Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to Sad Boys Podcast. About... Anastasia? Feelings. Alright, and other... Things. Jacob. Also.
Starting point is 00:00:10 Woo! Welcome to Sad Boys Podcast with Anastasia. How the hell are you? Um, I am fine. Uh... We love you. I'm okay. But, I'm leaving tomorrow to go to Magic Con.
Starting point is 00:00:27 So if you're watching this on Friday. Nerd. I hit it with a cough. I do have to say it louder. You're not hiding it. You're saying it so loud. Fuck you. No, wait.
Starting point is 00:00:38 That's not even an insult. What did I do to you? A chew. I'll kill you, man. A chew? So go to Magic Con if you're watching this on Fry-yay, as we call it. It was we. TGIF, am I right, everyone?
Starting point is 00:00:55 He's crying. TGI Fridays is a stupid name. The restaurant. Are they just Fridays? Did they compromise? Is this like when kfc was like we're no longer kentucky fried chicken we're simply known as kfc chicken oh it is it's still tgi fridays but they just made the tgi so small you cannot see it
Starting point is 00:01:20 i don't like being told when to go somewhere Beer cheese and beer cheese Okay guys Guys relax Let's chill You know what's funny So I actually know the history of Fridays We'll just interject briefly We had a meeting you and me yesterday And we were talking about how like
Starting point is 00:01:40 The team of sad boys Is going to become part of the lore That's fun you know That's like a grand old time And I said sad boys is going to become part of the lore. That's fun. You know, that's like a grand old time. And I said, yes, I'm going to throw to you and then you'll give the most obscure anecdote,
Starting point is 00:01:52 like a trip you took to Wakanda or something. He's like, how? What do you mean? I have like a full, I remember when I was on Apollo 10. Yeah. But so Friday's was a, what's called a fern bar, which is something that was popular in the 70s as like a-
Starting point is 00:02:12 F-E-R-N? F-E-R-N because- TGIF? It was decorated with ferns and stuff. Oh. Oh. Like how Pizza Hut used to have a salad bar. Kind of, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:24 So a fern bar is- You can call it decorated with ferns and salad. They were popular in the 70s and 80s as like a place for singles to go and like meet. All right, I'm listening. All right, TGI. And there's a movie called Cocktail with Tom Cruise. Oh, yeah. He's throwing bottles.
Starting point is 00:02:42 And so that is kind of working off of this fern bar idea. And the fern bar was started by the first TGI Fridays, which was in New York. A fern bar. Yeah. So it's like, it's safe. There's food there. Safe.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Well, because the opposite would be a dive bar, where it's very dark. Fern bars were frequently talked of disparagingly as singles bars where individuals would go to hit on men or women for sexual hookups. Unlike a dive bar. This image. A chaste dive bar. This image was common in the 1980s, despite the fact that many people attended these bars after work typical drinks served included wine spritzers lemon drop martinis frozen daiquiris harvey wallbangers oh yeah harvey
Starting point is 00:03:33 wallbanger is okay no of course you know yeah it was there me and harvey put that together harvey wallbanger is a cocktail that was invented by an advertising company wait i just realized you could just always be lying i don't even know these things i pull up the wikipedia article and like it checks out it's an annotation by the way cannot see the screen i can't see this just knows like oh oh editors uh a a stars no but uh yeah the it there was a little drawing of a little surfer dude where it's like he drank so many of these he banged his head into the wall oh my god he looks like peter griffin wait that's a really bad drawing. Wow, it's so bad. Wait a second, he's teeth posing. He looks miserable. I don't want to drink this.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Wait a second, Harvey Wallbanger is the name. And I can be made. I can be created by God. And then at the bottom it says, six ounces of orange juice, one ounce vodka. Stir with ice. That's the drink? Isn't it? That's not very impressive.
Starting point is 00:04:48 I think it has one other thing in it. Yeah, it's cut off at the bottom here. Yeah, wait. Can we scroll up to what's in it? But this was, I can't remember which. It's a variant of a screwdriver. Okay, because I was going to say, it's got Galeano. So it was the advertiser worked for Galeano,
Starting point is 00:05:07 and Galeano was like, how do we get people to drink more Galeano? And it's like, well, let's make a hip cocktail. But doesn't that, I feel like that happens a lot, and it doesn't take off to the point where it's listed on the Wikipedia page. Though it does, it is the odd one out. I feel like syllables are getting in the way of the Harvey Wallbanger. Is the guy who created this Antone? Because it says Antone is also credited with the Freddy Fudpucker.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Oh, yeah. This man needs to be jailed. Freddy Fudpucker, that's the game where you're doing a security video and the fast bear. Yeah, the cocktail itself is credited to three-time world champion mixologist Donato Duke Antone. Pardon? How did he become a...
Starting point is 00:05:49 It's an orange juice and vodka, dude. What do you mean award-winning? Well, at the time... It has Galliano in it. At the time, it was all like mead and prison wine. So him coming along with orange juice, people were like, whoa. Oh, okay. It was invented in 1952.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Before booze. After a surfer frequenting anton's black watch bar on sunset strip keeping an eye out don't let them in oh apparently it could be a fabrication oh by anastasia pico wow it's like apparently up for debate like spirits writer robert simonson goes so far to say no sane person ever believed that story. This is a little spicy. But I kind of.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Who cares? Relax, man. I think like because advertisers or like marketing execs had such a big part in this. That's why they're like, oh, they were trying to create lore behind it that just didn't exist. That's fine. And they hired the world's first artist to draw the surfer. It's actually etched in stone on the side of the pyramids. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:51 It's like, we need a guy who's a surfer. Is he going to look like a surfer? No. No, no, no, no. He has no legs and giant feet. It is, but he's like hot, right? No. Can I just add that I don't drink?
Starting point is 00:07:04 Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Well well that's why you're smarter than me that's why you know things your brain hasn't atrophied from ipas by the way the top reference in this uh article says remember harvey wallbanger man who may drink a hit dies no they like gave up on that being a fucking headline you know because normally
Starting point is 00:07:28 they're like Justin Bieber stuns in new photos or whatever remember this guy died yeah he's like a dead dude
Starting point is 00:07:36 remember the arrow of time got him but also maybe say you know something dicer than that
Starting point is 00:07:44 like passes takes a nail the passing of the mixologist who created Harvey Weinstein Also, maybe say, you know, something dicer than that. Passes. Takes a nail. The passing of the mixologist who created Harvey Wallbanger. Remembering the Wallbanger. The death of huge liar and story maker up at Duke Antoine of Connecticut. Dude who made a drink, made the Wallbanger, bangs the wall for the last time because he died. He died a death and he ceased to exist
Starting point is 00:08:06 lose a drink man dies in disgrace why are we here you know what i mean i feel like it was my fault i don't even remember why uh because uh tj fridays i i simply said wait scroll up sorry i'm wait scroll down another early fern bar also thought to be the original birthplace of the lemon drop martini was Henry Africa's in San Francisco. There's a bar called Henry Africa. I don't want to look more into that. I bet it's horribly racist. Who by his own account took the opium den atmosphere out of the saloons.
Starting point is 00:08:45 When was this? In the 1800s? What are you talking about? Dude, these names are hilarious. Hobday closed the establishment in 1986 and opened up an Eddie Rickenbacker's. These are the names every single time if you request that ChatGPT generate a science fiction story or something. It's always like, Clumbelaw Wapdays was able to activate
Starting point is 00:09:07 his Lord Saber. It sounds like those old SNL bits with Bill Hader where it's like, New York's hottest nightclub is called Hobby Rockenbuckers. This guy's not very committed. He keeps closing and reopening. Hobday closed the establishment in 1986 and opened up Eddie Rickenbackers. Why?
Starting point is 00:09:24 What was wrong with the other ridiculous name? We had other stuff that we were talking about, like, or that we were going to talk about. Oh, the lemon drop cocktail. How are you doing, Jordan? Yeah, I've been better, been worse, et cetera. I feel like I have gotten to be a little more active house wise lately it's nice to focus on diy things but there's just still a few bit i don't know stuff that i need there's stuff i have to do related to the uk and my mom's estate and like which doesn't exist there wasn't anything there you
Starting point is 00:09:58 just have to call these fucking country like services and the councils and stuff would be like yes it was dead and it is so it what's crazy is that it's dull and that feels like a crazy feeling to have but i have to wait till like england opens till the saloon no opium dem feeling that's gone yeah till the saloon of england opens and they're just like another waiting time blah blah blah and i feel so guilty about not getting that done that it's tainting what is otherwise uh stuff i do want to be proud of the meeting that me and anastasia had yesterday and i'm saying it out loud so that i am committed to it is uh me jumping back into publishing videos on my channel and feel confident about it feel excited about it i'm building out like a recording space office thing in my,
Starting point is 00:10:46 in the spare room at my place. But I think once I get this, I've been putting it off for months, this stuff that I know is the most important thing to do, then things like fixing routine, making the apartment, and especially Al getting into into that i think is more satisfying i think it's all set well said and done when like you do something nice you clean the apartment or whatever but when there is nothing nothing floating above what's that old
Starting point is 00:11:17 saying it's like uh anastasia uh your carpet's turning brown your wallpaper's peeling and there's a horrible smell in the air what's the first thing you do? You get out of the house because it's on fire. It's like, there's this thing I know I need to do. And I'm like, ooh, it felt nice to do my laundry today, but the house is on fire. I could put the fire out. Yeah, I definitely feel that.
Starting point is 00:11:39 And I'm sure everyone does. It's, you know, scaled, even if it's not something particularly big. I mean, I remember it being homework, you know scaled even if it's not something particularly big it's like you know i mean i remember it being homework you know and weirdly that feels more insurmountable like i still get the occasional like uh oh i'm still at college i haven't finished oh dude i always think about how good i would be at school if i if i was doing it now you did good at school i know but i would be even better i did so bad at school i would be at school if i if i was doing it now you did good at school i know but i would be even better i did so bad at school i would be better now because of drugs you know yeah i was thinking about this recently how i would eat like a bowl of fruity pebbles for breakfast
Starting point is 00:12:19 milk and then with milk okay respect and then i would go to elementary school and i would so hard i'm like there's things that i know now just stupid little daily things like that i'm like i would have done so much better yeah and had like got great elementary school grades yeah like yeah just like feeling better throughout the yeah which is not like i mean when we talked about the lunchy stuff that's kind of where i was feeling where i'm like well there's less galleries but that's just yeah there's like a very lack of education on like food health and i don't think you should be telling children like the best one to get is the one with less food in it speaking of lunchly did you did
Starting point is 00:13:05 you hear the news it tastes better than ever yeah they it's got blue cheese yeah actually they went technically yeah they went um they went a little gourmet rosanna pancino who has talked to a lot of you know former workers of mr beast and uh including one of our friends, and has been fairly outspoken against Mr. Beast. So you might think that she would be biased when it comes to reviewing Lunchly, but it just so happened that when she did review Lunchly she opened up the um the package and has an unedited video of herself opening it because she feared that people would you know say something like that because i mean literally if like there's one person that it's going to happen to they're not going to believe the person who's oh you already don't like mr b you know you you did it to the
Starting point is 00:14:02 with radiation but by all accounts i've heard nothing but, you know, in terms of people who, like, I'm not the most familiar with Rosanna's work, but I've, like, seen her in videos over the years. And from what I've heard from people, that she's a very upstanding individual. We're one of the biggest fans in this respect that we just haven't seen much of it.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Oh, yeah. No, I just, like, in terms of, like, the corners of youtube crossing over it's the same team sports mindset as uh it can be at any scale like people usually talk about like culture war stuff or um political air quotes bias online fighting being like you just why would you want health care you're just wanting health care to virtue signal because they can't relate to empathy or like care or compassion. They can only relate to getting likes and fighting online.
Starting point is 00:14:50 And it feels like I imagine caring about a cultural war over lunchly, like to reply and be like, you faked that. Like why? I don't care about that brand i'm just reporting the truth all right so let's open these up oh man this packaging i like that it just says epic ingredients i do remember like that box feels so flimsy i think it's just the size of it and like because it's probably no different than like
Starting point is 00:15:26 the lunchable box but the dimensions of it of the lunchable box being smaller make it feel so much more um have more structural integrity and the weight of the prime feels risky like one of these um one of these boxes like it's can't hold a prime bottle half of its air yeah but because of the size of it it's got more you know uh it's got more structure to it doesn't it feel incompatible that there's a prime in there like it feels like uh it's like a limited edition comes with prime i'm like i don't understand why they didn't invent prime pouches like capri sun for this yeah yeah because the the lungeables have a capri sun yeah some of them have a Capri Sun, and it doesn't feel that way. That's so much waste.
Starting point is 00:16:08 It's just like the plastic bottle is heavy. It's so much for a kid to finish a meal with. Like, not just the quantity of it, but like, I finished my Lunchable box. I got my little bit of plastic. I'll stick it back in. I got my fucking prime bottle. Yeah, you just have it.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Where do I put that? Yeah, you got to put it in your, like, backpack. The thing is, I'm, like, wondering if it in your like backpack the um the thing is i'm like wondering if it's like they wanted to have because it's just more liquid than then because you normally just get like a capri sun is eight ounces yes tiny it's a cup like uh and this is like a 12 ounce prime at least i think yeah which is um big which is which it's not that it's a problem it's I'm just thinking about the actual packaging and why it feels so cheap
Starting point is 00:16:50 these are epic ingredients oh wow huge oh my goodness okay let's get this going maybe I should open them fully let's see here and this is the unedited video so Maybe I should open them fully. Let's see here.
Starting point is 00:17:09 And this is the unedited video, so obviously it's like that stuff that's been cut out. Thanks. Nice. The little hand takes it away. Big cartoon book. They must have their own Anastasia. Yeah. I feel like Anastasia's hand would take something away
Starting point is 00:17:23 in one of my videos. Who can reflect me is Anastasia. Yeah. I feel like Anastasia's hand would take something away in one of my videos. You can reflect that it is Anastasia. My foot definitely has appeared in a Jarvis Johnson gold video. For free?
Starting point is 00:17:31 Oh, I remember that. I mean, it was covered in a sock. This one does not say epic ingredients. Oh. That. That must be not epic.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Oh, and it comes with a Kit Kat. What? Oh. American Kit Kat. American it comes with a Kit Kat. What? American Kit Kat. American Kit Kat. American Kit Kat. Oh, jeez.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Oh, that one. Okay. And then, Denise, do we need to save these boxes? I don't want to mess them up. I was going to say, I can preserve them. American Kit Kat. Okay, great. Get away from me.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Dip it in ketchup. Oh, my gosh. That happened on the pizza. My mom would never let us get these i always saw people at school with them and i was like wow i wish i had one of those but my mom would never let us have one and now i'm like thank you mom uh i relate except for i had the um the off-brand ones uh where they sell it just as like what's inside the box with no drink and it's like um the i don't even remember the name of the brand but you know what i mean like yeah uh what the
Starting point is 00:18:34 fuck was i eating in school i have vague memories of uh doing oh i didn't eat them at school i was on free reduced lunch so i was eating square pizza but my my other school didn't have like a cafe it was so little because it's a little hick town they didn't have like a cafeteria and i'm trying oh i think uh i have vague memories of having a little sandwich and then i would do simpsons impersonations to my friends in order to and then they would pay me it like chips or something. Yeah. I do remember seeing just like. That's like right now. You make joke for food. I do make joke for food.
Starting point is 00:19:10 I think I remember like the icons of wealth to me were like someone's lunchbox being like having like refrigeration. Oh yeah. I was like, this is crazy. A thermos? Are you from space? Yeah. I was like, it's was like it's so it's so funny to think back now um i was branded uh digestive biscuits like the mcvitties one instead
Starting point is 00:19:32 of the tesco oh yeah yeah yeah because yeah which which i think has a price differential of like 10 pence i don't think it was worth i know it's's just it's just like the privilege of not having to think about it you know what I mean it's like why would you how could you justify extremely privileged by comparison and so it's like I think back to a lot of those things like if I buy myself a nice water bottle
Starting point is 00:19:58 look how far we've come and you have to account like neither of us grew up in California but if you had to account for California sales tax on doing that kind of stuff like now if anything that's the thing i've been conditioned to not even think about because it is well yeah that's the way it goes i remember when i interned uh out here for the first time and then i went back to georgia and i went into a chick-fil-a and for the summer i'd been in californ California and I looked at the prices at the Chick-fil-A and I was like, this is dirt cheap. I was like, in California, everything is so expensive.
Starting point is 00:20:31 You mean I can get the sandwich for $2.50 or $2.75 or something like that? It was crazy. And I know the prices have even changed since then, but it wasn't that long ago. And I just remember the prices being double at the same places. There's a sandwich place. We both know the place that's relatively near a card store we also both enjoy and sometimes if i'm feeling real dastardly i will uh double dip and i'll go grab my coffee and then look at the price and go like all right how many booster packs make this a flat fee? Mike, what do I do?
Starting point is 00:21:08 Do I open them fully? Like put the food on the plate? Yeah, I think we should. I mean. Okay. Do you want some health food? Yeah. Do you just have it done or is it just eating it out part of it?
Starting point is 00:21:19 I think I would do the first. Is that the not- These are molded. No way. No way. Oh my God. Like she's been struck by lightning. Yeah, these aren't supposed to be good until December. They should be frozen.
Starting point is 00:21:35 These are, okay, so these ones are supposed to be good until December, and we just got them from the store. Yeah, those are the ones that we had. It says used by December 8th, 2024. And they're. That's nuts. So it's cheese. Oh, it's just the cheese.
Starting point is 00:21:56 No, but. They don't have nuts in them? The. I do not need to run defensive lunchlyly but i do think this is like a manufacturing uh mistake with the packaging because the ones that we had weren't moldy obviously we wouldn't have eaten them but then also uh they were they came like we i was shipped them by the people and they had like an ice pack and then like that had melted because i didn't go to the p.o box for a few days and we still ate it and it was fine uh and so
Starting point is 00:22:31 that's just to say that there's an inconsistent or even like there's more care taken if you're sending them to pr people versus she bought them in the store. Yeah. And that's alarming. It's very bad, obviously. I don't know the mechanisms behind resolving that problem or whatever. I only say that, by the way, just because I don't want people to – there's not like we're not having an agenda against Mr. Beast because it's popular to pile on right now. Yeah, it's like I just don't.
Starting point is 00:23:08 You're just doing stuff I don't like. Yeah, that's the thing. It's just like this is just a, you know, obviously bad thing that is Christ, guys. Get it together. It's just that product is continuing to whiff. And, you know, we say that with no animal we've i mean i've had that chocolate all right you know i don't like the chocolate i'm sure the reaction from any parties involved in the production of lunchly probably reacted very calmly like normal
Starting point is 00:23:37 people weren't weird about it despite being very famous and successful you know what i mean oh also can i just say that like one of my friends was like treated like shit by mr beast and they like recently came forward with their their story uh from working there so it's like i take issue you know what i mean but i'm like i'm absolutely no i'm actually working to not be biased yes yeah the uh position of like funnily enough i guess like mr beast could almost be on the bingo board on and off because there's been periods where we've talked way back when we started this kind of era of the show and
Starting point is 00:24:11 the whole shooting space we talked about Jimmy on some oh it was when the curing eyesight stuff was coming out and it is I think the best way to describe it were people calling it demonic because it's in like the best way to describe it, what people call it demonic. Because it's in like the traditional biblical sense.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Right, right, right. This is, it's not an argument about right and wrong. It's just straight, eerie and uncanny and fucking weird. And it looks like parody of cynical YouTube. And like, this feels similar where it's like, we made a, if you wanted to parody YouTube and criticize it in a 30 Rock sketch or something, you would have it be, we made a Capri Sun for kids that's full of rat tails. Yeah, it's like kind of jumped the shark on itself. And today's date is October 16th.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Yeah, and today's date is October 16th. So these are supposed to be good for like another two months. And right when I was opening these, because I thought, let's not just put them on the plate. Let's like put all the food on the plate just to see what they look like. I'm opening this and this is molded. Like that's mold. It's aged. That's mold. You guys.. No way. That's mold.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Just saying you don't like blue cheese. You guys. Come on. Have some culture. Yeah, that is nasty. Have some cultures. Come on, man. Specifically, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Stop. You're just setting me up. So they've been saying for the advertising for Lunchly that it's real cheese. It's, you know know more natural or whatever but there's probably a reason why uh lunchables has so much preservatives and right i did see a viral there was like lunch leaves like main thing was that we use real cheese and now they're finding out why people don't this happens in the tech industry a lot where it's like people reinvent the wheel because they go it's dumb that the incumbent no and who cares like i'm not talking about uh lunchables as if it's like this paragon of
Starting point is 00:26:15 good food or whatever right but it's just um it's very common to confidently be like the way that it's currently done is bad and we're going to do it differently and then to reverse engineer yourself back into you know like uber uber is like cabs are bad and now the now that uber has made like ruined cab industries in a lot of markets now uber is like comparable if not worse you know because uh it's realizing why cabs are the way they are we're going typically that was always the plan uh what else we got oh well i saw something on twitter that i wanted to talk about briefly um can we pull up the costume contest i want to get everybody's opinion on this respect dude got third place for this costume. How's that fair? Click the first image.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Costume contest winners. So he got third. How? I don't even know what the middle one is. Or wait, number one. Number one is Wednesday, right? Yeah, sure. That's number two, I think.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Oh. I think number one's in the middle. Are they doing Olympic? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think they're doing Olympic style. Yeah, because he has no no it is first yeah so wednesday with a skull what is second what is second place is third place a regular man that was severed in half or is it a famous guy i haven't heard about getting cut in half? I thought that maybe they gave him third place because he was actually seven and a half. And they were like, well. He dresses as a golfer.
Starting point is 00:27:50 It's a pretty good costume. But, you know, you are split into two halves. That is pretty cool, I guess. So. Wednesday doesn't wear glasses, you stupid idiot. Okay, okay, okay. I don't. She shouldn't be allowed to go to school.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Understand where his body is. That is what I'm'm saying that's why it's such a good costume it might be two kids and even like the way his feet are pointed are like what no yeah it's like very like mind-bending and i feel like a lot of craftsmanship goes into this costume why do you reckon he begins i can't find it but there's there there are replies where people were drawing like the outline of like his body it's so funny it was like a stussy ass i i fell off my bookmarking game i used to bookmark everything i saw just in case i needed it what is that radio on the front of his pants what What's going on? It's a fishing pole. So was there a famous fisherman that got bitten half or something? What is this?
Starting point is 00:28:49 Wait, can we scroll the replies for a second? What if it's like, yeah, this is my, this is what happened to my uncle. Do you know about the goonch? Sorry.
Starting point is 00:28:56 What? You gotta start with this. The goonch is this massive catfish that does chomp people in half. Currently? Does? Yeah. Like, wait, when you say, do you mean, is it a specific catfish or breed of catfish? It's a breed of catfish.
Starting point is 00:29:12 I thought it was a guy. I think it's in India or something. Okay, these fucking blue checks. God. Oh, God, wait. Do you remember when you sent me a meme the other day on Twitter, and all of the replies, I was just just sending you screenshots devastatingly unfunny all of them were like this is exactly what would happen like why am i seeing why am i seeing he was supposed
Starting point is 00:29:36 to win this easily 400 000 impressions 1000 likes and then a reply that says for real 141 likes 400 000 impressions who the fuck were the first two even supposed to be has 6 000 likes the first one who's the third one i don't know who this guy is he has to be a fisherman right okay i wish i wish i had saved it but there was some funny um funny replies but you can't find any of the funny replies one of them just says it's not fair i like that they're always saying you should have been the winner that is the premise they pulled a reverse racism card 37 000 likes yeah yeah people are saying it's a reverse affirmative action or something yeah that's why there's a white girl in the number one you can't you get to... Oh wait, reverse.
Starting point is 00:30:27 Yeah, reverse racism is the weird term people use for... Because he's white and they're prejudiced against white people. The first place go. Yeah, they're not that prejudiced. They're a little bit prejudiced. These are the tier of people. So then actually this...
Starting point is 00:30:43 This is the next thing I wanted to look at. This app is genuinely the worst. Pre-2023 I got to scroll and found out how the hell little Timmy managed this, but instead all I'm seeing is a sea of blue checks from bots and farming accounts repeating the same thing in hopes to make it enough of a payout to buy a sandwich.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Or a lunch. Does this make sense? Do the replies explain how? No, so I have it. I have it. Oh, thank goodness. The weird part is that it vr facing away and that's i'm struggling but he's just twisted he's messed up he's kind of messed up his joker style you can tell you watch this family guy yes and south park stuff and i'm like my dad won't let me do that but i did see an episode of my cousin's house half an episode before he found out i was doing it and took away my copy of San Andreas. And I was like, this is, why, why are you,
Starting point is 00:31:27 why so serious? Right. Family guy. I was like dancing on some stairs the other day and I thought about how, As you do. As I do. You were inciting about.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Well, just because I'm, my brain is such a dark and twisted place. Well, this is affirmative action. They love like I'll do it. How to create this DIY optical illusion half-a-body costume. Grab an oversized shirt and pants.
Starting point is 00:31:51 You are going to cut behind the knees on the pants and behind the shirt on the back. Next, cut out your cardboard to fit the waist of the pants and hot glue it to the inside of the pants. Hot glue, of course. Grab some tissue and hot glue it to the cardboard then add some paint for details. Hot glue a rock to the corner of the t-shirt to weigh it down.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Then slip your body in the shirt through the cut in the back. Respect. Stuff the legs to make them fluffy then put your legs inside the holes in the pants now you're half a body so but go back but how though with the so so i i followed every step of this and then that that makes it makes sense to me and then and then it still doesn't make sense to me how he did it and then he he teleports to the side. Yeah, yeah. And then if you just cut even to this girl, like, go. So, like. Well, their legs are not in there.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Yeah, her legs are just behind the couch. Yeah, I don't like lying, I guess. But that other kid is stood in full frame. He's, like. Yeah, he's leaning. He's doing a Donald Trump lean, so to speak. Do you think in motion, it's like in video form, the kid falls over right after that?
Starting point is 00:33:09 They caught him in... Yeah, like he's falling. So like he's leaning over to the side. His shirt, maybe he's got a rock in it so that it's dangling. So it looks a little like... Yeah. And then... I'm going to feel so bad if he just got chopped in half i still
Starting point is 00:33:26 don't get it i i like i get i've had it explained to me i can see his legs going into the back of the pants still don't get why is he an angler i know i'm getting stuck on that but like he's also a golfer he's a golfer fisherman okay so i still don't have i still don't have the answers even though i have the answers i don't feel like I have the answers. You know what else I could imagine? Is that this is his left leg. And he's tucking his right leg behind. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:33:55 But he deserves first place in my book. Because of reverse racism kind of screwed him over, you know? That white woman. Yeah, the reverse racism meant that uh the the wednesday cosplay gets first i think that they thought that the black kid got first place and so then they immediately jumped to racism they before even reading they didn't even try i would love uh for people to tell us what the middle costume is maybe Maybe I should get this. This, the middle costume?
Starting point is 00:34:29 He's like, duh, he's dressed as his grandpa. You know what I mean? Like, I'm like, wait. Oh, maybe he's dressed as like the principal or something. Like it's a novelty one. Oh, it's like there's a teacher in the school or something. So at another elementary school recently, these kids voted to name their school after their lesbian janitor what who apparently you can vote to name your school really hard that's so cute when there's a vote wait so
Starting point is 00:34:54 sometimes what if the janitor had only been there for a year and she quit yeah that would i mean she'd been there for a really long time and that? And then this caption says that she does the work of five men, which is very... Sounds like a hero. Sounds like a story. With the strength of five dragons. Like Paul Revere or whatever. Can we watch the video?
Starting point is 00:35:16 That's such a little boy. Someone that you just know would be right. That makes you think of when you think of good. Throughout history, there have been many national figures who've been that bill also lots of famous missourians who would have been great choices to celebrate and inspire but in the end they went with claudine wilson who is that you asked you wouldn't believe oh relax i'm not gonna this. School custodian, Claudine Wilson. No, I don't believe it.
Starting point is 00:35:48 You can get her like a vacuum and she'll appreciate it because she really likes cleaning. This is like when kids are like, my mom loves cleaning. Yeah, she loves it. Can't get it out. Get her a vacuum, she'll say, thank you. This motherfucker doesn't know what jobs are. You get her a vacuum, she's like, I'm going to eat that. She is obsessed with cleaning.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Every time I see her, she's cleaning. Like, we're here doing school, and she's just, like, cleaning. It's crazy. She just loves it. One of the teachers is like, well, these kids love doing the alphabet. They're obsessed with school. Do you know what I mean? That's such a little boy. That's such a sixth
Starting point is 00:36:28 set kid. One of the direct-to-DVD Home Alone movies. And she just really dedicated herself to this school. So much so that over the past 30 years, she has taken on a busload of additional spots.
Starting point is 00:36:45 She's also whipping. Okay. From transportation coordination. Okay. She deserves it. She's ghost riding. Cool. She was also the bus driver.
Starting point is 00:36:52 What is going on? Dude, name the city after her. Sweetburg School. Janitor speaking. Can I help you? That one's called Sweetburg. And the next thing I know, I was leaving at 6 in the morning and getting home about 7 30 at night oh my goodness what's your motivation for doing okay okay that guy's like why wouldn't you just be a news anchor
Starting point is 00:37:15 what about investing in your stock portfolio crypto instead yeah i don't understand why you would i i was worried that she like she's taking the high road here um because she could have just been like i have bills to pay brian williams senator yeah maybe the school's not funded maybe that's why she has to take on like two or three yeah i'll push back against maybe that is always the oh look our teacher she she got all the class decorations out of her own budget that's so nice not these teachers like don't have i remember we could we didn't have a budget for staples at my school yeah they just nothing subsidized here right like ever like no and there's just like not not funding and so then people would like bring
Starting point is 00:38:02 in stuff from home and this was like this was long this so then people would like bring in stuff from home. And this was like, this was long. This was decades ago at this point. This is simultaneously heartwarming and. Horrible. Yeah. Just because like, I don't like the janitor should be, should not have to work a 13 and a half hour day. If they have merited having a building named after them they probably
Starting point is 00:38:26 merited more money hey instead of spending the money to put her name on this building give her that money give her the building sell of the school yeah if she's doing the work of five men pay her the work pay her the wage of five it's so odd i mean i get why every single teacher i know is staying in the profession because it's the craft they have and or it's like the craft they love or loved and it's kind of been yeah or they're not or they're not moving they're moving out of the profession because of how difficult it is to like earn a living wage my aunt has been a teacher for decades and she just quit because she was like my mental health. She got so little support from the school and the district that she was like
Starting point is 00:39:18 giving kids like so much help and so much of her like emotional um energy that she was like i can't do this anymore at some point i need to take care of myself yeah and it's like they lost a teacher with experience and it's like those movies where the teacher like notices something is going on at home and then they take a kid under their wing and it's and it's like okay but we need more resource like just like the cop shouldn't be called for like mental health yeah you know uh it should be a function yeah the the teacher who's already underpaid shouldn't have to take on additional jobs or the janitor shouldn't have to take on additional jobs right and it's like it's one of those things where we like in the same breath celebrate and uphold teachers as like the sort of foundation of our society because, you know, they're raising the next generation and teaching the next generation. And then just don't pay them a wage that earns that reverence.
Starting point is 00:40:18 And it's almost like we're thanking them for the thankless job of earning less money than they could do, taking on additional stress. Thankless job has been like rebranded as a complimentary term. Yeah. Thank you so much for making this sacrifice. It's your fault it's a sacrifice. It's your fault it's a sacrifice. You don't stop saying like, wow, they were brave enough to do a thankless job.
Starting point is 00:40:43 And then also people are like, um, I'm on TikTok. They're the unschooling people are like yeah i'm not gonna take my they don't even learn anything at school well okay that is like a self-fulfilling prophecy because of all the problems that we've talked about anyway this kid's wearing the shoes on the wrong we could go on but they're unschooled i mean i'm dumb as a brick and extremely underschooled, but that's just because I was, I think I had a resentment towards the system and the environment, mostly because of the compromises the teachers are making, the degree to which they were overworked, the quality of the like, not necessarily the education or the intelligence of the teachers, but the time they had with us and the resources they had to teach us. Maybe it's different in private school, I don't know but i i suspect probably not i went to public schools all through my schooling and um i had lots of really great teachers and uh and lots of like i wouldn't be where i am today if it weren't for those teachers because I didn't have a lot of like guidance when it came to like what to do with my studies and with my,
Starting point is 00:41:49 how to position myself for like college. That wasn't something that was like in the cards for me. Like I wasn't thinking about that. And how to present yourself too. And like how to present myself for that. And it was just like, I was lucky enough to like have like the thing that I got really lucky with other than having, you know, it was just like i was lucky enough to like have like the thing that i got really lucky with other
Starting point is 00:42:05 than having you know the teachers like that i did have was just like doing well on standardized tests as a young person and so then you know i got flagged as like you know gifted one of the gifted kids you know and uh and then and then uh which is a thing in America. It's like a whole terminology. Which is its own messed up thing. It's its own messed up thing. Which is, yeah, not intellectually mid. Yeah. Oh, dude, don't even get me started. Well, anyway, I'm started.
Starting point is 00:42:34 But that was all I brought to the table. And I had so many people kind of saying, oh, you should do this. You should take this class. You should apply for this program. And that kind of was able to put me in a position where I was able to kind of actually be in a position to go to a good college and get a good job and kind of like build myself up. And I, in my personal life, I've gotten a lot of credit for what I've done as an individual, but I can never see myself outside of the sort of guidance that I received from adults, many of whom were teachers that were like out. And this is no shade to like my family, but my family life was not super directed. And there was a lot of like tumult there. And so. And there's my family, but my family life was not super directed, and there was a lot of tumult there.
Starting point is 00:43:27 And there's other responsibilities. And there's other responsibilities. who owed me nothing at school or friends or parents or whatever, just people who just randomly would just like give me some advice or take me under their wing or do whatever. And like all of that stuff really compounded and led to much greater outcomes that I think I would have otherwise seen in my life. So I'm very, you know, supportive of you know, teachers of social safety nets and i mean like the though they might
Starting point is 00:44:10 not ever reach the like degree of uh they don't have as much time with the kids as a parent would at least like casually not even necessarily hours i mean you're at school more than you're at home in waking hours but uh like shout out to mr roseberry for example that's like the very first the idea of private school terrified me so i never even took the tablet you don't pay for it um with in the uk if it's not like a private private school like uh there's like a placement one that you just have to pass test for but it was all boys and i don't know the boys scared me all boys scared me i don't play rugby and then i mr roseberry in my regular public school he was the first man i can think of that i like understood how you can perform as what seems like a confident guy without being the rugby playing guy and without being the pint
Starting point is 00:45:07 with lunch kind of guy right he was just like a smart nice science uh study guy and i that was the only class i really liked when i was young and he was uh unprompted told my you know not doing well like it wasn't like there was some kind of merit that made him talk to my mom but he spoke to my mom and was like this is how jordan likes learning he really gets excited about something and uh if you present it in an enthusiastic way and it doesn't really matter what it is it's like some of the more mundane things that the other kids don't like if you present it to him in like a practical apply it as soon as possible way and that was like him and uh oh oh janice from my uh when i was getting my like
Starting point is 00:45:52 equivalent of a what is it if you don't finish school yeah when i was getting my gd equivalent um because i didn't get it in regular school uh janice was this uh i was getting terrible grades in her class but she encouraged me with the with the d i got from her she encouraged me to apply to college because why not at the time i was like not in a million years i have no interest in doing that my mom dropped out doesn't sound fun don't like regular school and now in retrospect just the idea that i could and there's no reason not to and she wrote me a like glowing recommendation i got into my college and i very thank i was too bad in college but actually no i guess i did all right because i got a decent grade i've never really thought about that i was bad bad at doing it. Me too. I did not go
Starting point is 00:46:46 to a class in my last year. I refused to. And they're like, we'll kick you out. I'm like, no you won't. I'm paying you money. Leave me alone. Shout out Janice. Shout out. Shout out Janice. Shout out Mr. Roseberry. Mr. Roseberry. What a British name. He sounds made up.
Starting point is 00:47:03 Sounds like who? Hello. It's me. Mr. Roseberry. I've've got a class we didn't sound like that the eligible bachelor is mr roseberry yeah big top hat the roseberry i'm here to do science which here in the past is like a car walking a long time or something running i'll give a shout out to mr vickers my technology teacher who was mean to me but uh encouraged me because i was in like a there was like a magnet program that was like technology focused so we like took all these like computer classes uh in like sixth and seventh grade and i like learned how to do i like learned like adobe flash and photoshop and dreamkeeper
Starting point is 00:47:43 and shit when i was in like seventh grade and uh shadows to new grounds for me doing this yeah mr vickers would drink a pint a pint he would drink a a pot of coffee every day and uh he would always call me travis which isn't my name but he knew what he was doing and was he just cooking you was he was just cooking me and then he would but he would also like give me basically I could just like fuck around on computers during his like period. So that was turned out to be a lifelong career fucking around on computers for me. Which is right there. He passed away a couple years ago. So shout out.
Starting point is 00:48:19 Big shout out. I want to give a shout out to Mrs. Abel. She was my seventh grade English teacher and she did this whole thing on poetry that got me writing poetry and i got so into writing poetry just in my free time and i recently found my um journal and the poetry is so bad i think, I think Anastasia just texted me. Let me read it real quick. Okay, go ahead. Roses are blue. Bad stuff. Roses are blue.
Starting point is 00:48:50 Roses are blue. It's just that three times. That is bad, actually. It's actually, you just don't get it because it's actually avant-garde poetry. Yeah, it's like a contrasting, it's a bit of an anti-poetry. Yeah, I'm like taking forms and structures and breaking you're breaking them down yeah so there's like you're breaking down the rose and now it's blue like a postscript that says the rose is not like outsider art or experimental or confrontational
Starting point is 00:49:15 anyway yeah uh have you guys heard about the controversial candle from bath and body works that's been that's been talked about no i think i'm i might not be currently following the google search results for a candle yeah i'm not on bath and body works talk right now i did i did we're old you know we don't keep up with this stuff yeah i did uncover that there is apparently a very large following of bath and body works fans um is this is this like a i because i think of bath and body works is very like millennial plus but is this a gen z following i think this is like sur la tabla i think it's kind of both like you know um that's really nice just people who are always like really following i'm
Starting point is 00:49:59 trying to like think of like what you could compare it to oh Oh, like the, like in my mind, I just thought of like the evolution of the Stanley Cup people. Oh, yes. It's like Stanley Cup people. Yeah. So I want to show you guys this candle and see if you guys can come up with
Starting point is 00:50:18 why people are upset about it. We should preface it by the fact that Jacob is a candle guy. It's called Snowed In. Uh-oh. It's the clan. They're here. They're back.
Starting point is 00:50:34 Oh, my God, dude. This is the season. This is like a Halloween scare. It's not meant to be a scary candle. It's not like Halloween. Oh, Christmas. It should be a Halloween candle. So I see that it's trying to be a fan i think it's trying to be a paper snowflake oh oh show the whole one oh then it failed so badly i thought
Starting point is 00:50:54 it was like a fan i feel like doesn't oh it just looks like a bunch of clan roads and it's called snowed in in the human brain like you know specifically engineered to always see face like that's the first thing you could interpret a cloud as a face or any image to i would look at this internally at bath and body works maybe and just go like i don't like it because it just looks like a bunch of faces even if i then didn't consider it looks like a bunch of clansmen i would just go like huh no weird weird look makes me uncomfortable also you that, I think it's called trypophobia, where you see a bunch of dots and it makes you think of- Tryptophobia? Tryptophobia?
Starting point is 00:51:29 Trypto? Trypto or trypto? Trypto. So it's like, it's what you're talking about because it's- I know, I hate it. The dots feel like eyes or whatever. I am made especially uncomfortable when it's asymmetrical, when it's a lot of holes in like different sizes and over a different kind of texture.
Starting point is 00:51:47 I like how Jacob was like, let's see if you can tell what the controversy is. Look out, Travis, it's a bunch of ghosts. I ain't afraid of no ghost. So yeah, people noticed that it looks looks you know um because they have eyes yes they've got to hire people who can see it even if you don't think of the clan it's still scary it looks like a bunch of ghouls yeah god maybe somebody designs this and then it comes out and they're like sorry the what right excuse me that's racist
Starting point is 00:52:27 anastasia you're familiar with the why don't they just use a real snowflake instead of a paper snowflake yeah i don't get it because snowflakes don't look like they don't have little eyes it's so weird well i guess one of them has to of all ever a snowflake because they're every single one is well this is maybe this is a metaphor for all you liberals excuse me being offended by everything like yeah it's actually snowflake oh being a snowflake yeah uh jacob you like this or you think it's bad uh okay behold this is bathroom body works most recent scandal. Meet the Clandle. And why is it called the Clandle, you ask? Because the design of this candle resembles a certain triple K letter group.
Starting point is 00:53:12 Or at least that's what social media is saying. Now from my research, I believe this is supposed to be a paper snowflake. Which looks like this, and this, and this. And as you can see, none of these really look like the K's. In fact, this one's my favorite because it looks the most like a snowflake and i think this would have been really cute on the candle itself but i did an experiment i photoshopped the eyes away and i think this could pass for a paper snowflake but i do find it interesting that nobody caught that it still looks bad like
Starting point is 00:53:40 it's a group of long pointy white heads because I just think it's, am I the only one who thinks it looks like a fan? Well, I was going to say purely from a design standpoint, why did they make it? So you're only seeing a portion. Cause you're only seeing half of it. I want to see more of that snowflake.
Starting point is 00:53:59 It's quite off putting just proportionally. That's a lot of. Yeah. Cause if, if they didn't cut it off at the clan each of the clansmen's torsos then they you would have like your your mind wouldn't have completed it as a body right yes and i feel like regardless you don't know what this is it could be a flower it could be a fan it could be why is it a paper what does paper have to do
Starting point is 00:54:27 with anything maybe the candle smells like paper i would hope it smells like snow don't put paper near the candle that's the worst place for it to be also another thing not to put near a candle ice no it's all inappropriate i just. First of all, did she open this by saying the latest controversy? What happened last time? Just a bunch of tiki torches coming out of a candle? There is another way. How did she open this? She said,
Starting point is 00:54:55 behold. Can you go to the beginning? Witness. Behold. The prophecy. Behold is great. This was as the prophecy what's the name of this creator Ashley Epico shout out to Ashley shout outs for doing journalism
Starting point is 00:55:12 so then Bath and Body Works responded by being like oh yeah that's not great you know they acknowledged it and so what they decided to do was to have the candles were already in stores. People were already buying them. I was poking Jarvis.
Starting point is 00:55:29 Yeah, I was like, what's going on? Hey, guess who? Candles were already in stores. People were already buying them. And so what they decided to do was have the employees of their stores take the candles and smash them to pieces. What? What? What?
Starting point is 00:55:46 You could have given me a thousand guesses. It's just a candle. Take off the label. Well, they had the employees rip the labels off and then smash the candles to pieces. You've already solved the problem. That seems like angry. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:56:01 They had them gently patch the hole in the jeans, and then they put them through a shredder. Which many people pointed out is so wasteful. You could just remove the labels and donate them, or you could relabel them. You could melt them back down. Exactly. And instead, they smashed all the containers
Starting point is 00:56:22 and threw the candles away. I'm so confused. Okay, so I understand this is a thing that products do for insurance right because they want to be able to make write it off as a loss or whatever and it's it's an unfortunate byproduct of capitalism and also just the way that our uh the the flow of money works or whatever so like the incentives are misplaced right like it shouldn't the incentive shouldn't be to destroy the product but my question is like how hard was it to send a sheet of stickers to every store and have them sticker over i bet they did some
Starting point is 00:57:00 calculations and that was more expensive and not cost efficient enough and so they were like well we'll just smash them so that's the thing because i'm thinking about like because the labor tax write-off smashing them as a tax write-off but it's also labor that's true and like and i was thinking okay potentially hazardous labor smashing glass but i'm also like okay yeah you don't send them back that's tough you know uh because then you have to or maybe it's seen i can imagine how it's hard to like send them all back and do a recall or something like that and so i'm like oh well relabeling them feels like oh that's labor and you can sell them you can sell them. You can sell them and your employees don't have to smash glass. And you're already
Starting point is 00:57:46 in optics trouble. This is weird. Or if you donate them, it's a different tax situation. It's not a loss. Also, just take the label off and leave it. It's not ideal,
Starting point is 00:57:58 but it's something. But if you relabel them, that also feels like people might want to buy that as a like how funny i got also this is it's the candle nothing about this candle is unique it's just a fucking three wick candle and it looks like any other candle when the label's not on it so the fact that they've been smashed up this feels like a little bit like um pr brain poisoning i mean i probably talked about it before but there is a a habit within marketing and partnerships and um like external facing
Starting point is 00:58:32 brand things where people are scared that they don't that everyone is afraid that anything could fall apart at any moment right like the world is random it gets confusing every marketing department for a large brand does not matter they They are officially useless. It is Bath and Bodyworks is post needing ads on TV. Doesn't matter anymore, but they have marketing departments and marketing departments feel like they're going crazy. So the social media for Bath and Bodyworks does not shift the needle on their income ever, but it has to do stuff. So when it sees this and a tiny tiny fraction of people would be disincentivized from buying it because of that like it the labor of smashing that glass and potentially getting a single lawsuit of somebody that's got does not offset these candles were
Starting point is 00:59:19 going to sell white people go to bath and body works most people don't look at it and think that it's like a very kind of naive understanding of social media they see the pushback of a few thousand tweets and they think like oh this is we have to do something one particularly interesting thing to me though is that that subreddit has 100 000 members top two percent baby 77 online bath and body works and then there's posts like product longevity has gone to shit as of late. That was one of the
Starting point is 00:59:49 previous controversies before whatever. You know what they could do? Just say it's a bunch of ghosts. That's true. Spooky for the
Starting point is 00:59:57 October season. Oh the KKK. What's scarier than the KKK? Run. So then also you know a few people were able
Starting point is 01:00:05 to purchase this candle before they took it off the shelf. I don't want it now. Unfortunately. And it's being sold for like $350. Oh, fuck off. To get a KKK candle.
Starting point is 01:00:15 To racist disposable income. KKK candle is very funny. KKK candle. KKK candle. Candle, candle. I worked in retail when I was in high school, and we did have to destroy a lot of product. And I was a little stinker, and I often would just take it home.
Starting point is 01:00:35 I mean, I think that that's ethically the right thing to do. I think you could probably. Not legal advice. Yeah, I'm not going to say who I worked for, just in case they come after blessings upon you my child i do hate okay i want to talk about this on a grander scale at some point but resale culture sometimes i get it for like collectibles but sometimes i just my eyes roll because people turn into like small business tyrants where they're like i know what i have if
Starting point is 01:01:03 you don't know what this candle is do yourself a favor and google search it very few in existence as it was pulled from the shelves immediately and destroyed 350 or best offer like like can we okay let's just do let's just do something that uh is going to give us a approximate of the true market value of this because this is facebook marketplace where everyone is unreasonable uh can you go to ebay sold items okay so wow for just the label someone people are paying so this is not unreasonable people are paying 50 for the label which is not brand new by the way it's much as brand new. That's as un-new as it could be. They took... They're selling the official candle at $300.
Starting point is 01:01:51 Do you think that's an employee that tore the label off? Kept it? Probably. Okay, there's a thing people do where they go, read description. Let's read the description on this. On the one that went for 70. Well, that's fine too.
Starting point is 01:02:02 Scroll down. Okay. Scroll down. Yep, down yep read description label is damaged be sure to look at pictures it's damaged okay let's see how the label is damaged oh it's covered in the kkk yeah what the hell let's go to the other oh my god oh my god so damaged 200 what is wrong with people they kind of fucked up the clan, though. This is absurd. Now, I am a person who owns a lot of collectible items, a lot of it's cardboard.
Starting point is 01:02:31 None of it's KKK. None of it, some of it, maybe. Who knows? There might be some old racist magic cards. There are. There are some good ones. I have a copy of Reparations in my binder. There's a lot that Wizards was like,
Starting point is 01:02:44 these are now banned because they're just considered, they don't exist anymore. I will be. So this is wild. This is wild and wacky. But I mean, if people are willing to pay for it, you know, what am I to say? I just think it's unwise.
Starting point is 01:02:57 Yep, it's a candle. When this exact candle is sold next year with a different label. It's sold next month with a different label you know sold next month with a different exactly with exactly the same external thing like i don't know i don't know guys i guess you can buy a 50 label to put on it the person who bought it for these are being faked because they're so viable and in demand right now most people doing this it is just you know hey hopefully they've got random disposable income
Starting point is 01:03:25 comfortable suburban house and they're like oh this would be fun yeah i mean if you're gonna if someone's gonna buy it for that like whatever you're like if if someone says that my um my empty cup of coffee is is worth 500 and someone's willing to pay for it like sure enjoy but if the empty cup of coffee had some third reich imagery on it it is a little odd that given the reason this one was banned people are like i have to i would love to have that like if the logo was twisted in a way that made it look like a swastika people like that would be great to have in my house i'll'll put this in my house. I would love to look at this and show people. Wow, I love your candle. I paid $600 for it.
Starting point is 01:04:08 That's right. It reminds me of my ancestors. All right. Well, that was interesting. I've got to go actually because I have an auction ending soon. Where are you going? Candle.
Starting point is 01:04:22 Oh, nice. I didn't know they kind of sold those. It's not rare, is it? Oh, yeah, they sell candles. sold those it's not oh yeah they sell candles no it's not rare gourmet rare it's just a few hundred dollars right one of a kind gourmet kind of candle i think yeah no that's actually just the label of a candle oh yeah the glass is smashed it's broken but nobody it's it's broken but it's brand new it's it's it's broken but it's only 700 so oh great um i actually have a steal I'm actually going to a costume contest, and I'm wearing a thing I saw on a candle, a ghost that I saw on this candle.
Starting point is 01:04:50 Oh, yeah, a little ghostly candle. Pretty scary. I bought a white mage outfit for medieval times. That's going to be really scary. Or no, for the Renaissance fair. And I put it on and i said i can't wear this i i actually this is a real thing you did if there's anyone that can yeah it's not me i'll tell you that i'll tell you what that's gonna make
Starting point is 01:05:20 you i wonder what that would feel like if you're're like, uh, so you're a white person. Oh, the dream. So the thing is like the, the model, it's like they Photoshop it to look like it fits or cause it was like a formless sheet. It's basically. Neck down. It's over the. Yeah, no, it had a hood. Unfortunately it did. One of the most famous hoods.
Starting point is 01:05:43 Yeah, it was and it's just like it it wasn't like the photos didn't look like it was a klansman but i certainly did that's very wise on the side of the marketing probably yeah so i bought it tried it on at home looked at myself in the mirror one time took it off threw it away you can't even donate that. No. You don't want someone else wearing it. Because they would give the wrong idea.
Starting point is 01:06:08 How about a Klansman getting home and being like, I made the new uniform. I'm so excited. And they're like, I look like a white mage. No one's going to laugh at me. There was like, the only thing that differentiated it was like a belt. That's not enough.
Starting point is 01:06:22 And it was one of those like costume belts where it like is like made out of napkins like barely you know it like doesn't really work it sways in the wind yeah it just wasn't it so nothing to de-emphasize the uh clannishness of it yeah so anyway my auction's ending soon i am gonna get the candle and it's not look guys it's totally above board it's totally fine it's got ghosts on it it's it's a collectible i'm investing investing in racism i didn't say what candle it was okay what what conversation are they having when a friend comes over i love your clandle honey look what i bought um clandle is so fun to say.
