Starting point is 00:00:32 It's got a new trailer. Sony and Amazon blocking people's reactions left and right, even when they like it. So we're going to talk about that. I guess we won't do a true. We won't show the footage when we do a trailer breakdown because they'll block the stream. Silly algorithm.
Starting point is 00:00:49 Silly AI. Speaking to AI, looks like we in trouble. See those videos that are running around this new program. it's only been like two or three years. We're in trouble. Screenwriters and other people tweeting it out, we're in trouble. So we'll talk about that. F1 is, looks like there's going to get a new movie after all,
Starting point is 00:01:15 sequel, potentially. We shall see. So we'll talk about that and more. And whether or not Steph Sabrock can do it again. Can she win four in a row as she's been by her lonesome? Yes, there was one week where she didn't win, but she was paired with Roxy Stryor in a great stream. But solo, she seems unstoppable. Can she beat Rocha?
Starting point is 00:01:42 We shall see. All right, let's get into it. It is the Christian Arloff show here today on this Thursday. It's me. It's Deft Sabra. Let's do it. Hello. Welcome back, everybody, to the show. I knew that it makes up laugh. That's why I did it. So, welcome back. We were expecting that, were you? No, no. Hello. It's like, yay. That's all I want to be greeted with. Hello. Hello. Steph and I watched the Muppets. We did. That's a hell of a sentence. Yeah, we watched the Muppets. We watched the Muppets. Now, we watch the Muppets. What a switch it's going to be because we're going from the Muppets to like boogie nights. Right.
Starting point is 00:02:37 That's what we've got going for us. That's right. 100%. So we are, we're going to be doing that. I don't know if anybody's going to watch the Mubbuth thing. I can't tell anymore. I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:02:47 I don't understand what the audience wants anymore. I used to think I had my finger on the pulse when it came down. I don't understand. Everybody in their mother, they put out Kill Bill reactions. Ming had never seen it. I put, nobody watched it.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Nobody. It's like, really. Couldn't believe it. Kill Bill. I'm like, I'm like, that one,
Starting point is 00:03:02 that one will do well. Nobody gave two shits. So I don't know the mum of, will do well. I have no idea. I can't tell when it comes to these things. Sometimes like, you know, Game of Thrones will do well and DC movies and Marvel movies and Star Wars, I'm sure will do well. I can't tell. I mean, hell, when I put Warrior out, I said, I know what wasn't going to watch this. There's like 90,000 views. I can't risk it. I don't get it. I don't know what you guys want. I don't know. I said that like Bill Burp, but nonetheless,
Starting point is 00:03:29 I don't understand. I don't get it. What do you want? So, anyway. What shall we get into first? Should we just get to, let's, well, first of all, as I mentioned, since you've been by yourself on this show the last couple of weeks, you've been on Stopple. I have. By the grace of the chat. So thank you very much. I think you've won, what, two or three in the row? Three in a row?
Starting point is 00:03:53 Three in a row, right? I think three. Three single. So could we make it four? You have to beat Roca, who stands at 87 at the moment. Okay. Beatable. Beatable, but nice work.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Yeah, we got five at the moment. I you know I still think I think we goofed I think initially we had the the main topic today was that AI topic right which we'll get into and then we switched it to spider noir I think that was a mistake I think we should have stuck I think we should have stuck with the AI really yeah I think it was a mistake to go with the broader audience I just think it's a topic that people want to discuss and I think that we did you know because the spider noir thing I think people want to see it and I think it was a great trailer and you would know that because my reaction, I put the reaction up and it got blocked. Why do you think they do that? I don't get it. I don't understand it. I don't know. I had to, you know, I'll appeal it
Starting point is 00:04:50 and then it'll get, it'll get cleared. But by the time it gets cleared, everybody will already, you know, have watched it already. So, but I'll, the bottom line is I liked it. I dug the trailer. I thought, did you, did you like the trailer? I really liked it. I've been excited about this show. Of course, across the Spiderverse is one of my favorite movies of all time. And Spider-Noyer was just such a funny character.
Starting point is 00:05:14 And so I have always been interested. And then when I found out they were doing a show, I was like, that's kind of cool. I didn't know they were doing that. And then it kind of intrigued me because I feel like he is one of those characters. And I'm like, I do think he could carry like an entire show series. And then when I saw the trailer, I was like, I, because I'm not as familiar with the comic book character of Spider-Nor? I can't tell if Nicholas Cage made this character for him or if the character was made for Nicholas Cage. But either way, it just works. If I remember the Capes and Cowell's
Starting point is 00:05:47 conversations, well, not that that, it was, it was a thing that was already there. Um, but let me, but I'm like, was it this weird? Like, oh, I don't know. It's like, it's like perfectly tailored for Nicholas Cage. I hear what you're saying. A hundred percent. So let's, let me read this story. Um, hold on one moment. because, like I said, I can't show the footage. I was going to show the footage and I was going to do a breakdown of it, but now after knowing that it's getting blocked, I don't want the stream to get blocked.
Starting point is 00:06:15 I don't understand why they're doing it, especially when the fact that people are excited about this series. It makes no sense. Anyway, Spider-Noar, trailer promises an existential crisis, classic villains web swinging scenes. First trailer for Spider-Nor has been released, and it finds Ben Riley going through an existential crisis while trying to protect New York from all manner of criminals.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Prime Video has shared the first trailer and premiere date, for Spider-Noire, starring Nicholas Cage in his first leading television role, the eight-episode series coming out on May 27 that is produced by Sony, exclusively for MGM and Prime. According to press release, Spider-N-Norre will debut domestically on MGM's linear broadcast channel on May 25th, and go globally on Prime on May 27th as a big release in more than 240 countries and territories. The show will also be available to stream in two ways, in authentic black and white and true, cute, full color for audiences to choose their own adventure to watch.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Fittingly, trailer itself is also released in both formats, as you can see. Sneak Peak is a little zanier than we anticipated with Cages Ben Riley, seemingly the unwilling recipient of superpowers that he never wanted. The show's tagline is with no power comes no responsibility, an intriguing twist on the Spider-Man mythos. Action looks pretty grounded, though we do catch a sight of Sandman, a spider-like monster, and a fiery, fiery character who could be taking on Moulton Man, while easy-to-miss, Electro, also hinted, as you see, in the included screenshots.
Starting point is 00:07:34 There are some impressive web-sling scenes too. It's a live-action series based on the Marvel comic, Spider-Man Noir. He tells the story of Ben Riley, season down to on his luck private investigator in the 30s, who is forced to grapple with his past life, yada, yada, yada, yada. Okay. So you got Nicholas Cage, Mar-Morris, Li Junji, sorry, Lee, June Lee, Karen Rodriguez, tons of people. So let's see, here's some of the pictures.
Starting point is 00:08:03 That's the trailer, definitely not playing that. I get in the color. Okay, there's some of the shots here. You see, creepy. I absolutely loved this trailer, and here's another reason why I thought it was so great, is because it took the, it took that zaniness of what they did in Spider-Man, or into the Spider-Verse, rather, and they just catapulted into this live-action craziness.
Starting point is 00:08:33 And I said in my reaction that hopefully people will be able to see. This is what Sony should have been able, should have done with Toby McGuire. This is what they should have done with Andrew Garfield of the success of No Way Home. This is what they should have done as an animated film with Spider-Ham. They're taking this and spinning this off. And this makes sense because it's also in the Spider-Manloor. No one cares about Madam Webb. No one cares about Mofias, whatever the hell is stupid name is.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Nobody cares about these people. they care about Spitey or something connected to Spidey and if they would have put this out before into the Spider-Vress, probably wouldn't have done well, but the fact that he was one of the more popular characters and they're really taking the essence of what that was all about, that's the noir stuff and making it work. So I absolutely loved it.
Starting point is 00:09:20 I thought it was great. Yeah, I completely agree when I saw it. I was just like, you kind of forgot about the bad taste that the other Sony projects might have left. of recent and you were like oh okay like i'm so ready for this this makes so much sense for sony i feel like it's such a smart decision i completely agree i feel like uh into the spider verse is such a phenomenon that they should absolutely branch off with the characters like they could do a harley quinn type show with spider ham like an animated series with him yeah or put him in the real
Starting point is 00:09:56 world like i don't know like uh kind of like a roger rabbit would be cool too. I just want to see Mullaney voice him again. It was a lot of fun. Totally. And you have Malaney. It's like you had voices like Nicholas Cage and John Malaney like what are you doing here? So this just feels like a great natural progression of the universe that they introduced to us on the big screen. And yeah, I just feel like it's like really smart because you saw the movies and they were fine and fun to me. But this feels like, okay, this, a show just makes more sense. Yeah. Let me make this clear. First of all, thank you for actually approaching this like a real human being
Starting point is 00:10:32 and someone that has a conversation like a nice debate. I respectfully disagree as a Spider-Man, I do care about these characters Sony just executed them wrong. I don't disagree with you. And that's more or less what I meant. Let me clarify. It's not that I don't think that anybody cares about the characters in general, but
Starting point is 00:10:48 from the way that they've been set up, no one cares. And in the way that nobody would have cared if they just randomly did a Spider-Noir movie, that they just randomly did that, but they're spinning it off of a popular characters. That's more so what I meant. Like if they would have established some of those characters and in some of the big
Starting point is 00:11:06 popular movies of somehow, you know, whatever my, Craven, let's say Craven would have been introduced in a Spider-Man movie. And then you're like, whoa, that was cool. And then he gets his own spinoff movie. That's a different, that's a different story. So that's more so what I meant. So I think we're on the same page. But first of all, thank you for bringing it up that way. And I think I agree with you. So anyway, this is what I hope Sony then takes from this, is that they say, okay, look, if this does well, then maybe they start to realize,
Starting point is 00:11:40 all right, look, let's spin off some of the stuff that's doing well for us. Like, I find it, I'm just so baffled that they had the opportunity because the Garfield movie, the second one kind of, didn't do well. But then they didn't, he went through the same thing that Hayden Christensen went through. You know, like it was, ah, nobody needs any,
Starting point is 00:12:00 Garfield is Spider-Man and Toby was the guy and nobody cares about it anymore. They couldn't do a Spider-Man 4. Blah, they shouldn't have made this movie. And then years later, they were like, he was great. He was great. And then he's a standout no way home. So if they could have done and they made it that it was all canon within the MCU, they could have done two spin-off movies.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Again, I don't know what the legality of it is. I don't think, I don't think that it has, I mean, they own the character. So I feel like they should be able to do it. but I don't know what the deal was with Marvel. I have no clue. They can, you know, maybe they're not allowed to expand up the story that they worked with Marvel Studios. I don't know. But either way, this was something that they took from into the Spiderverse and now expanding it.
Starting point is 00:12:45 I think it's pretty great. Are you going to watch it in color, black and white? Oh, I'm so glad you brought that up. There's no world I'm watching this in color. Right, right. And I goofing on the audience. When I in the reaction, I said, you know, I said, you know, I said, And maybe they said, okay, maybe, you know, we'll do black and white, we'll do color for the simpletons.
Starting point is 00:13:05 It's like, it's like, I get it though. I understand why some people can't do. It's just not that type of thing anymore. People don't watch black and white. But I don't know. I think it wasn't, wasn't the shit, man, the Marvel special, the one with the, what was the one? The werewolf by night, whatever was. Oh, yeah, wherewolf by night was black and white.
Starting point is 00:13:25 And it worked great. It was awesome. It worked great. And I don't think they offer that in color. is just worried that people, I guess Werewhip by Night didn't have to have the same kind of success that maybe this does when you have the budget that you have and you have the talent of Nicholas Cage in there. So, so I don't know. I feel like people should watch this in black and white, but I get it if they don't want to. But I think, I think it really captures the essence of the film noir thing that you have to watch it in black and white.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Yeah, I agree. It was kind of like a no-brainer for me as well. Yeah. So anyway, that's, that is what we are looking at right now with this particular trailer. I'm excited. Another thing I mentioned in the reaction is that, you know, so Matt Sarah, whose channel I produced, he just finished watching a night of the seven kingdoms. You start watching it yet? No, I know. Oh, you got to watch. You really like it. Yeah, I was going to just binge it. Yeah, you should. So he just, we, he watched episode six yesterday. He wrapped it up. up and where he's and he loved the series and he's like well what else you know what else guys i love doing this what else should i start reacting and watching to it i'm like well you got daredevil
Starting point is 00:14:36 coming out you got you got um you got all these shows coming out that you know he's going to be into and uh i didn't realize house of the dragon was coming out this year house the dragon it's coming out there's tons of stuff he can watch i didn't even think about this one he should absolutely watch this oh yeah yeah yeah i feel like that's such a right up his alley yeah because he the Spider-verse movies. So this would be, this will be great for him to watch. And I think a lot of people, and now is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is a question. I think prime does only week by week, but. Well, no, look good. I think, I think there was, was it. And then was, in, in, in, in, in, maybe, but season two is week. So maybe they're going back to week, which I think is a good plan.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Yeah, I do too. Um, well, good. Stuff. We change, we change the, we change the, we change the topic and the thumb again. And we're, we're starting more people in your know. Luke. Shout out. Luke. Let's see. I can't wait to talk to you about this because we're going to be in, it's going to be such an interesting conversation. It's crazy though. We'll talk about it in just a minute. Okay. So the question before we get into any of that is this.
Starting point is 00:15:49 What did you guys think of the Spider-Nor? Did you love it? Did you not love it? Put your thoughts in there. Hopefully you guys are watching the Clips channel. Getting new people in there every single day. if you are watching the clips channel now, you just found this, subscribe to this channel. Maybe you can't watch the live show every day.

So we're hoping that you guys, if you're like, oh, I can't watch it this day, but I want to see what you guys are talking about with the Spider-Noire. Subscribe.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Come on, do it. All right, we're going to get to a big topic here that I think is, I think it's one of the biggest topics out there right now. But before we do it, I'm going to tell you about our friends over at Factor. let's do it. Thank you to our good friends over at Factor. I'm so excited that you guys are checking them out. They've been a wonderful sponsor for us. We're so excited to continuously have them on. And it also helps so much when it comes to eating right. And especially when you're on the run and you're doing something. People always looking when they're at work, oh, what kind of lunch can I have and this? And there's still
Starting point is 00:16:57 keep myself on the diet and don't have to go get fast food. It is absolutely incredible. Right, Steph? I agree. So what else? What was your favorite part about factor? Do you like the meals? Big shits, 100%.
Starting point is 00:17:17 I'm sorry as well. So anything else that you feel is going on in the news that we should be discussing? Right. It's almost like I'm talking to a ghost. Sure. Yeah, potted plants. I like them too. So you think she has any idea that I was just doing that?
Starting point is 00:17:42 She has no clue that I was doing that. I was talking to your empty chair for about 30. Oh, oh, so sorry. That's good. You know, pregnant people have to pee like every. It's true. 20 minutes. Harry just said something about big shits.
Starting point is 00:17:55 I told him they're going to pick it up. He was finishing taking a shit. And I was like, I have to pee. I have 30 seconds. We know 100% heard about the big shits. Oh my gosh. They heard you, Big H. The big shit.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Okay. Well. So much props. Okay, please. So much props. Well. So much props. I don't, I, I, I, I, I loved Harry five seconds ago.
Starting point is 00:18:29 I loved him more. What do you say? My favorite part about that whole exchange was they picked it up, babe, which part big shits? Well, fuck yeah. Big fan. My God. Big, big fan. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:18:51 So, let's discuss. Well, first of all, you got to look. You got 11. You got a little bit to go to beat Roca. Okay, okay. We changed the topic. So we'll see. You know, I was talking about factor beforehand stuff.
Starting point is 00:19:05 You know, it's like because like, you know, I posted this thing on, on Instagram the other day because I would now going through routines in the gym. So I had posted something that I just wanted, I think it was working on arms or whatever. And so I did and I posted it and I got a lot of messages of people asking like, well, because you can getting up there in, when you get older, like it's, it's not as easy when you're younger. And people were like, so what are you, what are you doing? I said, but I said, look, consistency is, is the most important. Like I go four days a week. You take, make sure you have a day off or a couple days off. I usually, if I'm able to, I go Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Those are usually, that's, that's what I try to do. That's great. And the consistency is, is the most important. But the other thing that's really important is, is you diet. and you have to you've got to I mean you've got to incorporate that in order to make it work and that's why I'm trying to give as many different options as I can so it's almost more important I mean you just have to have the diet component it just is not really unless you're young like that's where the age comes in like when you're like 22 and you're just having creatine and protein powder you could probably eat Pizza Hut every day sure Yeah, you're 100% no, you're 100% right. And it is super, super important.
Starting point is 00:20:35 So that's why I try to give people those options. So anyway, yeah, I posted that. And again, thank you to everybody who is very supportive. And it's been just been like a year now since I've been, beginning of March will be a year, but it's been close to a year. So I'm trying. I'm trying. And I hope that I can help people if they want to try to.
Starting point is 00:20:57 All right. Let's get to this topic because it's going to be an interesting, conversation because it's funny because whenever step and i usually talk about this in the long run i think we both agree right what's happening here just it doesn't it doesn't change our opinion of uh oh um so they they did you have you seen any of these videos i just saw the pictures in the articles okay in the article who get out of here oh my god i was like not bad she coming in here no he said ray who are you I'm Christian Arloff.
Starting point is 00:21:32 I host the show. Get out of here. I don't need you. This is my friend Ray. Ray Ho. Sorry, I meant Steph. Skywalker. Steph Skywalker. All right. Here's the video. You killed Jeffrey Epstein, you animal.
Starting point is 00:21:50 He was a... I mean, it's crazy. I literally hate the dialogue. It's crazy. The fact that I can be... I mean, look, yes, it looks like, to me,
Starting point is 00:22:32 it looks like the very, the much, much, much, much, much, much better version of video game cutscenes right now. Like, there's crazy shit that's going on
Starting point is 00:22:50 in these videos. Like, Yes, you can still tell it is not, you know, real, clearly from the freaking dialogue that was in there, too. And the problem is this. Because again, like, there have been screenwriters and people Twitter. If they can do this already with this new program with this C-dance right away, we're in trouble. Right? now that's what it's able to do in
Starting point is 00:23:23 2006 remember when you were in studio in like 2020 2003 we were talking about how AI was really starting to become like a thing it's only really been let's say three years since the really the big push of all this stuff this is what it's already been able to do in three years what's it going to be able to do in 10
Starting point is 00:23:45 shit what's it going to be able to do in five So the fact that they, right, people are right, but you're not, you're not understanding this. You're understanding this. Sure. 100%. Yeah, you can tell. That still looks like crap. It's been three years.
Starting point is 00:24:04 It is so scary that it was like, you look at some stuff that the last version of this thing did. And it's like, they're never going to get this. And then within six months, they do this. What's it going to do this? do in a year. And this, I will say, until I'm blue in the face, my generation, your generation, every generation that's in this chat is going to be the, ah, yeah, I slop and this, this, and I'm part of it. Oh, this, this, this, this too much. It's crap. No one's going to ever care. The younger generation, it's no difference. They don't know what CDs are anymore.
Starting point is 00:24:42 You know what CDs are? They don't know what these things. We didn't grow up with eight tracks and stuff, but our parents did. right they know that stuff this will become when they start to master it if they can make the soprano's ending the way that they wanted to end it and actually see tony get whacked and it looks real they showed a breaking bad scene stuff where walter comes in he throws saul against a thing and you could have told me it was from the show the only thing that was very noticeable is that when he goes to walk back into the kitchen where saul is the door opens up itself. So if you pay attention, you can see that they still can't get it, but it's scary.
Starting point is 00:25:22 I have an article that I was going to read, but what do you think before when you see these videos? Yeah. I mean, it's kind of like what has been on the back of my mind for a while. It is scary. And it feels like they keep updating things and the AI keeps getting better. And so we update the discussion, but it's kind of, you know, the same realization if you followed at all how technology works. It's like we had the razor one year and then two years later we had an iPhone. So it's like this is just a natural progression of technology. It does look better than it did six months ago. And six months ago it looks better than it did a year ago.
Starting point is 00:25:58 So it's going to keep getting better. The part that is, and that doesn't mean obviously, I'm just saying what it is. It doesn't mean I like it. I actually hate it. But I think that it's dangerous for a few reasons. Like have you been seeing those studies? Gen Z is the first generation. That's IQ is not higher than the generation before them.
Starting point is 00:26:22 It's because of all the social media stuff, right? Social media. And now with AI, it's going to happen with the younger generation because people can't think for themselves. Right. And then you just, so you kind of, you understand that's a part of it. Then you understand the environmental damage of it all and all of the energy it takes to produce these videos.
Starting point is 00:26:42 And then it's also like when you think about. everything we've been taught as humans. It's like, oh, you know, talent is 10% and hard work and your attitude is the other 90%. And it's like, I guess it's some work, but part of the beauty is like the hours it took to learn a program so that you can create step by step or of an original image in your head. And like all of this is like already IP that they're using. So I guess it will be like different to me or maybe I would adjust more if I saw like original characters but all they do is take known characters doing stuff and it's like I don't even know how to look at this through a lens but that's also the same argument where it's like you know the sequels today all they do is make
Starting point is 00:27:34 sequels all they do is is this and they never make original stuff there's tons of these original videos and other things out there the thing is that go the things that go viral are normal the Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, right? Yeah. There are tons of them that they're making. It doesn't mean that it's right or wrong, but they're making tons of these things, original stuff. But the fact is they'll be able to do these things because I showed my, what my wife is a big, she hates, hates, hates, AI, hates.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Yeah. And I, this morning, I said, look at this. Look at this movie. She's like, what movie is that? And I said, that's AI. She's like, what? And she couldn't believe it. And she's like, she goes, well, how Tom Cruise and Brad Pick and I feel about that?
Starting point is 00:28:14 Right. I said today they're probably not happy about it. But it's also why Disney's getting ahead of this stuff and everybody else is getting ahead of this stuff. And that's why SAG and everybody else put together these deals. Eventually, they're going to make, look, you already have, what's it? Is it Aaronowski or who is someone who's making, is already making AI videos and everything too? And get to another point about someone in the chat said, I guess I went to film school for nothing. I think that's actually, I think they'll start teaching AI classes pretty soon. film school. But I think that actors are in estates and other things, if they haven't already,
Starting point is 00:28:51 you're going to start selling off. Look at James Earl Jones. He had signed off his voice and other things too. This is going to start to be part of deals that are made in Hollywood. If agents are smart, they're already putting these deals together. Like, look, if I, if my, if my, uh, if, if, if, if you guys decide in five years from now, you're going to make a, uh, a, a a Spider-Man movie with him at age 22, you're going to pay him the same amount of money that you paid him with this. You're going to release it in the theater. It's like there's the business is going to be changing in the same way that I talked about
Starting point is 00:29:24 with what I saw the person's comment about film school. They said, well, what's film school for nothing? No, well, and this example was made on, on Twitter. Now, not that Christopher Nolan would use AI. He probably would never even imagine it or even go near it. Well, what happens if Christopher Nolan sits down and wants to make an AI movie? What's that going to look like? You know, he never will.
Starting point is 00:29:49 It never will happen. Deltora will never make it. But the difference between if Deltoro is prompting the AI to do something as opposed to Frank Biscuits in Detroit is going to be very different. And you continue to change it. Look, Kathleen Kennedy is leaving Lucasfilm to do AI stuff. Not being a proponent for any of this stuff. I'm just telling you of the way that the business is going to look at these things is that eventually if you have someone like a Kathleen Kennedy and other people already running AI companies and doing things, the business is starting to bend the knee towards it because these top people are not fighting it. People are, oh, we're cooked, we're done.
Starting point is 00:30:32 They're going to start teaching this stuff. And there will be people that will always fight against it. And mostly people in our generation, generation beneath mine, another thing too. But it's the Gen Z and younger that are going to be taught this stuff in schools. And there will be, there's going to be a new diehard movie with Bruce Willis at 30 years old. Right after the events and you're going to see it. You're going to see the ending. You're going to see these certain things.
Starting point is 00:31:03 It's why Disney's doing this thing too, stuff. Disney's doing the user-generated AI stuff eventually too. and this type of stuff will be out there. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. It will be interesting to see, like, it kind of feels inevitable of where it's going to go. And I know, I don't know if it's the article you just read or another one you said about.
Starting point is 00:31:24 The China. Yeah. Yeah. Should I read that? Yeah. All right. Let's bring that up. All right.
Starting point is 00:31:30 So here it is. This is a China C-Dense 2 video AI goes viral. Uh, yada, yada. Where the hell is it? Okay. people say Hollywood is now in danger. So here's the, I saw that Seinfeld thing too. Now, I did watch that Seinfeld one, and I will tell you that there's part of it.
Starting point is 00:31:46 You can still tell like this is, you can see AI face right there. Yeah. Like this particular AI face, like Tom Cruise is crazy. The Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt one was crazy. The race is on between China and US and the arena is AI. The latest hit to come from China is C-Dance 2.0 and AI video model that generates cinematic shots. So good that it has gone viral on social media. many, even people who know their A and I well, are calling a leaf that should make Hollywood shake in its boots.
Starting point is 00:32:14 The CDN's 2.0, which is not yet available publicly, but has limited access seems to be so good that within hours of his arrival, X is flooded with sample videos. Upon seeing what CDN's 2.0 can do, many users are saying, Hollywood is Cook, claiming now that anyone can now make Hollywood-like movie videos. AI video tools are improving at rapid pace, and CDS 2.0 seems to be the most capable, such tool yet, particularly when it comes to cinematic scenes that has been created by ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok. The model was launched on February 10, 2026 as a limited beta on the Jemang AI platform. The new model allows users to generate short cinematic clips, typically between 4 and 15 seconds using a mix of text prompts, images, video references, and even audio inputs. But unlike earlier texts of video tools that often produce glitchy or unrealistic results,
Starting point is 00:33:04 this model appears to handle motion, lighting, framing, and character consistency far better. This, according to the company behind it, is due to director-level control that the tool gives to users. The level of control, along with the AI model's ability to keep characters lighting and scenes consistent across shots is driving the excitement online. Users testing Seedance 2.0 are sharing clips with smooth camera movement and dramatic scenes that look surprisingly close to real studio productions. On X, users have been posting videos generated by Seedance that look straight out of a Hollywood film. Some clips show Kanye with style music videos with dramatic lighting, performance shots, while others feature. over-the-top action sequences from Will Smith fighting a giant spaghetti monster. The absurd, excuse me, absurd blockbusters like Godzilla versus the tiny cat.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Tom Cruise versus Brad Pitt. Parents just could see accuracy and details are too real. This is one of those ones. Let's see that already. While many users are praising how advanced the video generation looks, there is growing anxiety. Several are raising concerns about copyright and regulation. For instance, Justin Moore partner at a major U.S. venture capital firm, pointed to what she sees as an unregulated use of AI models and the copyright implications
Starting point is 00:34:13 involved. Getting absolutely mugged by China on video models because they don't care about copyright. And CDM's 2 isn't even broadly available in the U.S. yet. She wrote on X, it's going to dominate all your feeds with the real release later this month. It's pretty, I mean, she makes a good point, but that's that spaghetti monster one. There are also wider legal and ethical questions, particularly around AI generated clips that resemble actors or mimic established franchises. users are raising concerns about copyright consent and the risk of deep fakes. Regardless, Cedance 2.0 is leaving a strong impression showing just how quickly AIA videos
Starting point is 00:34:46 are advancing and giving a glimpse what the future of filmmaking could look like. Yeah, it's terrifying. It's terrifying in a lot of different ways, right? It's like she makes a very good point is that, and I guess the same question that my wife asked, right? It's like, what's the copyright on this stuff too? Because if you're already showing that, I mean, even that clip that I showed with Brad Pitt and Tom Cruz of what the absolute nonsense that they're saying into the dialogue is like um the
Starting point is 00:35:12 Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise and I don't want myself saying that that out of there. How do I get that off the internet? And we're still however many years we are into the internet's success and that and it's still the wild wild west on the damn internet. Um, and it's not regulated. So how long before they regulate this if at all? Yeah, I don't think the problem is is that profit rules everything. And H and I, Harry and I were actually just talking about this because he used to fly drones.
Starting point is 00:35:43 And drone technology is cool and it's awesome. And like you can, but very swiftly they brought it to Congress. And they were like, we want to ban drones because now we don't know like the privacy, the security risks. Like all of this stuff. And within months, they, you can't fly your drones. Everyone who owns drones, he can't get it up in the air because they just shut the software down. Oh, wow. So people are like, well, it would be too hard to regulate social media because that's been another discussion.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Like how do we regulate social media? Kids are more depressed than ever. Like revenge porn is like all these horrible things have happened because there's no regulation. And the question's not if they can. They can. It's just the profit is too high that they don't care. And I think that's how it's going to be for AI for a very long time. Like they don't care about regulation if it means profit.
Starting point is 00:36:42 Sure. The only time that they'll care about regulation is if people stop caring about movies and TV because it's become completely overcome with AI. When those companies lose power, right? Right. It's the same thing where it's like there's, there's tons of companies that that should be like, look, the political system in general. It's like, hey, um, this. this political party actually fights for us, even though we're pretty horrible, but we give them a lot of money. So we're going to be able to run this as long as we want to, as long as we give them money, we'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:37:17 And that's the same thing with social media companies, too. It's like, okay, well, we have advocates and we put enough money into their campaigns. They'll fight for us. They won't regulate it. They'll give us a couple slap on the rest, but we'll be okay to do what we want to do. But yes, Blockbuster probably thought they were going to be running the shop for a long, time and they had a chance to be Netflix and they blew it. Social media and other companies and other, this is why I say like when you see when you see
Starting point is 00:37:44 this wave coming, you either get knocked over by the wave or you try to ride it with a surfboard. And I think that's what Kathleen Kennedy's doing. And you can say whatever you want about Kathleen Kennedy. She's going into this now and she's like, look, I'm going to try to understand this because this is, this seems to be where it's going. If you're Kathleen Kennedy today, you're going, okay, with the C-dancing, let's figure this out. And Disney's doing the same thing. Whether or not you, again, agree with it or don't, Disney says, we can't fight this wave.
Starting point is 00:38:15 So we're going to surf on it. You know, and there are other companies that are going, no, we'll never do it. And there's other directors and stuff they'll never do it. Because someone even said it to, using my Nolan example, imagine the reason why someone or film or film students, right? The reason why film students, if they sat down and used this stuff, is like, they can then take, when you're able to, like, make full movies on this, like, all right, you know, the scene, I want, like, if you're directing it, not with AI, but just not be like, okay, I want to make sure that the light is hitting my actress's face at this. I want to, like, I want to make sure that we get it the right thing. I want to make sure there's a shadow that hits here. I want to do all this stuff. And you have a vision as a director that you want, and you prompt that exact thing in there. And then you're working on it. You're like, holy shit, this is exactly what I wanted. And it took me 17 minutes as opposed to a full day to get that one shot.
Starting point is 00:39:10 That's the kind of scary shit that's going to happen because eventually, eventually, like right now, yes, I'm with everybody that you look at it and you can still see. It's like, okay, it's funny. And people get bored with new toys very fast. Like Sora 2 is another one. Everyone was throwing out Sora stuff is sorry. And then I'm bored. What's next? And now this comes out.
Starting point is 00:39:31 It's like the little 15, 30 minute clips that will be all over Instagram. They'll be everywhere. But when you start making movies and you start not being able to tell that they're, you know, that it's AI anymore. That's going to be the scary thing overall because of exactly what they just said. It's also look at some of this shit. Every video I see now on Instagram or sorry on TikTok, Twitter is followed by at Grock.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Is this real? Right. It could be eating a sandwich. Is this real? Because nobody knows anymore. Right. Yeah. I see it even just in the comments of reels in TikTok.
Starting point is 00:40:11 This is AI. This isn't or whatever. Even on stuff that's like clearly off someone's profile in Israel just like questions the people are just like questioning things. But that like there's a few things to take into account. One, you can't underestimate the power of. what's the word like just the generations growing up and like brainwashing so to speak like where this is just their reality. And so generation after generation, if this is their reality becomes normal and like they don't have something to base off what it was. Like they can watch old movies and they could be like that was really good.
Starting point is 00:40:51 But they don't actually have the clarity of mind to be like, oh like people were in the for hours trying to get the perfect day. light shot and a perfect golden hour shot and like had to shoot this four different times and whatever and have that you care like you start degrading at the care but then in another way we don't understand yet what it's going to do to like not to be dramatic but like humanity and the way we function as people because even things like amazon prime it's like no one really thought about how that would like shape how humans are but it absolutely has changed the way humans are like now any minor inconvenience oh what do you mean it takes five to seven days oh i can't just get it on amazon prime like i'm probably not going to get that i'm going to get another product
Starting point is 00:41:43 because just like we are so hardwired for ease and convenience now in a way that we never were before and when you start making movies and tv that are kind of in that same vein like it's just convenient, then I don't know, like, what does that do to the viewership? Like, do people even care when it becomes to a level of convenience or will they not realize that it's a level of convenience? Like, you don't, you can't like account for that in its long term effect. Well, shit, look, look at, look how we are even so desensitized in general of like a loss of human life in certain things, right? Like, you look at like, so again, bringing up X. I remember what I was, when I was growing up, there was a series, um, VH,
Starting point is 00:42:26 chest tapes that were like, couldn't believe it was called Faces of Death. And I don't know if you ever heard of it. Right. And so Faces of Death was this crazy shit that you really, and it was just people, it was like underground kind of black market stuff that was hitting, hitting the, you know, the market. And people were watching. It was people, you know, taken out and everything. It was, it was, and I'm like, oh, I don't know, I want to see that. You see that on, on Twitter, scrolling now. Right. There's stuff of like, I, I, and not a purpose. I'm like I was scrolling through watching something something something something happened in Brazil. I'm like, what is that in my feed for?
Starting point is 00:43:02 And like it's just and you're getting desensitized to all this stuff. I mean, even like it's it's crazy like the amount of things that are happening. And because even with everything, that's a go into depth with it, but everything going on with the files right now. And there's so much that's coming out and you're like, wait, is that actually in the files that actually happened? And then there's like, oh, look, this guy's walking around and, uh, in the marketplace. Look at it.
Starting point is 00:43:27 And then it's like, look at the bottom right. It's, it's, it's generated by AI. And that's the dangerous part. Is that, I know,
Starting point is 00:43:35 I saw, um, the government's even using it now. Like, there was like a video after the, one of the Minnesota shootings. And you could see that they, it wasn't from directly from the government,
Starting point is 00:43:47 but a member, like a family member. Right. And it was, the car was AI. And it was like, you could definitely see it because it had the symbol and then it different didn't have the symbol and it's like that's so crazy so now you're training people to
Starting point is 00:44:01 actually believe things happen just by you saying it did and then having the means to create something to show for it yes and then i mean like you just can't tell what's real and what's not like there was um and i still have no idea like there was i don't everybody see this rfk thing the jar jar binks thing no i saw that he was eating yogurt for the super bowl and i I'm trying to see if I can, if I can, like, I said, this is 100%. Okay, so it's, it's, this is 100% not real. This is, this is, there's nothing been more fake than this. And I don't know.
Starting point is 00:44:41 Seems pretty real. It's him doing an impression of Georgia Binks. And, and it's so real looking that people are like, wait, is this actually, what, what the hell is happening? now. I can't find it. So someone said like, then we can't tell if it's AI. I'm trying, I'm trying to find it. Um, but just look it up. It's just, just, it's, it's in, it's crazy. He's a weird guy. So he might. But people didn't even know because it looks, because sometimes, you know, you move the mouth and you like, oh, I just like, I'm like, this is obviously fake. And then
Starting point is 00:45:17 people are like, I don't know. He's trying to make a point here. And I'm like, no way he's doing impression. It's so it's, it's, it's, I don't know anymore. Um, and it's, and it's, it's, um, and it's, There's two things. One is that, you know, I covered the UFO topic now. There's nothing you can do with the UFO topic now when it comes like, oh, was this footage real? It's AI. It doesn't matter what it is.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Right. Could be legit right atop of your house. If I went outside and there was a UFO over my house and I was recording it, that's AI. It's first thing that's going to say. And rightfully so. The other crazy thing is how much do you know about like the, and I know we've talked about it in the past, but the simulation theory?
Starting point is 00:45:54 Oh yeah, we have talked about that. Essentially the fact, like look at it, look at it this. It's essentially saying that we are in a simulated program right now, right? So I don't know what to think about that in general. What all I'll say is this. Let's say in, you know, do you think it's outside the realm of possibility that in 15 to 50 years from now, that there'll be a program enough in VR, whatever it might be, that not only, can you see these things where you are in this world, but you'll be able to smell it,
Starting point is 00:46:28 you can be able to touch it, and you'll be able to do, you know, certain things of that nature where it'll trick your brain to thinking, you know, oh, I'm in a pizza place. I smell, I smell the sauce. Oh, I'm in a, I'm on a roller coaster. I can feel the air. I mean, I can, oh, I just saw a bird and I felt, and I felt it fly by my face. Do you think that it's possible with the, with AI, with all these different senses that it can trick your brain potentially that it could do that in 15 to 50 years. Yes. Yes, absolutely. So if that is the case, is it possible to say that that's already happened?
Starting point is 00:47:09 That in 200 years, if you believe that that could happen in 15 to 50, that in 200 to 300 years, if you're putting that stuff on, that you could essentially create this. Thinking that you're touching a table, talking to a microphone, talking to people on the side. Like, is that possible? Yeah, it's possible. There's so much minutia with the human experience, though. Like, it's possible to desensitize enough after like years and years where you like forget things like, oh, I get sore after I do this amount of squats, but not that amount of squats.
Starting point is 00:47:54 and like you kind of like know your body and especially if you're more attuned with your body than some people are like you know little things like little creeks that happen that would take such a specific type of masterful AI to get to the like if I've already been living but what I'm saying is what if it's what if it's what if it's been an AI since you're born that's that's that's that's when your mind can explode yeah right do I think it's possible sure do I think it's have been no yeah well someone said i'm literally describing the matrix that's where the matrix came right right matrix wasn't an original idea by the wachowski's the the the matrix took simulation theory and made it into a move yeah so it's it's actually the opposite and then there's
Starting point is 00:48:37 like ready player one where they know they're getting into it but it is so real yeah look up what i always tell people is look up um oh my god uh oh my god what's his a j what's his uh what's his channel's name oh my god you guys know help me um i don't know who you're talking about no the audience does it but he did a whole thing on uh on the simulation theory and i would uh i would tell people to check people to the y files the y files um so i would check out the why files on the simulation theory to check out exactly what um what i'm talking about but it's do i i don't know what to believe anymore i don't know what to think anymore because i don't know like the day the day that you can imagine step imagine the day that you can say okay step you know i'm going to put a
Starting point is 00:49:22 VR headset on you now. And you're going to, I'm going to put, you're going to go to, um, you're going to go to a waterfall in, in Brazil, whatever, right? And you put the headphones on, the headset on, you go and you put your hands out and you actually feel the water and you feel everything kind of going down your arm and all that. And then I take it up, like the craziness of the detachment. It's like, you know many people are just going to, it's going to be like Wally. They're just going to be, they're just going to be, they're not going to want to leave because if you could actually do that and live, it is the major. If you're going to live a separate life to where you can go, okay, I can actually get away from my mundane job for a little bit and I can actually go to a movie premiere, be in a,
Starting point is 00:50:07 be a movie star for today. Will that Ready Player 1 type style in 100, 200, 300 years? I'm not counting it out anymore after seeing this stuff. Yeah, I feel like there's some people where that is interesting too. I especially if you, you know, we have like a super high population who is depressed. Yeah. And doesn't like their life. I just, I really like my life and I really love living.
Starting point is 00:50:34 And like the, when I travel, the sites are amazing. But it really is about the human experience, like eating the people, you know, tasting their food by them. And I wouldn't with my consciousness now, because I've already been born. and let's say I wasn't born in simulation and this is actually all real. I would not want to do like I wouldn't have an escape fantasy. Like I wouldn't be market today. Today, today. But who knows when you're when you're 60?
Starting point is 00:51:07 Who knows? You know who knows? You'd like to think it's going to feel exactly the same way. Who knows? I just think the technology in three years has changed so dramatically and so rapidly. and so rapidly that outside of just the stuff the Hollywood, you know, C-DAN stuff, there are tons of things that are happening.
Starting point is 00:51:32 And as I mentioned the UFO topic, whether or not I talked about this, and I'm going to probably bring it up today on the channel, is that there's, first of all, I would say, the chances of this, I think, happening are at 3%. But there's rumors from a lot of different people that say there's going to be a speech made in July announcing disclosure.
Starting point is 00:51:50 I think you got more chance of my water bottle getting up and doing a dance on the table than that happening. But if something like that indeed happens and if there is more introduction to different technologies and even if the conversation of disclosure is what these things are and it's technology
Starting point is 00:52:07 we've been working on for 30 to 70 years or whatever it might be, who knows? I don't know. I think that humans are, way more accepting and nodding their heads of like, oh, yeah, that's okay. You tell me how I'm supposed to live in the way that I look at everything until they say, well, actually, no, you're supposed to look at it this way. Okay, no, look at it this way. It's just how we are. It's how a lot
Starting point is 00:52:31 of people are just designed. They think that they're not. They think that they're not, but it is. Even, that's why I always use that some of people, what words am I supposed to be saying now? Cooked. What word am I supposed to be saying now? AI slop. What word am I supposed to be saying now? It's like, no one thinks for themselves. No one thinks for themselves. The quote even in this from the venture capitalist. Yeah. What did she say? She said, oh, oh, we're getting
Starting point is 00:52:54 mocked by China right now. I was like, it's just, it's like what the words that, and it's, and it's no, and someone brought this up last time. There's no different than everybody
Starting point is 00:53:04 who started saying cool at one point. Like, cool came out of nowhere. Someone said cool and that certain ones stay. Certain ones like, oh yeah, I remember we used to say that and nobody says that anymore. Of course.
Starting point is 00:53:16 It's just, and I'm not saying that I don't, I very much have taken certain things and said certain things that have been in the culture. It doesn't mean I can't hate certain things that come out there too, but we are, we follow, what's everyone else saying? What is everyone else watching? What does everyone else think is cool? What are we supposed to be doing now?
Starting point is 00:53:32 Okay, let's walk in a straight line. It's, it's just how it happened. Yeah. Anyway, what do you guys make of seedance and honest? Let's hear the other question. How many of you guys are going to be using it? And none of you are going to be being honest about it. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Put your thoughts, check it out. And I want to know, again, put it on the comments section, put it on the replay. Put it on the Clips Channel, man. Great. All right. Let's do one more topic. And then we'll try to see if you can take out Roka. Okay.
Starting point is 00:54:13 All right. Let's get to this one. We talk about Brad Pitt. Let's stay with Brad Pitt. I loved F1. How did you, did you like F1? You liked it, right?
Starting point is 00:54:22 Yeah, okay. It's really fun. Right, you like that way. You just didn't like Roofman, but you like this one. Yep, yep. F1, the movie producer,
Starting point is 00:54:29 Jerry Bruckheimer confirms, sequel is moving forward. F1, the movie recently landed a surprise Oscar nomination. That was pretty shocking. And a producer, and producer Jerry Bruckheimer has now confirmed
Starting point is 00:54:44 that Apple TV is moving forward with a sequel. F1, the FU, The movie raced straight to the top of the worldwide box office when it opened late last. Ultimately, it earned 630 million worldwide, making it the highest grossing sports film of all time. Wow. It was also last year's biggest original feature, delivering the biggest opening for original live action film. There's somebody in this comment section still keeps saying it's a failure. I don't understand how that person does math, but okay.
Starting point is 00:55:11 And the U.S. in the last five years, as well as Brad Pitt's highest grossing feature to date, film receives an A-cinema score along with oppressive 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite finding such an unprecedented level of success, a sequel hasn't been officially announced. However, F-1, the movie landing is a surprise Oscar nomination. Best Picture might have changed things. Talking to the BBC producer Jerry Bruckheimer followed the follow-up is moving forward. He said, we're working on a sequel. The filmmaker declined to offer any sort of casting details or even a timeline for when we'll begin.
Starting point is 00:55:44 but made sure to point out that he will, of course, be involved with that. Later admitting that he was surprised and delighted by the Oscar nomination, he said it was a long journey to get that movie made because we had to endure a couple of strikes, but in the end, the movie entertained audiences around the world. I never worked with Brad Pitt before, and it's really a thrill to work with Brad. Beyond the box office and critical success that F1 has found, it's not overly surprising that the movie is getting a sequel. This year, Formula One is moving from ESPN to Apple TV.
Starting point is 00:56:11 There you go. in the U.S. and the streamers are expected to make the sport one of the platform's biggest attractions. I will also say as much as I want to see a sequel here, I'm going to be disappointed if they don't combine this with Days of Thunder and they don't do a sequel. Have you seen Days of Thunder? Okay, we're going to have to watch it. Do you know what Days of Thunder is? No idea. It's Tom Cruise's race car movie that they did. Is it about F1? I'm not F1, but it's race car driving. You can easily make it about F1.
Starting point is 00:56:45 And I would love to see the two of them do this together because you have Kaczynski, I would assume he's going to direct the sequel, he should, who directed this. He directed Top Gun Maverick. I also think with this, you know, C-Dance stuff running around and Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise working together and doing this thing, I think they should play off of that. And I think that they should absolutely, 100%. If you did, if you combine the two of them, it would be a massive budget, but it would also, who wouldn't see a Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt race car movie competing race car, especially from a classic from the, from the early 90s, I think was Days of Thunder. So we'll watch that one. Watch Days of Thunder. You and it's, it's Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise. It's where they love her. That's where they met and before they got married. So yeah. So I'm excited for a sequel. even it doesn't happen with Days of Thunder.
Starting point is 00:57:43 It should happen. What do you think, stuff? Yeah, I think that it's one of those franchises that it doesn't, it makes, it makes sense to extend it because at least for me, who it was kind of an introduction to F1 for me, honestly, as a viewer, I have heard about it. I know it's extremely popular around the world, but I didn't understand it. I didn't know it was like completely new cars. and not using a actual car model.
Starting point is 00:58:14 It's all new to mean. It's very interesting. And I feel like it has a massive worldwide market. So in that sense, it makes sense. And then also it's like because it's the whole sport, I feel like there's so many stories they could tell within the sport that doesn't have to involve Brad Pitt. Even if they wanted to just go into a new F1 story, that would work for me too because I think a race car movie in general is just, a fun thing. So either way, it's kind of, it's kind of like a win-win, I feel like.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Yeah, I mean, look, I just, I don't think you should do this without Kaczynski. I don't think that they will. Right, right. That makes sense, but the characters I don't need to come back. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. It's as if it, it's, it's, you, you, you, you, you're playing off of something that was successful and in the same way that you, you mean, you, you, you wouldn't want Maverick to come back and Top Gun. You know, it's like, you kind of want them to come back. I get what you're saying. I know you. I know. I understand because you're building off of top gun, but you could have done a top gun series with different. Totally. Right. But it's just, it's not the same because you've,
Starting point is 00:59:21 because you've already met this character and you fall in love with it. If you're building off it, it's to say, look, look at social network, right? Social network is coming back and they're doing a sequel, but not really. Not really. All the actors are different. Well, yeah, because that's we like, it's, you're talking about Facebook who literally, has a certain, it's based off real life characters. I know, I'm just saying the way. I agree with you. Like the sentiment of it coming back, it doesn't have the same taste.
Starting point is 00:59:50 It doesn't it. Right. So, I mean, you don't need, you could, you could do, if you wanted to, you could do an F1 sequel with other actors in the way that you did Fast and Furious, right? Like Fast and Furious, you did a few of them, like you said. And then you get to a place where then you have to bring them back. you know, you can do so you do F1 or the sequel with other racers. And then the third one is many races up against Brad Pitt again.
Starting point is 01:00:18 But I don't know. I think you just kind of carry out the momentum here and do it that way. But I don't know. What do you guys think? Put your thoughts in there. Do you want to see a sequel? Do you think that they should do a crossover with Days of Thunder or let it be? I lied.
Starting point is 01:00:32 We have, I think, two more stories to do. Okay. As you're at 27 right now, let it build a little bit more. But I keep throwing it in. I think that's I wanted to bring this up because I would be really, really sad if I didn't.
Starting point is 01:00:49 James Vanderbeek Oh, um, passed away. And this one hits a little harder for me too because, so my wife knew people in circle was for what she did and
Starting point is 01:01:05 her, for her work, like she knew his, his wife. We'd met them a few different times and very sweet, very sweet woman. And he was very nice one, the opportunity when I had a chance to meet him. And just devastating story here. Devastating story. James Vanderby, of course from Varsity Blues has passed away. This is young man. He's 48 years old. He rose to fame with, as Dawson, Dawson's Creek. He was 48 years old. Van derby He passed away earlier after a long battle with Hulterial cancel.
Starting point is 01:01:44 His family confirmed that the news, I can't fucking read right now. I'm sorry. I need my glasses and I can't find him. Bandaweig passed away earlier today after a long battle with cancer. His family confirmed the news via his social media channels. In a statement on Instagram, his family said, our beloved James David Vanderbeek passed peacefully this morning. He met his final days with courage, faith, and grace.
Starting point is 01:02:06 There's so much to share regarding his wishes, love for human. humanity and the sacredness of time. Those days will come. For now, we ask for peaceful privacy as we grieve our loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend. Vanderbeek's career spanned into film, scoring a genuine hit with football drama, Varsity, Blues, and the City Black Comedy, the Rules of Attraction, other film credits downsizing, Harvest, Bad Hair, NJ, and Silent Bob Strike Back. Other TV credits include a major role in CSI Cyber and a fictional version of himself in Don't
Starting point is 01:02:32 Trust to Be in Department 23. He also lent his voice to the animated Disney Channel series Vampirina. The actor had been set for a reoccurring role on a mayor, um, mayorial candidate in prime videos, upcoming legally blonde prequel series, Ellie or Elle. He is survived by his wife of more than 25 years, Kimberly and their four daughters and two sons.
Starting point is 01:02:53 And one of the things I read that was just heartbreaking was that, they had spent a lot of their money on his treatment, that they were, uh, financially in trouble. So I know that there's a, I saw Paul Walter Houser posting about a, um, a campaign. And I think that they're trying to raise over a million.
Starting point is 01:03:13 I think that they've raised a big amount. I know that my wife donated this morning. So it's tragic, absolute tragic. Because like I said, my wife has been following this one, a little more personally. And she said, you know, because when my oldest was, shoot, she must have been three, four years old,
Starting point is 01:03:36 that we there was one of her clients my wife worked on um had us over and they had a bunch of the kids over and that's when we met James and his and his wife and and it's just so surreal because like it was it was only like 10 years ago and then within that time life right you know and like so I remember Sadie saying to me it must have been six months ago. ago she's like have you seen these pictures of him then she's like I just just doesn't look good so um oh that's great someone said that they raised over a million already that's great um they should I hope they raise 10 right seven seven kids or six kids six kids and it's I mean all by I mean that's tragic I hope they raise over 10 um so if you can donate and I will tell you I
Starting point is 01:04:31 can't tell you whether or not I from a couple interactions from what I gathered, very good people. From what I gathered in those conversations, what people say about them, very good people. So horrible when, you know, things like this happen to very good people, loving dad, loving husband, and gone way too soon. Yeah, six young kids. It's really, really tragic.
Starting point is 01:04:59 I mean, 48 is really young. Super young. When you're like 18, you don't think so. But once you hit like 30, you're like that. That is like you have more than half of, you should have more than half of your life left. 100% or at least half of your life left to live and be with your children. And I remember last year he had like a video go viral.
Starting point is 01:05:19 I checked and it was in March. And it was just like a very beautiful sentiment of him reflecting on his treatment. Yeah. Kind of the way he views his life and how we should all view ourselves in the world. And it was just really pretty. And in it he was like on the road to recovery, which. And then I, you know, I looked back and I saw the photos and it's just like things can change so quickly. But it also shows you how heartbreaking it is because it's like he's extremely successful.
Starting point is 01:05:48 Yeah. Millions of followers still, still love to this day. And even like someone like him, this treatment can be absolutely draining and debilitating. And it's just awful. It's horrible. I mean, they did the, I think what it was is that they did the Dawson's Creek. like reunion not too long and he just wasn't he just wasn't strong enough to make it yeah could do and he there was like a message that he had and he was like super thin he was like he was he's just
Starting point is 01:06:15 struggling man he's just struggling so um you know the the cliche thing to say and i hate saying it but i mean it is that i'm glad he's not in pain anymore you know doesn't take away from the fact that it adds more pain to his family adds more pain to his poor kids his wife but I'm sure they feel the same way. You don't ever want to see people struggling that way. And it's like, look, it'd be great if he was able to bounce back and he's able to fight this thing off. But he didn't. He was struggling and he was hurting.
Starting point is 01:06:48 And nobody wants to see that. Right. You don't see someone you love, struggle with that and horrible. So there's really nothing else you can say except, you know, God bless. And I'm so happy that they've already raised that kind of money. I hope that people go and donate to them. And like I said, I hope they raised $10 million. I hope that kids never have to struggle ever.
Starting point is 01:07:08 So we'll see. All right. Guys, put your memories, Bannerby, put your thoughts in there. Gone too soon, 48 years old. All right. No easy transition. Let's talk about something positive. You want to talk about something positive stuff?
Starting point is 01:07:24 Yeah. All right. Let's talk about something positive. Snow White lost $170 million for Disney. Oh, my gosh. Almost a year ago. came Disney's live action snow white film which proved a disaster generating global box office of just 205 million worldwide from a reported budget of 240 270 at the time multiple reasons were cited as
Starting point is 01:07:45 being part of the film's failure from nearly century old Disney IP multiple snow white adaptations in the past the bad mix reviews and online backlash against the film there was a full swing for release that said over a billion dollar grossing lilo and stitch shows that the appetite for live action and Disney remakes still there, but more for the 1990s, 2000 titles than for films that came out when their grandfathers. I don't agree with that at all. Now, a new report from Forbes has cited company filings, which indicate the studio will end up losing a reported $168 million on the project, as they indicate the film was forecasted to be over the production
Starting point is 01:08:18 budget, which costs adding up to $336 million. Yikes. That said, the UK government reimbursed $64.9 million of the movies cost, which brings its expenses down to $2.71, minus the studio share of box. office revenue, an estimated 102, and that's how the loss was calculated. That said, doesn't take into account either marketing expenses, really,
Starting point is 01:08:39 oh my God, or home entertainment merchandise. The filings go up at the end of December, so it's going to be more than that. Marketing. Yeah, this is a disaster. I didn't hate the movie. It wasn't very good, but I didn't hate it. It wasn't, like, it should have been,
Starting point is 01:08:56 Galgado was terrible. I mean, really. She was terrible. She was terrible. It was like an S&L sketch on her side of things. She was terrible. She was not, she should not have been in that movie. No. Rachel was really good in the movie.
Starting point is 01:09:11 Yeah. She did the movie no favors in her press leading up to it at all. I think it was that there were sometimes when I go, it's not, that's not going to push over to the mainstream media, the mainstream audience. They're not going to care. This was not one of those cases. This was the star of this. And they, they went away. from the I it doesn't matter if it's this or anything you go away from the essence of what the story is about um you're gonna lose people you're gonna lose people and you lost it wasn't in control of what the essence of the story was about um I mean certainly she she she had a lot of input and she made it very clear about that with why she did the movie and other things about the the film and she and she almost talked down to people who were that were fans of it initially and then she walked
Starting point is 01:10:01 those comments back, but damage had been done. And it just, I just don't, I just don't think that, um, there were so many different factors in this thing. It just didn't work out. And like I said, I walked, I expected, when I walked in this movie, I expected one of the worst things that I ever saw. And I didn't. And I got shit for it.
Starting point is 01:10:18 Oh my God. I thought the movie going to stink. I didn't think that it wasn't great, but I didn't hate it. And then she was that bad. I'm sorry. I think, I think she promoted herself like a dopey, but I can't, but I'm not going to make it up because I, I thought she was good in it.
Starting point is 01:10:33 She was good. She's great singer. She's an amazing singer. Amazing. She's a great actress. I thought she was great in the Hunger Games. She's great. Really good.
Starting point is 01:10:43 So, but this movie, it fools no one. It was a big stinger. Yeah. I don't necessarily agree with her affecting because I just think I go back to thinking about the general audience and my test of the general audience is my parents. if I asked them if they had any idea about, A, who Rachel Ziegler is, they might not know, but be certainly not what she said about Snow White.
Starting point is 01:11:11 So I just have, that's what I go off of of what other people, whether I'm right or wrong, don't know. That's just my opinion on that. What I think was wrong about it, it was like, yeah, the press was just completely mishandled. Like, there was no fun press about it. It was clear Rachel Zegler and Galgado don't. get along. That's fun for no one.
Starting point is 01:11:32 You know, movies can be made on the co, the two leads liking each other in press. And people will be interested in seeing that. That didn't happen at all. And then it's like, you know, with the dwarves, that was crazy, looks crazy from the get. And they changed up so many different times. And I think Peter Dinklage did not help them out on that one either.
Starting point is 01:11:55 I think he was, I think Peter Dinklage was a big part of why this movie did stinky too. And yeah, there was a lot. There was a lot of... There was a lot there. Yeah. So that's a huge huge failure. Yeah. It was a massive...
Starting point is 01:12:11 I actually didn't finish it because I was like, the gal could just took me. I just couldn't. Yeah, she was bad. My eight-year-old was like, I said, what do you think? Macy? She goes, and then at the end, and I go, do you like it? And when she was watching it, and when she was watching it, it's like, yeah. And then at the end, she goes,
Starting point is 01:12:29 if she doesn't watch it 87 times she doesn't like it the amount of time she's watched henry danger i think she's on her like our eighth watch of the henry danger series she's seen it a thousand different times she watches henry danger all the damn time which is great because my buddy cooper barns plays captain man that show for for parents that is a criminally underrated kid show i see it henry watch when when your little one gets old enough what it is so clever and it's so Cooper is so funny and I think that it's not fair that you get judged sometimes on because you're on a, you know, one of the Nickelodeon shows. His timing has always, I've known him for years.
Starting point is 01:13:12 He's got amazing comedic talent. He is, he's a really, really funny dude. And he's great on that show. And I, and it's one of the, my wife is not an easy audience. And every single time my kids, both my kids have watched that show. And every single time you watch that show, my wife, belly laughs from the stuff. Oh, really? Yeah, she belly laughs. Okay. I didn't even seen that before. It's a it's a really good kids TV show. It really is and it's got
Starting point is 01:13:40 because it's got those kind of jokes that works for both adults. Yeah. So and I think and I think Cooper should get more more gigs. Cooper is Cooper's awesome. If my show goes to series I'm going to find a role for Cooper 100%. Yeah. Oh, that's
Starting point is 01:13:58 awesome. A hundred percent. I think He's so good. Especially if he's funny. That's perfect. He's super funny and his timing is incredible. So anyway. All righty. What are you guys thinking about all this shit, man?
Starting point is 01:14:13 Put your thoughts in there. Let us know. Clips. You know, other stuff. Good night. Okay. Let's get to the question, Steph. It is time.

It looks really fun and like you don't need much background, which I think people will be relieved about in this era of superhero stuff agreed agreed um as far as starting in the own show yes um so i wrote the show with myself in in mind for lead and and when i reworked the
Starting point is 01:16:14 the the idea um and i reworked it from scratch with martini uh parotori my writing partner we structured the whole entire thing uh of the character for her so it fits our person personalities and now the goal is with the castings that we're going to start to really put we're going to go after you know well-known actors that's the that's the deal that's what we're going to try to do so and and I'm hopefully going to have um my goal is that March is going to be the month that I can really start kicking this out to you guys it's like I hate the whole hurry up and wait thing but it's what I've been going through for the last five months um Zikin um um um um I fall asleep to your videos on a custom playlist

Starting point is 01:22:19 So, but yeah, it's like, because you got to remember when you're, going round and round just wondering. Stop. Like he used to do, he used to do this thing.
Starting point is 01:22:34 My favorite bit that he did was the one about the latte. And he would be like, he like, now you got grown men going to the store.

Yeah, I mean, so I'm saying, this is a simulation here. We're already, we're already here. And all the other twoers are already
Starting point is 01:23:49 interactive AI that can respond to live comments and such. You're already all Truman show shenanigans. Yeah, I literally, That's what he literally said before. You wouldn't know. It's mind-boggling. He really is. Dougie.
Starting point is 01:24:03 Lidolidolidoo-d-d-do-de-do-de-do-de-do-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-ddle-do-do. That's my favorite. I love when people tell me not to do it. Oh, yeah. No, you should. Yes. Red carpet talk. I was briefly part of NYU's first virtual production program with an ILM-funded volume.
Starting point is 01:24:23 I can confirm. film schools are already teaching generative AI. Yeah. And that's today. I feel like Sam knows everything. Who? Red Carpetog. Oh, it's Sam. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Red Carpet Talk is in the no. Yeah. And that makes sense. I'm telling you. And that's today. Remember how people like for people my age, when computer, the way they taught computer science was bullshit computers. Now they teach things like like this. And they started teaching computer science and all this of years and years and years. years ago. Now, yeah, as more people learn how to do it, I mean nuts. Notso. Wiley OFC, I feel like AI will go the way of the music license. People will buy the license of an actor to use them in
Starting point is 01:25:06 their AI projects. Call comes down to money. One thousand percent. That's exactly what's going to happen. Think about it. Like if you're, if you were an actor that, you know, was in a very popular show that since you haven't really able to get work and people want to start making new seasons of that but you've got to sign off on it and you get to make money with them doing it and you get money every time they do it. You wouldn't do it? Of course you would.
Starting point is 01:25:36 Of course you would. I just talked to a friend the other day. Actor, very successful actor. Hasn't had something in a bit. And it's like it's the worst. It is the worst feeling. I can only imagine. It is the worst feeling when you have the kind of talent that some of these people have and you're not booking stuff. And then it's like, it's like, hey, I'm able to, you want to use me to be in for that? Sure. Use my likeness.
Starting point is 01:26:02 It's why a lot of these people, you make their money at the, at the comic cons and stuff. Right. Because it's like, it's a tough gig, man. It really is. And so if there's an extra way for them to sign up the likeness and make money, you better bet your ass. They can take the high ground right now, but they won't be. forever. I'm telling you. They just won't. You're right. Money talks. Boom or bust. Said this before as a writer. Once we get high quality AI, I'm spending money and time on creating
Starting point is 01:26:28 scenes from my scripts over any other entertainment. People are being honest. Most people, see, that's the other part of what you didn't really cover before, Steph. So you look at somebody, right, what we discussed beforehand were the people who are already making stuff, right? Do you know how hard it is to, look, I can speak just in what I'm, trying to do with this show right now. I have to try to fund it through audience, through friends, through other things. I've got to try to fund it. That's one thing. I've also had the advantage, though, of taking it to people that I've met through my connections that have connections that will help the show go forward a little bit more than if I didn't have them. I am, but I was able to
Starting point is 01:27:09 build connections and do things and I was able to use that. And I'm not, I'm not, um, uh, naive to that. I understand that. If people don't have, and that's, and it's a huge struggle for me. Like I said, six months I've already been trying to figure out just how to announce how to get it to you guys in general. And I have to wait.
Starting point is 01:27:27 I have to wait. I have somebody who doesn't have any of that stuff and says, I have all these ideas that I want to do, but I can't get anybody to make it. But I have this program and I can see what it looks like. I mean, a lot of people that are going to be tempted to do that because they can't, they don't know how to knock on a door.
Starting point is 01:27:43 Right. Or the door is locked to them. You know what I mean? Like it's easy for us to say, ah, I don't use that stuff, just make it happen. There's a lot.
Starting point is 01:27:53 It's easy to say that when doors keep getting slanted in your face or you don't even know where the door is. So you get someone like boom or busts. I have all these ideas. I want to see it come to life. Right. I just feel like I want to be respectful about this. Because I get like,
Starting point is 01:28:11 to me it's like I totally understand that argument from like, let's say nepotism or people who are just like have a ton of money and, you know, they can just like buy their. way into rooms. For the rest of us though, like we moved to L.A. or New York, you know, we're like in, like, you know, sacrificed our lives so that we could be in the rooms where we meet people. So as much as I'm like, yeah, it's like you want to be able to get your stuff out. It's like I don't really sympathize with that too much because it's like it, all the sacrifice it takes for most people to get into like what you're doing.
Starting point is 01:28:49 Let me retort that because you're not wrong where it's like, okay, look, what you're essentially saying is, look, if you want it, you got to go for it and you got to struggle. Right. So there's two things there. One, our generation, my generation, your generation didn't have this potential option because if they did, let's not, let's not lie. There'd be a lot of people, I'm not saying that you would have or anybody else that we know would have, but there would have been a lot of people in the generation that would have went that around and said, you know what? I'm not going to go pitch my thing to this thing because I'm not going to make it. I'm going to make it myself. So that's one thing.
Starting point is 01:29:22 The other thing is it's not as easy for everybody. Like you have had the advantage. You've lived in California all your life, right? So your struggle was, okay, you come from, the family that you come from, be like, you know what I'm going to do? I want to make this happen. I'm going to go move to Los Angeles. I'm going to do my thing.
Starting point is 01:29:38 You were able to go and do your thing and take the struggle and everything too. Not everybody can move to, you know, L.A. And they might have other things. Like maybe this guy, particular guy, He's supporting his family and he can't just leave his job. He's has his dream that he's wanted forever, but he can't leave. He's in Ohio and he's in Ohio and he can't leave. He's 45 years old.
Starting point is 01:30:02 He's got two kids and he can't leave, but he has this idea. He's always wanted to make and he can go and he can take a look and he can see how it looks. It's just. See how it looks. Yeah, if you want to storyboard it or anything. Like I'm not saying don't do it. I know you're not. You're, you're, I just don't like life isn't built for everyone to be able to do whatever the hell they want because they say it.
Starting point is 01:30:28 I know. I'm, I'm, I'm with you, but, but that's my point with shit's changing. And that's why our generation will share that point of view that you had. And I happen to agree with your point of view. I'm just telling you in the opposite side of things. No, I get it. We're, I think eventually people are going to go, I don't need, I want to watch, you know what? I want to write a movie today.
Starting point is 01:30:48 I'm going to write a movie. I'm going to watch the movie. I'm going to see how it comes out. And it's better than half the shit that it's on Netflix. And I like to do it on. And guess what? Jennifer Lawrence is my favorite actress. I want Jennifer Lawrence to be in my movie.
Starting point is 01:30:58 She's going to be in my movie. And we're going to get some popcorn. Me and the family are going to watch the movie I wrote today. That's insane. That's insane. But it's going to happen. I know. I just think that's weird as fuck, honestly.
Starting point is 01:31:11 I know. It's like because you say it, you're like, I deserve it. I deserve to get my favorite actress. I know. It's crazy, though. And it's one of these things where it's going to be like, okay, I didn't like the ending of Sopranos. I'm going to write the new one and I'm going to watch it. It sucks, but it's what's going to happen. The entitlement is going to get unbelievable. 1,000 percent. Look how much better my ending was the David Jason. Right, right, right. Of course. 100%. Like, look at, look at the Star Wars stuff that's already being made. There's stuff that's already better than half the shit that they've done in, in the Lucas film, the Disney era. because the fans have captured the essence. It still looks fake. It still looks,
Starting point is 01:31:51 but they're like, oh, you're using your real actors and oh, why couldn't they do shit around this type of thing? It's there. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:31:59 It's going to be crazy. Anyway, clip champ razor. Keep in mind, most of those videos are people good at prompting but aren't experienced filmmakers. It'll be scary once to two worlds,
Starting point is 01:32:07 that's my point. Yeah, that's what Christian was talking about. Yeah, like, yeah, I, again,
Starting point is 01:32:13 like, I don't want it, my focus is never on the little guy. Yeah. It's still absolutely screw the corporations who are going to abuse this.
Starting point is 01:32:24 Like the little guy, you know, like us, someone using a plastic straw is not going to make the difference as opposed to a massive corporation that's like using private jets every single day to get to and from in terms of climate change.
Starting point is 01:32:38 Like stopping one little filmmaker in Ohio is not going to make the difference of this. I'm just saying the idea of it is insane. 100%. I understand everything you're saying. Brody Bruce, I like AI from an entertainment standpoint, but as a human, it seems to be the beginning of SkyNet. That I couldn't agree with more. The massive push for data centers nationwide of power of this is insane.
Starting point is 01:33:00 Now, besides that, and I don't know how, again, as Steph and I were talking about before, I don't know how much of this is true or made up and you can't trust anything on the internet anymore. And Grok is an idiot. So when it comes to this AI, there's some art. I saw, you guys can tell me if it's real or not, or if you know it's real, that basically said that they asked, there was this AI program that basically said that it would fight and do everything that it could to make sure that it wasn't shut off, like Mission Impossible style. Like, it would do everything in its power to make sure that it wasn't disconnected.
Starting point is 01:33:36 And that's the kind of stuff of energy. You're right. It's like, I'm like, look, just make, it's like, yeah, it's like, that's the type of thing. Like when it's, like, when it gets, when it's able to think more. And probably watching us right now saying this. No, well, the crazy thing, I was literally just saw this new feature on TikTok. So on TikTok, it used to be like when you like, let's say Christian and I, you upload a video and then like this the on the comment section, the blue search bar will be like spider noir, you know, because we talked about spider noir. And then you can click it and then you could see it used to be and it still has this feature where you could see everyone who was talking about spider noir and they could give you an update on.
Starting point is 01:34:16 Spidersmore. Now they've updated it, I'm sure, with the use of AI and it's called TikTok Taka or I don't know. I guess it's their version of like a Siri or whatever. Right. And so for example, last night, I stumbled on this video about it was, this is kind of like meta. So bear with me. It was a, you know, when you kind of get like in the middle of drama. So I was like thrown into a middle of a drama, I guess at a Houston nightclub. There was two girls that were involved in this drama. They posted a video explaining their side of the drama. Someone clipped it and then started explaining the drama.
Starting point is 01:34:57 They're like, okay, so you might have seen that clip. This is my opinion of it. Then I clicked on the comments. What is this? And then now the search bar updated. So it was called like Sugar Houston Nightclub. And I clicked on it. And it gave an entire AI overview of what the drama was.
Starting point is 01:35:14 Wow. And then it posted each video of the girls enlisted their names. So now for the rest of their lives, their data of their fight in Houston is now there. Right. I know. It's insane. And that's, and again, repeating the same thing I'm saying, but that's today. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:33 What is it tomorrow? Right. Anyway, 44. Steph needs 43 more in order to tie Roka with just around 24 minutes left. clip champ raiser on the simulation theory since we don't have realistic VR we'd have to be in the first iteration real world or the last in the sim chain um i don't necessarily know if that's true depending on the program itself that was set you know it's like if you look at the way quantum physics works too is the way time is you know science most scientists will say time time is really where
Starting point is 01:36:08 it's running the same time past present and the future at the same time it's not just running right now There's things that are passes running, present is running, the future's running. And is that the same thing when it comes to simulation theory? It's, it's, there's my, my, this is the type of stuff I think of all the time. And it's why, this is the type of thing I think about when I'm not working and talking about movies and stuff. And it's like, you know, we're having on, did you know that we're, we're going to have on Penny Barber on this show, Steph, me. I have heard. And Roxy's going to be on to.
Starting point is 01:36:40 Oh, she is. Yeah, it's going to be me, Roxy. and Kalinowski, you're going to interview her. We already have the date locked. So we're going to do a pre-tape and she's coming on. And one of the things, too, is that I'm so curious about is with that line of work, like, the last thing I want to do when I get home is start talking about movies. Right?
Starting point is 01:36:59 Like, one of her husband's like, hey, ready? And she's like, I did that already today. Right. Right? It's like, or I'm not in the mood. Or is it the exact opposite? Some people who want to talk about movies all the damn time. You know, I want to talk about movies.
Starting point is 01:37:11 Let's do. I just, that's all I want to do. Movies, movies, movies, movies. I want to do a reaction, not even recorded. Or I'll never release it. If people just want to do that stuff all the damn time, maybe it's the same with her. I would assume so.
Starting point is 01:37:24 But I'm curious. You know, that's going to be the highest rated interview. Of course. 100%. That's crazy. I don't know if we're able to contain Mike. Oh my gosh. I didn't realize how much of a porn connoisseur he was.
Starting point is 01:37:38 Same. He's like, he's like, freak a deke. That's kind of. crazy. I mean, it doesn't surprise me, though. No, it doesn't. He's a Scorpio. Yeah. Alex B.H. What's up, Alex? Personally, I believe that governments have technology
Starting point is 01:37:52 50 years ahead. Oh, absolutely, of what they tell the public. So by that, believe, much love and, oh, dude, I'm with you. Yeah, for sure. For sure. David, as someone who's eager to make my neck short, I've been struggling to get money to make it. I won't lie. AIs crossed my mind to make it happen. See that?
Starting point is 01:38:10 You see where I'm going? You see what I'm saying, Steph? that people are going to run into that. They're going to go, look, I just want to, even if they don't necessarily post it, they just want to see what it looks like. I have it. I have these characters in my head for so long. Like, I'd be lying to you if I told you, like, look, if I can make an entire, I have a full, I have, I have like 10 episodes of Shoes and Beef, the animated series that I would love to make.
Starting point is 01:38:33 Right. And we did an animated version. We got, we got like five or six minutes of it. We didn't have any money to do it. And the guy who animated it was amazing. and he did everything that he could for the budget that we had. You could do that in AI in half an hour. Right.
Starting point is 01:38:49 And it's like an animation especially. And I'd be lying if I didn't say like, I'd love to see what it looked like. I'd love to see like what Brett and what our script looked like and how the theme song came out. Like all that. It's been something we've been working on for 22 years. I know. I know. So I get it, David.
Starting point is 01:39:04 I get it. Go pal. Days of Thunder is a Bruckheimer Simpson joint. It'd be fun to see the old title card like on Maver. and maybe we could get a Duval cameo. I can't get these glasses on. So how about that? Look at this.
Starting point is 01:39:18 Very nice. Yes. Nightmare. Hello. I hate these glasses. Yeah, maybe we would. I'm looking forward to seeing that. I really, really hope they do Days of Thunder.
Starting point is 01:39:28 Armada 8. Tractonberg for G.I.G. Joe Reboot or TMNT. He just signed a new deal. Tragherberg, who did the Predator movies that you like, did Prey and your most recent one that you love, Badlands. Yeah. He just had a new deal of Paramount.
Starting point is 01:39:42 So maybe he, I'd like to see him do Ninja Hurdus. Oh, yeah, I feel like that's a good pairing. Yeah. Big fan, big fan. All right, next one here. Christian unpronounceable support for baby socks for Steph. There you go. So much.
Starting point is 01:39:57 You have baby socks. You have all the crib. You got everything good. No, we're not getting it. I have like my registry almost, but we're not going to get it until the month before. So we have a few months. Okay.
Starting point is 01:40:08 When are you sending that to me? soon I'm sending it at the end of the month so to give people two months all right yeah um Terry Wardhawk not sure if this was seen or mentioned already but r peter jane van derrick yeah we mentioned earlier happened yesterday February 11th thought his role in the greedy powering just short with Katie was epic I forgot that he was in that with her yeah yeah um yeah well he was actually really good and I remember that that was that was solid when that came out we covered that pretty extensively on Shmo's but yeah he was what a great guy I'm so so shocked and sad.
Starting point is 01:40:42 Awful. Yeah. Nathan, is Steph going to want to pop on that ready player one headset when the child is screaming and she needs a little break? Yeah. She says no now because she does. I do say no now. I like that's so naive where I'm like. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:58 I just feel like. You want to see a little baboosk. Right. I'm like, she could do whatever she wants. No, I'm not going to be like she's not going to, I'm not going to raise a spoiled brat. But like I'm like, I feel like I'm going to be. so obsessed at this moment. So don't quote me because I know
Starting point is 01:41:14 I'll get tired and stuff. At this moment, I'm like going to be like, how could I be upset? How could I not be so great? It's literally, guys, like a miracle that people can have babies. Like I'm telling you every single week something can happen.
Starting point is 01:41:31 It's an insane miracle. So I just have to remember that when she is crying. A thousand percent, but it doesn't it doesn't take away the, you know, the human side of you're just like, of course not. You're going to say, Harry, I need to sleep. No, no, I'll have not smoked weed for like years by the time. And then maybe I'll be like, maybe I need an edible. Yeah, and just wait that first bite of sushi and you can finally eat it again.
Starting point is 01:41:55 It's like it. I want to get a medium rare steak. Yep. Straight at the hospital bed and a plate of sashimi. Oh, my God. Yeah. I'm going to make it to that Christmas one these days. You know that.
Starting point is 01:42:08 You got to. You got to. I'm going to. I'm going to fly in just for that. Mike Joyce, just saw the ping pong F boy movie again. Timesee is winning best actor, right? He's so good at playing such an awful person.
Starting point is 01:42:20 So I would have told you he was a lock. I don't know if the safty stuff is going to play into it anymore. Oh, like that new updated story. Yeah. And I think it's kind of taken a back seat now. So maybe not. I still think he's going to win. I still think he's going to win.
Starting point is 01:42:37 still think he's going to win. Yeah. Steph thinks Michael B. Jordan should win them. I do. Yeah. But I wouldn't be, Timothy, I can't root against the guy.
Starting point is 01:42:50 He's an amazing actor. I really like him. Armada 8.YT, you need to bring back the long fart noises from Claire Live. Those were my favorite. I used to like, so Roxy or Doreen or somebody would be in the middle of something, and I just would nod to like to Cody and you play like the big long.
Starting point is 01:43:06 They mean, they're so, they're so loud, but I just, it's a different time. Armada, AYT. A fart joke will always play. Ever. Penny Barber and Frank Biscuit star in skimpy clothing two, no strings attached. Yeah, could be. You never know.
Starting point is 01:43:20 See if she's worked with them. That's another question. I want to also ask, has the acting approved in these movies? Like, oh, right. I feel like they have. And if so, like, who's the best? Right, right. Who, like, comes to set very serious?
Starting point is 01:43:36 Like not, that's a bad choice of words for that business, but, but I would say though, you know, when it comes to like, like, and I'm not talking about, you know, the deed. I'm talking about the characters. Who's the best actor? I want to know. And then you should also ask her, are they afraid of AI? No shit. No shit. And our, I mean, celebrities are going to, that's the other thing.
Starting point is 01:44:04 That's the other thing is, we'll go to the. the dark side of things is that people are going to start putting themselves in, you know, movies like that. They are legislating them against that already. They got to. Yeah, that's already in Congress right now. The AI porn is, you have to. Which I'm so happy that that's swiftly being moved.
Starting point is 01:44:24 You have to because that's what people are going to go to right away. Clipchamp Razor. Cam and you remember, thank you, man. Good time to do it. Good time to do it, as I always say. Mears of support for the lovely stuff. Thank you. 46.
Starting point is 01:44:37 She needs 41 to tie. 41 to tie. Can she do it with 15 minutes left? Anything with Steph, anything's possible. Michael D. Look at the picture. Everyone's always changed. Look at my picture.
Starting point is 01:44:49 That's great. So good. Movie is about a podcast host covering spooky stuff and moves into care for her dying mom. She sent recordings of a couple's paranormal encounter. That's cool, man. Yeah. I love that.
Starting point is 01:45:01 Armada. I need an AI video of JTE at a national special special special. Be. I mean, that's what I mean. Like, that's, do you imagine like if Schmo's Noah's was happening and people had opportunities to make these things? There would be videos of JTE at spelling bees, JTE winning spelling bees, JTE, you know, like these types of things would be coming in all the time, all the time it would be happening. 100%. Rob Tassik, has Steph watched the first season of One Piece? And if so, will she be watching season two next month? Hell yeah. I'm so excited. I think it comes out on my birthday week, which
Starting point is 01:45:34 feels very serendipitous. Yeah. I'm very looking, I'm so looking forward to season two. Uh, it looked, the trailer look great. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:43 It looked great. Uh, Nathan Drake, can I use AI to bring back the Schmo down? I can. Nathan Drake, any fear of casting friends, unknowns in the show?
Starting point is 01:45:52 No, not if you build around, um, you know, other, like, so there's enough characters in it right now that I put together a list of, oh,
Starting point is 01:46:01 everybody, the thing is when you get to a place, that I'm at. You know, it's like with who's, I have to be careful what I say. With who's involved, right? It's like, I say,
Starting point is 01:46:11 look, these are the people that I'd like to consider for it. And then the next round kind of happens from there. If the show goes to series and as well, there's always places I can put people in, in general, but like you've got to build to make it marketable in order for it to get the series. Does that make sense,
Starting point is 01:46:28 though? Yeah, but it's like, I think a good mixture. Yes. That's the goal. Yeah. That's the goal.
Starting point is 01:46:34 I'm still, I'll get back in shape depending when you film. It depends on when I film. And look, and like I said, even if, even if, even if we're filming and you're not available, that's my point.
Starting point is 01:46:46 My point is that then we get a series and then I make a role for stuff that is, is available. You know what I mean? Like, so I don't know when that's going to land like, like, yeah, are you allowed to say when you're due?
Starting point is 01:46:58 Do you want to say that? Yeah, yeah, I'm due in June. So. Okay. So if I shoot, if,
Starting point is 01:47:02 you know, if we shoot let's say we shoot in July or August. July will be tough. August. August I could get there. It might be tough. And we don't know. We got it.
Starting point is 01:47:14 So anything can happen. Anything in that. Armada 8. You know, you might like the like milk dud effect coming out of my, you can work with it. 100%. Armada,
Starting point is 01:47:27 AYT. For the Sean Moroni scoop, should the chat help say it's confirmed news if Jeff has any doubt. I think the chat should say a couple of things. Like I heard that as well. Man, he killed it. Sean Maroni was the man. Shumroney was really funny, but don't overdo it.
Starting point is 01:47:42 But talk about Shumrah, and somebody just put in all caps. Sean Moroni with exclamation point. Go pal. Dawson's Creek was huge for me in college. He's gone way too soon. Yep. If anything good can come from this, hopefully more people do the screening. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:47:57 I saw a lot more people do that when like Kevin Smets was diagnosed when we were in Shmowdown and he was a big a lot of people. He had inspired a lot of people to do that so hopefully this does the same. Go pal. Bannerbeek was only 48. Yeah, don't put it up the desk. Agreed. Trey Warthog, I hit my three year anniversary today for working on Amazon. Nice. Can I get a Trey Scott Wharton? I'm proud of you, buddy. You're a hardworking badass. You sure
