Starting point is 00:04:25 Go ahead. No, no, no. First gift I want to give is to Cutie Cinderella. And this is more of a symbolic gift and a plug. Cutie Cinderella is doing her Beyblade tournament again on the 13th. And this is part of the gift. 15th. 16th?
Starting point is 00:04:42 You said the 13th. It's on Thursday. Uh-oh. What? Okay. I will be there with bells on, and I will retain my title, and that is my gift to you. Because I'm the greatest Beyblade of all time. Now, I'll go get the other two. That's amazing.

Starting point is 00:05:31 That is going to be brought on by the Dems after they, you know. But I know you've looked at these before, and I know you're an MRE guy, and I thought in the paywall portion we could try one of these ready-made apocalypse meals. Wait, so it's for the apocalypse, but we try one of these ready-made apocalypse meals. It's for the apocalypse, but we're going to eat it before the apocalypse. We're just getting ready. What if the apocalypse comes and we don't have any more food
Starting point is 00:05:54 left because we ate it all in the podcast? That is not your bucket. That's true. Fuck him. That's crazy. He's already taken ownership of my bucket. I thought it would be good paywall portion. I like that this is so American. It says children can fall into the bucket and drown.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Keep children away from the bucket or even a small amount of liquid. Because even when the world ends, they're worried about a massive class action lawsuit. And then my last gift is for Austin's show. And it's something I made. It's something I want you to wear. I spent a lot of time on it. And I think you can wear it maybe when you go out. I'll bring it in.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Oh, my God. I'm so excited. While he's bringing that out, I also got you a gift. Really? I'll give you that one. Oh, my God. It's like Christmas. Oh, never mind.
Starting point is 00:06:38 He's got it. Oh, my God. It's everything that I ever wanted. Oh, wow. You made that? I worked so hard on it. So don't leave it on the set.

I can't believe you made it. No. Wait, Democratic vote. Cutie, do you like the hat? I like that hat. I can't believe you made it.
Starting point is 00:07:27 My hair looks good today. Can we just enjoy it? Do you think Austin can wear it? I have empathy. I will not make him. The empathetics part of me says yeah, don't make him wear the hat. But the content part of me says put the hat on. But just in a second.
Starting point is 00:07:44 I'll put it on in a second. Anyway, gifts for everybody. He's not going to put it on. He's going to forget. Austin, this is something you have to put on. Okay. But my print shirt. I got you an authentic.

Starting point is 00:08:36 who were wondering i did start a fansly you look very gay in this shirt thank you well there'll be any penetration on the fans uh So as of now, there is no penetration on my fans.

But how have you guys been doing enough about me?
Starting point is 00:09:02 Huh? Oh, what's been going on with you guys i missed you all i really did yeah uh that's a great question what could what has been going on nothing has happened in the world as significant since you've been gone really take care of my folks oh yeah yep well i have a story i'll tell you you. Okay. I now drink Dr. Pepper. I drink Dr. Pepper Zero Sugar. I hate you. Yeah, wow.
Starting point is 00:09:28 I started, I ventured into it. I'm a full-fledged soda boy now. You've always been a full-fledged soda boy. I was, but I never really ventured into the Dr. Pepper territory until this time around, until recently after J.D. Vance said people are calling him racist for drinking Diet Mountain Dew. I was like, you know, I don't want to come across as a racist. So I went and got Dr. Pepper, strawberries and cream, and I really fucked with it.
Starting point is 00:09:52 That's a refrigerator guy. Yeah. And couch fucker guy. Yeah. Yeah. Keep me up with the memes. Yeah. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Okay. Well, I have a bunch of stories that we could get to. First and foremost, if you would want to, if you want to tell your story. Yeah could get to first and foremost. If you want to tell your story, let me guess. It's an airport related story. How did you know? Shocker. I need you guys
Starting point is 00:10:16 to be my jury here because I need to know if I was in the wrong or not. Because I could have been in the wrong. But I went No, this is not a lame story. No, he came in hot. He came in, he wanted to leak it on the stream. I was like, no, Austin, you should keep it.
Starting point is 00:10:32 I almost got into a fight on an airplane today. Okay. So I board my flight and I'm in comfort plus. Okay. Because everybody switched it up on me and I had to book a last minute flight and there was no other seats available. So I was in a middle seat in comfort plus. I had a laptop bag and a backpack. I walk in, all the bins are shut, okay?
Starting point is 00:10:57 But I know because I fly all the time that there's always a little space that I could squeeze my bag into. Sure. Right? always a little space that I could squeeze my bag into. Sure. Right. So I start opening the bins, you know, just looking mind in my own business and, uh, trying to find a spot. And a lady turns around and she goes, sir, if the bins closed, it means there's no room in it. And I go, oh, well, ma'am, I just usually, I can, usually I can find a little spot in the in the space and the thing. And she goes, well, you're not supposed to do that.
Starting point is 00:11:31 And she was rude. And I didn't like it. Yeah. All attention was on me because I was the last person to sit down. Sure. So I turn around and I say, why don't you mind your own damn business? Oh, no. I did.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Wait, did she work with the airline? No. But neither does he. Yeah. Well, I told her, I said, mind your own business. And her husband didn't like that very much. Okay. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:11:58 And he said, hey. He was kind of a dorky dad. And he said, hey, pal, watch it. That's why I got a word for your bad face fade. Yeah. And I said, okay. And opened a bin and put my bags in a slot like I always do. Because I found a slot, shut the bin, turned on my noise canceling headphones,
Starting point is 00:12:19 and sat down and minded my own damn business. On second thought, put the hat on. Why? No, you definitely got to put that hat on. Why? Because it came with an airport story and it wasn't true. What? You broke it!
Starting point is 00:12:34 You broke the hat! You broke a piece of the hat. Put it on. Put it on. Do you know how many countless hours Will spent on that? You didn't like my story? What? It was all right? It was alright.
Starting point is 00:12:46 It was good, Austin. As a family, Austin, you've been gone for a month and you were so excited to tell a story. I thought it was maybe about your escapades. Yeah. No, it was about today. I'm sorry for disappointing you all.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Put the hat on. Disappointing is the wrong word. That's content. You look good. This is so heavy. Your neck was heavy. It's so fucking heavy. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:13:17 I'm starting to feel lightheaded already. Yeah, it's pretty good. Can I say something? But don't you think people need to mind their own fucking business they do she was a karen she was can i say something what we missed you i missed you too we missed you there's so much more agreeable with the hat on thank you because he can't nod his head no yeah so i kind of look good i will say this i think i think you you gave a little bit of lip. I did.
Starting point is 00:13:48 You probably shouldn't have escalated, but then they escalated back. Yeah. But then you deflated them entirely by just doing the damn thing. Yeah. Proving your point. Well, yeah. And I think this goes to show that people in general need to mind their own business. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Especially Republicans. Okay. I like that. He's so lived up. So lived up. Can we leak that Ricky Martin followed you followed you on instagram oh yeah yeah i forgot about that happen i would love to live the vita loca i i have no idea but like i found out about it because like one of my ladies cut that really you can't say i love taco bell isn't that they're saying no it was. That's Liv Moss. Oh.
Starting point is 00:14:27 I don't know Spanish. I'm really sorry. Holy shit. I don't think we need to cut that, do we? I really don't know Spanish. I think that's funny. I think everyone here, it's just Spanish. Now that she explained living La Vida Loca is what she thought the Taco Bell slogan was. Liv Moss and La Vida Loca.
Starting point is 00:14:42 It's living something. Oh, you thought she was being racist. I'm never being racist. No. That's her default position. You're Mormon. It's okay. It's all right. No. Okay. Did you DM him? No. Did you follow him back?
Starting point is 00:14:58 No. What? You didn't follow back Ricky fucking Martin? I don't know. That's Ricky fucking Martin. Do I have to follow him back? Yes. Okay, I will do that. Outside, inside, out.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Little Vila Loca. That's that guy. No, I know. Do you see how we all just sang along? Yeah. So here's how I found out. I posted it on Instagram, like another reel, right? I think it was like about something that was going on in politics.
Starting point is 00:15:23 And every one of the comments was like, it's crazy that Ricky Martin liked this. And it had like 400 likes. I was like, what the fuck? So I looked at it and I found out that, yeah, he follows me. That's Ricky M. You can take it off now.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Oh no, put it back on your hair. No, she's busy. I will fix it though, just briefly. it back on your hair. No, she's being mean. I will fix it, though, just briefly. The hat or the hair? The hair needs to... I think I have to glue this back on. Sorry, I'm so sorry. I mean, Will needs to.
Starting point is 00:15:53 I mean, Will needs to. Yeah, thank you for taking care of my gift. Yeah, I didn't... I don't know. I didn't want to... I didn't want to feel like I was fanboying over Ricky. Wait, but by following him back, you're not fanboying. You're just returning.
Starting point is 00:16:06 I'm going to do it right now. I'm going to do it right now. Do it right now. I can't believe that was even a thought. Yeah. How do you not follow Ricky Martin back? I also kind of forgot about it after I told you guys. That's a good story, though.
Starting point is 00:16:17 You're so famous. Until this moment. Okay, you said you had stories. What other stories you got for us? Yeah, I may hope it's better than my plane story. This is going to be bad. It's going to be bad, unfortunately, because it's like airplane related but there was a i don't want to be an outcast here but i'd like to hear it yeah i i this is this one is a soft
Starting point is 00:16:37 served for austin no a massive airplane crash happened we have fucking had it with these why is it an airplane crash too it's a massive one oh great in brazil look at a brazil we have fucking had it why is it an airplane crash too it's a massive one in brazil look at a brazil airplane crash oh no cutie and i are both afraid of planes there's no plane uh cutie i've already looked at the plane i've already looked up the the there's a video of it crashing um what happened it it definitely uh well let's watch the video first it's all over close your eyes um there was a plane crash it was atr 72 uh which is a twin uh propeller passenger plane seats about 70 people there's a video of it just literally falling out of the sky. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It looks fake.
Starting point is 00:17:26 No, it's real. And I can tell you. How did that happen? I can tell you by the look of that, it stalled. So when you stall, you just lose lift completely, and you just fall from the sky. So it was on takeoff. I don't know what point of the flight it was on. Because if it was going down, it would just glide, no?
Starting point is 00:17:43 No. You can stall at any point. Okay. I mean, this is. I'm sorry. If it was going down, it would just glide. No, you can stall at any point. Okay. I'm sorry. She's never going to fly. No, no, no. That's crazy. You know what's crazy? It's my grandma's 93rd birthday on Sunday and I was thinking of flying for the day. I'm not now.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Thanks, Hassan! I didn't know about this. I don't go on Twitter anymore. I mean, look, it was they actually just came out. It was AI. No. What happened?
Starting point is 00:18:09 They haven't said? I'm not going to. I can tell you. It's too late. I can tell you, Cutie, it was a stall. That was a stall of some sort. What do you know about it? I don't know anything.
Starting point is 00:18:16 I just saw the video, and I was like, I can't wait to talk to Austin about this on the podcast. It looks like a stall. I don't know what the weather was like in Brazil right now. I don't know how cold it was, but it could be potentially. I can look it up. Or we can look at the story. There was a flight that. No.
Starting point is 00:18:31 I don't want to get too nerdy. I'm sorry. No, it's okay. Go into it. No, I'm just dying on a plane is the worst. I know. So I don't know what happened. I honestly have no idea, but it just looks like a stall of some sort.
Starting point is 00:18:43 And a stall means you just lose lift completely. and that would explain the plane just literally falling out of the sky it had no lift it had no um it wasn't able to fly at all yes okay that makes sense okay so what happens is is when ice builds up on the wings it changed the it changes the aerodynamics of the plane supposed to de-ice yes they, they are. And they're also supposed to have anti-icing capabilities on the planes. That's why they all have them. So that's why you de-ice planes is because when ice
Starting point is 00:19:12 builds up on the wings, it changes the aerodynamics. How is it icy? It's hot outside. They're in a different hemisphere. They're in a different hemisphere, yeah. So it's cold? Yeah. Like right now? Yeah. So this reminds me there was a crash. Typically, it needs to be cold for there to be ice. I know.? Yeah. So this reminds me there was a crash. Typically, it needs to be cold for there to be ice. I know.
Starting point is 00:19:28 That's why I was confused. There was a crash of a commuter jet in like 2011 or something like that in New York. Yeah. And it was the same situation. Ice buildup changes the aerodynamics of the plane, changes the speed at which the plane will stall, the, like the, the shape of the wing essentially. So is it appropriate if I ever fly in the winter to raise my hand and say, hello, did you make sure to de-ice today? Oh, you know what's good though?
Starting point is 00:19:51 It's hot out. So you can still take your flight. You don't have to deal with that contention. I just saw that. That was crazy. But your grandmother, that looks awful. Your grand,
Starting point is 00:19:59 93 years old. Your grandmother's out there. I hope cutie Cinderella's coming. She won't notice. We can do Mormon things together. She's got so many grandkids. How many grandkids does she have? I don't know. A lot of us. There's a lot of us.
Starting point is 00:20:15 But she was really hanging on for you to come. She won't notice. Does she call you cutie Cinderella? Yeah, she does. By my legal name, she does. So, brick, man. Don't worry, though. It's gonna be okay. I'm too late. Cutie! What kind of plane was that? I'm fighting
Starting point is 00:20:31 against the dying of the light to see you one more time. I promise you will never be on a plane like that. Ugh, that was awful. They don't even really have them in the United States. Why did you do that, Hassan? Yeah, that was... I thought it would be an interesting topic of discussion. I didn't even know about it.
Starting point is 00:20:47 I almost lived my whole life never knowing about that crash. Do you have any other very dark, grim, horrifying topics? I have so many, but I'm not going to get into any of this stuff. I'm moving to Los Angeles. No. I am. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Sorry for trying. I believe. I am actually moving. I believe you.. All right. Sorry. I believe. Sorry for trying. I believe. I am actually moving. I believe you. Yeah. Will believes me. I don't believe you.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Okay. Fair. That's okay. Respectfully. Okay. All right. You don't believe me. Do you believe me?
Starting point is 00:21:18 Maybe. We'll see. Okay. You know what? I believe you. Sure. Why not? That's not belief. No. Why not? That's not belief. No, that is not.
Starting point is 00:21:28 That is not belief at all. Austin didn't even let me know that he was staying at my place tonight. He just kind of ordered food ahead of time and was like, don't be spooked. I ordered food to your place. Oh, I think about Hassan ordering food to Hassan. It's like playing Russian roulette. Your food gets stolen 40% of the time. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:43 If your food sits out in front of his house for more than five minutes, it gets stolen. Interesting. Every single time. We're feeding the poor. I have drama from this week. I don't know if you guys know anything about movies or Girly Pop Nation, but Colleen Hoover,
Starting point is 00:22:01 Shirley related to President Hoover from back in the day. She released a book forever Hoover, surely related to President Hoover from back in the day. Surely. She released a book forever called It Ends With Us. Did you guys ever hear about it? No. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:15 So the girly pops ate that shit up. It was like the first book in a long time with the same level of like enthusiasm as like Fifty Shades of Grey. It's not as smutty as Fifty Shades of Grey, but it was just like all these white women were reading this book, right? Like everyone there, oh, have you read it? It ends with us. It's so fucking good. Hot take for me, I'm sorry. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:22:35 It's not that good. Not smutty enough for you. Well, like, so the main character, her name is Lily Bloom, and she works at a flower shop. What's wrong with that? It's just a little on the nose okay good chance you know and the whole if you haven't read the book it's about an abusive
Starting point is 00:22:52 relationship and so it was like and it kind of romanticizes it a little bit and it's just a little crazy and everyone was like maybe this shouldn't have the traction it has because it's like a little problematic it's a little problematic but it's like it's not that it's not you know whatever sure anyway so it gets picked up to be made into a movie yep and blake lively is starring in the movie she's also the executive producer on the film sure and then this guy named we look up his name marsh it starts with a j and it's hard for me to say javier bardem oh you know his name no i'm just throwing out a guy with a J name. I thought it was like Giordi or something. You couldn't figure out Javier Bardem's name? I don't know. I don't remember names.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Baba. I'm sorry. Baba. My dad's phone is just ringing all the time. Like literally all the time in the house. Justin Baldoni. Okay. So not only is he the director he's also the main
Starting point is 00:23:47 actor in the movie yeah okay right wow and i i haven't consulted my expert in the industry caroline to make sure i was getting all my facts right because i was like sure except for the name of the guy well i don't remember his name i don't remember i'm sorry i don't remember men okay yeah fair i wouldn't either i hate men thank you name 100 men i don't want to give men another 100 minutes of my life i'm out of principle i will not strange that that would take you 100 true uh so anyway justin is the director and the main man in it the abusive man in it okay and throughout all the interviews and publicity that they've done for this everyone kind of started noticing that justin would do it by himself
Starting point is 00:24:30 and then all the other cast members would do publicity and jenny slate who we love jenny slate she's great uh was it an interview where they like asked her about justin and she like very skillfully like dodged the question so So everyone's like, why is everyone being so weird about this? And then they looked into it and Blake Lively and Colleen Hoover, who wrote the goddamn both unfollowed Justin on Instagram. So it's like, okay, what's the tea? Interesting, right? Like this is the director and the guy in the movie. And it's like, and the movie came out today.
Starting point is 00:25:01 So we're all going to go see it right after this. It's going to be awesome. It's got 52% on Metacritic. And 57% on Rotten Tomatoes. So it's probably not doing well. But I guess it turns out, we still don't know for sure, but Blake Lively, they're planning for this to be her Oscar, her Oscar, which is funny. If you've ever seen Blake lively act.
Starting point is 00:25:29 Um, I love that bitch. I think she is very talented and very beautiful. I don't know. You don't think she's got Oscar potential. I don't maybe, maybe I'm being mean. Maybe I'm being mean, but I watched the movie with her when she was fighting a shark and it was crazy. It felt like it was you out there fighting that shark austin yeah no i don't think i'd be able to handle it no i mean no wait so what's the problem yeah what's that the show she
Starting point is 00:25:57 was on that's where she started that's gossip girl oh she was on gossip girl yeah oh misha okay you're right barton was yeah yeah okay i'm all mixed up what's the drama though like the drama seems like blake like kind of like kissed up to colleen hoover which is like the author so she kind of has a lot of say on it and like even even blake had like ryan come in and r Ryan Reynolds, her husband, even ended up writing. I like that you're talking about these people on a first name basis like you know them. I was bored. I was in a bit of a hole reading about this.
Starting point is 00:26:36 So he came in and he even wrote some of the scenes and like some of the script. And so like they all get buddy buddy with Colleen. And then when it comes down to the cut, you've got Justin's cut or Blake's cut. And Colleen is like, you know, big weight in this. And they end up going with like Blake's cut of the movie, even though he's the director. So everyone's like trying to figure out exactly like what happened. But that's all we know right now. Oh, I bet he was none too pleased about that.
Starting point is 00:27:01 But I believe in girly pop nation to figure it out. But also, at the same time, it seems like it still sucked. The movie? It seems like her cut sucked. Probably, yeah. There was another movie scandal this week. Borderlands debuted
Starting point is 00:27:17 with the worst Rotten Tomatoes score of all time coming out on its debut with a flat zero. Holy shit. That's the least shocking thing ever. I think on its debut with a flat zero. Holy shocking. I think it's up to a six now. Yeah. It's a shocking thing I've ever heard in my entire life because like, do you remember the trailer for it?
Starting point is 00:27:33 Oh yeah. It was so bad. I would, you know, what's crazy is that film has some of the great actresses of all time in it. And it, Jamie Lee Curtis,
Starting point is 00:27:44 uh, uh, Kate Blanchett, blanchett yeah um but they are so playing against type that it is like black and kevin hart it's well they i could see them in a movie like this but kate blanchett in a video game action movie after doing tar is like the most against before technically right i think it wasn't this like held up i mean but still it's kate fucking planchette no i know i know i'm just but they say like the cgi in this movie is abhorrent they say that the script is terrible like everything about this movie is apparently the trailer i think that everyone will understand well they
Starting point is 00:28:22 say that this movie is such a miss, and I think it had a $130 million budget. So there's some forecasting that this might go on the short lists of biggest flops of all time. I guess it's not a Universal property, but it could end up at like, what's that movie at Universal?
Starting point is 00:28:40 Fast and the Furious? No, the Waterworld. I said Waterworld is fire. I stand on Waterworld. Dennis Hopper's a good villain. I think Waterworld is actually an incredibly underrated movie and I suspect
Starting point is 00:28:56 I'm calling it right now. The greatest scene in that movie is when the guy opens up the jar and he's like, it's paper! Paper! I think that I remember you giving us that lesson. I think that that will be one of those movies
Starting point is 00:29:11 that will become like, it'll be Fight Club status, cult-like admiration for this movie. This movie? No, not this. Waterworld. It's been 30 years. No, listen. no. Not this. Waterworld. It's been 30 years. No, no.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Listen, listen. Here's why. Here's why. All it needs. It's older than Fight Club. We're just waiting. It's a fine one. Because Fight Club was not a box office hit at all. It became a cult classic afterwards.
Starting point is 00:29:37 True. After the fact. Part of that was because Fight Club was responsive to what the underlying resentment that this generation was feeling. I mean, when the ice caps start melting, people are going to be like, damn, they were on. They are already melting. That's why I was saying Waterworld. Waterworld, if you watch it with today's eyes with no prior introduction to it whatsoever, and you go into it now, you'd be like, oh, this movie's kind of prophetic. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:01 And really fucking good. It was very expensive at the time. It was a massive flub at the time. Kaya's licking my toes. I'm sorry. I'm trying to pay attention, but she's straight up like making out with my toes. Oh my God. Kaya.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Kaya, get out. Kaya, you freak. Let her stay. I like it. Get out of here. Just kidding. Wait, what? Kaya, please.
Starting point is 00:30:19 I didn't. I didn't. I was joking. I was joking. No, leave. I really hated it. I was trying to listen. I couldn't.
Starting point is 00:30:23 Don't do that. Oh, Kaya, stop. So what I was trying. I was joking. No, leave. I really hated it. I was trying to listen. I couldn't. Don't do that. Oh, Kaya, stop. So what I was trying to say. Baba. What I was trying to say is that I think like if Jen A gets a hold of it or Jen Z gets a hold of it, they will be like, this movie's a banger. So if they somehow figure out that was ever a movie. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:40 It's hard to find. Well, we're telling you. Go check it out now. Yeah. Yep. Well, ladies and gentlemen, now it's time for my part of the show Wait no let's watch the Borderlands trailer Oh yeah we can
Starting point is 00:30:52 Let's watch this trailer No no because It will be Like I watched the trailer and immediately I was like this is the worst thing that they've ever made Why did they make this? Oh my God. Dude. The queen.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Right there. That's enough to understand how shit this is. But is this, is she CGI? Everything is CGI in this movie. Oh my God. God, I hate this planet.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Wait, that's even a good acting. Shit. Well, no that's... I thought that was good acting. Well, no one's saying she's not a good actress. Fortunately, my design doesn't facilitate this type of... Well, destiny awaits. Legend has it that there's this massive treasure hidden in some secret vault. Pause it for a second down to the sound editing this is so of a different era like this movie should have been released like 10 15 years ago well you know what it is it is basically like a hard repackage of guardians of the galaxy yeah but for a video game property for a video game
Starting point is 00:32:05 property that like no one cares about that much and also with the jokes once again stuck in like 10 years in the past i thought maybe that's why it's rated bad because everyone cares about borderlands no do they not borderlands a pretty popular game yeah it is but like but so they're disappointed and let down and the gamers are going to the Metacritics and being like... No. No. Those are critic scores. Those are all critics. It's like the New York Times. It's like, this movie
Starting point is 00:32:33 sucks. How does one become a critic? You would be a good job. You think so? Yeah. You pointed to Austin and not Will for Will to be a good film critic? I think you're right. He knows too much. what i think a good film critic i think you i think you're right he he knows too much because i think we need a critic that's like a little loud for me yeah thank you you know dunker dunker kind of loud not enough shirtless men thank you this is top
Starting point is 00:33:00 10 anime betrayals this would be like this would be like if there was like a position opening for like Taylor Swift expert and I was like Austin? This is right up your alley. I mean I do think she's got a point. Just play the trailer. Okay. Take any help you can get. I will only defer
Starting point is 00:33:19 to Austin going forward on how he thinks about the trailer. Well I was out from the beginning. I don't think. I don't. But for other reasons, I just don't like it. Dumpster fire of a world in the universe. God, I hate this planet. Yeah, like all those jokes are so, they fall so flat. Like. Ew.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Put the window up. I don't want to. Roll the window up. It's pink. It's pink. Why do you think it's called piss wash? How did I get the name? It It's peep. It's peep. Why do you think it's called piss wash? How did I get the name? It's in my mouth.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Oh. All right. We've seen. I don't have to watch the rest of it. But yeah, it's so bad. For that reason, I'm out. I was out before it started. Oh, I'm glad we have your opinion.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Those piffy one-liners, like I said, it's very 2012, you know? Yeah. I'd be such a bad critic because I wouldn't be able to finish the movie. Yeah, that's how I feel. I'd be like, no. But maybe that would be my criticism. Yeah. Is I would be, I couldn't finish it.
Starting point is 00:34:18 It was too long. Yeah. Let's move into the next segment before I kill myself. What? Oh, okay. So we do a little segment here called America Me Up. Yes. Austin, do you remember that?
Starting point is 00:34:30 That's the segment that we do on the podcast. I remember it. Okay, good. Images of American leaders all across the screen. I just want to point to everyone that's listening right now. March walked in earlier when Austin was on the stream, and he literally did not recognize
Starting point is 00:34:45 March. He was like, who was that? No, this is ridiculous. Hassan, he's doing, he's been in politics so much. He like, he spins things like he's Fox fucking news. I, he walked in the house. I was looking, I was like faced away from him. And then Hassan's like, what's up?
Starting point is 00:35:01 Cause he doesn't ever call anybody by their name. And hey, it's a step he's saying what's up it's true he by that time marsh had passed the room and i went who was that and he's like oh my god you've been gone for three weeks you didn't recognize but he's trying to spin it this is what he does i'm pretty sure you i did not see him march is confirming right now that you guys made eye contact There's no fucking way Marsh isn't even looking at me right now No, March is looking at me right now
Starting point is 00:35:29 That's insane that I would be gone for three weeks And forget what Marsh looked like It's crazy that you did I did have COVID though The fuck? You didn't know I had COVID? You gave Biden COVID? No, I had COVID
Starting point is 00:35:44 He got it from Biden Why do you still't know I had COVID? You gave Biden COVID? No, I had COVID. He got it from Biden. No, I got it. I didn't get it. Why do you still sound like you have COVID? It's been, I have long COVID. I don't know. Okay, America me up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Okay. I'm ready to be America. This is going to be a first for America me up. What? Because the man we're going to talk about is not American. He's Australian. How dare you? Boo.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Oh, I know what you're going to talk about, but also it's valid. What? You do it then. Yeah. You fucking do it. You fucking do it. I'm not going to let him do it. 82-year-old Australian legend.
Starting point is 00:36:20 Yeah. Oh, damn it. I didn't think you had it. I'm sorry. We're synced up. We're synced up. I knew what you were gonna talk about before you brought it up sometimes i believe in a kind of cultural
Starting point is 00:36:31 like um you're born into one culture but your heart resonates with another kind of like austin in the 60s right or like me in japan yeah right i should have been born Japanese. That's not a country. Wait, that is a country. Wait, you said culture? Tell me that Japan doesn't have culture. It's not a country. I thought you were talking about years. This is worse than the Taco Bell.
Starting point is 00:36:59 I thought you were talking about I wish I was born in the 1830s. You are so... Oh, you want slaves. But without all the racists. There's other bad shit without the races. I'm just throwing a thing. Women were in love with eras where I would have not been accepted. You said the 60s.
Starting point is 00:37:15 I said the 60s. More like the 40s. 40s, whatever. And then you said Japan. Like them segregated schools. No, no, no. Like a more progressive 40s. I simply got confused, Your Honor.
Starting point is 00:37:28 Thank you for hearing me out. As I was saying, sometimes someone's spirit is so akin to another nation. And that's why we're going to talk about this man tonight. I'm going to say a phrase and tell me if it rings any bells with you. Succulent Chinese meal. i know exactly who you're talking about marsh go ahead and pull i know nothing this is this is this is a legendary man uh who unfortunately passed away a couple days prior to the age of 82 yeah well now i'm gonna be sad watching him mister just. Just so.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Unless he's bad. Let me give you a little background. Okay. No, you don't need background. Just watch. Then I'll give you background. Yeah. Let's.
Starting point is 00:38:15 You just assured me that I could speak. Sit down and saw the car. We're not assuring anything. I'm under arrest. I'm under what? Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest. Have a look at the headlock here. See that chap over there? Get your hand off my penis!
Starting point is 00:38:40 This is the bloke who got me on the penis before. Why did you do this to me? For what reason? What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal? Oh, that's some nice headlock, sir. Oh, I guess.
Starting point is 00:38:58 I see that you know your judo. What is happening? And you, sir, are you waiting to receive my limp penis? Now get your hands off me. What is going on? One of the, if not... One of the, if not the greatest arrest video of all time.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Okay, so Jack Carlson, I'm going to give you a little background. Now I've been doing research and he actually did an interview two years ago with New Zealand today where he gave kind of the most accurate account of that day in his life. But the man's life is shrouded in mystery because he lies a lot and admits that he lies a ton. So what we know is that he was at one point a bank robber. Now he's never admitted to being a bank robber, but he said he would go into banks and blow the safes open, but he never considered himself a
Starting point is 00:40:00 robber because he didn't use a gun. So he was, he was a bank robber and he would frequent this restaurant. And apparently someone had been using stolen credit cards to buy food there. And because he had this criminal past, they assumed it was him. It turned out it wasn't him. But when he went to jail, he was worried that they were, they had him for something else and they were going to send him to normal jail. So he was trying to get an insane plea by behaving crazily. And when he got to jail, he started furiously masturbating in the cell towards all the officers to try and drive in the fact that he was crazy. And he said that while they were restraining him, they were beating him up.
Starting point is 00:40:47 And he kept going like, oh, yes, I like it. Oh, that's good. One on the head there. So he quit his life of crime, though. And then he became an erotic artist. I didn't know this. Yes. And for years, he did erotic art out in a town called caminia
Starting point is 00:41:10 australia no caminia caminia no fucking way it was called caminia caminia no way look it up come in yeah come in yeah i'm in your austral That's insane. That feels like that's where Ken's town should have been. Yeah, Cominia. In the Barbie movie. They send all the Kens there. So he was out in Cominia making erotic art. Did he choose this town? I suppose.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Oh my God, okay. But he was- You don't get teleported to the town. You choose them. Write a ladies man. Okay. And when he did his interview with New Zealand Tonight, he actually sold one of his paintings to the local bar of him getting arrested.
Starting point is 00:41:51 It's a picture of him getting arrested. But all of his other art is women's breasts. Oh. Oh, dude. That's awesome. Yeah. And so, unfortunately, two days ago, he passed away. What? And so, unfortunately, two days ago, he passed away.
Starting point is 00:42:12 And I think we're going to give an America me up salute to a man that probably should have been American. Yeah, he really should have. Well, one thing that I consider. Did you look up Camino, Australia? I do. I do consider it interesting because he couldn't find it. One thing that I noticed on the arrest footage immediately was that he doesn't sound Australian. He has a more British accent.
Starting point is 00:42:30 And apparently, the Australian accent has evolved over time. I found it. It's Kuminya, Australia. C-O-O-M-I-N-Y-A. So did he move to this town for the reason that it sounds like coming you? I think he wanted to be anonymous.
Starting point is 00:42:47 I think it's kind of like the outback. But maybe. Just maybe. Because like Cominia, it's like two. It's Cominia. Cominia. Cominia. I'm confused.
Starting point is 00:42:56 Yeah, Cominia, mate. But do they even say it like that down there? I think they say it Cominia. I know, but like when they're going to come in you. I think, do they call it spunk in Australia? They called it jammy whammy. Did you just make that up?
Starting point is 00:43:12 Jammy whammy. I'm going to jammy whammy ya. Root. Root. Root means to fuck. It doesn't mean to come in ya. Yeah, well, I mean, you can come in ya. Well, we had Australians here for like a month and we didn't. Yeah. Next time. Anyway, that's my America me like a month. Yeah. Next time. Anyway. That's my America me up.
Starting point is 00:43:27 That was a lovely segment. Thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed that. I feel like they didn't like you. Okay. So he went on this interview and he's like, I used to rob banks. No, he wouldn't say that. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:43:41 Because the interviewer said, you are a criminal. And he's like, no, I wouldn't say that. There were times when I would go in and put thermite in a safe and he's like no i wouldn't say that uh there were times when i would go in and put thermite in a safe and blow it open and he's like so you're a bank robber he's like no i didn't have a fucking gun and all that there's a documentary coming out open so he never went to jail for that no he did many times that's where he learned to paint oh that's kind of nice he's the subject of a documentary called the man who ate a succulent chineseculent Chinese Meal, currently in production, directed by Heath Davis. The doc feature is said to be released in early 2025, so that's something that we can look forward to.
Starting point is 00:44:10 Oh, yay. Maybe we'll watch it on the paywall. That's kind of exciting. It was Democracy Manifest. So he was just masturbating in front of officers thinking that they had him on a worse charge. So when they gave him the charge that they had him on. No, they put him in the insane asylum. Oh.
Starting point is 00:44:25 And he broke out. Oh. I just don't... Dude, it's different. He needs a book. How is he a free man? He's just one of God's own prototypes. I just don't know. Like, there's something missing here. He gets arrested, he rob banks, and he jerks off in front of
Starting point is 00:44:41 cops while getting beaten to death and goes to an insane asylum, escapes, and then has a very successful life. No, I don't know about that last part. He had a Pinot Noir deal. Yeah, he drank a lot of wine. He had a wine deal
Starting point is 00:44:57 apparently. But he was free regardless. He was free. Unless he was on the run. I would argue he was more free than most of us ever will be yeah okay well i need to see this documentary he also talks about how he did a threesome one time with whomst two women apparently wow did you know random thing i just thought about documentaries there's a documentary come out did you know abraham lincoln was gay yes yeah i think a lot of people have talked about that yeah well there's a documentary coming out this year that I think we should all watch,
Starting point is 00:45:26 and it's... Are you telling me Mary Todd Lincoln wasn't doing it for him? She's a smoke show. No, I know she is. Mary Todd Lincoln, they say, is possibly bisexual because he would sleep in the same bed. Like, there's official accounts of him sleeping in the same bed with his bodyguard. What's gay about that? Yeah. That's the argument. Maybe if he had kept
Starting point is 00:45:47 his bodyguard that close when he went to a show, he would have gotten back shots. Now, I want to know if they'll get into detail whether Lincoln was a top or a bottom. Oh, he's definitely a top. You think so? It's huge. I know he is, but sometimes you can have big tops or bottoms.
Starting point is 00:46:03 I read or I learned a story I know he is, but sometimes you can have big tops or bottoms. Bottom. Big bottom. Anyway. I read or I learned a story that made me feel a certain type of way. I have this really bad problem where I always feel bad for the bad person. Does anyone else have that? I've felt that before. Expand on that. You hear like an awful story and you're like, oh, man. World War II, Adolf Hitler.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Expand on that. I't i think i just think there's always a way to feel bad for the evil person are you talking about john wilkes booth right now no who are you talking about i'm gonna get there what do you think ponzi schemes and the backstreet boys have in common uh i would assume one of the backstreet Boys did a Ponzi scheme. No, but this guy named Lou Adler. Okay. Adler? Where did I get Adler? I made that word up.
Starting point is 00:46:51 I have no clue where I got that from. Lou Perlman. Okay. Who's Lou Adler? Nobody knows. I don't know, but Lou Perlman sounds familiar. Lou Perlman. So he's this guy.
Starting point is 00:46:59 He had a blimp company, massive blimp company, and he sees new kids on the block everyone needs a blimp i know it was like his dream it was his dream growing up he saw this these blimps and he was like i'm gonna have a blimp company one day oh and then um healthy lad yeah are you what the hell is wrong with you are you fat shaming no he just looks pleasantly plump. You get skinny all of a sudden. Yeah. You fucking changed. Yeah, now I'm learning you deserved it. Why don't you feel, which bad guy do you feel worse for here?
Starting point is 00:47:37 It changes on the day, but right now I don't feel bad for you because it's funny. So Lou Pearlman, he sees new kids on the block and he was like oh my god that's amazing i'm gonna start my own boy band sure so he quite literally like lists in the classifieds like the classifieds version of auditions and he's like looking for hot young men who can sing and dance right i think austin took out a ad like that one time yeah and so he posts this and he lives in Florida and he has these auditions in his blimp barn and he finds the fucking backstreet boys. Right.
Starting point is 00:48:15 He creates the backstreet boys. Okay. Everybody. Yeah. Rock your body. Yeah. Fuck you Hassan fuck you rock your body

Starting point is 00:48:56 Meatloaf. I thought you were going to say. Can I bring a whole band? I thought you were going to say Frank Sinatra and I was going to laugh. I'm doing Frank. No, I'm going to. I want to bring a horn, bring a band with a horn section. It is Legends themed, so you have to do
Starting point is 00:49:07 a whole dress up. I'm doing Meatloaf and I'm doing Paradise by the Dashboard. I'm learning how to sing Red Sun in the Sky in Mandarin. Wait, what are Legends? Why do you do this? Like anyone that's just like an icon.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Oh, Frank Sinatra. Mao Zedong is iconic. Did somebody claim Frank Sinatra? I don't know which one Ted claimed, but he claimed one of the guys you like. And I said, Austin's going to be mad. But I don't remember which one he claimed. It was either Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:41 Well, if he claimed Dean, I can take Frank, right? Yeah, whichever one. But you got to like dress up as them. Oh, I'm going to dress up as them. Or you need range I don't know. Well, if he claimed Dean, I can take Frank, right? Yeah, whichever one. Yeah, I'll do. But you got to like dress up as them. Oh, I'm going to dress up as them. Or you need range. You need range. Well, you're also going to do Backstreet Boys.
Starting point is 00:49:51 The four of you. Okay. Marsh, you can be a part of it. There's four boys. Yeah, come on. Wait, you need another boy. Sammy Davis. Ludwig.
Starting point is 00:50:00 You can get Ludwig. Anyway, whatever. That's crazy. That's a bit of a tangent. So anyway, he finds the Backstreet Boys. Yeah. Crazy, right? But, you know, it's really expensive to run a boy band.
Starting point is 00:50:10 So all of a sudden the blimps start crashing. Oh, no. But insurance money on a blimp is $2.5 million. I did not know that. In the 90s. Damn. Yeah. What a fucking, what a wonderful business.
Starting point is 00:50:22 Is he killing pilots? I don't, you know, know that part i can't figure out if people died do blimps have pilots or are they yes i think modern day ones maybe don't yeah no i don't think so i think they just like let it ride like a fucking balloon what are they doing you should know more about blimps than any of us no i don't i don't even know i did see a blimp sometimes not me jose no bro that shit crashes i saw one on like a flight radar. It was at like 58,000 feet. Is that high? That's high.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Really high. Planes like peak at like 43,000 maybe. Why was it so high? I don't know. It was the Chinese weather balloon. It was looking at American farmland, brother. So they start crashing, but whatever. You know, 2.5 million per balloon.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Yeah, fuck yeah. And the Backstreet Boys are like doing okay. They send them, but for some reason they're popping the fuck off in germany so they send him over to germany he's like go on tour in germany and while they're in germany he's like well someone else is gonna copy me so i'm gonna do it again and sync and he starts in sync and so they're i knew that part i knew that yeah they're in germany living their best. They come home to this new boy band. Oh, my gosh. And they're like, what the hell?
Starting point is 00:51:27 We thought we were only kids. Oh, my God. We're back. So it's like this crazy situation. And then they send NSYNC to Germany. They do the whole outlet. But regardless, obviously, we know NSYNC and Backstreet Boys blow up phenomenally. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:42 Right. This guy's two for two. He's two for two. He's terrible at blimps, but he's very good. Very good at up phenomenally. Right. I like the, this guy's two for two. He's two for two. He's terrible at blimps, but he's very, very good. Yeah. But the problem is in sync goes like platinum.
Starting point is 00:51:51 Right. And he sits them all down and he's like, okay, well, here's your pay. Congratulations. They each get a $10,000 check and they're so excited. And then one guy's like,
Starting point is 00:52:01 yo, how much should you make it sizzler? And then they're like, Oh fuck. Yeah. That's they're making nothing for like a whole like a whole year of traveling the world and whatever but like this lou guy was like buying private jets and and big tour buses and like spending all the money just like insane right big dinners and whatever so of course their profit margin is whatever turns out they were he was also taking a 40% cut Oh fuck So it's like a little ridiculous And so then they end up suing him
Starting point is 00:52:28 So Backstreet Boys and NSYNC End up suing him He goes on to make LFO I like when the girl Wear ambicromia fish Chinese food makes me sick In the summer In the summer
Starting point is 00:52:43 He makes LFO he makes uh one called like natural he did you do 98 degrees before no he didn't do 98 degrees or dreamcast but he pumps out like 100 other boy bands after this and like but none of them are ever as successful as backstreet boys are in sync you know um but everyone's always just like wondering how he's getting all this money but he he has a lot of investors. Right. Sure. Turns out he's just living off of other people's money the whole time. Right.
Starting point is 00:53:13 American scammer. So a Ponzi scheme, quite literally, like he's he's, you know, that's what it is. He's taking investors and then spending their money. And if they want their money back, taking it from other investors and robbing Peter to pay Paul. Yeah. Unfortunately, eventually you're going to run out, especially when you got cut off of your big two, two biggest projects ever, which you would like never. And like,
Starting point is 00:53:30 even everyone on the backstreet boys is like sitting there and they're like, yeah, we loved him, but like, you know, we need the money and like in sync, we loved him, but like money, you know,
Starting point is 00:53:38 and all, it's just like this really weird thing. But like one of his co partners, like found out that it was a Ponzi scheme and ended up killing himself because he was so depressed of the repercussions of all these 2000 plus people that are like invested in this guy. And then like, and this guy, what he would do this Lou Perlman, he would forge documents so well by hand. Cause this is like in the nineties. Right. And he would just be like, Oh, this German bank gave me a million dollars. And then
Starting point is 00:54:04 which is crazy. He would just get a million dollars like you know it's just so you know what he would do is he would say he got it from the bank and he would give it to one of the investors to pay them back right instead of the money just coming from the pool that makes sense am i everything you want you better rock your body right. Keep going. Everybody. Continue. Yeah. That's good. That song fucking rules.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Yeah. He did that, right? Like, that's a crazy fucking thing to do. What's the deal with this pop life and when is it going to fade out? That was a great song, too. That's a more deep cut. I don't think they're going to get that. That's insane. So, I think, controversial opinion, things were cooler when it was analog
Starting point is 00:54:46 because you can do crimes like that. That's crazy. I feel like nowadays. Wait, wait, wait. Actually, you just reaffirmed her opening statement that sometimes she feels bad for bad guys. So bad for them. So do you kind of feel bad for them?
Starting point is 00:55:01 Good segment. No, it's kind of like at the end of a movie where the villain... What happened? Oh. So this Ponzi scheme is in history the longest running Ponzi scheme, 30 years. Oh, my God. Okay? He's so good at everything.
Starting point is 00:55:12 Yeah. Except for blimps. Well, it's interesting because he had this nurse at one point that had to come and... Because he had a heart attack because he was a very healthy boy. Oh, vindicated. Go on. So he has a heart attack and he has this nurse healthy boy and um oh vindicated go on um so he has a heart attack and he has this nurse that comes and he like he's like hey like publicly will you be my girlfriend and all his friends were like i think he's just asexual and wanted a girlfriend for the appearance and like some like he wanted it that way yeah he wanted that way and there was some
Starting point is 00:55:39 like um psychoanalyzation of him that's like man this guy was just so lonely and just always wanted to be accepted and just wanted someone as long as they loved him yeah and just wanted like this you know I want I want the blimps and then I want the I want this family with these boy bands and like all this stuff right so anyway he ends up getting caught and goes to jail yeah
Starting point is 00:55:58 now we can have many friends right he ends up dying in jail oh my god bye, bye. And this is the crazy thing. In all these interviews with, like, his friends and stuff, all these people are like, yeah, he was a really good guy. Like, no one, like, you know, we all just believed in him. We really did. But it always felt like we were never that close.
Starting point is 00:56:24 So he dies in jail. No one finds out for weeks. And then, or like it posts on the news, but like no one does anything. And then eventually one of the guys from one of the old boy bands, Natural, calls the coroner. Because he's like, he just needed closure, right? And the coroner was like, oh, finally, no one has called to claim this body. Isn't that so sad? Wait, I thought you were going to say he frauded the coroner and it
Starting point is 00:56:45 was someone else's body and he's alive he's out there no wait that would it's gonna be mad this is about feeling sad for the bad guy but you also like so you feel sad for all the people he ruined but then it's like he ends up dying no one claims his body sure the best they can do is like hunt down this you know where his family plot was in new york he gets buried too broke to even have a headstone like he's buried without a headstone in like you know the shittiest wooden wooden box and it's like somebody that created such joy that you keep singing and like well what and then he just dies alone what was that last part the backstreet boys? No, I keep singing.
Starting point is 00:57:26 I'm just responding to your story. Of course, that's my bad. But isn't it kind of sad? But it's also sad because he fucked up so many people's lives. They all spent their savings and stuff thinking that they'd make all this money. And also that other guy died and it was just so depressing.
Starting point is 00:57:42 I know what you mean. It's like sometimes you see like a villain at the end of the movie after they've lost everything yeah and you just think they're so lucky they're a star that's britney bitch why are you talking about that's britney bitch he's just saying stuff i don't get it but yeah so that was my i've i've been feeling a lot since that now i know why you don't want to do the fucking podcast on the weekends. Because you sit there and watch Netflix crime documentaries. That's not, oh, that is crime.
Starting point is 00:58:10 Is that not a lock or not? I just love documentaries. I don't watch crime documentaries. I can't do crime documentaries. I just do documentaries. Okay, you can't do crime ones either. No. Why?
Starting point is 00:58:17 Because you. That's a crime one. It's Posse scheme. Yeah. No, that's different crime. Well, it's about, it's like entertainment crime. That can't kill us. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:23 Right? It's still a crime. Both of them died. Yeah. Yeah. But they. It's like entertainment crime. That can't kill us. Yeah. It's still a crime. Both of them died. Yeah, but they died not like a murder. A guy killed himself. Yeah, but he did it to himself. We're talking about... But the other guy took all the...
Starting point is 00:58:35 It's fine. Wait, who killed himself? Well, the guy killed himself. Wait, who did? His business partner because he was so depressed at the actions. I wasn't paying attention and now I look like a dick. Put the hat on. No, I'm sorry. Put the hat on. No, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:58:46 I'm sorry. I thought the guy in jail killed himself. No, that guy had a heart attack. I'm sorry. It was like sepsis or something. Okay. No, I can't watch crime documentaries either because then I can't sleep.
Starting point is 00:58:58 Have you guys ever watched The Jinx? What's that? Yes. The Jinx is so good. It's so good. What am I going to do? Say I killed my mom? Jinx is so good. It's so good. What am I going to do? Say and I kill them all? Jinx is incredible because it's like a docu.
Starting point is 00:59:09 It's like a mini doc that like actually led to. Did you watch the second season? No. Oh, it just came out. Oh, crazy. I just I find it awesome when like an investigative reporting piece like actually ends up creating like tangible differences. Wait, did someone end up in jail or something?
Starting point is 00:59:28 I don't want to write anything! There's this person named Robert Durst who is the heir to one of the biggest New York real estate fortunes. He had unlimited money. He may or may not have violently murdered three people and basically blatantly did it and kind
Starting point is 00:59:44 of got away with it. Not even did it and kind of got away with it not even kind of like straight up god i don't want to ruin it okay until he's got this very weird like way of speaking i don't remember specifically if i killed them but he admitted to dismembering one of the bodies and still got away with it yeah oh. Is he still free? You got to watch the documentary. Watch the documentary, the jinx. That's crazy. Anything else anybody wants to say before we wrap it up? We're going to do W&Ls on the Patreon.

Starting point is 01:00:59 The answer is like, the first question is, what do you mean may? You're posting this. Yeah, yeah. So we are here to decide if they've committed incest. Okay, okay, okay. I'm the oldest at 23. Okay.
Starting point is 01:01:14 He's 20, she's 19. Okay. It's only a suspicion, which is crazy to post. It's a crazy suspicion. But either way, I can definitely state that their relationship is not healthy. And it hasn't ever, and if it hasn't ever happened, I can definitely state that their relationship is not healthy. And it hasn't ever. And if it hasn't ever happened, I still worry that it could one day.
