Great Lakes

And it's, it's freezing cold.

It's Detroit in winter, right? You can get the sort of wind off the Great Lakes.

They're both wrapped up in huge blankets, and he's like, "What's wrong?" And she's like, "Well, you know, I have a kind of dissociative relationship with my body sometimes." Um, but-

[laughs]

The Gulf of Mexico's gonna go all the way up there.

But if you look at the maps that the climate scientists have put out, and if you look at what will happen if all of the, uh, ice melts, if all the, all the ice melts, you will see a map showing the Gulf of Mexico goes all the way up, almost all the way to the Great Lakes.

Uh, and as it goes up, it forms a V.

As it goes further up, it gets closer and closer in because of course the land is higher and higher there.

Jump gates, portals, jump rooms, looking glass technology.

"Underneath the Great Lakes base, there is an entire underground area.

The tunnel is what Michael Relf calls it.

The base I'm to be assigned to is the Mars base.

Then you make the assumption that smart people will figure this out as we go there, and this hasn't happened yet, but this is where this could accelerate or snowball.

Keith, those are the same people who say we shouldn't sell them oil or electricity, but we receive the lion's share of our refined oil product [laughs] from underneath the Great Lakes, and Quebec is buying electricity from New York and Vermont and all the other places.

I mean, those are the same idiots who say we should sell the treasury.

Those are not...

In the 17th century, France was building a colonial empire in North America.

French explorers, missionaries, soldiers, merchants, and settlers were moving into the vast territory that stretched along the Saint Lawrence River, through the Great Lakes, and down towards the Mississippi.

In 1608, Samuel de Champlain established a settlement at Quebec, and from there, the French presence in North America gradually expanded, but there were growing pains.

From slow population growth to war with England and the First Nations, New France struggled to find its footing.

And we should probably get the listeners out of the, like, what the fuck are they talking about?

Well, we had another fatality in the Great Lakes out on Lake Michigan over the weekend.

Yeah, that is what we're talking about.

And

Yes.

I just

had a guy email me just the other day saying, hey, I want to come to the Great Lakes.

I want to learn some shipwreck diving.

So you could go there, go and catch a show, for example, and then come back home or sleep over one night and then come back home.

And then if you're into the wine, of course, Ontario has amazing wine because sort of like in the same plane, I think, is the Great Lakes.

Sorry, the Finger Lakes.

So we have a few amazing wine regions.

and when electricity came they just replaced the steam engine with like with an electrical engine and he's like that that's not how it ended up because it's like okay you can't put a steam engine anywhere but you can put an electric motor anywhere pretty much so when they first got electricity it was like okay we're not going to change the floor plan we're just going to replace the steam engine with the electric engine or the motor and What ended up happening was that that ability to put a motor and pretty much anything that you could plug into an outlet ruined the ice trade.

So there used to be this job where people from cold climates in the Great Lakes or wherever would just go out on a frozen lake, chop it up and put it on a train and ship it to places that were warmer.

If

anybody has a daughter or a kid who likes Disney princess movies, you've seen this in the opening act of Frozen, the first movie.

I had some very cold filming there, negative 20 type stuff, but...

In Houghton, Michigan, which is on the northern peninsula on the Great Lakes, that was like...

I believe when we were there, it was like negative 30 or negative 35 Fahrenheit, which is where Celsius and Fahrenheit even meet.

And I remember... telling, like, Ian Reuter and Nathan Yant, I was like, dude, this is too cold.
