Let's dive in right into the Illuminati Podcast.
Hello everybody, and welcome to episode 34
of the Illuminati Podcast.
Today is a hands-off episode for myself.
Hands off.
As we hand the reins over to Alex,
as he is incredibly excited to take us along a journey all along the way.
But before we dive in and all that stuff, hey everybody, my name is Mike.
I am your host, as always, joined by my two beautiful co-hosts.
Jesse Cox, hello, sir.
Yo, we got a live show!
Come see it.
This is like four or three days before the live show,
so go over to chilluminatipod.com.
But before we dive into that as well, Alex, how are you today, sir?
Welcome.
I'm feeling great.
I'm feeling, I'm feeling real good.
I, all right, let's, let's chill real quick before I tangent really hard.
So as Jesse said, we have a live show.
October 30th.
It's a Halloween special over in some of the once ballroom in Somerville.
It'll be from 7pm to 10pm.
You can get tickets right now at chilluminatipod.com.
Come see us.
Come talk to us.
Come drink with us after.
Or high five us or high four handshakes or whatever you want.
Or stand a ways away and just kind of, yeah, or just the show ends and just
leave and that's fine too.
Like whatever you want to do.
It is Halloween Eve.
So what happens to Halloween Eve, Jesse?
It's the 30th.
It's all Hallows Eve.
It's when all those witches come to life and they try and get the kids or
whatever happens in that movie.
We're very close to Salem.
They could get on their brooms and come and seduce us.
Question mark.
Hello, Sarah.
The Sarah Jessica Park, which I'll take it.
Let's go.
I was thinking more bet middler, but we all have, you know, it's fine too.
I would.
I'm more of a cat in the Jimmy.
Sure, you know, Wallace does not agree.
The ghost is in your room.
Let me just deal with it because I don't know what he's barking at.
And I'm going to handle this and then waiting for you to go.
Look at something and never return.
This is the beginning of a found.
This would be that would be the most epic me episode of all time.
Be right back.
Be right.
This is the beginning of a found footage movie where Alex goes off camera and
for a minute we hear what what the fuck and he gets cut off camera shakes a little
bit and then Wallace just sits on the bed and Alex's camera shows a wide
screen shot of his room.
It is.
It's true.
We can see quite a lot.
You can see everything.
And here's my problem.
I've been at some point.
At some point something's going to happen in the background.
Like something weird in the background.
I'm down.
I hope it's going to move.
I believe this.
I believe this.
Something's going to move.
I hope it won't notice and then it'll be like that one movie where people die on
Skype or whatever the hell that thing is.
Yeah, that's the newfound footage trend.
Isn't it?
You're talking about it.
What a terrible name for a movie about Skype.
Dude, my friend, my friend, my friend Jacob is the guy in that movie who
sticks his his fist in the blender.
Tell him.
Tell tell Jacob.
He made it.
Glad he got paid.
But that movie is.
I think it's pretty much how he feels about it, too.
He made that money.
But oof.
All right.
I can't yet.
I can't let you have it yet, Alex.
All right.
I have to talk about this for like five minutes.
Please.
Have you noticed?
Have you guys been following the extra alien disclosure stuff that's been
happening as the weeks have been going on?
Well, the last update that I heard is that this that the government is
now partnered with this alien.
Yes.
It's insane.
Yeah.
Are you kidding me?
Wait, what?
Wait, talk.
Okay.
Tom DeLong.
You know Tom DeLong from Blink 182.
He's the one.
I'm aware of the gimbal videos and the government somewhere.
So he is his whole company to the Stars Academy has claimed for a long
while that he has he's found some some pieces of wreckage that is has
metals that are not from this planet, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
He's been saying this for a while now and a bunch of people like it's
probably just this probably just that even the government I believe came
out was like, you know, I don't you know, don't necessarily listen to him.
What three days ago it came out that the government contracted to the Stars
Academy and in in the contract specifically.
Let me get it.
I actually have it copy pasted somewhere because I was losing my mind to see it.
You know, I was like, why would they say that?
Listen, I you know what?
I gotta I'm losing my mind.
I'm ready.
But but there's a very specific clause in the contract that I was I was
losing it over.
It was a vice article.
If you find aliens, don't initiate intercourse with those aliens.
Okay, government contract number one.
It's also on top of that.
Oh, the Joe Rogan podcast as well.
I don't know if you guys watch the interview with Commander David
Fravor.
I did not the guy who chased the UFO until he talks about his
experience chasing the UFO.
Oh my God.
If there's a lot of stuff just piling out over like very, very, very
quickly.
Where is it?
Okay, here it is.
Quote.
This is directly from the contract that was that Tom DeLong DeLong sign.
This is through through vice.
You can go read this article.
Quote government shall perform assessments, testing and characterization
of collaborator provided technologies.
The government is interested in a variety of the collaborators
technologies such as but not limited to inertial mass reduction, mechanical
structural metamaterials, electromagnetic metamaterials,
waveguides, quantum physics, quantum communications and beam to energy
propulsion.
Unquote.
This is a government contract.
I will copy paste you.
This comes right out of the contract.
Like I get what it's saying, but like what are they saying that Tom DeLong
is going to like he has that he has the UFO that he has been saying
this for months and leading up to years and now I'm starting to
think Tom DeLong is going to be the one of the major faces of disclosure
or acceptance when when all this shit comes out.
This is I'm done.
This is happening, dudes.
We're going to see aliens in our life.
This is oh my God.
First off, it's insane.
Second off, I truly believe that this is this is a giant nothing sandwich.
No way.
No way.
This is the government being like, why would they spend their money and
contract blink 182s to the Stars Academy?
Have you seen what the government spends its insane amount of money on?
Just you wait.
Mark this listeners.
Mark this listeners.
What day is it?
October, whatever it is, you know, nothing's going to come with this.
Mark this day.
Take this sound.
Jesse Lewis Cox.
Jesse Lewis Cox, a big nothing sandwich 25th of October 2019.
Nothing will come of this.
No, God, Jesus, Jesse, that's that's not normal.
If nothing comes, what do you mean?
That's not normal.
Nothing comes into one year.
This comes out.
This comes out after the government acknowledges the UFO videos are indeed
actually factually real.
Those are not fake and on top of that, what it's what they're doing is
they're they're outsourcing the research.
They're like, oh, well, if they're going to do it, then yeah, here's some
money.
Go look into it.
We're not going to do it.
And if you find anything, then give it to us.
I can't let I can't swallow it.
He says the government is interested in a variety of the collaborators
technologies.
Does that not mean he has them and they're interested in that in the
writing there?
That's exactly what like the way that's written.
That is how you're supposed to read that.
But I do not in the core of my being believe Tom DeLong has a
gravitational pulse accelerators and like we know he doesn't have
when he had more than ever before I identify with Tony Shalub's
character in Galaxy Quest right now, like I've seen that movie.
But so if again, I'm kind of it doesn't make sense that he would
have this technology.
It's the things that are mentioned are not.
But he also is the one that got those freaking videos that were not
supposed to be released from the government.
So what you're telling me?
Maybe it's telling me Tom DeLong is Spider-Man that he is
both do taking the photo.
Okay.
No, I'm saying Tom DeLong is has been a UFO fanatic as his entire
life.
This has been a passion of his for a long, long time.
Crazy to get famous with a band that they could write about money on
this.
You know, but I can't man.
It's just too much.
I can't like it's interesting too because if you go listen to the
interview with the guy who chased UFO like he was a CEO.
He's talking about how they've been chasing UFOs for fucking
decades.
It doesn't happen as much on the West Coast as it does on the
East Coast and he's not a big UFO guy.
He doesn't do the conventions and stuff like this.
But when he talks about how it moves and stuff and then you talk
about and then we look back at like the Bob Lazar interviews
and the way they move in the gimbal videos that matches up
with it.
It's so interesting.
No, I'm not talking about the alien aspect, but the technology
aspect, if it's true, how they move, how they're able to move,
how they're able to do like quick back and forth moves without
any momentum and stuff.
They talk about how maybe what they do is they create this
bubble and gravity in front of them and they tumble constantly
forward into that empty void and you're telling me why they can
go into the water.
Former Blink one of the two member.
Tom DeLong.
I can't tell you who figured this out.
Former Blink member and lifetime UFO.
He's not true and he's not doing this alone.
He has an entire company.
He's built.
He's not doing this by himself.
Here's the thing.
Jesse, back to what you read.
Government Shell.
This is part of a contract.
Government Shell perform assessments, testing and
characterization of collaborated provided technologies.
Period.
Collaborative provider right away.
Provide right.
So what they're saying, but that's characterization of the
technologies.
So basically what they have been told by Tom DeLong's company
is like, yo, we can or have access to stuff and they're
saying, okay, well, we'll determine if what you have access to
is any good or not.
We will perform assessment.
We'll perform tests on it.
We'll see if what you're saying is true because what we're
interested the next part, what we're interested in is the
things that you've sold.
You've pitched to us as a natural mass reduction mechanical
structural metamaterials that all that stuff.
So basically Tom DeLong is like, we can get our hands on it.
We got this and they're like, okay, if that's the case, you
don't think the contract show this like prove that you have
this first before we give you money.
You know what would really mess me up is if after this Tom
DeLong went like dark completely, right?
Like though I had that same thought like he disappears.
He goes away.
He that's that's where why would he go?
Why would that happen?
He either either the government locked him down.
I like not not like no, no, no, no, not like in a prison or
anything that but just with money and contracts like if they
if he's like, hey, I have this technology and the government's
like, let's have a look at it.
The next thing that's going to happen is not like Tom DeLong
is going to be like, I told you I can tell you everything.
It's going to be like the government is going to be like,
okay, shut the fuck up.
What the fuck is this?
And then he's going to have to like never speak of it again
for like five years as they like reverse and especially if
they believe it's going to give them a military leap.
They don't want anybody to know they know other governments
to find out other countries to find out or they do and they
want them to be chasing the same thing.
It's like another space race, but you guys are adding layers
to this that don't exist.
You're adding.
You just have to wait and see.
We're just it's okay.
It's going to be you got it.
You got it.
It's nothing whether you believe whether you think it's
nothing or not.
You've got it at the very least admit the acknowledgement of
the UFOs Tom DeLong getting a contract and this giant interview
with the person who chased UFO all within about three months
that there was a video that was unidentified multiple things
not one doesn't matter.
It was unidentified.
What was it?
Who knows?
We don't know.
Government knowledge that there was definitely something weird.
That's all they've acknowledged.
Don't put don't put little green men inside those ships.
You can't do that.
You're putting your own biases on that.
I'm just saying you got to look inside the ship and they're
probably actually and they've said many times we the the the
CEO who who chase is like we don't have technology that can
move like that that can literally just move back and forth
back and forth out doing loops like in a straight line back
and forth starting that guy that I was talking about a couple
episodes ago like whatever like whenever I was talking about
aliens last time he was saying there's like there's like elements
with properties that like no earth element 150 151.
I believe you got like some crazy thing that it's like you
know unheard of like technology that's never existed before
in a in a hangar in Las Vegas.
You never know you never know I got I just I just had to get
that out of my system.
Metal Gear Solid is wild to me and I just feel like disclosure
is starting to happen very very rapidly.
All right George Norrie I just keep an eye on Tom DeLonge
that's all I'm saying I'm going to I'm going to I'm binging
Blink-182 music for from now.
That's how they get you that's probably not going to all
Blink-182 cause while it'll be an undeniably fun summertime
vibe dude I don't think it's going to help any god damn
weed yet.
I feel like I'm losing my mind Alex take us away even more like
you're smoking weed I'm ready to get just the thing for you
guys.
I'm so ready.
I found a pot dot com go live show by your never been more
wrong.
You two are so wrong just come to the show watch these two
make terrible decisions and I have to steer them back on the
right path Jesse towards the adulthood.
Just totally wrong.
You're both wrong.
Just answer me one question Jesse.
Yeah are you ready to get gobsmacked.
No are you ready to have your mind fucking dynamite tornado
exploded.
No are you really are you ready to have a class five hurricane
go off in your cerebral cortex man because what I have for you
today.
All right what I have for you today is one of those stories
it's one of those stories that pops up out of nowhere.
Oh no close your mind a little bit because it's exciting it's
a little bit weird but then it just disappears that they really
comes of it for a while kind of fades out of your focus for a
little bit goes the back of your mind is just a weird thing
you heard about once eventually practically forget it ever
existed and then one day years later it pops up again and new
stuff is happening and it makes you wonder if you didn't write
something real off from the very beginning that's what we're
talking about now you you got you know where we are we're in an
op we're in an episode of true detective guys because I feel
like I feel like I'm edging and you just barely started because
because we you know we got to do the thing where we like go
through to different timelines you know you check in with the
branching time you check in with the case of different times
along the timeline that's what we're doing today and I'm going
to you know okay I'm going to have good old age makeup like
I'm going to look like slightly older like it's really going
to be convincing you're going to forget which version of me is
the one that's like the real me because the makeup so don't
dude I've already been having those like post 30 year old
existential who am I thoughts so let's not yeah if you watch
true detective that was a really funny bit that I just did
I'm not speaking of jokes oh man it was so funny speaking of
jokes I just want to say much like the Andrew W K saga this
to this topic it started out mostly as a joke from the from
the beginning just because it sounded funny to me that I was
going to come to you with this case but then like I did a deep
dive again and again I'm like I don't feel like my buzz is
even killed on this like I'm not even like sure that like the
weirdest possibilities here aren't like what's actually
happening and I just can't stop thinking about it wasn't even
going to do this one like I wasn't even going to do I was going
to do something I feel I was going to do something a lot more
well-known I said in the last second you said I did I really
did let's okay let's go let's go back let's jump jump fly back
with me to 2012 okay seven years ago we're in 2012 again
yeah my YouTube channel is only a year old yes I was popular
not taking advantage of by the entertainment industry yet
my life was not fucked up.
Dark shit I was a waiter so it's not that it was beautiful
it was beautiful I worked at I worked at where was I doing
I was working at a shop in Santa Monica doesn't matter not
relevant to the story what is relevant is that there was a
blog of a semi-popular journalist travel writer and
award-winning crime novelist named Hillary Davidson who was
keeping a travel log of her book tour for her second novel
which was called the next one to fall and she's keeping this
blog at popculturener.com oh and you know what let me tell
you something this is something that's kind of like still
unfolding and is being reported on by a lot of different
sources online so I invite you like before you go googling
this please listen to this version of the story because
comparing all the different timelines there are so many
things that are wrong in like the very different places that
the story is online and I sort of like went back and made it
all factual so listen to this version first in terms of
accuracy of of times and what people said because I'd listen
to go three three different stories and they just people
just miss quote each other all the time it's crazy there's no
like there's no standards but that's what happens because
this is you know what this is like an internet story but I
like that flavor but don't Google this because seriously
it's gonna it's gonna fuck you up it's gonna fuck this up
don't even don't even just rely on Alex's storytelling just
look into it afterwards but like I'm telling you the best
version of the story that I can with the most factual
information possible and there's a lot of stuff out there
that's not necessarily true so just set this up hit us with
the story here's the blog here's the blog when I checked into
Houston hotel when I checked into Houston's hotel Zaza at
midnight on Thursday night there was some confusion my first
room was a themed room known as the hard times room this skull
was on the wall a few minutes after I got there a front the
front desk called up and said they had to move me the people
at the front desk were deeply upset at the thought of me
being stuck in this room I told them I was a crime writer
but they insisted on moving me to a swanky room with George
Clooney on the bathroom wall instead I like the skull better
actually okay George Clooney's a handsome man how dare you yeah
so this is weird this is like kind of a weird thing it seems
kind of like bizarre that there's this room that has like it's
called the hard times room there's a skull on the wall they
were like oh my bad but that alone is not like a particularly
like noteworthy thing definitely weird but not anything
super crazy after sure but a little bit later like about a
year later or so there was a Reddit user called Joel likes
music who came to Reddit and had something that was like almost
exactly the same except this one was on a post on our Houston
that was titled Zaza insiders question what's up with room
322 but his version had a lot more detail so here's what it
here's what it said stay here frequently when on business
hotel was booked solid and my colleague managed to score room
unplanned we all had normal Zaza style rooms which in parentheses
he writes swank and he ended up in this goth dungeon closet
seriously the room had a chain holding the bed to wall pictures
of skulls and a creepy incongruous portrait of an old man room
is about one-third the normal size with the furniture blocking
part of the TV bed and window we asked about at the front desk
and the clerk looked it up and said that room isn't supposed
to be rented and immediately moved him anyone know what's up
with this room and then I have the pictures here for you guys
to see oh that's awesome so have a look at these and tell me
what you think like which described them to the people so
that they can like yeah I'll make sure I save this link and put
it in the description people can jump in oh that's creepy so
the first photo is of like worm twins I don't know how you
would describe those women but women is difficult like their
necks are like way too long layered super weird painting to
be on a skull clock so let's like describe the room as a
whole so yeah yeah go for it the room is if you you know how
many enter a normal hotel room you go through the the big door
the you know like a little hallway area first yeah and
there's a hallway which probably looks like it has a bathroom
connected to it and then you go down the hallway and there's
a desk and TV on the right if you're like walking into the
room I'm sorry the left the left and then there's a bed the
difference is unlike most hotel rooms there's not a lot of
space so the bed is turned and pushed up against a wall there
is a little tiny desk next to the bed but there's also chains
attached to the bed holding it up to the wall yeah and a mirror
next to the bed so take a look at that mirror like it looks like
it's wrist like into the wall right it's not like hanging
there it's like well the walls brick so it's definitely
attached to the wall in some sort of way but it's not like a
mirror that's hanging on the wall it's like you see it's like
in but like in in the wall it's like set maybe I can't tell
if you go to the maybe very right yeah if you go to the if
you go to the picture that's like oh yeah I know it is in the
wall yeah it's like it's like set into the you can see the
edges of the brick go beyond yeah yeah the I don't know if this
is just because of the weird but like if you go to the second
to last picture what's on the TV and what's being reflected
in the mirror is a different oh yeah says preferred because
it's a panel thing we're he oh yeah from one side okay yeah
so it's to note the floor is concrete yes that that is it's
not like honestly like part of me would really like this room
there's not about tiny like hotel rooms that I enjoy a lot
and I don't know there's something but this would be fucking
weird right like you know it would be weird yeah what makes
it what makes it weird is the decor so the bed is like hanging
on a chain thing attached to the wall the lamps seem fine
everything you know there's crappy there's no carpet it's
just concrete on the ground and then there's a window that's
covered but the room itself all the art in the room overlooking
the bed is a weird the two girl picture adjacent to the mirror
is the skull picture and then above the TV is the picture of
an old man it's like a photo he's happy though he's smiling
he's a smile to me to me that's one of the weirdest things
and the other one is that the route the mirror seems to be
like it could almost be like a two-way mirror like it look
like it's so weird that first of all I've never seen a hotel
in my life that has like a brick like wall in it like that
and number it's also a very very small I've stayed in a few
hotels that have been like yeah you know God what are the
it's like the new wave of hotels were supposed to be like like
a pod hotels and stuff and I've seen those where they've had
brick like an older like if it's like a you know 150 year old
hotel maybe it's like oh people were physically smaller than
or whatever but really weird for sure yeah but yeah the thing
it's so the two weirdest things to me or the picture of the guy
and the and the and the like weird mirror but from here the
thread absolutely blew up there was like 2500 upvotes there
was like 2000 comments from people who are just like trying
to get to the bottom of this increasingly weird mystery and
eventually like a lot of people got swept up in this there
was a write up about it from the Houston Chronicle at the time
which at the very least talk to the OP verified the story that
they told was like an actual real thing and wasn't like
something they staged and they called the hotel to the hotels
also is actually famous for customizing a bunch of rooms in
its hotel but they're like usually if you look at it on
the site it's like corny extravagant like they have like
a suite that's called the Rockstar suite that has like animal
prints and shit okay so it's themed they're not they're not
and that one is it's mirrors on the walls it's like 2100 square
feet the bedroom sleeps 6 it's like a fucking nice room there's
one called Houston we have a problem that's like a madman
like Jetsons furniture looking thing there's like a globe that's
got like coffee table globe you know just like it's nice it's
like actually tasteful well designed nice this does not look
like anything the room that we're looking at really and the
like degree of like design to it is like way low compared to
like the other like themed rooms in the hotel but yeah
it's almost like I don't know like it seems like somebody did
this on purpose but for like a weird purpose I don't know but
they talk to the public relations director of hotel Zaza
whose name is Kyra Coots actually and the explanation she
gave is actually pretty in mundane she said since the hotel
is a historic hotel all rooms on each floor vary in size and
they really wanted to use all the rooms in their existing
size this particular room 322 also known as hard times is
compact in size but well equipped and a playful spin on a
jail experience. She also says it costs $180 per night and
that there's another small room on the same floor that's a
ship's cabin and has a balcony that looks at the pool but
when I actually went in and looked it up neither the hard
times room nor the nonically themed one are mentioned
anywhere on this website anywhere which not only lists
every themed room in the hotel support that they have but
also as like photos and like ad copy for every single one so
there's tons of there's tons of rooms that you can look at on
the on the on the website and none of them are a ship's cabin
or a jail room and nothing is called hard times this alone
to me was enough to get me like initially interested in this
like back when I first saw this post like a while back but
like it you know like I said I kind of faded out of it but
here's like the theories that people were going with at the
time with like what could be the explanation for this first of
all the guy in the photo the old guy they identified him as a
guy named Jay Como who was the one time president of the
Houston based subsidiary of the Stanford financial group
which was called the Stanford financial group company very
dumb but it makes sense because he was that he was known to
have held several events at the Zaza hotel and they also
noticed that it it the Stanford financial group at large was
seized by the government in 2009 after it was discovered that
the president Alan Stanford was using it to run an 8.5 billion
dollar Ponzi scheme so Como himself didn't even come clean
like he didn't come out of this clean like this dude didn't
is not like some guy who was unrelated to that this guy
himself he settled he settled it in Houston without admitting
or denying the findings of the SEC the security and exchange
commission and he even though he probably received like like
1.5 million dollars or so from fraudulent sales like
commission he got like he like personally profited off this
crime but his pictures up in this hotel room for some reason
and I you know I'm not trying to play to any stereotypes here
but you know you can see how like on Reddit somebody's looking
at this they see this and they think like oh like maybe he
knows somebody at the hotel you know maybe there's there's
some reason why these two like this person is connected to
this room and it's not a direct connection but according to
another interview with Kyra Kootz that I found that was at
the Houston press the president of the hotel whose name is
Benji Homsie lived in that room five days a week for two months
okay so that's like weird that's another like fucking weird
thing like I don't know why as the president of this hotel
that you would ever like come here and decide that you want
to live in this because you probably have money to be some
like yeah they're they're rich dudes doing like rituals in
this room I don't know yeah I don't know like literally Benji
Homsie like his actual house is so nice that it's been covered
in magazines like because the architecture so beautiful and
it's open and amazing I don't know why for five days a week
for two months he doesn't like live far away it's like I don't
know like I don't know why that would be it's like a weird
fact to it nobody knows why he would live in a room that is
under a portrait of Jay Como but we read it realized two
things first the there's this other painting that's like this
weird bald dude you guys see that one still yeah it's supposed
to be over his bed I'm assuming it says I just don't see it
when he takes a picture of the bed yeah like you you it's like
a great he looks like a putty from Power Rangers kind of his
eyes are kind of fucked up the first thing you could have
stopped that he kind of looks like a gray yeah he kind of
looks like a gray that painting is signed by Benny H which
people think might be Benji Homsie himself though like
looking at his actual house he's got much better looking art
up usually than this and I'm not trying to say that this
necessarily looks totally shitty I can see this painting
being up and like a coffee shop or something but it's not like
a hotel room quality painting by any means right like like
that's not like me being like hopeful I like you can either
be in a coffee shop in L.A. or it's a sixth graders of
yeah it doesn't look amazing so that's the first thing people
noticed and second and much more interestingly they noticed
that Jay Como the guy in the picture is an alumni of LSU
that Louisiana State University a.k.a. the home of the Delta
Kappa X Epsilon fraternity which is also where we got the
secretive Friars Club from which was founded in 1908 at L.S.
Hold on was founded in 1908 at LSU are you about to say this
is skull and bones are you hold on hold on hold on it was
founded the Friars Club was founded in 1908 at LSU and
ordered to restore a chapter of the D.K.E. fraternity that was
closed down at the Centenary College in Louisiana at the
outbreak of the Civil War this sounds like a little bit of a
stretch I know that but when you realize the chapter that
they were trying to reinstate was called Zeta Zeta a.k.a.
It's hard not to see how that could be connected to a hotel
that's named something so weird as Zaza and if that wasn't
enough to wrestle your Jimmy's the Friars Club symbol is a
coffin with a skull and crossbones on it and even though
Zeta Zeta was restored only 15 years after inception in 1923
their mission was accomplished Zeta Zeta exists again in 1923
that was a long fucking time it's almost 100 years ago they
still remain a very secret and powerful club and recently
what is going across what are you going bones so we'll get
there now bones dog this is going bone we're about we're
about to go right down that rabbit hole so I don't know why
why are we doing some people were happy enough with the Friars
Club people like the Friars Club idea you know the idea
maybe like the rooms like a weird little like mini clubhouse
or something for old guys who are just kind of like they
remember their college days but wasn't enough for me wasn't
enough for some other people on Reddit so they found this
other sort of like level to this so nobody's completely sure
because a lot of the details are only rumor because these
societies are secret but going by the fact that they're both
weird college groups that use skull and crossbones as their
symbol some people on the post made a connection between the
Friars Club from LSU and the actual skull and bone society
which Jesse was talking about which was founded in 1832 by
students at Yale University and is popularly connected to the
zeitgeist in the zeitgeist of things like the Illuminati New
World Order that type of thing oh shit how do I not know about
this is like on my own normally this would be an almost
groundless connection right that's crazy right that's just
like a bullshit based on a picture of a skull you couldn't
possibly connect a hotel room to the skull and bone society
right except that if you look at an actual picture of the
emblem of the skull and bone society what's the other
at it right now the other fucking thing in the picture just
a 322 a 322 no room the room number yes yes to the fact to
the point that some people even just referred to skull and
bones as the order 322 which to me is like it's too big of a
coincidence and even within like the societies context
amongst people outside the society there's not really a
consensus on exactly what the 322 means but one theory is
that 322 BC marks the year of the death of the great Greek
order Demas than Demosthenes and that the skulls measure time
from that date instead of like the time that we measure time
from another is that it refers to the founding year of the
society which was 1832 and that the second to has to do with
the fact that the founders of the club may have been German
students who were reestablishing a second version of their own
German club that's like also connected to the Illuminati
what I know right is this never how do you not know about
skull bones about it John Kerry John Kerry is part of the
order yeah and when he was interviewed about it a dude got
tased and arrested yeah there are many many many figures many
presidents have been part of skull and bones yeah you kidding
me now this is going down never never heard of this so yeah
there is another explanation though in the vice article that
was written about this an occultism expert added another
layer of the meaning stating that it could also be Hebrew
Geomatria where each letter is a number so you can add up
numbers to make words so like 322 could mean anything from
like lamb or man or demon they're all connected in there
and if you think the skull and bone society aren't serious
about their skull love enough to like justify their being like
skull theming to the room they totally are it's a pretty well
accepted fact that they probably have Geronimo skull in their
clubhouse which they just stole like they like hero Geronimo
they like they took his skull Geronimo's family even sued
the organization one time for the skull and they're also
said to own the skulls of Martin Van Buren and Pancho Villa
among others so that's for the people who have galaxy brain
that's the theory for people who have galaxy brain but for
people like Jesse there's another theory they saw all the
facts and then concluded that this was all just a little
too perfect and that maybe the whole thing was just an
insane stunt being pulled by PR marketing executive Kyra
Coots who again is the head of PR for the hotel literally
like marketing the hotel to the public is her job and so maybe
she did this to keep their name in the news and to keep people
for talking about the hotel for as long as they can just
getting it to come up in search results and all that type of
stuff just because people are like talking about this mystery
all the time. But to give a little bit more evidence to
that there is like people talk about the interview that she
did with Vice and say that it's pretty weird so I'm just going
to like read through a little bit of it and you guys can like
decide how weird it is because I think it is pretty weird.
Yeah, the Houston Zaza claims to have pioneered theme groom
sweets. Are you one of the first hotels in America to have
them? She says the Zaza collection started in Dallas where
our first property was built 10 years ago. Our owners and
president were really the visionaries and pioneers behind
concept suites. So when the hotel Zaza Houston opened a few
years later, they continued with the same conceptual design.
What are some of your more popular concept suites? She
says one is Houston. We have a problem which is fitted with
the NASA theme because Houston is home to NASA. The furniture
is very space age and it has some NASA collectibles in there.
Another one is the so-called loft a take on New York City.
It has the red exposed brick and artwork that's reminiscent
of New York.
Can you talk me through the hard time room, hard times room
I've read about online? Yeah, that's actually room 322 here
at the hotel. The building was built almost a hundred years
ago. So when Zaza came in, they wanted to use the existing
structure. They didn't want to manipulate anything for design
purposes. As a result, there are a couple of rooms throughout
the property that are more compact for 322. The idea was
just to take a fun unique spin on a jailhouse experience. So
it has an exposed brick wall and a bed hanging from the wall
with chains. It's just a fun way to decorate a small space.
What about the decor? I mean, again, it was so clear.
Yeah, what about the decorations in there? I saw that there's
a portrait of the president of the Stanford financial group
company on the wall, which seemed a little odd. She says,
I'd need to look into that a little bit further. Do you know
where the paintings and photos are from? They look very
different to the decoration in all the other rooms. The art
is really infused throughout each of the properties in Houston
and Dallas. It's part of the culture of Zaza. The particular
paintings in that room are just the ones we felt most captivated
the experience you're going to have and go with the theme of
the room.
Fucking nightmares. The theme of the room being jail. Right.
Including the two headed woman. She says, I'm sorry, I'm having
trouble hearing you. I can get back to you on that. I'd have
to check with the designers. Are you aware of the online
discussion about the room? I'm aware of the ongoing dialogue.
Yes. What do you make of it? I definitely think that if folks
haven't had an experience with the historic property, they
might have had a hard time understanding why a room is so
small in nature compared to other larger suites. But when you
see historic properties, you have a little more understanding
of how the spacing is configured. I think a little I think
people online are more interested in why there's a
portrait of the president of the stand for financial group
company as opposed to why the room is small. I would definitely
need to get back to you on that one. She says, do you hire or
sell rooms to private clients with purchasing a room in the
hotel be a possibility? She says, all of the rooms are available
to be booked. 322 is certainly room that's able to be booked.
Then the person says, really? The person online who booked
the room was allegedly told that it wasn't supposed to be
booked. She says, I think that was just a misunderstanding and
it's perhaps been paraphrased incorrectly. We have a guest in
there right now. So we do utilize room 322. It's part of our
collection of rooms and it's not something that we shy away
away from.
Yeah.
So it's weird that she like basically like ducked every
single question about anything regarding a mystery.
In like a very creepy way and even like pretended to not be
able to hear maybe.
But I don't know. Yeah.
It's definitely weird. I mean, like the art like you said,
art doesn't really make any damn sense. You know, in for a
themed prison room because I I've stayed in a years ago. I
went to paradox con and one of the places they held it and
was an ex an old prison that was retrofitted into a hotel.
So you had like a prison cell that was themed as a prison
like a prison cell room that was retrofitted to be a room and
themed that way. But yeah, it you felt like you were in a
prison, but it didn't wasn't like this. Yeah, I mean, this
doesn't really even really scream jail to me.
No, the bed out the chain the bed with the chain does a little
bit because that's that's how it was as well for me. But nothing
else nothing else. Yeah, doesn't makes it feel like a prison.
Yeah, so that's pretty much it for the 2013 portion of the
timeline. But I want to I just want to draw attention to
something that I noticed at the bottom of the original post,
which thus far has only really been mentioned on a video with
a fairly low view count like sub 100 views. Okay, like many
popular Reddit posts. This one was updated with a few edits
as time went on from the OP telling people like what was
going on. Press coverage addressing questions that
people in the comments were asking things like that. But
the very last edit he made is like very weird. I'm just going
to read it to you. And to the very new Redditor offering me
a bounty to delete this thread. I'll totally do it because
cash is cash. But I don't want to die either. So let's do this
publicly. I'm posting your message you sent me and we can
meet at the Monarch bar next week. I'll be in town on Monday
and will update this thread when I get to Monarch so we can
meet. Then he says there's a screen cap. But when you click
on the screen cap, it just leads back to that same Imgur.
Okay, and there's no
screen cap of the offer.
So not conclusive in any way towards anything, but it's like
a weird fucking detail that I noticed that I think people
should know about because it it does seem to imply something
right?
That somebody's willing to pay
a pretty large amount of money to have somebody delete this
Reddit thread for some reason.
Yep.
And that's like where like that timeline of true detective
goes. And then we go back to now seven years later in 2019
since since then the stories popped up here and there on
small sites over the years, most notably on another big Reddit
thread on our unresolved mysteries that mostly is just
like just a bunch of references to the original thread that
just kind of like tell the story a little bit more
coherently. But it isn't until about a month ago now that it
really starts picking up steam again. Thanks to a video from
a pretty new YouTube channel that's just been kind of like
doing the like unsolved mysteries thing on YouTube and just
kind of popping off. They're called barely sociable.
And in this video, he rehashes a lot of what we've already
talked about, but he also calls the hotel and records the
call. And I'm about to read the transcript to you right now.
He says, do you have a full list of the concept suites? Is
that what they are? And they say so our suites arranged from
the top level are the magnificent seven suites. There's
only seven of them on the 12th floor and then the concept
suites, which is on the 11th floor. Those are also theme
suites as well. And then under that falls the junior suites.
The junior suites aren't themed. They're just bigger suites
with a little more spacing rather than a standard level room.
Okay, and then the guy goes, okay, so just to go through this.
Oh, you guys do have some photos here in the website. So just
to make sure it's the fullest of suites here, I'm going to
let the girl I'm going with decide. So you guys have the
Bella Vita, the black label, the fatal charms for your eyes
only. It happened one night, the rock star suite and the
tycoon and then the ones listed under the concept suites. And
then there's no other theme suites. These are all of them.
And they're like, yes, sir. Those are all of them at this
property. And he goes, okay, and do you guys have another
property here in Houston? And she they go, we do we have the
Memorial City location. Then they chat a little bit about some
stuff that has nothing to do with anything. And then he says,
okay, all right, well, I'm going to look through the photos
here and just to confirm, these are all the suites for both
properties, correct in Houston. And they go, yes, sir, that's
correct. Pretty standard phone call. But he does confirm this
person on the phone does confirm that regardless of whether
or not the room exists, or is available to be rented, if you
ask for it, the staff of the hotel either does not know about
the room, or pretends not to know about it to members of the
general public, which either way is weird to me. I want to call
them really badly. Yeah. But then, like, a week ago, the time
I wrote this, which I think now is like, maybe like a few days
later, like 10 days ago, another guy on Reddit, this guy named
Jay Pagle, posted to the unresolved mystery sub with a
pretty crazy proposition. Okay, he said, so I remember
hearing about this mystery. And when I watched the above video,
I just thought, why hasn't anyone stayed in this room and
documented the whole experience yet? Well, you know what? I
live in Houston, and I've got nothing going on this weekend.
So I called the hotel a moment ago and asked if I could book
this specific room for Friday, specifically room 322, known
as hard times. Sure enough, they're more than happy to book
me the room, albeit they seem genuinely shocked anyone would
call while they stay in that specific room. I asked about
the room and here's what I discovered so far. The room is
very much available to rent, but it's probably their least
popular room and is considered a last to book room, meaning
it's one they typically only fill when the rest of the hotel
is book solid. I found this particularly interesting considering
all the buzz on the internet about this room. The decor has
changed slightly over the last few years to tone down the
creepiness. Specifically, they have replaced a lot of the
pictures on the wall. The guy I spoke to had no idea why it
still isn't listed on the site as a themed room, only that the
owners like it quote for some reason and don't want to get
rid of it. He said he thinks they like the quirkiness quote
unquote of it. So, if I book it right now, it'll be $249 for
a one night stay this Friday. If I do it, does anyone have an
interest in me doing this? Is this something you guys would
follow? I don't want to spend the money on this if there's a
little or no interest in this little experiment slash adventure.
Obviously, as I was literally researching this episode in real
time now, like things were happening now in this story
after I started writing this. Seriously. That's wild. This
seemed a little bit too good to be true. But sure enough, a
few days later on October 11th, he started live posting his
stay complete with pictures and videos. Though the video links
are all private now because afterwards he edited them all
into one giant video on his channel. Okay, so here's what
happened. First, he posted about how on top of what we already
know about Benji Homsie living in the room for two months,
which we already talked about earlier. They apparently still
love the room. And often they stay there to this day when
they're in town. So even over these seven years, the owners
of the hotel have still been coming regularly and staying
in this shitty little room for some reason. Stop it. Stop
barking. Wallace wants it. He wants to he wants to book gap.
That's so weird. First things first around 9pm. He went up
to the room to do a quick once over and see what things had
been changed. But it really only seemed to be that the painting
of the twin girls was moved to another wall to be replaced
with a framed prison uniform that says property of Zaza. And
not surprisingly, Jay Como's picture was gone. But what is
super weird about that is that it was replaced by a small black
and white photo of Conan O'Brien in an electric chair, which
is just a weird thing. It's just like a weird that is a very
bizarre artistic voice. So I'm going to Oh God, I didn't. Yeah,
I didn't give you the link. Give me the I just know you just
said here's all the photos. All right. All right. I mean,
let's have a look. Let's talk about these new changes.
You also get a little better. You also know it very much looks
more so previously. It was a room that the art and the decor
didn't match what they were going for. It was like reddish
and they're weird brown tones. Now it's all very metal. The
table that you would eat food on is metal. The the bed has
sort of more metal fringes on it. So is the skulls here as the
weird painting of the alien looking dude. But like the
outside balcony area has been called the yard now with like
a little weight like weights. So you can definitely tell they
tried a little bit more. But they also kept some of the old
art just to like, you know, keep it creeps, keep it creepy.
Yeah, it looks darker. It looks darker like they repainted
the walls. They added more metals to the room. I mean, okay,
I'll let you continue. I already have thoughts, but I'll let
you continue. So then he made a plan to meet up with Houston
based Redditors in the bar. But nobody showed up. So he ended
up slamming a few Roman Cokes with a dude who he didn't think
was part of the Reddit group. But to quote his own words,
he said, I don't think he's one of you guys. But for some
reason he kept wanting to push me for more and more details
on what I was here for. Weird. And then almost an hour later
he posted he's still hanging out with that guy. And he's also
now extremely wasted. Then he goes up to the room and does a
deep dive on the details double and triple checking for two
way mirrors, microphones, secret passages, anything like
that doesn't really find anything that sets off any alarm
bells, explaining that after this check, he feels pretty
confident that there's nothing really going on here other than
that the owners of this hotel are kind of weird and keep this
room around as a pet project until an hour or so later when
he notices something extremely strange about the wall, the
mirror is set into. First of all, like I said earlier, is the
only brick wall in the room, which is something you wouldn't
really expect to see in a normal like modern day hotel room.
Uh, but it also could have easily been built to turn a small
portion of the room into a viewing chamber for the two way
mirror. Oh, I see what I mean. I see what you're saying. Like
he's saying that this wall could have been constructed to
literally kind of the room was bigger initially and they just
like if you can imagine like maybe they just put a put a wall
with a mirror in it and it's right over the bed that you can
like stand behind. So because so my next question would be
because usually hotel rooms are really close to one another.
You usually the wall is literally separating you from the
next room. Granted, this is an older building. So architecture
could be finicky, but I'd be curious how far away the next
so he walks out the door. There is. So he walks out the door
to see what it shares a wall with and he finds a narrow
employees only door with a padlock on it that he couldn't
find in use anywhere else in the hotel on any other door and
films a little addendum to the video about it next morning
and here's the link to the full video for you later so that
you guys can look at it in the show notes. And yeah, I it seems
like there's a there's a closed off room behind that wall. So
so what is that all that may that may be true. But there is
a what is that called a layout like you know there's actually
like a layout of that floor online. You can look at and
while there is an employees door what's directly behind that
mirror is another hotel rooms bathroom. And so if it was like
someone trying to sneak through then they would be looking
through pipes and shit in order to see the hot sex I guess.
Yeah, but that's exactly what it is is it's like why is there
a door there like why like it's it's a smoke like we've been
talking this whole time about how weirdly small this room is
and if the answer is just that they converted half the room
into the back half of another room. Why would they do that
and why would they put a recessed mirror on that wall.
Like I've never heard of a wall with a recessed mirror in
any house anywhere. You know what I mean any hotel room.
I mean it could mean it could be because it's brick it could
be because a lot of different reasons. I think it's the idea
that they had a small room like this. Like I don't know I have
a lot of theories and none of them are like people watching
you do it but please continue. Well I mean that's it. I mean
that's that's that's where the mystery is today. That video
went up like less than a week ago. You know this this is still
just kind of like something people are talking about online
right now but I I am so I am so interested in it because
there's just a couple more coincidences here. Then normally
make me feel like something is not real like the fact that
the employees don't tell you that the room exists is super
weird. The fact that to me that like like every one of these
things has a reasonable explanation that is only made
more mysterious because no one's forthright with you. But it's
the idea that like the employees are not going to try and sell
people the smallest shittiest room there right. But they're
actively going to be told not to do it would be part of the
theming of the room. It's like oh it's like a jail room and
right. But that no one like for two hundred twenty nine
dollars. That's not going to be you can tell why they would
be told this is our last like do not sell this property because
this sucks. Let's say no one has good experiences. The other
the other angle I would come at that from to if you want to
keep it more grounded to is they could if it's literally one
of their owners favorite rooms to always have it at the ready
in case he's about to show up and wants it. Also I think it's
just because it's an old building. There probably are
crappy small rooms they even said there's rooms in different
sizes. So this could be one of those ones that you know if you
look at old Soviet architecture and things like you know
there's some things don't make sense if it's not properly
planned. Yeah. And I think that this is one of those rooms
that just isn't properly planned. I think it's I would love
I would genuinely love for it to be a two way mirror. And it's
like some freaky sex thing. I think that would be amazing.
I don't know that's the case. Como. What about this giant
rich criminal who lives in Houston whose picture is up
in the hotel room and has connections to a secret
society at LSU. Oh yeah. No. So what I think about all that
is I think that the owners are weirdos is what I think. I
think anyone who's going to own hotel chains and be like
this is the this is the what happened last night's sweet
and this is the 40 you know 40 lashings but did you look at
them. Oh no trust me. I've looked at I've been literally as
you've been talking on the actual Zaza webpages looking
at photos. Other rooms actually good though. You know what I
mean. They don't write. Yeah. I think the owners are just
weirdos and I think their whole thing of like oh well we have
a shitty small room. How do we sell it as something. And
originally it was like oh small. It's a prison cell. And
then they're like well how do we decorate a prison cell. And
in their minds they were like let's make it weird. And so
they add these things and they just because you don't think
it's more people stayed there. It's more likely that pictures
of the room that their weird room that they had got out and
then they were like it's a jail room and then they like got
rid of it. I don't I added the stupid yard sign and they added
like a jail thing. You know what I'm saying. If that's the
case then I don't it could easily be that they made a weird
room and they had to explain the weird room they made but I
also don't think it was a weird cult room. I think they created
a room. They made it very weird. They added like oh we'll throw
skull and crossbones in there because that's creepy coincidence.
Jake Como is part of Delta Kappa which is no I think this is
like Zeta Zeta and the skull. I think this is like I think
that is I think all of that is like coincidence falling into
place. Yes. Yes. The guys had a guy's had a hotel. He's a
criminal. I think I think them having events in the hotel.
I think this room could easily chalked up to being like snark
and or like we're you know we actually live in it.
Yeah which is why I think like if the owner lives in it all
those things are like things the owner thinks are hilarious
and sometimes people are not they don't are like they aren't
funny and so him being like remember we had that criminal
here hilarious. Let's put that up like that's you know it's
fucking weird and then they replaced it with it is weird.
I'm saying the owners are weird and then they replace it with
Cone O'Brien in the electric chair as if like that guy that
guy was I'm actually I'm not against the yeah I think there's
a lot of coincidences that fall into place here. I'm kind of
without so I don't know if there was like weird rituals
happening here. I would say that if this rich guy or the owner
is I can't believe we've gone from from one thing to like
rituals happened here. No I don't think I don't think that's
what happened. I my down to earth but still want to believe
in like at least the coincidence is not being more than just
coincidences is maybe this guy is part of the order and this
is kind of just he's this is kind of his way of celebrating
that he's part of the order like this is his favorite room.
So he decked like 322 I'm part of the order. So he kind of made
the room in the style and he started living in there so we
could kind of like imbibe himself with the reminder that
he's part of the secret society. I don't know if there's a
the mirrors two-way thing or anything like that. It's weird
but I would not put it past that like somebody with with
fuck you money and all the time in the world to come by and
be like this is my secret project and I love being part of
the order and I'm just going to go ahead and decorate it and
then when it got out maybe a marketing guy was like this is
great like this is great for viral marketing. Let's just
kind of push the rumor out there some more and make it even
more of a fan. What if you're a rich businessman with no taste
of the kind who goes to a really expensive hotel that you
know you want to do the NASA suite or whatever like you want
to do something stupid like that and then you're like man you
know I'm here with my wife but like what if there was another
hotel room where I could go have sex with like a prostitute.
I mean yeah that's you know that's very possible that's that
is not out of the realm of possibility 22 you know what I'm
saying you know it's like a little code it's it's weird I'm
with you that's that's so it's super to me to me everything
in my in my everything in my brain wants me to want me to
say that it's just nothing but it's just the amount of things
that come together in this are too many the locked room the
the the secret I just I wonder if John Kerry is ever stayed
in that room the 322 I I are you sure it's not more likely
that it's room 322 and thus they based all like they were like
oh it's 322 could be it's creepy let's add oh skull and bones
that's 322 yeah that's what I'm saying like I like the first
of what is is like the creepy thing I think it's weird people
being weird and accenting the room with 322 is to make it
weird it very well could be the theme I just have no idea I
just it's so fucking weird and it doesn't like the the decor
of the room doesn't really speak of like smack of like intention
originally you know it's no it definitely feels like a
smattering yeah it's just a weird room but yeah this was the
internet this is the internet mystery that I found that to me
was the most like possible like of all these like reddit
mysteries that go around that people look at to me this one
actually made me think like oh maybe I would love it if that
was a two-way mirror and it was like for freaky sex stuff just
to fill that I would have I would love that that was actually
true it's not that crazy like people do do that tiny yeah I
would be like yeah all right maybe just to get a camera out
was in between the wall you know what I mean it could be
anything like it could be just like that is 250 friggin
dollars a night though makes it a little bit difficult to I
think that's just a product of it being at Hotel Saza though
yeah that's her oh yeah for sure I'm not saying that's part
of that just saying I would love because next time in Houston
I'd be like man maybe I'll just go spend a night there but
yeah like if you're saying there's a bathroom from another
room kind of jutting into that room I could totally see that
little employee employees only door being like just to a place
where you can place a camera behind the mirror where you can
like run it if you want to catch somebody blackmail you
thinking like powerful people like you said maybe do an illicit
thing yeah you send them down there you say hey if you if you
just ask for room 32 322 if you need it you know if you need
it yeah and then you send the bellboy down there and you're
like yo turn on the little you know turn on that 322 I mean
like that's not even that out of their own possibility with
what we've known has happened with government and freaking
Jeffrey Epstein and all that other nonsense that shit is real
not that like that happens the government has rings of horrible
shit happening all the time and I'm sure they record and keep
it as evidence as a means to keep people under their thumb
even if the even if the like kooky theming is just like fun
for the people who made it I still don't think I don't I still
don't think it's crazy that that room is like maybe like a
little fuck room.
Yeah no I definitely wouldn't be I wouldn't be surprised if
that ended up being you know something along those lines
for sure little Houston that's why I was a weird rabbit hole
man yeah.
Thanks if you guys like this one let me know I got like three
more that are like kind of of this flavor that are like weird
internet you know we we're gonna want them all so just have
them ready at any time we ever done if we're gonna do like
weird things that probably have reasonable explanations but
are just weird maybe have reasonable explanations possibly
are we ever are we ever gonna do that.
What's that girl's name Eliza Lam Lisa yeah yeah yeah yeah
we're gonna do that girl can what is it the fucking girl from
the elevator footage where she's like she was found in the
girl who like the girl is dead and like in the water but she
was found in the yeah but she was sealed in there like there
was no way for her to get in there yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah that's enough yeah that's that's one that that that
only happened a few years ago I remember when like seeing that
I put it for the first time doing what just around the same
yeah that's
the world they made a video game about it and we just got
to hurry up and figure it all out before the aliens come
down what's the postmodern RPG what's it called Lisa yeah yeah
Lisa not Lisa oh why 2k is about that yeah why 2k is like
heavily about that.
What yeah what why 2k is an RPG yeah I'm still fucked me up
because it's very earthbound you right and so I got a code
for it because I was like maybe I'll do like a video on it
or something or stream it and I started playing it and it
asked you for your name at the beginning like earthbound does
or any RPG really and I wrote my main character's name is Alex
yeah I wrote my name is Alex and everybody was like saying
Alex and like speaking the name Alex and I was like oh shit
and then I like a screen cap of the game and it said Alex
in the screen cap and I was like.
Ah like melting down your brain is like my file was called
like true Alex or something like that and I was like what the
man.
