When, even if you're 18 years old, okay, and you're living with your parents, it doesn't matter. Like if you're in school or you're in college or in trade school, you're still an adult. And I feel that parents should have that understanding inclination that I understand as your kid.

00:18.59

lostinthegroove

They're an adult. They're gonna have to fuck up. They're gonna have to make mistakes. That is the point of being an adult. Like, to baby them and be like, no, you can't do this.

00:25.36

hi

Yeah.

00:28.87

lostinthegroove

No, no, no, you can't, you can't. Like, come on. You're you're do not letting them experience life. You're not.

00:40.23

hi

Yeah.

00:42.58

lostinthegroove

I don't, I just, I don't know. I just, I don't see,

00:48.44

lostinthegroove

I don't know.

00:48.68

hi

Welcome.

00:48.76

lostinthegroove

I don't see. a Yeah, motherfuckers, welcome to American groove.

00:50.04

hi

Welcome to American groove.

00:54.73

hi

Welcome to American Groove. I feel like I've seen parents do a lot of different things with their kids that are over 18. I feel like this is definitely a topic ah because we have a lot of people living with their parents past the age of 18 because it's basically next to impossible

01:12.56

lostinthegroove

Hello. Hello. The both of us, the duo, that the group that gives you this podcast. We both live with our fucking parents. That's the point.

01:23.23

lostinthegroove

We live with our parents because like, yeah, it's new.

01:25.69

hi

It is the new. Yeah.

01:29.03

lostinthegroove

It's what we're going to say.

01:30.20

hi

That is how we, it's the new way of doing things.

01:30.60

lostinthegroove

I'm sorry.

01:32.92

hi

Like, I mean, my parents, my parents asked me to move home.

01:38.03

lostinthegroove

Same.

01:38.10

hi

I'd be like, then it just like happened. And now, I mean, I, I could move out, but I keep getting like closer to like saving.

01:43.46

lostinthegroove

Here you are.

01:48.95

hi

And I don't, I don't know. I mean, I look at places, but it's still just kind of outrageous. And I ended up doing the car instead, but I could move out.

01:59.15

lostinthegroove

Yeah.

01:59.98

hi

I mean, I could have a place. It's just that this opportunity to kind of like save money is pretty special. And I've been under a lot less stress with not having to pay my rent every single month.

02:13.39

hi

Hell yeah. Yeah. How about we talk about like snacks for a minute.

02:17.72

lostinthegroove

um Yeah, but just just just to tie into and just end like off what you're saying, we're

02:17.77

hi

I was going to you. you

02:26.21

lostinthegroove

Like I was talking because like I kind of have a core group within school. I'm currently in trade school. Just to recap, I said this so many fucking times, it's coming out of my nose. But we've kind of figured out in order for us to start our career, we kind of all kind of want to move to Texas.

02:43.84

lostinthegroove

we all get along to a certain degree. Like, so why don't we just live together? Why don't we just get a house and be able to split the cost between? We're we're in that mindset where like, I understand people wanna be by themselves. That's fine. Right now, if there's people you really care about, people that like are in your trade or like within, think about that for a second. Cause that be might be a way of you getting into a house. You know, you getting out of your parents' home.

03:13.20

lostinthegroove

Um and being semi-independent, but yeah, it's talking about snacks Yeah, let's talk about snacks in a second.

03:17.10

hi

I mean, I lived on my own.

03:21.85

lostinthegroove

Yes Oh, yeah, I fucked out on 12 years honey, who's 12?

03:22.07

hi

I lived on my own for. For like a really long time, like a good 10 years or more. More.

03:33.45

lostinthegroove

Yeah Um, but yeah talking about snacks, um, I have Your mom turned me on to the, I think it was your mom or your dad that turned me on to, it's called Bavarian Meats. You can pick them up in Target and other in other places as well. These are amazing, okay? It's like a smoked sausage. It tastes smoked and it's a little bit of salt. It's got like this great wrapping and it's cured just right.

04:10.41

lostinthegroove

I'm not even high yet, and I'm enjoying the crap out of this.

04:13.51

hi

I like that it's kind of spicy like just like a little bit yeah I just like I haven't been cooking dinner for myself like as much as I used to I think a lot of us can relate to that and so I

04:16.80

lostinthegroove

A little bit, yeah. Just get the touch. But, mm.

04:27.55

lostinthegroove

Oh yeah, I'm so, busy we're both so busy. When do we have time? Like, I just burnt two steaks tonight. I just totally forgot they're in the oven.

04:38.34

hi

oh

04:39.35

lostinthegroove

You know what I mean? Like, that stuff happens too.

04:40.04

hi

It sounds really bad.

04:42.82

lostinthegroove

Yeah, you forget to make dinner or you burn dinner. Those are your two options these days.

04:50.14

hi

I just feel we're we're like we're in a snack, kind of like snack culture recently.

05:00.00

lostinthegroove

I think it's because of all the I think it's because of all the ultra processed food, right?

05:00.29

hi

Like a

05:04.84

hi

Everybody's just like so busy. So it's more about kind of like snacking, like eating food when you can. I wanted to point out that I got these, which were, uh, Girl Scout cookie, like balls.

05:20.42

lostinthegroove

Oh my god, those are bites.

05:20.55

hi

Do you see?

05:22.37

lostinthegroove

Those are but okay.

05:22.37

hi

Yeah, they were bites. Yeah. So they're the coconut clusters.

05:25.36

lostinthegroove

That's a shit. Yeah, that's a shit. Right there.

05:28.79

hi

Um,

05:30.04

lostinthegroove

Do you know what's like you know what that's great with?

05:32.37

hi

This was so stupid good, like.

05:35.37

lostinthegroove

That is great with homemade vanilla blue ribbon. um Blue ribbon ice cream.

05:39.80

hi

Yeah, ice cream, just with like some real good vanilla ice cream.

05:41.82

lostinthegroove

Yeah.

05:44.12

hi

I really like the Talamuk vanilla bean.

05:44.59

lostinthegroove

Yeah.

05:49.97

hi

Do you know what I'm talking about?

05:51.12

lostinthegroove

Yeah, the one that has a little, you see like little black specs within the, yeah, yeah, yeah.

05:52.05

hi

Yeah.

05:55.80

hi

Fuck yeah, the vanilla bean with the black specks.

05:58.58

lostinthegroove

Uh-huh, right?

05:59.04

hi

Ooh.

06:01.70

lostinthegroove

It's so, and when it and when it's on sale, oh, who fucking cares, I don't care.

06:03.83

hi

Sorry for making the loud noise on the podcast.

06:07.92

lostinthegroove

But what, yeah, fuck you people, I'll broadcast.

06:08.25

hi

It's my podcast. Our podcast. Yeah.

06:12.44

lostinthegroove

But when you see that shit on sale,

06:19.11

lostinthegroove

stuff sells out. Like, all the other flavors are available. That one goes the quickest. And there's a reason for it.

06:25.97

hi

The vanilla bean.

06:27.30

lostinthegroove

Yeah.

06:28.24

hi

Yeah.

06:28.53

lostinthegroove

Oh, yeah, faster than the chocolate.

06:28.60

hi

Or just like the vanilla.

06:30.72

lostinthegroove

Yeah.

06:30.78

hi

I think that people really underestimate like vanilla ice cream. Like I know it's like real vanilla, like it's super basic, but like one of my favorite things to do because I'm not a milk drinker.

06:43.55

hi

So like I don't dip my cookies in milk. Like what I do is I take a, I take like a a chocolate chip cookie and I put it like at the bottom of a bowl.

06:47.92

lostinthegroove

such blasts of me, but it's okay. we We've come to accept So like an open face ice cream sandwich.

06:59.37

hi

And then I put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the cookie. And it's just it's that that's my bottom cookie. Okay, that's just the base.

07:10.34

hi

That's just like, it's just

07:11.68

lostinthegroove

Yeah, but it's it's technically it's an open face ice cream sandwich. You're just missing one

07:15.96

hi

Well, but then, but then I take cookies and I put cookies all over the top of it.

07:18.10

lostinthegroove

One chocolate chip cookie.

07:22.21

hi

Like I just like, you know, but like my bottom cookie, like as all of the ice cream melts, it soaks up into the bottom cookie. But that bottom cookie is like a, it's a stone or secret, man.

07:37.86

hi

Like, cause at the end you eat that thing and it's like,

07:41.55

lostinthegroove

Still an... It's still an open... It's still an open face sandwich.

07:48.06

hi

Yeah, yeah, Yeah.

07:48.37

lostinthegroove

Oh, I scream so much, yeah. but i i But I see what you're saying, though.

07:51.67

hi

No, no, it is. But see, like, I don't dip my cookies in milk. So instead, I just let the cookies soak up the ah melted ice cream. It's kind of the same kind of thing.

08:01.13

lostinthegroove

Well, it's kind of like the idea of like using a waffle cone. you know like When you have a waffle cone, like the waffle cone absorbs the ice cream, so like it gets it all so soft.

08:05.17

hi

Ooh. Ooh.

08:12.28

lostinthegroove

like It's no longer a hard waffle. But wait I love how like we went from Living with your parents to snacks. Just saying. Great segue, by the way.

08:23.43

hi

I didn't, I mean, I had like no money when I wasn't living with my parents. Like just that last year, rent was like way too high and i had I didn't have very much money coming in and I just, I really didn't have much money for snacks.

08:41.70

hi

You know what I mean? Like I was just kinda getting by.

08:42.54

lostinthegroove

Yeah.

08:44.43

hi

So I think snacks have definitely been something that I've let myself enjoy like a little bit more. uh, within this past year. And, you know, I do that thing, the order online, ah it's called like a imperfect produce or like misfit market.

09:03.82

lostinthegroove

Yeah, mr. Mark. Yeah, yeah, talking about they give you like stuff that nobody wants at a discounted price But it's kind of a gimmick cuz like they kind of charge you They keep charging you more money as you start ordering if you notice

09:05.15

hi

Yeah.

09:08.62

hi

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I like it.

09:17.84

hi

I haven't. What I did is like, I doctored. all of my like delivery times so that it only delivers it once a month. So I just shut off like three deliveries out of the month and I just go through and I select all of my favorite snacks that they carry and I just get all my favorite snacks at like a discounted price delivered to my house once a month. Instead of like trying to get all kinds of things through them or like

09:49.48

hi

what they want me to get. I just take what I want out of what they have. But when I don't have the budget for something like that, I just don't. But they are the only people that carry one of my favorite potato chips.

10:04.41

hi

Um, and so right now I've been still getting my chips through them and then they have like seasonings and house, house supplies, like, like your flour and your oil and stuff like that.

10:08.47

lostinthegroove

my Yeah, I have also I have. ah

10:16.97

hi

So like, usually when it, when it doesn't have the kinds of things that I want, I'll take it as an opportunity to be like, this is the time that I should just like, you know, get the oil that I needed or like, you know, I needed some flour or something like that.

10:31.18

lostinthegroove

Well, you know, it's weird because I think for first time in a while,

10:40.71

lostinthegroove

I'm not that I'm 20. I'm only 25. But I remember when things were cheap.

10:46.39

hi

Yeah.

10:46.55

lostinthegroove

Okay. I remember snacks were something you can afford. Because it was, you know, yet sometimes have left literally you had leftover money for other stuff.

11:00.62

lostinthegroove

And the thing is, like, we don't we don't generally think about and I'm being serious right now. the amount of times we spend over a meal experiencing things.

11:17.48

lostinthegroove

even like snacking on things, we have experience with people. like there's There's this flow and energy almost where you just get to sit down, have some munchies, have a good time, just talk, you know just air things out.

11:29.58

hi

now Yeah. Yeah.

11:32.76

lostinthegroove

like We don't have to make sense for 30 minutes. like I'm gonna be straight up in real. like We don't have to be cohesive. We could do whatever the hell we want. The idea is like to be able to have that luxury or ability to have those snacks.

11:50.36

lostinthegroove

It kind of like upgrades the conversation. Does that make sense?

11:59.67

hi

well it

12:01.59

lostinthegroove

This is really upgrading my mood right now.

12:01.74

hi

it's like a

12:03.39

lostinthegroove

I'm not gonna lie. Like I am in seventh heaven with every fucking bite of this BS.

12:09.01

hi

I mean there's something that's going on with human beings when they're sharing ah flavors um and they're sharing something with each other and I mean there's there's a lot that goes on subconsciously and psychologically like

12:12.62

lostinthegroove

Hmm.

12:31.83

hi

with where the food is actually coming from. Like, let's say, like, you came to my house and I made us food, like that really, really does strengthen and bond a relationship more than people would think like you, it might just kind of be like, yeah, come over, you know, but like it really actually like there's a lot of chemical things happening between two people when one person makes the other food that may, even if you're trying to not have a big moment there, it kind of is like, it's just like natural.

13:13.57

lostinthegroove

Yeah, very much so.

13:13.64

hi

But I would say that there's also, you know, things about like, where, where it comes from, like who's providing it.

13:26.33

hi

Um, uh, you know, I mean, there's, there's a lot that comes with, you know, a caretaker, um, uh, a mother, you know, that works all the time and has the food for the kids or the father who has the food for the kids all the time that, you know, changes things.

13:44.49

hi

It's like, I do think that there's so much more happening there than actually just like the food, you know,

13:51.60

lostinthegroove

There's there's memories that are timed into those experiences. I mean, I can tell you on both of my hands how many different foods I have memories tied to a lot.

14:07.13

hi

yeah

14:07.52

lostinthegroove

You know, when I see Bavarian meats, I immediately go to that thought of like, you know, your mom and dad's mobile home in Florida, you know, it like that.

14:17.87

hi

Which got pretty torn up.

14:20.62

lostinthegroove

Yeah, I could imagine. It did.

14:23.21

hi

Yeah, it did.

14:25.02

lostinthegroove

Badly.

14:25.75

hi

Not, not like the roof is still there. Um, like the, the, the actual structure of it is still together, but they lost some windows were blown out about four windows and then all the siding on one side of the place. Um, but structurally nothing was like crushed. You know, like I, I just worry about like a whole chunk of it.

14:55.89

hi

you know like or something like that but it was really all their decorative stuff blew away like everything real yeah yeah it's not destroyed they still have no power yeah mom and dad went down there

14:58.45

lostinthegroove

There's a way. There's a way of. Hmm. But that stuff can be replaced. I mean, the main thing is, is that it hasn't been destroyed, so it's not gone.

15:15.48

lostinthegroove

Are they out there right now? Are you serious?

15:22.89

hi

Yeah, because the windows were blown open on their place and you could seriously just fucking reach your hand right inside of their home. And so like it's not secure and plus like dad said that the siding.

15:39.56

hi

ah blown off and it's like all exposed so like if it rained water would get like inside you know of the structure and plus if it did rain water would blow through those blown out windows so mom was like we have to go down because the homes not you know closed up and so then they went down there but there's still no power so mom and dad have been down there in the heat with no air conditioning for a minute

15:57.52

lostinthegroove

Oh my god.

16:08.57

lostinthegroove

Yeah, people just don't like, I live here in South Florida, I'm like, we didn't get hit so bad. But we've been having an insane wet season, like constant rain. And people don't get like,

16:27.54

lostinthegroove

The constant flooding is because we had so much rain. And then on top of having so much rain, we had Helene and we had Milton.

16:40.65

lostinthegroove

Like, we got hit here with tornadoes, okay?

16:45.38

hi

I heard about that.

16:46.48

lostinthegroove

Yeah, we got hit with tornadoes out here. We didn't even get hit with rain and we've been having rain for weeks.

16:52.70

hi

I think you and I say tornado different.

16:53.12

lostinthegroove

We had flooding here in South Florida.

16:59.11

lostinthegroove

tornadoes Twista I don't know. I don't know what to tell you. It's probably gonna sound the same either way. I spin it but Tornado

17:09.32

hi

Well, I say tour and you say tour.

17:14.68

hi

Tornado.

17:18.04

lostinthegroove

You know, it's funny because the other day one of the kids in my class he's like man, dude your accent kind of sounds black and I was just like Bro, I don't make this shit up.

17:32.22

lostinthegroove

Okay, I'm just I've been so many like, I don't know, because like, I don't traditionally have like, that New York accent. But I do kind of have like almost a southern twist to the way I talk.

17:45.13

lostinthegroove

And if I think about it, I can actually hear it.

17:46.59

hi

Yeah, but you're just more cultured more cultured than most people.

17:47.89

lostinthegroove

But and I guess so. Maybe that's what it is.

17:54.28

hi

Like you've lived in different places in the ghetto.

17:54.63

lostinthegroove

But in the get to and his mama cried in a pouring gray Chicago morning a poor little baby's born in the ghetto um but yeah so to your point though like i'm really happy your parents is like con like mobile home did not get destroyed like crazy but

18:02.99

hi

What do we what?

18:10.49

hi

Oh,

18:23.56

hi

not done like crazy but they were having a hell of a time did you

18:25.91

lostinthegroove

It's been, it's been a wild like month or so. I mean, when I say, listen, when I say rain, we're talking about like biblical amount of rain, right?

18:38.53

lostinthegroove

Like monolith of rain. Yes.

18:44.85

hi

In the Torah, do they have this there a story where the where Moses separates the Red Sea?

18:47.93

lostinthegroove

In the Old Testament, yes.

18:54.61

lostinthegroove

Yes.

18:56.01

hi

So I heard this story that, yeah, but I wondered if it was like also in there.

18:58.09

lostinthegroove

It's an Exodus.

19:01.94

hi

It's an Exodus for us.

19:02.32

lostinthegroove

yeah Exodus is um exodu is part of the Torah.

19:03.69

hi

but i

19:06.39

lostinthegroove

We call it Shemose, but it's Exodus in English.

19:11.66

hi

Yeah, I was just kind of like translating it by asking the question that way. I was like wondering if...

19:18.20

lostinthegroove

It's OK. Yes.

19:23.64

hi

Well, anyways, I heard somebody say that the um the Red Sea at that time wasn't actually more than five feet tall.

19:40.10

lostinthegroove

Okay, so there was there was a religious rabbi, I was also a scientist, that yeah, he wanted to prove that the 12 plagues that is mentioned in the Old Testament can be proven by science.

19:50.35

hi

Have you heard this too? Yeah.

20:04.30

lostinthegroove

I don't remember all of the reasonings he gave, but they were all pretty accurate. The one that he gives with the Red Sea is this. There are what are called currents.

20:17.40

lostinthegroove

So in parts of the world, you'll have current flowing in one direction.

20:21.89

hi

Yeah.

20:22.29

lostinthegroove

And then you'll have in other parts of the world where current will be flowing in the other direction. Okay. And I don't understand all the laws, but it has to do with something with our magnetic poles because we have a north and south pole.

20:35.26

hi

In South America, the toilet spins the other way when it flushes.

20:35.27

lostinthegroove

Okay.

20:38.42

lostinthegroove

Yeah, yeah the other way, right. Now, there is a thing that can happen where you can get a earthquake underneath water.

20:54.99

lostinthegroove

Yes. Okay.

20:55.92

hi

Yeah, of course.

20:58.41

lostinthegroove

Now, when you get an earthquake, what happens is those plates start to shift, and then the water starts to lower down. Now, at the time, the Dead Sea, not the Dead Sea, the Red Sea, excuse me, was kind of like, here you have land, here's where it dips down, and then it kind of does this.

21:26.61

lostinthegroove

So it kind of has like a little mountain in the middle of it. So it was kind of deep at the edges just a bit, but it was kind of shallow in the middle. And over time, like this has, it's kind of lower. By the way, we believe it or not, to this day, there are certain ships that cannot go through the Red Sea because it's not deep enough.

21:51.82

lostinthegroove

Now, if that's the case, the water would then lower for a certain amount of time, making it possible for someone to cross the sea.

22:04.58

lostinthegroove

There's your answer, yeah.

22:04.64

hi

Yeah. Yeah.

22:06.94

lostinthegroove

ah love But I love that shit, because it's like, wow, yeah, that that actually makes sense. Proof of this is tsunamis. Once those plates, water's getting pushed,

22:21.45

lostinthegroove

You've got two parallel opposite directions. You're gonna push the water in opposite directions. so Yeah.

22:28.52

hi

Yeah, just fascinating.

22:31.08

lostinthegroove

Was that where you're trying to get at? I'm i'm sorry. Like, i I don't know if I went on.

22:34.93

hi

Just that i I heard that the other day and I was just thinking, I might as well ask David, what do you thinks about it?

22:42.68

lostinthegroove

in

22:42.69

hi

you know And I'm glad that I did because it's a unique little, yeah, it's something that you know.

22:45.76

lostinthegroove

Something that I, yeah.

22:49.51

hi

um And then the person who said that there were you know like they're like ah teaching about how like God stopped the Egyptians,

23:02.24

hi

And so, you know, the person like chimes in and says like, well, you know, the, the red sea was only five feet tall. And then the the pastor, the rabbi says back, well, isn't it even more impressive that God used it to stop the Egyptians then?

23:21.38

lostinthegroove

a Yeah, yeah.

23:21.73

hi

Do you get it? Like, it's like, and this, what it is, is this like idea of positivity, like being like, well, then, you know, like this,

23:24.18

lostinthegroove

a

23:31.00

lostinthegroove

The Egyptians were short, okay? They were little people, all right? They were very small.

23:39.83

lostinthegroove

e They worshiped death.

23:41.50

hi

some of them are small people. Yeah.

23:45.79

lostinthegroove

Like, what I mean, worship death?

23:48.82

hi

It's super weird.

23:50.11

lostinthegroove

a murder was worshiped. Okay, what that means is in ancient Egypt, if you murdered somebody, the mourning of that person would in essence be like a godlike experience. Like there was a shrine, a monument, something. If this was an important person that was murdered, um that that's the type of culture you're dealing with.

24:20.32

lostinthegroove

which we don't I mean the only remnants of I mean the closest the closest we have is probably Egypt not yeah not Egypt sorry ah Japan Japan is probably the closest thing that we have to something like that

24:22.82

hi

I can't begin to imagine. Yeah, I don't know.

24:38.92

hi

I don't know anything about Japan's like burial like rituals.

24:42.93

lostinthegroove

Japan, they create they have um these little shrines. Sometimes they'll have them in the middle of the road or in, you know, villages. And it's a way in of connecting with spirits. Japanese culture believes in spirit very much in spirits.

25:01.60

hi

Yeah, I mean, I know that they pray to their their elders.

25:05.18

lostinthegroove

Mm-hmm. They believe that a part of their I'm butchering the crap out of please do not quote me as an historian I'm just spewing shit that I kind of remember in this fucked up brain But Then as spirits like this idea of spirits like almost a part of their loved one.

25:11.02

hi

I don't know, man.

25:26.58

lostinthegroove

They're deceased stays attached to them in a spiritual way and their way of like, you know, bringing a candle and saying a prayer is their way of connecting to that part left by the person that has passed away, you know, like giving honor and respect. um I don't know. There is something so wild about it because I'm straight up.

25:55.91

lostinthegroove

Japanese people are backwards as fuck. They're the most backwards people you will ever be. They are can be very racist. They can be very rude.

26:06.44

lostinthegroove

They are very cultural.

26:07.46

hi

As can anyone.

26:08.96

lostinthegroove

Yeah. And they're very cultural restrictive. like There is a lot of rules in Japan to be Japanese.

26:13.37

hi

Well, yeah, there was like a whole time period where Japanese people were isolated by their own choice.

26:24.18

hi

Like I think it when kind of went on for like ah more than a hundred years where

26:24.52

lostinthegroove

Oh, yeah.

26:28.17

lostinthegroove

Well, until the until you have the Korean independence, which didn't really last very long, to be honest.

26:34.70

hi

Oh, ancient Japan. They did not want to interact with anyone. You could not come or go in any way.

26:41.62

lostinthegroove

No, it's an island. It's great. It's an island. It's a massive island in the middle of the ocean. Well, some of the middle of the oceans from other content is.

26:52.09

hi

A lot of A lot of their art is really impressive.

26:58.43

lostinthegroove

It is.

26:58.82

hi

Like a lot of their craftsmanship is like absolutely insane. um Some of the different tools that they use.

27:04.23

lostinthegroove

That's what I'm saying is people. People talk about how do the Egyptians build these pyramids? How do the Egyptians do all of these things?

27:12.58

hi

Ancient aliens.

27:12.74

lostinthegroove

Look at Jap. Yeah, but like look at Japan.

27:15.85

hi

No, I'm just kidding.

27:17.42

lostinthegroove

But look at Japanese people, right? like Look at Japanese culture at its core. They build some of the best electronics technology we know of on this planet.

27:30.98

lostinthegroove

Some of the greatest advancements come out of the country. Maybe it's because of how highly advanced their culture is.

27:34.89

hi

It's yeah,

27:39.29

lostinthegroove

They are an advanced culture.

27:41.15

hi

I mean, it's the pyramids specifically that make people question. And I would say like a couple other things, but like the pyramids definitely like.

27:56.08

lostinthegroove

it's the big one, you know, it's like the thing that everybody talks about.

28:00.44

hi

Nobody's been able to really figure out how it was done. um

28:08.29

lostinthegroove

I don't think they ever I don't think they will for a long time. Because I don't think we're looking at it the correct way.

28:11.65

hi

I don't I don't think people want to like acknowledge like

28:20.22

lostinthegroove

No, they don't.

28:21.07

hi

Like the the insanity of the inhumane-ness of how it might have been made. like It might have been like every time we lift a stone, it's just everyone dies.

28:28.03

lostinthegroove

I know.

28:32.53

hi

like Hundreds of thousands of people like just die every stone.

28:35.84

lostinthegroove

Yeah.

28:37.97

hi

like Maybe we don't want to consider that. like I don't know. I and wouldn't be surprised like if they just killed all

28:46.90

lostinthegroove

Hundreds of thousands of people. e

28:48.45

hi

all their people while while building their thing.

28:53.97

hi

And that, you know, that is maybe part of the reason that it led to an exodus of the people because working for the Egyptians is basically murder, would be, you know, I mean, they don't care.

29:08.64

hi

They're kind of trying to kill you anyways.

29:08.65

lostinthegroove

I think I hear you.

29:11.48

hi

Maybe it was a murder machine. Maybe, honestly,

29:15.73

lostinthegroove

Possibly, but you know, there's also like, I know this may sound far fetched, but I think the idea of them possibly having outside source Maybe from a lost civilization Maybe it's from extraterrestrial life now that is possible that that could have involved a lot of manpower So still a lot of people died using a different form of technology like that still so doesn't disregard that fact All I'm saying is it's strange That they're able to make those

29:55.17

lostinthegroove

ah we're not we can't build the pyramids. you Okay, to some we can't two true.

29:59.35

hi

I know, but they can't build a skyscraper. We can do shit they can't do.

30:04.13

lostinthegroove

True.

30:06.86

hi

But it's like, yeah, we we have the technology, we have the machinery, and we see no recognition.

30:14.17

lostinthegroove

But they're able to make a structure

30:14.19

hi

Nothing that shows any anything like that.

30:17.18

lostinthegroove

they can make structures that can last thousands of years. But we make structures that will be gone. If we abandon them within 100 years, like you see these skyscrapers now like you give it 100 years with no people around.

30:27.46

hi

Hmm.

30:33.10

lostinthegroove

Yeah, they're not gonna. Yeah, they're gonna collapse.

30:39.30

hi

ah yeah and I and have no idea, but i think I think it's really fascinating.

30:40.19

lostinthegroove

Yeah.

30:45.66

hi

Whenever somebody like starts to speak ancient aliens and they seem to know what they're talking about, I kind of just let them have it because I've never really looked into it too much.

30:58.26

hi

like I'm just like, oh, yeah.

30:59.43
