Speaker 1: wasn't trying to add a flourish hot hot dog? I
Speaker 1: might have I'm going back to New England soon. No, no,
Speaker 1: because that's something that I've been noticing about people from Massachusetts,
Speaker 1: as they have interesting pronunciations on O words. But I
Speaker 1: didn't realize they're Okay, you're going right in with an attack.
Speaker 1: Right at the beginning of the show, I may have
Speaker 1: said something akin to hot Dog, which is which I
Speaker 1: feel like I remember at the beginning of the pandemic,
Speaker 1: I was saying like I was saying COVID wrong. I
Speaker 1: was saying like COVID I was saying for a while, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was saying, I was getting me email COVID cape cod.

Speaker 1: yang Zy, and the new Fox animated show Duncanville with

Speaker 1: I think we can all agree. Yeah. Yeah. What's your
Speaker 1: take on being introduced as a podcast guesting legend? Like
Speaker 1: James Pressure though, it's like, you know, when like you're performing,
Speaker 1: there's someone's about to bring you up on stage and
Speaker 1: they go like, this person is so funny on Twitter,
Speaker 1: You're like, that feels that feels bad bad, It feels backhanded. Yeah, fun.
Speaker 1: And so to hear that, I, you know, make other
Speaker 1: people's podcast better. I guess I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know how I feel about it. I will

Speaker 1: thank god. Here's the thing. It's pro. It goes pro
Speaker 1: blue list. Yeah. So that's look at that's some podcast
Speaker 1: fire right there right out the gate content legendary content producer,
Speaker 1: another cool thing to be known as. All right, we're
Speaker 1: gonna get to know you a little bit better in
Speaker 1: a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a few
Speaker 1: of the things we're talking about apparently fiser the vaccine
Speaker 1: that I got elicit's a weaker antibody response to the
Speaker 1: delta variant. I don't know necessarily what that means, but
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering if that's the thing we have to
Speaker 1: be dealing with from now on, like finding out that
Speaker 1: our brand of vaccine is broken when it comes to
Speaker 1: some Greek alphabet version of the accit or of the coronavirus.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about Trump's Facebook band. They gave it
Speaker 1: an expiration date, and we're gonna talk about that UFO
Speaker 1: Commission report, which will not confirm the existence of aliens.
Speaker 1: But I don't know, I did anybody think they're gonna
Speaker 1: be like, Yo, it's aliens. So we'll talk about that
Speaker 1: why that's not surprising. We'll talk about why nobody knows
Speaker 1: how to act now that the country is opening back up,
Speaker 1: the Avengers campus opening in Disneyland, all of that plenty more.
Speaker 1: But first, yes, or we like to ask our guests,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history that is revealing
Speaker 1: about who you are? A god? Here's the thing, I like,
Speaker 1: all of my searches are like pretty bogus, as is,
Speaker 1: like I'm not I'm not. I feel like everyone else
Speaker 1: does like a cool like oh I can't see because
Speaker 1: it's like or like you know what I mean, like
Speaker 1: like if I go into mine literally right now. My
Speaker 1: last search is nineteen ninety six Ford Bronco XLT and
Speaker 1: Lancaster because I used to have a Ford Bronco and
Speaker 1: I wanted to get one again. And I remember I
Speaker 1: was trying to see if this person had still had
Speaker 1: their had they not sold their as yet? But that's
Speaker 1: the last thing I searched for. I thought you were
Speaker 1: looking for a Ford Bronco that you previously had had. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you hit some drugs under that would have been cooler.
Speaker 1: But like I mean, like all again, like all of
Speaker 1: it is so boring, like the other one is the
Speaker 1: difference between because there was some stupid meme and like
Speaker 1: what the difference is really And how they make the
Speaker 1: flavoring this is god just makes me sound like a loser.
Speaker 1: How they make the crunch flavors differ in the chocolate
Speaker 1: clare good humor bars versus the strawberry shortcake ones, Like
Speaker 1: are they using like is it like a blank like
Speaker 1: cookie thing and then they're dying it or is it
Speaker 1: like actual different kinds of crumbles and I did. I
Speaker 1: didn't get an answer, so we're over too. You didn't
Speaker 1: find the four Broncos didn't know. I don't know the
Speaker 1: four Bronco I found and it hasn't been sold yet.
Speaker 1: But like the thing is, you can't reach out unless
Speaker 1: you're like serious about it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And it's like, do I really because I have a car,
Speaker 1: and like, you know, like I just so there's there's
Speaker 1: more to the equation than just me, just like in
Speaker 1: the Google verse if you will, Google Shared Universe, and like,
Speaker 1: I wonder what that car looks like? Yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 1: like I'm not gonna lie guys, it's a steel But
Speaker 1: it's like, can I you know, can I can I
Speaker 1: afford it? Is it? Dumb? Ford Broncos are I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't have the driver's license. They're big, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're big? So yeah, that's what I'm saying. I used
Speaker 1: to have one, and this one's in better condition than
Speaker 1: the one I had, and I'm like, wow, would be
Speaker 1: fun to just have it again, but I all but
Speaker 1: I already currently have a truck. How interesting is this
Speaker 1: for not only just you two, but the listeners out.
Speaker 1: But no, I do love now that I've googled Google
Speaker 1: image search, the Ford Bronco ninety six. I do love
Speaker 1: this car. And it's one that I feeling gets more.
Speaker 1: You see it more in California because back East, like
Speaker 1: the salt in the roads to like just devoured the
Speaker 1: bodies of these cars. But like I see these in
Speaker 1: like make condition all the time in California, and they
Speaker 1: look because people bought them and like then just kind
Speaker 1: of sat on them. They weren't They were cool cars,
Speaker 1: but they weren't like the you know, like people weren't.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like you know, a Benz or something. And
Speaker 1: also you can take the top off, so it's like
Speaker 1: the Ford equivalent of a jeep, you know, right, But yeah,
Speaker 1: you guys, it's it's a struggle that sounds really Hardie, Jamie. Look, look,
Speaker 1: I know you got the Mensa stuff happening. I know
Speaker 1: you get the little elite of stuff happening. But as
Speaker 1: a prayer warrior, I got my own stuff going on too,
Speaker 1: all right. I respect your journey, respect your journey with trucks.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Is there something about like when you owned it,
Speaker 1: was it like did you have a great experience with
Speaker 1: the ninety six four Bronco or it was just like
Speaker 1: a good car. Here. Here's here's what I'll say, Like
Speaker 1: and look, there's there are plenty of like toxically masculine
Speaker 1: things that I think every guy does that they don't
Speaker 1: even realize. And then there's like the intentional ones, right
Speaker 1: like having a big truck, big vehicle is like mine.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like it's still for whatever reason, like
Speaker 1: equate that to be in like yeah, buffalo wings and
Speaker 1: it's done, you know what I mean. Like it's like
Speaker 1: all the crap that like kind of means nothing. So
Speaker 1: it's not like I was like, wow when I had
Speaker 1: a Bronco, like that's when everything was smooth sailing, like
Speaker 1: it wasn't just like it's just that time. Yeah, oh man,
Speaker 1: it's just me and my Bronco just doing what we do.
Speaker 1: But no, it's just that I just like kind of
Speaker 1: like it. And I also, like, you know what it is,
Speaker 1: I think that they're like trucks in general, even though
Speaker 1: they get expensive, to me, signify a rejection of like
Speaker 1: wealth and the bourgeoisie, if you will a little bit,
Speaker 1: you know, which I actually as a personal philosophy, and
Speaker 1: I find myself steeped into I just really I think
Speaker 1: that like having money is cool and everyone should be comfortable.
Speaker 1: Like I think that's the biggest argument for raising the
Speaker 1: minimum wages, just like why wouldn't you want someone next
Speaker 1: to you to be comfortable and like be able to live.
Speaker 1: It's the craziest thing anyway, I see all that to say,
Speaker 1: but like anytime something feels too like I don't know,
Speaker 1: polished and like yeah, I don't know, it just really
Speaker 1: grosses me out. And like I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: like vehicles in particular show what kind of like what's
Speaker 1: happening mentally, Like if LA was like set up like
Speaker 1: New York, I wouldn't have a car at all. Like
Speaker 1: I just you know, like they're great, but like they're
Speaker 1: also a responsibility and like I don't want to have
Speaker 1: to worry about some other person, Like I don't drink,
Speaker 1: but I don't have to worry about some other person
Speaker 1: being like a drunk driver or something, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. But that being said, blah blah blah, ramble, ramble, ramble.
Speaker 1: I do think that like your car is like a
Speaker 1: projection of what you think about your yourself a little bit,
Speaker 1: and your financial status and like whether you have the
Speaker 1: money or not. Like seeing like a bronco on the road,
Speaker 1: whether that person has a million dollars or two dollars,
Speaker 1: like shows that they not are just like salt of
Speaker 1: the earth but more just like you know, they're were
Speaker 1: it a little bit more about like utility and comfort
Speaker 1: and not just being like a flashy psychopath and was
Speaker 1: the ninety I'm sorry to like keep going and make
Speaker 1: this the formula people are like okay, wait, do they
Speaker 1: talk about the news or welcome the truck. I feel
Speaker 1: like the reason that a lot of people sat on
Speaker 1: it was like didn't it kind of become infamous through
Speaker 1: those Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the only reason I know
Speaker 1: what they are. Yeah, but they're so cool. They are
Speaker 1: so cool. But I think that's so. I think it's
Speaker 1: like a twofold thing, right. I think it was like
Speaker 1: because I don't want to say it's the first suv,
Speaker 1: but kind of right, like you know, this is before
Speaker 1: like the suburbans really were a thing, and you know,
Speaker 1: like so this is kind of what especially like you know,
Speaker 1: the California crowd had and so yes, they like I
Speaker 1: think that again, you know, the OJ thing, and just
Speaker 1: I think people got more into like the luxury Mercedes
Speaker 1: SUV or you know at bmw X five or whatever,
Speaker 1: and like that. Ain't me, man, you know, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: down there at the Hurricane Katrina sites with the rifle
Speaker 1: and my bronco, my bronco Sean Penn. We both have
Speaker 1: our guns looking for snakes. One of my favorite things
Speaker 1: to do on walks is there's a lot of like
Speaker 1: C list celebrities that like whip their tesla's around and
Speaker 1: I like to there. I saw the guy from do
Speaker 1: you remember Red Food? From l M fao. He's whipping
Speaker 1: his tesla around all was hitting pedestrians with He was
Speaker 1: the tall one. He's like some sort of nepotism too.
Speaker 1: He's hold on, let me. He's very Gordy's nephew. Yes,
Speaker 1: but then he is the uncle uncle of the other guy,
Speaker 1: of the strong uncle, and it's just like all just
Speaker 1: each other's uncle and kind of the same uncles all
Speaker 1: the way dozens and then two of them are each
Speaker 1: other's uncle, and you're like, what is the hood doing
Speaker 1: to y'all? Y'all are all just each other's uncles. Wait,
Speaker 1: you mean Jamie, You're just like seeing she's driving his
Speaker 1: tesla around almost hitting pedestrians. Oh cool, I know from
Speaker 1: experience he's almost from hit by Red Food's tesla. Damn
Speaker 1: to pick up. Well, I mean, but there's all that
Speaker 1: trunk space on the front. You just would have flown
Speaker 1: right in and be like, oh, I'm comfortable, Like, oh,
Speaker 1: I've actually read for his niece now based on another
Speaker 1: brief sure, right, yeah yeah lah lah lah wa or something.
Speaker 1: What is something you think is overrated? Yes? I think weirdly,
Speaker 1: the opinions of Twitter scholars have become so overrated now
Speaker 1: because we used to live in a world where like
Speaker 1: people only spoke when they really had something to say, right,
Speaker 1: and like you have to like go out of your
Speaker 1: way to like get published and like prove that you
Speaker 1: were smart and blah blah blah. And now it's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just feel like I don't know.
Speaker 1: Even like Malcolm Gladwell, who I think is very smart
Speaker 1: in respect, like anytime he has an opinion on anything,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, Like, like I think, how
Speaker 1: about this. I think you should only have an opinion
Speaker 1: about things that we know you're an expert in but
Speaker 1: like when people are like cool recipe, I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to hear this, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like I don't like just leave me alone or like
Speaker 1: or just like this idea of like let me tell
Speaker 1: you a story, and then you do like parentheses thread
Speaker 1: and you're like, no, I saw this thread. We're just
Speaker 1: like this very prominent black scholar. I'll leave his name
Speaker 1: out of it, but I'll text you guys on the side,
Speaker 1: of course and tell you of course, you know this
Speaker 1: is like someone who you know during the uprising of
Speaker 1: last summer, and all this stuff is that, you know,
Speaker 1: pretty it has some pretty poignant and smart things to say.
Speaker 1: But then he goes on a thread about how he
Speaker 1: was walking down the street he started speaking to a
Speaker 1: home an unhoused person. I'm sorry, and the person's like, hey,
Speaker 1: I recognize you. You're so and so the professor and
Speaker 1: like educator, and he's like, oh, yeah, that is me.
Speaker 1: How'd you know who I am? And the unhoused person
Speaker 1: said to him said, just because I don't don't have
Speaker 1: a home doesn't mean I don't have access to a
Speaker 1: library into knowledge. And so then he ends the thread
Speaker 1: by saying he's like, so I gave that man the
Speaker 1: four dollars I had in my pocket. Then I went
Speaker 1: home and I donated two hundred dollars to my local library.
Speaker 1: And I was like, you should have done that reverse
Speaker 1: just you you So you gave someone who's living on
Speaker 1: the street four bucks who knew who you were, Like,
Speaker 1: it's so and I was like, see, this is why
Speaker 1: I don't I don't need to know anything about anybody,
Speaker 1: like we ease. Just like like I think you should
Speaker 1: get on Twitter if you're an expert of any sort
Speaker 1: and be like again like yes, aliens are here, here's
Speaker 1: the proof, or like hey, this is how you can
Speaker 1: save some money. But like I anything else where, like
Speaker 1: especially when they like give you these glimpses into their
Speaker 1: personal lives like me and the spouse headed up to
Speaker 1: so and so I'm just like Neil de grass Tyson's
Speaker 1: the worst of it. I think, oh yeah, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm just like like if your personality is ruining movies,
Speaker 1: which are like objectively like it's just the easiest thing
Speaker 1: to enjoy, like outside of candy, Like all right, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I'm out. You know, Neil de grass Tyson
Speaker 1: is so I feel like there he's like a reason
Speaker 1: I used to be interested in space, and then one
Speaker 1: of the reasons that I no longer engage with space news,
Speaker 1: like I would also around on being interested in space
Speaker 1: because of him. So yeah, I would say that the
Speaker 1: opinions of experts, the personal opinions of experts, are overrated.
Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated? How this is
Speaker 1: so dumb but frudy pebbles? Okay, not dumb at all,
Speaker 1: especially because it's like it's a cereal that is, yes,
Speaker 1: marketed to kids, but it's really just like gangster rice Crispies,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like we just tossed a
Speaker 1: whole new vibe, and I'm right, And here's the thing.
Speaker 1: They got rid of Rice Crispy Treats cereal, which was
Speaker 1: objectively best cereal of all time. They got rid of it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so now it's just frosted rice Crispies. And you're like,
Speaker 1: this is a this is a different thing, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But I'll say as a breakfast cereal, phenomenal,
Speaker 1: but also just as a dessert or a little late
Speaker 1: night snack. It's like you can't go wrong with it,
Speaker 1: And like whereas Tricks a little bit too crunchy, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Oh sable then for Fruity Pebbles,
Speaker 1: No for tricks. Oh see, well then how are you
Speaker 1: doing pebbles? They'll take it up a notch. I feel
Speaker 1: like I don't know how to talk about serious Like
Speaker 1: these pebbles glaze is different, Like it feels like the
Speaker 1: crunch is different. Like Tricks gets it's really sweet and
Speaker 1: then it gets really soggy very quickly. But Fruity Pebbles
Speaker 1: has like a resilience that Tricks does not. Yeah, Fruity
Speaker 1: Pebbles really you know, pulls itself by its bootstraps, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the rosy cereal. I think Fruity Pebble, like I
Speaker 1: truly think American junk food is the greatest contribution that
Speaker 1: our society has. Like nobody's ever put this much science
Speaker 1: and education into making food that is so delicious you
Speaker 1: like can't stop eating it. Right, It really is interesting
Speaker 1: because it's like you don't have to like because there's
Speaker 1: all these companies make other things, Like I mean it's
Speaker 1: like ConAgra and like all these companies that owned you know,
Speaker 1: the Chicken Industrial compx so it's like you also need
Speaker 1: to sell us cheetos Like that just feels a little
Speaker 1: crazy to me, you know, but just sell us more chicken,
Speaker 1: like we would all. That's the other thing. It's like
Speaker 1: we would all just eat more of whatever they made.
Speaker 1: But they're like, no, let's let these idiots think they're
Speaker 1: doing something, you know, And to your point, like the
Speaker 1: fact that like laughy taffy tastes like completely different and
Speaker 1: even has like a different texture than like a mamba.
Speaker 1: It's like so it's like the same things and they're
Speaker 1: completely different. And both of these are different than a
Speaker 1: high chew, you know, like yeah, right, and a starburst. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're all like they should be the same, and they're
Speaker 1: all completely different. And then like, don't even get me
Speaker 1: started on fucking saltwater taffy, which before we started recording,
Speaker 1: don't get started, don't get me started on salt unter
Speaker 1: t Wait. I'm I'm very suspicious that they discontinue Raised
Speaker 1: Crispy Treat cereal because that is like fifty percent of
Speaker 1: the people I know, his favorite cereal. That that suggests
Speaker 1: to me that they figured out it, like what it
Speaker 1: was doing something really bad people, Yeah, it must have
Speaker 1: been killing people because people say something? Can I say something? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't care. Like I would like like if they
Speaker 1: were like this in four years, if you if you
Speaker 1: ate this every day and in four years like you're
Speaker 1: a goner, I would be like, oh, okay, then don't
Speaker 1: eat it every day? Right? If I eat it? If
Speaker 1: I eat it every three days, that gives me what
Speaker 1: seven years? Yeah, I'm good with that. No, But I
Speaker 1: also think it's like one of those things that like,
Speaker 1: and by the way, again, did you guys, thank you
Speaker 1: so much for having me. But but I feel like
Speaker 1: it's one of those things that like kind of got
Speaker 1: out of the test market, you know, and never really
Speaker 1: should have stayed around as long, you know how they
Speaker 1: just like every three weeks they're like, here's a new oreo,
Speaker 1: but it's made with guns. What Yeah, it's only in Kentucky,
Speaker 1: all right. I feel like that's what Rice Crispy Treats
Speaker 1: Cereal was like. I was never supposed to be. I
Speaker 1: don't think I was supposed to become the legend that
Speaker 1: it became, you know, but no, but yeah, became the
Speaker 1: woody out of cereals. You know, no one could top it.
Speaker 1: What's your milk philosophy before we move on to less
Speaker 1: important things like the news. Here's the hardest thing because
Speaker 1: they're actually no matter how you do it, the only
Speaker 1: correct answer is water, right, Like, there's actually there's no
Speaker 1: correct milk answer. It takes what a gallon of water
Speaker 1: to to I want to say raise, but I think
Speaker 1: the word is grow one almond. Like, so if you're
Speaker 1: making that much almond milk, that's bad for the environment.
Speaker 1: Oat milk is I think, Jamie, I think actually saw
Speaker 1: this on your Twitter feed. Did you did you? Did
Speaker 1: you tweet about like oat milk recently, like in the
Speaker 1: past few weeks. I don't. I'm so almost positive, but
Speaker 1: I saw here's the thing. I follow like four smart people,
Speaker 1: and you're one of them. So if it wasn't you,
Speaker 1: it's one of your friends. But but they broke down
Speaker 1: what oat milk was and it's kind of just like
Speaker 1: again ground oats and a lot of like oil like
Speaker 1: that I didn't know, which acts as a binder to
Speaker 1: make it thicker. Because that's the one thing we all
Speaker 1: like about oat milk, right, We're like, oh, this is
Speaker 1: like this is like dick is hell, And you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're drinking canola oil or whatever. And then I milk
Speaker 1: is again just like white water but it sucks, right,
Speaker 1: And then milk milk is I'm allergic to dairy actually,
Speaker 1: like oh okay, God, so I can't have it. But
Speaker 1: that being said, like if I had to choose one,
Speaker 1: I yeah, like here's the thing. On taste, I go out,
Speaker 1: but like on conscience, I guess I go almond amond. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to I'm trying to get on board with
Speaker 1: almond milk, but I like, I like cow milk. I
Speaker 1: don't know, really, I like cow milk. Yeah, I like
Speaker 1: grew up drinking one percent and I grew uill something
Speaker 1: about one percent really hits for me. I grew up
Speaker 1: on skim and I hate skim milk so much. And
Speaker 1: then we were just like Jim is nasty, passing through
Speaker 1: the point where like you have to have like whole
Speaker 1: milk because like we have head babies in the house,
Speaker 1: and now like I'm still buying it even though they
Speaker 1: don't need to drink it anymore, because like I just
Speaker 1: like it so much better than just have it with
Speaker 1: your water taffy. Yeah, exactly, little side of salt water
Speaker 1: taff that is the gross your spit would be so
Speaker 1: thick that you'd actually that is your blood is just surrubb,
Speaker 1: You're just personal viscosity. No thanks, all right, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break and we'll come back and talk about
Speaker 1: the news and we're back. And this is just something
Speaker 1: that super producer Arona Josnie told me, like right before
Speaker 1: we started recording, that the Fiser vaccine elicits a week
Speaker 1: or antibody response to the delta variant of COVID nineteen.
Speaker 1: I've also like heard that we're gonna have like a
Speaker 1: new like better than ever version of COVID coming in
Speaker 1: like twenty two, like deadly or ever COVID twenty two.
Speaker 1: God is this is this just what we have from
Speaker 1: now on? Like trying to pick the right brand to
Speaker 1: combat do you guys go Fizer? Did you? I mean,
Speaker 1: I didn't have a choice, but yeah, I got you,
Speaker 1: I got Maderna, I got I got the Dolly Juice
Speaker 1: and it I don't know, I mean, it's I the
Speaker 1: fact that we like even have to like compare brands
Speaker 1: in the first place is so depressing on principle, But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't I mean, it's it's so hard for me
Speaker 1: to wrap my head around stories like this, where it
Speaker 1: just if someone tells me, oh, it's going to get
Speaker 1: really bad again, I'm like, yeah, I guess I believe that.
Speaker 1: I guess I believe it, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I guess we're never going to see
Speaker 1: Avatar too. This is I see this. That's what I
Speaker 1: think is so funny, somewhat just like getting vaccinated every
Speaker 1: three and a half of week. Please just get me
Speaker 1: to Avatar. I just gotta see one more and then
Speaker 1: I can pass away. I don't know, it's it's just
Speaker 1: stories like this. It's really hard for me to wrap
Speaker 1: my head around. I have a bad brain for it. Uh,
Speaker 1: And I feel like it makes me susceptible to news
Speaker 1: that is both good and bad, and I can't always
Speaker 1: distinguish it until someone's smarter than me tells me. I So,
Speaker 1: first of all, I got the black one Johnson and
Speaker 1: Johnson just even like, even if that wasn't the one
Speaker 1: they were given to black people. I think by people
Speaker 1: share a version to getting it, they should just have
Speaker 1: to call it the black one. Now I got it,
Speaker 1: and I'll say, like I thought there would be a
Speaker 1: little more pomp and circumstance with like this idea that
Speaker 1: something was going to save your life, right. But like
Speaker 1: I went to cal State LA's campus and that's where
Speaker 1: they had like a big thing. No one was there,
Speaker 1: by the way, and I was like, oh, this feels
Speaker 1: like a bad sign for the city, for the nation.
Speaker 1: For I was just like, oh, people, because that's the
Speaker 1: one thing like if I could stress this enough, like
Speaker 1: everyone who's vaccinated is acting like everyone's vaccinated, when in fact,
Speaker 1: nobody gets vaccinated. Like even like the headlines that come
Speaker 1: out of like the LA Times, it's like Gavin Newsom
Speaker 1: says that seventy percent of adults in California vaccinated, and
Speaker 1: then you keep reading and you're like, partially, you know, okay,
Speaker 1: they never showed up for their second shot, and they're
Speaker 1: like okay, Like I get that's still a level of protection,
Speaker 1: but it ain't you know, vaccinated. It's not vaccinated. It's
Speaker 1: you know, that's like if a doctor's like come back
Speaker 1: in two weeks and we'll really finish the operation, and
Speaker 1: you're like, nah, I feel like I feel I'm good,
Speaker 1: and you're like, really, we haven't put a cast on
Speaker 1: your legs. Take my chances, you know, like so Jamie,
Speaker 1: like you, it's so odd, Like I don't think I
Speaker 1: was a pessimist or an optimist before this, and now
Speaker 1: I'm like, I feel like I'm turning into a tinfoil
Speaker 1: hat conspiracy theorists a little bit. I'm like, it is
Speaker 1: gonna be bad again, like because again, like it's everyone
Speaker 1: who and pardon me if this is y'all, but like
Speaker 1: it's like everyone I know who is constantly talking about
Speaker 1: crypto is also saying they're not getting back to me.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I'm like, wait, you think you are
Speaker 1: an expert in both things? Like you don't have a care,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like how like and not
Speaker 1: in no way that you're choosing not to drive. It's
Speaker 1: like you cannot have one, which is a different thing altogether,
Speaker 1: you know. So that being said, got Johnson and Johnson
Speaker 1: and like I'm still like, I don't know, I guess
Speaker 1: I believe that article. I just feel like another thing
Speaker 1: is gonna happen, because again, if no one's getting vaccinated,
Speaker 1: it is gonna mutate and it is gonna get worse.
Speaker 1: And like, you know, they haven't told us how long
Speaker 1: these things last and like I'm just like I'm still
Speaker 1: trying to play it moderately cool, whereas I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm seeing my friends just like play games of like
Speaker 1: everyone's spitting the champagne bottle and then we all drink it.
Speaker 1: That's a game. Yeah, it's really popular game. People are
Speaker 1: making up things that they like missed doing that they
Speaker 1: never actually did remember, like the before times where we'd
Speaker 1: all fucking spitting a cup. Miss that. It's great. So
Speaker 1: so yeah, I don't Yeah, I don't know. I feel like, yeah,
Speaker 1: because they were all emergency use anyway, right, so it's
Speaker 1: like I feel like the vaccines were developed for the
Speaker 1: version of COVID, you know, uh COVID, you know OG
Speaker 1: regular standard OG COVID, and then like a new one's
Speaker 1: gonna come around and you know whatever. Again, I hope
Speaker 1: that's not the case, but like it's also again like
Speaker 1: I just don't know what else we could expect when
Speaker 1: the everyone just rushed back out immediately, like we're all
Speaker 1: going to be in offices again and blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I don't know, I'm just I'm just
Speaker 1: not like that yet. Nobody wants the just no people,
Speaker 1: Jack dude, people do. It is so odd to me. Yes,
Speaker 1: I know so many people who are like I cannot wait,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, do you not have a second thing
Speaker 1: in your life? Oh my god, Like I do miss
Speaker 1: recording in person with free food in front of me. Ye, Jamie,
Speaker 1: but that's but that's a different thing. Like I feel
Speaker 1: like podcasts and like, I mean like you're dealing with
Speaker 1: like a different I hate to use the word vibe,
Speaker 1: but I mean just like really the energy and the
Speaker 1: thing you are creating is so different. But like I
Speaker 1: know people who like are like, you know, work in production,
Speaker 1: and they're like, yeah, I just I miss being able
Speaker 1: to like talk to someone next to me. I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know what you need to do, get a life
Speaker 1: about that? Like what is that? Like you want you
Speaker 1: want to be in an office because you missed talking
Speaker 1: to a stranger, Like you know what I mean, talk
Speaker 1: to you. I just really missed the small talk? What that? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that is just more evidence that most of
Speaker 1: the world is the direct opposite of men, Like every way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: most people are. I'll say this, and I feel like, again,
Speaker 1: this is something I've seen Jamie say before. But like
Speaker 1: most people just are like losers. They're just like by
Speaker 1: the standard definition of like what makes a loser And
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, yeah, that's why. You know, Like podcasts
Speaker 1: are interesting, they're like, wow, listen to interesting? What do
Speaker 1: interesting people say? What did they think about? You know?
Speaker 1: So they're just at home being like, oh, hell yeah,
Speaker 1: I wish I was Jamie and Jack. You know, I
Speaker 1: wish I could talk to my to a stranger about
Speaker 1: what we said today. But that's true, right, Like I
Speaker 1: feel like after this, I could call it either one
Speaker 1: of y'all be like, hey, I have this weird thought
Speaker 1: about X, Y and Z, and then we would have
Speaker 1: a conversation about it. But like the person who's like
Speaker 1: I want to be in an office so I can
Speaker 1: talk to my cubicle mate again, they're gonna say what
Speaker 1: you said. They're gonna be like, would you do this weekend?
Speaker 1: And it's like that, like that's what you needed to
Speaker 1: get back to, Like, I don't know, it's just it's
Speaker 1: just nobody's asked me what my if I have any
Speaker 1: big plans for the weekend, and like it's fucking killing me. Man,
Speaker 1: It's like, just do the plan. Yeah, just and you
Speaker 1: were making plans then you wouldn't have to help. I
Speaker 1: have no reason to now because nobody's asking me. All right,
Speaker 1: let's talk about Trump's Facebook band. We got a two
Speaker 1: year window now from the original band, which was January seven.
Speaker 1: This is apparently what like Facebook Supreme Court asked them
Speaker 1: to do was like to come up with a time frame,
Speaker 1: and they decided to put the end or like the
Speaker 1: reevaluation date like right when his re election campaigning in.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. What who the fuck decides like, well, we
Speaker 1: can't ban someone from Facebook for more than two years.
Speaker 1: I'm like, my aunt has been banned from Facebook for
Speaker 1: much longer than that, like rightfully, so she bad stuff
Speaker 1: on there. It's because Mark Zuckerberg wants him to win,
Speaker 1: right If Trump comes back, like I do think that
Speaker 1: it will show. I think it already signifies a loyalty
Speaker 1: to him in being like, hey, we're gonna let you
Speaker 1: because like I mean, like here's the thing, whatever we
Speaker 1: have to say about Jack Dorsey, if like he's not
Speaker 1: out there being like you know, Mark, your calendar, our
Speaker 1: king is coming back, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: it's just like you're gone until you're gone, you know,
Speaker 1: And like I will say that like Mark Zuckerberg especially,
Speaker 1: and now you know, I am making it about everything else,
Speaker 1: but I think that like the idea that Apple started
Speaker 1: regulating him and regulating these companies and the way that
Speaker 1: they did, I think that he thinks that if he
Speaker 1: gets trumped back, and I think that it's not just
Speaker 1: getting Trump back, but it's bringing people back to the platform,
Speaker 1: which will force Apple's hand a little bit. And I
Speaker 1: think if anything on top of what you guys are
Speaker 1: saying now is like, you know, it falls right in
Speaker 1: line when you need to start asking for money, and
Speaker 1: like it really it's I don't know, horrifying. It scares me. Yeah, Ulimately,
Speaker 1: like billionaires benefit from an unjust like corrupt version of
Speaker 1: the world. So yeah, it's gonna be much better for
Speaker 1: any billionaire, anybody who is willing to exist as a
Speaker 1: billionaire without being just fucking horrified at their own existence,
Speaker 1: to like have somebody like Trump in in office, because
Speaker 1: that's a way that they can, you know, stop the
Speaker 1: inevitable progression towards like breaking out these massive monopolistic companies.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, I mean it does seem like a very
Speaker 1: much like an appeasement kind of decision where it's like
Speaker 1: people will be mad at him on one side of
Speaker 1: his user base if he doesn't ban him at all,
Speaker 1: but then on the other side, like he still wants
Speaker 1: to open the revenue stream and in time to get
Speaker 1: the other side of his user base. Because it's like
Speaker 1: you have to imagine, I don't got the numbers on this,
Speaker 1: but when Trump comes back to Facebook in two years,
Speaker 1: which given that he's like literally counting it down like
Speaker 1: it's an Avatar sequel, means that we probably will, then
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a huge surgeon users and there's gonna
Speaker 1: be like all the people who are like whatever polarized
Speaker 1: by Facebook and are just like festering in these fucking
Speaker 1: bizarro secret groups. Right now, we're going to come right
Speaker 1: back to Maine posting about Trump again like it's he
Speaker 1: wins either well, I mean, he always wins no matter what.
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is this is such a fucking bummer,
Speaker 1: especially because I was seeing people on Twitter like celebrating
Speaker 1: this says anytime someone online is like good on Zuck
Speaker 1: or like any fucking billionaire, I'm like, could you like
Speaker 1: put in an extra two seconds of critical thought here,
Speaker 1: Like it's not it's never good. I Also, I'm a
Speaker 1: little worried about what Twitter is gonna do, just because
Speaker 1: they do seem to be the one corporation that absolutely
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think it's probably true of
Speaker 1: Facebook too, but like they definitely lost like shareholder value
Speaker 1: or whatever the fuck when they banned Trump, and even
Speaker 1: though like they seemed to be kind of more saying
Speaker 1: than Mark Zuckerberg, like the I could totally see that.
Speaker 1: You know, anytime you want to know what a corporation
Speaker 1: is going to do, just ask what is in the
Speaker 1: best interest of their ability to grow capital? You know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's hard because we're also living in a moment where yes,
Speaker 1: there are more billionaires than ever and millionaires. But I
Speaker 1: think we'll really know the answer by not this summer,
Speaker 1: but by next summer. Like last summer, right, the public,
Speaker 1: the you know, the general public was they weren't hell awoke,
Speaker 1: but like it was pushed in a further left direction
Speaker 1: than almost any generation before. Right, It's like, do I
Speaker 1: think they wait and see, like is this something that's
Speaker 1: gonna hold up? Right? And as you know, we're in
Speaker 1: the Surpride month right now, and like you know, you
Speaker 1: go to Target and they're just like we've always only
Speaker 1: cared about Gate and you're like really, they're like, yes,
Speaker 1: that's why this lysol is sixty nine six. That's how
Speaker 1: they do it. You're like like whatever, So, like does
Speaker 1: it financially benefit as you're saying, like, and I think
Speaker 1: it will. It really depends on society at large, society
Speaker 1: at large stay veering to the left, or does it
Speaker 1: just I don't know. We're like I really I am
Speaker 1: shocked so far that like there just hasn't been a
Speaker 1: you know, like Blue Lives Matter, like you know, gun
Speaker 1: rally that just you know, I hate to be like
Speaker 1: a you know, domestic terrorist attack, but I kind of
Speaker 1: am shocked that it hasn't, I guess because we're all
Speaker 1: still on kind of inside. But I think they're Jack
Speaker 1: Dorsey will just look and be like, Okay, people stayed
Speaker 1: more to the left, it's not worth it, or like
Speaker 1: hey everyone er if anything, if he probably just like
Speaker 1: buy parlor right, and then it's like he keeps he
Speaker 1: you know, or Mark Zuckerberg, you know, like I don't
Speaker 1: think he'll do it now that he's letting Trump back,
Speaker 1: but like that's kind of the move right. You secretly
Speaker 1: become the majority shareholder in that and then you you know,
Speaker 1: there's there's nothing. One of the only things saving us
Speaker 1: from that at the moment is how bad a businessman
Speaker 1: he is, because those companies have been like trying to
Speaker 1: get him to they're like buy us, like here, but
Speaker 1: we'll pay you like all this money. Just be like
Speaker 1: we'll call it Trump Fler or whatever the fuck you want,
Speaker 1: just like come lend yourself to us. And he keeps
Speaker 1: turning him down because he had this big blog that
Speaker 1: he wanted to drop on the world that lasted twenty
Speaker 1: six days. But I do think that's probably coming pretty soon.
Speaker 1: Is that like Trump will own parlor? Yeah? Yeah, you
Speaker 1: think I'm sorry Jamming. Those groups migrated to telegram, is
Speaker 1: that right? I'm pretty sure a lot of the parlor
Speaker 1: groups migrated to telegram. And that's kind of where they're waiting.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the right word is, but that's
Speaker 1: where they're just like hanging out in groups. And that's
Speaker 1: where like Ron Watkins is and that's kind of where
Speaker 1: they all kind of jumped over. Yeah, Number one didn't
Speaker 1: know telegram was a thing you gotta get on. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of great ideas. Yeah, wait, which one telegram?
Speaker 1: Tell me about it? Telegram is I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know too much of it about it as a business model.
Speaker 1: I learned about it like maybe a year and a
Speaker 1: half ago. It's kind of it's supposed it's marketed similar
Speaker 1: to Signal, where it's like, you know, an encrypted texting service.
Speaker 1: I don't know why they went over from Parlor to
Speaker 1: Telegram and not to Signal or to somewhere else, but
Speaker 1: it seems like a place where you can just organize
Speaker 1: gigantic group chats, and that's where a lot of of
Speaker 1: Q types have headed since Parlor shut down. I love that.
Speaker 1: I love that they finally found an encrypted, secret app
Speaker 1: to chat with one another. Makes I feel safe, Daddy
Speaker 1: feels safe. Oh yeah. Anyway, I was driving earlier near
Speaker 1: Venice Beach, California, a pretty liberal place, and there was
Speaker 1: just again I'm a truck owner, A truck pulls up
Speaker 1: next to me with like a don't tread on me
Speaker 1: flag and then like a thin blue line flag, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're not even doing what you think you're doing,
Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying, Like because it's also
Speaker 1: this idea that they think you're scared. I don't know
Speaker 1: why we're talking about this, but like I just like
Speaker 1: I don't know so many of them. It's just like
Speaker 1: if you just hit them in the face once it's over,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And like I don't know
Speaker 1: if am I allowed to say that on here? Yeah,
Speaker 1: hit people, okayna start popping these people, let them know
Speaker 1: we're pro Nazi punching. Anyway, what's the next topic after
Speaker 1: we go to a break, we are going to talk
Speaker 1: about the UFO Commission report that is coming up. First,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we're back. And I knew,
Speaker 1: I knew this was not gonna drop like really troubling
Speaker 1: truth is on us when it was like that that
Speaker 1: sixty minutes report, that segment that had like some really
Speaker 1: cool shit in it, but then it closed with Marco
Speaker 1: Rubio being like the face of life. We don't know,
Speaker 1: we don't know. So there's this report that people have
Speaker 1: been talking about for years that was I think at
Speaker 1: least partially like brought about by Marco Rubio being scared
Speaker 1: of the UFOs and basically what the people who have
Speaker 1: been briefed about it say that it is not going
Speaker 1: to confirm the existence of alien life, which is so
Speaker 1: shocking me that anybody thought that was going to happen,
Speaker 1: that they were just gonna be like, we figured out
Speaker 1: it's aliens, y'all were that's what it was anyways. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just more confirmation of what we already know, which
Speaker 1: is that we don't know anything. It doesn't there's no
Speaker 1: Big tic Tac. Is that related to? Yeah, the big
Speaker 1: tic Tech from a couple of years ago. I loved
Speaker 1: that Big Tic Tach. Yeah, there's the Big Tic Tac. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, they never tell you what the Big Tic
Speaker 1: Tach really is, and I'm sick of being teased about it.
Speaker 1: I want to know what's in there. I want to
Speaker 1: know who's in there. I would be I feel like, honestly,
Speaker 1: best case scenario is it's aliens, but probably it's not,
Speaker 1: and it's something really scary inside the TIC Tech, Right.
Speaker 1: I just I'm like, just do what y'all gotta do
Speaker 1: at this point. That's how I feel about it. Like,
Speaker 1: if y'all, if it's aliens, do what you gotta do.
Speaker 1: If it's just some weird secret society with future tech,
Speaker 1: do what you gotta do. But like the teasing, it's like,
Speaker 1: just leave us along, like you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like just do the thing, like do the thing, do
Speaker 1: the thing you need to do, but like just like
Speaker 1: moving in shadows, and you know the fact that we
Speaker 1: have to hear Marco Rubio be like I'm the guy
Speaker 1: to talk about it, you know what I mean. It's
Speaker 1: whatever you're trying to accomplish is already not being accomplished
Speaker 1: because he's now involved with it, you know. Now. That
Speaker 1: being said, if it was like a dream scenario, it
Speaker 1: would be really funny if they were just like we're
Speaker 1: angel and everyone's like, oh my god. I mean I
Speaker 1: think that's what I do. Think that's what the conservative
Speaker 1: side is hoping for, because like I'm seeing this covered
Speaker 1: in conservative media as it's not aliens, y'all because they
Speaker 1: didn't say it's aliens. People are like, see, we told
Speaker 1: you it's not aliens, which like nobody was saying that
Speaker 1: this report was going to be like aliens definitively no,
Speaker 1: and nobody like I don't know, I don't know anybody
Speaker 1: who thinks that, like, yes, it's definitely aliens. It's just
Speaker 1: like I'm intrigued by the fact that we don't know
Speaker 1: what the fuck it is, Like that's that's interesting to me.
Speaker 1: Oh you don't think it's aliens. I don't know what
Speaker 1: it is. I honestly don't know. I don't think there's
Speaker 1: any other answer, like just well, I just think statistically,
Speaker 1: it's like what are we what are we doing? Right,
Speaker 1: Like what do we think it's it's either and this
Speaker 1: is like so this is gonna get really convoluted for
Speaker 1: a second. But it's like, either we are becoming closer
Speaker 1: to viewing an objective reality, right and because of we're
Speaker 1: because we're getting smarter and we're viewing an objective reality.
Speaker 1: We're seeing things that language has kind of sliced from
Speaker 1: our purview by learning certain words, right, you know, like
Speaker 1: and again Gnam Chomsky a few other people talk about,
Speaker 1: you know how like language dictates literally what your reality is, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: And it's like the world is completely different from us
Speaker 1: to a spider to a dog, just by like the
Speaker 1: mental fitness that you have. Right. So, so it's either
Speaker 1: that or it's aliens. But like, I mean, what's the
Speaker 1: is the other you know, like option on the table
Speaker 1: that it's what it's tech from a different like country. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think that's likely, at least I
Speaker 1: hope it's not that, but I think that's what conservatives
Speaker 1: hope it is, because that like takes them down a
Speaker 1: direction of we need to like tool up for the
Speaker 1: coming like World War four or whatever. Yea, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean against them Chinese space ships. There's just I agree,
Speaker 1: there's like an overall hopefulness to at least The reason
Speaker 1: that I hope it's it's aliens is that like they
Speaker 1: are just observing us or like doing work in the background.
Speaker 1: That suggests that our fears of like a warlike alien
Speaker 1: species it's gonna come and murder us all might just
Speaker 1: be us imagining like a future based on our history.
Speaker 1: Like the further back you go, the more warlike humanity is,
Speaker 1: and like there's reason to believe that the further we progress,
Speaker 1: the less likely will be to intentionally kill each other,
Speaker 1: which would be like this group or whatever entity that's
Speaker 1: behind these things like is much more advanced than us,
Speaker 1: and maybe they're just I don't know, like maybe this
Speaker 1: is just the equivalent of like a fish seeing a
Speaker 1: person snorting, you know, and they're just like what the
Speaker 1: fuck and then they disappear and you're just like, huh,
Speaker 1: well that was weird. You know. It's just I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean I've heard I feel like whenever UFOs come up,
Speaker 1: like I obviously they exist in some capacity, but they're
Speaker 1: but they're never like the study of UFOs aren't helped
Speaker 1: by the people who super believe in them, because anyone
Speaker 1: I've talked to it that is like UFOs are a
Speaker 1: real thing, are like objectively a scary person that I
Speaker 1: didn't want to like spend a lot of time with, right,
Speaker 1: But but it is. I mean, I don't try. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to remember what movie is making me think this,
Speaker 1: but the like I've I've definitely seen it like propose
Speaker 1: in like bullshit theories and pop culture stuff where it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's the American government and then they make the report
Speaker 1: to make it seem like they don't know what it is,
Speaker 1: but they do know what it is, and it's like whatever,
Speaker 1: peeing in the pool yourself and then being like it
Speaker 1: feels like they're piss in this pool, which which I've done,
Speaker 1: just pulling from like my lived experience, right right, But
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, I I hope it's aliens.
Speaker 1: It's like the little what was the Amy Adams alien
Speaker 1: movie that ar aliens came and they're like, we're friendly.
Speaker 1: We just want to let you know you're gonna date
Speaker 1: Jeremy Runner. It's like such a weird Here's here's my
Speaker 1: problem with that movie. It's like, so they had to
Speaker 1: come to us. They are an advanced unstuck from time civilization,
Speaker 1: and they had to come to us to get help
Speaker 1: in three thousand years. Like it's just like I was like,
Speaker 1: what are we doing here there? It's just a it's
Speaker 1: an impossibility, you know what I'm saying. Like if someone
Speaker 1: came to me right now they're like, hey, I'm the
Speaker 1: smartest living creature in you know, the known universe, but
Speaker 1: I'm need you're helping three thousand years, I'd be like
Speaker 1: you're lying, like there's nothing. There's nothing I'm doing three
Speaker 1: thousand years from now that I'm not doing right now,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like this is I this
Speaker 1: is the peak, you know. And so uh that's that's
Speaker 1: Yaser's critique of Arrival, a movie that came out four
Speaker 1: years Your Silence was definite. I feel like these have
Speaker 1: more in common just based on like the one anecdote
Speaker 1: that's like unequivocally it was like a fighter pilot who
Speaker 1: like went up to it, and it just like kind
Speaker 1: of circled in front of him, but like almost like
Speaker 1: playfully and then just like zipped away. It really reminded
Speaker 1: me of like a Spielberg alien, like just like kind
Speaker 1: of a friendly, like goofy alien. It was just like,
Speaker 1: you know, playful and then just doesn't want anything to
Speaker 1: do with us really at this point, which well's what
Speaker 1: I read this report and popular mechanics, you know, years ago,
Speaker 1: and that's kind of what they proposed, right They're like
Speaker 1: any advanced civilization is knows we pose no threat to it.
Speaker 1: So they're sending satellites there, you know, like there's not
Speaker 1: an alien in that space cart going like WHOA cool?
Speaker 1: The pilot like you know what I mean, they're looking
Speaker 1: at us. They're like this place sucks. It's like smokey
Speaker 1: and dirty, like let's get out of here, bring our
Speaker 1: little drone back or whatever, you know, And like I
Speaker 1: think that's the biggest thing, but I don't. I think
Speaker 1: that's probably the most sane version of it. But I
Speaker 1: don't think you can even propose that version without like
Speaker 1: three of my neighbors walking outside with a rifle right now.
Speaker 1: Like it's just like if We're like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: they don't care. There's not even beings in those things.
Speaker 1: They'd be like, it's space Mexicans, you know, like and
Speaker 1: it just don't you know, like it's just we're dealing
Speaker 1: with psycho as. There's just no way to be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know it's there. They just happened to be smart
Speaker 1: and checking us out, you know what I mean. Because
Speaker 1: I'll also say, like, even if it was your neighbor
Speaker 1: who you've known for years, if they were like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm just coming by your house to check on things,
Speaker 1: you'd be like, why you so the fact that it's
Speaker 1: gonna be an alien get I get the anxiety looking
Speaker 1: in through your windows. Yeah, hey, hey, just wanted to
Speaker 1: make sure that everything was okay. We cool. All right,
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Avengers Campus, which is a new
Speaker 1: feature of Disneyland that opened on Friday in California. Adventure
Speaker 1: and this is personally bad news for me because it
Speaker 1: looks like the sort of thing that will be life
Speaker 1: changing for like my three year old who's sessed with
Speaker 1: superheroes and amusement parks are the worst places on the planet, Like,
Speaker 1: if you have to be there with children, it is really,
Speaker 1: it's really exhausting. It's really bad. But this looks fucking
Speaker 1: cool as hell. Man, I don't know. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's Disney like like they just do everything right.
Speaker 1: Like they're like, you know, I've been lucky enough to
Speaker 1: talk to what they're imagineer I believe is the exact term, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: And like you just hear about the things that they're
Speaker 1: developing and the things that they're like just dreaming up,
Speaker 1: and you're like, why weren't you a doctor? It's just
Speaker 1: the best application of these skills. I'm sorry, You're the
Speaker 1: most brilliant person I know, and you're making a dragon.
Speaker 1: You should be a doctor. But yeah, of course it
Speaker 1: looks cool and it's gonna be cool. And like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, Like here's the thing I hate adults who
Speaker 1: love Disneyland. Yeah, but when you're there, you're like, oh, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: this is cool. You know, yeah, it's cool. I mean
Speaker 1: that park specifically is like good at making me give
Speaker 1: a shit about things that I really didn't give a
Speaker 1: shit about. Where it's like I don't know when I
Speaker 1: heard about Avengers Campus, I'm like, I just don't really.
Speaker 1: It's just never been a huge thing for me. But
Speaker 1: then when I saw the footage of it, I was like, oh, fuck,
Speaker 1: this would be great. I mean I felt the same
Speaker 1: way about fucking Star Wars Land, like I can give
Speaker 1: a shit, And now I'm like foaming at the fucking
Speaker 1: loins for Toronto map, Like don't know how they do it,
Speaker 1: but it looks cool. I want to go. Not to somewhere,
Speaker 1: but at some point even cars World is fucking cool.
Speaker 1: That suck. That place is so awesome. Tunetown where you
Speaker 1: like they even have like the stupid thing where the
Speaker 1: barbells are stuck in the ground, but the bar itself
Speaker 1: is elastic, so it looks like it's like you're just like,
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. You could have given me ten thousand
Speaker 1: years to think of that, and I never would have thought.
Speaker 1: And it's nothing but an elastic band on the ground,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like they just do everything right.
Speaker 1: There's always the exact food you want, exactly where you
Speaker 1: want it. Like it's just like again, like Jamie, You're
Speaker 1: like you start caring about things that like, you know,
Speaker 1: you're just like walking through and you're like, wow, I
Speaker 1: wonder if Germany really is like you know, like and
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't care about Germany, but they just
Speaker 1: do a good job with architecture and smells and like
Speaker 1: there's never a piece of trash, like you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Like it's so it Also, all of this
Speaker 1: leads to my other review of a film that's twenty
Speaker 1: years old now is Banksy's Exit through the Gift Shop.
Speaker 1: And that's when I watched it. I was like, this
Speaker 1: is how I know it's fake. It's because he never
Speaker 1: would have been allowed to do any of that stuff
Speaker 1: at Disneyland that proclaims that he did. It's like you're
Speaker 1: hanging dead bodies from roller coasters and they didn't catch you.
Speaker 1: Like I've never seen a Nutter butter wrapper. I'm like,
Speaker 1: you the body of a Blantanamo Bay prisoner. Stop. Stop.
Speaker 1: So yeah, they're simply too good. Find me on letterbox
Speaker 1: or whatever. I did go to Disneyland recently, having been
Speaker 1: radicalized by Disneyland YouTube, and I went. I brought I
Speaker 1: was doing like a Zoom comedy show. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: I'll just do it from Disneyland. That'll be hilarious. I
Speaker 1: brought a fucking Jason mask with me to wear, and
Speaker 1: they they took it they took it away. They took it.
Speaker 1: They and they said specifically the teenager. It was very
Speaker 1: funny that the teenager was taking my Jason mask and
Speaker 1: I'm just like an adult woman, not with a child.
Speaker 1: But but he was like, I need you to know,
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna take it and I'm gonna destroy it.
Speaker 1: Like the destroying it was also very much. So He's like,
Speaker 1: you can go home now and come back later and
Speaker 1: keep the mask. But if I keep the mask, I'm
Speaker 1: going to destroy the mask. And I mean, I have
Speaker 1: no way of knowing if he followed through. I hope
Speaker 1: he just kept it right now. He had to tell
Speaker 1: me he was going to destroy it, like they don't
Speaker 1: fuck around there, you can't. Is not is not Disney.
Speaker 1: So I liked to I like to think that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: if I had if I had brought a terrifying Disney
Speaker 1: owned property, I could have like dressed up like who
Speaker 1: what's like an Avengers village. I could dress up like
Speaker 1: Ursula or the guy with the glove could have looked
Speaker 1: like him, He's scary looking, but not Jason's buy him.
Speaker 1: Yeah the Hamburger helper guy, Yeah right, yeah, right right,
Speaker 1: the Hamburger Helper yeah, and people died. Yeah, just became
Speaker 1: some loose stroking off. So they apparently that movie was
Speaker 1: about like they have just Avengers milling around. There's only
Speaker 1: one ride and doing like displays like the Dora Milage
Speaker 1: do it like staff demonstration from Wakanda and it like
Speaker 1: looks dope like somebody was posting video from that. But
Speaker 1: there's also like a Spider Man game where you can
Speaker 1: like legitimately like they just use cameras to track your
Speaker 1: movement so you're able to shoot webs like with extreme
Speaker 1: accuracy and like fight off Spider Man villains. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be there for sure. And there's the Infinity
Speaker 1: War one where you lose half your family, right, they
Speaker 1: take half your family from the rest of it for
Speaker 1: the rest of the and they just they keep you
Speaker 1: there as long as they can the ferry and they
Speaker 1: bring them back. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, well it's like that,
Speaker 1: you know California Adventure or yeah it was it no
Speaker 1: California Adventures the park right Soren over California, you know,
Speaker 1: and when they rebooted it, it would just drop you
Speaker 1: from seventy five thousand feet and you would plummet over California.
Speaker 1: It's just five hundred Ways to Die in California. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a five hundred Ways to Die ride, which you
Speaker 1: know Disney on the right suit, So they've been doing
Speaker 1: that one for a minute. You and random comics from
Speaker 1: La re enacting stupid deaths on God what was it TNN? Anyway,
Speaker 1: this has gone. I've y'alls turn. It's been such a
Speaker 1: pleasure of having you. Man, where can people find you
Speaker 1: and follow you her Instagram? Like, here's the thing. Let
Speaker 1: me be real, I'm gonna give you guys the handles,
Speaker 1: but don't expect anything. Like I'm really I don't know
Speaker 1: what's going on. I feel like I'm not really firing
Speaker 1: on all cylinders on Instagram. I think I'm aging. I'm thirty,
Speaker 1: I'm about to be thirty seven. I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: aging out of it a little bit. It's the thing
Speaker 1: I was talking about earlier. But I'm not an expert,
Speaker 1: so it's fine. So it really is just like happy
Speaker 1: birthdays to my brother and sister, you know. It's like
Speaker 1: stuff like that, like the idea of like making a
Speaker 1: funny video right now, like I pay someone to just
Speaker 1: come in here and be bash my head open with
Speaker 1: the basic instead of having to be like, all right,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the funny one video. Here's here's
Speaker 1: you know what, Jamie here comes a little skin can
Speaker 1: make me a little skin? Yeah, so yes, sir, underscore
Speaker 1: Lester on Instagram. Same thing on Twitter, And I'll say
Speaker 1: this on Twitter. You know, I'm kind of out here,
Speaker 1: just you know, faving some Jamie Loftus tweets, you know,
Speaker 1: faving a few others. I don't. I don't really have
Speaker 1: much to say anymore, like the fact that I'm tired
Speaker 1: of my own typing and voice and opinions. I'm like, God,
Speaker 1: can you imagine what it's like for someone to have
Speaker 1: to read what I'm saying? It feels crazy, And like, look,
Speaker 1: I know, look Jack, of course, huge fan, but I
Speaker 1: read more of Jamie's material in yours. Okay, that's just
Speaker 1: this is just but but like someone like Jamie right,
Speaker 1: who has perspective, opinions, has a you know, a wealth
Speaker 1: of knowledge about many things like that is like what
Speaker 1: I'm seeking out for others. And like the fact that
Speaker 1: me and her are allowed to this on the same platform.
Speaker 1: I think, you know what I mean, that's a major
Speaker 1: oversell of what I know and what I cannot It's
Speaker 1: really not because like look, I mean, like you know,
Speaker 1: our boy Jackie, Jack's like hold them down daily zeit guist, right,
Speaker 1: And like I just feel like my contribution to the
Speaker 1: world is like like I'm more of like, ah, that's good,
Speaker 1: you know, Like I'm like I help other people know
Speaker 1: what they're doing is good. So like so like for this,
Speaker 1: I'm like Jack Jamie, you guys are crushing you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. But like you could take all my
Speaker 1: dialogue out of this podcast and it would probably be better.
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying, Like, let me this is
Speaker 1: where everyone listening, let me encourage you. So how about
Speaker 1: this everyone, if you heard my if you heard any
Speaker 1: of my social media handles, reach out to me and
Speaker 1: tell me to follow you. I'll tell you start some
Speaker 1: just start some conversations. That was good. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think the Fruity Pebble discourse was necessary, and we
Speaker 1: think we changed a lot of minds here to them
Speaker 1: a lot of hearts today and the fact that you
Speaker 1: guys are bringing it back to that and like, you know,
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna have to go back to being like
Speaker 1: the fruity pebble guy. Once this is all over, and
Speaker 1: then you guys gonna go back to legitimately being smart
Speaker 1: and like contributing to society, and I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: be like, oh, I wonder if that Apple Watch I
Speaker 1: saw on sale is still at best Buy? Like that's
Speaker 1: that's kind of my day. I do this podcast every
Speaker 1: day and talk about like the philosophy of like extraterrestrial life,
Speaker 1: and the only thing anyone ever sends to me is
Speaker 1: memes about Baha Blast because I said, like, Baha Blast
Speaker 1: one time. But that's not on you. Other people's intelligence
Speaker 1: isn't on you. The fact that you are intelligent is
Speaker 1: like see, essentially, you've just brought on someone who would
Speaker 1: have tweeted at us, like you you really let the
Speaker 1: inmates from the asylum a little bit by breaking is
Speaker 1: there a tweet or some other work of social media
Speaker 1: social media? Can't you've been enjoying. Yeah, I don't want
Speaker 1: to give away the full part of it, so I will,
Speaker 1: I'll say, And then there's a little bit of work
Speaker 1: left on the on behalf of the listener. So it's
Speaker 1: a quote tweet. But there's a US vaccine tracker, right,
Speaker 1: and the US Vaccine Tracker tweeted that forty percent of
Speaker 1: Americans are vaccinated, and then someone named at John mottter
Speaker 1: quote tweeted it and said, wow, I guess that means
Speaker 1: forty percent of police too. Everyone google forty percent of
Speaker 1: cops for more vaccine and and if you know what
Speaker 1: that means, it's very funny and if not, you should google.
Speaker 1: And it really made me laugh for an hour and
Speaker 1: a half. I was just like, some people just do
Speaker 1: it right. You know, there's something for everyone in that tweet.
Speaker 1: That's beautiful, I know, right, So there's there was that,
Speaker 1: and then there was another dumb little meme that said
Speaker 1: the reason y'all young folks don't like soul food is
Speaker 1: because all y'all's grandma's is thirty three. And that one
Speaker 1: it's just saying. I had to. I saw it two
Speaker 1: days ago and I saved it on my phone and
Speaker 1: I was like, this is getting used. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know where, but here it is. All right, Jamie, where
Speaker 1: can people find you? What's a tweet you've been enjoying?
Speaker 1: You can find me on Twitter at Jamie loftus. Help.
Speaker 1: I've mostly been tweeting about hot dogs recently, which if
Speaker 1: you have a suggestion for a good a good hot
Speaker 1: dog anywhere in the continental United States. I'd like to
Speaker 1: hear about it. Share it with me, because I'm going
Speaker 1: on a road trip. I want to get as many
Speaker 1: hot dogs as I can, and I want to make
Speaker 1: sure that I'm getting a healthy variety and not getting
Speaker 1: a false idea of what this nation's hot dogs are like.
Speaker 1: And then Instagram, where I don't. I don't think I
Speaker 1: have much to say there right now. It's mostly just
Speaker 1: I got a JC Penny photo shoot done a couple
Speaker 1: of months ago, and I'm just really trying to make
Speaker 1: it last for as long as possible. So if you
Speaker 1: want to see a picture from the J. C. Penny
Speaker 1: Photo studio every couple of weeks, you can head over there.
Speaker 1: And that's that's where I put my JC Penny pictures.
Speaker 1: I'll shout out a tweet from my friend Colin Crawford,
Speaker 1: who does OK. I don't know how often he does this.
Speaker 1: I think it's just been an ongoing thread for about
Speaker 1: a month now, but he'll he'll post the best cars
Speaker 1: on Craigslist, and he was able to find a zamboni
Speaker 1: for me that was in uh Sill Mark that I
Speaker 1: guess I'll just describe the zamboni to you. It's costs.
Speaker 1: It costs fifteen thousand dollars and it's being marketed as
Speaker 1: dumb and dumber to Chevy samboni. Uh. And what it
Speaker 1: is is it's a strip club zamboni. It's I don't
Speaker 1: know what where this zamboni was, what the proximity to
Speaker 1: the club. It's advertising, but it says mister pants all
Speaker 1: night cabaret and and then the address of the club.
Speaker 1: And so if I also, if anyone wants to send
Speaker 1: me fifteen thousand dollars and uh an ice rink. That's
Speaker 1: a that's a little project I've got going on the
Speaker 1: side trying to get mister pants. Zam, you're going to
Speaker 1: use it to clean up Echo Park. You turn to
Speaker 1: God there, I'm gonna yeah, I'm gonna run over the
Speaker 1: castleman Mitchell Barrel with my mister Pants cabaret zamboni. It
Speaker 1: will be a slow and incredible, incredible win for the community.
Speaker 1: Tweet I was enjoying is from Ryan Perry tweeted, Oh
Speaker 1: you're an NBA fan, name your favorite last three minutes
Speaker 1: of a Bones episode. Uh. You can find me on
Speaker 1: Twitter at Jack Underscore O'Brien. You can find us on

Speaker 1: we talked about in today's episode. We also often link
Speaker 1: off to a song that we think you guys might enjoy,
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't have a recommendation today, Jamie.
Speaker 1: Do you have a song recommendation? Yes? Oh, any any
Speaker 1: song or listeners check out Here's the thing. I only
Speaker 1: listen to Macilmore. I mean, here's here's the thing BLM,
Speaker 1: but not with raps, like only white raps. I like Mackelmore.
Speaker 1: I like, what's her name, Iggy Azalea, Jacky, Jack Harlow,
Speaker 1: he's white. I resent that I have to learn who
Speaker 1: Jack Harlow is. He comes up so much. Can I
Speaker 1: say something, Jamie, I don't quite know who he is,
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be one of those things that it
Speaker 1: just happened enough times around me that I like found
Speaker 1: out who he was. But like again, I like, it's
Speaker 1: like the Olivia Rodrigo thing, Like there's been so many
Speaker 1: adults being like, oh my god, I connect, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is bringing me back, and I'm like, has nothing
Speaker 1: else happened from when you were in high school or now?
Speaker 1: Like you can't you don't like, come on, let's think
Speaker 1: of like there has to either listen to the song
Speaker 1: from that you listen to in high school or listen
Speaker 1: to a song about adult you now. But like this
Speaker 1: idea of like this nostalgia adjacent thing where people are like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm in my fields and also like this was the
Speaker 1: last thing I say. Sorry, nothing more sinister than an
Speaker 1: adult being in their fields. Here's my thing, y'all. Like Jack, like,
Speaker 1: let's say adult version of you right now? What was
Speaker 1: your favorite what was your favorite musician in high school?
Speaker 1: Like contempt? Okay, Wu Tang? Right if you now traveled
Speaker 1: to the past and met sixteen year old you and
Speaker 1: went was sucked? Young Jack, guess what we both equally

Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like if it's sixteen year old me met
