Next, reloaded. Re-edited. Sometimes we get so deep into conversation that we have separate segments worthy of their own place in the sun.

[00:00:31] Here is a reshuffled mini-episode.

[00:01:08] The 100th Monkey's gotcha. Okay. No, not like that. The book was something to do with like the 100th Monkey Finds Out How to Do Nuclear Weapons and We Die. It was a little bit different, but it was still called the same thing. But the core concept of it is that you, and if you look at humanity, it's very possible in today's day and age with the amount of people we have and the amount of people playing the same instrument that two people across the world that have never heard each other's music will write something that's similar.

[00:01:34] And I say that because I'm not going to get into like paranormal crap and all that, even though I do watch it. But I'm a believer that there is something that ties humanity together in some way. And I say that because if you look at how many cultures... That explains all the coincidences. Well, think about like all the cultures around the world that never had contact with each other that built pyramids. Or every generation of kids, no matter who raises them, 80-85% of them share common traits of the generation.

[00:02:05] There's got to be something, some kind of consciousness, not consciousness maybe, but some energy or something that ties it all together, right? Yes. And if that's the case, then it's very possible that two people, Marconi and Tesla. Like a real life mirror universe. Marconi and Tesla both had similar ideas about radio waves at the same time. And they really didn't know each other.

[00:02:31] Someone else besides Thomas Edison was probably working on a little thing called electricity back in the day. But he's the one who got there first. Well, Nikola Tesla was. There you go. But there's something, there's a name for it, like global consciousness or something like that. And I don't remember the name of it. I wish I did. But it's not a bad, like... There's got to be something. Like, I don't like... I don't like... I don't like believing in stuff that I can't...

[00:02:59] A lot of stuff that I can't prove or that I didn't see with my own eyes or wasn't there to experience. But just in my time on this planet. I believe it's the body. But then when you get into all this other stuff and you're like, I'm just going to rely on the scientist. Well, I'm going to roll pop culture and the internet back together for a second here. So there's a... There are two YouTubers called Sam and Colby. And Sam and Colby started off doing urban exploration and then something spooked them on one of their things. I don't remember. I didn't watch it. I didn't watch them back then.

[00:03:28] And they started doing paranormal explorations instead, right? And take it all with a grain of salt. Because who knows? I don't watch these and go, yes, it's fact or fiction. Because I'm not there. Assault with my own eyes. I can understand the concepts. But until I see it with my own eyes, I can't 100% say, yes, it's true or not true. But they make long... They make future-length movies occasionally. And they made one called Legends of the Paranormal recently. And me and my daughter... I took my daughter to see it, right?

[00:03:57] Because she likes them. And she used to introduce me to them. And they're kind of goofy. And they're kind of like... They're like, ah! You know, they're like in their 20s. So they're... Sam and Colby. 20-year-olds are now. Sam and Colby, yeah. Not sure if you've ever heard of them. I have now. Okay. So... And I'll give you another interesting tidbit that circles back to Joe Rogan. It can't be any worse than Fred. But... No, they're not bad. But they do these investigations. And they went to a place called... Which one was it? I don't know.

[00:04:26] They went to Mount Wilson Ranch. Now, if anyone has any knowledge of Mount Wilson Ranch... I think it was Mount Wilson Ranch. It's one of those ranches that things happen at. And no one knows what or why or how. And it's a very strange place. Because it's... One of the biggest things about Mount Wilson Ranch that makes it unique is... There's another ranch called Skinwalker Ranch. Right? Whoa.

[00:04:53] And Skinwalker Ranch is called Skinwalker Ranch because the Navajo cursed the Ute land because the Utes helped the U.S. government move the Navajo out because they were feuding. That ranch has all these weird sightings. And right now, there's people there, like actual rocket scientists and actual scientists trying to figure out what is this phenomenon? What causes it? To me, it sounds like it might be something under the ground that was like a Cold War experiment. But who knows? The stuff dates back generations, right? Yep.

[00:05:20] So the interesting thing is, in the early 2000s, Robert Bigelow, who's an aerospace engineer or aerospace mogul, not engineer. He was a real estate mogul and now he owns Bigelow Aerospace. Because I do security for an aerospace company. Okay. So you know the name Robert Bigelow? I don't know Bigelow, but I see all those aerodynamic concepts each time I go in and I'm like, man, that's such cool stuff. They're regarded. Yeah. So Bigelow Aerospace holds tons of government contracts.

[00:05:48] The U.S. government, if you come out and say something like aliens exist or whatever, odds are you're not going to have your clearances and get contracts anymore because they want to distance it, right? Well, they also don't. Bigelow has. Go ahead. They don't want to take a risk on someone making a loaded statement or if they don't think you're sane. Robert Bigelow has come out and said not only does he know for a fact they exist, he's seen them. He still has government contracts. Whoa. That seems weird, right?

[00:06:17] So in the 2000s, he bought Skinwalker Ranch and he formed a group called NIDS, National Institute for Discovery Sciences. And he also bought Mount Wilson Ranch, which was considered the evil twin to Skinwalker Ranch. Oh. And over the course of about a decade, they ran all kinds of experiments. And there's all these accounts from people that are mostly anonymous because they don't want to come out because when he sold those ranches again, he never told anybody what they found. Whoa.

[00:06:46] The data is all classified. And people are like, oh, they suspect there's, you know, a hidden whatever here or that. It's just all this bizarre stuff, right? Mount Wilson Ranch, the reason he sold it, he was in a room. It's actually a ranch you can go visit and stay at. It looks beautiful. But he was in a room there and he was staying there. And his story that he told one time, and he's never repeated it, is that he was sleeping and he felt a presence in the room.

[00:07:14] He woke up and there was a seven or eight foot tall shaman coming towards him. Oh, shit. Okay. And told him, you need to leave because the land is unhappy with what he's doing. Something to that effect. And then he like packed up and booked. So Sam and Colby are at this ranch. Okay. And everything that goes on, whatever, they end up in this quote unquote, what they call the shaman's cave. They perform whatever like meditation and ritual. They're trying to contact the shaman. Is this real or not? I don't know. I'm not saying it is. Not saying it isn't. Okay. Disclaimer.

[00:07:44] Right. But what they say they're told by him because they ask about, you know, our aliens and the paranormal and all this tied together. And the response was everything is. It's all the same. And then Sam and Colby were talking and said, well, energy is neither is never created nor destroyed. So energy has to go somewhere. So realistically. Kind of like every food has a calorie. Well, yeah. But every single thing can be connected through energy.

[00:08:13] Somebody might die here and that energy goes somewhere else in the universe. Right. So like how we get different moods, like when someone walks in and they got a bad mood and that just wrecks our day. Because we're we're latching on to the negative energy they're sharing with us is like, stop. Why are you so crazy? It also could explain, like when someone says they have like when someone's like, oh, that person's an old soul. That person might really be. It might have energy from somebody that lived 100 years ago. You know, it's an interesting concept.

[00:08:43] And it goes along with what I was saying about how, like, there's got to be something that ties everybody together. Now, the Joe Rogan story is Joe Rogan owns a comedy, the comedy mothership. It's a comedy club. Supposedly, it's haunted. His daughter is a huge fan of Sam and Colby. He let them investigate the place and was talking to him and stuff. And he had him on like his show. So I thought that was kind of neat. Like, I'm not a huge fan of his, but that was kind of cool. You know, instead of bringing in some of these other conspiracy theorists who are going to piss everybody off. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:09:11] Because the main issue is he's not a good moderator. No, but I think he would have been good to moderate a presidential debate if he could stay in the middle and just be like, both of you shut the hell up. Instead of doing the whole, well, yeah. Who's going to legalize drugs? Just so you know. Yeah. And that's also funny looking at certain parties is like, so again, yes, conservatives are often kind of reserved.

[00:09:41] And people often cater on to them because of the tax cuts. And, you know, liberals have a lot of cool progressive ideas about saving the environment and given, you know, just less restrictive laws on everything. But then when you look at certain foreign policies, those are pretty much the same. Like pharmaceutical drugs are still expensive. Yeah. There's still a crackdown on anything related to. You know, legal drugs. Anything the FDA has not. Yeah. Yeah. Been bought off on.

[00:10:11] That's a great example. Pot. Porn. Oh, my God. Our kids are going to become pedophiles is the newest one. I'm like, what? Well, you know, my daughter's perverted. That doesn't. Come on. Every week my daughter comes to me and goes, oh, my God. Did you hear another YouTuber got busted for trying to solicit a minor? She's like, what the hell's going on on YouTube? I'm like, I don't know. That's it. I don't know. Like if you have millions of dollars, stay away from the kids. Get a midget or something. Sorry. Get a dwarf. Little person.

[00:10:40] Whatever they want to be called. How about stay away from anybody? Or just stay away from anybody. Just go on an island. Well, see, well, we go on an island and we get that already. Oh, yeah. Fuck you, Jerry Little. But. Well, I was thinking I was thinking they got to own the island. But yeah, him too. Oh, Epstein. Yeah. No, but but back to the my my Sam and Colby point was or my to my original point. I do think there's an energy that hooks us all together. I like that concept.
