## Episode Summary

Mark Zuckerberg introduced the world to Meta, a new type of Facebook located high above us in the sky. But what if there was already a Meta Verse already created that we could use to enter and create a second life and create endless World Peace?

## Idea Details

* Idea: Globe Hell Metaverse, Meta World Peace
* Creator of idea: Drew
* Purpose of idea: Um, yeah, well, uh, big news, everyone. Um, over, I guess, the last week, uh -- (Josiah: "So you're not gonna apologize for any of the stuff that --") Are you gonna apologize uh for terrorizing *me* constantly? Every single episode of the show? (Josiah: "You -- so because I have subscribed to a different belief system than you, *I'm* a terrorist?") No, but you do -- you -- (Josiah: "And that's how you view people you disagree with who are -- have different religious beliefs? They become terrorists in your eyes?") All right, let's start the episode. (Josiah: "That's interesting. I'm sorry that *you're* such a fuckin' piece of shit, and I have to deal with it. And I mean that! I'm sorry for that!") Over the last uh week, there was a big announcement -- (Josiah: "Halloweeeen!") Well that's true. But there was a big announcement from Mark Zuckerberg, who -- (Josiah: "Who's that?") Well he's formerly of Facebook. But he's now of the new company: Meta. Meta. Look! This is the new thing! (Josiah: "So is this like a Tesla?") No. (Josiah: "Kinda rhymes. Tesla.") Yes. (Josiah: "Why do people hate this guy?") He seems pimp! (Josiah: "Yeah, he's fuckin' cool! First of all, he's ripped!") Yeah! He's hot. (Josiah: "He's got a sick hairline, probably a big ol' swingin' dick.") No, look at this, though. This is coo-- this is important. See, he's entering the Metaverse. This is the Metaverse, Josiah. And it's looks like real life, but it's not quite the same! (Josiah: "So is this real??") Well, it's not quite. Look! He's pulling up, like, -- look! There's his little avatar! Now he's entering his avatar. Yeah, look at this! So, these are people from around the world, together, in virtual space. (Josiah: "So this is Facebook now? This is *FarmVille*?") Yeah! Facebook is no longer Facebook. It's now Meta, and we're soon gonna be able to enter the Metaverse, just like Mark Zuckerberg did. (Josiah: "Is that a *Spider-Man* thing?") Well, no, that was *Enter the Spider-Verse*. (Josiah: "So is this the same?") This is different, this is the Metaverse! And it's gonna be -- (Josiah: "This is DC?") No. It's neither. (Josiah: "The Metaverse is the DC *Spider-Verse*?") Well, look, maybe this will help. (Josiah: "What does 'meta' mean?") Well, look! You're gonna figure it out! (Josiah: "So what about -- so kind of -- would you say that, because we are *talking* about changing the world, while also every day of our lives putting in the work to change the world, is that uh meta?") It's a little meta! And we'll get into that a little further, OK? As you saw, he had many, many examples of meta. So meta is really nothing new. So if we look -- Mark Zuckerberg is trying to do something entirely different with Meta. But here's my point: Meta has been around. (Josiah: "When you tweet, uh, 'I just took a nasty, steaming shit and it uh -- it's covered in hair for some reason, it's in -- filling up the bowl, and it is all stinky and nasty,' and someone sa-- and it's not me -- someone says to you, 'That's a mirror,' or, 'Try turning your monitor on,' they're being uh meta?") Meta. Meta. It's meta. Um, my point is that meta has been around forever, everything is becoming meta, and the entire idea of and -- (Josiah: "Including Facebook! It -- Uh, I don't know if you saw, --") Well exactly! Mhm. (Josiah: "-- but Facebook is uh changing the name.") The entire -- the -- (Josiah: "They're changing their name to Meta.") To Meta. Exactly. The entire notion of an online space where you exist uh is *also* not new! This is from *Second Life*. This is Ray and Shayla. This is their weddin. Wedding. In uh *Second Life*, which is a video game, an online world. (Josiah: "This is not real?") This is not real. This is all created inside of a uh computer. (Josiah: "This looks like uh Fyre Fest to me.") Well, yeah, y-- this is -- and I'm gonna show you stuff that is a whole lot of more impressive than this! (Josiah: "Well I don't think Fyre Fest is very impressive. The sandwiches were... cold.") Well, but look at this, this is beautiful! It's a beautiful wedding. (Josiah: "This is beautiful! This is gorgeous!") Yeah! The women -- oh, look at those beautiful women! (Josiah: "Whoa! There's the beautiful bride. I'm getting emotional. Oh, he's so proud of his f-- he's looking over cause he's so proud of his friend for weathering the storm.") This is such a beautiful wedding. There's the beautiful bride. (Josiah: "So how is this meta?") Well, this is an entire s-- Josiah, the n-- like -- like -- this is like -- (Josiah: "How is this like *Deadpool*?") This is -- well, it's not like *Deadpool*, but it's like Mark Zuckerberg's Meta where he was flying around on that spaceship. (Josiah: "So then why'd you show me the *Deadpool*? Well how does it relate to *Deadpool*?") Because -- cause I'm saying that there's al-- I'm not at my point yet, Josiah. I'm saying there's all -- there's -- meta h-- (Josiah: "Episode 60 or whatever. Still haven't made a point yet.") Meta has been around forever and this is just another example of it! We've been in -- uh, existing in online spaces, uh living second lives in games like *Second Life* -- (Josiah: "Sometimes I think we forget about our first life!") That's right! And look at this, this is their first dance! (Josiah: "That's could be a funny -- a funny caption that you could have done on here is, uh, 'Second Life, First Wife'! Because I've would assume that this guy -- unless, of course, he is a uh divorced. Maybe it is Second Wife, I don't know.") And this is beautiful, but also, you know, there's conflict inside of this world. Conflict happens. Well, here's the thing, Josiah: I want -- instead of having the Metaverse -- Mark Zuckerberg's Metaverse, we could have -- (Josiah: "Or a *Spider-Verse*.") -- we could have our own Globe Hell Metaverse, where we can achieve world peace! Meta World Peace. Does that make sense to you?
* Timetable: No timetable was given, but since the idea was essentially just Drew asking listeners to play *Second Life* with him in the hopes that there will eventually be Meta World Peace, it can be implemented any time. Globe Con 2021 will be held at the Lust House in *Second Life*.
* Idea details:
	+ Meta has been around for a long time, long before Mark Zuckerberg's Metaverse. Instead of having that, we will have a Globe Hell Metaverse, wherein we can achieve world peace, or Meta World Peace.
	+ There will be better skins for your avatars in the Globe Hell Metaverse, in terms of resolution and quality, not in terms of skin color or melanin.
	+ The Globe Hell Metaverse will be in *Second Life*. By having this meta renaissance in *Second Life* ahead of Meta's launch, we will be able to stop Mark Zuckerberg in his tracks.
	+ Ultimately, Meta World Peace is about *Second Life* in 2021 with the Games app and what we can do with that game, with the new avatars, and with the new skins. There are a lot of new things going on in *Second Life* right now so it would be stupid of Josiah and Drew to not do an episode about *Second Life*.
	+ Getting into *Second Life* right now in 2021 is a huge opportunity. We will all go in there and meet one another and no longer just exist. We will tweet at each other, DM each other, and message each other on the Discord no more, because we will meet up in the Globe Hell Metaverse inside of *Second Life* and create Meta World Peace.
	+ If we can create Meta World Peace inside of *Second Life*, we will also be able to do it inside of World Wide.
	+ Most millennials and Gen Z will be unable to buy their own home because of capitalism, but they will have their own home inside of *Second Life*.
	+ This episode was one big ad for *Second Life*, as confirmed by Drew, though he did not have a promo code to share with listeners. He just wants more people to play *Second Life* with him.
	+ Josiah and Drew will not make money for the Globe Hell Metaverse.
	+ There is no war and you cannot do war in *Second Life*. You just go around and collect items and meet people and find different places like sex clubs, because it's mostly sex clubs.
	+ You have to work out to maintain a good body in *Second Life*.
	+ There is an Apple Store in *Second Life*.
	+ You need money and currency to play *Second Life*, but you do not need to put as much money into it as Drew has put into it so far (just over $7,000).
	+ Josiah will think on whether he will sign up for *Second Life*; he hadn't made up his mind by the end of the episode.
	+ Globe Con 2021, the Globe Hell fan meet-up, will be held at the Lust House in *Second Life*, though Josiah doesn't think he can make it.

## Devil Play

* Josiah played devil out of worry for cost versus satisfaction after Drew told him he spent just over $7,000 on *Second Life* so far and after reading many negative reviews involving whipping sheds and people getting Crohn's disease.
	+ Drew responded that he has sex in this world.
	+ After reading several more reviews, Josiah strongly suggested that they need to have an age gate for the Globe Hell Metaverse because of how many times he saw the word 'trafficking' come up in reviews.
	+ Drew emphatically stated that *Second Life* is not a trafficking site.

## Notable Events

* Josiah and Drew, as coworkers, started the episode having a townhall because Globe Hell Warning is their job and they are workers. They watched the following videos:
	+ "You know these types of coworkers. If not, you may be one of them!" about how you know these types of coworkers.
	+ "There Are Three Types Of Toxic Coworkers—Here's How To Deal With Them | CNBC Make It." about three strategies you can use to deal with difficult people in your life.

## Trivia

* This is the second episode idea to revolve around a video game, after Episode 20: World Wide Video Game.
	+ Note: Part of the implementation of World Wide Video Game involves the cancelation of all other video games. Presumably, that rule does not apply to *Second Life*, which seems almost identical to World Wide Video Game except that it's multiplayer instead of single player.
* This is the second episode with the word 'World' in the episode title that does not have the word 'Wide' in the episode title as well, after Episode 14: World Wife.
