00:03:26   a lot I don't know about how your [TS]

00:03:27   parameters protected but it will to the [TS]

00:03:29   best of my ability reveal nothing about [TS]

00:03:34   was not allowed into your home right [TS]

00:03:36   here don't and and any any any evidence [TS]

00:03:39   or any-any anything that might allow my [TS]

00:03:41   house to be identified from the air that [TS]

00:03:45   ok [TS]

00:03:47   yeah alright I'll do the best I can I [TS]

00:03:49   here's the thing it doesn't have is [TS]

00:03:51   something that we've all experienced my [TS]

00:03:53   daughter's for and she's already [TS]

00:03:54   experienced this is which is the whole [TS]

00:03:55   like I had a dream and it was weird [TS]

00:03:58   because it was our house but it wasn't [TS]

00:04:00   our house and I said shut up i hate [TS]

00:04:02   hearing other people's dreams kind of [TS]

00:04:03   compulsion of mine of course I needed to [TS]

00:04:05   identify your professor who found [TS]

00:04:08   intolerable he thought he was like his [TS]

00:04:09   greatest phobia [TS]

00:04:10   hehe i just i merely I merely hate it [TS]

00:04:13   but he could not stand to hear someone [TS]

00:04:15   else's dream [TS]

00:04:19   David dextran behind you buddy [TS]

00:04:20   yeah well you know what i do is i slowly [TS]

00:04:22   lower my eyelids like I'm cranking the [TS]

00:04:26   honoring of a french cafe until my [TS]

00:04:29   eyelids are just barely open just the [TS]

00:04:33   faintest touch of i'll ask why you're [TS]

00:04:36   listening [TS]

00:04:37   this is why I'm listening to someone [TS]

00:04:38   talk about the dream just like get this [TS]

00:04:41   son ambulant so yeah but you know I know [TS]

00:04:46   there's a basic problem to the dreams [TS]

00:04:48   maybe we should just talk about things [TS]

00:04:49   in Avoyelles other bullshit but his [TS]

00:04:50   dreams are very interesting except as [TS]

00:04:52   much as they are absolutely not [TS]

00:04:53   interesting or not it's that describes [TS]

00:04:56   describing a poop to somebody I would [TS]

00:04:57   rather hear about the poopy took the in [TS]

00:04:58   your dreams because he doesn't sound [TS]

00:05:00   like everybody that talk to me about [TS]

00:05:02   their dreams was really just describing [TS]

00:05:03   their last poop i would be actually [TS]

00:05:05   pretty fascinating i would be so [TS]

00:05:06   relieved and that's something that can [TS]

00:05:08   understand here's how it goes you go on [TS]

00:05:10   I just remembered something [TS]

00:05:12   oh my god I had a crazy dream last night [TS]

00:05:16   now i hate you i hate you please don't [TS]

00:05:19   say anything [TS]

00:05:19   oh no no let me just listen I want to [TS]

00:05:22   make it clear I I don't want to hear [TS]

00:05:24   your dream it's not just you i never [TS]

00:05:26   want to hear anybody fucking tell me [TS]

00:05:27   their dream I don't care and it won't be [TS]

00:05:29   as cool as you think it is and then turn [TS]

00:05:31   the annual drift off and say you [TS]

00:05:32   couldn't really describe it [TS]

00:05:33   that's gonna happen that's not how you [TS]

00:05:34   described you to notice it was so funny [TS]

00:05:37   because it was like I was in school but [TS]

00:05:38   it was a museum and it was like I was in [TS]

00:05:41   a boat but no and I would i remember [TS]

00:05:45   that i had arms and eyes are lowering [TS]

00:05:49   laughs and you were there but it wasn't [TS]

00:05:51   you know although i will make a caveat [TS]

00:05:54   right we'll make an exception it's very [TS]

00:05:56   early i don't know how I don't know how [TS]

00:05:58   to speak you i'm really sorry i will [TS]

00:06:00   make an exception for someone who treats [TS]

00:06:02   me about other dream I'll see okay what [TS]

00:06:06   all right so we were in my dreams let's [TS]

00:06:08   explain why cause you got a hundred [TS]

00:06:09   forty fucking characters there's no [TS]

00:06:11   epilogue there's no prologue excuse me [TS]

00:06:13   there's no prologue and there's no [TS]

00:06:14   epilogue you you merely say I had a [TS]

00:06:16   weird dream last night that my pillows [TS]

00:06:18   turn into John Roderick weird [TS]

00:06:20   perfect thank you yeah right yes it goes [TS]

00:06:24   on you amble on through this thing and [TS]

00:06:26   already the thing is i think it's [TS]

00:06:28   probably a poetic name for this but you [TS]

00:06:30   know every time we we remember a memory [TS]

00:06:32   we exchanged a little bit and he created [TS]

00:06:34   a little bit [TS]

00:06:35   this is just pure neuroscience degraded [TS]

00:06:37   and then amplify [TS]

00:06:39   the things that we're remembering [TS]

00:06:41   correctly yeah if you go back over here [TS]

00:06:43   recordings of yourself or you know my [TS]

00:06:45   case I go back I'm gonna hear myself to [TS]

00:06:46   repeat myself a lot of ever mentioned [TS]

00:06:48   that but i will hear myself having told [TS]

00:06:50   the same story it's different like I'm [TS]

00:06:52   always telling the best version i can [TS]

00:06:54   remember of something that happened to [TS]

00:06:55   me and it is different right [TS]

00:06:57   oh yeah absolutely so when you tell a [TS]

00:06:59   dream you're really telling a story of a [TS]

00:07:00   dream and the story sucks and then you [TS]

00:07:03   go into so finally as your you're [TS]

00:07:05   stripping and then I remember I woke up [TS]

00:07:07   a little bit but um it was you know it's [TS]

00:07:10   so hard to describe because it was it's [TS]

00:07:12   uh well and and and that's true i can't [TS]

00:07:17   describe my dreams because I stopped [TS]

00:07:18   remembering my dreams a long time ago [TS]

00:07:20   when i was when i was young i remembered [TS]

00:07:22   my dreams pretty loosely my dream [TS]

00:07:24   vividly and I remember every i still [TS]

00:07:26   remember a dream I had when I was four [TS]

00:07:28   years old in extraordinary detail but [TS]

00:07:30   apart from that I I mean I have like [TS]

00:07:31   five dreams that i remember ever yeah [TS]

00:07:33   nowadays i wake up and it's like oh yeah [TS]

00:07:36   right i was in some some warehouse in a [TS]

00:07:38   winter landscape being chased by snipers [TS]

00:07:41   and I was riding a motorcycle that I [TS]

00:07:45   built myself as a pretty good pretty [TS]

00:07:48   fucking cool dream i love the sea isle [TS]

00:07:49   of a cool dream or I'll of a dream of [TS]

00:07:51   the punchline I the thing is if it [TS]

00:07:53   really is your dream and you're not [TS]

00:07:54   making it up it probably won't have a [TS]

00:07:56   punch line is just a bunch of bullshit [TS]

00:07:58   your brains trying to figure out its [TS]

00:07:59   like the recycling bin of your soul [TS]

00:08:01   right now [TS]

00:08:02   now you you you began this by trying to [TS]

00:08:05   describe the experience of coming to my [TS]

00:08:06   house and i'm guessing it is because you [TS]

00:08:09   have dreamt about being in my house can [TS]

00:08:11   tell you something you're so I know you [TS]

00:08:13   hate this is going to continue this [TS]

00:08:17   dream it was so weird [TS]

00:08:19   now here's the thing i got your place [TS]

00:08:21   you got your perimeter i was instantly [TS]

00:08:22   identified it for reasons that I won't [TS]

00:08:24   be able to explain apart from the gps I [TS]

00:08:26   was also able to see things that you've [TS]

00:08:28   talked about you you flung open the door [TS]

00:08:30   of your home and immediately there were [TS]

00:08:33   it was as though you are fucking with my [TS]

00:08:36   head that you had listened to our [TS]

00:08:37   program which I know you don't [TS]

00:08:39   it was as though you had listened to our [TS]

00:08:40   program and deliberately tried to make a [TS]

00:08:42   house that it looked like John Roderick [TS]

00:08:44   loda because if i may say not too much [TS]

00:08:46   detail but I opened the door and and [TS]

00:08:49   rainforest first if I can like control [TS]

00:08:51   suo [TS]

00:08:52   the gate to the Garden I wasn't gonna [TS]

00:08:54   say jon postel deniability chuck Colson [TS]

00:08:58   yea-ah anyway [TS]

00:09:00   yes the gate is a pickle for the ticket [TS]

00:09:02   yeah so and then kind of stood [TS]

00:09:04   hesitantly on one side looking down at a [TS]

00:09:06   variety of ropes and cables that were [TS]

00:09:09   part partially buried i am mary i [TS]

00:09:12   admired your fruit but the beat the [TS]

00:09:15   citizens this is where I immediately [TS]

00:09:16   knew that I had gone down a very very [TS]

00:09:18   special musky rabbit hole was that the [TS]

00:09:21   door open in front of me was what i [TS]

00:09:23   believe to be possibly a baby grand [TS]

00:09:25   piano that was entirely covered with [TS]

00:09:27   brass candles and can't rest [TS]

00:09:29   candlesticks and entirely underneath it [TS]

00:09:31   was what i would guess to be two dozen [TS]

00:09:33   glass of me varying sizes all looking [TS]

00:09:38   very old and I thought holy shit because [TS]

00:09:41   like our friend jason says the problem [TS]

00:09:43   with John Roderick is it all sounds so [TS]

00:09:45   plausible until you hear the point where [TS]

00:09:47   it's not possible and it's very [TS]

00:09:48   difficult to know where the line is [TS]

00:09:50   mm there's a rack of cowboy boots there [TS]

00:09:52   was literally a rack of cowboy boots all [TS]

00:09:54   of your collections are real question I [TS]

00:09:56   saw if I say John I saw your fucking [TS]

00:09:58   Braille playboys [TS]

00:09:59   I thought that was made up yeah I we [TS]

00:10:01   browse them Scott browse the menu you [TS]

00:10:03   and scott simpson spent spent quite a [TS]

00:10:06   quite a bit of time reading the usual [TS]

00:10:07   people wish i could say you should make [TS]

00:10:09   people with white cotton gloves on the [TS]

00:10:10   handle your Braille well you know my [TS]

00:10:12   feeling about all this stuff here is it [TS]

00:10:14   here to be used to so for instance the [TS]

00:10:16   rack of cowboy boots I eyewear repair [TS]

00:10:19   even though they are of course a [TS]

00:10:22   collection of who and then the globe's I [TS]

00:10:24   consult because the gloves clubs [TS]

00:10:27   represent different eras who of globe [TS]

00:10:31   making a sort of snapshots of history [TS]

00:10:33   that you like to contrast that's exactly [TS]

00:10:35   right you look at you look at a club [TS]

00:10:38   that you find in a thrift store and you [TS]

00:10:39   look at the the nations of africa and [TS]

00:10:41   the borders of of you know it like East [TS]

00:10:46   Asia and all those boards have changed [TS]

00:10:48   all those countries are different now [TS]

00:10:50   oceania oceania rights right and here's [TS]

00:10:53   here's the thing I I don't want to get [TS]

00:10:55   into this because I'm starting to obsess [TS]

00:10:56   over it but I've been thinking a lot [TS]

00:10:57   about obsessive compulsion and howard [TS]

00:11:00   hughes I've been thinking a great deal [TS]

00:11:01   the last few days about this [TS]

00:11:03   yeah Howard Hughes Howard he [TS]

00:11:04   it is looming large in my mind right now [TS]

00:11:06   and we probably just shouldn't get into [TS]

00:11:08   it but here's something I i have to know [TS]

00:11:10   that you know which is that maps and I [TS]

00:11:14   believe with globes [TS]

00:11:15   there's always at least one fake thing [TS]

00:11:17   on it really you know about this [TS]

00:11:20   no there's a name for it it's like a [TS]

00:11:23   canary trap but the club or it's a [TS]

00:11:25   finger [TS]

00:11:26   it's a thing that makers globe makers do [TS]

00:11:28   as a kind of like that's how we know [TS]

00:11:31   it's my globe and that's what my canary [TS]

00:11:34   trap [TS]

00:11:34   bingo so here's the thing you get a map [TS]

00:11:37   you get the map it's it's flawless [TS]

00:11:39   sponsor this new map the United States [TS]

00:11:42   or as the United States I think it's [TS]

00:11:44   about the United States I really want to [TS]

00:11:45   get the result of all these years of [TS]

00:11:46   research [TS]

00:11:47   it's the most optimized version of like [TS]

00:11:49   everything that could be annoying about [TS]

00:11:50   a map they've made really great and I [TS]

00:11:52   really want it want it want it but the [TS]

00:11:54   greatest map in the world still has like [TS]

00:11:57   a fake city on it or has a fake rollout [TS]

00:12:00   often it's a fake road so they can see [TS]

00:12:02   there's only one of those are annoying [TS]

00:12:04   fucking lyrics sites on the web you want [TS]

00:12:06   to go lyrics you're Rod Stewart song and [TS]

00:12:08   you copy some text it will also copy [TS]

00:12:10   some other stuff they put deliberate [TS]

00:12:11   errors in there to find out today [TS]

00:12:13   scrapings from somebody else but now its [TS]

00:12:15   subscription that from there all [TS]

00:12:16   butthurt you know here it's the fucking [TS]

00:12:18   earth ok we get it we all we know what's [TS]

00:12:21   there but you put in a fake road now [TS]

00:12:23   here's my problem that road or country [TS]

00:12:26   or city is very unlikely to be anything [TS]

00:12:29   that I ever consultant now I can't stop [TS]

00:12:31   thinking about it I have to know what is [TS]

00:12:33   the one faking on the square searching [TS]

00:12:34   the map for the fake did you bring work [TS]

00:12:36   at all like that it does absolutely it's [TS]

00:12:39   a you know it's easter egg [TS]

00:12:40   I think I found a fake road on a map [TS]

00:12:44   not very long ago because i was looking [TS]

00:12:45   at a map of my mom's hometown and there [TS]

00:12:49   was a road so high oh this is an Ohio [TS]

00:12:51   there was a road that was named after [TS]

00:12:54   her maiden name which i won't say well [TS]

00:12:58   now [TS]

00:12:59   oh boy you better not but let's say her [TS]

00:13:01   maiden name was just give me the less [TS]

00:13:03   risk unless four digits of President [TS]

00:13:05   Cruz watch for the last four digits of [TS]

00:13:08   her maiden name [TS]

00:13:09   so what we're driving a lot we're [TS]

00:13:11   looking at this map together of her [TS]

00:13:12   hometown and she says look at that it's [TS]

00:13:14   it's a frozen gloucester road for I [TS]

00:13:17   others that's there's no road like that [TS]

00:13:19   in this town I would know about it so we [TS]

00:13:22   went to all the computer would be said [TS]

00:13:26   computer went to the computer anywhere [TS]

00:13:28   together we were zooming in on the town [TS]

00:13:31   from outer space and we're looking at it [TS]

00:13:33   and all these different places and all [TS]

00:13:34   these different directions and there's [TS]

00:13:35   this and it's like it's like a quarter [TS]

00:13:38   of a mile long this little thing yeah [TS]

00:13:40   it's nothing to nothing who very very [TS]

00:13:44   suspicious [TS]

00:13:45   yeah and she says if that was a thing if [TS]

00:13:47   they named it road after my family in [TS]

00:13:50   that town i would absolutely know about [TS]

00:13:52   it and this road is just sitting out [TS]

00:13:54   there it doesn't go for to anywhere and [TS]

00:13:56   I was like em take root holy shit John [TS]

00:14:00   look at that link i just sent a ready [TS]

00:14:01   for this you ready for the name and what [TS]

00:14:03   this is called already it has a nameless [TS]

00:14:06   this phenomenon during trap Street trap [TS]

00:14:09   Street trap Street a trap Street is a [TS]

00:14:13   fictitious entry in the form of a [TS]

00:14:15   misrepresented street on a map often [TS]

00:14:17   outside the area that nominally covers [TS]

00:14:19   for the purposes of cortical trapping [TS]

00:14:21   potential copyright violators now can [TS]

00:14:23   this be true even on a good is this [TS]

00:14:25   something that has been happening for [TS]

00:14:27   years so that all these old globe's I [TS]

00:14:29   have under the piano [TS]

00:14:30   John my concern is there may be no way [TS]

00:14:32   to ever find out those are the gloves [TS]

00:14:33   right i mean it's deliberately it's [TS]

00:14:36   deliberately incorrect and i doubt that [TS]

00:14:38   there's any kind of documentation [TS]

00:14:40   addenda appendix or etc that would tell [TS]

00:14:43   us [TS]

00:14:43   oh by the way here's the trap Street we [TS]

00:14:45   never want you to fucking find no this [TS]

00:14:47   goes now there's two streets to travel [TS]

00:14:49   treats we can go down here's a fork in [TS]

00:14:50   the trap Street first of all i want to [TS]

00:14:53   point out the legal legal issues section [TS]

00:14:55   of the trap Street page is apparently [TS]

00:14:57   some it appears the trap streets cannot [TS]

00:15:00   be copyrighted just so you know it [TS]

00:15:02   appears that under copyright law you're [TS]

00:15:04   not allowed to copyright the name of a [TS]

00:15:05   fixed rate that doesn't insist on a map [TS]

00:15:07   ok alright copyright law for the win and [TS]

00:15:10   now now now getting with this bullshit [TS]

00:15:12   email signatures we go this is to the [TS]

00:15:13   only recipient and related to kick you [TS]

00:15:16   right now i agree to nothing I [TS]

00:15:17   good-for-nothing this is not a tacit [TS]

00:15:19   contract right here I item and be and be [TS]

00:15:22   holy shit how much the stuff that's out [TS]

00:15:25   there that we're dealing with or should [TS]

00:15:27   be dealing with is actually a kind of if [TS]

00:15:28   I may say trap Street John it seems to [TS]

00:15:30   me that someone who is concerned about [TS]

00:15:31   these issues of intelligence [TS]

00:15:33   this is the kind of thing you need to [TS]

00:15:34   know about think about and maybe not [TS]

00:15:35   even admit to know don't worry about [TS]

00:15:38   traps these two double trap streets [TS]

00:15:39   could do think about what you could do [TS]

00:15:40   with trap streets [TS]

00:15:41   well here's here's the thing though for [TS]

00:15:44   me personally I although i love maps and [TS]

00:15:48   I consult maps constantly on an hourly [TS]

00:15:52   basis I very seldom use maps for [TS]

00:15:55   navigation who because when I'm going [TS]

00:15:59   from a place to another place [TS]

00:16:01   well in advance of traveling i will say [TS]

00:16:06   ok I'm going to this place up here and I [TS]

00:16:07   look at a map and I'll get the general [TS]

00:16:09   idea of the area where the where the [TS]

00:16:12   place I'm going is like I located in the [TS]

00:16:14   in the quadrant of the map but when i [TS]

00:16:17   leave home i tried to a always take a [TS]

00:16:20   different route / and be not ever really [TS]

00:16:24   exactly know what I'm going so that when [TS]

00:16:28   i get into that job i don't think i [TS]

00:16:30   could even if they could read your mind [TS]

00:16:32   is still wouldn't know exactly and that [TS]

00:16:35   not only that i have the old-fashioned [TS]

00:16:37   sensation of arriving in a location a [TS]

00:16:40   general area of high street if you will [TS]

00:16:43   in the main part of town or the you know [TS]

00:16:46   out by the beach or wherever that I'm in [TS]

00:16:48   there and I go I know it's right around [TS]

00:16:49   here somewhere and then I go up and down [TS]

00:16:52   the streets and I go back and forth mrs. [TS]

00:16:54   of course a problem what if i have to be [TS]

00:16:56   there at a certain time [TS]

00:16:57   that's not your fault but you know what [TS]

00:16:59   that's not my fault they should have [TS]

00:17:00   accounted for that so and then I start [TS]

00:17:02   then I have bet that that X the [TS]

00:17:04   excitement and the satisfaction of [TS]

00:17:06   discovering the place and and and very [TS]

00:17:09   often going directly to it because it's [TS]

00:17:12   the obvious it's obvious it's like i'm [TS]

00:17:15   going to i'm going to a place called the [TS]

00:17:18   tower building and you get out there and [TS]

00:17:20   it's like huh well there's only one [TS]

00:17:21   place that could be this bet that [TS]

00:17:23   building up their looks like a tower and [TS]

00:17:25   none of the other buildings do so anyway [TS]

00:17:28   that is a that is a way in which so I do [TS]

00:17:30   not use g [TS]

00:17:31   yes so they just simply up well let's [TS]

00:17:34   just take this ready but for you it's [TS]

00:17:35   not simply a matter of cartographical [TS]

00:17:38   cheating you certainly want a sharp mind [TS]

00:17:40   you're not gonna you're not gonna shave [TS]

00:17:42   with soap [TS]

00:17:42   you're gonna you're gonna have the [TS]

00:17:43   minimal number of steps exposed to [TS]

00:17:45   people as part of your process but then [TS]

00:17:47   you're learning also it's your auto [TS]

00:17:49   didacticism that doesn't follow your [TS]

00:17:50   nose is that exactly and and so what is [TS]

00:17:53   much more likely and what happens all [TS]

00:17:54   the time is that I discovered roads that [TS]

00:17:56   are not on the map rather than thinking [TS]

00:17:59   that there's a road because they were [TS]

00:18:01   because it says so on the map and then [TS]

00:18:02   there's no Road this is it [TS]

00:18:04   I mean is it the opposite of a trap [TS]

00:18:06   Street i'm guessing that I'm guessing if [TS]

00:18:08   you are making a trap Street you would [TS]

00:18:10   not make the trap Street you could not [TS]

00:18:12   locate the trap Street on your map in a [TS]

00:18:14   place where people would say wow that's [TS]

00:18:17   a cool shortcut you know I mean nobody [TS]

00:18:19   nobody what she described with made with [TS]

00:18:22   the maiden lane was was exactly how it [TS]

00:18:25   works I think you'll see a little [TS]

00:18:27   cul-de-sac [TS]

00:18:28   that's called like Jackie court and so [TS]

00:18:31   jokey court and it doesn't even matter [TS]

00:18:33   what it is probably it should look [TS]

00:18:34   plausible but the point is if they're [TS]

00:18:36   going to Xerox that or whatever people [TS]

00:18:37   do today [TS]

00:18:38   scan it yeah right it's not gonna matter [TS]

00:18:40   what is going to fax it to each other it [TS]

00:18:42   could be called fuck you in the eye lane [TS]

00:18:43   that's the thing is that like it's going [TS]

00:18:45   to show up on mapping oh haha we might [TS]

00:18:48   we might own the copyright on fuck you [TS]

00:18:50   but probably not but not yet boy that [TS]

00:18:53   you know who I don't know I guess I'm [TS]

00:18:55   just thinking it's in again please say [TS]

00:18:58   as little as you can about this unless [TS]

00:18:59   you want to say more it just strikes me [TS]

00:19:00   that when you get into the area of [TS]

00:19:02   intelligence or or HUMINT or or our [TS]

00:19:06   element or any of the different kinds of [TS]

00:19:08   Intel yeah right you meant for our [TS]

00:19:11   listeners who are not adverse to MIT in [TS]

00:19:13   the clandestine arts it's just human [TS]

00:19:15   intelligence i learned about that after [TS]

00:19:17   the 911 you hear people saying that a [TS]

00:19:19   lot of people were confused about what [TS]

00:19:20   it meant the ordinance yeah human sounds [TS]

00:19:24   like something that you would put in the [TS]

00:19:25   bottom of the flower pot in order to [TS]

00:19:27   have your petunias group I knew Abe and [TS]

00:19:30   humans who [TS]

00:19:33   hello so hello idea where there's a lot [TS]

00:19:36   there's a lot at the lot on the cable [TS]

00:19:37   here we're not even near that ukulele [TS]

00:19:39   string [TS]

00:19:40   yeah you know butBut press on press on [TS]

00:19:43   well okay I all I'm saying is ok here [TS]

00:19:45   let me give you a few examples for [TS]

00:19:47   example uh I i if i remember correctly [TS]

00:19:50   Dick Cheney who I think might be even [TS]

00:19:54   more monkey balls than you dick cheney I [TS]

00:19:56   believe had the Naval Observatory [TS]

00:19:58   removed from google maps [TS]

00:20:00   oh he had it he added pixel it's smudged [TS]

00:20:04   ya Yin like maybe he had shifted a [TS]

00:20:06   couple feet i don't know right now you [TS]

00:20:08   remember when for example there's many [TS]

00:20:10   issues you may remember that when gps [TS]

00:20:12   first became a consumer product there's [TS]

00:20:14   a built-in fucked upness to it where [TS]

00:20:15   they made it off [TS]

00:20:17   first of all lucky we got good it was [TS]

00:20:19   still you are never allowed to be closer [TS]

00:20:20   than 14 feet or something but almost [TS]

00:20:22   more than that it was like 10 feet at [TS]

00:20:23   first because you didn't want to be able [TS]

00:20:25   to put a bomb right in the kaisers [TS]

00:20:27   pocket right right or drop drop the [TS]

00:20:29   bombs between the minarets down on [TS]

00:20:31   casbah Lane who is in a cast by that is [TS]

00:20:34   that is that a plane as by way [TS]

00:20:36   okay yeah uh well yeah and in fact uh [TS]

00:20:39   you know in those early days of [TS]

00:20:40   satellite pictures on the internet i had [TS]

00:20:43   a lot of there's a lot of there's a lot [TS]

00:20:47   of forest that i was very interested in [TS]

00:20:49   what was underneath it and I would go to [TS]

00:20:52   these places on the globe and I would [TS]

00:20:53   zoom in on these dark forests and then [TS]

00:20:57   they had decided that because these [TS]

00:20:58   forests were either a just empty forest [TS]

00:21:01   or be forests concealing special [TS]

00:21:04   installations that you could assume in [TS]

00:21:07   on him it was just it was like that's [TS]

00:21:08   just green green side that whoo-hoo-hoo [TS]

00:21:11   decide that now again I'm not gonna let [TS]

00:21:12   Howard Hughes into this but I know there [TS]

00:21:14   are ways that you can send specially [TS]

00:21:16   coded messages through a variety of [TS]

00:21:17   people so that there is no backwards [TS]

00:21:19   contamination of fake appetite us from a [TS]

00:21:20   man with cancer and a variety of ways [TS]

00:21:22   you can it was called a paddle out of 50 [TS]

00:21:24   Kleenexes i know that there are ways [TS]

00:21:26   that you can handle these things and a [TS]

00:21:28   is there a way to ensure that there's [TS]

00:21:30   the right brush coverage for [TS]

00:21:31   installation and be who sends who holds [TS]

00:21:35   the paddle tissues in their hand to let [TS]

00:21:37   someone know that that installation [TS]

00:21:38   needs to be reformatted what'swhat's [TS]

00:21:41   Google's motto uh oh that don't be evil [TS]

00:21:46   don't be evil who write so take it as [TS]

00:21:49   read if you assume that if your motto is [TS]

00:21:51   don't be evil that google is never evil [TS]

00:21:54   we can only be whoo-hoo lot models got [TS]

00:21:56   to be true right i mean absolutely not [TS]

00:21:58   it's in the name monocytes precisely [TS]

00:22:00   it's it's a it's by definition google [TS]

00:22:03   has never been evil and so they cannot [TS]

00:22:05   have possibly collaborated right in in [TS]

00:22:08   in smudging out there map program with [TS]

00:22:10   evil forces or people that have secret [TS]

00:22:12   installations in the forest so it has to [TS]

00:22:15   be either a just a coincidence be an [TS]

00:22:18   accident so for baby you know there's [TS]

00:22:21   your thumb thumb smudge on the lens lips [TS]

00:22:23   or uh or the or it's like a Stuxnet [TS]

00:22:27   thing where the government has great [TS]

00:22:29   here we go as written aspects not [TS]

00:22:30   program stuff net program this is the [TS]

00:22:33   one that's gonna be the one john blurbs [TS]

00:22:35   out all their secret forest background [TS]

00:22:37   check a small bag you got about 40 [TS]

00:22:38   seconds to pick that he getting I don't [TS]

00:22:42   have a small bag that commander we were [TS]

00:22:47   we were spotted all pick forged wire her [TS]

00:22:51   treachery and looks like a swimming pool [TS]

00:22:54   might have to bring it over [TS]

00:22:56   I've got it I've got a safe room I've [TS]

00:22:59   got a I've got a decoy safe route [TS]

00:23:02   haha i have a tunnel under the street [TS]

00:23:05   and I have it all away from this place [TS]

00:23:07   setting aside Howard use this is why I'm [TS]

00:23:09   obsessed with this it seems very [TS]

00:23:10   important John having IC having a safe [TS]

00:23:13   room [TS]

00:23:14   yeah they're just gonna burn it down [TS]

00:23:16   around you i was trying to explain the [TS]

00:23:18   very little bit that I understand about [TS]

00:23:19   security to people and what's that [TS]

00:23:22   what's that one that was the term that [TS]

00:23:23   they use okay for example try to explain [TS]

00:23:26   to my friend how I think about security [TS]

00:23:28   and as a demonstration we were in like a [TS]

00:23:30   little green room conference room thing [TS]

00:23:32   I took I took six paper cups and I put [TS]

00:23:35   them on a table and I said which one has [TS]

00:23:37   the million dollars under it you have [TS]

00:23:38   one guess [TS]

00:23:40   and he said I have no idea so I [TS]

00:23:43   surreptitiously took one of the cups and [TS]

00:23:44   drew a giant lock on it and said this is [TS]

00:23:47   locked and then I move them all around i [TS]

00:23:49   said ok which one of those as [TS]

00:23:51   million-dollar after it and and it the [TS]

00:23:55   one with the law [TS]

00:23:56   oddly enough he picked them with the [TS]

00:23:58   giant fucking lock on it my concern [TS]

00:24:01   somebody goes out and they spend like [TS]

00:24:02   probably 4,000 29 million dollars on a [TS]

00:24:05   safe room you could probably buy a pro [TS]

00:24:07   very nice safe room right yeah but do [TS]

00:24:09   you think the safe room is gonna come [TS]

00:24:11   it's gonna cost you fifty thousand [TS]

00:24:13   dollars for the base model [TS]

00:24:14   yeah yeah it's like it's like a [TS]

00:24:16   Rorschach finding the comedian's costume [TS]

00:24:18   he's gonna go make sure the closet [TS]

00:24:20   he's going to see at like a medieval [TS]

00:24:21   horror style huh that's kind of weird [TS]

00:24:24   there's an extra like couple inches here [TS]

00:24:25   I wonder what's going on here you can [TS]

00:24:27   get a fucking blueprint of any house in [TS]

00:24:29   America that's not going to be hard i [TS]

00:24:30   think what you need isn't as an [TS]

00:24:32   obviously overstock super obvious but [TS]

00:24:35   secret enough safe room and that net [TS]

00:24:38   becomes sure that becomes your trap your [TS]

00:24:39   trap room right wrap from craft room [TS]

00:24:41   they go there and they think he's gotta [TS]

00:24:43   be in here somewhere and they spent 15 [TS]

00:24:46   hours with an arc welder trying to break [TS]

00:24:47   in through your vintage safe door i'm [TS]

00:24:50   not giving away too much here now [TS]

00:24:52   vintage and vintage can be a very long [TS]

00:24:54   time John and and in fact you're safe [TS]

00:24:57   room is just it's just this ikea bed but [TS]

00:25:00   had a hinge on it that led to a stairway [TS]

00:25:02   that's kind and that's here [TS]

00:25:05   hey nobody's gonna look under the ikea [TS]

00:25:07   but that's not the first place you're [TS]

00:25:08   gonna look you know my whole life this [TS]

00:25:11   has become kind of a thing now to like [TS]

00:25:13   have a house with you know [TS]

00:25:14   oh if you're rich person your bookcase [TS]

00:25:16   can turn around like I can take on how [TS]

00:25:17   much my entire life i have wanted to [TS]

00:25:24   robbery gone that has survived this far [TS]

00:25:30   bookcase that opens to reveal a secret [TS]

00:25:32   room or or a fake secret room [TS]

00:25:34   ah no no no i think absolutely right i [TS]

00:25:37   bet i bet all of us either on our desk [TS]

00:25:38   or in our head or in an undisclosed [TS]

00:25:41   location and I do have the domain name [TS]

00:25:42   undisclosed location com [TS]

00:25:44   actually um you somewhere you have you [TS]

00:25:46   have a jar that if it is not full of [TS]

00:25:49   your own urine for sanitary reasons [TS]

00:25:50   probably is full of pocket change [TS]

00:25:52   because you're saving up to fucking [TS]

00:25:54   retrofit whatever you live in to have [TS]

00:25:56   tunnels [TS]

00:25:57   I I was like having a slide would be [TS]

00:25:59   nice now in the professor is so nice [TS]

00:26:04   that the Sentinels are or striker comes [TS]

00:26:06   to have a way to get out [TS]

00:26:07   I don't understand at this point in my [TS]

00:26:08   life I don't understand I'm 45 years old [TS]

00:26:10   and living in a place with two means of [TS]

00:26:12   egress both of which are exposed [TS]

00:26:14   you don't know what it's like to have a [TS]

00:26:15   child live with that why would i would [TS]

00:26:17   be very I would prevent [TS]

00:26:19   possible yeah agent my house has many [TS]

00:26:21   many ground floor excellence your house [TS]

00:26:25   hmm you just be really should be real [TS]

00:26:27   careful about this but the room that I [TS]

00:26:29   slept in that last couple nights [TS]

00:26:31   yeah it occurred to me that that that [TS]

00:26:32   room is kind of the center of the house [TS]

00:26:34   even though it feels like the least [TS]

00:26:35   important room in the house there's one [TS]

00:26:37   room we can zip through it and you're [TS]

00:26:38   almost you're almost anywhere in the [TS]

00:26:40   house including upstairs in a second [TS]

00:26:42   yeah and you'll notice you may not [TS]

00:26:44   notice this I should probably shouldn't [TS]

00:26:45   reveal this we can cut it out will end [TS]

00:26:47   up we're gonna end up cutting out pretty [TS]

00:26:48   much everything except Hodgman breaking [TS]

00:26:50   your ukulele but that room has as a [TS]

00:26:54   variety of motion detectors in it [TS]

00:26:56   food because even though it is the least [TS]

00:26:59   important room in the house even though [TS]

00:27:01   it appears to be the least important [TS]

00:27:02   room in the house you would no matter [TS]

00:27:05   where you were in the house you would [TS]

00:27:07   end up passing through that room [TS]

00:27:09   triggering the motion detectors [TS]

00:27:11   aah so when I was this motion detectors [TS]

00:27:14   around my house [TS]

00:27:15   sure I noticed you had their little bit [TS]

00:27:18   what out of period and a krista connect [TS]

00:27:20   the reverse the mechanistic I noticed [TS]

00:27:22   that you have several very difficult to [TS]

00:27:24   notice motion detectors and you can put [TS]

00:27:28   them in places where it's like oh well [TS]

00:27:30   here I'm protecting my whatever my boot [TS]

00:27:33   collection who but that's not what you [TS]

00:27:35   to be put motion detectors in places [TS]

00:27:38   where people think that they will be [TS]

00:27:39   passing on observed you put them in [TS]

00:27:41   places where people are like oh well [TS]

00:27:42   just you know take a shortcut through [TS]

00:27:45   here like uh-huh right exactly is this [TS]

00:27:47   kind of helped enough tactics have been [TS]

00:27:50   upto can write like all i need to do or [TS]

00:27:52   like for that matter in a big brother [TS]

00:27:53   all i have to do is make you have a [TS]

00:27:56   plausible gut feeling that you either [TS]

00:28:00   are being watched or more likely could [TS]

00:28:02   be being watched [TS]

00:28:03   often enough right you only need to [TS]

00:28:05   point at you is a tinted window [TS]

00:28:07   whoo-hoo nothing has to be behind it who [TS]

00:28:10   as long as there's a tinted window there [TS]

00:28:12   the the suspicion that someone is behind [TS]

00:28:14   it watching you who mmm well that's good [TS]

00:29:27   in the world should have worked but a [TS]

00:29:29   but in fact it did you kept finding more [TS]

00:29:32   places for people to sleep that maybe it [TS]

00:29:34   kind of made me think I realized by the [TS]

00:29:36   time that everybody was there it was [TS]

00:29:38   getting to be close quarters [TS]

00:29:39   even though you have to you know at [TS]

00:29:41   least two bathtubs that you'll discuss [TS]

00:29:42   and numerous numerous you know restroom [TS]

00:29:46   facilities I kept thinking I keep a [TS]

00:29:48   little bit like MOOCs in a phone booth I [TS]

00:29:50   kind of started to wonder how many more [TS]

00:29:52   delist entertainmentcelebrities could [TS]

00:29:55   potentially sleep in this house that [TS]

00:29:56   there's more room if you need it but [TS]

00:29:59   when i was considering is there there's [TS]

00:30:01   absolutely room for more bends I just [TS]

00:30:03   haven't I don't want my I don't want my [TS]

00:30:07   house to look like a safe house you know [TS]

00:30:08   what I mean like I what I don't know [TS]

00:30:46   let's go to the mattresses scene in The [TS]

00:30:48   Godfather know where it's just it's 15 [TS]

00:30:51   guys cleaning their shotguns what I want [TS]

00:30:53   that's not saying that I know and what I [TS]

00:30:57   want like guarantee no I don't think [TS]

00:31:02   what I want without without doing is no [TS]

00:31:03   it was we learned during that that that [TS]

00:31:05   that intense time I i agree with you [TS]

00:31:08   know here's the other thing like if [TS]

00:31:09   you're one of those idiots trying to [TS]

00:31:10   fucking grow weed in your house your [TS]

00:31:12   electric bill is going to go through the [TS]

00:31:14   roof and and the black helicopters are [TS]

00:31:18   going to be shooting things at your [TS]

00:31:19   house where you will actually be a big [TS]

00:31:21   red glowing ball of ultraviolence [TS]

00:31:26   lights this regret this girl likes to [TS]

00:31:27   throw out a lot of wattage doing and if [TS]

00:31:30   I understand that from a black ops [TS]

00:31:31   helicopter you could actually you can [TS]

00:31:33   actually see with a heat scanner dealing [TS]

00:31:36   with a technical term you can actually [TS]

00:31:37   see who's growing wheat yeah they use [TS]

00:31:38   their heat scanner dealers [TS]

00:31:40   is that true I mean what you can say i [TS]

00:31:42   heard that story I've heard DEA guys can [TS]

00:31:44   do that absolutely can [TS]

00:31:45   although although there's some kind of [TS]

00:31:47   uh I think that they could say I think [TS]

00:31:49   it's past the search warrant question of [TS]

00:31:51   like hey we're not we're just running [TS]

00:31:53   are our infrared cameras over the town [TS]

00:31:57   looking for people who are who haven't [TS]

00:31:59   insulated there i don't think that would [TS]

00:32:01   be admissible in evidence [TS]

00:32:03   I like you I i am an amateur attorney i [TS]

00:32:06   don't think that I'm not but I'm not an [TS]

00:32:07   amateur litigator I do mostly amateur [TS]

00:32:09   contract work but as yet I believe that [TS]

00:32:12   the thing is now it whatever you can see [TS]

00:32:13   from outside somebody's house with [TS]

00:32:16   normal vision and so forth this is fair [TS]

00:32:18   game but with the with infrared cameras [TS]

00:32:21   that would that would be across the line [TS]

00:32:22   you think 2012 that's normal vision [TS]

00:32:24   I'm know exactly especially if you have [TS]

00:32:26   to settle built a purpose robot that [TS]

00:32:29   that you know what about listening you [TS]

00:32:56   in the garden have [TS]

00:32:57   a high-level conference but there was a [TS]

00:32:59   strange scenario where this guy's were [TS]

00:33:02   feeling full military helicopters and [TS]

00:33:04   low-flying Navy Jets i braid you're [TS]

00:33:07   gonna bring this up because I feel as [TS]

00:33:08   though I may be and not by your design I [TS]

00:33:10   feel like I'm being deeply drawn into [TS]

00:33:12   your world because I was a witness to [TS]

00:33:14   planes that weren't there I was witness [TS]

00:33:16   to buy your account i believe it was it [TS]

00:33:18   four to six unmarked Navy planes they [TS]

00:33:22   had a piece of the call sign on the tail [TS]

00:33:23   that might have been made up but they [TS]

00:33:25   were otherwise unmarked and sometimes [TS]

00:33:27   you can even see them and it but you [TS]

00:33:28   live by the airport if I could say not [TS]

00:33:30   super near the airport kinda wanna do it [TS]

00:33:32   I would i do that by the airport but [TS]

00:33:33   yeah [TS]

00:33:34   do you know anybody who lives by an [TS]

00:33:35   airport where there are invisible [TS]

00:33:37   helicopters i knows you were witness to [TS]

00:33:41   invisible helicopters John there's no [TS]

00:33:43   fucking question I was witness to that I [TS]

00:33:44   know people who live near airports [TS]

00:33:46   I know people who see invisible things [TS]

00:33:48   and I know a lot of people who hear [TS]

00:33:50   things that may or may not be there but [TS]

00:33:52   I was fucking witness in your yard with [TS]

00:33:54   a cup of coffee a lot of coffee I was [TS]

00:33:57   witness to with your assistance numerous [TS]

00:34:00   very suspicious Terran you know your [TS]

00:34:05   earthling what appeared to be earthling [TS]

00:34:07   aerospace devices that were right things [TS]

00:34:12   were wrong person were behaving in a way [TS]

00:34:13   that was that was inherently suspicious [TS]

00:34:15   right I understand the Doppler effect i [TS]

00:34:17   understand the Doppler effect i know how [TS]

00:34:18   that works [TS]

00:34:19   I understand that you see the lightning [TS]

00:34:21   then hear the Thunder I understand that [TS]

00:34:22   but we had a clear vision of the clear [TS]

00:34:24   skies and I swear to Christ I think [TS]

00:34:27   there were some decoy noises I think [TS]

00:34:28   there may have been some stealth copters [TS]

00:34:31   I don't have a way of explaining this [TS]

00:34:34   but but you know you here's the thing [TS]

00:34:35   you expect to see 129 of those in a year [TS]

00:34:39   and I think we saw about 16 in a day [TS]

00:34:41   well as i said to you and I think I've [TS]

00:34:43   said before if you were a UFO how would [TS]

00:34:45   you describe yourself if not as a a a [TS]

00:34:49   regular jet but just one that has no [TS]

00:34:51   markings i thought about it constantly [TS]

00:34:53   can I just say you would not write on a [TS]

00:34:55   paper cup i'm fucking UFO no you [TS]

00:34:57   wouldn't and also i am I my suspicion is [TS]

00:35:00   that these aircraft actually have [TS]

00:35:02   aircraft sound broadcasting technology [TS]

00:35:05   who where they are there they're [TS]

00:35:07   throwing they're basically throwing [TS]

00:35:08   their voices throwing their airplane [TS]

00:35:10   voices [TS]

00:35:11   so that because the thing is that by [TS]

00:35:13   living button it living by the airport I [TS]

00:35:15   am witness to dozens of jets a day that [TS]

00:35:19   behave like normal jets and they sound [TS]

00:35:20   like normal Jets and the jet flies and [TS]

00:35:22   it sounds like it's the sound is coming [TS]

00:35:24   from the jet but then there are these [TS]

00:35:26   periods these strange periods when all [TS]

00:35:28   of a sudden they're they're black hawk [TS]

00:35:29   helicopters all around with her and then [TS]

00:35:31   their jets flying but then there are [TS]

00:35:33   other there the sound of Jets coming [TS]

00:35:36   from all around and no jets at all [TS]

00:35:39   e because they're throwing their voices [TS]

00:35:41   well there's no John let's let's look at [TS]

00:38:22   but the next time I run into him I k [TS]

00:38:23   what was that all about these techniques [TS]

00:38:28   he tells me the story and it all seems [TS]

00:38:29   it all seems perfectly normal [TS]

00:38:31   that is a that is an incident that [TS]

00:38:33   that's an example of what I could [TS]

00:38:37   consider just the normal firearm [TS]

00:38:40   discharge that goes along with with the [TS]

00:38:42   with living in this part of town but now [TS]

00:38:48   that the police are testing their [TS]

00:38:49   automatic weapons down the hill [TS]

00:38:51   it is it is just it is disturbing my [TS]

00:38:54   ability to locate and identify normal [TS]

00:38:57   gunfire oh and their food [TS]

00:38:59   not a lot of people neighborhood that [TS]

00:39:00   might be just unnerving but for you that [TS]

00:39:02   is adding if I may say noise as satin [TS]

00:39:05   noise static precisely [TS]

00:39:07   yeah I i mentioned it the other day on [TS]

00:39:09   Twitter like the police are are testing [TS]

00:39:12   their I mean there that they didn't used [TS]

00:39:14   to didn't use to fire automatic weapons [TS]

00:39:16   they sat down there at their gun range [TS]

00:39:17   and then went PAP PAP PAP but now they [TS]

00:39:21   feel outgunned or something and they're [TS]

00:39:24   down there with with machine guns [TS]

00:39:27   and you know that obviously it only [TS]

00:39:30   happens for a little bit for a little [TS]

00:39:31   bit you know once it runs every few days [TS]

00:39:33   they decide to unleash a fusillade who [TS]

00:39:37   but uh but it really is you know usually [TS]

00:39:40   in this neighborhood when you heard [TS]

00:39:42   automatic weapons [TS]

00:39:43   that's when you knew that the that [TS]

00:39:45   someone was having a dispute that some [TS]

00:39:48   young people are having a dispute I [TS]

00:39:51   might have been about real estate or [TS]

00:39:53   commerce it would be it would be [TS]

00:39:55   something that would be a real estate [TS]

00:39:57   problem a commerce problem it might be [TS]

00:39:59   it might be a romantic [TS]

00:40:01   Oh issue i mean obviously young people [TS]

00:40:04   and machine guns is inherently romantic [TS]

00:40:06   oh but uh but anyway so that so the [TS]

00:40:09   police are kind of their coming up my [TS]

00:40:10   game and I believe it's another example [TS]

00:40:11   of looks like they're throwing sound [TS]

00:40:14   they're throwing sound at me in order to [TS]

00:40:17   confuse and disrupt by my normal [TS]

00:40:21   perception [TS]

00:40:23   yeah it's one thing to play a van Halen [TS]

00:40:25   to Manuel Noriega because I who knows [TS]

00:40:28   whether he's a fan yeah i think you [TS]

00:40:29   would probably be mostly okay with that [TS]

00:40:30   it's hot for teacher you might want to [TS]

00:40:32   just dig in you know and then make some [TS]

00:40:33   more coffee when they were explaining [TS]

00:40:35   that they were that they were trying to [TS]

00:40:36   irritate manuel noriega by playing van [TS]

00:40:38   halen really loud I was like how at that [TS]

00:40:41   that was right at the age where you and [TS]

00:40:42   I brought both probably were like what [TS]

00:40:45   that sounds amazing right they actually [TS]

00:40:50   link that little that's a little on the [TS]

00:40:51   news [TS]

00:41:09   this is exactly around sound for years [TS]

00:41:12   weaponizing the Browns I spend so much [TS]

00:41:14   in my day worrying about when the Browns [TS]

00:41:15   every time I hear a train coming I'm [TS]

00:41:16   thinking that's it this is the brown [TS]

00:41:17   sound this is going to be disruptive [TS]

00:41:19   like I need a fucking brown sound mind [TS]

00:57:31   Bob chick up deep ball and you stand [TS]

00:57:34   there for that restaurant on my house i [TS]

00:57:36   like it like a great malignant gargoyle [TS]

00:57:39   so you go in and we got the Amazon you [TS]

00:57:42   got to think on amazon prime which i [TS]

00:57:44   have to mention you're probably a member [TS]

00:57:45   of that's a very secret organization but [TS]

00:57:48   you go in for 80 bucks a year everybody [TS]

00:57:49   knows this you get almost everything on [TS]

00:57:52   amazon and deliver in two days for free [TS]

00:57:55   or overnight for 399 and it's literally [TS]

00:57:58   destroying retail America and and so [TS]

00:58:00   what we do is we say you know what we [TS]

00:58:02   want the costco size box of paper towels [TS]

00:58:04   and we want that delivered to our home [TS]

00:58:07   automatically bills for it every 30 days [TS]

00:58:10   send a giant testing of paper towels or [TS]

00:58:12   house which on the face of it almost [TS]

00:58:14   sounds innocuous until you really think [TS]

00:58:15   about the fact that somebody took a made [TS]

00:58:18   some cardboard wrap paper around it [TS]

00:58:20   yeah and I wrap plastic around six of [TS]

00:58:23   those right put six of those in a [TS]

00:58:26   cardboard box and then somewhere in reno [TS]

00:58:30   nevada that is put on a truck and is [TS]

00:58:31   driven to my home so we pay to have [TS]

00:58:34   paper delivered to our house it's [TS]

00:58:36   basically could we please have a monthly [TS]

00:58:38   box of things to throw away and just do [TS]

00:58:41   you just tell me do you uh I'm guessing [TS]

00:58:43   that at the end of every month you have [TS]

00:58:44   you very seldom make your way all the [TS]

00:58:46   way through that gross of toilet paper [TS]

00:58:49   whatever i'd like to lap now I think it [TS]

00:58:51   should be clean clean start yeah you so [TS]

00:58:53   so you don't have a few there's not a [TS]

00:58:55   closet in the house where toilet papers [TS]

00:58:56   be stockpiling and and pretty soon you [TS]

00:58:59   have like the years worth in there like [TS]

00:59:00   roll it roll over sheets [TS]

00:59:02   yeah like the leftover rolls who [TS]

00:59:04   who like rollover minutes like rui we're [TS]

00:59:06   not going to have what we have extra [TS]

00:59:07   rolls that would go into our third [TS]

00:59:09   safehouse bathroom we have rollover [TS]

00:59:11   minutes and in in your toilet paper [TS]

00:59:12   here's the thing once you become a paper [TS]

00:59:14   towel person in my sense is that you are [TS]

00:59:16   i was a parsimonious i would say given [TS]

00:59:19   the high extremely high quality of the [TS]

00:59:21   paper towels that you use those blue [TS]

00:59:22   ones that are like for automotive garage [TS]

00:59:24   I use I use automotive garage blue paper [TS]

00:59:26   to which are which can be reusable us [TS]

00:59:29   it's more like at the grocery store when [TS]

00:59:30   somebody throws up or think milk breaks [TS]

00:59:32   and they just grabbed 50 of those roles [TS]

00:59:33   and start stop and stuff but all I've [TS]

00:59:35   seen matt i love that love that [TS]

00:59:37   oh no no we recently moved to one that's [TS]

00:59:40   half sheets and so I'm gonna look right [TS]

00:59:42   now those are energy [TS]

00:59:43   yeah yeah now I contrast this so [TS]

00:59:45   basically I'm single-handedly ruining [TS]

00:59:47   the environment [TS]

01:03:02   too close to feature click halfway the [TS]

01:03:04   future you have to leave that alone and [TS]

01:03:07   you should you should research you [TS]

01:03:09   should reach research people that are [TS]

01:03:10   like they're having sex parties and [TS]

01:03:12   enter you know what you're there you're [TS]

01:03:15   you know what it is it's too on-the-nose [TS]

01:03:16   i think i think so anyway I was on a [TS]

01:03:19   program the other day discussing [TS]

01:03:20   obsessive-compulsive disorder and I [TS]

01:03:23   didn't even realize how much of a [TS]

01:03:26   certain kind of casino for example and [TS]

01:03:28   I'm this is not about you accepted as [TS]

01:03:29   much as it's probably about you you know [TS]

01:03:31   hoarding hoarding just such an ugly word [TS]

01:03:34   it's enabled store terrible word tonight [TS]

01:03:36   I mean to wrap you hoarding is a form of [TS]

01:03:38   OCD you know that right [TS]

01:03:40   well yeah when you when you have when [TS]

01:03:41   you have stacks of like old coupons and [TS]

01:03:43   like empty cans of beans lying around [TS]

01:03:47   that's hoarding yeah but what I'm doing [TS]

01:03:49   this what I'm doing is collecting I [TS]

01:03:51   think you're you're an archivist your [TS]

01:03:53   historian yeah um that the only family [TS]

01:03:56   only if i could get paper towels and [TS]

01:03:58   toilet paper from goodwill then I think [TS]

01:04:00   haha so it might be distressed but it's [TS]

01:04:03   definitely not used it's probably sealed [TS]

01:04:06   by as part of supertrain who my the [TS]

01:04:10   initial concept of super train was that [TS]

01:04:12   you would have in home recycling so that [TS]

01:04:16   all you all your glass and your aluminum [TS]

01:04:19   now never could have dreamed it would go [TS]

01:04:21   this far [TS]

01:04:22   it's not it's it's not that [TS]

01:04:24   yard I you know backyard steel but it [TS]

01:04:28   but it is you know you have a little you [TS]

01:04:30   have a little that some holes in the [TS]

01:04:32   kick in the countertop and you can you [TS]

01:04:34   separate your recycling as you do now [TS]

01:04:36   but instead of it being trucked away to [TS]

01:04:39   some mysterious you know third location [TS]

01:04:42   in the in the counter of your kitchen [TS]

01:04:44   that would be the that would be the [TS]

01:04:46   grinders and the master caters and its [TS]

01:04:49   Lemke and then you would create the [TS]

01:04:51   slurry right there and then you're [TS]

01:04:54   you're in encounter recycling thing [TS]

01:04:57   would you know would make new glass [TS]

01:04:59   bottles [TS]

01:05:00   although of course you know what I don't [TS]

01:05:02   know why you would want that but let's [TS]

01:05:04   say you're near encounter then then if [TS]

01:05:06   when the truck pulled up out front [TS]

01:05:08   you could hand them you can have them a [TS]

01:05:10   compacted glass block of your green [TS]

01:05:14   glass in your white glass and but you [TS]

01:05:17   can make your own paper you could you [TS]

01:05:21   could extract all the precious metals so [TS]

01:05:22   that at the end of the month you had a [TS]

01:05:24   little vial of gold and all that they [TS]

01:05:26   would they would collect like the fat [TS]

01:05:27   off of the George Foreman grill exactly [TS]

01:05:29   you get you know there that little trace [TS]

01:05:31   amount of silver the little trace amount [TS]

01:05:33   of a little 10-cup you know that's [TS]

01:05:35   exactly right [TS]

01:05:35   ah so it is because you get me what I [TS]

01:05:38   just don't understand quite all the [TS]

01:05:39   details for super train which is [TS]

01:05:40   probably going to be better for me but [TS]

01:05:42   is there is there an extrusion involved [TS]

01:05:44   we love the idea of a super tight little [TS]

01:05:46   cube it's like a garbage compactor [TS]

01:05:47   accepted heineken bottles or what have [TS]

01:05:48   you but it could there be some basic [TS]

01:05:50   extrusion where you could slurry your [TS]

01:05:53   player plastics into like an as-needed [TS]

01:05:55   plastic with without off-gassing or [TS]

01:05:57   outgassing yeah i think i think i think [TS]

01:05:59   absolutely although what what you would [TS]

01:06:02   end up with what you end up with is a [TS]

01:06:04   little pile of carbon and some very [TS]

01:06:07   highly refined oil and you could sell [TS]

01:06:10   the oil in the open market and then we [TS]

01:06:13   would then you sequester the carbon and [TS]

01:06:16   everybody everybody would have you know [TS]

01:06:18   potentially have a little neighborhood [TS]

01:06:19   carbon sink where you would you know you [TS]

01:06:22   take your you take your carbon and and [TS]

01:06:24   and all throw down one hole and then [TS]

01:06:26   then make diamonds [TS]

01:06:28   [Music] [TS]

01:06:29   with you know when pressed and pressed [TS]

01:06:30   the carbon into until it was until [TS]

01:06:33   eternity and every step of the way [TS]

01:06:34   pressure of some sort is going to be [TS]

01:06:36   important in the supertrain it's really [TS]

01:06:38   going to be about different kinds of [TS]

01:06:39   pressure of physical emotional but in [TS]

01:06:43   the right place at the right time and [TS]

01:06:44   eventually having some kind of a fucking [TS]

01:06:45   diamond it ends up being a still it ends [TS]

01:06:48   up in every house has a little still who [TS]

01:06:50   and you throw everything into and you're [TS]

01:06:52   the revenuer this still cooks it down [TS]

01:06:55   and at the end you have some magnesium [TS]

01:06:57   and you have some you know some you have [TS]

01:07:01   a little bit of you know trace platinum [TS]

01:07:03   and palladium menu you collect those [TS]

01:07:06   things until you have enough of that of [TS]

01:07:08   that to sell on the open market then you [TS]

01:07:10   have oil and carbon and and you know [TS]

01:07:14   hopefully fresh rolls of toilet paper [TS]

01:07:15   but for reasons that will be obvious [TS]

01:07:17   soon and doubt i will ever literally [TS]

01:07:20   probably just delete my entire computer [TS]

01:07:22   having said this it isn't fair to say [TS]

01:07:24   that the slurry and extrusion process [TS]

01:07:26   and the production of oil inside of the [TS]

01:07:28   consumers home it's fair to say that [TS]

01:07:30   that's a little bit of a trap Street [TS]

01:07:32   like that's how it'll go at first and [TS]

01:07:33   you go holy shit [TS]

01:07:34   I've got some oil for the open market it [TS]

01:07:36   just seems to me that in time [TS]

01:07:38   that's something super trains gonna want [TS]

01:07:40   / need I see what you mean I are you are [TS]

01:07:43   you guys okay here's the thing you're a [TS]

01:07:45   man who is self-sustaining right we'll [TS]

01:07:48   e-mail when I wish I wish I were more [TS]

01:07:51   self-sustaining looks like you moving [TS]

01:07:52   closer rather than further i hope so I [TS]

01:07:54   hope so that's a hermetic per se my goal [TS]

01:07:56   would you like people to be [TS]

01:07:57   self-sustaining or would you like to [TS]

01:07:58   talk to literally become like pot people [TS]

01:08:00   that you can extrude resources from well [TS]

01:08:02   you see now you remember the the R crumb [TS]

01:08:05   a comic strip where he draws the [TS]

01:08:09   progression you have that on your wall [TS]

01:08:11   I read on the wall I have a version of [TS]

01:08:12   it that was done by Tony millionaire but [TS]

01:08:15   the original our crumb you know he [TS]

01:08:16   starts with the pastoral scene and then [TS]

01:08:18   they chop down the forest that built the [TS]

01:08:19   railroads and then it's a town and then [TS]

01:08:21   it's a and it's a city and then it's a [TS]

01:08:23   then in his estimation it was this grit [TS]

01:08:26   the last panel was this gross so [TS]

01:08:29   seventies reality was where he he [TS]

01:08:33   clearly his editorial voice was like [TS]

01:08:35   this is what it's come to [TS]

01:08:36   but but in the original panel he did he [TS]

01:08:39   did a couple of extra panels where he [TS]

01:08:42   was like we're here [TS]

01:08:43   worried he thought about the future and [TS]

01:08:45   and one of his one of his future escapes [TS]

01:08:48   was this classic seventies utopia where [TS]

01:08:52   people were living in treehouses like [TS]

01:08:54   the Swiss Family Robinson and they were [TS]

01:08:57   recycling and they were and and the [TS]

01:08:59   metas a version that's one version that [TS]

01:09:02   that I know leftists carry around in [TS]

01:09:04   their mind which is that we're all gonna [TS]

01:09:06   have solar panels on the on the roofs of [TS]

01:09:08   our houses and we're gonna be selling [TS]

01:09:10   electricity back to the grid [TS]

01:09:12   we're not only going to we are not only [TS]

01:09:14   going to be self-sufficient but we're [TS]

01:09:15   gonna be selling it back to the grid as [TS]

01:09:18   far as super trains interest in this it [TS]

01:09:20   really i think it depends on who after [TS]

01:09:22   I'm gone through the next CEO talks like [TS]

01:09:25   that [TS]

01:09:25   don't talk like that it happens in our [TS]

01:09:27   family we all pass to the great beyond [TS]

01:09:29   and super train i think well while you [TS]

01:09:32   know while i am the lime the font of [TS]

01:09:36   supertrain I think we can trust that [TS]

01:09:37   supertrain wants everyone to become more [TS]

01:09:39   self-sufficient but just as super train [TS]

01:09:43   arrived it reaches its kind of full [TS]

01:09:46   potential that's getting my destination [TS]

01:09:47   if you like that will be right well you [TS]

01:09:49   know there is super train has no one [TS]

01:09:53   destination but i'll be just about the [TS]

01:09:55   time that i am ready to I'm ready to to [TS]

01:09:58   moving on to a more pastoral life and [TS]

01:10:01   who takes over super train after me the [TS]

01:10:03   young people if they can I mean [TS]

01:10:06   supertrain could go either way and it [TS]

01:10:08   could be it could be the supertrain [TS]

01:10:10   meets needs all that oil is it depends [TS]

01:10:13   on what kind are green and we're looking [TS]

01:10:14   for if I may say look if you want to [TS]

01:10:17   kind of green and CFL light bulbs [TS]

01:10:18   supertrain could kick it could go on [TS]

01:10:20   this track right if we want the kind of [TS]

01:10:22   green that comes from literally stealing [TS]

01:10:24   refined oil from from the [TS]

01:10:25   african-american families home [TS]

01:10:28   that's a different kind of green that's [TS]

01:10:29   a different green conceivably that you [TS]

01:10:31   know there's and that's that's part of [TS]

01:10:33   that's that is the case of the liberal [TS]

01:10:35   imagination right there are the people [TS]

01:10:36   that want the green that is represented [TS]

01:10:38   by the prius with which is a kind of [TS]

01:10:41   green that required that your old car [TS]

01:10:43   was the old car was destroyed and this [TS]

01:10:46   new car was manufactured and shipped to [TS]

01:10:48   you from overseas in order that you save [TS]

01:10:52   some like a [TS]

01:10:55   almost done measurably small and a giant [TS]

01:10:57   Chinese boat run by cheap oil so that [TS]

01:11:00   you could get here and then gas in it [TS]

01:11:02   right you're perfectly to save the [TS]

01:11:04   environment you're perfectly fine [TS]

01:11:05   fifteen-year-old honda civic that you [TS]

01:11:07   could have repaired and driven for [TS]

01:11:09   another 25 years you have now you've had [TS]

01:11:12   crushed and recycled and you've bought a [TS]

01:11:14   brand-new thing that will be shipped [TS]

01:11:16   here in a coal-burning a supertanker did [TS]

01:11:21   you get stops and paper towels and that [TS]

01:11:23   as long as you're coming over there [TS]

01:11:24   where you know like the whole bilge of [TS]

01:11:27   the thing is full of black and pirates [TS]

01:11:29   cranking on on big sweat wheels and it's [TS]

01:11:35   like hello it's green this is green like [TS]

01:11:38   it happens all the time in my [TS]

01:11:39   neighborhood weather like this house [TS]

01:11:40   that's a hundred and twenty years old [TS]

01:11:42   that is built with completely perfect [TS]

01:11:45   old-growth fur we're gonna rip this down [TS]

01:11:47   and we're gonna we're gonna staple [TS]

01:11:49   together this this rupee you know this [TS]

01:11:51   thing made out of formaldehyde and like [TS]

01:11:55   off-gassing particle board and we're [TS]

01:11:58   gonna we're gonna post a sign out front [TS]

01:12:00   that says green construction and people [TS]

01:12:03   and we're gonna charge nine hundred [TS]

01:12:04   thousand dollars apiece for these for [TS]

01:12:06   these condos and that in it in people's [TS]

01:12:09   imagination is some kind of net [TS]

01:12:11   improvement because the new place has a [TS]

01:12:13   more efficient air conditioning system [TS]

01:12:16   and it's like the whatever kind of green [TS]

01:12:18   that is super train is gonna eat that is [TS]

01:12:22   going to eat that green is going to [TS]

01:12:23   graze super train is going to turn all [TS]

01:12:25   of those places back into their [TS]

01:12:27   component superfine oil carbon-carbon / [TS]

01:12:34   diamonds and then all the other base [TS]

01:12:38   metals all the base metals and there's [TS]

01:12:41   not gonna be any waste a little bit of [TS]

01:12:44   Soylent Green my pic my head I people [TS]

01:12:49   use every part of the population [TS]

01:12:51   haha you know here's the thing in the [TS]

01:12:56   Liberals that want to live in a tree [TS]

01:12:57   house god bless you i think we have all [TS]

01:12:59   of us all of us are these are [TS]

01:13:01   intelligent people like us at one time [TS]

01:13:03   or another have all been liberals [TS]

01:13:04   liberals and if all wanted to live in a [TS]

01:13:06   tree house [TS]

01:13:07   I just would like three men out [TS]

01:13:08   bookcases are you know absolutely i [TS]

01:13:11   invent a real secret passage of all [TS]

01:13:13   growth you know and and but but the [TS]

01:13:15   thing is this interesting to me [TS]

01:13:16   I'm not a historian but does strike me [TS]

01:13:18   that a lot of these visions are really [TS]

01:13:20   there about two blocks away from living [TS]

01:13:24   on a collective in the Soviet Union and [TS]

01:13:26   that is so not it's it's not a kibbutz [TS]

01:13:28   it's not gonna keep trying that's some [TS]

01:13:30   chuck norris talk right there [TS]

01:13:32   you think so well am i doing that I [TS]

01:13:35   don't know I'm just saying I mean the [TS]

01:13:36   thing is what starts out as let's make [TS]

01:13:38   potlucks together you know pretty soon [TS]

01:13:41   you're out there you're working on a [TS]

01:13:42   tractor with you like it all depends on [TS]

01:13:44   who's in charge and that's the that's [TS]

01:13:45   the problem simple right [TS]

01:13:46   people are so excited to seed the [TS]

01:13:49   responsibility for so many things to [TS]

01:13:52   somebody else you know it's somebody [TS]

01:13:54   else's problem somebody comes along with [TS]

01:13:56   the train that's not the supertrain it's [TS]

01:13:58   the one super train they go oh look i'm [TS]

01:14:00   an engineer and I'm green they're gonna [TS]

01:14:02   hook the fucking cars to that and just [TS]

01:14:04   an end and close their eyes and think of [TS]

01:14:06   England had beer and be led right down [TS]

01:14:08   that that that primrose path [TS]

01:14:11   whoo-hoo that you need to be able to [TS]

01:14:14   identify super train from imposter [TS]

01:14:16   trains have thoughts from the fall [TS]

01:14:19   supertrain well and when I think I think [TS]

01:14:21   we're developing were developing a [TS]

01:14:23   mechanism by which people will know the [TS]

01:14:26   real super train when you feel pain but [TS]

01:14:28   you're grateful for it thats hanging [TS]

01:14:29   super trains working here here you know [TS]

01:14:32   speaking of which i was thinking about [TS]

01:14:34   means of egress from your house [TS]

01:14:36   yeah have you considered a zip line from [TS]

01:14:39   here from your living room down to the [TS]

01:14:41   rules say I have not and be my daughter [TS]

01:14:43   my daughter loves ziplines i think i [TS]

01:14:46   think i could sell a zip line from that [TS]

01:14:50   from that from your top story down who [TS]

01:14:52   to I mean the zipline could go [TS]

01:14:55   conceivably all the way to the already [TS]

01:14:58   seeing it I'm already seeing it i mean i [TS]

01:15:00   don't feel too much right ever since we [TS]

01:15:02   moved to san mateo we definitely don't [TS]

01:15:04   live in san francisco where we keep [TS]

01:15:06   talking about but you know I'm in the [TS]

01:15:07   cisco you live in a house like ours you [TS]

01:15:09   say live on the second floor you really [TS]

01:15:11   have enough third floor right the first [TS]

01:15:12   your way up there get the pancaking [TS]

01:15:14   right because a during the earthquake it [TS]

01:15:16   goes straight down together or garage on [TS]

01:15:18   the bottom and [TS]

01:15:19   I've been heavily gotta watch that so [TS]

01:15:20   we're taking on the third floor lot of [TS]

01:15:21   walking [TS]

01:15:22   but here's the thing we also have the [TS]

01:15:23   park we got telephone poles we got some [TS]

01:15:25   you know red-tail Hawks in the park [TS]

01:15:27   they'd like to sit on the telephone pole [TS]

01:15:28   I'm just saying if I understand what [TS]

01:15:30   you're saying week maybe we could [TS]

01:15:31   disguise this as like like a comcast [TS]

01:15:34   thing but there could be an innocuous [TS]

01:15:35   looking cable not literally a rope even [TS]

01:15:39   a cable that would attach in such a way [TS]

01:15:41   that we could slide down on a zip line [TS]

01:15:43   from the from the top floor the problem [TS]

01:15:45   is that the city inspectors are going to [TS]

01:15:46   see that eventually they're going to say [TS]

01:15:48   what the hell is that what you need is a [TS]

01:15:51   harpoon gun huh [TS]

01:15:54   if you had a harpoon gun that was [TS]

01:15:56   attached to some cable like this a big [TS]

01:18:48   be functioning at a higher level from a [TS]

01:18:50   strategic standpoint of time to [TS]

01:18:51   field-strip cheap exactly we're going to [TS]

01:18:53   be we're going to be scanning the [TS]

01:18:54   horizon who with binoculars but we have [TS]

01:19:21   cross movies the road to Tierra del [TS]

01:19:23   Fuego is a post-apocalyptic trip was [TS]

01:19:53   of the first thing she said as we were [TS]

01:19:55   driving around she said you know it [TS]

01:19:57   seems it seems perfect here it's a it's [TS]

01:20:00   a it's almost paradise what is the [TS]

01:20:02   downside tell me the tell me the real [TS]

01:20:04   story what's the downside and I said [TS]

01:20:06   downside honestly volcanoes and [TS]

01:20:08   earthquakes like you live in toronto you [TS]

01:20:12   don't have any volcanoes and you don't [TS]

01:20:15   have any earthquakes but here in the [TS]

01:20:17   West the great you know the if if you'll [TS]

01:20:20   forgive me the 800-pound hippopotamus in [TS]

01:20:23   the room is that we're all living in the [TS]

01:20:25   shadow of a of a very very active and in [TS]

01:20:29   geological time like super young active [TS]

01:20:33   volcanic range and we're right on the [TS]

01:20:36   water where the earthquakes create [TS]

01:20:37   tsunamis it's basically it is basically [TS]

01:20:40   a volcano earthquake tsunami confess i [TS]

01:20:43   think i think you put the fear in that [TS]

01:20:45   gal and I know you put the fear me i [TS]

01:20:47   have not given a thought forgive me for [TS]

01:20:49   saying except for maybe making a plaster [TS]

01:20:52   of Paris volcano when I was in college I [TS]

01:20:55   I haven't thought about volcanoes since [TS]

01:20:57   mount st. Helens I wasn't paying a huge [TS]

01:20:59   amount of attention and then you [TS]

01:21:00   describe something to me that I found [TS]

01:21:02   chillin [TS]

01:21:03   I and my penis see step in my body [TS]

01:21:07   because you describe a volcano situation [TS]

01:21:10   that i found completely chillin and [TS]

01:21:11   implausible but the more you described [TS]

01:21:12   it the more I realized that we might be [TS]

01:21:14   getting there some kind of Cormac [TS]

01:21:15   McCarthy situations you mind sharing [TS]

01:21:17   with our listeners the the volcano in a [TS]

01:21:19   mountain scenario so you're talking [TS]

01:21:21   about you're talking about the you're [TS]

01:21:23   talking about I'm talking about oh you [TS]

01:21:25   didn't really know about the secret [TS]

01:21:26   volcano that isn't really supposed to be [TS]

01:21:28   there but with with the with the with [TS]

01:21:31   the zit light bulb olas coming out [TS]

01:21:34   because i'm fucking chillin all these [TS]

01:21:36   mountains here in the West that run from [TS]

01:21:38   Vancouver all the way down to Mount [TS]

01:21:42   Shasta and beyond [TS]

01:21:44   they're all they are all super duper [TS]

01:21:47   active volcanoes there's no I mean right [TS]

01:21:50   now they all appear to be fairly dormant [TS]

01:21:52   but they're sitting as the as the [TS]

01:21:56   Pacific plate [TS]

01:21:58   seduces beneath the the American [TS]

01:22:01   continental plates they go down there [TS]

01:22:03   and it turns into lava right under those [TS]

01:22:05   mountains and those mountains are just [TS]

01:22:06   they're just boiling underneath and they [TS]

01:22:11   seemed peaceful and birds are flying [TS]

01:22:12   around them and they have lots of [TS]

01:22:14   glaciers on them in their their national [TS]

01:22:16   parks people ski on them but really [TS]

01:22:20   without very much warning there will be [TS]

01:22:22   some warning but without very much [TS]

01:22:23   morning but that much extremely useful [TS]

01:22:26   warning because you're not going to get [TS]

01:22:28   a by the way you know 30 days from now [TS]

01:22:30   some shit might go down [TS]

01:22:32   what will you know one never knows they [TS]

01:22:33   could be there could be lots of what I [TS]

01:22:35   mean we're all overdue for the super [TS]

01:22:38   earthquake and the super earthquake is [TS]

01:22:41   not it is you know tied to all this [TS]

01:22:45   volcanism and it is conceivable that the [TS]

01:22:49   super earthquake will ignite a new round [TS]

01:22:52   of volcanic activity in some of these [TS]

01:22:57   massive mountains that are hovering just [TS]

01:22:59   over the you know just outside of the [TS]

01:23:02   city limits [TS]

01:23:03   certainly here in Seattle Mount Rainier [TS]

01:23:04   the largest mountain north america could [TS]

01:23:08   could erupt and at which point those [TS]

01:23:11   ten-thousand-year-old glaciers on its [TS]

01:23:14   surface will will instantly liquefy into [TS]

01:23:18   a superheated a hundred 200 foot tall [TS]

01:23:23   like lahar of boiling mud and ash and [TS]

01:23:30   can you describe something was a cross [TS]

01:23:32   between is it and uh a portal from a [TS]

01:23:35   scarred combined with the conflagration [TS]

01:23:37   where there could be some kind of a [TS]

01:23:39   herniated mountain that the UH that a [TS]

01:23:42   volcano kind of finds its way out of and [TS]

01:23:44   then explodes like a like a nail bomb [TS]

01:23:47   what you're describing something where [TS]

01:23:49   like it gets its own imaginatively slice [TS]

01:23:51   the top of a mountain goat oh there's [TS]

01:23:54   volcano in here we weren't ready for [TS]

01:23:55   this [TS]

01:23:56   well yeah you're doing a good job of [TS]

01:23:57   describing it there's a volcano in every [TS]

01:23:59   single one of those my god jesus jones [TS]

01:24:00   every single one [TS]

01:24:02   what's it gonna cost for us to get a [TS]

01:24:04   jeep should we get a couple of three [TS]

01:24:05   chips and just kind of have them ready [TS]

01:24:07   what we should be what we should be [TS]

01:24:08   ready for is to commandeer a Jeep [TS]

01:24:12   oh that's good yeah and this is you know [TS]

01:24:15   this is the thing where I wear this is [TS]

01:24:17   what Ted Bundy or Proteus would do you [TS]

01:24:19   don't have the same vehicle you change [TS]

01:24:20   your shirt you put shoe polish in your [TS]

01:24:21   hair and there's still three jeeps [TS]

01:24:23   behind right that's right that's exactly [TS]

01:24:24   so so in that sense i mean knowing you [TS]

01:24:28   at and and knowing me I think my skill [TS]

01:24:31   set it was going to handle the [TS]

01:24:33   commandeering of jeeps over and and you [TS]

01:24:37   know I i I'm going to train my daughter [TS]

01:24:40   to to have that same skill set so that [TS]

01:24:43   the two of us can work in concert to be [TS]

01:24:45   to be trading up trading jeeps we don't [TS]

01:24:49   work in light-weight teams in pairs [TS]

01:24:51   where we've learned the right hand [TS]

01:24:52   signals and camouflage make-up to be [TS]

01:24:54   able to you know if you like using our [TS]

01:24:56   scopes we'd be able to communicate at a [TS]

01:24:58   distance you could even have a [TS]

01:24:59   staggering of cheats i think that's [TS]

01:25:01   what's called a murder of crows we can [TS]

01:25:02   have a staggering of jeep and decoy [TS]

01:25:04   jeeps along the way so that we might [TS]

01:25:06   have one you might jump in a hoopty that [TS]

01:25:08   takes you somewhere we split up [TS]

01:25:09   maybe for the sake of argument there or [TS]

01:25:12   five or six other groups of people who [TS]

01:25:14   look exactly like us no like the gang's [TS]

01:25:16   reason the gangs where the white [TS]

01:25:17   t-shirts and hoodies II know I think [TS]

01:25:19   we'll be in a situation somewhere in [TS]

01:25:21   Central America where we station you [TS]

01:25:23   sitting looking at a map which may or [TS]

01:25:27   may not have trap streets trap streets [TS]

01:25:30   and you'll be sitting on a sitting on [TS]

01:25:33   you know four or five crates of paper [TS]

01:25:36   towels and toilet paper already smoking [TS]

01:25:38   you could potentially you could be [TS]

01:25:40   smoking a Cuban cigar let's say and a [TS]

01:25:44   down the road comes a military convoy [TS]

01:25:46   and they see you there in here and you [TS]

01:25:48   get up kinda hopefully like waving your [TS]

01:25:50   hands hello hello help I you know I have [TS]

01:25:53   all this toilet paper and paper towels [TS]

01:25:54   but no vehicle and the and they're going [TS]

01:25:57   to be like load into a look [TS]

01:26:00   Holden not into a false sense of [TS]

01:26:02   security but they're going to be so [TS]

01:26:03   mesmerized by all this toilet paper that [TS]

01:26:05   they don't have access to a paper towel [TS]

01:26:07   certainly not in two days in the jungle [TS]

01:26:09   that is going to look like it like a [TS]

01:26:12   crate of diamonds to these guns they're [TS]

01:26:15   gonna be like we streets hit-the hit-the [TS]

01:26:18   hit-the money here we have the [TS]

01:26:19   cigarettes for rimming [TS]

01:26:20   exactly it's like look at all that [TS]

01:26:22   fucking toilet paper who and then while [TS]

01:26:24   you are while you're holding up your map [TS]

01:26:26   pointing at the trap Street going where [TS]

01:26:28   is this place then I and my daughter [TS]

01:26:30   haha 67 zip zip line we come in on a [TS]

01:26:35   zipline throwing knives throwing [TS]

01:26:37   throwing stars a chicken who and and [TS]

01:26:41   then we have a then we have a new convoy [TS]

01:26:43   of new convoy full of whatever it is [TS]

01:26:45   that bad boy I think I think decoys I [TS]

01:26:47   think decoys are powerful you know [TS]

01:26:48   Howard Howard Hughes did a lot of this [TS]

01:26:50   with decoys it in a lawsuit his own [TS]

01:26:53   airline suit him TWA suit him and they [TS]

01:26:56   couldn't serve the subpoena they could [TS]

01:26:57   not get to him no matter what because he [TS]

01:27:01   hired he's hired other guys with really [TS]

01:27:02   long haul [TS]

01:27:05   there were lots of instances where he [TS]

01:27:06   did have like those decoy the decoy cars [TS]

01:27:10   and stuff like that i think that works [TS]

01:27:11   better than most people think also I [TS]

01:27:13   must say if you have sealed yourself up [TS]

01:27:14   in a room with Kleenex boxes and bottles [TS]

01:27:17   for your own urine and you just simply [TS]

01:27:19   refuse to open the door when your lawyer [TS]

01:27:21   has been five years has never met you I [TS]

01:27:23   think and Reggie you're moving in the [TS]

01:27:25   right direction [TS]

01:27:26   yeah you know what I mean even though [TS]

01:27:28   let's be honest he is living underneath [TS]

01:27:29   the paper cup with like 50 fucking [TS]

01:27:31   drawings of locks exactly the same size [TS]

01:27:32   on them like people in in my town now [TS]

01:27:36   here in Seattle they do not know that [TS]

01:27:39   they realize that I have a lot of [TS]

01:27:41   different cars they're not sure what car [TS]

01:27:44   might be driving in any game my Nana [TS]

01:27:45   scooter and I and scooter mba and [TS]

01:27:48   they're also aware that i changed the my [TS]

01:27:50   hair and and facial hair configurations [TS]

01:27:53   you know fairly regularly and i think [TS]

01:27:56   what i'm trying to craft here in NC at [TS]

01:27:59   least is the sense that any car could be [TS]

01:28:02   being driven by me and then and so it [TS]

01:28:08   might it might have it might have an [TS]

01:28:10   Irish seen superstar in it it even if [TS]

01:28:15   you really are discussed Ellis story [TS]

01:28:17   someday but you could you're driving all [TS]

01:28:18   kinds of things or you're not driving [TS]

01:28:20   lots of things we don't know that could [TS]

01:28:21   be John Robert for all we know that's [TS]

01:28:22   right it could you see you pass a mini [TS]

01:28:24   van full of nuns could be John Roderick [TS]

01:28:26   driving and so you [TS]

01:28:28   to you have to be that when a satellite [TS]

01:28:31   gets in their car and start driving [TS]

01:28:32   around the streets they have to be [TS]

01:28:34   vigilant have to be aware that i could [TS]

01:28:38   be in any vehicle at any time and they [TS]

01:28:39   could be in my way I could be headed to [TS]

01:28:42   a location somewhere where i have not [TS]

01:28:44   really read the map and i'm on my way to [TS]

01:28:48   you know to an important meeting that [TS]

01:28:50   i'm already 15 minutes late but I'd but [TS]

01:28:52   i purposely didn't actually figure out [TS]

01:28:54   what the address was not your fault and [TS]

01:28:57   I and they need to keep moving and get [TS]

01:28:59   out of my way and so I i think i think [TS]

01:29:01   there's just there there's a there's a [TS]

01:29:03   considerable portion of the population [TS]

01:29:06   in Seattle that is beginning that is [TS]
