Speaker 1: and then you're back. What's what's it like coming back better?

Speaker 1: getting famous, so I get to appreciate it more. Was
Speaker 1: a place leading indicators and symptoms of COVID. Is that
Speaker 1: it helps your expectations with getting famous? Yeah? Absolutely. You
Speaker 1: do have a photograph of a cat in the same
Speaker 1: laser field that I was photographed in for my third
Speaker 1: grade picture. Behind it's a blanket? Yeah, is that a
Speaker 1: commissioned work or you that's a retail it was a gift.
Speaker 1: This is my cat thunder. Yeah, he also only happens
Speaker 1: when it's raining, but that's also not true. Just can
Speaker 1: we let them know your your cat may only happy
Speaker 1: when it's raining, but the thunder only happening when it's
Speaker 1: raining is not true. And it's I've said it before,
Speaker 1: I'll say it again. I do not listen to Stevie
Speaker 1: Nicks when it comes to her meteorological ice. Mm hmmmm.
Speaker 1: Fox me every time you guys, every single time, I
Speaker 1: feel like, did did you guys have that laser background
Speaker 1: childhood school picture back? I did for one of them. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: ours was like always like some shitty texture, like it
Speaker 1: looked like granite or something. They never they never let
Speaker 1: you like that. You never had the white no no,
Speaker 1: but like everyone would come in there. There would be
Speaker 1: like I think a couple options, but it would just
Speaker 1: be like a green screen and oh god it. Oh no, yeah,
Speaker 1: we had we had just one little sad uh you know,
Speaker 1: seamless that the guy would roll down and it looked
Speaker 1: like just like a painter's like what they like put
Speaker 1: down on the ground when you're painting. Because it's kind
Speaker 1: of like splatter painting on canvas. I don't know, it
Speaker 1: was just very uninteresting. Never arrived to the laser level,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. The thing I remember the most was
Speaker 1: had the same guy every year and he would always
Speaker 1: like call you out on something and then say that
Speaker 1: instead of cheese, like he would be like, hey, you
Speaker 1: look like you eat a lot of hamburgers, say hamburger?
Speaker 1: Did you got? I had the same ur This one
Speaker 1: dude had our school pictures on the lock too. I
Speaker 1: remember he was a guy who was like this big
Speaker 1: dude who had a ponytail and always wore shorts and
Speaker 1: like I always just remember his like high white socks
Speaker 1: and his shorts and he would always be like, oh,
Speaker 1: this guy's got ears. Huh oh, look right here being
Speaker 1: boom and I'm like, yo, are you talking? Like yeah,
Speaker 1: it seems like I don't know, like if there was
Speaker 1: a tereology to this kind of thing where it's like
Speaker 1: get you with a line, distract you, disorient you, ask
Speaker 1: you to smile, then I got it or maybe say
Speaker 1: something that. Because he would also do sad ass jokes.
Speaker 1: I remember being in mind like let's do fuck, did
Speaker 1: I told you? About my ex wife. Maybe this kid
Speaker 1: that rich parents say macaroni right, fuck, what a racket?
Speaker 1: What they're they're still doing it. They're still for their school,
Speaker 1: but that ship at home. They still they still do
Speaker 1: it even though, Like there's a photograph of my kids
Speaker 1: probably for every hour they've been alive, just because I
Speaker 1: like taking pictures of them. I think they're cute. And
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's true of most children who are alive
Speaker 1: today taking pictures of them. Oh yeah, yeah, that's that's true,
Speaker 1: most children taking picture They're so cute. Look over here, years,
Speaker 1: That's what I like to say to them. Hey, years,
Speaker 1: what that's all my pictures of me? Like in the
Speaker 1: middle of being like, my face is like I was
Speaker 1: hurt by that comment. Yeah, alright, Stephen, we're gonna get
Speaker 1: to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: a couple of things we're talking about. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about Trump going on NPR and just getting owned severe
Speaker 1: ownage by questions. Yeah, like the att rapper of NPR.

Speaker 1: even get to the Oscars, which are looking at having
Speaker 1: a host again. Oh yes, look at that, and it
Speaker 1: will be Tim Allen. Yeah. Before we get to any
Speaker 1: of that, we do like to ask our guests, Stephen,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history? Well? I was
Speaker 1: looking this up because not to brag, but I'm working
Speaker 1: on a bit of a screenplay. So like all my
Speaker 1: Hollywood all my search things are like just trying to
Speaker 1: make sure my references are right, like or like trying
Speaker 1: to think of something to put in it. So in order,
Speaker 1: I've got coffeemaker cleaning tabs, the Jamie Kennedy experiment, one
Speaker 1: hit wonders from the two thousand's Blacklisted Celebrities, finance related holidays,
Speaker 1: and then jumping a Ramsey. Okay, what it all leads
Speaker 1: back to John being a rams And give me a
Speaker 1: logline for the script? You know, don't don't you know?
Speaker 1: I don't have to reveal everything, but what if the
Speaker 1: guy was sad? All right, I love it and had
Speaker 1: a computer? Yeah yeah, and Google and uh and final
Speaker 1: and final draft. Well, I'm still on the trial, so
Speaker 1: fingers crossed I get it done by then, hopefully I
Speaker 1: got five more days to it's a great motivator. Yeah yeah, right,
Speaker 1: So if you use another fake email to sign up
Speaker 1: for a trial copy, it's a great clock menace threat. Well,
Speaker 1: a little screenwriting. So what what's I mean? Let me
Speaker 1: why was it hockey machine? Cleaning tablets? How you said
Speaker 1: coffee made cleaning tablets. That's a thing? Yeah, like little
Speaker 1: they then they dissolve in the water and then you
Speaker 1: run the water through the coffee maker and it cleans
Speaker 1: it up. Yeah. God, Okay, so this is an action film.
Speaker 1: It's a buddy comedy. Okay, I got it, got it?
Speaker 1: Got Oh yeah, I put the cleaning tabs in the
Speaker 1: coffee maker, Roger, and Roger is a cleaning tab He's like,
Speaker 1: what do you want me to kill myself? My favorite
Speaker 1: genre of movies are are the ones that you start
Speaker 1: out thinking they're about one thing, but then in the
Speaker 1: end they're actually about John ben A Ramsey, Like The Rock, Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: like that nine eleven movie, the one where it's Rob
Speaker 1: Pattinson and then you find out at the end it's right,
Speaker 1: because yours end with a reveal. Hold back the it's
Speaker 1: the the neighbor, Like you pull back from a Home
Speaker 1: Loan remake and then like he happen to live next
Speaker 1: door to John ban A Ramsey because Christmas Christmas starts
Speaker 1: out as a John ban A Ramsey thing and then
Speaker 1: you zoom like the final the final scene finally like
Speaker 1: makes the ultimate sacrifice the coffee tap does and let's
Speaker 1: the other guy clean the coffee pot and then it
Speaker 1: zooms out branch Davidian compound. I love this. Do people
Speaker 1: know about that Robert Pattinson movie? Like it was a
Speaker 1: talking for a little bit time, but because the revealer
Speaker 1: is someone just scrawling it on a blackboard, right like
Speaker 1: today's date? Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Last seeing his inter
Speaker 1: cut between he has gone to meet somebody at the
Speaker 1: World Trade Center. We're intercutting that with somebody who's in class.
Speaker 1: The teacher just writes a nine eleven on the on
Speaker 1: the chalkboard, and then cut back to him and you
Speaker 1: pull out and he's in at the top of the
Speaker 1: World Trade Center as like a plane is coming in,
Speaker 1: and then you planes coming in and him and Mark
Speaker 1: Wahlberg lock eyes through his window seat you to be continued,
Speaker 1: Is that Edward Cullen? Yeah, I mean I would love
Speaker 1: to just to see a John Bennet spin at the end.
Speaker 1: If if that's what you're going in for, so I'm
Speaker 1: signed up boom. What is what something you think is
Speaker 1: over it? Something I think is overrated is the hate
Speaker 1: that is already popping up over wordle, like the the
Speaker 1: takes on wordle and it's popularity because I think we
Speaker 1: had the mannequin challenge, We've had, We've had some like challenge,
Speaker 1: so like it's a trend that like makes people think
Speaker 1: a little bit like do it all you want? Because
Speaker 1: I remember just seeing like the first article be like
Speaker 1: why are people posting their wordles things on Twitter? And
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know if it's a fucking game,
Speaker 1: Like why is there an article examining like the why
Speaker 1: of it? Like clearly it's something that's become popular, But
Speaker 1: it's like a scrabble type game. It's like a it's
Speaker 1: a your you guess, So you try to guess a
Speaker 1: word and then it tells you how many letters you've
Speaker 1: gotten right or are in the word but somewhere else
Speaker 1: or not in the word at all, and you go
Speaker 1: down six times trying to figure out what the word is.
Speaker 1: Mm hm m m. Yeah, I'm pretty good at it.
Speaker 1: I gotta say, I have resisted the temptation to put
Speaker 1: it out there, put out my scores, but I've gotten
Speaker 1: it one out of seven times, so I'm fucking nailing it. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you've actually hopped in based on the what you
Speaker 1: saw on Twitter? I mean I I like funk with
Speaker 1: the New York Times crossword puzzle and like they're you're
Speaker 1: a short boy. Yeah, I do the the long one
Speaker 1: and the what's the words scramble one where you gotta
Speaker 1: make up as many words as possible bobble. Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: is that what it's called? Bobby game? The little the
Speaker 1: board game? Yeah? But this I like word word is fun?
Speaker 1: So yeah? Are you? Are you a word ale head? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I am? Now yeah. After after I saw people hating
Speaker 1: on it, I was like, well, these people are dumb.
Speaker 1: You know what I do? I drive right into the hatred,
Speaker 1: makes sense of it. There. Are you good though? Uh?
Speaker 1: Pretty good? I'm pretty good. Yeah, it's not that completion rate.
Speaker 1: Have you changed? Have you shared any of your Oh?
Speaker 1: Christ no, I would, I would never I've but like
Speaker 1: I have seen other people share their results, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I got that one sooner, I'm gonna But then I
Speaker 1: don't I resist the urge to And is that like
Speaker 1: people are hating because some people are like just being
Speaker 1: like word yeah yeah, maybe or maybe people just don't
Speaker 1: like a thing that they don't understand. I would also
Speaker 1: seems to be we have we got so much fucking stress,
Speaker 1: like why waste your fucking energy being like they're freaking
Speaker 1: hate word scores, like seriously, like, and I get people
Speaker 1: are frustrated, So we're we're all just big thundercras clouds
Speaker 1: looking for a lightning rod to strike down our energy onto.
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you it's not gonna it's not gonna
Speaker 1: change anything. Articulating your anger at the word. There's other outlets,
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, like does Bozo Trump And we'll talk about
Speaker 1: him later. Thanks, thank you want some of the chew
Speaker 1: on folks. But the thunder doesn't only happen when it's raining.
Speaker 1: Because we've covered what is something that you think is underrated?
Speaker 1: Stephen Supply chain issues. Supply chain. Yeah, I think not
Speaker 1: having a P five has really helped me with my productivity.
Speaker 1: So you're saying it's good, thank you. Yeah, blessed, blessed
Speaker 1: to have a chip's shortage? Is your character that the
Speaker 1: main character is like searching for a PS five in
Speaker 1: the script though it's like still entering your consciousness, or
Speaker 1: they're searching for a turbomn action figure. Actually, oh my god,
Speaker 1: and it's John and Patsy Ramsey for Christmas. She's gonna
Speaker 1: be so upset if we home and we got a
Speaker 1: turbo mat. Oh my god. That's so they're out shopping
Speaker 1: the whole time. They never say say their full name.
Speaker 1: And then they get home finally getting the thing and
Speaker 1: the daughter. And I really hate to spoil it, but
Speaker 1: sin Bad does it because he so mad and a
Speaker 1: turbo man. Totally a breakout role for him, because it's
Speaker 1: like Sindbad has been so family friendly. It's like when
Speaker 1: like Robin Williams did like one Hour Photo and people were,
Speaker 1: what the Is there a more unfamily friendly role than
Speaker 1: that the killer? I don't think that you're a child
Speaker 1: murder or No. Yeah, I think that's up there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, well I'm looking forward to that movie Hitting
Speaker 1: the Black. The Black probably first, do not forget it
Speaker 1: ends with Waco. I can't stress that. It's it's all
Speaker 1: the John Bane stuff. Sinbad's the Killer. There's also a
Speaker 1: b plot about coffee, Queeny Tabs, and Waco right the
Speaker 1: right as the trucks are coming in with a t F. Guys, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Janet Reno's just popping out the sun if you look closely,
Speaker 1: Janet Reno's also looking for a turbo Man ball in
Speaker 1: the store frenzy scene. Yeah, he's actually who they modeled
Speaker 1: turbo Man after. That's true. Yeah, okay, don't give it
Speaker 1: all away. What a great riff this has been. Someone's
Speaker 1: already appreciate that it feels good to stretch the legs
Speaker 1: again and just banter about nothing important at all. We're
Speaker 1: just blue sky in this screenplay idea. Man, anything can happen,
Speaker 1: Anything happen. I do wonder if the supply chain issues
Speaker 1: just disrupting the constant stream of being able to get
Speaker 1: everything you want whenever you want, it has made people
Speaker 1: like see the matrix of like the version of consumer
Speaker 1: and consumerism that we live in. They're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess I'm okay with just the stuff that I
Speaker 1: have for a couple of weeks. Maybe I had to
Speaker 1: kill a board the their day. Right. There's been a
Speaker 1: lot of articles about how like a lot of especially
Speaker 1: small businesses, have had to like ideate around certain things
Speaker 1: they used to get to still keep like their businesses going,
Speaker 1: like whether that's like the containers that they put their
Speaker 1: products in and things like that. But yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I think for a lot of people it's it's a
Speaker 1: good it's a good organic pumping of the brakes. When
Speaker 1: you go from like I should have everything I need
Speaker 1: within fifteen seconds to being like, yeah, okay, I can.
Speaker 1: I can now think about a purchase and then what
Speaker 1: way whether or not I need to wait nine months
Speaker 1: for it, or if there's another thing or I'm just
Speaker 1: in cotton. The rat race of buying shit unless it's
Speaker 1: like obviously vitally critical, you know, medicine, but other than that,
Speaker 1: like and get it together, get it together, people together asthmatics,
Speaker 1: come on, your ventolin is taking too long to get
Speaker 1: get it right or pay the price anybody watching? So yeah,
Speaker 1: so your sort best. When we think about you, it
Speaker 1: makes me want to fart. Okay, look we're really stretching
Speaker 1: this thing, camp no one. I don't think a lot
Speaker 1: of people think about that part, like in the intro
Speaker 1: and when we think about you and it makes me
Speaker 1: want to fart, and he goes say it right or
Speaker 1: pay the price, like just sort of like that segue
Speaker 1: part in the opening. Hey, man, that's why we get
Speaker 1: paid the big bucks. You know, hidden yicle when there's
Speaker 1: like a somebody's talking like they come yeah and you
Speaker 1: still vamp on that. Well, it's a long way to
Speaker 1: the bus stop. Wow, some someone. I'm realistic that that
Speaker 1: camp counselor knows how to play the piano, to be honest. Wow, Okay,
Speaker 1: doesn't he seem like more of like a gym teacher
Speaker 1: type than a music teacher type. Yeah, but people got
Speaker 1: fucking all. People contain multitudes. Man. Also, I don't think
Speaker 1: there was another adult on that show, so you have
Speaker 1: to fill them vaulted. Yeah, well as you are chef,
Speaker 1: piano player and lifeguard. Mr Earnest he owned the ranch.
Speaker 1: Oh what are you thinking, hey dude? Yeah yeah, wait
Speaker 1: oh wait, wait what are you thinking of them? I'm
Speaker 1: completely on a wanna is what it's? Drink snort ana,
Speaker 1: wanna smoking on smoke marijuana? Wanna there it is? Oh
Speaker 1: that's fun. Reboot. Bud Nick still bud Nick. Oh my god, alright,
Speaker 1: good bud Nick selling fucking wild weed. Man, just keep
Speaker 1: all this stuff. We gotta we gotta keep all this.
Speaker 1: This is post credit sequence. Yeah, Kevin Ugly, Kevin Nugly nugs.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, just say less. They're gonna fucking CBS
Speaker 1: television is gonna come from us Paramount plus baby. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick bright we'll be right back,
Speaker 1: and we're back. Yeah. That hopefully, hopefully stayed for the
Speaker 1: entire hour long camp wanna wanna riff your short riff?
Speaker 1: There it is. Took us into the commercial break, but
Speaker 1: we're back to get down to the brass tacks. Talk
Speaker 1: about this Trump guy. Yeah, yeah, right, I guess that's it.
Speaker 1: Remember that Trump by a Trump guy? Right? You know
Speaker 1: this clip that came out on Wednesday, Well, you know
Speaker 1: went viral because I for somehow we saw Donald Trump
Speaker 1: on NPR and it was like they're like Steven Skip
Speaker 1: I think starts the inn of you being like yeah, man,
Speaker 1: we're trying to get you on here. Since um like, yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you so much, let's talk. And this was a
Speaker 1: very bad interview for Trump basically because he was being
Speaker 1: asked to direct questions about his insistence on battling election
Speaker 1: fraud claims, and he was confronted with like direct quotes
Speaker 1: from other Republicans who were like we lost Farren Square
Speaker 1: or you know, election officials being like, yeah, I'm a
Speaker 1: Republican and I did this audit for the party and
Speaker 1: we found no anomalies that would, you know, change the
Speaker 1: results in any fashion. Maybe some administrative things, but nothing
Speaker 1: that would arise to the level of like fraud or corruption.
Speaker 1: So essentially the message to him was like, hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep showing you evidence that you lost very fairly,
Speaker 1: and now you, I guess you can just keep denying it.
Speaker 1: And that's what the most of the interview was like
Speaker 1: for about eight minutes, until which point it was clear
Speaker 1: that Trump began really feeling the heat of this interview
Speaker 1: because again on NPR, so you're not being interviewed by
Speaker 1: a sick aphan, like you know, Steven Skip isn't necessarily,
Speaker 1: you know, putting him to the sword. But he is
Speaker 1: pretty consistent by just asking like, but why are you
Speaker 1: saying that? But what about this? But what about this?
Speaker 1: And there's nothing worse for someone who is used to
Speaker 1: someone accepting your lies than someone being like, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: but what about this direct thing from another person in reality?
Speaker 1: And then this is the part where he essentially he
Speaker 1: had too much, and he sadly bolted from the entire interview.
Speaker 1: How come when he went to speak in different locations
Speaker 1: nobody came to watch, But all of a sudden he
Speaker 1: got eighty million votes. If if you're forgiving, maybe because
Speaker 1: the election was about you, If I can just move
Speaker 1: on to ask, are you telling Republicans in two that
Speaker 1: they must press your case on the past election in
Speaker 1: order to get your endorsement? Is that gonna do whatever
Speaker 1: they want to do, whatever they have to do, They're
Speaker 1: going to do. But the ones that are smart, the
Speaker 1: ones that know, you take a look at again, you
Speaker 1: take a look at how Carrie Lake is doing running
Speaker 1: for governor. She's very big on this issue. She's leading
Speaker 1: by a lot. People have no idea how big this
Speaker 1: issue is. That they don't want it to happen again.
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be allowed to happen, and they don't want
Speaker 1: it to happen again. One of the only way it's
Speaker 1: not going to happen again is you have to solve
Speaker 1: the problem of the presidential rigged election. Mr President, One
Speaker 1: more question I want to ask about a court hearing
Speaker 1: yesterday on January six, Judge and meet Meta he's gone, okay,
Speaker 1: so you know he's still got it. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: he's still learning how to bolt at the right time,
Speaker 1: just as like real direct questions are being asked, and yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, like, look, it's clear he's just this ad
Speaker 1: old man who can't stomach the idea that he is
Speaker 1: bullshit and every when most people know it unless they're
Speaker 1: like a supporter or drone. And you know, the thing
Speaker 1: he kept harping on in terms of like trying to
Speaker 1: reinforce this idea of the fraud, which is why he
Speaker 1: starts up being like, tell me why Biden gets eight
Speaker 1: million votes. It's like because people eight million people don't
Speaker 1: like you or prefer Joe Byron to you. And he
Speaker 1: kept saying like I got the most votes for a
Speaker 1: sitting president. Who else ever got votes? And Stevenski was like, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: I understand you got the most votes, but you still lost.
Speaker 1: So you know, the getting the most votes as a
Speaker 1: sitting president isn't an election strategy or gets you to
Speaker 1: the number of Electoral College votes you need. You need
Speaker 1: to win fifty plus one in most states too, then
Speaker 1: add your like whatever, Okay, so on one of only
Speaker 1: thirty six presidents who have not died in office. So right,
Speaker 1: so I think Joe Biden is cheating. Okay, that's what
Speaker 1: this all blows down to. But you know, at a minimum,
Speaker 1: I appreciate the kind of direct questioning that you know,
Speaker 1: Steven skip was, you know, offering, just in the sense
Speaker 1: because most people Donald Trump will come on, mostly because
Speaker 1: he's going on Fox, are very Trump friendly networks. They
Speaker 1: ask a question that if it was a real journalist,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't accept the lie that they told, and they
Speaker 1: just pivot like, Okay, thank you for that lie. We've
Speaker 1: accepted it. Now this next talking point will accept his reality.
Speaker 1: Please go ahead. But yeah, yeah, I mean I don't
Speaker 1: like this isn't getting picked up anywhere really that his
Speaker 1: viewers would be right, No, I mean they're probably if anything,
Speaker 1: they're like, it was a hit job at NPR asking
Speaker 1: about these congress people who are also Republicans who claimed
Speaker 1: the election wasn't stolen. I wonder what the play was
Speaker 1: to even go on NPR. What was the what was
Speaker 1: the point of that? What did he think he he
Speaker 1: would get away with? Right, Yeah, I think that's it's interesting.
Speaker 1: It's it may be clear that you know he was
Speaker 1: having trouble in January six right, he wanted to do
Speaker 1: this whole live thing, and no networks would pick it
Speaker 1: up basically, and that's why he didn't do it. So
Speaker 1: he's like, funk this. I don't know if he just said,
Speaker 1: they'll have me on and I can talk and you know,
Speaker 1: be confrontational, because when the interview starts, Trump the only
Speaker 1: thing he's thinking about is if they're live, like would
Speaker 1: be live Steve and we uh and he's like, no, sir,
Speaker 1: this is we're not going live. This is preticked and
Speaker 1: he's like, okay, fine, So I don't know. When you
Speaker 1: read his energy at the start of it, you're like,
Speaker 1: did you just want to be on live anything? And
Speaker 1: then they're like, I don't know. Fucking NPR would probably
Speaker 1: do it and be like completely blown away because when
Speaker 1: they first start off, the first questions around vaccines and
Speaker 1: like he's like, what advice would you give to Americans
Speaker 1: who haven't chosen to get vaccinated? That's essentially his first question.
Speaker 1: So there's no like, hey, tell us about this rally
Speaker 1: you have coming up, you know, like sort of PR
Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't know. It's it's very interesting to
Speaker 1: see him on places where you know they aren't maggot out.
Speaker 1: I'm told the the are we Live thing was more
Speaker 1: about he wanted to boba Billy the interview at the end. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean so well, one thing that I'm just I'm
Speaker 1: seeing in there's a CNN article and uh Washington or
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal article Hillary the case for a Comeback
Speaker 1: it's happening. So that's sounds like a murder mystery, the
Speaker 1: Case for the Comeback. Yeah, I mean it would be
Speaker 1: essentially what a terrible idea? Yeah, I think people are
Speaker 1: looking at the fact that Biden sinks to Biden's approval
Speaker 1: is now at like an all time low. It's a
Speaker 1: thirty I think, and they're trying to figure out, like,
Speaker 1: who could we run that would be even less popular
Speaker 1: than Biden in this election. Well, I think because all
Speaker 1: of this strategizing is it has to ignore the basic
Speaker 1: fact that all these systems that we exist inside of
Speaker 1: within the US are failing at every turn. So it's
Speaker 1: not that Joe Biden's on popular. I mean, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he is, but he's doing funk all to actually address
Speaker 1: like what it like ails the country very in a
Speaker 1: very tangible way. And they're just trying to act like
Speaker 1: maybe we need Hiller, Like no, maybe you need to
Speaker 1: pay people to stay home. Maybe you need a relief
Speaker 1: and we need student debt relief. Maybe we need healthcare.
Speaker 1: Maybe we need actionable results or you know, policies on
Speaker 1: climate change. But yeah, it's yeah, bringing bring Hillary back,
Speaker 1: because already it sounds like there's a riff between Trump
Speaker 1: and Rhonda Santis. Later on Wednesday, he said some ship
Speaker 1: he went on O A N. It was like talking
Speaker 1: about like, you know, Rhonda Santis was asked if he
Speaker 1: was recently like boosted, and he's like, I don't I
Speaker 1: have the regular thing. I don't feel like I need
Speaker 1: to really disclose, blah blah blah. And then Trump was
Speaker 1: like your gutlass. He's like, if you didn't, if you
Speaker 1: had the boost or not. He's just say it so people,
Speaker 1: some politicians are gutless. So he's already coming at Rhonda
Speaker 1: Santis and he's gone after Brian Kemp. It's I don't know, like,
Speaker 1: you know what looks like if you find a Republican
Speaker 1: who's like, I bet I can take the Maga throne
Speaker 1: from Trump and see if I can go head to
Speaker 1: head because I'm feeling myself. Yeah, as long as he's
Speaker 1: still alive, they'll fail. Like, I mean, he's He's the
Speaker 1: entire party at this point. Nobody's gonna succeed in doing that.
Speaker 1: I don't love to see Hillary versus Nugent, Hillary versus Nugent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, what if it was Clinton Nugent on a
Speaker 1: ticket just to really confuse people, be like fun, Man,
Speaker 1: I think Ted will balance her out. I think that's
Speaker 1: a I have to think about that. The interview, the
Speaker 1: NPR interview did remind me how much he is exactly,
Speaker 1: Like all all the impressions just gave me a new
Speaker 1: appreciation for like, oh, this could be that guy from
Speaker 1: SNL who does a Trump impression like that. He is
Speaker 1: an actual cartoon of himself that's truly just hits, all
Speaker 1: the hits, all the notes. It's so stream of consciousness.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm like, is he a grounding? Like he's Dell Close.
Speaker 1: It's really he is what we thought he was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and yeah, we call that Trump jazz, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. He just goes off off prompter and he's
Speaker 1: like watch this solo. I guess there was a part
Speaker 1: of me that was like a little worried he was
Speaker 1: like going to comeback with like a tighter, like a
Speaker 1: honed like messaging and presentation. And you know, I was
Speaker 1: going to start reading those Hitler speech books that were
Speaker 1: that he kept by his bedside for for years. It
Speaker 1: was the only book in his bedroom. Not a red
Speaker 1: flag at all. But it seems like he's still just
Speaker 1: he's got one speed and it works well for him.
Speaker 1: But yeah, because I mean, yeah, some of his answers
Speaker 1: to someone like when question Stevens keeps outs like why
Speaker 1: is it that you think the vast majority of your
Speaker 1: allies in the U. S. Senate are not standing behind you,
Speaker 1: Miss McConnell. Yeah, because ms mcmon because Ms McConnell's a loser.
Speaker 1: That's literally his answer was it could have that fucking
Speaker 1: sound word like a big stupid dummy head. Yea, who
Speaker 1: is your daddy and what does he do? Yeah? Alright,
Speaker 1: let's talk about Prince Andrew real quick. A Manhattan judge
Speaker 1: has announced that or has refused to dismiss a case
Speaker 1: against him from Virginia Giuffrey. So I mean this is
Speaker 1: we already saw how he held up in a carefully
Speaker 1: choreographed interview where he was able to like bring in
Speaker 1: notes and prepare and knew the questions heading in because
Speaker 1: there was only like one real question that was going
Speaker 1: to be asked in that case scarves like scarves drifting
Speaker 1: down before to just be crushed out of the park.
Speaker 1: And still was like, yeah, he stammered through an excuse
Speaker 1: about sweat, like his inability to sweat while he appeared
Speaker 1: to be sweating, And yeah, I mean he is probably
Speaker 1: like the person who has encountered the least like actual
Speaker 1: human interactions in the history or one of the probably
Speaker 1: top five like living humans who like from the age
Speaker 1: zero on to this point, has never encountered somebody who
Speaker 1: was like telling him the truth, you know, like they
Speaker 1: were always just telling him what they thought he wanted
Speaker 1: to do. Here, like he could he could be a
Speaker 1: psychological experiment. And the idea of that being put on
Speaker 1: a trial, yeah, like literally, like he's basically the Truman Show.
Speaker 1: The fact that that then he would be put on
Speaker 1: trial and like asked questions that have the weight of law.
Speaker 1: Is I think a lot of people are rooting for it,
Speaker 1: and obviously like if you want justice, this is a child,
Speaker 1: he's sexually assaulted, So yeah, it's the old that would
Speaker 1: be an interesting case to see how that all plays out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like to your point, like yeah, it's being a child
Speaker 1: star or something where it's like, yeah, man, you're kind
Speaker 1: of gonna you're gonna live in a bizarre reality as
Speaker 1: being part of the monarchy, Like you're not gonna have
Speaker 1: people been like yo, Andrew man, you full of ship man.
Speaker 1: Why don't you pipe down really quick? Man? Just get
Speaker 1: yourself adults you're talking here. It would be like, yes,
Speaker 1: your highness, Like I can't imagine you're built to then
Speaker 1: face criminal charges and you know, somehow find yourself in
Speaker 1: an environment where you have to stand to account for
Speaker 1: your actions. Wasn't there something about like he didn't think
Speaker 1: he could get he should be on trial because his
Speaker 1: transgressions were included in a deal with Epstein. That's right
Speaker 1: where he was like where that was going down, and
Speaker 1: he was like, hey, hey, hey put me in there too.
Speaker 1: So that was that was that pretty good admission of guilt.
Speaker 1: I just be like, hey, I did it, but it
Speaker 1: was already handled. I thought, right, wait what that? So
Speaker 1: that was the case where Epstein like pled guilty but
Speaker 1: like did a deal with somebody who I think worked
Speaker 1: in both Obama and Trump administrations two basically do a
Speaker 1: deal that was like, Okay, i'll do ten months community service, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Alexander Hasten, I'll do ten months community service and like
Speaker 1: stay at this nice resort that's supposedly a prison. But
Speaker 1: you can't be mean to anybody who I know, was
Speaker 1: essentially the deal, right. Yeah, so it's and I guess
Speaker 1: the judges like that doesn't seem to hold up anymore.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for him. Yeah, what mechanically, how do you
Speaker 1: do that? Legally? I'm just understanding you can't be mean
Speaker 1: to anyone. And then that's why it was like I
Speaker 1: showed poor judgment in that case. That's that's a euphemism
Speaker 1: if I've heard one. Yeah, anyways, let's take a quick
Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back. Yeah, and we're back.
Speaker 1: And Miles, I know you're huge in the n f
Speaker 1: T world. You're always you know, I bought one, took
Speaker 1: an l Did you really about thirty n f T
Speaker 1: like way back and like this it is like it's
Speaker 1: like worth this and it's not doing it And I'm like, ah,
Speaker 1: that's why about us? Yeah? Well, was it didn't have
Speaker 1: any like anything cool about it? Was it a drawing
Speaker 1: of any type. It's the frog, but with jist body exactly.
Speaker 1: I don't think I wouldn't know that. I don't think
Speaker 1: i'd be able to tell the difference. Oh you would
Speaker 1: just a hype thing. Really, once you see a gunn body,
Speaker 1: you can't unsee it. I'll tell you that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I dabbled, but was just I don't know
Speaker 1: what the funk I'm doing. And also I don't have
Speaker 1: the bandwidth to get super versed in like what a
Speaker 1: good n F T could be. But you're also our
Speaker 1: expert on like private restaurants and like eating eating clubs,
Speaker 1: dining clubs, So you like the Soho house would be
Speaker 1: cool if it was more exclusive. I think you always
Speaker 1: said crypto based. Can imagine crypto based SOHO house? Can
Speaker 1: you imagine a place you'd want to be more elbow
Speaker 1: to elbow with like minded fucking lizard people. I don't
Speaker 1: know what the feeling allot of interlacing your fingers from
Speaker 1: both hands while biting your bottom lip. Synergy and then
Speaker 1: you're saying the word synergy and walking out of the room. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like that's kind of your beat. Hey man, take my pen.
Speaker 1: It's a mom blanc, you know, you can have it
Speaker 1: and then you wow, thanks tech guy. But yes, n
Speaker 1: f T restaurant is the thing. And again, what kind
Speaker 1: of just for y'all, what kind of images are conjured
Speaker 1: in your heads when you hear n f T restaurant.
Speaker 1: I'm curious, I'm just hearing that. What that does to
Speaker 1: your mind? Uh? Themed? N f T themed? So yeah,
Speaker 1: but like Pete with chard Yard's body on the walls
Speaker 1: and like, stop trying to make your pepe jarren f happened?
Speaker 1: Do you want? Do you want beef or non fungible tofu?
Speaker 1: Like that's sort of all the items, all the items
Speaker 1: are and beef. It's like beef with a crypto bro,
Speaker 1: you know you want beef, Homie, we're talking about decentralized
Speaker 1: movement is sucking falling off the tracks? You're talking about
Speaker 1: to Planet Hollywood with with just but for the n
Speaker 1: f T like moment the year that I just see
Speaker 1: like a bunch of Elon musk musk wanna bees up
Speaker 1: in there, Like I bet every single person thinks Elon
Speaker 1: is this ship in restaurant like that, maybe they make
Speaker 1: like like a burger, okay, but then they never make
Speaker 1: that burger again. For anyone else. I mean that is
Speaker 1: so you're like, can I have a burger? Like, no,
Speaker 1: man did that three weeks ago for a guy, So
Speaker 1: pick something else, man burger with ketchup. It's like nothing.
Speaker 1: You're like, well, what dishes have not been made? It's
Speaker 1: like you gotta do your research for it. Come in here, man,
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of tables. I gotta go nothing.
Speaker 1: This last guy just took fruitcake. Yeah. No. When you
Speaker 1: ask me what n f T restaurant makes me think
Speaker 1: of it, my true answer is it makes my brain
Speaker 1: shut down. And like going to a fetal possession position
Speaker 1: or possession by a fetus feed. I got busted for
Speaker 1: fetal possession for a friend time. Yeah, I like more
Speaker 1: religious possession, demonic possession by the demon fetus. But all
Speaker 1: that to say is this place is real and I
Speaker 1: picture like so much like nouveaux reiche bullshit, like where
Speaker 1: like the RAB Report is their bible, like those kinds
Speaker 1: of people. For people to know the RAB Report, it's
Speaker 1: like the rich people like hottest ship you can buy
Speaker 1: magazine basically, so if you ever need to be like,
Speaker 1: these are the things poor people could never afford. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the rob report like sky Mall. Come on, come on, man,
Speaker 1: we're not We're not. It's not that fancy. Just in
Speaker 1: between yeah, it's just in between sky Mall and the
Speaker 1: hummack Er schlimmer Cata. But this place is you say,
Speaker 1: what the fund is an FT restaurant. Well, it's something
Speaker 1: that is actually coming to New York City in the
Speaker 1: first half of the next year. And it's called the
Speaker 1: fly Fish Club. See it already sounds fucking horrible and
Speaker 1: it's like, so how house. But the way you get
Speaker 1: a membership is by purchasing an n f T. That
Speaker 1: is your membership. That's how you enter. So you say, like,
Speaker 1: what the wait, what okay, find your person in FT?
Speaker 1: But what's the club actually? Like? This is this is
Speaker 1: from this article on grub Street from the New York
Speaker 1: I Think New York magazine, saying that it's gonna have
Speaker 1: quote a cocktail lounge and upscale seafood restaurant and ohmakase
Speaker 1: room reserved for top tier members only, and and and
Speaker 1: outdoor space spanning more than ten tho square feet quote
Speaker 1: in iconic New York City location. And the article goes
Speaker 1: on to say, although that exact location has not yet
Speaker 1: been announced. Okay, right, so what does it take to
Speaker 1: get in? You buy one of these n f T s.
Speaker 1: Last Friday they dropped fifty tokens that you could buy
Speaker 1: as your membership, and they're gone, Like they were pretty
Speaker 1: much bought up pretty quickly. The standard membership, which gets
Speaker 1: you like into the lounge and the seafood restaurant, was
Speaker 1: going for like two and a half ethereum, so about
Speaker 1: like almost eight thousand dollars. And if you want the
Speaker 1: oh maak, say you want the fucking the baller version,
Speaker 1: you had to pay close to fourteen thousand dollars for
Speaker 1: one of those tokens. And the way they're also presenting
Speaker 1: it to people who buy the tokens is like it's
Speaker 1: a passive income opportunity man, because you'll be able to
Speaker 1: lease your membership to some other hype beast who wants
Speaker 1: to get up in there. And now you can make
Speaker 1: a little scratch because they're using your like they're like
Speaker 1: subleasing your n f T to get access to this restaurant. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is a take I I can admit, but and
Speaker 1: that's a bit that's a bit much a membership to
Speaker 1: a restaurants not great. But if there's any use for
Speaker 1: an n f T. A membership card is sort of
Speaker 1: a bad like way, like, oh, I get it, like
Speaker 1: a unique a unique picture that can only be authenticated
Speaker 1: by the owner, and you use that to get into
Speaker 1: things or like your gym membership or I don't know,
Speaker 1: plane tickets or something. I could say, I could see
Speaker 1: that working instead of, you know, just betting on them
Speaker 1: that they'll go up in price, but as an actual,
Speaker 1: like useful thing to confirm one's identity, not bad. This
Speaker 1: is well, this is your your identity will be confirmed
Speaker 1: as baller because already if you want one of these
Speaker 1: membership tokens, you have to go to the secondary market
Speaker 1: where they're now over eleven thousand dollars for the regular membership.
Speaker 1: And so I guess like you could ride the wait
Speaker 1: like Ethereum market and like by the dip and maybe
Speaker 1: get like a membership on the cheap. But it's it
Speaker 1: seems like this whole model is like just bait for
Speaker 1: like the thirstiest of the thirsty and the cloud chasing
Speaker 1: champions of our world. I think this is this reminds
Speaker 1: me of that that story about Ashley Madison where it's
Speaker 1: like a dating website where you can cheap. But then
Speaker 1: like behind the scenes, they're like, yeah, it's nine dudes
Speaker 1: talking to each other and talking about I feel like
Speaker 1: they're going to have this out there. It's going to
Speaker 1: be very popular until it's actually a real thing, and
Speaker 1: then they're going to realize that it's all like wealthy
Speaker 1: tech dudes and that's going to be it. I think, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's like a level to it that I can already see,
Speaker 1: Like this oho house right, it's like I mean like
Speaker 1: you have to be vetted to get up in here,
Speaker 1: you know, like we don't just let anybody whereas this.
Speaker 1: I think the real bougie people will thumb their nose
Speaker 1: that the thing is like, okay, so you paid a
Speaker 1: lot in ethereum to get into this like mediocre restaurant,
Speaker 1: Please get out of my way. But yeah, it's I
Speaker 1: think we're all just seeing all these different ways that
Speaker 1: I'm sure for the restaurant too, that's a way to
Speaker 1: raise a round of funding by being like here's an
Speaker 1: n f T you gotta buy for our restaurant that's
Speaker 1: coming on like an over a year from now, And
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're taking those funds trying to figure out
Speaker 1: how they keep fucking put that towards the restaurant. I
Speaker 1: don't know. It's just a very confusing business model. And
Speaker 1: I don't like membership restaurants because the food usually isn't
Speaker 1: that great. Yeah, all I'm saying is I would buy
Speaker 1: an n f T to get into Magic Castle instead
Speaker 1: of having to ask a nerdy friend. Right right, that's
Speaker 1: a good that's a good example. Also, like n f
Speaker 1: T S A is just like social Security cards like that,
Speaker 1: just things like that where it's like you want a
Speaker 1: you need a card or like something to identify with.
Speaker 1: That is like singular as opposed to this shitty restaurant
Speaker 1: that is going to be only people who are really
Speaker 1: into n f T S. But people, it's not just that, Jack,
Speaker 1: You're missing the point. It's kind of a lounge at
Speaker 1: cocktail bar, you know. Oh, makase, that's like the most
Speaker 1: bothered way to eat sushi, which is like I love
Speaker 1: how that word has completely taken over like restaurant culture
Speaker 1: because now like everywhere it's like this is like an
Speaker 1: omakase like empanada restaurant. Wait, what does mean is that
Speaker 1: where you eat it off the body? Like like it
Speaker 1: means like I'm deferring to you. Like so when you
Speaker 1: have sushi restaurant, and that means that like you're saying
Speaker 1: to the sushi, I'm surrendering to your taste. Please take
Speaker 1: me on this journey as I trust you the person
Speaker 1: who's the mass chef. Y like those restaurants, Like those
Speaker 1: restaurants where they insult you to your face and you
Speaker 1: order a milkshake and they give you coffee and you're
Speaker 1: like right and they're like shut up. You know those restaurants.
Speaker 1: Isn't there like one that's like a hot dog place?
Speaker 1: I feel like back on the Food Channel, there's like
Speaker 1: some place in like Chicago or something where like the
Speaker 1: you just knew like when you went in there, the
Speaker 1: people talk straight ship to you when you were but
Speaker 1: that was kind of like the that's the thing about it. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: there's a there's a place in l A called Sushi
Speaker 1: Park where they just feed you until you're like until
Speaker 1: you say done. They just feed you sushi and it's
Speaker 1: really good, really expensive, but it's worth worth truck. Does it?
Speaker 1: Does the Weener Circle? That's what it's called the Weener Circle? Yeah,
Speaker 1: in Chicago. In Chicago, Oh like Winner Circle, Yeah, exactly
Speaker 1: I thought it was a weird episs for something else.
Speaker 1: It's known for its Maxwell street polish blah blah blah
Speaker 1: and the mutual verbal abuse between the employees and the
Speaker 1: customers during the late weekend hours. So like, yeah, when
Speaker 1: we go later and I think the funk you want,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, but the I think the mouths on the
Speaker 1: people that work there are way spicy. When you guys
Speaker 1: go have a circle jerk about n f T s
Speaker 1: or a weener circle if you will. But do people
Speaker 1: know what's Soho houses who aren't from Yeah, that's our
Speaker 1: coastal bias. Yeah, it's a very pretentious membership club. Jack,
Speaker 1: didn't you work at a Soho house? I was a
Speaker 1: pool boy my first job out of college. I was
Speaker 1: a poolboy at a Soho house because my sister's roommate
Speaker 1: worked the front desk. That's Soho house and she got
Speaker 1: me an inn. Yeah and yeah. So And the my
Speaker 1: recollection of the like membership process was that it was
Speaker 1: like the applications were like stockbrokers and people businessmen who
Speaker 1: they would turn down because the whole point was that, no,
Speaker 1: we're protecting you from those type of people who we
Speaker 1: want creatives, right, who got rich just by going to
Speaker 1: Wharton or whatever. Anyways, but that sounds like the episode
Speaker 1: of that Fuck Wharton, fuck you losers, I know, but
Speaker 1: seriously rubbed their feet at the pool pool? Boy, what
Speaker 1: was that about Wharton? Jeffrey, my name's jack whatever, Jackery
Speaker 1: all right? Uh? And finally, you know, I think we've
Speaker 1: all been saying, when will the Oscars go back to
Speaker 1: having a host? We love the days of Billy Crystal,
Speaker 1: we love the days of Ellen, we love the days
Speaker 1: of Rock. Did you ever do an Academy? Yeah? He did,
Speaker 1: won Academy Awards, and by making a joke about Jude Law,
Speaker 1: like Sean Bell was like, I'll tell you who Jude
Speaker 1: Law is. He's the finest damn actor I've ever fucking seen,
Speaker 1: like the greatest philanthropists that our world has ever seen.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so they've taken a break from having a
Speaker 1: host recently. I mean, my favorite Oscar's host ever, I
Speaker 1: think everybody agrees is the James Franco. But the so
Speaker 1: they're taking a break just to like give Franco some
Speaker 1: time to rest. But the yeah, so they haven't had
Speaker 1: a host, but ratings have been going down and down,
Speaker 1: and so what one like storyline that people are bringing
Speaker 1: up is like you gotta nominate the Spider Man movie
Speaker 1: for Best Picture and then just like get people to
Speaker 1: tune in for that so that they're then like mad
Speaker 1: when it doesn't win or something. I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: know the strategy really, but they're instead planning on, I guess,
Speaker 1: asking Tom Holland to host the Academy Awards. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: because it's definitely that the no host thing is cause
Speaker 1: a dipping ratings, not because Green Book one, right or
Speaker 1: just in definitely the host situation not crash. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: selection of films that we've proclaimed are the best picture
Speaker 1: ever according this very narrow group. Yeah, I don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it seems in general like people don't have
Speaker 1: the same appetite for awards shows unless it's like a
Speaker 1: Grammys or something, because that's just like a big ask,
Speaker 1: like it's a concert essentially with awards interspersed. Yeah, But
Speaker 1: so they did do a poll to see who people wanted.
Speaker 1: Tiffany Hattish is number one with eight the Rock number
Speaker 1: seventeen or number two with sev Tina Fame, Amy Poehler.
Speaker 1: Have they not done the Oscars? They've only done the
Speaker 1: Golden Globes. I think so, But that would make sense.
Speaker 1: That feels like it would make sense, not not if
Speaker 1: they're like trying to fun up and young up the demographic,
Speaker 1: but I mean they're definitely at least would make it
Speaker 1: fun to watch. Queen Latifa, Paul Rudd, Lin, Manuel Miranda. Well,
Speaker 1: here's what I like about this list, because it's Paul
Speaker 1: Rudd and then No One and then made Miranda gets
Speaker 1: half of what no One yet he's got four percent
Speaker 1: and No One has eight percent. I can't feel good. Anyone,
Speaker 1: anyone beneath the No. One standings on that list is
Speaker 1: feeling pretty bad right now. Sorry. Oh yeah, Jamie Fox,
Speaker 1: Sorry man, I don't honestly good for you for even
Speaker 1: getting on that list. Like people, there were enough people
Speaker 1: checking fear they're like, you know, Jamie Fox, Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's that. That is interesting. That's an
Speaker 1: interesting choice. I'm wondering, like where they This feels like
Speaker 1: a pole of agents would have come up with this list,
Speaker 1: Like it feels like just people who have careers. Oh,
Speaker 1: the top three all represented by U t A interesting
Speaker 1: but yeah, so they asked Tom Holland. Tom Holland was
Speaker 1: then interviewed and said, like, maybe sometime in the future,
Speaker 1: but I'm too busy right now, and then called the
Speaker 1: reporter back and said, actually, I'd do it if I
Speaker 1: asked me. So apparently there's something in the works there
Speaker 1: and it's probably gonna be him. But yeah, it's completely
Speaker 1: the like they they give it to Green Book and
Speaker 1: Crash and like fucking bad movies for so long. So
Speaker 1: I remember what people thought Shakespeare in Love was the
Speaker 1: best movie that came out that year. Yeah, wouldn't it
Speaker 1: beat Saving Private Ryan? Yeah, that's the private and like
Speaker 1: Spielberg one Best Director and and that's not usually like
Speaker 1: the momentum of the Oscars, Like, oh man, Spielberg got
Speaker 1: Best Director for Private Ryan. You know, best pictures of
Speaker 1: fucking rap baby, and they're like Shakespeare in Love. Um,
Speaker 1: but yeah, when we were all caught up in ship
Speaker 1: cargo fever that we were too blind to see that
Speaker 1: it wasn't around. Oh goodness, goodness. Girls are all Merrimax movies,
Speaker 1: by the way, And like they they proudly were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll get you, we'll get you. I will intimidate my
Speaker 1: way into your movie being best picture, whether it's good
Speaker 1: or not that seemed to be. But so this first
Speaker 1: of all, if you want to like get an understanding
Speaker 1: of like just the difficulty of making a watchable oscars,
Speaker 1: like just go back to any Oscar telecasts like before
Speaker 1: the nineties or like before you started watching them. They've
Speaker 1: been bad forever. They're terrible. It's like watching a like
Speaker 1: award show that like your company puts on for like employees,
Speaker 1: Like it's just it sucks. Like they one time they
Speaker 1: try to like get the young uns in ninety three
Speaker 1: by having Frank Sinatra host, and he opened the ceremony
Speaker 1: with a monologue about how the Mona Lisa like the
Speaker 1: painting would be received by modern Hollywood producers. And I
Speaker 1: got a quote here, and I think you're gonna love it,
Speaker 1: you know, Leonardo, Baby, I like it. I really like it.
Speaker 1: So it's pretty good stuff. Like that's I think my
Speaker 1: favorite comedy. Well, first number one with a bullet is
Speaker 1: the stand up challenges on RuPaul's Drag Race. Those are
Speaker 1: always top tier. And the right below it is teleprompter jokes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: watching the delivery of a prompter joke, like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: like he said the punchline out of okay, sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll used to it. Paul Hogan, Okay, Crocodile Dundee once
Speaker 1: hosted the Oscars and and did that it was actually yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: He co hosted with Chevy Chase and Goldie Han. And
Speaker 1: because they're all or at least Paul Hogan and Chevy
Speaker 1: Chase are like famously massive egos, where they were ever
Speaker 1: on on stage at the same time. Oh really, hope
Speaker 1: they were both like I ain't sharing the stage, yeah
Speaker 1: that guy? Or yeah is check the Chase? Just Paul
Speaker 1: Hogan with on right? How come you never seen him
Speaker 1: in the same place at the same time. What double
Speaker 1: different on that? Check. The thing at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, I think with all these awards shows is,
Speaker 1: you know, across the board, awards shows are just declining,
Speaker 1: like in terms of viewership, and it's it's like, I
Speaker 1: think it's again if they're too insular, no one watches
Speaker 1: it and feels that they have any any way to
Speaker 1: affect what they're seeing. So it's just you, I think
Speaker 1: for a lot of people are trying to realize, like
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's a it's a way for all
Speaker 1: these people in this room to clap at each other
Speaker 1: like I don't know what the like these are my picks,
Speaker 1: so I'm not as interested. And I think as that
Speaker 1: glamour fades, they're like, like, I think you brought this
Speaker 1: up Jack like a while ago, is like, is there
Speaker 1: like a fan vote or something like do you democratize
Speaker 1: an award within the oscars where people can you know,
Speaker 1: participate And I get that, like it's about everybody in
Speaker 1: the Motion Picture Association, But I bet you that the
Speaker 1: m p a A Is looking at me like this
Speaker 1: is how we generate revenue, like we need to have
Speaker 1: a better award show, and if we have to fucking
Speaker 1: change things, then maybe we will. But I think there's
Speaker 1: there's that aspect of watching it where it's just like
Speaker 1: frustrating and like you just you just don't care, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I think they should make the
Speaker 1: voting public. I don't. I don't think fans should get
Speaker 1: to vote because then it would just be fucking Disney.
Speaker 1: But or something that actually speaks to people as if
Speaker 1: it's like and you know, I think you were phrases
Speaker 1: like the most popular movie of the year or something
Speaker 1: like that, like as an award where it's clear where
Speaker 1: you can be like okay, like we're not having to
Speaker 1: look at it through the lens of like what is
Speaker 1: cinema and you mean like the best film versus best movie.
Speaker 1: I was like differentiating between like this one the the two. Right, Basically,
Speaker 1: I think definitely the like the role of celebrity has shifted,
Speaker 1: or at least our opinion on celebrity, where you know, influencers,
Speaker 1: people people who dressed like us or they're my age,
Speaker 1: like they look they're they're more praise than some guy
Speaker 1: in a tux and not only that, like some guy
Speaker 1: in a tux who goes up on stage and talks
Speaker 1: about that we need to get the hunger situation sorted out,
Speaker 1: and it's like you're a millionaire. I think that's probably
Speaker 1: that just doesn't look good a bunch of people in
Speaker 1: tuxes and dresses being like film has the ability to
Speaker 1: touch all lives and save the world Stephen, Yes, all
Speaker 1: lives matters, and then like some canned joke that like
Speaker 1: they intentionally just like fucking drop to just like yeah,
Speaker 1: let people know they're better than the material is just
Speaker 1: like fun man, Right, Yeah, I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: think that's I don't I don't know another way that
Speaker 1: I would be interested. I guess yeah if the voting
Speaker 1: were transparent, but then it's like what we see who
Speaker 1: how each person voted? Well yeah, because then like people
Speaker 1: would be like, Okay, this dipshit voted for green book,
Speaker 1: like we get to like the yeah yeah exactly, yeah,
Speaker 1: but then yeah, I think the awards need to be
Speaker 1: a little bit better, like best stunt, best seen, best
Speaker 1: like like things that you can like actually enjoy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but then yeah, like but less stupid than that. Those
Speaker 1: categories were like best fight you know what I mean, Yeah,
Speaker 1: action scene and you work. I remember being like, holy
Speaker 1: sh it, okay, yeah yeah, like that done. If that
Speaker 1: award show were created by like people who actually work
Speaker 1: and like love movies, like I would, I would be
Speaker 1: interested in seeing that as opposed to being made by MTV.
Speaker 1: I would. I would even like because I think we've
Speaker 1: voted on things before where we're going through it, even
Speaker 1: like election stuff when it gets down to like city
Speaker 1: council person or like I I don't know, I'll pick
Speaker 1: the name I like the best. It would be cool
Speaker 1: if like every category, so like if they had the
Speaker 1: best stunt, only stunt men vote on that, only the
Speaker 1: only the field of stunt people voting that best best
Speaker 1: sound editing, you get the the Sound Editing Guild to
Speaker 1: vote on that. And then instead of like here's yeah,
Speaker 1: and then instead of having like some central like you know,
Speaker 1: a word show writer like being like sound editing is
Speaker 1: the art of and like doing like a broad description
Speaker 1: of what sound editing is, you then like have a
Speaker 1: sound editor explained, like what was so like amazing about that?
Speaker 1: Like do really like put some thought into presenting that
Speaker 1: art form, like or like what is so fucking cool
Speaker 1: about the stunt in a way that like that's it
Speaker 1: seems like there are pretty straightforward ways you could like
Speaker 1: make it better and make it about movies without it
Speaker 1: just coming off like the fucking Nicole Kidman AMC commercial
Speaker 1: where like the magic of movies and it has clearly
Speaker 1: never been to a movie theater watching enchanted. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I guess yeah, could you imagine they're like, yes,
Speaker 1: we should give the unions more influence on how these
Speaker 1: awards are giving out is sort of what that boils
Speaker 1: down to, right, It's like, yeah, keep it specialized, but
Speaker 1: I think it would make more sense because you feel
Speaker 1: like rather than some like someone's grandpa who used to
Speaker 1: be an editor in the seventies, who still has a vote, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're gonna their taste is all over the place, like
Speaker 1: let's I like this idea specialized pots. But then nobody watches.
Speaker 1: I guess, you know, I guess people watch the SAG
Speaker 1: Awards or the d g A Awards and they just
Speaker 1: feel I mean, they broadcast them, so clearly there's enough,
Speaker 1: there's enough revenue to just ty to continued broadcast of it.
Speaker 1: I gotta start watching those awards. I think that's the
Speaker 1: thing I've learned. I need to watch more award shows. Yes,
Speaker 1: exactly the lesson to today's lesson. I don't know I
Speaker 1: even in that respect. I'm in the w e A
Speaker 1: for jingle Albanet, So you don't want my opinion about me.
Speaker 1: Uh Steven has always such a pleasure having you. Where
Speaker 1: can people find you and follow you? You can follow
Speaker 1: me on Instagram, Twitter, Instagram Twitter. They just merged Uhler
Speaker 1: with an E, Wilbur with an E spelled Wilbur with
Speaker 1: an E, and Wilbur is spelled spelt with the somebody
Speaker 1: has made that mistake before, spelled my name w I
Speaker 1: L B you R, and then put my Twitter name
Speaker 1: right next to it. Yeah, you do that all the time,
Speaker 1: where they they'll somehow spell my handle correctly and then
Speaker 1: misspell my last name like right next I'm like, how
Speaker 1: did you get the handle right? And then not? Then okay,
Speaker 1: you know what's I had the lesson I learned from
Speaker 1: that as you guys are spelling your names wrong, and
Speaker 1: you should listen to the people. Thank you. You're just
Speaker 1: people are speaking to you and you're not listening. Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: is there a tweet or some of the work of
