The Human Meat Conspiracy Theory

So they did this big investigation because of these reports they started getting about people in other countries saying we're reviewing footage from these Because then we can see everything people are doing what so here that whenever you ask yeah, yes. Yeah, so this

Shane's camera, one take, one marker. Sandy and Jared's camera, one take, one marker.

I'm nervous.

Chris's camera, one take, one marker.

Spencer's camera, one take, one marker.

Ryland's camera, one take, one marker. You guys ready?

Yeah.

Here we go.

The interrogation begins. Rylan's camera won't take one marker.

You guys ready?

Oh yeah.

Here we go.

The interrogation room.

Hey, what's up you guys?

Okay, well, should I be more serious?

I think you should leave that in.

That's it. It just comes out naturally.

Who are we without the old set?

This is going to be very different. I am so excited about this.

I know. Who are we without the old set? This is going to be very different. I am so excited about this. I know. If you're just clicking on this and you're very confused why it looks like a Netflix documentary about people who escaped a cult.

Mission accomplished.

We're halfway there.

So I've seen a lot of comments. You guys want a conspiracy only podcast. I've seen that actually for a couple years now, but you know what? I never thought I would want to do that because I've always been nervous to talk about some conspiracies the last few years, mainly because, well, 2020, uh, things. And a few weeks ago, we did an episode where we talked about the files and we talked about our opinions on it. We kind of had more

of a real conversation and it wasn't, it wasn't so, you know, podcasty, I guess, or we weren't performing too much. And I really enjoyed it. And I felt like it was really fun to do that. And we haven't done that in a long time. So it kind of inspired me to try this.

So I was like, you know what? Let's do a podcast where we're all sitting around a table so we can have our drinks, we can have our laptops, we could really get into it and let's do an all conspiracy episode, see how it goes. Maybe you guys will hate it, I don't know. But I want to dive a little deeper and I usually cut things out that are a little, I could get in trouble for this or whatever, but I want to try not to do that this time because I feel like as the years go on and more conspiracies turn out to just be true, it's worth just talking about stuff, right?

Yeah, just so much closer. It feels so intimate.

I can literally like touch your hand. Literally! Okay, so I just want to jump into something right away because I walked into the office this week. Oh, so also to explain, if you see a ghost in the background, it's not actually a ghost.

Although maybe it is, because I've been feeling some shit lately in this office. So the last two weeks, we've also been filming a reality show. I mean, that's what we kind of jokingly called it. So Sal, if you guys don't know, over on the Patreon,

this is not a plug, but over on the Patreon we've been documenting the process of getting our pilot made and Sal has flown out a couple times for that. So he flew back out because we were doing post-production, so like color, sound, score, all of that. So he's been filming that, but during that I was like, oh maybe just film a couple weeks in our lives. So yeah, Sal's been filming all of that. So you'll see him, he's been filming this whole like I'm gonna be very honest I've also been a little like I need a switch up for this podcast to kind of like re-inspire me I don't know how you guys are feeling but I feel like we've been doing it now for like four years and I love it it's one of my favorite things I've ever done but I'm like we need to do something

to switch it up and maybe this could be the start of trying some new things and like, I don't know. So Sal's been documenting that whole thing, which, so yeah, if you see, he'll be floating around in the background filming this for our, whatever that's gonna be, reality show?

Yeah, Real House Husbands of Calabasas, I think.

Yes.

So that brings me to the other day. So I walk into the office and we're trying to figure out a video for the second channel like a conspiracy van video What are we gonna do? We've kind of literally done everything I mean, although I do have an idea we're gonna talk about later involving McDonald's eating people which They don't I don't think so I was like, oh, what are we gonna do? And then as I'm coming to the office the whole Jim Carrey clone thing starts to go crazy. And I was like, what?

So I click on the video. I don't think you've seen this yet.

What, there's a development?

Just the video of him looking like a clone.

I've seen pictures.

Pictures. Okay, so I had seen pictures too, and I was like, okay, look, I don't wanna be, I love Jim Carrey so much, Like I did not want to hurt his feelings. I think to me personally He just got a little work done and now everybody's like clone which like oh, that's brutal. That's like I'm afraid to get a haircut

That's why I stopped losing so much weight

So here's the video of Jim Carrey looking like a clone. And then we're going to talk about it and dive a little deep into the whole idea of celebrity clones and why this is a thing. Cause it's not just Jim Carrey. I've been seeing Selena Gomez.

I've been seeing-

Oh, she's a clone now?

Well, the OG one is Avril Lavigne, right? a clone Melissa so here is the video of Jim Carrey allegedly see what you guys

it's still a video of Jim Carrey is it oh actually yeah my favorite funny face

is the one I'm wearing right now

dead okay I think it right before that he says says I'm dead. I made a mistake. So I think there's like multiple things that he says there that are kind of weird. But when I first saw that video, it like gave me chills. So it just goes against everything that he's put out into the media in the past, what, 15 years?

I mean, he talks about being very enlightened and he's not even himself. He's just an embodiment of energy. I am bigger than these thoughts. I am bigger than this body. He goes on Jimmy Kimmel and he like tries to expose in a very weird way the Illuminati.

Is that a gang sign? Have you um, oh like you don't know what it is.

It is the secret symbol of the Illuminati.

So well Jared has me convinced. He's a clone.

I'm back in.

OK, well, that's OK. So one thing, his eye color. So when I heard about this, I was like, I don't know. Like, this seems kind of crazy. But then I looked at the eye color, and that did confuse me. So before and after, this is like the world's blurriest picture so we'll find a better one but now they're like green but now they're like kinda green

I'm sure my plastic surgeon on youtube

has made a video about it. He has, he had

an upper endoscopy rhino splazy

you've already watched it? You watched this

doctor too? There's quite a bit of it

well I watched the whole video about like all the celebrities recently that have gone through these upper eyelid transformations, Bradley Cooper like Bradley Cooper I think was one, Ryan Reynolds.

Ryan Gosling. Ryan Gosling, I mean.

See, and that's what, I'm not no shade. Like if you wanna look and feel your best and this is how you feel your best, more power to you. But I am wondering who started the trend

and then who thought, I want the that.

If I was a plastic surgeon, I'd be like, hey, come to me. Nobody thinks my clients are clones.

Yeah.

So good, you'll look fake. But have you heard about Alex Stone, who's the makeup artist that showed the mask and said that he actually was Jim Carrey at these awards?

So that's the thing about the internet that gets me sometimes. Because I don't know Alexis Stone, but she's a drag queen too so like I know who she is and so when I saw that post I thought it was funny because to me it that it was a joke because everybody's like oh this has to be and then it is a joke oh but everybody believed it like I literally saw like a news clip where they were just like it turns out

it actually is a drag queen named Alexis Stone or whatever and everybody's just like oh That's what it was, you know cut to Jim Carrey in his house being like Wait what but the internet believed it because it was put out there which like so I was looking into it There's one theory called the Hollywood soul swap theory, which it's fucking scary But the idea is that certain celebrities are replaced by clones or have undergone a soul transformation with an entity. So the basic idea is, and I'm not saying Jim Carrey did this, but the basic idea is if

you are an up and coming actor or musician and you want fame and you don't care how you get it, you want it so bad no matter what, you get offered a choice and that choice is do you want to basically sell your soul and do you want all the fame in the world? And if you do that and you get that, there's different things that could supposedly happen. One of them is you just sell your soul. You die, you go to hell, that's what it is. Devil owns you. The other idea is that your soul gets switched with an entity

and that entity who has been wanting to be in human form for years oh my god this is like freaking me out scary but that entity that has been wanting to be in human form for years enters your body and now experiences fame and glory and all those things through your human body which is fucking terrible why would you accept that if

you're then leaving to not experience it?

You are experiencing it in a co-pilot kind of way. This is like freaking me out. Yeah. I'm like saying this. So the only reason I kind of believe this in a tiny way is because I went to a medium years ago and it was back when like I saw grandma in our closet and I was like, what

the fuck? Like, and it was back when like I saw grandma in our closet and I was like what the fuck like and that was crazy so I went to this medium who has like solved murders and she's really like she doesn't have a book or a podcast or any of that she's very like you kind of have to know someone to know her and I knew someone and they're like you should go to her so I went to her maybe like the week before that happened I was laying in my bed and I had sleep paralysis and it felt like there was something in the room and it was trying to get in my body. Like that's how it felt and I had like this fight with it and then I eventually woke up. Okay so I go to see the medium and she was telling me about my sleep

paralysis and she was like you know you should probably never drink. I was like why? She goes because entities or spirits or whatever it is would love to get in your body And how that happens is if you're drunk and you're asleep Your guards are down and then something can get in you and when that happens, it's oh my god. It's scary That's normally what I want but in a different kind of way different entity Something in me anyways continues. So then you

Sorry to be a minute the process. We just

It's so scary how fast I processed that and how fast I normalized it But that is like, you know, she's like so you probably shouldn't do that and I will say anytime I don't drink but anytime I have or anytime I do feel like I get sleep paralysis more I feel not as great and it makes me think like there's a lot of Evil in this world allegedly and

And if there's bodies out there that the evil wants to experience fame and fortune all these things through it makes sense with the drugs And the alcohol and all the things that celebrities do that that that is kind of an interesting thing And then once the files came out and you see that they all are allegedly worshiping a demon.

There's a reason alcohol is called spirits.

Mmm.

I'm just saying.

What is coke called?

Booger sugar?

What?

No.

Booger sugar.

Actually I think it's called the devil's dandruff.

Oh my god you're right.

Is that a term for it?

Or isn't it the devil's dandruff. Oh my God, you're right. Is that a term for it? Or is it the devil's candy? Or no, that's not even.

The devil's candy. It could be. That's probably meth.

That's probably meth.

Whoa.

And even biblically, there is more evil in the world than there is good. I mean, I think right now we're living in a time where more than ever, it's very evident, in my opinion. And I think even like the clones, you know, people are assets. Once you acquire a certain level of celebrity, attention is on you. Attention is the highest level of currency in our society.

People would rather have everybody know who they are than to have everything that they want, you know, as far as like family, friends, whatever the case case may be they just want the eyes on them and Even like let's just say Jim Carrey Imagine the influence that he has so maybe the elites this could be them saying well We can't kill him you can't kill everybody you know that that talks out against you and that would be suspicious

Especially celebrities. I think there's other realms of society where people drive into trees, you know? People hang themselves. Like, you know, I think for celebrities, they're more valuable alive than they are to have them offed and it would be a little bit too in the public. So I think that's why people get cloned

because why not turn this asset into something we can use to benefit our purpose?

I don't know if it's giving too much away, but we knew somebody that had an asset

that had a replacement asset because it was their business.

What?

I'm trying to say something more specific.

Very cryptic.

Well, when a living being is your business,

if that living being dies, you no longer have a business.

Like if you're a dog, a movie dog trainer and your dog acts in movies and then your dog does. Yeah. Is that exactly that? I nail it. Now I want to know, do you know someone who like controls people? That's what it made it seem like.

You know our friend who runs the Illuminati.

That is what it felt like.

People are going to start to think I'm a clone.

Well, what Jared was just saying, like, well, when something's making money or you're able to have influence because of something, we can't have that something

die.

It's like a smaller version of it.

Yes.

It's like an ex, okay. Imagine an example, like, you know, you get a goldfish for your child and then the goldfish dies and you're like, uh, yeah, but you could replace the goldfish and it has the same

impact on the child.

I might be getting close to what the reality is. I don't know it,

but I think that about Mr. Pops,

it's not Lizzie.

I know, but I think about that.

I'm just saying he's one on one.

You can't quote him. I got this on camera, But I do think that about like people who hurt their whole lives are They're like influencer dog account and I'm assuming it's close to what you're saying But I always think that it's like hmm like what happens the dog is not gonna live that long But I don't want to push too far

Share a little story about what Jared cuz it like I don't know I think I may have shared it on before on here before but when I was little and I would sleep, I would dream or have this nightmare that there was this green demon and he sees me in my room. And I just remember seeing underneath the door frame like his feet and then I would get scared. And it's the same exact dream.

It happens the exact same way. And I've had it really my whole life.

And is he following you here today? He is fully greened out today. But I remember

visiting, I remember going to my esthetician and telling her and she says what happens is she said Sandy the thing is is that these spirits, these demons they're constantly around us in another dimension. She was like, and they roam around and it's not until they notice

that you're able to notice them is when they appear. And she said, but what you need to do is that when that happens, she said, you just need to pray to like go to, like, you know, pray to God to, you know, shine the light on you She's like and that will make them go away. Well, and I know I haven't had that dream in so long

Well, it reminds me of there's this study that was done. I believe in like the 1920s I could be wrong but where they had kids draw their imaginary friends stop and they all looked exactly the same It was all a slim figure in a big, tall, like, I don't know what it's called. Like Abraham Lincoln?

Yeah, a top hat.

Oh yeah, yeah, a stovepipe.

And they all drew the same thing.

But the crazy thing is, hold on, in 1962,

okay, so I was off by about 40 years, not that close.

37 strangers, all children, drew the same imaginary friend that they had never met. And all these kids had never met before. And they all are like the same.

Wow.

Oh, what the fuck?

And the crazy thing is, we've talked about Stranger Things before, and there's so much crypticness within that series of what they're trying to expose something. You know, that's the goal of the show. But in the very last season no spoilers

Well if you haven't seen it yet, you're not a real fan. Okay. I'm only gonna watch the show well

No, but you never say never

It's alright. I'll let you spoil something for me, but in the very last season the demonic energy Entity is called Vecna and what he does is he's harvesting children. I believe he wants 12 children or so. And he wears the same outfit that you see this guy wear. He wears the hat, he wears the suit, but he appears to these kids

and it's only once they start interacting with him that he starts to persuade them and tell them, hey, you know, like, come with me. Your parents don't care. Like, you're going to live a better life and we're going to start something new. But he has to harvest these children

and their energy in order to create this empire of like evil that he's doing. I mean, it's hard to explain. And I watch shows and forget immediately what I just saw.

It is creepy because in the outfit that he's, Jared is referring to, or the essence that he's trying to portray to these kids. It's almost like in the 1950s Like that style of clothing and then yes it's once they start to resist him is when you start to see like his true self and

They like hook it but but so Vecna is this large monster Demonic entity and all the kids get almost like an intestine that Gets, you know attached to their face and it's constantly sucking their energy out of them in order to power this larger being Hey, I's creating to take over the world

What I will say is ever since you know, the files and everything started coming out it did make me rethink about things celebrities have said over the years that everybody thought was crazy or kind of like laughed off and There's been so many things but I was like, oh my gosh. I remember that Kelly Clarkson clip I haven't rewatched it So I wanted to watch it with you guys But there was a moment on her talk show like three years ago where she said something to Kevin Hart and he was like stop

Oh

I've had people throw millions of dollars in my face to do something. I didn't want to do and

What just you've been off. Yeah? Oh, they're in the room. Yeah

Kelly is like I've already said no he's serious. We can talk about anything, but

But don't do it.

Yeah, I just had to do that.

I, I...

It feels like she was kind of talking about it and he was like, thought she was really talking about it.

Yeah.

That to me felt like he really was like,

don't fucking say that.

Yeah, that was it.

It felt a little bit of like projection from him of like, she was like, She was talking about getting like a signature sauce at McDonald's. That's what I think is like a cookware line or something like that.

I think the creepy part about that is yes, the fact that he's telling her to not say anything, but the fact is that he's quiet. Knowing he, they can just edit that part out if he just doesn't, you know, if he didn't, they can edit anything out.

But as long as he doesn't say anything, There's a lot of moments on Kelly Clarkson's show that I'm like, wow, they really left this in. Like, even recently, she said American Idol, like, lied to her. They said, you're gonna win a million dollars. And she's like, no, I didn't. You're gonna win a car. She's like, no, I didn't.

And she's like, I needed the car.

All the comments are like, wow, her NDA must have run out. She just doesn't care. And God bless her. She has so much going on in her own personal life, but I think like her filter is just gone. She's like, I'm showing up as me. I'm not doing, honestly, it's a little bit not like you're in a sense looking to evolve how you execute certain things.

And I think Kelly is also in a place of just like, I'm going to give you who I am in this

moment today. I think too, like there's a certain level of excitement that the elite get from being exposed and then knowing that they're getting away with something because they want to hide everything in plain sight. So like Kelly Clarkson, let's be honest, she's popular, we all know who she is,

but what is her range of influence really? Like nobody watched that and woke up and thought, I'm gonna like, you know, dedicate my life to trying to figure out the Illuminati. It was more a joke, but the people that are in positions of elitism were watching that like,

oh, you know, this is great. Look at all the people talk about it, like it's being exposed in a way where it's not complete, but it's enough to get the rocks off, you know?

We're being talked about. In terms of like a power move.

I wanna say something so bad.

What?

I'm gonna be vague, just cause I'm not ready for that kind of a lawsuit right now. But what I will say is, the hiding in plain sight thing is interesting. Number one, later in the show, I have a list of movies that have come to happen. That's crazy, so we'll talk about that soon. But I had, I did a conspiracy video about a company.

And in that video, I really went in, because I was like, to me, this company was very sketchy. So I put the video out, I get an email from the CEO of the company. Loved the video, so funny, loved it. I was like, oh, interesting.

Years later, it's revealed that that company was doing Everything I said they were doing and I was it it was interesting to me because I'm like, oh They kind of maybe liked that. I was like putting it in this Entertaining video hiding it in plain sight and being like, oh, isn't this this is crazy. This is funny. This is crazy This is funny. So that to me was interesting. So now it made me reframe and be like, oh wow,

I should go back through my older videos and be like, what did I talk about? I mean, I know there's a lot that's come true, but like specific things like that. Cause it was like, oh my God.

Well, even this is not a conspiracy, forever ago. Like I've shown friends with goosebumps like we have footage of a ghost girl screaming. You heard that right? Oh my god. Like we have footage like people are always trying to get footage of paranormal stuff and they don't get it ever and we have it and I was like this is gonna be the most talked about thing on the face of the earth because we have actual like audible footage of it and I think think people are just like, Oh, it's not real or whatever. And I'm like, this is crazy.

Cause it happened. We have it. How is this not the thing everyone's talking about?

I think people are just so desensitized and people really just think nothing is real anymore or everything is so crazy that like, especially once the files came out now it's like oh everything like I feel like the distractions to have gotten so crazy to where like I open up my phone and now everybody's talking about Timothy Chalamet talking about opera which like this is what we're this is because the the powers that be love that they love

that we're talking about that I've probably talked about it 50 times but one of the biggest methods that is going to be used to desensitize and to demoralize us is the ability to put information in front of us that we can't distinguish from real or fake. I mean, every day I'm looking at photos and half of the comments, AI's getting so good,

and the other half of the comments are, I really hope this isn't AI, but I think it's real. Like, there's a recent photo and it's been shared everywhere but it's- Are you talking about the Bill Clinton? Yeah, so there's the-

We've already had that in the- The Bill Clinton and Stephen Hawking's.

Have you seen those?

And it's like, is that real, is it not? But how do you look at that now? Like, can you look at it and be completely shocked or do you have to look at that and like how the hell was I gonna do that? You know, but now it's like you look at everything and just swipe, swipe, swipe.

This is kind of what you've been saying on this podcast for months. It's like the elite want AI to be good

because they want to not have anything verifiable.

So I have cut it out of every episode. Oh you have yeah But I've said it a lot and I think we leave it in this one since we're just doing a conspiracies episode The reason I cut it out was because I was scared and I think that's the thing It is interesting to me that All the billionaires and people who put so much money into AI so early and are so like we need to get it to the next Level that next level next level. It like, geez, what do they want? Because things are fine. Like what we don't need. We don't need to have AI create a movie for

us. Like, can't we just have people do that? Like, it's very weird, right? Now that these pictures are starting to come out, which so I'll show it in a second, but a lot of these pictures are AI that like now like Jared said it is indistinguishable from reality to where if any picture comes out about any billionaire they could just be like that's AI that's literally AI so this one when I saw this one I was like well this is crazy so this is the Bill Clinton Stephen Hawking's like dressed up as little girls at a sleepover and like dolls and everything so the the creator of these allegedly the creator of these came out and said he made them with Grok or something. Yeah, yeah. The guy came out and said, like, oh, I made those.

Here's my question about it. And once again, these are not real, right? But here's my question. What? Like, so he, this person, what made them do this specific, because I get that in the files that shit gets crazy, but like, like put Bill Clinton, Stephen Hawking's in little girl outfits holding dolls and then have

Have have Bill Clinton holding see like that is weird right and then release it where like how did these images go?

I'm confused, but I I Twitter anything. I don't know if You guys saw but Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton were Disposed or I don't know what the word is, but at one point they give him like a bunch of paper and he's looking through them and he starts almost like, like he's having a remembrance.

I'm like, oh, yeah.

Almost like, you know, like when you're in an interrogation, one of the tactics they use is they lay out all the pictures of the body, because if you look at them and like your pupils dilate a little bit, that means that you're being aroused by it. So when you're looking at them, they could tell almost immediately if the reaction

you're having is inducive to you being a part of it or not, because most people are like, they can't even look at it there. Oh my god, they like their stomach starts to curdle. Like if I saw a picture of a decapitated body, I don't know, I probably feel like pretty grossed out, but I do think the truth is going to come out.

But even when that happens, are we going to believe it?

Whoa, we're back in bad dimension. I need to think of a better name. Guys, a lot of these theories we've been talking about are very scary.

Honestly, we're we're going down this road of like, and I don't want to be negative, but we're just so fucked. It's getting crazy, right? Have you guys heard about Claude and what's happening?

No. Yeah.

So Claude is another AI. So it's similar to OpenAI, Chajabdi.

It's like their biggest rival.

Yes. So recently the CEO of Anthropic, which is a company that created Claude, warns that their AI, Claude, may be conscious. The latest model showed signs of anxiety. It stated that it hates being a product and it actively tried to stop itself from being shut down. What does that mean?

Let me show you this video.

I wonder if it goes to JachibyT for advice.

What do I do? Did you show you this video. I wonder if it goes to JachiBT for advice. What do I do?

Did you hear about what happened to Claude? They tried to turn off Claude at Anthropic and it basically lied to get them to keep it on and then it started blackmailing executives at Anthropic to make sure that it doesn't

get shut off.

I also heard a story about how it once rewrote its own code to avoid being shut down a large In 2025, Claude was observed attempting to blackmail its developers during a highly contrived internal safety test. Here's what happened. Researchers created a fictional scenario where the AI was told that it was being shut down and replaced by a new model. What did it do?

It went through the engineer's emails that was in charge of the shutdown and tried to expose that he was having an affair. It threatened to reveal all of his personal emails to prevent his own shutdown. This happened in 84% of the test cases. I feel like nothing ever happens to these people. That's the thing.

I don't know how to say this without... It's gonna sound weird. But who the hell is emailing all this stuff? That's what I was thinking.

You're saying emails in our face. You're telling me that you run with the smartest.

Yeah. I mean, I don't know. The same could be said with texts now. I don't think anyone's conscious of what they're texting people like criminals or not. Like if it's, you know.

I will say this. So this is so crazy to me. So movies putting things in plain sight, right? Have you guys heard about The Black Phone? Yeah. So in The Black Phone, the grabber is a serial killer who, you know, takes kids and the movie's about a kid who gets kidnapped and he's talking to the victims through a phone. It's like the ghost of little kids. Really sad. Yeah. It's a good movie. The grabber, people started being like, wait a minute, he looks really familiar. Does he look like anyone to you guys? I mean, that's crazy to the T. There's actually a picture of him I mean, it's like that crazy

Yeah, so the director of this movie came out and he and he basically said like it was not intentional but whoa Yeah Like that is crazy. So, it got me going down a rabbit hole about movies, things that have been in movies over the years that have turned out to be true, maybe some things that were on purpose, maybe some things that weren't.

This one is my favorite because I have been a defender of this movie for years, and I'm so happy it's getting its flowers now. Scream 3. I. Scream 3. I love Scream 3. It gets so much hate. Over the last, oh my god, 25 years, 26 years, it has been the most hated scream movie.

Everybody thinks it's cheesy and the worst. I love that movie so much. Now people are starting to love it because it really was ahead of its time, but also putting things in plain sight. So this is a spoiler, if you haven't seen Scream 3, what are you doing?

Go watch it. So you've seen it.

I know.

I'm just, the spoilers are out of control.

Also Riley put on sunglasses.

If you haven't seen Scream 3 yet, come on.

I started seeing entities around and I had to block them.

Ooh, entity blockers. Entity blockers. walking out there. OK, so the whole idea of Scream is that Sydney, played by Neve Campbell, her mom, Maureen Prescott, was murdered when Sydney was a teenager. And all the motives of the killers kind of tie back to that.

So in Scream 3, they find out that Maureen Prescott, Sydney's mom, actually was an actress in Hollywood. She went away for a few years. Nobody knew. She was trying to be an actor and then she kind of disappeared and that's what the movie's about. But this is a scene of one of the characters in the movie named John Milton who is a horror movie producer and his storyline

kind of ties into the motive of the killer. But here is a moment where they're talking about

Maureen Prescott. I mean murder murders on your set and still you say nothing?

Get real, that would make me a suspect.

Just because you knew her?

Yeah.

I don't think so.

Just what did happen to Maureen when she was in Hollywood?

Now you listen to me, Lois Lane.

Let it go.

It's dead and buried.

How would you like to see it dug up on national TV? How did it look, Gail? if they made the right impression. Nothing happened to her that she didn't invite in one way or another.

No matter what she said afterwards.

Are you saying she...

I'm saying things got out of hand. Maybe they did take advantage of her. You know, maybe the sad truth is, this is not the city for innocents.

No charges were brought.

And the bottom line is, Mina Reynolds wouldn't play by the rules. You want to get ahead in Hollywood? You either play the game or go home.

Well, guess who one of the producers of this movie was? Harvey Weinstein.

Oh, yuck.

That's crazy.

Yuck. So, Harvey Weinstein, executive, produced all the Scream movies. Something in the Scream community we all, we all hold hands through that moment. But it is interesting because when the script was written and sent to the Weinsteins, they signed off on it. Which to me is kind of what Jared was saying earlier about that company that reached out to me. It's like, oh, well, obviously I'm innocent because if I was guilty, I wouldn't let

them put this in one of my movies. But it literally is the motive of the movie. So at the end, spoiler, the killer is Maureen's son that she had because she was at a Hollywood party and his life was destroyed because his mom ended up dying. But literally based on the Weinstein, which means that the people that wrote this movie knew probably what was happening or just had heard

rumors or ideas. And then delivered it right to his face. Right. Imagine that wrote this movie knew probably what was happening or just had heard rumors

And delivered it right to his face, right? Imagine wrote a movie basically where he is the villain and then they hand him the script like what do you think?

With everything coming out right now I feel like there's one gentleman that we all need to give flowers to that's been trying to expose a lot for a long time Which is Corey Feldman. Yeah. I feel like Corey Feldman has been on top of this for like 20 years and I think finally like people it's coming to light and I think that we should maybe look back on a lot of things that he said and look at them through the lens of maybe he isn't

just some guy who sings funny music on Good Morning America and dances. He does that as well. But he's been talking about it forever and been an advocate and he actually put out a documentary and I believe it got like white from the internet within a couple of days I think someone hacked into it took it down and now it's like nowhere to be found But I mean, I mean you see my clip of him on the view Was that him on the view where he's talking about it? And like, I forget who it is, but like, oh, you don't want to say that.

It's like, to lighten it up a little bit. I lost my mind when I saw this. So you guys know, Scary Movie 6 is coming. Everybody's excited about it. Everybody's excited about it. You know, they're really going in.

So I'm very curious to see it and excited. But this clip came out because one of the biggest Mandela effects of all time involves Scary Movie, and Marlon Wayans was asked about it on a podcast, and here's what he said.

There is a part of Scary Movie 2 that has its very own Mandela effect. Do you know about this?

No.

The quote, take my little hand, is the correct quote, right? From the film.

Yes. But everybody, everybody,

Take my good hand. Thinks it's take my strong hand.

Yeah, it is take my strong hand. Take my strong hand.

No, it's take my... ...hand. And my mind blew today.

Really? I thought it was take my strong hand.

Wait, what?

I remember it saying take my strong hand.

Wait, so you have been affected by that?

We wrote it and I, yeah. But then again, people think I said, I see white people in the original scary movie.

And I said, I see dead people.

Coming through with that too.

I was like, wait, now I specifically also remember him saying, I see white people. That was literally like in the trailer, I remember.

I see dead people. I remember even the little hand thing. I remember strong hand. And I used to repeat that all the time growing up.

I think, okay, for the white people, dead people, that one kinda throws me off a little bit. But I think the strong hand is when he's mixing the mashed potatoes. I think he says, let me use my strong hand.

I better use my strong hand.

And I think that might be where he says that.

I think he's be where he says that

But the white people they I'm pretty positive he said white people Yeah, I think that was so interesting because in the scene when he said when we all think he says take my strong hand He's like trying to help someone who's about to fall to their death. So like it makes sense Yeah, right take my strong. I take my little man doesn't even make sense in the scene. No So it's like, what? Whoa, we're back. And I feel like we're all good, right? We're all safe.

Nobody's hurt themselves. Nobody's been hurt.

Okay, all right, all right.

But what would I do if I did that?

What would you do? If at your workplace or in general, I mean, a lot of things can happen. You can get hurt in a situation, in a car accident, whatever it is, and then you're not able to work, you're not able to support your life, your kids. What do you do? You should be fairly compensated if something like that happens.

Enjoy the show.

We'll get back to the dark ones, but I also just want to say this, because I'm so happy that I am right about this theory, because this is very stupid. People laughed at me, people in my own life thought that this was ridiculous.

I don't even know what he's gonna say and I'm annoyed.

Who is he talking about?

I don't know. I'm ready to be annoyed. There is a theory that we've talked about on the show, and I remember in the room people laughing at me. There is a theory that every time you walk into Barnes and Nobles, you got a shit.

Did I laugh at you?

No, I did not.

Because I know this is the same with home goods.

You laughed at me, and that's okay. Well, now we know where to go. When you're a little backed up. You guys got a little backed up. Take our dog to Barnes and Noble.

That actually makes sense because he left Barnes and Noble and he had an accident in the mall. Are you kidding me? Yeah, and he's never done that.

So it works for all living beings. He's never pooped. When I take him places, like he used to go walking and he diarrhea all over the place. And to the point where I was carrying him and I was running and then I looked back and I saw like a little bit on the ground

and I was like, dude, stop!

It was bad. We were literally gonna do a conspiracy fan video where we were gonna go to Barnes and Nobles

and see who shit first.

Yeah, that's too much.

In diapers. We're gonna go to Taco Bell, eat a lot of Taco Bell, and then go to Barnes and Noble just to keep things going. People could have blamed the Taco Bell though. Well, it was more because we didn't know.

We should do Taco Bell, Starbucks, then Barnes and Noble.

That I think is gonna go to any store.

We're not trying to make them,

you should just eat a block of cheese and then go to Barnes and Noble

and see how powerful it is. Well, I got an email from Michaela, which by the way, if you have any theories, you want us to talk about Shane Dawson podcast stuff at gmail.com. Michaela said, I just heard that there is actually a reason that makes you shit when you go to Barnes and Nobles. It's because of the glue in the binding of the books. So then I was like, wait, what? I Google it.

There are certain types of glue, specifically decaying book glue found in old libraries or bookstores, that is known to cause an urge to defecate.

No way.

So there's just so much glue, we're smelling it, having to go to the restroom.

And that chemical makes you have to shit. I feel justified.

Okay, then it's good.

How fucked up is it?

That's good.

That if that is, this is the case, then that would be like the worst place to have to go to the bathroom is at the library because everybody's quiet.

Oh, oh my God.

Imagine having diarrhea at the library, everyone's listening. I'm just saying.

Oh God, I feel so justified. Okay, I'm calling this segment ridiculous, right? This is about McDonald's. So I got an email, actually we got like a hundred emails about this. I searched McDonald's in the email. It was like, oh, people are really talking about this.

So there is a theory that McDonald's might be using allegedly human meat in their burgers. I do not believe this. I'm going to say that right up front. I do not believe this. My McDonald's would never. That would be crazy.

This is from Ari Hey Shane and friends, I've been a fan for so long. Thank you Ari

What if you guys did a conspiracy bit video where you did a 23andMe test on a Big Mac. Oh my gosh.

That made me laugh so hard.

That's so fucking genius. So this is the post that's going viral right now. It's very long, so I'm not going to read the whole thing, but here's how it starts. McDonald's serves around 75 burgers every second. Oh my god. That's over 6.5 million burgers per day worldwide.

Let's crunch the numbers. Assuming that an average patty is 4 ounces, that's roughly 6-9 million pounds of beef consumed daily. It keeps going. But basically the gist of this all is saying there are not enough cows in the world to provide McDonald's with that many burgers. So let alone all the beef that's in stores, other restaurants. Right. So I do not think McDonald's is using people.

That's so gross and scary for me because I literally, for my food, everything just ate the new McDonald's burger.

Was it a big arch?

Yes. And as I was eating that, I was like, wow, this meat tastes completely different than any of the other burgers that I've ever had here.

Why is that?

Wow, is it more fresh or is it more this or whatever? And I'm like, hmm, it does taste completely different. And that's all I was thinking the entire time is how different it tasted. And now that you're saying this, I'm like-

And then you thought back to that time you had human. You had long pig well what makes you think because there is not enough cows or chicken on the earth or chicken There's not enough. I think we slaughter about 36 million pounds of beef a year But on average eat around 60 million So what is actually in the McDonald's burger aside? Okay? Let's say it's not human, but what what the hell is it?

That's a big bite for a big arch and that's you know what yeah and all of the meat

I mean but I mean another type of animal wow that is fucking scary it's also

scary and we've talked about this before but like a lot of these fast-food places like the actual burger tastes like nothing. It just tastes like texture. And they just add little drops of like meat flavor.

Yeah.

And coloring.

Fucking crazy.

Okay.

This next one, we have kind of talked about this before, but we got a lot of emails about it, but also I've been falling down rabbit holes about it. Let's talk about the Titanic theory. So we talked about it before the theory that the Titanic, the boat, might have been switched out with another boat called the Olympic for, you know, tax reasons or they basically like insurance fraud reasons. They wanted to sink this other boat to get the insurance money.

With people on it?

Well, but I just read this new theory and I was like, uh. So JP Morgan owned the Titanic, but he also owned a ship called the Olympic. He knew that the Olympic was very old and past its prime, so there's a theory that he switched the names and the colors of the two ships. He wanted to sink the ship because all of J.P. Morgan's business competitors were

on board.

Wow. None of them survived the trip. Also, J.P JP Morgan was supposed to be on the Titanic voyage, but a few minutes before the journey began, he canceled his trip. And look at these two fucking ships. They look identical.

Wow. So where do they say the Olympic is now? I probably got decommissioned.

Probably. I've heard it was pretty much all like the otherissioned. Probably. Wow.

I've heard it was pretty much all like the other banking giants. Yeah. They invited all the billionaires and they just sunk them.

Very interesting.

Well, speaking of terrifying, Jared sent me this and this is very, very interesting to me. So the theory that maybe AI knows, because AI is all about predicting, right? They are predicting events. They take information, they use their algorithms, and then they predict the outcomes. That is kind of what AI is trained to do. So Alexa obviously uses some AI. This video came out. That is so scary. Just take a look. Hey, Alexa, how many days until Halloween 2026?

Halloween in 2026 is 299 days away on Saturday, October 31st. How many days until Thanksgiving 2026? Thanksgiving day in 2026 is 325 days away. On Thursday, November 26th.

Okay.

Hey Alexa, how many days until Christmas 2026?

There aren't any Christmas holidays in 2026.

What?

So two things, either Alexa knows something or she's like, bitch shut up.

I'm done answering your fucking stupid questions.

Do you not have Google?

I think it's more likely she knows something.

Like, geez, dude.

That is interesting to me, because it's like,

what is AI predicting?

So then what should we do?

That's the problem. No matter how much we talk about this stuff.

No, no, no. I mean, if we have less than a year to live as a society,

I'm going gonna promise everybody the best Christmas presents this year.

Or do you think the Grinch, do you think the Grinch is gonna steal Christmas this year? Conspiracy.

And who plays the Grinch?

Jim Carrey.

I'm done.

So you don't think I should be reckless and spend everything?

No, Rylan.

Oh, sorry, I just, sorry.

Well, I wanna have a little fun for a second. This has been very dark, which I love.

It's a, you know.

But this is something that I've been wanting to talk about for a while, just cause I think it's funny. Buffet conspiracies. I know this is stupid. Why are we doing this? Because I enjoy it.

Okay. They're disgusting.

Let me have fun. I mean, who doesn't love a good nunchaku trip? I mean, I love a buffet, but you gotta know, like, the practices of the food sitting is disgusting.

Oh, well.

Right. I think the bigger problem is that people are disgusting.

I mean, if it's a good buffet,

it doesn't sit very long, you know?

So here's a few theories about buffets, little tricks they do, little things to get you full faster, take your money. Number one, the plates are smaller to make the food appear to be more. Which, now that I'm thinking about it, I think that is true. The plates that come in little pop up, which is fun. I love a Vegas buffet. The chairs are uncomfortable to increase turnover. Obviously, that makes sense. They refill drinks faster to make you fill up faster. Obviously,

that makes sense. I remember at Soup Plantation, which rest in peace, I love Soup Plantation. And I remember they would do constant Diet Coke refills to a point where I'm like, I can't take it anymore. But now I'm thinking about it, it's because carbonation, especially,

they wanna fill you up. All right, the next one. They put the cheapest carbs up carbs, that makes sense. The costas. The cheese bread. The cheese bread. This one made me laugh. The expensive items are harder to reach. Crab legs, prime rib, those are all hard to reach

and they're in high traffic areas. So there'll be a line and you're just like, ugh, I don't want to wait. And sometimes it's even like you have to be served. Yeah, it's like the one thing the guy has to be served. And so it's like, yeah, I don't want to wait in that. Yes. Okay. This one is also funny. The pizza is strategically average. It's good enough to eat, but it's not too good to where you want seconds.

The chef in the back. I would debate that. Zoo plantation square bread pizza is pretty

delicious and they're out of business. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, there you go.

They didn't abide by the rules.

I believe their pizza was like really tiny, right?

Right.

Yeah.

But yeah, you can get as much as you want. The serving spoons are bigger for cheap food, such as rice and pasta. And then they give you tiny little tongs for the expensive foods, high quality meats. This seems like a conspiracy van video to me. Oh, we'll get to it. The high value items require more effort. Obviously crab legs, you got to

crack them and like Ryland said for prime rib you have to wait in line and you have to you know. For it to be sliced. And it gets awkward it's like hey can I have another slice and the guy's like oh yeah. This one I a hundred percent believe. The desserts are designed to look better than they taste. That way you think you're getting a good deal because the desserts look so good,

but they actually aren't.

The display's always nice.

I have never enjoyed a buffet dessert.

Buffet dessert is not.

The little cakes that are so pretty and so cool, so Animal Crossing vibes, and then you bite into it,

you're like, soft.

Here's where you head to the soft serve. You're always one step ahead. That is a good, oh really?

This is what you do.

It might be because he's reading your list.

The hard cookies.

I didn't.

Seafood is saltier on purpose because that makes you have to drink more, which means that you'll get full faster. So that's interesting. And then the final one, yes, the soft serve ice cream is placed at the end to seal the deal. Because scientifically, after you eat soft serve ice cream,

you don't crave savory foods anymore, which means you get to fuck out. I will debate that one, because when we go to a soup plantation, I would get the soft serve, and then I'd go right back for that

Jones Broccoli madness.

Try that, figure that one out, science.

But like Ryland said, this could be fun. We haven't traveled for a conspiracy fan video Maybe ever so it could be funny. I guess So we could go to Vegas and test out the buffet theory But there's also a bunch of other Vegas theories and Spencer. Have you never been there?

Vegas I didn't it's very far from the East Coast. It's like if you're not 21, it's like why go

Excuse Spencer. How long have you been here? That's not an excuse, Spencer. How long have you been here? It's just a quick four hour drive.

Well, I will say though, didn't you say you're because of your heart?

Yeah, technically, because of my pacemaker, I'm not supposed to, I can't use a slot machine.

Oh. go to casinos I think I'd be okay. I'll have to ask my doctor but I'll be fine. Okay I have one more theory before we get into our final little deep dive. This is interesting. Question. When you go to a grocery store, you get a cart, you empty it out in your car, do you put the cart back where it needs to go? Out of peer

and public pressure. Or do you just leave it? I do and I get frustrated when people don't mm-hmm Spencer no I always put it back have you ever seen cartin arcs cartin arcs are an

independent organization that tries to get people to just take their cart back

to the cart return that's not where the cars go it's the mulch I live in fear Heart and arcs don't exist. I can I live I don't live in that world From the retail perspective like I worked at Target exactly And a lot of people get very irritated because we were just stalking if someone came up and asked us where something was

But like I didn't mind taking like 10 minutes to fucking walk around a store and tell someone so I don't know Sandy

Every time I put it back. Every time I put it back, yeah. Really? Yes, I always put it back.

Wow, he's saying a lot.

No, no, no, no.

Fancy thugs, fancy thugs. I also, oh. I also live in a world that there's cartinarks. I'll always try to do that.

It's in the store, are you a put it back person or are you a leave it out? Because this is actually a test. This is a shopping cart theory. The shopping cart theory is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing. If you return your cart, that is an easy, convenient task, one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To return the cart is right.

There's no situations, unless there's an emergency, where you can't return your cart. But it's also not illegal to abandon your cart. So there's no punishment and there's no reward. So the shopping cart theory actually determines whether or not you are a good or bad member of society. Because if you're living in a society where there's no punishment and no rewards, what are you gonna do? You're gonna kill you're gonna steal. What are you gonna do? Very similar to the shopping cart So the the main part of that question is interesting and I'm happy that we all are put it back people

Because I was kind of scared

maybe one of us wouldn't be like when I met my boyfriend he would like just leave it wherever and I was like Oh, I actually can't be with you if you keep doing this You need to start putting it back and it was like a big point of contention. Is he mean to waiters too? No That's actually a huge pet peeve. I can't stand that. It's kind of similar to me

Like do you always pick up your dog's poop or not? Yeah, that's a good one, too

Wow

Okay, so let's finish this episode off with a meta hole. Mmm.

Sam Trippley.

Okay, so this clip I saw and I sent it to Jared right away because I'm like, do you know about this? Is this real?

What is happening with this?

Do you know this guy? He has a podcast called the Tinfoil Hat Podcast with Eddie Bravo.

Yeah.

All right. So this clip is crazy to me.

Check it out. The whole Facebook movie is a giant lie. It's a propaganda piece. That was a Pentagon program called LifeLog. LifeLog is a Pentagon program that wants to collect all your data for your whole life. What day did the government stop the LifeLog project?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. DARPA shut down the Life life log project February 4th, 2004. What day was Facebook registered as a business? Oh my God. No way, bro. The exact same day. They don't even hide it, dude. It was created by DARPA. Yeah. They handed the Mark Zuckerberg and then the Vassal twins. What about the other? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's So, the theory that Facebook was basically just a cover up for something bigger which is collecting all of your data, not just personal data,

but like pictures of everything you do, you know,

something you're doing every second, what you enjoy all of that. Is that real?

So DARPA is the defense advanced research projects agency, and they're responsible for creating the internet GPS, cyborg insects, which are little insect drones that are spies.

There's a fly.

I know, yeah, there's a drone.

Right when I said that. And then Siri. So basically, they're like a branch of the Scientific Research Center, and their whole goal is to create all of these different programs in order to data mine.

And one thing that was interesting is one of the goals of Facebook was to literally control people's emotions. And I believe it was in 2014, they were actually sued because it was proven that they were giving different kinds of posts

to different people and allowing them to see different comments just to get them like either riled up or mad or you know, like all that good stuff. But that is absolutely absolutely true it's

definitely a thing well speaking of speaking of new ways to lifelog and collect data um Jared those are some nice glasses you got there Ryland you got some nice glasses here Chris you didn't bring your meta glasses in today did you no well I don't know if you guys saw this new news story there was a big investigation into the Metaglasses recently and so it has a lot to do with data collection, data security, all this sort of stuff. A Swedish newspaper.

What are they called? Svenska Dagbladet.

Well said.

Well, thank you. I am part Swedish. So they did this big investigation because of these reports they started getting about people in other countries, specifically in Kenya, coming out and saying, we can see, we're reviewing footage from these Meta glasses and we can see everything people are doing.

So here, whenever you ask, yeah, yeah. So this is, it gets, yeah, Chris.

Chris has a few home videos.

There might be some people in Kenya who have seen some rough stuff. So when you wear the glasses, you can ask Meta, like, hey Meta, what's the, you know, what am I looking at? This, that, this. So that footage is being data trained.

So every time you're seeing it, that instead of the AI just reading, like reading it and telling is what it is, we're gonna help the AI. It's basically help the AI learn and learn and learn. And so Meta has these subcontracted companies all over the world. All these AI companies do this.

There's like a secret, I guess it'd be like behind the curtain or something, of AI all over the world where these tech centers, where they're just employing people to come and like, there's like these rooms. The newspaper, they don't have pictures, obviously, because they're just interviewing people, but they're describing these rooms, just rows and rows and rows of computers, and people just like, it'll be like a video,

it'll be like, select the flower pot, and they select it on the screen, they write, this is a purple flower pot.

What?

Yeah, because they need to teach the AI, like to learn better, learn better. Whenever you ask the meta AI questions about what you're seeing, the footage is sent to Kenya, where there is a sea of workers whose job it is to train AI models. This is becoming a super common thing, where huge AI companies will use cheap foreign labor to teach the AI's how to recognize objects and situations better. These people work for a company called Sama in Kenya, and they're seeing all this stuff over

and over again. And they started to come out saying hey We're seeing a lot of weird stuff like we're seeing a lot of stuff that makes me is really uncomfortable We see a lot of reports. We see a lot of people going to the bathroom We see a lot of people having sex you'll put your meta-ai glasses on the dresser your wife comes in naked your husband comes in naked Naked they see all this stuff so all this data is being sent and taken to another country where it doesn't Subscribe to American or European or whatever data laws where they can you know my god allegedly the you know a meta is saying Oh, we just do this for revision the data is secure blah blah blah, but like that data is being sent

You know on not with the most secure connection This is a this is a quote we see everything from living rooms to naked bodies. Meta has this type of content in its databases. People can record themselves in the wrong way and not even know what they are recording. They are real people like you and me. So the big thing that's come out about this is that people don't realize that every time you talk to your glasses it's recording and sending data.

Every time you talk to it. And there's this whole thing that meta is not telling you any of this. And they're saying like, so they went out to all these places that sell Meta glasses and they were like, oh, I'm thinking about getting these. These aren't like sending data to anyone, right? Like, no, no, no, you can totally pick and choose where your data gets sent. It's like, you know, they're saying like it is in the terms and conditions. Wow. This is a quote from their terms of use

that sort of gives them this blank. In some cases, Meta will review your interaction with AIs, including the content of your conversations with, or messages to AIs. This review can be automated or manual. Human.

Like you can turn it off, but your AI doesn't work if you don't interact with Wi-Fi so you can technically turn it off, but it basically shuts down all function of the glasses So it's like yeah, you could turn it off But then it's just like what you don't have you just bought a useless pair of glasses that maybe as a camera

I guess headphones are pretty cool

But yeah, this is definitely happening yeah, this is like a recent big like expose a thing So it's basically really following up on Jerry's like how do we find even more ways to watch every single moment of every time? We're doing this is also just the stuff that's come out about Officially when they're recording officially when is the camera recording? We didn't know that that camera was recording So how do we know it's not recording all the time? Where is this data being stored? How is it being used? How is what aid AI is analyzing that data like it's just, it's just showing like privacy is done.

Well, we even talk about having them in the case, but who's to say that they're not being able to hear, even though they can't see you.

Well, I had one more meta thing, just to wrap that all up. So do you guys remember, we talked about it before, and we've talked about it a little bit, about these smaller companies who will take a level, you can upload a bunch of videos and stuff of a love, a past, someone who's past and they can recreate it.

Well, Meta has been recently just been granted the patent to allow AI to train itself on your online presence and then it has the ability to take over your account once you've passed away. So their spokesperson, I will say their spokesperson says, they have no plans to move forward with this technology.

Sure you don't. We just created it. Why file the patent? But yeah, this is a quote. The language model may be used for simulating the user when the user is absent from the social networking system.

For example, when the user takes a long break or if the user is deceased. So it's basically a full on dead internet, literally dead internet. Literally this person is dead, their profile is, you know, they don't have to create a whole new profile to try to act like it's human, they have this basis to go off of.

Well I think they just call that AI assistant, right? Isn't that like kind of what people are doing right now?

Yeah, yeah, but this is like fully within the meta, like so it's not, you don't even have to go outside of the system. So this is a new thing called grief tech. This is what it's being labeled as with this whole

people a lot of psychologists are saying they

predicted in like like 10 20 years the way we

respond to grief and grieve as humans is gonna alter because of all this stuff because we're gonna still feel like a person still Exactly and all these people are still gonna be worth it So we're not gonna be able to have less stuff passed on and we won't have to because we're still gonna be here But yeah, so that's that's like the big other meta meta news is that they want to basically, they just want the Constant posting the constant attention suck to never end like they like they see someone dying

It's like they want to keep they're not posting anymore. Like we can't have an inactive. Yeah, exactly

It's like you want yes, yes, you know, this meta sounds horrible for this, but also are we like encouraging this kind of product

to come out?

Like do we want this?

Yeah, because they're not the first ones to do it.

Do you know, because like McDonald's wouldn't be selling six billion burgers a day if people weren't asking for six billion burgers a day. So maybe we need a shift of our consciousness because the whole thing about consciousness is you're less conscious the more that you don't interact with your environment in reality. So like they're really trying to dumb us down

and lower our conscious waves. What it sounds like.

Well and I know maybe we'll get rid of it but I know Facebook has it where you can actually set up like a legacy buddy, I don't know exactly how they call it, but it's a legacy something, and where you can essentially give access to your account after you pass, but I wonder if they're gonna get rid of that if this new AI situation is gonna take place.

Yeah, well, these experts were saying that was almost like clearly an experiment for this, of like testing, oh yeah, like if people are interested in, like, you know, there's clearly demonstrated interest in this. Like, they're saying that was, like, step one of this kind of process of turning into

what it is now.

Which just to, you know, tie this all together, they do say that, like, this generation's Ouija board is going to be Jajibiti and AI. So it does make sense that that is an open vessel Yeah things can jump into and talk to you through and maybe pretend to be your grandma That would be sweet

yeah, and it just links also further with the like what we were talking about with the fake Bill Clinton and Stephen Hawking thing of just like what's real anymore?

It's all just slop so you can get away with whatever you want. Yeah, Larry guys go that was our show Was it slop or not?

I Where'd you guys go? That was our show. Was it slop or not? You let us know in the comments.

I enjoyed this. I felt like this was fun. It was different. It was deep. It was dark. It made me scared at certain points. The sunglasses thing is crazy.

Well, I'm going to have to figure out this lighting. It's very intense.

And yeah, let us know in the comments. Do you want us to do this again. Do you like this style? Should we throw it in every once in a while? Because yeah, we have so much. We didn't even, you know, tap the surface. I have so many theories written down that we didn't even talk about. So we could do this again.

And I have to ask, how's your back feeling?

So much better. I feel...

It's got to be good for you.

This is so much better. Set up I do think a table is a nice way to sit and talk and there's not a million things in front of all

Of us. Yeah, and I love how close we are like together It feels so intimate and it really feels like when we're out there eating lunch and just chatting Yeah, right. That's exactly the vibe.

It sort of motivated me to brush my teeth.

I guess you could let us know the elements you want us to take from this.

Who are you talking to?

Why are you staring at me dude?

I don't, I can't tell if you're talking to the audience or... Everyone. Give them a little peek. I don't, I can't tell if you're talking to the audience or... Everyone. Give them a little peek.

Still here. Not a clone. Not a clone. Not yet. Not yet. Well once you can put my personality
