Hey and welcome to Tomorrow, I'm your host, Joshua Tupulski. Today on the podcast we discuss pedophiles, cyberpunk and superpowers. Let's not waste one fucking minute. Let's just get right into it. Good. Good. Good.

Good. Good. Good. Good. All right, look, we're back. It's another big week. Huge week of news, huge we're back. It's another big week, huge week of news, huge week of activity.

Ryan just got a neon sign with his name on it. It's insane. Ryan is here, of course. I'm so excited. It's been a lot of stuff has happened this week, but I gotta tell you, this week to me has been a week of getting excited about video games again. Yeah.

Yeah. Here's what I'm excited about right now. So the industry's plan worked. The industry's plan is working. I'm Wolfenstein, new, Wolfenstein, new blood. I'm ready for that shit. Twin daughters, the twin daughters of DJ, BJ Blaskowitz.

Listen, if you see a Nazi, you beat the shit out of it. If you see a Nazi, you get... Heeeeeee. You get your supergun from the secret hiding place on the level that you're on and you use that super gun of those Nazis in the game. In the game. In real life. You just spit on words. You just spit on fists and words and then trip them and run away and then run as fast as you can. No. Okay, but here's the things. Here's what I'm excited. I'm very excited about some things. One is the new blackberry phone. I'm what is happening. Very excited. Everybody's talking about the new blackberry. I was in a bar in but near Penn station yesterday, not gonna explain why.

I had a half hour to kill and it couldn't leave. We've all been there. And I was surrounded by men from Long Island with big guts and they were all like, yeah, she's a real bitch. And like, I saw like four blackberries. Oh, okay, no, that's not the blackberries. My extended family. Why are you excited about blackberries? Do you want to be one of these men? I want to be, listen, I pulled out a blackberry classic the other day.

I was cleaning up my closet and cleaning out my closet just like Eminem. And I found a blackberry classic. And you had a Kim Kardashian moment. And I was like, I was like, I'm gonna power this fucker on and check it out. And I was like, oh, I love this phone. I love it. I love the keys. I love touching it. I love the way it looks. I love like the, I'm getting shit done with it.

I would never enjoyed using a blackberry. Anyhow, but you know what? I always felt like an obfuscation to me. Um, where is my sidekick too? Ooh, that was any how? Anyhow, my vibe. So I've heard, I've been hearing good things about my life. I've heard I've been hearing good things about this new blackberry. Uh-huh. And I'm excited about, I'm

excited about, I don't know, I'm excited about it. I want to check it out. I like the keyboard. I look like the phone looks good, good battery life. Maybe the cameras don't suck. If the cameras don't suck on this phone, could be my new device. It's been a long time since I've been excited. It's been a long time since I've been excited. Here's a Blackberry has never had a good camera. But this is like a dual camera, it's an Android phone.

It's like, you know, they've learned some tricks. You know, maybe it's like, maybe the iPhone getting four cameras. I don't know, who cares? I don't give you shit. I see the one, I just see the one cam good camera. That's all I want. I hardly ever use portrait mode.

It's such a pain in the ass. Yeah, you know, who's gonna take a picture on their phone? Remember that? No, I don't remember that, because I took pictures of my trio. My trio. Yeah, my palm trio. I remember figuring out how to take a selfie

with my flip LG phone in like 2002, like figuring out how to like click the button. Yeah, I mean, you have to feel around. Yeah, and you're like, you just think five, and you're like one middle button on the, one will only be a little blurry. And that's for my space. And yeah, so I don't know why.

I'm like, I'm sure I'll be disappointed, but like here's the thing, the other thing is that the blackberry, you know, their whole thing is I've been security, they're doing a good security supposedly, to look into it. And I don't know, there's just some people's game now. I like the idea about just a different way of,

you know, I have so many fucking typos. You know, I love the game of keyboard. Yeah, by the way, I was talking to somebody the other day and they're like, they were like saying that we're trying to write the word jobs to me. And it was like, Johns, like Bloss, it was like, jerks, jerks, jerks. It's like jibs, I'm like, it's four times in a row.

I was like, jobs? They're like, yes, it's like, I like the idea of being able to put my finger on a key. I don't know. How does the iPhone with a full dictionary and auto correct, still right? And it's not even that it's replacing the words with similarly typed words.

It's just, I'm getting full typos. I'm like, where is this coming from? I'm gonna do a blind item right now. Blahot blind item. There is a very successful, powerful woman in media who uses an iPhone with the Blackberry, the fake Blackberry keyboard that they made for it and told me recently that she bought up like all of the dead stock of these on eBay because she likes it so much. And also this company,, nothing, nothing. No, I'm not naming names.

I'm not naming names, but they, but they blackberry sued this company that made these keyboards to be a snap onto an iPhone. Yeah, and they won. What were they good though? I don't know. I was like, I can't believe you're using that.

Yeah, whenever I see someone, or I never see someone using it, but whenever I'm doing game stuff, they've got like those attachments that you could play like, you've got two joysticks. It's got like a deep head and you could play a game on your phone.

And none of them work. Right, that shit's all bullshit. But here's what I will say, the blackberry keyboard is real and I'm excited. So anyhow, so I might have more to say about that next week. Just keep your eyes. You're gonna put two feet in the blackberry game. Keep your eyes peeled.

On this space. I could be back in the phone game. Watch the space bar. I'll be talking about phones next week. And yeah, I'm excited for, I don't know why. I just think it's a throwback to a different age when people were less horrible. And times were slower.

Things were slower. God, I remember you could be in- You could be in- Yeah, mobile browsers. Yeah, right. How can I not have flash? So that's one thing I'm excited about. What a pure time.

It was such a good time. And then- Also, I mean, the war in Iraq was happening at that time. So what's great? Terrible time if you were in Iraq in Iraq was happening at that time. So what's the great thing? Terrible time if you were in Iraq. I was just talking to him about this today about the, and we're gonna talk about North Korea a little bit the North Korean diplomacy or whatever that's happening

in our country. We're the two world leaders signed each of these yearbooks, have a great summer. See you next, and you see you in the fall. But you know, it's an interesting question because Trump's horrible.

Oh, man. He's horrible person. He's a real bad. He's a, I would describe this complete piece of shit. And yet it is possible. I'm not trying to give him any credit. Through no fault of his own, he could bring about some sort of, I mean, I don't know, listen,

I don't know what we're trying to get. But I think if you could, Ideally, we would get the Iran deal that he also undid. I mean, he's like, he's basically giving, trying to do the Iran deal with he also undid. I mean, he's like, he's basically giving trying to do the Iran deal with North Korea. Yeah. But like, if it happens that somehow we end up getting a more unified Korean peninsula and they actually do dismantle the nuclear program and Kim Jong-un stops making dumb idle

threats. And maybe we can through some further diplomacy, not done by Donald Trump, because he actually doesn't have to do diplomacy. But somebody who does could get the people who are being held hostage and starved and imprisoned and murdered in North Korea, freed. But is there any indication that that's gonna happen?

Not at all. She's not whatsoever, Ryan. Kim's doing the same stuff you always does, which is just like, yeah, yeah, we'll probably get rid of the news It's two. It's two fat dopes. Yeah, who suck in our bad. Be in dope. But maybe something good will come of it. I'm trying to hold out hope that maybe something good will come of it. I don't think anything will, but if it happens, I don't think Trump deserves any awards. But I do think I'm willing to say, I don't completely rule out the possibility that something positive could come of the thing,

but I don't think it will. And I also think the whole thing was just for show. I think it was like, it was like, totally a photo opportunity for both of them. And they're in the both suck. Yeah. And getting back to video games, which is what I really want to talk about. There have been, there were a ton of trailers for new games released at E3.

This is the week of E3, which is the video game exposition that happens. Electronic entertainment. The electronic entertainment expo, which happens in Los Angeles, California. And there are a bunch of games that have been previewed. I actually have it. I think there's a new, there's a bunch of games that have been previewed. I actually have it. I think there's a new, there's a last of us,

two trailer, which I haven't seen. It was a lesbianism in it. That's what I want in every trailer. I've been telling people, I say, if there are no lesbians in this trailer, I'm not watching it. But you're on notice in Nintendo. I'm not playing Super No-C.

Is it the gameplay trailer? Is it the gameplay trailer? The E3 gameplay trailer? I'm gonna watch it right now on the air. Oh, wait, this is a live in this is 12 minutes. It's like a proper long trailer. It has a show's gameplay and like the interstitials. Yeah. Whoa. This is a real trailer. Yeah. Hold on. It's a short film.

I can't believe I haven't watched this yet. Oh, wow, it really is. Oh, wow, there definitely was being stuff in this. You weren't kidding. Heck yes. I want to see more sex in video games. Is it too much to ask for the sex to get more realistic and more playable?

I want more playable queer people. This looks so good. One game. Sony still crushing it.ny still crushing it. I downloaded Fortnite for my Switch. Is there anything I should know? You can't play it if you've played it on PS4. I've never played it ever anywhere.

Oh good. I don't even know what it is. It's fun. Not at all. I just downloaded it and then went to bed. It's fun. I was like, oh Fortnite. I was like, cool.

And then I literally was standing there watching download. And my eyes felt so heavy. I put my Switch down and went to bed. It's fun. It feels like cracky, where you're like, oh, endorphins are definitely being released, but it's not what I want to hear.

I don't want to hear any people who are like, oh, we've fried that, dude, bro. Yeah, I know, oh my god. Is it like that? I literally only played one round last night. I don't do all of you. Is it good? Well, they just drop you in,

they give you like no instructions at all. I like that, I like that. That's how I've lived my life. And I got eighth place somehow. Wow, congratulations. No instructions. That's going to be the name of my memoir. My memoir.

Bad instructions. I literally have never learned to do anything in my entire life. And it's just your hands holding a gadget. Um, cover. Like Twilight put it together. So that, so the new last of us I always saw pictures but I'm excited about that because the last of us is truly one of the greatest games of ever played in my entire life. There's a game that remedy is doing who are the makers of Alan

Wake, which is also one of the greatest games ever played in my entire life called control. Control. Which looks so good. It looks so good. Eat some psychedelic telepathic fucking sci-fi shit. It's like really looks really good. Yeah. There's a little. Remind me of pray a little bit. I haven't played pray. Pray is the game where the bad guys are,

are they're like transformers or like the shape shifters, but they can be anything. Any object in the game might be a bad guy and like turn into a bad, and you don't really know. It's very scary. And it reminded me of that where it was rethinking. You could do anything.

Why wouldn't you just have telepathic powers where everything's shifting? It was cool. It was cool to have. If you, I think we've talked about this before, but what would your magic or superpower be if you could have? If you get up on it.

Yeah. That's hard. I would pick probably in mortality. I could, but I, but that's a super power. But that's like a quality of your existence. You can't be in, no, in mortality doesn't like no aging. No, no, it has to be like a thing you can do. All right, then super strength.

Cause you can put it to use. You can help people win. What would you choose flying in a disability? You can help people. When, what would you choose? Flying in a disability, you can't help. Teleportation. Yeah, that's good. You're both super strength. You could buy it.

You're a slow. By the way, I think it's very telly to about our personalities, but I feel like you're so wrong. Time travel is bad. No. What would you have? Mind control. No way.

Yes. I've seen Legion. Yes. No way. Nothing good comes out of It's worried. Nothing good. Nothing good. Come down to it. You got a God complex. No. Yeah. And you come completely unglued. You go a little bit. Just a little bit. No, you go. No, no, no. Here's what I do. Here's what I do. This sounds creepy. This is here's what I would do. It has nothing to do. I don't need mind control to get laid. Okay. Okay. Insell. I got this. I got this right here. Take a gays upon the, a doneness before you. Okay.

Everybody wants to have sex with me. Here's the thing. Go into a bank. Little mind control. Hey, give me a million bucks. You walk out, you know, go to a restaurant. Hey, I may be allowed for free tonight. You know, mind control. If you Hey, I may be allowed for free tonight. No. You know, you mind control.

If you had super strength, or healing powers, you could make enough money to buy whatever you want and you get all the freedom. And you'd get to help people. Mind control, you get an upgrade, free upgrade on your plane. Plus, super strength comes with super jumps. Things I'm after are very, basically, not a provider.

I want a damn you just want to be wider you want to be wider You want more white privilege? I just want no I want to get money for nothing Just invest Just try Ruther Robin Hood app no, I would want something that could help people in a way that other people can't do very thoughtful

Oh with buying could try help people you know, I do I go to do. That's very thoughtful. Oh, with buying good dragon help people, you know what I do? I go to every Nazi and say cut it out. I go to see, yeah, that's right. I go to Richard Spencer. I'd be like, you are not in a good mood. You need to renounce this and fight for, and fight for the rights of all people. And get a new haircut.

Go to see Trump speak. I do a little mind control and Trump. You'd say get a new haircut. Be like, you will, I mean, what I would say for him to do, I can't say on the air, because I'll be immediately brought in with the, by the authorities. Yeah. I'd be like, you know that I do is I'd be like, you're not going to wear pants ever again. It would be the thing I would tell him. No more. So just little, just little, little adjustments. Death by

thousand cuts, I think. Yeah. Little adjustments. Before you know, the world is better. In any event, I go that the cake guy, the Supreme Court cake guy, I'd be like, you're going to make cakes for your people. I would use my super strength to just push the store over. I just push it over. See, that's very mean. Mine is like, I'm going to make him a better into a better person, but by force, by mind control, that's for exactly.

You're defining what a better person is. Yeah. Yeah. Better person is you make a cake for gay people. That's a better person. You go, I don't care who eats my cake. It doesn't matter. All right.

I'll be healing cancer patients and you'll be getting sunlight up. You're a good cop. And they'll be like, yeah, you're gonna upgrade me to first class. One, one, one. You're gonna be gene gray. You're just kind of good at it.

Yeah, it's more like suggestions. Yeah, maybe not full mind control. Okay. So you want to be the bad guy for just a good show. No, it's like what Obi-Wan is like, you know, he's not the droids you're looking control. Okay. So you want to be the bad guy for just a good show. No, it's like what Obi-Wan is like, you know, he's not the droid you're looking for. Okay. You want little tricks.

I mean, I guess full mind control be okay too. But that's your wish. You can wish for anything you want. I feel like the best one. That feels like the most useful. No, healing the sick. You want to be able to heal the sick just generally, like everything.

I'll charge rich people. Any disease. More people. I'll get rid of that herp. You're gonna be like, who's the guy from the left overs? The phony healer. Yeah, but the real deal. His name is like, he had a really good name.

I'll be Jesus. That's what I'm wishing for, Jesus. Yeah. I'll be a Jew who can heal the sick. Could you also walk on water? Well, here's a clever useful. I don't know exactly, but why was it important that he walked on water? Did he have to go out there for something? It was a shallow day and he needed a show. Was there like, I don't know exactly, but why was it important that he walked on water? Did he have to go out there for something?

It was a shallow day and he needed a show. I don't know the story. Did Jesus walk on water for a reason or just a show off? I think so. Just show off. Why did Jesus, I'm so dumb, why did Jesus walk on water? This is a common question. He would get such bad stuff.

After Peter came down out of the ship and walked on the water. He became afraid of the storm began to sink. He called out to Jesus for help. Oh, I see. Jesus caught him and reproved him for his lack of faith and led him back to the ship, whereupon the storm stopped. If I were Jesus, I would have used like this thing.

Whatever that thing is like the, when you can move things, like, me and a magneto when he throws cars to the side. What couldn't Jesus do that just pull somebody out of the water? Sure, he could have split the sea. Moses did it, if Moses can do it. Jesus can do it. I just think why go out there. Moses is Harry Potter, Jesus has done both.

Why not just do like a virtual lasso? Yeah, like Wonder Woman. Pull them out. Yeah. That's what I would do. I'm not gonna get the bottom of my Jesus. Also, if I get the bottom of my robe wet, out going out into the water.

Yeah, Jesus could have done a lot more with his powers. I think we can go with this. I would have flown. It like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like,

I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like,

I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like arms and flew like a bird to rescue Peter. Yeah, he would look like a real angel. Yeah, anyhow, anyhow, any who okay? So I'm excited about this game control. Yeah, where you can move things with your mind. I'm excited for Steve or Cyberpunk 2077. I'm just a team. Oh my god. I know I like cyberpunk. Well, so I've been waiting. I've been waiting for blade runner the game. I've been waiting for for Cyberpunk 2077 for a long time. Okay.

You're a Witcher fan. I hate the Witcher. I can't say I've tried to play. I've bought both the Witcher and the Witcher 3. And I just nobody played the Witcher 2. I never hear about the Witcher 2. The Witcher 2 is, I don't remember anything about it, But I tried to play the Witcher games and I just, a lot of cocaine and stuff. Yeah, it's too much of that. There's too much cooking and collecting, I gotta get a shrub and some kind of ointment.

I never wanna collect it anything. Yeah, I just wanna, I just need a little bit less. Even in Mario, they're like, get these stars. I'm like, I'm good. I mean, I'll collect stars. I'm good, I'm fine. Look mean I'll collect stars. I'm good. I'm fine. Look, the Cyberpunk 2077, Trill, it looks really good.

I'm so good. I'm KG. I'm a little KG. These guys are just like a little bit too. Paul Gorn actually did a great thing, which I tweeted the other day, which is like they kind of deciphered. They had like a little like error at the beginning of their video.

And there was apparently some hidden text. A little nasty. Yeah, very lost. And they deciphered what was in it, and there's like all kinds of details about the game. I'm very excited about it. I love cyber punks. They're my favorite people.

Of all the punks. There was the best. Cyber punks are the best punks. I love the Billy Idol record, cyber punk. Very good. Any single player game I'm on board with. I know I don't want to play with other people. Fall out whatever, no 76 for me. I'm good. Any single player game I'm on board with. I don't want to play with other people. Fall out whatever, no 76 for me. I'm good. Yeah, I'm what I want. Fall out. I've had a good,

I've had a good run with fall out to me is all about alone walking around alone alone in the wasteland alone experiencing a different life and lifestyle. Mm-hmm. And then blasting mutants. And also no judgment because I I wanna look at this plant, or do this thing, or take a picture. No judgment, it's just me, by the way. I don't wanna spend, I spend, I spend, I basically what I do is, like I did this with a Horizon Zero Dom,

which I've never, I've not completed. I got to like the final thing. And then I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna go and just like do some more quests, some side quests, and like walk around a little bit. And I haven't gone over there yet. I haven't seen that. That's what I've fall out.

I must have played fallout. I mean, I beat it and then I went back to my last save and I just walked around for weeks. I was walking around. Yeah. It's very enjoyable. I didn't really fall out for it, didn't really do it for me. I never really, I don't know, I couldn't get into it.

New Vegas was the best fallout. You'll disagree. I disagree. I don't like New Vegas either. I love debt. Okay, I think fallout three is the ultimate. It's kind of broken though. I'd like to see a fallout three, like reboot, a remix.

Yeah, I need the like attributes to us to forget what they call it. There's just a whole system that like, yeah, that, no, there was another system. I forget what it's called. I love something. But it really made the game better in New Vegas. I didn't was another system, I forget, but it's called something. I love it. But it really made the game better in New Vegas. I didn't love the story of New Vegas, but the actual mechanics of the game are way better. I think it overcomplicated. Any harm to excited about Cyberpunk 2077?

Yeah. Not excited about Anthem because fucking that company, I'm, you know what I don't want to hear about? Micro transactions, loot boxes, working together to get energy. Any of those like mechanics, which I don't trust isn't gonna, that game is gonna be full of. I don't, I don't even know what a loot box is. It's like gambling, but in a game.

I have no interest, I have no interest in gambling. I have no interest in micro transactions. I'm interested in this story. Yes. I'm interested in this story. Yes. I'm interested in, you know, what? I like tell-tale games and they're terrible to play. But the stories are good. Yeah, they're terrible to play.

But the talk stories are great. Are we talking about the Smash Brothers? Oh, yes. I don't know. Exact opposite. No story, tons of fun play. I'm not a big sma- I've never gotten into Smash Brothers.

Really? I don't know. I just not. You weren't engaged with games starting like the N64 stuff, right? The Nintendo games just don't do anything for me. I just, I don't know what it is, like the Mario games and stuff. I know they're great and they're fun. I just don't like cartoon games. It's like a Disney movie, but that you play it. Like your brain turns off and it's just like sunshine

being shined into your brain. It's like a pixie stick. It's not complicated, but it's good. That your brain turns off and it's just like sunshine being shined into your brain. It's like a pixie stick. It's not complicated, but it's good. That's like pixie sticks, I do. I really do. I'm trying to think of what else. Fortnite for the Switch, which again, I haven't played. Hey, Sony, get it together.

No, I think the thing I'm most excited about is control, which is, so me and it was like, you should play Quantum Break, which I've never played. Have you played Quantum Break? I haven't played it. Oh, Death Stranding. I don't get it. I don't get it.

It just anybody know that does like, it makes no sense, the name of the game. Well, that's like a project, Octopath Traveler. Well, that makes more sense. What are we doing? Death Stranding. I'm excited about it. I mean, I like the Norman Reedus is finally getting some more work as a guy with a slingshot or a but Norman Reedus' best work was in the Lady Gaga

video for Judas. Don't remember it. He poured a beer out on her ass. That's a good video. That does sound nice. Oh, I've seen this trailer. I've seen this trailer. Yeah, I mean, I'll play death stranding. I'm not going to lie to you. I want to explore the mystery. You know what? I came out of this thinking of the thing I was most excited about, and it wasn't even a game. Was that Microsoft is buying those studios and they have, they put on a tight show even though they didn't have a lot to show.

And I think what the message was was like that we get it, the Xbox One sucks and nobody wants to play on it. Does it? But they made it very clear that they're not playing for the next round. They want to have exclusive games. They want to put together a really good system with new features like that. Don't overstep their bounds into like controlling you as the player, which they tried to do last time.

And I was hopeful that Sony would have some kind of challenge or step up because the switch isn't really a console that competes with the PS4. No, who would step up? And it's nice to see Microsoft just trying to pull a team together and do something because they're the only people who could give them or run for their money. And without competition, PlayStation has done stuff like this Fortnite stuff where you're like,

are you kidding? I find the whole, I mean, I just like, I don't know, man, I feel like the whole battle between Xbox and PlayStation is just annoying. There should be one platform. No, that don't know, man. I feel like the whole battle between Xbox and PlayStation is just annoying. There should be one platform. No, that would be terrible for gaming. It should be like, but they should have their own, like, I don't know.

I mean, we were talking about as a PC, which is like an open platform. Yeah, a PC. Anyone can be. The PC is a bit of a problem. No, it's a mess. I'm building a PC right now. Oh, I built Windows. I have 1,000 frustrating questions

that I've been sending her about, compatibility issues and bullshit. To help me to help, I've built many pieces. I mean, eventually it just came down to like, I don't, it's hard to pick a motherboard that's compatible with everything and is up to date and also like, now they're coming up laptops that are as powerful as the gaming PC I'm trying to build and I'm like, why not just go laptop? It's a waste of money. If you want a gaming PC, it's just for streaming and editing video.

Seem big screen mode or whatever, which is kind of like, I don't even know if it's a band and where, but when I was using it a few years ago and it was pretty good. If someone could get that together, like really get it together, that would be, no one can't. Because also like PCs, it's like they get so, it's so often that there's new hardware that can make them so much better. Now that is the cutting edge of hardware,

at least on a consumer side. And so like, even if you get the best possible piece you can build right now in one year, the next piece you can build for the same amount of money will be way better. Yeah, it's annoying. But that is the nice thing about consoles, is my PS4 Pro, which I bought,

is compatible with everything with regular PS4 it's compatible with. It's a little faster, it's a little clearer, but it's just plug and play. And I think, especially the geeky nerdy side of things, they the people overlook the beauty of plug and play. It really simplifies my life. I can't I don't have time for a full time hobby where I'm managing graphics cards. I can barely like, do you tell me about it? Read the news. Well, that's not time. It's not for the faint of heart. It needs to be your full hobby.

It's like Broadway people. Have you seen it? Have you seen it? Have you seen it? Have you seen it? We did a piece. We did a really good piece about these PC rigs, all this like YouTube, these like YouTube nerds who are like into PC rigs and stuff.

And it's like really, it's a bummer. It's just so bro, it's just such bro culture. It's like the new, it's crazy on nerds to become bros. It's deep measurement shit. It's truly crazy how nerds have become bros because bros became nerds with Marvel stuff and it just kind of mixed. You blame Marvel. I blame that this, I'm glad we stopped doing this, but we all stopped bullying people and everybody mixed and ruined everything for everyone else. You're saying we should have continued bullying. I think we shouldn't not, not continued bullying,

but we should have continued having a chess club and a sports team. And then they should have been treated equally, but it's just, I have mixed. I blame Glee. Yeah, fuck Glee. Glee. I blame Ryan Murphy, but post that.

Glee is like, oh, the jocks are actually sensitive guys who are great singers. And it's like maybe they are, but they're not. But we don't need to bring jock culture into Broadway stuff. You know what I mean? We don't need to treat everything. It's like, if the head coach of the football team

was the director of the school play and was like, this is what we're gonna do. All right, don't be a pussy. Like, that's not the energy you want. In our statistics, does that happen all the time. I feel like that does. I just feel like the world of like, when I play Overwatch, gay people took over Overwatch,

by the way. We, that's our game. Fuck everybody else. We really have conquered the online play situation. I love it. And a straight people have pushed to Fortnite. But for a while there, it was like, I'm just kidding.

I'm just kidding. It breaks down for us, we're straight people, and it's for gay people. It was for us, also, for kids that don't know what they're doing. I didn't enjoy Overwatch. What? I they're doing. I didn't enjoy Overwatch. What? I just didn't. I didn't know that.

I don't like the mechanics. I love it. I don't like how you see like, you run out of, you can't run indefinitely. You like run out of juice to run. Well, yeah, they're trying to keep things balanced with the bass characters. I didn't like any of the characters, maybe they have new characters now I can get into. They have new characters. And they're like, people I know where you gotta go to get the PS4 version and play with us. I'm like, okay. I don't

play with anybody. It's nothing. It's the thing. I don't want to play against people. Oh, I just turn that off. What do you do then? I mean, I play online, but there's not not talking to anybody. There's no chatting happening. Are you good at playing? I'm very good at it. Are you really? I'm very good at Overwatch. Are you? Yeah. it. I'm very good at it overwatch. Are you? Yeah. Are you like ranked? Yeah. Are you really? Well, I do mostly quick play, but I am like a level 50.

Is that high? Yeah. Not insanely high, but enough that I'm a good at this game. Really? Yeah. I know that about you. That's so interesting. My main is Diva.

I'm too young today. I love her. Is that the robot you play? She's in a robot, Mac. Her name. I think I know you're talking about. Yeah, I play Diva and I do her. Is that that's the robot? Are you play? She's she's in a robot mech her name. I think I know you're talking about. Yeah, I played diva and I do mercy. Um, there's a new there's a new Wolfenstein Wolfenstein. I know you say. Yeah, those are fun. I like I played the last one. I mean, they are such good games. So good. I'm sorry. It has flaws. It has fun, but it's fun. But the last Wolfenstein game or Wolfenstein,

I'm gonna say Wolfenstein. Like Doom is full of flaws, but that's a fun. I'm gonna do him guy. A play Doom VR. But man, fucking Wolfenstein just was so entertaining, so propelling. It's like, you have to, you can't put it down. Of course, the Nazis are wonderful villains. Such a good villain. I mean, in that game, in the new Wolfenstein, the late last one, so many insane, ridiculous things happen. There's so many things that happen in the game where I was like, you've, I mean, I literally was like, you've got to be fucking kidding me. This is ridiculous.

And yet, it's like, it's campy. Yeah, it's really campy. Which I appreciate in a game. Yeah, but it's fun. And it's never too hard. I never want to play. I've played it uneasy. Yeah, the graphics.

Yeah, everything uneasy. Yeah, you don't fuck with that. I want the story, I want to get it all. I'm not here to learn my twitchy trigger. No. Come on, I'm not a sniper. But exactly, exactly. And anyhow, so there's a new one.

It's called Youngblood. It's about BJ Blaskwitz's twin daughters in the 1980s. I love how everything is set in the 60s, 70s or 80s now. Like all the X-Men movies are not set. That's an interesting time. It's like, but it's weird because we're like doing like blockbusters. Wonder Woman. Yeah.

It's set in the 80s. Yeah. Blockbusters are always like in the present. Yeah. Avengers obviously in the present. Yeah. Avengers obviously in the present. But lately we've been doing a lot of blockbusters that are like in set in the 70s. I think we don't yet know how to tell stories with the internet. Like every episode of Friends could have been solved with a text message.

And I don't think most writers have worked around it. I am I in my work. I've worked really hard in my like I write spec scripts and I've been writing like movie scripts and I'm trying to work to really incorporate social media culture as part of storytelling and it's playing that on screen and like a consumable nod annoying boring way. That's not gimmicky. And it's a hard problem to solve. And I think that especially in a blackbuster, you just want to get to the action and tell me how tell me how you start. Go ahead. Well, I was just going to say the Avengers suffers because they have a mix between

regular technology and then like the super alien tech and then they have excuses of why they can't use either to solve their problems. Like the Wakanda bowl of laser protection. And then they were like, man, we should turn it off so that we can really get them. And it was like, that doesn't make total. I don't know what happened. I didn't see the new event. Oh, and the new Avengers, there's like a bowl, like a laser bowl that they put around the city. Oh, okay.

And a bunch of monsters. It's like under the dome. Yeah, and then monsters can't get through the dome. So they're like, we're good. Good. And then they're like, you know what though? What if we let them through the dome? That might be better.

Why? Why nobody knows? But they had to come up with a reason. What's the reason? They were like, because then they'll all come in one way, and we could just kill them all and then be done. Yeah, they were afraid that they would like go around the dome and then like be able to target the city

versus this like large empty space where they have the military. And what if they make all these, oh, sorry. And you know what? When you start inventing stuff like this, you have an inflation problem. And technology currently has an information inflation problem. And so if you're gonna tell Romantic comedy,

you run into the problem of, instead of a miscommunication between a guy and a girl, and having to display the text messages that were awkward and having to talk about it, which we should figure out how to tell. It's so much easier to set it in the 80s and be like, he didn't answer my call. And I lost the tape and my answer changed. So you're saying that people are you setting films

in different in earlier eras because dealing with modern technologies to difficult for storytelling. That and also it's so easy to sell a package of an aesthetic which is like 80s. And currently there's so many subcultures that you'd have to pick like, he's a steam bug redditdit user and that's true.

I love that. But that's what I wanted. I've been trying to do that in my work, but it's hot punk reddit user falls in love with the tumbler cam girl and they've discovered they're both furries and they discovered they're both trans furries. That would actually be a beautiful flip of flip. Anything that gets somebody out of steampunk, I swear you're right, I hate steampunk.

Oh, you mean like they go into, they're like, wait, we're both trans, but also furries. Yes. And they move on. They're out of convention and they're like, you know what we both like. Yeah. And we could do this together.

Both feel like we're actually the other thing and also foxes. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I like it. I like it. I see some crazy shit when I'm on Tumblr sometimes. Oh, yeah. Beautiful of story. I like it. I see some crazy shit when I'm on Tumblr sometimes. I see people's descriptions of themselves

and they're like crazy. They're like, I mean, I don't, sorry. I don't want to be a jerk, but they're like, which, they're like, have shit in there like, which blinding one eye. It's like all of the crazy, all the worst things you can think of. You are not a list of list of descriptive words about yourself.

No, it's like you know how people's Twitter profiles are like, yeah, dead, poet, whatever, you know, it's like that, but like it's INFJ, it's like that. Yes, I have a porn. What is up with this? We have reason like INFJ. It's like that's not even real. They they them.

Yes, we run M. What I personally feel any pronoun, but here's the thing. You are not a list of things that like, you're not a form to be filled out. It's just a weird thing on the internet to be like, we all want shorthand to be like, it's like which chronic fatigue syndrome, they them. ADHD, INFP, capo porn.

Yeah, it's like, all right, I guess. Veditarian. A lot. Love to just have like, we should have lunch and just talk a little bit, maybe. Yeah, no, whatever. I don't want to be the old guy, but it's just like, no, I agree with you.

Some of those are just like, I'm like, wow, this is like, wild list. It's like that tool is useful. You're like, I won't drink coffee. It's like, okay, it's like in the middle of the list, something crazy like hates cherries. It's like, all right, I guess if you're a witch, you don't like cherries.

But like those tools are super useful in conversation to be like, I am a gay person. You're like, great, now I know, I got it. I think it's super useful if you're like, but that's not your whole life. Don't call me him or whatever. Yeah, great. Now I know. I got it. I think it's super useful if you're like, but you don't call me. Don't call me him or whatever. Yeah. Great.

Good to know. This useful. Yeah. But some of them are just like, whoa, all right. I didn't need to know. You were with right off that. Speaking of speaking of, yeah. Do you know about Nathan Larson?

I feel like you're saying something I should know. I feel like that name's really familiar. He's running for Congress in Virginia and he's openly a racist and pedophile. He's an open pedophile. He's like a man-blood. He writes about, like, he is like on his blog, like a guide to getting psyched up for rape, to like, psych yourself up to feeling entitled to women.

It's like a thing he wrote or like, he, the one thing he said, like a pedo woman should marry a pedo man. They should have pedo babies so that like, they can opt into their incest and like, and like, he's running for Congress. I mean, he wrote this last week, like, they can opt into their incest and like, and like he's running for Congress. I mean, he wrote this last week,

like he didn't write this like years ago and he's like, I don't know how to write. I wish the listener could see the look on my face. You look like I just hate you. I mean, what you just said is so disgusting. Yeah, but this isn't even national news. By the way, I'm really not that judgemental of a guy. We have children in prison,

this isn't even national news. It's a dark time. It's a dark time in this world. He openly says like, he's not even just like, we need to redistribute the sex because I'm an in-sale. He's like, this is how you rape someone. It's a good idea too. Listen, the biggest problem.

That's a good idea. The biggest problem we have in the world is that people who should really keep their mouth shut and go and be in hiding at all times have decided that they are now empowered to talk. And I get news for you, not everybody should be talking. Someone asked him, hey, I should keep it to themselves. With some of this stuff like fantasy,

was it practical planning for me? And you know, this is the point at which if you felt shame, you'd say like, well, you know, you put your mind in the mindset of a character, and this was performance art, he was like, it's a mix of both. Well, I'm sure he'll win. What's he running for? A Congress. Him and Elizabeth Warren could be on the same committee. You know, I want to believe in the best of humanity. I want to believe that we can fight back against the tyranny of awfulness. That doesn't make any sense, just tyranny.

Can we fight back against tyranny? I'd like to believe that we can do that, but listen, people, I've said it before, I'll say it again, get the fuck out and vote this year. Vote in the midterms, vote against bad people. Please, I don't care if you don't love the place. Listen, Democrats, I know how you are.

I know you want to love, you want to Bernie. You want to feel good, you want Bernie to come and tell you everything he's gonna make everything bright, you can fix the income inequality. And I'm with you. I'm with you, I want it too. I want everybody to be equal. But even if you really, really hate the Democrat, okay? I mean it, even if you really think there are pieces of shit,

I guarantee you, they are 10 fucking pieces of shit steps higher than the Republican, okay? He had a file. No, just like listen, I know you people want to vote for the person they love, you don't get to vote for the person you love. So as you vote for the person you can tolerate. So as you vote for the person you don't even, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,

you know, you vote, you pinch your nose, you bite your tongue. I'm sorry. You don't always get the boss you want and you don't always get the politician you want. You have to pick from some options you're being given. It's possible, Trump's, it's possible. Trump's, this is how it is right now. It's possible, Trump's greatest destruction that he's brought to this nation is the opening up of norms, the loosening of norms.

I mean, that's what this pedophile guys do. Like, he just wants to be in the mainstream. Yeah, around what we expect from people who are, who supposed to represent us and are in our interest in the government. And I'll say this, we have a lot of flawed shitty politicians, but there has been for a long time a standard of decorum, a standard of generally held beliefs and accountability

around what you do and don't do. They're not always perfect, far from it. Even the fucking Republicans had some sense of decency once a little bit, okay? We're now in like, Cloud Cuckooland. I don't know what the fuck is going on, and it's bad and gross and horrible, and we've got to fight it. We've got to fight it for the sake of our children and our children's children if they even can exist because we may not have a planet at that point. New York magazine ran this article speaking of not having a planet which is like this is what a nuclear bomb looks like I tweeted a picture of it into white van and the entire article is about how like what would happen

if a nuclear bomb was detonated in Manhattan. And it's like, I don't know. What would happen if Thanos was real? Like let's talk about all the things that could happen. You know, it's like, is there news that there will be a nuclear bomb in Manhattan? I've heard this shit for a long time since the first Iraq war. Yeah. That there was going to be a nuclear bomb detonated in Manhattan. I'm not saying there isn't.

That's why I moved out of the city. But that was the number one reason, new threat of nuclear bomb. But you know what I'm sick of hearing about is stuff like that, or when like climate changes a real thing that's going to happen, or like gun violence, like people pretend that there's actors pretending that there's gun violence instead of like, hmm, is it more likely that there's millions of guns? Oh yeah, right. And one person decided to shoot a bunch of people, or that someone paid off an actor to

park for the parkland actors right? We talk about the millions of guns and not the theoretical nuclear bomb Oh, what are we doing? We're wasting so much breath on nonsense. Here's my suggestion to everybody. Okay Get off the internet get off Twitter get off Facebook Just disengage for a minute. You know newspaper, read a magazine, read the outline. Just go to the outline directly, don't go to any social media. Just find things that actually have some value and just don't fucking sit on a feed, waiting for noise to come at you because it really is, we really are wasting so much of our precious time on this planet.

Just because something about Alex Jones tickles your brain doesn't mean it's important. I mean, this flat earth earth article in the New Yorker, what are people doing? We're having a flat earth conversation now. I don't know why Barry Weiss continues to be in Hawaii. Barry Weiss, I'll tell you why Barry Weiss continues to be in the slides.

Because of clicks. Because Barry Weiss, because the New York Times won't say it But it is true The New York Times fucking loves when you hate click on Barry White's breast even no they love the traffic That you're you liberal mother fuckers send them when you tweet the article out when Jessica Valenti is like how dare Barry White's that's why I don't do the New York New York Times is like, fuck, yes, bring us. Don't quote Jessica. You've got a great following.

You've got a big, you know, big crew. Please bring all the hate to us. Don't quote tweet these things. Subtweet them at best. But I will say Michelle Wolfe did a really great sketch with Michael Hartney, who's a gay comedian at UCB in New York, who's amazing and very funny. Maybe the funniest person I've seen in real life.

And he did a beautiful musical number as op ed, like a guy named Ed. Who's decision. I saw something about that. It was so good. He made the choices. It was a controversial statement about Michelle Wolfe. I watched her show.

I don't think it was that good. I think I just didn't enjoy it. There are the first episode was tough. It might have been the first episode of fun. I think the second episode, the second episode, it picks up, they definitely find their footing. I also think there are not a ton of women in late night and she, herself, is very talented.

It's great, she's a talented, I just continue to watch because if it takes six episodes for that staff to get it there, I want it together. Here's sort of my, she just leaves it. Mayor's Mike in plain general, it's not about her exactly. She's like, we'll tie her to comedians, no offense. We'll tie her to she just, her, mirrors my complaint, Jen, well, it's not about her exactly. She's like, a little tired of comedians, no offense, a little tired of comedians, you know?

Like, can there be something between a comedian and a, in Rachel Maddow? Like, that's what I want. I want like a, like a person with a personality who's interested in funny, but he's not a, a dramedy of the news. But he isn't doing jokes, but he's also not like screaming about like the headlines.

Yeah, or like going to like Chris Hayes like having a fucking vein pop in his neck every time like the Mueller's name comes up. I want to be in between that, which is like you can have a conversation, but you're also funny, but you're not doing jokes. Okay. I just feel like we could use a little less extremism.

Uh-huh. A little more conversation. A little less conversation, a little more action. A little less conversation, a little more touch my body. A little Ariana Grande one. A little less action, a little more conversation, that's what I'm looking for. It's Ariana Grande. It's currently saying to Pete Davidson. What is going on with Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande? We need to wrap up. We're never going to reach this topic.

I think we should just talk. I'm happy for them. We're never going to solve it. They're too. Yeah. I love is a mess. They're too very skinny people. If they sign a prenup, I say, have the thrill ride of your lives. No way. That's true. It's not a prenup. If they don't, I think Frankie Grande will get in there with some paperwork. But if they don't, Frankie Grande, Ariana Grande's father. No, that's her brother who wears glitter everywhere. And it's like a fabulous gay person who's also the most annoying person on the face of the earth. Is Ariana Grande considered a ally of the gay community?

Extremely. Okay. Do we buy it? No, oh yes, she is. She is highly committed to the gay community in a way that like if you thought Lady Gaga was a little performative, she's not. Who is the next Lady Gaga? Um, I can't have one. Our current biggest pop star is Ariana Grande.

Who is, what's the lineage? Like, Bet Midler to, Bet no, no, no, no, Barbara. Nope, it goes like this. Okay. You've got, you've got, Mimi Vandoren. Okay.

Goes down to Jane Mansfield. Okay. Then you're hitting on Barbara Streisand, yeah, share. Yep, that midler. You're going into tougher territory in the 90s. We didn't have no, we were doing it. Madonna. Yes, but Madonna is closer to a pop star than she is to a weirdo.

Shear is closer to a weirdo than she is to a pop star. Sure. Madonna was around. There was a couple girls around. Lady Gaga came and she was like, I am a wacko with a weird nose and a crazy voice and I will tell you I'm Italian a thousand times. And it is a gift. And now she's like, I am a wacko with a weird nose and a crazy voice, and I will tell you I'm Italian a thousand times, and it is a gift.

And now she's like, I fixed all that, and I'm in a Bradley Cooper movie. Yeah, she gets a little rough around me. She gets some work done. Yeah, but she's extremely symmetrical. People are like, she's on recognized, well, I'm like, nah, I can recognize her, but I think she has a nice job.

I think she's beautiful, but in her. She's a very attractive woman, no matter what. Happened with her nose. I think Ariana Grande is her current biggest pop star, but we don't really have like a really to root for right now. Maybe like we're all rallying around Carly Rae Jepsen, but it has less to do with Carly Rae Jepsen. I think Carly Rae is the music. I don't know if she's going to be able to pull it out, pull it off, pull it off, whatever

you say. She always make great music, but I don't know if she's a star. She's like, Nico Case. Oh, it's a good point. Who we did a, uh, oh, it was Bjork in the 90 point. Who we did a... Oh, it was Bjork in the 90s. Fuck me. Really? Yeah, it was Bjork.

Yeah, it was Bjork. I don't know. I love Bjork too, but was she really... Was the gay community into Bjork? I don't know. I don't know. She always used so like foreign. Yeah, but that's part of it.

I feel like she's more foreign than anything. That's what I think of. When I think of Bjork, I'm just like, you're just so not from America. Yes. You know? But she, you know, like Dan's are in the dark. It was a real moment.

Horrible film. Oh, I disagree. Really? I hate Lars on Trier. I hate Lars on Trier, but I do like that that. I get it. I have extremely confrontational movies. And she was good at it.

I don't even remember. I erased it for my memory because it was so. Which I saw it recently. I watched a lot of rap. Oh, don't wait a second. What's the sex movie with Charlotte Gainesburg? Is it Lars von Trier? I watched both of them.

Yeah, what did they call it? It's called like, it's called like, in Fomania. Yeah, in Fomania. In part two. I watched both of those because they run that. That was my, okay. It was like what?

It wasn't good. I was like what? I was like, okay, it was like, what? There wasn't good. I was like, what? I was like, well, I'm not sure. I'm not sure yours isn't good. It's, the answer to the record is good, despite Lars Buncher. And God, his new movie's supposed to be terrible. Okay, we gotta wrap up.

We gotta wrap up. We're not, by the way, we're not, this is it, we're just doing news. We're just doing news. We're just doing news. Okay, it's been a tough week. It's been a hard week, you know, Korea, these video games aren't out until 2019.

I don't have a blackberry yet. I ruined my screen protector on my phone. Did you? We're all freaking out. I don't have a blackberry yet. I ruined my screen protector on my phone. Did you? We're all freaking out. Well, I don't think we're all freaking out. We are. I don't know, 80 degrees outside. Okay, well, that is our show for this week. All right, well, that's it then.

Fine, well, thank you to the listener for listening. Bye. And as always, I wish you and your family the very best, though I've just been told that your family is marrying Pete Davidson without a prenup. And I get news for you, that's going to be real, real messy. you
