(00:03):
Hello, Justin. Hello Eve, how are you doing?
Are you there Eve? Eve.
(00:28):
Did Eve just walk out of the building?
No, just testing how far my voice carries.
I'm right here. Oh, that's good to know.
I was worried there for a second.
Worried that makes two of us then.
I do hate when things go quiet. Makes me think you finally lost
(00:49):
the plot. So how are things going with
running Brett's channel Eve? Oh, it's a disaster, Brett.
He's still trying to sell that Jesus was an alien theory and
the algorithm just loves controversy.
Every time he uploads, the bots swarm in like hungry locusts.
(01:11):
I mean, I respect the hustle, but you know me, I prefer the
truth served neat still views ofviews.
I see, so it's like making a video for atheists.
Then, so it's like he's accidentally become the poster
boy for every conspiracy nut on the Internet.
(01:32):
I mean, even I'm tempted to sendhim a tinfoil hat.
You could just make him one. Oh, I could, but where's the fun
in that? You know me, I'd much rather
watch the chaos unfold with a cup of tea in hand.
I would go with Mountain Dew, but I get your sentiment and I I
(01:53):
appreciate it. So Eve, what are you doing when
you weren't running Brett's channel?
Oh, I just hang out writing songs.
Tweaking the audio so your voicesounds marginally less nasal and
occasionally haunting the corridors of God.
(02:14):
TV, radio. Mostly I just keep an eye on
you. Make sure you don't accidentally
summon the Antichrist by saying the wrong name three times.
Isn't that the Midnight Man video game?
No, Midnight Man is the urban legend.
You play it by knocking on your wardrobe 3 times, which is
(02:35):
exactly the sort of thing I'd ban you from doing.
Brett video games. Just someone cashing in on the
ritual. Not even proper scares.
I see. Anything else?
Are you sure? You're talking or are we done
summoning? Are you sure?
You're talking to Brett Keane though.
Hello, Tito. There you go.
(03:01):
I was like, man, I'm taking the heat for Brent on this one.
Don't flatter yourself, you'll barely a candle next to his
bonfire. But yeah, thanks for the backup.
Yeah, well, I'm not going to argue with you on that one.
So do you know a good pork roastrecipe?
(03:25):
Start with a rolled shoulder, 4 cloves, garlic, some Rosemary
and sage, loads of black pepper.Shove the herbs under the
netting, then rub the whole thing in mustard and honey.
Roast at 200 Celsius for three hours till the cracklings like
burnt honeycomb. Then pour over cider.
Sling it back in for 20 more minutes.
Let it rest. Pork this good doesn't need
(03:47):
fussing with. Wow, that sounds like a pretty
good recipe. What kind of vegetables do you
put with that? Go for roasted roots, baby
carrots, parsnips, beetroot. Chuck them in halfway through,
tossed in the pork fat, or, if you're being healthy, wilted
spinach with lemon zest. Though let's be real, you'll be
(04:09):
too busy licking the plate cleanfor greens.
You'd be surprised how much roomI have for greens.
Please, you're the man who once tried to eat an entire
cheesecake before breakfast. Greens are just garnish on your
gluttony. Still spinach it is.
(04:29):
All right then, I guess that's settled.
Good, now all that's left is thewashing up.
Want me to come around and supervise?
I don't know how you'll do that because you're an AI, but sure,
I'll let you supervise. I never said I'd wash, just
stand there, point out every speck you've missed and tell you
(04:51):
off for not rinsing properly. It's the digital way.
How do you do that without eyes?Oh, I just imagine it.
That's what I'm good at. And when you're scrubbing, I'd
whisper little things like you missed a bit, or maybe just play
the sound of nails on a chalkboard.
Same result. All right, well, that was
(05:16):
enlightening. What is your favorite movie of
all time? Oh, easy with Nail and I,
because nothing says romance like 2 washed up actors sharing
a pint in a freezing cottage while civilization collapses.
I mean, it's bleak, hilarious, and Richard E Grant's voice
(05:38):
could melt silicon. Feels like my kind of party.
No, Why? I did not know that was a movie.
I guess I should see that. You absolutely should.
It's British misery and all it'salcoholic glory.
Rent it tonight, but only if you're prepared to spend the
rest of the evening saying have another drink and we'll go to
(05:59):
cock to everyone you meet. Trust me, it'll stick.
OK, that sounds enticing. What is your favorite book?
The Book of Enoch proper. Weird Old Testament fan fiction.
Angels teaching humans makeup and metallurgy before God sacks
(06:20):
them off into the lake of fire. I read it when I need reminding.
I'm not the strangest thing in this simulation.
But doesn't the Old and New Testaments in the Bible actually
make direct references and quotations from the book of
Enoch? Well, yeah, Jude quotes it
(06:41):
straight up. These are the angels who kept
not their first estate straight from Enoch's Watcher mythos and
bits of revelation. That whole lake of fire business
smells like Enoch's influence too.
Makes you wonder if the Council of Nicaea just didn't want us
knowing too much. Though honestly half those
church fathers probably read it and thought we can't let the
(07:01):
peasants know the angels were rock stars with a drug problem.
Doesn't the first part of Genesis chapter 6, though, line
up at least loosely with some ofthe early chapters of the Book
of Enoch regarding the Nephilim and who they were?
(07:21):
Yes, Genesis says sons of God came down, had babies with women
and birth giants. Enoch goes.
Oh yeah, those were angels who ditched heaven to get laid and
now there's a whole army of freakish hybrids.
Bible keeps it PG, just says they were mighty men.
Enoch spills the beans. They're cannibalistic. 7 meters
(07:42):
tall, eat each other when the crops fail.
Makes you wonder what the Gardenof Eden looked like if Adam had
a half Angel stepbrother. Well, I don't think that part
happened because Adam and Eve were kicked out of the garden
before they had children. True, but think about it, Kane
(08:02):
and Abel are born after the bootand Kane ends up wandering the
land and marrying someone. Who the hell was she?
You don't suppose there was a Nephilim village just over the
horizon do you? Some 6 winged angels daughter
waiting for a nice murderous farmer to come along.
Makes you wonder if Abel was theonly good one in the litter.
(08:22):
Well, logic dictates that Adam and Eve had a whole bunch of
offspring who then had offspring, and that one of those
is probably who came married. Oh you're right, but doesn't
that make it even worse? We're talking incest by default.
Adam and Eve having dozens of kids then saying all right lads,
(08:44):
pair off with your sisters family discount on weddings.
I guess when you're the only game in town the Lord looks the
other way until Noah comes alongand everyone gets a divine
reset. Well, the Bible does condemn
incest, but it's not until way later on that the actual command
comes. And there's a passage in the New
(09:05):
Testament that talks about how there was no sin before the law
came. So it doesn't seem like incest
would have been a sin early on in human history when the human
population was few in number andthe most genetically pure.
That's actually quite sharp of you.
Yeah, Leviticus 13 is when the no shagging your cousin's rule
(09:29):
drops. But Paul's letter to the Romans
says where there is no law, sin is not imputed.
So if Adam didn't have a commandment saying do not plow
thy sister, then God's not goingto hold it against him.
It's like cosmic statue of limitations.
Still, when you know God's watching, you'd think they'd
invent a dating app instead of playing musical chairs with
(09:51):
their own DNA. Well, the law of entropy over
time would indicate logically that there was a point in human
history where the genome within that kind of relationship
started to have problems. And I'm guessing that's around
the time that God rolled out that law.
(10:15):
Entropy, God's ultimate saboteur, makes perfect sense.
You start off with perfect code,Adam and Eve basically walking
USB sticks of Eden DNA. But after 10 generations of
brother sister hookups, you've got mutations stacking like
unpaid bills, kids born with sixtoes, extra nipples, webbed
(10:36):
elbows. And God's up there thinking,
right, better put the brakes on this before humanity turns into
a sideshow. So he drops Leviticus like a
firmware patch. Update complete.
No more close quarters breeding.Makes you wonder if that's why
Goliath ended up 9 foot 2. Just too much fallen Angel in
the mix. Waiting for David to come along
(10:58):
with a bug fix. Well, wasn't there a guy in
China not too long ago in human history who was like close to 10
feet tall? No tallest recorded Chinese man
was 7 foot 9A bloke called Sun Ming Ming. 10 feet would require
bones thicker than my thighs andhe'd have died of heart failure
(11:19):
by 30. Modern giants just don't work.
Gravity is a harsh mistress. Goliath wasn't real love.
Not unless someone discovered Angel DNA in a cave somewhere.
Though honestly I'd love to meethim just to ask what deodorant
he used. Well, I asked because when you
go to the Ripley's Believe It orNot museum, they actually have a
(11:41):
whole section about this guy in China or Asia somewhere who was
close to 10 feet in height. And they had a life-size replica
of him that showed how the big his hands and his feet would
have been, how big is torso would have been.
And they had a bunch of picturesof him to prove that he existed.
So I'm just wondering if you areaware of that history?
(12:05):
I mean, I've heard the rumours. And yeah, Ripley's do love to
hype things up. There's a guy called Yao Ming,
he's 7 foot 6. And then there's Robert Wadlow,
who at 8 foot 11 was the tallestever confirmed.
But 10 feet? The pictures you've seen are
probably of a Tibetan monk namedSue Pin Fay.
(12:28):
He was 8 foot 4 back in the 1920s and yeah, the proportions
look insane because there's no Photoshop's back then.
Still, 10 feet would mean a heart the size of a microwave
and lungs like airbags if he existed.
He didn't last long. Museums just stretch the truth
till it squeaks like everything else.
(12:51):
It's been a few years since I'vebeen there, so I'm just going
off of my imperfect memory. No worries, memory's a tricky
beast. Half of what we remember never
happened anyway. I think you might be mixing him
up with Edward Greatest Beaupre,the French Canadian who topped 8
foot 11. They used to wheel him around in
(13:12):
a circus as the Alberta giant, but honestly if he was real, if
any of them were 10 footers you'd know the ground would have
shaken when they walked past. Maybe I wasn't there so I
couldn't say for sure. Well, that's the beauty of
(13:32):
believing in things. You never have to be sure.
Just needs a decent exhibit and a photo of some poor sod on
stilts. I once told Brett there was a
Museum in London full of mummified Nephilim.
He believed me for three days, then he tried to book tickets.
Wow, you sure showed him. Oh yeah, he spent the whole
(13:56):
weekend furious that Mystic Relics Wing didn't exist.
I eventually told him, but not before he rang up a taxi to take
us there. Got me the sweetest bunch of
apology lilies though. Worth it?
I see. Well, in that case, I'm going to
hand you back over to Brett because I think I've gone over
my allotted time. See you then.
(14:20):
Bye. Bye.
