Episode 250 - Project Serpo and the Grey Aliens

[@thelaughingrouge]

Alex: "Jesse's house is by the water..." Me a LONG time Fan of Jesse: "You could say he lives... Right by da beach BOOOOOOOYYYYY!!!"

[@strawmanfallacy]

"LUBE UP YOUR MENGELE BRAND TRACTOR WITH... SERPO OIL!" Jesus Christ guys I was taking a bite of salad and laughed so hard I blew lettuce and cheese THROUGH MY NOSE. That was an MST3K tier interjection. My God.... Hands down the funniest thing I've heard on this show.

I miss the spinning pyramid

[@uncertainultradian]

Right! The cool spinning pyramid is my favourite part.

[@ChilluminatiPod]

We will too! KZbin now directly connects to our RSS Feed so we no longer need to render and upload a separate video file just for KZbin, additionally we now can also accurately look at our statistics with KZbin fully included. It’s little give and take unfortunately!

[@softiebun9660]

I guess a compromise could be a revamp on this 2D chilluminati pic... But ofc I don't know if you can use a different one from the RSS feed. This logo is awesome and the "Chilluminati" text at the top invokea the retro horror vibe for sure. However it does look somewhat low-res on KZbin, likely due to the 'CRT' design. This doesn't bother me too much but I understand how it can be seen as a downgrade.

[@ChilluminatiPod]

@@softiebun9660yeah it automatically just uses the image the rss feed uses

[@majadooma]

​@ChilluminatiPod honestly if you released or linked it as a screen saver/wallpaper that would probably make all the fans of the spinny pyramid happy lol.

[@microsoftman5]

Congrats on 250 episodes! Love this podcast especially on those rare night time drives 😎

[@dalibar]

This might be one of the best intros ever. Cinnamon has worked at repelling ants for me. For a more serious infestation, my friend has used diatomaceous earth for a environmentally friendly cat safe method.

[@analoren4745]

Also great for bedbugs

[@JamFMc2011]

Why have we regressed to 2D eye of Providence from 3D version?

[@MaxdamageAF]

i miss the spinny boi :c

[@analoren4745]

Yoooo excited for the video game boy next week! He said Arin saw a UFO???

[@MtgVeteran]

links awakening episode 17

[@shindalah1794]

If the military sleeping bags are anything like the ones I got issued, they are god awful 😂 also twice as many socks and underwear checks out lol. All they are missing is a 50 gallon drum of iburprofen.

[@Vrikrar]

The fan fiction episodes are good ONLY because Mathas is good at writing, reading, and delivering them.

[@madmonkee6757]

An extra sun wouldn't necessarily be a problem for our plants. Temperature would be a problem, but doubling the amount of sunlight would help the plants grow (as long as it's not enough light to destroy the chlorophyl). Just like we have plants on earth that need full sun, partial sun, and full shade, there would be a place on Serpo to grow most earth plants. As for temperature, if it's cool enough for human beings to live, it's cool enough for our plants.

[@pitn6301]

Ebe1 died after 5 years, but he learn people how to comunicate with serpo

[@MtgVeteran]

The ufo Arin saw was on the 14 freeway heading towards palmdale, super stoked for the episode

[@williammccallum4760]

Please bring back the "spinny boi"

[@pitn6301]

This story missing many important parts. First, they landed with 2 crafts who was took them to the mothership who was more than huge. They was in contact witu ebens during a travel but mostly they ask them to not go and to sleep inside some kind glas capsule.Once they took them out in walk to the main drive room. They was walk 20 minuts thry some tunnels till they arive. Imagine size of that ship. One of 12 was died during a travel from loungs emboly..

[@mr.nuggets2302]

Arin Hanson next week!! Game Grumps and Beard Bros are my daily watches, cant wait for that

[@MaxdamageAF]

what happened to the spinny boi graphic :c?

[@edharris6452]

I never thought that ZR was the home of the abducting Greys. The ZRs apparently have a gray complexion but are otherwise humanlike in their psychology and expression. The Greys are said to be from Orion and more insectlike and imppassionate than the Serpo beings.

[@G4dd3n]

I know faces in the thumbnail makes more people click on the video, but I don't really think they, or the new video background our working.

[@ChilluminatiPod]

Totally understand sudden changes can be jarring! And I genuinely enjoy being able to peel back the curtain for folk who might not know the specifics but are interested in knowing a bit more. The still image we have, we totally get we loved the pyramid too, however KZbin now directly connects to the RSS Feed of the podcast, so when it goes live on podcast platforms it goes live here on KZbin simultaneously, which not only makes things more streamlined, but is a bonus for the algorithm since this is listed as podcast. Prior it was a totally separate edit, render, upload etc. So it’s give and take and it’s not perfect. As for the thumbnail, that part is just an unfortunate reality of the platform now, and disappointingly yet predictably the change was instantly beneficial. Last week was up 40% compared to videos up for an equal amount of time in the past 90 days (and continues to hold), and this week is right behind that at a little over 30% beating out every other upload we’ve had in the past 90days. KZbin is an important platform for us which is why we’re making these changes but it’s also the lowest in listenership, doubling the importance of changing things to appease the algorithm. Should numbers change and there’s a decline, you can be assured we’ll adjust as needed to stay on top of KZbin’s requirements for better or worse. We appreciate the feedback though and agree, hopefully this clarifies and helps it not feel like we’re making decisions in a vacuum ❤

[@PlayLaughLogan]

​@@ChilluminatiPod KZbin is probably the lowest listenership because there's no benefit to watching it on here. You need to give people a reason to watch on YT rather than other feeds. That's why most big podcasts include webcams and actual videos on video feeds instead of a still image.

[@Vrikrar]

Does Jesse think tomatoes need to sleep at night? As long as they aren't burning, the plants should be fine, since the lighting is described as a weird twilight, the extra light probably helps balance out the fact it's dimmer. And as for radiation, i have to assume super aliens capable of space travel have access to something at least as good as basic earth human radiation shielding.

[@dreamlandnightmare]

Stars wouldn't blur because they are so far away. Even at the speed of light, you wouldn't reach most for thousands of years.

[@Invalidationcoded]

I just want to comment that that's not what I heard about Fire In The Sky and its accuracy to Travis Walton's own account. I haven't seen the film myself but from what I HAVE seen and heard, it's like they leaned into abduction horror tropes whereas Travis himself described things as bizarre but not threatening. Or at least this is what I've gathered from other channels covering this and things I've read/seen about Travis behind the scenes.

[@jimjam7928]

Damn... this is not a dig against Mathas, but this topic was so threadbare that even Jesse was being nice about not questioning it too much. Honestly thank goodness you guys do other topics like true crime, because more often than not the extra-terrestrial stories just leave me feeling bemused.

[@prairietan]

My heart 💓!

[@sophiehanson8100]

This podcast is why i have 2 phones haha

[@madmonkee6757]

You've confused "extrapolate" with "elaborate." They're very different words.

[@patu8010]

Ooh, hyped for next week's guest. I think I've heard him tell the ufo story before.

[@ElCactus7567]

The Why Files did a video on this, went more in-depth and with visuals.

[@TherealThor420]

And less side tracking.

[@EmiEvergiven]

You know I love y'all to death but respectfully and with peace and love y'all charging way too much for bonus episodes. Would love to see you reevaluate your pay model, you could reach way more people and make just as much.

[@ChilluminatiPod]

Bonus episodes are all eventually free over time, all of our content barring things like art, are free eventually (Minisode Comp 35 a couple weeks ago for example)! Patreon is for those who want to go above and beyond and get some neat timed exclusives. Definitely understand not everybody can afford it hence it coming out free eventually, but I’ll pass along the feedback regardless! 🤙

[@ChristmasCrustacean1]

glad to be back on the aliens

[@devarient]

used to listen to this with my mum.... shes still around but ive out grown her abuse

[@miguelnewmexico8641]

save it for your therapist dude.

[@madmonkee6757]

Honestly, I don't think we'd be as far along without war. War is a big driver of technology.

[@bugajification]

Cristal night XD wtf? Like Kristallnacht famous jewish pogrom in prewar nazi germany?

[@Vrikrar]

No no, this was crystal knight, with a k.

[@grindcoreninja6527]

Since I'm early, I want to ask, Mathis are you a patron of "Where Did the Road Go"? Because it's how I found this show like a year ago. Edit: grammar, sorry, pretty high.

[@ChilluminatiPod]

He is not!

[@grindcoreninja6527]

@@ChilluminatiPod I want to believe you guys, but, I also listen to the podcast. Patron confirmed.

I had patreon until alex started the stupid title/numbering system, after that, his stories are really not worth the time.

[@Guitarded]

Guys. I can't watch your videos if they're guna burn an image in my screen. Make your logo move please or the TV viewers can't watch. Last time I had a pyramid in my TV for months. . . .
