I didn't know that until I looked into this. The common practice of breaking those things down. I think there's also a part of this where the homes and the land that they're built on are actually owned separately. So it is most common. If I were a homeowner in Japan, most homeowners in Japan, if you own an actual home and not an apartment, own the land the home is built on.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
No, like Canada, Australia, UK. It's all over the world. So the first thing I took a look at was, and as you've explained to me in the past, is Japan had this gigantic asset bubble that like largely included real estate. When their economy was exploding, they went through this huge inflationary period of assets in the country. And then I think it was in like- 89.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
That is the most common situation. But technically those things are disconnected. So you might, lease the land itself, own the home that's built on it, and pay a rental fee to the landowner, which is something that happens.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
I think part of this culture of rebuilding and building in general is a huge part of why supply has managed to be so bountiful in a place like this and why they're not dealing with the same housing crisis. They have other economic crises in Japan that are oncoming, right? Yeah. But in comparison, if you looked at a city like Sydney or Vancouver or New York, it's way, way different.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And you'd expect Tokyo to be in a similar position to those places.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Well, so there is an asterisk. When I was there talking to a few people about this, the asterisk on pricing that I noticed is for the average person, right? Like if you were just a working class person who lives in an apartment, renting is more affordable and that's cool. But if you're a person who is looking to buy a plot of land and buy
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
build a home on it in a place like Tokyo, the combined cost of those two things is a very expensive and comparable to a place like Los Angeles.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
So it's sort of like, it's a little misleading to say that housing like house ownership is that much cheaper because if you wanted to go the full distance in a place like Tokyo that has that demand, if you want the housing experience that we think of in the West, that is different.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
92 was when it really, really crashed.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
So- Wait, can I say a fun stat?
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
The outlook on, it's interesting to see the spectrum of outlook on housing because it seems like in this situation, your house is not, your house is basically not an asset. It's not something you're investing in. It's just something you live in.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And then further down the line, maybe a little more in the middle would be like the American way of looking at things where it's like your house is an investment, but you diversify and you put a lot of money into like stocks and bonds and stuff like that. And then there's like on the other end, I feel like China, where it's like do or die, buy property at all costs. At least until recently, yeah.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
It was like always on property. Until the crash, yeah.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Yeah, I mean, that's the problem, right? It's like with something like the local zoning stuff, like why would you be a NIMBY? It's like, you know, a lot of people, the idea behind NIMBYism is like, in principle, you agree with the idea of more affordable housing, but it's not in my backyard because it's against your own individual interest to vote for it, at least in the short term. Yeah.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
I think you could make a long-term argument that you're also voting against your own interests, but that's... I mean, that's a long-term discussion.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Yeah, you need to change, like, the structure.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
We stayed at a hotel right next to the Imperial Palace, and have you considered that it's really nice? Yeah.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
It's cost of living, cost of housing.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Have you gone to Stockton? It's not that nice. Stockton is just not as good as the Imperial Palace. And one like little video I watched as an example is even on the outskirts of Tokyo, which is like a, you know, a major, major city, right? The most populous city in the world by like metro area population.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
It's tough because I think once you try to if you tried to pass some sort of like national legislation about. about it, right? Depending on who's making the effort to pass it. The messaging is kind of similar to the version of getting rid of cars that I didn't actually say a couple of weeks ago.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
I heard from the comments you did. But I think in America, as soon as you overstep the boundary of something that affects property rights, people are going to light up about it. The messaging about it will never be delivered in a positive, this is what the country or community needs. It will always be an infraction on rights.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Rebuilding infrastructure, live stream. uh yeah just to sign this topic off i thought this was funny because nick yingling came as our like uh producer for this trip and he said as we were walking around tokyo it'd be so nice if we just had big ass buildings like that that were just housing why don't we have that
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
It was so funny. We were on the flight back home and he was like, why do I have to get in this fucking chungus Uber, dude? This doesn't make any sense. LAX will radicalize a lot of people.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
So, yeah, I thought that was just something interesting to sign the trip off on, but I want to hear about why Woke is killing movies, Brandon. Thank God.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
On the outskirts of Tokyo, there are large, like, you know, 1500 square foot family homes that might cost like $70,000, right? And compared to, you know, what we would be paying in L.A., right? That's crazy. L.A. is a million, I believe. You couldn't park in L.A. for something. Right.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
I thought I would really throw our hat in the ring. Unfortunate that if we were following the model of success, that probably would be the way.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Right now? Snow White was the first movie they made, right? Wasn't that Disney's first feature length animated film?
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
The metro areas. Right. The metro areas. Yeah. So there's, there's a bunch of factors and I'll kind of layer this into two main things that I saw. So for rural Japan, where you could get these abandoned houses, right? Uh, there is a decline in population.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
As time has passed, a really concentrated movement of people from rural areas of Japan into cities, just like a lot of the developed world is going through in general, right? That's a general population movement that happens. But Japan, it happened earlier and more aggressively. And on top of that, really low birth rate. Really low birth rate. And one of the lowest in the world.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
On top of this, Japan also isn't really changing its mind about immigration, at least not at a rate that matters. Like they're not welcoming in or making big efforts to get large amounts of foreigners in the country to sort of supplement the population, right?

We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And one thing that was going through my head a lot while I was there, because we actually went out into the countryside, and I've never done that before. I've been, or at least not in like mainland Japan. I've been to Hokkaido and I've done a little road trip like while it's snowing and I've been to Tokyo, but I've never been into like the countryside that you kind of see.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
A lot is relative. It's not increasing in any meaningful way. I asked a friend while we were there who's lived there for a long time, what is young people's perspective on letting more immigrants in to help deal with these problems? And this applies to a lot of issues, not just immigration, housing, or whatever economic problems Japan is dealing with.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
They'll get their own Jack Black arsenal. I don't know. There's a bunch of ways to take this discussion. One thing I had thought of is, isn't it interesting that two of the highest-grossing films of all time are Titanic and Avatar 1? Avatar 1. Yeah. I think it's really... And Titanic 1. And Titanic 1. Titanic 2 was... Titanic 2 was crazy, though. It was crazy.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
It was just a two-hour shot of the ocean.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Yeah. But I do think it's interesting that, like, as far as original stories go, those are both pretty high up there. Like, there is a version of success you can find for those films, if not, you know, if not difficult.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
So... The other big thing that changed here, I go back to this interview with Matt Damon a lot where he explains how the film industry has just fundamentally changed primarily because of streaming. And it's not in the way that like, oh, streaming detracts from like less people want to go to the movie theater necessarily. It's changed the revenue structure of how movies make money.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
The old way is that if you made a film and it went to theaters and maybe it performed fine or it underperformed, you usually made it up on the back end with DVD sales. DVD sales were a huge part of how movies made money for a long, long time.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Yeah. And he was saying a big part of like why so many movies from like his era of coming up in acting, like if you take like Good Will Hunting, I think he uses as an example. He's like, the reason that movie could get made is you didn't need it to be a box office smash to make it. It doesn't need to be an amazing blockbuster hit to pay itself off. And that revenue has disappeared.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
You need it to succeed in the theater because after that it dies. And then the theater has also, uh, Great. The theater experience has been restricted and encroached upon by streaming and the demand for movies to reach streaming quicker because they used to run in theaters for way longer as well. Right. So it's this compounding effect.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And I thought that was really, really interesting is like the way like you just make less money when you make movies. So the it needs to be like a cultural hit in order to make it like a Barbenheimer type.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
I think it's just the rights that the services are willing to pay for are less than the total revenue that you would get from all of the DVD sales to people. Or the DVD rental. It's just less. Streaming services do not need to pay as much.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
He said young people and people in Japan in general are just very, very apathetic about politics. It isn't something you publicly engage in, in general. And I think it's part of a general cultural way of how people socialize. It'd be very weird for you to talk to strangers about your honest opinions about things in the first place.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
In the kids example, your movie is competing with way, way more accessible media. That was the first thing. The other thing that had come to mind was the cost of making movies has risen a lot.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
I was watching recently this podcast clip of Adam Scott and Rob Lowe talking about how they would have made, or if it could have been made, Parks and Rec, which was a big part of how they broke out as actors. through the popularity of that show.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And they were talking about how creating movies specifically in California and LA has kind of died off because of the costs associated with making movies here. And a lot of production costs have ballooned in ways that limit the types of products that can be made. So it's not just about the revenue, it's also about the upfront costs.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And there's this big fight of where you can even make productions now. Like a lot of other countries or other cities offer like tax credits for you to come there and make stuff.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Yeah. And Rob Lowe makes a point of like how he was working on a new project and the main place that offered to give him the tax credits necessary to make the show was in Europe, I believe. And he just said, I can't do that. Like I cannot move my life to Europe for the duration of what it takes to move the show. And then the show just died.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
So I think there's another part of this where the cost being so limiting in either California specifically, or maybe the U S in like a broad sense. I know like a lot of production has moved to places like Atlanta, for instance, like they did. I think they did like all of the adventures in Atlanta because of the like facilities and like tax credits and stuff that got there.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
But, So that's kind of the two, like two industry changes that have come through watching those that I learned about was like, okay, costs going up, limited opportunities of where you can affordably film things, and then a limit and cap on the revenue you can actually make.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
I'm getting excited because this is the other point I wanted to make. I go to the theater all the time. You still do? I actually watch movies all the time. And I think an unfortunate thing, reading those Reddit clips or Reddit comments about how the movie-going experience is different now. I do agree in a broad sense because the number, like you showed the list.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
There's definitely a change in the quality of movies and the types of movies that are getting released now. But original stories and good movies still get released all the time. I go to AMC with like my AMC Stubbs Pass that I have. You're a Stubbs Pass guy? Yeah, because my girlfriend got me into it. And we just go see movies all the time. We just watch new stuff.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And there is good new movies that just come from, I feel like a more limited subset of studios now. Like it feels like A24 is like one of the only studios that like stamps original properties out. We just saw like earlier, was this earlier this year or last year? We saw, I haven't seen that yet. But we saw Conclave in theaters. I thought Conclave was amazing.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
But then decoupling from that, I think politics is particularly sensitive. And there isn't a culture of being attentive and involved in politics in the way that it dominates discussion in America in particular, but maybe the West in a larger sense.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Too woke for me and my girlfriend. I think... But movies like that, I don't see because of... And I didn't see... I say this as a made fun of, bullied, like Marvel head. Yeah. I didn't go see that new Captain American movie because I'm just fatigued. They don't feel like they mean anything anymore. I always hated the live action format Disney movies because it's like... Grow up.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Make something new. I'm telling Disney. I'm telling a child at Disneyland. Hey, kid, grow up. Princesses aren't real. Okay. Democracy. They don't make those movies for the kids. Right. And it's like, they are for kids in some ways, but why do they have to revert back to old properties?
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
It's because in the same way that Disney, like the average age of the, like Disneyland goer now is like way higher than it used to be. Right. It's a different market that they're trying to like get money from and appeal to. I think the main point I'm trying to make is that,
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
This, as much as I want to sympathize with the movie-going culture has changed commenter, it's like, I go to movies all the time, watch good movies, and enjoy them, and just not a lot of people go to them. And it's like, you can still go see original good movies.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And so basically in the rural areas, they're dealing with these problems like their supply is like increasing just by proxy of it not being used anymore. And because there's no demand and nobody is moving to these rural areas, it basically just boils down to that. And because of that, you have these really low home prices, like even a nice thing on the outside.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Movie theaters are fun. I agree. Not that people want to go. If I were arguing against myself, I think there's two ends to this. There's the point that you're making. There's like the after you've seen it, cultural participation aspect of it. Because obviously like,
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And they do amazing. It's very Feaster family. So it's like proof that that still can break through in the current time.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And then on the other end of it, I feel like I'm taking a very like pull yourself up by your own bootstraps approach to movie watching, which I acknowledge that a big part, it's like, well, the average person isn't fighting through that many layers of friction to go see an original movie that they may or may not like. Like I recognize that.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And I think part of like changing the culture in the movie industry is like, well, maybe two decades ago, you went to the theater or you might think about going to the theater and the movies you happen to be available when you finally decide to go are a wider array of original stuff. Like 20 years ago, we're deciding to go see a movie and it might just be The Departed, right?
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
But now- You're six years old 20 years ago. You are not allowed to see The Departed.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
I was 16. I was turning 17 in a week. And I was going out with a girl who was a year older than me. And we went to go see the wolf of wall street and we were buying our tickets. And I went up to the guy second and he had just seen like my, my date by the ticket before me. And I'm like, please, please let me buy this ticket. And then he just said, you're good homie.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Uh, but yeah, I, I, I think the 20 years ago, you might just go see, like you want to go see a movie. You might see the departed because that happens to be playing, but now the range of movies available for you to see is like more likely to be sequel remake, whatever.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
We're busy. I'll have you know, I've walked in LA and walked next to Jack Black, and I feel like that's like me going to the movie. That's enough.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Well, now we decided who pays the price as to who has to go see the Minecraft movie three times. Yep. I would like to get to Doug's last topic because we have, I believe, an AI breakthrough that is on ChatGPT's end that is rather good at creative processes.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
I think the misleading part of the free house is that those ones aren't nice. It's like, they aren't well kept. You would have to put a lot of work into it. There are stories of Americans, because foreigners can buy property and land in Japan freely. There's like no restrictions on that. Foreigners can buy those properties.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Okay, so I started using ChatGPT. Was it 4.5? I just downloaded the app like a week ago.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Oh, so I don't even get it? Loser! So, I've been pretty satisfied with the base experience, to be honest with you.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Well, I tried to support Xi Jinping by downloading Deep Seek first, and then... So I gave it my best shot to directly give my free data on my phone that it purges and wires into Xi Jinping's mind directly. I did that. And then I got frustrated that it doesn't work on desktop very well. So I switched to chat GPT and I just assumed I would be using the latest and greatest. but apparently not.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Did you ever hear about that? Yeah, absolutely. I felt like that was like,
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And there are stories of, for instance, Americans going and getting one of these free homes, but the amount of work that you have to put into it to make it like livable.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
I have a question for, because you're not the only person talking about it being better in this regard, right? This is an understood thing. So I was wondering as far as like something like math and coding seems like something measurable to me.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
I think for the free ones, my loose understanding is for that specific program that gives out the free ones you do. But if we were buying, if we wanted to buy that $70,000 apartment or the 50, like a $30,000 apartment. Yeah. we would be able to buy that.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
So when people talk increased performance with something like this, how is that being evaluated? Is it just vibes, basically, because it's creative?
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
So you did this, like if you tried to have a similar sort of conversation with the previous version, it wouldn't be like this.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
No, in fact, this would probably benefit me because my primary use case of this is practicing language. So having basically normal conversations with something in the target language that I'm trying to practice. So this seems like it would be super beneficial.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
These are the jobs that I've been talking about. Finally.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And I saw the open AI crew sit down and set up a computer on the stage. And they were like, this is our new AI. And then it beat Dendy in 1v1 Dota. And that was in 20... I think that was in 2017. And now it's this. It's a lot more than beat Dendy in Dota now. I think, yeah, that is the main... I mean... My main worry is the scale at which this is deployed to hurt people.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
My friend who immigrated there was talking about how if he got kicked out, he wouldn't lose the asset of the home he owns or the land.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
I wasn't even thinking of scams necessarily. I think the thing that always pops into my head first is misinformation. It's like your ability to just make some official looking video with a real politician sound and make claims.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
So you're saying it's not literally a bot. It's a human being engaging in the argument with you. But using the AI to do its work of arguing with me.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
I mean, I think if we were to compare it to something, I think the discussion we had last week about education and phones in schools, like think about the ability to have this in your pocket has so many benefits. There are so many good things about having this tool connected to the internet. It allows you to do so many things with your work and your life and connect with people.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
But it also has had horrendous consequences for things like kids in an education environment. And I think this will be the same thing. I think where I really stumble right now is how to moderate or control it, because I don't have answers that are popping into my head.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
If you're talking about regulating, if you're talking about environmental regulation or something, you could point to a policy idea like carbon credits, and then you could talk about the merit of that idea. I don't even know what the first policy idea is with this.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
In general, in general, I think, like I said, I think the rules might be different for those like free or like near free homes. But if you were just buying like a home that a nice big home that was like pretty expensive in Tokyo, like you could just buy that and not live there. Right.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
But I think that's a step in the right direction. I think that's a cool idea.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
You're, you're okay. So you're one. Yeah. There's so many layers to this. Yes.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Perpetuation of misinformation is not just like, you know, anonymous and like bought accounts either. It's like, you know, it can be very public notable figures. Like if you took somebody like Alex Jones, for instance, right. That is a, like everybody knows it's him.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Tread lightly. Sorry, it's a bad example.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
no but that's part of the reason is like i i a lot of the issue is like not the but maybe the misinformation issue in that regard is is kind of the same as it already is it's like people with like platforms and like you know who they are can just as easily like right yeah i mean to be clear there's plenty of evidence that russia for example does hire a bunch of people to just so discourse or anger in our social media where are those jobs gonna go right yeah
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Scam at scale. I do think the other part of this is the verification idea I had this idea passing in my head the other week, and it was because I was thinking about how on Weibo you need to have a Chinese social security number or whatever the equivalent is.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Hold on. This is an anti-CCC argument.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
That's my big dog. Big dog in the back. The part of the ability to moderate and control the internet in China is that all these social media accounts, even like game accounts and things have to be tied to your like actual, an actual Chinese ID, right? Like you have to be identifiable at least to the government. through your social media profile.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And that in a way is actual human verification online. Like part of me does want that in the sense that when I talk to you in person, I know it's you. And maybe we'll lose that at some point too, which is the scary part. But the idea that I could be talking to you on Discord and I would also like to know it's you in the same way.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
But the government instating that system also starts to get scary and uncomfortable. And that's what I mean by all the layers, right? There's, like, all these, like, weaving layers of this of, like, there's pros and cons to, like, every possible way to, like, moderate and move forward.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Yeah. I would hate this so much. That's like Logan Paul round two for sure.

No, I'm basically Japanese. We were calling Nick Yingling the chopped hus the entire time, if you know what that means, in Japanese the whole time we were there. We'll move on from that. A big headline that I have seen in our media in recent years is about how you can get free houses in Japan. Anyone can buy one. Literally one or zero dollar homes.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And that's why the lemonade stand will be taking donations via Monero from now on. Yes.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
I think, yeah, we're closing in on the end of the show, so that's an interesting... Thank you.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
So I was going to bring up that trend as well, because my friend showed me this in Sweden, rural areas in Sweden. It's the same thing. You get a pretty nice, large home in like a rural part of Sweden for maybe like $30,000 to $50,000 in like pretty good condition, lovely location, and same mechanisms behind it, basically. Just like everybody needs to move or wants to move to the city.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
This is the LA influencer problem that we talked about. Yes, actually this is a good example. About how a bunch of people in LA that do YouTube here.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
But everybody has to move at once. Not me. Because it's the value of being in the same place. You like it. There's a few people who like it. You're the... He said 9 out of 10. 9 out of 10 dentists, you're the dentist saying that the toothpaste doesn't work.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
I do think it's really interesting that this is so apparent in other countries as well because that gets talked about less. Japan is the country that has the headlines so often. I think because the problem is so much more aggressive and it's been building for longer. And then the other part of this that I wanted to talk about was, okay, well, rural areas, right?
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
We're talking about in Japan, people moving to cities like Tokyo, for instance. But Tokyo is really interesting too, because compared to other cities in the world with like, I would say equal standing and development, if you look at a city like London or New York or Clancyville, you would see that Tokyo is relatively affordable compared to those places, which is really, really interesting.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Like why is this major city not going through the same real estate struggle that all those other big cities are? And because obviously in Tokyo, like in Japan, the rural areas population is declining. But Tokyo, the population is still going up. And the big thing behind this is their zoning and building laws.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
They have a way different approach to how housing is allowed to be built and a different culture of expectations around how you judge or value the homes next to you. So they were starting to go through a similar like cost of living crisis in the sixties as they were developing.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And then by the time, oh, beautiful LAX. By the time I walked to the Uber parking lot, got into the Uber, and then got here, it was about 15 minutes ago. All right, well, I did just get back from Japan. And I thought it would be nice to pick a nice, exciting topic related to Japan.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And they put in a place, a new zoning law at that time that like in America, there's a, for zoning laws, we have like hundreds of different types of zones and like weight and different rules to, to move around, move around with it. But Tokyo only has 12 different types of zones that properties can be. And in like 10 of those 12, housing is allowed to be built in all of them.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And the catch being that these homes are often very broken down, old, abandoned. But it did make me want to look a little more into why housing in Japan is so relatively cheap at a time when everywhere in the world, developed countries, big cities, prices of real estate are generally going up. People are getting priced out of living places. Yeah. And that's not like an American thing necessarily.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
So it means that if it's zoned for like retail, if it's zoned for something else, you can still build housing in that area alongside it. And that's created like an industry and a supply of housing that is always outpacing actual households.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
This was really shocking to me.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
I think that was really surprising because to me, in an American context, New York is pretty dense. There is a lot of apartment-style housing there that doesn't exist in a lot of other cities. But even a place like New York has really strict zoning laws. It's like the best of the American one. And basically, those zones have reached their capacity.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And then, okay, well, you might think, let's vote to change the zoning laws. Let's change these things in order to get more housing built. And this is also something that was really interesting to me because in America, right, we vote for these things at the local level. And that's where kind of like the idea of nimbyism comes in, like not in my backyard.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
Basically, if I own property in a place, I don't, I, in order to maintain the growth of the value of the property that I already own, I'm going to vote against new housing initiatives in my area, maybe under the guise of like keeping the culture of the neighborhood or something. Right. And so housing initiatives are consistently struck down.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
But in Japan, that housing, that the zoning laws are just set at the national level. They just decide. So people in neighborhoods don't have the same input or control to build in there.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
And the result also, for one more example of this, is in America, oftentimes there will be rules about the standardization of how a house is built in a new development. So there's reasons why groups of homes have to match up with each other or have similar designs or require similar lawn care or something like that. It might be through your HOA. It might be a city ordinance.
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
But in Japan, there's no culture of that. There's no rules on how... you can build your apartment or home next to the home next to you. It doesn't have... There's no worry about the design of your home devaluing the design of the property next to yours. Which is also... This goes in tandem with one last interesting piece that plays into this, is there is a strong culture of...
Lemonade Stand
We are moving to Japan | Ep 004 - Lemonade Stand π
breaking down homes and rebuilding when you buy. So moving into somebody's home that was already owned and lived in is like weirdly not cool in Japan. And it's way more common to get the home, break it down, and then build a new home there for yourself.

And what a segue from the masters. Because today's topics are focusing on Tesla. Is it doomed to fail or will it come out on top specifically with how it handles its self-driving technology and also the future of self-driving cars in general with both of you taking one side of the debate?
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I'll say, I mean, I'm guessing it's very low. I'll say something like $2 billion. Low relative to these companies. You're ruining my reveal because that's way too low.

Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
They just got a little sidetracked when they made the flamethrower, dude. I don't know.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I think... In the next two hours, we'll have the whole thing sorted out.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I would go the Gusteau's route. I would go the perfectionist route for sure.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I think if you, from my perspective, if you sacrifice the quality of the product, especially early on, the bad press that you potentially get about that product is so damaging. People's ability to value it down the line is so shaped by that first year or first couple years of the product being made poorly. And that makes it infinitely harder to standardize it later.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I'm looking for more. I'm already looking for my way out.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
or introduce it as something positive to people later. So that's the main reason why I think I would.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And I'm just going off of just that update from them and no other context.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I guess I'm going against myself because I would get in the car and try it out. I would...
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Wait, so is this the way it played out? Is this to say that it actually is this bad right now?
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Well, if you do it often enough, you kind of strengthen. Right. Ocular muscles, yeah.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
It's a tiny little blip. Did you ever look at those WikiLeaks videos that came out that Chelsea Manning leaked? And it's like the videos of them killing civilians in the helicopter. But hold on.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
How do you think that works? Do you think you just get, like, what's the KGB email domain? Yeah. that you get in your inbox. Yeah. You said you wouldn't do it in Russia.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
You guys ever watch those videos of people killing civilians? No, dude. No, I didn't. The video is casual. It looks like... I'm not kidding. It looks exactly like... I watched LeBron highlights. You know what you...
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
i'm not casually looking it's not a daily thing through mass murder briefly to come out of this is like what you're saying is what you're saying is kind of true there's there's like these leaked videos that came out that chelsea banning like leaked to wiki leaks and they came out and a video from helicopter of like civilians getting shot by the u.s military and uh the video like looks exactly like when you call in like an ac-130 in modern warfare 2 like it's like
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I don't I'm not saying it's not awful I'm telling you that layer your brain is rotten you're removing no no it looks like a video game and that removal of the human element is like is real that like that when you see something like damaged like that it's like I've seen does remove you from the consequence of what is happening not seriously
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I've already claimed it. It's already been claimed. If it did run over dogs, it would feel less bad.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
So the way this manifests, and I think Doug might have a similar story, is I used one of these for the first time like a week and a half ago. Yeah, yeah. And super, I was excited to just try it out. And we pulled up to the, you know, get in the car, pull up to the first intersection, and somebody crosses in front of us.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And on the screen in the Waymo, you can see the like digital person walking across. Yeah. And it's like even their finger and like hand movements, you can see their whole, every movement captured on the screen.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
It's crazy. blew my mind because we were on the way to a party that night and while we were driving on the street, a homeless guy stepped out into the street in front of the car with his bike. He just walked out and the car slammed and got out of the way. I saw this happen and I was like, I genuinely don't know if I would have been able to do that as a human, if I was driving the car.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And it was a weirdly uncomfortably good demonstration of like it. He's looking at his watch and he's like timing his way out on the street. I mean,
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Of course I would do it. Of course we would do that. Dude, I would do it, but I'd be shitting bricks the whole time. Because you can't. You have to go softball mode.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
So, yeah, that more manufactured and meticulous approach, I guess I feel or I felt more confident about trying the Waymo than I would trying a Tesla. Yes. However, I think as someone who's generally interested in both of these things, I'd be willing to try the Tesla self-driving stuff as well.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
That Tucker interview isn't even an interview. It's Vlad doing 45 minutes on the history of Russia.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Okay. So can I predict the answer here? Yeah, I would love to. I would love to hear what you think. I do have a thought is... For Waymo's business model or the way the company is playing out right now, I guess that spending a lot of money to maximize the performance of each car is more acceptable in the context of the business because you don't need to sell the cars to owners.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
They're basically taxis that are used by a bunch of people all the time on the street in the same way that people just use bikes for rent on the street. So you can spend a lot of money on one car because of how often it's going to get used by a bunch of different people. But Elon and Tesla have to take a different approach because they have to make the cars affordable to individual consumers.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
All right. But as far as this debate goes, I think you guys are both taking sides of the argument. Not necessarily the exact sides that you agree with personally, but you are more Tesla doomer. This company is going to flame out. Yeah. And you are vouching for the side of Tesla is going to make it and how they're going to do.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Much like Gusteau's, every Waymo actually has a little rat that drives the car under the hood.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
There's actually 29 rats in every Waymo car. No, the fuel's really affordable. It's only what you have to feed to the rats. I think this... I'm going off of everything you've just told me right now, pretty much, right? It sounds like the Waymo CEO is correct to me. Like these are essentially two different products. That's what it feels like.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And in order for like a regulatory body to sign off on full autonomous driving, I have a hard time imagining that Tesla's approach will be okay. Like as a public service. Right. It feels like right now that Tesla's approach will never get you past... Which CEO has a lot of influence in the government?
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Because this is where it stands, ignoring that huge factor, I would say it's hard for me to imagine Tesla's system progressing past me still having to sit in the driver's seat. It's like, it will be a really, really good system that still involves me being at the wheel and, at least on paper, having to stay awake. So, yeah, segue into the next part.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
This is the other... I think you're about to get into what was the number one point in my mind is better than humans is not enough. Exactly. And I think an amazing example with this is recently, and I don't agree with cuts to the FFA and these aircraft accidents that have been happening, right? There's been a bunch of high profile... Bold statement. A bunch of high profile...
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
aircraft accidents and uh and then let me let me play devil's advocate but even with all of this think about how bad the press is about like air travel right now no i like boeing you could tell me hey boeing has 99 of the planes stay up it's like it's
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And that's the thing. It's way more than that. It's still, with everything that's happened in the last two or three years, it is still the safest form of transportation by a huge margin out of everything. But think about how damaging that press is. And that's why it's like when it's technology and a company behind it and the way these stories proliferate, being better than humans is not enough.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
It needs to be basically zero risk at all. And I feel like the only way you can get to that point is by taking this Gusteau's approach.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I think conveniently, and maybe Waymo, you know, the Waymo spokesman is in my brain again, and they set up this situation too, although maybe reflect poorly on them. is there's a film being shot in my neighborhood right now. And Waymo's come through all the time.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And on the film set, I actually think coincidentally they were filming a car commercial, they have police officers that block off the road with safety cones for portions of time that the filming is happening. And I watched a couple cars get stopped by the police officer and then he's like, come on through. And he's standing out in the middle of the road next to one safety cone.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Waymo comes up to him while I'm like drinking my coffee and I'm just watching this unfold. Waymo blows past the police officer.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Much like the homeless man in my experience, it just drove out of the way and kept going and then drove through the film set. So, as far as, like, edge cases go, it's like, that's the one with the LiDAR technology, right? And, like, has way more information available to it than the Tesla does. And it's still making mistakes like that. Right.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
But that's an, these are examples of like weird edge cases that like, the human driver just figures out.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
It is. I don't in a vacuum. Like that's, you know, I was a kid once I got lost in the grocery store on occasion, but it is funny to just leave your kid in the dust as you like walk and wave to the fans and the crowd.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Yeah. No, I mean, they've had a version of, like, testable self-driving available for, I feel like, almost a decade at this point.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I do. So I think this helps me understand it a lot better, like what these angles of these companies are fighting for. And something that I had been thinking about a lot was, I guess, maybe your more personal perspectives on...
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
how valuable or cool you think this race to self-driving technology is because i i do think it's cool and like this uh i'll call it the cgp gray utopia of all automatic cars driving around that communicate with each other and there's basically never accidents is it sounds cool uh But I think on the whole, I'm a pretty anti-car person. I think cars in general are like a blight.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
On society. Less of a Hyperloop guy. And I think I'm more like pro-public transportation.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
But even as far as cars go, there are certain frustrating aspects of it to me is like in the US. Have you ever sat down at a
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
You know what? And it's too damn big. Have you guys ever looked at, for example, like in the U.S., there's this huge, if you look at sales of vehicles in the U.S., there's this huge spike in SUV sales. Yeah, big cars. And truck sales. We like big cars.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
There's a longer-winded explanation behind why that exists, especially in the U.S., but the amount of fatalities, like road accident fatalities, has also spiked in the past couple decades. I heard it's like an arms race, where like,
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I think that is an example of like... These vehicles that are, I would argue, needlessly big exist primarily because of loopholes and regulations and laws that were meant to save fuel economy. Cars in general force a lot of things on cities and societies that I see as a net negative. And I'm not here to say that this technology around self-driving cars is bad, necessarily.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
It's not that I wouldn't want this to exist. I think there's a part of me that is disappointed or sad that because something like a really well-built train system doesn't have the hype behind it that gets venture capital involved and pushes legislation and... has the same, like, hype behind it that would ultimately solve these public transport needs in the same way that you're talking about.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Like, it's not about, like, owning my car. It's about getting from A to B and making those situations, like, as convenient as possible. And a specific situation I can think of is... So when we went to the major together in Copenhagen... I mean, we're bringing this up.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
We went to the major and Copenhagen has a pretty nice like train system that you can use to get around the city, which is nice. And we, we used it a bunch. And when we, do you want to, that's the robo van.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
It's going to flash past, but I don't think this, this is essentially the same thing. It doesn't, it doesn't make any difference.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
It's a bigger car. It's basically an Uber XL. I mean, maybe. I don't know how big this is.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
There's a reason for that to exist. I'm not denying that. It's more when we left the major that night on the night of finals, there's this huge stream of people coming out of the arena that they had just built. And we all headed towards the train station. It's a massive amount of people. 10,000, 15,000 people that, that walked to the train station.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And within, you know, within 10 minutes, it was so easy. Everybody is on the train and out earlier last year, I went to a Dodgers game and I was leaving Dodger stadium.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And I walked down to like the Uber pickup area, like where you get Uber's taxis, whatever you can get. Right. And there's this massive backed up line of people waiting to like get in the cars.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And even in the most idealistic version of the autonomous car paradise that we're talking about, even if you take away all the inefficiencies of movement and they can all communicate with each other, that is a drastically shittier experience than just getting on the train and going into the city.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
This is kind of what I'm talking about. The car requires, especially even if everybody's Tesla can drive themselves all of a sudden, the car still requires parking space and infrastructure and things that I would argue functionally degrade cities and quality of life.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And it seems disappointing to me that the amount of like effort, both like technologically and politically, is going into like making cars better when even the best case scenario in like the situation I described is still shittier than the train that you can get on in Copenhagen. Like that is... I think that is unfortunate.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I think the reality, like the pragmatic version of me recognizes that I might not be able to shift the political or maybe even like cultural attachment to cars and like car culture in the US. And I would rather see some sort of solution than none.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Let's not dream too big. That's part of the problem, though. Isn't it shitty that that project has to deal with so much bureaucratic mess?
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
No, I'm not saying that either. I'm not saying either company is responsible for fixing that. I'm saying that as an example, it's like you're talking about the government, like regulatory angle of why Tesla or like why Elon would want this relationship with the government so we can shift things in the direction that benefits his car company. There's no guy like that for trains.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
That'd be so sick. And it sucks that this problem... It's a crazy train billionaire. Respectfully, I'm not... Bring him out of jail. We'll give him one job.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
It's tough. I just think as someone who maybe has been lucky enough to travel a lot and been to cities all over the world, I remember going to Hong Kong as a teenager and being like, what do you mean you can just walk everywhere and the train comes within two minutes every moment of the day and you can get wherever you want? And it's dog shit cheap, dude. What do you mean that that exists?
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And I don't have that at home. Like, that is crazy to me.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I don't mean I'm not saying that this technological leap is not interesting to me at all. That is not what I'm saying. It's just like it feels like the the system in place right now of like hype, venture capital, all these things that back these sort of projects is why does it have to be directed in this direction instead of something that is demonstrably better?
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Yeah. Very ironic. This story is awesome. And I don't know if there's really enough time to talk about it. They have a huge section of privatized rail that's becoming really successful up the coast from Miami.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I like that idea of the conversation because similarly, like I'm not a fan of Elon Musk personally, and he's not my best friend like Doug.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
So it's kind of in the vein of what you were talking about. You showed that there was this long quote from Ezra Klein where he's talking about one of his opinions that's dramatically changed over time is about regulation and about how regulation... realizing that regulation is not necessarily good.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
It like is also the, uh, bureaucratic, like there's more nuance to like, yeah, it was, it's like, it's just a more nuanced topic than more regulation. Good. Less regulation. Yeah.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And, uh, Yeah, I think that's just the thing I think about all the time when I see self-driving car news and hype about self-driving cars. It's like, dude, the best outcome of this situation compared to what I've experienced in other countries and cities still sucks. And I think that is disappointing.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I do think there's this idea that like anything he touches or is associated with is automatically bad. But when I saw like SpaceX catch the rocket for the first time, I'm like, that is awesome. That is so cool. So I like to see like the version of this argument that extends way more past like Elon Musk sucks and is like, what is the actual financial situation behind the company right now?
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
A hundred percent. There's just misery from that. A hundred percent. If the only option, if you told me that somehow public transportation solutions are just never going to be possible in the U.S., a hundred percent because we're existing in a hypothetical situation, and this is the only way forward, it's like, of course. Of course. This has so many benefits. And I agree with all of these things.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Every point that you've said so far is also something that gets better with people's increased access to public transportation.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I want to enter this conversation with the idea that I do not think streetcars solve a lot of the problems that exist now, especially because they exist on the street.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Dude, not even earlier than that. I couldn't believe how far back this goes. It was further back than I thought. That's the solution? Streetcars? No, no, no. I just said, hold on. I literally just said streetcars aren't the solution.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Oh no, so like, like those like trolley things. Yeah, like trolleys basically. So the way the, if you go back, if we go back in time, Come back in time with me. Dude, back into the mid-1800s, big cities in the US started laying out rail and had these trolleys to get around.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And these things started off by getting pulled by horses. And then by the end of the 1800s, they started to electrify these systems.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
But in cities like Los Angeles at the time, at the end of the 1800s, early 1900s, Los Angeles actually had the largest tramway system in the world, like the most amount of track. And what ended up happening was these systems got phased out as the automobile just became very, very popular in the US.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
But ultimately, it's like, if you look at pictures or stories from this period of time, this was a huge, like, infrastructural change in cities. going from the period or the decades where this was the dominant mode of public transportation in a lot of cities to the period of time where cars were more favored.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And I think maybe not politically or bureaucratically, but the idea that you can't make quick, large-scale changes around public transportation, I don't really think is true because it's even happened within the scope of our own country's history. There's been huge pivots and changes with the way public transportation works in the US.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Because from my understanding, it's pretty grim at the moment.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
This being an example where in essentially the span of like a couple decades, these like streetcar systems disappeared.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I don't care. I think the reality is I don't really care about streetcars. I think as far as space and efficiency goes even, you can make an argument that the robo-autonomous buses basically accomplish the goal fine. I think the issue with buses as solutions in public transportation is that buses exist in the traffic that exists already.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
You don't solve traffic by making buses because they just have to compete with all the cars around. You want one more lane. Famously, if you just build one more lane, freeze it all up.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Maybe even two lanes. I was going to say rickshaws. Just a bunch of rickshaws.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
We go back. We go back. We get the horses their jobs back.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I just want to push back on the idea that fundamental shifts in like public transportation infrastructure or travel infrastructure in general can happen in quicker times than we think. And I think a lot of the reason we think it's not possible is because the way we've done things has existed for so long. And in the US specifically, it feels like there's a lot of red tape to do in these days.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
In Minecraft. And that's part of the problem. You know, there's the NIMBY angle to it. There's so many things like that where I think Elon Musk is even tied into this. I don't know the exact details, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
But if I recall, when he was really hyping up the Hyperloop stuff, it was part of a campaign that pushed back against the money and funding behind public transport efforts in California. Yeah. and killing those, pushing back or killing those efforts is important to like companies he's made. And, you know, more broadly.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
We can look at more infamous cases of billionaires with oil money, like the Koch brothers lobbying at the local level to stop public transportation projects. Because if public transportation succeeds in a bunch of major cities, my oil empire will start to start to crumble a little bit. It's not... Like I said, I'm pragmatic. I understand. I actually think that car culture in the U.S.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
is like borderline... It's not in the Constitution, but it's like borderline gun culture in the U.S. The idea of having your car hitting the open road, having the great American road trip. All of these things are so embedded in the idea of American lifestyle. And I think it's why people get so... so defensive of like, we're going to take away your gas cars.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
It's like, it's almost the same level of vitriol reaction as when you talk about taking away guns. Uh, it's, it is, it is a very similar, it is more culturally embedded in America. And I, I'm not here to say I can overturn that. I don't think I can. That's why I want to leave. That's like, uh,
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I I'm, I'm not saying it's, it's just disappointing to me that, uh, these things are, are not looked at as like the better, more idealistic solutions and that they're possible because even within our own history, they are.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And you're talking about like what my idealistic world is. It's like it has so many intertwining threads with that issue as well. Right. Right. So many aspects of housing and building need to functionally change.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And then every, and then every few years we vote on, we vote on adding another lane. You know what they don't tell you about the lane thing?
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Is that if you add enough lanes, you actually do solve it. Well, yeah. That's it.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Because of course it'll happen in Dallas first, you know? And the whole city of Dallas is just gone. It's just a hundred lanes side by side.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I was going to say, as soon as you do that, people can sell the car. Tesla could buy them back and use them for a service like this.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I want you to get up there. Yeah. I feel like I need to show some graphs and charts to get up there.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
He would always sell. I saw the prices plummeting. What, the stock?
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Just buying the next major esport. Dude, I think it's so funny. I mean, my first reaction was, why? Because... Like, is Pokemon Go, is it just really successful and profitable? I heard it makes good money.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Yeah. They're making moves, dude. They bought ESL. They killed Jamal Khashoggi. They fucking keep it real over there.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I don't think anybody should be buying digital items in video games.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
i didn't dude i did not really i mean i understood that mobile gaming in general is like the biggest chunk of the gaming market uh revenue wise that is still wild uh to hear yeah i think the idea of i was thinking earlier about when you first brought up the topic of people like the line in saudi arabia finally gets built and you're playing pokemon go in the line and you're just you and your friends walking down one fucking long hallway catching pokemon you never turn left or
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
500 miles. It's just, yeah, I think the passing headline makes you think, is my initial reaction. It's like, why would you do this? But there's a larger cohesive strategy, surely, around this amount of money being spent. That's what I'd like to think. I can wildly speculate.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Sometimes it feels like the rate at which my familiarity with esports in particular makes me feel a little doubtful of my own take in the sense that it feels like they've overpaid for a lot of things. You don't have to bring this level of spending to esports to get a lot of the hold that they wanted in the industry. To a degree, I can kind of It feels like flexing on like a geopolitical scale.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I'm actually curious because in a weird change of pace on the Yard bonus episode this week, which you can listen to on patreon.com. Are we still in? No. We talked about something a little more serious. We talked about vibe coding. Yeah. And the way people are making... You four talked about vibe coding. Three of us. Ludwig was gone.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I think it would be, it was actually a huge chunk of the episode. It would be unfair of me to characterize.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
But I want to ask you what you guys think of it because I had not heard of this until, I think Nick brought it up, this idea of vibe coding where you use chat GPT to spit out code that you don't know how to write and you build a game like that. And then you just iterate on the game by using chat GPT prompts.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And apparently these games are starting, you know, you could turn around a project in a relatively short period of time. And then people are launching these games on like mobile and then filling them with advertisements and then making money. And it's like a, and it's a trend.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And I thought this was really interesting because my two reactions were on one hand, I was like, oh man, this really like cheapens this art form and makes it, this feels a little like soulless. And then on the other hand, I was like, well, if you can provide a tool to people to create their ideas and
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Without being inhibited by being unable to learn how to code for whatever reason, do, you know, what is good and bad about this? And that's basically what we talked about for like 20, 30 minutes.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Tucker's carving his way back in, brother. It was Tucker, if you can believe it. He knew what he was doing. So I always wanted your, because I feel like it's in the vein of this conversation of something like AI just pumping out video games automatically. This is sort of similar to that.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
It's still a prompt, still a human idea, but somebody sitting at a computer and making games in a very different way and potentially sacrificing some of what they have in their mind because they aren't able to meticulously edit and understand the code.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
During the segment where we were recording, Zipper tried to make a game using ChatGPT, and he successfully made a tiny game where you control a profile picture of me that eats hamburgers, which were yellow dots, and every time you fed it a hamburger, the score went up by a million. And so within the span of us having the conversation, that was crafted.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I definitely, I want to dive into this a little more and some of the questions around it in a future episode. But that's the end of episode two of Lemonade Stand. I think something we all liked about the last episode that we were hoping for is we got a ton of thoughts from people in the comments about Pretty much every topic that we discussed, which I really, really liked.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
The plan in the future, I think if you have anything to add to a topic that we're talking about, if you have a correction about something that we're talking about, these long-winded explanations or comments that people are giving are really, really great. And we want to make sure that we include good feedback into the show in a way in the future.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
So I think we haven't quite figured out the exact way we want to segment it into the show yet, but keep providing that because follow-ups and including your guys' conversations in the show somehow going forward is something that we all really want.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Unless you're commenting on Spotify, in which case, honestly, I didn't know that existed a week ago, and I'm not really reading those very often. Feel free to get involved there still. Get involved. Awesome. Thank you for watching. See you guys next week. Wait, wait, wait.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Oh, tough call. Tough call. They were all blue. I'm going to go blue on that?
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
You're on a road trip. I saved that for the other show, you know?
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I don't think that would be... I don't think it would even be that different.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
So I was actually going to ask... A version of that question, because my understanding was relative to the rest of the EV market, they were already starting to trend down because of the basically quality of EVs offered by other companies. So is this accelerating from that? And it sounds like yes.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
There's not a lot of, like, anti-Elon sentiment pumping on Weibo.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
They have no problem. They're living the Iron Man 2 dream still.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Quick thing. Yeah. I was curious, have either of you ridden in one of those? A BYD? No, have you? In a BYD model? A BYD? No. I did. And when I went to Mexico recently and a ton of the Ubers are BYDs. And I was in a pretty like base cheap model.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Very nice car. It was like, uh, it was super functional. I asked the guy, I use Google translate to talk to my Uber driver. I don't, I know. Yeah. I love talking to Uber drivers. And he was talking about how much he loves the car and how good and useful it's been for specifically his job. And the inside of the car was awesome. I mean, a lot of new cars are nice, right? But I was pretty impressed.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And it was my first time ever riding in one.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
I actually, this is, I looked into, there's a model of car called the, I don't know if Perry could pull this up. It's called the Renault Twizy.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
And it's a really, really tiny like street electric vehicle that I saw in Paris.
Lemonade Stand
Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand
Yeah. And it costs like 15K. Yeah, Renault is like a French car manufacturer. And I looked so hard to see how you could import one of these. Like even if you have to pay fees and stuff. But you can't make it street legal in the U.S. So there's no real way of doing it. Only Europeans would call a car a Twizy.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
There's a quote from an immigration lawyer in that article where he talks about most of the inquiries he's getting now are from young people that are like looking to move for financial reasons. He's desperate to get out. I actually tried to call the lawyer today and like ask him about like what it's like right now.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And he, and they didn't get back to me, but I called my, so my one other relative that lives in the U S is my cousin and she works in biotech and she moved to San Diego with her also Canadian boyfriend a few years ago. and I was letting her kind of break it down for me. And she's like, at the end of the day, like it just came to like money and like my profession.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And she says like all the people in her field and like who studied with her in Canada also want to the move to the U S because she gets three X her pay down here. And she pays like a comparable amount in taxes. So like financially it makes sense. And then even if she wants to go back to Canada, and I think a lot of people in her situation, it sounds like they would want to go back to,
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
canada one day they can save money faster to uh buy a home in in canada when they go back and so that's like her experience as someone who's already made the move right uh speaking of homes can i show this Are you going to show my actual home and my address?
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
This is... Here at Lemonade Stand... I can remember this, yeah. Oh, sure. Yeah.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Fun fact, Ari is not allowed to leave the house between nine and five.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
They've like given up. They've given up completely. So this is the interesting thing to me is like, I was reading this article and I was like, this makes sense. Like the thing that my parents tell me all the time is like, the reason we moved to the U S or the reason we wanted to be in the U S was it afforded me like job and like economic opportunity that we wouldn't have had in Canada.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Exactly. And I, and I said, mom, you're right. I never could have made it doing this work in Vancouver. Uh,
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And it seems like the financial aspect of it is the key mover on that over kind of everything else. Because I ended up talking to another close friend of mine that still lives. He lives in Alberta. He lives in Calgary, and he's trying to get a job in finance right now. And I was like, what is like for you who's in Canada trying to find a job in Canada, how do things feel to you right now?
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And he's like, well, things are pretty like doomer here in terms of like economic, you know, like owning a home, like the job market's really bad. It's tough to find work if you're a young person, even like if you're a new college grad. And these things are all like shared frustrations among my friends.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
But then, and a big question I wanted to answer is like, okay, this trend of like people leaving Canada for the U.S. because of pay, like primarily because of pay or maybe like the data that I looked into, there's a ton of retirees as well. Like wealthier Canadians that want to move to Florida or they want to move somewhere with like lower taxes where they can settle down and it's warmer.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
That's good. That actually happens on the other podcast. We'll be two for two on podcasts that make fun of my dad.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
The question that I wanted to answer was, okay, so you can see this trend in, uh, you can see this trend in immigration happening, but is it still happening in 2024 and 20 and now in 2025, which was not in this census data. Like it doesn't go up to that point yet. And, uh, I was really curious because, like, politically things are changing so significantly right now.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And then on top of that, it's, like, not just the general politics of someone like Trump being elected in the first place, but the follow-up of the tariffs and the 51st state rhetoric.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And my friend was talking about how even in Alberta, which is a place that's in Canada pretty conservative and has more people than, like, B.C. would that are, like, Trump sympathetic or maybe fans of Trump from, like, the Canadian side.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
He's never seen this level of anger among like all people, people there. My, my relatives, my friend is saying all of his relatives and his friends, everybody I talked to that lives in Canada is angry. They are like, this is fucked up that this is happening. Like fuck the U S this is kind of what brings us together right now.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And the idea of like, uh, he said it's like the highest sense of like national pride he's seen in a long time where it's like, you know, fuck the States. It's like, we're Canadians, uh, And that plays into people's idea or the appeal of moving into the U.S. too. He was like, compared to like a year ago, I think a lot of my- Poison us from the inside.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
They used to want to poison us from the inside, but now they don't even want to get in. So maybe it's working. Maybe it's working in that regard. We're keeping the Canadians out.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
It's just so, it's just- It's a big ditch. I thought it was really interesting to hear him say, like, if you asked me or my friends a year ago and offered me a similar salary in the U.S. for some type of job, I might have said yes. But now I would definitely say no.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And the differenceβbut then the overarching, like, economic theme here is, like, he was like, but I would still say yes if, like, the pay was, like, way, way higher. If it's double or triple, right? People are still going toβ Uh, and that was like what, what my cousin was wrestling with too, is that she's like, I don't like the political direction of the country.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I don't know how long I want to stay here, but my career and my pay is so high here that I can't leave yet.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Uh, so that's, that's kind of what's going on is like, I think my parents are different. They're very proud to be American and they feel like more obligated to defend to the rest of my family, like why they live in the States and like why they like chose to live here basically. But the rest of my family is like dogging them for it.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
They're very angry about the 51st state rhetoric, all of the tariffs and like how they're going to suffer economically.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And I'm not eligible if we have a sequel. You're incredibly selfish. I've had that. I thought about that. Yeah.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I don't think you should make jokes like that anymore. The friend was Aiden. I told you in common. I told you in common.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I, uh, yeah, that, that's what I'm super curious about is like how that trend is going to hold up in the next like year or two is like what it, you know, there's this convergence of like sovereignty and national pride and being wanting to be like, I am Canadian, like fuck the U S converging with like the economic hardship basically, uh,
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Okay, this is what I was actually thinking about this. And I'm glad you brought this up because I didn't, I hadn't looked this up, but I was so curious if polling had picked up for Trudeau's party because I feel like this is a crazy circumstance where he's like, defending the sovereignty of the nation.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And I think this was in a video you made about how he boxed one of the people from the other party. I thought you told me about this. And that was the first swing in his liberal party picking up was him choosing to box someone from one of the other political parties. And it... Uh, he won the, he won the fight and it was kind of like a, it was literally like a liberals aren't pussies campaign.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Like it was, and, and, and his polling dramatically picked up and then he found himself in a position of prime minister like a little while after. And it was like, this is when he's been making the tweets and these things that I've seen. It's like, I wonder if the polling is following.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Yeah. And right now, it seems like everyone's... Or like Rudy Giuliani post-9-11.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Yeah, I think the ethos for people tuning into this first step is we all have a shared interest in these things, like talking about them with each other, and kind of wanted an opportunity to bring that together, because I think we lack maybe a creative outlet in the rest of our work to be able to talk about this type of stuff. Yes. And I think...
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
That's a good point. I think about that. I got mad just thinking about it. I'm wild. I'm just thinking about it. I try to dig into my inner Canadian, and I'm like, I think if Yeah, like it annoys me. It feels stupid.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
It feels like intentionally antagonistic because even though I think there's no realistic path for that becoming the case, also from my perspective as a Canadian, psych, even in the world where it somehow happened, maybe this is a dumb thing to worry about, psychotic that it would all be one state to me. Psychotic. It's pissed about logistics, dude.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And he's like, maybe. That's one state. Maybe if we respect it, it's like, all right, we're adding on nine provinces as states, three territories. You know, we respect the... And then Trump looks south and he's like, we're thinking of all South America, a 52nd state. That's what I'm saying. It would be insane if it was one state. It would be insane if it was one state.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
top priority issue with this, but that was honestly my first thought when I heard about it. I was like, it just wouldn't be one.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Well, we don't have states. We have provinces. There are provinces and territories.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I guess maybe the last thing that I was thinking about with the Canada thing is the 51st state. I can see why it frustrates people so much, and I've seen something similar with a few Danish friends about the Greenland stuff.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
They're like... It's gone from like... I think when the initial reaction that I got from talking to friends when these things first hit the news was like, what the fuck is this guy talking about? It's like, this is obviously so dumb. This is like borderline a joke. But then he keeps talking about it.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And he keeps talking about it. And now people are angry. Like... And I find that it makes sense from their perspective. I mean, as an American, I'm also not happy with it. I don't think this is good.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Yeah, I think that part is more divisive, though, from my understanding.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I think there are a lot of people that are pushing for Greenland independence. From the bit I've read and asked about, it sounds like that is just more... Because there's aspects of Danish society or social systems that are so integrated and Greenland is so reliant on. So people are not... There's a big chunk of the population that's not ready to relinquish those things, basically.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I think my... my general opinion on these things is that in this era of global free trade, national sovereignty, and things like that, there's probably some other analysis to do here in terms of the costs of that system and deconstructing the global economics and stuff like that. But in general, I think that This has led to unprecedented relative peace and things like that.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And we're starting to pull back the walls of these institutions and rules around invading and co-opting other countries. I think that's bad. I think that's bad. Because it's such a regression of what global society is built around, which I think is in a lot of ways good. And I'm not saying that there's no scrutiny to be had of that sentence either, but it makes me fearful.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
It's like, okay, well, if nobody's following the rules anymore and we're going back to old times of invading and taking over and sacrificing this economic system that we've made, I don't know, the costs of that worry me.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Yeah, which is something that the U.S. is like, they, you know, I feel like from a short-term perspective may even have come across as, like, generous. But it's like, but in the long-term, like... Ultimately, it was way better for the US too.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Yeah, he is. Okay. And American. And American. Don't take that away from him.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
No, I wouldn't say, I wouldn't actually call it generous. This stuff has been set up to our benefit. No, no, yeah, I agree with that.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Show me the documents where we meddled one time. No, I think that's the... Yeah, I think that is the pro... I kind of agree with Brandon. It's like the deconstruction of... This is why it's a hard topic to... It is hard, by the way. This is a hard... Okay, I'll just... I think I'll say it in a more straightforward way.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
This is a hard topic for me to argue about, not at like a personal level, but I feel like there is a conflict as someone who I think I lean like pretty left on like most, like most issues in general. And I think there's like a, maybe a, I don't know if I would call my, I definitely wouldn't call myself a socialist like outright, but I think there's a socialist viewpoint here.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
where that is also advocating for, like, deconstruction of this global order to, not for American fiscal reasons, but to, like, dismantle the, like, systems of oppression that, like, they would identify exist across the world among this current system. Not that oppression and, like, people being exploited didn't exist before World War II.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
um it didn't and that that that level of like american like empire and like control is uh the it it's interesting i don't know it's it's super interesting because it's like yes that has such a demonstrable positive effect if you believe in i i don't know like getting getting rid of all these things has like such a
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
identifiable harm on the U.S., but there's two... There's different perspectives on, like, why that all needs to be deconstructed and come down. Oh, totally. And I think because there's all these different layers of, like, what people see as the most important outcomes, who are the people that need help the most, what would... What actions would help those people, the...
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
solution is... I feel like I'm a very solution-orientated person, and this problem is so layered. It's like, of course I'm not going to solve it. I'm running the lemonade stand. I don't have the answer, because I like a lot of what our globalized, safe economy and society gives me. I like a lot of those things, and I... also selfishly benefit from a lot of the power and control that the U.S.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
has, especially as somebody who immigrated here and got to make a podcast. You crossed the ditch. I crossed the ditch. But at the same time, I feel like I'm wary of something like can the debt grow forever, right? If you listen to that one economist who wrote the deficit myth, apparently it can. Apparently it can. Definitely Kelton has interesting ideas.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
But, or from other perspectives, like maybe you have a strong, like moral stance, like built in what you'd call like socialist values and you want to see the deconstruction of the global order for those reasons. Like, I don't know, I don't know what path is correct.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
spy agencies have picked winners in various countries over the past hundred years like that's fucked up like then we just get to decide the thing about it is like i can't think of a single time at back right that's true that's true the thing about it it's like it's just it always worked out so smoothly so i just really don't see deeply immoral the idea that we do that the cia simply batted a thousand can i say it it's a

Every coup. Because if it blew back, if it had blown back out of the country. If it had blown back, I'd be critical.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Yeah. I think that's what I'm saying is like, there's so many, I think there, this is why these things are like hard to come, come to any like solution or determination of, I feel like is like, there's so many little aspects of like how your lives are impacted by these decisions, especially over the longterm.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And it's hard to make confident decisions of like, this thing should be this way because everything, I think for the average person, including me, it's hard to identify the costs, like the pros and cons of what those decisions will be.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Yeah, so I like that one better because it doesn't revolve around criticism of me.

I'm going to talk about my dad, just him and what he's been up to. We'll get a live call in. We're going to get Corwin on the live stream. The main reason that I bring up my dad at all is I actually do want to talk about Canadian immigration to the United States and also the tariffs that are currently affecting the relationship between the US and Canada specifically. Do you want to open with that?
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
That's beautiful. And then they outsourced your job to Taiwan. That's why you became a streamer. That's the story, folks.

We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
What's the formula for adding exposure to GDP?
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Okay, well, I think to just set the backdrop, because I think a lot of people know that there are tariffs that have been put in place or had been threatened for a while as Trump was approaching getting into his presidency, right?
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
You ever heard about the taxi tragedy in New York? Do you know how you need to buy a yellow taxi medallion? Yeah. And the prices of those inflated super, super high because there's a limited amount of them to go out. And then a bunch of people bought at peak market, basically. People that are putting their life savings on the line, taking out loans to buy this yellow taxi medallion in New York.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And then Uber picks up and the price of them plummets. But all those people are locked into the loan that they took out to buy the medallion. Yeah, just a crazy, crazy.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
We need a limit. And who will hand out the medallions?
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
which is tomorrow so we're filming this we're filming this on March 5th a Wednesday and it should be coming out on the Thursday right after this and already in the past three days there's been like daily updates and changes
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I'm kind of a big fan of how you just have a 30% success ratio on loading the clip. I open a Twitch clip and it loads sometimes and doesn't.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
So leading up to this point, there was the threats of tariffs, like incoming, Trump gets into office, passes a 20, or through executive order, imposes 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico. And then, almost immediately... Paused these tariffs in exchange for the fentanyl czar in Canada and basically more control and effort of like the borders from like the Canadian and the Mexican side.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Yeah, I think in the same vein, we did a test recording before this episode last week, and we talked a bit about, I think that feeling or that anti-AI sentiment maybe among our audiences collectively or maybe young people in general being so negative, I think has valid points at its base.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I think also what hurts is a lot of people at the forefront of like the face of people who are like fans of this stuff is often like the people who, uh, like I brought up the tweet that was that guy who was really excited about fully AI movies. And we'll be watching fully. It's like, that's not really why I consume art. It's defeating the purpose. Finally, we're offloading art.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
for so long there's a really good there's a really good Stavros clip the comedian of him being interviewed I think by like Theo Vaughn and he's talking about like isn't this fucked like it's like we're like this like the AI is like taking all the art and like we're working in the Amazon warehouses this doesn't make any sense this isn't what we wanted
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Um, and I think when these things get talked about, uh, cause like the positive outlooks for me, like when I read through, for example, you sent an article from a while back or a sub stack of, uh, the very, uh, very, very good piece of that, all the potential benefits of AI. And the first section was all about health and the way it could help, uh,
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
help diagnose and, uh, deal with like modern health issues. And I was like, that is exciting. That is awesome. And I think that's the, like, when you talk about these things, uh, being like sensitive to those concerns or like, maybe not, I don't even think sensitive is the right word is like being ready to like answer those concerns with like good positive answers. I don't know.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Those things are important because I feel like the sentiment is so overwhelmingly negative. Yeah.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Yeah, that's what I wrote, I actually wrote this down, is like, I think that people get really caught up in the short-term cost of situations like this, because it's very visceral, it's very, it's happening in front of you. It's hard not to if it's your job or it's your family. Exactly, and I'm not saying that people, I can't look, it's like, I'm fucking, I'm a podcaster.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And I can't look at the guy, the guy who worked at the, I think I was listening to a story on the daily about manufacturing in America. And this guy who had worked at a lock company, like a lock manufacturing company. And after decades of working there, he loved his job. He lost it because they off, uh, they offloaded all the manufacturing, like, or outsourced it to another country.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And he lost his job. And it was a huge part of his identity that was lost. He lost his income. And Aiden was standing outside of the factory and said, well, And I think when talking about these things, something that I think about a lot is like overall in order for society, like a small scale example of this is in business.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
That's what he's asking for at least.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I remember hearing an anecdote about how a lot of like tech, early tech companies and tech would be worried about their products cannibalizing each other. And Steve jobs, like notably said when I think the iPhone came out that he had no, like he had no fear of this. Like in order to progress the products in the company forward, you cannot be afraid of like cannibalization basically.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And then he paused for 30 days. And I think something that I didn't quite understand is like when this happened, I thought like he, at least from the Trump administration's perspective, had like met goals that they had in place. And then during that 30 day time period, he said they wanted to see whether or not a final economic deal with Canada can be structured. That's what Trump said.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And I think at like a society level, the idea that like you can't replace old jobs, like, Oh, what? Well, you've got to keep the horses and buggies. Okay.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Well, he's starting to spoil a topic. Oh, you have a topic. From our new show.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Yeah, and that's why there's a CGP Grey video from like a decade ago about this. Not necessarily about AI, but about automation in general, and like why this leap in technology is different from previous times, ultimately.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And I think if that is the case, or that's something that we worry about, I think something I think a lot about is like, well, if it's going to reach that point, and you might disagree with that, is how you change society and legislation and things around society.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
jobs to accommodate for that because at a certain stage it's like the the way day-to-day life works and like jobs work if that's going to be the case if the human is going to be like lapped and replaced for what for labor then the the structure of society also needs to start changing
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
So I think I'm just curious, I'm curious what your response is to him and like also what you, what you think about that.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
My, I mean, my first, I think I, I definitely agree with like parts of what you're saying. My first response to that, your original, uh, original idea is that like the demand doesn't necessarily exist for more to exist. Right.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
So at some point it's like, well, if I can't, if demand does not match this, like shared increase in output that my company has and all the other companies in my industry are also choosing to make moves, uh, that are similar and increase their like productivity, uh, well, eventually I do have to let people go.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And he doesn't flake that much. Interesting that he said that.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I guess maybe, maybe the direction, the direction that you're thinking in is, is, I could still be small-scale, John. You know what I'm saying? In the past, changes in technology or tools or automation free up the time of the human that couldn't do that job before so they could move on and do something else.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
So there was a goal apparently during this time period that out of the initial concessions that he thought he got from Canada and Mexico or that they did get from Canada and Mexico, which I'll talk about in one sec, that a further deal needed to be made, which I didn't quite understand in the sense that I don't know what that ideal trade agreement was.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
But in this case, if the AI goes far enough or the AI is good enough, whatever task or job that the human could move on to next... The AI would just also be able to do. And that is maybe what's different is the chain you get stuck in, it's like there's no new ship to jump to anymore because the AI can also always do that thing. And obviously there will always be exceptions
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I truly believe there will always be exceptions to the rule in that we have, I think there's an underlying desire to connect with people. There's still that, but that's what I'm worried about as well. There's this point you get stuck at.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
That part, I mean, that part I agree with, that those are the parts that we want to emphasize and not let go of. I think the issue that I can think of is like a lot of new technology, policy and the way society works does not catch up very quickly with the realities or the pace of technology. So what I get worried about, in the US, something that I can think of,
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
looks like for him, especially because in the previous administration, Trump had renegotiated aspects of NAFTA, like a large portion of NAFTA as it currently, or sorry, as it formerly was, I guess, was from his decisions in the previous term, as far as I understand.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
From our new show, Lemonade Stand, a new podcast where the three of us talk about business, talk about tech, talk about politics. And for those who don't know, I'm Aiden. What do you do? I also, you know, I have a different... I've gotten like six phone calls as soon as we started recording. Don't worry, this is all part of the culture of business. Fake culture of business.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
is the cost of the person who loses their job to AI or automation or a factory being moved abroad or anything like that situation is the cost of losing your job in that scenario or the cost of losing your industry on the whole is very dire. Like you could lose your home, you could lose your ability to support your family. The social systems in place to support that person are not very good.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And I think the pace at which the technology is accelerating right now does not leave a very good safety net for the people that are caught in the crossfire.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
yeah and we don't have that right now and if and if this happens without any of that other support system coming in it will be very chaos it will be very yeah and a lot of the and i think the incentive structure that is like building ai right now and like building the technology is sort of this uh say capitalist system like even in even in china right like they're they're using private companies to develop in like
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Which I think is a lot of like merit to that approach, right? Giving private companies the ability to explore and innovate. And that's like very powerful. I don't think those companies necessarily share the incentive structure that saves the people that are like the externality, basically.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And that's what I get worried about, basically. The net benefit in society, in the most idealistic version of what you're talking about, could be really, really good. But the guy who lost his job to AI along the way, he might have lost his job, gotten a divorce, gotten addicted to fentanyl. And the government has not caught up. I mean, I'm sorry. I'm making it really dramatic.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I'm making it dramatic. But this is true, right? People who have lost their manufacturing jobs in, like, middle America and their life crumbles because, like, that was their identity. They can't get work. People are attached to, like, the places they grow up, and they turn to things like drugs and, like, drug addiction. No, you're absolutely right.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
There's a huge spike in, like, I don't know, like... drug addiction, suicide, like all those things, right? These things like compile and affect each other. And that externality of the people affected by this race to create technology is what I worry about. And I don't wanna leave the cure for Alzheimer's at the door that AI could bring, for example, I don't want to leave that behind either.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Prevented by making changes like this. I want there to be a conscious recognition of the costs and positives of both things and do our best to manage them.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Anyway, Canada puts in place this, quote, fentanyl czar, which I had seen people saying that this was part of a plan that Canada already had in place, or people were saying that Canada was only taking actions that it was intent on doing already. which might be the case. My understanding is that this pushed it forward a bit, and they did pick a fentanyl czar.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And I hope so. A smaller version of this that I was thinking of, I watched this video breaking down France's relative economic position in Europe right now. And they have very high productivity, but also low hours worked per week. So their overall economic output seems lower or comparable to a lot of Europe.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
But when you look into the problem, it's actually, oh, the French people, because of the rules and the laws they have set up, they actually just work less and they have more time in life for other things. And their society, their populace of workers is very productive and uses that time very effectively. That's an example of what I would want to push towards, right? Right.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And that there was three years of Andrew Yang campaigning. That was his platform, right? I don't disagree with that.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I have a high sense of guilt about canceling to
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And then similar from Mexico, I think Mexico actually did more. Something that I didn't know is part of this, Mexico sent 29 drug lords into U.S. custody from Mexican custody in an effort to extradite people in an effort to appease the tariffs being frozen.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I mean, I think I have actually dealt with this. And this was a big thing coming out of COVID that I thought about personally. Because before COVID, I think I was a person that had abundant social energy. I got a lot of joy and energy from going to social events and hanging out with other people and talking to other people.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And I felt like after COVID, I actually am a different person in that regard. I think I developed a sense of... Uh, I don't know if I would use the word anxiety or dread about like going to social events that I had planned, even though whenever I go, whenever I get there, it's always good. Like I've never regretted going to anything that I've like committed to.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Uh, and I really, I spent a lot of time thinking about it because I felt like a different person. I felt like I lost part of me coming out of that. And I want it. I was like, is this part of getting older or is this because I just effectively spent a year and a half at home? Uh, and I, that was a really tough question that I think I really, I still haven't answered like fully.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Uh, I think the, the guilt or like where the desire to like show up comes from or like why I hate canceling is because, uh, I know it's annoying for the other person.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
You know, what's funny is like, I don't mind. I don't mind that at all. Yeah. But I find that's, that's like pretty rare. It's like, I know the other person, if I cancel is like probably going to give me shit or like, well, they'll be sad.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Or I think something that I think about a lot is I know that if I cancel on the same like group or person, like a few times in a row, you'll stop getting invited to things. And I don't want to stop being invited. Right. So being a friend and participating like that is saying yes and showing up even when you have that feeling of like not wanting to go.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And then, like I said, whenever you actually get there, it's great. There's been so few, maybe never. I agree with this. When, once you get through the discomfort of like the plan and going that, uh, and I have a bunch of, I have a bunch of other thoughts related to this topic too, but that's the, the main thing is like, I, I,
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I think about how it would make the other person feel, and I also think about the social consequences of what saying no often means. And both of those things are just hurt in the long run, right? They hurt your relationships with people.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I thought that was a really good, they put it in a really nice ways that we don't, that culture doesn't place your time spent with friends or time spent as leisure as like a prior or as a priority or as an integral part of your life. But it is like that. That is a meaningful part of part of your life.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
It also talks about that, right? The literal meaning of life coming from that.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
That's my big issue. That's been the latest, that is the latest, like, update to this story, right?
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Dude, I think it's going to be so... I think it already is so bad. Like it has such resounding negative social effects is like outlined through something like this, but just anecdotally, like I think, and I think about like what a transformative and like important part of my life, like those years were like end of high school beginning and like through college.

And even just like learning, like I think I wouldn't have learned very much if I wasn't in classrooms. And then also going out to like parties and meeting people and like making friends and doing stupid shit. Like that is all, I don't know. That's how I learned things about myself. It's how I made mistakes that drastically changed my value system and how I behave.

His only issue. You've been really pro-Trump. My MAGA hat is coming on soon. Especially in private. Especially in private. When you're away from your platform. We'll get to you later. Okay. But I think that is the frustration from what I can see, right? Because this 30-day freeze runs out, and then the tariffs are just back in place. And Canada and Mexico are like, we did what you wanted.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I don't know if you guys feel this too is like I thought a lot about like bringing this up because I feel a little like I'm going into old man mode complaining about X generation but I think it's not actually the generation below me I think it's a lot of the people like around my age
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
as well, like, a little older than me, younger, and then definitely the younger generation, too, is, like, talking to people in, like, public spaces feels like pulling teeth. And, like, the level of, like, conversational ability of somebody, like, age 35 and below is so poor. And it's kind of why...
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
genuinely it's kind of why I think I've always liked talking to, uh, adults and older people like adults when I was a kid. And, but older people in general is because if you go up to any per, I feel like if you go up to any person above the age of 40, they can have a conversation with you. And I think this is also like a cultural... This feels too general, but you've done it more than anyone.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
No, I think this is also a cultural thing in that I wonder how COVID and things like this and people's anecdotal experiences play into this. But I found like going to... Compared to the U.S., And also compared to Canada, going to the UK and Australia, the average young person there that you meet is also better at having a conversation with you.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
They feel more socially comfortable just interacting with strangers, which is a little...
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
odd to me like I wonder what it is about like the way people are growing up and like going through their lives now that makes like baseline socializing so difficult it's got to do with practice because everything is like if they're not getting practice and they get more anxiety and it's a snowball yeah and it stacks and like COVID I feel like COVID like makes something like that so much worse and it makes like the like making plans and like showing up to them makes it feel like such an ordeal in a way that it wouldn't be
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
The one more thing I was thinking about with this was the... I feel like a big thing that... maybe change more post COVID too is like, and, and something that, that maybe is really pervasive in like American, like work culture is I feel like the fluidity of socializing matters a lot. Like people used to move less. People used to like, just hang out more by default.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Like they, I think they talk about it in the article, like the percentage of Americans that report they have a best friend is like, Oh yeah.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I think people lack a, I think the making plans and like hanging out with people is increasingly a task you have to do versus how it used to be. That's, that's how I feel is like you, I think a lot of people like grew up or were in community spaces where hanging out happens like very naturally. You're not necessarily making a plan.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Right. And then you just do something together. Right. But now making plans turns it into like a task, which I think when like people are so busy with things like work, it's not like an enjoy. You don't enjoy making the plans, so to speak, and you don't enjoy the build up to how you get there and like figuring out the logistics and all of those things. You enjoy actually hanging out.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Why are they back? And then the tariffs, apparently there's an exception. There's a 10% instead of 25% tariff on energy, specifically Canadian energy exports. Yeah. And they exempt the cars too, right? And then today, that was the update today, is that the auto exports or the auto industry gets like a carve out now. And so that's the thing. It changes every morning.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
So when like we as people have so many barriers between us to hanging out by default, and then you add the anxiety and the isolation on top of that.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
They couldn't escape. They couldn't escape, and now they buy my mugs. Ah, they buy my mugs? Now they buy my mugs. And I can make anything. Oh, gosh, I made a new AI character.

No, I think that's a huge part of it.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I just don't think the Sacklers should have to pay that much. No, I think you're right.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I would like if like for the people listening, I would love people's opinions about like how they've dealt with this and like how they, they feel about this. Cause it's something that is so not just like the cancellations themselves, but this like general topics, like how did COVID like affect you socially? How, how, How do you feel about socializing now?
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Something I think about a lot is it wasn't just, I tried to dive back in. I was excited to go to big events and socialize and be out again once you could. And I remember feeling so fatigued in a way that I wasn't before. It was harder. Not just, and like I said, I enjoyed being there, but being there was harder than it was before. And that was a strange feeling to me.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Even that though is like- It's another layer of friction. It's a layer of friction. It's another work item that you need to figure out instead of just hanging out. You know what? The office, working at the office is really nice because conveniently- Working. I work at a company. I work at a company with friends.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
The Canadians and the Mexicans seem very frustrated that the goalposts continue to be shifted, much like me in an argument. Yeah. That's kind of the introduction to this topic. That's what's going on with the tariffs. I think it seems crazy inconsistent. I don't fully understand what the goals are.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And the people who are around and come to do stuff at the office, it's like we just hang out and talk and socialize.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And play Mario Kart Wii with my headphones on and don't talk to anybody.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I'll show you my ladder page. I'll show you my ELO. I'm on a hot streak right now. But having those spaces is so important. Like having spaces where you can just be around people to begin with. So the layers of friction don't have to happen between. And I think...
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
like I'd be curious too, if, if people back this theory up at all, but I feel like a lot of other countries I've been to, even in the modern day of technology, even post COVID, like culturally different places don't seem to deal with this problem as much. And I'm sure things like cost and like, like layer into that. Like, but I don't know. I'm curious about people's.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Maybe that's a good time to bring that up too. I think like everything we talk about, I think a big thing we had talked about on the show is like, I think all three of us like have, like have pretty similar like ideals and values and like our, our good faith and the way we like bring stuff up and like argue about things. And if you guys have thoughts, I like when people engage in that same way.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
If you have new information or something relevant to what we talked about and you think it would be good for us to know or your opinion on something, I want to read that. I think a cool thing about this show is that as we dive into stuff, there will definitely be things we miss or get wrong sometimes.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And if you bring stuff up in the comments, or I think we've talked about more structured ways to do that in the future, it'd be nice to re-approach topics or things we talk about here with new information of mine. I don't want to pretend like I'm... As I try to navigate the geopolitics of global trade, pretend like I have it locked down.

I spent two hours on Monday making a podcast episode about cream pies. I know where I stand.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Okay, it's not all about cream pies, but it was like a good 15 minutes. And it's just, we didn't need that.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Yeah, so a brief backstory on me. I am a Canadian immigrant to the U.S. I was born in Canada. I grew up in Canada when I was young. I like permanently, I moved around a bunch when I was really young to the U.K., back to Canada, to the U.S., back to Canada. Permanently moved to the U.S. in sixth grade. And I lived in on a border town in northern Washington.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I literally lived on the Canadian border. Growing up, one of my cross-country practices was they would take us to the border, drop us off at the border crossing, and then we had to run back to high school. That was a little experience.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Dude, okay. Just a Canadian child running from the border into America. You know what's funny? When people talk about border security and things like that right now, I always joke about what the Canadian border is actually like growing up because, I'm not kidding, the border in Canada, the border between Canada and the US, where I grew up, it's a ditch about the width of this table.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
For those not familiar, I'm also a podcaster where I talk about very similar things to this show. Definitely tune in to that one if you like business.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I would be running back to high school on this side and then five feet away- We're gonna make Canada pay for it.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
That's a fun fact. They fall and stumble. Poor balance. You're literally a hop away from jumping into Canada. It's very easy. If you wanted to hop the border, I guess.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
That's kind of the circumstance that I grew up in. Also, there's a lot of basic economic ties in that area. A really common thing is if you went to the Costco in our area on Sundays, 80% of the cars in the Costco parking lot would be British Columbia license plates.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
People that live in Canada come down to buy goods.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
You get your hot dog, your fentanyl. And then who knows? You go in for the fentanyl. You come out with a TV.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Pitching the cartels, I mean, like, I'm telling you, man, if you kill a few less people, you put some TVs up front, and you give them cheese samples, they'll buy so much more fentanyl. Yeah. You give them fentanyl samples, they'll buy so much more fentanyl.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Just people like passed out on the fucking concrete at Costco. It's like an aisle full of people.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I think that, but yeah, so I, my family's Canadian. Pretty much all of my family lives in Canada, except for, uh, except for my parents and like my brothers.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Uh, and, uh, the, I, I decided to like call a few people. Okay.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
So just to get like a general vibe on what's going on, because I think you've talked about this quite a bit. And this is like, I think a somewhat well understood topic is like Canada's kind of also in a bit of an economic crisis in general right now. Yeah, it's not.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Like the dollar. Like I remember growing up, there was a period of time my dad got paid in Canadian dollars because he worked out of Canada, even though we lived in the U.S. So there was a time when the Canadian dollar was worth more than the U.S. dollar growing up.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
For like a year. And then basically on par for a long time. But now it's like, I think it's like 70 cents to the dollar.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
And I think the, like the real estate crisis there is pretty out of control. Like how housing is in the biggest cities in Canada is even more relatively unaffordable than it is in like the biggest us cities.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Uh, and there's, there's all these like economic issues in Canada that from loosely talking to my friends prior to this, that they're grappling with, like they're worried about their prospects of a future. And, uh, for, uh, and especially if they like went to college and like have a specialized profession, they're supposed to go into, uh, Working in Canada kind of sucks.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Cause if you could get a job in the U S you could get paid way more.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
I didn't know this until really recently.
Lemonade Stand
We're Open for Business | Ep 001 - Lemonade Stand
Canada is trying to deal with this too, apparently. So I read this article that I pulled up and this was focusing on Canadian to U.S. immigration in 2022. And from the previous year, it had more than doubled the amount of Canadians leaving Canada to go to the U.S. in that year. And it seems to be an interesting like split among like age groups and like why people are going.

Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
My longest term job with Ludwig. A lot of people don't know this. I literally have a day job. I work at Ludwig's company, Mogul Moves. My old job was that I ran his merch company. Not only for him, it also did the merch for The Yard. It used to do merch for other influencers for a time. But we mostly just focus on Ludwig's clothes now. My job has changed a little bit.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
I run Ludwig's like whole company now, but I am still in charge of the merchandise as well.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
The reason that this affects this so directly is like the usually like, you know, if you happen to be listening to this and you happen to be someone who's bought some of our merch over the years, you might notice that it's actually like pretty like high quality stuff like or something impressively custom made for what you'd expect from influencer merch. which is something we're very proud of.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
The way things like that work when you want to make like a really custom jacket with specific specifications and not just a blank hoodie that you like print on, which is a lot of what merchandise is, you have to make the specs of the product and then go to a factory and get that product specifically made. A lot of the industry for that type of item exists primarily in China.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
China has a very, very developed and specialized manufacturing sector because of all the business they've done over the past decades, right? And a problem is a lot of that type of manufacturing doesn't even exist in the U.S., There isn't a local option you can go to because economically it doesn't really make sense for that type of company to exist.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Like if I wanted to make that type of custom clothing in the U.S., I would need to go to a U.S. factory that might be able to do that and that sort of business for those special types of jackets or hoodies or whatever we want to make. don't exist in the US.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
No need for Aiden's little... No, this episode will actually just be a full tutorial on how to use an iPad. You may have seen children use them at Chili's or other restaurants similar.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
So we work with factories in China, factories in Portugal, places where that is more like economically viable and that industry does exist that can make that item. So in the short term, like in response to these tariffs, right, the tariffs that already exist on China and the increase that had gone into place prior to this was already affecting our new orders of clothes going into this summer.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
And it's actually been tough because the drops we have coming up are also licensed drops with like IP. So you're balancing the fact that you have to split the costs with like the licensor that you're working with. Now the cost of manufacturing the goods is going up because of these tariffs. And then this adds a huge percent to the base cost of those goods that we're making.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
I'm locked into those contracts to make with those factories already. I can't back out and like make another decision now. So that is why I am like, this is a very selfish reason to be exasperated. But I think probably something that other business owners in the U.S. are feeling right now is they see this giant list and then be like, oh, this fucks me over.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Can I say the other part of this? Okay, so part of the reason that the factory doesn't exist in the U.S. at all in the first place, right, is that if you opened that factory, the prices would be higher than the Chinese, right? You would have to be, like, the labor cost, the cost of building the factory. We can't even hire kids here. We can't even get the kids involved these days.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
And I'll bring that around when we talk about top three. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My problem is that not only is this about like, is it kind of impossible to move forward with an idea like that, right? At my scale, I can't even make a decision like that. I can't be the one who opens the factory.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
I would rely on people with like more money and more business interests and like opening that factory to begin with. But even if that factory opened, That the prices and costs of like running that factory mean that whatever they produce would be more expensive than what I was getting like from China or Portugal before.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
And the prices of what how I have to sell the custom jacket that maybe I do get to make it that factory eventually are way higher than what I would have been able to sell the jacket at. So the hoodie that maybe we get to sell for I'll make an example in my head. A common, like a nice hoodie that we recently made cost around like 80, $85.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
The margin to mogul moves at the end of all of that was like a $20 margin ish. And if we wanted to maintain that margin, the price just would have to shift up by like whatever the value of the tariff is on that good, right? And if I went to that American company that's producing it at a higher cost, then I have to sell my consumer a more expensive, more inaccessible hoodie.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
They are not benefiting from it either. Less people will be able to buy that product if they want it. And I realized like I run a merchandise company, right? There isn't like nothing. No one's lives are like, okay. No one's like lives are at stake by being able to get the mint mogul moves hoodie that we made or something.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
But I'm just making a point of like, there isn't, it's not like this US factory gets built and then we magically get to go back to the costs and the price of the good pre-tariff. It's like that industry just happens to exist in the US now. or like that factory just happens to be in the US. Exactly. And then that's ignoring the point that Brandon said.

Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
To end that part of the discussion, I think it entirely comes down to availability of what we can make and price. I'm not here with this merch business to try and support the Chinese or the Portuguese economy. I wasn't picking it based on that.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
It's based off of we had a vision of types of products we wanted to make because it was important for us to make unique, high-quality products for this merchandise company. And if an American company can make that at a price point that we're happy with, yeah, I would switch.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Those aren't even for sale anymore.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
But yeah, let's get into the buildings. I want to hear more about this.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
I would say the way I've been describing it to people is he's specifically critical of basically the Democratic establishment within the U.S. Yes. He's over the past 50 years, how the Democrats in the U.S. and the popular version of the American left, like whatever that has been behind the Democrats, has gotten bogged down in process.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Yeah. I mean, they dug into this a lot in the book. And this cites another book that I've heard from multiple people is very good that I want to read for myself, which is called Homelessness is a Housing Crisis.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
I was going to say, Doug, this episode, China, they build homes, they build trains, they have great movies. I no longer want to move to Japan. Yeah, I actually really would like to watch the movie. I watched a few Chinese animated films when I was learning Chinese during COVID for that six-month period, and I really enjoyed the couple things that I watched. So...
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
And it basically goes over how anything that is a suspected indicator of homelessness, stuff like poverty or drug use, are these predictors of homelessness or mental illness and walks through point by point how all of these things actually don't correlate with homelessness at all. And that homelessness is solely correlated with... Housing prices.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Housing prices and availability and affordability of homes. Yeah. And I think it's funny because, yeah, using a place like... You know, you could use a place like Houston as an example. In a red state, in a red city. I don't know if they have a Democratic governor. Sorry, mayor or not. I don't know Houston. But that, you know...
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
California has more like social welfare than Texas does, but there are way more homeless people in California or sorry. Yeah.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
And that this basis of like housing availability is the major factor at play of whether or not people wind up in the streets or not. There are other factors that are like tied into it that make it more difficult to say like get off the street once you're there, right?
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
It's not that these other things are not factors involved in some capacity, but people need to be in houses first and you need to enforce policy that makes housing available to all people as much as possible. I liked the analogy that was used in the book a lot, which is that housing is like a game of musical chairs.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
And it's like, there might be people who are poor or suffering from mental illness or drug addiction. But if everybody has a chair in the room, they can... Get a seat.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
But when you start removing seats, it's the person who is suffering from drug addiction that's most likely to fall through the cracks first. And housing is like the... I mean, this is kind of where the housing is a human right crowd is is so right, in my opinion.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
It's like and in the way I think this is a big thing of how Finland basically solved homelessness in the country, which is, you know, very different scale of country. I understand that. But Finland got rid of homelessness because they just gave people they just made sure everybody has a home. And that is the way they handled it, right?
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Which is... And I think at the root of making housing widely available is that. Making sure that people can build as much of it as possible.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Which is a great idea because oftentimes with something like the internet, which is basically a utility now, there isn't a profit incentive for a private company to build it on their own out to areas like that because it just simply won't have enough users to be profitable.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
And stuff like the postal service. These are the type of things that the government is really good at providing and should provide because without the government providing it, the market would never do it.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Well, I think it, yeah, I think that's part of it is like the expectations for the speed of these things has definitely shifted, right? The idea that these can happen, things can happen in like short periods of time is pretty, it's, you don't expect things to.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
I think we have to buy Minecraft tickets. In order to topple the new Chinese movie empire, we have to go see the Minecraft movie. And that brings it... Do we have any more lightning round topics? Oh, yeah.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
I think it cites a story about how after there was like a devastating fire under one of the big highways in Pennsylvania, the governor used like basically emergency powers to push through a bunch of the rebuild of the highway that would typically be expected to take like a few years. And didn't it take like- 14 days. Yeah, it took two weeks. It took two weeks. I want to re-emphasize this.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
And it's not that, like you said, it's not that these things, we are able to build. They don't have good intentions behind them. Like the book spends a lot of time building the context behind like why a lot of these regulations exist at all. It spends a lot of time explaining like the buildup of like the modern environmental movement and how like a lot of places within the U S uh,
Lemonade Stand

were getting basically soiled by the costs of manufacturing and the way we treated water and the way we treated the land, right? And there used to be a lot more pollution in the country. And then we enacted environmental policy that helped push back against that. And I think it's important that the book
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
to say that the book acknowledges that and isn't writing that off and saying that there isn't value in what those things produce. I think it's more just saying there's a needle to be thread in that it's gone very far the other way where these regulations have inhibited the ability for us to solve problems in the country.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Very basic things that are very, very good things for your population to have access to.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
And then everybody is mad.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Actually, this follows the thesis of the last episode. Is that sequels just aren't as good? Not as good. The first one's amazing.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Well, I think the common pushback here, and we actually got a little bit in the comments of the last episode kind of around this topic because we talked about how much Tokyo built and how much Japan built in general in order to keep their housing.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
relatively affordable uh at least post post real estate uh and the i think the common like counter arguments here is like or what i'll try to put out there is uh the first thing i saw oh and this is brought up in the book as well is people advocate for uh socialized housing which is or like government provided housing and uh i actually think there's a strong like merit to that argument
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
But what Ezra says in the book is that's all basically fine and dandy. That would be good, but the regulations that affect the ability to build in the first place apply in either scenario. Whether you want the market and private companies to provide the housing or you want the government to build the housing, they're dealing with the same hurdles that you need to change either way.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
And I mean, examples for that is like, you know, there are cities like Vienna, for example, that have huge, like a huge percentage of the housing in the city is publicly owned, like operated by the government. And that's a part of what keeps like housing affordable and rents, rents controlled. And then private housing in the city is forced to compete against that.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
So it helps like regulate the market. Right. But, It doesn't matter. It's like you can't even get to that part of the argument with the initial blockers of building there in the first place.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
I was an OG fan. I'm only a fan of whatever the A24 of China is.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Could I give the next argument that sort of plays into that as well? Yeah, I think you're right about that. The other thing that I think people bring up a lot, and I think well-meaning people, is they're like, well, why does the housing project or why does the building that's going to happen, why does it have to be these luxury-style condos and expensive places to live?
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Why can't they be more affordable? And I think there's two strong arguments against that. which is one, the building needs to happen no matter what. If you allow enough projects, if you okay enough projects, regardless of their scale or who they're meant to be offered or afforded by, if you build enough, that does regulate the market over time.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
You want people to just build in the first place and get regulations out of the way of building in the first place for that to exist. But two, a lot of the reason why luxury housing is the only type of thing that can go up is the current regulations force upon like units, like each unit needs to have a certain amount of like parking spaces allotted with it or needs to be built in a certain way.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Things that expand the cost of the development. So they're forced to price at luxury prices or high end prices. So the only buildings that are getting okayed are those luxury condos because that's the only thing that's economically viable to pursue. And that comes with stuff like the parking spaces as an example, the parking requirements.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Yeah, I lived in Berkeley and I commuted every day. Right.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Well, I think there's a good part, another good part of the book. That talks about how in, you know, we talked about this in the last episode, this basic concept of, you know, nimbyism. You advocate for things like vocally and on paper, you want things to like be a certain way.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
But it comes down to like approving like new housing or voting against the interest of like the private property you already own in the area. People end up saying no. They vote in like their own economic interests.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
And in the book, they bring up the example of someone talking about these like, you know, town hall or like local meetings where like these types of votes occur or where these types of votes get discussed and how the reason of like protecting your home's value never comes up. It is a social faux pas to like ever address it or talk about it in any capacity.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
But people talk about it changing the character of the neighborhood. I got a few comments. I got a few comments on the last episode about how it's primarily about crime. And I don't want to... You know what incentivizes crime?
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Yes. So I don't want to write off that comment immediately, right? Because I do think there is... I think there are some... I don't want to look at somebody who's complaining about crime and then just write off every concern that they have. I think the problem with that is oftentimes those claims are like... not based in reality.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
If you look at statistics around crime around, like how I think you can like, uh, map out like people's concern with crime, like increasing over time over the last few decades, but crime going down the entire time, like a lot of like fear about crime has to do with its presentation through like news and media and statistical likelihood. Uh, but beyond that, uh,
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
The crime that does exist that people are often talking about is rooted in the cost of living and the people's inaccess to homes and security. That is what a crime is connected and rooted in. And if you allow people to build enough over time, then you start to solve that problem as well. That is also at the root of that problem. Even if you are genuinely a good actor who is like,
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
worried about that, I guess. It would be my kind of argument to that. It's like, you cannot say no to housing and complain about crime and then also want that in... Basically, in good faith to, like, go away. What crime actually does exist. If that makes sense.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
This is a chain. That's why it's a chain of like bad incentives. It's like the politician who primarily needs these like people who attend their meetings and needs their money and needs their votes to like stay in power. So you need to appease them. They want their house to go up in value because the, maybe for their own security or their family, because the
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
social systems don't exist in place for your kids to just go to school for free and like be guaranteed to like pretty guaranteed in life to succeed in a general sense.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Hold on, hold on, hold on. I know, I know. What's important here is shamed by their peers, right? And this is what I mean about the crime. This is what I mean, kind of what I was saying about the crime thing is I don't want to be immediately dismissive.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Even I know, even though I know if you actually dig into that, it's like not really true or like you're kind of acting against your own interests over time is like, I don't think you want people to say that. And I understand that feeling. The difficulty here is, is most people... I think most people don't really... They don't think about it in that way.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
They don't really... They aren't thinking about that chain of incentives or the nuance of the issues because they're just looking at the short-term incentive right in front of them and then acting primarily based on that. Of course. And that's what makes this topic so...
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
frustrating to tackle and admittedly as a guy who like i i recognize i'm not um setting i'm not fleeing to like a perfect place or something but when i think about the problems in america that bother me the most and how they're going to affect me later on in life if i lose my job or if i get sick or if i have a family i i don't know what it takes in this country to
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
to make changes around this stuff. And this is actually my main core critique of the whole book is that I do believe that they are stating a better vision of the future, a better vision for the democratic party, a better way to step forward in general. But the disconnect is like, what can we do at like a base, um, base level to like jump to, and start making these changes.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
I don't know how to get there. And people who are, like, really left are going to start saying, like, revolution and organize, and people on the right are going to say, like, vote Republican and vote Trump and, like, take steps in that direction. And I don't... It's like, I... The details of how to progress in a good direction are very vague to me and uncomfortable, and I don't have the answers.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
That's where I get to when I think about these topics is when you talk about this giant chain of incentives, how do you tackle an issue like that?
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
I mean, if I could push back a little, they might be doing better on this specific issue. Because I think, like, even when you... Like, if you look at... We could look at something like crime stats. If you look at percentage of, like, violent crime, it's often the poorest, like, red cities. So it's not like... Thank you.

Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
,,, Getting into a position like that and being someone who's attacking the issues, it's very valued among your peers to be the person to step up and do that. I think that's just something, I don't know, interesting to think about.

He never lets that go. That's what I love about Doug.

2020 is the black one.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
I'd stop listening after. It's funny because we can keep going, but you touched on something that I thought the book, I wish I saw more in the book was talk about taxes because I think taxes do tie pretty deeply in all these things. But we are out of time. But I did want to touch on a few comments from last week, a few corrections for a few. Pretty critical thing, I thought.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
A lot of people pointed this out. I mistakenly said that Over the Hedge 2 exists.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I forgot that Over the Hedge did not get a sequel. I made that up. My bad. What kind of journalist integrity did that knock us back below Tucker Carlson?
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Tucker would never make that error. And also on the movie correction front. Tucker is really caught up on animated movies.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Of course, over the hedge. Trick Merch didn't know, okay? So one more thing on the movie front. I thought this comment was interesting because we talked a lot about how YOLO was an original movie that came out of China. Someone had a soft correction on this, which is... We mentioned a movie called YOLO that was 14th in the box office last year.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
It's an adaptation of a Japanese movie by actress director Gia Ling, who also had the third highest grossing movie in 2021, Global. She's one of the highest grossing female directors of all time after Greta Gertwig. That movie in 2021 was called Hi Mom.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
The English title is an incredibly moving semi-autographical movie about a woman who time traveled to become her mother's best friend after her mother died prematurely of an accident. Jieling wrote about it. You're really just advertising China again, huh? Yeah, we're just plugging. Of her own guilt and grief about her mother who also passed away due to an accident.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
It made $841 million at the box office and was a smash hit. So I thought that was just an interesting note because I had not heard of this director until you mentioned Yellow.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
I agree. And if you want to hear more from CCP propagandist Doug, you can join us on the next week of Lemonade Sins. Wait, real quick.

It's actually a short list. There's actually very few problems. Yeah, it all works.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
That's the idea? One thing. Well, are they reciprocal? Because you said that this is not only based on tariffs that they have placed on us. This is based on whether or not we have a trade surplus or deficit with them, which is different.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
And we're tariffing back all goods from that country in response. Yes, it's a blanket. This is the blanket number that applies to everything that country sends us.
Lemonade Stand

I was full set on adopting a South Korean child until I heard the big news, which I'll tell you guys later in this episode. But I believe we wanted to start with something new where we kind of go through a lightning round of smaller topics, one minute per topic. And Doug has prepared and we wanted to start the episode off with that.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Doesn't that mean it's 45 total now? Yes, it's 54 now.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
Yeah. I'll keep it a stack. Yeah, keep it a stack. Because I think... I think something with issues like this is that oftentimes when you talk about something like tariffs as a regular consumer, it's not super clear how it will immediately affect your day-to-day life. I am groaning right now because I run a company that manufactures clothes in China. And like often in China.
Lemonade Stand
Liberation Day Changes Everything | Ep 005 Lemonade Stand π
And we bring them over from China to the US to sell them. That is how Mogul Merch makes a lot of the clothes that it makes.

54% is crazy, dude. This is bad for what I have to do this year.

The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Just hard to organize it, honestly. Yeah. That was really the biggest issue. That's another one of the things. We keep saying we need more employees. That's something we need. I probably... could use... One of the things I want to do is have a research assistant whose job is to basically triage topics and compile basic source lists for me.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
And then another aspect of their job could probably be setting up and researching guests. Yep. Yeah, it was just really an issue of, like, we wanted to do it, but we both are so wrapped up in our day-to-day stuff that it's hard to do that kind of thing. So, you know, once I can get somebody to fill that role, but we need to be making more before we do that. Yep.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I mean, for example, he's a size four shoe.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Okay. You don't like the analogy going, I guess. I hate flying.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
The Fresno Nightcrawlers. What? Or Nightwalkers. What? Fresno Nightwalkers. Uh, it's a series of images purportedly out of Fresno, California, which are literally just looks like giant pairs of pants walking down a residential street. Are we sure it's Photoshopped?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I don't totally remember where it came from, but that was definitely up there for me. The Fresno Nightwalkers. It's like, okay. Um,
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Oh, skunk ape's up there. Yeah. It's a dumb one. That is a stupid one. I think one of the worst, just like, what is this, has to be the gorilla encounters in California in the 1870s when they didn't actually know what a gorilla looked like.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, it's really incredible. He and Kat get to share shoes.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
No, we respect the squonk here. That's what I thought. Yeah, we respect the squonk in Pennsylvania. Yeah. Truly, truly.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I would write it to keep people guessing the entire time whether we support him or condemn. I feel like he would come on the show. Oh, Kanye would definitely come on the show if we get in contact in Kanye-tact. In yay-tact, yeah. Yay-tact, yeah. I love how Kanye will just, like, disappear for a few months, then reappear and be like, I like Hitler.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, it's all good. So, you know, that's a wow.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
And then he disappears for a few months, and then he comes back and he's like, I sucked my cousin's dick when I was 14. And then he just disappears for a few months. Who knows what's coming next? Is that the most recent thing? Yeah, that's the most recent one.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
My favorite Kanye moment, though, is definitely like the one where he's talking about Polaroids. He's like, no, I like the guy I got.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. George Bush doesn't care about black people. Mike Myers is being like... That was pretty based, though.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Mike Myers is like... If you'd like to donate... Oh, yeah. Brutal. Kanye West is the worst cryptid. Because he's not a cryptid, but he sure behaves like one. He's the most dangerous cryptid, because if you're anywhere near him, be careful. Casper Mountain Crawler would also be up there.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
We sure do. I mean, I guess we'll just dive into those and talk about them.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, that was a weird, just like... I didn't want to say it to the guy's face, but I figured out about five minutes into the conversation that he was just making a silly video and it got way out of hand.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Gotta be chill, gotta be kind. Anyway, Cave Coating... Yeah, makes gay OnlyFans content now.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
So does the Tiger King's ex-husband, who I've seen parts of him I didn't want to over Snapchat before I was this.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, I got sent pee-pee images by the Tiger King's third husband.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
No. The Tiger King was in prison. You know what would be a good video? Oh. We need to make a video on Tiger King. Like, Tiger King, the rise and fall of an American legend. Honestly... The rise and fall of an American hero.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
No. He did not financially recover from this. Also, for the record, I have... I'm not angry at Dylan. Mildly impressed, if anything.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
that tells me everything i need to know i do the the number of people who have offered to like buy me dinner that i i gotta be honest i'm like what but like the tiger king's third husband is on that list richard spencer is on that list um somebody else i met a while ago who i was like okay then is on that list and i can't remember who it is now yeah life's weird man yeah
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
No. When I choose to Aiden. No, Flaw. I don't even know what game we're talking about at this point. Yeah. So, listen, I stream video games on Friday nights with a small group of people. Some of them are friends from my real life. Some of them are people I have met through the internet. Flaw is one of those people, although he then did a crossover event and drove up here from Alabama.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, I've been wanting to do something like that. I'm looking forward to the point where the channel just brings in enough views that I can do kind of whatever I want, like Wendigoon does. Once we get to that status, I'm going to do so many deep dives into just wildly obscure topics. Yeah, it's going to be fun. Yeah, and I still take the opportunity whenever I can now.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I actually, you remember I said this to you a couple of weeks ago, I was looking for a disappearance in like northern Arizona or New Mexico just so I could use it as an excuse to do a deep dive into Skinwalkers.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
So if you know of any weird missing persons cases in Arizona or New Mexico that I could use.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
It's a little too far north for that.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Nevada, outside of Vegas.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, not quite in the right spot for Navo. I mean, it might fit. And, I mean, so here's the problem with the Kenny Veach stuff. I went to go look at it again.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, and on the one hand, I was like, oh man, I kind of just did a... I was pretty comprehensive with the first video on the case. I only like to revisit things when I feel like either the original version of it had quality research, but poor quality video, or that the research wasn't where it should have been.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
With Kenny Veach, I did just about everything I could, and part of the problem is his original YouTube comments aren't there anymore.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
We were using his old camera from high school. We still use the same shotgun, Mike, which is hilarious. But we were still using his camera. We had Elgato streamlights, which my stepdad got for us. They were massively helpful early on. We have these big studio lights now. These are what got us to where we are. But yeah, I mean, just also my narration wasn't as good.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I was doing things in a different way. I was reading off a notepad instead of writing full scripts. We both had full-time jobs at the time, or I was back in school, so.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Through August of 22, I think.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
It could be. If I were able to use it to talk about something else interesting that's connected in some way, either like Area 51, but that's too far north. Like he was out near Nellis.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Some people think they've found the M cave and I'll give it to him. It looks like an M, but also the way he describes the cave makes it sound like it's a cave cave, not just a Like carve out? Yeah. Yeah. So I don't know.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Oh, also the one video I saw of them finding the M cave had like an Area 51 sign in the cave. And I was like, well, that feels staged as hell. Yeah. Especially because Area 51 is three hours north of there.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Ooh. What was it called? Lonesome Dove. Interesting.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, thank you for the gifts, both legal and illegal. Yes. Yeah, it was great. You know... Yeah, that was fun. So, no, Flaw is one of the people I play video games with frequently on Fridays, and he and I have different opinions on how to complete missions sometimes.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
So I have a 40. which is basically 10 millimeter in terms of like size.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
It's kind of like 40. Yeah. Like if you look, if you take a 40 and a nine mil and put them next to each other, they're almost the exact same size. Yeah. Um, I, I don't think I've shot 10. I think it's, I, I, if I remember correctly, it's a little bit hotter. Um, basically same size shell, but, uh, hotter load. Um, I don't know. I personally, after going shooting on Saturday with all my handguns.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
And that was a nine, a 40, a 45 and a three 57, which also shoots 38. I think my favorite of all of them was in the 38.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, the .357 is so fun, but my wrist actually hurt. Oh, really? Yeah, because I wasn't expecting that much kick. Yep.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
So here's the thing I did with the .357, though. We were wrapping up. We were almost done. I just had like... I think I had like four... I might have been loaded with .38 at the time. It doesn't matter because... You know, it's what happens when you pull the trigger, not what happens after the bullet leaves the barrel. I had, like, four rounds still in my revolver.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
We had a man-sized target set up at 100 yards. And I'm like, I'm just going to give it a try. And my future brother-in-law is sitting at the table with the binoculars looking out at the target. So I pull back the hammer because it's just way easier to shoot those in single action. Oh, yeah. I, like... Double action is useful for when you got to get off a lot of shots quick.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Single action is a lot easier to aim because you don't have, you're not fighting the, uh, the weight of the trigger pull. It's basically a hair trigger.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
It's like eight pounds with the right 10 on mine. You've, you've, but you've like dry fired my revolver both ways. You cock it and pull it's, you barely touch it. Yeah. Yeah. A hundred percent. Um, so a hundred yards, 38 special in a 1972 era Smith and Wesson model 13. I hit not just like the middle of the target dead center. And Adam's like, no way. And I'm like, what?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
And he's like, you hit it center mass, like, like dead center of the target. And I'm like, No, I didn't. He goes, go look at it. So I run up. I hit that target dead center. Like you can see the seams. I'm like literally on the middle, the middle seam. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Uh, and they were like, don't even, don't even take another shot. Just, you need to take that target and keep it. And I was like, I'm going to incredible. Yeah. But, uh, no, I think 38 is probably one of my favorite to shoot. Uh, and the reason I like that revolver is because it also shoots three 57. So 38 is a good self-defense round. Uh, three 57 is a good Bush round.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I was actually really impressed with Adam. I mean, he was...
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Well, I like to complete the mission. Ah. Yeah. particularly in hell divers a game where it would seem that completing the mission is kind of you know pivotal to the gameplay experience yeah every once in a while i'll be in the middle of doing something i just die and it was flaw he's like oh somebody said a secret word i gave them earlier in the chat and i'm like okay sure why not incredible
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Also, this is just from being there. One of my favorite things in TV and movies and how you can always tell if like a character was written by somebody who's actually fired a handgun is when somebody who has never picked up a gun before picks up a nine millimeter or a 45 or whatever and actually shoot somebody with it at anything over five feet.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Rifles are so much easier. Yeah, much easier. Rifles are so much easier to shoot with. Handguns, the slightest movement. Because a rifle, you got two hands, and often you're resting on something. Handgun... You got two hands, but they're in the same spot. You do not want to be holding the barrel of a revolver when you fire it.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Oh, 100%. Especially because in a gunfight, you don't really have time to aim that much with handguns. Also, one of the funny things, you shoot a normal gun, the barrel gets hot, yeah. The revolver, the whole gun gets hot.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
The cylinder is hot.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
But there is something so satisfying about like firing off your rounds and then like whipping out the cylinder, pushing the plunger and having them all fall out. Yep. Yeah. That is nice. Next time we go, I'm going to bring my, uh, my gun belt so that we're just reloading from the belt.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
But in Ohio and Indiana and stuff like that, there's just not a lot of... Honestly, I'm going to grab one from Ohio just so I can talk about the Mississippian culture.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I find myself often thinking about the Mississippians. and their mounds. What?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
He's not wrong about the Wendigoon thing. I sat in a hot tub with this man and Wendigoon and they both made fun of me for not liking tall women.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Oh my God, that was almost two years ago.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Well, so that's the thing. I know he did an interview where he explained what happened a little while ago. Maybe he did it with Missing Enigma? He probably did. I think so. And he wrote a book. He reached out to us about doing an interview. So, just for the record, Stephen Kabaki did reach out to us about doing an interview when he put his book out.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
We said no, or I said no, because I was going to be given a pre-screened, pre-approved list of questions. So it felt more like it was a marketing opportunity for him than it was an opportunity for me to actually investigate things. And, like, on the one hand, I get it. Like, oh, it'll bring, you know, notoriety to your channel. Like, you know, you'll make money from that.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
This all started as a way to get Super Chat money, but then the Super Chats stopped being involved. I should have been like, it has to be like a $10 or a $15 Super Chat. No, like two apparently flies.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
That's not really what we do here. No. Yeah, like, we... If I'm just gonna be able to ask you the same list of questions as Missing Enigma and everybody else, then what's the point? Yeah. Yeah, Nick already did it. I'm not... All I'm doing at that point is cannibalizing his content.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Look at this Ray Rivera thing. Body was found on May 24th, 2006 at the Belvedere Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland, with injuries suggesting a fall, though the injuries surrounding his death are still debated. Journalist and writer. Oh, so you mean fell out of the sky like.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. His death was initially ruled a probable suicide by authorities. However, the circumstances surrounding his disappearance and the location of his body have fueled numerous theories. Yeah, I can definitely take a look into that one.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
So I like that you brought up the Masonic Lodge thing. I get it. I would argue that the fact that he covered the Afghanistan War, the Haiti earthquake, the Fort Hood shooting, and the Sandy Hook shooting, as well as the Boeing 737 MAX crashes. Bro, any number of people could have wanted this guy dead. Probably mostly Boeing. Probably mostly Boeing.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
But yeah, I could probably take a look into that one.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. Getting kicked out of a 737. Which then crashes because the door was open mid-flight. Brutal. All right, next.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. There was that time that I did an entire stream where I took a drink every time anybody Super Chatted anything. And I drank half a bottle of bourbon.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Love the name. It's based off of Thelonious Monk, I believe.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Both of them at the same time.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Maybe I'm thinking of something entirely different then.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Okay. Thelonious is a lot funnier.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
He's a jazz musician. Well, that means he should be a felon. Play the notes the way they're supposed to be played. Good jazz does. Good jazz? Yeah. Doesn't excuse the fact there's a whole bunch of people who just play sloppy music and then call it jazz. Yeah. What's a time signature? What's a key? Yeah, and also they do that. Like, I'm a scat man.

You know, I listen, there's a chance to take some ATF agents with me and escape into the Idaho wilderness.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
We're working on it. We're trying to get better. Also, it is now well past 745, so be aware we probably will not get to anything that gets Super Chat now. We don't want you to waste your money. We appreciate the donations, but we do not want you to waste your money. Not even halfway through it. Yeah, get through as much as we can.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, it was like that. But worse. I learned a lot that night. I would imagine so. About myself, about how the floor feels.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Might have to have weekly sessions. You can remain a mod and be an informant, or you can perhaps go back to viewer status. Or worse. You know, we already keep several federal agents locked up in the basement. Tied to the radiator. We do feed them. You ever heard, you know the whitest kids you know?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
You know what they do when they tie people to a radiator? For decades and decades and decades.
The Lore Lads

Yes. In the mouth. Yeah. Yeah. Just wanted to make sure. RIP Trevor Moore. Gone too soon. Far too soon. Probably murdered by the government. Unfortunately.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
You know, on the one hand, like, good point. On the other hand, I feel like there's just probably a lot of situations where a mother and a baby drowned in a river.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. Like, they're probably mostly isolated incidents.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I think in some of the cases, yeah. I don't think Tommy Booth is an example of that. Not Tommy, not Todd. Yeah. Not any of the ones in lacrosse.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, it's potentially, the part that gets me is that they won't show anybody. No, yeah, that's weird. The body cam footage. Yeah. I think somebody emailed me about having that. I got to look at that.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Would you like me to put you down? Okay. They're all tangled up now.
The Lore Lads

Bunker does good work, man. They really do. For those who don't know, the lift lodge shirt is our old logo. Just the deer skull with the lodge on it. But instead of saying the lore lodge, it says the lift lodge. And the deer has a barbell in its mouth.

It's kind of a pretty sick time. Yeah. We did some not great things to some of the natives in a few cases.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
We didn't do that. As northerners, no. Exactly. My ancestors had nothing to do with that. Same. Feels good, man. Yeah. Now, Flaw. Flaw. You're from Alabama.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I'm aware, and I'm failing at it. Yeah. I went to my priest the other day. I was like, hey, man, I'm not swole enough. And he was like, do reps for the Lord.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Kin-ups for Christ. Curls for Christ. Curls for Christ. And benches for Barnabas. Yes. Could do some... Some lifts for Luke.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Get massive for Matthew. Nice. Yeah, I was trying to think of one for Matt. Pull-ups for Peter. Push-ups for Paul. Sit-ups for Simon. Get jacked for James. Get jacked for the other James. But we don't get jacked for Judas. Dips for David. Dips for David. Who are the other ones? Thomas. Toned for Thomas. This could be a line of shirts in and of itself.

That wall no longer exists. Yeah. It's in pieces in the basement. We gotta do that thing.

On my mom's side, we can get back to her great-grandfather because he was left on the steps of a church in Italy. Oh, wow. So I believe we're actually just named after the town of Pimbino. On my dad's side, I can get back to...
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. We were going to cut up the pieces and burn our logo into them and then sign them with a wood burning tool and use that as a Kickstarter campaign thing. We just don't know what to do the campaign for yet.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
My great-great-great-grandfather, but then there's a gap, and there's a bunch of other Mattises, like, two generations back, but we don't know who the connection is, so I can't reliably trace it.

That was a fun game. It's the first one where you could have a singer, which led to some hilarious moments with my friends. Yeah. Us as early teenage boys trying to... Does it judge if you're on key or not? Oh, yeah. Really? That was how you scored points, was you had to be on key. Oh, wow. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Totally different skill set, realistically.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
We just don't... Yeah, no, it's... It's not a big park. It's nice. It's a good walk. I'm pretty sure it is, like, several thousand acres, but...
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I have seen Rocky Horror once. That was enough times for me.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Okay. If we were like... I already don't like musicals.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I have never seen Annie or the Sound of Music all the way through even once in my life.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
The only thing I remember from Chicago is the scene from Victorious where Tori's older sister tries to do one of the songs from it and it's really bad.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I think the only albums I've listened to all the way for musicals were the American Idiot musical because I'm a huge Green Day fan and Hamilton because I was not in charge of the music on the way to the beach for senior week.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. And then you realize how much stuff Lin-Manuel Miranda was showing up in in the early 2010s. Like House. Like House and How I Met Your Mother. Yeah, he was everywhere.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, nuts. Honestly, I think his character on House is some of his best work.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
100% the government would run secret experiments to crossbreed it with humans.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
What happened? Did you forget to plug in the thingy? Ah, you fool. You, you fool. It's always something. Aiden forgot to plug in the thingy. Did I bring over... I thought I brought over the longer ones. Did I not? Oh, okay. I'll have to do that. It will. I'll just have to do that for tomorrow. Not tomorrow. Just next time. Next time we do that. Hopefully it evolves. It looks like it did.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
And a lot of people would also try to crossbreed it with humans, but not for that reason.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, well, that's what happens when you're us.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, burrata and mayonnaise shouldn't be in the same dish. Nope.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
We got food. We stayed away from pizza. Ironically, he went to an actual known haunted building and didn't realize that it was that.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Keep going. Oh, you're this nice pink one. That works. There's a lot of trains in this book.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I like the one that kind of... What was going on here?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
They look like the... like the bad guy robots from the movie robot robots. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Huh? Bad. Yeah, I don't know what they were up to with designs in the mid-century, but they were certainly going for something.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
And they spent more on R&D than they would ever make back on the fuel costs, I'm guessing.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Well, Amanda walked in with the dogs as we were getting ready to start, and I was like, ah, we should show off the dogs. We should. It was a good move. Yeah. Archie! Come here, bud. There you go.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. Uh, that's a great question. It's just so hard to line up schedules and then we plan one and it sneaks up on us and we're like, Oh, we did not have much time to prep for this. Uh, I think what, what we need to do, um, and I hope Isaiah will go for it is just take like a week, uh,
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
go grab an Airbnb somewhere or, you know, if he wants to come up here, he wants us to come down there and just shoot four of them. And I think we need to just make it a quarterly show. Yeah. Uh, so that we really have time to prep and, and make it worthwhile, uh, and put the, the level of work into it that it deserves.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Uh, inspiring philosophy did agree to come on. I think we're going to talk about, uh, aliens and Christianity and the like.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Well, it still has the thingy. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. I'm going to... Smart, smart, smart. Reload it, yeah. See if it's still there. Oh, no. No.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I wouldn't say it saved my life, but it did help me get better at my job and focus on things.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Like it's definitely been helpful. Not saved my life though. That's valid. What else we got?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Is this what I sound like? Yes. Why has nobody stopped me?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Oh, yeah, right. Good point. Yeah, they sure did go inside of the buildings.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Actually, that's not the wildest. The plane knows where it is because the plane knows where it isn't. And where it isn't is the sky. And where it is is the Pentagon. Also, that event did lead to one of the funniest lines in music history.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Which is from the very well-intentioned, yet in hindsight poorly aged, Have You Forgotten? I think the guy was like Daryl Worley or something.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Uh, but it's, it's, it's from the, from the Afghanistan and Iraq war era, basically like a pro war song about how, like, have you forgotten, uh, like one of the lines, have you forgotten how it felt that day to see our homeland under fire and our people blown away, which like at the time with what everybody knew, which was very little, I get it. Not going to lie.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
When I listen to the song today, to this day, I'm like, you know what? Maybe it was a good one. No, so one of the lines in the song, because there's a lot of have you forgotten, obviously, like have you forgotten about. Yeah, yeah, yeah. One of the lines is like, have you forgotten about our Pentagon? It's just like... Oh, that's brutal. Yeah, it's like, oh boy.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
That's actually hilarious. Time capsule. Put it in a time capsule and when I'm 80, inject it into my veins.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I'm just a guest. I did appreciate the comment section on that video. It gave me a much needed self-esteem boost. Um... I don't think I have the time. A lot of people did ask if I would be willing or if they wanted me to be on as a full-time host. I just don't think I have the time. I would absolutely appreciate the offer if it fell on my desk.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
okay that's the thing is like i could come on once a month once every few months i definitely to do do another deep dive kind of thing um but no did i jackson and jordan are great guys i had a very good time shooting that i australian humor was very refreshing um no great great guys great show had a Yeah, I don't know why Isaiah left. I figure it was probably a timing issue.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
And I will be honest, time is part of the big problem because they're in Australia, so there's a select few hours when we're up at the same time.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, and the episode I shot, I think we started at 8 or 9 p.m. I think it was 9 p.m., and the show didn't end until like 1.45 a.m. for me. By the end, I'm like...
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Well, depending on the... If it would be zoophilia to do it with a chimp or a gorilla, then it is for Bigfoot.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
In that case, calling it zoophilia is actually incredibly insulting. Yes. Yeah, so if it is just a native tribe from the mountains, no, then you're just getting freaky with it. Yep. That's just miscegenation.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
That's the femicide in the Congo. Stop it. I don't want to know what that is. I don't either. I'd say if you want to know what that is, go watch the episodes of Pop Culture Crisis we were on at the beginning or the end of March, but I'm still not sure what it is after being on there. I still can't... I am going to be on The Culture War to debate Jay Dyer and Timothy Gordon.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
It's going to be interesting. I have been told that they're probably both going to come after me for being a Freemason. which I think will not go particularly well for them. Um, I'm so looking forward to this. Yeah, me too.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, no, that's higher than it needs to be. I don't know. It'll go away. I'll figure it out. Anyway. Oh, there we go. Perfect. Okay, yeah.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I remember how, how aggressive it was. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Alex Jones is one of those people who he'll take a subject and he will be about 10% right. And then the rest is just wildly out there. Yeah. And you're like, okay, all right. I see where you're and we lost it.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
You know what? I think he said it best when he said, I gotta be honest with you. I'm a little retarded. Yeah. Yeah. I think that was, I think he nailed it right on.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. He gets so red. I am glad you apologized for the Sandy Hook thing.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Probably not, no. Apparently even the rest of the Infowars people, while that was going on, were like, dude, stop. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I think when you get that deep into... When you spend that much of your time...
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
looking into the ways in which the government lies about things which to be fair is a lot is a lot i think you do eventually get to a point where it becomes hard to see what is and isn't reality yeah that's where you literally have to go touch grass yeah somebody with some level of authority in his life needed to tell him to touch grass wait i can explain this now so gumping it is when you hook up with a person like alex jones
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Wow. This is going to be a real, I'm going to show you the video.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Wait, hang on. Okay. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's great. The quote under gumping it is, in fact, the quote from Father Wubby's show.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
It's out? I haven't heard it yet. I don't think we can technically... We can't, but I can... I can do this. oh did it come out today came out friday hang on it's about the templars oh it's pretty sick which i mean we might have to do a history unhinged on the templars next week like that'd be cool All right, so far, you're getting a live Sabaton reaction right now.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Anyway, did you hear the next one? There was this one girl. Are you familiar with the term gumping it? So while it's an ethical conundrum, it's not... I can't say the rest of it because it becomes rather not okay for YouTube.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
What do y'all think about that? Oh, no, yeah. We walked out of my apartment. Yep.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
and we were he was helping me move and i was like you know it's a stupid conspiracy theory that helen keller like wasn't real or not that she wasn't real but like she didn't actually do any of that stuff and he like started asking me questions about it we get to the elevator we get down the elevator we get something out of the elevator we come back up in the elevator by the time we get back to my apartment where my mom is helping me at most five minutes most five minutes i'm like mom why the hell did you tell me helen keller was real
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
It took me approximately five minutes of thinking about it. So I think we looked it up in the elevator and it was like, she lost her senses of hearing and sight at the age of 18 months. And I was like, Oh, absolutely not. Absolutely. No way.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Like also just so very interesting how all of her, like, you know, writings and everything happened to line up exactly with the viewpoints of her father and her caretaker.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, like, if you've never learned to speak and you can't hear, and you go blind, you can't learn Braille. Somebody has to tell you what the dots mean.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I don't know. I know what the intro would be. In today's episode, we get very ableist. Oh, God.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, I know. Okay. That's why I had to clarify. I think that also might be considered gumping it.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Due to extenuating circumstances.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
This is what this show should be, realistically.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I mean, it sounds like the Todd Guide case, honestly. What was it? The name?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Well, then you eat. Do it with sweet potatoes. Eat. Do it with something you can't eat.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Did I say I like this show? Please don't do that. I hate this show. Please don't do that. Can we go home now? Archie, I'm scared. Archie, call your mom. I'm scared.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
You want to come up? Okay.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Is it time for my spotlight?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Okay, yeah. So watch the next episode of History Unhinged to see me try to talk about the Sea People. Next week. Now, as for the Philistines thing, evidence of their culture doesn't really show up until the end, like the very, very tail end of the Bronze Age. And we don't have a ton of evidence that there were any Greek migrations going on.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
But a lot of things about the Philistines match up with what we know about the Mycenaeans and the Minoans. So it would be sensible that as there was this wave of people moving east across the Mediterranean, they got caught up in it and they ended up over in the Levant. But yeah, because they're distinctively not Canaanites or Egyptians, and those are the only two groups who would have been there.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
They seem to have been newcomers to an extent. So it seems most likely that they came with the Sea Peoples, given the timing. And then they probably had a sort of syncretism with the Canaanites.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
You know what I mean? I think women have been faking it for that long for years.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Oh, don't you growl at me. I'm picking you up so you're in a more comfortable position.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Kinda. It's not what you and I would call talking.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Hi, buddy. Sorry, I had to put Archie in a more comfortable position for both him and I. I love how on the camera he's just kinda the white fluff. Okay. Wait, where's the...
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I think these will be directional enough that they won't pick that up.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
My sister hates it. Fair. And because those kinds of things are often genetic, it seems best to just not. Adderall's working for me.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
We have not set foot in the trench.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
So far, I'm a fan of this. Hard not to be. The Gregorian chants mixed with the electric guitar.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I mean, you'd have to have a sufficiently pressurized suit.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
You got to admit, it would be super funny if they didn't account for that.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. I hate the Chinese government. Not the people. For the most part. The ones who work for the party, I don't approve of.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I don't want some poor Chinese guy who was brainwashed by the communists to be like, oh, I can touch the bottom of the sea and then die. Yeah, that wouldn't be nice. No. That would be very unfair. Now, if it were Xi himself... Now we're talking. Papa Gingy. Where are the Uyghurs, G? Where are the Uyghurs, G? One more time. Where are the Uyghurs, G?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Pretty solid. We shot this Friday's video. We ate some Mexican food. I did some editing earlier in the day. Weird thing about Phoenixville, lots of good Mexican spots. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Oh, the one that's like up on Gay Street?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I'm down. We got to go to La Patrona too. Yes.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. I love that it's historically on... It's right.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Oh, okay. Yeah. Weird. Anyway.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Well, currently I'm working on joining the Anglican Catholic Church, so I'm thinking what we do is we then form our own splinter cell of that, which will be the American Catholic Church, which will be ordained by bishops that I personally approve of, so that we can make sure the purity of the faith remains steadfast.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I saw some pictures from it, and I was like, this is the, like, this is like if you assembled an Avengers team of washed YouTubers. That's the thing.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. It was kind of weird. Yeah. It was like, who are most of these people? I recognized Frogan. I don't even know who that is. She's, I think, a political streamer of some kind. I recognize iDubbbz. I know Ian and I know... Which, by the way, talk about pulling up the ladder behind you. What do you mean?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Everything iDubbbz did to become popular, he then turned around and criticized for, like, being, like, awful. And I think he ended up... Didn't he call his own fans, like, disgusting for thinking he was funny?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
coming to realization moment that like oh maybe like some of the things i did yeah like there's there's ways to expose that that aren't the way he did yeah there's ways to grow without there's ways to grow that allow others to grow with you you know who i appreciate is rucka rucka ali he's just been awful the whole time unapologetically don't even know who he is oh you would if i showed you his music oh boy yeah
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Since we've already done some discussion of lyrics from songs, he has one that is what you would do is parody songs. And one of them begins, Haiti had a little bit of an earthquake. Everyone calm down. We don't even live there.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. Here's the chorus. Oh, yeah, this is... This is pretty based.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
That's about all I need to know. I will give him credit. He was an equal opportunity offender. Fair. He goes after the Swedes in that song.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
It's very funny watching that whole group of people attack each other.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I do not like Ethan. I do not like Hasan. I didn't really know anything about iDubbbz. I just find Hassan to be very, like, champagne socialist.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
He lives in a $3 million house and complains about capitalism while he's a YouTuber for a living.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. He's probably not a good dude. I don't even know. I don't think any of them are. I don't even know. It's kind of like you're like, you'll see people be like making fun of Charlie Kirk and stuff. And then like they turn around and watch Hassan. And you're like, Hassan is just left wing Charlie Kirk.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
And that's concerning. You know why we don't seem like that? It's because we go outside. Frequently. Outside's right there. We have to go outside to get here. Yeah, that's probably what it is, is we work outside of our own homes. Yeah, it helps. It helps getting some vitamin D. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
That's becoming not true. Well, more true for you than it is for me at this point.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I get recognized at the grocery store.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Nice. I don't know how that happened.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
And remember, kids, jury nullification is a thing.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
It does kind of go hard, not going to lie. Whatever happened to Pity for the Gourd? It's still a thing. I mean, we just haven't made music in a while. Kind of fell to the wayside because I had other things to do.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Maybe we'll take that name. After all, Pity for the Gourd was mostly me and PJ.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I gotta... Goes hard.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, I'd be fine with a Beretta.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I think so. Out of the other ones...
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking, too. If I got to take one from the car, it's going to be the sawed-off.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I don't remember their full arsenal.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, for a hot second.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Oh, obviously. It's a slow burn. It's a slow burn for Sabaton. There's a music video for it, which is the part I'm really excited about, and they're in it.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. Uh, I was considering Orthodox for a little while. Uh, I had a few theological quandaries with it. Uh, qualms, I should say, uh, Roman Catholicism was never on the table. I, uh,
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I went to a mass for my great aunt's passing and they decided that was an important time to make the distinction between, uh, Catholics being allowed to take communion and everyone else knowing that half of the church that day was Protestant. Um, which just kind of felt like, uh, I, I'm sorry. I don't care about your tradition. There's no excuse for that. Um, No.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
When people are grieving, you don't tell them, hey, just so you know, half of you are going to hell. That's just not what you do. Orthodoxy, I really appreciate a lot of things about it. The tradition, the history, the people I met. There were a few theological issues, things that they considered dogmatic that I think should be left to pious opinion.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
And at this point, Episcopalian was also on the list, but they are just... far too theologically progressive. I got to the point where somebody actually from this show, I think, told me about Anglican Catholicism. And I was like, oh, what's that? Looked into it, went to a service for Easter, then went again yesterday. And I really like everything about it. I'm a big fan. I like the people.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I liked the theology. I sat and had lunch with the priest earlier last week. Um, you know, theologically very in line with where I'm at. Very familiar to me as a Methodist. Basically just it, I feel like everything I like about Methodism is still there and all the problems I have with Methodism are, are properly handled.
The Lore Lads

Maybe I might be able to get, uh, the priest on to talk about the, the sect for weird Bible.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, I guess. Makes sense. I mean, if you take the best and brightest and you train them to think a certain way. Yeah. Kind of does work.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, but even just from, like, a social engineering perspective. Mm-hmm. if you take the above average kids and you train them to think that they are not only more than above average, but also, you know, that they have, they should, they should think a certain way that does give you some control over the next generation.

The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Oh, exactly. No, no, if we do Templars, I'm going to make sure we talk about the Templars. Yeah, but, you know. I've got to go read my essays on them again from college.

Listen, if that is your real name and you don't live in Poland, I am so sorry.

The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, like, I feel like there's not a ton to be said about the Bennington Triangle.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
When I get to Portland, I found my car was stolen. Incredible. I have not seen that, but now that you mention it, I feel like we've got to do a video on it.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Bear Grylls would pretend that he killed one with a bow and arrow, and then you'd have cameras off the action, and somebody's just holding a .30-06. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I think that was probably Kash Patel.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. Who I got to say, I loved that pick.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
He hates the FBI. Really? And he's in charge of the FBI. Yeah. Which is exactly the kind of person I want in charge of the nation's most powerful police force. Yeah. Yeah, that's valid.

Come here, girl. Come here, girly. Come on. Ah, come. Oh, come here, friend. Ah, there she is.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Oh, yeah. Yeah. It sounded a little dirty when you said that.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
You guys are saying a lot of stuff that confuses the hell out of us. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Miss Maury for $2 says... That girl also, the Bernie Sanders girl, also bought a $2 million apartment. Who is this? The girl who did the whatever you say, Boomer. Yeah? Yeah. Was that not just a meme? No, she was wearing a Bernie Sanders shirt for it. She became a political streamer and then bought a $2 million apartment.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Did he get got? I mean, he might have. I hope not. They did dismantle the bone tree. Stop building bone trees. Well, no, he found it. Every time I'm like, hey, don't do this, you guys are like, okay, so this is an instruction manual.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, I don't know. He didn't come back. Bone tree guy, wherever you're at, let us know you're okay. And if you're not, let us know your location and we'll come get you.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Oh, this is the deep lore. Yeah, this is early Lore Lodge. I don't even know. Like, we were still in my first Riverworks apartment, I think, for the Bone Tree.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
This was August 29th, 2021. So this was literally two months into this show existing.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Would you guys like to hear the Bone Tree story really quick? Yeah, yeah, you gotta do it. Apparently this is the second email about it. I work at a paintball field, so we've got a decent stretch of woods that are pretty untouched. Should I do a voice? Sure. The bone tree in question is the massive oak tree, probably a good six feet wide or more.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
There was a circle of bones around it when we first moved in. After we moved those bones, shit started happening. Not much for the first year or two. But in February of 2021, things escalated. I saw this skinny, creepy thing on the side of the road. Probably four to five feet tall on all fours. Legs way longer than they should have been. Movements didn't match what its body was doing.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, I know. If you haven't seen History Unhinged yet, great times. New episode came out, it was supposed to come out Saturday. I put it up yesterday because I'm a silly boy.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
And then something was stalking around my house for a day or two. Other people in town had weird shit too. Animals freaking out randomly. Voices trying to coax you into the woods. Just not good stuff. A week after that, we watch something in the field drag a deer 200 feet and then tear it in half. We have a video of what's left of the deer. It didn't eat it, by the way. Just killed it.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
We thought it was a coyote and a turkey at first. I'm not sure how that works. Uh... So whatever that creature was, it dwarfed this deer. Wisconsin has bears, but we're too far south for that. And a wolf is too small. After seeing all of this, the woods just got worse. If you get near the tree, it's dead silent. Feels like you're being watched.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
And you'll hear something big darting through the underbrush. We've seen human-like figures lurking in the woods and disappearing randomly. Our manager saw it first. After that, he and his family were having daily nightmares of red eyes coming from the tree line.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
A quote of what he did back in late June, I walked out to the tree and hammered seven iron nails into that tree in the shape of a cross and blessed the ground at the base of the tree with holy water. Finally, I poured salt in the circle around the tree. Since then, he says the nightmares are gone, but weird shit is still happening."
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Last Monday, I jokingly went, what's up, flesh pedestrian, while standing in the tree line, and next thing I knew, a six-foot tree was moving because something ran past it. So yeah, we're having a great time up here in Wisconsin. We'd love to hear what y'all have to say about this. On an unrelated note, love the content, especially the flood theories. Keep up the good work.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
God, that takes me back. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Man, this flesh pedestrian took you back.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Wow. Yeah. It's almost like we're back to having... I feel like we should make a movie about the flesh pedestrian. Yes. It's gotta be funny. Yes. It's gotta be a comedy. Yes. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Okay, this summer. Yeah. We don't even write a script. Nope. You're gonna write a beat sheet and we're gonna run with it. Yep. I'm all in. It's gonna be found footage using those Panasonic cameras we bought. Yes. Yes.

I was always a fun dip kid. I wasn't allowed to have candy with food dye in it. Because it made me twitch, we thought. Turned out the twitch was just a neurological thing that had nothing to do with my diet.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. That would be a good Indiana Jones movie. It would.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
He was out of town looking at trains. I was.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
It might have been related to the Vanished Village story.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
We gave it to you in person. Also, what game lands was that?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, so Brian, who we now know personally, and I went shooting with on Saturday, sent us an email two years ago. A full year before we met him. Like, he is now a close friend. Yeah. Like, we hang out with him routinely. Yes. But he sent us an email about a weird experience he had. And he told us about this, like, while we were having drinks down the street.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
And I was like, wait, I remember that email. Yeah. And I pulled it up. I was like, I remember talking to Aiden and being like, wait, there actually might be something to this.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
no no but specifically specifically and we're gonna gas up our buddy here uh he didn't want to cover it because he was like i feel like this is fake because it's written too well yeah yeah i was like there might be something to this but like it it's written it feels like a short story like that somebody wrote for no sleep yeah god that's so funny brian i'm down to go back to that part that game lands with you anytime like we got a shotgun somewhere in here yeah
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Does it have to be like, but all the bows for that are like boring compound bows.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Not than a long bow. Yeah. Yeah. How far do they shoot? With the ability to penetrate and kill. So long bows about a quarter of a mile.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
That's the Google AI overview.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
That's going to be more reliable than Google's AI.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Let me see. What does it say?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
What's the range, though? Because, again, a longbow can be deadly at 400 yards.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
But they don't range compound for arc. Maybe. Hang on. We'll see. We have more questions to get through, and I want to go home. Stop doing this. Why are you doing this to me?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, but the goal is to get the deer. I know, but, like, that's too much technology. Your bow shouldn't have, like, wheels.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I don't know. Might, might be nothing. Yeah. I don't know a ton of details.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I'll try and watch it this week and we can talk about it next week.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, like, it's, yeah, these are some creepy disappearances if you don't look into them at all. Paula Weldon's is still a little weird. One person did point out colored contacts and shirt, her faking a Southern accent. I did see that. Yeah. I was like in 19, in the 1940s. And then I looked it up and, uh, well, colored contacts were a thing. Colored contacts were apparently a thing in the 1940s.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
You know, I don't know why I expected anything else coming from this.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I might actually be able to get a really cool source on that too because my great uncle worked for JPL for a long time.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I'm just looking at the Uruguayan flight thing.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Going to be an actually very important part of the church. Yeah. At the ranch. I think so. Archie. Archie, buddy, do you want to be idolized?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
He looks very excited about the prospect. He is. Would you like to come here so you can be idolized?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Come on, buddy. You got this. What's in your mouth? Come on, my boy. Come on.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Until dawn for sure.

The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
There was a Bigfoot hunt game that was kind of fun, but definitely not finished.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
You will at the very least be asked to explain why you were blackballed. it's preferred that you work out whatever the issue is rather than try and go to another lodge.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Like if somebody tried to join the lodge who was known for cheating on their wife, got it. We would be like, no, stop cheating on your wife and then we'll consider it.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
People are people. God is God. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
We have free will. I mean, I think the big misconception a lot of people have is that God ordains or designs everything that happens here on earth when the entire foundational aspect of Abrahamic religion is free will. Yeah, I think a lot of this comes from the Calvinist tradition, a lot of reformists.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
So in America, Presbyterians and the idea that there is an elect and that God ordains things and that everything is predetermined. And that's not I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be mean to Calvinists or Presbyterians, but that's just simply incorrect theology.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, no, not at all.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
The answer to that is, well, if free will doesn't exist, there's no point. What would be the point in making a world where nobody has free will?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Because at that point... Again, in Christian religion, there is. Exactly. Yeah. Personally, I would argue the vast majority of Christians and the vast majority of atheists, the vast majority of all people that I've ever interacted with when it comes to talking about Christianity do not know nearly enough about it to be having conversations about it.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Which is a failing of the church when it comes to Christians. But it's also a failing of other people who aren't Christian when it comes to learning about the religion. Because what they do is they base it off of their understanding of it, which is typically based off of people who don't know much.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I like it. All right. Well, we got a few more here that came in before 745.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
No, that's actually exactly what I want.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Either, you know, if we'd be willing to probably... If we could pay you what the university would pay you to be a TA, which I believe is typically somewhere in the range of like $8 to $12 an hour, that's something we could afford. If we could get... Or if we could do for credit, that would be even better, I think. Yeah. Obviously, because it doesn't cost us money.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
But we want to be able to give you something in return. It's just we're limited on what we can provide. College credit is probably going to be the most efficient thing. Because then it's part of your credit hours. But also, we could afford a small amount of money. It would just limit the amount of hours we can offer. So...
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
But yeah, that'll be something. If you want to shoot us a resume over to, shoot me a resume to mattis at redactedmediapa.com.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, I just get bogged down.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Oh, right, right, right, right, right. Flight 800 crash. Transworld Airlines Flight 800 was a scheduled international passenger flight from John F. Kennedy to Rome. Approximately 12 minutes after takeoff, exploded and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. Wow. Wow.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, I wonder if this report, if the NTSB report is available online, I can definitely do that.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Oh, got it. In case your mom's mad. Oh, she is.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
We're going to do a Donner party trip. Yes, at some point. So on the way back from that, we could probably stop through Colorado.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. I would love to stop in Boulder.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I want to go stand outside of the house and be like, Jon, I know what you did.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. Let's go. Let's go. We did it. Dude, his people are culty. So were they. That's true, but our cult is fun.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. I mean, I would just do it in the style of the Tartaria one where I'd just be like, and here's what they say. And here's why that's obviously wrong. Yeah. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
And it's not a cult.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I mean, Blobfest. Yeah, come to Blobfest. Yeah, that's probably the most consistent thing.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Also, like, I keep seeing conventions pop up and people get invited to them who aren't, like, Not to, this is going to sound bad, but who aren't anywhere near where we're at.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
And it's like they're getting invited to be speakers at like cryptid conventions and stuff. And where's our invite?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
We're talking about people who have like 25,000 subscribers on YouTube who are getting invited to speak at cryptid conventions who like swear they saw Bigfoot.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Start our own thing. Yeah, like Pennhurst has a thing every year. We're right here. They know we exist because I've emailed them. And we don't get invited to Pennhurst's thing. Yeah, that's pretty nuts. Start flooding the email accounts of conventions and things you'd like to see us at. And that's when we'll show up to do meet and greets. When they ask us to come.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Oh yeah. Next year for the 25th anniversary.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
You know what I want to do? I want to get myself booked at CPAC and give a speech where I'm really confused because I thought it was CryptidPAC. The Cryptid Political Action Conference? Yes.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
With Bigfoot as his vice.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Oh my God, Aiden. You're going to need to do this because I'll forget. I will work on the design. Yes. You contact Bunker. Yeah. Since Trump did just put out a 2028 rewrite the rules hat. Yep. Mothman 2028. And I will come up with a slogan.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Perfect. And we put it on a shirt.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Mothman 2028, bad things are happening. Because that's the Mothman legend, is that it's an omen of tragedy. Bad things happen in the White House. Bad things happen in Philadelphia. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, Mothman 2028, the vibes ain't good, chief. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
You know what I have come across recently is not just people who are, like, truthers. They're deniers. That it ever happened? Oh, yeah, there's people who deny that 9-11 happened. This is what happens when people born after 2001 grow up. I was going to say, yeah, because there's no way they were alive. No. It's like, that... Listen, I can understand arguing it was an inside job.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I'm not really aware of anything of the sort. You gotta read again. I've read it a lot. I've read it a lot of times. Cover to cover? Yeah.

Are you sure you're not thinking about the Greeks?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
No, the Romans, it was only okay if you were a top. And you still had to be straight. Other than that. Affirms? Interesting. I can understand the argument that it doesn't condemn. I don't know about affirms.
The Lore Lads

See, there it is. Two of two.

The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Because he's British. Oh, okay. Gotcha. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cigarettes.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Wait, just really quickly. If you do, those were two $5 Super Chats, right? Correct. If you do a $10 one, it gives you more characters. I'm just saying. Instead of doing two fives, you could do one ten, I think. Although maybe it was too many characters for a ten. Maybe.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Okay. I'm a little torn on this.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
A Bronchiosaurus would be super helpful for reaching things on high shelves. A Parasaurolophus, however, has a sick-ass horn and front arms that can both serve as legs and arms. But I got to go with an Allosaurus. Not only because I could ride it into battle, but also because Big Al...
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, that's the one you're thinking of.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I can understand that. There used to be buildings there. Most people alive in New York today saw them in person.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I like the big... Did you know Triceratops might not have been real? What? Yeah. They might have screwed up. How?
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
They might have screwed up on Triceratops. There was also a proto-triceratops thing that just had one horn. Or just had the frill thing.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Then there's stegosaurus, which is baller. It's the spiky back one.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Plesiosaur. That's it.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Either that or the one... This is scary to me right now. Yeah. I haven't thought about this in years.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
You're going to get so many different things. Talking about the aquatic one? Yeah. Yeah, I think it's an ichthyosaur. That guy. Yep.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Don't apologize, do it more often. Alcoholism isn't a bad thing. It's just a challenge.

Bad. I don't know what it is. Why not? Bad. No. There is no evidence whatsoever of large-scale human habitation in the Ricotte structure. The Ricotte structure.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
It's just like... I also saw a tweet yesterday that was like... Are you familiar with the term tanky? People who think authoritarian communism is good. Not just communism, like what Stalin was doing.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, I know. No, there's no evidence of large-scale human habitation. It is not in the right place. It's a collapsed volcanic dome. The last time it was lush and green isn't in the time frame given for Atlantis. it's not in the right geographic location. And most importantly, Jimmy Corsetti is the biggest fraud to ever walk the earth.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Jimmy Corsetti has blocked me on Twitter at least twice now because I simply asked a series of questions that showed he was lying. Who is he? He's a, like a, he's a wannabe Graham Hancock. Oh, got it. Okay. That's all I need to know. He's a total dweeb. Got it.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
He's been on Rogan and just said stuff that you're like, if you know even a little bit about this, you know it's not true. He's one of those people that calls himself a researcher and then doesn't actually do any research. He just confirms his biases.

As for Spiderwick Chronicles, I actually read the books. i'm not familiar at all when they came out i probably would credit them with i driving my love of folklore um they they're all they're all full of like uh like fey goblins and things like that yeah uh great kids books too i mean look let me tell you guys if if you have kids and they are at uh like early novel reading age.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Spiderwick Chronicles are awesome. They're not super long. They are the right amount of fun and, you know, a little bit scary at times. They're so good. Can't recommend it enough.

The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, that's why I want to leave.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167

Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. For the higher-value ones? Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Oh, okay, now I see what you did.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah, I did. I tried to bring it up several times. It didn't occur to me this late into the show. I should probably keep doing that. Yeah. Should probably have like a... I'm going to see if I can set a super chat timer thing.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
That's... We'll get into that later. But no, it was somebody that said that China is preparing to perform the first manned moon mission. And I was like, first? Like, in this century? Sure. First? First? We did that, what, 60 years ago-ish? Like, 54 years ago? As we learned on this past week's video, this is not the math lodge.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. Wait, okay. Sorry, I'm reading up on this thing really quick.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Thank you. Senior husband? You know what? I'm going to... I'm going to read through this, and then without any context, I'm going to explain my thoughts on it at the beginning of next stream.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Yeah. The one person who listens. We said don't touch the bones. You didn't touch the bones, and you're still alive. You're setting a great precedent for everybody else in here. Thank you.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
All right. Well, thank you, everybody, for being here tonight. I did not expect this to take nearly three hours.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Hey, here we are. All right. Thank you all so very much. And we will see you on the next one. See you guys. Oh, wait, really quickly. I'm going to spend most of Saturday streaming Oblivion Remastered on the Aiden Mattis channel. And drinking.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
Okay. Bye, guys. See you.
The Lore Lads
The Lore Lads Invite You To Ask Us Anything | Podcast Episode 167
I'm considering the first mission to, like, land on the moon. That was 68, wasn't it? 68 or 69, yeah. Yeah. So that's what? 60... 80, 90... That's like 54 years.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
The version I have even gives some like cool information about the founding fathers ahead of it. And like, you know, I've done research on them. Like I had to do a book report on Ben, Benny Frank in fourth grade. Oh, what a guy. What a guy. Didn't know that. I knew that Washington didn't actually have wooden teeth.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
I guess he subscribed to the idea if he can't take it with you.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
They were human teeth for the most part. Well, and I didn't know the other details of it, which were also hippopotamus, some elephant tusk that was carved, and they were affixed via lead. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
I don't know if it's... I know it was definitely partially an Irish thing on my side, and I know there was a lot of German on portions of my family as well. Yeah. Were large families also an Italian thing?
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
No, it's same thing on my mom's side. She was one of, I think, five and only three made it.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
No, I get it. So I just met one of my cousins that is our age, that has lived in this area his entire life, who is the son of my grandfather's brother's son. We look very similar. Oh, I'm sure. Met him for the first time like three months ago.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
interesting isn't history just so very silly it really is yeah this is why people should watch history videos i i think youtube does not like it when we make history videos i think for the sake of history unhinged uh-huh both you and steven focus on pre-renaissance i'm gonna start researching post-renaissance sounds good just so that way i can fill in the gap also it's age of sale more yeah that's more your thing that's more your speed yeah
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah, things weren't as stringent back then.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Did they even really have... I believe they could test blood types.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Which is insane it was that recent.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Okay, why is that specifically interesting to you?
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
When did he officially make that switch?
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah, at the very least, it should be some form of reaction stream on your main channel.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
I'm sure that's what they thought in the 1400s as well.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
I mean, that's not odd. That's just blatant.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Okay. Oh, there were no Christian overtones in the introduction segment? Well, Sons of the Forest is the sequel.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Oh, this actually reminds me. Remember that story you wrote about essentially this kind of style of thing, but in Greenland that we were going to turn into a movie?
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
No, no, no, the story of the group of, like, not SAS people, but, like, covert people. Oh, yeah, now I know what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you base that on anything real life? No. Apparently, that was a thing. Huh? Apparently, there were, like, secret testing facilities that the U.S. had in the middle of the 20th century in Greenland.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
I just found out about this, like, a week ago. I meant to bring it up to you. Totally forgot.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah, no, apparently they dug tunnels into... They had whole networks inside of glaciers in Greenland for secret government facilities. The only reason they stopped is because the ice was too unstable. Damn, I'm good. Yeah, but that's the thing. It wasn't buildings. They were just carving things into the ice, like labs and stuff. That's hilarious. Yeah, it's nuts.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
So apparently there's lore to things that... You manifested something into the past. Well done.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
It's not a cult, it's just a ranch. We're never beating the allegations. Anyway, back to the criminal angle.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah, honestly... That's what happened with the boy in the box. It would not be a bad idea. It would probably take a lot, unfortunately, but to do a video on that? Yeah. Because even the little bits that we've covered...
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Also, the likelihood that that baby would reach even adolescence was much lower.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Well, also, at the end of the day, like, from their perspective, if you were a struggling family with multiple children and a wealthy family from the city comes and offers, hey, we would like a child, we would like to offer you this money, I'm sure the familial justification on the other end was basically...
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
well, if we give our child to a wealthy family, the likelihood that that child is going to have, like, reach adulthood and reach, you know, have a better life, reach adulthood, is much higher. This is actually better for the child. Yeah. Again, not necessarily saying that it's the most moral thing in the world, but I can understand the justification, at the very least, of the parents.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah, out of wedlock in a Catholic family back then was so much worse socially. Like, horribly bad back then.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah, there was a official rule that we weren't supposed to do that. And then somebody did it.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Specifically, it was talking about the park in Foxchase where the one child was found. Yeah, not even a child. 22-year-old.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Environments matter in a place like what we're describing initially for the story. Uh, it's very feasible. Like for example, uh, I managed to travel multiple miles on a beach in less than two hours. Yep. At the age of like three, just cause you know, I was a baby who liked to talk to people.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
realistically they probably just wandered off their property yep also really quickly everybody uh in order to keep things somewhat concise because we've gone yeah i see three hours every i see a lot yeah super chats coming in we are going to uh answer super chats that were submitted only up until 8 p.m tonight yes um we're gonna try and keep that going moving forward just because if
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
If we start doing Super Chats and more and more keep coming in, we end up staying here until 10, 30, 11 o'clock at night. And A, we're sick right now, so it's going to be kind of hard for us to do. And B, we have loved ones who... Would like to see us. Yes, and get a little upsetting when it goes too long, which is fair. Yeah. But anyway...
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
We should cover that at some point.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
So a lot of these cases are of people that are far too young and far too obviously criminal for them to make sense as missing 4-on-1. What do you think of the percentage that actually could be of the 4-on-1 profile?
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Less than half. How many of them were even in Pennsylvania, though?
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah, there's uncertain credibility of the validity of the threats, but... Oh, no, it's apparently, like, he's sending more texts, it's apparently... Either way, the fact that these are even in circulation means you should be on a little bit higher of alert. Anybody that you know in a hospital, make them aware of this being a potential threat at the very least.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
I'm sure hospitals will be increasing their levels of security as a result, but it never hurts to at least be aware and be vigilant.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah. Like, it's not there. I was going to say, are there any that have even three of the points?
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah, nowhere near Westchester. It's up near New York.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Newfoundland. Take it or leave it.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
I feel like the weird ones that, like, actually could be within the Missing Foreman profile should have their own video of, like, the actual Missing Foreman videos of Pennsylvania.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Did we get approval to use the audio for that? Not yet, because I have forgotten to ask.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
We do indeed. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for sending Super Chats preemptively. We always appreciate it, and we look forward to addressing all of the ones that you sent prior to 8 p.m. Yes. First one is from A7XMShadows19 for $1.99 saying, Missing 411 more like missing 404, but I'm just... You silly. Law said Mattis doesn't have a gun.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
This seems to be a meme in chat right now because a lot of people were saying that at the beginning of the show.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah, more the, you know, the, I don't know. What's a propaganda war movie? A what? A propaganda war movie. I was trying to think of a war movie that glorifies war, and I was like more of that rather than like, you know.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
No, to me, everything I was... Especially when they're killing aliens. Black Hawk Down was definitely not pro-war.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
that's why the newer Call of Duty's flopped they weren't propaganda they were trying to present war as it really is but they weren't doing it to the level with all sorts of crazy sliding mechanics that's the thing you either gotta go one way or the other you can't try and bounce in the middle you either need to go old school Call of Duty or Hell Let Loose yeah
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
You can always replay them. It's not the same. That's fair. Montana Leslie is a new member. Woo, thank you. Gomb says that the girlfriends should host the April Fool's episode. Oh, yeah.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Also, Duo Black Rose is doing us a solid here saying, listening on my new Raycon TM earbuds, best sound quality I've had on earbuds. Thanks for the discount code.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
For what you get, they are worth it. Definitely the best bang for the buck that we've seen. yeah uh ancient anglican for two dollars says more like missing credibility on my right yeah oh yeah hell yeah
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah, a lot of the things that you've discussed about David Politis on this channel and in the videos that we've created really just lends itself to believe, in my eyes, that there just wasn't due diligence and confirmation bias due to a desire for a specific hypothesis to be proven correct.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Generally, Sasquatch is usually a term in reference to members of mountain tribes. That appears to be the case. Where furs are just more hairy.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
So that seems to be a more accurate explanation of the origins of the Sasquatch myth.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
In that regard, you could much more feasibly argue that Dennis Martin was taken by Sasquatch. Exactly.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah. People who just do their own thing. They don't want to be part of society as a whole. Which, like, granted, I get it. Think of them like wilderness-prone Amish, except probably without the religious bent.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Papa Placid for $4.99 says, Hello, Lord Laddies. By the time you read this, I'll be at Bible study, but would you rather run into a mountain lion or a Sasquatch while hiking? Sasquatch. Yeah, Sasquatch because there's the potential that they actually speak English.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Incredibly lucky it's a cub or it's injured. It's probably worse if it's a cub. Yeah, because that means mom is going to come kill you.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
So two things. One, you played a lot of Call of Duty as a kid. And two, you would never cut it as a spy.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yep, and just hope that it doesn't decide to use its claws on your chest.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
We did see many bears. We are aware that both at the time of year we were there and also, you know, the frequency of people being in the park that the risk was low.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Also, like in areas where you have more than black bears, for example, brown slash grizzly bears out west. Yeah. Much bigger concern. Obviously, Alaska, much bigger concern.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Or generally run. Every encounter I've ever had with a black bear, which is at least half a dozen at this point, is that as soon as it recognized I was there, it bolted because it was so scared.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Anyway, Icy for $5 says, been following you guys since your first video with Wendigo, and I always listen to the lives in the next day at work. Y'all are the best. Keep it up.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yes. uh mr dilo who has been a member for six months and says ooga booga ooga chaka ooga ooga ooga chaka yeah there we go uh trains and stuff has says uh they were kidnapped by big milk and hooked up to uh machines for such a device or purpose uh for our glorious leaders consumption praise be to the milk i want to be abundantly clear that i ordered no such thing
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
The question is, where would you be stationed?
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Oh, Gomb is making fun of me saying, hey, do you know what a Senate is?
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
No, it's supposed to be two from each state.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah, because in the whole point that one's supposed to be one party, one's supposed to be the other party.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Not just that, but also like the conditions upon which you vote for a candidate.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
focus more on the things that matter yeah and not whatever political football both parties have decided that they're going to try and cultivate an emotional response from you from isn't it crazy how like there are three issues that have just been an issue since the 60s isn't it nuts how none of them have been solved because it's been able to be consistently taken advantage of for the sake of emotionally aggravating the public to the point where they go to the polls
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Would it be so great if the people you elected actually solved the problems that you elected them to solve rather than just push it, kick it down the road, push it down the line?
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
That's territory we can't cover on this show.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
We there has been a noticeable drought. In relation to certain elements of the forest.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
We're going to be down there on Thursday. I've been on that show. I know. I can't believe I navigated that show. I was literally just going to say, you did such a good job of not letting him box you into a corner. Oh, yeah. Because, my God, he wanted to. He wanted to.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
That reminds me, I literally, in the History Unhinged episode that's coming out this Friday, I just put in the pictures of how Japan painted the Dutch people.

Abolish an income tax and institute a luxury tax.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah, for the most part, I think we generally tend to stay in the realm of reasonable, common sense things on this show. If we don't, let us know. Cdog1019 for $20 says, on content and the JonBenet series, don't be afraid to tell us that there's more info in past episodes rather than spending one third of the follow-up episode recapping. I kept checking to see if I was re-watching episode one.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
There was some in one or two of them, I guess, where you kind of like... The issue was is that Because so much happened in the first, like, 72 hours. Yeah. As you went further into that 72-hour period in the first, like, three episodes, you would often refer back to things that happened.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Nicholas Long for five bucks says, greetings from Pennsburg, Pennsylvania. Oh, well, hello. Where's Pennsburg? I don't know. It's got to be somewhere around here. I also do think it's funny that they wrote the Constitution in Philadelphia, but they misspelled Pennsylvania on it. What? Yeah. Huh? And there's a few typos in the Constitution. This is me having... It's handwritten, so... Yeah.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
But one of the most glaring typos is towards the end of it, Pennsylvania. Uh-huh. N is spelled with one N. Even though they spent like 40 days or something in Philly hammering out what was going to be in the Constitution. I don't know. And it's not like they printed it either. I know. Oh, that's funny.

Saying, I need my nicotine more than you need your catalytic converter. P.S. I'm in your walls. P.S.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
i mean you joke but yeah that's how a lot of people end up looking at it yeah the amount of people i know that have had their cat stolen in philly is surprisingly high it's weird there's a lot of rare and like expensive metals in there man addicts are some oddly efficient people yeah they're not idiots
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
There you go. Find you. You know, the cats have stuff. I can't remember exactly what's in them, but they're worth like two or three hundred bucks. because all of the metals that are in them specifically, all the exhaust runs over them, and it passively converts carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. Interesting. Yeah. Huh.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
That's the reason they're there, is because they're lowering greenhouse gas emissions specifically, not in the sense that they're lowering the gross amount that come out, but... They're making the ones that do come out less toxic?
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah. Elon, get on that. Yeah, the biggest problem with that is getting... The amount of energy it would take to turn carbon dioxide into a carbon chain that is stable as its own element requires way more energy put in
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
uh like then would be like economically feasible to use the byproduct or the end product yeah or anything i'm not one of the big brain science boys i'm just saying do it but they wouldn't be able to market it to anybody find a way uh fair enough there it is um some if somebody does it they're gonna become very rich
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
I've been wanting to go for ages. It was just like I didn't have enough ahead of time information to where I was able to get the video done ahead of time.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
No, that's the problem, is because any purpose of utilizing that carbon, for example, if you wanted to use it for carbon fiber, there are far cheaper means of getting carbon chains that can be utilized for the fabric and threads in carbon fiber. You would be like... multiplying the cost by magnitudes.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Impressive. I can't remember who. I hope they use solar panels or wind because the power consumption on that would be brutal. Yeah, it's nuts. Yeah. Anyway. Anyway, Joshua Duguay says, would you guys consider doing an episode on the Molly Bish case? Write that down. I'm going to have to write down Molly Bish. And then Cheyenne Tetrault for Canadian $5 says, Sorry you guys are cold.

The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Oh, I wonder if because we've developed such a large Canadian audience, if somehow Canadian servers are bottlenecking American content somehow as a result of current politics? I don't know. Hopefully not. Yeah, YouTube, we're not Canadians. Zork the Destroyer, for another Canadian, for 249, says, bro, Ben Franklin is history's greatest hag-maxer. Which is a... What a term!
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
I didn't think I'd be saying today. Yeah, it's valid. Also, the real William White is reiterating that you don't have a gun, and so is Gomb, for some reason. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
That's true. I, I have a medallion that apparently you all got very upset. Don't do it. Are you doing it? He's doing it. I don't know the context behind this and I don't care, but Supposedly, it's Chris Chan. The only thing I've ever seen of Chris Chan is the getting arrested thing in, like, Colorado. That was it.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
I was thinking this combination is something that's... Also, YouTube, for the record, it has a leather sheath on. This should be a combination that occurs somewhere in the calendar.

I'm just not gonna be sexy for the calendar. I'm gonna intentionally be gross, because I think it's funnier. So, Duo Black Rose for $2 says, weren't supposed to be a little taller than Penn's hand, not hat.

I watched a three-hour video on the Iran-Contra affair, and the guy started the video by saying, I'm going to go through all of this the best I can. It's a very confusing topic, so feel free to rewatch. After having gone through all three hours of it, I can confirm. It's extremely confusing, and I remember basically none of it, so I'm going to have to rewatch it again.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
You remember all the conversations we've had over the last like decade or so where like where I've I've said things and you've been stunned by them. Yeah. Just in terms of like the U.S. basic things.

Yeah. And if Martin Luther King would have been allowed to continue cheating on his wife. Yeah, probably. It's amazing how many amazing men of the 20th century or just history in general cheated on their wives. It's shocking. I think we forget how frequently that like great men weren't great. Correct. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah, because he wouldn't want it. No, that's the thing. I literally said this to Kat today. I was like, it's a shame that the vast majority of people who lead don't deserve it. And the vast majority of the people who are the right people to lead desperately don't want to. Yeah.

So anyway, Trash Talks says, I'll lower your lodge. Oh, yeah.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
That is a crazy, crazy take to close the conversation. It would have worked. The war would have been over.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Again, not saying we should have. You'd think that what had happened in Japan would have made the point enough.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
What if we just said it would have made the point. If you don't stop, we're going to use it again.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
No, but that's my point is. Even if we did it just to the border there, I'm sure they would have done it to like the border of Canada.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
So that's where mutually assured destruction kind of came in for Canada.
The Lore Lads

The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Oh, shut up. By the way, really quickly, just in case, considering there's a lot of weird things happening right now. If you hear anybody talking about a phrase called seditious libel and being in favor of it, beat them with a stick. Do you mean the Alien and Sedition Acts? Specific. Yeah. Yeah. Specifically, they're a bad thing. Yes. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Seditious libel is something that not only existed in or like it was in talks in early United States, but it's something that existed in European countries and in some countries today still does and is specifically a law that prevents you from criticizing your government. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution exists specifically to clarify that we do not allow seditious libel laws.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
We do not condone seditious libel laws because it prevents the people from criticizing their government and holding them accountable for the bad things that they do.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
So good. But yeah, if you hear anybody talking about the Alien Sedition Acts or saying that, you know, seditious libel should be regulated and should be, you know, legislated against.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
But that's the thing, is it's not treason. It's not treason to criticize your government. If anything, if you're not criticizing something that you love, you don't really love it. But remember, every 4th of July, treason tis the season.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163

The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163

The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah. There are a number of good channels that do that. There's one that I really like. Oh, God, what's his name? Uh... Nick Hodges is the guy who runs it.

The Lore Lads

Yep. Also, Nick Hodges is history buffs on YouTube. The channel has 1.7 million subscribers. He does phenomenal work.

Something like that. Well, he also was back in like later, like 15. Yeah.

The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Oh, yeah. It's so good. Oh, it was so, yeah. Oh, also the guy, Frank, in TV7. Yeah. Also, if you don't know, plays Gibbs in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah, that's fair. I think Frank was great. Yeah, I would say either Hendrickson or... I'm gonna have to go with either original Ruby or Lisa Cohen's character. Gotcha. They were great. I just, they were fun. Um, also I couldn't say, uh, actually wrong. At least top three episode was baby for me.

The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
They just didn't know what to do with her. They brought her back and they did nothing with her. Also, bringing back Bobby that wasn't Bobby was dumb.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah, and granted, we acknowledged while we were down there that obviously the environment had changed. The field was nowhere near what it was back then. So due to the different circumstances, we can understand that, okay, maybe there are different ways that this could have happened that we can't necessarily properly analyze based on the different evidence that exists here.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
I did not believe... that Dean would be a secret super Swifty fan. No. So in like season 12, when he was like, I'm actually like such a big fan or whatever they had him say, it was like, Sam, I would have believed that. Yes.

Or John Mayer, because he'd be like, no, no, no, I swear he's a really good guitar player.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
I think the problem with that character, though, is because theoretically he played it well because the character was supposed to be someone who didn't know anything. Yeah. And also for the majority of the time on screen, he didn't have a soul. Oh, how did I forget Lucifer?
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
I will say underrated the Rockstar guy who played Lucifer. Yeah, he was good, too. I thought he was more intimidating than anything Mark ever did.

yeah he did uh low says for adding context to the constitution uh vindicate quote vindication of the government of new england's churches our new england churches by rev john wise also had a ship named after him is a recommended read and we'll check it out also it was interesting because there are definitive um delineations between church and state in the constitution which is cool yeah Yeah.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
That being said, understanding based off of photography and descriptions of the location at the time... those taken into account while being in the location we were at still led it to be a confusing conclusion.

Yeah. No, you can't. Prejudice or prevent people from their free practice of religion. No.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Honestly, at the end of the day, knowing the religion of someone that you elect should make it simpler to know what their morality generally probably is.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
yeah generally unless they're unless it's biden in which case it's like i'm not sure if that man could enter the church time will tell and then the last super chat from before eight i'm surprised he wasn't excommunicated actually Yeah, I don't know. He's from GOM saying a very fitting super chat of good night, bussy boys, 4 a.m. rise and grind tomorrow.

The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
I do have a copy of the Constitution in my house, but I've never read the full thing. I'm just going to do that. And wow, it is amazing how much more you understand how the government operates by one simple document. Oh, yeah, it's helpful to say the least. And it's shocking that up to this point, I've never had a reason or been thoroughly encouraged enough to read it.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
He was very nice. I don't think he really did much of anything good or bad. Everyone kind of forgets.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah. Again, more things that had I been anywhere near motivated enough to read the Constitution prior to last night, I would have known.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah. That's how we get ourselves into these situations, ladies and gentlemen. Read the document. It's helpful. It's a very helpful document. It is amazing how much more you understand how things work.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
I think there's only two amendments that actually change anything about the document. Yeah, one was repealing prohibition.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
No, but I'm saying specifically things that changed the document.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Specifically with that one encounter up on that road with Harold Key.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yep. Oh, also really interesting thing. You know, the whole like like argument about well-regulated militia and things like that.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Also, 18 and 50 throughout the Constitution of 45 throughout the Constitution, the army and the militia are definitively regarded as separate entities. Oh, yeah.
The Lore Lads
What Happened To Missing 411? | Podcast Episode 163
Yeah. Is it a Supreme Court decision or was it legislation from Congress? Got it. I'm going to look it up right now. I can't type. We're slowly becoming a poli-sci.

Locke's like, you know what? I think humans are inherently good. And I think they should be trusted.
The Lore Lads

Locke, if I remember correctly, was the origin of life, liberty, and the pursuit of property.
The Lore Lads

Because you have to live somewhere. I think an occupational tax is better than a property tax. That's what we have here. We also have property tax. Oh, which camera are we using right now? The main one. We also have property tax. The borough council here is very corrupt and we hate them. But no, an occupational tax makes more sense.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Just instead of taxing me on the property I own, tax me on the money I'm making. Yeah. You're already doing that.
The Lore Lads

But I should not be able to lose my home because I didn't pay for the property I already own.

I'm not renting it. When we get the ranch, I'm going to file for it to be its own municipality.

Yeah. Yeah. I love paying taxes on every transaction I make.
The Lore Lads

The intention is to fund local goods or local public services. There's just other ways to do it. Yeah. Like, no. It's my property. Yeah. And to be clear, I don't own any property. This isn't me trying to defend my own position in society. I don't own property.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
You can't. Why not? Because the Constitution doesn't say anything about property taxes. It says that those powers are left to the states. Yeah.
The Lore Lads

Legislative. You'd have to come up with a bill. You'd have to pass that bill. They'll never do it. No, they will not.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And, you know, strung people along pretending that it could have. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here like absolutely nobody proved this didn't happen. The. A federal police agency saying, no, it didn't happen, knowing nobody can prove them wrong, is not proof of anything.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Nobody actually paid it. It was 91%. It was, and nobody actually paid it. They did. No, they found ways around it. Nobody actually paid that tax bracket.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
There were also tax shelters and overseas accounts.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
That wouldn't work today because of overseas tax havens. People will just move their registry to Ireland or Cyprus. Couldn't do that in the 50s.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I would trust gas station sushi more than that. I would trust an offer of a small plane ride from Hillary Clinton more than that. Um... So, I don't see the RCMP denying it as any form of proof that it didn't happen. What I do find interesting, though, is you look at the way they handled the Amber Takaro case, which, by the way, was in 2008. Might have been 2010, actually. Point is, recent...
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
It's just like there's a reason that that doesn't work anymore.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
What would work is, you know, not overtaxing the middle class into oblivion. That's the problem. If you stopped taxing everybody a third of their income, that'd be great.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, that's too many. Now there's six. 15% flat. Done. Yeah. Yeah. I need that money more than the government does. No, I agree. I think... I don't care if rich people are rich. I care that I'm not poor. I agree. And the government's the only thing making me poor. And we're getting too much into politics. Fair enough. There's more Super Chats.

Yeah. The Chinese are doing so much Twitter propaganda right now. Oh, there is so much Chinese. Like, it's weird. Like when we banned TikTok for two hours and everybody switched over to Red Note, I think the Chinese government saw an opportunity. And now there's just a ton of really stupid Chinese propaganda on Twitter.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Just sword rattling. You know, them being like, you know, talking about how they're so strong and they're so tough. And like, I mean, it's... It's the kind of thing that like if Americans were posting the way they post, you'd be like, this is the most obvious propaganda I've ever seen. You're an idiot. Yeah. If you believe this, but you've got a whole bunch of people who hate the West.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
So they're like totally buying into the Chinese stuff. They act like China has no poverty, like China has no ethical violations of any kind. Meanwhile, they're so they're bragging about how China is this incredibly ethical, moral place where everybody lives perfectly.

They basically went, ah, she's probably fine, and took her off the missing persons list. And then only after public outrage was she put back on the missing persons list. We have this case, 1930. Hey, I found a weird abandoned village out there, and maybe somebody should go check it out. See what happened up there. The RCMP is like, ah, we definitely did not investigate that.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Meanwhile, they're bragging about the fact that a Chinese fleet has been sailing around Australia for the last two weeks, like just outside of Australia's national territory. And nobody's doing anything about it.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah. Me neither. I'm having a good time right now.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah. But it's like, you can't, you can't sit there talking about how China is a great place and the West is the aggressor while you're actively bothering Australia with your Navy. Also like, We could delete that entire fleet off the face of the earth in two seconds, and there's nothing they could do about it. Stop. Just stop. We have more boats than you. We have more planes than you have boats.

The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Nothing happened there. Actually, you know, that day, nothing happened at all. And it was all Western propaganda. Nothing happened in 1986. 1989. So, yeah, I guess nothing happened in Tiananmen Square in 1986. You're right. The first thing happened in 1986. Yeah, with Chernobyl.
The Lore Lads

I don't know. A lot of that information... There's Chinese fishing fleets off the coast of Argentina that contain thousands of ships that are stripping the entire Argentine coast of wildlife against international law. That's a thing. Whale Wars, guys, where you at? They're going to need the entire U.S. Navy. Phenomenal. There's a lot of ships. It's just a sea of ships.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
There's a reason they're not off the Chinese coast. They're trying to starve Argentinians.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Because, Aiden, they don't care about anyone but China. Yeah, but Argentina is such a random place. Because it's the breadbasket of South America, that part of the sea.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
That didn't even happen. Nobody came and reported that. What are you talking about? I... Now, when we shift the demographic a little bit, and what I was going to say earlier is they don't really try very hard no matter whether you're a native or not. That's kind of what I was going with is like, I used to think that it was, oh, they just, you know, they're just racist about it. No, they're lazy.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
They're just stripping an entire section of the Sea of Life.

We canified ourselves. We might have. Oh no. We might want to check. Get me off this ride. We might want to check. We ran out of American content and YouTube thinks we're Canadian now? Yeah. Eh? Oops. Sorry. Sorry there. Gotta show up in full Mountie garb next time. Oh my god, that'd be amazing. That'd actually be hilarious. New donation goal. Give us $10,000 and we'll dress as RCMP officers.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Always. They're always lazy. They're just even more lazy when it comes to natives. But then you have, you know, the Nahanni River thing. Or you have Stephanie Stewart. Or you have Bart Schleyer. They actually did go look. And all these were white people. And they put in just the tiniest amount of effort. Which is an improvement. But it's still not good.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Just blend in. Yeah. Oh my god. I think one of my favorite incidences of this in...
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
in television lately, was actually Yellowstone, where the livestock wardens with Casey are riding out to catch some horse thieves, and they catch them at a river that borders Canada, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are on the other side of the river, and the livestock wardens are like, well, do you want to get them, or do you want them to be punished? That's great.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And the Canadians are just kind of like,
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I mean, like I said, if you're genuinely understaffed and that's the problem you're having, I'm sorry. Yeah. But most of our criticism of the RCMP is more about the organizational structure than it is the individual Mounties.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I'm sure that there are good cops. I'm sure there are good Mounties. But good Lord, you've got to overcome a massive pain in the ass of a hierarchy.

I only... said the messiah I said how dare you question the messiah I didn't say I was the messiah no no you said they would never kill the messiah they would never kill their messiah or something it was along those lines there was death involved it's not a cult it's just a very loyal group of followers are social media accounts cults
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Oh, yeah. My favorite part was there was one book on the recent case that we just did last week. which was on The Vanished Village. That one. Yes. In one of the books I was reading about the case, somebody goes, you know, but the RCMP did get their man and then proceeded to explain how they just said it didn't happen. That's not getting your man. No, that is not getting your man.

And they all had different personality variants. I feel like there was a Jimmy Neutron episode that made fun of this. Yeah, there definitely was. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I think so, because, you know, it's a lot harder to explain unsolved murders. up in Nahanni, then it's a lot easier to just be like, ah, they got cold and bears ate them. Horrible. It's a lot easier to say that than go, hmm, somebody's murdering prospectors. Which, like, they proved somebody was murdering prospectors. Some of them were found with bullet holes. That's the thing.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yes. Probably in the podcast studio would be my guess.
The Lore Lads

The Lore Lads

Still not sure what Amir Huckleberry means.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, no, those ones, no. My first fantasy series was actually The Chronicles of Xanth, believe it or not, by Piers Anthony. Other than that, though, I think the main ones that I haven't had a ton of time to read for pleasure in the last couple of years, but main fantasy stories that I was looking at were like Ranger's Apprentice, which I understand was a kid series, but still just phenomenal.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Exactly. And I think the issue is, and I don't blame them because some of these cases, like Bartish Lyre, if he was murdered, that's unsolvable. Oh, yeah. You're never figuring out who did that.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
A Song of Ice and Fire, Lord of the Rings. I feel like there's another one that's on the tip of my tongue that I used to read a lot, but I can't remember what it is. I'll have to remember it.

Okay, so while you're in selection, I will burst through the door dressed as a giant panda and kidnap you. Yes. I don't have much beyond that for the plan right now. I think it worked perfectly. I think they'll be like, you know what?

Whatever he's going through, he doesn't need to be here right now.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Thank you guys for being here for three and a half hours. Oh, boy. We will be back. I mean, I'll be streaming again on Friday. We will be back next Monday. And this Friday, I am very excited for you guys to get the Giants of Patagonia video because I read the primary sources. I went back and I read a work by Antonio Pigefetta as well as Sir Francis Drake. So that's going to be a fun one.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Why would that be so weird? So Bart Schleyer was an American. He was a wilderness expert. He had a master's degree in wilderness conservation. And he had worked in Yellowstone, tagging grizzly bears. He worked in Siberia, tagging Siberian tigers. This guy knew his stuff and he was looking for a challenge.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, there's some very dry humor in there.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
yeah it's going to be a good one I like that one alright oh also I have added scripts to Patreon not all of them but I've added several scripts to Patreon so I'm going to be working on that over the next few weeks hoping to get most of them from the last six months up basically since I started typing the scripts the way I type them now the other ones that were a little bit older they're going to need to be re-edited because they're all bullet points but
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
This guy who just like one time he went hunting grizzly bears on Kodiak for just just so he could. Now, granted, this was a conservation issue because they will overpopulate on Kodiak Island and then they will starve to death.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I believe so. Yes. Yep. They are routinely 10 feet tall and 800 pounds. They are massive. And he went bow hunting. He went bow hunting for Kodiak grizzly bears.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
In one case, he went into, they found a Siberian tiger den with a cub. And everyone was like, oh, this would be an awesome research opportunity. We could tag a cub and see what Siberian tiger movements are like when they're from the time they're infants. This is huge. The only problem being nobody wanted to risk their life going into the Siberian tiger den, even when the mother was not there.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Nobody except for Bart. who proceeded to go into a Siberian tiger den and tag a Siberian tiger cub. Now, to be clear, he wasn't like, you know, just sneaking up behind Siberian tigers and popping a clip on their ear and going, ha ha, I gotcha. They would tranquilize them first. But still, one of the most dangerous jobs you could possibly have. And he was an expert at it. He was him. He was him.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
So later on, he's like, I'm going to go. I think he was moose hunting up in Reed Lakes in the Yukon. Um, he took supplies for two weeks, set up his camp, and it looks like from what they found there after he disappeared, they it looks like he had maybe one meal that he didn't cook, hadn't started to fire.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
All of his supplies were still in their containers and everything, and his little raft was gone. The RCMP got there, looked around for an hour and went, oh, that's weird. He must have walked, you know, 20 some miles to the nearest settlement, which is a gas station on a river, which he probably didn't do. And if he did, why did he leave everything behind? What was the point?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And if he did, why did he not contact someone such as, you know, the float plane pilot? What's up? Like the float plane pilot who was supposed to come pick him up. Why did he not contact that guy? That's who realized he was missing. Got there and he's like, huh, Bart's not here. That's weird. I should call someone.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
So of course, Bart's friends have to actually show up and find his belongings and then go, hey guys, something happened here. Can you investigate? So the RCMP investigated and determined it was a bear or wolf attack, even though all of the conservation experts they talked to who were accustomed to looking at bear and wolf attacks and identifying them went, that wasn't a bear or wolf attack.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
How did we get here? Talking about Bart? Yeah, because you were like, give people the background on Bart.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
It's kind of like, you know, when a Native American woman disappears and you're like, oh, no, she we got a call and they said she's fine. Oh no, we did not follow up to make sure that she was in fact the caller. Also, somebody did point something out to me about the Amber Takaro case, which is in that video I've said something that plagues me to this day. What's that?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yes. So you look at it and it's like, okay, if this was a murder, nobody even knew he was dead for two weeks. and it was out in the middle of nowhere, how the hell are you going to track down whoever did this? So it's not a situation where you're looking at the RCMP going like, ah, well, you know, that was an unsolvable case. The issue is that they didn't bother to investigate it.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
They got there, spent an hour at the site, and were like, all right, well, the most likely thing possible is that he walked 20 miles through the forest without any of his gear. and then didn't say anything to anybody when he got there. So it wasn't like... Because here's the thing. It had been two weeks. If he had done that, he could have still been alive out there.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
They could have gone looking for him and rescued him. If he hasn't showed up, he's clearly stuck. Something's wrong. And they didn't bother looking. So, you know, it's it's not a not a race issue because he was white. It was American, you know. OK, all right. Well, he's American. So, you know, maybe that's that's it.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
They just don't care about if it's not if it's a foreigner or if it's a native, whatever. And then you look at Stephanie Stewart, who was Canadian, who was a government worker. who was well known to people in the nearby town and had like two ways in or out of where she lived, one of which was extensive back roads. And they I mean, if they did investigate, they made nothing about it public.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
In fact, they kept some of the evidence that it was murder out of anybody's awareness for like 10 years. There's these details that come up in later reports that are from RCMP press releases and press statements where they're like, oh yeah, we found a pot of simmering water on her stove and a splash of blood on the front step. And you're like, well, that wasn't in any of the contemporary reports.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Why did you not tell people that? Why are you not sharing these details? Why are you just letting us kind of pretend that that this is maybe she just wandered off like, no, that was definitely a homicide. Those two things tell you this is a homicide and a violent one at that. That's something that's important for locals to know. Why not tell them?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And I think it's I do wonder if part of it has to do with Canada having a squeaky clean image. as a place where everyone's friendly and nothing bad ever happens.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
That she called her brother in prison. Because to me, the only thing that made sense was that she had called her brother as she was being abducted. Because what are the chances that her brother calls her while she's being abducted? Pretty low. Pretty low. And somebody pointed out that she may have called into the prison to leave a message for him.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I think we've said it so many times at this point. I understand that police have this belief that the public can't help. It can only harm them. It's not really the case. There have now been a few different cases out there that have been moved along by social media. One recently that just got a Netflix series. Yeah. Gabby Petito.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And I think this is a good time to mention, a lot of you are probably expecting that we're going to do another video on Gabby Petito. And we were actually going to do another video on Gabby Petito. But I had a conversation with her mother last week, basically saying, hey, you know, I was going to watch the documentary. Might have asked some questions. We just got talking.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I was like, we were, you know, she had mentioned how the documentary was mostly focused on domestic violence and Gabby and all of that. And it didn't really go deeply into the perpetrators. Uh, and that, and she said that she thinks that documentary should be made. And I said, well, if we were to make it, would you be willing to, you know, answer some questions, contribute a little bit.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And she seemed hesitant. And I asked a few further questions and I was like, would you prefer we just don't touch it? You know, do you want to just, do you just want some space to grieve? And she said, yes. So, uh, out of respect for, for the family, um, we're going to hold off on doing anything on Gabby for a while. If, uh, down the line, her family is okay with us doing that.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
We're going to do so. Obviously, we'd love to help get some justice here because whether or not Brian Laundrie is alive, Roberta Laundrie needs to go to prison. I mean, that's just... Writing her son a letter basically saying, kill your girlfriend, I'll help you bury the body, that's unforgivable, especially now that this girl is dead. So...
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I mean, I the fact that she somehow escapes all of this unscathed is a horrible miscarriage of justice. But as much as I would love to dive into it, I am going to respect the family's wishes and not do that because. Very simply put, it's it's the right thing to do. You shouldn't you shouldn't dig stuff up against the express wishes of somebody's family.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Now, we will continue to year after year present the world's scummiest lawyer award to Stephen Bertolino. He will continue getting that. He might he might co-receive it with some of the Ramsey lawyers. But I think he is going to continue to receive that award in perpetuity.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And when he dies, I do, in fact, plan to take out an ad in the local paper to where he lived and present it to him post... What's the term again?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Posthumously, yeah. So that, you know, it's forever memorialized. Because, oh my God, what a bad person you have to be to defend that family. Speaking of defending bad people, by the way, utterly hilarious that Osama bin Laden's lawyer... has said he can't defend P. Diddy.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
First of all, the fact that you had to go get Osama bin Laden's lawyer in the first place is really funny. The fact that Osama bin Laden, the guy who defended 9-11, will not defend the freak-off. That's pretty nuts. How bad does the situation have to be
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Which makes a lot more sense than her brother accidentally calling her as she's being kidnapped or her somehow calling her brother in prison when that's not a thing you can do.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I just I'm kind of excited for the conclusion of that whole saga. Because that documentary is going to be great. Oh, my God. I'm excited for the 50 cent one.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
If that's a real rumor, I am so ready.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
That's kind of making it a self-defense thing, isn't it?
The Lore Lads

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Thornberry has been called for jury duty and that that makes my life hard. So if you'd like to express your displeasure, I don't know, just just tweet general anti-government things and then put like Aiden Thornberry as the signature.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, that's kind of what I was going for. I guess I maybe used the wrong terminology on it, but I thought based on the way it was described in most of the stuff I read that she had a conversation with her brother and it was recorded. Now that I think about it, it makes a lot more sense that she left a message for him because you don't hear him on the other line at all.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, he is dead now. Yeah. For those who might be on the younger side, and I realize the irony of us saying this, given this all happened before we were born. Yeah. But for those who may be on the younger side, this would kind of be like if... Who's a good, you know, recently out of the NFL running back? Le'Veon Bell. Let's be like if Le'Veon Bell murdered his wife and then got away with it.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
That's why I was going with somebody who's like out of the NFL now.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah. Also, the fact that there was a O.J. Simpson chase reference in, I think, Shrek three. is utterly insane. Yeah. When he becomes a human and Donkey becomes a white stallion and they're like, you know, he's being chased on a white Bronco or something. There's a bunch of knights behind him.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
The Shrek series really deserves a place in some kind of Hall of Fame. Although not whatever the hell that new thing that they're putting out is. Have you seen it?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I haven't seen a trailer or anything like that. If the people making that were to go missing, I hope the RCMP is after them. Because they will never be found.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I haven't seen anything else. Literally nothing else. You didn't need to change anything. The 2001 movie holds up. They Pixar-ified them. Yeah, you don't need to do that. Like, don't... Give me back Shrek. Give me back original Shrek. We gotta do to them what we did with Sonic. Like, no. You don't get to... No. That character does not belong to you. That character belongs to us.

We walked out of my graduation to All-Star by Smash Mouth. Shrek belongs to me. Realistically, Shrek belongs most to the graduating class of Conestoga High School 2016.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Well, because they also did a cover of a Monkees song for that movie. Yeah, I'm a believer. Crazy how Smash Mouth just had two hits and then disappeared. They had a few more, just nobody remembers any of the stuff that wasn't Shrek related. Oh, dude. Their whole album. Walking on the Sun. Yeah. Was a good song.
The Lore Lads

Great. Watch it not be. Great album. I know. It is now. The early 2000s were such a good period for entertainment.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
But, you know, I thought what we'd talk about tonight, because I didn't really know what particularly to talk about tonight. I thought we'd talk about Canada. Because I love Canadians. I've met a number of them in my life. They are generally fun people. They are very, very similar to most Americans that I know. Just a little bit further north, and they sound kind of funny sometimes.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I will say it's getting to me lately, going back and watching early Supernatural, early Criminal Minds, early House. And the shows are starting to show their age. Oh, yeah. No, you want to know? I rewatch those shows like once a year. Yeah. Usually just while I'm playing video games, just got it up on the side or whatever. And it's, it's this, this is the first time.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And I think it's because it's about 20 years now. This is the first time I've sat there and watched house and been like, oh, oh, that's this. Like it's, it's more than just the, the tube monitors and the flip phones. It looks old. I will say the, the first season I'm on season three, right? So am I. Yeah. Oh, weird. I don't think it looks that old.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
It's not like it looks, it's not like watching a sixties movie, but it's not like watching something that came out this year. Right, yeah, because it's clearly in a studio. Yeah, there's more filters, it's fuzzier. I mean, House isn't quite as bad, but there's a lot more set camera angles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not as modern.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
If you sit down to watch, I'm trying to think of a good comparison, I guess, you know, like, I hate to say this, but like Chicago EMS or whatever it is, one of those shows, like 9-1-1. Like, those shows look worse, but House looks old.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, just the more absurd you can make his alleged statement, the better. I once heard this man say that the government would be better if it were run entirely by left-handed goblins, because at least that way, you'd know that they were intentionally shortchanging you on everything.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And back when they used to have one or two characters change their haircut every season so you knew which season it was. Exactly. That was a thing that happened.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
You're fine, no. Also the fact that that hospital set is basically just one figure eight. And that every time you see them walking around, they're literally just making the same four turns every time. Yep. Hilarious. Anyway, we were talking about Canada. We were. We were. This is what you get when there's ADD on the show. I didn't take my meds today. I should have done that.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Should have remembered. Probably would have gotten more done, but I also had to go to the eye doctor. It happens. How'd that go? I am the candidate for LASIK. I'm just terrified of dry eyes.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah. Um, apparently it's very rare, especially with people our age. Like, it's apparently more of a risk as you age. That makes sense. And men in their 20s are not commonly those people. Also, uh, what one of the, what not one of the doctors, one of the staff said was, uh,
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
But they're law enforcement. I am astonished. I mean, I want to for the Americans in the room, for those specifically who recall our story on Todd Guy, who was in Michigan and the Michigan State Police were like, oh, yeah, he just got drunk and fell in the lake. that's all that happened. No, no, nevermind that.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I'd say, yeah, I mean, probably, you know, there's a lot of those people are probably going to doctors who aren't as well regarded and experienced. And the person told me, yeah, if there's a Groupon for your surgery, you probably shouldn't take it. I was like, you know what?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Oh no. And James Spader. Oh no. Oh yeah. Oh yes. Oh yes. I might have to watch this show now.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Oh, yeah, I'm sure. You couldn't make House today. You couldn't make The Good Doctor today. And I'm pretty sure they're still making The Good Doctor.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I am a surgeon. I'm like, dude, that is not how autistic people are. No, autistic people are like House. That was, yeah. And early in season three, there's an episode where they're implying House has Asperger's. And then Wilson's like, you're not autistic. And I'm sitting there, I'm like, no, he's 100% autistic. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Meanwhile, it's like, no, he's autistic. That man is on the spectrum. Also... Like, little tangent, I understand why we're not keen on the term Asperger's anymore. We're not? No, because Asperger was a Nazi. But at the same time... I feel like that was a meaningful distinction.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah. Because, like, you say, oh, he has autism. That could mean so very many things. You say, oh, he has Asperger's. Somebody knows exactly what you mean.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
So, I mean, maybe we could just replace the term, I feel like, with something else. Maybe something cool.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, ALS. Well, we can't call autism Lou Gehrig's disease. That one's taken.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yes. What if we call it Gehrig Lou's disease? I don't think that's a good plan. Gotta come up with something cool for it. I say we poll the autistic community. Let them pick a name. You know what? It's their right. It is their right. What do they want to be called? I don't know. I'm We're not on it. Well, I don't know about you, Mr. Trains.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, no, I'm probably... Trains, planes, and automobiles over here. I like machines. I know, I know. And I like ripping on the Canadian government.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Dude, if there was a train through Nahanni, though, that would be so sick. Have you seen pictures of the place? Oh, I have. You have. You edited the video. Oh, my God, it's gorgeous. Yeah. But that one specifically, of all the stories we've talked about with Canada, I feel like we always keep coming back to that one because it is just so odd. Like, there's so much that goes into it.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
It still bothers me that there's a cave, like, 2,000 feet up on a rock face that is full of dull sheep skeletons. Like, we're the... Are you going to tell me that hundreds of doll sheep were like, you know what? It's my time. I'm going to the death cave. No, absolutely not.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
There's no way he got from point A to point B without getting himself all scratched up by thorn bushes. And you know that he had zero competent composition, despite the fact decomposition, despite the fact that if he had gone into the lake that day, uh, that they supposed he did, he would have been decomposing for three weeks in warm water. I, uh,
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Also, I think it's very interesting that they're not allowing any exploration of most of these caves. I understand why to an extent from an archaeological perspective and just a safety perspective. But at this point, obviously you can't pilot a wireless drone into a cave system. You could pilot a wired drone into a cave system. And they won't do that.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Maybe it's a funding issue, maybe it's an interest issue, but I... I think it's... I wonder what else could be up there. You know, if you've got hundreds and hundreds of sheep skeletons. Someone put those there.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Seems like people, which when you consider that there are all of these native legends about a disappearing tribe in the area... Which definitely disappeared for a different reason than the Anjikuni one. And here's the thing. There were multiple disappearing villages that we've covered. We've covered Portlock. We've covered the Naha. We've covered Anjikuni.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
All of them vanished for different reasons. Portlock is still a really interesting one. Just do a quick tangent on that. Because with the Portlock, Alaska story...
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
kind of the general consensus has been oh they left for economic reasons and all of those bigfoot stories were just made up so people would stop asking about it but that comes from one woman in like the early 2000s who gave a statement to the press but then there's accounts going back longer from other sources about that village before she started telling these stories to anybody
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
There are people who talk back in the 70s. They're recording things. And they all say that there was something out there. And I'm not saying that it was Bigfoot. Just I think that the Portlock story has kind of been written off a little too easily as, oh, it was just, you know, there was no economic opportunity in the towns they left. There's too many weird stories for it to just be that.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, Centralia, dude. They had to force them to leave. Yeah. There's also another one in Pennsylvania that I wanted to go take a tour of, Yellow Something. It's like...
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yellow Springs, maybe? It's one of the two abandoned towns. Like, known abandoned towns in Pennsylvania. Where it was just economic stuff. People just up and left, but it looks creepy as hell. Because it was abandoned in the 80s. Like, it started in, I think, the 50s. But the last people left in the 80s and they left furniture behind and things like that. So it's like it looks too recent.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And Michigan State actually had a professor who went out and did an experiment that proved this, that if you were to put him in a they used a very similar lake. If you have a body in that lake that long in that weather, it will decompose almost completely. And the Michigan State police were like, this seems hard.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
It's very eerie because of how recent everything looks.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Oh, yeah. Also, the thing I realized in the car while I was listening to Simple Plan's first album the other day. That album came out in 2001. It is as old to us now. as 80s music was when that album came out. In fact, it's as old now as music that came out in 1976 was. Feel old yet? When we're old, you know, like 70-ish, Queen will be 100 years old.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, that'll mess with your head, won't it?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Oh, yeah, definitely. I wonder why that is. I think partially just availability and quality of the recording. Partially, but I think to some extent, I think the...
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
variability too yeah there's an there's a level of relatability and honesty within media and art that has been on like a weirdly exponential increase and you know who we should have we should sit down and do an episode with about that luke eckles from off the record another lore lodge production well actually a redacted media production uh if you haven't checked out off the record the first episode features me
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
So go check it out. But that would be a good episode for his show, too. Yeah, it would. Just sit down and talk about why music from the 70s is so much easier to listen to than music from the 40s. Because there is still stuff from the 40s, but it's like, how many names can you remember compared to how many names you can remember from the 70s?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And most of the music... Sinatra, Martin, Frankie Valli.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah. You didn't really get a lot of negative... Protest music wasn't a thing. Yeah. Punk wasn't a thing.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
r&b wasn't a thing rap wasn't a thing there's just more music now yeah no more kinds of music the closest you had to rap r&b and stuff like that was the blues which was the godfather of the vast majority of music basically all american music yeah yeah shout out blues what a what a genre
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I love it. But, yeah, going back to the stuff with Canada and with disappearing villages, Nahanni, I feel like Nahanni just wraps everything up in a bow. You have disappearing tribe. Native Americans telling stories of pale-faced demons wandering about in the night. You have miners that go missing, prospectors dying. The RCMP failing to actually properly investigate any of it and going, hmm, yeah.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I'm going to say he drowned on accident because this is the Midwest and alcoholism is a thing. Now, of course, as we can all say just by looking at it, Todd Guy did not go into that lake the day they said he did. Now, I want to point out that in this case, what I said is, hey, this is the kind of thing that if the state police aren't handling it, you should call the FBI.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Well, uh... He died reaching for a rifle, so... Probably was just hungry. Um... It is one of the strangest places I think I've ever looked into. And I also, I was thinking, you know, like there's all these stories about like there being tropical valleys up there. And I used to think, oh, that's ridiculous. You know, that far north in Canada, tropical valley. Then I got to thinking about it.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And when we were up in Alaska, we were 1500 feet up on a mountain and In Alaska. And there were ferns everywhere. And streams. It was cold. It was August. But it looked very lush. And you can see how somebody who spent their entire life...
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
in parts of Canada that don't look like that might come across an area that has ferns growing and streams and flowers and is warmer by comparison and going, oh, this is a weird tropical valley. And then other people get up there at different times of the year and they're like, no, it isn't. There's nothing here because they're just there at the wrong time. So you get this sort of story of a...
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
ethereal place that only some people have seen that other people think doesn't even exist, and it could just be changing seasons. I mean... One of the other things that I thought was really interesting is in 1947, I never really got to this part in the video we did on Nahai most recently, but...
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
In 1947, they sent some RCMP people out there and they were like, oh, yeah, there's no tropical valley. There's no weird stuff going on. What are you talking about? There's nothing here, which leads me to believe that there is, in fact, something there because I will eat my hat the day the RCMP says something completely honest.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
But what I what I've gotten more and more interested in with that story, the one thing that we haven't really gotten a chance to cover in depth is the disappearing village. Because at first you hear it described, there's a lot of people who are like, oh, well, you know, they got there and the fires were still going and there were skins hanging out to dry.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And it looks like the people had just left. You go and you look at the actual accounts and it's like, you know, they got together a war party when they got there. Nobody was there. And it seemed like they had been gone a little while. And then you look at stories like the Navajo who show up. out of nowhere in the American Southwest sometime between 13 and 1400.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And I just wonder, does that do those two stories connect? And how much of this is storytelling? How much of this is memory? Um, And what else what else are we missing? You know, I think with the Native Americans, the First Nations, people of Canada, even down to the Aztecs and the Mayans. We have spent such a long time teaching people what happened after we got here.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And I think a lot of time has been spent on apologizing for what happened after we got here. And in many cases, that's fair. There were a lot of conflicts that we started. There were a lot of conflicts they started. There were a lot of conflicts they had with each other that we joined in on, and a lot of conflicts we had with each other that they joined in on.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
It is an incredibly complicated period of history where a ton of different stuff was going on. And nobody's been asking the question, well, what happened right before that? And if you look at Canada... I think the question is broader. I think the question is, what the hell happened a long time before that? Because the Inuit come in, I think it was around 4000 BC. If I'm not mistaken.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Might have been 4000 years ago. Might just be mixing this up. But the Inuit come in. And they are the last group to arrive. The DinΓ© are there. The Algonquian are there. And when you look at the stories they have... There are a lot of weird similarities between things like the Wachugay and the Wendigo. There are some legends they have about times even before that.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
There are stories of giant cannibals from the DinΓ©, the Algonquian, and then also the Paiute, who are just south of those groups. And then they have certain mythologies that line up with one another and certain mythologies which don't. So we know that these groups are all from different times, periods and places.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Because in the United States of America... The FBI is typically better at its job than a state police agency is. They have more resources. They have more weight to throw around. We know that the Colorado state agencies, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, wanted the FBI involved during the Ramsey case.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And it's hard in European history because we all come from one specific linguistic stock. which is the Proto-Indo-European, which, of course, comes out of the Eurasian steppe thousands of years ago and then migrates west towards Europe and then southeast towards India. That's where you get Hindi, you get Sanskrit, several of the Iranian languages.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And then out west, that's where Germanic and Celtic, well, Celtic, actually, there's a weird discussion going on, but Germanic and Italic and Greek and these different languages, those all come in and those are Indo-European as well. So Europeans, you know, we look at things almost more on a national level. Like, okay, I'm Germanic. Okay, I'm British. Okay, I'm Celtic.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
You can't do the same thing with North Americans. It's... The DinΓ© are the Indo-Europeans. And the Algonquians are the Semitics. And the Paiutes are... Or the Ute are the... God, what's another like the Afro Asiatic? You know, just these are primary linguistic families, which suggests they all arrived at different times. And that they these were not all originally the same people.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And then you get these stories from them that show that they had these shared experiences. And in a lot of cases, those shared experiences are supernatural, which I think is just the most fascinating thing. And it happens particularly frequently in Canada. You don't see it as much once you get into United States territory.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Of course, back then, the divisions weren't quite the same, but there seemed to be a lot more differences in the stories between the Cherokee and the Maidu, for example, than there are between the Algonquians and the DinΓ©. Something up there in Canada...
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
be it the weather be it uh the the resources available something led these people to develop stories independently of one another that are very similar and i don't understand why we're not focusing on those things and going what was happening here especially and you know obviously for the vast majority of the world this is a completely irrelevant topic but as a historian
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I want to know what's there. And this is what bugs me about archaeologists a lot of the time is that you go, as a historian, you're like, hey, these two things are weird. I think there might be a link there. And the archaeologists go, well, what is it? And we're like, I don't know, dude. Find it. Like, I don't have documents. These people didn't write things down.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
They told a bunch of stories and they have artifacts. That's on you. Go do it. And they're like, well, I mean, what are we looking for? On the one hand, I get it. If I'm like, hey, something weird happened in Canada a while ago. Find it. That's not helpful.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And the Ramsey's lawyers kept blocking it and doing everything in their power to make sure that this, you know, stayed under their control. And then only for John Ramsey to complain years later that, you You know, the FBI wasn't involved. My point in saying this is that in the United States, if your state agency can't handle something, you call a federal one.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
But at the same time, if I'm able to pin it down to go, hey, this tribe here and this tribe here and this tribe here and this tribe here all have these stories that interlock with one another. Maybe I'd see what that's about. And you just get like called a conspiracy theorist. So I don't know.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I find I am very curious, I think, in the same way that I think something happened in the continental US to cause the downfall of the Mississippians. There is something back there with the Canadian tribes that ties into cannibalism that is present in a way it is not present. Down here. I mean, we you don't even get a ton of Wendigo stories from the Carolina Algonquians.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Like, I don't think I've come across a single Wendigo story from them. Northeast, you get some of them. But then up in Canada, it's a big deal. You know, the southern Canadian tribes don't really talk a ton about the Wachuga. And then as you get further north, suddenly it's a really big deal. And then, of course, they tie in also with some European themes, which leads to other questions.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I don't know. It's and I mean, God, and the way everything interlocks, like if you look at the story of Selkies, we covered this a while ago on the Harry Potter video. Selkies as a story are not mermaids. They have no connection to the Mediterranean mermaid stuff.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Instead, you can basically trace it back to the 1600s and the Shetlands, and you kind of drill down through the mysterious stuff about it, and you get to, oh, wait a second. Seal skin on the beach. Woman on the beach. Seal skin that is taken and hidden from the woman. Woman lives there, finds the seal skin, and leaves. Boat. sealskin boat.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And then you do a little bit more digging and you find that, oh, there were sightings of Inuit fishermen and fisherwomen near the Shetlands back in the 1600s from Greenland. And this turned into a European folk tale. Meanwhile, over in Greenland, they have the story of the Adlets, who are described as half-dog people. Now, what are they?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
They they come from a union of a woman and a dog because she didn't want to marry a man because she didn't want to submit to her father's wishes. I don't remember the full details of the story, but basically half of the she has a litter of she has some human babies and some dog babies.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And later, the dog babies goes off east and they come back as Europeans, which is probably not the Vikings, because the Inuit who told the story weren't in Greenland yet. It's probably the Danes coming back in the 1700s. But you look at what the Adlits are. Those are the ones that went west. Those are the human-ish ones.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
In Canada, the provincial agencies are the only ones who seem to be capable of doing anything. Because we've seen now, I think, two separate cases where the Ontario Provincial Police figured out something or the Alberta Provincial Police figured out something that the RCMP simply could not figure out.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
They went west to North America, and they're described as having furry legs, but having the upper body of people. And we know that a lot of Vikings would wear trousers that were made out of furs for warmth. Which makes you wonder... Those people that went west with the hairy legs, who were they?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And then you get stories of things like the Prophecy of the Seven Fires, where allegedly a thousand years ago, a light-skinned race shows up in Abenaki territory, which is, you know, Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland. We know the Vikings landed at Newfoundland. And they have a story about a light-skinned race showing up to the east and causing a migration.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I think there is so much hidden in Canadian folktales that might tell us where to look for early interactions between the east and west. And we're just kind of looking at them as silly little folktales and pretending that they don't matter. And it's like, oh, that's fun. They believe that. I think we might be missing an absolute goldmine of information.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I will say, part of the reason I say that and that I'm like, it's not about me finding it out, it's about it being found out in the first place. Hey, Oak Island guys, stop.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Oak Island is up there, Nova Scotia area, and there's a weird hole. To give you the gist of it, there's a weird hole And there's booby traps in the hole. Yeah. Hole goes way down there. And they think there's something in the hole. Unfortunately, a private group of people who had connections to the television industry got a hold of this land before any sort of archaeological group could.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And they have spent the last 10 years making like 12 seasons of a show about the mystery of because they just keep milking it. And nobody can find out what's in the hole because they keep milking the hole. You know what might be in the hole, Aiden? Templar shit. Among other things. Among other things, to be sure. But there are stories from the 1200... Yeah, not really the 1200s.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
The 1300s about Templars escaping persecution to the West. Because everybody seems... There's this unfortunate... Everybody finds out about Leif Erikson when they're like 11. Happy Leif Erikson Day. Yeah, I found out about it younger because of that. But everybody finds out that, oh, it wasn't actually Columbus first. It was this Viking guy. And it's not really properly explained that...
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
See, here's the thing... I used to be like, okay, maybe it's racism. Maybe it's just that they look around at the... The demographics and they say, oh, well, I don't really want to bother if it's just First Nations people. They're all alcoholics who live out in the sticks practicing their woo woo. This is not my opinion. This is what I perceive the Royal Canadian Mounted Police see.

The Europeans knew about that. That wasn't something we lost. They knew about this. Like, it probably would have been common knowledge for the average peasant farming in East Anglia. But if you were at the court of King Henry II, you probably knew about it. If you were at the court of King William I, you probably knew about it. These stories were getting passed around.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
They were aware that there was some weird land to the west that Greenlanders got to. They were just like, that's really far away, and the Greenlanders didn't find anything worth seeing there, so what's the point? I also think it's very weird, personally, that the Vinland colony didn't succeed.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
When you look at how long it actually takes to get there from Greenland, and what they were describing there, it doesn't make sense that people stayed in Greenland. They should have gone west. Why didn't they?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
They knew it wasn't at that point. Really? The stories coming out of Vinland were... There are trees. There are berries. There is wildlife. This place is beautiful. But they were all stories of conflict with the natives. Hmm. Thing is... This was 1000 AD. This was... still within the peak of the Viking age, it's weird that they didn't try harder.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And I wonder why, but at the same time you get, you know, these legends later on about, Oh, well there's a land of the West. Also the Irish had this thing they called high Brazil. Uh,
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
supposedly an island off the coast the western coast of ireland that appears and disappears randomly um but you wonder and you also get like the voyage of bran and the voyage of saint brendan and these stories about going out and finding lands to the west these come from like before the vinland expedition europeans knew there was land of the west for a long time when the when the first vikings got to iceland they found irish monks there oh yeah really yeah
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
So, I mean, they left pretty quick. They did not want to be there with the Vikings. But we knew there were lands to the west for a long time. The natives have stories about us coming from the east for a long time. And we've just kind of ignored this. for lack of a better term.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And what I wonder, because what makes more sense to me is that they got to Vinland and were like, oh, this would be an awesome staging ground. And then they went west and never came back. Not saying that they formed a civilization, not saying that they became some light-skinned race of Native Americans. They could have all died. But I do wonder, you know, are we missing something?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Are we looking in the wrong places? What was there before we were?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, I've been trying, but unfortunately, we have so very little time.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I'm still one day, one day when I have some real time, I want to look into the Native American Dark Age hypothesis that I've been brewing. Because I really think that there is something there. Just
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
an entire civilization than the course of a hundred years collapsed you're talking about the mississippians yeah yeah because they i mean and part of the issue is we look at it and we i think we tend to look at it as being more primitive than it probably was well that's that's the major issue with looking into it is because most people dismiss it as being primitive when in fact all of the information that at least i've heard from you points to the exact opposite yeah no it
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
It wasn't as large as the Aztec civilization in Mesoamerica, but it spanned the entire Mississippi River.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I mean, the DeSoto expedition describes... Things that the I mean, the later ones did not. They're they're talking about coming across a level of civilizational organization that does not reappear. And they're at the tail end of it. Something happened.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
We know some from the De Soto expedition. There's also been archaeological evidence. There's some oral evidence, which is another one of the really interesting things is you get really far east and they don't seem to have even known that was a thing.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
As we know, I am very familiar with the quote unquote woo woo. And I find it very interesting. You you. I love the woo-woo.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Like the Abenaki. There's no stories about some great kingdom of the west. We know there was a great kingdom along the Mississippi. Great kingdom being used in a rather broad terminology sense. But we know there was a great civilization on the Mississippi. And it's not mentioned by the Abenaki in the east. It's not mentioned by the Salish in the west. How east were the Abenaki? Like, where we are.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Okay. Actually, further northeast. Maine. Maine and New Brunswick. Nova Scotia. Got it. So... We don't hear stories about it this far east. We don't hear stories about it on the Pacific coast. And yet it's only 500 years. Probably about the 1540s. Which I will say, I... I've got the bug for that now. Because the Giants of Patagonia one that's coming out next week.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
It's such a weird time in history. Because if you ask... Most, I won't say most, but a lot of historians, particularly of the medieval period, if you ask them when is the medieval period, you're generally going to get two answers. One is from the fall of Rome to the fall of Rome. So 476 to 1453. But the fall of Constantinople didn't have much of an effect on the West.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
So the Middle Ages in the East is the fall of Rome to the fall of Rome. In the West, it's more like the fall of Rome to the Battle of Bosworth Field.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I think 15... I want to say 1538-ish. Mid-1530s. Mid-1500s. The Renaissance, meanwhile, in Italy is in the 1300s. It starts. So the Renaissance is not a historical period. It's an artistic period, which is probably something that will get me some flack from some historians. But I'm going to stand by it. The Renaissance period was not. It was medieval. Everything they were doing was medieval.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And then the 1500s thing starts to change. But yeah, the beginning of the early modern period is the late 1500s. So, Ferdinand Magellan circumnavigated the globe during the Middle Ages. 16 years before the acts of unification that combined England and Wales into one country. The Scots colonized North America at the end of the Middle Ages. The Columbus Expedition... was firmly in the Middle Ages.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Dude, I love the woo-woo. I love our woo-woo. I love their woo-woo. I don't care whose woo-woo it is. It's interesting. So, yeah, no, I think, you know, but I think that there is a contingent that probably sees a lot of Native American communities up there as backwards or adversarial and don't realize that maybe some of the distrust comes from their own treatment of these peoples over the years.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
So this concept of history, that the Age of Exploration was early modern, I'm realizing more and more as I read stuff, I'm like, no, it wasn't. The Age of Exploration started in the medieval period.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, which I don't think you can. I don't think you can redefine it out of the 1500s. For what reason? There's just too much that is quintessentially medieval about it. Like during the Wars of the Roses, that was knights in armor fighting, fighting each other on horseback, longbows, pikes. And I mean, we're looking at feudal nobility. It's medieval. It's also just before Shakespeare.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
So when you look at the majority of Americans of Europeans being introduced to the Americas, it's all during the medieval period. And they they behave that way when you look at the stories. And then you also like, for example, the Drake expedition is something we're going to get into in the video. But Francis Drake, when he landed in Patagonia.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
You know what weapons they were using side by side in 1578? Well, I know. You know. This crew landed, and the two ranged weapons they carried in 1578 were a Welsh longbow and a shotgun.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
A Welsh longbow and a shotgun, and then the longbow, the string broke, the shotgun, the powder failed, so what do they fight with? Swords and shields.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
and and the giants had weapons of their own bows not good not as good probably more like a short bow yeah oh well they talk about it like the longbow doubled the range yeah which is not surprising longbow doubled the range of european continental bows now shout out to my boys over in wales oh england dower and such
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
We should get the Welsh flag back up. Probably in the studio for, yeah. The studio upstairs is going to have a full authentic set of medieval kit, by the way. Like, when you see History Unhinged next, not the next episode you'll see, but the ones after that, there will be a full suit of 13th century mail and gambeson, sword, all of that hanging out up there, which I'm very excited about.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
It was so expensive, guys. I hurt my knee running around in it, but totally worth it.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Honestly, it would be a good way for us to talk about medieval stuff.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, we should do that. I mean, I should tell Steven to bring his kit too.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
we will let you know yeah i think it would only get more frequent exactly if anything so yeah that's a fun show we i've i've been watching our episodes i don't watch this show i don't watch the friday videos because i've already done them yeah i've been watching history unhinged and it's we we titled that show perfectly oh yeah it's so good oh my god perfectly i i I'm trying to think.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Which, again, how do you not notice that? How do you have all these stories that I. God, what was his name? Jack Fiddler. Up in, I want to say it was Manitoba. Might have been further east. But story was that, you know, this guy Jack Fiddler, he was a Wendigo killer up in Canada. Up in like the far, far north. About as far north as the Algonquian groups go. And...
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
There was something that was said in the most recent one.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, and then I... Oh, yeah, when I said... Diddy is the Socrates of our time, I believe was the quote. Yes. I looked at Amanda when I saw it. I was like, oh, that's the one that gets us canceled. That right there. That was some Socrates slander right there, honestly.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Somebody did recently comment on something asking what I was going to blame on Mark's next. And I said, give me something. I will find a way to blame anything on Karl Marx simply for the lulz.

New series, was it woke? The problem is it would get millions of views. It probably would. Who would be a good person to look at for it? Emperor Nero, was he woke?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Boudica, was she woke? Cleopatra woke. Cleopatra was... She was woke in a different sense.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Oh, yeah. Major girl boss. Yeah. You might have a point there. I... Yeah, I don't know. Achilles... Woke or based? Was he woke? This is going to be something we have to ask Steven. Yeah, I was going to say this is coming up. This is something we just ambushed Steven with. Yeah. Achilles, was he woke? Go.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Oh, yeah, definitely. That'll be great. Amazing. I'm excited to film these. I have fun with these. They're good. We should probably go to Super Chats.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Good. The last few videos have not done well, so we need the money.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
February was not a good time. YouTube did not like the Philadelphia Experiment video.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
It's like, I appreciate it, but tell me, like, and some people will be like, just make videos on what you want to make, and it's like, don't, believe me, I would love to. Yes. But we must serve.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
So... We... The show must go on. One day will be Wendigoon. That day is not now. No. That is not today. So yeah, it's, you know... We've been trying to vary the content more. It doesn't seem like the algorithm likes that.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
In his tribe, in his community, they believed that if somebody got to the point where they were going to become a Wendigo for whatever reason, the best thing you could do is euthanize that person. And this was usually requested by the person who thought they were turning into a Wendigo, which was usually that person starving.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
But then the videos that are on true crime and missing persons do better.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And I think you're right. I think we have four audiences. We are, this is four channels in a trench coat. Yeah. Um, that's the problem.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I think it would be like, maybe a good poll would be like, if this channel could cover one topic, what would it be? And then give people like a few different options. That's the thing is like... Because it seems like there's just such a mix at this point.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I think the problem we're running into is that we have the diehard audience that watches everything we do, and we love you guys so much. But YouTube prefers, I think, the true crime stuff. Yeah. Algorithmically. Yeah. So I need to find a way to do what we used to do more frequently, which is trick YouTube. I need to get better at tricking YouTube.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And it's ironic that they eventually convicted this guy for murder now that the Canadian government, in fact, does kill people. for being sad. Um, I know I'm simplifying it, but you get the point. The irony here is that they were like, ah, well, you can't euthanize people who are terminally ill. That's murder.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I think we need to pull people in with the real life mystery and then insert the lore into it.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And by clickbait, we don't mean that the video would not be about what the video is about. It's just the title might be a bit more silly.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I will I will say this and I would love some feedback on it. This is just honesty. I'd love some feedback on how the narrative element of the pieces is going, because I have been trying.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
to make them more narrative the way they used to be i think after a certain somebody got all you know mad at us for not having meticulously sourced every single thing as if it was an academic journal i may have overcorrected uh because i now write all of our scripts in chicago style
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
What I'm trying to do narratively is make the first chapter of each video a story. And then the later chapters can be a bit more like...
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
academic you know here's how this works uh so that there's kind of a draw draw you in and then explain each element of it and what seems like it's real what seems like it isn't um because it seems like that's what people like the best but i don't know you know maybe we'll see uh anyway super chats yep there are many and i would like to go home at some point as would i um
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I appreciate you guys are here for that. One day we will have the freedom to just ask you guys, what do you want us to cover this week and do it?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And now Canada euthanizes people who are terminally ill because that's cheaper than actually treating them. Not even terminally. Yeah. Sometimes just chronically Canada, you scary. Um, I mean, granted, I think it was the Dutch that started that, but you don't have to copy the Dutch Canada.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I'm going to be honest, if he wanted us for it, I feel like he would have asked. Yeah, more than likely. You know, we're going to have him on Thursday for Weird Bible, so.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, well, it was going to be last Thursday, but he was running on zero hours of sleep, and I had not yet had time to read the Book of Elijah. So I was hoping he was going to lead, and then he was like, I might need you to take point on this one. And I was like, ooh, I needed you to take point on this one.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
So I'm reading the Book of Elijah this week, and then we should be able to have a very good conversation about it on Thursday. So if Red Thread's looking for a new host, I obviously would... I would be honored to be asked to do that. At the same time, I know that we are small fish in a big pond, and we might not have the draw that they want.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And I have a tendency to get a little detail-oriented in a way that more entertainment-focused channels might not appreciate. And I'm not... That is not a dig at all. It's just I know I can be extremely academic about things. So...
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, but no, if that was something you guys wanted to suggest to him, go for it. I would be honored, but I'm also not going to invite myself into a space where I'm not specifically requested.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Agreed. No accountability. Agreed. Yep. There are certain ongoing cases where I think if the police were maybe a little bit more transparent, an entire section of the Internet could shut the hell up.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Also, I will be doing probably either a short or a TikTok or a video on my personal channel about this recent vigil for Sebastian Rogers, because a whole bunch of people are freaking out, claiming that Seth Rogers like summoned a demon during the vigil. And without even watching it, I can guarantee that didn't happen. They're like, oh, he invoked, you know, like, Samael, the angel of death.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Why did he do that? He summoned a demon. It's like, I'm almost positive that not a single one of you people knows what you're talking about. I also think they might be mixing up Samael and Semyaza.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
That's fair. Yeah, no, it's like, I'm sorry, but If there is one specific field where I will refuse to respect your opinion unless you have a degree, it's theology.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
At least for terminally ill patients, yeah. Terminally ill, I kind of get it. That's a choice I understand. It's kind of up to them at that point. Exactly. I think I would probably rather not spend my last days wasting away in a hospital bed knowing there was nothing I could do about it. Agony? Nothing. Hmm. Yeah. There's an argument to be made, but...
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Again, I went to college for this. And I was watching it going, what are you doing over there? What do you mean? What are you talking about, Samael? Like, what's going on? And that was me being like, am I remembering something wrong about this entity?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Exactly. You want him to think about it. You want to be like, what's that a dog whistle for? Fair enough. Like, you know, just... Fair enough. Yeah, I don't know. I told him to just walk in there and say that he thinks, you know, cops never get it wrong.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
we didn't talk about it yeah um so that's uh that's gonna be a fun one to look into but i can guarantee you guys uh seth rogers would not intentionally summoning a demon at his child's visual no good lord if anything it would be like yeah a magic the gathering reference like buddy i don't think cluminati knows what she's talking about on this topic or queen bee the multi-felon
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, multiple felony counts. Didn't know that. Uh-huh. Yeah, I'm sure, mister, I take pictures of barely clad models who are, you know, newly 18 while shirtless on a beach in California. I'm sure he knows what he's talking about when it comes to religion. That was Steve Fisher, by the way.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, I was going to just not bring him up, but he keeps trying to call me a pedo defender on Twitter because I said, can you provide evidence that Seth Rogers went after Katie when she was a minor? And that apparently makes me a pedophile sympathizer. I would argue that somebody who randomly accuses others of being pedophiles with no evidence might be projecting. Maybe just a little bit.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
And also that I... Steve, that's blatant defamation. So, I know you pretend you don't watch our show, but I know you watch our show. Anyway. God, this is an... I will never cover an ongoing missing persons case ever again. Far too many... I mean, again, meat freezer. These people's brains are meat freezers.
The Lore Lads

Gomb... Did I tell you I got locked out of my Twitter for a week? Because I told one of them to jump off a bridge? Which I will remind you... Is not a call for self-harm. I did not specify how high the bridge should be. And also he was spreading misinformation about a missing child.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah. I do think the bridge should have been the Golden Gate, but that wasn't the point.

It has been chilly in Pennsylvania.
The Lore Lads

I will tell you, one of the calendar images will be me doing a pose wearing just the surcoat. The what coat? The surcoat? My surcoat from War of the Barons? Oh, gotcha. Speaking of which, if you want to come do medieval stuff in the woods with me and Stephen Bell, War of the Barons is a yearly event where you can do that. You can fight with us. You can fight against us.

with Jack Fiddler's case, this guy is respected in his community. He is never accused of murder by his own people, but. Somebody who is not from the tribe comes along and is like, oh, well, up there, there's this guy who's a Wendigo killer. And the RCMP goes up and they ignore the tribe.

Every time I open the book, I'm like, I'm not ready for this right now. That's fair. Also, it bugs me that I've got to read the wrong way. It starts on the right side.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, mangas start on the right side. Oh, you mean of a page? Yeah, when you open the book, the beginning's over here.
The Lore Lads

No, no, like, you open the book, and the first page is over, like... Like, the book opens this way. And you read this way.

Did you see any of our stream? I did not utter chaos. Really? Oh, it was sons of the forest. Yeah. We all lost in a cave for most of the stream. That's phenomenal. Like it was, it was a lot of us yelling at flaw, uh, Who, Flaw of the God, you can go check out his channel. He streams with us a lot over on his end. We're trying to help him get to a little bit bigger of an audience.
The Lore Lads

But he kept... He was not... He somehow got himself stuck on the other side of the island and could not get to us because he kept dying. Oh, brutal. So Sean had to go get him. Yeah. We skyrimmed our way up a mountain. At which point everyone else realized that they had gliders on. I did not have a glider. I had to go find a glider. I almost froze to death several times.

They say, nope, we don't care that these are your customs and that you actually weren't even aware that you're under Canadian jurisdiction right now and that you were just going by your own laws because nobody ever told you that you didn't have to. We're going to take this guy and we're going to take him to court. And I think it was Manitoba. And we are going to sentence him to death.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah. I, I gave him several ideas for how to get out of it. One of which was just tell them you're racist. Um, like that, that seems like a valid way. Tell them you were there on January 6th. Yeah. Uh, let's see. What else could you, what else could you say?

Because they were like, ah, it was canceled for nonpayment. And they informed me of this two weeks after it was terminated. And they were like, your plan is going to be terminated. And I'm like, well, it clearly already was. Nobody told me about this, by the way. There was no phone call, no email. No, you have a notification in penny text.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I found out because I went to pick up a prescription and it wasn't covered. So I then sat on the phone with a woman who I very condescendingly explained to me that this was my fault only for me to call Independence Blue Cross and have them tell me that actually it was Penny's fault.

Fiddler actually ended up Jack actually ended up taking his own life before he could be murdered by the state.

And that's I think with the Vantage Village situation, if it is a true story, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. Another thing that was suggested is that it was forced relocation by the RCMP, which I'll be honest, I don't necessarily see what the point would have been.

One thing that I thought was very interesting was that in 1948, a group of people came across a cairn at Lake Anjikuni, where the vanished village was, and they were like, hmm, interesting. This is probably from the Franklin Expedition. Meanwhile, Joe LaBelle, if his story is true, I... He said he found a cairn there. Now, he said it was of Eskimo construction, so Inuit.
The Lore Lads

Well, but that's the thing is a lot more people were like, yo, I love going to a ditty party. Then we're like, I love going to little St. James. Yeah.

Also, I do think it's very funny that Jared Leto just keeps trying to start a cult, but failing, because it's entirely obvious that everybody's there because they want to sleep with him. Yeah. I feel like if you're going to start a cult, it has to be kind of just like you're trying to get people to sleep with you, and there's some effort involved.

Just going back, at the time, the term was Eskimo. That has fallen out of favor and is now considered derogatory. But in the historical context, that was the terminology being used. What they meant was Inuit. So he thought it was of Inuit construction. The people in 1948 thought it was of Anglo-Saxon construction, basically, from European Canadians.

He gets shot by James Moriarty. So... That said, I do not remember a... a team of three younger Sherlock Holmes is being involved in his cases.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
They also described it as being not far from a important trade route between Inuit and Canadian. So from the northern Inuit villages down towards places like Churchill. Which would put this village in a very reasonable spot. If you are along that corridor now. Why would the RCMP want those people out of there? It's hard to say for certain. Could have been a control issue.

Yeah, like those mountain tribes that we... Yeah. I think there's some very interesting folklore evidence that I... The tribes we know of were not the first ones here.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I wouldn't be surprised if it's something along those lines, like just another group that either got here at a different time or came from a different place. Inbreeding can cause red hair, though. So if you have small populations, that can also do it.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
That's another interesting thing is the natives had very, almost always had extremely stringent rules about inbreeding. Like not even cousin marriages.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Could have been that they were trading illegally or something. But it does raise an interesting question. You look at the situation. Why would they leave behind rifles, dogs, things like this? If they were fleeing on their own, they wouldn't. They would take their rifles, and they would definitely take their sled dogs. I don't think people... And this is not me trying to be rude about it, but I...
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
They had entire clans where you had to marry outside of the clan.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah. Because they didn't, they knew that inbreeding was a problem.
The Lore Lads

Yeah. That hurts. I will say. You know who should give it up and just accept that they're classic rock now is Linkin Park. Emily Armstrong ain't it, guys. Oh, you're going to get flack for that.

The new stuff is fine. I listen to it. I enjoy it. Every time I hear her try and do one of Chester's songs, I'm just like, oh, just stop. Just stop. Like, it feels wrong. Also, she's on the record as saying she doesn't believe in mental illness. Why would you bring somebody into the band who said that when Chester killed himself because of mental illness? What the hell?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Also, he's not the only member of the band that's not in the band. I think the original drummer and the original lead guitarist are also not there. It's not Linkin Park anymore. Queen has more original members when they tour.
The Lore Lads

No, I like if you can't, if you can't sing those songs, don't. I've done Linkin Park with cover bands. I don't do the songs I can't do. Because Chester was special.

What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, no. Also, other little quick anecdote. We were watching House and there's an episode where House refers to the new Star Wars movies. Yep. And he was talking about the prequels.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
No, she is not. I... But... If you were in a situation where there were a bunch of Mounties coming in and going, oh, you got to get out of here. And that would be the one time they wouldn't say sorry. I then you can see them leaving behind the dogs because they don't have a choice. And if the dogs don't know where they went, they can't track them. They can't go follow them.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah. Yeah. It's like, oh, you mean you're talking about Attack of the Clones right now? Which, by the way, is the weakest of the Star Wars films. I don't consider the sequels to be real.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I think overall the Phantom Menace is the better movie, but that story is better than anything in the Phantom Menace. Yes. The problem is the rest of the movie.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
So I'm pretty sure I approached women like Anakin did at some point in my life at some point.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Which is basically what the Jedi... When's the last time you watched Attack of the Clones?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, I was going to say, if it hasn't been recently, I would watch it again.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
It may have been justified. But he did it. He did do that, yeah. I don't know, if a tribe of desert people kidnapped my mom and then killed her, I too would probably murk all of them. That's fair. Except the kids.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
But he murked the women and the children happily, basically. I will say, I think the Book of Boba Fett did a very good job at humanizing the Tusken Raiders. On the other hand... I kind of wish they hadn't humanized the Tusken Raiders.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, that's the thing. It's like, they felt like they were just a good, like, they're just bad. They're just the bad guys. Too much moral gray area these days. Give me good and bad.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
So you can see how that might turn into leaving behind the dogs and your homes and everything because and then eventually being demolished by the authorities because they don't want it there anymore. So I think that if there was a village up there, I think that what makes the most sense is that it was purposefully removed, which then explains why the Canadians kept no record of it.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I'll have to take a look at that one. Because if I'm not mistaken...
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
See, I knew where the Haida were from. What I did not realize is that they are a language isolate.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I think that one you can give a pass to because it was made in like 68 and there weren't a ton of Arab actors.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
When I say the Canadians, I mean the Canadian government. I don't think that this is at all something that the average Canadian individual approves of. And that's why I made sure at the beginning of the show to be like, I like our Canadian friends. You know, like 5% of our audience is Canadian. So this is not at all a dig at Canadian people.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
of the time it was wonderful yes looking back it doesn't age well not so great but it's a shame because he really is a highlight in that film yeah I wish you could find a way to make him Arab for it so that it wouldn't be an ethical conundrum but if you were to make use AI to make him Arab that would that feels worse yeah hmm You can't remake the movie. I mean, you could. But why?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
It does make me want to go back and play Battlefield 1. Anytime I see a clip of it, I'm like, oh, there were some missions.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Oh, yeah. Because... Dude, Wicked makes me sick to my stomach. Yeah. Well, the problem is... Not the movie, it's the, like...
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I was seeing it today. Somebody was complaining about how despite the fact that Wicked used a ton of practical effects, it looks fake. Yeah. Because they overdid the color correction. Yeah. Also, any film people in the audience, stop making Wes Anderson feel good about himself. His movies look terrible. Pastel colors should not be used for film. I'm not going to back you on that one.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
It is observing a situation with the authorities that actually was a hot button issue like five years ago. I'm sure you remember that they were... the documentaries about, you know, there were mass graves, and then there weren't mass graves, and then it was like, okay, well, there weren't mass graves, but they were treated horribly, and it's like, okay, we got to the truth eventually there.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Your entire movie shouldn't look like you chose one color and made everything a shade of it. The hell was Moonrise Kingdom?
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
You know why I haven't watched The Grand Budapest Hotel, even though it's got great reviews? Why? Because I hate Wes Anderson.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
He makes me angry. Most of his films I still have yet to watch. You know, there's one time that I've watched Wes Anderson. It was when Family Guy made fun of him.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I've heard it's very good. It's phenomenal. I feel like it's gorgeous. To spend that kind of money, you need to make Top Gun.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
You know, they weren't mass murdering people, but people did die.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
See, I like for me, the reason I have Netflix, it was never for new movies. Yeah. I never, I didn't get Netflix to watch stuff at release. I got it so I could watch old stuff instead of going to blockbuster because blockbuster didn't exist anymore.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Like, for example, there were places I could have streamed Kingdom of Heaven for free because it was included in my subscription because I wanted to watch Kingdom of Heaven the other night.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I went to Amazon and bought the director's cut.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Because I wanted the director's cut.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
Yeah, it's like... I understand how we got here, but maybe we should slow down and get the facts straight, because if you don't, it turns into a big mudslinging fit between two different political extremes. It's like, okay, the fact of the matter here was actually, it was tragic, it just wasn't mass murder.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I think going to the movies needs to be an experience again. I remember when we were kids, it was an experience. And it's not anymore. Yeah. And they need to fix that. And I think, you know, I think boutique theaters are probably going to be the cutting edge of that. We have one right here, which I think if you gave the Colonial a million dollars...
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
it would be incredible what that place would become. One last thing before we get to the rest of Super Chats, though. I am in such a difficult place with the Odyssey.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
We'll talk about it more on History Unhinged, but one of the things I am really in a pickle with, first of all, stop putting Zendaya in everything. She doesn't need to be in the Odyssey. All I got to say is she has a great agent. She does. But like in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, I'm not saying these are like the same age. I want Helen Mirren. I want I got who's struggling with actors.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I haven't watched so many movies lately, but I want like the cream of the crop. I don't want the most popular actor there is. I want the best actor there is. I don't want... I think Matt Damon was a good choice for that movie. Honestly, I'm pumped. Yeah, I think Matt Damon was a good choice. But I'm talking, I want to see people like Tom Hardy. is a really good actor. He's not a huge name.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I want those people. I want Daniel Day-Lewis. Nolan generally does a good job with that, though. He does, but this happens with a lot of his movies. Like, Harry Styles did not need to be in Dunkirk. Nobody went to watch Dunkirk for Harry Styles. Nobody's going to see The Odyssey for Zendaya. Also, my bigger problem with it is that is not my Sinean armor.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
That is classical Greek armor, and I understand the Mycenaean armor would look ridiculous. It's silly. Yeah. And you're going for the look Troy had.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
He was, and he was phenomenal in it.
The Lore Lads
What Is Going On With Canada? | Podcast Episode 160
I don't know. It's nothing against Zendaya. I'm just like, she's in everything. Doesn't need to be in the Odyssey. I want the Odyssey to be like a beautiful piece of film. I want the Odyssey to be like Gladiator. You know? It very well may be. Zendaya's gonna have to put on a better performance than she's ever put on in her life.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
We're a package deal. Yeah, I always have been.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
I guarantee at least six of them will refer to themselves that way.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Leif Erikson and not successfully setting up a colony.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
No, 100%. But my thought more like other comment, what was the journey day length from Iceland to Greenland for them?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
We can have two weeks. And then what was the journey from Norway to Iceland for them?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
But then they had to get, again, from Greenland down. Week. Week. That's a five-week passage. With two stops in the middle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What was the max carrying capacity of their ships?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Like rough estimates.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
So, I think my estimation here, and this is why I'm going here because I want to hear your thoughts on it, is I think the reason it didn't work for them and the reason that it did work for other Europeans is when I look at a Viking longship, I see a fast but not very durable. Oh, no, no, no. Specifically for that area of ocean. The reason I say that is because they had very low drafts, right?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Very short. They were long. Good in a straight line. Good for speed.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Right. The Northern Atlantic is some of the most treacherous water on Earth. It's not uncommon, even without a storm, to have waves that are 50 feet tall.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Right. I'm more thinking in terms of the experience of the passengers. Because to generate a settlement, you're going to have to generally bring, at the very least, women, if not children.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
But you're not fitting a lot of people on there, and you're definitely only bringing the strongest.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Right, but two weeks, even if we're low-balling week and a half... We're talking like a day and a half from Greenland to Baffin Island. Right.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
I'm talking more from Norway to Iceland. Oh, they did that all the time. I know. What I'm saying, though, is that bringing 30 to 40 people in a ship that is not very well protected from the elements... Over multiple week stretches across the North Atlantic where you can have really treacherous conditions, especially a lot of fog. In the winter, you're worried about being cold.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
In the summer, it can be really hard to navigate because there's almost always fog in the summer. When you have to do that crossing several times or at least have several boats because your boats don't have a huge carrying capacity and you're limited heavily by the weather around you.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
It makes sense that they might not want to deal with having to go through all of that to get there and start up in a colony.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Fair, but is it possible that they realized that it wasn't worth it after the Greenland colony?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Well, people weren't bringing their whole families with them on these journeys, were they?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Do we know if they're family members, though?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yeah, no, understood.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
But here's the thing. You have to look at the positive side of that. We're getting so much engagement for free.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
How long do they stay in England after they set up that colony?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
You personally? How are you going to get through the sheep?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
All right, ladies and gentlemen, just a heads up. We're going to do a slightly shorter stream this week because, well, we always say that we're going to go. We're going to go till 830, which means we're going to go main topic until 745 ish.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
I mean, the thing that just and what I was trying to say earlier is that the thing that makes sense to me is just in terms of why they left. Just because like Iceland and Greenland, they didn't really have a native population they had to worry about. Right.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Mainland North America, they're entering a territory that has essentially had... like dozens of warring tribes that have been fighting each other for millennia. And the biggest difference between that and Europe is it took way longer to get reinforcements over there for the Norse.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
But I wouldn't be surprised if given the, the overwhelming number of natives that were in the U S or in North America and the fact that it was such a long journey.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
that if they eventually just deemed it not worth it.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yeah, Mattis is fried.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Not deep fried. No, not like the memes. Not like the best of memes.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
But super chats, we will answer up until 745. So get them in now.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Do the Inuit or Native American cultures of that portion in North America have many stories about trading with each other?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yeah, no, fair. The point I'm trying to drive home, though, is if their stories are mostly about warring, and your point is that the Norse would have done well to assimilate, They also very much would have fought them. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Well, that's the thing. If it happened to be a peaceful landing, it may just be that we don't have stories about it because they didn't keep tabs about it. But we should have artifacts. Right. But like you said, we barely dug.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yes, yes. Yeah, because if we let them go on forever, we can't. So they will probably outbeat us.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yeah, 100%. But I don't know.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Understandably so. There's a lot of unanswered questions.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yeah, I was going to cut you off at eight.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Why would you want to be an object willingly?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
That's a lot for one day. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
I certainly couldn't do that.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
I can't read that fast. Simply cannot. Gomb is first. As usual. Yes. Trains and Stuff says Sodom and Gonorrhea. Is there a boo button? No, we have an applause, an alarm, an air horn, a brass, a drumbeat, a heartbeat, a bleep, and an open effect. Which one do you want?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yeah. All right. Moving on. CJ for five bucks says, can you look into Tony Turner's disappearance? I've emailed you info about her. I can again. Also, Tony is spelled with two E's instead.
The Lore Lads

We're very grateful, considering we don't know what's going on with the channel right now.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
What do you want to cover?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Fair enough. Uh, the room Canadian for Canadian $2 says the Lord be lodging and the milk flow. Yeah. Tyler Dourable for five, five, six. Nice says, could you look into operation Northwoods and similar things, or are you afraid of getting a CIA journalism award?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
What is that again?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Fair enough. A7XM Shadows.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Got it. Oh, wait. That sounds very familiar. That's the... It's not the ship, is it?
The Lore Lads

Well, Dick Cheney did make money off the Iraq War.
The Lore Lads

What year did the Vietnam War start? I think we officially went in in 65.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Crazy stuff. Isn't it wild how... Oh, yeah, no. Didn't Isaiah put out a video about the JFK files today? I don't know. Yeah. Probably. That's why I didn't do it. Yeah, I was going to say, like, because the... I figured he was going to do it, so... Yeah, but more specifically, it's like, oh, it's wild that when JFK wanted to get rid of them, suddenly, you know, his head just did that.
The Lore Lads

A7XMShadows19 for 20 bucks, thank you very much, says, I'm glad you guys recognized me when y'all were on PCC. Even if my username confused Brett, it's my OG Xbox Live.

Uh, I do have an interesting, would you rather, uh, would you rather go back in time to stop Karl Marx or Anton LaVey?
The Lore Lads

Yeah. Hopefully we, I feel like we didn't fully like communicate well enough that we did in fact know who he was. Yeah. We had watched his stuff in the past.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yeah, that's kind of cool. Don't know if you watch just the Friday stuff or if you watch this, but if you do. All right.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yeah, it was wicked because we were walking into the hotel and he was in front of me and we both kind of like looked at him a little bit. And then we were I think we both internally were like, that's not is it? And then he looked to us and said, oh, you're the Lore Lodge guys, aren't you?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yeah. He was very nice.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
And this is just cause it hasn't been done right.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
We just need AI.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yeah, the Lord does agree.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yes, because that qualifies.
The Lore Lads

Not many people like that. Yeah. Anyway, Chip with a Hand Grenade says, in all caps... Oh, good. She lured on my lodge to, like, technical difficulties.
The Lore Lads

No, but he is cozied up on my leg, and I'm very proud.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
It seems like he just wants to stay under the table.

What a cutie. Ella for $4.99 says, Would y'all be interested in GGP's Airsoft LARP event at Zulu 24 in New York this July 19th through 20th? We're going to be in Yellowstone.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
It's just thunder. He's like, that's a big dog. I don't know where it is, but there's a big dog somewhere. Yeah, if we weren't doing Yellowstone, we'd probably say yes. Yeah, that sounds sick. Yeah. Ancient Anglican says, know what the show needs?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
It bothered you?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
The ideas I suggested were obviously drunk folklore, bring that back. A Patreon-exclusive live show. For those of you who are on the Patreon who either want to ask questions, it won't be just Super Chats we answer. We'll try and get through a bunch of them because it's going to be less people. And then we were thinking about maybe bringing back the Candlelight Sessions thing for UOG's.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
That'd be interesting. Potatoes for Seamus says a third Aiden foot. I'm all in. Oh, no.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
I don't know what that means.
The Lore Lads

What is a mukbang? That sounds not safe for work.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yeah, aren't you all aware that both she and he are in separate relationships? I don't know. Just want to confirm that. I don't think they care. Because with that context, it makes it really weird. I don't think they care. Yeah, fair enough. Have you not seen them putting me on Bigfoot? No, I haven't. Oh, good God.
The Lore Lads

You gotta remember, for someone with a job on the internet, I don't go on the internet. I don't know what anything is happening anywhere. That's actually hilarious. I've been having to deal with this for months. I love that. They could have been doing that about me, and I'd never know. Yeah, I know.

I'm honored. We made it. Nicholas Long says, It's a bit stormy near me, boys are. Yeah, it is very stormy. Yeah, it's... We're in the middle of a... I was going to say a hurricane. We have a tornado warning that's happening currently.

Oh, jeez. They could always go into the parking garage. It's not underground. Close enough. I guess. Gomp says, Fun fact, beluga whales have visible knees. That's nuts. That's not a fun fact at all.

We should do an evolutionist fake video.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
It would basically just be like a new cover of a song that we would do together as the Edens. Mattis is concerned none of you would care. I think it'd be just a nice little bonus that some might care about that maybe would be at like a higher tier level. Because if you really want that, that makes sense.

Yeah. Anyway, moving on. Wolf Lord Brand for $5 says, you need to build a time machine and go back to tell the Norse to record better directions in their sagas so you don't have to do all this work. You know what I realized? I saw a video recently of somebody directly translating French to English, not necessarily correcting the grammar, just grammatically what it would be.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
I really do think English has the most specific language. Oh, yeah, by far. Yeah. I wouldn't be shocked.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yeah. But on the world stage, I think it might be.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
I've seen some direct land translations of Mandarin, and again, it seems to have its limitations. Mandarin seems like German to me. Yeah, English is four languages in a trench coat. Yeah, but the benefit of that is you can get really specific.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
So I think part of the problem might have been just, like, and I'm not saying this is, like, the reason for everything, but a variable in the pot may have been the fact that languages back then were not anywhere near as specific.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Is now? Even English back then wasn't.

Cody85 for $10 says, are you going to cover any cases where the RCMP actually solved it? It would be interesting to see your cover the Tonkawa as a tribe that actually embraced cannibalism. The second one seems to make more sense. I feel like the first one would be like, well, why are we doing the video on it?

They have. Questionable content for five bucks says, y'all should check out the Vinland Saga. That show, it's a show, follows Thorfinn Carlsefni and has heavy Christian themes in season two. Great if you don't like anime. I would imagine you're probably just going to be angry that it's not accurate.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yeah, I can get past. I enjoy the animation of anime. I don't like the dialogue.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
I don't think that counts. It's Ghibli. Yeah, I don't think Ghibli is considered anime. It's considered animation. At least people I know would not consider that anime. Anime is like a heavily exaggerated style of anime. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's so different than any other anime I've ever seen referenced.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
It is... Yes, Studio Ghibli is like the opposite of anime. I mean, again, it's animated, but... Anime is usually like highly exaggerated and... No, everything I'm saying says Studio Ghibli is considered anime.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yeah, everything I'm seeing on your computer is that if you're going by the most generic possible definition, yes. But Ghibli is considered its own animation style at this point. And generally anime as understood in pop culture is a style of animation that usually is like very... not over a overstated in a sense, but exaggerated is a better word for it.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Hang on, hang on. Here we go. One germ. Oh, good God. Two germ, three germ. Germ ends. Constantine says, aren't we all germs? Technically, we're covered in more germs on a single person than there are humans on the planet. Isn't that kind of nuts?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Um, which is kind of antithesis of Ghibli because Ghibli is really reserved. Like they're beautiful and there's a lot of colors and things like that, but the, the movements and the animation and the, and the overall tone is very relaxed and reserved on the whole.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yeah, that's fair.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
It's too much. It's both the regular version with sub and with dub. I just can't. I can't do it.

I mean, that just sounds like it's a good representation of the results of millions and millions of years.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yeah. We're just too autistic to like, uh, anime, I guess.
The Lore Lads

The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yeah, the amount that people want to believe in something conspiratorial that doesn't actually... The thing that really intrigues me about that, and I'll avoid saying the term just in case we've said it too many times in this livestream so far, is... There's no logical motive for that to exist.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
No. The hiding of the existence of a flat earth.

No, I get their argument. I mean, we've argued with one, like, whatever. But there's... But Aiden, you don't understand. It's them. Yes. What are they... Like, that's the thing. Did we... I can't remember... Because it's them. But did we ask him what their goal was? Yeah, he didn't answer it. Exactly. Exactly.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Every flatter. Didn't you know? Is plankton. They are plankton from SpongeBob. And if they get to the point where everyone believes them. And then you ask, what was their goal? The response will simply be. I don't know. I didn't think I'd get this far. Yep. Except they'll never actually say that. No, they'll think it in their head and they'll be like, they might have a seizure, actually.
The Lore Lads

If you liked Wind River and you want something similar vein, a little more lighthearted, but not necessarily. Something I was reminded of a few weeks ago that I got into a rewatch of is L.A. Confidential. Fantastic film. Would give that a shot.

What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Kill Bill's a very specific movie of his. That's not representative.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
No, no, I know, but it's more specifically like it's intended to.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Well, the plot's in the title.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Because he's got a foot fetish.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
The typical colonizer, like.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
I don't think you can get up that one. No, no, not that I don't think you're able to. I think like the ladder doesn't exist anymore. Like it's rusted out. I'm not even sure if that thing's still functional.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
A pump. What's the point? So that way you have, you know how energy levels requirements fluctuate throughout the day? Sure. So people use a lot of water in the morning. Yeah. They're brushing their teeth. They're going to the bathroom, things like that. And then people go to work. And then your water usage dips in the middle of the day. Okay.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Because people are not taking showers usually or stuff like that. And then in the evening it spikes again because people are washing dishes, cooking dinner, showering, you know, bathroom stuff. Sure. Right. And then while everybody's sleeping from like 10 until 8 in the morning, most people's water is not being run. Okay.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
So instead of having a lot of pumps that have to be turned on and off throughout the day as usage changes and fluctuates, you have a water tower, which in the low periods, the pump actively fills. Mm-hmm. And then during the high usage periods, it's usually greater. It's intentionally greater than the pump would. Mm-hmm.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
So that way the water is used, everybody gets the water, but the tank drains slightly.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
As a result, because the pumps aren't going to meet the need.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yeah. It's a way to minimize the fluctuation of moving parts. Gotcha. Yeah. All right. So that's it. Fair enough. Yeah. Same thing with power stations, except they don't have the same...
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
freedoms as a water tower because there's not good battery storage right now that we have um that's part of why they're kind of trying to get solar and wind in a lot more places is because that acts like a passive thing rather than having to start up and shut down like coal or nuclear power plants because that takes a long time so you know you can have one reactor out of four functioning consistently and then you have balanced with renewables right
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
And then for the high periods that's generally scheduled, such as like during the day and like, you know, high points, things like that or whatever, you can plan to have like a secondary source kick on and stuff like that. Gotcha. Yeah. That's why renewables are nice because most people are awake during the day. Most renewables work during the day, that kind of thing. Anyway.

What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Yeah, we had a little brainstorm session. We got a lot of good ideas.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Enjoy Missing 411 on Friday. We'll see you next week.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
That is the downside of science because it gives you unnerving information about your body.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
How many Viking excavation sites have been initiated in the United States? There's just in North America.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Okay. But, like, do we have any... Like, is it dozens, or is it hundreds, or is it, like, three?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
No, it's just the termites.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
My bet, though... is that considering... Yeah, you thought it was the Bay of Fundy, right?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
Well, yeah, what you described basically in the video was... And I called him while I was editing the video because while... Unfortunately, while we're filming, I'm more focused on his delivery and a variety of different elements about the actual production itself, so I'm not really digesting what he's saying in terms of the content.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
We are Aiden, and we are in your walls.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
That happens later on when I'm editing the video because even the first pass, I'm more focused on creating a cohesive thing that sounds right and matches the script, not necessarily exactly what it's saying. Yeah. On the third run, I'm looking for images of what he's saying, so I have to pay close attention.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
So when you got to that section in the video where you were talking about essentially what the description of the path was. it immediately jumped to my mind. It was like, oh, well, the Bay of Fundy has like a 50-foot tidal range. Which is nuts. Yeah, it's the largest tidal range in the world. And it's all just because of, you know how if you hit a tuning fork, obviously you can hear that?
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
It's because the resonance frequency of that fork is at that pitch. It just so happens that the Bay of Fundy hits the resonance frequency of the tides. So it's like way crazier than anywhere else in the world.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
So when they were saying specifically in an area that was not accessible at high tide, well, like the whole northern section of the Bay of Fundy and all of the rivers that are in it are not accessible at high tide.
The Lore Lads
What Would Have Happened if the Vikings Stayed? | Podcast Episode 164
So going around the land and then going up to a place that you couldn't access by high tide, upper river, and then all these lakes, I'm like, okay, well, there's two main rivers in that portion of Nova Scotia that are fed from lakes. Maybe that's it.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
consistency you know it would be nice wouldn't it also yes for those of you wondering and curious the hair it's gone is in fact gone uh the reason is because my buddy uh is a pilot in the marines and last weekend not this past weekend the previous weekend i guess you didn't see me because we didn't do the show last week yeah um he got his wings for the marines uh and really is crazy they really do be going crazy
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Oh, he was so creative, though.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah, I mean, I haven't seen the movie since 2012, but... The wild thing is that the whole thing wasn't declassified until 2013.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Well, just on top of what you were saying, thinking back to Isaiah reading the 1611 version. And yeah, that's a drastically different, even though it is still technically a KJV.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
So I figured, well, I'm going to be on a Marine Air Base for a full weekend for somebody's ceremony that's very close to me, probably shouldn't look like a hippie, and to be completely honest with you, having to tie it back every waking moment of the day was starting to grow annoying, so the short hair's back.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yep, they were just an excessively lusty culture.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Didn't matter, lust was still a useful tool in the arsenal for them. So even just the various, like the meanings of words change. To clarify for everybody that might be confused, the lusty definition at the time was not what we're inferring through the joke. It was closer to ambition.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
What was the translation of the sin of lust from the Bible at that time?
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
It is. Linguistics. Crazy.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
I don't know what's on the Voyage Manuscript, and I guarantee most of the people watching don't.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
It was Eastern Europe, but... I figured what you meant was that the things that were said on it are confusing.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Is it possible to forge carbon dating? Not on the back end, but on the front end. Because anybody could lie about the results of the carbon date from a lab if they really wanted to. Yeah, I don't think that the people running the labs are lying, though. No, no, I agree. But I'm just saying it's easier to do that than I would imagine than it would be to somehow create.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
And it seems like Carl Allen was right on their trail.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah, like very intensely untreated for a very long period of time.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Oh yeah, no, it's totally within reason.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
It's almost like it's almost like some people didn't have faith in us. And look what happened.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
yeah it probably honestly oh we might get the monetized for that by the way um yeah no honestly it probably if it was skunk works it would make a lot of sense because especially it was an army guy that got out there first exactly because the army guys wouldn't know anything about it so they'd be like this is weird and then all of the classified people show up and they're like hey dude nope nope so when you think about do you remember how the the aliens are described from roswell
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Uh, small, lean, big heads, big eyes, all that fun stuff. Yeah. Wearing like silvery jumpsuits.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
I'm assuming relatively similar.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah. No, the 50s was a wild time because you had a proliferation of a lot of mass media communication first hitting a lot of different homes. You've got a mass understanding of physics and science on a more widespread level, not at a high level of understanding, but people are aware of it. The bomb was just dropped like five to 10 years prior, depending on when you're talking about.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
And at the same time, you've still got like a large population of the planet taking like lithium and, you know, the original recipe of Coke and things like that, where it's just a really weird blend of variables that make for a lot of interesting circumstances.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah. Like... No, bring Bob Lazar back to 1952.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Well, considering if the story's true, what he did. Yeah. Which thing are you talking about? Specifically, that he worked at S4, started leaking a bunch of information about S4 in a variety of different ways for decades.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah, S4 was part of Area 51, according to his story.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
And the thing is, like, he was working there, he was seeing all this stuff, he was working with all these things, supposedly, allegedly, and then he started leaking a bunch of this information, and it's like, yeah, well, if you're working at the most secret portion of Area 51, and supposedly all this is true, and you have insane levels of security clearance, if you start breaking those contracts...
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
No, that was the opposite. Yeah, no, he only had access to certain elements of the craft, supposedly.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Supposedly, and I could be misremembering, but supposedly there were multiple crafts...
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
in area 51 gotcha s4 was one craft all right and he was only um his only purpose was understanding the propulsion now this is coming back to me yeah yeah you're right this is coming back to me now we should do a deep dive on that that would be an interesting one yeah um also it's a very interesting thing that you get with people like him they become extremely skittish
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah, and that's the thing is, like, you don't know if that's paranoia from some form of mental illness or if it's just genuine paranoia because of if the story's true.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah. It seems like from the stories that he's told that they covertly tried to shut him up in ways that couldn't really be traceable. They weren't overt, stuff like that.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
The moment you take away the things he loves is the moment you create someone who's ready to become a martyr.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Check out our MH370 videos, everybody.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah, it was a fun little video to do. Two videos. Yeah. The debunking of me in Premiere, which is not a visual effects software. It's just a video editing software with some minor capabilities for like keying and stuff like that. Yeah, I took the original assets and showed how you make that into what it ended up being. Yeah, that was fun. That was a good time. That's in part two.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Check out both parts. It's a good little series.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
I really look forward to not only having the family on the show, but specifically the video that we end up doing to do a proper deep dive into that case. Cause that's, that's going to be a fun, that's going to be a fun video.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah, it's got to be a tough position to be in.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah. You know they know. Speaking of, a lot of people are wondering when we're going to get back to the next episode of JonBenet.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Got it. So you were electromagnetically invisible, just not visually invisible.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
you know yeah and the reason that we're going about it that way for the most part is in order to present the case as data focused as possible because we don't want to lead you into believing anything we want to present as much information as clearly as possible because one of the issues and the reason why he's done more research than he's actually shown so far is because so many of the resources that are there to provide information about the case are
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
are incomplete and contradictory. So what Mattis has been doing, and then I, by proxy with the visuals, is creating a comprehensive timeline based off of all these varying versions of the story.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Have you ever seen a video of cleaning metal surfaces with running an electric current through saltwater?
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yes, electrolysis. So have you ever noticed in some of those electrolysis videos, especially if there's copper, it's a little fizzy, and sometimes that fizz is green. Yes, because copper. Because copper. So wouldn't be shocked if there was fizzy, jumpy water that was green around a copper wire-wrapped ship that had an electric current running through it.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Let me clarify as well. That's how we both feel, because by far, mutually, our favorite series right now is the JonBenΓ©t series. It is the most fulfilling for both of us, for him doing the research and presenting, and for me supplementing his research in the video format with all of the visuals, all the different content that I put on there as well. There's something about that story that...
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
And the fact that it truly just, in our opinion, has not been effectively told in a... cumulative way as we feel it should have, that it's just been really nice to be able to do that in the manner in which we have thus far. So it to echo what he's saying, it really sucks that we're in a position where we're not, we're not able to do it as frequently as we would like to.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah, the weird case and then the unexplained cases. Exactly.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah, this is not a, well, I feel bad for the Aiden's thing. This is a, this is why we don't do certain topics sometimes. Yeah, that's all it is.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
The thing is, is that Killdozer was a scenario in which almost every star in the solar system aligned. Yeah. And that was something that we had discussed months in advance because we saw that opportunity ahead of us. And, I mean, I know personally, for me, ever since we started YouTube, I'd been interested in Killdozer since I first saw it on Gone in 60 Seconds.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah, it was. 100% fossil fuel propaganda. 100% and it worked wonders on me. But no, so we planned that months ahead of time. And we both, I know for, like I said, me personally, I had always really wanted to do a video on Killdozer. And the dream was like, I want us to have the best video on YouTube about it. And I personally, I think we hit it. I'm really proud of that.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
But unfortunately, the majority of what we cover does not have that broad of an appeal. It doesn't have that many stars in line. We're like, it's an anniversary of something that people are going to be talking about that has already had some traction before that we're able to kind of really get new eyes on it, things like that. You know, it's a rare scenario.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
However, there are creators on this platform that are capable of getting those kind of viewerships on a consistent basis.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
everything we do we're friends with several of them and we're looking forward to being in that position so that we can give you what you want every video we do something a little further to try and find a way to kind of you know get ourselves and into that echelon by just making better content for more people to want to watch and see and i mean our channel's growing things have been great we're very happy yeah we're not disappointed by any stretch of the imagination but it's just you know our growth is
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Greater than a lot, slower than some, and based on what our hopes are for what we want to provide you, where we want the channel to go, where we want our company to go, we're just not at those milestones yet to be able to do everything that we want to be able to do for you guys.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
I have to spend at least half of my day tomorrow on the phone with Pico because for some reason, they won't let me access our account. So who knows if they're going to turn off our gas tomorrow or not.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah. Yeah. It is always entertaining to me that 2022 was essentially just like missing 411 straight through.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah, without a doubt. Um, also the only thing, other thing before super chats was, uh, in terms of things that were layered, uh, and, uh, you very like well thought out. So I learned a couple of things about the halftime show after watching it.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah, but this came to my mind a half an hour ago. So apparently, do you remember the... Hold on to thoughts for half an hour. Sometimes, yeah. You remember the two women who, the one singer SZA and then the other woman who was dancing? That was Serena Williams. Yeah, that was Serena Williams. Apparently both of them are exes of Drake. Oh, I knew that Serena was.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah, no, apparently both of them are. And you remember the A that he had? Yeah, A minor. Yep. Some people during the watch party were like, is that an Amazon A? And then it was like, no, no, no, that's the lowercase A, such as A minor. Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah, that man has so many layers to everything he does. That was impressive. Yeah.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Not the face, not the nose, not the jaw, just the skull.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah, it's more... Granted, we have been drinking all day. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's... I also couldn't hear what he was saying. The best thing... Yeah, they didn't mic him well. Also, my hearing sucks. Yeah, your hearing's also bad. The best thing about Kendrick Lamar in literally everything he does...
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
there are multiple layers okay so like part of the reason his albums have gotten so many grammys and why he is considered such an amazing artist is because like when you look at analyses of even just a single song or a single verse he will have like 16 references within two lines jeez and like i think you were telling me about this that like there's people who have broken it down
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's just, like, the amount of things that he works into, everything he does is, like, spectacular in terms of art and artistry.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Not only that, but throughout the albums, because he doesn't just throw songs onto an album. The songs will build on each other throughout the playthrough of the discography. Yeah, exactly. So, yeah. So, I would imagine that there are going to be some really good analyses of the structure of how that halftime was designed. But, yeah. Anyway, going to Super Chats. Chats. It's 8.16.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
I'm going to say, I don't know if we're going to be able to get to all these within 45 minutes, but we'll do it. I know a lot of them are, looks like, short.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Jamo for $10, starting us off strong, is saying, the reason for my previous query about the nature of automobiles was that I may have spun my car into the bucket of an industrial loader during a storm. My dude. Oh, buddy. What happened? Why are you doing that? Put some studs on those tires. Get some all-weathers. Some all-seasons. Or better yet, some winter tires. I hope you're okay.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
I hope your car is relatively okay. Thank you for $10. But, start saving some of that money to repair a windshield. Nonetheless, next, Tyler Dalrymple for $7.62. Love that specific specificity. Specific specificity? Yes. It's not just the specificity. There is a specific specificity behind that numerical selection.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Pretty sure the whole thing is based on degaussing the classified process of making ships invisible to the German magnetic mines via EMFs. Yes. I got it. I got it right. You did it. I don't know if I got the physics of it right, but I got the concept.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
JMO followed up with $5 saying, though having sustained awful damage to the body and three shattered windows, the device still runs as if it were a champion. And then I drove it home. Fantastic. Only concern is why did you call your car a device? That's like saying diverse for many different chests in a room.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
No, but not long after because I have had when the movie came out. Sackler documentary. Oh, Dope Sick, the series? Yeah, it came out, I think, roughly around then. I've only had two migraines in my life.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah, both migraines I've ever had have put me in the hospital. uh the last one i had i woke up within 30 minutes i realized that one was about to come on it was the second one i had ever had um i was on the phone with my mother she essentially sent my father over to get me i was living 30 minutes away at the time by the time he got there i had been vomiting Because he got there within an hour.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
It wasn't 30 minutes directly. I'd been vomiting for 45 minutes in an attempt to meet him downstairs because my bedroom was upstairs. I fell down the stairs because I could not stand through... Getting me to the nearest hospital, I could not stop vomiting from just the pain. Yikes. They made us wait for three hours in the waiting room. I think I passed out a couple times.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
And I don't know how long before I was actually admitted into a room. I remember looking at my dad and saying, I don't know how much more of this I can take. Mm-hmm. And apparently that really scared him. And I think I passed out again because I don't remember him like kind of really getting after it with people in the whatever.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
And I laid on the bed for another two to three hours vomiting and going in and out of consciousness until they finally gave me morphine so I could just sleep. Yeah. But yeah. Both times I've ever had a migraine, the only relief I was able to have was... Morphine? Morphine.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah. I never experienced any wildness because I literally... My body was so exhausted after each that I just slept. I think the first time I slept for, like, 12 hours. And the second time was something similar.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
But when you got broken ribs... it's a nice relief yeah it's nice um for everybody that's asking in the chat that didn't hear it the first time the reason my hair is gone is because i went to texas for my buddy's marine winging uh he's going to be flying the f-35 go jesse Good for Jesse. And I'd had it for three years. I was pulling it back and tying it back every day.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
It was getting very annoying. And it was the perfect excuse to get rid of it. I'd been holding out for a long time because I didn't want to regret it when I did. And it was the perfect time because after I shaved it all off my head with the help of my glorious girlfriend, I looked in the mirror and I was grateful. So it was just the right time.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
So for those of you who are used to me with the long hair, this is how I've looked for most of my life. So welcome to a new chapter. Anyway, moving on. Echo Warrior for $9.99, thank you very much, says, Mattis, first off, how hungover are you in Thornberry? Not very, actually. Not at all, yeah.

Uh, JMO again for 1429 saying the fear of the milk is the beginning of knowing, but fools despise knowledge and instruction. The fool must learn. However, for milk has gone to and fro in the earth and walks up and down in it. Was that a reference to the Book of Job? I wouldn't put it past him.

That's incredible. I got to say, one of my favorite parts about being from Philly is seeing all the memes of the rest of the country being like Philly, whether they win or lose, and it's just Armageddon. But everyone forgets. That the country was founded here, but that revolutionary spirit still resonates.

The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
So you said KGB extinction. Yeah, KT...
The Lore Lads

So those dinosaurs and their connection to young Earth creationists. I mean, I'm sure we can.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
The Mako Membe looks like a brontosaurus, roughly. And the... What do we got here? The Ropen? The least dinosaur-sounding dinosaur name I've ever heard. Looks like a pterodactyl. If someone swings. Yeah, I mean, I can take a look at them.

Uh, historical chaos gave us $5 and has been a member for 13 months. Uh, asking again about my hair. I'm fairly certain this was, uh, you know, prior to the last time I mentioned it. And also, uh, all you care about is money. Um, who doesn't want to be paid for the work they do?
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah. To put it in another way that's similar but slightly different, we've never done a story that we didn't want to do because we thought it would make money.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
We have never done a story that we didn't want to do. All of them are... I did not want to do the Philadelphia Experimental.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
I'm going to hate writing this. And I kept pushing him because I was like, I feel like it's an interesting story that's worth covering.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158

We're not Logan Paul. Do you think that one got age restricted? Watch it not have been. Yeah. Just because it was Logan Paul. I don't think initially it was, and that's why it was such a big deal. Probably.

The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's funny. Vampire from Pluto for $20, thank you very much, says, if you do cover the Roswell incident, you should talk to the Chiluminati podcast. Sorry. At first I thought it said Cthulhu, and I was trying to get that out of my head. They deep dive on and know a lot about alien theories and the UFO community. Chiluminati.
The Lore Lads

Yeah, that was ages ago, too. My hair was this length back then. It was 2021. Late 2021. My hair was shorter than this in that episode. Sheesh. That's nuts. Oh, hi, buddy. Oh, hey, buddy boy.

Angela Lopez for $5 says, Realistically, do you all think that an experiment of that nature could show promising results with today's tech? Absolutely. Uh, well, wait. Are we talking about the realistic experiment they were doing or the conspiracy version?
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
I think if you're taking the green fog aside and you just are trying to make a ship visibly invisible, yeah, I think you could do it with screens and cameras.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
I just don't think it's practical for anything that has an assumption of receiving enemy fire. I think it could be very useful for snipers. Snipers, 100%. Snipers, special forces. Yeah, but on a tank, it's going to be worthless because the moment it's hit... Well, yeah, but also the moment it's hit... It goes away. It goes away because the screen is destroyed and then it's not worth having it.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Like on a stealth aircraft, it makes a lot of sense on a bomber. But at the same time, if you're in a stealth bomber, you're probably cruising at like 40,000 feet. Yeah. I think...
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Oh yeah. That's, that's the whole point. If you guys are not aware of the differences between the F 22 and the F 35, the F 22, sorry, the F 35 goal, especially like with his active radar cancellation and all this fun stuff is essentially, it's like, it will destroy you before you ever see it coming in a sense that the warthog does that from moderately close range and,
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
The F-35 will do it from beyond the horizon, like dozens of miles away. You will never see it coming. You will never see it. You will never perceive it. Whereas the F-22, it will be the last thing you see. It will outmaneuver anything in the sky.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Oh, yeah. No. So we learned some fun things about the F-22. The F-35 is NATO's plane. Strike fighter. Yeah, we create it for everybody. We sell it to Britain and Japan, a lot of these different places. And every branch of the military has them, things like that. The only people allowed to fly the F-22 in the world are U.S. Air Force pilots. Not even U.S. Navy.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Not even the Navy, which is the world's second largest air force.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
During international training exercises with other countries, the pilots are required to to hold back their capability in the aircraft because it's so advanced that they don't want other countries knowing what it's capable of doing. Military industrial complex goes hard.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
No, I think that's the thing is I think in that scenario, I don't think it's them overblowing the cartel. It's I think most other countries don't understand what the American military really is because they've never seen it deployed.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah. Yeah. I will say so. Like, we got a quick comment here from the hillbilly historian saying that's what we thought about the Viet Cong. And I do have to remind you that. Different situation. I have to remind you what the situation was there. And that was LBJ wanted to make money.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
And ending that conflict quickly would not have made them the money that they got the opportunity to make.
The Lore Lads
The Most Convoluted Hoax We've Ever Seen | Podcast Episode 158
Yeah, it's kind of nuts. Also, you have to remember, it's like, if you want to get an understanding of what the U.S. military... Also, could have nuked them. Well, that's the thing, is we could have done that, but if you want to truly understand what the U.S. military is, Desert Storm.
