This episode, we're going to be giving our, we're going to be making our 2024 predictions for the year. We're going to map out exactly what is going to happen. It's just going to be celebrity deaths. We're just going to list off all the major people who we think is going to die.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Number one on my list, Morgan Freeman. Is that number one? Ah, he's dead, dude. He's dead in the door now. We've got till December 31st, 2021, 24. for Morgan Freeman to drop dead. Otherwise, we lose a lot of money. I'm not saying he's going to drop dead.
Starting point is 00:01:04 I'm just saying he's like pushing, I think he's in his 80s. That's not what we're doing. He's going to slip away. No, we're not. He's going to slip away. He's going to slip dead. No, we're not doing that. But we are doing our predictions.
Starting point is 00:01:30 are finally doing we fix the Q&A thing so when you sign up on Patreon all you got to do is link your discord to it and it'll it should be seamless should be and there is a we always think it's going to be it no it will be because we tested it i tested it with brian our diligent discord mod master master you can't say that dude come on do mistress okay that's a little bit better mistress yeah he's our discord mistress man running's not going to like that he uh we we believe we've got it figured out where you just put your question in the in the q and a
Starting point is 00:02:09 discord sub chat room and then we'll pick them don't worry it just anyway it makes sense when you go on there yeah it'll make sense it'll make sense but so we got some we got some major predictions coming in your way it's going to be a big year we got a lot of stuff coming. Yeah, speaking of big years, I thought I'd give a quick market update, I guess.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Please. It'll be very quick. So, last year, I just learned this fun fact. The NASDAQ had its best year since the dot-com bubble last year. That's a pretty big deal. What's that fueled by? The Magnificent Seven, they call them now. One of my favorite clash songs.
Starting point is 00:02:54 One of your favorite clash songs? the magnificent seven cool dude ring ring seven eight oh fuck you can't do that take no no that's fine the algorithm won't care about or the YouTube won't care about that that was that was so bad
Starting point is 00:03:08 it won't pick it up it won't pick it up so if there's any clash fans in the comments let me know if you recognize that let's see if I can rattle them off though it's meta Tesla Nvidia
Starting point is 00:03:22 Nvidia uh Microsoft Apple fuck what am I missing there's two others Google and I don't know if it's in Amazon
Starting point is 00:03:34 they are the ones mostly responsible for the gains in the NASDAQ last year but everybody thought we'd get a recession everybody was calling for it and you know the more the more you see people calling for things the less likely they are to happen
Starting point is 00:03:51 which is what scares me now that everyone's feeling optimistic about 2024 you would think so, but it's, it, it just kind of always just works out in the bull's favor. When everybody's bearish, that's actually bullish. When everybody's bullish, that's actually bullish. Yeah. So I, I just, it is a little, it is a little worrisome because now everybody is, they're assuming that the Fed is either going to pause or cut rates. So, and everybody assumes that inflation is mostly over, but I don't know, we'll see. Yeah, everyone's stoked about that. One thing is for sure, though,
Starting point is 00:04:23 people love crox um i i just wanted to share this real fast because the the crox CEO made a pretty funny comment which is uh as soon as it finishes loading on your slow ass wifi i knew you're going to blame the wifi yeah the crox CEO says business is booming because people just don't want to dress smartly anymore that's what the crook CEO said which is basically an admission that yeah our shoes look like shit and they look stupid right yeah they sure are comfortable But I still have never owned a paragraph. I've never put one on. I think a TikTok or a reel made its way to my feed.
Starting point is 00:05:00 And a woman was talking about how she was like, don't even get them because you're like, oh, I'll get them and I'll wear them around the house. Or I'll wear them when I'm feeling lazy. But then you put them on and they're so comfy, you're like, I'm never putting shoes on again. I can't imagine rubber shoes with holes in them are that life-changingly comfortable that I'd be wearing them all the time.
Starting point is 00:05:22 But then again, walking around wearing sandals these days. Every time I see you. Anyway, there's... You think they would have taken a hit after the whole Mario Battali thing. Why? Because he famously wears his crocs? Yeah, he was riding around on his little scooter with his red, orange crocs. Yeah, but that's the beauty of the miracle of crocs.
Starting point is 00:05:42 They're so comfortable? They're not... You don't even care if there's a disgusting red-haired Italian man. I just don't... If it's the preferred choice of a sexual... deviant. They don't, they aren't tied to one single person. My mind, I think Crocs, Mario Battali. I think Justin Bieber. No way. I think Justin Bieber. I don't know why. No. Or Christine Sidelco, do you remember her? Christine Sidducco. She was an internet personality who, who just up and
Starting point is 00:06:14 disappeared. She famously coined the term Mary Chrysler. Not familiar. Do you know Hunton? Wow. Okay. Anyway. Well, she loved Crocs and would talk about them and post about them all the time. So there you have it. Wear Crocs. You might end up being an awful person or disappear. Yeah. Or Crocs just, I mean, I heard they got boots. I think we covered that one time.
Starting point is 00:06:40 But so there are some, the bubble, the NASDAQ having the best year since the dot-com bubble is not the only comparison that can be drawn. I think that there is something to be said for the coming AI boom and Y2K. You remember Y2K. Oh, do I? We all remember Y2K. For those of you who don't, Y2K is... I heard this fuck. No, no, you heard this fah.
Starting point is 00:07:08 You heard this fah, what? Go ahead. It only extends, people should know what it is before you. Right. They know what Y2K is. Well, they might not. Y2K stands for year 2000. And it's not just the style.
Starting point is 00:07:20 You're... You people are obsessed with now. You fucking dorks. It was, it was the moniker given to, basically when 1999 was turning into 2000, there was this. There was going to be a huge problem with the turnover of, yeah, because everything was on the two-digit year. So 99 to 0-0 was going to cause mass hysteria.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Because the computers were going to go, what? That's all of a sudden the year zero? This is fucked up. You're fired. And then everybody would lose their jobs and their money would explode and everybody's health insurance would. The global banking system was going to crash. Oh, yeah. Planes were going to crash into the ground.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Yeah, because the planes were going to go, what? It's the year zero. And then they were going to crash into mountains. People were loading up on supplies and bullets and people, people, they were convinced that this was going to be a major, major. issue and um sure enough it wasn't well that's the fun thing i i read this article about how it was an issue but a lot of steps were taken to um mitigate yes this issue like what what sort of steps oh god i read it so i don't know the computers yeah they they brought in a bunch of uh they poured water on them to cool him down yeah i wish i knew you were going to talk
Starting point is 00:08:50 about Y2K because I would have brought this article up I mean only a little bit in the sense that everybody was so sure but I like thinking that we did avert
Starting point is 00:09:02 a huge crisis sure yeah kind of like you remember that that Soviet submarine guy who was the third man who said actually no we're not going to launch
Starting point is 00:09:14 the nuke there were two Soviet submarine there were in like the during the Cuban Missile Crisis yeah And he famously just said, you know what? No, I like McDonald's. That's why he did it for the McChicken?
Starting point is 00:09:27 I'm not going to do it. I tried to go to McDonald's on New Year's eat, on New Year's, they were closed. New Year's Day? Well, I mean, technically, it was like one in the morning. Tried to go. They were closed. That seems like a complete misfire. I know.
Starting point is 00:09:41 There's going to be a lot of hungry people. Yeah, Del Taco was open, but you couldn't catch me going there. So we ended up going to get a slice of pizza. I like that you're incorrigible. You had food poisoning last week? You're like, fuck it, let's try McDonald's. Oh, yeah, we still keep your eyes peeled because we are going to be doing a, even though I've gained a little weight and I need to like chill out, we're going to be doing the
Starting point is 00:10:04 Ben's fast food taste test reviews. I'm going to go, I'm going to eat a Big Mac. The show's going to kill Ben. I'm going to eat a Big Mac. I'm going to get the flagship offering at every fast food. I think that should be the thing. the flagship offering at every place. So I'm going to have a whopper.
Starting point is 00:10:22 I'm going to have a chick-fil-a, chicken. I'm going to have a Big Mac and a Taco Bell. Burrito. Quarter-pounder. Dorito. Let's start this weekend. Crazy Dorito. Fuck, really?
Starting point is 00:10:37 Yeah. Okay, maybe. Yeah, well, no. Anywho. So I do think that there's a bit of overlap with the Y2K hysteria in that everybody was, there were a lot of malcontents. and naysayers and chicken littles running around saying that the sky is falling. And lo and behold, it didn't.
Starting point is 00:10:58 But to your point, yeah, there was a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff, I'm sure, that took place to make sure that nothing did. Well, that's the thing is, yeah, I remember even back then, I remember reading about, like, well, we know so far in advance that it could be an issue that companies and all these things are, there's all sorts of steps being taken to make sure that nothing bad happened. Right. They were training the computers to, like, not panic when they saw the double zero. So that they knew, like, yeah, there's more than a hundred. There's more than 99 years. It's starting over. But anyway, let's, let's, well, I'll touch on that a little bit more in a little bit, but.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Wait, but also, so, you were saying something about how the stock market, the stock market is, like, now close to its all-time highs. It's, like, right back up there, yeah. a hair away from all-time highs I believe we already tapped it at the I mean today as of this recording two days ago for you guys today for us
Starting point is 00:12:00 no we gap down today so we the market had been up has been up I mean it remains to be seen this week but I think nine weeks straight nine or ten weeks straight it's just ridiculous I mean
Starting point is 00:12:13 it's I don't know but yeah we're at where a stones throw away from all-time high. Yeah. So things are looking pretty good. Things are looking, yeah, it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. Speaking of New Heights, my very first prediction for 2024 is that this podcast will soar
Starting point is 00:12:34 to new highs. Wow. I hope that one comes true. You don't have to hope. Great. It's a fact. I've seen it in my crystal ball. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Yeah. That's great news for me. Do you want to, should we ping pong back and forth? Sure, I think you have my first one. Hit me. Hit me what you got. And this one hurts to even think. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:12:55 I got Band-Aids. I think as long as we're talking about all-time highs, not only this podcast, but I do think I think Bitcoin's going to do it. Get all-time highs? Yeah. I think it's at 45K right now. Do you think it's because of the ETF? No, I think it's, I mean, as much as everyone wants to believe it's some kind of like hedge
Starting point is 00:13:17 against traditional systems and everything. It does seem to follow the stock market. When the stock market, it like goes up and down with it. And as everything's going up and up and up, Bitcoin's going to keep doing it. Risk on, baby. I'm so, I literally spent like 10 minutes today just hitting the charts and being like, fuck, just a year ago. Is that like 16K?
Starting point is 00:13:43 Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty frustrating. well that's mine and that does not mean i believe that it's found some use or whatever it's just like as a speculative asset it's it keeps going up and uh i'm so fucking pissed brother you're preaching in the choir the other night i was thinking man if only i just bought a bunch of bitcoin and then like sold it at the top and then waited for it to get cut in half and then bought again and then sold it like you could just keep doubling your money by I'd just selling it at the top,
Starting point is 00:14:18 selling it when it's at highs and then buying it again when it's cut in half. You know, whatever, man. I don't know. I'll end up making my millions somehow. Speaking of highs, that's my other prediction,
Starting point is 00:14:30 is that the market will keep going higher. And this is going to sound silly, but it does make sense. The higher it goes, the higher it goes. That sounds silly. Make it make sense, Ben. Because the higher it goes, the more traders and whatnot
Starting point is 00:14:43 are going to think that it should pull back. and drop but that's the thing the more the the the big pullbacks happen when you least expect it and when everybody's at least somewhat expecting it they hedge accordingly and when they hedge that in a technical kind of way can make for more highs to come like it just the the buyers are higher sellers are lower and the higher it goes the more people are just especially those who are on the sidelines it'll just keep going I think we're entering a new age of, yeah, I think there's going to be a couple big down days this year,
Starting point is 00:15:22 but then they'll just whip right back up. Can you tell me when those are going to buy in? Yeah, I'm thinking when Morgan Freeman dies, there's going to be a mass exodus in the markets. I think he's going to be, it's going to be a watershed moment. People are going to panic and be like, what does this mean for markets if Morgan Freeman died? Well, you heard it here, folks.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Keep your eyes peeled for that. That headline. Make a little money. Yeah. Make a little money this year. And if you're out there and you're upset at me for making that prediction. Who's going to be upset? Who's going to be upset?
Starting point is 00:15:57 I don't know. People are going to be like, that's fucked up that you said that. There's always one guy. It's fucked up that he said he's going to slip away. Celebrities die. Okay. And would you like me to offset it with a young talent? Please.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Okay. Jacob Lordy No No, God forbid I don't want them to go I mean I That's the thing is We don't want any of these people
Starting point is 00:16:22 I'm not saying it's good Or that I want it to happen I'm saying that if I were a betting man And I had to place a bed On which celebrity Was most likely to perish To slip away this year I'd say Morgan Freeman
Starting point is 00:16:35 It just kind of makes sense It's in the ether He won't make it to 2030 That's for sure You know who else won't make it to 2030 I don't think Jack Nicholson No, well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Good thing they filmed that movie, the bucket list. Yeah, both of them together. Good thing they cross that off their bucket list. Once they both die, it'll be like, I can see the tweets. They're both in heaven now. Bucket listing. I, um, now I'm not going to make this other one, this other prediction, but, uh, it's great. Bucket lists.
Starting point is 00:17:06 I'd never heard of bucket lists. Really? Before that movie came out. It's usually janitors that, that write them. They got their, they got their bucket list. Make the prediction I don't know I've been saying
Starting point is 00:17:19 John Goodman for a long time But John Goodman Yeah but he got thin Yeah he got thinner now Yeah You know who else is a really old Celebrity But also happens to be black
Starting point is 00:17:29 Who'd be Goldberg No, Sam Jackson Sam Jackson Samuel Jackson Yeah I don't know You're on a Sam Jackson Basin basis with him Yeah I mean
Starting point is 00:17:36 What do you call him Samuel L Oh come on No I say his whole name We are all on a first name basis with Samuel L. Jackson. You call him Sam? We call, no, I just call him Sam Jackson.
Starting point is 00:17:48 No, you call him Samuel L. Jackson. No. It's disrespectful. Sammy Jack. Sammy Jack. Jack, so. Okay, give me, give me your other prediction. All right.
Starting point is 00:18:00 What's your next one? Yeah. Bitcoin's going. What do you got, bitch? Speaking of bitches. Nicky Haley. Uh-huh. I think she's going to win the Republican primary.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Oh. Really? You think Nikki Haley? is going to be the president, not president-elect, the Republican candidate for Pottis?
Starting point is 00:18:21 Who do you think is going to be the digital, the Democrat one? I mean, who do you think? I think Joe Byron. Right. But if something were to befall,
Starting point is 00:18:31 if some sort of staircase were to claim the life of one president, Joe Biden, I don't know. I think that they would go Gavin Newsom. Oh yeah, they'll get Gavin Newsom to step in.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Because I think what's their, name is too stupid. But I think she might even be our first female president. I think it... No way. Really? It's going to be a weird year.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Interesting. I don't know. I'm going to make a fun. That's a solid prediction. I'm making fun ones. Yeah, yeah. That is a good one. That's fun.
Starting point is 00:18:56 It's not fun to be like, I think the frontrunner is going to be the... Well, it's also not fun to be like, I think Samuel Jackson could die by 2030. That's fun in a way. Yeah. I think that by 2030, a lot of... People will be dead, including me. A lot of legacy celebrities will die by 2030, which is something that people will Niro, Al Pacino, we got to start...
Starting point is 00:19:16 Truly. No, they are all... We got to make way for new Italian-American actors. No, we got to prepare ourselves mentally for the fact that in the next 10 years, a lot of our most... A lot of our most beloved actors and actresses and celebrities are going to die. They're going to fade away, or slip away. No, but here's the... It's going to be a really weird...
Starting point is 00:19:43 okay what it's gonna be a really weird what it's gonna be a weird election rfk junior still weirdly oh yeah he's like he you know he could run as an independent that's what he's doing he's gonna run it as an independent you are or yeah wow yeah wait by the way i gotta say my one second every day you twice saying i'm gonna do backflip I haven't seen that yet Oh, it's great, it's great So, okay, Nikki Haley And people
Starting point is 00:20:17 Also remember when God, who was it? I can't remember what his fucking name was That boring guy from Ohio In 2016, he was like The last guy who stayed in the Republican primary Cajit, John Cacic Oh, yeah, sure
Starting point is 00:20:32 And people were just like I like that guy Because he wasn't Trump And I think people are really, I don't know obviously he's got his insane base that will he'll never lose yeah but i think he's shed a lot of the people i think people are tired of it honestly i think he shed a lot of the we'll see he's obviously very popular and the frontrunner but um i don't know wouldn't it be a fun miracle if both trump and biden died fell down some stairs yeah that would be a fun miracle that would make i think
Starting point is 00:21:05 2020. That could single handedly unite the country. But I do think there's also something funny about our first female president just being like an awful racist and bigot. I think that's kind of cool. And we deserve that. Yeah, that is true. America does deserve that. I think it would be cool to get...
Starting point is 00:21:21 We'll give you a female president, but she's going to be anti-abortion. She's going to be my anti-abortion. Yeah. Get it? We should get Joe Biden and Donald Trump to ride in school buses and do one of those figure eight school bus
Starting point is 00:21:41 destruction races. You know what I'm talking about? Nope. You know a destruction derby, right? There's these races where they have a figure eight. Do you call them destruction derbies or was that a mistake? What did I call it? Destruction Derby?
Starting point is 00:21:55 Yeah. Fuck. Demolition derby is what I meant to say. Where they have school buses riding in figure eights and then they're going like 60 miles an hour. I'm just saying it'd be really cool to see Donald Trump and Joe Biden get taken out that way.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Yeah. That'd be fucking awesome. Anyway, okay, I'm still talking stocks here. So here's my next prediction. I think Chinese, by the way, this is not at all advice, obviously. But I think China stocks
Starting point is 00:22:21 are going to have a good year because they've had a, they've been hated for a while. And I think that this could be the year that they'll have a good one. Speaking of China, Xi Jinping just said in a speech that China is on the right track, but their economic growth is projected
Starting point is 00:22:40 to slow down a little bit. Do you know what else he said? Well, he was talking, what else did you say? He wants to reunify. Yes, that's the next thing I was going to say. Well, hang on. So he was talking about how they've been progressing with EV production, batteries, solar panel production, and they even had the made-in-flight of the first Chinese-made passenger plane.
Starting point is 00:23:04 the C-919 last May. How does that make you feel? I honestly, I'm not sure. I would fly on one, I think. But yeah, speaking of reuniting, Taiwan elections are this month. And the frontrunner is a democratic, progressive candidate. And if he wins, I think it could push Xi Jinping
Starting point is 00:23:32 to the point where he's, He's got a kind of, it's kind of putting him in a make or break position. He already said he wants to reunify. Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, he's been saying, but I think. He's like, it's going to happen. Yeah, because they see this guy lie, lie, like, Li Xing. No, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Lai Ching Tay. Like, you know, I would say shing, but it's spelled Qing. And shing would imply having an X. Man, I can't wait until they do that universal. translator thing. Oh man. I can't wait to get the ear. I'm talking all kinds of languages.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Oh man, I'd be hammering out Mandarin all the time. I just think it'd be so fun to hear me just spouting off. I'd speak a lot of Portuguese. Yeah? Me, it'd be all. I like that. I like that country. It was like,
Starting point is 00:24:21 let's do Spanish, but fucked up. That is true. Portuguese sounds like you're drunk trying to speak Spanish. Right. Yeah. I just love Mandarin, man. It's just, it's so many fun sounds. So many fun, interesting sounds.
Starting point is 00:24:34 I love that, sure, when you, when you get that one in there, it's so unexpected. I'm not exposed to as much Mandarin as you, I think. Oh, man, you got to watch more, um, what do I got to watch? What, what, what was I watching? What is he watching, everyone? There was a lot of, uh, Jackie, it wasn't Jackie Chan movies. Oh, I can't remember. Oh, got, no, that's Japanese. Did you like that plane in Godzilla?
Starting point is 00:24:59 That what? That plane and Godzilla? Uh, yeah, yeah, it was a little, I don't, I'm like those rear wing. I feel like I'm like an uncle at Christmas trying to connect with my nephew and I'm like just striking out. Did you like that plane in Goods? You see that plane in Godzilla?
Starting point is 00:25:16 It was fine. And he's just like, shut up. It was fine, I guess. It's kind of cool. But. Very agile plane. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:25 I'm not in the comments if you like that plane. I guess. Yeah. I'm not into the rear propeller. But that's cool. You don't see something like that every once in a while. I guess. But it just looks like, it looks like a guy made it.
Starting point is 00:25:34 in his garage. That's what's cool about it. Well, so I think that that Lai Ching-Tay is going to win, and yeah, we're going to see some Taiwan escalations. Great. That's what we need. More global conflict escalations.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Yeah, escalate it, baby. Escalate all of them. Yeah. Take the escalator up and the elevator down. What's your next one? Give me some more stock stuff. Okay. I think Tesla's stock price is finally going to face a little bit of reality, even though I've predicted that a few times.
Starting point is 00:26:04 And have had... Yeah, Ben, no matter how many times you say, it doesn't make it true. Yeah, I keep getting egg all over my face. I keep getting egg there. There's egg everywhere. It's me with Bitcoin. It's me driving into Tesla, and I've got all these eggs in the... You know what I think we need to do?
Starting point is 00:26:18 What? Maybe I should just buy into Bitcoin and you should buy into Tesla, and then we could just shut up and become... Maximilist? Yeah, just be happy. Or maybe that would be the thing that causes us to... We cause it to find the crash. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:26:32 That's literally every time I'm about to do it, I'm like, this is when it tanks. But when the people like me are like, fine, I'll do it. What pisses me off of, yeah, when you finally capitulate, what pisses me off about Tesla and the entire market is that it just feels increasingly propped up. There was some analyst, I think, over the last couple weeks who gave it a big upgrade, gave the stock an upgrade based on the projected potential, uh, future. Revenues of their robots. Oh, those little weird guys. Yeah, those little weird guys.
Starting point is 00:27:12 They're like, oh, yeah, so those robots, they got a total addressable market of like $30 trillion. You saw those robots? But it's just more like, oh, yeah, this new thing that Elon promised is going to maybe happen in the next five years. Based on that, we're now upgrading the stock. And it's just, it's been happening for years, and it pisses me off. Yeah, but the robots aren't woke.
Starting point is 00:27:34 so that's true they aren't yeah that's true they have genders like just male or female they get pieces and shit they'll say all the bad words they'll do whatever you want they got robusties yeah i wish i had one here uh yeah i'd say go ahead say the word the the slur i'd let him pick he'd let the tesler robot pick the slur yeah yeah to save the world um so what what's your next prediction give it to me well this one's going to be answered very soon okay everyone's taking bets on the epstein flight logs being on sale yeah but isn't that just a nothing taco you mean nothing burger yeah but no we got to get with the times man there's there's nothing taco okay but go on what about these are real i think uh i think
Starting point is 00:28:29 Andrew Cuomo, but also Chris Cuomo, his weird brother, are going to be in there? Lauren Michaels. I think we're going to either get Nancy Pelosi, R.G.B, or Diane Feinstein on there? I can see those. Pete Davidson's dad. No. He's dead.
Starting point is 00:28:49 He's been dead, man. But he was alive during... Yeah, but he wasn't famous. Is this a... Oh, it's... Oh, God. Jesus Christ. Oh, man. Fuck. fuck go on dude you thought i thought no no the last one was just larry david oh oh wow well see that's the
Starting point is 00:29:07 thing because there is obviously geoffrey epstein was a um i'm putting this in major air quotes yeah i mean obviously gentlemen consummate gentleman but i mean he was a he was a philanthropist like in it legally he did a lot of objectively there was a lot of like charity work that was probably obviously vehicles for I don't know money laundering and all sorts of nebulous shit but a lot of those started charity I'm doing fucked up shit with the money there you have it folks you heard it here for first so so I think that there's something to be said for the fact that a lot of these wealthy people may have been fucking with Jeffrey Epstein for those charitable reasons or just like being wooed by him to
Starting point is 00:30:08 try to get, uh, because he was out, he managed people's money too. So he's probably trying to get their money. And also, you heard what, Pete Davidson's dad was trying to get his money. No, no. Move to Epstein's account. He was, uh, he was down there consulting on the structural integrity of the buildings on Little St. James Island, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Yeah. Which at that time, we didn't know. Yeah, nobody knew about... Except for the people who... Yeah, and also that Pete Davidson's dad maybe didn't know that much about the structural integrity of buildings. I mean, that might be why they got him
Starting point is 00:30:43 because he was going to be... I heard that he was going to be a big whistleblower. He was going to talk. So they did 9-11 around... Mm-hmm. No one's talking about the Epstein 9-11 conspiracies. No.
Starting point is 00:30:52 but I think I think that a lot of people are going to be unfairly guilty by association unfairly guilty by association well because like just because you flew on the guy's plane doesn't mean you diddled kids sure
Starting point is 00:31:07 but pretty much everyone's around in this guy was involved in sure but like do I think Bill Gates did yes I don't know actually he seems too he just seems non-sexual to me he tried to suck me off at a party in the Hollywood Hills
Starting point is 00:31:23 way. No way. What do you say? Emil, have you ever used Windows XP? How about Windows me? This is bad. That's what he did? He's trying to talk to you about operatives. Why don't you come in here and tell me to stop? And then I did, and he did the chair jumping thing. I said, that's enough for me. Chair jumping thing. Oh, where he jumps up over the chair? Yeah. See, that's what he's That's what I imagine he was like behind closed doors when he's getting a massage.
Starting point is 00:31:53 He's like, you want to see me jump over the massage chair? And the girl's like, huh? Jeffries, I'm supposed to jack you off. And he gets up. No, just watch this. No, just watch this. But he gets up and he is fully hard. He's fully erect.
Starting point is 00:32:06 God, can you imagine jumping over a chair with just a rock hard dick? Are you tough? Or running? Running with a full. rock car dick you know i think about that sometimes i'm like imagine running bare naked it like full sprint bare naked yeah wouldn't it be but naked butt naked fuck bear naked works but imagine running it is a miracle of nature that you wouldn't just get all twisted up i mean think about those poor greeks back in the day the first olympics just fully naked
Starting point is 00:32:49 Yeah, whipping her brown. I saw this little dog. Maybe they would tie him back or something. Yeah, maybe, actually, like a ponytail. I saw this little dog walking yesterday. He was trotting along. He was probably a doxin mix, long hair. This dog's penis was proportionate to his body would be like if I had an arm for a penis.
Starting point is 00:33:10 And it was just swinging back and forth. It was crazy. Anyway, both me and my girlfriends clocked it, and we both simultaneously. we're like laughing what kind of dog are we talking it was a little doxin mix coxened it was a coxened mix okay we're getting too far into the weeds with dog penises once again typical of us but uh so the other stock news i think i i well now we're getting into like the ai stuff but i think we're going to continue to have big breakthroughs in in in i mean we do every fucking year but in in biotech i mean we just had the sickle cell
Starting point is 00:33:47 anemia kind of like not cure but there's a big treatment for it thanks to crisper technology remember that crisper oh the gene editing thing what you were going to make a joke about like a vegetable crisper right yeah that's pretty good though i didn't even get it out but i i just know and then moderna is making significant strides with their cancer vaccines i'm surprised everyone's not dropping everything they're doing and making uh more skinny uh injections Skinny injections? Ozympics. Ozempic?
Starting point is 00:34:19 Well. No. Novor Nordisk or whatever. Oh, dude. I mean, they're on such a tear that there's... We govies. You're Mungarees. Mujaro.
Starting point is 00:34:31 Mungaro. Mungaro. Yeah. What's your next prediction? Your turn. More gay sex scandals at the Capitol. Are you serious? More of them?
Starting point is 00:34:40 I think there's going to be more. I think... Who, Lindsay Graham? Yeah, I think there will be big names. Who turn out to be. be gay or who turned out to have gay sex at the capital huh interesting do you got another give me another another gay sex capital no just another another another thing oh i think um i think justin trude's going to come back in a big way doing blackface okay so i took the assignment
Starting point is 00:35:06 seriously but i like this so you think he's going to come out and say i actually think that Elon Musk is similarly, I think he's going to finally tweet, I think he's going to tweet the R word. I think he's going to say, retard. I think he's going to, I think he's going to tweet it. And then he's going to be like,
Starting point is 00:35:27 what? I'm just going to make that fucking what is that face? There's a word for it, right? It's not like soy face, but it's that it's that, it's that it's that like 2010
Starting point is 00:35:44 um milady gamer face oh yeah neck beard yeah it's like a neck beardy type face I feel like uh these are serious predictions predictions for me yeah so you think that is it going to be for black history month
Starting point is 00:36:03 no I think he's just gonna be like he's gonna know he's gonna know he clearly has a deep love for it for black face yeah yeah and I think he was not allowed to do it for a long time And he's like, I see the way the tide is turning, and I'm just going to, I want to be myself. Okay. All right. I think, yeah. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:36:28 And I think there's going to be a lot of gay sex stuff coming out of the Capitol. Okay. So gay sex out of the Capitol and Justin Trudeau is going to be wearing blackface. And Elon Musk tweeting, I think he's going to tweet Usler. I think he's going to say. some kind of slur. I mean, at this point, I'm surprised he hasn't, because it'd be so triggering. Also, if Pete Davidson's dad ends up on those flight logs.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Oh, I would, I would, I would, I don't know what I would do. I'd start, I'd start freaking out about Justin, I'd, because it would mean that all your other things are going to come true. It's like the worst parlay in history. Oh, shoot. I was going to say, oh, whatever. My brain's just, you know, my brain is just limping along these days. Honestly, you say, since we've started any iteration of this show, you've said it with some certain frequency.
Starting point is 00:37:26 It was maybe like once every. That my brain is? Yeah, they'd reference the worms and whatnot. Yeah, I haven't talked about the worms in a while. But you say it with more frequency now. I'm getting worried about your brain. No, I'm okay. Brain, it's good.
Starting point is 00:37:40 well so winter brain yeah that's true i honestly feel like i have a bit of winter brain but that's true but i didn't say destruction derby i think it's because i had a playstation game in the early 2000s called destruction derby and it was really cool and i fucking loved that game we called that twisted metal in new i played twisted metal as well hmm any who i think that there's going to be got the kirkland version Kirkland's destruction derby. Kirkland's a great, a great brand.
Starting point is 00:38:16 I think, speaking of driving, I think there's going to be, I don't, I'm not happy to say this. I think that there's going to be a lot more advances in self-driving, but I also don't think that there's going to be a single winner. I don't think Tesla's going to be the big winner. I think with how far Waymo's coming. I mean, Tesla, they've been talking about how you're going to have armies of, or entire fleets of self-driving fuck Tesla. Dude, self-driving, fucker Tesla's.
Starting point is 00:38:42 But you know who's already got the self-driving fleet? Waymo. Dude, literally was just in San Francisco over the holidays. They're everywhere all over. Yeah, they're everywhere all over here. Here? Yeah, you haven't seen them around L.A. I don't think I've ever seen Waymo in L.A.
Starting point is 00:38:56 On the west side? Didn't we see them at the Grove? Yeah, we saw one from the rooftop. Yeah. Yeah, I see Waymos all the time. Wow. Everywhere. I've seen a couple.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Why did they pick Jaguars? I don't know. It's a good question. Why not pick like a cheap Maybe they had it Well because Jaguar is a A fancy luxury brand Maybe it was just they
Starting point is 00:39:17 True I guess you're trying to Because their goal is to get people to ride in that Yeah you don't want to be seen But you can get a freaking kidded out Toyota Corolla Kid it out? Oh like a yeah A Corolla
Starting point is 00:39:28 What's their high-end car? Lexus Oh Sure Lexuses are so expensive Or like a high-end So is a Jaguar I know that's what
Starting point is 00:39:39 I'm saying. Get a cheap car. Oh, like a Toyota? See, my brain still works. Give me your next prediction. What is this going to be? Oh, God. No, this one's real. I want to try to guess what it could be. President Biden's going to shit himself.
Starting point is 00:39:59 No. Come on. See, those are bad. These are good predictions. Yeah, give me one. I think Melania is divorcing Trump. Wow. And this is the real prediction. I think she's going to become some kind of Truther?
Starting point is 00:40:14 No. I think she's going to be some, she's going to have a second half of her career as a feminist icon for brain dead liberals. Oh, I couldn't disagree more. I totally disagree. She doesn't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:40:30 She's such a private, there's no thought going on between those eyes. Wow. You see the way he talks about her? Man, awful. She wore that fucking dress or whatever. that said, do you think I give a shit? Yeah, because he was with Trump.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Yeah, but I think even when you're with Trump, you don't have to wear shit like that. He makes you do that. No, I told you the stuff he made me do. Come on. I went to his golf course in New Jersey. Yeah? What did you do? You think I care?
Starting point is 00:41:00 What about you? He made me wear that jacket. Is that what it said? You think I care? What about you? I don't remember. All right. My next prediction is I think that AI kinks are going to start getting ironed out.
Starting point is 00:41:15 And there are some problems that I think for the next couple years. You didn't pick any funny predictions. Let's see. No. No, I didn't. I took it more seriously. But I think that's good. I mean, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Anyway, I read about this guy who, who, this dude on Amazon, or on Twitter said that he bought, he was interested, or his kid was interested in raising tarantulas or something. So he bought a book on Amazon that was like, how to, how to care for tarantulas, gets the book and starts to see that there's a lot of repetitive stuff in there and a lot of pages that some, some just didn't even make sense. It was clear that it had been one of those, yeah, like drop ship guys who had told AI to like write a book on how to care for tarantulas and then mass produced it or got it to where
Starting point is 00:42:13 they could just be printed on demand and there's no I think we're going to start seeing a lot more implementation of not stopgaps not the right word but stop gaps for things like that to prevent the abuse of AI yeah right that shit's going to be rampant in 2024 that's what I I think that there is going to be a lot more because that's going to be bad for business. Eventually, if you start to flood the market with knowingly bad products, people are going to catch on and wise up to it. Amazon's been doing it for years. True.
Starting point is 00:42:50 True. Yeah, but I got to say, the process to return things and get refunds, seamless. It is just, it has never been easier to get a refund and shit. Sure, but, like, that's, no one... Sure. No one's going to care. Also, fucking... Chat GPT and Dali cannot fucking spell, and it's driving nuts.
Starting point is 00:43:15 I've been trying to make... I want to show you this. I've been trying to make chat GPT. I wanted... I just wanted to post a dumb joke to, uh... To Twitter. On your behalf? What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:43:27 You wanted it to... You want... I wanted to post a bumper sticker. I wanted to... I just wanted to tweet... made a bumper sticker for guys who drive big trucks who have big dicks. And I just wanted the bumper sticker to say,
Starting point is 00:43:44 not compensating for anything. Stupid, bad joke. But I was like, just do it. And it can't fucking do it. Not commip-in-gating for anything. And literally I was spending an app, and they'd go, I did it. And I go, no, no, no, it's so close.
Starting point is 00:44:00 I wanted to look like this, but just spell compensating right. And then they're like, like this? Not companated anything. You got to send these two. You really can't spell. And then I was like, is it because it's bumper sticker format? Oh, wait.
Starting point is 00:44:14 Yeah. Because I was like making a cartoon and not componating for anything. I'm like, dude, you're right there. It can't get compensating. It's getting every other word. Not compensating. I'm shocked to spell at all. It couldn't spell.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Last time I used any of those. It just couldn't spell. All language just looked like some. made up yeah yeah wow i have a large personality i said i said can you make me a bumper sticker that says i have a large penis i'm like maybe we just make it easier to spell and it says i have a large tersinally this one says i have a large personality yeah wow well i think that uh in a few months if not weeks that'll be fixed because i think we're going to start to accelerate a lot quicker. And I think that we're entering in, like, the application era,
Starting point is 00:45:07 similarly to how the advent of internet browsers really ushered in, like, growth of the internet in an actual applicable way that was, that was actually measurably different for people's everyday lives. I think we're entering into a kind of thing like that with AI. And that's where it ties back to the Y2K kind of thing. Because I know that we've kind of had dumerish takes about it. And I think that there is, I'd like to replace my mental model of the AI with mostly optimism and cautious optimism with a space for like, yeah, and we've got to be really
Starting point is 00:45:56 careful about all the bad shit that can that can happen and which leads me to i think that we're going to have um like with this micros with this uh new york times suing uh chat gp or suing open a i we're going to have a lot of uh there's just going to be years of like litigation trying to hammer out how these business models are going to work how people are going to be fairly compensated if at all i mean dude by the time any of that gets sorted out it's all going to too late. It could be, or we might end up having one of those things where in a few years, it's like, you're entitled to a couple dollars in compensation.
Starting point is 00:46:35 And opening that's going to be like, oh, well, okay, we'll pay everyone a little bit. But now we've got everyone literally paying us $20 a month or they'll raise the prices. Speaking of prices, you know. Because, I mean, why not? Especially, like, if they figure this out, I mean, just for, if they can make it so that everything is spelled correctly and stuff. So you can just say penis and a bumper stuff? or graphic?
Starting point is 00:46:57 No, all I needed was to say compensating. Yeah, yeah. But pretty much like every graphic designer will be out of job if I can just sit here and have it design posters for me and stuff and all that kind of stuff. Yeah. And then if they can get that, they just get that into other forms and now all of a sudden you're doing like video editing by just telling it what to clip out and stuff.
Starting point is 00:47:25 But I think that that's actually, that's my final, one of my last predictions is I do think that we're going to have, I think that we're going to have a movement, a more, a lot more people yearning for analog experiences and printing things out to read them and getting away from their phones and getting away. I see people make that prediction literally every year of like, in 2022, people are going to want a more. analog experience and I think people do crave it and when they find it they enjoy it but it's just too difficult but I and I agree but I think that also just in the vein of like graphic designers for example I think that I think that they're going to be able to coexist side by side with this I think that there's a lot of like you have to but you're you're asking people to pay more for something that like someone was showing me um flyers they made for their show
Starting point is 00:48:27 like they know a little bit of Photoshop so they could do all the text and everything but then they were just having Dolly or Mid Journey do the images they wanted and I was like these look great it's got it's come so far that it looks incredible and then they're just filling in
Starting point is 00:48:42 whatever needs to be filled in so it's like why is he now going to seek out someone would he have sought out someone yeah oh shit interesting yeah I don't know I just don't think that, I mean, this is kind of a hard thread to connect, but in as much as leading up to Y2K, people thought that it was going to be outright mayhem and destruction and stuff.
Starting point is 00:49:06 I think that people similarly calling for AI bringing about that kind of upheaval and change that's going to be just like destructive and disruptive. I don't think that that's going to be the case. I think that we're going to figure out ways for, I don't think that designers and stuff are going to be out of work. I think that it might be something that works in tandem with AI, where maybe I'd be more inclined to hire someone who's talented at getting that kind of thing out of AI. Because like, I don't, I still don't even fuck with it. I'm like, oh, whatever. I don't know. I don't know how to use it. I don't trust that this is the right thing or the most updated version I think that there's people are going to figure out
Starting point is 00:49:56 people are people are a lot more resilient and resourceful than I think they give themselves than we give ourselves credit for was that a was that a coherent cogent thought sure fuck me I kind of disagree but like I think we're going to start seeing
Starting point is 00:50:14 certain industries get shaken up yeah and jobs get phased out and yeah I mean I read a thing that I mean dude just I mean, outside of, like, graphic design, when we were laughing about, it was either last episode or the episode before, we were laughing about the fucking
Starting point is 00:50:31 daily, what was that fucking conservative website? Daily. Daily wire? Daily caller. And we were like, oh, this is so clearly, like, uh, AI generated articles. Oh, yeah. And they're, like, they have a whole.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Sydney, Sweeney's busty, busty Wednesday. Like, and so, I mean, you've seen that with BuzzFeed being like we're going to do fucking AI content creation so you're just going to see people companies be like it doesn't make sense for us to support these careers anymore and like the Daily Call is a bad example because like who cares if that goes away but like all of these small websites that used to support
Starting point is 00:51:16 small journalists and writers and stuff are just like they're just like fuck it just turn on the AI machine and Yeah, they might be the kind of coal miners of the modern era. And then just pump it fill of content so we could sell ads on it. Sure. And everything you click is just going to like, there's going to be ads all over it. But I think that people will wise up quickly and see that like, oh, this smacks of just AI and lose interest and then not click in the future. I think that there's going to be, I think that the pendulum can, I mean, it probably will be that first.
Starting point is 00:51:48 But I think that the pendulum eventually will swing back and people will crave. the real human touch like only a human can do I mean you can crave it and want it and I think it's the way everyone is like I crave it I mean the amount just like at over the holidays the amount of people who have said
Starting point is 00:52:05 some either in 2024 I want to spend less time on my phone or I want to read more or both of those things it's like so many people said that to me and it's like everyone wants to do it no one wants to be like addicted to this awful thing that like
Starting point is 00:52:22 everyone admits makes them unhappy, but it's just like, we're just conditioned and it's so hard to stop, and we all just want, like, quick dopamine fix. You know what's crazy is, just based on the price of memory in the 1970s, eight kilobytes cost about $300, and I did the math.
Starting point is 00:52:42 That would make the amount of memory in your iPhone amount to about $10 billion. We're rich. Isn't that insane? You got $10 billion. If you'd waltz up to some 1970s slub, a caveman, if you will, and said, hey, bitch, nice 8 kilobytes. I got 256 gigs in this thing. He'd go, you're a billionaire.
Starting point is 00:53:07 You're the richest man in the world. Because at the time, you'd probably be, you'd be the richest person in the world just with that fucking phone, the value of that phone. And then you know what you could do right in front of them? Pour water on it. just destroy it just burn the money just be like I don't yeah oh well that too yeah wait this is a good business idea I think I'm going to try to um what I'm going to try to start in 2024 more expensive memory no cheap you just reminded me what uh do you think this is a good idea tell me time travel mm you didn't even let me finish forward or backward time travel
Starting point is 00:53:47 retirements, okay? What's our biggest problem? No one has enough money to retire, right? Every millennial is like, oh, then we're going to get to retire. But if you take your money, you freeze yourself. No, go back in time. You're so rich. God, where's Elon tweeting the R word
Starting point is 00:54:03 when you need them? At me? Yeah. I thought that you were going to do the smart thing, which would be to cryogenically freeze yourself and let your account grow in 100 years and then you wake up and you've got like a billion dollars, which would be worthless when you wake up. Yeah, your dog's going to die, but
Starting point is 00:54:23 But that billion dollars is worthless. It's so inflated. It won't be worthless. In the future, everyone's a billionaire. Well, then you fucking, then you enjoy it. Then you enjoy utopia. Oh, so you want to go back to... Honestly, this is perfect.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Oh, so you want to go back to when, like, you know, what era? I'm going to the 1970s. Okay, all right. So it's post-civil rights. Good for you. Yeah, and we're going to... You're choking on smog then.
Starting point is 00:54:51 You're contributing to global... You're going to cause a fuck... You're going to accidentally fuck your dad or something, dude. No, what you do is you become what you hate the most. Boomers. Oh, I thought you were going to say a 1970s guy. I just hate him. Yeah, that era did seem like it sucked.
Starting point is 00:55:08 It seemed great. Seemed awful to me. Smog, Reagan. Reagan was in the 80s. I mean, that's what I meant, but... The late 70s, hair, the big, the white guys with afros and, uh, bell bottoms. No. Inflation.
Starting point is 00:55:27 I think it'd be great. My money's going to go way further. I'm going to be so rich. Buy a house? Yeah. I don't care. Not like today where you're saying buy to a house. You can't afford it.
Starting point is 00:55:38 Very good. Yeah. Buy a house. I'll tell you what Elon would not tweet to that, too. Yeah. He'd like that. Yeah. Well, okay. So speaking to the, I don't even know what else. I think we're going to have, I think we're going to have big advances in nuclear energy, as we've already started to see. And I think people are getting wise to the fact that, because all those environmentalists from a few decades ago were really against nuclear power. Rightfully so, because it was, you know, we had three mile island. We had Chernobyl. And I think that, it's proven itself a lot more safe and reliable and economically beneficial than it is a detriment
Starting point is 00:56:26 versus the alternative. I just still can't get over how seriously you took this. I thought we were doing a fun episode. It's talking about nuclear energy. Oh, here's a, God, I got to piss so bad. Oh, I think my, do you have any more predictions, by the way? Because I got two more, two last ones. They're really good.
Starting point is 00:56:47 So stick around. Yeah, you're not going to like it, though. Give me. Taylor Swift's going to get canceled. You can't cancel Taylor Swift. Wait until you hear what she did. What'd she do? I don't know yet.
Starting point is 00:57:01 Hmm. I don't think, no. I don't think she's, I don't think that she's a bad enough person to get canceled. I don't think she's going to do anything wrong unless she, like, pisses on a homeless person. Holy shit. Did you guys hear what Taylor Swift did? Even though, well, the homeless person was like, on fire.
Starting point is 00:57:17 Oh. And she had no water and she was like, I really got to go. All right. That's my last one. Okay. This is a pretty good one. I think, you know what we haven't had in a while, actually? Speaking of celebrity, we haven't had a celebrity severely, um, injure themselves.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Like, like, what I'm talking about, Jeremy Renner? No, but I'm talking about like permanently. Jeremy Renner's not coming back from that. well like Christopher Reeve fell off the horse wheelchair man for the rest of his life which is terrible Stephen Hawking
Starting point is 00:57:54 That was an injury I know it wasn't But like it was a Also I wouldn't I would argue he wasn't really a celebrity Maybe not in your circles But me Among the intellectuals that I fuck with
Starting point is 00:58:08 He was bigger than Taylor Swift I mean I think that We will even though I've been optimistic and I am an optimist, I think that we're going to see a lot more bad stuff before we see good stuff, unfortunately. I think that we're going to continue to see degradation in society. I think that the fabric that holds us together is ripping apart at the seams,
Starting point is 00:58:37 and there's evidence of this by people, fuck what? No, it's just a really bleak, dower note. Yeah, yeah. But I think you're right. Well, actually, my last one... Let me just say the last thing. Well, because I think that social contracts are just null and void now. And people treat each other like shit.
Starting point is 00:58:55 Oh, now we're getting somewhere. I'm tired of seeing people just getting pissed off at other people. Like, hey, here's a bad example, but like, hey, could you be quiet? We're watching a movie. Shut the fuck up! It's funny because that kind of shit. When we did that Ben and Emile on, where we left in the... weird.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Oh, yeah, the amount of people who commented, like, who had gone through a similar thing where it's like, you just show up with like a, hey, do you mind blah, blah, blah, and they're like, what the fuck is going on? I think there's like a severe breakdown in people knowing how to be in public and share space. Yeah, I think, I think of when you, people in cars, how they're so quick to flip each other off. Like that kind of shit is just, what are you doing? There's
Starting point is 00:59:49 no need for that. You don't need to do that. That seems harmless. It's not. Compared to all the life. It's not. Because you could piss someone off. Sure. It's just, like, we need to be all about... Go ahead, do it. You want to say, like, love and unity? I'm not
Starting point is 01:00:05 going to say that. No. I'm not going to say that. What do we got to be about? I don't know. Just treating each other with more respect. I don't know. But also, it is concerning to me. I saw that reading comprehension levels are down.
Starting point is 01:00:24 Oh, dude, there was some, I think, it might have been like a tweet or on Reddit or something, probably both. But it had the, like, reading comprehension levels and illiteracy rates and stuff like that. Oh, yeah. Kids are dumber than ever because they're unteachable because they're insufferable. All they want to do. You know how girls only want to eat hot chip and lie? Yeah. Kids just want to play Fortnite and, like,
Starting point is 01:00:48 die. Dirk off and die. Yeah. They want a goon. Every kid is gooning. They don't. The goonies. Well, they're, oh, that's good.
Starting point is 01:00:58 Thanks. But there was also a threat of teachers being like, Gen Alpha is awful. Do not understand. Yeah. Like, if you're not around young kids right now, you cannot comprehend how. Awful.
Starting point is 01:01:10 Yeah. They're all watching Ryan open toys. Who? Ryan's World or something. Who? They all watch. Is that that kid? It's an unboxing videos for children.
Starting point is 01:01:18 He's a little kid. He opens toys. He's got toys at Target. And it's weird seeing the older teachers who are like, I've taught at this school for however long. There's always troublemakers, right? But like, they were saying also the drug use starting so early. They were like, you know, eighth grade freshman year. Yeah, we start to see some problems of, but now you're seeing like fourth, fifth grade, six.
Starting point is 01:01:45 And you're like, what the fuck is going on? These vapes, man. Really? Yeah. It's the candy. I'm going to, quote the term. Easier than ever. Easier than ever to sneak it.
Starting point is 01:01:55 When we were kids, it was like, God, the trouble we had to go through just to fucking smoke weed somewhere. Sometimes we had to. It was prohibitive. Did you guys ever do the booth where you have a paper towel roll and you stuff it with the fucking dryer sheets? It's impossible. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:12 Now you blow it out. It smells like blueberries. So that your mom. Mom's like, who's making BlueBah? No, it's just your kid getting high on plastic T.HC. It was like, what's next? Yeah. Yeah, now it's so easy to get anything you want.
Starting point is 01:02:30 Yeah, geez, Louise. Well, my last one is that TikTok shop will ruin the app. No, it already has. Why? Because, like, every other TikTok is now just, like, that robot voice being like, My girlfriend wore these shorts. Now I have a new child. Now I'm horny.
Starting point is 01:02:49 Because my girlfriend wear... And they're like $2 shorts on Timu or whatever. Shine or whatever the fuck. Shane? I don't know what it is. It's just got... Like, everybody's now shilling stuff on the TikTok shop. And it just makes it just...
Starting point is 01:03:04 I have to say Instagram kind of figured it out with the like seamless... It's just like a guy you follow. you click the button to see who's tagged and it's the product and you're like that thing is fucking who assigns the tag is the you can do it now so now when you post you can tag a product and you get a little commission or it could be your own fucking product i think we can like damn make merch tag it sell it right through the fucking shop damn dude wow that's pretty cool and it doesn't feel like like that where it's like jesus christ everything is just like mine it it yeah it feels very especially if you follow brands i
Starting point is 01:03:41 follow brands I like it's honestly killing me I'm like I need to unfollow but the algorithm already knows what I want so it's just like every time I try to like search someone it's just full of mine just puppies oh mine's adoptable dogs but they're in like fucking saskatoon mine's like the nicest puppy oh of course it's a poodle yeah you parents love poodle mine's just like the nicest pair of corduroys I've ever seen oh man my life will never be complete if I don't have them. That's like a 13-year-old me's dream. Corderoys?
Starting point is 01:04:15 Yeah. I loved corduroy pants. I thought they're the cool. They are. Yeah, mine's all just dogs that are adoptable in, in like, Oklahoma or New York or Sacramento. Like, show me the dogs that are adoptable here so that I can make comment that, man, I really want that dog. Because I just can't, I don't know. Anyway.
Starting point is 01:04:37 I think Google's going to buy YouTube. Google's going to buy YouTube? Yep. That's a good prediction. It happened, dude. I know it happened. A long time. I know.
Starting point is 01:04:45 I ruined my own shit. Mr. Beast in the flight log. Oh, that would be good one. It was like eight. I do predict that a... Yeah, we find out Mr. Beast has been problematic for a long time. No, I don't think he's problematic. I do think that...
Starting point is 01:05:01 I do think that's one of those outrage... Well, I guess it already kind of happened with one of those YouTubers who got shot in Texas. remember where he like was trying to make a funny video and it was a door dash driver and the driver just was like fuck this and just captained oh yes yeah and he got off proving that we all dislike being bothered in public that's why it's still so crazy to me that the jelk nelk boys they made a whole fucking uh media empire out of just like being annoying to people at Walmart.
Starting point is 01:05:42 We're going to do that. I hate that shit. I know where Mr. Beas got his name from. I found out. Where? He made it when he was young. Doesn't know why he made it and it stuck. He made it in like third grade.
Starting point is 01:05:55 He's like, I don't know, Mr. Beast, or whatever he first made a YouTube fan. He thought that it was cool as a kid. Oh, that makes so much sense. It's just fucking little kid shit. Yeah. God damn it. Yeah. Interesting.
Starting point is 01:06:06 Weird. I mean, but we were part of that generation where like, Did you try to do jackass shit when jackass? Oh, yeah, I have it. It's called Dumboo. I made one called Poo Blob. I have it. And it's on that family YouTube channel.
