Now, First 15 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: of all, you hate mister Beast. 16 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 2: Can't stand the guy? 17 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: What's wrong with them? 18 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 2: I think that this idea of mister Beast and this 19 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 2: sort of capitalist distoe that he's built for himself on 20 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 2: YouTube is just like a sign of the end times. 21 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 2: I can't stand it, Like this sort of jigsaw from 22 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 2: Saw like games that he puts people in and it's 23 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 2: very like you know, old school the rich. Almost a 24 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 2: billionaire now he's going to be the YouTube's first billionaire. 25 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: And how he entertains himself is he locks people on 26 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 2: a supermarket and says, you know, dance, monkey dance, I'll 27 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 2: give you, you know, ten thousand dollars if you do this. 28 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 2: And on top of that, like, I understand why the 29 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 2: biggest YouTuber in the world is a guy who has 30 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 2: money and puts it into his videos and makes more 31 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 2: money from that. But I just think the guy is 32 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: so uncharismatic, and I'm like, why is it this guy? 33 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: Well, the Internet's not a particularly charismatic place, I have. 34 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 2: To say it. Well, it's not like broadcast radio. 35 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: To Shay, however he has, he's gone out and then 36 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: he's made hundreds of dollars, as he says, on his 37 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: way to being a billionaire. All power to him. And 38 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: the shame is not on him. The shame is on 39 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: us for watching it, is it not? 40 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've I actually have never watched one of his 41 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: videos the whole way through. I see clips on TikTok 42 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 2: and stuff, and that was sort of how I was 43 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: introduced to him. 44 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: Can you explain for people who haven't seen him. He 45 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: does little challenges, you know, all the time. So he'll 46 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: go on a boat when I watched, and they're all 47 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: clip together really quickly. But he'll show you the difference 48 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: between being on a kayak and how you know, rent 49 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: a kayak for thirty dollars for a day. And he'll 50 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: go up each size of boat until you get to 51 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: know a billionaire's yacht. Yeah, and he'll take you on 52 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: a tour of it. And so it's a bizarre thing 53 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: to watch, but you will sit there and fifteen minutes 54 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: later you've devoured the whole thing totally. 55 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: And I think that, yeah, there is this idea that 56 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 2: people just are obsessed with the idea of money and 57 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 2: especially like billionaires and stuff. And you know, there's a 58 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: bigger divide between like the working class and the and 59 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 2: the elite more than ever, and so I think that 60 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 2: there is this desire to see how the other half 61 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: lives essentially. And also mister Beest kind of does the 62 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: this could happen to you one day, Like a lot 63 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: of his stuff is, you know, walking along the supermarket 64 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 2: aisle and it's like, oh, if you buy my chocolate 65 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 2: bar and if you follow me on TikTok, I'll give 66 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: you ten thousand dollars, right, And so that I think 67 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: is where like the sort of lottery stuff that he 68 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 2: does quite a bit, just like lotto, yeah, which you 69 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: know is and when you're appealing to young kids as 70 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 2: well that are like, well I don't understand how olds work. 71 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: Yes, hey, very quickly, there's some news that's got people 72 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: very excited in the entertainment world today about bluey Yes, well, 73 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: what's happening with Blue? 74 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: What's the complete other side of the argument?
