Speaker 1: so I don't know. Yeah, they're kind of going there.
Speaker 1: They're doing a lot of overhaul over there because they

Speaker 1: their videos because they're now like rightfully, so they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're no longer letting you just upload some ship that's
Speaker 1: fucking because we don't know who made it and through
Speaker 1: the consent of the performers or anything. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: switch to verified uploaders now and then like what happened
Speaker 1: all the videos? Like yeah, well you know that they're
Speaker 1: they're they're doing the bare minimum of being like, well
Speaker 1: you'll be happy people agency. You'll be happy to know
Speaker 1: that that was in my rider. Yeah, it wasn't because
Speaker 1: Visa and Matched or Card refused to stop processing payments
Speaker 1: on their website. We got us a master card. Also,
Speaker 1: where's MX and all this their pro Uh pull ease. Um. Anyways, Nick,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to know you and your new alter
Speaker 1: ego a little bit better at a moment. Uh. First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell I listening to a couple of things
Speaker 1: we're talking about. We're gonna check in with this uh
Speaker 1: wild story of a former police captain who was arrested
Speaker 1: in Houston, uh, trying to uncover the the large scale
Speaker 1: heist of the election. Um, we'll talk about a plan
Speaker 1: from Senator Angus King that's not really a plan, but
Speaker 1: just an idea that we're all on board with. We're
Speaker 1: gonna look at the connection between the stop the steel
Speaker 1: and the anti vax. The vaccine has computer chips in it,
Speaker 1: movements surprisingly close to one another. Uh. We got to
Speaker 1: hear Tom cruise Tom lose it. Uh, So we're gonna
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a listen to that. We're gonna check
Speaker 1: in with the celebrity theory that anybody who is famous
Speaker 1: before the year two thousand two is hopelessly lost in
Speaker 1: our modern world Christopher walk In edition. Uh. And we'll
Speaker 1: check in with loneliness if we have time. If we
Speaker 1: have time, that sounds so fun. Up, we'll check and
Speaker 1: talk about if we get to I don't know, I
Speaker 1: got a lot going. It turns out our loneliness is
Speaker 1: killing us. Yeah. Yeah, But first before we get to
Speaker 1: any of that, uh, Mr Colm, we like to ask
Speaker 1: our guest, what is something from your search history that
Speaker 1: is revealing about who you are, what you're up to,
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Um. Everything I've been googling lately is
Speaker 1: about making T shirts? Okay, Um, I've started a T
Speaker 1: shirt business in my home against my will. I fought it.
Speaker 1: It happened to me, it could happen to the best
Speaker 1: of us. Were doing an episode. We did two episodes
Speaker 1: for Get Rich nick Um about making T shirts for profit.
Speaker 1: And so I was expecting to open a wonderful te
Speaker 1: public store. And then I was bullied by my guests
Speaker 1: and by my co co host Nick Badarat into getting
Speaker 1: all the equipment. Batarat was doing it. He was like,
Speaker 1: I'm getting all the equipment. We spent so much money. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then he's like Google, He's got YouTube videos and
Speaker 1: he's like, I know what I'm doing. And then what
Speaker 1: he did do was get paint on every single thing
Speaker 1: in his house and then went home for Christmas. So
Speaker 1: but we got orders for shirts and we gotta make
Speaker 1: so he dropped all the equipment over at my house
Speaker 1: before he left for like a month, and so now
Speaker 1: I'm just knee deep in it. I didn't want to
Speaker 1: be in it. I really I resent it, but that's
Speaker 1: all I do. Now, what is the screen printing? Yeah, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: doing some screen printing. Yes, how many color screens are
Speaker 1: we talking here? One on screen? So even yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, because when you want to get
Speaker 1: in this this the teammaking game, you know, that's when
Speaker 1: the finesse moves come in with how many colors are using?
Speaker 1: But yeah, I get the first time I ever tried
Speaker 1: to screen prin like this is fucked up. And shout
Speaker 1: out to like the crafty people who who like like
Speaker 1: doing this, because for the same reason I was, like,
Speaker 1: paints everywhere, And I guess my weird skate brand that
Speaker 1: I thought up at of thought one years old isn't
Speaker 1: going to take off. So what was it. What was
Speaker 1: it called? Oh? First, well, first I was making Laker
Speaker 1: merchandise that said purple rain on it that was like
Speaker 1: purple rain text. But r E I g N because
Speaker 1: this was right when we were getting into our second
Speaker 1: back to back era, and I was like, I tried
Speaker 1: to do what. I was trying to figure out how
Speaker 1: to do that ship on my own. And then I
Speaker 1: was like my friend who's like was working in costuming,
Speaker 1: was like, there's a company like I can you can
Speaker 1: use my like a business account. If you just bring
Speaker 1: them like fifty shirts, they'll do it. It's better than screening.
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna do that.
Speaker 1: And then I tried selling them ships and everybody I was,
Speaker 1: I was on the receiving and all kinds of insults
Speaker 1: outside Staples Center when I was selling my T shirts
Speaker 1: for that playoff run all kinds know you're out there
Speaker 1: with the oh yeah, oh yeah. I was hustling my
Speaker 1: boot like T shirts outside the staple like with the
Speaker 1: people the bacon wrapped sausage. Yes, I was out there,
Speaker 1: you know, because I was on my entrepreneur vibe and
Speaker 1: a couple of my friends, you know, we were all
Speaker 1: Laker fans, They're like, yeah, let's do this ship a
Speaker 1: purple rate and people were like, yo, that's fucking gay
Speaker 1: full like so I remember people like what I was
Speaker 1: like because it doesn't say Lakers and like, what the
Speaker 1: fund is purple rain? Well, the people were cursing at me.
Speaker 1: It was all kinds of ship. It was like, only
Speaker 1: very like the shitty Laker fans who were very like
Speaker 1: wealthy people were like, oh I love that, which is it?
Speaker 1: Then to steel and I'm like, damn, like I was
Speaker 1: trying to connect with the fucking real but yeah, all
Speaker 1: right for you. They're fifty apiece because they're limited edition.
Speaker 1: But I'll get you legal to sell stuff if it
Speaker 1: doesn't have like a Lakers slogo on it, is it illegal?
Speaker 1: Is it more legal? Well, well, I'm not infringing on
Speaker 1: anyone's copyright at that point, but is it legal? The
Speaker 1: people can funk with you for sure, like if you're
Speaker 1: selling bootleg stuff, like cops can come at you. But
Speaker 1: I mean, if it's it's not that or at least
Speaker 1: in my experience, it was never that bad or can
Speaker 1: clearly based on the amount of people who do sell
Speaker 1: you know, like bootleg merch outside of concerts and stuff,
Speaker 1: it's still still a thing. Yeah yeah, well maybe one day. Also,
Speaker 1: bootleg merch is the only merch worth buying if you
Speaker 1: ever go to a show, because it's like so aggressive,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's its own aesthetic. And I think those
Speaker 1: are more fun than the ones you pay over paid for,
Speaker 1: like out of venue, except that daily like guy shows
Speaker 1: where we offer great merch at a great price. No
Speaker 1: one's bootleg and that guy Smitch outside your shows. I
Speaker 1: mean I bootlegged and then Jack gets mad at me
Speaker 1: because I'm not. Kind of that's a funny idea if
Speaker 1: I could bootleg, if I could like make a bootleg
Speaker 1: T shirt for like different like if I get invited
Speaker 1: to a live podcast, I make my own and I
Speaker 1: sell it at the show. New idea, Keep these ideas low, man,
Speaker 1: You could be coming at the gates or like the
Speaker 1: fucking amazing uh performances on these live shows. What is
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated? Oh? Sorry, real quick, I
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you what's your top seller? What top
Speaker 1: selling T shirt in your new Oh it's just it's
Speaker 1: our logo. T we only offered to one was a
Speaker 1: shirt that says will work for food, rent, utilities, transportation,
Speaker 1: insurance anyway. And uh, but but no, it's the the
Speaker 1: logo shirt. That's that's all anybody wants. Yeah, they're not,
Speaker 1: you know, because I'm not selling to like just Randos.
Speaker 1: I'm just selling the people who listen to my podcasts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's something you think is underrated? Underrated? Is uh? Nug Club.
Speaker 1: I was talking about this yesterday, decades the most wonderful
Speaker 1: below deck review podcast. Um and uh Anna also is
Speaker 1: a member and our guest this week Lydia Papovich is
Speaker 1: also a member of nut Club. Nut Club is a
Speaker 1: monthly subscription service that I am not getting paid to
Speaker 1: say this. Uh it's a monthly Yeah, okay for we
Speaker 1: that's ready for weed? Uh and um it's the most
Speaker 1: incredible thing in my life. I haven't gone to the
Speaker 1: store since I started getting these boxes. And it's the
Speaker 1: cheapest way to get weed and it just comes to
Speaker 1: your fucking house. And then last weekend they held um
Speaker 1: like drive in movies in Malibu. I went and saw
Speaker 1: Super Bad. Yeah, just for free, just like for their members. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like um, bud tell you because I got
Speaker 1: about it. And on that with my invite code, and
Speaker 1: I'd still just get the love for the for the
Speaker 1: drive in what can we hear me on? It spun
Speaker 1: and I said that, um, she used my code, but
Speaker 1: she took I have to I'll have to look at
Speaker 1: my account and see if I got that credit. That's
Speaker 1: the only way to know. No. No, I I used
Speaker 1: next Cote and Zach also used smiles. Look, guys, we're scamming.
Speaker 1: Cut this out on trial right now. No, anyway, it
Speaker 1: was just it was so funny. It's so funny the
Speaker 1: invite code though. The invite code energy like when you
Speaker 1: know when you have something that was like, yo, use
Speaker 1: my code though, like when the early days of any
Speaker 1: like thing, We're like, yo, I get twenty though. If
Speaker 1: you use that ship, it's the same ship with nug
Speaker 1: Club too. You're like to use my shape because if
Speaker 1: I get three more and I'm gonna get my next
Speaker 1: box for one dollar. But it's funny because y'all you're
Speaker 1: always gonna be like because you get twenty two if
Speaker 1: you use my code. It's like I could use any code.
Speaker 1: I could go to the code. It doesn't like why
Speaker 1: you why you though come to people? Why don't you
Speaker 1: pitch your code to me and I'll use it. So anyway,
Speaker 1: DM me and Miles and we'll see who gets more.
Speaker 1: Um was the screening a veritable nug Club of a
Speaker 1: fellow fellow clubbers? Uh say that again? Like was the screening?
Speaker 1: Was it packed with other people from the nug Club that? Uh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well it was specific to the nug Club, it was.
Speaker 1: It was done at this like venue. It's like big,
Speaker 1: like it looks like a big wedding venue. And I
Speaker 1: don't know. They had like two different drive in areas
Speaker 1: that they've made I think like since um, since Corona,
Speaker 1: just like in their parking lots. Um. But it was
Speaker 1: just it was exclusive, was invite only. I guess not
Speaker 1: everyone even got the invite. Miles checkerspan forward, but they Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was packed, I mean yeah, and they did this
Speaker 1: really justesting thing, which I've never seen before, but I
Speaker 1: thought was really smart because it was free for the members,
Speaker 1: but they made you pay twenty dollars per car and
Speaker 1: then just so you would show up and if you
Speaker 1: show up, they give you the money back. You don't
Speaker 1: show up because otherwise they everyone will just be like yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll go maybe, oh that's interesting. Man really left me out.
Speaker 1: You know what fun? No club? Now you want to
Speaker 1: invite me to your that It is always interesting when
Speaker 1: something that is I don't know, like every every online
Speaker 1: community or online service tries to do this where they're
Speaker 1: like come to the dominoes like gala event or like
Speaker 1: we work. I remember when we were when we started
Speaker 1: this podcast out of a wee work. They were like,
Speaker 1: you have a lifestyle brand than anything, um and like
Speaker 1: they were trying to like get you to like go
Speaker 1: to we work parties. Club sounds like they know what
Speaker 1: they're doing. Yeah, it's cool, yeah, but I don't know,
Speaker 1: like I think most owners like I don't know, Like
Speaker 1: I'm really high. You want me to drive the Malibu
Speaker 1: right now, and I'm gonna drive back. They'd be better
Speaker 1: off being like, yo, here's your like free Hbo Plus
Speaker 1: or whatever streaming thing for the weekend. You know, no
Speaker 1: club got you be baby, Well here is the beautiful
Speaker 1: thing it was at and so afterwards there's nothing to do,
Speaker 1: get some food. Just yeah, I gotta go anywhere smart.
Speaker 1: What is something you think is overrated? Billionaires donating money?
Speaker 1: I think they get so much credit and nobody ever
Speaker 1: donates more than they have, Like increased their wealth. I
Speaker 1: just saw that UM story today about Mackenzie what's her face? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so she had given six billion dollars this year to charity.
Speaker 1: They're like, isn't this incredible? And in Forbes she was
Speaker 1: listed in July as UM having thirty billion dollars, and
Speaker 1: then in September this is this year. In September she
Speaker 1: had sixty sixty eight billion dollars UM and then so
Speaker 1: she gave away four billion in that time. It's like,
Speaker 1: thank you. And she said her goal was to give
Speaker 1: away half of her money, which is hilarious for a
Speaker 1: person with sixty eight billion dollars to say that she
Speaker 1: only wants to give away half of it. And also,
Speaker 1: how can you say that and then give away such
Speaker 1: a smaller percentage of what you made, half of what
Speaker 1: half of your future earnings. It's just money, Nick, you
Speaker 1: got four billion dollars laying around, That's what I thought.
Speaker 1: So it is a lot of money. And she does
Speaker 1: this for literally no work. She owns four percent of
Speaker 1: Amazon and just that she gets in this time, she's
Speaker 1: gotten a billion dollars every three days. I mean she
Speaker 1: I would say she probably did it for more work
Speaker 1: in terms of more work than Jeff Bezos because she
Speaker 1: had to be married to that motherfucker for that many years.
Speaker 1: But uh, I do like these are I don't know, yes,
Speaker 1: totally certain point, You're kind of like, let me look
Speaker 1: at that flock man. If I run this out a
Speaker 1: few more years, I can get half this bit. Literally
Speaker 1: everyone else in the world didn't marry him, so I'm
Speaker 1: not we all managed to do that. But the two
Speaker 1: things that they love doing is getting credit for giving
Speaker 1: away their money and sheltering the funk out of their
Speaker 1: money from from the government from any like having to
Speaker 1: pay taxes, which is where it should actually be going, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the government will gladly take half of your money. They
Speaker 1: take half of a lot of people's money. Uh, and
Speaker 1: who can't afford to fucking like put it in a
Speaker 1: tax shelter, off off of offshore or whatever. Um, it's
Speaker 1: what's the very least I wanna. Um, I submit to
Speaker 1: the Zeke gang. Let's uh, let's let's stop using Amazon.
Speaker 1: Boycott Amazon. Nick Turner said it, and when they kill me,
Speaker 1: look back to this episode of TDZ. Amazon is really
Speaker 1: the worst. It's bad. I've i've I started boycotting last
Speaker 1: year and it's incredibly difficult. Yeah, I think that's probably
Speaker 1: boycotting this year and having to pay like thirty dollar
Speaker 1: shipping on something. Um. But you know what, I probably
Speaker 1: stopped doing audible ads to then now audible. On the
Speaker 1: other hand, Yeah, I love the Washington Post to look. No,
Speaker 1: it's not all terrible, right, all right, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back. And we're bad.
Speaker 1: And a story that was kind of unimaginable probably even
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, is is now. Uh. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Hopefully this isn't the new normal. But there
Speaker 1: is a former police captain who deputed was deputest was
Speaker 1: funded with a quarter million dollars to try to track
Speaker 1: down the imaginary scheme that stole the election from Trump
Speaker 1: is basically but this man is a fucking patriot than
Speaker 1: you doing round the clock surveillance on the Kingpin, mastermind
Speaker 1: of a seven hundred fifty thousand fake absentee ballot scheme. Okay,
Speaker 1: And he tried to fucking tell everyone. This man's like Mark,
Speaker 1: Mark Anthony and Geary. He was he's like sixty three.
Speaker 1: He was watching this person who he believed with others
Speaker 1: in this group of Patriots to figure out if this
Speaker 1: was the kingpin of this fake ballot scheme. They one
Speaker 1: day this man leaves for work like Gary, follows him
Speaker 1: like crashes into his car to force the guy to
Speaker 1: pull over. When the man comes out, pulls a fucking
Speaker 1: gun out and holds him at gunpoint, gets him on
Speaker 1: the ground, puts a knee to his back, and while
Speaker 1: some other goons hopped out, take the guy's work van
Speaker 1: and take off with it. When the cops come, all
Speaker 1: to find out this guy is just a air conditioning
Speaker 1: repair technician, nothing more. He is just a man who
Speaker 1: lived in a like a like a mobile home park
Speaker 1: or something where this guy was tailing him. And they
Speaker 1: decided this was the guy who had a bunch of
Speaker 1: ballots in his van, which is why they tried to
Speaker 1: get him when he was in his work van, only
Speaker 1: to find the normal things that a fucking a c
Speaker 1: repair tech would have in their van. And when the
Speaker 1: cops came, they were like, Yo, what the fuck are
Speaker 1: you doing? And the this guy a Geary told the
Speaker 1: officer that arrives like, look, man, you can be on
Speaker 1: the right side of history of the wrong side, man,
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you this guy's blah blah blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: and they're like, okay, sir, like you're under arrest, Like
Speaker 1: what the funk is this? This is like false imprisonment,
Speaker 1: like all kinds of ship you're coming with us? And
Speaker 1: the thing that you're talking about Jack the quarter million dollars. Yes,
Speaker 1: this guy was fucking funded to do this work, to
Speaker 1: the tune of over two hundred sixty thousand dollars. He
Speaker 1: got a two hundred eleven thousand dollar payment the day
Speaker 1: after this confrontation took place, just directly wired into his
Speaker 1: kind of like what the Everyone's like, what the fund
Speaker 1: is this money? Uh? It turns out he's saying, I'm
Speaker 1: working for the Liberty Center. Uh, and this is a
Speaker 1: thing that's funded by this guy, Steve Hoates, who was
Speaker 1: a huge mega donor to the GOP, and he was
Speaker 1: basically you know how before the election we were talking
Speaker 1: about how they were a hundred and twenty seven thousand
Speaker 1: ballots in Harris County that were like the Republicans are
Speaker 1: trying to sue to get invalidated because they have this
Speaker 1: drive through vote center. He was he was funding that
Speaker 1: legal battle, amongst many others. He was going all out
Speaker 1: to try and you know, funck the election up and
Speaker 1: also find evidence of fraud. This was his big thing.
Speaker 1: The Liberty Centers Facebook group was all about We're gonna
Speaker 1: find this fraud. They were asking people on their website
Speaker 1: being like, yo, please give us money. We have all
Speaker 1: these investigations going. They cost like two hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 1: a very specific number per investigation. We need this money
Speaker 1: and this is where we're at. And you know, apparently
Speaker 1: this man a Geary was telling law enforcement at every level.
Speaker 1: He asked the attorney general of the state, he like,
Speaker 1: the heads of police departments, the Texas Rangers, saying, this
Speaker 1: guy's got ballance. Man, I'm watching them. You gotta help
Speaker 1: me out with this. And they're all like, please stop
Speaker 1: calling here, Like you can't just call in a fake
Speaker 1: crime and expect us to fucking go do something about it.
Speaker 1: And he was pleading with them, which kind of brings
Speaker 1: me to an interesting point, which is what happens when
Speaker 1: you if you're in law enforcement and someone is so
Speaker 1: insistent that a crime is occurring and them saying that
Speaker 1: they are also investigating, Like, at what point is their
Speaker 1: responsibility to try and figure out? Wait, hold on, are
Speaker 1: you just gonna harass somebody who's not doing a fucking
Speaker 1: thing because you're hopped up on like Newsmax and o
Speaker 1: A N conspiracy bullshit. So yes, that is a weird thing,
Speaker 1: and I hope this is not the new normal, but
Speaker 1: it feels like some ship as we get closer to
Speaker 1: January twenty if and these people like on the full
Speaker 1: Trump Mago World train are like, oh man, he's really
Speaker 1: gonna pull a switcher ru on him on January nineteenth,
Speaker 1: Like come on, bro, Dad went to get cigarettes and
Speaker 1: is not coming back. It's it's truly wild how much
Speaker 1: just you know, Republican donors are able to manipulate the
Speaker 1: reality of of people who are in the thrall of
Speaker 1: of that party like that. This reminds me, for some
Speaker 1: reason of the whole Tea Party movement and just uh,
Speaker 1: you know, five ten years on reading what was actually
Speaker 1: going on with the Tea Party movement being you know,
Speaker 1: billionaires funding the whole thing and like doing grassroots organizing
Speaker 1: to get these people to do their bidding. It's also
Speaker 1: this is the charities that they are donating to. This
Speaker 1: is when they say I didn't know donated five billion dollars.
Speaker 1: It's to que and to Liberty, the Liberty Center. Yeah,
Speaker 1: liberty has had such a bad run, just like from
Speaker 1: a PR perspective, the word liberty. Yeah fuck, I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: ever since Rebecca Lobo left, I mean, the Liberty ain't
Speaker 1: been right. I know, um, but yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: you know where this goes, how this evolves. But it's
Speaker 1: truly like this weird, Like you know, these mega donors
Speaker 1: they get off on just being like I think I
Speaker 1: can get a bunch of like poor useful stooges to
Speaker 1: like so chaos and I can kind of be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: watch me do that ship with money or other people's money,
Speaker 1: rather than like substantively trying to actually like winning election,
Speaker 1: like you know, get more people out there to try
Speaker 1: and do some you know, door knocking or whatever. It's like, na, na,
Speaker 1: I'm going to get a guy who is a cop
Speaker 1: to basically act like a fucking Steven Seagal character and
Speaker 1: maybe he'll manufacture some evidence of fraud and I don't care,
Speaker 1: but fuck it, Like, let's just do that. That's fun.
Speaker 1: Well I can do that with my money. America just
Speaker 1: needs the very the slightest stuff pushes to become violent
Speaker 1: like you know, um right wing idealized like that, that's
Speaker 1: you're just helping them do what they already want to
Speaker 1: do in this and a lot of experts are saying
Speaker 1: this whole rejection of the election results is basically like
Speaker 1: they're just saying, oh, this is what they're doing, is
Speaker 1: they're accelerating radicalization of the party by doing that. It's
Speaker 1: not just like oh wow, they're they're not giving up,
Speaker 1: like no, no, no, Like even whether or not they
Speaker 1: know it or if it's intentionals, like the fact that
Speaker 1: the party line is now saying we're against reality is
Speaker 1: that one of the you know, it's a huge step
Speaker 1: towards fully radicalizing everything. And it's not like trump Ism.
Speaker 1: It's more just like GOP is just going to like
Speaker 1: mask off with it, because the Trump is Um narrative
Speaker 1: is kind of like more than like I think he
Speaker 1: was just the dude at the concert, the first dude
Speaker 1: at the concert to smoke a blunt inside when the
Speaker 1: security is like a no smoking inside and everyone's like, oh,
Speaker 1: we can smoke in here, okay, yeah, because I was
Speaker 1: on that ship anyway too. That's basically what's happened, not
Speaker 1: that Trump is anything new. It's just like he's just
Speaker 1: he's sparked up if before everybody else did, and everybody
Speaker 1: else knew what time it was, Yeah, it was remarkable
Speaker 1: way after Even after Mitch McConnell acknowledged Biden as president elect,
Speaker 1: there's still two and congressmen, uh, congress people, excuse me,
Speaker 1: Republican who have yet to acknowledge it. Um. And I
Speaker 1: just wonder what would people be doing if there wasn't
Speaker 1: like just these people whose lives are spent doing Q
Speaker 1: and on Proud Boy bullshit, like what if that was
Speaker 1: not there and no one had tricked them and going
Speaker 1: up to a fun party once where it turned into
Speaker 1: ruin their lives, Like, uh, it's just such a fucking
Speaker 1: waste of time and energy and lives, Like it's just
Speaker 1: a waste of lives, a ruiner of family relationships. And yeah,
Speaker 1: when you're so much unseen damage being done, it's hard.
Speaker 1: I get it just as a sports fan, right, like
Speaker 1: one of my team's arsenal is fucking up right now.
Speaker 1: They are comically bad, but like, rather than read the
Speaker 1: posts that are like analyzing why it's so bad, even
Speaker 1: though their objective analyzes of like what's going wrong. I'd
Speaker 1: rather read the article where the staff at the club
Speaker 1: are saying, yeah, we're actually we're we expected all of
Speaker 1: this turbulence right now and it's all part of the
Speaker 1: plan because you've gotta we gotta get through this to
Speaker 1: reach the next evolution. Like it's it's like an equivalent
Speaker 1: where it's like I don't want the objective or like
Speaker 1: just make me feel good or like less bad about
Speaker 1: the thing that I'm so attached to being bullshit or
Speaker 1: at least on some like very humanistic you know, like
Speaker 1: that's just our need to never feel like we're fully
Speaker 1: losing or you know, because we we have this like
Speaker 1: sort of binary of winning or losing in our minds,
Speaker 1: especially with politics, that it just turns into this thing
Speaker 1: was like whin fucking losing? So if I'm not losing,
Speaker 1: then I'm choosing to follow que that that kind of
Speaker 1: brings us to a related story, related trend we're seeing
Speaker 1: where um, the same people who are pushing all the
Speaker 1: stop the steel bullshit are now pushing anti vax bullshit.
Speaker 1: Like it's basically just been a clean transition for Sydney
Speaker 1: pal For instance, the Rosemary's Baby lady who was on
Speaker 1: Trump's staff and then got thrown under the bus because
Speaker 1: she was saying things that have been widely debunked, like
Speaker 1: more than Giuliani was and no Trump had won the election, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: even more so. I actually fail to see the distinction
Speaker 1: at this much distance. It's like weeks on, I don't
Speaker 1: really Yeah, but uh, it is interesting that they have that.
Speaker 1: It's the same people, it's the same energy, and it's
Speaker 1: just transparently deadly. I guess, yeah, well, I think you
Speaker 1: know this is all part of the same, Like it
Speaker 1: makes sense because Vac's questioning is sort of normal for
Speaker 1: Trump world. Um, but yeah, like with a lot of
Speaker 1: these people who are just going all in on stop
Speaker 1: the steel, it's just funny because you're like, okay, so
Speaker 1: that that road has sort of just ended, so you
Speaker 1: gotta pivot to something because you have to stay relevant
Speaker 1: and and so the things that the same people, whether
Speaker 1: it's Um, Sydney Powell or Marjorie Green whatever, the Q
Speaker 1: and on woman from Georgia who's about to enter the
Speaker 1: House of Representatives is Um and many other like huge
Speaker 1: maga like stars. They're all pivoting to this like vaccine,
Speaker 1: Like what what's going on with it, And the top
Speaker 1: things that they're talking about is vaccines are delivered with
Speaker 1: a microchip or bar code to keep track of people.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means, Like, have you if
Speaker 1: anyone who knows anyone who's even passed a kidney stone?
Speaker 1: I don't know how you're gonna put a fucking microchip
Speaker 1: through an injection, uh and be like yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 1: didn't even know right that there's a fucking piece of mike.
Speaker 1: What the fuck are smaller than you're thinking? Yet? I
Speaker 1: think the technology exists. I wouldn't. I wouldn't put it past.
Speaker 1: But that's a subdermal thing that you know, like it's
Speaker 1: going in. It's not like you'd be like, Yo, what's
Speaker 1: this thing under my skin? I can't what's this bump?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, but but it's meant
Speaker 1: to be so much more insidious than that, um. Other
Speaker 1: than that, they've been talking about you know, more Bill
Speaker 1: Gates stuff and how like he's also you know, responsible
Speaker 1: for the coronavirus and because this is part of like
Speaker 1: the you know, communist Chinese plan to divide America and
Speaker 1: break it down. And the other big thing is talking
Speaker 1: about how uh there will be like vaccination cards, like
Speaker 1: who will be vaccinated and who won't. But that's just
Speaker 1: because someone there was like a healthcare expert on CNN
Speaker 1: who had mentioned that, like if you get vaccinated, like
Speaker 1: they'll give you an appointment card that showed that you
Speaker 1: had gone to get a vaccination. Nothing more, nothing less,
Speaker 1: just to be like, yeah, you did it, not to
Speaker 1: say like, hey, where's your vaccination patch before you can
Speaker 1: pass through this gate? Like but but I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't understand why that would be a problem to require
Speaker 1: people to have been vaccinated to do certain things, because
Speaker 1: otherwise you know that that works with uh yeah, but
Speaker 1: they made Jews wear stars in the Holocaust, so yeah,
Speaker 1: I get why the I get why the optics are bad.
Speaker 1: But even in a in a conversation like because I
Speaker 1: I look at our conservative and like all the other
Speaker 1: weird ship that's available to me online, because I need
Speaker 1: to know what they like, what they're sipping on in
Speaker 1: these places. And it really is like the discourse just
Speaker 1: ends at being like mentioning the Holocaust and then it's
Speaker 1: like accepted. It's never like no one goes or anyone
Speaker 1: who does question. They just say, hey, go to our
Speaker 1: politics for your fucking leftist safe space or whatever. But
Speaker 1: like it's the one is ever saying well, yeah, if
Speaker 1: we were that, you should have that. So you know
Speaker 1: who's safe or who isn't or what that means. It's
Speaker 1: just immediately let's cosplay into oppressed people because that's all
Speaker 1: of these things about. So with with the stop the steel,
Speaker 1: I understand what's at stake for all the people, For
Speaker 1: the Sydney Pals, they're trying. They're on on the side
Speaker 1: of somebody who's trying to become the most powerful person
Speaker 1: in the Western world or remain the most powerful person
Speaker 1: in the Western world. But what other than maintaining their
Speaker 1: audience do they get out of, like claiming that vaccines
Speaker 1: are going to microchip them? Is it just is it
Speaker 1: just sort of that onto the next thing that is
Speaker 1: going to keep people entertained. Because these accounts like Sydney
Speaker 1: Pal Owls and all these other like hot take artists
Speaker 1: on their right, they need to be like the ones
Speaker 1: breaking these dumb stories or misinformation takes like that's how
Speaker 1: they keep their followers up and they can leverage that
Speaker 1: into begging for money or you know going to some
Speaker 1: other you know dark money donor and being like, you know,
Speaker 1: I can, I can get this message out or whatever,
Speaker 1: like there's just a whole market to be notable online
Speaker 1: right now, but there's aren't. There aren't many direct like oh,
Speaker 1: you can turn that into a herbal life sponsorship. It's
Speaker 1: not like being on the Bachelor or something like that.
Speaker 1: But it's about this. You have to stay relevant because
Speaker 1: that keeps you elevated in this world. And if you've
Speaker 1: been you know, just you know, ringing the bell of
Speaker 1: you know, stop the steal, and now that isn't hitting anymore.
Speaker 1: You have to figure out what's gonna work because these
Speaker 1: people are guided by metrics like anybody else, and there
Speaker 1: there's analysis about like why this shift is happening specifically,
Speaker 1: like election misinformation, it peaked on November four, It peaked
Speaker 1: on the day after the like that was a height
Speaker 1: and it's been a downward hill from there, like which
Speaker 1: I think is a good sign that it actually hit
Speaker 1: its peak just the day after rather than like ten
Speaker 1: days later. Um, but they're saying three d seventy five
Speaker 1: thousand mentions across cable TV, social media, print online, uh,
Speaker 1: and then by December three that had fallen to sixty
Speaker 1: thousand mentions, so it wasn't the hot topic anymore. But
Speaker 1: on the other hand, coronavirus misinformation went to forty six
Speaker 1: thousand one mentions on December three, when it was only
Speaker 1: at seventeen thousand on November eight. So you're just like,
Speaker 1: you know, they gotta It's just like surfing, baby, you
Speaker 1: just gotta catch the next wave. And it's just about
Speaker 1: whatever being in opposition to the established you know, scientific
Speaker 1: knowledge or whatever the policies are going to be of
Speaker 1: the Biden administration. That's just all they're gonna like. That's
Speaker 1: They're just gonna keep hopping from thing to things so
Speaker 1: they can be the captain of the culture war. You
Speaker 1: think that they'd get tired of being wrong about literally everything,
Speaker 1: but has how who doesn't matter who's been canceled for
Speaker 1: being wrong? You know when they say that the world's
Speaker 1: gonna end, and then I was like, oh, well was
Speaker 1: they on that day? It doesn't happen, So got it wrong? Okay,
Speaker 1: oh you got wrong, You got wrong that one that
Speaker 1: one time. Because all this ship really, at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, are just different masks that you know,
Speaker 1: de facto white supremacy, and all this other ship is wearing.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not it's not about the fucking vaccine.
Speaker 1: It's not about this. The steel is about we lost
Speaker 1: our fucking Nazi leader who we thought was going to
Speaker 1: bring us the fourth Right here to America and he didn't.
Speaker 1: And they're pissed about that because they liked that people
Speaker 1: of color and anyone who wasn't assist heat Christian was
Speaker 1: on the back foot this whole time, being like, Yo,
Speaker 1: what the fuss going on? This is really bad, And
Speaker 1: now that that's gone, it can't just you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: the ones that are all down, all in for racism,
Speaker 1: they're gonna keep doing that. But these are the things
Speaker 1: that allow them to keep that energy up of like
Speaker 1: I'm against progress, but I'm not gonna say that. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna say Bill Gates is Mike, we're chipping us
Speaker 1: or stop the steal because too many people have color
Speaker 1: voted against our racist agenda. So it's just, you know,
Speaker 1: it's but it's finding ways to It's like that thing
Speaker 1: in um my heart, huckabees. You know the blanket. Everything
Speaker 1: is the blanket, you know what I mean, The universe
Speaker 1: is the blanket. It's just expressing itself in different ways,
Speaker 1: but it's all it's all just you know, trying. They're
Speaker 1: addicted to being persecuted, and they also happened to be
Speaker 1: the most privileged part of the human race in maybe history,
Speaker 1: and so that's gonna that's gonna require some dissonance on
Speaker 1: on their part. But it is sometimes I just I
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying is like, you think they'd get
Speaker 1: one thing right is obviously stupid, and like where have
Speaker 1: I been for the past three years? But sometimes I
Speaker 1: just like see these things a new for the first
Speaker 1: time with fresh eyes and just like holy shit. Hum well,
Speaker 1: sometimes you know they're frustration is real though, like on
Speaker 1: on the right, because there are people who are like
Speaker 1: who like to win arguments and our racist and realize
Speaker 1: that they can't win arguments right now, and they're like,
Speaker 1: what the funk is going on? Like what's the president doing?
Speaker 1: Like either he won and there's evidence or there isn't,
Speaker 1: but we need to fucking get to that. And it's
Speaker 1: so there are you know, there are people who who
Speaker 1: also can there is you know, intelligent enough to see
Speaker 1: the l coming being lowered onto them very slowly and
Speaker 1: crushing them. Yeah, even after um the electors certified the
Speaker 1: election predicted still hasn't resolved for fun winning Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you can still uh win money by I mean not much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but but it's just sucking bonkers that everything has happened.
Speaker 1: I guess we we wait until it goes to the
Speaker 1: Senate or whatever. Jesus, until that first State of the
Speaker 1: Union address. He is not not until he leaves office.
Speaker 1: Do we know he truly was president? Damn? Okay, I
Speaker 1: guess he did that. He did that. All right, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we're back, And briefly, Senator Angus King has proposed
Speaker 1: something that I think I think streaming services might wanna
Speaker 1: might want to think about doing, which is just give
Speaker 1: everybody free access to their platforms for the holidays. At
Speaker 1: the very least, America, we've proven we're shit at listening
Speaker 1: to directions and considering other people. But also at the
Speaker 1: same time, we've also proven that we live in a
Speaker 1: country where it's so fucking greedy that there's we can't
Speaker 1: even get people to be on board with it because
Speaker 1: we're left to our own devices with no help. So
Speaker 1: it's a real interesting situation here. But when you look
Speaker 1: at um, how much streaming platforms have made money this year.
Speaker 1: I think this plan is very good because I think
Speaker 1: they could stand to give sh it away for free
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks. Uh. Well, what Angus King
Speaker 1: is saying the Independent, you know, the one independent in
Speaker 1: the Senate from Maine. He says, quote, while your platforms
Speaker 1: would likely experience greater traffic as a consequence of extending service,
Speaker 1: we encourage you to provide temporary service at no cost
Speaker 1: to non subscribers as a way to encourage people to
Speaker 1: make responsible choices and safely navigate this holiday season. And
Speaker 1: I think that's genius because if there's one thing we
Speaker 1: also live in this country, it's staring at the flickering
Speaker 1: idiot box too, So why not There's one thing that's
Speaker 1: definitely definitely gonna work is just hoping a company does
Speaker 1: the right thing. I think there's no way this fails.
Speaker 1: I feel like this needs to be pitched as like, well,
Speaker 1: I I do wonder because HBO does that right, Like
Speaker 1: they have the deal with cable companies where they give
Speaker 1: away Hbo for free for so you're just a um
Speaker 1: So like it seems like they could maybe get it
Speaker 1: done that way using the shrewd uh soulless logic of
Speaker 1: capitalism and market economics. Um, And it's not. They're not
Speaker 1: giving away any money. They keep their subscriber money, and
Speaker 1: their subscribers don't get like a bonus two weeks. It's
Speaker 1: just for people who weren't giving them money. Anyway. It
Speaker 1: does seem easy to do. Also, all you need is
Speaker 1: three friends and then you pay for every third streaming service.
Speaker 1: And the problem, yeah, exactly. You know the striminals, the
Speaker 1: striminal syndicates that are out here, you know. Operated Yeah,
Speaker 1: they tell you to do it. It's it's just a
Speaker 1: it's such an easy thing to do, you know. It's
Speaker 1: almost like I want the government to like seize control
Speaker 1: of it. Be like, yo, y'all are giving this ship
Speaker 1: for free, like run your fucking content for these people,
Speaker 1: because because we can't get our ship together to even
Speaker 1: give people fucking money. I think right now, the thing
Speaker 1: we're hearing is a six hundred dollar check. Wow, so
Speaker 1: so generous, that's so cute. That's that's the latest negotiation
Speaker 1: number I've heard. They went from nothing to maybe six hundred.
Speaker 1: But like it should be, did you lose everything? Here's
Speaker 1: one trip to costco Jesus. Yeah, absolutely, and also like
Speaker 1: we're not gonna do with the banks, so they're gonna
Speaker 1: keep squeezing you for you know, rent, mortgages, whatever and
Speaker 1: possible fiction. So I feel like this is truly it's
Speaker 1: like such an easy thing. You know, if you're not
Speaker 1: gonna if you can't incentivize it any other way, thanks,
Speaker 1: what the fuck? Then make it easy to just stay
Speaker 1: at home rather than being like, you know, I'm sure
Speaker 1: it's I'm sure parents would love to be able to
Speaker 1: be like, look, this is the Maybe I don't like
Speaker 1: my kids watching TV, but for this holiday season, let
Speaker 1: it fucking rip because I don't want anybody going outside.
Speaker 1: It's easier to deal with. But ah, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: American companies used to shut down factories or convert factories
Speaker 1: and uh you know, doing things for the war effort
Speaker 1: or ration ration, uh consumption, ask people to ration consumption
Speaker 1: for the war effort. But that's not who we are anymore,
Speaker 1: you know, we're not We're not all about that because
Speaker 1: the Nazis are now here so different when they were
Speaker 1: they were over there, and we're like, who the who
Speaker 1: and our boys are gonna find them, all right, We
Speaker 1: hear you, well, I'll stop drinking milk. But now it's like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I'm a fucking proud boy. Like what then is like,
Speaker 1: it's all up now, alright, let's let's talk about Tom Cruise,
Speaker 1: Tom using it so I don't know, we've seen this
Speaker 1: dude's manic energy, usually in the ways he's wanted us
Speaker 1: to see it, not always super flattering, but always for
Speaker 1: us he loved right. So that was that at the
Speaker 1: outer edge, when it was like, oh wow, we gotta
Speaker 1: we gotta look at the fact that this this is
Speaker 1: not a human being who who experiences reality the way
Speaker 1: we do. Um. He also gets his energy out branding
Speaker 1: around film sets, jumping from building to building, memorizing everyone
Speaker 1: in Hollywood's name in a single afternoon. But we've never
Speaker 1: seen him be this cool. Let's hear a little audio
Speaker 1: of him just unleashing on people who were not standing
Speaker 1: six ft apart by a computer on the set of
Speaker 1: Mission Impossible seven. You're back, man, Why are we making
Speaker 1: movies right now? Because them? Because they can leave it
Speaker 1: that what we're I'm on the phone everything. It shuts companies, producers,
Speaker 1: and they're looking at us and using us to make
Speaker 1: that movie we are creating. That was we're creating fast jobs,
Speaker 1: you motherfucker's and if you don't do it, you're fire.
Speaker 1: I see you get Yeah. That that goes on for
Speaker 1: another two minutes, just a steady It's a be rating
Speaker 1: that is straight out of middle school. Like it feels
Speaker 1: like when my friend's dad caught us playing with guns.
Speaker 1: Uh you know what I mean, be like what the fuck?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like you're like, oh, ship,
Speaker 1: we're working up, We're working up, We're working up. And
Speaker 1: it's weird because that energy. It's like, well, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't I didn't think I would see Tom Cruise
Speaker 1: being like I feel we're responsive, we're beholden to many
Speaker 1: other people in this industry. And now I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's because he just thinks he's the god MC
Speaker 1: of films or that's really coming from a place of that.
Speaker 1: He's like, we have to make this work because we
Speaker 1: can't have things keep shutting down. But it's weird when
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I'm agreeing with his his like where
Speaker 1: he's coming from. I'm curious about everything that's going on,
Speaker 1: but it's it was a weird moment to be in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you do have to admit, like if he if there's
Speaker 1: an outbreak of COVID on whatever Mission impossible seven, that's right. Um,
Speaker 1: if there's an outbreak COVID there, then it's there probably
Speaker 1: will be implications in every single production around the world
Speaker 1: after that, if they have to shut down the most
Speaker 1: expensive movie. Uh, protocols are enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the
Speaker 1: fallout from the protocols not being those are all Mission
Speaker 1: impossible titles. But yeah, you don't want everyone to die
Speaker 1: and become a ghost. That was up footed comment on Reddit.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I guess they were ghosting the protocols. Nice.
Speaker 1: He also swears weird. I think we have to address
Speaker 1: even we are creating thousands of jobs. You motherfucker's wh
Speaker 1: Who is that? It's like Flanders learning to swear for
Speaker 1: the first time, Like I don't think I would ever Like,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, motherfucker's is a good name. I like
Speaker 1: calling a singular person of motherfucker. It's not a good
Speaker 1: group insult most of the time, but I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful word. Also, creating jobs is like a
Speaker 1: great idea, and I think people should be commended in
Speaker 1: many instances. It's uh, people they're just you don't people
Speaker 1: don't create jobs, Like you get a good job enough
Speaker 1: where you're the hirer, but you didn't create an industry.
Speaker 1: You didn't create If you weren't doing this movie, they'd
Speaker 1: be doing another movie, right. Yeah, you know, but it's
Speaker 1: a misleading term. I mean, but look, this guy has
Speaker 1: hopped up on his you know, space religion where the
Speaker 1: spirits went into all the vel volcanoes, and he's like
Speaker 1: an operating feating level six thousand or whatever. So yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe he does. He is feeling himself a little bit
Speaker 1: because he you know, he's also a god figure in
Speaker 1: the scientology too. I mean, you get strong, like the
Speaker 1: book Going Clear, you you learned that he is surrounded
Speaker 1: by literal slaves like for most of his day is uh,
Speaker 1: it's people who signed away. They're signed a I think
Speaker 1: it's like a billion year contract with the sea org
Speaker 1: and they are responsible for just like making every aspect,
Speaker 1: every detail of his life, uh, perfectly frictionless and beautiful.
Speaker 1: And that's you know, he coasts along on that energy.
Speaker 1: And so yeah, the the way to the world is
Speaker 1: on his shoulders, uh, in in his own head because
Speaker 1: he he is the center of the universe and everything
Speaker 1: around him has been designed to reinforce that idea. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well Tom, way to go, bro. Just it's just so weird.
Speaker 1: I don't know, like I I don't know, like it's
Speaker 1: a it's a take that, yes you want it. Like
Speaker 1: anytime you hear someone being like, we have to follow
Speaker 1: these safety guidelines to keep everyone safe, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I like that, and then you zooming like it's Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1: Oh it's also Larry David Gift from Curve. But the
Speaker 1: girl tasting the thing but yeah, oh the kamboot was
Speaker 1: the kombucha. Yeah, yeah, into that too. She got a
Speaker 1: lot of merch. Oh yeah, I mean comedian. It's one
Speaker 1: of the great it's one of the great performances of
Speaker 1: our time. I mean five seconds. If you can become
Speaker 1: a two panel meme, then you're killing it right now.
Speaker 1: That's all. Everyone's a two If you're a two panel meme,
Speaker 1: you're good. If you're Drake with the you know the
Speaker 1: what the what is it? Thetline blame video or it's
Speaker 1: Morie Condo with this brings me joy? This is not
Speaker 1: spark joy. That's where that's where it's hitting. I think
Speaker 1: the thing that got him mad in the first place.
Speaker 1: Was the people weren't standing six ft apart from each other.
Speaker 1: They were like staying next to each other with masks
Speaker 1: on at a computer. Is my understanding, uh of the interaction, um,
Speaker 1: which is not like the thing that has been most
Speaker 1: like people. I feel like that's the one that people
Speaker 1: let slide the most. So uh yeah, watch your back
Speaker 1: around Hollywood. Don't don't stand within six ft of somebody,
Speaker 1: lest Tom Cruise be driving by and let you have it. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're like, we're not behind. We're the d I T.
Speaker 1: We're like the we We're the ones that color correcting
Speaker 1: the footage and taking it in, Like we have to
Speaker 1: be by this computer. Tom, this is my wife. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, it's our honeymoon. Tom. We chose we were
Speaker 1: working during our I'm sorry, we errently walked onto your set.
Speaker 1: We have nothing to do with the production and you uh,
Speaker 1: oh my god, that's my dog. Oh man, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: yes sir. That was the response for everybody. Well, speaking
Speaker 1: of just the entire old sense of self importance that
Speaker 1: comes with being a celebrity, I like to talk about
Speaker 1: how being famous before the year two thousand two is
Speaker 1: like a impediment to being a functional human in the
Speaker 1: modern world, because you know the cast of friends Owen Wilson, like,
Speaker 1: these are people who have never had to learn to
Speaker 1: type on a computer, Like they've never had to like
Speaker 1: keep up with an inbox of of emails. Whether they
Speaker 1: chose to or not up to them, but I have
Speaker 1: to believe that they are functionally impossible to deal with
Speaker 1: in terms of just day to day technology. Uh. And
Speaker 1: we have some new evidence that you can't teach these
Speaker 1: old dogs new tricks. Christopher walk And was on what
Speaker 1: was it Kimmel No Colbert and said that he's never
Speaker 1: sent an email in his life, never, never, never, Uh.
Speaker 1: And it just sort of in line with what what
Speaker 1: was the eminem one? He only had like DVD pornos. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so there was a ship. There's a complex interview where
Speaker 1: there he's like showing off his DVD porn collection and
Speaker 1: the guy who's doing the interview is like, Wow, that's
Speaker 1: cool that you're like old school like that, and he's like,
Speaker 1: what do you mean. He's like, well, most people today,
Speaker 1: I just get their porn on the Internet, and Eminem
Speaker 1: is like, there's porn on internet? And then like the
Speaker 1: guy just has to show him the Internet for the
Speaker 1: first time, essentially, and then and Marshall proceeded to tear
Speaker 1: down his DVD bookcases. I showed him that club. But yeah,
Speaker 1: here's uh Chris Walkin first, Colbert confirming, He's like, now
Speaker 1: I've heard tell that you don't know anything about computers.
Speaker 1: And this is how Christopher Walkin explains his stile emma,
Speaker 1: is it true that you have never owned a computer
Speaker 1: or a cell phone? Yeah? Somebody had to come and
Speaker 1: set this up because I I don't have a cell
Speaker 1: phone or a computer. And is there why don't you
Speaker 1: have one? Are you morally, philosophically, emotionally opposed? No, No,
Speaker 1: I don't. I just got to it too late, you know.
Speaker 1: I think I'm write at a certain age where it
Speaker 1: just passed me by and I never got I never
Speaker 1: got to involved in it because it would be strange
Speaker 1: to have you know, any any ten year old be
Speaker 1: be much better at it than I I am. Okay, um, thanks.
Speaker 1: I mean that was a take that it is like
Speaker 1: going back in time to the late nineties when that
Speaker 1: was that was a take like, oh I don't have
Speaker 1: a cell phone. You know that's not me? That a
Speaker 1: a o L or what is that? And then your
Speaker 1: ego gets in the way, Like clearly he's so his
Speaker 1: ego got in the way because he's citing the fact
Speaker 1: that I'm a hypothetical child would best him on the internet,
Speaker 1: and he not fucking he's not taking that out. Just
Speaker 1: doesn't want to learn from someone younger than him. Right.
Speaker 1: I found a similar a similar cut off recently in
Speaker 1: UH title the music streaming platform they get. They had
Speaker 1: their uh their end of the year, you know, like
Speaker 1: much like Spotify, but no one gives no one shared
Speaker 1: um there their end of the year lists and the
Speaker 1: rock music category because someone was like asking me about
Speaker 1: my interest and I was like, I was just like,
Speaker 1: what is the rock music that came out this year?
Speaker 1: And I looked up and it is not until the
Speaker 1: seventeen song on the list of Hottest rock Songs of
Speaker 1: the year where there is a band that started as
Speaker 1: a band after the year two thousand. The list is
Speaker 1: like Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, uh Uh,
Speaker 1: Pearl Jam. The Strokes were the youngest band on the list, right,
Speaker 1: and that was just a group of Stroke victims who
Speaker 1: started up elderly. That elderly band, I don't know what.
Speaker 1: They just don't make rock music anymore. I just I
Speaker 1: don't understand. I think, no, no, you know this thing
Speaker 1: because I've caught my parents doing it. Like there's always
Speaker 1: like a ubiquitous app right, there's when everybody uses and
Speaker 1: somehow your parents are like on the weird fucking secondary
Speaker 1: tertiary bullshit and you're like, what do you mean, where
Speaker 1: are you getting your music? They're like, oh no, magoogo audio.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is that? They're like, well, it has
Speaker 1: some of the albums I like, I'm like, yo, this
Speaker 1: is nonsense and you're paying way more. Like I feel
Speaker 1: it's this sort of similar thing we're witnessing. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: wonder if that's uh because title is jay Z or
Speaker 1: whatever and it's more hip hop focused that they just
Speaker 1: don't do rock music on it. I don't think so, man.
Speaker 1: I think rock music is dead as dead, Like I
Speaker 1: don't think there's When you look at like the top
Speaker 1: two hundred songs of the year on pitch figured out
Speaker 1: there's like one band the nineteen seventy nine is like
Speaker 1: the one band that uh and I don't even know
Speaker 1: if that's the name of five that's how familiar I
Speaker 1: am with them the old Yeah, I think the thing
Speaker 1: that I'm seeing now because I'm like no, like because
Speaker 1: it feels like old people ship right, Like granted those
Speaker 1: are good bands, but like when those are your charts,
Speaker 1: that means the you know, older people are like loving
Speaker 1: their ship on that app. I think the reason is Sprint.
Speaker 1: If you are on Sprint, you get Title for free.
Speaker 1: That's what I That's why I have it. And Sprint
Speaker 1: feels like my friends parents, like the cell phone company
Speaker 1: of my friend's parents. Like if I have a very
Speaker 1: older person perception of Sprint, because like those are people
Speaker 1: who are diehard Sprint users, like from the nineties who
Speaker 1: were like fuck Verizon and I remember when it used
Speaker 1: to be called Singular, not eight and T wireless. You know,
Speaker 1: those are the people I feel like who stayed die
Speaker 1: hard was Sprint. They're getting a free music service called
Speaker 1: Title and then that's just it's just easy. Also free Hulu.
Speaker 1: Um and yeah, I've been on a family plan for
Speaker 1: at least twenty years. Okay, I'm still looking at the
Speaker 1: top rock songs of according to Google. Uh. Number one
Speaker 1: is Shot in the Dark by A C. D C.
Speaker 1: Did they release an album this year? A brand new album,
Speaker 1: number two, Shame Shame by the Foo Fighters Fighters on there,
Speaker 1: like I I there's a Pearl Jam song on there,
Speaker 1: twenty one Pilots, Green Day, bon Jovi, Bush, The Killers,
Speaker 1: Bush Bush, there's a Taylor Swift song on here, like
Speaker 1: it's it's really slim pickings, uh, and then a bunch
Speaker 1: of ship that has slim pickings on there. Yeah. Machine
Speaker 1: Gun Kelly, the rapper who was like, I'm going to
Speaker 1: do something completely unexpected and released in my head, Dude,
Speaker 1: when I heard that song, I was like, what the
Speaker 1: funk is this? And then I'm like, Travis Barker duped
Speaker 1: Machine Gun Kelly into doing a blink. Miley Cyrus did
Speaker 1: that too, and she made like a rock album. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's mean, it's not even a it's not even an
Speaker 1: entire genre of music anymore. What is rock anymore? I mean, really,
Speaker 1: that's really the questions we should be answering rather than
Speaker 1: coming at title what's going on just as much as
Speaker 1: everything else, right, I think I do want to talk
Speaker 1: about loneliness really quickly. Just it's not a new subject.
Speaker 1: We've been talking about how there's a loneliness epidemic in
Speaker 1: the country but I was reading this article that was
Speaker 1: about just how loneliness has evolved over the course of
Speaker 1: the pandemic, and it I don't know, first of all,
Speaker 1: it just it just seems like a lot of the
Speaker 1: a lot of the things that we used to do
Speaker 1: with people are not I don't know, they like there's
Speaker 1: a way that it's the loneliness interacts with the zeitgeist
Speaker 1: that I feel like, um, there's just a part of
Speaker 1: the overall problem is the speed and sophistication that like
Speaker 1: marketing and the market economy in our country, like it
Speaker 1: incorporates and subsumes every human emotion and interaction of value,
Speaker 1: like the we because the article starts out talking about how, um,
Speaker 1: in the early part of the pandemic, there were all
Speaker 1: these like different ways people were interacting with like zoom
Speaker 1: calls and uh, you know, zoom family reunions and then
Speaker 1: like going out and uh welcoming and recognizing the front
Speaker 1: line where ers and all these different things. But like
Speaker 1: those are all things now that I associate with like
Speaker 1: shitty ads that I've seen, like and I just I
Speaker 1: don't know, I think there's something to the way that
Speaker 1: like all human like all decent human interaction has been
Speaker 1: like turned into a marketing tactic that like contributes to
Speaker 1: the overall loneliness of of modern life. How like marketing
Speaker 1: tactics have involved like we go went from mad Men
Speaker 1: of being like if you're a bro, you smoke SIGs
Speaker 1: and like you're with hot chicks and drink scotch and
Speaker 1: like that's the lifestyle. And now we're like, yo, you
Speaker 1: have friends, Like yeah, like we're it's not even it's
Speaker 1: not even this fake life anymore that we were sort
Speaker 1: of hypnotizing people with through advertising. Is that you're saying
Speaker 1: like now it's just sort of like the carrot on
Speaker 1: the stick or the hook is now like do you
Speaker 1: remember like when like you felt good like as a human. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And it's just like robs the soul of it, like
Speaker 1: that this article talks about like it's in Harvard Magazine
Speaker 1: and it's about like that they have the School of
Speaker 1: Public Health and uh, they did a whole like they
Speaker 1: had somebody in their program who's coming back from China
Speaker 1: and was like just burst into tears the second they
Speaker 1: started talking to somebody because of like you know, the
Speaker 1: loneliness and the just a situation on the ground and
Speaker 1: so like three weeks before everything shut down, they started
Speaker 1: having this like symposium of like solutions to the loneliness
Speaker 1: that we were going to have, and like one of
Speaker 1: the things they ended up finding is that like collaborating
Speaker 1: on creative projects and actually like creating something with other
Speaker 1: people was like the one solution that people were able
Speaker 1: like that made people feel fulfilled. And I feel like
Speaker 1: that ties into like you can't it can't be immediately
Speaker 1: like robbed of its value if you are actively creating something,
Speaker 1: Like creativity is the one thing that like can't be
Speaker 1: taken by a brand and turned into like a ge
Speaker 1: or like beer ed Well, you're I literally sold my
Speaker 1: creativity to companies for years. But in that sense, but yeah,
Speaker 1: like there is what is that commercial like next where
Speaker 1: it's like people jamming and they're like, fuck yeah, State
Speaker 1: Farm Insurance. But I feel like it's yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's you know it was I feel like was stolen. Recently,
Speaker 1: was your birthday? Remember on Facebook? Like it was your birthday,
Speaker 1: you were the number one person in the world. You
Speaker 1: would get hundreds of messages. Everyone knew about it because
Speaker 1: it was the first time, you know, everyone just knew
Speaker 1: what your birthday was I could say, they could say
Speaker 1: happy birthday, and it was so fantastic. And now a
Speaker 1: birthday is if you are notable, if you are famous,
Speaker 1: then you're good friend ends will publicly wish you a
Speaker 1: happy birthday if you are famous, because if you are
Speaker 1: not famous, yeah, if you're yeah, because it was because
Speaker 1: it's the personal thing where now everyone knows a little,
Speaker 1: a little lights shined on them because they know you.
Speaker 1: And then and then, um, you can't just be doing
Speaker 1: like big posts about birthdays every day. So now like
Speaker 1: even my close friends, you know, it's like where you
Speaker 1: would say happy birthday, now you don't. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that's the that's the problem with this town. You know,
Speaker 1: you never know who's with you and who's against you.
Speaker 1: Everybody wants something, especially when you're doing the secondary podcast.
Speaker 1: I know that, and I know that feel, but that
Speaker 1: is it doesn't hit you up. Everyone's hanging out to
Speaker 1: go watch super Bad. That is an example of like
Speaker 1: this thing being turned into and like com modified on
Speaker 1: into like a Facebook gesture that then once it becomes
Speaker 1: its own like meme or its own genre of like
Speaker 1: human behavior, then it like sort of it gets an
Speaker 1: empty need of its value like uh and like turned
Speaker 1: into like some part of this influence and influence pedaling
Speaker 1: like market economy that is social media. Yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: Like it just is an overall pattern that I think
Speaker 1: is undergirding like every everything with regards to like the
Speaker 1: unhappiness epidemic. Like they're they're saying that eighteen year olds
Speaker 1: are the loneliest people on the planet according to research,
Speaker 1: and you know, they're the most online, and they're always
Speaker 1: trying to dunk on us for being old. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with my family. I don't know. Yeah, I'm a
Speaker 1: dunk on this twenty four year old by kissing my
Speaker 1: my partner in this photo. Mad mad mad lonely assuah.
Speaker 1: I mean it's but it's like it's a weird phenomenon
Speaker 1: to like you're saying online where you can be connected,
Speaker 1: yet these feelings are just so intense. Um yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean again, just a good reminder reach out to people,
Speaker 1: because it's difficult to reach out when you yourself are
Speaker 1: like in a in a dark place because sometimes you
Speaker 1: don't realize, you know, what it takes somebody else being
Speaker 1: like hey you good, good, what's up? Let's even talk
Speaker 1: for a little bit. Having something scheduled, I think is
Speaker 1: like regularly scheduled, like I have regularly check ins with
Speaker 1: some of my friends. That is helpful because I never
Speaker 1: feel like doing them right before, but afterwards, I'm always
Speaker 1: always glad that I have done them. Yeah, all right, Nick,
Speaker 1: Mr cum it's been great having you on the daily

Speaker 1: you've been enjoying. Ryan Hamilton's the wonderful stand up comedian
Speaker 1: notable for kind of looking like Jerry Seinfeld. He wrote,
Speaker 1: my bed time is whatever time it is when I
Speaker 1: look at the clock. That is absolutely true for me.
Speaker 1: It's everything every night, like Lary, what time is it?
Speaker 1: N I'm thirty, It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'm
Speaker 1: only asking because I'm tired. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, uh man,
Speaker 1: uh Miles, where can people find you and follow you?

Speaker 1: I'm on Twitter and Instagram at miles of gray. Also,
Speaker 1: you know, talking ninety day on four twenty day, a
Speaker 1: fee younce hey. Uh. Let's see some tweets. I like
Speaker 1: one is this this one somebody uh just kind of
Speaker 1: blew up, which just says, you know, tell me you're
Speaker 1: white without saying I'm white. And the replies some are good,
Speaker 1: some are lame as fuck, uh but I think and
Speaker 1: some are just uh, you know, like this one was
Speaker 1: just mac and cheese from the box is the best.
Speaker 1: I mean, although I don't know if that's nectually you
Speaker 1: can I don't think white culture can claim box mac
Speaker 1: and cheese. Another one is my high school had multiple
Speaker 1: drive your tractor to work days. I had someone for
Speaker 1: a wealth Well, uh, I mean that must be right.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, no, I think I'm that. I mean that
Speaker 1: feels around farm culture or things like that. But anyway,
Speaker 1: it's a fun thing. Just read through it. Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: someone just said I have never been arrested, stoppter searched
Speaker 1: by the police. That one hits a little too hard. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then another one I like is from Brandy posey
Speaker 1: at brand Dazzle d a z z l. She tweets,
Speaker 1: I resent that the pandemic has made me like Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1: It's a bridge too far. Um all right with some
Speaker 1: tweets I've been enjoying. Uh at Drill tweeted, we asked
Speaker 1: one d Angels from Heaven what their iq s were
Speaker 1: and the results will drain your nuts, which just a
Speaker 1: good encapsulation of that genre headline you see all the
Speaker 1: side of articles. Yeah, when you get tricked into go
Speaker 1: into the wrong website. Uh at Hello. Colin tweeted something
Speaker 1: in response to news that there's going to be uh
Speaker 1: an F word in the new Batman film. He tweeted,

Speaker 1: and I'm pretty sure it is. I'm not gonna ask
