Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to Sab Boys, a podcast about feelings and other things also. I'm Jarvis. I'm Jordan. What's up, man? How's it going? I got, thank you for asking. I'll take it back. Oh.
Starting point is 00:00:11 And that's the show, everybody. I, uh, okay. All right. So this is a, this is a segment I like to call. I know I'm in the right and this feels bad and I need you to tell me that I shouldn't feel bad and it's the other person's fault in there bad actually. I'm going to read you. You had a battle of the minds online.
Starting point is 00:00:27 I'm going to read you some hinge messages. Okay. Six, one and a half, by the way. A big deal. Look up his hinge. Find a, find it. Match with somebody. Nice.
Starting point is 00:00:37 Discuss. Discuss some travel. Okay, nice. I'm not going to get into too many specifics. They said, oh, wow, the view must be stunning. Then they told me what neighborhood they're in. And then I said, do you want to grab a drink in your neighborhood this weekend? Okay.
Starting point is 00:00:52 And they said, I'd love to, but I have family in town, and I'm going to take them around. Are you free next Tuesday? And I said, yes, do you want to do Tuesday the night, which was yesterday? And they said, yes, smiley face. So we're up, we're up. Then I go, how's this place, how's this bar in this neighborhood at seven? That sounds good, smiley face. I immediately respond, you know, it's a date, whatever.
Starting point is 00:01:22 Then a few days go by. It's Monday, one day before Tuesday famously. Rebecca Black told me about that No that's a different day of the week Oh fuck I said hey still on for tomorrow at 7 Then I followed that up with Here's my phone number if anything comes up
Starting point is 00:01:39 And then the last thing I sent Was And two hours before the date was supposed to happen I just checking in And I've bumped again Because the very good follow up Nothing, nothing, nothing, you know, nothing crazy.
Starting point is 00:01:58 You're not trying to blow someone up, but they, uh, yeah, never heard from him again. Interesting. Interesting move. And I feel bad about that. That's, um, I mean, that's just like, so, it's just like bad in a very vanilla way. Yeah. Where it's, everybody, everybody likes to run. Everybody likes to lop as a ghosting.
Starting point is 00:02:21 I'm so sick of people. You know what they're like? Oh, I would never do something. like that. I always recycle throws trash and mouth of person outside. Right. Obviously not. It is people, ghosting is so easy and
Starting point is 00:02:35 it, all you have to do is not respond to something, which is my favorite thing to do. You know, it isn't super disrespectful. Then I won't be a red pill about it, but I think. Well, it's like, you know, it's like, it feels a little bit worse than ghosting because ghosting I'm kind of cool with, like, I just don't mind.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Well, there's inconvenient. when you yeah because you make because when you set aside time i could have been hanging out with the boys yeah you know i could have been doing a fun little thing and obviously i can reschedule but i'm i'm a little bit of a busy guy i'm a little bit of an energy manager where i like to make sure that i'm not over you know uh over packing my schedule tiring myself out i i like to keep a good balance of of doing stuff to rest so you're popping it on the there and then you're spending that cheese day and not being too out and about because you know you want to conserve a little bit of it gets to the moment doing my little work day thinking hey i've got something to look forward to this evening and then you have all that extra energy you start floating your powers activate in moments of rage i can tell my eyes like are just pure white pure white they roll back in your head and then it's because this girl didn't respond yeah now i'm just yeah now i'm just meditated over my bed your carry covered in blood yeah i That is, that sucks, man, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:03:58 It's okay. I do want to get kudos, though, the, the, the, um, escalation point where a little bit of it, and you, we both received this, which is why I'm like. Right, right. Is the jump to the most aggressive or most critical response, like, oh, I guess just you know, have your respect to me or something. Like, whoa. Hey, there's always a chance.
Starting point is 00:04:23 And also, it's like something can come up. the thing i will say that the reason that it was particularly annoying was because i was looking forward to it and and so it's one of those where you're like i feel foolish for you know looking forward to something obviously silly thought but i will also say that this exact thing has happened to me probably a handful of times in the last year maybe year and a half and that was so much assured That's the thing that in it's it I'm noticing a trend. Maybe this is my like like I'm an economist identifying an economic bubble. I'm noticing a social ghosting bubble where I'm like, wow, I have actually planned a few like dates where the person agrees to it and then just never like responds again. With that the double down, the lock confirmed. Yeah, that's the thing. And I think it's like, I have been in the situation many a time where a date comes up and I am not feeling it because of whatever is going on in my day life brain chemicals or whatever.
Starting point is 00:05:41 And I will say, not feeling great, would love to rain check. Maybe I'll toss a date out. Maybe I don't even have the energy to do that. But I will communicate. And they're free to take that away and go like, well, I don't want to try that again. Yeah, if they want to say, if you wanted to, we would, then that's valid. I am in bed, quite literally. But other than that, been doing pretty good.
Starting point is 00:06:08 I think I'm a little overwhelmed simply by virtue of like not getting my best rest. And thus, everything feels more dire. Yes. Like when I'm not fully recharge. I'm like, oh, now the sky feels like it's falling. You're starting the day with fewer spell slots. Exactly. I'm doing a challenge run.
Starting point is 00:06:34 It's like the novelty's fun of it, but now I'm part way through the challenge run. I'm like, I'm a hundred hours of distance. Yeah, now I've got to do this very special grind. It is funny that I'm only running a party of Druids. And I can't even make the YouTube video about it unless I finish. Oh, respect to those guys, by the way. Yeah. People doing super elaborate speed runs, the hours that like, uh,
Starting point is 00:06:55 Tomato Ennis puts into a video To put out a three-hour video Explaining something really intricate And I'm like, wow, we're the same The people who- I'm a YouTuber too, I'm the same I mean like yeah shout out to like in the runescape space Shout out to Settled for all of his like insane
Starting point is 00:07:11 Massacistic runs But Low energy When you say rest do you mean I'm just like sleep literally or more so Yeah I think it's like I'm getting Maybe slightly below average rest but feeling more unrested than maybe average baseline.
Starting point is 00:07:33 You have been very healthily a social bastard recently. Trying. I think that there's some pieces. It's another one of the situations where I think back to like my therapist would be like five pillars, you know, and it'd be like, are you hydrating? Are you eating well? Are you socializing? Are you resting?
Starting point is 00:07:51 are you self-actualizing with um i think those are the five with your you know interests or work or what have you eating drinking uh socializing actualizing actualizing what with you um it was the first one yeah sleeping yeah yeah and so i'm like that before and so and it's like if i'm cranky if i'm sad if i'm whatever that's like a type of thing you i would like check in with and that's your rhetoric for like diagnostic because it's like if one of the your meters is low, then that should be the first, that should be the check engine life. Oh, you see the little red plum barb or whatever about the same and you're like, oh, piss. Right, I got to go to the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:08:32 The most common one is, you know, people would be like, I was so cranky and then I realized I hadn't eaten for five hours or something like that. And then you have a snack and then you like feel more like a person. I'm so hungry, but you're actually thirsty. Oh, right, yeah. And then that's another, speaking of, I'm going to drink a little of my Agua. Oh, my God. It's booze. How did him go.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Wow. Jose Cuevo Silver. What a chat. Oh, my God. There's a scorpion in it. So. Brap. Brap.
Starting point is 00:09:10 That's me burping. How about yourself? How you hang in? Yeah. Similar rhythm. I do want to say I get, not to be overly sensitive. but I do get a lot of like comfort and lift from seeing you do well and not in maybe like the ways of family would observe normally like this and it's like how's the career going or has a X or Y event you know like postable things yeah more so in like how frequently I've seen you push past like a low to go to something or to yeah yeah we're gonna eyes will be involved and I know like you've also been making a lot of progress on like physical
Starting point is 00:09:57 health stuff yeah I think I've been generally getting seeing that around my friends a lot lately and I think that might be honestly generally why I'm feeling better I'm still on the high from getting home and yeah being comfy one of the pillars I might have left out and I don't know which one might be in the same pillar is like exercise which is oh yeah one one one one this past week I haven't been as on it and I know that that's another you know life hack get active you'll feel better blood's pumping and all that hundreds of millions of years of evolution needed this always has right uh yeah that's I think uh maybe just coincidentally I was having a chat with somebody the other day and they were specifically lamenting like
Starting point is 00:10:46 they're in there getting into their like late 20s and they are not self-conscious bad age or anything, but they're just like, I know a lot of people that are having there, what am I doing with my life? And outside of the obvious pillars where that is like an actual tangible thing, like work or like where I'm living or my relationship, like a thing that what am I doing with it? Let me diagnose. Do I like it? Blah, blah, blah. They were talking kind of more broadly about just what, like cosmically, like right? Like, where is this going? So and so. And they were talking about how that's not actually something they're burdened by and they feel weird that they aren't.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Ah. And it got me, I have, I know we both have it a plenty and always, I think it's just kind of the way our brains are wide or whatever and everybody has it. I've kind of been ignoring it for a few years because I thought I was trapped a handful years ago, right? Yeah, I remember that. I can't go anywhere. I remember that. And there's almost like a, like, when things are, when there's, when the house is on fire, you're very present. Yeah. And so I'm just like, where's my life going? I don't have, I don't know. I know what my life is. I need to be here doing this thing. Like, like, you know, there's people that need me
Starting point is 00:12:08 a month. And then as soon as I left that environment, I'm kind of like, you know, it's R&R a little bit and I'm getting the deep breath for the last few years and now this I don't know this person mentioned it and I remembered how to have an extra central crisis it was like they refresh me and we're like that's right you every now and then I'm supposed to go like hey what what's the point of this where are I going what are we doing and like for whatever reason I don't know if this is the final answer to that or if this is it's certainly not like a policy prescription for everyone but spending a lot of time with the people I care about and seeing them do well something about seeing other it's inspiring but also just like kind of entertaining but that's also
Starting point is 00:13:01 the value of community right like because everything is not up to you and it's like you know if if one of us succeeds, everyone succeeds. And so there is that like shared. It's like sharing the load. Yeah. You know? And there's like a literally selfishly if I'm scared about some element of my life or health or something. And I'm surrounded by people who I know can and would support me and are in a position to in their life.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Yeah. Then it's like, okay, well, I'm going to sleep a little better at like because I don't need to. Right. Doesn't rummage. And like. I'm thinking, I got me thinking back to when, I think all the point I remember being the most depressed were the least community active times. Like it's like a one to one. It's one of those things.
Starting point is 00:13:52 It's like lonely. It's, and it's, I think one of the things that's shittiest about depression is the, and maybe this isn't just a depression thing. Maybe it's a depression plus ADHD thing, but there's a lot of like a lot of co-symptomatic things with those is that when you've got the. depression goggles on, you don't see the obvious stuff that you're not doing that would make you feel better. It's as if it's like, it's like, did you do the big high five in the morning that makes you feel good? And you're like, I've been forgetting that.
Starting point is 00:14:26 I knew it was something. You know, I should try? I should try remembering bad experiences I had in the past. Nah, that could help. You know, it's possible. Let me try that. Look, I haven't tested it. Oh, no, this is bad.
Starting point is 00:14:37 And I'm having a good. I missed the high five. I missed the high five. I miss the bus. I've got to walk. I can't walk. I don't have a car. It does.
Starting point is 00:14:44 It is like, that's almost like the exact experience of depression versus just being, feeling low where the depression is almost like, um, it's like it rewires your self-care process. You go like, well, what would help? Oh, what about not showering? No, no, that actually would make you feel worse. You're like, right. The lack of momentum on, like, because I think that, at least in my life, there are certain. like periods where there's momentum and things feel like everything is like handled and
Starting point is 00:15:16 almost as if like muscle memory and momentum are carrying you through and when that momentum slows to a stop it's almost like you have having to remember to walk or like like I'm or some sort of or throw a football or like a mechanical thing that maybe you've been doing your whole life to the point where it's become um automatic memory what's the is that the psychology term the memory that's uh you know how like when we feel have brain damage and stuff they can still remember that's right yeah like firefighters can still climb a lot of fast yeah yeah yeah so it's like that type of um that type of memory um it's not long term it has a different there's a different word but anyway um sometimes reminding yourself of those things and then doing them feels mechanical
Starting point is 00:16:00 like you're doing it for the first time like i'm playing quop and i'm having to like move every individual like tendon to get to get things get things going again and then you're looking at your legs and you're going like man I'm so stupid that I'm you're playing quop and in a game you cannot play
Starting point is 00:16:20 without flopping around and going like I'm so floppy right just a floppy idiot right has someone done a and we don't need to look this up but has someone done a tool assisted like quop run where it looks really natural like because if if you If you were, if you were like frame perfect with Kwop, can you just like not? He walks to work. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:18:10 Speaking of community, something I wanted to briefly touch on is that when I when I said how is it hanging earlier, I almost said how is your Michael Penis Jr. Oh, thank you so much for asking. Which is a football joke. That's right. Because we've been playing fantasy football. My fantasy football team, Michael Penis Senior, because I drafted a player with moderate stats called Michael Pennix Jr. the Atlanta Falcons quarterback dude you should have seen me right so we're like we went over we're at Jacob's house and I have I have something on the board about you Jacob it does just say Jacob which is like very should we talk about it now I just want to say I'm sat there doing the
Starting point is 00:18:49 fantasy football I'm like learning this stuff for the first time I've never followed football and never done fantasy before and I'm just sat there and I was literally on the app and I I think Eddie might have spotted it because he just like he was like wait what do you look at it because he just So when you got like, like, started smiling like the Joker when I found Michael Penix. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:09 I was like, yes. This is, oh, he's okay. Yeah. Did you see that he's good? The inevitable happened
Starting point is 00:19:16 that someone who was working the sort of like, um, I don't know what you call it. The, the title on the lower third and like a news thing. Someone typed in
Starting point is 00:19:31 Michael penis. Yeah. Look. Intrusive thought. Ellis Island accidentally put penics. It was supposed to be penis, I bet. The internet was like, it was inevitable. We knew this was going to happen.
Starting point is 00:19:41 One funny thing is that I saw a tweet that was like 20 years ago, the Atlanta Falcons had another dual threat black quarterback whose letter was one letter off from a penis. And it was Michael Vick. Oh, and first name Michael. Yeah, Michael, which is the funniest first name before a funny. last name. Oh, because it's the it's just all
Starting point is 00:20:06 of the syllables and Michael and it's not Mike. Nope. Michael is not, yeah, Mike penis. I don't know,
Starting point is 00:20:13 I think Mike penis or Mike Dick is pretty funny. Mike Dick's pretty good. Michael Bulls, Michael Bullsack. Bullsack's really good. Jimmy Bullocks. That was my Steve
Starting point is 00:20:24 name for like four years and then it was Jimmy Piss and then it was Bill Gates is getting divorced. I don't remember. And you were right. I was too. I nailed that one.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Jacob, oh, I was just going to say that you did a very interesting fantasy football strategy. I'm also not a NFL guy, but I'm trying to become one. I like grew up watching college, and so I have a lot of, like, extra information that the average person wouldn't have, but because I don't follow the NFL. You have that, like, limbic firefighter can climb the ladder. It's in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's some stuff because I go, like, I'll, I'm like a guy who woke up from a coma. from 2010 and i'm like oh the harbaugh brothers they're coaching the NFL the president is the guy from
Starting point is 00:21:11 moment on two matt like for example um the bills kicker matt prater the bills just won this amazing week one win over the ravens where uh in the fourth quarter they scored um they were down 15 with five four minutes left in the game and they they miraculously won and uh the kicker Matt Prater, I go he was Tim Tebow's kicker when Tim Tebow was the quarterback for the Denver Broncos for one season and that was right and then I found out later there's a whole S&L sketch about it where
Starting point is 00:21:47 Taryn it's um Jason Sidacus is Jesus slash Tim Tebow or no I think he's just Jesus oh that is so long ago it was yeah and then and then Taryn Killam is is Matt Prater I think which is very funny because he's 41 years old so all the players were like is he like a new coach or whatever the cobwebs blown off of your brain anyway that's the football moment
Starting point is 00:22:12 I think it's just that's maybe a good example of like it's fun to do not just stuff with your friends but it's fun to have little like moments to cling onto in when you're not feeling as hot like if you're feeling like oh man I don't even know if people like me or I don't know if I'm good environments and then you think back to like Well, that was like a nice dinner with friends.
Starting point is 00:22:34 That, me, is good. The thing is, it's like when you are, when you're younger, there are these types of experiences, community experiences, that you take for granted, especially if you're, if you go to like a college, like a, if you go to a four-year college where you're on campus and they're, like, sitting around with your friends watching TV. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:56 You know, like, or if you live with roommates, maybe that's, you want to watch TV and you already have one. Or it's like, because of this past Sunday. um me and eddie and uh uh some other people came over uh came over to jacob's place and we all just sat on the couch and watched football for like a lot of the day and it's like mostly nothing but the vibes are really good the vibes are solid and you're like this is so obvious because this is something i enjoyed doing in high school this is something i enjoyed doing in college it's something I took for granted and now in adulthood in the absence of a lot of like
Starting point is 00:23:34 communal third spaces places to be hang out with with community uh it's easy to silo yourself and forget that you like being around your friends and that I don't know maybe it's just like uh like American work mindset propaganda optimize everything stuff but the idea that to spend time with people you need to be at your best because that's something I know we both and most people we know will get kind of burdened by is like yeah but I'm like not doing super hard today I think I just bring the vibe down it's like right like a good set of friends actually the way you know that they're good friends is you would do it it lifts you up a little and also just like a type of activity a like a leisurely activity where half the time you're not even
Starting point is 00:24:24 paying attention to what's going on you could be in your own little world doing your thing but you know you're still there it's like I feel like we're aliens explaining friendship but that is it's just like to a version of ourselves that is like you said forgetting to do the high five that you do in the morning that makes you feel good yeah that's the uh this is not even a a joke there is a um my eighth grade history teacher dr morris dr jami morris incredible human being um he still sends me like birthday messages on facebook he's the sweetest man in the world and just was so influential to like so many students to the point where he was like he would have like little gatherings where former students would come back and you know Chad need to catch up with everybody he's a he's a sweetheart I don't know how he keeps up with all of us anyway I haven't heard from him but the he in his classroom had a little plaque right next to the the doorway as you're leaving that said do your best today and you're supposed to hit it when you left and I think about that sometimes that was like the high five the reminder reminds you to, like, have a good time.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Yeah, dude, that is, I, you know what I think might have become like a little bit of a bug in our brain is all of this stuff became office dependent to me. A lot of this activity yourself in the morning. And you go in and then you see people and a lot of the time, it's like, hey, we're all going to do a little five-minute stand-up. You can't wear sweatpants because you got to go into the office. Come on, buddy. Yeah. And then I'm like, I did. Oh, I forgot to go.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Mm-hmm. Who's bad at their job? now. But I was just talking to some of our other friends too, and this experience is shared amongst many of us where it's like, ah, friendship. Isn't that good? The one person, the thing I do feel a little bad about is that the number one piece of advice if asked by like, you know, somebody that's younger and like feeling lonely or feeling unmotivated or, and I don't mean motivated in a career isn't just motivated to enjoy. and, you know, flourish in whatever way they can and want to.
Starting point is 00:26:29 It is like establish a find people. And that is a completely worthless piece of advice. True. Action-wise. Yeah, the start. Yeah, how do you, how do you start the car? Because I can't. I'm in the car.
Starting point is 00:26:45 I have no key. How do I learn to hotwire it to make it go? And I don't know what car it is. And I don't know how to hotwire any car. Yeah. And you're like, oh, well, some of us had keys to our cars. My one was in motion. Yeah, some of the cars were in motion.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Some of us learned out a hot wire in an early age. I fell asleep and woke up in a, I don't remember ever really putting a lot. I mean, in my guess it was going, weirdly, actually was dropping out of school because then there were just kids who'd done the same and I ended up in a community with that. But then college was the thing. That period of our lives where we acclimatized to socializing and doing that kind of parallel play stuff wasn't interrupted by a global pandemic. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:23 So we got to build. I mean, you're still in touch. with a handful of people you grew up with. Yeah, yeah, and like, college service. And that was big, like, for that period of my life. Like, not only did I have a community by virtue of the people from college, like, built in, even when I moved to San Francisco, which is across the country from Atlanta, Georgia, where I went to school, the nature of the industry that we were all in brought so many of us out there.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Not to mention Russell, who, you know, is my best friend from. like sixth grade forward was legend uh we both went to different universities he went to Carnegie Mellon I went to tech Georgia Tech and then we went out to San Francisco we the first time we did it we were like roommates and then we moved out at separate times after and like had our own situations but we kind of mashed our friend groups together so it was like we were meeting new people and kind of having a relatively large like community with which to like springboard yeah we're meeting pre-screened people yeah exactly that already passed the sniff test from russell yeah so at least know they're likable yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:28:38 or at least rich those are the two factors for me um Jordan this is kind of your final American form getting into football oh sorry I thought you knew something about my this is your final episode yeah I'm ripping it up I think I made all the point yeah no i just mean like you're kind of you're you're already very american but you're finally like this is like getting watching football that's like what how more american can you smile to myself reading peanuts next next sunday i don't know if we'll do to jacobes but i'm also going to offer to to host literally just like come as you are do whatever and just there's going to be some games on and and now i'm and this is a thing where i like you know how i i've
Starting point is 00:29:33 talked about how i like to host because i can provide the thing or like if i'm teaching people to play magic i'm like okay great i here's the value i can provide i'm like learning the storylines of like the NFL so because so many people in our fantasy group haven't played fantasy before don't follow the NFL so now i can like provide extra context as someone who's all also not... Like, quest. Yeah, it's like, but that's like, but that's where, like, I'm like, I bring hyperfocus to the table and now I've accumulated a bunch of information.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Yeah, I was thinking actually about the, the, the, why the hosting's appealing to. I, you know, the, we mean, we were just talking about it, the classic, um, I've got something coming up this evening. What do I do beforehand? Like, and you're just kind of like milling around because you're trying not spend too much energy, but you also don't want to just like, like, like rot while you're waiting. I think hosting provide you with a two-hour warm-up period where you are aware that people are going to be coming over soon. You're tidying up casually.
Starting point is 00:30:37 You're getting some popping some drinks in the fridge or something, getting some snacks out. And it's like a, there is an expectation to be normal by 8.30. Right. Not to start getting normal or to get there while in the Uber to the party, but you need to be the first normal person. Hosting an activity or a watchy type thing is a lot easier than hosting a party in terms of the beginning. Because when you're hosting a party, you go, I sure hope the first person to arrive is someone I have a relationship with already. Yes. Or else it's going to be just us and I'm nervous about.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Bright lights. Bright lights. I'm nervous about navigating that. But it usually is always. That's an martial art form. It's a martial art that I don't intend to ever hone, but the one person sat in the center of the couch, all the overhead lights are still on
Starting point is 00:31:30 because you want people to be able to find the entrance. You're like, GMX is playing like really low volume in the background. You, speaking of being normal. Here we go. Us? Oh, you? You know, what isn't normal?
Starting point is 00:31:47 Those dang clankers. Whoa, slow down. Slow down. Whoa, Confederate flag. you're holding um uh confederacrocracy for confe i'm trying to think about a technologic in eyes con controller um it's that about that um it's the robocracy anyway so there's there's a trend right now on uh there's a dubious trend i this is uh this to segue from football uh our friend macaela uh like
Starting point is 00:32:22 It was like we have a group chat for this and was like I said clanker in the group chat as a bit like and then and then Michaela was like Jarvis we were watching clanker TikToks after you left and I was like I was like sorry and then I didn't want to be like look embarrassing in the group chat so I sidebarred to Michaela and I was like what you're talking about and then how's your all white football team that you're focused on yeah yeah they're the cowboys and DAC is black. and she doesn't have him and then we started talking during pre-production and I found out that there's a whole swath of these where the vibe is hey AI is becoming a thing
Starting point is 00:33:09 robots are becoming a thing hey Elon's actually gonna he's like gonna be selling like robots to the can just hang out in your kitchen these robots these AI they're losing the sheen the luster on their
Starting point is 00:33:22 on their metallic parts. Yes. And people are starting to refer to them derogatorily. Is a clanker. It is fun. And so what else? And it is from Star Wars. Just want to.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Right. Which is a series with no racism. Oh, first of all. Okay. There's one black guy in it. That's what they sound like. That's what that race sounds like. And that's what that species looks like.
Starting point is 00:33:47 So. George desperately. So it's like, you know who also. experience derogatory language. Let's watch some of these TikToks and think about where the comedy is coming from when it, when the joke is, hey, what if we were, what if we were racist or rope? Remember being racist? Yeah, let's, um, let's play another round of what's the joke.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Yeah, what's funny about it? It is true. Let's play a round of what's the joke. Uh, let's just start with, um, conducting a traffic stop in 2040. I have robophobia. You have it. It's contracted. Were you off to gearhead?
Starting point is 00:34:31 Were you off to gearhead? Were you off to Gearhead? Okay, cool. So Gearhead, you know, is a term. So I've watched a bunch of these, and I just want to say they love making up new slurs for robots. Right, right, right. Well, that's the most fun part. That is the most fun.
Starting point is 00:34:45 A lot of this is based on the fact that slurs are really fun. They're like, ooh, it's face really. Yeah, yeah. And it's like, finally, a place where I'm allowed to use slurs is long. Because you can invent a slur that is still racist. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. And we've got all the classics.
Starting point is 00:35:05 A hard consonant in the middle is a really strong one. An ER at the end. I mean, that never, you know, never hurts. Like, if you wanted to create a new, here, I'm going to create a new slur for black people. If a white guy in a southern accent calls a black man a ghetto walker. Yep. I think that's racist, actually. They, they, I mean, the science of old school race, like, like, nouns like that.
Starting point is 00:35:32 Shoutouts to white people, they really figured that one out. Yeah. There's a long list of things black people doer. Yeah. They're big into that. Music, uh, music haver. Music, uh, was it, uh, theater loud person is like a thing for a while. Like, isn't that like a cliche?
Starting point is 00:35:48 Like, this is loud at the movies. Oh, yeah. Black people are like, oh yeah, there's so many, yeah, the, uh, black people have crazy names. Yeah, that's a beggar. Hey, you, I caught you. You're the person in the comment that already wrote, hey, I don't care. It's not racism when it's against AI. Hey, that's not the point we're making.
Starting point is 00:36:10 You already left the comment. Don't edit it. So yeah. I caught you. So, yeah. So let's not get ahead of ourselves. We're going to do a good old fashion, uh, explain the joke. where we watch the joke and we analyze where the comedy is coming from.
Starting point is 00:36:25 You know anything downloaded I should know about? Any fire ready content? You sure about that? Do you what you need to go with that for? Clanker, you're going to watcher. I know what you're off to. No good rotten wireback. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Okay. All right. Let's think about this. So we got three. At least it's really long. So where, like, if a cop is suspicious of you is asking these questions and is referring to you with derogatory terms about your identity why where if this is comedy where is the comedy is it is it a this used to famously happen to white
Starting point is 00:37:08 people um i mean depending on what what flavor well it might be the the thing is is it is going on like this intuitively makes sense right like we know what it is right it's it's square peg in the square hole it's not like a complicated idea the issue is and the issue we're going to take with a lot of this stuff is that that sometimes requires a little bit of scratching before you see what's beneath the surface and i'll keep asking what's the joke yeah is it remember how this happens or is it i am re i'm reenacting i'm cosplaying a act of racism right of like racial profiling right and how funny that i'm kind of almost saying this slur but i'm making it robo well that's the thing it's evoking at least in in this case in the cases i've seen it's evoking it's evoking it's evoking
Starting point is 00:38:13 anti-black racism and I mean, and Wireback, I think that's a one-to-one to like Mexican. Yeah, Whiteback is three characters off of a Mexican slur. Yeah. Like a slur for Mexican people. Three, only three characters. It also ends in the last four.
Starting point is 00:38:29 Which is also where it's like, these guys get a little too excited. You know what I mean? It's like, hey, hey, I want them all. I'm not even going to evoke one type of route. I'm going to, oh, I'm going to feast. I'm going to do a melange. It's been banment of racism.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Now it's time for the feast. So, yeah, there's a template to, like, comedy like this where what if you took the stakes of something very serious and you replaced it with something silly? Mm-hmm. And the example I always think of is, like, we did this improv exercise where it's like act out a scene. I think it was like me and Brian, our friend Brian, we're acting out a scene where, like, one of us found out the other cheated in a relationship. And we're playing it completely straight, completely straight. very emotional scene, right? And then now do that same scene,
Starting point is 00:39:18 but replace it with you ate the last waffle in the refrigerator. With the same level of intensity. And so playing that straight, swapping out those things, there's a dissonance in the level of seriousness comedy is had in that space. And that is what's happening here,
Starting point is 00:39:37 but it's not a clean laugh. It's a dirty laugh. It still has the skeleton of the racism. It's all the DNA of the racism, and the reason it's funny. It's remarkably well done. It's like the reason it's funny is because of the racism. So maybe I'm too woke is what I'm saying. I do think that like, you know, if you go down to your local chuckle hut, you're going to see.
Starting point is 00:40:04 After I'm doing, I'm doing a type five at yuck yuck, so they're headed down to the chuggle hut. I'm one of the comedy assassins, Rogan talks about in Austin, Texas. Right. Then I'm driving six hours to the chuckle bucket. In Tucson, Arizona, I used to go to laughs with two Fs, L-A-F-F-P-O-P-F-P-S. Oh, that's funny. Right, it's a guy named laugh. Who is like this guy was built to create a comedy club?
Starting point is 00:40:28 But if you go down to any, you know, comedy club, you're going to see someone doing jokes where the laughs that they're getting are laughs that come from a nervousness that's like, Are we allowed to do this? Are you allowed to? A little chock-joking. But this, I think, is a little more insidious because it feels safe. Yes. But then you realize who's laughing and why.
Starting point is 00:40:52 Yeah. I know I don't need to pre-defend or whatever, but I almost feel like I want to, like, I'm trying to push my bone of Fides for I am not a offensive comedy is the problem guy. Right. In the slightest. But I. I think it says a lot that basically everyone that is coming from a, you know, a place of authority on this had the exact same reaction and I got the same text and sent the same text to a lot of different people and went like, hey, this is like, am I insane? Because this feels kind of like, no, a little bit. Well, and to reiterate what Jarvis is saying, it's like, this isn't funny.
Starting point is 00:41:41 to a certain group of people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if you are laughing at it, you got to ask yourself why. Well, because if you were a person who's experienced a traffic stop like this
Starting point is 00:41:53 and the words are just different, then it's not, I mean, it could be. But depending on the person, obviously we're not a monolith, but like it isn't fun. It's not fun to play in that space. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Another example I'll give that's disconnected from race. we were also in an improv class and this is an interesting it's just interesting to think about like I think a lot of people it obviously kills the funny of the joke to explain the joke
Starting point is 00:42:20 but that's what I'm about I'm about killing everything jokes wise With the comedy Austin killers Joe Robbins killers Sorry did you know how how quick those laughs were happening You were going 65 laughs per hour
Starting point is 00:42:37 Now I'm doing you got any you got any homophobia in there you got any I'm trying to figure out how to map that joke to the concept of writing a joke anyway there was an improv class we were in and this is funny because
Starting point is 00:42:53 it's the reason that these class examples are interesting to me is because it is people who are learning about comedy and the structure of comedy the grammar of it I believe that we were in the same class it was the Kaylee yeah you know what I'm talking about I before you even said
Starting point is 00:43:09 Before I haven't said it, before I said it, which example. What did you say? It wasn't me. I was actually sitting down hiding in my t-shirt. So a lot of this like mapping of character and behavior is a big part of like comedy. So he and Peele, it's like there are these characters. We know how these characters act and now they're deviating from that in a funny way. Someone was lying on the ground dead and or at least that's what it was now established that they were.
Starting point is 00:43:39 someone's a cop and they're analyzing the situation the exercise I think was your two cops you're both good at your job you're investigating a crime scene but you also know each other very well
Starting point is 00:43:56 so talk about stuff that's not the crime scene right because especially when you're learning and probably a lot of stuff gets focused too much on and we know each other from back in the you know one person makes the choice to make it a sex crime scene. No.
Starting point is 00:44:15 And then they go into, they begin going into a grotesque amount of detail about the extent to which this crime was done and, and, um, detail. And then the teacher. And they think the detail is funny. They think that it's funny. And so the, the, the teacher stops them,
Starting point is 00:44:36 thankfully, thankfully. and kind of makes it a teaching moment. It's a similar thing where it's like you have now mapped like something really goofy onto a real thing that happens to real people that is not going to be funny to people connected to this thing. Like you're going to lose the audience. You're going to lose the audience. And is mired in, there's something sinister about how easily that you, the, whoever this,
Starting point is 00:45:06 you know, Platonic U is in the example that you are able to juggle this so comfortably to the degree where it's like, do you think this is like not a big deal? Because like the other, it's not even a funny equivalent, but like an alternative version of that sketch, right, is it's the same escalation except it's like a ridiculous murder. Like it seems like they cut the chord to the grand piano here and it landed on them and then that trigger of mousetrap. And it's like, that is, that is a, uh, that is a, uh, that is. one where everyone shares the burden of like like in these things where it's like an everyone
Starting point is 00:45:43 experience it's like you can make jokes about these dark topics and you can even make jokes about these dark topics if you are maybe included in the and I'm not here to say that you can't by the way I'm not here to police who can make the joke I'm just saying it doesn't fucking land here well I know it's like that's the thing is I'm I have no interest in doing not having a conversation about, like, what can and can't be published? I couldn't tell us. No, no, no, no, no. The, what stuck out so vividly just about this trend in particular, because this is,
Starting point is 00:46:13 and we'll check some other one, this is the conceit. Like, this, it's the idea is, hey, remember, like lynching and what if it was a robot? There is something sinister to me, I think, about how comfortable so many people have been with this, not because. it, there's some, like, big moral damage that's happening because it got published, but because of what it says about the people publishing it, that, which includes people in our extended community, you know, for a little peak behind the curtain, we know people that have dabbled in this to an extent. In order to really engage with it, you do
Starting point is 00:46:56 kind of have to think racism is over. Well, there is a part of you that is going, well, it's like, not like this isn't going to bother people in that kind of way it's like this isn't a heightening of anything it's not a ridiculous heightening it's just keywords this is mad and the thing is these things are going viral so they're not losing the whole audience it's just it's connecting with a like-minded audience and that's kind of the our algorithm-based internet of today is like you can find your audience but then you look at the comments and it's kind of like you a lightning rod for maybe some of the worst uh the worst takes the amount of like civil rights leaders made robot puns Rosa sparks Rosa parts you know like things like that where it's like okay are are we there's a little bit
Starting point is 00:47:49 of are you laughing with us or are you laughing at us and that is very hard for someone who doesn't have a history of experiencing these like things it's hard to get the audience to believe that you're on, you know, their side. I'm just struggling to access, like, as a cis straight guy, right? I am not, I'm not, I don't think, under any kind of, like, as Jordan Adika, I don't think I'm under some kind of, like, moral obligation to say or not say X or Y, sure. But personally, there is something grim and demonic
Starting point is 00:48:33 about if I were to make the equivalent sketch like this about I'm an Uber driver and my passenger is like a robot, but trans is what I'm implying. Right, right. And I'm all of a sudden recreating like the threatening
Starting point is 00:48:51 experience that a lot of trans people have had but I'm calling it like a... And the joke is the threatening experience as a hypothetical fantasy circumstance when it is making light of a real not hypothetical tangible experience that people have it's mad lips it's the thing it's not like it'd be like that murder a sketch except it's like and then they got killed right it's like it's like when it's like when pete davidson was like making 9-11 jokes it hits very different
Starting point is 00:49:22 because his dad died in 9-11 yeah i'm not going to make the same type like if i'm to make a 9-11 joke which i haven't made a career out of but i would have to find an angle That is, like, that would be a tough, it would be a tough needle for me to thread. It says it pretty, like, you know, it's worn territory. Given that I have no personal connection to, other than being, you know, a kid during, during that, that happening. Also, I, it, like, also to your point, a lot of this feels like either A, this is long in the past, or B, this is movies. this is movies I'm I'm imitating movies I'm not imitating real life and it's like well no this actually happens in real life this especially this one because what
Starting point is 00:50:12 yeah let's take it some of the ones but like some of the other ones are at least like I do feel I do feel a little bit like we might be getting ahead of ourselves on this one particular one because we've seen more of them so let's watch some more oh good rotten wireback Why don't you go out the car for me? Can you imagine a hypothetical situation where, like, a cop would say a slur to someone that they didn't think was a person? Yeah, no. Oh, we lost it. We lost it.
Starting point is 00:50:48 Well, that's just like a, that's just kind of the wacky, that's just kind of my wacky mind. How do you even like, think of this stuff? Yeah. Like, bro, what? Us being most podcasts, by the way? Right. Like, wait. What if a baby was like, it'd like got to die?
Starting point is 00:51:04 Oh, that's crazy. That'd be like so twisted. Which, by the way, completely my, like, all I relied on for comedy in like 2010 is me going on a psychopedia was a website. And it was a ranky of like the most offensive jokes of the day in the week and the whatever. And it works because you, it's almost like a, like clapping your hands really close to someone and they flinch. And it's like, hey, got a reaction. And that is, and that is a thing that. when you're young enough, people go, you flinched.
Starting point is 00:51:34 That's, and they're like, fuck, I did. Yeah, I guess so. They did. They got me on that one. Were you programmed to be this suspicious? You guys just come out like that? Yeah, well, beep, beat, beat, boo. You know what that means?
Starting point is 00:51:46 You're going to jail. You don't have any feelings. I would say, as time went on, I felt like he was running a little low on parallels. Well, that's like, binary going to. I think he's relying a lot on his funny movements, like, shaking the, like chopping on his gum like he's he's kind of doing physical comedy because it's a template substance of his comedy is not there well it's also just has absolutely no escalation
Starting point is 00:52:15 the stakes start and end of exactly the same place it is so it just didn't need to be two minutes I just like I think what I'm struggling with is like I hope that the comparison at least lands a little more for some people who might not connect with it otherwise but I'm like it almost feels like the joke here is remember this absurd thing forgetting that actually that's just like literally it there's also sorry final thing I will throw out this is important because this happens in like fantasy media as well a lot of the time they're the big difference and this is not something that like has to be wrestled with within the comedy it's just like something that generally pisses me off with um I guess like allegory in uh even like blade runner
Starting point is 00:52:57 dabbles in a little bit of this where like well like, are the replicants different from us? Were you all kind of the same? Yeah. I'm like, well, the difference between like black people than the robot is the road, the metal. Yeah. It's the difference in dark elves and light elves is like one, like contend to a spider.
Starting point is 00:53:15 And so like they are literally different. Yeah. Like they literally are different. Yeah. As opposed to it's not a social construct whether or not your arm can turn into a beam cannon or something. Right. That's, unless. If you did that right now.
Starting point is 00:53:29 That would be so sick. It would be so. It would be so cool. Dude, we can make a sketch about it. Let's watch it. Let's watch another one. When your friend is freaking black. You should make that sketch.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Let's watch a couple more of these. Yeah. Do we watch the one you made? No, I haven't finished editing it yet. Oh, you were doing punch up. Yeah. I'm watching these to get an idea of how to make a good one. If the 2050s become like the 1950s.
Starting point is 00:53:59 Wait, this quite literally. is saying it, but instead. But instead, it's RoboFovir. Wait, it's so funny to be, like, so transparent. Because it's like, I did a find and replace. And I replaced the N-word with Clanker, and then I hit Send. You know, I can't say that? Dude, I'm so excited that there's something close to the N-word.
Starting point is 00:54:19 I can almost pretend to do the N-word now. I can treat myself. I actually don't think that the intent is racism, by the way. No, that's the weird part about it. I think that the thing, the reason this becomes a trend is that this is the thing where everyone goes like, oh, this is funny and I'm not, I'm not thinking about it too much. And then other people who, like the people like this creator who didn't think about it too much and then made this is finding a like-minded audience of people who aren't thinking about it too much. And then there's a whole other group of people who are like, hey, this is actually just like, I flinched when you did that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:54:57 Well, you know what the thing is, is like, we're talking. about like hey offensive comedy can be allowed whatever i don't think people making this think it is offensive comedy no they don't this isn't they think it's what's weird that's i think that's what's interesting to talk about is that there are people that we know uh there are people that we uh or at least there's people who i don't that i know enough to not think that they are ill meaning they simply have ticot brain yeah the poison is like i'm the trend is happening i need to i need to do the trend And it is a decent 15 second with the homies joke. Like, just sat at home with the friends and you go like, oh, like, imagine like the cop was racist, but it was a robot.
Starting point is 00:55:41 And it kind of works for like 10, 15 seconds. You go like, and then, I don't know, something will know that happened. Yeah. We won't publish that one. No way to go with that as opposed to like, no, let's just recreate a one-to-one experience. Cops chewing gum, tapping his old flashlight saying stuff. You know how like when they, like, kill a black guy? Also that like this has been done before and a lot of like media already because we've had
Starting point is 00:56:04 CGI for a long time and and robots but a lot of times it is just handles with more care because of the the illusion that is very easy to make but I think you're right the it is the thing that is unsettling is that it is not offensive to them because otherwise I just be like this is just kind of a mid-skatch I will confess that the first, like, maybe six seconds I saw of one of these, I go, ha ha, ha. And then I go, wait a minute. Two minutes, 11 seconds. Like, like, like at the beginning, I was like, oh, ha, ha, I see what you're, wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:56:41 Oh, it's still going. Yeah. And it's like, I'm not offended. I just find it interesting. It's more like a tap the friend on the shoulder kind of thing. You're like, hey, man. Oh, yeah. I don't know if you.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Oh, yeah. Like one time, you know, this is kind of like when a friend you. respect like makes like a internalize like don't realize what they're doing but they compare like oh this this company is then sexually assaulting us or something like that and you know what i mean and it's like okay well pump the brakes champ i get you don't get that that's weird like like yeah it's it's actually not like that because it isn't because it isn't that but i get the feeling and the shape of what you're trying to go for, but talk to a woman.
Starting point is 00:57:28 Yeah. Talk to a single woman is, is you think that's such an absurd idea that it works as like an illusion. Yeah. I do think like, you know, like you guys were saying,
Starting point is 00:57:40 this is not new if you've read an Isaac Asimov, but you know that like mapping robots onto like real world, like contemporary. Chappy. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Which, you know,
Starting point is 00:57:52 I think kind of coveted it. Yeah. Not a great movie about the topic's done. It's not even a great movie, but like the, like we've done level one of this. Yeah. Once you've done that in South Africa, the topics cover. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been explored quite a bit.
Starting point is 00:58:08 And I do think, and it's been explored in the 50s. Like, Isaac Asimov is a very old writer, like long, relax. Leave him alone. No need to be mean. Whoa. You're such a clan code. Dead. What happened?
Starting point is 00:58:21 What did you do? As if. Dot M-OV. and also they were taking it seriously they weren't making yuck yucks about it well because they weren't funny they didn't fucking get it dude the twisted mind but this is but maybe this guy's not trying to be funny maybe he's trying to be serious he's doing he's like this is actually this is a problem this is when i walked into my uh sixth grade and i don't know why we did this in sixth grade and six grade i ran animal farm uh the uh i walked into the classroom and allegory was written
Starting point is 00:58:54 on the whiteboard, maybe he's gonna, like, at the end, he's gonna go allegory, the animals. It's like World War II, actually. I do love the parentheses so much. But, remind us. But instead, because my audience is fucking stupid.
Starting point is 00:59:12 But it's the, but it says romophobia, and in the 50s, there was racism. Right. And by the way, it's like a find replaced. Also, do they think there's not going to be racism against black people? And does he think that his sweat pants are not going to be in the frame. Are they, um, regulation? In 25 feet, cops wear sweatpants.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Okay, let's, let's actually play it. God damn it. Hey, Clanker, didn't you read the sign? This is the humans only bathroom. I guess I gotta teach you a lesson now. Hold on. This guy should be a cartoon voice actor. Yeah, this guy, it sounds like he's doing fully ADR. He sounds cool. I'll give him that. Hey, clinker. Hey, pal. Hey, pal. Get those old metal feet out of my building, I don't know. Now look see here. Robots are humans too. Okay, buckethead. Then how many stop signs are in this photograph?
Starting point is 01:00:00 That's what I thought, tin skin. The year's 2050, but robots can solve CAPTCHAs now. Just like Black people. Robots are arguably better at CAPTCHAs than humans are today. I'm actually really bad at it. Yeah. Because sometimes there's a really tiny stoplight and I don't see it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:21 Or it'll be like, it'll be like find all the vehicles and they'll cut they'll like cut something off and you're like I think that's a part of a motorcycle and it's like gotcha clanker it's a bike's a vehicle yeah like okay there's so many questions that I have well look everyone it's Jamal 3,000 what's the matter Jamal 3,000 all out of henny old wait a minute wait a second oh my god this is like wait wait it's um bad it's it's every white person's first specific for a racist sketch. It's Jamal.
Starting point is 01:00:55 Oh, I didn't even. Yeah. Oh, my God. It's the default joke. It's the first joke. This is the white lib joke name equivalent of
Starting point is 01:01:07 my pronouns are attack helicopter. Wow. I didn't even, sorry. I'm still caught on they needed a name specific. And they went with like a stereo, they went with Tyrone.
Starting point is 01:01:21 Yeah. They hit up with the default. That's crazy, actually But I was like thinking about this Jonathan Colton has a song Called Todd the T-1000 And it's It's funny
Starting point is 01:01:34 I just remember that he made a joke about And it's literally Just about It's about the robots being authoritarian Which doesn't see color Oh, that's actually very nice I just don't This one's a little weird because it's
Starting point is 01:01:50 It's so It's pastiche. Yeah, it's all uninformed that I'm like, I'm not sure what the parallel, what's the capture, like in racism? I need him to put the parentheses back so that I remember into rogophobia. And what year is it? Okay, yeah, back up. This has become really funny to me in all the wrong ways. What's the matter, Jamal 3,000, all out of henny oil?
Starting point is 01:02:16 Oh, Henny. Oh, my God, that's just racism. That's just regular racism. That's what's wrong, Jamal, all out of. of Henny. So in 2050, robot are black people? And they have the same, they have the same interests in watermelon, grape, grape soda, Hennessey. WD. 20, but it's fried chickens in it or something? WD. 40, by the way. W.D. 20's my father. That's Michael Pete Extreme dude. Because now I'm like struggling to access the bit in an old new way. This one's crazy because they did just
Starting point is 01:02:53 do black people like they didn't even like i there i've seen ones where it's like a waitress and she's like i i was like oh i know the person who does who did this sketch and i don't think she's like a racist person and she probably got caught in the sauce but should but then got destroyed in the comments and it's like i think she knows now and took the video down uh but this one's crazy dude this guy's not even doing a one-to-one he's just doing a one he's this is awesome wait let's keep it going dude i'm sad i'm back here i'm with Oh, man, dude. Come on, Jamal 3.
Starting point is 01:03:25 Jamal 3,000. Like, Andre. Chavall 3,000. Is he going to do jokes about how he doesn't know his father? Oh, okay. Yeah, should we make a couple calls? Yeah, no father. Went out to get milk, we'll be the joke for that one.
Starting point is 01:03:42 Of course, of course, of course. He's good at basketball. Turn off that, like, beat, boop, hip-hop, you know, something like that. Oh, yeah, that'll be good. You already did the cop thing. The technob. music. Do you notice the cop was in prison? It was
Starting point is 01:03:56 why was the cop in prison? It was actually this is so many layers of social commentary. Oh, I just don't understand it. You're like small mind. Fellas, we don't hang out with wirebacks. A new friend. Oh, Billy, that's great. Oh.
Starting point is 01:04:13 Come on, Billy. That's enough playground for today. Besides, I don't want you playing with this boat muncher. Hey, Rush Bucket. That's like the darn man video. Uh, I've seen I've seen a Darwin video like that. Oh, and I'm just like, so you see, actually, if a robot works hard and makes a lot of money, then you should not be racist. That is literally the, that's literally the Darman video.
Starting point is 01:04:34 It turns out they were one of the good ones. All right. Hey, rest bucket. Hardware stores back at way. Come on, fellas. Let's teach this battery burner a lesson. You know, at a certain point, me leaning back in the coffee place by my house, looking at my name, notes up, having brainstormed 40 slurs, I think it's somebody like, that might be, hmm, I was able
Starting point is 01:05:00 to come up with a lot of this. The thing that's funny is to me is getting into so many costume changes to do the same joke, to do the same joke over and over again, with a different AI generated background ironically. Um, hey, blank, uh, I'm going to have to blank you for being like stereotype for black people. Jamal 3,000 is awesome It's not, it's so default If I had the balls
Starting point is 01:05:28 I'd change my Twitter display name to that Dude, we could be the new outcast I'll be, um, robot's big boss You'll be big bot, you'll be big bot You'll be big bot and I'll be Jamal 3,000 And now you think of one Uh, there's only two guys in that band Yeah, but no, you think of like a black person or something
Starting point is 01:05:44 No That can be fun I refuse to think of a black person Got a parenthesis Wait, there's a little parenthesis in front of Anastasia that says, I am a racist. Oh, look who it is, fellas. It's Jamar 3,000, sitting in the front of the bus.
Starting point is 01:05:59 Pause. That's literal. Whoa. He's doing back of the bus shit. We should have guessed that one. Damn. This is. He's doing the greatest hits.
Starting point is 01:06:08 Wait, this is like. I have a dream is probably going to be in here somewhere. I have a, I have a fucking AI hallucination. Yeah, I have a dream of electric sheet. I have a dream of electric sheet. treat. I have a stable diffusion generation. Yeah, there we go. If I didn't know any better, I think this guy knew that he was doing racism. It's sorry. I got to say, I never thought it'd be this on the nose. This is my favorite. Yeah, this is. He's fucking owning it, you know, like,
Starting point is 01:06:39 it's just now occurring to me that this guy probably thinks, no, but I'm saying it's bad. And I want to challenge him by saying where what do you say it's bad and what part do you think is bad because I can't tell it kind of feels like the joke is that we should never do it against robots
Starting point is 01:07:02 yeah there is no issue the issue there is also no punchline like it's just like the the joke is the the pantomime of the racism down to the Jamal and the Hennie The henny was crazy.
Starting point is 01:07:20 We haven't got grapes soda. We haven't got chicken swimming, maybe. Also, by the way, the lack of imagination to just go hiny oil. Hini oil. Hini oil. Hey, where are you going? You forgot your fried computer. Yeah, you forgot your watermelon oil.
Starting point is 01:07:37 Laptop. Yeah, your fried chicken book. Robot. Your fried chicken robot. Fried chicken's fried in. Chilliard. Fucking oil. Oh no.
Starting point is 01:07:54 You can sit here at Jamal 3,000. Just tell me how many traffic lights are in this photo. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Greatest hits. You got halfway. He's playing hits. He's already reminiscing about jokes past. These are like jazz standards.
Starting point is 01:08:10 Wait. We've got to get another heny of it. Wait a second. So, so not only did we. not come up with a new name for Jamal 3,000. Because again, that's the only black name. I mean, robot name. Then he writes half the sketch and goes,
Starting point is 01:08:26 well, I don't want to come off as racist. You're allowed to sit in the front of the bus, Jamal. Remember in the 1950s how Rosa Parks was actually allowed to sit at the front of the bus because she did like an SAT. Yeah, she could do an SAT question. She had to do a Rubik's cube at under 10 seconds. Yeah, handed her a brain teaser. Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 01:08:44 The idea that he's on a bus But the seats have monitors in the back of the chairs Like a fucking airplane That sounds awesome That's the future he wants Okay So you're the cheaper labor that the company hired, huh? Is he a pulper from the 1920?
Starting point is 01:09:02 This guy needs to work on Like his main quality of his voices Is projecting Yeah, it is decibels Wait, so what did he even say? You're the cheap labor the cheap labor okay oh okay so we're diversifying well not really because this could depending on the era this could apply it's the 1950s it's the 1950s frank 50s frank it's so you're the
Starting point is 01:09:28 cheaper labor that's the company hired huh the company is like you that are ruining all the good paying jobs around here now get lost you know it's good for you that's wait hold on that's racism from today yeah that's racism from like the 2025 right now you know I don't think in the 1950s the main issue that racist has was like economy oriented we can't have these black people working in our factories the damn cheap labor dude kind of famously cheap labor and i do love there's a robot right behind him yeah i don't know if he knows that look out i also do love that these men are so quick to violence like they're always cracking their knuckles and ready to strike parentheses i'm ready to attack oh you're overheating are you okay this okay hold on
Starting point is 01:10:11 He was like an inflated co-man. Someone called Lord Michaels. This guy is a character actor. He's got it all. He had to have his camera on like extra shutter speed to capture all the frames of motion. It's like when they shot the bass. They've composited a CG version of his own face. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:10:31 Oh, you're overheating, are you? With that big CPU fan, bullshit. Now come on, George, droid. Looks like it's jail time for you, Rusty Monkey. Okay, which... Whoa. He's... He's every...
Starting point is 01:10:56 Underground to the stratus phoed. And I said he didn't escalate his jokes. Um... Okay. It's crazy because everything we said about him is true. It's truer than we thought. Oh, fuck. Okay, I'm gonna say something that might be.
Starting point is 01:11:11 oh boy sorry I was crying laughing out of my nose is this still up I oh let me go last night that's crazy that one in particular
Starting point is 01:11:22 is interesting right because it's one of the rare times that they're alluding to what is literally very they're not even doing to a kind of thing there's a date on that there's like a stamp right yeah the one before I was like oh that's like what people say about immigrant labor today
Starting point is 01:11:37 I'm gonna say something maybe controversial a little bit I would say that that is a joke all the way through if we're just talking about shock jock humor, right? Because it's a kind of generic setup and then we genuinely were surprised by it and it did kind of like get a rise out of me. The reason for that is because it is like consciously that was written
Starting point is 01:12:10 and this guy's like that's gonna people are gonna be like shocked by that to be honest with you it's maybe I'm insane it's almost less sinister because of how transparent it is versus the like kind of cartoonish
Starting point is 01:12:24 like hey we're gonna put you in the fields these robots it's almost for to be at the end of this video it's so it's so hack like it's just like what else did black people do recently hack
Starting point is 01:12:39 because we've already been doing the same joke over and over and wait, how does it Oh, he already spliced the jokes together for rebates. And then this is like when he said When he said Hini Oil, this time he just said like Rust Monkey like Monkey's already a black people like
Starting point is 01:12:55 Hey, can be used derogatory later for Get out of here. Black robot Yeah. I mean it's kind of like he just said Rust N-word No, literally it's it well Hey hang on. No, she's good. I'm just saying he's There's a slur, and then he just tacked Rust on it.
Starting point is 01:13:11 Let's in the edit, making someone to say just said Rust N-word instead of, because you said the N-word. No. I think, okay, like, do you think he has time to hit Martin Luther bling? Oh, I hope so. He hasn't touched grapes soda chicken. And I respect him for it. I'll be able to swim. It's a robot.
Starting point is 01:13:30 It's a robot. So it's right there. This guy's bad at racism. Yeah. Mr. Dried? Let's sneak away, Jansen. Oh, and they walked like a Scooby-Doo guy. What, like he was doing a sneaky...
Starting point is 01:13:48 So I don't think Derek Chauvin snuck away. Derek Chauvin, yeah. I don't know what that's supposed to be. They did, no, he's just a big fan of Monty Python. Oh, it really... And he said, I'll do a silly walk. It literally feels like that is almost like an AI-generated sketch where it's like the tone antenna is like, okay,
Starting point is 01:14:08 TikTok sketch by guy in suburban house Now what I don't know what do we put in We can do a George Floyd joke okay Well it's like hat on a hat too Because like you've already said something extremely shocking Walking away with a silly walk is like It's insecure doesn't do anything for me It feels a little insecure like a little like
Starting point is 01:14:26 It's like when a comedian will do like And so and that's the moment I went to the store So that shit makes me cringe so bad It's like the fear that you won't get the laugh Yeah But he's going like and yeah so all done with the George Floyd sketch um I'd best be going so can we look at the comments of that because that now I'm like this is when I become uh Jane Goodall you know what
Starting point is 01:14:51 I mean almost the blacks where I'm just like I'm like what what are people yeah ain't even hiding the racism at this point divided by racism united by even more I don't know what that means oh yeah See, these... I have a dream, but it's a computer? I've seen this, this person, or this meme. What am I looking at? It's like, uh, it's like a Martin Luther King speech, but they've put a robot over it. Like, what is the robot?
Starting point is 01:15:18 It's got light bulb bites. Light bulb. It looks like it's from SpongeBob. It's not a robot that thrives in black and white. I'll be honest. Oh, is that robot SpongeBob? Yeah. Oh, it's a SpongeBob light, like style.
Starting point is 01:15:28 Can you, can you Google robots? I think this is literally... That's, yeah. I'm Martin Luther King. Right. This isn't about robots. anymore this isn't okay Robin hates bots did they think it wasn't about robots before they're like okay now you've gone too far he's reaching Johnson oh is that a George
Starting point is 01:15:49 that's a or that there's a police brutality joke I guess well oh and he he's reaching like for a weapon and he liked it nice but yeah people are really starting to connect with the Jamal 3,000 yeah okay so so so you know his fate his facial expression is um it's the it's the it's the it's It's for a stand-up special called Cancel B. Censored. Uh, okay, let's... I just want to get a vibe of this person outside of this context. So here's one called 1920s Being Gay Then Versus Now.
Starting point is 01:16:20 This has to be good. No parentheses. What's it about? Oh, yeah. Interesting. I am a mad who does not drink, smoke, or gamble. You won't climb steel beams a hundred stories up without any safety equipment at all? Well, then get your pansy ass off my job site. Blood on your hand. Mr. Oppenheimer, I am the one.
Starting point is 01:16:39 This guy is gay? This guy is gay. Is he gay or he's yelling at? I think it's like the gay person is the one that won't do the hard labor. Yeah, but in the first one, the gay person won't drink or smoke. Like, is that a thing? I don't know. That's straight, being straight edge is gay?
Starting point is 01:17:01 Or maybe it's just like gay as in like the term that that's gay. I don't, dude, I don't know. Let's see what the... Actually, so far, all this shit is so like, oh, you don't have a community of people that, like, with diverse experiences. George droid was a lot more straightforward. I'm scared about what he's going to say here
Starting point is 01:17:23 because he's like, he's like, Mr. Oppenheimer, you think you've got blood on your hands? I... Gay. Finish that sentence. What's he about to say? Oh, yeah. I am gay.
Starting point is 01:17:36 gay guy. Mr. Oppenheimer, I am the one who dropped the bombs. Get this cry, baby, out of here. What does that mean? Wait, wait, wait. Oh. Is he, is he saying that Oppenheimer gay? The man, the notorious womanizer.
Starting point is 01:17:54 What a, or is he, wait, is he supposed to be the Robert Downey Jr. character who's just like, you should be in trouble for killing billions. Oh, I thought he was, I don't know. I thought he was Harry Truman. Yeah. It was like Harry Truman dropped the bombs.
Starting point is 01:18:10 And Harry Truman notoriously hated Oppenheimer. And so that's what I thought. And having sex with women. You notoriously liked being gay? Interesting. Is that a thing? I love how we can't figure it out. I can't figure it out.
Starting point is 01:18:21 You're a communist. Why, George? Why didn't you just say you liked other men? My favorite band is the Beatles. Who are we to tell women what they... Okay. In the 60s, you know, who was always chasing after? after the Beatles screaming.
Starting point is 01:18:36 It was gay men. Gay men, yeah. Famously. Women, straight women, hate the Beatles. It's confusing because he's alternating between talking to a gay guy and being a gay guy. This honestly is a very good sketch
Starting point is 01:18:50 as guy who doesn't know what gay means. And like, oh, yeah, look at these. Guy who doesn't know what shot, reverse shot. The cinematography is. First film. And it's just, like, are these stereotypes? I don't. I'm genuinely having trouble following it, and I'm not trying to be obtuse.
Starting point is 01:19:09 Look how excited he was to get to the 50s, and he gets to do the voice again. Favorite band is the Beatles. Who are we to tell women what they can and can't do with their bodies? So yes, I am a male feminist. Okay, wait, so he definitely is, like, pro-life. Yeah, that's good. Good to sneak that in, by the way. Good to, like, it's actually good, um, Will's building.
Starting point is 01:19:31 He's telling us a lot about himself. classic male feminist male feminism fist he's doing oh yeah you know um feminism we always raise our fist yeah dude me personally i'm a male feminist right right also the most well yeah the black phantors they did wakonda forever yeah the 70s are you kidding the 70s yeah something like guido 70s outside a deli like yeah that's one thing for me i've passed on because i had AIDS oh no thank you for the, dude, I literally, the moment it happened, I'm like, okay, I get it. Yeah, I got it as well. To what I don't even know which part's worse.
Starting point is 01:20:10 Look, we can't have her kicking it too. We asked him to put the parentheses back. That's true. He put the parentheticals in his mouth. So this guy is, has just bad opinions and I think he's hilarious. I think he's epic, honestly. Joke. Because it's like, parentheses, we aren't.
Starting point is 01:20:28 This is a lie. So there are going back to the robophobia. Can we be, can we go back to the robophobia? I want to finish this out because he has, we've made it halfway through the video. No, I thought that was. We've traversed 60 years. We have 40 years to left to go.
Starting point is 01:20:46 Yeah, we have 40 years left. 30, no, 50, whatever. No, we have we have five more decades to go. Yeah. Because 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s. uh, 2020s. Yeah. Hey, bros,
Starting point is 01:21:02 have you seen my Spice Girl CD? We must stop the terror. I call upon all nations. Wait. He's like, so George Bush. No, no,
Starting point is 01:21:10 no, no, no. He's, again, he's alternating talking to gay people versus being gay. Okay,
Starting point is 01:21:16 so in the 90s, he was, um, he was doing the Jamal equivalent of a gay voice. He was doing the default joke. It's like, so,
Starting point is 01:21:25 because there is a, a mix of people who, um, much like the races. Some of them understand that they're doing racism and some of them are doing the trend and got caught up in it and felt bad and maybe took the video down.
Starting point is 01:21:41 He, like I'm thinking back to the mild amount of benefit of the data game on Jamal 3000 the first time it came through. This is actually a perfect video for anybody. You can stop there. This is honestly a perfect video. This is a perfect video for anybody who was like Okay, are you reading a little bit into this?
Starting point is 01:22:02 By saying, like, there's something sinister about that, the other video, it's a joke about robots. I'm like, look what's directly below the surface. Must stop the terror. I call upon all nations to do what they can to stop these terrorist killers. Thank you. Now, watch this drive. I remember.
Starting point is 01:22:19 Well, I have a... He is saying George Bush is a gay guy. And he's literally just doing a famous George Bush clip. No, dude. And it's just frozen. You know what? I don't understand. I know exactly what this is.
Starting point is 01:22:33 This is, you ever go to like an open mic or something? And the person up there is just doing set-ups for impressions that they haven't developed since like the mid-2000s. So it's like, that reminds me probably what Chevy Chase would say. Hey, what's up? I'm Jamie Chase. Yeah. Just set up for impressions. What if George W. Bush were gay?
Starting point is 01:22:53 It might sound a little like this. George Bush. what's the deal with hinge kind of reminds me of open hyber okay wait 2010 he's behind houses do you think it's going to be an Obama impression because he's done Bush he's gonna do it he's gonna go
Starting point is 01:23:09 I've got to bail out the banks Sasha Malia Michelle Neb sex will win I'm good remember well I have a beautiful home two wonderful kids that I adopted with my husband Mark and I don't know pretty peaceful pretty normal life
Starting point is 01:23:26 My name is Richard Sore. I've had five COVID boosters and I'm voting for Kamala Harris. He's doing Adam ruins everything. Adam Ruins comedy. My name is Richard Sore. I've had five COVID boosters and I'm voting for Kamala Harris to save democracy. Oh, the funny long breath. Only a gay guy would wear a mask. Yeah? Did you hear his room was pink?
Starting point is 01:23:51 Like a gay guy? Wait, sorry. So I'm, as you know, I'm an alt-right conservative. Right. I keep forgetting what my opinions are supposed to be. I am clearly the wrong person to analyze this because I do not understand the joke most of the time. It is like impossible to pass what he's saying because I don't know what his grievances are. Right.
Starting point is 01:24:10 Because I think his grievances, people being gay. Like that's the thing. So it's like imagine someone was. Like maybe if we hated gay men, we would think this is funny. Yeah, that's true. It's also just like lazy. Like, well, like, the, like, the AIDS thing is just like, it's disgusting, it's gross, it's homophobic. But it's also a hack.
Starting point is 01:24:32 It's also, like, so fucking, like, lazy, yeah. I just don't, it's so telling how, um, it's kind of funny, the moment you get to his actual lifetime, like, the times when he was alive, he has no commentary. Like, the moment it's not something he's seen other people make jokes about. He's just like, um, COVID. I guess, I don't know. So we, like one nice thing about social media is that when there is a trend, there will be a response to that trend. And I think that to wrap this up, instead of it being on this note, there are people of color making this, like, like kind of reclaiming this trend a bit.
Starting point is 01:25:21 And I haven't seen these, so I'm curious to see, like, you know, is it funny? Yeah, it's a, if a TikTok trend is trending, everyone's got to jump on it. Everyone's going to jump on it. You're going to get views. Jump on it. It's interesting to see this perspective. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So where are you from?
Starting point is 01:25:40 California? No, no, no, like, where are your parts manufactured? It did? That's like a joke. Well, so that's like, also, it comes back to the, it is different when you are. are like these are experiences that i've had yeah and it's someone who has shared those experiences and is now turning them on and like isn't a joke that the other people making these videos can make because that's like it's too small it's not broad enough but structurally it is
Starting point is 01:26:13 still the like find and replace it just doesn't find and replace into racism to It makes it I feel like it's different coming from the perspective of someone with lived experience. Exactly. It's just different when someone has lived experience and something
Starting point is 01:26:30 and it's also more nuanced. It's like why the Dave Chappelle trans jokes like I mean other than than them being transphobic like don't land. It's because like why are you suddenly like presenting as an authority on this? Are your natural wires that long?
Starting point is 01:26:45 Are those extension courts? No, I didn't even think. you're a robot when we first met. You're so human passing. Cyborg babies are so cute. Oh my God. See, this is, ah, it's like what you can actually commentate on when you have a lived experience is nuance. And it's this, by the way, is like, nuance is perfect. It's also, this is the day-to-day villain that you make the joke of. This is like the actual thing you're making a parody of as opposed to like, the cartoon, loony tunes level comedy about a serious thing because like, it's delivery somebody
Starting point is 01:27:20 going like, okay, black people, black people, what are they all about getting killed by the cops? Yeah, so it's about, it's a lived experience versus the headlines you see on Fox News. Like, what do they do? What's their thing? Well, there was Rosa Parks and then a bunch of nothing happened. And they like Hennessy. Yeah, it's very, it's very telling like what details they choose to include because it reveals the depth of their knowledge about a subject or a topic. Dude, watching a get out and being like, oh, he would vote for Obama a Thurton, that's kind of nice. Yeah, yeah. That's kind of him.
Starting point is 01:27:49 I hope that. He's a good guy, actually. It's like there's even stuff here about like black hair and like, uh, uh, you know, like the questions that you get, like both that I can relate to from the like, oh, can I touch your hair type thing. But then that I can't relate to that black women experience that like, I'm sure black women like being asked about a million questions about their hair, et cetera, et cetera. like can relate to this and that's the the relatability of it is an aspect of the the comedy because who can relate who can relate to the uh to the other thing right i guess if you're like hey me too i also did racism as a cop this actually is more my personal experience i mean i went to school with jamal 3,000 that's right and he loved henny oil dude being being black in the 2020s how lazy
Starting point is 01:28:42 Hini oil. It's just the word plus oil. Like, extension cords is a pun. It's a pun. And it works. And it's like, dude, this is what's so tiring about, I don't know why. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was telling everyone that you can't critique comedy. Like, why? No, it's like interesting to think about. I'm not laughing out loud yet. It's like, I'm not saying, like, I'm not faking a laughter because I don't laugh sometimes at my people I find funniest I read it no small I'm like you know what
Starting point is 01:29:17 this this isn't my cup of tea humor right this type of like mapping yeah yeah yeah tick talk humor listening to black people yeah not your style but that being said not not us we sit down and listen as we're interrupting it's just craft the like crafting of a joke you can tell This person has an understanding of the subject matter. That is where the nuance comes from. Like, like you said, extension cords, that's actually a funny pun. And it's like, even if it's not a, because the funny aspect of it is subjective, but it is a pun. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:00 Like, Hini oil is, like that is just saying Hennessy, Hennie, Hennie plus oil. Like they, it's like a template. It's like the Madlib template. I'm like, I'm going to come back to this with a funnier reference to me. Yeah, this is a first thought, best thought. Yeah, that'll do. Like, they should have a little bracket. It's like, punch up later.
Starting point is 01:30:19 Come up with a joke. Like, I feel, I wonder if, you know, a black guy was doing the same schick of like, I'm a cop in the future and I'm pulling over a robot driver. What difference would there be there? Well, I think that there would be, you'd be able to. pull from the nuance of the experience where it's like a lot of black people have had experiences with the cops or have had relatives who have had experience with the cops and when these like you know when black people are shot by the police that is like it hurts not just from a like
Starting point is 01:31:01 material like what is happening but also what it represents in the kind of generations of pain the echoes of which are felt in a community because of the history with the institution of the cops I mean I guess the place my brain went immediately when I literally the first thing I thought of when I saw this whole trend in general my brain went to like okay so wait
Starting point is 01:31:25 what is like an actual version that I would think it's like a least decent premise and I'm like okay well this shit's just fucking lazy what is an experience I specifically just like have often and very recently happens again, is following a robot around a stalking
Starting point is 01:31:44 and they're going to shovel it. That's like something that literally does happen and can be built on as opposed to like whatever it does just feel like black people, what are they all about? There's
Starting point is 01:31:59 the heresy and getting killed. All done. All done. And the two people that did civil rights. I remember those people. Also,
Starting point is 01:32:10 and something about a bus. I think the robot was. We're also not looking at the robot part of it. Like she's talking about like where your parts made and like cyborgs. Like, okay, yes, cyborgs are like half robot, half human, right? And also the way that people talk about biracial children. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:32:33 So then you look at the guys that we look previously it's almost like they're they're just forgetting a robot part of it yeah they're just doing the black part of it because the the the funny comes from the specifics and like if this is if we live in this world if this is true what else is true when you're able to like do that comedy math like in front of an audience and land like a joke that it makes sense in the universe, usually the audience laughing goes, oh, that is so true. Like, that is so true. That is what it would be.
Starting point is 01:33:14 That is how it would happen. It's like the little hat trick method, right? Where she, he was a strong premise, subverted it a little hit you with the punchline, and then there was a pun to play with while your brain was processing. And again, it's like, I'm not laughing out loud, but I can recognize this as comedy. Yeah. It's so fucking what you do. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:35 Did you hear Disney's coming out with? new live action movie they're trying to get a robot to play the main lead i don't know i just wish they would actually just make new robo movies you know i just don't know why we have to change original plot like there is stuff in this that is just you know swapping the um the stuff but like there is um there is a like you can be white and make deeper cut jokes and references and i it would you know it's like would take a deft comedian to do that but it has happened before you know it's like Neil Brennan was like a co-writer with Dave Chappelle on you know some of Dave Chappelle's like best work pre-transphobia um which you think is his best word this isn't this isn't about my
Starting point is 01:34:26 top one um Cyborg Poetry Slam oh my wait let's watch Hampton I actually because uh the hat that The pink hat that I wear is actually his merch. The cyborg gets on stage at a clanker open mic. See, that's already a complex premise. Yeah, right? Because it's a cyborg, and you have to know that a cyborg is a part human, part robot. And then they're on stage at a clanker open mic, so it's robots only. So now they're creating, like, that is creating conflict that'll probably be the, like,
Starting point is 01:34:59 potentially, like, the driving force in the comedy. I don't know. I don't remember. A clinker. My father of fleshman. Half human, half robot. My mind was lost in chat, GPT. Yeah, and like I said, there's also the performance of it, too,
Starting point is 01:35:18 which, like, adds to what makes it funny. Which isn't only redneck voice or, hey, pal. I just think it says so much that the thumbnail for 90% of these I've seen is Guy in spirit of Halloween cop outfit doing 50s voice with the parentheses of the explaining the joke heads up. Because it's like, what about people do? get killed by the police. All right, let's keep watching this.
Starting point is 01:35:39 Half robot, my mind was lost in chat, GPT. One day I'm looking at the next day is knee surgery. If someone could rewrite a code to rewrite my code to rewrite the code to get me out of this side for a Matrix, stop. I'm Sartee. Deluxe. Deluxe is really good. Deluxe is nice.
Starting point is 01:36:04 I think my disc skipped. Or maybe my tongue slipped. Because if I stood up and said that we could all be clankers, Bill Gates would take my soul, then I just might thank him. Wow. Praise Bill. You're not hearing him. You're not hearing him.
Starting point is 01:36:18 We're not praising Bill. Hey, get him out of here. He's an abomination. In my veins, it's wires. Instead of a chip, it's cerebellum. This ain't Enron, but we all got to pay an arm and elect to Elon. Mm. Yes.
Starting point is 01:36:36 Like varying, varying, because I'm committed to explaining the joke, it's like, it is funny because if it was the same sound every time you would expect the sound, so then you, you, gosh, what's the term? Subvert that, you kind of change that expectation. And they're like, I mean, even Dell hooks is like, it's not some, like, insanely esoteric reference or something. But the, it crack me up because it is like a throwaway. to the side, only really caught it like in between, I almost missed it. The joke being like hey, what about this?
Starting point is 01:37:14 As opposed to like robot bell hooks is here because it's a robot that was a black person. It's like you've got to you've got to meld like when you put something
Starting point is 01:37:30 it's like if you're painting you want to blend the colors. So it's like you can't just like put the the references on top of it, it has to, like, all kind of congeal together. Yeah, in one of those other sketches, you know, the, it's the 50s or whatever, 2050s, uh,
Starting point is 01:37:47 instead that sketch would be like, hi, I'm Del Hooks. Cut to him dressed as like an Italian mobster and saying like, you gotta get these, uh, robo boboes out of here, huh?
Starting point is 01:37:58 One of the top comments is logic if he had 10% robot. I'm just like trying to end on it. This is, this is funny and doesn't punch down to any community oh we haven't even talked about punching up versus punching yeah yeah yeah because it's like in that concept and comedy is basically just like where the power is right because if you're someone in power uh joking at the expense of someone who is not in power then you're punching down and the reverse is true if you're punching up so if i'm to make a joke um as like a white guy about like
Starting point is 01:38:34 black people in the 50s based on their position in society that would be punching down because like or it's like it's it's why they actually a better example like a more current example since we already mentioned Dave Chappelle is like making jokes to the extent of trans people uh I saw someone say this and I can't remember who but it's like okay you know now trans people are even worse off than they were before now what are you when did the joke stop yeah what's It's like, because you're already kicking this community while it's down. Which, and it's like, you can punch down and be very funny. You've just set yourself a higher target.
Starting point is 01:39:12 It's harder to be funny enough to do it. It is, but it doesn't surprise. It's bait with calling and he doesn't have like a bat. Yeah. Like, we see people watch Olympians or on Sunday night football, people going, ah, this quarterback there, I could do that. You know what I mean? People think that and they, that's what, and I guarantee they think that way about comedy.
Starting point is 01:39:34 Oh, my God. Dude, I'm the funniest guy at my office. Right, of course. And so that's how we get into the, we get into trouble. But anyway, the more I think about it, it really does bother me that people are just like, oh, wait, we're explaining the joke. I'm like, why not? Why are you talking about something? Why would you have thoughts about something?
Starting point is 01:39:51 Just sit back and watch the sketch called Chinese guy goes somewhere. Just enjoy it. I put the tape on my eyes and I worked really hard on the sketch. It's really long. There's no joke. Uh, so, um, speaking of no jokes, that's the end of the Sabboys podcast of where nothing funny happens. We, um, we're about to wind down over here and wind up, spin up like a hard disc, the, uh, uh, Patreon exclusive Sabways Nights where there are a lot of these and there is one made by some people that we know. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:29 So, and actually, we're just running out of time. But if you want to see us comment on one of these clanker videos by some people that we may have met before interacted with, maybe even know some of the writers, get a little peek behind the racist curtain over there. But also, there's no snitches, keep it private. But the main thing we'll be talking about over there is this, what were they, some French, some French friends? I think they're American. They're American. Oh, they're trying to go to France. So two Americans, two Americans being worldly.
Starting point is 01:41:07 They get trapped in Africa, which isn't that the worst thing in the world? Isn't that the craziest shit in the world? Yeah, they accidentally, instead of going to France, go to Africa, and they make it, they make content out of it, like going to Africa's the most insane shit anyone's ever done. Like they are the motion. Hey, hey, Mr. Airplane ticket, tender. Can I please have two tickets, Tunis? Please.
Starting point is 01:41:34 Tunisia, yes. Of course. Here you are, two tickets to Tunisia. Well, I'll keep looking up at the ceiling. I assume that the boarding pass says exactly what it... This is a real thing that happened on TikTok, and we're going to try to figure out if it's cap, if it's factor cap, actually. But you can find that on patreon.com slash sadboys using only your discretionary
Starting point is 01:41:57 entertainment spending of $5 a month or more if you're nasty you're sick and twisted like my wires but I'm gonna have to undo that with pliers and I'm black in the sketch in the sketch I'm black
Starting point is 01:42:14 yeah yeah man Obama Obama you just yell Obama Obama Obama Obama you're just yelling it May the power of Christ compel you Obama
