I didn't put on my face for the hair and makeup Blair when we're doing video, you know, we're doing video miles and I will be fucking glowing So much eyeliner on you thought I was JD Vance. Okay What a relief cuz I was just power lifting doing some power snatch cleans. I wasn't prepared, you know. You look fine. You look great. All right. Thanks. All right. Thank you. Yeah. I wish people should almost see you right now and be like, bro, Blair's Blair looks camera ready right now.

Yeah, right. Miles, come on. You're a good friend. The power snatch cleans, I got to say they're tough, but, you know, I'm getting into those chain. What's it called? Block chain muscles or is no that's something Lateral chain by like back to the Anterior chain and tear chain, you know What the fuck is that?

Chains of muscles miles that are in your body. We got to start having Peloton I have a personal trainer who costs a $40 a session and for 30 minutes, twice a week, and he'd make me the buffest guy in the universe. Damn. Yo, yo, where'd you find those? Yeah. They go to go to their gym or something. They come to you.

Oh no, I go to the gym. The gym. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, like, okay. So they're just like, oh to you. Oh no, I go to the gym. The gym. Oh, yeah. Okay. So they're just like, Oh, you got a whole rack and shit at your house. No, my personal trainer. He's totally nuts and also a sound cloud rapper. Oh, those are, you can't be my chip.

Yeah. I wouldn't trust anybody. It's gotta have, gotta be a sound cloud. Because they know they're all about the chains. Yo, have you heard my trap beats? Listen to this hi-hat and snare chain. Speaking of chains. Yeah, I have to tell him he's not allowed to rap at me while I'm doing reps.

B-L-A-R. Yeah, truly. And then he flexes at himself in the mirror as well. Oh, and like probably just moving one pack and shit. Yeah, he just has to take a lot of looks at himself. I feel like the way you get a really good personal trainer rate is find somebody who's like, I don't really do this for a living. This is just my side gig.

Yeah. My real passion is... My real passion is the thing that I actually am losing money on in a controllable way. That's how I make my living. Yeah, sometimes he asks me if I want to come to his studio sessions and I say, oh no thanks, I have to wash my hair that day. You don't want to go to a studio sesh? I feel like.

Oh no, I'm very busy, girl. I can't make it that day. Oh, okay. Yeah. All right. Well, Blair, we are thrilled to have you here. We're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First though, we're gonna tell people some of the stories we're talking about today.

There was a movie style, like assassin hit, it would seem. Again, very early, we don't know. But person had silencer on, I didn't even think silencers were real. I thought that was just for the movies. Yeah. Of a healthcare insurance providers CEO, a not well-loved healthcare insurance provider.

It's taken the Internet by storm. A lot of people are speculating. We're going to look at that. Look at why that might be. Why people might be talking about that, noticing that. A healthcare CEO? Come on. I don't know. Right now in America, this seems out of left field. Not my America. We're going to talk about there's a new Mickey Mouse slasher movie that's coming I guess or it's a scream but it's just scream boat it's just scream scream boat yeah yeah so anyways we're gonna talk about that and like why people have that obsession before we get to any of that shit though, Blair, Blair, I'm gonna like that.

What's up Jack? Coming at your ass, Blair. What is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Oh, the last thing I Googled because I wanted to be 100% candid with the Zoy Gang. I looked it up and it was how much does Tri-Tip cost at Costco?

And? Uh, I did you know that there was two choices of me. The one choice was 8.99 per pound and the top choice was 9.99 per pound. And I don't have a Costco card, but I was thinking about how a man I was interested. I realized like whenever I love when people excitedly talk to me about Costco, like are really passionate about Costco. And I always find that I'm so charmed by their passion for Costco. Yeah.

Really? I love a fandom. Yeah. I think Costco is a true fandom. Yeah. And I think it's because I. I think Costco is a true fandom. Yeah. And I think it's because I'm really ready to become a family man. You know what I mean?

Yeah. So I think that's why that's interesting me as I age rapidly. So you're, so this was not even like for practical purposes. This was a theoretical search for information on what Tri Tip looks like at Costco. Is that a character you're playing? No, it was actually for a bit because I was writing a joke because I was thinking about how this man was talking to me about Costco and at first I was like, Jesus, what am I doing here?

And then I suddenly was like, wait, no, I'm very charmed right now. This guy is practical. Yeah, yeah. This man is a provider. He's got love in his heart. He wants to feed people. Yeah, exactly. He's looking for the most for the least amount.

Exactly. So how about that unit price? That's right. Blair, what is something you think is underrated? What is thing? Oh, oh my God. Thank you for asking me. Cause got to say aliens, aliens. Are you kidding me? I'm obsessed with the aliens.

I can't stop thinking about the aliens. I spent all my time on alien tick talk. And, um, you know, I have to say, uh, for being such a whack a doodle, I never thought about aliens once in my life until 2022, when the government and said like they're real. And now everyone is just so uninterested and I can't stop thinking about it. I'm amazed and obsessed. I mean, everyone thought yesterday or the third was supposed to be alien invasion day.

I kept reading that on the internet. I was like, just a fucking time. But then there are all those drones flying over like New Jersey and all over the US or people like, what are these car sized drones that are like hovering around? And I'm like, I don't know. I don't know. But I was always checking out my window on the hour every day. Yesterday, because I was waiting that big shadow to come over and you to like kind of look up like that. Oh, take me, baby.

I'm ready. Daddy alien walk me like a dog. I'm exhausted. Would you be like, you know, an independence day, they're like those people in downtown L.A. on the top of the time was like the first interstate bank building With their signs like yeah You're like oh my god you guys are eating These are alien cookies? You like alien

cookies? Study alien. They look like what I thought aliens were going to look like. They actually don't look like you. Sorry, you guys are real fucked up looking. No, well, I am worried about that genuinely because, you know, well, I have been perusing all the theories on TikTok and people are like, well, what if the aliens are actually mermaids? And then and then I started worrying about that because I was like, oh, I don't think they're going to be like the hot mermaids from Peter Pan. I think I'm worried they're going to look like a goddamn more a eel.

That's just like, yeah, looking right. Yeah. But like a fish. Yeah. Yeah. Something I have like the little light and the big nasty jaws. Yeah, I don't maracuda. Or like a angler fish. Yeah. Yeah, something- The fish that have the little light and the big nasty jaws. Yeah, I don't want them to have a grotesque face. Oh, but they're super sweet. Yeah, yeah.

We don't want gross faces, aliens. We do like your face, gross face killer. But yeah. It is something that when we start talking about it, I sometimes am like, why do we ever talk about anything else? But yeah, it is so interesting that the more disclosure there's been or the more seriously the government takes it, the more people are just like, I don't know, man.

This seems kind of weird to me. I don't believe a lot of what you guys are saying. Yeah, yeah. Like it's not like too much. And this all leads truly back to my childhood at the War tour, because Tom DeLong is responsible for all of this. Yeah, he definitely put his money where his mouth is. Yeah, he was able to infiltrate the Pentagon and convince them for disclosure. Do you think there were messages hidden in Blink-182 lyrics that slowly just wormed their way through the minds?

Yeah, I would love to talk to Tom DeLonge sometime and be like, so were you visited or how did this all come about for you? How did you know? How did this all happen? You wanna know why they need to be reminded of what their age is again? Because they've had their memory wiped after an alien encounter.

Oh, like Men in Black. Is that the song? What's My Age Again? Is that right? Yeah. Yes. Such a good song. It's my age again. Blair, I could literally talk to you about aliens.

Like that. But I also wanna ask you if there's anything you think is overrated. Yeah, thank you for asking, Jack. I'm going to say I'm going to go with one health insurance company, so I'm pissed. And then also, Blue Sky, I'm having a difficult time with the change. I really am. I just made the jump over last week. The only thing I like so far on there are the pictures of space and galaxies.

Oh, that are like, yeah. That is the first thing you find, yeah. That's what I found. It's like very mainstream liberal takes, pictures of galaxies and pictures of cats. And then my process of using blue sky has been like slowly trying to teach it that I don't want to see that shit like I just you're not getting like what the shit posts drawings of like

ripped mythical creatures like there's like yeah there's some there's some interesting like my mind I could come around out. There's like, yeah, there's some interesting like erotic artwork on there. Really? Okay, that could change my mind. I could come around. Wait, so what's the thing that you're kind of having trouble with in the transition? Because I mean, it looks the same.

There's definitely some features that like, I wish the note, like when you go into your notifications, you could switch between like mentions and not. Well, first of all, I feel truly insane posting on three platforms. I mean, I'm like, if there is a definition of mental illness, this is it. But I it's just really weird. It's like I feel like I'm basically writing in my diary because I don't have any followers. And I'm like, this is really weird.

I don't know the whole thing. Right, right, right. I found it kind of liberate. We can remedy that. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, if you want, what's your handle on blue sky? I mean, I don't know because it's they make it like five words. It's just Blair Saki blue sky or whatever.

Oh, he's got a social. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like that social is, um, um, piss freak 4 20. I hope he makes an account because I think. Social is is um piss freak 420 So much yeah, it's so weird like when I when I saw you on Stavis world the first thing I thought of was piss freak 420 for some reason it wasn't like oh shit blairs on the star rose I was like dude whatever happened to piss

I was like, dude, whatever happened to piss freak 420? Dude, piss freak 420 has been with me for so long. Like if he, if that'll be my greatest loss when I leave Twitter very soon. Yeah. And Bersaqui number one fan, my two best friends. Love him. I thought you were going to be like, when I saw you on Stavisworld, I was like, oh piss freak 420 is going to be so happy. No, but I think it's just change. I don't like change.

And I, but I, the one thing I find thrilling about Blue Sky is how it's just hemorrhaging to Elon, Satan, Musk. I love that. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's really the only reason I'm there. Yeah. Cause I, I do cheat on it a little once.

I go back to my problematic fave, uh, over on Twitter and like, I'm like, man, some of these are better than what I'm being fed blue sky, but the United healthcare CEO posts are a little bit better on Twitter. Yeah. But we'll get there. We'll get there. People get there. I can't wait.

These are the early days. It's just, uh, it's a red sky because it's early morning. Nice to meet you. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about the big crime of the day that set the internet on fire yesterday, where we're at, and why people are obsessed with this killing. We'll be right back.

why people are obsessed with this killing. We'll be right back. Skylight Frame is more than just a photo frame. It's the perfect way to keep loved ones close, no matter the distance.

And yeah, so the biggest healthcare insurance provider CEO was killed in front of the hotel that I stayed at last like a month and a half ago. And that is really part of the story. It's immediately made about the fact that you stayed at that hotel, that Hilton. Yeah, I noticed that you didn't write it in the store. It's immediately made it about the fact that you stayed at that, that Hilton. Yeah. I noticed that you didn't write it in the headline.

Look, I'm just glad you narrowly escaped this. Okay. Yeah. Very narrowly. How do we know the bullet wasn't meant for me? We don't, we don't yet know that we know very little. I was there two months prior. But this is a company United Care that had already been getting a little bit of attention because I mean people, cause they don't pay people's healthcare costs. They're the biggest insurance provider.

You know what I mean? They, the, the, basically what happened was I'm sure people know, uh, like a gunman just pulled up right behind this guy in front of the hotel and shot him down with like a silenced gun. So yeah. this guy in front of the hotel and shot him down with a silenced gun. Silenced gun. Yeah. Then hopped on a city bike and went off into Central Park and vanished. I think that right now the manhunt is on as of the time we were recording this since it

is later in Wednesday. So then basically he was later pronounced dead and the cops did say that this was a targeted shooting. So if this was targeted, what could the motive possibly be is what immediately, I think, launched a thousand takes on the internet. But I think that's what kind of makes this story very interesting and feels like we're on the,

I don't know, are we on the edge of something very different? But United, again, biggest healthcare provider. Most people would describe their practices as evil, which I think is pretty standard across most health care provider. Most people would describe their practices as evil, which I think is pretty standard across most health insurance providers. They bring in almost $6 billion a quarter in profits. That's disgusting. That's two billion a month in profits, okay?

Yes, this guy, Brian Thompson, his pay was reported to be around 10 million a year. So again, this is not a small business person. This is someone who's like at the front of like a gigantic behemoth company that again, uh, praise on people's need for health insurance to extract profits. So the most recent headlines just surrounding

United in general have to do with obviously like their constant denial of insurance claims. Like they by far deny the most insurance claims out of any provider. They've been using AI. Son, that's what he was about to get on stage and say, we're putting up numbers. We are denying so many claims.

Yeah, they're playing ball in by the diplomats. They were using AI to deny claims. They have, they're like antitrust investigations by the Department of Justice. And like seriously shady shit. Like they let their clearinghouse and claims processing system go down, which essentially stopped money flowing

to the physicians and hospitals that are providing the care that they are like, okay, now pay me for providing the care, you're the insurance company. And so that lack of money moving through the system has led to a lot of cash strapped practices that are being bought up by fucking United Healthcare. Well, you know what? You know who has a lot of money now that we're no longer paying you?

Us. So where, you need somebody to buy you? Exactly. Exactly. We could be interested in that. So I mean, there's a lot, like the one thing that I was really reading about like his Thompson was in charge of like Medicare and government programs and that side of United's business is pretty fucked up So for like there they right now they're in role ease in their Medicare Advantage program

they account for like almost 30 percent of like the people who are on like on Medicare. And again, they're doing this whole thing where they lean on doctors to put these diagnosis codes into the patient's medical records. And then those codes, again, those give you a score that are like, how healthy or sick is this person? And if you are more sick, then you are able to get more money from the government. So they they're telling doctors like, you need to put you we want these people it's it's beneficial for us as a company if these people look as sick as possible. Can you do this? And again, this is from this report quote Medicare Advantage insurers have gamed the system by excessively coding their members resulting in massive overpayments to the companies overpayments based on coding alone are expected to total $50 billion this year,

more than the Department of Justice's entire budget. Dozens of former doctors and employees at United Health Medical Practices told Stat how they became enmeshed in United Health's strategy to make their patients seem as sick as possible. Doctors said the company had a fixation with medical coding to generate more revenue, encouraging clinicians through bonuses and performance reviews to identify more health problems in patients, even if those conditions seemed dubious. I mean, I think most people know that our health care system is not like on the up and up. But that's really like you'd hope that

this event would maybe kick off some kind of reckoning with our health care system. But I feel like in the age we're in, we're more likely to probably see headlines saying that it's actually immigrants that are the ones that are causing skyrocketing healthcare costs and not the fact that these insurance companies are basically controlling the game from both ends. His wife did say that he had been receiving threats prior to this. This is what she told NBC News, quote, there had been some threats.

Basically, I don't know, a lack of coverage was how she described people's eyes. What people were mad about. Yeah. Yeah. Well, this honestly, this story sounds like the opening scene of a Batman movie. I'm not even kidding. Yeah.

And these are the most, this is the most unregulated predatory industry in our country and profiting like, and you know, the, the suicides and things that happen that go into medical debt and like, I'm going through this thing. I'm about to have surgery on my head to remove a mass in a couple of weeks. And it's been a two year long process. I have like, I pay one of my biggest expenses is like private health insurance. And it increases dramatically every single year. I was having so many, so much trouble getting these scans that I almost just gave up.

many, so much trouble getting these scans that I almost just gave up. I feel like so bad for people who made me realize so much about health insurance and the health industry and people who have real cancer and all this stuff, what they go through. It's just so sad. And like, I don't, I also don't like when people celebrate like bad people's deaths Like I find it barbaric no matter who they are Like I'll never be excited that someone was murdered because then you become just like them But like this is a true true issue and it does mark and maybe I'm wrong and chronically online But it also just feels a general escalation worldwide

of things that are happening right now. Just an intensity and escalation of energy that's happening. Yeah. I feel like a lot of the stuff we've been talking about in the aftermath of the election with regards to people being fed up with the system and voting the way they did because they just wanted to like go with the side that wasn't like the current system is working great.

We're killing it over here. I think the industry, the version of the current system as it, as it currently exists, that people that is affecting the most people's lives in the most transparent, leave evil and malfunctioning way is the healthcare and like health insurance industry. And so it makes sense that this would be like a place where we would see like something erupt on this front, but like, they have like some demonic practices. Like I remember when I was like tweeting through, I had this

biopsy denied and the, someone wrote me and was like, I work in the billing at the health insurance company and just so you know, they make us deny the first two requests automatically. Yeah. I was like, how is that even possible? You try to make people give up and then they, it's like, come back sicker. Yeah. Yeah. It's comebacks. Come'll come back sicker. Yeah. Yeah.

Come back when you're really dying. You automatically deny? Like how is that even, how is that legal? Right, and that's why United has like a lot of healthcare or a lot of turnover with people that are dealing with claims because they're like, what is that? Like you're telling me, like this person needs care and you're like, no, no, no, no, our policy is like

just to fucking deny it first. And then if they really want it, then they'll come back. Anyone who's ever had to deal with insurance companies, whether you have like good insurance or like bad insurance or, you know, health insurance in the United States, like their ultimate goal is to not pay for the thing that you need them to pay for. Right. And it's like And it's obvious. And they do a lot.

Like a lot of the, we've talked about people's suspicion around the Democratic parties, having these really complicated programs that people that are supposed to solve the problems. And I think people are suspicious of that. Because the corporations and the current system hides behind complexity. And the things that are always hiding behind complexity and long contracts or long bureaucratic processes is always fucking you over.

And funneling money upward toward the corporations. And they are the version of that, that most people are going to, theft hiding behind complexity is like their MO. I just feel like it makes sense to me that this is going to be a place where people are feeling a ton of rage. We've talked before about this book, The Ministry for the Future. It's a sci-fi novel, but it's about the near future and how things will start to break

apart and could fix themselves. And one of the things that they predict we're going to start seeing are these more class-based terror attacks where the thing that they talk about was like private jets start getting like taken down by drones like out of the sky. And like, that's the only way they can get like the wealthy to stop flying in private jets and then the wealthy to get on board with like a carbon based economy because they're like kidnapped and held hostage at Davos. I do feel like we're probably going to start seeing something like

that at some point in the coming years. It's an inevitability when you have such gaps in wealth, that people do understand that you can harm someone or kidnap someone to get money. It happens everywhere. There's massive wealth inequality. I think it's just like looking at, you know, the whole picture it is, yeah, like I'm like, this feels like for sure an escalation,

but again, like there's gonna like to your point Blair, there'll be a lot of hand wringing over whether or not this person's death was justified. But I think that's completely misses the point when the real discussion needs to be around whether or not like our greed based system of care is justified. That's really like if it's just all about who's who's the guy? What were they thinking? Why did they use a city bike? It's like the real the real fucking issue is that we have completely normalized and we celebrate this system of like squeezing profits out of

people to the point of financial and emotional bankruptcy. And like we that that that is immoral. And I know that it'll be much easier to sort of get into the minutia of things to avoid those kinds of discussions. But that's all of this. Like when you see it like your point, Jack, like the rage and lack of sympathy or empathy for this guy, it's all born out of the fact that many people have felt they're like, well, this guy is profiting off of an industry that quite literally puts people to their premature death in the name of profits.

And that's there's a lot of just that anger not being addressed. Yeah. As only I think going to increase, especially as people's financial situations get dire. And like people get like you read all these horrors of it. Like I had a I had a procedure done and they discovered I had cancer. But then they said they were going to deny my coverage because it was a pre-existing condition. Like then what are they? Yeah, like you're telling people.

Yeah, you're fucked. That's the message you're giving people. And that I can manifest in a number of ways. And I think it's still early, right? To know what may or may not have happened, but the police are definitely like, it feels targeted. Uh, yeah, I feel like the story is. Yeah. I feel like the story is people's reaction and the fact that people are kind of celebratory.

It's like that's a dark place we're in, but I feel like that's going to get people's attention. Whether the person is some assassin who's doing this for class-based reasons or for retribution or it's just, I don't know. My touch point for crimes like this that always seem like they're going to have one story, one shape to them, a lot of the anthrax attacks immediately after 9-11 where it just seemed like, okay, this is our new reality. There's just going to be widening anthx attacks and like that's how the terror attacks are going to be happening from now on. And then it turned out it was like probably a guy who worked in the

government anthrax labs who investigated the anthrax attacks and was like doing it to try and get more funding for his anthrax Labs because they were just like, like, I got the, the equivalent of that would be like this person, this killer is like doing it because he is in the industry of like security for wealthy people and he's like trying to get like, get business for, for rich people, which by the way, that is going to happen. Like the wealthy are, this is boom times for private security companies. I have to assume after this.

Yeah, but they just need someone. I mean, I know this has been said forever, but like they need to completely overhaul that industry. Like someone hardcore pass, put the hammer down, make some hardcore laws, like revamp the whole thing. But I mean, I think this is the gridlock that we experience, right? Because to most people, you're like, this can't keep going. And then to the people on the other side of that equation who are reaping the profits like this shit is never going to fucking stop. Are you kidding me? And we'll put as much money as possible into making sure the laws don't change.

And even if it is Obamacare, we'll find a way to start making money on other ways, even if Obamacare will cap the profits we can make on healthcare, then we'll find other like other avenues to profit off of which they did. Yeah. Obamacare was written by private, like people from the private insurance, healthcare, uh, health insurance comp, care, health insurance industry. Like that's. Yeah.

Yeah. Cause that's what before is like, well, we pay the insurance and then they're like, so there's a cap on what you make from insurance, but then, then they must've known this in writing it. They're like, but there's no cap to what we can make off of providing medical care. And that's when things started changing and this consolidation began. But yeah, I think that's what like that sort of frustration is because a lot of times are like with climate change and things like this, you're like, these people are fucking killing us. And you're like, how the fuck is there no recourse? And you always talk about like these people aren't afraid of like the proletarians basically.

And that's that like, and people are always wondering like, is that what they need? They need to be scared or whatever. And this is kind of like, I think feeding into that because that's you see so many people I think even Jack, if it comes out, and this, the motive had nothing to do with like health insurance practices, I feel like people because they are so enraged by the system, it will completely memory hole that because it feels like a clean cause and effect like these people are fucking monsters and that's just what fucking happens. I think so many people are truly just feel that rage in their bones because it's such a crisis. It's a real crisis like and you hear those horrific stories that are just so heartbreaking where someone will take their own life because they don't want to burden their family with the debt or stuff like that. It's just so devastating and dystopian. Yeah, or getting like divorced so then their spouse won't have to incur any of like the debt. There's like you're like, what kind of maneuvering is this? Yeah, that we don't. Again, this one's interesting because because when Shinzo Abe was assassinated

and that guy shot him with a homemade shotgun, it was interesting, people, the news, the way the country sort of handled that was sort of like, well, why? And then it became this larger thing about how political parties were entrenched with different organizations and there was a reckoning there.

I just don't, with something like this, I don't, will this actually, like I'm curious how the mainstream media covers this. Is it just gonna be like, this is out of control, people have like homemade suppressors and are walking around on the streets of New York, we need police. That's probably the way to go

because that makes existing industries more profitable rather than why and what is the big problem here. But I feel like then you start getting into universal healthcare and that seems to be a third rail. It's a non-starter, Miles. That's a, yeah. I think you got to understand. Fox News is going to be like, uh-oh, poor person was mad. Yeah, right. Yeah. Well, yeah, probably both sides want that to be the shape of the story enough that like

that will become somehow or another the story until they like actually catch the person and they're like, uh, it was actually numerology. Uh, I just picked them at random. All right.

We want to speak out, we want to raise awareness, and we want this to stop. Wow, very powerful. I'm Ellie Flynn, and I'm an investigative journalist. When a group of models from the UK wanted my help, I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry. I really wanted to be a playboy, my dog.

Lingerie, topless. I said, yes, please. Because at the center of this murky world is an alleged predator. You know who he is because of his pattern of behavior. He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it. He's everywhere and has been everywhere. It's so much worse and so much more widespread than I had anticipated.

Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in. It's not just me. We're an army in comparison to him.

And another week, another, uh, slasher film based on, uh, well known iconic pop culture children's figure. What?

I just, okay. Is Popeye a children's figure? I don't know. I mean, I grew up, I've, I've seen enough Popeye cartoons. I don't know if like in the forties were cartoons for kids. No, these are for sailors. This is their favorite show, Popeye the Sailor Man. You mean the sailor film?

Yeah. Yeah. I, so again, just like with Popeye and with Winnie the Pooh, all of these characters that are entering the public domain. It feels like the first instinct is to be like, let's make a fucking contained slasher film with this IP and. People are going to fucking love it. I haven't seen a single one of these things. I'm guessing that the fact that they're being more are being made, that

they're somewhat profitable. I have no idea. So the thing is there's a new. A slasher movie coming out called Scream Boat, because the early Disney cartoon Steamboat Willie with Mickey Mouse entered the public domain recently. And the side note, the film was entirely filmed on that decommissioned Staten Island ferry

that Colin Jost and Pete Davidson own. That was the actual shooting location. Oh, good. Maybe they're getting a little R.O.I. They bought a decommissioned Staten Island Ferry. And I think they were immediately like, what the fuck did we just do this for? Anyway, that's where the movie shot. We just saw the trailer.

I'm like, it doesn't look great. But my biggest question is, because I'm not a horror fan. Why? What the fuck is with just wanting to be like, yeah, man, make fucking Mickey like a freaky murder puppet that cuts people's faces off and shit. I'm completely missing the point here and I need help understanding. It was upset to see Steamboat Willie like that. I mean, first of all, I don't know if these are successful enough to, is it enough for them to just go viral when they release the trailer and then get 800 people to watch them and they make back their money? Because they don't look like they cost a ton of money.

It's like they're putting, sticking a well-known icon in the middle of- IP, always IP, this goddamn town. IP, baby. Okay, Winnie the Pooh, Blood and Honey did $5.2 million worth of- Wait, so this is like- Then they're making a great process.

There's a bunch of these? Yeah. Yeah, this is one, this is something only we know because we watch all the trailers when they come out. And yeah, this was one that came out like two years ago when Winnie the Pooh became public domain and it was two people in like Winnie the Pooh masks, just slaughtering a bunch of people at like a house that they had like an Airbnb rental would be my guess.

Yeah. But, and then the second one also made over like 7 million. So, and producer said it was a hundred thousand dollars. That's insane. That's actually, I guess that's what it is. That's a massive profit. Yeah. It doesn't matter the reach.

It's like, not bro. Look, I think the hundred and got 7.7. Like it's the same thing that causes people to like want to draw Marge Simpson having sex with Ned Flanders or, you know, like, or. Yeah. Sonic the hedgehog or, you know, they're, I don't have to list all the different cartoon characters that people draw Marge Simpson having sex with, but. I mean that you draw.

People, Miles. Okay. Sorry. Yes. People. What is wrong with people? Huh. What is wrong with people? Huh? What is wrong with these people are so sick these days.

So I don't know what's up with these sickos, but it is sketchbooks behind you. Yeah. Yeah. It is open up that mole skin real quick. No can do. That's one sealed. Sorry. It's a pages are stuck together.

It's one of the first things I've noticed that like kids get interested in like doing, uh, doing like profane things with like pop culture objects. Like my kids sing about like the Barney, the dinosaur song, you know, like that. Did you guys ever hear that when you were like growing up? Like I hate you. You hate me. Let's team up and kill Barney. Barney.

Yeah. And like that's still that has staying power. That was like a song when I was a kid. Yeah. And yeah, it like my kids are still singing it. And it's like the first time that they get to on the schoolyard, start doing like, like, you know, viral shit. Like it's the equivalent of like saying bad words to them.

My mom would always be like, you're not allowed to say hate. Yeah. Truly from that song. Yeah. Oh, bless her. Bless her. You know, it's just a figure that they're aware of and they get to sing songs about him getting shot or thrown off a plane, which I guess is safer than fantasizing about doing that to real people because there's a cartoon character removed.

I guess the thing that I'm more surprised about is that nothing has hit, nobody has tried this at a broader scale. Like it, you know, like it, it does feel like IP warfare. You know what I mean? Like if Warner Brothers produced the steamboat Willy thing, like does then, or I don't know, everyone fucking owns each other. So maybe it doesn't fucking matter. Yeah.

But like going with my Halloween costume test, where you look at the top Halloween costumes, and those things always have movies about them that do really well. Scary clowns are a very popular Halloween costume. They're everywhere in horror movies, and then Joker, and witches, zombies, vampires. These are all the top things that movies are about. And they've been like top Halloween costumes. I feel like a killer version of like Mickey Mouse

should be a more popular Halloween costume, but it's not like I feel like it doesn't resonate as much as you might as much as people would expect it. Probably because you have to go through the act of making it all fucked up Right in a bag. That's one thing but you're like no I buy mickey and I buy the fake blood and then i'm Fucking like that's I think maybe that's like the step that people aren't quite taking and then there's plenty of like killer cheerleaders and shit You know, sure sure sure I mean, yeah, I guess really the easiest, it's like always Occam's Rays.

It's like, no, they're being made because they're just, they're cheap to make. They're cheap as hell. Yeah. Yeah, the prospect of being like, oh, look at this terrible looking fake ass Popeye that looks nothing like anything I would ever be scared of.

We're like, but it does have those big football forearms. Yeah, I guess I'll watch that and give them my money. So yeah, all right. I guess we guess I'll watch that and my money. So yeah. All right. I guess we need to get into this game, dude. That's right. Yeah. I feel like we can do this better than the people who are doing it right now. Like is it does it always have to be slasher? Like can't steamboat Willie terrorize people in a way more like psychologically fucked up way than merely being like it's a little fucking mouse with a knife. That trailer scared me.

I'll be honest. I mean, I don't want to see it. I'm not a horror gal for that reason. Anything scares me, honestly. Being awake scares me. But that is a scary trailer. Yeah, it's not for me. Again, that's it's not for me. Again, it's not. Or me. I have a bias against horror.

I grew up liking horror movies and I have a bias against horror movies on boats for some reason. One of the big disappointments of my movie going life was when Jason Takes Manhattan was coming out. Then it actually was just like Jason takes a boat to Manhattan and like is in Manhattan very different movies on one set for five minutes at the end in Manhattan but it was just like Friday the 13th cruise ship was People on a boat. Yeah Maybe was like I know what you did that somewhere and that was another damn

You say true The water was a mariner that like a dock. Yeah. Yeah, the Mariner was the killer Yeah, yeah, the guy in the yellow slicker yellow slicker with a hook. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Fisherman hook. We're right here. What does he say? It was Jennifer love Hewitt and the rain. That's all I remember.

Come get us. We're right here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, which was very rude.

And I thought a bad strategy on her part, but she survived. So, yeah, Jennifer love Hewitt. I hope she's doing well. Let's see what things that become public domain 2025. Let's see if we can get ahead of this. OK, what do we got here? Oh, nothing. What the fuck?

There's Jesus. Give me a give me an easy list. It's like characters or something United is going to take some. OK, the the coconuts by the Marx brothers. Okay. Uh, let's see the cockeyed world is equal to what place, what price glory. Oh man, this is not good. This we are, this is not good.

I mean, the big one was Mickey Mouse and like I So in the trailer you just see the shadow of a small Figure you don't even really see the ears. Do you or do they like because that's you do you do? Okay? Yeah Yeah, yeah. Yeah. All right, please nice. I saw like look like the puppet that they use and that shit looks like just black and white Mickey Basically made of felt but okay will kill you you yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I uh the pop I1 was probably my favorite of any of these because they just like it's the dumbest we're it's the dumbest and like the most they're just like we're putting putting the money on the board on the table here we're showing you some of the gruesome like someone getting their scalp ripped off.

Well, look, I'm sure we'll get a Red Band trailer soon enough. So we'll all be excited. I mean, I wonder just because Mickey is so beloved and it's just so awful, like people will be so, I think, shocked to see Mickey do such a thing that maybe it will do better. Not my Mickey. Yeah. No, no, but this is Steamboat Willie.

We'll all go see it together, right, Blair? Yeah, totally. Can't wait. Do these even come out in theaters? Yeah, they do. Winnie the Pooh blood night, okay. Well, Blair Saki, it's been such a pleasure having you as always on The Daily Psycho.

I had the time of my life, never had a better time in my life. Wow, amazing. I don't believe you, but that's so nice of you to say. Why wouldn't you believe me? I love coming here. You just seem like a person who has a rich life full of fun experiences. Yeah, and this is at the top, Jack.

It's Jack's self-esteem coming in. Yeah. I can't imagine that's true. Maybe you were just like, I got to come here to see my family. Thank you. That's right. We are thrilled to have you back. Cause when you're here, you are family Blair. It's called hospitality.

I'll be in Raleigh and West Nyack New York and the January as well so look out for those dates. Hell yeah West Nyack. Is there work immediate that you've been enjoying? Oh funny that you asked Jack. It is so weird that I asked that. Yeah. First, you know, I want to, cause I know you have listeners that have listened to this. I have succumbed to the eight court books, a court of thorns and roses.

I, and it's like, yeah, these fantasy books are about huge buff muscled fairies that I'm obsessed with. They're so good. And I haven't. Fairies have a movie in them because they are always near the top of the Halloween costume list, but they don't have like a huge movie yet. They need it. You need to write it. Oh, they're coming baby. Cause this is sweep the nation much like, you know, Twilight and Harry Potter and stuff, the women.

And then aside from that, those books, I'm on the third one very much enjoying. Which one is that? Uh, it's the court of one very much enjoy. Which one is time? It's the court of Thor. Oh, yes. You know, a cot or a cotar. Yes, I'm coming to it very late. I'm like way behind. But I just he was reading this shit.

I was like, what? I'm sure. Yeah, they're really fucking and they are. They're so horny. But it's just incredible. And then the other this tweet, I like at um, at dawn gunboats and parody a picture. And it's a picture of Lisa Rinna and, um, Bethany Frankel. And it says, um, my sleep paralysis demons watching me before I take the Benadryl.

Great. Uh, court of thorns and roses. This is the one. This is the, I've been saying for a long time, we got a fairy movie that's going to blow up. Hello. They're developing it as a series and not a movie. They're fucking up here.

Oh, I'm glad. Uh, corny buff fairies. I cannot wear. I cannot wait. Yeah. Just drag it out. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Miles. I would have liked to see it on the big screen. What if it's going to be the next game of Thrones without all the decapitation and rape? Yeah. I mean, that's the, the high watermark would be like, if they, if they could get it to that level, but it's being developed on Hulu. Hello. Will they give, does Hulu do smut good?

Oh, no. Oh, how dare you. Smut good? Oh, no. Oh, how dare you. Smut. I mean, give me this. Yeah, but you want it to be done right. Oh, Miles, that's open to interpretation. You know?

Whatever, I'm saying, will it be requisite horny enough? That's really my overarching concern. You know, look, they did a nice job with Shogun, so one can only hope. Oh, that's right. They did did a nice job with Shogun. So one can only hope. Oh, that's right. They did do a nice job with Shogun. I only saw one episode. That's all. It's incredible. You got to go back, Miles.

Do they just is that shows everybody cutting their bellies open? I don't know. It's really good, Miles. If you stay with it, I promise. All right, Miles. Language they're talking. Yeah. Where can people find you? Is there work of media you've been enjoying? Yeah. Find me at miles of gray.

Wherever they got at symbols. That's all the old the old places and the new, including blue sky, which, you know, catch me there. I'll actually. Oh, shit. I start my phone. There's way more interaction going on there. They skeet. I like is from at Benedict's Red on blue sky. They said, I fear being rich no longer means being in the backseat eating Dijon mustard from the jar. Yep, for a certain era that hit also shout out to everybody who's tweeting their Spotify wrapped and showing us so much love.
