But we just took them down as courtesy of the Discord. Just trawling the Discord seas. Yeah, yeah. Pulling up whatever comes up in these nets. Big shout out to all y'all. We got a huge list. What's the Price is Right theme song? Yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah okay yeah i had like one my first experience of depression was one summer when

uh my i think it was like summer camp was canceled or something happened where my sister and i were just home together like while my parents were like working so we would just like wake up and watch prices right and drink diet diet orange soda and it was like really and like we were at that point where we were like fighting a lot and it was just how old were y'all uh i think like nine maybe i was like nine or so this This is you versus MC Shan? MC Shan. Damn. The guy. That sounds like an interesting life when you're a kid.

Drinking diet soda as a kid is a weird vibe. Yeah, it was weird. It feels wrong. It feels all kinds of wrong. Felt wrong at the time. All right, let's tell the people, Moss. What's trending? There's some exciting news.

All Warner Brothers releases are coming to HBO Max same day as theatrical release. Yeah, I mean, this is big. This is probably very bad for movie theaters. At least for the foreseeable

future. I don't understand. What? What is it? How? Matrix 4, Space Jam. future well i don't understand what how what so like dune uh matrix 4 space jam like the this release first of all made me realize all the movies i was looking forward to are from warner brother i was like wait is anybody else making movies that are coming out right right i was on deck this year yeah but like all these movies they're going to drop the same day that they hit theaters, they're going to drop on HBO Max for no additional money. Oh, fuck yeah.

I mean, this is just... But that's fucking the theater. That is a death to theaters. Death to theaters, death to... I don't know, man. This seems like they're just trying to lock in as many streaming subscribers as they possibly can while the pandemic is happening, but it just seems like it's setting a precedent where like you know

content is free now yeah like everything is a loss leader that and they'll just be i think the way they'll probably do it is like oh yeah it's only in 360p right that's the actual definition you're gonna watch it's in standard def so i maybe you'll I mean, it's there if you want to watch the Matrix 4 in fucking VHS quality, but you know, you might want to go to the theater. It's like the cameras that used to be on flip phones. Like that's the quality that it is. When they're like.3GP video. What the fuck is that?

Dune.3GP. Okay. Sure. But yeah, movies like that, Dune,une matrix it's the same thing with like tenant i i don't have to see it right away i want to see that shit in a theater yeah so it's weird how i'm not moved i will i mean don't get me wrong i'll catch space jam at home like oh for sure theater but like matrix 4 look i'm still under woman 84 in my head in my mind yeah i gotta see that in the theater yeah i mean this must have this must be like at least partially because borett too had a successful like launch on amazon prime like they must be seeing uh some success with

these movies dropping on on streaming services right if this is like the new conventional wisdom. I think Mulan probably did pretty well. There was some, one of these film podcasts had a meme that was like, HBO Max, like, we're dropping every movie on our streaming service in 2021. And then they just did that meme of the old man where it just says,

and it says, movie theaters, and it's this old man saying, I guess I'll just die. Oh, God. Sorry. and it says movie theaters and it's this old man saying i guess i'll just die oh god like yeah sorry uh yeah oh god everything's changing man everything's changing man i hope the theaters don't die man i still love a movie i mean where are you gonna go you still need a basically a communal living room to make out in for your first time. For the adolescents, you need a place to when you don't have the imagination for a date, let's watch TV in a movie theater, basically.

We depend on the theater. Let's go see Jurassic Park for the fifth time. I will watch every time Jurassic Park is re-released, I will watch it in the theater. I caught that shit in IMAX 3D a couple years ago. Not that great. It was a conversion, right?

Yeah, yeah. It wasn't the way God intended, but either were dinosaurs coming back to life, so catch me if you do. Yeah, yeah. 3D will find a way.

Okay. Ivanka Trump is trending because... For a couple reasons, I think. I think this is a case of overlapping stories. There's the fact that she released

an email that she sent back in 2016 that asked you know the board at Trump to use market pricing to when determining like what to charge people for staying at or using

the Trump hotel during the inauguration. She's being investigated for doing illegal shit during the inauguration. And people are pointing out that the fact that she was put in a, like, large central decision-making position for her father's inauguration is in itself, like like shockingly corrupt because like she was recently ordered to make to take remedial financial training courses uh because of like the shit she pulled with the trump organization where it was scamming like legitimate charities like they were like okay i guess you have to go to like business 101 like business ethics

for toddlers because it doesn't like it just they are really bad um and then there's also she's also trending because there are flyers going up all around new york city that are uh not wanted posters yeah those like comedians are throwing those up? Yeah, I kind of like it though. Yeah, you love to see it. Yeah, you gotta let people know. Like there's, you gotta let people know they're pariahs and that there's consequences for, you know, standing idly by.

Anything that can make her feel just a little less comfortable in her skin, anywhere she goes in the United States, I'm here for. Do you think one of the Trump kids, like, cause they're younger, they know the way the tides are moving they'll be like fuck it i guess i'll just like spike my relationship with with my dad i fucking hate fuck my inheritance i think i stand to do better if i'm like i i break off as like rogue trump by the damage has been done nice try asshole i is but as part

of me think of things that these kids are so opportunistic that eventually like they have to consume each other so i wonder what capacity that happens it won't be her it won't be her because she's been love or whatever yeah she was she was always the central like the one child that her father loved the reasons for that uh very disturbing but she was also always like it wasn't always cool to have Donald Trump as your father, but she always like embraced that shit even when like he was. Even when your income depends on it.

Right. And then, so it's not surprising that she stuck. Don Jr. allegedly was, you know, hated his dad like when he was in college. He's trying to get the love, though.

You see it every day. He still wants love. We all want love. I'm just waiting for Baron to come out and tell the world how he really feels. That dude is tall as fuck.

Yeah. Can you imagine? If he's like, he could like legit, he could ball. That would be trouble. He looks like, like if you just told me that he got drafted for, and like as a player from like a Romanian foreign league. Yeah, I was like Germany. Yeah.

This dude was balling in the German cup. What? Physically hard, hands soft, bro bro you don't know about this kid he's doing wild shit wicked shit on the court yeah 15 icu was trending uh because of the california lockdown there's a new lockdown order that basically says your location, your county is on lockdown. You can't leave the house if your ICUs have any less than 15% capacity available. So if it's like over 85% beds filled in your ICUs, then you can't leave your house. However, on Twitter at Steph Stone pointed out that the new lockdown order is basically just it's illegal to be outside your home unless you feel like doing an activity that either makes or spends money. Oh, yeah. legal to go to the gym like the sweatiest like most enclosed grossest fucking right uh environment

where people still go uh i i that's shocking me but then they're like yeah but you can't walk on the street fuck off what if i what if i make money by walking on the street ha ha ha ha i don't know it's it's all just so fucked up because at the end of the day it's all just sort of like these are rules that we're gonna you know say you have to follow but don't ask us to make this easier or manageable for you or reasonable right and finally supreme is trending uh presumably like pizza orders i'm guessing yeah yeah yeah the the toppings worse no the skate brand from 1994 established 94 the most hyped fucking brand on earth christie's is doing an auction right now like that opened on tuesday where they have all like the rarest supreme hype pieces like from the

louis vuitton collabs that people were going wacky over to the fucking uh like Damien Hurst skate decks all kinds of shit like that so this thing that's trending right now is that they this some young man a fashion student from Vancouver has a collection of Supreme box logo tees and if you know anything about Supreme that you've probably just seen the logo that is in you know Futura bull or whatever that fucking font is italicized that's just a supreme and a rectangle and that's called the box logo yeah right and so there are many versions of this box logo and they become the most hyped pieces every year whether it's the crew neck sweatshirt the hoodie or the t-shirt that's what people want because it's the most like sort of brazen supreme branded shit now this kid he's

21 years old he has 253 box logo shirts and he's basically saying this is one of the most comprehensive collections of these box logo shirts these things like when you try and buy them on the reseller market like stock x or whatever box logos are can go upwards of seven thousand dollars easily for a fucking t-shirt okay and yes yes people wearing that shit all the time yeah because they're stunting on you bro damn somebody exactly no you don't man it's called not being good with your fucking money um so i think that's what's sort of indicative of all this like sort of hype culture in the era of like people having nothing but then we're like it's this weird thing where a 21 year old has 253 t-shirts that

are like valued around 7 000 each christie's will not say what this they're selling this collection but you buy it directly from them it's not an auction they say you got to call them up for the price but the price is over two million dollars what for all these t-shirts that's where how many t-shirts 253 he has and look not some two million t-shirts no 253 t-shirts and he has some rare friends and family ones it's just all you know fucking ridiculous i mean not to let's not forget the supreme like at one point was uh owned by the carl Group. And people know the hype is real, so they want to get in on it. So yeah, $2 million is a lot.

I don't know how this young man at 21 was able to amass all of those t-shirts because unless you know people at Supreme or something, I'd imagine you're going on the reseller market. So right now... I guess that's right because when you divide $ million by 250 it's like 800 8400 so it's like right around what you were saying yeah uh that's just a little back down

math yeah that was quick too yeah did it all in my head so far over there yeah yeah yeah he the the interview he was giving to like cnb said, currently, he's studying business and fashion in Italy. So I suspect that maybe these shirts were maybe procured with funds from a generation above him, to put it like that. Unless his bot game is on fucking just wilderness mode, and he can get anything, anytime, anywhere at retail. But I highly doubt that studying fashion and business in italy in milan you know and he said i really hope he said quote

i hope they don't wear them referring to the t-shirts i've spent so long trying to get these shirts in their best possible condition i think it would be a little bit painful to watch but again whoever does buy it i would totally encourage them to do whatever makes them happy. Man, fuck this dude. Fuck this 21-year-old kid who's about to sell his $2 million t-shirt collection while he's studying fashion in Italy. And then encouraging people not to wear them?

And then what's he supposed to do with them? Whatever. So if you know this young man, let us know. What else do you know about him? What can you tell about him? If you know this young man, let us know. What do we know? What else do you know about him? What can you tell about him? If you know this young man, take dead aim at him and scam him out of his money. Although he seems like he might be a little sharper. He's on his grizzy, too.

So yeah. He gets it. Anyways, shout out to the dum-dum who is buying this collection of shirts. That's what I don't understand. These are fucking shirts. Look, I've showed you all my Supreme hats that I had before we started recording.

I used to be dripping in Supreme from like 2004 to 13. They were like, yo, this young man don't know what to do. Yeah, I didn't with my money either. I was terrible with it and I'm looking at now, all of this shit just went into this illusion of wearing shit to be like, that's me. This logo that is unattainable. Therefore, that will offset my own feelings of insecurity.

And as I got older and, like, got more in touch with who I am, I was like, man, I'm really, I'm chasing fucking dragons with this, like, hype shit. was like man i'm really i'm chasing fucking dragons with this like hype shit uh and to see now like it's at a point where people are like i'll give you two million dollars for the shirts we gotta like i think these are you know these are all sort of symptoms of our really sick hyper consumer culture um that in the midst of all this we're we're looking at just astronomical death and decay across the country, across the world. And then we have these stores like, hey, 21-year-old has $2 million shirts. Hop on in. Somebody got the dough.

Hey, got to let us know about those lotto winners so we aren't paying attention to all the death and shit that's around us. Yeah, and Mitch McConnell basically trying to destroy the economy before Joe Biden gets in office and cause more pain to people. But anyway, hey, hey, hey, what are we here for? The fucking news or something? I don't know. Yeah. All right, guys, that's going to do it for this afternoon.

We're back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Stay inside, I guess. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. We'll be back.

I mean, stay inside if it's not making you money. Right. If it's not making you or anyone else money. If you're on your grizzy, then you know what? Go out there. Hit the streets. Bye. Please take care of each other.
