As it's colloquial referred uh referred to yeah thanks for having me you guys hey thanks for being here blake how are you holding up after uh the philadelphia eagles you probably heard about this did lose in the super bowl it came across my radar and i am journaling and handling this in a very mature way. Just because they lost one game doesn't mean all the nice memories from along the way are invalidated. Yeah, the real Super Bowl ring is the friends we made along the way. I agree. And it's a ring of friendship.

And we're all holding hands around one holding call. Just because you lost doesn't mean you can't eat the poo-poo anyway. Yeah. I couldn't agree more. It's there. What, did horses go away just because we lost the Super Bowl? They're still around. They're still eating.

Exactly. We're still shitting on our streets, and someone has to do something about this. It's true. Clean it up. Losing the Super Bowl does not make the horse poo-poo any less delicious. I agree. Yeah. Or more delicious. Or more. Yes. Right. All right. the super bowl does not make the horse poo-poo any less delicious so i agree yeah or more all right blake matt we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna

tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about today uh we're gonna check in with what's going on over at twitter twitter.com if you've ever been to that website a gentleman by the name of elon musk recently purchased it epic bacon sir appears to be uh epic baconing sir the whole the whole damn thing hell yeah demanding that people juice his tweets or risk being fired is the word around the Twitter campfire. He's like that Twilight Zone episode with the little kid who's eating the chocolate sandwiches and he's sending people back out in the cornfield. Like he's just, he really gets to do what he wants.

Yeah, whatever he wants. And then additionally, he's using that status as owner of twitter.com to shadow ban the union that's trying to unionize in Buffalo, the Tesla union. Shocking. And then there's also just even more information, just more a real it's raining shit on Elon Musk portion of the news cycle that we are going to glory in. Yeah. Yeah. So we're going to glory in yeah yeah so we're gonna talk about that we're gonna

talk about there's there's another movie coming out that's about like a the birth of a popular brand or like a successful business thing because we talked last week or the week before about air the new movie not about michael jordan but about the invention of the air jordan where like the protagonist the heroes are like the people who are like this guy's good at basketball we should we should find a way to capitalize on that and make ourselves rich yeah directed by ben affleck yeah shut the fuck up yeah directed by Affleck, starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. And I was excited about that movie. What if,

but when the trailer came out, I was like, hell yeah, dude, I love air Jordans. And maybe there's a critique there too. Cause I feel like those guys are like on the low kind of not pieces of shit in a way. Like,

yeah, yeah, totally. Maybe there will be a, there there will be a there's gotta be there's gotta be there's a new one though about the not even the invention of tetris but like somebody going to russia to buy the rights to tetris this seems to be the story and like sounds like a radio lab yeah it really it does seem like a radio i'm sure it was a radio lab at some point and so we're just going to talk about this new trend where you know our greatest most respected most beloved americans aka brands and corporations are like the protagonists of our our films

like i mean like shakespeare wrote about the royals and these are our royals it's the logical conclusion of the system of capitalism we've set up here all hail the brand the nabisco movie the invention of the pillsbury doughboy exactly yeah just like some sweaty ad execs he was bred actually he was being yeah b-r-e-e-e-d thank you oh no can't wait for the future biopic of the brand executive who privatized the sun yeah you know exactly and then there's the new winnie the pooh horror movie that is out and apparently it's not good it's not good. It sucks. It's not good. It's surprising. Why would they do that? This is a new trend that seems to be happening because... People need IP and they need to also make a genre film.

Yeah, IP is coming off the books, baby. Mickey Mouse, if you've ever heard of that character, is coming off the books next year. Michelob, full name is Michelob Mouse. That is what we're all going to learn in the books next year. Michelob full name is Michelob Mouse, and that is what we're all going to learn in the new biopic. Yeah, MKUltra Mouse. Michelob Ultra is long for MKUltra. Yeah, so all of that, and that is MKU ultra uh michael of ultra does brainwash you and it'll fuck you up it's five calories so it's not but the calories are so low yeah yeah you'll be

thin while you are washing your brain jumping out of aka being thrown out of a new york hotel window a a it happens a little wormwood reference for everybody who caught that uh docu-series on hbo before we get to any of that shit blake yeah fuck it like that stuff all sounds fun but before we get to any of that bullshit if we get to it let's take a chance on this segment let's let's give it roll the dice that's's right. And ask you, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? I'm happy to test the format of this show with you right now. And right now, so I was searching brown boots, black outfit, because I was trying to match a pair of boots to an outfit. I was trying to match a pair of boots to an outfit.

And I've heard that there's rules about you can't wear black with blue or brown with black. And I was reading some fashion websites. And essentially, you can wear whatever the fuck you want. It really doesn't matter. Yeah, it turns out. Yeah, it turns out that if you have any self-esteem whatsoever, you can put on clothes and not Google. any self-esteem whatsoever you can put on clothes and not google what about those of us who don't who just need our shoes to exactly match our outfits because we i wear jean shoes with my jean pants smart that's smart any denim covered there are like denim jordans aren't there i have them yeah do you there is a pair of j, as we call them, the Lenos.

Yeah. Collab. I like to pretend they're a collab with Jay Leno. Mavis? But they're actually a collab between Levi's and Air Jordan. And they are, I like the way they look. They are heavy. You have jeans shoes?

They are the heaviest. Yeah, they're like a cream denim. Are they extra hot? They sound heavy. You have jean shoes? They are the heaviest. Yeah, they're like a cream denim. Are they extra hot? They sound hot. I don't know that I've noticed the temperature so much as the fact that they feel like they, if you've ever stepped in a puddle and your shoe is wet and lead know leaden feels very heavy like that's how heavy they are because denim is not a light thing and they really layered that shit on it's weird they make a basketball shoe yeah yeah you can't you can't stand on a basketball court with these shoes on there there will just be footprints in the in the hardwood it's so strange i love it

though they made it because they're like they are well we have to have brand synergy yeah they sound cool i like that they're cream colored that's that sounds like they would go with a lot as well you wouldn't run into this fucking problem that i have right now with my my brown ass boots yeah brown boots black outfit so you're're going to lack girls are time bomb. I thought that's what we were singing at first. I don't know what that was, but it sounded like your brain was misfiring. That was the song time bomb.

You don't know that. Huh? Oh, that's a great song. So are you, are you going with the impression of somebody who has a self-esteem and just doing brown boots black outfit no no no no i'm bailing on the whole fucking thing actually so i'm just gonna just not going to the

event yeah i'm not i'm not going i'm just not leaving my house yeah exactly i'm coming with options but yeah no it's gonna be uh so i'm getting ready to shoot my first special this week so i've been trying to pick out an outfit. Wow. Hell yeah. Thank you. And in Cincinnati, Ohio from February 23rd to 26th. But I'm like, I think I'm going to wear a brown boot, maroon pant, and a royal blue jacket is what I'll be wearing. And that's why you should tune in. It's for my outfit.

See how my fucking negligible body can you do a spin when you're while you're on stage just so people can see the full thing exactly so when i perform i make every venue in the round by i just i stand on a lazy susan and i don't even like that term that susan puts in a whole bunch of a lot of discriminatory against sus against Susan's. Yeah, I could not agree. And Sue really put... So I do spin in place throughout the entire thing. Nice. It's a six-minute set,

and I close vomiting on my boots. It's my big closer. Now they're cream color. Now they're... Because I drink milk. Straight milk. You're on that Mussolini diet, right? Just nothing but...

Milk-only, yeah. Yeah. Was he a milkhead? straight milk you've got you're on that mussolini diet right just nothing yeah yeah was he a milk head i think he was a super milk head and like wouldn't wouldn't imbibe anything that wasn't the color white if i if i'm not mistaken that's right you're telling me this guy was a fascist yeah weird yeah this mama's boy fascist yeah i might have been confusing him with a different fascist but i think that's a shame muslim did not indulge in his country's revered cuisine he rarely ate pasta or meat and called french food useless his favorite food was a salad made of raw garlic and olive oil that is actually super italian and i feel like at first i was gonna be like is he even italian but he's's just eating straight garlic.

His wife thought it made him smell unbearable is how this little like Google paragraph ends. They're like, it really ruined his great personality. The stench of his garlic. People would have given him more of a shot if Mussolini just didn't eat raw garlic all day. It is funny how it's just sickos just in every aspect of their life are just a total fucking lunatic yeah this guy where yeah it's not like he ate a balanced breakfast that would that you could relate over of course this man ate raw garlic it's insane too because you're like thinking like you know i'm not gonna eat some fucking pasta and some pizza just because i'm an italian i'm just gonna eat these cloves yeah

straight cloves of garlic it's like come on man this feels racist against yourself yeah blake what is something that you think is under or overrated i don't give a shit which one you start with you don't fucking care shit which one you start with. You don't fucking care. Dealer's choice, man. I'm ready for it. For situations such as these, I'll go and it's heads,

which means overrated. Windbreakers, I think, is an overrated article of clothing. It sounds powerful as hell, the name that they went with. Windbreaker. It does. I bet Muzzalini they went with. Windbreaker. It does. I bet Muzzleini was a windbreaker if you catch my drift.

Yeah, a lot of wind. Windbreaker. Thank you. Sorry. Appreciate that. I have to go on here. No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I'm not there with you to laugh in person when you just did what you just did.

That's incredible. I love that shit. Wind breakers, the jacket, because it's a piece of clothing that kind of has not evolved with the times where there's no shape to it. It's an amorphous shape and they look like they're waterproof, which a rain jacket can often break the wind as well. But it actually has a function. Lots of things can break the wind as well but it actually has a function lots of things can break the wind thank you exactly so you could just wear a nice warm coat just the breaking of wind doesn't seem like it is important enough of a function to have that be the sole can't be a singular function i completely agree completely agree there's no because if here's the thing if the

wind isn't cold not a not a problem don't need a windbreaker you're just dealing with wind that's wind but if you are if you are in need of breaking the wind from your body you're usually also in need of some you know layering a little bit of a little bit of concrete more yeah yes so then you're just an extra layer where you could just consolidate into one layer of a warm coat yeah but you also do you're so mad right now i'm so angry you can also make the little swishy noises though that's what that's my favorite thing about a windbreaker is like doing the the arms you know no the no friction but it's like yeah it's nice to be the loudest walker possible yeah in a windbreaker in in the 90s when it was popular windbreakers you actually crime plummeted because you could just hear

now if you hear that sound you're're like, oh shit, Simbad's coming. He's the only guy. Still wind breaking. That's right. What is something you think is underrated, Blake? An early dinner, 6 p.m., 6.30, gives you options for the rest of the evening. If you would like to go to grab drinks afterwards, you'll still be home in time to hydrate and mitigate you know any hangover that could be possible the following day and i've sweat the bed if i eat too late and you wet the bed so i sweat with it let's let's let's throw a s-w-e-a-t there okay i heard what i heard i wet

the bed with sweat yeah i'm sure that's what it is. It's a different type of bed wetting, but it counts. It does count. It falls under the same stigma, unfortunately. But yeah, if I eat too late and now it gets earlier and earlier as I get older and older, after 8 p.m., it's a sweat fest. Wait. Hold on.

Go ahead. So you sweat. So you, you sweat the floor. Do you yield your time? Blake to Matt? Do you yield your time? Okay. You sweat the bed. If you eat too late, you know, for certain that that's the reason you're sweating the bed. Yeah. you know for certain that that's the reason you're sweating the bed yeah so i have luckily have had some time on my hands and have experimented with or kept track mentally of okay i ate at this time tonight and kept everything else the same in the same covers same pajama situation and every single time i eat early no no sweat whatsoever and

you're going to bed at the same time excuse me so you controlled for a lot of things but not for like what time you went to bed not for for the main thing? No, I did not control for that, but that's interesting. I'm wondering, and I'm not being combative here, I assure you, but I'm wondering, would that make a difference? I don't know. I don't know. I just figured since you were controlling for all those other things. No, I bet it would. Since I put all the work in, I might as well have completed it. You put so much work i that's a good question because if i went to bed later that would give me theoretically a earlier dinner does that make sense right exactly so that like if if that to me that would be the final factor where you're like you know if i eat two hours before

bed i will sweat if i eat four hours before bed i will not sweat that's interesting so it sounds like there's a little meat left on that uh experiment bone yeah yeah yeah come back to us on this is fascinating i i've also been wearing a lab coat to bed i think that might also be why i've been sweating so much yeah you're also wearing the rubber suit to bed on certain occasions you also controlled for the temperature in your bedroom, of course. That is correct. I'm sorry? Yeah. I wish on that one you were also.

I'm sorry. The temperature, I'm struggling trying to figure out how that's relevant. Yes, I mixed up Celsius and Fahrenheit on an alternating basis. Oh, man. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for

president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. These are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a US president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman.

The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you.

Yeah. When I was recording and all hell broke loose. All hell. Imagine like we're fighting when we're back with each other. We're doing slurs against mostly Italians. Yeah. I say Italians. It's specifically the people who work at Eataly. That's right.

The Italians. Yes. Yeah. All right. That's right. The Italians. The Italians. Yes. Yeah. All right. Twitter.com. Let's talk about it. It's a website. Great website.

Pretty big. And Elon Musk bought it. And earlier last week, there was a report claiming that Musk ordered Twitter engineers to rig the platform to, quote, juice his tweets or risk being fired there was some good texture in the story where he like brought these people to a meeting and was like why is this why am i not seeing the same engagement that i used to and they were essentially like i think people are fucking bored of you like you've dominated the conversation and aren't that interesting yeah and he was like well you're fired yeah you lack substance and you were just taking advantage of them and making their lives worse his test run of this new super boosting tech

was his tweet quote supporting the philadelphia e Eagles in the Super Bowl. That's fine. Now, Blake, this must have been huge for you. This was really big for me. And, you know, I was on, I loved Elon Musk before this. And then the fact that he was, you know, pandering to me and me alone with this tweet, I engaged with it.

I liked it. I retweeted it. I shared it. I texted it around. I thought it was a fine tweet. I printed it out. Ied it i shared it i texted it around i thought it was a fine tweet i printed it out i made it got a tattoo of it yeah i got a tat on my on my left plumper and yeah i'm still looking for a retail space on the right one it's he really he deleted it he deleted that tweet after they lost right Right. Isn't that, uh,

he doesn't, he, he just like, doesn't know who's, there's an artist who like had face blindness and like, I think Chuck close is his name. Okay. And like,

but so he used the fact that he was face blind to them, like paint people's faces, like, because he like understood it from a weird right he didn't understand faces so much that he like had to like break them down yeah like their component parts and i feel like elon musk purchasing twitter is like something like that where he seems to be like remarkably incapable of understanding like why people come to twitter right people like about tweets which is it's it's so funny because it's like bro no that is part of it it's like he just doesn't understand why like he needs to learn he needs to go inside the gears to see why biden voice i got all up in that pussy jack got a million fucking

retweets right he doesn't understand he's like i i don't understand this why why is that sitting there puzzling over it just staring at that tweet as it like gains likes and hearts just getting more and more just baffled and irritated yeah jack yeah was chuck close was that the name of the artist i think so and was that the one who is the gender neutral version of chuck closterman or am i thinking of something else no yeah i think you might be thinking of something else and okay i'm sorry i think it yeah it is it's chuck close he was an artist yeah he was a portrait artist who was face blind and like driven to get faces by not because he didn't understand them and was like fascinated by that and that's an interesting yeah that's an interesting angle he was great he

like worked at it as a craft his whole life and like his portraits are super interesting yeah elon musk does not like he just decided to buy a thing and kill it like his version of painting the portrait is to like stab people in the face to death yeah and like dissect it like until it's dead so anyways he came, said the quote source of the bogus platformer article is a disgruntled employee who had been on paid time off for months, had already accepted a job at Google and felt the need to poison the well on the way out. Twitter will be taking legal action against him. And the journalist said, this is completely completely false we stand by our reporting so also every twitter employee is disgruntled every former or current they're all disgruntled because they work

for this fucking idiot there's not a single grunt old employee in the entire like twitter office and it's like even the people like came in and like, yes, thank you, sir, for liberating us from the trans agenda. Like all those people are now just like, oh, this guy fucking sucks. Yeah, it's it's kind of great to see. And I also the more Twitter goes down and crashes, the more I'm just like, this is this is just fantastic. I actually I'm enjoying watching it burn because uh because it's like twitter is like an inherently bad place and it should it should go down in flames you know and i nothing makes me more like fills me with more scheidenfreude than someone who is actively trying to understand it

like ending up breaking the whole thing and uh he's going to pretend like it was his plan all along, but we all know it wasn't. Yeah. I wish he didn't break Twitter. Like I like to fail. I wish I did. I wish he didn't do this thing. Yeah.

You bought it. You break it. He thought that that was the, just the directions. He's going to tweet that when he sets this final servers on fire. You understand? The final tweet. Well, someone will tweet that and then he will steal that.

That's right. And pretend it's his own. Perfect. And then just glory in the fact that his followers are doing the crying laughing. The worst thing that he did, in my opinion, with regards to buying Twitter was create this the for you tab. with regards to buying Twitter was create this, the for you tab. The for you tab is probably one of the most insane ideas that he has had on here because it did he invent that? I thought I've had a for you tab for since before he, no, no, no, no, no. He had, there was, there used to just be one timeline and then it was just one feed and it was a mixture of people you follow and people

who retweet and and comment that you know the stuff that's trending has had a for you versus trending right exactly about though yeah yeah there was yeah there was one that was uh for you and there was one that was following so uh or sorry there is now one that's for you and one that's following and basically the entire purpose of the for you tab that he was that he created was so that he could just push a bunch of like libertarian podcaster voices that fucking suck yeah and just to just to like get people to see both sides uh you know the the uh you know uh intellectual diversity of of opinions you know like sometimes you want to hear both sides of the argument of like should trans people live right or like are jews people or do black lives matter like i need to know

what everyone's the other side of that debate exactly so anyways he's also using this in ways that are actually presumably fairly powerful such as tesla workers in buffalo who are launching a unionization effort have accused twitter of shadow banning the union twitter account of course because he has like given uh platform to so many right-wing libertarian voices being like, I've been shadow banned. Just cat turd over and over? Yeah, cat turd. They shadow ban me and I only get 200,000 likes instead of the 2 million that I deserve.

So it's frustrating that they've ruined that. But he appears to have legitimately shadow banned the union Twitter account in the, in the sense that it doesn't appear in Twitter search function. If you type out either the account's handle or display name, it's like, that, that is what a shadow. I mean, that's not a shadow ban so much as a, just that shit has been, that's a ban. Yeah. That's a ban. Yeah. That doesn't the daylight That's a ban. Yeah, that's a ban that doesn't give you the official notification.

There's no bigger bitch baby than a social media right-wing conservative person. Right. Because, bro, you're already like... That's already the engagement cheat code is your whack-ass opinions. Right.

You will see just any number of like the first time you've ever seen some person with a million followers and all all they do is like having an angry face and an american flag fucking you know emoji and they're just saying the same knee-jerk opinions that you'll find on any fucking like conservative website and they're fucking it's huge they're all huge and you're like this is already the cheat code you can't complain about engagement when you're already making the fucking easiest career decision you've ever made in your fucking life i just i can't stand it i wish i had no shame guys yeah oh i would go i would go for that fucking maga tit so hard suck all the milk out of it you're muzzling me the fuck out of that maga tit i know i hear you it's the most upsetting

sentence i've ever said i think i just took six years off my god damn i'm gonna die at 56 now you're definitely gonna be sweating tonight you had 63 in the crosshairs before i was really shooting for 63 and until i used muzzling need as a verb for a tit belonging to maga and sucking the milk out of it yeah that's 63 63 so specific is it's like a fuck you to paul mccartney specifically I'll never be 64. Also, he fired a bunch of the workers once they publicized that they were going to unionize barely 24 hours after declaring their intention to unionize. A bunch of them were fired, which is illegal. Yeah.

And then by Thursday, that number had grown to 37. They're just, yeah, doing wildly illegal shit. These are the sorts of things that the government needs to be able to step in on. But we spent the last hour entire lifetimes just thinking deregulation was a cool thing. And so all regulations are out the window when it comes to billionaires. And I'm sure he's going to find a way to for this to just be a nominal slap on the wrist that he doesn't have to worry about when it comes to how he conducts his business, which puts us in a very bad position as a civilization. I'm literally I will vote for any president who's like, if you're a dick and you're a billionaire, I'm just going to take your money. Yeah. I will vote for any president who just goes, I will nationalize your bank account.

Yeah. Nationalize the, and like, so the other thing, the other way that the news cycle was raining shit on Elon Musk was, of course, Tesla uh 360 000 tesla cars being recalled because the self-driving software was like killing everybody speed limits or travel through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable manner which i'm sorry you had to take your car back jack that sucks hey they're actually really cool. They have good design. The trunk's in the front. I don't understand why everyone's talking shit on these cars.

The trunk is in the fucking front. Sorry, do you understand how revolutionary that is? It's a front. The trunk is in the fucking front, dude. You go in the back, you'll find nothing. Traveling through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable manner is pretty yeah that's a red flag when it comes to when it comes to if that was one of the negative comments on an uber driver that i was about to get in the car with yeah like really cool like his car looks

cool unfortunately he has been known to travel through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable manner i'd be like that's a deal breaker ladies if i had a note for gary as a driver i'd prefer more predictability from him when in intersections yeah i like traveling through intersections uh and more lawfulness like i like that he's cool and kind of a bad boy but i do i do appreciate lawfulness when it comes to the approach and transit through an intersection it's the tax fraud he's committing when he's going through these intersections that i find to be so disconcerting. Yeah, no, the driving's fine, but he's torrenting movies.

And that is, if I'm not mistaken, unlawful. That's stealing money from the mouths of movie producers. That's right. That's fine. Artists. Private Calica, too, in some way. God damn right. Cool, timely ref, Jack. Sounded current to me.

That did just happen. Yeah. When you talk about nationalizing their wealth, like nationalize these fucking companies. Nobody, like we cannot have things that are as complicated as self-driving cars be in the hands of billionaires who already are telling you like, we don't follow the rules. We're a little bit of a bad boy when it comes to how we operate around here. And we are going to be like i i really think the time has come for a presidential

candidate to be like we got to nationalize this shit we got to nationalize the like facebook we got to nationalize like self-driving cars like if that's ever going to be a thing like you need to work with the government not against it to try and like hide your shit. Yeah. I mean, listen, I'm from a practical standpoint. Yeah, for sure. But I also will vote for a president who's just like out of spike. I am going to steal your money. Elon Musk specifically.

Yeah. I'm ready for that. Yeah. Yeah. I think the popular sentiment is there for that. Yeah. All right. It is now.

It is now. It is now. Thank you. Let's take another break and we'll talk about something else that the public sentiment is here for. The upcoming Tetris movie. Hell yeah. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.

And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

Taking better care of yourself is just a click away. And we're back. And the trailer for tetris just came out i had heard that they were making a

tetris movie i could not fathom what that was going to be the the long if i had to like guess that someone was like pitching a tetris movie my guess would be it's set in russia in 1989 okay and you know the obviously the fucking you know they're dealing with like the fall of communism is about to happen they know the soviet union is going to go down but then from the sky blocks slowly start coming down and they're like slowly at first yeah at first and then they're like oh shit momentum yeah we gotta find a perfect spot for them blocks yeah

that's my business and that's the cliffhanger yeah do they find them what was your favorite block in the Tetris universe because there's flat there's flat boy who is just a total flat boy is my favorite well flat boy was the most badass one because you always set your shit up for flat boy who is just a total flat boy is my favorite well flat boy was the most badass one because you always set your shit up for flat boy exactly if you can just get that

flat boy right in that what a feeling that to me that was the first time i fucked yeah yeah the sexual like undertones of this conversation are revealing a lot to me about like why i was so into flat boy yeah you put that flat boy like right in that crevice and you're like oh yeah the whole thing goes all at once yeah yeah yeah and that's like kind of how i've organized my life since then is like just like build up a bunch of shit and then like hope for a big payoff. Exactly. It all comes together at the last second. Oh, no, the flat boy didn't come. Just fucking waiting for that flat.

Just piles and piles of. Oh, no. Where's the flat boy? I need a flat boy. My whole professional career as well has been put backing myself into a corner and praying that something a one out of a million chance would happen will happen and so far not so good no flat boys many a washed up comedian is sitting on a park bench that they live on right now going i just never got a flat boy i just needed that flat someday my flat someday my flat boy will come so it sounds like

it has less in common with that pitch oh oh you just made i feel like that that was also kind of what they went with for like battleship i think they were like yeah okay so we got to do battleship let's aliens come and you got to like sync them by guessing with the with our battleships let's aliens come and you gotta like sink them by guessing with the with our battleships yeah that one was there's pixels that also have a swing in a mix yeah a swing in a mixed uh yeah some people liked it something so this is more this has more in common with argo and the new uh air jordan movie where it's like international intrigue. Ben Affleck's directing it. Well, Ben Affleck is directing

the Air Jordan invention movie and they wish Ben Affleck was directing this because it does feel like they were like, what if Argo where the stakes were Game Boy? Yeah. Instead of the freeing hostages, the stakes were

you get to play Tetris on the Game Boy. It's not about the Russian inventor of the game so much as it is about the Dutch video game designer who bought it and introduced it to Western audiences. He has to travel behind the Iron Curtain in order to

get Soviet Russia. Get the rights to their national anthem? Because isn't that their national anthem that's playing in the... I thought that was... I thought that was the Russian national anthem. I think it was. It might be. You can see that very easily.

Entirely possible. And then it starts speeding up as the blocks start falling faster. Which taught us to, you know, be wary. Stalin just got a gun to the audience faster. You'll never get a flat

boy. Yeah, actually the Russian version, there is no flat boys. Yeah. They're all equally sized yeah yeah but it's the story of like him basically licensing tetris seems to be the sounds fun yeah i like that i like contract law in every movie that i can it reminds me of this like analysis that malcolm gladwell my king but the only person who i go to when it comes to uh intellectual discourse yes

uh recommendation on private jets to take absolutely yeah he was on the low lead express flight logs but he did do he did do a story about like he he likes to read those ceo biographies and he's like when you actually look at how they tell the story it's like this heroic singular ceos heroes journey through like the heart of darkness to like everybody tells me can't do it and it's only his idea and like he you know triumphs over evil to increase shareholder value or whatever the fuck and like when you actually look at what they do it's just you know like a series of very mundane and predatory decisions that they make they find one thing that they can exploit and then exploit it over and over and over again until they're

billionaires it's just like very rote and mechanical and like uninteresting but they find ways like there's a whole section of your local bookstore that is these retconned stories that like turn the narrative of how this person built a unnatural immoral amount of wealth like it turned it into like a hero's journey and that's what this sounds like like the guy did have to go back like make friends with the inventor of tetris and you know get get interrogated by some soviet diplomats but in the end they were like we kind of like this guy we'll we'll let him have the have the rights because that's how business works and they're turning it into like this spy thriller where he like steals it you know jesus i imagine because there's sometimes there's a premise so

boring that you're like well if they're making it it's gotta be good right right you know what i mean because there's not the only thing that's holding it together at this point is the ip of tetris which they i mean maybe we live in that world now where that uh it alone is enough to sell the movie but i i can't imagine that it's not like really good like at least as a script like it's like oh no this is a fun thing because we're missing something we're missing because there's definitely something there there's no way it can't be that it sounds can't be as bad as it sounds right it sounds so boring dog i mean i would say that about like movies where the thing is getting made for with no ip attached but like this i feel like probably like there's been rumors of a tetris

movie for a number of years and like i i feel like the assignment came before the before this premise like they were like all right tetris is a thing that everybody cared about that like i've never been so aware that my brain was being rewired as i was like i don't know what it did to it but like when i would play tetris on the game boy and then like close my eyes eight hours later and i would see tetris i would see tetris and i would play tetris in my head and i'd be like this can't be healthy. I certainly have other thoughts. Like I hungry. Yeah.

Like the, it's that being on a boat and skiing are the only things that have ever like rewired things so much that like I close my eyes and I can't undo whatever that did to my brain. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's, but, but, but but the thing is is they're definitely taking multiple pitches you know they're taking a lot of pitches with this like okay tetris ip and so i imagine for them to choose the most boring sounding one that they're like oh no this is

this there's something there yeah yeah it feels like they're doing a clean sweep through my child like mario is coming out in a like six months then tetris it they're doing a clean sweep through my child like mario is coming out in a like six months then tetris it's just like a clean sweep through like the things that i cared about at age seven to eight you know yeah they're just coming through trying to think there's gonna be guns and roses weird al yankovic just had a movie that was yeah and that was big for me at that period what actor is gonna play crash bandicoot do you think that's the question is it giamatti yeah is he gonna take that too sorry what were you gonna say blake i don't i don't remember but i think it was oh no i do so i believe there was like maybe as a someone who wants to come off as intelligent and fails

almost unilaterally but i remember there was one movie i don't remember the name of it but it sounded so fucking boring and it won all these awards all every smart person was like this is a genius movie and ever since then i'm like i'm not going to be tricked again if a movie sounds boring it must be to what matt was saying it must be a brilliant film so i will not go out on a limb and say this will be bad because I can't be fooled again. I won't be publicly fooled about this,

but it's going to suck. Well, what's the movie you're referring to specifically? You know, what would make great podcasting is if I remember the name of it, but unfortunately... Do you remember? You don't even remember what happened in it?

Yeah. You just remember the sensation of being like,'s gonna be boring as shit was it the constant gardener because we've talked about this we've talked about the constant gardener sounds boring as shit but it's not at all about constantly gardening yeah it's not about somebody who just is really into gardening no it's it's about like uh what the fuck was that about there's like a pharmaceutical. UN stuff. Yeah.

Pharmaceutical. Intrigue's happening in Africa. It's in Africa somewhere. And there's this song that's like, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I knew we were going to end up with this story. Singing Kothbiro. That song fucking rules. Sing this song from Constant Gardner. I'm going to keep talking, but I want you to do that under me talking.

I think that's going to give kind of a fun, spiritualist vibe. I think the thing that I object to is the hero of this story is not like a person. It is just a lawyer story of capitalism as it happened. Like, I don't know. It's a bummer. bummer like it makes sense because we are in a country where the mainstream media treats the destruction of a 7-eleven front window as more serious than the like violence done to black bodies so like it makes sense to me that this is just like where they think our values are and maybe they're right but it's just i don know. Human stories used to be bigger than like story of how Tetris got licensed.

And yet, you know, if, if somebody told me that this, this ends up being really good, I wouldn't be shocked, I guess. Yeah. I mean, here's the thing. Brands is all we got now. Doug. Thank you. Like, thank you.

Wake up and smell the Folgers coffee, specifically. And or, blue bottle. Yeah. You know, because the brands, there are overlords.

The liberal blue bottle. Yeah. Liberal blue bottle. You know, like, the brands are, they are our overlords. They are our bosses. They are, they are. Our signifiers. They are our bosses.

They are our signifiers. There are signifiers? I drink black rifle coffee to let people know. Fuck yeah, brother. Exactly. To let people know I finish sentences or I respond to people finishing sentences by saying, fuck yeah, brother. Yeah, exactly. I mean, you know, it's your lifestyle. Everything is brands here. So, you know, it's a way, it's your lifestyle.

It's everything is brands here. So, you know, you got to get with it. Start, you know, brand, brand. You got to get brand brain. Brand brain. Brand brain. I got brand brain and I'm cool with brands now. That's right.

Another brand story. Brand brain. Feels like it's working from the same currency of like, what if people do think to branch? And by the way, we are recording this on Friday. So if important news has happened over the weekend.

Doesn't matter. Nothing's important. It's the same shit ever. Another spy balloon. Okay. Yeah. I also just realized we're off on Monday. So.

Oh man. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah. If we've missed a bunch, but we're talking on monday so oh man yeah sorry if yeah if we've missed a bunch but we're talking about this this is gonna be the great i don't really want to work anymore nobody wants to work and that is what we're talking about nobody wants to work anymore anymore thank you blake there's also the winnie the pooh horror movie that we talked about it was basically Winnie the Pooh's copyright lapsed after a hundred years after the first so they can so anyone it's

up for grabs it is but it's only the first book which only included Piglet and Winnie the Pooh no so no Tigger no Tigger it's it's seinfeld without kramer so yes okay tigger was kramer that's true yeah that's airtight yeah no red shirt because that was actually a disney addition to the branch so it was just butt naked what if it was a blue shirt yeah i mean could be but so basically a uk filmmaker who until recently worked for an electricity supplier full-time while making micro budget horror films on the side happened upon this idea and realized that the winnie the pooh copyright was gonna lapse made this movie it's called winnie the pooh blood and honey it is i'm okay with this actually apparently it's very bad it's apparently

not good well i mean people are saying it's amateurish sloppy and quote embarrassingly bad but this is who who's saying that yeah critics film critics or some shit but it depends which ones because at this point it like i wouldn't be surprised if all the like the ones that are like marvel the ones who are bought out basically yeah are just like disney told us to say it was bad right yeah yeah the same filmmakers are also working on horror takes on bambi and peter pan so it feels like this is the opposite side of the coin of like hero's journey where the hero is the acquisition of the rights to distribute tetris on game boy this is the opposite where it's like the ultimate violence that you can do in our like cultural mindscape is to make winnie the Pooh a real edgelord sick fuck. Yeah.

You know, like this is the ultimate meaning. Yeah. Winnie the shit. Yeah. We're not saying Pooh no more. We're using swears, dog. I feel like this is a bummer because like I think there could have been an interesting horror movie based on the fact that. based on the fact that, first of all,

each character in the Winnie the Pooh universe definitely represents a different mental imbalance. Sure, sure. So there's something interesting there. There's also... So Pooh is a glutton. Eeyore is depressed. Pooh just seems high. Eeyore suffers from depression.

Piglet definitely suffers from anxiety, like chronic anxiety. Like, chronic anxiety. Tigger is a tweaker. Yeah, or, you know, he's, like, just manic. ADHD. Oh, yeah, that's true. He's probably manic. Kramer.

So, Kramer. Yeah. And then there's also, like, the idea. So, I guess the premise of this is that Christopher Robin returns to the Hundred Acre hundred acre wood like as an adult and like poo and piglet have gone feral and like murdered all the other characters and like this idea of like children's imaginary imaginary friends and like the imagination of children like that like being abandoned like that that is examined to great effect in like Inside Out and Toy Story 3 and 4. Like the toys being abandoned, but never dying and just like existing perpetually at the bottom of like a landfill stuck in place.

Yeah. Is like dark and interesting and has been handled well. But this feels like they just like turned it into an exploitation film. It's like a few degrees away from just doing parody porn, which I think is fine. You never said anything else, yeah. Yeah, there's nothing wrong.

I'm great friends with people who make the best parody porn over at Wood Rocket. They did The Simpsons porn. They did, what did they do? Rugrats, which is a strange choice, but it wasn't, they weren't. That was hard to do. Yeah, hard to do, but I thought it was.

It was a high wire act. Right, but it was a brave choice. So, but, you know, so like making the, you know, lapsed IP, you know, horror film of child things seems like, okay, have you considered making a sketch? Right. Try that first. Do it it start with a sketch yeah how long does this have to be yeah you do get the sense that they were asking that as they set out to make this movie like how long does it like for a feature how how long are we talking here? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're talking 10 minutes? Yeah.

To get a distribution. So I'm going to start with a number, and you tell me if it's higher or lower. Six? Seven? Eight? Okay. Well, surely it can't be nine? Not me.

Ten? Jesus Christ, 11? Kill my son, 12? We're going to be here all day. Oh, no. Kill my son. We're going to be here all day. Oh, no.
