Folks, my brother, my dear brother, who lives in Washington just informed me that he lost like 80% of his hearing in his right ear. But he's tough. He had melanoma and he survived. So anything after that is just icing on the cake.
Starting point is 00:01:40 No, not like any further injury is icing or sickness, but Not like any further injury is icing or sickness, but You survived that. Yeah, I don't know what I say It sucks because I have so much fucking ear wax in my ears that I can't even hear god damn thing in these monitors Yeah, I can't uh, I have tenitis And I learned that by trial and error basically where you get the little Mine is like I hear like a distant diesel engine idling. That's kind of nice. It's not nice.
Starting point is 00:02:08 You feel like a junkyard dog going to sleep in the night. Haha. Do junkyard dogs even exist anymore? So oh boy, here's a story. It's not that great a story. What did you break into a junkyard? No, I have family in Greece and they have a business where they work on they repair trucks
Starting point is 00:02:26 Uh-huh, and there's a lot of valuable parts on the trucks that they have God, I wish I could remember the name of the type of dog. It's the biggest dog I've ever seen in my fucking life I would like it to bet and master for something like something crazy. Yeah, that's cool. And his name was blue Balloon That's what they would say But no one else could get near him. I was like, damn, I want to pet that big ass dog. But they were like, no.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Wow, you can't even pet it. It's like a psycho dog. It just like will rip your fricking damn. Hey, before we get started, be sure to click the, the see more button on the description so that you can go ahead and check out the disclaimer. And me like got some good news last night. I went out to dinner and the waiter, are you okay over there? Yeah, I just realized it looks like I'm drinking like a fucking big gulp.
Starting point is 00:03:18 It's just like tea. It's just a big styrofoam cup. Yeah, I guess I haven't drank at a styrofoam in a long time. Yeah. Aren't these terrible for the environment? Who knows? Who knows anymore? Do you trust the government? No.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Yeah, me either. Well, hey, as I was saying, I got complimented on my mustache last night. It's great. It looks really thick. So if you like it, please leave a comment in the comments about my mustache. But the waiter, I was, it's the first time that a stranger has complimented me on facial hair. And I feel like he was now in hindsight,
Starting point is 00:03:57 I'm like, oh, maybe he was being condescending like you would a child like, hey buddy, great job. I not only think he was, I know he was. Yeah, because it doesn't look that good. It doesn't look that good. Really? No, it's fine. Okay, shit, because I was gonna say I should.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Safe, I can shave it. It's not good. Uh, I wanted to give a big thanks to everybody who listens and watches this show. We, this is a, that would call it a labor of love. Hey, don't include me on this if you watch the show I Hate your guts damn you heard it folks fuck the fucking but I love you No, I do I love every last one of you. Yeah for real. We
Starting point is 00:04:39 We wouldn't be able to do this without each and every one of you you're very special and we wouldn't be able to do this without each and every one of you. You're very special and you're a special little snowflake. No, because you can't say snowflake anymore. Yeah, you can. But they all are. They're special little snowflakes with sharp edges. Oh, yes. But like ninja stars, if one of these falls on your tongue,
Starting point is 00:04:58 you try to go outside and do something cute, like catch this snowflake on your tongue. Yeah, you're going on the fucking hospital. Yeah, because it's going to last a rate. It's going to slice your tongue right open. Yeah. We're going in the fucking hospital. Yeah, because it's gonna last a rate. It's gonna slice your tongue right open. Yeah. We also learned that a lot of you are Colombo heads. So many people were like,
Starting point is 00:05:12 I love Colombo. No way. You fucking freaks. In the comments. Yeah, everybody's like, I love Colombo. I guess I'm missing out, man. People of all ages. Damn, I wish I saw this.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Love Colombo. Why didn't you let me know? I thought you saw. You know I don't read them. Yeah, you're right. Well, people do love to be watching that man Colombo. Maybe we should make some merch. That's like some unofficial Colombo merch.
Starting point is 00:05:38 No, it'll be like bumper stickers that are like, I'd rather be watching Colombo. My dad had a license plate covered that said, I'd rather be watching Bonombo. My dad had a license plate covered that said, I'd rather be watching Bonanza Reurons. Yeah. Do you know what Bonanza is? Yeah, it's the fucking like old West show. It was this boring ass old West show.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Each episode was an hour long. And anytime we'd be sitting at home and he would see that it was only be like, oh, Bonanza's on. He would put it on and fall asleep within 10 minutes. See, Colombo keeps you up. Yeah, you're engaged. You know what's cool about Colombo?
Starting point is 00:06:08 What's cool about Colombo? They're always like a different length. They just like make the fucking show. Really? Yeah, it's not like an hour long. Sometimes they're like an hour and a half. Jesus Christ. Okay, and I think the length is different because
Starting point is 00:06:22 it's always a murder mystery. Uh-huh. But they show you how the murder happened first. is different because it's always a murder mystery, but they show you how the murder happened first. So, Colombo is not present in like the first, anywhere from like 15 to 30 minutes, and you're just watching the murder play out. And you have to watch Colombo figure it out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Well, is that, well, CSI is a little different, because it shows you the aftermath. Yes, CSI is dog shit. Don't even talk to me about CSI. Colombo is a, or T-shirts that just say, don't hassle me, I'm watching Columbus. They used to film CSI Miami right near where I worked at the crab pot in Long Beach.
Starting point is 00:06:55 And one time David Caruso, who was like the star of it, his assistant came in to the restaurant on like a Sunday morning. Nobody is, the restaurant is barely open. Nobody's there. And she's like, can I get a salad to go, a Cobb salad? And my manager, who was just like a total restaurant manager, like a authoritarian guy, was like, we don't do to go orders. And she goes, does it help if I tell you it's for David Caruso?
Starting point is 00:07:23 And we're just filming down the street and he goes nope, no exceptions. No special treatment. You'll become the fuck on Johnny. No, fuck David Caruso. If it was Peter Falk, you know I'm good on that cop. God. Well, you know you're giving him that cop. Yeah, I love a cop salad.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Gives me gas though, it's the blue cheese. I love that there were so many Colombo heads. I'm pitching. No one told me. Well, I'm telling you now. Colombo heads unite. Hey, if you like Colombo, go ahead and leave a comment for me. Oh, just say, Hey, you're meal. I like Colombo. And then Ben will send it to me. Yeah, I'll send I'll send them screenshots. Oh, boy. So this is going to be a tough transition. Russia declared war on Ukraine overnight. Yeah. And this is tough because I think we just want to do our silly show. Yeah, we just want to do our silly show
Starting point is 00:08:10 and and we had a whole episode planned about some crazy stuff going on with crypto. Yeah. And we still are going to get to that, but we did we we would be remiss if we didn't at least touch on what's happening. And it's fucking terrible. And, you know, I don't have a lot to say other than I think that it's terrible. And I know that I remember that there's a couple people who will listen to the show who are in Ukraine. And if they're even listening, I hope that they're safe. And I hope that they're not. I don't fucking know. It's just, it sucks. It's terrible. It sucks is
Starting point is 00:08:52 the most privileged phrase that I can utter about something that's happening on the other side of the world. It sucks. Yeah, I have no good things to say. It's all gonna be, it'll be bad for Ukrainian people. It's gonna be really bad for Russian people too. I think the sanctions that the US and EU and UK are talking about are gonna... Japan are gonna really hurt. I want to try to sum it up as best as best we can for those who don't understand what's going on. And forgive us if we're wrong on this because we might very well be. But
Starting point is 00:09:36 far as I know, Putin's basically trying to get the band back together so to speak with, you know, the Soviet Union used to be all these territories that I don't think we should even try to explain this. Really? Well, what good is it gonna do? I mean, talking about it out loud helps me better understand it. I don't, I don't think I fully understand.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Well, I guess I'll scratch that. Basically, Putin, Russia, Russia doesn't have a lot of ports and their ports that they do have access to freeze over in the winter. That's why they took Crimea because it's got access to the Black Sea. And my very, very basic, uneducated understanding is that with Ukraine, it's, I don't know, man, they've got, they've got like the number three, they're like third in the world, producing fertilizer, tons of natural gas resources.
Starting point is 00:10:33 It's all, I mean, it's whatever he was about, it's about resources. And the fear is that, the fear is that, well, if Putin takes Ukraine, what's next, is he gonna then take, you know, what's next on his list? How far is he gonna push the West and NATO until NATO says, okay, eventually, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:10:56 I don't fucking know. Yeah, I don't really wanna speculate on it, I think. Because it's hard to understand, it's hard to understand it's hard to know who's telling the truth to russia says one thing the the american intelligence officials say one thing and then politicians are on tv talking about nuclear war like that fucking i can't
Starting point is 00:11:19 remember his name summer republican from the midwest was saying that nuclear war isn't off the table fuck off Republican from the Midwest was saying that nuclear war isn't off the table. Fuck off. Yeah, Putin said that there's a... There will be like swift and strong... Consequences. Consequences for anyone who... tries to aid Ukraine or put a stop to this.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Yeah, which is terrifying. And I don't think... I don't think I understand what that means for us or... Yeah. And as of, I mean, on the drive-in, just like an hour ago, where they were talking about it on the radio, and I believe the UK was throwing around the idea of... kicking Russia out of what's called Swift,
Starting point is 00:12:04 which is the... it's like a global banking system of kicking Russia out of what's called Swift, which is the, it's like a global banking system that basically if you're out of it, you're fucked. And like they kicked Iran out of it. Iran is a different story because they're a much smaller economy than Russia is, but it devalued their currency almost overnight. It just, it fucked Iran.
Starting point is 00:12:24 But Russia already responded and said if they if they do that. Yeah, Swift was a big one. If you yeah, if they kick us out of Swift, it's an active war. Right. I don't know if they have or not. I think they're with the sanctions that America is talking about. It seems like it might be included. And yeah, Russia will respond to sanctions by targeting US assets as part of a strong and painful response. Oh, yeah, what are those sensitive assets? Like, goddamn, but overnight, the Russian rubble, which is their currency dropped by like 8%, which is huge. That's a massive drop in value. As of this morning, Thursday, the Russian market, the stock market was completely halted altogether.
Starting point is 00:13:12 So they're just, I know that one stock, this stock called Yandex YNDX, which is kind of like the Russian Google just has fucking collapsed. And just on that note, we're not gonna comment on the market and how the, obviously the market's down, but like it just feels insensitive and... What's the, what's the word? It just feels insensitive to speculate, like, yeah. Who gives a shit right now? People are dying and being displaced and...
Starting point is 00:13:46 Yeah, I don't know. I think everyone is is clamoring for everyone to have a take on this. I don't really have one except for that. This is bad. And I hope it ends with very little suffering. And I don't know what the right course of action is, but I hope it does not. I hope the least amount of suffering happens. Yeah, that's a very utilitarian point of view to have.
Starting point is 00:14:11 And I think it also just highlights how little control we have over any of this. I think, you know, I don't know what to even tell people to do. I mean, people have been posting like, I've been seeing the link to, here's how to help Ukraine. And so I went, but I mean,
Starting point is 00:14:35 some of it was for helping with military stuff, and I was like, I don't necessarily wanna be donating towards military things. So I have no idea what you should be doing to help. Yeah, and I think that you just touched on an important thing, which is in situations like this, it is easy to succumb to feeling guilty, to feeling all sorts of helplessness. But I think it helps to step back and remind yourself that it's okay to A, like not have a strong opinion on it, be accept that there's nothing you can do. I mean,
Starting point is 00:15:15 there's very little that you can actually do in any kind of situation, geopolitical, local, political, local, national, whatever it may be. And there's a kind of, I don't know, there's a kind of peace and tranquility and just accepting that and letting it go. I've been reading a lot of stoicism lately. Yeah, and it's helping you accept. Well, it's just, it's helpful to remind yourself of what you can and can't control.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Because if you obsess over and make yourself crazy and stressed out and anxious over shit that's beyond your control, what is that helping? Nothing. It's only giving you pain and suffering. Sure, but there's probably an argument to be made here that this is. You can still care about that. There's a global struggle here. Yes. And the idea of not knowing where to focus your efforts is. I'm saying that nobody out there should feel guilty for extricating themselves and just being like, you know what? I can't control it. You know, we all only have so much bandwidth
Starting point is 00:16:19 emotionally to deal with this kind of thing. And there's we're being fed a 24 7 stream of negativity and Bad shit. I mean, it's why what's his name from the office started some good news remember that? Yeah, yeah, and I also like I hate that fucking shit. I've hate it too. It's so tweey and like It kind of just feels like just bury your fucking head in the sand. Yeah come watch my dumb show. Yeah and He sold it for like millions of dollars through or something, right? Yeah, and then he did his bullshit like fucking CIA show and it's like the fuck out of your dog Christmas key Jack Jack Reacher. No, it's not Jack Reacher. Whatever the fuck. I don't know, Jack. Jack asshole. Oh no, it's Jack Meehaw. It's Jack.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Yeah. He went and did Jack Meehaw for a fucking destabilizes government or something. He's a dork. So anyway, that's all we got to say about that, right? I mean, so we wanted to continue, hey, you know what we can do? Me and you and me, we can do the show that we came here to do and oh god I like fucking where heroes. No, yes, we are I won't do the show heroes of Patriots We're we're more on to like to have a fun show. That's exactly right. We're a couple of bona fide idiots as I like to say and
Starting point is 00:17:41 I Think I feel a little bit shitty. Yeah, I feel shitty too. And I don't know. We're gonna have to see what happens really. I mean, we put together a little outline for today's show and we finished at about like five yesterday and then the world changed very quickly.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Yeah. And so I feel very silly talking about the national crypto enforcement team. Well, let's, well, the Department of Justice is launching the national crypto enforcement team. Well, but there are other things that we wanted to talk about that we can get to. Hey, so like what I wanted to, I added this in last night, the truckers in Canada thing is increasingly interesting to me because, whoa, you can't do that, you can't just throw shit in that I don't know about. It's, I just wanted to point out how- I don't want to talk about the fucking freedom convoy.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Is that what it's called? Spree-Covoy. I don't fucking know. It's, it's just an interesting display of left versus right switching sides on an ideology that It's just it's really funny because you had all the protests State side last year and was it last year or two years ago? What are you talking about black lives matter? Yeah, okay, you had all those protests and you had all the people on the right being like
Starting point is 00:19:03 Should just fall the law you can't be out there. That's why you're getting beaten up by the cops. You protestors like, I have no sympathy for you. And then now the sides have switched and you've got these truckers doing their like peaceful protest, quote unquote. And all the people on the right are like, look at these jack boot cop thugs.
Starting point is 00:19:23 They're just beating up on these like, they're just protesters and then you got people on the right are like, look at these jack boot cop thugs. They're just beating up on these, like they're just protesters. And then you got people on the left being like, good, kick their asses. Get them out of here. It's like you guys. Oh yeah? We're focusing on the wrong thing.
Starting point is 00:19:36 You got a bit, we're all politics is. You know, if I can channel my inter-Alex Jones conspiracy theorists right now, it's that yeah, the media and social media, it's really been perfectly executed where it's got all of us fighting each other when we really ought to be looking at the people in power. What Ben's trying to say is TikTok is a Chinese sayop. It's a sayop. It's to get, it's to get, it's to dumb down the use of America.
Starting point is 00:20:08 I'm not alone in that assertion. There's a TikTok that keeps getting passed around and keeps getting sent to me by friends. It's this comedian, I can't remember his name, but he points out, I mean, this is anecdotal, but he says that in China, the algorithm shows Chinese youth Cool shit like oh look what this engineer kid built and look at you know, what does doctors doing all stuff that
Starting point is 00:20:34 They would want their kids to aspire to Whereas here in America, it shows you know fucking dumb dances and just the dumbest shit To try to you know Which makes kids want to just be famous for stuff that's ultimately worthless to society Is it worthless to society did do cool dances? I Disagree I think that it is absolutely valuable because how are you gonna entertain the soldiers? Hmm because how are you gonna entertain the soldiers? Hmm. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Well, I'll take it again. I think that it is valuable to society because people gotta jerk off to something, man. There you go. There we go. It all comes back to jack-a-nail. It's all, I mean, really come is the lubricant that keeps the gears of the world spinning.
Starting point is 00:21:24 It definitely keeps the gears of trillionaire mindsets, man. That's certainly true. We got a pit team here just looving up the freaking gears. We should get a sponsorship by Fleshlight. No. No, you don't think so? Wow, sure. Remember when they were called, you know what, I just don't even wanna think so. Wow, sure.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Remember when they were called, you know what, I just don't even want to go there. Well, now I got to know. What was it called? Pocket pussy? Oh, are they still, are they not, I thought it was like a, not to bring it back to this again. I thought it was like a square rectangle thing where all fleshlides were pocketpits, but it's not all, not all pocketpits were fleshlides.
Starting point is 00:22:02 I really don't know, but I do know a guy who has one and is like, yeah, why would I ever be with a woman again when I can just fuck my fleshlight? I'm like, funny God damn. I do have a bumper sticker that says my fleshlight doesn't ask me any stupid questions. Oh God. But I put it on as a joke and now I can't get it off. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha It is our weapon against Russian imperialism. Yes.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Against Vladimir Putin. God, that fucking guy. I wanted to talk a little bit about Boeing, because we're kind of jumping around. I feel like the overarching theme of this is greed. You've got Russian greed, you've got corporate greed. I feel like the overarching theme of our show is corporate greed. Yeah, it's,, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:05 We talk about it a lot. We do, we certainly do. But the Boeing congressional greed. Yes. Um, our greed for more comments, more likes, more subscribers. More views. More views. More five star ratings.
Starting point is 00:23:18 Yes. For all of you out there who say, why doesn't the show have any more views? I don't know, why don't you ask yourself, why aren't you sharing it? Yeah, we're like a multi-level marketing fucking scheme. If you tell five of your friends about the trillionaire mindset, and they tell their five friends, that's 25 more people. Yeah, and for every...
Starting point is 00:23:33 Imagine if all of you did that. Yeah. All right, let's talk about Boeing, because we watched this documentary. Yeah, there's a great documentary on Netflix called... The case against Boeing. The case against Boeing. It's, there's a title too.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Like down down fall down or down fall or something. But Boeing, I love airplanes. Okay, shut up. I do. I love airplanes. I want to fly. I want to get my license eventually. I did a discovery flight, which is like the initial lesson years ago.
Starting point is 00:24:03 And it's just a very expensive hobby. It's like a $500 a month hobby because you gotta, you know, you have to maintain your skills. Yeah, it's called downfall, the case against Boeing. But it's really great. That's not so bad for planes. What?
Starting point is 00:24:17 $500 a month. Yeah, I mean, that's like the minimum. Oh, I mean, that's covering you for two hours of flying. Cause I really wanna do sailing. And it's so expensive, just to fucking like get out on the boat with them. It's a very elitist hobby of you. No, I want a little... Not very DSA. I want a little sailboat when the pandemic happened. I was thinking about sailing. No, buying a little sailboat to live on. And I want to get rid of everything and live on the sailboat because when the shit hits the fan Your shit's gonna be hitting the water when I'm gonna be fucking on the open waters, baby
Starting point is 00:24:51 Yeah, I'm like really excited about it. I think I think I thrive as long as there's a port for me to dock in Amen brother. I mean we should all be so lucky to have a nice snug port to dock But I'll tell you what I can get a nice one for like a couple hundred bucks. No. Oh, I meant the dock that you the part of the face. Well, then I met this guy in Hawaii. And he was telling me about how you can live. If you make friends with the guys, you can live without paying the port fees and everything. Interesting. Yeah. Well anyway Boeing is the...
Starting point is 00:25:27 The docky. Imagine me on a sailboat. I can see it. Living on it. I can fully see it. It's gonna be great. Yeah. Old Jack Sparrow over here.
Starting point is 00:25:38 The documentary is about the 737 max debacle. And debacle is putting it like... Just one more thing. I'm putting like one of those fucking hang boards on it. I'm just Out on the open see I get it you want to live on a sailboat I'm doing as many pull-ups and push-ups as I want. I'm I'm pulling myself up to I'm sorry Keep going in the ocean. I'm paying in the ocean. I'm cooking my little meals on the fucking stuff on a hot plate Yeah, yeah boy. Okay, you got anything else you want to add
Starting point is 00:26:06 about the sailboat? My hair is gonna look incredible. There's gonna be ocean water in my hair at all times. Uh huh. My body? It's gonna be tight as hell in hand. It's gonna be dark. It's gonna be tan like a fine Texas leather wallet.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Yep. Or belt. I think that's it. Okay, so. The Boeing thing, I wanted to sum it up. Boeing used to be- And the nice thing is, I would have to worry about planes. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Yes, yes. You wouldn't have to worry about planes. I'm sailing wherever. I'm just sailing wherever you go. I'm sorry, go ahead. So on that, I'm glad you just interrupted with that because flying on a Boeing airplane used to be considered one of the safest methods of travel. And the saying was, if it ain't Boeing, I ain't going.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Because Boeing was a company that was built and grown and run by engineers. Run by engineers. And safety was like their number one thing. If any of the quality assurance or inspectors found a problem, they were not only like supposed to bring it up, they were encouraged because safety at the end of the day. It was based in Seattle. It was an institution. Yes. No corners being cut. Yes.
Starting point is 00:27:20 What's it ever? But then you had a looming problem for Boeing, which was Airbus, the European rival, and they were slowly over the years, you know, Boeing's market share slowly is dropping as Airbus is going up. And then at a crucial point, you know, Airbus surpassed them. And I forgot how many years ago, I don't know, 10 years ago or something. Airbus introduces the A320neo airplane, which is like a short haul. It's a smaller body airplane, but it's fuel efficient and it can, it's, and that was the big thing. Yes, because airline is a ton of money.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Is there fueling fees? Yes. And so Boeing had nothing to compete with. They're like, okay, shit, we don't have 10 years that it would take to develop, design, test, all this shit. Can I add one thing that we're, of course? Are you gonna get to the merger? Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:28:17 So, yes. Boeing, I think in 97, merges with... McDonald Douglas. McDonald Douglas. McDonald Douglas. And it starts to turn the culture of the company more towards a, from the engineering base type of company to a Wall Street shareholder value focused company. Yes. And they move their headquarters from Seattle to Chicago to separate the money people from the engineers literally
Starting point is 00:28:48 They didn't want the engineers Causing problems right which is that sort of the seed for what would inevitably inevitably grow into the Bush so to speak right so the focus moves away from making the best airplanes in the world to making the most money. Yes. They're cutting corners. They're laying people off. They're going from multiple quality assurance people to like one. They're discouraging people from bringing up problems in like shit's getting left behind. There was one. I remember in the documentary, there was one test flight that went up and in the rear stabilizer, an entire like nine foot ladder had been left in there. And if it fell over and hit the jacks group, it would have fucked the plane.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Yeah. Crash the plane. Remember the hidden, there's a hidden security footage or not security. Someone brings in a camera and I think is wearing it and they don't know they have it. And the guy is talking to supervisor and he's saying that they they stopped doing quality checks on check it. Yeah, like holy shit. Holy fuck. Yeah Which is I mean, it's endemic of a bigger problem this cutting corners that will get get to but so back to the a320 neo airbuses
Starting point is 00:30:20 airplane Boeing had the You know rather ingenious idea, okay, we can't design, build, and implement an entirely new aircraft because it wouldn't be prudent for our business because in that time we're going to lose even more market share to Airbus. Well, and there's shareholders to answer to. And there's the element of when you do that, you have to, it includes a lot of costly pilot training. Yes. And if you say it's, oh, it's just the same plane, it won't require any more pilot training.
Starting point is 00:30:54 They don't have to invest in all that and spend a lot of time. Airlines don't. Yeah, they airlines don't. Yeah. So what they did was they took the existing workhorse of the Boeing fleet, which was the 737. For those of you who don't know, if you've ever flown Southwest, it's a 737. It's just like they can fly multiple, they're just, they're the workhorse. They've been around forever. They've been around forever. Yes, it was like their biggest best selling airplane, not biggest, but their best selling
Starting point is 00:31:20 air. But the biggest was the 747, which is the Air Force one airplane. So what they did was, hey, we're going to take this existing model, oh, and also in addition to what you said, all of that would require FAA approval and all sorts of safety shit. But so, hey, what we're going to do instead, we're going to take this existing model of airplane that's already got all the approvals and all the shit, all the pilots are already familiar with it. We're going to put on a slightly bigger engine that is more fuel efficient, and that's gonna be it.
Starting point is 00:31:49 We're gonna rebrand, basically, we're gonna rebrand this existing thing. And we'll call it the 737 max. Right, and we're gonna sell it to airlines as being fiercely competitive to the A320 Neo, and best of all, you're gonna have support Europeans. Oh, no, no, sorry, what were you gonna say? You don't have to retrain your pilots. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Neo and best of all, you're gonna have support Europeans. Oh, no, no, sorry, what were you gonna say?
Starting point is 00:32:06 You don't have to retrain your pilots. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Those filthy French, you know, they're not gonna get any your money also, Airbus is a French come. Ha, ha, ha, ah, ah, ah, no. Would you like to take a flight on my Airbus? We have a day away from my girlfriend. We have baguettes and one time I was in French Canada, Quebec,
Starting point is 00:32:27 and we were on a ski trip, and a bunch of us were there. So we all had different hotel rooms, and you know, we knew each other's hotel rooms. Remember you could type in the room number, and it would connect you? Yeah. Still scan, but sure.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Actually, I tried recently and I couldn't do it. Well, but maybe it was just that hotel but So we were all hanging out and then we were gonna go We're gonna go out so everyone kind of went back to their rooms to like shower and get ready and I would back to my room It's just me and my friends staying in the room and so we're getting we're like shower and getting ready and our phone rings in the Hotel room and I was like who could possibly be calling our hotel room? And so I pick it up, and it's like, it's some French guy. He goes, you know, a barge of amazing men,
Starting point is 00:33:12 and I said, oh, English, I'm sorry, I don't speak French, he goes, my apologies, and I said, what's going on? And he was like, we have received a couple of complaints, and I was like, complaints about what? And he was like, they are noise complaints. And I was like, noise complaints. It's just me and my friend shower.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Like when I'm playing music. And he was like, ah, I did not receive the complaints. Let me check the book. And I was like, what in the fuck is going on? And so he takes a second and then he goes, ah, yes, I have the complaints right here. It says your next door neighbor here, yes, yes, he'll fuck me like a dog and then headboard slam into wall.
Starting point is 00:33:43 And I said, are you out of your mind and Then I just hear the entire room erupt in laughter and apprentice goes, I mean, let's joe you idiot That's a good prank. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, a fuck me like a dog Anyway Anyway, that's a good little story. So Boeing basically was bullshitting the whole time because the bigger engine meant that structurally the plane did have to change a little bit. They had to mount the engine a little further forward on the plane, which changes the functionality of it.
Starting point is 00:34:32 One of the things that they implemented was a software program called MCAS, which stands for, I believe, movement, yeah, movement characteristics augmenting system. And what that did was the plane was at risk of stalling if it went if the angle of attack was too high. So this MCAS system would kick in and try to correct it and correct it by lowering the nose. But what Boeing didn't do was tell anybody that that was a new thing. That they even had the system on the plane.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Yes, because in doing so, it would require pilot training, which would cost airlines money, which would put them at risk for losing some of the orders that they got in for the plane because the plane sold record amounts of units of planes. I think like, I don't know, 4,000 or something. But so then inevitably, so they fucking knew the thing is they knew. Oh, there's fucking emails, meeting numbers.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Them just fully admitting that they're just gonna hide it. And they're not gonna tell anyone that they're doing it. They're even gonna rebrand it within like the fucking the book, the manual, calling it something else entirely. It's just, it's truly vital. Right. It would be called the MCAS in internal reports. Yes.
Starting point is 00:35:57 And then outside, it would be called like trim stabilizer. Trim is the tail stabilizer basically. So to jump ahead, what happens is a lion air lion air at a Jakarta crash crashes into the ocean. They start blaming pilot error. Bowing does yeah, bowing and then they recover. Black the black boxes. There's two and they're actually orange. Why don't they make the whole thing at the black. and they're actually orange.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Why don't they make the whole thing at the blackboard? Well, they may, yeah. Cause it's not light enough and it's not fucking shut up. That's a good joke though. Yeah, it is. It is. Steven right. So they recover all the flight data
Starting point is 00:36:38 and it reveals what? That the MCAS system started pushing the nose down and the pilots had no idea why. Yeah. And it eventually crashes. And this is when the MCAS thing first comes out. And pilots from the FAA, commercial pilots, everyone's going, what the fuck is M-CAS? No one has any idea what the fuck it is. And so Boeing says that, well, even if it was M-CAS, the pilots should have known what to do, but these pilots had no training on M-CAS. And they convince everyone that the 737 Max is safe.
Starting point is 00:37:23 They don't get grounded. And then I think it's like 19 weeks later, a second plane goes down. This one's Ethiopian air. And it's the same thing. And this time, the pilots knew about the MCAS thing and I think they did everything right. They turned off the MCAS system
Starting point is 00:37:41 and they still couldn't recover the airplane. Yeah, because by that time, the nose down had them going way too fast for them to be able to recover. They didn't have enough altitude to recover. Right. And just, I mean, basically Boeing and it's, it's just, it's fucking gross in sickening because I remember the stock, it broke to new all-time highs because it's like the 737 max was this great plane that was gonna revolution, just gonna bring in all sorts of profits and all this shit. And then only to find out that it was the product
Starting point is 00:38:25 of corporate greed and chasing, it's, sorry, I'm having a hard time articulating this. It's basically, it's one of the nastiest sides of this whole thing is the pursuit of ever higher returns to appease the markets. And then watching them trot out the CEO is just the most frustrating thing of like, they've got these, honestly remind me of why I was so
Starting point is 00:38:51 frustrating to talk to Vlad of like, they've, you know, market tested their responses. And they're like, this is the perfect way to make sure the, you know, the value of the stock will be stabilized and we'll say all the right things. And it's really disgusting to watch. Yeah, it really is. And I'll tell you what, I was watching, you know, you're watching the documentary and you're going, well, what the fuck is going to happen in the end here?
Starting point is 00:39:19 Like, they've proven that, you know, this is criminal. And what do you think happens at the end? They all go to jail, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. The CEO steps down. And what did he get? Get a nice little $62 million payout. Ooh, good for him. Well, you got to be compensated for weathering the store. Oh, of course. Of course. It's $62 million. Yes, that's commensurate with his duties. And then Boeing avoids criminal prosecution by paying $2.5 billion.
Starting point is 00:39:56 That's just the cost of doing business, baby. Hey, baby, sorry your family died. Sorry your fucking daughter died. Sorry everybody died. We fucked up, but nobody's gonna go to jail. Hey, nobody's gonna have to face any consequences, but the company that can afford dishing out two and a half billion dollars
Starting point is 00:40:12 from their coffers, eh, it's just a drop in the bucket for a little old Boeing. Yeah, so the end was pretty unsatisfying. I mean, I don't know what else I expected. I mean, that's the thing. I felt naive watching it going like, holy shit, this is gonna, everyone's fucked. And then you're like, wait, I know how this ends.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Yeah, and just when I felt the safest I've ever felt applying commercial, it just, it inserts a healthy amount of fear and skepticism for me, that like, oh, you shouldn't just trust companies to do the right thing. There's always, oh, God, it's, well, I think that's what's frustrating to the idea of this like, naivete, and I think, there's a reporter, David Suerota,
Starting point is 00:40:57 and he reports on a lot of corruption. And he was getting very frustrated because he would release these big reports. And instead of getting the traction that he thought it would of people going like, oh my God, we do something about it. People's responses were almost like duh. Like what do you fucking think?
Starting point is 00:41:18 Like everyone's corrupt. And I think that's what sucks is the acceptance of the you just go, yeah, that's just how it fucking works, man. Yeah. And it's, it's fucking brutal. Kind of like Mr. Smith goes to Washington. I've never seen it, but I imagine he, he basically, he, he learns at the end,
Starting point is 00:41:38 this is just the way the system is and it sucks and it's broken and there's nothing you can do. Right, I think sometimes I feel stupid, we do this show and we go like, can you fucking believe they're doing it or everyone's going? Yeah. I mean, I think the only effective thing is it's a word that rhymes with bus pass bin mation.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Hmm, that doesn't rhyme. Does it have two sweet juicy asses in it? It does have two sweet juicy asses in it. Anyway. Like I'll tell you what? What? You know I'm a fan of S. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:11 S. In nation. In this nation? I'm a fan of S. Two times. Hey, speaking of S, you know what should be privatized? According to some?
Starting point is 00:42:22 The moon! The moon, baby. Yeah, let's put a Mickey D's up there. This one's a this one's a fun one, huh? Yeah. So this is the Adam Smith Institute. They are a psycho as the sounds. They are a, you know, I respected think tank in the UK. They were very big in Margaret Thatcher's administration and pushing for the privatization of a lot of public utilities and they now are under the impression that in order to solve world poverty.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Oh right, that's what it is. We need to parcel up the moon, give it to certain nations and have them rented out to businesses. Yeah, baby, let's go. Let's go. Who's gonna work on the moon? Because you're gonna need workers. You're gonna have to live up there. I'll do it.
Starting point is 00:43:12 You'll do it? No. I'm gonna be on my fucking sailboat. Don't have, and I'm gonna put on the bag. Don't hassle me. I'm watching Colombo. The moon's for suckers. Fuck the moon. I'm gonna download every, download every Colombo episode So I don't have to rely on weepy. I want to go to the moon and be the first guy to litter
Starting point is 00:43:31 Yeah, there you go a litter on the moon. That should say I mean littering into space who truly gives a fuck Maybe space people face people but seriously, why don't we just hey Elon Musk? You want to solve some world problems? Why don't you put all the garbage on a rocket and blast it into the other. Wait, speaking of Elon Musk, you know what, it's funny. What? Did you see that? Like, this goes along with that. The moon privatizing the moon. Did you see it, but it's probably in like September or something, but SpaceX is working on space billboards for advertisements.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Awesome. And it's awesome. You got to monetize space. That's what's so funny. It's like, God, damn, you're talking about saving humanity. And you're like, we need to get everyone off earth. But they're like, guys, like advertising is a big priority for us. If we're going to get out of here, we need billboards.
Starting point is 00:44:22 We need to advertise for dick pills because having a boner in your graph is hard. How it's even a thought. Yeah. Well, buddy, that's capitalism at work. That's your capitalism at work. That's what a big part of this, you know, privatizing the moon, I think, you know, right now there is a UN treaty that says,
Starting point is 00:44:41 it's like the outer space treaty from 1967 that says nobody owns the outer space. Yeah, no one can own private property. And I think as we're getting closer and we're talking about space billboards and stuff, these things are like, is this such a good idea? I feel like maybe we should start carving up space and letting people own it. I got a moon story for you. So it can be about your ass.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Yes it is. It is going to be about my ass. So let me paint a picture for you. Why are you doing that? I'm stroking the mic. I don't like it. I'm just stroking. Is it because I'm using two fingers?
Starting point is 00:45:18 It's just gross. Okay, here. So, paint a picture for you. I'm 19 years old. I got long hair. I'm about 40 pounds lighter than this. I'm wearing flip flops. It's the second day of school, city college,
Starting point is 00:45:30 long beach city college. I'm walking from class to the parking lot with my two buddies. And, you know, it's the beginning of a new semester. Everybody's bummed because school's back in session and whatnot. And we walk past the gymnasium, and the door is open to the gym. And I look inside and I see the entire Long Beach City College
Starting point is 00:45:51 women's volleyball team sitting there with their backs to the door, looking at coach, coach is talking to them, right? All right. I walk past it and I think to myself, man, we got a bolster some spirits here. I need a little pick me up. So I asked my friends, hey, you guys, should I go back there in moon, the volleyball team?
Starting point is 00:46:14 And they said, yes, you should. It didn't go exactly like that. I was like, hey, should I go moon the volleyball team? And they're like, oh, you're good, dude. So I hand them my little spiral notebook, and I said, here, hold on, and I hoist up my pants, and I run up to the door. I say, hey ladies, and I pull down my pants,
Starting point is 00:46:32 and I moon them. And then I chuckle to myself, and I trot back to my buddies as I'm pulling back up my pants. And then I see the look of smiles on their faces change to like, uh oh. And I turn around and the women's volleyball team is pouring out of the gym, frantically looking for me. They see me and they run over to me and they grab me.
Starting point is 00:46:56 A couple of them grab me. Did a bunch of women beat the sherdadio? They did not, but they did. One grabbed me and said, coach didn't like that. And I said, I'm panicking. I'm like having flashes in my head of having to register as a sex offender and I fucking you know I break free and I just start sprinting in my flip flops. I dropped one, one fell off my foot and I stupidly bent over to like I stopped bent back to pick it up. And then the one remaining flip flop, I just like curled my toes as hard as,
Starting point is 00:47:27 are you okay? You keep doing these two fingers, I'm like, fucking disgusting. Okay, I won't do it with my fingers. God, okay. I curled up my toes and I just, I galloped like a damn Impala. Impala.
Starting point is 00:47:44 I was just, I was off and I did not look back. I was a cigarette smoker back then. I was a pot head and I out ran them. They gave up pretty quickly because they're like, what are we gonna do? Chase this guy. But I run all the way to the parking lot and just, just my luck, that one fateful day,
Starting point is 00:48:02 I didn't drive to school. My buddy had driven me to school, one of the guys that I was walking with, and he drives a very discernible truck. He's got stickers on it and all the shit. Don't hassle me, I'm watching Colombo. He's got stickers, he's saying don't hassle me, I'm watching Colombo. And I'm waiting in the parking lot for what feels like an eternity for him to catch up. And in runs alone woman, and I didn't know it at the time, but it happens to be the
Starting point is 00:48:31 coach. The coach did not give up and chased me all the way into the parking lot. She didn't see me until she did see me hop into my friend's truck and drive away. A week later, the cops are waiting for my friend at his truck. And they intimidate him. They put him in handcuffs. They put him on the hood of the car to scare him and tell him, basically, give us your friend's name or you're getting like expelled from school. Cops are insane. I tell us who moved them. Listen up, fucko. The pepper's freedom. But he calls me right after they
Starting point is 00:49:07 let him go and he said, I'm so sorry man, I had to do it. I'm like, what are you talking about? He told me the whole thing that the cops, you know, did that. And I'm panicking. I'm like, Oh, fuck, oh God. Oh, shit. And I tell my dad, I'm like, dad, I gotta tell you something. I'm moon the women's volleyball team. I
Starting point is 00:49:23 know, I know, it's awesome. But Brian told the cops on me and he had to and my dad's like, my dad goes into dad mode. He's like, okay, I know what to do. And he calls like his lawyer friend who gives him advice, hangs up at the lawyer and he says, you need to call the dean of the school right now, immediately, and admit to what you did.
Starting point is 00:49:44 And I called, it was too late. The dean had already been told my name by the school police, but I went basically I got suspended from city college for a moaning. I got a week long suspension, but the best part is about a month later when the monthly LBCC Viking newspaper issue came out, there was an article about me. No way. Can you read the headline? Team Chase's loot. A 19 year old man exposed himself to the holy shit that the Vikings women's volleyball team in the small gym after their practice Tuesday, August 21st. Volley player, Alyssa Aindo, who shared a geography class with the man.
Starting point is 00:50:26 Said it happened right after practice. We were sitting in our circle talking and some guy said, hey, Carl. So we turned around and he moond us. Yeah, Jesus. I think at one point they even got a hold of him. I wish they beat this shit out of you. Yeah, I probably deserved it. Um, I think you would have taught you a lesson. I'll tell you what this guy he's insane. I wake up this morning. I have a video Oh, in a fucking group chat I'm in with Ben and it says Ben says did you guys see this and so I clicked the video It's him completely naked Running around as a part, we're going, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Yeah, that's true. I'll tell you what, I could have avoided those if you, uh... Yeah, but you know what, you replied in the group chat. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. It did make me laugh. It did make you laugh. So, you know, we all need a little laugh. Sometimes you gotta show your naked body to...
Starting point is 00:51:21 But I'm just looking to kick the shit out of you after this. Ha, ha, ha. I deserve it. Okay. So anyway, I'm just looking to kick the shit out of you after this. I deserve it. Okay. So anyway, I just thought I would share that fun bit of history about me that I- Yeah, no, that's definitely related to the moon. Yeah. Team Chase's Lude Suspect.
Starting point is 00:51:36 So my friends called me the Lude Suspect for a long time. Right. Anyway, okay. JP Morgan's the first Wall Street bank to announce presence in the metaverse. Who fucking care? Who? They've got a portrait of Jamie Diamond and a roaming tiger. What the fuck does that have to do with banking?
Starting point is 00:51:58 The roaming tiger. It looks like a PlayStation 1 game. Yeah, it looks really bad. It almost makes me believe in the possibility of the metaverse because I can imagine us looking back on this 10 years from now and being like, wow, remember how shitty it looked? Isn't Jamie Diamond also pretty vocal about
Starting point is 00:52:16 like not like Encrypto and stuff? Yes. Kind of against Web 3. But he's also kind of made him, he's also kind of resigned himself to the fact that, hey, it is what it is and I can't stop it. And we like money. But he's also kind of made him so he's also kind of resigned himself to the fact that hey It is what it is and I can't stop it. We like money. Yeah, and we like money at the end of you know they launched a coin JP Morgan did JP M coin JPM got the fuck out of here. I swear Google JPM coin. Well, I believe it
Starting point is 00:52:40 We don't need to go fuck you wait Google it scroll down there. There was a reply to this tweet that I think it was yeah this guy Simon Willison says in Response to JP to JP Morgan being the first bank in the metaverse. He says not the first APN AMRO bank IGN group I&G group in Wells Fargo all had a presence in second life 15 years ago to which I say shut the fuck up nerd shut the fuck up Shut the fuck up nerd nobody asked you
Starting point is 00:53:13 You fucking door and then he links to the businesses and organizations in second life Wikipedia Who would have thought we'd need to Wikipedia for that? Yeah, well This I I don't think that this metaverse shit is gonna really catch on. I think it's gonna be a big flop. They've tried and tried and tried and tried. It's just, it ain't gonna happen, man. Try telling that to Mark... Zuckercorn?
Starting point is 00:53:36 I almost said Wallberg. Mark Zuckerberg. I will try to tell that. I wish Mark Wallberg was behind the metaverse. Good luck getting him to talk. Hey, welcome to the Metaverse. It's pretty good. I'm the one fighting.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Does it tie good? Walking around? I'm the one fighting? I'm the one fighting, not you, not you and not you. That's from what movie? The fighter? Oh yeah. Remember everyone's trying to give him advice?
Starting point is 00:54:00 Yeah. That was actually a good movie. Yeah, I haven't seen it. Mark Wahlberg should take over the metaverse. Uh, there's Wahlbergers on every corner. That dude is psycho. He wakes up at like 2.30 a.m. to exercise, then prays for an hour. Also, you want to get into crypto corner?
Starting point is 00:54:16 Let's do a little cryptic. Wait, we got some time here. People beep. Crypto corner. So everyone saw all the Super Bowl ads, right? Yeah. Crypto made a huge push. A huge So, everyone saw all the Super Bowl ads, right? Crypto made a huge push. A huge splash for a crypto at the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:54:30 I also love all the ads that are like making it seem like... There's one specific ad that's going through all the technology. And it has Larry David as a naysayer. I find it very frustrating because I think there's probably a lot of people who are like, yeah, like if you haven't seen the ad, basically someone goes through the wheel. And Larry David is there as like a fucking caveman or something. And he's like, it'll never take off. And then they do like the toilet.
Starting point is 00:55:04 And he's like, what are you guys stupid? No one's gonna shit in a toilet and then it's like fucking Dornocracy or something and yeah What's another one the portable music player the portable music player you're gonna be looking for batteries and I find it very fucking annoying Because they're all bad analogies, because when these things came out, regardless of whether or not you thought I was going to take off, the utility was apparent. Yeah. Right?
Starting point is 00:55:33 You could be like, no, it's going to use a toilet, but I can look at it and go, oh yeah, I just sit down and take a shit. I get it. I could drink out of it. And we are now, what, 15 years into crypto and people are still trying to prove that it's useful. Yeah. And they're doing the whole, the whole basis of the commercial is FOMO. Yeah, don't miss out like Larry.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Don't miss out like Larry. He was shitting outside. Do you want to shit outside? Yeah, you stupid. You fucking moron. You dumb idiot. So I think that pisses me off. Yeah. Like with anything, you know?
Starting point is 00:56:08 Yeah. There might have been people who like when the iPhone came out, maybe there wasn't. But I'm sure there were some people who were like, this is stupid, people are not going to want this. I was. Were you right? I pod when the iPod came out. I was like, I want to, because I had just bought a Sony mini disc player and they were
Starting point is 00:56:23 so cool, but so impractical right so fucking impractical, but with the iPhone Yeah, it's obvious. It was very new, right? But no one looked at it and went what the hell am I gonna do with that? Yeah Well, so coinbase had their QR code ad that really raised a A lot of few eyebrows. I'm trying to talk about it like it's a Yahoo Finance clip. But then there was some drama online because apparently the CFO.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Well, crypto bro is gonna crypto bro. Yeah. And they like to think of themselves as innovators. They are as edgy. They are. Itty-established. They are. envelope pushers. Yeah. New frontiersmen. Yeah. They certainly are. And so they, you know, trailblazers. So he's he's talking about coin bases brilliant ad where if you haven't seen it, there's a coin-based QR code bouncing around the screen.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Like one of those old DVD screens, that's all it is. That's all it is. And you can put your phone on and you can go to coin-base. Yeah. But they took credit for it. Yeah, and they said, some folks asked for details of how our Super Bowl ad came to be.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Here's the quick backstory. We don't need to read all this. Well, just the first part. Yeah. We thought it not knowing, we bought it not knowing what we would do. Initially, an outside agency pitched this bunch of standard Super Bowl ad ideas. I didn't like any of them. Standard Super Bowl ads tend to be gimmicky. Celebrity cameo-driven, going for a laugh, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:57:56 It was actually inspired. Oh, wait. Oh, so yeah. He's basically talking about how, you know, they came up with it and they didn't want to go with the traditional ad agency route. And then much like crypto itself, they are not traditionalists and they're pioneers and trailblazers. They don't need any of the old guard to make an effective Super Bowl ad, but lo and behold, the ad agency that apparently pitched the QR code ad responded to him on Twitter and said, actually, our agency pitched you that idea, shit bird. And then you guys just did it. Yeah, and then you just fucking took it.
Starting point is 00:58:28 And then it got very weird from there. They stepped in and said, no, it was actually another agency that pitched us. Yeah, we actually fucked up a different agency. And then he went on to thank Accenture or somebody. Yeah, fucking cares. Yeah, who fucking cares at the end of the day? Coinbase.
Starting point is 00:58:45 CoinBUT, if you ask me. Yeah, done. You done, son. And then you had open sea. So open seas got a lot going on. They got to some. There are probably. They have admitted to a lot of the like the people using their minting tool. They admitted to a lot of the people using their minting tool. They admitted that 80% of the people using those were fakes, frauds, spam, people taking art from things like deviant art, for example, and then just putting it on Coinbase and selling it willingly.
Starting point is 00:59:19 Right. They also had a huge leak. Millions of dollars worth of NFTs nabbed. Yeah in particular. Let's see what was stolen. Oh you had You had a couple gleepe gloppers stolen some dude wait We I do want to pull up the Twitter cuz ham it. I was trying to make a joke It's you don't even have to do the joke. I know cuz it's like the joke is the tweet itself. The tweet about the what was taken. What was taken. I kept I read it like a hundred times
Starting point is 00:59:49 because I was like, this feels like they're doing a bit. Yeah. No, no, just the week we can see right there. Yeah, for a grand total of $750 and gas. Thanks, I'm paid. No, to purchase and scooped four zukies, two cool man's, two doodles, two Kajukings, one MYC, one cool cat, and one BAYC. That's the MAYC is the Mutant Ape Yacht Club.
Starting point is 01:00:15 When the BAYC is the board APYacht Club, and what happens with that is if you have a board ape and then you buy an NFT of some radioactive sludge, the ape drinks the sludge. Is that what happens? And becomes a mutant. No fucking way. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:31 And then, but if you own the unique code, then you own the ape. I keep just thinking about how fucking stupid it is. Well, just some guy. And now dumb we are from this and now on it. Just some guy having to explain to his wife, like, our picture of the ape got, like, just sit down,
Starting point is 01:00:52 the azuki's are, that they're gone. And she's like, is it what anything else? And he's like, yeah, the cool man. The cool man's. They got the fucking cool man's. Please don't tell me that the doodles got taken too. Now the doodles are gone too Look you're not gonna love this the cool cat god fuck
Starting point is 01:01:14 How are we gonna so forward Billy's private school tuition at least we've got the mutant ape yacht club still right okay sit down Okay, sit down. No, no, no, honey. I don't want you to go back to work. I feel bad, I don't know. It's also, I don't know what they're going to do. The open season, a tough spot. Every time they, so they're the number one exchange for this kind of stuff.
Starting point is 01:01:42 And every time it's hard for them to attract new customers because new customers understand that this kind of thing can happen and keeps happening. And so people don't want to get in. And so when they try to regulate and put a new, you know, You know, Picks is yeah, they end up pissing off their current base. So they put in a you know, they put in a New regulation that said you can only mint a certain amount of NFTs or whatever. You used to be unlimited and Everyone freaked the fuck out and you know, they used to actually have an approval process before they blew up
Starting point is 01:02:25 I think they actually blew up after the beep-hole sold at Christie's for like 69 million or whatever. Open-C removed that approval process. G, I wonder if that was driven by like greed and wanting to- No, come on, Ben. No, well, I mean, it's possible. Not saying that they did, but it's certainly possible. That's not fair. Because I mean, this whole thing is just about the art.
Starting point is 01:02:45 At the end of the day, it's just about good art. But so they're in a really tough spot. If they try to address the problems, their current base freaks out. But with all these problems, they can't really expand their base. I don't know what to do. Now they're being, I mean, it's very new. The complaint was just filed, but they're being sued by some guy like Timothy McKimmy for a very rare ape that he had.
Starting point is 01:03:12 It was listed on someone was able to access his NFT and then listed for .01E and acquire it. And it's worth millions. It's in the top 14% of rarity. So, but I'm very, I really wanna see this case play out. I don't think it will. I was reading, I think they have like a forced arbitration clause and I love me in FAC and but I would love to see them naked. I would love to see this man naked, the owner of this very rich. No, I would love to see them
Starting point is 01:03:59 having to, you know, call witnesses and get testimony about the value of this fucking thing. I think it'd be very fun to see them explaining to a judge. They're dumb little cartoon monkey. Yeah. And I think it was filed in Texas. I think it would be very fun to see the a Texas judge. Well, howdy, y'all. Listen to someone tell him how valuable his,
Starting point is 01:04:33 I mean, if there's a jury, you're gonna have to explain to a jury what the fucking NFT is. Yeah. Why it's so valuable, why does picture of an ape is valuable? Sure. Well, it's because it's a unique. It's a unique
Starting point is 01:04:46 Fucking code that gives you access to the image. Yeah, it's inherently it's easy to explain and that's why it's so speaking of NFTs you know who's getting who's just going all out into it is Reese Witherspoon. Oh, yeah I got this back at it. I just want everyone to appreciate this headline. Reese Witherspoons, Hello Sunshine, World of Women, partner to adapt NFTs into movies, TV shows. To that, I just have to say, what? How? What? The fuck? What? Does that? What is any of that mean? Imagine imagine explain turn explain that to a pilgrim You transport yourself back and you go hey Reese withers
Starting point is 01:05:35 I think that's the least here concerns. They're saying why are you dressed like that? Yeah, yeah They're saying you're probably tied to a stake and starting to get cooked at that point when you're saying, yeah, but we spent the Spudelo Sunshine partnered with World of Women. It's actually a really big deal. It's a super valuable company. I think she just sold it for like a billion dollars. Oh man, I can't wait to see the green one.
Starting point is 01:05:56 I can't wait to see a show about the green one. Man, so what the fuck are they gonna do with this? Make it look, there's a lot here, Ben. You can see this one has 3d Glasses on so she's clearly got some kind of cool powers and It's gonna be fucking big dude. It's also all about gender parity in the NFT space. It's not just You know TV shows and movies and unscripted what the fuck isn't unscripted show about NFTs? Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:06:27 What do they all live in a house? And it's the real world NFTs time? NFTs house. NFTs house. When things start getting real, it's all, this is all just, I just wanna, but they're also gonna be having live events to get more women into the NFT space.
Starting point is 01:06:45 I understand and appreciate what to make the space more inclusive. I think that that is essential, but this just feels asinine. What I'd like to say to that is, can you show the other link? What Reece doesn't understand is that, you know, women are already getting in the space.
Starting point is 01:07:08 What do you mean, Emil? Who else, what other famous woman has gotten into the space? So, Lana Rhodes. Who is Lana Rhodes? A well-known porn star. Oh! Has launched her own NFT project last month. So maybe move out of the way, Reese Witherspoon.
Starting point is 01:07:21 And it's gone great. We're so happy to have women in the space and cleaning up the NFT ecosystem because the idea raised one and a half million dollars promising a profitable investment and it was all going swimmingly until Lana Roads quit the NFT project and vanished with the money and yet another NFT fraud. Basically, from my understanding is that Lana had sold these NFTs at different tiers with promises of, you know, you can meet and greets and all that shit. And to no one's surprise, a bunch of, I can probably a bunch of weirdos bottom and there was a discord and stuff.
Starting point is 01:08:00 And I don't blame her at all. She got creeped out and pieced out with the money. Good for her. I say good for her.ced out with the money. Good for her. I say good for her. Good for her? Yes. Good for her. A fool in his money are soon separated.
Starting point is 01:08:12 I mean, it is tough. I was reading some of the complaints and one guy was like, I had $6,000 to my name and I spent $4,000 on these. Now what am I supposed to do? I have children and it's like, what you were supposed to do is not spend it on the fucking porn star NFT, man.
Starting point is 01:08:27 I don't know. Yeah. And I want to know, was he doing it because he thought it was a good investment? Or because he wanted access to like meet and greets and shit? Maybe a little bit of both, huh? A boob. Okay, no, that's this.
Starting point is 01:08:39 My F and God. I hope Reese Witherspoon rips everyone off. I think that'd become. Me too, that'd be killer. Just, she's like selling access to her book clubs with NFTs. Yeah. And then she just moves to fucking name a country.
Starting point is 01:08:58 Cause I can't do it. Barbados. She moves to Barbados. Yeah. Barbados is tight. I've been there. Have you? Yeah. I swam in front of Rihanna's house. She wasn't like I it's a public beach. So you can just swim there. I
Starting point is 01:09:13 peed in the ocean in front of Rihanna's house. Damn right I did. Most delicious food. I've it was some of the most delicious food I've ever had in Barbados. What's it like? Dirt cheap, just like fresh fish, rice, macaroni and cheese. It's amazing. Super nice people. Yeah. When did you go? I went a few years ago. Just for fun.
Starting point is 01:09:34 My Australian roommate needed to renew his visa. And one of the fastest places you could get it done, you could go to Canada and take like two weeks, or you could go to Barbados and get it done in a day. So he was like, hey mate, you wanna go down to Barbados? What do you mean? I was like, yeah, let's do it. That's sick.
Starting point is 01:09:49 Yeah, it was cool. I wish I had a reason to go. And we rented a car, and he drove it. Cause they drive on the right side there, or on the left side, whatever. And he drove on the other side. I didn't have to do shit. Was it weird?
Starting point is 01:10:05 It was a little surreal, it was strange. We drank coconut water straight out of the coconut. That's the best. There were monkeys, little monkeys walking around on the place where we were and they were eating fruit off. No Barbados had monkeys. Yeah, I don't remember what kind, but it was all around cool.
