For episode 147, Josh and Ryan discuss the most boring and fascinating topics of the week (CES and Bradley Cooper's French dialect, respectively), before reading Jeff Bezos' bizarre sexts aloud for some unfathomable reason. Also: Amazon is trying to kill your gaming consoles, the federal government has decided to take a month-long sabbatical, and Ring is letting its employees watch you sleep. Yeah, 2019 blows.

Hey and welcome to tomorrow, I'm your host Josh Witsbulski. Today on the podcast we discuss Michael Corleone, a live girl and gelato. I don't always one minute. Let's get right into it. Alright, well, it's another week, another week in the brand new year where everything is perfect and nobody is upset. How are you feeling? Extremely 2019. Yeah, it's extremely 2019, right? I'm feeling like I got to say I'm feeling like 2019 is very similar to 2018. Real, real done so far. It's like just a lie. It's like what if 2018 never ended? That's the question the 2019 poses to you. 2018. 2019. I see what you're doing so far, but I do have notes

before we move forward. What a 2018 is just, what a 2018 is 24 months long. 2018 to electric Bougaloo. Yeah, exactly. And we didn't realize it. All right. So this is a one is the one thing is like we're kind of back on a regular schedule, which is good.

We've been all over the fucking place, and we finally got together at the right time, which I'm excited about. I feel like the holidays completely destroyed my life in a positive way, in a good way. In my body. Yeah, oh no, definitely. No, I've got a holiday body.

It's not good. I feel like Paddington. And now I've acquired what's known as Manorexia, which I'm excited about. Oh, speaking of Manorexia, Penn Badgly, I started watching this show you, which we should talk about. Penn Badgly, should I be concerned?

I feel like he's got a Manorexic situation going on. I'm kind of wondering about the people who are romantically interested in his character. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Lord, I were talking about it. So just really quickly, this is very off topic. I don't even think it's on our list, but maybe it is on our list.

You as a show that I think originally did not err, it's not an Netflix show, it's like a true TV or something. Lifetime? It's the greatest thing the Lifetime's ever produced. It's a really, really good super fucked up show. And, and, I'm not a second.

And anyhow, Penn Badgley is in it, and he plays, I don't want to ruin it for anybody, but he plays a completely psychotic stalker. And people on Twitter are like, please kidnap me, and he's like, no thanks. And it's like, it's like, yeah, he's the bad guy in the show. Like, it's like, I know you want to be like. This is like when everyone was hot for Gone Girl,

and they were like, oh my god, amazing Amy, it's total relationship goals. You're like, oh my God, amazing Amy is total relationship goals. You're like, guys, yeah, or like, like Neil Patrick Harris, what a catch. It's like, no, no, it's not. That's wrong. No, but here's the thing. You know how like Dexter? Now, there are elements that there's very dexter vibe to some parts of the show where you're like,

yeah, like, he's a bad guy, but he's a kind of good bad guy but no, he's a bad bad guy. Like, dude, he's not a good bad guy. Like, it's not like, you're like, oh, but he's killing like the other bad guys. Like, there are, there are, there's like bad guys but they're like just like, rude. You know, it's like what everyone is really hot for Draco Malfoy. Like, they were really like, I don't know the raps for things. I understand that he is a Harry Potter character,

he is blonde hair. But it was like, oh, you see like this tiny wizard magic Nazi because he's blonde? Wait a second, does Malfoy, does he join forces with, oh, he becomes real Nazi youth until the end, he's real Nazi youth. Is, real, real, not to youth until the end. He's real not to youth is, but is he, is he down with Voldemort?

Oh, he's down with VVV. Okay, I, okay, I don't know, because I know Voldemort is, Wizards used to shit themselves and then magically make it disappear according to JK Rowling. So, anyhow, the the point long and short. The long and shit of it.

Okay, so hold on, what was I saying? Oh, right, so anyhow, you people are like Penn Bachelor, they're like, I want to help you to get that. Kidnap me and it's like, it's, yeah, kidnap me daddy. And he's like, but he's on Twitter very earnestly like, that's weird. No, I don't want to do that to you. But I use a good show. You check it out. I've only watched like two and a half episodes, but I've enjoyed it. It's kind of a downer. But what isn't in this world? Am I right, Ryan? Anyhow, okay, let's talk about, let's get into the

the big stories. Let's get into the CES. Let's do it all. Let's see. I think it's official. CES has never been less reported. Has there ever been more boring, less relevant or uninteresting? I like that Nintendo moved all of its news announcements to a small YouTube channel, like tiny little shows with Reggie being like, we've got a new Donkey Kong thing.

And the entire industry is still in Las Vegas very excitedly telling us that they're laptop batteries are slightly larger. Listen, there's, there's a real kind of running on fumes. Now listen, CES is actually a trade show. That's the first thing that everybody should know is that. And I've said this before, I've talked about it before. There is actually, there is business that has done in CES that has nothing to do with like the journalistic side of it. It's just people are there to make deals. There are people there who are there to just you know Find things to distribute. There are people who are looking for people for distributors. There are in hotel rooms There are things happening. Oh, yeah, there are things happening hotel rooms believe me

But but but in it has been increasingly boring But it has been increasingly boring for the last several years. And that's because, like with all technology, we are in a valley of innovation, which was could stretch for a very long time. I think we talked about this last week about the television and radio sort of legacies, and how long things last for.

It's cool that Sonos has Google Assistant in it now, but it is not really very meaningful in the grand scheme of things. You didn't need to rent a show hall to tell me about that. Like, it's great. It's great. I'm happy. Like, you made an AK TV. That's nice. Most people don't use their 4K TV. I can tell you that. They took two 4K TVs and a Google home and glued them together. then I read it a bit. So me made it. It's something like telling me I didn't even see it but somebody was like there's a TV

It's like made of different parts and you could like take it apart and have a smaller TV If you like don't want a bigger TV and it's like what why where's the wall where you're like I filled the wall with a TV But now I'm gonna take some stuff off it to what hang a picture temporarily. Like what are you gonna, like what's that? Honey, honey, I'm gonna go cook in the kitchen. Could you help me disassemble and remount to television in that room? Cause I wanted to watch the show. Yeah, exactly, exactly.

I, by the way, when I hear anybody say honey, now I immediately, well, I've always felt this way, but I, Lauren, I've been watching a little bit of sex in the city, and so I just immediately think of Samantha because she literally like, there's not a single episode where she's like oh honey. What I was like we were talking about the other dishes like I was like oh honey she's like you could take the martini out of the man but you can't take the man out of the martini.

I'm like it's exactly the kind of uh meaningless she doesn't she doesn't say that but it's exactly kind of meaningless thing that Samantha says all the time. The more time that passes the more obvious it is that sexistity was written by gay men who wish they can oh my god oh my god and it's a great it's a great show and I recommend to tell everybody but at any The more time that passes, the more obvious it is that Sex and the City was written by gay men who wished they could get. Oh my God. Oh my God. And it's a great show and I recommend to tell everybody. But at any rate, so yes, yes.

Yes. Real bad. Am I right? I mean, whatever. It's like going to the big news story, though, is that Apple didn't show up and yet. All anybody can ever show up. But they put a banner up.

They put a banner up. They put a banner up and they threw air play in a bunch of TVs because they want everyone to eventually adopt their streaming network platform that they're gonna launch next year. And everyone is like, really actually, this is some sea change. And I'm like, isn't this the same company

that two weeks ago we were discussing has no clue what it's doing at the moment? I'm just like, I'm sorry, this is totally off topic, but I was just scrolling a website that covered CES extensively and that has supposedly innovative ad products. And sorry, I just had to take a screenshot. And I'm just looking at some of the ugliest ads

I've ever seen in my entire life. And I've got to say, people really need to consider design, really, really need to consider design. Anyhow, sorry, total aside. But yes, very many dunk in the middle of my CES, just a little, a mini micro sub tweet dunk. But, but what I will say is, uh, you know, I think the way we talk about technology and the way we cover technology needs to, uh, evolve.

I'll say that. I just don't think it's very interesting that someone took a desktop computer through a screen on top of it. It costs $4,000. It gets an hour of battery life and they're like, this is the greatest gaming laptop ever. And everyone's covering it as if this is some innovative new experiment in computing. And like, yes, PCs are now so good that we can, we're trying weird things with them. But this is not a finished product. This is not a use case from, like, I'm gonna say, over 99.99% of consumers, it's not a good idea. It's not, there's nothing new happening here.

It, you wouldn't want to use this device, even if it solved some problem you have. And that, that isn't the story being written that you just made a giant device that is a waste of everybody's time. The story is like, look what they're doing. New stuff, claps for whoever did this. Or like Lenovo putting out basically a clone of the Surface Studio at the exact same price. These are not, this is not why people go to CES, which again is a trade show.

People don't go there to see a clone of the Surface being sold by Lenovo. They go there because they're expecting to see some future of technology, a direction we're going in. And if that direction is just throwing voice assistance and things, like I have news for you, I don't even think voice assistance are like, I know this, people are going to disagree with this because people seem to really be hype on the voices in the category. I don't even think that's a category going anywhere. So just because you glued it to a bunch of other devices

doesn't, doesn't, does not an innovation make. You're preaching to the choir, but go on. The one thing I did think was interesting from CES, and this wasn't even a, I don't even know if this was shown as much as CES, but I do think is an interesting category, is the Oculus Quest, which is 399, does not require a PC, it's a completely like self enclosed VR solution from Oculus with all of their games available.

And I did see that and think like, this is the first step towards VR being something that like normies and locals can buy and really got a great experience out of. And I thought that was the most interesting thing I saw, and it was completely not covered at all, in favor of covering, we changed the keyboard trackpad to be slightly off the track.

Yeah, it's just even talking about how boring it was as boring makes it. I tell you, not saying you're boring, because you're always interested in Ryan. But am I, am I, sometimes it's like maybe not, but you know what, I'll allow it. I'll allow it. No, it's a bad scene out there.

And anyhow, I just feel like just generally speaking, it just is a further reminder to me that the way in general technology is covered in technology companies and innovation and products and apps and services, it is actually had this like exchange with Casey Newton, who I love and is super smart writer, who I hired and loved when I was at the verge. And, you know, he was talking about,

Tim Cook was like, you know, to confl- he's like a, a, a, a, a, imagine if Apple did X, Y, and Z, and like took Google and Facebook off their platforms for the Facebook off their platforms because they don't agree with their use of, you know, they use people's data or whatever. And I was kind of like, you know, it's like sort of bad to conflate those two companies because they're super different. You know, and he's like, well, that's what Tim Cook does. And I was like, we went down this rabbit hole

of a conversation about like, well, is it in our job to kind of check that when people are like conflating? That's what Trump does, you know? Trump's like, all Mexicans are rapists or maybe some of them are good, but most of them are drug dealers are rapists. And it's like you're supposed to go, we're all supposed to go, Trump's wrong.

By the way, I think fact checking is the whole fact checking because that's a whole other topic. But our job is to go like, no, actually that's bullshit. And here's why. And I just think that like generally when I look at coverage or something like as a person who knows the space pretty well, I just think this gotta be a better way. It's gotta be a more modern way to cover this stuff

and to talk about it and more real and more honest and more useful to the audience. And anyhow, just some thoughts I'm having and maybe we'll talk more about that in the future. All right, what else we have? Also, yes, let women sex to a dead. If you're gonna let men sex to a dead end. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, That's my understanding. So, which I think is similar to many people I know. Similar to myself.

No, but it is full featured. And it won the best in CES, something like a CES innovation award or whatever, and then they were like, sorry, we're pulling your work as you're obscene. And it's like, honestly, let me say two things. One, CES, doesn't fuck, that's obvious. But it does fuck.

They put men's sex toys on the show floor. What is a men's sex toy when you think about it? A flashlight. All reality. Every person that they can get their hands on. But what I was gonna say is, I do think for the company, it's actually way better, way better for them to have.

That's right, it's a big, it's so much of a bigger deal. Now, they're like the, like, band of ICS product and like they have this whole, I mean, I'm not saying, like, I'm not going to go down to some kind of conspiracy rabbit hole and say, like, the entire thing was planned to give them press, but because that's not the case. But I will say, I think they're going to, they're going to make out an upon intended better having listened the band. Super bowl commercials were a viral like fucking genre on YouTube for several years for products and companies were making commercials that would not be allowed to be played during the

Super Bowl so that you would go watch it on YouTube. So yeah, it's what it's all about. It's what it's all about anyhow. So you see yes, uh, truly, um, a catastrophic bore in my opinion. I'm like, I'm sorry. Like I just am not going to get a boner about laptops. I don't care how fucking much neon the laptop has. Like I don't care how fast it is. It's just like, it's a laptop, guys. Like you're gonna have to do better than that. So in other technology news, yeah, Jeff Bezos is getting a divorce. Oh, poor Jeff, poor Jeff. Poor Jeff.

He was very busy having sex with his friends wife. So now he's getting a divorce and his sex leaked. So, hold on, let's just set this up. Jeff Bezos announced, yeee today, earlier today. I believe it was this morning, yesterday. Yesterday. He was like, we, friends and family, he literally did a tweet. He's like, everybody, I'm, you know, it's a biter with bittersweet.

I have this bittersweet news. My wife and I have started playing. Yeah, my wife and I have 25 years are separating where the best of friends, bubble, bubble, they have like 25 kids. Now they have like four kids or whatever, but they were kind of like, you know, they've been together for 25 years. His wife is not an unattractive woman. I mean, Jeff Bezos is Jeff Bezos. I mean, he's like, you know, he's not like Fabio. I mean, Fabio's actually not good looking at my opinion, but like, I don't know who he's a Brad Pitt, you know, like he's Jeff Bezos. And he sure he got a little cut. He has a vest now or whatever. But listen, people who separate, that happens.

You know, they just decide. It's time, you know, they're not feeling it anymore. But then the next day, the National Quire who is a disgusting rag, vile garbage rag that- And is only doing this because he owns the Washington Post in Texas. Right, I mean, to be clear, like the National Quire is a piece of shit and the people who run it are pieces of shit.

But to their credit, they got some of his leaked sects that he sent to this woman that he's apparently dating and has been dating while married, whose name I'm now blanking on, what is her name? Entertainment Tonight host Lauren Santos. Yeah, so anyhow, he said here's some texts. One of them is, so one of them, and Jeremy Gordon our culture at the Rodon article about the,

kind of like the historical bad sex from like very famous men. One of his sex, apparently, I love you a live girl. And everybody's kind of like, everybody's like trying to figure this out, right? Like, is it a... Is it a... Is it a... Is it a kind of code? Is it like a nickname? Is it some like in joke? Is it a is it a auto correct fail? Now I have a theory. My theory is it's an Alexa, it's an Alexa

fail. I think I think he's like, you can imagine the guy who basically created Alexa is like using Alexa a lot. You know, he's like, text Lauren, I love you my girl. And Alexa's like, I love you a live girl. And then boom, next thing you know, I love you my girl is also a weird way to phrase it. I love you a lot girl, maybe, but there's a comma. I mean, but we don't know, this could be an indictment of Alexa's translation abilities

if you ask me. And that's either then, Jeff, the banner story is Jeff Bezos cannot sext. Here's, let me just read you some of the sext. If you're using Alexa to sext, you don't know how to fuck. I don't know how to fuck. I hate asking, I hate asking a computer out loud

to like find a movie for me. So like the idea of like doing sext, like the idea of speaking sexts out like the idea of speaking sex out loud to a computer to then translate it to send to a loved one or a lusted after one is a is a deeply gross concept to me. Here's let me give you a little. Let me give you a little. There was an episode of real housewives where someone uh... it was it was outed as their um... their fiance had cheated on them and they were having a complete nervous breakdown

and she took out her phone countess Luanne touched the series and said why would you do this to me? question mark as the step stupid bullshit it's so bad ever seen it's the worst... listen i'm sorry so bad. I've ever seen. It's the worst.

Listen, I'm sorry. I know everybody's like, it's all about voice. But I'm sorry. No, it is not. I think it's a serially voice. I think we made some sorry voice. That ain't not. No, I hate it.

That ain't it. I think it's like, maybe it's like, Alexa, turn on the lights in the living room. Okay. Maybe. Not like Alexa, like text my wife It's over. I'm leaving you. I can't take it any longer. I just don't love you anymore

This is like when Carrie Bradshaw got broken up with on a post it. Don't you over voice I can't Anyhow a lot of sex in the city talk over here, but I know getting getting back to my point It's what I'm gonna read point. Let me read you. Let me read you some other things that he said, I will show you with my body and my lips and my eyes very soon. I want to smell you. I want to breathe you in. I want to hold you tight. I want to kiss your lips. I love you. I am in love with you. Now, I have to say, as far as sex go, they're not very hot.

They are very romantic. If I got a sex like that, I would be uncomfortable, but that's just me, you know. Talks with the both gays, love the chat. I don't, you know. I wanna hold you tight, I wanna kiss your lips. It's like, okay, I love you, I am in love with you. All right, fine, I guess.

I feel like sex need to be kind of full throttle or not at all. Like, I don't think you should sex like, I wanna smell you. Alright fine, I guess. I feel like sex need to be kind of full throttle or not at all. Like, I don't think you should sex like I want to smell you. I think it should be way more graphic and intense than that if you're sex day. Okay. That's my personal opinion. And if you get a sex for me, you'll know what I'm talking about. Gay people's best innovation ever was skipping the sex, going straight to the nude, describing exactly what we're about to do and then going and doing it. Wow. That was our greatest innovation. You know what I don't need?

You know what I mean? You know what I mean? I do not need someone writing fanfiction about me in my eye messages. I know. That is not a turn on. It is. It is not. I think if you got, I think if you got really specific stuff you're gonna do and you can talk about it in a way it is not, I think if you've got, I think if you've got really specific stuff you're gonna do and you can talk about it in a way that is not completely gross. Like some people are pretty good with words. Most people aren't. I mean, it's fine if you want to write that down, you know,

but like, I don't know. It's just the problem is, I don't wanna, I'm not trying to kink shame Jeff Bezos. And by the way, also, I don't care if he has a girlfriend and I don't care if he's divorcing his wife. Like, I think he's free to do that. He's free to do that. This is a free country, okay?

And if he and his wife are on whatever terms, that's their shit, that's their business. And I don't care. I mean, I will say this about the article, I just wanna be clear. I'm not, we're not really, this is not a judgment on Jeff Bezos and his affair or anything. It's just a judgment about how bad the sexes are, okay?

And I think that's fair game, you know? But like, I don't think anybody should like dunk, I mean, listen, his wife has a right to be mad at him if she's mad at him. We don't know what she is right now. Everybody can be like, he's a bad man. And he's, but like, it's like, you know, people's personal lives are their personal lives. And like, you don't know the contours of that personal life enough to like be like, Jeff Be he's a bad man. But like it's like, you know, people's personal lives are their personal lives.

And like you don't know the contours of that personal life enough to like be like Jeff Bezos is a bad guy. It's like maybe his wife is also as a boyfriend. And they're like, yeah dude, he's been 25 years. Let's fucking, let's like jam out in some other direction at this point, you know? Like I'm just saying people are always like making these massive assumptions about what's going on.

I think it's dangerous to do that. I don't think it's, but I think it's fair to say his sex are pretty poor. Any how? That's fair to say that the man can sell books, but should not write one. Yes. Oh, very good. Did you plan that? That's an excellent. No, I didn't. Wow. That is a tweet that you should do in my book. Well, I can't, I deleted Twitter. We'll get to it. Yeah. Yeah. How that's so good. It's just smart. Oh, okay. We got what's next? The company ring. I love it. Love the company and I love the film.

I'm actually a ring to guy, but I'm more of a ring go fan. But the company ring gave its employees access to all customer video feeds on side and outside their homes. So nice. And this is just coming out now. So if you had a ring device in your house, any of the employees of that company could just watch you whenever. So you know, it's just something that I always think

about like, and somebody read my Gmail at Google, you know, that's like probably my number one concern in life is that somebody can read my Gmail. You know, I'd like, but I also, I mean, there's this device, I mean, they're, okay, so we've had intervals of different video devices in our house, because you know, we've a kid, and you have a monitor, most people now get a video monitor.

You were like, oh, we should get a, whatever the fucking thing is, that everybody, the Nest Cam or whatever. People are like, use the Nest Cam. So the Nest Cam has to like upload your shit to a website somewhere and then you can like view it. It's not like, it's not like on a secure network in your home or anything.

It's not going to like your personal server. And I always was uncomfortable with that. So we never used it. And yeah, somebody can like pick up your whatever the, you know, 2.5, 2.4 gigahertz, whatever you're, you know, your little in-home unit is doing, but it's pretty unlikely that anybody would do that, to be honest, you should be in the US being physical proximity. I do think like there's some stuff you don't necessarily want touching the internet, and I would say a camera that's on my house all the time would be at the top of that list. There was, I'm trying to see which company did it. Someone introduced it to the CES, a baby video monitor, but it's completely closed circuit

and it doesn't leave your. Yeah, that's what I want. I don't need it now, but that's what I would have wanted. I mean, it's actually, on that point, it's sort of insane to me, like the baby products are so, there's so much opportunity for better baby products. And so, so few people have actually attempted it. It's sort of nuts to me.

Like literally everybody I know buys this like motorola baby monitor that was made in like 1999. It has like a three, you know, a three 20 by 480 display. It's like very low res, very low quality, but like it kind of gets the job done. And like does somebody to put Alexa in a diaper, Jeannie? No, I don't want to let anywhere near my baby. I don't we don't have no like that's been a big debate. I don't want any of that shit. I don't want Zelda to be like talking to fucking Google. Like the one thing I do actually think is cute that Google home does side note is you can read any

children's book and it will listen and then add sound effects as you read. Okay, that's really cool. That is, that is cute. But also like kids don't need fucking sound effects. They need to use their imagination. True. You know, it was great when you imagine what it would sound

like when something's happened in a book, not that it is produced for you by a Google fucking AI. You're now the parent that only gives their child cardboard boxes and no toys because you need to use your head. No, I'm okay with, look, I mean, Zelda like watches her iPad and has shows and plays games. And you know, we do have this Paw Patrol game for the PS4 that she's been playing.

And you know, I'm like, she's extremely online. She's got several like Fins Day accounts. And you know, whatever and you know whatever you know she's got to burn her phone or two but the point is that she doesn't have TikTok videos she does it that's right she's got a whole TikTok following of all of old men creeps but I won't let her have sound effects during stories that's so that's where I draw the line that's where I say no no, thank you, sir.

Hey, hey, hey, no beef sounds. Okay, this is my daughter. We're talking about. Get back on my TikTok. I'm gonna read the fucking adaptation of Moana and hear the surf of wafting in while we're talking about the history of Moana's tribe. No, thank you.

Anyhow, I'm sure that happens. She does have these books, these Disney books that are like they read for you. You press like a button and it like goes through the part of the book. It's like color coded. Those might have sound effects actually. I had one of those, I think Sega made them.

I forget what they were called, but they were like all sonic stories. No, yeah, definitely. I know I need to, we never need a Sonic leap frog game that was like Sonic and name only and it would just be like Sonic and green and it feels like. Sonic, Sonic teaches math. Or what?

Sonic would like run in and be like, I can't keep going until I know what one plus one is. It's good, I'd find that fun. That's good shit man, that's good motivation. And then you get to know, the Paw Patrol game has, I mean, the pop show game has no educational value. It's just like a, it's like a platformer where you can't die. It's like, I guess, I guess it's very frustrated to watch that. I'll learn how to play a platform game because I'm like, don't you want to collect all

the bones? And she's like, I don't care about the bones. It basically is like, you know, the, you know, the gold rings in Sonic, you can collect it like, you know, it has that, but they're little bones, cause you know, pop troll, they're all, pups, and I'm like, you can get all the bones, and she's like, I don't care about the bones. I'm like, why? I'm like, go back and get those bones.

Like, we've got, they don't like, kind of your arguments about it, which is definitely like, on me. I mean, I have the problem. You know, you know, you don't care if you're out of a joy thing. You know, how does when you're playing a game, you want to get all the stuff.

Yeah, come on, anyhow. This is what I do to John during Assassin's Creed. Okay. Oh my god, yes, you're like, right, it's like, get the power up. I am a backseat driver. I'm like, kill them all, you're an assassin, kill them. Yeah. So you can play Assassin's Creed, not kill anybody, right?

Yes. Yeah, that's how Laura would do it. I can frustrate you. You try to do it. I Yeah, that's how Laura would do it. I get frustrated. You can try to do it. I get frustrated. I get frustrated. I get frustrated. I get frustrated.

I get frustrated. I get frustrated. I get frustrated. I get frustrated. I get frustrated. I get frustrated. I get frustrated. I get frustrated.

I get frustrated. I get frustrated. I get frustrated. I get frustrated. I get frustrated. I get frustrated. I get frustrated. I get frustrated. I get frustrated. I get frustrated. I'm like, I just need to kill everybody in this room so I can get to the lever that opens the door

that I need to get to. This is ridiculous. Yeah, there was a large ethical conversation happening around Spider-Man, and then at a certain point in the game, I was like, just murder everybody. I don't care. I'm like, wait, it's a bad guy.

It's time to die, buddy. It's like, no, there's like the metal gear games is in and you're just like, oh, I'm gonna put you to sleep. It's like, well, it's actually easy to shoot you with a silencer. I mean, sorry,, oh, I'm gonna put you to sleep. It's like, well, you know, it's actually easier to shoot you with a silencer. I mean, yeah, sorry. This is why I'm not Batman, because I'd just be snapping next right?

Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't know, the new Batman has a gun. I'm like, I understand why. I mean, you're up against the Joker and fucking the Redler and the penguin fucking clay face. I mean, if I'm sorry, if I had to fight clay face, I'd get a gun. Okay, I'd be like, this is a monstrosity and I need a gun

No, I defy if I if I defy play face I'd get one of those boring company flamethrower It's just melt the mother fucker. I don't think that would do it. I think what you need to do with clay faces I guess you could bake him you need to lure him into you need to lure clay face into like a kill do a kill Hey Clay face Meet me at the Make my own pottery or whatever. Yeah, make my own. Or me, Matt, Colour me my hide.

Colour me my hide. Well, I've looking at Clayface right now because I haven't thought of him in a really long time. Let me just see. Clayface and the wear bat were the scariest ones to me when I was in. Wear bat, you mean man's body. Man bat. Yeah.

Man bat because it's a good body. Well, they're like, oh yes, it's bat men. It's like, but what if I was a wear bat. You mean man's body man bad man bad man bad man bad because it's a good body that one they're like yes is bad man it's like but what if there was a man bad and it's like okay but it actually makes sense more the other way like like man bad would be more like what Batman is which is like a man who's like sort of you know doesn't bat stuff where the Batman is like a as a bat that's a man yeah it's bat first man, and anyway, okay, so I'm just looking up a clay face. I'm just looking at what his, has he ever been put into a kiln? That's what I want to know. Okay, doesn't look like it. Can you turn the sandman into glass question?

I mean, with enough pressure, I assume. I think it's heat. I thought it was pressure. It's probably heat and pressure. I don't know, oh, maybe it's heat. I don't know,. It's probably heat and pressure. I don't know. Oh, maybe it's heat. I don't know. Look, I'm not a scientist, okay?

All I know is if you put clay face in a kiln, you get a beautiful pot, and he'll stop crying, doing crying. And that's the least we could ask. Okay, let's sex. Let's go. Let's watch. Yeah, it's dark night rises.

Okay, anyway. In other breaking news. Yeah. Well, you know, me. Um, did you watch the Golden Globes? I unfortunately did watch some of the Golden Globes and I have to say there are so many globes and they are very golden. I'm so not so much. I'm so tired of, uh, somebody had a good line.

I'm trying to think of who it was. I mean, Jeff Bridges thing was great, you know? He's like, that was a wonderful absurdist job. Like, Bridges, like, they showed his like, all his performances and it's like, it's like his range, it's, you know, he was introduced by I think, I wanna say Chris Pine, you know, who's in a movie with,

he was in a cowboy movie with, and he's like, his range and his scope of his efforts and blah, blah, and then like, they showed a compilation of his clips and it's like, it's like 90% cowboys. Like, I like Jeff Bridges. He's a really good actor. That it's like, it's like, it's like,

cowboys in pajamas. Yeah, it's like, it's like 150 cowboys in the Tron guy. Like, that's the way, that's what Jeff Bridges has been doing. He's like, oh, he's like, guy, man, you know, man. That's insane. He's either like, man,, like he's got a gun or he's got a gun on him. That's it for Jeff.

No, he's very talented guy. So I saw that. I saw stars born get shut the fuck out unless I'm mistaken. I mean, what's going on Bradley Cooper? Is he, does he had work done? Is somebody going on with his face? So, something weird is having with his face, right?

And Tom Cruise and Brad Penn all did the thing. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't want to hear about Tom Cruise. They all did the thing where they got a little work done before it was ahead. It's the forehead. And they don't know to let it settle for three months.

They get it done right before. He looks as a brownie, Cooper. Nothing I care. Hey, let's go through. But Bradley Cooper, you're a handsome man. I got you. Should have told him years ago, you get it done and you wait three months for it all to settle.

She says, she says, she says, she says, it's a work done. Oh, yeah. She had the nose, she had the nose done. She's pretty crazy. She's had a lot of, it's fine. You know what, fine, whatever she has to do, whatever she wants to do. I don't care.

I will say this about Bradley Cooper. Somebody had a great tweet. They were like, I gotta find this tweet. It was like, why does Bradley Cooper insist on dressing like a serial killer with germaphobia? And the accompanying picture is like absolutely perfect. Also, you know what I learned recently is that Bradley Cooper was in alias?

Oh yeah, I had no idea that he was in it on a TV show. He's just getting more and more. He's Bradley Cooper's face, a lot of actors' faces are a lot like the way that the Jeep Cherokee has evolved, where it's the same thing, but weirdly smoother and smoother to a point where you're like, is that a Jeep Cherokee? Because it's so smooth. Yeah, no, it's like, it's a really good, really good analogy, but it is, it is definitely like, you know, I don't know, he's a good looking guy.

I actually, here's saying, I never thought Bradley Cooper's good looking, he was like one of those people, he's like Chris Pine in a way. It's like your face is vaguely good looking, I think, but it's so, it's so not, I'm not as good looking. It's just so not interesting that it's kind of like boring and not good, it's like your face is good looking, but it's so, it's so not, that's not as good looking. It's just so not interesting that it's kind of like boring

and not good. It's like, your face is good looking, but it's boring overall. It's like Matt Bommer. Matt Bommer is beautiful. Oh my God, Bommer's so boring. He's so boring looking. We're seeing a Miller who's stunning,

but I immediately forget what she looks like. Yeah, it's like, you're definitely a beautiful person. A which beautiful person you are is up for debate at this point. No, it definitely get away with a crime if there were a bunch of models in the scene. Our editor, Brandy Jensen, wrote this piece about Army Hammer. She's like, he could be the most prolific serial killer in the world because he has a face,

but you could not possibly describe it if so you had to. It's true. I can imagine Army Hammer's voice before I can imagine his face. Let me say something. I wrote an elevator. I wrote an elevator with Army Hammer. voice before I can imagine his face. Let me say something. I wrote an elevator. I wrote an elevator with Army Hammer. What do you smell like?

And, hold on, it was at Southwest, there was another really famous guy on the elevator. It was Army Hammer and like somebody more famous than Army Hammer. A Ham's worth? Yeah, maybe. Something like that, hold on, let me think. It might have been Chris Evans.

Oh, oh. It might have been honestly, I might have been on an elevator at South by Southwest with Chris Evans and Army Hammer. It's possible and one of the guys who you get that life experience. I don't know.

I don't know. They had a dog. I think I'm gonna pet the dog. I can't remember. But anyway, I remember thinking like, yeah, you are a person and I've seen you before. But I don't know who you are. I mean, I knew who he was, like deep down,

but at any rate, he's a fine man. They're all wonderful guys. This one's like completely out of control. He looks like, like totally like a serial killer. Like, I mean, he looks very Diane Keaton. He's also like, are you morphing into Jason Bateman? Like, what's happening here? I was just gonna say that. but somebody else like somebody older like

I Don't know it's very confusing like Michael Douglas. Yeah, it's like are you morphine into Michael? Like are you becoming old Michael Douglas now? I don't know what's happening. It's very strange also very Albert knobs But here's the most amazing thing. I mean we already talked about this We already talked about this there's just there's a talked about this. Do we already talk about this? There's a French TV show. Do we watch this video together? Oh, where?

Yeah, where? Yeah, I've watched this video like four times. I don't know. I don't know if people have seen this and I think everybody needs to see it. There's a, right after a star has born came out, Bradley Cooper is doing a press tour and he's like, he's on this French TV show.

He's got his earpiece in and he's like, he's on this French TV show, he's got his earpiece in and he's like, the French presenter's talking him. By the way, French interview shows are the best. They're just the fucking best. They're so weird. And Bradley Cooper's like, can I take my earpiece out and try to do this, try to do the interview in French? And then you're like, oh, like maybe Bradley Cooper

is gonna do a couple of French lines or whatever. We'll do a lingo. And he's like, he speaks like maybe Bradley Cooper is gonna do a couple of French lines or whatever. We'll do a lingo. And he's like, he like speaks like beautiful, perfect fluent French. And he's like, and the presenter's like, how do you know, how do you know how to speak French? He's like, oh, I studied for a semester here and I felt like I wanted to know how to speak the language.

And so I just like learned it. It's like, fuck you, dude. And everybody's like, and he sounds so French. He's like, he was like, I might direct a movie and then it was a star, his power. He's doing like, he's like a French laugh. He's like, he's like, aw, that's right.

He's like doing all the French things. He's like, he's cooking, he's cooking like, like he makes his own mayonnaise and it's like, no, but like, but he's like, but it's like, it's so charming. And I don't really, I didn't really like Bradley Cooper very much. I'm not, I didn't hate him or anything. I was just like, but it's like, it's so charming. And I don't really, I didn't really like Bradley Cooper very much.

I didn't hate him or anything. I was just like, I had no feelings. But I mean, you know, Silver Line Playbook is fine. And I know what I mean. He's like, Stan, now he's Stan our French king. Yeah, I guess so. He's great. All I can say is find the interviewer Bradley Cooper

just started speaking fluent French. And if you could not, if you do not, we watched this at your birthday party. We're not 40 people. We watched it at my birthday party. It was literally like a circle of people who were all aghast and in love. It was like, it was maybe the most fascinating thing

that happened at the party. And it was a good party. Yeah, it was a thank you. Thank you. We had to stop. This is the party where Zalda was like, what she planned the party. And Laura's like, what kind of food? What kind of food should we have at the party. And Laura was like, what kind of food?

What kind of food should we have at the party? And she was like, where's Daddy from? Jewish? She's like, let's have Jewish food. It's like, listen, dude, you're Jewish too, all right? You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it. You're gonna own it. You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it.

You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it. You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it. You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it. You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it. You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it. You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it. You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it. You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it. You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it. You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it. You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it. You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it. You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it. You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it. You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it. You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it. You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it. You're gonna eat this fucking lock and you're gonna own it. She's like, we had piles of bagels for this Jew on her TikTok. All right. Go on, in other news.

Even more Amazon news. Amazon is building a streaming gaming platform that like Netflix. Sorry, but on all their fires. Thank you next, as they say. We just have some emulation on fire sticks. We just have this kind of fire stick is a pretty capable emulation device I will say if you are all interested in emulation Yeah, go to YouTube. Oh really? Look it can do dreamcast

Oh really? Oh what? PlayStation it can't be told me about this one by error around with fire Why am I fucking around with all those other bullshit? It is a really nice emulation station and it can pair with Bluetooth controllers Yeah, that's great. They're just Android apps though Aren't they? They're just Android emulators. Mm-hmm. Absolutely. Oh sure. Yeah fine side loaded. Yeah, okay Yeah, you can side load but it's an Android phone. It's an Android phone Yeah, yeah, Android phones are great. I recommend yeah, the OnePlus 6T is a lovely You love it if only the if only the camera were a little bit better

Well actually installed gcam and it's I'll little bit better. I actually installed G-Camp and it's... I'll tell you something. I'm gonna tell you something, man. Once you get off that iMessage, once you stop hitting that iMessage pipe, I'm chasing the iMessage dragon. Yeah. Once you stop trying to get your next hit, you know, giant emoji, use your whole world changes.

Anyhow. So yeah, Amazon's gonna make a emulation. emoji, use your whole world changes anyhow. So yeah, Amazon's gonna make a emulation. Yeah, it's gonna be like an Xbox controller and then it's gonna like stream games to you. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I don't think the hardcore gamer's gonna go for it. That's my feeling. No, our hardcore gamers are not going for this,

but I will say my little brother really wanted to play Red Dead Redemption 2. He has an old Xbox One. We ended up getting a copy of it for that. But he was like, I don't really want to play it on this because it looks like shit. And so we were like, I was like, do I get him a Switch? Do I get him a PS2 just for this one game? Or a PS2? A PS4 for this one game? Yeah. What, how do I, but if it had been a $50 stick and he could play the one game he wants to play, that probably would have been what we did for Christmas I do think that there's something to the Wii idea of like there's accessibility for everybody here And I know coming into this next console generation. We're gonna get a lot of streaming stuff from the Xbox now

PlayStation now Xbox game pass whatever it is crowd and So I don't I don't know it might Amazon seems to show up in a space and be a forgettable product. And then after a while, you're watching movies on Prime and you're like, oh yeah, now this is a thing. Do you know what I mean?

I mean, vaguely. If they roll in a bunch of like 100 game titles are rolled in to their Prime subscription and they're AAA games from six months ago, but they're rolled in. And you already have a fire stick. Maybe you don't go buy it. You're like, well, it's available on prime. And then you're gaming.

Yeah, but one game. But you got it. But there's a whole licensing question there that Amazon has to grapple with. I mean, is there a lot of steam, epic games, GOG, all, humble, all these places end up with the same content. And they're all giving games away for free. And if your prime subscription is giving you a couple games for free, I mean, honestly, I guess you were like, slightly older games. Yeah, I mean, if they threw on Red Dead in six months and it was free available and you already

have a fire device and you compare it Xbox One controller, you already have with it over Bluetooth. Yeah. I mean, they've kind of got something there and it's a little scary, but a little bit like great. It sounds a little complicated. It needs to be simpler. Yeah, I mean, it is slightly complicated, but I do think like there, it's not to be discounted. I mean, looking at Netflix and Bandersnatch,

if Netflix opened a gaming section and even if it was older games, like a bunch of like fucking mega drive and like turbo graphics team things. Nobody wants that, except for you and me. But is it just us? Because a lot of those games, a lot of that stuff sells on the like app store.

I don't know, I'm just asking the questions here. Okay, I'm a journalist, and I'm just asking the question. I Okay, I'm a journalist and I'm just asking the question. I do actually think there's something interesting there. And Amazon already has kind of a huge gaming footprint with Twitch, so I don't know. I thought it was a weird news story and I was like, oh shit, Amazon's gonna get into gaming

and they're gonna make the, what is it called? The Mad Box? Amazon's gonna make the Mad Box. Yeah, the Mad Box from Jeff Bezos and it's 60 FPS per eye. It's like, it's 60 sex per minute is what it is. Self-hunts is mad, isn't it? 66, 66 per second. It's as triple S. You log on for Red Dead Red and it's a cowboys saying hello. I said there. I got well. I want to smell you I want to smell you. I want to feel you with my eyes with my hands. You're like a castle play this. It's free Yeah, it's very good. It's very good shit at any rate. Listen fine

Maybe they'll do a box and maybe people will like it. I just think like you're kind of locked in the hardcore gamers are locked in You know Mm-hmm. What are they gonna do? I mean, what are they gonna do? I mean, the way the hardcore players are on PS4 pros or PC. That's really where it's at right now. Yeah, I don't know, PC. I just want to think about busting out my PC to play games. I'm just like, the keyboard.

I gotta go. I gotta leave the safety of my living room. Well, that's why I was talking about earlier. The Oculus Quest is the first product that might actually make a dent with locals and normies because you don't need to have a PS4 with an additional purchase. You don't need to have a PC.

The worst thing I could tell my parents is that they have to use their computer to do something. Yeah, tell me about it. That's how I feel, frankly, if you know I'm saying. All right, in other news, do you want to talk about this jELAPNIC piece from today? JALADO, I love it. It's creamy, it's smooth, it's very fatty,

but sometimes you just gotta go for it. You know there's eggs in there? Do you know there's eggs in there? Eggs, is it French? Sounds Italian actually. Let's ask B-Coup. Yeah, let's Bradley Cooper do. He's like, actually I speak Italian as well.

He's like, I invented JALADO. He said, I'll never make a diss track. I don't need, can. He said, I'll never make a diss track. I don't need to be, can I, I will never make a diss track. Can I be honest with you? I don't wanna talk about the geloptic story. I have little to no interest in the geloptic story, except if you wanna talk about,

I'll listen to you talk about it and then maybe have some reaction. I don't know if it's there. All right, well, we didn't talk about all of these. We just have a shutdown. Well, that's what talk about all of these. We just have a shutdown. Well, that's what I'm coming up on. Oh, wow.

Check you out. Got every major network to air a half hour of him asking people to log on to his go fund to me for his campaign. I'm sorry. Can we first of all do that? Happens. I didn't watch it. The ratings were lower.

He basically restated his talking points, but it was a giant fun raising push for his re-election campaign. I think here's a couple of important things to note. One, the fucking networks are Trump's bitches. No, that's not a nice thing to say. I'm not sure what you call them now. What do you say about the, what do you say about people who can't say no to this guy?

What are they? Chodes? Whatever. The networks are, the networks are somehow lassoed to Trump and cannot say no to him. And they should have said, you know what, buddy? We don't do this for other presidents. We're not gonna do it for you.

There's no national emergency. There's no crisis. You're a baby who can't get what he wants and you wanna try to get other babies on your side. And so every network should have said no, that's the first thing. He doesn't just get to have an address in prime time because he asks for it. And no president has been given that. And so I don't know why it's happening.

But number two is like, the whole thing was essentially meaningless. He had nothing to add except the same bullshit he's been talking about for the last, for his entire existence. His ratings, apparently the ratings for his thing were lower than the ratings for Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, who also did a bad job, but like, well, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, my parents who are disappointed. Yeah, but, but, but I will say this, I will say at least Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, who said you're going to, you're going to bed with no dinner, young man. Yeah, no, to America.

But everybody, and by the way, listen, I get everybody's like, everybody's like dunking on, on Nancy Pelosi and, you know, they all, all the socialists are likeing on Nancy Pelosi. And they all the socialists are like, fuck Nancy Pelosi. But, you know, she is like, she's like seeing a lot of the right things right now. Like I just saw this tweet from somebody, Nancy Pelosi to Republicans, this is just recently. I mean, she's saying a couple not right things,

but she's not forgetting the right way more than she's getting it wrong. Okay, there's no comparison. Here's the thing, here's the thing to all of the, all the Chappos and all the socialists. You can spend the next, we talk about Chappos so much.

I know, it's because they're, it's because they're fucking annoying. You can spend the next two years fighting with each other or you can figure out how to fucking take control of the government again in some capacity. And like if the people who are going to be the Bernie stands for the next two years are working against the majority of Democrats, that they just are. It's just a fact.

The majority of Democrats are not Chapa Chappell listeners as much as they wish, their Patreon wishes it were so. The majority of Democrats, there's a lot of Democrats who aren't going to be like, do not need the most radical version of a Democrat in the world. What they need is a non-Donald Trump version of something. And like, that's what most people need. And like Nancy Pelosi, you can talk all the shit you want about Nancy Pelosi.

She's a career politician, like most of the other people who are in politics right now. Like Alexandria Ocasia Cortez will be in 10 years. She will be a career politician who has lost the perfection that you now feel about her and has lost some of her socialist vibes and has had to compromise because that's how politics works. You don't get all the things you want

because you think it'd be cool to have them. If that was the case, the Republicans could have gotten their wall at any rate. Donald Trump could have gotten his wall when Republicans control the government. Nancy Pelosi just said, apparently this was about 10 hours ago. I don't know. We're saying to them, take yes for an answer. This is what you propose. Why are you rejecting it the expense of the American people?

Did you take an oath to the Constitution or an oath to Donald Trump, which I got to say is some good shit. And I respect. She's got some great, she's got some great. I don't care. I'm not a Nancy Pelosi stand. I hear a thing, I don't give a fuck. Everyone wants to get upset about who is,

whether Nancy Pelosi has a voice or not. It's like, I'm upset about the fact that you guys can't fucking agree to get together and form a plan and acknowledge that like not all the Democratic parties going to be radicalized overnight. No, I think it's like fucking socialists. It's like I'm a, I'm a, I'm a big socialist in the world, but like I'm also a human being who lives in reality.

And like I'm all for dreaming the big dreams, but you also have to understand that like you can't push that voter up the hill instantaneously. I think listen, do I agree with everything you said or like 99% absolutely? I do think my issue with what, how all this played out on top of the fact that, of course, Trump should not have been given a half hour of network time. Of course, this was a giant fucking loadable shit. Of course it was. It's Donald Trump. But I do think the Democrats missed a big opportunity because the clips that went viral the next

day, or at least the ones that got people impassioned and stuff, were not of Chuck and Nancy being like, this was silly. And behind their one podium looking, you know, like crypt keepers, it was Alexandra Akasio Cortez. Unfortunately, siloed over on Mato, and it didn't need to be her. It doesn't need to be AOC, the hot young, uh, upstart, whatever. She's great. But she was fucking on fire.

She was great. She was saying exactly what needed to be said. She said it in the tone that everyone is feeling. She cut through the bullshit and said exactly what needed to be said in 90 seconds, and a clip that could be posted everywhere. And it was both a complete, a complete shutdown of everything that Trump has to say, no pun intended, a complete rebuttal, a new direction, a new voice. It had passion. It was, it spoke to the people the way that they speak. It was, it was everything I would have wanted as a response, and they should have just had her go up and do it instead of Chuck and Nancy or anyone in that position. But she's not the one she's not.

They should have had Kamala Harris. Yeah, but there's a hierarchy, you know. But they, but at this point, I don't, I don't think, I don't see the value in it. And I think they should pick one. They should have picked one person. Should have been Chuck or Nancy had been on both. No, they should have stuck a Kamala Harris or AOC or someone up there and said, yeah, but I'm going to talk to you for two minutes because I do not believe in wasting the American public. You're safer than the president already

did. You're sure there's a hierarchy to it, right? It's like the highest ranking down. Oh yeah, but I don't think that they I don't think they needed to do that. I don think that i think they did i think they did i mean i think you can't i think you can have like a mid-level democrat respond to the president you could have had nancy pullosie got there and say hello welcome uh... i'm i would like to welcome to the stage kamaul a harris who is a few words uh... in response on behalf of myself and the democratic i think you have to understand the way that that would play out optically as people be like why is why is, I mean, most there would be, yes, there'd be some people who would be pumped up by the words of that person who's speaking.

But there'd be a lot of people who are like, why didn't the highest ranking Democrats speak in response on this? Like why weren't, why wasn't, I'm speaking in solutions when I should be speaking in what I think the problem is. I think the problem with what they did and in general with what the Democrats are doing is twofold. One, they do not sound as impassioned and furious most of the time as most of us feel even if what they're saying is correct and in text form it's great.

They are too buttoned up and they have too much self control and they're to speak to how we're feeling. And also they are not Obama during a government shutdown would have been and Trump isn't doing this either, which is great for us, but we should be doing it would have been out with people who are who aren't being paid doing public appearances with them and explaining their stories and connecting with actual people, explaining how real human beings in this country are being affected by what Trump is doing and doing it with real human lives on the line and the way that their credit scores are being affected, their homes are being affected, their ability to get health care is being affected.

And Chuck and Nancy talking in their like expensive suits, very calmly about why this is stupid is fine. But what I really needed to see is a human connection, whether that be a passionate person who really is speaking the way I'm feeling. Yeah, I get a visual display of the actual human being. I think the idea is, I think the idea is that somebody speaks with conviction and gets people riled up when they speak. I don't think that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are necessarily the best at doing that. I do think that like,

hierarchically speaking, I don't know how optically, I'm not saying they couldn't do it. I think there's like some optical stuff that would be, I mean, there's a reason I'm not a political strategist. I'm just saying like, I don't know the real the reasons. I think there is an issue with, I think there is an issue with people feeling inspired by the leaders of their parties,

but I will say this. Sometimes people are not that inspiring, but are really smart and good at their jobs. Sure. Oh, absolutely. And like what we don't, what we actually need to last. But in that moment, your job was, I do believe that in that moment, their job was to be inspiring. But these, but the problem is, but the problem is that we're all caught up with, with like remembering what it felt like when Obama would give a speech. But like, the same people who were fired up at Obama giving speeches like Obama was a bad president who did drone strikes.

And it's like the reality of it is, you're not gonna get everything in one package. Like you're just not. And I think that you can have inspiring speeches and you can have competency. And sometimes those things go together. And sometimes they don't. I would really like to have competency more than anything right now. Donald Trump to his base,

if let's put it this way, put yourself in the shoes of a Republican, the quote, Hillary Clinton was competency and it didn't work. No, people hate Hillary Clinton. People hate Hillary Clinton. I mean, if you listen to people, if you listen to people talk about Hillary Clinton, it is a unnatural hatred for her. It's very bizarre. I mean, they should- I mean, I was dunked on for several days by if you get to her Twitter adjacent trolls, because when she was giving some speech,

I was like, I don't wanna listen to it because it's giving me anxiety, thinking that she could have done her job and this country didn't let her. And people were like, shitting on me for saying that. And I was like, I don't think this is a controversial statement. There was a lot of like yikes at that tweet. I think that I think people like are like Hillary Clinton hate her. They hate her. They do hate her. And partially they hate her because of her policies. Partially they hate her because of who she was married to. Yeah. And just like it's just a bit. But a lot of people really hate her

because she's a woman who's in power and has worked really hard to get to that position and Has done all the things that men do But has taken way more shit for it, but like I'm not I am not a Hillary Clinton stand And I've said this before I voted for Bernie in the primaries and if Bernie had been the candidate I would have been fine with that. I think I think there are a lot of policies that Bernie was speaking on that were much closer to my beliefs and to where my heart is in terms of where the party and the country should go.

But I also think that Hillary Clinton had plenty of good opinions and policies as well. And I can guarantee that any fucking one of them, any Democrat that was running, even the two people whose names I completely forget, the other people who were like, we might as well throw a few people in the primary so the hell of it would have done a better job than Donald Trump at running the country. But the fucking point is, I mean,

let's say I was listening to Howard's during the other day and somebody called him was like, I voted for Donald Trump, I didn't like him, I thought he was a buffoon, but I couldn't imagine voting for Hillary. And it's like, dude, that's crazy. You know, like, you didn't like him, I thought he was a buffoon but I couldn't imagine voting for Hillary and it's like, dude, that's crazy. You know, like, you hate her so much that you voted for somebody that you knew was stupid

and sucked, like, just, maybe just don't even vote, okay? Like, I don't even know what that motivation is there. Um, anyhow, what are we talking about? Listen, the point of all of this is. So mad right now. The brass tax, let's really get down to it into this spider verse One of golden globe and I and it showed when an Oscar Wow, I need to see it. I really need to see it. Is there a bit torn available?

Very very easy. Yeah, there's a very Candy cam HD cam footage if you want to watch it. I don't I won't fuck with that quarter I'll say I'll say this I won't I won't fuck the cam the cam videos I'm not into it. You're not into you're you're you don't you're not applying for a job at ring. No I won't I won't watch it. But hold on on the topic of the shutdown and anti Pelosi and and and Chuck Schumer I mean I agree I mean there's like classic old school fucking Democrats and like they're really annoying. But there's so much less stupid than Donald Trump. I'm sorry. Yeah, of course. There's so much less stupid. And like I understand that like

other people are more inspirational. But like we need to be less concerned with who inspires us and more concerned with like who can get the right shit done. And that's in the Nancy and Chuck are the perfect people. But they definitely will do more of the right things in my opinion than Donald Trump and his fucking coterie of maniacs. So I'm just saying, let's not, let's not dunk on them because we need them. Unfortunately right now. Okay. And let's find a way for all to connect all these things up instead of finding

a way to like shit on people who can help change the makeup of the government right now, which we need to do very dramatically. Let's put an Alexa in our sonos. All right. Well, there's nothing else to say about this shutdown except, yeah, fuck Trump. What have we said for the last two years? Please fucking vote. Anyway. Yeah, vote. Onto the main letter, you'll be, remember, the guy only won both 70,000 votes. I mean, you can blame that on Hillary or whatever,

but I mean, I blame it on people who are like, she's gonna win any, how I'm not gonna vote, or like, who cares, it does matter, they're both the same, or like, I'm voting for- I'm blaming on everybody. I'm blaming on people who did vote. I'm blaming on people who didn't vote. Blaming on Hillary.

I'm blaming it on Chapo. I'm blaming it on me. I'm blame it on you. Chappo's definitely to blame. For some part of it. Who's the other, those other people that ran the people voted for, the fucking idiots, like Jill Stein who's a vaccine denier, and the other guy who was like his only thing

he had going for is that he wants everybody to smoke weed. Yeah, they literally got, they got enough votes that if those votes have gone to the Democrat, there'd be a Democrat in office now. Yeah, all right. Well, let's do nice. Let's do the next thing, which is nice things. Let's go to nice things. Let's talk for a while.

No, too long, let's do it. I got some nice stuff. Number one, I'm ready. Last night, exhausted, had a wonderful, I left work yesterday, not for work relatedly reasons, don't worry, nobody on the outline listening to this worry. I left work yesterday in a really foul mood. I had just sort of had it with some stuff going on.

I worked? No, not at work. Okay. At non-work stuff going on and I left work yesterday in a pretty foul mood. And John had planned a surprise date night for me. Oh boy. And I met up with him. I hate surprises. I met up with him and found out that it was some kind night for me. Oh boy. And I met up with him. I hate surprises.

I met up with him and found out that it was some kind of physical activity. Oh God. We had to be on the L train from the west side, all the way into Brooklyn and I was just, he could tell, I could see he was sweating. He was like, oh no, the nights ruined. We got there, he took me to the shuffle board place

in Red Hook, which is this giant, like very Florida, like yacht club themed cruise ship style shuffleboard place with food trucks and great cocktails and amazing mid-2000s, like, a shanty music. And I have to say I left, we went to a creamery after that had the most delicious, mmm, ice cream I've ever had in my life. Jolato. Jolato. I've never make a diss track. I've never make a diss track. Absolutely left on Cloud 9 through World.

Had a wonderful, fluffle sandwich in a great mood. A hot hole. A lot of fluffles in my head. Opened Twitter within probably five minutes of being on Twitter. My mood had turned background. Again, for partially personal reasons, partially, just the behavior that Twitter feeds into both me and the people who receive my tweets, or the people whose tweets I receive. It is just so negative and ugly, and I don't know what purpose Twitter is serving in my life. I'm not saying anything that's additive to anyone's lives.

A lot of my jokes are just jokes someone else is gonna make anyway. So why do I need the internet points? And I feel like I'm constantly tweeting stuff that's either personal enough that it might be helpful for someone like me tweeting about my depression or something. But also opens me up to like random sub tweets and attacks based on someone's like mood. They've decided they want to dunk on me because I have a blue check mark. And I just realized that Twitter just, it's not, there's nothing I'm bringing to anybody through it at the moment, and there's nothing it's bringing to me.

So I just was like, let me deactivate this account for 24 hours and see how it feels. I gotta say, today felt great. Not part of any of the Misogas didn't see this latest round of Gagin Beam. Didn't have to talk about the Gelopnick piece. Didn't have to engage with Trump retweets, and then the reaction to Trump retweets, my day sailed along.

And so my nice thing is, if something is not serving you or you're not using it to serve somebody, step away. I'll be back on Twitter when I have something to promote, when I have a project, when our new thing we're doing together, the new thing we're doing together launches, or this video project on Workout launches, I'm gonna show up and I'll have something to give. But right now, I am so, and I've, like, deactivated Twitter and a huff before.

This is probably the first time that I'm truly like in a great place with it, and I am thrilled. So go to twitter.com slash rinewholehan and see that that account does not exist, and it's great. So it's not even, I came in access it. Nope, it's great. Love it.

Next nice thing. I've known about this for a while and I've definitely done this myself for a few years, but there have been a round of pieces about how on YouTube there are old home video recordings of ride-throughs of old Disney rides that have since been dismantled. And you can at any time open YouTube and type in any Disney ride that has ever existed and someone has done a beautiful ride through and the highest quality home video version that existed at the time and you can ride any Disney ride in history and have a lovely four-minute experience. I encourage you to go

there and dial up some 80s Epoch rides and get yourself to a beautiful zone of just pure joy. Wow. I really love that that exists as an archive. I can't wait till we create VR versions using some kind of AI that Jeff Bezos developed to create a live girls. Next nice thing, last nice thing is I am an hour grownup who's doing his own repairs on things,

which is a thing that for a long time, like my Wii U gamepad broke and I was like, I don't want to buy another gamepad for the four games I played on Wii U. I'm never playing with this again, it doesn't work. And then I realized, oh, it's $20 and two screwdrivers and I could get this done in five minutes and replace it myself. I don't know why I was scared of doing that. I modded my switch, got a sweet atomic purple case mod, it's translucent as hell, I feel

fire. And I've just started doing repairs around my house. Got a sweet atomic purple case mod. It's translucent as hell. I feel fire And I've just started doing repairs around my house. I built my own shelving use unit in my bedroom and listen Am I a lesbian now? Maybe I have taken off control of my life via a toolset after hearing you talk about tool sets for a while I'm making small. I like being a grown-up and I'm fixing all my own shit. I fixed a fan I fixed a bunch of stuff around this apartment and it feels great. I encourage anybody to buy some tools and have a good time. I agree.

That's my nice stuff. I'm a big fan of tools. I'm like Tim Allen. I've made this joke before. Don't care about the band, love the object. No, it's great stuff. I think those are great. Is that it?

You don't idea more. That's it. Those are my nice things for the last 70s. It's really good. Everything else sucks. I'm gonna get less. One of my, I had something. Now I've got a, also the free beer at WeWork.

I understand we did a piece about how there's some Misha Goss happening in the UK with this free beer, but I gotta say we moved into a We work and the tabs start flowing at like 4.30 and it's lit. Oh, yeah. Okay, so my at least one good thing is I have, so I got an audible subscription. I've talked, I think I've said this before about like listening to books or just reading books or whatever. I just finished bad blood, which I know I talked about and I maybe was a good thing a few

weeks ago. But I, for a while, okay, so do you know that you also came to the office in Elizabeth Holmes cosplay? The other day? Okay, I accidentally wore like a Steve Jobs outfit the other day, it was completely by accident. I ripped the jeans that I normally wear,

I completely like blew out the crotch in them because they're like, you know, five year old. You got such a powerful piece out of it. Yeah, no, I's like, just stepping into my car and it like, the crotch seam separated, which always happens to like, salvage jeans after like several years of wearing them. But, no, I, I, oh no wait, now you've got me off track completely.

What was I talking about? You were talking about? Oh, bad blood, right, so audible, right. So, I, okay, so you know that, you blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah and the Princess and the Warrior, and he did this like crazy movie. It's like the biggest budget, like European film of all time or something. Anyhow, whatever, it's based on a book by David Mitchell. And David Mitchell has written some pretty well-known, you know, he's like a, he's a proper author.

He's written a lot of books. He, anyhow, he's written all these books and then he wrote something recently after Cloud Atlas and I think it's called the Bone Clocks. And everybody's like, oh, it's like he's been, we didn't realize until now, but this is all like part of a shared universe. I actually have an addendum to this like a secondary good thing that I want to talk about. But like, I was like, oh, that's really fucking interesting to me. So I started to go back and I wanted to read his books

from the beginning. So I started reading this book called Ghost Written and then I like, like everything, like every book that I pick up, I, you know, I got to like, you know, halfway through and something happened in my life where I just like couldn't, I didn't finish it, you know? And it's like, considering next to my bed, I've even started other books,

it's just sitting there and it's like, for some reason I just couldn't get through it. Anyway, so I started, I started listening to it using my audible account. And so I'm excited that I'm actually going to my new thing is I'm actually going to either listen to and or read all of his books in order because I really want to see how they're connected. Although I'm a little bummed to have like learned about it, having not read them. And now I know, so going into it, I'm going to be looking for it. You're special. Yeah, I'm not like, oh my God, I've let me read these books for 20 years

and they're all connected. So like, well, it's lost. They're on the island. Yeah, anyhow, but it's a brilliant, it's unbelievable. It's this first novel, this book goes written. And it's like, it's like the writing's so good. You really read or listen to in my case, somebody's writing and you're like, you know, it's like, you're like, wow, this is like what really good writing sounds like. Like there's lots of books, there's lots of writing, there's lots of content. I mean, the internet is filled with content.

And some of the content's really good. But like, there's lots of writing, there's lots of content, I mean, the internet is filled with content, and some of the content's really good, but like, it's rare to read, it's honestly very rare to read something where you're like, this person is a fucking, a master of the craft. Anyhow, so that's something I'm doing. So on that note, separate, separately, but connected. Okay, this is, I stumbled on this onion article, which I have to say, a lot of onion stories are like,

the very funny headline, then you start reading them and you're like, yeah, it was a pretty funny headline, but I'm not gonna finish this article. Yeah, the joke is in the headline. This one is, the joke's in the headline, and then the article is like, delivers 100% 1000 fold. A thousand fold on the premise.

So the headline is, France's four couple of reveals every Godfather film took place in the same narrative world. And it's like, it's like, sorry, let me just, it's really,

it's really, really great. It's really great. It's like, it's so, it's written so dryly and so perfectly, like, to the way that these pieces are read. Let me just read you a, let me just read you. It also, like, quotes, quotes Coppola, like, quite a bit.

So let me read you some of, just, I want to read a little bit of it. This is a quote. Observing fans sometimes point out that a character named Michael Corleone appears in all three movies that he's played by Al Pacino each time and I can assure you That's no coincidence said Coppola Who noted that quote all the puzzle pieces are there for anyone who looks hard enough at the three-motion pictures In fact, those aren't three different people but rather one character who appears three times Michael in New York in the first film Michael and Lake Tahoe in the second one then Michael back a man hat in the third

They're the very same man. It's like it's so basically all the people with the last name Corleone who appear in the film are supposed to be related to each other. Said Copa over calling out during production. He actually took the time to painstakingly map out the entire fictitious Corleone family tree that runs through all three projects. No, it's amazing. There's there's there a, I did a similar thing having Carlos death in the Godfather carry over into the next two films, Copa, like continued. You'll notice he doesn't show up at any of the others. That's because he's still dead in this one continuous storyline.

Meanwhile, Conius' widow, which is me kind of winking at the opening wedding scene with her and Carlos from the first film. It's subtle, but once you pick up on a detail like this, you'll start to notice many other little connections. It's like, yeah, sorry. It's just, but once you pick up on a detail like this, you'll start to notice many other little connections. It's like, yeah, sorry, it's just so fucking great, because we live in a world now where everybody's like, the Marvel expanded universe or whatever, you know? And it's like, it's like, oh,

did you notice this thing in Ant-Man actually is, because Ant-Man is doing this in the first Avengers movie. And it's like, okay, great, like, it's all connected. This is just like perfectly encapsulates the fucking dumb nerd shit and the ways that like people and films talk about it. It's just perfect. It's just really, really good.

It's like a roast of cinema sin culture. They should get too carried away though and look for elements of the Godfather and other movies I worked on, continued Coppola, confirming that the Godfather storyline is only limited to the three films with Godfather in their name. For example Apocalypse Now is a film I made that's not part of the Godfather universe. Which I tried to emphasize by not having Robert DuVolk's character Bill Kilgore mentioned

the Mafia just like Tom Hague and never mentions Vietnam. I was very careful about that. I know. It's so good. It's so good because it's perfect. It's like perfect how, that this is exactly how directors who think they're being really clever might get actually things. Everyone thinks that you're like,

I don't know, like, see Brain. But like you're making a superhero movie. Right, no, exactly. It's like, it's definitely like Galaxy Brain level. Anyhow, okay, that's it. I think that's it for my nice things. I don't have a lot of nice things. My, I'm very boring. I'm a very boring guy. I do very little in life.

I just, you know, I go, I- You've perfected your life. I wake up, you know, I make great content. I help people make great content. You jump into your pants too late. I slide into it. I slide down my contraption I created for getting to my clue. I don't want to go through it again. Goalberg device. I don't want to go through it again. Goalberg device. I don't want to go through it again, but when I start the day,

I'm in constant motion from the second I slide into my pants and then hurdle through my kitchen and catch my hard boiled eggs in mid-air. I'm in motion and I'm doing what I do. And it's like a well-oiled machine. And in fact, the machine is actually well oiled. I have several oil maintenance people who oil it on a weekly basis.

So, you know, so that's it for me. You know, that's who I am. And any deviation from that wouldn't be a nice thing. It wouldn't be a nice thing. It would be a nice thing. So the machine would malfunction also, any deviation, even a slight one or two degrees variation cause a huge malfunction.

So, it's a breeze to rail the whole stuff. That's right, which is why I have to think about my weight constantly because any major variance in my body weight could send the machine hurtling through my home and frankly, through a pretty good part of northern New York. So, it's important that we keep it in check. Anyhow, all right, we should wrap up. I'm thinking at this point, I gotta get a drink in me. If I don't, the machine is gonna get angry.

And by machine, I mean my body and brain. So, you know, look, we did it again, and it was a great time. And I gotta say, Ryan, keep delivering the goods. And by goods, I mean you're nice things, which you have so many of, I find, I'm starting to find them, frankly, and only shocking for a depressed person. Well, that is our show for this week, we'll be back next week with more tomorrow and

as always I wish you and your family the very best though I've just received word that your family CES award has also been revoked for exactly the same reasons as the sex toy. you
