บทถอดความฉบับเต็มของ #30: Rationalizing Time — Calendar Conspiracies Explained

that's not what we're talking about today. 00:04:51.935 --> 00:04:52.295 So. 00:04:55.007 --> 00:04:59.687 The Roman Empire came along and decided that they needed to make their own calendar. 00:05:00.918 --> 00:05:06.947 However, it was only, this is my favorite part of this. 00:05:07.038 --> 00:05:15.588 The original Roman calendar was only 10 months, so 304 days, meaning that the other 61 days were just dead space. 00:05:16.608 --> 00:05:18.798 Like they still existed, but they weren't on any kind. 00:05:18.798 --> 00:05:20.372 It was just like no man's land. 00:05:21.572 --> 00:05:24.052 Mm. Like free day, I guess. 00:05:24.052 --> 00:05:24.903 Like free dress day. 00:05:25.353 --> 00:05:25.622 Yeah. 00:05:26.012 --> 00:05:28.052 Was everyone on vacation during those days? 00:05:28.083 --> 00:05:28.382 Right. 00:05:28.382 --> 00:05:31.173 You know, was it just kind of the prescribed time of vacation? 00:05:31.202 --> 00:05:32.552 'cause it doesn't count, they're just 00:05:32.583 --> 00:05:32.882 Yeah. 00:05:32.913 --> 00:05:33.663 Free days. 00:05:33.663 --> 00:05:34.442 It's just nothing. 00:05:34.533 --> 00:05:35.103 Nothing days. 00:05:35.132 --> 00:05:35.432 Yeah. 00:05:35.942 --> 00:05:36.213 Okay. 00:05:36.843 --> 00:05:43.173 So around 700 bc the Roman emperor that I can't pronounce, added January and February to the end of the year. 00:05:43.562 --> 00:05:43.742 Okay. 00:05:43.742 --> 00:05:49.833 And so February was at the end of the year, which is why it only had 28 days. 00:05:50.403 --> 00:05:55.262 Because fuck February, I guess like it was just an afterthought. 00:05:57.723 --> 00:06:05.583 And February, I wrote this down that it was considered unlucky, an unlucky time, and I don't remember why. 00:06:05.762 --> 00:06:06.663 So sorry. 00:06:07.562 --> 00:06:09.512 Unlike Katusha, I do not cite my sources. 00:06:10.773 --> 00:06:11.973 We're just full of chaos here. 00:06:12.483 --> 00:06:18.572 So by first century BC, the Roman calendar was a hot mess and. 00:06:19.502 --> 00:06:24.062 Starting to, the confusion per usual was political fuckery. 00:06:24.843 --> 00:06:25.353 of course. 00:06:26.762 --> 00:06:30.589 The Pontifex Maximus and the College of Pontiffs. 00:06:31.262 --> 00:06:34.473 But this is first century bc, so not Ponts like the Pope yet. 00:06:34.983 --> 00:06:39.182 We'll get to the Pope had the authority to alter the calendar. 00:06:39.872 --> 00:06:40.742 They sometimes did. 00:06:40.742 --> 00:06:45.692 So to reduce or extend the term of a particular magistrate or other public official 00:06:47.673 --> 00:06:48.603 Political fuckery. 00:06:48.603 --> 00:06:48.783 Yeah. 00:06:50.012 --> 00:06:56.552 So Julius Caesar initiated a reform that resulted in the establishment of the Julian Calendar. 00:06:58.052 --> 00:07:03.362 So the months, everybody, I feel like we've all heard that. 00:07:03.362 --> 00:07:05.132 Like Julius and Augustus. 00:07:05.132 --> 00:07:05.223 Yes. 00:07:06.557 --> 00:07:07.458 July and

August. 00:07:07.817 --> 00:07:13.728 Well, those were originally Quintiles and sex Tillis, meaning fifth and six months. 00:07:14.057 --> 00:07:14.538 Okay, 00:07:14.653 --> 00:07:17.778 so Whoopty do, and then of course, September through December. 00:07:17.778 --> 00:07:25.338 Roman numerals, 7, 8, 9, and 10 because they were originally like July through December was originally 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. 00:07:26.658 --> 00:07:31.757 But then they added January and February, so it got all messed up. 00:07:33.271 --> 00:07:33.721 Okay. 00:07:33.872 --> 00:07:36.901 Back to my copious notes. 00:07:36.932 --> 00:07:38.012 I lost my place. 00:07:41.041 --> 00:07:45.411 So Julius Caesar made January the start of the new year. 00:07:46.802 --> 00:07:47.072 Okay. 00:07:49.112 --> 00:07:50.966 Um, not clear why. 00:07:53.177 --> 00:08:00.706 This is just like with the Titanic, every which way you turn, you can find different answers for different ques. 00:08:00.737 --> 00:08:01.817 Like for the same question. 00:08:01.817 --> 00:08:03.466 It's bonkers, it's historical. 00:08:03.466 --> 00:08:05.297 We're talking thousands of years ago. 00:08:05.656 --> 00:08:06.947 Nobody really knows. 00:08:07.637 --> 00:08:10.127 But these are like the generally accepted facts that I have found. 00:08:11.896 --> 00:08:20.687 So by 1582, the Julian calendar was cumulatively off time because. 00:08:22.201 --> 00:08:26.312 The earth rotates around the sun. 00:08:27.271 --> 00:08:33.211 Every 365.2422 days. 00:08:35.461 --> 00:08:46.142 Okay, so then at this point they're off by like 15 days, and that's a problem when you want Easter. 00:08:46.562 --> 00:08:51.121 The most important holiday of the Catholic church to fall on this one day. 00:08:51.121 --> 00:08:52.081 And I meant to look it up. 00:08:52.111 --> 00:09:01.532 It's in my brain somewhere of how they, to this day calculate when Easter is, and it has to do with the moon, but I don't remember enough to like regurgitate it back. 00:09:01.562 --> 00:09:08.611 So Pope Gregory the 13th we're in 1582, now came up with the Gregorian calendar. 00:09:08.792 --> 00:09:14.672 I would love to go back in time to see if he was like, yo, my name is Pope Gregory and we're gonna call it the Gregorian calendar. 00:09:15.091 --> 00:09:17.131 Or if that's just what it became known as. 00:09:17.402 --> 00:09:18.902 'cause I could see it going either way. 00:09:21.182 --> 00:09:27.542 So he made January one, the official start of the new year and declared it for all Catholic countries. 00:09:27.542 --> 00:09:30.481 So Spain, Italy, France, all went, yep. 00:09:30.542 --> 00:09:31.111 Okay. 00:09:31.922 --> 00:09:32.522 Copy that. 00:09:34.711 --> 00:09:43.461 Britain the Americas did not follow suit until much later, like 17 hundreds. 00:09:45.432 --> 00:10:07.602 So by, well, I saw something that said in 1582 in order to SR get the Gregorian calendar back on track, it went from October 4th, 1582, and then the very next day was October 15th, 1582. 00:10:07.602 --> 00:10:10.932 Oh, And then by 1752. 00:10:11.653 --> 00:10:29.893 When England and American colonies decided to get on board with this new calendar, the discrepancy between a solar year and the Julian Calendar had grown by even more so that the calendar used in England and its colonies was 11 days out of sync. 00:10:30.283 --> 00:10:31.482 So they did the same thing. 00:10:31.873 --> 00:10:32.232 Okay, 00:10:32.863 --> 00:10:38.442 so England and America just dropped 11 days for September of 1752. 00:10:39.102 --> 00:10:43.212 It's also unclear if the year of 1750 ever even happened in America. 00:10:45.258 --> 00:10:48.643 Oh, and this is according to like the Connecticut State Library. 00:10:49.993 --> 00:10:59.592 So China adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1912, but continues to obviously use its lunar calendar for like its zodiac things. 00:10:59.597 --> 00:10:59.697 Okay. 00:11:00.432 --> 00:11:01.363 Religious purposes. 00:11:01.363 --> 00:11:05.173 A lot of countries still use their own lunar calendars for religious purposes. 00:11:05.773 --> 00:11:12.942 Russia switched to the Gregorian calendar in 1918 and Greece in 1923. 00:11:13.722 --> 00:11:14.712 That kind of blew my mind. 00:11:15.403 --> 00:11:18.763 So they were all just on scattered time, uhhuh frames and Wow. 00:11:18.822 --> 00:11:19.092 Yeah. 00:11:19.092 --> 00:11:19.842 In the in between. 00:11:19.932 --> 00:11:20.263 Yeah. 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:27.538 the Gregorian calendar really only differs from the Julian year in like its implementation of leap days, and that is so convoluted. 00:11:28.557 --> 00:11:29.068 Barf. 00:11:29.068 --> 00:11:29.938 We're not going there. 00:11:30.578 --> 00:11:50.682 So before the Gregorian reform, many civilizations followed their own lunar based calendars with 13 months of 28 days each totaling 364 days with one day out of time or a year day, or there were lots of names for it, they usually used that day as a time for reflection and renewal. 00:11:50.863 --> 00:11:51.163 Okay. 00:11:52.732 --> 00:11:55.317 This system obviously wasn't just mathematical, it was. 00:11:55.972 --> 00:11:58.852 It followed natural patterns. 00:11:58.852 --> 00:12:06.143 And again, I'm not trying to get woowoo, it's just the world that they knew and it made sense to them. 00:12:07.186 --> 00:12:08.475 And wait, which calendar was this? 00:12:08.475 --> 00:12:09.255 The 13 month 00:12:09.285 --> 00:12:09.375 this? 00:12:09.375 --> 00:12:10.696 Yeah, the 13 month calendar. 00:12:10.696 --> 00:12:12.916 It's uniform, it's predictable. 00:12:12.916 --> 00:12:13.846 Everything's 28 days. 00:12:13.905 --> 00:12:15.375 Everything's 28 days. 00:12:15.885 --> 00:12:21.706 The month starts on the first on a Sunday, and you know, it's just cut and dried. 00:12:21.706 --> 00:12:22.605 It's four weeks. 00:12:23.416 --> 00:12:23.716 Boom. 00:12:23.895 --> 00:12:24.285 Done. 00:12:24.436 --> 00:12:24.615 Okay. 00:12:24.645 --> 00:12:25.139 Easy

peasy. 00:12:26.625 --> 00:12:29.745 Uh, fun fact, Ethiopia still operates on a 13 month system. 00:12:31.456 --> 00:12:32.836 What's their last month called? 00:12:33.166 --> 00:12:34.005 Oh, I didn't even look. 00:12:34.125 --> 00:12:38.716 I wonder if it's just a free month and like, this is the month of the wild and free. 00:12:38.716 --> 00:12:39.946 I mean, what are you gonna call it? 00:12:40.306 --> 00:12:40.936 Right? 00:12:41.895 --> 00:12:42.076 it up. 00:12:42.076 --> 00:12:49.635 So the word month itself is related to the moon, and it originally measured how long it took for the moon to complete a cycle around the earth. 00:12:49.905 --> 00:12:51.225 So they come from the same route. 00:12:53.086 --> 00:13:08.446 Anyway, so back in the day when the new year, there was not like New Year's Day, but when the new year was celebrated at the end of March, typically the last week of March. 00:13:10.635 --> 00:13:17.895 They had mostly in France, a festival, a week long festival called The Feast of Fools. 00:13:19.336 --> 00:13:27.196 Hey everyone, if you've seen Hunchback of Notre Dame, the you would know that they have the Feast of Fools in 00:13:27.196 --> 00:13:27.735 Paris. 00:13:28.005 --> 00:13:28.485 Okay. 00:13:29.446 --> 00:13:36.645 And it sounds like Mardi Gras plus, you know, Renaissance Fair, like a week of just drunken nonsense. 00:13:36.706 --> 00:13:37.125 Yes. 00:13:37.755 --> 00:13:45.466 And so once they implemented the Gregorian calendar in, like I said, mostly France, it's not like they had CNN. 00:13:46.530 --> 00:13:50.431 Breaking news to tell'em that that wasn't the new year anymore. 00:13:50.910 --> 00:13:54.465 And so they started becoming known as the April Fools. 00:13:55.558 --> 00:14:00.688 Oh, the people who were still celebrating the New year in the spring. 00:14:00.958 --> 00:14:01.349 Okay. 00:14:02.969 --> 00:14:05.158 Because the Feast of Fools rolled into April. 00:14:07.649 --> 00:14:10.828 So that's all the history things. 00:14:10.859 --> 00:14:12.928 Now is this just. 00:14:13.558 --> 00:14:22.948 Does it just make good and logical sense that the world have a uniform way to keep track of time? 00:14:23.908 --> 00:14:30.239 Or was it a way to give a centralized institution more control? 00:14:32.874 --> 00:14:33.793 I'm gonna say I'm Catholic. 00:14:33.793 --> 00:14:34.313 You're Catholic. 00:14:34.313 --> 00:14:38.818 We both love and appreciate our faith, but we both have no. 00:14:39.778 --> 00:14:43.769 Illusions as to the perfectness of the humans running the church. 00:14:43.769 --> 00:14:44.009 Sure. 00:14:44.188 --> 00:14:56.999 And back in the day, I mean, there's been a lot of corrupt nonsense that has happened, so I can definitely question and criticize that, of course, with leaving my faith intact. 00:14:56.999 --> 00:15:07.889 So the Catholic church definitely benefited from dictating time itself, so moving away from natural rhythms and timekeeping. 00:15:08.323 --> 00:15:16.754 Helps keep people def dependent on artificial schedules and disconnected from their own connection to nature and the wisdom that comes with that. 00:15:19.754 --> 00:15:32.144 By reforming the calendar, the church demonstrated its scientific capability and authority cementing its role in setting the standard for measuring time, which was adopted by most nations. 00:15:32.144 --> 00:15:36.823 I think it's like 90% of countries in the world and. 00:15:37.168 --> 00:16:01.568 Part of the reason that I have found that they did that, like I said, is to keep Easter in the springtime, and a lot of prominent Catholic apologists today will tell you that no, the Catholic church was not taking Pagan customs and adopting them in to their customs to try to convert the pagans. 00:16:03.958 --> 00:16:05.158 They make a good case for that. 00:16:05.158 --> 00:16:23.788 But I have a really hard time believing that really and truly because the way I grew up and the things that I studied growing up, I know about the things that correlate with Halloween and the things that correlate with Easter, and there's just too much crossover for me to really, truly believe that that wasn't happening. 00:16:23.788 --> 00:16:25.948 Because really it's a brilliant marketing strategy. 00:16:26.938 --> 00:16:27.808 Here's these pagans. 00:16:27.808 --> 00:16:32.099 We want them to be Catholics at that time, Christians,'cause that's all there was. 00:16:32.833 --> 00:16:37.394 So we're gonna take their things and go, yo, we have that too, but better. 00:16:38.384 --> 00:16:45.793 So this was a way to control those pagans a little more. 00:16:45.793 --> 00:16:46.874 Prove their authority. 00:16:47.264 --> 00:16:48.134 Why don't you come over here? 00:16:48.134 --> 00:16:49.994 We know we literally control time. 00:16:50.443 --> 00:16:51.764 You may as well get on our team. 00:16:53.129 --> 00:16:54.283 that's just my thought. 00:16:54.374 --> 00:16:57.193 So then I read. 00:16:58.933 --> 00:17:10.544 Some speculation that the current calendar benefits banks and governments because the uneven months make it more difficult for regular people like me and you to keep track of bills, interest, taxes, et cetera. 00:17:12.163 --> 00:17:18.913 How much thought have you put into the length of the quarters of the year, like the fiscal quarters? 00:17:19.903 --> 00:17:20.653 Probably not a lot. 00:17:20.653 --> 00:17:20.894 Right? 00:17:20.894 --> 00:17:23.023 I have put zero thought into it until yesterday. 00:17:23.864 --> 00:17:25.838 Quarter one is 90 days. 00:17:26.653 --> 00:17:26.713 Okay. 00:17:27.358 --> 00:17:29.278 January, February, March 31, 28. 00:17:29.278 --> 00:17:32.699 31, 90 days, quarter 2 91. 00:17:32.699 --> 00:17:34.709 Days 30, 31. 00:17:34.709 --> 00:17:40.828 30 quarter, 3 92 days, quarter 4 92 days. 00:17:43.108 --> 00:17:44.548 Like so how are you? 00:17:44.578 --> 00:17:50.804 How are we calculating the interest if everything's happening on the first of the month, the

15th of the month, the 30th of the month? 00:17:50.878 --> 00:17:52.078 How do we, what tax? 00:17:52.199 --> 00:17:54.838 Like let's keep it confusing. 00:17:55.828 --> 00:18:02.848 That we tell you how much you have to pay or like now you have to guess how much taxes you owe, and if you get it wrong, you go to jail. 00:18:03.088 --> 00:18:03.659 Crazy. 00:18:05.489 --> 00:18:19.709 So a guy named Moses Cosworth in 1902 proposed a solution that we go back to the 13 months of 28 days with the year day. 00:18:19.709 --> 00:18:20.878 That's not part of any month. 00:18:21.209 --> 00:18:24.848 So like Washington, DC is not a state. 00:18:26.308 --> 00:18:27.689 The year day is not a month. 00:18:28.709 --> 00:18:30.538 There's a leap day added every four years. 00:18:30.989 --> 00:18:34.199 Perfect quarters of exactly 91 days, 13 weeks. 00:18:35.919 --> 00:18:45.638 a lot of people, international businesses, league of Nations, supported it seriously considered at adapting it, adopting it. 00:18:45.638 --> 00:18:46.028 Hello. 00:18:47.118 --> 00:18:48.169 lots of scientists. 00:18:48.288 --> 00:18:51.499 George Eastman, the Kodak founder, was totally on board with it. 00:18:53.193 --> 00:18:58.743 It failed because religious leaders said, absolutely not. 00:18:58.743 --> 00:19:00.394 It disrupts the Sabbath cycle. 00:19:02.044 --> 00:19:05.253 Governments resisted because of tax overhaul. 00:19:06.743 --> 00:19:16.594 Banks totally resisted it because of interest calculation losses, and so they all said, no, it's culture, cultural inertia. 00:19:16.773 --> 00:19:18.364 We're too big to change now. 00:19:18.814 --> 00:19:19.864 Nothing we can do about it now. 00:19:22.637 --> 00:19:35.449 So whether you, whether you see the nefarious in it or not, it's really hard to argue that the adaptation of the Gregorian son of a bitch, the adoption, these are my own notes. 00:19:35.598 --> 00:19:43.519 The adoption of the Gregorian calendar has disconnected us all from like nature, our own logic, our own wisdom. 00:19:44.673 --> 00:19:52.294 And that's part of why I've always said New Year's resolutions are just bullshit because this is the coldest, darkest grossest time of the year. 00:19:52.564 --> 00:19:54.064 I wanna just hibernate in my house. 00:19:54.064 --> 00:20:00.784 I don't want to get up and do things But the second that Vernal Equinox hits, I'm like, hell yeah, let's clean the house, buddy. 00:20:01.263 --> 00:20:03.064 So there's a lot to that. 00:20:05.344 --> 00:20:12.094 And I spent this whole morning thinking a lot about my Normie friends and. 00:20:12.979 --> 00:20:15.558 Conspiracies and like what that actually means. 00:20:15.558 --> 00:20:26.419 And I don't think, I don't know that Pope Gregory the 13th was like, let's just f all these peasants and change the calendar. 00:20:26.778 --> 00:20:33.439 But I do think that there is a group of people who run the world. 00:20:33.919 --> 00:20:39.259 I don't know who they are, so I just, I'm gonna

call 'em, they, and they have power. 00:20:39.259 --> 00:20:40.249 It's not about money. 00:20:40.953 --> 00:20:44.584 The people who are after the money are like mid-level managers. 00:20:45.213 --> 00:20:48.784 There's a whole other class of people above them that just want the power. 00:20:49.534 --> 00:20:51.784 And like I've said, absolute power corrupts absolutely. 00:20:52.173 --> 00:20:55.594 And I think that money does weird things to people. 00:20:56.493 --> 00:21:09.874 And so if these controlling people now have access to corrupt these mid, mid-level managers with money, then they can get a lot of people on board to do some really shady shit. 00:21:11.298 --> 00:21:31.009 And my very innocuous non conspiracy example of that is grocery store products, any products, but like you think about going to the grocery store and this bag of chips has less and less and less chips in it over time. 00:21:32.058 --> 00:21:32.959 And then. 00:21:34.249 --> 00:21:39.648 They finally make the packaging a little bit smaller to accommodate those less and less chips, right? 00:21:39.648 --> 00:21:42.259 So they've lost like 30% of the chips. 00:21:42.949 --> 00:21:47.598 And then, oh look, the price went up by 15% because inflation. 00:21:48.828 --> 00:21:53.088 And then when people are like, what the hell, I used to get way more chips than this. 00:21:53.209 --> 00:21:56.818 Then they come out and go, look, we've added 25% more chips. 00:21:58.638 --> 00:22:01.249 And then they raise the price and over and over and over again. 00:22:01.249 --> 00:22:01.578 That's. 00:22:02.209 --> 00:22:07.038 I brought that up when I was like 19, and somebody in my life was like, no, that's bullshit. 00:22:07.038 --> 00:22:07.729 They're not doing that. 00:22:08.088 --> 00:22:14.028 And then it was actually in a marketing and business class that I took in college, like, yes, they 100% do that. 00:22:14.028 --> 00:22:15.558 That is so well known now. 00:22:16.338 --> 00:22:20.148 But in order for that to work, everybody has to be on board, all of the producers. 00:22:21.169 --> 00:22:23.298 And so that's happening. 00:22:24.828 --> 00:22:30.019 So this calendar manipulation might not have started off as like a super nefarious thing, but it. 00:22:31.804 --> 00:22:40.564 It benefited some people in financial ways and so it's hard to not, it's hard for me to not see the conspiracy in it. 00:22:41.913 --> 00:22:54.124 And then the really fun part about it, if you want to go really crazy conspiracies, which I don't know how I feel about this at all, but when you're looking up calendar conspiracies, have you ever heard of the phantom time theory? 00:22:54.663 --> 00:22:55.144 No. 00:22:55.773 --> 00:22:57.304 This is wild. 00:22:57.814 --> 00:22:58.294 So. 00:22:59.044 --> 00:23:04.263 German amateur historian Herbert. 00:23:04.354 --> 00:23:06.094 I don't think that's how you pronounce that, but I'm gonna call him. 00:23:06.094 --> 00:23:23.638 Herbert Iig wrote a book in 1996 called The Invented Middle Ages, the Greatest Time Falsification in History, which suggests that the years six 14 to nine 11, a sizable chunk of the Middle Ages never happened. 00:23:25.534 --> 00:23:26.973 So it was just like stories. 00:23:27.544 --> 00:23:50.644 So he says that Holy Roman Emperor Otto ii, Pope Sylvester ii, and possibly Roman Emperor Constantine the seventh conspired to make up 297 years of history, including the reign of Charlemagne, the Viking raids on Europe and countless other historical events in order to place Otto's rule in the year 1000. 00:23:51.814 --> 00:23:59.163 1000 years after Christ's death, the main reason being he wanted to rule a thousand years after the birth of Christ. 00:23:59.193 --> 00:24:11.074 How historians have offered considerable evidence that debunks the theory, not the least of which is that this hypothesis ignores the development of other cultures around the world during those 300 years. 00:24:11.374 --> 00:24:17.263 And apparently, astronomers have also said no, that's for sure not real, but. 00:24:18.134 --> 00:24:31.663 It's like a, a whole theory that people have flushed out and it just cracks me up because if they can just wipe out 10 or 11 days from the calendar here and there, like why couldn't they just wipe out 300 years? 00:24:33.193 --> 00:24:34.814 Because again, who's writing the history books? 00:24:34.814 --> 00:24:35.054 Who's 00:24:35.054 --> 00:24:35.394 writing writing? 00:24:35.394 --> 00:24:36.104 Who's writing the history books? 00:24:36.104 --> 00:24:36.973 What's going on? 00:24:36.973 --> 00:24:45.134 That's really that monumental in that time period anyway, that needs, that would significantly change how things continued on. 00:24:45.134 --> 00:24:46.364 Even if you did remove it. 00:24:46.423 --> 00:24:46.693 Yeah. 00:24:47.729 --> 00:24:52.259 It's those comments that we make of, well, that's a day of my life. 00:24:52.259 --> 00:24:53.278 I'll never be able to get back. 00:24:53.278 --> 00:24:57.058 When you have to do some really shitty stuff, is it gonna make a monumental change? 00:24:57.058 --> 00:24:57.598 No. 00:24:58.108 --> 00:24:58.409 Right. 00:24:58.469 --> 00:25:00.239 Or like even when you fly. 00:25:01.769 --> 00:25:02.038 Sure. 00:25:02.159 --> 00:25:09.028 Like from Australia to here, you, you, the whole day of your life doesn't exist because you're crossing time zones, 00:25:09.058 --> 00:25:10.378 which it's so hard to take. 00:25:10.693 --> 00:25:12.253 Medication on those days too. 00:25:12.554 --> 00:25:16.273 'cause you're, you think, oh yeah, I was supposed to take this at night every night. 00:25:16.273 --> 00:25:19.483 So is it just 24 hours then it throws me off for everything else. 00:25:19.513 --> 00:25:19.814 Yeah. 00:25:19.963 --> 00:25:21.374 It's a crazy, I don't like that. 00:25:22.153 --> 00:25:28.094 So I do wanna ask how you count your calendar, how you count the months of the year. 00:25:29.054 --> 00:25:29.473 Days.

Like with a calendar K and it was 'cause len's or however they wanna say it in that time period referred to the taxes. 00:29:04.318 --> 00:29:05.128 So, 00:29:05.219 --> 00:29:06.449 oh, I did read something about that. 00:29:06.479 --> 00:29:08.638 Yeah, so there was something about that. 00:29:08.729 --> 00:29:22.648 I didn't look hard enough to remember just the source of it, but I saw that and I thought that's very interesting and also makes sense because even in the days of your all the Roman Empire days. 00:29:23.023 --> 00:29:24.193 Taxes was a thing. 00:29:24.223 --> 00:29:25.003 Jesus time. 00:29:25.003 --> 00:29:26.144 It was taxes was a thing. 00:29:26.144 --> 00:29:27.463 You always paid your taxes. 00:29:27.493 --> 00:29:27.733 Yeah. 00:29:28.094 --> 00:29:28.574 So 00:29:28.574 --> 00:29:30.044 give to Caesar, what is Caesar's? 00:29:30.134 --> 00:29:30.523 Yeah. 00:29:30.554 --> 00:29:39.594 And the fact that it was like, no, we're gonna lose a lot on interest calculations is, a little
