It does look like you. That is me. No, I see it. I see it. Hey, what's of you guys? Welcome back. Okay. We have a show.

I don't know where to start. Lawyer. Are you my lawyer? I was last time. I don't know if you fired me or not. I think I fired you. Yeah. I wasn't a very good lawyer.

Do you want to be my lawyer? Ooh, me, me. Okay. You could be the lawyer for this episode. We have some lawsuits incoming. Oh, my God. But before we get to that, can we just address the blinged elephant in the room? It's a very aggressive shirt choice, for sure.

Let me explain myself. There's been whispers around the office. They've been loud. Yeah, I heard them. Okay, so I was trying to find a few new shirts to, like, you know, spice up my vibe on the podcast. And, you know, I already have my Marvel, moo-moo, as I call it. oversized and flowy. So I went to the same company.

I looked online and I saw this stone cold Steve Austin shirt. He's a wrestler. I was like, oh, that's fun and nostalgic. Hopefully he likes gay shit because now he's selling blinged shirt. So I literally, the ads did not say blinked. I'm pretty sure it did not look blinked. I was so excited. I ripped open the shirt today and I was like, oh.

So yes. I just had to talk about it. Okay. Anyways. I'm turning. turning into a woman. It's happening. Anyways, so yes, we are going to jump into these theories, which by the way, our first theory

involves women. So that's fun. I dressed for the occasion. But before we get to that, last thing, so in the last episode, we played a game, and I think you guys enjoyed it. We really enjoyed it. So we do have a game prepared for later on in the show. Don't worry.

We're going to do all the theories. And then we'll get to that. And I have no idea what it is. Spencer has prepared it. We have a game prepared. Let me just say it. He is so proud of this. game he was telling me about yesterday. I'm very excited about this game. He has been revving the engines.

There's going to be some food elements. It's going to be a little bit. To when we used to eat gross stuff on the pod. I know. Jared and I are more into his That's why you told me the way you did. You're going to be something about the game today. Because you had me in mind. Thank you. Well, I'm excited about that. Here we go. Women strap in. Man, you can strap in too. This first theory made me so angry as a man. who loves women. As an ally. You know what's disappointing is that you're only just finding this out now as a man at 38 years old.

No, no, no. I knew this was a thing. Okay, we're going to be talking about the pink tax conspiracy. I've known about this forever, but I never actually saw evidence like this. Like I've heard theories about how, you know, corporations are fucking over women, right? Like they literally don't give women pockets in their pants because they want women to buy purses. Or, you know, like I've seen theories like that. This was so crazy to me.

So let me start by showing you this reel that really breaks it down. And then I'm gonna give you some insane examples of the pink tax. You guys, I came here for a lufa, but these are only for men. Oh, there's the women's. They're pink, but they're a dollar more.

Yeah, I'm gonna need somebody from Walmart's corporate to tell me why men's lufas are $2 and women's lufas are $3. This one from the women's section, $699, $4.99. $2.00 less. Virtually the exact same racket for $16. We have a pink one, which is the one I would want to buy, and it is $25. Whoa. Then it's only $3 for four Mickey bottles. Pink taxes, y'all. $8.19 or $5, come with 10, double of that. Look at this. Perfect.

No way. Doing this in the women's section for 899 and then in the men's for 799. Wow, that's crazy. So that led me down to rabbit hole, right? I know. I was like, there's no way. So then I really fell down. So here you guys go.

Here is a few more examples of the pink tax and how crazy this is. And we're going to talk about it. Let me move on my tricks. So first we have shaving gel. Men's 187. Same thing. Women's 239. Same brand.

It's the target brand. It's the up brand. It's crazy. Same fucking brand. Okay. Next. Razors. We already saw that.

But men's five, women's six. Okay. Crazy. This is crazy. Stool softener. No way. They made like a pink girly one for breast cancer awareness.

That one is a dollar more. What? For stool softens. That's crazy. Men's laxatives only 149. Women's laxatives 369. That's an a greasidivs. That's a greasy.

There's not like 10 cents or something. This one, hotel personal care kit. And if you look at all the ingredients or whatever is included, they're all the fucking same products for the men's $7 for the woman's $10. This is crazy. And it's not even different colors. I mean, the case is a different color, but the stuff inside is the exact same thing. This toy, same toy, just a different color.

Pink one is $7, blue one, it's $6. It's really crazy. This one really pissed me off. Smart girls out there. Listen up! This is gonna make you angry. Calculators. Okay, back to school seasons come in. You got your son and your daughter. You head on over to Target. You look at the calculators. Uh-oh. The boy calculator. $19. $19. A girl calculator? $25. It's the same fucking calculator. Why? Why is this happening? That is crazy. Okay. So here is the theory. I mean, is it even a theory at this point? I don't know. To me, it just literally looks like fact, but lawyer? It's a theory. Okay. I mean, we just saw a lot of evidence.

There's so much evidence. I think it's, if we're just boiling it down to like the brass tax, it's obvious it's happening, but why? I think, do they just think women spend more money? Yes. Or does it cost more to advertise to women? And that's like a built-in cost. That's interesting.

They spend like $5 million a year to sell women's raisers, and maybe it only cost $2 million a year to sell men's raisers marketing-wise, you know? I mean, the idea of the pink tax, the theory of it is what you said, is corporations don't think that women are going to question a price, which to me, I almost feel like they should do. It's insulting. It's insulting. But also, they should do the fucking opposite. I feel like it's the guys out there who are just grabbing a fucking shave cream that wouldn't even question, right? They'd just be like, oh, I don't know. And historically, don't men get better wages? So it's kind of fucked up. It's fucked up to then turn around. I'm just saying on all, in all avenues, this is just crazy.

Women are like when it comes to advertising dollars, like just from my experience in the past on YouTube, I was reached out to by a lot of companies specifically because early on in my YouTube career, my audience was like 18 to 24 year old women. Yeah. And that's like the demo. The advertisers want. That is who they want to sell to. That is who they want to target stuff. But everybody has to buy product. Girl YouTubers also get more deals.

And I think that's because the brands know that. the girls are selling to other girls. Right. Yeah, one of, well, a couple of my clients have said a version of that where they're like, oh, I'm so happy that like my audience is mainly women because women will buy stuff. My male audience members, like, men don't buy anything. Like, they'll support you maybe by like liking your video, but they're not buying your merch or whatever. Whereas women like are supportive in that way.

Wow. That's why companies need to start targeting gay men. And it's prime. Well, there guys go. Let us know in the comments. Have you noticed any pink taxes as you've been shopping? And give us your craziest ones. I'm very curious about this.

I almost wanted to do like a conspiracy van or some sort of bigger video about this and go out to the world and find these because I feel like it's not just products. I feel like it's I've heard different fast food, you know, the girly version or like different things, you know, haircuts, like pretty much anything that you spend money on. They will upcharge you if you're a woman. I'm kind of curious about it. Well, we had one that people have sent in that we talked about on the podcast. That was if you have a woman's name. Remember at Chipotle? Yes.

I give you less food. give you less food, which is crazy. And people send it in all the time to like look what my boyfriend got versus what I got. It's crazy. Wow. Um, okay. Well, speaking of fucking people over, this is something we have actually talked about in the past, but we didn't have confirmation that it worked.

So there is a theory. I'm going to call it the library theory. Shh. Exactly. You don't want you to talk about it. So the theory is that if you are buying airline tickets or hotel, you know, reservations, if you buy them at home. They are more expensive than if you were to go to the public library and buy them there.

What? And the reasoning is because allegedly the theory is the corporations and airlines and stuff. If they see that your IP address is coming from a public library, they assume you can't afford the internet at home. So they will charge you less for the products. This was just a theory and we like, we're going to try it. I don't know why we ended up not doing it. Yeah. And it was also there's another theory where if you have a cheaper phone,

to supposedly they can also tell that you if you don't have an iPhone if you have a cheaper Android phone or something they also can like supposedly charge you less and stuff like that yeah cheap trick yeah you're like a Nokia for all your online needs yeah okay so here is somebody proving it oh my god what it's drastically less that their look at the end um first of all they ate that yeah we couldn't do it They just fucking did it. That is crazy. Why is, how is this okay? I think this is a really good PR move by public libraries. Now we're all going to go to a public library.

And maybe that's where they have all the highest level technology for facial recognition. So we've got to get all the people in because at the public library we could do all these experiments and then we're going to get them online. I'm just saying. Well, speaking of corporations fucking over so many people, but also helping people. This, maybe it's just me. Okay, you guys let me know in the comments. You guys let me know in the room. I think Chipotle's fucking with me.

I think they're coming for me. I think they're mad about my corporate slot bowl conspiracy in the last episode. I think they're mad that we pointed out how heavy their burritos are if you order inside. I saw this ad pop up. Rylan doesn't see it. I don't think. But I, it is so clearly me. Okay?

I think they used AI. It's AI you. And I think it's me. And it's an ad of this guy chowin down on a burrito. Okay, but let me zoom in. Wow, it does look like you. That is fucking meat. That is fucking me.

And what is the science? Not even a legend, not even a theory. I think that's me. No, I see it. I see it. Where are we looking at that from? Is this like a Twitter post, Instagram? What is this?

What's the content? It's literally the tag is a happy place and it's just, and it's suggested for me. And it says, don't break the window. The AC is on. He's housing a burrito and listening to a podcast. The hell is me? Whoa.

That is me. I'm angry. The CEO's just like, are we playing line games? I think we're checking. I'm deep throading a burrito in his car. I'm not going to collie with Chipotle at the moment. We should recreate this.

At least it's in like sour cream all over your face. I feel like I have sour cream all over my face after being fucked over by Chipole. It's on. We got to think of retaliation now. Okay. You know what? I'm gonna say this is genius. I think it's sketchy and crazy, but it's genius.

Have you guys noticed? This is a theory about Apple's AirPods. Let me just show you this. Apple thinks they're so slick with the free engravings. Would you like a free engraving with that? No, I don't, because I know what you're doing. They would never offer free personalization out of the goodness of their hearts.

They're doing it to make the product unmistakably yours. By engraving your name on a pair of AirPods or an Apple pencil or an iPad, all of a sudden, You can't resell it anymore. They offer the free engravings to hurt the used market. They don't want you to resell your products because they're not making any money off of that. I mean, just a genius.

I'll give it to him. I'll give it to them. Can I debunk it for a second? I don't care how cheap. I don't care if you're gifting me your headphones. I'm not taking them. That's disgusting. Have you seen anybody else's headphones

that have been stuck in their ears? The guck and debris in those things are so gross. I could not eat my lunch. over it. You could clean them. No, it's not just AirPods. It's like, what about your iPad? That's fine. Yeah. He's on to something

with the iPad or the pencil. AirPods are out of the mix. What about over-ear? Yuck. Not ones that are going in the ear. Over-ear is giving rainworm. The way I use them. He's walking real fast. Do they make you engrave something on it? Is that the whole deal?

It is free. They give you an option. So like when you buy anything, and I always do it because I'm like, that's fun. Like I'll get like a little bear emoji. You know, so you can get like a free engraving on pretty much all of their products. And now I understand why. Allegedly just a theory.

My air tag literally has my initials in it. Like everything I got from Apple has an engraving on it. That's cute. I also will say the other, the flip side of this is if you don't care about having someone else's engraving on it, I bet you it's way cheaper if you're trying to buy a, buy a second in an iPad or something.

Okay. And you could make up whatever those initials represent for you. Like if I stole Chris's air tag and it said C.B, I would just tell everyone it stood for cool boy. Cool boy. I'm like, okay. Like I put cool boy. No, it was a gift. Somebody thought I was a cool boy. It's undeniable. Creamy butt. I don't think anybody wants a creamy butt. Um, okay, well, speaking of AirPods, we talked about this, but it has now really like gone viral. People are really talking about it. Not to say we were ahead of the trend,

but I will say. But we always are. You know what? We kind of are. Nobody takes us seriously. When Project Blue Beam happens and the fake aliens blow up the world and everybody's like, how'd that happen? Jared's going to be like, hi.

He's going to be like, Doug. He's like, fuck, I was right. So AirPods. Well, just take a look.

Yeah. This is coming up in the new AirPods line. The internet is freaking out again because Apple's unreleased AirPods pros are going to have cameras built into the side of them. And this is making millions of people understandably feel like Apple's just gone too far. And this is just straight up an invasion of privacy. So right here, I have an up close rendering of what next year's unreleased AirPods could look like. And even though they look very similar to last year's model,

a few of you may have noticed there's actually two big differences. Number one, each of them is going to have its own camera built into the side so that your AirPods can now understand your surroundings. Number two, there's going to be a privacy LED on the bottom. And this, in theory, should light up when visual data is being. sent to the cloud. This way the person wearing them and people around them will know when this camera is engaged and operational.

This camera is not actually meant to take pictures or videos. Instead, it's actually to gather visual data from the user's surroundings, the room, the environment they're in, et cetera. And it's going to send that data to your phone so that Siri can be more of a visual AI rather than just a verbal one. But since this is such a hot topic,

I'm super curious to hear what you guys think. Are you willing to get- Leave us alone. Like, listen. I love Apple, love my AirPods, love my computer. Like, I love their products. But leave us alone. We can stop now.

We can stop now. Like, we don't have to do it anymore. I actually agree that we can stop. We can stop. We can stop. Like, so this is only useful for somebody that's hiking or something. It's like, I don't want you recording my surroundings in my bedroom. Here's, I'm going to go back to this.

We talked about this in the last episode, and I've never had my brain more fucking exploded when Jared brought up the fact that all these companies that are putting all these surveillance cameras everywhere, there's millions of fucking cameras everywhere tracking literally fucking everything, but we can't find missing kids. We can't find missing people. We can't find anything. And it's like, okay, so the technology works and it's out there and it's not fucking actually working for the thing you guys are saying you're using it for. So how am I supposed to believe that things like this that are supposed to help us with whatever are actually going to do that? I have no trust anymore.

Yeah. And it's just, yeah, yeah. It's just like, what lie can we say so we can just? just like harvest every second of everyone's day and like know exactly where they are. Like who cares if your headphones know where you are? Like what is that? How's it helping you listen to music? Like I mean and I think and listen I filmed this video it was really random how it happened.

I was literally just like kind of logging for fun and seeing if anything happened with it. And I did stumble upon something crazy. I don't know if this video is out yet, but it's about your phone listening to you. And the shit that happened was so fucking crazy. And it really sent me down this rabbit hole of like, for example, I was talking to Rylan about how I need to get healthy. I need to get back on my, you know, health journey and not eat bad foods or whatever. Literally five seconds later, my algorithm is all mookbongs and it's all people eating and it's all things that to me felt like my phone doesn't want me to get healthy.

My phone is pushing these things on me. Why is this happening right now? This wasn't happening yesterday and it's happening right now. I don't know. I don't trust technology. I don't trust that they have the best intentions. No. But thank you for letting us engrave things for free.

Yeah. And I don't know. I hate the idea of like, why on your headphones? That's so, I'm immediately going to sharpie over those, like, cameras or something. Well, supposedly they're also thermal cameras, too. So they're going to be able to tell like where humans are, where animals are, where the other stuff is too. It's like. But then what are they going to do?

A mountain lion's going to attack me. But what are they going to do? Say warning? Like, what are they going to jump out and stoss the mountain lion? It's like, okay, thanks. I'm going to see it in two seconds. Shit's getting fucking crazy. And I feel like nobody is.

Well, not only do they not care, they're moving further in the wrong direction. Oh, my gosh. We're an ad mention and I don't know who this is. Welcome to the ad mention. And where'd Ryland go? And yet, where did my husband go? You know what that is, though? What? That's an open seat. And you know, I'm thinking we should fill it with a geek. And thank God our sponsor today is. Seekeek.

And yeah, happy Father's Day to all the

daddies out there. All right. Enjoy those of the show. Which brings me to aliens. Okay. I'm going to slowly almost like we're going to be nice. I'm like we're at a restaurant and we're doing little courses. So I'm going to start with a little appetizer and then we're going to get to the main course. My first appetizer, did you guys see a clip of a guy on the news and some crazy shit was going on with his face? The neck? Mm-hmm. I saw it. So it noticed anything different between these. It's supposed to be the same guy, right? Oh, looks a little different. Is happening. Shout out to him. He's like a good looking guy. I'm not coming for him. I'm just saying what the fuck is going on. But let's look at the neck. Yeah. Well, I agree with the general completely.

with one caveat. Patience may be a little short of the real objective here. The president has time. Is that real? So this is real. So this is a general. This is what he looked like a few weeks before. And then he supposedly came back.

I don't really know. And then the eyes are so different. The neck is different. If you didn't see that little wrinkle in his neck, I don't think you would put together that this guy's wearing a mask. No. Just throwing out there. It's really interesting.

Yeah. It looked like the original planet of the apes when you saw him. mouth talking underneath the monkey mouth like door two and it looked off that's kind of what it felt like you know it's also you know it's also crazy maybe eight years ago i did a video about people who wear masks like silicone masks it's like it's a thing that people sometimes do comes on my instagram feed and it wasn't a sexual video it wasn't like you know kinky or any of that or fetishy it was literally just about people wearing masks and youtube remained it what interesting can for one episode spencer and i wear masks of each other and see if anyone noticed

swap. Ooh, I like that. But the old Mashing, I mean, if you look up like CIA masks, it's pretty wild how realistic. Those are crazy. I've also seen how they like avoid tails where they have like prosthetics, like mask stuff ready to go. So you like someone's falling you, you go around the corner and they have these crazy masks. You can just put on really quick and then you look completely different. It's really weird.

We should do a podcast where we're all in masks. That would be crazy. We're just drenched and sweat. I like the next episode starts, so you guys pray didn't catch it. But we were all in masks. last week. We were all sitting in different spots. Well, this is another little update. This is my next little course.

Here's the salad. Lizard people living underground. Yes. My mom's actually seen a lizard person on the train. Oh, what? Yes. Oh, my God, I'm disturbed. I believe in this.

What do you mean? What real lizards? It's true. She was on a train to London one day on the underground. She said she kept looking at this person and she knew something was just not right about and she said in her head, if you're a lizard, blink three times. That's what she said to me. She's sitting there thinking this person looks strange.

She said to herself, no one can hear it. If you are a lizard blink three times, the man looks at her, blinks three times and then gets off the train. But why would she think he's a lizard? Well, I don't. She just knew the energy was different. Yeah. They live in underground tunnels. No, come on.

Under the Crown. I believe in it. I've read a lot on it. Okay, first of all, that is so scary. Second of all, I love her. That's, I think her name is Gemma. I remember her from Celebrity Big Brother in the UK. She's iconic. That scared me. And then the next thing on my fucking algorithm, speaking of my phone listening to me, was this. Yeah. So, okay, crazy, right? Because Gemma just said that they live on lizard people live underground. And then now I'm seeing this. So I was like, there's no way this is real. I looked into it. It's in New York City. It's a famous bronze sculpture of an alligator pulling a man, often interpreted as an adult with a money bag for a head down a manhole.

It's titled Life Underground, and it was created by an American sculptor named Tom Otterness, and it's located on 14th Street and 8th Avenue. So the legend is that it pays homage to New York City's favorite urban legend that started back in the 1930s, which is that New Yorkers flushed their baby alligators down the toilet, resulting in a population of giant gators thriving in the sewer systems. Huh? That's crazy. And yeah, so allegedly that's what it is in NYC.

If you see it, snap a pick and send it to us, I guess. But that's what leads me to our main course. I started thinking people wearing masks on the news. Lizard people, allegedly reptilians living underground. I wonder what all of this means. And then I saw this news come out, which is crazy because I feel. like no one's talking about it. Can you play that news clip?

We are not alone. The Pentagon released the UFO files a few weeks back, and we just found out over a billion people have visited the site. A billion. UFO experts and top researchers have been investigating aliens for years. Their sources say dozens of crashed UFOs have been recovered,

and what they found inside, shocking. And do people think that there's one type of non-human intelligence? that's visiting the Earth. There is there many, many types. People who have been involved in recoveries have said... There are at least four types, four separate types. What? No, I have not had direct access to that, but I believe the people who I talk to. Four different species of aliens.

Another scientist called them grays, Nordics, insectoids, and reptilians. All of them have two arms and two legs, just like us. Experts speculate the reptilians are scaly with long long. tails like a lizard. Insectoids look like a praying manus. What is that? The grays look like your classic movie alien and the Nordics look like a regular Swedish guy, but seven feet tall. We haven't seen the evidence, but Pete Hggseth says more evidence is coming and there are a lot of believers in Congress. I have seen evidence in a skiff that leads me to believe there are things we cannot explain and I have observed things that are of non-human origin and creation. That's my opinion.

opinion. Yes. So as Chris was stating, it looks fucking insane. So those are UFO videos that the government released publicly. So that is literally what that is. And yes, there are allegedly four different species of aliens that the government knows about, allegedly just a theory. The reptilians, which is literally what we've been talking about. The Nordics, which are the seven foot tall, like blonde, blue-eyed, you know, you just think they're supermodels, but they're fucking aliens, allegedly, just a theory. The praying mantises, I forgot the name of them. But they look. insectoids. Insectoids? Just prey mantises in general are crazy. Fucky is so scary. I've always thought they're aliens. And then the grays, which is like the iconic, you know, what we've all seen in our, you know. I'm sure they're very proud of that title.

Like, we're grays. Don't fuck with us. They have a little superiority. Yeah. Fucking reptiles. So what the actual fuck? Has everyone seen this already? I have seen a couple of news clips to talk about it.

But have you heard about the 23 and me situation? Yes, I wrote that down. So there was a CIA. whistleblower. I think it was Lynn Buchanan, but he said that he was approached by three Nordic guys, which are basically, they look like very tall, blonde, blue-eyed, you know, people. And they were worried about the CIA tracking them down. And they said that the way that they were doing it is 23 and me was using all the results to try to find bloodlines that had this Nordic quality. And they were actually hunting aliens through 23 Me. That was like one of the whole things.

Oh, I, yeah, yeah. But they were very concerned, and they said that, you know, it was all 23 and me doing it. Oh, my God. Yes. So when you look into, like, the major companies, all these people, it's kind of the commingling. It's pretty wild. Well, also, I even think it's crazy that right now, I've been watching all the Steven Spielberg interviews. You know, I love Steven Spielberg.

That's what I want. Okay, let me lead you into this. So, yes, if you guys know, Steven Spielberg's putting on a movie Disclosure Day about the day about the day that the government finally says what is going on with aliens. And in the interview I saw, he was literally like, I believe in aliens. I know it's coming. Barack Obama visited the set. Like, he was very much talking about, you know. Obama visited the set.

And who we just saw a video of him saying, yeah, aliens are real. Right. Are aliens real? They're real, but I haven't seen him. I mean, yeah, I have direct quote. He released a final trailer. And I'm just excited for the movie. I'm Spielberg.

So I was like, oh, I have a new trailer. Can't wait to see it. And I'm watching the trailer. And in the final trailer, direct quotes, he says, how will disclosure change us? I believe for the better. How will disclosure change us? I believe for the better. And he's like the name of the movie's Disclosure Day, so he didn't even like, it didn't even feel like he was talking about the movie. It felt like he was talking about a day, like a thing that was coming. And then he says there's

something bigger out there than just ourselves. And then he says, I used to say to myself, wouldn't it be wonderful if all of this turned out to be true? Now I'm thinking, wouldn't it be wonderful for people to know all of this is true? Wouldn't it be wonderful if all of this turned out to be true? I'm now thinking, wouldn't it be wonderful for people to know all of this is true? And he just says that in the trailer. So he just admits openly in this trailer that this is all real and he like makes it seem like he clearly has inside information on it.

And again, the like trailer didn't feel like he was advertising his movie even. It felt like he was like, I'm getting you all prepared for a thing that's to come. And it reminded me of something you've talked about many times, Jared, on the podcast. About is it predictive programming? Like how Hollywood has movies coming out that's getting us ready for things to come. This feels like the most extreme in-your-face blatant example of this I've ever seen ever. So for the first time, even like, I feel like people have finally caught on too. Because the majority of the comments are things like, the timing of this is definitely not a coincidence.

How will disclosure day change us? You know something we don't, Stephen? Why do I get the feeling this is a soft opening for the real disclosure day? They are preparing us. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but this definitely feels like some kind of a soft launch. And it just felt weird. Like the whole trailer felt weird. The comments all picked up on it.

It's like it's really strange and creepy. You know what's crazy? I actually genuinely think that when they tell us aliens are real, I don't think people are really going to even care. Well, that's what I'm going to be like, you know, That's what I'm saying. So, like, they're pushing it so hard that they're about to tell us that aliens are real. But I think most of us are going to be like, well, yeah, we knew that.

Because we'd be crazy to think that wasn't life outside of us somewhere. But it's interesting because I feel like 30 years ago, if you would have, like, released all these files and said all of this information, I think it would have been different. I think it would have been a much bigger reaction. Right. I think, like, they've been slowly feeding us things and, like, in movies and then the news and whatever. And so I think now we're all desensitized. it, but I do think 30 years ago would have been a much bigger reaction.

Oh, yeah. Although I did see this really funny meme. Hold on. So the article that was, you know, talking about aliens on threads or something, it was like four species of aliens or whatever. And this was a comment right under it. That's great. I mean, that's a reusable meme right there.

I do. Yeah. I think that is a big part of it. Yeah. I think something that would be a little more of a shift than being like some saying it is like, you know the Bob Lazar I don't know if I believe him or not but he's like the guy who's allegedly worked at Area 51 and says they have

alien technology there and so I feel like something like a public display of if they have alien technology or something like that would I think be a little more of a drastic like holy shit like rather than just like the government says they're real it's like okay oh we need an alien oh do you know how to yeah earlier when I was so shook it's because like I know they've been slowly releasing, like, previously, like, disclosed files or whatever.

But the fact that, like, on the news, they just showed a clip of a flying star that looked like something you'd see in, like, a sci-fi short film that someone made on After Effects or something. Like, that looked, there's no way my brain's like, that can't be real. What if that's why the powers that be are so fucking obsessed with getting AI to the craziest level? Because that's the only way we could compete with the aliens. Oh. I can definitely see some AI CEOs thinking that. That's literally, I genuinely, and they tried building portals, Sam Altman, to talk to aliens. So that was in the news.

So that actually is making sense to me. These corporations, these tech companies, they know it's coming. And they know an AI technically, once it switches over to full intelligence, like to where it now can speak, you can do what a GAI. It is now going to be called alien because we don't understand how it works. that's what alien means. So they want to create something, allegedly just a theory, that is alien, so that we can even have a chance. Because once the aliens are like, because listen, do I think they're going to help us? That would be amazing.

But it also could just be like ants. Yeah. So like why would this? It could also be even something as like when Europeans went to like the America. It's like thousands and hundreds of thousands of thousands of people died of like smallpox. You know what I mean? It's like that wasn't intentional, but that was a disease. that people in the Americas didn't have their immune system built up to prevent.

You know, and it could be something as simple as that, or if there's a disease from space, something like that. I think it could also be like somewhere in the middle. I don't know, maybe they want to control us, control us in a way or use us away but not kill us. I don't know. I just think of like one of the big theories for like Machu Picchu and how that was built is that like aliens came down and helped us make it

because there's not a lot of like, we still don't know exactly how it was made. Because one, there's rocks that are like cut. in a way that like there was no way to cut a rock that way back then it looks like cut almost like by laser rocks are so perfectly fitted into each other that they look as though they were cut and we don't have a clear explanation for that and also there are like many drawings that look like people looking at a floating person in the sky with like a thing around their head it looks almost like an astronaut or whatever and that could be symbolic but it could be literally like they were talking to

an alien or something floating there's just things that imply that yeah no I mean like did aliens help build the pyramids. Have aliens been around the whole time? Am I? I think they're amongst us. Well, that's all crazy. Let us know in the comments. Do you believe in aliens? I'm actually curious because I feel like it's going to be 99% yes. Our audience, yeah. 10 years ago, it would have been like 50-50. Yes, I do think there's a huge shift in how people think about this. Yeah. Isn't that crazy?

To think that now all of a sudden everybody believes in aliens does fit into Jared's theory. It's almost like you can't not prove it. Well, speaking of people being desensitized, maybe, I don't quite know what this is. All I'm going to say is I saw this and holy fuck, this is where lawsuits come in, lawyer? Yeah. I'm just saying, if you want this item, good for you, but I think it's crazy. And we talked about a similar item a year and a half ago and people were like, that's not real. That's a joke.

That's a black mirror episode. Take a look at this new product. It's a necklace. You love jewelry. Put this on. and it basically backs up your memories. This little device is called the Looky L1. You don't have to shoot or edit anything.

It automatically records your life at set intervals. At the end of each day, it generates a vlog, along with a written summary of your day. Because it captures your life as a continuous timeline, the places you've been, things you've seen, and food you've tried are all organized in chronological order. You can even ask Lucky about your day. When was the day I went to the record store?

You visited the record store on the 17th of April. Every week, it created. a comic version of your life. The expressions and scene details are surprisingly accurate. It can also analyze your habits over time, helping you notice how you're changing. So in the end, Looky isn't just capturing clips that sit in your gallery. It understands your experiences and lets you look back at your life from a whole new perspective. As long as they can't publish those vlogs on YouTube, then I'm fine. I don't want competition. Lawyer, no, no. I'm the lawyer today. You don't think somebody could hack that and just

see your entire life? As long as they're going to pay a premium. Listen, they're not. That's the point. Listen, I went to the comments because I was expecting everybody to be like, this is crazy. And there was a couple. But I saw,

and maybe these are bots. I hope these are bots. Excellent. Awesome. I so need this for my journey as a POV content creator. No. Love it. How can I order?

This is genius. Great. I like this. These do sound like bots. I think the ultimate. intimate play, what is it called looksy? Looky. Looky, if Looky also has an integrated program that they themselves own where you can pay

to have viewage through another person's looky. Like, hey, if you want to pay $10 a month for access to my looky all the time, you know, but looky is the company that actually does the processing for it. I'm just, looky. That's probably going to do. You could be a Lucky Lou. A looky, or Lucky Luis. That is, yeah.

I'm a looky louis. more expensive. Yeah. 899 a month. Okay, so that's fucking insane to me. And then I started thinking, okay, so people are now getting more and more desensitized to this idea of literally like having like that's, I can't even. It's that is so fucking crazy to me that this is even happening.

And listen, looky, looky don't come from me. But you should definitely do a website. I'm not looking for a lawsuit. But I will say it is interesting because yes, maybe looky, hopefully isn't going to sell your video footage of your whole day to companies. I don't think they're going to do that. But, and it's just a theory. But they are transcribing your whole day in text.

That is interesting. You know, to have that information. Yeah. To be able to allegedly just the theory, not saying they're doing this. But if they were evil or whatever, like they could allegedly just a theory, send your entire day in transcribe to companies like, I think is scary. Whoa. Where am I? Am I wearing a mask?

What's happening? Are you aliens? Are you reptiles? Bapro, babo. Oh, guys, what does everybody have to deal with, even aliens?

So thank you so much for having to Cicino and Cushingo. I'm going to be saying it all day. It's kind of like a cowabunga sort of situation. Exactly, dude. All right. Enjoy and this is the show. Cajingo. AI is going to take over all of our jobs. Everything we're doing. It already is advertising me as a Chipotle spokesperson.

They're going to do everything. But you know what they can't do? They can't replace this show. They can't replace us. Oh, wait. Podcasters. Never. Right. Well, Spotify is introducing AI-generated personal podcasts. The new feature lets users create custom audio episodes based on their interests and listening habits. So users can type in prompts like asking for local updates, concert recommendations, or quick explainers on topics that they want to learn about. Spotify then generates a personalized audio briefing and links users to related content.

Episodes can be scheduled to repeat daily or weekly and coverage. I hate this. I hate this. The feature rolls out to eligible premium users in the U.S. next month. So are these real podcasts or this is a podcast that's created based on what the information that AI pulled up for you? I gotta read more. It sounds like it's positive to do it in an AI voice based on the fonts.

Yeah, I don't like that because now, I mean, who knows what this information is coming from? My biggest thing is I respect creators and people who are doing this. Period. We stand with him. The only thing that gives me help, and maybe this is just my algorithm and just what I want to see, but a lot of what I'm seeing on my algorithm on like threads and whatever is everyone hates this. Like hates the idea of like AI movies and it's like I would never watch an AI movie. I would never watch an AI podcast.

But they will because society's going to make it. You know what? I thought the same thing because I agree. And then I saw this real. I don't know if you saw it. I don't have it pulled up here. But did you see the one where it's like. It's like 15 second short film.

And it was like this couple fighting on the beach. And the song was the Harry Styles. You know, Sound down the time of the song. Oh, yeah. Oh, yes, yes. And then like they're fighting. But then a big wave comes.

And then they realize life does, you know, so short. And then they kiss and then they die. It had like 10 million likes and like 100 million views. And all the comments were like, wait, this made me cry. Wait, why did AI make a better 15 seconds short than all the movies in theaters right now? And people were really on board. And it freaked me out because I was like, oh, it just takes the right one. Yeah.

Does anyone here want to listen to a podcast or watch a movie? Let's all AI? No. In the moment, I don't think so. But I think what they're going to do is they're going to release the biggest movie of all time and not tell anybody that it's all AI for like a year. And be like, wow, news came out that was actually AI. And then people are like, well, I actually like that.

They have to get us to like it before we could accept it. They're already doing that with music. With music on Spotify, they're doing it where it'll be like, that song was huge. Like, oh, that was an AI song. It was kind of a bop anyways. Like, none of them. Yeah. But you know what's not AI?

You know what will never be AI? You know what the most real thing in the world is? What? Guy Fieri. You can't replace that motherfucker with AI. He is himself. He is real or is he? Welcome to the Guy Fieri theory.

No. Oh no. So there is a theory. How do I want to say it? Just a theory. That guy Fieri doesn't. The mayor of Flavortown. Big Fierry heads here.

That he doesn't swallow his food. What? Okay. I got an email from Jada, which by the way, if you have any theories or anything you want to talk about, Shane does some podcast stuff at gmail.com. Jada said,

honestly, I find this one kind of funny, and I've been seeing it on TikTok, that Guy Fietti doesn't actually swallow. the food he tries. What do you guys think? And all these reels and TikToks are going viral now. I've seen a bunch of them. But I want to do a live reaction to a couple of them here. But it is kind of crazy. The camera always cuts. Right after he takes a bite. How many years has he been doing this? Well, I don't know if he's doing it anymore, but he probably was doing it for like 10 years.

So give him a break. If he's on like, if he wants to be on like a health journey after a certain amount of time, it's like in his job is eating. Yeah, but they're not saying like, hey, can you eat five? pounds of this. They're just saying, test this out. Tell us an honest opinion about the flavor. But do you need a swallow food to taste it? Well, you'll, let's see if he even. I mean, spitters are quitters. I hope you even taste it. Here's the thing. I am, before we get into it, do I think this is real? Probably not. But I will say as somebody who had an era where I was spitting out my food on camera. Okay, that's what I was going to wonder if you were going to admit or not. Depending on what era I was in, because it was always flowing. You can tell by the sizes of my

shirts. But it was also, you were filming five videos in a day. at one point in time and like three of those would be food and it'd be crazy amount. So it's like, yes. You can't be consuming all of that. So I would have, you know, would I swallow everything I tried? No, but there was eras where I was swallowing the food currently in that one. Um. On the sip, we swallow everything.

Yeah, literally. A little promo. Thank you very much. That's a shirt. On the sip, we swallel. We always, we always swallow. Way. That's hard.

Yeah, 10%. You know, for the guy. All right. Let's look at, let's look at, these are some of the ones that were originally, like, blowing up the theory. For this shot, he puts the chopsticks by his nose to make you think he put something in his mouth. Is there even anything? Hold on. Slow it down.

Oh, he will. That's all right. He didn't have anything. He didn't have anything. You don't have anything. No way. What? To fake eating is crazy.

This is, okay, this is absurd. Nothing goes into his mouth here. Who is this? What is the point of this? I'm like trying to practice fake chewing. And he was like doing fake bites as if he put... There is nothing in your mouth. There is nothing in your mouth. Brother, unless you got a hole like up on your upper lip by your nose, try putting it in your mouth.

Guy did the tongue thing again. Today to Deli, we're watching. He's not going to eat it. He's not swallow food that bites. He's going to chew? Oh, yeah. Cut. Wow.

Did he even bite it? See? Didn't swallow. He's going in. He's going in. The huge bite. I mean, it's not an hour-long show. can't film the whole process of his digestive system.

Swallow it. No. Whoa. Come on. Listen, if I was Guy, he needs to do a TikTok where he just eats a full burger in silence. So I don't know. Listen, do I think Guy Fierry is spitting out his food?

I don't know, but I have heard from people that work on the show that he is so fucking nice. I've heard that too. So nice to everyone, not just like, you know, the big wigs, like nice to every single person he meets on the show, off camera, whatever. So shout out Guy for being. Not a piece of shit. You know, I also think guys, the kind of guy, I think he's going to address this.

And I think it'll be fun. In like a funny way, yeah. I think guy's a real one. He's going to come to Instagram or wherever he posts his things, and he's going to clear the air for all of us. If not lean into it. Yeah. We'll be waiting. Yeah.

Well, speaking of fake shows, I don't even have a video to show for this. This is just like something I already knew, but I didn't know how fake it got. Guys, I'm about to crush the dreams of all of my little. House hunters. That's right. The show House Hunters... Does anybody not know? No, everybody knows it's fake. But watch, you didn't know this.

Okay, so the show Househunters, if you don't know, it's about, it's on HGTV, I think. Every hotel you go to, it's all they got. For some reason, porn and house hunters. Okay, wow. Ryland always chooses house hunters. Or you in the car. It's basically, you know, they have a couple, you know, sometimes a gay couple, straight couple whatever and a realtor and they're like okay we're gonna look at three different houses and then

you decide which house you want and it's really fun and you feel like you're on the journey with them and then at the end they sit down they talk about the pros and cons and then they choose their house so everybody knows it's fake i've heard this for years i know realtors who have been on it and i've heard like yeah it's not real right so here's how i thought it was fake i thought from what i had heard that they find someone who who is actually looking for a house right but they pick the house they want. So they already know they have it. And then the producers find two fake houses. And then they go and they do the whole bit. But they actually know they already picked this house. Here's how actually fake it is. A casting director allegedly, but I literally watched an interview

I'm going to devastate my mom. Mom, stop watching. A casting director will reach out to anyone, literally just like a couple, right? Who wants to be on TV? Yeah. Okay. And then they'll say, all right, you want to be on house hunters? And they're like, uh, and they're like, okay. So if we cast you, you have to have everything in your house removed. Put into moving trucks. Your entire fucking house. Okay. And then we're going to pretend that your house is for sale.

Oh my God. They just use their house. Yes. And then we're going to go to two other houses that are actually for sale and yours. There aren't enough people in the world that are actually just moving that they can pick capture. Like this seems like, wow. No, because it's about personality.

So they're just, and who wants to be on TV enough? Who wants to be the bickering? wife who's like these carpets suck or whatever but it's never a good look it's not like your family and neighbors are going to watch and be like ah you were so nice to steve so then so then they film it right and then we choose this house and then they move everything back in and they have to and then they do the ding-don three weeks later yeah is that real that's literally allegedly from the casting director interview i watched how the fucking show works do you know all that being said does anyone here know how many seasons of that show exists? I would guess 26. No way. No. No. It is in the hundreds. What? I want to say

it's like 280 seasons. 270 seasons. That's what unbelievable. 3,600 episodes. Okay. So fair fair play to that. I'm sure that season like that shows generated a trillion dollars. Season 200 they were like fuck we are running out of houses. We got to start just having people do their own houses. I don't know. Bad to me was like, because I knew it was fake, but I didn't know it was that fake. And also, how inconvenient. Yeah. You got to empty your entire

fucking, and you know, it's just usually one of the people in the relationship that's like, I want to be on house hunters. And the other person's like, hey, we got to fucking empty out the whole thing. And they're like, yeah. Oh, God, what a nightmare. I'd want to be on house. I didn't know that the Pond Star show, I haven't watched it in like 10 years, but I didn't know that at some point,

they actually just built a set in the same building as their actual bond store, and that's where they film everything now. Oh, that's so funny. And it's like, and because, I mean, they're just trying to pump out some content. They'll have just someone off to the left, like telling the guy what to say. Yeah. Oh, yeah, just say this and that about this part. Like, yeah, you know, it was built in this year and it's worth this much.

And so it's just all geared towards being on television. It's not even, it was always fake. Like, it always was prearranged that somebody had this item, but they actually filmed it in the store now they don't even do that. I think most people know to an extent that reality TV, all of it is fake but yeah, I'm constantly shocked at how fake.

Like, again, from like when I acted on a reality show where like it was literally a script, you know what I mean? Like it's just the degree that it's fake insane. You don't understand. Crazy. You know what? This is niche, but I feel like all the Timberlake heads out there

might like this one and all the Jackson girls, but this is something I learned that I was watching an interview with Farrell. So Justin Timberlake's first album, Justifies. Oh, fake fan. I was never, I liked the girls. Rock your body. Rock your body is good. No, no, no.

He had singles that were in. Oh, my God. Something about the shirt. Oh, my God, the shirt's bringing up. Shake your drinks. So that whole album, listen, whatever you think about Timberlake, The whole album's banger after banger. I mean, we got, I love you.

Signorita. Sexy back. That was the next one. Okay. So that whole album's full of bangers. Wow, you're a real dressing head. For real. Yeah, why do I know all of you?

We have the same register. He knows the discography. So, bangor after banger, right? That's because, so Farrell talked about this, right? So this isn't like a secret. He wrote, Farrell wrote this whole album for Michael Jackson. Oh, wow.

Literally for Michael Jackson. And Michael Jackson said, pass. No way. Yes. And Farrell was like, wait, no, these are good though. And Michael's like, pass. And so then Farrell took it to Timberlake because Timberlake wanted his first solo album because he was in sync. And Timberlake was like, fuck yeah, I'll take all the fucking Michael Jackson songs.

And it became a huge album and one of a jillion grimmies. So isn't that crazy that that to me makes sense because like it feels Michael Jackson to me. And I think even on the cover and like in the promotional. you know, stuff for the album. Justin was dressed like Michael Jackson with a hat and everything. But it was interesting that like even if it was just the beats, like it was meant for another artist. And that happens all the time. Like I'll see reels all the time where it's like, you know, Aver Levine, you know, was that breakaway is her song and she didn't want it.

So then she gave it to Kelly Clark saying or like there's always things like that. But I wonder though to like if Michael Jackson had done those songs, would they have been what they are? Like exactly. Like do we expect maybe a little bit less from? Justin Timberlake for his first, you know, album? Like, for Michael Jackson, if you look at his catalog, does that actually fit or does that seem like a bland, you know, next move for Michael Jackson?

Because his production is pretty wild. Listen, I think it all happened for a reason, right? Like, Timberlake was supposed to release that album for his career and all that. But rock your buddy as the Michael Jackson song would have been a fucking banger. There's a fucking banger. It still is a banger. I'm just saying, crazy. Also, I forget how old Farrell is because the fact that he wrote that for Michael.

He never ages. He looks younger than me. He's like 73. What? Are you kidding me? I don't know. For L. No, not old.

Skateboard P? I don't know. Is he 60 already? I think he's in his late 50s or 60s. Oh my God. He's 53. Wow. Good for him.

He looks. Unbelievable. I would have been able to. Yeah. I thought they're 10 years already. Wow. Okay. This is, I wouldn't say it's a conspiracy.

I would say it's something that just really fucked me up. And I literally, it fucked me up on Rileying's birthday. We had the best birthday ever. It was so fun. And then at the end of the night, we were sitting there. I'm scrolling on Instagram. And I saw this. And I started spiraling.

And then I sent it to Rylan because I literally no context, send him a link to this. And then I just see him across the room reading it going, what the fuck? What the fuck? And I was like, I know. Okay. So this is a new story. A French teenager woke up from a three week coma where she believed in her coma that she had raised kids for seven years in an alternate life. And now she's in therapy dealing with grief counseling.

Her name is Slilia Verdeer. I hope I didn't butcher that. She's 19, and she's from France. She went to a medically induced coma for three weeks. When she woke up, she had lived seven years in her coma. During the three weeks, her brain constructed an entire life. She gave birth to triplets. She felt the pain of labor, the overwhelming wave of love holding her babies for the first time.

She watched them grow up. She learned their personalities. She named them Mila, Miles, and Malay. One of the daughters was shy. The other was a bundle of energy. She remembers walks, meals, their daily life with children, raising children. And then one of her children died shortly after birth. She grieved the loss of their death inside the coma in a reality that was completely not real.

So I know. So imagine, right? Like right now, imagine waking it from a coma. Oh, that makes me sick. And somebody being like, oh, no, no, no, sweetie. None of that was real. You're 19 years old in French. I actually can't handle that.

The thought of that makes me sick. What the fuck does that mean? And now you're her, right? And you're sitting so bad. I'm sending so much love to this girl. You're laying in that bed and you're like, where's my kids? I'm like, that they don't exist. I just remember having a dream when I was like six years old about getting a brand new Super Nintendo.

And it felt real. And then I woke up and there was no Super Nintendo. And I was fucking shattered that whole day. I can't imagine if I had like three kids. You know, wow. The way I'm kind of thinking about it, and I feel weird, like, creating a theory on this girl's real life. Well, it's also, she's not the only one who's experienced this.

It's like a thing that can happen to people in comas. Well, I've been seeing a lot of reels and a lot of things about people talking about how when you dream, you're actually tapping into another version of you in an alternate reality. And a lot of scientists have said that alternate realities do exist. And every decision you make, like say you want to, you know, buy a house and you end up backing out in another reality you did buy the house. My thought is, what if when you go into a coma, your consciousness is connecting or tapping into you

in an alternate timeline? So maybe her children do exist. Maybe this all did happen just in a different timeline that she was tapping into. And then when she woke up, she snapped back into this timeline. Whoa. It freaks me out that you can live an entire life in a coma. Yeah.

Well, to lighten it up, my final theory. And this is more just fun. and it's not even really a theory. Well, I guess it kind of is. It's about elevators. Oh, I hate elevators. So this is something when I found out really pissed me off because there's no, I would say I am an expert button pusher in the elevator.

I feel like people rely on me to really do this in my relationships. Just check this. Here's your reminder that the closed door button on your elevator hasn't worked since 1990. It's been a placebo for 35 years. When the Americans with Disabilities Act passed in 1990, It required elevator doors to stay open long enough for someone in a wheelchair or crutches or a cane to get inside at least three seconds. Elevator manufacturers responded by disconnecting the button or just not wiring anything to it in the first place. The head of the national elevator industry confirmed it.

No passenger can close those doors any faster. The only ones who can are firefighters and maintenance workers and they have like a special key, but for everyone else it's just decoration. and most crosswalk buttons in major cities don't work either. In 2004, New York City admitted that most of their pedestrian crossing buttons had been deactivated ever since they switched to computer-controlled traffic lights. A Harvard psychologist, Ellen Langer, actually explained this by saying, quote, perceived control is very important. It diminishes stress and promotes well-being. Meaning we don't actually need the button to work, we just need to believe that it does.

So next time somebody asks you to hold the door open and you keep pressing that closed door button, You're just revealing your true colors. My whole life, I was like, I hit this button and like, it doesn't close. I swear it's not doing anything. And like, on and off. I'm like, am I crazy or in like, no one's ever confirmed this to me until now? Isn't they crazy? I'm not crazy.

Why not just discontinue the button and newer elevators? It makes you think. Oh, the control. Wow. I will say I saw everything recently that in L.A. because the streets here are such a bad design that most of the buns are real but in most other cities they're not so we're special well um actually i lied i have one final thing to say and i'm saying this because we talked about it in the last episode and ever since then i have been seeing them

fucking everywhere and even rylind was like oh my gosh like i'm seeing them everywhere too i didn't know i thought there were solar panels i didn't know this was what it was these flock cameras are getting so fucking crazy but i always also saw that they started doing flock drones, which we were talking about in the last episode how these whole flock cameras, basically, these security cameras that are everywhere now, they're tracking literally everything that you're doing and like, you know, it's crazy, right? And people were saying, oh, it's kind of similar to Minority Report where it's like the cameras are tracking whether or not you're going to commit a crime before you commit it. And like

maybe that's where this is heading. And I remember in movies like Minority Report, there'd be these drones that would fly around and watch you. Like it wasn't just cameras like this. It was like these flying drones. And then I saw this video. I wish this was fake, but Flock's safety now has drones flying in the sky. Flock's drones can hit up to 60 miles per hour and can read a license plate from up to 2,000 feet away. Flock also says that the camera can be overhead within 90 seconds of 1,911 call. This isn't just a few towns testing it out either.

Flock is aiming for 100 drones in cities by the end of 2026, with drones already deployed in California, Washington, and Michigan at least. But a February class action lawsuit says out of state agent. search Flock's San Francisco cameras 1.6 million times in seven months. One county also found over 300,000 unauthorized searches too. And here's something I haven't seen people talk about. Flock also sells a tool called Nova that pulls license plates, drone footage, jail records, and public records into one Google style search. And apparently the NOVA code base had a dark data category with fields for social security numbers, credit cards, and crypto wallets. Although

Flock denies these claims. Um, okay, listen, all I'm gonna say is this. Maybe Flock is doing good things, right? Maybe this is going to help. If in a year, every fucking missing person isn't found, then we need to, we have a problem. Actually, because even if that's not the real purpose, even if they're just collecting data or whatever, like, have that be a side purpose that you build out the feature, yeah. Use it for good in some way. That's crazy. The scary thing he says in the video is cities are now regretting the flock thing, and they're legally not allowed to take them down.

and so they've started just covering them with like bags. Because we can't, we're going to get sued if we take these down because that's how much control that they have over the place. So next year I'll go hiding. You guys will report me missing. It'll be a video. Does flock find me? It's like 10 seconds.

Yeah, we don't. Wow. Well, speaking of crazy mother flockers. Spencer is a game. Well, actually, I'm actually going to head out, guys. I figure I'm just going to head out. early but I have a substitute coming in later. I hope you get a nap or something. Yeah, I'm gonna go take a nap.

It's nice seeing, dude. It was great to see you guys. Yeah, good to see you. All right, I'll see you guys. Oh, thank you, man. Okay, bye. Hey, guys, long time no see you. It's good to be back. So handsome. I didn't even see you come in. Well, I'm mysterious. Is that a mask? No, no part of me is rubber at all. Well, guys, I actually brought a fun.

little game if you guys want to play I'd love to love games and a little I will say I took a little bit of this game from a place called Joe Box TV go watch them they're very funny buy a little about it kind of a little game welcome to I renamed it welcome to the mix up yay we have a slide show today this is the mix up I don't know if you can read that but today we're playing a mix of and today you're gonna be using your five senses to determine what is in these drinks I have put two ingredients This scares me. In each drink.

They are all edible ingredients. What the hell does that mean? No poison, no alcohol. This guy walked out to me at a bar and said, guess what's in this drink? I would call the cops. There should be a picture of you at bars and don't accept a drink from this guy. Don't talk about drinks with this guy.

Well, wait until you see the first one. But the rules of the game are the mix-up. I am going to have a jar of a drink. And it's going to look weird because I only had jars to keep with it. And you guys have your cups. You're going to be able to pour. You don't have to drink it. You can just use all your senses.

I would advise taking a little sip. Okay. But you can use all five of your senses, and you will write down on your whiteboard what you think the two ingredients are. I'm going to use, you know, it doesn't have to be exact, exact, but I'm going to use a little bit of judgment here.

You're going to get one point for one correct answer, two points for two correct answers. Okay. You guys ready to play? I'm just scared. Is it gross? Some of them are going to be kind of gross. And are we all like,

Guy Fieri or are we swallowers? That's what I'm saying. You don't have to, it's not like you have to chug it. have to do it. You could dip your tongue in. You could just do it. However you'd like to do it, some could be delicious, some could be, well, I tried one and it wasn't delicious, but. What the fuck is that. You guys ready for

drink? Number one. Milk? I think I'm going to be weirdly scary good at this. I was doing this. I was like, I think Shane is going to be really good at this game. This is like the water talkers dream. Yeah. So just pour a little bit into your cup. Pass it around, please. It's like coconut. I want the foam. Lucky you

Oh there was a little chunky in there Oh Spencer There's no loads in any of this stuff It looks like it Are any gonna make us sick? This one won't What are the two ingredients

And mystery drink number one I don't smell any If you guys need a refill, please let me know I have plenty more where that came from I have no idea I'm bad at this I don't think this is it, but I'm kind of feeling it. Was that one good or not? I haven't tasted some of these.

Nope. That way I'm in solidarity. I'm, you know, I'm in the competition with you guys. It feels like a familiar taste, but I can't. It's not as bad knowing what it is. I'll say that. It's not as bad. Oh, maybe mine's wrong.

I just thought that was going to be worse. I'll be honest. Oh, oh, maybe I'm right. Okay. Everyone has their answers down? Yes. Okay, let's reveal our answers before we reveal the thing. What have you guys said?

Jared said Sprite and almond milk. Oh. I'm just hoping one of these are right. I don't know. Chris said sparkling water and coconut milk. Rylan said coconut cream and sprite. I said Alka Seltzer and milk. Jared got it.

On the money, it is. What? That's impressive. How is you get it throffee? Prothy. I don't know. That happened in the jar. I don't know how that is.

The crazy thing is I put milk and then I'm all like this. I thought almond milk. It's totally that. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Once you know what it is, it's not as gross of a like, I mean, it's not, you know, it's not a great combo, but it's not like defal. It's so funny because I kept being like, I know the taste. I know that and it's almond milk. You're right. You're right. All right. You guys ready for drink number two? Yeah. Oh, come on.

Drink. It's piss. Number two. If your piss looks like this, go to the doctor. Drink number two. The pictures are good. Thank you. Thank you. Something's creamy about it. I like it. It is kind of creamy. Interesting. Why does yours have white in it? Interesting. Why is it all over my mouth? It's everywhere. That looks like something else happened.

I didn't think about the shit though. Then this comes spilling out when I'm worried. That looks like, that looks interesting. I'll say that. This is good, Steve. So it's two brands. Wait, so does the brand have multiple flavors? One of them does.

Okay. Everyone got answers? Yes. All right. Reveal in three, two, one. Show me what you got. We have cactus cooler. Oh.

So orange fanta apple juice, orange fanta seven up, Sunny D and LaCroix. The only point here is going to go to Jared because we have white monster energy and cactus cooler. And what does monster taste the most like for beverage? I've never drinking that. Mountain Dew, I would say. I would say yes.

I would have drink either of those. Cactus cooler doesn't have a zero option, so unfortunately I'm not into her. Oh, it's been years since I've sipped upon it. Yeah, I haven't had it since high school. It's the best. Alright, so that's going to put Jared with a solid lead at three. Ryland has one point.

Shane and Chris, got to make up sometime. Okay, we have drink number three. Rough. Ooh, tar. I think I almost know what it is already. This one, be careful with it. There's a certain shimmer. Be careful with it.

Well, they've been stored a while if there's no carbon. Yeah, there should be some. Yeah, be careful to flavor of this. Ooh. That might be... Is this dendruff? You recreated vomit. Good job.

I'll do a solidarity sip, of course. You should work at the Harry Potter beanries. Wow, that's crazy that it still tastes like that after I did all that to it. I had another... Wow, it's like it's a new flavor. Does everyone have answers down? All right, reveal in three, two, one. Dr. Pepper Vegemite, Dr. Pepper Salt.

Dr. Pepper's salt, the yaw brothers have it. It is Dr. Pepper and salt. Just salt. I almost said Mordant. Dr. Pepper, baby, it's good and nice. Yeah, I was on vinegar until you said it's not. It is a dripper. A nice dripper.

This is drink number four. Is this the end? I don't think that's a good idea. Oh, okay. We're getting hints. This isn't good the week after a stomach part. Sorry. This might be the last time we ever played this game.

No, I mean, I can appreciate the game. Yes, I think food would be fun. Oh, sauce is something. I'm excited. This one, I'm curious what it is. Oh, is it bad? Is this one bad? Is it bad?

I only smelt it, and the smell is brutal. The smell is awful. It does smell like listerine. It does smell. It smells like soap. I'm sorry, she. Is this poison? No, no, no.

It's too. Is there rat poison? Is that one of the agree? These are two very common things that you would not think twice about drinking. Actually, it tastes, it's another one of those where you know what it is. It doesn't taste as bad. This is a tough one. This is a very hard one, I will say.

But I would say the smell is a good, it's a better hint than flavor for one of them. I'm confident. I'm assuming you ruined one of my favorite things possibly. Yep. Because it's giving me the thought of like, I can never have it again. That would be horrible if that's true. Oh, the burp does feel like Shane's, one of Shane's favorite things. All right.

Let's reveal your answers in 3-2-1. Root beer, lemon juice, Lime Diet Coke. The Y'all brothers have it again. It is root beer and lemon juice. Ironically, I'm washing it down with the root beer. Yeah, you kind of ruined it. It's like I had food poisoning and I don't...

Yeah, I'm so sorry about that. Yeah, now this tastes like shit. And if you guys thought those ones were bad, this is the worst one. Yay. This is the final round. Don't worry. This is the final round.

I feel unknown. Woo! Ooh, ooh. Yeah, dude, my stomach feels right, bro. Do you know if you mix too much salt with lemon, it can actually give you ulcers? What if you already have? I'm not just be careful with this one. Ooh.

That looks like chocolate milk. Yeah, it's not. That's a latte quality. Oh, the way that it plopped. You're not gonna like any part of this guy's. I'm sorry. Oh, like, I know that. I have to go.

I don't think. I love that smell, to be honest. It actually kind of smells better than... Actually, this one, I will say, it looks gross. It tasted way better than I thought it was going to. I would dip a nugget. Yes. I really can't even think of the second ingredient.

Okay, everyone have their answers down. Let's reveal your answers in three, two, one. We have chick-fil-a sauce and apple juice, coffee, Thousand Island, chick-fil-a-sauce ketchup, chocolate milk, and barbecue sauce. Shane is going to be the only one with a point here because it is the Emily in Paris raspberry creamer

plus barbecue sauce. It is sweet baby race. It is sweet baby rave. That is this Emily and Paris thing viral or something? No, I was just at the grocery store and I thought that was the funniest. I was like, what is something no one? I would have started this. As a segment producer, 10 out of 10.

As a participant, zero out of 10. Yeah, my stomach feels gross. Okay, counting up the points. Wait, wait, wait. But we're counting up, but there's one final. No. Oh, but, but, but, oh, I gotta go get it. The pictures are so good.

The slideshow is great. It's been to really let his creativity shine with this slide. Oh, wow. Oh, none of us have cups. Oh, he has bonus cups. After having norovirus, that blue looks very familiar. Take a cup and force them and pass it on. This one, I would say, is not gross, but it's a tricky one.

Don't worry, it's not gross, I promise. You don't trust me. It is 7 to 6 with Shane and Jared. Rylan has, I think, only one point still. And we can stop there. Chris has a goose, the goose egg. But this is the minion bonus round, so it's worth Two points.

All I taste is barbecue sauce. I think that last- It coated your mouth. I think I got it. All right, reveal your answers in three, two, one. Blue Powerade, Red Bull, Power, coconut or a blue kid. It is just Gatorade.

Oh, I knew it. I feel like I got a point. Yeah, you did. Listen, I just did so bad that I wanted to acknowledge how close that was. That was so good. That was so close. And the coconut?

And Chris, I'll give you half a point. Nice shoes, Steve. All right, so Shane is actually from a come from behind victory. with eight Jared you have seven Ryland you have two or you have three actually and Chris you have half a point thank you guys for playing the mix
