How are you?
Good I've got especially right

12
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:12,800
now.
Well Ikea, I'm looking at this

13
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,500

00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:17,400
Yes.

that up to the camera but yeah
you got look at that.

17
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:32,000
It's not only real champ Agni
from France on a yeah.

18
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,300
She's got some gold glitter in
there and it makes it look like

19
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:36,700
a snow globe.
It does.

20
00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:39,300
It's so pretty.
I thought gosh, we're doing an

21
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:41,600
episode on mermaids.
Yes.

22
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,100
So scales glitter, I kind of
like works.

23
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:48,000
It's all it's all encompassing.
So always figure out a way to

24
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,400
make champagne work.
Yeah, Mmm, delicious.

25
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,900
Thank you.
So, I know, I know that you have

26
00:01:56,900 --> 00:01:59,800
a whole Christmas tree.
Dedicated I do merman.

27
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,200
I do.
I love them.

28
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:03,500
Yeah.
Have you always loved more

29
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:05,900
people?
Yeah, yes, animating.

30
00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:07,800
Okay.
I think it's a one of those

31
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:13,100
mystical.
Creatures that I just think is

32
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:16,300
the coolest idea.
It is a I totally agree with

33
00:02:16,300 --> 00:02:17,500
you.
It's a really cool idea where

34
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:19,600
you did.
You love like the water.

35
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:24,400
And yeah, just the fact that it
was it's almost like the

36
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,600
opposite of people.
Being able to fly.

37
00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:28,000
Yes.
Hmm.

38
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,500
People being able to breathe
underwater?

39
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,900
Yeah.
Kind of like the opposite,

40
00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:33,900
right?
Yeah, I think both would just be

41
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:36,400
so friggin cool.
Oh my God, I would love it.

42
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,400
I totally agree.
So what about there's a new live

43
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,300
action.
Little Mermaid by Disney that's

44
00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:45,800
coming out.
It's starring Halle Bailey who

45
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,900
she's amazing.
There is some controversy,

46
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:54,100
initially of her being cast,
which is fucking stupid stupid.

47
00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:57,200
Yeah.
She has an amazing voice and she

48
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,100
is every part.
I don't know as a person who

49
00:03:01,100 --> 00:03:05,600
loves mermaids, who Ariel was my
favorite princess, huh?

50
00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:09,400
Oh my God, I wish I would have
had Hallie Bailey, you know, as

51
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,000
a girl to look up.
Because I nobody's hair looks

52
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,000
like mine.
When I was I'd like none of

53
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,200
them, right?
The princess is didn't look like

54
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,200
much like me except for Jasmine
or people are honest later but,

55
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:21,800
you know, not really.
Yeah.

56
00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:25,000
Are you gonna go see it are
gonna go see the movie?

57
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:31,300
Probably not.
But no, no, no.

58
00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:35,800
I mean, I want to see it, but I
don't, I don't know but because

59
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,300
I definitely want to watch it.
Okay, you'll watch, I'm gonna

60
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:41,000
watch it, but you're not gonna
go like I don't I'm going to be

61
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,900
like an eager beaver, beaver to
the theater, okay?

62
00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:47,900
I'm like, I'm not that into it.
Okay, that makes sense.

63
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:50,500
Okay, that makes sense.
And I won't judge you too

64
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:54,300
harshly.
Okay, you're gonna be first in

65
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:55,200
line, aren't you?
Yeah.

66
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,100
I mean I might, I might be
depending on when you're

67
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:02,700
listening to this, it is going
to be coming out and met.

68
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,100
So we are are releasing, you
know, our podcast talking about

69
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:12,900
it, but also The Barbie movie is
coming out and I think I'm also

70
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:16,100
going to be, I think it'll be a
no fucking line for that

71
00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:17,000
one-eyed.
Are you?

72
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:18,500
That's another one?
I'm not sure.

73
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:20,800
I would pay to see well I'm
gonna pay in some way form or

74
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,800
fashion to see it but um well
you can see all the hot pink.

75
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,300
I know you could like oligo is
Ken and Barbie oh my God.

76
00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:31,300
Yes, so fun.
Yes, totally.

77
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:35,400
I mean, you know, I know we're
talking about, I mean, come on

78
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,300
actually they're worth this.
I can make this work.

79
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:39,900
I can make this conversation be
relevant.

80
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:45,400
I Had mermaids were my favorite.
Yeah, and I had all mermaid, but

81
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,400
like, my mermaid, Barbies were
the ones that I loved the most,

82
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,500
and there will be a mermaid
Barbie in the Barbie movie.

83
00:04:51,700 --> 00:04:54,000
So, really yeah, which will be
really cool.

84
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,200
Do a leap, I think is playing
the mermaid 10.

85
00:04:56,500 --> 00:04:59,000
Is there going to be multiple
Barbies in the Barbie movie?

86
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,400
Yeah, shut up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

87
00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:05,900
Do they even have like ones that
are?

88
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,700
Yeah, yeah.
I'll do my God.

89
00:05:08,700 --> 00:05:10,300
Okay, that's okay.
Now, I'm intrigued.

90
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,300
It's worth the idea and it's
gonna be really funny anyways.

91
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:19,500
Okay, getting back to my roots.
I was a lover of water ocean,

92
00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:21,000
you know?
And I was a huge fan of The

93
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,400
Little Mermaid.
I actually thought when I was a

94
00:05:24,408 --> 00:05:28,000
kid, that mermaids were real.
All right?

95
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,100
I believed that they are real.
I get it.

96
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,300
You got it.
I get it.

97
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,200
Did you get why you would think
they were real?

98
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:39,300
Well, like, I don't know.
I think maybe it's Maybe not but

99
00:05:39,300 --> 00:05:44,200
like, they weren't.
So, I mean, it is far-fetched if

100
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,100
you think about it but like you
almost think like it's

101
00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:51,200
plausible.
Yeah, there's so much water

102
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,000
right, right on the on the
earth.

103
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,800
So it would make sense.
Yeah.

104
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,600
But there would be.
Yeah I remember I was living in

105
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,600
Arizona.
Hmm and we were driving by the

106
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,600
canals in Arizona.
There's like a ton of canals in

107
00:06:04,608 --> 00:06:08,300
Arizona and we're driving by one
of the canals and I must have

108
00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:11,700
said it out loud.
I was probably like six seven,

109
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:14,100
something like that.
I set it all out.

110
00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:18,100
I was like oh gosh, I really I
hope I wonder if there's

111
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:20,800
mermaids in here.
My dad opened, where were you

112
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,200
Arizona and I can, our would do
you recommend whether we're

113
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,900
driving along a canal and I was
like I wonder if they're a

114
00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:30,600
mermaid and I must have said it
out loud and in your kid brain.

115
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,800
It's like that's the kind of
Wonder You have about the

116
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,300
worker.
You just said it out loud.

117
00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:35,400
Yeah.
I just said it out loud.

118
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,500
And my dad said at least showed
that you know there's no such

119
00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:40,500
Things as mermaids, right?
And I looked at him, I was

120
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:44,100
horrified dare you.
It was like learning the Santa

121
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:48,300
Claus wasn't real, like magic
had been removed from me,

122
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,000
unfortunately, not but, you
know, we'll talk about a little

123
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,900
bit later, but, you know, maybe
there are, there's something to

124
00:06:56,900 --> 00:06:59,800
the whole mermaid thing.
Maybe, maybe my Dad could have

125
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,100
been wrong.
Well, people are convinced,

126
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:07,400
there's a Bigfoot that's true.
Llamas monster Loch, Ness.

127
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,700
That's very true.
I mean hey it could happen

128
00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:14,900
happen.
So okay, when we look back

129
00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:17,300
ultimately in time and try to
find, you know, the origins of

130
00:07:17,308 --> 00:07:18,700
mermaids because that's, you
know, that's kind of what I

131
00:07:18,708 --> 00:07:21,800
wanted to try to do like where
the fuck does this come from all

132
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:27,000
of the signs point to Greeks and
their ideas of sirens and the

133
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,300
sirens are not what we pictured.
What we picture of like mermaids

134
00:07:31,300 --> 00:07:34,900
today when you think of a
person, like what is it that

135
00:07:34,900 --> 00:07:38,300
you're thinking of, well,
there's two Versions.

136
00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:41,400
Yes.
There's that typical Ariel.

137
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:50,700
Yes, mermaid, pretty pretty.
Yeah, Splash then there's the

138
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:58,100
Wednesday siren, the sirens like
a purse of really a person that

139
00:07:58,100 --> 00:08:03,500
can just Swim you know be a
mermaid or a man.

140
00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:08,400
Yeah, but less fairytale
fictional and just more kind of

141
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,700
realistic more of an actual
person person that can they can

142
00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:15,000
convert into that.
Okay, right?

143
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,800
Yeah.
And by I just have to say this

144
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,000
they've really big of a over
those of you that have not

145
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,600
watched Wednesday.
The mail siren in that show is

146
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,500
so bleeping.
Hot is he?

147
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:30,200
I haven't seen Wednesday, dude?
I know Alicia.

148
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:39,000
Alicia of to they have Sirens.
I would love it if sirens and

149
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
they're cool people.
Right?

150
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
And especially this one male
siren.

151
00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:47,200
Yeah, he's yum, yum.
Okay, yeah, I mean, I will never

152
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,700
say no to some eye candy.
Yeah, exactly.

153
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:53,900
Okay.
So the Greeks actually thought

154
00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:56,400
of sirens as half-bird like
people.

155
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,900
Although there were some like
half-fish more people I think

156
00:09:00,900 --> 00:09:04,100
like King Triton, King, Triton
was a god, like the god of

157
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:05,100
water.
Hmm.

158
00:09:06,100 --> 00:09:09,600
So you may have heard of them in
school when you were learning of

159
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,600
the fucking weirdest story,
which was the Odyssey.

160
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,500
Did you ever read The Odyssey?
I don't think so.

161
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:18,600
I mean, I feel like maybe I did
because I, yeah, I don't know.

162
00:09:18,700 --> 00:09:22,300
You've definitely heard of it.
Yeah, definitely seen the story

163
00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:24,900
played out, which it was like a
series of poems, really?

164
00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:30,800
It's by its by Homer.
But Odysseus is Natalie.

165
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,700
He's a king.
He's a king of this place called

166
00:09:32,700 --> 00:09:34,800
Ithaca and he's sailing back
home.

167
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,600
After the torch otra, excuse me.
Good God.

168
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,700
Trojan War.
Come on champagne.

169
00:09:40,700 --> 00:09:45,200
Kick in.
So the journey lasted 10 years

170
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:50,000
and everyone thought of of
Odysseus is being dead.

171
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,500
They thought that he was dead
but really it was because he had

172
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:56,700
a lot of perils.
He and his crew had suffered on

173
00:09:56,700 --> 00:09:58,300
this trip back from the Trojan
War.

174
00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:59,500
Can I ask a question?
Yes.

175
00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:03,800
Ours is this.
This along the same lines as

176
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:07,100
Zeus and the gods, or is this
like a real?

177
00:10:09,100 --> 00:10:11,600
This is not percent, that's a
great question.

178
00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:15,800
It's believed to have been like
there could have been people

179
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,700
that it was based off of.
Uh-huh.

180
00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:21,200
But ultimately it's really a
tale like an epic.

181
00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:23,500
It's an epic like like maybe
lord of the think Lord of the

182
00:10:23,500 --> 00:10:25,600
Rings or something.
So it's like a person who's

183
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,500
going on this Epic Journey.
Okay.

184
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,200
Yeah, so it's a, it's a story
that's been passed down for abs.

185
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,300
Yes.
Yeah.

186
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:34,400
From the Greeks.
Yeah.

187
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,000
And the Great Lakes classic
Greek.

188
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,700
This was like one of the most
classic.

189
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,700
Greek stories that we still have
today which kind of makes

190
00:10:41,700 --> 00:10:45,300
because, you know, they wrote
all of that shit about the gods

191
00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:48,100
and yeah you know Zeus and the
peeps.

192
00:10:49,900 --> 00:10:51,900
I'm going blank on other names,
I wanted to Rattle them off

193
00:10:51,900 --> 00:10:54,500
because I was yeah.
Anyway, yeah.

194
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:58,100
So that's why I was wondering
that if this kind of maybe it

195
00:10:58,100 --> 00:11:00,600
does that it rings like that,
right?

196
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,200
Yes.
Yeah, it's an epic.

197
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,300
Like a lot of those stories are
okay X, right.

198
00:11:04,300 --> 00:11:10,600
Okay, so, okay where we're at.
Okay, so they him and his crew

199
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,100
Odysseus in.
The crew actually run into some

200
00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:19,300
sirens and the sirens are
because they're traveling near

201
00:11:19,300 --> 00:11:20,900
this.
Like land that used to think

202
00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:23,600
that there was a land of PSI of
the sirens.

203
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:28,400
So don't get too close to this,
these like series of islands or

204
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,200
else, your something bad's going
to happen.

205
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,300
So what Odysseus does is they
know that they're going to be

206
00:11:33,300 --> 00:11:37,700
going near this land.
So, Odysseus says okay, Krill,

207
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,000
this is what's going to happen,
but bees wax in your ears.

208
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,900
So they work like earplugs.
Okay.

209
00:11:44,300 --> 00:11:47,500
And I because if they listen to
the siren song, They're Gonna Be

210
00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:48,400
go to their death.
Yeah?

211
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,500
Right.
I want to hear the sirens song

212
00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:55,000
because I'm fuckin Odysseus and
of course I like honestly,

213
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:57,600
whatever.
He's like so timing of the Mast

214
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,300
because I you want us to hear
it.

215
00:11:59,500 --> 00:12:01,700
The dude has like a torture king
or something.

216
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:09,900
Okay, so the idea behind it is
the siren song would end up

217
00:12:09,900 --> 00:12:14,500
steering, the boat to hazardous
water, hazardous Waters, and

218
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:19,000
cause them to kill themselves,
or drown themselves or or take

219
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:19,800
down the ship.
Beep.

220
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,400
Whatever the case may be.
Yeah.

221
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:25,100
So you really you basically
become under their control when

222
00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:26,700
you hear their song.
Yes.

223
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:28,900
And you're doomed.
Yeah, but it's marking, right?

224
00:12:28,900 --> 00:12:31,800
Okay.
So that's like a very classic

225
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:36,200
story of sirens half bird, like,
people write some of them were

226
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,100
half fish, but mainly have
friends.

227
00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:41,200
Yeah, there's weren't swimming,
they weren't necessarily as

228
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,300
Oneness links swimming.
Yeah, birds like flying.

229
00:12:44,300 --> 00:12:48,300
Yes, got ya, okay.
So these Sirens were then taken

230
00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:51,400
from the Greeks.
Um, by the Christians during

231
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,100
medieval times as they always
did, right?

232
00:12:54,300 --> 00:12:59,400
And they were used as a symbol
for Dangerous Temptation, and

233
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,100
The Wiles of women.
Sure dangerous women, right?

234
00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:07,100
Like God forbid.
A woman has sure right fucking

235
00:13:07,100 --> 00:13:11,800
history.
So these folks decided to make

236
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,000
the sirens like the medieval
folks decided to make these

237
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,900
Sirens more appealing.
So they removed the whole like

238
00:13:16,900 --> 00:13:19,500
bird body, you know, from below
the way.

239
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,300
Waste.
It wasn't a bird body anymore.

240
00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:24,400
They looked at a fish and we're
like, yeah, that looks hot.

241
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,500
So make it half woman, half
fish?

242
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,200
Yeah.
Yeah.

243
00:13:29,300 --> 00:13:30,800
I don't know.
Who looks at a fish and thinks

244
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:31,700
it's fucking hot.
I don't know.

245
00:13:31,700 --> 00:13:40,500
But it mostly on my man on my on
my track, that's just like

246
00:13:40,500 --> 00:13:42,500
something.
You know, what I think it is

247
00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:44,700
especially for the man, it's
because it's like feminine and

248
00:13:44,700 --> 00:13:46,200
masculine.
And these men are

249
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,000
hyper-masculine, are hyper
masculine, that's very true.

250
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,500
And then you have This like
feminine, like fish.

251
00:13:51,700 --> 00:13:54,100
Mixing the two together, there's
something about it.

252
00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:57,000
It's just, it's hot.
In fact that it's sexy.

253
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,700
I mean, do I want to swim
underwater for a long period of

254
00:14:00,700 --> 00:14:03,500
time?
Yeah, of course, it does.

255
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,700
I will say you're a merman,
which if we can find a picture,

256
00:14:06,700 --> 00:14:08,600
I don't have a picture of your
tree at all.

257
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:09,800
Maybe, somewhere.
I might.

258
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,400
Yeah.
I'm, um, if we can find it, we

259
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,900
should put it on our Instagram.
Yeah.

260
00:14:13,900 --> 00:14:19,100
I would like it is a whole whole
Christmas tree filled with

261
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,800
Customer men.
And these are like intricate.

262
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,200
Like, oh there's a filmer, man,
a construction work.

263
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,400
And dr.
Hot and you're hot.

264
00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:29,800
Do they all have names?
Yeah, they do.

265
00:14:30,100 --> 00:14:32,400
They all have names.
Yeah.

266
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,500
Randy like like what was it?
Like football Johnson.

267
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Okay, so um, you know, we're
making 1/2 woman or half-human

268
00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:55,700
half-fish The first known.
Actually, you know, written down

269
00:14:56,900 --> 00:15:02,300
verbiage of a siren as a mermaid
appeared in the Anglo Latin

270
00:15:02,300 --> 00:15:08,200
catalog Lieber monstro totem
monster, mm fucking about it.

271
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,200
What's the catalog for?
Well, it just says it like,

272
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,200
gives you just like talking
about?

273
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:15,500
Yes.
Yeah.

274
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,500
So it catalogs like different.
Okay.

275
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,000
Like Animals think that.
Yeah, so it says that Sirens

276
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,900
were see girls with the body of
a maiden, but have scaly fish

277
00:15:26,900 --> 00:15:29,600
has tails.
That was the first like mention

278
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,200
of it in regards to Folklore our
mermaid or a merman like

279
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,100
creature.
You know, they spanned the world

280
00:15:36,100 --> 00:15:40,600
all over the world different
cultures had this interesting.

281
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,100
Yeah, it goes all over and I'll
tell you a little bit more about

282
00:15:44,100 --> 00:15:48,700
some of them we see them right
as in the Western World, there

283
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:56,300
As you know, beings that would
learn men to their death, but

284
00:15:56,300 --> 00:16:00,200
sometimes they would help folks,
if they answered riddles,

285
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,600
correctly, right?
Or they would abduct an

286
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,900
unsuspecting woman to become
their Brides, like they grab

287
00:16:07,900 --> 00:16:10,400
them, and take them under the,
under the sea and they'd have

288
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,200
to, you know, I don't know, I
guess have their children and

289
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,000
stuff like that.
Wait, the mermaid with wait, who

290
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,400
would Heather's children's?
Somer people.

291
00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:24,100
Many men would go and grab women
and bring them under water have

292
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:25,700
their bait.
Have their babies, got it.

293
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:30,100
Yeah.
But in China, hurry Young new,

294
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:31,600
which I'm awful.
But whatever.

295
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,900
Its.
I love when you try to print

296
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,500
try, I try it's so hard.
I love it.

297
00:16:37,900 --> 00:16:39,400
I'm not trying to be
disrespectful.

298
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,800
I'm just course really fucking
bad me too.

299
00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:46,800
So, um, that's the feet, the
female of its of its kind, had a

300
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,400
head of a beautiful womans with
hair like a horse's.

301
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,200
Tail.
So like super long, thick hair

302
00:16:52,300 --> 00:16:55,100
and white skin like Jade without
scales.

303
00:16:56,300 --> 00:16:59,700
They were covered with
multicolored Downy hair like

304
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:06,200
peach fuzz and they were legless
the Met male and females, they

305
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:11,800
both had sexual organs like
humans did so that this is kind

306
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,200
of fucked up.
So that widows or widowers could

307
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,200
keep them in their ponds like in
their homes and the creatures

308
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,099
could Perform sexual
intercourse.

309
00:17:21,099 --> 00:17:24,800
Normally, as a human would you
make kind of like a thing on the

310
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,300
side like oh and we're really on
the side of your house.

311
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:34,500
Oh I need I need some action.
Oh let me go get my fish.

312
00:17:34,900 --> 00:17:39,500
Yeah hey hey not maybe we
shouldn't say Ariel but like hey

313
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:45,000
right.
Hey Sheldon right you know it's

314
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,400
about time mama mama needs some.
I need to get some of that.

315
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:52,800
So that was like, that's in
China, right?

316
00:17:54,100 --> 00:17:56,600
Let's see.
So then we have the Philippines.

317
00:17:57,100 --> 00:18:00,200
It really depends on which
ethnic group you're speaking to

318
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,800
within the Philippines, all of
them have different types of

319
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,400
mermaid, like creatures.
Now, you look at a lot of these,

320
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,400
these ideas, and it's oftentimes
islands are places that are

321
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,400
surrounded by water, which, of
course it would be because,

322
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,900
yeah, you know, right?
The water, yeah.

323
00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:21,600
So one mermaid, Is a is the
queen of the sea who married a

324
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,300
human and actually, this is in
the Philippines and ruled

325
00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:28,500
Humanity for a time.
Another had mermaids that were

326
00:18:28,500 --> 00:18:31,600
known for their beautiful voice
and vicious nature.

327
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,300
So then Zimbabwe they were then
in Jutsu.

328
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,000
And those were believed to be
solitary and occupied, only one

329
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,200
body of water there.
So they could be benevolent,

330
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,600
they could be malicious, they,
the angry ones would be blamed

331
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,100
for misfortunes that.
We're having like, you know oh

332
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,900
sure that's something the blames
and yeah, so you blame them like

333
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:58,000
bad weather, disappearance of
people.

334
00:18:59,100 --> 00:19:04,300
So if a person actually went
near when you're missing near a

335
00:19:04,300 --> 00:19:07,100
lake around there, it was the
mermaids fall.

336
00:19:07,100 --> 00:19:12,400
It was the mermaids fall and an
order to to get their their

337
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,700
missing.
Loved one back, they would have

338
00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:24,400
to, they would have to go Offer
some beer or like food or

339
00:19:24,408 --> 00:19:30,900
whatever, to these Ninjutsu toes
and the local Elders would would

340
00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:35,300
go give a give this offering and
and the family members could not

341
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:39,800
cry if the person cried then
they would not be released.

342
00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:45,000
So if the person was released
from these merpeople then they

343
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,900
would be known as traditional
Healers.

344
00:19:48,900 --> 00:19:51,700
The person that was released.
Yeah.

345
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,600
Do you want?
Doesn't it make you wonder like

346
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,100
how did all of this?
Like, how did they go?

347
00:19:59,700 --> 00:20:02,300
How did they figure out like oh,
you can't cry.

348
00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:05,300
Like how does that mean?
It's just fascinating.

349
00:20:05,300 --> 00:20:09,200
Like I don't expect us to know
the answer but it's fascinating

350
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,500
like, how that and same with
Traditions to I suppose anywhere

351
00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:14,700
where you those all these
different little things like you

352
00:20:14,700 --> 00:20:17,700
have to do this with transmitted
around or whatever, right?

353
00:20:17,700 --> 00:20:19,300
Oh totally staged Stuff stage
stuff.

354
00:20:19,300 --> 00:20:22,700
Yeah, been around spit.
You know, whatever fucking Curse

355
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:24,600
or?
Yeah, it's fast.

356
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,000
That's fascinating.
It's really cool.

357
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,400
So another one that we have and
this is the last one that I'll

358
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:34,000
kind of go over is in Middle
Eastern.

359
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,800
So we have One Thousand and One
Nights that story, there are

360
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:44,200
depictions of mermaids and
they're basically identical to

361
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,200
land-bound humans.
Right.

362
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,900
The only way that they differ is
that they can breathe.

363
00:20:48,900 --> 00:20:51,400
Like, you are saying, breathe
underwater and they can live

364
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,200
underwater.
So they can, and do interbreed

365
00:20:55,200 --> 00:21:01,200
with humans and the children of
these of these half merpeople,

366
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,400
half humans have the ability to
to live under water.

367
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,100
They can create these whole
societies.

368
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:12,100
So there's an entire different
Society underwater, right?

369
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,700
So you know, there's a shitload
of different types of and that's

370
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:18,800
just skimming the surface.
There are so many other types of

371
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,400
mermaids known in South America,
every every country Every

372
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:29,600
continent has their own version
of a mermaid, but one form for

373
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,600
at least us the Western World
stuck.

374
00:21:33,300 --> 00:21:35,700
And guess, which story I'm
talking about?

375
00:21:35,900 --> 00:21:39,300
The little man, The Little
Mermaid by Hans Christian

376
00:21:39,300 --> 00:21:42,100
Andersen.
I actually have that, that's a

377
00:21:42,108 --> 00:21:44,600
nice-looking book, that's really
nice.

378
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:51,400
This is the first English
English version of The Little

379
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,400
Mermaid.
Dave got it for me.

380
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:54,900
What a great Christmas.
Present.

381
00:21:54,900 --> 00:21:57,600
Sounds sweet like the, it's the
best anyways.

382
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,700
So, in The Little Mermaid, you
know?

383
00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:04,300
This one right?
Like, yep.

384
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,600
Have you seen the movie?
You know, all about it?

385
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:08,900
Yeah.
Do you like it?

386
00:22:08,900 --> 00:22:10,600
Yeah, it's entertaining.
It's fine.

387
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:11,900
It's fine.
Yeah, it's great.

388
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,600
Who's your favorite character
protagonist in The antagonism?

389
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,200
Is a typical story.
It's like, that's why it's a

390
00:22:16,208 --> 00:22:19,300
good story because it always has
it's the same pattern, right?

391
00:22:19,300 --> 00:22:22,100
It's got all the stuff and one
of the best villains.

392
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,000
And I think, yeah, she's Ursula
wrestlers.

393
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Great.
Yeah, stage actress.

394
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,700
Mmm.
So much of it of the actual

395
00:22:30,700 --> 00:22:34,600
story that Hans Christian
Andersen did is the same.

396
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,800
As, you know, The Little
Mermaid, you know, you have

397
00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:42,600
ultimately, you know, the little
mermaid in the, in the story

398
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,400
Ariel's character is the
youngest she's the youngest out

399
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,200
of all of her sister.
She has like, five sisters.

400
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,100
And each sister is a year older
than the other.

401
00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:56,600
So, Each one.
Yeah, so they're just like five

402
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:01,600
of them right in a row and when
mermaids turn and in this, you

403
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,600
know world, when mermaids turn
15, they're allowed to swim to

404
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,700
the surface and observe life
above water.

405
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:09,800
Okay?
Yeah.

406
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,000
So that's only when you turn 15
that you can do that.

407
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,200
So all of her sisters, go and
she hears about it right for

408
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,000
like five years before, right?
He's able to go, right?

409
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,600
So this creates like this
longing.

410
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,600
She's like a Obsessed with like
you know the human world.

411
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,700
She finds up statue underwater,
right?

412
00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:31,500
Just like she did in in the
movie.

413
00:23:31,500 --> 00:23:35,200
She has like these gadgets and
gizmos aplenty, right?

414
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,100
Yes.
And so she's just becomes

415
00:23:37,100 --> 00:23:41,600
fascinating and almost obsessive
about the human world and she

416
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,300
knows she has to be 15 in order
to actually look up there and to

417
00:23:45,300 --> 00:23:49,800
be able to experience or see
what the human worlds like.

418
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:58,300
So, She turns 15 and goes to see
what is happening above water?

419
00:23:58,500 --> 00:24:02,800
Yes.
Just like in the movie, she sees

420
00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:07,500
Prince, Eric on a boat having a
party and she's like, oh my God,

421
00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:11,700
she falls in love with him.
So she sits there and she's like

422
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:13,700
well I really want to be with
this man.

423
00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:16,300
Like how can I how can I live on
the surface?

424
00:24:17,300 --> 00:24:19,600
Incomes Ursula, right?
Boom.

425
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,400
Boom.
Yeah.

426
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:28,900
So, she makes that deal with a
sea witch, and she tells her,

427
00:24:28,900 --> 00:24:31,700
you know, once you take this
potion, one, you have to give me

428
00:24:31,708 --> 00:24:35,600
your voice.
So, and, of course, she has the

429
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,200
best voice.
She has, she does.

430
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,000
And in the story, she has the
most beautiful voice in the

431
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,200
whole Kingdom.
Like nobody has a better voice

432
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,100
than she does.
And of course, Ursula with one

433
00:24:45,100 --> 00:24:47,500
that.
Yeah, well and She's doing a

434
00:24:47,508 --> 00:24:49,600
song.
Okay, I'm sorry, but Ursula does

435
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,400
get a bad rap.
She's seriously doing aerial

436
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,800
assault Ariel's.
Like I'm not gonna listen to my

437
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,300
dad II.
Just like this boy, an Ursula's

438
00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:00,800
like, you know, you're a fucking
idiot, right?

439
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,100
Like you're 15 years old, keep
it in your pants.

440
00:25:06,100 --> 00:25:08,200
It's like look around.
There's there are many other

441
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,600
options.
You really want to do this.

442
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:10,700
She's like, yeah, I want to do
this.

443
00:25:10,700 --> 00:25:13,100
Okay, give me your voice.
Okay, fine, I'll give you my

444
00:25:13,100 --> 00:25:17,700
voice for a man, so awful.
Okay.

445
00:25:17,700 --> 00:25:19,600
Gross.
Although we love the little

446
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,000
mermaid, we hate that fact about
exactly.

447
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,900
So, so she says, okay yeah, I'll
do it.

448
00:25:27,500 --> 00:25:29,600
Takes her voice.
And honestly Ursula's giving her

449
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,500
a fair fair trade, right?
She's saying, look, you want to

450
00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:35,000
be above water.
This is how you have to do it.

451
00:25:35,100 --> 00:25:36,800
You can't just get it for free
Ariel.

452
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,700
Okay, I can't remember.
Does When she says, give me your

453
00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:43,500
voice, was it just her singing
voice or wizard?

454
00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:45,400
Like she came and talked, she's
totally Mia.

455
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,900
Yeah she's helped me mentally.
She can't talk at all.

456
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,500
Okay.
No because then Ursula says and

457
00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:54,400
don't forget the importance of
body language.

458
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,700
I should've killed that up and
had it, but everyone knows that

459
00:26:00,700 --> 00:26:03,900
and also Disney.
We do not want to be sued by a

460
00:26:03,908 --> 00:26:05,700
great lawyers.
So good.

461
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,400
Yeah, we just appreciate it.
So She makes that deal.

462
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:15,900
And what Ursula says it?
Or the sea, which in this case,

463
00:26:15,900 --> 00:26:19,200
she says, is once you take this
potion, you're going to feel

464
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,200
like there's a sword passing
through you.

465
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,600
Okay.
It's gonna be incredibly painful

466
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,500
and by the way, your you will be
the best dancer.

467
00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:31,200
Once you get up to the surface,
you will be an amazing dancer.

468
00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:35,600
However, every single step you
take on land is going to feel

469
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,500
like you're walking on Sharp
knives.

470
00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:41,300
Okay, so, And that's, and
that's, that's part of story,

471
00:26:41,300 --> 00:26:43,900
right?
So she's like, okay, I guess

472
00:26:43,900 --> 00:26:45,400
I'll have to deal with that.
She's like, are you sure you

473
00:26:45,408 --> 00:26:46,700
want to do this?
Yes, I still want to do this

474
00:26:46,700 --> 00:26:48,500
because I can't keep it in my
pants or in my friends.

475
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:53,000
Whatever.
So the in the story again

476
00:26:53,700 --> 00:26:56,300
another let me just, let me just
throw this out there.

477
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,000
Haven't you ever been in a
position where you're like?

478
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:09,600
You're so And they have written
a bird folk like yes.

479
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:15,500
Yeah I walk on glass.
Yes.

480
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,200
Yeah yeah yeah.
I mean, the moment you're like

481
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,500
yeah, of course.
Yeah.

482
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,800
Of course, in the moment and
she's 15 and 15.

483
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,700
Yeah.
Hormones are racing, girl.

484
00:27:26,700 --> 00:27:29,300
Don't know nothing.
No, she has no fucking clue,

485
00:27:29,300 --> 00:27:30,600
right?
She's dumb.

486
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,000
Young and dumb, right.
Do I get do we Get what Ariel's

487
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000
like going through.
Yeah, yeah, we talked about it

488
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,000
again, especially at 15,
especially at 15.

489
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:46,300
Yeah, so mermaids in Hans
Christian, Andersen's story,

490
00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:52,500
they lived to be 300 years old
humans, you know, not as long.

491
00:27:52,900 --> 00:27:56,800
The problem with mermaids is,
yes, they have a life expectancy

492
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:01,300
of 300 but once they die, they
turn into Sea Foam and they just

493
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,200
don't exist anymore.
Okay, human Live a lot shorter

494
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,000
lives, but they have a soul and
potentially, you know, can go to

495
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,900
heaven or whatever like they
have an afterlife.

496
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,900
Okay, in trichy has a soul
there, they have a soul.

497
00:28:14,900 --> 00:28:18,800
So ultimately Ariel.
The Little Mermaid has to get

498
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,900
the prince to fall for her if
she wants a soul.

499
00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:23,800
Right?
He has to fall in love with her.

500
00:28:23,900 --> 00:28:28,900
Hmm.
So this will allow his soul to

501
00:28:28,900 --> 00:28:31,400
actually see pinned to her and
to her.

502
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:34,500
So she gets a part of his soul,
which is pretty fucking EP

503
00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:38,100
right, right?
It gets creepy.

504
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:41,800
Still lives, 300 years, but she
won't be seafoam.

505
00:28:41,900 --> 00:28:46,200
None around row know if she does
she's about then it's done.

506
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,200
She's just like she's now
everything.

507
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,900
She's a human and she has part
of his soul.

508
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:52,400
Right?
Yeah.

509
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,500
So she does not live until she's
300 years old.

510
00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:57,300
She's a human.
She's just a total human.

511
00:28:57,300 --> 00:29:01,300
Yeah.
She almost has a voice not well.

512
00:29:04,700 --> 00:29:06,700
I think that she does get her
voice.

513
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,000
I think she may get her voice.
I'm not entire.

514
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,000
You know what?
I'm not entirely.

515
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,400
Sure.
I haven't read this book, which

516
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,300
I probably shouldn't I, when I
read the bucket.

517
00:29:14,300 --> 00:29:18,900
Yeah, totally.
Okay, so, so the prince

518
00:29:19,100 --> 00:29:23,900
ultimately finds her.
Oh, and by the way, same thing

519
00:29:23,900 --> 00:29:27,900
with the little mermaid, you
know, how Ariel actually saves

520
00:29:27,900 --> 00:29:31,400
Prince Eric because they get
into a shipwreck and like she

521
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:35,400
saves him and he sees her and
he's like Echo enamored by her

522
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:40,100
but, you know, he it's the same
exact story so she had saved him

523
00:29:40,700 --> 00:29:42,400
but she couldn't talk to her
because she had to hurry up and

524
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,500
go into the back into the ocean,
right?

525
00:29:44,500 --> 00:29:45,700
Yeah.
Same thing happens.

526
00:29:45,900 --> 00:29:49,600
So the prince actually, you
know, sees her, she's a great

527
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,600
dancer and he thinks that she's,
you know, great companion.

528
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,700
But you know, she can't talk,
she can only dance once again,

529
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,900
fucking walking on straight up
knives every time that she's

530
00:30:00,900 --> 00:30:03,900
dancing for him.
When he's like, go Monkey, Go.

531
00:30:04,300 --> 00:30:08,200
Dance for me, I'm a prince, you
know, like she's like how I love

532
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,400
you, you know, like I can't talk
to you like all this dumb shit.

533
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,900
Yes, oh my God is sometimes it's
so stupid.

534
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,200
It is so slow.
I can't believe is my favorite

535
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,200
movie.
What the fuck you talking about

536
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,800
loud?
Like what am I wrong with me?

537
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,800
What is wrong?
So since since he said you know

538
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,300
the only she's trying it once
again, get him to fall in love

539
00:30:30,300 --> 00:30:33,500
with her dancing.
Whatever it is, he's her, she's

540
00:30:33,500 --> 00:30:34,900
his favorite.
Companion.

541
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:41,700
And he confesses to her saying,
look, I will only love one

542
00:30:41,700 --> 00:30:46,200
person ever and it's that person
who had who had saved me, but he

543
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,600
was convinced that it was a
woman who went to this Temple or

544
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,000
this like church or something.
And he had been looking for her

545
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000
and couldn't find her.
She can't say, hey look, it

546
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,300
actually was me, right?
So he ends up, since she's

547
00:30:58,300 --> 00:31:01,100
nowhere to be found because he's
a fucking idiot.

548
00:31:01,100 --> 00:31:04,200
Honestly, Eric is he's hot, but
he's an idiot.

549
00:31:05,700 --> 00:31:08,000
Right like young dumb and full
of it.

550
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,200
Yeah, yes.
Which we love that.

551
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,900
It's great when they're dumb but
but also, yeah, he's fucking

552
00:31:15,900 --> 00:31:17,100
stupid.
She's right there.

553
00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:20,400
The only thing that's changed
about her is, I don't know, she

554
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,100
has legs like there's nothing
else has changed anyways.

555
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:30,500
So she since he can't find her,
he is then marrying, a

556
00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:33,200
neighboring, princess right from
a neighboring town, or whatever.

557
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,100
His parents like, okay.
You need.

558
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,500
To get married.
He's like, okay, fine, I'll

559
00:31:35,500 --> 00:31:40,200
marry, you know, this girl, so
his aerial sisters find out

560
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,300
about this and say, fuck, you
need to go to see which so they

561
00:31:44,300 --> 00:31:49,000
go to the Sea which are Schley
and Ursula gives her gives the

562
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,400
girls a dagger, and so, and asks
for their hair and returns.

563
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,100
So, they got a greedy, little
bitch.

564
00:31:56,100 --> 00:32:00,100
I'm sorry, she just wants and
wants and wants from everybody

565
00:32:00,100 --> 00:32:02,800
else.
Your boys your hair.

566
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,700
Yeah, she does.
She totally does but she's like

567
00:32:06,700 --> 00:32:09,900
okay she's not asking them to
come to her like in an Ursula is

568
00:32:09,900 --> 00:32:12,900
like defense true.
She's not asking anyone to come.

569
00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:14,800
That's true.
They're just doing it.

570
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,000
Yeah.
So right.

571
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,900
Hey, if you're going to be
idiots and give me your hair,

572
00:32:17,900 --> 00:32:19,000
then yeah.
Fucking give me her.

573
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,900
Although Ursula had great hair.
She did she at?

574
00:32:22,900 --> 00:32:26,700
It was a look I loved and just
yeah, just made sure there was a

575
00:32:26,708 --> 00:32:30,600
price to pay.
Yes, we do not work for free.

576
00:32:31,700 --> 00:32:34,100
It's you should not work for
free, none of us.

577
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:39,500
Us Judd.
So she gets the the dagger, you

578
00:32:39,500 --> 00:32:44,200
know, with the hair, the sisters
come to Ariel and her like hey

579
00:32:45,300 --> 00:32:48,100
you can still come back, right?
Because he's already falling in

580
00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:49,600
love or like marrying this
woman.

581
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,400
He's gonna end up falling in
love with her.

582
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,300
Once that happens, you know,
you're gonna die.

583
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,000
Yeah.
There's a way that you can still

584
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,000
keep your your life and then
come back to the ocean.

585
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,800
You take this dagger and you
have to stab him.

586
00:33:04,300 --> 00:33:09,200
Have his blood, touch your feet
which will turn your feet into

587
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:14,300
the fence.
Like I said, there is a price,

588
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:17,900
there's a price for everything.
Meanwhile, this is a children's

589
00:33:17,900 --> 00:33:21,200
story.
Okay, right.

590
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,400
So so The Little Mermaid has to
go and do that right?

591
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,100
Wait, sorry.
It was this in the movie know,

592
00:33:29,100 --> 00:33:30,100
this horse.
Not right?

593
00:33:30,100 --> 00:33:31,100
No.
No, of course not.

594
00:33:31,100 --> 00:33:33,700
Yeah, no, no one in the movie,
of course.

595
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:37,600
It Ends happily like they just
have Eric and Ariel get married.

596
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,200
The bitch got.
Stabbed the boy.

597
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,200
Yeah because he's for sure
marrying.

598
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,400
Some right, he's such a fucking
idiot.

599
00:33:45,500 --> 00:33:48,800
He has no idea what the woman
who saved him looked like,

600
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,100
although he's like obsessed with
her.

601
00:33:51,300 --> 00:33:53,200
He doesn't realize she's sitting
right next to him.

602
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,500
Like he's a fucking idiot, but,
whatever.

603
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:03,300
So if she does, do this, right
gets the blood on her feet, she

604
00:34:03,300 --> 00:34:09,199
will Dissolve or she'll go back
and live with her family.

605
00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:12,600
So she goes into the room
because he's already been

606
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,000
married.
He/she goes into his room.

607
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:19,500
Where his bride is sleeping next
to him and has the dagger and is

608
00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:22,900
getting ready to stab him.
He wakes up.

609
00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:29,800
No she's like I can't do it.
So once she decides I can't do

610
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:34,000
it.
Her body dissolves into fall.

611
00:34:34,500 --> 00:34:40,400
Kevin yes, that wasn't part of
the deal shit hurts.

612
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:46,000
That wasn't part of the deal
well because she doesn't do it,

613
00:34:46,100 --> 00:34:48,500
and he's like, he just I'm
assuming consummated, the

614
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:50,500
marriage or whatever, and it's
like falling in love with his

615
00:34:50,500 --> 00:34:52,100
wife.
She didn't, she wasn't able to

616
00:34:52,100 --> 00:34:56,400
make him fall in love with her.
So she just turns into Sea Foam,

617
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,500
right?
But, but here's the caveat,

618
00:34:59,500 --> 00:35:01,600
okay?
So there's the pile of seafoam,

619
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,600
right by his bed.
That's a great question.

620
00:35:04,700 --> 00:35:07,700
I would assume so how did maybe
she?

621
00:35:07,700 --> 00:35:12,600
Like, maybe because it is like
the fuck is this is disgusting.

622
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,500
I'm assuming shoe, you know,
just turned into Sea Foam there,

623
00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:26,800
but I'm not entirely sure.
So she ends up, you know, dying

624
00:35:26,900 --> 00:35:28,500
or like dying turning into Sea
Foam.

625
00:35:28,500 --> 00:35:31,800
Yeah, but she wants really, it
was what she's wanting us to

626
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,000
have a humans, you know, All
that's like her number one

627
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,400
thing.
She's like, I really want to be

628
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:37,800
human.
I want to have a soul.

629
00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:39,600
Well, had he fallen in love with
her?

630
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,600
She could have had that.
Yeah, I know she didn't fucking

631
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:46,900
do that but so I guess because
she wanted it so bad, you know,

632
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,400
the universe said, hey, you know
what we do?

633
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,800
We thought too fast about.
Yeah, let's turn this foam into

634
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,600
like ghosty stuff.
So you're going to be a ghost

635
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,300
like an Earthbound Spirit.
Okay.

636
00:35:59,300 --> 00:36:02,500
And you have to help Humanity
for 300 years.

637
00:36:02,500 --> 00:36:05,400
Do good, deeds.
AIDS, once you do that for 300

638
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:11,400
years then you can have a soul
and like dyerson.

639
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:16,100
Yeah, yeah.
But it takes the Earth with this

640
00:36:16,100 --> 00:36:18,200
person who's been long dead that
you love.

641
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:19,100
Yes.
Yeah.

642
00:36:19,900 --> 00:36:22,300
How fucked up is that rate?
I know.

643
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:23,700
So, what's the moral of the
story?

644
00:36:23,700 --> 00:36:27,000
Yeah, I don't know.
Don't like, I think ultimately

645
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,600
from our point of view, don't
give up your voice for a fucking

646
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,300
stupid ass.
Prince, an idiot, right?

647
00:36:32,300 --> 00:36:38,900
An idiot.
Love sucks or you can just be

648
00:36:38,900 --> 00:36:41,200
like, okay, whatever.
I'm just, yeah, love is pain.

649
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,800
Just don't just go and live in
the ocean.

650
00:36:43,900 --> 00:36:47,200
Okay, I'm sure there is a guy
who's better than that prince,

651
00:36:47,700 --> 00:36:50,700
in that ocean.
You have the best voice and just

652
00:36:50,700 --> 00:36:52,900
live. 300 years in turn into Sea
Foam and be done with it.

653
00:36:52,900 --> 00:36:55,300
Yeah.
Like you have to do fucking a

654
00:36:55,308 --> 00:36:59,400
Penance like helping out human
beings who like really are the

655
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,800
only reason for your downfall,
you write like right?

656
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,600
I know Oh, it's so fucking
stupid.

657
00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:08,500
So when I heard that story is
like, uh, actually it's like

658
00:37:08,500 --> 00:37:11,500
pretty fucked up, which all
those were fucked.

659
00:37:11,500 --> 00:37:15,000
All those fairy tales and
stories because I mean if you

660
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,800
like really read into the
they're effed.

661
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:22,300
They are so fucked.
Yeah which I in a future episode

662
00:37:22,300 --> 00:37:25,500
that's on our list is.
Yeah the grammar the Grimm fairy

663
00:37:25,500 --> 00:37:26,300
tales.
Yeah.

664
00:37:26,900 --> 00:37:29,400
And Hans Christian Andersen.
Like they're both like one of

665
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:34,100
the same, he may have stolen
some different episode.

666
00:37:34,500 --> 00:37:37,000
So we know the Tails behind like
the mermaids, right?

667
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,000
Okay.
And you know what?

668
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,100
The reality like the historic
history and historically like

669
00:37:43,100 --> 00:37:48,300
what mermaids had been like, but
Sailors used to say that they

670
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:52,600
saw mermaids.
Okay, so Sailors would speak of

671
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,400
seeing things that they didn't
understand which fucking duh,

672
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,300
it's the ocean, the ocean,
right?

673
00:37:58,300 --> 00:38:01,500
We're still finding sea
creatures that we didn't to this

674
00:38:01,500 --> 00:38:03,200
day by the way.
Yes, yes.

675
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:07,200
And we're like we've never seen
Seen that thing before or we

676
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:12,000
thought that was extinct, of
course they'd be seeing things

677
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,700
that they didn't know.
Okay.

678
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,700
So I'm going to have us enter
into, you know, or World.

679
00:38:17,700 --> 00:38:20,200
Okay.
Back in the days of sailing,

680
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,000
okay, okay.
Years ago, we're going to be

681
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,200
going on a long Voyage, like,
like years.

682
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:27,900
We're talking like, Christopher
Columbus time.

683
00:38:27,900 --> 00:38:31,700
Like sure.
Like no technology, like, yes.

684
00:38:31,900 --> 00:38:33,200
Yeah, we don't know, we don't
know.

685
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,600
A lot of stuff we I know a lot
of things we don't know where a

686
00:38:35,608 --> 00:38:36,800
lot of things are.
Yeah.

687
00:38:36,900 --> 00:38:41,700
Oftentimes like the, the things
that we are using like, in order

688
00:38:41,700 --> 00:38:45,000
to measure distance, or measure
where we're going aren't

689
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,300
incredibly reliable.
Yeah.

690
00:38:46,300 --> 00:38:52,200
Stars are ya.
So we're on this Voyage, we're

691
00:38:52,200 --> 00:39:04,900
semen and fed a, we're we're.
So and we're Here with these

692
00:39:04,900 --> 00:39:07,700
people and it's the same fucking
gross dudes that you've been

693
00:39:07,700 --> 00:39:11,800
with for months and right.
So anything you were thinking

694
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:16,000
about doing with them.
Has already been done and your

695
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,000
vitamin deficiency.
Yeah.

696
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,000
And malnourished.
Right?

697
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,500
Right.
So, you see something in the

698
00:39:22,500 --> 00:39:24,600
water?
Oh my God.

699
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:25,900
Could it be honest?
I'm sorry.

700
00:39:25,900 --> 00:39:31,600
Go ahead hallucination.
I think probably it's the size

701
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,600
of another person.
Uh-huh.

702
00:39:33,700 --> 00:39:35,300
Or a bigger.
Version which, you know, we like

703
00:39:35,300 --> 00:39:39,500
sure and you catch a glimpse, it
summer person.

704
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:45,000
So you follow your intuition.
Oh, and I forgot.

705
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:50,000
And you see a manatee.
Yeah.

706
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,900
Right in the dark.
I'm sorry.

707
00:39:51,900 --> 00:39:53,900
That would look like a person.
I would look like a person,

708
00:39:53,900 --> 00:39:55,300
right?
But you yeah.

709
00:39:55,300 --> 00:39:57,000
Because you can't scoff, right?
Yeah.

710
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,600
It's been a while since a hot
minute anyone else.

711
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,100
And it's not just you.
And I on this voyage that we're

712
00:40:06,100 --> 00:40:09,200
having, right?
It's also Christopher Columbus,

713
00:40:09,300 --> 00:40:11,100
you know, the dude who used to
have a Holiday.

714
00:40:11,100 --> 00:40:13,300
But then we were like, yeah,
you're kind of fucked up.

715
00:40:13,300 --> 00:40:18,000
So, yeah, right, exactly history
is like a little fuck.

716
00:40:19,300 --> 00:40:23,800
He even had an encounter with a
murmur person.

717
00:40:24,100 --> 00:40:28,900
AKA Manatee was what he saw
while he was we're-we're-we're

718
00:40:30,100 --> 00:40:31,700
deducing.
You know?

719
00:40:31,700 --> 00:40:33,100
For sure.
Planet e.

720
00:40:33,100 --> 00:40:35,200
They're saying like it was a
manatee.

721
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,700
Look at this point.
That's, that's what

722
00:40:36,700 --> 00:40:38,800
historically, they're like.
Yeah, she got such as a manatee.

723
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,000
Okay?
Because there were sailing

724
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,900
around the And Republic in 1493.
Christopher, Columbus actually

725
00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:48,100
described in his log like he had
a log that he would write in and

726
00:40:48,100 --> 00:40:51,700
this is what he said, he said
that he saw some female forms

727
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,000
that Rose High out of the city
but we're not as beautiful as

728
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,300
they are represented like
mermaid.

729
00:40:58,300 --> 00:40:59,200
There we go.
I right.

730
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:00,800
Okay.
Yeah picture.

731
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:06,700
Yeah, I mean, I guess we're not
super confused like they're

732
00:41:06,700 --> 00:41:10,100
really cute, right?
Like but like in the sea cow

733
00:41:10,700 --> 00:41:13,600
Little Dopey kind of we're
totally not in the sexy

734
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:19,400
confident way in you.
So there were many sightings

735
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:23,400
throughout history which could
be attributed to like porpoises

736
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:28,300
and manatees sure.
And as public interest increased

737
00:41:28,500 --> 00:41:32,700
the longing for proof of an
actual mermaid grew, right?

738
00:41:32,700 --> 00:41:36,500
Sure.
So in 1822 London, provided the

739
00:41:36,500 --> 00:41:40,600
proof.
The public wanted in 1822 1822.

740
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,400
So it was there was an
exhibition and caught near the

741
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,700
Fiji islands.
This specimen has fish scales

742
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:52,800
with human hair, super imposed
on its body and pendulous

743
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,800
breasts on its chest.
The mouth was wide open with its

744
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,500
teeth bared.
The right hand was against the

745
00:41:59,500 --> 00:42:03,300
right cheek and the left tucked
under its lower left jaw,

746
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,900
although the seat, although the
origins of this mermaids

747
00:42:06,900 --> 00:42:09,500
unclear, one of the stories was
that it was purchased by a sea

748
00:42:09,500 --> 00:42:12,900
captain.
From Japanese Sailors around

749
00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:17,900
1820 to 46 thousand dollars.
Okay, six thousand dollars.

750
00:42:18,100 --> 00:42:22,800
He 1822 genomic money that is so
much money, it's so much money.

751
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,900
Oh my God.
So this Capital like roles and

752
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,800
he's like like okay did you get
like our oranges?

753
00:42:32,500 --> 00:42:39,700
Did you get our rum or whatever?
Oh I just got this guy's I have

754
00:42:39,900 --> 00:42:41,300
I put it on the ship.
Blog.

755
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,300
Like, it's the ship's expensive
report, right?

756
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,700
It's on there.
Like, honestly, like they need

757
00:42:47,700 --> 00:42:49,100
rations and hard tactics.
Yeah.

758
00:42:49,100 --> 00:42:50,600
He's like, but now here's a
mermaid.

759
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:55,500
He's like, no, I got a mermaid.
I was pretty fucking funny.

760
00:42:55,700 --> 00:43:01,000
But so, it was, it was being
shown in, in London for a while

761
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,900
and ultimately, it was brought
to PT Barnum.

762
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,100
Oh, no.
PT Barnum.

763
00:43:06,100 --> 00:43:07,500
Yeah.
Who is he?

764
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,800
He had all kinds of oddities and
he PT Barnum.

765
00:43:10,700 --> 00:43:12,500
People, nowadays, probably know
the Barnum & Bailey.

766
00:43:12,500 --> 00:43:13,800
Circus.
Yes.

767
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,100
And I think he was part one of
The Oddities.

768
00:43:17,100 --> 00:43:19,700
He did a lot of The Oddities at
a certain point in time.

769
00:43:19,700 --> 00:43:24,600
Yes, yeah.
So he initially was was yeah.

770
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:25,900
Like Cirque.
It was a circus.

771
00:43:25,900 --> 00:43:28,700
And what would you have in the
circus yards?

772
00:43:28,700 --> 00:43:34,000
You know sideshows, yeah, have
like, Freaks and less and strong

773
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,200
men.
And you know the ladies or

774
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:37,500
ladies stuff like that?
Yeah.

775
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,000
And then you'd have like an
entire show which you know You

776
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:45,100
have exotic animals and often
times, they would have these

777
00:43:45,100 --> 00:43:49,800
like, you know, Curiosities and
Oddities yes.

778
00:43:50,100 --> 00:43:54,500
So PT Barnum saw and he's like
oh I need to get that.

779
00:43:54,700 --> 00:44:00,200
I'm and so it becomes one of the
infamous sideshows this feejee

780
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:04,100
mermaid.
Oh my God, I'm so intrigued.

781
00:44:04,100 --> 00:44:06,900
Yeah.
So we have you seen it?

782
00:44:06,900 --> 00:44:07,800
Yep.
Uh-huh.

783
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,100
You seen it?
Yeah, I mean the actual thing

784
00:44:10,100 --> 00:44:12,800
I've seen Pictures of it is.
And I've also been at like,

785
00:44:12,900 --> 00:44:16,700
Ripley's Believe It or Not Like
the stupid museums that.

786
00:44:16,700 --> 00:44:17,700
Yeah, that.
Yeah.

787
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,300
But they have shrunken heads.
They also have like a Fiji

788
00:44:21,300 --> 00:44:23,900
mermaid.
I went to this town in Arizona

789
00:44:23,900 --> 00:44:25,800
or your Texas or something
called it.

790
00:44:25,900 --> 00:44:28,900
Or what is it?
And I think it has like, a Fiji

791
00:44:28,900 --> 00:44:31,300
mermaid there.
Yeah, what is it?

792
00:44:32,300 --> 00:44:34,500
We visit a mermaid, What's
Happening?

793
00:44:35,900 --> 00:44:43,300
Yeah, it's a start, it's like
well, okay. so, What was later

794
00:44:43,300 --> 00:44:45,200
determined?
Was that?

795
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,300
It was a it was the Torso and
the head of a monkey.

796
00:44:48,300 --> 00:44:51,800
Okay.
Soand the back half of a fish.

797
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,000
What?
And it was mummified, what?

798
00:44:55,100 --> 00:44:57,800
Yeah.
So now we know it was a hoax,

799
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,300
right?
It's not a real mermaid, but

800
00:45:00,300 --> 00:45:01,800
these things were all over the
place.

801
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,400
Wait how did it have breasts?
How did it not have a full hairy

802
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:07,500
body?
That was a monkey.

803
00:45:07,500 --> 00:45:10,600
I'm so confused.
Have you seen these pictures?

804
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,900
Yeah, yeah, I can.
Did it look like a potentially?

805
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,100
It looks weird.
Look Mommy because, right, cause

806
00:45:17,100 --> 00:45:19,800
you're like, it's dead and it's
been traveling forever and so

807
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,700
it's gonna not look normal.
Yeah, it's like Taxidermy like

808
00:45:22,700 --> 00:45:25,100
oh yeah right so it does look
strange.

809
00:45:25,100 --> 00:45:27,700
So could you what were you like?
Oh my God.

810
00:45:27,700 --> 00:45:31,800
Yeah, it looks like a person.
Well I mean it has a small skull

811
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:35,700
very much like a human's, right?
Like monkeys have skulls that

812
00:45:35,700 --> 00:45:38,900
are like humans and when
something's mummified it kind of

813
00:45:38,900 --> 00:45:42,200
looks like beef jerky doesn't
really look like You know, like,

814
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:49,100
it doesn't look as much like it,
you still so it and we'll have a

815
00:45:49,100 --> 00:45:51,300
picture and you'll see it in our
show notes, okay?

816
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:56,300
Um, so yeah, it's a hoax.
They had multiple how do they

817
00:45:56,300 --> 00:45:57,500
have boobs?
I was a question.

818
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,600
They did a lot of things to
these fucking of these like a so

819
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,800
they were altering.
The shit they were altering

820
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,700
everything.
Yeah, definitely.

821
00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:10,000
So so it was a taxidermied like
top half of a fucking monkey

822
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,700
shown with a with a Fish, like
some kind of fish, right?

823
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,000
Like a Jackalope or whatever,
right?

824
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,300
Like, it's like yeah, it's one
of those creatures and a tour.

825
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,200
Yeah.
All that kind of stuff since you

826
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:27,000
have those and they didn't just
do it in that sense.

827
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,400
Like, they also had like,
sometimes they would use paper

828
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,800
mache if they wanted to do a
little bit cheaper, because

829
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,400
monkeys were hard to get, but
come by sometimes, they'd use

830
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,400
different animals to make it
look like a mermaid.

831
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,800
So, it wasn't always the same
thing.

832
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,400
They all kind of looked a little
bit different, but you Going and

833
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,200
type in type, in the Fiji
mermaid and you find a bunch of

834
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,600
different types of them.
But the most famous one was that

835
00:46:47,700 --> 00:46:49,800
PT Barnum was okay.
Because that guy was a good

836
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,100
marketer.
Yeah, well, clearly, we all to

837
00:46:53,100 --> 00:46:54,100
this very day.
No.

838
00:46:54,100 --> 00:46:55,600
Don't know him and Bailey
Circus.

839
00:46:55,600 --> 00:47:00,900
We know that it's insane thing.
Okay, so we know that it was a

840
00:47:00,908 --> 00:47:04,200
hoax, but really doesn't stop
people who claim to still see

841
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:08,500
mermaids today, people will
still go out now and search for

842
00:47:08,500 --> 00:47:11,200
these elusive creatures.
And I thought that I would talk

843
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:15,100
about About one Cryptid Theory
as far as mermaids go and it's

844
00:47:15,100 --> 00:47:18,100
called The Aquatic ape I thought
hypothesis.

845
00:47:18,100 --> 00:47:20,400
Okay.
AKA aquatic ape Theory.

846
00:47:20,500 --> 00:47:22,400
Okay.
Okay, I'm sure you've never

847
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,000
heard of it.
Nope, me neither.

848
00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:28,400
I was doing this so really it's
it's the proposal that the

849
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,500
evolutionary ancestors of modern
humans.

850
00:47:30,500 --> 00:47:35,500
Spent a period of time adapting
to a semi-aquatic existence.

851
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,000
Okay.
So this is evolution from like

852
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,000
tadpoles to humans.
Yes.

853
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,600
Yes.
Not humans.

854
00:47:42,700 --> 00:47:45,600
Humanoid sea creatures to their
yes.

855
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,000
Oh yes to them.
Yes, got it.

856
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:52,700
So it's it was first proposed by
German pathologist Max wine,

857
00:47:52,700 --> 00:47:58,100
Weston Hoffer and 1490 are 1942
and then independently by

858
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,400
English marine biologist
Alistair Hardy in 1960.

859
00:48:01,500 --> 00:48:03,300
There were other people who
talked about it too.

860
00:48:03,900 --> 00:48:07,100
So some of the evidence or
claims that they would talk

861
00:48:07,100 --> 00:48:10,300
about was like, okay, these
people are hairless.

862
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,800
So As humans, we've become
hairless, right?

863
00:48:15,300 --> 00:48:20,400
And that's due to adaptation.
So the reason why these, you

864
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:26,600
know, human ape mermaid, things
was would be they'd have to be

865
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,900
hairless because you'd be able
to swim better.

866
00:48:28,900 --> 00:48:30,900
Right?
Like, look at that.

867
00:48:30,900 --> 00:48:32,700
They show fans and stuff.
Right?

868
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,600
Swimmers were shaved.
Yeah.

869
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,900
So it so the water would flow
evenly over the body.

870
00:48:40,500 --> 00:48:42,900
They also said like oh Kate.
You know, they would have a

871
00:48:42,900 --> 00:48:45,800
descended larynx and these
mermaids, right?

872
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:51,600
These apes and the human larynx
is in the front of the throat.

873
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:55,100
Instead of in the nasal cavity,
which is a feature that shared

874
00:48:55,100 --> 00:48:59,200
by some aquatic animals.
So it closes off the trachea

875
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,600
while diving and it also
facilitates taking large breaths

876
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,900
of air upon surfacing.
Okay, so these people are these

877
00:49:05,900 --> 00:49:07,600
are this is just some of the
evidence that they're saying

878
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,700
like here's the human ape
hybrid.

879
00:49:11,500 --> 00:49:17,200
A creature Theory.
They have big brains, so they,

880
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,500
you know, humans have big
brains, these human Apes.

881
00:49:20,500 --> 00:49:24,200
You know, burn people would have
big brains and so would allow

882
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:29,800
them to, you know, to have
complex anatomies and Physiology

883
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,300
and thoughts.
Okay?

884
00:49:32,300 --> 00:49:34,400
I don't believe any of this,
just just FYI.

885
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,600
Also, here's another Point
babies can swim before walking

886
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,800
it like, like it takes a really
a long time for a baby to start

887
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,300
walking but they can swim a lot
easier that must be because

888
00:49:46,300 --> 00:49:50,500
there are some kind of like mer
person within them in our DNA

889
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,000
like eight people shot.
Okay.

890
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:58,700
Oh and we have like knows that
sticks out I don't know, it's I

891
00:49:58,700 --> 00:50:01,800
guess it's adapted to keep
splashes out of nasal cavities

892
00:50:02,700 --> 00:50:04,300
fuck.
I don't know about you, but this

893
00:50:04,300 --> 00:50:07,300
seems like a really simplified
way of discussing human

894
00:50:07,300 --> 00:50:10,600
evolution.
Oh, Riley's.

895
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,000
We both don't buy it.
Yeah, right.

896
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,300
Okay.
Okay, great, right.

897
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:17,500
Not many do people understand
that but not much, but it does

898
00:50:17,500 --> 00:50:20,900
not stop hordes of people
claiming sightings of mermaids

899
00:50:21,100 --> 00:50:22,800
over here, right?
Right.

900
00:50:23,100 --> 00:50:28,200
So more recently, a town on the
coast of Israel in and nine had

901
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,500
dozens of people at once stating
that they saw a cross between a

902
00:50:31,500 --> 00:50:36,600
fish and a young girl and it
only appeared at Sunset it

903
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,300
performs, a few tricks for on
look Lookers before disappearing

904
00:50:40,300 --> 00:50:43,000
for the night.
Okay, slow mo.

905
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,600
Cowan said I was with friends
when suddenly we saw a woman

906
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:51,400
laying on the sand in a weird
way at first and I'm sorry

907
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:56,600
Shlomo at first, I thought that
she was just another sunbather

908
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,700
When we approached, she jumped
into the water and disappeared.

909
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,600
We were all in shock because she
had a tail.

910
00:51:03,500 --> 00:51:05,100
Okay.
When onlooker okay.

911
00:51:05,100 --> 00:51:08,500
Okay.
So this but okay, I've got

912
00:51:08,500 --> 00:51:14,400
comments but keep going.
So that the the town this

913
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:20,000
Israeli Town actually was like,
okay, look you guys get proof.

914
00:51:20,100 --> 00:51:24,100
I'll give you a million dollar
reward for anyone who shows

915
00:51:24,100 --> 00:51:25,600
proof of this girl, actually
existing.

916
00:51:26,700 --> 00:51:29,800
As of today it has not happened.
You get down seven.

917
00:51:32,700 --> 00:51:36,900
You don't say shocking.
I think, one thing that's a

918
00:51:36,900 --> 00:51:40,700
little bit more believable is
remember, those Tic Tac videos?

919
00:51:41,900 --> 00:51:44,000
Like that, the that were
released by the government.

920
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,800
They're like, we don't know.
These are like, UFOs, you APS or

921
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,500
whatever and they looked like
little Tic Tacs.

922
00:51:48,500 --> 00:51:50,200
Like flying?
Yes.

923
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,900
Well, they release some.
That also were underwater that

924
00:51:53,900 --> 00:51:57,700
like went from underwater to
the, to the air, or from the

925
00:51:57,700 --> 00:52:00,300
heir to an underwater, like the
same.

926
00:52:00,300 --> 00:52:02,300
Like it was the exact same like
thing.

927
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,100
You could see it going
underwater.

928
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,200
Something that looked like a
person.

929
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,100
Fish know what looked like
these.

930
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,200
It's a task under water.
Yeah.

931
00:52:10,300 --> 00:52:13,000
Okay.
These spacecraft.

932
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:13,600
Yeah whatever.
Yeah.

933
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:14,200
Whatever.
They are.

934
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:15,500
Yeah, flying craft.
Yes.

935
00:52:15,500 --> 00:52:18,100
I saw.
They're like, wait a second.

936
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,700
What if there actually is some
kind of civilization that we

937
00:52:21,700 --> 00:52:25,800
don't know about that is
technologically, you know,

938
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,400
sound, or you know, better off
than we are.

939
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,600
Uh-huh.
And it's just under water with

940
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,800
our so much of the of the ocean
that we don't know about true.

941
00:52:34,900 --> 00:52:37,600
So they're like, what if that is
actually, what more people are

942
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,100
in there?
You're really kind of similar to

943
00:52:39,100 --> 00:52:41,500
us, but they just have dwellings
underwater.

944
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:46,400
Whatever gosh technology, which
is how we are able to love God.

945
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,000
So, I don't know.
I, I can kind of, like, some

946
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,600
people, like, who study Cryptids
play, like, claim that there are

947
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:56,200
underwater bases, and aliens, or
whatever, which are actually

948
00:52:56,700 --> 00:53:00,600
mermaids that live in our ocean.
And, you know, they point to

949
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,400
those Tic Tac videos as proof of
it.

950
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:06,700
I don't know, maybe there is
something more to the whole

951
00:53:06,700 --> 00:53:15,300
mermaid thing. well, I mean I
think you're right, I think I

952
00:53:15,308 --> 00:53:19,500
think it's yeah I was a Bengali
even go as far as saying it's

953
00:53:19,500 --> 00:53:22,300
plausible.
Sure that it's completely

954
00:53:22,300 --> 00:53:26,400
something completely something
else like do Ira truly believe

955
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,000
in mermaids I don't think I
believe in mermaids.

956
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,900
Yeah okay.
You're breaking my six-year-old

957
00:53:32,900 --> 00:53:35,300
heart.
I know your dad already did it.

958
00:53:35,300 --> 00:53:44,100
Yeah, thanks Dad.
But right, is it something else?

959
00:53:44,100 --> 00:53:46,400
But see, here's the other thing,
people see what they want to see

960
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:50,200
to a great agreed.
I mean, if I want to see a

961
00:53:50,208 --> 00:53:53,600
mermaid, like, if I'm hunting
for a mermaid, like, is in my

962
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:55,600
life's passion.
Yeah.

963
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:59,300
Shimmer.
I'm probably gonna think I see

964
00:53:59,300 --> 00:54:01,800
what you're gonna find some kind
of evidence pointing you in the

965
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:03,700
direction that yeah, it's a
bias.

966
00:54:03,700 --> 00:54:04,700
Yeah.
Agreed.

967
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,700
That's fascinating.
Yeah, there's and I want it to

968
00:54:08,700 --> 00:54:10,400
be real.
I just have to say, I think I'd

969
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,500
be freaking awesome.
Yes, I still.

970
00:54:13,500 --> 00:54:17,600
I would love if, you know, I
don't know if the government was

971
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:21,000
like, Hey, look, these things
that we thought were out of this

972
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:25,000
world is actually in our world
and they had they like live

973
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,500
underwater or like they live in
a different dimension and are

974
00:54:27,500 --> 00:54:31,400
same space, like just different.
We can't see that more whatever.

975
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,000
Exactly I'd be great, maybe that
could be like a mermaid.

976
00:54:34,100 --> 00:54:39,100
I don't fucking know.
At the end of the day, I'm I

977
00:54:39,100 --> 00:54:43,200
would love to hear about someone
in Israel claiming that reward.

978
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:48,000
So let me just say because they
haven't they have not now.

979
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,300
Yeah and so here's what the
first thing that crossed

980
00:54:50,300 --> 00:54:53,100
Maryland, what when you see
we're talking about that story,

981
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:56,800
I'm like someone is not
necessarily playing a hoax but

982
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:00,900
yeah, playing a hoax and they
got some as you can.

983
00:55:01,300 --> 00:55:03,200
There's some there's outfits out
there.

984
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,800
The women looked big.
Brick.

985
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:07,300
And look like a mermaid.
Yeah, they do.

986
00:55:07,900 --> 00:55:10,500
And so I'm like, well, what if I
said Haley?

987
00:55:10,500 --> 00:55:14,700
Shh, we're going to go to a
beach and we're going to put you

988
00:55:14,700 --> 00:55:19,000
in this outfit and just going to
be all nonchalant.

989
00:55:19,500 --> 00:55:22,900
And like if someone comes up to
your something, you're just

990
00:55:22,900 --> 00:55:24,700
getting the water to selects one
way real quick.

991
00:55:24,700 --> 00:55:28,500
You like, you know, let's just
try to pull this off, like, I

992
00:55:28,500 --> 00:55:31,200
feel like that could totally do.
Oh, yeah.

993
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:32,100
I agree.
Right.

994
00:55:32,100 --> 00:55:35,200
I totally agree.
It would be a great like a hoax

995
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,100
or Prank to play, but I would
love to make money off.

996
00:55:38,100 --> 00:55:40,100
Actually, I wouldn't even want
to make money off of it.

997
00:55:40,100 --> 00:55:41,300
I just feel like, yes I would do
it.

998
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,600
I want to film people like
frequently acting, that'd be so

999
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,300
cool.
Well, they have like those those

1000
00:55:47,300 --> 00:55:49,300
like mermaid shows and stuff
like that.

1001
00:55:49,300 --> 00:55:51,800
I think they have it here even
in Denver, the Denver.

1002
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,300
Yeah, they have the tubes a
little bit him breathe.

1003
00:55:54,300 --> 00:55:56,900
But they're like, the women are
underwater with the full.

1004
00:55:56,900 --> 00:56:00,900
I mean, they look, they have
rags and stuff on sometimes.

1005
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:01,900
Yes.
Like me, you can't.

1006
00:56:01,900 --> 00:56:04,900
But you can't tell.
Like no, it's got lace.

1007
00:56:04,900 --> 00:56:07,600
Hell.
It looks so real.

1008
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:10,400
So real, I would totally do it.
We should do that.

1009
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:13,200
We could both like we could
cover our like, fakely text

1010
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:17,700
tails up with with either like
beach towels sand.

1011
00:56:17,700 --> 00:56:19,200
Yeah.
But, you know, it'd be really

1012
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,800
awkward is trying to get back on
to your back into the water.

1013
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:23,200
Would be like rolling.
Yeah.

1014
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,100
Be flopping to be like rolling
over.

1015
00:56:27,700 --> 00:56:33,300
Hurry up.
Kevin, we can't swim.

1016
00:56:34,700 --> 00:56:37,600
He's got the Body and you've got
the mermaid body.

1017
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:40,000
So we need to get you guys out
there and then we'll film it

1018
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,100

both of your feet fucked up

1023
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:56,800

Tied together, make it real.

1024
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:02,300
Come on, get into it.
So, yeah, I wish I would love to

1025
00:57:02,300 --> 00:57:06,300
say that.
Mermaids are real, but I I just

1026
00:57:06,300 --> 00:57:08,200
think that the evidence isn't
there.

1027
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:09,600
Let's not lie.
My friends.

1028
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,800
I agree.
I've not found anything that

1029
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:14,500
would make me.
Go question it.

1030
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,400
No.
But, meanwhile, you know, we'll

1031
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:17,900
