I'm kidding. I'm not a thief anymore. I grew up differently and I had to do certain things. One time I got a tip while I was, it was the only time I ever got a tip at Jason's deli and someone gave me a $20 tip and then apparently the cash, when I checked out at the very end, the cash register for some reason was $15 short and I only got five bucks.

And I've been thinking about it ever since. Or do you like that? Yeah, like 20. I finally get 20 bucks. I had to go off topic. Just because you brought up the tip and I don't know why brought me to like the only see it downtown. But dude, I always go to the same gas station, you know me. And bro, the same guy is there all the time. And it's like he forgets he ever seen me the day before. Like completely and ask me the same question every day. It's just something.

You went on a diet and an exercise kick before the wedding and now it's all just, you Now it's all just coming back. Yeah, let me tell you.

So I was the best man at Rob Turcala's wedding. Rob Turkle being one of the co-founders of Gugan. The guy that truly put it all together with all those guys, he got married. I stood up in his wedding as his best man. What do you have to do with the best man? So traditionally you have to throw a bachelor party, but you know. Did you? No.

I don't know, but I'm 42, man. I'm not going to a fucking strip club. I didn't tell you hands. Whoa, whoa. You don't have to go to a shrimp club. Yes. If you're young enough, like it's cultural things. thing like it's a thing now now i would probably like set it up to where like we go on a fishing

trip to alaska yeah you know what i mean yeah maybe our antarctica look beyond it to see all the other continents that are out there oh i saw that you saw that you saw that shit you and i get fit the same shit yeah i saw that what happened the flat earth thing yeah the flat earth thing i did see that how awesome would that be if that was true the guy who's talking about it like he like he was like condescending towards the camera he was like you got to think if there's continents outside of Antarctica, why haven't we... Wake up. We have to go visit them, and we're not.

I'm like, how are you condescending us? Yeah. For thinking the world's flat. Yeah. Anyway. It could be flat, though. I mean, I believe now. There's too much convincing shit on TikTok, dude.

There's too much sure I'm just like, wait a second. And I rewatch it, and I'm like, wait a second. And then I like, I got to show someone else, see if I'm faded. And then I showed a brand in. It's the worst person to show it to because he's like, what the fuck? And I'm like, oh, my God, this actually could be true. Is there a conspiracy that you like heard and you actually like started to believe it? That's another TikTok.

Yeah. Oh, okay. The moon being fake. Yeah, the moon landing. The moon landing. The moon being fake. The moon being fake. You think it's fake?

I think it's a hollow moon. Okay. Yeah, faded fuck. Watch this fucking TikTok. How simple. Wait, what do you mean is hollow? I mean that there's nothing in it. Did you know that the moon's always, we're always seeing the same side of the moon?

it's always fixed on the earth. Yeah. You knew that? Yeah, you knew that. It doesn't rotate. You can fucking know that. It doesn't rotate on an axis. No.

Okay, like, how are you going to tell me the only people that have seen the other side of the moon are people that have either gone past the moon and looks back or people that have been on the moon? What's on the other side of the moon? It's got to be dark. It's just too sketchy. It's called the dark side of the moon for a reason. They also, when they left the moon, they threw something at the moon and the moon rang like a bell. Like, they left like a seismant, whatever, a side of the moon.

ismitography, whatever. Like, the thing that they have has earthquakes with, and they were trying to see, like, the density of it, or, like, trying to see what the fuck's going on with it. They launched something on it, and it rang like a bell. So they did it again when they went back,

and then they rang like a bell for it. Yeah, like a gong. Or was it like a gong? No, like a bong with like ripples and shit. Which means that there's nothing inside of it, which is like really sketchy. And that's like a real thing. And that's why I'm kind of sketched out.

Man, can you see when the last time it was that we went to the moon? When was the last time a human set? Look up fucking ringing like a gong on the moon. You guys should just watch it yourself and then tell me what you think. Wait, somebody actually like... Let me ask you this. Okay, Hitch. Yeah.

Let me ask you this. Why was December 1972 the last time we as humans were on the moon? Too expensive. Is that it? It's too expensive to go back. There's no point going. Okay, well, let me ask you this. Elon Musk has all the money in the world.

How come he hasn't gone? He's got bigger plans. Like buying Twitter. It's not shit. I was going to save the fucking world, dude. Yeah, facts. Trying to save the world, bro. Wait, the last time we were on the moon was in 1972.

I wasn't even born yet. Me either. Think about that. Wait, that you weren't either? Damn, that was a long time ago. Yeah. Like, really long time ago. Yeah.

I don't get, I don't get offended when people call me old. Yeah, maybe if I look like older than I would, but the fact that I'm just hot, no, I'm good. Matt, look up, look up the moon ring like a gong. That's just. That's the name of a sonnet. the moon rang like a gong. Between 1960s, this is seismometers

installed on the moon by the Apollo mission's recorded moon quakes. The moon was described as ringing like a bell during some of those quakes. Specifically the shallow ones. What? So picture I'm an advanced alien species, and I want to monitor this other species,

see what they're up to. And I don't want them to know. I'm convinced. I'm just going to put a fucking moon there. It's always staring at the planet. sees every part of the planet eventually, right? You had like 24 hours, right? It's going around and everyone gets to see the fucking moon.

And then it's just sitting there. And why it's so bright, by the way? Because it's a fucking, like, it's like a stage light. It's just sitting there just like, no, you guys are good. You guys are you guys? You guys got Wi-Fi now? Dude, it's reflecting. It's reflecting the light off of.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Off of the sun. Wake up. Wake up. It's a spotlight. Wake up. I like that one, though. That one's a good one.

What? You know what I'm saying? The hollow moon alien species are watching us. Okay. Conspiracy. I had I had Okay here we go

What is Here's a Mandela The Mandela effect That I just saw That freaked me out Was what does What does the

What does Okay so there is Snow White And what is the Maleficent? Maleficent Is the The queen?

The dark queen Yeah Yeah Okay Angelina Lee Yeah Well what does she say To the mirror

Mirror on the wall Yeah I know What does it say? This is magic mirror and I think it's cap as well. Yeah. Magic mirror on the wall. Magic mirror on the wall.

There's also a scene in Trek where Lord Farquod says it, and he says mirror mirror mirror on the wall. And that could also be the reason that you're like... But it is mirror mirror mirror on the wall. I thought so, yeah. Yeah, but it's not. It's magic mirror on the wall. The fuck it says magic mirror. The other universe.

The other universe. The moon's not fake, man. But there's another universe. Isn't it the Mandela effect called the Mandela effect? because so many people thought Nelson Mandela had died. Yeah. And then 20 years later, he actually died. He got released, yeah.

Oh, no, no, he got released? He got released, yeah. He was a prisoner of war of son. Prison, yeah, okay. The moon rang like a bill for nearly an hour. Hey, man, there's a thing where people in New York think that the Statue of Liberty was just completely in a different place. You look that on Matt?

Look up, like, Statue of Liberty misplaced. No, no way. That's just way. Swore to God. Like, someone lost it. And you got to, I mean, like, I think it's crazy, too. I'm not an idiot. Like, I'm like, nah, that's brain dead.

But then I watched these things and I'm like, what the hell? Damn, wait. There's like a lot of people saying they remember the statue of living being in a completely different place. What? It's so weird. There's a documentary on Netflix where what's the guy who jumped out of airplane and stole a bunch of money? Oh, DB Cooper. D.B. Cooper.

They think that they found D.B. Cooper. And it's just, and they're just like harassing this one like old dude in Florida. There's a fucking money. You're, you're, you're D. And he was like, I'm not. He's like, but you are. I know. We have all this proof.

He'd be like, all right, I'll take a picture with you, 20 bucks. You want a picture? That's true. They should do that. That's what I would do. If D.B. Cooper got caught, like, hypothetically, he's still alive. And he got caught today. Would he go to prison?

How much money to be able to? For life. He would go to prison? For life, yeah. No. I think at some point, you just get away with it, right? 100%. What is a statute of limitations?

He didn't kill any one? He didn't hurt anyone. What is the statute of limitations, man? The government. I think it's up to the, okay, he's jail. Maybe I'm wrong, but I've read, like, some kid, like, dug up. it was like a kid playing and he found money like around the area

dug up money yeah when are we gonna drop all this and go fucking look for treasure like are you guys trying to make it or not yes like let's go to the fucking I don't know wherever the fuck those like Spanish ships were you know with all the gold like I keep seeing in the movies I'm like this can't I'll just be cap right we gotta go do this wait

okay felony three to five theft of fiduciary okay and then 10 years okay cool I got time I got time I got time I'm gonna fucking rain down hell upon someone. How much money do you get? It was like 250,000, or 250,000, but that was in like the 70s. So like a million?

Oh, 200,000. Yeah, 1.3 million now. Shout out TB Cooper, man. Shout out that guy in Florida. That's DB Cooper for sure. Who is not DB Cooper for sure. How exhilarating must have. Yeah, do you have any, anyone say you believe?

Um, did there's so many, I know, like, I've watched so many, I just... What about you, Matt? You got anything over there that you believe? I've always thought that the Aver-Levin one. The Aver-Levin one is good. She's like a double or some show? Yeah, that she died and got replaced by like a... Those things are always trippy as fuck.

What? I don't think so. Because Ava Levine had, like, she had disappeared for like a year and then came back and she was completely different. It was like a pop star. I forgot who was doing the interview, but they said, Acon's brother used to perform for him. Yeah, I see that shit too. What happened?

So, like, I mean, I believe that kind of shit for sure. The Acon's brother used to do shows for him, like, just in another country. Oh, really? Yeah. I believe that. I mean, if you think about, think about... I would definitely bring people, like, if she died while she was a mega star, like, they'll try to, I could see them trying to slip.

Yeah, she was huge. MF Doom. It's a lot of fucking money. MF Doom famously used to not do his own shows. A lot of people don't do their own shows, dude. Yeah. Because he's just... He was wearing a mask and shirt?

He was wearing a mask? He always had a mask and people would be like, oh, but it's like he's the villain, right? So like isn't that what a villain would do? It's so good. Anyway. People that go to shows and it's not him, they just like it even more. It's like, hell yeah. He got us.

Such a thing. I need to look at the Aver-Levin thing again. But it's also like, because experiences theories are like sad because. Why are they sad? Because like. I think they're fun. they're sad for because like the there's a whole collection of people out there that probably saw this read this wikipedia article and now every time they see ever Levine they bombard her with you're not the real averil you're like you know what I mean like that kind of stuff you got to think about it like how many people actually know her versus the people who have never seen her in person yeah like I can I can tell you if she smiles I can tell you if it's her or not because she had like a little fang fangs things going right I do remember that I do remember that What's this?

When is the conspiracy and not a conspiracy? Birds aren't real. That's my favorite one. Oh, the birds are real. I did just see a TikTok in which there was a bird, like flying upwards like this, just fucking... I never saw a baby pigeon. I'm standing on that.

I swear to God, I'm standing on that. I swear to God, I live in New Jersey. I live in New Jersey. It's pigeon. It's everywhere. Yeah. Never seen a baby one. Never one.

I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you why they are real because I remember in Juarez at El Parque Borunda. There used to be pigeons all over. And then it's in 19. Think about it. 1983. You think they had that technology back in 19803? I really do.

That's light work. That's super light work. Like what? Pigeons being cameras, that'd be so easy. In 1983, internet didn't exist. Spies were thing, weren't they? Spies. Internet didn't exist.

Wireless didn't exist. Batteries. Think about it. That's a lot of jobs, first of all. They're not reviewing all these. The other continents. To the government, like as I'm saying,

like the government, like, in Mexico, okay, okay, like how fast do you think a government got an iPhone compared to the rest of us? How many people, only people working at NASA

had an iPhone before the rest of the population. Okay, okay. So like, just, now back it up, right? They didn't have in decades. Nah, you don't know that.

But the thing is, what is their job? Think about how complex it is. Think of how much it's a camera, there's not someone reviewing each bird. Yeah. Many jobs.

Or they could just train them to like come back and report. and just yeah exactly like didn't they just send owls and shit oh that's Hogwarts you saw the what they said how we supposedly like sent birds over

I forgot what whose nukes and like we're tripping them and shit they were like going crazy ready to like activate we they accused us of sending controlled birds to fly over I forgot I think it was fucking I forgot what it was if you wanted to spy another country you don't send a satellite you just send them much of birds

the fuck you know what I'm saying yeah a fucking parrot in the middle of fucking Russia. Yeah, no one gives a fun of that. Russia is not claiming the U.S. trained birds to deliver Ukrainian bio weapons. Okay. The last little bit. Like that trolley-ass OVO.

The OVO. Why is it an owl? Out of all birds. I think you can actually pack an owl pretty tight with shit. Yeah, people who really used to send, uh, you could pack it. Ravens with notes? Yeah. Yeah.

Hell yeah, definitely did. Not Ravens, doves. Ooh. Dubs was real life. They're definitely they definitely were to do it was it real was that real what should they sent off I'm assuming they thought it was going to go deliver something it just never got oh yeah I'm imagine trying to insure your package and it's I sent that yesterday I didn't get that I sit it with a dove to your house carrier pigeons right yeah carrier pigeons imagine just just imagine you're you're

waiting you're outside of commercially oh look there's a bird hold on what's this should say get the government secrets just like that but like how how how How? How did they... I have to read an article about this. What if you... How did you tape something to a pigeon? What if you only feed it at two spots? Well, you get them from when they're babies.

Only feed it at two locations. Yeah, you feed them at two locations. You only feed it at two locations. And so we feed at this one, you sent him off, and he flies to another one gets fed there. Then he comes back because he's getting fed there. Yeah, that'll be the only little possible way. Is that how? No, they take them from, like, wherever, like, home is for the bird.

They take them from there, bring him to wherever you're going to get messages from. He's not going everywhere. He's not going everywhere. You just hang him out the window while you're driving like, this is the route. You know what I mean? That's how you educated in shit. Look outside. Wait, so...

Yeah, they don't have cars. Just hold his head forward. They have carriages. Oh, yeah. I'm thinking about the car and shit. If you want to ship something, you take the pigeon from where you're going to ship it from or two, and then you go back home and then tape something to it. Well, you wouldn't do that.

Whoever is running the carrier pigeon. the carrier pigeon company would have carrier pigeons here, care pigeons here. Okay, so it would be like a, it would be a delivery of like 30 pigeons. And then if, 50 pigeons. 50 pigeons. The pigeon has a FedEx hat on and shit.

Imagine how like, imagine how expensive it was at first? Do what? How expensive it was to make those outfits, yeah. Selling little pigeon outfits. Imagine the guy pitching this. Yeah. And what years, what years did this happen? Like the, if you hundred.

1980 or something? What? What the fuck? I'm picturing like the 1,300. It's a good callback. A good callback. A hilarious callback. The 12th century?

The 12th century. So in the early 12th 100s. 1620 to 1690. How did painters know that they were good painters back then? It's art. It's appealing. If you put something on paper that looks anything resembling the person, you're like, damn, that's a photographies. Like, was Picasso just like, what do you think?

It's like, that's got. Thank you. Now he's Picasso? You're welcome. You're welcome for this gift. Being Picasso would have been so easy. Super easy. Yeah.

Nowadays, everyone's Picasso. They just don't have the platform he did. That's right. He fucking loves that shit. He's like that. It's a platform. I've heard that word before. I appreciate you.

well, the fuck. One of those motherfuckers is definitely a newfound believer in karma, though, I know that for a fact. In what? In like karma and juju and realizing one of the face people, because they're all forced in there thinking on the plane right home, like, how do we get second four times? It's supposed to be the best call to the roster of all time.

You know, they're like, how do we not get it done? And then one of them's like, I shouldn't have fucking said that. Like, dude, we're not gonna lose this year. or some shit you know. So one of them's thinking it. Yeah. And he's like, I'm just going to be quiet next year.

Yeah. Four second places. That don't make you think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Hope that one of them's a new film believer in fate. Do you hope? So just going forward is the thing to do.

Look. I hope next year there's a Vegas major. There is. Is there? Is there? I don't know. You heard it here first. There's a, man, I don't know.

There's a lot of a big. A lot of a dude. No, what? Yeah, that'd be sick. No, the Aria, SkySweets. Ooh, what the fuck? Oh, with the glass in there? You just got out of Vegas, like that.

Room you got that one time with the balcony and shit. Oh, that's the, that's the, that's the, that's the, that's the MGM. Was it? Yeah, that room was crazy? That was like the nice hotel I've ever seen in my life? Was that when we did the cars thing? Yeah. Oh, that place was sick.

Had a pool table inside? Yeah. Yeah, this guy balls, bro. Yeah. That was way back one, too. This guy balls, bro. You all were watching cars? No, we're driving cars.

driving cars. Or a turtle wax. It was driving from Vegas to Cali together. That was a kind of experience. That was fun. It was fun. It was fun.

Yeah. Well, I guess we could say it now. What? So at the time, Seth wasn't, but me and Mike were smoking, remember in the car? Oh yeah. Go-go. It was five, you're good. Yeah, you're good.

And, bro, right? So, Seth was like, you know how Seth is the whole time? Like, scared to tell. Like, oh my God. Oh my God. So, bro, as we're driving to the, like, we're going to, like, the border of Vegas and California. And there's like, I see, like, people, like, letting cars go by, some cars pulling over. Oh, it's like, oh, no.

I'm like, no. Seth was freaking out. I'm like, oh, my God. Bro, as we're getting closer, they just go. We just drive right through. After that, we stopped that to get food. Seth was out. Next car, he's out.

That was too close for him. Bro, Seth was texting me from Hawaii. And I was just like, I'm like, yo, just enjoy your fucking vacate. And he's just talking, talking work, like, content and like what is planning. So I'm like, yo, I'm like, yo, just go to bed. It's all good. And don't worry about the volcanoes. That's so bad.

I had to throw that shit in there. That's so. I don't get, don't get scared if the volcano starts burping or something. Yeah, I'm like, because I talk to, I don't know why, but I always talk to him. Like, he's a fucking baby. and I'm like, I'm like, if you see the, if you hear the volcano burping, don't worry about it. Unless it's throwing up gooey, orangey stuff.

He's like, you're fucked up. And I'm like, if you hear a rumbling, don't panic. Just look outside, look above. If you see anything coming towards you, like, that's what you do. Because you know, he would let it go and be like, you're dumb. And they're going to be quiet and they're like, are there really volcanoes? Wait, wait, there are really volcanoes here? Here?

Oh, no, there is. He even said it. There are all the islands are volcanoes. That might be wrong. And there's a lot there, though. They only formed because of volcanoes. I think there's something to do with like Hawaii volcanoes. All the islands are actually volcanoes or some shit.

I don't want no parts in that. You think the people from Pompeii knew that like that show was going to happen? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the thing is, is like that dude was jerking off. Like, come on, dude. Legend. Like, you know what the fuck was going on.

Yeah, he's like, the earth started rumbling, fire started, started, fall, from the sky. He's like, oh my guys, the best. What the fuck? I'm the best. I'm the best. I'm the best. Bro, he says, I'm like, I'm going, I'm going sleepy in the safety of Frisco, Texas.

He's like, enjoy. Hopefully Moana Loa stays asleep. What the fuck? Moana Loa. Yeah, his volcano. Oh, man. I forgot there was a dude. That was, dude, and imagine that's how you go out and then 300,000.

300 years later, they find your fossil. Yeah. Of you just went down like... And he's like this. He had a fucking hammer. You got a picture there, man? Of type in Pompeii jerk off. Yeah, type in Pompeii.
