00:00:10,600 –> 00:00:33,700
Papa.
Hey, everybody.
2
00:00:33,800 –> 00:00:38,700
Welcome to conspiracy the show.
I’m Adam Todd Brown.
3
00:00:38,700 –> 00:00:40,900
Who are you?
I’m Olivia hide.
4
00:00:40,900 –> 00:00:47,600
Our, we are your hosts Olivia.
How excited are you to be
5
00:00:47,600 –> 00:00:52,100
talking about the legitimate
origins of civilization today?
6
00:00:52,100 –> 00:00:54,600
I mean, I’m always happy to be
talking about the legitimate.
7
00:00:54,800 –> 00:00:57,600
Origins of civilization.
That’s one of my favorite topics
8
00:00:57,600 –> 00:00:59,000
of discussion.
Right?
9
00:00:59,000 –> 00:01:03,600
And I am, I’m actually pretty
excited to be on this episode
10
00:01:03,600 –> 00:01:07,600
talking about this movie.
This is kind of like a very
11
00:01:07,600 –> 00:01:12,500
similar important film in a lot
of ways, even if it’s maybe not
12
00:01:12,500 –> 00:01:14,700
a good film.
It’s important.
13
00:01:14,700 –> 00:01:18,100
It’s definitely more important
than Trump versus the Illuminati
14
00:01:18,100 –> 00:01:20,400
which be covered on a bonus
episode last week.
15
00:01:20,400 –> 00:01:22,400
Yeah.
I was just like to say nothing
16
00:01:22,400 –> 00:01:27,400
makes Chariots of the Gods.
Look better than watching Trump
17
00:01:27,400 –> 00:01:30,600
versus the Illuminati
immediately afterwards.
18
00:01:31,000 –> 00:01:34,700
Yeah, we’re covering like Olivia
just said Chariots of the Gods,
19
00:01:34,700 –> 00:01:40,000
which is kind of the it’s not
the starting point for ancient
20
00:01:40,000 –> 00:01:43,500
alien Theory but it is the
starting point for the
21
00:01:43,500 –> 00:01:48,300
popularization of ancient alien
theory in the United States is
22
00:01:48,500 –> 00:01:52,100
the book and movie Chariots of
the Gods.
23
00:01:52,400 –> 00:01:58,100
And because we are Are not
interested in exerting more
24
00:01:58,100 –> 00:02:01,800
effort than we need to.
We are covering the documentary.
25
00:02:01,900 –> 00:02:04,900
Yeah.
It’s about I’m not reading that
26
00:02:04,900 –> 00:02:06,700
book.
That’s thank you.
27
00:02:06,700 –> 00:02:09,699
We’re almost doing him a favor
because as it turns out there’s
28
00:02:09,699 –> 00:02:14,100
things in that book that along
with all the other untruths that
29
00:02:14,100 –> 00:02:16,800
have come out of ancient.
Alien Theory, there are some
30
00:02:16,800 –> 00:02:20,800
that were so blatant that he had
to cut them for the movie
31
00:02:20,800 –> 00:02:22,100
version.
Yeah.
32
00:02:22,100 –> 00:02:23,900
I mean, we’re kind of doing him
a favor.
33
00:02:24,700 –> 00:02:27,000
Yeah, I would just like up
front.
34
00:02:27,200 –> 00:02:31,200
It is actually, it’s almost
impressive.
35
00:02:31,200 –> 00:02:37,800
The amount of bullshit that is
crammed into 90 minutes, like
36
00:02:37,800 –> 00:02:43,300
just every single second.
It’s filled with some form of
37
00:02:43,300 –> 00:02:46,100
bullshit and that takes a lot of
work.
38
00:02:46,200 –> 00:02:51,100
It really does and he had time
to to get that.
39
00:02:51,100 –> 00:02:55,800
Work done will explain why in a
little bit but You talk about
40
00:02:56,000 –> 00:02:58,700
the guy who wrote Chariots of
the Gods first.
41
00:02:58,700 –> 00:03:02,000
This is a Chariots of the Gods.
It’s a book that came out in
42
00:03:02,008 –> 00:03:07,700
1968 and the documentary version
came out in 1970.
43
00:03:07,800 –> 00:03:10,400
And this is again for all
intents and purposes.
44
00:03:10,400 –> 00:03:13,900
This is where ancient alien
Theory becomes popular in the
45
00:03:13,900 –> 00:03:17,300
United States, right?
He is by no means the first
46
00:03:17,300 –> 00:03:20,800
person to suggest this idea,
right?
47
00:03:20,800 –> 00:03:23,900
Cuz that’s one of the first
things you got to take into
48
00:03:24,000 –> 00:03:26,600
account.
About Erich von daniken.
49
00:03:27,000 –> 00:03:31,400
Who is the Swiss writer?
Who wrote Chariots of the Gods?
50
00:03:31,800 –> 00:03:33,800
Hmm.
Is that he’s not a scientist.
51
00:03:33,800 –> 00:03:38,100
He’s just a writer.
Yeah, he is a con artist but
52
00:03:38,100 –> 00:03:39,900
let’s use it.
Yes, he is.
53
00:03:39,900 –> 00:03:45,200
He is fully a con artist who was
convicted of Fraud and
54
00:03:45,200 –> 00:03:51,000
embezzlement multiple types and
before becoming a preeminent
55
00:03:51,000 –> 00:03:54,500
Ancient Aliens scholar.
This is right up there.
56
00:03:54,600 –> 00:04:01,100
With Scientology in that it’s so
obviously a fabrication.
57
00:04:01,100 –> 00:04:06,700
But so many people still believe
it is true and real, like
58
00:04:06,700 –> 00:04:10,700
Scientology, if you read that
origin story like the guy that
59
00:04:10,700 –> 00:04:14,000
started Scientology l.ron
Hubbard, their whole thing is 0,
60
00:04:14,000 –> 00:04:16,300
mental health and Psychiatry is
a shame.
61
00:04:16,300 –> 00:04:21,000
He was denied, mental health
care in the Navy, like six
62
00:04:21,000 –> 00:04:24,500
months before he decided he was
going to start an anti mental.
63
00:04:24,600 –> 00:04:28,000
Healthcare cult that was based
in science fiction.
64
00:04:28,000 –> 00:04:30,500
He was also an established
science fiction writer.
65
00:04:30,500 –> 00:04:34,300
Yeah, it’s pretend.
And so is ancient alien theory.
66
00:04:34,400 –> 00:04:37,000
Yes.
Ancient alien theory is a
67
00:04:37,000 –> 00:04:42,300
blatantly racist theory.
That is just willfully.
68
00:04:42,300 –> 00:04:47,600
Ignorant of any advances in
anthropology and archaeology
69
00:04:47,600 –> 00:04:51,500
that have been made throughout
the years and is solely
70
00:04:52,000 –> 00:04:57,600
asserting facts.
Without backing it up with any
71
00:04:57,600 –> 00:05:02,200
sort of fact-based explanation.
So like it’ll say, like I’m look
72
00:05:02,200 –> 00:05:07,600
at this, this statute, doesn’t
it look like a man in a space
73
00:05:07,600 –> 00:05:12,000
suit with an oxygen mask.
Doesn’t it appear that?
74
00:05:12,100 –> 00:05:16,100
This is depicting some sort of
alien life form moving on.
75
00:05:17,400 –> 00:05:22,100
That is 90 minutes of this.
That is this movie.
76
00:05:22,300 –> 00:05:24,500
Well, that’s the whole thing.
That’s ancient.
77
00:05:24,600 –> 00:05:28,300
N’t, aliens in general because
it’s concerning enough that this
78
00:05:28,300 –> 00:05:32,500
book and movie became so popular
and kind of remains so popular.
79
00:05:32,900 –> 00:05:37,300
This is also now a TV show.
Then I don’t think out to be up
80
00:05:37,300 –> 00:05:41,300
to like 25 or 30 Seasons, like
it’s length.
81
00:05:41,300 –> 00:05:44,800
At this point.
It’s still currently on the air.
82
00:05:44,800 –> 00:05:47,200
I think.
So.
83
00:05:47,200 –> 00:05:51,800
If I mean, I know there’s stuff
like it on the are absolutely
84
00:05:52,000 –> 00:05:55,200
but I am not.
I don’t keep up with Is actually
85
00:05:55,200 –> 00:05:57,400
on TV very well.
Okay.
86
00:05:57,400 –> 00:05:59,100
Well, this says, there’s only
four seasons.
87
00:05:59,100 –> 00:06:02,400
That’s not right.
What are we talking about that
88
00:06:02,400 –> 00:06:06,100
there?
Seemed 18 Seasons 210 episodes
89
00:06:06,400 –> 00:06:08,600
tesis fight?
Ukrainians idea.
90
00:06:08,600 –> 00:06:12,100
I don’t know if it’s still hot
going, but it’ll be back.
91
00:06:12,100 –> 00:06:17,000
If it’s not like we’re your an
episode 150 and yours like, yep.
92
00:06:17,100 –> 00:06:20,100
The pyramids are still.
Aliens sit, still.
93
00:06:20,100 –> 00:06:23,100
That’s still what we believe.
What coming on?
94
00:06:23,100 –> 00:06:24,500
Yeah, what can there be left to
talk?
95
00:06:24,600 –> 00:06:28,100
Talk about.
I feel like this movie basically
96
00:06:28,100 –> 00:06:30,600
covers it all.
Yeah, I get it.
97
00:06:30,600 –> 00:06:34,200
You think time, traveling, white
men, built civilization?
98
00:06:34,500 –> 00:06:37,100
This is why we will go through
this movie.
99
00:06:37,100 –> 00:06:41,300
I like, I’m assuming as much
beat by beat as we can, but like
100
00:06:41,300 –> 00:06:45,900
it’s gonna get repetitive after
a certain bit because the movie
101
00:06:45,900 –> 00:06:48,800
is repetitive.
It’s very hypnotic, honestly.
102
00:06:49,100 –> 00:06:52,900
Yeah, it feels like an MK Ultra
experiment.
103
00:06:52,900 –> 00:06:54,500
Like they were just trying to
roll.
104
00:06:54,700 –> 00:07:00,000
Everyone into thinking yes,
through through cool and calm
105
00:07:00,000 –> 00:07:02,300
narration.
Hey, like this, very scholarly
106
00:07:02,300 –> 00:07:04,900
Vibe about this documentary,
right?
107
00:07:04,900 –> 00:07:08,100
You feel like someone somewhere
is watching this Like Clockwork
108
00:07:08,100 –> 00:07:13,900
Orange style just like when they
pulled open that could be.
109
00:07:14,100 –> 00:07:16,900
Nothing means.
Maybe I will say, though,
110
00:07:17,000 –> 00:07:21,300
especially having just watched
Trump versus the Illuminati.
111
00:07:21,400 –> 00:07:24,200
I didn’t dislike watching this
movie at all.
112
00:07:24,600 –> 00:07:29,400
I actually generally enjoyed the
experience of watching this
113
00:07:29,400 –> 00:07:33,300
movie.
Even if every five minutes of
114
00:07:33,300 –> 00:07:36,100
my, well, that doesn’t make any
sense.
115
00:07:36,100 –> 00:07:39,600
You need to explain what that
means and then it moves on.
116
00:07:39,800 –> 00:07:42,900
Yeah, but like, I still
basically enjoyed watching a
117
00:07:42,900 –> 00:07:47,300
bunch of National Geographic
stock footage with a gentle
118
00:07:47,300 –> 00:07:50,000
narration over it.
So I take it.
119
00:07:50,000 –> 00:07:53,000
You have not watched the series,
the TV show.
120
00:07:53,300 –> 00:07:54,500
Ancient Aliens.
Yeah.
121
00:07:55,500 –> 00:07:57,000
I’ve never watch the whole
episode.
122
00:07:57,000 –> 00:08:02,900
I seen bits and pieces, but I’ve
watched maybe ten seasons of it,
123
00:08:03,000 –> 00:08:07,300
and that’s what made this boring
for me, is not only had I heard
124
00:08:07,300 –> 00:08:10,400
everything in here, but I’ve
heard it presented by a guy with
125
00:08:10,400 –> 00:08:12,600
crazy hair.
Who every once in a while, just
126
00:08:12,600 –> 00:08:15,600
goes aliens, like, in the mean,
right?
127
00:08:15,700 –> 00:08:18,600
I want to be clear.
I thought this was boring.
128
00:08:19,800 –> 00:08:23,800
Like, I want to be clear that it
was boring and I have absolutely
129
00:08:23,800 –> 00:08:27,800
heard every Fucking thing that
was mentioned in it, but that
130
00:08:27,800 –> 00:08:31,600
didn’t mean I dislike watching
it and you know, I don’t footage
131
00:08:31,600 –> 00:08:35,299
for sure what I mean, like, I
dislike watching Trump versus
132
00:08:35,299 –> 00:08:38,100
the Illuminati, which is the
only thing I can really compare
133
00:08:38,100 –> 00:08:42,500
stuff to do right now or like
ever yeah ever forever.
134
00:08:42,700 –> 00:08:45,700
But like I hated watch it, it
felt bad.
135
00:08:45,700 –> 00:08:48,600
Whereas watching this.
I’m like I’m smoking weed.
136
00:08:48,700 –> 00:08:53,500
This guy is clearly smoking weed
and I’m watching some for some
137
00:08:53,500 –> 00:08:56,400
nature footage.
I like to watch, like I said,
138
00:08:56,400 –> 00:08:58,600
National Geographic stock
footage.
139
00:08:58,600 –> 00:09:02,400
Basically, I basically am having
a decent time watching.
140
00:09:02,400 –> 00:09:04,100
This book.
I did fall asleep.
141
00:09:04,100 –> 00:09:07,300
You know, I absolutely fell
asleep about an hour in and had
142
00:09:07,300 –> 00:09:11,000
to finish it this morning.
But yeah, I basically had a good
143
00:09:11,000 –> 00:09:12,900
time.
It still sucks.
144
00:09:13,100 –> 00:09:15,800
It’s so very bad.
Yeah.
145
00:09:15,900 –> 00:09:20,600
The reason I was so into the
series is they got me at first
146
00:09:20,700 –> 00:09:24,400
because they do that thing that
I hate that.
147
00:09:24,600 –> 00:09:29,100
Many conspiracy theory based
things do where they’ll show?
148
00:09:29,100 –> 00:09:32,600
You all of this evidence, but
they won’t show you the evidence
149
00:09:32,600 –> 00:09:34,500
that what they’re showing you is
fake.
150
00:09:34,600 –> 00:09:38,800
And yeah that drives me insane
because that’s it’s not enough
151
00:09:38,800 –> 00:09:41,000
to be like draw your own
conclusions.
152
00:09:41,000 –> 00:09:44,000
It’s like give people the
necessary information to draw
153
00:09:44,000 –> 00:09:47,300
their own conclusions.
First because once you dig into
154
00:09:47,400 –> 00:09:52,200
a damn near everything presented
on Ancient Aliens, yeah, it’s
155
00:09:52,200 –> 00:09:56,500
pretty easy to debunk.
Or explain, there’s a couple
156
00:09:56,500 –> 00:09:59,900
things that are still sort of up
in the air, as to what they are.
157
00:09:59,908 –> 00:10:02,700
But that doesn’t mean white male
Time Travelers.
158
00:10:02,700 –> 00:10:07,000
Told Society how to live, well,
and that’s the thing that is
159
00:10:07,000 –> 00:10:09,600
just all that they have when it
comes to the conspiracy
160
00:10:09,600 –> 00:10:12,700
evidence.
It’s always one step removed
161
00:10:12,700 –> 00:10:16,500
from actual evidence.
It’s always, but there was one
162
00:10:16,500 –> 00:10:22,200
report that said that this could
possibly be a representation of
163
00:10:22,200 –> 00:10:26,200
aliens, but it never says.
What that report is and never
164
00:10:26,200 –> 00:10:28,200
says what the report was on.
Again.
165
00:10:28,600 –> 00:10:32,000
There’s no citation with
throughout this movie and
166
00:10:32,000 –> 00:10:36,100
throughout anything and I’m sure
in the Ancient Alien series.
167
00:10:36,200 –> 00:10:40,000
It’s just like we heard take our
word for it.
168
00:10:40,000 –> 00:10:45,000
That someone else, who knew what
they were talking about verified
169
00:10:45,000 –> 00:10:48,800
what we believe, right?
And I mean, that’s when they’re
170
00:10:48,800 –> 00:10:52,400
not just straight up lying in
the the reason it’s a problem.
171
00:10:52,400 –> 00:10:56,100
Obviously, it’s spun.
Off into this huge series, but
172
00:10:56,100 –> 00:10:58,800
even back then, it was so
popular.
173
00:10:58,900 –> 00:11:01,800
Yeah, but it was huge, this
book.
174
00:11:01,800 –> 00:11:05,900
We’re going to link to a Playboy
interview from 1974 with Erich,
175
00:11:05,900 –> 00:11:08,100
von daniken.
Who is the author of this book?
176
00:11:08,100 –> 00:11:12,800
By the time that interview came
out, this book had sold five
177
00:11:12,800 –> 00:11:18,200
million copies and was on, its
44th paperback printing, the
178
00:11:18,200 –> 00:11:22,100
documentary was nominated for
best documentary of.
179
00:11:22,100 –> 00:11:26,200
Yeah, here, it didn’t win.
But It was the ninth highest
180
00:11:26,200 –> 00:11:30,500
grossing film of 1970.
So yeah, it’s huge.
181
00:11:30,500 –> 00:11:34,100
It was gigantic.
So it’s not like this came out
182
00:11:34,100 –> 00:11:38,400
and the public was immediately
like, all right, whatever?
183
00:11:38,400 –> 00:11:41,500
Right?
It wasn’t an obscure cult object
184
00:11:41,500 –> 00:11:44,100
at the time.
Like, it’s not something that
185
00:11:44,100 –> 00:11:49,600
kind of came out and a bunch of
weirdos watched, and that spread
186
00:11:49,600 –> 00:11:52,300
by Word of Mouth.
It was a best-seller.
187
00:11:52,300 –> 00:11:55,200
It’s a movie, based on a Huge
book.
188
00:11:55,200 –> 00:11:59,400
It is a shockingly
representative example of those
189
00:11:59,400 –> 00:12:03,900
who forget history are doomed to
repeat it because I almost, as
190
00:12:03,900 –> 00:12:08,300
soon as this came out in the
late 60s, early 70s, there were
191
00:12:08,300 –> 00:12:12,700
books and articles and people
who just fucking stood up in
192
00:12:12,700 –> 00:12:15,900
their chair and were like, this
is bullshit.
193
00:12:16,000 –> 00:12:20,500
Yeah, this is nonsense.
Roger Ebert called it science
194
00:12:20,500 –> 00:12:24,400
fiction in his review.
There were whole books, written.
195
00:12:24,600 –> 00:12:28,300
And that we’re just a rebuttal
to Chariots of the Gods.
196
00:12:28,300 –> 00:12:32,200
Carl Sagan the that we horrell
Sagan says about Erich.
197
00:12:32,200 –> 00:12:37,400
Von daniken roof bad times.
Yeah, and we mentioned that
198
00:12:37,400 –> 00:12:41,300
Playboy article.
That’s a really good example of
199
00:12:41,300 –> 00:12:44,400
someone.
Just ripping ancient alien
200
00:12:44,400 –> 00:12:47,800
Theory apart and it’s an
interview with the writer, which
201
00:12:47,800 –> 00:12:52,300
is what makes it so interesting
and like among other crimes, if
202
00:12:52,300 –> 00:12:54,400
you’re presenting a fucking
scientific.
203
00:12:54,500 –> 00:12:58,200
Look like not an actual crime,
but you can’t do things like say
204
00:12:58,400 –> 00:13:03,300
Carl Sagan believes that some of
the moons on Mars are
205
00:13:03,300 –> 00:13:04,800
artificial.
Yeah.
206
00:13:05,100 –> 00:13:10,900
What he actually means is, Carl
Sagan commented once on a study
207
00:13:10,900 –> 00:13:14,300
that claimed there were
artificial moons on Mars and
208
00:13:14,300 –> 00:13:17,100
when he commented on it, he was
like no that’s not.
209
00:13:17,100 –> 00:13:18,900
No, that’s not a thing, probably
not.
210
00:13:18,900 –> 00:13:22,000
But when it gets to the Ancient
Aliens book, he’s like Carl
211
00:13:22,000 –> 00:13:25,400
Sagan believes it.
He taught ya that The kind of
212
00:13:25,400 –> 00:13:29,700
trickeration that’s going on all
throughout ancient.
213
00:13:29,700 –> 00:13:33,200
Alien Theory.
Yeah, it’s not just oh well,
214
00:13:33,300 –> 00:13:35,600
okay you shot down this one
thing but what about all these
215
00:13:35,600 –> 00:13:37,200
other things?
It’s like I’m talking time.
216
00:13:37,200 –> 00:13:40,700
Do you have the only thing
that’s sort of still up in the
217
00:13:40,700 –> 00:13:43,700
air as the Nazca Lines?
Sure, but even those you can
218
00:13:43,700 –> 00:13:46,400
explain but we know how many
made but be right there.
219
00:13:46,600 –> 00:13:49,300
Like there’s still differing
theories on what they were for,
220
00:13:49,500 –> 00:13:50,300
right?
Of course.
221
00:13:50,300 –> 00:13:54,000
Yeah, these old airport, but
this is the thing and a lot of
222
00:13:54,000 –> 00:13:55,900
conspiracy.
You see, theories or especially
223
00:13:55,900 –> 00:13:59,500
the scientific ones and this,
you get creationists, who do
224
00:13:59,500 –> 00:14:04,200
this to its very similar where
they just look for those little
225
00:14:04,200 –> 00:14:09,000
gaps where there’s still mystery
in the universe and they’re
226
00:14:09,000 –> 00:14:14,500
like, well, that mystery is us,
it’s our idea.
227
00:14:14,500 –> 00:14:16,600
That’s what that is.
But the whole thing about
228
00:14:16,600 –> 00:14:21,900
science and what makes it rad
when it works, is that it’s a
229
00:14:21,900 –> 00:14:24,400
bunch of people who are have
different ideas.
230
00:14:24,400 –> 00:14:27,700
It’s to our testing out new
things and especially when it
231
00:14:27,700 –> 00:14:31,200
comes to like anthropology and
archaeology and stuff where
232
00:14:31,200 –> 00:14:34,000
you’re studying, ancient
cultures.
233
00:14:34,000 –> 00:14:39,500
You’re never going to really
know exactly the truth unless
234
00:14:39,500 –> 00:14:42,400
they fucking write it down and a
lot of these civilizations
235
00:14:42,400 –> 00:14:47,000
didn’t do this stuff like that.
So like, you’re never gonna 100%
236
00:14:47,000 –> 00:14:51,300
know what the Nazca Lines are
for, and that’s fine, but we
237
00:14:51,300 –> 00:14:54,600
know that people made them and
we know that they weren’t Or
238
00:14:54,600 –> 00:14:57,500
aliens because it doesn’t make
any fucking sense.
239
00:14:57,500 –> 00:15:01,300
Yeah, and before we dive into
the documentary, we are morally,
240
00:15:01,300 –> 00:15:05,600
obligated to talk about Erich,
von daniken and his background.
241
00:15:05,600 –> 00:15:09,300
He’s the author of Chariots of
the Gods and since then just
242
00:15:09,300 –> 00:15:12,400
dozens and dozens of other
books.
243
00:15:12,600 –> 00:15:17,500
He even to this day, has a
series on Gaia or whatever, that
244
00:15:17,500 –> 00:15:22,300
weird video network is, that’s
like an educational thing but
245
00:15:22,300 –> 00:15:28,100
also weirdly Rassee Theory,
conspiracy to ality leaning.
246
00:15:28,100 –> 00:15:30,800
He’s got a whole series on Gaia
about.
247
00:15:31,000 –> 00:15:32,300
Yeah.
Everything you think about
248
00:15:32,300 –> 00:15:34,500
history’s wrong.
That’s his actual voice.
249
00:15:34,500 –> 00:15:35,900
I know.
That’s surprising everybody.
250
00:15:35,900 –> 00:15:37,300
Wow.
Yeah, Von daniken.
251
00:15:37,300 –> 00:15:39,100
Ma.
That’s into their bond Anakin
252
00:15:39,200 –> 00:15:43,400
Swiss, right?
He sounds like the guy from
253
00:15:43,400 –> 00:15:49,100
Roswell, the Cajun guy Erich,
von daniken in the morning.
254
00:15:49,100 –> 00:15:52,400
Yo dries down, DJ.
Wow, I’d listen.
255
00:15:52,600 –> 00:15:53,400
Yeah.
Hell, yeah.
256
00:15:53,400 –> 00:15:55,400
Yeah.
His these Books, the movie when
257
00:15:55,400 –> 00:15:59,800
it came out almost unanimously.
Written off as pseudoscience and
258
00:15:59,800 –> 00:16:03,200
pseudo archaeology in the thing,
is we mentioned already.
259
00:16:03,200 –> 00:16:07,500
He’s not a scientist, any of us
could have written Chariots of
260
00:16:07,500 –> 00:16:10,500
the Gods.
Because, yeah, all he did in
261
00:16:10,500 –> 00:16:12,200
that, like, there’s no fault in
this.
262
00:16:12,200 –> 00:16:14,500
Like the, a lot of books are
written this way, but it’s just
263
00:16:14,500 –> 00:16:19,000
him Gathering.
A bunch of other work together
264
00:16:19,300 –> 00:16:23,600
and presenting a new work.
The problem is.
265
00:16:23,700 –> 00:16:28,100
He’s not Saying anything new.
It’s one thing to gather
266
00:16:28,100 –> 00:16:32,500
together a bunch of sources like
we do it with the podcast, I
267
00:16:32,500 –> 00:16:34,000
guess more.
So, with like the unpopular
268
00:16:34,000 –> 00:16:37,100
Opinion podcast, but that’s
usually a bunch of different
269
00:16:37,100 –> 00:16:42,000
stories that are put together to
lead to a different or bigger
270
00:16:42,000 –> 00:16:45,200
point, right?
This is just him repackaging.
271
00:16:45,200 –> 00:16:47,100
Oh, yeah.
Points that have been made
272
00:16:47,100 –> 00:16:49,300
before.
It’s, it’s fully recitation.
273
00:16:49,300 –> 00:16:51,600
Not only is he repackaging
points that have been made
274
00:16:51,600 –> 00:16:55,300
before.
He’s not doing it by A sighting
275
00:16:55,300 –> 00:16:59,200
things specific, right?
Works that he’s just saying.
276
00:16:59,400 –> 00:17:02,100
This looks like this and he
never says anything in a
277
00:17:02,100 –> 00:17:04,500
declarative.
It’s always the question or
278
00:17:04,500 –> 00:17:07,500
citing it to other people which
is the thing that we’ve seen in
279
00:17:07,500 –> 00:17:12,200
other conspiracy media like that
Kubrick thing that we watch
280
00:17:12,200 –> 00:17:15,700
right?
Where every claim is based on a
281
00:17:15,900 –> 00:17:20,800
doesn’t this look like a blah
blah blah or people have claimed
282
00:17:20,800 –> 00:17:24,300
that blah blah blah with no
further.
283
00:17:24,700 –> 00:17:30,100
Explanation just that and that’s
a good reference here.
284
00:17:30,100 –> 00:17:34,300
Because with the Kubrick thing,
what often gets left out of that
285
00:17:34,300 –> 00:17:38,500
conspiracy theory is that that
theory started as a satire, our
286
00:17:38,500 –> 00:17:43,500
graph on the internet and as it
turns out with ancient alien
287
00:17:43,500 –> 00:17:48,800
Theory, there was an article in
skeptic magazine in 2004 that
288
00:17:48,900 –> 00:17:54,300
trace the roots of ancient alien
Theory to h p Lovecraft.
289
00:17:54,600 –> 00:17:58,400
Guys, specifically Call of
Cthulhu and at the mountains of
290
00:17:58,400 –> 00:18:01,000
Madness.
Yeah, and let me tell you a
291
00:18:01,000 –> 00:18:03,800
racist Theory originating with
HP Lovecraft.
292
00:18:04,300 –> 00:18:08,000
Wait, wait a minute.
That manly tracks that man.
293
00:18:08,000 –> 00:18:13,900
Did not have a racist bone in
his body, but he had bones.
294
00:18:14,100 –> 00:18:18,800
No, he had a racist.
Fucking gene pool all throughout
295
00:18:18,800 –> 00:18:20,200
it.
Like, that guy was race.
296
00:18:20,200 –> 00:18:23,200
So racist that people at the
time were like, hey, man, chill
297
00:18:23,200 –> 00:18:26,200
out.
To take it a little too far, and
298
00:18:26,200 –> 00:18:30,400
that’s like, in the fucking 20s.
So yeah, so it makes sense, that
299
00:18:30,400 –> 00:18:31,900
it would come from him.
Right?
300
00:18:32,000 –> 00:18:35,500
Not only is it Lovecraft,
obviously, but there’s plenty of
301
00:18:35,500 –> 00:18:39,900
sci-fi stories that are about
like, that’s a common sci-fi
302
00:18:39,900 –> 00:18:42,800
Trope.
What if these things that you
303
00:18:42,800 –> 00:18:45,600
thought, or actually done by
aliens?
304
00:18:45,600 –> 00:18:47,800
And it’s like, there’s nothing
behind that.
305
00:18:47,900 –> 00:18:54,300
And one of my biggest problems
with the movie is that it’s not
306
00:18:54,500 –> 00:18:57,100
Cohesive kind of going towards
what you’re saying about.
307
00:18:57,100 –> 00:18:59,700
It’s not building toward a
larger point.
308
00:18:59,700 –> 00:19:03,800
It’s just this and then this and
then this and then this all of
309
00:19:03,800 –> 00:19:09,800
the elements that they introduce
and show are very different and
310
00:19:09,900 –> 00:19:15,000
are like presenting different
symbols and like not making
311
00:19:15,000 –> 00:19:18,400
sense with one another, like, in
one of them, they talk about how
312
00:19:18,500 –> 00:19:21,300
doesn’t this look like a lunar
lander.
313
00:19:21,300 –> 00:19:24,000
And I’m like, why would the
aliens make a lunar lander?
314
00:19:24,000 –> 00:19:27,400
That looks.
Like NASA equipment and like
315
00:19:27,400 –> 00:19:30,300
there’s a thing where they’re
like, doesn’t this look like an
316
00:19:30,300 –> 00:19:33,600
oxygen mask?
And I’m like, why would an alien
317
00:19:33,600 –> 00:19:38,400
need an oxygen mask on Earth?
It’s just throwing everything at
318
00:19:38,400 –> 00:19:42,100
the wall and it just saying look
watch how it sticks.
319
00:19:42,300 –> 00:19:45,600
Yeah.
There’s no evidence cited.
320
00:19:45,600 –> 00:19:48,600
At any point in the book.
Maybe like I’m sure there’s
321
00:19:48,600 –> 00:19:51,400
footnotes and bibliographies or
something.
322
00:19:51,400 –> 00:19:53,200
Yeah.
I don’t know but, you know,
323
00:19:53,200 –> 00:19:55,600
we’ll never know because Ever
read that book.
324
00:19:56,000 –> 00:19:59,800
But most of it is just presented
in that here.
325
00:19:59,800 –> 00:20:03,900
Isn’t this weird kind of way.
Yeah, I think what proponents of
326
00:20:03,900 –> 00:20:07,400
ancient alien Theory and Erich
von daniken himself?
327
00:20:07,400 –> 00:20:11,700
Don’t want to accept is that,
their theory is no different
328
00:20:11,700 –> 00:20:14,900
than Faith, like they’re asking
us to believe in a different.
329
00:20:14,900 –> 00:20:16,500
God.
That’s all they’re doing.
330
00:20:16,500 –> 00:20:20,500
They’re saying no, of course.
This wasn’t deities coming down
331
00:20:20,500 –> 00:20:23,400
from the sky.
That people were seeing sure was
332
00:20:23,400 –> 00:20:25,200
time traveling.
White men.
333
00:20:26,400 –> 00:20:27,900
Well, now that you put it that
way.
334
00:20:27,900 –> 00:20:30,300
Yeah, all the science makes
sense, right?
335
00:20:30,500 –> 00:20:34,500
That’s no debt.
Is just another creation myth
336
00:20:34,600 –> 00:20:36,500
that yeah, just another God
story.
337
00:20:36,700 –> 00:20:41,900
This really isn’t science.
It’s not even fucking close.
338
00:20:42,000 –> 00:20:46,100
It’s not even Prometheus by
Ridley, Scott, but he didn’t.
339
00:20:46,100 –> 00:20:48,800
I some of Prometheus awnings.
Yeah, Nova sure.
340
00:20:48,800 –> 00:20:53,200
But that movie, what makes that
movie rule is that they get to
341
00:20:53,200 –> 00:20:57,300
the planet and they The people
that made humans and the people
342
00:20:57,300 –> 00:21:00,100
that made humans are like, why
did you make us and the things
343
00:21:00,100 –> 00:21:02,600
are like, we don’t even know you
we don’t give a shit.
344
00:21:02,600 –> 00:21:05,200
What the heck we made you
because we farted and like we
345
00:21:05,200 –> 00:21:07,500
just felt like doing it.
It’s so good.
346
00:21:08,800 –> 00:21:12,300
The other thing you got to take
into account about Erich, von
347
00:21:12,300 –> 00:21:14,000
daniken.
At least early in life.
348
00:21:14,000 –> 00:21:18,100
He was a little bit of a
criminal and yes, yes, at 19.
349
00:21:18,100 –> 00:21:21,100
He was given a four month,
suspended sentence for stealing
350
00:21:21,100 –> 00:21:23,600
money from a youth camp.
He was working at as a
351
00:21:23,608 –> 00:21:28,100
counselor.
Mmm, NBD, no big sure.
352
00:21:28,100 –> 00:21:30,600
A psychiatrist who examined him
at the time.
353
00:21:30,600 –> 00:21:33,400
Said he displayed quote, a
tendency to lie.
354
00:21:33,400 –> 00:21:35,900
Sure, but don’t let that deter
you ancient.
355
00:21:35,900 –> 00:21:38,600
Alien Believers, right?
Not long.
356
00:21:38,600 –> 00:21:40,900
After that.
He ran off to Egypt and got
357
00:21:40,900 –> 00:21:44,300
involved in some kind of shady,
jewelry deal, and ended up
358
00:21:44,300 –> 00:21:47,600
spending nine months in jail
over that he claims.
359
00:21:47,600 –> 00:21:51,200
He had a vision while in his
jail cell, but never said
360
00:21:51,200 –> 00:21:55,700
explicitly, what that Vision was
sure, but Apparently it involved
361
00:21:55,700 –> 00:22:00,500
him embezzling money from his
hotel job to finance a bullshit
362
00:22:00,500 –> 00:22:04,100
book about ancient astronauts
because that’s what he spent.
363
00:22:04,100 –> 00:22:09,100
The next 12 years doing.
This book is financed, through
364
00:22:09,100 –> 00:22:13,700
embezzled money that Erich von
daniken stole from his employer
365
00:22:13,900 –> 00:22:17,600
and that’s how he got caught.
He was working at a hotel and
366
00:22:17,600 –> 00:22:20,500
eventually people were like, how
are you making all these fucking
367
00:22:20,500 –> 00:22:21,900
trips to Egypt?
Dude?
368
00:22:22,600 –> 00:22:25,000
What are you doing?
And it turned out.
369
00:22:25,000 –> 00:22:27,500
Yeah, he was just stealing money
left and right from his
370
00:22:27,500 –> 00:22:31,000
employer.
So he, you know, did here in
371
00:22:31,000 –> 00:22:34,000
prison for that.
You love the the ambition.
372
00:22:34,100 –> 00:22:39,400
I got to say, don’t you like the
hutzpah at his trial, a
373
00:22:39,400 –> 00:22:42,700
court-appointed psychiatrist
described him as a liar and a
374
00:22:42,708 –> 00:22:44,600
criminal psychopath.
Yeah.
375
00:22:46,900 –> 00:22:49,400
But also a genius.
Sure.
376
00:22:49,400 –> 00:22:51,000
Yeah.
Also a Visionary.
377
00:22:51,000 –> 00:22:53,600
Yeah.
Who saw through the truth of the
378
00:22:53,600 –> 00:22:54,600
world?
Yeah.
379
00:22:54,600 –> 00:22:58,000
I’m sure they called every
Prophet a psychopath at some
380
00:22:58,000 –> 00:23:00,600
point, right?
Of course.
381
00:23:01,100 –> 00:23:05,000
I felt gross, just saying that.
Yeah, seriously, Jesus, but the
382
00:23:05,000 –> 00:23:08,300
thing is, by this point, he had
already published Chariots of
383
00:23:08,300 –> 00:23:11,200
the Gods.
So, by the time he was caught
384
00:23:11,200 –> 00:23:13,800
and served a year in prison,
that just gave him time to write
385
00:23:13,800 –> 00:23:16,600
a second book like he, Had the
money to pay back the hundred
386
00:23:16,600 –> 00:23:19,800
and thirty thousand dollars.
So he just like took a took a
387
00:23:19,800 –> 00:23:21,200
vacay.
Yeah.
388
00:23:21,200 –> 00:23:23,500
Granted a vacay in.
Well, no, it would have been a
389
00:23:23,508 –> 00:23:25,600
Swiss prison.
So yeah, he took he went on
390
00:23:25,600 –> 00:23:27,200
vacation for a year.
Yeah.
391
00:23:27,200 –> 00:23:29,700
I mean hey, I’m yeah, I’ve been
in worse.
392
00:23:29,800 –> 00:23:37,600
Yeah, I’m sure I’m sure.
Yeah we talked.
393
00:23:38,700 –> 00:23:41,200
Yeah, that was more based on
what I imagine a Swiss
394
00:23:41,200 –> 00:23:44,100
prisoners.
Like I’ve seen pictures.
395
00:23:44,100 –> 00:23:45,400
They look nice.
Nice.
396
00:23:45,400 –> 00:23:48,200
Yeah, which not the worst thing.
I’m not mad.
397
00:23:48,200 –> 00:23:50,000
No, I think prisons could be
nicer.
398
00:23:50,000 –> 00:23:51,800
Yeah, especially in this
country.
399
00:23:51,800 –> 00:23:53,600
Holy I mean look, we can’t get
into it.
400
00:23:53,600 –> 00:23:56,200
Abolition sidebar on this
episode.
401
00:23:56,200 –> 00:24:00,000
There’s too much.
So all of this by itself is
402
00:24:00,000 –> 00:24:03,900
enough reason to call the
motives of the guy who wrote
403
00:24:03,900 –> 00:24:07,300
ancient alien Theory or
popularized it into question,
404
00:24:07,300 –> 00:24:10,500
but in that Playboy interview,
we mentioned earlier, which I
405
00:24:10,500 –> 00:24:14,100
cannot recommend enough.
The only thing I don’t like
406
00:24:14,100 –> 00:24:15,700
about it is that there’s no
Video.
407
00:24:15,700 –> 00:24:19,700
Yeah, because this is an actual
journalist who asks, actual
408
00:24:19,700 –> 00:24:23,600
questions at one point Erich.
Von daniken says, I feel like
409
00:24:23,600 –> 00:24:26,500
I’m being interrogated now.
I don’t like well then don’t
410
00:24:26,700 –> 00:24:29,300
tell us civilization was started
by Time Travelers.
411
00:24:29,300 –> 00:24:31,600
Dude.
Someone is going to interrogate
412
00:24:31,600 –> 00:24:34,900
you over an opinion like that.
And let me tell you he does not
413
00:24:34,900 –> 00:24:37,300
hold up.
Well, no, he doesn’t make it.
414
00:24:37,300 –> 00:24:40,400
Convincing argument when
presented with facts.
415
00:24:41,000 –> 00:24:43,500
For one thing.
There’s this quote because he
416
00:24:43,500 –> 00:24:46,500
gets Accused by this writer.
Of, you know, just kind of
417
00:24:46,508 –> 00:24:50,800
cherry-picking ideas and then
ignoring the stuff that doesn’t
418
00:24:50,800 –> 00:24:53,200
fit his theory.
Even if it would undermine his
419
00:24:53,200 –> 00:24:57,400
theory.
And here is his Ironclad defense
420
00:24:57,500 –> 00:25:00,100
of that.
It’s true that I accept, what I
421
00:25:00,100 –> 00:25:02,600
like and reject what?
I don’t like, but every
422
00:25:02,600 –> 00:25:05,600
Theologian does the same.
Everyone accepts what he needs
423
00:25:05,600 –> 00:25:08,400
for his theory into the rest.
He says that’s a
424
00:25:08,400 –> 00:25:10,300
misunderstanding.
It’s like, well, then what the
425
00:25:10,300 –> 00:25:14,600
fuck are we talking about?
I mean, he’s not wrong.
426
00:25:15,100 –> 00:25:20,200
Of course, but but also he is
kind of giving away the game
427
00:25:20,200 –> 00:25:25,500
there and one of the things the
writer interviewing him mentions
428
00:25:25,500 –> 00:25:29,900
is well in your book, you just
outright dismissed theologians
429
00:25:30,000 –> 00:25:34,600
as basing all of their theories
on nonsense and like why.
430
00:25:34,900 –> 00:25:37,500
So now you’re just saying what I
do, what the theologians do but
431
00:25:37,500 –> 00:25:40,900
you’re saying theologians aren’t
doing things the right way and
432
00:25:40,900 –> 00:25:44,800
that you have like a more
scientifically provable answer.
433
00:25:45,000 –> 00:25:48,300
And you clearly don’t and he was
just like, yeah, what are you
434
00:25:48,300 –> 00:25:51,900
gonna do?
So, you say, yeah, they also
435
00:25:51,900 –> 00:25:55,200
asked him about a few different
things in his books and movies
436
00:25:55,200 –> 00:25:57,300
that have been called into
question.
437
00:25:57,300 –> 00:26:01,100
Like how he says, he visited a
cave in Ecuador that has a
438
00:26:01,100 –> 00:26:05,100
library of gold plates from A
Lost Civilization inside it,
439
00:26:05,100 –> 00:26:09,000
along with seven chairs, made of
a plastic-like material and a
440
00:26:09,000 –> 00:26:13,000
zoo of solid gold animals.
Wow, they should put that in the
441
00:26:13,000 –> 00:26:15,300
movie.
They really should have Have
442
00:26:15,300 –> 00:26:18,400
that would have been cool.
I would have liked to see it.
443
00:26:18,400 –> 00:26:22,500
Yeah, as it turns out the guy he
says, took him to that cave.
444
00:26:22,700 –> 00:26:26,600
Came out later and said, no, I
didn’t we do that.
445
00:26:28,200 –> 00:26:32,700
He actually said, Erich von
daniken had never been in those
446
00:26:32,700 –> 00:26:35,700
caves, of course.
And when the interviewer asked
447
00:26:35,700 –> 00:26:39,400
him about that, he tap dances
around it, and says that he
448
00:26:39,400 –> 00:26:42,500
didn’t go in the caves with that
guy, right.
449
00:26:42,500 –> 00:26:46,300
But that he did go in the caves
but He also didn’t go in the
450
00:26:46,300 –> 00:26:49,400
caves described or he didn’t go
in the caves through the
451
00:26:49,400 –> 00:26:52,900
entrance described in his book.
He went through a different
452
00:26:52,900 –> 00:26:57,000
entrance, the back Dory and also
he had never actually been to
453
00:26:57,000 –> 00:27:00,800
any of the areas shown in
pictures in the book, but beyond
454
00:27:00,800 –> 00:27:03,800
that, dude, of course, he went
to the caves.
455
00:27:04,000 –> 00:27:06,800
Yeah, right.
Like it seems like there would
456
00:27:06,800 –> 00:27:09,000
be no defense once you admit all
that.
457
00:27:09,000 –> 00:27:12,000
Like yeah, I didn’t actually go.
I just wrote it and there is
458
00:27:12,000 –> 00:27:13,700
none.
His defense is why I’m taking
459
00:27:13,700 –> 00:27:15,700
creative Liberties.
That’s What right?
460
00:27:15,700 –> 00:27:18,200
That’s what we do as writers.
And it’s like, not if you’re
461
00:27:18,200 –> 00:27:22,300
calling your book science.
I mean, this is, It’s actually
462
00:27:22,300 –> 00:27:27,300
kind of just an interesting
insight into a pathological liar
463
00:27:27,600 –> 00:27:32,400
and that he did not have to
mention a specific real person.
464
00:27:32,500 –> 00:27:34,700
That would have saved him a lot
of trouble.
465
00:27:34,900 –> 00:27:38,600
If he said I’m going, I went
into the cave with this guy.
466
00:27:38,700 –> 00:27:42,100
Like why wouldn’t you just named
a fake person or just say, I
467
00:27:42,100 –> 00:27:44,900
went in alone?
Why I named a real person?
468
00:27:45,000 –> 00:27:48,900
We’ll then discredit your story.
Also his German publisher,
469
00:27:48,900 –> 00:27:52,500
financed an expedition to these
caves after all of these stories
470
00:27:52,500 –> 00:27:54,200
came out.
And guess what?
471
00:27:54,300 –> 00:27:56,700
What couldn’t reach them for
some reason.
472
00:27:56,708 –> 00:28:00,600
Erich von daniken, could write
well, of course, he’s Superman.
473
00:28:00,900 –> 00:28:01,800
Yeah.
He’s the Ubermensch.
474
00:28:02,300 –> 00:28:06,900
He’s an experienced terrain.
Coverer.
475
00:28:06,900 –> 00:28:08,100
Yeah.
He’s a caver.
476
00:28:08,100 –> 00:28:09,400
He goes caving.
I don’t know.
477
00:28:09,400 –> 00:28:11,600
He’s one of these like those
girls from his descent.
478
00:28:11,600 –> 00:28:13,600
Yeah, he’s a fraud.
He’s a con man.
479
00:28:14,100 –> 00:28:16,000
Yeah, I’m sure everything is.
Else in the book is true,
480
00:28:16,000 –> 00:28:17,900
though.
Sure, except probably not
481
00:28:17,900 –> 00:28:22,000
because the Playboy interviewer
also asks about a theory that
482
00:28:22,000 –> 00:28:24,800
Von daniken presents in a
different book, which is called
483
00:28:24,800 –> 00:28:26,800
gold of the Gods.
I think that’s what he wrote in
484
00:28:26,800 –> 00:28:30,000
prison after Chariot of the Gods
came out.
485
00:28:31,400 –> 00:28:36,400
And that book there is a theory
that suggests the banana was
486
00:28:36,400 –> 00:28:39,700
brought to Earth from space.
Sure.
487
00:28:40,200 –> 00:28:43,000
And this writer is like, were
you serious about that?
488
00:28:43,000 –> 00:28:44,900
Or were you joking and Erich
von?
489
00:28:45,100 –> 00:28:47,300
Seems like of course.
I was joking.
490
00:28:47,900 –> 00:28:51,100
People just didn’t realize it
and it’s like well because
491
00:28:51,100 –> 00:28:54,300
you’re writing a book that you
say is based on science in the
492
00:28:54,300 –> 00:28:58,400
sense when our scientist
dropping their bananas, fell to
493
00:28:58,400 –> 00:29:02,200
Earth from space b into their
legitimate science, like why
494
00:29:02,200 –> 00:29:04,600
not?
Assume you were joking like what
495
00:29:04,600 –> 00:29:06,100
the fuck?
I mean.
496
00:29:06,200 –> 00:29:09,700
Yeah, he seems like a complete
nutcase.
497
00:29:09,700 –> 00:29:12,200
I mean, he’s a piece of work
pathological, liar.
498
00:29:12,200 –> 00:29:14,000
That’s kind of the vibe I get
from him.
499
00:29:14,300 –> 00:29:16,400
Yeah.
And it seems like the vibe
500
00:29:16,600 –> 00:29:19,700
Psychiatry has gotten about him
throughout his life.
501
00:29:20,100 –> 00:29:24,300
And so, once he admits all of
this was just made-up nonsense.
502
00:29:24,300 –> 00:29:26,500
They asked him the next obvious
question.
503
00:29:26,500 –> 00:29:28,400
Here’s a quote that leads us to
ask.
504
00:29:28,400 –> 00:29:32,300
If all your writing is a put on.
Are you as one writer suggested
505
00:29:32,400 –> 00:29:36,500
the most brilliant satirist in
German literature for a century
506
00:29:36,700 –> 00:29:39,900
and his answer.
Yes, and no, we haven’t.
507
00:29:39,900 –> 00:29:43,900
Wonderful term in German Jane.
It’s a combination of jaw and
508
00:29:43,900 –> 00:29:46,600
name.
So, Yes, and no wouldn’t be.
509
00:29:46,600 –> 00:29:49,500
Jane Jane.
Yes, or you’re lying.
510
00:29:49,600 –> 00:29:51,700
It would be lying because yeah,
and 90.
511
00:29:51,900 –> 00:29:53,900
Yeah.
Yeah, I ain’t is in the Hein.
512
00:29:54,300 –> 00:29:58,200
So that was his answer whether
the most brilliant satirist in
513
00:29:58,200 –> 00:30:00,300
German literature for a century
Yang.
514
00:30:00,300 –> 00:30:03,100
It’s a part.
Absolutely not.
515
00:30:03,200 –> 00:30:04,300
It means.
Yes.
516
00:30:04,300 –> 00:30:06,600
And no in some part.
Absolutely not.
517
00:30:06,700 –> 00:30:10,000
I mean, what I say, seriously in
other ways, I mean to make
518
00:30:10,000 –> 00:30:12,000
people laugh.
Okay.
519
00:30:12,000 –> 00:30:15,500
Well, where’s the disclaimer to
that effect on a of your Work.
520
00:30:15,500 –> 00:30:18,600
He’s like the Joker ages.
Is he just wants to make people
521
00:30:18,600 –> 00:30:19,500
laugh.
Yeah.
522
00:30:19,600 –> 00:30:21,800
It’s a really revealing
interview.
523
00:30:21,800 –> 00:30:25,200
Like if you have found yourself
sucked into ancient alien
524
00:30:25,200 –> 00:30:28,800
Theory, please go read this
interview with Erich, von
525
00:30:28,800 –> 00:30:33,200
daniken and at least get more of
a feel for the person who came
526
00:30:33,200 –> 00:30:36,300
up with this Theory.
Yeah, because he is a fucking
527
00:30:36,300 –> 00:30:40,500
fraud and there’s more because
there’s another detail.
528
00:30:40,500 –> 00:30:43,800
I did not know about this book
until researching it for this
529
00:30:43,800 –> 00:30:46,300
episode.
This almost Never comes up, but
530
00:30:46,300 –> 00:30:49,800
it’s sort of backs up the theory
that ancient alien theory is not
531
00:30:49,800 –> 00:30:52,100
see bullshit.
Yeah, the book Chariots of the
532
00:30:52,100 –> 00:30:57,100
Gods was rejected several times
by Publishers until it was
533
00:30:57,100 –> 00:31:01,300
extensively.
Rewritten by a guy named Wilhelm
534
00:31:01,600 –> 00:31:03,700
butterman.
Who is he’s my I believe it’s
535
00:31:03,700 –> 00:31:08,600
pronounced this hell mucha man,
correct.
536
00:31:08,700 –> 00:31:12,400
Fun fact about that guy.
Most bios described him as
537
00:31:12,400 –> 00:31:17,600
quote, a best-selling not See
and if nothing else he
538
00:31:17,600 –> 00:31:22,500
definitely contributed to focus.
Erbil Boxster, worthy, völkisch,
539
00:31:22,500 –> 00:31:25,000
Observer, the official newspaper
of the Third Reich.
540
00:31:25,000 –> 00:31:27,000
So that’s cool.
Cool math.
541
00:31:27,000 –> 00:31:29,500
There’s nothing Nazi or white
supremacists about you.
542
00:31:29,500 –> 00:31:34,600
Love to have that in your bio.
Best-selling Nazi author.
543
00:31:34,600 –> 00:31:36,400
Yeah.
He just had his manuscript
544
00:31:36,400 –> 00:31:38,500
whipped into shape by the Third
Reich.
545
00:31:38,700 –> 00:31:40,800
That doesn’t make this a Nazi
idea.
546
00:31:41,000 –> 00:31:44,800
Come on, how, how did this guy
live, you know.
547
00:31:45,300 –> 00:31:48,300
Like, just in general, like how
did he escape?
548
00:31:48,400 –> 00:31:53,100
I want to know that story if he
was literally editor of the Nazi
549
00:31:53,100 –> 00:31:57,900
newspaper in WWII how she Livin,
I don’t understand.
550
00:31:57,900 –> 00:32:00,000
Contributor contributor.
Sure.
551
00:32:00,000 –> 00:32:03,800
Okay, he went on to make movies
like after WWII like he was a
552
00:32:03,808 –> 00:32:06,700
German filmmaker.
So yeah, he apparently the again
553
00:32:06,700 –> 00:32:10,500
scot-free, how, how?
I don’t understand.
554
00:32:10,500 –> 00:32:12,400
I don’t know.
We really crack down on
555
00:32:12,400 –> 00:32:13,900
ex-nazis.
Yeah, that’s true.
556
00:32:13,900 –> 00:32:16,600
Well, I mean, you know, Why
didn’t Magneto go after this
557
00:32:16,600 –> 00:32:18,000
guy?
That’s what I want to know.
558
00:32:19,300 –> 00:32:21,400
So let’s go through the
documentary.
559
00:32:21,400 –> 00:32:23,900
We’re not going to hit it beat
for beat, but we can talk about
560
00:32:23,900 –> 00:32:25,200
it is because I’m going to be
honest.
561
00:32:25,200 –> 00:32:28,100
I fell asleep.
Well, of course, we literally
562
00:32:28,100 –> 00:32:32,200
cannot get it beat for beat
because it is the same beat.
563
00:32:32,300 –> 00:32:36,900
We can only cover.
So many examples of oh, well,
564
00:32:37,000 –> 00:32:39,200
this is made up.
There’s nothing to this.
565
00:32:39,200 –> 00:32:42,500
This is all just bullshit.
Like he doesn’t offer any
566
00:32:42,500 –> 00:32:45,100
sources.
He just says, wouldn’t it be
567
00:32:45,100 –> 00:32:48,000
cool if this were aliens moving
on?
568
00:32:48,400 –> 00:32:54,200
Yeah, and it’s presented in that
very scholarly or educational
569
00:32:54,200 –> 00:32:56,300
way.
That a lot of documentaries used
570
00:32:56,300 –> 00:32:59,200
to be like, before we realize,
you know, you could, you could
571
00:32:59,200 –> 00:33:02,700
have fucking Tarantino narrate
this if you want like that could
572
00:33:02,700 –> 00:33:04,800
be Samuel L Jackson and you’re
hiring.
573
00:33:04,800 –> 00:33:08,800
This guy going to its
pleasurable viewing experience.
574
00:33:08,800 –> 00:33:14,900
It feels like watching a kind of
boring PBS documentary and
575
00:33:14,900 –> 00:33:16,800
that’s kind of just a soothing
Vibe.
576
00:33:17,000 –> 00:33:18,700
Yeah.
It’s definitely that It’s
577
00:33:18,700 –> 00:33:21,600
definitely got some ASMR Vibes.
Yeah, to it.
578
00:33:21,600 –> 00:33:23,300
Like it’s not going to make you
tense.
579
00:33:23,400 –> 00:33:25,300
Listen to.
I mean unless you’re like
580
00:33:25,300 –> 00:33:28,500
Googling the actual facts.
But yeah, I think he got
581
00:33:28,500 –> 00:33:31,200
presented.
You kinda gotta let go of
582
00:33:31,200 –> 00:33:35,900
reality to enjoy it at all.
It starts by talking about cargo
583
00:33:35,900 –> 00:33:41,200
Cults, which were a thing that
happened around World War Two,
584
00:33:41,300 –> 00:33:45,200
especially or that’s when it
became popularized and it, yeah,
585
00:33:45,200 –> 00:33:48,300
it was a thing where Allied
Forces in World War Two.
586
00:33:48,400 –> 00:33:52,200
I would come into contact with
tribes or civilizations that had
587
00:33:52,200 –> 00:33:56,200
never seen flying machines or
anything of the like, and they
588
00:33:56,200 –> 00:33:58,200
would land and they would bring
them supplies.
589
00:33:58,400 –> 00:34:01,200
And then when they leave people
would build monuments and things
590
00:34:01,200 –> 00:34:05,300
to try and entice them to come
back and people, let me tell
591
00:34:05,300 –> 00:34:07,500
you, that’s kind of the Crux of
ancient alien Theory.
592
00:34:07,900 –> 00:34:09,699
It’s okay.
You know how that happened in
593
00:34:09,699 –> 00:34:12,500
World War Two, that happened
like all throughout history, but
594
00:34:12,500 –> 00:34:14,500
it was just like Time,
Travelers, and people coming a
595
00:34:14,500 –> 00:34:18,300
space.
That is not a terrible.
596
00:34:18,500 –> 00:34:19,800
All logical.
Leap.
597
00:34:19,800 –> 00:34:24,300
That’s a logical leaf that I can
follow and I understand but like
598
00:34:24,300 –> 00:34:28,600
you are going to need some
serious evidence in order to
599
00:34:28,600 –> 00:34:32,100
make it stick as reality and
that’s not presented.
600
00:34:32,100 –> 00:34:37,100
Also, I feel like all of the
footage of the cargo Cults was
601
00:34:37,100 –> 00:34:40,800
totally staged so it had to be
right.
602
00:34:40,800 –> 00:34:43,199
Yeah, it felt so fake.
Yeah.
603
00:34:43,199 –> 00:34:46,199
That had Faces of Death Vibes to
yeah.
604
00:34:46,400 –> 00:34:50,300
And like the plane look, Way too
neat.
605
00:34:50,300 –> 00:34:55,600
And like it just didn’t fit.
And it also wouldn’t they have
606
00:34:55,600 –> 00:34:58,200
just turned to the person with
the camera and been like, oh,
607
00:34:58,200 –> 00:35:00,600
you’re one of them, right?
You know, you’ve got a camera.
608
00:35:00,600 –> 00:35:02,600
Wow.
Yeah, we’re and they like have
609
00:35:02,600 –> 00:35:04,400
can’t.
Well, we have cameras when I
610
00:35:04,400 –> 00:35:05,900
will.
They’re used to cameras.
611
00:35:05,900 –> 00:35:08,400
Now at this point, like, I don’t
know.
612
00:35:08,600 –> 00:35:11,700
I don’t know.
It felt staged, their whole
613
00:35:11,700 –> 00:35:16,000
ritual thing that the film opens
with felt rehearsed.
614
00:35:16,100 –> 00:35:20,000
Yeah, it reminded me of I
mentioned Faces of Death
615
00:35:20,000 –> 00:35:22,100
already.
I remember, even when I was
616
00:35:22,100 –> 00:35:24,600
watching that as an
impressionable kid.
617
00:35:24,800 –> 00:35:27,100
Yeah.
I remember there’s this scene.
618
00:35:27,400 –> 00:35:30,700
It’s like a torture
interrogation scene, and I
619
00:35:30,707 –> 00:35:33,800
remember being horrified, but
then after a while, I’m like,
620
00:35:34,100 –> 00:35:36,000
how are they getting all these
camera angles?
621
00:35:36,300 –> 00:35:41,000
This is they really well shot.
It’s the camera angles.
622
00:35:41,000 –> 00:35:43,800
That’s what gets you.
That’s what gets the bad
623
00:35:43,800 –> 00:35:47,700
found-footage movies to this
because one of my favorites is
624
00:35:47,800 –> 00:35:51,200
into the Storm, which is the
tornado found footage movie.
625
00:35:51,400 –> 00:35:55,600
Not seen that, it’s very bad,
but fun, but like, it’s the
626
00:35:55,600 –> 00:35:58,300
found footage can seat in that
movie makes no sense.
627
00:35:58,300 –> 00:36:02,200
There are, there, will suddenly
be like, a camera, like, right
628
00:36:02,200 –> 00:36:05,400
in this Zoom angle with no
explanation.
629
00:36:05,400 –> 00:36:08,000
It’s so strange.
Anyway, but yeah, it does seem
630
00:36:08,000 –> 00:36:11,300
like whenever you’re watching
footage like this, the camera
631
00:36:11,300 –> 00:36:14,900
angles, give it away because
that means people had to stop
632
00:36:14,900 –> 00:36:18,300
filming and move, and sit up
this camera again.
633
00:36:18,400 –> 00:36:21,600
Then and start shooting again
that just adds artificiality.
634
00:36:21,700 –> 00:36:25,300
Yeah, it’s edited together.
Like there’s different angle.
635
00:36:25,300 –> 00:36:28,200
Like they wouldn’t have just sat
there and let that happen.
636
00:36:28,300 –> 00:36:30,600
What?
They, there’s no way I yeah, I
637
00:36:30,600 –> 00:36:33,000
think I’ve only seen parts of
Faces of Death.
638
00:36:33,200 –> 00:36:35,200
I only have ever sat through the
whole thing.
639
00:36:35,300 –> 00:36:37,500
Yeah.
I mean there’s some stuff in it
640
00:36:37,500 –> 00:36:39,400
that I assume is real.
Like there’s some things that
641
00:36:39,400 –> 00:36:41,000
seem like they couldn’t have
been a be created.
642
00:36:41,000 –> 00:36:44,100
But yeah, a lot of it is just
nonsense.
643
00:36:44,400 –> 00:36:46,400
Yeah, just like ancient alien
theory.
644
00:36:46,400 –> 00:36:47,200
Yes.
Yeah.
645
00:36:47,200 –> 00:36:52,200
Face is a death of Hence the
here it is, the death of
646
00:36:52,200 –> 00:36:55,500
science.
So yeah, that’s kind of the
647
00:36:55,500 –> 00:36:59,600
theory here is that all of the
world’s religions started in
648
00:36:59,600 –> 00:37:05,100
this exact way with visitors
from outer space or from the
649
00:37:05,100 –> 00:37:10,500
skies landing and imparting
knowledge on right people which
650
00:37:10,600 –> 00:37:13,300
again that’s just origin
stories.
651
00:37:13,300 –> 00:37:17,800
Like a lot of like a lot of
religions and groups.
652
00:37:17,900 –> 00:37:19,900
Hell, yeah.
Yeah, belief systems that work
653
00:37:19,900 –> 00:37:22,400
that way.
And the problem is this doesn’t
654
00:37:22,400 –> 00:37:26,300
present any extra evidence to
sort bad idea.
655
00:37:26,600 –> 00:37:29,200
No.
And it’s very Western in
656
00:37:29,200 –> 00:37:32,100
addition to being racist.
It’s also just generally Western
657
00:37:32,400 –> 00:37:36,600
chauvinist modern Western
chauvinist and that it assumes
658
00:37:36,600 –> 00:37:41,800
that any culture that wasn’t
European from the past, could
659
00:37:41,800 –> 00:37:46,400
not achieve anything.
It has no concept of human
660
00:37:46,400 –> 00:37:48,300
ability, like humans are
capable.
661
00:37:48,400 –> 00:37:53,700
Bull of doing insane things when
we all get together and put our
662
00:37:53,700 –> 00:37:56,400
minds to it like throughout
history.
663
00:37:56,400 –> 00:38:00,400
Crazy things have been done and
like they are tough to explain
664
00:38:00,400 –> 00:38:03,200
but they existed like the
Library of Alexandria.
665
00:38:03,200 –> 00:38:07,700
We know that existed even though
it disappeared, but like there’s
666
00:38:07,700 –> 00:38:10,300
knowledge there.
They had knowledge that they
667
00:38:10,300 –> 00:38:14,100
shared with each other, and they
knew how to make things like the
668
00:38:14,100 –> 00:38:17,100
whole thing with the pyramids.
Again, the whole thing.
669
00:38:17,100 –> 00:38:23,000
All they do is say, Doesn’t it
seem so hard to believe that
670
00:38:23,000 –> 00:38:30,200
people from so long ago, could
build something like this with
671
00:38:30,200 –> 00:38:34,000
these heavy bricks and blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah.
672
00:38:34,100 –> 00:38:35,700
It’s like yeah, it’s hard to
believe.
673
00:38:35,700 –> 00:38:38,100
But it happened.
We have a fucking pyramids.
674
00:38:38,100 –> 00:38:42,700
People did crazy shits and a lot
of times with stuff like that
675
00:38:42,700 –> 00:38:45,600
where they’re like, can you
believe like would you how would
676
00:38:45,600 –> 00:38:48,000
they have done this?
They’ll sometimes back it up by
677
00:38:48,000 –> 00:38:50,000
saying?
We can’t do it now.
678
00:38:50,100 –> 00:38:52,000
Like this would take someone
doing it now.
679
00:38:52,000 –> 00:38:54,900
A lot of time and it’s like,
well, then those aren’t Time
680
00:38:54,900 –> 00:38:58,700
Travelers because we forgot,
right?
681
00:38:58,700 –> 00:39:02,400
Well, yeah, we learn how to
build pyramids, right again.
682
00:39:02,400 –> 00:39:05,800
And then we come back and what
were we even trying to build if
683
00:39:05,800 –> 00:39:08,200
they’d also like, like what is
happening?
684
00:39:08,400 –> 00:39:11,700
I think there’s lots of things
that people in the past could do
685
00:39:11,700 –> 00:39:15,000
that.
I personally as a person now,
686
00:39:15,000 –> 00:39:18,300
could not, do I know that, I
know that most people couldn’t
687
00:39:18,300 –> 00:39:23,600
Can’t do things like Mongolian
archers from like the 1600’s,
688
00:39:23,800 –> 00:39:27,300
you know, like doing insane
things with bows and arrows on a
689
00:39:27,308 –> 00:39:32,300
horse and almost no one can do
that anymore because there’s not
690
00:39:32,300 –> 00:39:36,700
a need for horseback archery in
the same way, even when they
691
00:39:36,700 –> 00:39:40,100
talk about stuff, like they’re
sort of being evidence that
692
00:39:40,100 –> 00:39:44,800
maybe there was a nuclear
explosion at some point on Earth
693
00:39:44,800 –> 00:39:48,300
in the past.
It’s like listen, maybe but also
694
00:39:48,500 –> 00:39:51,600
Still doesn’t mean aliens could
just mean there was knowledge.
695
00:39:51,600 –> 00:39:57,000
We had that has since been lost.
But also the nuclear explosion
696
00:39:57,000 –> 00:40:01,000
thing was stretch.
Even by this movie.
697
00:40:01,400 –> 00:40:06,000
I could not believe that leap of
like, it’s a nuclear explosion,
698
00:40:06,000 –> 00:40:08,200
bro.
And I really like, okay.
699
00:40:08,200 –> 00:40:11,100
Well, what else could have come
down from the skies and caused
700
00:40:11,100 –> 00:40:13,900
an explosion like that.
Any number of things meteors,
701
00:40:13,900 –> 00:40:18,200
asteroids comets fucking time
travelers.
702
00:40:18,300 –> 00:40:22,800
In airplanes, that’s assuming
that there was an explosion.
703
00:40:22,900 –> 00:40:25,400
We are here thousands of years
later.
704
00:40:25,400 –> 00:40:30,400
We don’t know what happened.
We are looking at surface level
705
00:40:30,400 –> 00:40:34,100
evidence and making these
conclusions that don’t make any
706
00:40:34,100 –> 00:40:37,100
fucking sense.
And again, like I said about it
707
00:40:37,100 –> 00:40:39,600
being so Western chauvinist.
There’s like there’s so many
708
00:40:39,600 –> 00:40:43,700
points that made me so angry.
Like when they are talking about
709
00:40:43,700 –> 00:40:48,200
in Iraq, how they found an
ancient device, that could be
710
00:40:48,400 –> 00:40:52,200
Used to make a electric cell
like a battery, right?
711
00:40:52,300 –> 00:40:56,800
And then the narrator’s, like
yet, count Volta invented the
712
00:40:56,800 –> 00:41:00,700
electric cell. 1,500 years
later.
713
00:41:00,700 –> 00:41:04,000
I’m like, well, then maybe he
wasn’t the first fucking person
714
00:41:04,000 –> 00:41:06,200
to do.
It seems like these people in
715
00:41:06,200 –> 00:41:09,500
Iraq.
Figured it out thousand years
716
00:41:09,500 –> 00:41:12,500
earlier.
So maybe he wasn’t that special
717
00:41:12,500 –> 00:41:17,600
and maybe someone went to Iraq
and found the instructions for
718
00:41:17,600 –> 00:41:20,800
how to make Something like that
and took it back to Europe and
719
00:41:20,800 –> 00:41:23,300
they were like, all right.
I mean they were going to make
720
00:41:23,300 –> 00:41:25,900
this but also destroy that
evidence that shows that when
721
00:41:25,900 –> 00:41:29,300
Americans who invented it, I
mean that’s possible but also
722
00:41:29,300 –> 00:41:32,500
it’s also possible that just
like people forgot how to make
723
00:41:32,500 –> 00:41:36,900
batteries across cultures and in
someone else, quote reinvented
724
00:41:36,900 –> 00:41:39,700
it, parallel thinking happens
all the time and then another
725
00:41:39,700 –> 00:41:43,600
quote that just again drove me.
Insane was they were looking at,
726
00:41:43,700 –> 00:41:48,200
it was somewhere in what they
call the near East, which I
727
00:41:48,400 –> 00:41:50,700
Gives the Middle East.
I’m not exactly sure.
728
00:41:50,900 –> 00:41:54,500
But he said looking at this
archaeological discovery of a
729
00:41:54,500 –> 00:41:57,900
polished lens.
That’s very old that’s like and
730
00:41:57,900 –> 00:42:02,800
he says polished lenses.
Weren’t X executed in Europe
731
00:42:02,800 –> 00:42:08,400
before the 16th century and yet
this one was found in the near
732
00:42:08,400 –> 00:42:12,300
East and is almost 2,000 years
old.
733
00:42:12,400 –> 00:42:14,200
I’m like, okay.
Well then.
734
00:42:14,600 –> 00:42:18,200
Yeah, so what they found in it
was like that what?
735
00:42:18,300 –> 00:42:20,400
What’s the?
You’re saying that only a
736
00:42:20,400 –> 00:42:24,600
European could have invented the
polished lens?
737
00:42:24,700 –> 00:42:26,800
Like, what is the comparison
here?
738
00:42:26,800 –> 00:42:29,200
Well, here’s this is just
proving that there was someone
739
00:42:29,200 –> 00:42:32,200
who made it earlier.
That is what they’re saying, is
740
00:42:32,200 –> 00:42:36,400
the prai.
No, but still like, oh man, a
741
00:42:36,400 –> 00:42:39,100
lot of this when Olivia says
this documentary gets
742
00:42:39,100 –> 00:42:41,400
repetitive.
It’s because what it does.
743
00:42:41,500 –> 00:42:44,700
One of the first things they get
into is examples of the Bible
744
00:42:44,700 –> 00:42:49,300
seeming, to cite things that
seem like, A little more modern
745
00:42:49,300 –> 00:42:52,200
than they should be or like
advanced technology or visitors
746
00:42:52,200 –> 00:42:54,400
from outer space.
And then they do that with every
747
00:42:54,400 –> 00:42:56,900
possible religious text.
Yeah.
748
00:42:56,900 –> 00:43:02,300
And book and anything that they
clearly the next two hours every
749
00:43:02,300 –> 00:43:04,300
cave painting, they show this
cave.
750
00:43:04,300 –> 00:43:09,300
Painting towards the end.
That was from Russia.
751
00:43:09,300 –> 00:43:15,300
I think that literally came from
a Russian newsletter about
752
00:43:15,300 –> 00:43:18,200
Ancient Aliens, like it was a
made-up cave.
753
00:43:18,300 –> 00:43:22,300
Eating for a newsletter that
then was put on a cave and they
754
00:43:22,300 –> 00:43:25,900
took pictures of it for the
movie and said, this is a cave
755
00:43:25,900 –> 00:43:29,700
painting from thousands of years
ago, showing Ancient Aliens.
756
00:43:29,900 –> 00:43:33,500
Yeah, it’s one of the many
things, the Playboy interview
757
00:43:33,500 –> 00:43:37,400
calls him out over and it turns
out he I don’t think ever saw
758
00:43:37,400 –> 00:43:38,900
that painting.
Never.
759
00:43:38,900 –> 00:43:41,600
There’s like, never even any
confirmation that it was ever
760
00:43:41,600 –> 00:43:45,400
real.
I think it’s just nonsense, and
761
00:43:45,400 –> 00:43:47,300
there’s a whole lot of that.
There’s a lot of him
762
00:43:47,300 –> 00:43:50,000
cherry-picking.
Quotes from The Bible.
763
00:43:50,000 –> 00:43:54,200
And then ignoring other quotes,
like, in one religious text.
764
00:43:54,200 –> 00:43:57,900
It mentions that something that
came down from the sky, had the
765
00:43:57,900 –> 00:44:02,200
face of a man, and then this
Playboy writer is like, yeah,
766
00:44:02,200 –> 00:44:05,100
but it also says that one of
them had like, the face of a
767
00:44:05,107 –> 00:44:07,300
cow.
And one of them here Eagle.
768
00:44:07,300 –> 00:44:10,600
It’s like well, what about those
and like he answers them but
769
00:44:10,600 –> 00:44:13,400
it’s like, well, why don’t you
address that in the book?
770
00:44:13,400 –> 00:44:16,500
And it’s because this is a
bullshit Theory.
771
00:44:16,500 –> 00:44:19,000
Yeah.
That’s the We answer.
772
00:44:19,000 –> 00:44:23,500
There we go.
And again, I fell asleep before
773
00:44:23,500 –> 00:44:26,300
this documentary ended, but I /
fucking get it.
774
00:44:26,400 –> 00:44:29,500
So I’m not sure.
Maybe you can tell me, does the
775
00:44:29,500 –> 00:44:31,400
iron pillar of Delhi?
Come up.
776
00:44:32,300 –> 00:44:36,200
No, I don’t believe so better.
Not because here’s the thing
777
00:44:36,200 –> 00:44:39,600
about the iron pillar of Delhi.
This comes up in the book
778
00:44:39,600 –> 00:44:45,100
version of Chariots of the Gods,
which came out in 1968 and he
779
00:44:45,100 –> 00:44:50,700
cites it as just one of the most
Finn itive pieces of proof that
780
00:44:50,700 –> 00:44:54,500
there was alien intervention in
human society.
781
00:44:54,500 –> 00:44:57,800
At some point, because the
pillar of Delhi, it’s just this
782
00:44:57,900 –> 00:45:00,500
iron pillar.
It’s like an iron post.
783
00:45:00,800 –> 00:45:06,100
That is thousands of years old,
but she’s so old and it’s barely
784
00:45:06,100 –> 00:45:11,300
rusted, and it’s still standing.
Mmm, and he presents it in
785
00:45:11,300 –> 00:45:14,400
Chariots of the Gods, as one.
It has no rust on it.
786
00:45:14,500 –> 00:45:16,600
Yeah.
To no one knows where it came
787
00:45:16,600 –> 00:45:18,700
from or how it was constructed.
Truck today.
788
00:45:18,700 –> 00:45:23,100
And well, before this book was
published, people addressed all
789
00:45:23,100 –> 00:45:25,600
of that.
And by the time the book was
790
00:45:25,600 –> 00:45:27,600
published.
They did know how it was
791
00:45:27,600 –> 00:45:29,000
constructed.
Yeah.
792
00:45:29,100 –> 00:45:32,900
It does have some rust on it.
It’s just the way these
793
00:45:32,900 –> 00:45:35,300
particular Alloys were put
together.
794
00:45:35,600 –> 00:45:38,900
It’s not as prone to rust as
other metals.
795
00:45:38,900 –> 00:45:42,600
So it’s a neat thing.
Yeah, very cool, but its
796
00:45:42,600 –> 00:45:46,300
existence, and creation has been
explained and he just
797
00:45:46,300 –> 00:45:50,900
conveniently leaves.
That part out of the book.
798
00:45:51,000 –> 00:45:53,700
So of course, it’s good that
it’s not in the movie, but it’s
799
00:45:53,700 –> 00:45:58,000
also another example of what
kind of thinking went in, coming
800
00:45:58,000 –> 00:46:01,600
up with this Theory, it’s none.
It’s confirmation bias.
801
00:46:01,600 –> 00:46:06,700
It’s it just honestly, you know,
I know that it’s racist and
802
00:46:06,700 –> 00:46:10,600
evil, but like just the vibe of
the narration.
803
00:46:10,900 –> 00:46:15,200
It feels like you’re listening
to a stoner in 1969.
804
00:46:15,300 –> 00:46:18,000
Just do stream-of-consciousness,
man.
805
00:46:18,200 –> 00:46:21,800
About like the fucking crazy
shit.
806
00:46:21,800 –> 00:46:25,600
You can find out in the world.
And I bet fucking aliens are
807
00:46:25,600 –> 00:46:27,700
involved, man.
Because again, you know, like we
808
00:46:27,700 –> 00:46:30,400
said, there’s never any concrete
point.
809
00:46:30,400 –> 00:46:35,500
It’s always like, but man,
doesn’t it look like a space
810
00:46:35,500 –> 00:46:39,100
suit, man.
That’s that over and over.
811
00:46:39,100 –> 00:46:43,000
Yeah, and it’s like people were
masks back then, like people
812
00:46:43,000 –> 00:46:44,300
were.
All right, so fucking
813
00:46:44,300 –> 00:46:48,500
accoutrement in their rituals,
but also people were Looking
814
00:46:48,500 –> 00:46:53,100
creative and would sometimes
like draw fiction on there, you
815
00:46:53,100 –> 00:46:56,300
know, and that’s what we’re
finding or also, you know, this
816
00:46:56,300 –> 00:46:59,400
was something I was thinking
about a lot because we watched
817
00:46:59,400 –> 00:47:02,300
you know, the whole dot
documentary just had a lot of
818
00:47:02,300 –> 00:47:05,400
cave paintings and and so you
just kind of start to think
819
00:47:05,400 –> 00:47:09,100
about cave paintings.
I bet some of those people are
820
00:47:09,100 –> 00:47:11,700
just shitty artists, you know
what I mean?
821
00:47:12,000 –> 00:47:15,200
They even for the time, there
were people out there in the
822
00:47:15,200 –> 00:47:18,100
cave, painting days, who are
making these beautiful real.
823
00:47:18,200 –> 00:47:22,000
Realistic portraits of their
friends, and neighbors and
824
00:47:22,000 –> 00:47:24,200
paint.
And like, then there’s just this
825
00:47:24,200 –> 00:47:29,100
asshole who’s like, Carvin
fucking Pyramid Head to dude,
826
00:47:29,100 –> 00:47:33,400
into a rock, and that stays
forever and the Beautiful Payton
827
00:47:33,400 –> 00:47:37,200
gets watched away.
That’s as possible or more.
828
00:47:37,200 –> 00:47:39,900
It’s more possible than Ancient
Aliens.
829
00:47:40,000 –> 00:47:42,400
Yeah.
I think the one interesting
830
00:47:42,400 –> 00:47:46,100
thing that comes up in the
documentary and in ancient alien
831
00:47:46,100 –> 00:47:48,100
theory, in general is the Nazca
Lines.
832
00:47:48,200 –> 00:47:50,300
Ends, but those are just
interesting.
833
00:47:50,500 –> 00:47:53,300
They’re very cool.
And there are thing that no one
834
00:47:53,300 –> 00:47:56,300
has ever been able to fully
explain, right?
835
00:47:56,300 –> 00:47:59,700
So, of course, you can be like,
oh, it’s an airport Shirin the,
836
00:47:59,800 –> 00:48:02,300
when the time travelers came
that was the, those were the
837
00:48:02,300 –> 00:48:05,000
runways and things and it’s
like, all right, but what about
838
00:48:05,000 –> 00:48:06,500
the fucking chicken in the
corner?
839
00:48:06,700 –> 00:48:08,900
Right?
That for what’s the Spider-Man?
840
00:48:08,900 –> 00:48:09,500
Yeah.
What?
841
00:48:09,500 –> 00:48:12,200
Yeah, what a guy waving in
grabbing his left.
842
00:48:12,200 –> 00:48:14,500
Kneecap.
What does any of that about,
843
00:48:14,600 –> 00:48:16,600
right?
And like and then the answer is
844
00:48:16,700 –> 00:48:19,300
so people could see it.
Yeah, aliens.
845
00:48:19,400 –> 00:48:22,200
Yeah entertainment, you know,
aliens did the entertainment
846
00:48:22,200 –> 00:48:24,300
while their ships landing and
they also oh it.
847
00:48:24,300 –> 00:48:27,700
They always Trot out, you know,
when you look at these from the
848
00:48:27,700 –> 00:48:29,900
ground, they don’t look like
anything.
849
00:48:29,900 –> 00:48:36,000
They only look like something
from a plane’s height and I’m
850
00:48:36,000 –> 00:48:38,800
like, no.
There are they never met there’s
851
00:48:38,800 –> 00:48:42,800
Hills.
It’s the valley has Cavalli.
852
00:48:42,900 –> 00:48:46,200
There’s Hills all around the
fucking thing like you can see
853
00:48:46,200 –> 00:48:49,200
it from that height people.
Looking down.
854
00:48:49,200 –> 00:48:52,900
And also if you’re standing on
the ground, you can see it.
855
00:48:53,000 –> 00:48:56,000
And also yeah, looks like a cool
like lying design.
856
00:48:56,000 –> 00:48:58,300
Yeah, you’re at least going to
see a bunch of what look like.
857
00:48:58,400 –> 00:49:01,200
I don’t know, like, shallow
canals sort of like, yeah,
858
00:49:01,200 –> 00:49:03,800
they’re mostly just like,
because they’ve been there for
859
00:49:03,800 –> 00:49:07,800
so long and because there’s so
little wind in that region.
860
00:49:07,800 –> 00:49:12,400
They just basically removed like
the top layer of the dirt, and
861
00:49:12,400 –> 00:49:14,600
it kept those lines.
It’s fucking cool.
862
00:49:14,700 –> 00:49:17,400
They’re cool as hell.
And I don’t want you to take
863
00:49:17,400 –> 00:49:22,100
that away from Um, the peruvians
honestly, and that’s actually a
864
00:49:22,100 –> 00:49:23,600
thing.
I don’t know if I put it in the
865
00:49:23,600 –> 00:49:26,700
notes, but that I came across
when I was looking into this,
866
00:49:26,700 –> 00:49:29,700
that’s a complaint.
A lot of people had after
867
00:49:29,800 –> 00:49:33,400
Chariots of the Gods came out,
because people were, like, is no
868
00:49:33,400 –> 00:49:37,100
one going to debunk.
This alien thing, like, No One’s
869
00:49:37,100 –> 00:49:40,900
Gonna Come Out And refute this.
And that’s the one thing that he
870
00:49:40,900 –> 00:49:44,700
presented in this book.
That no one ever really took him
871
00:49:44,700 –> 00:49:47,800
to task over, and it’s because
no one knows.
872
00:49:48,300 –> 00:49:51,700
Like one person thinks it’s like
irrigation related and moving
873
00:49:51,700 –> 00:49:53,200
water, which makes perfect
sense.
874
00:49:53,500 –> 00:49:57,100
One guy thinks it’s related to
textile production because
875
00:49:57,100 –> 00:50:00,000
something they made their had
these in Crimean long threads
876
00:50:00,000 –> 00:50:03,100
and yeah, he could be just, it
could be just art.
877
00:50:03,100 –> 00:50:05,800
It could be religious.
But again, you know, this is
878
00:50:05,800 –> 00:50:09,000
like we were saying earlier.
This is just one of those things
879
00:50:09,000 –> 00:50:13,900
that it is until we literally
actually invent time travel and
880
00:50:13,900 –> 00:50:17,900
even then, who knows it’s just
impossible for us to know, will
881
00:50:17,900 –> 00:50:19,600
know.
Never know for sure.
882
00:50:19,600 –> 00:50:23,200
What the Nazca Lines are.
I hope we invent time travel and
883
00:50:23,200 –> 00:50:28,500
we go back and ask and whoever
we ask is like, oh this it’s an
884
00:50:28,500 –> 00:50:31,400
Etsy store.
It’s just you pay me.
885
00:50:31,400 –> 00:50:34,500
I’ll draw whatever you want on
the ground, go up in the hills
886
00:50:34,500 –> 00:50:36,300
and look at it.
Let’s have an airplane like
887
00:50:36,300 –> 00:50:38,100
those.
Yeah, go ahead times.
888
00:50:38,100 –> 00:50:40,600
Yeah, but yeah, that’s all it
is.
889
00:50:40,600 –> 00:50:43,900
Why would you think it is
airport?
890
00:50:43,900 –> 00:50:46,800
Come on Airport?
You’re sure what you’re crazy,
891
00:50:46,900 –> 00:50:49,300
turns out they have time.
All to write.
892
00:50:49,300 –> 00:50:52,700
They this is whole recursive
Loop.
893
00:50:53,700 –> 00:50:56,500
Yeah.
I mean, you know, I feel I don’t
894
00:50:56,500 –> 00:50:58,100
know the Nazca Lines are just
cool.
895
00:50:58,100 –> 00:51:01,600
That’s all you can say about it.
Yes, that they’re just cool.
896
00:51:01,600 –> 00:51:04,500
I’m glad they exist.
I would love to see them in real
897
00:51:04,500 –> 00:51:07,700
life, which is another side
effect of Chariots of the Gods.
898
00:51:07,700 –> 00:51:11,900
I know it’s been they’ve been
trampled over people drive over
899
00:51:11,900 –> 00:51:14,400
them.
Like people there have been like
900
00:51:14,400 –> 00:51:17,200
Industries set up around
protecting the Nazca Lines.
901
00:51:17,200 –> 00:51:20,100
Be, I mean in, Into the gods in
ancient and Theory.
902
00:51:20,100 –> 00:51:24,300
That’s one of the ways in which
this is just a actually evil
903
00:51:24,600 –> 00:51:30,300
work because it has caused
material harm to important,
904
00:51:30,300 –> 00:51:33,000
historic sites.
Yeah, and that sucks.
905
00:51:33,000 –> 00:51:35,900
I would just like to go like
nearby and look at them.
906
00:51:35,900 –> 00:51:38,500
I don’t need to go down and walk
on them.
907
00:51:38,500 –> 00:51:40,000
Yeah.
No, I mean, ruins it would be
908
00:51:40,000 –> 00:51:43,300
fine to stand on one of those
Hills and just yeah, down silly
909
00:51:43,300 –> 00:51:45,100
Hill.
I’d like to see it from that
910
00:51:45,100 –> 00:51:47,200
angle and then see it from like
ground level.
911
00:51:47,200 –> 00:51:49,000
And I’m done.
Yeah, I’m good.
912
00:51:49,000 –> 00:51:52,100
There are lines in the sand.
I don’t need to be prepared to
913
00:51:52,100 –> 00:51:55,800
do donuts on an ATV.
Yeah, and um, you know, and
914
00:51:55,800 –> 00:51:59,500
massive lines, my own, what
sites like to go to most of the
915
00:51:59,500 –> 00:52:02,500
places that were featured in
this film, which is why it was
916
00:52:02,500 –> 00:52:05,600
generally Pleasant to watch.
Yeah, because it’s like, oh,
917
00:52:05,600 –> 00:52:07,700
yeah.
I know that’s on a dirt bike is
918
00:52:07,700 –> 00:52:11,200
what ya say, right.
Exactly, but it’s like oh yeah,
919
00:52:11,200 –> 00:52:13,900
La Paz is really cool.
I mean, you’re portraying it
920
00:52:13,900 –> 00:52:18,000
like a city of savages, instead
of a modern capital of a Nation.
921
00:52:18,100 –> 00:52:21,700
And yeah, but like, you know,
it’s still cool Easter Island.
922
00:52:21,700 –> 00:52:24,800
I mean, Rapa Nui is what you
should call it, but it’s still
923
00:52:24,800 –> 00:52:27,400
an interesting place.
And those Stone heads are cool.
924
00:52:27,600 –> 00:52:30,300
Like, you know, that’s just kind
of was my vibe through the whole
925
00:52:30,300 –> 00:52:34,100
thing was like, well, you’re
here for awful reasons and
926
00:52:34,100 –> 00:52:38,600
you’re telling me seditious,
like awful, Insidious lies, but
927
00:52:38,600 –> 00:52:41,000
it’s kind of cool.
Like, I like these things.
928
00:52:41,000 –> 00:52:43,300
Like looks very nice.
Yeah.
929
00:52:43,300 –> 00:52:45,300
I always like to look at the
pyramids.
930
00:52:45,400 –> 00:52:48,000
It’s funny that they said we
don’t know anything.
931
00:52:48,200 –> 00:52:50,300
About the Sphinx.
I don’t know.
932
00:52:50,300 –> 00:52:52,100
That seems like a stretch.
Why?
933
00:52:52,100 –> 00:52:53,200
What?
Why don’t we do anything?
934
00:52:53,400 –> 00:52:56,900
I mean, I’m sure we knew Less in
1970 than we might now.
935
00:52:56,900 –> 00:52:59,600
Yes, but we didn’t know when it
was built.
936
00:52:59,600 –> 00:53:02,900
Like it was very weird, how
little information he wanted to
937
00:53:02,900 –> 00:53:06,700
give about the Sphinx, which
seems like it should be like a
938
00:53:06,700 –> 00:53:10,600
big deal and it’s very, you
know, if you want to say
939
00:53:10,600 –> 00:53:13,000
something about aliens.
It’s a big cat guy.
940
00:53:13,300 –> 00:53:17,200
Yeah, was there were there any
moments that stood out to you
941
00:53:17,200 –> 00:53:19,300
that we haven’t.
Discussed that you want to talk
942
00:53:19,300 –> 00:53:22,800
about God, not really it.
All Blends together is the
943
00:53:22,800 –> 00:53:24,400
problem.
Then there’s the part where they
944
00:53:24,400 –> 00:53:30,000
show the dogu, the Japanese
statue from like the Jomon
945
00:53:30,100 –> 00:53:33,500
period.
And that was interesting because
946
00:53:33,500 –> 00:53:38,900
they showed a expert on screen
who was speaking in Russian and
947
00:53:38,900 –> 00:53:45,400
then the narrator just talked
over him and just like a certain
948
00:53:45,400 –> 00:53:48,000
all this stuff and like I’m sure
the guy was also talking.
949
00:53:48,100 –> 00:53:52,100
Think about it, representing an
alien, or whatever, but like,
950
00:53:52,400 –> 00:53:56,200
well, that like, for sure those
dogu statues are pretty cool.
951
00:53:56,200 –> 00:54:00,800
Yeah, they’re like little poofy
arm, dudes with crazy oval
952
00:54:00,800 –> 00:54:05,400
heads, but like Jomon period and
Japan’s fucking interesting in
953
00:54:05,400 –> 00:54:08,200
general.
So I’d rather just go learn
954
00:54:08,200 –> 00:54:10,000
about that.
Watch Princess Mononoke or
955
00:54:10,000 –> 00:54:11,400
something instead.
Yeah.
956
00:54:11,400 –> 00:54:13,000
It really is a whole lot of
that.
957
00:54:13,000 –> 00:54:15,800
It’s a whole lot of.
Well, what were these people
958
00:54:15,800 –> 00:54:17,900
drawing?
Why did it look like that?
959
00:54:18,000 –> 00:54:21,600
At that can’t be anything but an
alien and it’s like, right
960
00:54:21,600 –> 00:54:25,100
motherfuckers are going to find
Pepe the Frog 500 years from now
961
00:54:25,100 –> 00:54:26,900
and be like.
Who was this guy?
962
00:54:26,900 –> 00:54:30,000
No, I think about this some the
luckily so much of it is
963
00:54:30,200 –> 00:54:33,700
executed.
Luckily so much of that bullshit
964
00:54:33,700 –> 00:54:37,600
is just digital.
So like it won’t exist in 500
965
00:54:37,600 –> 00:54:39,900
years.
Yeah, like that’ll yeah.
966
00:54:39,900 –> 00:54:42,600
I mean there was like one moment
where they show like an animal
967
00:54:42,600 –> 00:54:47,300
skull and they claim that it was
killed by a bullet because it
968
00:54:47,300 –> 00:54:50,700
had around All in the middle of
its skull.
969
00:54:50,900 –> 00:54:54,300
And I like it only could have
been killed by a high-speed
970
00:54:54,300 –> 00:54:58,200
projectile on Mike.
You mean like an arrow and you
971
00:54:58,200 –> 00:55:03,700
know, could Rock bullets aren’t
the only thing that can
972
00:55:03,700 –> 00:55:06,500
penetrate a skull.
That’s what zombie movies are
973
00:55:06,500 –> 00:55:07,600
built on.
Yeah.
974
00:55:07,900 –> 00:55:10,900
Something falling off of a tree
a pickaxe.
975
00:55:10,900 –> 00:55:13,900
I don’t know, man.
So, but yeah, other than that,
976
00:55:13,900 –> 00:55:17,000
like, fall on something sharp
and I feel like my pierced the
977
00:55:17,000 –> 00:55:17,900
skull.
Yeah, it all.
978
00:55:18,000 –> 00:55:20,300
Kind of Blended together.
I like I always like to see the
979
00:55:20,300 –> 00:55:22,200
Easter Island.
Heads good dudes.
980
00:55:22,700 –> 00:55:25,700
They seem chill.
They were really good and
981
00:55:25,800 –> 00:55:28,800
everything else again.
It just is like National
982
00:55:28,800 –> 00:55:32,300
Geographic stock footage and
it’s cool to see the world in
983
00:55:32,300 –> 00:55:34,900
the set in 1969.
Yeah.
984
00:55:34,900 –> 00:55:37,900
It’s that’s fun.
Yeah, it’s fun in that way.
985
00:55:38,000 –> 00:55:41,600
If you’re familiar with ancient
alien Theory, you definitely
986
00:55:41,600 –> 00:55:44,800
don’t need to watch this for
information purposes.
987
00:55:44,800 –> 00:55:47,900
Like this is a completist thing.
Like, if you’re just passionate
988
00:55:47,900 –> 00:55:51,100
about Out ancient alien theory.
He want to see where it all
989
00:55:51,100 –> 00:55:54,100
started this.
Yeah, that but it’s sort of
990
00:55:54,100 –> 00:55:55,400
that.
I was going to say.
991
00:55:55,400 –> 00:55:57,700
Yeah, it’s this is not essential
viewing.
992
00:55:57,900 –> 00:56:02,500
In any capacity unless you are
like you said just fascinated in
993
00:56:02,500 –> 00:56:06,500
the history of this thing.
In the fact that this was as a
994
00:56:06,500 –> 00:56:09,400
cultural object.
It is interesting.
995
00:56:09,400 –> 00:56:13,600
And it’s easier to watch than
other conspiracy objects like
996
00:56:13,600 –> 00:56:16,500
this, so them can be a real
struggle.
997
00:56:16,500 –> 00:56:20,300
And this one is at least.
Boring and easy on the eyes.
998
00:56:20,500 –> 00:56:23,700
Yeah, so I think that’s our
episode, right?
999
00:56:23,700 –> 00:56:25,400
Yeah, I think so.
We did it.
1000
00:56:25,400 –> 00:56:26,800
We made it.
Hell.
1001
00:56:26,800 –> 00:56:27,500
Yeah.
Yeah.
1002
00:56:27,500 –> 00:56:29,100
Don’t watch this.
Don’t know.
1003
00:56:29,100 –> 00:56:31,800
Please don’t believe ancient
alien Theory.
1004
00:56:31,800 –> 00:56:34,800
It’s racist.
Bullshit like literal Nazi.
1005
00:56:34,800 –> 00:56:37,500
Bullshit.
Is it God’s?
1006
00:56:37,700 –> 00:56:40,800
It’s just racist.
Like, even if it’s not fully
1007
00:56:40,800 –> 00:56:44,400
funded by Nazis was just seems
like it was if you just think
1008
00:56:44,400 –> 00:56:47,900
about it beyond the surface
level 45 seconds.
1009
00:56:48,100 –> 00:56:51,900
You’ll realize the kind of
racist underbelly that’s
1010
00:56:51,900 –> 00:56:55,900
underneath and how it is taking
credit away from these cultures
1011
00:56:55,900 –> 00:56:58,600
that are fabulous, and are
amazing to learn.
1012
00:56:58,600 –> 00:57:02,300
Go read a history book.
There’s so much out there about
1013
00:57:02,300 –> 00:57:05,700
these ancient cultures and what
they could achieve and how they
1014
00:57:05,700 –> 00:57:08,900
achieved it and that shit’s
fucking fascinating.
1015
00:57:09,200 –> 00:57:13,000
Yeah, and this reminded me of it
so I didn’t hate watching it.
1016
00:57:13,100 –> 00:57:17,900
Otherwise, it’s worthless.
There are some Travel Channel.
1017
00:57:18,000 –> 00:57:20,800
It’s like you’ll learn about
cool places that you’ll probably
1018
00:57:20,800 –> 00:57:22,800
want to go.
See yourself after you see him.
1019
00:57:22,800 –> 00:57:25,000
Like there’s a lot of places
that they show in this that I
1020
00:57:25,000 –> 00:57:28,100
would love to see but not
because I think time traveling
1021
00:57:28,100 –> 00:57:32,000
aliens again built it.
Yeah, just watch a National
1022
00:57:32,000 –> 00:57:34,800
Geographic show.
Watch playing that earthwatch.
1023
00:57:34,800 –> 00:57:38,000
You know, what’s great is that
plant or spin-off that David
1024
00:57:38,000 –> 00:57:40,400
Attenborough did, that was
called?
1025
00:57:40,500 –> 00:57:42,400
I think it was just called
humans.
1026
00:57:42,800 –> 00:57:45,500
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, and it was about an
1027
00:57:45,500 –> 00:57:48,300
anthropological version of
planet Earth, that was about How
1028
00:57:48,300 –> 00:57:53,600
humans survive in different
environments and that shit rules
1029
00:57:53,600 –> 00:57:57,800
and is a million times better
than Chariots of the Gods.
1030
00:57:58,200 –> 00:58:03,200
And it’ll give you just as much
cool mystery of the human race
1031
00:58:03,200 –> 00:58:04,800
shit to think about.
Yeah.
1032
00:58:04,800 –> 00:58:08,400
Yeah watch that instead.
Do we have anything to plug
1033
00:58:08,400 –> 00:58:11,000
before we get out of here?
You know?
1034
00:58:11,000 –> 00:58:15,500
Yeah, you can find me on Twitter
and letterboxed at hi there hide
1035
00:58:15,500 –> 00:58:17,100
our I’m gonna keep plugging my
letterbox.
1036
00:58:17,100 –> 00:58:19,200
Nobody gives a shit.
A ship, but that’s the only
1037
00:58:19,200 –> 00:58:21,000
thing I like writing on these
days.
1038
00:58:21,000 –> 00:58:23,100
I hate tweeting.
It makes me feel bad there.
1039
00:58:23,100 –> 00:58:26,200
Yeah, I’m, I can’t get back into
Twitter.
1040
00:58:26,300 –> 00:58:30,100
It’s rough.
But but I’m happy to post my 0
1041
00:58:30,100 –> 00:58:33,400
star review of Trump versus the
Illuminati and my one star

nice.
Yeah.
1044
00:58:39,900 –> 00:58:41,500
Yeah.

Last week’s essential listening
our review of Trump versus the
1051
00:58:59,800 –> 00:59:01,700
Illuminati.
You gotta check it out.
1052
00:59:01,700 –> 00:59:05,800
Don’t watch the movie.
But, but let’s just do or maybe
1053
00:59:05,800 –> 00:59:06,800
what?
Now don’t watch.
1054
00:59:06,800 –> 00:59:09,500
No, don’t no, I’m serious.
Fuck it.
1055
00:59:09,500 –> 00:59:12,900
Don’t especially not if you’re a
big Sasquatch fan, just watch
1056
00:59:12,900 –> 00:59:15,000
Bigfoot versus the Illuminati.
Instead.
1057
00:59:15,300 –> 00:59:18,200
You know, what, you watch the
man who killed Hitler.
1058
00:59:18,200 –> 00:59:20,200
And then the Bigfoot you ever
seen that movie?
1059
00:59:20,200 –> 00:59:22,300
No, because that’s another one
of those roots.
1060
00:59:22,300 –> 00:59:24,100
Like that just seems like a joke
movie.
1061
00:59:24,400 –> 00:59:29,000
No, it’s a joke.
It is not.
1062
00:59:29,200 –> 00:59:32,400
It is fucking great.
I’m not joking.
1063
00:59:32,600 –> 00:59:34,800
It’s good.
The man who killed Hitler and
1064
00:59:34,800 –> 00:59:38,900
then the Bigfoot is a
legitimately very, very good
1065
00:59:38,900 –> 00:59:40,800
movie.
And it’s like a real movie.
1066
00:59:40,800 –> 00:59:43,100
It’s not the movie.
You’re thinking it is.
1067
00:59:43,100 –> 00:59:45,000
That’s not like some Sharknado
shit.
1068
00:59:45,000 –> 00:59:45,700
It’s not.
Okay.
1069
00:59:45,700 –> 00:59:47,800
Versus okay Luminosity.
Yes.
1070
00:59:48,300 –> 00:59:51,200
Great, then.
I watch it because I saw
1071
00:59:51,200 –> 00:59:53,600
trailers of the posters and
stuff like yeah, I’m like, man.
1072
00:59:53,600 –> 00:59:56,500
I’m so sick of this kind of
thing because here’s the thing.
1073
00:59:56,700 –> 01:00:00,500
Even the title.
You’re like, well, why why
1074
01:00:00,500 –> 01:00:02,600
Hitler?
And Bigfoot ride?
1075
01:00:02,600 –> 01:00:05,800
I mean, yeah, the movie makes it
make sense.
1076
01:00:06,000 –> 01:00:10,100
Like you understand.
Once that happens you get y.
1077
01:00:10,100 –> 01:00:13,000
All right.
Well, yeah, this is the guy who
1078
01:00:13,000 –> 01:00:15,400
has to there is no one else in
pain.
1079
01:00:15,400 –> 01:00:19,900
Send except sort of Became
misogynist, Sam Elliott.
1080
01:00:20,100 –> 01:00:22,200
I mean, yeah, that whole thing.
I hate.
1081
01:00:22,200 –> 01:00:25,200
Yeah.
Yeah, but you still what does
1082
01:00:25,200 –> 01:00:29,600
Annoying discussion, but you
still have to watch movie.
1083
01:00:30,000 –> 01:00:32,900
Oh, yeah, I’m going it sounds
interesting.
1084
01:00:32,900 –> 01:00:34,100
Look.
I like Sam Elliott.
1085
01:00:34,100 –> 01:00:37,000
No bullshit that he says on the
red carpet or whatever, in an
1086
01:00:37,000 –> 01:00:40,100
interview is gonna get change.
That I can’t help it.
1087
01:00:40,100 –> 01:00:42,100
I might what movie again this
weekend.
1088
01:00:42,700 –> 01:00:46,200
I will check it out because I up
until this point had just
1089
01:00:46,200 –> 01:00:50,400
written it off as bullshit.
It, but be surprised I will.
1090
01:00:50,500 –> 01:00:55,200
So that’s my plug, man, who
killed and I think that’s it.
1091
01:00:55,200 –> 01:00:57,500
Let’s get out of here.
Olivia say goodbye.
1092
01:00:57,500 –> 01:00:58,800
Bye.
Goodbye.
1093
01:00:58,800 –> 01:00:59,700
Everybody.
We love you.
