Hello and welcome to comp. Hello. Hello, Lucy. How you doing? I like your drip today. Oh, thank you very much. Yes, this is my spring drip a little bit early. A little bit early.

I do see how it has, like, you know, it has some of the themes of the season in there. Sure. You know, just pain and friskiness and when there's blood in the streets, make a deal. It's my dad that always told me. When there's blood in the streets, hide in the basement and try to make a deal with people, you know, coming by, you know, what you got in the basement? You know, maybe you have supplies down there. you got bread and you swap them for some ball bearings you know yeah uh because springtime

is a time when people come out and you got you know people people been cooped up all winter and now they're ready to they're ready to get into a little trouble oh yeah and so you know it's it's it's it's a time of rebirth but also a time when uh you know maybe uh maybe uh maybe you get you get you get you come up, it's, for looking, you know, walking around, thinking no one can get to you. You know? Absolutely. Every time I look at a tree, you know, a cherry blossom tree blooming. Yeah.

I thought, I think it now comes the horror. Right. Well, I mean, what is your, do you have a springtime memory? A springtime memory. I mean, to be clear, I mean, like, you know, when you guys are, well, maybe you're still stuck in the snow in Milwaukee. but you know but when you get that first whiff of the warm air and then the and it's just a breeze you know and then there's sun in the sky yeah what what comes to your memory um i mean i remember

springtime when i was in school when i was a little kid yeah that was always the time of year when we had our like uh our big you know our big feats of strength the day like where we'd do tug a war and do relay races yeah that was kind of fun right i have this memory similar where because there was this kind of weird like uh you know like sometimes you're in the suburbs you have like a street that has like a thing in the middle with like uh two like like like grass and gets over overgrown because it's like what is that little island in the middle and walk past it and then way home from school and there would be and there was like from the in the spring i remember every time i think about it there was this like

dead fox or something I think it was a fox. It was small. A dead fox. But it just kind of rotted all spring. Wow. Into the summer. Maybe it was some kind of other thing, like a lynx.

I don't know what a fox is. Maybe it was a lynx. Yeah, that happens in the city sometimes, too. If you have a regular commute from one place to another. Every once in a while, you get to see the full cycle of decay of a squirrel or a rat. But I've never seen a rotting fox. Yeah, like I was a young. Maybe it was just a big squirrel that got, you know, it was bloated.

Yeah, I'm not, I'm not, don't hold me to it. Maybe it was a chipmunk, you know, I don't know. But I remember thinking it was a fox as a kid. But yeah, that's the thing. You grow up, a lot of people grow up thinking, oh, well, that's just someone's job. So like if something dies where it doesn't belong, it gets cleaned up. And as you get older, you realize that's no one's job. No.

I mean, if it is, no one's doing it. I mean, I guess there's other. And if they are, they can only do so much. Right. Maybe we just have so many more, you know, dead animals that just get like, you know, I mean, I passed one the other day. It was like a, it was like a, it was like a, it was like a rat. Um, and it's just, it was just there.

Did you call the rat czar? Who am I going to call? Who is that? Um, you know, Amy Klobuchar. Are we paying someone 300K a year to be our rat? Right. There was a rat czar. Whatever happened to that person?

I should definitely call the rat czar. In New York, we have a rat czar and I think they went to jail. But don't quote me on that. I don't want to be guilty of slander by saying the rat jar is in prison. Rat czar. Jarr. but it's possible it's not really a person

we're just playing 300K a year to a giant jar yeah that's full of rats yeah we just if I was the mayor of New York City I would just bury a jar every spring

in some disabused field every neighborhood gets their own jar like a big jug you know what I mean like what you what you'd serve iced tea out of at a family reunion or some kind of pick-up basketball game

and we'd bury it to be flushed with the ground and that's where we'd draw rats and you go, well, water get in there and make a rat soup and you go, well, that's an interesting question. We could put a lid, but I mean, someone's going to steal the lid because, you know, why wouldn't you steal the lid?

It'll just get you, and I go, and that might even be a faciegeous. Someone will steal the lid. They steal my mail. Yeah, I mean, that's not a bad idea. Like, there's, there's containers for everything that's supposed to be disposed of, right? Recycling cans, garbage cans. Right.

If you put a dispenser out there and said, this is for dead rats, probably a few people would be good sports about it and throw them in there. You know, it might incentivize people to start dealing with the rats. You know, if you knew there was something to do with it, maybe, maybe you get a little thing, a little nice thing. Every time you find a rat in a subway and you, and you take matters in your own hands, you bring it to the local jar, you get like a scratch off ticket or some kind of, or some kind of like, you know, plenary indulgence. Remember that? The whole thing that Martin Luther hated was like, you know, you go to heaven. Yeah. I'm sick of these, this whole Martin Luther don't sell tickets to heaven nonsense. We, I mean, ever, he was right. You're corrupt. How are you

in heaven now. I got, like, what, bathe the homeless? Probably even the people back then were like, we know they're not real, but like, yeah, it's like anything else. Let me just, let me, let me, I'll buy a ticket. Like, I'll build you a bridge, a peasant's footbridge and just give me a plenary indulgence. Oh, it's like when you have a kid, like some nephew or whatever. And they're like, oh, we're going to do a tea party. Like, well, all right. And they are here drink the tea. You know, they always do that. They put up to the stuffed animal. And they go, and you got to pretend like people tea is being drunk right for the sake of a child's imagination that's what this feels like that it feels like you know this is some kind of uh like sick

twisted what was I referring to just now uh the the plenary indulgences right the plenty of indulgences it's just like you know I'm going to build a peasant's bridge I'm sorry I couldn't I can remember that why didn't come up to the tip of my tongue that I was talking about plenary indulgences in 2025. But no, but you would build a footbridge for the peasants to some church. And there we go, well, here's a ticket to heaven. You know, thanks. I guess they were also just, you know, killing people and then taking the plent the indulgences. Right.

Like as bribes. I don't care. I'm doing that. If I kill a rat, give me a, give me, let me go to heaven. You know? What's wrong with the society? Why are we not incentivizing winning? We have a Patreon.

It's patreon.com. You get an extra episode every week. So if that's up your bag of tricks, and maybe you'll like that. Up your bag of your sleeve? Is that the expression? Up your bag of tricks? I think this is right up your bag of tricks, ma'am.

Jesus. No, but we have that. And so it's an option. And then we can move to a place where, you know, we're not being, you know, harassed by, you know, gangstalkers. Is that what they call it? You're getting gangstocked?

I feel like I'm being gangstocked all the time. I'm always, my head, my head's on a swivel. Yeah. And I saw some meme where it's like, women are la-di-da, men are just heading their swivel. And I was like, that's, that's me. That's me looking for who's going to, who's going to end my life? And also, don't forget, you know, if you don't want to take that big leap into the unknown, you know, at least like and subscribe to show.

Like and subscribe, notification bell. bag of ham uh you know kissed kiss kiss the milkman on the way out subscribe yeah to cump anyway uh but yeah no i i wonder sometimes if people are too um wary of the the the wild like like robbing animals to go out in the you know i mean you know like like I'm fine with it, but I mean, I wonder if people feel like, you know, oh, I'd love to go out to the state park, but what if I, what if I stumble upon, you know, a deer, right, or a person who's no longer, you know, part of the, part of the, part of the situation. What are you talking about?

Are you talking about people being worried about finding a dead body out there? Well, I have any kind. Yeah. Well, I'm definitely worried about that. Yeah, I mean, you should be. You wander around and I don't think you're mentally prepared. I've seen every sort of thing. I'm a man in the world.

So I'm not worried about it. But there are people who, you know, things are escalating out there. Things are, you call it class warfare. You can call it social, you know, angst. You can call it the end times. But people are trying to hunker down. tensions are high right and some people are trying to build some kind of fortress for the future would you want to move uh to the the line well you report some people don't know what that is

it's this i'm sorry well many people do know what it is but i think look you should you maybe you haven't seen this yet i've not heard about this to the day apparently so i'm sorry if i'm biased i had no idea to saudi arabia let's show this Saudi Arabia uh has been developing a 100 mile long skyscraper in the desert and apparently it's not going you have to what is it to highlight the uh well just just keep an open mind about it for a second I want to see if this trailer convinces you at all okay for too long humanity has existed within dysfunctional and polluted cities that ignore nature it feels like a call of duty game now a revolution in civilization is taking place and you get a gun

Imagine a traditional city and consolidating its... Well, your wife does what she's told. Designing to protect and enhance nature. The line will be home to nine million residents. Half of whom were in burghers. Just 34 square kilometers. And we are designing it to provide a healthier, more sustainable quality of life.

The lines... For the royal family. Look, it's three dimensions. So this seems like, um... It is three dimensions. Well, I would hope that the city would be three dimensions. intentional in the desert but uh yeah you know it seems like um it's being designed this seems like you know one of these like you know money funneling kind of operations but just like hey why why we bother

going to america with their tariffs and their and their and their and their risky business we'll just build a useless empty thing in the desert that no one goes to instead of instead of having skyscrapers in manhattan that no one is inside of that the press wages i'm not wages but you know that they increase the real estate cost for everyone, even people who live in very meager places, by trickle-that's a trickle-down effect. We'll just build an empty box. Well, they can live here too.

What's what I'm saying? They can build an empty box in the desert and not go to that. You know? They have green spaces in here. Let this raise the prices in Riyadh. Residents have access to all their daily needs. Look, business, retail.

Everything's a five-minute walk. He's like, don't do it. What happens? What happens is six minutes away? Don't worry about that. You don't want to know what happens six minutes away. Five minutes away is fine. You get a baguette.

You get some fresh honey. Six minutes away, you need a new wife because she's been taken. Your children have been commodified six minutes away. But five minutes away, ooh, is that a new coffee shop? And the line's infrastructure makes it possible to travel end to end, to end, 20 minutes. So this thing is a giant glass wall in a desert.

I mean, is this even a nice desert? That's a good question. I know very little about deserts, but I mean, it's just, I don't want to say it looks random, but it doesn't seem like anything is approaching this desert or this wall. Seems like they're just kind of in the middle

of a desert and nothing else. It just seems like normally you kind of build something and then you build something next to it. I guess it's Las Vegas, but you know. I wonder if there's any significance do it like kind of looking like it's invisible like yeah because it doesn't exist probably because it's all things fake i don't know with no need for cars resulting in zero carbon emissions which is good because we also have zero food and then the water is uh i mean do i even have talked

we're in the desert did you think glass made water i mean this is me i'm i'm just hoping be a middle manager at the line is what's called the line yeah you can be like the general manager of the cold stone creamery at the line yeah like did you people think there was water here they weren't a desert i'm here because i went through a messy divorce i tried to reinvent myself at the line by leveraging AI technology services are autonomous look there's like floating things are they saying we're going to have that there's going to be hovering in there? It's almost implying that there's going to be hovercraft.

Yeah, I mean, sure. Would you live at the line if you could drive a hovercraft? Would you live at the line if we could live with gummy bears and, and, and, uh, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, designed by world leading architects. The line is 500 meters tall. Why is they're just showing the Empire State building in the Eiffel Tower. So it's taller than them, but also a, I don't know, this doesn't seem sustainable. 200 meters wide. This seems like, this seems like, this seems like the best bunker.

Like, this seems like that movie, that movie, like someone watched that movie, uh, with the train. That was, that snow piercer. Snowpiercer, like, what was, that was just stationary. 10070 kilometers long and housed within an elegant mirror glass facade This feels like the next cube and year round temperate microclimate with natural ventilation

energy and water supplies are 100% renewable because it's people you are the energy I mean this is based of the matrix The line is designed as a series of unique communities Offering a wealth of amenities Providing equitable including holes for toilets Places to maraud

And immediate access to the surrounding nature What nature is a desert? Desert What nature With 40% of the world accessible within six hours What are you talking about? Like what? You're talking about like the ocean's like 90% in the world? Like well you can just go in the ocean and drift.

It's six hours. They mean they mean like it's six hours to the ocean and then you can go like access to the world. Right. Yeah, exactly. Otherwise there's nothing. And it's also like what kind of person who travels like all around the world for their job would ever live here? This, no, this seems like, this seems like a giant prison. Now, is it too nice to be a prison?

Well, there's the rub. At the heart of the globe's key trade routes. What? Place for commerce and communities. We like London and like New York and like Beijing, Shanghai, right? Mm-hmm. Not anywhere any of them. To thrive like nothing on earth seen before.

The line. The city that deluge. delivers new wonders for the world. Well, that's interesting. So I guess this has all gone very well. Well, you would think that it would be an astoundingly successful project, but actually they're having a little trouble. Right, okay, right, because that's what I call it a disaster in the other article.

Right. Okay, not because it was garrish. And like, you know, why would you give all, rich people are very upset? Why would you give all this amazing skyscraper to the poor? or the middle class but no apparently it's not good apparently it was a scam Saudi Arabia's 100 mile

skyscraper is turning into a disaster It's very interesting The Saudi Crown family Is megalomaniac dreams of building a gigantic city of the future In the middle of the desert are getting a brutal reality check Saudi Arabia's plans for

Neum a futuristic fever dream which includes a massive all-inclusive resort on the coast, a second ski resort in the mountains, and an up to 106 miles-long pair of 1,600-foot skyscrapers called The Line is running into financial problems. Here's the problem. Here's the overall problem. No one, and we'll get to the details in a second, but I mean, off the top of my heads, rich people, because this is a rich person's place, right?

They don't want something where you can do everything. Right. That's not the point of being. The point of being... That's a good point. It's not... Now, they might have the last laugh if the world turns asunder

and then the line is somehow, you know, just the line in civilization where you can still go skiing. We draw the line here against the marauding lords, the zombie overlords, and the liberal Nazis and the conservative Nazis.

Look, if the location were convenient enough, I would say this would be a great location for our idea for Divorce City, where our divorce A's have to go as a kind of punishment between, you know, time with their children. What was the difference of the divorce city that we,

and go, go, look, go subscribe to the comp and go back in the back channels and look for Divorce City. It was like a year or two ago. Great idea, great concept. What was the key factor? It's where you could afford to live once you got, you know, hosed in the divorce.

Right, yeah. Oh, it was also, but, you know, But it's also kind of legally opposite. We mandated it because, you know, your kids should live in a nicer house. So you had to stay in a divorced city. Rather than making your kid travel back and forth between two houses, you come to them. Right. And between those, you stay in a divorce city.

So Saudi Arabia is taking their idea and put a little spin on it where it's just like, you know, it's a glitzy prison that they're parading around as a resort. Exactly. You know, where it's like, you know, it's like, oh, this is kind of useless, but we'll make more sense. Like, it's almost like these skyscrapers in New York. Like, they're empty now, but wait until the water rises. Right. Like, oh, okay.

Still. Still, I don't think I'd like to live. Why can't it be in Greenland? Yeah, when are we getting Greenland? Is that happening? Next week, probably. I don't know. When's that happened?

Whenever Trump. Greenland fixes a lot of our problems. Whatever President Trump, the esteemed President Trump and Alam Musk decide to stop tanking our economy and by that I mean my wallet with their chaotic monetary policies or whatever you call it

fiscal policies, policies where they just threaten tariffs. I'm all for threatening other countries. Can we do it where it doesn't hurt my why I don't lose thousands of dollars? Whatever. As the Wall Street Journal reports, capital expenditure estimates to build the um to what officials call it's end state by 2080 uh and those costs have ballooned to

8.8 trillion dollars eight trillion dollars for the wall the line the line yeah the whole uh what what's what are the actual issues here what am i what am i missing what's what's what's the what's the cost or getting out of control it's expensive yeah they not know how much wood cost and metal cost? Is this because of tariffs? Well, I guess it probably has something to do with, like, I would guess it has something to do with all of these different areas of it that they want to create. Like, creating kind of like a natural environment while also basically doing a bunch of condos.

Is this going to be the new Branson, Missouri? Branson, Missouri is a place in Missouri where, like, it's a city they built where it's just like it's all, it's like the number one live music capital of the country or whatever. it's like all family acts and then it's just and like you go see country music or whatever and it's real nice um and no one's no one's there you know screaming about their pussy you know no one's there if i have an open wound oh oh you know like what what am i he's a riddle no one's playing riddles when they introduce himself and um no one's protecting you know you from the police trungeon

either you know it's a simpler way yeah simpler i don't know it's so it's it's like that you never heard branson missouri no i haven't oh wow it's a real popular you're not i'm man of the people it sounds fun it's fun for me i don't want to be there you me and dana should do it is you should start a family act go to branson you you want the streets are paved with gold you want to revitalize you might you want you tell me you want to revitalize the uh vaudeville model with our cat and go to the brains in Missouri and then do what what's our act what do you I and my cat do like well well you know we got to fit we got to work out the details but you know maybe Dana can do you know she's actually a great jumper you know she could do her jumps through hoop right we play the banjo

I think I should if we do she do an act where I the cat comes to me saying she wants you know she's a boy now and I start berating her and bringing out the Bible right I go this is the God doesn't want you to make decisions all right just get go to the line get in line at the line you know Riyadh is and the cast just looking at me and no one understands what's going on these people in Branson are like look we we we like that you're being you know you're being assertive you're the you're the big daddy uh we don't we don't know what the line is we we didn't read that article. I know your wife thinks that everyone knows what the line is

because they follow Saudi Arabian real estate developments. So, I mean, where, the rich don't, the rich want like to be able to like, yeah, I'm in Stade and now I'm in, you know, Montecito. Right. I'm in Palm Springs, Palm Beach.

They're like the jet set. They like to move around with the seasons. that's what they like they don't like the idea of being in like i mean because this thing is big right there's not that many rich people there's a lot of rich people compared to all you know but they're not i don't know if there's enough to fill like how many people go into the line right does it say uh what's the capacity of this million of this thing i mean it's got to be at least 10,000 people right I don't know if that's even been determined yet

that seems reckless well anyway oh it's a nine million residents yeah I mean no one wants rich people don't want to live with nine million other people yeah they want to live at the end of a train line somewhere yeah it takes three hours to get there right I mean it's also like how do you build a nice estate in the line how do you flex how do you how do you build how do you like subjugate the

local government of other rich people to build like Ira Renner and build the biggest estate in the Hamptons. Right. Or it's technically some, it's the Hamptons. You know, how do you do that? What's this called? What's that how it's called? A trillion dollars?

You can't do that in a box. People just want simple things. People want, you know, a nice cold beer. They want, you know, a weapon, preferably a gun. And they want baseball or some, you know, football. They just they they they they would you know what they want right stop building you know exotic exorts this is going to end up being like like like a giant uh like waste like a like a mad max thing yeah yeah it seems it doesn't seem well conceived and then there's i don't know there's another part in here about like they're just like manipulating costs but i think they just started lying about Who is doing this? Is this the royal family?

That's getting involved in this? Who's making the line? Right. Yeah, well, it's, yeah, it is. It's the Crown Prince's like. Sovereign wealth fund. Yeah. I don't, like that, the guy who locked a bunch of billionaires in like a hotel.

Right. And they made them sign over to as well. I don't know if I get in a box of that guy. Muhammad bin Salaman. I mean, I love to, you know, if he wants to. reach out. I'm open-minded. I love to say, you know, if you want wine and dine to come podcast and most, and you know, maybe, maybe we can tour. I would not take an invitation. I'd say if we want to take a little, let's go on a tour of the line. We would never come back

at it. We would never leave the line. The line is a very ominous name. Oh, man, imagine having the whole line. Would you live in the line if you could have the whole line to yourself? What do you mean? Like, like, I am legend. Like I'm Will Smith. I'm slapping Chris Rock for a turn. I'm I mean, I guess it has a lure. I mean, is it going to run? Or am I going to be, is it going to be hot? I mean, maybe it'll kind of be dysfunctional in some areas, more functional in others. I feel like it's always hot.

There's nobody there, but you, you can't, you know, there's not a staff running it. Right. So, yeah, probably not. I probably won't go out to the desert by myself and stumble upon a giant, you know, one mile long skyscraper or 20 mile long skyscraper. Fair enough. And just squatting it. I think maybe I'll take a chateau before that moving on what we got here was this is uh so look

I mean we there's a lot of flux going on with the different with the government and society people are being heard and uh Robert Kennedy Jr. the son of Robert Kennedy senior it has been made to help the human services director and you know i thought he was going to deal a lot with uh food with you know making food less this you know bad for you maybe maybe you know take the food out of my mouth hey this is let's cook this and this is cooking trans fat all right make it illegal make it easier for me go ahead you know i i don't know if you have to write is this is American but whatever fine but it seems

like all he wants to do is like talk about anti-semitism and now Oh right yeah that we're let me see if I could find that that's strange Yeah it's fun It's just like you know But now he's got like A new thing

You have you out of here Yeah so Robert Kennedy links measles outbreak To poor diet and health In a recent interview the health secretary also suggested that the measles vaccine had harmed children in west texas oh this is the different okay this is the new thing so he's linking so kennedy uh robert kennedy junior because this came out last week uh the people oh you know you're anti

vaccine well there's measles right there's measles outbreak in texas because people are not getting vaxed and his response to that is to say the measles outbreak is linked to poor diet and health site infringed. So what is, what's going on here? He issued a muffled call for vaccinations in the affected community but said the choice was a personal one. He suggested that measles vaccine

injuries were more common than known contrary to extensive research. He asserted that natural immunity to measles gained through infection somehow also protected against cancer and heart disease, a claim not supported by research.

Okay, so look, so first of all, I don't think the Inde-Semitism is going to get the burger on my hand. And you say, oh, you keep the burger out of your own hand. I agree, but he got involved. But now, so now he's focused on the health, but his whole thing is, you know, well, it's causing measles. But with the, what policy is this, is, are we outlawing Oreos because of this? I don't know. Can we bring up some pictures of kids with measles?

Are they all fat? are these kids all just like the fattest kids you've ever seen let's see i mean these yeah these kids let's see here we got here okay these kids don't look that fat to me no these are kids these are measles kids they don't look like porkers do i don't see a porker in the lot i mean i guess that kid's arms are a little chubby in the left this seems like that might be the inflammation from the measles you know look i mean these do i'm yes And these might be influencers, to be fair, you know, who, you know, the media gives you a false body image of the world. And babies is no exception.

Yeah, I was a terrible looking baby. Is every baby is cute. It's not true. So these babies don't look that fat. So, I mean, I don't understand really what is his, what's his point here? Can he just do what you? I mean, here's the thing. It's easy to shoot your mouth off about Hormel, chili, and Heinz ketchup and Coca-Cola.

cola but you know they tend to have a lot of lawyers people get involved i don't know i mean so it just seems like just just outloss just give me something give me something to work with you right yeah i mean i there was like one kid who died i guess right for like the most recent outbreak i that was the first time in a while a kid has actually died of measles in the country so he was so fat that he fell through like a boardwalk and died is that what happened and ablaving on the measles. This kid was so fat that he tried to go into a boardwalk on the island because he was planning on going to the into the

into the cyclone roller coaster, which could have killed a lot of people. So maybe it's for the best that he felt through the boardwalk because he was so fat, where it was measles. The worsening measles outbreak, which has largely spread through a Mennonite community in Gaines County has infected nearly 200 people and killed a child.

Okay, so it's the first death in 10 years. Oh, these are men. So it basically was the Amish people, basically. Yeah, I think it's generally, like, in those communities. Also in New York, I think, like, Orthodox Jewish communities have the same thing. Like, they're less likely to get vaccinated for measles. And they're fat? And they're fat as fuck.

Interesting. I don't know what anyone wants for me in this case I would like for these kids to get better but we're gonna pretend like you know it's kind of like when a doctor you know when you go like hey like I have this fucking

like pain in my arm like it's like a wound here it's like an infection it's like I don't know we're kind of overweight you know I understand that but this is like an infected arm yeah you know like it's like you can see the puss.

I think I was bit by an animal of some sort. I'd be better if you were less fat. Doctors really, and I get it. I mean, it seems like they're supposed to be smart people. So you would seem they'd be able to kind of like process

that and then move on, but they really don't like it when you're fat and you ask her help. Right. Like, hey, I've got shot. Well, you're kind of a fat fuck. Right, but you know, it's like, I was protesting the, uh, I was protesting the line in Riyadh. I was shot in the shoulder. You know, I was shot in the line riots.

Oh, you shot at the line riots. We were all trying to rush into the line. And the doctor was like, well, you know, did you try, you try, you know, being, not being disgusting. Maybe they should they didn't shoot you because you were fat and you were going to eat all the food. Like, I'm not, I guess I'm not sure. Yeah, this is just getting rid. Honestly, I was, like, open-minded about Robert Kennedy a little bit.

Yeah. I was like, maybe, you know, you start mandating, you know, cattas for children. Yeah. Everybody would get less fat. It'll be just better time in general. Right. And some sodas. Yeah, like, you know, I was down for all of that.

We're all, like, America's all about balancing liberty with, like, helping people. Yeah. Kind of. Not really balancing. But, you know, but, like, that's the idea. Like, we're always kind of conflicted, in theory, with, like, you know, we don't want to encroaching your rights, but also like you know these companies are feeding you poison and they're advertising and it's like yeah that that is true that does seem to be true they are they are selling poison with advertising and

they're programming you eat the food they get them when they're young yeah and so it's like maybe i don't you know maybe you shouldn't have the right to stop it but all right let's see where this goes and it's like these fat measles kids yeah it's like this is just free associating like you know it's like my kid died of measles twix is the problem yeah which You know, again, it couldn't hurt to not eat twicks, I guess. I mean, you tell that's how much joy I get out of twicks? Me and my friends are the line. Me and my friends who live in the line, we all love to eat twixes.

And that night we go out with torches. And we find stragglers. Speaking of doc. I wonder if, like, you know, it's, there's always, I feel like this will be a problem for, forever. Yeah. Yeah, just follow me here. But, like, I, there's always going to be this problem where something gets invented, something gets resolved, and it fixes things.

And people live without it for a while. Yeah. And they just assume that they don't need the thing that got rid of it out. What's the history of mental illness, right? Like, it's not every single mental illness case ever. It's like, hey, like, here's some drugs to help you. Oh, thanks. Now I don't need them.

It's like, well, here's the rub. We didn't cure anything. think we just we just we just we just shove some mayonnaise in your head that stopped you from like you know wanting to touch the girl on the subway or whatever i don't want to stigmatize mental illness but i just did and i don't care um whatever come at me um so yeah i mean where would what what would you like to see him do i would like to see three things i would like to see him outlaw um gummy worms I like to see him put like a build some kind of contraption where I'm chasing

an animal throughout the city like that would be a fun thing Oh kind of like a merging like a treadmill with Pokemon Go or something Yeah but I'm just but I just have like a big raccoon tied to my like around my waist Oh that's fun. A rope and then he's running

and like and if I fall like I guess like, you know, if I, I also have like a knife on my head to hurt me if I fall. Or maybe just a brick, a brick tied to my head. So I fall, it's going to hurt my head. You know, because you need that carrot and stick. Right. So you have, you have a, so I'm just running, just trying to keep up with the raccoon. Because if I let it go and then I'll trip on the way.

I mean, I think a raccoon could pull me down, but I feel like trying to catch up and keep up with them, I could trip on a curb and then the brick will kind of compound the impact. Can I ask you a question about this? Yes. what is your incentive to catch the raccoon um no well it's just because it's maybe good point it should be like a horse right i should be tied to a horse because a horse could drag me down scratch the raccoon good point rack keep the big rock on my head um and i'm tied to a horse and i go through central park yeah i like that sure i bet you do i bet you love the idea of me being tied to a horse

Can I be on the horse? Yeah, you can be on the horse. Hell yeah. I mean, honestly, the fact that you're not means you don't care about me. So, congratulations. What would you like from Santa Kennedy? I think that he should ban, you know, two-liter bottles of soda. That's my favorite thing.

And, you know, he should ban. I think he should also do, involve, include some kind of mandated, like, or, or just available kind of, like, plastic surgery. We don't have universal health insurance in this country, and we might never have it. Right. But you wanted to give, like, you know, the biggest, the biggest blowjob lips you wanted, or the, or the stiffest forehead you wanted, just for free. It's a pretty good concession.

Where would the lips go? Where would they go? Like the blowjob lips go. Like, I might, I, they're going to put, like, they're going to put the lips on my junk. Oh, you, you mean, oh, you, no, no, you, you could get them. I don't want to blow your lips. Okay. Well, then you might.

If you want to put, like, if you want to put, like, if you want to put some kind of disembodied lips on me, I'm, I'm open to the idea. If you want, maybe there's also a thing where, do you want some holograms in your, in your, uh, pupils? I want holograms everywhere. Mm-mm. There's nothing, there's nothing more exotic. futuristic than a holograms are I mean when I was a kid they you know the best thing in the world was when you have a comic book or a baseball card that had a hologram you had you had you know you find a hologram of like a butterfly you know this is like I'm going to tell

anybody because it's kind of lame but like I love holograms I love them I don't know what they are I don't know how they work something with lasers I'm kind of amazed that we don't have a hologram pop a big hologram pop star in the US yet right they've had them in Japan for a while well they have Is who's a who's the big hologro? I don't know. So how to be clear, you're talking about the holograms like when Tupac was a hologram. I don't remember when Tupac was a hologram. He was the first one.

He was the first person to become a hologram? I think so. That's crazy. Well, for a big, big, first big one. Yeah, who'd you think it was? You know, Gorford doll? It just seems random. How is he chosen?

Because he was dead. I don't. I don't. Did you, did you? happening about a book called The History of Holograms by Rake-home I don't know Here she is

What are you showing me This is the this The Japanese Hologram girl This is Hatsune Miku So she looks like an anime girl Yeah She's released over a hundred thousand songs In multiple languages

I mean how is this Formed sold-out concerts I don't know who's this for It's for children Her image has appeared in games, on TV, in car races, and has even etched on the side of a Japanese space rocket. All right, enough of this. Who's this growing on a bikini? Oh, is this the actual, like, singer?

I don't know. So this is, I don't, so you have, like, an anime girl. Or grown men, like, in Japan, like, going to these concerts and going, like, yeah, this is, this is for me. Or is this for little kids? I mean, I mean, I'm not exactly sure. I think it's probably a youth culture thing. Right. But I don't know.

If businessmen were going to see this, would it be that crazy? Yeah. No, it'd be really weird. It would just weird to have vending machines where they sell used panties. Like, oh, that's not, no, that's weird. But you can say it's weird. They dropped bombs on us. Like, we don't have, we don't, like, I don't know where his idea where we can't offend Japan came from.

Right. Like, you guys, like, in scale of war, you go, oh, you blockaded oil and you wanted this to attack. Like, well, you found. for it. I don't know what to tell you. We wanted to become a global hegemon. That's how we did it. You played yourself. But I mean, no, it's like some of the, not everything that one does this stuff in Japan. That's the thing.

Plain people don't do it. But like, I don't know why they get a pass. Some people give them a pass, like for their creeps. Like our creeps are much less ingenious. I'll give you that much. Our creeps tend to just goose you, you know? Or like, or put you in some kind of like, you know, back to your dungeon they built. Right.

Because it better at building things, maybe. not like now i mean like it's a Japan built tremendously great things but i think they tend to be a culture where you see less like building of a of a of a of a makeshift dungeon to keep your daughter or whatever which i've seen you know in the western world more of i feel like but you know

the fact that she's like you know that you had to learn how you had to go to juliar not juliar pratt who draws anime people go to pratt people go to the school of visual arts I don't know how you get into the anime world there's a big you know just because you have an artistic credential

doesn't mean you're not creep that is a good point but that means I don't think the creep well I'm all over the place here it's better what do you think is better being a grown man and going here going to a concert like this or watching tentacle porn

I mean this is you know I'm not answering any of this am I being questioned in the closet of the line this feels like you know in the line you every week you have to go and like you know and answer a bunch of weird like you know taking another IQ test and it's just questions like this tens of go porn or this like why know you people are into and this you don't like any answer I give you this is the last question you hear in the line interrogation right they start ripping your fingernails off yeah they probably rip a few first just for good measure um so that's great but whatever uh so like I guess there's holograms in Japan but you know What will we have here? We have more holograms? Well, you say, I mean, since you're such a fan of holograms, maybe you should start seeing a hologram doctor. Because, you know, they have those now.

This is what we have here. And Japan is a pop star. Here, it's a doctor. So the hologram, this is the Wall Street Journal? Yes. I don't know where they lie on things. I don't trust it. But they're supposed to be conservative, but then, you know, I don't know.

the hologram doctor will see you now oh i get it a tennessee cancer clinic is beaming doctors out in rural areas a new model of telehealth that goes beyond clunky video conferencing systems this is interesting so this is the thing where like i'm a hologram um i like i go a doctor like so i basically i go next to 7-11 and uh i get myself like you know a cheeseburger big bite that's pretty dry but it's been there for two days and and a big gulp of dr pepper and then and they house that and then i go see my hologram doctor next you know in the basically the shack next to it and that's the doctor's office because a lot of these places in around the country don't have enough space for like you know a doctor to like you know or just

not enough people for doctors or what why is this well do they always have doctors why why why why Why do we need hologram doctors? Well, this is apparently a solution to a lot of people, like in rural areas. Yeah. Hospitals are understaffed. Right. Yeah. It's not as easy to see a doctor.

Right. So this is the solution. If you're out in rural America, you see a hologram. That's what you get. And you slurp it down and you enjoy it. Okay. So the point is you go into an area, you know, so urging. cares are one I've been to urgent cares and then you know and you have someone

growth in your leg and they tell you well you have to go to the ER like well I don't think it's that bad and they go we can't help you I mean why they pay you a hundred dollars but now I get to go and then I'll see I'll see a guy who's dressed up as an anime character a school girl can my doctor be a little anime school girl this looks like it almost looks like he is pretending that he's in heaven this doctor yeah it's like it's like it's a video he made for his grandchild to help her cope with his death. Grandpa's not alive anymore, but you have his genes,

so you're also going to have heart disease when you're older. I don't know. Why is he like old drug? I mean, he's just, he's in, like, he's in, like, Detroit in some, like, abandoned hospital slash, you know, like, you know, hydroponite grow house. And, like, I mean, the company, the author came. All right.

So last year, some cancer patients in Tennessee and Mississippi got a startling offer. Instead of video conferencing with oncology specialists located hours away, they could see a hologram doctor courtesy of the same special effects that projected to Jonas Brothers and other celebrities at live events. So that's good. So it's like, you know, hey, you're already like dealing with your cancer over the phone, right? Right. Or Skype. You're already Skyping about your cancer. how about instead of watching it on your on your on your bootleg iPad your Android tablet you

you know you get you get to see me in all in 3D you came from West Cancer Center and research institute a health system that employees about 61 doctors uh it's doctors typically spend hours on the road so they basically on the road a little time so instead of being on the road they can they can be holograms now um you get my body language my hand mode I'm a squid on the bottom, but you don't necessarily see that, but I know. That makes you feel better. I'm a giant squid. There's expression that is able to be conveyed, which, as you can imagine, is an oncology visit is very important.

You're not pixelated. They aren't crazy parts of your body missing. It's really amazing. Patients, however, aren't being projected as holograms. and the doctors in the clinics. They communicate via camera, and you're an intentional choice, Richly said, to give the patient rather than the doctor

the more realistic experience. Sure, you're doing it for the patient. You're doing it for us, not because it's expensive to build elaborate hologram rigs. So this is not really helping anything. This is like making you feel better about the fact that the guy is like in the Taco Bell drive-through, like, you know,

like looking at your carpozy scars. You're fucking, you know, you're friggin' legions. I also just, like, imagine, like, the same, like, sympathetic nod, right? That guy just, that's just getting recorded and projected out to, like, 10 different patients. Yeah, you're shoving your, you're shoving your crotch in this guy's face effectively, in his hologram's face. And he's still, he's got, like, the camera, he's driving an Uber. And he's got, like, mounted on, like, the dash. He's glancing over.

Oh, all right, yeah. Yeah, that can be bad. That looks gooey. Had to smell, sweetie. Has the wound smell? Mmm, not good. You know it's going to be like, it's going to have AI like listening to the guy.

And soon some like diagnosis, like he's going to come off mid-sentence and go, if you want the full diagnosis, please upgrade the pro model. This is great. I can see the patient well enough to recognize a rash or a lump or a problem. Hey, I've been doing this for years. I'm really good at being a doctor. I can see well enough to see a rash or a lump or a problem. I can't feel everything.

But oftentimes, that's all we need. He's what, sweet, sweet, sweet hot, sweet hot. I want you to reach down there. Just feel the lump. Was it, squishy? Does it have some purchase to it? What we got here? What are we dealing with?

Don't mince words. It feels hard. Oh, hard's not good. I love how you need to get limousine health insurance now to get a doctor to touch you in a way you don't even like. Right. Yeah, it's like to grab your own balls and call off. The hardware and software is provided by proto-hologram,

a Los Angeles-based startup known for creating holograms at concerts. Well, that's great. that's i mean who's come up with this the fucking the guys who the guys who made the jones brothers uh what i don't know what they call their tour like the you know we kiss each other sometimes tour what is it one of them know are they all alive still one of them fell off a balcony and died that wasn't one of the jonas brothers it was i think i think there's no i think that was a different guy i think that was one of the guys that was a guy from like something else he was in like a different band oh maybe that was oh that's right yeah yeah he was one direction then i guess

oh it was one direction sorry about that right no those girls they're all alive if they're not then i won't be i promise you that much everyone if the drones brothers don't live i don't live i don't want to live in a line without the jonas brothers but yeah i will not i will not be going to riyadh without even at least one jonas brother so that's really it was interesting it's interesting uh development i mean i would love to get some uh i would love to get some stuff looked at in the middle of the night and just have and have a doctor's you know digital face staring up at my asshole this seems this seems ideal it seems like an ideal situation i mean this really is the age of like this is the golden age of and and companies are really starting

to kind of get in line they're starting to figure things out for the consumer you know they really so we got southwest will begin charging for check bags ending a popular policy i didn't know they had free check i don't i never check my bag oh i did it's okay i hate it when you do you check your bag and you and your bags you gotta wait for an hour yeah well some guy tells you how we won his trip where we were in new orleans once the guy was telling say we i want my trip for marlborough miles like that's great dude and he's like wouldn't shut about it um but you know lifelong friend though great guy love you bob customers with the highest loyalty status will be spared from the fee but others will have to pay for checkback

well people might you know take issue with this um because you know airline this there's never been of time i remember where air travel seemed more precarious you know 9-11 might have been a bigger effect on the situation but i mean i don't remember planes having issues anyone near as much as they have now you know there was crashes there was the thing in career where it went into a wall you know there was the plane that landed upside down and they gave one 30k which is like a you know very strange game show um yeah and you would think like some people might go well yeah maybe it's not the best time to like you know take away benefits and i say this is the best time because people like to you know play games people like to go well we have all the leverage you know oh i'm going to complain

about all these air prices because, you know, you guys aren't keeping a safe. And they go, this is how you nip that in the bud. When your company, when your industry is in the middle of a, and this is business advice for the future, right? Yeah. This is, like, this might as well be a business podcast right now. When your company is facing scrutiny, when your industry is facing scrutiny, because there are a lot of problems that, you know, are dangering people.

take more away from them. Anytime you're in a situation, take more away. You know, oh, someone ate, someone got sick at my restaurant, sued them for slander. Also, take menu items off. Oh, you know, oh, your pizza sauce gave my kid autism. Well, no more pizza sauce for anyone.

You start making a squeak, because he's like, squeaky wheel gets the grease. But if you stop giving out grease, then everyone gets mad at the squeaky wheel. Right? That's right. That's how you deal with a customer. So you go, oh, it's easier to retain a customer than, you know, it's five times less to retain a customer than to get a new one.

Well, what if I just, you know, make a problem with the reservoir? I dump a bunch of stuff in there and then no one can drink water. You still have a problem with my cellster bottles, you know, having sharp objects in them? You still have a problem with that? you know you make a bigger problem right that's how things get solved i wonder how you prove that you're the highest loyalty customer how do i prove of the highest loyalty you're asking me how i would prove if i get a tattoo if i get a tramp stamp of a southwest airline's plane now we're not will they check my bag for free it'd be clear not everyone knows what tramp stamp is or are they still

have an attitude that's a very millennial thing to talk about you know we're trying we're trying be trending for the young don't forget tramp stamps or when a woman gets a tattoo and a lower back and it used to be a real nice thing they went away because we used to have it was maybe because we have we have high wasted jeans now but i used to love those low wasted jeans with a little whale tail on a tramp stamp oh yeah nice stuff the odds were a great time um so what you're saying if you have if you have a whale a tram stamp what of a southwest airlines plane will they check my bag. I would put you in jail. If I'm southwest, I'm putting you in jail. You know how you prove your high low. Right? Hard to get. Yeah, you play hard to get.

You go and you go, you know, if you want to mess around, you know, we have flights that go to the line in Riyadh. Is it in Riyadh? Is it in Riyadh or Saudi Arabia? I only saw Saudi Arabia. Yeah, I don't know I keep saying Riyadh, Riyadh, the city. The line is in a desert. I don't if that's the only thing that you take issue with, you keep saying in Riyadh, it's not in Riyadh. It's a prison in the desert. How would I approve on the South West? I would get up and start screaming on the plane.

I would get up, I would, if someone had a baby, I was asked if I could borrow the baby for a moment because people are less likely to attack you when you have a baby in your hands. That's why parents have a, you know, oh, like, you know, you need to incentivize people that have kids. Just start attacking people. You know, make that known.

First of all, get that out there, that we're going to start billy clubbing people, but less likely if you have a baby in your hands. You'll start people who are having kids overnight. Make up a necessary prop. But I would start out of gab and I would start screaming on the plane, I'm not happy with the way things are going. I pay a lot of money to have my body massaged by professionals. And now you're going to make me pay to have my bags checked?

are they what erotic massage i don't know what that means i'm not going to answer that all right i have a problem with my bag and i would just start i would start shaking and and and then i would say the flight attendant like you know you know you thought you thought uh things were bad before wait a way till we get to saudi arabia i would say this plane's going to south this plane's going to Saudi Arabia now and they were and they were really go no it's not and people are freaking out yeah so we start like we got up in the air oh yeah people always start freaking out while they're sitting that's the wrong move if anyone ever gives you if you got I've seen it happen myself on planes where people like we're kind of

getting I get it because like you know it's they're they're in the back it sucks back there people don't they don't feel like a person unless you're in first class and then like you know you get started someone starts giving you shit and then you have no recourse you wait until you're in the air and then you start screaming about how this plane's going to go to Saudi Arabia now and now people are panicking and go what's going on is this guy is this guy in charge well he's yelling the loudest interesting what an interesting development this is and they start you know putting a strain on on the flight staff and then uh that's that's when you have people in a position to start giving you nice things you know how about a

comp bag check how about a nice wine spritzer how about we tie you to the chair that could happen to but you have to you know it's all about taking the initiative now never threaten anybody yeah but you know it's like if you if you are that going to be that guy yeah the best thing you can do is is is to demand something simple like a free checked bag right this plan's going to Saudi Arabia unless I get my bag check for free I'm like we're confused did you check your bag already I did but I to pay. I would like I would like to even be paid back for that. You can give me drinks. Give me whiskeys

at least. Give me four whiskeys on the rocks. Face them out. Doubles. Four doubles. And then I will and then we can go where we're going. Branson. But otherwise, we're going to Saturday. And then people, like, it's going to get

hairy. Because the flight time's going to be like, what are you talking? We're going where we're going. But people are going to panic. People around you. The people eating smelly food and eating out of the kid's diaper, you know? These people would debate. This was, you know, do you think your parents do that? Do you think these parents ever, like, just start eating out of the kid's diaper?

Disgusting. On a plane? I don't know. Whatever. That says, I'm not going to speculate, but it's just possible. It's possible. But these are the people who are going to help you. Not, you know, if you say the right things.

If you panic them, panic other people. Make other people panic. you don't panic you stay calm you make other people panic but not the target not the people you know what I'm saying you have to make your surroundings panic and and then the target is vulnerable yeah and the target's just getting your bank check for free yeah it's not that big of a deal right I'm not asking you release someone from prison some you know who's a war criminal whatever you know there's not the 70s right I just don't want to pay that my bag check If you don't meet my demands, I'm taking this plane to Saudi Arabia, and it's not that big of

I think it's fine. I think people need to wisen up, you know, start doing push-ups, start doing sit-ups, get your blood moving, feel better about yourself, and, you know, stop. And look, if something does feel off, you go to the line, you go to the shack inside of the line, Saudi Arabia, and you open, you know, the, you know, the, you open, you know, the the hydraulic you know uh processing room slash doctor hologram and you and you and you take off your clothes and you and you ask him do you see any you know carpozy scars or whatever you know do you see any you see any lesions or lumps you know in my back and he'll you know you'll he'll he'll

bunch on a hot dog and look I mean he's going to sometimes you're going to have a guy eating a hot dog you know just telling you you I'm sorry you're cervical cancer oh god shake shacks actually better than i remember it is by the way it is oh it's honestly i i slept done that for years it's actually pretty tasty smash burger because you smash the patty down and you get more surface area or something i don't know it's it's marvelous
