Hello, the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Seedless Water Trendin. I want courtesy of vanadium silver. I hate the seeds. Water trend or watermelon conversation. I'm telling you.

That's the sound of me after I eat seeded watermelon. And where you hear do, do, do, do, do. That just means watermelon. I'm trying to do. My Nash Jack O'Brien that over there, Mr. Miles Gray. And we hear do, do, do, do that BK dot. Had some progress yesterday. Had some watermelon.

With the seedless watermelon? didn't do anything. He just did the thing where it looked at it and then still ate it. And I'm just not saying anything. I'm like, yeah, yeah,

get the momentum going. Know that the seeds can't hurt you. So he ate a slice of seedless or a slice of seed? He basically has seed, bro. He didn't care. It was seedless watermel.

But you know how I was saying like he doesn't even like the seed, quote unquote, seedless watermelon seeds. The seedless watermelon still has tiny little white flecks. Yeah, yeah.

Those are good for you. Those actually make you grow big and tall. That's, oh, you know how much. big and tall talk. I do, but then I'm like,

I don't need him to be like a size queen. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but all this emphasis being big is shit. Yeah.

Too much emphasis on being big. I'm like, so that's why it's like funny. Like every time, like, I should say something. Yeah, I'm like,

this could fuck him up and lead to therapy. So I'm like, in the shadows. I'm like, yes. Eat this. It's,

which might be creepier. They got little strings in them sometimes, you know? What? They got the little like viney string things in them. I would never say

this in front of the guy's child but don't ever say that in front of my kid bro. I understand where he's coming from. You were always fucking against me what the fuck? I thought we were at there making progress. Miles, we're going to talk about

the election results, but I just want to be the first to congratulate you and welcome you to the Kushner family, brother. The Kushner-Iker family? Bro, oligarchs. All-a-gare. Have their hands.

in fucking everything. I mean, I should have known this. But Arsenal is basically ran on Walmart money from the Cronkies. It's all bad. It's all the way. But all the way up. It's all bad. It's to the point now, like, one of my really good friends Ian and like our friend group, he's

like, bro, if this is for real, I'm out. I'm like, then you're out, dude, because this shit is happening. This is what happens. 12 and a half billion dollars. Billion. For Josh Kush. and Bob Eiger to buy the Lakers. What we're talking about in the world of sports ball.

Yeah. The Los Angeles Lakers were just purchased. They were purchased last year for a record $10 billion by the owner of the Dodgers. Who's in a bit of a pinch right now. He's in a bit of a pickle. And he's being investigated for alleged tax fraud. And so, you know, this is the thing that I've always said is what billion. The skill that they have is they are, they smell blood in the water.

They know they are predators. I mean, they are professional predators. What if, and they sense weakness. What if Josh Kushner, like Bob Eiger's like, Josh, oh man, I'd love to buy the Lakers with you. It's like fucking Walter just, he seems like he's not coming off that thing. And he's like, let me see what I can do vis-a-vis a federal investigation. Not to say Mark Walters, Innocent, but I would also believe that they, would do something like leverage or

you know weaponize the proximity to the presidency to have an investigation in Mark Walter. I mean, he had his phone taken what like it was like two weeks ago and already he's selling so you're like must have been some bad shit on that phone what that mean for Dodgers

also who fucking knows yeah I don't know I was talking to Jabari former producer of bad boosters because you know we're both lifelong Laker fans and we're like God damn what the fuck is this shit. And he's like, you know, he's predicting he's like, he thinks we're probably going

to be entering an era of like state owned NBA franchises and like state owned. Yeah, like, you know how like Saudi Arabia. He's been watching Fox News? No, yeah. The town like, I mean, it's coming for our sports franchises. No, no, I mean nation states. Like, oh, got it. Like, I mean, that would actually be fun. Well, then I was like, then it's going to turn. I mean, not Dubai and Saudi Arabia, but like if Ireland had an NBA teamers love them. No, no, but you know, it's only going to be bad actors who are you looking to sports wash. And then, because his concern was like, if it's like, you're just one degree away from just fully opening the door to all the other sports washing thirsty nations, but.

Yeah. The only foreign nation that this will be owned by is Ivanka Trump's private island. Yeah. I feel like. It's, um, I don't know. This shit's also. I'm so annoyed that I have to know who Josh Kushner is. Like I was reading his Wikipedia today.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, so he went to Harvard and got an MBA and then he made a bunch of investment funds that don't really do shit, but he just happened to be the one who owns. His dad set up his brother-in-law with a sex worker to create black male to intimidate him and his wife, his own. He used that shit against his own.

own sister. His own wife. Yes. You know what I'm saying? Jared Kushner's dad, Josh, like he was blackmailing his sister and her husband.

Oh yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? That's crazy. It's pretty impressive. That's the good stuff. But like in terms of just like finding out who these people are,

it's just like, and then he has a fund called, you know, Thrive Fund. Yeah. It was part of that FIFA fucking, uh, debacle too.

When you're out. Yeah. Like where Johnny Infantino was going to chop up the World Cup for spare parts to sell to Josh Kushner. So a bunch of private investment can come in and fuck up the World Cup. And now it looks like it's going to lead to Johnny and Fantino's demise. We've given control over all the good stuff to the worst people and like the worst people in the most boring way. I mean, like not even. You know, like if this had been the guy who did the blackmail against his sister, I'd be in.

I'd be like, hell yeah. Let's get weird. Like, I want to, I want the drama, but this is just, you know, he's, he's the sion of that. He's the boring son who are like profited from that. Right, right. I like at that and I'm like, oh, we're signing Jalen Brunson. These people are evil, y'all. They have levers.

I mean, yeah, like if he did orchestrate the whole thing, like get the investigation happening to get these, get your boy out, out, Walter, out like that that does bode well for the lakers that yeah you know getting there by any means on i just sign with the nix uh some bad shit might come out about you i could i could burn your mother's house down right oh god i know i mean like i was already like the lakers are already the bad guy in so many people's eyes and now like it's full just tank bro scare these fuckers out of here yeah fuck it 10 years of drought if that's what we got to do to pure to clarify to cleanse the earth, but...

Nah. Yeah, there's no one's safe anymore. It's poisonous all the way down for you guys, unfortunately. Money at this level is being made in anything. It's just, it's an inevitability that... Yeah, it's all bad. Characters like these pop their heads up. The Yankees just got a $2.6 million, a billion dollar investment from private equity.

There's also a story... Did you see the story over the weekend from the Wall Street Journal? But they were like, private equity executives are the new arm candy. because like Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, and Olivia Rodriguez are all dating private equity. Or married to people, right, because I know Reese Withers, but that was like the reason she got so into NFTs. Yeah. And people are like, draw, it's all coming from the arm candy. And this is what happens to you.

You get it, you marry someone who's into private equity and you become the person who gets way too into NFTs. Yeah. Not agree with. Yeah. I feel like, again, we're just not, we're not going. Like, these are the people that we should be naming our hurricanes after and naming our droughts and wildfires after they're not the people who should be. I mean, also, too, we can't let them get away with them simply being the arm candy of Reese Witherspoon. Like, name them.

These people need to have names. Like, they need to be known, like, real bad. Like, we know the Joker and shit. That's why you should know. That's why it's so clever that they're as boring as they are, you know. Right, right. Well, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do, man. I don't know what to do, man.

I don't know what to do, man. Let's talk about the midterm elections. We got some primary results. David Crowley won the Democratic primary for Wisconsin governor, barely beating Francesca Hong by a very narrow margin. 39.8% to 39.4%. she was polling ahead of him heading in to the election. Yep. And therefore it is being hailed as an upset victory.

And even though he like vastly outspent her, seems like, yeah, I don't know. It seems like this one came down to the electability argument. Like his main argument, David Crowley and the exiting governor who like endorsed him. was like, this guy's electable, you know? He's the more electable of the, it's the, it's, they're like, this is the pragmatic choice. Yeah, yeah.

She, you know, I don't, I don't think it was necessary. It was definitely not her like, economically progressive stances and pro-worker stances. I don't, I don't think that scared people off, even though that's how the mainstream media is going to interpret it. No, you know what's, you know how they're writing about it? Oh, yeah. Every single one is pointing to.

to her tweets about canceling Thanksgiving and defunding the police. Like every single they're like, but things shifted in the final weeks as controversy emerged surrounding her takes on, like, you know, her desire to cancel Thanksgiving, a bridge simply too far for some voters. I also, like, I think it's probably, if that played a factor, it's probably not, not that it scared voters off,

but they thought it would scare, know that like game that democratic voters play where they're like well i i don't give a fuck but that's gonna scare like it's how we ended up with biden essentially i'm gonna presuppose i know everything about everyone else's vote yes exactly and then game theory it out from there yeah yeah um but yeah i don't know it it is weird to be in a world where one underdog underfunded you know DSA candidate loses an incredibly close race with the establishment pick and everyone's like, whoa.

Yeah, it's like the way sports journalism works. Yeah, yeah. Where everyone's like, that team should have won. So rather than so that, so then it's just all about like windmilling on them to be like, oh, well, what happened? What happened? What happened? You know what I mean?

But if you look what happened, you got out spent and you narrowly fucking lost. Yeah. So I think if anything, this is probably just the stories are really just about this huge sigh of relief the establishment are like letting out right now. They needed this one. They're like, oh, hell yeah. Especially for the narrative momentum of it all.

You know what I mean? To be like, if that piece fell to, so yeah, a lot of, a lot of interesting shit going around to in, Minnesota. Minnesota. Yeah, Peggy Flanagan.

Yeah, she won. She could be potentially the first Native American. Native American to serve in the Senate don't anyone bring up Elizabeth Warren right now. Don't you dare. Don't you dare. Talk about this. But yeah, she was

going against a establishment pick and she won. So it's weird that we're in a world where left-leaning victories are suddenly expected to be the norm. And when they lose, it's the centrist striking bat. That was the headline. centrist strike back on the front page of the judge report as opposed to a world

that is so progressive as to seem unimaginable one year ago but before Zoran this would be seen like any of these victories would be like wait what the fuck Zoron's victory was seen as wait what the fuck situation right without being like this is actually a precursor

of things to come but yeah so Peggy Flanagan she's going to be running against former sideline reporter Michelle Tofoya, for those of us that remember watching a bit of TV with the sports on the background and hearing that voice. She is a fucking freak. I mean, I don't think she's really standing a chance because Minnesota hasn't elected a Republican to the Senate in like 24 years.

But like Michelle Tofoyer has been saying wacky shit. Like I don't know if you heard of one time she's like, on any given night, about 30% of Californians are homeless. just like just straight-faced. And then like when the gas prices were getting all high, she was trying to like, everything is fine. She's like,

she's like, the way that her answer to dealing with high gas prices, which is saying, just be patriotic and don't use gas if it's so expensive. Good, good line. Good line of reasoning. Go be patriotic.

I think the real code is like, if it's too expensive, just be patriotic and drive less. There you go. Be patriotic. We have to make sacrifice. This is for this war that nobody needed whatsoever. Pick up my kids?

What do you? What? Peggy Flanagan crushed the establishment Democrat pick, by the way. It wasn't even close. Wasn't even leers. So also in Minnesota. Yeah. For the gubernatorial primary.

Yeah. We got House Speaker Lisa DeMuth against Mike Lindell. Yeah. And Donald Trump gave Lindell a big endorsement heading into the first. final days of the election. He said everybody should go out and give Mike a big victory. Mike Lindell deserves

a big win in Minnesota today. He wrote on True Social. Nobody has worked harder and given up so much in fighting for free and fair elections again. So like everything's tied to election truthorism and his like, I mean, Mike Lindel

threw it all away on Trump. I'm surprised Trump is even like helping him out. You know what I mean? He's like, you're a bum. Did nothing. But he's like, this guy really deserves a win, folks. He really put his neck out there.

I saw him smoking krills recently. He fell off, guys. I'm just telling you he could really use something good. Anyway, real sad. And in what wasn't to close election, he got his ass whooped by 11% of points, over 45,000 votes. Well, that's a small margin, I think, Jack.

45. I would contest that if I was. And that is like your opinion, man. Yeah, he, so he is yet to admit defeat. He will not concede. Will not concede. I mean, you should have known the guy who's like, I've got these algorithms that I can put in here that will show you that like was he only had non-evidence. I don't believe election results. And I'm running for it.

So what do you think is going to happen? I'll give you one guess. how I'm going to respond to a fucking election defeat. Yeah. Anyways, he went full Matt Foley on the ground, on the floor, just freaking out, telling people that we're still counting votes. It's the thing that like every, the Republicans always do where they just focus on the votes they are winning. You know?

And just being like, well, we just got 5,000 votes from the new district. He's just manic, dude. Like in this like live stream, he's just on his phone. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on here. Here's the next report, everybody. Hold on. We just gained, we just gained 5,000 votes. And there's two, we gained 5,000 votes, everybody.

And the last 13,000 votes that were counted, we got 5,000, we gained 5,000 votes. So let's think about this. Okay. That means I got like, I don't know, 10,000, and the rest of them got 3,000. If this is a sign, we will have the lead within an hour. Uh-huh. So, did that happen?

They, in fact, did not. If my math is right, we gained 5,000 votes, that means it's 10,000. I don't even, I honestly, I'm not sure what he's talking about in the returns that he was looking at. But, hey, man, love that you stay on brand, you know. seems more likely that he got 5,000 out of 13,000 votes. I was like, so that's... So that's 9,000. What?

If you think about the math. Hold on. Do you know how to count, Mike? Yeah, oh, yeah, I do. Okay, how many fingers do you have? 14,000? You have 14,000 fingers? How many fingers am I holding up? 14,000.

About 13,000 fingers. And then Lindsay Graham's sister, Darlene. Darlene, darling. How about speaking? she did not secure. They were hoping

that she would win outright right away but she's going to have to do a runoff against Ralph Norman. Yeah. And she did say right before

like the results are coming in she was like someone asked her like what do you think about the people saying that you were just like handed this seat? And she's like

oh no I was not handed this seat at all and you're like I mean you were appointed by Governor McMaster. More to say

than just that. I'm sorry. So what did you do? Were you in the fucking lab creating this seat? And then you assumed it, ascended to it once upon completion you were appointed. Oh, no. Yeah, she seems like a real zero. Like, there's not a whole lot going on behind the eyes.

She's perfect for Trump because she's clearly just going to be dupous rubber stamp senator for him. So, yeah, perfect for him. What do people think? Like, is there a chance she loses this thing? I don't know. I mean, it was close. I haven't looked enough at the polling to see it. what the difference is.

But like she definitely, I mean, that clearly helped that Trump backed her. And that means something still in South Carolina. Well, if we have any history to draw on here, having somebody who has, was not polling well,

just enter the race at the last minute always works well. So I'm sure, sure she's going to crush it. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. You've heard the chaos. Now you can see it.

We've played a lot of iconic characters over the years, but today we're showing up as ourselves to tell you about Podlandia, AEO rewatch, our brand new podcast.

And we'll also be joined by the people who helped bring it all to life. Guestores, collaborators, and friends, including director Jonathan Chrysall, the mayor himself,

Kyle McLaughlin, legendary musician Amy Mann, and many more. Kyle is going for it here. You fully improvised, not just words, but a song, a melody. Well, I thought you were all going to write a song. I remember you thinking that. Listen to Podlandia. Ayo rewatch on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, this is Hayes Davenport.

And Sean Clements. We host the podcast, Hollywood Handbook. Every episode we're trying to help our guests improve their careers by mainly focusing on how they can help us improve our careers. The show's famously super accessible so you can easily jump into any of our 650 episodes and understand what's going on. We recommend some of our recent episodes with Ben Stiller. The definition of what is a movie is kind of. kind of changed anywhere too, right? What do you think it is now?

It's images and words being spoken, captured by some sort of technology. Danny McBride. He loves over. Oh, that's fantastic. And you make it on, you make your own. That's great. I call him Terro Reed. It's a good name.

They're all named after cast members of American Pie. Yeah. Oh, gotcha. I call, I don't, I never looked up if she was in this, but I call him Leachy Sobiesky. Yeah. I don't think she was an American Pie. but I still like that. Haven't looked it up.

She was prominent around the same time. Then Mary Steenbergin. Why are you guys talking to me? I'm worried. I'm worried. Why are you talking so down to me that you think I don't understand your little play game? I just really. I get it.

I'm trying to set you up for success here. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On Solita, we share the messy stories of traveling alone as a woman. Your duolingo is not going to come back to you when a man is inside of you. Oh, no. I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like, you smiled at us.

Not a lot of people smile around here. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. So whether you're a solo

travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. All right.

we're further into the dystopian future. ICE is spending $20 million on quote gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks, which is literally just Spider-Man villain tech. Yeah, I mean, so? I love a forced antigram glove, generated low output voltage emitter.

That's so stoop. It's sold by, Compliant technologies. This is, this is like real super villain shit. Compliant technologies. Carceral, fuck you tech.

The ads for it look like the Nintendo Power Glove ads from the 80s. Even like the color scheme, like black and gray. It's just gloves in space with lightning

being like a trite like blue and pink lightning. Remember those little orb like lightning orb like lightning orb lamps we had in the 90s or you put your finger on it and like the little fucking whatever lightning lightning yeah that was like these colors of like like magenta and blue it's like cotton candy lightning

it even has a Nintendo controller on the wrist yeah it does it's really got a little switch little nod to the inspiration yeah um yeah i mean the color scheme kind of looks nintendoish so yeah basically they put they flip a little switch and when they touch you on your bare skin it delivers a painful shock and they're trying to make it seem fun trying to make it seem fun yeah there when they they like developed it and uh debuted at in an oklahoma city jail in 24 and had like the local news reporter gloves zap his cameraman on on camera for fun and the guy was oh okay here we go let's see this jail staff let news crews test out the device let news

This poor cameraman. I know. You know this guy smokes weed. You know what I mean? He's like a camera guy. He's trying to do what he can. He's in Oklahoma. He's doing a top knot.

He's got a fuzzy top knot. You know what? There could be something though. He's kind of like a fucking freak. So he's like, yeah, yeah. Let me see. You get it to me, Daddy. Can, uh, are these waterproof?

What? No. So here he goes. Five photographer, Travis Stewart was a brave. Travis. So take your hands off the table. No, sir. All right.

Oh, shit. His face looked like he got burned. Yeah, I think that's what it feels like. What a fucking dial. He was like, ah, no, don't do that. Can someone come up with the technology of like just a jacket you wear? So like if they fucking touch it, it'll just fucking. It'll reverse the current.

I don't know how shit works. But like this is so fucking. Turn them into a skeletal. that's, you know, like a skeleton inside a black outline, like in a cartoon when somebody gets shocked. Yeah, but what is the exact, like, what's the point, right? Because no one's going to, you're not going to get control because everyone's going to recoil from the paint. Right. So it's just to be like, get back, asshole.

And like, ah, like, is that what it's for? Is it to fucking chase people? It's such a stupid fucking, what the fuck? I don't even. It does seem. does seem not that it seems like it wasn't built

for anything other than the ad with the that looks like a power of little. Yeah, yeah. The cruelty, the feeling of wearing it and being like, I've got lightning hands. Yeah, I'm Emperor Palpatine. Everyone aspires to be him.

But yeah, I guess it's like harder to knock out of someone's hand than like a taser maybe. Is that what they're thinking? just seems like it's going to be so prone to, whoop, I forgot, I forgot I had the switch on on my lightning hands. Oh, you have a pacemaker? Whoops.

Like, what, yeah, I mean, like, again, it's just like cruel, it's like cruelty porn technology. Yeah. I'm surprised, like, maybe after this, I'm like, dude, these gloves are spiky as fuck. The fucking, they're like, it's like squeezing a rose stem or something, man. gloves. It's coming up with shit that'll just like really harm people when you touch them. It's kind of the whole philosophy here at compliant tech.

Compliant tech's shredder suit. It's just the suit that shredder wore. These shoulder pads with blades. Thank goodness we can count on ice agents to follow the devices guidelines which state that the quote device should not be used as punishment against people

merely exhibiting verbal defiance or belligerence or on high risk populations such as children, pregnant women, or elderly or disabled people. What the, hey, we, we legally said it. I don't know. Engineers of the world, please,

make some anonymous posts on how to render this weird technology inert with home acquired goods. I think just that, like full body glove suit, you know? Yeah, like, I think that would work against us because it has to be touching bare skin. So,

right. I think that might be... So what about deer skin? Yeah, or full body deer skin? Yeah. It's fair skin. You're always pitching that. This is the third time you've pitched.

I know. Full body, deer skin. Yeah. As the solution to our problems. Look, Jack, deer skin condoms really didn't take off. They did not. I thought the antlers were a little weird. Yeah.

And it turns out the stitching sort of defeats the whole purpose of any kind of prophylactic device. He sings waterproof, man. I feel like that's a weird guy would say We got the end of Oak Street Coming out this week The guy who made It Follows and beneath the Silver Lake Reservoir Or something A movie title

I've seen the movie I can't remember what it What the title is But you get the idea It's the guy I made that Silver Lake movie With Andrew Garfield And The end of Oak Street It got

It's got an 85% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's got a much lower on Metacritic. It's in the 60s on Metacritic. And I don't know. I don't think it's going to do that well. I don't, I think it's like one of those movie ideas that is just like, they're basically like remixing 80 Spielberg stuff that people are saying it's basically a remix of E.T. And Jurassic Park, which are like two movies I like a lot, but I just like can't.

The poster is like people. and like a like standing against a suburban home with like the silhouette of a T-Rex coming at them? Yeah. So the premise is a street

like a neighborhood like what one street gets transported to a dinosaur era jungle. And then they have to like figure out. It's a fun premise. Yeah. It's just and apparently

they just like kind of hand wave. They're like, well how does that make sense? And they're like, that makes sense. Come on, man. Yeah, yeah. You just watched Fantastic Four. What the fuck, man?

It sounds fun to me. I don't know that they've successfully communicated what the premise is because, yeah, like, the whole thing is, it's a dinosaur movie. Right. And people are saying it's, like, better than any Jurassic sequel. That's what, that's what I would have gone. I would have just been like, this is, like, better. This is a Jurassic sequel, but better. But it has Anne Hathway in it, essentially.

but she's much glory to Arsenal fandom recently she just she became a band or not I mean she joined up like two years ago oh really we claim we claim Manhattan the way yeah yeah that's one of the one of our players from the World Cup came to play in L.A. He went straight to the walk of fame to take a photo of her star yeah like as like reciprocal respect anyway is that what we're calling it reciprocal reciprocal respect I don't even know mutual respect I'm just trying to do some alliteration, bro. No, I know. I feel like that was thirsty as fuck.

He's like, no, I'm just showing respect to a queen who showed respect to me. And turn reciprocity for else. So in addition to the marketing, not really, like I think it's a very solid premise. They didn't quite communicate. they also did a marketing thing last week that kind of sucks. They did an AI-generated

dog podcast. I saw a thing of this and I thought this was a dog. Wait, this is fucking me up now. Because I feel like when I look at this image, I've seen on my scrolls, my infinite scrolls. I feel like I came upon this. Yeah, the dog thing.

So it's basically, there's a dog character in the movie. You know, you would have a dog with the family. Obviously. And the love to be the dog went on a podcast that is apparently just

an AI generated video with AI dogs moving their mouths to people's voices. That wasn't real? No. I know, Miles. You had a lot

riding on this. God damn it. It's kind of like a son of Sam simulator is kind of the idea of the show. At one point, the movie dog recalled, U.M. McGregor was excellent

with treats. Anne Hathway matched him there, but she could scratch behind both years at once. Game over! At which point, all the dogs laugh uproariously. And it's just like, what the fuck am I what, like, what hell universe have I slipped into?

And I can't even bring myself to have that sound hit my brain. Yeah. It's just, fuck. You know what? Fuck it. We're going to hurt our ears really quick. Today's guest ran from dinosaurs. Okay, I'm out.

I just can't even. Jesus Christ. What a fucking abomination. Ram from Dimes. Ran from dinosaurs. The comments are all, I hope all these dogs are euthanized immediately. I'm not seeing this movie anymore. Who thought this is a good idea?

I'm not usually for animal cruelty. You get the idea. Massive backlash to the promotion. That is so funny, man. The shit has dinosaurs in it. I know. it's just like how do you why the fucking

they don't understand how much people who the don't fuck with AI did you see there's like I saw a clip of these like chat GPT did they're like one of their first influencer junkets and like they rented out this cabin resort I think in like Michigan or something

and all these like tech influencers went and we're like posting they're like oh my god like we're at the chat gbt cab like look at this beautiful cabin they're like this luxury hotel and all like they were like all shocked that the comments are like I hope you I hope your fucking soul was worth it you piece of shit and they're like

they're like what? No this is cool. Chat GPT cool and they're like no comment say otherwise comment say fuck you yeah seems unpopular when both the Republican and and Democratic party are hopping on the bandwagon

being like right so fuck these guys right You probably I mean it is kind of like That's when that's when really the The curtain between the two will fall And they'll be like No, we only have each other
