Was there something about plugging something in and getting warm where were you running on a uh will provide electric blankets during energy independence perhaps platform uh you know this was a peak bring it on influence area era where we were you know i I would say bringing on walks so the mean girls, sexy

Santa dance could run. We really were just, you know, making up cheers, thinking that cheerleaders of sports were out there saying things like water, it's getting hotter. Like that's poetic. You're bringing a little bit more, a little bit more than the typical cheerleader of sports. What were you going to bring up about the Linda Lookit discourse? I was just going to ask, can somebody please catch up with that young man? Is that Rosalia? Are you talking about Linda the Rosalia song? No, no, no.

Remember that viral video from 2014 of that little boy who's like, Linda, honey, Linda, no, Linda, lookit. No, Linda, when he's talking to his own mom. I don't remember that, Of that little boy. Who's like Linda honey. Linda no. Linda look it. No Linda. When he's like talking to his own mom. I don't remember that. But that's hilarious. I remember. When you said Linda viral video.

I thought. Do you remember Aisha? Like. The song by. Aisha. This is like. Aisha. Yeah.

Another bad creation. This is like early YouTube days. Oh okay. No. This is this guy. Who is this like guy. Teenage boy. In his room.

And he just sings i think i want to say as an adult i think it was a joke but as a kid we were like this guy is a fucking nerd but i think he meant to be funny he's like singing the song he's like she moves she moves and then the text popped it like how aisha aisha you guys gotta look it up you'll know what i'm sure if i look i feel like if we both watched those videos, you'd remember little Mateo, Linda, look it, honey. And I would probably remember this one. But this is that little...

Here, let me just give you the audio. This is going to be the main subject of our podcast going forward. Okay, why is this... Why am I getting pre-rolls in front of the Linda, look it, child? There's a great song by Rosalia called Linda. And I thought you were like referencing that because it's like, it's a fun booty banger. Which one?

Is that on the new album? You know, want to wiggle your butt, put it on. It's called Linda, but it's just like really fast. Like, I can't speak Spanish. I've been really listening to the new album, Hazzy. Is it on that one or it's on the one before? Yeah, it is. I'm pretty sure it's on that one.

With the chicken teriyaki. It's got that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's on there? What's it called? Anyway, we'll look. Oh, here, okay. Here's, hold on.

This is a little boy. Okay, but I have to yell at you guys. Okay, Linda. Linda, listen, listen, listen. Listen, listen, Linda. Listen. Okay, but I have to yell at you guys. Okay, Linda. Linda, listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen, Linda.

Listen. Okay, what? Everything that you wrote at this house, you can't trust everything at grandma's house. Okay. Okay, then what? It is so disrespectful. Okay, then what? It's because he's been listening to adults talk too much.

Listen to me. You're not listening to me. I asked you not to do something. Linda, but listen to me. Look it. If you do something, if you get that thing off, you're going to break it. Okay, but I'm asking, I'm letting you know that you cannot. No, Linda, look it, look it. You're not listening to me. Listen to me now. Listen to me now. No, you're not listening.

Okay, does this not ring a bell at all? Oh my God. Okay, I don't think I've ever seen that, but watching that, I'm like, she's got to be just doing this for the video, right? Because at some point I'm'm like she's talking to him like she's trying to read or actually reason with him i know well because his body language is such of is that of like a dismissive 55 year old man who's like just like right what do i have to tell her again linda and but then it's like mixed in there are like little things that are appropriate to a three-year-old about being like you gotta get the thing off the thing like the thing he's worried about is uh doesn't make any sense she's she said this all happened because she had she was trying to have get him to eat dinner but he wanted to skip to dessert and so and she was trying to reason with him and

that's when he she's like okay i gotta just record this because he's not giving this up at all they say catching up with him now he was so what he's about he's probably like 11 now and yeah in this catch up with him last may they said he's great he's getting into martial arts okay yeah all right because i guess i was wondering like would he would his trajectory continue along that path and like well well bodily he may be a toddler in this video spiritually he is 55 like he is aging spiritually at like a incredibly rapid rate i was just wondering like if as an 11 year old, he's like, hello. No, what they also say because of-

Let's play shuffleboard. They said in the social distance learning phase, he started a very successful podcast becoming a boys' rights advocate. Okay. Yeah. And that is where that idea should end at 11, where you're like, boys don't get any of the rights.

We don't got rights. Am I right, boys? Am I right, my fellow boys? They're not looking. Yeah, they're not looking. If my children, you know, in the future can like properly and like successfully negotiate dessert, but like with, you know, properly, including good listening and being able to present their case and have thought it through, I would reward that by letting them because I feel like that's a better skill. Having vegetables before ice cream is not as important of a skill as knowing how to express your wants and needs.

And becoming a masterful rhetorician to get what you want. That's the skill we need. I mean, I eat ice cream as an adult all the time before dinner. And I just as long as I know I'm going to eat the dinner, it does. Nobody knows. And for me, and I feel like it's a big illusion that we have to have dinner before dessert. Yeah. No, no, no.

You can have sounds great. I treat parenting like trench warfare, where if they if I give up an inch, I've lost. Right. They can never get any progress with me. Right. That's that's true. any progress with me no right that's that's true like that there there is like a certain parenting mindset that i think is like the default that your brain goes to that is like you know i have to be an authoritarian here and yeah there are plenty of moments where it's it's

great to remember oh or i could just like delight my kid and be like ah fuck it let's go get ice cream fucking santa yeah yeah all right well theresa it's so wonderful having you back on the show we're gonna get to know you even better in a moment first we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about today sometimes it's fun to just check in with the world of crypto and look at how that's all working out and we might even get to the Fantastic Beasts series. All of that. Plenty more.

Before we get to it, Teresa, we like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history? Oh, gosh. This is going to be really telling. And in some ways, last time I came on and I asked people for help with the wall, I got a lot of actually very helpful answers. So I didn't find my answer on Google. So I'm going to tell you guys and maybe some of the site gang will have answers. But I've been well, I so I googled, I googled sleep talking, like chronic won't stop. But I'm trying to figure out the correlation outside of being tired. Because I have like theories that it's

like correlated to like me getting treatment for PTSD and allergies but it's like too big of a web but I've been sleep talking in a way that's like disruptive to people around me like like if I'm at my boyfriend's place I'll like wake him up and ask him if he wants a bagel in the middle of the night and to the point where it's like it's not endearing anymore it's very frustrating for him and for me too but when I'm alone I like usually just go back to sleep but I do like to the point where I'm like I feel bad I wish you understood I had no control over this and he does know but I could tell it makes him uh frustrated I was like where was one night I like woke up like every hour sometimes I'll scream sometimes I'll cry I have no control over it and

I thought that it was like temporary because I had like you know done trauma therapy but now it's been like months and I have no idea why it's happening but I feel fine when I wake up in the morning I still wake up with the sun. So in some ways, I think that like I'm like dreaming out loud almost, but I don't know how to stop it. So if any Zygang is like, you know, in neuroscience or understands or if you're a witch, you know, I'm open to anything. Yeah, right. Like remove a curse or something. That's fine. Your body just like gives you a word count at the start of the day and it's like ah you gotta get you gotta get 250 more words out there wow you know that's the

closest explanation to possible that i've heard because i do talk a lot and during pandemic i probably saved a lot of words you banked up a few extras my My body's like, blah. Right. I mean, the superego is like an editor or, you know, so the superego in your brain is like, all right, we're keeping track. We're keeping tabs. Maybe your superego is just being like, ah, we got to hit 2,000 words today or else we don't. I like a word with my superego because know i'm gonna look at linda negotiate my super ego yeah have young mateo negotiate with it wait and did you say like the bagel that's real like you're consistently offering a bagel but yeah i woke him up well so i remember this one because it's what i woke up on but sometimes sometimes I won't remember it. But I like literally woke him up like very,

I was like, do you want a bagel? Like so calmly. And he was like, no. And I was still thinking that we were in a car and I was getting him the breakfast. So I was like, oh, okay. Like he was kind of rude about it because I woke him up.

And then in a moment I felt bad. But then as soon as I like fully woke i was like oh my god i'm so sorry so i don't know i will say he also sleep talks not as much as me his is very cute but i caught him sleep talking where he'll say like i love you so much and then one day i was like oh are you talking to me he's like i was like talking to me or yourself and he was like oh i think i was talking to myself and i was like oh all these times i thought he would say i love you so much i was like he's like half asleep like telling me but sometimes he's telling himself so that's really cute but also very funny to me because yeah I'm talking to me I don't know that's selfish I love you so much

please uh affirm yourself well away from my hearing area please or else I will get confused I thought you were saying you'd love to meet, but that's fine. Yeah. I mean, you guys are both like, your urge that's coming out is to feed him and give him a bagel. And his urge is to express self-love. Like, you guys are a healthy-ass couple. I love it. I love it for both of you.

Except we don't get sleep. Because, no. Yeah. I guess that's nice. Better than waking someone up and being like, help. couple i love it i love it for both of you except we don't get sleep because no um yeah i guess that's nice better than waking someone up and be like help also like yeah fairly rational compared to sleep talking that i've encountered and been part of so when i'm i i noticed uh her majesty said there are times i'll just sit up straight in bed and then like scan the room dracula like yeah no sarcophagus shit just like yeah and then i'm just like looking around and she'll be like if she if i fall asleep before she's reading she'll be like you good and then apparently i say nothing and i just go

like right back down but it's it stopped since i exercise more i think you know that could be it i'm not exercising it could be i'm trying to get a core workout too maybe that was my body being like oh get this get this core get to sit up in real quick like like oh shit okay i get it i get it yeah but my wife like does some sleep talking it's a lot of sleep like punching and kicking like she's she's a violent sleeper but it but yeah it's not like consistent every night so that's that's interesting look you know we're all doing stuff from our sleep so get out of here yeah if you know what is something you think is overrated um i you know i really don't have a lot of answers for this because i'm kind of liking things right

now so i'm going to go back to childhood never liked this never understood I really don't have a lot of answers for this because I'm kind of liking things right now. So I'm going to go back to childhood. Never liked this. Never understood it. I don't understand why it never got phased out. Just like lemon flavor things. Not like lemon lemonade, but like lemon meringue pie, lemon Skittles. Like I thought we'd just have like canceled it by now. And it's still around and I don't understand why it's just not good.

It doesn't taste like lemon. And it's, that's it. That's why it's just not good. It doesn't taste like lemon. And it's, that's it. That's the tweet. Yeah. No, I get that. Lemon Starburst, I hate it. Wow. Lemon Skittles, didn't like.

To me, it felt like, because lemons you don't eat just off the tree. You know? So I had a brain that, I'm the same. I have this disconnect where I'm like, I'm never same i have this disconnect i'm like i'm never in my mind i'm like yeah apple fuck you just take that shit and you bite into a strawberries easy watermelons easy grapes easy lemons i'd be like the fucking thing i bit as a kid and like almost had a panic attack because i wasn't ready for the sour like nah that tom york woke up sucking i mean yeah exactly yesterday i believe he woke up sucking on lemon on lemon on lemon everything but yeah i i but i love i love it as a like i get it as an

ingredient i think citrus is amazing but i'm with you like candy that's lemon flavor? No. I love lemon flavored shit. And pie specifically. Do you like lemon meringue pie, Jack? I don't like the meringue, but I'm here for the lemon. I like key lime pie. Key lime pie is my favorite pie. I love that shit. Yeah, I don't know. Lemon starbursts are like a throw.

They're the last one that gets eaten and my star starburst rotation and the but you you mentioned apple and apple skittles are definitely my last i i prefer lemon skittles over apple skittles there's apple skittles yeah the green is apple has been for a while i thought that was lime i know i did too and then i was like why don't i fuck with these i think that's right that's wild i gotta try it again i thought it was that green one that green warheads are good skittles wait sweet green i thought they were all what is this sweet green i mean so the company is adding its lime flavor back to its original variety of candy. Many Skittle fans were shaken when in 2013,

the candy maker switched the flavor of green Skittles from lime to green apple. Oh, so since 2013, it's been apple? Yes. Okay, I haven't bought Skittles since like 98. Oh, man, what's going on? Are you okay? Yeah, man, I'm just, you know, I'm going. Oh, you're an adult? Yeah, man. What's going on? Are you okay? Yeah, man. I'm just, you know, I'm going. Oh, you're an adult? Yeah, yeah.

That and I just skittle. When I bought candy, it would always be something with chocolate. Like, I just don't buy gummy shit. Yeah, same. That's not how I get down. And since 2021, it has gone back to lime. So, I think it was when, Teresa, you

and I worked at that company that had big things of candy all over the place including like a big skittles thing that like you could turn it and oh ew scripts i i think this was uh when we were under demand media oh you mean land yeah wow i've i actually feel like skittles botched their marketing because when I was little, like, I didn't, I'm the same as Miles. I like chocolate. But I remember the commercials, like, getting me. I was like, taste the rainbow. Yeah, bitch.

I want to taste the rainbow. And now they're so far off, you know. Yeah. They've lost it. How the mighty fall. How the mighty fall. What's something you think is underrated um i think okay customer service like is underrated and this is not just because

i like good customer service because i think the term now just brings up like shitty call call centers now but i do like i started a new job and it's a small company and i feel like i won't um just to keep my job separate I won't say what it is but sometimes I'll get calls from people and I'm like even if people are frustrated I'm just like oh maybe because I'm still in that new job honeymoon phase but I realized like when I'm nice like sometimes I was just like so surprised like oh my god thank you for helping and that makes my day better and I realized that customer service call centers get a lot of angry callers, but I just like dread having to call any company.

And whenever there's companies that do end up having like clients go to Twitter or whatever, then the CEO steps in and they fix it. But I'm like, why don't we just make customer service actually like what it used to be, which is people actually caring and people who want to do that job instead of being like oh let me just get a voice on the line who's gonna know nothing i don't know

maybe i'm alone in this but it just feels like a let's pay these people like shit so they have to be completely exhausted to earn a living wage uh because they're working so many hours and then yeah be surprised make it a high value job again what I mean, we need to make it a high-value job again. Right, exactly. Make it high-value, pay people for it, and a high-value customer service rep who's paid for their time is going to love that and going to be doing a great job fielding calls. But oftentimes I'll be on hold forever,

and then finally they'll talk to their manager. Which is, I always hate making them feel bad. So I'm always like, hey, man, can we skip to the part where yeah but they have to follow their script and i'm always like this sucks for you too it's just that they've gotten so good with the automated ones you know those are so good i just always feel taken care of especially when you say something you're like select your option now you're like yes and you hear and i'm like what the fuck are you doing bro just let me fucking complain that there's no internet in my neighborhood right now i don't need to hear this yeah yeah robust sounds but yeah it was wild during pandemic

because some of the call centers i know people were working from home and it would just be like you know you call a huge company like spectrum or something and then you could hear a baby crying and they'd be like, Oh, let me see. But then it also humanizes everyone more. So I feel like it's easier to connect as a human. Like, obviously, we all know that these are just jobs. But sometimes when I'm like, able to get to that, like, Oh, hey, like, how's your day, then they're just like, more willing to listen. And I'm more willing to just like, be like, Don't worry, I'm not gonna yell at you. But I think some of it's out of fear, because I'm sure they get yelled at all the time. it's like just imagining that they're like at home on their cell fielding a call and cooking dinner i'm like oh it's thankless you got a second let me yeah it's

that's why like to your point like i'm just like just put me on the phone with the person i can yell at because it ain't you it's not you i know that i know it's not you because you just answered they do cannon fodder you know what i mean because they know people like me are trying to get through to have real complaints and i'm i'm always like i'm always say like i know this has i'm like i know it's not you like i know it's not you i know this is your job and i'm like always like just please get me to the person who like can make decision here or who, when I threaten to cancel my service, will try to do more than be like, we can offer you showtime for two days. I'm like, no, I'm not paying this month. I'm not paying this month.

My whole life is on the Internet. I just had a really good customer service experience while canceling our car insurance from one company to go with another company. And the people I talked to to cancel it were both very kind and like, you know, asked what the rate was. We're like, all right, we can't beat that. That's good. And then we're also like, oh, you already started your policy? Well, let's get your money back. Yeah, let's get you money back from our company. As you were leaving i was like

okay typically yeah i although man i remember last time with a insurance company that shall not be named when i had overlapping insurance it took me so long for them to like they're like can you get another letter that said when your coverage started i'm like no i sent you three versions right like yeah yeah oh yeah it has not the money is not back to me at this point so i should i should probably hold my tongue for now they're gonna fight me to the grave yeah but all right let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk nfts i'm jess casaveto executive producer of the hit netflix documentary NFTs. for I Have Followed.

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.

And, you know, like there was a lot of excitement about NFTs, about crypto over these past few years still is man still still still a lot of excitement now you're starting to hear people who are like it seems like all of these are pump and dump scams like no there's no value being offered but there's still a crypto.com arena so uh i know and the so that's crept in but there's still i feel like the the overall if you just like took a cross-section of the population and like ask them about that uh about

nfts or crypto the answer would be somewhere between i don't know what that is and yeah man like all about it let's get let's get it let's secure the bag get it yeah because i i feel like the stories that made the front page were like 2.5 million dollars for a nft and then we haven't we haven't really checked it where's that next part where they're like well it was early on right it would be like someone bought it for fucking 3k now it's worth fucking 120 and they did it this kid's 14 and you're like oh okay i see that and what you're referencing is very specific right this crypto investor named sinai he purchased the nft version of jack dorsey's first ever tweet on Twitter. Okay, when it's like setting up my Twitter or whatever the fuck that tweet is.

He bought that shit for a cool $2.5 million and he tweeted this at the time. And again, keep in mind, this was like about one year ago. He said, this is not just a tweet. I think years later, people will realize the true value of this tweet. Like the Mona Lisa painting.

Painting is capitalized, but I get it. You're being very. The Mona Lisa painting, MLP, as we call it, is a brand, Miles. Like, don't. He should be capitalizing that, of course. Mural linguistic programming. And, well, I guess it didn't take years for people to realize the true value of a fucking JPEG. Because this man went around earlier in April this month. He was saying, like, you know what?

I've decided to sell this NFT, he tweeted. The world's first ever tweet in parentheses. And donate 50% of the proceeds, parenthetical, $25 million or more to charity. So he's like, okay, I'm crunching the numbers. Oh, yeah. He was apparently expecting to bring in now upwards of $48 million for this NFT that he bought for $2.5 million. He put this shit up for auction on OpenSea or one of those like, OpenSea or one of those, like, NFT sites. And when the auction closed, guess what the highest bid was?

Jack, you're looking. I know you know what the answer is. But, Teresa, guess. $69. See, okay, you're betting $69. It's a little bit higher than that. I'm not going to lie. You can go a little bit higher than that.

Fine. $12,000. No, that's too high. $277 was the highest bid that's not 277k i was expecting a k right nah nah nah 277 singles okay was on offer he isn't obligated to sell because like that's just just more to see like who's willing to like make an offer that's like viable um and he's holding on but yeah right now it sounds like the best offer is 10 000 which is less than 48 million i think which which was also seemed like 48 million was below what he was willing to accept since he

wanted uh donate 50 which was equaling out to 25 million this is like classic scam I feel like pyramid scammer but so dumb where like the guy he bought it from probably was like oh yeah like this is great because it's like you're supposed to be selling it for a high markup right but

not buying and be like fuck yeah I got a deal like he was guessing it would go up in 10 years. So he, he paid the middle, like maybe what, maybe it would have been in five years if the timeline he was on actually went that way.

But he just skipped, skipped ahead. And now he's fucked because he put this value on it by trying to sell it too soon. Like you can't even fake it now. Like you can't wait 10 years and then be like, I'll sell it at cost. Like you can't, it's not even worth that anymore. No, you can't even wait 10 years and then be like, I'll sell it at cost. Like, you can't.

It's not even worth that anymore. No, you're out here being like, 48 million. Somebody's like, bro, I'll give you 277 bucks. They're like, fuck. I have that in my house right now. I can go around to the various drawers, gather up the change. I can get that to you. Oh, yeah.

But I need you to say yes right now or else no deal. I can get that to you. Oh, yeah. But I need you to say yes right now or else. No deal. I mean, yeah, it's very heartbreaking to see, you know, I just couldn't have happened to somebody who deserved it less to get such a fraction of his two and a half million. But you can see from the math he's using, right, that he I think in his mind he thought he would at least 10x because I think he's thinking if I'm giving 25 to charity, 50% of the proceeds, he thinks it's going to go to 50. He's going to 10X his two and a half million to 25 million. And he's like, well, the other 25, I can just give away to charity at that point, because I've done my part. I mean, in some ways, he did give it to charity by buying this NFT. I mean, most of the people selling nfts will be needy charity in a couple years it seems the charity detail is fun because it suggests a series of meetings where he and his financial advisors are planning out the money that like what they're gonna do with the

50 million and he's having to be like no no no no, no. Like, trust me, this is going like now that I'm famous, once we make this sale, then like people, I'm going to want to buy the goodwill with this $25 million donation to charity like this. OK. What did he do before? Like, because he had to a point five lying around or did he take out loans because this was a big investment for him? No, I think he's a like he he's a crypto like evangelist investor so i think he has money from oh i'm sorry it's 2.8 million uh it's even worse um but yeah he i i have a feeling it was because he you know like was early on in crypto had some money thrown i don't know what his net worth is now or whatever but this feels to me like a problem that's actually a self-balancing

problem because all the news that reports on big expensive crypto sales make us everyone want to get into it on the bottom but actually all those trades are happening in like a small portion of the people who've been in it for so long so in some ways it's actually good for everyone else because it's evening it out i don't know if that makes sense but it's almost like like they're trading within each other and they forgot they forgot that they're all inflating their own prices so none of the regular folks like me would necessarily even be considering buying a 2.5 million nft like maybe if you're like it's 40 you would get a bunch of people who are like oh beanie babies you know that kind of thing but i feel like in some ways this evens it back out so if there is any value it'll even back out within five years but if it's not then it'll all go away yeah the

downside is like the first of all like anytime there's a financial market that's created without regulation it tends to be a way for the people with money to prey on people with less money like they find a way to bend the things, like people with power and influence are going to use that power and influence to make the rules so that they get to keep their money and get to keep the money of the other people they're doing transactions with.

And it's also because of the unregulated side of this, like people who are knowledgeable about NFTs and crypto is like, say that the money tends to flow right word towards like authoritarians and the American, right. So it's making the rich richer, which I guess that that was happening anyways in America, but also like it gives,

I guess there's a lot of authoritarian governments around the world that are getting richer off of this shit yeah and you know speaking of the money flowing right words let's check in with the let's go brandon coin that you know if you were maggot out uh and looking to get in on the crypto wave i mean this let's go brandon token or what we call lgbt uh looked like a surefire way out of your ex-wife's new husband's back shed but we get it you fell for trump griffs you fell for q griffs you fell for fucking ivermectin griffs and now you just want to feel like you can fucking win something so when this shit came around it was widely promoted by like MAGA influencers like people like fucking Candace Owens and fucking even Key Bumps Jr. I mean Donald Trump Jr. was

like out here posting about it being like this is like the future of freedom of speech bro fucking whatever the fuck it was and they promised that this thing would take off because we're in talks they were saying like the people who are behind the coin they're like we're in talks with fucking nascar okay to potentially sponsor hold on to your butts fucking brandon brown's car the original brandon of let's go brandon okay we were gonna get and if we get that, this thing, I mean, it's going to be so visible, you're going to start making your money. Well, NASCAR was like, nah, we're not like just basically deaded the deal. Uh, and it wasn't going to happen. The price started going down and then people were starting to be like, this feels like a fucking scam now. Like I put all this money into it. And now there's a class action lawsuit being brought from a few different investors against some of these influencers and the people who like minted the coin or this token to try and get their money back.

Although like there's a lot of like finger pointing where like the people who are like working with the coin were like, I don't know, this person was such a fan. Like I got emails where they're like, I'll do everything to market this coin for free. Please. I'm simping for LGBT. Let's go brandon token and the now we have a lot of hurt feelings and broke people people like candace owens are named in this class class action lawsuit so that's like the state of it now and people are denying any wrongdoing but i want to point to this moment because i think what's important is like pointing out these like these very specific moments like

and when a like the crypto grift is in when you have to you know because celebrity endorsement is like the hugest like that's the part you know like that gives it legitimacy we saw that when paris and fucking fallon were like pretending to give a fuck about board yacht club ape or whatever the fuck that shit was so in this version there was this guy who's also i believe named in the lawsuit he had fucking the biggest of maga influencers big poppy comb over himself donald trump in the building or remotely to come on his podcast and basically he shoehorns in this like let's go brandon token with trump on the air and like gifts him like a bunch of tokens to try and give it some legitimacy but trump is so old and doesn't really know it just sounds like

just you just here listen to this and uh even biden liked it if you think about it right they asked him about it and he thought it was great he thought it was wonderful. He thought it was wonderful. His wife was mortified, but he thought it was wonderful. Yeah, he did. He said at the interview, he said, let's go, Brandon. I agree. So James Catullus is a major stakeholder in this meme token. The meme token is let's go for let's go, Brandon. And James wanted me to give you 500 billion of these let's go tokens. give you 500 billion of these let's go tokens so they are yours mr president they are earmarked for you and uh that sounds good to me i don't know exactly what it means but it sounds good to me well the thing the thing they want to do with this this token is support the truckers they want to support firemen police nurses doctors because of the because of the jazz mandate

uh they're going to do a you can hear him trump on the other end like rustling like he's like yo what the i'm trying to get off this call he's like what are we talking about is this a physical thing that's gonna show up at my door like do i have to sign for it he's like what he's like 500 billion dollars he's like i don't want this like the fuck is let's go it turns out that amount that he said was offered it oh come came out to around 45 000 but hey after it sounds good to me the price fell 19 right after that ah that's so funny isn't the whole point of like these that you can't like mint 500 billion of a thing and claim that that's a that's money. Like you're supposed to, it's supposed to be a difficult process,

a time consuming and energy consuming process that makes it so that like each of these has some sort of basis in like, well, there's only one of these, but. Well, there's like a volume cap, but maybe he owned that much that he thought he was going to sell by now. So he's like, well, let's give it to Trump

and it's his problem because then he'll want the value to go up. Yeah. It just seems like impossible to have minted 500 billion NFTs. But anyways, it's fun to hear Trump start to, you know, huh? Sounds good to me. I don't know exactly what that means that was the most reaganish reaganite yeah like trump has tried to claim reagan so many times but that was the first time he actually had a had a claim to the mantle it's like uh-huh i have to ask him it does feel like

also he probably got paid for that appearance which is like trump's probably just out here just doing like cameos now and they're like all you have to do is come on and hype up our coin he's like yeah sure whatever great and it's like he made the price drop yeah it's uh again it's they're they're like marketing to a group of people who are just gonna buy something i have no idea what's going on like even less so than i think most people who are probably into crypto because you know we saw this too with like the nfts that they're they were hawking of like a melania trump watercolor and shit and all these other nonsense like fucking trump coins and the melania trump watercolor like you don't need is it a watercolor

painting of her or a watercolor that she painted she made as an nft so like you don't need, is it a watercolor painting of her or a watercolor that she painted? She made as an NFT. So like, you don't need an NFT attached to that to make it valuable. Like that's a beautiful work of art. Fuck out of here. You're going to buy the fuck. They're going to fucking buy the JPEG. Let him fucking do it.

Wow. Amazing. Amazing. Things happening in the world of nft continue to think the paris hilton appearance on jimmy fallon will be in museums years from now truly yeah before uh before the nft of uh jack dorsey's tweet right yeah which one will be the museum first them just the completely surreal uh because yeah the audience that doesn't know what's happening but is like cheering for the pictures that they're showing them of their

nfts like they are pictures of babies it is right and it'll be like babies babies are the original nft yeah it's true one of a kind right no i'm saying that the museum plaque will say like the moment the crypt oligarchy started right yeah yeah exactly did you have anything else on babies being the original nft is i like that idea um i mean the it's not like a pre-written one but i you really did make me think that because literally you have to be in that location to create it there's two people who sign off on it at least you know and then there's a lot of energy that is expounded oh my god i don't know english i work this job also i've been speaking in chinese just fyi so my code switching is really difficult

that is expunged a lot of energy expunged when you give birth which is like minting an nft yeah you know sometimes the value goes down if the baby ends up being an asshole and if that baby then the value goes up yeah that's great yeah and i i've been making this argument to my wife you know that like that you know minting an nft is like giving birth and like just stop it with all the complaints about i meant to send you this video yesterday jack of the presentation for crypto land which is this physical island in fiji that these crypto people are trying to start and it's like it's like fucking pandora like of like avatar but for crypto bros and everything in this presentation video it's you can't believe what you're watching

because it's like an animated 3d thing and like this bit like you like this manifestation of like a bitcoin's like hey chris welcome to the island like it's the fucking dna character from jurassic park and it's like uh-oh he's like you're here with federal fellow hodlers and they're holding on for dear life too and it's like chock full of like crypto memes and they're trying apparently they were trying to build they were i don't know if it's still happening but getting people in this idea of this fucking island where everyone can go to and live out their crypto fantasies together but it really just felt like the the tone of the video and like the energy in it just underscored further like the sense of

community that a lot of these people are seeking because that's all this thing offered was like here's a physical place where we can be safe together and it looks like a nightmare but to you it looks great that's so interesting that you say that community thing because it's like that when you mentioned the idea of like trying to get people joined i was thinking of like that's how sort of religion spread but religions have obviously value because it provides a community but when you get into the part where you're like only trying to spread it you know then it gets creepy but it's not the religion itself that's bad just like i don't really think like creating new money is intrinsically bad but what it is is just delusional to be like basically we won't have gone to a place where

it's valuable and unless people aren't trying to get you in right it's like exclusive clubs are trying to keep you out um but right now if you mentioned to any crypto person wanting to know more they're like happy to explain it to you because they want more people on their side so it will never feel like it's this exclusive thing until that's gone and that's still very much here it'll feel exclusive when the people who have enough of it dump all their shit and then leave people holding the bag and they'll be like yeah we're in this new club called like just obscenely wealthy. Called Elysium, where we just float around in the sky. Is that a new coin? No, no, that's the space colony we're going to escape to.

But the fetishization of these coins, these just ugly JPEGs that are just poor, bad, not even bad art. They don't even seem to want to be art. But that's just that's a wild thing though like i did i don't think i had like fully uh appreciated until you just said the like dino dna version of the nft thing because it is like you know if you've ever known somebody who's like really in like into a drug or into you know like

what whatever their like obsession is that has changed their brain chemistry they're going to start like projecting weird things into that and like you know fetishizing that like thinking that like there's something beautiful of about that thing that like there's not really there it's just your brain chemistry and i feel like we're gonna be seeing more and more like that with nfts and with crypto that like just the obsession with whatever the fuck form these things are taking right that's a bummer do you remember when people used to buy stars like that was a thing you could just like name a star registry right that is 100% what i think this is because i think people still can do that but definitely like it's definitely become a thing where it's like this is stupid and i can just tell you i named a star after you that's the same thing as if i wrote to the star people

that's a major plot point in the three body problem by the way i love the three body problem i do too the the third book in the series like has a major plot point where they buy a star and it has an impact because that star ends up being important. Anyways, let's take a quick break. So maybe these NFTs will be important. Yeah, I think so. Buy one now for your sweetheart for $4.20. Sweetheart for 420.

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.

You can't see it, taste it, or smell it. Suppliers mix fentanyl into their products because it's potent and cheap, and the dealer might not even know.

Like a recent episode with Latin Grammy winner, podcast host, and TV personality, Chiquis, about making a name for herself as the eldest daughter of beloved singer, Jenny Rivera. I'm not afraid. And I think that that's why I've been able to kind of do my own thing and not necessarily stay in my mom's shadow because I'm not afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone and shaking things up a little bit because that's the only way I feel that you're going to make history. Listen to The Bright Side

from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And so is the world of J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter potter verse so fantastic beast series is a fucking mess like it kind of has been from jump street like the the first one i remember there was a lot of hype and then it came out and everyone's like oh what what what fresh hell is this and and you know there wasn't a lot of love for the first two i think there were two out maybe three i mean eddie redmayne's eye candy so i can't complain when he's i get to stare at him but yeah besides movies can't be all bad when he's on screen

you're just like well this is eminently watchable so the we're we're now on to the secrets of dumbledore which is the newest story uh it's set in the same world as harry potter obviously dumbledore big time character and so every piece of press that this movie gets just seems to be worse than the previous one oh it's awful if you do a google search like google news search of just like fantastic beasts it's everything's like what the fuck happened like this cursed franchise how did it become like the biggest fart of all time and like that was happening before like that you know i remember like if you uh like when the Star Wars prequels came out, like the reviews for the Phantom Menace were good and like the box office was huge because people hadn't been

able to wrap their mind around like, oh, this sucks. Like this sucks in a way that like we did not see coming. And then the bad reviews and the diminishing box office started, I think, around the second one. And then the third one, which ended the trilogy, like, people came back and were like, no, actually, like, it turns out these were all good. But, like, Fantastic Beasts, like, the first one, I remember the reviews being like, huh? What the fuck is, what is going on so anyways this one covers the wizarding world now i noticed that they like like in the trailer i don't know if they did this before but i i don't know if this is a consciously because of you know jk just being a complete trans person but they definitely i feel like the studio is like we're not harry potter we're the

wizarding world the wizarding world the wizarding world you know the thing we've always called it yeah nobody has ever just called it that like suddenly they're just like from the wizarding world franchise you're like yeah just throwing you off a little bit right you don't want to give too much power to anyone except jk whose uh instincts have been fully on point so this one is about young Dumbledore fighting an evil male wizard who happens to be his former lover. But the gay content, like,

you know, what should be, it sounds like the emotional crux of the film was actually cut out of the version released in China. And that, that might seem like an impossibility based on that log line, but that's because it amounted to six seconds. There were six seconds that implied,

that let you know the entire reason for this story to be told actually involved a gay subtext. Or text, it sounds like. All because Mads Mikkelsen said a line that said because I was in love with you and the summer Gellert and I fell in

love they got rid of that shit they're like whoa whoa whoa they're like you talking to a woman I like that they're like cutting out the gay like any gay references but then they're like because we've come so far remember when like churches are banning harry potter because of magic but now we're just like magic's

fine believe in wizards believe in evil but definitely don't believe in gay people and we're back on that don't protest too much okay the female lead of the first two movies was missing from all the trailers and posters for the new one, which people thought was weird. She was one of the only cast members to call out JK Rowling for her transphobia. Ah,

and the reason she is missing from all those trailers is because she's only in the full length movie for barely a minute. And the reason, her character's reason that she can't join on the adventure is because she's, quote, simply too busy. Which seems... What the fuck? That's like, oh,

how's Samantha doing now that she's moved to London and not in this show anymore? Really? She's simply too busy. Wow. Simply too busy having like a moral compass it almost pointed out more i might as well just not have her in it and then have a story because it's like now we noticed it i don't know if you saw the trailer this version but i saw it and it was like at the beginning of everything everywhere all at once and the whole beginning

is just like it sounds like it's an ad for like a commemorative because it's like you from the studio that brought you harry potter and it's like a bunch of flashbacks a bunch of like replays it's almost like trying to remind you like hey i know we've been through a lot and we all hate jk rowling but remember when you liked it remember remember this remember that anyways we're going to show you a new trailer we really hope you buy a ticket like that's what it feels like right no and i think you can again just going through these headlines that are written about it like there's so many things of saying how fantastic beast became hollywood's most cursed franchise it can like can this distressed franchise bring the fans back and i think that one ties in directly to your observation,

which is like, do they fucking like know it's like a fucking Harry Potter movie? It's probably like what the marketing people are like in their meetings and shit. Like, I don't know, man. Fucking show Daniel and fucking Emma and all them fucking, you know, like Expelliarmus shit in the beginning and then they'll fucking get it, right? But no, it seems like 45 minutes of the movie are just previously on. Expelliarmus shit in the beginning and then they'll fucking get it, right? But, nah. The first 45 minutes of the movie are just previously on Harry Potter. They just show pictures of your childhood.

You and your parents enjoying Disneyland. It's like, remember this? This was happy memories for you. So, maybe you would like our movie. Remember when we used to say transvestite? And it's like, wait, what? How'd that get in there? I'm just saying.

I'm just saying. People's sex matters, folks. I'm like, oh, fuck. I think JK must have written this one. But yeah, I mean, so they made the decision to cast Johnny Depp at a time when a lot of rumors were swirling and then it was immediately revealed that he was abusive and an asshole and then there's also so they recast johnny depp as uh mads mickelson which can't can't argue with a little meds in my life. And then they, like, right as the movie was about to premiere, Ezra Miller, who is a person that I totally know about because I'm up on pop culture.

Uh-huh. And we talked about how he was getting arrested all over the place. Oh, is this right before the Hawaii incident, I'm guessing? I think so, yeah. Yeah. So that happened. So they just can't figure this one out. And on top of it, no one gives a shit about these movies to begin with.

They're critically reviled. The audiences seem ambivalent. The studio tried to keep the budget around $100 million. But with COVID, it ended up costing around $200 million. Yeah. And the previous movies didn't even do that well, even before jk rowling came out as like a vocal online bigot right so yeah yeah and it's i think many people

just point to that they you know warner brothers couldn't even like they handled it worse than disney's handling their shit right now right where they're like they can't even come out and be like yeah she's bad they're like oh well the thing about jk is we're gonna cancel her jk but for real man she's made way too much money for the studio so we'll just say you're like really what they should do i feel like they should just give money to because like the actors the chat the like daniel and emma and rupert like they all i feel like are so beloved. And obviously they're moving on with their lives and not coming back to do it. And that's why I think people don't care anymore. Give them money to make an indie film

and then take a cut of it. Whatever. We'll watch that. I'll watch Daniel Radcliffe directing. I'll watch Emma Watson directing something. Just don't put it in the Harry Potter universe. Do train spotting. Do train spotting and swap them out. But apparently Warner Brothers is actually, like,

very seriously considering canceling the series, which was supposed to run for five films. And they're saying it all depends on how the secrets of Dumbledore is received.

It came out last week in the UK and made a third of what the first Fantastic Beasts movie did. I don't know. Our writer, J.M., wrote that it's not too late to add a post-credits scene where Harry Potter

wakes up from a prolonged fever dream after watching Donnie Brasco for the first time. Oh, that's funny. Hee hee hee hee hee hee. Consider it. They should give it a shot. shot or you know what they do that what they need to do is the you know rupert whatever the red-haired boy is emma and daniel

radcliffe like they get the people together who are in the films and just do a movie where like it ain't harry potter but like maybe it is you know what i mean like do that real vague in between shit where they're like we're we've all assembled to make this other film i don't know that's that's my uh it's my punk my punk rock hollywood mind i'm also just like because because the way that hollywood works now is they tend to give these movies to like a young up-and-coming director, but it looks like now that David Yates was the director of the first one. I don't know. I think he just

made other Harry Potter movies. Oh, he's done some of the other ones, right? Yeah. But anyways, this is what is being made instead of other films. Right. This is how we pad the pockets of discriminatory bigots yeah like just cut the fucking faucet off i mean like that's where like i feel like now warner brothers you

got a good out you got what the fuck you needed don't don't further finance shit with this person and just you know go about your business and make fucking you know new shit and new stories that actually tend to do well at the box office like you got a fucking winning recipe right in front of you well teresa as always truly a pleasure having you yeah other than your uh disparaging comments about lemon flavored things um which i cannot okay i apologize okay you know look you could like lemon I'm just saying it was overrated in my head but I will say I almost went with Elon Musk overrated but I was like I'm sure someone already did that so if that makes you feel better rewrite history just pretend I said Elon

Musk not lemon nah fuck I'm with you on the lemons no no on lemon bars as well no on lemon bars yeah see that yeah the pastries are where I, I can't do those. I have, I've had a good one, you know, and I'm not mad at it, but I don't, I don't gravitate toward, the only citrus dessert that I gravitate towards is key lime pie. Yeah. And I hate, like, I remember eating orange. That's too much for me too. You know those shits that's like, like orange flavored chocolate?

Yeah, no, get that shit the fuck out of here. Get the fuck out my fucking face! Orange anything. Orange flavored things are not good. I do love oranges. No, I will object to that because Chinese candy, there's like

orange gum. I don't know. These classic little Chinese bubble gums. Those are so good. So I think sometimes they can do it, but they don't. And marmalade is really good, but that is derived directly from oranges. Anyways, Teresa, pleasure having you. Where can people find you, follow you? Oh, well, I'm about to go on tour.
