“… a lot of those ports became connected to Alexandria, and Alexandria became the center of trading across the Mediterranean and out into the Indian Ocean. So they're filthy, filthy rich. So essentially, the Ptolemies take all this money and they start these two primary projects. One, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, if you guys are familiar with this. The second one, the Library of Alexandria. It's going to be the center of knowledge of all of the ancient world. And there were other projects that they started but those are the two primary ones I feel like there one right now that I just blanking …”
“… a lot of stuff going on down in the south ptolemies are still building temples down there but mainly the heart of of egypt is at alexandria and alexandria is a really really advantageous place because when alexander took over so much of of this world a lot of those ports became connected to Alexandria, and Alexandria became the center of trading across the Mediterranean and out into the Indian Ocean. So they're filthy, filthy rich. So essentially, the Ptolemies take all this money and they start these two primary projects. One, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, if you guys are familiar with this. The second one, the Library of Alexandria. It's going to be the center of knowledge of all of the ancient world. And there were other projects that they started but those are the two primary ones I feel like there one right now that I just blanking out on Now what really interesting here is Ptolemy gathers his architects probably native Egyptian architects and we have a lot of evidence that scholars in the Library of Alexandria were going and studying the pyramids and studying the obelisk They were studying ancient Egypt during ancient Egypt, right? And so the Greek Alexandrian scholars are …”

In this segment, the hosts hilariously dissect how Ptolemy used massive public projects like the Lighthouse and Library of Alexandria to win over the people, comparing it to modern political tactics. The absurdity of rulers needing to keep their citizens happy to avoid revolts leads to some entertaining banter about historical beef and the lengths people will go to stay in power.
“… here. So I was making iTunes money, but I couldn't afford to just get a hotel and all that stuff. So going back and forth, he introduced me to Jay Frank. I signed a management deal with Jay, but I'm still going down to see just to work on music and stuff because he wants to. He's hungry. Anyway, he signs me to a deal, and it's 50-50. But I was just so excited to get signed that I couldn't wait. I didn't have anybody. I didn't have my mom. I didn't have my dad on my side. So I just signed a 50-50 deal.

“… or he introduces me to ****. So I'm sleeping in my car and all kinds of stuff just to work with this guy. Where? Where? In Atlanta. So you're down there. Yeah. I'm sleeping in my Honda. I'm driving all the way down there. I'm living in an apartment up here. So I was making iTunes money, but I couldn't afford to just get a hotel and all that stuff.

Kane Brown hilariously recounts how he signed a disastrous 50-50 deal that cost him tens of millions. The absurdity peaks when he explains how he went viral—only for the label to suddenly want him after saying no. His candidness about the music industry’s pitfalls makes this segment both entertaining and relatable.
“… whatever it is. I think it's a very important mission because you've got a Harvard scientist who rents a boat, drags a magnet across the Pacific Ocean. That's exciting. It's very exciting. That's what makes science fun. You don't even need to be right. You just need to get people excited about it. By the way, this was my first expedition. And there were lots of hurdles along the way. I had to get $1.5 million to fund it. I got it. And then I had to bring a team of experts, people that know how to build a sled covered with magnets, put it on the ocean floor. Then I had to worry about whether …”
“… all kinds of arguments what you found is human made well do you want to tell the story about that because look no matter i followed the story that spherules and the seismic data i followed all of that even if it turns out that that it's not extra solar, whatever it is.

Then I had to worry about whether we bring back anything, you know, because... Did you bring your daughter on this adventure? No. Did you bring your daughter? No. Okay. I mean, yeah, she was young. Both of them were young. I have two daughters. Yeah, but so what's that like on the boat? Is the crew excited? I slept on the sofa in the conference room because I was full-time engaged. …”

“… of tectonic plates, eating sediment and processing nutrients so slowly that its metabolism is barely distinguishable from geology. Time in the deep ocean isn't measured in days or weeks but in decades and centuries. That sea cucumber you saw earlier? Based on growth rate studies it might be 100 years old.

“… across the sediment beneath you, and based on the growth rings in its segments, scientists estimate this individual is somewhere between 40 and 60 years old. It's been alive since the Kennedy administration, possibly, moving at roughly the speed of tectonic plates, eating sediment and processing nutrients so slowly that its metabolism is barely distinguishable from geology. Time in the deep ocean isn't measured in days or weeks but in decades and centuries. That sea cucumber you saw earlier? Based on growth rate studies it might be 100 years old.

Grenadier fish hovers near the sea floor, essentially doing nothing. It's been doing nothing for the past three days. Not because it's lazy, but because with a metabolic rate this low, doing nothing is its default state It will wait here until something edible comes within range then it will strike with movement so slow you could probably dodge it if you were paying attention The strike will consume more calories than the fish has burned in the past week, which is why it won't …”

“… to you. Because nobody needs to do this alone. and I have felt so alone in this for so long. And I don't want anybody else to have to do it alone.

“This is why I wanted to talk to you. Because nobody needs to do this alone. and I have felt so alone in this for so long. And I don't want anybody else to have to do it alone.

This loneliness Ocean talked about, it's heartbreakingly common among survivors. and over time there's a growing disbelief that the abuser was able to get away with horrible acts in plain sight you know on reflection there were so many little things right like going to play uh racquetball and showering naked with a student like he took us to a nude beach when we were in you know one year right that's not actually really okay having conversations about sex with students i have memories of yeah being like in a shower at a camp with like several boys and him and i think he was like pretending like he was gonna drop a quarter down somebody's butt crack like it was …”

“… common. You know, we have several water worlds in our in our solar system, mostly most of them are frozen moons, icy surfaces. But there's oceans underneath. Right. So you can either you can either plan to colonize. You can either just plan to stay in your spaceships. Right. We're just going to live in our spaceships. That's probably the easiest thing to do. Right. Or to colonize airless worlds like the moon, which is no different than staying in your spaceship. But then the other option is to live on a planet. And if you want to live on a planet to access its resources, you're either …”
“… is hard. It's going to be hard for anybody. But but bringing everything you need to build up a base or some kind of settlement is is going to be extra difficult. So you see, you really have have a few options and water worlds we now know are relatively common. You know, we have several water worlds in our in our solar system, mostly most of them are frozen moons, icy surfaces. But there's oceans underneath. Right. So you can either you can either plan to colonize. You can either just plan to stay in your spaceships. Right. We're just going to live in our spaceships. That's probably the easiest thing to do. Right. Or to colonize airless worlds like the moon, which is no different than staying in your spaceship. But then the other option is to live on a planet. And if you want to live on a planet to access its resources, you're either going to go with an airless world and stay in your spaceship or the next most reasonable choice for it could be to go to water. Yeah. And so it's also evidence, as you said, of this kind of Goldilocks temperature zone. I think water is specifically unique as well, because the way that hydrogen and oxygen bond in an H2O molecule is a perfect crystal …”

The idea of UFO bases hidden in our oceans is gaining traction, with claims of five hotspots around the world. Water worlds offer a stable environment for advanced civilizations, making them ideal for hiding and resource extraction. This theory suggests that if extraterrestrial beings exist, they might prefer to operate beneath the waves rather than in the unpredictable atmosphere.
“… nothing else in sight and you're just floating along for hours and hours a day at a time. I just, I loved that. We're out there in the middle of the ocean. Something about that feeling, like I don't think I'll get anywhere else. So. Because really, yeah, you got to get on a boat to get out in the middle of the ocean. Yeah. So it's got to be a big boat. So 2027, which there were a ton of people because you could sign up for next year's cruise on the boat. Like they had a meeting about it. And then they got like a hat that said 2027.

“… thought I would enjoy it. Yeah. I just, I mean, the whole experience was listeners. That part's awesome. But the like, moments where you're just out on your balcony or you're out on the deck and you're looking out into just the horizon and water and nothing else in sight and you're just floating along for hours and hours a day at a time. I just, I loved that. We're out there in the middle of the ocean. Something about that feeling, like I don't think I'll get anywhere else. So.

I'm just saying, well, what made me think of it just now again, because yeah, maybe we did talk about it, is that that's probably the next time I'll get that experience because I'm probably not going to go out, be at sea again.

Ridealong summary
Bradley Cooper is set to star in and direct a new Ocean's 11 prequel, focusing on Danny Ocean's father, which could delve into the artistry of heists. This project comes after Cooper's recent ambitious films, and while there's excitement about his vision, concerns arise over the absence of original director Steven Soderbergh in future Ocean's films. With two Ocean's movies potentially releasing in quick succession, it raises questions about the direction of the franchise.
