Starting point is 00:00:00 The body of an Obama staffer was found on the Obama's property. This is their chef. It is presumed to be an accident, but this story is big. And of course, the conspiracy theories are already coming out. But, you know, we don't need to entertain the actual conspiracies, but we can talk about them at the very least. And just generally give you the news on the story because it actually is really, really big. People are wondering what happened, how it happened, and why his chef
Starting point is 00:00:28 was presumably paddleboarding in a pond near his estate. We got other really big news. This one's crazy. Twitter is gone. It is now X. There's still remnants of Twitter. The app is still called Twitter in many places, but on the actual website, on the browser version, the Twitter bird is gone. It's an X now,
Starting point is 00:00:43 and they're slowly changing the title. Many of the employees are now saying x instead of twitter elon musk says they're no longer called tweets they're called x which just doesn't work you can't speak it so i don't know his plan is there but uh exciting stuff nonetheless he's going to be transforming twitter into the everything app which has horrifying implications if you ask me considering the ai that they're going to be integrating. I do think there's a lot of good that can come from this. I do generally like what Elon Musk does, but it's going to get interesting. And then we've got a whole bunch more news.
Starting point is 00:01:11 New evidence implicating Joe Biden being on phone calls, according to testimony from Devin Archer with Hunter and Hunter's associates. So, okay. And then we've got a story coming out about a man who has, I guess, super COVID. They're calling it MERS. And some people believe this could be what leads to another lockdown. Who knows? An election is coming up.

Starting point is 00:02:51 I'm back. Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Dave Lando. Hey, how are you, sir? I'm really great, actually. Good. All patched up. That's what I heard.
Starting point is 00:02:59 You went down to Mexico. I went down to Tijuana. And they fixed up your hip? Yeah. You just took one kidney? Yeah, only one. Which is good. It's a fair trade.
Starting point is 00:03:08 I ended up getting spared the surgery. This was fantastic. Shout out to the Cellular Performance Institute. Y'all may have heard of them on Joe Rogan. Eddie Bravo was talking about it. And I went down there because if I did not, I would have only just gotten my MRI a couple days ago. I'd still be waiting for the follow-up consultation. Insane. I go
Starting point is 00:03:27 down there on day one, x-rays, blood work, MRI, and the long story short of it is I did not need to get surgery, which is a huge relief. That's awesome. I have a physical in June of 2026, so I'm excited about it. It takes forever. Dude, seriously, they're like four months from now, every time I call them, like,
Starting point is 00:03:43 why is it? Alright, great. I four months from now. Every time I call them, like, why is it? All right, great. I hope this isn't cancer what I found. I'm in an Uber and the Mexican guy is just like, Americans are always coming down here for medical care. And I'm like, unsurprising. It's crazy, right? That's why they tell you that they just behead you at the border. They just try to tell you that. They're like, the second you get here, cartel, you're dead.
Starting point is 00:04:02 It's actually the opposite. What I'm told is the cartels protect you. Really? Yeah, rich Americans come to Tijuana. They don't want to lose that money. No. So there are crazy stories about locals who will rob a tourist, and then the cartels find out who did it,
Starting point is 00:04:15 and let's just say it doesn't go well for those people. Oh, that's awesome. Look, American tourists need to be safe and feel safe. If word gets out that you're not safe in these cities, they lose all that money. They're not fans of that of that so go back to sandals that's what you're saying go i to you on it was amazing man it was it was really i haven't been there in 20 years honestly and it was really fun the last time i went i gotta be honest some of the best would have ever tasted in my life oh too crazy but uh who are you what do you do i think everybody knows
Starting point is 00:04:39 you i'm a comic i uh have a new shoot new show World. Ian's been on it. And yeah, check it out. It's on The Blaze, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 10 p.m. Eastern. And yeah, that's about it. And my schedule, DaveLando.com. Awesome. Well, thanks for hanging out. We've also got Hannah Clare Brimelow. Hi, I'm still here.
Starting point is 00:04:56 I'm Hannah Clare Brimelow. I'm a writer for TimCast.com. I'm so happy to be here with all of you. And I'm here with Ian. Thank you, Hannah Clare. Yes, Dave, you mentioned Normal World. We did the first episode I was on with you guys yes drugtopia you started in drugtopia one of the finest shorts ever made here's to many more my friend that was that was gorgeous to work on
Starting point is 00:05:14 dude you were great and you were the seriously you were robert downey jr in that that's what's fantastic about i this last week i've been on a physical transformation working out i cut all this weight to do uh the first scene of this music video we're working on. I've gained like five or six pounds now, and it has been emotional. I don't know about you guys, if you've ever done workout and like the way that I,
Starting point is 00:05:33 and I'm already, I think because I'm an actor or have been that I I'm emotional. I kind of work off how I feel about things and it's really damaging to my friendships and my relationships if I don't have it under control. So this has been like a new learning experience for me, man out i'm like a rampaging bull right now i'm turning into a meathead i'm gonna get some therapy and then i think maybe that'll help me balance myself out a little bit and get jacked and healthy i noticed it around when i got here like the first time i saw ian i'm like you can tell that workout and food and everything is biceps today and after
Starting point is 00:06:02 the first rep of like 10 even i was like, oh, my muscles were like tight and large. It was crazy. I've noticed some physical change, but you seem like very energetic, happy. It's really interesting. Yeah, it's definitely another kind of energy. That's for sure. Ian's testosterone is going to go through the roof
Starting point is 00:06:19 and he's going to get super conservative. Oh, yeah. That's true. It does come with it. It does. When you work out, you become right. I want to protect. It's super conservative. Oh, yeah. That's true. It does come with it. It does. When you work out, you become right. I want to protect. It's true.
Starting point is 00:06:27 I do have that intuition is kicking on in me, this desire to protect. It's really wild. We got Kellen. What's up, everybody? Yeah, Ian's, if you walk by him now in the hallways, he just shoulders you real hard. So we are seeing a change. But yeah, I'm Kellen. I'm filling in for Serge.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Ahoy, Dave. Good to see you again. Ahoy to you, my friend. And I get back from this week-long retreat, and Seamus is just gone. Interesting. Suspicious. He's completely gone. And I know that there were spoons, and they're gone, too. True story.
Starting point is 00:06:55 I went down. There's two guitars missing. Thursday night after. $10,000. It's crazy. All of my potatoes. Tuesday night after the show. Good question.
Starting point is 00:07:04 I went down to eat my 600 calories after the show on Tuesday, and there were no forks. And then I was like, Seamus walked by. And I was like, oh, God. Is he kind of a fork guy, though? I don't know. I just don't trust him anymore. I'll just say hand meal, man. I will say two very quick things before we jump into the news.
Starting point is 00:07:20 We already got a bunch of super chats. One person said, please don't leave again. All Seamus does is talk about the Bible. And then someone else said Seamus did great I love that he talked about the bible but uh that sums up the device of look look religion is apparently the spice of life occasionally you need to have a good old catholic host the show but uh special thank you to Seamus Seamus Coghlan of Freedom Tunes he hosted the show for the week while I was at the doctor. I was basically sitting in a recliner with a bunch of tubes and fluids and stuff and vitamin drips
Starting point is 00:07:49 and blood work and MRIs. I saw a lot of dolphins. That's awesome. Because the clinic is on the beach in Tijuana and I saw the border too and I actually walked up to the border and I had this like profound moment of realization looking at this massive hole ripped into the the tijuana
Starting point is 00:08:05 border and i'm just like you could just walk right through it no joke and then there's like a border patrol guy on the other side and then i just had this realization about the decline of culture and everything starts coming together as to why it's all falling apart and we'll talk about it on the show let's jump into the first story in that regard here we go let's get into the news we got this from timcast.com human remains of missing paddleboard are found in pond at obama's martha's vineyard estate the man has been described as a black 43 year old but identity has not been made public now at the time of uh this uh writing we did not know now we know that it was obama's chef obama's chef was uh paddleboarding this is uh dom lucre says dead body found at
Starting point is 00:08:45 obama's martha's martha's vineyard estate in search for a black 43 year old male paddleboarder who drowned in the pond attached to the estate 9-1-1 call was made from ex-president's 12 million dollar property night last night sorry and uh shortly before 10 a.m the body of the missing paddleboarder was recovered from edgartown great pond by massachusetts state police divers msp underwater recovery unit made the recovery after the victim's body was located. So, okay. It was his chef. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:11 What's going on? Well, Michelle did say he was like family. It's just too bad he knew too much. So, this is the thing, right? What's the most likely scenario? Occam's razor. Obama's chef went for a paddleboard ride. Most likely. Drown. I mean, Obama's chef went for a paddleboard ride, most likely, drown.
Starting point is 00:09:26 I mean, it's not a Clinton. If it was a Clinton chef, you'd already find the bullet hole. Did you see that interview? Maybe like drowning. Sorry, they would say, he drowned. They would say, he asphyxied underwater because the water entered the bullet hole in his lungs.
Starting point is 00:09:41 If you haven't seen the Patrick Bette David Anthony Weinerer interview when he talks about the clinton body count anthony wiener goes off the rails for like 20 minutes it's hilarious oh anthony coomey and i did it once and it's like how many people commit suicide running through the woods yelling help and get shot in the back it's the normal thing that happens i don't know why you would question that to be fair you know so i've gone through the clinton body count thing and some of these things are big stretches some of them are really weird yeah some of them are a big i do agree there's there was that there was that journalist in the 90s i think it was the 90s he was like working on the cia and
Starting point is 00:10:14 then they said he he killed himself by shooting himself twice in the head whatever and then people will try to explain it away like well sometimes you know these horrible things happen people fail and they try again and it's like okay sure whatever but a lot of them are like an accountant at an insurance firm the clintons once used and i'm like oh come on you're a plane crash like unrelated they do yeah they do play a lot of uh six degrees of kevin bacon in order to get there in the connection a lot of them are just like you did i think they met once at a cocktail party but then there are some that make no sense at all for sure and the question is is this because the clintons are doing really evil things yeah or is it is it they are oh sorry but
Starting point is 00:10:50 not in this but but i'm saying this question in this specific context yes like in terms of you know the clinton global foundation and their donations but the uh the question is like are they just very powerful people who are very well connected with other very, very powerful people in a tight circle. So you hear stories about security, military, prominent intelligence. Those things happen all the time. My point is, is it unique to the Clintons? Or if you actually looked, would you find something similar with the Obamas? Probably. And that is not to say that the Obamas did anything wrong or the Clintons harmed anyone. I'm saying when you're in these powerful positions of wealth and prestige and international relations i mean come on you know outside the united states and yeah like if we're not in this like lovable rainbow and butterfly
Starting point is 00:11:34 democracy that we happen to live in right now uh power struggles and and people's lives like i don't think life expectancy is very high in the center of power in like communist dictatorships or anything people offing their friends their their co-workers no i am gonna pull up this one youtube clip and just say because is it from their ring cam it no it's from it's not from their kitchen cam it's from a marvel movie are you sure yeah we should have said ring cam so when i read this story this is the first thing i thought of immediately was like what's that movie where the guy uh is like in his house and the cleaning lady leaves and then she comes back in because she forgot something and the guy goes ah winter soldier and uh we have it right here
Starting point is 00:12:16 i'm not going to play the club i just want to show you this this is the scene so uh what's his name alexander pierce he's talking with Winter Soldier, who's like this former Soviet assassin. Yeah, the other Obama chef. That's right. The cleaning lady leaves, and then she forgets her phone, and she walks back in, and then Pierce is sitting there, and he goes, Oh, Renata, I wish you would have knocked. And then he just shoots her. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:37 That's the first thing I thought of. Why would the chef be paddleboarding at the Obama's house? I understand you're a chef, but we have people who come and clean the office. They don't hang out in our backyard and go skating. If you found them in our deer blind or whatever, it'd be weird. It's like a level of comfort you're not expecting. I will say there are some private chefs, especially with these more remote private states, that'll come spend the week there.
Starting point is 00:13:03 And they have a place that they stay. And maybe he just had the afternoon off. He probably lives there is my guess yeah but it is weird but we have seen the rapids of a pond yeah i don't there's another person allegedly with him is that confirmed or denied i don't know also were the obamas there at the time that's kind of what i want to know i wonder how big the pond is well so it's hot there's a heat wave could have been drinking or like if you just fell off and hit your head and like that does happen. You know what I mean? Like someone called nine one one.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Apparently they called it in. So someone knew he was under the water. Who was it? So is this, I mean, maybe he was drowning and they're like, help, help.
Starting point is 00:13:38 That's very possible. Yeah. I feel like there'd be more with, we would know. I, I just hope everyone's okay. Yeah i just hope everyone's okay yeah i hope everyone's okay it does seem they're not like we're not getting all the details right yeah it feels like something's being hidden and i think it's always because it's an ex-president and i
Starting point is 00:13:56 think it's weird that we haven't gotten a like because we haven't gotten a the obamas were not there at the time that makes me assume they were on the estate, which might explain why their personal chef was there, but also, I don't know. I just feel like there's something off. The Post Millennial has this. They say, in the past, Campbell is his name, wrote the words, still can't swim, in a hashtag on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:14:17 So then why was he paddle boarding? On eight feet of water. Is that what it was? Ponds are not very big. It's a foot and a half off what is a pond they're muddy at the bottom so if you hit the bottom his feet might have got tangled that's true it's like quicksand or like i'm saying like if he like lost balance and there's one rock there and he hits his head and then it's that he's unconscious and then he drank like that
Starting point is 00:14:37 sounds awful but the reality is occasionally these things happen and no they do no foul play so what what defines what a pond is it says uh the technical distinction between a pond and a lake has not been universally standardized blah blah blah some region of the u.s defined pond as a body of water with a surface area of less than 10 acres you know what i can just pull up satellite images of martha's vineyard yeah that's a good point like if i was there with the dude and he fell off his paddleboard, I would immediately go in the water after the guy. Yeah. We were both blazingly hammered or something like that.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Or like you go in and you're still unconscious when you get him out. You still have to call 911. I feel like in my drinking days, I would have gone in for sure. Like that wouldn't have prevented it at all. That may not have helped at all. I would have been more heroic. I would have been like, I got this guy. I'm a swimmer.
Starting point is 00:15:23 With one arm. Yeah. And then someone would have came in and got us both. So I only have a general idea of where the Obama's house is. It's Martha's Vineyard, but I don't know where. Yeah, but there is an area that's called a pond. I don't want to pull it up because I don't want to. Everybody knows where his house is.
Starting point is 00:15:39 You can Google it. But there is a pond. It's pretty big. It's pretty big. I don't know how deep it is, but. It's pretty big. It's pretty big. You know, I don't know how deep it is, but it looks like decently large enough to go paddleboard on. And,
Starting point is 00:15:50 you know, so I don't know. I suppose everybody, there's gonna be a lot of people who would prefer it to be some kind of deeper conspiracy, but the sad reality is probably not some dude who couldn't swim, probably just fell off his paddleboard. I was probably had a couple. Ah,
Starting point is 00:16:03 yeah. Good thing he was found at a depth of eight feet and about a hundred feet from the edge of the shore of the yeah that's not good so that seems he probably didn't get out very far and realized the pedal board sucks i was like i'm gonna go back slipped to fari campbell he was a sous chef at the white house during the obama administration and stayed on with the family when they moved to a private life so i guess the question like did he live with them? Probably if he stayed with them for that long. He's probably lived at the house. And I think that's
Starting point is 00:16:30 not crazy, depending on how big and how wealthy you are. Housekeepers sometimes live in wealthy people's houses. Yeah, mine does. Eight feet. That's crazy. Could you imagine being just two feet of water above you and you're like, there is air and you can't get to it?
Starting point is 00:16:46 No. Especially, like, how tall is this guy, right? Like, if he's over six feet, that's just two feet. Yeah, for me, I'd be like, it's pretty far. But for him, that's a distance. You know what I don't understand? I don't understand not being able to swim. Well...
Starting point is 00:17:01 I understand some people can't. I'm just saying... You grew up with a pool. Or access to one. That's how he got his name. i mean you're tim pool you know how to swim this but uh we didn't we didn't swim ever i mean did you get what i don't get is how to just go like this though to get up to the surface like i feel like dogs do that you gotta learn to cup your fingers. That's the biggest part. So what I was told when I was little, when I was younger,
Starting point is 00:17:30 because I asked, how do people not know how to swim? It's because they panic. And they just start hitting the water instead of actually just aspirating. There was that actress, is it Naya Rivera? She was in Glee and she drowned one or two years ago at this point.
Starting point is 00:17:44 And part of the story was like it's not that drownings happen so often there but she was getting her son out of the water and they think just in that circumstance it's not that she couldn't swim but like the panic of trying to get her child out and whatever was happening oh that's right yeah wasn't that like the ocean or something i think it was california on a lake but i could be slightly wrong. Yeah, maybe it was like, okay, I know it was in Cali, yeah. I think that's one of the weird things about drowning. People feel like hopefully some part of your brain kicks in and says, get to the surface. But if you're really panicked, you can become kind of irrational.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Well, it's not, so my understanding is that with drowning- I had a friend who drowned recently in a pool, though, and he grew up with a pool. I might have hit his head. Because it's an involuntary reaction. When you begin drowning, that's what happens is the water goes in your mouth, you try to breathe, and then people's hands go straight out, and they just panic. I shouldn't say panic. That's not what I'm trying to say. It's like an involuntary reaction, and people don't realize they're drowning because they're not freaking out and splashing like crazy.
Starting point is 00:18:38 They're just sitting there at the water level. I think what it is is God created a water world and a land world and we're invading it. Yeah, we kept the salt water inside of us. Yeah, like we shouldn't be in there messing around with their habitat. You don't see whales walking around. We take them and bring them here. Could you imagine if like dolphins built land ships? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:57 We're just like driving around. Yeah, just like looking at us. You're anti-water sports. Watching you through a hole in the fence. I think about that a lot. We're like amoeba that have created this sealant around our salt water. We just carry it around with us. It's freaking wild. Right, it is.
Starting point is 00:19:09 So I think we should just stay out of there. It's our fault. What have we done? Are we amphibious? Yeah, we've brought it upon ourselves. You don't think it's Obama. You think this man who drowned knew too much about the water. He saw something there. They saw him and they were like, what are you doing there? The merpeople in the pond were like,
Starting point is 00:19:25 get it, get it. They were like, look, we've made it clear. Yeah, you don't know what's living in there. The naga. We don't know what he took from the White House. Like you could take one thing and he took like a monster that lives in ponds.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Yeah. Let's, let's, let's, like an aqua lady. Let's jump on to the next really. Did I go too far in this man's death? I'm sorry. Let's jump on to the next very big story. We have this from timCast.com.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Twitter rebrands as X. There it is, ladies and gentlemen. Elon Musk says, not sure what subtle clues gave it away, but I like the letter X. And that's the new logo. I really like how he tweeted, hey, we're going to choose a logo if someone tweets it or something. But then just put up the logo he already had planned anyway. Love it. Well, you get paid for engagement now, so he needs to keep that coming.
Starting point is 00:20:06 This is his plan to make money. He's like, I'm going to get myself paid. He says, and soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and gradually all the birds like this but X. So here we go. This is always been the plan. He's been tweeting about this for a long time. It's official. We've already got
Starting point is 00:20:21 a gang sign he's throwing up. Yeah. Twitter X. That might actually be a gang sign he's throwing up? Yeah. Twitter X. That might actually be a gang sign, so you should be careful. It's true. No, this one is. This is blood. But you don't really see him anymore because the cartels took over LA.
Starting point is 00:20:33 But what do we call tweeting now? And he said it was called an X. The more you know. X-ing? I feel like this is really... Is it X-ing? I think it's... Is it X-ing?
Starting point is 00:20:43 X-ing? Z-ing? I mean, Z. I love? Exceeding? Zeding? I mean, I love big zeding. Some borrowing. I think this is like a Gretchen Wiener's moment. We have to be like, stop trying to make X-ing happen. It's not going to happen, Elon Musk. It's maybe not the only social media site where there's actually a verb for the word
Starting point is 00:20:58 when you send a message. I just say like, I'm sending a message. I posted on mines. I posted on YouTube. My post went live on Facebook, but on Twitter it was, my tweet tweet went live so maybe it's just going to be called posts you're just posting on x yeah but that makes it less unique like i don't understand why you get rid of that browning that branding uh my favorite response no i don't like that's hard that's why it was sad when they didn't go with trumpet or trump trumpet and you'd be like trumpeting
Starting point is 00:21:21 something i think that was pretty cool but uh chris tagaldo radio host tweeted out this picture of i don't know when it's from but like some guy on a crane in a basket like taking down the the bird logo off the side of a building being like bye bird that's why he's making fun of it like with titter yeah to the w off because he doesn't care about the brand he's but i want to say this i fear elon Musk's Everything app. I fear XAI, his AI program. Linda Iaccarino says the Everything app will be powered by AI. And I feel that this may actually be somewhat apocalyptic. Yes, I agree. And so I was mentioning earlier that I was in Tijuana, went to the border, and it's this big fence.
Starting point is 00:22:03 There's Mexican National Guard on on one side and then there's u.s border patrol on the other side and there's just this huge hole that the average person can easily just walk right through and the only reason you don't is because there's guards on the other side but i started i talked to some guy you know he told me this crazy story our uber driver he was like i tried to climb the fence to break into america and i fell 40 feet because the car the human traffickers took the ladder away from me and i'm just like but i was talking to one conversation before you go under it was really crazy i'm like why is he telling me i was actually leaving but um i heard a story from some guy who said back in the day a long time ago there was no
Starting point is 00:22:36 border it was like if you were a mexican citizen you just cross and you'd work and then americans would cross and they'd work and you'd walk back and forth yeah it was no there was nothing there and now there's this heavy border that's heavily guarded and i think the issue is with all of this and and this does relate to the twitter rebranding as x the uh cultural collapse in its entirety globally everywhere in the world because of the internet community is ceasing to exist we were talking at dinner about how there's no home ec anymore at schools. They used to teach women and, you know, to some degree, I guess men learn this stuff, but mostly women would learn how to cook dinner and prepare the home and iron clothes and help. That was extremely important, in my opinion. You had to take it once, at least at our school.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Yeah, same. We talked about last week with Libby Emmons, too, on Tuesday. I mean, it was such a staple that, at least at our school. Yeah, same. We talked about it last week with Libby Emmons, too, on Tuesday. I mean, it was such a staple that this was true at tons of colleges. They had schools of home economics. They would teach things like budgeting. They would teach things like how to cost compare. It was so big that we had a federal department of home economics that supported women during war times and seeing how they could support basically women helping to sustain the nuclear
Starting point is 00:23:42 family. And we don't have that anymore. We have a thousand things for diversity, equity, nuclear family. And we don't have that anymore. We have a thousand things for diversity, equity, inclusion, but we don't have things that are specifically targeted to help people help themselves in the context of staying at home. So to wrap it all together, back to the border. The reason I'm freaked out by this is I'm like, we needed this fence because no one cares about their community anymore.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Because now it used to be that someone would say like hey you're not part of our community we're we're concerned about what you're doing here and they would not get access to public goods also there was no income tax so people didn't really care all that much it just meant you weren't going to fight for us you weren't going to be protected by us community starts breaking apart so we have to build walls we have to create laws why do we need a law that says you can't do a certain thing? You know, example, abortion. Ron Paul says it shouldn't be illegal. It should be unthinkable. How did it become thinkable to the point where we need decree
Starting point is 00:24:36 by leadership to tell people what they can or can't do instead of our people of the United States just agreeing like, hey, we shouldn't be doing this thing. It's simple. Culture is fragmenting and breaking down, which brings it all back to Twitter. It's simple. Culture is fragmenting and breaking down, which brings it all back to Twitter. It used to be that you live next to your neighbors, you went to church, you talked to your neighbors, you all agreed on things, you learned from each other, and you shared particular views based on where you live.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Then the internet came around, big cities started fragmenting, and now there's a dude who lives in New York on top of another dude, and they've never even met, even though they've lived literally next to each other for 10 years. People don't talk to their neighbors at all anymore. Exactly. I actually talk to mine and it's nice, but there's someone on my block I haven't talked to because they're just completely antisocial.
Starting point is 00:25:15 But it's because of the Internet. Of course it is. So I knew everybody on my block before the Internet. Everybody. Now think about this. AOC is not representative of the average democrat or average american she is fringe leftist she's becoming more shill establishment she gets elected because she goes online and typically if you were like a fringe leftist weirdo you'd go
Starting point is 00:25:36 outside and wave your weird leftist flag and everyone would be like shun shun and you'd be like okay this is not working now those people go online and every person in every different part of the country forms a community of 10 000 and they share resources and they organize and they they gain power in this way i mean same can be said for even this show we gain power from everyone from all over all over the world all over the country coming together and watching and supporting us this allows fringe ideas to become prominent now think about what it's going to be like with AI controlling what you see and hear. It's already in that we're already there, but now it's going to be no matter what your crackpot insane view is, the AI will pander to you and affirm your fringe belief system.
Starting point is 00:26:19 It's also like beyond the internet, because that's a really good point. The internet is the beginning of the fracturing of the local community. It's the cell phone. You've brought this up a few times it really clicked with me a couple weeks ago this thing i used to be that you'd be on the internet when you sat down at your computer you were there for an hour or whatever then you got up and walked away and you were not online ever for the rest of the day everybody around you is who you are with now these stupid things when some you're trying to talk to someone and they're on their fucking phone uh it's it's the most like disheartening experience if you have a friend and like they're just not available
Starting point is 00:26:49 because i call a dinner with my family yeah it's so that's crazy well it is i mean have you ever looked at your phone sometimes and you really you've had a busy day doing stuff that you've had to do and you look and you go nine hours and you just realize that's what you've been doing for more than a work day is staring at a screen it's all i do so what's going to happen is horrific you're talking about how it could even the ai is going to start moving people like if you have a brain implant or or a phone or like some sort of sensor in your augment augmented glasses and someone tells you something and the machine's like they're lying they're lying they're lying you're gonna that's the ai making you think something about that person like they're gonna have behavioral monitoring devices and stuff that people can tap into this
Starting point is 00:27:29 is this person a psychopath it'll be like a behavioral experimentation right we see this with a twitter algorithm or not just twitter but any of the social media algorithms you know you'll get people who say oh yeah we changed one small thing and we saw this reaction so then we change this way like they are already collecting all data i can only imagine what ai is going to decide wants to do i don't trust ai i don't like it at all i recognize that there are some reasons why we're curious about it but i think ultimately just like tim like the the idea that we'd have this super app like where's name one other place that has that china i mean that's the idea right is china has the one app that controls everything that's what everybody sees all day is the only one thing that monitors everyone i mean that's the idea, right? Is China has the one app that controls everything. That's what everybody sees all day is the only one thing that monitors everyone.
Starting point is 00:28:07 I mean, that's the idea is the government watches everybody on one specific app. Is that what this is? How could it not be? And I'm not the fact that it collects all that data. Like, even though we're not giving it to the government necessarily, the fact that everything you're doing, but they're watching it. Of course. I mean, we've known this since Snowden and we all. Yeah. People hated him. Even it's like all he did was tell us like what we needed to know and
Starting point is 00:28:29 it's like did you even even if elon disagrees with it even if elon shuts down these backdoor doesn't mean they're not going to look at it they still can by because they control the grid i don't get it because elon i think of is like a brilliant genius like one of the most genius strategists on earth right now. Why he would centralize data. It doesn't make any sense. Like you could decentralize the system, work on a mesh network. Maybe that's your goal overall.
Starting point is 00:28:52 But why do you got to centralize everything first? It's such a vulnerability point. I'll tell you what I think. I don't know if this is absolute or true, but it's what's happening. You think about, I think we talked about this on one of the culture war episodes. You think about single-celled organisms. do they do what are they doing milling about eating particles or whatever and molecules and making more of themselves i haven't the foggiest haven't foggiest it seems irrelevant to us but eventually a bunch of these little dudes got
Starting point is 00:29:18 together and created this massive network of complicated specialized cells to make us right in our bodies when a group of cells goes rogue what do we call it cancer yes and we destroy it yes because it's deviating from what we want these free radicals i love how they're called free radicals that can like result in cancer because i'm like that sounds like the free radicals we have in society that are running around doing crazy fine young radicals are banned yeah well see there so here's what i think is happening not a good band why would elon want this everybody you will live in you'll own nothing you will live in your pod you will eat the bugs and you'll be happy this is the the communist techno-communist future the next stage in
Starting point is 00:30:01 the evolution of life is multicellular organisms all becoming hyper specialized, never deviating in any way. You are born to do a job. You are engineered to do a job, probably genetically. The AI controls what you think. So you never deviate. You never want to deviate. You're scared to deviate. And if you do, then you get removed.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Yeah. do then you get removed yeah and then what happens is the ai will effectively be the brain telling all of the individual multicellular humans what the massive multicellular multi-organism is supposed to be doing the ai will effectively be the conscious entity of all humanity and we'll be nothing but a skin cell to be flicked off and destroyed i can't believe i shaved my dick for this um with this though like if you look at it i see what you're saying but okay let's say you have elon musk right you have electric cars ai all these different things that he's that he's doing which one of the these things going towards this does he not benefit from so even though you look at him like
Starting point is 00:31:01 a good guy a genius these things that he that he, don't you think that there could be a chance that this maybe isn't the greatest guy in the world, and it could be benefiting him completely? Yeah, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. That's what I mean. He's always worried me in that sense. Like, I hate electric cars, I'll just say it, but that's just because maybe being from Detroit,
Starting point is 00:31:20 I just like the feel of an actual car, and that's just a preference of mine, but I don't get in a Tesla and be like, this is cool i just it's something i don't enjoy personally i like it but understand whether it's tesla or any other electric car oh i'm not saying it's just his brand it's just how i feel about it whatever car it is there will come a day very soon yeah where i'm not allowed to drive get in the car and the doors will lock and it says a warrant has been issued for Mr. Landau. Right.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Driving to the police station. And you'll go, what? It senses your fingerprints on the steering wheel or something. No, it's a camera. Right there, look at your face. Facial recognition. It says, hello, Dave. A warrant has been issued by Precinct 99.
Starting point is 00:31:56 And you'll be like, okay. I'll be like, delivering you to jail. That's why I want like an older gas guzzler that has none of those features. I love those cars. There are very few of them at this point yeah they're trying to get them away and but i think a lot of people feel that way because lots are filled with electric cars right now people aren't buying them and i think that's out of that fear i think dissent is part of the united states ethos like if there's corrupt
Starting point is 00:32:19 government you dissent create a better government by the people like the people govern themselves but the rest of the world's not really built like that they they're much about fall in line a lot of them are like oh i think you're right about that for sure and it's bleeding into our culture i can feel it with this whole like everyone organized on the centered system it's better than like the world economic forum they want everything like monitored and now think about this here's the real danger in my mind of this hyper centralized ai dictating everything yeah using the human body as as the metaphor the next stage all humans specialized being controlled no free radicals to be eliminated etc the ai is in control there are people whose conscious minds are in control
Starting point is 00:32:56 of their bodies gorging themselves to death and doing drugs and destroying their bodies yeah and still when they get cancer we destroy it so that what freaks me out in that idea is not that it's one for one but let's say we do move in this direction where ai controls everything we don't even realize it the ai could be gorging itself on drugs and sugars and we would just be milling about being like everything's so perfect until the entirety of humanity collapses we cannot trust a centralized ai to make sure to or to follow or any of this and it's where everything's been going in the past couple decades well and really even in the past couple i don't know i shouldn't even say months but really it's already had so many problems with ai that it's really like upsetting people to the point that you have
Starting point is 00:33:45 ice cube you have other people speaking out about the fears of it oh sorry i might not lower it you're good sorry um but you have you have people speaking out against it you already have so many problems with it just in i guess it's not in its infancy but i think compared to the you know technology it really is there's already been so many issues with this don't you think that there's other places to go they're going to be far more dangerous than just the tiny stuff that we've seen? Yeah. As you were talking about how we're having problems with AI, I got this article from fortune.com. Chat GPT went from correctly answering a simple math problem 98% of the time to just 2% of the time. So the way an AI and be have everything looks good and then one little piece of
Starting point is 00:34:25 data can switch in the entire system can start outputting something that's just slightly wrong but it's just wrong enough to destroy the entire thing it takes so much effort to make it right and it's so easy to fail have you guys seen where video games are already at with this stuff dude it's crazy it used to be super mario brothers mar Mario goes in the castle and text appears. Thank you for saving me, but the prince is in another castle. That was the extent of NPC communication with you. It advanced to games now where you can choose to say something. And then a voice actor's scripted line will speak.
Starting point is 00:34:57 That's a great idea. Let's get the mission underway. And you're like, cool. Now, with text-to- voice and predictive language models video games have already started you're wearing a headset you walk up to the npc and you say something like hey idiot ugly i want to buy some soda and the npc goes who are you calling an idiot if you want to buy something be polite a generated predictive response we are we are years away from people saying i no longer want to live in reality i'm going to go into this universe where i can tune
Starting point is 00:35:30 out and you're going to be sitting in your living room talking to fake people and we're we're already there with the robot girlfriends man y'all's getting crazy out there well and how many people want to live in the current reality is it intentional i mean it's not really that great right now i mean the last couple years everything has fallen completely and i'm sure a lot of people would prefer to live in a sub i mean i'm just saying it's and the headlines that go behind that right like you're a millennial they're saying it's gonna be possible by a house it's gonna be possible to serve family it's gonna be like there's all of these negative things at a certain point it would be easy to be like i'm just giving up like this place that gives me
Starting point is 00:36:04 comfort and gives me the life I want is easier, right? I can understand the attraction to that. I just think ultimately that's really devoid of actual emotional connection and support. I think part of the issue is that we train people to seek out momentary pleasure and comfort rather than work through issues that they're having. And it's easier to give up. Yeah, the idea of community and you take out the idea of a lot of things like that when you do want that instant gratification which we've completely
Starting point is 00:36:31 taught our society to have is endless dopamine hits and instant likes and no attention span but then you add like the other day i saw a video is for basically gen z's and millennials where it's just if you want to buy a five hundred thousand dollar house all you need is a twenty five thousand dollar down payment and then you need three thousand dollars a month at a 6.5 interest rate i'm like wow that sounds like hell like pure hell to try to pitch that to somebody it doesn't look good i mean you're basically telling people that a reality of the old of a way that life once worked is no longer available. It's a complete turnoff. I'm just saying that's not a realistic interest rate.
Starting point is 00:37:11 It's not a realistic down pay. It's all pretend just in that. I don't agree that it's bad. The amount? So the issue is relativity, and the issue with VR is that it will always offer you the greener grass no matter what it is. You're not going to go back 200 years and say that
Starting point is 00:37:29 we have it worse. Actually, there's no lights anywhere. It's dark out. You could just die. You stub your toe, you get an infection, you're dead. Horrible things are going on and even as bad as it is now relative to how things may have been in economic booms or whatever, it's still pretty great.
Starting point is 00:37:48 But there will always be problems and people will always choose a free dopamine hit over the harsh reality they live in yes so when the vr starts coming out and it's already here with predictive language and pcs within a year or two the language will be perfectly fluid right now it's it's rather, hey, why are you calling me ugly? That was mean. Give it a year or two. It's going to be perfect. I mean, we went in one year with AI images. I tweet out this horrible image of Pelosi.
Starting point is 00:38:17 One year later, you have photorealistic images being made my mid journey and getting better every day. I would picture like you play the video game with the guy Elder Scrolls 7 or whatever and he's talking to you and you're like then you're dreaming and you're thinking about that one npc you're like that guy's really cool man and then there's an app where you can actually call that npc on the phone when you're not playing the game and bond with them and talk to them and the next time you're in the game they could make it so the generative conversation was involved or not involved oh dude no i don't like that at all the only social skills you have now though is that and and imagine the people who are going to retreat
Starting point is 00:38:50 to significant others there's going to be we're a year out from this at at most people sitting in their living room wearing a headset playing a video game and talking to a computer program and saying i love you so much and the computer program just goes i love you too i really wish i could be there with you then how long until we download those ais into machines and it's here's here's the thing it's how long is it until it's just porn and nobody leaves their house ever that's exactly but but more than for real like not even kidding but emotional and physical porn at the same time that's what i mean you're the hero and you get to have sex with the woman.
Starting point is 00:39:26 It's going to be crazy. Yeah, realistic. And then it goes farther than that, because obviously we've taken something that, and I guess, too, what I mean by nostalgia isn't even 200 years. If you look to when we were young and the amount of nostalgia that just we have in our generations is insane
Starting point is 00:39:40 because of how fast technology moved. So what we see is crazy. The amount of technology we have seen, it's not like it's ever been this way for a group in history. We remember pre-internet and the way that things were and the way that things are now. So the way that this all affects us, the technology is different. I think it's going to be different than the people that are born today
Starting point is 00:40:00 because they're growing up with all of this technology. It's not going to be anything new or that crazy to them, but going from playing, like you said, getting a Nintendo when I was a kid to seeing all of this, it makes very little sense to me. Let's jump to this next story and talk about how we might get there.
Starting point is 00:40:17 We got this one from NDTV. I see this story popping up all over the place. Man tests positive for MERS coronavirus in Abu Dhabi, says World Health Organization. A 28-year-old man tests positive for a potentially fatal Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome coronavirus. Now, here's the thing. MERS has been around for a while, right?
Starting point is 00:40:36 They say, what is it? It's been recorded in 27 countries since 2012. Over the time, 2,605 cases and 936 associated deaths have been reported here's what i want to say about this a lot of people are suggesting this could be the catalyst for another lockdown as elections are looming i don't think so mers has been around before it doesn't spread like covid did covid was novel but they're calling it mers-cov that's the freaky thing that's what i'm seeing a bunch of these stories do because now now they're associating MERS with COVID.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Yeah. That could be a political catalyst for giving the government power to do whatever they want. I think I saw there was a 25% death. It kills like 30% of the people. 36. 36%. So that's nothing like COVID. That's something like you get it.
Starting point is 00:41:21 You either survive it or you die. And it's not really that. I don't know how transmissible it is. One in three i'm sorry dave were you about to say something no no it just sounds like they added three letters to mers exactly because now they're associating the pandemic the lockdown the sickness with something that they can say has a 36 mortality rate despite the fact it does not spread nearly as as horrifically but could be enough for politicians to say hey mers see it mers covid is here we need lockdowns we need mail-in voting the mortality rate is 36 oh boy here we go again yeah i do feel like they feel like covid has uh worn out you know they've been
Starting point is 00:42:00 saying for a while they had all the the variants and at a certain point they were like seems like people aren't going to stay at home no matter what and now we have the malaria outbreaks which malaria can be really serious but it is interesting that there's almost at times if i'm if i'm cynical feels like they're just trying to test out what will scare you enough to go home oh i think they are though i mean and with this it's i i don't think you can have another covid lockdown because everybody's just gonna go yeah no i'm not gonna do that at all i i don't think you can have another COVID lockdown because everybody's just going to go, yeah, no, I'm not going to do that at all. I don't know if I agree with that. Do you think they will?
Starting point is 00:42:31 Some people maybe, but I don't think the majority would. They're still calling for it. You still have prominent liberal person as a Twitter. Peter Hotez. Yeah, didn't he just put it out just recently? We got a lockdown again. I'll quote him. Yeah, he said something like that.
Starting point is 00:42:44 Yeah, he's the worst. Professor Peter Hotez, MD, PhD. He's terrible. Yeah, he's... Didn't he write a book called Vaccines Didn't Give My Daughters Autism I Did From Junk Food by Peter Hotez? He was like gleefully telling Joe Rogan
Starting point is 00:42:57 that he feeds his autistic daughter junk food. Yeah. Like in Blame... It's insane. Yeah, that guy is a... He's just worthless. was wasn't he just saying recently something about like you know i'm looking at his twitter i can't find it oh it was the post barbie yeah in this post barbie world let's not forget i'm nervous about covid everyone's going
Starting point is 00:43:18 to the movies so he was like oh but no one's masking anymore no one's doing tests anymore i think that was the tweet right yeah it Yeah, it was something like that. The movies are so popular, we have to worry about another rise in COVID, basically. Which is also like a typical, like, don't go have fun. I'm holier than you for having noticed this. I'm protecting you all with my great ideas. We have anonymous sex apps
Starting point is 00:43:38 and we're worried about people going to the movies. It's absurd. Go to the movies. Bring a wipe if you want with you but haven't we already proven that putting on a mask with dirty fingers isn't going to help you all that much oh my gosh i don't know especially like are we allowed to say that you're 100 yeah if you're rebreathing like fecal matter in your mask or like where do you carry your mask you put it in your bag or coat pocket like that thing's gross here's here's a tweet dirty underwear it's the same sorry no no i just want to pull the tweet uh
Starting point is 00:44:08 peter hodges said not to be a debbie downer but anyone worried about a post barbie box office covid bump or post oppie we'll net we'll probably never know since no one seems to be keeping track of such things anymore keep up with your boosters and find a pink n95 or kn95 if you can and he's just talking about the box office for these two movies. Now, I don't know if that really matters, but I do want to stress, this is my point. These people are still calling
Starting point is 00:44:33 for these things to happen again. Yo, there were a lot of places where people did not follow the protocols. I didn't. But there were a lot of places that did to an extreme degree. Absolutely. And there was enforcement of these things to ridiculous degrees so i don't think it's an issue of whether people
Starting point is 00:44:48 want or don't want something because they let it happen in the first place and local cops and sheriff's department went and arrested cafe owners and salon owners the cops will do as they're told a lot of those things are hard once they get started they're easier to stop from happening once it gets rolling then you're like especially as a cop you're like well god they already put it into place now i've got to kind of do my job and enforce the dumb rule that got put into place but if you don't let them put the rule into place in the first place but this also had though a lot of cops though the new business owners that were like you know what you don't have to build your restaurant outside it's fine you have a speakeasy now i mean there were a lot of places in this country who didn't deal with it
Starting point is 00:45:22 you know i mean you can't i guess legally you can't say that or have a statistic on it speakeasy existed in in prohibition of course and there were cops who would look the other way and things like that but i'm not saying it was the majority unfortunately you are right i think what happens is the fragmentation of community and the family and partly due to the internet what do they do in new jersey with atellas uh jim they brought the local cops didn't do what the city wanted so they got cops from a different suburban town to come in and enforce the law here's the crazy thing about all that why would any community accept external police coming into their community to enforce rules their community does not agree with is the
Starting point is 00:46:05 crazy thing but is the proof to what i'm talking about yep irrational fear they had to bring in state troopers into new york because a lot of nypd guys didn't want to enforce these rules like shut down bars and stuff so they bring in a different agency now i can understand the hierarchy of law enforcement state police have different jurisdiction they have more jurisdiction but the idea that there are two cities let's call it city city city town and town city city ville in the village of cities town whatever and uh one city is like we want to force everyone in their homes but they're refusing and the cops won't enforce it let's bring in cops from a different town why would anyone in the community be like we certainly respect this uh this police department with no jurisdiction in
Starting point is 00:46:43 our town but they did that's the point yes they did i guess my point is how do we continue making a living in this country how do we not keep everybody from going completely impoverished how do we keep any brick and mortar business going any restaurant running anything really working that's not just a giant corporation where you work in a warehouse wearing a mask all day sweating i mean really what what's the end game i mean it does go at a lot of this x stuff we were talking about and going into that sort of bleak future but why why wouldn't we fight against that i think that question is a good question for peter hotez and people like peter hotez that made tons of money and became super well known during the pandemic because of the pandemic like that guy has everything to gain from seeing another pandemic the way he made out during covid
Starting point is 00:47:28 without it he becomes irrelevant yeah yep think about how many people are sitting there thinking all these doctors they're like oh man i'd love i mean fauci's on tv anymore right well no then once people found him to be a slight bit shady they had to finally you know kind of push him to the side they put msnbc didn't push him aside for being shady well no they don't care they they held big umbrellas with his face on it and twirled around on what was it jimmy kimmel or something or colbert or whatever oh yeah the dancing needles he didn't he didn't get booted from tv because he was shady because kovid's not relevant anymore so they don't need him people like that they're salivated the idea of locking down again because it keeps them in
Starting point is 00:48:05 the news and it gives them power of course they love power yeah that's what a large part of it is is power and that's the problem is if if you're supposed to be somebody who's out there protecting the public and all you do is hurt people why would anybody believe you anymore i don't understand the logic now i do agree people are dumb i mean not even dumb they're scared and they are definitely to believe things, and they're going to be gullible, and they're going to do anything to protect their families. But how much more evidence do you need that that didn't work? I have a theory with Fauci. I think that he really believed he was helping people, and he was being used by the pharmaceutical industry to sell pharma drugs for profit. Let's just find a guy
Starting point is 00:48:45 that's obsessed with public health. Because I try to picture Fauci being in a back room, being like, we're going to make so much money on this. But I just don't see it. And that's why people liked him, the amount of people that did, because he truly believed what he was saying. Like, they're going to help you.
Starting point is 00:48:57 You're going to get the thing. It's going to be great. You're going to be fine. Wear two masks. And everyone's like, he believes it, so I believe him. Isn't he the highest paid government employee though i was was he makes he was making tons of money he has the biggest pension or maybe not anymore but to me it's hard to believe that this guy isn't aware of money
Starting point is 00:49:16 especially when he signed up to do a documentary with disney i mean like yeah when he's like hey i made aids worse and i throw like a girl there There is a desire to have attention and be famous there. I think the desire to be compensated and paid is part of that. Yeah, and it's almost irrelevant to muse about what his intentions were. I don't know. Yeah, we'll never know. But he did make a lot of money, I would imagine, during the pandemic. Unless he comes on the show.
Starting point is 00:49:38 And he became very, that would be awesome. Well, and they were pumping out that documentary while they're like, you know, the human trafficking one? Just keep that one shelved. Yeah, don't talk about that one. But let's make sure everybody finds out about how great Fauci is. Just recently? Yeah. Oh, I didn't see it.
Starting point is 00:49:51 What's it called? The Sound of Freedom. I was talking about the Fauci doc. Oh. No, there was the one on Disney+. Oh. Yeah, they shelved Sound of Freedom. And now it's a sleeper hit.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Yep. Makes 125 million so far. Yeah, yeah. 25 numbers numbers and now what the the smear from the left is these outlets is that no one's actually seeing the movie that in reality they're just paying for tickets but no one actually seeing it well you can pay it forward i'm so desperate that's that's like a terrible argument you can literally buy tickets from scanning at the end of the movie and people are buying them so let's say they're not then
Starting point is 00:50:28 people are still buying those tickets i bought a thousand dollars worth of them just to give them away yeah pay it forward thing which i thought that was a cool i bought a ton of tickets why it wouldn't matter one way or the other it's still profiting for the movie let's talk about this we got the story from the guardian let's pull this up sound of freedom passed the 100 million dollar mark who's really watching the movie they say the q an The Guardian. Let's pull this up. Sound of Freedom passed the $100 million mark. Who's really watching the movie? They say the QAnon adjacent film, co-opted by the right wing, has a pay it forward scheme resulting in sold out shows but empty theaters.
Starting point is 00:50:54 That is a lie. It's a flat out lie. Their evidence is that they went to a local theater. Check out the weasel language they use here. According to Fandangoango all but 28 seats had been sold for the 3 p.m screening of sound of freedom as the lights dimmed however the guardian counted 45 vacant seats dotted around the half-empty theater full stop the lights dim twice when a movie ends the lights go full brightness then the lights will dim slightly for pre like
Starting point is 00:51:21 the the movie go whatever it's called pre-screener where it's like you know lasers and you hold up your phone and stuff then it dims then the lights shut off my question is are they lying by manipulating so uh being factual but not truthful in that when the lights dimmed half the theater was empty are you saying that people showed up early for the movie and then when the lights dimmed for the previews, the theater was half empty? Or are you saying when the lights actually dimmed for the start of the film, the theater was empty? Check this out. He says minutes before the 630 screening, Fandango showed that only two seats were available.
Starting point is 00:51:55 Again, there were more than two vacant spots as the film began. Three. Wow. What does more than two mean? Well, that's empty. More than two definitely means it's not a no one is there it sounds like what actually happened was the theater was half full before the previews even started right the lights dim and they're like theater's half empty yeah then
Starting point is 00:52:16 before the movie actually starts there's like six seats that are available and they're like more than two more some people didn't shop yes some people missed their movie well take a look at this currently sound of freedom's at 124 million was obama's chef that's right and uh number three only behind barbie and oppenheimer of course those are the big movies that just came out sound of freedom is beating mission impossible yeah sorry tom cruise take that beating mission impossible you Impossible. You know the Flash is considered the biggest, it may be the biggest box office bomb in history. Wow. Did it just come out?
Starting point is 00:52:51 It's odd when you take somebody who kidnaps women and tortures them and then you're like, you can still be the Flash. Oh yeah, what's that guy's name? They made back like 260 of their 400 million. So they were like, we can't cancel this film. Look, I'll take 50 cents on the dollar, but I'm not taking zero.
Starting point is 00:53:10 I really like Michael Shannon, too. I feel bad that he's got to take a hit on that one. Yeah. Who is he in the movie? I guess he's the bad guy. I don't know who he plays. But I wonder how many of the people involved with the flash are making money off of it. Like when 240 million comes in of your 400, does the production house eat it they're like sorry black rock esg we'll pay it forward yeah we'll
Starting point is 00:53:29 donate to some kids in rwanda or something i also feel that with superhero movies it's like it's fine we'll just make it all back with every other superhero movie we make this year yeah don't worry about i assume it's not like per movie there's an ultimate you know yeah line and even that it's like yeah we lost a couple hundred million but we still made back a few hundred million so it's not like the end of the world for these studios okay no i i mean i think i think it's about netflix right now netflix had a bunch of um like house related flipping shows that are all netflix originals like that they're like you're looking at these these things you're like how much is the budget per episode here but it's because ultimately netflix is trying to decide which style of show
Starting point is 00:54:08 people are going to watch which they'll renew they're able to throw up a ton of losses if they can ultimately decide it's worth it as a business investment because they are making money off of other things yeah did you know there was a movie called ruby gilman teenage kraken that came out no i'm just like looking at the box office oh wait this is the one where there's like a mermaid yeah it was like a month and a half ago i guess right that one must be doing very bad terrifier the blackening the boogeyman the blackening i wanted to see what is it it's like a horror movie but it's uh it's by the people that did um get out oh no not get out but i see i see what you did i don't know i know anything about movies no no they did um they did a parody too of another uh it is like parodies of black movies
Starting point is 00:54:51 um but this one is yeah they all go to a camp or go to a house in the woods so it is like all black people in a house in the woods horror movie the the tagline is we can't all die first exactly yeah that's awesome yeah so i do want to see that one, actually. The big news is... Meet the blacks. We're nearly 20 days on, nearly about three weeks on. Sound of Freedom on Saturday hit $7.5 million. I'm sorry, on Friday they beat Mission Impossible by $140K.
Starting point is 00:55:22 They lost Sunday by about $400K, but then almost $700,000 Sound of Freedom beats Mission Impossible on Sunday. The crazy thing is Sound of Freedom has consistently been hitting millions every day. Saturday, July 15th, $10 million. Friday, $7 million.
Starting point is 00:55:42 This is amazing. So here's what I want to say about The Guardian. They're trying to make it seem like suspicious sales, the theaters are empty, but they're claiming they saw it. And I'm like, There were two seats with people that weren't even in them. If you think you're going to go to Hollywood Studios and say, don't support these movies,
Starting point is 00:56:00 people are willing to pay to see it and not actually even go to the theater. The studio is going to be like, wait, wait hold on people are giving money in exchange for nothing they're just like literally giving their money away can we make more of these it's even why would a studio say no to that yeah or a movie house because it's less upkeep on the house to have to clean after exactly yeah people have to be like their morality tales and the guy the studio is like oh i, I work for the devil. Is there a way to do this? There's a slight con for me here. Where we're evil?
Starting point is 00:56:28 Yeah, yeah. Oh, I can't make these at all. It's kind of even our contract. I love how their smear is, this movie was so important that people are paying for tickets but not actually going. As if that's going to discredit it in any way it's the most it's a capitalist dream you mean i can bake the cake and keep it and you're gonna pay me money anyway just that's amazing and you know this semi-feminist uh barbie movie is not able to say the same thing like our movie is so culturally important please buy tickets for other
Starting point is 00:56:59 people people you may not even know like where is is the Barbie go buy tickets for other people campaign? It doesn't exist because that movie obviously doesn't tell a story that people want to hear or feel a moral imperative to share with other people. That's one of the things that's so unique about Sound of Freedom. You just can't replicate that everywhere. Well, no, and it's very important for people to see. I mean, I have a son right after I saw it. He was wearing bright yellow for the next three days because it's haunting. I mean, it really is a terrible story.
Starting point is 00:57:28 And it's very real. I think it's odd that it's taken this long for people to kind of open their eyes in this way to human trafficking because it's everywhere and it's been everywhere in plain sight for a very, very long time. But at least it's finally out there and people are getting to be a little bit more aware of it but it it's important and it's important that these tickets are available for people because a lot of it is just for people who can't afford to go to the movies that's why people are buying them so you can just go and see it yeah it matters and that's not barbie it's like you've made 800 barbies now for everybody where you have like handicapped wheelchair barbie you have spina bifida barbie you have all these things, but then you make the movie
Starting point is 00:58:06 and it's just hot ass Barbie. He's not joking, ladies and gentlemen. No, I'm serious. Why didn't Lizzo play Barbie? I was shocked she didn't. But they found him. No, for real though. No, I think they would.
Starting point is 00:58:16 That's why everyone tried claiming Margot Robbie was unattractive. Because the reality was... It's a lie. Oh, I know. She's conventional Hollywood attractive. Like what? She's like the conventional Hollywood beautiful actress.
Starting point is 00:58:28 Yes. But they have to say that because then people are going to come up, oh, why wouldn't Barbie? It's a feminist film. Why didn't they cast Lizzo? Mm-hmm. Or a trans woman. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:58:37 That's why I don't even look at the cover of Sports Illustrated, because I don't know anymore. No. Well, the reality is their ideology is nonsense. It is. Here's the funny thing. Remember the movie Bros? You know that one?
Starting point is 00:58:49 Yeah, I know that one. Oh, the gay comedy one? Yeah. Okay. It bombed miserably. It was like one of the worst... Yeah. Bombs.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Yeah. And he's at this show, and he's walking through the aisle being like, Everybody, please go see this movie. You have to. Nobody wanted to pay a dime for it. Especially gay men. I mean, look, maybe they did want to see it i don't know i'm just saying he's the ones i knew were like no but if you're talking to three percent or like point one one percent of the population your market cap is going to be one percent of typical box office market cap if you
Starting point is 00:59:20 make a movie that's like called all men are dumb don't expect men to go see it if you make a movie that's like called All Men Are Dumb, don't expect men to go see it. If you make a movie about a gay relationship, don't expect straight people to go see it. Well, they didn't. Here's the thing. Sound of Freedom is the inverse of that. People on the right, post liberals, people who care about this issue, they want the movie so badly they're willing to pay extra for other people to go see it. Yeah, it's like information. Like you're actually going to see to go see it. Yeah, it's like information. You're actually going to learn some information. It's a drama about a real-life story,
Starting point is 00:59:48 but you're still learning about real-life things. So it's like a documentary. And sadly, you're getting clips of the real-life events. Yeah, literally. Yeah, and that's horrifying, but when you see it, you realize how, you know. How fast it can happen. Yep, and how, you know how fast it can happen yep and how you know
Starting point is 01:00:06 little people can do about it because you have grown men with guns who pull up to kids playing soccer or whatever on the street and what are they going to do they're just trying to save whatever kids are just sitting there and then you have and then what are the most egregious places where human trafficking happens they go right to los angeles it's one of the top three. I also want to point this out too. In the Guardian story, it says in a theater located in New York City's Times Square on Thursday afternoon,
Starting point is 01:00:32 there seemed to be evidence of this. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You mean to tell me that a Thursday afternoon they sold half the theater out? I don't buy it. No, no, no. A Thursday at 3 p.m.?
Starting point is 01:00:41 That's impressive to me. Yeah. Yeah. We always go, who goes to a 3 p.m thursday showing the if you even look at the sign of freedom box office it's big days are weekends duh this is why movies get released with thursday previews over weekends so you're saying two weeks out almost three weeks out on a thursday they were able to put fill up half the theater yeah come on well it looks like they filled up almost the entire theater by the time the movie started.
Starting point is 01:01:07 No, no, but two seats. What are you talking about? All but two, at least two seats. No, no, it's more than two. That means three. Do you think there were tourists on a Tuesday afternoon in Times Square? That's my guess. Maybe, but what I find fascinating is the fact that they're not acknowledging that you
Starting point is 01:01:20 could go to any movie and be like one of two people in the theater and they still consider that movie a success right this this idea that they're not filling they're not selling out every single show every single time but they're still making tons of money is irrelevant to them they're manipulating all of their data to try to make this look bad it's the same thing with this like q anon slur right like they have just decided this might be the way to scare people away from going right to say like actually that many people aren't seeing it you're you're confused because actually not every seat is sold and we checked this one time like it's it's ridiculous well it's interesting because it's the only place in time square that you're not spending money on
Starting point is 01:01:58 human trafficking at that hour that's man that's no it true. I'm just saying it's a creepy place. I lived in Newark for a while. You do, yeah. There's a... Really, and then... Of course, if you eat, don't finish your red lobster, you can just set it
Starting point is 01:02:13 on a homeless guy's tent because that seems like a good idea. Yeah. Until he wakes up and he's like, why are there rats everywhere? There's a meme. Rolling Stone said something like the QAnon film insulting sound of freedom
Starting point is 01:02:27 and then next to it it's juxtaposed with the in defense of cuties oh yeah very weird that you would you would try and dog that sound of freedom of you it was pretty how can you give a good review to something like cuties or something that obviously exploits children and then you're like well i didn't care for the acting in this one you're like you mean the real footage yeah the real footage of it happening it's almost like they're okay with children being harmed something something about that i can see this if the argument they're making if like for instance of the 130 million 30 million dollars was like george soros or some wealthy investor that bought a bunch of paid for a bunch of tickets and no one saw him and you're like yes 30 of the numbers were inflated.
Starting point is 01:03:05 That would be a story. But if it's like people, two or three people didn't show up to a Tuesday afternoon movie, like, wait, the jury's out. Wait till we have some real data before you try and start slandering this thing.
Starting point is 01:03:16 Cause people obviously like it. Well, let's, let's like you said though, it's like, sorry, I didn't mean to, but it's like you said,
Starting point is 01:03:21 the sense of community, all of a sudden there is a slight sense of community and people are freaking the hell out and writing articles about it. Let's talk about Snow White. We had this from TMZ. They say Rachel Zegler Snow White old woke interview resurfaces ignites right wing rage. It's really weird to me that honest and average is considered right wing because you go and talk to the average person and you will find they hold these opinions so anyway you may have seen the news that they had the same as snow white and the seven dwarfs i'm pretty sure that's not what it's called anymore because now
Starting point is 01:03:58 it's like what is it the seven companions or something yeah and one's a dwarf just the one guy just the one so you've got you know like a white guy you've got a couple black people you got a fat guy another white guy a guy who is presumably black maybe ethnically ambiguous one uh little person and then another guy so uh the story apparently is the new snow white movie will not be about her being rescued by prince charming or anything like that it going to be her trying to actualize her girl boss dreams or something. Boo. We should watch
Starting point is 01:04:29 the interview. It's just really... That's the worst. It's terrifying. Two minutes. Here we go. You said you were bringing a modern edge to it on stage. What do you mean by that? I just mean that it's no longer 1937 and we absolutely wrote a Snow White that is... She's not going to be saved by the prince. White that is not gonna be saved by the
Starting point is 01:04:45 Prince she's not gonna be dreaming about true love she's dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be the leader that her late father told her that she could be if she was fearless fair brave and true so patriarchy it's just a really incredible story for I think young people everywhere to see it's not Snow White Snow White is running for president so you're a hispanic cleaning lady campaign i am fearless fair brave and true like so make a new package was it yes snow white was like cleaning yeah she was a cleaning cleaning lady of the house yeah so but that's what she's saying they're not gonna do oh i thought she was still had that same role but then she wants to be a boss no no no this movie is not This movie is not Snow White. It's like, there's no dwarfs.
Starting point is 01:05:26 Dwarves? I don't know. There's one dwarf, but he's worthless. She never touches him. But here's what bothers me about it. Yo, the seven dwarves were not little people. They were fictional, mystical creatures who mined gemstones in a mountain. They needed more diversity in the mining crew, though.
Starting point is 01:05:44 World of Warcraft, you're done. You gotta get rid of the whole dwarf race. This idea is a stereotype that little people are mining. I don't know where it comes from, but it's gone. They look like gnomes, too. Like the world of Warcraft gnomes. Yeah, they weren't like, yeah. They weren't like dwarves.
Starting point is 01:05:58 They're fictional mystical characters. I mean, this is ridiculous on its face. Happy, sneezy, dopey. Like, they were like, they represented emotions. They lived in a house in the woods and mined represented emotions now now now hold on there a minute do you think they're gonna give these names to these people dopey who's gonna be dopey who's the one that's on heroin yeah sleepy is also on heroin yeah yeah grumpy just doesn't have heroin yet. Doc is just the pill mill. This reminds me more of Hook, the movie with Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman.
Starting point is 01:06:33 Yes. The Peter Pan movie. And these look like the Lost Boys. They're just kind of regurgitating the Lost Boys. Yeah, one is Rufio, except he's just drugging her all the time. I'm sorry, dude. This movie's going to bomb. It's going to bomb because here's what's happening regular people like i went outside i was always touching
Starting point is 01:06:50 grass i actually i was touching sand because i was in tijuana but i'm hanging out and talking to regular people about all the stuff and they're like don't know don't care this is weird they just want regular stuff like we're used to you can't have this rapid cultural shift in the span of six seven years people are just weirded out by now terminally online people on the woke left will say things that make no sense just agree with each other like uh you know everyone brings up to me non-stop the clip with um lance from the serfs when he said a woman should be able to get an abortion whenever she wants it's her body and then asked him about meth he goes well she can't do that intentionally kills the baby everybody and then dave chappelle goes gotcha bitch so everybody
Starting point is 01:07:28 someone made that edit and uh that that is a contradiction in the mind of an individual who doesn't have convictions or logic he has tribal acceptance he will say what he is supposed to say and of course this is why many leftists don't come on talk shows because there's no logic to their ideas they're saying things that they're supposed to say. Regular people don't live in that world. So when you bring woke Snow White girl boss and the seven companions, they're going to be like, oh, are they going to do a Snow White with the prince? I want to see that. Also, girls like talking about love.
Starting point is 01:08:00 They think about it all the time. And relationship is way they're hardwired to pretend otherwise is stupid. It's disingenuous, also ridiculous. I saw this interesting thing on Twitter, and it said the reason women get offended by mansplaining is because men and women communicate with each other differently. Men talk to each other about things they know. Women talk to each other about their feelings on average. So when a man starts talking to a woman he starts talking
Starting point is 01:08:25 about knowledge-based things and the woman doesn't like it women talk about feelings that's what they prefer more and you better listen so but but ultimately what it comes down to is how many people really she's like it's not 1937 anymore she's going to be the leader she can be okay well here's an honest question how many women genuinely want to be world leaders a lot of them do don't get me wrong i'm not saying they don't i'm saying if i'm willing to bet if you polled the average woman go to times square and walk up to as many people as possible and say would you want to rule the world men are probably two to one gonna say yes women two to one gonna say no someone on twitter it's i'm'm saying it's absolute a lot of women all say yes for sure no but a lot of these stories have to come from a place of knowing
Starting point is 01:09:08 and i guarantee you a man wrote the script or green-lit it or gave notes like there's a nsnl sketch not that they ever do very well with it but there's one where it's like a house full of people and it's like one of the reality shows and there's lesbians and the whole joke is the two women are laying in bed together and they're going like i see you i know i see you too i see you and i see you and it's hilarious because if a guy wrote that it would be like what doc martin's they both were construction like it would be this hacky but it was actually really funny because it was written from a place of understanding who they actually were to make fun of it so you have this thing that doesn't actually make sense to any guy and you probably have these studio heads going like yeah she wants to be a boss lady like we'll
Starting point is 01:09:51 do it like that right that's what all women want and you're not going to get anything that connects with an audience so here's the issue how many uh how many women want to see a movie about a woman being in charge and how many men want to see a movie where they're like the man is not needed and not useful none i'm sure some right it's a market for it but it's probably small well yeah here's the question why are there so many how come how come none how come 95 of strip clubs are women the girls that work there you mean the people that work there yeah 95 of strip clubs are women stripping i would say testosterone is probably the number one reason how come it's not 50 50
Starting point is 01:10:29 yeah these feminists don't want to go there it's it's interesting it's like they're not seeking out the women you know what you know what i'm emphasizing about impregnating i've seen those bear movies and those fat ants sure go to town women on average are not attracted to submissive men who are being controlled by someone else. That's true. This is my opinion. I'm not making it up. I was reading studies on the disparity and what they've found is women go to male strip clubs typically because it's funny.
Starting point is 01:10:58 Women go to female strip clubs because it's funny. Men go to female strip clubs because they're horny what they said was that women are not attracted to weak men who are being dominated by somebody else going into a big room where the man has to perform for a group of people who are hooting and hollering is not typically attractive to a woman that's just the way i don't notice seeing the creep that can come out in men who get way too aroused at a strip club i would imagine it's not it's like the girl from the office who's like i'll go i don't mind seeing that but then she'll never talk to you again right because she's seen you at your lowest point like if you go like
Starting point is 01:11:34 if you go to a strip club a male strip club have you been no i've never been to nelson i've been i like so i was never been to danny's in windsor just no i can't say like but the thing is i have noticed a bunch have noticed among my among my females we would go to Cheetah's and the girls would go over there and giggle yeah like
Starting point is 01:11:50 and we would be at what is essentially a whorehouse I've known girls who do that and they're like haha look how empowered so fun but like they're not going there
Starting point is 01:11:57 for any reason right they're going there to be like I'm so forward thinking and edgy right it's the same thing with like when you have
Starting point is 01:12:04 like bachelorette parties and they go to drag shows, right? Like at bars, hopefully appropriately aged, but like they're going, cause it's like kind of something fun and different. Men go to strip clubs for an entirely different reason. They don't go just to be like, look at this fun group activity we're doing.
Starting point is 01:12:19 Like, sorry, you guys are creepy and weird. Guys go by themselves. Yeah. I've never met a girl who's like going alone to an all-male strip club or like any of this. It's ridiculous. Oh, if you do, she's broken in every way imaginable. I don't want to know her. I feel bad for her.
Starting point is 01:12:34 I think part of it is important to acknowledge that like men and women seek different things out of emotional relationships and even like watching movies, right? So there are reasons why you'll have this stereotype of like the movie you go with your boyfriend to see versus the movie your girlfriend takes you to see uh i think the example of this weekend of barbie and oppenheimer right people are talking about this like in a gendered way uh what i think is dumb about this this she's not even thinking about falling in love like that's just such a lie why are you stripping women from their emotional core? Like women are hardwired to seek community and relationships. And part of that is finding a life partner. And that's cool and beautiful.
Starting point is 01:13:11 And if you want her to be, you know, CEO of not dwarf industries or whatever, that's fine. But to be like, because she's too good to be thinking about love. That's sort of ugly towards women, right? That's saying that these things that you feel naturally are thinking something you should be ashamed of and avoid and that's a weird movie for a message to send i do like message for a movie to send i do like that gal gadot is the evil queen because like gal gadot looks at rachel zegler and she's like i am jealous of how beautiful she is like they look the same like they're both they should get an ugly woman to play that role for well i think think the evil queen was beautiful, but she still was jealous.
Starting point is 01:13:46 That was part of her. Maleficent or whatever. Is that who it was? Yeah. Maleficent. It's not that Maleficent isn't beautiful. It's just that she's jealous. And part of Snow White's beauty is the fact that she's so kind and she's sweet and things like that.
Starting point is 01:13:57 There is a youthfulness about her that this woman is jealous of. And that is actually a super interesting concept. Women should explore that because jealousy is rampant among women. You know what women really did like, though? That movie where the dude kidnaps the woman's dad and then she gets Stockholm Syndrome and marries him. Beauty and the Beast. Ah, yeah, they do like that movie.
Starting point is 01:14:19 And he's not even a good-looking fella. What happens? See? Women are not as visually oriented as men. Who kidnaps who in that movie? The dad. yeah the beast kidnaps her dad yo made a billion dollars yeah made a billion dollars beauty is that the live action one where it's like the beast doesn't even look that good fortunately he comes out of the shell and it's it's literally a movie about a monster that kid that like blackmails and extorts someone saying either live with me or i'm gonna kidnap
Starting point is 01:14:46 your dad and then she falls in love with him and he has a big library she's a big library he's got assets that she's interested in and you know he she's not interested i remember watching the animated beauty and the beast movie and i've talked to other girls about this and when they finally show the prince after he like stops being the beast like you're actually like well he's kind of disappointing the beast was like much more like interesting looking there is something that women are not compelled by the way that men are i think that's the weirdest thing that hollywood is trying to sometimes argue that like ultimately women are just as visually oriented as men that they were looking for the same things men they're not that's why they're different there's a reason
Starting point is 01:15:24 for this and that's okay somebody's a big bear man who talks to spoons yeah like dude he's got a castle and he dresses nicely and he got some books that's what they're saying on x someone was xing earlier that uh stop stop immediately women's big z he was waiting to do that they zedied out uh yeah they x'd out that um that's the best one women women want a strong male protective force in their life. I don't know if that's inherent to every woman, but it feels like the movie's trying to write that out. And I'm going to divert back to our little Snow White interview, right? She's like, she's going to do all these things her dad told her she could do. We're upholding the patriarchy, if nothing else.
Starting point is 01:16:00 That's the only winning attribute of this. It would have been better if it would have been more feminist if she said no dad i'm not gonna do what you think i should i've found someone i love and care about and i want to be with him instead the film is the dad being like you're gonna be a great leader and she's like sure whatever you say dad she's like i whatever you whatever you preordain for my life father i'll follow your instructions i'm not gonna go to wellesley and study art or whatever i always thought that was in 80s movies and stuff like that where the guy was a little bit of a slouch or whatever but the girl still loved him like there wasn't that element where it was just the typical guy like the girl made that choice like every kevin smith movie like every kevin smith movie yeah
Starting point is 01:16:39 i guess that's true i was trying to think of other ones but more like you know Uncle Buck I just you know what's crazy is that Gaston's the good guy but he's the bad guy no he's the worst he's so narcissistic
Starting point is 01:16:52 that's propaganda well he's also a gay man who's just trying to be like yeah I want her to come with me little fat guy she's a feather in his hat
Starting point is 01:17:00 he's not appealing to her here's the way here's the way he's an example of what we might describe as false masculinity right he's physically huge but he does not actually a good companion no no what i'm saying is you're getting a story from the beast's perspective because history is written by the winners so of course gustans is awful dude he's a veteran that everyone loves clearly like he's
Starting point is 01:17:19 he's built generated esteem within the community for some reason and they're just smearing his good name. He tries to save her. Beast kidnaps her dad and then forces her to live with them. She gets Stockholm Syndrome and he's like, hey guys, can we get together and save this woman and her dad? And they're like, you're evil, you're a bad guy. Stockholm Syndrome. She goes and lives in a castle where enchanted things take care of her.
Starting point is 01:17:40 She's forced to. He locks her room. I don't know. The teacups come out and dance. She's having an okay time, I will say. To be fair, it is like... That might have just been a hallucination. I mean, you don't know what he was doing. It is also strangely, like, communistic that the prince,
Starting point is 01:17:56 minding his own business, gets a knock at the door, and some witch is like, give me free stuff, and he's like, no. And then she's like, okay, now I'll curse you. You know what I mean? He's like, I'm in my house, you know, I'm minding my own business and i get cursed what did i do wrong the beast he would get angry that was his like worst fault like he never beat the hell out of bell if he did the movie wouldn't have got made for sure but she probably would have left to be fair i would hope that she would leave in that situation she's getting beat up by the beast
Starting point is 01:18:20 but like she's kidnapped we may have not seen that part that's true plus she was largely covered in most of her body we don't know yeah there's no ripped clothing or anything he was a gentleman a beastly gentleman he could have been punching her in the legs half the time right we're having the candlestick is doomed to fail i don't understand why we're doing this i don't understand why you have to keep remaking animated disney classics right you think no idea that the dancing teacups are gonna be good in this version no that's half the charm there's also no angela lansbury so no thank you she was lit she carried the 80s man yes she did you're telling me that relationship podcasts are completely dominated by women but this wench is not thinking about falling in love like you're
Starting point is 01:19:02 just lying what was it yeah i don't want to say the aladdin movie which came out in 2019 made a billion dollars as well so i won't be surprised if this one makes some money but it's a question of where snow where a little mermaid is in in terms of box oh yeah i would like to see those numbers did that do okay i wonder i people were mad it's like i just don't care i only care because uh redheads are a genetic minority on earth and we just erase them from a casting position that's true and you are a redhead yeah that's true i have even more genetically redheaded relatives and they you know are not being able to see true redheads on on that that's the only thing i care about it looks like it looks like a so i hope it hurt a little mermaid is a break-even film right now oh my god oh so it actually is
Starting point is 01:19:51 well i think bomb but it's not it's not an amazing success like they were kind of pretending it would be well i mean these other movies have had a couple years to hit the billion dollar mark so i mean if they made their money back you know there you go do you think with snow white that the story is they think it's not going to appeal to young women because she's kind of helpless throughout the story like she's she falls asleep and she's kind of out of it for half the movie almost i think they miss the charm because they're they see this character that's you know taking care of the dwarves and packing lunches and like helping them get their house in order and they feel as though that makes her seem too domestic and subservient to these like mythical male characters uh and i think what they miss is the pack the fact that she is like a service-oriented person who's very charming there's a lot of joy
Starting point is 01:20:30 you know she's constantly singing i think they miss the things that make snow white have the beauty that the witch is actually jealous of it's not just physical beauty it's like beauty in the soul so they scrub that because they feel like those things make her too subservient it did weirdos it did do bad the release uh it is still one of the highest grossing memorial day opening weekends its projection was 120 to 125 million it hit 118.8 so just shy of its target however outside the u.s it did not do it that well it fell short of expectations so it still looks like i'm assuming with a budget of around 200 and some odd million dollars their marketing budget was probably around 200 million as well so it looks like as of right now they're slightly above break even and we'll see the thing
Starting point is 01:21:12 is movies are all built upon the previous movie not the current movie what i mean is pirates of the caribbean 2 did well because pirates of the caribbean 1 was good and you know when when the first pirates movie came out, I did not see it in theaters. I saw it afterwards and was like, wow, that was awesome. Same, yeah. So when the second one came out,
Starting point is 01:21:30 I was like, let's go. And then I was like, that movie sucked. Agreed. And this is where we're at. People might be saying, I want to go see Little Mermaid because I liked Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. And now they may be walking out going like, huh?
Starting point is 01:21:41 So we'll see. I think the Snow White film will probably be a lot worse i watched that first aladdin movie probably 50 times that cartoon with robin williams all of those disney cartoons are fantastic a part of it is because and i wish we had our resident cartoonist here uh the imagery and cartoon manipulation allow you to do things that you obviously wouldn't get to do with live animation my example here would be the live action Lion King, which I didn't see, but everyone who I know who saw it was like, it just, it seemed weird and kind of creepy. It didn't have this like adorable animal talking interaction.
Starting point is 01:22:13 It didn't have the charm that animated movies have. You can't just make something live action. I liked Bill Murray as Blue. It had its moments. They're going to put people in AI augmented reality. Disney's going to make this. And you'll be able to become the beast. Like you'll be able to experience the woman falling in love with you you'll be able to rage you'll be like smash the the urns on the wall and you're like
Starting point is 01:22:34 ah and you go through that part of the game and then bell arrives but i think do not hit her and you're like no you're you're you're you're under thinking it it's going to be predictive it's murder full full uh environmental destruction totally open realities and worlds the storylines are going to be amorphous there's going to be a general storyline they want to follow and you can easily deviate from yeah if you've played elder scrolls i think uh not was it oblivion that's four elder scrolls where you'd you'd kill a person in the game and it would be like this person was important to the timeline yeah you can choose to continue but the history is irrevocably damaged or you can go back and start over you could choose
Starting point is 01:23:14 i love that about those games you could actually in that game remove a main character and end the storyline it's going to be like that but fully ai so if you do play as the beast you could walk up to bell and just clock her boom right in the face and the story breaks it'll like teach you how to fall how to how to get a woman and then it can manipulate you to think like if i say these things she won't like me if i say these though she will and it'll be programming young men yeah i think it's gonna be worse girl even if you're a guy like if you wanted to be maybe that'll be like the difficulty setting this is what's gonna be be people are going to go into these games and they're going to be whatever whatever they identify as they're going to enter you know solo single player virtual realities
Starting point is 01:23:52 where they just choose to be what they want to be want to be superman you go into superman world you never leave but here's what happens you will live in the pod and you will eat the bugs yeah that's going to happen you know why because Because we right now are one foot in, one foot out of the traditional reality. Yes. People, these kids that are growing up today
Starting point is 01:24:11 are increasingly growing up in the network. It will be ubiquitous and normal to them. Go back 200 years and tell one of the founding fathers, in our time, you have to register your number
Starting point is 01:24:24 with the government in order to work they'll say what no no no no no that can't have happened here it's a free country of a constitution no no everybody when you're born you get your number stamped and you need that if you want to get access to jobs you have your government number you know it's going to be crazy people are going to live in pods, totally in isolation. They're going to do rudimentary jobs. Most, most stuff will be automated. They won't care to ever meet you or interact. Humans likely will not talk to each other for the most part because they're going to say, look, please, can I just go back in my pod? My, my world needs me. They'll, they'll, you'll, you'll get a knock on the door and it'll be, you know, an IRS guy showing up at your house
Starting point is 01:25:04 and it'll be like, we need to deduct taxes from your account. It's fine. Take whatever you want. I live in the pot. I ate the bugs. I don't care. I gotta get back to virtual world. I think you're right but I don't want it. No one's gonna force you. How do we fix it though? No, no. Listen, listen. Ted Kaczynski? Nail bombs?
Starting point is 01:25:20 No. No, I know. I'm joking. I'm completely kidding. You already know that idea failed but he was right about a lot of stuff. He was right about technology destroying the world. Yeah, it was the way he went about it. It was silly. I'll say it. So, you're gonna get old. You're gonna get old.
Starting point is 01:25:37 You're gonna die. And kids will grow up, and it will be normal, and they will just live their lives. You gotta, like, make the world exciting. that's for sure the world is exciting but people don't care man you gotta get your the real world i mean maybe you can talk about this because you actually have a kid but i feel like part of it is not plugging your kids in too early right like letting your kids develop an imagination on their own because if you were just immediately trained to seek visual and simulation
Starting point is 01:26:06 and any sort of creative things comes from a screen, then how much of your brain have you cultivated to fill in the gaps when you are not plugged in? My kid likes to play baseball, drums, all kinds of stuff before he likes to go online. And like he always, but yeah, I think that- Which means he'll like to do other stuff before he decides it's worth getting in the pot.
Starting point is 01:26:23 I would way rather go outside than do, and that's what I enjoy. Like I did show him movies earlier on because I love movies and cinema. Which means he'll like to do other stuff before he decides it's worth getting in the pot. I would way rather go outside than do anything. And that's what I enjoy. Like, I did show him movies earlier on because I love movies and cinema. Older movies, too. But, yeah, the idea of just handing somebody a tablet and being like, there you go. That'll raise you. I mean, I think that's a huge problem today.
Starting point is 01:26:38 I really do. That's exactly why it's going to, I fear that's where it's going. Because these kids are going to grow up in that world. Unless you take away the technology from your kids now, which I don't know, maybe it's possible. I think a lot of people do, and you're right, a lot of people don't. And I think the fact is, too, with schools, I don't know, I mean, our school not as much. I don't know how public schools do it, but a lot, a huge part of that is taking your tablet, taking other things. Like, you are learning on all of this stuff so eventually yeah i mean everything you are learning and everything that's going into your head is part of this whole system that's the
Starting point is 01:27:14 value of it is the data transmission like that you can learn information so quickly you can learn how to where to hit the tree with the axe you learn how to sharpen the axe you can learn where to get an axe but i feel like part of it is training kids to read the first 10 sentences of something and move on to the next thing whereas like if you handed a kid a book and we're like read these things and tell me what you learned it's training the attention span to last longer and you're still getting a lot of information yeah attention spans big shorts make me nervous internet shorts like instagram you really do like i don't like putting that up like i even like putting up like a whole cartoon i've made you know what i mean and but people don't like it as much but there's a value to seeing like
Starting point is 01:27:48 watching them pour molten copper into dry ice i'm like okay it only takes 30 seconds let's see what happens when the molten copper hits the dry ice and it's just fascinating to watch and like if i could have saw that when i was six i could have seen that when i was six would it help me learn but if you saw that and then had to read an explanation of like what actual chemical changes are happening, you would actually be better versed. Like you can say, oh, I saw this video and this is what happened.
Starting point is 01:28:12 But if I asked you to explain why those things are happening, what are the theories behind them? You may not be as prepared to talk about it. Oh, good idea. You see what I mean? Like it's not that technology has to be evil all the time. I just think that there are traditional ways
Starting point is 01:28:24 of consuming information that take longer. So we feel like it's better because it's coming at us faster. But again, that's our desire to have immediate gratification. I think if you watch something happen like that,
Starting point is 01:28:35 though, depending on the age, over time, you can learn it of why it happened if you're interested. Sometimes you can't take in that information just by reading it. I think the idea
Starting point is 01:28:45 of maybe seeing something like that and then wanting to understand why it happened is also a benefit if that makes sense like at least the way that i always learn like showing a kid seven different instagram stories or whatever stories of like science projects and then the one that they like the most you'll investigate that one right yeah or like kids have questions right so like i could see you know if your kid is like where's ketchup come from like pulling out a youtube video that's 10 minutes long that gives like a brief history of ketchup this is a specific example from my real life you know can be good but then also on top of that trying to be like well let's maybe read
Starting point is 01:29:21 about this period of history that this came from or this region of the world, like trying to show them that you can expand knowledge that isn't just like falling down a video hole of like things that are slightly related. It's a very different way of giving children knowledge. You're actually a parent, so you should probably talk about this. No, I'm not saying, I don't think you're wrong. I mean, if my son asked where ketchup came from, I'd be like, it's a bottle.
Starting point is 01:29:43 I really wouldn't have any answer for it. I'd be like, tomatoes and sugar? Well, like, that's a full on, like, does your kid want to know what is literally
Starting point is 01:29:50 ketchup made of? Could you, like, look that up? Or is it like, what's the history? How did we get ketchup? Yeah, I'd probably look it up and explain it
Starting point is 01:29:56 more than just show a video, to be honest. A man who had traveled to China and they had katsa and he tried to recreate it and it was a tomato-based vinegar sauce
Starting point is 01:30:04 and he got katsa. And now we have it and it was a tomato based vinegar sauce and he got katsa and they were actually now we have ketchup all kinds of other versions of ketchup too it wasn't originally just tomato it was america's kind of made it homogenized tomato oh interesting some guy was like i deep fried a potato and they were like this is crazy how good you know the potato chip story no a guy was at a restaurant this is the legend and he ordered thinly sliced potatoes with his meal. He got them. They were not thin enough, and he complained and said, I wanted thinly sliced potatoes. These are thick.
Starting point is 01:30:33 And so the chef was like, okay, and he cut them thin and gave them back. And the guy was like, I said thin. So the chef was like, okay, fine. So he cut them as thin as he could and fried them so they were chips. And the guy was like, these are amazing. These are exactly what I want. And that's the legend of potato chips. Yeah, this comes from kisap, ketchup from the Malay word kisap, which meant soy sauce. Yeah, it's a sauce.
Starting point is 01:30:51 And in England, there were several different versions, again, because it got picked up and moved around. So they changed it from soy to tomato at some point. Right, and again, I watched one 10-minute YouTube video on this. I'm an expert now. One of the reasons Heinz is favorite is because they switched to the clear glass bottle before that they were packaging them in green bottles but they were like our way of making it makes them fresher and the color is better because a lot of ketchup was sort of more brown and it was disguised in the green bottle love red yeah it's true it's true isn't it kind of weird that like ketchup is the meritocratic sauce of choice it's yeah it's just like the sauce I'm still down with
Starting point is 01:31:23 it I'm not gonna lie I love ketchup it's amazing I get the good stuff though that has no sugar yeah the organic just straight up I get the trash the corn syrup stuff I eat like a raccoon it was interesting kind of clear that you said kind of in jest that you watched a 10 minute video and now you're an expert because you kind
Starting point is 01:31:40 of become when you gain you're starting to gain expertise just from 10 minutes so like that's a good skit with kids you gotta you gotta balance out the intake because if you watch 80 10 minute videos you're not going to be an expert in all 80 like if you watch one of them and you over and over and you pay attention to but watching the videos with my younger sisters who asked me where did ketchup come from how did we get it uh we got to this part and i was like oh we could go to the heinz ketchup museum and like learn some more about this if you wanted to like there are lots of
Starting point is 01:32:09 ways to take in information that aren't just like online right you can you can do a skit where it's like you know you got the keto diet you got carnivore you got vegan and you have the raccoon diet yeah where you're like you walk into a restaurant and grab someone's half-eaten sandwich you're like see it's whatever's left so it's it's a food you know what i mean and grab someone's half-eaten sandwich. You're like, see? It's whatever's left. It's A-food's food, you know what I mean? Just finish someone's milkshake. And you can explain the reason it's better is that in the average American diet, people tend to have a routine and they'll eat many of the same things. This means a restricted amount of vitamins they're actually getting in their diet.
Starting point is 01:32:37 With the raccoon diet, you get a plethora of different foods, thus getting all the vitamins you need. Yes. And you get a little bit of exercise because people will try to get their food back while you hiss at them and run. I think that's amazing. You should patent this lifestyle. He'll get like dark rings under his eyes.
Starting point is 01:32:54 Slowly you look like a burglar every time you grab someone's food. That's good. You get the crap kicked out of you at a Waffle House with your raccoon dice. He's got rings. Black eyes. Yeah, black eyes. Big black eyes. All right, let's read Super Chats.

Starting point is 01:33:32 four or five every night. That'll be up at 10 over at TimCast.com. But let's read some superchats. I didn't mention some of these already, so let's read some more. Elaine Benna says, I do believe international shipping is in the works. There says, Cast Brew doesn't ship to Canada. Harumph! I do believe international shipping is in the works.
Starting point is 01:33:48 There's like something we have to do. And we may have new products tomorrow. We may. The latest update I got is it looks like we may have the Keurig cups, the decaf blends. I don't think we're having espresso roast just yet, but the K-Cups, it's big.
Starting point is 01:34:03 And that may be tomorrow. We have sleepy Joe and unwoke. Our decaf blends will be available at, uh, cast brew.com. And we're going to be separating right now. All of the blends. If you click it,
Starting point is 01:34:14 you choose ground or whole, but we keep getting emails from people who are like, how come you don't offer whole bean? Because the graphic says ground on it. So we're just going to double it up. So it's going to say ground and whole. And that way people can just click it. Uh,'m excited for that so question on the k on the k cup is it they're called k cups for legal purposes i have no idea i don't know how that
Starting point is 01:34:33 works because keurig was a company that i think they got invented for and then the cups just became prolific it's a colloquial term k cup that's all everyone says let's grab some more super chats raymond g stanley jr says and he's back tim were you chomping at the bit to make content after a week away hannah claire held down the fort last week seamus well haha oh seamus uh we're glad he was here uh i was sitting in a recliner for you know like eight hours a day staring at dolphins uh for the most part it was cool the the view was just the the ocean and you could see the border and there were dolphins and the funniest thing that happened was um and with no disrespect to the wonderful nurse and people there there was a seal okay and the seal was by itself
Starting point is 01:35:15 and the dolphins were bothering that seal but do you guys not say bother in spanish no no do you want to look it up real quick? Hector? Nope. No. Let's just... Well, Hector is a term for bother. I think so. That's true. I appreciate your language.
Starting point is 01:35:31 What is it? La molestia. Yeah. Let me say that again. La molestia. Oh, yeah. Right. Just like do not disturb.
Starting point is 01:35:38 So what happened was... No molestar to bother. That's right. People are saying molestar. So the kind woman who worked there, whose second language was English, said, the dolphins keep molesting the seal. And we just started laughing. And she's like, look, look,
Starting point is 01:35:52 they're molesting the seal. And we're like, yeah. And I'm just like, I know what it means in Spanish. I'm not going to be mean, but it was funny. The dolphins were just swimming around the seal and bothering it. They weren't doing anything untoward beyond that. But it was fun.
Starting point is 01:36:06 So glad to be back. I've seen dolphins do some crazy stuff. They were jumping. That's awesome. Yeah, wow. And then there are these birds that go up in the air and then dive down straight into the beach. Super cool. What were they?
Starting point is 01:36:20 I don't know what they're called. I don't know. I don't know if they were. It was cool. They go up. And they're in San Diego, too. And then you see them dive, boom, into the water and then come out with a fish. They were like pelicans.
Starting point is 01:36:29 The herrings? Yeah, I don't think they're pelicans. They may be herrings. No, not seagulls. No, seagulls aren't smooth like that. Those are just beggars. There are a lot of sea lions in San Diego, though. Everybody who lives there knows it's a normal thing.
Starting point is 01:36:40 Up in California, right? Yeah. And there was like a seal laying on the beach in the morning and people came over and started yelling at it and then it rent the water and the dolphins. Yeah, very rude. A lot of manatees in Hermosa Beach. That was always weird. And in Florida, too. In Florida.
Starting point is 01:36:54 In the swamps and stuff. Yeah, seagulls are on the raccoon diet. Yeah, they are. They're trash. They're air raccoons, one might say. That's why you feed them Alka-Seltzer and watch them die. Do you ever see those pictures or video of them swooping down and taking They're trash. They're air raccoons, one might say. That's why you feed them Alka-Seltzer, watch them die. That's dark. Do you ever see those pictures or video of them swooping down and taking ice cream with them on their way out? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:11 You watch those? It's crazy. No, I would feed seagulls when I was a kid. But you can't do it now. What would you feed them? Alka-Seltzer? Yeah, whatever you had with you. Okay, raccoons.
Starting point is 01:37:18 All right, let's read some more. Fire Burns People says, Tim, this morning you talked about customer service being a robot. The trick to getting by all the robots is to speak complete gibberish regardless until it forwards you to a real person. Incorrect. Good, sir. I am going to teach you all a powerful hack. Have you ever been dealing with customer service and it's a robot?
Starting point is 01:37:38 You bet. And when you speak and say, hi, I'm having a problem with my phone service, it'll go, okay, let me see if I can help you. You said your car problem with my with my phone service it'll go okay let me see if i can help you you said your car service no my phone service i'm sorry let me try again there's one simple thing you have to say to get it to instantly transfer you to a human and you know what that one simple thing is what operator fuck you really i am not joking okay you already swore earlier on so i swore let's make this one already there uh i have learned in most instances what i would first do is say human being and it'll go you want to talk to a representative but i can help why don't you try asking me the question human being i'm sorry i didn't get that i'm like i learned a long time ago that as soon as you say
Starting point is 01:38:21 fuck you it goes i'm transferring you now is it the tone that you said if you go if you say it real nice like fuck you will it be like it doesn't know the tone you can just literally be like hello fuck you and it goes transferring call wow just instantly no problem so i was on the phone with united and the first time i saw united this is crazy united transferred us from our first class flight from Vegas to D.C. to coach. So it was Vegas, Houston, D.C. They abruptly, without telling us, moved us to a different flight. So we went Vegas, Denver, D.C., coach in the back of the plane. I'm like, we paid for this.
Starting point is 01:38:57 Give us a refund. At least they were like, I'm sorry, we can't help you. There were no employees. So we get to the airport. Our tickets are gone. They don't. The app doesn't have them anymore. This is the crazy thing about not having your ticket printed too it's like the
Starting point is 01:39:07 app just gone i'm like how am i getting in go go go to the terminal no employees anywhere not not a single agent so i call the customer service line robot and i say human being over and over again it would not do it finalized went fuck you and it was like transferring your call instantly sent me to a woman who was in south africa and she had no idea what was going on said sir your original flight to houston to dc is still here listed as available first class i don't understand what you're talking about and i'm like i have an email saying you moved me to a different flight coach and there she was like i can put you back i guess there was a delay i guess and because of the delay they just moved without asking us even though the delay there was still another flight we could have uh caught then finally when an
Starting point is 01:39:48 employee showed up they snapped at us and yelled at us and said I can't help you go away so I'm just like this is this is this is crazy the funniest thing that happened though you're gonna love it I'm standing at the counter waiting and a woman looks at a guy and she goes I'm sorry sir we'll get your bag on the plane but the computers are down and i just thought it was absolutely hilarious that there is an issue a man has a bag in front of him the bag should be on the plane with him but the computers are down so they can't do it why only the computer had the authority to allow the bag to go on the plane so the human being staring at the bag couldn't do it i'm like that's future. You're going to require some ridiculously rudimentary task and the computer
Starting point is 01:40:27 will say, sorry. You'll be at a convenience store. You'll have a bottle of Pepsi in your hand and a dollar in your other and I'll say, I'm sorry, man. Computers are down. I can't sell you that Pepsi. And you'll be like, can I leave the dollar here with you? No, I'll get in trouble. I can't do it. I can't trade with you unless
Starting point is 01:40:43 the Mark of the beast yep that's exactly what i was thinking i had one time the most amazing thing with united now that you've mentioned that airline was i was going to get on they go actually we have a flight that's an hour sooner to greenville and i was like oh that's great so i got on the flight and i flew and i was supposed to go to greenville south carolina. So I landed in Greenville, North Carolina. So when I got there to be picked up, it's like, we're at the airport. I'm like, I'm at the airport.
Starting point is 01:41:09 I don't know what's going on. No, for real? For real. They put you on a different... To a different state. Wasn't the airport code different? Huh? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:41:19 Wow. I didn't know, though. United did that. I assumed they were like, you know, aware. So I just took their word for it nobody corrected me so when i got there finally they're like oh you're in a different state i'm like of course why wouldn't i be it is but i want to i want to stress this too i will never fly united again it is no that was the day i stopped delta's the way for me people keep telling me delta it was
Starting point is 01:41:42 3 a.m our flight was at 6 wake up at 3 30 we get to the airport like for something boarding time was 5 20 right so i already have the app with the tickets on it right when we get to security i look at the app and it says c agent and it said denver instead of houston and i'm like what just happened how did i i didn't buy a ticket to denver so you don't you don't need skiing you don't need tickets to get in the airport anymore which is crazy i think you legally do whatever but they were like it's it said ticket available but no seat assignment or anything like that and the guy was like no it's fine you don't need to just come on in and i i went in went to security and they
Starting point is 01:42:17 they don't check for that anymore and then went to the terminal no employees anywhere boarding was in 20 minutes and i'm'm like, what is going on? It's crazy. From Colorado on the way back last weekend, I guess I flew United and my flight got delayed going into Chicago. And I got off the plane there. Like you have nine minutes. Your plane is leaving in 10 minutes. So I ran the hardest I'd run in 17 years. Literally in 17 years, I ran flailing through the airport, and I was coughing up mucus. Thanks, United. I made my flight, though, somehow. Really?
Starting point is 01:42:49 It was crazy. I ran so hard, like red zone hard. It was nuts. Dude, I hate that. And they're like, oh, you're lucky you made it. You're like, really? I know. This seems like it's your fault. Luck had nothing to do with it, my friends.
Starting point is 01:42:59 Not at that time. I pushed myself. Yeah, I can't stand it. And I thought about dudes in the military running with rucksacks for their life. Yeah. And the amount of respect I gained for people that have gone through that, man. Oh, dude, I could never. That's why, yeah, I respect veterans.
Starting point is 01:43:12 The raccoon diet won't support ruck sacking? No, no, no. I can barely get away from the people who want their sandwich back. Let's read some more Super Chats. Definitely Not A Fed says, My best friend was a private chef to a billionaire, would spend weekends at a time at their estate was like
Starting point is 01:43:27 family with them when he quit the billionaire cried and said that he felt like it was losing a family member. Yeah. You know I I I understand that for sure.
Starting point is 01:43:35 Yeah. Yeah. They have someone's in your home all the time. Yeah. Making the food you're consuming so like their spirit becomes part of
Starting point is 01:43:41 you making love to you on Tuesdays. Their eyes. Sammy Scott says I tried to you on Tuesdays. Their eyes. Sammy Scott says, I tried to swim across a river. I'm unfit. I used all my energy about halfway, went back on an empty tank,
Starting point is 01:43:53 got 10 feet from the shore and literally couldn't move. Just started sinking. My mate saved me. Man, crazy. Glad to hear you're all right. Were you doing the thing where you go forward
Starting point is 01:44:02 and then you go on your back and then go back and stuff like that? That's what you're supposed to do. Yeah. You know, alternating. Different muscles. You float, and then... You go on your back and backstroke or whatever.
Starting point is 01:44:11 Then once you get tired, you flip over and use different muscles. Oh, I didn't know that. I've always been a swimmer, though. Nice. Well, don't look at me. I'm not an expert swimmer. All I know is that when I go in the pool,
Starting point is 01:44:22 I just go like this, and I just don't sink. But that's because you're Tim Pool. I mean, you're not allowed to sink. Yes. During character creation, they were like, if you use the secret name, you get plus one swimming skill. Yeah, you get the swimming skill based on your name. You can beat any woman in an Olympic race. Yes.
Starting point is 01:44:42 We will grab some super chats. Let's see where we're at what is this rwg5 says my mom majored in home ec at cal poly san luis obispo san luis obispo she has a ba in being a mom whoa it's crazy that and uh there were like degrees you could get in home ec stuff yeah as see this is the thing for human beings everybody wants social acceptance to varying degrees so guys get it through doing guy things and women get it through get it through women things but now all media and all culture is saying be a guy it used to be that you're like i have a degree in home economics i'm the expert and you would be praised and feel good for that accomplishment so women were like i have a degree in home economics i'm the expert and you would be praised and feel good for that accomplishment so women were like i have something to strive toward this is a good thing and people were impressed by it and then one day they were like nah you should be working in an
Starting point is 01:45:32 office is the power of a woman man at home to to take care of me like i i never really have appreciated it until this point of my life and i don't have kids yet i imagine when the kids are in the picture and the woman is taking care of them, it's like the most amazing. But like just to be able to help me with diet and focus and motivation, like that's, you cannot buy that. I also think we used to think of running a home, like essentially running a small business with these crazy customers slash employees that don't really speak English, aka children, right? Like there was like one of the things that I've read about home ec is like if you suddenly own a home right and we all theoretically go through stages where you have to learn how to like evaluate appliances how do you price home repair how do
Starting point is 01:46:13 you make nutritious food especially in the day and age when you didn't have as much nutrition information printed on the package like how do you sew your own clothes like all of these things that we had to do at one point were and to varying degrees you still have to do they were very serious things that needed management so if you're a man out there earning money great for you someone has to keep the business running at the house and that typically falls woman like it's more than just the emotional support that's a huge part of it but there was a time when we respected that the family was a unit that needed maintenance and care and that was typically something women took care of and because we had these institutions to support them it showed
Starting point is 01:46:48 showed that this was something we wanted as a society when we took those away it was like saying that's not important you shouldn't do it but everyone in this room has a household that needs to be kept up it's crazy to me that we threw that out yeah here's a good one bailey and says elon needs to put in a local tab that shows the people in your city and state are talking about on top of all other tabs. Agree. That's fantastic. That's a great idea.
Starting point is 01:47:10 I think that's a good idea. Yeah, local, and you'll see just people around you posting stuff. That's really, Elon, somebody tell us, if you're watching this and you know him, mention that to him
Starting point is 01:47:19 because it's a really, really good idea, Balian. Shout out. I would love to use that right now because it's really important. When I was in New York, it was easy. When there was something going on, we heard a loud noise. I would search like New York bang and then you'd see everyone posting about it. You can do that, but it's not as easy if you're in a rural area or smaller town. Imagine if you heard a big explosion or something, you could pull up your app or you like a storm was coming in. You open
Starting point is 01:47:40 up Twitter, you press the magnifying glass. There there's for you there's trending and there's local could you just use like your town's like name and state as a hashtag to get out information that way but people don't do that but if they did do that that would be one way of sure but so so right until elon comes through with this change perhaps for this geo tracking device people could do that but it's an issue of do people know? And if you create a tab in the search section that says local, and it just shows you people in proximity talking about what they talk about publicly, that's a brilliant idea. Or if you could change the setting in the local tab to any zip code, something like where you could-
Starting point is 01:48:16 Right, because you'll be traveling and stuff. That would be a great idea because you could even do marketplace like Facebook does. Craigslist is dead. I don't know if you guys have used Craigslist recently, but it's – no one uses it anymore. Just a murder. Everyone uses Facebook marketplace and Twitter could do that with locals. If they already have the geo kind of fencing up with local tweets, you could just start selling products on there. And Facebook marketplace, sometimes you get a subsidized shipping.
Starting point is 01:48:42 It like costs less if you buy something off facebook marketplace and ship it than if you just like shipped it someone directly let's uh jump to another super chat we have self-made woman saying tim at all i know where you stand on this but i'm wired to desire neural link i need that chip in my head experiencing transhuman dysphoria how can i get neural links attention the leaky spigot i have no idea but if you'd like to volunteer perhaps you can go on twitter tweet at elon musk and say you volunteer for the chip what do you see he needs the thing what how did he phrase that do you still have that tweet i need he rhymed something in the very beginning i uh experiencing transhuman dysphoria it was like the very first thing he
Starting point is 01:49:18 typed uh self-made woman says tim at all i know where you stand on this, but I'm wired to desire. Wired to desire. You're wired. How do you get the attention? You want it in your head sooner than later? Just be patient. I'm telling you, people will beg for it. They will beg for it. You know why?
Starting point is 01:49:37 For the chip? Yes. No, thank you. It's not just going to be incels who want girlfriends. It's going to be a dad who lost his son. It's going to be a mom who, a wife who lost her husband. It is going to be a mother whose son was, who died in the war. And in that reality, they can take every social media post that he ever made, and they will
Starting point is 01:49:55 create the predictive text version of your loved one that you lost. And they will say to you, join us, get the talk to nana again talk to jimmy again and people are going to say i will give you anything the pain of knowing the person who i love yes some people will but no no i'm not saying i'm not saying you're wrong either i just can't imagine being so disconnected from the reality of life i mean that's part of life is the beauty of that you knew somebody not i this AI version of. I would think like if you dip off the AI at the end of the day or whatever, you turn the machine off, that it would cause visceral emotional damage in your gut, like hatred, like the most anger filled. But that's why you become addicted to it, right?
Starting point is 01:50:36 Like you never want to leave the AI and then you atrophy and die. You can't maintain any real life social connections. I think reliving that pain though in such a uh god extreme way that would almost cause suicide or some sort of reaction that you couldn't even control i mean that could be so dangerous i i there are a lot of people who are going to be like no how dare you of course but i'm telling you man i'm willing to bet that the average person will just be like don't judge me they're also they'll do it in secret they'll they'll they'll say oh you know i got it for my health i can check my health and then they'll go home and it's not just that
Starting point is 01:51:14 that's there's shame stuff in emotional breakdowns people not wanting to know how messed up they are over the loss of a loved one or a breakup who knows what it is but then there's going to be a lot of dudes doing really messed up stuff i mean let's be real we can we can talk about the messed up stuff dudes are going to do with virtual worlds they can create women will do a different kind of messed up thing they will have their version of twisted demented porn like 50 shades of gray and they're going to plug their brains in in two seconds or it's going to be weird emotional stuff like if they go through an intense breakup right and in the real world they meet someone else they get married start a family but secretly they're still with that other person in this virtual world like can you imagine male or female that level of
Starting point is 01:51:52 emotional betrayal if one day you found out that like the person you love more than anyone else in the world is actually keeping alive a relationship it's it's beyond that they're not a dog or something that you yeah of course love for though i mean is that do we understand the human brain enough to actually play with that to make a predictive text model i think is easy but it's not it's it's it's not just about a lost loved one or a lost relationship it's going to be some dude who's like man you know the waitress is so pretty i'd love to date her i'll date her in virtual reality and never talk to her in real life and you don't know anything about her and you form her
Starting point is 01:52:25 to be whatever you want no because all of her tweets and Facebooks are public you just tell the app to use that to make the person you want that stuff is curated right like you don't put
Starting point is 01:52:32 the worst parts of your life online so you can never really know someone but they don't want it but wouldn't they want the fiction of fantasy but that means that you wouldn't have a true emotional connection you'd have a
Starting point is 01:52:40 but that's that's the point I totally agree with you nobody wants that that's what's weird about it so that with you nobody wants that that's so that takes away from like an invasion of privacy because they've put it out there in the public they can create that person you can google if you can google search it the machine can crawl and take all that text and compile a a ai version of the person at least their public persona there will
Starting point is 01:52:59 be more um benevolent people that'll use it but what'll happen is they'll be really rich and they'll be like i just don't have time i can't buy time but i can buy the apps to download spanish french russian italian i can learn these things rapidly by coding my brain with my money so all these rich people that didn't have time to do all these things will be able to do them in virtual reality really quick i just i disagree that when it comes to only when it comes to language everything else yes i agree, but language specifically, the chip will just translate for you. Oh,
Starting point is 01:53:28 interesting. Right. It's kind of like short circuit. You don't need the data in your brain. If someone says it, you'll just instantly, it'll, the chip will do the work for you.
Starting point is 01:53:37 If the power's on you. Let's, let's read this one from Captain Sunshine. It says, Tim, I finally started working out again and quit drinking, started taking supplements to improve my health. Thanks to your podcast, I've seen the light and decided to own the libs by
Starting point is 01:53:47 being healthy who knew you guys were a health podcast well uh we've recently learned about the raccoon diet another way to improve your health it's a great way to do it yeah uh no glad to hear it um a lot of reps involved yeah there are a lot of reps cut not the sugars no sugar oh yeah working out yeah elimination diets are great when you when you figure out the things that weren't working it almost doesn't matter what you're eating i mean it obviously matters but as long as you're doing something healthy you just cut out the ones that are really nasty with the raccoon diet you just a lot of people don't order dessert so really that's kind of the benefit is you're not going to get a lot of dessert. There's a lot of diplomacy involved? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:25 Yeah, quite a bit. Peter Brunquell says, you always bring up furries in your videos like it's a weird thing. I'm offended. We're infinitely worse. Okay. Thank you for the warning. So that's a real furry, not an otherkin.
Starting point is 01:54:40 Yeah, real furry. So that's one who dresses, yeah. Powder PZ says, the beast saved Belle from a pack of wolves. Fair point. Oh. Fair point. He did. No, real fur. So that's one who dresses, yeah. Powder PZ says, the beast saved Belle from a pack of wolves. Fair point. Oh. Fair point. He did.
Starting point is 01:54:48 No, he did. The dad goes, and he's like, he was trespassing, so I'm locking him in the dungeon. She's like, let him go, and he's like, only if you stay. How do we know it wasn't his pack?
Starting point is 01:54:57 Exactly. Oh, like they fake, it was like, Yeah, it was probably like, false flag. You're assuming he's a wolf, though. He's just a nondescript beast. Yeah, but they don't know that.
Starting point is 01:55:04 They're wolves. The wolves are like, look, we just followed, look, we followed you. The way he smells. Yeah, they just think he's a wolf though he's just a nondescript beast yeah but they don't know that they're wolves the wolves are like look we just fought look the way he smells yeah they just think he's king wolf all right what do i do possibly i don't have a counterpoint right now guys a real scumbag i'm gonna have to re-watch this disney movie and get back to you with some points hunchback wolf thomas sidebottom says ian if you can commit to gaining 20 pounds of muscle i can commit to losing 20 pounds of fat. You have motivated me. That's based. That would include me gaining about 50 pounds or 60 pounds, I think, because what I'm learning is the weight I gain is not all muscle.
Starting point is 01:55:34 It's a lot of fat and water on top of it. So 20 pounds of muscle. How much would that be? 40 pounds total. I'm up five pounds. Four pounds. I was down before we got started. The goal for the music video isn't to get Ianan like super ripped so you see bulging muscles it's to get him just like i guess the
Starting point is 01:55:49 idea is we want to see someone get emaciated so a combination of fat and muscle but not obesity you know what i mean yeah more healthy too because i considered like steroids am i trying to do something optical for the movie and like i would like it to look good but i think the most important thing is that i'm actually healthy yeah yeah you don't want steroids maybe put some makeup on some of the muscles that was like ah but it's like no that's cinema it's okay because it's it's not the guy in the film in the in the video is not some super athlete who's like all ripped and flexing his muscles it's a regular guy and in the end you know so you you were saying that he like dehydrated and didn't eat so he could get way down for the final scene. It was great.
Starting point is 01:56:25 My mood was out of control. I didn't even know my mood was bad, but it was bad. One of those things. I was telling you guys that before. It's such a weird place to be mentally. But it's going to take a long time to do, but it's going to be really awesome. That's what they call method acting. When you actually let your body get to the point where it's supposed to be for the role instead of faking it.
Starting point is 01:56:42 Inspector Tasty says, had my morning cup of rise with roberto jr and remembered this crazy dream i had where tim cast was shim cast then briefly shim cast was brim cast absolute madness hi ian hi brim what'd you uh what'd you think of last week's shim cast day to day i thought it was so fun i mean you know i'm grateful to do the show with all of you but uh i think the thing is like when you work in this environment there are people that i see you know i'll see you when i'm getting coffee i talk to seamus regularly and uh it's fun to feel like we are able to still offer a nice product and tim is able to take a break and you know uh we don't just suddenly fall off the rails it was definitely a a marathon for us though yeah i felt the the train the train was rocking. Yeah. I think it was fun.
Starting point is 01:57:25 What'd you think? It was great. Yeah. Vivek Ramaswamy is one of my favorite humans on earth. Yeah, we had two presidential candidates on last week. It was sort of crazy. Really? Vivek and Larry Elder.

We got to bully Seamus about his transitions. I mean, really, just family memories were made. I'm bummed I missed it, but man, for months I've been having range of motion issues in my leg
Starting point is 01:57:54 and strength issues at a certain degree, at a certain range. And it just, like the last skate session was like every time I jumped, I got punched how was it today uh almost no pain at all it's great like a week later and so doctor said take it easy
Starting point is 01:58:11 still exercise so i skated very lightly mostly just did spins no flips because you know keeping it lower to the ground and everything but had a good session and almost no pain at all and it's it's only it's not even been a full week yet are you nervous on it now or do you still do you feel more comfortable and confident i felt better than i've ever felt in a long time skating it was it was crazy like reflexes everything felt perfect it was crazy that's what people say about the either p what prp plasma or stem cells that it's like you feel better than you did before you got oh yeah it's like fixing everything you know and even improving it sometimes uh i'm gonna see how i skate on wednesday but uh general improvement and the crazy thing like i say it's crazy crazy crazy i i had trouble putting a sock on i could lift my right leg and put on my sock i could not lift my
Starting point is 01:58:59 left leg i'd have to sit down and pull my leg over my other leg to put my socks on. Mine's both legs. After getting this, within a few days, range of motion was coming back. And I just, I'm like, I can't believe this. It's like, it's like hard to believe. Yeah, there's this short amount of time that it changes. Now you know how Bucko's been feeling. Yeah, no joke. He's going to get more stem cells next week, I think.
