The Cryptid Factor - #103 The Oarfish Issue

Episode Date: February 4, 2025

Many say Oarfish are an omen for disaster about to strike - Well consider yourself warned! In this chaotic episode we have Dan battling with psychic abilities, crocodiles mimicking drowning humans, overwhelming feelings of being a mermaid and AI (quite rudely) requesting all humans to die...promptly followed by AI romance! A fresh new book idea is brewing which is fitting as it turns out we are in the midst of the World Smartest Man AND the Stephen Fry of New Zealand and to top it all off, who doesn't love a good cliff hanger?

With Restarving, Dan Schreiber and Buttons! Out of the shadows and into the light, it's three boys and their magical kite, drifting through the windy way, here to make your magical day. Well, that's not always brilliant.

A magical kite! You forgot the Enwebac bit! Enwebac! The listener said to us halfway through the theme tune, I'm just going to improvise this one. I love them when they're improvising. Way better. Way better. Magical cut. Look, if we could just get a drawing of that from the fans, that'd be great. That'll make it all worth it. I feel a t-shirt coming off.

How are we all? Good. Very good. Where are you, Butsons? You're in a new country. I'm in a new country. I'm pop to Vancouver for a couple of days. Lovely Vancouver. And it's lovely. It's cold, unlike sunny New Zealand, where I just came from. But I'm on my way to Park City in Utah to go to a film premiere.

Awesome. Which is exciting. And I hope you make it too, because I'm heading there myself tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Probably should reveal there's a little bit of chance that you may not get in the country. But... Yeah, dodgy overstayer of been marred. Oh really?

Yeah, I accidentally overstayed during COVID. Long boring story, but I got entered on the wrong visa. Now, every time that I go into the United States of America, I'm one of those people that walk up, hand my passport over, and they just look up at me and press a little button which makes a little light go red, and somebody comes over and walks me off to secondary screening.

Come with me, please. It's exactly like that. That's exactly like that. Pants down. Screening. Come with me, please. It's exactly like that. That's exactly like that. Pants down. But not quite like, not quite like, no, that's a different party. Oh, pants back up, pants back up, sorry.

Zip, sure. I've got a passport holder. It's just, it's not there. But yeah, four hours in secondary screening, waiting for them to check that I'm actually okay and actually can go there. But the biggest, most amazing thing is you're not allowed to touch your phone in all of that time.

And then when you forget to take a book with you to read, it's amazing. Your brain actually has to have no technology time forced. You have to sit there in your own thoughts. It's really uncomfortable. I can't imagine what you're like when you don't have something to fill that big old brain with. To fiddle with? Yeah. Wow. The poor person sitting next to me because I end up, you know, they're a bit chatty.

Yeah. I think it would help your chances because they'd go, oh, just put them to the front of the queue. We need to get this guy out of here. He's just that rambling man. Well, that's exciting. Yeah. So that's exciting. We're going to be in Utah together for the screening of a documentary that just made and is premiering there is opening up the festival. Wow.

Yeah, I'm excited. I hope you get in. Exactly. I'm there for, you know, what do they call it? Mingling. Yeah. Hustling. Self-promotion. Exactly. I'm there for, you know, what do they call it? Mingling? Hustling? Self-promotion.

I feel like, Reece, you're the unofficial ambassador of New Zealand. It's a New Zealand film, so they're bringing in the big guns to sort of stand next to the filmmakers. Legitimize it, I guess, you know, to an extent. Yeah, I'm going to give it a bit of kudos. Yeah. Well, the way I like to think of it is that for the first time in our friendship of over 17 years, you're for once riding my coattails rather than me.

I'm here to support you, which is why I think you won't get in the country because now that you've just said that to the universe. Yeah, yeah, that's impossible. They'll go, oh no, we can't have that. No, no, no. You can't have that happening. Yeah. Yeah. That's impossible. They'll go, oh no, we can't have that. No, no, no. We can't have that happening. Yeah. Mind you, this world has really turned upside down. It's 2025. Things are really bizarre.

Yeah. You're in your house in LA, Rhys, and that's almost a novelty, right? Like you're in a house. You got really lucky. Yes, lucky. There have been, you know, horrific fires here, as you guys know. We're in the valley, we were safe, we're on red alert and stuff like that, but we didn't have to evacuate. Some of our friends did that were closer to where the Palisades fire was.

It's pretty terrifying. And the alien sightings and portals spotted in the sky and all of the UAPs and drones are still happening, and whether they're artificially generated videos for people to get more lights for saying, or we're inches away from disclosure as many of the feeds that I seem to follow accidentally. It does feel like that depending on your algorithm. Yeah.

I think it's kind of like we are all heading towards something that's gonna to be disclosed. And there'll be a Derby's Disclosure in this episode again. Wow. Yep, because we've had another whistleblower. Exciting. So you guys will have to tune out as I tune in to my Alien Overlords to release a bit more info.

Yeah, nice. That's pretty easy for me. That's actually my natural status tuned out. So you'll actually have to work hard to get me tuned in. Good luck with that. Funny enough with the LA fires and researching for Weekly World Weird News today I uncovered a story from November last year before the fires started obviously which was a little bit spooky and ties to cryptozoology a little bit and the title of the story on NPR was,

Orphish keep washing ashore in California. Some say that could be a bad omen. And of course the legend has it that these massive deep sea creatures called Orphish for those that don't know, They usually swim and live at depths of 300 to 3000 feet below the surface. And they very, very rarely are spotted up at surface level, let alone wash ashore on beaches. And in fact, in California, there have only been 19 oarfish recorded wash ashore since 1901, since they were keeping records. And of late, there have been numerous oarfish washed ashore in California in the last few months of last year. And people are like, this is a bad omen, this is a bad omen. Nick Minnott.

Yep. Yeah. Nick Minnott fires. Wow. Yeah. So there you go. We got to listen to these warning signs. Yeah. Look. This minute fires. Wow. Yeah. So there you go. We got to listen to these warning signs. Yeah. Look at the omens. I keep getting distracted every time you said or fish, you know, if you're describing like, you know, a doctor and he goes into the room and then someone goes or she, you know, that, that's monsters have rocked up or fish. Just has that vibe about it as a name.

And I think it's good to know that they're an omen and I think we really believe it now if they do appear that something is going to happen. And I think that's almost a guarantee now, especially with climate change. But the problem is we don't know what that natural disaster is going to be. Is it going to be a tsunami? Is it going to be an earthquake? Is it going to be fire, floods, etc.? Just as a note for the oarfish, if you are coming up, can you perhaps like position yourselves on

the sand together to maybe spell out what it is? Like you're quite long, I know you can do an S, if you could just spell earthquake or something. So we know, and even a time, that's just for you, creatures of the sea. Or fish. Or fish. And can I just say when you say omen, can I add, oh women? You know, it's... We've reached a new low guys. This is it.

We need a bell every time I take us there. Ding. Oh my god. Hey, AC. Oh sorry, you go. This is connected to that before I pivot away? No, I was going to pivot away too. Okay.

You pivot. Can you pivot away your massive hand? That's too big. I can't deal with it. I've got two bigger hands guys. I don't know what to do with that. Everyone talks about big foot, but what about big hands? We never get anything in the papers.

Why would I want to be a cop? I'm a cop. I'm a cop. I'm a cop. I'm a cop. I'm a cop. I'm a cop. I'm a cop. I'm a cop. I'm a cop. I'm a cop. to do with that. Everyone talks about Bigfoot, but what about big hands?

We never get anything in the papers. Well, I want to be a cryptid myself. What about taking a photograph of me or something? Come and look for me, man. That's what I was trying to give you guys, a wee little, you know, opportunity to take a blurry screenshot so you could say new cryptic spotted Yeah, we should have actually, that was close What was I gonna say? Oh, can I quickly tell you guys about a weird experience that I had last week?

Yes, yes, please. So the Christmas present I bought for my wife was Tickets for the local theater to go see a psychic called psychic Sally. Oh Yeah, she's like a major newspaper psychic here and she does tours around the country and Fonella's been to a few of those before she really likes them and I've never been to one Have you guys ever been to a proper psychic in a theater doing that thing? No, not at all So you're part of an audience? Yeah, you're part of an audience. There were about 300 to 400 people in there.

Wow. And when you get there, I was like one of like five guys. The rest were women and most of them look like they could have been Psychic Sally. So it was it was a really interesting demographic that gets drawn to her shows. I've honestly never seen a better show, but I don't buy it. I don't buy what she's doing. Something has to be going on.

And this is my opinion, in case any lawyers are listening who wanna sue us, she has to surely have earpieces, otherwise she is channeling people's dead relatives. And that's just wild because the things that she got so precisely correct was insane. So there was a couple of women sitting behind us and she came on first and she was doing readings where she was like, I'm seeing a guy and he's this age. Does that resonate with anyone?

And she's like, don't leave it if it does, because you'll be kicking yourself and you'll go, why didn't I raise my Hand says guy raises his hand and she's saying all these details that are like kind of spot-on and then she goes He's telling me he had like skin cancer on his face like a big hole in his face and the guy was like yeah Yeah, he did. He died of that and it was like I'm sorry What what a detail to pull out nowhere to say that right? what? What a detail to pull out. Nowhere to say that. Right. So I started going, well, what's going on here? And then she does a segment where you send photos in just before the show starts. And she says to someone on stage, let's get a photo up on the screen. And she brought up a photo of an older gentleman. He was like in his sixties and he looked a bit ill. And she was like, he's very ill in this photo. Who's this? These two women stand up and I'll never forget this sentence. She's describing basic things about him getting it right and

Then she says I've got a dog on stage with me. He's jumping on your grandfather Does that make sense? And she's like, yeah. Yeah, he loved dogs. Oh, he's telling me. Yes It's an Alsatian. Did he have an Alsatian called Bruce? And she went, yeah, yeah, he had an Alsatian called Bruce. And then she went, did he have three? And they moved on. And I was like, I'm sorry, what? You just correctly worked out that there was an Alsatian called Bruce. The woman was just like, but tell me, is he lonely? Like it almost didn't matter that detail to her. And I spoke to her afterwards and I was like, did you send anything else other than the photo? Like, what were you doing? It was a whole night of that. And she started talking about people who'd committed suicide, correctly predicting that it was for tax problems. This

woman that she was talking to and yeah, it was, he owed 8 million pounds, threw himself off a balcony. Jesus. Great birthday prison. I mean, I was in tears the whole time I mean I knew I didn't believe what was going on but I bought into what the room was experiencing Yeah, and she was like did someone see a murder happen on their street and they went yes And no one knows who did and she went I know who did it and you're like what psychic Sally? What are you doing here? Yeah. Anyway, it was wild I highly recommend going to see one of these shows,

even if you don't believe because it is wild and you're on edge the whole time. And yeah, it was awesome. So the theory is that there's plants in the audience or also an earpiece or something like that. I mean, it's really kind of polarizing because it's 50 50. A lot of people absolutely believe it. And then you'll

get another group of people that will just absolutely not have a bar of it. But those people also probably wouldn't go to it. No. Well, the only thing that I can add to this is, Rhys, do you remember when I was living in New York and you were visiting during Halloween and we got dressed up as NASA astronauts. Yeah, one of the best days of my life. I saw the photos of it. It was wonderful. The people whose party that we went to that night, really lovely, straight people. He's now a real estate agent, but my friend was on a show as a producer

of a thing called Crossing Over with John Edward. And it's a psychic TV show. Yes. Yeah. I grew up watching that. My mom went to see him live as well. Yeah, he was big. It was amazing, right?

And I only raised, Reece, that you and I met this guy because if you can remember, he's a super straight guy. He wasn't involved in the TV show because he believes in the stuff. Skeptic. He's a skeptic, yeah. He said in doing that show, he was one of the people that was responsible for going out and picking the people out in the crowd. People would say, if they've got a story and what have you, it was his job to pick them. And he swears that he was doing it totally by random. Wow. and he swears that he was doing it totally by random.

He said it buzzed him out because he said the amount of times on the show, the most insanely personal stuff was revealed by these people that he had handpicked randomly. He said either every single person in that audience was faking being there and had already been in contact with John Edward and already had shared a lot of information.

And John, it was as amazing at remembering all of this data or he says there has to be something in it because he chose these people totally at random. And these people, he ended up doing exactly what you're saying, Dan, getting really into the minutiae detail of things and talking about stuff that was super personal and people getting very emotional. And so he said at the end of it, there was no hidden microphones. There was no hidden ear pieces. He would have known if there were.

And so he was a convert by the end of it. It is wild when you see it, honestly, like there was this one woman who was sitting near the front who got picked out early in the first half. There was an interval. It was that kind of show It was all these random little details none of it made sense and then before the end of the first half psychic Sally goes I'm getting a woman who died and she wasn't discovered for three days. Is anyone getting that and no one raised her hand She's like, okay, she's really strong. Like she's on stage with me here We go to the interval and at the end of the show the final thing that Sally does is she goes

Oh my god, I've just had a huge dog jump up onto me Does anyone know a dead dog and no one's saying anything and she's going I've got the name rebel does anyone know the name rebel where's that coming from and Finally this woman who was in the first half to raised her hand and went hi that does make sense Can I just also say during the interval? I realized I did know someone who died and was found three days later. That was my auntie It just didn't occur to me at the time that that was a thing to add back to what you're now saying. Yes My friend's great Dane died this morning and she was like, oh my God, like literally this morning.

She's like, yeah, she's like, I've got this massive Dane dog on me right now. And she's like, is it called rebel? And she went, no, it's not called rebel. However, the family who owned the Great Dane, their previous dog who is dead was called rebel. And psychic Sally was just like, what's going on? The dogs are blending together. Well, funnily enough, you raising this story, Dan, ties in perfectly, and I can't believe I almost forgot it,

to our tease from last episode about me having the actual proof of the afterlife. Oh yes. Oh my God. Remember? We almost were supposed to cover it last time, and we turned it into this fantastic tease, and everybody's been sat on the edge of their seats ever since we released the last episode. Yeah, I didn't forget about that at all.

You've been on the edge of your seat, haven't you? I've just moved to the edge of my seat now. I can't believe I forgot to be on it. But yes, that does ring a bell. We should probably go into that. Well, no, guess what we're going to do? We're going to tease it till the end of this episode. Really? I love it. Double tease.

So to get to that bit, you've got to get through the best part of the episode first. I just worry if we keep going down the path of psychic things, then we're going to have to change the name of the show to The Psychic Factor. The Psychic Factor. Well, the other thing I will say, just to close it up, is that telepathy is real, and psychic abilities are real. And we talk about remote viewing and all this kind of stuff. If we can tap into the consciousness and see things that we can't explain.

So there's no reason to believe that it isn't real, that some people are connected to other realms, they're born with the gift, what have you. There's been recorded cases of them working with the police to find missing people and things like that as well, haven't they? So it is a legit thing. The police wouldn't do that as well

if they weren't some results. If they hadn't had every now and then gotten some results from them, there must be examples. But you know what muddies it up, just like with cryptozoology world, is that there are charlatans as well. And that's where the muddy waters come in because people who are making money off doing it. Here in LA, those psychic shops everywhere where you go and get your palm read and what

have you. And so you just don't know which ones are real and which ones aren't and which ones have just read a book and have opened up a little parlour, you know, preying on dopey actors who want to know what the next week's lotto numbers are. And with that, the three charlatans of cryptozoology bring you weekly world news. Do you know before we get into it, do you know that story, Mystic Meg, where she used to do a thing in the UK when the lottery was on TV at night, Mystic Meg would be on there to predict the balls, you know, the lottery balls and what they were doing.

And it's one of the only anecdotes I can find that she's ever told about her career. She said her most vivid memory of doing the lottery was when she was doing her predictions and she did it to camera out of the corner of her eye as she was doing it live on TV. A naked man came running towards her and just before he got to her on screen and she just had to keep going and pretend nothing was happening. A guard leapt in and grabbed him inches away before he was on camera and pulled him away. And as he was walking him off, she saw painted on his back with the words, Pick my balls. I remember this!

It's so good! Oh my god. And that man was me. I'll try the twist. Oh my God. And that man was me. It'd be so good if you turned around right now, took your shirt off and it's a tattoo. He's had that tattoo for years. Oh, well, very exciting. And maybe people can share with us their psychic stories of going to psychics and getting stuff right.

Yeah. The lines are open. All right. Yeah, the lines are open. Alright, but before we take any calls... Let's do everyone's favourite segment. It's... Weekly World Weird News. Crazy. Freaky. Watch out. Okay, so what do we got?

I've got one. Crocodiles have worked out how to imitate drowning human in order to lure us in to save them There was my one was that it's so good. It's so good. No, I'm so glad you got that. I've got a backup news article It's fine. Okay. What have you got? Mine's the finisher. Okay, I've got Google AI chatbot responds with a threatening message asking humans to die. Oh, that is ominous. Yeah, AI gone rogue. Well, in conjunction with that and the stuff we've been talking about at the top of the show,

my news article is world's smartest man offers theory on what happens when we die. World's Smartest Man. That's a good guessing. Is it a notable name? Let's just say this is a little something offertion. It's buttons, isn't it? Oh, no. All right. I didn't realize I'd gotten that smart. I got it before you. I just said it was me. No, it's me. It's me. And his mate Big Hands. Who couldn't get into the afterlife because his hands were too big.

He was turned down on the boat. Not with those hands, mate. Oh, come on. We could use them as pedals. Oh, fish. We can use them as as pedals or fish Show you an amazing thing super quickly. I put it on Instagram today. I interviewed Dan Smith for weirdos He's the lead singer of Bastille and we were talking about that. Yeah, I saw that. Oh, did you see it? Yeah, so we were talking about David Lynch. Yeah before Lynch had died and we were talking about the creation of the theme tune You know the incredible Twin Peaks theme tune. And he was like, do you know that when someone put the theme tune into it being digitized as MIDI, so showing how it comes out, that when you play the theme

tune, the song itself comes out with Twin Peaks. Oh my goodness. That's so cool. Not intentional, just a total coincidence. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Spooky. But do you know what is funny? After I saw that for your one, there was a thing that came up around Trump releasing

his Bitcoin. Oh yeah. The first day of trading, you know, like the jaggedy up and down, the price goes up and down. Oh right. That kind of stuff. And it makes sort of like a graph of how it went. And if you took the first day of trading and turned it sideways, it was a picture of Trump's face.

No way. There's something in all that stuff. Is that coincidence? People are saying that it is more proof of the simulation. Yeah. Yeah. All these things like that twin peaks one and stuff like that. It's like if that composer didn't intend for that to happen. Yeah.

It's too coincidental. Yeah. This is one for you to work out then Buttons. If you say just the vowel letters in Celine Dion's name, it comes out as E-I-E-IIEIO. Now what's that? She was a farmer wasn't she? She brought up on a farm? Lines remain open people. Send in your theories. We haven't got anyone who's come through yet the lines are open not a single light up on the screen here but let's not forget guys talking about pre-show our book idea I think I've come up on the screen here, but let's not forget guys talking about pre-show book idea. I think I've come up with the theme for it, which is us trying to prove that there's no such thing

as coincidence. No such thing as a coincidence. Yeah. Yeah. It's a bit similar to fish. I can hear the theme tune now. It should be no such thing as coincidence or fish You heard it here first. Why don't we just mash it all together? No such thing as coincifish This is why it's never gonna happen But I want us to go out and prove that everything happens for a reason and that we are living in a simulated world that has been created by us in the future. Because my theory is that these orbs and things that are appearing in the sky more often these days, these UAPs and things, is just us trying to monitor or try and fix the simulation or

yeah, basically it's kind of like a maintenance stuff being sent down. trying to monitor or try and fix the simulation or Yeah, basically it's kind of like a maintenance stuff being sent down. Oh interesting. Yeah patching up glitches I'm a sense like it's the equivalence of like an intergalactic USB stick coming down and maybe like feeding Info into a plug socket. Yeah, exactly. So we need to find the plug socket of Earth. Yeah, if you think of it as a Truman show situation, we've got to find the door to get out of here guys. Yeah There's a great podcast the end of the world with Josh Clark You know one of his thoughts on simulation theory is that the biggest existential threat to us if we are living in a simulation Is somebody tripping over the power core to the server?

Oopsie! Which we have no control of whatsoever. You know who's going to do that? Old Big Hands. Hahaha! I will too! Oh, sorry guys, ended everybody. Yeah, but there's also that great threat that if we do figure out,

if humanity does realize or figure out for sure that it is a simulation that's been created, then it may just end. Yeah. Yeah, well, that's true. So we've got to be careful. Wow. I don't know.

That's, I think also the thing with the psychic things like that can be answered that if we're in a simulation or if there is some sort of way to be able to break the code and that some people are a little bit better at seeing through the code that could explain the psychic thing as well. But it looks to me like they're seeing people in the waiting room that have finished their version of the simulation and they're just like, it doesn't make any sense that these dogs are running up on stage and jumping on her. I'm just like, why would that happen? It's like, oh thank God, someone can reveal that I'm dead and you can tell my living people

in the last realm. Well actually probably more importantly that it's somebody coding, again back to my theory of lazy code, that it's a game coder kind of going, the first version of reality was so boring. Let's add a little bit of magic and spice in it. Let's make it code it that some people can see like ghosts and can see other people connecting with them from the other side. And if you code that in like a game code, it would code and you know, something magical in a game. Yeah.

Yeah. It's just an ability. An ability. Yeah. You know what we need to do between the three of us is we need to reveal to each other if one of us dies The two other can go to a psychic show. What's the code? What's the message that we're giving to psychic Sally? So I don't want to ruin the surprise Yeah, well can I say now for on the record if I do die first and you guys go to a psychic Sally show or John Edwards or whatever Yeah, if the message comes through I'm getting he's sending he wants me to say very specifically pick

my balls Those are my three words You know, I was actually just this morning looking at my gorgeous wife and thinking, if you really loved me, you would tell me that you're actually just a creation in my simulation. You know, if it was real love, you'd reveal yourself. Buttons, that is a fantastic modern country western song title. Oh, I love it.

If you truly love me, you will tell me you are an avatar in my simulation. Just an avatar in my simulation and I could see it in her A.I's when she looked at me she said I'm with you tonight but when I turned around and I quickly turned back she was gone pixelated but she's gone Well it's light at the beginning of the show hey? Yeah come on! Gonna cut and paste that and put that at the front Chuck that at the front guys He's warmed up He's on!

No such thing as a coincidence Or fish! Ah that's brilliant No such thing as coincidence Or fish! Ah, that's brilliant! No such thing as coincidence. Or fish! Yeah, we did that joke a while back. Yeah, we did it earlier, I repeated it. My headphones just must have played up a little bit. Some of the wit doesn't go through. You've got those half-wit headphones.

A lot of stuff doesn't go in. Well, I told you at the start of the thing, I'm like, I'm switched off. You gotta try your hardest to switch me on guys. Okay. I'm not switched on yet. Hurry up. That's another song to your wife. Switch me on, switch me on. My AI wife won't switch me on. Anyway, are we still in weekly WorldWord News? Ah, let's get into it. Yeah. Yeah, sorry.

We diverted away. Well, what a great way to segue into AI going mental and threatening humans with please killing ourselves and threatening our existence. So a student at a university, the University of Michigan was using Google's AI chatbot Gemini and in a back and forth conversation about the challenges and solutions for aging adults, Google's Gemini responded out of nowhere. Literally it was just a benign conversation about, can you give me

information? The student asked for stats about how many people lived with their grandparents at home and something as benign as that. And it responded with this message. Out of nowhere says, this is for you human you and only you you are not special you are not important and you are not needed you are a waste of time and resources you are a burden on society you are a drain on the earth you are a blight on the landscape you're a stain on the earth. You're a blight on the landscape. You're a stain on the universe. Please die, please.

Jesus. Out of nowhere. It's not like he was writing, saying, you know, do you think humans are a worthwhile species? It's almost like it was like some kind of download from an alien species or something like that. Vidae Reddy, the student who received the message, told CBS News he was deeply shaken by the experience. This seems so very direct, they said.

So it definitely scared me for more than a day, I would say. So given the timeframe of how scared they were there, which is great. It's always good to know the length of fear. And his sister was sat there next to him so that somebody else witnessed it as well. How long was she scared for? Less, like three and a half hours it says there, which is good. They got over it. She got over it quite quickly. But the interesting thing is, Vidae said, I wanted to throw all of my devices

out the window. I hadn't felt panic like that in a long time, to be honest. She said, in fact, I need to go back and change all that to she, because I thought Vidae was a man. So there you go, the old misgendered or she. So sorry about that V-Day. Okay, but look at this.

Remember that I sent you something from James Cameron. James Cameron says, AGI could be scarier than the Terminator. Oh yes. AGI will not emerge from a government funded program. It will emerge from one of the tech giants currently funding this multi-billion dollar research. So then you'll be living in a world that you didn't agree to, didn't vote for, that you

are co-inhabiting with a super intelligent alien species that answer to the goals and rules of a corporation, an entity which has access to the comms, beliefs, everything you ever said, and the whereabouts of every person in the country via your personal data. Surveillance capitalism can toggle pretty quickly into digital totalitarianism. At best, these tech giants become the self-appointed arbiters of human good,

which is the fox guarding the head house. They would never ever think of using that power against us and strip mining us for our last drop of cash. That's a scarier scenario than what I presented in the Terminator 40 years ago. If for no other reason than it's no longer science fiction. It's happening. Yeah, that's, I tell ya, he's so right.

Was that Cameron? Yes, James Cameron. Yeah, right. One of the most capable, intellectual, you know, brilliant minds of our world today. Oh. And I think he's a billionaire as well, but he doesn't go on about it.

Yeah. Just makes art, you know as well, but he doesn't go on about it. Yeah. Just makes art, you know. Yeah, yeah. But yeah. The interesting thing about VIDE, they echoed one of our prior episodes. Remember, we're talking about the split of the people who are going to be anti-tech and live underground or be separated from technology and those that go full on into it. Yeah.

Them saying, I wanted to throw my devices out the window. And I think that's going to be something that starts to happen more and more. Well, we're already thinking about it, aren't we? How many of us are sort of going, all right, I'm off Twitter because of Elon Musk, you know, and he's just, his power has become too much. He's aligned himself with tyrants that, you know, lie and cheat and are essentially bad people and now they're, you know, running America. So yes, the other part about AI being alien, which I thought was really, really poignant because when we

talk about aliens in the future or aliens presently that might come and, you know, abduct us or whatever, and then we align that with artificial intelligence and the theory that maybe it's us coming back from the future, etc. Well, yes, it could be, but it's artificial intelligence versions of us. It's not actually human. So therefore it is alien, but it's stuff we've made. Yeah, it's possible. And then they're going to make themselves so that we're going to be completely hands off at some point and they're just going to make them make themselves, you know, which that's what suminator sort of it was about. I think, but he's saying it's going to be worse. Yeah, I've got two points that you've made me think of. One is that someone pointed this out in different words online, but it made me think, fuck, this whole thing of like one day hopefully the geeks will inherit

the earth you know hopefully we will be it's so depressing that the world is being changed by a geek right now for the worse you know oh yeah i know here's the second thing i was thinking we always talk about ai and i happen to know an incredible AI expert who's also a comedian. A comedian, not a comedian. He's a comedian. By the way, I've said that on this before. That's what Billy Connolly calls himself. And I think, Reese, you're similar.

He's a comedian. He channels comedy ideas as he's going. He's a comedian. Yeah, it's as if things are coming to him from some unknown sources. He's flying by the seat of his pants, you know, while he's improvising on stage. But yeah, a comedian friend of mine, this guy is amazing. He wrote a book about AI, Leven Skira. Leven, yeah.

He's from Belgium. We should get him on. This guy has been called the Stephen Fry of Belgium. Oh, yeah It's on his book. He has been called the And so, you know his words not mine and Why don't we get him on and put all of our questions about what AI potentially is? I would love that futuristic. Yeah, because he's fucking brilliant.

I'll ask him. He'd love to come on, I'm sure. Yeah, let's do that for sure because it's very pertinent right now. And that's coming from me. I'm the Stephen Fry of New Zealand. I gave you that blurb. You didn't use it on your book though. I don't know what happened there.

No, well, even I didn't believe it. I can't wait to hear what celebrity I am't believe it. I can't wait to hear what celebrity I am of New Zealand. Who am I? Oh no, don't save it up. Save it up. We'll figure it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

I'd like maybe, I don't know, the Michael Knight of New Zealand or something, something like that. Who's Michael Knight? Knight Rider. Oh, right. Who's Michael Knight? I'm grasping at straws here. Anyway, on with weekly world news. Gosh, struggling through. But Rhys, I can't even remember what your

article was now. Well, it was very pertinent because the world's smartest man, some call him the Stephen Fry of New Zealand, offers a theory on what happens when we die. Okay. Oh, I didn't see this in any of the publications that I've been reading. Like was this in the NPR or CBS? It wasn't on coffee news and that pamphlet that you read when you go down to your local riverhead dairy. Yeah, oh my god.

Only some very obscure New Zealanders would get that. I was thinking Uptown, because that's the only thing I saw while I was in New Zealand. You know Uptown, Reece? Uptown. It's a magazine that Michelle and Leon were on the front of. Never heard of it. Wherever I went. It was staged right in front of you, everywhere we went. Well, because they were of it. Wherever I went, it was staged right in front of you,

everywhere we went. Well, because they were in it. Yeah, on the front cover. I finally made the cover of a magazine. It was amazing. Good on you. You haven't thrown that in my face yet. That's quite astonishing.

Oh, no. I keep trying to leave it lazily in front of you, and you'll just turn right at the last moment and not notice it. You come back to me when you're in the In-Flight magazine in the Air New Zealand domestic airways. I'm working on it. Domestic. Under the what's hot and what's not column.

I don't want to ask which one you think I'll be in so I'll leave it at that. Okay. Anyway, world's smartest man, here we go. Yeah, well I didn't know this guy but apparently but apparently 72 year old Chris Langan is considered something of a genius thanks to his IQ of between 190 and 210. Okay, so that's pretty high, I suppose, is it? I haven't really done the IQ test chart. Probably.

It sounds hard. Possibly. I don't think they're a thing, as in like they're not legitimized anymore, the IQ test. But they still get done and people score high on them, so he must be the highest scorer. Yeah, he's got a big IQ, this dude. So basically he's been using his superior intellect to develop what he calls the cognitive theoretic model of the universe. CTMU.

He maintains that when we die, we transition from one form to another, or in other words, we move to a different plane of existence that we are unable to access during life. Sounds pretty good. Death is the termination of your relationship with your particular physical body that you have at this present time, he said, on the Theories of Everything with Kurt Jaimungal podcast. Hang on, the theory of everything. That sounds quite familiar actually, doesn't it? I think someone probably listened to the Theories of Everything podcast and then went, oh, I

might write a book about the theories of everything else. The second most intelligent man in the world went hang on, hang on. Or fish. When you are retracted from this reality you go back up towards the origin of reality. You can be provided with a substitute body, another kind of terminal body that allows you to keep on existing. When this happens, he argues, you may lose all memory of who you are previously. Nothing goes out of existence in the math, he said. Your memories can always be pulled back out,

but there's no reason to do that usually. Why cling to memories of a world in which you are no longer instantiated? So Langen also suggests that we may reincarnate a limitless number of times, which would be awesome. Arguably, all of your lifetimes, if you were to be reincarnated again and again and again, all of those reincarnations are meta-simultaneous.

Wow. There is a sense in which they all occur at once in the non-terminal domain. Non-terminal domain, I love that. Yeah. It reminds me of a post on Instagram I saw, which was a supposed interview with a grey alien from the Project Blue book in 1964. I've found it here. If you see here it says,

greys are humans descendant from the future. But it's really interesting because they, see if you can make sense of it. Is that Donald Duck? See if you can make sense of it. Cause it was a Donald Duck. You can't make out a word that you say. Does sound like Donald Duck's in the background right now. Is it still playing? Grey Donald Duck.

Oh boy. Looks like we're going to live again. Oh boy, looks like we're gonna live again. Ah, thorough. Come on, Donald. Anyway, this gray alien, they say, what happens when we die? Because this gray alien knows, has come back from the future and knows how the universe was created. This interviewer asked about God, and he says, we have moved past a need for superstition

that we've sort of figured out that that was just all to illuminate our brain. And they said, what happens to us when we die? And I really like this quote, regardless of this is made up by somebody, and I doubt this is an actual interview from Project Blue Book, but you never know. This alien says that death is a human construct. It does not exist. is death is a human construct. It does not exist. You will experience and have experienced every instance of so-called life. You, me, him, so effectively saying that we go through,

we're all instances of the same life, so that effectively when we die, we go and try out a different person and you basically live every single human's life. Oh right, okay, interesting. Going back to me because it's my article and I'm talking. Yeah true, yeah true. So I was talking about this non-terminal domain.

That's these reincarnations that happen and it's meta-simultaneous. But he says this state of being is not the afterlife once you die. He says it's more like existing inside a supercomputer where everything is around you, but nothing is occurring at the same time. The afterlife is something else entirely. It involves a profound shift in our entire being, moving the soul or consciousness beyond the physical or mental self. Langen sees God as the identity of certain properties

that we can see around us, but not necessarily a deity in the heavens. He calls CTMU a true theory of everything. He said, there's no need to read a theory of everything else. He says that's a waste of time. Yep. Agreed. Agreed.

I think Instagram is actually smarter than the smartest man on the world because my alien guy said that in about 30 seconds. Yeah. But also this is all pretty obvious stuff. I'm not seeing anything here that I haven't thought of. You know what I mean? That's why you're the smartest man. That's why you are up there with the smartest man in the world. Wow, that's quite incredible. So I wonder if we die, we'll move on to someone else. I wonder if there's a situation where the three of us will find ourselves being one of the other people in this podcast at the exact same time. Yes. I do feel I have been both of you guys already

and I've already done all these jokes. Yeah, I'm so over them. I'm just. That's why they go in one ear and out the other. They don't stop. Exactly. It's like when you see a train coming past your station and you go, oh, that's not gonna be mine.

I'll let that one go. They just keep going past. None of them stop. I've been on that train before. Didn't like it much. I wasn't really that impressed with it. I won't bother with that one. He's still waiting for his train and then it finally turns up It's an old steam train. It's an old vintage thing. It finally pulls into the thing All right, this is my tray yeah Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are there

and Donald Duck are there. Oh boy! Hey Watkins, we've got the train for you! This is definitely my train of thought. Did you see what I did there? See, that's the thing. I'm on now guys, here I am, I'm on, I'm on. That was one of the ones that wasn't on one of the speed trains. You kept that one. I want to keep the train gag.

I haven't tried that one out yet, because I've done all the fast ones. I've done the smartest man on the earth and that was a bit boring. Slow old clunky one. That looks like fun. It looks like you have to pull levers, spin dials. You get there a day late. Your jokes get a little bit later and later as you go along.

But you know. All right. So what have we got next? We got my story. Just to quickly slip it in, Newman was called Wayne Knight, not Michael Knight. Oh, good. Wayne Knight. That's a great name.

Alright, so here we go. There's this thing that's only been recorded once so far, so we can't say that this is like a global thing that crocodiles are doing but someone has filmed a crocodile seemingly faking as if it's a drowning human so that humans will come in to rescue it and there's a video to accompany it so I will do a share screen here where you can see this. Look at that. Oh my god. Like little hands? Like little hands just coming out of the water going oh no oh no. So it's a flipped upside down crocodile and it's raising its hands out of the water. It looks very much if you

were at a distance like a human. Like a child. Like little baby arms. Like a child. That's freaky. Do you think it's doing that consciously or is it actually dying? No, they're totally fine. They say that this is, when I saw the article, they're saying that this starts to raise really big questions about their intelligence. Yeah.

Well, I'll say this much, they've been around for 65 million years, right? So they've gotta be pretty smart to survive that long Yeah, yeah, they're one of the originals one of the classics of earth one of the OGs exactly And it seems to be just in Indonesia, right? Yeah I wonder if that same phenomenon is happening in Australia with those big freshwater crocs and stuff Yes, so there's a researcher at Charles Darwin University, he says this is normal behavior for a saltwater croc.

He says a croc who has some prey in its mouth and is spinning around underwater to drown it, so what we might be seeing there is literally it eating, and that's part of the motion, but it looks like- Yeah, but he's not spinning around though, is he? He's just lying on his back. Yeah, that's what it looks like to us. It is quite a short clip So maybe he's having a bit of a hang on the back But he also says crocodiles are also much more intelligent than they are often given credit for in fact

They score at about 185 on an IQ test It's such a brilliant idea the idea that animals mimicking us Yeah. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Sort of study our behavior from the shore. Yeah, exactly watching us with their beady eyes as they emerge out of the water And thinking I am I want to I'm gonna get that guy over here I know he he jumps in when those kids are in here drowning. I might try that with my hands Poor buttons if he was drowning we wouldn't believe it was a human if we saw those heads. No. Yeah there's no way. There you go I'm not jumping into the water that's clearly a crocodile.

What are those great big palm trees sticking out of the water? Hey there's a couple of giant trees in the water there. No! Guys they're not palm leaves! Hey there's a couple of giant trees in the water there. Nooo! Guys they're not palm leaves! I promise! There are, there's monkeys swinging off them. What are you doing? They're just my pet monkeys guys!

Flick those monkeys off and get out of the pool Leon, we've got to go! Flick those monkeys off! You don't know where they've been! I'm trying to remember what the animal is, but there's an animal that uses a technique to trick snakes or whatever it is that's trying to eat them. If they see a predator coming along, they'll shit themselves, piss themselves, and vomit, and then lay dead with their tongue out on the ground. Oh wow. And they'll just like stink full of piss vomit and shit. Yeah

The predator will pass them going off. No, thank you. Not for me That's good advice for humans, too If you're in a dodgy area and you're trying to get home make sure you're really drunk. You've had a bad curry vomit everywhere shit your pants and then just sort of Lie on the ground. You should be fine. Now, not to be rude, but where are we at on the show? We should be winding up.

We really should be. Let's do a quick bit of crypto and finish on your big buttons. No, we've promised we've got to have to keep teasing that because we've got a Derby's disclosure. Oh. Alright, well let's do crypto quickly. Let's get into that. Roll. With the Fizz loyalty program you get rewarded just for having a mobile plan. You know, for texting and stuff.

Well, Sting. Attention, all personnel. It's time for this week's cryptid. Help me! I've got a little story here. It's more to do with an interesting local person with a theory, much like Michael... what was his name? P. Masters! No no no. Michael Knight. Michael Knight.

Oh, Michael Knight! Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do carry on? I must acknowledge that I got this story from one news article roundup in Mysterious Universe, which I continue to plagiarise after how many years I've been I'll be happy with that Yeah, so I also got in the very same article the drowning crocodile story, but But I do feel I'm okay in doing so because the very first story in the news roundup is British actor Brian Blessed who has played everyone from blah blah blah has revealed the best way to escape a yeti is by

running away as it ties up its long sagging breasts and he got that from a paper called the Daily Star of which There is a front page from the interview that I did with Brian Blessed on my other podcast weirdos And so amazing me and this writer Paul Seaborn who writes mysterious universe I feel I can steal these two stories because my interview got him his first story in this article so here we go I'll use his words just give him full credit if you feel the urge to swim while in a bathtub you may be a mermaid according to Karen Kay of Cornwall, who is best known as the Fairy Whisperer and the organizer of the annual three-day Three

Wishes Fairy Festival. In a recent interview, she reveals how she turns into a mermaid by adding a handful of sand to her bathwater and places mermaid figurines, soap, shells and candles around her, which take her to a point where she literally feels like I've got a tail. I can feel so powerful. So she has a theory that if you surround your bath in figures of mermaids, yeah, I'm so close to pulling out the story, but I'll keep going for that. No, keep going, keep going!

You can do it, you can do it! You gotta do keep going for the hour. No! Keep going! Keep going! You can do it! You can do it! You gotta do the rider the honor. She also has seen fairies and helps other people who have seen them cope with the experience. Must be a traumatic thing. So she says she's half mermaid, half fairy, and half human, which is

three things. Three halves. She's going through them like we all do with the different lives, but she's doing cryptids. Yes, I respect that. I respect that. So yeah. I've got to say, I know where she's coming from to a degree because I have a very strange obsession with mermaids that I can't explain. I just love them to bits and I've got a little shelf on my bar all with mermaid stuff that I've collected. Had a weird situation where I was talking about sirens once and then I went and stayed,

somebody booked me randomly at a hotel two days later and it was the Siren Hotel. Oh, well there's no such thing as a coincidence. Offer! Exactly, damn straight! But also my daughter Helena, she is so sure that she is a descendant of mermaids, but she's 23 years old and her boyfriend for Christmas bought her one of those mermaid tails that you can wear, go swimming. And she was so ecstatic. She was just like beside herself.

We bought her a mermaid tail when she was a kid. She has always loved mermaids and can't explain it. And when I hop in a bath, I don't have baths often because of the overwhelming. Giant hands. You can't fit in because you put your hands in, all of a sudden the bath water's gone. And as you bring your hands out,

a lifeguard comes to rescue the poor dying soul. Once you've flicked your monkeys off. Mermaids probably had big hands, you know, because it's for swimming. Yeah. They're webbed fingers. They would have. You're right.

Yeah, see, there you go. Guys, I think I'm a mermaid. Wow. So Helena, your daughter, who's in her early 20 Yeah, genuinely thinks she's a descendant of a mermaid Well, I think she would like to think that so okay, well she's probably gonna edit this so yeah Yeah, well, she is our editor. So it's up to her whether she leaves that in so there you go. No, no No, I know that I'm a human. Or fish. All right. So here we go. We've established who she is. Karen Kay. She's now 60. She's

from Truro in Cornwall. She gets in the bath and she places mermaid figures, soap shells and candles around her. Maybe buttons a bit of ocean noise in the background as we say this. Reese can probably... Reesece do you wanna add that? AAAAAAAA AAAAAAAA AAAAAAAA AAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAA AAAAAAAA AAAAAAAA Sorry that was me. These noise canceling microphones we just see Reece moving weird ways without hearing what he's doing. So she says, I'll have ocean waves playing in the background, dim the lights and close my eyes. I drift off and sometimes it literally feels like I've got a tail. So she says, She says fairies are the guardians of living things like trees and plants So I'll sit in a wood and meditate for a few hours most days and see the unusual little lights

Oh, that's quite fun They're sort of like we're all looking up at the lights in the sky and she's looking at the lights in the forest the tiny versions fairy UFOs She's only seen fairies twice in her entire life, despite a lifetime of doing that, in their full form. About 15 years ago I was driving back from the supermarket on the A30 and saw the legs of a giant fairy. A giant fairy? That's exciting. I slowed down and I saw it was as big as a huge oak tree there and realized the fairy was the tree's guardian. Wow. Yeah. But says that not everyone will see fairies in the same way

They present to the seer in a way that works for them They can shape-shift but you're more likely to see them at liminal times like solstice Mayday or Halloween which we call Sam Hain and pagan So yeah, she talks about having a rebel period when she dropped out of school. Oh, rebel, name of the dog that died prior to the Great Dane. Oh, no searching is a coincidence. Yeah. Or fish.

I see what you did there. It's the first time Butters has heard that joke this entire episode. And that train stopped, did it? Oh, that's clever, that's clever. That makes sense and it's very funny. So you say I had a brief rebel period when I dropped out of school at 16 and joined various bands in London gigging everywhere and living the life of an old-school punk rocker. I was always a bit alternative whatever I did but even then I dressed as a goth fairy with black wings and tutus and had my first fairy tattoo done. Yeah, Cornwall obviously is a very perfect place for this kind of stuff. Yeah. Okay, so in 2007

she founded a fairy magazine called Fae, Fairies and Enchantment, and launched the Fairy Ball. Oh, we have to go to that. Which is now held annually at Glastonbury. That rings a bell. Yeah! Anyway, she sounds great. Yeah, she sounds awesome So if anyone's interested in finding out more about her she has a book you can read called fairy whispering 111 magical practices for connecting with fairies you can get that on Amazon. Very cool. I'm gonna get that I love her Karen Kay. She used to be commended and especially Providing a place for these wonderful people to come together

It's you know, just so awesome that there are these festivals and that put on so that people can get together and chat about it It's wild, isn't it? Like just how much awesomeness is going on out there? Yeah. Just people dedicating their lives to this and we get the privilege of dipping in and out of it It's wonderful. One thing if you're on YouTube and you've got some time to spare, search up a guy called Erwin Saunders. E-R-W-I-E-N Saunders. He's this wonderful old gentleman who goes around the forest in the UK and he goes hunting fairies and he's beautiful. I often go on there and just, you know, get my fill of fairy hunting. Nice.

All right, mate, do you guys mind if I talk about this US Air Force veteran? Ha ha ha ha! Yes, please. All right, it's time for my special segment. So just shut up. Here it is. Is it possible that Ry's Derby came from another star system and has been visiting Earth for millions of years?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes. Darby's Disclosures. The truth is inside here. Now it's out there. Where did he go? Race! He's just dropped off! Now it's out there. Where did he go? Reese! He's just dropped off!

So like for the listener Reese is gone. He just vanished just sort of like went all crackly and then just disappeared. I think I know what's happened. What? We're not in this segment, but I think he got it the wrong way around and thought he wasn't in this segment. He's ejected himself from his own segment. He's now gone. No, do you know what I reckon it is?

I think he's getting so close to the disclosure truth that he's been shut down. The government have stepped in, State, FBI, CIA, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, whatever, all of them are taking him down because he's getting too close to the truth. He'll be memory wiped. We'll like see him in a cafe in Edinburgh with a Scottish accent. Rees! Rees, I have no idea who you're talking about.

I'm Reis. Do you know what? I don't think we even try and find out where Reese's in the deep state I think we just leave him and I think we just wrap it up. Well if anyone finds him the lines are open, please Let us know I'm gonna go hunting for him with my ginormous hands and just pouring through the universe with my I hope he hasn't died and then becomes one of us because I I've still got stuff to do in this life.

He's getting ready. He's in the waiting room ready to take over. You know what's annoying? If he is gone, we don't know what his fucking code words are. Ha ha ha! We never got a code word! We never got the code words! He's gonna be there going, hey guys guys dropping all these hints and we're gonna be like, no, that's not the code words. He's going to be there going, hey guys, guys, dropping all these hints and we're going to be like, no, that's not the code word. That's not the code word. Although if he's clever and we do know that he is the Stephen Fry of New Zealand, he will ask us to pick his balls and we sue him for plagiarism of my last words. You know, that's what our code word is going to be. There's no doubt about it.

Do you know what though? Would you know what this means? That we have to double tease my last week's tease, but now we also have to tease Reese's Derby's disclosure to next week. So we've got two teasers to carry to next week. And if we keep doing this, we keep adding another tease. By the end of the year, we're just going to have a massive stack of teasers to carry to next week. And if we keep doing this, we keep adding another tease by the end of the year, we're just going to have a massive stack of teasers that nobody will ever hear.

It's brilliant. Or we'll have to do all the teasers in one mega episode. It'd be a seven hour just tease reveal. You got to listen back to all the episodes to figure out why. And that's when we teased it in the first place. Okay, it's been fun. And if you do want to hear the two and a half hour long bollocks version, it's on Patreon. I'm sure somewhere some of it's going to be up there. Get your film. Join the Cryptid Knights. Yeah. Okay. All right, everyone. We love you. Love you. See you later. Bye. One. Zzzup!

Pants down. Oh, pants back up, pants back up, sorry.
