Speaker 1: very good there, it is, Thank you. I spent a
Speaker 1: lot of time on that, a lot of time finding
Speaker 1: you found it took a while for you. I mean
Speaker 1: you were looking for a parody song on the street.
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. There's a little work went into it.
Speaker 1: Not a lot of people looking down. Now the Angels
Speaker 1: in America says, look up. I say, look down, look
Speaker 1: at your shoes. What are they doing? That's great? Nick?
Speaker 1: Is it true? I mean you you do have big
Speaker 1: oscars behind you in the zoom. You are an expert
Speaker 1: in who wins your oscar pool? Sharp? Is that correct.
Speaker 1: Uh sharp like like sharp, I think is the is
Speaker 1: the tournament in Vegas? For like the people who are
Speaker 1: like ahead of the game and like you, I thought
Speaker 1: you were accidentally smarter than the house. I thought you
Speaker 1: were doing a malapropism. You meant shark, like like bull
Speaker 1: shark or card shark. Now I've heard sharp just on
Speaker 1: like sports podcasts, like the smart people in Vegas. I'm
Speaker 1: a sharp, I'm a shark. I frequently sharp shark and
Speaker 1: they're all true about Look, yes I have I have
Speaker 1: the goods. I think there's a lot of people in
Speaker 1: this space and uh, it's like a lot of betting prognosticators,
Speaker 1: you know sports usually they never talk about their predictions afterwards,
Speaker 1: right because you know, it's embarrassing if you look at
Speaker 1: like the number of the ones they get right, you know,
Speaker 1: from even like the most famous sports betters, Like it's
Speaker 1: about fifty three for like if you're doing great, But
Speaker 1: I have much higher odds in my bettings. And it's
Speaker 1: not just about on the day. Anyone can get them
Speaker 1: right on Oscar day because before they even announced, because
Speaker 1: you've had there coming out that year that I have
Speaker 1: sevent hundred dollars on Avatar four to lose, so uh,
Speaker 1: you gotta get them early. We started it's a podcast
Speaker 1: called to Show Me the Money that I do with
Speaker 1: Pat Stango, one half of the bo Boys podcast where
Speaker 1: they look over the box office every week. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: so you know, we've known each other through comedy for
Speaker 1: a long time, but we've we've together started a summer
Speaker 1: movie box office league together and we we participate in
Speaker 1: a very big Oscars Oscars pool each year, which I'm
Speaker 1: the only person to have won multiple times. That sounds
Speaker 1: like it's the Oscar pool to complet like, that's the
Speaker 1: top of the lot. It's not just like you're you know,
Speaker 1: your work friends oscar pool. That sounds like it is informed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and experts, are you guys members of the academy? Like
Speaker 1: how much of is there like a conflict of interest here?
Speaker 1: We're members of the betting Academy. It's a ragtag group.
Speaker 1: There's left controversity and we don't hurt each other there
Speaker 1: so uh yeah, so yeah, gambling famously, violence of verse.
Speaker 1: There's never been any violence in well not anymore. I
Speaker 1: mean it was when they were O t b s,
Speaker 1: but now everyone's in their own home. It's just a
Speaker 1: punch of wall. That's right. So some of my big
Speaker 1: bets that have come to fruition. I had the Daniels
Speaker 1: at plus nine hundred to win Best Director. They are
Speaker 1: now currently in the lead. That's nine times your bet plus.
Speaker 1: But that's what plus nine hundred means. And uh, if
Speaker 1: I had everything everywhere, all at once for plus seven
Speaker 1: hundred picture the whole awards season, like what did you
Speaker 1: just play December January, that's that I've made. And uh,
Speaker 1: I've got a bunch of seven plus seven hundred for
Speaker 1: Wakonda Forever's Angela Bassett, who is now in the super
Speaker 1: first place for Best Supporting Actress. I didn't realize that
Speaker 1: I was the only prognosticator as far as I know,
Speaker 1: on any podcast to think Andrea Riseboro is going to
Speaker 1: get a nomination for Best Actress. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you're familiar with a controversy where she um like, yeah,
Speaker 1: she got nominated, and then people were like I heard
Speaker 1: that she had people like vying for her, and everyone
Speaker 1: got mad because she wasn't famous enough to have people
Speaker 1: vying for her. Were you Nick one of the dozen
Speaker 1: people who saw the movie? And that's where your confidence
Speaker 1: came from no And this is a big part of
Speaker 1: our podcast. It's not about watching the movies. You don't
Speaker 1: need to watch the movies. Get caught up watching all
Speaker 1: the movies, they lose sight of the big picture. Yeah,
Speaker 1: which is the awards. Which is the awards and you
Speaker 1: know it's it's it's looking at trends, it's looking at
Speaker 1: past awards shows, looking at which ones predict the Oscar
Speaker 1: is the best and a big, big, big one is
Speaker 1: this weekend at the Baptist. And in terms of betting,
Speaker 1: if you're if you watch an award show and then
Speaker 1: watch somebody win, you'll see it before the lines change
Speaker 1: on whatever betting site. And so baptis are such a
Speaker 1: good predictor. And so if you just watched the Baptis
Speaker 1: and then like whoever wins picked that person, that line
Speaker 1: is going to change the next day and you're here, wow,
Speaker 1: look at you. That's like what are the flashboys? The
Speaker 1: like Wall Street traders who were making money by having
Speaker 1: a faster like have Essentially they had a faster ticker.
Speaker 1: They even invested in having like this was in some
Speaker 1: Michael Lewis book. They invested in having the like Ethernet
Speaker 1: Care or you know the internet what what what's it called?
Speaker 1: The one with the is like fiber optic, fiber optic
Speaker 1: cables like going from like where information was that they
Speaker 1: like made sure the line was straight so that like
Speaker 1: the fiber optics didn't have to like go around any
Speaker 1: curves down like microscopic second like fractions of a second,
Speaker 1: and that's they were making a lot of money that way.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of like what you were doing by
Speaker 1: watching the Bathtas, which is actually like that's a level
Speaker 1: of commitment that nobody has gone to. Yeah, awards show
Speaker 1: so much that you watched the Bathta is like you're
Speaker 1: you're in it for the love of the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the actually on the show in Boulder, Colorado on Sunday,
Speaker 1: So I won't be watching it first, but I just
Speaker 1: have to write write some code. Unfortunately, don't you already
Speaker 1: know You already know who's gonna win. That's already know
Speaker 1: that that is the thing, so you know it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Best picture. By the way, in terms of Bathta and Oscar,
Speaker 1: is almost no crossover in the last decade. One one movie.
Speaker 1: So I've been saying since it was a massive hit
Speaker 1: that I thought everything, everywhere, all once was gonna win.
Speaker 1: I'm an amateur boh boy myself and Oscar preday. I'm
Speaker 1: usually pretty good at the at the Oscar pole stuff.
Speaker 1: So I'm terrible at it, but only because I never
Speaker 1: know what movies come out, and I see movies years later.
Speaker 1: So I go like, well, did old brother, is that
Speaker 1: gonna win this year? And people are like, no, that
Speaker 1: was from a long time ago. I'm like, well then
Speaker 1: I'm fucked. Yeah. Last year, our big prediction was was
Speaker 1: Koda months early and Troy Cotzer early. Wait what did win?
Speaker 1: I forgot Koda. It was a late surge. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: didn't even see it is a good Yeah, it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's good, it's cute, it's a family movie. It's um
Speaker 1: it hits all the right you know marks. But um,
Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't say it's my favorite movie of
Speaker 1: all time, but I certainly thought, you know whatever, I
Speaker 1: rode that horse all the way to do you Have?
Speaker 1: And you were saying so like you don't have to
Speaker 1: watch the movies too, Like you don't have to make
Speaker 1: yourself like Green Book. It's not about quality quality, it's
Speaker 1: just narrative. Yeah, for sure. Okay, so you know, it
Speaker 1: could be anything. But one thing that makes betting on
Speaker 1: these incredibly difficult and why it's almost impossible to win
Speaker 1: ten tho dollars is because these lines are not available
Speaker 1: on American regulated sports books. I feel like it's always
Speaker 1: a name Draft King will not be there. It's only
Speaker 1: offshore betting sites like your Bovada's, your bet us Is,
Speaker 1: your Every Game's. These are where we're going. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: so they don't have like super high max is. The
Speaker 1: highest they go is you can bet like a couple
Speaker 1: hundred dollars on stuff. But like I maxed out Andrea
Speaker 1: Riseboro to win Best Actress plus thirty. So I stand
Speaker 1: to make a good amount if this, If if that
Speaker 1: rides all the way to the end, I hope. I
Speaker 1: hope for your sake and for your children's sake that yeah,
Speaker 1: I did to a Now impl now I have a
Speaker 1: horse in that. Alright, Nick, we're gonna get to know
Speaker 1: you a little bit better normal. For sure, you can
Speaker 1: tell a listener to a couple of things we're talking about.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about how the FBI will investigate the
Speaker 1: Harris County jail, just the reality inside that jail, there's
Speaker 1: a quote and in the article from one of the
Speaker 1: lawyers who's going to be I guess or who who's
Speaker 1: involved in the investigation, about how like you wouldn't believe
Speaker 1: it unless you like had the evidence in front of view.
Speaker 1: And it just feels like that sentiment is something we're
Speaker 1: hearing more and more of, is like this, this doesn't
Speaker 1: happen here. You don't. I can't. You can't believe that
Speaker 1: this is happening here. So we're gonna talk about that. Uh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the there's an I M. Legend
Speaker 1: sequel coming and they are making it. They're making the
Speaker 1: sequel to the original ending, not the ending that we
Speaker 1: all saw in movie theaters, but the ending to the
Speaker 1: movie that was the ending to the book. That is
Speaker 1: like the whole point of the movie that they then
Speaker 1: changed because it didn't test well. So well, we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that they changed it from like the whole all
Speaker 1: I remember is there's some zombie dogs in that movie,
Speaker 1: and zombie dogs in that There was definitely a zombie dog.
Speaker 1: I'm like his dog, right, yeah, yeah, and then Disney
Speaker 1: die at the end. Well yeah, but not in the
Speaker 1: ending that they're making the sequel to I'll tell you
Speaker 1: that damn much. So anyways, this is I just wanted
Speaker 1: to bring this up because it's an early you know
Speaker 1: tip for Nick for the oscar bedding pull for two years.
Speaker 1: For sure, all my money is going into this, all
Speaker 1: of that plenty more. But first Nick, we do like
Speaker 1: to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? Well,
Speaker 1: all my search history I was looking up is mostly
Speaker 1: gambling related, and so it was actually top twenty four
Speaker 1: users gold Derby Baptist because if you want one single
Speaker 1: place to go to get the good info, gold Derby
Speaker 1: they have four categories of prognosticators and uh all star,
Speaker 1: top twenty four, Top twenty four, the year critics and
Speaker 1: uh groundho and some yeah scenes a shadow and everything
Speaker 1: everywhere all at once, wins Um Andrea Rise Bros. Pr
Speaker 1: Team pops up out of a hole and if they
Speaker 1: are kicked out by the Academy and it's another twenty
Speaker 1: four months, okay, So uh so anyway, yeah, you have
Speaker 1: to like filter through the twenty four who are critics
Speaker 1: and experts don't know anything. And this is what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. This is not about knowing your ship. This
Speaker 1: is about gambling and the people who are the most
Speaker 1: in tune are the people who are this year's number
Speaker 1: one top twenty four, top twenty four users. It's every time.
Speaker 1: It's how I got Anthony Hopkins over Chadwick Boseman two
Speaker 1: years ago when everybody thought Chadwick Boseman was getting the muscar. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you want some money on that? Oh yeah, I went
Speaker 1: big on yeah. And that's how I won the whole
Speaker 1: Did you want money on green Book? Too? I did not.
Speaker 1: I did win one year Problematic Faiths. One year I
Speaker 1: did win the big pot when La La Land won
Speaker 1: and then the pot was then, uh taken from you.
Speaker 1: Lah and I my wife we were we were watching
Speaker 1: and we we were looking up the menu for this
Speaker 1: really expensive restaurant that we've always wanted to go to,
Speaker 1: and we were like, this is how we're spending the money.
Speaker 1: And we're like, I'm gonna get this and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get this, and then we did it, and uh, we
Speaker 1: never we never went to that rest Warren Beatty was
Speaker 1: like a little psych Yeah, I do. I do some
Speaker 1: of that. So I do go to gold Derby just
Speaker 1: throughout the year. I like to see, like what they're
Speaker 1: saying is gonna hit even before I've seen the movies.
Speaker 1: But I also do that with that sort of thing
Speaker 1: with like fantasy sports. Sometimes it's like you are sorting
Speaker 1: through this like massive list of it quote unquot about
Speaker 1: experts and you just like find one person who's really
Speaker 1: smart about it, you know, and that's are you on?
Speaker 1: Can somebody go see the Nick Turner picks on gold Derby?
Speaker 1: Are you a user? Um? That's a great information. I
Speaker 1: have filled it out for oscars, but I do not.
Speaker 1: I do not go there, and I guess it's not
Speaker 1: something I'm willing to do. Yeah, good, it's not what
Speaker 1: it's about. Also, it's like it's about like what picks
Speaker 1: are this week? What are the best picks this week?
Speaker 1: And so you know, gold Derby is not really for
Speaker 1: me to give, it's for me to take. It's a feeder. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a Nick Turner feeder. What if some of you
Speaker 1: think is overridden? Thank you for asking Jack? Hey, Nick,
Speaker 1: what's something you think is overrated? Now this question is
Speaker 1: out of left field, but I think I have an answer.
Speaker 1: Chubby Checker, Oh, Chummy Checker is overrated? Take that. I
Speaker 1: think it's correct. Okay, Now it might not be the
Speaker 1: most timely take but take, well, I just heard of him.
Speaker 1: Where did these damn kids telling me about Chuffy Checker Man?
Speaker 1: Shut the funk up forever day. We need to talk
Speaker 1: about Chubby Checker. If you see he's probably ninety, but
Speaker 1: if you see him, he has an impeccable hairline and hair.
Speaker 1: Does he still here? He's still alive. A team, the
Speaker 1: same team that that did makeup in hair on the Whale.
Speaker 1: So Chubby Checker, we all love him. He's the twist guy.
Speaker 1: He brought a picture of him in two thousand five. Amazing, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he looks amazing. Wait was he like twelve when he
Speaker 1: was famous, because he's only eighty one now? Uh no, okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I feel like he was maybe
Speaker 1: a person who like looked like looked older when he
Speaker 1: he was younger because he was born in forty one.
Speaker 1: Wasn't he famous in like the early sixties? So in yeah,
Speaker 1: nineteen sixties when his big song came out, so he
Speaker 1: was nineteen, he looked like a middle aged I guess
Speaker 1: everyone looked like a middle aged person back then. Lead Also,
Speaker 1: he's probably you know, the heft helps and yes, he's
Speaker 1: very tall. It's crazy that he's still chubby. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: you can't lose your I mean, you know, at this point,
Speaker 1: if he comes out skinny, who's going to No one
Speaker 1: wants to skinny Checkers. Yeah, skinny Chess, no thing. So okay,
Speaker 1: everybody thinks they love the twist. It's a dance that
Speaker 1: you know you anyone can do because they're literally moving
Speaker 1: right to left. Yeah, almost not a dance. So in
Speaker 1: nineteen six, Checker at nineteen releases Let's Do the Twist
Speaker 1: and it's number one hit. It does great. He's a genius.
Speaker 1: So then in nineteen sixty one, the label comes back
Speaker 1: and they Chubby, you did it, and you gotta do
Speaker 1: it again? Okay, what you gotta give us something else? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So then Chubby's like, you know what, guys, I'm not
Speaker 1: full of ideas. I'm gonna think of another dance. So
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty one he's eventually like, I got it.
Speaker 1: I figured it out. He releases Let's Twist Again like
Speaker 1: we did last summer, which incredible move to reference a
Speaker 1: previous song in a song, and that song that has
Speaker 1: staying like people still play Twist Again like I've heard
Speaker 1: that song the years later another hit. So he's a genius. Okay,
Speaker 1: So then sixty sixty one, those are his years. Nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty two, label comes back. They say, Chubby, you did it,
Speaker 1: twist man, you know. He he's got a new nickname
Speaker 1: at this point, and they're like, you're the twist guy.
Speaker 1: And he's like, I know him, the twist guy. Let's
Speaker 1: fucking hit it. Get in the basement because the twister
Speaker 1: is coming. That's what I would have said, Tom coming
Speaker 1: to my office executive back then. Yes, nineteen sixty two,
Speaker 1: he thinks, uh, let's let's uh, let's do it. He
Speaker 1: releases Twisting USA, which I assume he thought there was
Speaker 1: gonna be a Twisting for every country. But this song
Speaker 1: was not hit, you know, And so I think at
Speaker 1: that point he starts to lose it a little bit.
Speaker 1: And a couple of months later he comes out with
Speaker 1: Slow Twisting and Paloma Twist, which are sexy twist songs
Speaker 1: because the twist is not sexy, you're you're bound to
Speaker 1: knee your partner in the growing. Yeah. So he got
Speaker 1: some slow versions, not hits, and then let's say summer
Speaker 1: of nineteen sixty two, he's at the end of his rope.
Speaker 1: And uh, he's lost his mind. He doesn't even know
Speaker 1: why he got into the twist game. And he releases
Speaker 1: teach me to Twist, which you know he's lost his nine.
Speaker 1: We're like tring you talk twist, I forgotten to twists.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, you know, the way to really like
Speaker 1: learn something is by teaching it. So maybe he's just
Speaker 1: like you guys have clearly lost your love and passion
Speaker 1: for the twist. How about this, I'm gonna play a
Speaker 1: fucking mind game with you if you teach me to twist?
Speaker 1: What if? What if we tried that? But just yeah,
Speaker 1: sheer desperation, like a panic idea, like idea, it's like
Speaker 1: a like attempt to get you know, like people talking.
Speaker 1: You know, it's just to get some engagement. Like it
Speaker 1: sounds like a degenerative neurological disorder where he slowly like
Speaker 1: teach me to twist, and then it's just like where
Speaker 1: are car keys? And it just keeps going down. So
Speaker 1: not a hit, folks. So then that same year, in
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty two, he pivots and he thinks maybe I'm
Speaker 1: just like he was twisting. Yes, yeah, yeah, he said,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm the dance guy for dances that aren't really dances,
Speaker 1: and he releases Limbo Rock. Oh but I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: The song was a fucking hit. Yeah, a huge hit.
Speaker 1: He's back so the nineteen sixty three you Gotta do
Speaker 1: it again? He comes back with Let's Limbo some More. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: this is this psychopaths journey. I mean he's only twenty.
Speaker 1: Imagine he's a story. So then not a hit, and
Speaker 1: then he's like, you know, he he's starting to rethink everything,
Speaker 1: and he's like, maybe I am the twist guy. And
Speaker 1: then also in nineteen sixty three, he releases Twisted Up.
Speaker 1: Back to Twisted not a hit, N four nothing. He
Speaker 1: he doesn't release anything. He goes insane. He gets an
Speaker 1: airbnb in Big Bear, he takes a gun and a dog,
Speaker 1: and he waits a year just thinking there's got to
Speaker 1: be something else. And then in nineteen sixty five, bam,
Speaker 1: he's back with Let's do the Freddy. Oh Freddy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a left turn you didn't expect. Where did that
Speaker 1: song come from? His name's Chubby Well. Freddy and the
Speaker 1: Dreamers released the song that same year, and so he
Speaker 1: was just listening to the radio and he was like
Speaker 1: they're doing a dance song. Chubby dance guy. He did
Speaker 1: he steal their dance? He stole it. Also, the dance
Speaker 1: is basically lifting your arms above your head and sticking
Speaker 1: out one leg. It's the Daniel song. Okay, that's all.
Speaker 1: It's a dumb fucking day. Why couldn't he be like,
Speaker 1: put your arms to the side. It's the Chubby just anyway,
Speaker 1: not a hit. He's gone, He's done. That's it. That's
Speaker 1: the Chubby Checker everybody loves so much. You're right. He
Speaker 1: He apparently appeared in a film called Don't Knock the Twist.
Speaker 1: Nobody's better watch your fucking mouth about the Twist. Imagine
Speaker 1: if he had had like a TikTok and it comes
Speaker 1: out every week with like, why are people ruining my twist?
Speaker 1: A New York Times op ed in defense of the Twist, Yeah, wow, dude,
Speaker 1: that is uh, he's your right journey. You just took
Speaker 1: a song. Yeah, so overrated. I don't know if he's overrated.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's what I took from that,
Speaker 1: but wow, what a what a run. Let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll come back and find out what
Speaker 1: you think is underrated? Holy shit, and we're back, and man,
Speaker 1: what a what a Wikipedia page on Chubby Checkers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: some other songs, but none of them were dance related.
Speaker 1: It's a it is a singular checker. It's not it's
Speaker 1: not the game Checkers. It's not Chevy Checkers. Che Checker. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I said Chevy Checkers. My dad, my dad, who famously
Speaker 1: on this show, famous maybe not famous at all, refers
Speaker 1: to Brad Pitt as Brad Pitts. Yeah, that's close enough.
Speaker 1: Well he's he's done some bad stuff. Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 1: He's What is something you think is underrated? Nick? Great question,
Speaker 1: I think, thank you. Expensive gardeners are under rated. Expensive gardeners.
Speaker 1: When I was on the East Coast, I dreamed of
Speaker 1: having a gardener. I didn't know. If you told me
Speaker 1: i'd have a gardener one day, I'd be like in
Speaker 1: my gold house, you're sick. I thought gardeners mostly just
Speaker 1: like trimmed hedges into the shape of animals. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: didn't know everyone had a gardener here. So now I
Speaker 1: have a gardener, and it sucks because cheap gardeners aren't good.
Speaker 1: You can pay more to have them come at a
Speaker 1: reasonable time. You can pay more to get them to
Speaker 1: stop using gas powered everything wake you up. But most
Speaker 1: people don't have those. And I've actually asked my gardener
Speaker 1: to stop working on Mike half of the garden because
Speaker 1: all they do is just like blow shift around. They
Speaker 1: don't weed. That's what I need them for. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's an expensive gardener job. They come at four thirty
Speaker 1: in the morning. Yeah, and they just mostly are focused
Speaker 1: on blowing next to my window. Yeah. The job of
Speaker 1: the gardener is to slowly gass you to death every
Speaker 1: Tuesday at three am. Yeah. It is uh yeah, And
Speaker 1: also it's if you're renting your gardener, is just part
Speaker 1: of the deal a lot of the times, and which
Speaker 1: is puts you in a shitty position when the gardener,
Speaker 1: let's say, randomly keeps hitting on your wife in front
Speaker 1: of you and uh keeps offering her vodka in the morning. Listen.
Speaker 1: I'm all for, you know, drinking with a gardener, but
Speaker 1: you know this, Uh, I feel like you should be
Speaker 1: able to be like, okay, like that. I don't like that.
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of follow up questions. My wife
Speaker 1: left me for the gardener. I didn't want to hear it,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to feeling all right. Well, Expensive Gardeners,
Speaker 1: the sequel to The Constant Gardener. I think that might
Speaker 1: be the worst movie title. It's awful. Constant Gardener. A
Speaker 1: constant Gardener just sounds it was like, it's that and
Speaker 1: a very long engagement are my too worst movie titles
Speaker 1: because that's too I don't just sound like the put
Speaker 1: together sounds so long. It sounds like a Chubby Checker,
Speaker 1: like the thing that is coming up with on the spot,
Speaker 1: like a panic twist there the constant twist that so
Speaker 1: we we did, we didn't twist again, but that for that.
Speaker 1: So what the let's twist again presumes is that there
Speaker 1: was a they stopped twisting and started again. What if
Speaker 1: they were constantly twisting that it was a constant twist twist, Yes,
Speaker 1: let's twist constantly and forever. Anyways, the FBI is going
Speaker 1: to investigate Harris County Jail. This is something that families
Speaker 1: of victims have been asking for because thirty two detainees
Speaker 1: have died in the jail within a fourteen month period.
Speaker 1: It's it's monsters, It's unbelievable. It's like hard to fathom
Speaker 1: that this is happening, was happening people were like, this
Speaker 1: is happening, and then it kept happening. One of the
Speaker 1: more recent victims, Jacoby Pillow, died from compression astphyxia from
Speaker 1: being restrained, similar to George Floyd. And there's this quote,
Speaker 1: So the FBI is opening the investigation because the sheriff
Speaker 1: was finally like, hey, like, yeah, this doesn't this is
Speaker 1: not good like and the sheriff finally asked the FBI
Speaker 1: was like, we need to get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 1: But there's this like one of the attorneys, Ben Crump
Speaker 1: and Paul Grinky made a statement, you know, while requesting
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice open an investigations, that it's appalling
Speaker 1: that you could have thirty two detainees die in the
Speaker 1: Harris County jail in a fourteen month period. I mean,
Speaker 1: nobody would really believe it unless you have these bodies
Speaker 1: that showed you it was really happening. And I feel
Speaker 1: like I keep running into this sentiment where it's, you know,
Speaker 1: like the the bleakness of like Florida schools have banned
Speaker 1: all books and are selectively Like we talked ab this
Speaker 1: on yesterday's episode. They have selected books total that are
Speaker 1: okay for the entire K through twelve in one of
Speaker 1: their places. So like but you you kind of like
Speaker 1: you hear that and you're like, but that can't be true, right,
Speaker 1: And so like I needed to actually see somebody on
Speaker 1: Twitter whose name is like Brian jags Fan, Brian just
Speaker 1: taking a video of his kids school library with all
Speaker 1: the shelves being completely empty for me to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's really the end. This is like it's really the
Speaker 1: dystopia the Ohio trained around it. Like again, like people
Speaker 1: are just like this is just there's like true American
Speaker 1: chernobyl in the middle of the country, and the mainstream
Speaker 1: media is completely ignoring it and letting Pete Buddha Jedge,
Speaker 1: whose like department it is, who's like the only person
Speaker 1: who's supposed to be able to keep you know, actually
Speaker 1: punish these people. He's going on the Sunday shows and
Speaker 1: answering questions about the state of the Union. Like the
Speaker 1: worst thing about it is the well not maybe not
Speaker 1: the worst thing about it, but one of the most
Speaker 1: insane things about that is the amount of like Pete
Speaker 1: defenders there are out there, and they think we're all
Speaker 1: mad about the Iowa Caucuses. Yeah, yeah, they think we're
Speaker 1: still mad about Iowa. I don't give a funk about Iowa. No,
Speaker 1: I'm still mad about it, that's true. But no, not
Speaker 1: mad about South Carolina. But that's a different story. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: not mad about a lot of things. But yeah, with
Speaker 1: the with the pete stuff. The new line of the
Speaker 1: Pete defender is um Actually, there's like there's usually about
Speaker 1: on average a thousand trail a thousand train derailments a year.
Speaker 1: So we're good here. So we're good. And I'm just like,
Speaker 1: you understand how insane that sounds, right, Like the idea
Speaker 1: that like, oh no, it's okay. As the Department of
Speaker 1: Transportation head, he should continue the status quo of trains
Speaker 1: derailing and causing many chernobyls around the world. That's fine.
Speaker 1: There's uh in our discord Verruca assault in the discord.
Speaker 1: Should this medium post that they were like this? I
Speaker 1: keep thinking of this post by injury injury hit Maria
Speaker 1: Jeeva or samara Eva injury hit Samaraiva, who lived through
Speaker 1: this sur launking collapse and said that sort of this
Speaker 1: sort of dissonance is what it feels like to live
Speaker 1: through a society that is crumbling, and it's it's really
Speaker 1: like it's an interesting medium. Public look off to the
Speaker 1: medium post in the footnotes, but not the show that's
Speaker 1: that's so I had to do it, like the author
Speaker 1: like posts like pictures from there, you know, photo role
Speaker 1: at the time, and it's like a game of scrabble
Speaker 1: they're playing, and then like a burning body left out
Speaker 1: in front of their workplace, and then like, uh, you
Speaker 1: know a live show that they went to, and then
Speaker 1: like a mall that got bombed that they were just
Speaker 1: like driving driving past, and they're just like the They're like,
Speaker 1: you don't. There's not this moment where suddenly the news
Speaker 1: is like okay, things are officially bad. There's no launch
Speaker 1: party for decay is a direct quote. It's just a
Speaker 1: pile up of outrages and atrocities in between friendships and
Speaker 1: weddings and perhaps an unusual amount of alcohol. Perhaps you're
Speaker 1: waiting for some moment when the adrenaline kicks in and
Speaker 1: you're fighting the virus or fascism all the time. But
Speaker 1: it's not like that. Life is not a movie, and
Speaker 1: if it were, you're certainly not the star. You're just
Speaker 1: an extra. If something good or bad happens to you,
Speaker 1: it'll be random, and no one will care. That's actually
Speaker 1: how I've always viewed myself. Yeah, Like you ever seen
Speaker 1: War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise. Yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: scene where like the aliens show up and they're just
Speaker 1: like dissolving people into ash and he's like running through
Speaker 1: like ash piles and stuff. Yeah. I've always looked at
Speaker 1: myself as like, yeah, I would be the ash. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm the ash that like he wipes off he still
Speaker 1: in the movies. My parents would be so proudly yea.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's just I don't know, people, people keep
Speaker 1: having this and my brain keeps having this where it's
Speaker 1: like you almost like can't believe how bad it's gotten overnight.
Speaker 1: Like we we don't have the level of oversight and
Speaker 1: consequence and accountability that we had under George W. Bush
Speaker 1: when like Katrina happened and like that Brownie got fired.
Speaker 1: Like instead of that, we've just got people like not
Speaker 1: even being asked questions the fucking on like meet the
Speaker 1: press or whatever. Yeah, it's just everything, you know, like
Speaker 1: it's a consequence of a lot of things that include
Speaker 1: ship that was going on during George W. Bush's time.
Speaker 1: So it's like, yeah, it's it's all it's all led
Speaker 1: up to this moment accumulation. Accumulation used to be good,
Speaker 1: and it's just like the accumulation has gotten to a
Speaker 1: point where everything is like so so many things are
Speaker 1: falling apart, and people are just kind of like I
Speaker 1: don't know if everyone's dug in on there, like you know,
Speaker 1: they're in particular whatever you know, content they're consuming that's
Speaker 1: telling them who the good guys are and the bad
Speaker 1: guys are. It's like everyone's dug in. So if you're
Speaker 1: told like, oh, all the bad guys hate Pete bouddhag Edge,
Speaker 1: so you have to love Pete Buddha Gedge in order
Speaker 1: to you know, fight the bad guys. And it's just
Speaker 1: like or you could just like, you know, you could
Speaker 1: live with an actual opinion on things that doesn't have
Speaker 1: anything to do with your particular content choices. I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's all it's all insane, Yeah, like there's too much
Speaker 1: of this side or that side to it all. But
Speaker 1: and I definitely used to be like more guilty of that,
Speaker 1: like just being like, well, democrats are better than Republicans,
Speaker 1: so like stop saying things that are raging to democrats.
Speaker 1: But like I don't know. Yeah, as things have gotten
Speaker 1: worse and more just evident, it feels like there is
Speaker 1: I don't know how sophisticated is, but it definitely is
Speaker 1: kind of enveloping and just like everywhere the like whatever
Speaker 1: the opposite of edge it prop is like Zanni prop
Speaker 1: like what like just just whatever the propaganda is this
Speaker 1: like calm down, move along. This isn't out of the ordinary.
Speaker 1: Trained railments happen all the time. That black cloud and
Speaker 1: like chickens dying and everybody having to move out of
Speaker 1: the city is not that abnormal. Go read white noise.
Speaker 1: Uh I love move along, folks. Nothing to see here,
Speaker 1: but with like a lady painting nail emoji next to
Speaker 1: it and class signs in between. Cool. Right now you're
Speaker 1: speaking my language is like barely a person you're not.
Speaker 1: He's the most robotic human being I've ever seen. Like
Speaker 1: there's not a person who's like that prepared for everything
Speaker 1: while giving you absolutely nothing. Um, he's just trying to
Speaker 1: be like the Democratic Party. He's well, he's also the
Speaker 1: highest form of capitalist, like this capitalist system, which is
Speaker 1: Mackenzie and the consulting arm that is like everything can
Speaker 1: just be explained by like improving how this does in
Speaker 1: the market, and like everything is the market to free ideas,
Speaker 1: but it's not. It's it's all tilted in the direction
Speaker 1: of you know, capital and whatever it's going to take
Speaker 1: to allow people to make the most money and accumulate
Speaker 1: the most property or sales or when the fun and
Speaker 1: just irrespective human life. You know who my favorite uh
Speaker 1: Democrat is, Oh whoever runs against Biden? Yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 1: can't fucking wait, the balls they won't even be able
Speaker 1: to walk. He or she's balls are going to be
Speaker 1: so big. Yeah, that'll be That will be a lot
Speaker 1: of fun too, especially watching the same Pete defenders go
Speaker 1: try to use the same arguments with Biden, because everything
Speaker 1: we know with Pete is just you know, like you
Speaker 1: just hate that he is the future of the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party and blah blah blah. And with Biden, it's just like,
Speaker 1: you know, they're now going to have to go back
Speaker 1: to like, wow, agism much and you're like, no, motherfucker,
Speaker 1: he's he truly is an old, useless man. It's oh god,
Speaker 1: the person who runs against him is not like kahm,
Speaker 1: it's just something even further centrist, like I hope it's
Speaker 1: somebody that's true, that there's a chance that it will
Speaker 1: just be like this guy's a communist Cloba char is ready. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, by Legoyevitch read my lips, blego Yevitch,
Speaker 1: get the pop filter in place. All right, we'll be
Speaker 1: back to talk about some bullshit in a moment. And
Speaker 1: we're back. And so there's some there's some lighthearted news
Speaker 1: I don't know, dumb, dumb, lighthearted bullshit such as that
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers. I believe is that the Yeah, they're they're like,
Speaker 1: we are their studio. They're a studio. And they just
Speaker 1: announced that two projects coming that are very fun and
Speaker 1: very much warners, the sequel to I Am Legend with
Speaker 1: Will Smith and Michael B. Jordan's but they're bringing Will
Speaker 1: he died though I know. So this is what's this
Speaker 1: is what's interesting. So the first movie the the whole
Speaker 1: point of the book that this movie is based on.
Speaker 1: It's called I Am Legend. And these are spoilers for
Speaker 1: anyone who doesn't have it, hasn't seen the alternate two
Speaker 1: thousand and eight ending, but that that is what this
Speaker 1: This is a sequel to the alternate ending that they
Speaker 1: shot and then had to change because it tested so
Speaker 1: badly because Americans are like, no, we're not dad, guys.
Speaker 1: It tested worse than Will Smith dying at the end. Yes,
Speaker 1: because so here it's called I Am Legend because it
Speaker 1: turns out in the end he like confronts the vampires,
Speaker 1: and the vampires are like, we're just trying to get
Speaker 1: our child, who you have captive and are like performing
Speaker 1: medical experiments. Thing you sick, fuck like give us that back.
Speaker 1: And then it turns out he like there's this like
Speaker 1: voiceover where he's like, that's when I realized I am
Speaker 1: the monster of their world, Like I am the legend,
Speaker 1: Like I am Legend refers to him being a legendary
Speaker 1: ul monster. He is Dracula and they are. Even though
Speaker 1: the the entire film that's spent with you thinking, or
Speaker 1: the entire novel that this is like a bunch of vampires,
Speaker 1: they are the monsters. It's like, no, I am the
Speaker 1: legendary monster. I am legend. They shot that. That makes
Speaker 1: so much more sense. I just realized. You watch a
Speaker 1: whole movie that's just called I Rule and you're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's cool that guy. Yeah. They so they shot that,
Speaker 1: they like, and you're like yeah, it turns it into
Speaker 1: like a lazy rap bright like it's like instead instead
Speaker 1: of like the very cool point of like it self
Speaker 1: implication stuff like that. So they cut that turned it
Speaker 1: into him blowing himself up. But now they're like, people
Speaker 1: are ready for the original ending where he's a monster.
Speaker 1: It takes place like twenty thirty years after the original
Speaker 1: alternate ending, and like presupposes that or maybe they'll just
Speaker 1: like cram that ending onto the beginning of this movie.
Speaker 1: I don't know why they need to fall all over
Speaker 1: themselves trying to justify why this movie is. That's what
Speaker 1: moviemaking is. Now. It's like, didn't that guy die? And
Speaker 1: then the responses, fuck you, the movie's planned. You want
Speaker 1: to see it? You do? Yeah, it's because it has
Speaker 1: to be attached to some sort of i P that
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, we gotta make sure whatever it is
Speaker 1: just cannon And it's like, but you can just make
Speaker 1: another movie and just be about whatever, and they're like, no,
Speaker 1: not if we want the sweet I P. Like like
Speaker 1: everything that happens in the Last of Us, there's like,
Speaker 1: you know, articles about how it relates to the video game,
Speaker 1: Like I don't care. I don't care that it was
Speaker 1: a video game. Guess what. This is a TV show.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm doing. It does nothing, has to be anything.
Speaker 1: It's a great idea, shut up about it. But when
Speaker 1: I do a video game, it does different things. So
Speaker 1: how am I supposed to play video game? I did
Speaker 1: a whole thread on Twitter that started off with uh,
Speaker 1: talking about how it's really pissed that it, Uh, it
Speaker 1: wasn't faithful to the you know, to the original game,
Speaker 1: and then every point in the threat is like, um,
Speaker 1: he has a knife when he is supposed to be
Speaker 1: meticulously searching through drawers in order to craft to shift. Uh,
Speaker 1: there should be at least two episodes spent on him
Speaker 1: just trying to find rolls of tape and half cut
Speaker 1: out pieces of plastic bottles, just because people are literally
Speaker 1: insane about the amount of like, uh, they're they're sucking
Speaker 1: up my memories of a game from just a few
Speaker 1: years ago, right, should be real time? Yea, right, that's right.
Speaker 1: So anyways, I don't know, I'm I'm all for Michael B.
Speaker 1: Jordan's being added to any film. Yeah, literally, like between
Speaker 1: the two options of them just being like and we're
Speaker 1: gonna stay with the thing where it's about somebody who
Speaker 1: is so cool that we had to call the movie
Speaker 1: I Am Legend, or them being like, all right, we
Speaker 1: can admit we fucked that up, and we're gonna make
Speaker 1: this equal that unfucked it up a little bit. I'm
Speaker 1: good with I'm good with this, especially if you're cann
Speaker 1: add Michael B. Jordan to it, because he's great And
Speaker 1: if you really love Michael B. Jordan's you should see
Speaker 1: him in The Wire, the greatest show of all time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you might have a podcast about that. May may
Speaker 1: not have a The Wire I watch podcast, doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: The point is watch. There's a lot of people I
Speaker 1: haven't seen The Wires fucking blush it. Yeah. Season four,
Speaker 1: the Education season, oh so good. Yeah. I think that's
Speaker 1: the best season of television, although I do also really
Speaker 1: like season two and five. Yeah, yeah, I like those
Speaker 1: ones too. Five is a slow burn little Cotty on
Speaker 1: the back yeah. Five. Yeah, definitely Patty on the backy.
Speaker 1: But five becomes more and more genius the more times
Speaker 1: you watch it because you can get pass the like
Speaker 1: press part of it. Oh, once you get past the
Speaker 1: press part of it and realize, especially in the moment
Speaker 1: we're living in now in which print media is all
Speaker 1: but dead, and you go like, yeah, I guess, like,
Speaker 1: you know, even though they are patting themselves on her back,
Speaker 1: on the back they did have they do have a
Speaker 1: very crucial role in society. You know, newspapers, local local journalists,
Speaker 1: people who actually go to state courthouses or local city
Speaker 1: you know, council meetings. And now that I think about it,
Speaker 1: I think that's my complaint was that it was like
Speaker 1: the journalistic malpractice was like too blatant and silly, and yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh wait, no, yeah, rewatch it. Yeah, igah,
Speaker 1: I think I just have to rewatch it, like we
Speaker 1: watched it now and realized that it's like, oh no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: this is a prettty real. It's funny to think about
Speaker 1: the water cooler on the Soprano or on the wire set,
Speaker 1: and now everyone around the water cooler has an English accent. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that just they also, you know, let's be real, some
Speaker 1: of them still have an English accent when they're trying
Speaker 1: to do an American accent in a while. Mcn from
Speaker 1: close enough. But I am legends. Great, you know what
Speaker 1: make more, make more? More? Legend? Rules I watched it.
Speaker 1: I think last year I made Lyra watch it for
Speaker 1: the first time because it was one of those movies
Speaker 1: where I wanted to rewatch it, but she would just
Speaker 1: you know, you get like, I don't want to see
Speaker 1: that in your head no matter what it is. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good movie. It's hard to make a good
Speaker 1: movie with one actor. Yes, right, yeah it is. It's um,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember what the plan was. I know,
Speaker 1: I remember he's looking for a cure. Still, that's just yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got like his wife, right, like his wife kids
Speaker 1: are I think I thought that flew to a helicopter
Speaker 1: and he watches him blow up in a helicopter. He's
Speaker 1: like playing golf, you know, he's hitting balls off the
Speaker 1: end of a big Yeah, at the end of a
Speaker 1: big ship. The big thing I remember from I um
Speaker 1: legend is my feelings about it. We're like, God, damn it.
Speaker 1: I wish I was me because I would just just
Speaker 1: be raiding pharmacies. There's back. I saw it back when
Speaker 1: I used to do a lot of drugs. But it
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, just like I would go to all
Speaker 1: the pharmacies and be like hook it up and just
Speaker 1: uh yeah, that's how I'd live my life alone. I
Speaker 1: feel like so much of our desire for a post
Speaker 1: apocalyptic world. And I say desire because it is like
Speaker 1: it's fantasy, wish fulfillment. Like people are like, oh, it's scary,
Speaker 1: and like I don't want all my loved ones to die,
Speaker 1: but like it. But I think it's all about having
Speaker 1: a walkable city. Like it's just a city that you
Speaker 1: can like walk through and not be worried that a
Speaker 1: car is going to run you down. Like that. There's
Speaker 1: something so beautiful about that, Like just banned all cars tomorrow.
Speaker 1: The world would be a beautiful place. It would be
Speaker 1: so fun. From the wish fulfillment for me is just
Speaker 1: a little bit of alone time away from the nagging wife,
Speaker 1: Am I right? I mean it is. It is dad cast.
Speaker 1: So I was looking at the wickie. I think it's
Speaker 1: just a woman he has in the basement that he's
Speaker 1: trying to cure. Well, I don't know who she is,
Speaker 1: and it's a little weird. He's just got a woman
Speaker 1: his basement. But he's the only person alive, you know what,
Speaker 1: no rules? Uh, So he had a rat, he has
Speaker 1: a rat he's trying to save her whatever, and he's
Speaker 1: like doing experiments and has a hard time. He has
Speaker 1: a strange disfort where he can't determine the difference between
Speaker 1: a human and a rat. That explains the the people
Speaker 1: is just comments earlier, just fucking rat. Alright, Well, it's
Speaker 1: been a it's been a successful dad cast. I think absolutely.
Speaker 1: We didn't talk about kids at all, so that's all
Speaker 1: I do all days, talking about fucking baby stuff. Man,
Speaker 1: is my kids one hundred day of kindergarten and they
Speaker 1: they're celebrating that, oh, the first one hundred days, one
Speaker 1: hundred days exactly, and I'm very excited it's been. It's
Speaker 1: been had me in a happy mood all day that
Speaker 1: they made it to it. You your wife is Korean? Yes?
Speaker 1: Is that so that I'm that the Hunter days is
Speaker 1: a Korean thing that is a hundred days rather than years. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And also everyone in the country that's born in one
Speaker 1: year is the exact same birthday whatever, and everyone's a year,
Speaker 1: although I think they're changing that. Yeah, I mean it's
Speaker 1: not like that. We we just celebrate the first year
Speaker 1: actually like that. That's a big celebration. Hundred days is
Speaker 1: a big deal, and then the one year birthday is
Speaker 1: when you know they've really made it. And that's uh yeah,
Speaker 1: that was like, Yeah, I've got a Korean nephew, so
Speaker 1: I'm up on the hundred two hundred days. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: thought it was just a press did any thing President? Well,
Speaker 1: we look back at the first hundred days and we
Speaker 1: see if the kid actually accomplished anything that's right, or
Speaker 1: if they need to go to a trade kindergarten. There's
Speaker 1: like a fun thing the dull the first year birthday,
Speaker 1: where like you lay out different things for them to
Speaker 1: like then crawl towards and supposedly it like determines what
Speaker 1: their career is going to be. Very much. It reminds
Speaker 1: me of the beginning of liquid Swords that, you know,
Speaker 1: where like they picked the dolly Llama. Yeah, it's kind
Speaker 1: of it's kind of like that. It's pretty it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: So my son is going to be either a judge
Speaker 1: or a carpenter because he crawled toward a hammer. Black
Speaker 1: smoke or white smoke, Yeah, exactly, Nick, truly a pleasure
Speaker 1: having you. Where can people find you? Follow you? I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be in Denver this weekend at the Denver Comedy
Speaker 1: Lounge and uh in March. I'm going to be in
Speaker 1: Santa Cruz. I'm gonna be in Salem, Oregon. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be in Seattle, Washington, and I'm adding some San Francisco.
Speaker 1: But I've I've got an album to prepare for, so
