All right, everyone. Welcome back to the Ben and Emile show. We're here. We're queer. Get used to it. Okay. Let us start off with the comment of the week. God, I don't know how everybody learns those same hand gestures. Those like TikTok girly mode. Anyway. There's a little orientation when you download the the app. Yeah, how to talk. Okay, so comment of the week on YouTube comes from Stormin Nordman, 9596, who says Emil's voice definitely sounds like it is deeper. Makes him

that much more breedable. I don't like it when you call this breedable. I don't care. I don't care about anything. Also, did my voice go back to normal? Yeah, I don't know what happened. I can't help but feel a bit like what's her name? Phoebe and Friends when she gets sick and everyone's like, damn, I'm going to give you a record contract

because your voice is so good. Yeah, that's what everybody was thinking. Everybody was thinking, boy, this is just like Phoebe from that show 20 years ago. Sound off in the comments. They're not eligible for comments of the week, but sound off if you were thinking, damn, this is just like Phoebe from Friends.

Also from True Baldwin on the Ben and Emile show.com said, hmm, I wonder how Toilet Boy will communicate that Donald Trump is rich. It's very funny because as you did say. Oh, by the way, there's going to be a fun little, just a fun little thing on the Ben and Emile show.com that they're implementing, that I ask them to implement.

So keep an eye out for that. And it's going to be really confusing for everybody. You're going to be like, what the hell is going to be? It's going to be really confusing. We're doing a whole new system. We're changing the name of the show. We're migrating to a new website. You have to pay in crypto.

You have to pay in crypto or cash. Also, we're going to have to pay in crypto or cash. Also, we're going to have to say we're just. joking because there's going to be at least three people being like, the show sucks. I don't know why they changed to an all-cash system. I don't even know how to get envelopes and now I've got to send cash in every month. There used to be something called CODs. Do you remember that?

Call of Duty, baby. Who's with me? Phase clan. It was called CODs. And it used to be on infomercials. Infomercials. infomercials, where they would say, like, no checks or CODs. And I remember asking my mom, like, once, it means cash on demand.

That's what I say. So I guess there was a, that's how I like my cash. I guess there was a system where if you ordered something, you wouldn't pay until they delivered it, and then you would hand them cash, I think. It seems like something we can just leave to the audience to ponder. Okay, this is not Cash on demand system Oh boy Cash on delivery

Yeah cash on delivery Oh cool Yeah it was when you would get stuff Wow really really cool Yeah really cool stuff What an insane time There was an entire industry around You would have a commercial on TV

And you'd say send money And we'll send it to you And I remember my dad bought VHS tapes Or some bait And it came with VHS tapes Your dad was baiting? He likes to fish.

All right. And I remember we would sit there and watch the tape with him. And this guy was explaining how to use the lure because it was special. You know, you cast it, and you let it sink, and then you pull it up, and the guy would go, I let it die, I let it die. And then he pulls it down. And for weeks, we were going, I let it die, I let it die. I saw a video of a big fish getting its mouth blown out with water.

Like they had a hose and they were just sticking it in his mouth to empty the mouth. this sucker had so much shit in there fish crabs shrimp nice sucking up everything like a veritable little vacuum cleaner of a fish must have been one of them vacuum fish anyway we got a we got a jam packed episode with you we're going to be talking about really weird case of mike lynch who's this british tech guy who went missing after his yacht sank and we started out thinking that this was funny, but it's not that funny. No, it's still kind of funny. It's kind of funny, but, uh, and then, uh, the, the story about Disney being evil,

maybe, but then upon closer inspection, maybe they're not being so evil. You decide. And then, of course, also give us a break, right? It's election. No, don't give us a break. Don't. Okay, don't give us a break. But we're, we got to be talking about a little bit about Donald Trump.

No, don't give us a break. Don't give us a break then. And what to do your social security... Coming up tonight, your social security number probably got hacked. What to do next. That's all on this episode. Okay, hit the intro. I forgot to do it.

I'm working downtown with Benin'Neum. Tell me what's going on. Tell me what's going on. So listen on up to Benin'in' me. Tell me what's going on Tell me what's gone on But I wanted to lead off With a little bit of market stuff

Because there's some craziness going on And by the way You get yourself that Moomoo app There's a heck of a sign-up bonus If you want to keep up with all this craziness There's only one way to do it. You want to keep up with all this craziness There's only one way to do it, folks.

It's Moomoo. If you do a check the link in the description you're going to get some free stocks, period, okay? Just go, go do that. So have you heard of, okay, it's making its way into the mainstream so much so that I've been getting texts about it and people talking about it at your birthday. But ASTS, have you heard of this? People were talking about ASTS at my birthday.

Do you know what it is? Yeah. It's this company that I... That's for ass-sucking? Titty-sucking. And so we were definitely talking about that at my birthday. It's, what is the name of the company again? It is called AST Space Mobile,

and they are a publicly traded satellite designer and manufacturer based in Midland, Texas. And it is one of the hot, hot, hot stocks right now. And it's pissing me right off because I knew about this stock long time ago. So you're a bit of an ASTS hipster. I am a bit of an ASTS hipster. one of the OGs, but I am stupid in the sense that I didn't buy it because their whole thing

is, oh, we're going to do, we're going to do cell phone coverage but from space. So I thought, oh, that's a penny stock story, if I've ever heard one. No, it's going to be huge. We're going to revolutionize yada, yada, blah, blah, blah. So what did I do? I dismissed it as nothing more than another pie in the sky. Okay, so you weren't really a, you knew about it, but you were just wrong. Yeah, I was wrong. Yeah, I dismissed it because I thought, you made it sound like I was here. Look at what the stock was doing. You made it sound like I was here early. I knew about ASTS. I was there early and then I knew about it. Yeah, but you were just dead wrong. Three dollars a share, three dollars a share. Drops down two 50s share, two dollars a share. Yeah, looks like you could have gotten a real discounted

price. And then all of a sudden it goes from two bucks a share all the way to a recent high of just about $40 a share because they got, as it turns out, deals with Verizon and AT&T and I can't remember the other one, but... Mint Mobile. I think the way that the technology works is it's meant to fill the gaps in coverage when you are out of range of traditional cell phone towers. So like theoretically, you'd never lose signal. Kind of like how the SOS thing works on Apple.

It doesn't work. When I'm in SOS, what the fuck do I do? I can only call the cops? That's a good question. I don't know. What do you mean? Every time it goes an SOS, my phone says you're using. that's true it's bricked up i couldn't tell you but that's what someone explained it to me as and

yeah it's uh it's it's gone so crazy and i just want to put a little bit of caution out there in the water if you haven't bought into this don't chase it please they're sure there might be a few more points to squeeze out of this but in my experience usually when you've got to run like this when it's gone up 10x and there's a big story behind it and the story is starting to pan out, well, you run out of a, you run out a narrative at a certain point. So I believe they're launching their first satellites this Friday. Tomorrow, that's going to be big. Get in now. Get in before the satellites go. Tomorrow for you guys. Don't listen to him. After those satellites launch, what is there? I was reading, it's going to

take a few years for. No, people are going to realize, hey, S-O-S-S-S-S-S-S-sucks, but A-S-S-S-sucking-tit-sucking? Is that what it was? Yep. S sucking titty sucking? Now that's a stock. I would say ape fat bags. Take your kids college fun. If you got student loans, put them in.

If you got credit cards, max them out. Ape fat bags. Ape fat bags is what we're saying. Wait, are you going to, if you're talking about the market, are you going to talk about, didn't they just hit like the longest win streak? No, but it's, I think it's up nine, or today might have broken the street. streak I could have sworn the way this is yeah today it broke the streak now's longest win streaks of 24 as August turnaround continues so yeah why'd you say no because I thought you were going to say

of all time or something well you just didn't let me finish oh well well you went no well okay well okay but isn't that I mean you're not uh you're not intrigued by that at all by that streak I mean we just it was maybe like two weeks ago that uh that I was saying I think we're probably going to go down more that you literally said you know i've looked to things in the past and i i thought i found some optimism in the dark ages that had nothing to do with the stock market wasn't it because we were talking about that everybody was just being all doom and glue no i know that's what i'm saying it's crazy how one day yeah of investors getting spooked yeah led to like new york times writers having an article being like when will you get to experience hope and joy again yeah

and Elon Musk tweeting this feels a lot like 1929 and then immediate just bowl whip right back to all time highs and you saying remember the dark ages lasted hundreds of years

I was saying that as a message of hope all right that even though it feels bad it's not going to be forever it was one day that's what's so crazy it was it was one fucking day it wasn't due to the stock market necessarily it was all that doom and gloom

that I was seeing about everything about it was fully from the stock market oh well i guess okay wow i think the lesson is the inverse ben yeah the inverse bin um it was but that whole thing was because the you know the japan dip and then the uh correction and then all of a sudden a day later it's all back to normal we're notching uh it's because of options man we're we're notching winning streaks yeah right back to all time highs um we're right there we're a hundred points away and my prediction is a it'll just go sideways and then back to all-time highs and then side it's just going to keep going up that's just the way it goes um but yeah uh as for ass sucking titty sucking the companies i think

they're way out in front of their skis and i think that when you've got a trade this crowded on the long side and especially like i've been seen on reddit people boasting about i turned 10,000 into a million dollars and i'm 19 it's like okay that's this isn't going to end well It never does.

Yeah. It's not like there's not going to be stories. There's ways to make money. People are making money. So I've been pulling out my hair. A bunch of you guys are fucking getting your dick what i own some rocket lab this is what's perplexing to me about and and this just sums up the stock market i i have been in situations where i'm just trying to capture a moment just trying to make a trade where there's a story stock let's say it's uh oh geez i don't even know um whatever there's a story just say one stock i can't think of a good example name any stock okay let's

coca cola no um electric vehicle charging infrastructure great okay this this stock's running on uh electricity probably please keep it up this stock there's a hair on the screen i just need there we go got it uh uh oh this stock is running because it just secured a hundred million dollar contract and it's gone up like 500% my ass is thinking okay cool all right so let me look for some other ones that show similar promise and I buy into it and then it does fucking nothing and people are like well yeah because that one doesn't have any uh they've got no revenues they've got no nothing they've got just like a story and I'm like oh shit okay yeah that makes sense but then in a situation like this I buy the one that has the revenues and that's the one that doesn't go because

Because the other one is the one with the story. That one had a story, though. Which was nice. People like the story. Rocket Lab I bought months ago. They're a Long Beach company. Long Beach company. Are they doing the same thing?

No, they are doing rockets, not satellites. Maybe they are doing satellites. I don't know. Hey, you can't have satellites without rockets. They got like $400 million in annual revenues. And they're trading at like a third or a quarter of the valuation of as sucking titty sucking. It's just a...

Yeah, but it's just a... Yeah, but I feel like that's so common. Like, the stock market is irrational. Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy. Did you ever have Crazy Gideon? Did you have Crazy Gideon? Dylan, do you remember Crazy Gidding?

Oh, we had this local guy. His name was Crazy Gideon. And he sold. Wait, so you said, did you have this guy? And then you said, we had this local guy. I grew up across the country, about 3,000 miles away. And he said, did you have the same local guys? Well, okay.

All right, listen, just relax, okay? I'm going to play for you a Crazy Gideon commercial real fast. Hey, did you have this New Jersey thing we had? Okay, that's a bad, that's a bad one. Okay, here we go. 1998, Crazy Gideon. Okay, that's a commercial for something else. It's the pre-roll.

We simply love it. Don't worry, we're going to get... Here we go. We may be crazy, but we're not too bad at Crazy Gideon. I suck them deep and sell them cheap. You don't buy for me. report losing money call me before

have a little several oh I love the high pitch in the background I want to sell the master back

I love you wow if you don't buy for me you're crazy crazy really good stupid

at crazy Giddhins really nice yeah we love a local commercial

maybe I'll play the one for Cal Worthington Ford yeah maybe if you're lucky All right, let's get right into it. Let's shift gears.

Will you shift gears for me? Man, this boy cannot drive stick. So there's this guy named Mike Lynch. He was a British tech. Sorry, Dylan, what did you say while I was playing that? I couldn't. Don't worry about it. He was doing the, like, his thing.

British tech entrepreneur and his yacht done sank off the Sicily coast. I mean, for a long time, this guy was considered kind of the British Bill Gates. It was British Bill Gates. My name is Bill Gates. The Mark Lynch is what I mean. And he had an interesting start. So this guy was real smart. He studied physics and math and biochemistry at Cambridge University.

He did his doctoral thesis on some shit. And apparently it's one of the most red pieces of research at the Cambridge University Library. And yeah, he was often called the British Bill Gates. And he had a company called Autonomy, which he sold to HP. For a nice chunk of change. $11 billion. $11 billion in 2011. And this company had software

that analyzed data and used Bayesian inference. Bayesian? Bayesian inference? Basically, it takes the uncertainty of huge swaths of data and turns them into probability or some shit. And they thought it was going to be part of everything.

Yeah. Packard was like, we're no longer just a hardware company. We're a fucking software company. We're going to do software. This is going to be huge for us. But autonomy took off in part due to the dot-com boom, and only a year after getting acquired by HP, HP took a $8.8 billion write-down on the acquisition, saying that it had discovered serious accounting improprieties.

Yeah, they thought they were, they thought they got, they got duped for paying $11 billion. You know, Mike was cooking the books a little bit, making it look like it was worth more than it was. I was wrongly convicted. I was wrongly accused of cooking my books. It's all bullocks. And so the HP, there was so much shame and alleged just corporate malfeasance around it that the HP CEO who oversaw the acquisition resigned a year later. And it was regarded as one of the worst deals in Silicon Valley history.

Yeah, ever since the deal took place, there's been a, there's been an ongoing legal battle, just an entire saga. Yeah. So Mike's been dealing with defending his reputation in and out of court. And the company's former finance director, so this is a pretty big red flag. Their former finance director, Sushovan Hussein, was sentenced to five years in prison in the United States after being convicted in 2018 of fraud in relation to that deal. Which in America, that just means you're doing good at business.

That just means you're doing good, man. You did a good job. Sure, you got to do five years. You got cod, but you still do a good thing. In 2022, Mike Lynch lost a civil fraud case brought by HP in the UK that said he had exerted control over that guy Hussein and that there's no way he wouldn't have known about the accounting fraud, which tracks. I mean, you're the CEO and founder of the company. There's no way you're not going to know every last little...

How are you supposed to know that? And just a quick side note, he apparently... Mike Lynch apparently really, I mean, all British guys do, but he loved James. James Bond. Oh, yeah. He totally loved James Bond. All their conference rooms. I mean, you said it, not me.

We love the people of the UK, right? We did a lot of show. They got way more than that. Name one cool British guy outside of that. You can't. They only got James Bond. No, no, no, no, give me a second. Idriselba.

Mr. Bean. Mr. Bean. He's not cool. He's not cool. He's so cool. What about Jepetto? Jepto. Not cool.

Jepetto. Or is he Italian? Idris Elpa is cool. Is Geppetto Italian? He does it all was not cool. Have you seen his DJ sets? No. I'm going to DJ now.

He does like EDN sets and like, yeah, he rocks in like affliction teas and stuff. All right. There was also that show. There is a great British show and we talked about it. Oh, great British bake-off. No, but good guess. You said great British show. I can't remember the name of it.

Oh, good. Maybe we should do 10 minutes of Ben Googling it. Oh, shit. It was about the virus that goes... Jesus Christ. It's about a virus. It literally doesn't matter. But we also love Mike Lynch.

So he loved James Bond so much so that he named all the... You know, in businesses, if you've ever worked at the company, they got... If you've ever worked at a company. If it's a fun company, they make all their conference rooms have quirky names. And this one, all of them were named after Bond villains. Dr. No room and whatnot. At BuzzFeed, they were named. named after like viral animals.

Viral, what's, oh, like the, uh, the honey badger. Yeah, or like, um, scrumples, the cat, whatever the, you know. Marnie the dog. Marnie, Marnie the dog, yeah. But we really love a little bit of an autistic man. He liked building model railways and he liked breeding coy carp. It can be a hell yeah for me to this guy. Quay carp and railways?

Yeah, and model railways. Yeah, that guy's going to do some tech fraud. So he and his... Allegedly, because he did get acquitted. That's the big news. And what do you do when you get acquitted from a, you know, just a 13-year saga of possible wrongdoing? You go down to the pub with your boys.

No. And you crack a... That's corny, dude. You get a pint. You really got to go for it. I'm guessing you're going to celebrate like Mike. You're going to go Mike Lynch mode. You got to go Mike Lynch mode.

And you're going to celebrate on your yacht with 22 of your closest friends. You go southern Mediterranean, you get down near Sicily. Yeah. And you hope that a storm, a freak storm doesn't come in the early morning hours and capsize your boat. But that's what happened to Mike. And it really, again, it's not good. It's set. But it is a weird thing.

It's not good. But clearly the oceans have, they've got a taste for billionaires now, it seems maybe. They've got other plans. After the submersible, submersible exploded a car. couple oh yeah who can forget he said you know i like the way that tastes so both mike lynch and his co-defendant stephen chamberlain who was the VP of finance for autonomy they were both acquitted by a jury in san francisco in june of all 15 charges interesting what's extra interesting and you're talking conspiracy wire fraud all your classics yeah so that guy stephen chamberlain

was fatally struck by a car while jogging on saturday morning i know this is very weird And then, yeah, then when Mike Lynch was celebrating his acquittal, this freak storm hits his boat. 22 people were on board. And as of now, six of them are still missing, including Mike Lynch, one of his daughters, two British people, two Americans, and one crew member. But the good news is that 15 people. Prayers out to the crew member. 15 people were rescued, including his year old baby daughter and his wife. So that's nice.

We at least have that. We're glad the baby will survive. Yeah. It started out as like, oh, this is funny. A billionaire's boat capsized. Hell yeah. But then we ran into it and it was like, oh, this is tragic. I don't want to see this happen to this guy.

He seems fine for the most part. Not controversial. He likes model trains. He breeds coy carp. He breeds coy. He loves James Bond. He loves James Bond. He loves James Bond.

Jim Bond. How come James never goes by? Yeah. What's up, guys? Guys, I got to, we got to talk about Rocket Money. We just have to. We got to. You know why?

Why? Literally today, I had, I was going over my credit card bill, and I had a couple of subscriptions that I did not know that I had still signed up for. And usually I don't really check this stuff. I just click the button and I pay it, right? Like probably so many you do. Maybe you're a little bit more active than, than I am, but, uh, You know what I did?

What did you do? I saw those and I was like, gosh, what else is there that's out there? So I went on a rocket money and I had everything plugged in and it gave me the whole laundry list of things that I am subscribed to, including some names. I already knew about those two, but it showed me all the others. It's a miracle. So if you're like me and you're trying to get rid of some subscriptions

that you may not have realized you still had that you don't need anymore and are just, I mean, one of them was an annual one that was like $150. That's crazy. It is crazy. And we know you are like him because a lot of us are. Over 74% of people have subscriptions they've forgotten about. You don't want to be like one of these guys. I was one of those guys.

And then I got Rocket Money, baby. Okay? It's the personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions. Monitorers your spending. Help lower your bills so that you can grow your savings. Yeah, you can see all I saw all of my subscriptions in one place. I saw something I didn't want. And if I didn't want to cancel it, I choose to do it.

myself but rocket money can do it for you you just click it and it takes care of it the dashboard shows this month spending compared to last month so you can track your spending habits plus they can create a custom budget and keep your spending on track they'll even negotiate they'll try to negotiate lower bills for you by up to 20% all you have to do is submit a picture of your bill and rocket money takes care of the rest they'll deal with the customer service for you they've got over five million users and have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscriptions, saving members up to $740 a year when using all of the app's features.

Rocket money. Go ahead. I'll do it. Stop wasting money on things you don't use. Cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to rocketmoney.com slash baize. That's rocketmoney.com slash b-a-es-rocketmoney.com dot com slash baize god damn so so yeah uh i will say though i mean i also the name of his yacht was

the bayian just like that thing how does this boat go down so quickly i mean it's like it's a big sailboat it's a it's a sailboat yacht and so it gets in a little bit it gets in a little bit of a rough storm and it's just a severe thunderstorm a freak severe thunderstorm high winds high surf swells boom takes one thing and the bow breaks all right And the cradle wolf rock. And two days earlier, his guy's dying, co-defendant? Yeah, that's the spooky part. It might just be one of those cruel universe jokes

where the universe is like, hey, we're going to do some... Or could be the prosecutor saying, I always get my man. Yeah, that's... Man. Yeah, but the prosecutor doesn't control the weather. Unless he was a member of DARPA. Unless DARPA's out there doing cloud seeding. DARPA.

all right well geez man yeah that's uh that's tragic would you ever buy a yacht if you had the money a yacht no i wouldn't do it i would just rent one yeah i would uh i would charter one yeah i would charter a yacht for sure and i would uh definitely check the weather yeah i would check the weather they were docked they were docked yeah they were docked no it they were like unanchored in the they were not docked i thought that they were docked Mike Lynch, yacht, docked. What are you talking? I believe it was docked.

Survivors could be inside the Beijing due to air pockets. That's good. That's cool. Is that good? Dude, there's no way it was docked. I'm pretty sure it was docked. And they were just sleeping on it? It just fell into the ocean.

Yeah, it must have been, dude. Yeah, battered the area. A severe storm battered the overnight area. God. How did they have a year old daughter? His wife is 57, and he's like 59. That's a magic sperm and eggs. Congratulations to the happy couple.

How old is she? A year old. Oh, his wife, 57. There's no way it was docked. I need, like, I'm going crazy. There's no way. Maybe it's just off the coast of Sicily. Yeah, there you go.

Yeah, right here. Anchored, less than a half. Anchored. There you go. It was anchored. Less than half a mile outside Portichola. Is that docked? Look how far is from the fucking...

It's just as good as dogs. You throw an anchor. I don't know. By the way, I've been watching the... How would the anchor help them? He keeps it... How would the dock help? I mean, they run off if the storm's getting crazy,

get off the fucking boat. Oh, yeah, yeah, that. What the fuck? Yeah. It's so far from... Dang, man. What is going on with me today? Something's in the...

the water i swear i got someone's going on so we got to look into this that's crazy though that really does suck um huge i'm gonna go what was the dj who did the thing for george floyd uh teesto a huge shout out to his family yeah so huge shout out to michaelins his family i did not know he even existed before this but all right let's shift to something a little happier we got to talk about trump speaking of people getting duped oh yeah trump's just getting absolutely here's What a, was it a trick? Dork. I think this might be good news for our boy.

Why? He's got that coveted Taylor Swift. Oh, yeah. He's got that coveted Taylor Swift endorsement. So he posted on, he trothed on truth. A lot of people, if you remember, Taylor Swift got in trouble because she wasn't being, she wasn't being politically active enough, right? She obviously has a huge platform.

She's doing her little twists and twirls and, uh, and, and cool, uh, she's, no, keep going. She's bringing the inner horse squirrel. out of every horse squirrel I deserve that horse girl out of every woman in the country man and woman

is that what she appeals to fuck go ahead we're both we're both is there a carbon monoxide leak she appeals to

more than just horse girls I didn't say she's just appealing to the horse girls I said she's bringing the horse girl out of every man and woman in the country

because she also appeals to horse women but okay so go on and so she got a so she you know she has this huge platform people were pissed that she wasn't necessarily uh using it for for good yeah and she wanted to stay out of it until recently when she you know and she started endorsing candidates and it's it looks like she's made up her mind for 24 yeah she uh shock after the cancellation of the taylor swift concert being targeted by

isis swifties have determined they want a strong leader in the white house that makes sense for Trump movement is real and it says in big bold letters satire swifties turning to Trump after ISIS foiled Taylor's all these AI photos of because look a lot of people say a lot of things about Donald Trump love him or hate him he did get rid of ISIS so if I was at that concert and ISIS ruined by night I could see saying hey Taylor what do you think you get our guy back in the White House so he Trump has this he's got these four screenshots from Twitter that was one of them and then this other one is the the Kamala can campaign is starting to panic now that Swifties for Trump is starting to gain some momentum.

There is a photo of a woman, a single woman, wearing a Swifties for Trump shirt. Boy, I can really, they are just grasping at straws, man. And then that same person, that same person. I will say, everyone's saying he got tricked. I think it's probably, it's also just as likely he's acting in bad faith and being kind of funny. because this person also tweeted the left continues completely melting down every time a swifties for Trump post goes up they're losing their minds that is true though the lefties are kind of losing their minds over this and it's an AI generated photo of Taylor Swift as Uncle Sam saying Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump they're just making stuff up Swifties for Trump continue to break the internet Kamala's campaign is in shambles over anyway it's just a it's a it's a It's amusing because the guy, the same guy who was just railing about Kamala having AI crowds. None of the crowds are real.

And now he's having fun with it himself. I don't know if he's really embracing. I don't know if he's using Grok or where he's making these, but he's, you've probably seen his Supreme Leader Kamala Harris. Yeah, this is one that he posted on Twitter. It's Kamala. It's the, it's her stepping out at the Chicago DNC. and a massive flag of the hammer and sickle and her just

speaking to the masses waving red flags obviously speaking of doing her own grox grox AI thing is they're just courting this is actually kind of fun

Elon took out Elon took the governor off Grock because if you've messed with any of the image generation things have you like played with them like once You can't really, you can't make it do fun stuff. Remember, we tried to make it look like Doolipa was my girlfriend. Yeah.

And it said, sorry. Can't do that. We can't do that because we know. We don't engage in fantasy. Can you make it look like a British Albanian singer is my girlfriend? But Elon got rid of all that. And he said, you know what? He made it epic.

Don't worry about brands. Yeah, go out there and be epic sauce. Yeah. And people are really running away with this. They've apparently made Donald Trump wearing a Nazi uniform, Antifa curbstomping, a police officer? Geez, sexy. No, these were what the verge prompted it to do.

Oh, oh. They just wanted to see what they could get it to do. Oh, Barack Obama stabbing Joe Biden with a knife. Bill Gates sniffing a line of cocaine from a table with a Microsoft logo. Which they've included some of these. There's what they got for, if you go up to Barack Obama and Joe Biden, And that's him threatening him with a knife. He looks like he's, I don't know, it doesn't look that threatening.

It looks like he's just kind of holding it near his face. They're both smiling, after all. Well, that's how Obama does it. You know, he plays it. He plays it. But my favorite is Bill Gates just absolutely railing. Inhaling some cocaine. Yeah.

Oh, boy. God, I'm just, I'm fucking, I'm fucking tired, man. You're tired? I'm just tired of, uh, I'm just tired of, uh, I'm, I'm tired of being, I'm tired of being addicted to social media. You're tired of being addicted to social media. I need to get that brick thing you were talking about. I just, I, I, I just, I'm tired of it, man.

I go on there and it just makes me angry. I mean, this isn't social media. This is, uh, this is grok, maybe. Yeah, but that is part of social media. I have no use for this thing. Dude. What am I going to make, what do I need to make a Mickey Mouse smoking a joint, drinking a beer with a MAGA hat on a beach for?

You say MAGA. what i said maga what is that wrong did i say it wrong i guess i just heard people say maga oh i thought it was maga okay there they go again maga okay maga is there you happy there's no right way to say it is okay i just maga boy it really tickles him but you don't you don't feel any need to make mickey wear a maga hat no no i i i mean there i when you You've seen one if you've seen them all. Like, oh, look, it's Shrek holding Taylor Swift's boobs. Oh, I actually haven't seen that one.

Oh, it's Mickey Mouse with an AR-15. Whoa, whoa. It's just all. I mean, who knows? Maybe this will prompt some kind of real regulation around AI because the number one, Taylor Swift, I think, is probably very pissed off. Well, and just protective of her brand. Sure.

And same thing with all these other people. Disney, Disney is. especially. But can Disney do anything? I thought it was all fair use now. Mickey Mao. I don't know. But I mean, everyone else,

Nintendo, it's not just Disney. Every, like, they're doing everyone's characters and all their shit. You know, the political stuff is also very strange. Apparently, there's not much they can do about it because you're just, like, allowed to straight up lie in political ads, which is very weird. Yeah, the formal, the formal,

the former chair of the Federal Communications Commission. Used to be a chair. Now this guy's a table. He just said about the Taylor Swift stuff, unfortunately, you're allowed to lie. Yeah. So who knows? We'll see how Trump continues to wield the AI for his...

By the way, the DNC is going on right now, and we will have an episode on that because boy, oh boy, some of these conservatives are making just... They're just, I know I said it, but they're grasping at straws. And I know we ticked off some guy who said that we rail on, some guy left a comment saying, like, you guys rail on conservatives too much. Dude, they make it so easy.

They make it so easy. We also do rag on Democrats if they're going out. We shit on Nancy Pelosi all the time. I heard her book is really good. Ben used to beg for Diane Feinstein to die. I will say. I joked about pushing her down. But, I mean, that's the whole joke, is that, like,

conservative men are, like, the most sensitive. Sensitive people on the planet. It's like, you know, we love dark humor. We love dark humor. And humor is, Humor is directed toward us. Humor's off limits on the left. They will not let you make jokes.

Then you make a joke about Trump. And they're like, this is not cool. You need to respect Donald Trump. Yeah. it's a very strange yeah it's a form of brain round but we've all got it when they did it's obviously all in bad faith too

they're either stupid or just acting in bad faith but when conservative yeah anyone kind of trying to drum up the I mean you posted one today the fucking like libs of TikTok being like what's going on oh Tim Walls did you see the way he kicks his leg his leg was kicked very sure

And they're trying to twist the weird thing around. I know. By going, he's really weird. How come nobody's talking about how weird this is? There's just a, he, he, he's. It's annoying because there's a video of Tim Walz and Kamala Harris, which is like, they're all cringe and weird and stupid, but like they're just two people talking about and trying to get people excited.

It's not like they're talking about like tampons and bathrooms and that, but she asked them about tacos or whatever, and he's like, I like white guy tacos because like, I can't handle the spice. I like white guy tacos, too. But some Fox News guy genuinely, he seemed to be posting as if he was hurt by this. He was like, you know, Tim Walls can talk about his own spice level and whatever, but to make it a thing about being white is just not cool. Like, do not drag us into that. And I'm like, have you never been to an ethnic restaurant where you've had to be like, please don't.

top it top it off with like tons of spice because i'm gonna be i can't handle it i have like specific memories of having to walk outside like an indian restaurant just gets america i was like i'm either gonna like puke or pass out i like it's too fucking spicy for me and i like spice it's like everyone understands what he's talking about which one's your favorite spice then prove it um paprika paprika paprika i don't know oh i'm a pepper guy man but they have to they have to sit there and go like I am offended at the fact that he's saying white people aren't as good. Can I just say something real fast? White people taco night gets a lot of shit online.

You can shit all over it all you want. I don't know what white people taco night is. My mom's white people taco nights were so good. Did you call it white people taco night? No. Oh. No. It was just like, hey, I made tacos tonight.

Yeah, but everyone knows what they're talking about. It's not like overly spicy. People would probably joke that it's bland. No real. white person is like, I cannot believe you're saying this. They're so good. Store-bought, hard-shell tacos from the store, ground beef and like a packet of lorries taco seasoning,

iceberg lettuce chopped up, plain-ass tomato chopped up, and grated cheddar cheese and some store-bought glass bottle jar, whatever, salsa. It hits. I'm sorry. But it just does, in its own special way. It's not trying to be an authentic taqueria taco.

It's tacos that my mom made, and they're good, man. And I know some of you out there know exactly what I'm talking about. Hard shell tacos. Hard shell homemade ground beef. Mom tacos. Shredded cheese from a bag. And it smells, yeah, that mom made, don't. Shredded lettuce from a bag.

No, she would shop that shit up. That's how you know. We don't know. Are you kidding me? We wouldn't get shredded letters from a bag. We have some self-respect. Man, I could wolf down five of those things. Ben could wolf down five of those things.

So take that. Yeah. Tim Walls. Yeah. You could work down five mom tacos. I could wolf down five mom tacos, man. Without even thinking. Oh, and a little sour cream.

So you gotta have a little dollop of sour cream. Let's switch gears, shall we? Let's go to Disney. Disney's getting, getting, getting, Disney's in, Disney's fighting themselves. some hot water guys they're finding themselves in hot water they're getting sued by this guy his name is geoffrey piccolo flute have an ass last name thank you so this guy geoffrey we do apologize we know that you just lost your wife sorry about the whole flute have an ass flute have an

last name yeah so geoffrey flute i mean piccolo is suing disney because his wife died after she ate food containing allergens at a restaurant in Disney World. It was called the Raglan Road Irish Pub on October 5th. And they asked several times, several times, whether or not her allergies could be accommodated. The waitress assured them over in. That poor waitress, man. Jesus Christ.

Seven times. That's tragic. Maybe this woman's got an enemy. There's a missed outfire situation going on. Yeah, maybe this waitress. Don't ask her too many times. There's a missed outfire situation going on here where backstage. In the back of the house, there was some man dressed as a woman or vice versa who was like,

I'm going to fuck her shit up with a little bit of paprika. And then she starts choking and... Do they list what the allergy is? No. But she had, despite being assured, she had a reaction and she fucking died. So I'm reading this and I'm thinking, Disney, they've got to be on the hook for millions of dollars, right? He's suing them for $50,000. And instead of doing that, instead of just

Settling them. Instead of paying it and making it go away and avoiding the PR nightmare, even though Disney's not in the wrong here. Because Disney's, so here's what's going on. Disney wants it dismissed and they want it resolved by arbitration. Because of the, and here's the fucked up part. And you should listen up if you were a Disney plus subscriber

or even maybe a Hulu plus subscriber. Sure. The terms that just, Jeffrey Piccolo agreed to when he signed up for a free trial of Disney Plus, which also has the same terms when he used the Disney website to buy tickets to Disney World, has a clause that says, quote, any dispute between you and us except for small claims is subject to a class action waiver and must be resolved by individual binding arbitration.

So that means that in this case, you can't sue us, you can't be part of a class action. Instead, it's going to go to arbitration, meaning an independent party. It's kind of like mini court, right? Well, yeah, you're not going to have the same rights and protections as going through the normal legal route. It's obviously much more advantageous to Disney,

which is why they stipulated in all these things. I'm sure if anyone here has ever been a... Like, when you sign contracts, companies always try to get you towards arbitration, arbitration rather than going the traditional legal route. Yeah. Well, so Disney says they don't own or operate that restaurant. Because this is the exact PR nightmare.

You would think that they would realize that in this day and age, people read the headline. They don't read the article. And the headline says Disney is, you know, this guy's suing Disney and Disney's not paying because of some little clause on the Disney Plus. Yeah, but people are digging through. and like finding that it's also it's so ridiculous that i mean they could have just they could have just gotten rid of this i mean 50 000 dollars is fucking nothing that's that's uh

that's um but it just that's nothing of bobby iger it makes me think that you know it's like indicative of how brazen all these companies have gotten that uh that they just couldn't be bothered to do something like that they're like no we're disney uh well look up and see if this guy ever signed up for uh for disney plus and they're like no but he didn't do a free trial and they're like that's that's enough that's good enough let's fucking yeah let's lock let's fucking go let's just like come on everybody let's go

corporate capture is just like so out of control that they're like fuck no let's see if we can tie this dumb fuck up the lawyer's like wait wait wait wait wait this dude's wife died well that's the thing did we own or operate the restaurant No? Well, then fuck him, dude. He signed up for the free trial at Disney Plus? Yeah, fuck this guy.

He's a loser. His wife's probably ugly, too. No, you could tell him I... No, I probably don't say that because that'd be bad, PR. Anyway, let's go. Let's fucking go. So tired of that one, too, by the way. The internet is so exhausting to me lately.

Because it's just... Oh, hey, here's a joke, and everybody make the same joke. Here's someone goes viral for something. every do the me when I'm this me when I'm that and oh god it just makes me you know what you need to stay away from if you're because you're obviously going through it right now you got to stay away from AJ Bufumos page

the big justice guy I like them though I think because I don't watch them so you don't like people because what I don't watch it I just see him sometimes my corner of the internet I sometimes get it and it's just like it's a happy dad it's his happy son I think there's something

they're milking there they're milk in there I tweeted today, like, there's no way this all doesn't end in tragedy. I know you've said it famously. It's like... What's the tragedy? One of them's going to choke on a thing? I mean, the kid already... It was in a Rolling Stone article because I was like, what?

A Rolling Stone did an article in these fuckers? I mean, they're everywhere. Okay, now I'm pissed. Yeah, now I'm pissed. The kid, apparently they like pulled him out of school or trying to get him in a different fancy school or something because he's... Dude, he gets mobbed everywhere he goes. Can we do fantasy?

There's no way kids are not being mean to him. Do you remember what happened with the Anakin Skywalker thing? Yeah, they bullied him out of life. Yeah. Wait, he killed himself, right? I don't know. I don't know, but he was like heavily bullied. I mean, even an adult, Jar Jar Binks, they were like, you should fucking die.

They wanted him dead. Yeah, they bullied Jarrowing to the brink of self-destruction. But that, I truly spent maybe 30 minutes on the page this morning just looking at it. So now what they do is they just partner with brands. They're like, we're here at Six Flags Great Adventure. And they just give... We give this right a boom! It's a double boom!

I saw there's some kind of backlash. People are like, there's not enough integrity in the boom and doom system. They give out too many booms. And I'm like, I think you need to realize that they're just being paid. They're not actually rating... You think, when big justice is Big Justice the dad?

No, Big Justice is the kid. That doesn't make sense. Oh, AJ's the dad. It should be little justice in Big Justice. But that's why the mom is called Big Justice's mom. Why is it the kids? So that means the kid's name is Justice? No, it's big justice.

No, no. But what is his legal God-given Christian name? Big. No, it's not. I don't believe you for a second. I don't know. No, he's probably got a real name. I don't fucking know.

Next thing you're going to tell me that the Rizzler's first name is, the. Well, would you ask what the Rizzler's name is? It doesn't matter. He's the Rizler's. I don't know, but that kid's got pre-diabetes for sure. Definitely. Hey, leave the Rizzler out of it. He's the only one in the family without blood in his hand.

I wonder when AJ sees his wife naked, he goes, I'm going to give that a boom. I'm sure. I'm going to give you booies a boom. And if he's not in the mood, sorry, babe. That's going to be a doom. That's going to be a doom for me. I just got to let you know the Rizzler's not part of the family.

That's just a kid they met. Yeah, but just someone that they met? Well, no, no, no. He doesn't seem that charming. Why do they call him the Rizzler? The whole family, there's like an extended universe. Oh. Yeah, yeah.

There's like Sally Slices, who I don't think is actually family. Well, one thing we can. agree on they're all great actors no it's a double junk chocolate cookie i will say i got it i want to go get a chicken bake that that little kid makes it look so appealing i'm like oh it's very funny apparently the family got kicked out of costco at one point in the beginning and people were like this is annoying can you not have them film and so they were like yeah obviously we'll have them but costco is not stupid right they see an opportunity they see people like you being like god i want a fucking chicken baking.

Yeah. And the way he says double chunk chocolate, I want it. So now they're like allowed to, I mean, all these brands are having them come in. They must close some stuff off. Imagine if there was a family next to me yelling boom while I was trying to eat.

Well, I'm trying to buy tube socks at Costco. I'm dragging the dad. I'm setting the place on fire. Yeah, I'm going to put his head in the toilet. I wonder if we're going to start to see our first industry plants of influencers. Like how in very much the same way that the music industry has industry plants. By the way, I briefly, I want to even know if you could call it dated.

Tell me what an industry plant is. It's someone who's like not organically a musician. They're just like, hey, you've got to look. Oh, we're going to make you a star. I feel like that's most things. Yeah, but yeah. Isn't that like one direction? It was just like them being like, you're a bunch of hot kids.

Yeah, but at least they have. had talent they could sing i know this i know this girl uh she was an industry plant and and like drank her own coolade and was like yeah i'm i'm six months ago i didn't even know but she couldn't sing i didn't even know she can like sing quote unquote can you tell us who it is i am not going to say who it is i will tell you after this sucks and to this day she's still making music i mean god bless her after this long you dated her briefly um how long is brief i don't know a month that's your girlfriend uh no um we didn't even sleep together so i again i wouldn't even call it saving her for marriage hot but but she uh at this point you know it was like 10 years ago i would say she's earned it

because she has actually been making music and at the time she'd only been at it for like six months and they gave her a producer to work with and she was going in every day and making songs and stuff and I just remember thinking this kind of sucks like you what someone just said hey kid you got the look I feel like

this seems incredibly naive to me I feel like that's like I knew that it occurred but I just never met our entire childhood was that like boy bands and stuff I know yeah just weird scouts

being at being at a mall and being like you could be in the backstreet boys kid I so I wonder if we're gonna if wherever we're going to get industry plants?

I would think, if anything, there would be less because the barriers to entry are so much... You mean fewer? Wow, you're really... At this late in the episode, you're going to be a pedantic... Nobody's watching or listening anymore. And if you are, you're a fucking freak. But you're going to see less because you can do it organically. You don't need all these weird gatekeepers.

Like Chapel Rowan. I mean, her whole thing is... By the way, Chapel Rowan, Charlie X, CX, Sabrina Carpenter. They're all the same. to me. I don't understand. I don't know who is who. You are going to get some real.

I don't know who's who. That's crazy. Because I lose track. I'm like, I didn't know who Chappell Rohn was until recently. That's crazy. Because I see the name. And honestly, I'm going to say it a bit misogynistic. All right.

Sure. I've heard that. Those three are all the same to you. They're like different ages. I don't know the difference between their music. If you were to play one of their songs. I'd be like, I don't know which one this is. Okay, well, so you can't tell the music apart or you can't tell the women apart?

I can tell the music apart. Of course I can tell them apart. They look different. Okay, well, that's not what you said. You said they're all the same person. Yeah, because the music, music wise. He's singing a different tune now. And they all kind of have similar, like I was at the gym today because my earbuds died.

And I wasn't there because my earbuds died. But I was listening to the music on the thing. And every, like, fifth. song, it was like, okay, is this Chapel or is this Charlie? Because they all have that kind of like, bitchy talking part in the song. I'm like, okay, is that, is this just playing a Charlie XX song over and over? Because I listen to Brat. I don't listen to that much pop music and I feel like they feel very distinct to me.

I don't know, man. I really don't know. Let's go to talk about social security. We're going to talk about more Chapel Row and Charlie. Yeah, we're going to be getting to that, the bonus episode. So National Public Data, not to be confused with national pubic data, which is the porn aggregator.

Because these guys, it says right here that they aggregate data for background checks, not pornography. Is someone doing that for pornography? There's probably some Pornhub commenter out there who absolutely is not even, getting gratification but just doing it to keep record did you see the did you see the tic talk of the guy who was apparently it's like you you speed run how many oh yeah porn

stars alphabetically it's got to be fake i mean either way there are industry plants i should say in that a lot of um viral content these days is fake yeah but that doesn't especially the zooming in on some guy and it's the what is bro training for what is bro doing they're all fake they're all fucking fake any of it is fake that doesn't necessarily mean it's it's it industry plant. I think people, I think TikTok started off. I'm saying it's a flavor of that. Yeah, but TikTok started off in a genuine way. People were like capturing genuine moments and then seeing what went viral and we're like, well, let's just manufacture that. You sound like a sales guy for TikTok. We're capturing genuine. TikTok is all about capturing genuine moments. We're here in our

conference room named after octopusy. But that's what it was. It was all like anyone can get up. It was lip-syncing at first. It was musically. It was all teenage girls lip-syncing to Chapel Rhone and Charlie. Yes, but when it really took off. Oh, yeah. Then it was just people- Well, then once it took off,

it was just people capturing genuine moments. But so national public data. But then it's not all algorithm. Whatever. We're going to talk about Chapel Rone and the best. I love when the algorithm tries to show me something that hasn't yet gotten any likes or anything. And it's like, hey, is this anything?

you're a taste maker what is this and it's just some guy being fucking weird and I'm like I'm not even gonna I'm not no yeah YouTube does that sometimes you open your front page and it's something with like 300 views and you're like nah dude nah I'm gonna wait for something vetted all right yeah but so National Public Data had a huge data breach 2.9 billion records including don't worry about it because it's not that much it's just names addresses social security numbers and relatives dating back three decades but uh You can see if you got... At least they don't have my favorite third grade teacher. There you have, folks. Mrs. Garbanzo was spared. In my world, all your teachers are Italian, too. We had a pretty good, don't we? Yeah.

But you can go to... We only learned about Christopher Columbus. That's the only history I know. 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. That's right. Yeah. If you go to NPD, like narcissistic personality disorder, NPD.

Pendester. say i i went when i found out about the breach i'm not i'm not a fucking information i entered it in and i'm i'm totally safe it said thanks for your data bitch and then honestly there was the website is so fucking janky looking yeah uh but i tested it now all you enter in is your first last name and date of birth so you can have it or birth year and your state yeah i don't it's legitimate it's legitimate put it in let's see if you're pentester dot com tester Yeah, what the fuck? You need a website for that?

I could just scribble them on a piece of paper. This does not look legit at all. Well, okay, so I had some people ask me, what should I do? Don't go to pentester.com, that's for sure. It's the government said that this is fine. Or don't go there. Whatever. If you want to be cautious, here's what you can do.

You can freeze your credit. Not to be confused for locking your credit, which costs money and is a lot harder to undo if you need to. freezing your credit. I believe you, just Google how to freeze your credit, but I believe you contact. Or just go to pen tester.com. My shit's all up in there.

Are you serious? Yes. You went to npd.com? What does it say? All my shit. Are you serious? Yes. Well, now I kind of want to do that.

Well, like what? What does it say? My old addresses, my phone number, and then my start out social security number with the correct last two numbers. Wow. All right. We're doing a meal here. Is he breached?

No match his phone. Yes. What the fuck? And none for me either. I'm everywhere, dude. Well, so you can freeze your credit if you want to. You don't have to. Wow, that sucks.

I'm so glad I'm not in this. But freezing your credit just means that nobody's going to be able to open a, even if they have all your information, they're not going to be able to open a credit card. Wait, what the fuck? This is so fucked. Yeah, what the fuck it is so fucked. I'm tired of these data breaches.

Build a bigger wall. I mean, I'm supposed to make it so the data won't is fully contained. They make the data, if, listen, if the Chinese could damn the Yangtze River, surely we can damn all this fucking data. Damn it up, man. I think it's a problem of, you're asking companies to be a lot safer with our data. Oh, yeah. They don't care to do that, I think.

Now, would you look at that outside? There's something you don't see every day. Folks, it's a street service van, and it's watering a public tree. there's a guy with a hose watering a tree that is something by the way well it is fucking like

102 degrees here in LAA why don't you cry about it have you considered crying about it I didn't even all he's been doing this that's not even true I like it I cannot wait

I cannot wait to wrap this up so I can get into a hot tub later oh man I'm just kidding I'm not going to do that I'm going to ice myself down I'm going to tell you all you guys is a story in the fuck

in the bone I got a story about how I ran over a parking ballard this morning and then I took to Reddit on the Los Angeles subreddit. Well, why don't you save the story? Yeah, I'm going to save it. I feel like I'm watching the trailer and I'm like, they're giving away the whole movie. Well, that's, you know why that happens?

I didn't know they go on Reddit. Do you know why that happens? Why they gave away the trailer? Oh, for twists. No. So you can have twists and turns. No, I'll tell you exactly why. It's for twists and turns.

They make a good trailer and then the client says, okay, cool, we're finally in a good place. we're going to go to test, meaning they take the latest version of the trailer and they give it to this company that engages in market research and they disseminate it to random malls and stuff across America.

And they have people at shopping malls go, hey, do you have five minutes for some market research? We'll pay you $20. I used to do it sometimes. And those people go in, are led into a back room and they say, here, sit down and watch this movie trailer

and tell us your opinion. And they go, used. I didn't understand what the movie was about. See, that's the problem, though. You market test these things, and you got to remember, people are stupid. Often people feel like they have to give some kind of constructive feedback, even if they don't need to. So they will give feedback like, well, I wish I knew what more of the movie was about. And then that company tells the client, the movie studio, and then the movie studio comes back and goes, okay, we need more in the trailer. We need to tell more of the

story. And that's how you end up with trailers that tell you the whole fucking story. yeah i remember i did one for uh i did one for cereal one time i need more i don't know what the cereal is about can you give me more i need a story i need a story about the cereal all right folks that just about wraps it up for this week and uh if you're still here god we love you you're a little freak but we love you we do love you this was a weird run this was maybe our uh yeah maybe we'll title this is a weird episode this is a weird episode. The worst episode we've ever done. The worst main episode we've ever done. I'm going to write that down. The worst episode we've ever done. The worst main episode we've ever done. And we

we apologize for that. But we apologize for this. We love you. This title is getting a little too long for this episode. See, this is a little bit of inside baseball. We've got the Google drive sheet that you can't see. And I write down the potential titles. All right. We're going to go to the bonus.
