Speaker 1: the world of one upsmership, there is there a build,
Speaker 1: meaning a PC build. Is that? Yeah? That on it
Speaker 1: right now? Behold the The audience can't see it, but
Speaker 1: I'm working on what looks like a space station. It's
Speaker 1: a piece to see it in their mind. This is
Speaker 1: the audio medium. So absolutely, yeah, it does look like
Speaker 1: you are in the light Year module that he flies
Speaker 1: around in. When Daniel installed it, I was like, so
Speaker 1: it's going to have those lights all the time, and
Speaker 1: he was like, oh yeah, this thing. Yeah, it's gonna
Speaker 1: have lights forever. Like it's just lights all the time.
Speaker 1: It has, it has rims that spin constantly. Yes, it
Speaker 1: has hydraulics. I think I didn't think you needed it
Speaker 1: looks basically the same lighting inside of a Hummer Limo
Speaker 1: that would pick up kids for problem. Yeah, And it
Speaker 1: reminded me of the first Fast and Furious like the
Speaker 1: Street and the First Fast and Furious when where they
Speaker 1: got the ground effects of the undo? Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Well are are you Adam as a filmmaker? How are you?
Speaker 1: How do you feel about bos Lehman and uh and Elvis?
Speaker 1: So it just looks weird. It just looks weird. I
Speaker 1: like bos Lehman's thing. I don't always like his thing
Speaker 1: that I don't know, uh that Elvis looks bizarrely like
Speaker 1: a doll or something like he like he Like, I
Speaker 1: feel like something about the Elvis character looks unreal to me,
Speaker 1: you know, and that's weird, But that also makes me
Speaker 1: want to see it more, like to see like what
Speaker 1: did he do? Man? What hap? What? So cool? Stuff? Though, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so That's what part of me is like. It
Speaker 1: feels at the very least it will entertain me from like, wow,
Speaker 1: he really he really went and fuck that one up? Huh,
Speaker 1: and just the entertainment of that, or to be pleasantly surprised,
Speaker 1: like because that trailer where his like air fucking was
Speaker 1: like setting off the brains of the people in the audience.
Speaker 1: I was like that just like focuses in on him,
Speaker 1: like violently humping a pop. Always wanted to read the
Speaker 1: script like how that scene was written like and how
Speaker 1: there was like and then as he gyrates his hips,
Speaker 1: like something takes over the audience. Yeah, into your audience's mind.
Speaker 1: Explosions happening, but they look shiny, right. It feels like
Speaker 1: it feels like the early baas Lehman is like when
Speaker 1: good drug experiences happened, and this feels this feels like
Speaker 1: the bad kind. This feels this feels like, oh no,
Speaker 1: I've taken too much or too little or the wrong
Speaker 1: kind and now I am having a waking fever dream.
Speaker 1: So also, you know, shout out to someone from changing
Speaker 1: their name from Mark to bass. That's also another thing
Speaker 1: I just want to say, big fan of that he
Speaker 1: went from me Marman. Maybe sounds too much like Mark
Speaker 1: Furman after the OJ trial. That's a point, like cuss
Speaker 1: he could have like got like, you know, something that
Speaker 1: was part of Mark or Marcus, but Marcus Lehman. But
Speaker 1: who knows. I wonder if that's like a like a
Speaker 1: thing like you know, because he's from Australia, isn't he
Speaker 1: believes so like you know, it is it's like a
Speaker 1: nickname because they said he looked like Basil Brush. I
Speaker 1: don't know what that is. I mean that's from the English.
Speaker 1: That also, that might be hindsight, right, that might be him,
Speaker 1: like try to justify it in the aftermath and Basil
Speaker 1: Brush is a red fox puppet. That's not fun. Oh
Speaker 1: so they were working with him. Yeah, wow, Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the guy I want to see do a space movie.
Speaker 1: What is buzz lermit in space? What is that? It's
Speaker 1: a whole his whole Wikipedia, there's a whole section and
Speaker 1: his name evolved. You seem positively gazumped by this. Smiles. No,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna gazump him by airing out the I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to utilize gazump as much as possible in
Speaker 1: my day to day conversation. But have you heard the
Speaker 1: phrase gazump had him not enough? I mean I've I've
Speaker 1: heard it three times now and I hope to hear
Speaker 1: it much more. No, I have not strongly Ballroom. Anybody
Speaker 1: who hasn't gone back and watched Strictly Ballroom, which is
Speaker 1: like his first big movie. It rules like, that's a
Speaker 1: really good movie about ballroom dancing, and it's still very good.
Speaker 1: I had no idea that was from him. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: how we know who he is. But if if you
Speaker 1: go back and watching, oh I see, I see how
Speaker 1: he was going to become this, this shiny, splendid man.
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, I just took my first sip of
Speaker 1: mountain dew flame and hot. Wait, okay, so you're doing
Speaker 1: it as we're just gonna check. It is not going
Speaker 1: to be an event. I'm not gonna I don't think
Speaker 1: anyone's that in mountain dew flaming hot, which is do
Speaker 1: with a blast of heat and citrus flavor with other
Speaker 1: natural flavors. It's uh, it's fine. It's not my favorite.
Speaker 1: I was confused as to how they were going to
Speaker 1: incorporate heat, But as I drank it, I realized that,
Speaker 1: you know, I love a good ginger beer. Now that
Speaker 1: I don't drink booze anymore, I love a good ginger
Speaker 1: beer because it's got a little kick, and this this
Speaker 1: reminds me of that a little bit, a little ginger
Speaker 1: flame but then like a cayenne like peppery, like fuck
Speaker 1: you yeah, okay, got it. Yeah, they can't get away
Speaker 1: with that. There's no too many white people ding mountain. Yeah,
Speaker 1: almost exclusively. I mean person like me to be like,
Speaker 1: oh spicy, and I'm like the fund is this tastes
Speaker 1: like fireball or something? It does. It tastes like the
Speaker 1: very beginning of fireball. Now yeah, it's yeah. It's rounded
Speaker 1: off though in the way that all mountain dew flavors are.
Speaker 1: It doesn't. It never has like a bad aftertaste, never
Speaker 1: like lingers too long. It rounds off quickly and it's
Speaker 1: it's fine. Let me get a let me get a
Speaker 1: flaming hot and fireball slame mountain. I'd be worried. That
Speaker 1: would instantly kill me, you know. I mean, like I
Speaker 1: just be worried, like the weight on the heart that
Speaker 1: that thing's got to do to you after a certain
Speaker 1: as just like right, I mean I got to think
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, yeah, that's cool, man. I get you
Speaker 1: see through you see through my spinny spinny baseball cap
Speaker 1: and lollipop that I tried to wear to make everybody
Speaker 1: think I'm you. I speak only for myself Jack, as
Speaker 1: a former smoker, but I would die instantly if I
Speaker 1: adjusted that that's great that you quit smoking. I haven't
Speaker 1: hung around with you in a while five years, hey man,
Speaker 1: we haven't hung out with you because of all the
Speaker 1: cigarettes smoked, but honestly couldn't take it. Man, it was
Speaker 1: a lot you were smoking all the time, like around
Speaker 1: my kids, my pregnant wife. Like I was like, you
Speaker 1: were like, well, then I guess she needs to get
Speaker 1: out of here. When I was like, Adam, she needs
Speaker 1: the bests. Then on her stomach, Oh, I guess you
Speaker 1: don't want to have have a cool baby. Alright, Adam, We're
Speaker 1: gonna get to know you a little bit better in
Speaker 1: a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a couple
Speaker 1: of things we're talking about. We're gonna talk about some
Speaker 1: gun laws that we might get and what you know,
Speaker 1: like how hardcore those laws are according to the mainstream media.
Speaker 1: And then in reality, we're gonna talk about what what
Speaker 1: is holding it up um, which is kind of entertaining
Speaker 1: and horrifying. We're gonna talk about the Biden maybe shouldn't
Speaker 1: run chorus getting louder. We're gonna talk about how Disney
Speaker 1: castrated buzz light Year by not letting Tim Allen play
Speaker 1: him m M and according to Patricia Heaton, bringing the
Speaker 1: heat and takes. And then we're gonna talk about Matt
Speaker 1: damon the face of crypto fucker all that, plenty more,
Speaker 1: or maybe some of that and plenty more. But first, Adam,
Speaker 1: we do like to ask our guest, what is something
Speaker 1: from your search history? Well, the most recent thing I
Speaker 1: searched was the lyrics to Tiny Dancer, of course, but
Speaker 1: but after but before that, it was a cheap Cavalier
Speaker 1: King Charles Spaniel. Because I'm I keep edging over the
Speaker 1: pandemic about whether I'm going to buy a dog or not.
Speaker 1: The latest reason I've decided not to do is they're
Speaker 1: so expense How does that work? Edging? Because I keep like,
Speaker 1: are you doing something else? Okay, okay, I'm so you're
Speaker 1: considering buying a consider it? Yeah, considering. And then like
Speaker 1: I get almost to the point where I fill out
Speaker 1: the application, I'm like, ah, got they have to eat
Speaker 1: and walk. I don't know if I want to do
Speaker 1: both of those things, you know, the handwalk. It's too much,
Speaker 1: too much for So then the latest reason that I
Speaker 1: was like, maybe if I find a very cheap dog,
Speaker 1: So I looked for a cheap put that. Make sure
Speaker 1: you put that in the search. The initially filter it
Speaker 1: out filtering the old Cavalier King yeah, like shit shitty cavalier.
Speaker 1: King Charles Great, be great. I'm looking for be Grade
Speaker 1: used dogs and he used dogs to purchase. I did
Speaker 1: not find one to was less than a thousand dollars
Speaker 1: because apparently dogs are there's a major markup on dogs
Speaker 1: right now. That's why just rescuing and that dog you
Speaker 1: can get free. I so I hopefully my landlord doesn't
Speaker 1: listen to podcasts. We are not allowed a dog in
Speaker 1: this complex, which is why I need a very I
Speaker 1: need a quiet dog I can get away with. That's
Speaker 1: like the one restriction. So these were a quiet breed.
Speaker 1: I was told that is uh. I will say those
Speaker 1: were the dogs that we had when we had dogs
Speaker 1: and our I P Miles, r I P Finn r
Speaker 1: I p Emma. This is not like we we went
Speaker 1: through three dogs over the course of the pandemic. This
Speaker 1: is over the course of my wife and I being
Speaker 1: married for you know, fifteen years. But the one of
Speaker 1: the most stressful times of my life was being in
Speaker 1: a apartment where we were not allowed to have dogs
Speaker 1: and our dog was very quiet, but like just having
Speaker 1: to smuggle him in and out every single time, right
Speaker 1: a ship and then like having to like, you know,
Speaker 1: every everybody you walked past, you were like, are they an?
Speaker 1: Are they going to narc on me? So now I
Speaker 1: feel like go outside the walls of the apartment complex
Speaker 1: and then you know, put on a disguise so that
Speaker 1: they don't know it's me, right, and then you like
Speaker 1: start to resent your dog. It's tough man, So good
Speaker 1: luck though, good luck, thank you. It sounds like I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have a great time. I have to do the
Speaker 1: whole like, oh where did I get this dog from?
Speaker 1: If the landlord drives up or whatever, you throw it
Speaker 1: at them, it looks like you have a dog. What
Speaker 1: is something you think is overrated? People aren't gonna like
Speaker 1: this one. I'm sorry, but I think The Northman's a
Speaker 1: little underrated. So you're you're going underrated? No, I am not.
Speaker 1: It is over again. Sorry, Yes, forgive me if I
Speaker 1: said it wrong. The Northman's a little overrated. Okay. I
Speaker 1: know I've never seen it, so I'm not offended. I
Speaker 1: don't want to spoil everything, but I can voice my
Speaker 1: critique of it very briefly. It is that there's the
Speaker 1: protagonist isn't active, which I know is very film schoolly,
Speaker 1: but like it's an issue. We're kind of waiting for
Speaker 1: him to do something for like about an hour in
Speaker 1: the movie, and you're like, well, and then people have
Speaker 1: been upset about it being an all white movie, and
Speaker 1: then there's been the backlash about you know, well it's Vikings.
Speaker 1: And my backlash to that is they got Bjork as
Speaker 1: a blind crow wizard, So I don't think they needed
Speaker 1: to like get super like historically accurate with this movie.
Speaker 1: I think they could think they could have maybe branched
Speaker 1: that a little bit. Uh So that's kind of you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's also like we're not telling
Speaker 1: a real story, you know, like let's you know, let's
Speaker 1: get past that. I think, right, So it is it
Speaker 1: is based on I haven't seen it. I do know
Speaker 1: that it's based on Hamlet, which Hamlet pretty passive or
Speaker 1: pretty not active as far as protagonists go. But because
Speaker 1: of the Shakespearean lane, which because of like how good
Speaker 1: he is that. I don't know if you've heard of
Speaker 1: this guy Shakespeare, but he's pretty good at like bringing
Speaker 1: the interiority of his characters out so that you can
Speaker 1: like kind of ride with them, and like like Michelle Gondry, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but like yeah, yeah, but they don't quite carry it
Speaker 1: off the same way they do in Hamlet, which is
Speaker 1: my favorite movie Hamlet because I'm I'm very well educated.
Speaker 1: Kenneth Brown on one is just just so exactly the play. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Hamlet is an interesting character, but because he tells you
Speaker 1: what he thinks, when you don't have that, it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's not by the way, it's not bad. I just
Speaker 1: think the people who are hype about it are not
Speaker 1: a little bit over What do they mean? What are
Speaker 1: the reasons people are hyped about it because it's Superman
Speaker 1: anything like this. It is very metal. There is a
Speaker 1: naked volcano fight in it. There is there is a
Speaker 1: actual capturing a village, lots of one shot, you know,
Speaker 1: which is very cool. And it looks period accurate, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's it's intense. So I don't want to take
Speaker 1: that away from it. It is all those things. But
Speaker 1: I really like Robert Eggers. What's your favorite Eggers? The Lighthouse?
Speaker 1: Have you guys see the Lighthouse? The Lighthouse? You do
Speaker 1: not like it? I'm excited. I'm excited to see The Northman,
Speaker 1: but I just like never it's hard to see movies
Speaker 1: when you got kids. Like I just never like the
Speaker 1: timing never lined up, so I was very excited to
Speaker 1: see it. And I really liked the Lighthouse. I really
Speaker 1: liked the witch which and yeah, I think he does
Speaker 1: a good job of like making history as weird as
Speaker 1: it probably was, barring any crow wizards. I like his
Speaker 1: weird witchcraft thing, like, I like that. I like that
Speaker 1: it keeps popping up in all of his movies, like
Speaker 1: the Lighthouse was fantastic, like the weird sea shanties and
Speaker 1: stuff like count me In, Captain Bullshit, count me In.
Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah, and then it was like lies probably,
Speaker 1: but yeah it I loved it. So I'm excited, and
Speaker 1: you're it's it's the my favorite type of overrated when
Speaker 1: I still like, I'm excited to see that now because okay,
Speaker 1: good good yeah yeah, so yeah, and I don't expect
Speaker 1: it to be perfect, so I'm excited. What something do
Speaker 1: you think is underrated, Adam? So I have one obvious
Speaker 1: one which came to me first, which was David Lynch's
Speaker 1: weather reports. Are you guys? Are you guys today? Friday
Speaker 1: June in Los angele can believe it? Yeah, just with
Speaker 1: this with his numbers of the day, it's just I
Speaker 1: love his I love his weird bullshit. But the one
Speaker 1: that I think is a little bit more fun is
Speaker 1: that the game Cyberpunk seven, a game that has become
Speaker 1: become just so maligned because of the botched launched, So
Speaker 1: you guys probably even heard about it. I imagine, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I game, but I stayed a weight from it because
Speaker 1: I remember everyone's like, dude, if you if you don't
Speaker 1: even like the PS five, like, well the PS five
Speaker 1: version might be better, and they're like, yeah, yeah, well
Speaker 1: it's good. It's a good game, has it. It's come
Speaker 1: back around now, and it was always it was always
Speaker 1: a pretty good game. But they also have fixed it
Speaker 1: now so that it doesn't have the major performance issues
Speaker 1: and it's just a really good game. And it's kind
Speaker 1: of one of those like, yeah, I get that people
Speaker 1: feel betrayed, but like, just play it. You'll have like
Speaker 1: you'll have a good time. And it's I love the
Speaker 1: cyberpunk vibe in general, and you know, so if you're
Speaker 1: into that. It's not like the deepest Harlan Ellison the
Speaker 1: East cyberpunk fiction or anything, but it's a cool game,
Speaker 1: you know, So I I recommend it for people not
Speaker 1: appreciating how good it actually is. Is it on? Is
Speaker 1: there there a discount yet? Pretty sure? Pretty sure? It's
Speaker 1: pretty cheap. Again, like they're they're trying to move it,
Speaker 1: especially on PlayStation, if you have a PlayStation, they're trying
Speaker 1: to move it. Okay, Yeah, it's a game that, like
Speaker 1: you can it's not a game you like beat in
Speaker 1: a certain number of hours like you're you're still just
Speaker 1: like playing it. Well, it does have it has a
Speaker 1: limited amount of content, but like I would say, it's
Speaker 1: about a sixty hour game. In your case, Jack, I
Speaker 1: don't know that your children will be ready for cyberpunk
Speaker 1: kind of. I wouldn't play in front of them. Hey man,
Speaker 1: throw them in the deep end, just like I taught
Speaker 1: him how to dad. Why are they getting surgery where
Speaker 1: they have metal arms and stuff? You have to explain
Speaker 1: all that, uh you know. But yeah, it's a it's
Speaker 1: a long game, and it's one of those like I
Speaker 1: think the smaller nonsense and most games is actually the
Speaker 1: best stuff in this game, like just the go take
Speaker 1: a guy who's dick malfunction to a to a robot doctor.
Speaker 1: It's funny, it's wrong quest that kind of stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: it's great the community out, Yeah, help him out. Was
Speaker 1: like that. My question, being like, you're still playing a
Speaker 1: game like a couple of years later, is kind of stupid,
Speaker 1: Like you wait, you you like that movie, but isn't
Speaker 1: it only an hour and a half long? That's over right?
Speaker 1: Why why do you still like it? Well, there are
Speaker 1: a lot of games like that, in your defense, there
Speaker 1: are games that go on and on and on. This
Speaker 1: is just not one of those games, right, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so it does have a timeline on it. Yeah, break
Speaker 1: it all right, let's take a quick break. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back, and we're back and we might get gun
Speaker 1: laws there. There's you know, I just following this from
Speaker 1: the headlines. I've read that it's sweeping gun reform, and
Speaker 1: I've also seen that it's like not not so sweeping. Um,
Speaker 1: And I just had this sneaking suspicion that if the
Speaker 1: Republicans were going to let it through, that it might
Speaker 1: not be the game changer that we were all like
Speaker 1: kind of hoping for it to be short barely if
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell's bought into it also along with Pelosi, Schumer,
Speaker 1: and Biden. But yeah, I'll just say, like we've been
Speaker 1: saying the same fucking thing for decades now, like get
Speaker 1: rid of the fucking assault weapons, very easy, right, there
Speaker 1: was like the biggest calls were for that, or like
Speaker 1: raising the age, like you know, like you're bringing up
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, jack, like how you can't
Speaker 1: fucking rent a car unless you're a certain age because
Speaker 1: they're like, we don't want to give you fucking destructive,
Speaker 1: destructive technologies and you barely could get over your favorite
Speaker 1: band break. Also the age that in Israel that where
Speaker 1: they don't allow you to buy a gun until you're twenty. Interesting.
Speaker 1: This bill does not ban a RS, it does not
Speaker 1: ban high capacity magazines. It does not raise the age
Speaker 1: to purchase a fire arm, but it does make some
Speaker 1: gun dealers have to get a couple more licenses. It
Speaker 1: does allow for authorities to look at people's juvenile records
Speaker 1: if they're buying a gun between eighteen and twenty. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's an incremental thing, but not no nowhereen you're sweeping. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's some money for school safety, a couple bucks for
Speaker 1: mental health, and more jail for gun traffickers. Got it?
Speaker 1: What does gun school safety look like? Is that guns
Speaker 1: in schools. That's the concern, right, just kind of side
Speaker 1: of an every school building looking like Commando out here
Speaker 1: that they are working with an upstart ceo by the
Speaker 1: name of Miles Dyson who's working has startups called sky Net.
Speaker 1: Yeah act yeah, yeah, yet got a family, seems like
Speaker 1: a good person. But yeah, even like we're talking a
Speaker 1: lot about that off my three options for a terminator,
Speaker 1: but like, yeah, it falls woefully short, right, and when
Speaker 1: you even here money for school safety, it's going to
Speaker 1: be for stuff that you know, like like the hardening
Speaker 1: up of a soft target type ship, rather than like
Speaker 1: addressing the just just in control, uncontrollable amount of weapons
Speaker 1: that are just circulating in the country. They are what
Speaker 1: band so the thing that we've seen work in our lifetime,
Speaker 1: like after they did they are band well in like
Speaker 1: the nineties they did one time. I'm assuming like our
Speaker 1: listeners were alive in the nineties. That might not be fair,
Speaker 1: but we've seen that work. They will not be re
Speaker 1: implementing that. No, there will not be because again we
Speaker 1: talk about this a lot. If if you can't sell
Speaker 1: assault rifles, that means gun manufacturers make less of the
Speaker 1: money's so, yeah, that arguments. So you're gonna make me
Speaker 1: stop pay selling my fucking weapons, asshole. Okay, I'll find
Speaker 1: somebody that will protect my business and I'll primarry you.
Speaker 1: You know, those are like the forces at work for
Speaker 1: a lot of these gun humping Congress people. But again
Speaker 1: it's woefully short of being transformative. But because Congress has
Speaker 1: done so little in terms of gun control, this allows
Speaker 1: like the like mesmerized journalism industry to be like, wow,
Speaker 1: this is pretty significant, sure compared to how little has
Speaker 1: been done, But that's disingenuous to act like this should
Speaker 1: provide some relief. This is just further indication that the
Speaker 1: federal government is completely incapable of tackling a big issue
Speaker 1: like this. It's all just like this incrementalism. While again
Speaker 1: it wasn't enough that like thirty one people died in
Speaker 1: mass shootings between Buffalo and NuVal Day, and this is
Speaker 1: still like that energy is already, you know, it seems
Speaker 1: really toward a news cycle, you know, like this seems
Speaker 1: like a decision that's geared towards like something was done,
Speaker 1: therefore we can move on, you know, like not at
Speaker 1: all addressing the serious issue here. I was, I was
Speaker 1: stunned to hear. This is the most comprehensive legislation since
Speaker 1: ninety three. Looking at like the other issues that are
Speaker 1: having on are that they're experiencing and negotiating between Democrats
Speaker 1: and Republicans right now. One of the things that's up
Speaker 1: in the air are both parties tussling over defining what
Speaker 1: an abusive partner is because there are loopholes around you know,
Speaker 1: people with domestic violence records being able to obtain weapons.
Speaker 1: This is from an AP article quote. Federal law bars
Speaker 1: people convicted of domestic violence against a spouse from acquiring guns,
Speaker 1: but leaves a loophole for other romantic relationships. Every Town
Speaker 1: for Gun Safety, which advocates firearms curbs, says thirty one
Speaker 1: states bar convicted domestic abusers from buying fire is, including
Speaker 1: nineteen that cover violent dating partners. So, but what senators
Speaker 1: are disagreeing over are how to define such relationships, which
Speaker 1: is insane. You want to protect the violent dating partners
Speaker 1: of the world. You want they need, they need, Like,
Speaker 1: how is this not a political loser for them? How
Speaker 1: is like being like, we've got to look out for
Speaker 1: the rights of people who have been convicted of domestic assault,
Speaker 1: but not the police not to. But also it's not
Speaker 1: as though the only people that are in jeopardy from
Speaker 1: like mass shootings are romantic partners. Like how about maybe
Speaker 1: if you do any violence that you're I think that
Speaker 1: you might not be how about that? Are you know?
Speaker 1: Like those are typically predictors. I feel like maybe for Democrats,
Speaker 1: Republicans are like, well, maybe most Americans can agree you
Speaker 1: shouldn't be abusing a romantic partner. And if that is
Speaker 1: off the table, to get your guns and probs like whoa, whoa,
Speaker 1: whoa whoa? What's even like? What is it like a
Speaker 1: date or like two dates? Like are you kid? It's
Speaker 1: like do you hook up? Like what's like that's what
Speaker 1: they're fucking fighting over and like Chris Murphy's like, dude,
Speaker 1: they'll like it should be if you've been convicted at all,
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what the context was. It shows that
Speaker 1: you are you are you are abusive, that you are
Speaker 1: willing to use violence to express your anger or something
Speaker 1: like that, that that should immediately What is possible argument
Speaker 1: against that? Like what what are the Republicans saying that
Speaker 1: it's okay, it's less it's less violent if you're doing
Speaker 1: it to someone who you're not married to. It's so
Speaker 1: it's so confusing, it's so transparently like wrong, but that
Speaker 1: that I don't that that it's getting held up when
Speaker 1: it should just be like again for an up and
Speaker 1: down vote, Like I'd imagine most people of good conscience
Speaker 1: would be like, yeah, if you're an abusive partner in
Speaker 1: any fucking relationship, doesn't matter, Like what were they married?
Speaker 1: Like what what? What is your mean? What is your
Speaker 1: idea even of like a violent person? If I hit
Speaker 1: my friend, I shouldn't be able to buy a gun,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like it's as simple as that,
Speaker 1: Like it's when playing video games, maybe you shouldn't know
Speaker 1: what's what's considered a control. I mean, yeah, let's let's
Speaker 1: talk about that. And what's throw like the TV on
Speaker 1: the ground up in the air. Yeah, come on, if
Speaker 1: you throw it up in the air saying whoopy, then
Speaker 1: that's okay. But if you throw it while uttering an expletive,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't want you to have a gun.
Speaker 1: This feels like the Vince mcman coro Larry by the way,
Speaker 1: I'm sneaking that story and like like how like this
Speaker 1: feels like the kind of debate that's happening among people
Speaker 1: who pay for n D as you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: or like or like have mistresses or whatever, like why
Speaker 1: I want to still be able to hit my mistress?
Speaker 1: How are we going to get it? And I have
Speaker 1: so many guns? How can I keep my world the
Speaker 1: way it is? You know, it reveals like just sort
Speaker 1: of how normalized that thinking is too, that like immediately
Speaker 1: the idea of violence or domestic abuse isn't like Nope,
Speaker 1: that's it, that's it, Like that's I don't give a ship.
Speaker 1: Most people aren't violent like that to act like to
Speaker 1: try and make excuses for that only furthers just like
Speaker 1: sort of dark cloud that we have and wondering like
Speaker 1: when the next thing is going to happen, and um,
Speaker 1: you know we again like we have to just reduce
Speaker 1: the number of these fucking war guns that we have
Speaker 1: like that that that just get in the hands of whoever.
Speaker 1: But again, every you see everything that's happening, like I said,
Speaker 1: it means massive profits profit losses for gunmakers. So then
Speaker 1: that's that's not that's not right. Then they'll say it's
Speaker 1: a mental health issue, But we aren't seeing anything that
Speaker 1: resembles like a massive overhaul of how we look at
Speaker 1: mental health access in the country. So miss me with that.
Speaker 1: And if anything, this bill has probably just created more
Speaker 1: potential prisoners. Like that's where they're like, well, well there's
Speaker 1: that because if we go too far then it becomes
Speaker 1: a problem. I mean, mental health is such a red
Speaker 1: herring right where it's like, sir, solve that too, well,
Speaker 1: then okay, if you can't do guns. It's like the
Speaker 1: word comprehensive, and this is the most comprehensive gun reform.
Speaker 1: That's a bit. That's a big word. What what do
Speaker 1: we know? It has the most laws right and again,
Speaker 1: like it just feel like put your effort in that
Speaker 1: that that would have untold benefits, even if not to
Speaker 1: say like forget gun control, but like, if you're that serious,
Speaker 1: actually take that, take that challenge up and try and
Speaker 1: create like beneficial access for people who have who would
Speaker 1: need mental health support. Like you would see that that
Speaker 1: effect pretty clearly over like the course of the years
Speaker 1: of a program like that. But again, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't they'd rather just say there's some money there and
Speaker 1: keep it moving. While essentially, because here's the deal, both
Speaker 1: parties know they're gonna get fucking heat for doing funk
Speaker 1: all again, like Republicans, you know, whether or they fear
Speaker 1: their own voters, but independence not voting for them, or
Speaker 1: Democrats definitely hearing it from the base or you know,
Speaker 1: parts of the base being like, what the funk is
Speaker 1: going on over there? So they are it's not like
Speaker 1: in the rite up so like, and they're doing their
Speaker 1: best to conclude a deal because both parties are motivated
Speaker 1: to get a deal done in time for the July
Speaker 1: fourth recess. God, and then you're like, you fucking losers. Really, well,
Speaker 1: we have summer fridays. Uh, so we're gonna be taking
Speaker 1: out Fridays and then of course recess July fourth, at
Speaker 1: which point we will not be working. We can't work
Speaker 1: in the summer. It's so hot. You can't dodd, you
Speaker 1: can't even think, you see how we have to dress. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's the current back and forth with our
Speaker 1: quote unquote gun control legislation. Well, from my end, I've
Speaker 1: now taste test Amountain Dew spark. It delivers on promised stuff,
Speaker 1: favorite profile of Raspberry limb ade and as with most
Speaker 1: Mountain Dew flavors, it requires willpower for me to stop
Speaker 1: myself from drinking the whole bottle. It's it's it's liquid candy.
Speaker 1: It's too it's too good. It should also be banned.
Speaker 1: But does it leave a good taste in your mouth?
Speaker 1: Or is it one of those things you gotta keep
Speaker 1: drinking it to avoid that taste? You know, it's a
Speaker 1: I've always felt like Mountain dew finishes very clean compared
Speaker 1: to other sodas. Yeah, personally, so this is this is
Speaker 1: no different. It's just you know, it feels almost like
Speaker 1: you're drinking liquid sugar, which is what you are doing.
Speaker 1: So Flame and Hot has two eighty calories per bounce bottle.
Speaker 1: The Spark has two, So they've really sugared that one
Speaker 1: up too. But you know, let's let's talk real quick.
Speaker 1: There just seems to be more mainstream adoption of the
Speaker 1: storyline should by really run again for president? There there's
Speaker 1: this Atlantic article that's like quoting anonymous senior administration officials,
Speaker 1: but it's it's just generally it has the vibe of
Speaker 1: like checking in with an elderly relative who you're just like,
Speaker 1: it's only a matter of time, you know, How's how's
Speaker 1: he holding up? How's he doing? In this case I'll
Speaker 1: just read like the you know, at first it opens
Speaker 1: like people are like, yeah, he's doing great. You know,
Speaker 1: he seems good for his age, for his age. He
Speaker 1: you know, he's little down in the dumps because his
Speaker 1: approval rating is lower than he wants it to be.
Speaker 1: And then it comes with this paragraph. But there's another
Speaker 1: recurring theme I keep hearing, notably from people predisposed to
Speaker 1: liking the president. He just seems old. Administration official told
Speaker 1: me that the social function a few weeks ago, there's
Speaker 1: nothing like the U. S. Presidency to accelerate the aging process.
Speaker 1: This is has been well documented, usually in those side
Speaker 1: by side photos of spry incoming presidents seen next to
Speaker 1: dramatically older looking who live here. Yeah right, Yeah, Yet
Speaker 1: Biden keeps insisting he will run again. The White House
Speaker 1: reaffirmed as much on Monday night via tweet from the
Speaker 1: President's press secretary. So that was this past not yesterday,
Speaker 1: but the day before to be clear, as the President
Speaker 1: has said repeatedly he plans to run in She wrote,
Speaker 1: it was an instant classic in the genre of political
Speaker 1: statements that raised far more questions than the one they
Speaker 1: were supposedly meant to answer. Yeah, man, I mean like this,
Speaker 1: this one seems pretty open and shut. Nobody's gonna be Nope.
Speaker 1: Look bro, nobody be mad at you just announced. Now
Speaker 1: give people time to be like, oh, maybe we could
Speaker 1: use a little bit of more left, or you played
Speaker 1: the cards close and you know, you have the the
Speaker 1: GOP thinking they're going right after Biden and whatever blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. But either way, I mean, like, good fucking
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm concerned because I remember how much they
Speaker 1: lined up behind them during the primaries, and I'm concerned
Speaker 1: that these can that these kinds of opinions. They're not
Speaker 1: gonna primary um, you know what I mean, Like yeah,
Speaker 1: like and they should. It's like Trump. It's like the
Speaker 1: same thing with Trump. Right, So it's privately Republicans are
Speaker 1: you know, murmuring that they they are afraid that him
Speaker 1: being at the top of the ticket will negatively affect
Speaker 1: the party's chances in an election. Yeah, but like you
Speaker 1: have to get the buying of every Like it's not
Speaker 1: just the people in Congress or the d NC, there's
Speaker 1: a whole donor class. You also have to get their
Speaker 1: buying on or else they're gonna be like, no, we
Speaker 1: want corp bo man to run for president. You talking
Speaker 1: about you're gonna run this m But these are things
Speaker 1: we get a little weird. Donors have to be like,
Speaker 1: there's a global pandemic. Uh, there's a there's a war
Speaker 1: in Europe, there's inflation running out of control, there's fascism
Speaker 1: on the right. Let's get somebody younger who is ready
Speaker 1: to meet any of the challenges, and he's like eighty yeah. Experience.
Speaker 1: That's how I love the experience. Like I love the
Speaker 1: fact that the if you just like, if his memories
Speaker 1: had weight and you took like the weight of all
Speaker 1: everything in his head, they would place you sometime like
Speaker 1: in the mid seventies. I love that that, like that
Speaker 1: that his entire life experience puts him completely out of
Speaker 1: step with the massive challenges higher times. But we need
Speaker 1: the president to be able to deal with to use
Speaker 1: like video game analogy. That's like being like, we need
Speaker 1: the world's best Donkey Kong player to come in and
Speaker 1: funk these kids up and call of duty because they
Speaker 1: have video game experience. I'm like, the game has fucking changed.
Speaker 1: There's no barrel stop. That's not happening. This person will
Speaker 1: fucking crumble when they get that controller in their hand,
Speaker 1: because it's a completely different skill set, a completely different
Speaker 1: set of challenges, a completely different level of awareness that
Speaker 1: you have to have. And this guy only I'm honest,
Speaker 1: honestly the poorest person. He probably knows he's like his grandchild,
Speaker 1: you know. And I'm still firmly in the camp of
Speaker 1: like better Democrats than outright fascists. But like I just
Speaker 1: even if you're operating from that perspective, like we just
Speaker 1: we we need a Democrat still in the White House,
Speaker 1: this is not this is not it. Like there's there's
Speaker 1: nothing he's gonna do that's going to reinvigorate like people's
Speaker 1: support for him. For this like version of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: You need to like go left and young, further left
Speaker 1: and younger. He doesn't realize that there is no going
Speaker 1: back to pre Like that's the fact that he can't reconcile,
Speaker 1: you know, Like the landscape is permanently this way. You know.
Speaker 1: I remember when we used to be able to eat
Speaker 1: lunch together and right, great, But that's also when I
Speaker 1: was saying real problematic stuff about African Americans kind of
Speaker 1: came knock around. Now I've evolved a bit. You're like
Speaker 1: what the fuck again? His whole track record is like
Speaker 1: you are from a bygone era. You somehow, you, your
Speaker 1: corporal existence has managed to get to this point. But
Speaker 1: it's that's not enough. That's not enough, and again where
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to see how any of we get
Speaker 1: the kind of candidate we need within the frame, the
Speaker 1: existing framework of the two party system, Like it's but
Speaker 1: he's not going to do it. He's not gonna do
Speaker 1: it himself. Like he's not gonna come through and like
Speaker 1: just be like, yeah, you know what I thought it
Speaker 1: through and I'm you know, he's not gonna come out
Speaker 1: here like Jumbo and be like you go ahead, Bobby Kennedy,
Speaker 1: like you you got this thing? Or could you imagine
Speaker 1: like one of his great great grandkids who's like on TikTok,
Speaker 1: like makes a video roasting him, and he somehow sees
Speaker 1: it and he's like just a single treet here goes
Speaker 1: down his face. He's like maybe I'm maybe I'm all
Speaker 1: it is all bad. Yeah, maybe I'm fine. That's what
Speaker 1: it would take. Like his family. Yeah, I don't. I mean,
Speaker 1: how many presidents have ever voluntarily not run twice? I
Speaker 1: think it's just LB J like I think that's it
Speaker 1: had Uh, he did not volunteer voluntarily. He just got
Speaker 1: rinsed Reagan. But like lb J is like the like
Speaker 1: that that's who I'm thinking of. I'm like, I'll be
Speaker 1: you know. He had the part of the administration that
Speaker 1: he finished after Kennedy was assassinated. Then he he had
Speaker 1: a full administration, and then he bowed out like unexpectedly
Speaker 1: ahead of his he could have run for a second term.
Speaker 1: But then, like he he was also at a point
Speaker 1: in his life where he was just like fuck it.
Speaker 1: Like apparently the day his like his last day in office,
Speaker 1: he his daughter like remembers like he started smoking and
Speaker 1: she was like what are you doing And he's like,
Speaker 1: I quit smoking five years ago for you guys, and
Speaker 1: I quit drinking and that's over. Now I'm living for me.
Speaker 1: And then like he was dead like two years like
Speaker 1: everybody show your scars, your stars, all of you. Yeah
Speaker 1: it was, And I just I feel like Biden doesn't
Speaker 1: have that in him. He's just like a he's just
Speaker 1: gonna keep kind of bopping because he wanted it. That's
Speaker 1: what it is, is totally right. It's because he wanted
Speaker 1: if he wants so bad for so long. You know,
Speaker 1: he's not gonna he's not gonna give up his favorite toy.
Speaker 1: And he's optimistic. I mean, look at these Cheerios commercials, Jack,
Speaker 1: you go there. I see a Siamese woman with and
Speaker 1: it was some else and they were selling yogurt. Progress
Speaker 1: baby kids are kids are great at It's a kind
Speaker 1: of a larky I can get behind, you know, I
Speaker 1: play it square Jack, Uh huh, all right, man, So hopely.
Speaker 1: I don't know how how this is accomplished other than
Speaker 1: somebody coming through and primarying him. And that does give
Speaker 1: me hope, because I do think there's way more like
Speaker 1: energy for a left of mainstream Democrat candidate than they
Speaker 1: realize there is. And it's probably like I'm hoping somebody
Speaker 1: like AOC or something just comes through and primaries him
Speaker 1: and they see like how much energy there is. Because
Speaker 1: but like anything where he says, okay, I'm not running
Speaker 1: and the like mainstream Democratic party gets to like put
Speaker 1: their candidate together is not going to go great. Like
Speaker 1: who would that be? Who would they put? Would they
Speaker 1: put Kamala? Yeah, it'd be I don't know, God, I
Speaker 1: don't even want to think about it, they're all they're
Speaker 1: all uniquely not great. But again, at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, honestly, someone who at least understands, Look, I'm
Speaker 1: willing not I don't know if I'm going to say
Speaker 1: that now, but would hope that the next slight shift
Speaker 1: they give is realized that poor people are suffering in
Speaker 1: the United States and that is something that would need
Speaker 1: to be addressed. You have to go all in, because
Speaker 1: they don't. They never do, but maybe like, uh, something
Speaker 1: slightly better, it might help you. But at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, it feels I'm just so cynical because
Speaker 1: they know right now they have a lot of people
Speaker 1: scared with like this binary of like, oh, you're gonna
Speaker 1: let this ship happen, alright, so settle for nothing? Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: I think the economic disparity, it remains neglected like it was.
Speaker 1: It was a huge issue in sixteen. It's worse now,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, and nobody's interested in
Speaker 1: addressing it head on except for some a younger candidate.
Speaker 1: And at one point it's going to become untenable to
Speaker 1: not address it, you know, Like, so maybe that moment
Speaker 1: is now, well, the fascists are going to address or later.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what Trump did in twice sixteen. He
Speaker 1: just like didn't do shit about it when he was
Speaker 1: a popula. Yeah, that's all you got do, because they
Speaker 1: don't realize that there's a huge gaping wound, open wound
Speaker 1: in most American people that if you press it energizes them.
Speaker 1: But if it's pressed the wrong way, yeah, you push
Speaker 1: them towards fascism. But most people are willing to accept.
Speaker 1: I it is so hard to live in this country
Speaker 1: right now. It is so hard to live in this
Speaker 1: country right now. And any other ship that's like papering
Speaker 1: that over and talking about like, oh, look at our
Speaker 1: energy independence, that doesn't mean ship to most people, like really,
Speaker 1: and so you're if you surrender the whole narrative to
Speaker 1: be able to express to people that you understand what's
Speaker 1: going on, dude, that just leaves the space, like you're
Speaker 1: saying for someone to come in and say, it's I
Speaker 1: and only I who can solve this, and let me
Speaker 1: point my fingers at the four groups we need to
Speaker 1: eliminate for in order for us to have Netflix cheaper.
Speaker 1: If if Tucker Carlson runs, we're fucked, or just santis
Speaker 1: even to Santis. Yeah, Santis is dude. He's slick, he's
Speaker 1: not stupid, He's he knows, he knows where Trump fucked up, right,
Speaker 1: That's the thing, and I think that's what makes it.
Speaker 1: I think that's why there's a lot of talk about
Speaker 1: him too. They're like, yo, he's on the same path,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't he knows how to be less. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's also has a ton of gas himself. But he
Speaker 1: at least was observing that Trump presidency and was like,
Speaker 1: he's competent. My god, what couldn't he do right, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: not get any pre order any vaccines for the youngest
Speaker 1: children in Florida, which is this current big boof mistake
Speaker 1: boof man, Well, boofing that just means farting. Anyways, who
Speaker 1: party with We'll be right back and we're back. And
Speaker 1: people are pissed about this light Year, not for the
Speaker 1: reasons I'm pissed, which is that I don't understand why
Speaker 1: how I just don't understand it. I present this is
Speaker 1: the movie based on Andy's favorite movie that toy was based.
Speaker 1: It's so it's a nineties movie, like that's what. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's not a nineties movie. I mean, yes, in the
Speaker 1: world of this child. It came out in the nineties,
Speaker 1: but it was made now with our modern sensibilities. So
Speaker 1: I'll just say that one of the people in this
Speaker 1: story is the drunkest I've ever seen a human being
Speaker 1: in public. I'm not gonna say which of the people
Speaker 1: it is, but Patricia Heaton was in what came out
Speaker 1: and was like toy story has castrated the buzz light
Speaker 1: year by recasting him from Tim Allen, like we need
Speaker 1: to protect our Tim Allen, huge mistake, assholes, And some
Speaker 1: right wingers seem to think that Tim Allen has been
Speaker 1: replaced by isn't because like all the reasons he's bad,
Speaker 1: not just like snitching on all the people he dealt
Speaker 1: coke with back the day, but more recently he advocated
Speaker 1: for Trump. I like how you're going after him for
Speaker 1: not having heart as a like a coke dealer. Be like, oh,
Speaker 1: because you you got them loose lips hunted him out.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I have to tighten your ass up
Speaker 1: when you on the inside. But he's also pro Trump
Speaker 1: claimed that he liked how the former president pissed people
Speaker 1: off to say, you're just the most awful fucking person
Speaker 1: in he compared being a conservative in Hollywood to being
Speaker 1: a victim of the Holocaust, So it's their favorite go to.
Speaker 1: I'm they're doing Holocaust to me. Also, Toy Story four
Speaker 1: came out after he said that ship, so I don't
Speaker 1: think like they're not the right Toy Story four it
Speaker 1: came out. I believe, Yeah, I think that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So when the trailer for light Year came out, Fox
Speaker 1: to propagate the notion that Alan was request because of politics,
Speaker 1: and they like put up a picture of Tim Allen,
Speaker 1: like very kind and clean cut, and then Chris Evans
Speaker 1: like they like darkened his hair and like made him
Speaker 1: look like like he's, you know, a Sandinista a little
Speaker 1: bit in the picture. It was dumb for like many reasons.
Speaker 1: Isn't buzz Lightyear like twenty in this story, Like yeah,
Speaker 1: so definitely young. Yeah, Alan, this is like such an
Speaker 1: open and shut conversation. Yeah, he sounds old because what
Speaker 1: this is where they just use like because no one
Speaker 1: on I mean both most people who are so partisan,
Speaker 1: they don't they're not analyzing anything. In the headline, they're
Speaker 1: like they replace him with Chris Evans. The guy woke
Speaker 1: on Twitter that's fucked up. What are they doing? How
Speaker 1: could they? And then you're going through the logic of it,
Speaker 1: was like, well, you know, this isn't the same buzz
Speaker 1: Lightyear that Tim Allen play is in Toy Story, right,
Speaker 1: because that's the little fucking toy version of this thing.
Speaker 1: But again, that might be a little too much nuance
Speaker 1: for the people who are so invested in like this,
Speaker 1: like notion that tell you who it would have been
Speaker 1: really confusing for if they used Tim Allen the toy
Speaker 1: buzz Lightyear. I mean they think about like all the
Speaker 1: issues he's had differentiating himself from the real buzz Lightyear,
Speaker 1: and then real buzz Lightyear is the same voice as him?
Speaker 1: What fucking destroy him? He wouldn't know, You wouldn't know
Speaker 1: what to do. There's also like a like cartoon series
Speaker 1: where he's voiced by Patrick Warburton for four seasons. Like Kim,
Speaker 1: Allen is also one of the most like financially successful
Speaker 1: entertainers in of the past like forty years, Like he's
Speaker 1: probably like not even taking this role if they turned
Speaker 1: it down, yea, if anything. Also, Disney Plus is currently
Speaker 1: producing a Santa Claus series starring Tim Allen, so it
Speaker 1: would be appreciate cancel him for one project while employing
Speaker 1: him to play Santa Claus And where's the where's the
Speaker 1: outrage on that? By the way, that just sounds bad bad,
Speaker 1: Why are we doing it? From a content perspective? And
Speaker 1: then we wanted to talk about Matt Damon real quick
Speaker 1: because we think, yeah, ohh yeah, yeah, that's fine, not
Speaker 1: because I think he's getting a bad rep. So, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like, right at the peak of crypto, he told
Speaker 1: people in a in a commercial that fortune will favor
Speaker 1: them for being brave, compared investing in crypto to the
Speaker 1: right brothers, you know, and then he's kind of getting
Speaker 1: dragged online for doing that because everyone's saying, if you
Speaker 1: bought a thousand dollars worth the crypto when that commercial aired,
Speaker 1: you would only you would have less than four hundred
Speaker 1: dollars now, yeah, but also if you thought that a
Speaker 1: Super BOWLS advertisement was the beginning of anything, like the
Speaker 1: first time anybody had heard of an idea, you don't
Speaker 1: really stand how the super Bowl works because no, it isn't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but his ad is seen as like kind of a
Speaker 1: turning point or like a main streaming of cryptocurrency. And
Speaker 1: it does like coincide with crypto like going mainstream, lots
Speaker 1: of money pouring in from people who are now all
Speaker 1: much poorer than they were before that moment. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it was the Matt Damon d necessarily, but
Speaker 1: it did. I remember seeing the ad and being like, oh, wow,
Speaker 1: this is we're doing this is all yeah, we're really
Speaker 1: doing it. They're like this guy really put himself out
Speaker 1: there to look this dumb. I'm like this he realized
Speaker 1: what this is gonna look like in a little bit here,
Speaker 1: because when you try to buy crypto, that's when you
Speaker 1: start realizing this is mostly pirates, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like that you gotta have a separate hard drive so
Speaker 1: you can't get hacked, and like selling it's not easy
Speaker 1: and so on, you know what I mean, Like it right,
Speaker 1: like straight up, it is on par with like those
Speaker 1: Toms that like reverse mortgage. It's just he's doing it
Speaker 1: two young people instead of the elderly. I mean, at
Speaker 1: least you at least you could get some money from
Speaker 1: the bank for your reverse That's what you say, Like
Speaker 1: from day one, every time I bring up the Tom
Speaker 1: selling thing, You're like, actually a great deal. I mean
Speaker 1: I told you and listeners, like I said, I trust
Speaker 1: a g and so can you not? Commercial is so
Speaker 1: fucking malicious. Ship is so fucked up. Yeah, you think
Speaker 1: he even thought about that? You think he even thought
Speaker 1: about that when he took that gig at all? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like do you think Tom Sell? Do you think he
Speaker 1: like do you think he just like sure whatever, just
Speaker 1: put the camera on me, I'll say it. Or do
Speaker 1: you think like he does have a feeling when you
Speaker 1: get to that age, like the deals weren't that good
Speaker 1: when he was coming up, And I don't know what
Speaker 1: kind of I p he owns, like back in stuff
Speaker 1: or he has like his money keeps coming in. So
Speaker 1: I feel like at a certain point, like I see
Speaker 1: myself being damn near sixty and shipped up like Zeke gang,
Speaker 1: if you need a blood transfusion for water that is
Speaker 1: totable for you to drink, please hit up blood. Blood
Speaker 1: is thicker than water. But like it seems like for
Speaker 1: him they put it back in front of him. He said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. Sorry, can we just get a confirmation yeah
Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Oh can you sign that
Speaker 1: the contract that we you just need to sign yeah yah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, signed, signed, signed.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's already back to us. Thanks. He also,
Speaker 1: like Tom Selick has like ranches that steal money from
Speaker 1: like neighboring ranches, Like he that was something that he
Speaker 1: like got in trouble for doing. So he's like all
Speaker 1: the way like he's he's just a rich, rich old
Speaker 1: guy who's doing doing rich old guys stuff. Ranch stealing
Speaker 1: apparently among the things he's doing. Okay, all right, but
Speaker 1: it does feel like anybody involved in a crypto ad,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go ahead and include my my good
Speaker 1: friend Joel em being seventy six ers great m VP
Speaker 1: runner up for the past i think three years in
Speaker 1: a row. He like, as the ship was hitting the fan,
Speaker 1: like as everything was going falling completely apart in the
Speaker 1: world of crypto, he debuted in an edge that was
Speaker 1: like not not only was it like crypto is good,
Speaker 1: but it compared people who doubted him to people who
Speaker 1: doubted crypto, which is like, so yeah, I mean all
Speaker 1: of them, Lebron fucking Larry David, Like, shame on all
Speaker 1: these fucking people who came out here to normalize this ship,
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, the whole point
Speaker 1: of all this ship with n f T s, with
Speaker 1: the celebrity endorsements is to normalize crypto so more people
Speaker 1: take their their their actual dollars convert them to crypto,
Speaker 1: so these fucking whales who are holding on the massive
Speaker 1: amounts can finally liquidate their ship and get out. That's
Speaker 1: all they need. But there's not enough liquidity in the
Speaker 1: market for them. They're like, well, then figure out how
Speaker 1: we get more people to get in here. I don't
Speaker 1: know seller fucking wu tang album as an n f
Speaker 1: T please, And that's where we're at. And and and
Speaker 1: that's why you see like the like you now, there's
Speaker 1: like constant like there's so many n f T podcasts
Speaker 1: that I look, they don't even exist anymore, Like they
Speaker 1: stopped just because some people realize, like, oh man, this
Speaker 1: is all bad, and like even if I believed in it,
Speaker 1: I literally have nothing. So what the funk am I
Speaker 1: going to say right now and be like, Hey, check
Speaker 1: out this new one called whatever the background monkeys from
Speaker 1: the film Congo, where it's all based on some of
Speaker 1: the background guerrillas from Congo. It's really cool stuff. Michael
Speaker 1: Crichton is not involved them I just wish Matt Damon
Speaker 1: had followed the advice of this a list actor who said,
Speaker 1: I really wish I had listened a lot more before
Speaker 1: I weighed in on this. And that's a quote from
Speaker 1: Matt Damon when talking about about his decision to weigh
Speaker 1: in on the me too movement, by being like, well,
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta figure out like their spectrums here, right,
Speaker 1: Like there's some people do sexual assault and some people
Speaker 1: are just you know, grabbing your butt on set, and
Speaker 1: like those are different things. And and then people were like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: shut the funk up, and he was like, oh, I
Speaker 1: really wish I had like done a little bit more
Speaker 1: reading and listening before I weighed in on this one.
Speaker 1: So maybe if he had only been able to learn
Speaker 1: that piece of wisdom from himself before digging in on
Speaker 1: this crypto, he might he might have been in better shape.
Speaker 1: The phrase he used was patting someone on the butt,
Speaker 1: like he's a football coach out there right run around set,
Speaker 1: good jobs, good job camera guy. If I want to
Speaker 1: run around and give everyone a little had on the
Speaker 1: rear and tell him good hustle, just a little hini pad.
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is what happens when we're we're taking
Speaker 1: cues from celebrities who have never had a moment of
Speaker 1: real introspection in their lives and are just driven by
Speaker 1: like they're like career momentum. And so you're gonna hear
Speaker 1: wacky ship like that or like a fortune favors the broke,
Speaker 1: I mean, the bold, the yeah, and it's also good,
Speaker 1: like this is why America operates the way it does,
Speaker 1: Like that Damon didn't start out as like a generationally
Speaker 1: wealthy person. But once you become rich and famous, like
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, all the people like you have
Speaker 1: the opportunity and it's probably the easier thing to do
Speaker 1: for just everybody around you to be somebody who is
Speaker 1: interested in making money off of you, making money for you,
Speaker 1: and also like golfing with you at whatever fucking tree
Speaker 1: club that you belong to. You know. So it's like
Speaker 1: he doesn't he's completely insulated, like for other than if
Speaker 1: he watches his movie Elysium and is like, oh, yeah, something,
Speaker 1: it seems like throwing eggs at them, you know, just
Speaker 1: because that's that's all you think about. All the small
Speaker 1: like small time like retail investor type people who probably
Speaker 1: got totally duped into this with promises of like, this
Speaker 1: is the new way to build generational wealth because a
Speaker 1: lot of people are my my age, you know, and young,
Speaker 1: like especially millennials. Fuck man, like, we we watched like
Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities for financial like for any kind
Speaker 1: of wealth building just fucking vanish into thin air. So
Speaker 1: it makes sense that something that comes on the heels
Speaker 1: of the two thousand eight crisis promising to be the
Speaker 1: new way to like not be connected to all the
Speaker 1: factory of our other centralized financial systems, you know, gets
Speaker 1: people thinking in this and feeling like, oh, this is
Speaker 1: how I can do something for myself, only for it
Speaker 1: to be a fucking op and turn you into a
Speaker 1: bag holder. What's funny is that Matt Damon should have
Speaker 1: been like the canary in the coal mine, that this
Speaker 1: was no longer the sort of cool internet thing that
Speaker 1: crypto was pretending to be for years and years before that,
Speaker 1: Like doge coin was a story before this happened, right
Speaker 1: where doese coin like went up by a hundredfold in
Speaker 1: a six month period of time, right, and that was
Speaker 1: such a like, yeah, it's a dog and it means nothing.
Speaker 1: That's red, right, But once Matt David's the guy advertising it,
Speaker 1: you should know there is no more doge coin, you know,
Speaker 1: Like that's that, that whole vibe is over. Ultimately, it's
Speaker 1: the game of like being the first one there and
Speaker 1: then tricking a bunch of other people to get into
Speaker 1: giving you their money. And by the time Matt Damon
Speaker 1: is doing Super Bowl commercials for it, seems like that
Speaker 1: ship might have sailed. So yeah. Cool and for someone
Speaker 1: who cares so much about the environment to Matt Damon
Speaker 1: or supposedly like you should know, how much of a
Speaker 1: fucking like drain. Yeah he was in that water project, right,
Speaker 1: He was doing that water project for years and years, right, yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a weird stealing water from the neighboring ranch of
Speaker 1: Tom Selleck, that one pirates water deal. It's like that
Speaker 1: one from Chinatown. He was part of that. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: that's the real water project. Adam Ganzer, such a pleasure

Speaker 1: who's married to an influencer, and he's just kind of
Speaker 1: a He's very funny in a very normal guy way.
Speaker 1: And I it's just always him pranking his wife and
Speaker 1: she's but not in a malicious way. It's like just
Speaker 1: making her laugh while she's doing her stuff, which I
Speaker 1: really like and also like a more serious one. I
Speaker 1: really enjoy the feed of Elizabeth Brunik, who's on Twitter.

Speaker 1: called A culture that kills its children has no future.

Speaker 1: give her a phone. Cool miles, Where can people find you?
Speaker 1: What a tweet you've been enjoy uh? If i'd me
Speaker 1: on Twitter and Instagram at Miles of Gray. Also check
Speaker 1: out a new podcast that I helped produce about the
Speaker 1: corruption at FIFA, the governing body of world football. It's
Speaker 1: called Lords of Soccer uh, and it was produced by
Speaker 1: like an external team that we worked with here at
Speaker 1: I Heeart. But it's a dope if you like true
Speaker 1: crime or sports or really understanding how greed can absolutely
Speaker 1: up end things like the World Cup. Like right now,
Speaker 1: we should be having a World Cup, but because of
Speaker 1: the corruption that they FIFA sold it to cutter and
Speaker 1: now it's happening in November, in the middle of everyone's
Speaker 1: domestic season. And this is a great sort of entry
Speaker 1: point into the whole scandals. They're like from the beginning,
Speaker 1: so you kind of get this really full formed picture
Speaker 1: of FIFA and the greed over there, So please if
Speaker 1: you wouldn't mind checking that out, I would appreciate the support.
Speaker 1: It's called Lords of Soccer and it's on the I
Speaker 1: Heart Network. Um and also obviously check out mad boost Ease,
Speaker 1: Mile Jackot Mad boost Ease and for fiance a tweet
Speaker 1: that out like first one is from Craig Calcatera. At
Speaker 1: Craig Calcatera, he said, it's things like this that keep
Speaker 1: me from even even thinking about quitting this website. And
Speaker 1: John Hinckley was released from prison and tweeted at John
Speaker 1: Hinckley tweeted after forty one years, two months in fifteen days,
Speaker 1: freedom at Last. Then someone underneath replied, John, check out
Speaker 1: Jersey Mikes. You will not regret it. Stupid, but like
Speaker 1: facts like please let him let him know. I just
Speaker 1: love somebody who was like, yo, bro, you gotta try
Speaker 1: Jersey Mike. I know you just got out love that ship.
Speaker 1: Then another one is from at stop It. Guh tweeted
Speaker 1: two albums in eight months. I know a degenerate gambler
Speaker 1: when I see one. And that's a reference to Drake
Speaker 1: because apparently he's been losing a lot of money and
Speaker 1: he just dropped a surprise album on Friday Night on
Speaker 1: People and then uh lastly at Harley Bagdad tweeted me
Speaker 1: on the internet, the economy isn't even real. It's all

Speaker 1: when this song from the origins of it. It just
Speaker 1: popped up on like a suggested playlist and it's like
Speaker 1: this like really upbeat, funky disco track which sounds maybe Look,
Speaker 1: there's so many artists now who record on like old
Speaker 1: like tape and things and microphones that you couldn't tell
Speaker 1: if it was recording the seventies or not. I have
Speaker 1: a feeling this is probably like an older like this
Speaker 1: is from that time, but it just reminds it reminds
Speaker 1: me of like if Desmond and lost in the hatch,
Speaker 1: Like if if he was black, he probably would have
Speaker 1: been playing this record every day like to like wake
Speaker 1: up in his like weird dystopian bunker pit. But either way,
