Speaker 1: for Teresa. Yeah, I did not get elected. That's disappointing.
Speaker 1: That sounds like you should have. Yeah, was there something
Speaker 1: about plugging something in and getting warm? Were you running
Speaker 1: on a will provide electric blankets during energy and perhaps platform? Uh?
Speaker 1: You know this was peak bringing odd influence area era
Speaker 1: where we were. You know, I would say bring it
Speaker 1: on walk so the mean girls sexy Santa Dance could run. Um.
Speaker 1: We really were just you know, making up cheers, thinking
Speaker 1: that cheerleaders of sports were out there saying things like
Speaker 1: water it's getting hotter, like that's poetic. You're bringing a
Speaker 1: little bit more or a little bit more than the
Speaker 1: typical cheerleader of sports. What were you going to bring
Speaker 1: up about the Linda look at this course. I was
Speaker 1: just gonna ask you can somebody please catch up with
Speaker 1: that young man, like, what what is that Rosalia? Or
Speaker 1: are you talking about Linda the Rosalia song? Are we no?
Speaker 1: No no? Remember remember that viral video from like and
Speaker 1: that little boy who's like Linda, Honey, Linda, No, Linda,
Speaker 1: look it no Linda when he's like talking his own mos.
Speaker 1: Remember that. But that's hilarious. I remember when you said
Speaker 1: Linda viral video? I thought, do you remember Aisha? Like
Speaker 1: this is like a creaky no. This guy who is
Speaker 1: just like guy, a teenage boy at his room and
Speaker 1: he just sings. I think, I want to say, as
Speaker 1: an adult, I think it was a joke. But as
Speaker 1: a kid, we were like, this guy is a nerd,
Speaker 1: but I think he meant to be funny. He's like
Speaker 1: singing the song. He's like she moved, she moved, and
Speaker 1: then the text popped like how Aisha Aisha? Hmm, you
Speaker 1: guys gotta look it up. You know what. I'm sure
Speaker 1: if I look. I feel like if we both watched
Speaker 1: those videos, you'd remember my little matteo Linda look at Honey,
Speaker 1: and I would probably remember this one. But this is
Speaker 1: that little here. Let me just let me just give
Speaker 1: you the audio. This is going to be the main
Speaker 1: subject of our podcast going forward to this game? Why
Speaker 1: is this? Where are you getting pre rolls in front
Speaker 1: of Linda? Look at child. There's a great song by
Speaker 1: rosal Lea called Linda, and I thought you were like
Speaker 1: referencing that because it's like it's a fun bootybanger. Definitely
Speaker 1: which on the album you know, I want to wiggle
Speaker 1: your butt? Put it on. It's called Linda. But it's
Speaker 1: just like really fast, like I can't speak finish, but
Speaker 1: I've been I've been really listened to the new album Heavy.
Speaker 1: Is it on that one or it's on the one before?
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's on that one with the chi Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's on there. What's it called? Anyway? We'll like, oh here, okay,
Speaker 1: here's here's this a little boy? Okay, but I have
Speaker 1: to yell at you guys, likay, everything give at this South.
Speaker 1: It can just everything grandas South. Okay, Okay, then it
Speaker 1: is so disrespectful. Okay, then what Because he's been listening
Speaker 1: to adults talk too much listening to me, I asked
Speaker 1: you not to do something, but listen to If you
Speaker 1: do something, if you get that out up, you can
Speaker 1: bake it. Okay. But I'm asking. I'm letting you know
Speaker 1: that you cannot know. I'm you're not listening to me.
Speaker 1: Listen to me, now, listen to me. Now, no, you're
Speaker 1: not listening. Okay, does this not ring a bell at all?
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Okay, I don't think I've ever seen that.
Speaker 1: But watching that, I'm like, she's gonna be just doing
Speaker 1: this for the video, right, because at some point I'm like,
Speaker 1: she's talking to him like she's trying to read actually reason,
Speaker 1: I know, well, because his body language is such is
Speaker 1: that of like a dismissive fifty five year old man
Speaker 1: who's like just like, right, what what do I have
Speaker 1: to tell again, Linda? And but then it's like mixed
Speaker 1: in there are like little things that are appropriate to
Speaker 1: a three year old about being like you guy, get
Speaker 1: the thing off the thing like the thing he's worried
Speaker 1: about is doesn't make any sense. She she she said
Speaker 1: this all happened because she had She was trying to
Speaker 1: have get him to eat dinner, but he wanted to
Speaker 1: skip to dessert and so and she's trying to reason
Speaker 1: with him, and that's when he she's like, Okay, I
Speaker 1: gotta just record this because he's not giving this up
Speaker 1: at all, they say. Catching up with him now, he was,
Speaker 1: so what he's about He's probably like eleven now, and
Speaker 1: and this catch up with him last May they said,
Speaker 1: he's great, he's getting into martial arts. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: because I guess I was wondering, like, would he would
Speaker 1: his trajectory continue along that path and like, well, well, bodily,
Speaker 1: he may be a toddler in this video. Spiritually he
Speaker 1: is fifty five, Like he is aging spiritually at like
Speaker 1: a incredibly rapid braid. I was just wondering, like if
Speaker 1: as an eleven year old, he's like you know what?
Speaker 1: They also say, because it's play shuffleboard. They said, in
Speaker 1: the social distance learning phase, he started a very successful
Speaker 1: podcast becoming a boy's rights advocate. Okay, yeah, and that
Speaker 1: is where that idea should end at eleven, where you're like,
Speaker 1: boys don't get any of the right. We don't right, right,
Speaker 1: my fellow boys. Yeah, Okay, I've been thinking I feel
Speaker 1: like if I had it, I don't know if this
Speaker 1: is like too new ag, but if my chilled and
Speaker 1: you know, in the future can like properly and like
Speaker 1: successfully negotiate dessert, but like with you know, properly, including
Speaker 1: good listening and being able to present their case, and
Speaker 1: I have thought it through. I would reward that by
Speaker 1: letting them because I feel like that's a better skill,
Speaker 1: Like having vegetables before ice cream is not as important
Speaker 1: of a skill as knowing how to express your wants
Speaker 1: and needs and becoming a masterful rhetorician to get what
Speaker 1: you want. I eat ice cream as an adult all
Speaker 1: the time before dinner, and I just as long as
Speaker 1: I know I'm going to eat dinner, it does. Nobody
Speaker 1: knows for me, and I feel like it's a big
Speaker 1: illusion that we have to have dinner before dessert. Yeah, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: that sounds great. I treat parenting like trench warfare, where
Speaker 1: if they if I give up an inch, I've lost right.
Speaker 1: They can never get any progress with me. That's that's true.
Speaker 1: Like that, there there is like a certain parenting mindset
Speaker 1: that I think is like the default that your brain
Speaker 1: goes to. That is like I have to be an
Speaker 1: authoritarian here, And yeah, there are plenty of moments where
Speaker 1: it's it's great to remember oh, or I could just
Speaker 1: like delight my kid and be like fuck it, let's
Speaker 1: go get ice cream. Santa yeah, yeah, all right, Well, Teresa,
Speaker 1: it's so wonderful having you back on the show. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get to know you even better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell her listeners a couple of things we're
Speaker 1: talking about today. Sometimes it's fun to just check in
Speaker 1: with the world of crypto and look at how that's
Speaker 1: all working out. And we might even get to the
Speaker 1: Fantastic Beasts series all of that plenty more. Before we
Speaker 1: get to Teresa. We like to ask our guests, what
Speaker 1: is something from your search history? Oh gosh, this is
Speaker 1: gonna be really telling, and in some ways, last time
Speaker 1: I came on and I asked people for help with
Speaker 1: the wall, I got a lot of just like very
Speaker 1: helpful answers. So I didn't find my answer on Google.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna tell you guys, and maybe some of
Speaker 1: the sight getting we'll have answers. But I've been well,
Speaker 1: I so I googled. I googled sleep talking like chronic
Speaker 1: won't stop. But I'm trying to figure out that the
Speaker 1: correlation outside of being tired, because I have like theories
Speaker 1: that it's like correlated to like me getting treatment for
Speaker 1: PTSD and allergies. But it's like too big of a web.
Speaker 1: But I've been sleep talking in a way that's like
Speaker 1: disruptive to people around me, Like like if i'm my
Speaker 1: boyfriend's plays, I'll like wake come up and ask him
Speaker 1: if he wants a bagel in the middle of the night,
Speaker 1: and to the point where it's like it's not endearing anymore.
Speaker 1: It's very frustrating for him and for me too be
Speaker 1: But when I'm alone, I like usually just go back
Speaker 1: to sleep, but I do, like to the point where
Speaker 1: I'm like, I feel bad. I wish you understood. I
Speaker 1: no control for this, and he does know, but I
Speaker 1: could tell it makes him, uh frustrated. It's like when
Speaker 1: I was one night like welcome up like every hour.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll scream, sometimes I'll cry. I have no control
Speaker 1: over it, and I I thought that it was like
Speaker 1: temporary because I had, like you know, done trauma therapy.
Speaker 1: But now it's been like months and I have no
Speaker 1: idea why it's happening. But I feel fine when I
Speaker 1: wake up in the morning, I still wake up with
Speaker 1: the sun. So in some ways I think that like
Speaker 1: I'm like dreaming out loud almost, but I don't know
Speaker 1: how to stop it. So if any zy gang is
Speaker 1: like you know in neuroscience or understands or if you're
Speaker 1: a witch, you know, I'm I'm open to anything like
Speaker 1: curse or something. That's fine. Your body just like gives
Speaker 1: you a word count at the start of the day
Speaker 1: and it's like you gotta get you gotta get two
Speaker 1: more words out there. Wow. You know that's the closest
Speaker 1: exclamation to possible that I've heard, because I do talk
Speaker 1: a lot and dry because I probably saved a lot
Speaker 1: of words. Actually, bodies like right, I mean, the super
Speaker 1: ego is is like an editor or you know, so
Speaker 1: the super ego in your brain is like, all right,
Speaker 1: we're we're keeping track, we're keeping tabs. Maybe maybe your
Speaker 1: super egos just being like, ah, we we gotta hit
Speaker 1: two thousand words today or else we don't like a
Speaker 1: word with my super ego because you know, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: look at Linda, negotiate my super ego, negotiate with it. Wait,
Speaker 1: did you say like the bagel? That's real? Like you're
Speaker 1: consistently offering a bagel. I wokeome up. Well, so I
Speaker 1: remember this one because it's what I woke up on.
Speaker 1: But sometimes I won't remember but I like literally woke
Speaker 1: come up like very I was like, do you want
Speaker 1: to do you want a bagel? Like so calmly, and
Speaker 1: he's like no, And I was still thinking that we
Speaker 1: were in a car and I was getting the breakfast.
Speaker 1: So I was like okay, Like he was kind of
Speaker 1: rude about it because I will come up, and then
Speaker 1: in a moment I felt bad. But then as soon
Speaker 1: as I like fully woke, I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. So I don't know. I will say
Speaker 1: he also sleep talks, not as much as me. He
Speaker 1: is very cute, but I caught him sleep talking more.
Speaker 1: You'll say like I love you so much. And then
Speaker 1: one day I was like, oh, are you talking to me?
Speaker 1: He was like I was like talking to me or yourself,
Speaker 1: And he's like, oh, I think I was talking to myself.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, all these times I thought
Speaker 1: he was saying I love you so much. I was like,
Speaker 1: he's like half asleep, like telling me, but sometimes he's
Speaker 1: telling himself. So that's really cute but also very funny
Speaker 1: to me because I think I'm talking to me. That's selfish,
Speaker 1: like I'll love you so much, please affirm yourself well,
Speaker 1: away from my hearing area, please else I will get confused.
Speaker 1: I thought you were saying you'd love to me, but
Speaker 1: that's fine. Yeah, I mean you guys are both like that.
Speaker 1: Like your urge that's coming out is to feed him
Speaker 1: and give him a bagel, and his urge is to
Speaker 1: express self love. Like you guys are a healthy as couple.
Speaker 1: I love of it for both of you, except we
Speaker 1: don't get sleep because no, um, yeah, I guess that's nice,
Speaker 1: better than waking someone up and be like hell also
Speaker 1: like fairly rational compared to sleep talking that I've encountered
Speaker 1: and been part of. So when I'm I noticed her.
Speaker 1: Massy said there are times I'll just sit up straight
Speaker 1: in bed, m and then scan the room like yeah,
Speaker 1: no sarcophagus ship just like and then I'm just like
Speaker 1: looking around and she'll be like if she if I
Speaker 1: fall asleep before she's reading, She's like you good. And
Speaker 1: then apparently I say nothing and I just go like
Speaker 1: right back down. But it's it's stopped since I exercise more.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, that could be it I'm not exercising.
Speaker 1: It could be I'm trying to get a core work
Speaker 1: out too. Maybe that was my body being like get this,
Speaker 1: get this core, get to sit up in real quick
Speaker 1: like like oh shit, okay, I get yeah, but I
Speaker 1: always like does does some sleep talking, it's a lot
Speaker 1: of sleep like punch and kicking like she's she's a
Speaker 1: violent sleeper. But but yeah, it's not like every consistent
Speaker 1: every night. So that's that's interesting. Look, you know we're
Speaker 1: all doing stuff. Yeah, if you know what does something
Speaker 1: you take as overrated? Um, I you know, I really
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of answers for this because I'm
Speaker 1: kind of liking things right now. So I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: back to childhood never like this, never understood it. I
Speaker 1: don't understand why it never got fazed out, just like
Speaker 1: lemon flavor things, not like lemon lemonade, but like lemon
Speaker 1: mering pie, lemon skittles, Like I thought we'd just have
Speaker 1: like canceled it by now, and it's still around, and
Speaker 1: I don't understand why. It's it's not good. It doesn't
Speaker 1: taste like lemon, and it's that's it. That's the that's
Speaker 1: the tweet. I get that Lemon starbursts, I hate it.
Speaker 1: Lemon Skittles didn't to me. It felt like because lemons
Speaker 1: you don't eat just off the tree, you know. So
Speaker 1: I had a brain that I'm the same. I have
Speaker 1: this disconnect or I'm like, I'm never in my mind.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, apple, fuck you take that ship and
Speaker 1: you bite into a strawberries, easy watermelons, easy grapes, easy lemons.
Speaker 1: I'd be like the fucking thing I bid as a kid,
Speaker 1: and like almost had a panic attack because I wasn't
Speaker 1: ready for the sour. Like nah, that Tom York woke
Speaker 1: up sucking I mean exactly yesterday. I believe he woke
Speaker 1: up sucking on lemon on, lemon on, lemon everything. But yeah,
Speaker 1: but I love I love it as I like, I
Speaker 1: get it as an ingredient. I think citrus is amazing.
Speaker 1: But I'm with you, like candy that's lemon flavor, No,
Speaker 1: I love lemon flavor specifically. Do you like lemon lemon
Speaker 1: marange pie? Jack? I don't like the meringue, but I'm
Speaker 1: here for the lemon. I like he Lin pie is
Speaker 1: my favorite pie. I love that ship. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Like starbrt lemon. Starbursts are like a for you know,
Speaker 1: they're the last one that gets eaten. And my star
Speaker 1: star Burst rotation, and but you you mentioned apple and
Speaker 1: apple Skittles are definitely my last. I prefer lemon Skittles
Speaker 1: over Apple skittles. The apples. Yeah, the green is apple
Speaker 1: has been for a while. I know I did too.
Speaker 1: And when I was like, why don't I funk with these?
Speaker 1: I think that's right. It again. I thought it was
Speaker 1: that green one. Are good skittles away sweet green? I
Speaker 1: thought they were all along? What is the sweet green?
Speaker 1: So the company is adding its lime flavor back to
Speaker 1: its original variety of candy. Many Skittle fans were shaken
Speaker 1: when in two thousand thirteen, the candy makers switched the
Speaker 1: flavor of green Skittles from lime to green apple. Oh
Speaker 1: that's also since it's been apple. Yes, okay, I have
Speaker 1: a bought Skittles since Oh man, what's what's going on?
Speaker 1: Are you okay? Yeah? Man, I'm just you know, you're
Speaker 1: an adult. Yeah, yeah, that And I just I would
Speaker 1: when I bought candy, it would always be something with chocolate, like,
Speaker 1: I just don't buy gummy ship That's not how I
Speaker 1: get done. So and since one has gone back to
Speaker 1: the line, so I think it was. I think it
Speaker 1: was when Teresa, you and I worked at that company
Speaker 1: that had big things of candy all over the place,
Speaker 1: including like a big Skittles thing that like you could
Speaker 1: turn it and oh e w scripts I think this
Speaker 1: was when we were under demand media. Yeah wow, I've
Speaker 1: I actually feel like Skittles watch their marketing because when
Speaker 1: I was little, like I didn't. I'm saying with my smiles,
Speaker 1: I like chocolate, but I remember the commercial is like
Speaker 1: getting me. I was like, taste the rainbow. Yeah, bitch,
Speaker 1: I want to. And now they're so far off, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: have lost it? How the Mighty fall? How the Mighty fall?
Speaker 1: What's something you think is underrated? Um? I think, okay,
Speaker 1: customer service like is underrated. And this is not just
Speaker 1: because I like good customer service, because I think the
Speaker 1: term now just brings up like shitty call call centers now.
Speaker 1: But I do like, I started a new job and
Speaker 1: it's a small company, and I feel like I won't
Speaker 1: um just to keep my jobs and I won't say
Speaker 1: what it is, but sometimes I'll get calls from people
Speaker 1: and I'm like, even if people are frustrated, I'm just like, oh,
Speaker 1: maybe because I'm still in that new job honeymoon phase.
Speaker 1: But I realized like when I'm nice, like sometimes they're
Speaker 1: just like so surprised, like oh my god, thank you
Speaker 1: for helping, and that makes my day better. And I
Speaker 1: realized that customer service call centers get a lot of
Speaker 1: angry callers, but I just like dread having to call
Speaker 1: any company. And whenever there's companies that do end up
Speaker 1: having like clients go to the Twitter or whatever, then
Speaker 1: the CEO steps in and they fix it. But I'm like,
Speaker 1: why don't we just make customer service actually like what
Speaker 1: it used to be, which is people actually carrying and
Speaker 1: people who want to do that job, instead of being like, oh,
Speaker 1: let me just get a voice on the line who's
Speaker 1: gonna know nothing. I don't know. Maybe I'm alone in this,
Speaker 1: but it just feels like, let's pay these people like ships,
Speaker 1: so they have to be completely exhausted to earn a
Speaker 1: living wage because they're working so many hours, and then
Speaker 1: high value pay people for it, and high value customer
Speaker 1: service rep who's paid for the time is gonna love
Speaker 1: that and gonna be doing a great job fielding calls.
Speaker 1: But oftentimes I'll be like on hold forever and then
Speaker 1: finally they'll talk to their manager, which is like I
Speaker 1: always hate making them feel bad. So I'm always like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: just can we skip to the part where yeah, but
Speaker 1: they have to follow their script, And I'm always like,
Speaker 1: this sucks for you too. It's just that they've gotten
Speaker 1: so good with the automated ones, you know, those are
Speaker 1: so good. I just always feel taken care of, especially
Speaker 1: when you say something You're like, so like your option
Speaker 1: now You're like yes, and here are you doing? Bro
Speaker 1: complain that there's no internet in my neighborhood right now.
Speaker 1: I don't need to hear yeah, yeah, robust. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it was well during pandemic because some of the call centers,
Speaker 1: I know, people were working from home and it would
Speaker 1: just be like, you know, you call a huge company
Speaker 1: like Spectrum or something, and then you could hear a
Speaker 1: baby crying and they'd be like, oh, let me see.
Speaker 1: But then it also humanizes everyone more, so I feel
Speaker 1: like it's easier to connect as a human, Like obviously
Speaker 1: we all know that these are just jobs. But sometimes
Speaker 1: when I'm able to get to that like oh, hey,
Speaker 1: like how's your day, then they're just like more willing
Speaker 1: to listen, and I'm more willing to just like like,
Speaker 1: don't worry, I'm not gonna yell at you. But I
Speaker 1: think some of us out of fear, because I'm sure
Speaker 1: they get yelled at all the time, but it's like
Speaker 1: just imagining that they're like at home on their cell
Speaker 1: fielding a call and cooking dinner. I'm like, oh, it's
Speaker 1: you guys. A second, let me Yeah, it's that's why
Speaker 1: I like to your point, like, I'm just like, just
Speaker 1: put me on the phone with the person I can
Speaker 1: yell at because it ain't you. It's not you. I
Speaker 1: know that. I know it's not you because you just
Speaker 1: answered they you can and fodder, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: because they know people like me are trying to get
Speaker 1: through to have real complaints. And I'm always like, I'm
Speaker 1: always say like, I know this has not I'm like,
Speaker 1: I know it's not you. Like I know it's not you.
Speaker 1: I know this is your job. And I'm like always like,
Speaker 1: just please get me to the person who like can
Speaker 1: make that make the decision here, or who when I
Speaker 1: threatened to cancel my service, will try to do more
Speaker 1: than be like we can offer you show time for
Speaker 1: two days. M hm. I'm like, no, I'm not paying
Speaker 1: this month. I'm not paying this month. My whole life
Speaker 1: is on the internet. And I just had a really
Speaker 1: good customer service experience well, canceling our car insurance from
Speaker 1: one company to go with another company. And the people
Speaker 1: I talked to to cancel it, we're both very kind
Speaker 1: and like you know, asked what the rate was. We're like,
Speaker 1: all right, we can't beat that. That's good. Like and
Speaker 1: then we're also like, oh, you already started your policy.
Speaker 1: Well let's see your money back. Yeah, let's get get
Speaker 1: you money back from our company. As you were leaving.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, typically yeah, although man, I remember
Speaker 1: the last time with a insurance company that shall not
Speaker 1: be named, when I had overlapping insurance. It took me
Speaker 1: so long for them to like, like, can you get
Speaker 1: another letter that said when your coverage started? I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: I sent you three versions, right, yeah, oh yeah, it
Speaker 1: has not. The money is not back to me. I
Speaker 1: should I should probably hold myself now they're gonna fight
Speaker 1: me to the grave. Yeah, but all right, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break and we'll come back and talk n
Speaker 1: f t S And we're back, and you know, like
Speaker 1: there's a lot of excitement about n f t S,
Speaker 1: about crypto over these past few years, still still still
Speaker 1: a lot of excitement. Now you're starting to hear people
Speaker 1: who are like, it seems like all of these are
Speaker 1: pump and dump scams, like there's no value being offered both,
Speaker 1: but they're still a crypto dot com arena, so I know,
Speaker 1: and the so that's crept in, but there's still I
Speaker 1: feel like the overall if you just like took a
Speaker 1: cross section of the population and like asked them about that,
Speaker 1: about n f T S or crypto, the answer would
Speaker 1: be somewhere between I don't know what that is and yeah, man,
Speaker 1: like all about it. Let's get let's get it, let's
Speaker 1: secure the bags. Because I feel like the stories that
Speaker 1: made the front page were like two point five million
Speaker 1: dollars for a n f T and then we haven't
Speaker 1: we haven't really checked it. Where's that next part where
Speaker 1: they're like, well it was early on, right, it would
Speaker 1: be like some whole body for in three k now
Speaker 1: it's worth fucking a hundred and twenty and they did
Speaker 1: it this kiss fourteen and you're like, okay, I see that,
Speaker 1: and what you're referencing is very specific, right, This crypto
Speaker 1: investor name Sinaia Stavi, he purchased the n f T
Speaker 1: version of Jack Dorsey's first ever tweet on Twitter. Okay,
Speaker 1: when it's like setting up my Twitter or whatever the
Speaker 1: funk that the tweet is. He bought that ship for
Speaker 1: a cool two and a half million dollars and he
Speaker 1: tweeted this at the time. And again keep in mind,
Speaker 1: this was this was like one about one year ago.
Speaker 1: He said, this is not just a tweet. I think
Speaker 1: years later people will realize the true value of this tweet,
Speaker 1: like the Mona Lisa Painting Painting is capitalized. But I
Speaker 1: get it, you'd be very the Mona Lisa Painting MLP
Speaker 1: as we call it, is a brand, like he should
Speaker 1: be capitalizing that of course, mural linguistic programming. And well,
Speaker 1: I guess it didn't take years for people to realize
Speaker 1: the true value of a fucking j tag, because this
Speaker 1: man went around earlier in April this month he was saying, like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I've decided to sell this n f T.
Speaker 1: He tweeted the world's first ever tweet in parentheses and
Speaker 1: donate fifty of the proceeds parenthetical five million dollars or
Speaker 1: more to charity. So he's like, okay, I'm I'm crunching
Speaker 1: the numbers. Oh yeah, he was apparently expecting to bring
Speaker 1: in now upwards of forty eight million dollars for this
Speaker 1: n f T that he bought for two and a
Speaker 1: half million. He put this ship up for auction, like
Speaker 1: you know, on like open sea or one of those
Speaker 1: like n f T sites. And when the auction closed,
Speaker 1: guess what the highest bid was. Jack, you're looking. I
Speaker 1: know you know what the answer is. But Teresa, see, okay,
Speaker 1: you're getting you're betting sixty nine. It's a little bit
Speaker 1: higher than that. I'm not gonna lie. You can go
Speaker 1: a little bit higher than No, that's too high. Seventy
Speaker 1: seven dollars was the highest bid. K I was expecting
Speaker 1: a k N two hundred seventy seven singles, okay was
Speaker 1: on offer. He isn't obligated to sell because like that's
Speaker 1: just just more to see, like who's willing to make
Speaker 1: an offer that's like viable, um, and he's holding on.
Speaker 1: But yeah, right now, it sounds like the best offer
Speaker 1: is ten thousand, which is less than forty eight million,
Speaker 1: I think, which which was also seemed like forty eight
Speaker 1: million was below what he was willing to accept. Since
Speaker 1: he wanted donate, which equaling out. So this is like
Speaker 1: classic like uh, scam, I feel like Pyramids scammera but
Speaker 1: so dumb. Where Like whoever the guy he bought it
Speaker 1: from probably was like, oh, yeah, like this is great
Speaker 1: because it's like you're you're supposed to be selling it
Speaker 1: for a high markup right, but not buying and be
Speaker 1: like fun, yeah, I got a deal. Like he was
Speaker 1: guessing it would up in ten years, so he paid
Speaker 1: the middle like maybe what maybe it would have been
Speaker 1: in five years if the timeline he actually went that way,
Speaker 1: but he just skept skipped ahead. And now he's fucked
Speaker 1: because he put this value on it by trying to
Speaker 1: sell it too soon, like you can't even think it now,
Speaker 1: like you can't even wait ten years and then be
Speaker 1: like solid at cost, Like you can't. It's not even
Speaker 1: worth that anymore. No millions. Somebody's like, bro, I'll give
Speaker 1: you two seventy seven bucks. They're like, I have that
Speaker 1: in my house right now. I can go around to
Speaker 1: the various drawers, gather up the change. I can get
Speaker 1: that to you, but I need you to say yes
Speaker 1: right now or else no deal. I mean, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: very heartbreaking to see. You know, I just couldn't have
Speaker 1: happened to somebody who deserved it less to get such
Speaker 1: a fraction of his two and a half million. But
Speaker 1: you can see from the Matthew's using right that he
Speaker 1: I think in his mind he thought he would at
Speaker 1: least ten X, because I think he's thinking, if I'm
Speaker 1: giving twenty five to charity of the proceeds, he thinks
Speaker 1: he's gonna go to fifty, he's gonna ten access two
Speaker 1: and a half million to twenty five million, and he's like, well,
Speaker 1: the other twenty five I can just give away to
Speaker 1: charity at that point because I've done my part. I mean,
Speaker 1: in some ways he did give it to charity by
Speaker 1: buying this n F t UM I mean mostly will
Speaker 1: be needy charity. And the charity detail is fun because
Speaker 1: it suggests a series of meetings where he and his
Speaker 1: financial advisors are planning out the money that like what
Speaker 1: they're gonna do with the fifty million, and he's having
Speaker 1: to be like no, no, no, like trust me, this
Speaker 1: is going like now that I'm famous. Once we make
Speaker 1: this sound then like people, I'm gonna want to buy
Speaker 1: the goodwill with this twenty five million dollar donation to
Speaker 1: charity like this. What did he do before, like because
Speaker 1: he had to a point five line around, or did
Speaker 1: he take out loans because this was a big investment
Speaker 1: for him? No, I think he's a like he's a
Speaker 1: crypto like evangelist investor, so I think he has money
Speaker 1: from I'm sorry it's two point eight million, it's even worse, um,
Speaker 1: but yeah, he I have a feeling it was because he,
Speaker 1: you know, like was early on in crypto, had some
Speaker 1: money thrown. I don't know what his net worth is now,
Speaker 1: but this feels to me like a problem that's actually
Speaker 1: a self balancing problem because all the news that reports
Speaker 1: on big expensive crypto sales make us everyone want to
Speaker 1: get into it on the bottom. But actually all those
Speaker 1: trades are happening in like a small portion of the
Speaker 1: people who've been in it for so long, so in
Speaker 1: some ways it's actually good for everyone else because it's
Speaker 1: evening it out. I don't know what makes sense, but
Speaker 1: it's almost like like they're trading within each other and
Speaker 1: they forgot. They forgot that they're all of inflating their
Speaker 1: own prices, so none of the regular folks like me
Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily even considering buying a two point five million
Speaker 1: en f T, Like maybe if you're like it's forty dollars,
Speaker 1: you would get a bunch of people who are like, oh,
Speaker 1: being a baby, you know that kind of thing. But
Speaker 1: I feel like in some ways it evens it back out,
Speaker 1: So if there is any valid it'll even back out
Speaker 1: within five years. But it's not, and then they'll all
Speaker 1: go away. Yeah. The downside is like the first of all,
Speaker 1: like anytime there's a financial market that's created without regulation,
Speaker 1: it tends to be away for the people with money
Speaker 1: to prey on people with less money, like they find
Speaker 1: a way to thend the things like people with power
Speaker 1: and influence are going to use that power and influence
Speaker 1: to make the rules so that they get to keep
Speaker 1: their money and get to keep the money of the
Speaker 1: other people they're doing transactions with. And it's also the
Speaker 1: because of the unregulated side of this, like people who
Speaker 1: are knowledgeable about n f t s and crypto is
Speaker 1: like say that the money tends to flow right word
Speaker 1: towards like authoritarians and the American right, So it's making
Speaker 1: the rich richer, which I guess that that was happening anyways,
Speaker 1: in America, but also like it gives I guess there's
Speaker 1: a lot of authoritary governments around the world that are
Speaker 1: getting richer off of this ship. Yeah, and you know,
Speaker 1: speaking of the money flowing right words, let's check in
Speaker 1: with the Let's Go Brandon coin that you know, if
Speaker 1: you were maggot out and looking to get it on
Speaker 1: the crypto wave, I mean, this Let's Go Brandon token
Speaker 1: or what we call lgbt uh looked like a surefire
Speaker 1: way out of your ex wife's new husband's back shed.
Speaker 1: But we get it. You fell for Trump griffs, you
Speaker 1: felt for q griffs, you felt for fucking Iver mect
Speaker 1: In griffs, and now you just want to feel like
Speaker 1: you could fucking win something. So when this ship came around,
Speaker 1: it was widely promoted by like MAGA influencers, like people
Speaker 1: like sucking Candice Owens and fucking even Key Bumps Jr.
Speaker 1: I mean, Donald Trump Jr. Was like out here posting
Speaker 1: about it, being like this is like the future of
Speaker 1: freedom of speech, bro fucking whatever the funk it was.
Speaker 1: And they promised that this thing would take off because
Speaker 1: we're in talks. They were saying, like the people who
Speaker 1: were behind the coin, like We're in talks with fucking NASCAR,
Speaker 1: okay to potentially sponsor hold onto your butts, fucking Brandon
Speaker 1: Brown's car, the original Brandon of Let's Go Brandon. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get and if we get that this thing,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna be so visible, you're gonna start
Speaker 1: making your money. Well, NASCAR was like, na, we're not,
Speaker 1: like just basically debted the deal and it wasn't gonna happen.
Speaker 1: The price started going down, and then people were starting
Speaker 1: to be like, this feels like a fucking scam now,
Speaker 1: like I put all this money into it, and now
Speaker 1: there's a class action lawsuit being brought from a few
Speaker 1: different investors against some of these influencers and the people
Speaker 1: who like minted the coin or this token to try
Speaker 1: and get their money back. Although like there's a lot
Speaker 1: of like finger pointing where like the people who are
Speaker 1: like working with the coin were like, I don't know
Speaker 1: this person was such a fan, Like I got emails
Speaker 1: when they're like, oh, through everything to market this coin
Speaker 1: for free, please, I'm simple for LGBT Let's Go Brandon
Speaker 1: token and the now we have a lot of hurt
Speaker 1: feelings and broke people people like Candace Owens are named
Speaker 1: in this class class action lawsuit. So that's like the
Speaker 1: state of it now, and people are denying any wrong doing.
Speaker 1: But I want to point to this moment because I
Speaker 1: think what's important is like pointing out these like these
Speaker 1: very specific moments, like and when like the cryptograph is
Speaker 1: in when you have to, you know, because celebrity endorsement
Speaker 1: is like the hugest like that's the part, you know,
Speaker 1: like that gives it legitimacy. We saw that in Paris
Speaker 1: and fucking Fallon were like pretending to give a funk
Speaker 1: about board yacht club Ape or whatever the funk that
Speaker 1: ship was. So in this version there was this guy
Speaker 1: who's also I believe, named in the lawsuit. He had
Speaker 1: fucking the biggest of Magna influencers, Big Poppy comb over himself,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in the building or remotely to come on
Speaker 1: his podcast, and basically he shoehorns in this like let's
Speaker 1: go Brandon token with Trump on the air and like
Speaker 1: gifts him like a bunch of tokens to try and
Speaker 1: give it some legitimacy. But Trump is so old and
Speaker 1: doesn't really know it just sounds like just just listen
Speaker 1: to this and even Biden like it if you think
Speaker 1: about it, right, They asked him about it and it
Speaker 1: was great. He thought it was wonderful. His wife was mortified,
Speaker 1: but he thought it was wonderful. Yeah, he did. He
Speaker 1: said at the interview, he said, let's go Brandon. I agree.
Speaker 1: So James Catoolas is a major stakeholder in this meme token.
Speaker 1: The meme token is let's go for Let's go Brandon,
Speaker 1: and James wanted me to give you five hundred billion
Speaker 1: of these Let's go tokens. So they are yours, Mr President.
Speaker 1: They are And uh, that sounds good to me. I
Speaker 1: don't know exactly what it means, but it sounds good
Speaker 1: to me. Well, the thing, the thing they want to
Speaker 1: do with this ton this token is support the truckers.
Speaker 1: They want to support fireman, police, nurses because of because
Speaker 1: of the Jazz mandate, they're gonna do a You can
Speaker 1: hear him Trump on the other end of like rustling,
Speaker 1: like he's like, Yo, what I'm trying to get off
Speaker 1: this call? He's like, what are we talking about? Is
Speaker 1: this a physical thing that's going to show up at
Speaker 1: my door? Like? Do I sign for it? He was like,
Speaker 1: what he's like five billion dollars, the fund is, let's go.
Speaker 1: It turns out that amount that he said was offered
Speaker 1: come came out around forty five dollars. But after it
Speaker 1: sounds good to me. The price fell right after that. Ah,
Speaker 1: that's so funny. Isn't the whole point of like these
Speaker 1: that you can't like mint five billion of a thing
Speaker 1: and claim that that's a that's money because like you're
Speaker 1: supposed to, it's supposed to be a difficult process at
Speaker 1: time consuming and energy consuming process. That makes it so
Speaker 1: that like each of these has some sort of basis
Speaker 1: and like, well there's only one of these, but well
Speaker 1: there's like a volume cap. But maybe he owned that
Speaker 1: much that he thought he was going to sell by now,
Speaker 1: so he's like, well, let's give it to Trump and
Speaker 1: it's his because then he'll want the value to go out.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it just seems like impossible the to have
Speaker 1: minted billion and fs. But anyways, it's fun to it's
Speaker 1: fun to hear Trumps start to you know, huh, sounds
Speaker 1: good to me. Yeah, I don't know exactly what that means.
Speaker 1: That was the most reagan Ish Reagan I like that
Speaker 1: Trump has tried to claim Reagan so many times, but
Speaker 1: that was the first time he actually had a had
Speaker 1: a claim to the mantle. It's like I have to ask,
Speaker 1: don't feel like Also, he probably got paid for that appearance,
Speaker 1: which is like Trump's probably just out here just doing
Speaker 1: like cameos now and they're like, all you have to
Speaker 1: do is come on and hype up our coin. He's like, yeah, sure, whatever, great,
Speaker 1: and it's like he made price drop. Yeah, it's uh again,
Speaker 1: it's they're they're like marketing to a group of people
Speaker 1: who are just going to buy something. I have no
Speaker 1: idea what's going on, Like even less so than I
Speaker 1: think most people who are probably into crypto, because you know,
Speaker 1: we saw this too with like the n f T
Speaker 1: s that there they were hawking of like a Milannia
Speaker 1: Trump watercolor and ship and all these other nonsense like
Speaker 1: fucking Trump coins and Trump watercolor. Like you don't need
Speaker 1: is it a watercolor painting of her or a watercolor
Speaker 1: that she paints she made ant so, like you don't
Speaker 1: need an n f T attached to that to make
Speaker 1: it valuable, Like that's a beautiful words art. Fuck out
Speaker 1: of here. They're gonna buy the They're gonna fucking buy
Speaker 1: the jpeg if you let him do it. Wow, amazing,
Speaker 1: amazing things happening in the world of n f T.
Speaker 1: Continue to think the Paris Hilton appearance on Jimmy Fallon
Speaker 1: will be in museums years from now, truly, yeah, before
Speaker 1: before the n f T of Jack Dorsey's tweet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: whim just the completely surreal because yeah, the audience that
Speaker 1: doesn't know what's happening, but it's like cheering for the
Speaker 1: pictures that they're showing them a their n f T
Speaker 1: s like they're pictures of babies. It is, and it'll
Speaker 1: be like babies, babies are the original n f T. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's true, one of a kind. Right now, I'm saying
Speaker 1: that the museum plaque will say like the moment the
Speaker 1: cryptoligarchy started, right yeah, yeah exactly. Did you have anything
Speaker 1: else on babies being the original n f T S.
Speaker 1: I like that idea, um, I mean the it's not
Speaker 1: like a prewritten one, but I you really didn't make
Speaker 1: me think that because literally you have to be in
Speaker 1: that location to create it. There's two people who sign
Speaker 1: off on it at least, you know, and then there's
Speaker 1: a lot of energy that is expounded, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I don't know anything. I've worked this job. Also, i'd
Speaker 1: be speaking in Chinese. Just f y, I saw my code.
Speaker 1: Switching is really difficult. That is a sponge, a lot
Speaker 1: of energy sponge when you give birth, which is like
Speaker 1: minting an n f T. Yeah, you know, sometimes the
Speaker 1: value goes down if the baby ends up being an asshole,
Speaker 1: and if the baby then the value goes up. Yeah
Speaker 1: that's great. Yeah, And I've been making this argument to
Speaker 1: my wife, you know that like that, you know, minting
Speaker 1: an n f T is like giving birth, And I'm like,
Speaker 1: just stop it with all the I'm going to send
Speaker 1: you this video yesterday Zack of the presentation for Crypto Land,
Speaker 1: which is this physical island in Fiji that these crypto
Speaker 1: people are trying to start. And it's like it's like
Speaker 1: fucking Pandora, like of like Avatar, but for crypto bros
Speaker 1: and everything. In this presentation video, it's you can't believe
Speaker 1: what you're watching because it's like an animated three D
Speaker 1: thing and like this bit like human like this manifestation
Speaker 1: of like a bitcoins, like hey, Chris, welcome to the island.
Speaker 1: Like it's the fucking DNA character from Jurassic Park and
Speaker 1: it's oh, he's like, you're here with federal fellow hobblers
Speaker 1: and they're holding on for dear life too, and it's
Speaker 1: like chock full of like cryptomemes and they're trying apparently
Speaker 1: they're trying to build they were I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's still happening, but getting people in this idea of
Speaker 1: this fucking island where everyone can go to and live
Speaker 1: out their crypto fantasies together. But it really just felt
Speaker 1: like the tone of the video and like the energy,
Speaker 1: and it just underscored further like the sense of community
Speaker 1: that a lot of these people are seeking, because that's
Speaker 1: all this thing offered, was like here's a physical place
Speaker 1: where you we can be safe together. And it looks
Speaker 1: like a nightmare, but to you it looks great. That's
Speaker 1: so interesting that you say that community thing, because it's
Speaker 1: like that when you mentioned the idea of like trying
Speaker 1: to get people joint, I was thinking of, like, that's
Speaker 1: how sort of religion spread. But religions have obviously valued
Speaker 1: because it provides the community. But when you get into
Speaker 1: the part where you're like only trying to spread it,
Speaker 1: you know, then it gets creepy, but it's not the
Speaker 1: religion itselfest But just like I don't really think like
Speaker 1: creating new money is intrinsically bad, but what it is
Speaker 1: is just illusional to be like basically, we will have
Speaker 1: gone to a place where it's valuable and unless people
Speaker 1: are trying to get you in, right it's like exclusive
Speaker 1: clubs are trying to keep you out. But right now,
Speaker 1: if you mentioned any crypto person wanting to know more,
Speaker 1: they're like happy to explain it to you because they
Speaker 1: want more people on their side. So it will never
Speaker 1: feel like it's this exclusive thing until that's gone, and
Speaker 1: that's still very much here. It'll feel exclusive when the
Speaker 1: people who have enough of it dump all their ship
Speaker 1: and then leave people holding the bag, and they'll be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're in this new club called like just obscenely wealthy
Speaker 1: where we're fled around in the sky. Is that a
Speaker 1: new coin? No, No, that's the that's the space colony
Speaker 1: we're going to escape too. But the fetishization of these coins,
Speaker 1: these like just ugly j pegs that are like just
Speaker 1: poor bad you know, not even like bad art. They
Speaker 1: don't even like seem to want to be art, but
Speaker 1: like that that's just that's a wild thing that like
Speaker 1: I did, I don't think I had like fully appreciated
Speaker 1: until you just said the like don oh d n
Speaker 1: a version of the n f T thing, because it
Speaker 1: is like, you know, if you've ever known somebody who's
Speaker 1: like really like into a drug or into you know,
Speaker 1: like what whatever they're like obsession is that has changed
Speaker 1: their brain chemistry, they're going to start like projecting weird
Speaker 1: things into that and like you know, fetishizing that, like
Speaker 1: thinking that like there's something beautiful about that thing that
Speaker 1: like there's not really there, it's just your brain chemistry.
Speaker 1: And I feel like we're gonna be seeing more and
Speaker 1: more like that with n f T S and with
Speaker 1: crypto that like just the obsession with whatever the fuck
Speaker 1: form these things are taking. Do you remember when people
Speaker 1: used to buy stars, like that was a thing you
Speaker 1: could just like name a star star that I think
Speaker 1: this is because I think people still can do that,
Speaker 1: but definitely, like it's definitely become a thing where it's
Speaker 1: like this is stupid and I can just tell you
Speaker 1: I name to stop for you. That's the same thing
Speaker 1: as if I wrote to the star people. That's a
Speaker 1: major and the three body problem by the way, problem
Speaker 1: I do too. The third book in the series like
Speaker 1: has a major plot point where they buy a star
Speaker 1: and it like has an impact because like that star
Speaker 1: ends up being important. Anyways, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: will be important? Yeah, I think so. By one. Now
Speaker 1: for Your Sweetheart for four, and we're back, and so
Speaker 1: is the world of J. K. Ralling and the Harry
Speaker 1: Potter Burgs. So Fantastic Beast series is a fucking mess,
Speaker 1: like it kind of has been from Jump Street. Like
Speaker 1: the first one, I remember there was a lot of
Speaker 1: hype and then it came out and everyone's like, what what,
Speaker 1: what fresh hell is this? And and you know, there
Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of love for the first two. I
Speaker 1: think there were two out Maybe I candy, so I
Speaker 1: can't complain when he's I get to stare at him.
Speaker 1: But yeah, movies can't be all bad. When he's on screen.
Speaker 1: You're just like, well, this is eminently watchable. So that
Speaker 1: we're We're now onto The Secrets of Dumbledore, which is
Speaker 1: the newest story. It's set in the same world as
Speaker 1: Harry Potter. Obviously Dumbledore big big time character, and so
Speaker 1: every piece of press that this movie Gets just seems
Speaker 1: to be worse than the previous one. Oh, it's awful.
Speaker 1: If you do a Google search, like Google news search
Speaker 1: of just like Fantastic Beasts, it's everything's like what the
Speaker 1: funk happened? Like this cursed franchise? How did it become
Speaker 1: like the biggest fart of all time? And like that
Speaker 1: was happening before like that, you know, I remember, like
Speaker 1: if you uh, like when the Star Wars prequels came out,
Speaker 1: like the reviews for The Phantom Menace were good, and
Speaker 1: like the box office was huge because people hadn't been
Speaker 1: able to wrap their mind around like oh this sucks
Speaker 1: like this the sucks in a way that like we
Speaker 1: did not see coming. And then the bad reviews and
Speaker 1: the diminishing box office started. I think around the second
Speaker 1: one and then the third one, which ended the trilogy,
Speaker 1: like people came back when we're like no, actually, like
Speaker 1: turns out these are all good, but like Fantastic Beasts,
Speaker 1: like the first one, I remember the reviews being like, huh,
Speaker 1: what the fuck is what is going on? So anyways,
Speaker 1: this one covers Wizarding World. Now I know that they
Speaker 1: like the in the trailer. I don't know if they
Speaker 1: did this before, but I don't know if this is
Speaker 1: consciously because of you know, j K just a complete
Speaker 1: trance person, but they definitely. I feel like the studio
Speaker 1: is like, we're not Harry Potter, We're the Wizarding World,
Speaker 1: the wizard World, you know, the thing we've always called it.
Speaker 1: Nobody has ever just called it that. Like suddenly they're
Speaker 1: just like from the Wizarding World franchise, Like, yeah, just
Speaker 1: throwing you off a little bit, right. You don't want
Speaker 1: to give too much power to anyone except j K,
Speaker 1: whose instincts have been fully on point. So this one
Speaker 1: is about young Dumbledore fighting an evil male wizard who
Speaker 1: happens to be his former lover. But the gay content,
Speaker 1: like you know what should be. It sounds like the
Speaker 1: emotional crux of the film was actually cut out of
Speaker 1: the version released in China, and that that might seem
Speaker 1: like an impossibility based on that log line, but that's
Speaker 1: because it was only it amounted to six seconds. There
Speaker 1: were some seconds that implied that that, let you know,
Speaker 1: the entire reason for this story to be told actually
Speaker 1: involved a gay subtext. We're test It sounds like all
Speaker 1: because Mad's Michelson said a line that said, because I
Speaker 1: was in love with you and the summer Gellard and
Speaker 1: I fell in love. M hmm. They got rid of
Speaker 1: that ship. They're like whoa, whoa, whoa. They're like woman
Speaker 1: like that. They're like cutting out the gay like any
Speaker 1: gay references. But then they're like, because we've come so far.
Speaker 1: Remember when like churches are banning Harry Potter because of magic,
Speaker 1: but now we're just like, Magic's fine, believe in wizards,
Speaker 1: believe in evil, but definitely don't believe gay people. And
Speaker 1: we're back on that. Don't protest too much, okay mhm.
Speaker 1: The female lead of the first two movies was missing
Speaker 1: from all the trailers and posters for the new one,
Speaker 1: which people thought it was weird. She was one of
Speaker 1: the only cast members to call out J. K. Relling
Speaker 1: for her transphobia, and the reason she is missing from
Speaker 1: all those trailers is because she's only in the full
Speaker 1: length movie for barely a minute, and the reason her
Speaker 1: her character's reason that she can't join on the adventures
Speaker 1: because she's quote simply too busy, which seems what that's like.
Speaker 1: Oh how Samantha doing now that she's moved to London
Speaker 1: and not in this show anymore, like really, she's simply
Speaker 1: too busy, Wow, simply too busy, having like a moral compass,
Speaker 1: it almost pointed out, more, I might as well just
Speaker 1: not have her in it and then have a story,
Speaker 1: because it's like now we notice it. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you saw the trailer, this version, but I saw it,
Speaker 1: and it was like at the beginning of everything everywhere
Speaker 1: at once, and the whole beginning is just like it
Speaker 1: sounds like it's an ad for like a commemorative because
Speaker 1: it's like you were we from the studio that brought
Speaker 1: you Harry Potter, and it's like a bunch of flashbacks,
Speaker 1: a bunch of like replays. It's almost like trying to
Speaker 1: remind you, like, hey, I know we've been through a
Speaker 1: lot and we all hate jak Relling, but remember when
Speaker 1: you liked it. Remember remember this, Remember that anyway, we're
Speaker 1: gonna show you a new trailer. We really hope you
Speaker 1: buy a ticket. Like that's what it feels like, right, no,
Speaker 1: And I think you can again just going through these
Speaker 1: headlines that are written about it, like there's so many
Speaker 1: things of saying how fantastic Beasts became Hollywood's most cursed franchise.
Speaker 1: It can like, can this distressed franchise bring the fans back?
Speaker 1: And I think that one ties indirectly to your observation,
Speaker 1: which is like do they fucking like No, it's like
Speaker 1: a fucking Harry Potter movie is probably like what the
Speaker 1: marketing people are like in their meetings and ship, like
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, fucking show Daniel and sucking them
Speaker 1: and all them fucking you know, the expect the almost
Speaker 1: ship in the beginning and then they'll get it right,
Speaker 1: but no, it's for five minutes of the movie here
Speaker 1: just previously on very hard. They're just like show pictures
Speaker 1: of your childhood, like you and your parents enjoined, then
Speaker 1: like remember this, this is the memories for you. So
Speaker 1: maybe you would like a movie. Remember when we used
Speaker 1: to say transvestite and it's like, wait, what did that
Speaker 1: get in there? I'm just saying like we used to
Speaker 1: just saying people's sex matters, folks. I'm like, oh, fuck,
Speaker 1: I think j K must have written this one. Mm hmm,
Speaker 1: but yeah. I mean, so they made the decision to
Speaker 1: cast Johnny Depp at a time when a lot of
Speaker 1: rumors were spoiling, and then it was immediately revealed that
Speaker 1: he was abusive than an asshole. And then there's also
Speaker 1: so they recast Johnny Depp as Mad's Michelson, which can't
Speaker 1: can't argue with a little Mad's in my life. And
Speaker 1: then they like, right as the movie was about to
Speaker 1: premiere as a Miller who is a person that I
Speaker 1: totally know about because I'm he's the Flash, And we
Speaker 1: talked about how he's getting He's always he was getting
Speaker 1: arrested all over the place. Oh is this right before
Speaker 1: the Hawaii incident? I'm guessing I think so, Yeah, so
Speaker 1: that happened. So they're just can't can't figure this one out.
Speaker 1: And on top of that, no one gives a shit
Speaker 1: about these movies to begin with their critically reviled audiences.
Speaker 1: Seeing I'm ambivalent. Studio tried to keep the budget around
Speaker 1: a hundred million, but with COVID it ended up costing
Speaker 1: around two hundred million dollars. And yeah, and the previous
Speaker 1: movies didn't even do that well, even before J. K.
Speaker 1: Rowling came out as like a vocal online bigot. Right,
Speaker 1: So yeah, and that's I think many people just pointing
Speaker 1: to that. They you know, Warner Brothers, couldn't you make
Speaker 1: like they handled it worse than Disney is handling their
Speaker 1: ship right now, right where they're like they can't even
Speaker 1: come out and be like, yeah, she's bad. They're like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: the thing about j K is we're gonna can all
Speaker 1: heard j K. But for real, mans, you made way
Speaker 1: too much money for the studio, so we'll just say,
Speaker 1: you're like really, and what they should do? I feel
Speaker 1: like they should just give money to because the actors
Speaker 1: like Daniel and Emma and like they all, I feel
Speaker 1: like I still beloved and there, and obviously they're like
Speaker 1: moving on with their lives and not coming back to
Speaker 1: do and that's why I think the AMMO don't care anymore.
Speaker 1: It's like, give them all money to make an indie
Speaker 1: film and then like take a cut of whatever like that.
Speaker 1: We'll watch out. I'll watch Daniel Radflff directing. I'll watch
Speaker 1: Emma plots and directing something just in the Harry Potter universe,
Speaker 1: Like that's a train spotting train spotting them out. But
Speaker 1: apparently Warner Brothers is actually like very seriously considering canceling
Speaker 1: the series, which was supposed to run for five films,
Speaker 1: and they're saying it all depends on how The Secrets
Speaker 1: of Dumbledore is received. It came out last week in
Speaker 1: the UK and made a third of what the First
Speaker 1: Fantastic Beast movie did. So I don't know, I write
Speaker 1: I writer jmro that it's not too late to add
Speaker 1: a post credit scene where Harry Potter wakes up from
Speaker 1: a prolonged fever dream after watching Donnie Brasco for the
Speaker 1: first time. Yeah, consider it. You know they should give
Speaker 1: it a give it a shot, or you know what
Speaker 1: they do. What they need to do is the you know,
Speaker 1: Rupert whatever, the Red Hairded Boy is, Emma and Daniel Radcliffe,
Speaker 1: Like they get the people together who were in the
Speaker 1: films and just do a movie where like it ain't
Speaker 1: Harry Potter, but like maybe it is, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like do that real vague in between ship
Speaker 1: where they're like, we're we've all assembled to make this
Speaker 1: other film. I don't know. That's that's my It's my punk,
Speaker 1: my punk rock Hollywood mind. I'm also just because because
Speaker 1: the way that Hollywood works now is they tend to
Speaker 1: give these movies to like a young up and coming director.
Speaker 1: But it looks like now the David Yates was the
Speaker 1: director of the first one. I don't I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think he just made other hand he's done some
Speaker 1: of the other ones, right, yeah, but anyways, those are
Speaker 1: this is what is being made instead of other films, right,
Speaker 1: so this is how we had the pockets of discriminatory bigots. Yeah, like,
Speaker 1: just cut the fucking foscet off. I mean like that's
Speaker 1: where like I feel like, now, Warner Brothers, you got
Speaker 1: a good out, you got what the funk you needed.
Speaker 1: Don't don't further finance ship with this person, and just
Speaker 1: you know, go about your business and make fucking you know,
Speaker 1: new ship, a new stories that actually tend to do
Speaker 1: well at the box office, like you gotta fucking winning
Speaker 1: recipe right in front of you. Well, Teresa as always
Speaker 1: truly a pleasure having you, other than you're disparaging comments
Speaker 1: about lemon flavored things, um, which I cannot Okay, I apologize, Okay,
Speaker 1: you know, look you could like lemon. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: it was overright in my head. But I will say
Speaker 1: I almost one with Elon Muskrat. I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: sure someone already did that. So if that makes you
Speaker 1: feel better, rewrite history, just lemons. I'm with you on
Speaker 1: the lemons. No, no on lemon bars as well, No
Speaker 1: one lemon bars. Yeah see that. Yeah. The pastries are
Speaker 1: where I can't do those I have. I've had a
Speaker 1: good one, you know, and I'm not mad at it,
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't gravitate towards. The only citrus
Speaker 1: dessert that I gravitate towards is key lime pie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I hate like I remember, you know those ships
Speaker 1: that's like chocl like orange flavored chocolate, orange anything orange
Speaker 1: flavored things are not good. I do love oranges. Um.
Speaker 1: I will object to that because Chinese candy orange blazers
Speaker 1: like orange gum. I don't know, he's like the classic
Speaker 1: little Chinese bubble gum skills are so good, so I
Speaker 1: think sometimes they can do it, but they don't. Marmalade
Speaker 1: is really good, but that drived directly from orange. Anyways, Teresa,
