The first time in human history that we laid eyes on a black hole,

a picture, well they combined a bunch of pictures, well they used radio imagery, well they captured slivers of light and used algorithms to weave together an image of a black fucking hole.

A singularity. Do you remember the black hole movie? If you don't, it's probably because you are younger than me, but I remember the black hole movie.

I remember how it impacted me in the most serious way, not just because there was a weird robot with that blender thing that shot out of his chest and ripped that guy's heart out, blended people up, but also because it was a fucking black hole.

It was a movie about a black hole. And for a young D-trustle, there were a couple of things that were agony for my brain.

Number one, the realization that I would never lay eyes on a living dinosaur. I don't think at the time we knew that birds were sort of evolved dinosaurs. And certainly we didn't know that some of our politicians could transform into reptilians.

We just knew there was a thing called the Brontosaurus and a meteor hit and you're never going to see the fucking Brontosaurus except in those books with pictures of the Vlossir raptors perched on their back ripping the Brontosaurus flesh off as though it were fucking jerky.

Do you remember those, the hyper violent dinosaur pictures when you were a kid? I don't even know if they still do the hyper violent dinosaur pictures or maybe I just ended up with like a fucked up book of dinosaurs.

But the book I had it was definitely not tip-toeing around the fact that life or a dinosaur, if you are Brontosaurus, basically meant at some point a bunch of Vlossir raptors were going to jump on your back and slowly rip big steak chunks out of your back while you bailfully looked at them in this sad way, not even fighting back up to your fucking knees and primordial swamp water.

And then it would like slowly dawn on you that you're never going to see that you're never going to get to witness that you're never going to see a terror decked out you're never going to get to see the mighty Tyrianosaurus Rex and then you find out about a black hole this infinitely deep hyper compressed magical potentially a magical gateway to another realm that was somewhere in the world.

But you were only going to look at pictures of it and so Disney releases the black hole movie. I still remember the soundtrack to the black hole movie. It goes.

I'll see if I can find it. I used to have this out. I just sit and stare at it and wish I was in a black hole. I am a whole black. I'm smoking stars like cracker. You will never reach me. You will never bleach me. And if you do, you're asking your shoes will be black and use a bottle. I spit get a five-inch bitch.

I'm fucking science facts. I'm fucking science fiction. I shit on your physics white my ass with your religion. Out with Einstein said God don't play dice but I watched God and Jesus run a train on Einstein's watch.

I came. Well, who would have thought that black holes would be Game of Thrones fans? Well, we've got a very special podcast for you today with one of my favorite creative
