[00:00] So you're saying with Hilton Honors, I can use points for a free night stay anywhere? Anywhere. What about fancy places like the Canopy in Paris?

Speaker 2:
[00:08] Yeah, Hilton Honors, baby.

Speaker 1:
[00:10] Or relaxing sanctuaries like the Conrad and Tulum?

Speaker 3:
[00:13] Hilton Honors, baby.

Speaker 1:
[00:15] What about the five-star Waldorf Astoria in the Maldives? Are you gonna do this for all 9,000 properties?

Speaker 4:
[00:22] When you want points that can take you anywhere, anytime, it matters where you stay. Hilton, for the stay. Book your spring break now.

Speaker 5:
[00:56] Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 35, episode number 16. What do you know of the calendar that most of us use and how it was created? Does the way calendaring is done currently feel a bit confusing and inconsistent? Do you know that a consistent calendar is even possible? What if a new calendar enters your life experience along with it came an opportunity to reclaim your perception of time to a standardized unit of measurement? What if keeping calendrical time was like baking or engineering or any facet of other human endeavors which requires consistency to function efficiently? I am your temporally tidy host, Brandon Thomas, and with me as always is Gillian Jumpin, Joe Hodgdon.

Speaker 3:
[01:51] Dude, yeah, so we've brought this topic up before, but I'm glad we're actually going to get into it so that people know what the hell we're talking about, because I think we just mentioned it a couple shows ago actually about how much more temporally tidy it is to have a 13 month calendar and how off, I'm sure you'll get into it, but how off it is right now with October being the 10th month and November being the 11th month. You know, like it's just, oh yeah, none of it, none of it makes sense. And there's 30 days in this one, 28 in this one and 31 in these ones. It's yeah, it's a mess.

Speaker 5:
[02:23] It's absolutely nuts and you're incredibly correct. Now, what would you say to a 10 month calendar?

Speaker 3:
[02:28] I mean, break it out. Let's see.

Speaker 5:
[02:31] Yeah, I know. So Tom, this guy named Tom Sherman, who we're going to talk about in here, it's one of these things to where it's like, do you even think about that? Have you ever even thought about the calendar, like to a deep degree or ever just sat down and been like, why is it like this? Have you ever thought about that?

Speaker 3:
[02:48] Well yeah, especially once I heard about the Mandela effect, that one tripped me up because of the whole, I think I've brought it up too, but I could have sworn on a stack of Bibles that Thanksgiving was the third Thursday of November. That's how I always remembered it. And one day a couple of years ago, I figured out that it was the fourth Thursday in November and that it's always been that apparently. But there's a lot of people I've talked to who remember it being the third Thursday. That's a different show obviously, but as far as the calendar goes, yes, it is wonky and I always hated that, I can't remember which months have 30, which ones have 30 or 31.

Speaker 5:
[03:24] Exactly, this is the thing. Once you really look at it, if you get past the, well, of course it's that way because people have figured it out and you get to the, yeah, why is it that way? This is where Tom is and this is great. So linked down in the show description guys is going to be his new calendar. We're going to talk about how it's the only calendar you will ever need. If you don't mind Joe, read the date range on that calendar I've got here.

Speaker 3:
[03:47] So this one came out in 2019 and it's good all the way to the year 9999.

Speaker 5:
[03:53] That's right, because it is a consistent unit of measurement that Tom figured out to divide all days throughout the year.

Speaker 3:
[04:00] And this is accounting for leap years too?

Speaker 5:
[04:01] Yes, this does account for leap years. He adds it in there and we're going to talk about it. And I'm telling you, this suit is incredibly cool. So Tom and I met a few years ago. This calendar I've got that I'm showing you here, I've been using, see how it's degraded at the top here is because it's just been pinned back again and again to the wall. Three years have had this thing.

Speaker 3:
[04:19] So that would be the thing is that the calendar is going to wear out before its usefulness does.

Speaker 5:
[04:23] Correct, that is exactly right, yeah. And this dude, I admire the level of nerd it takes to undermine something so unquestioned.

Speaker 3:
[04:30] Like this. That's a new level of tism.

Speaker 5:
[04:33] I just simply adore exactly, I have a great adoration for the level of properly managed autism needed to undertake such a thing. Now, how are you liking, by the way, before we get into this, your position as librarian?

Speaker 3:
[04:46] As librarian? Oh, loving it. I forgot, yeah, we mentioned it on the Tuesday show, but yeah, my books came in from the boys, and I have a overwhelming amount of books sitting on those shelves that I built four or five months ago, so it's great. We have tons of new content coming your way, because now I have actual books I can just sit on my couch and start reading.

Speaker 5:
[05:07] Yep, should have mine as soon as it's fiscally responsible for them to get here. They've been sitting in a warehouse for a week, but we'll get them here as soon as we can. Okay, so, and before we get to this, what do you have coming up on Plus?

Speaker 3:
[05:18] Well, I know I beat it, beat the dead horse nearly to death, but I do want to jump into a couple more NDE slash OBE experiences, because there's just so many good ones out there. And I figured I left it alone for a couple months, so we're going to bring that back in the Plus extension. So if you're on Plus and you're into that, stay tuned for that later.

Speaker 5:
[05:38] Very cool, very, always looking forward to those, man. We do, again, heaps of those, no worries at all. All right, so let's get calendaring here. So Tom Sherman, again, this dude that I talked about, he asks a very simple question. And what I've done here is put together basically a presentation of this dude and his work over a few different considerations. So we have a website, which is a beautiful resource, it's going to be linked up top, his Facebook, The New Calendar, and he made it very easy on you guys. Again, as his calendar goes very simple, thenewcalendar.com is going to be his website. If you guys want to go ahead and check that out. He also had a few interviews here. He did a Ted talk about this as well, that's interwoven with all of this. So what we're going to do is just go through his work and explain the breakdown of what this is, because it's actually very interesting. Okay, so Tom will start out, and I'll just ask you here, Daryl, how long is a foot?

Speaker 3:
[06:40] 12 inches.

Speaker 5:
[06:41] Okay, and how heavy is a pound?

Speaker 3:
[06:44] 16 ounces.

Speaker 5:
[06:45] Very good, look at Homeschooled. Okay, freezing temperatures of water in Fahrenheit?

Speaker 3:
[06:49] 32.

Speaker 5:
[06:51] Very good, okay, how long is a month?

Speaker 3:
[06:55] Exactly.

Speaker 5:
[06:56] Exactly, and this is, well, you know, it depends, right? So you might want to start whispering a rhyme underneath your breath or counting your knuckles, however you do it to determine a month, and it could be anything from 28 to 31 days. And according to internal surveys, about two thirds of people estimate a month to be 30 days long when a full 75% of the year is made of months that are either 31 or 28 days. So basically the annual calendar system is afforded inaccuracies and inconsistencies that other measurement systems just aren't allowed to have. There's not a standard metric of units here.

Speaker 3:
[07:38] I know. And that's when we talk about the 13 month calendar, I know you're going to go into 10 month or whatever, but the 28 days because it follows the lunar cycle, which we also just covered, that makes a lot more sense to follow the lunar instead of the... Because we have a solar calendar, right? The Gregorian is a solar calendar.

Speaker 5:
[07:57] Yes, and that's also what the mineral salt and zodiac are based on, the 12 months of the zodiac, but you have a moon calendar as well, which is very different. So again, it depends on what your standard of measurement is and did we all agree on the same one?

Speaker 3:
[08:11] Isn't there some debate as to the zodiac signs too, that there could be 13? I think it's somewhere between Scorpio or it's somewhere around there.

Speaker 5:
[08:18] Ophiuchus' ass, yeah, Ophiuchus, the 13th sign, it's also blocked out in an Egyptian temple, which is really cool. It's like the only thing you look up in this Egyptian temple, all the other ones were represented and this one's blocked out. Allegedly, it also connects to Ophiuchus. So, yes, and Dave Warner Matheson, shout out. If you guys have not read The Undying Stars, highly recommend it. He also talks quite heavily about Ophiuchus and yes, allegedly, this is the 13th sign. Now, what we are gonna do, Joe, and you're beautifully synced ahead a little bit here, is we're gonna talk about Tom's new calendar system and how that breaks down on this one. Next one, the Plus extension after the show, no, next Tuesday's episode, the next Tuesday Plus show here, we're gonna break down calendars. We're gonna talk about Ethiopian calendars. It's crazy, they're not even in the same year as us, or as anybody else. Also, yes, the 13 month, there's a lot to break down just when it comes to timekeeping methods in general. Now, here we're gonna introduce Tom's new calendar and then we're going to break down some further questions about calendaring because it's, again, one thing that's probably you don't question, but this is a beautiful, autistic, handsome man who did question this thing, and he crushed it with this. He writes that units don't compound and coordinate with each other. That leads to fractional units. A week is actually 52.127 weeks in a year rather than 52, like we normally think, and this all compounds. Now, over the past decade, he's had a team of scientists and engineers in a couple of college dropouts take a look at this with a no-nonsense approach, and he's tackling the shit out of time itself. Now, they had one goal, and it was to divide time as evenly as possible in order to create a coherent measurement system that can be used at any given point in time. And this is exactly to what you were talking about in the last Plus Show, to the standardized based on the rhythm, the natural rhythm like the moon or the sun or something like this. This is a standardized measurement because we have one, right?

Speaker 3:
[10:24] Right.

Speaker 5:
[10:25] Since time is a measurement, it should be treated as such. So they developed a system based around the fact that the 365 days a year can only be broken down into base units of 5 and 73 and created standardized compounding units that occur with consistency and regularity from week to week, month to month, season to season, year to year, in perpetuity. So it's a timekeeping system where all the units are designed to work in conjunction with each other, so that users can establish resonance in order to amplify the magnitude of their actions. So basically, it came up with a new calendar.

Speaker 3:
[11:09] And isn't there some, I know it's, what was it before, the Julian calendar, before they adopted the Gregorian?

Speaker 5:
[11:14] Yeah, that's why your intro was Julian jumping and Joe Hodgdon.

Speaker 3:
[11:19] Yeah, are you going to get into any of that and why they changed it?

Speaker 5:
[11:22] Next episode, yes.

Speaker 3:
[11:23] Oh, next episode.

Speaker 5:
[11:24] Yes, we are, yeah. This is all about Tom. This is the Tom Sherman show right here, because there's enough. And we're going to do our best to cover it in one, honestly. Next time, we are going to get into why it was established, why it was also then possibly changed. Then we're going to go deep as shit on astrology implications, okay? Because I'm curious, and we're going to go deep into this one on the next one. I'm curious about, if you think about music, right, that it was changed from, what was it, 442 to 440?

Speaker 3:
[11:49] 440 to 4, oh, no, from 432 to 440.

Speaker 5:
[11:54] That's correct, yeah. So, you think of that apprehension and what that did musically, but what if a shift in time does the same for your resonance with the realm? It's just as dissonant in coherence. And so, it shifts everything off. If you're beating to that drum, then it's going to throw it off a bit, right? And therefore, so could your circadian rhythms. You may be missing cues from nature itself that could better you. And Tom even talks about in his system, he breaks it down to a more obvious, he adds a fifth season in this thing, which we're going to get to. Because the way that even the seasons are laid out aren't reflective of our experience of them in the realm. It's very interesting. Again, how the New Year doesn't begin in January, it's still fucking cold, man. Everything starts to bloom in late March, which is when the New Year starts. It's that idea, but in calendar form. There's an article here by ABC that we're going to run through real quick. And this reads, local scientists say that they've discovered a fifth season. And again, this is going to be linked in the show description if you want to go through it on your own. With snow on the ground and temperatures plummeting, it might not feel like the first day of spring, but believe it or not, a team of local scientists says it is. Even more surprising, they say it's all because of a newly discovered fifth season. The group of Georgetown, Delaware, Think Tank, Gavin Industries, Galvin Industries, has been researching timekeeping systems for nearly a decade. They say they've come up with a revolutionary new calendar system that corrects the problems with the traditional Gregorian calendar. And it's brilliant, I'll slip in. The scientists believe dividing 365 day year into 73 day units will create uniformity, eliminating minor issues like your birthday changing days of the week or an extra week we sometimes have between Thanksgiving and Christmas. So what does it mean for the seasons, you may be asking here, Joe? The article is going to answer it for you, here we go. Now, the group's new system includes winter to be from December 21st to March 3rd. All right. Spring would then be from March 4th to May 15th. You have summer from May 16th to July 27th, then comes the new edition of autumn, that's the new season there, and that's from July 28th to October 8th, and then finally fall from October 9th to December 20th. Okay? I know that was a lot.

Speaker 3:
[14:26] That actually does make a lot more sense, at least where I live, as far as how we experience the seasons. It's, I mean, we get a really long summer, and it's anywhere from late May to sometimes all the way through October, and then we really don't get full on into winter till January, like maybe even February sometimes.

Speaker 5:
[14:47] Exactly, especially out here in Texas. We don't really get a winter that we speak of. We call them cold fronts, but yes, when we start getting the substantial amount of our cold fronts, and especially the ones that make us go, huh, should we do something with the pipes outside? Ah, and pull the plants in for a couple of weeks, then those, yes, don't start coming until February for us. So it seems silly. Now again, when you go through Tom's calendar here, and I've got one, and again, guys, it's going to be linked, and you can go through it like crazy on his website there, thenewcalendar.com, but do you see how he's got a chart of inclination of sun degrees? He also, as you go through this, has a tree that either loses leaves or grows leaves as you go through the season here, and then has snow on it in winter, but if you see he's got early spring, late spring, he's got these divided into different sections with also mid days in between that you just kind of chill the hell out, and that's how the math works, is that you have basically off days.

Speaker 3:
[15:42] A chill day.

Speaker 5:
[15:43] A chill day in the middle of each season, and there's five of those chill days, which is also where he will add the bleepier day to one of those, and he recommends in the summer, because it's longer and it's better.

Speaker 3:
[15:53] I will say that the pictures on that calendar are way classier than the calendars we get. We always get a goofy calendar. The last couple years it's been pooping dogs. I'm not kidding. You can buy them on Amazon.

Speaker 5:
[16:05] Really? Okay.

Speaker 3:
[16:06] Every month's got a new picture of a dog dropping deuce.

Speaker 5:
[16:09] Is it the dog just in the act of, and there's no feces present like you know he's about to? It's pre-poo or is there poo present?

Speaker 3:
[16:18] It's tasteful. Sometimes there is an actual duke that you can see, but a lot of times it's just they're in the position. But it's just a, yeah, it's funny. I enjoy it.

Speaker 5:
[16:27] All right. I know you do. All right. So I've seen your algorithm. You send some of it to me. All right. So Tom did a Ted Talk, and say that three times fast. It is going to be linked, and I'm just going to kind of run down it, run down what he says in there through this and see, it gives you a little deeper look into Tom himself, and where he is mentally and spiritually and emotionally with this whole process. It's so well written, and I'm just very proud of him. This is, buddy, I'm just very proud of him for doing this. That fucking Ted Talk, buddy, right? Now, it's titled, Timing is Everything, How Small Moments Last a Lifetime, by Tom Sherman. This is a TEDx William and Mary, which they're a bunch of different TEDxs.

Speaker 3:
[17:08] What's the difference between a regular, like, TED standard and a TEDx?

Speaker 5:
[17:12] Couldn't answer that for you. I really couldn't.

Speaker 3:
[17:14] I'll Google it.

Speaker 5:
[17:15] Okay. Tom reminds us that every morning we wake up, we look in the mirror, we brush our teeth, we marvel at how remarkable this realm is, and smile at the fact that we get another day to create. Now, we might think about the past, an odd moment that happened the other day, or an anniversary of a generational, where were you when type moment that changed the course of history. Like, you know, JFK's assassination, 9-11, that time that Fonzie jumped over a shark on water skis in his leather jacket, or the week of are you paying attention lockdowns, or maybe something that happened a long time ago, like a plasma apocalypse, for instance. Perhaps some of us think about the future, an upcoming deadline, or the next big seasonal holiday, like Unicorn Day, Spring Break, or Flag Day, right? And perhaps Thanksgiving's shifty ass. I had a shifty ass, and that's funny that you even said in there that it used to be one, but now it's moving around. That's what I'm talking about. That's why I had that note in there, so it's great that you said it.

Speaker 3:
[18:19] Yeah, and I'm not the only one who noticed that, but my mom is dead set that it was always the fourth Thursday, and I'm like, how?

Speaker 5:
[18:27] How? You've had more of them than me, dude. They've been in your reality longer. How are you? Maybe that's it. Maybe the boomers just got, like AI, they just couldn't detect Mandela effects, and they're just like, okay, yeah, that's always the way it was. There was never a corner copia on that shit. Yeah. Thanksgiving's just been the way it is.

Speaker 3:
[18:43] I could, like I said, I would swear that it was the third Thursday, like on everything it was.

Speaker 5:
[18:48] I got heaps of folks that are right with you on that thing. And again, that's why I noted it here. So perhaps Thanksgiving's Shifty F. Shifty F is my addition. You just said Thanksgiving, of course. I'm adding some character to this thing.

Speaker 3:
[18:59] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[19:00] Even, or even 30 or 50 years down the line to retirement, if you're still playing that game. Now, or maybe billions of years from now, when the sun explodes and destroys Earth as the mainstream says that we should look forward to. But rarely do we think about the present moment. Counting the number of brush strokes, concentrating on breathing properly, chuckling when a fat kid takes a fall and farts at the same time.

Speaker 3:
[19:29] You added that.

Speaker 5:
[19:30] Yeah, I did add that.

Speaker 3:
[19:31] Thank you.

Speaker 5:
[19:32] Tom says that for some, most moments seem unremarkable from one to the next. But other times, moments occur that define our lives and shift our perception on a either personal or collective or global reality level. And he says that moments and memories are points in time that continue to ripple across our lives. But unlike the fancy flutter-by flapping, the rock drip dropping or the shout fading out, we will relive those moments every time we think about them. So what does it all mean, Tom asks askily? It seems that somehow the present moment is caused by events of the past and that it emerges from the future and at the same time fuses back into the past again and creates a whole new reality. Now the entirety of those individual moments sparked a chain of events that lead us to this moment right me out. And Tom says that he has spent the past decade researching the science of time, calendars and measurement systems. And during this research, he discovered the fifth season of the year and invented a new calendar system that divides time evenly, precisely, accurately and logically for the first time in history.

Speaker 4:
[20:55] Boom!

Speaker 5:
[20:56] Bold claim, huh?

Speaker 3:
[20:58] Why is he not winning a Nobel Peace Prize for this?

Speaker 5:
[21:01] Sack on this guy, I'm telling you. And his Nobel Peace Prize is in the mail when they finally get their standards right. Tom reminds us that Nikola Tesla once said that if you want to understand the universe, you think in terms of 3, 6 and 9. Energy, vibration and frequency, but synonymous, very nice. Now, we can break down our current reality into these parts. And you and I are at our cores, lumps of energy, sustained by the calories of our last meal and our disposition and our mineral up to standardness. Energy inevitably generates vibrations that take the form of waves. The light waves emitted from a spotlight are reflecting off of the presenter and into the eyes of the audience. The sound waves from voices reverberate through speakers and into ears. Just two examples of many inputs that, when filtered through your senses, create your perception of reality, which is then stored inside your brain, possibly. I'm going to note also there that maybe it's a non-local, more of a transmitter.

Speaker 3:
[22:08] According to the mainstream, it's stored in your brain.

Speaker 5:
[22:10] But still, for that perspective, pretty damn deep for a calendar, huh?

Speaker 3:
[22:13] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[22:14] Okay.

Speaker 3:
[22:15] The tism is strong in this one.

Speaker 5:
[22:16] Bro, I love this guy so much. The greater the energy, the greater the vibrational wave that is created.

Speaker 2:
[22:22] Pepsi prebiotic cola in original and cherry vanilla. That Pepsi tastes you low with no artificial sweeteners and three grams of prebiotic fiber. Pepsi prebiotic cola. Unbelievably Pepsi.

Speaker 5:
[22:37] A comet slamming into the ocean could create a mile-high wave causing mass extinctions. Conversely, a pebble hitting the surface of a still pond with a satisfying splash might create perfect concentric circles and cause a moment of inner peace and tranquility. Frequency adds the element of time into the equation here, which is one of the most interesting yet un-interested parts of this whole damn thing. And if an extinction-level event were to hit the earth every day or every year, then it would render our planet inhabitable. However, it happens once every 100,000 years or so, so it allows for the opportunity for the new growth and new life to evolve. You think of like a reset on this, on these time scales, like a yuga, like a shit yuga or a plasma apocalypse or something like that. The moments and memories that are in our minds when we access them are driven by the frequency by which we remember them. And he says that it could be catastrophic moments, like forgetting the words to your big speech, and I would say possibly looking like Kelly Foss for that, right? Now, or trusting the wrong fart before Labor Day at a large outdoor gathering.

Speaker 3:
[23:51] Been there, haven't we all?

Speaker 5:
[23:54] But it doesn't always have to be a catastrophic shard of a moment that drives our lives to change and betterment. Small, insignificant ones can have just as much impact. And Tom was in the business school at College of William and Mary during what would later become known as the Great Financial Crisis and Recession. Remember that fun time?

Speaker 3:
[24:18] 2008, yeah? Yeah, good stuff. I was barely coming of age, so I didn't really care. But now I look back at it, I'm like, ooh.

Speaker 5:
[24:27] I'm like, ugh, I just want to listen to Sum 41.

Speaker 3:
[24:29] Get out of here. Good Charlotte, man.

Speaker 5:
[24:33] So one morning during his 8 a.m. bonds class, the professor walked in and he said, all right, gang, in this chapter, we're going to learn why we'll never see negative interest rates in the market. In theory, although in reality, there are negative interest rates at the moment, we'll just learn this chapter anyway, and it'll sort itself out. And that small offhand joke stuck in his mind over the next few years, and he found it irritating. And he felt that they should have just ripped up the textbook and rewritten it rather than just carrying on like nothing was wrong. This is how supervillains are created, by the way, also. He could have chosen a different path, and none of us would have blamed him for doing so. Eventually, it was so aggravating that he decided to start searching for deeper truths buried in geology courses. And you know what? Knowing geology would be good in. It offers some great insight on how to build your evil layer inside of an active volcano, like one likes to do. By the time his college and career ended, he had decided to forego the big job on Wall Street along with the boundless blow and plethora of prostitution on Puntang, instead of becoming a rogue scientist and inventor. This eventually turned that annoying grain of time into one of his greatest pearls. He started keeping a notebook with ideas and research, one of which was time, specifically the history, science and engineering behind our current calendar system, the bitch-ass Gregorian, right? Which we are going to cover on the next Plus Show on Tuesday. So Joe, do you feel that the Gregorian calendar could in some way be possibly massively flawed?

Speaker 3:
[26:16] Yeah, quite a bit. It seems like just a ball of chaos that somebody who was way less autistic came up with and was like, yeah, sure, we'll do 28 days in this one and we'll just really throw them for a loop with all the rest of the months. Why not?

Speaker 5:
[26:30] Maybe this is it. Maybe it's not that they were doing it deliberately, it's just they needed vaccine-injured children to come along at some point. Like we have a master now and figure this shit out for them later. That was their retro-causality. They said, you know what, it's just too hard to figure out. We're going to just poke a bunch of kids with this shit and then in like 20 years, 30, 40 years, they'll be able to retro-causality all kinds of fun shit.

Speaker 3:
[26:54] It just makes me wonder like how am I actually a Scorpio?

Speaker 5:
[26:58] This, okay, now we're going to get into that on the next episode, okay, because if this changes just like the music thing, all right, because if it shifts, then if you are doing Christal retention, for instance, and doing it during your moon sign, are you going sidereal or tropical? And sidereal is more of the ancient one, so we're going to talk about this, dude. Again, your mind is on the next episode wholly, and I love it, because you're just promoting the shit out of it.

Speaker 3:
[27:23] Is star astrology right? Yes. Do I have that right?

Speaker 5:
[27:27] Yes, that's correct.

Speaker 3:
[27:29] Because there's like Vedic astrology and all kinds of other ones.

Speaker 5:
[27:31] Right, there's Vedic, there's tropical, right. And so then that's the other question. Is that even correct? And there's been an itch in my crawl about astrology. I don't know what it is, and I feel that it is, I relate it to music because I can relate to that so much, right? I tuned my guitar half down a step. I've done that for years, long before I knew about the 440 thing. It's just been in me. So I get the frequency business of it, and I also get, and anybody can get this, if you'd adjust a course of a ship by one degree, over a lot of time, that's going to be very, very, very, very fucking different.

Speaker 3:
[28:02] Oh yeah.

Speaker 5:
[28:03] It's going to cover a lot of ground in the wrong direction or in an askew direction, let's say.

Speaker 3:
[28:07] Well, that makes me think that that's why there's such a debate about whether we're in the age of Aquarius or out to or if it's way off. I've heard people debate that over and over and over again because we don't really know exactly where or when we are. So it's like, according to some calendars, we hit the age of Aquarius a decade maybe ago. And then according to some people, we're still like 300 years out from it. And maybe this answers that because we don't actually know because of the calendars all jacked up.

Speaker 5:
[28:37] And man, you're on it.

Speaker 3:
[28:39] You're on it.

Speaker 5:
[28:39] You got it. And this is the thing, if you just take another look at it and you just start asking questions, and maybe Tom, again, this is based on the pretext of starting it kind of from a point, right, 2019. So if you think about it, though, it would scale all the way back. But again, is that set in the correct spot? His, honestly, if you just do it from a numerical standpoint, his could go from now for forever. And it makes sense because it's a measurement tool, just like a ruler. It doesn't change year to year. It's the exact same thing. And he's figured it out.

Speaker 3:
[29:09] I love it.

Speaker 5:
[29:10] Even adding the new thing. So Tom points out in here that starting a new month mid-week is like starting a new day mid-hour.

Speaker 3:
[29:17] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[29:17] Joe, how long does a month take anyway?

Speaker 3:
[29:21] We don't know. Apparently no one knows.

Speaker 5:
[29:23] Is it 30 days? Is it 31? Sometimes it's 28. Unless it's a leap year, then it's 29.

Speaker 3:
[29:30] I know people that have been born on February 29th on a leap year and it's like, oh shit, you only get to celebrate your actual birthday every four years.

Speaker 5:
[29:37] Yeah, I'm sure they love that. Yeah. And he even says in here that time is divided a bit unevenly there, isn't it? He writes, there aren't 52 weeks in a year. There are 52 weeks in one day in each year, which creates this slow cycling of time. So today is tomorrow, next year, unless the year before was a leap year and then two days from now, it's now. He said two days of a year only repeat on a six year, an 11 year, or an 11 year cycle, which is why many of us are familiar with our birth dates, but not as many of us know what day of the week we were actually born on, because it's constantly changing from one year to the next.

Speaker 3:
[30:21] Yep.

Speaker 5:
[30:21] I looked this up. Do you know what day you were born on? Day of the week.

Speaker 3:
[30:25] I am a Sunday child.

Speaker 5:
[30:27] You are. Do you know gents?

Speaker 3:
[30:30] She's gonna kill me if she listens to this. I think she's also Sunday actually though. Good job.

Speaker 5:
[30:34] She is a Sunday.

Speaker 3:
[30:35] Nice job.

Speaker 5:
[30:36] Yes. I looked it up. Mary and I are both Saturdays. How weird is that?

Speaker 3:
[30:41] What a trip.

Speaker 5:
[30:41] I know.

Speaker 3:
[30:42] And both of our wives are Aquarius, but you're obviously the superior being a Virgo.

Speaker 5:
[30:49] Well, Aquarians will tell you differently. Virgos just know it. But if you look at also our wives' birthday, the physical, because she's born on the third year. Jen's born on the third. Mary's on the second of February, right? So, day apart, but a couple years off. But even that, with the years spread apart that they are, you still only have a one day difference in the day that they were born. Like, she was on Sunday, she was on Saturday. Very interesting. So, I thought that would be fun. But very good. You can keep your husband card, I guess. Jen, he's doing a great job. Now, leap day is a necessary mechanism. But the only reason that it's in February is because that's the most obvious place to put it. That's what she said. So, where do we get the extra day, Joe? But more importantly, why? So do we just stick it in the 28th day month, right? But then that destroys the one month a year that's actually built out of a full set of weeks. Tom says it's absolute madness and he wanted to figure it out. And he wanted to figure out why the system was broken and how to fix it. And the eureka moment came a few years into his research. He had realized a core fact that if there are 365 days in a year, then we can only divide that time evenly using its two base factors, 5 and 73. And that's it. Any other number trying to divide time any other way ends up with lopsided units and remainders. But that didn't really mean much to Tom because 5 and 73 are both odd numbers. They're prime and they're hard to work with. So he forgot about it and he carried on with his life until one day he overdrafted his bank account. Then the financial industry inevitably created another node in his life that changed its course and gave him his eureka moment. Again, this is the wonderful...

Speaker 3:
[32:49] What a funny way to get a eureka moment. This is such a great turning point. I love this.

Speaker 5:
[32:53] All right, so Tom says that in hindsight it makes a lot of sense because as they say here, time is money. And the bank told him that he had three days to get his account out of a withdrawn status, so it was a little below, okay?

Speaker 3:
[33:06] So time is a lot like money. Time is money and both of them are fake and gay.

Speaker 5:
[33:14] Yeah, our perception of both are fake and gay, yes. But money and currency and energy and all that, which is equated, and we're going to get to a money thing, chance actually, so here's a very, very shout out. He sent me a book, I forget the name of it right now, something about the tree of knowledge bears money. There's money on the tree of knowledge, something like that. Anyway, it's about a lady who figured this out, and if you do think about it, though, minerals energy, right? And what is gold and silver? They reduce down to minerals, exactly. So there is something to it, but I do not disagree with the perception of money, especially the trained version of it. Absolutely wrong, absolutely.

Speaker 3:
[33:51] The fiat version, yeah.

Speaker 5:
[33:52] The fucking fiat version, you bet. Now, to his surprise, on Monday, when he showed up with the cash to settle everything out, they told him that Saturday counted as a business day because they were open until noon. Cue the fucking metal music. This is what Jesus was flipping tables about, by the way.

Speaker 3:
[34:10] Oh, yeah.

Speaker 5:
[34:11] Now, it was the last straw. He went home, he took the damn calendar off his wall, and he started labeling days 1 to 73. He started with the shortest day of the year, found in the winter, yes, the solstice, first day of the year, and he marked the beginning of a new period. This period lasted from December 21st until March 3rd, which was a reasonable winter. The next period began on March 4th, and it ended on May 15th, which overlapped nicely with spring, and ended near the unofficial start of summer. However, the exact middle day of the middle period of the year landed on the summer solstice, and for Tom, suddenly everything clicked. So he started counting it out. It fell perfect. The seasons started making more sense, and then boom, he goes mathematically to the next solstice.

Speaker 3:
[35:06] Sounds like this guy needs to quiet down a bit before he gets visited by some men in suits.

Speaker 5:
[35:12] I love this guy. Now, time in Earth's annual orbit made perfect sense when viewed through its natural rhythms rather than trying to force antiquated views of a 15th century pope on to it. Okay, Tom, tell the truth. And that moment became the fuel for his fire for the next few years as he dissected the calendar and rebuilt a new one from scratch. Eventually, he created a system that divided evenly, anchored in time, was reusable, and freed its users from the illogical madness of the bitch-ass Gregorian calendar. It allowed them to take control of their time rather than being at the whim of an ancient broken system that obviously has ulterior motives, which we're gonna get to in the next one.

Speaker 3:
[35:58] I love you. I think you can probably guess what those ulterior motives might be, at least some of them.

Speaker 5:
[36:03] We know why. Tom boasts that we can now have a calendar where all the months have the same amount of days, a calendar where weeks can be divided into even parts, a calendar where people can plan, track, and analyze their time with a degree of precision and accuracy that was never before possible. And if we're willing to shift our perception of reality tomorrow morning as you're brushing your teeth, possibly with the opposite hand, and reflecting about your past triumphs or failures, or looking into the future and planning your goals or dreams, remember that you are at your core a lump of energy that's constantly creating vibrations in the present moment that can bring about change in your world. Dropping some retro-cosmicality on you.

Speaker 3:
[36:50] Lump of energy in a meat popsicle.

Speaker 5:
[36:52] Oh, I love this guy, man. What a great dude. Okay, so mic drop, it's gonna be located in the show description there so that y'all can check that talk out. It is just such a great job. Okay, now there is an article that we're gonna go over here by a guy named Nick Roth who wrote, is the calendar dated? Tom Sherman thinks so. Georgetown Man calls for fifth season and nine day weeks. This is gonna kind of break down a little bit more. It's gonna be linked as well. This is by Nick Roth. He covered this with Tom on March 12th, 2019. Now since childhood, Tom Sherman has said that he has been frustrated with the traditional Gregorian calendar and the simply random set up of months with 30 days, 31 days, February 28 or 29. And I love this too. If you've ever seen, just check out the picture of the guy. Google it, whatever. And I picture an adorable little prepubescent T-Rex Sherman as I'm certain that he was insistent on being called as a youngling in an absolute tizzy, attempting to be domesticated by this bunch of nonsense in this sort of rebellious fuck you calendar type of energy. You can tell, kids know, they're so unruly because it's bullshit. And then you can think of as a parent the things that you domesticated your child in against their will, and then now do you look at some of that shit? You're like, fuck.

Speaker 3:
[38:11] Yeah. I mean, why do you think they get them in school so early? Because they're like, we got to turn off your brain and make you think like everybody else. It's from Pink Floyd, The Wall, the movie, when they're going in the factory and they come out all looking the same with just blank faces. That's the school system.

Speaker 5:
[38:29] But your school system wasn't like that.

Speaker 3:
[38:31] No, it was a different kind of indoctrination, but I broke free of that for the most part.

Speaker 5:
[38:36] That's more of a singular focus. In the seasonal calendar, it has 36 days per month, but broken down into four nine day weeks. The days of the week are named after the eight planets and Pluto, which was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. Sherman's calendar features five seasons, spring, summer, autumn, fall and winter, and each is 73 days. Each month has 36 days, and there's a midpoint between each of the months. And he says it's a day to just sort of chill and take stock of what happened so far in the season and where you want to go by the end of the season. It's like a pause point to just reflect and take it all in and look around and go, nice, you know?

Speaker 3:
[39:17] I'm a big fan of that idea. I like it.

Speaker 5:
[39:20] Yeah, he titles it, when he spoke with me about it on the old show, he talked about that if you picture the season as a hill and like the first half of it, you're walking up, this midpoint's sort of a point at the top of the hill where you can look back at where you came from and you can also look ahead to where you're going and it's sort of like, okay, it's just a nice little pause point at the top of the thing. I'd say to take it in the scenery, you know, Tom would agree. He would agree, shit, we all agree. Now in Sherman's calendar, the winter ends in March 3rd again and runs through May 15th. Summer goes until July 28th and then the new season, autumn lasts until October 8th. And Tom says watermelon and sweet corn are coming in then and it's hurricane season. And he said that that time seems different than the first half of traditional summer. And then fall runs through December 20th. Tom says it's all kind of aligned and that's when it got really serious, that's when it got really serious into trying to figure out how to make these 573 units into actually a thing. So he worked out this underlining system and he started getting more and more people involved. It was a collection of friends and colleagues, a think tank, again, this Galvin Industries LLC. And the theme has always been communication, he said. And one thing about the traditional calendar is its constant need to clarify communications. It just takes up so much energy. And again, here, if you think about the industry behind, as well, Big Calendar, and you've got to get a new one every year, all of those kind of things, like you said, it's a billion dollar industry. With Toms, you buy one forever. That's it.

Speaker 3:
[40:55] I'm telling you, Big Calendar is behind this.

Speaker 5:
[40:57] For sure. Again, I've been using the same one for three years. I just need to reinforce the whole. That's what I told him. I go, Tom, you got to reinforce the whole. He goes, I know. He knew what I was talking about. So you can't say that it's the 25th of every month because it's constantly shifting. And in Sherman's calendars, birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays would be said to a certain day of the week, and it would never float. So what do you think about this so far?

Speaker 3:
[41:25] It's very interesting, and I don't understand why more people don't, I mean, maybe more people think about it than we know, but why isn't this talked about in the mainstream at all? It's never touched, like that's the calendar, that's the way that it's always been, and it's always going to be, okay, shut up, stop thinking.

Speaker 5:
[41:45] We know why, and it's what you talked about on the last Plus Show, which great job guys, go sign up, because all this is honestly tied together in some magical way, we don't know how we're doing it, but it is. You talked about the idea of the standard, right? And if it's a theory built on a theory built on a theory, then everything has to stack upon that. And if you pull the bottom part out, if at least a piece of it isn't true, the foundational piece, meaning that that's the only way it can be explained, then the whole thing goes away. So the same thing, if you start aligning people to the realm truly and you give them a standard of measurement that doesn't destabilize them, we're gonna go into the destabilizing on the Plus Show as well as time change. Because think about that, the highest rate of suicide is the Monday after time change. Did you know that?

Speaker 3:
[42:30] No.

Speaker 5:
[42:30] Yes, and so again, it's done on purpose, but if we can say no thank you and start doing this to a different degree. There's not a plug for it, but I created a journal series with the Publishing House a few years back. The one called Mindful Expansion Volume Two, I incorporated Tom's calendar in it, and I actually use that one every single day as my personal journal. And so every day, I'm keeping up to date with this, and it's been hanging on the wall right here in the studio for three years since I got it. So I've been looking at this. One of the fascinating things is Saturnalia falls on a Saturn day on the calendar because he numbered them by the planets. So they're nine day weeks and they're named after the planets, okay? And what's interesting too is on—because I started asking him, well, what about energetically can you correlate it? Because if you've got a consistent measure of time and on a Mars day, Psiops pop off, that's going to be a pattern that people start to pick up on. And that seems to be one of the patterns, by the way. Energetically on a Mars day, for some reason, things seem to pop off. You can probably track this calendar here back to a lot of major Psiops and have a lot of very interesting correlations that go along with it.

Speaker 3:
[43:40] Is Mars day Wednesday?

Speaker 5:
[43:43] No. I think, honestly, Wednesday is Odin. So I don't know which planet that represents. We could look that up, though, on the fly.

Speaker 3:
[43:52] We have to do a Google. I'm curious, though, what day is it over in Brandon's land, according to your calendar?

Speaker 5:
[43:59] In my land? So we're in early spring. I think we just had Pluto.

Speaker 3:
[44:03] That checks out.

Speaker 5:
[44:03] I just did this this morning. Now, what's great about this also is if you want to get the calendar, he will show you along with this what the Gregorian is as well. So it's easy to follow along with. So you do have the Gregorian right there. So in today's world, we are in a Pluto day.

Speaker 3:
[44:21] Which is?

Speaker 5:
[44:22] No, we are in a Pluto day. So it's the last day of the week, which is Pluto.

Speaker 3:
[44:29] Oh.

Speaker 5:
[44:29] And then that would then shift back around. So technically, we are in late spring, Pluto. And then the next day, it'll come back around here to Mercury. And then go to Earth, Venus, Mars, Jupiter.

Speaker 3:
[44:42] So it's nine day weeks.

Speaker 5:
[44:43] Yes. Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[44:46] Yeah, I definitely want one of these. Just for shits and gigs, you know.

Speaker 5:
[44:49] Well, and again, if you've got a consistent unit of measurement, if some shit pops off consistently, you'd be able to track it a lot better and figure some nonsense out within the realm.

Speaker 3:
[44:57] Well, wouldn't that be a great reason to muck up the calendar we use? Exactly.

Speaker 5:
[45:02] This is the point. I feel that it is destabilized because things are cyclical, especially fuckery. And if you are working off of the skewed calendar, you miss the fuckery. You're in reaction mode rather than no thank you mode.

Speaker 3:
[45:14] Oh, another thing. I wonder how that affects gematria or gematria, however you say it, because a lot of people that use like numerology and stuff go off of the Gregorian calendar. So, I wonder how much more accurate it would be, because they're always like, oh, it's been 66 days since his birthday. You know gematria people, but yeah, I wonder how much that would change or be more accurate or less accurate if you're using that calendar.

Speaker 5:
[45:38] This is a thing. You need to know the number of days in the week. So, there are some certain instances on some documents where you'll need to know the day number. So, like 235 or whatever. So, you'll need to know the number of day of week that you were born on, and that will give you, so you just say the year in the number and you're good to go because that chills month and day at the same time, right?

Speaker 3:
[45:57] Nice.

Speaker 5:
[45:58] So, exactly. But if that's wrong, again, like you're saying, see the implications when you really start to think about this stuff. You sit here and you go a bit astrology, but like you said, timekeeping, gematria, all these other things that are based in the Gregorian calendar are then affected. So then, therefore, if number one, that's true, if we could then figure out the right calendar or at least establish a correct one, a uniform one perhaps, maybe go off Tom's for a little while or something better, then what are the implications to applying the same methods to a new calendar? That's the thing. Does it just solve all kinds of fucking mysteries in the universe? You just break the code and then everybody starts clapping, some big screen in the sky comes up and they go, you beat the escape room, you did it. So Thomas frustrated with the calendar going back to his childhood in Virginia. And he says that he had a whiteboard in his room, which was great because he wanted to always like plan out a week or a month or something. Did you get into this obsessive calendar timekeeping thing as a kid too, like organization?

Speaker 3:
[46:55] No, I'm probably the least organized person I know. Gotcha.

Speaker 5:
[46:58] And I've got to confirm, I don't know what Tom is, but I'm Virgo, so I get this. Pads, notepads, stationery, all this kind of shit. That was like my flavor of autism too. And he said, but then you have to redo it every month because a week is seven days. And that's a prime number. And you can't do stuff in even periods of time. And he said, it's just kind of madness. And he's the one that figured this out. Again, this is how Sith Lords are created. We're lucky that Tom is on the side of good for now.

Speaker 3:
[47:24] For now, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 5:
[47:26] For now. So Sherman has filed a patent for an application on a new calendar and he is waiting to hear back from the patent office. But Joe, what do you think the possible repercussions are if Tom's calendar were to take off? Let's say we bail on the Gregorian. What do you think the implications of this are?

Speaker 3:
[47:44] Like worldwide or?

Speaker 5:
[47:45] Yeah, nine day work weeks.

Speaker 3:
[47:48] I mean, it would be utter chaos, at least at the beginning. But I don't know, maybe it would even out after a while and we'd all be happy singing kumbaya.

Speaker 5:
[47:58] It's almost like we've been spinning on a merry-go-round, right? But you've got to stop the thing. But do you stop it all at once or do you slow it down so people don't go flying off of it, right?

Speaker 3:
[48:08] Exactly.

Speaker 5:
[48:08] So this would be the way, right, to integrate it a little bit at a time. Now Tom says that one of the ways he would do it would be to go to businesses and offer them a nine day work week. But really what it is, is it's up to the businesses to decide what to do. He thinks a nine day week would work so far as then you could have a six day work week and then a three day weekend.

Speaker 3:
[48:30] I'm all for that.

Speaker 5:
[48:31] Now Sherman said it's possible to eliminate leap years because the earth doesn't orbit the sun at a precise precisely 365 days or some say at all, but that's another show, Joe. Where his calendar differs is that he would not include any month or season. It would just exist to keep the calendar aligned with the seasons. He said that it could be put pretty much anywhere in the calendar, but his preference would be the middle of the summer season. That'd be like one of the longest days of the year, he said, and that sounds pretty cool. You just chuck a really long day in the middle of summer to compensate for leap year. You're going to go. He asked, why are we adding a damn extra day in the winter?

Speaker 3:
[49:09] That's the stupidest, the worst place to put it.

Speaker 5:
[49:13] It's so silly, man. So basically the five seasons, when you line them up, they start on the winter solstice and that starts on December 21st and ends on March 3rd again. Now, spring starts on March 4th, ends on May 15th, and summer begins on May 16th, and then it ends on July 27th, autumn, of course, the fifth season, then starts July 28th and ends on October 9th, and then fall begins on earth and ends on October 8th, and then fall begins on October 9th and lasts until December 20th, so that's where he's divided the season at, is he's got two in each season into two, he's split each season into two months, and then that one day right there in the middle, that mid-season day, and so, yeah, ten months a year is what it would break down to mathematically even. Hmm, pretty fucking neat.

Speaker 3:
[50:04] Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 5:
[50:05] Okay, so a couple more things on this, because he had another thing here. Okay, so he did this pitch, this really interesting quick pitch project thing that again, guys, I have linked, and this is one of those examples of get it in where you can, because this is titled Succeeding in the Special Beverage Industry with Gene Gross and Ken Valanzo, February 28th, 2019. So he's just putting this in wherever the fuck he can, and a bunch of specialty beverage industry folks were willing to listen to him and hear his pitch. Tom's calendar covers 2019 to 9999, with 10 months in a year now. And the problem with the current calendar system is that weeks and years don't coordinate well, that there's an extra day each year. So if it's Saturday next year, it'll be Monday. If it's a leap year, it'll be Tuesday and so on. Dates and days of the year only realign on 6, 11, and 11 years again. But if we throw all that out the window, and you just have to deal with this one calendar, your birthday would be on the fifth week every time. It's always on the fifth week, or the fifth day of the week. There are nine-day weeks here, and Tom likes to tell people that the two extra days are weekend days, which he says is a crowd pleaser, of course. The system would be great for comparing things since it's a better calendar system, and due to it being like a standardized ruler with a consistent length, as we said. So you can use it in any way. And data comparison and analysis, especially where you need to note time consistently, would benefit from this system. And it seems very simple when you put it out here like this.

Speaker 3:
[51:52] I bet you there's some way more overarching reasons that we don't adopt something logical like this. It probably has to do with the economy or the monetary system or something.

Speaker 5:
[52:05] And we're going to get there. Great question. That's a great question. Now, Tom's got a group of scientists that he mentions it started small, but gained momentum. He began this project alone, but he had breakthroughs in early 2017. This is when he missed the bill payment that prompted him to rethink the Gregorian calendar. Absolutely brilliant. Of course, he was sitting there just outside rant and probably he's like, man, this you put the douche in fiduciary.

Speaker 3:
[52:27] He's just all fucking pissed off.

Speaker 5:
[52:29] So he started sharing his eureka moment with people in his network that boasted scientific backgrounds and his girlfriend, now wife's dad, was a retired physics professor, which Tom found helpful. Tom gave him a copy of the prototype and he was immediately interested in the frequencies and atoms, and he was focused on how the system works. It's just a reorganization of the current system. From a second day to day, everything compounds. You have 60 seconds a minute, 60 minutes an hour, and 24 hours in a day. Beyond a year, it all becomes the same time. Tom says that the same applies to you. A year is still a year, and we still celebrate leap years on the same cycle. Decades are 10 years. There's no good way to track the internal year from day to day and year to year. It's a novel concept. And if you ask Tom what his plan is for rollout, and where does he think he'll be initially taken up? Now, he's most interested in direct applications that showcase its value and get it into the mainstream. People will understand how to use the calendar and how it will better their lives by using it for themselves, which is what I've been doing. It's actually very interesting. And he hopes for an adoption on the internal side of business to help with their operations. And after a few catch-ons, they may be able to adopt the whole calendar system, like we're talking about, sort of integrate it slowly over time. And Tom feels then it will slowly work its way into the real world. This is sort of like how the porn industry decided that VHS was going to go and continue on instead of Betamax and LaserDisc. Do you know about this?

Speaker 3:
[54:13] I've heard of it, yeah.

Speaker 5:
[54:14] The industry determined market trajectory. I looked it up for you if you'd like. So the adult entertainment industry was crucial factor in the victory of VHS over Betamax in the late 1970s and 80s, largely due to the technological superiority of VHS tapes in recording duration and licensing openness compared to both Betamax and Laserdisc. While Laserdisc offered superior image quality, its inability to record higher player costs and the adult industry's preference for affordable long-form tape media solidified the VHS format's dominance.

Speaker 3:
[54:53] Isn't that crazy that people used to literally buy pornos on VHS and like keep them in their house?

Speaker 5:
[54:59] And then record over them, and that's why they got the VHS, because they wanted to be able to record over these formats. So you could actually get any tape. You take your kid's shitty Aladdin tape when they're done with it, and they grow up, move out of the house, record your, you know, bangs 67, whatever. I actually have a brilliant porn idea. Would you like to hear it now, or would you like to go on with the story? I'm going to let you decide, sir.

Speaker 3:
[55:18] Oh, no, yeah, give me the idea.

Speaker 5:
[55:20] Okay, so Mary and I were talking one day, and we were talking about how difficult to, this was around the time that censorship was huge, right? Where people were getting canceled and all that kind of shit just for spitting truth. So what we thought about was, what wouldn't get censored? Mary and I almost, because I'm not interested in the, anything about it beyond this part, I assure you, just being writers for porns, where what we do is we interweave all of the alternative media messaging, but within pornography, so that you have messaging being repeated to a high intellect and degree. You could even weave in like the hermetic principles into one of them and shit. And people are going to walk away after shooting loads going, oh my God, I fucking learned something. Or, wow, I didn't know that, and they're going to go research something else. But what I was thinking about about this is you could make them of course entertaining. We're great writers. So you'd have like a cruise ship where Admiral Byrd's going down to the Antarctica, right? Before he flies into the inner earth, he talks to the aliens, all that kind of shit. But they bang the whole time, you know what I mean? And you have this whole great thing going on, but like all these truths are being displayed, and oh my God, Hitler's like really still alive. All these great things.

Speaker 3:
[56:22] 9-11 was an inside job. Oh, give it to me, yeah.

Speaker 5:
[56:24] Yeah, speaking of inside job, right. So yeah, and so you have all of this going on, but you are seeding truth within that, because the reason I mainly thought about this and why I'm so behind it, honestly, pun intended, is to, it's not gonna be censored. It's not gonna be something that is ripped for being too, what, vain, vulgar? What's your problem with it, buddy? People are fucking in it, you know?

Speaker 3:
[56:49] What it'll get censored for is, they'll find a way. What would it be, though?

Speaker 5:
[56:56] Not enough holes being penetrated?

Speaker 3:
[57:00] They'll call it anti-Semitic or hate speech or something. That'll be the way they'll get it canceled.

Speaker 5:
[57:04] No, but the Jews will have the Jews banging people. Like, it's gonna be everybody in it. We're gonna have a multi-layered, it's gonna be a colorful palette of folks in there just banging, you know, doing the...

Speaker 3:
[57:13] In a synagogue.

Speaker 5:
[57:14] Yeah, tasteful. So anyway, that's my idea because I feel that truth could be emitted through that medium. Just like how this decided the VHS's future, you could decide humanity's future by at least giving them something within what they were, like take it where the people are, you know what I'm saying? Don't bitch if they're not coming to you. Bring your message to them. Tom did this on a damn beer forum thing. He presents this whole new idea. So he's seeding ideas where people shouldn't be hearing this kind of shit, but he's like, I'm not going to disempower you. So same thing.

Speaker 3:
[57:44] No, a dude had a brilliant idea. He's like, what are some of the most watched videos on social media? And it's like cooking videos or recipes. So he did this thing where he's cooking and they're actually good recipes too, but he's cooking and in between these little like cut scenes where he's like talking about 9-Eleven for like little things. That's what I'm talking about. It's like two second little clips and it's interwoven in the cooking video though. It's great.

Speaker 5:
[58:10] Yeah, that, but in porn. You've got it. Yeah, that but porn. That but with just dicks and vaginas and boobies and stuff. Okay, now Tom says that another potential impact is in marketing and about 50% of wall calendars are marketing from organizers or businesses. They offer free calendars and people hang them up on their cubicles and homes. And Tom points out that this is a loss. If they use one of Tom's new calendars, they can hang on to a box of them for as long as they want and then pass them out whenever you want. And he points out that companies play with time because there's a year, a fiscal year and a fiscal quarter, which can all differ. This is what you were talking about. And this can cause confusion for accountants who often encounter varying quarter links. A precise measurement system like this can improve fiscal reporting. Then the question is, Joe, is there some sort of back calendar that is being used for fiscal recording that's really...

Speaker 3:
[59:08] I would put money on it, yeah. People at the top are using a totally different system.

Speaker 5:
[59:15] And maybe that's the only reason we feel that they are at some position of elevation to us, is because they are simply in tune more. And if you were trained to be in tune to something else, you just simply need to unlearn that and be in tune to the real thing perhaps. And maybe that would offer some new opportunities. So a precise measurement system like this can improve fiscal reporting, like we said. Retailers use the retail calendar, which focuses on weeks and it has 13 to 14 week months. They disregard the extra day at the year end, but add an extra week to one quarter every five or six years, disrupting consistency. And he notes that comparing data with such calendars can be challenging. However, the calendar's structure makes sense. And for example, December 23rd is now considered the third day of early winter, and it's called Earth within the week here. The calendar also names the nine days of the week after the planets like we talked about. And leap years are still recognized, and people born in them would still get their birthdays on February 29th, where society currently observes it, which is optimal within its calendar system. And Tom likes to celebrate leap day after midsummer, second longest day of the year. Time makes sense when viewed objectively. And the calendar has both, the new and old calendars for reference, allowing for comparisons. And they'll always stay the same, making it a perpetual calendar. So cool. Now the calendar can be used to measure data and time consistently. For instance, a baby can be said to be a month old, not just 28 days. And Tom mentioned that many proposed reforms still rely on the calendar as a mythical concept. Tom says we know what it is. We know. It's a measurement system with the standardized rules for compounding units that align with each other. However, the calendar wasn't given this system, so Tom took that route. And he believes that it's better than nothing. And he was always wanting to put invented time on his resume. I think it's great. Now Europe uses standard units of measurement for scientific measurements. He suggests that they adopt the metric calendar. The French proposed a metric calendar with 10,036 day months, but they added five days at the end of the year, disturbing its consistency. And we collectively offer thanks to Tom Sherman, this fucking hero, for solving the frustrating opportunity in disguise that has definitely seen its day. We're grateful. Definitely check out the links, guys, because he is awesome. You've got the newcalendar.com. You've also got their Facebook. And the things that we talked about and pulled from all of the deeper reference sources will be linked.

Speaker 3:
[62:15] Have you, just as an aside, have you looked up the Biblical calendar? I've never done this. And this is just an AI overview I pulled up right now. But the Biblical calendar is a lunar solar system. Months are based on lunar cycles, which are 29 to 30 days, and years on solar cycles used to determine divine appointments, agricultural seasons and festivals. It begins in the spring with the month of Abib slash Nisan, relies on the new moon sightings and adds a 13th month in 7 out of 19 years to keep seasons aligned. And listen to this, monthly timing. Months start with the sighting of the new moon, often interpreted as the first visible crescent. The calendar, or the year is anchored by agricultural milestones in Israel, such as the ripening of barley, blah, blah, blah. Day structure, days begin and end at sunset, not midnight. Right. Doesn't that make way more sense?

Speaker 5:
[63:09] Yes. Yes, it does, doesn't it? Because the day's over when the work's done, when you can't see anymore.

Speaker 3:
[63:14] It's the same inversion as starting the year in December, January, instead of when you should. You got it. Yeah, and a new day starts at midnight, like that makes no sense.

Speaker 5:
[63:27] You nailed it. Yes, and I did pull up a couple little things on the Gregorian stuff here. I was going to tease for the next one, but the Sumerian calendars that date back 3100 BC, making them the oldest. Each Sumerian month consisted of 29 or 30 days, according to the lunar cycle. And it evolved over time. Calendars have evolved to be more accurate and seasonally accurate, this thing says. Yeah, Julius Caesar introduced the Julian calendar in 46 BC, which was much better than the Roman calendar, but still shit. He added an extra date of February every four years to keep it on a schedule with seasons, the seasons they interpreted at the time. Pope Gregory XIII, fucking Roman numerals, XIII invented the Gregorian calendar in 1582, and most countries use it to this very dissel. A more accurate calculation of leap years was one of the improvements of the Gregorian calendar over the Julian year. Still shit, still absolute shit. Do you see how like, you can do better, we could just do better, but this isn't one of those things that you would probably question. There are solar calendars, there are, like you said, loony solar, which are in April, great job, thank you. There are moon calendars, you've got all kinds of stuff. And again, Ethiopia is not even in the same fucking year that we are. They look at time totally differently.

Speaker 3:
[64:41] It's very cool. Well, and it makes you, I know we kind of touched on it earlier, but why do we start year 0 or 1, AD, BC, all that thing, and now we're in the year 2026? Because of Pisces, right? Yes.

Speaker 5:
[64:56] Would that be why? What's up with the backwards thing? You know, I mean, there's that meme, I forget what it was specifically, but it was like somebody in BC going, hang on, what are we counting down to? You know, because they just see the numbers counting down.

Speaker 3:
[65:07] They're like, fuck. That's what I wonder. Like in like 5000 BC, like what did they think the date was? Isn't it in, it should be in writings somewhere, you would think.

Speaker 5:
[65:17] You think, and then this is the question, is that part of the knowledge that's hidden? Is that down in the Vatican archives and you just need to go, hey, take me to the real fucking calendar bitch. And they're like, yes, right this way. You have to know.

Speaker 3:
[65:27] No, you have to know the name of the calendar though.

Speaker 5:
[65:29] Shit.

Speaker 3:
[65:29] What is it? It's phlegm and then, you know.

Speaker 5:
[65:33] The calendar.

Speaker 3:
[65:34] The calendar.

Speaker 5:
[65:35] Yes, exactly. But we're gonna get into much more of this on the next show because there's a lot more about timekeeping and calendars and perhaps adaptations and then speculations.

Speaker 3:
[65:44] Zodiacal charts.

Speaker 5:
[65:45] Nailed it. Yeah. Differentiations. If it is altered to what end and all kinds of good shit, folks, there's still so much more to talk about, Joe.

Speaker 3:
[65:52] Hell yeah.

Speaker 5:
[65:54] Plus extension. Remind us of that if you don't mind, sir.

Speaker 3:
[65:56] Yes. So I kind of teased it on the last free show with that story about the chick just from about a month or two ago that experienced that weird other life for like however many, 20 years or something while she was in a coma and that got me back going on like NDEs and things like that. So I'm going to try to pull out a bunch of those types of stories. So it's just going to be, it's not hot chaff. It's going to be a, we'll call it a variety show of different stories.

Speaker 5:
[66:24] Okay. I like that, a variety show. We're reclaiming the hot chaff. I like it. Take it back, girl.

Speaker 3:
[66:29] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[66:30] The damn stories like that are so interesting. They raise so many questions because you're like, what was the world like? Were you guys in flying cars yet? Was it the same time period? Were the presidents the same? You want to know all these things that probably weren't important to them at the time. They're just living their lives as a family. They were probably like, oh, fuck this guy. You know, Willie Nelson's president. He was great. Something like that. I want to know the infrastructural questions about what that was.

Speaker 3:
[66:53] No wonder she was so bummed out when she got back.

Speaker 5:
[66:55] This is what I'm saying. Usually, it's better. And that's the question. It's like, if your body's in that state, where do you go? And if so, why does your body sit here and you just don't die and stay there?

Speaker 3:
[67:05] That damn silver cord.

Speaker 5:
[67:06] This is the thing. And that's, again, what I'm reading in the mundane, which we're going to get to after the next Plus Show. So anyway.

Speaker 3:
[67:12] Hell yeah.

Speaker 5:
[67:13] Great job, dude. Love your fucking face. Thanks for hanging out. And thank you guys for hanging out with this as well. If you would like to hear the Plus Show, as well as all the dope shit that we're doing on the Tuesday shows, check it out in the links below. And thank you all so much for hanging out, being so damn sweet. If you are on Plus, then we will see you here in just a little bit, but for everybody else, we'll see you next week.

Speaker 3:
[67:55] Welcome back to your Plus extension. Happy to have you here on Plus. Thanks for being here.
