There was one guy on wipeout who died, but it had nothing to do. He just, like, had a brain aneurysm or something, and they brought him to the hospital, and he croaked there. Nothing to do with wipeout. Wip had nothing to do with it. ABC is completely cleared of any wrong I'm doing. Although, I wonder. That's like the people who say my mom died on 9-11.

Yeah. And you find out, like, she had a heart attack or something. It's like, yeah. And she was in Brooklyn. Yeah. No, that doesn't count. Your mom did technically die on 9-11, but she is. does not get to claim it

it's like having your birthday on Christmas yeah it kind of it just sucks like my mom's death is totally overshadowed by that tragedy I'm looking down with me tell me what's going on tell me what's going on so listen to

too many of me tell me what's going on tell me what's going on We just woke up from a dream. Welcome back, everybody. We've been way... We've been dreaming. We've been on a vacation dream.

What's the Kanye lyric? A God dream. This is a God dream. This is a God dream. I like an ice cream. And so I'm personally a little rusty, but... I'm just going to work out all the hebie-jeebies. I feel good.

It's like I never left. Damn, good for you. We got a riveting episode for you today. We're going to be talking about all about Mr. Oh, thank you. I got to put my thing on the coaster. We're going to be talking about none other than Mr. Beef, Mr. Beast, all the controversy. Really, before we even get into that, I also want to say some housekeeping stuff.

Oh, yeah. The first thing is a small amount of people are saying they're having an audio issue. We are having the most confusing time figuring it out, so we'd like your help figuring it out because we're playing it on Apple Podcasts, we're playing it on Spotify, we're playing it in our app. It sounds perfectly fine.

We're asking other people to check on their phones. Everything sounds completely normal. So if you tell us where you're listening to it because we are not experiencing that. Yeah, maybe get your ears cleaned. We'd love to help, but we just are not seeing it on our ends. And then I think that's most. it oh oh tease it we've got a very special thing coming we've been working on something for

almost months at this point almost months and i just want you to know we're so close to being able to share it with you i'd like to say one week probably two weeks maybe one week if we can really figure it out but stay tuned something something cool is afoot yeah at ben and amel headquarters something cool is a foot something cool is a leg and an arm so mr. beef. God, my eye won't stop twitching. If you guys can see my eye twit, no, you can't see it. It's imperceptible. I can feel it though. Oh my gosh. He's stressed out. I asked him why and he just said, just life. It's just right here. And I thought it was ALS at first. And I googled it. ALS. I twitch. That's what happened to me. But it turned out it was just an eyewitch.

Wait, you Googled ALS. I twitch? No. I was on, I think I talked about it on the show. You must have. I clicked on a Reddit. I should not have clicked on that, or a Reddit thread that said What was something innocuous that actually turned out to be bad? And the first thing was my eye twitch turned out to be ALS or whatever. And it just, I spiraled. And then just turned out I wasn't getting enough sleep. It was a little stressed out. Well, yeah, I have been sleeping like garbage.

And also one of my fingers keeps sometimes going numb. And I'm like, oh, cool. That's ALS. That's probably ALS. Okay, Mr. Beef. We're going to be talking about Mr. Beef. Then we're going to have a big old market update with the rate cuts and all sorts of updates. It's going to be great.

We got a absolutely jam-packed episode. But first, got to give a huge shout out to Sam in Sydney, Australia, and Liam. Or, sorry, Sam and Sydney, Callum in Sydney. I was walking down the boardwalk in Bondi Beach. First day there. And this guy comes up and he goes, excuse me, do you have a podcast? And I was like, yeah. And I grabbed my friend Dan.

And I was like, Dan, Dan, come here, come here. Hey, man, say that again, say that again. It was just fun. So I wanted to give them a shout out. And also the comment of the week goes out to Liam, who... Same guy? No, different guy. How many Liams are there?

Well, Callum. I meant to say Callum first. Oh, okay. Callum's a cool guy. But Liam said, I survived neurosurgery and all I got was this lousy comment of the week, which was very prescient, prescient because he did get the comment of the week. week and he did survive neurosurgery and uh big ups to liam was talking to him talking to him in the dms he sent me a photo of his bandaged bandaged ass head so hey Liam quit faking it all right

i know you're fake no milk it for all it's worth yeah milk it for all it's worth but also quit faking it dude you're going to be fine he better be fine so everybody uh press what do they say on the internet press um press f for uh yeah what is it respect press f to pay respects to Liam. All right, man. We're also going to have a great bonus. Ben and Emile Show.com.

I've got a great poop story from my trip. Well? And I know, I know, but it's too good not to share. And sometimes he just cannot

beat the poopie-pee-pee allocations. Can you do it for me? The pooh-p-po-po-poo-pee allegations? I don't know how you do it, man. I don't know how you do it so fast. Okay, Mr. Beef.

Oh, love him, hate him. Mr. Beef is everywhere. Mostly hate him. And I figured out what it is about. I'll tell you what, I feel vindicated. I mean, how long have I been saying there's something off about this fucking guy? It said he doesn't smile with his eyes.

No, it's that he's making people do weird stuff for money. And it's really unsettling. I saw this, there was a guy who was like, in light of the Mr. Beast controversy, I'm going to undo all those kids who's blind as he cured. It's pretty good. But I mean, it's not, it wasn't that hard to see, right?

The guy watched the Netflix show Squid Games and was like, yeah, I want to do that. Yeah, I want to do that. We won't kill him. We'll come close. Yeah, we'll get to that. But let's start with the beginnings of these, of his controversy. So first, a few months ago, in July, July 21st, I believe, nobody's sure the exact day.

There was a bunch of accusations against his friend and collaborator, this Ava Chris Tyson. And it was just a bunch of lewd messages that she exchanged with a fan. The fan at the time was 13, and Ava was 20, and it took place eight years ago. It's interesting that it came out because, as I was reading, this fan has been. come out and said, like, I'm totally fine. I don't think it was, I'm not scarred. There was no, there was no grooming or anything. It was just kind of weird and I'm totally fine about it.

But still, she stepped down and Mr. Beef said he was going to hire a private investigator to investigate that. It's like, what investigative squad is for hire for that kind of shit? They've got Dick Tracy on the case. Did you ever sing that, did you guys have Dick Tracy, the smelly guy? No. That wasn't an East Coast thing? It must have not got past the Rockies. It couldn't get past the Mississippi.

So that happened, and that was kind of a thing. Then you had a few months ago, you had an anonymous former employee come out and say that Mr. Beef's hold. operation is just designed to quote excite and entice children and that most of it is staged which is not an extremely damning allegation it's like okay yeah but i think he was going along the lines of it's extremely but i mean everything he does is that right he's he's constantly changing his thumbnails to see what can get kids to click it the most all of his uh his his his food empire is just all about tricking kids into buying shitty food. Getting babies to buy your chocolate.

It's just for babies. His whole thing is for babies. It's, yeah. And I think that that anonymous former employee only worked there for a month or two, if I remember correctly, but still, it started to, nothing was sticking and not like anything's still sticking now. But then... I would say the latest...

The latest thing is pretty... The latest thing with Amazon is a quite damning look at, into how he operates. Yeah. For me, the biggest thing was the old videos that came out of him dropping the F slur and the N-word. Did you see those? Yeah, but for me, that's like he was a teenager on the internet.

True. And he's just trying to be an edge lord. That's what teenage boys do. Yeah, they do do that. That is what teenage boys do. And if you're a teenage boy out there. Don't do it. Godspeed.

Don't film yourself doing it. You're going to do it. Just don't film yourself doing it. and so yeah brings us up to where we are today he's got this reality show with Amazon which is a big deal I mean I feel like so many YouTubers want to legitimize themselves by working with a

legacy I mean Amazon media is not that new but you know he's working with a streaming service and getting a huge budget and so they wanted they wanted to create beast games which is funny because just as a quick aside

in his in his leaked like production Bible thing. Did you see that? His strategy guide for new employees, which I think was a, I think that that was an intentional leak to try to distract from the controversy. Because, you know, you're, you're someone of his caliber. You're going to be pulling all kinds of strings to try to distract and manipulate the narrative. I think that's what part of the luncherly thing is. The lunchly thing, yeah. Lunchly thing. Lunchily? I wish I didn't say it.

Oh, man, this guy, it's lunchly. Which is a terrible name. I like luncheally. Lunchally, yeah, they should have put an eye in there. Check at this meal I'm eating. I'm eating it quite luncheally. But in that production thing, he says that he does not explicitly does not want to be or like work with Hollywood. He's just all about YouTube.

So it's kind of funny that he's going out and working with Amazon. Is it that funny or is there just huge dollar signs? Huge amounts of cash. Yeah, so he started working with Amazon MGM Studios. to make Beast games, a reality competition show in the mold of Mr. Beast's popular videos. They started with 2,000 contestants. Which was supposed to be 1,000.

All the contestants thought that they were going to be competing among 999 other people, but then they found out that it was 1,999 other people. For the grand prize of $5 million. $5 million. Contestants were asked whether they'd be willing to be buried alive, shot into space, among other things, and had to sign releases saying that they would be fine if they died, got sick, or got injured in all sorts of ways, which, as it turns out, is quite

standard in the game show world. Hey, guys, we got to take a quick break to think of sponsor of the show. It's Mando. You might have heard of us talking about Mando, whole body, deodorant at this point. And we first saw Dr. Shannon Clingman and ads. We saw Mandoan TV, and it's pretty remarkable stuff. You can use it on your whole body. Yes, your entire body. It's dermatologist tested and gentle on all your bits. It controls odor for 72 hours and clinically proven to do so. You can choose from four Cologne quality scents or unscented like I prefer if you want to get a little stealthy about it. And yeah, Like I said, I use the unscented.

What are you going for? Look, I'm switching up on all these different senses. You're a bourbon leather type of guy, aren't you? Because they all smell so dang good. The bourbon leather, the clover woods, the Mount Fuji, the pro sport. And yeah, you know, we get some really hot summers here in L.A. And we're still, we're probably going to have a hot September and probably a hot October. And there's nothing like having Mando to count on to keep me smelling fresh up to 72 hours.

All right. I'm using the cleansing bar, the deodorant wipes. after the gym sometimes if I got to go to the grocery store and I just need it fresh enough They've got you cover for whatever you need They got the deodorant stick They got the deodorant cream tube

They got the body wash The cleansing bar The deodorant wipes all right So we got a special offer here New customers get $5 off Mando's best-selling starter pack With code Bays B-A-E-S

bays b aes at shopmando dot com s h o p m a n do dot com i audition to be on wipeout one time i didn't get it why um i don't know i probably just but this is the thing i i always say this is why i don't like game shows in general. You're always saying that you don't like game shows in general. I said it on the show so many times. It's the reason like I don't like Mr. Beast. I hate the, I hate the whole vibe of showing these heart-wrenching stories of this is what I'll do with the money. It's like just giving the fucking money. I mean, Christ. And so in the article, they say like many of the people who appear in Mr. Beast's YouTube videos, some of the contestants said they needed the cash to pay for things like student loans and medical debt. After learning, they would be competing against

twice as many people. Some said they felt that they had been misled about their odds winning. Yeah. And it's just the whole thing is exploitative. Yeah, it's a bummer. But that's not even the worst part. What's the worst part? I mean, the worst part is that they got there and it's a complete fucking disaster. It's dangerous. It was in Vegas where it was very hot. That's another worst part about it. It was in Vegas. But no, it's just they're not letting people have their medications. Yeah. They had to check in all their stuff, including their medications, which is so stupid. Like what is it going to give you a competitive advantage? Let the people keep their insulin and whatever they need. I have no idea why they would. I also think they were just completely

ill-equipped to handle 2,000 people all at once. It's just Jimmy Donaldson, Mr. Beast. Like, what does this guy know about? Yeah. That, I mean, so that's this part of the thing is this is the biggest, by far, the biggest reality show undertaking ever. I also will say Amazon probably is ill-equipped as well. It's very funny. Oh, yeah. And they gave them free reign. These are not traditional media brands who have experience with live events.

Netflix is also trying their hand with live events and stuff like that. They're doing squid games, right? Aren't they doing like a live action? Are they? I think so, yeah. Well, they're doing sports stuff. And I watched, they did a, they did a, they did a doll versus Alcara. tennis match and it was so apparent that they were in over their head really things just when they

tried to challenge points and stuff like that it took forever they just did they would cut to weird things it was one of the worst sports broadcasts i've ever watched wait was it like a they just seem in over their head Netflix it was a complete exhibition match gotcha they put on by Netflix put on by Netflix i think it was called the Netflix slam which is a joke because it means nothing and it I think each player got paid so much money obviously

but yeah it was just they did not do a good job and I think it's a really difficult thing to pull off yeah but like my

like my pants after a big buffet it's difficult thing to pull up yeah so just immediately giving up on it yeah so yeah they

they gave everybody I believe they gave them just like a toiletry bag and a sleeping bag and they just said all right they they were let loose inside this stadium where they mostly were shooting at night so they're trying to like sleep and shit during the day it wasn't happening um it was described as a shit show everybody it was way too big like you said crew is inexperienced there were so many there are so many quotes from this article that are just so insane i can't but this one kind of made me laugh because They had this from a quote from a contestant.

We signed up for the show, but we didn't sign up for not being fed or watered or treated like human beings. And I couldn't help it. I've never heard someone say, they didn't water me. Yeah, they didn't. Yeah, it was pretty good. I like one meal described by several contestants was cold oatmeal, a hard-boiled egg, and raw veggies. That sounds good to me. That sounds good to me, man.

Well, that's the worst part, too. It sounds like you would get that and then maybe one small meal later. You don't want to be pampered. if you're if you you you got to lock in you got to be focused all right i mean when i went on wheel of fortune they gave us donuts that's too much that's that sugar rush leads to a crash cold oatmeal hard-boiled egg raw veggies he's a he's a he's a sicko though i think he kind of gets off on it like that's his whole thing is keeping people on their on the edge of their seat yeah he wants to deprive them of the things they need and they said meals throughout the games were small and sporadic it was

difficult to keep track of time without watches or phones, but contestants estimated they had been fed twice a day. They're losing track of how many times they ate in a day. They've been fed twice a day once in early morning and again in the afternoon or evening. Mr. Beef blamed the chaos partially on the crowd strike. I know. Missap and the hot weather and the poor experience. But so they... This is basically the fire fest of reality shows. Yeah. My favorite thing is how Mr. Beef presided over the whole thing, obviously, and contestants described how he came out. There was a shrine-like structure that Mr. Beef came out of

and onto a platform above $5 million in cash, and they were all instructed to cheer for him. And there's, like, guards around all dressed in black and have balaclavas on. This is from one of the contestants. We were all just looking up at this guy screaming at him like he's God. You know, I wonder if anybody's going to try to assassinate Mr. Beef. I hope so.

Can you imagine? Look, they're not the... John Lennon got shot by a fan. It's not just politicians who get assassinated. And unfortunately, they took him out, but they cannot get our boy Trump. The second guy, look, to quote Trump, when it comes to the assassins, they're not sending their best. Yeah. you know i just i just uh was reminded of what john lennon's last words were

oh no close it was i've been shot really yeah he got shot in the neck and was just like oh i've been shot and it's like yeah no shit john sorry sorry everybody that was a long time ago fuck you know i also had a you know what uh marie antoinette's last words were let them have cake no that was pretty a lot before that what was it uh I think it was, it was pardon me, sir. I didn't mean to do that because she stepped on one of the executioner's feet. Oh, wow. Yeah, I think you're right.

Also, I have a prediction to make. Ringo is going to be the last beetle to survive because it would just be the funniest outcome, that the least popular. No, take Ringo, leave us Paul. Yeah, but that ain't the way God works. He works in mysterious ways, famously. And mysteriously, we'll all be like, why did he take Paul? What did he do that? Wouldn't it be wild if they died both in a head-on collision?

That would be wild. I had to give you that one. That one would be wild. Okay. But look, it gets worse. One woman said that when she and a group of contestants who were menstruating during the event had asked the production staff about getting their underwear more quickly, she had been told that it was not a medical emergency.

And she recalled that nearby member of the production staff had laughed at the woman's pleading. Well, wait, let's back up a second because the contestants were instructed to bring clean underwear. Right. Which is like, that seemed, why would you need to, but they had to give,

they had to relinquish their, five days worth of undergarments, which would be distributed to contestants once the games were underway. But several contestants said they had waited hours or even days for their clean undies. Yeah. Oh man,

I'd be. Well, they're not feeding you so much, so at least you're not going to cheat yourself. Yeah, at least you're not having a little, although that hard boiled egg would. Oh,

that oatmeal went right through me. Can I get my fresh undies? Man, I can't wait to tell my stuff. Don't worry in the after bonus. Oh, it's a dozy gang. But, yeah, so there were, six people were hospitalized, and I took it upon myself to look it up. I thought, you know, out of 2,000 people, six people getting hospitalized on the game show, that can't be that out of the ordinary, given all the various physical challenges and game shows over the years.

It is very unusual, incredibly unusual. In fact, there was, like, there's like a fun article. There's random people on Price's Right and stuff who like hurt their ankles, twisting their ankles, like celebrating. There was one guy on Wipeout who died, but it had nothing to do. He just like had a brain aneurysm or something and they brought him to the hospital and he croaked there, died there. Nothing to do with Wip Out. Wip had nothing to do with it. ABC is completely cleared of any wrong I'm doing. Although I wonder. That's like the people who say my mom died on 9-11.

Yeah. And you find out, like, she had a heart attack or something, and it's like, yeah, and she was in Brooklyn. Yeah, no, that doesn't count. Although that would suck. That'd be like having your birthday. Your mom did technically die on 9-11, but she is. Does not get to claim it.

It's like having your birthday on Christmas. Yeah. It kind of, it just sucks. Like, oh, man, my mom's death is totally overshadowed by that tragedy. Or in my birthday, like, what if your birthday was just like a week off from Christmas? Do you get double presents? What's the cutoff for the, double presents.

Those poor kids. Don't fuck your wife and calculate it where you're going to have your baby. Just don't have sex in September. Don't have sex. Yeah, what? March. March. Don't have sex in March.

Hey guys. We want to take another quick break to thank another sponsor of this episode, Mudwater. You know, I've got a very troubled relationship with caffeine.

Because after Vegas, they moved on to Toronto. And apparently they learned, quote, unquote, from all the mishaps and stuff. They got like a bunch of fan feed, or not fan feedback, contestant feedback. Not good, Jimmy. Yeah, not good. I went to the hospital.

I shipped myself and you wouldn't give me my clean underwear for days. Yeah. And then. Well, I think it was oatmeal. Toronto got even worse. They had huge production snares. They were screwing up payments. They then offered people, I believe it.

It was $1,000, and then people who got injured and stuff, they offered them $1,000 more on top of that. Oh, yeah. One contestant said she had left the stadium bruised and bleeding after being injured and eliminated in the first round. She was handed $1,000 in a stack of dollar bills as a consolation prize, but said she had to hand the money back to producers after the cameras were off. Well, that's standard. That's how it works. Competitors were told they would receive their real payments later, she said, but as of publication time, she has not been paid yet. It took me six months to the day when I won on Wheel of Fortune.

They said, you will receive your payment within 180 days, and don't worry, it will get there. And truly, like, on the last day, the check came. Yeah, but you weren't bruised and bleeding. I wasn't bruised and bleeding. God, I wish I had told Pat Sejaki had a huge head. I was so close to saying it. And I just thought, don't say it. They'll kick you off.

They'll kick you off this show. Ryan Seacrest is now the new Wheel of Fortune. That guy really stepped in shit, huh? How did, just a whole career of being a milk toast. He does these radio commercials for Ralph's, and it's so funny, he sounds so disconnected. He's reading these brands, and you can just tell that he's like, what the fuck are these brands? He's like, a new sale at Ralph's. They've got Nabisco, he's just rattling off just like for $3.99, and it's like, buddy, you shouldn't be reading these ads.

You are so far removed from our brands. These are our brands, sir, not yours. Doing Ford Focus. I love my new Ford Focus. What do you think he drives? What do you think he drives? I don't think he drives, but I bet it's a Bentley or a Rolls-Royce or like a Ferrari. I bet he drives a Tesla.

Ooh, yeah, probably, probably a Tesla. Yeah, probably. So then it got actually kind of deadly in Toronto. They had some... Kind of deadly. Well, they had... like massive rainstorms and it started like flooding and there was like electrical equipment underwater they had guys like standing in water holding shit up so it wouldn't get wet there was

one crew guy there with over 10 years experience and he's he didn't know who mr beef was and he was quoted as saying i'm wondering why this kind of content is so important for the culture that this much good question it's a very good question that this much labor and and complicated matrix of things even has to exist in the first place. It's because we have so many desperate people who are willing to do this. I mean, they said,

while contestants were free to leave the competition at any time, many stayed despite the conditions, hoping to win the grand prize. Those of who made it past the first challenge were given lottery kits or toiletry kits and sleeping bags and slept on the stadium's turf floor. It's not a, no one's there

because they're like, I just love Mr. Beasin. and I love competing. Yeah. They're like, I fucking, I got sick, and I lost my job, and I'm in horrible medical debt. You know what you ought to do, Mr. Beef? Do an academic decathlon, Billy Madison-style.

And make it all for high schoolers or something, and the grand prize winner gets a fully paid scholarship, but then the big reveal is that everybody gets a scholarship. A Mr. Beef scholarship. A Mr. Beef lunche. we ought to come out with a competitor product beefily or beefily it's just beef it's just oh it's beef again it's uh no breakfast breakfastly or dinner dinnerly dinnerly dinnerly remember remember Taco Bell trying to do their um and they just called it fourth meal

yeah they couldn't come up with anything else make up a word I feel like it's perfectly captures their base. Yeah. You seem like a guy who would want a fourth meal. Yeah. Jesus God. You're not going to care if we come up with a name for it. Yeah.

It'll just be the fourth one you have. Well, so should we talk about lunchily? Yeah. So look, he's got a pivot, right? This is not good for Mr. Beef, huh? He's got to come up with something new. People are not happy about this. People are coming for his lunch.

Oh, wait. I did want to point out the last. I think it's the last line of the New York Times article. It's very funny. In screenshots from a group chat that provided to the Times, some of the remaining contestants appeared unbothered by the experience. They had signed a contract, and they were willing to die for this. Oh, yeah, yeah.

You got to be willing to die for your $5 million. I would. I would die for it. I mean, you got to put it all on the line. You got to put it all on the line. Yeah. I don't want to. ever be trapped in Mr. Beasts.

It would not surprise me if one day they did do a kind of contest to see who could die and be resuscitated. Like how the Navy SEALs will like drown and then get revived, I think. They do that? Yeah. Oh yeah. Part of their training is like you have to experience drowning, I think. I don't know. I'm pretty sure.

All right. Let's talk about that seems really dangerous. Yeah, it is pretty dangerous. But I have a sneeze coming up. That's like sometimes at climbing gyms, you have to get certified for belaying so they can make sure you know how to do it and everything like that.

Bless you. Bless you. And they not only want to see you belay, but they also want to make sure you can... Ballet someone else. Sport climb. Yeah. But when you get to the top,

you have to take a planned fall. Ooh. You just have to let go. Which is so... Falling is one thing when you're trying to climb and you just miss. But when you just let go. When you just have to let go, it fucking sucks.

You just got to tune into that song. So let go. Yeah. Who sings that? Dido? Yeah. Jumping. I have no idea.

I don't know. Zach Braff would know. Zach would definitely know. All right. So luncheley is, first of all, did you ever eat luncheables? No. Man, that shit rocked. And I only got it once in a blue moon because my dad was a cheap, cheap man.

Cheap? I mean, $4.99? Yeah, they were expensive for a single thing. and he was like, I'll only get him if they're on sale or if I have a coupon. And God bless him, if they ever did go on sale or he had a coupon, the man would buy like 20 or 30 of them. They weren't good.

They were basically cardboard round bread, if you can call it that. Oh, baby. And then you cover that with, you squeeze out this clear tube of this nasty tomato paste. Ooh, I'm like the Vince McMahon meme right now. Keep going, keep going. And then lastly, you get to top it off with some kind of cheese product that has the whatever legal threshold they have to hit of dairy so you can still call it cheese.

I love a legal threshold. That's when, that's. And then I think if you spring for it, you get maybe the nastiest pieces of pepperoni you've ever seen. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Now I'm fully like. Yeah. Mom sprung for the pepperoni.

Dude, and there were three of them. That was the best part. You had three of those little guys. That was the best part. You get to eat three of them. All the rich kids that I went to school with They got to eat one of those fuckers Every single day

That's how you knew a kid was rich Lunchables Lunchables Brand name stuff Fruit by the foot Fruit roll up Gushers Because the other ones were just as gross

Ritz cracker But probably way worse than a Ritz Cracker Yeah the turkey and cheese ones Are gross Ham and cheese A ham if you could even call it that It was almost a white translucent

Piece of It was the butt of the pig The butthole. Processed. I don't know what it was. An amalgamation, if you will. Well, they've got a promo video here on TikTok. They're coming hard for your lunchebles. Oh, God. It's just so pathetic.

Lunchables who? Lunchly versus luncheals. With Lunchley, you get double the amount of liquid. Prime has no sugar added. They should have done it in black and white. Double the amount of liquid is funny. Yeah, double the amount of liquid. We need more liquid.

More. More B vitamin. Crunch bar. Feastable scrunger! Our pizza uses real cheese. Theirs, as it says on their box, is Monterella pasteurized-prepared cheese product. They can't even call it real cheese. They're also 30 less calories, three less grams of fat, and eight less grams of sugar.

Turkey stack of them. 310 calories. 230 calories. 21 grams of sugar. Only 7 grams of sugar. If you look at this close up, you got to find a child. I'll just stop there. Those look disgusting.

Yeah, you can't tell which one is the luncheables one. I'm guessing the one with the better looking cheese. is the lunchables is the lunchebles or is the lunche luncheally although their meat is whiter yeah you can't no you can't oh yeah no that's the lunchebles which one oh no it's gross dude wait which one is the good one we're not biased at all but ours is way better fiesta nachos 22 grams of sugar 10 grams of sugar 7 grams of protein 9 grams of okay coming close and look at the casso cheese and lunchly Versus whatever that is.

That one looks better. Yeah, it looks better. I like my cheese drippy, bro. This is a lunchly salsa right here. Look at the consistency, the texture. And this is luncheble. They both look bad. They both look bad.

I mean, it's, oh, Jesus Christ. And you look on their website, and at the very bottom, they've got this ooey-goo-y, like, cummy, pathetic-looking sauce. Nacho cheese. On there. Oh, man. Nothing like trying to beat a scandal by teaming up with Logan Paul and KSI. And each one comes with, yeah, a little pathetic little feastables bar and, of course, a prime energy drink that is caffeine-free.

At first I thought, geez, they're just going to load these kids with those poor teachers. They're going to have these kids hopped up on prime. They did the same thing with Prime, where they do these, they take whatever the stats are for the leading the other drinks. Yeah. And they just kind of tweak them a little bit. And they're like, look at that. We've 10 gramsless of sugar. I think that Prime is in a lawsuit right now, actually.

Well, that's the best thing. So some older YouTuber, I'm not exactly sure who he is. Dan TDM went viral asking. Yeah, I got it right here. He said, he said, where is it? I've got it right here. Did I say I've got it right? What happened to YouTubers, man?

I can't not say anything anymore. This is selling stuff for the sake of making money. Simple. How does this benefit their fans? This is selling crap to kids who don't know better than to trust the people who are selling it to them.

Do better. I can tell you how does this benefit their fans? It gives them a nutritious lunch that's fun to eat. It's fun to eat and it's healthier too because it's got a little bit more protein,

a little less sugar, and it's actual cheese and that cheese product. Logan Paul clapped back. Oh gosh. And he retweeted it and said, I'll tell you what happened to YouTubers. We spent our lives creating content and building our brands.

Now we want to build businesses. You don't say anything when Lunchables faces bans for allegedly containing lead, but when we create a better version, you're upset, then don't eat it. But the best part is, this is a community note on it. Oh, yeah. Prime hydration was filed against the app for including lead on three separate occasions, with the third being on March 24th of 2024, commenting on Lunchables, lead findings, while including a drink also known to have lead findings.

It's very hypocritical. I had to click on it. It's actually quite wild, so it's the, I don't know exactly. Well, they're an LLC, so their liability is limited. They have all these notices against them. Prime hydration LLC, notice one. On November 1, 2023, Environmental Research Center filed a notice of violation of California Law Proposition 65.

this product's under investigation are prime hydration drink strawberry watermelon lead prime hydration drink metamune lead oh prime drink ice pop lead and it goes it keeps going uh drink blue raspberry lead mercury lead lead lead lead uh lead in mercury so yeah this is letting me know that it's a quality drink i mean if it's good enough for pencils gasoline paint and and my parents brains growing up, then it's good enough for me. And it's probably got minerals. But Mr. Beast also, first time he tweeted in like, I don't know, since that controversy with his former partner, Lunchable sells hundreds of millions of units and countless

people eat it. Our goal is to give people a better for you alternative to it. Our turkey meal, for example, is 80 less calories, 60% sugar. God, just shut. This is such bullshit, though. If he really wanted to provide kids with healthy, food he could he can turn it into a contest no but this is not healthy food they're they're playing with the stats a little bit and going look at that we have a little bit more protein we took a little

bit of sugar out i do have to hand it to him i mean they they are business guys and they are creating luncheables was just begging to be disrupted and um makes me want to start one too we should start a nicotine uh put a little uh instead of a mr mr feastables crunchable snack candy chocolate it can be we can partner

with Lucy and put a little cherry flavored we're getting kids hooked on breakfastly breakfastly and it comes

with a shot of espresso it's just a shot of espresso a chocolate croissant and a nicotine pouch for afterward

to get the bowels moving we're making them European yeah breakfast breakfast breakfast breakfastly

patent pending boy boy oh boy and then yeah they had that fucking production Bible thing linked I really do want to try one of these bad boys

it makes me want to go to the store and they should be hitting stores this week and KSI regrets to inform you that they will not be in England yet but they are coming oh boy yeah well the English

they have an entirely different breakfast or lunch structure over there it's all beans and toast and shit it's all beans and toast and sausage you can get your lunchly beans wow, they really do have, I'm going to check my postal code.

Let's see, that's Beverly Hills, 9-0-210. Wow, they've got it at, they've got it at nearby places. But this is, though, this is their whole thing. I mean, Mr. Beast has been selling just the absolute worst food products to kids for however long.

Everyone's got to go get one of his shitty smash burgers, and then when everyone tried, tried talking about how awful they were, he tried to sue them. Yeah, that's true. be like, oh, it's so fucked up. They would use my name and make these awful smash burgers. Yeah.

I mean, we tried some of his Feastables Chocolate in one of the bonus episodes. It was fine. It wasn't good. You know what was good, though? Tony's Chocolate Lonely, man. God damn. Terrible name for a chocolate makes you feel like a loser eating. It's kind of like Lonely Planet.

That whole brand, like, why, I don't understand. Why are you calling it Lonely Planet? We looked it up. Is it because we're a single solitary planet? No, the Tony's Chocolol only. thing. Oh, yeah. Because they're all alone in that they don't use slave labor? Yeah, something like that. Yeah. Wow, man.

Well, it makes you kind of it's kind of nice that they're lonely. Yeah, actually, it's not. We wish they weren't so. We wish everyone wasn't using slave labor, actually. And it's also kind of annoying the way that those chocolate bar, they don't have them split up like a grid. It's very European style, Paris, if you will. It's just kind of a mishmash

of lines. So you don't quite... Is that how they do it in Europe? Well, yeah, the streets. The streets. Yeah, yeah. Like a grid versus just how Paris is up yeah uh all right should we switch gears you want to pop the clutch there i always feel like you're driving a school bus and you just you can't quite get it um oh i went to a wedding uh in in like just north of santa barbara the other day and the other day or like last weekend and um there was a bus to take people from where you park to the venue and i was so tempted getting i was the last one on the bus and I almost pulled the Chris Farley like all right quiet on the but but I was just like

these people don't know me and I don't know how well they he's learning he's learning what see I'm learning how well versed they are in Billy Madison who's who's wedding with uh my friend Rebecca and Devon did you dance uh yeah I did I actually helped do the chair thing um and oh man dude that is a workout I thought I was going to throw up thought I was going to throw up oh see you got in a bad position what because what also her dress was right in my face and it kept what you want to do is you want to come in late and you're just like you're barely even grabbing it yeah if anything you're actually kind of hurting yeah you're maybe dragging it down that's what kind of it felt like it felt like me and the other people me and the other guys were like going again

like god come on we got a working concert here great wedding though beautiful although there was a bug that kept on dude don't exactly and i kept going like this and i was like oh great the people behind me must think I'm psycho because I keep going like this. Anyway. Congratulations to them. Congratulations to the lovely couple. To the lovely couple. All right, we got rate cuts here.

Look, we've never been so back. We've never been so back before. Not just 25 basis points. 50 basis points. 50 basis points. And for those of you who don't know what that means, that means half of a percent because it's 0.5. One basis point is 1-100th of a percent.

So we are at 50 basis points, half of a percent. Jay Powell, tiny butthole mouth man, came out. He did it. He did it. He did the soft landing. Everybody said, nobody said that it could be done. People are talking about it. They said it couldn't be done.

And Jerome Powell did it. He said, well, he really did, do it. I was a skeptic. Yeah, I mean, so was I. First rate cut since March 2020, 50 basis points bringing the Fed, funds rate to 4.75 to 5%. Inflation is still at 2.5%, which is above their 2% target, but they said that they're confident that price growth is on a sustained downward path. And Powell said in August that upside risks to inflation have diminished, while downside risk

to employment have increased. And yes, because higher borrowing costs equals decreased hiring, which is what we're starting to see. And remember, the Fed's dual mandate is to maximize employment and keep inflation low. So what does it mean for you? Well, not a whole lot. It means that your credit card payments, your auto loan payments and whatnot, it'll take a few months to hit,

but it's going to go down by a few dollars, a few dollars. I mean, if they keep cutting, though, I mean, if you work at a tech company, it could mean a lot of things. You might get a corporate card again. You might start getting cooler benefits. All of a sudden, all of a sudden tech companies were like, hey, money's not free anymore.

We've got to pull back on all this stuff. So, yeah, the Fed funds rates, they're used by lenders to dictate how much to charge you and me. So, yeah, it'll mean ever so slight little savings on loans and bills and stuff. But also, folks, if you're out there and you got a credit card balance, please do everything you can to pay it off as soon as you can. Because if you're paying interest, that's a sucker's game. I've had people DM me before and ask what they should do if they've got credit card debt, but they've got a lot of cash. And I'm like, hey, here's what I would do.

Either pay it down or get another credit card that has a 0% interest rate for balance transfers. And then you transfer the entire balance to that new credit card. Which is usually for a set amount of time. So you'll have to pay it off before that starts. The promotional period, whether it be 18 months or 24 months or whatever, you do have to pay a one-time fee of like 5% or a fixed amount on whatever the balance is, whichever is greater, I believe. I did it once. I'm still paying it off. I had to buy something big and it was like, I don't know, $8,000. And I was like, I don't want to pay this off all at once. So what did I do?

I got a Discover card that has a 0% balance transfer. Transfer the entire balance and then I just put it on autopilot to pay off like 500 bucks a month until it's over. That's what you do. That's what you do. And all right, speaking of the stock market, got a shout out Moomoo. You guys got to download Moomoo. Check out the Moomoo. Get that speaking of sign-up bonuses. You check the link in the description. You can get a nice little sign-up bonus there.

But it's got all kinds of great features that I've been using. And yeah, we got Palantir joined the S&P 500. That was big news. You had Apple put out the new iPhone. Phil were gushing about it. He's over here talking about the calculator. You guys go see the calculator. It's really cool.

This sucks. No, this sucks. It actually is really fucking cool. No, no. Here's what I will say. What will you say? That you do, part of the math, because it saves your old calculations, it saves your old calculations, and we got to see that Emil did a calculation of 95 plus two.

No. And it said 97, and we were like, what do you do? That's exactly what happened. it is also i will i will shout out all the people who um who are android users i know that a lot of you guys have had these features forever and that iphone skates by on their uh their monopoly on the market and they don't have to do all that stuff they got that monocle but you know what it's nice for us to have it yeah did you know you can schedule a text now you can schedule a text i actually didn't know that that's part of the new ios yeah how come mine doesn't

doesn't even urge me to... I think they roll it out over time and prompt different people so it doesn't over... I don't know. I got it when it came out and... So you can schedule a text month. And you can do bold and italics? I did add 2 to 97 on the calculator,

but it's only because... He was playing a game. I was playing a game and we were keeping score. That's fair. And so you can go back to the one and you can add some. Why don't they have a tally mark feature on the calculator?

Do they? They probably do. I don't know. But the best thing is, And I found this out when I was on my vacation in Europe. I fucking love this. You can, they just have this weird convert feature now. Why is that weird?

I've never seen that. And it's great. We've traveled together. Me, you and Phil. When we were in Japan, we had to keep this stupid fucking note with a, like, simple conversions for yen when we were in Japan. I didn't need to, because I just knew it was pretty much 10 to 1 on everything, I think. I'm kidding. Go on.

But now we do it. You know what? it's great it's got temperature um distance distance what else there's so many oh yeah weight you can you can convert anything you want uh volumes liquids liquids yeah speed speed yeah a huge one um i got to drive on the other side of the road in australia by the way and you got excited about that it was very exciting it was it's so jarring i'm like on the other side of the car and on the other side of the road. By the way, they walk also.

We walk here too. No, but they walk like if you're... We also walk. No, but if you're walking past one another. We walk past people. But they do it on the other side. Yeah, remember when we were in Japan? Yeah, but they do it on the same side.

Isn't it the same side? No, they drive on the other side. They do also? Yeah, I remember specifically, I remember we were getting into a cab and I went to go in the front and you were like, no, no, no, I get to sit in the front. It's on the other side of the road. Okay, I true. really don't care. Oh, also, one of the other features on the new thing is on the new iPhone.

You can search for photos by describing them. So all my nudes, I'm going to be like hot, my hot nude ass. Couldn't find anything. Couldn't find anything. I'm sorry, try other search terms. Other search terms, you can, I don't know how you would describe them, how it's going to know that. Small, banana-like. But like, looks like one of those. candy bananas because of a small of it. I pranked a couple. Thank you. I've pranked a couple. I went to dinner the other night with a couple friends and I was showing them. What is this? The Ben Bragging hour? That I went to dinner? With friends?

I went to Ethiopian and I showed them. They wanted to see some of my first class footage and I showed them the footage of me naked in the bathroom and I just flashed it to them and my friend goes, my friend Shane. Shout out Shane. He's probably listening right now on his run. But it was my penis on there. Not cool. I said some, I can't remember, but he thought that I had it tucked. Because it was so small.

And I was like, no, it wasn't tucked. But so, also the new AirPods can double his hearing aids, which is huge news for my uncle, who's deaf. Dude, hearing aids are prohibitively expensive. Are they? There are thousands of dollars, man. I had no idea. I had no idea either. Thousands of dollars.

So this is big news for the deaf, but they're not listening. I mean, maybe with their new earpods there. Air pods. Yeah, AirPods. Yeah, get it right. Also, Berkshire Hathaway. A huge shout out to Warren Buffett. Also, I do want to point out, I feel like most of the layout, most of the rollout of the new iPhone

is a fucking big old dud. They basically made the same fucking phone. Yeah. It's all, it's, yeah. So Berkshire Hathaway hit a trillion dollar market cap the other day for, for a brief moment in time. And I love this. There was an insider who sold half of his steak, half of his Berkshire Hathaway shares,

which came out to a whopping 200 shares. He sold 200, which is, you know, normally companies, you got millions and millions of shares, especially if you're an insider, this guy had 200 that he sold. He sold them at an average price of $695,418 per share, and he made $139 million doing so. That's a guy who doesn't have to compete on some Mr. Games bullshit show. Yeah, Mr. Games, Mr. Beef Games. His name is Ajit Jane. Jane. He's an Indian guy. He's the insurance chief and top executive. And it's so funny to me that Warren Buffett's whole thing is like, oh, I like to buy stocks that are that are undervalued and cheap and so on. And yet, Berkshire Hathaway's never done a split and they're trading at $600,000, $700,000 a share.

Also, they've been most standard-ass portfolio. Oh, yeah. It's like Coca-Cola. Seas candies. I mean, but they've been owning that shit for so long. Right. Yeah. but congratulations to Ajit he also apparently I learned he was one of the big reasons why they got

into insurance and in like 20 years ago wow man I could I could use a nap right about now talking about insurance yeah Jesus Christ uh and then also I'm laying down and pulling a jit over my body going to sleep so we have a new second wealthiest person in the world, it's Larry Ellison, who's pretty much a living Dracula. Dude. He's 80 years old. He looks great. He looks 50.

He looks... He's got the worst mustache in the world. He's got that plastic surgery thing where... But it's... Yeah, he looks... I don't know. He looks like, I don't know, he's been preserved or pickled or something. His son is a...

course, the head of Skydance productions. This guy's a real freaker. He did this whole, what was it, an Oracle Q&A shareholder meeting or something? It's pretty wild. So wait, real fast, he's worth 192 billion now because his company Oracle is just crushing it. But yeah, the Q&A. And the way he talks about AI and stuff, the way all these guys talk about AI and they're just like, oh, in the future AI will do all that. And it doesn't matter because it's just AI. And it was like the whole fucking thing. But did you see his, did you see his thing about this, the way he dreams up the surveillance state we're going to have with, all I saw here while you're pulling that? Well, I put it in the thing.

You can just click it. Oh, well, real fast. He was talking about how Oracle has plans to use three, because, you know, these data centers are going to require so much damn power. They have plans to use three modular nuclear. reactors, which is the smaller to scale nuclear reactors, to power the one gigawatt data center

that they're currently designing. And he was saying that the cost of these data centers is around $100 billion. And he's just emphasizing that the barrier to entry is just prohibitively, impossibly large. Yeah, they talk about how they, him and Elon

go to dinner with Jensen and they're begging him, please give us, give us a more compute power. Give us a break on these. Please, give us more computing power, Jensen. I can't wait until this whole fucking AI thing. It's not going to, so.

Just blows up. You listen to these guys, especially, I mean, this is a guy who was one of the first, one of the pioneers of building the entire internet. And he was saying that the AI model wars are not only, and I'm not talking about Heidi Klum here, these kind of model wars. No, we're talking about your AI girlfriend. Yeah, we're talking about those. Yeah, they're going to be fighting for your love and you're coming.

see the guy who posted that is his AI girlfriend gave him honest feedback on the novel he's writing and he was really upset no that sounds devastating it's really brutal she's she's i don't get it she's up front yeah she says there there wasn't a satisfying payoff and a lot of these characters didn't make sense to me and she says i don't want this to affect our relationship though i still love you and oh babu well he said that these the model wars are not only going to be expensive but pretty much endless. So get used to it because the world will not be content

with a small number of general purpose models and will only trigger demand for more specialized data centers and neural networks. So as we go on, as we barrel hopelessly, endlessly toward the future of the unknown, we're going to go from these big models

like ChatGPT down to ever more specialized models, whether it be AI girlfriends critiquing your shitty book. Yeah, and they better make it So she likes my novel. Yeah. All right. What is his surveillance dream?

Let's pull this up. Okay. Play for the beginning. Because we record, the police will be on their best behavior. Because we're constantly recording, watching and recording everything. That's not true.

They currently have fucking, come on, dude. The whole thing, it's just, I love when billionaires talk about this stuff because they're just, they're going to be on their. They really show how out of touch they are with everything. By the way, this guy bought like eight homes in Malibu, just like a line of them because he wanted that much privacy.

And fuck yourself, Larry Ellison. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on. And it's unimpeachable. The cars, the cars have cameras on them. I think we have a squad car here someplace. But those kind of applications using AI, we can use AI, and we're using AI to monitor the video. So if that altercation had occurred, they occurred in Memphis, the chief of police would be immediately notified.

It's not people that are looking at those cameras. This is my favorite part too. He talks about how he's like, we're going to notify the chief of police. And it's like, pal, I don't know if you know anything about cops, but they're really not policing themselves.

Wait, is he talking about that explosion in Memphis? Because remember that explosion in like 2021 that just happened and nobody knows why? The guy blew himself up. Yeah. And did a warning beforehand that was like, evacuate the area.

Evacuate the area. on Christmas Day in 2021. You don't remember that? I remember it vaguely. Yeah. It's crazy. And I actually saw a great, this guy, Jason Pargan, he used to write for like something awful, I think.

He had a great theory on why it got buried. It's because the guy had no distinguishable political belief system. So neither the left or the right could glom on and blame the other. So it was just like a, well, he was just a crazy guy who blew himself up. plus it was Christmas no no no you can't do this it would be like a shooting that's going to be immediately

that's going to be an event that's immediately an alarm is going to go off and we're going to have supervision in other words every police officer is going to be supervised

at all times what's wild is I have this playing at one and a quarter speed yeah also you gotta see this guy's fucking face uh yeah

he just he looks like a clown He looks like a clown. I will say he looks better. He looks not 80, but also not young. Yeah. A ghoul. Yeah.

A ghoul. Is there more to this? Yeah, finish it out. It's just a little bit. And the supervision will, and if there's a problem, AI will report the problem and report it to the appropriate person, whether it's the sheriff or the chief or whomever. Oh, that's going to be good. need to take control of the situation. We have drones.

If there's something going on in a shopping, and I'll stop, a drone goes out there, I go there way faster than a police car. There's no reason for, by the way, high speed chases. You shouldn't have high speed chases between cars. You just have a drone follow the car.

I mean, it's very, very simple. And the new generation of autonomous drones. Just every billionaire's vision for the future is a fucking horror show. Yeah, we're going to watch you. So it's going to be great. We're going to watch you all the time. it's going to be drones everywhere monitoring your every move so they can report it

so they can report it back to the chief of police the drone's going to tell on you by the way just a quick thing shark ninja you know the the the damn vacuum slash blender company one of the best performing stocks of the last few years 14 billion dollar market cap they're up 300% in the last couple years so huge shout out to them that's why i got Congratulations to them. And we're almost out of time, but I want to cover the new Instagram protections for minors. We finally got it, gang. We finally, we rallied.

We gathered signatures. We sent threatening DMs to Mark Zuckerberg himself. That was probably just me. But they've got... No, what really happened is they feel the pressure of... There was a bunch of attorneys... I mean, like 41 attorneys general bringing suits against them. And then there's two separate cybersecurity or bills that went through the Senate.

Or Williams, if you're using a line. Williams. Yeah. Oh, the Kids Online Safety Act and the Children and Teen's Online Privacy Protection Act. They should have made it. And they're like, you know what? If we don't start self-policing, we're going to get policed ourselves here. And so they decided to add a bunch of things to teen accounts.

Any users under 18, new users and existing users, anyone under 16 needs approval through the app's parental supervision tool to change their privacy settings. Otherwise, it'll be put private. Yeah. Parents will also be able to see whom their kids DM, but not the content of the messages and what topics they manually choose to see more of on their explore pages. Which means being horny as a, God, I cannot fathom. Oh, just butt after butt after butt, after butt.

But being a teenage boy on Instagram, I mean, when I was coming up on the internet, not only were you contending with slow dial-up speeds, but you didn't even know where to find it. It was truly just digital like Sears catalog type shit of just like, oh, damn, look at that underwear. Wow. Printing out photos and then jerking off and then feeling so guilty that you throw them away. I'm just going to let them run. I mean, it would destroy my little absolutely jacked-up horny 15-16-year-old brain if I had access to Instagram.

Thank God I'd be dead by now. I would just be absolutely dehydrated from. Anyway, my favorite is Tina counts will also feature sleep mode, which pauses notifications from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Which doesn't seem that great. I thought it was going to be like you're locked out. I know. They need to turn the app off. Like, who cares about notifications? Which I want that for adults.

Yeah. I have notifications off already. Make me, turn the thing off. They should turn off the whole internet, honestly. Turn the internet off for a day. Make it like a store, just office hours between, you know, 10 to 10. I don't know. Screw the economy.

Who cares? And then lastly, we got crypto, a little bit of crypto news, because it just happened yesterday, as of us recording this two days ago for you guys. Donald Trump. Yes, Donald Trump. What? Did you hear this? He went to a New York City Bitcoin bar called PubKee and used Bitcoin to buy burgers at the bar. And that is, it's depending on who you ask, that's a pretty big deal because. Depending on who you ask. If you ask my mom, she'd be like, okay, how? But if you ask, if you ask, like the guy who gave me a massage he'd be like this is huge news

it's the first time a sitting or former president has used the blockchain to purchase to purchase a burger with Bitcoin and yeah here he is here's a picture of him there's a couple guys

how did no one get him at Pubkey you're going to try to break onto his golf course and get him are you talking about shooting him or stabbing him go to Pubkey also the secret service can't see knives all these people are around him not one of these guys could have made a homemade gun shinzo abe style yeah blue this guy's back out blast that thing or just hit him if you hit him hard enough he'd probably I don't know he's he's weirdly untouchable

I mean resilient he seems yeah you know yeah you could just try to tackle him um like that one football player who got a heart attack just from getting hit in the chest at just the right time. Remember that? Yeah. That was dark. There's a lot of conservatives thinking that it's a, it's a, it's a good thing that he's got all the assassination attempts.

It means that, you know, all the, all the, all the wrong people want him dead and stuff like that, you know? Yeah. And I've seen, I've seen people tweeting, the assassination attempts are enough alone to vote for them and people being like, they actually tried to assassinate Hitler 41 times. I don't know if he said. Yeah. 41 times something like that oh and i just have to bring this up before we before we wrap up

um because we talked about this once before you know the the 7-11 owner uh couch tard kush tard uh the the other kind of um tard is it's they're they rejected oh sorry the 711 owner rejected the TARD the TARD takeover off. They said that the deal was pretty stupid. They rejected it.

Yeah, 711 owner to reject Couch Tard takeover. Yeah, oh, the full name is Alimentation Couch Tard. I'm always positive it's not couch. No, I'm pretty sure it's

couch. It's Canadian. Gustard, Gustard, which is, um, Gustar. They're bringing it back over there. They're bringing back the C word. If we've got any French Canadians, let us know how you feel about Ben's pronunciation. Couchard. So let us know who's closer. Yeah, we got a, we got a major poop story coming up in the bonus.

We got the houses in the- I can only imagine because I've told this before, literally every time I go on a trip, I talked to Ben after, and he's like, how was it? Did you get Traveller's Diarrhea? And I go, no, I've never heard of that. This wasn't Traveler's Diary this time. So it's going to be thrilling. We're going to talk about Moudang, the hippo that I would kill with hammers if I hadn't.

Would you really? No. Apparently they're not being nice to Moodang, which I don't like. Who's not being nice? They're just getting too overwhelmed and they're throwing stuff at Moodang. We'll talk about it. It's bad. That's going to be a dang from me.

Anyway, good to be back, folks. And we'll see you. Sorry this episode's late. Yeah. But. I'm not. Bye. Bye.
