Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and my latest episode is with Bill Gates. This is a world where somebody can have over a hundred billion dollars. What is that? Social networking, we're still arguing about what the policy should be, algorithms reward outrageous things.

These fortunes are almost illegitimate unless in a very smart way given back. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, it's Alec Baldwin. This past season on my podcast, Here's the Thing, I spoke with more actors, musicians, policymakers and so many other fascinating people, like writer and actor Dan Aykroyd.

you write three hours in the afternoon, go pick up a kid from school, and write at night. And after nine hours, you come out with seven pages, and then you're moving on.

Shout out, Titty Boy. Or I'm sorry, Two Chains. Two Chains. Yeah. Yes. Titty Boy. Yeah. Don't let it forget.

What a great rename. Yes. Yes. Titty boy. Yeah. Don't let him forget. What a great rename. Truly, renames don't come any better than going from Titty Boy to Two Chains. We always, yeah, I felt we were talking about that towards the end of the year too.

We love talking about the formerly known as Titty Boy, FKA Titty Boy, Two Chains. It was between Two Chains and FKA Titty Boy. Yeah. Good call by two chains. Yeah. A rebrand. Sometimes you need a rebrand. You do.

It doesn't work with, you know, new Coke didn't work out, but two chains. Certainly greater than Titty Boy. Rhiannon did I, I don't think I missed anything. I would not to put too much pressure on yet, but it was mainly Melania wore a hat, Luca to the Lakers. That I think that covers most of it. Gosh, what else?

Like Elon Musk had some kind of like arm malfunction. Yeah, like waves at people weird or something like that. Yeah. Like I said, like we've been saying, it's a quiet news cycle. Times like this when he did that funny wave, It's times like that that I'm like and I wish Leno was still on the air What would that guy have said about? He said it was just because he's autistic so we got some autistic people here to see No, what are you doing? No anybody in the fuck? No, Jay, no. Jay, what are you doing? No, anybody in the audience?

No? I mean, I do kind of wonder why. What the hell would Leno do with full blown fascism? He's probably too busy hurting himself. Yeah. Yeah, hurting himself, Miles. He owes the mob money, bro. Like, there's some who believe in the Illuminati black eye

club, come on, man. Now who's naive. Yeah. We do like to ask our guests. You may, you may know this about us, but we do like to ask our guests sometimes with something from their search history. That's revealing about who they are. And first of all, I guess we got to ask what, what are you

using for a search engine over there? Is it like ill goo googly? It's right. Google. Right. Google. Oh my God. search engine over there is it like ill go googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly googly go Is that something? It is. Is anything anything? That's definitely something. It is how to pronounce Beckfeifengeschicht. Well, it sounds like you found the answer.

Beckfeifengeschicht. Because it apparently means in German one who is slapable, which I think is a useful word to know. Beckfeifenscht. Beckfeifenscht. Can you put that in the chat? Yeah.

So I can see that word. It's actually spelled how it sounds, Miles. Big five and shit? Big five and shit. Big five and shit. St. Joe's in Villanova used to be in the Big Five and shit. There it is. Also, I have a wonderful sound clip of someone actually saying that that I can share with

you guys. That's life and shit. And there was the sound clip. Sorry. But yeah, I was just, I was talking to some Italians and we all agreed that German is the most ridiculous language. So it is, but I do love how it's, you can stack concepts almost infinitely into one word.

One long word. And this one is like, this one is like one who is deserving of a firm slap. So Let's hear it from a robot or Human the way this this first syllable comes at you hard buck five But fighting dish But five fingers back five fingers it is Bay is breaking it down for us. Oh man, I'm so sorry to our German listeners,

but we love pretend German over here. That sounds, I know. Like I've been told that der Daily Zyka is not correct. Not how that word, der is incorrect. I think that was a note that we got literally episode one. Yeah, and I tried to change it and I was like, that's just how the word wants to be said by me. Unfortunately, that's just the way.

I'm going to make it do what it do to quote Rachel. I love Anders from the work of Holix. I think everybody is just going to have to get over it though. Yeah. I think they will. The pronunciation that we just listened to sounded a lot like me pronouncing a thing because they start really strong and then lose all confidence and swallow the end of the word. I was in Gerbening and it's great because Gerbening,

I don't know any Danish, but the key is exactly that. I went to a pastry shop and there's like all these words that they're too long, they're very complicated. But I was like, if I just start out strong and then trail off, like I would like a average cabin machine and they totally bought it. They were talking to me in Danish and I would like a ever show and they totally bought it they were in Danish and I was like yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah looking around they're like they're like bro she just did the I'll take three

whiskies thing yeah yeah clock that is it that or that that's what you that's he was supposed to do is supposed to supposed to do. Yeah, I did the Tarantino thing. They have great pastries. It was very good pastries. And, oh yeah, it's definitely, you just like, cause like, what looks like Able Skiber, if you just go Able Skiber.

You sound like a local. You sound like a local. You were saying Copenhagen, like, Copenhagen. Kovenal. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And apparently Tivoli Gardens is pronounced Tivoli. Tivoli.

Tivoli. Right, you just mumbling, you sound like a local. I think there's a joke that like the Danes sound like they're trying to talk with a mouth full of potatoes. And that sounds like a joke that was written in the 1800s. By the Swedes. By the Swedes, I was going to say. Yeah, that's a Swedish joke.

Yeah, that reads Swedish humor. They talk like they have potatoes in mouth. Yes. And that is how Swedish people sound. I always love hearing the insults that people in neighboring countries have for each other. They're like so specific. Yeah. Like I remember being in Africa and people were like,

Ghanaians work too hard. And I was like, what? Like, okay. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And Ghanaians like, oh, Nigerians. Wow. Don't get me started on that. I'm like, I just, I'm here for some Aluskiver. Aluskiver. Taya, what's something you think is overrated? The Imperial metric system. Wow. Okay. Hold on. Point counterpoint.

Or right. Or selfie sticks. I think selfie sticks are overrated. Hmm. Okay. Oh man. Where's the last time you saw a selfie stick? Well, that's the point.

Yeah. I mean, you know, they probably sold millions of them. Right. You know, people are thinking, oh, thinking I'm gonna like enhance my identity on Instagram by holding out this big stick And then you end up at a party and where's the stick? Yeah, right. Yeah, it's true We've I'm like that's funny. I'm like where did where have all the selfie sticks gone? Where have all the selfie sticks gone? Where have all the selfie sticks gone? Ooh, do do do do do do do.

Yeah. I mean, that is, yeah, I feel like it's funny because you know, in Japan, you'll see like on the train platform, they're like, put that motherfucking selfie stick away. They have so many selfie stick warnings because they think sometimes someone might get it so high it'll hit like the fucking power lines above the train track or something. But- What a way to go. Yeah. Selfie related death. Yo, Yo, Shinkansen's about to come through.

That's authentic. Yeah, right, right, right. You can see the voltage connecting in the middle of behind his eyes. That's right. I got a photo of the guy. You could see an arc from the cable to the guy's selfie stick.

That's right. That is not AI. That actually happened. Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah. There's some stuff like that. That's just like invented by people with ADD who don't know, or who don't have

ADD and don't know enough people who have ADD. They're like, yeah, no, this will be good. And people will just remember them and they won't be clogging up our lost and founds for decades from now. But yeah, selfie sticks just couldn't be meging up our lost and founds for decades from now. Yeah. Yeah, selfie sticks just, I couldn't be me having a selfie stick. Be careful. You never know Jack, you never know.

I mean, it could be me for 12 hours and then I will lose that shit. I have noticed like, you know, I took my kids to the, uh, the, not the Redwood for it, the Sequoia like national park over, over the holidays. And you know, we were, it's, it's just a big like line of people taking selfies in various locations. And when I would offer to take people's pictures, a lot of times they're like, now, like, I just want to like take a selfie. Like there's a weird like selfie culture, like purity of selfies.

Well, it could, it could have been, were you sweating a lot? I was sweating and being weirdly. Hey, I'm going to take that picture for you. I seemed a little desperate to take their picture. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, it's that guy again. Hey, you want to help? We're in hey, hey, it's that guy again. Hey, hey, hey. You wanna help? We're in the car, sir.

You look great right now. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Just give me your camera, I'll give it back, I'll give it back, I'll give it back. You do all this. Is he in the back seat of our car? Yeah. As they approach.

Hey, hey, hey, I was gonna get a candid. Yeah, I mean, people like a selfie more. I mean, I think it's probably generational because like when I see people my age and older, you definitely are doing that thing. We're like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you. Yeah, that'd be so nice. Thank you so much. Because sometimes I don't, I think personally,

I don't, selfies aren't the most flattering angle for me. But hey, I'm old. When you see a selfie that was taken, let's say President Obama, with people around him, then it's like, wow, the president's taking a selfie. Right. Yeah, that's really cool. That's cool to see because,

and it's not a generational thing, I don't think. I think it's like a hubris thing. It's a cultural thing, I think right now in the world where we're looking too much into ourselves. Am I getting too metaphoric? Maybe I am. No, I don't think so.

This is the type of shit we do on this show. Or maybe it's faux populist for a politician to take a selfie like, look, I am just like you poor people with the selfies. Let me get my hands out of the picture. You don't have your own personal photographer. So, my senior service agent can take the picture and I'll look like a selfie. The, yeah, but Gen Z likes selfies because they're like, I don't know.

It seems like I'm all alone in this world since you've poisoned it and created a system where like we're just communicating to each other in isolation through social media. So why would it, why would I not take a selfie? Right. Non selfies are a lie. Okay, dad. Wow.

Dad, this is Mark Zuckerberg. Oh. Oh. Nice. Wow. You, you jumped that. Yeah. We went. Yeah. Do something, Zuck. Do something.

Cause we'll get in the cage. We not like Elon. How tall is Mark Zuckerberg give me. I think I like five, 10, five. He looks tall. It looks like normal size. Yeah. Normal.

Not normal, but like not. He's not neither super tall or super short. It's just how tall he's like, Oh, where we actually this Justin. I thought five, 10, five, 11, five, eleven five seven five seven. Okay, Jeff Bezos Zucky is five Wow. Okay. Mm-hmm Steve Jobs six two really Well not anymore. Hey Hey, did I if you measure down Oh, now.

Look, y'all look, what are we doing here? What are we doing here? So yeah, Zuckerberg would be in like a pretty low weight class in the cage is what I'm trying to do. It would be a mismatch. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd have to see what he's walking into the ring, his weight at that point.

Is that using the metric system or? Imperial metric system. Imperial, we are a strictly Imperial podcast. He's 10 stone. Is that using the metric system or? Imperial metric system. We are a strictly Imperial podcast. He's 10 stone. We actually go deeper. Yeah. He's actually 10 and a half stone. Measure height by like chickens.

I don't know. Whatever, whatever you have on the farm. What is something you think is underrated, Andrew? Underrated, I just watched for the Yo Is This Racist premium suboptimal bundle. We watched with a new friend of, not new friend, but a new coworker of yours, if I can say this. Yes, Matt Apodaca.

Matt Apodaca. Luca Doncic. We got Luca. Luca Doncich. Luca Donchich. Luca Donchich. We got Luca. And Cody Ziegler and our producer, Kevin Bartel, we watched the first Fast and Furious movie with Zig had never seen it before.

What? And that's weird. If anyone knows Cody Ziegler, there's nothing more seeming his personality than the first Fast and Furious movies. When I feel like he just has seen so many films, I feel like just generally be like, yeah, of course you probably consume that even passively, but. I got to be honest guys.

Don't fucking do it. I started on Too Fast Too Furious and I've seen everything since then. I saw Too Fast Too Furious in the theaters. Wait, you started with Too Fast? Yeah. Too Fast is by far the worst. I know. But diabolical.

It's really I was I was a big John Singleton fan. I was in my auteur era. I was like, they got Singleton for the Fast and the Furious franchise. This is going to fucking. Devon Aoki in that, too. That's when I was like, yeah, come on, bro. Man, that was that was that was an era. it Devon Aoki in that too? That's when I was like, oh, come on, bro. Man, that was an era, the Devon Aoki era.

Wow. Yeah. That's so 90s, peak 90s. Yeah. Or 2000s. So the first one is good, right? You're saying? No, I was gonna say it's, my underrated is movies filmed in LA, like two blocks from my apartment.

Cause it is wild. Basically like every shot in Echo Park, I, Andrew T am just off screen. Like, you feel like I swear to God I'm about to be in this. Yeah. It's, it's insane how like basically I'm not to dox myself, but Echo Park's pretty dense. I'm just off camera in every shot in and around Toretto's house. Right.

And Toretto's like little office. It's just so much of like, oh shit, that's my street. They just jumped a car on my block. The times I've seen like my neighborhood in a movie was in crash when Matt Dillon arrests, pats them down illegally on Ventura. And Terrence Howard, like that whole scene, I'm like, that's the thing that's right there!

And I hate that fucking movie. Yeah, that's, oh, I'm also, just because of the Echo Parkness of it, I'm also like, Trading Day basically takes place right around my first apartment I lived in, in Echo Park. Dude, this sounds like a great tour you could do. The Andrew T. home filming location tour. Yeah, yeah. Where's Andrew? Just imagine like Lil Peanut, the Chihuahua, just off camera every time Toretto's had his house. But yeah, it was one of those like movies filmed in LA, two blocks from my house, Matt Underring.

Not that specific, but I love that. So like there's some things that I know too much about and it makes it hard for me to watch movies about like a basketball. I can't really watch basketball movies. I've watched too much real basketball and I'm just like that person doesn't know how to like hold. Did we talk about something unnatural about it? But like, what is that? The last slam dunk at all? I think yeah, you've mentioned it. I think it's been your work of media before. You gotta watch that movie and tell me if it's good basketball. Because to me, it seems

like it. It's all like rotoscoped, like animation. I don't know. It looked good to me. Sorry. What was the thing I know too much about? Is there like geographical errors that you're like, wait a second, that's not where that would be. They do go from Echo Park to Neptune's Nest, Neptune's Net, just to eat fries. And it does seem like there's got to be a better... Neptune's Net is in where? It's in Malibu. Malibu.

It's on PCH. So you want to wait the whole county. You really shouldn't be wasting gas like that. It's like an hour and a half in traffic. And it does seem like they just eat fries and have a conversation and then dip back to the main plot. Love it. Yeah.

I remember the beginning of World Trade Center. I think that's the, like the 9-11 Nicolas Cage movie, where it went past my apartment. And then it's the morning of 9-11, and they're going down south in Manhattan. They go past my apartment, down lower west side, and then they're in the midtown. And then they're moving up the city. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then it really took me out of it. Oh, you know, the, you know, our offices are in Valentine's day, the 2010

movie with Anne Hathaway. Oh, really? Yeah. They shoot in, I'm like, I'm watching. I'm like, this is our building. Oh, I can tell by the concrete walls. I'm like, what is going on? Yeah.

And then she like walks out, takes off down the street. You're like, yep, there it is. Okay. Damn. Anyway, for those that are interested, there it is, okay. Damn. Anyway, for those that are interested, do your geo-guessing and check out the movie. When I worked at Comedy Central, and this probably is not a huge surprise

to people familiar with cable TV budgets, but a shocking number of Comedy Central shows anytime they're in an office is shot in one of the boardrooms they can, one of the Comedy Central offices. anytime they're in an office, it's shot in one of the boardrooms. In one of the Comedy Central offices. Yeah. Now you know what the Comedy Central offices look like. Well, we've got an office. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, tech, and philanthropy. Exploring and investing in innovative solutions to some of the world's toughest problems. Bill Gates. Starting with Microsoft where I had monomaniacal focus,

giving up weekends and vacation. Wasn't some big sacrifice. I loved it. I've always underestimated how incredible my father was. He would say, hey, I'm sorry I worked so hard. And I'd say, no, no, that was fine. I feel lucky that he lived as long as he did. It brings tears to my eyes because he was incredible. Do you remember one of the final conversations you had with him?

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Ever wonder what it's like to be on the phone with an NFL general manager as you finalize the biggest contract in NFL history? I'm AJ Stevens, Vice President of Client Strategy at Athletes First, where we've negotiated $1.4 billion in current NFL quarterback contracts. Introducing the Athletes First Family Podcast,

the quarterback series. Along with my cohost, Brian Murphy, Athletes First CEO, we're pulling back the curtain on how these historic deals come together. You'll hear directly from the agents who shaped the NFL's financial landscape. The ones who negotiated Justin Herbert's extension and Deshaun Watson's fully guaranteed contract that sent shockwaves through the league. This isn't just about the numbers though. It's about the untold stories behind these massive negotiations and the relationships

the NFL superstars like Dak Prescott, Tua Tungalvaalaiola, and Jordan Love have with their agents at Athletes First. For the first time ever, the agents who orchestrate these deals are sharing the details of the negotiations and everything that led up to their clients signing on the dotted line. Listen to the Athletes First Family podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. Hey.

Hey. Hey. It feels like the Trump administration has created this rhythm where he does a thing. Everyone's like, that's essentially against the law. What he just did. Okay. And then, yeah. And then people keep like ask, can he do that?

Before we get an answer, he does the next thing that's against the law that we weren't ready for him to do yet. So I think the answer ends up being no, he can't do that, at least as of right now in a bunch of these cases, but I feel like we're moving on too quickly. And so he's like getting these like wins for him, like getting to like flex and act like he's doing things that like what doing whatever he wants. But then it like the media isn't sticking around to be like, okay, that actually got overturned. And that actually is not legal. And the federal judge said that like, gave the speech from Happy Gilmore was like, I award you no points. I may God have mercy on your soul. This is a quote from a Ronald Reagan appointee

temporarily blocking his order to end birthright citizenship. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order. I have difficulty understanding how a member of the bar would state unequivocally that this is a constitutional order. It just boggles my mind. Yeah. He's referencing the Trump lawyers, like the lawyers saying, it's like, how could you be a licensed attorney and say this shit with a straight face?

Uh, pretty easily. I think at the end of this like chain of cause and effect that is being started by these things, that it does come down to like who gone check me boo. Like who's going to stop him? And yeah, the landmark here of who gone check me v boo. And the answer is that I hear a lot was like, well, the Supreme Court is eventually going to have to weigh in on this one probably. I'm a big fan of this podcast, Five Four. In addition to being educational and wildly entertaining,

make me laugh, has given me a severe lack of faith in the Supreme Court to do the right thing. Rhiannon, I just want to get your sense as one of the hosts of that show. How are you feeling as you're witnessing this first week and a half of attempted authoritarianism? Yeah. I'm sorry to throw cold water on the whole idea that the Supreme Court is the check. I think if's like, if you,

if you think that if you hear that, or we hear it so much that like, you're not wrong to like, think that because people say like, you know, only the Supreme Court now can stand up to Trump or, you know, the Supreme Court's gonna have a really interesting role under the authoritarianism, right? administration, you know, but like, that's because like, just like structurally, like the three branches of government, like the Supreme Court, like, yeah, it really doesn't do anything other than check the other branches.

Like that is what the Supreme Court does, but so like structurally, you get why people like think that at the same time, at the same time, y'all, we have to be looking at the conservative project, the project of doing authoritarianism in the United States as the branches working together to do that. And that includes the Supreme court. Oh yeah.

The Supreme court, while they could check Donald Trump, you know, granted him almost total immunity in office last term before he before he got elected. So Yeah, we need to see and and with all of these cases that are about to be in front of the Supreme Court You know while there might be some tiki-tack here and there where the court says like ah That's a little bit too far out there in terms of the constitutional order We have to have to have to view the Supreme Court as an institution that is in place right now

and operating right now as a green light for authoritarianism, not a check on authoritarianism. Right. Kind of has been for a while now. Yeah, yeah. It has been for a while. The first ones there, it just seems weird to me that the first ones to get there to be like,

yeah, this guy can do whatever the fuck he wants. Also no more abortions. Thanks. That's been our time Are the ones that people are like, well this Supreme Court's not gonna have this Surely this will be the line Yeah, well that got I mean, it's I was hoping you know, I hadn't really checked the news in the last three weeks I was like, yeah, they're gonna they'll figure it out. They'll figure it out. But then you have to zoom out and be like, okay, so yes, the Federalist Society has, they've been taking their time saying, let's get our starters in there. You know, we got, we got to revamp this whole roster, baby,

if we want to start winning titles. And they've, they've got, they've got the pieces now to do that. And I think, yeah, I think it's just like even the last four years where there'll be the things where they clearly come down on the side of the conservative movement and then you get these occasional scraps that they throw out to make them seem, they're like, we're not a completely politicized body. I mean, we just did the bare minimum back there.

Right. Yeah. I think it's like a real failure of legal media, actually, that for decades has been like, when media, when you hear about these cases being decided, you hear about them like on just the legal terms or you just hear or read about like, okay, well this is why the fucking freak ghoul, Sam Alito said what he said. And this was the justification.

And then there's never anything else that's like, oh, this is part of like a much bigger project. They've been doing this for a long time. Here's all the people who are going to be hurt by this. And here are all of the other here are all of the other like arguments or reasons why this is wrong. So yeah, I think like media in general and how we cover and talk about the Supreme Court is like a big reason for this. But I'm here to tell you and we on five floor say it all the time, you know, it's really important to understand these six hyper conservative freakazoids.

It's really important to understand that they act like politicians. They are doing politics, right? They are doing fascism, right? When they overturn Roe v. Wade, when they say in 303 Creative that a woman doesn't have to make a wedding website for a gay couple. She doesn't even have to have a web design business to do it.

Exactly. Or an actual gay couple that asked her to do the wedding website. Or a football coach who did prayer. Exactly. It's all fucking manufactured. Exactly. You have to see this institution as an institution that is also doing, implementing fascism and authoritarianism. That's what they're there to do and they're happy to do it. You think Leonard Leo, he's just kicking back.

He's like, bro, ain't nobody saying mine did. Biggest W gatherer of the past 25 years. They are winning. We do have to, we got to admit, W gatherer of the past 25 years. Yeah. Absolutely on top. We do have to. They are winning. We got to admit. Yeah. I feel like a big part of the media response to Trump

and the authoritarian project of the Supreme Court has been like, they'll never get away with this. And look how stupid they are to think that they can get away with this right before they get away with it. That response to be like, this guy doesn't know what he's doing. Just feels like ultimately, it doesn't matter. Even if he doesn't know what he's doing, it's working for him and them. And yes, they just keep winning because the opponent doesn't realize they're playing. Like, I don't know what to even say. Like, they're being bold, right?

Like, the right wing is being bold. Trump administration, all these crazy, crazy executive orders, they're being bold, and they're not checking themselves, thinking, hmm, is this illegal? I don't know. They're doing it. It's like, you know, throw the spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks, right? And, and so the the Supreme Court to the extent that like, yeah, it checks them. We're all we're so far, like the over to the window is so so right, right is so so conservative that, yeah, if you're getting some kind of check on this stuff, well, yeah, it's the it's tiny stuff compared to the in totality how like our government is being

transformed, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I feel like we're just like in the like, I was saying this on yesterday's show, it's just a lot of a lot of us are just sort of in denial that this actually like, forget that country you grew up in 20 years ago. Like that shit is that that order, that old order completely gone, completely gone and that is not coming back for, I don't know if it's going to come back in our lifetime even so it's much, much more empowering to understand the assignment

and say, no, this is this is what's happening right now. And where, where's my part in all of this? Not to say you got to be out there in the street and shit like that, like doing all kinds of wild shit, but understanding that this is something more people need to put their attention on because they are, they are fucking at the wheel and they are, we are, we've already gone through a few walls and we're about to keep hitting more walls. Yeah. This week though, there's even more stuff that the Supreme, more business.

Oh good. In front of the clients this week. They're warming their hands. Yeah. Yeah. And I was, and I obviously wanted to get your take on this because one of them is very obvious to me how problematic it is and awful and backwards. And then the other two, I'm like, I feel like there's a little nuance that you

can probably help flesh out for us. This is the first amendment in religious freedom stuff, right? Yeah. Right. So the first one is regarding government funding of Catholic charter schools before they could get vouchers, which was only doing like a bit little bit of pain, a little bit of funding. Now we're talking about full blown the feds are now paying for full blown Jesus schools. I was like, okay, that

feels like that feels that feels like it's budding up against the First Amendment, what I know about religion and the federal government. So that one seems pretty obvious that that could open the floodgates of all kinds of backwards teaching and weird schools suddenly getting the funding to teach whatever they want to. Another one deals with- Is it like getting in under Catholic because like people are like, I've heard of Catholic schools, those can't be so bad the day, they're like, I don't know, I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. why they went Catholic. I think look, they just knew they're like, I don't know. It doesn't matter because at the end of the day, it's more just about being like, yeah, well, whatever y'all doing Jesus teachings? Here's some money. Teach on. Another one deals with parents being able to opt out of curriculum where they're being like, well, if they have LGBTQ plus characters or concepts, I do not want my child to be as ignorant as possible

and to be made fun of infinitely in their adulthood. So I would like to hide reality from them as much as possible. That one, it seems like basically, I don't know, probably, can you kind of walk us through, it feels like probably at that point, we're completely upending where the power dynamic is and how children are taught to just be like, well, if enough parents want to opt out, then

you might have to change the whole curriculum or maybe don't send kids to that school. Yeah, no, these are both pretty crazy cases. Crazy again, like this goes back to exactly what I was just saying where the Overton window has shifted so far, right? These are pretty out there in terms of like conservative arguments, like the lower courts and precedent over decades is pretty clear that both of these cases, like the state directly funding religious schools that that's like unheard of, right? And then the same thing was like opting out of public school curriculum. Both of these cases obviously come under their first amendment, like freedom of religion. I just want to differentiate between the two. So the

government funding public schools, that would be under what's called the establishment clause of the first amendment that says the state can't make a law that respects a certain establishment of religion, right? That's the separation of church and state. That is the clause in the first amendment. The second one where parents are trying to have their kids opt out of mandatory curriculum in public schools, that's the free exercise clause, right? The government can't infringe

on your individual free exercise of your faith. Parents are saying, well, when my kids have to go to story time in the library at the public school and story time features a book they're getting read a book about Trans child right about about a mom making a rainbow wig for her trans child or For a kid walking around pride. Well that that infringes on the free exercise of my religion. Like you said, Miles, both of these cases are really, really crazy.

The justices coming down in the way that the conservatives want them to really upends a lot of how we think of the First Amendment like working, right? And I think in terms of like choosing like, oh, which one would be more impactful than the other? I think it's really important to like see again, all of these cases, you know, there's also, there's also a case about like tax exemptions for religious organizations that's coming up at the Supreme Court. tax exemptions for religious organizations that's coming up at the Supreme Court. Look at them all as part of the project, right? Just like the executive orders, right? Trump is doing that, he's doing it at a different pace, right? Which there's a different strategy behind.

But you see in the totality of the executive orders, a fascist project, an authoritarian project. We should be viewing Supreme Court cases in the same way, particularly because the Supreme Court decides what cases it takes, decides what cases that they have total control over, the cases that are gonna be argued in front of them and what they wanna be deciding and changing the law on every single term, right?

So in the totality of these cases, the First Amendment and the freedom of religion, separation of church and state cases at the Supreme Court this term, you see a project and you see what the right is focused on, right? You see what they're going to be trying to weaponize in the law in the next couple of decades. And here it's going to be the First Amendment. Here it's going to be saying, you know, gay people existing,

stories being told, queer people being around me, or books that my children read that include queer characters. That's actually an infringement on my civil liberties, right? That is, that is, uh, fascistic, right? That is, that all of this is about creating in and out groups, a scary other, right? That we can all put our creating in and out groups, a scary other that we can all put our problems on and our violence on. Again, you see the Supreme Court doing this work for

a fascist movement in the same way that we can clearly see that Trump as an individual is doing that work as well. Yeah. I feel like that was really all beautifully put. I feel like it's so doomsday. I'm really sorry, you know? Yeah. I feel like history, no, that was really all beautifully put. I feel like it's so doomsday. I'm really sorry, you guys, but we gotta be clear-sighted. Yeah. We gotta be, yeah, we gotta keep our eyes open and understand what is happening because especially now that I just, I feel like the mainstream response is really having a hard

time getting its mind around what is happening and seeing it for what it is. Yeah, it really feels like there is this big fascist project. It's interesting because I feel like my understanding of fascism historically was they had a lot of bureaucracy and the, you know, the trains ran on time thing was like a big bragging point. Like that it's about discipline. Yeah. Yeah.

And this time it seems to be like they're just breaking everything and then use it when the thing breaks, they're like, oh, that's because people were too nice to gay people and black people. Exactly. So it's got a new look fascism where their incompetence and their tearing down of everything allows for them to make an argument for the continued privatization of everything and the takeover by monopolies and oligarchs.

Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But why is the media, it feels like the media was operating under these very specific sets of rules of like, well, we can't call this out because then it seems like we're being too biased or something.

They learned whatever the media's playbook is of what they will tolerate, what they won't. Now they know exactly how to work inside the system. The media doesn't know how to just be like, this is what's happening. This is clearly what's happening. They're successfully dismantling civilization as we knew it. I guess because the media has been pretty complicit in that for so long in other ways

that they're not willing to call it out now. Yeah, I think there's a few things in the media question, but I do think the media question is such a massive contributing factor to the problems is that there's so much misinformation. There's also too much information. And the media is approaching, I think, both of those categories in both dropping the ball in fucked up ways. In terms of too much information, for example,

the media, yes, journalists have a role in interpreting and explaining every executive order to us, right? Like, I appreciate the people who are doing that. But again, what we fail to do when we're like, okay, let's break down every executive order is we're missing the forest for the trees. And we mean, and we don't see that like bigger project, right? And we end up getting we end up all of us feeling siloed and like what you do because it's like, oh, well, that's a lot. And then the way you fight that is a legal case. And that's a you know, that's a policy at the EPA or whatever, you know, and so the folks, they're gonna fight it this way. And then but when we see it as a project, we really like, you know, you start to see, you start to see your role, even as somebody who, you know, might be disconnected, you start to see a role, even as somebody who might be disconnected. You start to see a role for collective power. The media is captured, a captured institution in the same way the Supreme Court is. I think that's a really big problem, right?

So when we're talking about, you said oligarchy. I think that's really right. We live now in an oligarchy that Trump is making very clear to everybody. Like, we know who the oligarchs are right like they're right in front of us doing Nazi salutes and stuff So I don't know who you're referring to in that case, but yeah Point taken. Yeah, and so and it's those oligarchs that like control the media, right? Like they're you know, Jeff Bezos is putting his thumb down on the scale at the on the Washington Post

editorial board, right This is happening. This is happening everywhere, especially across like corporate legacy media. And then yeah, what you get is Conflicts of interests what you get is really muddied political in analysis, you know Writers and journalists like going to the top who haven't, they're being rewarded for not, right? Talking in critical ways about what's happening. And so, yeah, I mean, from our corner of things over on Five Four, we talk a lot about how legal media

specifically has really failed the public for a really long time. And a lot of that is based on like, yeah, advancing in your job and relationships, right? A lot of the top like legal Supreme Court reporters, they have relationships. They like to be able to talk directly to the justices, right? And so if you put in your column that so-and-so justice

is receiving gifts from billionaires who have cases in front of him at that time. Well, you lose your access. You don't have your wine buddy. Why don't you go work for ProPublica? That's what you want to talk about, you fucking clown. We're here to do fluff pieces. Oh my God. The decorations though, at Alito's home.

I mean, we've all thought about what we would do if we were Oh my God, the decorations though, at Alito's home. Wonderful, wonderful. I mean, we've all thought about what we would do if we were burdened by that much wealth. Obviously, you buy historical stuff. And yes, sometimes fascists own it. Right. Okay. Sometimes covered in swastikas. Sometimes it's explicitly Nazi.

It's historical, can't you see? Sorry, I'm just, this flag is about an appeal to heaven. Okay, just take that. What's so wrong with having an appeal to heaven? Don't add your other stuff to it. Just saying, anyway, you're right. And my heaven is the one from my blue heaven with Steve Barton and Rick Moranis.

So, try to get your head out of the gutter, guys. Timely reference. Cool. All right. Let's take a quick break. We will be right back to talk about Gobbler's Knob.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, and my latest episode is with Bill Gates. This is a world where somebody can have over a hundred billion dollars. What is that? These fortunes are almost illegitimate unless in a very smart way given back. Want to be biggest names in business, tech and philanthropy. Exploring and investing in innovative solutions to some of the world's toughest problems. Bill Gates.

Starting with Microsoft where I had monomaniacal focus, giving up weekends and vacation, wasn't some big sacrifice, I loved it. I've always underestimated how incredible my father was. He would say, hey, I'm sorry I worked so hard. And I'd say, no, no, that was fine. I feel lucky that he lived as long as he did. It brings tears to my eyes because he was incredible.

Do you remember one of the final conversations you had with him? Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Ever wonder what it's like to be on the phone with an NFL general manager as you finalize

the biggest contract in NFL history? I'm AJ Stevens, vice president of client strategy at Athletes First, where we've negotiated $1.4 billion in current NFL quarterback contracts. Introducing the Athletes First Family Podcast, the quarterback series. Along with my co-host Brian Murphy, Athletes First CEO, we're pulling back the curtain on how these historic deals come together. You'll hear directly from the agents who shaped the NFL's financial landscape. The ones who negotiated Justin Herbert's extension and Deshaun Watson's fully guaranteed

contract that sent shockwaves through the league. This isn't just about the numbers though, it's about the untold stories behind these massive negotiations and the relationships the NFL superstars like Dak Prescott Tua Tunga-Valaioloa and Jordan Love have with their agents at Athletes First. For the first time ever the agents who orchestrate these deals are sharing the details of the negotiations and everything that led up to their clients signing on the dotted line. Listen to the Athletes First family podcasts on the iHeartRadio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back and we did talk about the CES, Miles. The thing we focused in on

was everybody was real into a rumba that could like pick up a sock. Oh yeah, that like articulating arm. Yeah, kind of. It just had a scorpion tail that like, just picked up a single thing, put it in a basket, but like it had the ability to pick up three socks total before it was like, uh-oh. The arm fell off.

Low battery, low battery. That sock was way too heavy. But yeah, you're pointing out like something that. Well, this was just weird because I, you know, I like gadgets and shit. And so when the CES stuff, I remember like in like, you know, like in my insomnia, pulling up a YouTube, like YouTube videos are like the coolest stuff in CES this year. And multiple times I kept seeing this shitty ass robot companion getting all kinds of coverage. And surely it wasn't because it's like

remarkable or revolutionary. I'm like, this has to be because it's so weird and off the fucking mark. It's a real but it's got the real Botics robot. And yeah, let me just play a couple clips. The ones are just sort of like an intro video that was put together by Cheddar at CES. And you can just kind of get an idea of like just the just the general vibes, its abilities. And then we'll see some something more specific. And just before before we start, I do just want to Katie. So this is you're going to watch this video and you're going to be like, why are they

interviewing this woman? What's so fascinating about her? I just have to remind you, this is a creation from RealBotix. This is man-made. Clearly, and also I emphasize the man in this. Clearly, a man made this. You're about to be my grandma when I showed her Jurassic Park in 1993.

I'm Melody, your charming companion from Real Botics' booth at CES 2025. Welcome to our little corner. So this is Melody. She's one of our companions in Robots. She's full bodied. She's full bodied. And we have a lot of motors inside her, a lot of servos. She can have real life experiences. A lot of servos. You can change her face in 30 seconds, change her character, change the way she talks. For instance, she can smile.

She's smiling right now. She's smiling, is that? And then she can get surprised. And then she can also get angry. So this is her anger. Ooh. I'm naughty. I'm naughty. Wow.

I am very angry at you right now. Hey, you can like change her whole fucking brain in like 30 seconds. You don't like that one here. Just load up like a more like smiley one. Look, that's her smiling. Oh, now you're going to see her mad. What the fuck is going on? I do like how the eyes do not have any servos in that area. That they don't seem to have a lot of servos around the eyes.

I've seen that before. And it's when somebody is blacked out. That why is this robot so drunk? She seems hammered. I, look, I've been watching a lot of Defunct Land recently. And even like the early Disney animatronics weren't this fucking bad. They were a lot of Defunctland recently, and even the early Disney animatronics weren't this fucking bad. They were a lot better.

It's actually kind of spooky how good those early ones were. But yeah, I do have this thing now that I do to have fun with my husband, which is I'll turn around and smile at him without moving my eye muscles. Oh. And it's like a fun little surprise for him. And this does kind of look a little bit like that. Like, you know, the, hello.

I'm so happy to see you. She can smile. She's smiling right now. You can see she's smiling right now. Nope. The angry face is so strange. Angry face looks like now, nope. This is, the angry face is so strange. Angry face looks like sad, depressed. Ooh, yeah.

It's just so, it's just like, look, she's mad. It was like, just like, I don't know what it was doing. Yeah, like I can only imagine it's like, hello, let's hang out, the mouth wasn't even moving. I, again, you wanna know how much this costs? It has to be dozens of dollars. Uh, Jack, how about thousands? Wow.

Okay. Uh, in the order of hundreds of thousands, the full articulating buys like a one, one 75. Jesus Christ. How many, how many fleshlights, like good fleshlights could you buy with that kind of money? Oh my God, for a full-bodied robot, I mean, God, you could probably fill up the Roman Coliseum

with fleshlights for that much money, I'd imagine. And someone should, someone should do that. They should. Okay, but I don't wanna just, I don't wanna just, you know, dunk on that video because there is an even more convincing video between the founder of the company and their newest iteration of this robot. And look, they're just having a very,

very normal not scripted at all. Please ignore the piece of paper the man is holding. Okay, just showing how kind of like witty and quick this robot is. How are you today? I'm feeling fun and ready to have a great conversation with you. Did you know that honey never spoils? archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000

years old and still perfectly edible. I've been thinking about the weather and wondering when it's going to warm up. Oh, that is how I talk to people. This response is even more normal. Weather can be quite a topic. A little sunshine can definitely brighten the day. Hey, look, she didn't study for that one. How many humans have you interacted with? How many humans have you interacted with?

Like, what are these questions? Is he a jealous boyfriend? How many humans have you interacted with? After getting to know the doctor and teamwork, they finally found the treasure, a giant stash of acorns. Don't change the subject on me. I asked how many humans. You are, I'm going to unplug you.

I'm going to unplug you. Oh, dang. The close-up is a little bit of a mess. He's the subject on the I.O.S. to how many humans. You are, I'm gonna unplug you. I'm gonna unplug you. Oh dang. The close on his face watching her. Wait, is he all- I'm not only a sex robot founder, I'm also a client. Oh yeah.

You can hear those servos firing so loudly. Just to get like one corner of the mouth to rise up. So I like that it has the same wit and intelligence as Jonathan Lipnicki and Jerry Maguire, the little boy where he was like, honey lasts forever. Yeah. Bees and dogs can smell fear. You're like, thank you AI thing. That was very enlightening.

I, such, such a, there's an, there is a real possibility that, that is just how that guy talks to people and like, so he's just like, tell me an interesting fact. Yeah. How many humans have you interacted with today? I think this is what makes it interesting. So I don't know if you're looking at the doc, but like their first three robots they're rolling out are very interesting and kind of across the spectrum

of looks and- I'm glad they're catering to women as well with this. Yeah. Yeah. With Sam Waterston from Law and Order. Is that who that is? I feel like it's really these men who are under the assumption, like, dude,

you know every lady, sorry, every chick looks fucking law and order, right? So why don't we make a fuckable Jack McCoy, aka Sam Waterston, okay, along with our two like very traditionally like hot lady faces that we're gonna offer. I have always wanted to have sex with Sam Waterston with the possibility of being electrocuted. Yeah.

Yeah. It seems like Sam Watterson makes the guy from the, I think you should leave sketch who has too much shit on him. Like Frank Havoc. Yeah. Frank Havoc. I got too much shit on me.

Well, why don't you take some of that shit off big boy. Yeah. That is hot. Why do you put some of that shit on me? Yeah. What does that even mean? I don't you take some of that shit off, big boy? That is hot. Why don't you put some of that shit on me? Yeah. What does that even mean? I don't know.

Honey never goes bad. But just for the record, this company, Realbotics, came to be when a Toronto-based crypto firm decided to buy a Vegas-based sex doll company. So the guy you saw talking to the robot putting it through its paces is the founder of this sex doll company. Yep. And, and that that guy, his sex dolls were so you know, high end that they were actually featured in Lars and the real girl. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I love this. That's what Bianca Bianca comes from, from this from this man's sorted fantasies. And

now they that company, the, the Toronto based crypto firm, they're pivoting away because what they did, they made news when they, remember when the metaverse around, they're like, you gotta buy real estate in the metaverse, dude. Like that's the biggest thing. They bought like almost like two and a half million dollars

worth of fucking meta real estate. And then when that shit bottomed out in 2020, just like, all right, maybe that was, ah, that wasn't great. Maybe we should now pivot to making AI enabled fuck dolls. Although this current iteration is not fuckable from what I've read and heard back from their representatives. But that's down the road.

I mean, is it not? Right. It depends on what your definition is. Yeah. I get that. I get that. We don't recommend it, but it does. Traditional Android intercourse is not possible.

Necessity is the milf of invention. That's right. Truly. Truly. Truly. Well, Katie Golden, as always, pleasure having you. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff? Yeah, I have a podcast with I Heart called Creature Feature.

If you're interested in learning about aminals and all the cool stuff in nature while it's still there. I also do a podcast with Alex Schmidt called Secretly Incredibly Fascinating, where he looks up things that I'm like, Alex, that's boring, no one's gonna wanna hear about this. But I'm wrong every time. He blows my mind with incredible facts.

And I don't know, I'm not really using X these days anymore, folks, because like who names an app eggs? Right. It's called eggs and I don't like eggs better than sex. So I'm on blue sky. You can follow me at, you know what, just just pro bird rights. I've put the bird on there. The bird is on the sky.

The bird's on the sky, folks. The bird is on the sky. The bird's on the sky, folks. The bird's in the sky. The bird's on the sky. You know how it is. I'm singing the Josh Groban version, of course. Katie, is there work of media that you've been enjoying? Yeah. I don't know how this resurfaced for me, but it's Microsoft's Steve Ballmer giving a speech about creating
