Join us on Now We Consume. Take in the knowledge.
Take in the laughs. Indulge in the topics with
us. The Now We Consume podcast will take you
through the parts of your day you normally dread.
Why suffer through the existential crisis of
life alone when you can do it with us? And now
we consume. This is not meant to be a conspiracy
episode or podcast, but we make over some topics
that dance that line like a toddler dances on
their mother's last nerve. This podcast is rated
I. For immature audiences only. If you've ever
deep -throated a vape pen just to feel something
besides your 401k hemorrhaging, then welcome
home. This is the Now We Consume Podcast, and
I'm your host, Pip. Here, as always, are my co
-hosts, Gibbs and Gibbles. Hello. Yeah. You look
stunned, perturbed, bothered, confused. I just
don't know what you do on your Saturdays where
you try your things out, and then you're like,
you know what, this will work for the show on
Sunday. You know, life has gotten to that point
where you're sitting home alone and it's just
like, I wonder if this does anything. And that's
how you end up making out with a light socket
sometimes. Is there a reason why your vape pen
looks oddly phallic shaped? Are we figuring this
out now? You weren't supposed to see that vape
pen, so you hush your whore mouth. Fair. Well,
I'm not surprised he saw it. I wasn't rooting
through your stuff apparently, so. He was just
trying to hide from Carly and the Tongue of Doom.
I was trying to hide from reality because I was
holding on to your house for dear life. The earth
was spinning without me. Trying not to go up
and herb at the Orth for a little while, huh?
Oh, yeah. A little spicy cube action and you
head up into orbit. You know, I keep saying I'm
not going to do it again, but we'll all have
the meetup next year anyway. That's this year.
That's this year now. Sorry, fuck. We're firmly
into 26 now. Yeah, we're in February now, dude.
It's okay. Take your time. I know. So tonight
we're going to be talking about something that
I hope is fun. I hope you guys listening like
this topic, and I hope it touches your tism in
a fun and special way. We're going to be talking
about parallel universe dream theory. Now, we've
spoken at length on this show about how AI will
probably be the end of humanity. That's not really
in question if you've listened to this show for
any length of time. But lately, we've been trying
to shed some light on some of the good things
that AI can do to benefit humanity before it
ultimately wipes us out so we can at least go
out a little bit happy. Maybe, maybe not. There's
a lot of tech and science we have and will discuss
that's still either theoretical or at least in
the lab. But I think that it shows that when
you combine human ingenuity and the power of
AI, the limits really are just your imagination.
Science fiction is slowly becoming more and more
reality that was based in fiction. And while
that's been the narrative for years, in a lot
of cases at least, the tech and advancements
that can come out of the labs now is actually
kind of terrifying. And I mean, we've spoken
about that in several of our past episodes. And
now in the context of just January and February
of this year, this isn't just an internet podcast
story. We now have actual REM space and prophetic
tech hitting the market. So people are actually
beginning to map alternate lives. I know, Previously
in another episode, and we'll touch on it here
a little bit later, we talked about how there
was a lab experiment where two people in two
different laboratories or two different rooms
in the lab were able to communicate and share
data while dreaming. So that was a big first
step in kind of mapping the dreaming neural pathways.
And I think that's fucking astonishing that we
were able to do that. Being able to play in dream
worlds, dream lives, we've all had those dreams
that we woke up and it was just like, oh my God,
that was fucking awesome. And you kind of want
to go back and revisit that dream world again,
but you never make it there. The question is
asked, are dreams just the VR headset of our
parallel lives? I mentioned in the opening the
prophetic technology. There's a prophetic halo
using the Morpheus One model. It's actually shipping.
So this is real -world tech that you can purchase
and use. It uses non -invasive ultrasound. It's
called TFUS. to induce lucid dreaming by essentially
waking up the prefrontal cortex during REM sleep.
And I had to look this thing up to see what it
was. This thing looks way more like the halo
from vanilla sky. And we talked about this in
our Cognify episode. It looks way more like that,
that halo thing that it needs to. I mean, it
is like scary. I think they just took that halo
concept and we're like, yeah, we're going with
that because this is what it needs to look like.
Um, possible. Very. There's a lot of cases where
art imitates life or inspires life. And I think
that was one of them. Uh, we, we've, we've talked
about the many worlds interpretations before.
So if our dreams are actually tunneling into
parallel versions of our lives, the halo isn't
just a headband. It would work essentially like
a tuning knob or, you could be a tuning fork.
And we're literally shifting our frequency to
a version of us that made a different choice
in another year. If you apply that to alternate
history tourism, then this is a whole different
scenario that you can branch out. We could probably
spend a whole episode talking about just this,
if this tech actually performs the way it's supposed
to. Well, if that's the case, my brain is boring
as shit because I've gone to the same place twice.
I'm like most people. I go to a mall and walk
around. That's it? Really? That's it? Was it
at least a stranger thing? That's it. Are you
kidding me? No. I'm not. Apparently, Ultiverse
could be killing themselves, apparently, is what
happens in half of my dreams. What is it? Yeah,
I've literally been to the same mall twice. I
am getting run over. Oh. I don't have brakes.
Oh, well, that's... Or, like, something happens.
Oh, yeah, it's a lot of mostly nightmares. So
if you just get to go to the mall, fuck you.
That's way more tranquil. I wonder if that's,
like, a Freudian... Yeah, this is boring as shit.
I wonder, Gibbs, if yours is, like, a Freudian
analysis of life just jackhammering you all the
time. Yeah. Here's what could have happened today.
Oh, no, that's... It's like a frickin' RPG selector
being like, oh, choice number three. No way.
Mine could just be, my brain is so wired for
violence that during the night, it's just like,
you know what? Have a moment. Yes. Going to a
happy place. Have a moment. It's not happy though.
It's boring as shit. Well, so if we can stabilize
these dreams, these kind of links to another
parallel universe, can we use them to test different
scenarios? And this kind of ties in more to lucid
dreaming, but it would be a different version
of controlled lucid dreaming where you can actually
just kind of play out a scenario that you've
got to go to sleep with and have on your mind.
What if I quit my job? What if I moved to another
city in another country? We could live test our
lives in the multiverse before committing to
them here. You know, go for a test drive essentially
on the choices you want to make. I think that's
kind of fucking awesome, honestly. So like another
way to avoid page 228. Basically, yes. That's
an awesome way to think about it. Now, here's
another kind of cool concept. Think about intellectual
property mining. If you dream of a hit song or
a movie plot in a parallel reality. If this is
real and we actually are linking into parallel
universes, who owns the copyright? Your dream
self, you, or the company that made the headband?
Oh, God. Yeah, welcome to the minutia. Well,
if you're going with a multiverse theory, then
that's still you. So then that means you own
the right. You would think. Just because a company
gave you the ability to traverse your dreams
like that doesn't mean they automatically get
the rights. Unless the end user license agreement
tries to pull some shenanigans like that. But
even then. Yeah, but whoever reads those things.
I can't see. Right. But I still can't see you
giving up all rights and reason to that company
that's giving you that ability to go, oh, guess
what? we're going to take whatever you have.
No, I don't think so, Bubba. No, you'd be able
to fight that in court. I don't think they'd
be able to make that stick. They could put that
in EULA all they want, but you'd be able to fight
that one. I think something that had me thinking
of was like, if you're talking about the concept
of theoretically being able to pull information
or experiences from the multiverse, if this exists,
And if there's infinite amount of multiverses,
theoretically, we, we, we would never, we would
never know if there's a way to test it or not.
Right. So it, it is the weird way of then technically
all information is accessible to all people at
all times. Effectively. Yes. So it's almost like
nothing. You own nothing. Right. As you can own
everything. Now, I could see them being allowed
a portion of proceeds because they provided the
link to acquire the information. And as long
as it was a small enough percentage, I would
probably be okay with that. Like if it was capped
at a few percentages or something, because you
would have never had access to the knowledge
without it. But here's the problem is everyone
has access to that technology. If that's something
that's commercially available. So you good luck
having, if this technology became commercially
common, good luck having a unique or independent
or first time thought idea, business model, anything.
Because effectively while people are sleeping
if they can access everything I mean that that
you almost that's like a time dilation thing
where you can do whatever you want for Four to
six hours a night. I mean shit. You can't tell
me the first person won't be like Elon Musk or
Jeff Bezos or one of those types. Yeah to be
like, ah, yes Let's fire the multiverse which
which is the best way possible to make money
You know, how do I make transparent aluminum?
Let's go. Well, they've already made that so
oh damn. Yeah, they did make And it wasn't from
some Scottish guy talking into a mouse, you know.
Dang. I was going to say, it's strong, but it's
not as strong as they tried to make it out to
be. It's still really strong, though. Yeah. It's
a transparent tin at that point. Yeah, kind of.
So we have something that they're calling the
theory of non -local consciousness. And it posits
that. When our physical senses are suppressed
during REM sleep, our actual consciousness acts
as a quantum tuner for other versions of ourselves.
There's some research that came out of Kyoto,
Japan, late last year and has already been kind
of updated this year, that have advanced, and
I'm going to butcher the fuck out of this word,
oneography? Oneography? using AI to reconstruct
visual videos of dreams from brain scans with
roughly 70 % fidelity. Now, I think that we mentioned
that in another episode because we had talked
about people using this to scan other people's
brains and whether or not that was invasive because
our brains are supposed to be our last bastion
of privacy. And if this tech gets into the wrong
hands, then are we in 1984 with the thought police?
Because, damn. It would depend on if you've had
politicians decide, oh, what you do in your sleep
can be bad. Yeah. Well, again, this all links
back to once something like Neuralink becomes
commonplace. you will have nothing that is your
own yeah i hate to say it but the whole davos
thing of you will own nothing and you'll be happy
that includes your thoughts ladies and gentlemen
that includes your feelings your emotions that
will include everything about your existence
you just every time gibbs talk i get sad yeah
you're welcome used to be me uh you just kind
of made me remember there's a an episode of black
mirror where to be able to travel in certain
places they have to rewind your memories to scan
and make sure that you haven't done something
or certain things in a certain time frame. I
think that that could be kind of like a step
towards that direction. Thought scanning, memory
scanning, that kind of stuff. This podcast, oddly
enough, turns into a lot of Black Mirror comparison
stuff. And it's odd because we've never intentionally
done that. But I think that it just kind of shows
that art imitating life, imitating art is really
kind of a big pathway. Well, just like most sci
-fi, it has to be based on some sort of reality.
So it's pretty easy to see where we're going
to be. Yeah. They just happen to be really, really
spot on. Yeah. 90 % of the time. Scarily spot
on. Yeah. It's like The Simpsons. Uh -huh. At
some point, The Simpsons is right. Yeah. Or what's
his name? It's eluding me now. The tired of putting
chemicals in the water and turning the freaking
frogs gay guy. Alex Jones, thank you. Dude, you
wait long enough, he's right. He's been right
way too many times. That's what bothers me. It
turns the frogs gay. Put the shit in the water
and turn them the freaking frogs gay. You know
what, though? We can't talk about the details
on stream, but all I can say is with all the
Epstein files that have come out in the last
week, everybody owes that man. A huge apology.
Everybody. Because he has been screaming, ranting,
raving like a lunatic for 25 years, and all that
comes out. He should be allowed to go up to every
American and shove his middle finger in their
face. Like, no, you can't sue him, no nothing,
because Jesus Christ, there's so much that's
coming out. Right. But not to divert, but...
Yeah. Diverting is what we do on this show. It's
okay. It makes us better. It just keeps it entertaining.
So if if we think of the brain, not as a hard
drive, but more of a radio. During the day, we're
tuned into station one. That's our actual physical
life. During sleep, during REM sleep, especially
the signal drops and we start to pick up another
station. We'll call that station to a version
of you that. moved to Chicago when you were 25
or learned to play the guitar or something like
that. Or one that's actually kind of similar
to you as you are now, except that you're really
into feet. Yeah. Feet people are weird. Yeah.
Especially with the cream corn fetish. Oh yeah.
Or mashed potatoes. That's, that's a big one.
Yeah. Yeah. What? No. Don't ask me. I don't want
to. Actually, now that I think about it, please
continue. I don't want to know. The look on his
face said he was asking questions that he just
didn't want the answers to. I realized very quickly
I, in fact, do not want that answer. Please.
He had questions for me and then realized, oh,
Pip is here. He'll answer. No. Yeah. Brain caught
up. Yep. No. Brain caught up with the ladder.
The pleasure story all over again. Feet people
are very weird. They're a special breed. And
it's funny how the feet thing gets wired in or
gets miswired with the whole pleasure center
of the brain because it's so close. It's just
odd. Here's a genuine thing. Is that like a trauma
thing or is that just more like a chemical imbalance
thing? Yeah, it's not so much a chemical thing.
It's just the way the brain gets wired. Those
two centers of the brain are, like, so close
that sometimes the wires kind of, like, sloop
over. And, yeah. You know, as an atheist, I don't
believe there's a God. But, however, that does
seem highly comical. Mm -hmm. Yeah. Well, that's
just, like, this one comedian joked how, you
know, the wife wanted him to blow dry the kid's
ass after he wiped his butt to kind of dry it
out. And he's like, great. This is going to be
a therapy bill in 20 years for him because he's
going to go to a prostitute and tell her, you
know, just blow dry my butt. Oh, wow. That's
funny. Yeah, I guess it's better than high heels
and a nut nut kick. So. Those ones I really don't
understand. Right. Right. Or the guys who like
to. Get things tugged on a little too hard. Yep.
Start the lawnmower. Yes, remember people, pull
slowly. Gives a whole new meaning to a rubbing
tug. Tug not a yank, there is a tug. God. Oh,
we are so far off topic. God damn, you're going
so hard, he's just screaming. Okay, let's try
to steer this back on topic. Where were we? If
we use 2026 tech, like the Halo headband, to
stabilize those signals that we were talking
about, are we essentially remote viewing our
own alternate lives? Could you learn a skill
from your parallel self who actually went to
med school? And this is a concept that it's very
matrix -like, but it's probably one of the most
promising that this tech could offer. It changes
the whole vibe of reality because we wouldn't
be just consuming media. We would be consuming
alternate biographies. So if you think about
the alternate dimensional cable from the episodes
of Rick and Morty, something like that. So imagine
a 2026 app or 20 in the future, 2027, 28, where
you kind of just log into your dream self's progress
like another LinkedIn profile. And you can just
kind of pick and choose the skills that you want
to link into and then go to sleep that night.
And, oh, you wake up tomorrow and now, you know.
everything about this topic or or that field
it's it's fucking just yeah it's matrix like
but holy shit the potential it offers that way
that but do you get to choose or is it going
to be like on this night in alternate gibbs he's
bareback riding an alligator down 95 like like
do you get to choose or is it just like whatever
you happen to get like It could be a very weird
combination. Like, you might have gone to medical
school, but it involved you riding bareback on
an alligator down I -95. I can only do this orthoscopic
surgery on the back of a saltwater gator. In
an alternate world, they never developed the
scalpel, so you have to use the talons of an
alligator, so you have to go to save this man's
life. I have to hunt these alligators to get
the... You could do some wacky stuff. That would
be the weird thing, though. Why does surgery
take 13 hours? It's a five -minute procedure.
I had to get a gator, too. I had a gator. We
live in fucking Alaska. That's a tough one. You
know what, though? I wonder how many... Oh, sorry.
You go. I was going to say, that zoo person's
going to be pissed. Uh -huh. You know what, though?
I wonder how many versions of the world you could
see without very critical advancements. Imagine
being like, I wonder how the world looks in 2025
without the invention of the wheel. Click. And
just see what actually happened. Or like, hey,
we never developed nuclear weapons during World
War II. I wonder how this went. Click. It would
just be awesome. I'd just like scrolling through
to see what the hell happened. Yeah. There'd
be a lot of dead people, that's for damn sure.
Yep. A lot more dead people. Yeah. I see the
estimates for the end of World War II. Oh, yeah.
We went on foot into Japan. Yeah. Oh, my God.
You're not wrong. Massive. Because their propaganda
was amazing. They were so scared of us towards
the end of the war that they were jumping off
cliffs when we take over a village and try to
tell them it's okay. They were petrified. They
would suicide constantly. With the rest of their
family. Just jump over the cliff. Bye. To be
fair, they shot at our boats. We don't take kindly
to that. That is true. You don't touch our boats.
I have one last quick interjection before I move
on. We were talking about the writing down 95
on the back of the alligator. Do you guys know
how to tell the difference between an alligator
and a crocodile? One will see you later. The
other will see you after a while. Fuck off. One's
fresh water, one's salt water. I know this. One's
kind of salty and the other one's just kind of
grumpy. Terrible dad joke for 2026. There we
go. You guys remember how it was discussed and
even theorized. at the end of 2024, beginning
2025, there was a new quantum chip that came
out. I want to say it was Willow chip from Microsoft.
That those chips were potentially tapping into
alternate realities to complete the calculations
that they were doing as fast as they were doing
them. So what if that type of connection is possible
for our minds? So imagine being able to go to
sleep. Maybe in a controlled manner and you could
essentially just search the various skills or
the various realities of you and learn those
skills that you've already learned. And this
is what we were talking about is just you have
the LinkedIn kind of app. You have the ability
to search the realities and you can pick and
choose which reality you want to kind of connect
to and harness that knowledge. And I made this
point this way for a reason. Now, it's a very
Matrix -esque line of thought. But the issue
is that this approach might actually be a lot
closer to reality than you would think. Here's
a thought with all that. What if you're using
that for a mental therapy, right? And your whole
persona of yourself and your inner thoughts is...
I'm just, I'm worthless. There's nothing great
about me. So you're using this to kind of make
yourself better, right? What happens if you really
are the worst self of all the realities? No,
no. If there's infinite realities, there's infinite
versions of you. So you can always find a version
that's quote unquote better or worse. There's
no limit. I don't know. There might not be a
limit, but. What if you're just down on that
far on the Richter scale that you just find out
that I've really effed up in life and I should
have done this and not done that and I wouldn't
be in the situation I am now. Then find the one
where you figured it out and just follow that
one. Right. Because, again, if it's infinite,
that's the thing. There is no, like, if the multiverse,
parallel universe, whatever theory, was an infinite
amount of options, that means you just got to
scroll long enough to find it. Sure, you might
be spending the next 97 years scrolling infinitely
through universes to see which one's the one
that you did all these specific combinations
of things, and you're at this point, you need
the answer, but it would be possible. Yeah. Yeah.
Now, here... I'm just saying. Here's a question...
That could be so bad for your psyche, though.
Oh, yeah. Especially, God forbid, someone's like
an alcoholic or abuses drugs or whatever. They
get home and they look at that. You have to put
some safeties on for stuff like that. Or is that
the case of this technology be so invasive and
powerful? I wonder if something like that would
just never be available to the public in that
way. I wonder if it would be like limited or
locked or kind of like. You almost have to go
to a memory parlor kind of place where you can
rent a unit because it's going to be a lot of
money and only the rich people have it. Or it
might be the case that it's just so powerful
and so influential that it might not be available
to everybody because of the mass panic and destruction
that could cause. Because I don't know if people
would lose their grasp on reality. Have you spent
the entire time sleeping? Watching the reaction
of a good portion of this country, the way it's
acting right now, oh, I think that's exactly
what would happen. Yeah, I could see that. Yeah.
Yeah. I feel like, honestly, I hate to say it,
but a lot of the experiments we were doing in
the early 2000s, I really feel like has kind
of, like, enabled a lot of this crap and stuff
to happen. I firmly believe that when they turned
on CERN in 2012 and started doing some crazy
stuff. All of this is spewed from there. Yes.
Well, you have the one experiment that the CIA
did where they were trying to see if they could...
What was it they were trying to do there? They
were basically trying to take a large amount
of people and redirect their thoughts and ideas
to a certain angle. And now you have that...
taking place on a global scale where the media
is able to 24 7 tell people this is what we think
is going on and then slowly skew the information
in such a way that it's making people think well
this is right well they're wrong they're the
enemy no we have to follow this or oh my god
these people are right there this side's the
enemy and nobody's getting a concrete thought
of what they should be following and because
of the fact you have ai in the mix now now nobody
knows what's real nobody knows what's true and
what's fake i mean you've got con you have two
democrats in texas right now saying snow is fake
how the hell are we in 2026 and you got two grown
-ass adults saying snow is fake well well and
then you want to intermix but this kind of technology
into things oh my god people are gonna lose their
minds so the the whole snow is fake thing um
is being perpetrated by a lot of videos where
people are trying to melt snow and it's not melting
yeah it's because it's mostly that's a chemical
issue yeah but that's a chemical issue because
we're so polluted at this point i'm not even
shocked by that but it still melts if they just
put it in a warm room except they're taking a
blowtorch to it i wonder why it's like it's like
that's not how that works right right you take
a blow torch or something it's the same principle
if you have a wet hand you stick it in a hot
metal and pull it right back out guess what you're
not going to have a burnt hand because the water
protects your skin because it creates that steam
barrier yeah same concept well a lot of people
didn't pay attention in science class or in most
classes clearly like health so there's a lot
of things that they just didn't learn so uh gibbs
do you want to take this uh next section here
the the plantum phenomenon absolutely oh i thought
that's where we were and i'm totally ahead get
with the program All right. In 2025 and 2026,
thousands of users on shifting forums have reported
persistent dream worlds, places they return to
every night for decades with constant geography,
people and alternate memories. I will be honest
with you. I don't have one that's consistent
every time, but I do have two different scenarios
that I will revisit at least once a month. Oh,
wow. It's a continuing story. So I don't have.
consistent uh scenarios but i have a consistent
kind of thing that happens and it's it happens
in like different places all the time and i'll
i'll tell you kind of what it's it's kind of
embarrassing and hilarious i glide i don't fly
i don't do anything else but i can like glide
really fast and it's weird frozen kind of yes
but moving around places very quickly And it's
like this gliding motion. It's a fat zone. Okay.
And I don't understand it, but I can get around
town very quickly by doing it. I've done it in
my backyard, essentially. I've done it through
town. I've done it through houses. Houses that
were mine. Do you know that requires oil? No,
it does not. You look like a menacing T -pose.
You look like a glitched out character from an
RPG just gliding. You better watch out. The oil
company's going to come after you. No, from what
I remember, it's more like a skater's pose. Okay.
You're the silver surfer. That's who you are.
I hate the ones where you go to the house that
you know is yours, but it's not yours because
there are definitely things that are different.
And then you wake up and you're just like, am
I in my house or not? I have the creepy one.
So my house was built in 1739. My house is old
as shit. And I have a creepy one. My hallway
becomes infinitely long and I end up walking
for hours. Oh, yeah. Hours. And like there's
like an almost infinite echo whenever I talk
and I finally find the set of stairs. But then
for some reason, someone pushes me down the stairs
and I fall down that infinitely for like an hour.
That was a great one. I love that one. Now, here's
my question to either one of you feel. I don't
have dreams. I don't feel pain, but I have woken
up with pain in places where I was hurt in the
dream. Now I have dreamed something that was,
it felt so real that when I woke up, I thought
I was still asleep. Like I fell asleep into a
dream and come to find out that I was awake.
Oh, inception dreaming is terrifying. Where you
wake up in a dream and you're still in a dream.
So like the sleep paralysis where you're like
still engaged in it, but you're still seeing
the dream even though you're awake. I've had
that happen a couple of times. I do experience
pain in dreams and stuff like that. So some of
those more violent dreams are not very fun. But
what I want to mention with the sleep paralysis,
the reason why I want to bring this into it,
do you think that is a glitch in the connection?
You're still somewhat connected, and you're like,
it's like an error where it's like you're logging
out, but not really still kind of getting signals,
still trying to wake up. You're like a little,
like a, yeah. Interdimensional lag. Oh, God.
Man, that sucks. Could you imagine? I had that
a couple of times. It was probably the most terrifying
experience of my life. Yeah. Dealing with one
of those. Here's the crazy part. What if you
can't come out of it and you're stuck in between?
That could explain some mental issues, I think.
I actually have that a little bit later on. So,
yeah. All right, back to it. So talk about alternate
memories here. People are waking up from dreams
that have lasted for 20 years in a single night.
They have grief for children they never had in
this reality. How does society function when
half the population is homesick for a universe
that doesn't exist here? Yeah, I've never had
one last like 20 years, but I've definitely had
some where it felt like a good four to six months.
Yeah, a significant amount of time has passed
in that dream world. Then you wake up and you're
just like, oh. Oh yeah, you still have all the
memories from it? Yeah, again, it's like that
game in Rick and Morty where he plays as the
old guy. That's the only thing. It's like when
I have like one for an extended period of time,
I do have a big problem trying to remember anything.
But I will be aware that like it seemed to last
forever. Let's see. There is something known
as the law of identity of indiscernible. If your
dream self has your DNA, your brain structure
and your memories up until a certain branching
point. Oh, it's called Roy. Roy. That's yes.
Yes. That was the name. Thank you. Sorry. That's
okay. Didn't mean to interrupt. All good. And
your memory is up until a certain branching point
that is you. You aren't dreaming about someone,
you are being them. Which makes sense in that
way. Yeah. The lateral move, quantum therapy.
If you're depressed in this life, but you can't
tune in to a parallel life where you're thriving,
does that help you or does it make this reality
feel like a prison? Again, kind of like what
we discussed before, probably a little bit of
both. Just like with anything else, it depends
on how you use it. Yeah. Because, I mean, boy,
you're going to feel really bad if you end up
flipping through that. You're like, wow, I could
have been as rich as Jeff Bezos. It's like, oh,
yeah, I OD'd and died in a river. Okay, let's
go to the next one. Or you go to one and it's
like, oh, I'm a bum on the street sucking dick
for $20. Great. You have a drug addiction. He's
just smoking weed. He's okay. Bob Saget over
there, you know? So it's, again, like anything
else, it would be how you use it. Yes. Assuming,
though, I think that's assuming that you'd be
able to understand 100 % of what's going on.
Because I guess also the other thing to consider
is in alternate universes, you're going to see
somewhere like the laws of physics might be different
or a lot of things might not be the same. Or
you're assuming it applies with all the same.
Basic rules. Evolutionary traits. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah. Like you're going to go to one. It's like,
oh, my God. Everybody has hot dog fingers. That's
what I was getting at. If it's infinite. Yeah.
This could get really weird really quickly. Or
you go to that one alternate universe where they
pronounce Parmesian that way. Yeah, I can't.
I don't. Nope. Nope. Aluminium or however the
British pronounce it. What is it? Aluminium.
Yes. Yes. Aluminium. Yeah, there's only one eye.
Do you want me to continue? Yeah, go ahead and
finish up that last point. I'm American. Cool.
Can this be used for trauma therapy? replaying
a recurring nightmare but editing the visual
files in real time to help the patient overcome
the fear we could begin treating the subconscious
like a video file yeah i mean you could i wonder
how effective that is so that would essentially
entail finding an alternate reality where similar
events happened with dissimilar outcomes and
you just kind of replay the scenario and tailor
edit the outcome to achieve a better outcome
and kind of download the after effect more or
less you know i think what i'm realizing in all
this is it would take a monumental amount of
time i think this this is i think kind of the
problem of the whole thing is that being able
to get all this information search through all
the multiverses and infinite to be able to find
exactly what you're looking for holy hell well
again that's that's probably what ai is going
to do no okay valid valid i mean i'm sure the
person who got their hand blown apart from a
flash definitely be on something like this yeah
what would happen if i didn't catch that you
might have all your digits well life lesson kids
if that thing's gonna explode don't touch it
yeah that's right alone yeah Do you want me to
start reading that? Unless Gibbles wants to take
this next one. The quantum bleed. I've always
seen the read. Mmm, bleed. It's not that time
of the month, right? Unless you're having your
man period. Your myriad. Mmm, I say. Ah, Gibbles,
do you need some chocolate? Fuck no. no amount
of money the data point is that orc dash or is
that what that is or i don't know orc theory
orc theory space orcs orcs yes you got the ogres
choice here with the penrose and hammer off as
of 2026 We are looking for evidence that the
microtubules in our neurons are actually interacting
with space -time geometry of the multiverse.
This explains deja vu. Oh, it's not a brain glitch.
It's a moment of coherence where two versions
of you in two different universes perform the
exact same action at the exact same time. The
signals bleed across the stack. A lot of the
theories of multiverses and parallel universes
is that they all exist kind of in the same space,
just phased and phase shifted essentially. So
everyone's occupying the same space. You just
can't see them because different plane of existence
more or less. But if you do the same thing at
the same time, that's that kind of deja vu glitch
where something just kind of happened. And you're
both saying. Yeah, I occasionally get these like
really bad dizzy spells where it's just like
a physical feeling, like everything just kind
of like a record under a DJ's hand, like a real
bad, you know, twist or something. And it's this
really odd sensation where something feels like
it changed. And it's hard to explain, but it's.
It happens every so often. My doctor told me
that it's just probably my heart pressure. Well,
you know, I had all my heart stuff done recently,
so my heart is good. I know it's not that. Go
ahead and continue. All right. So if the 2026
Kyoto Oniography dream recording can capture
those, we might have our first visual evidence
of a parallel universe. We're not looking through
a telescope. We're looking through an fMRI scan.
This creates a new type of privacy crisis, mind
you. If your parallel self commits a crime in
their universe and you witness it in a recorded
dream, are you now the witness? The accomplice?
The law isn't ready for a multiversal testimony.
Well, that would also have to entail, are you
interacting in such a way that... People know
that in this realm, you saw this crime take place,
but yet in your reality, that didn't take place.
How would you go back and forth like that? Because
then that makes it seem like, okay, we're able
to communicate with the other side like that,
with the other dimension. And I think that ultimately
is an outcome that people want to achieve. Because
if we can communicate with other people, universes
there's a whole different dynamic that can be
had with life and existence in and of itself
right god i hope you don't figure it out yeah
no because before like i said before i'm kind
of boring well before long people are going to
want to try to figure out how to move between
realities because if we can do it with data then
why not you know physical stuff Yeah, I will
say, though, if we can do that, first thing I'm
doing is trying to find a reality where there's
magic, and I'm going there. I don't care. I'll
make it happen. The chances are 0 at that point.
It is a non -zero chance. I can use the wizard
spell testicular torture. Titanium balls. That's
right. Or tungsten balls, that's what it is.
Go for it. Tungsten balls. Tungsten balls. Just
to watch somebody drop to their knees going,
why? And then add in manual breathing to it.
Oh, yeah. Oh, God. I guess my concern will be
once we know we have the technology to traverse
that, that means other parallel universes have
the technology to traverse it. And I'm not ready
for the multiverse of war. Like, let's think
about it. If America has enough nuclear weapons
and stuff to take over the rest of the world,
imagine an infinite amount of Americas and infinite
amount of Russias and Chinas all vying for basically,
you know, infinite supremacy. Nah, this is going
to get, because you know the military is going
to be the first people to get their hands on
this. Well, think about this, Gibbs. That means
there's oil in other multiverses that we haven't
taken yet. I know. As Gibble's eyes perk up.
Or there's other universes where the United States
controls the entire planet. We have all the oil.
So we pop over there and say, Gibby, Gibby. Or
there's other worlds that it's like Mad Max,
where there are no organized factions. So it's
like, hey, we could just conquer this world.
It's going to get wild. Very. So let's hope we
never get past the dream thing. Let's stay there.
Yeah. So speaking of the dream thing, we have
the sovereign dream. The threat of dream advertising.
This is something we've talked about a couple
times. Corporations in 2026 are trying to use
audio priming to steer these parallel universe
glimpses toward consumer products. So imagine
that you're finally connecting with your alternate
universe wife and suddenly a 2026 McDonald's
ad bleeds into the dream because your smart speaker
heard you snoring. It's the ultimate violation
of the mirror self. And if you guys remember
Futurama, one of the early episodes, Fry was
dreaming and he had an ad for underwear beamed
into his head and he woke up and asked about
it, was told that that's totally normal. Because
that's just how they advertise to people in the
year 3000. Yeah. I would commit unspeakable war
crimes if someone did that to me non -consensually.
I already have my next business model right there.
Just a Faraday cage for your bedroom. Yeah. Or
you could just use tinfoil. You can have a good
night's sleep. Just wrap tinfoil around your
head and you have a Faraday cage for your head.
That's true. That's true. But what if you just
want to be comfortable without the hat? Yeah.
Yeah. The Faraday blanket. Yes. Oh, that. Yeah.
Yeah. The Snuggie edition. The Faraday Snuggie.
The Faraday pillow. Get to the whole Faraday
collection here. Yes. That's right. So we would
essentially need the right to an untouched subconscious.
In a world where every waking second is monetized,
our parallel lives are the last frontier of unconsumed
reality. We would have to keep them invisible
and make it so that they couldn't be touched,
especially when we don't have, I can't think
of the right word, but authority to allow the
yes or no to accept the advertising. Maybe we
don't go to sleep. Maybe we just switch which
version of the multiverse we are currently observing.
This life is just the one we happen to agree
on today. And that could be a form of something
that I'm going to talk about here in just a little
bit. Someone in our observation group there also
mentioned brain block. Kind of like ad block,
but for your brain. Yeah, that could be a thing.
But the only thing is, I was going to say before
you go on, I just had this thought. The only
thing with that. Is there the free edition like
Adblock has now? So every once in a while, there's
an update and you get the ad saying, hey, please
donate right before you start your journey. Oh,
that would be, that'd be kind of torture. Just
random thought. Yeah. If I have to pay $1 .99
to have my fucking dream after a whole day of
working, I will be the angriest panda. I will
be. So bad. And you don't do it to just humans.
You do it to all wildlife. Watch how fast all
the animals are just going to become angry. Well,
they wouldn't understand it. And confused. And
confused at the same time. Yeah. Oh, God. Those
poor fish. The octopus might get it. All the
dolphins half awake all the time. Yep. Oh, yeah.
And maybe the dolphins, maybe. Let me see. The
chimpanzees would definitely understand. They
would be pissed. They'd be violent beyond all
recognition. Uh -huh. They would become intelligent
and rise up just to piss us off and stop the
ads. This is how we start Planet of the Apes
by accident is all this bullshit. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
The first words is going to be, I will not pay.
I will not pay the one. Magic reference. All
right. So we've got the alternate U angle. There's
dream architecture. Why do we dream of familiar
houses that have extra rooms? And the theory
on this is you're seeing the floor plan of your
house in a universe where you had extra kids
or more kids. I wouldn't be alive then. Stranger
familiarity. Meeting somebody in a dream that
you don't know, but loving them instantly or
having an emotional connection to them. The theory
on that is that you're actually married to them
in the universe that you just tuned into. The
grip. Why is it hard to remember dreams? We've
all had that instance where we've woken up from
a dream that we really wanted to remember. but
you just can't no matter what. The theory is
the local consciousness is trying to overwrite
the non -local data to keep you grounded here
and make sure that you stay in this reality and
not that one. And we have quantum immortality.
Dreaming of a near -death experience. The theory
is that you actually died in that universe and
your consciousness shifted. back onto this one
before the death actually occurred there and
that could be there's that that could be because
yeah maybe there's some kind of a connection
where if you die in that one you die in real
life kind of like in some of the movies we've
seen yeah i've actually seen a uh a thing that
posited the idea that say you wanted to try to
prove the multiverse right And the way you would
do it is you would take a gun, put it to your
head, and squeeze the trigger. Now, there's going
to be existences or different universes where
the gun doesn't go off. You survive. And then
there's universes where it does go off. Good
night. Love you. It does go off. And you die
in those ones. But the thing is, how do you prove
it? because you can't because in the universes
where you died well you know you everybody sees
that and they're just like well i guess there's
no multiverse because mfr died right but in the
ones that you don't die how do you tell people
look done gun didn't go off obviously i you know
there's more than one realm is you know you still
know that you know you're alive you shouldn't
be but yet you are right So there's a lot to
think about with everything that we've talked
about so far. So I have some questions for all
of our listeners. And again, I encourage people
to chime in either on Discord or Facebook, Instagram,
email, whatever, wherever. You know, hit us up
and tell us your answers because we genuinely
do want to know, especially. What the listeners
think. So the skill swap, if you actually could
download a talent or a skill set from one of
your most successful parallel selves, but you
had to give up one of your current memories or
skill sets, would you do it? So in an even exchange?
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. You would. I have
quite a few memory. I've got quite a few that
if I could forget about it, I'd be happy as hell.
Right. But now that brings up an ethical question.
Is it ethical to essentially steal that information
and trade it for negative information? You know,
you're trading a positive for a negative. That's
not a net benefit for them. What kind of a say
do they have in that transaction? So that sucks
to be them. Yeah. There's the paradox. If you
meet your parallel self at a stable lucid dream,
do you cooperate or compete for control of the
body? So you have met yourself in an alternate
universe and you're trying to kind of control
things in this dream state. Are you just trying
to kind of act as an observer or are you trying
to kind of take over? and actually pilot the
dream and then the interaction. Hmm. Well, considering
of all the times I've gone to sleep and woke
up, not really sure that's how it works. Well,
again, we don't know. Maybe with the Halo. I
don't know. I know pretty well. I go to sleep
every night, and I tend to remember the good
dreams there when they're loose and shit. And
with all the meds I've been on lately, I seem
to remember a lot of my dreams. I don't run into
that problem. Okay. Would you pay a subscription
fee, we'll call it $50 a month, for a DreamTuner
that guaranteed... you would see the same parallel
life every night, essentially letting you live
like the movie Family Man with Nick Cage, where
he gets an extended glimpse of another life that
he could have had. And if you have not seen that
movie, I highly recommend it. It's a good one.
Now, when you're paying this monthly subscription,
is it where you're given this one universe, you're
stuck with it until you decide the next month,
hey? I didn't like it. Let's try another one.
Or is it, you know, you get to pick and choose,
you know, I guess you find out, you know, cause
I mean, God forbid you find out 50 bucks a month
and there's only one other reality and it's way
worse than what you have, but there's no way
to stop the subscription until the 30 days is
up. Like, I would hope that there are some options
as far as that goes, but yeah. I guess my question
would be more or less is, do you take any of
the psychological effects with you? Or does it
just kind of happen, you remember, as a memory
without the psychological aspect of it? Only
because. If you could go to other dreams and
other universes and experience whatever you want,
yo -ho, I'm becoming a pirate. And I am sailing
the high seas and doing whatever the fuck I want.
But that being said, I also don't want to deal
with the trauma of... Doing said pirate activities
and coming home and being like, oh, yes, hi,
honey, how you doing? Oh, I just murdered 97
people and stole a bunch of shit and did all
a bunch of like, you know what I mean? I wonder,
I guess that's my question. Would you be able
to do that without altering who you are as a
person? I would assume that if you're doing that,
you would probably carry back some level of information.
So maybe. I don't know. It, it's, it's a very
wide possibility to, uh, to explore. And I, I
would love to have an extended conversation with
people on that because I think there's a lot
of very fun and deep concepts that could come
out of it. Oh yeah. Like dream plus. Okay. Yeah.
I see that. Yeah. Just another thousand dollars
a month. You know, they can wipe the consequences
from your brain. Right. Uh, so the, the very
last and most recent episode of black mirror,
Watch that one. Just watch that one. That's all
you got to do. Subscription -based life services.
That's it. Any type of subscription -based life
service. Is it on a beanbag chair? Yeah, no.
I mean, literally. We've talked about a lot of
different things. The upload scenario, the halos,
just literally any kind of subscription -based
life service. Watch that very last episode of
Black Mirror that's available right now. I cannot
remember the name of it, but the guy is trying
to support his wife. Watch that episode because
that is exactly how corporate anything is going
to take it. Are you talking about the one with
the guy in the end starts his own videos because
he's trying to keep his wife's lucid and everything?
Yeah, that one was messed up. Yeah. I'm sorry,
that one's messed up so bad. That one hurt my
soul a little bit to watch. And lastly, the Dr.
Jekyll theory. Now, this one was entirely me
speaking, and it kind of ties back into the paradox.
So this is what I wanted to posit to all the
listeners. What if all of this is true and while
tapping into an alternate reality, it becomes
possible to fully and completely latch onto another
you and essentially slide into that universe?
Or the reverse happens and another you gets into
your mind. Could this explain things like certain
mental conditions or personality changes? Or
if a person's life is going in one direction
and they're able to see a way into a different
life, Could they or would they take it and just
overwrite another version of them to do it? And
the bigger question on that scenario is if you
take over your own self in another universe,
is it murder? Okay, so there's a lot to write
down there. Yeah, I know there's kind of a lot
there, but this kind of came to me when I was
writing all the notes here. this was just kind
of one of those like big, deep, dark thoughts
that kind of like Zoidberg sand crapped into
my head. And I'm curious to get your guys' thoughts.
Well, well, I would say as long as it's just
you, if you were to take over your own self,
you're really not, it's not really a murder in
a sense because it's still you. But is it just
with different life experiences? It's not you.
It's a whole different universe, dude. Because
you are the sum of all your experiences. So if
I copied you as a clone and then change something
about your upbringing, I don't think that's the
same person. Right. Because I hear what you're
saying. Technically, they're all you. But if
they have different experiences, they're not.
Because that's the thing. If we're talking like,
you know, if every universe is a slight change
from everyone and you look at it like, okay,
you're in a little pocket of your own universe
there. And every time you make a decision, it
slowly branches out into millions upon millions
upon millions of different universes. You know,
since obviously it's a... Not a finite amount
of space out there. So then at that point, if
you're only discussing like since I can't talk,
the universes that were only like slight changes
from yourself, that's still technically you.
But if you're talking about a change to a change
to a change times a thousand. OK, yeah, that's
no longer yourself. That's something totally
different. But I'm talking like in a situation
where, okay, I ate a grilled cheese last week,
but then my alternate self ate a Reuben sandwich.
And then, you know, 10 minutes ago, I decided
to have a drink. Whereas 10 minutes ago, I may
have decided to go take a leak and come on downstairs
forgetting that I wanted to have a drink. You
know, if you're talking about yourself in that
instance, I can't see that as murder because
of the fact it's still technically you. But again,
if you're talking about someone who is now removed
from you by like a thousand different choices
or a hundred thousand different choices, yeah,
then I'd have to agree that that's really no
longer you. And, you know, you, you could almost
argue that that might actually just be murdering
yourself. Digital seppuku. Yeah. So Gibbs, what
do you think? I would think because it is a different
entity, and if we have to argue that the consciousness
can exist outside the body via either upload
or to a digital computer, some sort of digital
asset, or even to another body, like a straight
transfer of consciousness, therefore, even though
something else can have 99 .99999 % of all the
same experiences and upbringing, they would still
be different. So I would argue... would it be
murder to technically take over another like
parallel universes body? I would say technically
yes, but I think the catch 22 because they can't
really consent. But then again, it's one of those
things like you can't also ask them to consent
to something like that. So it's kind of like,
it's a moral gray area of like, are you killing
them? Yes. Are they independent? Yes. However,
can you ask them? No. So is it really a choice?
No. I guess that's the way I kind of look at
it. I know from my standpoint, if it was me,
no matter what, if it's a better situation, it's
always going to be yes. Do it. I'm not going
to remember anyways. One of us is going to remember.
Go for it. You currently going to another universe,
you would be transferring into that. so like
you would end up compounding so then yeah so
here's a question for you then what would you
call somebody like a multiversal spirit or somebody
that what they do is they go to the different
multiverses of themselves learn everything they
can and they go to the next one and then just
keep going like that that spirit of that multiversal
person just keeps you know um harvesting information
and data and learning the one That's what I was
thinking. Like a multiversal parasite or something.
A multiversal ass. Yeah, the multiversal ass.
He just doesn't give a shit. Aids of the multiverse.
I don't know. Yeah. But it could be the case
that you could be that person that's just like,
oh, this one's cool. I'll stay here for a while.
Oh, yeah, there's another one where I became
the president. Bing! Goes to that one. Yes. I'm
going to start a nuclear war and immediately
look for another way out. In this other one,
I was Genghis Khan. I'll go to that one. If you
wanted to be a big enough asshole, you could
essentially be a multidimensional terrorist.
Yeah. You could. As long as you knew for a fact
there was a way out before you started anything.
Yeah, you absolutely could. be an ass in the
multiverse. You could be Doctor Strange if you
wanted, or if things go really bad, you're going
to be Dormammu. All roads lead to Dormammu. Yeah.
Man. So yeah, I wanted to bring that up because
I feel like the way that humanity is, the way
that some people just inherently are, you know,
it's something that could happen. I mean, It
can't just be in this reality that some people
are just inherently bad or will do bad things.
So it was a thought that I had. I have a thought
about this, actually. I was just kind of putting
all the pieces together here. How much do you
want to bet that in the future, companies are
going to look at people with healthy bodies that
have taken care of themselves and are going to
say, hey, we could transfer you to a dimension
or multiverse where you're a billionaire? We
just want your body because someone else, some
rich millionaire who's dying, needs something
to live in. How much do you want to bet there
would eventually be some sort of business model
where they take younger, healthy people that
have no chance of doing anything with their lives,
either the crippled or the economy or debt or
anything else, and they say, oh, just, you know,
we'll transfer you. It's fine. Just a little
button. We'll just transfer you. It's okay. Go
live out your life somewhere else. But we want
you in this universe. That would be a hard sell
because how are you going to tell that person,
you know, this is what's really happening and
we're not just blanking your mind out and we're
just taking your body. Yeah, it's. It's the concept
of selling property on the moon. Yeah. Yeah,
I could definitely see it happening. Or if it's
like an overpopulation problem. Yeah. I hate
to say it, but I fully expect there would be
some countries that would say, oh, yes, this
group of useless people that we can no longer
afford to take care of. Bye -bye. China. So you
ain't green as people. Have fun in the multiversal
lottery. Right. assigns you a multiverse at random
and shoots your consciousness out to it and uh
see how you do oh you know what it's another
day of food you know what that could also be
used as a very very weird form of punishment
yeah oh i didn't think about that till just now
oh yeah send them to a universe where everything
is like hell yeah like event horizon yes i was
just thinking about that oh god yeah that could
oh man yeah the whole the whole movie with you
know the dr grant they're going crazy yes we're
going to hell yes we are best way to go too he's
just with an explosion baby yeah and there's
there's been movies about the whole body swap
too that's uh yeah but the crazy part is with
the horizon that was an excellent example of
ptsd at the end of the movie oh fuck yeah it
was and how the body and how the body reacts
that was that was so now all these years later
now i'm older and think experienced and everything
with life and seeing things i've seen i'm just
like i've watched it in a movie and i'm like
oh my god that was like so true so accurate it's
disgusting yeah so all right well that was uh
that was parallel universe dream theory what
uh any other big thoughts big questions anything
i feel like i'm a broken record for saying this
i hope we don't get to this stuff Every episode's
like, great discussion. I hope we don't see it.
You know, it's kind of... The only thing is,
I wouldn't mind... And then some of the discussions...
I wouldn't mind if we could have, like, multiversal
television. Like, that would be kind of cool.
Interdimensional cable? Fuck yeah. Oh, my God.
Even just to see, like, what different versions
of ourselves are doing. Because I would laugh
hilariously, be like, this version of me is a
drug addict and he's living underneath a bridge.
look at this but like you could kind of have
some fun with it like just watching even just
like purely observer can't interact can't say
anything like something like that if you like
that would be funny yeah or you know it's kind
of like that episode you know where it's like
some cartoons and shows do it where you're watching
tv and cops is on and all of a sudden you're
like hey that's my house hey that guy's running
in my backyard it'd be something like that I'm
like, hold on. Son of a bitch. Maybe we could
do it to where there's other factors that are
changed. Like, I wonder if, like, this different
person was elected or if this different event
happened. That would be really, really interesting.
And I feel like that would obviously change how
our society functions. But that being said, Jesus
Christ, the thought of... Imagine malfunction
happens and I get yeeted into a universe where,
like, Earth is on fire all the time. It's like,
oh, great, nice. Yeah. Yeah. One, one where Nova
hit like one where the, uh, the, the first atomic
test actually did set all the, or the atmosphere
on fire. Yeah. That was a real concern. Oh, wow.
And this university, the entire planet has made
a butts. I just caught somebody. It smells like
shit. Oh God. Great. Oh, yeah. I want to go to
boob world. Oh, that would be a great world.
Oh, my God. Going in a universe where everybody's
made of chairs and people are food. Oh, God.
God, Rick and Morty is so good. It is good. You
know what, though? I would love a version of
Rick and Morty. I think that is a little less
silly and more serious. Yeah. In the same kind
of universe. Like, I'd love like a. Maybe Multiverse
where they were a little more serious. I do love
the show, don't get me wrong. But I wish there
was a good blend of that serious sci -fi but
with some comedy. Yep. Call it Richard and Mortimer.
Mortimer. Yes. Instead of drinking alcohol out
of a flask, he's always got a cup of tea. Or
no, a Thai straw. You know, have you have you
picked up Starfleet Academy? I have heard about
it. I haven't started watching it yet. So I have
a few small gripes, but overall not bad so far.
OK. So because I was hearing one of the issues
was that it seemed like Starfleet overall compared
to how it was portrayed in the 90s was is way
less serious. It used to be like more kind of
formal and like. educated and kind of upstanding
where now it's not as serious as it used to be
which i felt like kind of got rid of a lot of
the vibe because i liked the vibe of it seeming
better than everyone else now it's just kind
of like the same if you get what i'm saying but
yeah a lot of that has to do with the uh the
lady they cast for the the main role yeah but
that's that's just her personality and a lot
of it's fitting for the character yeah but i'm
not sure if it's the right direction or not But
I'm just kind of trying to be open with it and
let it play out. It's not bad because I did like
it. I did watch a couple of previews and part
of an episode. I'm not saying it's bad. I just
miss the more, I guess, formal and more thought
-provoking, more intellectual discussions in
old Star Trek. But who knows? We'll probably
get back to that at some point. Although shout
out to the Picard series for actually being more
like the nineties in that spirit. But yeah. All
right. I think we can go ahead and wrap up the
episode. So thank you everyone for hanging out.
Again, if you have questions, comments, or answers
to the questions that we've asked, hit us up
on the socials, Facebook, Instagram there. I
think we're still posting stuff to tick tock.
Question mark? I think so. I don't know about
shorts, if any have gone out lately, but... Question
mark? I'm sorry, I've been working, so I... Yeah.
We'll try to do better with that kind of stuff,
but yeah, life keeps lifing, but we'll be here
week after week, hopefully. But apparently our
TikTok is as dead as Hitler. Wow. Okay. Glad
this is right at the end. We can maybe edit that
out if we have to. That is a no -no word. You
said another no -no word. I'm not saying it.
No, you said it. That was on our Twitch. You
said the no -no word. I'm going to get you a
list of like staples to your forehead. Yep. All
the no -no words get stapled to his shirt. Yes.
Oh, geez. Is that part of the merch we could
do? Give Gibbles his no -no shirt? Yes. I just
list all the stuff that you specifically can't
say. Oh, man. It's up to seven words you can't
say on television. Yeah, except your list is
like 37. Jeez. That's the same word repeated
36 times, plus the new word. And then one other
word. Oh, Jesus. But all right, guys. Yeah, thanks
again for hanging out. If you have anything,
send it our way. But other than that, we love
you all, and we'll see you all next time. Bye.
Bye. Bye.
