That's okay to me now I was in Franklin, Louisiana, which this town has a dog food mill, so it smells like shit, and nobody's going to go anywhere.

And we had one computer set up in the school, in the high school, and we each had to take turns and go print out our favorite animal.

And some people it took them like an hour just to figure out like how to work a mouse.

But then the next day somebody was smoking crack in there so the computer room was shut down because computers bring out crack.

Welcome to the brighter side everybody.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're talking about the deep web today, everybody. So they were smoking crack in the computer lab? In the one computer lab. So just because they knew no one cared enough to go in there. Getting high on some processes. We used to smoke weed in the photo lab at our high school. Oh, good for you. You were so cool.

Yeah. I was a student council president. I was in student council as well. And you smoked weed? Fuck yeah, bro. You need me on the board. Yeah, you're a man of the people. I am. Well, everyone, we have a very special guest here today. Dominic Mora is a friend of mine from law school. his His nerd power quotient is higher than any other nerd I've ever been with. Just by the side of you, I 100% endorse that. Yeah, yeah. I get that a lot. Right? Is he not the poster child for anything? Knock it off, Ceddy. No, no, it's fine. It's fine. My Duchess of Dragons Group says the same thing all this time. Could I just talk like this the entire time? Absolutely. No, that hurts my throat. It's great. It's good to have you. Sam, it's good to see you again. Oh, man, it's so good to be back, guys. Yes, we missed you so much. So, now, I barely understand the Internet as it is. What is the Deep Web? Is it like a... Well, the Deep Web is a separate network built on top of the Internet, right? Oh, so it's on top. It's not below. No, no. Sexy. Yeah, I mean, you could call it the Deep Web, the Dark Web. I don't know. There's lots of different terms for it, but specifically... Explain on top of the Internet. That makes no fucking sense to me. If the Internet is infinite and lives everywhere, like, how are you on top of it? So, well, that's a good question. So the idea behind the Internet is this exchange of packets in a very... Packets of information in a very specific and controlled manner right um so the internet protocol uh allows computers to interact with each other

no matter what medium they do it in right you ever notice that your cell phone doesn't have like a

little ethernet cable coming out of it yeah you know you used to have a dial-up, and if you still actually do, you can use a phone line instead of an Ethernet line.

So the robots are all coming together against us.

You can talk to, exactly, you can talk to the Internet in any way you want.

Internet!

Internet Protocol.

Where I'm fucking you, man?

Speak to me.

You can do it by carrier pigeon if you could find an internet service provider that would still take that.

It just fucking disappears.

And the internet is like a space wire thing, right?

Yeah.

One very long wire that stretches all the way into space.
