Will You Survive "Greenland" part 2

Nine months underground sounds survivable until you ask the only question that matters: what kind of world are you walking into when the door opens? We take the disaster movie Greenland and stress-test it like a real survival scenario, from the physics of comet impacts to the human behavior that makes everything worse. Along the way, we call out the little details movies reuse to sell danger, including that familiar atmospheric entry shockwave sound and the Wilhelm scream hiding in plain sight.

Then we get into the science and the “survival math” people skip. We compare the film’s impact to the Chicxulub asteroid, talk asteroid vs meteor vs comet basics, and debate whether a bunker that shallow would actually protect you at that distance. The bigger problem is the aftermath: impact winter, dust and soot in the sky, stalled photosynthesis, freezing temperatures, garbage air quality, and the brutal question of whether soil is even usable. Greenland gives you a clean timeline. Realistic models do not.

Finally, we zoom out to what rebuilding really means when supply chains are gone. Could any of us restart modern life, or are we stuck in a lower-tech world no matter how “smart” we are? That spirals into time travel fantasies about investing, early Bitcoin regrets, and why copying the future is harder than it sounds. If you like movie reviews with real science, disaster preparedness talk, and honest survival debate, hit play, share it with a friend, and leave a review. What do you think survives, and would you even want to?

Brits, Distance, Heat, And AC

SPEAKER_01 0:24

What what kills me about like that?

SPEAKER_04 0:29

I've heard fucking British people being like, oh, I don't see my mom much because she lives 45 minutes away. Your shitty son is what you are. That's not far. Yep. And you know what? What since we're on the topic of the fucking Brits, when they want to talk about how hot it gets over there, fuck off. Well, we don't have AC. That's your fault. You could have AC.

SPEAKER_03 0:54

Like in thatched roofs and fucking stubborn buildings.

SPEAKER_04 0:58

Like, that's your fault. Yeah, how you gonna be? They want to like, well, you don't understand the heat, it's so humid. Fuck off. You ever been to the East Coast? Fuck off.

SPEAKER_03 1:09

Fucking AC if you're gonna have such well-insulated houses.

SPEAKER_01 1:12

They they talk about it.

SPEAKER_03 1:14

You're gonna hold the heat in, you fucking dumbasses.

SPEAKER_04 1:16

Yeah, they get like it's so passionate about the heat thing, and they're like, you don't understand real heat. I'm like, you have no idea what heat is. It hit like 88 degrees where you are, and you guys are shitting your pants and having heat stroke. I'm hiking dogs in 90 degree weather.

SPEAKER_03 1:34

To be fair, those fucking soldiers in front of the palace be uh they got bearskin hats, you know. I get that passing. But if you're just like a regular ass dude, and it's just 80.

SPEAKER_02 1:48

Dog give them any any quarter in the sense that when I was an athlete, I was running in 110 degree heat.

SPEAKER_04 1:55

Yeah, I'm like, this is no.

SPEAKER_03 1:58

Well, that's that's because you but back then you were running on the surface of the planet that just got hit by an asteroid, you know, wiped out all your dinosaur friends. It was still a little hot nine months after.

Movie Sounds And The Wilhelm Scream

SPEAKER_02 2:09

Speaking of comets and asteroids, so you know the movie got some things right. They dramatized a lot of the comet impact. What? And here's a little fun fact. Did you know that comets entering the Earth's atmosphere? That sound, that double shockwave, is used in every movie that portrays that image.

SPEAKER_04 2:27

That doesn't surprise me. Uh, you'd be surprised how many movies have the Wilhelm scream in it.

SPEAKER_02 2:33

Wilhelm screen?

SPEAKER_04 2:34

Yeah. Dude, did you see the fucking steam controller?

SPEAKER_03 2:36

If you throw it, it makes that noise. That's so funny. Yeah, if you if you drop it, there's a like you know, percent chance that it'll make a ah noise. Yeah, I can't even do the Wilhelm scream.

SPEAKER_04 2:48

Like, this is what it is. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That scream is in every movie you've ever watched. I'll put it in. You watch Transformers, it's in there. Like, oh, it's in everything. Anytime there's like humans getting thrown off of a building or something from something colossal, you always hear the Wilhelm screen. It's in Star Wars. It's buried in there. Everything.

SPEAKER_03 3:12

It's in everything.

SPEAKER_04 3:13

Uh but it's more of like a but you'll just hear that.

SPEAKER_03 3:16

It's more like the easter now. I feel like back then it's just like, oh, we don't got a lot of stomach.

SPEAKER_04 3:22

It was just a staple. But yeah, like I I was watching an old Transformers movie. It was like one of the first ones, and there's like a Decepticon does something and a bunch of humans get thrown around. You literally hear, oh like the Will Hand scream is so fucking loud, just right there in the open.

SPEAKER_03 3:39

It's in so many movies.

SPEAKER_04 3:41

It so many. It's funny. Like when you do kind of dig in, or like when you really focus on some of the audio, you start to realize how like repetitive some things are. But it's because it works.

SPEAKER_02 3:52

So you guys know that the uh the shock waves that they showed in this in this movie that broke all the windows and stuff, even though they messed up afterwards. That's actually highly accurate. We actually watched that in some of the comet strikes over in uh what is I don't know the problem. I believe it was in Russia. Yeah, that doesn't surprise me at all.

Shockwaves, Beirut, And Real Damage

SPEAKER_04 4:15

That doesn't surprise me because do you guys remember the Beirut explosion?

SPEAKER_02 4:18

Yeah. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04 4:20

Oh man, we there's so many camera angles of people uh seeing that shockwave. Yeah, I've seen the damage.

SPEAKER_03 4:26

Uh so many. There was a dude in the water, and his uh he jumped into the water before it hit him. Saved himself there. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 4:33

He was so close to that explosion. He was literally like in the bay of that explosion.

SPEAKER_03 4:39

And that explosion, that's the the shape of it. It just kind of it was just a fucking bubble. And he fucking expanded. Exactly.

SPEAKER_04 4:47

That was an insane explosion.

SPEAKER_03 4:49

And it wasn't even like a fire at first, it was just fucking No, it was that was horrible.

SPEAKER_02 4:54

Like some of the movies did well. The other thing this movie did well was portrayed the societal breakdowns, the failed evacuations, the uh poor human behavior and poor human decisions.

SPEAKER_04 5:09

I I will give props to the neighbor in the beginning. The guy, not the girl. I mean, the girl was the girl and her child, I I understand. But the the guy just like at first being like, take us, and he's like, I can't take you, and then the the neighbor just being like, like, I I'm sorry. I'm sorry, like that, I'm being crazy, I get it, I know, you understand. I'm sorry, just please let me know anything if you know anything. Which he never called him, by the way. Right, never texted him or anything, so that sucks. Kind of forgot about that guy.

SPEAKER_02 5:40

I get it though. He was trying to find his wife and son.

SPEAKER_03 5:43

He really did just forget about that guy. Yeah, like he wouldn't have been able to reach him anyways.

SPEAKER_04 5:48

He was like, I'll let you know. And then not even a mention of the guy's name, not even like a god, I wish I could tell him in the second in the second one.

SPEAKER_03 5:57

Walking through this wasteland, and then they come across the dude, and he's like, dude, what the fuck? Oh shit, I forgot. Dude, how are you alive?

SPEAKER_02 6:07

Totally forgot how you alive, I jumped into my pool.

SPEAKER_04 6:11

Okay. Are we getting to the end? Can we talk about that? Yeah, absolutely.

Bunker Depth And The Ending Beef

SPEAKER_04 6:15

Okay. My big beef, I don't think they were deep enough underground to be safe from that from that hit. I don't know, because like I guess it didn't hit Greenland, it hit Europe.

SPEAKER_03 6:28

How big was the one that hit the Yucatan Peninsula? Look that up.

SPEAKER_04 6:31

Yeah, what was it?

SPEAKER_03 6:32

How big of a of a comet or asteroid? How big of like the impact like site, you know, the crater? You can go visit it. It's a like well, most of it's in the water.

SPEAKER_04 6:42

Yeah, but it's a real thing. You can go see it. That's the one that killed the dinosaurs, right? Yeah, yeah. It's the one in Central America.

SPEAKER_03 6:48

I know space.

SPEAKER_02 6:50

That one was oh, pretty close. So the one in this movie was estimated to be about nine kilometers wide. Nine miles. Nine miles.

SPEAKER_04 7:00

I think they said miles.

SPEAKER_02 7:01

What the fuck is a kilometer?

SPEAKER_04 7:05

That was supposed to be a yeah, there you go. Did you see the video of that freaking like middle schooler who was like perfectly imitating all these bird sounds? I think I might have. He did that one, and he was he was like, Have you guys ever heard a bald eagle? Uh or he was like, you know the screech that a bald eagle makes. And he was like, Well, you've actually been lied to. That's not the sound a bald eagle makes. That's actually it's a it's a red-tailed hawk that does a screech like that. That's not a bald eagle.

SPEAKER_03 7:36

Yeah, the the vo the bald eagle is more of like a you know, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 7:42

It doesn't, it doesn't do a screech like that. It it does. I'm not gonna lie, when he did this kid was um he was doing all these bird noises. Oh, definitely. He was doing all these bird noises, fucking nailing them. Nailing them. At first, you're like, oh, this is funny. And then after the third one, you're like, no, this is impressive. This is not funny anymore. This is so cool. And then when he does the every time he started doing one, everybody was like, oh. But then he did the he did the screech, the hawk screech, and everyone was like, Holy shit! Like he fucking did it.

SPEAKER_03 8:17

Back in the day, that would have got John Ellen.

SPEAKER_04 8:20

Oh dude for sure. That was crazy. Yeah, it was so good. That kick got so much clout, 100%.

SPEAKER_03 8:28

Thanks for the gift, Josh. Um but yeah, the size of the meteor impact. So yeah.

SPEAKER_02 8:33

The size of the asteroid that hit in the Yucatan Peninsula was actually smaller than the one from the movie Greenland. So this was about six to seven and a half miles across. Okay. Some studies will extend it to 10 to 15 kilometers, which is closer to the the Greenland one. But that's the common estimate, six to seven and a half miles.

SPEAKER_03 8:55

And this one in the movie was said to wipe out Europe immediately when it hit. Yeah. The Yucatan one, wasn't that partially water? Or was that, you know? Because I I know it's in water now, but I don't know if it was still water back when it happened. Yeah, but what would be the difference?

SPEAKER_04 9:13

Yeah, I don't think it matters much.

SPEAKER_03 9:15

I feel like it would it it'd somewhat m matter a little bit.

SPEAKER_04 9:19

If it hits water versus the land, I mean I guess it it could it could depending on where in the water, if it hits like in the deepest part of the ocean, I think that would have an effect for sure.

SPEAKER_02 9:31

That'd be more uh it hit shallow water, yeah. Specifically a marine carbonate platform.

SPEAKER_04 9:37

Yeah, I don't think that would make much of a difference whether it hits that or land.

SPEAKER_02 9:42

The water depth varied varied roughly 100 meters on the western side to over 1200 meters on the northeastern edge, with an average central depth estimated around 500 to 650 meters. It was not deep ocean, but a relatively shallow continental shelf environment. Yeah. And it struck seafloor. Interesting.

SPEAKER_04 10:05

Yeah, I think something that big coming that fast doesn't really matter. Yeah, I don't know. Am I wrong in thinking that the I mean, maybe I'm crazy here. I don't think I'm that crazy in thinking this, but am I wrong in thinking that the when the meteor or when the asteroid is coming in, isn't it a meteor when it's coming into Earth and it's an asteroid if it's in space? I think so. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 10:30

I mean astro, astro is space.

SPEAKER_04 10:32

I think asteroid means it's in space. Meteor is actually something that penetrates Earth's atmosphere.

SPEAKER_02 10:39

Although the one in Greenland was supposed to be a comet.

SPEAKER_04 10:43

Yeah, which is entirely different. What is the difference between a comet and an asteroid?

SPEAKER_03 10:47

Comet lets off trails.

SPEAKER_04 10:48

Yeah, besides that, is there much of a difference?

SPEAKER_02 10:51

Primarily ice. Yeah. The meteor is um rock.

SPEAKER_03 10:56

The reason the reason that this one hit in the movie is because it broke into pieces and the tail of it was giving it enough propulsion to move it to aim towards Earth.

SPEAKER_04 11:10

But am I wrong in thinking that when if a meteor of that size were to penetrate Earth's atmosphere, that on its way to the bottom of the sea floor, it would evaporate all of the water with the heat around it?

SPEAKER_02 11:23

Uh theoretically, yeah, because it comes in so hot. It would be flash boils all of the water.

SPEAKER_04 11:29

So like technically it would just hit ground. It wouldn't hit water because it would boil the w it would evaporate the water almost instantly. I I think I'm pretty sure theoretically. Are you looking that up? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 11:44

But I feel like I don't know. I'm not I'm not too sure on like the depths that the heat would reach. I feel like if they're uh if because they had like blast doors and shit and they're under concrete, you know, I feel like they're that's enough to like, you know, not get fucked up by the initial shockwave and like you know, fire.

SPEAKER_04 12:09

I guess so.

SPEAKER_03 12:10

The worst thing about like you know, asteroids, meteors, whatever, is the aftermath when like everything's showering back down on you. It's kind of like a volcano. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 12:21

You know, so that's why, like, you know, that's why nine months is enough.

SPEAKER_03 12:25

No, I don't think so.

SPEAKER_04 12:26

I kind of can't imagine that would be enough for it not to be raining as cause like a fucking winter. Well, yeah, I would imagine that a meteor of that devastation would cause an ecological disaster. Would it not set off most of the volcanoes it on Earth?

SPEAKER_02 12:44

It could easily set off a volcano.

SPEAKER_04 12:46

I I don't know about all, but it could be I imagine it would set off like one of the supermassive volcanoes that would cause like uh an ash cloud of insane magnitude.

SPEAKER_02 12:58

The super volcano. That's a that's a possibility.

SPEAKER_04 13:02

Like I I I feel like this meteor hitting or this comet hitting would have a lot worse repercussions. And also, they were on Greenland, which is a volcano. Okay.

Chicxulub Comparisons And Impact Winter

SPEAKER_02 13:15

So I have an answer for you. Okay. So this is uh asteroid or meteor. So generically speaking, an asteroid is a space rocket. A meteor is the flash of light that you see in the sky. But scientists usually still reserve the term asteroid for larger objects and meteoroid for smaller objects. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 13:38

So it's more size dependent. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:40

Okay. Interesting. Yeah, asteroid, meteoroid. But so do we believe Well, let's see, because I think the one that struck the Yucatan Peninsula did set off volcanoes across the world. I I gotta imagine it. I don't know if we're talking absolutes.

SPEAKER_04 14:00

How bad did it affect the Earth's Well, I mean, so a rock that big hitting the earth that hard would cause so many quakes across all of the tectonic plates that I imagine it would have to disrupt some of the at least the volcanoes that are like active. I gotta imagine it sets them off. With that much magnitude, I just reverberating through the plates. Which uh really bad earthquakes can trigger volcanoes, no?

SPEAKER_02 14:35

And yes, there is evidence that the I I'm gonna butcher this name. I don't I don't know how to say, I don't know how to speak Spanish. Shikalob, the asteroid impact likely triggered or significantly intensified volcanic eruptions around the world, though it did not start them from scratch. Okay. So like ones that are already active, yeah, or ones that are close to being active, would likely massive flood basalt eruptions in what is now India, the Deccan traps, were already underway hundreds of thousands of years before the asteroid impact. However, several studies suggest that the impact triggered a major pulse of the most voluminous eruptions, the Y subgroup flows, which made up a large percentage of the total Deccan lava volume. The leading hypothesis, the enormous seismic waves from the impact, equivalent to magnitude nine plus earthquakes everywhere on Earth, shook up the mantle plume beneath India, increasing magma flow and permeability, leading to accelerated eruptions. Okay, so that that makes perfect sense. Also, the impact appears to have triggered widespread underwater underwater volcanic activity along mid-ocean ridges around the globe. So widespread, of course, doesn't mean all over the globe, but enough. All over the globe isn't really necessary for a uh a cataclysm of this size.

SPEAKER_04 16:03

But I think if a if a comet bigger than that meteor were to hit Europe, I think Greenland is being affected. I would imagine, especially like the Greenland volcano recently went off. So I I have a feeling it would go off pretty soon.

SPEAKER_03 16:22

Nine months is not a long time.

SPEAKER_04 16:24

Yeah, I don't think nine months is enough.

SPEAKER_03 16:26

I have a feeling it would need to be like years.

SPEAKER_04 16:28

There'd still be acid rain, would there not? Yeah, like I I can't imagine it's safe to go out after they were like the radiation is fine, like temperatures have subsided. But I'm like, even if that's all true, is the soil even growable?

SPEAKER_03 16:42

Can you grow anything? The air is breathable, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 16:45

Like that's another thing. Like they said the ash settled, but what's in the air still?

SPEAKER_03 16:49

Yeah, if if if it's setting off volcanoes and such, that releases a lot of harmful gases.

SPEAKER_04 16:56

Yeah, I just don't think nine months is enough.

SPEAKER_02 16:59

Okay, so the bunker would need to be several hundred meters deep, up to one kilometer deep.

SPEAKER_04 17:05

See, they did not stable rock, they did not run a kilometer down.

SPEAKER_02 17:09

Now though. That's what I'm thinking about.

SPEAKER_04 17:11

They only went down like they didn't show us everything, but what they showed us, they went down like if we're being nice, three staircases.

SPEAKER_02 17:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 17:19

I don't think they went nearly deep enough to be safe from something of that magnitude.

SPEAKER_02 17:24

Okay, so there the claim is it was plausible because the claim is that the impact was in Europe and they were far enough away from the strike to survive in that shallow in that shallow uh of a bunker. But this was a repurposed military bunker that was said to be 50 to 100 meters deep.

SPEAKER_03 17:52

How deep are our seed storage vaults that we got?

SPEAKER_04 17:57

You know, I don't know. Our seed storage vaults?

SPEAKER_03 18:00

Also, where do we keep all the cheese? Where's our cheese storage vaults at?

SPEAKER_04 18:04

You know, apparently there's these I think there's these storage vaults in it's either like Greenland or Denmark or something like that, where they literally have like one of every like type of seed and whatnot. Yeah, and they they like save it all in the event of like a catas uh cataclysmic event. We also have to do it. Basically like a giant data storage. Don't we have vaults in meat too?

SPEAKER_03 18:27

Probably. Probably cured meat.

SPEAKER_02 18:29

Oh wow. Okay, so a realistic timeline for atmospheric clearing. Uh the recent studies and models of the Shikalube impact shows these approximate phases. Initial darkness, heaviest soot or heaviest dust, soot-blocking sunlight, weeks to a few months for the coarsest particles to fall out. Then photosynthesis shutdown, roughly one and a half to two years. Global collapse of plant growth due to insufficient light. Severe impact winter, major cooling, freezing temperatures in many regions, three to ten plus years, driven by fine silicate dust, soot, and sulfate aerosols. Full dust clearing, fine micrometer-sized silicate dust, a major factor, can linger in the stratosphere for up to 15 years, with significant cooling effects persisting for a decade or more. So nine months is definitely not long enough.

SPEAKER_04 19:22

No.

SPEAKER_02 19:22

Although there would be very little to no long-term radiation from the impact itself.

SPEAKER_04 19:27

I kind of figured that.

SPEAKER_02 19:32

It would come from the fire, from the impact, from uh it would cause the chemical pollution and all of that kind of stuff. That stuff would be it would be clear, but no, you would be staying inside for several years.

SPEAKER_03 19:47

The seed vault is in Norway.

SPEAKER_02 19:49

Norway, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 19:50

I knew it was one of those countries.

SPEAKER_03 19:51

And it's a global seed vault, so like a bunch of people. A bunch of countries. It's really cool.

SPEAKER_02 19:59

I like the idea. Oh, here you go. So nine months gets people through the immediate hell fireballs, shockwaves, initial fallout. But emerging then would still mean entering a cold, dark, starving world with dangerous air quality. Yeah. A more realistic quote, safe to emerge window is closer to two to five years plus, depending on location and exact conditions.

SPEAKER_04 20:21

No, we're talking fallout shelters at this point. Yeah. Like it's becoming fallout.

SPEAKER_03 20:25

Which I imagine they had food and such for people.

SPEAKER_04 20:30

Yeah. Also, to to kind of wrap this up, uh I I find it very funny. Well, not very funny, but like they survive. They survive in that vault for nine minutes. Or nine minutes, what? Nine whole. Nine whole minutes. For nine months, they emerge. Now what? Right. You're in Greenland. Right. You're there's no planes. You're not getting off this this rock for a very long time. Right. So it's like your new home is Greenland. Not even Iceland.

SPEAKER_03 21:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 21:07

I mean, I I imagine they would have some like vehicles and such inside of the I that's what I was thinking, is like maybe they have a plane inside and a way to get it out. But even then, where are you flying to? Where are you landing?

SPEAKER_02 21:24

Right.

SPEAKER_04 21:25

Like there's just there's nothing you can really do.

SPEAKER_02 21:28

Right.

SPEAKER_04 21:29

If they're lucky, they have like some cars and stuff that they could use. But then what happens when you run out of fuel?

SPEAKER_03 21:34

To be honest, fuck

Surviving The Vault Then Starting Over

SPEAKER_03 21:36

rebuilding. Just like, why can't, you know, if if they're like prepared, they could have like a whole little ecosystem down there. You know, just make sure you got like row lights and stuff for food and you know, air recyclers, water recyclers, fucking This is again one of those situations where I'm like, I think it is better to just die quick than to survive.

SPEAKER_04 22:00

It because I'm like, if you survive it, I don't know, like after that, you're going back to the stone ages practically. Like, that's gonna be so hard. Like, dude, and we do have all the technology still, but like, no way to replicate most of that technology. Like, we can't make motherboards anymore.

SPEAKER_03 22:20

Like, we would have to I mean that's why everything they were like selective people, you know, selecting people.

SPEAKER_04 22:26

Yeah, it would it would have to be so, but like also in the Greenland one, that was not just selected people. It they made it clear that they were kind of just letting in anybody who arrived. Oh, right.

SPEAKER_02 22:37

I um it was the government, it was the US government that was selecting people, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 22:42

Which I think this was also the US government, but I think this was also like we're so remote that it's like we have the space, if you can make it, we'll let you in.

SPEAKER_03 22:50

Yeah, yeah. I can fully say that I could get to like we we can get to like the bronze age. But if I ask you how to fucking make a CPU, hey bro, can you make a rock think real quick? You gonna be able to do that for me? Exactly.

SPEAKER_04 23:08

You can be I mean that that's like the that joke where it's like, oh, if you could go into the past with the knowledge of what you have today, and it's like that's great. I I could explain what it is.

SPEAKER_03 23:19

Here's a phone. I couldn't build one. Well, how does it work? I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 23:23

I have no idea. How do you make it? I don't know. I don't know. I know that I turn it on, I can call people anywhere in the world, I can send a message. Do you call somebody right now?

SPEAKER_03 23:35

No, no, there are no cell towers.

SPEAKER_04 23:37

How do you build a cell tower? I don't know. Metal, I think I I think they're made of wood and there's wires coming out of them. Yep. Like there's so little that I actually think about how the world works.

SPEAKER_02 23:50

But see, there but there's concepts that you understand, right? Like, could you understand the simplest concept of electricity?

SPEAKER_04 23:57

I think I could figure things out. If some books survived, I think I could figure some stuff out.

SPEAKER_02 24:02

But like Well, what about engines?

SPEAKER_04 24:06

Like I couldn't make an engine, compression, air.

SPEAKER_02 24:09

See, that remember that there's a lot, a lot of ingenuity. But almost everything is completely destroyed. Sure. But it's no, we're talking about the analogy that you said going back in time. Oh, yeah. You go back in time and see the the the reason that they chose people was very well laid out. You you choose those people so that that stuff can be rebuilt. Right. All of the people they chose have the know-how, right? But now you take you or me, right? You go back in time. I can give you the concept of electricity. I know that if we take, let's just say, coal, right? If you have coal, wood even, uh, and we burn it over water or underwater, cause the water to to boil and create steam, and we keep refilling that water basin and keep creating the steam, and we put a turbine over it that will collect that that steam and cause it to turn. You can then start the more complicated function of electricity.

SPEAKER_03 25:17

Make like engines run off of fucking wood gas, which is literally just burning wood.

SPEAKER_02 25:24

Yeah. Um, that was that was old locomotives, right? I mean, coal. Yeah. It was coal that you could you could build a steam engine. I could, you know what?

SPEAKER_03 25:33

If I got sent back to like the olden agents, I would be a hell of a doctor. They would have been like, dude, he's a witch. I don't know how, but he said, I just have to run my hands in this water every time I go poop. Right.

SPEAKER_04 25:48

Some of the shit that I would say if I went back in time would get me hung uh as like a witch or something. It's like, dude, like there's little micro things in my like look just thin about medicine. Like, because the concept of germs is not as old of a concept as you would think.

SPEAKER_01 26:06

Right.

SPEAKER_04 26:06

So, like, I'm pretty sure it was not a known thing in the Salem witch times. But it'd be like, oh, you got sick because of germs. It'd be like, what are these germs you speak of? Like, oh, it's like, imagine these invisible little particles that are it's like dirt and they make you sick. It's like, so you're putting a spell on me. It's like, hmm. So no, but I could see why you would think that. Uh and now I'm getting hung.

SPEAKER_03 26:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 26:33

From what I know about the Salem Witch Times, they weren't very accepting of scientific discoveries and new ideas.

SPEAKER_03 26:41

Well, it was mostly just misogyny against women.

SPEAKER_02 26:44

Like I said, uh, it was the the uh what is it? We'll say stereotypical item, right? Woman single made uh gets a cat instead of a man. Cats kill rats, rats cause the the plagues, fleas on rats. So no rats in single women's houses who own cats, they must be witches.

SPEAKER_04 27:07

Yeah. Like, well, there's just like a couple of like I do think about

Time Travel Money And Future Knowledge

SPEAKER_04 27:12

that. If I could go back in time, like if I could go back in time with the money that I have right now in my bank account, like it would all be liquidated, all my investments and everything would be liquidated into cash and put in my pocket and exchanged at the same rate to whatever it's worth back in time, what time period would I go to? And I kind of feel like I would go to like 1940s, like maybe 1950s. I'm trying to avoid most of the big wars. Um, like if you could go back to 1950. 1956. If you could go back to 1910 or 1950 with the money that I have right now, still can't relate. Oh my god. It'd be insane.

SPEAKER_03 27:54

He killed a white man for that money. Can't relate. I gotta go further back.

SPEAKER_04 27:59

Yeah, or just a different.

SPEAKER_03 28:01

You just gotta go to the right geography. Yeah, just different geographics. Fuck it. I'm going, I'm going to Egypt, I'm building a giant pyramid made.

SPEAKER_02 28:07

Egypt would do it. Especially if you had money.

SPEAKER_04 28:10

Yeah, if I if but like imagine going back to like 1910 or 1950 with the money that you have now. But you could um I would literally be able to immediately buy a house outright. Just buy a house. That's a crazy thought.

SPEAKER_02 28:25

But that's where people would start to look at you sideways about how much money you have.

SPEAKER_04 28:30

Yeah. Well, I'd know to get into oil.

SPEAKER_02 28:33

And steal.

SPEAKER_04 28:34

Yeah, and steal.

SPEAKER_03 28:36

So just like speed run remember all fucking numbers for like the Powerball.

SPEAKER_04 28:41

I I've had a thought I've had a thought of uh like kind of like a book idea. I've had I would never actually write a book just because I'm not that type of person, but like a concept of like somebody going back in time, like a musician, and then thinking like I'm just going to make all the hits. So like all the Michael Jackson hits are actually gonna be me. All of the Queen hits are actually gonna be me. And the idea of like this person's actually a good musician and can accurate, like, pretty accurately recreate these songs. But what I think would actually end up happening is that a lot of music is the right time and the right people meeting at the exact moment.

SPEAKER_03 29:23

I'm gonna be 100%. I don't think you want to take the hick hits that uh that Mike took, Herdos doing it.

SPEAKER_04 29:29

Well, that's not even what I mean, man.

SPEAKER_03 29:32

I'm talking about his dad beating him.

SPEAKER_04 29:35

Yeah, yeah, no, I I gotcha. You you're derailing my conversation for that. Uh my my my thought would be that the songs would not hit the same way and they would not end up being popular, and it would actually just end up being this massive flop. But the idea of like somebody going back in time and being like, I'm going to like all the hits I'm actually gonna make. So like all the hits from all the greatest artists are like all made by this one person.

SPEAKER_02 30:01

Yeah, I'd rather not. I'd rather go back and remember things like the yahoo.com bubble, buy in and sell.

SPEAKER_03 30:10

The better thing to do buy into Amazon Apple to uh Disney to like spawn, like to be their manager, you know? Like do like invest in the artists, yeah, knowing what they're gonna do. Yeah, like fucking immediately sell off your stock once they do some fuck shit. Yeah, um, next year.

SPEAKER_02 30:33

You short your own stock.

SPEAKER_04 30:34

Oh, dude, yeah, I sold all my Diddy shares right before shorted all my stocks.

SPEAKER_02 30:40

I wouldn't even sell, I would short.

SPEAKER_04 30:43

It would uh but but yeah, I like if you could go back in time with the money you have now. I mean, I think I would just invest, I would just put it all into like Amazon, Apple, like all these companies that were nothing. And then yes, Bitcoin, oh man, maybe I would just put it all into I heard about Bitcoin in 2010, but I couldn't do nothing because I was 10.

SPEAKER_02 31:06

I still remember my brother telling me, hey, you heard about Bitcoin? Uh yeah, I heard something about it. Uh, you should buy some. Like, no, I don't want to buy something. It's not a tangible coin. Like, if it was something tangible, I'd be all in. He's like, I'm just saying, I think it's gonna be big. It was $300 a coin. Like if I would have just fucking bought a coin at one coin a month was fucking $300. I spent more than that on alcohol.

SPEAKER_04 31:35

Yeah, if you could go back in time with the knowledge you have now and then That's where the the stuff would go.

SPEAKER_02 31:41

But I going all the way back to like colonial times uh that would get tougher. Because yeah, I don't know how to I don't know how to create electricity. I don't know how to generate electricity. I know how the concept works.

SPEAKER_04 32:00

There's like there's small things that would there's like small inventions that I feel like if I could go back in time to those certain things, then like the future would be like, oh yeah, this random thing was actually invented way earlier than you would think, and it ended up being used in these major things. Like there I I believe there's things that I could go back to like 1910 or so and be walking around and be like, oh, you guys don't have this? Like this this is like just such a normal everyday part of my life that's so simple that I definitely could make.

SPEAKER_02 32:36

Although if I went back to colonial times, certain things making candles easy, um charcoal, easy, you know, you filter your own water, like that's the kind of thing that I I could do to survive, right? I could make filtered water.

SPEAKER_03 32:52

You know, have you seen the video where it was like, imagine you go back in time to like Jesus, you know, and he knows. And he's like, What the hell are you doing here, Derek? Yeah, you're not supposed to be here. Go home.

SPEAKER_04 33:13

Could you imagine how good of a dog trainer I would be in the past when they knew nothing about canine behavior? And like now we know a lot more about canine behavior, and it's even evolved so much in like the last 20 years. Could you imagine like going back and be like, oh yeah, I can get this dog kind of move whatever.

SPEAKER_03 33:38

I'm immediately making a pug. That's awful. Immediately. I'm like, that one has that one has a short nose, breed it. Keep going. Ayo, that one doesn't have enough back issues. Breed it.

SPEAKER_04 33:52

No further. Not enough back issues. Keep going.

SPEAKER_03 33:56

Yo, its stance for its legs, not wide enough.

SPEAKER_02 33:59

With all of that, any final thoughts on Greenland?

Final Verdict On Greenland

SPEAKER_03 34:03

We were talking about a movie. We were talking about a movie called Greenland. Uh, one last thing. Uh, do you think the birds survived? What do you think survived? Do you think the mosquitoes got wiped out?

SPEAKER_04 34:12

What the I hope so, but also I was so shocked to see the birds survive. But I guess I I guess all the dinosaurs didn't die either. But it was mostly just like things in the ocean that survived, right?

SPEAKER_03 34:23

I mean the flying some flying things did. I think they just kind of flew over the fire.

SPEAKER_04 34:30

But in this movie, they described that like the winds would be 900 degrees Fahrenheit. Right. Then it's like, how did anything survive?

SPEAKER_02 34:38

Right. No, uh, but I thought it was over overall, I thought it was a fun movie. I thought the very ending, uh, questionable. Nine months, definitely questionable. But um, good. All right. Uh
