Yeah, thanks for having me. Good to see you guys. You're finally with us, with the whole crew. Because last time I think it was Ify, right? Yeah, it was you and Ify. We've never met Jack. How are you? Great, man. It's great to meet you. Yeah. I've missed you my whole crew. Because last time I think it was Ify, right? Yeah, it was you and Ify. We've never met Jack. How are you? Great, man.

It's great to meet you. I've missed you my whole life. What's that song, Larry? Where have you been? Yeah. What song, Larry? Wait, what? The Call Me Maybe, where it's like, I just met you and this is crazy.

Here's my number. And then there's something about before I met you, I didn't realize how much I missed you or some shit like that. Anyways, that's how I feel about Dave. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we are going to tell our listeners what we're talking about on this season finale. We're going to talk about Matthew McConaughey, as we always do, but he's in the news. So we have an excuse. We're going to talk about what rich people are doing with their money,

whether they're just out there spending or not. We're going to talk about the Democratic field winnowing. We're going to talk about President Trump and Fox and their rocky relationship. Suddenly rocky. We're going to talk all sorts of shit about Disney Plus, the IP bubble, space crime. Space crime. You heard me, space crime.

What? It's happened. It's happening. To cross the Rubicon into space crime. Well, at least we have that Space Force going. Exactly. That's right. I knew that was for a reason.

But first, Dave, we'd like to ask our guest, what's something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Oh, man, literally the most recent thing I searched, I just looked it up, is the phrase radioactivity shirt. It's literally because there's a band called Radioactivity that I like a lot. Oh, okay. it's literally because there's a band called radioactivity that I like a lot. Oh, okay.

And, uh, yeah, I mean, I like a lot of, uh, uh, you know,

semi obscure punk music, you know, and other stuff too. But, but yeah, those bands tend to not have merch that you can buy on the internet. Right. Right.

Every now and then I'll have a like spark in my brain. Be like, maybe they have one now. And I look, you search for a radioactivity shirt and it's generally just like a biohazard logo or just like screenshots from chernobyl or whatever yeah on a t-shirt which could be a shirt yeah just like a melted face right it's like that guy looked directly into the core shouldn't have done it that's what happened to my brain is i pictured the part where they like put all of the uh firefighters clothes in

the basement of the hospital in Chernobyl, and then they're like, and it's still there to this day. Yeah, that's what's... Just a picture of Ed on a shirt. Oh, yeah, that was in the last episode, right? Yeah. Where they actually showed the abandoned hospital.

Like, this shit's still there. Man. And still radioactive. Yeah. I would recommend the band T-shirt over wearing one of those. A radioactive T-shirt. Yeah, liking music rather than being at Chernobyl.

That's a good move. What's their vibe? It's a punk band? Yeah, they're a punk band. I would say just sort of straightforward punk. They're from Denton. And if you know, bands that came out of Denton in the 90s share a similar sound. It's like rock and roll.

Half just straight out rock and roll and half punk rock. All right. Not whiny. Yeah, sure. But not in your face you know yeah yeah yeah like i'm tougher than you yeah yeah totally exactly yeah yeah well i'm sure look if there's listeners out here if you're making bootleg uh radioactivity merch oh man send me some dude yeah so there was a i also love chernobyl so in texas chernobyl shirts would

also be good yeah yeah denton texas okay they had a whole punk like them and riverboat gamblers and um well that's it dude rbg hell yeah rbg the most famous rbg ruth bader ginsburg absolutely uh what is something you think is overrated oh man i i i'm so happy to be able to say this twitter i'm so over twitter man and i'm yeah i'm like preaching this to everyone everywhere constantly huh truly well yeah i mean you just don't have to be on twitter we live in this world where especially creatives think they have to be on twitter you got to have a twitter account to make it you got to do all the social media you got to do yeah you got to do stand up you got to have a podcast you got to be an actor you got to do push-upsups you gotta rob banks it's just like gotta eat vegetables yeah you gotta do all of it and um and it's driving us crazy and

like i'll never be someone that says like if you like twitter if it brings you happiness or community or anything positive do it please yeah but i know a lot of people that do it because they feel like they have to and to talk about how depressed it makes them and how much yet they toil. And, um, I can tell you as someone who's been on either side of it, it doesn't matter if it makes you feel bad, it's not going to help your career. So stop doing it. Pay attention to your mental health. Be good to yourself. Fuck Twitter. Yeah. At the end of the day, like if you're, you yourself are not doing well, you're not going to be creating your best work either. And I think that's,

it's funny that you say that because this has been like a creeping trend with a lot of our guests. Oh, really? A lot of people have been like, dude, fuck Twitter. Yeah, good. And I think we always sort of knew that because if you don't know how to distance yourself properly from social media, like it will fuck you up. It will consume you.

Yeah. And there was a new, a study that came out recently that was saying like social media is one of the few things that cause a user anxiety and like fulfillment simultaneously. Whoa. So the thing that is fucking you up is also the thing you go back to to try and feel better. Wow. And it's a very unique relationship that's very specific to social media. So I can totally see how a lot of the time, especially for comedians, like you're not on fucking Twitter.

What's wrong with you? Where the fuck are you? Like, I don't know. I'm out here doing shows. Yeah, yeah, you're not on fucking Twitter. What's wrong with you? Where the fuck are you? Like, I don't know. I'm out here doing shows. Yeah, totally. It's funny. You know,

that new season of black mirror that came out, wasn't their best by any sort of shot. It just almost, it was basically not good. But one of the episodes, the one with Topher Grace was, did you, did I ever see it?

I didn't see that one. It was about like, this guy takes a guy hostage and is trying to get a hold of the CEO of basically Twitter. And when he gets him on the phone, he tells him and this is a spoiler. Sorry. Spoiler alert for this old Black Mirror episode with Topher Grace.

If you're looking. Sorry. Skip ahead one minute. He gets the guy on the phone and he's like, you know, I was driving late at night and my wife was in the car and I was bored and tired. So I pulled my phone out and I used your app and I wasn't looking at the road and I crashed my car and it killed my wife. And I don't blame you for that. That's my fault.

But I also read that these apps are designed and researched how to make us more and more addicted to them. Right, right, right. And, you know, there's whatever with the episode, but that moment I was like, oh, yeah. We're not reminded of that very often. Right, right. These are billionaires. They have so much money,

and they are constantly researching how to keep us in these apps. Yeah. And when I realized that, I was like, oh, fuck i was like oh fuck this right right i'm being manipulated i just am your power back yeah for sure it's funny though because i for whatever reason instagram like doesn't make me sad and i just like it right so i just keep doing it so instagram is specifically designed by people who took a class in at stanford that was all about human behavioral manipulation. Twitter, I think, actually started as an application

for people to keep in touch at South By. Oh, really? Yeah, and then people found it useful during Michael Jackson's death, and that's how it kind of had its big blow-up. But that doesn't really matter because it's you know it just it filled a hole in the human brain and that hole is addictive well right and then you also look at sort of like trends with like dating and younger people like more and more people just prefer to do everything through a phone now than like in real life socializing

where you might meet somebody too uh what is something you think is underrated oh man uh i'm also excited about this steph tolev everyone needs to be a fan of steph tolev she's a good friend of mine she's also she's like she's my favorite comedian in la and i was just talking to her yesterday she's doing you know fine in the sense of the la comedy scene but she's been at it for so long and she is so good that she needs to be famous okay go follow steph tolev she's a fucking incredible comic nice yeah follow her where around in person follow her around she likes that she likes to be terrified uh and have her you know boundaries infiltrated no follow her on twitter and instagram and

she has a monthly show called Hags that I just did. It's like a monthly on a Tuesday. I think September, I think it's 25th is the next one. It's at the Virgil. But she posts about it if you follow her. She also tours and she has an album she just

put out called I'm Not Well that's really really really good. Yeah. There you go. Step, really good. Yeah. There you go. Step Toilet. Yeah. That's what her. Yeah. She's a big idiot.

And finally, what is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? You know what? I don't remember what it was at all, but I would love to do pineapple on pizza. Great. Because I hate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

So what's the myth? That pineapple tastes good on pizza. Oh, hate yeah yeah okay so what so what's the myth that pineapple tastes good on pizza oh wow it just does not it's bad and if you like it you're wrong i uh unequivocal we miles we've talked about my old sketch group and i when we would shoot it was funny uh what every time we would shoot sketches um we would get pizza and the other three guys in the group would always want pineapple and i would be like no and i always wanted jalapenos and they always hated dude they didn't want they don't want in my yeah jalapenos are the best pizza topping in my opinion they are good i will put my hands on them next time i see them yeah thank you

yeah they were in comedy not i I don't mean women in comedy. The group was called Women. We were called Women. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, we've had a few of you on. We haven't had Alan on, but we've had Jake on and Brett.

Brett? Who is Brett? No, who's Inger Brettson? What's his name? Matt Inger Brettson. Matt Inger Brettson. Oh, but he wasn't in the group. Oh, he was doing the other show with him.

But he's in corporate, yeah. Who's the super tall dude? That's Matt Inger Brettson, and he's not in the group. Who was the super tall dude? That's Matt Ingebretson and he's not in the group. Who was the guy who held the broomstick in the boom set? That was me.

Oh, that was you? Oh, hell yeah. Yeah, so the group was Jake Weissman, myself, Alan Stricken-Williams and Pat Bishop who also created corporate with them and is the director of corporate.

Got it, got it, got it. Yeah, you know, Pineapple, it's funny. I got it. Yeah, you know, pineapple, it's funny. Like, the first time I had it, I was like, oh, this is interesting. But personally, I do not like sweet and savory mixed together. Me neither. It's a weird thing. I've only recently been able to navigate with certain dishes. But, like, typically, I just do not.

The pineapple is too sweet and threw everything off. Jalapenos over pineapple every day. Come into my mentions, I will fight you. But, yeah, that's just how it is. It's also like, man, you know where it really gets me is pineapple mixed with dairy, man. I've like pineapple and cheese in my mouth at the same time. I don't want that to ever happen to me

again. Right. I mean, maybe like a fro-yo or something in a sweet context. Sure. I shouldn't have said dairy. Dole Whip? Isn't that a thing? Dole Whip I think is vegan oh is it technically i've never even heard of dole whip um i love pine island yeah okay yeah i mean i like them both everybody likes just come out with a jack you're a pineapple guy huh i'm fine with pineapple uh one of my favorite uh savory snacks is uh chips and pineapple salsa from Paul Newman.

Have you ever had that? No, but it sounds awesome. Trader Joe's has a pineapple mango salsa that's super good. Oh. Yeah. But we're talking about pizza. It really is the cheese. It's specifically for me, the cheese.

Oh, for me, it's the marinara. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, no, I can do that. Really? Oh, yeah. So you would eat a cheeseless pizza with pineapple on it? I don't know if I'd eat pineapple-flavored marinara.

I don't know. It's a little odd. I think all of it doesn't need the pineapple. I think it's the oregano interacting with pineapple is when I get thrown off. Oh, okay. Yeah. But look, to each their own. All right.

Cheese and fruit, just... Right. You don't like cheese and fruit? Maybe I do, actually. Apple, like on a plate? I don't think it's, I think what we're learning is that it's not, like, you can't expand it out to, like, broader rules. It's just, like, this specific thing sucks for me. Totally.

Well, yeah, that is the big thing for me. Yeah. I'm clearly the only one. It's like Miles and me and four other people, and then everyone else loves it for some god-awful reason. I don't know what it is. Yeah. I don't know what it is.

Look, like I said, it's each their own. But don't be offended if I'm at your pizza party, and I'm like, you only have one of these. Yeah, and I give you the middle finger, and then I piss on the floor. Anybody who makes it one of, like let's say you have three pizzas at your pizza party. Now, one of them costs this.

No, I'm just joking. It's not a math problem. I was like writing it down. If you have three pizzas and you go one of them Hawaiian pizza, even if you love Hawaiian pizza, that's too much. Wow. Yeah, because that's such a specific thing. So what percentage of pizza?

I think maybe a sixth is okay. So if you did half of it as a specific thing. So what percentage of pizza? I think maybe a sixth is okay. So if you did half of it as a Hawaiian pizza. So if one out of six pizzas is pineapple. You know what would be a good split up would be half Hawaiian, half jalapeno. No. I think I totally understand. Yeah. Because if you're only getting three, right?

One of them has to be a plain cheese just because. And then you need something for vegetarians and hopefully vegans. Right. And then something with meat on it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And then you can't just do ham and pineapple for your dog. Yeah, totally.

That's crazy. Okay, so we've solved it. We have. Our next issue. I like to be right. Yeah. What percentage of global warming can be pineapple? Wow, talk about a myth.

Let's do this. I love your Exxon hat you're wearing. Yeah, man. My dad's name is Halliburton. Oh, cool. Hal-i-burton. Well, fortunately, we have one of humanity's finest minds joining

the world of academia. So I think we will have global warming solved pretty soon. Great. Matthew McConaughey is finally getting the respect he deserves and will be a professor at UT, University of Texas. Hook them horns,

man. That's what I'm saying, man. He is. Finally, I'll go back to school. He's been a visiting instructor since 2015. Apparently I didn't know that,

but now he is the Moody College of Communications has now made or has now appointed him as a professor of practice to the Department of Radio Television Film Faculty starting this fall. I don't know what the fuck that means. So will he teach acting? Well, so what he's teaching is he's doing a co-teaching class called Script to Screen. And it's going to be with a director and faculty member, Scott Rice. And it's basically sort of going like every stage of a film's production. Right. Which I'm sure he's been heavily involved with.

In many things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Totally. That'll be kind of, that's kind of tight. I mean, he's great is the thing. Right. Yeah, there it is. Yeah, here he is right now.

Matthew McConaughey, wow. Somebody say pineapple. Yeah, it just seems like he's gone from someone who I thought was a joke. Totally. And he kind of is, and he's sort of a meme in his own way, but he has a lot of knowledge, too, that I would love to hear. It's funny because, yes, man, yes. When we first started talking about this, my first thought was,

what a ridiculous, what an asshole. He's a cartoon of an actor. He goes out there, and he's like, have you ever had sex, or whatever he fucking says? In a Lincoln? Yeah. And then as I started talking, I was like, nope, I love him. I love True Detective.

Yeah, True Detective was good. What else? Mud? Yeah. Dallas Buyers Club. He was awesome. He got a great image. Dallas Buyers Club. He was incredible.

Yeah, man. Yeah, I'm curious. Has he directed anything? I mean, Failure to Launch? Failure to Launch. What's Failure to Launch? I think he lived at home, and his parents were like, please find...

Wasn't Terry Bradshaw his dad in that movie? Oh my God, I hope so. Terry Bradshaw was his dad. I gotta see this movie. I've never seen it. Talking about failure or launch, I fully expected Terry Bradshaw to have a huge movie career after that film

and nothing. God, that would be cool. Just still halftime shows on Fox. Do you remember the one Howie Long starring action film that came out? Firestorm? In the commercial, isn't he throwing a fucking axe or something?

I don't even know what that meant. Oh, man. Also in Broken Arrow. He's in Broken Arrow? Oh, that's right. There was a period of time where he was like the third dude in the SEAL team or the group of generals or whatever.

Yeah, exactly. So they gave him his own. Speaking of that Axe thing, one of my favorite... Body sprays. Body sprays. Man, I'm so happy that you said that. Yeah, one of my favorite body sprays is Axe. Right.

Yeah, it really helps me have a lot of sex with women. My secret on these online dates Acts Are you familiar with the Matthew McConaughey movie It's a Reign of Fire Oh the dragon movie Yeah that was like a huge

Massive flop And he's like steampunk dragon writer But here's the thing about that movie And I'm going Do you mind if I spoil some shit about this dragon movie? About Reign of Fire? Reign of Fire. Well, that allows us to warn our listeners.

Spoiler alert for the film Reign of Fire. I'm here to spoil things that came out a long time ago that no one wants to see. Now, in the trailer for that movie, all the buildup in the trailer is about how they're fighting this dragon. And Matthew McConaughey is – it's set in the UK, a post-apocalyptic England. Christian Bale is trying to save his little town. And then Matthew McConaughey is an American general or whatever who shows up with a bunch of Americans and tanks and guns and stuff. And he's like, we're going to take down this dragon. And in the trailer, the trailer ends with, with Maddie McConaughey diving off a cliff

with ax in hand at the dragon about to ax him in the head. Yeah. And then the trailer ends. And I was watching that being like, oh dude, I'm going to see this movie. And then in the movie, he jumps off the cliff at the dragon and the dragon eats him. It's so awesome. Also, interesting factoid,

the name of his character? Denton. Really? Yeah, coming back to Denton again. Radio activity, everybody. Listen to that. Also, that's not what you're saying because of teeth, like dragon teeth.

No, no, no. Denton. Also, a film that we didn't fail to talk about tiptoes that never saw the light of fucking day what's tiptoe gary oldman plays like a little person what yo just search tiptoes it's a it's a film that was never released but it's about him and his brother who's gary oldman who's a little person and like his whole family i think are a little it's it it's a very bizarre film that with kateinsale, Peter Dinklage, it has just a very big cast of people who are like, they did this?

Right. The script must have come with cocaine or something because the script... You saw it? Did you see it? No, it's like a viral thing that the trailer exists. And you can see that on YouTube. But I'm sure the film's out there somewhere but i've not seen it but the whole this is what the story the synopsis is on imdb and if the language is problematic you'll have to excuse me because

it was written by earl baker so holler at him it says two brothers a dwarf and one of typical size uh that's just it then it's a period okay and then itwarf and one of typical size. Period. You have to read it in the voice of the trailer, movie trailer. When Steve's girlfriend, Carol, becomes pregnant, the pair are fearful that the baby will inherit the dwarfism gene. Matters are complicated still further when she finds herself falling in love with Rolf, the dwarf. Wow.

And their love is not of typical size. Yeah, exactly. Right. Yeah. There's a lot of that. Typical size their love is not of typical size. Yeah, exactly. Right. Yeah, there's a lot of that. Typical size is such an odd. I know. This is what happens in 2002. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Man, there is a, there is, I don't think this ever came out, but I saw some episodes of a show where, and it's a real show that was shot an entire season. And I saw it because I knew the editor and I think they may be released it briefly somewhere once, but the show is the exact same as the real world, except everyone who lives in the house has down syndrome. Oh my gosh. Yes.

Oh yeah. What was that called? And here's the thing. Is it like, I think it didn't air for, because conceptually it seems like the people on the show are being taken advantage of the people that have down syndrome. They're showing people with down syndrome for viewers or clicks or whatever.

But then you watch the show and you're like, this is wonderful. Right? Yeah. There was a show born this way is what it's called. Oh, it was. And it won a bunch of awards, actually, for being wonderful.

Anyways, Matthew McConaughey. I wouldn't be surprised if he is really smart about film, like the way that Robert Redford and Clint Eastwood and Ben Affleck ended up being good directors, because you have to know how to make yourself look cool in movies. Early Clint Eastwood. Early Clint Eastwood, yeah. No, later.

Empty chair Clint Eastwood. Yeah. That was sort of when he crossed the river. What else did he do? I love that movie where he brought the chair out and talked to it. Yeah. The RNC. Honestly, the RNC is my favorite movie.

Yeah, I mean, he's a great actor. So he's already – unless his process is so organic where he's like, I don't know, man. I just live and then all of a sudden it's a movie, man. Yeah, and then like, dude, this Professor McConaughey, this doesn't help me. Right. It turns out every movie he's ever been in is a documentary. Right. First.

All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who, on October 16, 2017, was murdered.

Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil.

I ain't really in here to let me waste. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to the making of a rivalry. Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast.

And we're back and rich people they know what to do with their money right we can we can trust them you mean steal it and then hoard it yeah it seems to be rich people i like them yeah i like them we all want to be rich yeah so i So, I mean, people pay attention. Like Warren Buffett, people pay attention to whatever he's doing with his money because he seems to be the guy who always consistently outsmarts the market. So I think people are looking to what people like him are doing with their money because of the warnings of possible recession times. But fortunately, Warren Buffett's out here just being like, spend, spend, spend, right? He's sitting on $122 billion of the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio. And that's more than half of the value of the entire portfolio. And the only time that percentage was higher was the years leading up to the 2008 financial crisis. So that's one thing.

The other thing a lot of people point at that Buffett is a huge fan of this thing called the market capitalization to GDP ratio, which essentially says- It's not like he's the only one who's a fan of that. I'm obviously a huge fan of that too. But they look at him about how he always looks at that and sort of treats that as a barometer. Right. And that's basically says just how much, you know, like what percentage of the GDP is like the value of the stock market essentially.

Okay. And it's been, you know, again, there's a lot of people talk about the yield inversion curve and all these other things pointing to like, well, the last time that happened was before this recession. inversion curve and all these other things pointing to like, well, the last time that happened was before this recession. So it shot up to 146% at the peak of the dot-com bubble in 2000. And it was 137% just before the financial crisis in 2008. It's now at, well, it was in 2017, it was 154%. And it's probably going to be even higher than that since that was from 2017. So these are all things that if you look at how Warren Buffett gambles,

it sounds like he's sort of waiting to see. See, this is why we have to build the wall. That's right. Because Warren Buffett knows. To keep the money in. Yeah, right. No, seriously. Jesus, man.

The other thing, too, they point out is just the spending habits of not just just like Warren, but like, just, I mean, he's not really a, you know, lavish. He's buying fewer egg McMuffins every morning. Exactly. Shout out to him. I love that about him. He knows, he knows a good breakfast. Uh, but the, just in general, like rich people spending is down like across the board, except for in fashion, but like luxury real estate having its worst year since the financial crisis, like retailers who'd like, you know, appeal to the 1%, like, like Barney's filing for bankruptcy, Nordstrom posting three consecutive quarterly declines. And then, but also now you're seeing Walmart and target like really taking over. So a lot of the, like the more value stores, discount places are doing

really well while those, those bigger retailers are shrinking. And then there's another thing they said, there's a like Pebble Beach car auctions. I love the PBC. Oh, wow. You love it, huh? So when they like, typically they're always just breaking records for what people are bidding on. And the most expensive cars just did not do well at all. It said less than half of the cars offered for $1 million or more were able to sell. But cars priced at under $75,000 sold quickly and for like far more than they were even estimating at these car auctions. And also for the first half of 2018, art auction sales were down for the first time in years. How are we gonna manage

sotheby's dropped 10 but i mean again when you look at it weeps the top 10 percent of earners account for half of all consumer outlays huh so that's gonna stall growth i guess in that sense but a lot of people are saying like there's a reason to look at rich people because they typically own the companies that do a lot of people are saying like, there's a reason to look at rich people because they typically own the companies that do a lot of international business and they're moving more money around. So that's one indicator that at least they're getting a little bit worried.

It's not necessarily saying because of this, this is going to happen, but people aren't hitting the gas on this. Is the implication that there's something conspiratorial about it? Like the rich people are talking? Well, it could be that, or they're just

saying like if if it's going like this and there is a recession then we need to be very careful with our money because we don't want to just over invest or in something and then have the economy tank and then we've lost all this money so it's a lot of people just biding their time to just see like what's wow what could happen like is the stock market gonna change is this trade war that fucking trump's got going with China? Like, how much is that going to affect things? Right. And when he's out here saying things,

like pretending to have calls with China about the trade war, and China's like, we never had, what call are you talking about? Like, later his aides were like, yeah, he was just sort of saying that to help the markets out. That's, whoa. So. And the markets, like, it worked, right? The markets was like, yeah, baby, we like it worked right the markets was like yeah baby

we're back and then they're like nah damn that's not it um yeah i mean the big thing that's changed like a lot of the positive economic indicators that people have been pointing to for the past decade really like all of the recovery has been, you know, basically moving wealth into the top 1% of, of the country. So if those people are spooked, like, I feel like a lot of, uh, that's probably not a good sign. Right. I, you know, whatever, either way we're bound down to our corporate overlords the day. I just wonder by what, I just don't operate at that level.

Like, of course I don't financially. Like, not even fucking close. Yeah. But I'm so curious. We're out here talking about splitting a Disney Plus fucking subscription. Yeah. Can you believe $3 a month? Let's do it.

Get in now. Yeah, but I'm so curious what those indicators could be, especially since so many people – so many rich people are spending less. I mean, they're just like looking at the market itself because they're interacting with the financial market so much. And just for them, their outlook is not optimistic. They're being very cautious because I think, again, you had these tax cuts that did nothing except just concentrate more wealth at the top. You have these terrible economic policies that are hurting all kinds of industries.

Do we know anything about Matthew McConaughey's spending habits lately? He just bought a new buckskin coat. Oh, did he? So I think we're going to be fine. We're good. At the same time, he's- With a great fringe on it, with turquoise beading. Oh, of course.

Oh, does he own anything else besides a buckskin coat? No, more like jacket trainers club. Come on, guys. Come on in. Laugh. Get in? Come on, guys. Come on. Come on, Inge. Laugh. Laugh. Get in or get out, man.

Like me. You're supposed to laugh. Please clap. Yeah, I mean, he did just get a new job, though, so he can afford it. Yeah, he's fine. Yeah. I feel like Matthew McConaughey doesn't buy new clothes.

Right. Like, I don't think he'd even buy vintage underwear. Well, does he wear shirts when the camera isn't rolling i did like when was the last time that guy put on a shirt i don't know i feel like the paparazzi pics always just used to be him like with like sony sports headphones in running on a beach like and then hitting a bong and in the parking lot right yeah barney's going out of business probably only seems like big news to me because I lived in New York when Barney's was blowing up or something. No, that's big. That's big, right?

Yeah, that's a very – I would have said they would always be fine. Right. Yeah. You'd think so because there's always dumb rich people, right? Yeah. Are they just handbags, Barney's name? Everything. Everything.

They're everything. They're just expensive everything. Yeah. Anything that you're like, man, I've never seen clothes like that. It's like, Barney's probably. Yeah, totally. But it is a weird idea to open a super, super high-end avant-garde fashion brand named Barney's. Barney is the most.

like fashion brand named Barney's Barney is like, like it, I think Barney's beanery is a better fit for that name than a Barney's, the high fashion, a high end fashion line. But no, but they're just a, yeah. Well,

you know, there's just a retailer though. They don't make this shit. Right. I mean, it has also kind of how rich people operate. Like there's, um, Right. I mean, it has barns. It's also kind of how rich people operate. Right. Like, there's a level of high-end type of restaurant that looks very expensive inside

and is definitely too expensive for me, and there's a lot of that in LA. Right. But then you go out to Malibu, and the restaurants there that are like, you know, like one half a meal costs $150 if you're lucky. Right. It's just like a field with a burnt wagon in it. Right, right, right. It's so whimsical.

Yeah, it comes out and he's like, would you like your burger encased in gold? And you're like, of course I do. I would like seven. Okay, great. Do you have a black card? No. Okay, then we'll need a blood oath from you. Totally.

Yeah. We don't have forks. We throw the food at you. That'll be $5,000. I love it. Let's talk about the democratic field for the 2020 election. Kirsten Gillibrand has dropped out and was greeted immediately by a tweet from the president saying, oh, I'm glad the Democrats never figured out she was the only one that I was afraid of. Oh, my God. Did you see that? Oh, well, that's cool. And of course he's afraid of all women who have an opinion. Yeah, yeah.

He's afraid of everyone. Yeah, that's true. I don't think there's a person who- He's the weakest man alive. Yeah. God, it sucks. Do you guys like me? Did you like that joke? Please clap.

And Tulsi Gabbard did not qualify for the next debate yep so that's and she did the real cool thing of then going on tucker carlson to complain about it right uh this is my future yeah right seriously uh yeah so now rather than having like 20 people we finally have 10 people on one fucking stage yeah that's uh so it'll be biden bernie warren kamala buddha judge yang gang booker beto julian castro and amy klobuchar so beto it's still it's still it's not too late bro are you a big guy no to go to to run for senate i'm saying oh i see the fuck out doggy i think that about a lot of the people in the field. Pick up a Senate seat, bro, bro. I'm really hoping that the way that this goes down is that they've all talked and at some point nine of them step back and they're like them.

Right. Yeah. How cool would that be? Yeah. But that would require like thinking and coordination on the half of the Democrats. If they hadn't worked for decades to be exactly like this. And especially to like too, now the denial that the progressive

groundswell isn't a real thing. Every day they're like, oh, fuck. Yeah, totally. They're still there, huh? Yeah, it's been going on for a minute. It's going to be hard to force Biden down their throats. Right. But we'll see. But that's what's great. You'll finally see Elizabeth Warren and Biden on the same stage. Yes.

And we'll see what cooks up there. But it's funny. Like, Biden and Bernie, or I'm saying Elizabeth Warren and Bernie have sort of been like, don't expect us to start fucking coming at each other. Right. Because we're kind of on the same wavelength. But yeah, there are like a lot of people like, is this going to be the time? Like, no, it ain't going to be it.

That's funny. Man, I hope that's true. All the right wing Democrats, I guess, are saying that like Andrew Yang is getting shut out of media coverage. And I saw an article that was like, is Andrew Yang the next Bernie Sanders? And it's like, no, Bernie Sanders is the next Bernie Sanders. So it's like he's still being like left out when people are like, Warren is surging. And it's like, so is Bernie Sanders. But yeah, people just are like, yeah, surging and it's like so bernie sanders but yeah people just

are like yeah but he's not gonna win so because that's the whole thing like these are the two people who are like hi we want to upset traditional american capitalism exactly and when you have the media is entrenched in that and the you know like the way the government's structured now of course they're gonna act like i don't know dude maybe that dude's not been in the gym doing push-ups right right right but anyways you do push-ups. Right, right, right. But anyways. You do push-ups in a gym, right? Yeah.

That's where you go to a gym. That's all you do. That's the only reason I have a gym membership. In the locker room. Right next to the old men. Dude. I get nude and I do push-ups. In the shower.

Yeah. Naked shower push-ups. That's actually the name of my gym. Anyway, stop the Andrew Yang media blackout. That was trending well i mean i guess in the sense that he's really like looking at problems and has it has like very aggressive solutions or ideas to how to solve them i guess puts him in that court a kind of category of outside thinker uh but look dude i know i know all the gamers want their a thousand bucks a month yeah i guess he's not right-wing.

That's probably not fair. Well, just because he has this weird base behind him. That's like some people from like 4chan and like other corners of the internet who are just more like, I like the $1,000 a month thing. What is this? It's just universal basic income of like guaranteeing everyone gets $1,000 a month. I want my thousand bucks. Yeah.

And they're like, well, shit, dude. Pays for games, pays for electricity, pays for a sick ass Vizio. Does it? I mean, if you get it at Walmart. Yeah. And don't eat. You can't eat. And you live in someone else's house.

Right. Let's talk about the on again off again relationship between president trump and fox which had just been they'd been pretty hot and heavy there for a couple years but it seems like things are a little i don't know getting a little messy i don't know it's like yeah we go in and out because right now he's mad later on he's gonna love him right and they're gonna do some just absurd shit to try and like you know confuse people about what he's actually saying or doing. Right. And then there'll be back in bed together.

But you know, it's funny cause he always has an excuse or someone to blame for all of his failings. So if it's the economy, it's the fed and it's Powell. Right. It's the fake news media that are trying to tell you there's a recession. And if it's farms,

like farm country dying out, it's China. That's what I'm trying to fight them. Okay. And if it's bad polls farm country dying out it's china that's what i'm trying to fight them okay and if it's bad polls i guess now he's like it's fox news because this was sort of like on the backs of all these polls coming out about being like he loses to everybody potentially in hypothetical matchups or whatever by nine percent um and now he was getting upset because he saw people like donna brazil and stuff on uh on the channel and like juan williams and shepherd smith who are the few people who like aren't just fully in like gop

racist xenophobic like conspiracy town um and he said this is the thing he tweeted earlier this week just watched fox news heavily promoting the democrats through their dnc communications director spewing out whatever she wanted with zero pushback by anchor sandra smith terrible considering that fox couldn't even land a debate. The Dems give them nothing. The Dems give them nothing is such a like jealous boyfriend. Oh yeah. And then what does he do for you that I can't? I swear to God he has borderline personality disorder. Oh my God. He really, everything's a team to him. He just literally, he doesn't think that he doesn't get that we're operating uh in the real world he doesn't understand that there are lives on the line that these things

affect people all he sees right or if you're on his team or not he doesn't even care he doesn't even care what his own opinion is and you can tell he just cares that he said a thing and then if you disagree with that thing you are now not on his team and fuck you and you're disloyal yeah just loyal to you he doesn't even care what he's saying at all no and i think that's what shows you too like again with a lot of these very wealthy people when you operate in a world where like you've never needed anything or wanted anything and had every right you've never you have like your concept of like you know uh being poor like needing assistance is so foreign that yeah you can just go full steam like look there's people who are balling and then the rest of them.

Right. I don't care. And so he goes on. He called the Fox like programmers hopeless and clueless for hiring Donna Brazil. And then he said they should go all the way left and I will still find a way to win. That's what I do. Win. Too bad.

I don't want to win for myself. I only want to win for the people. The new Fox News is letting millions of great people down. We have to start looking for a new news outlet. Fox isn't working for us anymore. A new outlet. I think that's kind of, again, that's what everyone suspected he was doing when he was

running for president, was just getting his stock up so then he could start his own MAGA news network. And that would have been his little cash. That's what he wanted. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

And then now he's sort of in this. Damn dude. Is it going to be InfoWars? Is it going to be, cause what's, what's more right wing than, than Fox? InfoWars.

It's going to be InfoWars and Trump TV. What? Yeah. And RATV. Yeah. Right. RATV. Oh my God.

RATV. and there'll be documentaries about how mushroom shaped penises are actually the best for a course fucking three week mini doc series oh man

tonight on tiny white hands I think I read I think I read that it went off the air or something NRA TV

NRA TV yeah it's folding. Jesus. Because there's a lot of nonsense happening. But yeah, I mean, it's just, this is all part and parcel of the flailing we've been seeing the last few weeks

where it's like, what, you're lying, then you're telling people you're not. There's like, one of his spokespeople was on like Chris Cuomo's show and got completely just like, like once she said like the president has never lied. He said something about that or like tried to like suggest that the president has never lied. He's like, okay, this interview is over. Get the fuck out of here.

Right. Wow. Huh. So, you know. But hey, find that new outlet. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see.

Let's see what that is. Just the president and his press office. Yeah. Yeah, let's see. Let's see what that is. Just the president and his press office. Yeah, and it's been, what, 171 days, 172 days since the last daily presidential briefing? Is that right? Yeah. Whoa, I didn't know that. Yeah.

Yeah. Because the thing he's replaced it with is just yelling at the media as he boards a helicopter because then it's on his terms and he can pretend like he doesn't hear them again the most masterful thing when they were talking about like some of the anti-semitic shit he was saying it's like isn't that anti-semitic and he's like it's only anti-semitic in your head wow wow i mean he is that's just you know but that's why he likes it because it's so

quick there's it's hard to have follow-ups it's just so scattered and then he can just pivot someone asked him about the risk like the global warming he pivoted to some other thing he's gotta be like the only person who is or the only entity that's more easy to manipulate than trump is the mainstream media i feel like because he's so needy like you can easily just neg him into an opinion. Right. But then the media, he, you know, whatever he does, they're just, they take it seriously. Yeah.

All right, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th 2017 was murdered.

of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? Just come here and play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game?

And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really hear them voice. I just

come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained?

This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to making of a rivalry caitlin clark versus angel reese on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast and we're back and disney plus it's coming guys It's coming November. November. It is a surprisingly good deal, I would say. It depends. I don't know. It depends on what you want. Because what? Netflix is like 10 bucks or some shit right now? Yeah, 11, I thought.

Oh, yeah. And then if you want even more, if you want like Ultra HD. More than one screen. Yeah. Well, so I think like everybody when Disney was like, and Disney's going to have a streaming platform, we're all like, get the fuck out of here. What the fuck? But now as they roll out more and more of what that content is,

and for me seeing the Mandalorian trailer, I was like, okay, I'm in. What the fuck are we doing? The Mandalorian, I'm getting it. Yeah. And then like the Obi-Wan series that's coming out with Ewan McGregor. There's going to be a She-Hulk series. There's like a lot of things. I'm like, fuck, that's right.

You get Star Wars and Marvel. Yeah. Not to mention everything that's already been made in those studios. Exactly. All that IP, as it were. Yes. But they are really, they're like going all in now because they're offering people, basically saying like, hey, if you buy three years up front,

we'll give it to you for $3.92 a month. So essentially, if you get it regularly, it's $7 a month, but with this deal, you pay 140 bucks or like a little over $140 and you get three years of it up front. Wow. So.

Yeah. It's like the reverse layaway. I think I'll probably just do it. Yeah. Or, you know, like going with a group of people. You know what I mean? 140 bucks.

Wait a second here, Miles. Yep, that's right. I'm a fucking striminal as the industry calls me striminal uh but yeah there's uh there's the whole thing oh right so if you want to do it right originally this deal was only available to like the d23 like gold members like the hardcore yardcore disney fans um now it's available for everyone for free but you'll have to just like sign up on their website to become a D23 basic number.

So not for free. No, you don't pay anything. Yeah, but it's not. Yeah, you give up your- You're selling yourself. But also, if you've ever signed into ESPN or something, have an ESPN account, it's the same thing as Disney. Oh, okay. So you can just sort of link it already.

Because look, Disney fucking owns everything, y'all. Is there a possibility of these streaming services starting to get packaged at some point i mean at some point this is just going to become like cable again right where you'll pay one service that is an umbrella where you get netflix and disney and hbo now or whatever but then it's hard because right a lot of these were born out of them not wanting to be packaged together. Right. But we are now reaching a point where we are now at critical mass where I can no longer afford all of them.

I can't. Yeah. We're back to like, well, if I want everything, then I'm already spending a hundred bucks a month. Yeah. If you really wanted it all.

I mean, for sports. Yeah. There's just, there's already too much on just like one streaming platform. Yeah. Netflix. There's too much to keep up with I feel like

totally the originals come out way too fast now and I'm like so behind and then that thing happens where I'm like you just give up in the middle of a race because everyone's so far ahead of you and you're like dude actually fuck it man like I don't know like is Wormwood is that good fucking whatever Wormwood's

great man isn't it really I don't know but that's what you hear all the time like what you haven't seen yeah you ever heard goblin's neck i'm like i don't know what the fuck is that it's true too i have like anything i'll anything will get me out of a show because i'm looking for it i'm looking for like like mind hunter i just actually finished mind hunter but i didn't watch it for a long time because in the pilot there's a conversation between the male lead and the female lead that's sort of boring. And I was like, nope, fuck this. Yeah, no time.

Gotta go. Yeah. Yeah. And it turned out I like it a lot. Yeah. Just gotta be patient. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, you know, I've got my eye on Disney+.

I know. The thing is, like, the Mandalorian. Also, what's that actor's name? He's so good. Carl Weathers? Yeah. Carl Weathers? Yeah. Carl Weathers? He's good.

But is he very- Werner Herzog? Those are the two faces you see. Those are the two faces you see. Pedro Pascal. Pedro Pascal. Yeah. He's amazing.

Yeah. Yeah. That means that fucking whole cast is like, okay. Fucking Giancarlo Esposito is even in it. Who's that? Dude. What's that? Gus Fring from Breaking Bad.

Oh, yeah. And then Netflix had, do you see that trailer? There's like a fucking Jesse Pinkman movie coming out. One month. They dropped the trailer on us a month out. It's aggressive. I used to be able to prepare myself, but now it's just coming in thick and fast, y'all. How incredible is it?

Is it a Walter White joint? No, it's about Jesse Pinkman. Just straight up Pinkman? The trailer's just this guy in an interrogation who's like, I don't know, man. He's like, they put him in a box. And he's like, and if you want me to rat out Jesse Pinkman so you can put him in a box, I won't do it. And then it's like a card where it's like, oh. It seems like Jesse and Walter and Saul might all not be in it.

You never know. Right. But it's a movie about that story. They somehow shot it and kept it completely secret without anyone knowing. And now it's out in three weeks. Yeah. Jesus. Yeah, man.

Good on. Like, and that either means it's going to be good or not. Right. Also, Ludwig Goranson is scoring the fucking Mandalorian. Wow. The dude who did Black Panther and is like fucking works with Childish Game. Like, what the fuck, bro? It's going to be, it's too much.

I can't wait. Mandalorian is not about a transformer that turns from man into a DeLorean. No. It is now. What's right there? Hey, who are you? Bumblebee. And you, Optimus Prime.

What about you? Mandalorian. Sick, bro. I think I already get what you do. Truck guy. Truck robot guy. Truck daddy. Dude, Mandalorian.

Mandalorian. Fantastic. All right, so 2019, you might have noticed there were a couple of sequels that came out. Sequels, prequels, reefles, reeples, feeples, weeples. Uh-huh, all the quills. Nyquils. Syraquil. Dayquils.

There were a couple Nyquils that came out. Uh-huh. But people are speculating that this might be the beginning of the end for Hollywood. Right. Basically. The IP bubble, as they call it. The IP bubble. The Hollywood as we know it. Right. Basically. The IP bubble, as they call it. The IP bubble. The Hollywood as we know it.

Right. So far, 19 movies have made $100 million at the U.S. box office, and two of them were not based on previous IP. Yeah. That was Us and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. No. That used director cred, basically, to get there. You know what I mean? Yeah.

hollywood right that used like director cred basically to get there you know what i mean yeah and so yeah and if you look for the uninitiated if you're out not in hollywood man ip intellectual property man it's all about you know existing ideas that are out there that they reformat and reshape to make these new things called ip right um and yeah they're it's constant like everything you see because hollywood has this terrible habit of being like great we do the fucking huge tentpole movie. It's going to make a ton of money. But they have been doing this so much that we're starting to see that these follow-ups are losing a lot of fucking steam.

A lot of steam in what way? Like being good? Some of them are. So for example, I mean, yeah, they're obviously the huge ones that are doing well. But like, let's talk Lego Movie too, did 105 million domestically, but in the 2014, like original one did two 57. So that's, you know, less than half also, uh, pets too. They did what, uh, $875 million worldwide in the first one, this pets too, just barely

got over 400 million. So like, you're seeing things that were like, oh shit. Okay. That makes sense. In the first one, this Pets 2 just barely got over $400 million. So, like, you're seeing things that were like, oh, shit, okay, that makes sense. But it's still a ton of money. But you're seeing it starting to become diminished now. It's not the same. They're not, like, improving on it. And I think that's a lot of why everyone's pointing.

It's like, well, what are you going to do? And when you look at 2020, like, you got fucking Disney's putting out, like, Mulan and the Jungle Cruise. I don't know how big. Are they doing a live-action Mulan and the Jungle Cruise. I don't know how big. Are they doing a live action Mulan? Yeah. That is completely different than like the animated version. It's like more of an action flick. Okay.

But just using that story. But like Jungle Cruise, I don't know. Who the fuck. What's Jungle Cruise? It's based on the fucking ride. Man, I'm going to throw up. Yeah. Hold on. Amazing face right now.

I'm going to throw up right now. Oh, dude. No, truly it hurts me as someone who wants to make stuff. I'm like, fuck, dude. So the main problem with Jurassic Park, right, is the dinosaurs. Like, get these dinosaurs out of here and just make it about a ride that brings down. Yeah, Chris Pratt Park. Right?

Yeah. Then you got me. So you're saying Jungle Cruise. Just take it down to having a bus a bus through the jungle right yeah whoops no you're right yeah i can't wait for the 2023 release of disney parking lot rent's gonna be sick but yeah i don't know i mean i know what you mean like for it when you aspire to make these original things and the industry is so focused on because again once the creatives got out of the development roles at these original things and the industry is so focused on because again once the creatives got out of the development roles at these studios like in the 80s and the fucking

accounting people and the marketing people started taking those jobs at studios the focus completely shifted to how the fuck are we going to just get asses in the seats and blow these box offices out versus like you know it's obviously there are smaller studios who are still making the good shit, but in terms of like the money. Right. It's all this fucking, it's this huge, huge IP temp bullshit. And also fucking Sonic the Hedgehog, you think people are going to go out for that shit?

Is that actually happening? I mean, I saw those photos obviously, but. Yeah, it's coming out in 2020. They had to push it back because everyone was so freaked out by the eyes. And the hands, right? But the eyes especially. People were like, mm-mm. It's that they're two the hands, right? But the eyes especially. People were like, mm-hmm.

It's that they're two separate eyes, right? Yeah. And people want one big goggle eye. One big eye. Right. Is that what it was? Yeah. It's like snowboarder goggle eyes is what Sonic had in the game.

And they wanted it to be that in reality. I see. That's what his eyes sort of looked like. Oh, that's right. That's right. Okay. And then they were just like beady in reality. I see, like, that's what his eyes sort of looked like. Oh, that's right, that's right. Okay. And then they were just, like, beady human eyes. But then they gave him two circles. How dare they? Well, she just in general had small features. They gave him, like, a tiny

mouth. Right, yeah. Very creepy. Anyway, I don't know how, like, on the one hand, yes, we want more original work done. On the other other toy story 4 was really fucking good it was good that's fine i'm there are certain things i think that obviously can deliver right but there are some things that are such transparently like greedy cash grabs that they

just falter in that sense too how good that one was bummed me out because it was a movie that I was like, we don't need this. Yes. Toy Story 3 was like a great ending to the whole thing. And just focus your Pixar resources on the next franchise. Create a new thing. WALL-E is such a great film. Figure out what the next WALL-E was. And then Toy Story 4 was like my favorite movie

if you're gonna make a sequel just you just have to put you have no choice you have to put key and peel in it right and then it will be good boom right man but didn't Pixar say that they're not doing any more sequels after the next car sequel, which is they have that coming up. But then other than that, it's like all originals. They were basically saying that they're going to focus on originals. I think that's great. Story four after toy story four.

That was like, okay, y'all let's get focused. Great. Because it's true. I mean, you don't have to, you don't have to innovate as much when you're already just sort of

expanding on an existing thing. Right. But again, there are certain things that can, they do have the longevity that you can keep iterating on it. But I think also at the same time, you have so many fucking people out here with amazing ideas too. They're like, just fucking yes.

I do think we're going to start seeing like, yeah, hopefully what happens is that it creating absolutely original IP, that will happen. And that will be what starts driving Hollywood. That would be great. But I'll bet you that another thing that's going to start happening is like the smash brothers in of Hollywood in general. I think we're going to start seeing movies where like Mario fights Trump or

something, you know what I mean? It's just, yeah. Like the T-Rex from Jurassic Park versus Spider-Man. Exactly. Yeah. Everything will be Alien versus Predator.

Yeah. Yeah, eventually. Oh, God. Literally every movie will be a Doritos Locos Taco is my point. Right. Well, but there you're talking about a work of genius again. I'm saying. So I don't know what to do about that.

You're like, huh. Wait, that would be a good movie. Doritos Locos Taco. Doritos Locos Taco. I mean, movie., that would be a good movie. Doritos, tacos, tacos, tacos, Doritos, tacos, tacos.

I mean, versus predator. We are versus bread. Okay. All right. All right. I like where you're going. The Pillsbury Doughboy versus a Doritos.

When is Taco Bell KFC going to be a movie? We already reviewed Flamin' Hot Cheetos as a movie idea and basically greenlit it on a show earlier this week. But that's a backstory. It's a backstory of how that was invented, but it's still a food movie. But you know, it's funny, the fiery Doritos Locos Tacos being discontinued. So Taco Bell might have... Oh, really? There's nine things going bye-bye.

Oh, no. Yeah, yeah. All right. And finally, let's check in uh with outer space uh detectives uh no so they we might have uh seen our first space crime the first crime yeah committed in space yeah by a private person um yeah an astronaut on the space station ann mcclain she logged into her estranged wife's bank account from the fucking space station right um and because you know what happened was like the her first of all her estranged wife is a ex uh like her is a former

air force intelligence officer right so not somebody That's who you want to hack. Yeah. Someone who's been like, oh yeah, I don't check anything. Right. It has to do with a computer. Well, first of all, how about this couple? I know, seriously. What a couple of bad asses.

They show up at a party and like, oh, here they are. Fucking idiot. Right. Hey, how is fucking space, Ann? But yeah, apparently when the ex thought thought something was up contacted the bank and then they were like oh um one of the accounts or one of the computers that accessed your account uh is from nasa right like okay i see what the fuck is going on um and so you know the whole thing is that like they were saying that she was saying her defense was that like well our

even though we're estranged our finances are still intertwined and that's why I was in there. And they're like, no, you shouldn't have been in there. Anyway, NASA is going to investigate. But if this actually was a crime, this could be the real, this could be the first space crime. And now that brings in this whole discussion now of like, what exactly is space law? Yeah. Is that international waters? Right. That's what they're using as precedent. Are they really? Yeah. Is that international waters? Well, they have.

No, but that's what they're using as precedent. Are they really? Yeah. They're like, wow. Yeah. It's like, so, you know, that Simpsons episode about how they're able to break laws. Well, they say that aboard the International Space Station, there is a treaty that essentially says that the astronauts country that they're the country that the astronauts from, they will be governed by those laws. Right.

In the space station. Yeah. So this story written by a writer, J.M. McNabb, has this paragraph buried in it 110 days aboard the Mir space station led to battery sexual assault and attempted murder. What? Wait. Whoa. Yeah. One astronaut, quote, had to hide the knives in the station's kitchen because he was worried two of his colleagues would murder each other.

Like, okay, we've heard about a couple that Hollywood needs to make a movie about, and we've heard about a couple that Hollywood needs to make a movie about and we've heard about an experiment that Hollywood needs to make a movie about immediately uh fuck the next Fast and the Furious presents yeah well this is the thing that okay I'm sorry that that was not fair wait you love Fast and Furious I do yeah yeah take that back Toy Story oh Uh-oh. I mean, it seems like. Did it replace Jaws 3 as your favorite movie? No, Jaws 4.

Jaws 4. So it didn't upend that. No. Sounds like you love sequels, man. I know. I know. Rocky IV was the first movie I saw in theaters, and yeah, it formed what I think of as movies. You're going to see the new Rambo?

I was just thinking that. Oh, hell yeah, man. Dude, of course. Yeah. I also like that they're calling it Last Blood. I like the finality of it. Say it's the last sequel. God, I hope so.

Can you imagine? Ugh. And the next one's like, the for real Last Blood. Yeah. Right. Okay. Isn't he trying to make another Rocky movie? Yeah, you know, we already talked about that.

Yeah. That's, ah, fuck it. What about Copland 2? You know what we already talked about that. Yeah. That's, ah, fuck it. What about Copland, too? You know what I mean? Bring back Copland. Remember, the fucking concept was, like, an immigrant kid who was going down to Mexico or something to fight, like, an angry kid.

Anyway, look, shout out to Sly. Had your prop. The thing, though, that's funny about this, all this space stuff is, they don't have an actual, like, agreement or treaty in place if a crime involves astronauts from two different countries okay that's where they would have to like the countries have to get together to figure out like okay whose laws apply in this instance i think it's trial by

combat isn't it at that point now they haven't spelled it out fight to the death yet yeah um but yeah i mean what do you do there There's no, how do you, like, if there was a crime, a real crime between astronauts on the space station, what crime, what's an example of a crime that the U.S. laws are different than

Russia's, for example? Like, what could happen where there's something to do with battery? Really, though? Hate crimes, like, against I don't know. Battery assault isn't and where there's something to do with battery right yeah really though i mean is crimes like hate crime probably uh i don't know i mean battery assault isn't it is illegal everywhere i would imagine right it's not legal somewhere yeah i don't know i mean i think look any legal experts in international law yeah yeah what are the loopholes we can exploit well yeah okay right i'm trying to oversimplify it for sure a murder

like that that's a great because like if someone commits murder they like it's witnessed like they have it on camera because it's done in the space station and then they have to like get away like they have to find out where they want to like come back into the planet like that would be fucking so tight and i guess yeah you would like the fugitive but like i guess it's like yeah norway no matter what you do in norway the maximum sentence you can get is 25 years in prison maybe even 20 i get i know that because burzum the dude who burned a bunch of churches and killed the guy from the band mayhem just got out of prison in norway oh my god yeah yeah well shit and we have the death penalty. Wow.

Sure. Yeah. Crazy. I think, you know, at the very least that the one thing that they are saying is like, it would be tough because there's no way to like isolate someone on a spacecraft.

Like if someone did pull some shit and they're like, okay, that's it. Space law evoked. You were going, they didn't build a jail. There's no space jail. Unless they build space quotas.

For all my Aqua Teen Hunger Force fans out there. The fugitive meets the Martian. I'm just saying. Whoa. Okay. Oh, and that scene where he jumps out of the drain pipe is him jumping out of the space station? That's right. Whoa.

This absolutely needs to be a movie. Yes. That would be really good. Yeah, like the weird space law loopholes. Because like Splashdown is always really interesting because they don't necessarily know where you're going to land. Right. So it's Tommy Lee Jones' character from Space Cowboys and Han Solo.

Oh, man. Who was the... Wait, who was... Tommy Lee Jones is the one chasing Harrison Ford, right? In The Fugitive? Right. Yeah. Who was the one-armed man?

Just a guy. I forget his name, that actor. Was it Eric Boghossian? No. No. I think it's... No, it wasn't. This was the only thingarmed man? Just a guy. I forget his name. Was it Eric Boghossian? No. No. I think it was. No, it wasn't. This was the only thing he had ever been in.

I'm trying to think. He was like a former Chicago cop. The one-armed man? Yeah. The actor? I believe so. Oh, really? Oh.

Oh, and that was his. I don't remember him in anything else, for sure. I just remember as a kid, that was the thing I always talked about. The one-armed man. The one-armed man. Yeah. Dave, it's been a pleasure having you, man. It's been a pleasure being here.

something resonated with that with me and also shout out to listener Sean Green because he said, FYI, because we were talking about Amish people with Nick Vattery yesterday. He said, FYI, Amish people are insanely good at volleyball. This is not a joke. What? So somebody, yo, if you have fucking Amish volleyball footage, hit me with a mixtape.

For real? Yeah. Yeah. If you weren't going to read that, I was going to read that. Oh, really? Yeah. That was one thing I was like, this seems too good to be true. Again, IP.

Right. Right. This is about an Amish volleyball team. Right. That goes to the Davis tournament. If you know anything about club volleyball for a youth, the Davis tournament, UC Davis. Okay. Oh, I mean, it writes itself.

You know who else was really good at volleyball? Abe Lincoln? Osama Bin Laden. Oh. Is that true? Yes. Anna Hosni's dad, too. And Anna Hosni's dad. Love it. Really? Volleyball. Love it. Tweet I've been enjoying. At Dana Donnelly, tweeted no one, and then

me trying to pretend I'm not drunk when I get into an Uber. Haha, thank God you came to get me. I just want to go home and read Proust. Haha, all that drinking stuff is not for me. I immediately puke all over their backseat. And then Langston Kerman tweeted, this is probably what getting your ass eaten feels like, but I'm too afraid to find out.
