I love how brief and desultory the guest intros are for every episode. Like, "come on. Everyone watching this knows who these people are and also consumes their content."
I hate this dichotomy @ 24:35 though because it's not about "believing" science. Science is all about questioning and refining and throwing away theories. It's about (or at least, this is how I see it) questioning the institutions and figures that instrumentalize the scientific method and try to mystify it and privilege it. The scientific method, just like philosophy , is open to anyone who is capable and intelligent enough to use it, or it's totally invalid. And it's not invalid. Any time I see someone has a yard sign saying "we believe science is real in this house" or whatever, my blood boils. They're just totally missing the point. Oh, yeah I Jack brought up pretty much the same point at the end. Good!
Exactly, the whole "believe in science" motto is so obviously antithetical to what science and the science method is to the point that it genuinely gives me a headache.
I went to public school in Arkansas. Pretty diverse. ~30% black, 5-7% non white, large Muslim group. Low income school comparatively to schools around us. No social cliques hardly at all. Band kids were just as popular as anyone else
I would be interested in knowing exactly which version of apple's ios included the podcast app on the home screen out of the box. I think that it was probably around 2013 or '14. To me, that has always been an under-appreciated factor in the "podcasting renaissance."
I feel like if this convo was uploaded to UA-cam we would of heard quite a deeper conversation than presented here. Damn UA-cam cops wont let us goof around with cryptids and conspiracies. Good work though, Joshua. Statebook is now my new piece of propaganda to through around the community college I work at deep in the heart of CA tech hell.
22:50 "a lot of famous twitter users are catfishing with their dated profile pictures" reminds me of when JoJoFromJerz was locked out of her twitter account because her irl face didn't match her profile picture
I hope Wagner talks about Hardcore, i saw him backstage at Sound n Fury like 5 years ago during Power Trip and i (in a parasocial way) thought that was v cool of him
Thanks for the analysis! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
I love jack but when someone tells you they saw bigfoot believing it because “their story is too detailed or unique to be a lie” is dumbfounding to me. Most of otherworld hinges on it
28:15 you be compartmentalizing big dog. Interesting to hear that your normal reaction to all this weirdness you experience through stories is exactly what the Gov is accused of: compartmentalizing information that challenges your everyday lived experience. I def lean towards disclosure and letting society collapse if we cant handle being not alone (why try to make it easy and organized for the zookeepers?), just an observation for the algo.
Yet another “i’ve heard this person’s voice for years but never seen their face” shock, Jack has big “guy with strong opinions on granola bar brands” face
I would say the vest made me assume bird watcher but now that you say granolaaaaa.....I highly doubt he eats it in bar form. I am assuming bowl and spoon only.
The conversation about the move away from edgy atheism to edgy religiousness is so refreshing to hear put into words
oh yes. we all saw those types. Nice to see it verbalised.
Listened to YBS in some of my lowest moments, thanks for everything Jack
Same. And curse you Brandon Wardell!!
It was such a huge part of my life lol. Just listened to their reunion episode and can’t believe it had already been so long since YBS ended.
The children yearn for Nick Mullen and are grateful for past guests as well 🙏🏻
Love jack but we need the mulldog
I yearn for penis because I am gay
Second
Truly the most needed guest here
And Sean Monahan
Any new Jack interview/production is so welcomed. Thanks Josh and thanks Jack.
I love how brief and desultory the guest intros are for every episode. Like, "come on. Everyone watching this knows who these people are and also consumes their content."
This podcast is actually my introduction to many of these internet characters.
I've never heard of most of them lol
I love the refusal to overexplain! The conversations speak for themselves
I'll consider this the Halloween special
Can we get a Noah Kulwin episode?
Love Jack. So happy for him that Otherworld is doing well
“There’s not a smarter guy.” - this is such an important lesson that most people don’t seem to learn.

I feel the exact same way. Covid kinda broke everyone’s brains, myself included. Also, I’m gay.

Wonderful show Joshua. Have been enjoying the conversations.
I, for one, loved all the Wardell and Wagner chapo appearances
No fkn way, we got Jack ❤
i’ve been hooked on Other World since it debuted it’s so good
It's Doomscrolling Tuesday let's gooooo!

My personal motivation for Statebook is people not being able to make 1000's of fake accounts
“Our good friend from Germany.”
Jack might be the closest specimen to a physical depiction of joseph smith I have ever seen
We love Jack Wagner
Should have seen this one coming! First learned about Joshua via the Otherworld patreon.
Jack Wagner has the personality of a golden retriever
He's happy, he's a bit goofy, but he gets the job done.
This is a good thing

I wanted to hear Josh ask him more questions about this statement, like "how did you come to this conclusion? Can you give some examples?"
Joshua “Schizophrenic Tony Soprano” Citarella
Josh is "normie" compared to what the two gifts I open every morning have seen on Beyonce's instanet 😳
lmao the transition out at 18:05 is hilarious. Josh does NOT want to talk about interviewing little kids.
He looks like Bert from Sesame Street
He looks nothing like he sounds. I've heard him on podcasts and expected him to be a twink
Instant listen
25:13. Spot on. It definitely does, and that's where a lot of the trouble happens, in the interpretation.
ANOTHER POD WITH SEAN MONAHAN WOULD BE TITS!!!
Just an idea, but you should have Nick Mullen on and call it “Coom Scroll.” Love the podcast!
I feel like if this convo was uploaded to UA-cam we would of heard quite a deeper conversation than presented here. Damn UA-cam cops wont let us goof around with cryptids and conspiracies.

Great chairs!
chart of Truth was my favourite forte to watch back then in Iceland lol
22:50 "a lot of famous twitter users are catfishing with their dated profile pictures"
reminds me of when JoJoFromJerz was locked out of her twitter account because her irl face didn't match her profile picture
I'd love to hear Recluse on to talk about parapolitics
Thanks. I came.
Josh please re-upload the chart of truth streams
so excited to doomscroll
I hope Wagner talks about Hardcore, i saw him backstage at Sound n Fury like 5 years ago during Power Trip and i (in a parasocial way) thought that was v cool of him
Love Jack
Joshua's drinking out of a plastic water bottle. ngmi
😂
Dang he hit it raw
What if you get James Altucher on here I don't know why though
Day 2 of asking for zizek
You kids get off my Robert Anton Wilson!
Wagner hive assemble
YOU BETTER GET NICK MULLEN ON BRO
Jack be nimble
i love how mid jack is. which makes him miraculous
I'VE BEEN TO DIGHTON ROCK!!!
GRINCH ALERT 🚨🚨🚨
Thanks for the analysis! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Yeah But Still forever
Oh FUN
I love this podcast. This was probably the least substantive episode so far, however.
Easily could've gone on for another hour
Take out the “like” and it’s twenty minutes long. Oy.
I love jack but when someone tells you they saw bigfoot believing it because “their story is too detailed or unique to be a lie” is dumbfounding to me. Most of otherworld hinges on it
Cringe reddit trad cath is trendy now? Nice! We're movin' up!
That shirt should not look that good, damn!
Jack looks like a damn snack!

we all have the urge for andrew callaghan
man hallucinated the Woman big-foot or he saw a skit or ad about it. Still, worthwhile discussion. Just not going to convince me.
get hamilton morris on here pls

there's something about Jack's face that I really don't like. And I don't know why. Other than that, another great ep!
I think he's piping hot 🔥
The vest that's the same colour as his eyebrows is disconcerting
I think he's piping hot
He’s a Tucker.
Simple. Forehead = uncanny valley
That's what he looks like?! Millennials got old
Millennial cringe off the charts in this ep. "most people aren't creative enough to make up a paranormal story" big oof.
