Hey and welcome to Tomorrow, I'm your host Josh with Taboski. Today on the podcast we discuss writing credit, short stories, and peckers. I don't want to waste one minute. Let's get right into it. Well Ryan, we're back after a brief and frankly disturbing hiatus. On unexpected unexpected hiatus. I can't believe that us mean you. Yeah. We don't expect to hiatus.

People don't know this, but I'm going to tell them I got a, there was a, some kind of stomach bug going around last week and I unexpectedly fell victim to said stomach bug. And it prevented my ability to deliver a podcast free of vomiting and explosive diarrhea. Well, I mean, normally we deliver one filled with that. Well, yeah, but this one would have been a little too 4D, you know, one choke over the line, as they say. At any rate, we're back now, and it's the 150th episode of tomorrow. And we have so much planned.

I think you know what that means. I think you know what that is. That's a big 150 too many episodes in the spot. It's a big, it's 149 to bed. episodes of the spot. It's a big it's 149 to Betty. Um, well, see if you can spot the one truly great episode of tomorrow. Well, I'll tell I would like to hear from the from the listener. Next week, you tell me what you what you think I think is the best episode of tomorrow ever. We should talk about what's going on in the world because there's a lot to talk about. We should talk about what's going on in the world because there's a lot to talk about.

There's a lot to say, there's a lot of things going on. A lot of people. Wip it around the sun. I don't like it one bit. I think we're talking about stock. Can we talk about Bezos? The complexifier of my day, yes.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I know there's a lot of hate for Jeff Bezos out there, but you gotta hand it to this guy. I mean, there's some right here. Dude is living, the dude is living like a, like a George Clooney dramatic film. Yeah. This is like a, this is like that movie

where they kidnapped the kids and they're like, they want the ransom and the guys, I'm not gonna give them the ransom I'm gonna go find them Or something I think that's a movie with Mel Gibson I think I can be wrong. No the Jeff Bezos move is to be like I don't care about those kids. Bye He's like no like the Jeff Bezos movies. He kills the kids himself. Yeah, he's like No, so I don't know if everybody knows what's happened, but the national inquire attempted to essentially blackmail Jeff Bezos into like calling

off an investigation into how he his texts and apparently sex his visual sex also knows dick pics got leaked to the national inquire and and they launched some kind of insane scheme where they're like, oh, if you back off of your investigation, we will not publish these pictures, which is, you know, essentially, I guess, extortion. Yeah, it's blackmail. Blackmail and extortion, I think it's a little both, actually. Anyhow, so Jeff Bezos went on medium of all places and was like, yo, there's dick picks,

they have dick picks of me and I'm not going to cop to their bullshit because they got back. I love that he went to medium. He owns the entire internet and the Washington Post. I think physical paper. I think this is medium. Like the one thing that I know medium is for is like, what he's seeking to launch like Jeff Bezos dot com, you know, like you can't put it on the Washington Post because then

it's like so glad he didn't tweet. So glad he didn't tweet. You can't tweet. you can't it's not going on Facebook you know what's the platform if you're like I just got to say something I don't talk that much in public like I'm not like writing blogs all the time he be on it says one a one episode podcast where he just explains you know what publish the dick pics I don't give a shit. No, dude, it's bold.

He's basically like, look, they have these photos. They're using them against me. And if I can't stand up to this kind of shit, who can? And you know, I guess whatever you want to say about the dude, you cannot deny that it's a dope move. It's a bold move. And it's the right move. I have two things to say. One, really admire him for one time leaving money on the table

and not releasing this as a Kindle single. Two. Wow, okay. Two, however will this billionaire who owns the entire world get over the fact that we might see his dick. I say that as a browse grinder. Like, he's gonna be fine. I get, so a couple of things come to mind. And one is like, he's got to feel pretty good about whatever's in the pictures. I mean, I feel like, I feel like,

if it were like, I feel like, you know, he probably got some outside, you know. Yeah. If he's got a choked situation or like a micro dick, that's, I think, I think Bezos is, you know, he's not a big guy, but he might be packing. And I think he's, the smaller he is, the bigger the piece looks, it's the Harrison.

That's so right, that's exactly, that's why I've been trying to shrink, actually. I'm working on the shrinking ray too. No, but so, you know, it's a bold move. It is bold move. But it is also like, yeah, I mean, for a little bit proud of Prime Daddy. He needs to pay his workers more, but this was good. Look, this is not about his business practices.

I mean, it is to some degree. I love the best part of it. It's like, he's like, they're gonna release them to, I guess like, try to say that I can't manage the business. And he's like, well, here's like he's like I started this in my garage And it's like the most valuable company in the world. So I'll let the results be speak for themselves He's like, yeah, I'm bad at managing the business That's what you're gonna get me out of it. People blackmailing me have primed now subscriptions. So yeah But so anyhow, so so it's

So you know, it's a pretty lit situation over there at Bezos' house in Bezos' house. But anyhow, it's just a crazy situation. One of the houses. What's really crazy, one of his hundreds, every 100, what's really crazy is that it actually, all like, I mean, in essence, there is a thread here that like this is

do being done either, I mean, there is a thread here that like this is being done either, I mean, there is a thread here to read into this that this is either being done for Trump because Trump doesn't like the way the Washington Post has been covering him or at the request of Trump. It's certainly being done. There is like, you know, he basically says it's like politically motivated. And, um, yeah, it's absolutely some time for some game theory. Because yeah, time for some game theory. The game theory is I don't know if it's a theory. It's like, he says it.

It's fucked up. I mean, we're, I mean, the national choirs like this is like, they're dirty as fuck. Oh, yeah, they have blood, like, not just on their hands. Like, they're printing their little, what, newspaper, their little, uh, they have blood, like not just on their hands, like they're printing their little little newspaper, their little supermarket newspapers in blood. I mean, the plate is- It's so beyond like, you know, whatever this shit is with like, you know, celebrity, you know, celebrity, somebody got fat, somebody's dying, whatever, like that stuff's like

normal, horrible. Normal, horrible. This is like I Don't know man. I think they fucked with the wrong person Yeah, the thing is too like that he's not the one like you Like as Cardi B said he will dog walk you like this is not the guy This isn't the guy. He's not he is not the man with whom to fuck and yeah That's it. I think they're gonna find out the hard way. It's like dude. He's not the man with whom to fuck. And that's it.

I think they're gonna find out the hardware. It's like, dude, he could make it literally if he wanted to. His life's work to destroy the national choir and fucking do it. And Pecker, Pecker at the actual choir. David Pecker. I'll say this, I gotta give it to,

at least the first place I saw it, I think the first two actually have it. Huff Post had the headline, Bayzo's Exposes Pecker. And I mean, just, I have to say, and I thought a lot about it, I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about it. I just don't think that like in terms of the actual content

of the story and the players involved, you cannot get a bit, there is no better headline. You know what, I just want to give it up to the staff writer's room of Earth because, you know, a lot of the times we got a lot of corny stuff going on here, but this is a subplot I can get into. I mean, honestly, I was going through so many possible alternates like pecker caught and abined. Pecker caught red handed, which doesn't make sense, but it's like sounds right, you know?

You know, you know, pecker snatched and I don't know, something like that. I don't know. You know, it's hard. It's hard. It tries to prime Pecker for exposure. Oh, wow. Well, I don't know. Bezos, Bezos' prime's Pecker.

It's interesting. I mean, it's not, that's not terrible, but doesn't really make any sense. I mean, there's a reason I'm not a headliner writer at Half Poe I guess. That's right. And it's because your headlines are not good. No, you're a very talented man.

Maybe headlines aren't your strong suit. At any rate, so that's the baseless thing. It's unfolding, continues to unfurl and unfold, and we'll see what happens. Right out of his swim trunks. Yeah, wow. Okay. Yeah, and also, we already know he's getting divorced.

It's not as if this was going to ruin his marriage. I mean, we don't know the, I'm not trying to defend anybody or whatever. We do not know the circumstances of this situation at all. We don't know what he's like. I mean, yeah, his personal life is his personal life. I truly like, I have no side-eyed for that. I mean, no, it's like, and by the way,

I don't, if there is reason to believe that somehow he's being irresponsible, like, that's a business issue and a business problem, and like, that's for his board to deal with, I don't think any of this has real news value. He's a public figure, and I guess like, you could, there's a stretch to say, like, well, he's a public figure there for like who he foxes important, but I do think it's a stretch. I do think even for Jeff Bezos, who he's having sex with, is like, not really anybody's concerned with Jeff's. Also, all of this,

in defense of Donald Trump, who has like, oh, much, much worse personal life is. Yeah, oh no. I mean, literally, he's literally paying people off who he, like, had extra marital affairs with, paying them off on the campaign trail for president

and is now president. And we're like, Jeff Bezos, and his wife have separated. And he's got a new girlfriend. It's like, okay. Jeff Bezos took a picture of his penis one time. It's just like that. I don't, there isn't even a legit scandal here yet

as far as we know. I mean, all this tells me is not to buy one of those Amazon phones. And I'm glad they don't sell them anymore. They don't. And they were really bad and dumb. And security issues. So I think, I think we're okay there.

At any rate, what else is going on the news? Well, speaking of security issues. Yes. The most privacy conscious company in the world who took out a billboard outside of CES to say we love privacy, had a FaceTime bug that let people just listen to whatever you did. This is exactly why I only let my daughter

and wife use FaceTime. And they do love, and they do love, and Mizzada does love FaceTime. And it is great. FaceTime's great. It's unfortunate. Can you tell people love FaceTime? It's, they do.

I'll tell you what, fucks me up is when I see you walking around. Oh no, oh no. I'll tell you what fucks me up is when I see you walking around. Oh no, oh no. I was walking around. People are going into the subway. I was like, you're not gonna have the service for this. And there's nothing down here to see. You know what I'm talking about?

Like they're walking around, like out there, you know, doing FaceTime. It's like, I don't know. That seems weird. Maybe it's cool. Maybe that's cool now. At any rate. You see in all the time? Yeah. So whatever, whatever apples fix in a 14 year old discovered the bug.

And they're paying them. You know, what's the problem? What's the problem? You know, they, they fucked up. You know, apples got bigger problems in my opinion. Like the FaceTime thing is a problem. And it is like one of those like, you know, people in the last house. It's also like you remember the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, like, the most like severe, like invasion of privacy ever for

celebrities for, like, email celebrities. That's like an iCloud hack. So I don't think Apple's like, has been that great. I mean, they're like, we don't use your data to do x, y, and Z is like, all right, but like, you're not perfect. Yeah. Like, I don't know, you made your, in my opinion, you made your phones less secure

with Face ID. Like, I don't know, fucking hate. I mean, they were the ones that had that bug that you could send someone a single emoji over. All right, that's such a crash their home. That's what I've meant. That's actually what I've been spending while I was off for a week.

I was actually crashing people's phones. Pretty tight situation. I don't know what to say about Apple. You know, they've had a rough couple of months and the FaceTime bug doesn't help. And you know, when I get into game streaming, along with video streaming and Microsoft just announced

that Xbox Live is coming to iOS and Android and the Switch, which I don't know how that's gonna work. Does that mean that I will be able to stream Xbox games on my Switch? No, I think it means you'll be able to sign in and get achievements. That's not interesting to me.

And use their multiplayer, I guess. That doesn't help me at all. No, that's not helping me. I need real help. Professional help. I need professional help. Someone help me out. Yeah, how we're getting into game streaming is odd. I just feel like we're the whole gaming

industry is about to look like the 90s because it's going to be like every company is going to release a box that streams. They're all going to be slightly different, but all the same. I think what's really interesting with Apple is like not to talk too much about Apple, but I just see them getting squeezed out in all these interesting ways of things that they should be much better at or much more in the center of. The whole TV thing is like, I don't think they've sold that many Apple TVs. I mean, I don't know how many there are out there, but I'm sure there's a decent amount. You know, it's like, I mean a lot of TV's were there for them to do.

And I eye pod touch That was sort of like the switch an Apple TV that could play games But also like was had delivered you the best video content the best way with exclusive content Like they're the pieces have all been there for a long time They just seem like scared to pull the trigger in a way that like Doesn't look like a really dumb casual like well, they can't really I mean listen I they're whole ecos they're whole like video ecosystems is a total shit show.

I mean, like try buying something on your Apple TV and then putting it on your child's iPad. That is like, it is like a, it's an crazy exercise. Like, it's so poorly implemented. Just like the whole, like I literally bought some stuff on Amazon recently because it was just simply easier to watch it on the iPad

than to buy things on iTunes. I mean, I only buy movies on like Google Play slash YouTube because YouTube is on everything and I'll know that I'll be able to stream it. No, it's fucking, it's fucking crazy. Background deal where like it'll just show up and other services because of some like weird, like I forget what it's called.

It's not ultraviolet because it's closing. But there's some like service that like DVD anywhere or something that it just kind of shows up in some other places. So I'm like, all right, this is how I'm doing this. I would never purchase a movie through the iTunes store in the year 2019. Yeah, no, I will, I have because I'm very lazy.

And so I'm like sitting there and I'm like, oh, all right, fine. So I own a lot of movies on iTunes and I regret it. I'm very lazy and so I'm like sitting there. I'm like, uh, all right fine So I own a lot of movies on iTunes and I regret it I regret all of it because they're like basically not transportable in any way shape or form like Any other service makes them readily available wherever I want them Like if you buy a movie on Google Play it's in your YouTube account I can watch it on my PS4 or my Xbox. Yeah, yes, which right? I could know Amazon Amazon the same way you buy it on Amazon And it's

wherever there's an Amazon app, which is literally everything. And and and yeah, no, it's crazy. It's like no, but that's the thing. I mean, you know, this is not to go down a rabbit hole, but it's like, you know, PS4 and basically has the same shit that iTunes has. The Xbox basically has the same shit in their store. But they also offer live TV. PS4 has PlayStation View. They have a live TV package, which is definitely better integrated. And I have Direct TV now, which is an app, and it is the worst app.

I mean, it is so poorly designed. And so it's like that. I mean, it's AT&T, right? So like, there you go. Yeah, it's like, well, it's actually well, it's Direct TV, I guess, yeah, AT&T. But the code is bad. It's like, it crashes. It doesn't work. It's AT&T, right? So, like, there you go. It's like, well, it's actually, well, it's direct TV, I guess, yeah, AT&T. But like, the code is bad. It's like, it crashes.

It doesn't work. It's buggy. And I think, by the way, it's not out of the realm of possibility to imagine that they are purposely making the app bad because they want people to be like, God, my cable experience was like a lot better than this. You know? So, you know, I think you really can't, I mean,

it's to get people who aren't used to having cable into having live cable. And then once they have it, they're like, this is terrible. And they're like, you know what's good. Put a satellite on your roof. Yeah, no, I mean, it's interesting to see it unfold because it actually really is a very poor,

it's a very poor substitute for, I mean, it worked. It basically works, but works, it basically works, but like simple things like I wanna fast forward through stuff or rewind stuff, it just doesn't work that well. It's like fucking buggy. I got sent one of those Kavas that we talked about months ago and I don't have like a logitech harmony or something,

so that end of it, like just as a universal remote, I'm very much enjoying. It is a little harder to get it to understand to like open my PS4 and go to YouTube. You know what I mean? I end up just putting it on the PS4 and then, you know, using their controller to go over to the YouTube app, which is not horrible.

It's just like, it's not the thing I was promised when I felt like I set it up. But I'm really looking forward to a day when we just have like, you know, your game console or whatever the thing is that you primarily need to have plugged into your TV and then everything else just kind of works from there. Like, it feels like we're getting closer, but like, it's just currently, it feels like, wasn't cable cards supposed to be a thing?

What's happening? Yeah, we know cable card. Come on. That's from another era. That's the same thing. I know, but I just mean like, if that, if we lived in the universe where that took off, I feel like we'd be there already. I don't know.

I honestly, it's like, I don't want, I feel like I'm not watching enough content even like, think about this anymore. But like, we started watching this TMT, sorry, TNT show. I am the night. Have you watched it at all? Mm-hmm.

It starts Chris Pine, where he's like, definitely out there trying to get an Emmy because his performance is really over the top. It's kind of heavy-handed. Patty Jenkins did it, but it's an interesting story. It's like partially about this girl who like it's about this girl who goes to find her like real parents in LA. It's also like about the Black Dahlia murder and it's interesting. It's like set in 1965, so it's very moody. Got a lot of vibes that I'm into. But at any rate, I just wanna watch that show

in a simple way and it's so hard. I've been recording it on my whatever my the direct TV function is. And it's like, so you've replicated all of the garbageness of a DVR digitally, like a pure digital DVR. Like there has to be a better way for you to do this. Like this should have chapters. Like this should have other information.

Like this should work better. Netflix, but for cable. Yeah, right, okay. Well, maybe Netflix will get in the cable game. That'll fix everything All right, I'm speaking of things to watch. Oh my god watch the Super Bowl I watched I watched a little bit of Super Bowl and I can't believe we're even talking about the Super Bowl This is all really a vehicle for me to make fun of Adam Levine

Adam Levine is I'll just say this I didn't watch the halftime show. I didn't watch it live. Later, I heard so many cringy things that I was like, all right, let's look at this. Ooh, I saw some of the ads. So, I mean, he had a great tweet, which is like, Adam Levine looks like the guy from a memento. His tattoo is makeable to the guy from a memento, but the mystery is where he left his jewel. I just like the one that turns his California at stomach tattoo into Disney's California at his time.

Yeah, looks great. We're natural on him. I mean, and I mentioned this to you the other day, but the thing that I always think about when I see Adam Levine doing anything is that he and Jonah Hill are best friends since childhood. And that's like, I just think about that all the time. Like, and I think like, did he,

like, who was the cool one in that relationship? Like, was it, like, was Jonahill the cool one in that relationship? Power dynamics probably shifted back and forth as Jonah, like, had some success. Dan Maroon 5 took off and then Jonahill was up for an Oscar. Now Maroon 5 is at the Super Bowl. Like, I think there's a lot, plus obviously Adam Levina's

far more attractive than Jonah Hill. So there's probably a lot of back and forth power dynamics. I don't think I understand the intricacies of heterosexual bro culture enough to tell you. No, same. And I say this is largely heterosexual bro. So I think the thing, I mean, whatever Maroon 5 is just non music to me. It's so bad. For sure, Maroon 5, I you know, I think the the thing I mean whatever moon five is just non music to me

It's it's it's it's so bad. I heard maroon five. I was like well these guys will be like a one hit wonder They're like lit remember lit the band lit. They had one song. I was like My it's called my own worst enemy. It's no surprise to me. I am my own worst enemy. Yeah, you know the song Yeah, they want hit They're like pop punk or whatever. And then they just disappeared as they should. I was like, we're in five. It's definitely like a lit-esque situation.

But Jonah Hill's been pulling some strings and Hollywood and we cannot get rid of them. Yeah, Jonah Hill somehow got we're in five into some deal. I mean, literally we're in five, like the band that did the deal with the devil. Like, he's like, I will. Like the dazzle.

He's like, I will feast on your eternal souls and they're like, okay, just long as we can keep doing hits or whatever. Whatever it takes, man, I gotta be a famous guy. I mean, I understand I'm sure Adam Lovien's actually a really nice guy, you know. Sure he's just really. So while I was watching that,

I was like, any like living female performer could do a better show than this. And like, I would rather watch Megan Trainor for 20 minutes But they're all so boring. That's bolt that is both. The whole thing is like keep it safe Yeah, they're just trying to keep it. But they want the trappings of cool So like he like takes it shirt off. He's got tattoos But every tattoo is like calculated marketing tattoo

But I'm gonna look at a picture right now. We're talking Levine super bull, Pat Tuz. Hello, hello, sir, auto, search, auto, fill, whatever the fuck you are. Thanks big data. Let me see what big data is showing me about his, here we go. Yeah, I mean, he's got a bunch of stuff, you know, he's got some sandskirt on here.

He's got a, you know, lion, California, there's an eagle there, a cherub. Is it the, if you just went to the wall of any tattoo? Or there, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's definitely like, it's like, you can kind of choose your own adventure. Like, I'm just looking at some Harlem, it's like, you know what I wanna get?

You know what I wanna get? Some dice on my wrist. Yeah, like, no, no, he's like, it's a general, he's like, I wanna look generally tattooed. Yeah. Like, like, what can I, they're like, hey, what about a piece on your back that's like an angel holding a skull?

It might be like a fish. It's like an angel holding a face like whatever. I don't care. Like, how about a piece on your arm we'll do some numbers, we'll do some like Yakuza style shit? His tattoos are the Maroon Five of tattoos. That sounds right to me.

I didn't realize, okay, so I right to me. I didn't realize okay So I've only see because I didn't watch before he's got a butterfly, which is okay He's like this represents rebirth. I didn't realize he started with a shirt on so that's oh yeah He looks like a couch Yeah, I just saw this picture of there's like this pattern that's on a couch This exactly the same thing is that a shirt is pretty funny But like anyhow look we've already spent way too much time talking about this, because if you saw these pictures, and you didn't know anything about them, you're like,

well, this guy's kind of some kind of hard-ass. What's this? They had some kind of fucking metal band at the halftime show, right? Like this. It was a supreme underwear. Especially if you squinted a little, you'd be like, oh, there's a new green day style.

Yeah, it was something hard. And he's like, what is the word five hits? Let me just look up. Where's the five hit? She will be loved. Yeah, she will be. Do they do that? I don't remember.

Moves like Jagger. One more night is that a hit, maps, which I think I know that it's like got some kind of like hooding part in it. Top 10, maroon five songs, here they are, you ready? Maps. Maps. Don't wanna know featuring Kendrick Lamar.

Animals. Makes me wonder, she will be love, that's number six this love of this love that was there was that their first hit I think it might have been this love this love I think that was she will be love no no no this love 2004 oh yeah that's the first maroon five joint that hit the world maybe or or wait Yes, then this love Followed by she will be loved That's how oh yeah, this love Yeah, yeah, yes, that's how bland maroon 5 is they couldn't even get out of doing their second single with Lord love in the title

They're like love love love love love love love love her love Let's fall in love or Whatever. It doesn't matter Meanwhile, they don't even write their own foot and not to this matter. They don't write their own fucking songs It's you know, they're like literally the songs are written by the same people that write fucking lady Gaga songs Sorry lady Gaga rates lady Gaga. Okay. Don't she? Yeah, let's see. Let me see. What is her biggest hit? Gaga yeah Let's see. Let me see. What is her biggest hit? Gaga. Yeah. Her biggest radio hit was a song I don't like called the license, but her biggest hit in general is bad romance. Bad romance. That was bad made. Is that from her first record? No, it's from the fame monster EP.

Fame monster EP. You tell you who wrote the fame was the album. Fame monster was an adiff from writers. Her. You tell you who wrote the theme was the album theme monster was an adfloss songwriter's her and then this guy Nadir Kajat oh red one red one the producer no songwriter credit yeah but he's the producer of that song that's why he also has a songwriter credit song telling you lady got our right turn music everybody has everybody gets help it's no big deal

let's listen everybody has help. Let me tell you, let's look at some, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to, I'm not knocking her, but she definitely doesn't write all of her own songs. She definitely does. And I'm only saying this because I've talked about how MeruD5 writes none of their own songs. Okay.

She writes more songs than MeruD5. I'll tell you that. I want to say this though, before we get off of this topic. Let me look at Borne this way real quick have you ever oh born this was 100% run by her because there's that whole scandal that it sounded like express yourself no no the song yeah written by Gaga and yep a Larsen performing under the name senior junior senior lead vocals of the band junior senior honestly there's only one song on this record where she has soul writing credit.

No big deal. No shaming that game, I'm just telling you. Red one writes a lot of songs with her. Okay, let's get back on topic. Well, the one you're so bad. This is, God, the cover of Born This Way is terrible. My goodness. Oh yeah, no, it's really bad.

I've never really thought the deluxe edition would be better looking. This is fucking insane. It's really the cover of Born This Way is terrible, my goodness. Oh yeah, no, it's really bad. I've never really looked at the deluxe edition because it was a better looking CD. This is fucking insane. It's really the cover. I know, it's really bad. Do this yourself. Yes. She's like, I'm just gonna, you know what,

I'm just gonna Photoshop it, just forget it. That's gonna be me as a motorcycle. Yeah, it's bad. But I'm gonna look like, I'm gonna look at the deluxe edition. The deluxe edition is good. But I'm gonna look exactly like Dees Snyder. She's like, I'm gonna look exactly like de-sneider She's like I'm gonna use de-sneiders head

But it's gonna be my arm or something here. I know it's really bad. Oh Who we and you know, I think lady Gaga is very attractive, but that does not do in her justice Okay, what's next on our list of? Well before we move on have you ever heard the moves like Jagger conspiracy theory about Mick Jagger? Well, before we move on, have you ever heard the moves like Jagger conspiracy theory about Mick Jagger? No, do you remember there was a show on TV? It was originally going to be called, I think it was originally called Let's Rob Mick Jagger. Hold on, I may have actually ended up being called that. Nobody remembers us. Let's Rob Mick Jagger, I think was the name of the show. The Knights of Prosperity, they renamed it. And now I think they should not have renamed it.

It was on for 13 episodes in 2007. It's an American comedy series. It's about a show of mis, sorry, about a group of misfits who attempt to rob various celebrities, the first being Mick Jagger. Jagger was created as one of the executive producers. Originally it was called Let's Rob Jeff Goldblum. Oh, they were going to change the title. Let's Rob Jeff Goldblum, let's Rob Mick Jagger, etc. Okay, anyhow, sorry, go ahead. So my conspiracy theory, and I truly believe this, is that so the Rolling Stones signed to UMG

is that so the Rolling Stones signed to UMG in 2008. And remember like in the late 2000s, every pop song ever mentioned Mick Jagger. No, I don't remember that. Like the Black Ride P's had that song the time. There's moves like Jagger, TikTok mentions Mick Jagger, Jonas Brothers songs mentioned Mick Jagger. All these artists that were also signed to UMG, started mentioning Mick Jagger a lot.

And I haven't seen this all in theory, but this was all to make Mick Jagger more relevant. And it's backed up by the fact that if you look up Google Trends, every time a song about him comes out, like his stuff, it always makes you check the chart. Yeah, 20-year-olds are like, who's Mick Jagger? Yeah. And then suddenly they're like, wait,

what's this Steel Wheels record? Let me check it out. Yeah. suddenly they're like, wait, what's this steel wheels record? Let me check it out. Yeah. And they're like, yeah, I love steel wheels. They're like, I'm cool. I understand Kesh's reference. I don't know if anybody is understanding my joke here. Steel wheels is like a 90s, maybe,

or late 80s rolling stones records. Not considered to be one of their best. Okay. What's the head from steel wheels though? I'm actually curious now. We're really going down so many beautiful rabbit holes here Steel Wheels if you if you is that what it's called and it has to make that up is that though not the Rolling Stones okay, I did not make that up

Here's the big hit 1989 crazy fucking year by the way Crazy when I was born 19 nice the year that Tim Burton's Batman came out. Yeah And this is what other stuff what happened I don't know if they came out right will head and Tim Burton's bad they both came out night to daddy died. Uh, yeah, and still wheels mixed emotions. I think that was the big hit. Mm. Anyhow. Well, in other news, yes, Facebook's been paying teens to spy on them. You know, you know, cool things among teens. Teens, oh, we got to talk about TikTok for a second, by the way, but let's, but let's talk about this because speaking of teens,

um, uh, yeah, Facebook was paying teens, they're like, we'll give you 20, a $20 gift certificate to our bees or something. they're like, we'll give you a $20 gift certificate to our bees or something. In exchange for, they're like, you like likes, we'll send you some likes. They're like, not just in exchange for like what you do on Facebook or whatever. Literally in exchange for everything you do on your phone.

Yeah, tax messages, location, I love it, all traffic. They know how to do it. I gotta respect them. You gotta respect Facebook for just going for it. Just they're just like, we don't care how wrong it is anymore. Like, I can't believe the teens were only getting 20 bucks a month. That's a lot of money to teens.

You should see what happens when Zelda gets a dime. I guess. We wrote her a check for a dollar though, that she was ecstatic. It's, well, she helped to fix something. She was like, that'll be $1.25. I was like, all right. Seems like a actually a pretty good deal.

One time when we went to 7-11 and my dad offered to buy me a slushie and I asked him to take the money for instead. And he said, you know what, you can't. He's like, that's a smart business decision. I respect it. At any rate. So, what were we talking about? Oh, right.

Yeah. I mean, it's like Facebook is just so bad. They're just so bad. They're so distinct. And listen, I don't know. I can't remember. Like somebody tagged me on Facebook today. They're not even devious.

They're just bad. No, they're not devious. They're worse than Natasha. Like we have two billion customers in our stock is soaring. What are you gonna do to us? Yeah, you know They're not gonna blackmail by the natural inquirer. You can't take um They're like you're there dick. We pay teens

You can't you can't you can't fight them You just have to avoid them So anyhow, what was they saying? Oh right so so Facebook's bad I think how somebody like ping me on Facebook They're like, you know, they like at they at added me at at message me. They didn't they didn't add me or whatever Whatever and I looked to Facebook because like I don't look at Facebook and I was like, okay I've seen this message and it was not worth my time. And now I'm done with Facebook again. I don't even know why I have the Facebook account.

I was completely astonished when I load up Facebook and I see somebody is posting a picture of themselves with a story about their day in earnest with some hashtags. I'm like, what are we doing here? Why are you on here? It's real okay. It's wild, man. It's blowing my mind.

And actually, this is in a segue. I do want to talk about before we end this podcast I want to talk a little about Candace Owens her comments about Hitler. Um, I don't know if you've been catching following that at all Oh, yeah, when she proposed a green she's a heal and then was holding politicians accountable and uh, oh, no, sorry I'm sorry. I'm not this is to Andrea Casio Cortez. Sorry today'm not that. I'm not that. I'm not that. I'm not that. I'm not that. I'm not that. I'm not that.

I'm not that. I'm not that. I'm not that. I'm not that. I'm not that. I'm not that. I'm not that. I'm not that.

I'm not that. I'm not that. I'm not that. I'm not that. I'm not that. I'm not that. I'm not that. I'm not that. I'm not that. I'm not that. I'm let's say I get off track. Candice Owen, who Kanye West was like her mind.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Kanye, I mean, there's, you know, this, this, who's the actor that got attacked in, was it in Chicago? Oh, Jesse Smollett. Yes, Jesse Smollett, thank you. The, the, you, it's like you can no longer, there is no possible way you can claim that Maga and the Maga hat does not represent

like a institutional racism A call violent institutional white supremacy mindset and doctrine. I mean, to me that is the clear assigned It's like it is being that is what it is being used for that is what it is It is that that is the thing that so like, Kanye puts that fucking hat on again. I mean, he should be canceled already. As far as I know, based on what I know about canceling, based on what I understood about cancel culture,

Kanye should be canceled, and yet it seems like he's still not canceled. Because the thing about cancel culture is that it exists as like a construct that we can discuss and like, what's the impulse and stuff. But at the end of the day, like Woody Allen could still go make a movie. No, at the end of the day, fandom beats out cancel culture.

Yeah. If you have a fan base big enough that doesn't care about how bad you are. Yeah, cancel, cancel culture. I mean, fan culture, it's like, it's like, it's like a blind fan, fan culture. I mean, Chris Brown still sells. Is the ultimate antidote to cancel culture.

Yeah, Chris Brown still sells in scene. That's what I'm saying. fan culture is the ultimate antidote to cancel culture. Yeah, Chris Bradstill sells insane. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, it's like, oh, I don't care. I just don't care what he does. It's like the people who go to the Lucy case doesn't like, I don't care how bad he is. I'm separating the art from the artist. I'm gonna go see Lucy came,

make jokes about how he wants to attack teens. Like he attacked women. No, but I mean, look straight up, like you can do that. I can watch a Woody Allen movie right now and still find entertaining, but like the movies women. No, but I mean, look straight up, like you can do that. I could watch a Woody Allen movie right now and still find entertaining, but like the movies where he's, the movies where he's like dating a really young girl. Yeah, and he's old.

All loaded. You know, yeah, like it's gonna be like slightly more disturbing and maybe make me feel like the movie has a subtext that I didn't pick up on before and maybe I don't wanna watch the movie anymore. Yeah, anyhow, look here, let's get back on topic. Where we on topic, oh I wanna talk about TikTok. We talk about TikTok. Sure. I know this is not on your list of topics. So

some of me was going, there's like big thread yesterday. I don't know if you saw it as some reporter or some of it was like, I'm glad that sorry, I just saw on my Twitter feed daily beast. Candace Owens Hitler was okay until he tried to go global. That's their headline. Candace Owens needs to fucking be canceled. Sorry. If we're doing cancel culture, right? This is a person who needs to be canceled. Okay. Anyhow. So TikTok. Something reporter was like, oh, I love how pure TikTok is.

It's so sweet. It's so, it's like the internet before. It got nasty and ugly and lovable. And like, I was looking at these videos that they were sharing. And looks on mid-ally. Some of them are amazing. Like a maze. By the way, it's just fine. It's, yeah, I was gonna say the videos that they were sharing and like, it's all middly. Some of them are amazing. Like, by the way, it's just vine. It's, yeah, I was gonna say the spirit of vine. It is, it is vine, right? But like, I find something, there's something about the type of videos that I see a lot of videos that I was seeing on TikTok that makes me like somewhat question the like

that makes me somewhat questioned the pureness of it all. Like, have you ever looked at TikTok? Of course. There's a lot of teenage girls in like, you know, I don't know, less than loungewear. Like, I mean, there's a whole culture of, and this is across multiple apps of teen boys with their shirt off. Yeah, the team boys too.

Yeah, saying like, hey girl, like I'm your only boyfriend. And like all you got to do is send me a couple bits or whatever like the in app currency is. And like I'll talk to you for a few minutes. And it's like, it's not only does it open itself up for exploitation by adults, it's like a horrible model to sell to impressionable teenagers. No, no, no, no, that's what I'm saying. I'm saying like that like what seems to be the,

one of the dominant forms of entertainment on TikTok is like a kind of like pretty sexualized teen person, boy or girl, largely seems to be boys and girls. Not wearing a ton of clothes like dancing in a fairly sexualized way or singing in a fairly sexualized way about something. It could be funny sometimes, it could be cute, but there's a lot of it that like made me like kind of uncomfortable. I was like, I don't think this is like as innocent and pure, and like if I'm a fucking total creep and I'm sure there are, and I think this has been written about a little bit, because I haven't really fucked with TikTok at all.

Like I kind of, I looked at it when it was musically, I was like, this is definitely not for me. Like I know when to draw the line, you know, like, they're fucking, like, there's some 40-year-old guys who are like, I'm going to engage in the musically community. Like, I'm not that guy. And then I went, and then I went back yesterday and I was looking at it. I was like, yeah, like, I'm not, I hear what this person's saying. And I think viewed through the most generous lens in a world where there are no creeps, like, this is totally cute. But we don't live in that world, you know? And the world we live in is like, you need to view this through the lens of like, this

is like, these people are engaging in something that looks different to different sets of people. And I think is like, is absolutely a part of this kind of like overly sexualized, overly glamorized Instagram mentality that we have about the way things should look and feel. Like did you see business that had an article about a study that they did where they had teens, like they took a picture of teens and they're like, edit this photo, they gave the teens like editing tools

or like somebody would edit the photos with them and they're like, edit this so you think it's like ready to put on Instagram and like perfectly fine-looking, beautiful-looking people Did like insane things to their face as like teens because they don't think that like their face looks the way It doesn't look the way it should look to go on social media and like That's fucked up like I'm gonna, I have to say, I was watching that Netflix documentary, Abducjit in Plainsite about this girl who gets kidnapped and it's

absolutely bonkers. Yeah. But the whole time I was thinking, if you kidnapped like a teen girl nowadays, like if that was like what you were gonna do, um, oh, it would be really hard to put up missing pictures because all the pictures of the young girls are so heavily edited that nobody would know, nobody would know how to find them. Yeah, no, we just, we actually just ran a piece about celebrity beauty on the site written by Angela Lashbrook, who's great, and sort of touches on this.

I mean, the amount of, I mean, Lauren, I talk about this all the time, because we'll fall, like we fall, like you just regular, somewhat regular people, not models, not celebrities. Yeah, I mean, Lauren, I talk about this all the time because we'll fall, like, we fall, like, you know, just regular, somewhat regular people, not models, not celebrities. Yeah, I don't follow. I don't, my account is literally Instagram. I only follow people that I actually know. I don't follow meme accounts, celebrities, any of that.

And like, and like, and like, people, the level of casual, like, filtering that goes on. Yeah. Like, the level of casual touching up that happens is it's fucking weird. I mean, there's something problematic about it. And I think that- To the degree that I will put a filter on

or touch whatever up because I don't want to look even uglier than all the other things in your feed. You know what I mean? No, right, I mean, it embeds, but also the homage to the- It's like an arm's race. But the homogeneity of all that is also really depressing. Like, it's like, I'm increasingly like when you look at like the, like whatever the

Los Angeles faces of women. Yeah. It's increasingly like one face. It's weird that people get plastic surgery for a trend like that too, because you're like, you have the 2010 face. Yeah. It's like, this face,, like this style is going to change, and then you're gonna be stuck. Yeah.

But also like, I don't know, people look best, in my opinion, for the most part, listen, if you feel strongly like you need to have something done to your body, like I'm not gonna be like, you shouldn't do that, I'm not gonna police what other people do. Yeah, if there's a future or two that you're like, this one really bothers me, but you shouldn't be that. I'm not gonna police what other people do. Yeah, if there's a future or two that you're like, this one really bothers me,

but you shouldn't be trying to create a new face. Like most people look by far their most attractive, like the way that they were supposed to. That's the thing, like, if there's something actually that I find it to be uncanny, and it is actually an uncanny valley thing when like people's faces are really perfect, you know? The perfection is like actually,

and it looks like an error to me. And I'm sure a lot of people feel this way, but it is sad to me to think about like this whole, and I'm sure I sound like an old man now, but this goes deeper than like, the kids are watching too much TV or the kids are playing too many video games. Like, we're not talking about,

like, you know, like I think typically when you think about like older generations being worried about younger generations, it's in the past, it's always been about like, you know, yeah, there's been some sort of, like they're getting their ears pierced or they're getting tattoos or whatever, you know, it's like, those are very much like,

and I would say like, what is interesting is like, those are very much like additive sort of, their augmentations to what like sort of exists, you know, in many ways, this is like an alteration. These are a removal of character. Yeah, it's like, right, and it's like, just this, I'm ways. This is like an alteration. This is a removal of character. Yeah, it's like, right. And it's like just this, I'm very, it's just such a crazy. Anyhow, this is, I mean, obviously this goes way deeper

than just the fucking TikTok conversation. My point about TikTok is, I don't know what kind of policing is being done on TikTok. And I don't know where, like, I don't know who's none. I don't, it's like, well, I know it's, it was bought by a Chinese company, right? Like, it's not owned by a, a, a, a, a, it was bought by a Chinese company, right? Like it's not owned by a Western or even a US company

I Don't know what their policies are I don't know what the thing is being used for Clearly somebody's making money off of it. I'm not exactly sure how I assume the artists are making money And there's some really amazing stuff on there like funny stuff and like creative stuff truly creative stuff There's also a lot of stuff in there that's like this weird intersection of like youth culture and like Cam Girl culture and like over sexualizing

like adolescents and teens and like, it definitely is like if you view it through the lens of like a lot of creeps on the internet, which is like that's who's looking at it, it's weird. And I don't think it's good. That's just my review of TikTok. Yeah, I don't know. I think it's one of those things that I don't think parents understand it so they don't, they're not talking about it because they truly just don't get what it is.

Like you remember when the news would be like kids are going to rainbow parties where they put like rubber bands on their arms to see what kind of sex they're having. That's a really easy thing for them to explain. A five minute like nightly. Rainbow parties were completely debunked, right? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I'm so unreal. Rainbow parties were.

I remember thinking like, I would go to a rainbow party. So I just want to be clear and for any sensitive viewers out there, you know, steal yourself. The Rainbow Party concept was that girls were wearing different colored lipstick and then like giving guys below jobs to see who could like go the furthest. Oh, that wasn't what I was talking about. That some of the rainbow parties are? No, I thought it was when people were wearing like wristbands of different colors to signify the kind of sex.

They would have kind of like the hanky code, the gay hanky code. Hold on. Okay, no, dude. This is from Wikipedia. A variant of other sex party or a misdistory claim that if these events allegedly increase the popularity of money adolescents, females wearing various shades of lipstick take turns flating males in sequence, leaving multiple colors resembling a rainbow on their penises. Okay, dear God.

Nobody was doing that. Nobody was doing that. Nobody was doing that. You know why? Kids aren't that organized. They're not? Yeah, they're not. Teenagers are not like, hey, here's an idea.

It's like, they're like, I got drunk and did something stupid. Like, that's what happens. Yeah, also, that isn't fun. Like, anyone who did that one time would be like, why didn't Marcy make us do that? That was terrible. I feel like for a teen boy, that's a lot of pressure. Yeah, honestly.

Honestly, I mean, I know it's like, you know, it's like, I mean, it's a lot of pressure on a group of teen girls too But this is I mean, this is like completely fabricated meanwhile Meanwhile, anyway, I just don't think the news could explain TikTok with to anyone's satisfaction to anybody So no, no, no, nobody can explain anything everybody's stupid. Nobody knows anything. I mean people on the news don't know anything in anything. Everybody's stupid. Nobody knows anything. I mean, people on the news don't know anything. I mean, they know some stuff. No, you on, on like regular news. I really trust Kylie Tong on CW news. What? Just kidding. Who's that? And what is that? She's great. She, she, she

is a, she's the news reader on CW news like news thing and I really see W has news. Yeah, I like like local news. Yeah, that near quantum. My jam. All right, let's move on. Yeah, okay. Okay. Oh, we're doing nice things. We're doing nice. This is a quick one. They're really actually despite the all of the things we talked about. There really hasn't been anything notable. has been anything notable that has happened. I mean, AOC continues to slay, take, he may see us slaying, I've got it, it's, she's crushing it, she's changing the whole way, the whole way the government works. The state of the union happened, but I don't really know what to say about it.

I didn't watch it. I'm complies and everybody, I won't watch this guy. I saw all these fucking people. I didn't watch them either. They're like real-time fact check. It's like it doesn't matter guys. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You can't real-time fact check him. No, I'm not I'm not saying is bullshit

I went and did a Glenn close themed comedy show and said and you know what I came away much more informed and galvanized Also, yeah, there you go. I would say um I Would say Also big news average finny died You know the original Daddy Warbox. Yeah, yeah. Don't tell Zelda. No, I won't, but she doesn't really understand the whole concept of death yet, so.

Or maybe actors. We've been reading, it's total aside, but we've been reading Treasure Island, which Laura suggested, and I think is way too advanced. And this is like five deaths in the first 20 pages. And like one of the deaths is like the Lord of the Flies. It's like the blind beggar was run through with a horse or whatever. It's like, and he's like literally his body's like in a ditch.

It's like, it's like pirates of the Caribbean used to explain to kids like how women were sold off to pirates and sex slavery. Like within the first two minutes of the ride. She's like, she's like, what's happening? I'm like, the blind beggar died. He a horse ran over him. She's like, are they going to the black spot?

I'm like, no, no, no, the black spot is something that gets put on you. It's like, you're marked for death. She's like, oh, okay. But my last night before bed, the Bezos story broke as we were putting Zelda to bed. And I was like, Laura, I was like, Laura, have you seen this Jeff Bezos story? And she's like, no. And then Zelda's like, who's Jeff Bezos? And I was like, I was like, Laura, I was like, Laura, have you seen this Jeff Bezos story and she's like, no.

And then Zelda's like, who's Jeff Bezos? And I was like, oh, no. A story to her. I mean, I was explaining to her in, you know, a clean way. I was like, he's a very powerful man. It was very complicated. And he has, you seem to be interested. She's a big Bezos fan.

And yeah, let's do, let's do nice things. Good things. We need to get out of tonight. Six out of here. Yeah, let's do it. You going first? I guess. Yeah, let's do it. You going first? I guess. Yeah, do it. So I watched Velvet Buzzsaw on Netflix. Oh, I want to see that. It's definitely worth a watch. No spoilers. It makes me nervous to even criticize it because it's

all about how like criticism is bad and artists just for you, man. Well Jell-in-Hall in that movie, I recommend everyone just go and do that right now. Really, he is so beautiful and he was good in it as well and he seems like he's completely off the fucking chain on that one. Yeah, I played Kingdom Hearts 3 and as I expected, it's not a good game but it's a great game. The whole thing is a series of cutscenes, explain the mash, the button X, and the plot makes no sense. I mean, it includes like,

I mean, and I've been following Kingdom Hearts since the beginning, trust me. But the plot is like, you know, there's time travel, double identities, people with the same face, hearts and souls and, you know, amnesia and like, Chris crossing organizations with the same name, but they're not the same and good and evil and then like Mickey and Donald and it's so weird and I like I'm having a lot of fun, but I can't recommend it.

I give you never played a King of Hearts game, absolutely don't start now. I only know what Jeremy Gordon and Aaron Edwards, formerly, Jeremy, currently, of it, and Aaron formerly of the outline have talked about, I mean, they wrote some stuff about it and they talked about it a bunch. And Aaron had some videos of it on his Instagram. And I was like, what is this game you're playing?

And he's like, Kingdom Hearts. I was like, this seems fucking crazy. It's incredible fun. I cringe at myself remembering how I felt watching some of the cutscenes because it's just like, we've gotta go to get Rapunzel. Her hearts are intertwined with the system. And if we don't save Kyrie,

then she won't be able to release the darkness and get Zeya North's clone to, you're like, all right guys, we got to fucking calm down. Like, sounds good to me. I just want to see Rapunzel's pretty hair. It sounds good. So that is a nice thing to recommend. All right, so you recommend it.

I like the nice thing, yeah, that's it. I'm gonna just gonna meander here a little bit. So first off, I mean, I know I've already talked about it, but I finished my first play through a Resident Evil 2, a remake, and it is so fucking good. It is just like, and also I will say, great argument for shorter games. Like, I love it.

Yes, any game you could do in eight hours, great. Yeah, and I just fucking tore through it and I enjoyed it and it was a good, like engaging. Like, you know, I probably spent 10 hours or something playing it, maybe a little bit more. Now I'm going back for my second round, my second run with Claire. And it's fucking fun.

It's very fun. That's funny. What's that? It's that I started with Claire. Yeah, so I originally started with Claire and then I was like, no, I'm gonna start with Leon and then I was like, I kind of like, I actually went back and forth a couple times

at the beginning and I wasn't sure and then I just like stopped with Leon because I don't know, because I'm a jerk, I'm sexist. At any rate, so I think actually the Claire version is in some ways better, but it's like, wow, I'm like, this is such a completely different story. Like there's so much other stuff going on. It's exciting to do it a second time.

And also like take all of the stress of like, how do I play this game out of it? Now I'm like, okay, I know how to play it really well. I know where stuff is. It's a little bit different this time around, but like it's a different level of playing it. You know, it's like, okay, the tyrant showed up, but I can handle it.

Anyhow, so it's really fun and I highly recommend it. And I'm looking now for, I'm now on the hunt for games that have good stories and great play and end at some point. I also, it also encouraged me to go back and start playing. I downloaded Resident Evil Revelations for my Switch, which I completely forgot I had. And I was like, oh, wait, I have another Resident Evil game that I have never played, because I didn't play it

the first time around. And it's not that good, but it definitely And I was like, oh wait, I have another resident evil game that I have never played because I didn't play it the first time around and It's not that good, but it definitely like there's a lot in common with like resident evil too. I Basically like every resident evil game except three they're they're all I mean For I think three is good. It's just every idea for every horror or fantasy or acting. No, four is the greatest. I mean, four is the shoved and the greatest stage. For the go. For everyone knows that it's a well, it's well.

I will buy it on every platform. Like every time they release it, I will buy it. It's well documented that, listen, GameCube is the best. And nobody knows it, but GameCube is like low key the best ever. I mean, Resident Evil 4 is just incredible. Um, so anyhow, so, um, yeah, sort of games, you know, it does, it does not interest me in the, in the, in the least, something like Anthem with like lots of people and we've got to just get in our robot, robot suits, robots and, and the story plays

out and it's a personal story and we've got a like micro transaction in weapons so that we can proceed with our party. Like, no, no, thank you. No, I don't want to do that. I don't want to do that. I want to see Rapunzel's pretty hair and then end this at some point. Yeah, I mean, I look, I like a long game. I mean, I like, I do like a long game. You know, I will absolutely, you know, I'll absolutely play like Horizon Zero Dawn, which was a super long game, and you can play forever if you want, you know, or like Fallout 3, which was like a super long game. But there's a story there that ends at the point. Yeah. Like if you want to keep catching Pokemon,

you're welcome to do so. But the Bohokeymon plot itself is like 10. You're done. Yeah, and so at any rate So I I'm enjoying I'm enjoying a game that ends and I'm gonna keep looking for games that end The and then the other thing is I'm reading I've just about to add done with this book called bad behavior written by woman The married gates go. I don't know if she's familiar with her And it's I think maybe the first thing she published, it's a collection of short stories, so it's some of her early stories.

And I'm reading it for a book club that Lauren, I have started with a friend of ours, which is just like, well, originally the idea was like, we were going to just have a book club. And then, well, Lauren, I'm going to have a book club. And then I was like, you need more than two people to have a book club. I felt so we involved our friend.

And now, but then, our friend Allison was like, could it be a book club, I felt. So we involved our friend. And now, but then our friend Allison was like, could it be a book club about really fucked up books? And we're like, okay, let's, like, what's a fucked up book? And then we ended up with some like, torture porn books essentially. And I'm like, yeah, like this isn't the kind of, and Laura's like, how about this? And it's like fucked up because it's just about people,

babe and badly. And anyway, it's really good. It's, it's really good. It's actually one of the stories is secretary, which the movie is based on. So you can get a kind of idea of the types of story she writes. And she's a really wonderful writer. And the book is good, and it's easy to read. It's a short book, and there's a bunch of short stories.

And so if you're trying to like get something accomplished on the reading front, I recommend it. Also, if you want to be both disgusted and titillated at the same time, Mary Gates' skill is your lady. Not to argue, it's kind of hit for my nice things.
