1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: trend Body Problem or just trend.

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 2: Is there the on the front of it?

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 3: Not on the TV show? No, No, it's just it's

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 3: just trend Body Problem.

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: Trend Body Problem is the name of the show on Netflix.

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: I feel like it would have been on HBO on

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 2: a previous lifetime, but.

9
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 3: I feel like it should have been you know.

10
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: Reasons, reasons. My name is Jack. That over there is Brian,

11
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: the editor. His last name is the editor. Yes, and

12
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: these are some of the things that are trending. I

13
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 1: mean the three Body Problem, three Body Problem is trending.

14
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: That show is now out.

15
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 3: I think it was at least briefly number one on

16
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 3: the Netflix what can laughingly be referred to as.

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 1: Charts the charts, but briefly number one does not hit

18
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: make They've definitely been canceling some shows that were briefly

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: number one, So.

20
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,559
Speaker 2: Honestly, yeah, I kind of loved doing that ship.

21
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: I loves canceling. It's a popular show after the first season.

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 2: I have not seen it yet.

23
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: I have read the first two and a half books

24
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: of the trilogy. I've read, I've gotten into the third

25
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: one and just lost moment the yeah, momentum, I'll say

26
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: the whole word. I lost the whole damn word of momentum.

27
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: Have you read did you read the whole trilogy?

28
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: I read, I read the whole series and part of that,

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: part of that fan fic that came out after. But yeah, yeah,

30
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 3: it's it's a doozy. I have opinions. It's not it's

31
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: not not perfect series, but man, the the high concept

32
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: sci fi is top notch. Characters not so much, but yeah,

33
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 3: good stuff. If you like sci fi.

34
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: The show follows through your expectation.

35
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: The show is a So I started watching the tencent version.

36
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: They made a Chinese TV adaptation, and it's like the

37
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: season is like thirty episodes and it's just covering the

38
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: first book, and I have almost no patience for that,

39
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: like something that's so drawn out, and I'm like, I

40
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 3: might as well watch fucking anime if I'm gonna do that.

41
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: But this this is a little more you know, palatable

42
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 3: as far as like length. It's eight episodes, which is

43
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 3: difficult to adapt. It's already difficult to adapt a book

44
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: or a series. But yeah, I think they made some

45
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 3: smart choices and you know, in adapting it for a

46
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 3: Western audience who probably hasn't read the books or is

47
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: even into like hard sci fi. You know, they added

48
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: a little bit of character to it. They presented all

49
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: the elements that you need to be aware of going forward.

50
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 3: They set up the stuff they needed to set up,

51
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: and I think it was pretty smartly done. Yeah, it's like,

52
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 3: you know, I feel like it could have done with

53
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: a little more budget or time, but.

54
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 2: Little XO a little less Netflix.

55
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: It looks like a Netflix show, Netflix in this current

56
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: era where they don't really actually have the money to

57
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 3: be dumping like a shit zillion dollars into each project

58
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: like they did five six years ago. But it's it's

59
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 3: effective that that's all I'll say. It's effective at getting

60
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 3: the the concepts across. But it's obviously not a book.

61
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: You know, there's gonna be some some simplifications and some

62
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 3: some things left out. But it's definitely worth a watch.

63
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: I burned through it over the weekend. It's pretty good.

64
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: Nice, all right, Well that's a pre I we'll probably

65
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: eventually watch it and covered on the show.

66
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: But it's cool show.

67
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: Definitely as somebody who's interested in, like, you know, possibilities

68
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: of first contact. It has an interesting, some interesting ideas

69
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: on what that could look like.

70
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 3: Some yeah, some pants shittingly interesting ideas.

71
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: Sometimes yeah yeah, yeah, they're not nice. They're not nice.

72
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,239
Speaker 2: It turns out all right. Other things that are trending.

73
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: Another mega candidate or Republican candidate, I guess, I don't

74
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: know if they were explicitly mega, but a Republican candidate

75
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: lost a special election in al Alabama to quote Forrest

76
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: Gump in Bama.

77
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: In Bama.

78
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so some people are concerned about that and think

79
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: maybe this is sign of things to come.

80
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: They did.

81
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: The Democrats successfully made the election about abortion, though one

82
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: could argue the Republicans successfully made the election about abortion

83
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: by overturning Row. But it's uh, yeah, it continues to be.

84
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: The Republicans continue to have that problem of their values

85
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: being wildly unpopular. You know, as we talked about with

86
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: Sarah Marshall, the pro life movement is pretty young, and

87
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: it rests on a foundation of dust.

88
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: There's not a whole lot there.

89
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 3: They have a real boner for taking the same l

90
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 3: over and over and over again.

91
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: And it's the only thing that gives them a boner. Weirdly, yeah,

92
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: unfortunately for them, which is another part of the problem. Yeah,

93
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: they can only get weird boners, they can't get normal ones.

94
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: That that makes a matt makes an old guy angry.

95
00:05:54,040 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: All right, Harvard is getting rid of its book bound

96
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: in human skin.

97
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: This is one of those stories that they woke man.

98
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: This is one of those stories that just pisses me off.

99
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: You can't even.

100
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: Find a book in human skin anymore without these fucking

101
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 3: di initiatives.

102
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, they probably shouldn't have announced this. They probably should

103
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: have just done it maybe a century ago.

104
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: This is a streisand effect type thing where I'm like,

105
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: I didn't even know you guys had books bound in skin, but.

106
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: Well they had to put it in the most like

107
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: corporate speak possible by being like, what did they say?

108
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: After careful study, stakeholder engagement, and consideration, Harvard Library in

109
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: the Harvard Museum Collections Returns committee concluded that the human

110
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: remains used in the books binding no longer belong in

111
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: the Harvard Library Collections that.

112
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 3: Is inhuman All you have to say is, yo, what

113
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 3: the fuck is this book? This is real?

114
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: What the exists?

115
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 3: Special leather.

116
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: Origin story of the book is that somebody wrote a

117
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: book about souls. A doctor friend of theirs then quote

118
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: bound the book with skin from the body of an

119
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: unclaimed female patient who had died of natural causes. Who

120
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: knows what their definition of a female patient dying of

121
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: natural causes was at that time, but his reasoning was

122
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: a book about the human soul deserved to have a

123
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: human covering. Alternate perspective on that might be then a

124
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: book about the human soul might deserve a covering that

125
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,119
Speaker 1: isn't an affront to all laws of the human soul

126
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: and like horror movie logic and ethics and humanity. That's

127
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, or you could say, well, a book

128
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: about human souls, so you got to have human skin

129
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: on it. Just a weird, weird perspective from somebody.

130
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 3: It's yeah, it's it's particularly ghoulish. And I don't know.

131
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: I'm guessing this person didn't have a whole lot of

132
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: like friends or anybody around him to tell him that

133
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 3: that's weird and you probably shouldn't bind books in human leather. No,

134
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 3: it's what do you think human leather feels like?

135
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: I'm guessing it's like, hmm, waxy is what I is.

136
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: How I've been imagining it since I've been reading about

137
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: this story like waxy and dry, and.

138
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 3: Do you think they have to like moisturize it periodically.

139
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, like a lot of the sarave.

140
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like, hey, go loop up the special so we.

141
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: Gotta lotion this bitch down. Yeah, it's just such a

142
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: so Harvard's been sitting on this one for a while.

143
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: They in twenty fourteen they confirmed that the book was

144
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 1: bound in human skin, uh, and have now decided no

145
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: longer belongs the library.

146
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: It's it's just so like harfect question, So is this

147
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: is this.

148
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 3: A book that you can go to the library and

149
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 3: and take out as a like a student or whatever

150
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 3: the fuck like one of their private Is this in

151
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 3: the private.

00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 2: Collect private stock?

153
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, like like the library that they have

154
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 3: at the Vatican where it's like, oh, we have all

155
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 3: these books, but no one can fucking see them.

156
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: Now.

157
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: This is just for people coming to the Harvard Collection museum,

158
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: the Harvard Museum collections, and also for people presumably and

159
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: like the secret Harvard fraternities that like do summoning spells

160
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: and jack off into the skull of Geronimo or whatever,

161
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: you know, whatever the Harvard equivalent. I think that was

162
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: Yale or Princeton that Jack's off in like next to

163
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: the dead body of Geronimo. But I you know, Harvard

164
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: probably has their own analogue of thing to Jack off

165
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: into to just make sure that you're you're completely untethered

166
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: by the bounds of good taste that the rest of

167
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: us concern ourselves with, so that you know you're a

168
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: real Harvard man. Anyways, Harvard said that their handling of

169
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: the book was often inappropriate, employing a sensationalistic, morbid, and

170
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: humorous tone. So we don't we don't have the details

171
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: on that just yet, but if they're coming out and

172
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: being like, not only do we have this book bound

173
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: in human skin, but we were like kind of like

174
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: dicks about it. The way we referred to it and

175
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: like talked about it, so our bad and we can

176
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: move on correct.

177
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 3: The way they talk about this, the words they have

178
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 3: chosen to use are soap. But it's like we're now

179
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 3: we're going to try and give the binding a respectful disposition. Yes,

180
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 3: you mean regular binding. You're gonna bind it like a

181
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 3: regular just like speak normal.

182
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, everything is written like it is, uh, you know,

183
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: being written by somebody by Harvard.

184
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 2: If Harvard became a sentient. A.

185
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, the human remains will be given a respectful disposition

186
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: that seeks to restore dignity to the woman whose skin

187
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: was used. Yeah, Harvard, Harvard's got secrets that I'm sure

188
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: we'll just you know, we'll hear about in the coming centuries.

189
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: Uh and be like good God, the siege. Yeah, yeah,

190
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, we'll be right back. We're gonna go

191
00:11:52,520 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: seege Harvard. We'll be back after these messages, and we're back.

192
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: And I think we mentioned at one point that Jerry

193
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: Seinfeld is making his directorial debut with a movie about

194
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: pop tarts, and I didn't quite know what that could mean,

195
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: like what was that going to be? And then the

196
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: trailer dropped for it, and I still don't know if

197
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: my brain can quite wrap itself around what he's going

198
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: for here, Like.

199
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: What this movie is.

200
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: It's like part one of those like movies like The Founder,

201
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: but then it's also part like a Zucker Brothers like

202
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: fantastical like slapstick comedy, but also it has like vibes.

203
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: Of a Ron Howard Doctor Seuss movie, Like yeah, it's.

204
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 3: Like this element of like whimsy and staginess to it

205
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 3: that is really really I can't overstate how off putting

206
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 3: the tone of.

207
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: The film really feels weird.

208
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 3: It's it's upsetting to me.

209
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: He seems like this also feels related to me because

210
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: so his origin story for this was, I was stuck

211
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: at home watching endless sad faces on TV. I thought

212
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: this would be a good time to make something based

213
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: on pure silliness, and so we took my pop tart

214
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: stand up bit from my last Netflix special, which we

215
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: all loved and adored and.

216
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 3: Watched and so I totally knew existed, yes, and.

217
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: Exploded it into a giant, crazy comedy movie. I think

218
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: I have seen his pop tart stand up bit, and

219
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: it's like the shape is the same as the box.

220
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: It's square.

221
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: Like the fact that pop tarts are like tangular is

222
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: seen as like weird by him. I don't I don't

223
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: quite understand it, but anyways, it does feel like him

224
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: being like hard.

225
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: To look at all these sad faces on.

226
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: TV just feels like it's coming from the same place

227
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: as that Imagine video.

228
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: Say that.

229
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:25,479
Speaker 3: I'm like, bro, you're so fucking out of with reality

230
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: that Yeah, look, I mean, I guess I will give

231
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 3: him just the like the modicum of grace here and say,

232
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 3: like it will seem like it's coming from like a

233
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 3: genuine place, But this is also a man who is

234
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 3: completely out of touch with reality.

235
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: It looks completely unhinged in the like and I mean

236
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: that in the best way possible.

237
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: Like it's got baz Lerman levels of unhingedness, but it's

238
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 3: it's Jerry Seinfeld, who, despite being an actor for decades,

239
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 3: has never gotten any better at it. And this is

240
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 3: his directorial debut.

241
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, I think he is a fine comedic

242
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: act I've been watching real like signed rewatching old episodes

243
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: of Seinfeld.

244
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 3: I love Seinfeld the show. But he's not a good actor.

245
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: No, he's not a good actor, but he's exactly as

246
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: good as he needs to be for like some of

247
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: the stuff that he's like written with Larry David. But

248
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: so in this world, food mascots like the Quaker Oaths

249
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: Guy and Snap Crackle and pop are real somehow, And

250
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: we also see the pop tart testing process involves fatal explosions.

251
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: There's at least one cgi anthropomorphic pop tart, although who knows,

252
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: like that could be a dream sequence, as we've seen

253
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: in snow Dogs and other films that promise a rapping kangaroo,

254
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: say kangaroo jack, and then you know, uh, don't deliver

255
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: on that. But this, this one seems completely unhinged, and uh,

256
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm just a strange.

257
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 3: This smacks of private equity. Like, fuck, every single one

258
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 3: of these movies going forward, I'm not going to engage

259
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 3: with this like any like story they're just taking. They've

260
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 3: literally run through every other like actual narrative based prop.

261
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 3: They've made every fucking comic book a movie, and now

262
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 3: they're doing fucking Bob Dylan and the Beatles and pop

263
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 3: tarts and I'm not here for it at all.

264
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: I'm here now.

265
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 3: Look, I know you can't help yourself. I'm going to not.

266
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 3: I mean, it's gonna pretend all this stuff doesn't exist,

267
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 3: because yeah, like this is just I Like, I'm from La,

268
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 3: I'm own many filmmakers and writers who are struggling to

269
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 3: get to get their their actual original stories, and and

270
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 3: this is what they've decided to do, uh instead, because

271
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 3: it has like cultural cachet or something like people have

272
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 3: heard of it, so it's woefully effective. I'll give them

273
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 3: that it works. I've heard of pop tarts, so I'll

274
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 3: go see this pop Tarts movie. I'm not blaming the people.

275
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 3: I'm just like, this is gross by Ghostie. You will

276
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 3: walk to your laptop and press play. This isn't even

277
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 3: going on the server. I'm not Wow, No, I'm not.

278
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 3: I'm not entertaining this one. Iota yeah. Have but everybody

279
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 3: else have.

280
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: Fun with the pop tart movie, all right, everybody else

281
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: have fun with drones. Door Dash has added drones to

282
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: drone to livery to its menu in some places. So

283
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,719
Speaker 1: I haven't seen this anywhere. I feel like it's going

284
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: to really be an upsetting experience the first time I

285
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: see a drone, hear a drone, because you'll hear them

286
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: before you see them, is what I'm told by people

287
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: who've been attacked by them.

288
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 3: Then you.

289
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: The first time I hear a drone roaring through the

290
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: sky to drop off like a basket of wings and fries,

291
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like even more upsetting than seeing a

292
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: like fucking cyber truck on the street.

293
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 2: It's just like, what this sucks? Right, Like this is

294
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 2: gonna suck.

295
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 3: The thing about like drone delivery in certain circumstances makes

296
00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 3: perfect sense, especially depending on the drone like rural areas

297
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 3: you know, like you need like an insulin drop in

298
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 3: the middle of fucking nowhere. God can be really effective

299
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 3: like medical related things. But I'm like, this is just

300
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 3: to like, I'm the logistics of flying this, you know,

301
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 3: it's not it's not a little dji thing like it

302
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 3: has to carry stuff, so it's gonna be pretty decently sized.

303
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 3: It's going to be loud, and it's gonna be buzzing

304
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 3: around under Like the FAA doesn't allow you to fly

305
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 3: these things over four hundred feet, so it's gonna be

306
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: relatively low to the ground.

307
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: And I'm just dos of these coming down just Avenue

308
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: New York City like it's maybe it won't maybe I

309
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: don't know it just has anybody seen these, Like we

310
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: have these like little wheelly guys that are like delivery

311
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: bots that are, you know, always rolling around the streets

312
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles. You see them like probably once or

313
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: twice a day. I've only pass them in my car.

314
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: I haven't like had to walk past them. I feel

315
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: like they just look so easy to kick over, you know.

316
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: But I'd be curious to hear from anybody who has

317
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: seen a drone delivery and just like what the experience

318
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: is like what's the what's your impressionistic take of like,

319
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: you know, seeing a door dash delivery drone like buzzing

320
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: through the sky.

321
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 3: Like I'm just trying to picture it because I've worked

322
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 3: at like restaurants before, and I'm like, Okay, let me

323
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 3: picture myself working at Chipotle and it's like, okay, I'm there,

324
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 3: I'm making the fucking burrito and then I go out

325
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 3: to like the helipad in the parking lot and look

326
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 3: like I'm just like, how what are the nuts and

327
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 3: bolts of this? How does this work in you know,

328
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 3: a major city for something as trivial as like food,

329
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 3: Like it makes a lot more sense for medical applications

330
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 3: for like other things. But I'm just like people just

331
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 3: flippantly ordering like onion rings and a milkshake. I'm like, yes,

332
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 3: I don't know. It just seems like a lot when

333
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 3: probably a scooter would suffice. But then you have to

334
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 3: pay people. That's it. That's what this is all for,

335
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 3: is they don't want to pay people to deliver this

336
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 3: stuff because they have to like live, Yeah, but they're trying.

337
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: They're trying, yeah, and it'll just be flying through the

338
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: sky taking out birds, you know, like accidentally dropping, Like

339
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: You'll just be walking down the street and a fry

340
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: will like drop on your head.

341
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 2: Like, I'm sure it's gonna be a very, very weird future.

342
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 3: I would get inordinately excited for like a half a

343
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 3: second if food started falling from the sky. I'm like, wait,

344
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 3: it's happening.

345
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 2: It's just it's happening.

346
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: The cloudy with a chance of meatball. Yeah, I'm like

347
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: cinematic uni, it's going down for real. Well that is
