Hello, welcome to Kump.
This episode is dedicated, we'll dedicate things today, to Benjamin Hofstetter.
and night shift lifestyle these guys are donating to my patreon sight on scene these guys uh you know
some of you were waiting for the premium content that's fine but these guys are true believers
are true cumps so they get the fucking they get exalted like the right hand of god that's i'm a very
biblical guy with the cat was school for 12 years these guys are the prodigal sons the lamb and the
shepherd uh you know they they ask the prodigal son why or they have to dad
like why did you the son came but you know the story the prodigal son they had two sons the one
parties all he fucking just gets drunk and gets his dick sucked fucking blaze of cheap it doesn't
whatever he wants goes to whores and you know he goes to his dad like hey you know you you give me
inheritance when i fucking when you die why don't you give it to me now like my half and i'm like
what you're talking about why don't you fucking do the right thing give me my money you walt sack of
And so he does. I mean, I don't know why it would.
I mean, if I was his dad, I'd be like, you get it when I fucking, I guess he was afraid
that son might kill him because, you know, that's the old, I guess the alternative.
Because I would have been like, you better fuck it.
You better man, you better bring, you better come hard.
I don't come at all, you fucking punk kid.
And then he stabs me in the gut and they die.
And he wins.
So whatever, he gave the kid the money.
The kid, yeah, the other guy, the other kid was just doing this thing, I guess, just being a good son,
plowing the fields.
And then what happens to fucking.
this guy goes he whores out he gets AIDS probably fucking gets all the diseases gets his
dick sucked and slob and domed and then they fucking uh you know in a year later he comes
back and his dad like hey I fucked up yeah my assholes was fucking depleted my dick's empty
I got this disease they haven't labeled it yet but it might be AIDS you know they didn't
have AIDS back then but he might whatever and they fucking goes hey can you can you help me out
can I work on your field and he goes no
Yeah, I don't work on my field
I don't have a celebration
We bring you, my son's coming back
And then they fucking get a fatted calf
And we'll have a party
And the other son's like, what the fuck?
You get a fatted calf
When I, I do everything for you, you old
Fucking, when I fucking
I ask you for a fucking goat one time
So I can hang out with my friends
And you fucked me
Embarrassed me, you said no
Why is this kid?
And he goes, this son is gone
And now he's he was lost
And now he's not
And I always hate this story.
God just has no sense of fairness.
So, uh,
I'm not going to do that as my point.
I'm going to exalt Benjamin Hofstetter and night shift lifestyle for doing the right thing.
They're fucking good, the good sons.
Not the, the A.Z.
Hoary, whatever.
I'm not trying to stigmatize AIDS, but, you know, they got it.
You can get it from a blood transfusion.
I get it.
I'm just saying, ah, you know, whatever.
It's fucking, they fucking,
you fucking come back
with all these diseases.
Welcome to Cump.
So, you know,
I appreciate you guys.
I was going to have a special episode today.
My girlfriend was supposed to come on.
She was going to be a co-host.
We're going to have a nice...
Now you all would enjoy that.
I'm sure you could have fucking, you know,
heard her perspective on me and the world.
We could have had this whole fucking great back and forward.
And then she got highlights in her hair today.
And she won't admit this.
She said she was nervous.
I think she's thinking like I can do better.
Like, I might leave this fuck.
They got highlights in my hair.
Because I'm going to give her highlights at the salon because he was, like, running some experiment on her.
I don't know.
Sounds weird.
It sounds like I'm being cucked.
I'm afraid of that.
I don't know.
I think she's fine.
We're in love.
But, you know, the point is she's supposed to come on.
I have to wing this now.
I have to wing this fucking god damn ship i also on the way i joined a fancy gym
you know uh i joined i'm actually still a member of another gym i'm a member of two jay
if you looked at me you see a man who's not you know i don't have a fucking v a muscular v
on my dick i don't have a fucking bicep curl body you know i'm not fucking i'm not crossfit uh dude
I don't have fucking abs on my ass
But I don't remember of two gyms now
So that's something
It's like I should tell people that
If I wasn't in a relationship
I would just go to a bar and be a woman
I go to two different gyms
And then they would
I mean I don't know what you would say
I feel some fast sweaty
You gotta come up to you
I remember two gyms
You would think he was about to like hit you
In the head of the rock
So
I shouldn't share that
I'm gonna cancel the other gym
Gims have these weird things
You can't cancel
Like get to cancel
say you want to cancel
45 days before you're
actually cancellation goes to effect
they're just crooks
but
I go I join some fancy gym by my job
so I could fucking
on my lunch break go and ride the treadmill
and fucking run on the bikes
and you know just lift
lift weights and be a
kettlebell boy
just fucking
get a Joe Rogan body
I'm trying to get on the Joe Rogan show
by making my body stronger
I might have to join
Jiu Jitsu Dojo
Maybe Muay, I don't know
I want him to see my move
I don't want to get on
Because I'm funny or I'm interesting
I want him to see a YouTube video
Of me doing karate moves
And go who is this guy
Who is this? That's not a bad idea
Like well I'll make a video
Called Fat guy does karate
I'll break some boards
I've broken boards in the past
I had a friend who went to bullshit
Like you know some tiger show him
Whatever the fuck karate
I'm sure it's very legit
But he wasn't
I don't know
But then I broke the board
The board had boards at his house, and I just broke him.
It wasn't hard.
I didn't have to be trained to break boards.
So, you know, I mean, I'm sure the dojo was great.
He was just kind of probably not that good at it.
Not going to commit slander.
I mean, Tiger Sharmes is a strong.
That guy's a legit fighter right here.
His dojo's great.
Because, you know, you can't get into trouble, legal trouble here in this podcast, people listening.
Got a lot of listeners now, and it's only getting bigger.
So we can't go, you know, saying anything bad.
about, you know, mall karate,
karate, karate that have in the mall
that, you know, fucking little kids go to
and, you know, three ninjas.
I can't get, you know, I'm sure
three ninjas is an accurate movie,
and I'm sure Tiger Shulman does good karate.
I'm not going to, you can't say otherwise.
They have mixed martial arts now.
That's UFC shit.
So whatever.
Good for them.
Point is, I want Joe Rogan to see my video,
Fat Man does karate,
where I breakboards,
I dress in a fucking, you know,
some kind of ghee that's, you know,
too tight, maybe.
this is going to be a viable video that I engineer
it's one of those Nathan for you things
it's going to go crazy people are going to love this
people are going to go where
you're going to see it like it's going to be a fucking thing
instead of Nathan for you it's going to be Joe Rogan
and me talking about it goes that was
rigged Ray Kump rigged that
yep I rigged it
they got on the Rogan show
that's what I did
but yeah so
what was I bringing oh so I joined
a fancy gym
and it's nice because it's got the wood floors
and it's like a fucking got sauna in there
I can go in the sauna
there's massages I don't know if it costs extra
but it's more expensive
but this guy I work with he goes in his lunch break
he's like I spend a lot of money
on the fucking gym
because you know
otherwise you know
you spend all money on the fucking tacos
and Diet Coke you fat fuck
he didn't say he's a very nice guy I'm paraphrasing
he's like why don't you spend the money on the gym
it's a nice place and you want to go there
because it's nicer it's like
because look I go there's other shit
gyms you know the ones are 20 bucks a month and they
they're not great they don't give you a towel
when you this place they give you a towel
when you go in and the showers are clean
and like there's no one in there
and just fucking nice and calm
I need a common presence of my life so I can do some
fucking you know I can belt out some goddamn
trap exercises I need to get my traps right
for the summer I need to get my dick V
and my traps and my fucking
shoulder straps
my ass abs my asses I
all that shit to be tight
especially because my girls
got these new highlights
so I need to get my body tight
just not she's like I'm not saying
she's chasing muscle or anything but you know
just in case I gotta fucking get
this shit going
pumping get my fucking blood pumping
so I go
with the gym I went yesterday for trial it was
nice I went in the treadmill it was a fucking
fan I've listened to the Game of Thrones book
two that I'm listening to
getting ready for the new season I'm not sure
whatever I'm not going to get into the game of thrones
I'm saying, what I was doing.
I usually like to listen to fucking, you know, music like, and walk.
I used to run five miles a day.
You know, if you know me, you know that.
And I'm getting back to that.
But right now I'm walking, so you don't really need to get pumped up to walk.
So I did it yesterday.
Today I show up.
I pay the money, a decent amount of money.
And then I fucking get in the locker room.
I forgot my shorts.
I've all my other clothes on my shorts.
Whatever.
So I fucking can't exercise.
So on the way back, it's snowing.
It's icy in front of my job.
I fucking fall
My knee
It's fucking bruised
I had to ice it and fucking
I don't know
It might blow up overnight
I mean I'm elevated
I put the fucking Advil
I fucking you know
I iced the shit of it
But uh
I might have to cut my leg off
I don't know
It hurts
Uh
I used to like just wear this shit off
You know
I would fucking be fine
But I'm getting older I guess
So I have to fucking start
I just start taking fucking testosterone
Maybe
Where can I get
You what?
I have any fans, anyone listening, who can get me test that thing, any kind of gummy bear
testosterone, uh, I don't know if steroids are illegal or not. I can't ask for illegal things,
but whatever, you know, I used to know a guy who's in the major league baseball and he was fucking
telling me about fucking those sorts of things you put in your dick. Uh, apparently like
baseball players were like a big thing they did, they'd have these, uh, I don't know, it was
steroids or testosterone maybe or HGH, but it would be a patch that you put in your,
balls maybe it wasn't intended for your balls but they were put on their balls and uh they would sleep
with the big problem they would get is where they would get drunk and they forget because you have to
take it off a certain period right like it was made so that like in the few hours it would wear off
because you know when you're getting tested but like you'll have it on overnight and then you'd be
taken off a certain time in the middle of the night and then they would never know these fucking
people would test you but they would get drunk sometimes and then fall asleep with this thing
on their balls and they're fucking
just too much of the shit in their system
and they get caught. So I don't know.
So,
but I don't know. No one's testing me, whatever. So, you know,
everyone wants to help me to get, you know, my muscles
in right shape. If I got any fucking cool,
you know, my guys in Miami who listen to me or
fucking Coram, Corm, Long Island,
you know, they probably, they probably doesn't, look,
it's great weightlifting gyms everywhere. So anyone
who's getting ripped, help me out.
I don't know.
but my knee also like the knee
if anyone has any fucking stem cells
they can lend me I'd love to get some stem cells
I'd love to get
some kind of injection that would just make my dick work better
my knee not hurt
all sorts of shit
it was a big week in the news
I think I'm starting to get to a point where I can't even
I know I started bad mouth in AOC last week
this amazon it's not just her but is an amazon business
look you want to oppose the amazon
hq too because hq amazon pulled their new york thing
if you're from new york you may not heard about it
they they were supposed to have a new
headquarters in long island city
it was after a year or two of fucking you know
hemming and hauling and like some you know
theatrics about where they're going to go
and they're going to bring 25000 new jobs to long island city
uh you know tech jobs
but, you know, people complaining
because, like, they're getting $3 billion in subsidies.
Now, from the fucking get-go, from the jump,
I thought everyone was reporting this is a really weird,
the Times or whatever, every fucking news outlet.
Oh, should we be giving them $3 billion in subsidies?
It's like, no one's giving them three, like,
they're getting a tax abatement or tax break
on, like, the taxable revenue they would bring.
Like, if you, they're kind of coming, they're not going to come in, right?
You go, oh, if you come here, we'll shave $3 billion off your tax bill.
Over the course, it's like 20 years or 10 years.
I don't know what the fuck.
And people go, oh, we're giving them $3 billion.
No one's giving them $3.
Like, I mean, in some conceptual way, I guess you are.
But the fact is, they're either going to come or they don't come.
If they don't come, you don't have $3 billion.
Like, there's no $3 billion that you have if they don't come.
So you only get $3 billion only exists at all if they come.
Because let's be honest, who else is bringing these jobs?
I mean, I'm not saying Governor Cuomo is some super trustworthy guy.
I used to watch his wife or is a girlfriend.
She used to host a show in their cooking network, I think, mostly homemade, where I can't speak to what she was.
But she seemed like she might have had a few drinks.
Maybe she was just partying.
And then she, like, makes cocktails out of, like, New England clam chowder.
I mean, that's what the episode was.
It was some kind of, I could be remembered.
Maybe it was cream of mushroom soup,
but I seem to remember her pouring vodka into cream and mushroom soup or clam chowder
and then putting through a cocktail glass and say, hey, have this cocktail.
Who is this woman, this seemingly inebriated woman?
I could have been wrong, but who is this?
And apparently the longtime girlfriend of the governor.
That's who she is.
So anyway, I'm not saying he's the most trustworthy guy.
but based on that uh but he was saying look i fucking you know spend weeks and months
you know massaging deals and negotiating to get a company to come with 50 or 100 jobs
this 25 000 jobs like this these jobs they aren't like just beat no one's beating each other
over the head to bring in these jobs i mean it's three billion dollars in subsidies versus
i mean the estimate seems to be like 20 billion or you know that's what you'll say like
19 billion in like, you know, in taxable revenue or a tax bill. Like, you know, $19 billion tax
bill and you give them $3 billion. Like so, yeah, you're saving some money, but you're still bringing
in netting like, you know, 15, 12, whatever it is. I mean, it might be less, you know, it might work out
to be less, but you still get a lot of fucking money into the city. I mean, it diversifies the
fucking the tax base because, you know, right now mostly it's fucking real estate and, uh,
financial services, which is fickle. And, uh,
volatile so you know it seems like a no-brainer i mean the big argument is does this is this place
uh the community the people give me of course the rents are going to rise they're already
were rising and uh didn't that didn't seem to be the reason they're pushing people out though
like the real the the the deal seemed to fall apart based on reporting from these politicians
just acting like slavs i mean you have the right to oppose on
bad for the people this business coming in displacing people but it seems to be like the rhetoric
seemed to all be like oh like aOC is going like well we we're giving them three billion if we
given them three billion we just take the three billion and invest it in schools and in the subway
is like no you can't like that money wasn't there it's either it's either you you bring them in
and they get and they get this tax break with three billion or that three billion doesn't exist
otherwise like it's kind of like we can have his argument like should we incentivize
companies should we bring you know should they begin a tax break it's technically not fair uh but that's a
larger question i mean like realistically they have to pick of the litter i mean we can talk about all the
facets of the reasons why they've risen to the level they've risen to we can talk about the philosophical
you know the wealth sharing that should occur with a company um the implications of of the mechanized
labor force that's being put into effect with companies like amazon you know there's a fucking
fact their warehouses are full of robots sure these are all valid things but the end of the day
for new york city to like take this stand is on the grounds of like well in principle we shouldn't
give business money yeah right but i mean these jobs they're gonna be here i mean where these jobs
we're getting these jobs from i'm not saying the new york city's going to go bankrupt i mean
it seemed financially sound it seemed like they pulled people and seen a lot of people they
pulled you know the blacks
Latinos like you know people in these low-income
areas like it seemed across the board
a lot of the people they were talking about being
displaced wanted this
I mean I don't know the exact breakdown
of jobs I mean they're saying
I mean look
there seems to be some racial
racism going on in the sense of
like
I call it racist
like oh we're in a low wage jobs
I mean it's look
I'm sure they're going to
realistically import a lot
people right i'm sure a lot of people are going to be carpet beggars of the economy if you
if that's a term carpet beggars usually out-of-state politicians but whatever i mean i'm sure that's
going to happen but the end of the day fucking you know why can't some kid who lives in the
shit of your neighborhood economically depressed neighborhood you don't think they're anyone there
goes to college and try to get tech jobs the tech degrees i'm sure they do i'm sure just
like people look not everyone does but i mean this is not just and shouldn't just but like you know
if you want to tell me these politicians were vying to get these jobs towards their constituents
yeah that's your fucking that's your job to do that go ahead and do that make sure um because i'm sure
there are some low-wage job they even if it wasn't with the company i'm sure raising up the
economy there will be you know tangentially you know restaurants and service industry jobs that
pop up as this you know area gets more and more economically developed i mean it's not like
it's not like well-in-lawful city wasn't already being gentrified i mean you know the fucking
skyscraper apartments they have
not quite skyscrapers
these built these big tower apartments
these aren't for poor people
it's not pretending like a lot of city
I'm sure this makes it worse
it makes worse for everyone but I mean like
you know
no one complained many people do complain
but no one's real politicians are complaining
about kids in Brooklyn
and Queens
you know Astoria
Bushwick or Williamsburg
you know gentrifying these towns
and you know fucking Crown Heights
gentrifying these towns and like you know
what they bring
the fucking the coffee shop at least amazon's bringing fucking you know they're bringing
fucking 25,000 jobs what are you bringing nothing that's the thing i fucking i'm technically
part of that i bring nothing to the neighborhood i boy i bring nothing but an aesthetic of
just you know a plumber's aesthetic i think i look like a plumber is that worth it is that
worth it to you wouldn't it be better if i brought you a couple dozen jobs i think it would
I mean, there's no perfect answer here.
And, like, business should be, we should cohabitate.
And there should be, we should do more with the tax benefit.
But, you know, people have to get off this idea that government creates wealth.
Government doesn't, like, create, I mean, again, I must bring some, like, you know, neoliberarianism here.
But, like, they don't create wealth.
I mean, and the more you see, you know, them try to, like, create, you know, real socialist, you know, movements, it doesn't.
the countries that we talk about
are socialists aren't socialists at all
I mean the Scandinavian countries
like Sweden for instance
like it's not a socialist country
it's a very on the scale of like
economic freedom they're very high
they're kind of a free market economy
or close to it you know but they have a lot of taxes
and they tax also the poor
which people don't talk about as much
they have like a large tax burden on the lower class
along with the middle class too
but you know you really
most studies show you can't just tax
to wealthy. I mean, it might feel good. You can do it, but it's not going to pay for everything.
You should do it just to like, you know, or not, should you do it or not? It's more of a philosophical
question, you know, and they should pay their share. What's the fair share? I don't know,
but the point is you can't finance a large welfare state or, you know, what you call it entitlement
state. We want to call it on the backs of the rich. It just won't work. And the engine of an
economy, look, it doesn't come from crony capitalism either, but, you know,
understanding that like the government doesn't create wealth
all these kind of demands don't create
wealth I mean
then you can argue that like regulation
can kind of enable a you know profit sharing
on a level of just kind of like make sure
it's you know make sure they did that
the community doesn't get bled dry
because that's what government can do you can be in the position
not to bleed to make a company not bleed people dry
bleed your resources dry because it kind of you know they're driven by profits and fucking you know
fiduciary responsibility so fucking i don't know but when i'm it's when fucking a or c comes down
you're like a straight billion i'm getting sick of this shit i'm getting sick of her uh and her what
this whole movement she represents i mean is she worse than trump no trump is terrible trump is a
psychopath but you know i mean he's talking about you using a fucking
uh what you call it emergency powers they're going to pass the bill but he's emergency powers
it's a maniac is a fucking maniac i mean but that being said like you know why not be the adults
in the room i guess being the adult doesn't get you anything you don't win anything being the
adult so uh it's good so we just have a bunch of fucking sound bite children
just in fucking making a muck you guys excited about the new captain marvel movie is coming
out soon. You're Marvel fans out there
because there's people
out there very unhappy
about it. I thought the trailer
looked a little weak. I might have mentioned this before, I forget.
But I thought the trailer looked
a little weak. I think we lost it looked
a little wooden in some of the, just in a few
the line reading. She was like,
seemed a little like stiff, whatever.
But like, I just kind of Googled
it just kind of at curiosity. Like, people
kind of noticing this is the thing. And like
what you get is just a level, like, look.
she came out and she
recently I think or maybe before
I was saying I want less white men
in my press tour
which at least on the service
she's basically making the case that like
critics wise
like they're
overrepresented which
I mean the end of the day
I mean aren't most of the fucking people
give a shit about Marvel movies white men
I might even try to say it shouldn't be
but it's probably the case right
I'm saying you know in their way it's great
I think these guys are probably not the best guys for a lot of reasons.
I mean, I enjoy a Marvel movie now and again, but I mean, you know, let's not make...
You make too big a fuss out of these stupid fucking movies with Star Wars shit.
And she's coming out and you go, I want less white men.
She sees...
Look, she wants agitation, it seems like.
She's a little bit of a...
I'm not going to go out and just offend her.
It seems crass.
It seems like...
Also, probably just like...
It seems a little unfounded, probably.
I'm sure there's a few people.
who maybe felt like they weren't...
I don't even know what representation looks like
in the critics thing.
Most of these people are like shills, aren't they?
Like, I don't know.
I mean, I'm not trying to dismiss her out of hand.
But my point is, like, there's valid reasons
to be like, yeah, what the fucking she's told?
But the level of, like, reaction that people are...
If you go on YouTube and you see...
These, like, videos people are making,
like, gloating about how the projections for...
Mr. Marvel are down $100 million.
and like it's gonna be terrible
because people don't care about this character
that's what part of how you know
an argument is not just based on like
oh she said something that we think is
like you know proto sexist or
anti-male or anti-white male
is they start going after the character
why it won't be successful you got some
fucking guy making a shitty
YouTube video telling you about how narrative
works and how where characters
come from and why people like characters
I'm getting very sick and tired
of this fucking movement of
YouTubers who like want to critique
movie. Look, critiquing movies fine.
I love when the original
guy, I feel like a lot of the comments
I could be wrong. I think it stems all stems from
that Red Butter Media guy who was great.
Those Mr. Plinket reviews.
If you ever, if you haven't listened to, watch
those, they were like the first thing I ever
saw on YouTube that was like really
terrible. Not like that, everyone was
in love with the Star Wars prequel
to that point anyway, but he made these
long, I mean, like over 10 years ago
I think. And that point, I think, YouTube
videos were still like 10 minutes a piece
like max and he made these fucking like
seven eight 10 part like
they're like two hours apiece these fucking
um I guess reviews about
of the prequels
in this character of this weird
rapy serial killer like Mr. Plankett
it was great and uh
but like just but really breaking down
these things in terms of the hero cycle
and like just why you like
comparing him and contrasting with the original films
and like why they don't work and why the character
suck and all the sorts of shit and
really like you know put a lot of
thought and effort into it
and I love them they were great
and now
they also did what's in the Star Trek movies
and a few other things and like you know
they're still going when they have their little review show
half in the bag I think it's fine
I don't watch all the time but they're
they're pretty good you guys
but jump like 12 years late
wherever it is and like every
fucking YouTube kid thinks they're gonna
fucking they're like gonna tear
apart a movie
based on you know
the tenants of Joseph Campbell and like why this guy didn't he hits point six in a
hero scale and the guy didn't have to give it it it's just too much like I don't think
they're always wrong it's just more like why this is this impetus like there's something
about hearing stuff from people who aren't good like you know no one wants me to be their
weight trainer no one wants me to be doing like you know training people and how
to get their fucking dick v right we talked about the dick vs before and ass abs and if i'm there
i mean maybe i'm wrong maybe people want that maybe people want me to be all sweaty while they're
doing their jumping jacks i'm just like you fucking slop what do you want to look like my fat
fucking ass you want to fucking look at my v it's just like my fat bulge it's like my belly button
is in the shape of a v and like you know do you want that you want you know you work harder maybe
that could work but i think in general people don't want
that and I don't want that for my youtubeers I want I just want this pseudo intellectual
YouTube movement to like chill the fuck out make cool things like Lindsay Beach who makes
the fucking move things about the fucking the middle ages warfare that's fun like spears
versus swords that was great they just had a bunch of guys fighting spears
and swords and the sword guys all fucking get their ass kicked by the spears guys
Lindy Beach watch him I like a lot guys I like I like uh and I like some film
like like George Rockl Schmidt or something that guy's fun this
fun guys out there, but just this
fucking goddamn impetus
to be tearing things apart
bit bite, babe.
You know, it's just, I mean, the pitch meeting
videos, those are fun, but I can't
watch a fucking scream
what these, fucking, like, everything wrong
with this movie in nine seconds. No,
fuck off.
And like, it was an obsession with like catching
fucking plot holes
and fucking grow a
dick or a pussy, will you?
Or whatever in between if you're not,
you know identifying just grow something grow a fucking I don't know what's the
goal there I'm not gonna get into it I mean whatever you piss out of make it
bigger is all I'm saying but yeah so people going after it's that controversial now
am I am I the am I the new fucking villain because I said that I wish I had enough
heat to get in trouble for that that'd be amazing but they go over to
R. Larson about
this. I don't know. This is Captain Marvel movie.
It's just a level of reaction. When they start
going into this fucking nuanced horse shit
about like, there's a plot. People don't really like
this character. It's like, you obviously
there's a level of misogyny. There's a level
of fucking, and look,
misogyny is, it's not like,
why?
Like, the Thor movie
sucked. But like, no one,
people like, oh, she had what it takes to replace
these guys. Oh, look, Captain America was okay.
The second movie was great.
the third one was fine
I mean Civil War was cool
but also had like every other fucking
Marvel guy in it besides like Thor
I think and Hulk
so like fuck you
as a Marley or it's not a
Captain American movie anymore
I mean Thor had like you know
fucking the Hulk with them
I also didn't love Ragnor
I mean it was fun Ragnarok
but it was also kind of like
when I first saw it was like
everything's a joke
it's just flimsy
so my point is like
is this movie gonna suck
I don't know
I don't I'll see it
because I was ready to write
this shit off. After Thor Ragnarok, I was like,
enough. I was like, it's fine, but I just don't
care. Just like with Star Wars.
After watching the last one, it wasn't
great. I mean, those anti,
you know, S.JW. Star Wars
guys aren't wrong. It was a
whatever movie. But it's more just like, why am I
watching these anymore? And I felt
that way about the Marvel. And I was like,
I'll see fucking Infinity War,
and I'll just fucking wrap it up there. And like,
and I liked Infinity War. I liked Infinity
War. It was a fun.
I think it was well done.
seen a few times on you know Netflix afterwards
it's tight they did a good job
there's Rousseau brothers they do a good job with the ship
I watched Ant Man the Ospre after that
and I liked the first one and this wasn't terrible
I was a guess whatever so
Marvel might not be great
but you know it leads right into this movie so
I'll see it because I'm a fucking look I've invested
this much time it's a curiosity
all right like you know
are we sick of this shit sure we're sick of it but it's also
like no one's ever done this huge
thing before so fucking check it out like
it's not going to be done again
anytime soon. I mean,
is it bode well for the future
of filmmaking? Of course not.
But, like, don't talk to me about how,
you know, like, you don't like iron.
Like, some guy at work was talking about
Iron Man. Like, I was saying people
love Iron Man. He's like, he's talking about
postmodernism. And like, people
like, like, Iron Man. You're like, well, people
don't like Iron Man. They've just been
convinced they like Iron Man. It's like, well, what's your
favorite Tarkovsky film? And he didn't have an answer.
He couldn't answer me. He couldn't tell me his favorite
Tarkovsky film. He didn't see in Tarkovsky film.
Still get hard with me about film.
When you haven't seen a Tarkovsky film,
when you haven't seen Ivan's childhood or stalker or fucking...
I mean, some of these things like Andre Rubloff or goddamn obtuse.
I'm not even sure if I like them, but they're fucking dense.
You can tell a genius made him.
And some of them are fucking amazing in a lot.
I mean, like, but my point is, don't get hard with me.
Don't fucking act with you got some hard dick about film.
When you haven't seen a fucking Tarkovsky film,
you haven't seen Ivan's childhood.
One of the greatest pieces of cinematic art in the history of the fucking universe.
And you're going to fucking give me shit about how postmodernism.
now people don't like Iron Man
Iron Man is great
Robert Denny Jr. is great
in that role.
Are the movies like amazing?
The movies aren't amazing
but he's great.
Iron Man is great.
There's a great casting choice.
He's effervescent.
He's effusive, I think he's the right word.
He's charismatic.
You watch him in these movies.
There's an effortless
to Robert Daniel Jr.'s performance
For an action,
whatever hybrid movie these are,
no, he's great.
And like, to deny that,
it's just to deny like basic charisma.
Are you going to tell me,
you know,
that fucking Jordan,
Peterson doesn't have a fucking, you know, a certain weird sexiness.
I'm kidding.
He's not, I don't know.
He seems like he could be sexy.
He's a weirdo.
Don't get me wrong.
But, uh, why I derail it with Jordan Peterson?
The point is Robert Henry Jr. is a fucking,
I mean, the Captain America guy, I can see more of that being like, ah, whatever.
But he, he works it work.
I mean, for the most part, they're pretty solid.
And so, are they fucking SJWs?
I mean, you know, we'll see.
I don't think the captain, they're promoting it to women.
Of course they're promoting it to women.
You don't think they want more women getting more gung-ho about this shit?
You don't think so?
It's a Black Panther and people are like, oh yeah, finally a movie where Black people get to be super here.
I mean, it had other ones, but for whatever a number of reasons, you know, this one, I mean, Blade didn't really resonate, I guess.
I don't know.
Whatever.
This, like, I get it.
It resonated beyond just the comic book and the fans and whatever.
and black people just like the cultural thing
you think that's maybe got something to do with it
and not the fucking you know
just the fact that you know oh they're trying to push
white men look I get that you think it's unfair
but like the white men are doing fine
I mean as a whole
they're not in the sense of like
no one's doing that great but like
no one's really in danger I mean like if it could get to that point
maybe look if it's a pendulum swings so far
in the other way sure you could be in danger
but let's not kid ourselves about
how far would have to swing, right?
And, like, I don't know what fucking
paradigm you're talking about where, like,
you're afraid of, like,
just fear-based, like,
oh, no, we're going to be in danger.
People fucking
keep saying white men are evil.
Like, take it.
Fucking take it. What gives a shit?
You're not fucking getting stuck.
You know,
I fucking just,
just be man up.
Just fucking man up.
I know these people who, like,
here, oh, liberals are trying
to fucking say masculine,
they're trying to say masculinity is toxic.
Fuck them. What the fuck?
Do I act like a fucking not masculine person?
I mean, it may not be, I may not
be a fucking, you know, I'm not
what's the guy from Guardians of the Galaxy?
I'm not that guy, I'm not Thor, but I'm masculine.
I'm certainly not, I don't think it's as a feminine,
you know,
persona I've honed.
No one's giving me shit.
Because I'm not fucking, they're trying to hurt people.
I'm not saying people that can't use the dumb, whatever pronouns they want to use.
Do whatever you want.
Give a shit.
Fucking worry about bathroom.
Oh, what a bathroom?
No one's going to fucking go to your bathroom.
Shut your mouth.
Just fucking stop acting like such a fucking, like, oh, they're a fucking comment for us.
No or not.
If they don't know what you deal with it.
You fucking.
Jeez.
Scary cats.
A much of scary cats.
Anyway.
so is cat and marvel gonna be cramming down your throats i don't know i doubt i think it's gonna be more
just fucking you know look at this woman women can do everything it's like can't oh they can't
fucking be in combat as much because they're fucking not as reflexes or all right i mean at the end of
day you know when you look i mean like one thing peterson does talk about it was like you know
jordan pearson if you're not familiar with the guy is a controversial figure not just because
it was i mean i think a lot of him is questionable but there's something i like the guy in a lot
I would like him in a lot of cases
You know
But it's just there's certain glaring
instances where he's just kind of
You're kind of bull of shit in a lot of cases
But scientifically
You know even he'll talk about how like you know
Women
In general
On the extremes will be less aggressive than men
But you know
On the extreme like the most aggressive man
Most aggressive person will always be a man kind of thing
But that being said like
there's many, many, many, many aggressive women who are more,
and many women who are more aggressive than many men.
So why can't this woman be a superhero and, like, you know, is she overpowered?
Yeah, but she's been that way in the comics for years.
Don't tell me that people gave a fuck about Captain Marvel.
People don't always, no one cares about the character.
He keeps getting rewritten.
They keep redoing Captain Marvel because there's some fucking thing.
Captain Marvel used to be, like, what we know is Shazam, I think is that works.
It used to be Captain Marvel, but they sued DC comics.
like part of the thing is now every two years
they have to make it, within every two years
they have to make a Caton Marvel comic. So
they keep having to do it just to keep
the rights to it.
And so they keep having to revisit.
I don't know. I read the whole
Captain America being a secret
Hydroagent arc. People seem to
hate it. They thought it was anti, like it was just anti-Trump shit.
I thought it was interesting, right?
Was it on the nose?
It's a little on the nose, but I thought it was an
interesting looking to the
character i mean i'm honestly not a big comic guy like consistently over the years i got one of those
kindle fire 10 inch things you know the and i'm fucking reading that way you get the marvel unlimited
app and you pay 10 bucks a month you can read whatever you want in the past marvell shit you know
and so i read it all in a click uh you know a week or whatever and i i thought it was interesting
and cap marvel was a part of that did they had he had a tricker into being the outside of the
fucking of his
energy shield that he created because she was too
powerful and he kept, he basically hid some
fucking, uh,
whether the guys in Avengers want Shantaris
or whatever, Centaris, he
had like a fucking nest, like the queen.
So they kept invading and attacking her and keeping her busy
because she was so powerful. If she was around, she'd be
too powerful. She went to take care of shit.
I don't know. It never occurred to me like, oh, why is this woman so powerful?
I mean, look, you have a fucking overpower.
Look.
Captain America is not strong
Because of like the tendon strength
Of his male anatomy
He's like oh his testosterone levels make him stronger
At the point of being a superhero
Does it really matter if you're a man or a fucking woman?
Doesn't matter like
Does the Hulk have to be a man
What man is like
Can take the Hulk on? No one
So what's a difference? Like you're already
Overpowered by the fact
is a dumb fantasy thing, right?
This isn't real. It doesn't represent
anything real. So who gives a shit?
Let it be a woman. Now, that
being said, you know,
Iron Man, or the Thor seems to be
a woman in these comics also.
Because there was a whole thing for Marvel
where they were pushing STW shit
it seems like. And
a lot of it seemed to be pretty
weekly written. And I deny
this stuff happens. And like the Thor thing
did seem kind of weird. Like I'll be honestly,
like the door was, I don't know where the back story of the woman
door was but she seemed lame
and I was like what's going on here
I just like uh I didn't think too much about it
wasn't bothered by the fact she's woman but it's all
like this woman door seems lame
honestly before the movies and even with the movies
I never thought Thor was that great of a character
to begin with I could be wrong
maybe I was if I was a better column book fan
I would fucking say otherwise I don't
fucking know but door
so you know the woman door sucked so
I mean I get it I'm definitely not gonna
like you know but my point is captain
Marvel seemed fine in that context
so giving it break it's all fake
I mean it doesn't
string credulity to have a woman do this
now like I will
agree you know
chill out with the cramming maybe
because no one gave a fuck about black widow it seems like
black widow it seems like black widow is
Joe Hanson
and you know
universally considered a hot chick
a hot woman
good body you know
I mean like she's a pin up
what everyone call her but also a very good actress
what was she doing before
fucking I mean I know she was in a man
wasn't there and she was in the ghost world
bunch of stuff but like what was she
was she kind of it's been around for so long
that who knows anymore but she used to be like an indie
actress so it's not even like she was like some
pin-up girl
uh and you know they didn't give her a solo movie
but it means also not the one of the most powerful characters
I don't know that's the reason but uh
you know my point is it's not like
because they'll make the look people make the case like
Ripley was like Ripley from Alien
and Alien 2 aliens and Alien 3
badass
one of the most badass characters ever
and like no one questions
her as a female lead
and there's a few others
so like the idea
that you have to cram it sure
it's less natural
and it's shittier
but there's also
look the effect like it's probably good
for women to have more
positive images and just like
the chick from fucking Twilight
I don't have that's PC to say either
the chick from Twilight is not a great role model
probably why can't she be the vampire
why she's like
getting formed over by a bunch of fucking i mean isn't twilight just shitty true blood i always watched
true blood in hboh it's the same idea but then a packman turned it to be a fairy so it was like
she had her own thing going on she was like i mean that show was cool for a couple it was sexy for a
couple years and then kind of kind of weird i stopped watching it but i like true blood it was like
this HBO vampire show with alexander scars guard and the other guy i don't know my point is
yeah make more women like buffy people love buffy and she was a bad bitch right she's a bad chick
it's hard to say it's hard to say how much is not like there probably isn't as much but you know
women probably were also worrying buying as much of this shit right like women despite you know
the the the wants of the certain advertisers or studio execs probably aren't going for the big
action stuff as much as the men i could be wrong about that you know back in the 80s when it was
all schwarzenegger and fucking you know salone and like cobra and fucking just you know predator
Were women, you know, as a rule, going to see that on their own versus Marvel?
I don't know.
Like, you know, they're just trying to make money.
Are they pushing the agenda?
Yeah, maybe.
Who knows?
Boy, please, be a man.
Stop fucking, like, freaking out.
But every time he thinks someone's trying to fucking...
Oh, Catherine Kennedy, you're fucking mean to the fans.
Oh, they should...
They don't like one white men go see the movies.
Why should they...
oh i won't pay for the movie fuck off you fucking nerd i'm sick i'm taking nerd back you're
fucking nerds that's not a good thing when the nerd co the idea of nerd culture is just disgusting
to me because here's why it's the same thing as fan culture it's fine to be a nerd but the idea
that it's embraced it's not fine to be a nerd but it's more important point it's like just strive
for well-round unless you're like some fucking genius don't be a nerd be a fucking well-rounded person
who enjoys things and enjoys other things you don't fucking i'm a
fan of Star Wars. That's not a
fucking identity, right? That's not a
personality. Your affinity
for Marvel movies is not a fucking personality.
When did it become personality?
Is liking Dr. Pepper a personality?
Huh? Is liking
tied detergent personality? These are
products, right? It's nothing wrong
enjoying a product. There's nothing
wrong with enjoying a narrative. But when did
it become a fucking personality
trait that you like something?
And the same thing with sex, too.
oh you enjoy sex you enjoy feeling good you enjoy pot you enjoy like oh i'm a big pot guy oh that's
that's your that's your that's your thing you're the pot guy you enjoy feeling good when did that
become cool like if any of these traits that we talk about the hero cycle or whatever like
you know any of the things that we like consider heroes and we consider admirable people and people
who ride
did people who like forego
personal pleasure and personal
like you know
gain and like
wealth for the greater good
or for the greater achievement
it's like when did like
hedonism become something we admire
I guess I'm not saying like oh
fuck
don't get me wrong
I'm not pure today I'm not saying
you shouldn't fuck
fuck all you want
but when did that become an admirable
just do it like I don't admire
that you fucking fuck people
good for you
but it's not like it doesn't do it for me
like it's not like something
where elevates you above stuff like who gives a shit
personality oh you fuck people oh well now i know you're
fucking that defines you no it's just every yeah you
you like the thing that everyone else likes sex or fucking dr pepper
whatever these are these are just things you like
they're things you enjoy when did it become who you are
so to identify yourself as the fans like fuck off will you like grow up
breed, yeah, I'm reading Hemingway
right now, and I'm not saying it's great. The guy's
kind of anti-Semitic, maybe.
Maybe, I mean, yeah, I mean,
I don't know, but it's also just
kind of a great transactional. I prefer Orwell,
but, you know, I'm trying new things.
I'm listening to classical music.
I mean, try things.
Broaden your horizon. Stop
watch, like, you know.
What's your favorite superhero movie? I don't know.
Why don't you go watch
fucking, you know, eyes wide shut again,
see if you can spot some more
interesting, you know, subtext there.
I want you to go watch a graduate and realize
it's not as good as you remember. That's happened to me recently.
Some, I was a young guy
in, in college, it was in some film class.
I used to hate Robert Altman.
Man, I always thought match was okay.
Match was like, ah, that's okay.
But you were showing us fucking, like,
McCabe and Mrs. Miller, and I thought
it was terrible. You know, it's fucking
Warren Beatty, and I forget who,
Fis Faye Dunaway, maybe. Whatever.
Then you're in the Old West. It's just kind of very
like
Alton's got a lot
overlapping dialogue
and kind of
it feels disorganized
feels very loose
and kind of
and I hate it
for some reason
I was going off about
it
because we used to have
like a thing
like three hour class
we'd watch the movie
and talk about
and I hated it
um
and the one thing
I don't like to blow myself up
and say I'm the one thing
I feel like I do
is I feel like you know
I'm always willing
to revisit
and see you know
am I wrong
I'm wrong about this
and so like 10 years later
I think I was watching MASH
like MASH is a great movie
was I wrong about McCabe
Mrs. Miller, because the same guy made him.
And so I gave it a shot again.
And it turned to be a fucking fantastic movie.
I love that movie.
Very nuanced, very subtle.
A lot of humor, you know,
unconventional humor.
And the overlapping dialogue is very satisfying.
Great movie.
So, you know, there's that.
And then it was,
nothing long ago, I was showing my girlfriend
the graduate, and I realized
that movie's a little more cartoony than I would like
to remember. It's not a bad movie, but it's not as
this isn't about the graduate.
When I first had a graduate was like, oh, it's like,
It's like a modern movie, but, like, from the 60s,
and they were doing the montage cutting and the music,
and it's like, all right, it's what they did, but it's kind of,
it's a little less, whatever.
And these are by my point.
We have, you learn, grow your,
don't just talk about fucking some Marvel shit,
some studio shit.
It's fun to watch.
It's fun to watch, you know, Game of Thrones.
I enjoy it, but, like, also watch the shield and the wire.
I mean, mostly, I'm not going to, look, definitely watch the wire,
but I don't feel like I have to say to people
but watch the shield
I mean honestly no I don't want to spoil anything
but nothing's done what the shield's done
really is a nuance
to it that you won't appreciate until you
I mean you'll
I've rewatched the first couple seasons of my girlfriend recently
and like immediately it's amazing
and like it doesn't disappoint
and it grabs you from the beginning and
the nuance is there but there's more
like just keep going with it because like
shows now breaking bad is fine
people but problem with breaking bad is stupid right for it's just a dumb show it's fine it's a good show
i wouldn't get mad if the people who told me how good it was ever watched the like the really
good stuff that i think it's great like hey watch the shield no americans no but like
because i yeah breaking man is a good show but it's also like spoil alert
stupid datling gun thing in the end fuck off well i think of the prison fuck off i mean a lot of this
shit. It's just kind of like
you know, oh, you know, this chemistry
thing didn't work out, so he became a high school chemist
and it's like, isn't there, you couldn't just got another job
doing chemistry, like, fuck off.
My point, it's kind of a dumb show.
Um, it's enjoyable.
But, uh, you know, watch the shield.
Watch the wire. Watch Rubicon.
Rubicon's, fans of this podcast and the other one,
Tim Dillon, you know, uh, going to hell.
If it, you know, I'm sure there's a lot of overlap, you know,
between you got, fan bases wise. If you like the,
like conspiracy shit watch rubicon
what is it's a show
that last one season on AMC
uh James Badge Dale who you might
remember as the
other corrupt cop and the departed
um
he's great in it
it's his whole it's hard to explain it's about
this about him working a think tank
that like is like really
a CIA front and like it's a private
you know it's a whole
it's kind of a fake it's kind of a 9-11
parable as far as like a false flag thing
I mean it's shocking that it was on AMC
and not shocking that only lasted a year
even if it wasn't cancer
for any nefarious reasons. Just like
no it wants. Advertisers
don't want that. I mean
does Colgate want to
advertise in the fucking show about the false
flag? No.
I mean, come on. The fucking
Purino one dog food? No.
This is not great for
making money.
But it was a phenomenal show really well made.
I haven't watched it in probably 10 years.
So if anyone knows where I can
I'm sure I could find out in torrents or something
but you know if anyone knows like where I could find
it streaming
but I think I think I endorse it
and it's my point like there's so much out there
you know to get hung up on like
the direction of like you know because
I enjoyed Infinity War
but if I didn't I was ready to write this thing
off and you should be too like
don't get like to be a fan
means to be like oh this is part of me
so if it does this
it changes me if it's bad
I'm bad if it's
starts to suck i start to suck i just enjoy it while it's here and then when it's not like
whatever like i the first four seasons of the west wing are some of my favorite seasons of
television ever made and the other three ranges from garbage to like acceptable and none of
ruins the first four seasons is my point i mean really first three and a half i mean the fourth season
towards the answer is get a little dippy but my point is like it's amazing i mean i think
You have to have a real heart of fucking stones.
I mean, people at the time, even now, go, oh, the liberal show.
I mean, look, the characters are liberal, but they really, I mean, their idea of liberalism versus it's a, you be, I'd love, if you hate the West Wing, hit me up.
They're going to, in the OG West Wing.
I want to have, I'd love to have some kind of situation where we're watching it, and I'm watching your eyes while Sam Seaborne's giving some fucking speech,
where the president's riffing some speech after some school shooting.
You know, the streets of heaven
The two crowd
With the angels tonight
And I'm gonna watch your fucking eyes
And you don't tear up slightly
I don't believe you
I'm a cynical fuck you're like I'm a cynical fuck you or me
And fucking I
That's the thing I love Aaron Sorkin
People hate Aaron Sorkin
He can be win baggy
He can be fucking little
I mean I
Am I an Aaron Sorkan fan?
You would think so
And like if it wasn't for these other
Any of these fans of other things
I would be have no problem saying I'm a fan of his
I'll see anything he does
It sort of the fucking play he did.
The Mockenberg.
The Mockenberg.
Point is like,
but not everything he does is great.
And you know what?
Whatever.
That's part of the thing.
Like,
not everything he does has to be great.
You stick with people.
People, you know,
because you enjoy your style and it's art.
So you fucking,
you let them take risks.
You don't fucking shit on them.
Every time I try to take a risk.
You go,
oh, it's coming from a place of this.
Maybe this, maybe it isn't.
But like,
let's be out.
You're garnering the fucking,
I don't know what this class of people is like they're not you guys are complaining that
masculinity oh they don't want white men none of you've seen that masculine there's nothing masculine
about whining about fucking captain marvel all right just get your shit done and do your thing
I just some guy who's talking about Star Wars a little time his videos all take place he's got
some fucking corvette or something in the background it's fucking yahoo and he's talking a lot of
shit like he's rich maybe he's rich maybe he's not but it's just
Like, I, do you really, do you want, is that being a man to buy into this guy?
You're gonna let this guy of his weird yellow carb talk shit to you when red carding remember this.
So don't fucking buy into these fucking fools.
Just fucking, let your own dick swing or pussy swing or pussy pulse.
Whatever the fuck it is.
Whatever general combination you have.
Like, whatever.
