in pairs of twos. Pairs of twos up in the mountains. I mean, but in Alaska, anything can be up there. Same with Bontana. Literally. Anything can be up there. There's so much land and so much space and up in Canada too. Like there's like parts that are ⁓ Canada. Middle of Australia too. ⁓ I bet there's lots of giants there. I did see a story about Australia, but it was kind of a little unbelievable. So I don't know. Understandable. Yeah. You know. But anyway, that's giants. Well shit. Well shit. Well, I still think they're real. I think they're real. I think there's something to do with them. I don't think they're evil, but I just think that if there's a reason why we're not supposed to know about ⁓ and why ⁓ they're presented to us as evil. That is my like, if they're presented as evil, I'm more likely to believe that they're not evil. Yes. If we're being told that, I'm like, Being told that or being so like, ⁓ it's not real. Yeah. I don't think fairies are evil though. I don't think they're evil. I think they just are ⁓ I don't think they're either. Yeah. Just think that they don't like us and they fucking don't fuck with them. Don't fuck with them. Yeah. They know what they like. I love my fairies though. I know. Yeah. You get you give your wand the wand to the nice to me. Yeah, they are. I'll come hang out in your backyard with your fairies, but I won't talk to them. Perfect. I'll let them just be. They exist. Let me know if you guys have ever had an experience with giants or if you have a theory on giants. I feel like that's a very rare one to hear about. Like like you said, that's not something we hear about. It was hard to get a lot of information. That's why most of it is biblical, because that's literally all the information that we have. Yeah. But I do think that they're real there's so many things that have been talked about or like seen or whatever that are or in our history like not just social media. That's what I like about this one. Not just social media. If there's just a lot that I feel like could explain them. Yeah. Damn. Well shit. Well you guys, why don't you guys ⁓ make sure you go and get yourself some lunatic soup? And remember, in this crazy world, it's good to be a lunatic. Bye. Bye.
