Hey and welcome to Tomorrow. I'm your host Josh Wutipolsky. Today on the podcast we discuss
Pikachu, Leopatra, and go fun me. I don't want to waste one minute. Let's get right into
it.
Well, we did it. We made it another week. Somehow through life.
Snowing.
Through Trump's America.
Snowing quite a bit.
Well, okay, it's the first real snow of the season.
Which is fun.
It's very beautiful, very pretty.
It's horrible to be in.
Yeah.
It's nice to look at horrible to be in.
You know, a, it's not a good scene if you're driving.
No, I took the train in today,
but I do have to drive from the train station home,
but that's not that far.
It could be ice on the road, at least.
Turn our driving through the city and the snow.
Yes, and yet people on my block,
well, first of this snow is not going to stick.
It's three to five inches and it's going to melt,
but everyone on my block is acting as if like we're in the end
times. There's salt everywhere. There was deliveries to block is acting as if we're in the end times.
There's salt everywhere.
There was deliveries to them.
Maybe there are other reasons
they're acting.
So they won't be able to.
So like I just read about Matt Whittaker.
You're like, don't be so worried about the snow.
They're like, I'm not.
They're like, I'm worried about this time travel huxster.
Yeah.
The, wait, you're gonna have to fill me in on some of that
this afternoon.
But the snow, by the way, now when people listen to this, they're gonna hear this tomorrow. And they're gonna have to fill me in on some of that. But the snow, by the way, when people listen to this,
they're gonna hear this tomorrow.
And they're gonna hear this episode of tomorrow.
And they're gonna be like, what is this irrelevant?
I live in Florida, or they're gonna be like,
the snow is over.
I'm gonna say you need to grow up.
I mean, Florida is the best passage,
which I got their own storm down there,
a little fraud storm according to Rick Scott.
Rick Scott is definitely sounds like a name,
the most generic name.
I love the theory of ballots there where they're like,
they saw the election results and now they're faking ballots.
First off, if you were gonna fake ballots,
you would have done it in security.
Yeah, you know what I would have done,
it's been like, let's flood the zone with fake ballots.
As if the election workers were like,
oh shit, we're seeing the results.
Do you have any printer paper?
Yeah.
Let's fill out some paper.
Oh, it's not going well for Nelson.
Let's stuff these ballot boxes.
You can't even do that.
I love to them joking too with that.
I feel like they're still, I mean, are they still counting Gore ballots?
I wish they were.
Yeah.
I mean, I wish we'd gotten it.
It's a whole state.
It's what's happening.
A Florida is bad, okay.
It's Florida is Florida, right?
Florida's got great stuff in it.
Does it though, I was in Florida recently.
And let me tell you, it didn't seem that great to me.
No offense to Florida, but I don't know.
I don't know why anybody would live there.
I gotta tell you, I guess.
I gotta tell you, it's not my cup of tea,
but you know, I actually went out to Florida,
my uncle, Boris, and his wife, Noreen,
were telling me about how they voted for Trump,
and I was, you know, like, yes.
You said, where is the closest gator?
I mean, I was trying to, like,
they were talking about how smart he is,
and how people don't realize how smart.
I mean, they're very old, very old,
so I mean, they're very old, very old. So I mean, they're very confused, but I was, you know, visibly shaken and upset.
Well, let's get to the Trump news in a bit, but we do have a breaking new story.
We have to discuss.
Yes.
Sharp is introducing a new phone with two notches.
One at the top, one at the bottom.
First of, there's a mode on the pixel three where you can add a bottom notch.
I went to on this. You just, you one at the bottom. So first off, there's a mode on the Pixel 3 where you can add a bottom notch. I went to on this.
You can just, you can just,
you can just, you can just,
you can just, I'm gonna tell you something.
Now I've been using the Pixel 3 XL for several weeks.
I have an iPhone XS Max, iPhone XS Max,
worst name phone ever.
This is why their stock is tanking, by the way.
Learn how to name a phone.
Are you Motorola?
You're in your phone.
It's so bad. It's so bad.
It's so bad.
And I have one of those.
And then I have the Galaxy Note 9.
The Note 9 is by far the most enjoyable phone
to look at, in my opinion.
Oh, yeah, you handed that to me.
And I was like, this is beautiful.
It's beautiful.
And it has no notches, and it doesn't need notches.
Yeah.
And it works wonderfully.
It's terrific. The notch thing it works wonderfully. It's terrific.
The notch thing is so nonsense. It's such nonsense.
I got the new OnePlus 6T,
which has in screen fingerprint scanner,
which is fucking cool.
That is cool.
It's not as accurate as the iPhone one or the Pixel.
I have to say, on my old iPad Pro from last year,
you barely touched that thing and it pops open.
Yeah, but it's plenty accurate.
Yeah. And it's a it's way better than Face ID.
Wow. Everybody hates Face ID.
Can we just talk about this?
I walked into your office yesterday trying to look at
notifications of my phone quickly before we start talking
just on the lockscreen.
And of course, it auto-unlocks and I can't even read.
What's the point of the lockscreen?
You can turn that off if I can.
There's a function.
You can use it.
You know what I shouldn't have to do?
But it's still my functions.
It's a free text message.
It's still my locks.
But I still think that, I mean,
Laura just got an access max yet upgraded from an eight
or seven plus.
And that's a nice step up.
Well, but she hates it.
Oh yeah.
She's like, oh, I used to be able to do my Apple Pay
like one-handed.
Yeah. And now I have to watch for that. I do a double tap. I's like, oh, I used to be able to do my apple pay like one handed. And now I have to watch for that.
I do a double tap.
I feel like, oh, you okay.
That's so much more.
You feel cool.
Yeah, another $400.
No, it's so.
It's really bad.
It's really dumb.
And like the thing that really that Erksmean has
Erksmean, which is why I wrote that Apple is bad
to design piece when they announced the phone,
is it is a totally invented necessity. They're like, we must do this. There's no other way.
And it's like, no, there's definitely another way. It's just that you wanted to have something that
looked like so unique that you decided to put a notch in the phone. I honestly believe this is a
Johnny Ive like this will be distinct. It will make the phone look distinct. Did you see he designed a ring made entirely of diamond?
Yeah, I mean, yeah, he had to, it was a pretty cool idea.
All I could think was like, I'm definitely gonna get fatter.
It's like, at all.
At some point, I'm gonna be able to wear that ring.
So it's like a, it's a diamond ring made out of a diamond.
Yes, but it's not a diamond.
How much is it?
I have no idea.
Are they producing the model but out of like synthetic diamonds?
I have 10,000. How could they produce that out of a regular diamond? Well, that of a diamond. How much is it? I have no idea. Are they producing the problem? Out of like synthetic diamonds? I've 10,000.
How could they produce that out of a regular diamond?
Well, that's my question.
It has to be something.
But there's no difference between synthetic and a real diamond.
Yeah, one real.
What a problem.
One was mined in very bad slave lives.
By children.
By children slaves.
And the other is a synthetic diamond.
Yeah.
So.
They sell a, side note, they sell like a $30,000 main of diamonds, uh, uh, castle,
like Cinderella's castle.
It's about the size of like your torso.
Synthetic diamond.
In Disney World.
And I thought like, oh, that's to show off.
Like, though, they're just, they're all colored diamonds.
It's just for them to spin in a store display.
So you'll buy, like hats.
No, someone on like the Disney World Reddit wrote, they asked a cast member and they said,
oh, we actually sell these fairly frequently
because so many like billionaires got Russians.
Like, like, millionaire Russians come
and they're like, you gotta have it, yeah, exactly.
Chip it to my home.
But it's synthetic diamonds.
Yeah.
Is it like cubic circonia or is it,
or is it a conium?
I'm not sure.
I didn't look, but it's $40,000.
You gotta assume they're getting synthetic diamonds.
It's $40,000, you, well,
it's definitely not real.
It's 30 or 40.
Yeah. I mean, that, you couldn't make that out of diamonds.
Well, it's just the outside.
How big is it?
It's like two and a half feet, me three feet.
That would be a million of dollars.
Millions.
Well, Disney, put that on the market
if you're selling so many of these.
I mean, just look at what a quarter-carat,
half-carat ring sells for a-
Oh, I have Tiffany.
Oh, I'm Oh, I have. Tiffany.
Oh, I'm engaged. I have.
We got, like, well-sourced, like, ethically-sourced metal from, like, some Swiss company, and they
came in a little box, and it comes with, like, a lifetime, whatever. John found it on Instagram.
And I was like, you know what? This is the way to do it. Also, Jews don't wear diamonds.
They're...
I mean, they do.
There's that, not in the ring.
Not supposed to wear a diamond ring.
I really don't tell my mother about that.
Or my wife, actually, who's not.
I'm not Jewish, so we don't have to worry about that.
Yeah.
So, do-o-notch phone.
You buy in the do-o-notch store.
Let me see.
Can I see a picture of it?
You have a photo of it?
I haven't seen it yet.
The answer is obviously no.
The phone I want to buy is there's a flip phone,
a high end, I think it's Samsung.
Oh, now you wanna foldable phone,
which we forgot to talk about.
We have to talk about it.
Oh, right, I was gonna talk about last week.
It is, I will do one type of the foldable phone.
Let's get to that in a second.
Here's your dual notch.
I mean, literally, I'm sorry, but,
hold on, can I just show you?
Why would anyone want that?
Although the notch on the bottom is a better idea
because it's just a home screen button then.
No, let me show you something.
Then the notch on the top.
How about your fucking mind right now?
Welcome to notch cast where we discuss weekly
in the notes of notch culture.
There it is.
Oh wow, oh wow.
Huh?
Pretty cool, right?
That's a mode.
That's a mode on the phone.
Yeah.
Now you've got that symmetry you want.
It's in developer options.
I don't know what the reason is.
It's also a different shape.
I don't know.
Is it a button?
Does it act as a button?
Doesn't do anything.
Okay.
Just sits there.
That's just to taunt you.
It's just to waste more space.
So foldable phones.
Bad idea.
How would you put it in a case?
If you dropped it, what is it going to break?
Let's talk about the foldable phone.
How many iPad minis do you see that you want one
made out of your phone?
Let's get into it.
Here's the thing, hold on.
I gotta go back to the device default notch.
You gotta turn this notch off.
I haven't even looked at it.
I have a thing that turns the notch off.
Do I see what that looks like?
Yeah.
Here's what it looks like.
This is so good.
The Android is just another world.
It just looks like that. Oh wow. God, is just another world. It looks like that.
Oh wow.
God, I want that phone.
Just go buy it.
I'm on the money.
Go get it.
Have Google send you one.
I'm on the money.
I got Christmas presents.
Hanukkah gifts.
Present, they're amazing.
You know, Hanukkah's December 2nd this year, very early.
Oh yeah.
My mom's is December 1st, and then I have Christmas gifts
after that.
So we're fully prepared.
Find it.
This is going to be some way to get them a group gift.
Hanukkah, Tuberth Day.
Christmas, Kaburth Day.
So no, no, he's buying the phone with the notch and buy.
But it was my sharp phones.
It was my sharp phone.
Nobody in America.
No, that's to unload.
In Japan, maybe.
Foldable phones.
So last week, Samsung announced this thing.
It's like the, can't believe we forgot to talk about talk about the galaxy f or whatever, which is really bad.
Galaxy, Galaxy F. It's like, look, look, the foldable tablet phone things in West
World is they're really cool. And and Sean Hollister did a thing for the
Verge that I thought was really fun, which was like, oh, maybe all this sci-fi
stuff will I kind of show us the way with foldable devices. But the reality is the tech isn't simply not there to make it really killer.
And also, you've got to really ask why would I want my phone to unfold into...
People don't really like tablets that much.
It's not a large tablet, either. It's about the size of an iPad mini.
It makes your entire phone larger.
And how do you put a case on it?
The iPad mini is basically a dead product.
I mean, they don't even talk about it.
No, the last one they introduced is like 2013.
Yeah, and John had one and he was like,
it's the same size as my large phone.
Yeah, and he never used it.
And Zelda has one because she's,
For kids, it's tiny.
Yeah, she's tiny per-
But if you were to buy one today,
the kid sized fire that has all the parental controls
and it's like child proof,
like you can sling them and break it for 50 bucks.
Why would you go with anything else?
Well, there are reasons
for app store purchases and like whatever.
But with movies anywhere, who cares?
Better app selection, whatever.
At any rate, the point is,
the foldable phone is a dumb idea.
It's a gimmick, nobody cares and we want it.
There's this literally zero use case for it.
I'm still trying to figure out what the use case is.
It's if you're stuck on the A train
and you wanna play a larger game of solidarity.
No, but he wants that.
Nobody's doing that.
People love their phones.
And I like, you know what I love?
I can do everything with one hand.
I have an idea, a cool idea for these phone makers.
Why don't you make a phone?
Mm-hmm, really provocative idea. Oh no. Make a phone idea for these phone makers. Why don't you make a phone, really provocative idea.
Oh no.
Make a phone with really good battery life.
A battery that lasts so long.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes, make a phone with a double the battery size
and be like, you can run just three days,
you can go without a charge.
I'm gonna blow your fucking mind, right?
Do it.
A phone, uh huh, looking at me, right in the eye?
Less than a thousand dollars.
Boom.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
I'll take it. A phone that costs 500 bucks in the battery lasts all week. I would take a slower phone
I'll take a thousand dollar phone that has a battery that where I never like you never try every phone I own
I'm like well, I can't use the GPS without making sure this is plugged in
It's like make a phone where I don't have to stress out about that
I don't have a spare battery in my backpack. I have enough stress in my life.
By the way, I've been asking for this for five years at least.
And battery life's only gotten worse from what I had.
Because everything's getting thinner.
And also, guess what's the success with thinness?
You know, it's a big trick.
We all got played on us.
What?
First off, I mean, obviously, headphone jack stuff.
But also, wireless charging.
Guess what I hate?
Wireless charging.
So first off, wireless charging.
Wireless charging is a scam. Bad, so first off, wireless charging.
Wireless charging is a scam.
Bad for the environment.
It's dumb.
Until everything is made out of wireless charging materials
and it doesn't matter.
I want my sofa to be wireless,
a cheat charging pad,
a whole coffee table,
a whole coffee table.
Yeah, and then now you're talking.
Make my fucking mattress.
I want it to be completely irradiated.
I want my testicles to be totally irradiated.
All times while I'm sitting on my sofa with
Chi-charging energy.
I want Nikola Tesla himself to invade my thoughts.
Yes, I wanted to rise out of the carpet,
which is a Chi-powered carpet where I could put a phone
anywhere you want on it.
Wireless charging is stupid, really dumb,
totally useless for the most part.
It's like a taste for ever.
It's a minor tiny little baby convenience that is seriously for cars. It's a really dumb, totally useless for the most part. It's like a taste forever. It's a minor tiny little baby convenience
that is seriously for cars.
If you are, no, but I mean, if you are,
okay, the car thing is sort of,
but like not really.
Just so you can throw your phone down,
you know, you shouldn't even,
using your phone on the car first off, though.
I like this, there's a company that makes a thing
that's like a super magnetic plug
that's like a universal plug.
You put the thing in the phone
and it creates like, it creates like an adapter down there,
like a little bump.
And then the magnet just shoots right onto it.
Yeah, I saw one that is like, yeah, it's like,
you put it in your lights above your room.
So it gets installed, you don't have to have the light on.
It's like sort of a hue bulb, but it also has lights.
This is like a charging cable. Yeah, no, no, you put a case on it,
and it's wireless charging, but for the room.
No, I don't want the last cell over there.
This is in better solution, which is like,
instead of having to like,
it's just a lot unplugged.
It kind of just like magnetizes, then.
It's MagSafe.
Basically, MagSafe.
Why don't we have MagSafe for our phones?
Why don't we have MagSafe for our laptop?
Why do they keep making phones out of glass?
I mean, there's nothing more galling to me
than the idea that every phone maker
makes a phone out of glass.
The most breakable substance in the world
for a device that is constantly
in slippery, shaky, moving hands.
Like, it is one out of bamboo.
It is one of the great scams,
honestly, it's one of the great scams
of our modern world,
that these
phone makers have done nothing to make more durable devices.
Or that they camera bumps so they can sell you a case that they sit on a table.
That they, that they have not been able to produce, I mean, this is not, they're not able,
they just have chosen not to.
Like why aren't, make it out of the case material.
Yeah.
And make the phone out of rubber.
And let me pop it in and out of the backing house
and let me buy that for $10.
Make the phone out of, how about this?
Make the phone out of wood.
That's what I want, bamboo.
It's cheap to produce.
It's pretty, it lasts.
It lasts.
It could be so cool to have an iPhone made of like polished walnut.
Oh my God.
And so durable.
You know, it's pissing me off the last pixel
was had a metal back, which I dropped it a few times and it like had scratches
But it was fine now. It's all glass and they painted it to look like it wasn't any of the point is
These phones are stupid double not to see the Apple stock, okay?
There's a reason why they're in trouble right now. I mean, I say in trouble there
They'll be fine forever
They'll be fine for a long time
But there's a reason why suddenly the mood is turned and the reason is
partially
They introduced a laptop. They should have introduced five years ago. Well, they're two expensive
You can see how you can see how lost they are
I think the announcement that they're no longer gonna talk about phone sales numbers
Yeah, their earnings calls is a is a what we know. there's a now going to be a decline or at least
a certainly a flattening. People are keeping phones for longer, they are doing fewer new
things so they have less of a reason to buy. So there is a, the unit sales are in a slump.
And also they announced an iPad that you spent $1,600 on for the complete iPad, you mean, including case, pencil, keyboard,
and a iPad that has cellular and end-or-ridever.
They call it a computer, but you can't click an address
and go to Google Maps.
You can't, I can't download a YouTube video from Safari
and store it in local storage.
I have to do a hack to get it into Dropbox.
You can't, like, it's not a real OS.
It isn't a computer.
So, they're announced this thing that's for nobody,
except artists.
In the time of the iPad, for creators, okay.
It's for people who have to edit video,
but only a little bit.
What's a computer?
It's for people who, it's people who really need Photoshop,
and not so much Photoshop that you need a computer for.
For people that haven't heard of notebooks.
I don't understand.
Like, it's like, this is real Photoshop.
It's like, cool, but like, what's really good with Photoshop is being able to like
Is a GPU or like a cursor? Yeah, it's actually really useful for detail editing
You know, it's not that good is to have to like put your hand right on something to edit it. Yeah, it's actually
So it's better. It's nice, but I don't know who the use case outside of a few people like me. Yeah, I don't know
I mean listen, I uh, I found my iPad pro was missing
I'm booted that fucker up. And yeah, there's no interest in using it. I did find some garage band
songs that I'd made, you know, while trying to figure out what I would do with it. But
it's like, yeah, I'm not a, I mean, I create things, but they're at a different level.
It's good for reading RSS feeds. I really like it's better. Is it better than your phone
for reading RSS feeds? I actually really like it for RSS feeds. I really like it. It's better. Is it better than your phone for reading RSS feeds?
Is it better than your laptop?
I actually really like it for RSS feeds.
I use, and I've used and I've had for years
every morning to watch a couple YouTube videos
of late night segments.
I like watching.
What RSS app are you using?
Reader.
R-E-E-D-E-R.
A user reader by Silvio, whatever his name is.
I've used it for years. Yeah, with the E-E. You're like, yeah, you're like an old nerd.
No, I love that.
Yeah, you're like an nerd from the old days.
I would bring that Google reader.
You're like an end gadget guy.
Yeah, you're like a guy, you like PMP,
you want to check out some PMPs.
Yes.
Some personal media players.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Okay, fine.
I like, I respect that.
I respect to that.
I know how it works.
You're not, you're not a normal person. Yeah, I know most people get their news from tweets, which I can't have them
Most people don't get their news at all man, okay, you know, that's the reality
I get my news from tell me almost became like John Lennon. I mean most people don't get the news at all man
That's what's going on
Imagine if all the people you know realize it. I don't know what's happening. Oh, yes, seriously. All right, stop
Other tech news. I want to get to fun stuff before we get to I love it. I love fun stuff
Google five their phone service that works with team mobile and sprint to the phone
Yeah, five. Yeah, Fifi. I've been thinking about switching it looks good
They just introduced full VPN for the whole phone, which means you're sell I'm sorry, I've said it again, I'll set it before I'll say it again. Okay. I just, I just, I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I want them to, I want them to, I want them to tell me I've got cancer ahead of time. I want them to be like, we've noticed your browsing habits suggest you have a bad case
of cancer.
Please go to the doctor.
I want, I know, I'm fine.
I'm good with that.
So far, they have not really violated my trust in any way that I can see.
I mean, Mark Zuckerberg got so mad about Tim Cook's comments, about privacy that he made
all the Facebook executives switched to Android phones.
Okay. Mark Zuckerberg, first off, that's a bold move.
Mark Zuckerberg, I mean, I don't know if I want you texting.
I don't know if you read this New York Times without me being able to read it.
Mark Zuckerberg and Cheryl Sandberg are fucking crazy.
It was just gonna pivot.
I mean, they are, they should be, they should be removed.
Cheryl Sandberg was pushing a George Soros conspiracy theory to cover up
these books, bullshit and terrible policies influencing elections.
I mean, Cheryl, yeah, I mean, these guys were engaged and serious, like, I mean, they
really were engaged in like basically a cover-up of their own mistakes and their own inadequacies
and inefficiencies.
I honestly can't believe that this isn't a big news story.
Like, Facebook could destroy the world.
There's too much.
It makes you wonder what, one thing it made me think is,
and I don't know if everybody knows this story,
but essentially it's like Facebook
in the kind of days following the whole fake news thing
and the election stuff,
they basically started funding opposition research
on their biggest critics.
And created like, I mean, almost like created like conspiracy,
you know, they sort of like helped to propagate conspiracy theories about how
Soros, George Soros was trying to attack Facebook.
Which is like, baseless nonsense.
And, and, you know, it's like, I mean, weirdly, they like kind of read their,
they were like the shit posters that they, that you kind of, they were, they became the shit posters.
The thing that it made me think is like, wow,
it was like, oh yeah, like these people definitely are shitty.
And what if good people with good ideas
ran something like Facebook?
And they had to higher ethicists legally.
Like, what if Mark Zuckerberg was not the CEO of Facebook?
What if what if Cheryl Sandberg wasn't the CEO of Facebook?
What if there were other people with new
and different and better ideas?
What if we nationalized Facebook and Amazon?
I love it.
Well, we have a piece on that.
I know.
I tweeted that Nationalized Amazon got a lot of weird responses.
Then you wrote this piece that did all my research for me,
and I was able to be like, yes, it is a good idea.
Well, I made an argument.
I made an argument when I was, it was by Sarah Jaffe.
When I was, that's right.
You did not write to you.
I did not write to you, either.
It's a very interesting and insightful piece.
I made an argument when I wrote,
when I was doing my column for the Washington Post,
that we should nationalize or have a much more nationalized
attitude on the wireless carriers.
Oh, yeah.
Speaking of, they're selling off their 5G.
They're doing an auction for the 5G spectrum.
I'm actually bidding on it.
Yeah, right in time for the holiday shopping season.
Yeah.
Do you have a loved one?
I would be like, I would be like Josh Net, the new 5g network only not to updates. You can
only use it to get really fast.
Not just.
There's only one phone number. It's a party line. Here's how it works. Everybody calls in
and you wait your turn. You can hear cyberpunk. You're cyberpunk by Billy Idle the background
at all times. That's an official license license license from Billy Idol and his son Warner music.
Doing this on the up and on.
Anyhow, I mean, we really should have,
I mean, at least regular.
We really should have a heavily regulated,
we should have a national plan for broadband and wireless
that is for every American that is about getting these
carriers to build for, you know, get them centered around standards.
Yeah, people are like,
what we did with phones.
We should do what we did with people
like, TV, free market,
and it'll stifle competition,
it'll stifle innovation.
It's like, no, well,
I mean, there's, you could still be innovative
in that environment.
You need to have, there needs to be like a ringleader.
There needs to be like, here's what we're gonna do.
Everybody got a phone line in their home.
They still made a shit ton of money.
You could call everybody.
It was illegal to tap people's phones without a warrant.
We had a regulated system.
It worked great.
This has been done successfully in other countries.
There's a reason why Korean, you know, broadband,
or municipal broadband that's always better
than every other option.
I mean, there's a reason why our speeds are laughable by comparison to other
countries. Back in the dial-up age, you could do it through your local library.
You could use that as your internet service and it worked great.
You can still do that. Yeah, but you dial in.
Oh, right. Oh, you know, I mean, you can go to the library and use it.
Uh oh. Yeah. So I do all my research.
I actually love the library. So I do all my opposition.
Talk for hours about the power of the library
Well, I knew those visit libraries more than any other generation has ever visited the library Yeah, but all they're do that's there's a group. They're just looking for it
They're just looking for a quiet place to eat their avocado toast. Okay, everybody knows and not there to play
They're there to have apple views the they're there to eat your avocado toast and not have sex
According to all the things I've read
Did you see that's there's a story in the Atlantic about how young people are not having less auto toast and not have sex according to all the things I've read.
Did you see that there's a story in the Atlantic about how young people are having less sex?
Yeah, and not me.
Yeah, I'm like, that's a bummer,
because sex is great.
I'm at the early, you should do sex as much as possible
with as many people as possible,
while obviously being safe.
Yeah.
But I was like, what a bummer for young people because they're really missing out on fucking.
Yeah.
Also ends up though, we've got an antibiotic strain
of gonorrhea that spikes in the fall.
So just wait till spring, take your prep, go at it.
Wrap it up every time, girl.
I say everybody else.
Just wrap it up.
OK.
There's a sex party in Brooklyn that someone told me
about called inferno. That's all about body acceptance and like all genders and stuff
like that. And I'm not into like a sex party scene personally, but I would like
to go like see and like maybe write a story about. I'm what that is. You're pitching
me right now. I pitch accepted. I'm interested in that story. If any tomorrow
listeners want to go to a sex party with me, we get our full slide shot. It please email Ryan. What is your email address?
I'm not giving it out, but you can tweet me. My DMs are open.
Tweet at Magnus at tomorrow podcast. No, email Magnus at tomorrowpodcast.com,
which stills an active email address. Oh, yeah. I get things forwarded to me about
audio. I don't know why it's still just going to magnet.
No idea.
Anyhow.
It's a good way to keep up with magnets though.
Yeah, it is actually.
If you want to go to a sex party with Ryan, email a magnet that's trying to be a podcast.
I won't be participating unless you're really hot.
Right.
But there could be other hot people there.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Sex party sounds like not a...
I feel like that's very tiring.
I feel like I wouldn't enjoy a sex party.
You know what?
Actually, that's great. Red Dead Redemption 2 and then some tiring feeling. I feel like I wouldn't enjoy a sex party. You know what? Actually, that's great.
Red Dead Redemption 2 and then some light porn.
I gotta, it sounds like a great night.
I got a bath in Red Dead Redemption 2.
That was pretty fun.
Oh yeah?
Nothing happened.
His Grimshaw made me do take a bath.
You think something's gonna happen?
No, I went to a hotel.
Oh, I didn't do that.
You haven't done that?
I went to Valentine.
I went, the first thing I did was I got into a hotel,
got a room, took a-
I've upgraded my whole camp. Took a bath. Oh, see, I can't deal with the camp shit. I upgraded the whole camp. I have to Valentine. I went at the first thing I did was I got into a hotel got a room. I've upgraded my whole camp took a bath
Oh, see I can't deal with the camp shit. I upgraded the whole camp
I'm okay shores and then they still fucking complain. I looked at the ledger. I have put in like five thousand dollars
Here's the problem nobody's donating anything. This is red dead redemption. I don't want to play the Sims
Yeah, I just want to I want to have some
Realism, but I do not want to have to like provide food for my camp
No, I also don't care about why if you don't get them. Oh my god. Oh, you're under weight. You're under weight
I get it. I get it. I'm not gonna take the time to eat I
I'm a soyland guy in real life. I'm not going and eating weird stews
Virtually, I mean I ate some stuff after I killed the pig farmer. Although I will say that.
Yes. That was fucking gross.
I'm so fucked up.
Grusas.
There are some pockets of horror in that game, but I also will say as a horse simulator,
love in my horse, named him scratch.
Bottom for a pretty penny.
I did something.
Can you tell me if this is right or wrong?
I accidentally punched him.
I punched the horse.
What? I was riding. I heard some shooting and I went over to where the shooting was. There was a guy who was like under a bridge
and he was like, I came all the way from Mexico to find the best gunslinger. Oh, yeah, I killed him. I killed him immediately. Me too.
I was like, I was just like, what's stupid? You just announced that I'm gonna kill you or you're here alone. Yeah.
I don't know why I did that. It just made sense. Yeah.
He meant he wanted to have a duel, right?
He wanted to, like, I got the,
I got the drop on him.
Yeah.
And then the guy wanted to like,
to practice shooting bottles,
which I did.
Then he was like,
you want to shoot some birds?
And I was like,
now I'm going to shoot you in the head.
You're just going to move on.
That's horrible.
I got to have a job really to get to.
I did, I did, I did drag his body out of the bridge.
Just, you know, for just in case,
you never know, right?
Like, it is, I mean, it definitely is, it makes you incredible.
It makes you incredible.
Most interesting thing about it is,
I was a fucking wrong, yeah, you were like,
none, none, I don't like it.
Now I'm a Root and Tooten cowboy.
I wouldn't go that far, but to,
to really Root and Tooten.
Also when John came home, I was talking,
like I had been playing for hours,
and at some point I was like, well I reckon,
and then I got a stop at this game,
I'm saying I reckon.
That's sad.
But no, the game definitely makes you question your morals.
Oh yeah, you know.
I still, I'm still a good guy.
I think I'm like at 80%.
Is there a meter or something?
A good guy.
But I have done some fucked up shit.
And there's also people that I'm just like bored,
so I'll just murder someone.
What's annoying to me is I like bumped into a guy
with my horse the next day,
and I knew I was in a gigantic shootout.
Yeah, you're on to dead or alive.
Yeah, and I gotta pay off some 86 dollar bounty
or some shit.
And it's like, all I did was bump into the guy.
I didn't try to start anything.
Are we so touching the old West?
Did you kill the KKK yet?
No.
I found them, they were like setting up a thing. I
watched them set it on fire and then they set themselves on fire. And then I was like, I've had
about enough of this. I shot every single one of them. I had looted their body. They're all these
letters about like how it's science that white people are superior. Where are they located? They just
they're that's a random encounter. So they'll just they'll pop up. I've seen them twice now. I'm
gonna try to get all these cards. I love the guy, the guy's writing the book.
Oh yeah, he's great.
He's really cute.
He's like, I don't give a shit.
Just find something for me to write.
Yeah, it's a good little setup.
I have to like the wildlife photographer.
What the hell, I haven't seen that yet.
What the hell is the uplifting's out?
Drunk Reverend, the drunk preacher.
He needs to get it together.
Someone needs to have a talk.
Well, this is boring.
I feel like this is very boring.
We're just talking about things that happen.
I'm having a red- red dead red evasion.
All right, what else in the news?
We didn't talk about the politics of America.
We're holding off on that.
I want to do fun stuff.
You don't want to talk about our constitutional crisis.
We'll get to it.
Pikachu is a detective now.
I love it.
Did you see the trailer for Pokemon
in real life detective Pikachu movie?
We wrote a piece about it it about the horrors of,
did you see my amazing tweet?
No, oh my god.
You need to, I need to get some love on this tweet
because I think I'm not getting credit
for what is a truly.
I think it should have been Danny DeVito
and I tweeted a video of someone edited
Danny DeVito's voice in for Detective Pikachu.
Just thinks he says it's always sunny.
It's great.
Oh, I saw you.
Where is it?
Where is my tweet?
Okay, hold on.
Saw the new Toy Story trailer.
Forkies and Icon.
Forkies, the new character.
I guess it's like...
The toy that a kid made.
It's like what's a toy. Yeah.
Should you just please look at the image. Oh, I didn't see that. This is really good.
Yeah. The GRT. I did not. I had to great. I had also my tied tweet was very good. Yeah, I did.
I responded to that. Tide is introducing a long line box filled with Tide. It's a long time
to put this together. Okay. Yeah. It's's probably entirely true. Honestly, definitely a waste of my time and not a good use of-
A star is born, so I guess-
As an editor, a founder, and CEO, definitely not a good use of my time to make a cool meme.
I was actually hard to find the images of just the Bradley Cooper in my-
Yeah, I had to, when I did one of those, I had to go like screenshot the YouTube.
So I was like, I'm not gonna fucking screenshot the YouTube video.
There's gotta be one I can just grab from somewhere. And that's how memes work.
Lo and behold, there was. Lo and behold. I have no feelings about this whatsoever
because I'm not a big Pokemon player. I think he looks reasonably cute, but I do agree
that there's good. I'm not buying Let's Go Pikachu and UV. I'm gonna throw that out
there to the listener. It might mean nothing to you. I'm not buying it. That's a new game.
Not buying it. It's on the switch. It's a remake of the original, but in like completely redone as opposed to a gameplay
game, it's like a full 3D game, but it uses the Pokemon go like catch mechanic instead
of like, you don't grind or fight Pokemon in the wild.
You just like catch a lot of them and get experience and then you battle trainers.
I'm not buying it.
What does grind mean?
Grind is like all the time you spend in the tall grass fighting and slowly leveling off all your Pokemon.
Okay.
There's none of that.
You just sort of like breeze through the story.
I'm not this for kids.
I'm not playing a kids game.
I want my Pokemon to bleed.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I heard the same shit about Red Dead Redemption 2
and now here you are out on the range,
killing deer for your cab.
Yeah, maybe I'll be out on the range with the jiggly puff.
Yeah, I feel like that's a high list.
I'll probably pick it up,
but I'm not paying $90 for that in a Poke Ball Plus
or whatever.
What's a Poke Ball?
It's like a controller you get with it
that's a Poke Ball and you like fake throw it at the speed.
Oh really?
Yeah, that sounds pretty cool.
I'm not doing it.
I like it.
I'm gonna get in some.
I'm probably gonna do it.
Oh, she definitely got to do it.
Definitely going to do it. Stanley, she definitely get to do it. Definitely going to do it.
Stanley. Stanley, a complicated figure, a complex man. A man, some say, was a villain.
A man, some say, was a hero. Much like all of his characters. I don't think anybody actually
says he was a villain exactly. Maybe a curbing. There were some sexual assaults.
Oh, did he do some sexual assaults? There was something like a misor said,
towards later in life, he was seen on Alan, like touched her and
said inappropriate things. And I think like, let's not judge the elderly by
the standards we judge everybody else. He probably was seen now. But
he might have been horny. Nobody was perfect. It could have been actually
horny. Old people are very horny. Yeah. Why not? What else are you going to do?
Sitting around on the day. Nobody's perfect, but he did give us the gift of
heroes for kids for decades. Look, you got to give, I don't care if you think Stanley was the creator or stole a bunch
of valor, stolen valor from his, his, his Stanley amoeo is a love.
Stanley definitely had some kind of talent.
Yeah.
Nobody's around that much success for that long.
Listen, I grew up as a comic book reader.
Creative success. Spider-Man was my first comic book
love. I actually was reading some Spider-Man comics to Zelda recently and I have to tell you in the 80s,
lot of words in the comics, lot of words. A lot of talking. Plots were very strange. Yeah,
we needed Frank Miller to come in. Definitely a lot of sexism a lot of latent vague sexism
Uh
And you know the stories aren't that good, but
But boy are they comic books
Um, did you hear about the go-fund misham?
Yes, I don't know. I have no patience for this. I just all it test to me is we need socialism
I mean, what is it? It's like some people were like, we found this homeless vet
and please raise, help us raise money for him.
And then, he was like, hey, I'm a homeless vet.
Like, I'm out living out on the street.
Please help me out there.
And people were like, wow, this is horrible.
And they gave these people money side unseen
because they had a compelling video or whatever.
And that's the only way we went out.
And then it turns out to deal with sadness and悶r.
And then just throw money at the problem.
And nobody will go away.
Yeah. And then it turns out, we problem. And nobody will go away. Yeah.
And then it turns out.
It's not me.
Taxes, but we'll do go fund me for everybody's cock and bull
story.
Yeah.
And then it turns out that the whole thing was just a scam
between the three of them.
When I was really broke, I did a go fund me.
This was like four or five years ago, because my parents'
dog had cancer.
And they didn't have the money at the time to get them treatment.
And they were like, it's a dog.
And I was like, let me see if people would like put together
a thousand dollars at least.
And they did, but I was inundated with messages
of suspicious people saying I like made it up
and it wasn't real and blah,
I'm like, I'm very fun on Twitter.
What am I gonna like get caught doing this
and ruin my career?
Yeah, maybe.
But the fact that that's how we deal with like sadness
or that's your last desperate attempt
and times of strife is just,
when you know what they say, my talks bullshit walks right. And maybe I should have just done a
go fund me scam. Maybe go find me should just be your main source of income. You're sorry about that.
I'm a Patreon kid now. Yeah, be why does she be a Patreon person? Good, no thanks.
It's working out for the Chappos. I'm no Chappos. I'm no Chappos.
They're like Bernie 2020.
Please give us a Patreon payment.
In harder news, Amazon has decided
that they're definitely coming to New York
because they're getting a bunch of corporate welfare
from Cuomo.
I love it.
Personally, everybody's against it, but I'm for it.
No.
Bring it on.
This is gonna be bad.
By the way, Greenpoint, that's toast.
Done. That's it for Greenpoint.
Greenpoint's now the suburb to the Amazon factory
located, or whatever the fuck is,
the Amazon headquarters location.
And it is going to be, I really wish I'd held on
to my house in Greenpoint, because now,
I could sort of, I could have sold it.
I could have sold it for so much money.
Yeah, you know. They're building a helipad because Jeff Bezos doesn't take.
You got to air drop Bezos and now look, everybody hates Bezos suddenly.
I don't hate Bezos.
I like Bezos.
I think he's just an interesting guy.
Smart guy.
No.
He is a very interesting smart guy.
Sure, but fuck him.
And he's a very shrewd businessman.
Yeah, sure.
And let's be honest, if anybody who hates Bezos
could have done what Bezos did, they would have probably.
Well, of course, but maybe like he is.
Yeah, maybe he could use his money for some more good.
Or pay taxes.
I mean, paying taxes would be a stupid, nobody pays taxes.
Don't put it just on Bezos.
Apple doesn't pay taxes either.
Sure.
Microsoft doesn't pay taxes.
But I wish some of these people would stand up and say,
some rich people do stand up and say, I have the money and I'm willing to pay taxes either. Sure. Microsoft doesn't pay taxes. But I wish some of these people would stand up and say, some rich people do stand up and say,
I have the money and I am willing to pay taxes
to make the world better.
Who's doing that?
They're multiple, and they don't mean to be like,
I'm not citing sources, but multiple celebrities have said,
I have the money, I don't need it.
And the granddaughter of Walt Disney was like,
I am a very rich person and she made a video for one of those
like websites like, now this or something. She made a video that was like, I am a very rich person and she made a video for one of those websites like, now this or something.
She made a video that was like,
I have the money.
I am okay paying taxes.
This Trump tax cut only benefits me
and I don't need to buy another yacht.
Like, this is, you're being tricked.
And that is what rich people should responsibly do
because you would make more money
if everyone in the country had more money.
You could sell more shit to them.
Listen, I am for taking people with great wealth, with great enormous mountains
of wealth and recirculating that money into the economy. Yes. I think it's very important.
I think if you have, you know, if you're, if let's say you've got, I don't know, let's
call it $200 billion in the bank. I understand like you need some of it.
I'm not saying we should take all of it,
but I'm just saying that you have way, way more
than you need the deficit.
And a lot of people don't.
And a lot of people don't mean we will spend more money
on fucking deficit payments than we will
on anything but the military.
I think there's a right way to do well redistribution.
There's a responsible way to do it.
And frankly, these billionaires should be proactively doing it in a serious way. And I know that sounds crazy, but
it's to protect them. Come on. I mean, look, look, look, you get to a point where it's like,
how much stuff do you need? And at some point, what are we going to have a crumbling
economy with a complete underclass that can't even purchase your products? And it's stuck.
Like, well, I don't know. I saw actually tweeted a great chart today that was,
it was about poverty.
And if you removed China from all of these charts,
you see that show, you know, poverty declining,
poverty has been rising every year since like 1981. Wow.
It's been rising. And the this is from a guy named Jason Hickle who's an
anthropologist and author. Virtually all of the gains against poverty since 2000 have come from one place,
trying to take China out and the number of people living on less than $7.40 a day,
the minimum necessary for good nutrition
and normal life expectancy has been rising steadily since 1981.
Oh, on less than 740 a day.
That is because this country has destroyed its middle class,
which only existed because we created it.
And it's pretty fucking sad. Nice, sick.
How did you see that chart that was,
it's a little chart, it's unemployment rates,
they're really high.
2016 they start to drop because of Obama's effect
on the economy, but it's labeled
Britney Spears releases work batch.
Oh no, I'm assuming that.
The jobless rate goes away down.
This is the chart cast where we just talk about charts
we saw on Twitter. It's pretty exciting stuff.
In other news, Michael Avanotti has been arrested for domestic violence charges.
Listen, I know.
I don't know any of the details.
So one thing I know is that guy's going to make a great president.
I don't know.
2020, how'd that go?
Well, look, I don't know.
Look, I don't know the details about what happened.
All I do know is that guy's going to make a great president in 2020. You know, like, I don't know. I don't want to speculate on, honestly, I don't know the details about what happened. All I do know is that guy's gonna make a great president in 2020.
You know, like, I don't know.
I don't wanna speculate on honestly.
I don't wanna speculate in the details.
I hope that he's not like a wife, beater, or whatever.
But, you know, the police don't arrest people for no reason.
Usually.
Actually, they do all the time.
No, they do.
Not rich white, not rich white dude.
Not usually guys like Michael Havanati.
Yes.
I think you can say that.
You know what, I've been, you know, it's funny.
As someone who's been recently arrested from a reason.
Yeah, that's right.
Well listen, you're a very suspicious guy.
Very suspicious character.
I do think, you know, let's see what the story is,
but it's like, it's not good.
Yeah.
Of course, now we're living in the age of false flags,
where, I mean, not that they're real,
but now my brain immediately was like, oh, there's some kind of, uh, uh, uh, they're
just, you know, like a wall.
Yeah.
So he's trying to, you know, they swatted, they swatted him basically or something, you
know, but I don't think that's really how it works when it's like a domestic.
I mean, most of California is on fire at the moment.
Yeah.
Trump is blaming, uh, funding access, even though he cut funding for 97.
Yeah. Love love love love. I don't know if you're firing. I don't know if you're falling. his blaming funding access, even though he cut funding for 97.
I don't know if you're following what's going on with Donald Trump,
but he's definitely losing his shit.
He's a real dumb dumb.
What is going on?
An asshole.
Like, Mulani is firing people from his cabin.
Oh, I have on here.
He may be firing Wilbur Ross, Brian Zinkie,
Kristen Nielsen, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
That's the reason he's dropping.
He's let all of those happen in rapids.
Exactly.
Let Matt Whitaker take all their jobs.
I want it to be just total,
I want it to be a total conflagration
inside his inner circle.
I want it to be a total meltdown.
I want to see Don Jr. indicted.
I want to see Jared and Ivanka get divorced.
I want to see, I want a destruction and terror
for all of them as much as possible, all at once.
Yeah. I mean, not nonviolent destruction and terror, obviously. I as much as possible all at once. Yeah.
I mean, not nonviolent destruction and terror, obviously.
I want Tiffany to get a terrible haircut.
I like Tiffany.
She's my favorite.
I think she's great.
She's gonna make a great present in 2024.
President Tiffany Trump.
I just sound great.
Like a bird.
That's their, yeah.
Um, so, but,
Those people are, those people are dead.
That's a lot more.
You don't know this.
Matt Whittaker.
He was involved in a bunch of like funding scams for projects.
So he funded like $26 million because his company said that they discovered time travel
or whatever.
He got 26 million in funding?
Yeah.
Well, that's just as bad investors.
Sure.
But the FTC had to step in because of that.
He also was funding.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
What was the time travel technique?
He put it out.
It didn't say details, but there was
a mocked up spaceship and it said like we they said it wasn't possible, but we found
the way time travel. What would you do? Go to the future, go to the past with a bunch
of like stock images in this promo video. What would you do with time travel? Yeah.
Either kill Trump or go to some parties I went to in college and tell myself
not to embarrass Joe.
He's making a joke, uh, uh, uh, for the service.
Oh, that's a lot of service.
Yeah, it's a sad time.
I don't think it's, I don't think it's how it works.
But um, he also was funding a toilet for men, well endowed men with extra big bull.
Oh, that sounds interesting to me.
Um, I saw that actually. Um, I like the idea. I'm trying to think of what I would do.
Okay. So, some of these like time travels possible. What do you want to do?
Forward or back? I would go back. I would fix things. I don't think you can fix things.
I would try to fix some things. I would kill Trump. Seems like it's safer to go forward.
I would stop 9-11 and prevent
everything that happened. I mean, you know what I would go fix the election. I would go fix
the election for Gore. You're looking at you're in a butterfly. Make sure it flaps his wings,
territory. I'd make sure the butterfly, ballot flaps. It's a sound of thunder. You're in sound
of thunder territory. Okay. I don't care. I mean, what I think is what I would do is I'd go to the
future. I want to see. I'd want to see. I'd rather fix the future.
I'd rather, I'd like to go to the future and like, yeah.
But not if I had my one chance of time travel.
Oh, only one shot.
I'd go to the 2006 that election.
Oh, if I only had one shot and I had to stay there,
I had to stay back in the past in the future.
As a gay person, 2000's about as far back as I could go.
Most of what to aim to grow like. Yeah, 2000's about as far back as I can go.
You know, I went to angel growing.
Yeah, you know, way far back.
You're a good shape.
I go to the 60s, get loaded, get to have everything.
If I, if I, okay, on all in all honesty,
you'd go hang out with Steve Jobs.
Invent the iPhone. Did you ever, did you read 11, 22, 63?
Yes. Amazing book. Amazing.
And I got Hulu series came out of that.
What? A good Hulu series. I didn't watch the series.
I was pretty, I watched an episode or two episodes and I didn't like what they're doing with the plot.
So I was like, I can't, I can't.
It. There's something very sad to me about the whole.
Honestly, I don't think I'd go anywhere.
I don't think I would.
You'd waste your shot.
No, I just don't, I don't want to,
I don't want to, you can take Laura and Zelda.
No, I don't want to go, I don't want to,
I don't want to go to another moment.
I don't want, I wouldn't want to.
And I don't think I'd go to 2000.
I wouldn't trust, I wouldn't trust the to. I wouldn't want to. And I don't think I'd go to 2000. I wouldn't trust the dynamics of the universe to think of I could fix something in the past
that wouldn't have some kind of weird repercussions.
I would go to 2000.
I would save some of the fears.
What if years?
What if it made you disappear?
What if you like died?
I would fix the election.
No.
Well, I would have been born.
Right.
And then I would write bad romance would, I'd write bad romance
and invent the iPhone and be the richest pop star tech
mobile in the world.
And then the iPhone would be a tricky one to do.
Because you'd have to be like, I invented this.
I'd take it with me.
Yeah, but then you'd be like,
and then I'd go look, I made this.
You'd be like, I just just buy.
It says you're a manufacturer by, yeah.
No connection.
Yeah, no connection, exactly.
Oh my God, I've been watching the show manifest.
I haven't seen it.
Oh my God, it's like a lost, it's about a plane.
It's people get on a plane.
Oh, I heard about this and they get off
and it's time travel.
It's five years later.
Yeah, and they haven't aged, but everybody else
has like moved on.
Yeah, and action would want to watch that.
It's an interesting setup.
I definitely don't, I mean mean it's definitely like it's god
It's aliens. It's a it they're in a simulation my theory now is that they're in a simulation that the whole thing is
They are social experiment. Yeah, none of this is real that it they actually haven't lost the five years
That's which is why other people have moved forward. They're being there still the same. Yeah, no
They're in some kind of weird experiment. It's all a simulation
They're gonna get out of it
and they're gonna have to get, you know, break,
there's gonna be like levels, you know.
They're gonna get out, they're gonna meet some weird,
either like an alien craft somewhere
or they're gonna be like in some fucking base
they have to get out of.
And that's a good couple of seasons to get through.
Yeah.
Anyhow, it's, the show's very bad and stupid,
but I can't stop watching.
Well, not on a similar note,
but the other thing we should probably talk about
is politics-wise, is Trump on Veterans Day
did not go to the Veterans Memorial in France
because it was reigning and obviously his hair conflicts.
Listen, it was very wet, okay, and it's a long walk.
But I have to say, like his excuse,
the secret service wouldn't let me.
First off, the secret service wouldn't let you go off the secret service one let you go now with it our outside of Paris and second
Secret service if they had their way you wouldn't be tweeting
Look it's a transparent. I mean the guy is just a weird lazy bomb. I mean he went to we he went there for the whole purpose of going to this thing and and
It's just classic Trump. I mean, he's just kind of a lazy lame
joke of a world leader. And I don't know what's going on right now with him and the Matt
Whitaker thing in this constitutional crisis to me that is, I feel like we are in something
more serious than we realize right now, but it's hard to see it. It sounds like the CNN lawsuit's not going well.
Yeah, you know.
My whole thing with that is like, just give him his press
pass back.
Like, just give it back.
Just stop.
Just keep, just stop.
Yeah, just stop.
But they're not going to do that because Trump said bully
and he wants to show how he's in charge and they're not.
Mm-hmm.
And he doesn't.
Well, he also heats the press.
And it's like, to ask him this question.
He doesn't want Jim Acosta asking him questions
that are annoying.
But yeah, I think, I mean, whatever,
the whole Trump thing is, I mean, he's clearly fraying.
He's coming apart.
He's definitely coming apart.
I mean, he's definitely coming apart.
He's definitely, and he's fighting battles on every front.
It's like a battle with the media.
He's battling with, just some extent with,
well certainly with Democrats. I mean, even Jeff Flake is now like with weed.
And Jeff Flake's a piece of shit and sure.
But even Jeff Flake is like, fuck you, I'm gonna try to pass them all our letters.
No, Jeff Flake is a phony and a bullsh**.
He is a phony. I'm sorry. Jeff Flake's always trying to be like, I'm the good guy.
I'm the never-trumper. And it's like, but you fucking fall online,
just like everybody else, so shut the fuck up.
Yeah.
But yeah, it's apocalyptic.
It feels, but it feels a little bit better than it did.
For some balance.
There's a little bit,
because I do feel like we have a lever to push
or a button or something.
And we can all fight over how we push it
and what we do and what the messaging is,
but.
What's going on with, sorry, go ahead. But it's something which
is more than we had before. What about Ruth Bader Ginsburg? How is she doing? She's back
exercising, which speaks well. I need her to stay alive. Yeah. I need her just to
like in a hyperbaric chamber. 2020, 21, I need you alive. Is it 2021? We need to go
fund me some organs for her and just pop some
noones in there who needs to get a run.
People are talking about beta or or keys of presidential,
uh, hopeful now.
Um, I think beta will will be in the running.
I think you.
Yes.
I think Cory Booker is going to throw his hat in.
No, Kristen Jellibrand.
Kmalahar is going to start.
I'm sorry, maybe Kmalah.
You don't think Kristen Jellibrand could be vice?
How about Biden?
Elizabeth Warren shot herself in the foot
with the stupid 23 and me stuff.
Biden, Bernie 2020.
You keep pushing this.
Joe Biden is president.
Bernie just had his own huge ho-
Bernie Fopah, Sanders as vice president.
He just said that people in Florida
weren't racist for not wanting to vote for Andrew Gilliam.
They were just uncomfortable with the idea
of voting for a black candidate.
Um, beautiful.
Oh, it's just like his gun.
I'm not a Bernie guy.
I'm not a, I'm not a, I'm not a, I'm not a, I'm not a, I'm not a, I'm a, I think Bernie
is very unappealing in many ways in America that people don't, I think that, no, I mean,
of course he's better than Trump.
My dog Penny is better than Trump, but they have a similar temperament actually.
But I'm just saying, I don't know what the magic ticket is.
We need a magic ticket.
You know what I like is Obama, Obama, President Michelle Obama, Vice President Barack Obama,
nothing technically standing in the way of that.
I know I wish, but I don't think Michelle wants to run. I also like, I also like,
Obama Biden to Michelle Obama,
or any combination of those two.
Michelle and Beta.
That's a winning ticket.
That is a winning ticket.
That's a winning ticket.
That would win.
Michelle Obama and Beta are two, but that would win.
And then you get Obama just hanging out in the White House again.
Yeah.
I don't hate that.
I mean, if I had my dream ticket, like my dream.
Dream.
It would be Stacey Abrams.
From the people who are available.
Stacey Abrams and Beta.
That seems a little modern to me.
I think that's a little like that's a little fresh.
Let's we you know what I mean?
Like let's do.
Yeah, but those are the two people that I actually like
and I like them too.
Incredible work.
No, I don't absolutely insane, insanely hard work.
She's wildly overqualified.
I'm not, I'm not questioning that,
but I'm just saying it's, we've only had a little bit
of time with those two.
We don't know, we don't know how it's a,
but that's what America wants right now.
And that's kind of America wants star power.
America doesn't want Nancy Pelosi. Oh no, wants star power. America doesn't want Nancy Pelosi.
Oh no, I'm not saying America doesn't want Nancy Pelosi.
They don't want any older white women
that they're familiar with.
They don't want any older white women
that they've seen already.
Nope.
If Merrill Streep ran, she would win in a fucking landslide.
If, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
They don't want Nancy Pelosi.
No matter, I mean, it's good, bad, whatever.
She's a career politician.
They've seen her many times.
Too close to Hillary.
Hillary Clinton career politician.
They've seen her many times.
They don't like, decide they don't like her.
They need somebody with electricity and star power.
Like, who's that woman?
Nurse Jackie.
She'd be great.
She's like, E.D. Falco.
E.D. Falco. Felicity he'd be Falco, he'd be Falco, Felicity Huffman.
Falco Huffman 20th.
Yeah, there you go.
I mean, Oprah, obviously.
Kerry Rethal, Secretary of State.
Guy, I like it.
I'm loving that shape of that.
I love the way that it looks.
Stacey Abrams, maybe,
well, may as VP,
yeah.
To, like a George Clooney.
I think you gotta remember,
you know, I want a woman of color at the time. Yeah, I know, think you gotta remember, you know.
I want a woman of color at the second.
Yeah, I know, but you gotta remember
there's a bunch of white people who are,
I said dream.
They're a little bit, they're still a little bit,
you know, they're not racist.
As Bernie said, they're just uncomfortable.
Oh, yeah, beautiful.
Yeah, they are.
The non-racist.
With their comfort.
You know, the non-racist people
who are just uncomfortable with people of color.
Yeah, no, it's like, I don't, I don't,
listen, I just don't believe in homosexuality,
but I love you, I love the center, not the center.
So I feel, I don't believe homosexual behavior is possible.
Me neither.
I haven't seen any of it.
Yeah, I'd like to see the evidence.
Yeah, I've never seen any evidence of it.
Also, I think, but what I'm saying is,
the American people crave star power.
They want fireworks, They want bombasts.
They want big talk.
That's why they like George fucking bush.
Anyhow, that's why they like Clinton.
Yeah, that is why they like Clinton.
And honestly, and it's honestly why they like Obama.
Yes, he had a good message.
It is of course you have to have the right message,
but you have to deliver the message in a way
that is fucking electric.
Obama was down.
I don't find Cory Booker to be interesting at all.
I like Cory Booker's politics for the most part.
It's part of your evolution of love.
Yeah, I just don't think Cory Booker's that compelling.
Kamala Harris, she's very good.
She had a moment during the Kavanaugh hearings, but that all feels like a fizzled out kind
of a dud of a situation.
You know, I feel like we got to well, I think there's a very negative,
and that being very negative for the Democrats.
I think a lot of people right now
are letting things fizzle and trying to stay out of the news,
let Trump look stupid,
and then when the presidential stuff kicks up,
we'll see all their bombats in big talk.
You do need somebody with heat
and star power and electricity and fire.
Lady Gaga Bradley Cooper.
It's a 20-toned instant,
instant success, instant president,
and vice president in Ariana Grande.
Carly Rae Jepsen.
No, not when I make it too many problems, too many dark moments
in the past.
No, I mean, Ariana Grande, the second she got out
on the campaign trail, they would just be like,
you killed Mac Miller and that would be it.
And she would say, I hate America,
I hate America.
I'm like, thank you, next.
Like I've done it.
Yeah.
Thank you, next.
Oh, so anyhow, so what I'm saying is who where are they right now?
We don't know.
Every time a beta over work and I think that's the dangerous place to go.
But then again, you know, when we first heard about Barack Obama, people were like who?
I think he would be right.
Barack O'Watta, that's what you were hearing from people.
They were actually saying that.
What were they saying? Barack O'Watta. Hus right. Barack O'Hara, that's what you were hearing from people. They were actually saying that. What were they saying?
Barack O'Hara, Hussein?
Barack Hussein, oh, it still is insane.
It is still incredible.
I have to tell you, remember when that was the weirdest thing?
Yes, we're like, Dick Cheney, Shotagai.
That was really, that.
I just remember thinking, like, I can't believe they're
going to try to run somebody. Black guy named who think a block. I did Barack Hussein Obama
And you know the Republicans were always like, you know, we're always like Barack Hussein Obama like saying like there was a connection
Yeah
But but but I think what's so incredible about America is people are like I just I just like him
I just I don't give a shit. Yeah, he sounds like you know, it's the name sounds like the terrorist name, I just like him. I don't give a shit. Yeah. He sounds like, you know, his name sounds like the terrorist name,
but I like him.
Yeah.
They just, they went for it, you know?
And that is the way people think.
They're like, wait a second, like I hear Hussain in there,
and it's like Saddam and terrorism and whatever.
And it's like, you know, but like,
because people are very dumb.
But then people are both dumber than you imagine.
And smart and useful.
That's true.
And I do think that the Americans,
I do think the American Americans, frustratingly.
I do think the American people overall
are want to do the right thing and the good thing.
I do have, and I do believe.
I think maybe it's time to end America.
I think we had a good run.
No.
I believe in the American experiment.
And I believe us tumbling ever further towards,
we'll start a new country.
Ever, ever nearer to perfection.
Canada too.
I believe in the America that I was raised
in an America soaked in the blood of its enemies in America prevailing on the world stage.
A light which shines the way for a thousand armies to stampede a space to dominate all
of the planets of the universe and all of the races, all the alien species and races
that we find there.
A fashion Hitler could only have dreamed of.
A yawning expanse of blood and murder
that will take on the universe and succeed.
That is the America that I know
and that is the America I believe in.
We need to get support for the Sith party in this country.
Listen, the order, the order knows what's best.
The imperial forces will fassal everything, submit,
or die, submit to the Sith Lord's needs.
Stat.
Anyhow, that's the America I know,
that's the America I believe in.
And that's the America that I believe,
Michelle Obama will bring back. That's why you must vote for that's the America I believe in. And that's the America that I believe Michelle Obama will bring back.
That's why you must vote for her even if she doesn't run.
Just write it in.
All right, I'm definitely getting like one more news.
Yes, one more thing and one more tonight.
Yes, a final thing.
Layer Remini has been doing that Scientology series on Annie.
And last night they did a two hour special on Jehovah's Witnesses
Wow, and the Jehovah's Witness movement in America and it's similarities to a cult
Yep similarities
That's on saying allegedly
And we were being modeled after Scientology and it made me think first off we all are
Agreed I think there's a pretty unanimous as many people who believe in climate change, I think, can
turn around and say, Scientology's bad.
Disagree.
But the whole of his witness is...
It's wrong.
Go ahead.
I'm climate change or Scientology's.
Both.
Incorrect.
But, Joe Havas' witnesses, yeah, it's really interesting.
They, because they are, quote unquote, Christians, they really get a huge pass for that kind of like stuff.
And I wanted to talk to you about the fact that they profil a ties for a,
what is ostensibly a cult in on public transportation constantly?
They're able to use the subway in a legal gray area.
And I was just uncomfortable with the whole thing.
I, I, you know, I'm a big fan of cults.
I don't think people realize that about me.
I love when people are indoctrinated and brainwashed in a cult.
That's one of my favorite things.
There's a surprising amount of celebrities that are to have his witnesses devout.
Let me tell you something.
When you've reached the pinnacle, when life is giving you all it has to offer, when you've
lit the way for a thousand
armies to storm into the into the into the universe.
No, you know, what is left but but but religion put your hope in the know, but God, the great
power of God, I am become deaf.
No, the great light and power of a God for you,
for you personally, that you only
you get to talk to and touch.
You know, and so, look, I get it.
Celebrities being indoctrinated into a cult makes perfect sense,
but look at, look at Justin Bieber and the Hillsong Church,
you know.
Well, Justin Bieber is already kind of,
I mean, Justin Bieber's from now on.
Justin Bieber's from Vanderpump rules has been going.
Yeah, Justin Bieber has, I mean, his IQ's gotta be like very low.
But I mean, did you imagine being like,
oh, my church, do you wanna come on the night?
Did you see the photo of him eating the burrito?
Justin Bieber and Jack Taylor are in it.
That was fake.
Oh, that's it.
Yeah. Okay.
It was like a prank by the way.
I was, I prankster meme YouTubers.
I barely saw, I mean, I saw it in like, in my feed.
Yeah, I was like, oh, that's weird.
But then I was like, he definitely was goofing around.
He knows how to eat a burrito.
Yeah. But um, Justin Bieber's had everything. He's been given
everything. He said every, everything you could want or need by the age of, he needs the approval.
By the age of 16 or 17, he done, he done every, he had done every sex act. Okay. By the age of 17,
he'd done everything with every person he could. Yeah'd he go, where'd he go from there? You pee in a bucket and you blame Bill Clinton.
Where'd you go?
Okay.
Go to church.
All right, let's talk about nice things.
Nice things.
Wait, what was your crush?
It was by the side.
I'm about them passing out panelists.
Do they do the little comics?
Yeah, they do the little booklets.
I like any story.
I like, you know, honestly, when I see them,
it reminds me of, it makes me think of Stanley.
That's it.
You know, they used to ask me every single day
and one day I said,
gay Jew, and they don't ask me anymore.
The people in my group.
They just spread the,
I know, the same exact people are in my corner
every time I left my apartment at the same time.
I never get approached.
I never get approached.
I think I have a very Jewish look about me.
I'm usually wearing my wear of minnacle,
outfit, you know.
You get a lot of, are you Jewish? I do. I get aical outfit, you know, you get a lot of,
are you Jewish? I do. I get a lot of journey around
passive. I get a lot of Jewish people coming up to me,
trying to get me MOTS and get into a prayer circle, which I
don't like, because I don't, I'm not a fan of prayer. I love
MOTS of that. Well, find you and you and me. I'll take the
MOTS, but I usually do take the MOTS and run. It's my little
contribution to the whole system, the ecosystem.
All right, nice things. All right, nice things. Here we go.
Okay, once again, I have to think of a nice thing.
You go first.
All right, I know you can be long, you give like four days.
I don't know if I have two things.
I don't know if I've talked about it on the show
or I've just talked about it so much.
And, sadly, that I believe that I might have talked
about on the show, but my friends T. Kyle Mack
and Bradley Stern are doing a Britney Spears podcast
where every week they do an hour of her,
an hour on a year of her career in depth
and it's hilarious and funny and bizarre and it's great.
If you don't even like Britney Spears,
it is a weird, amazing journey into 2000's culture
that you should get into.
But my nice thing this week is they dropped
a two hour special on 2007
and everything that went down with her
and like every blow by blow of Gimme More
at the VMAs and shaving her head
and hitting paparazzi's cars with an umbrella
and I mean, everything that could have happened went down
and just the complete lawlessness of paparazzi
before they put legislation in in California and the
exploitation of her children, it was just bizarre and it led to the release of an album which I
personally love called Blackout which is her best album in my opinion. It's the only one of her
albums that's in the Rock and Roll Hall fame. If you haven't heard it and you're listening to this
and you're a straight guy and you're like, man, I'm a fucking Britney music, it is a very good album,
it's fantastic, you should go in and listen to it. It was made completely executive produced by her.
A lot of the writing was by her.
And it was during a time of like mental illness
and darkness and like that fucked up 2007 stuff.
And it's just this weird, distant pop album
that really changed the way pop music was made.
And so that two-hour podcast really like sent me down
a spiral of my freshman year of college self.
And I loved it. So that's a nice
thing. And then similar to that, I went to a show last night at Chelsea Market, it has a theater
beneath it called the Chelsea Music Hall, which I was never at. And they're doing a show called
Cleopatra, which is like a Hamilton for the story of Cleopatra. And they've got amazing dancers
and a drag queen from Drag Race hosted Dusty Ray Bottoms.
And they do, like it's basically the story of Cleopatra set to like electronic, reanna style,
pop music with really good performers.
And it's all interactive, like it's all around the audience.
And the bars open the whole time.
And they've a dance party after.
And the cast is super hot and sexy.
And the whole thing, it's like two hours of just like,
the hardest pop dancing, really incredible singing,
like Beyonce level, Broadway people,
really like crushing it.
And it's just fun.
Like I just turned my brain off
and watched this incredible little musical.
It's called The Cleopatra Experience.
And it is, I was asked to go, and I was like,
I don't know what this is gonna be.
And I made John.
It's a Chelsea market has a theater beneath it, called the Chelsea Music Hall. I made John go, because I was like, I don't know what this gonna be. And I made John. It's a Chelsea market has a theater
beneath it called the Chelsea music call.
I made John go because I was like,
I don't know what this is gonna be.
And we left and I was like,
that was so fucking fun.
I'm like, I was like electric after it.
Wow.
They had great drinks that were pretty affordable.
Of an endorsement.
Definitely go.
You can get standing room tickets,
which were just as good as every other seat.
They were really, it was great.
You stand all the time.
I didn't.
I had a front row seat.
But everybody else had to stand.
But they do interactive stuff.
They bring you on stage and do stuff.
It's really fun. It sounds fun.
It was fun. They gave a bunch of people lap dances,
set to like a pop song for a child,
then not for a child.
No, no, no.
It's all the way around.
Okay, it sounds good though.
It's great.
You know, every week is a challenge for me.
I'm a very busy guy.
I'm working on a lot of stuff right now.
And I don't have a lot of time doing that.
You're doing that new website where you spoof on celebs,
you draw a comma on their face and say,
yeah, yeah, that's right.
That's it.
You make fun of teens.
Yeah, I'm working on a website.
It's a kind of about celebrity gossip.
Called Sherr, it's called Josh Hilton.
Josh Hilton.
And I do like funny.
They got like, draw like a penis with Com coming out of it. On a teenager. On a teenager's face. uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, find out what how that culture fucking eat itself alive. Wow. Front of the American public. I should do that.
But, um, no.
So I don't get a lot of time doing, join myself, you know.
I get a, you know, I get a few drinks in.
I just go to bed.
It just rips.
Just go to bed.
Just get rips shit and baths out.
Just get fucking drunk off my ass on six or seven
vasspers and then just face down on the mat.
You're a root and toot and cowboy till you pass out. That's right. I mean, that's the thing with red neighborhood I fucking drunk off my ass on six or seven VASpers and then just face down in the mess.
You're a root and toot and cowboy till you pass out.
That's right.
I mean, that's the thing with red never never.
It's like, I'm like, I don't want to do it.
I don't want to have to go get deer meat for this so much time.
I don't want to, you know, anyhow,
I should just go on a kill crazy rampage and think,
I should just, that's what I should do.
I just unleash like whatever, get my demons out.
No, I've been, I started listening to reading,
slash listening to the book, Bad Blood.
Oh yeah, I read it like by John Kerry.
Kerry you.
