Speaker 1: you know, like Happy Magagine, like Tyler Wood shows up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love the adding on or removing an S from
Speaker 1: the end of the last name. That doesn't Oh yeah,

Speaker 1: Thank you. Yes, important to any community to just have
Speaker 1: that dividing line where a big business goes to make
Speaker 1: decisions people. Yeah, exactly, Ryan. What what's new with you? Man?
Speaker 1: Where where are you you in l A. I'm in Dayton,
Speaker 1: Ohio right now? The family with the Flyers, with the Flyers,
Speaker 1: oh Man. The Flyers had the national championship wrapped up
Speaker 1: a year ago. COVID took away the number one seed
Speaker 1: from the ud Flyers and the men's basketball tournament last year.
Speaker 1: But hey, yeah, we know in our heart of hearts
Speaker 1: that the Flyers would have you know, been cutting down
Speaker 1: the nets out of the sixty what is it sixty
Speaker 1: eight now or sixty six? Yeah, sixty six, so yeah,
Speaker 1: one short of being cool. But anyway, yeah, so the
Speaker 1: flyer eight as strong as ever around these parts. So
Speaker 1: it's always nice to come back and you know, see
Speaker 1: all that. But uh yeah, just uh hanging out here, Jack,
Speaker 1: you were giving blood offerings, right, Maybe the karma, maybe
Speaker 1: the karma would have been better if you guys hadn't
Speaker 1: put for sale signs on my family's front poard front
Speaker 1: yard and literally run me out of town around eleven
Speaker 1: years old. He beat up. Come on, look what you
Speaker 1: did to him? Become a podcaster because of that, you know,
Speaker 1: And to be fair, I was not for that decision, right,
Speaker 1: Remember I took some of the signs off your yard
Speaker 1: right right out. I felt bad when they stated the ground.
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, this doesn't feel right
Speaker 1: in the window. Yeah, it's like the one thing this well,
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say that. I don't want to, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't want to come off as talking badly about
Speaker 1: where I grew up. But it is one of the
Speaker 1: let's just say, one of the biggest things that people
Speaker 1: around here. Uh, you know, really get take pride in
Speaker 1: and get fired up. It's like the right brothers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the right brothers. And it's the Flyers. Yea born in
Speaker 1: Dayton exactly. And there's there's you know, I think the
Speaker 1: knowledge of that, like once people realize it, then the
Speaker 1: it kind of clicks in for him. But like there's
Speaker 1: a statue downtown somewhere of an ice tray, because like
Speaker 1: an ice cube tray, because I think the person who
Speaker 1: invented the ice cube trays from here. Uh, there's this
Speaker 1: weird ice cube. It's actually there's a guy in North
Speaker 1: Carolina who claims that he invented it. And there's just
Speaker 1: like the right brothers. Well no, because the right brothers.
Speaker 1: There's like, yeah, a controversy over whether it's Dayton or
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Not really controversy, it's just they both lay
Speaker 1: claim to the legacy. And that argument plays out on
Speaker 1: the license plates of each day that's uh, I think
Speaker 1: first and fly is North Carolina and birth use of
Speaker 1: aviation is Ohio. So it's he's a real Oh he's
Speaker 1: got some definite claims to just aviation greatness, like most
Speaker 1: of the early astronauts and like a lot of the people,
Speaker 1: first people to do anything in the sky, we're all
Speaker 1: from Ohio. It's just randomly like a very hotbed for
Speaker 1: I think because people just want to get the funk
Speaker 1: out of there, so they're just like, please, let me
Speaker 1: leave Ohio and rock it into the sky in the
Speaker 1: most dramatic fashion possible. Emo Phillips has the best joke
Speaker 1: about Dayton, Ohio I've ever heard in my life from someone.
Speaker 1: Is he from No, he's not, And that's what makes
Speaker 1: it even crazier. I'm not gonna do my Emo Phillips
Speaker 1: voice because I would be doing them disservice. But he says,
Speaker 1: he opens his set like this was years ago. I
Speaker 1: saw him at while He's comedy club downtown Dayton, and
Speaker 1: he just opens up. He gets on stage, comes up,
Speaker 1: he goes Dayton, Ohio the birthplace of White Flight, just like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, and the white audience was just like wait, wait,
Speaker 1: what the funk? It was just like okay, too real, um,
Speaker 1: even though you know, okay, let's talk about the Pine Club. Huh,
Speaker 1: what's up with that steakhouse? Huh? Remember we can do
Speaker 1: some local material. Then what's up with burritos? When I
Speaker 1: lived in Dayton. The things that we had Clint to
Speaker 1: like claim to was, well, the flyers were there. There
Speaker 1: was a reason people were putting signs on our front porch.
Speaker 1: The flyers sucked when my dad coached there. They were
Speaker 1: they were really bad. So we had other things that
Speaker 1: we had to defend. Your tormenters, Jack, No, No, they
Speaker 1: were right. No, they were right. My family sucked. We
Speaker 1: should have moved before, we should have left sooner. We
Speaker 1: didn't even came. But that there was a lot of
Speaker 1: people claimed that Dayton was the murder capital of America.
Speaker 1: Is that a thing that you remember Ryan at that time?
Speaker 1: Remember capital? We we actually have the highest murder rate.
Speaker 1: Like that was like a cool thing to claim. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's Ebdon flowed to. Like Dayton still has a little
Speaker 1: bit of I mean, the opioid crisis here is like
Speaker 1: the heroin problems is pretty substantial, and there's like this
Speaker 1: weird sense of pride like yeah we do are we?
Speaker 1: You know? Um? But like I remember the murder capital thing.
Speaker 1: I remember also the drug capital of the country because
Speaker 1: Interstate seventy and they intersect, so it's like that's world.
Speaker 1: It's the second sentence after yeah, I'm from Dayton. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: we're murder capital of the world. But you know it's
Speaker 1: because the two interstates cross right there. And yeah, all
Speaker 1: the drifters and serial killers and drug traffickers, they all
Speaker 1: come through Dayton, you know, they all they all have
Speaker 1: their picture on the wall at the Marion's Pizza and
Speaker 1: uh yeah Marion's. Yeah. I remember a lot of that,
Speaker 1: like like that weird downtrodden pride, almost like you can
Speaker 1: step on us, but we're not dying. It's that kind
Speaker 1: of like that Midwestern pride of that. Yeah. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: people from Youngstown. I got the same energy too. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of town man ain't a game.
Speaker 1: I'm like, whoa, Okay. I've talked to other people who
Speaker 1: have who said that their town like laid claim to
Speaker 1: something similar like murder capital of like the region or
Speaker 1: something like that. So yeah, there is like a sort
Speaker 1: of fucked up pride that I think when you're from
Speaker 1: a town that I don't know, most people haven't heard of,
Speaker 1: that's like you just anything to put you on the map. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I've always had this theory that the less I
Speaker 1: don't this, I'm gonna come off like an asshole, I think.
Speaker 1: But the less you accomplish as a person, the further
Speaker 1: away your pride gets. Right, Like like if I've never
Speaker 1: accomplished anything, oh, I got an uncle. You know, I
Speaker 1: got an uncle who was famous for blah blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. But if you don't have an uncle, you know,
Speaker 1: you got like, oh, there's a guy from my hometown
Speaker 1: who invented the ice cube trade. But if there's nobody
Speaker 1: from your hometown, it's like, well, Ohio is the birthplace
Speaker 1: of flight. And then if you don't have anything, you're like,
Speaker 1: America is the best country, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: And now there's nothing in America to be proud about.
Speaker 1: So it's like, well, you know, the Western hemisphere is
Speaker 1: is really killing it out Western Europe. Yeah, so it's
Speaker 1: like the further away you get from like your I
Speaker 1: guess it's like Kevin Bacon accomplishments, Like how many degrees
Speaker 1: of separation are you away from? Pride is what you
Speaker 1: take Kevin dat right, pad air Force space that's the
Speaker 1: big thing in Dayton and we'll probably talk about later
Speaker 1: like boom, I mean we all know what happens down there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: most people who are born and raising daton or at
Speaker 1: least like extraterrestrial because of right pet you know, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: we we know it's in the water. We know what
Speaker 1: they do to us when when we're being delivered in
Speaker 1: the Miami Valley hospitals being beamed up to that research vessel. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't think that they're putting a little alien DNA
Speaker 1: in there. You're crazy, man. What is something from your
Speaker 1: search history that's revealing about who you are, what you're
Speaker 1: up to? Yeah? I I was looking up see pair
Speaker 1: because Anna and I we do a show called deck
Speaker 1: Head's Chief Stews on Tuesday Night Santa Hasnia fellows like
Speaker 1: gang Affiliate, and we're talking about like par soda and
Speaker 1: because we drink weird things on the show because it's
Speaker 1: on Twitch, we like to drink weird things out of
Speaker 1: Martini glasses. And uh, I bought a para soda at
Speaker 1: a Armenian market. But I sent her a picture of
Speaker 1: something else that was like a sea buckthorn drink and
Speaker 1: she was like, is that hair? What are those words?
Speaker 1: A sea buckthorn? Yeah? Yeah, So then I was like,
Speaker 1: sea buckthorne is a plant. It's like underwater berries and
Speaker 1: people drink it. People make a juice out of it
Speaker 1: and drink it. So yeah, sometimes I was I was
Speaker 1: looking up a lot of like weird juice. Why can't
Speaker 1: I imagine anything being like sweet that comes from the ocean,
Speaker 1: I think, I guess because everything's just so salty. I
Speaker 1: don't know that it is sweet. I think it's like
Speaker 1: weird and tangy. And it's more about the supposed health benefits.
Speaker 1: I had never heard of it as a plant, but
Speaker 1: apparently it's like the number one health drink in like
Speaker 1: Russia and Ukraine. Oh awesome. I feel like we gotta
Speaker 1: there's gotta be like some piece of good news where
Speaker 1: they like discover, oh ship, this is this thing that
Speaker 1: lives in the Mariana Trench is the like most healthy plant.
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be good for heart health allegedly, but
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where it's like there's no
Speaker 1: real proof, you know, yeah, but maybe yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I feel good, so yeah, am I just gonna draw
Speaker 1: that connection? It is? No. I do feel like it's
Speaker 1: like whenever they find a plant in the rainforest and
Speaker 1: it's like it cures some very specific disease, you know,
Speaker 1: and you're like Why would that be true. Why would
Speaker 1: there be a plant that just has something in it
Speaker 1: that's like good for that disease? Nature is amazing. Yeah, Tori,
Speaker 1: what is something you think is overrated? Something that I
Speaker 1: think is overrated? Right now? Um, I'm really I'm really
Speaker 1: struggling with this because I'm just I'm in such a
Speaker 1: like bad, like dark spot with all of the policing.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say policing, No, that's overrated. It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: so I'm sure you talked about this, but like the
Speaker 1: Capital Police requested like a bazillion more dollars because their tech,
Speaker 1: hey again, is not up to part and that's the
Speaker 1: reason why the insurrection happened and all of their like
Speaker 1: miney bullshit excuses and I'm just not here for any
Speaker 1: of that, and like who else gets to say I
Speaker 1: suck at my job objectively? Like please look at my data.
Speaker 1: This is the results that I'm giving you, and uh,
Speaker 1: hundred million more dollars you know what? You know what
Speaker 1: to fix this hundred million more money? Well, the thing was,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw it. I know that
Speaker 1: that the auditor or that audit of what happened said
Speaker 1: we haven't even been trained on equipment we bought three
Speaker 1: years ago. The manufacturers told us we needed training on
Speaker 1: and that's why we became white supremacist that sympathized with
Speaker 1: the insurrection on January six and then let everybody in
Speaker 1: your honor, okay, like it's truly some ship where you're like, yo,
Speaker 1: you you couldn't have fucked that up more. You know,
Speaker 1: you need more money, need more money. We're not supposed
Speaker 1: to take selfies with the people who are armed and
Speaker 1: trying to overturn you know, my camp. My phone was broken,
Speaker 1: so I had I did not have that specific training. Um.
Speaker 1: You know what I was just thinking about was, you know,
Speaker 1: as the police are like, oh, who's gonna respond to
Speaker 1: like these armed conflicts are like armed criminals who are
Speaker 1: intent on pulling off a crime. I was thinking of
Speaker 1: the North Hollywood shootout and you know that is the
Speaker 1: basis for heat and just like kind of reading back
Speaker 1: over news stories from the time, and it's what, like,
Speaker 1: I I think I have underestimated the media's role in
Speaker 1: like this whole police and police military industrial state because
Speaker 1: that shootout was like fun for the local news that
Speaker 1: was big, huge ratings, and the stories covering it at
Speaker 1: the time, are go from You know, there were two
Speaker 1: thousand rounds fired in a public place, eight civilians were harmed,
Speaker 1: and the responses, well, the police just need bigger guns
Speaker 1: like these. Let me tell you something. My displaying name
Speaker 1: on Twitter Hideo NoHo. Okay, because I'm from North Hollywood.
Speaker 1: I was I was in school. The fucking bank they
Speaker 1: robbed up the street from my school and we had
Speaker 1: to fucking lay down because you could hear all the
Speaker 1: gunfire from the shootout. And the story was the cops
Speaker 1: don't have enough assault rifles, so they had to go
Speaker 1: to being B and B guns and van eyes and
Speaker 1: by all their assault rifles so they could fight fire
Speaker 1: with fire. And yeah, it was like the way the
Speaker 1: news was treating it was like it was almost that
Speaker 1: point where car chases were big. Baby. We love a
Speaker 1: car chase, you know, we love more seeing somebody a
Speaker 1: body armor squeezing off a fucking chopper at a bunch
Speaker 1: of cops and then showing like when the student you
Speaker 1: I remember on the news, we had to shoot on
Speaker 1: like the rolling cart TV because we're like, is this
Speaker 1: shootout gonna get in near our school? And we saw
Speaker 1: the guy get killed when he was walking down the
Speaker 1: street from the helicopter. We're like, yo, teachers, like okay,
Speaker 1: we gotta turn this off. Like you just saw that
Speaker 1: dude get domed from a helicopter. Maybe this isn't good TV,
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's it's just one of those things to
Speaker 1: where it's like what the what was that for? It
Speaker 1: was like it's like suddenly everyone became those money Yeah right,
Speaker 1: everyone became John McClane and ship and they're like, oh no,
Speaker 1: you're not getting away with a sixty will having much
Speaker 1: money they had with money, Like why why WiFi are
Speaker 1: the first shot at them? Why? Right, it's just money,
Speaker 1: you can that money? Just uh? I mean that this
Speaker 1: was so yeah, I think either on this show or
Speaker 1: the Crack podcast. So we talked about like the sort
Speaker 1: of see change that people are trying to get to
Speaker 1: happen around car chases like you mentioned, and just like
Speaker 1: just let them go, just fucking let them go, like
Speaker 1: you'll you'll, you'll figure it out a later time. And
Speaker 1: it all comes back to that fucking broken windows policing
Speaker 1: where it's like if they if we don't catch them now,
Speaker 1: and and it's just complete junk science. It's complete bullshit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it has no basis in reality, because all the data
Speaker 1: that we have shows that over policing for small crimes
Speaker 1: leads to an uptick in bigger crimes, right because people
Speaker 1: are desperate and they're trying to escape whatever situation they're
Speaker 1: in that they don't have resources for. Yeah, it doesn't work.
Speaker 1: It's it actually makes us less safe. But you know whatever,
Speaker 1: the cops are the good guys, I guess yeah. I
Speaker 1: mean that's I think the only thing we can just
Speaker 1: keep hammering away on for people who don't understand is
Speaker 1: like we have to redefine what crime is or people
Speaker 1: need to begin to rethink what crime is rather than
Speaker 1: like there's nasty motherfucker's out there that are trying to
Speaker 1: get you and we need the boys in blue, rather
Speaker 1: than like we have failed and entire segments of the population.
Speaker 1: And it's incredible because crime has been going down, right,
Speaker 1: like crimes from going down since since the nineties early nineties,
Speaker 1: and it has nothing to do with policing, Like crime
Speaker 1: would have gone down regardless. So I think that, like,
Speaker 1: but they keep advocating for like this whole we need
Speaker 1: this infusion of cash because we need to put all
Speaker 1: of these people in prison for you know, however long.
Speaker 1: And it's but there's this nerve I don't know, the
Speaker 1: Fox News nertive of Black Lives Matter is going to
Speaker 1: come to your house and knock down your door and
Speaker 1: shoot you in your bed because we care about like
Speaker 1: random or Antifa, whoever it is, Because that's what we
Speaker 1: do to civil rights leaders exactly. That's the internalized white
Speaker 1: supremacy and knowing the evil of it, knowing that there's
Speaker 1: an evil there, and like not being able to reconcile
Speaker 1: that and knowing, Okay, this is what we do. So
Speaker 1: if we accrease them of doing that, then it'll I
Speaker 1: think that they can't see us as anything but the
Speaker 1: inverse of themselves. Yeah. Absolutely, That's why everything to do
Speaker 1: with any kind of liberation of black people or any
Speaker 1: press group is about this inversion of power that they
Speaker 1: black supremacy. Right, if they're not on top, then we're
Speaker 1: on top. There are two movies that are nominated for
Speaker 1: Oscars that talk about the assassination of Fred Hampton, and
Speaker 1: sure enough the one by Aaron Sorkin. Like they say
Speaker 1: it's an assassination, but they also say that he was
Speaker 1: like shot in the shoulder and therefore like couldn't have
Speaker 1: shot back at the police. He was knocked out by
Speaker 1: a drug cocktail like that. It's just wild that that
Speaker 1: isn't like front, front and center, Like they drugged him
Speaker 1: and he was passed out in his bed when they
Speaker 1: shot him in the back of the head. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: Sorkin Sorkin the boot. Yeah right. What's something you think
Speaker 1: is underrated? Mm hmm do I do I want to
Speaker 1: say therapy? Or do I want to say bike riding? Oh?
Speaker 1: You know, it's underrated. Calling my fuckers you ain't talked
Speaker 1: to in a long time, Like that's one fine every week,
Speaker 1: fine fifteen minutes for someone you haven't talked to in
Speaker 1: a year. That's I'm sorry to get deep like that, seriously,
Speaker 1: Like that's that's where I am. And it's probably been
Speaker 1: the coolest thing to just talk and just reconnect with
Speaker 1: people and you know, just trying to be some degree
Speaker 1: of human if you will. I know it's a hassle.
Speaker 1: I know it's to paint in the air, So do
Speaker 1: it while you do other things, Like that's my thing
Speaker 1: while I'm playing something brainless, you know, doing PlayStation or whatever,
Speaker 1: or if I'm at the park watching my boy. He's
Speaker 1: out there with his friends, so all I have to
Speaker 1: do is look at him and make sure he's not
Speaker 1: snatched or hurt. So that's the perfect time to call
Speaker 1: an old classmate from somewhere. And so you know, that's
Speaker 1: that's the type of stuff that I like to do.
Speaker 1: And I'm finally realizing, oh, this is meaningful in life
Speaker 1: is precious, especially like being locked down and stuff and
Speaker 1: not really having the same sort of social connections. It's
Speaker 1: funny too, because there are times I would get a
Speaker 1: call from somebody who was doing that to me. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna hit Miles up and I'll see
Speaker 1: a name calling like funk. I don't talk this person
Speaker 1: a year, And I was like sweating almost because you're like, funk,
Speaker 1: what am I gonna say? Like what? We don't have
Speaker 1: this awkward conversation they want to And then you pick
Speaker 1: up and it's like we it's like we left off
Speaker 1: for exactly where we were, however long ago it was,
Speaker 1: and we we spoke from the forty minutes straight because
Speaker 1: it was so effortless and you and that's that was
Speaker 1: one of those moments. She was like funk, man, I'm
Speaker 1: not here creating stress about this when it's actually such
Speaker 1: a like rejuvenating thing to even begin talking your friends
Speaker 1: again or even people like you're saying that you haven't
Speaker 1: spoken to in a while. Yeah, definitely want money. So
Speaker 1: luckily this person had more money than me, so I
Speaker 1: was like, I'll ask them for money. Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, I'm gonna try and just listening to you talk,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna the next time I'm thinking of interacting with
Speaker 1: a bunch of people I don't know, like on Twitter,
Speaker 1: like posting something on Twitter, reading a bunch of tweets,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call somebody I do know. Are you used
Speaker 1: to know? Because yeah, it's it definitely gives you life,
Speaker 1: as opposed to slowly sapping your will to live Twitter.
Speaker 1: But sometimes alright, let's take a quick break and we're
Speaker 1: gonna be right back to talk some news. And we're
Speaker 1: back and let's talk about Netflix real quick. There was
Speaker 1: an interview with the guy who was calling the shots
Speaker 1: at the time. When is it Is it still the
Speaker 1: same dude? I think so? Yeah, Ted Srandas, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so he someone's interviewed and was like, how did you
Speaker 1: come up with this brilliant idea of binge listening, Like,
Speaker 1: how did you predict that that was the direction people
Speaker 1: wanted to go in with our viewing habits, what like
Speaker 1: what was the stroke of Jack into the matrix and
Speaker 1: then predict this? And his answer is his answer is
Speaker 1: so fucking like why we just think like these people
Speaker 1: are so next level geniuses and they're just like idiots
Speaker 1: who just fell upon a solution. Yeah, he said, I
Speaker 1: never even thought about it. So the reason they're talking
Speaker 1: was because of House of Cards that before this they
Speaker 1: were sort of lauding how House of Cards really changed
Speaker 1: the paradigm by dumping it all book. If we're going
Speaker 1: to really speak fact, it's Lily Hammer. Okay, Lily Hammer
Speaker 1: did it first with Steve and z DVDs did it first?
Speaker 1: Uh TV Marathons of road Rules over the weekend? Where
Speaker 1: there are are are the four fathers of this bi
Speaker 1: in this sense he said talking about the House of Cards,
Speaker 1: says it was the happy accident of happy accidents. When
Speaker 1: we finished the season the House of Cards, we were
Speaker 1: about to launch, somebody asked how we're gonna put it out.
Speaker 1: We had a meeting and they asked, how are you
Speaker 1: going to release it. I said, how do you mean?
Speaker 1: And they said one week? When a week for a month?
Speaker 1: I said, well everything on Netflix. We got it a
Speaker 1: season after it was on TV, and we put up
Speaker 1: the whole season. And I said, well, we can't have
Speaker 1: one show that comes out one a week and everything
Speaker 1: else all at once, so let's just release it all
Speaker 1: at once. And that's how we That's how we did it, casual.
Speaker 1: The answer was like, how that happened? As a writer,
Speaker 1: I want to take a pencil and push it directly
Speaker 1: through my eye. Creators, how the audience is going to
Speaker 1: receive the media house the Cards happen to be an
Speaker 1: exceptional dingeble show, basically a movie made by a movie maker.
Speaker 1: It's like Lucky House of Cards. But can American TV
Speaker 1: writers never know how long it's gonna go. They don't
Speaker 1: know really how things are gonna air on streamers, So
Speaker 1: like it is very difficult to deliver to the audience
Speaker 1: and product when you're guessing at how they're going to
Speaker 1: get it, even more than like writing for another director's
Speaker 1: for a director's mission, there's like that, but then how
Speaker 1: does it even get to folk? That's just so frustrating
Speaker 1: that like executives don't consider how people watch, how we
Speaker 1: get Breaking Bad the whole season. Okay, do same for
Speaker 1: House Cards A little bit that that wasn't a plan
Speaker 1: in like the creation of the show is crazy that
Speaker 1: they didn't already necklace. It's still a mailing series. You
Speaker 1: were gonna be sending DVDs out. Wasn't up one you
Speaker 1: had physical media to make to make this decision an order.
Speaker 1: I think the one thing that was probably good on
Speaker 1: his end was like in earlier in this interview he's
Speaker 1: talking about like how they arrived at making Originals is
Speaker 1: because they're like ship, this is picking up steam and
Speaker 1: it's good for now. But when they realize how much
Speaker 1: money we're making, all of the other studios are gonna
Speaker 1: start making their own ships. So we gotta we gotta
Speaker 1: get aggressive with originals, Like fucking now that you know
Speaker 1: a pile of cash hit the laundry mat, it's that's
Speaker 1: like a nice backstory, but that's like this isn't a mystery.
Speaker 1: When he sniffed like it's all had to get clean
Speaker 1: and David Fincher's phone number was on auto days, they're like,
Speaker 1: hey man, can you can you can you turn this
Speaker 1: around pretty quick. You're like, uh, yeah, what's Robin right doing?
Speaker 1: Get her on the Crown Prince with a gold DVD
Speaker 1: on the wall somewhere. Oh yeah, wow, I'm sorry. I'm
Speaker 1: in l A right now. So I feel just very free.
Speaker 1: It's it's that's fine. I mean I wish we could
Speaker 1: turnally integrated business. I can say whatever I want, can
Speaker 1: do anything you want. I did a reality show for you.
Speaker 1: I never would get right, where is my Saudi funding?
Speaker 1: Where is it? Bring it forth, Mohammed bin Salman, please?
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I think the one thing though,
Speaker 1: I mean, aside from the origins of it though, is
Speaker 1: truly like it's wild to think was like the start
Speaker 1: point of it sort of formally becoming this thing where
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, this is how we're just gonna do
Speaker 1: ship now just dump it on people. But it has
Speaker 1: given me just the ability because of I think to
Speaker 1: your point, getting like DVDs before, like when you'd be like,
Speaker 1: I don't really watch that show, and then you had
Speaker 1: the fan friend who's like, here, take nine hundred of
Speaker 1: these DVDs now so we can talk about this, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, fuck, all right, fine, It's like now with
Speaker 1: binge watching like that was I was able to like
Speaker 1: get into a show much quicker because before, when you
Speaker 1: were sort of beholden to, like the the flow of
Speaker 1: the broadcast schedule, I would quickly become cynical, like, man,
Speaker 1: funk that show? I don't care, But it's most like
Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything and I don't have the time
Speaker 1: to be able to watch at all. HBO still does,
Speaker 1: still does the weekly thing every once in a while. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they do still care about ratings, which is so bizarre
Speaker 1: to me because I mean, I guess as an elder
Speaker 1: millennial again forty, I am the spear type of the
Speaker 1: millennials into everything. Um, we don't care about when something's on.
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody who isn't a parent of someone
Speaker 1: my age that is still concerned about when something will
Speaker 1: come on. Right, what's a watch on demand world? Yeah,
Speaker 1: being tethered to some day unless like maybe like some
Speaker 1: of the trash reality shows that like I love to
Speaker 1: watch the second it comes out. But other than that, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's completely irrelevant. Um Man, just subscribe. Ma. Well,
Speaker 1: speaking of parents, you can probably hear a car start
Speaker 1: outside the garage, which you know, I could be like
Speaker 1: except they gave me the garage to their car slip outside.
Speaker 1: So sound of a super a roaring in the background. Uh,
Speaker 1: note that my family is going to gather some food
Speaker 1: since I haven't grown anything yet. You failed him. You
Speaker 1: failed on skate I have I failed as a provider.
Speaker 1: Skateland needs to get on the board and start shredding
Speaker 1: for legs so she can monetize. Monetize this still shred
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm so importing. Come on, come on, come on,
Speaker 1: no idea. I certainly not during a pandemic. I can't
Speaker 1: be falling on my coxys and needing the services tied paramedics.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't do that. Let's talk really quickly
Speaker 1: about junk food vaccination promotions because the world is dealing
Speaker 1: with a shocking and balance in vaccine distribution. As many
Speaker 1: as sixty countries, including some of the world's poorest, are
Speaker 1: probably going to be stalled at the first shots of
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen vaccination vaccinations until as late as June
Speaker 1: because the whole delivery process and just capitalists like global
Speaker 1: market ethos is bullshit, is going to come back and
Speaker 1: give us all polio for this. I feel like it's deserved.
Speaker 1: But meanwhile, in the US, there have been several promotions
Speaker 1: to encourage vaccination. Most famously, Crispy Cream is offering a
Speaker 1: free donut a day to get the vaccination, which prompted
Speaker 1: a backlash since eating a donor a day would yeah,
Speaker 1: and also be more likely to kill you. Then COVID
Speaker 1: and then okay, first of all, don't it's a cops
Speaker 1: are together because don't ut shops are open twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: That the service to all of us, not just police officers.
Speaker 1: Anyone can go get a donut any time. It is
Speaker 1: a great equalizer and donut shall not be maligned on
Speaker 1: my watch, no way anything. And if a doughnut a
Speaker 1: day is what somebody, If somebody gets a vaccination to
Speaker 1: get a doughnut today and eat that, that person is hungry,
Speaker 1: and there are bigger problems to solve. If we're rybou
Speaker 1: hungry people getting food, we don't get to care about
Speaker 1: what food it is. If Krispy Cream is going to
Speaker 1: do more for hungry people that are vaccinated, and then
Speaker 1: the government is then fucking send him a wheel of cheese,
Speaker 1: then who's cool is that? Was like some fitness person
Speaker 1: who was like being like, oh, a donut a day.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, sam Adams jumped in. Sam Adams
Speaker 1: is giving people a free point or free beer for
Speaker 1: getting back for their vaccine cards. Right, It's like we
Speaker 1: literally have to. It's like truly a carrot on a stick.
Speaker 1: People say, hey, vaccine, vaccine, what do you want beer?
Speaker 1: What do you want a donut? Defense they're giving pre
Speaker 1: rolls with proof vaccination in Michigan. I love it. And
Speaker 1: in China they're doing I I won't get one free
Speaker 1: ice cream cones and they're doing that in Russia too.
Speaker 1: You get an ice cream for you got a little treat.
Speaker 1: It's just the most this story like made me view
Speaker 1: America like we're like view the world like we're just
Speaker 1: in a giant skinner box where people are just like
Speaker 1: where do we move the treats for now? To get
Speaker 1: the people to move rre we want them to vaccine.
Speaker 1: Put the Venn diagram of people who get vaccinated for
Speaker 1: a doughnut is very small. There's a certain vaccinated people,
Speaker 1: and there's donuts. And when those that little circle meets,
Speaker 1: like everybody wants a donut. I just love this thing
Speaker 1: that like a donut a year is a funny idea.
Speaker 1: I don't know who's going to take advantage of it,
Speaker 1: like you go once, like you go get your one
Speaker 1: treat presumably. Yeah, I think this is weird. It's very capitalist,
Speaker 1: just trying to get a little like I can see it,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe on my site, show me your vax
Speaker 1: card ten percent off. I do it. It's like I
Speaker 1: can see it as a desperate company ploy to like
Speaker 1: be of this moment in this thing we're all sharing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's to generate stories like we're doing right now. It's
Speaker 1: just fine. Yeah, I would love to go to a
Speaker 1: dispensary that gives me a joint because I'm vaccinated. That
Speaker 1: feels good. Yeah, cream, thank you. It's been a long
Speaker 1: year Israel. Meanwhile, there's you know, many of the people
Speaker 1: are already vaccinated. They're trying to get some of the
Speaker 1: younger people to get vaccinated with with some pop up
Speaker 1: vaccine centers that have free pizza, that have DJs that
Speaker 1: they've hired to create a festival atmosphere. They set up
Speaker 1: one clinic in a literal bar with the promise of
Speaker 1: free drinks to those who got vaccinated, but apparently they're
Speaker 1: non alcoholic drinks. But I feel like that comes with
Speaker 1: a heavy Why don't you come by the bar you
Speaker 1: can get vaccinated and then you're gonna vote for BB
Speaker 1: All right, that's what we're gonna do. I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: the DJs come by. It's gonna be it's gonna be
Speaker 1: lit everybody. You gotta come down, all the kids to
Speaker 1: tell Aviv. Meanwhile, you know they're so they're contriving gimmicks
Speaker 1: to get people vaccinated, but Palestinians have only received enough
Speaker 1: vaccines for just over four percent of the population, So
Speaker 1: that's yeah. I Meanwhile, the people in Congress will continue
Speaker 1: to debate what isn't apartheid state? Really though? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: don't even spell that. All right, let's move on to
Speaker 1: something else that want I don't know there's a thh
Speaker 1: in there. It's too much. What else can we get? Wait,
Speaker 1: it's not thighe. Oh no, let let's let's push that.
Speaker 1: Let's push that bill for another minute. Let's yeah, I
Speaker 1: can't deal with that right well. Speaking of things that
Speaker 1: remain legal and things that will be made illegal, Florida
Speaker 1: is moving forward with its Combating Violence, Disorder and Looting
Speaker 1: and Law Enforcement Protection Act mm hmm yep, they're they're
Speaker 1: you know, makes making it illegal to exercise your First
Speaker 1: Amendment rights by essentially saying like, um, let's protect the police.
Speaker 1: So that way anyone else that doesn't like it when
Speaker 1: poor people and allies get together to voice their displeasure,
Speaker 1: they can just do whatever the funk they want and
Speaker 1: make it mad illegal. Uh and yeah, this, this will
Speaker 1: just be great. This is how we combat any kind
Speaker 1: of progress. So the things that it's doing is essentially
Speaker 1: just makes it makes it a third degree felony when
Speaker 1: seven or more persons are involved in an assembly and
Speaker 1: cause damage to property or injury to other persons. That's
Speaker 1: just how the funk are you supposed to know anything
Speaker 1: about how a demonstration can go or bad faith people
Speaker 1: who are just doing on their own ship whatever it is.
Speaker 1: There's no way to know and to say, Okay, now
Speaker 1: we're gonna put give all these all these people with felonies.
Speaker 1: On top of that, I think one of the things
Speaker 1: that's been pointed out for the most is about that
Speaker 1: essentially makes it legal to drive through people or a
Speaker 1: crowd if you feel like you're fleeing for your own
Speaker 1: safety from a mob, making the driver not liable for
Speaker 1: any injury or death. Like it's the end on. And
Speaker 1: also you can hit people with rico charges if you
Speaker 1: organize or fund an assembly that goes disorderly or whatever.
Speaker 1: Their essentially saying, hey, we're here to completely dead this ship.
Speaker 1: So no matter what you have, the threat of a
Speaker 1: felony will take your fucking benefits from you and your
Speaker 1: kids because you went to a protest. Those are the
Speaker 1: threats now hanging over people. Kind of seems like we
Speaker 1: live in a failed state. Yeah, because now yeah, because well,
Speaker 1: I mean I think the second you're saying, uh, pointing
Speaker 1: out that things are bad is illegal. Oh oh that's
Speaker 1: what this ship they said. If you want to come
Speaker 1: out and say we don't like this ship, it's on.
Speaker 1: I mean. Also, like, given how demonstrations go, when they
Speaker 1: say if it gets virulent or disorderly, it's usually the
Speaker 1: police actually always the police that instigate kettle and do
Speaker 1: whatever the funk they gotta do to start turning shipped
Speaker 1: up to justify whatever their own escalation is. So this
Speaker 1: is like it's a they've just created a feedback loop
Speaker 1: to be like, yeah, man, this is if they're out
Speaker 1: there and y'all are out there, it's sucking on and
Speaker 1: they're all getting felonies, and it's just whatever happens, fucking
Speaker 1: happens because we've completely changed the law, and to take
Speaker 1: it to this point too, because it is a failed state,
Speaker 1: it is also it's just like the last step in
Speaker 1: trying to preserve this myth that is central to policing,
Speaker 1: which is that investment in armed protectors is going to
Speaker 1: create the kind of safety that people desire or need,
Speaker 1: rather than giving everyone the peace of mind of being
Speaker 1: materially supported and taking away the chaos of lack of
Speaker 1: needing of not being supported. That that is how you're
Speaker 1: going to create safety. Not we need more fucking goons. Man,
Speaker 1: that's the problem. Ship's gone out of control. It's gone.
Speaker 1: It's not gone out of control. Y'all have fucked up
Speaker 1: so bad. You've failed all these people, and you act
Speaker 1: why everybody is so upset because they don't have anything.
Speaker 1: So again, solving problems in America by just creating new
Speaker 1: ones and becoming a never ending revenue stream that gets
Speaker 1: just menial results. So is this like what, so is
Speaker 1: this gonna be enacted into law like immediately or how
Speaker 1: how does that work? I mean, I'm assuming it will
Speaker 1: eventually succeed. But yeah, I mean I'm pretty sure he
Speaker 1: it's gonna be sent to his desk to be signed,
Speaker 1: so it will be signed into law. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: people are like there's gonna be a lot of lawsuits
Speaker 1: and ship. But yeah, it's that you know, they control
Speaker 1: the Republicans control the Florida Senate and House, so boom
Speaker 1: boom one after the other. So I mean it's again
Speaker 1: there there seems to be this overall structure where the
Speaker 1: police are so petty and so fragile and if like
Speaker 1: somebody says something mean to them, they get to like
Speaker 1: start shooting at them with shooting projectiles at them that
Speaker 1: can crack their skull and ship. And like when you
Speaker 1: look at the number of police that uh shot and
Speaker 1: killed people, it was like close to a thousand. We
Speaker 1: look at the number of police that were shot and killed.
Speaker 1: There was like I found this on like a police
Speaker 1: news site and it was like forty five. Unacceptable. This
Speaker 1: is like ridiculous, like they and it's just there's this
Speaker 1: imbalance of like how they want things to be viewed
Speaker 1: that like all racists, they have a victim complex where
Speaker 1: they're like I'm the real victim in this situation. People
Speaker 1: calling me a racist is worse than me being one.
Speaker 1: And also the Democrats aren't doing shipped to stand up
Speaker 1: to the police either. That's the problem. Also there's no
Speaker 1: opposition party. The ones that are even like to the
Speaker 1: left of Democrats, they just get shushed out and they're
Speaker 1: just like, no, don't say that, Yeah we can't. We
Speaker 1: don't like that. Yeah, because policing is also just intertwined
Speaker 1: with the history of slavery in America. So talking about
Speaker 1: police is just it unearths a lot of stuff that
Speaker 1: you know, the propaganda machine prefer were not discussed being
Speaker 1: integral to the financial success of America, much like the
Speaker 1: Olympic Torch marathon. Pretty much, they're like, don't look too
Speaker 1: far back, why that started, Look at the Look at
Speaker 1: the coordinated ceremony of everybody marching in lockstap Yeah. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean again, this is just it's all we just
Speaker 1: run into the same fucking problems because capitalism won't allow
Speaker 1: for stability, because there's no money in that. And because
Speaker 1: of that, we have to come up with these ridiculous
Speaker 1: fake solutions that just cause more problems or just look
Speaker 1: different enough, they're like, oh, that's new, but you're just
Speaker 1: spending money on fucking robot dogs and what the funk
Speaker 1: you're doing? Just like with climate change, like rather than
Speaker 1: properly investing in the ship that we needed to reduce admissions,
Speaker 1: were more like, how what kind of technologies can we
Speaker 1: use to fucking fight the earth? What are we doing? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Just so backwards at every step, and and you know,
Speaker 1: you'd hope more and more people begin to see the
Speaker 1: absurdity of it, because on its face, it's so absurd,
Speaker 1: like there's nothing you can he that you're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is a line to the solution. So everything is
Speaker 1: so absurd. But it feels like descent just keeps being criminalized.
Speaker 1: So it's like, right, what are you supposed to do? Right?
Speaker 1: I mean, hope, I don't know. Do you know goddamn
Speaker 1: podcast here on independent media where we can say exactly
Speaker 1: the police, Yeah, at least say that here. I was
Speaker 1: just thinking of what you mentioned, the Olympic torch in
Speaker 1: the context of like profitability. I was just thinking back,
Speaker 1: like the one memorable moment from that was Muhammad Ali,
Speaker 1: like at the Atlanta Olympics, like running the final right
Speaker 1: stretch running the torch up to whoever like lit the
Speaker 1: arrow and fired it at the thing, or maybe he
Speaker 1: actually ran right up to the torch, but it's just
Speaker 1: funny to think about, Like that was when he entered
Speaker 1: his It's been long enough that his radicalism is like now,
Speaker 1: you see that. They do that with the Olympics a
Speaker 1: lot to or they bring in people that, you know,
Speaker 1: the athletes who did the black Power salute at the
Speaker 1: Mexico Olympics. You know, obviously the Olympics hated that at
Speaker 1: the time, and also there police murdered a bunch of
Speaker 1: students during that one. But yeah, it's like, if it's
Speaker 1: been long enough, then they try to co opt it
Speaker 1: into the commercialism. I feel like we also saw this
Speaker 1: in real time last year with the Black Lives Matter
Speaker 1: movement being like co opted by corporations but like with
Speaker 1: no material and vet none, with nothing, with just like
Speaker 1: a statement but no, you know, nothing, nothing behind it,
Speaker 1: and and trying to corporatize it in order to sort
Speaker 1: of neutralize it as an actual radical threat. That was
Speaker 1: wild to see happen so so fast, and also people
Speaker 1: being pissed at it and being like funk this, you know, Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and speaking of things that bite I
Speaker 1: don't know, quick bites, quick quick bites. Quimby is back.
Speaker 1: I'm just bringing this up because it's really about what
Speaker 1: Quimby cost and then what they just sold everything for.
Speaker 1: Because Roku, who makes like TV, you know Roku and
Speaker 1: all those little adapters makes and all that ship they
Speaker 1: bought all of the Quimby content and they're like sort
Speaker 1: of repurposing it as Roku originals and they're making their
Speaker 1: own like streaming content or whatever. But the reason I
Speaker 1: was like reading about it because this was this is
Speaker 1: announced batch back in January that wrote who might come
Speaker 1: through with it? Quimby cost one point seven five billion dollars.
Speaker 1: That's how much they put into production. That's that's what
Speaker 1: that's how much they raised. Quimby completed, launched, off the
Speaker 1: ground market and everything one point seven five billion dollars. Okay,
Speaker 1: and a couple of months the Wall Street Journal there's
Speaker 1: any things saying they sold it to Roku quote for
Speaker 1: significantly less than one hundred million dollars. So let's assume
Speaker 1: that's what sixty million trying to flip that hundu right,
Speaker 1: and now that's a loss for Quippy. I just loved that.
Speaker 1: I just love that ship. One point seven five? Man,
Speaker 1: will you pay fifty fruit? I don't know, man, please uh.
Speaker 1: I think that Quimby has an opportunity to come back
Speaker 1: because it was an app that was for the commuter
Speaker 1: and for people in the office sneaking and streaming at
Speaker 1: their desk. Commute and went away in office work went away,
Speaker 1: so you're dead. Then they had that stupid tech thing
Speaker 1: where you couldn't watch the ship on a laptop or
Speaker 1: a TV perfect and by the time they lifted that embargo,
Speaker 1: it was too late. My fuckers was on life support,
Speaker 1: so you know it was done. Deal vaccines flowing. What
Speaker 1: did Joe Biden say this week? Two hundred million got
Speaker 1: the shot or two d million shots? I don't you
Speaker 1: know what. Let me take that back. Maybe they might
Speaker 1: be padding the stats over there, because two hundred shots,
Speaker 1: it's technically a hundred because you get two shots. Are
Speaker 1: you got in both shots? Joe Biden? Anyway, my fucker's
Speaker 1: are going back outside again. So if people are going
Speaker 1: back outside again, then I think that there's a chance
Speaker 1: that quil be could come back. Also. The other thing
Speaker 1: that's happened in the same time, pretty much every streamer
Speaker 1: has raised their price or is planning to raise their price,
Speaker 1: and Quimby has enough star power. I don't only watch
Speaker 1: The only thing I watched on Quimby was Chrissy t
Speaker 1: Gets Courtroom Show, because you know, I kind of like her.
Speaker 1: She's cool. And then there was a movie they had,
Speaker 1: like a movie that was split up into like seven
Speaker 1: minute parts, and I was like, like I made it
Speaker 1: through thirty minutes of that and like that was it.
Speaker 1: Like I didn't really watch anything else over there. So
Speaker 1: I think they come back cheap, and they come back
Speaker 1: with the names, they have a chance. But I think
Speaker 1: that's the problem is they wasted all that money and
Speaker 1: they've sold all the I P so they I don't
Speaker 1: know what happens. Katz and Berg is gonna have to
Speaker 1: I don't know they can do another round of fundraising
Speaker 1: to try and get all that money going. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it was interesting cause I think the one thing that
Speaker 1: they did have was like the aspect ratio of and
Speaker 1: from vertical to horizontal and stuff, and that would give
Speaker 1: you new things. I think that was legitimately an interesting thing.
Speaker 1: But yeah, to your point, like, people also want to
Speaker 1: watch it on a computer or a TV or whatever,
Speaker 1: and when you have stars, you're used to seeing on
Speaker 1: that format. Alright, I rotate my phone. I can see
Speaker 1: more of the room that the actors are talking in.
Speaker 1: That to me was like, Okay, that's cool, but it
Speaker 1: still boils down to what's the story on the screen.
Speaker 1: But it rotates good. Yeah, I can see you around
Speaker 1: the corner. Now. Oh, it's a bigger conference room than
Speaker 1: I thought. That part was cool. But I root for
Speaker 1: it to do well because the board places there are
Speaker 1: for content, stories to be told about opportunities I have
Speaker 1: to get a check exactly. I've always been rooting for it.
Speaker 1: There's so many talented people who are getting paid. Who
Speaker 1: are you know, drinking up that one point seven billion?
Speaker 1: I just it is also such a perfect example of
Speaker 1: like executive overreach and just putting one idea and executive
Speaker 1: had before any of the many many things that you
Speaker 1: have to do to make something work. They're like, well,
Speaker 1: people people like short stuff, and then you know, meanwhile,
Speaker 1: YouTube is trending longer and longer, and Netflix like the
Speaker 1: thing people are addicted to is like streaming shows that
Speaker 1: like keep you glued to your TV until five in
Speaker 1: the morning. Like it was just I remember that. Like
Speaker 1: when the web, like when putting content online first started,
Speaker 1: people were like, it's got to be thirty seconds or
Speaker 1: less or else nobody's gonna watch it, and like they
Speaker 1: just stopped thinking about it at that point. They were like,
Speaker 1: all right, we gotta we gotta make it bite sized
Speaker 1: content for anybody to consume it in this fast paced world.
Speaker 1: And people are like, no, we want relief from this
Speaker 1: fast paced world. About Quimby and Netflix for that matter,
Speaker 1: a lot of the shows are written to deliberately cliffhang,
Speaker 1: so it's never supposed. Even the comedies like that are
Speaker 1: kind of serialized. They deliberately want you to hit the
Speaker 1: next episode, so you just fucking rat pushing the cocaine
Speaker 1: button in that cage. So it's like that's that's what
Speaker 1: they want. But Quimby is gonna need a flagship hit,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, and that, and that's difficult, especially
Speaker 1: at a time now where a lot of the sites
Speaker 1: are like they're just basically remixing existing I p like
Speaker 1: pretty much every streaming side, it's like, what do we
Speaker 1: have that we already own fuck it, you want to
Speaker 1: know what? Build on that for cheap and then start
Speaker 1: doing new ideas. So you know, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: if they're gonna come back, they're gonna need content. So
Speaker 1: if you're listening from Quimby, get at whoever, I would
Speaker 1: I would love to see real cool like just take
Speaker 1: off as like suddenly a really successful streaming platform that
Speaker 1: like is up there with Netflix and uh Quimby, like
Speaker 1: all the big gas executives who put stake their career
Speaker 1: on Quimby or just you know, yeah, somebody has to
Speaker 1: get fun. Yes, you get roy a check call it
Speaker 1: you know, branded as roy Coop. You know there you
Speaker 1: go right there. Let's go from really bad ideas to
Speaker 1: really bad ideas. Uh, this is called these are some
Speaker 1: frat sickles that Natty Light is creating. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys, tell me what you think. So
Speaker 1: natural Light has been like when I was in college,
Speaker 1: that was the beer of choice because it was like
Speaker 1: four dollars for a thirty pack and they were just
Speaker 1: like trying to give it away basically, and it tasted bad,
Speaker 1: but like not so bad that it didn't get you drunk.
Speaker 1: And since then they have apparently, uh had some meetings
Speaker 1: where they're like, what if we did like a fruity beer,
Speaker 1: the like taste of culture culture, your uncle's beer, it's
Speaker 1: your nanny, it's your nanny's beer. Now. I've also been
Speaker 1: on some r fps from the Light where they're like
Speaker 1: trying to like brand themselves in an ironic way. It's right,
Speaker 1: it's really weird. And they had some weird like PR
Speaker 1: campaigns like internships and things like that, but they're this
Speaker 1: all their Their first thing was like this natter Day's ship.
Speaker 1: There's like their fruity beer strawberry lemonade or pineapple Lemonade's like, okay, fine,
Speaker 1: whatever is. I guess it's popular enough. I've never had it.
Speaker 1: It definitely sounds like a better idea than those like
Speaker 1: sweet Tea truly seltzers, which I've had one of and
Speaker 1: immediately thought I was being poisoned. Um. And now they
Speaker 1: have turned this into an eight percent a v V popsicle,
Speaker 1: which sounds like, oh, dangerous development. I mean, I guess yeah.
Speaker 1: And anytime you make alcohol easy to consume, and anytime
Speaker 1: you make alcohol fun to consume, like stupid bendy straws
Speaker 1: or those long New Orleans hurricane cups that look like
Speaker 1: a fucking long as water air traffic control tower. The
Speaker 1: long necks. You're you're gonna get into some trouble. Like
Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna get into some trouble yum. Like
Speaker 1: I mean like there was for Local before, and for
Speaker 1: Local got everybody off the crazy colors. But you know,
Speaker 1: like I came up with like mad Dog and all
Speaker 1: of that ship and all of that like this, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like, oh, it's just fruity or it's sane
Speaker 1: eyes the little fruity cooler cocktail joints or whatever if
Speaker 1: naughty light like PBRs more refined cousin that like finished
Speaker 1: community college and it's like, you know, well respected beer
Speaker 1: but also a beer that exudes shot shot shot shot
Speaker 1: shots right, Yes, yeah, yeah, I would, I would. I
Speaker 1: don't know that it finished community college necessarily, but it definitely. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it definitely told their parents that they went they were
Speaker 1: going to and I didn't tell their parents. They were
Speaker 1: just sleeping in the car of a grocery store near
Speaker 1: the campus during class and then we'll drive back and
Speaker 1: say class was good. Yeah, yeah, And PBR told him
Speaker 1: so and said you should have never lied just what
Speaker 1: these are made like that they might have had a
Speaker 1: like excess packaging at the uh at the popsicle factory,
Speaker 1: Like these look exactly like things that my three year
Speaker 1: old and four year old would be so hyped to
Speaker 1: get their hands on. Oh yeah, this is right. If
Speaker 1: the candy cigarettes exactly how cigarettes still gave you cancer?
Speaker 1: What's the over under on stories where a bunch of
Speaker 1: kids have found their kids Saturday, their parents Saturday's popsicles,
Speaker 1: and God just bent out of shape off of them,
Speaker 1: Like I don't. I feel like it's very quick because
Speaker 1: I when looking at it, I had to look very
Speaker 1: closely to be like, where does it say this is alcohol,
Speaker 1: like when you look at the red the packaging. But yeah,
Speaker 1: like you said, really making it easier to consume. I
Speaker 1: think it's like this because now we're going back to
Speaker 1: childhood where the popsicle is like, yes, I got a popsicle.
Speaker 1: Now we're adding alcohol to that experience. I don't know
Speaker 1: if there's another level that will inspire more childlike excitement
Speaker 1: than the popsicle. They look like the squeezable yogurt tubes
Speaker 1: I give yeah, right, yeah, yeah, this ship looks like gogurt.
Speaker 1: I don't want him having some natty light sending him
Speaker 1: out the door to four year old pre K's Like,
Speaker 1: would we found some of your child's lunch box? Uh?
Speaker 1: Just filled to the brim with natter day's Wait what
Speaker 1: let's go? Yeah? Also like people aren't gonna actually freezy
Speaker 1: I mean, like responsible people will freez these, but this
Speaker 1: just gives you a faster way to drink Naturday's I'm assuming,
Speaker 1: and get drunk off Saturday's. Yeah, I mean I don't
Speaker 1: really you know how cool you look pulling one of
Speaker 1: these out of the cool meat on the drilling meat.
Speaker 1: Who wants a popsicle? But crap brothers sucking on popsicles
Speaker 1: is a funny image to me. Just replace all these
Speaker 1: party scenes, which is frap boys eat these popsicles and
Speaker 1: ship popsicle doing the linking arms thing, but just sucking
Speaker 1: on a popsicle for like, sit on them and put
Speaker 1: them up. There would be some sort of ash shot
Speaker 1: remix with the pot like whatever the beer funnel? What
Speaker 1: was that when people were dying a couple of years
Speaker 1: go from chugging, yeah, but chugging, this will be the chugging, right,
Speaker 1: It's just make a frozen but plug like by like
Speaker 1: melting together like fifty of them things and like can
Speaker 1: you handle the mega plug of natur days? Like, oh
Speaker 1: my god in a freezing that's the point, bro, Maybe
Speaker 1: this will being bring back bros Ice and bros. Though,
Speaker 1: which is you know, just giving someone You should add
