Yeah, yeah, start that. I've shotgunned them before. That's a terrible fight. I think I've shotgunned them with miles at my house. Didn't we shotgun a mountain deer?

I think I watched you do it and then I looked at Her Majesty and she's like... She gave you a subtle nod, shake of the head. She was like, ah, I'm good. She dialed a divorce lawyer lawyer she's about to hit send i recently had a flaming hot mountain dew actually um and you know what it wasn't disgusting like i thought it was gonna be was not hot at all which was my right i was like this should be a little bit spicy i know it has the whisper the the hint of like the spiciness of ginger beer.

I wanted it to scald my esophagus with chemical burns. Right, right. Yeah. Well, look, they can't really do it. Like, did you hear about like how people who are eating Chipotle now? They're like, the hot sauce is way too hot now. It got way too hot. And like people are fucking freaking out about it.

We're also soft. And I'm like, come on. But it turns out that like chipotle was like i mean we get it from the same places all the time but then they suspect it was a batch of like these chilies that they got from india that may be slightly hotter and like i forget super producer victor sent me the article because i love hearing about people who are like too spicy too spicy and they're like it was just a little couple scovilles above normal right yeah whatever peppers can be wildly you know there's a spectrum sometimes you get a jalapeno you're like, it was just a little couple Scoville's above normal. Right. So whatever. Peppers can be wildly, you know, there's a spectrum.

Sometimes you get a jalapeno, you're like, this is mild. Sometimes you get a jalapeno that fucks your day up. Oh, yeah. Or even like a shishito pepper you could have. Oh, a shishito can sneak up on you. Yeah. They will fucking, they will jump you in an alley when you least expect it. You didn't expect it.

You thought it was going to be a nice little appetizer. Oh, what, they're roasted? Oh, you like the bonito flakes on it? Guess what? Motherfucker. This is a spicy one. All right, Carl, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about. We're going to talk about Ted Cruz's prescription for fixing the school shooting problem in america uh treat schools like banks he said that a week ago and then there was a mass shooting in a bank so we'll talk about that and some new gun statistics uh we're going to talk about this harvard alum mckinsey alum who is

openly advocating for bringing back public lynchings in san francisco but like doesn't seem to know that that's what she's i don't know it's a michelle tandler uh on twitter uh go check check her out we'll talk about her we'll talk about how the right is celebrating super mario for its anti-wokeness uh and also blasting super Super Mario for its wokeness. It's the same film. We'll talk about the Bodyguard musical causing people to sing along while the show

is happening. Did you see that clip? They can't stop. It turned into a riot. You thought these women were advocating for gun control the way they were fucking ripped out of their seats and like taken out of the theater it was something else and then we have some good news you we don't always just give outright good news here but um you can now order

domino's pizza while driving oh finally thank you my consider my boost you can did you watch the promotional video no we're gonna have to though before we talk about it it's it's a blast all that plenty more but first carl we do like to ask our guests what is something from your search history you know i've been doing a lot of googling about like how hard it is actually to like move into the woods like off the grid you know like what's actually involved in that because i think about that i feel like more and more these days with increasing frequency i'm like i should just like move into the woods and just like never come back you know yeah i think logistically it's kind of tough it's like you're gonna need a goat you're gonna need some chicken yeah like you're gonna need a goat you're gonna need some chicken yeah like

you're gonna need a defensive perimeter of some kind is that what they tell you well you need to raise your own food if you're going off the grid so you know i'm gonna need my eggs yeah you can't be you can't be doing car ordering of dominoes once you're off the grid yeah car play won't work in your car exactly you're off the grid oh yeah and then you got you probably have to form like a defensive perimeter of some kind because there'll be raiders this is so variety dude i just watched the third episode of last of us and this is exactly what dick offerman's character was going through and i was like i've always been like yeah i wonder what it'd be like and watching him go through it like trying to do this shit solo i was like that's way too much work bro i'm not gonna do animal husbandry and

shit fucking i haven't seen that show but i that appeals to me and you're right i think the actual reality of it you're like damn a lot of manual labor you could watch that episode actually in a vacuum because it's kind of like just sort of specifically to this character within the show and it's just like all about this dude who's like surviving the zombie apocalypse who's like he's like a prepper and he's like now's my time right and you're like it looks i'm like wow you've got it all but it looks incredibly lonely yeah um yeah you probably had to act so hard to make it look difficult for him right because yeah it'd be a breeze for him in real life oh yeah he's like i could make all of this out of wood right now complex machines out of most of the wooden tools i need i made them in my shop i can actually do it without any nails

i'm an expert in japanese joinery he was in the studio the other day was he yeah well have you heard his real have you heard his real laugh it's the best it's the best shit ever it's like when you when it happens it's such a treat i remember interviewing him once and he laughed for real and i was like i was like wait is this a bit dude that's great like he laughs like that like goofy yeah like it's so different because he'll be like yeah and i remember meeting a fan who got a you know ron swanson tattoo with me making a pizza he's a goof at heart you can tell oh yeah totally totally but it's just so funny when outwardly everyone just thinks of him as being this such like superly stoic guy when he's like

a theater kid who loves carpentry and laughing yeah i was like i saw i went and saw when i was i think it was like late teen early 20s i guess i went to the craig kilbourne show he was having clint eastwood on his show and like he had this thing throughout the early years of the craig kilbourne where Clint Eastwood was this masculinity, badass icon. And he had him on and interviewed him and Clint Eastwood was just like, yeah, I'm into jazz and stuff.

Really like jazz and playing instruments. It was just like Craig Kilbourne was so disappointed. It was great. Oh, there's somebody made a montage of him giggling. Offerman? Yeah.

Not Clint Eastwood. He's never giggled before. Yeah. Okay. That was a goofy. That was goofy. Yeah. There it is. That's funny. Amazing. What a charmer.

Yeah. 100%. Delight. What is, what's something you think is overrated? Oh man. You know, I've been seeing them a lot in the news and maybe more so recently.

The robot dogs. Like, i just think making robots in general is overrated and like why don't who is supporting the robot dogs like i know people like them like why are we doing oh yeah every time i see this i'm like this is a terrible idea well yeah the u.s military and the family that made that and will be billionaires for five generations going forward, I think, are the prime. I'm going to say I'm going to say designing robots that will eventually kill us. Very overrated. Yeah. Don't know why we're putting resources toward this.

I mean, I do know why. But you know what's so funny? why we're putting resources toward this i mean i do know why but you know what's so funny i feel like within two months those like those fucking like boston dynamics robots have gone to fucking trash because of what ai's been doing where we're like yeah yeah shut up you fucking weird robot script yeah why yeah this guy's writing this this fucking ai is writing ace ventura 4 as a spec and it's fucking really good. And it's good. It's actually good. Better than Ace Ventura 2.

It nails it without the transphobia of the first one. Yeah. I like that they skipped Ace Ventura 3. Yeah. The AI knew that that wasn't necessary. It was like, I'm going to write you 4. You know the reason I even said 4

is because I know somebody whose partner was writing Ace Ventura 3 as a spec. And I remember it was like this thing where I was like was writing ace ventura 3 as a spec and i remember it was like this thing where i was like oh that's such a bummer dude i don't want to tell you like i don't there might be a better way to get your foot in the door as a writer than writing ace ventura 3 on spec but hey but what if it was amazing yeah i know part of me wants to see it but you know how like jaded people are in this industry, too? You hear an idea, and you're like, the era of writing a really funny spec script to get in, that was like 12 years ago. Well, what about the Seinfeld 9-11 spec script?

That guy got it. Alex Sulkin, right, right. Le Sulk, who is now a family guy writer. Yeah, I mean, it worked for him. He's developing a bunch of robotic... There it is. Ace Ventura versus the robot dogs. Yeah.

Oh, shit. There you go. He's a pet detective. The pets are being replaced with robots. It's perfect. There it is. What is something you think is underrated? Something that I did recently for the first time, maybe ever in my adult life.

I did not look at my phone for an entire day day i didn't even have it on for an entire day wow i feel like it's been i don't know if i've ever actually done that completely like fully committed to it i was backpacking in joshua tree and it was really more like a day and a half actually and i was like i'm just gonna turn off my phone and just fucking rock with the natural world baby there you go and uh you know what it felt pretty good it felt pretty good i mean no anxiety you know there was a little bit of it but i i don't know it was actually really relaxing i don't know like oh yeah like like everyone i'm always looking at my phone it's always on me it's always in my hand i think just

like not having that weight that psychic psychic weight, it was refreshing. But of course, I immediately was like, oh, shit, got to get on Instagram and see what I missed. So what did you do? Make eye contact with the people you were walking around with? I was by myself. So I was on kind of like a solo spirit quest in the middle of the desert. Disgusting. How did you take pictures of everything you saw to prove that you were there?

It's funny i was thinking that and every time i saw something cool i was like oh i should turn on my phone take a picture of that and then i was like calm down calm down you got this easy boy easy easy you don't need to photograph everything look at it with your mind and remember it with your brain be present and look at it exactly what i was trying i was trying i was trying hard and you know it was it was pretty good yeah oh man i there's something like to to what you're getting at is like when you're able to replace the feeling of like you know when you have your phone it's sort of there to be like oh well if i fucking need to think about something to do so i can always look at this exactly when

you can replace that with like you know being in nature or like building something or doing whatever like playing music that's really like when you're like oh yeah this is this is living when you realize you don't you when you feel like i don't need to reach for that phone yeah also i think i remember if i don't know if it's because of covid or how time has warped because of code i just feel like my memory in recent years is just like terrible like yeah my brain i can't remember anything before code like someone's like i remember like this 2018 i'm like no absolutely not what are you talking about anything before covid anything during covid i'm like this is all missed i still conflate the summer of 2020 and 2021 oh yeah i have the hardest time differentiating between

the two like and i'm always like wait oh no right right right i'd have a vaccine that summer right and i'm like i don't know if i just put my brain into like cryo freeze or something yeah it was like a lost year we were like the lost generation world war one style it's just like we what happened what even happened what even happened man and world war one was the time that there was a similar pandemic that shut everything down for a long time. It was like 100 years later, 2019 to like 1990. It's a fun little tradition we have. Every 100 years we bring it back around. A tradition unlike any other.

The global pandemic that blacks you out for two years of your life. I have been noticing, talking about the robot dog and getting technology out of our lives, it seems like things are coming to a head in the public consciousness with regards about, everyone's freaking out about AI. Industry leaders are pulling the plug on AI. Do we have a good reason for that? Do we think that for the people, the current power structure is just too destabilizing? Is it because Ace Ventura 4 Pet Detective versus Prime Direct directive was so good

yeah hollywood writers know that they're shit out of luck they're like pull the plug oh yeah writer's strike is coming up yeah yeah it's like this won't stand yeah uh no i mean i think the one thing that like got my attention was when a lot of the like leaders in ai like in the development of it that like pioneered a lot of the like leaders in ai like in the development of it that like pioneered a lot of the stuff we're like yeah you may want to just we need we need to think about how quickly this is developing before it has like general intelligence and is able to teach itself like a human does and then you know then they're like think of just how much better bot based propaganda is going to be and like it's like from for purposes of like political

messaging or these other things that we're still not sure like what it's going to do that's what i'm like oh i can see that but right now i'm just like what the fuck like it's passing this like it diagnosed a one in a hundred thousand medical condition uh and then they're like there's doctors being like it is pretty good at that it just, it's also kind of dumb too, but it's just sort of, I think remarkable, like the amount of intelligence that's going to just sort of be readily available to people. Um, but yeah, I don't know. I mean, that's what I'm like, I'm willing to be like, what's how, what's it going to do?

Cause I can, I see that it can do a lot, but when will it be sort of like applied in that way? We're like, oh, this is absolutely fucked up has there ever been in the history of humanity a technological innovation where they were just like that's progress but that's too much progress and we're just gonna like hold off for now like during world war ii like they blamed a lot of the rise of fascism on the innovation of the loudspeaker yeah like the guy who invented the loudspeaker, like blamed himself for the rise of Hitler. He was just so loud.

You couldn't tune him out. He couldn't stop making all kinds of crazy points, but you couldn't shut it out. Like, I'm just wondering, is like, is there anything to be done other than just like work really hard to figure out how to use the AI to counter the propaganda that's being generated.

More than that, too, right? It's like, how much of it is done that we're actually looking at a future where, if we're going to get this kind of massive efficiency at this scale, then what does that say about human labor? And what are we pivoting to? Because you can already see people beginning to use it more and more. It's not quite getting to the levels where whole departments departments are being replaced but we we see how capitalism works like if they're like oh yeah i can slash budgets because i know three people that knows how to use chat gpt really well that's where i'm like

are we actually figuring out where this is headed and super producer brian is now just saying he's like what if if the ai is not aligned with human needs to begin with, that's where a lot of problems can begin to show themselves because it's, you know, it's going to be able to, like, learn things like a human does. I think the scariest ramifications are going to be, like, in the world of these deep fakes. And, like, you're kind of already seeing it. It's like, once deep fakes become, you know,

indistinguishable from reality, which to the naked eye i mean we're in like a post reality post-truth world anyway but like once deepfakes are to the point where you can't really discern if it's you know generated or not then it's like there's gonna be total chaos at some point yeah maybe the first thing will be like a ai version of like the war of the world's radio play yeah someone will release something to the internet that, you know, looks real and there's no way to tell it's not real. And it'll take a long time or like a few days will pass before enough.

People are like, it's not fucking roll. My God. Or political blackmail. You know, there's lots of fun stuff you could use it for. I was shocked that Trump didn't move quick enough to just claim the access Hollywood tape.

A deep fake. He doesn Hollywood tape was a deep fake. He doesn't know what a deep fake is. He doesn't know what that is. He could have at that point. Yeah. That was my first thought when I heard it, though, was he's going to claim this is a deep fake. Anyways. All right.

Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about gun control. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have Followed. Together, we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films and LA-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades. Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high-control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine. Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new, chilling first- firsthand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives. Forgive Me For I Have Followed will be more than an exploration.

It's a vital revelation aimed at ensuring these types of abuses never happen again. Listen to Forgive Me For I Have Followed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Listen to Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Do you ever wonder where your favorite foods come from? Like what's the history behind bacon-wrapped hot dogs?

Hi, I'm Eva Longoria. Hi, I'm Maite Gomez-Rejon. Our podcast, Hungry for History, is back. Season two. Season two. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? Okay. And this season, we're taking an even bigger bite

out of the most delicious food and its history. Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these things. We have, we think, Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.?

I didn't realize how old the hot dog was. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. So, in response to the recent Nashville school shooting, which was the big shooting before the Louisville school shooting, Ted Cruz reintroduced his Securing Our Schools Act,

which will call for cops in schools which i'm i'm assuming would be less fun than when arnold schwarzenegger did it in the early 90s kindergarten cop we can only hope we can only hope that's that's what it's like so that's best kit we've seen best case scenario who is your daddy and what does he do imagine him like in the LA public school. And he's like, John Kimball. Like, oh my God. Oh, tumor.

Have a head. Ask. Sit down, you fucking loser. Head ass. Um, but Ted Cruz's plan is basically to fix mass shootings, not with gun control laws,

but with more guns and police. And he used banks as an example of how we should be treating kids because what kid wouldn't want to go learn to read and write in a bank vault like environment so obviously since the next big mass shooting was in a bank everyone is publicly mocking ted cruz because it's just literally 10 days after he was like, we just need to be more like banks, everyone. But this is all coming out at the same time as a report from Hugh and the CDC that says the gun deaths among us kids increased 50% between 2019 and 2021.

Um, this is like massive, like it shot up. And this is at a time when gun ownership and just the amount of guns in us homes shot up. So gun deaths of all sorts are rising. Gun suicides are way up because gun ownership is way up. And,

you know, as I've talked about numbers of times, like guns cause suicides like there's a one-to-one correlation between like you're more likely to have a suicide in your house if you have a gun in your house like this goes back to other like the british coal gas study which i'm mocked for bringing up all the time but it's but it's about means reduction. Means reduction, exactly. And just taking the opportunity, like suicides oftentimes are crimes of passion

and crimes of opportunity committed against oneself. But it's also, you know, there's also plenty of evidence that that's true of homicides. You know, the homicides that we see in TV shows that are carefully plotted out the exception. And usually it's somebody having the worst day of their life and having access to a gun. There's also a bunch of like really troubling data that they are able to point at, but not actually report about gun injuries from emergency rooms because the gun industry and gun lobbies have made it impossible.

They only have this data going back to the late 90s because the gun industry has been making it almost impossible for them to collect data on gun injuries and gun deaths because they have massive amounts of money and that's what makes things happen is whoever has the most money. massive amounts of money and that's what makes things happen as whoever has the most money and the gun industry has way more money than the cdc so we're working with limited data sets still but it's pretty clear cut gun ownership causes gun death it's really that simple gun ownership went up because the gun industry is constantly marketing itself uh to people and you know making shit loads of money off of selling guns to people it's the homer simpson beer quote uh guns the cause of and solution to all of life's problems yeah and that's just kind of the loop we're in and

there's also another poll or like study that came out from the kaiser foundation that just talking about like the effect on people that all this gun violence has had. Like they talk about how one in five say they have personally been threatened with a gun. OK, like just one in five. Right. One third of black adults and Hispanic adults, around 33 percent, say they worry either every day or almost every other day or almost every day about themselves or someone they love being a victim of gun violence compared to one in 10 and white adults because the other thing is too this also disproportionately affects communities of color especially black people and one in five

black adults and hispanic adults uh feel like gun related crimes deaths and injuries are a quote constant threat to their local community which and that is only around eight percent uh with white adults then when you talk about like the effects it has on people's behaviors, right? 84% of US adults say they have taken at least one precaution to protect themselves or their families from the possibility of gun violence, including talking to their kids or family about gun safety or purchasing a weapon other than a gun. About a third, 35% of people said they've avoided large crowds such as music festivals or crowded bars and clubs to protect themselves or their families

from the possibility of gun violence. Three in 10 have purchased a gun to protect themselves or their family from the possibility of gun violence. Yeah. Which is the one part of this that people can make money off of. And in America, that's the one thing that gets emphasized and raised to the surface and, you know, uh, put on steroids is whatever the thing that money, money can be made off of.

And the purchase of guns as the solution to fear of guns is, it seems to be the only, uh, option that people know of that they're aware of uh that really seems to because everything else you're just told like well you can't take guns away from people because everybody will just flip out um but so then you should buy more it's worked in other countries before there's no reason like it's going to take years and probably like massive changes, but it's, it's happened before. And I don't see why I know people who like grew up in

the Midwest and the South, they're like, yeah, nice. Like that, that's just you being ignorant. But I think everybody thought that in those other countries. And then, you you know there was an event that was bad enough to change people's opinion so yeah well based on how we problem solve in this country once uh these stats are like 99 of people have been threatened with a gun maybe then something will happen because right now especially when you look at the disparity between the threats of gun violence between certain populations and you know if that only eight percent are affected but they're controlling you know 85 of the policy decisions yeah you you understand why that like there's just a complete disconnect from what the actual you know threats to our safety are and

their willingness to do it because yeah it's such it's so fucking cowardly to not even attempt to do something about it and just use the argument like well what are you gonna do you know i just i guess treat it like a bank yeah more guns i think is the all everything that we just talked about i think the answer is more guns or a robocop type scenario i don't know ask chat gpt what it thinks yeah exactly get get the ai in here i'm a huge uh john wick fan but i have to take this opportunity to say that movies like the John Wick franchise, they make guns look a little too cool. Yeah.

Love a bit of gun food. You know what I mean? Got a new term for it. Yeah. I like how they're like, but here's the thing, man, we don't use like blanks like on our sets.

We don't even have to do that. I think it's like the way they're, they're like, we're a little bit more forward thinking for a film that has a ton of gunplay in it right put those in a post you know what i mean all right and we we have this harvard mckinsey alum in san francisco who i think is part of another trend we're seeing uh which is oh yeah wealthy seemingly well-intentioned upper class people showing their true colors and being insulated enough to be like,

what? What? I'm just saying the Klan was onto something. Okay, I didn't use the words Klan, but come on. Why am I being... Now I'm being lynched just because I said we should bring back lynchings. So, yeah. This week's

winner is Michelle Tandler, which sounds like a bizarro version of Michelle Tanner, like in Full House, if she grew up in another dimension and became this person. But she's currently living in hell, a.k.a. San Francisco, in her mind. And she decided that Easter Sunday would be a great opportunity for her to go into full clan mode. She tweeted this. Our society seems to have become seriously complacent a hundred years ago in san francisco people were publicly hung for their crimes often by vigilante groups that wanted to send a message the hangings worked crime would plummet after a few of them often for many months at a time a few questions on my mind this morning

what changed that the men of San Francisco went from creating vigilante groups to being afraid to even tweet about crime? And what would happen if a few meth dealers were publicly hung? Well, that's an interesting idea, Michelle Tandler. Hangings work. Hangings

work. Say what you will. Say what you will. They work. I'm just saying. I'm going off of just very anecdotal evidence because i'm reading the book barbary coast about the fucking gold rush era in san francisco and i'm leaving out the context that these vigilante groups again we let we hate adjectives don't we or we don't hate to be specific you're talking about the ku klux klan and their rise to prominence in the bay area during this time like in and this is like in the beginning of the century and so she she like wanted to clear the fucking record and she's like

i only brought it up because i read a book about stuff like lynchings and things and it worked in there so i thought maybe it would be applicable here okay sheesh what the fuck sorry um and again you're still not convinced because she this the wild thing. She kept doubling down, especially when other people were like, this is a disgusting take. Also, what are you even saying? And pointing out all the logical fallacies in what she's talking about.

She goes on to say, quote, imagine this scenario. It's 1230 a.m. and your dog woke you up because it needs to go to the bathroom. You walk outside and sleepily shuffle down the street in your slippers. Suddenly, you spot a man, half naked with a comforter draped over him stumbling out of the park toward you what do you do what um does she think people's answer to that is gonna what do i do i don't know

i don't know i bet i think my first thought is there needs to be more public housing and programs for people that didn't go to Harvard. Yeah. You know? Yeah. We should bring back public executions for Harvard and McKinsey alums. Yes. Did you see that motherfucker, like Republican donor who they just renamed Harvard like School

of Science after this motherfucker? They love naming buildings after evil guys that's like a top activity i know we're harvard they're all named after evil guys it's just we have to keep doing it it would be weird if we used the good guy but that's what's like so wild right is like she assumes most people's first thought would be that oh yeah this destitute person needs to get murk yeah yeah like or what or i don't know what i don't even know what that's the example that she used the prophecy like what what what conclusion are we supposed to go like what do i do i don't know i mean like if you're

fearful then go back inside or something but call your local vigilante leader he'll deal with it yeah call your local grand wizard and he'll wizard him away with his kkk powers you know what i mean oh or it's called lynching so i don't know like so like she again she goes on and on she then she went it's like oh wow i didn't realize my tweet would get such a create such a stir check out my podcast yeah no guess what that's like her her company is like some kind of like leadership audio something or rather of course it is um but yeah she kept bringing up the hard left and i guess she didn't realize that she was basically reading from the same script as other violent racists have in the past about like a call to arms to be like i mean how long are we going to let these freed black

people just run amok in our town and then you get lynch mobs and shit someone's got to do something right and it's like it's just again we've got another fed up person that thinks like the difficult discussion because she brings up she's like people just don't want they'd rather virtual signal than have this difficult discussion like so this difficult discussion in trying to solve a drug epidemic and the unhoused crisis um is like about determining whether or not they have the right to live right this is this is the mckinsey mindset this is what they're teaching them 100 distill it down to a spreadsheet and figure out like well i'm looking at data lynch mobs worked in the past maybe that i'm looking

at some graphs here and uh and i'm like yeah and you're merely just pointing out a sequence of events you're not necessarily being like yep that's causation and it's all there we got it all uh and again it's like with the way these people think we see it across the board when it comes to like these kinds of issues that are about you know having some empathy and also recognizing that maybe you have resources that could be shared better if you're like hyper wealthy and i don't know how wealthy this person is but it sounds like she's speaking for like the wannabe billionaire millionaire set around her like it's just such a sounds like she's speaking for like the wannabe billionaire millionaire set around her.

Like it's just such a zero sum game that like the thought of progressive taxes is so scary that the alternative is to debate not whether or not they should be giving more, but whether or not these are humans. They're like, ah, no, fuck that.

Let's debate whether or not they should deserve to live. I'm not, I'm not here to talk about taxes. We need to figure out if they're people first up. Yeah. McKenzie. It's good group good good company turning out top minds fucking crazy hitting you with the lynch mob takes like come the fuck on but here we are uh all right let's take a quick break we'll be right back.

Oh. So they're celebrating because Charlie Kirk says,

Mario Brothers just grossed $377 million, a new record for animated features, despite John Leguizamo boycotting the film because it messed up the inclusion casting two white men. That's a good Charlie Kirk voice. He does sound like that. Nintendo refused to let Mario Brothers go woke. I've never heard him speak actually but i assume oh he's the most in his voice is so infuriating he sounds like a guy who you're like oh you're a coward like i can hear it

in the way you speak like you okay go ahead i was doing uh soft ben shapiro there that was my oh yeah it seems like charlie Charlie Kirk is just Ben Shapiro with tiny little teeth. Charlie Kirk's more like... Ben Shapiro, he's just waiting. No, no, no. Steven Crowder, the anti-woke Super Mario Brothers movie just set a global

record. They just need a win, I guess. Yeah, what? This is sad. This is my favorite. Jack Posobiec tweeted, the original creator of to win, I guess. Yeah, what? This is sad. This is my favorite. So Jack Pasobiak tweeted, The original creator of Mario, Miyamoto, was heavily involved with the production of the animated film and insisted that it

have as little plot as possible and just feel like one of the games. Okay, that's a cool fact. And then he second paragraph, it has no woke narratives and all the characters are exactly like the original game so i'm somehow not having a narrative is a anti-woke decision that is just so funny like clearly he's mis misinterpreting this quote where this guy shigeru miyamoto is like

i think it'll have the most broad appeal if we get to the basics which is to make it feel like the video game and not have a ton of plot that maybe people have to follow and i just like that think it'll have the most broad appeal if we get to the basics which is to make it feel like the video game and not have a ton of plot that maybe people have to follow and i just like that they take that and go it's because he's anti-woke come on miyamoto bring it home um this is all very funny because coming into the movie the big narrative was the mario movie was too woke because princess peach is a girl boss who saves the day. And the movie features Mario Kart's Rainbow Road, a.k.a. Pride Flag Nonsense. Just when you thought the culture war couldn't get any stupider.

Yeah. Yeah. Here we go, baby. They're on it. Yeah. The woman who I think we're referencing this one woman who was on her live stream talking about how Princess Peach is causing this boss bitch stuff. It's like, it's going to get women killed. They're going to get into a cart of some kind, and they will be speeding off down a road that's suspended in space somehow that's made of merely rainbow light.

They're like, no, all this like bad-ass bad bitch feminism. They're going to start thinking like, you know, if, if shit goes down, they're going to think,

Oh, I can start fighting this guy or I can handle this turtle shell. No, you're wrong. You better find a red one. So it knows it's seeking its enemy. I don't, I don't trust you with a loose green shell.

And I don't know if your aim's that good, but like, that was like the whole, like one of the takes was just like, yeah, women are going to think that they are now John Wick and it's going to get them killed. And this is the future liberals want, folks. They want to kill women this way. Princess Peach, who is portrayed as a fierce leader that can and will defend her kingdom. Next to her, some are saying that Mario, who seems to be just a normal guy at the

start of the movie is bumbling and pathetic while peach is a girl boss who saves the day that is something that like seemed evident from the trailer is that mario is pathetic and like kind of uh they seem to be emphasizing that he was like kind of a dipshit he's mario you know what i mean that's fun like that i love that so that but yeah so i can see how if this movie had tanked they would have been all over the well they just want to ruin our family values by making a man who gets beat up and a woman who's tough um but of course it went the other way and they need a win they need a culture win bad so then are they now they're like wait it's gone woke now like they're like just like the whiplash of the takes now they're like yeah good for them they're like wait

i haven't has anyone come back around to be like actually it turns out it is kind of woke so never mind i think they're no i think they're just they were complaining it was woke before it came out and everyone went to see it but but they are so desperate for a pop culture line win after, after Ben Shapiro released his like three movies last year that made, I think they broke a record for the least money made by like one of the movies that had, um, the MMA fighter who got canceled.

Gina, Gina Corona. Yeah. They like, um the mma fighter who got canceled gina gina carana yeah they like they released a movie starring her and it made the least money that a movie has ever made that was like again movie theaters and so they are desperate for any sort of cultural relevance so they sit back they wait to see how a movie does, and then they graft their political opinions on the ones that do well. The Nintendo guys should just fuck with these guys

and just come out and just be like, Toad is trans. I don't know what to tell you. You guys didn't get that from the movie? He's definitely trans. You didn't know that? Oh, wow. Okay, I thought you guys were supporting that.

Yoshi's polyamorous. Ethically, but polyamorous. Yes, obviously, obviously. But I guess, yeah, it, it, it must be really hard to just like think,

just take L after L and like the culture war that like, they really want to be like, they just, they so badly want like their, I mean, I don't know, fucking avatar. You should be like avatar and go back to those colonial narratives.

Like, don't you like that? No, maybe not. I don't know. It's about a guy who thinks he's he's trans species it's all fucked up like oh fuck off please that's why it was only the fourth biggest movie of all time jesus and now they're telling them that they can't sing at the Bodyguard musical. This is great. This fucking rules. So there's a stage.

Like you could tell me there's a stage musical adaptation of any movie and that it's good at this point. And I'm just like, yeah, that totally makes sense. So there is one for the Bodyguard. It's apparently very popular. It's making the rounds in the uk at uk theater destinations and people are having a hard time not singing over the actors oh man it's i didn't this is so funny because there's another like viral thing like that was on tiktok recently about like people holding up signs at concerts and just like the general like what is etiquette anymore at a show like can you unfurl a gigantic banner that prevents people two rows behind you from seeing

the fucking stage or can you scream at the top of your lungs during a fucking musical because you want to you think you can sing whitney houston better than the people in the fucking i think theaters should be more rowdy so i'm actually supporting these people i i think theater should be more rowdy. So I'm actually supporting these people. I think people should be unfurling banners at cats. Like, get the fuck out of here, Mr. Mistoffelees. I want the crowd. I want the crowd routing up for theater. You know, we got to have one of those shows. Like, do one that's a sing-along show for the profoundly drunk.

You know, Shakespeare shows. Everyone was drunk. Everyone was rowdy. The rich guys were getting blowjobs up in the top things. It was raunchy. It was real, baby. Bring that back. People on the floor seats, they were doing their thing too.

Yeah. The orange girls were selling sex. I mean, it was a sordid type of vibe. I say bring it back. Do you see the clip though? How much of a fucking disruption this thing was i i do want to know it like it's been described as a mini riot i i personally like have you ever been at a concert and like been singing along and people kind of tell you to

shut the fuck up no i mean if ever it's been so loud that like i would possibly sing i get in a theater that's different than being like in an outdoor concert maybe they're just getting swept away in the bodyguard narrative you have to let these people be transported it's called the willing suspension of disbelief it's why we go to the theater i got i got shamed at a radiohead concert in my early 20s because i was like too drunk at a radiohead concert what song what song let's hear it i don't remember which song it was but i just remember the person looking at me and just like giving the most like some fucking nerd yeah like stage scoff could you not yeah could you yeah i believe they said something directly to me couldn't couldn't help myself but

that is i mean the the one time i've at like shamed somebody uh during like a performance was i was watching nine inch nails and this guy was juggling like led ball like light up balls next to me yeah i've mentioned this before like, for so long, that's public execution territory. Like the music's fucking, you're hearing like head drag, drag them up, draw and quarter them. Yeah. And I'm like,

he's playing piggy right now. They don't do this live that often. Put your fucking toys down. You fucking herb. This isn't a rave. No, it was. And it was tight,

man. Like I, I wanted to get up close. Like I had never seen them and I've always wanted to see like, you know, nine inch nails, like, you know,

my like nineties kid thing. And like, so we're like smushed up pretty close. Like I had never seen them and I've always wanted to see like, you know, nine inch nails, like, you know, my like nineties kid thing. And like, so we're like smushed up pretty close. And this guy's needs like elbow room to juggle these balls. You got to see how good he is at juggling. That's the main thing. That's what he did. It was kind of wild.

Like, I'm not joking. Like, this is what he looked like the whole show. Just watching the stage. He was just, he was on so many drugs. He wanted Trent to see him and to

connect. Hey, you, bro! Get up here! We're about to do Head Like a Hole. We've been looking for something to add to our show, and you've got it, man. What's your name, man? My name's Brent. Hey, give it up for Brent, everybody. Yeah, thank you so much,

man. I've been juggling for about 15 years. I'm really glad to be here. That's exactly what he wanted. He thought it was going to happen. There is something with people who get locked into juggling. When I used to run, there would be people who did entire marathons while juggling the whole time. For no real reason. I get it.

You have a nine-track mind. It's like knitting or something yeah that's not good it's just their mind needs that but i think that is kind of like why like on some level right i think that's why it's kind of relatable when people do sing at concerts but then like there's that fine line between like this is so enjoyable for me and like i just want to feel like i'm connecting with like the music that i'm always just singing by myself or whatever and then there are the people who i think are doing the thing we're like watch me fucking crush this and everyone around me is going to be like oh my god you should actually

be in the fucking play i mean when i was singing at the radiohead concert i did have my back to the stage and i was standing on the seats directly in front i I was projecting really hard. I got to hit the back of the room. Stop yelling. Wait, the bodyguard song is the, I will always love you song. Yeah. Among others,

but that was where it hit. If you hear that song, when that fucking note kicks into overdrive, what are you not going to try? I mean, come on. I don't know. That's not,

and you're going to try it. I would, I know I I've looked, I've done it many times since uh since time immemorial i've been singing that song but that part of me knows i sing so like i there's no way i could do it justice that at that point it is more enjoyable for me personally it's more pleasurable to hear someone else sing it and i'll mouth along but i don't need to fucking be belting it out that's yeah but that's my own song in heart that's where absolutely all right well this is in the uk right so that means everyone is hammered

we need hammered and they have intermissions at with gin bars so you go and get more drunk during intermission that song's probably at the end i don't know the show anyone no just no just just a gin mill i went to see, I saw Glass Menagerie in London, and it was the first time I'd seen theater in London. And I was like, oh, this is cool. The amount of gin that was being drank pre-show and during the intermission, I was like, oh, I get why people fuck with that.

The intermission is designed to get more drunk. That's why all British shows have an intermission. Like, British stand-up comedy shows have an intermission is designed to get more drunk. That's why all British shows have an intermission. Like British stand-up comedy shows have an intermission. So if they've got more drunk. Go re-up. Go re-up real quick. Right. Yeah, exactly.

So we got to factor that into this whole thing. But are we, as Americans, if we were getting fucking shit hammered and then had this stuff go on, I wonder how violent it would get to. Well, Americansicans you'd be worried someone would shoot you you know you're like you know nothing nothing can stop a solo that like a good guy with a gun you know as we as we all know as ted cruz has famously said yeah they don't have guns in england no one's gonna get shot in there over this just really stern looks it's wild though that they brought the house lights up like it was

they cut the mic that's wild the actor playing whitney houston's role they cut her mic the lights came up the people who were singing in the crowd were thrown out of the show who comes out to yell at you like the director like the stage manager with the clipboard who they sent out there please please they have signs up everywhere that say, please refrain from singing along at this theater. It's just such a problem. That song is... There's something about it

that it just brings out your inner Whitney. I like that, though. There used to be riots. In turn-of-the-century New York, there were these famous riots over plays because one actor was cast over another actor. Back was like back in the day theater would inspire these passions people writing over a play it was like a famous thing like let's let's bring that back let's let theater get people stirred up again you know right right right they used to riot over hats there you go

yeah the straw hat riots maybe we just need to be rioting more like look at the french they try to raise the retirement age one year. The French just throw a flaming oil barrel through a cop car immediately. We need that French mindset. Yeah. I mean, yeah, we're all too busy working, but maybe with the advent of AI.

Yeah. Maybe these robot dogs can lighten my workload a little bit. I can go throw a brick at a play. Your robot dog can take your actual dog for a walk at night, so you don't have to worry about being frightened by somebody in a comfort area. By a man in a blanket.

Right. So that was clearly based on something that happened to her that was the most terrifying thing that had ever happened to her. You know she loves robot dogs. Harvard, McKinsey. She's a big robot dog advocate.

She's like, put the guns on the dogs. Pro robot dog for sure. Again, as long as I don't have to deal with it. I don't want to have anything look, if it's up to me, I would get rid of them all. I think it's kind of like how these people are thinking. And finally, big news. You can order Domino's

pizza with a touch of a button while speeding down the street in an suv they're introducing a new feature that will allow you to order pizza via apple's carplay display so you don't even have to stop continuously burning fossil fuels while ordering greasy slabs of bread and cheese great dough we love the new crust though love the new i love the new crust just do it on your phone while you're driving like what are we gaining here in functionality too much of a distraction you can't hold your car oh but your computer screen on your car carplay is fucking dangerous yes of course look and i'm not trying to look put myself on blast

i'm way better at finding the music i need to on Spotify on my phone than I am on CarPlay. And I'm looking at it while trying to... It automatically takes over your thing and then you can't. It's just an extra interface to get used to. Also, that means the pizza tracker will come up on your car computer through CarPlay. And you'll be too busy watching the pizza tracker go. You'll be like computer through car play and you'll be too busy watching the pizza tracker go you'd be like oh he's making it now he's picking it up you're gonna fucking slam into someone right you know the tragedy would be that you have a terrible accident

with the delivery person pizza tracker on your car they're like ah poor bastard he's dead he'll never get to get the deluxe pepperoni it's being delivered to his house right now seen it a hundred times yeah i mean people have expressed concern about apple's car displays because they have the potential to distract drivers just as much as iphones one possible feature reportedly involves carplay's display being projected onto the windshield itself because the the idea is then you don't have to take your eyes off the road you can just be distracted by the thing by your actual windshield much worse idea yeah just the most shallow depth

of field as you drive you're like i'm only literally looking what's on my windshield now i was in an uber the other day and a guy just put on a movie on the ipad that he had right there and i i thought that was very bold. While he was driving? While he was driving. He pulled off and then just started the movie. It was Die Hard 2. And I was like, you know what? I'm going to let him rock. Yeah. Let him cook. Die Hard 2 is good. I'm going to let him cook.

Let him cook. He's like, oh, you like the deep cuts, huh? He's like, yeah. Like, all right, let's get in a wreck together. When he stabs that dude with the icicle? Come on. Oh, yeah. icicle come on yeah when the cops come for that they're gonna be so confused he's like this man carl he's like handing you popcorn in the back we did not talk we did not talk i just like silently nodded i was like i'm gonna let this happen we'll see where this goes i remember i put a a TV screen in my Honda Prelude when I was in college.

And in the most brute force way, because I had been pimp my ride-brained into being like, you know what? My dusty Prelude just needs a seven-inch screen on it with a DVD player. And I would watch, the only DVD I kept on there was disc two of season two of Arrested Development. And I was just watching arrested development like while driving and i was like what's up like i was picking up people like a girl on a date and i was like yeah that's a right there she's like she gets it like

pretty good episode pretty good one and then she's like it's hot in here i'm like i can't actually access the air conditioning control because the screen has been drilled onto that part of the dashboard so we're gonna just have to roll the windows down mom but guess what you can get whatever you want a cheesecake factory is weird the promotional video we'll link off to in the footnotes uh it makes it seem like the so it's a father a wife and the passenger and two daughters in the back and they're waiting in a drive-through and then they're like fuck this let's order dominoes and the only way to do that of course is through the car right exactly stop waiting in line at drive-thrus just to place an order use the dominoes app on apple carplay instead dominoes yes
