      My dog speaks to me all the time in the same manner. Most of the time he tells me that he would like a little more tasty human food please, or that he is craving attention. A significant subset of what he says though is complaints that the feline overlords just do not allow the primitive and barbaric humans to pay enough attention to their loyal canine companions. I'm actually starting to believe that I am owned by an absentee cat, even though my 'pet' is a dog. Maybe I'm owned by a syndicate of cats who have clubbed together to purchase a human, and dominate me and my dog!

      I disagree. Both Simon and Ilze giving their commentary is too much, in my opinion. I would rather Ilze laid out the topic and left the judgments and opinions to Simon. After all, the format of the show is such that Simon is going blind into it which is what makes the commentary interesting in the first place. Pre-canned commentary by Ilze is unnecessary.

Is it the way Ilze does it that you don't like? Or the topic (outlandish conspiracy theories vs. true crime/random topics)? Or the way that Simon responds to Ilze vs. Danny/Kevin/Arnaldo, etc. (i.e. he's often not on the "same page" with Ilze)? I'd just like to know a bit more about your reasoning because I'm curious.

    I agree with you once again (I'm sure that makes you sleep better) that "The Sun Also Rises" is fucking awesome, though "The Old Man & The Sea" meant more to me as a beach kinda guy. I read for enlightenment & entertainment & YES, it is enough to 'enjoy the scene" instead of analyzing everything.

    I thought the Seraphim were the angels with six wings. Two for flying, four for covering their bodies. Lilith being Adam's first wife originates apparently in Hebrew folklore, so it's one of those extracanonical concepts.
    And I love that Ilze points out that ancient-alien conspiracies assume people in ancient times had no imagination. Because I think that's what irks me the most, especially when it honestly looks like a big old case of projection. I mean, Icke and Graham Hancock and all their ilk can't even try to imagine what people in the bronze age or the stone age were actually thinking or how they might have built their megalithic structures. It's just lazy "aliens/atlanteans did it" bullshit.

Wmsome of their accomplishments simply couldn't be done without knowledge that we had no way of possessing at the time. We also know that non human entities have been visiting this planet since before there were people. It's more likely they were taught some stranded aliens version 9f Boy Scout technology, than they learned how to carve Andezite with a chicken bone chisel.

      So I found a post a few weeks ago about this... The post reads: what if people we consider collectors today were actually just dragons in disguise, building their hoards?
      "I am a dragon. And this is my hoard."
      "You... don't look like a dragon."
      "Well, hardly anyone does, these days. Times have changed, we have too. The scales and tails thing worked with the dinosaurs, but we learned quite quickly that... that wasn't going to fly with you people."
      "You were around all the way back to the dinosaurs?"
      "Well, not like... me personally. How old do you think I am?"
      "... There's no safe answer to that."
      "No."
      "So... when you say this is your hoard...?"
      "All dragons have them. Some stick to the old gold and jewels thing, but that's so cliche these days. Most of us like our hoards to be a little bit more sophisticated than 'shiny.""
      "Like what?"
      "I have known dragons to collect snowflakes from the first fall of the year over dozens of centuries. I know dragons that collect petals of flowers left on the graves of loved ones. Dragons that keep and care for soft toys and comfort items, left behind as children grow up. Dragons that guard happy memories and shards of sunlight, kept safe for rainy days. And me, I keep a sanctuary of words. A bastion of language, of poetry. Of written music and achingly beautiful prose. I am the Guardian of this monument to linguistic majesty. I collect stories of love and life and death and mourning and joy. There is nothing more beautiful in all the world, no coin or gem or sliver of starlight more fantastic than a well-told tale. A story is this world's truest treasure, and what better chest for it than a book?"
      "Wow. So these things... really mean a lot to you, huh?"
      "More than anything in this world." "So... I probably can't borrow your copies of Discworld, can I?"
      "You absolutely f***ing cannot."

    This is 100% the funist conspiracy of them all. I love the idea reptilioids are among us, eating hamburgers, working crappy jobs.

    Simon doesn't like "fantasy" but he is OK with teleporting and FTL travel.

      I've met people like him in person. As far as I could tell, it always boiled down to some kind of twisted justification along the lines of "fantasy is for kids, sci-fi is for adults". It's kind of asinine, but hey, there's no accounting for personal taste (or weird complexes affecting one's taste in entertainment media).

    it always makes me giggle when Simon can't make it even a full sentence into the intro without interrupting with his own commentary 😂

    We all know this video was sponsored by Simon's lizard overlords.

    there is also a British connection to lizard people - the Silurians and Sea Devils, from Doctor Who, bipedal beings who evolved from dinosaurs. who both want to wipe the stinking apes who took over the planet. Both monsters appeared on the show in the 1970s.

    Fun episode! The ending was a bit hyperbolic and overly dramatic, but you reigned in your writer fairly well
