The worst part about loving cars might just be buying them and all the parts. But on eBay, behind every car in part is a story waiting to be shared. There was a guy who bought a 2021 Porsche Cayman that was well loved. I mean, there are plenty of Cayman's in great condition on eBay. But this one needed some work.

This guy buys it and rebuilds the whole thing, all with parts he found on eBay. And now, that nearly scrapped Cayman is out tearing up the track. From Toyotas to Aston Martins, eBay has thousands of cars and the largest online selection of vehicle parts and accessories. eBay, things people love. I had a gay guy on my podcast recently who taught me the benefits of doing a cold plunge with cum instead of water. I must say the difference is incredible. I feel younger and stronger than I've ever felt. And the best part is you have gallons of delicious cum to drink after you're done.

Whoa! Whoa! Look at us. It's the Star Tank podcast. Welcome. It's me. It's me, Chris Reagan, and it's him, Tom Sweeney. Derek is gone today.

He was on his way to the podcast, and he was abducted. We, he was, I watched him walking up the street up to my house in an ice cream truck, just swerved up to the sidewalk, yanked him, didn't even stop. A really big, long, a really long hand crept out of the window and grabbed him by his hoodie. Actually, no, two hands grabbed him by his ears, by his earlobes because he's got the handles on his ears. And then yanked him into the, into the ice cream truck. And we haven't heard from him since. We texted him.

We was like, hey, I saw you got abducted by an ice cream truck. I hope you're doing all right. Let us know when you get back so we can record the show. He never got back to us. So, I don't know. We're assuming he's gone. We've assumed he's gone already. Yeah, we'll give him another week.

And then maybe we'll call the police. I think at that point, we'll be like, hey, you know. Maybe. This might be, this might be something that you should probably look into. But, or maybe not. You know, I don't know, who knows? We do split. Here's the thing.

We have a situation here at the podcast where we all kind of, We all contribute, like, a very specific role. And so we each carry, like, like, Sweeney handles a lot of, like, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the back-end kind of business stuff and emails. I kind of organize the show and write the show and organize questions and do some Patreon stuff. And then Derek edits. So we all kind of split evenly, like, everything that we get out of the show.

But with Derek gone, it just kind of, I mean, it's kind of like a pay raise, the way that I, the way that I think about it. Like, if he dies, like, I would say it like that. Because he lost a cold from a friend. Yeah, but I mean, I mean, yeah, but you know, I mean, it's, he'll be bad. He'll be fine. It's just an ice cream truck abduction. Like, these things happen all the time.

I don't even turn my, I don't even turn to my phone when there's an Amber Alert, you know, because I know they'll be fine. That's crazy. I turn, I try to silent my phone at me. I remember I was like, God, shut up. I don't care. Do you see that thing where they had like, uh, this was a while back, to be fair. A couple weeks ago or at least a couple months. months ago, I think, maybe. Max, Max, two months ago.

We're like, these two girls, like, saw an Amber Alert go off and then they went and tracked it down. They actually, like, did it. Like, they actually, like, found the car and saved a kid. I was like, man, that's a lot of effort. I would never do that. Don't tell me that. I feel so bad. I feel so bad right now. I know. Doesn't it make you feel like a worst person? I feel so bad. They took a minor initiative and they saved a life. I hate it. Well, to be fair, they took pretty extensive initiative. Like, I don't think they had anything else going on. That is probably, that, that probably plays into it in some way.

But, like, it would have to be remarkably convenient. What? You know how bad it makes me feel? No. Because that means, how many times could we have probably saved the kid's life? What a, I mean. I don't want to think about, this is not, I don't want to think about that. Because really is like, oh, a child's missing.

You should up and out of them and go look for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's move on from, yeah, you know, you're right, let's move on from child endangerment. Let's talk about the Nickelodeon document. Child endangerment. Let's talk about child endangerment. So, obviously, there was a documentary released on, I think, I think, I saw it on Max, but I think it's in other places, too. It's called Quiet on Set, the Dark Side of Kids TV. It's a four-part miniseries, I think.

I don't know if there's any more parts. It ends kind of concisely, but I also, like, it feels like, they released two episodes and then they released another two like a day later so it feels kind of I don't really understand what's going on but I think it's over though and it basically details

a lot of the just a lot of the shit that went down behind the scenes at Nickelodeon as far as like their live action stuff like there's thankfully there's no SpongeBob rapist or anything that would have been that we know

that we know of yet. And so we're talking about like a lot of the kids shows that like I remember growing up watching. Like I don't I don't know exactly what the age range for this podcast is as far as like audience goes. I don't look at the metrics because I don't, I'm not metrically minded. I don't care really.

I have to imagine that that's like a, at least 30% of the audience. if I were to guesstimate.

So there's all these shows like Cousin Skeeter and all that and and and just all these shows that we used to watch, The Amanda show, Drake and Josh. And I remember watching these shows

like pretty, not religiously, but like a lot. You know, like I, like sincerely really enjoyed the Amanda show. I really, really enjoyed Drake and Josh especially. I didn't really fall. I didn't fall into I Carly or victorious or those

Like that was like I liked victorious and I Carly I enjoyed those those are like the ending of my era Of like watching that That was the beginning That was the beginning of the end for me Where I was like okay yeah I see I see what's going on

Ah you know I'm getting a little There was some noticeable weird shit In I Carly and Victoria stuff But that is true I was like That's also true Where like I was watching it And I started to feel uncomfortable

That I was watching it Like as a young as a older teen by the way mind you like this isn't even necessarily like I'm not 25 you know like I'm not like 25. I'm not like I'm in my teens still and I'm watching like scenes in in I Carly and I'm thinking like that's scratching parts of my brain that really should not be scratched by kids TV. So I'm going to stop watching this. This is alarming parts of my brain. I was like, this is alarming me. You know what's funny, too? Like, I remember specifically, like, all right, we're getting ahead of ourselves.

Basically, this documentary goes into all sorts of, like, really horrific shit that went on behind the scenes. Some of it, some of it I do feel is brought into the documentary and makes it, I don't know, like, there's some things where it's like, there's like adult jokes in these shows, which is like, yeah, that's true. There's certain things that happen in that show in, like, I Carly and Victoria, specifically like Sam and Cat. where they have Ariana Grande on a bed pouring water over her or whatever and it's just very and she's like upside down on a bed

and she's like squirting water in her face she's like I'm thirsty and it's like ah I remember at the time seeing that in the credits or something for like one of the shows and be like that's this is strange

I don't like this but then there are other examples like on the Amanda show like there was a character named like Penelope Taint and it's just like oh well Taint is like you know it's and it's like

that kind of I get what I get it I get that it contributes to it but it's like there was all sorts of like dirty jokes and like animaniacs and all of our kids cartoons too like do you remember that fingerprints joke from like animaniacs? Yes.

Like there's that that stuff is I don't know like sometimes the documentary went into that territory where I was like you're kind of I don't know if this is that this specific thing is necessarily worth getting into when you have literal sexual assault and pedophiles working on the show

that you could be delving into right now. but I agree I agree But that's But that's what happened But I didn't see it So I'm subtracted from it to a degree It gets bad

There was a point There was a point in time Where after like watching Nickelodeon it felt Because like even now After a while they like reducts them And they're very kiddie Like Nickelodeon's now very kid like Yeah

But for a period of time It was like very much so like It was edgy Like I watched Victoria I watch Victorious because I, because of the stuff that was happening on Victorious, you know? Of course, yeah, of course. These are attractive girls. And there's some, some, some shit going on.

Yeah, I'm watching it. You know, like I knew what I was there for. I wasn't there for funny jokes. It's like totally spies. Exactly. You know, like, it's like totally spies. It's like, I don't know why I'm watching this. The teacher was talking, right?

And he had the lotion, he squirted lotion. the face of all the girls there. That's a crazy. And I was just like, that's, that is a, yeah, so,

oh, so there's, look, so there's a lot of on air innuendo, like an, and on, in show jokes that I think,

some of them cross the line, like a lot. And then some of them, I think are just like, I don't know. Like, I don't really, some of them I really don't see any different from like the Animaniacs jokes.

And it's like, yeah, whatever. Like, if you're, if you're an adult and you're watching, like, TV with your,

with your fucking kids, there's got, be something there to pull you in too so you don't go fucking miserable. I think that's why my dad loved SpongeBob so much because there was like a lot of stuff in there that was like not crude or lewd in that sense necessarily but like geared

towards an audience that clearly doesn't. Like there's no way kids understood that scene when Squidward was trampled. Remember that scene where Squidward's like flat on the street and he's talking about like nobody cares about the fate of labor as long as they can get their instant gratification. I don't know what the fuck that

meant, you know. But I was just laughing because like LOL Squidward is flat But it quickly gets so much worse than just on air And you because like Dan Schneider He's a piece of shit. He's like he's like an asshole boss He's like he's he's like mean to people he's he's he's there's like a bunch of conflicting things in the documentary Because he's apparently like very very there for The some people and then very very like dismissive of others

He's a weird figure I'm not exactly sure how to feel about him because I think he's fucking no doubt creepy and weird but there are people in this documentary that make him look like a fucking saint in comparison, which is wild. So one of the craziest things that I, one of the craziest things that blew fucking my mind about this, right, was, so basically there were not one but three, basically like child molesters on the sets of like all that and,

and these other things, right? and they were working. Obviously, it came out later that they didn't, they didn't hire them. We were like, oh, you're a sex offender. Come on. He's a job. But it came out,

it came out later, right? And one of them, the guy's name is Brian Peck. And this dude, he's, if you remember the Amanda show or all that, he's pickle boy. What?

From the Amanda show. Yeah. So, so, so I don't even know where to begin with this, because it is fucking, crazy. So Drake Bell comes out in episodes three and four of this documentary series, basically to open up about what happened to him for the first time ever. Like, he's, I've, I, no, this was

never known before. Or like, what was, what happened was known, but nobody knew that it was Drake Bell. Um, that was the victim of, of the scenario. And basically, like, this dude, first of all, let me, let me set the stage a little bit. He has parties at his house, right? And He's got a garage with a bunch of Hollywood memorabilia in it. And he's got this painting of a clown. And one of the kids, I can't remember if it was Drake or if it was somebody else. But one of the kids goes like, hey, what's that? That's not like anything else in this room.

And he goes, oh, you want to see? So he takes this painting of the clown. And it's like, I think behind it or like on top of it or like something related to it, there there are messages like paper like pen pal messages between this dude brian peck and john wayne gasey the serial killer and he was just showing this to everybody he like this is not yeah this is not like it's not like a secret you're kidding right i'm not even remotely that's so much more than that's more insane than that is so much more insane than I would have ever guessed that to be what is going on right now you you I was my mouth was a gape when I saw I was like are you cannot be fucking

serious that this dude was like communing with a serial killer and like people knew like it wasn't even like a secret like he was showing this off to people as like memorabilia and it's like what the fuck how did so that that that that That didn't raise any red flags. It's crazy. But, I mean, the documentary goes into it a lot more in depth, obviously. But, like, you know, he ends up driving a wedge between Drake and his dad. And basically kind of makes himself Drake's guardian for, like, a while.

And so he's, like, at his house all the time. And there's all this, like, really horrific shit that happens in that time. And it's crazy. It is one of the craziest things ever. And there's like stuff about Amanda Binds in there, but Amanda Bynes doesn't speak. She's not in it. A lot of it is kind of tangential or like third, like, you know, third party. Yeah.

Yeah, just kind of talking about like, yeah, it's weird. They were really close. I don't know of anything happened really. Like I don't, I don't, the way that I feel about Dan Schneider is like, I don't know if he's, I don't. know if he's like a pedophile, but like I think he's really fucking creepy and I think he's an egotomaniac. It's kind of the vibe that I got because like he he did like try to help Drake out of that situation. So like I don't really know how to how to view this this dude. Outside the fact that I just wouldn't want to be near him. It's just the safest way to go about it.

But dude, I really, you, I know I spoiled some of the stuff here. Like with like that John Wayne Gacy should fucking threw me for a loop. Like, really discombobulated me. But, and the crazy thing about this, too, is like, after all this happened, after he's convicted, by the way.

He gets sentenced to 16 months in jail for raping a fucking 15 year old, like repeatedly. Crazy. He served 16 months in jail and then guess where he ends up working? Where? He ends up working. on the sweet life of Zach and Cody. You're out of your... After! After! And then, like, in his court hearings,

there was, like, all these people who, like... When he went to go get sentenced or whatever, like, there were all these people, like, these famous people, like, on his side of the court... To, like, support him while Drake Bell was just, like, up on the fucking... Like, next to the judge and, like, talking about, like, yo, how is it...

Why there's so many people... Like, all these people... Like, there's a bunch of people who wrote... letters defending the Brian Peck and all this stuff and is like James Marsden is in there he wrote a letter the guy from fucking Sonic the Hedgehog

just the strangest it's such a strange fucking it's wild so I really do highly recommend watching that documentary it's depressing and it will probably sour a lot of your memories of certain

TV shows all that is definitely kind of fucked up Drake and Josh less so. What makes the crazy is that Drake Drake worked for them for so many more years after that too. Yeah. That's what makes it so sad. He was working with them until like literally like maybe like 2010.

He was still working with them, dude. Yeah, it's insane. Yeah, it's really heartbreaking. Like, because he's like, Drake is talking, but he's like kind of staring. Like he's very like it's very it's very obvious I mean like He's traumatized

Yeah but like He's very much so traumatized It kind of puts into perspective Like because there was this kind of narrative going around I don't know if you guys remember like The there's like a Drake and Josh thing Where like Drake wasn't invited to the wedding

Or Josh's wedding and He was kind of mad about it And there was like a whole falling out thing that that kind of happened I remember this years ago Because I remember being like I remember yeah it was like maybe like three four years ago Yeah, and it really That was like a kind of a nuanced situation

Because on some level there was a lot of I remember thinking like Yeah, I mean Josh wants to move on Drake is kind of living in the past It is there is some level of like I don't know if it's necessarily pathetic But like just wanting Just wanting to cling on to somebody

To that degree Felt like It just felt like it just dude move on Like it's like whatever Like you worked on TV it's not that big of a deal. But like with the context of this and knowing that like like being on Drake and Josh

happened after all of that. And it was kind of like. It was like a reprieve for him literally. Yeah. It was like all that shit that was going on with him. He's finally found a place where like, I'm not being hurt. I'm safe here.

And he had a place where he could go. He had like a work relationship that was. good. He had a, you know, a set experience that was good. He was working with somebody that he liked and respected after all that. I think, like, that recontextualizes a lot of things. Like, okay, it's still, there is a clinginess to it that is still kind of like probably unhealthy, but like I totally fucking understand. But thing is that's so we don't know what. We don't know if Josh knew what. We don't know what Josh knew. Well, that's another thing. Josh, I don't know, man. Josh is fucking weird. He's, he's very weird now. And he's been weird for a while.

he's been like the second he started doing stuff with David Dobering I remember being like hmm you're strange that was that was like my first kind of inkling that things were kind of off with him but yeah dude like he did this video like I think two days ago so like after the documentary I think he was like he was he was he was lip syncing to some audio where he was like if I haven't talked to you from 20 if I haven't talked to you since 20 23 take the hint you're dead to me or whatever And it's just like, I don't know if it's not the best thing to, not the best. Not the best. Yeah, so it's a she-situation.

It is a she-sister for sure. Yeah, now it should be noted. It should be noted that, I mean, Drake Bell got into trouble too. Yeah, he did some stuff as well. We did talk about that on the show because he did. I think, I think the way that I remember that I remember it was that like he was, talking to or like he was in communication with somebody who was underage and then if i remember correctly yeah and if i remember correctly i think there was like a court case and i think

when the age was brought up he like cut contact or something but but he still had the conversation so like he was kind of like you know he was like hey all right yeah you know i i did this or whatever um fucked up. Not good. But I've seen some people being like, isn't it wild how Drake Bell had all that stuff to did to him? And then like he went and did it again. And it's just like, listen. Well, that's tech. That's often the case. It's often the case. But it's not no, no, no. But like there's he is viciously raped for many, many, many, many, many, many months on like constantly. And he there's a, there's a pretty fucking thick distinction. There are the, there are the two. Like there's a massive degree in separation there. I'm not saying it's good. It's a bad thing that he did that. And I'm glad that he at least like, you know, fucking, you know, what is it? Because he did his like time or whatever at the very least.

But like, he got caught and he got caught and he what you call it. He's no longer repeated it. And that's right. That's good. It's sad that he did it, obviously. We don't condone the fact that he did that. That's the main thing. He should face consequences.

But like there is. we do this constantly where like this reminds me of the Aziz Ansari and Bill Cosby thing where it's like listen man none of these things are good but you cannot possibly

you cannot possibly in good if you know anything about how serious this kind of thing is like there's you would never in good faith make these make those comparisons that people people don't know how serious is because what happened is that people

say things a lot and they don't experience stuff. So what happens is that when you say those words, when you put those words on people, people don't understand this. They don't get it, right? When those words touch you, even if they're not true, it stains you. I could have done nothing wrong, period. If those words are brought up for you, your life is ruined. Your life is ruined.

Especially these famous people. They're like, that's the way we can bring them down. You know, they're like birds flying above us. us. And we can take him down and we take these rocks with these horrible meanings and we throw him and hit him with it. You know, so it's like, it's really, I guess this is a sorry situation. If I'm not mistaken, if I'm not mistaken, what happened was he just had a really

terrible day and he was trying to get laid afterwards, right? Wasn't that what it was? Well, he was, he was, he was, he was very inappropriate and I think pushy or something. Like there was, yeah, it's not okay. But it's not, you're not a ruggling champion of humanity. It's not, you know, it's not. Yeah, but it's not drugging hundreds of women for decades. Like, I don't know.

Chris, do you remember? Chris, remember we were living together? And the numbers just kept going up. And numbers just kept going up and going. Every morning, it was like four more. I was like, dude, I thought it was maybe alive the first few. But now there's more than years I've been alive. It's insane.

And I was like, this is. His count was insane. So, like, I don't know. I think there just needs to be not so much nuance that you excuse everything that's happening, but enough nuance where you can like delineate between like, this, I mean, these are very different things. And I think it's just worth bringing that up. Like, I feel bad for Drake Bell, like, sincerely. I don't think it's cool that he did what he did.

I hope that, you know, he can just exist in a better way from here on out. I hope that this helps him heal or whatever And I You know But you know You shouldn't have had Conversations of the minor either But that that guy

That guy who's that pedophile Who by the way is apparently I think as of Maybe not as of the dropping of the documentary But as of at least a couple days before Was still working in the industry So That guy can

That guy can die Like that guy can That is fucking crazy that that guy was just working there for so long. Insane. Insane. Insane. Insane. I can't wait until the Disney one comes out. Because I know Disney's doing everything in their power to prevent one of those things to come out. I know they've probably got so much shit going on and they're trying hard to keep that.

They hired that wall from cracking, dude. They hired a convicted pedophile to work out the sweet life as I can go. You cannot, at the very least for Nickelodeon, at least they didn't know. that he would like at the very least like the slimmest bottom of the barrel defense that you could get is like look we didn't know that this was happening we didn't know yet Disney knew and they were like just keep an eye on him I guess he's a good PA don't leave him with Zach and Cody that's it don't leave him with the twins there were there were some things that really pissed me off though like in that documentary too because like there were like some of these parents are fucking inept right now with Ram trucks Declos of deals.

These parents are fucking... Dude, one of the first examples is like one of the first predator that got caught was like some young PA on, I think all that where he was like sending messages.

He was like he was emailing the kids and he sent this one girl like a like a naked photo in email. Like through an email. And the mom was like, well, I don't know if I should. And the mom was like, I don't know if I should call the police. because they're going to think that I'm a bad parent. Oh. They're going to think I'm a bad parent for letting my, for letting my daughter fall into the situation.

It's like, no, what makes you a bad parent is having your kid fall in that situation and then not calling the fucking police. You had evidence? You had an email of this dude sending? There's no way. There's no way. I wouldn't have. There's, like, I don't know.

Like, what kind of parents are these? I don't have, I don't have kids, right? I don't even really like kids at all. Really. Fundamentally speaking. But that enraged me. Like when I saw that, I was like, you, I cannot believe that there are people with kids who are that fucking just, like, do you, like, do you, do you, do you just not care? I was fucking speechless when I saw that.

When she was like, oh, you know, I thought they would think I was a bad parent. I didn't want to, like, I didn't want to, I didn't want to, I didn't want people to think that of me. And it's like, well, I'm sure that worked out. Because now millions of people... What's you fucking do? Now millions of people know you did this. Or that you didn't do anything more accurately. Like, who the fuck would fault?

Like, first of all, who the fuck would fault a parent for calling the police on a pedophile? You know, why? Those stupid-ass parents have their kids in a situation where they're making money off them, right? So their kids are their form of money, right? So they're like, instead of protecting. their kids, which is somehow possible people can do this. It's like, I want to protect my money more than my child.

And that is outrageous because I just I don't know how this, like we both read and listened to the whole thing with what's your name. The girl that played Sam Pucket. Oh, Janette. Her mother is outraged.

Like that was, yeah, yeah. She was just, she was just means of money to harass her family. And it was just out of this world that parents like that exist. And I think people that are willing to put their children to showbiz, I guess mathematically have to be more like that than people that are willing not to, you know? It is inherently more exploitative because there's no way, like, unless your kid like literally

displays an interest in it at like a young age where it's like, hey, I want to do this. That's not really what's, I can't imagine. that's necessarily what's happened. It is what's happened for some people. Like, I know Drake Bell wanted to do it and like that was like, you know, him and his dad were like really close and and then they had like a really good relationship. And even it's really heartbreaking listening to Drake Bell's dad talk about it because he was like he literally like, he knew that something was off about him. Well, yeah, well, he knew that something was off about him and he was like, he was telling him like he would tell people like, listen, Drake wants to be immense. He wants to go his own

way. He wants me to not be a part of his life. I understand that. But don't let, don't leave him alone with this guy. And everybody was telling him it was like, you're just being homophobic or something. Like, that's what they would tell him. It's like he's gay. It's just like he's not, you're just, you're just being homeboy. He's like, what the fuck? And so it's, it's really fucking sad.

But like, you got a. That's so hard. Dude, that's so hard. That is so heartbreaking. It's really, that is so heartbreaking that you're, you're, you're defending your child and people are calling you a homophobe, bro.

That's crazy. It's, that would make you a homophobe. That would do it. Yeah. It would do it. If there's anything that would do it, it would be that, yeah. But, dude, like, I don't know.

I saw that, I saw that, that parent talking about that. And I was just like, I, I didn't know. It was always up in the air for me. It's like whether or not, like, because, like I said, like, I just, I don't, I don't, I don't like, I don't like, I don't like, I don't like, would I, like, would I, like, would I, like, would I, like, would I, like, as a parent. Like, would I be an attentive parent? I remember that I've thought this. And I always thought for a while, I was like, probably not. And then I saw this and I was like, oh, well, I'm, I'm, no, I think I'd be all right.

Because this is fucking crazy. Because even if somebody hates kids, you can see how odd, like, dude, I don't, I don't, I fucking cannot comprehend how you would not call the police in that situation. Or at the very least, report the fucking guy. guy to the company. At the very, if you're not going to, like, call the police on it, which I think is the most responsible thing to do, just to protect other people. At the very least, go to the fucking higher-ups in Nickelodeon and be like,

dude, this dude sent this photo to my fucking daughter. He shouldn't be working here. At the very least. The very minimal. I don't know. I was, I was fucking furious. My heart would, my heart would, I don't have, like, I often have the moments where I have to sit down to think about,

whether I want to become a parent or not. Like, I do it pretty often where I sit down, like, all jokes aside, I clear my mind. And I'm like, am I capable of doing this? Am I capable of being a parent? I'm capable of being strong enough to be like, because your child is going to go through hardships, you know? That is a part of existing. Yeah, you're basically creating a person to, you're basically creating a person to suffer.

To suffer, yeah. To suffer, you know. And I have to like really look in myself and be like, what you be able to do things? Can you deal with knowing that your kid will go to school and be made fun of? for things that they can't control or things they don't understand or there are people that might be able to harm you

and it scares me because it fills in with such a wild amount of anger like a amount of anger that I'm not like I'm not an angry person at all like I'm not angry you know and I'm like I don't know if I can deal with that like I don't know if I can deal with my kid coming back saying the kid's bullying them you know

like I think about that I'm like I'm not gonna let's go beat up this kid let's go beat up this kid imagine a person hurts my child you know like I'm gonna be like I I will kill you. I'll have to have to I have to not immediately go buy a gun and wait outside this guy's house

for hours to they go out to go shopping and then hurt them. So I'm like, I don't know, it just makes me feel insane. Yeah. Just waiting across the street behind a car for hours. They get outside and I just let them have it. It's insane, dude.

And then imagine trying to do that and being called a villain for doing that. That's where it's even more wild. Your villain. nice for wanting to protect your children. It's, this world is insane, dude, and I have not a person to say it all the time, but it's really,

we live in such a wild version of reality that it's just like, I need a breather every now and that, because it's just madness. Yeah, it really is. It really is crazy. Like, I don't know. Like, I get, you know,

I mean, like I said, like a lot of these shows did like they were geared towards you know victorious especially um is is is very like for a kid show it's it's pretty adult oriented

you know like even Drake and Josh was some ways adult oriented like I remember seeing I remember seeing stuff on Drake and Josh where I was like Drake is just making out with these women with no and it's and it's just like is this a kid show I don't understand what's going on but

I don't even think that's like that's not even the problem the problem is it's just like how do you have that many how do you have a I'll put it this way how do you have a set full of adults watching people squirt lotion in the faces of

teenage girls and no one that's strange no one kind of was like look I don't like that. Adult jokes are fine. Like, there's nothing wrong with an adult joke snuck into kids' TV.

But, like, this isn't even subtle. There's not even any... There's no room for interpretation here. This is just straight up what it is. And everybody knows it. Because how could you not? I don't think, like, my brain's tainted. I think it's just obviously, like, I mean, dude, like...

I don't know. It's... I don't know. It's a wild fucking experience watching that documentary. No one says anything about it. I would have been like, this is insane. I was laughing really. I was laughing really hard though because Cousin Skeeter came up. I don't remember how. It was like a very loose tangential kind of thing. I think I think the pedophile also might have worked there. But there was no stories from Cousin Skeeter. I think he was probably just like he just wasn't interested in the black kids. And so there, so no one no one had anything to say.

yeah right sometimes sometimes racism comes in handy sometimes it's a shield bro i'm i'm saying sometimes it's a fucking it's a garb man because i gotta say like like pretty much everybody all the all the all the victims in this in this scenario they were they they they did happen to be the the palest motherfuggers like it's sorry it's sad it's sorry but it's sorry but to the point where they like they did kind of they did kind of go into like certain other I don't know it's it's somewhat unfocused

because there's some parts of documentary where I feel like I don't know if this is like I don't know if this part is necessarily right now with Ram Trucks declaration of deals well qualified current FCA lessees get a low mileage lease on the 2026 RAM 1500 Big Horn crew cab 4 by 4

to paint a larger picture, but like, you know what it is? It's like the Halo show. Where like the world is ending, but also there's like a political squabble on this planet. And it's like... That's not the point. I understand that there's a political squabble,

but like there's kind of like rampant pedophiles running around. Like there's one part where there's like two female writers shared a salary. They basically got two writers for the price of one. But like that's not... Yeah, that's one fair. I don't know if you know any writers. but like that's not necessarily like the most uncommon like especially if like

I know for like I know some writers who like their first time in the industry like if it's like their first go like they will sometimes share a say like it's not cool it's not good but like they'll share a salary with another first time writer for the price of one as a way to like that's insane that's your brought up but yeah it is it is insane it's the most evil thing

it is crazy but like there's a pedophile running around so like I don't I with all due respect I don't care that you're not really making as much money as you wanted to make with all due respect. I wouldn't say I don't care, but I was like, hey, look, we'll get to you after, right after this. Yeah.

We don't care. Like, right after the bigger problem. You know, like, you know, like, your first problem is get out the cave. Then you worry about getting sent to eat, you know? That is your, that is, that is, as soon as we get out this cave, I got you. But right now, like, you know. Let's get out this cave, you know. Then we'll worry about.

Exactly. The stuff. That's what you got to say it. Don't say I can. I don't care. Because that makes it seem so much worse. Well, you know what I mean, though. Like, in comparison, it's just like, the level of severity here is just like, I mean, dude, we got to.

We got to allocate some resources here. And I feel like, I remember, like, there was points where the documentary was dragging a little bit because they were focusing on this. And I really hope this isn't it. because this is not this is not it's not good but it's not even a fraction as

it just doesn't even come close to even some of the stuff that I've seen in like YouTube videos I'm at Nickelodeon like oh they share they hire writers

at a split salary it's like okay it's even crazy that they can do that but you can do that is insane yeah I mean should you experience

being a creative in the world is insane they try to fuck you every way you can yeah on one hand art that it has never got paid for pieces they did. It's never got paid for them. Oh yeah, I don't like it.

I don't like this piece. After they spend weeks making it, it's like, really? I know at least one rider who did that, who shared their salary. I know at least one. Same. So it wasn't that, and he was a guy too. So it wasn't like a, I don't think it's necessary. They were kind of framing it as like a gender discrimination thing.

I don't know. I mean, it could be. Like, in that case, it might be. But I also know that that is like a, that is a practice that has happened. I mean, the likelihood might be brought up more often for women. That might be what it is. Oh, yeah, for sure.

Probably. That's probably the thing. But then it goes from that. It goes from that and then it cuts from that to like Brian Peck got letters from John Wayne Gacy. So he got letters from John Wayne Gacy and everybody knew about it. No one said anything. It's like, what the fuck?

Okay. All right. One of these things is not like the other. That is such an alarming red flag. That is such a powerful red. That's like the moment where Spider-Man Spider-Sy sense goes off and he's like, ah, this is something wrong with this person. That is a, that is a crimson tarp.

That is, that is beyond a red flag, really. Like that is, that is so not good. That's fire. That's when, that's, I'm laughing because I'm, I'm nervous. Like this, I'm not laughing because I think that's funny at all. I'm laughing because I'm, I'm, I'm nerved. That's, you just started the tutorial and your screen is getting redder and redder.

Before you've even seen anything. It's like, oh, huh? John Wayne Gat. Why is John Wayne Gacy connected to this at all? When you said his name, I was like, what? Yeah, no. It flummoxed me, man. Like, I lied down on the ground and stared because I was just like, you've got to be joking.

But anyway, quiet on set is crazy. I highly recommend people watch it. We've talked a lot about what they go into here, but there's so much more that I didn't get into. And it loses a lot of the heft when I'm just talking about it. You really have to see it to really get the full brunt of, like, what all this is. And I do think it deserves to be seen. I think Nickelodeon has a lot to answer for. We were talking a little bit before about whether or not we feel like this is like the end of Nickelodeon.

I don't think so. I think we're living in like a post-Trump world where you can kind of say anything and get away with anything as long as you just continue to not care. So like I just

I don't really see this being like a long term I think a lot of their stars might Exodus or like might leave but I do think like there's a level of like on the animation side I'm sure the animation side of Nickelodeon's like well we don't have anything to do with this

so Like, they had, and to be fair, the animation side of Nickelodeon has had his own fair share of controversy too. Like they had John Kay, the creator of Renan Stimpy was fucking crazy. But that was a while ago. That's a long, long time ago. Everything you hear about Nickelodeon from the animation side post John Kay is pretty positive. Like, Stephen Hillenberg was, by all accounts, like a great person. And Jordan Vasquez was like a fucking, joining Vasquez was a freak, but he's like not like an evil dude.

So, like, yeah, I don't know. I don't know what happens from here on out, but like, I'm really fucking fascinated by what's going to happen with all these, like, reboots and stuff. Because I know, like, Harley is. I want a Disney one, too. Like, because you know this, dude, they've been doing live action stuff for way longer, I feel like. Right? About the same time. About the same time.

Why do I feel like they've been doing it? You know what it is? It's the Disney Channel original movie thing that has me kind of. because I remember those earlier than than live action Nick shows true but I could be wrong um manda manda manda manda manda manna manna

I really hope she's okay she's somebody that I her and Ariana Grande to rough spirit man 10 it's weird to me that Ariana Grande has not sent it like like I don't know part of the wonders actually

like because Sam's like what is Jeanette McCurdy talks about man, I would really love to get Jeanette McCready on the show. Not just for like the joke reasons where like we've talked in the past about like having crushes on her or whatever. Like I mean like genuinely like I would love to interview this person because she talks about having been offered basically hush money from Nickelodeon. She talks about being offered $300,000 if she was to, you know, move on and not say anything bad about the creator who everybody's kind of assumed is Dan Schneider or talking about her experiences on the show. So part of me does wonder, man, like, Ariana Grande is like one of the biggest pop stars in the world

hasn't said anything. It begs a question. I feel like, because you could, because you could very likely, could not say that she hasn't been, could this work there and then left. Got there, did you or got out of it?

Right. But there's so much. But like the likelihoods had seemed so low. There's so many videos of Ariana Grande specifically. doing strange fetish shit like sucking on our own toes and like squirting water over herself and fucking like

squeezing it's it would be impossible for me to believe that Ariana Grande doesn't look back at that with some understanding that that wasn't okay and it's Was Ariana Grande already an adult already by then?

I mean no I don't think so I think they're all like maybe 16 17 maybe max because by the time it came out I'm pretty sure they were all my age and I was about I was about 15 I was not about about about about when I was like 16 I think she's 30 years old now he's only 30 she's our age she's she's she's my age oh god yeah so no no no no no no no way no way in hell when was victorious uh 2011 or 2010 victorious um first episode episode episode date. 2010. So that's... Absolutely not.

Yeah. Absolutely not. I'm in... I'm... That's me. That's my junior year in high school. At oldest... No, it's my senior year.

It's my senior year. At oldest, she was 16, 17. Yeah. I mean, she could be 18, but still. That's still kind of... Look, it's not that you're not an adult, right? It's not that you can't, like, it's not that, like, I get it. But, like, it's just weird to me that she hasn't said anything.

And it kind of begs the question to me where it's like, if Jeanette McCurdy was offered hush money, Ariana Grande was certainly offered hush money. And so to me, it's weird. It's weird that she ends up becoming, like, this massive pop star and then just says nothing about any of this when it's like obviously the talk of the town. And it is obviously Right now with Ram trucks declaration of deals Well qualified current FCA lessees Get a low mileage lease on the 2026 RAM 1500 Big Horn crew cab

I don't know, man. It's bizarre. It's bizarre as fuck. I think there's something up there, personally. But that's all speculation on my behalf.

I can't prove any of that shit. I would never even necessarily claim that it's true. But it feels like a very plausible... It's the... It's the simplest explanation. Because if I'm like one of the most famous pop stars in the world, I'm not worried about Like I'm not worried about like what the fuck I'm gonna say about like some old show that I used to work on

That like I might owe some level of like loyalty to but like at the end of the day if it's pedophiles and shit working on it and it's like fucking abuse and all this stuff like why would I not like what what would really prevent me from saying anything I fucking wanted to And by the way what would prevent me from saying anything that I wanted to and being praised for it like no one would be like fuck Ariana Grande for like talking about how shitty Dan Schneider is or like how shitty the experience was working on Nickelodeon in response to all of this crazy shit. Like there's no social cost to it at all. There's in fact only a social, there's in fact only a social benefit to it, which is like a shitty way to think about it. But like truthfully, like I mean, there's no reason why you wouldn't say anything about it unless in my opinion. Unless you got, you either signed a contract that was very, very legally binding. or you accepted hush money that has certain stipulations applied to it.

And that might be conspiratorial. Or you could truly be trying to leave that part of your life behind. Yeah, maybe. I mean, that's also valid too. But like, I don't know, even just a vague, like, I don't even think you have to say anything about it. But you could just do like the standard kind of. address it without addressing it? Like even if she just tweeted,

even if she just tweeted like not surprised with no context. I just, I think, I think it's just simply like, either she took some sort of money or she wants nothing to do with it.

Am I crazy though for thinking that it's plausible that she took money? Not that it's true, but it's, it feels very, very positive money. They very likely to order her money as well because they were on the same show together.

you know. Yeah, and she was like the bigger star. So like there's no, I don't know. Like it doesn't, it doesn't track to me like logically. Like it makes no sense for that not to be at least on the table. Maybe she turned it down because she didn't need it. Granted, I hope that's not the case. Yeah.

I hope she made it through that, that fire scot-free without any sort of bruises or anything. But at the same time, real is real. When she was working, you got to be, you got to tell the truth, man. Like, hey, very likely she could have ran into some really unsavory shit while she was there. and it sucks because no one deserves some wild shit like that at all. Yeah.

Anyway. That's quite on set. Not particularly funny, but wild. And I don't think there was really, I couldn't think of anything else to talk about really. Like there's nothing really happening. That had to be spoken about considering everything that went on.

You got to bring that shit up, you know. You got to bring that shit up, you know. Yeah. And it's still kind of. of ongoing. I know Dan Schneider gave like some interview with, he gave like a 20 minute interview with, um, with, uh, what's his face? Um, oh my God, the guy, the guy on I Carly who had the donuts on the stick. A lotso? Is that him? A flato? A flato? I don't know. I, I, I, lotso and flotzo.

There's no way that's his name. I forgot his name. Um, he, he was the black guy. Yeah. His name's Lato? Something like that. I think Lato might be like a teddy bear from what you call. I might be wrong. Toy Story. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know this guy's name.

But he gave an interview in response to it, basically. And I watched all of it. I watched all 20 minutes because I was really curious as to what he would have to say about it. And I really, like I said, like I was watching it, I was like, I really don't know what to make of this guy. I really don't know what to make of this guy at all. His aura is all wrong. His aura is all wrong. Yeah, I don't know.

He looks like a hut. I like it. He looks like a hut. Yeah, I don't know. Because on one, on one hand, it must really suck. Like, let's say, for example, like, let's imagine,

let's say for the sake of argument, very little of what people have to say about Dan Schneider is true. Because that has happened. You know what I mean? Some of it is true. Like that has happened before. Like people have like lied exponentially like exponentially about like celebrities and famous

figures. Like that has happened. So part of me is looking at it was just like man, like imagine you are Dan Schneider and you genuinely. Think of it like this though, Chris. Let me give you another example. Yeah. There's no way someone can lie about something like that involving me and it could have any

strength behind it. Well, no, you're, you're talking about. Totally right. I guess the thing that fucks me up about it is the thing that fucks me up about it. Do you're, 100%. Yeah. You can't do that for me. Where there's smoke, there's fire. There's often fire, you know? 100%. But I come at this from the perspective of having been like, like, dude, I've had people call me a literal Nazi for years. And people believe that unquestioningly. And there's like really nothing I can do to convince people otherwise. I don't really care to do that because like, you know, it doesn't really matter to me.

but like I've seen it and so to me it's like what really fucks me up about it is Drake Bell because Drake Bell talks like he was like the biggest victim in all this or like at least until we know anything about Amanda and from his account

after talking about all this stuff he really talks about how Dan was there to like help him and so that kind of fucks me up a little bit where it's like, man, that sucks. So my read on Dan Schneider is that like, you are creepy. Your brain is existing in two different places involving him right now.

You're like, this guy is sketching me out, but also at the same time, he's been a hero to so many people. But this guy sketches me the fuck out. He's been a villain to people, he's been a villain to people too. So, like, I guess for me, my read on Dan Schneider is like,

I would never trust you. And I would never, I don't know. I would never want to hang around Dan Schneider. but... Yeah, that's a very safe thing. I thought that's super safe. Yeah, that's a very safe thing.

But at the same time, it's hard not to... It's hard to watch Drake Bell talk about all this and not feel like somewhat appreciative that he had somebody there to go to bat for him in that fucking situation. So like, I don't know. Humanity is a tapestry of complexity. I get it. There's very few people who are pure evil and pure, pure good, fair.

But like, generally speaking, Dan Schneider should probably never work in TV again because ultimately a lot of this shit just to be safe. Just to be safe. Like go go live your life. Go fucking, I don't know what

I don't know what it is. He's made a ton of money too. He's made a ton of money. I don't know what the hell he's doing now. Like just chill, retire, fucking exist. But never work in kids TV again

because like you. He's made a bunch of money by now. There's a lot. He must have made a lot of money. He must have made a lot of money. Right. Go take an app. Go take an app.

You made a bunch. Yeah, ultimately, like, he just should never be around. Like, the environment that he fostered there was so fucking crazy. The fact that... I'll put it this way. The fact that somebody... The fact that most people understood that this guy had a fucking signed letters from John Wayne Gacy and no one said anything about it.

Or that didn't, like, raise, like, red flags or concerns. Oh, that's Peck. That's not Snyder. No, no, no. I should clarify. I should clarify... Brian Peck is the guy who had the... the letters, but he was working under Dan Schneider.

And like, this couldn't have been like, dude, I, I, I am adjacent to the entertainment business, okay? Like, we know, we, we both know people who are in this space. No shot that in a pre, pre-social media world, a story like that doesn't come up. Like, there's no shot. There's no shot. There's no shot that you don't go to like a party at somebody's house and I was like, yeah, I got these letters from John Wayne Gacy.

And that doesn't make its way back to the entire staff on some level. No shot. When you're not distracted by Twitter and like fucking all this other shit, that's all that happened that week, probably. You have to tell somebody about that shit. We still don't have to tell you about it. Like, guys. Yeah, did you hear about this guy? He's got like, like, fucking letters from John Wayne Gacy and he showed them to everybody.

Isn't that weird? Did you all see that? Did you all see that? I don't know. That's mad. You know what I equate it to? I equate Dan Schneider's evil less in an active capacity, but more like, more like in the way that it's evil to neglect a child. You know what I mean? Like to, to like, you have a kid, you don't have to beat him.

You don't have to like verbally abuse him. But you can neglect, you can neglect a person to the point where it's abuse. and I think that's kind of that is the kind of evil that I think Dan Schneider is ultimately He's been he's neglected evil He's a neglective evil where like he's like And also to be fair like

There's no evidence that he's a pedophile But like ah He just He walks in a room And the room's energy changes you know I feel you I don't know There's some videos

There's videos of him You know Playing around with the They're not the most savory-looking videos. And they're not the most safe. I wouldn't make those videos personally. So, like, I don't really understand the mindset of someone who would. But, like, regardless.

What is it? Aiming my empathy in the right ways. You know what I mean? I really hope that there's nothing further going on at tuition. Yeah, I hope that there's nothing else. I hope for everybody's sake this is it. We know that it isn't it, though, because we know that. Of course not.

Amanda Bynes. Dude, Amanda Bynes could blow this shit all open, man. Amanda Binds could blow all of this shit away. And the problem she's went through it is her life? Oh, God, that'll, that'll be nuclear. I want to get Lindsay's too, dude. I want Disney's. Disney's would be so juicy.

It would be so, they'd probably kill the person before they, like, I feel like Disney would have them shot and kill. Like that Boeing guy? That shit out. Huh? You hear about the Boeing guy? The Exist. Which one?

The Boeing was a boy? Like, you seriously died. Oh yeah. I got to put the sleep. Yeah. He told his wife, he told his wife, like, look, Listen, they're probably going to say that I killed myself. I did not.

Do not believe that shit. And then he killed himself and it's like, whoa. Okay. They're probably going to say I killed myself. I absolutely did not. I'm too scared to do that. Yeah. So, I don't know.

Everybody watched Quiet on set. Fuck Dan Schneider. Ultimately, at the end of the day. I'm trying to be like as empathetic of a human being. as possible, but I can't get myself to not say fuck Dan Schneider because it's just so obvious. Like, I don't know how you, I don't know how you put so many people in that position. But, uh, yeah, let's, let's, let's, let's get on some questions from our audience over at Patreon.com slash the snark tank.

We've got Simp, uh, Lord Supreme, Rodin. He says, not a question, but I'm a long time listener. I've just woken up from a fever dream in which Sweeney laughed so hard that he died in the middle of an episode. Derek and Chris continued on without much care and uploaded the episode as it was. I awakened from this laughing hysterically and immediately decided to give you money to tell you

this. That's all I really have to say, take care. That's crazy. If one of us died mid-episode, I don't think we would post it, but I would render it. I think it would be way like, I think it would be funny for a moment. I would render the episode for sure

It'd be a moment of real comedy Maybe we'd like laugh about it And then like it'd be like Oh that person's dead We would laugh about it years later I think I think because it is objectively funny And statistically like A afterlife moment where you're like

Where you guys all meet up after everybody's dead And be like That was fucking funny guys Given the amount of podcasts that I do It's not even necessarily statistically unlikely That I might That you died during a podcast Yeah

because it's kind of, it's not like a sizable percentage of my time, but it's not a negligible percentage. Like it's, we do sacred symbols four hours, four hours plus. Yeah, but look, guys,

sometimes. That was kind of funny. Then we do two hours of snart tank. Then we do two hours. Yeah, we do four hours of a start tank a week. Plus the extra ammo is nine hours. Nine hours a week.

It's not nothing. That'd be funny. It's actually sometimes more. It's actually like sometimes 12 or 13. So like, it's a portion it's a it's a it's a sizable portion

I don't know I don't know percentage math in my head all that well but like that's how many hours you said about what is the max hours

13 13 out of 13 hours out of a week what is 72 hours 72 hours is it 72 hours no it's not 72 hours 24 24 24

doesn't make sense 24 so you sorry it's 72 weeks and is it 72 weeks in the year is that what it was No, it's 52 weeks in a year I'm thinking 52 instead of 72 My brain's wrong

Okay, so 2448 48, 48 times 2 is There's 168 hours There's 168 hours in a week There's a hundred and 68 hours in a week So So 13 out of that It's about near like 9, 10%

It's a lot It's a lot Yeah man 10% of year week is podcasting man I mean you might die You might die live It's yeah Dying live sounds

funny as fuck. It sounds funny until it happens. The idea of somebody tripping, let me prefer this, the other than somebody tripping during a live stream and blowing their own brains out with a shotgun that's kind of wild. Like during live show,

everybody just watching that happen. Like, whoa. Yeah, I mean, yeah, wild is, is. I show speed really had a cute, that was quick, that was quick speed. Now, the question is, boom. And the question is,

if you do you think dan schneider could win in in like if you threw him in like a like a coliseum with with other pedophiles do you think he do you think he has the gumption to survive canonically who's the most powerful pedophile we've ever seen that's a good question like canonically who is the most deviously powerful pedophile i mean it's debatable but michael jackson so that's such a faulty one you know because like yeah i well I mean, nobody knows. This does make sense. This also doesn't make sense.

I don't know. So that's a really weird one, right? Because I choose, I hope it's, I hope, I'm in the very middle where I hope it's true and it's not true. Because I hope it's not true. Obviously, he's a person I really love their music and that I'd hate to have his idea be, like his history be spoiled like that. But I hope it's true because if it's not true, those people just lied and tried to terminate this innocent man for no reason. And that is heinous.

That is the most hate. He's like, oh, this guy is innocent and he's, he has a lot of childlike faults. We could use that to make money. That's, I don't know. Part of me does feel, part of me does feel like a lot of the Michael Jackson stuff is kind of cope. Like, there's no chance. Like, I really don't think there's any shot that he wasn't a pedophile.

Like, it just doesn't, it doesn't make sense today. I think 100% he had. He, he, I think I, it, at worst for me, like, maybe that he, he was genuinely a, a man child. Generally a man child. And there was still inappropriateness, but it wasn't, it wasn't sexual at all aimed towards them. It was just inappropriate behavior between an adult and an underage people. I think that's the best I can hope for. Yeah, I, uh, I don't know.

I, I think. But because there's, because there's so many people. that are like, the cases, you've seen all the fucking bullshit. It's so heavily conflicted. There's way too much confliction on that. It's like to the point that as a case, they had to throw it out because of how much conflicting shit there is. Yeah, but there's, there's, I don't know, there's conviction. There's confliction about Dan Schneider, too, based on like Drake Bell's testimony and certain other testimonies where it's like, I don't know if, I don't know if confliction is enough to.

That's true. That's true. I don't know if there's, I don't know if there's, I don't know if there's, assuage the concerns. You know what I mean? Because, like, it's funny because Dan Schneider's like, Dan Schneider's like really implicated on vibes alone. Like, like, purely just, just on vibes alone. Like, I will say that before I knew anything about Dan Schneider, I saw a picture of him,

I was like, that's a, it's so mean to say. But like he just looks. That's horrible. I know, but like he, dude, like look up Dan Schneider. Like he looks, he just, he's got the pedophile armor equipped. Don't, oh, don't drag us down with you. No, that's not okay. I've never, I, I, no.

I can say honestly, you honestly do. Really? I don't. I don't. I look at him. I'm like, that guy looks odd, but that's about it.

I don't think, oh, that guy's a pedophile. I don't think that. My brain doesn't go there. I'm not saying that I'm not saying that I thought he was necessarily from vibes alone, but I will say, I don't know.

It's like how when you, you ever see like a face in the dark in like a shadow? You know what I mean? Like we're like, yeah. I get scared because I don't know what it is. is, but then I see the face and I'm like, all right, right. Right.

But like most people don't trigger the reaction, like most people don't trigger the reaction of a face of the shadows. You know what I mean? So like when you see somebody, do you know what I'm saying? Do you know what I'm saying? Stop, dude. For somebody to automatically trigger the face in their shadows response in broad daylight. I know you don't mean this.

I know you don't mean this. You're just scared. You're scared. And you're what happens is your fear response is taking. over because you see someone that looks bad to you, right? But the thing is that I don't do that. I don't look at something and think you're the, I think that you may look more like that than someone else does,

but that doesn't mean, I think you're that. What do you mean? When you look at somebody and be like, oh, that person looks more like they like this. They look more like somebody that would like this. I just, I just, I just mean like, I just mean like, and look, I understand this is not cool to say, I get it. I understand. But if you were to place bets on people, in that scenario, if you were to place bets on a pedo pool, like, who is most likely, I feel like a lot of people would just base on picture alone.

I feel like people would make that bet. I'm not saying it's right or wrong. I'm just saying like it's interesting for someone to have. That immediate, just to be clocked on vibes alone, it's just fascinating to me. Anyway, let's move on. Oh, man, I don't think I'm wrong, by the way. Chris getting sent rose to my Derek and Sweeney running. He says, hey, my little suck boys, ever heard of the movie Sukiyaki Western Django?

It's a Wild West movie from Japan with Quentin Tarantino having a cameo role in it. I have never heard of this in my fucking life. Sukiyaki Western Django Tarantino. Tarentino and Suquist. Quintang Tarantino. It's a Japanese movie?

That's so weird. Is he speaking Japanese? He probably says the N-word. If I come to say the under real quick, I'm going to go. Have a good night. The comments are all. I love how Quentin Tarantino is the only white guy

in a Japanese movie with a cast of Japanese people. And he's the only one who speaks Japanese in it. That's crazy. That's awesome. Quint Tarantino is so weird. Like, he's such a, he's such a, I feel like Quentin Tarantino is so clearly,

like. Neurodivergent. He's very much more than a good word. Yeah, that's a better way to say it. He's 100% neurodivergent. Like, like looking at that guy, like, yeah, that guy, how'd I, let me see this the nicest way possible. If you

If you reorganized his furniture and his house, he would sell and buy a new house. He would sell his house and buy a brand new house. I think so, yeah. I mean, I would do that too. He could not live in that rearranged house. He couldn't. I don't think I don't think I don't think that's necessarily like,

I can't be here. I would just put my stuff back. No, but it's different. No, because you didn't move it to where it, where it is now. So like moving it back is like it's not even really yours anymore. Yeah. You see. Look, you see you and Krista, you have something on common. You know what's not uncommon. Because I would just, I would be like, that's weird. As long as it wasn't an entity, I'd be able to put it back. You know, it's crazy? You know what's crazy? Actually, I didn't notice this until recently, uh, because I've had,

um, ever since I've lived on my own, I've had guests kind of periodically stay for a while. And I have notebooks and like sketchpads and stuff and somebody drew in one of my notebooks or somebody wrote something in one of my notebooks and I I stopped using it. Like I bought a new notebook because all of the pages were in my handwriting except that page and I was like I can't. I can't continue this. Like I need a new notebook.

And I was like, oh, that might be something. I'm not going to make fun of people like you because you guys. are the backbone of our country. Yeah, I bet garbage men are, I bet every single garbage person is like that. I would, I would wade your money. Like they can move people's garbage. You've moved their garbage. It's over.

It's fucking up. They're losing their minds. Yeah. I'm fine with, I think it was garbage. I can't sleep. You've moved my garbage. You reorganize my house.

Why would you do that? Why would you do that? Let me know if that's normal in the chat. If any of you also abandoned notebooks of other people writing them. You're asking our chat. You're asking our thing. Unless the express purpose is a collaborative effort. If it's like inherently like kind of like a whatever notebook, I don't mind it.

But if it's my notebook, dude, if it's my sketchpad, I can't. And I understand some of you will be like, well, you could just rip the pages out. But then that's like an incomplete. That's like an incomplete notebook then. I might as well get a new. You are, you are, you are very much so selling this, uh, this. Does that not make sense? You're selling this, uh, this form of yourself very much so.

Well, your wife makes piss. Let's move on. That was just a mean That was just a mean parting shot That was just I'm a hurt I want to hurt you back That's all that was Yeah my feelings are devastated

Yeah Your wife drinks pee Yeah Yeah Yeah fucking owned loser Papa Jesus He says What's good my boys

I'm sure at least one of you Saw the right wing freak out Over Sidney's tits And how it was the death of woke And other stupid shit like this What is the most inane Insignificant thing You've seen

Turned into some kind of political talking point This is definitely one of them. This is probably it. I think this is probably it, honestly. Because it's literally just a woman's tits. Right now with Ram Trucks Declaration of Deals, Well-qualified current FCA lessees,

Oh, you know what, actually?

She's come so far based on just her breast, man. I'm proud of her. Yeah, I mean, I'm proud to see what I do that, man. I'm good. Good for y'all, dude. Make your money. Can fig. Make these idiots pay you for having breasts.

man. Like, just do you think. She's really a mid-act. I've been watching her. I think she did good in Euphoria because those roles were just well-written roles. But I... Well, that's everything, though. She was very able to play, like, the teenage girl that was having a fucking meltdown

because she was trying to get this boy that fucking hated her. But, like... I don't know. I think... I watched her another movie and it was really mid. It was really mid. I don't know if I buy that. Because the...

Not that... what you're saying is true. I just think that I think it's a lot. So here's what I, here's what I'll say. The fact that she's good in euphoria is proof that she is a good actor. Because like there's no, you can't pull a great performance out of an actor who is bad,

but you can pull really bad performances out of actors who are good. And that is the job of the director. I agree and I agree. I agree and disagree. What do you mean? I think that I think that some people have aptitudes built for, some people are built. with certain apps where you can play certain things.

Like, I think genuinely some people are meant to be funny actors, you know? Some funny actors have certain roles that can play that are serious. Some actors are meant to play roles that are not as serious, you know? Like, it just depends on what your forte is. Yeah.

Like Jack Black, I don't think Jack Black could be in a very serious, serious drama movie. I think he is, in fact, a great actor. I don't think he'd be in a very serious drama movie. But then there's certain actors like, you probably might have not heard of him. does actor coach Sterling K. Brown. He's from Black Panther.

He was in this. He can play any role, period. You can give him anything. He can be it all, you know, and that's the kind of, some people are like that. He's like a Lansoretic type where like he could. Yeah, Lance, literally. Lentz can be anyone. You put Lance anywhere.

You can put Steve David anywhere, too. There's some actors that you can put in any kind of role and they will succeed in any kind of role. I don't think Sidney is capable of that. Granted, that doesn't mean she's a bad actress. I'll take that back from what I said. That's what I mean.

That's what I mean. Because like I said, like you said, like Jack Black is a great actor, but yeah, he couldn't be... You couldn't put... Some people are just all-star.

Some people can just play anything, you know? And that's not everybody. Like Kristen Bale, Christian Bale could be in any sort of acting rule. Same thing with like Robert Patterson as well. You can put those motherfuckers in anything and they'll thrive in it. They'll just be like,

I can do this. Yeah. But some people can't. Usually they're women. Just saying that. Ricky Jervais can't. I've seen. Rik Jervais can't be in anything anymore.

He needs to shut up for a long time. He can't be a serious actor. He has some of these shows that like try to be a little bit more serious and they're just like this. It doesn't work. But yeah, no, I know what you mean. Once I'm going to do. There's a show I watched recently called This Is Us. It is a drama show about a family.

Please everybody watch it. That show, no show has made me feel the way that show has. Like, I think there's more exciting shows. There's more, the show that's like that are more exciting, shows that are more like really triumphant to watch. But that show made me feel harder than any show I've watched in my life. To the point that I finished it and I feel sad that I'm done watching it. Not because it was such an great experience because I just love the character so hard. It is heart-wrenching, finishing.

finishing that show. I cried like four times, like sob for real and went to bed because of how fucking in just visceral in it. Everybody should watch it. You're not selling me on this. You should watch. It's really good. It's such a loving series, dude.

It's such a love-filled series. I think it would be good for you to watch that show, actually. I think it would be good for your heart. Actually, I think it would. I don't need to cry. really it's not crying because you're sad it's crying because of how beautiful it is yeah I don't know anyway I'm saying man you should watch it it's really good maybe maybe in a couple years

maybe in a few decades I'll give it a try yeah maybe in a few years but he said but yeah like I don't know like I don't know Citi Sweeney's range I think she was great in euphoria I think she's she's a good idea I don't know if I know if she's got like a ton of range necessarily but I don't think that makes her a bad actress but as far as like I did want to say like what he brought up Sidney's Tits is like like that weird kind of right wing thing where it's like oh look and she's hot and she's successful and everybody likes it and look at that it's it's a

death knell to woke and it's like I don't know man like I'm I think you're doing a little bit I am I am liberal as fuck and I admire a nice pair of tits I have no problem I'm so I don't get it but like there there is one thing that I've seen that kind of blew my mind lately which is like there's a politicization going on with um architecture I don't know if you've seen this so and to be fair I understand what the point is I just think people are going like really overboard with it where it's like they're comparing a lot of buildings from you know the 1920s and the 1930s and and you know like the 1800s and they're comparing them to modern day buildings. And there's all this conversation going around. It's like, man, architecture used to be so

beautiful and so like, you know, we put a lot of love and care into the artistry of these buildings because they were a reflection of us as a society. And, you know, we used to take pride in that. And we used to, it used to give us, like, aspirations. And they're, they're making buildings big glass boxes on purpose to crush the human spirit so that you're depressed and, you know, it's like, I don't know, it's getting weirdly political. And I did want to bring this up because I understand, like, I don't, I don't disagree that having nice architecture, like what we used to have, is generally, like, a positive thing for us, like mentally and socially.

Like, I do think that is a, I do think that reflected itself. in a positive way. And I do think there is a degree of sadness to see cities kind of becoming copy-pasted mecas of big glass boxes. That is sad. And it is way more depressing than having like really,

really nice buildings that are like in and of themselves works of art. But the idea that being done... But can I say... Hold on. But the idea that this is being done purposefully to whittle down like the human spirit and not just because,

hey, it's cheaper and more efficient to just build a big box than it is to spend an insane amount of money designing the most beautiful building you've ever seen just so it can become a train station. Like the idea that this is anything other than just cost and money is fucking bat shit insane. It's cost money and it's just natural evolution. Like that is how that's how every, like obviously once upon a time we built very much so. the early parts of our design culture were very European, you know, very Victorian still because we were British, you know,

so that's when you go to the East Coast, particularly, because these people probably have never left America because they don't, they don't know what they're talking about. So if you go to the East Coast, I've been to London. Yes, the buildings look like London's buildings.

Just they're taller. They're much higher up than they are in London. When you move further, inland and over here you meet more architecture that's mixed with people that were the natives of maybe probably Mexico or people that were the French that have desired if you go to New Orleans you know it's a bunch of mixing the things I think modern

architecture all over the world is more of the giant tie up a more open line because it makes you feel like you're outside even though you're inside of a place that's why Dubai's architectures like that so it's an Italy is like that architecture in fucking France and London. They all of them shared that kind of idea

because it's the nature of just evolving because more cultures interact with each other than you want to see more. You know, there's more higher up buildings and like obviously a high up view is always a very expensive, like very drawn thing. So it's just, that's so stupid. Granted, I understand

that yeah, you know, like Victorian some buildings in New York with the gargoyles and stuff like that looks sick. They look really, really, really cool. because of the aesthetic they're displaying. But like, that isn't, it isn't political. It isn't breaking the spirit.

Right. First of all, an open building is more spirit enthralling, I think, than a fucking big old stone castle. Well, the idea, I think the idea that people have is like that it's all glass to kind of, to kind of convey the idea that you have no privacy. Which, I don't know. That's not really, I don't believe that. I think it really has everything to do with natural light and all that stuff. But I, but I, look, I don't. I don't necessarily deny, like, I do think there is a depressing aspect to going around and seeing like, oh, hey, this building exists in New York and in Cal and in LA and in fucking Austin because it's just like copy pasted architecture from all over the place. And there is like a degree of like, that's what you mean by that. That is kind of like every new, every, dude, I know. I know. But that's what I'm saying. It's like in a, we're, well, we're talking about this from the perspective of an American anyway. So like, and in, in the country, like, you. A lot of, and I'm sure you've seen this, a lot of like the luxury buildings that come up.

That there is like, no matter where you go, everything is kind of the same.

And it is kind of like samey. And there really is no hint of, um, uh, artistry or style in the same way that there used to be. I don't disagree that that is probably like, I don't think it's like a massive. I think ultimately the biggest massive contributing factor to the reason why everybody is sad is just the way that the world is. it's not necessarily the architecture. I think we'd be a lot happier with a happier world and the same architecture that we have now personally. But I do think it's like, yeah, it is depressing.

But the idea that it's depressing on purpose for that reason and not just because, look, it's just, we could spend 50 years building the most iconic looking library in the world. Or we could build a big box and fill it with books in 10 months. Yeah. For like a fraction of the cost. And that's what it is. I think ultimately what it is is like we don't really value,

we don't really value people enough to give them something beautiful for their community. I think that really is true. I don't think we value. I think you're hitting the nail in the head in a very harsh way that people don't like thinking about. Because they're too busy pissing and shit in over things that are way stupid than that. Yeah. So in some ways it's, it is accurate. Like they,

we are very uncared for it. And your mental well-being is not really important to people. but the depressive architecture is a side-effective, them not valuing you enough to put money into the community to build something that could potentially be inspiring or be something that could be looked upon as like a, you know, a totem of the community. I think that's really more of it as opposed to a direct,

like, let's make this building a box on purpose because it's depressing. Like, they wouldn't do that if it was more expensive. If it was less expensive to design like a Gothic cathedral, they would do that every time. and you'd probably get sick of seeing Gothic cathedrals but I will say man like some of those buildings in New York like the what is it the cathedral in New York is fucking gorgeous

even Grand Central Terminal I think they're gorgeous because gorgeous because Gordon Central Term was a beautiful cause that's Grand Central was different I think that's a different No but dude like I don't know there's something There's something about that every single time where you like go in there and like It's so fucking big and those big windows You look up and you see all the fucking

You see all the fucking astrology signs all of the stars all over the place I think that is I think Grand Sending Central's different, though. Because I don't think anywhere else in New York really looks that particularly great. They're just big buildings. Well, that's true now. I think the argument is that, like, there used to be places that were a lot more like that. Well, not when we were kids.

I feel like not many of them in our lifetime. Not in our lifetime, but, like, we, I've lived to see some of them go. Like, I've lived, like, there was a club that I used to go to that was built in, like, this old. And now it's like a fucking shaking. shack. And it's, it is, it is demoralizing to see that. Because it was like one of the more, it was one of the more memorable pieces of architecture that I can remember seeing in New York City. Because living in the Bronx, they were just buildings. They were just like drab colored. Oh, dude, we're not talking about the, you know, you know the color. The Bronx is ugly. The

bit, well, the Manhattan is like the same color. Except for like the middle, the middle is green. The middle of Manhattan is green. And then the bottom Manhattan has a little bit of blue. Yeah, still like every building is pretty much the same, like, drab brick that's been old, that's starting to turn a little gray, you know, the reddish, the grayish brick color. Then there's like the beige-ish color or like the just state of a great color of a building. And I just, I don't really feel like it was pretty. Right. Unless you're in the middle or you're near like, you were near somewhere that was pretty directly, you know. I always really like the aesthetic.

I like the brick and, and the brownstone. a lot. Like, when I was young, I really wanted to bring it. And still to this day, honestly, like, if they built like a modern brownstone, I would move into that thing so fucking quick. I love brownstone buildings and just like the,

the feeling the stoop. Like, there is something about that that is, that is like, it would be so nice to just come home and like, I don't even smoke, but like, you know, like just, I don't know, just to sit on the stoop and just like drink an ice coffee for a little bit. Or just anything. I miss my stoop from upstate New York.

I miss that shit, dude. Because I remember when it would snow. I would sit on my stoop and watch it snow and it was so fucking nice. Oh, dude. And I can't watch that shit at all here anymore. Like these are the moments, you know, like I don't often miss New York. I don't, right? But then we talk about these random moments about like being because, look, because upstate

where we lived was beautiful. It was a very beautiful place. It was just nothing to do. It could be. That's true. At times it was beautiful. Half the year it was really pretty. and then half of the year it was the worst,

the most depressing thing you've ever seen. Just dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead. No, no, it was only dead right before it got really pretty again, though. It was really dead before it got snow pretty again. Yeah, April, I think, April. It was really gross, though. April and September, I remember being particularly beautiful. And in winter, for the snow.

I love the snow-covered mountain. You remember the mountain? in front of my house? Yeah. That was, I mean, I love looking at that covered in snow. I like the winter when it snows, but the second it stops snowing, the snow becomes really shitty. It sucks. It's not even that it gets dirty like it doesn't have.

You ever seen a gray field, a whole gray field of death? Yeah. It loses so much of it when it's like, and then like, when, when it falls off the trees and then you say you just have like these like gross fucking dead sticks coming out of this white ground. Like, oh, man. When the, when the snow is still on the tree branches, it's, it's gorgeous. And then it, and then you're like, oh, no. I miss it, dude. I want to go back.

So I want to, now I want to go back to New York. Then I want to spend, I want to spend, I want to spend, I want to spend a winter in New York, but the winter New York sucks. It's really not that bad when you, when you, when you, you got to, you got to go to Chicago or like Minnesota or something. And then, and then you'll be like, you know what? It's not so bad. I'm going to Chicago this year, unfortunately. Are you going in the winter? Lily really wants to go

Lily really wants to go to Chicago Why does she want to go to Chicago? She's never been there The Bean You might see someone Someone get shot I guess Statistically But I mean

I've never once had a desire to go to Chicago Like I don't know what's there I don't know anybody who lives there I think Eddie Burbeck used to live there or something He's from there I think Yeah he's from I know he's from that state I don't know if he's, you know, from that city, but yeah. Anyway.

Yeah, let's move on. Comrade Common Balls. He wrote in, he says, Hello, Three Little Funny Men in My Cranium. What do you think future anthropologists would think of, would think if the only thing left of the internet was the Star Tank podcast in its entirety? I think they would have a confusing amount of usable historical context, given what this show is.

Because I do think we talk enough about things that are happening that I do think that there is... Like, you could glean historical value out of our podcast if it was the only... You wouldn't get a lot of it. You wouldn't be hearing about, like, the War of 1812 or, like, you know... Or, like, you know, any, like, real serious shit, especially about world history. but you would hear about you'd know about the assassination of Kennedy you would know about

the assassination of Shinsu Abe you would know about the fact that there was like a a children's television network that was infiltrated by fucking molesters like you would know you would know about elections you would know about only the

you would know about only the stuff you can make a joke out of but everything else would be really outside of your preview yeah like the serious shit that's just serious is you know You're like, what?

That happened? Yeah. Yeah. You wouldn't be able to put together a comprehensive history of the United States or anything. Like, you would just get really brief snippets. It's kind of like how I imagine some people feel whenever they see like those clips of like the Mexican weather women. Yep. You know, where they're just like, they're only really getting a fraction of what's.

Of the Mexican experience here. Yeah, yeah. like, oh, well, this is not what Mexico is. What are all the suffering? There's just these women with big boobies and big asses walking around telling you the news. But I'm pretty sure my cousins there are telling me it's horrible. This seems fantastic. If Mexico was like how it was on their weather channel, no one would leave.

It would be no reason. It would just be shared prosperity. It would be loving prosperity everywhere. That's it. Yeah, there would be. They would leave. They would be eradicated by the rest of the world because of how prosperous it would be. Other parts of the bird, we've got to take that from you guys.

You guys can't have that. That's not fair. It is what is. Shout out to Latin American news, bro. Shit's amazing. It is pretty wild. Pouring hot sauce on Derek's gave direct him. Jesus Christ.

He might be experiencing this as we speak in that ice cream truck. We got no idea. Poor guy. Don't know why they would have hot sauce on the ice cream truck, but like I think people are experimenting. Anyway, he wrote and he says, I know how you all feel about having fans on the podcast, and rightfully so. But I feel like the one exception should be the king of haphazard, especially since you've met him and can kind of sort of judge whether or not he's a psycho. I don't even know if he'd be interested, but I think he's the only one who truly deserves it. And if not, you can always have me on.

I'm cool, too. At least that's what my mom says. Thank you. I mean... So, you know how is his cool as fuck, actually. He's really nice. Yeah, that would be the most reasonable... That would really be the only caveat that we would make, I think, is somebody like that.

When we met him and I was like, hey, can I give you a hug, dude?

Like, you're awesome. Was that at the live show? The live show was an insane experience. That was first of all, that was an experience like no other. Like being a part of it was like just sheer insanity. Like walking around, talk, taking that many pictures. Like, it was just like, it felt like a moment of surrealness. you know, where it's like, dang, dude, people really do listen to us.

It's very sad. I was so sick. PMA Hazard's fucking awesome. You were fucked, dude. I was so mad that I was so sick. I was so furious. Because like... We had a rough day, granted, Chris, because we had to wake up earliest fuck in the morning.

We had to leave the fucking Airbnb that we were at. We had to get there. You had to get to the city. I remember you had to get to the city. You were already tired by the time you got there. And you were like, what's going on? I said, you can stay with me and Lily. you stayed with us, we stayed up and watch the back room compilations for like four hours.

And then we ate garbage. And then we had to get up in the morning. My stomach was just ruined. Like, I just, like, I'm like keeled over in pain at that live show. And you could see, like, if you watch it, like, both the sacred one and the snark tank one, I'm like, I'm really barely holding it again. I'm actually astounded that I made it through. It reminds me of that episode of, there's an episode, not that people would know. I only stumbled across this by sheer happenstance.

So, like, there's no reason why people should know this. There's an episode of the late show with Steve, not Steve Crowell. Who the fuck is, who the fuck is Stephen Colbert, where he's interviewing, where he's interviewing, Steve Plum. He's interviewing Bradley Cooper and his appendix explodes. And he still just. Yeah, Colbert. Like his appendix, like, exploded earlier that day. And he was just like, oh, man, I got to do the show.

So he's doing the show and he's fine. but like a week later he's like yeah dude my appendix burst that day and I was I was experiencing toxic shock while I was in while I was doing that fucking interview and watching that live show of us the snark tank up the the the snark tank live and the the the sacred symbols live that we did that day it I can see it because that's that's not what happened to me but it's what felt like I thought for sure like my appendix exploded like that's what that's what what I thought happened and I was like and I was like an idiot I am

I was like I don't want to inconvenience anybody by going to a doctor you're I will absolutely I will absolutely die I will absolutely die to avoid getting in people's way I think I've learned that about like sincerely I've learned this about myself I don't even say that as like a point of like pride or like

it's just it literally is true because I really thought That was so intense that pain. I'd rather not be a nuisance to people. I genuinely believe that about myself too. Yeah. Where I'm like, I'll just go to bed. Like that's what, like, when I'm really in pain, I'm like, I'll just go to bed, you know.

Dude, there's a part in the live show. And if I don't, I don't, you know. You can see me like my head, like, my head. Like, there are certain points that like my head is down. My head is not because I'm trying to like charge up the key to keep myself going. And then at the sacred one afterwards, it was like slightly better. It was still so bad. Like I was like leaning back in like ridiculous ways.

There was a point where I just laid down on the stage as like a, I saw an opportunity to make a joke out of lying down. And I took it because I need, because I needed to lie down. Like I desperately. And you lied down for serious. Because you were in pain. It was so real. So you seriously lied down because you needed it. That's correct.

crazy. It makes me nervous with doing live shows. I'm supposed to do a live show this, well, the Saturday that,

uh, we're recording this. I'm going to be in New York. I'm just going to lie down because I really, I really, really, really need a moment. I had to do it.

I need a moment because I was really annoyed because I, I, I wanted that show to be, I wanted that show to be better than it was and I, I couldn't because that was fucking. We did a good job, though. We didn't do a bad job at all. We didn't do a bad job considering.

I was just, I remember, just being frustrated. I was like, damn, I really wanted. I really wanted, I wanted to go crazy. Like, I wanted to, like, walk around and stuff. But, like, I just, I could not move. I think I did a pretty decent job trying to hold it together, because I tried to hold this show together. And I was like, I think, yeah,

it was good. You did a good job, man. You were just dying. You were just, you were just, you were just, afflicted. So you had to make a choice. Astro boy, Rodin. Says, hello, the three peeps that keep me sane at work. Longtime fan of Chris in Sweden since 2015 when he was a gremlin. and a longtime fan of the pod, got a job and paid for y'all's Patreon

to pay back for all the free laughs you give me. Thank you, man. Appreciate it. Thank you, man. We appreciate it. Biggest, the Patreon continues to skyrocket, by the way. Crazy. So thanks again for all your support.

Like, I think there's a potential, oh, let me check real quick. I want to make sure I'm not lying or making this up. But we very well might be, yeah, I think we might be able to hit like 2K this year. and Patreon soon

yeah Patreon this keeps growing it's crazy you just wait 2K on Patreon mmhmm because we're

1600 now we're past 2K but we're past we're past 2K well no I mean like in paid like I know total is 2K but like I mean like in paid I think you can hit 2K

we might man we might we'll see dude thank you for love anyway though we appreciate it yeah thanks Astor Boy and all the people like him who decide to pitch us

a buck or two and if you don't do it anyway do it right now yeah you better give us your money or so I find you no eat you but he says so quick question what are your all's favorite Spider-Man costumes my personal favorite is the black suit Spider-Man the Peter War when he ran Kingpin for his Caucasian fives so what are y'all's favorite design or designs of the suit it's good uh

I don't know if you said by the way before we before we do this did you see that they're doing the Spider-Munday thing like all yeah we're gonna go we're gonna go You want to go see them with us every one Monday? I would love to do that. I'll be gone one of them because I'll be in SD. You're probably going to be there with me, actually. You probably won't be there as well.

But because my birthday stuff for San Diego. But other than that, we're going to all of them. So if you come by the Mondays, we'll go and watch all of them in theaters. Yeah, I definitely, I definitely do want to do that because that is. Okay. The fact that they're bringing all of them back is crazy. It's going to be one. It starts the 15th.

I cannot wait. I told Litch was like, yeah, we're going to go, obviously. second not wait But anyway Yeah so quick Yeah so the Name three Spider-Man Costas

That's three Name three I have three I really like All right You go first Because I have to think About like

I have to remember the names of them So obviously we got the classic suit Classic Spider-Man suit Little round stubby spider It is my favorite Spider-man suit Then we got obviously The comic black suit

amazing design probably a little more modern one where the white tendrils actually connect to each other from the front and the back around the sides that's one I really really like as well and then we have the

future foundation suit which is pretty much the white version of the black suit is the one I really really do those are my three favorites I love those costumes and then fourth will probably be Miles Marazzo

I was going to have a fourth one is a regular suit but I'd really really like the three black white one and then the original costume or just perfect for me Yeah I don't want to say

I do love the original suit that is probably like one of my favorites but just to keep it a little bit less of a copy paste list I do think I do have to have some crossover because I do love that original black suit that of that original black suit is

I think so well designed I think that original black suit I can't say this for certain but I feel like it's not... I don't think it's unreasonable that it... I feel like it might be true where the black suit Spider-Man, the original Black Sea Spider-Man from the comic,

is the suit that got me to pay attention to Spider-Man in the first place. I think I remember seeing... I think I remember seeing that comic cover, and I think I remember seeing like a toy or an action figure of that costume and being like, that looks fucking sick, I want it. And I don't even think I understood

what Spider-Man was at the same. that point. I was like really, really, really, really fucking little. So that, that one always stuck with me. It's such a good suit, dude. The patches on the hands, the white spider on the front of his bat, at front and in the back,

the white eyes of the black skin. And if you're doing the one from the show, as the highlights of blue sometimes. Yeah, that part of his born is the highlights of red and blue. It's just, it's just, it's a good looking suit. It's so good, dude. Yeah, it's,

It's just a really... It's so simple. It's not over-designed. It's like really simple. It's just a black suit and it just looks really good. And it's also just like, feels more Spider-Manny to me than a lot of other Spider-Ber. Like I like the Red and Blue suit too, obviously,

but like, that's very spider. Like that entire suit. Like, I love it. Even just the white... The glaring white logo on it just kind of reminds me of like the Black Widow red thing on the back. It was just like, this is so cool. The second one, this is, by the way, not necessarily an order of importance. It's really in order of cadence for the episode.

But I really like, I have a soft spot. Not for every way that it's depicted, but certain depictions of the Spider Armour Mark I. There's something about... The silver one? Yeah, there's something about the fact... There's something about the fact that it is literally just the Spider-Man suit, but basically medieval armor

that is really fucking cool I don't like the way it looks like in this in Spider-Man 2 the game like I don't like the way it looks in game but I remember really loving the way it looked in the PS1 game the original Spider-Man by Neversoft I remember loving the way that it looked

in certain comic panels that I remember seeing growing up so that like that version of it it doesn't translate well to certain mediums or whatever but like I like my favorite version of that suit is probably like like up in up in the list of like my favorite Spider-Man suits.

And I agree. And I have to, I know that this is like a controversial one. But I have to say, this is not surprising. But like I love the, specifically the Spider-Man 2 Ramey suit. I love, love that suit. Not because it makes sense. Not because it doesn't make sense. It's so high quality and so.

unreasonably good. There's no reason why Peter Parker would be able to make something like that. But it looks so distinct. And like it looks, it doesn't look like any other Spider-Man suit, but it also looks like Spider-Man. And I love the, like, the hue of blue specifically like they use for it. The darker blue on his legs. The darker blue on the legs, I love the big spider. I don't love it as much as like the- I love the British red, too.

the brickish red two of his The rest of it It's a good suit man I like What I think what I think what makes it for me is is And this is like Something that would probably like break a lot of other suits But I think it works really well for this suit

Is the fact that the mask is like a face plate Like I understand That it doesn't make sense But like from like sheer like Just speaking from like a visual perspective Like having that solid Like there's an iconography to the shape of Toby McGuire Spider-Man's face that I cannot deny that when I see a silhouette,

it's just a head, even if it's just the head, I'm like, that's Toby McGuire Spider-Man's head. Because it's got that specific shape to it that the game doesn't have. And I think that's why it looks so fucked in the game. Also, it just looks, it looks shitty in the game, to be fair. Like, I don't think any other version, aside from the movies, makes it look as good as it actually does. And that's kind of like a problem with it because, like... Everything fails at it. Because I personally, I like the Ramey suit. I hate the Remy black suit.

That is, that I have a really big ball to pick with it. And they can't, and they couldn't, they couldn't make it the way it looks in the show. Because of the nature of the black suit is so glossy and slimy. It's literally an alien. Yeah. You know, like, um, like our friend Hans is like, like, he literally was like he called me. He was like, dude, this is why it can't work because they show me the pictures and everything. He was like, it just can't work in live action.

It's not going to look good. way the light would reflect off of it would be really fucked in recording it. It just wouldn't look good if it was a slimy thing. And I'm like, I know. But the black suit is a flawless character suit. That is the best, that's the best

alternate costume period in hero history. It is the best alternate costume. Yeah. Yeah. Easy. People argue that Batman has a better costume in Spider-Man. That's true. No. But Batman does not have a, that may be true. People, people argue

back and forth. Like this person has the best costume versus the best costume, X, Y, and Z, all these heroes, right? But you cannot say anyone has a better alternate costume in Spider-Man without a doubt. That is an unwinnable argument. The black suit is perfect. I think the black suit is just, the Ramey black suit, I don't, I don't love it. I like it in the context that, like, it makes sense within the, within, like, the, it makes sense in the realm of that movie, but like, I would have way, I would have preferred to

see the original black suit. I understand why it didn't work. I understand why they couldn't do it. But, like, even if they just got rid of the raised webbing, just something to distinguish it from like the original, from like the actual race suit. I think it needed more white.

That's it. Do you think like if the webbing was white, that would have made a difference? No, because it'd be too much, it'd be too much webbing on if it was all white, you know? That's kind of the thing. Remember how,

you know how the game, you know how it looks in the Spider-Man video game, the new one? How the webs look white and it's just too much on it. it would just be that but black right now The way his weapon should just be down And it should be at least a big white spider on the chest But I was told that filming that would not look good

It would not look good on film Because having a big glaring white piece of thing on this dead While all the lights are on him Would fuck up the way it would film It would look in filming So I understand Exposure Yeah I understand why it looks the way it does

By necessity but like It's not my favorite suit at all But like I do, I have to say, man, like, during, there's something about the way that suit looks in those movies that it's just like, it looks really fucking good.

Like for a live action adaptation of like a superhero suit to be, first of all, keep in mind, that suit was made at a time when we got superhero movies.

The suits were like, it felt like studios were embarrassed by the suits. You know what I mean? Like Batman had to be really cool. You know, it had to be like all this. I'm not saying that Batman's. And I'm not saying that Batman's suits in the bail movies were bad, by the way. I'm just saying, like, they're very not comic accurate. Like, because, like, I think there was a, there was a, there was a, there was a fear that, like, if they did that, no one would like it.

Same thing with, like, X-Men where they just didn't have them in, they had them in the black, you know, the, what do you call them? Black leather suits instead of the yellow and those things. Yeah. And so, like, it was at a time where, like, it was really, like, they just weren't doing that. And so they did take some liberties, like, the eyes are sharp and there's raised webbing. but that is a faithful as fuck costume. Like the lines are where they need to be. The spiders are where they need to be.

Like the colors are what they are what they are. Like they're darker for like film purposes. But like, and I just remember being like smitten by it because I saw it. I remember seeing it in motion for the first time. It was like seeing it in in the movie made me believe like,

oh, this guy could be real. And I'll never forget that specific moment whereas it's like that made me like believe in Spider-Man in like a way that I hadn't really quite thought of before. Understand. And so that suit is like really important to me. I don't think it's the best suit ever,

but it's one that I have the most connection to for sure. Black suit is good though. Black suit is so fucking good. Such a well-designed suit for no reason either. They were just like the guy that made it too, the guy made it for like a few dollars. You know what I said about the guy that made it for like a few bucks? Yeah.

They gave him like $17. Shout out to, uh, I love the eyes too, like the specific shape of the eyes. It's just, yeah. It's just, yeah. different. They're more, they're more angry. Yeah, but they're also like, they're also like more round. It's good.

Like, it's a, it's a good suit. And shout out to also the Alex Ross suit. I like that suit a lot. Oh, the black assassin suit? I don't know if it's the black assassin suit. It's the red and black one, right? If I'm on a stick in. Black assassin Spider-Man. Hold on a me.

Yeah, yeah. It's like the, it's like the, It was crazy. The red V and like the black rest of the body. And he has guns in his fucking wrist. That one is so fucking cool. I didn't even know that.

I only saw it because it was like an unlockable costume for the Toby McGuire for the first game. You could get the Alex Ross. That's costume that old. Jesus Christ. Yeah, and that crazy? It's called Alex Ross in that game.

So like that's what I always knew it as. I didn't know it was like a, would you call it? It's what happens is that. That's the costume where like if he was if he was trained by Wolverine Wolverine retain to become an assassin. Obviously Spider-Man's powers lend towards being an assassin so well that he was like I'm gonna train you to be in a killer

and he becomes like a fucking the best hitman on the planet because Spider-Man's powers are ridiculous. Yeah. You go up against this five foot like five foot 10 like twig and you're like oh I'm gonna fuck this guy up and he picks you up and throws you if you said he blocks. and you're like, well, darn, or he's on your ceiling. You don't know he's there.

I love that costume, too. It was very good one as well. Yeah, the one in, I don't know if this is true in the comic, but like the one in the PS or the PS2 Xbox 36, or not Xbox series, PS2 Xbox game has like the rounded spider on the back too, which is. I think it does, it's a, it's pretty much like the original one. Yeah.

And it's got like the circle spider. The raging, did you see the, um, the sparking zero stuff for today? Oh, dude, yes. Of course I did. Oh, God, we got to talk about that a little bit. I forgot about that. I told me to the questions. No, no, no, you're right.

I'm so excited. It looks so good. It looks so good. Yeah, so we're talking about, uh, we're talking about, uh, there's a new Budikaitan Kaiichi game coming out, basically. It's called sparking zero. It's a dragon ball fighting game, arena fighter. It's been a long time since they've made,

one of these, specifically in this style, because they, like, they tried, like, they did, like, Ultimate Tenkaichi. That sucked. They did, um, uh, Raging Blast and Raging Blast, too, which I felt just weren't very good. Um,

but this looks straight up like Budakai Tenkaiichi. Like, it looks, it looks like Tenkaiji, one, two, three. But it looks gorgeous. Like, even just the way that they're charging and like the or, the way the aura looks when they're charging, I'm like,

this looks so good. I'm so fucking excited. It looks, it looks like Tenkauch. Haichi again, dude. It's crazy. Even to the bar, even to the bars they have. Yeah.

Can I say something? They even have, remember the transformation secondary bar into below one away? Like if you got to go from one, you go to some plane. If you hold it, you go up two levels.

Even that's back. And I'm like, this is insane. And you can deflect fucking gallic guns and Kamehamehaz and shit. When freaking freaking, when Regina slaps the Kamehamehameh out the way, dude,

This is probably, I don't know what it says about me, but this is probably like the most excited I have been for a game in a very long time because I've been wanting this type of, like, I haven't, there's no, there's a lot of RPGs, all right? There's a lot of Soulsborns.

There's a lot of first person shooters. There's even a lot of fighting games, right? But there's not, I have yet to experience joy in a fighting game with the casualness and and the intensity of like when I would play like Tenkaichi 2 with like friends of mine. Like there was something about that time, the music, the style, the direction, the fact that it's obviously connected to a universe that I love,

that like I haven't gotten in a long time. I hated Raging Blass and Raging Blast 2. I don't even know what they just, something about the controls and just the way that it looked. And I remember being annoyed that they changed the bars to those bubbles. Like it was like a circle. They were circle. Yeah, I didn't know where I died.

I don't know I was dying. I was like, am I hurting now? I was like, is that my energy? Is that my health is like, what, like, what's the fuck is going on? So that UI shit didn't really make sense to me. Other games later on had like weird like overlays over it. I didn't like Kakarot really that much the way it played. And I don't know, seeing this again and seeing it look so much like Budakaiteng Kaiichi.

Like a picture of time I saw when I was younger, you know? Like the image I have in my brain is that I'm seeing it again. I'm like, oh, I remember it looking like this before, too. Yeah. And it's making me, it just gives me a degree of excitement that I haven't had. Because I don't know, we lost Toriyama recently, you know. Yeah, it hits different for that reason. Yeah, it just got to the point where it was like the coolest point by far.

Like, we just got like, the first time in years, we got a full like battle royale from all the saints. It was Broly versus Goku versus Gohont versus Gohan versus Trunks versus Vegeta. We haven't had one of those moments in like decades in Dragon Ball Z. We've all these very like... The last time everyone really fought with each other was... The science saga brought it. If that, maybe like... I don't think we've ever had a moment where all the sands really just fought against each other.

It's like, let's just have a... Let's just a fight. It really, it literally was just the sand saga. Like, that was, and that was just because there were... They were as enemies. They weren't even as, like, just training with each other. Right. Like, each other's stronger.

And it just felt really good, you know. And then, like, we lost... And then, like, just all that stuff happens. and then compound for me also I really start playing a Dakar game for Dragon Ball

because it's a card game I came out recently I started playing now and it's really fun yeah and then now this comes out too and I'm like

in an era of so much sadness for all of us who love he created there's so much beautiful stuff coming out

and bombing it so it makes me feel good in my heart to see like that Dragon Ball is not dead you know it's not gone yet

yeah people argue it should be gone but I'm loving what I'm getting from it right now. Look, I'm loving it. It can die after this. I'm fine with that. But I, but I want my, I want my Tenkaichi.

And the fact that we're, I don't know, man, the last Tenkaichi, the last real Tenkaichi game came out in like fucking 2007 or something. Like, like, a long long time ago. Definitely nearly 20 years ago. Isn't that wild, dude? There's alternate Tenkaichi, but like, that sucks. It's really bad. Like, it's not even close to this. Yeah, it's not, it plays itself.

I didn't buy it. That's how bad it was. Yeah, I wasn't even curious about it. No, I didn't. I didn't either. I played at a friend's house. It's like, oh, they got a new Jekyllabong game. It's like, okay.

And I played it and I was like, this is, this plays itself literally. Like, I think if I'm remembering correctly, you can't even throw beams if you're like really close to someone. Like, it just doesn't let you because it's like, you're not in beam range. And it's like, this is so stupid. This is not at all what Teng Kaiichi was. Dude, I can't wait to play that. I cannot wait to play as Gohan. I can't wait to play as Mystic Gohan.

I can't like to use my beast for him. I can like to see Jack, Orange Piccolo. That is something I want to see in that game so big. I just want to see lumbering Piccolo standing over people. Yeah, it's going to be cool. Piccolo's going to have a transformation. That's going to be exciting. Finally.

Remember he had sync? He had sync with nail, remember? It wasn't a combination. It's one of those like the, um, you, like you use the bars and you just get like a bunch of power ups on the lower screen. He'll finally be able to transform into something. I'm so excited. Oh.

Yeah. I am so quick enough dude that game cannot come quick enough yeah I was I was super sad to see that there wasn't like a release date at the end of it because I'm really fucking eager

to do play it we have to play you understand this oh no dude when this comes out come over yes oh yeah just come over

we're just gonna everybody is gonna be at my house are gonna have food we're gonna play have food we're gonna play play Dragon Ball for hours oh yeah dude it looks so good

like the movement looks good the art style looks good oh my god how fast everything is dude it's so quick flying past do, dude. Oh, man.

I'm really curious how the balance of, like, parrying beams is going to work. Like, I wonder if you can, if it, like, takes energy or, like, like, you need a certain... It's going to be timing. Because remember in the old ones how you could parry, like, the charged key blast? If you just block it the right time, you slap it out the way.

Yeah, but, like... I think it's going to be really strict timing. They're just going to eat a lot of them to the face by fucking it. I think it's timing and key. I think it's going to... I think it'll consume key to do it. Did it... I think that's the only way to make that fair.

Yeah, for sure. If you got a spend key to do it, you got to spend key to get rid of it. That makes sense. Yeah. Because otherwise you could just spam, you know, you just deflect anything. And there's no strategy there. I don't know, yeah. I'm really, I'm fucking so stoked for it.

I can't believe I forgot to talk about it. The way they look, the designs, it's insane. The way to how well, like, just how much clear, like, time they took into designing the faces of Goku and Vegeta again. They were like, oh, the super movie looked good. Let's just take the good parts of that. and put it into a fucking video game. And I'm like, yes.

Thank you. Thank you so much. Yeah, I, oh, dude, I'm watching, I'm watching it. Yes. Like, I, it's hard not to,

like, the bars being where they're supposed to be. You know what they're supposed to be. Is it? But Jesus hair is brown. Like, when you see the light on his hair, you see the inner color is brown finally.

Oh, yeah, kind of. I do think his, I don't know, maybe it's, maybe it's alternate costumes or whatever, but like his, his, his, his armor's a little bit too black. But, like, it's such a minor comparison, yeah. Like, I wanted to be a little bit more blue, but like, that's such a minor fucking complaint. It might be, it might be super, that's why, it might be super Vegeta. That's, oh, that's true, yeah.

Cousin super, he has, I don't know, and it's super he has, because, yeah, Goku's armor's a little dark, a little dark, not too dark. I think it just might be like the color. in the game is like the way that they're showing it is like kind of like maybe like a little bit more saturated or a little bit more contrasted. But like dude, like it looks. Dude, how much flu do you have in your flying? You're just able to zip around. You guys don't, some of you guys probably don't remember Tenkaichi. I think that's why you guys don't remember Burakai Tenkaichi. I remember it coming out. I remember the first one coming out and it being pretty fun. And then also the second one, I feel like it came immediately after the first one. I feel like one and two came out.

It was a year. It was a year. Within like weeks of each other almost because I was still busy playing one. And I remember in one. One, you couldn't pick, you couldn't go Super Sane. You had to pick Super Sane forms. And I hated, I hated that shit. And then the second one came out. And then two was like encapsulating for everybody. I remember two, there was one point in a game where you're doing your story mode where you have to fight five meca freezes with Goku and Vegeta.

And that fight sucked. That was such an annoying fight. They had less life, but they were just constant. I was like, yo, dude, I don't want to fight another freezer. And you'd have to fight a no mecha cooler. It was a big Getty Star movie Yeah, I kept fighting cool and cooler My friend was like, yo dude

This is the beginning of the game How can we not beat this? Now here's the thing about it Are we gonna get GT characters in this? Very likely I don't know It's not Dragon Ball Zia, Dragon Ball super Is Dragon Ball sparking blast, you know?

Yeah, I guess, or Sparking Zero, yeah I guess you're right I guess they just haven't showcased it I guess I wouldn't because I guess the whole point is that they would showcase Super because that's new and you'd want to know you'd want to know that like topo is in there and all that stuff but i don't care about topo honestly of being honest well you know what i mean like just like just to show that like there's

it's more recent as opposed to because i remember one of the buddicai games came out before gt was finished so like you had like a bunch of you had like a bunch of characters but he came up before we finished gt so i came before we were done gtel of it so we saw mega senron we saw um It was only a major summer for that. We saw the Super Saint four forms. And the fusion. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, who the fuck is this?

I was like, who the fuck is this character? Because in America, they kept restarting the series over and over again. So it'd get to a decent place and they'd be like, oh, I just saw Super 17. Who's this dragon guy? Yeah. What's going on here? Yeah, no, I'm really, really, really excited. Like, this is exactly the kind of wholesome, like, thing that I think I know.

need right now in video games where it's just like I just take me back let me play through the dragon ball story at like an abridged pace let me have these fights let me see hear these actors do their thing again I never get tired of it so let me just do it um dude I was I played all these games back to back basically and I I played through the same fucking story super stuff too a little super stuff too you're gonna if they're gonna find love for the super stuff playing it you know like you know I actually kind of like supra I enjoyed I enjoyed playing this stuff as an ultra instinct. That ultra instinct fight was kind of sick.

You know, what I really think about it, playing that's what happened. That's pretty weird. I mean, that is what happened with me with Z. I mean, like, I didn't know what the Bullsaga. Yeah, literally, playing to the Buscaga. I fell in love with it. I just didn't, all right, it's pretty cool. I just didn't know what, what Dragon Ballsie was. Like, I played Budakai at a friend's house.

And he was like, and he was like, I remember it was my friend Michael. And I was like, over it was like, oh, this is kind of crazy. It was like, yeah, it's based on a show. And I was like a show. And I basically like play through the entire story through the game before I even saw the show. And I loved it.

I don't remember either location well enough to know if that's an upgrade or not. But I feel like Orange County, New York is not. It is not. It is so not notable that the first thing you think of when you think of Orange County is California. So. Like Orange County is like New Yorker. Even I as a New Yorker when I heard Orange County, I would think, oh, in Los Angeles in California. Oh, you mean near Disney, right?

Spirit Box, like Spirit Cox. The RFK support is wild to me, dog. Yeah, I don't, I have, I just haven't looked into him enough to know, like, whether or not he's, has any good positions. I'm basing it just, the issue is he doesn't have a chance

because he's so, gross to listen to. I'm sorry. I know that that's like really shallow and really dumb and it shouldn't matter. Even he literally says it though. But it does. But he like he knows he's gonna fucking like no one wants oh my god no one wants to hear a state of the union from fucking like an emaciated skeletor sounding motherfucker like no one wants to hear that. He literally says it like it's not even like other people just saying it. He literally is like I sound terrible. Let me put it this way. Let me put let me put let me put it. Let me put it. Let me put it. Let me put it. it this way. I, of the politicians that I have supported and known throughout my life, it's not really a long list. Not really a long list. It's a very short list.

It was early on, I liked early on I liked Ron Paul as far as like the Republicans went because I felt like he seemed like to be the most reasonable Republican in that primary in 2012 and before. But after that, it's probably Bernie Sanders. And I can tell you this.

If Bernie Sanders sounded anything like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. I would say like, look, man, I love you, but like, you're not, you don't stand a fucking chance. You don't got it, blood. Even if I agreed with everything that you're saying, and I think you're like the most honest person and the most honorable person and like you're doing the right thing and your positions are correct,

you don't, you can't win a fight like that. So, I don't know. I haven't even bothered to look into Robert Kennedy Jr., because I just don't even consider him a viable. He's so unviable to me That it's not even worth knowing what his positions are Like it says I don't know what people are deluding themselves

Aw, that's sad. Slurban, stroken, smoking, joking, emoticons going like this. Drip M.H. Lord of Drip. Telling the cartel members about to behead me that Goku would be very disappointed at them. I think the safest thing you could do in Mexico is wear a Dragon Ball shirt.

Actually. Like, I actually think, like, unironically, that would serve you so much better than just wearing like a bulletproof vest or like armor or anything. Like you would, you would, it would be like, it would be like angels to be outfield. He's just wearing a dragonball shirt. Like that's insane. You're about to get killed and you're like, and they're like, no, no, no.

It has to, that's the thing. It's like, it has to be on the outside. You got to, it has to be the first thing that, it has to be the layer one of you, of your clothing. of your person because they'll get confused because you don't want any kind of miscommunication I mean look I can't prove this for sure

but I have never seen a video of cartels or otherwise dispatching of people in Dragon Ball shirts it happens to be everybody who's dispatched isn't wearing a Dragon Ball shirt so I don't know man

I think there's a there's validity to this strategy I think if you're going to go to Mexico, trust me, trust me, wear a shirt with Goku on it. I'm not even joking. I think you'll have a noticeably worse, like a noticeably better time. If you could peer into a different reality

where you did the same trip, but you wore a shirt that wasn't dragable-oriented, you would leave and come home in a far worse scenario. Like you would come home with like something missing and something taped to your large intestine. Wear a dragonball shirt in Mexico. Even Lily likes Dragon Ball

I'm partnering with Simple Mills and I've just found my new go-to reading snack, Simple Mills' almond flour crackers. Think of this as a quick book style review because these crackers deserve it. The premise, a snack that feels light, not heavy. Made with almond flowers, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds, nutrient-dense ingredients your body can use, not empty carbs. And the taste? Crunchy, classic flavors that leave you feeling energized. For a good plot twist, try pop-ums, cheesy, airy, poppable crackers packed with veggies. Final verdict, these are a shelf

staple. Find simple mills at your grocery store.
