Speaker 1

And that was the funniest thing to me is because it is because all of Obama's presidency, everybody who's like, show us the aliens, let me see the aliens. Because everybody thought we were good. Everybody thought you was fine. Uh. They were like, oh, we live in a post racial society. We don't have any problems. Let me see the aliens. And then the second Trump dropped the aliens, You're like, we don't give a funk about no goddamn aliens. Bro,

you're you're mean to women. We don't give a about aliens. There's human kids in cases. I don't give a funk about the alien kids. Crop ships in your aliens are racist. Also, money, martial intern stuff I can't tell me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

There it is there, It is there. It is. Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to another spectacular episode of My Mama Told Me, the podcast where we died deep, deep into the pockets of black conspiracy theories and we finally worked to prove that Neil de grass Tyson will be the first person to get canceled for sexually assaulting a woman in zero gravity. The man has the money to go to space, he has to know how to go to space, but he can't keep them fingers to himself. Kneel the grass.

Tyson will get a woman in space and he'll he'll he'll be a legend in that way. I don't know if legends the right word. He said. It's not a heroic moves Niel is gonna do. But we haven't gotten rid of him, so he'll figure out a way to finger a lady against her will. Anyway, I'm your host, slankstan Kerman as always, I'm I'm coming in hot, baby. That's my style. You know me, you listen every week. I'm having a wild man. I woke up today and somebody had signed me up for Filipino uh Cupid, which

apparently is just a Filipino dating site. They had signed me up against my will, much like a Neil de Grass Tyson Wood and and they they had signed me up to date men on Filipino o'cuban, and all the men that are being recommended to me are white men, which is it's all getting very complicated because I can't tell if they think I'm Filipino and interested in white men, or or if this is some sort of prank. If this is Ashton Cutcher type situation where he's coming in

and he's he's pranking me. I don't know. None of it feels good and I I can't seem to figure out how to unsign myself up from this experience. But we'll get to that later, my guests, I assume he's not on Filipino o'cuban. I think he probably has a lot more cool ship going on than to be Uh, you'd be surprised, be surprised very much on Filipino okay Cupid and also not into it that he doesn't like it. And you know what, I like him. He's very funny.

You're gonna know him from from his album Okay, very hilarious. You know him from Comedy Central. You know him from just generally talking a whole lot of shit about anime on the internet. Easy animate nigger, You're gonna love him. Give it up for you doing a tram? What's going on? What up? Digital? Applause there for you, big dog? What you're doing on on Filipino Cupid? What're you doing over there? Oh?

You know, just trying to first of all, just expressing my my love for East Asian uh, and and a little bit Spanish heritage. I just love that about people, you know. I just love people that are half of things, you know. I just love people with who really throw you a curveball with a with an Asian face and the Spanish last name. You know somebody? Sorry you are Rodriguez? What is I'm just trying to think about colonialism through

throughout my entire dating experience. Right, there's no reason to settle in and enjoy each other's company, not when colonialism could be a part of the conversation. Exactly exactly. You ever just be at a dance and you gotta leave room for colonialism right there in the middle. It's a little bit of room. Teachers come through with the ruler. Hold on, I can't put all that colonialism in there back. I don't see and I don't see any room for for King Philip whichever one I see. Your penis, where's

the manifest Destiny? Put that in in the middle of you. Let me just put on manifest Destiny's Child, right quick? DJ one too? Is that what you say to DJs one to one to Yeah, you gotta cue him up because otherwise they won't know when to play. Yeah, of course you came to us. I'm very excited because you came to us with a conspiracy theory that I had never heard of before. I literally never in my life had I heard this, you said, And it's it's all very exciting. I want to make I want to give

us plenty of time to unpack this. But you said, my mama told me the dog One tribe and Molly is from out of space. Yes, there's been a lot of just a lot of conflicting information about them. I don't even really remember when I found out, because I was not like young. It was relatively recently, but then, but I was just kind of like I think I was.

I think I had really gotten interested into the in the whole like ancient alien and ship, mostly for the sake of like talking about white people, because I'm like, I know for a fact that y'all are just using the ship to discredit eyptions and all this stuff. They're always like, who built the pyramids? It was aliens who

built the pyramids, and sucking South America. It was as And I don't really remember how I stumbled upon these people, But basically, the whole idea is there's two stars, serious a which is visible to the naked eye and serious B which orbits serious A and is not visible to the naked eye, and they like a weird amount of knowledge about those two stars. Yeah, the meaning that that the tribe themselves had a weird amount of knowledge about those two stars in a way that white people cannot explain.

They're like constantly being like, how the fuck did you, uh, West African motherfucker's figured this ship out? And they're like, I don't know, dog like shit, man, oh, mermaid looking alien George, Um the hell? Apparently they told some this like French dude, I forget his first name, but his last name is like gree Hole or something like that. He went and like visited them and just on and off for like a decade or something like that. At one point spent a full month over there just talking

to them about aliens. And they were just straight up like, yeah, just the alien came and told us about these stars. Oh you mean Humphrey. No, yeah, Humphrey is here? Yeah? Oh you know, hum free, that's crazy, that's crazy. Let's let's take a step back for a second, because I do think that there's there's a lot that I want to unpack in your experience and all of this before we even getting the nooks and crannies of this, of

this conspiracy theory. How much do you consider yourself a believer in in aliens and extraterrestrial life forms and all that ship. I think in general, I'm a person who is like, the universe is so vast that there's no way there's nothing. It doesn't. It just doesn't. It's just inconceivable that there is nothing out there. It doesn't make any sense to me. But the notion that they've been here and they've like built ship for us and we don't know about them, that's such a big secret to keep.

That's such a weird instinct. And I like the way you're phrasing it, But even like on a basic level, the presumption that somebody else would come to your house and build something nice for you and then just leave without like wanting credit or at least wanting to see you enjoy the thing is fucking nuts. That's insane. Like if if I mounted somebody's TV at their house every day, I'd be like, Hey, how's that TV? Hey, Hey, just checking on the TV. You ain't fell out the wall yet,

that's you're still up. That's crazy. If I was an alien, I would stand by the pyramids, like, like, you know who did that? Damn somebody built something pretty nice for y'all. Yeah, Like, I mean, if you think about it this way, like Twitter added the option to retweet yourself, and now everybody

does that constantly. Constantly tell me, tell me you wouldn't build a pyramid, and then just like do the equivalent of retweeting that ship every Yeah, or if nothing else, if we're gonna follow that Twitter analogy, I'm gonna go put up some new tweets in every other fucking continent, in every city I can find. I'm not just building one pyramid and then going about my business. Now that joke, kid, I'm about to put up some more. Yeah, I'm gonna build.

I'm gonna build like a new building in every single country. And then under that building, I'm gonna just put a little link to the first building the pyramids, be like just a reminder that I did this ship, just say I'll know I'm consistently hilarious online. If you enjoy this pyramid,

you may also enjoy my earlier work. Yeah. No, I I think it's it's a silly thing to presume that people that these space creatures are just doing these altruistic things for us and then not wanting any version of credit. And maybe there's an argument that they're more sophisticated and don't need the credit. They're like egos have evolved past

that that want. But why for why? And look like sometimes we maybe they just view us as so low on the on the like tear of animals, where they just don't think we can even perceive that they did something for it, like we we do, like we do build little enclosures for animals and zoo and stuff like that, and maybe they just think of that it's like keeping us sort of like like whatever their equivalent of a zoo is, you know, like we hang around the pyramids

all the time. That's interesting that this is this is kind of like a birdhouse. If I put a birdhouse outside, I do that because I'm like the birds are like that. But I don't need to like stand by it and be like you like it birds like the thing. Yeah, Like I got my little binoculars. I don't need to I don't need to talk to you about it. I watch you. Yeah, because maybe they have maybe they just

have limited access to like closed circuit TV and space. MM. So they just little cameras on the on the pyramids, on all the tourist sites. Okay, see they also at handed. So you believe then that that, yes, there's something out there, absolutely there. It's it's unlikely at least that that we are here alone in the middle of this vast vacuum of whatever. Yeah. I think it's more of a negative belief than a positive. More it's it's very unlikely that

there's nothing, then there is definitely something. Okay, if that makes sense, I got you. It's the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. Yeah. I take a very very black revolutionary apprecia space go. I like that, why this space gotta be black? I love that energy first space. But don't they ever talk about the white matter? I love that it starts to kind of sound like you're advocating for white people when I say white, mattess to wait a minute, what have I done. I've muddied

the narrative. All right. I'm curious to know. Was this something that that you grew up with, where your parents believers in in space and aliens, or is this something that you had to discover on your own. My mom was very much not that person. Actually, I don't know that much about my mom's beliefs outside of just like religion, because I never just I just never asked questions. Sure, but my dad never explicitly expressed the belief in aliens. But was was always such a conspiracy type dude that

always had me. He always had me curious about like ship that I don't really understand. My dad was the type of dude who like folded a lot of twenty dollar bills in two Okay, I know that guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I want awakening, and then just repeated it over and over again. Yeah, my dad, My dad. One time, I don't know if you ever played Assassin's Creed. The game talks about a lot of like old conspiracies and like

templars and ship like that. And I remember one time I was playing that game and a villain in the game was explaining some old ship, some historical ship, and my dad was like, listen up, you might learn something. Never explained to me what I might learn, But that's the type of dude my dad is, like, he'll never explain to you what you're learning, but he will tell

you you're you're learning something right now. He also for the record, For the record, he said the same thing when uh, when Black Eyed Peas whereas Love came on the radio. So I tend to take it with a grain of salt. Sorry, he was like, listen to Fergie. You might learn something. You might learn something. People killing

and people dying. I love that. I I do innuinely love somebody who's like, hey, anytime somebody saying some ship that ain't standard knowledge, you might learn something instead of admitting that like, yeah, people bullshit on both ends of

the spectrum, people just making some crazy stuff. Yeah. It's a thing that my that I always respected about my dad is that he never he was frequently wrong, but you would never he would never leave himself open to you thinking he would or do you like, openly saying he was wrong. He would always feel those little gaps.

The nice thing about what it sounds like is he also, like, uh, introduced to you at least the possibility of like questioning right like, which is what we need in a parental figure. Is I think a more a greater advantage than having a parent who tells you the exact right stuff all the time. Is apparently goes, I don't know, ask more questions and figure out if maybe some of this ship

is just off base. Yeah, exactly. He planned just enough of the seed to be like, maybe she is not quite what it seems, and so that I think that is like the extent of my concrete conspiracy experience, right. My my dad is a big questioner of everything. He's like a very active uh socialist. He he is sort of like anti a lot of what the government represents, and not in the Bernie Sanders kind of way, but

in the actual like uh, like he's an anarchist. Yeah. Well, no, I'm not gonna call him an anarchist, certainly not on a recorded audio media, but I will say that he's, uh, it's much less of like, let's reform the government the way that the government already exists, and it's more of like, no, let's just recreate this ship the way that the people

are fully in charge. But I say all that to say he's he's not a believer in God or the heavens, but I would have to imagine that because of his want to question things, he would probably be believe in the possibility of aliens, or at least life outside of

the human existence. Yeah, it's it's also such a very confusing thing just because like I can't I, on the one hand, believe that they are probably aliens, but I also feel like I feel like they used conspiracies like that to distract us from ship that's actually going on in front of us. Hold on, wait a minute, I just yeah, I'm listening. Look, I just feel like, like, did you did you not notice like every time Trump did something fun up they dropped a new alien, they

did everything. It was like every couple of weeks, it was like, by the way, we found new alien and just chilling. We didn't had this. We just had this thing locked up just in case y'all found something out. Hold on that alien. These things upset, just throw the alien out, just what they say. My favorite thing was that they started they thought that then he could distract

us with just alien movies. At first that like, ah, he was acting up and they gave us like predator versus alien to or whatever the funk it was, and then he kept acting it up there Like I think we're gonna have to give these niggas a real one. We can't just keep showing the fictional ones anymore. It's uh, it's weird to me to think that there are entire sections of our population, very small sections obviously, who know so much more about what exists out in the in

space and the universe whatever. Uh, then we do like that they're just keeping this information from us instead of being open and honest about like what does and doesn't exist, what these things intend to do with us whatever. Yeah, And I think it's very it's just a very unfair setup, you know, because like, on the one hand, we live in a society that's very like anti science, and a lot of people are just like just refused to believe, like what you've seen in the past year, people refuse

to believe the knowledge of experts. But on but on the other hand end, if you're just a regular nigga that just sees an alien, nobody will believe, you know, not like like we don't believe like real life experience at all in that regard. But I was I had like a week or two where I was just like really like you know, deep rabbit hole on like cryptozoology, which is just like like mythical creata and the only important information I took from that is one that we

discovered guerrillas way later than I realized. When did we discover guerrillas? It was like nine five. It was like recent gorilla's new gorillas now, bro, Like gorillas were old news. These mothers are brand new. Yo. They like it was. It was like people would see a gorilla and they will be like, yo, I just saw the craziest looking man. Hey, that dude got his us all out and we should get even. Hey, this thing is throwing I don't know what he's on right now, but but we need to

get out of here. But like, the most fucked up thing about cruptozoology is like, if you, as just a without a degree human just discover a new animal, you just gotta turn that over to somebody who's a professional, and then they get to put their name on the on the animal. Right. Yeah, it's crazy. It's nuts. And it's even worse because we were talking about Trump earlier. They named some fucking animal after him recently. It might have been a monkey or fucking bacteria. I can't remember

what it was. It was something where it was meant to be ironic whatever whatever. But to your point, into the larger point of this conversation, there probably is some tribal person who discovered this ship years ago, who like has known about these things, who has lived with these things, experienced these things and had and doesn't get any credit for it, doesn't get to put their name on it because white science has been waiting their turn to say

I found it. I put my fucking flagging it. Yeah, exactly, Like everything you read about the dug On people is just like, how did these like articles that come up on like the first five results on Google her saying ship? Like, how did these primitive people that know about the about these stars when they couldn't have possibly a found this information on their own? Just like, Yo, why the funk

are you doing this? Like infantilizing bullshit likes goofy eight niggers gonna know about stars when they ain't even got their titties covered. And it's like, hey man, the titties being covered ain't got nothing to do with them understanding space. Hey, these boys out here where dance around in masks wearing grass skirts, how the funk they know about this about space? It's like maybe that's some spaceship that we're not up on, and we gotta we gotta take a step back and

go Oh, we're stupid. We we're not aware of their ship. Yeah, and you know what, I will consider this for a second. Maybe maybe they did get get visited by aliens. Do you all ever stopped to consider what Africans are doing that aliens want to chill with us and not y'all you ever stop and consider like what like maybe they're onto something that like aliens are just like yo, these niggas got it going on. Let's go build them some ship. Look at them minding their business doing doing good work

out in the world. We funk with them. We're gonna be something nice. Let's go down mount some TVs right quick, uh and then get on back into space. You know, it doesn't have to be anything. They'll pay us back eventually. Yeah, I'm gonna build him a cabinet. They head out, But dog, you know, you can keep your stuff in here. And when we put they put dead bodies in You're like, hey, that wasn't my plan, but hey, you can keep your stuff in it either way, that's fine. Yeah, look, that's

not what that's for. I usually just keep like toy and stuff in there. But like, yeah, yeah, do whatever you want. I thought you were gonna put your shoes in it. I'm gonna be honest, but hey, hey, you want to put a dead king, fine? Crazy? Do you want to toss and his wife and his living wife? Yeah that's fine. Oh you're putting all your money in there. Too. Interesting choice thought. Now I'm gonna stop. It seems like you would need that. It just feels like you would

need that. Seems like you could redistribute the wealth to maybe the people who are not doing so well in this community. But hey, you know it's yours. I built it for you. Go crazy. Hey, look, I'm not gonna look, I'm your empires don't last very long on this planet. I'm just gonna I'm just gonna throw that out there. But you don't, do you think you're all right? We're gonna take more break. We'll be back with more. You're doing a traffics thing. More and my mom would told me,

and we are bad. Yeah, we're back here with more. You know your Travis More and my mama told me. We're still talking about the possibility that aliens came to this planet and visited to the dog On people and uh and talk to him about space and ship gave him some information that whitey didn't want them to have, and now the white man is trying to take credit.

Is there any chance, is there any possibility in your mind that that they made this up, that this is all just uh complete fallacy, that these these dog on

people in fact, uh didn't actually have this experience. I you know what, I think I stumbled upon like somebody saying that, like the dude who credited them with knowing all this information about the stars was the dude who told them the ship in the first place, and then somehow in for nation got mixed up and they were like, yo, they have an uncanny knowledge of these stars even though

this dude just told them. I don't like that necessarily, but I do believe there's a little bit of room for them for like some type of misinformation here, because obviously all the wires are not connected. Sure, I like what you're saying that that essentially the information isn't perfectly shaped. So yes, there's possibility for error, for some sort of like uh misinformation being uh sort of mixed into this.

But it isn't just that some white dude gave them the info and then they repeated it over and belief. I don't believe that because they have incorporated it into their religion to a degree. Yeah, and I and so I just don't see a world where some dude told them all this ship in like nineteen thirties something, and now a whole conspiracy develops. Right, So let's let's unpack some of the the hard information here and then maybe this will help our listeners. Uh, makes sense of this

whole thing. So the the dog On people. And I'm probably saying the name wrong, but I like dog On, So I'm just gonna keep saying it incorrectly. But I like dog On because it's dog on people. Them dog on people. The dog On people that you're talking abo about, them people that believe in the aliens, the ones that

got visited by the space mermaids. They claim that this race of people called the or not people, but aliens called the Nomos from the star Serious Serious A visited Earth thousands of years ago, and the Nomos, which were described as this amphibious race, they look like mermaids, much like you're describing, walking around looking like mermaids. Tell the dog On people about a smaller star called Serious B,

which orbits Serious A, and it's invisible to the human eye. Now, for first of all, before we even get into any other information, I'm and I'm just having this realization now myself. I feel like there's not enough discussion of the fact that you're talking about people coming from a star. Yeah, star is hot, bro, Well, I should clarify that they they say that they're from a planet orbiting that star.

So it isn't It isn't that they're saying we we are from a star, but they are saying we are from this uh star collection basically, and that you're dumb eyes cannot see the secret star, which is serious, b right, Okay, Okay, that clears some things up. Does not explain everything, No, it does not. And and to to go further into some of the things that you've already h acknowledged, this story basically became because this story comes in theory from

thousands of years ago. Literally, according to some priests, this is a story that they've been passing down since thirty two hundred BC, so old as fuck, right, But the story comes to us from these white, these French anthropologists. Marcel Griale I don't know how to say stuff. German uh Deter Lynn, who recorded it from four dog on priests into the nineteen thirties. So it isn't until the nineteen thirties that white and western sort of people are

now discovering this legend of the visitors from outer space. Yeah, and there was there's also um I I don't remember where I saw this information either, but they also had like a weird distrust of members of the tribe who had had too much contact with Europeans mm. So they were dealing very specifically with ones who were just kind of isolated from And I don't know how that affects the story at all, but it just feels weird to me.

It feels a little bits us. I don't know why, right that you're not, uh, you're not actually talking to

the people people. You're kind of like picking and choosing who you're gonna talk to, and it feels like it's not a complete sample, right, There's something and to that, there's something really dangerous about that, right, Like we saw that even in our polling in the presidential elections that like y'all keep asking the same motherfucker's who they're going to vote for, and then the news just be wrong

because you're not actually talking to the full sample of America. Yeah, so these French explorers, they did the equivalent of exclusively calling people's house phones to see who they're voting for. When you know everybody is on Twitter on their cell phones. Just put out a Twitter poll, Just do it regular, you don't, what's wrong with you? Nobody's answering their house phones, and the people that do are losers. They have a house phone, First of all, what a fucking do we?

And then second of all they're answering it and having a full conversation with you. Yeah, no, what are they doing? People that still have house phones definitely still have the little seed through one where you can see all the parts like this, a little night like like I saved by the bell cup yep, a real heavy one that just like a brick. But also I guess you can technically communicate with the outside world. Technically technically is a

key word there. So this, this legend of of the g no Miss people is treated as such for all of these years, UH, even after this sort of nineteen thirties discovery conversation, until there is actual physical proof of serious be coming to exist in nineteen seventy, when a bunch of UH scientists are able to finally photograph this

secret star with a telescope, which then changes the entire narrative. Yeah, when that happens, I wonder like, first of all, why are you so like, why are you so blown away by in the thirties when you haven't proven the star exists yet? Right, Like, why have you already established that these people couldn't have come up with some ship that

doesn't that you don't even know it's true? Yes, So, so to that point they do, there is suspicion, right of the star being uh in existence before then they say that all the way back to eighteen forty four, people suspect the possibility of a second star in the serious collection or or sort of like uh space area, I don't know the right words, but they don't officially know that it exists until technically, I think eighteen sixty

two is when someone first discovers it by telescope. But even then, because of their discovery and because they didn't have the ability to photograph it, because I don't think that they were easily able to find it again because of it's it's super long rotation, that like, they're not able to officially confirm that the ship exists. So when the dog on people tell this French anthropologist that this

stuff exists, Everybody's like, WHOA, what the funk? That thing that we've been theorizing is true according to them, somebody must have told them our secrets instead of being like, whoa, they know some ship we don't. Yeah, And again it's like, if you can have a suspicion that a star exists,

like what is that suspicion based on? Is that based on, like anything more than just like calculations, which they also have a pretty uh, pretty advanced knowledge of mathematics and all this stuff, so like you know, a lot of ship has been discovered just based on orbits, and like when uh, when certain ship comes back around. So it's like they could just as easily of determined based on

its position in the sky. Yes, which is exactly how a bunch of Lee's white astronomer astronomers did the same thing, exactly. I think in in any other circumstance, you would give them the benefit of the doubt and presume that they did the work to come to this conclusion. And the fact that they're saying no, some aliens told us they don't want to admit that that's possibly part of the work. And so they're like, no, this is illegitimate, and and we we actually did our own work, and we'll prove

it that way in persume you cheated off of us. Yeah. And you know what I possibility I hadn't considered is an alien did show up. But it was an alien from a different part of space. And it was like, Yo, I think there's a star right there. I don't know, can y'all can y'all help me with this? I've been trying to get to this fucking star and I just don't know where the funk I'm going. I just need

some help from something. Hey, dog, I made up all right, like three light years ago, and I have I'm off, man, Can you just point where you think the stars already? Like yeah, just right there, yeah, just don't even look just like kind of eyeball it just like do some little calcul aceans or something like that. Oh the tail, don't mind that, that's just yeah. I know it's wet. I know it's wet. I just can't from Hey, get your mouth off that. Come on, now, he's a family restaurant.

Got that out. Come on, now, you got a whole ocean, got the whole ocean. I know, I look delicious, but so so the no Miss people, these apparently wet tailed people, accordings of the dog on legend, lived on a planet that orbits another star. This is this is serious a and they landed on Earth and an arc they're saying it was an arc that was made that made a spinning descent to the ground with a great noise and wind.

So even that has like such a um a weird history in it right, that these people are able to describe spaceships before spaceships even exist in in the common lexicon of like language and culture and all that. Ship. Yeah, and there's no consideration of just like religion and ship. Religion has famously and consistently just positive like the same stories in different forms and different explanations for different ships, and they just kind of make up ship and people

believe that literally happened. Yes, And I'm glad you said that because because to that point, the gno Miss people are actually a species that appears in Babylonian, Acadian and Samarrian myths. So it's not like this is just a group that the dog aren't made up and nobody else has ever like being connected to them, They've actually existed

in a bunch of different ancient religions and cultures. And on top of that, the Egyptian goddess isis uh Is, who is sometimes depicted as a mermaid, is linked to the Star series. So all of this ship is colliding. The information makes sense, but people are still dismissing this group as just dumb bull people. Yeah, and there is

also documentation suggesting that these people came from Egypt. Mm hmm, So like maybe they just learned the ship when they were in Egypt, right, that they were part of that first visit, and then they just kept rocket. Yeah, but like I watched a little I watched an ancient Aliens clip where they say that, and they just use it to suggest Okay, so maybe these mermaid niggas just landed in Egypt and not in Molly, and then those people took it with them and somehow we credit just the

dog On people with this information and not Egypt. How did that happen? And I think to your earlier point, that's a little more palatable for the white tongue, right because with that they're able to they think of Egyptians at least historically as a lighter skinned people sort of like a a whiteish looking people that they get to rewrite as sort of closer to themselves. So they're okay the Egyptians being sophisticated or having knowledge that that we didn't.

They're less okay with the possibility that this tribe and Molly is somehow smarter than any of us. Yes, yes, they're not willing to admit that a bunch of dark as Negroes could just do some math and get and and really not not proved that that star was there, just kind of guess and based on calculations that yeah,

there's probably a star right there exactly. And what's even more fascinating is that on top of telling them about serious b they also apparently the almost explained to them that the planet Jupiter had four moons, that Saturn, that Saturn has a ring, and that planets orbit the Sun. And this comes way before, like literally hundreds and hundreds of years before Westerners eventually accept this through Galileo, who

they did not take that well from him either. They didn't handle when Galileo was saying some wild ship about the Sun not being uh circling us. Yeah, and the What bugs me about that part is one they guessed that everything orbited around the Earth, so you could just as easily guess the other way around, that that ship orbited the Sun, but also very easily calculable by math, and like whatnot, not not math that I can do, but certainly math that exists, math that someone can do,

math that someone is capable of. I'm not even gonna pretend to be able to I didn't. I got a bag grade in statistics, but someone can do that math. I can't explain to you how any of this ship works. I read a poem once in college about how we were stupid to think stuff orbits around us, and that's

the best information I got. But to that point, they also got the number of wounds wrong for Jupiter and also claimed they also believed Saturn was the only planet with rings, And so I would think just having that little bit of wrong information, wouldn't you suspect like, Okay, maybe they did do this themselves. Like if you think they're so stupid, why do you think they're They're like too stupid to come up with any of this information.

I would think if somebody, if I think somebody stupid, I would be content with them just knowing a little bit less than me, You know what, man, I So I'm so glad you brought that up, because there are a few other things that they sort of missed in in some of what they described, right, Like, they believed that serious B was located where our son is now, that that's where the original location of what they thought

it was. They also believed that it had this fifty year rotation around sex Serious A. But they celebrated the thing every sixty years, and scientists say that that doesn't really add up. But to your point, that part, I think was every six years. And I think there was an explanation for I saw an explanation for that. Tell me, I think, well, because they also believe that there was

a third uh serious star. Yes, there's like ceg total uh I forget the second one, but then there's like m ai is the third one that we has not been discussed. We've turned into serious A, Serious B, Serious C. But they had like cooler names for it and all that. Yeah, And so I think that third star, it's orbit or its cycle, would explain the six years celebration as opposed

to fifties. So here's the thing. Though, and to your your earlier point, and I think all of that's fair, and we should be critiquing some of the error in some of their stuff. We don't hold any other discoverers

to to that same level of like fact checking. Like we don't dismiss Galileo if we're gonna use him as the example, because he got the tides wrong right, Like Galileo believed that tides were because the earth was was moving around and the water was basically slashing like a drunk dad, you know what I mean, carrying a glass, and that motherfucker was wrong. He had no idea that it was the gravitational pull of the moon. He just

thought that's what the tide was from. And yet we still refer to him as this brilliant thinker and astronomer and all these other things instead of being honest and being like, you can be brilliant and wrong as Funk at the same time. But to be fair, I would that's what I wouldn't guess. But but yes, your point stands. You can be right about some stuff and wrong about

everything else. And with that, I like to believe that these people, while completely wrong about certain years and and how many moons and which planets have rings and which don't. Are know right about a few things that they predicted and therefore should be treated with the level of respect. Yeah, I absolutely agree. I feel like it's unfair to just to say they're guilty until proven innocent in the sense that they're like their knowledge is dismissed as being sent

down from from the heavens by aliens. You know. I think we should just assume that they did some calculations some ship that we don't understand, and they got some stuff wrong, But as far as we're concerned, most of that ship has an application in real science, So like

who the fund cares? Now, here's the other thing that they predicted that science can't explain that part of what their description of serious b was talked a whole lot about the mass of seriously that it was apparently crazy dents in a way that they knew and have known for four hundred years or so, at least like artifacts proved has Uh, They've had this knowledge for four hundred plus years, and scientists can't explain why these motherfuckers who

can't do math apparently and aren't capable of basic research, uh, discovered the mass of a star that you can't see. Yeah, And to that, I say, how the fund do you know? How the fund do y'all discover any of the ship? Y'all are just looking right, You just got telescopes, Like, how do you know beyond just their gravitational pull and where they are in space relative to each other? Where how big or how dense or any of this ship about? Like how do they know jupiters gashes Jupiter? You've been

to Jupiter. I never smelled a Jupiter once. You don't know what any of this stuff is. You're just making it up, and that's cool. I like that you get to make it up. And to that point, I want the potential for black people and and brown people and people of foreign countries. I want to four them the freedom to make stuff up the same way we've afforded

white people the chance to make stuff up. We let y'all niggas use your imagination for all kinds of ship, including deciding that that Jupiter has made out of farts. So let these people do the exact same thing. And you know what it literally in a lot of ways is there's a lot of menthinge up there. And you know what who gave you the authority to take Pluto away from us? I like that, who gave you that? Wait a minute, it sounds like you're about to get into a fun thing that I like to call talk.

That talk, and what I would love for you to do you do is I'm gonna give you thirty seconds to go off. You go crazy on that Pluto conversation. Whenever you're ready, you you go in and kick in. I'll play the music. Nobody gave white people the authority to decide what defines a planet. It's it's in the same position at that any that a planet might sit.

And who is to say that just because it's a little smaller than the average than what this weird a pertrarian number, that we've decided that Pluto is smaller than that, and therefore it no longer gets to be a planet. We got to a point, I don't remember if it was two thousand one, two thousand two, or whenever, the funk that they've just changed the rules and now Pluto is different, and so therefore I think black people should take just as much undeserved agency with our solar system.

And I declared Mercury the nickea planet. Hey there it is talk that talk cool motherfucking books, n completely nothing, talk that talk. Mercury is the nickea planet. Now, y'all ain't welcome there, motherfucker. That's it funck y'all. And that's I think at its core. That's that's really what this feels like, is like white people declared something at some

point that space was theirs. That like we didn't have any uh, any sense of what was happening outside of this planet, that we had no control over any of the information. And the reality is none of us know anything. We don't even know anything about the oceans. We know less about the oceans than we do about space, and we don't know shit about space. So like, shut the funk up and just accept that these nice people in

Mouth and they figured some out. And also except that, I know you gotta go to an app but except that the only reason you're so interested in what's out in space is because capitalism on Earth forces us to expand constantly beyond the limits of what we already are aware of. And so now you feel like we gotta colonize Mars and it let Alon must tell it. We Gottays have indentured servitude of that. But look, hey, but he's trying to bring comedy back. So that's the important

work that he That is the important part. I will say. The last thing that that our little piece of research that I'll kick your way is that apparently in n and this goes back to your conversation about the third planet or a third star rather nineteen five too, French researchers Daniel Banest and J. L. Du Vent their names are Easier authored an article in the prestigious journal Astronomy and Astrophysics with the title is Serious a Triple Star?

And they suggested, based on observations of motions in the Serious system, there is a small third star there which would explain something that we don't officially know. Now that no one's officially known, but this community has been talking about for hundreds of years. They've been focused on the possibility of this third star existing, and we've just ignored them and called them crazy and and thiefs. Yeah, look, I got nothing to say about that except, uh, fuck y'all. Yeah,

fuck y'all. We're gonna take a break and look at God, Look at God, and fuck y'all. That's those are the words you wants to be or we'll be back when more of my mama told me, and we are that, how are you plase help me? Yeah, we're back here with more. You're doing you Travis more. And my mama told me. We're talking about mermaids and I played a man drowning. I don't know. We're having fun, were having a good time. It's a place I want to play a game. We're gonna play a game. We're gonna we're

gonna get out of here on a game. But this is a very fun game. It's one of my favorite games to play with people. It's a game called white Line. Ugly, I'm gonna kill you. Give me two D White Lines. It's a very fun game in which I will introduce to you a traditional white conspiracy theory, one that that white people have held onto for quite a while. And what I would love for you to do is unpack why you think this conspiracy theory is so important to

white people. What do you think they're holding onto? What are these sneaky motherfucker's up to that makes sense to you? Yeah? Hell yeah. So there's this is a fun one that I've heard for quite a while, and I think is is it'll be fun given some of the conversations we've been having up to this point. But there is an argument that the earth is hollow. Have you ever heard that that the earth is completely hollow on the inside. I have, yep. I I haven't heard it super in depth,

but I've heard it, Okay. So basically, the argument is that there are that the earth is hollow, and there, uh it be is now the living quarters for like these old colonies, these Viking colonies that basically live in these tunnels under the earth. And my question for you is, why do you think white people believe in the possibility

that the earth is hollow? Okay? Well, uh, first of all, I feel like if there are still Vikings living under the earth and just like in modern times right now, it it gives them a much better argument for why them having dreadlocks is not cultural appropriation. First of all, um, I think it just makes it very easy for them just be like, yo, there's a civilization of white dreadlock and people beneath the earth that you just don't know about.

And so uh so, yeah, I can. I can lock up my hair even though it doesn't do that naturally, that's no problem I also believe that if the Earth is hollow, If the Earth is hollowed, there's nothing under the earth. And I don't know how deep that goes. I'm making a little bit of an assumption about how deep. Oh, I think all the way down, like just like hollow,

all the way down. Okay, Well, that just that makes it a lot harder to argue that there is in fact ongoing uh slavery and mining happening in the Congo from which we acquire our coltan and cobalt that we need for our cell phones, and that somehow we get that from some other source other than the forced slavery and servitude of African people. Yeah, I feel like this ship just I feel like the ship just goes, uh, just goes a lot deeper than they think it goes.

I feel like, uh, if earth is hollow, I don't know. I I like what you're saying. I do think that there's something to the fact that if I say the Earth is hollow, I don't have to confront so many of the other truths that sort of live on the surface just doing cute word play. I think I think, Uh, you're doing horrific things on the surface of this planet and we don't know what's under there, certainly, but we have a pretty good sense that it's not just uh

like a fucking uh plaster wall. And so at the end of the day, maybe confront your ship up here instead of predicting what's beneath us in a weird way. Yeah, just except that Elon Musk is bad and that his family got rich profiting off of an emerald mine in zi ear this made billionaire ain't all that self made? And Tesla is cool, but he's you think he bought his first business and fact like, he wasn't rich before he bought his first business, Like, what the funk you mean? Whatever?

This is my fier win his whole life with bad hair, and he's still like and frankly, he could have fixed it earlier because he had the wealth. He just didn't know how and didn't have the social skills to do that. And then he got some money and a lady with a weird name Grimes, came in and and kind of helped him a little bit. But and now they got a weird robot named Baby. It really goes to show you, I think you can really just be on Rick and

Morty one time, and people act like he never did. Like, bro, hey listen, if a lines listening, I don't know, least stop what you're doing. But also, uh, at least share some of that money or apologize. You got work to do, big dog. I think that's the most important thing to do. You can start by You can start by paying your employees. I feel like that's always a good place to start as a billionaire. Just give your employees an amount of money that is equivalent to the work that they're doing

would be nice. That's that's a good start for sure. Yeah. And also maybe like demote yourself to employee and you know, just share in the way in that way that I feel like that's also and I'm getting into the socialist ideals here. Uh yeah, yeah, e latmos, just google work your self directed enterprise and and just uh do yourself a favor. Well. I love that this theory about the earth being hollow turned into this. But hey, we did it. You nailed it. Great answer. I feel good about where

we landed. You do it. You can you tell everybody where they can find you what cool ship you have going on. You can find me on on Instagram at professor do at Twitter, at your dot underscore. But you know, just look out for cool shit I'm doing. I do an anime channel called Beyond the Box and I wrote Batman, I wrote, I wrote a Batman comment that's gonna come out. Hey, it's nigger, wrote Batman. That's cool, all right? Fuck yeah, I love that. This is beautiful. As always, you can

follow me at Likes and Kerman.

That's everything by Bitch by a musk micprom ship send your uncle. Whila Bears were racist. They also players Oaks and money r She's in many turnkey stuff. I can't tell me about it.
