Speaker 1: You can battle this pup and my guy Okay shout
Speaker 1: out to h E's Secret Full twelve twenty nine, because
Speaker 1: again all the trauma dumping on Elmo really brought us
Speaker 1: to a a much more in depth debate about can
Speaker 1: Big Bird beat up? Who would win in just a
Speaker 1: no holds barred deathmatch? Would be a Bird triumph over Elmo?
Speaker 1: Does Almo fight dirty? And that's how Almo triumphs?
Speaker 4: And we spent not even enough time really trying to
Speaker 4: get to the bottom of that question.
Speaker 1: I mean, Elmo came through. Big Bird was trying to
Speaker 1: do something on social media. He had like five days
Speaker 1: where he was no longer big. He was the size
Speaker 1: of an insect. He was picking up some traction and
Speaker 1: then Elmo comes through and is just like, hey, how's
Speaker 1: anyone we're doing, and like the internet breaks, Everyone's just like, oh,
Speaker 1: so I think this fight is like not far off,
Speaker 1: because like that had to have been humiliating.
Speaker 3: For Big Bird.

Speaker 5: sure that he kept.
Speaker 1: Pet yes, right, coming home with pockets full of rubble

Speaker 1: to buy new Eggs and also you can watch special.
Speaker 3: Wait is that a thing they'll tell you when to
Speaker 3: buy new Eggs?
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the promises of the smart
Speaker 1: refrigerator is that it will like remind you to order
Speaker 1: new ship.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I think I meant.
Speaker 4: I don't know, like it had some kind of egg
Speaker 4: sensor technology, like, hey, hey these eggs, these get.

Speaker 5: or whatever.
Speaker 1: That ship's full of ketchup packets my end, yes, right,
Speaker 1: full of ketchup pockets butter packets, so in case we
Speaker 1: have a run out of butter, you know, yeah, oh
Speaker 1: just foil wrapped pads butter. But you're like every time
Speaker 1: you're on a plane, you're like, yes, a couple more.
Speaker 1: It's the currency of the future. Yeah, they're shiny. Look
Speaker 1: how shiny they are, Laurie. We're going to get to
Speaker 1: know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things
Speaker 1: we're talking about today. It's this is this is hard
Speaker 1: to take. Okay, there's a couple of stories up top
Speaker 1: that are hard to take. It's not just Rudy who's struggling.
Speaker 1: Elon Musk was was due for a fifty five billion
Speaker 1: dollar payday.
Speaker 3: Like he that was a.
Speaker 1: Fifty five billion dollar compensation package designed by let me
Speaker 1: read this, Elon Musk. Elon Musk designed and he a
Speaker 1: judge just reached out and was like, that seems like
Speaker 1: a lot, guys, maybe we should rethink this, which kind
Speaker 1: of gets me excited for a future where judges are
Speaker 1: on the ground with the rest of us just like
Speaker 1: looking up and being like, that's that seems like too much? Maybe, Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the pages of fifty five billion. Anyways, we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about that. We're also going to talk about in more
Speaker 1: You hate to see it, don't we, folks news, Kristen
Speaker 1: Cinema is having trouble fundraising for her latest campaign, so
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that. We'll talk about the Zinsurrection, the
Speaker 1: nicotine delivery pouches, not tobacco, they're just like little powdered nicotine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but kicking off the new culture War.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the latest, the latest front in the culture war.
Speaker 3: Somehow.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the world's largest cruise ship, which is
Speaker 1: now prowling the oceans deep right now. It's been described
Speaker 1: as a monstrosity and human lasagna, so all of that
Speaker 1: plenty more. But first, Laurie, we do like to ask
Speaker 1: our guest, what is something from your search history? Oh?
Speaker 5: I guess right now, I'm very obsessed with what's happening
Speaker 5: in the Royal family and Kate Middleton. I don't know
Speaker 5: if you guys have been, She's in my search history.
Speaker 5: I look for Kate Middleton constantly right now, as do
Speaker 5: actual people looking for the actual Kate Middleton.
Speaker 4: Wait, did she have some kind of like medical procedure.
Speaker 6: I think the last surgery was like, here's what I know,
Speaker 6: sink Charles and now Kate are in hospital and I'm like,
Speaker 6: what in the hospital.
Speaker 5: If you like conspiracy theories, you got to go down
Speaker 5: this rabbit hole. On December twenty eighth, no one's seen
Speaker 5: her since Christmas? Okay, December twenty eighth, there was massive
Speaker 5: ambulances leaving the area where Kensington Palace is where she lives, right, okay,
Speaker 5: And then a couple of weeks later she was announced
Speaker 5: as being in the hospital for a planned surgery that
Speaker 5: was so planned that they had to they had to
Speaker 5: cancel a bunch of things that she had scheduled.
Speaker 1: Oh no, and they think.
Speaker 5: Prince Charles announced his surgery to deflect from from like
Speaker 5: the sense of what's what happened to Kate. The theories
Speaker 5: are Prince William is an abuser and he attacked her
Speaker 5: and she's hospitalized for that, or she had a break,
Speaker 5: she had a break down, she has an eating disorder
Speaker 5: or slash breakdown, or he filed for divorce and she
Speaker 5: had a break and she just left because the whole
Speaker 5: time she was in the hospital, none of her family
Speaker 5: visited her. And he went to see her once for
Speaker 5: fifteen minutes. Prince William and the kids are her mom, nobody.
Speaker 5: It's so strange and they won't announce what's yeah so
Speaker 5: and their explanation doesn't really make any sense. And now
Speaker 5: they're like, well, she'll be out till past Easter, which
Speaker 5: I don't know till No. Now she's recuperating at home.
Speaker 5: But the press that like counts everybody all the time
Speaker 5: somehow missciputating. Yes, So it's it's a real weird, weird
Speaker 5: situation over there, and nobody, it's like the tabloids in
Speaker 5: Britain are not presenting it that way. It's because they
Speaker 5: suck up so much to the royal family.
Speaker 3: They're part of this ecosystem.
Speaker 5: Yes, so it's all it's all out like outsiders, you know,
Speaker 5: Americans and a few, but yeah, yes, exactly.
Speaker 3: On the path.
Speaker 1: I don't know what abdominal surgery means to you, but.
Speaker 5: Oh I'm obsessed. I'm dying to know what's going on
Speaker 5: over there.
Speaker 4: What do you think in your heart of hearts? What
Speaker 4: do you think is going on?
Speaker 5: She is super thin. And here's the thing. She's not
Speaker 5: likable either, because she's seems to have been really mean
Speaker 5: to Mega Markle and slightly racist at least asking about
Speaker 5: the skin color of Prince Archie. So she's not likable.
Speaker 5: But she I would guess that she has an eating
Speaker 5: disorder and she just and maybe the abdominal surgery has
Speaker 5: something to do with that. The other thing is they
Speaker 5: there's lots of photographs of her with her fingers covered
Speaker 5: in bandages and as a former bliemix, that's those are
Speaker 5: the the when she stick down and sometimes you do
Speaker 5: have cuts on them.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 5: So that's my guess about Kate Middleton is she is
Speaker 5: getting treatment for an nian disorder. She may have collapsed
Speaker 5: from just weakness or something. Wow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the Shelley Misscabbage version is also intriguing
Speaker 4: to where they're like she was disappeared.
Speaker 1: I have question mark written in my notes here two
Speaker 1: miles really whenever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like someone the like a spouse of someone very
Speaker 4: powerful prominent, disappears dark suddenly. I'm like shage shows.
Speaker 1: Now, Like I feel like sometimes it's like maybe the
Speaker 1: person just wants to be out of the public eye
Speaker 1: and we should grant them that. In this case, it's
Speaker 1: just weird that her family is not coming to visit
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, her mother, her sister, not, none of the kids
Speaker 5: that like a mental breakdown.
Speaker 1: None of the kids is like fucked up. That's cruelty
Speaker 1: to not let like not have your kids visit you
Speaker 1: while you're in the hospital. Like that's that's a part
Speaker 1: of healthcare, would be like being able to be around
Speaker 1: your kids.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So if they if they don't want the kids
Speaker 5: to see her in whatever state she's in you or
Speaker 5: they're trying to just separate the kids from her. You know,
Speaker 5: there's again so many little paths you can go down.
Speaker 5: People people in certain Twitter circles that I follow are
Speaker 5: post there. You know, there's a lot of positioning of
Speaker 5: Prince William as a single dad now, and it's like
Speaker 5: they're trying to get the public use to the fact
Speaker 5: that she's not going to be part of it anymore.
Speaker 7: And so right, Yeah, it's weird because the kids, the
Speaker 7: crown owns the kids, you know, like once she has
Speaker 7: the kids, she's.
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, yeah, so they can go. They don't have
Speaker 4: last names, miss.
Speaker 3: That she is.
Speaker 5: She does. She does not have the same rights with
Speaker 5: their kids that I do with my kid, which is
Speaker 5: really weird.
Speaker 4: You know, that's got to be r that's grim too,
Speaker 4: because like, yeah, Princess Diana, right, also, like what had
Speaker 4: trouble with eating disorders and like with her in her
Speaker 4: time ascending to being in the royal family and all
Speaker 4: the stress that comes along with.
Speaker 3: That's the thing.
Speaker 4: It's like there's so much dark shit going on with
Speaker 4: the Royal family too that it feels like it could
Speaker 4: be anything like honestly, and they may have traded her
Speaker 4: like with aliens for some technology or some shit and
Speaker 4: be like, yeah, I don't know, man, like they wanted
Speaker 4: an infinite fuel source that they traded aliens for her
Speaker 4: for they were big fans, I guess.
Speaker 1: Give us your princess, Yes, what is something you think
Speaker 1: is overrated?
Speaker 5: Right now, I'm gonna say yoga is overrated because I've
Speaker 5: been doing it a long time and I'm still really
Speaker 5: tight in my hips and i do everything I'm supposed
Speaker 5: to do, and I'm a little annoyed, like when does this?
Speaker 5: When does this change?
Speaker 4: Is there is there a specific like is someone selling
Speaker 4: you sham yoga and just kind of being like, yeah,
Speaker 4: and that's yoga, Laurie.
Speaker 3: I'll be back next week and we'll just can then,
Speaker 3: Like the.
Speaker 5: Teachers always, as you're doing the poses they promise you know,
Speaker 5: this does this, this does this, and I do like
Speaker 5: hot yoga and uh and I haven't improved on any
Speaker 5: of my poses in years, no matter how how hard
Speaker 5: I try. And it's really the hip tightness. And yeah,
Speaker 5: i feel like I've been duped, but I'm also addicted,
Speaker 5: so it won't end. I'll just be unsatisfied.
Speaker 1: I have a friend who is a yoga like teacher,
Speaker 1: has been on the cover of like yoga magazines, is
Speaker 1: like really like a yoga influencer and has had to
Speaker 1: have hip surgery like multiple times because yoga is like
Speaker 1: really fucking hard on the hips. I guess really.
Speaker 4: Those are and those are yoga yoga based injuries.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, wows like, man, you gotta quit the yoga, man, right,
Speaker 1: you got to knock it off with the yoga.
Speaker 5: Is it possible? My hips are trying to save me.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Not like get us out of the hot room, right,
Speaker 1: sit down on.
Speaker 5: A chair, try the lottis.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: They're like, yeah, reformer will work. Wonders.
Speaker 4: They're like, the hips are telling you, like Laurie, where
Speaker 4: this is it for us? We're where we're at it,
Speaker 4: so let's not let's not go any further standing.
Speaker 5: Bow is not for you, so stop drying. Yo. It's interesting.
Speaker 5: I didn't realize that.
Speaker 4: I wonder if you could seek damages like that.
Speaker 1: We're like, you know, I've been doing yoga for years,
Speaker 1: look at my range of motion. It has not improved.
Speaker 1: I feel like I should get some money back on
Speaker 1: some level.
Speaker 5: But I guess maybe, you know, like all yoga teachers
Speaker 5: only have yoga clothes to offer, Like I would just
Speaker 5: get some some old short.
Speaker 6: Used yoga mats and some blocks. They're like, hey, I
Speaker 6: got well, I got some new blocks. There they're still
Speaker 6: in the there's on the packaging, so that's gotta be
Speaker 6: worth like like thirty bucks, yeah, a couple of Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was just talking to my friend about how inflexible
Speaker 1: I am, and like there's part of me that's like
Speaker 1: this is this is when you're supposed to start like
Speaker 1: stretching and really get flexible or else I'm gonna be injured.
Speaker 1: But like I still I just like can't get myself
Speaker 1: to do that because the results just like aren't. I
Speaker 1: don't know, you should try. The results are not getting injured.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, but also too, you will really it does
Speaker 4: like it it sort of reverberates through your body.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well tight and doing that has relieved like some
Speaker 1: tightness here and there.
Speaker 3: So I don't know. There's look into mobility. Man, it's
Speaker 3: about the mobility too.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 3: You gotta keep those keep those joints.
Speaker 1: I'm very mobile. I walk a lot.
Speaker 3: I just can't bend my knees.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so walking it's like walking on stilt.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the same way. He can't touch his toes
Speaker 5: without betting his knees. And he's only said team. I
Speaker 5: do feel like flexibility is like something you are born
Speaker 5: with or maybe if you do gymnastics when you're eight. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you know, really hardcore maybe you'll keep it, but it's
Speaker 5: hard to get more.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, plus I've got these really strong hammis, you know,
Speaker 1: just like quaking with energy at all times.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, I was going to say, miles of somebody who
Speaker 1: can like pull his foot over his head, so it's
Speaker 1: rich for him to be like, oh yeah, dude.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I saw someone in the bottom. It's the zoom. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it is what it is.
Speaker 1: You should try it, man, Jack, go ahead, let's see
Speaker 1: what you got, dude, it is what it is.
Speaker 3: You don't read your own You don't read.
Speaker 4: You're the soul of your foot like a palm reading.
Speaker 5: Did you when you were a kid, did you do
Speaker 5: like a stretchy kind of sport?
Speaker 3: No, No, I played.
Speaker 4: I played ice hockey, for that's like the sport I
Speaker 4: played the most as a kid.
Speaker 3: So nothing like it.
Speaker 4: But I always I just remember like my cousin's doing
Speaker 4: it when I was like four years three or four
Speaker 4: years old, and I was like, let me see if
Speaker 4: I can do that, and that shit just went and
Speaker 4: yeah yeah, and then ever since then it's but then
Speaker 4: like in like my mom would always just be like kids'
Speaker 4: bodies are just flexible. Kid's bodies are just flexible. But
Speaker 4: she's also really flexible too, like.
Speaker 1: My mom can also get I think she could bite
Speaker 1: her own tone nails if she wanted to.
Speaker 4: So that's that's really the mark. Can you bite your
Speaker 4: own tone? And why would you not want to exactly
Speaker 4: test how strong those teeth are?
Speaker 1: Laurie, what's something you think is underrated?
Speaker 5: I guess well, if I'm going to go sports wise,
Speaker 5: let's say swimming is underrated, you know, as an Olympic sport,
Speaker 5: Synchronized swimming is underrated. Yeah, It's absolutely my favorite thing.
Speaker 5: It's so beautiful and difficult and anytime you post a
Speaker 5: clip so and post the clip of Martin Short and
Speaker 5: Harry Sheer from SNL and it's like, guys, can can
Speaker 5: these athletes just do one Olympic? One Olympics for that
Speaker 5: happing to see that clip? Please?
Speaker 4: It is I mean, it's iconic, but it's it's one
Speaker 4: of those things that I remember you the second you try.
Speaker 4: That's when you have respect for synchronized swimmers because you're like, oh, okay,
Speaker 4: what they're doing under well, okay, I can stay inverted underwater.
Speaker 4: And then you're you're like fucking flailing because you can't
Speaker 4: do like those like micro balance paddles that they do
Speaker 4: like their hands and yeah, respect believe that.
Speaker 5: But they all have to do them exactly the same, so,
Speaker 5: you know, but the eight of them and their hands
Speaker 5: are right next to each other and they can't mess up,
Speaker 5: and their legs have to say, their feet have to
Speaker 5: you know, meet at the top that you can have
Speaker 5: one foot you know, one person's feed higher than the other.
Speaker 5: So it's so hard.
Speaker 3: The team, the team.
Speaker 5: Version of it, you know, just the individual stuff on
Speaker 5: its own is really difficult too.
Speaker 3: But man, is.
Speaker 4: There individual like dancing kind of it used to be.
Speaker 5: Like synchronized with the music. That's what they That's what
Speaker 5: they meant.
Speaker 3: But like, oh right, got it?
Speaker 5: No, I mean like individually learning to do all those
Speaker 5: skills and then there's eight of you together learning to
Speaker 5: do it so that you're all you're you're as.
Speaker 3: One, right right right? Holy shit, there's eight.
Speaker 5: Of them there.
Speaker 3: I think they're lost powers.
Speaker 5: I'm trying to remember. It seems like at least six
Speaker 5: to eight on the in the team.
Speaker 1: Team.
Speaker 3: That's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that ship might as well be like a
Speaker 1: magic trick to me. I'm just like there's something I
Speaker 1: don't understand because that is looks completely impossible to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is really impressive.
Speaker 1: Synchronized diving. Yeah, that was pretty fun. That's like very
Speaker 1: meditative to just like watch people do that over and
Speaker 1: over again. I got into like the last Olympics. I
Speaker 1: would just like sit there and watch that for like
Speaker 1: an hour straight.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's very cool looking. I like when they let
Speaker 5: these little sneak the sports in the Olympics, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody made up four years ago.
Speaker 5: By accident when they did the same sim as your friend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it got invented, like when somebody was trying to
Speaker 1: break againness Book of World Records, just like trying to
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe most dives together. Yeah yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean because in twenty twenty eight, isn't we're gonna have
Speaker 1: flag football, aren't we?
Speaker 3: In the LA Olympics? So is that right?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Flag?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's out there, so and I means, like America,
Speaker 4: you better clean the fuck up.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what kids are playing these days. I
Speaker 1: feel like like young kids aren't playing like Pop Warner football,
Speaker 1: at least not the ones who grow up in New
Speaker 1: York City, Like I have nephews who just play like
Speaker 1: flag football, that's the version of football that they play.
Speaker 3: Yeah, why not?
Speaker 1: I mean, which makes sense to me.
Speaker 4: A lot of cautionary tales out there for banging your
Speaker 4: fucking skull all over and over and you know turns
Speaker 4: out yeah, not being able to like navigate your own neighborhood.
Speaker 4: Did you ever see that that one that like ct
Speaker 4: documentary there's like the one soccer player, this woman who
Speaker 4: just headed the ball so many times, like it affected
Speaker 4: like she needed like GPS to get around her town
Speaker 4: because it was just like affecting so many things like that.
Speaker 3: And that's when I was like, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
Speaker 5: I read but I didn't. I didn't know that documentary.
Speaker 5: That's terrible. Was that ever gonna get better or she
Speaker 5: just permanently.
Speaker 4: I'm not did not feel hopeful.
Speaker 1: It was sort of like it was it was sort
Speaker 1: of covering like all kinds of sort of content. It
Speaker 1: was just like a it was sort of showing many
Speaker 1: different contact sports athletes and just sort of the varying
Speaker 1: degrees in which like these like repetitive head impacts kind
Speaker 1: of like were affecting people because it doesn't seem like
Speaker 1: across the board thing with heading the soccer ball at
Speaker 1: least I'm not. I didn't know about that, but that
Speaker 1: was like the first time I saw him, I was like,
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Yeah, Hey he got his bell rung.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. Yeah, that's all. That's all.
Speaker 4: You just got all Get back up there, man, Back
Speaker 4: up there.
Speaker 1: Man. This kid can take a lick and keep on
Speaker 1: ticking those stars you're seeing. That's your future, kid, when
Speaker 1: you're a superstar, Lean into it.
Speaker 3: Lean into it.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 3: It's so brutal.
Speaker 1: By the way, I can't navigate my neighborhood without GPS.
Speaker 3: But that's another star.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that another time. Maybe I need a
Speaker 1: documentary crew.
Speaker 3: Follow me here.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back. We're back for a segment we call
Speaker 1: we hate to see It, del We folks, we don't
Speaker 1: hate to see it. So two stories in this segment.
Speaker 1: We got Elon Musk losing out them fifty five billion
Speaker 1: dollar payday because a Delaware judge ruled to strike down
Speaker 1: the payment package. Now the company will have to propose
Speaker 1: a new, less whe wildly deranged compensation package unless he appeals,
Speaker 1: which he will and probably when. But people are pointing
Speaker 1: out this leaves a large chunk of his fortune hanging
Speaker 1: in limbo. Yes, buddy, oh man.
Speaker 5: Yeah, is that why he tweeted, don't incorporate in Delaware?
Speaker 5: And I didn't know that's that's probably why. But I mean,
Speaker 5: the reason he incorporated in Delaware, that's why all the
Speaker 5: credit card companies are they have barely they're very corporate friendly.
Speaker 5: So he must have been quite shocked that a judge wasn't.
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess it's because it's a publicly traded company, Tesla.
Speaker 1: Right, So yeah, and also it's a flagrant abuse of
Speaker 1: Oh it's crazy money.
Speaker 3: Yeah it is.
Speaker 1: If you can't get away with that shil in Delaware.
Speaker 1: If there's a financial crime, you can't get away with Delaware. Man,
Speaker 1: Like you're up, bud.
Speaker 5: That's like Monaco going, come on, that's a.
Speaker 1: Bit much sense, really, that much like, yeah, the concept
Speaker 1: of having too much dip on your chip, I do
Speaker 1: not see that happening there. It's funny because like I
Speaker 1: was reading like Barons and other financial news to just
Speaker 1: to see what like their take is, and one of
Speaker 1: them just says it wasn't. This from Barons said quote
Speaker 1: it wasn't clear what options Tesla or Musk might have.
Speaker 3: In terms of pursuing an appeal.
Speaker 1: Oh good, so they have to like it, says, yeah,
Speaker 1: they would need to create a new comp package from
Speaker 1: us that can supersede this. Looking ahead in locked Muskin
Speaker 1: for Tesla through twenty thirty, I mean, that's just more
Speaker 1: stuff that don't understand. But the judge, it's interesting how
Speaker 1: the judge was just like, y'all, like what are you
Speaker 1: what are you guys doing here? Yeah, I mean this
Speaker 1: like something's going to have to give at some point,
Speaker 1: Like we can't just let the richest people in the
Speaker 1: world keep getting paying themselves more and more money. So
Speaker 1: I was not aware of this as an option of
Speaker 1: a judge just being like, no, well.
Speaker 4: It's because someone had to sue. A shareholder had to
Speaker 4: sue for that to happen.
Speaker 1: But maybe this will cause other shareholders to sue and
Speaker 1: you know, do like inject like a small sliver of
Speaker 1: sanity into the financial system that we're living under. His
Speaker 1: defense of the payday is and this is like truly wild.
Speaker 1: Like I've heard people say that he's doing this like
Speaker 1: space thing as a grift to like distract from just
Speaker 1: how much he's robbing everybody of money. But he literally
Speaker 1: said it's a way to get humanity to Mars when
Speaker 1: describing his fifty five billion dollar payday.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, So just straight up that's that's the
Speaker 5: thing only he wants. I don't know anyone who wants
Speaker 5: to go to Mars, right, you know, man, you guys
Speaker 5: do either.
Speaker 3: No, not at all.
Speaker 1: I mean we even saw what happened to people who
Speaker 1: want to go see the fucking Titanic. I'm like, we're good, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm fine.
Speaker 4: Here, just toiling on Terra Firma, okay, yes. And it's
Speaker 4: just like also interesting because like the way he said
Speaker 4: it too, is like he it up the way to
Speaker 4: get the humanity with to Mar's line with so Tesla
Speaker 4: can assist in potentially achieving that, like as if Oh,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Elon right, okay, so we're good here then yeah.
Speaker 1: The criticisms from this judge, it's aid the judge McCormick
Speaker 1: criticized the board's quote deeply flawed process and pointed out
Speaker 1: that the members of the compensation committee had long standing
Speaker 1: relationships with Musk. Tesla was quote unable to prove that
Speaker 1: the stockholder vault was fully informed because the proxy statement
Speaker 1: inaccurately described key directors as independent and misleadingly omitted details
Speaker 1: about the process, in which is just like elon being like,
Speaker 1: just help me out.
Speaker 5: So was it like May Musk and kimbro Musk right
Speaker 5: his family?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean he's doing financial crimes. But all
Speaker 1: these people are doing financial crimes all the time to
Speaker 1: pay themselves billions of dollars. So I mean at times
Speaker 1: I've been like, I don't know, like could a judge
Speaker 1: who like knows how much a banana costs down here,
Speaker 1: like with the rest of us who's like been grocery
Speaker 1: shopping in the past ten years, Like could they reach
Speaker 1: out and just be like, all, right, after fifteen billion,
Speaker 1: Like can we say that's enough? You're right, you have
Speaker 1: more money than you'll ever be able to you know,
Speaker 1: like some legal ruling. It seems like for now it's
Speaker 1: just going to be like when they flagrantly try to
Speaker 1: do just pay themselves the entire GDP of a small
Speaker 1: European nation in one like in one check, they're gonna
Speaker 1: be like, I don't think we can do that.
Speaker 5: And I don't know, I mean, Tesla, how do they
Speaker 5: have that much money. Is that money borrowed from a bank? Like,
Speaker 5: are they making that much of a profit. They seem
Speaker 5: to be, you know, collapsing and being recalled all the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't get it.
Speaker 4: It's so I mean, like, I mean that they are
Speaker 4: selling cars, you know, and I think but apparently that
Speaker 4: that package would have fluctuated based on the stock price apparently,
Speaker 4: but it's all based off the company's valuation as well.
Speaker 4: But it's interesting to see that the people that are
Speaker 4: defending and be like, no Elon should get that, like
Speaker 4: sort of the line there is that it basically keeps
Speaker 4: him focused. It's like incentivizing him to focus on Tesla
Speaker 4: rather than all this other shit, which is so wild.
Speaker 4: You're like, that's the dumbest excuse I've ever heard. It's like, well,
Speaker 4: we got to pay him this much or else he's
Speaker 4: gonna like have his head literally in the fucking clouds
Speaker 4: trying to get to Mars or fucking up X or
Speaker 4: whatever the fuck.
Speaker 1: So it's like an enabling parent whose son is on
Speaker 1: drugs trying to like, yeah, we gotta get it, Like
Speaker 1: we're gonna give him a bunch of money for getting
Speaker 1: an a in math and that'll keep his keep him straight.
Speaker 3: He just told you he'd use that money on drugs.
Speaker 3: The drugs actually helped me keep my head straight.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so this, I mean, this is you could
Speaker 1: potential mom and dad, you could potentially help achieve my
Speaker 1: goal of yeah, of being fucking high as fuck all
Speaker 1: the time, slash going to Mars.
Speaker 5: I'm just distracted. There's still bros that support him as
Speaker 5: much as they did before he took over Twitter. You know,
Speaker 5: it's been such a such a mess, and and I
Speaker 5: feel like we all see he's in competent and incapable
Speaker 5: of doing what he says he wants to do, but
Speaker 5: there's still people like super behind him. I think they
Speaker 5: have a lot of Sheiba coins and they're really hoping
Speaker 5: that turns around.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they are upside down on doge coin and they're.
Speaker 5: Like, oh, yes, that's right.
Speaker 4: So ro Ron, Hey, you know, you know your ship coins,
Speaker 4: so but you knew it was also a fucking ship coin.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean it's like, I think it's also
Speaker 4: he sort of serves as like this aspirational place to go,
Speaker 4: as like a mediocre white guy, and yeah, with enough.
Speaker 4: I mean, if your dad owns an Emerald mind, then
Speaker 4: the sky is the fucking limit. But I think for
Speaker 4: many of that gets yeah exactly, We're like, he just
Speaker 4: did it on his own, despite this the his father's
Speaker 4: dynastic wealth. But I think that's the other thing is
Speaker 4: like you see these guys excuse it all the time.
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, but he's like trying to do this,
Speaker 4: and like you were just haters and da da, And
Speaker 4: I think, you know, we're in an era where people
Speaker 4: just worship these sort of like fucking they think he's
Speaker 4: like Iron Man from the Marvel movies.
Speaker 3: And they're like, yeah, man, dude, he's fucking he's got it.
Speaker 3: This is the yea nice level shit.
Speaker 5: The problem with America is everyone thinks they're just one
Speaker 5: lottery to get away from being that, you know, And
Speaker 5: so they're like, well, I don't want I don't want
Speaker 5: those taxes. I don't want him to be text because
Speaker 5: what if I become a billionaire.
Speaker 1: I'd want to have more than fifteen billion dollars.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Okay, here's a quick test for you aspirational billionaire.
Speaker 4: And if you don't answer yes to the first question,
Speaker 4: the answer is you are not going to be a billionaire.
Speaker 4: Question number one do your parents have five hundred thousand
Speaker 4: dollars in liquid assets they can just give you to
Speaker 4: start a little project. No, okay, then your your odds
Speaker 4: just went down to yeah, very low lower and snake titties.
Speaker 3: Nipples?
Speaker 5: Is your the day of the snake or is it
Speaker 5: day that.
Speaker 3: We said serpent?
Speaker 1: Yeah, in that serpent's nippbles, in that you ain't.
Speaker 5: Bore the more formal serpents nipples, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Exactly low and the medical term all right.
Speaker 1: Uh. And then also sad news for Christen Cinema. I mean,
Speaker 1: she's not out, but she is down at the moment.
Speaker 1: She raised five hundred and ninety five thousand dollars in
Speaker 1: the final three months of twenty twenty three, which sounds
Speaker 1: like a lot of money to me. It is less
Speaker 1: than one fifth of the total that her main Democratic challenger,
Speaker 1: Representative Ruben Diego, said his campaign raised during that same period.
Speaker 1: If like, for an incumbent to get like destroyed by
Speaker 1: five five x like with a challenger is pretty pretty bad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, she put she put all of her effort
Speaker 4: into guaranteeing that everyone would absolutely be like, get out
Speaker 4: of my face, you absolute disgrace, because except corporations yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 4: well the second she went second she left the Democratic Party,
Speaker 4: like come on here, like what do you expect you
Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like you're an independent now, so
Speaker 4: of course, all the donors that had put you on
Speaker 4: your way to the Senate the first time, they're just
Speaker 4: getting behind gyego.
Speaker 1: What was a strategy? What was your plan? Yeah, dumb, dumb,
Speaker 1: I don't know. All these like corporations and like rich
Speaker 1: people who are really nice to me all the time,
Speaker 1: like they probably will help me stay in power.
Speaker 5: It's like, I mean, if she is not re elected,
Speaker 5: she gets escorted to the you know, boards of these places,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, like take care of each
Speaker 5: other afterwards.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so I mean probably smart in the long run,
Speaker 1: but it looks bad for her political aspirations and smart
Speaker 1: like in a very self certain way throwing the world.
Speaker 8: Yeah, a serpent move, some might say a serpenteen move, absolutely,
Speaker 8: because yeah, I think now with the way that race
Speaker 8: is shaking up, she's trying to tack to the right
Speaker 8: kind of because the problem is with Carrie Lake.
Speaker 1: If you remember the bizarro gubernatorial candidate who refused to
Speaker 1: like be like it was stolen from me and annoyed everyone.
Speaker 4: Also, yes, like the Republicans on that side of the
Speaker 4: race are like attacking cinema to be like, she voted
Speaker 4: for ninety four percent of the Biden agenda, which is true.
Speaker 4: It's like she just she just dug her heels in
Speaker 4: for certain things that completely watered down a lot of bills,
Speaker 4: and a lot of people remember her for that. So
Speaker 4: I think because recently she for the first time voted
Speaker 4: against a judicial pick that Biden put forward, and everyone's like,
Speaker 4: what the fuck, Like you've been one hundred percent on
Speaker 4: those and then suddenly this like black magistrate judge. She
Speaker 4: was just like, no, I guess not, and was like thinking,
Speaker 4: like maybe that will change my percentages a little bit,
Speaker 4: maybe to ninety two percent. Yeah, so people will see
Speaker 4: me as a quote independent.
Speaker 1: But yeah, she's she serves herself so she can see
Speaker 1: herself out the door. Does not seem to be going
Speaker 1: according to plan because during that same period she spent
Speaker 1: way more than she raised, so raised five hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety five thousand, spent seven hundred and forty nine thousand,
Speaker 1: including hundreds of thousands on fundraising, consulting, and digital advertising.
Speaker 5: And probably cute outfits. I mean she dressed in a
Speaker 5: fun way. Yes, that that that I think that that
Speaker 5: led everyone to think she'd be cool, you know.
Speaker 3: Just cool. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Also, only seven seven hundred on paying campaign staff, so my.
Speaker 4: God, I mean she's trying to raise money. Does you
Speaker 4: remember there was like that story like the beginning of
Speaker 4: last year about how she was like selling her clothes
Speaker 4: on Facebook marketplace?
Speaker 1: Oh real? Yeah? Yeah, So she's fun. She's got a
Speaker 1: few different gigs. You know, she got some stuff in
Speaker 1: the air, she got some irons in the fire, so
Speaker 1: don't worry about her. She does still have nearly eleven
Speaker 1: million dollars in her campaign account, so she's probably gonna
Speaker 1: be okay.
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, unless she decides to keep it, right, Could she
Speaker 5: figure out a way to keep it if she decides
Speaker 5: I'm not going to win anyway, and why put up
Speaker 5: with this? Isn't there I mean, it's a violation, but
Speaker 5: there's probably legal ways to keep that money.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's not that easy when it's all in
Speaker 4: a campaign account. So she'd have to like be engaged
Speaker 4: in a campaign to be able to get through a
Speaker 4: lot of it. And that's when people are like, I
Speaker 4: need it for my clothing. I need it for this
Speaker 4: and then sure there'll be some ethics violations going up,
Speaker 4: But what's an ethics violation these days?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Or Donald Trump gets elected president makes everything legal. It's
Speaker 1: just like the perge twenty four hours a day, three
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five days a year. All right. The
Speaker 1: Z insurrection is upon us. Yeah, As somebody who used
Speaker 1: to be addicted to nicotine, I have dabbled with Zen.
Speaker 3: Yeah in the past.
Speaker 4: You know about that pure nicotina pouch.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 1: I do know about Zen. It's not I did not
Speaker 1: find it very satisfying.
Speaker 4: Well, it's it's a tobacco free, just all nicotine pouch.
Speaker 3: You know. They can just pack right there in your lip. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And apparently it's like one of the fastest grow like
Speaker 4: one of the faster growing nicotine products in terms of popularity,
Speaker 4: and it seems to be attracting more and more younger users.
Speaker 4: And there's like an entire subculture of like video reviews
Speaker 4: or like fucking this term Z influencers. Yes, that kids
Speaker 4: are being proposed to on TikTok, and that concerned Senator
Speaker 4: Chuck Schumer, and he basically made a statement calling on
Speaker 4: the FDA and the FDC just like you want to
Speaker 4: look into this, like maybe we need some more oversight
Speaker 4: in products like this. If kids are just like seeing
Speaker 4: this stuff and like watching videos of a dud been
Speaker 4: like how many fucking zin bombs.
Speaker 3: Can I pack in my mouth? It won't go?
Speaker 4: And you know, like like maybe there's something going on,
Speaker 4: and that just that statement about being like, can we
Speaker 4: look into this product that like young kids are kind
Speaker 4: of miners are getting into just set off a bunch
Speaker 4: of just a right wing screen fest. The terms insurrection.
Speaker 4: I wish I had coined that. That was actually Marjorie
Speaker 4: Taylor Green who said that she said, Wow, this calls
Speaker 4: for a z insurrection and then like other people are
Speaker 4: saying she's talking about just because Democrats want to legalize
Speaker 4: all drugs.
Speaker 1: Representative Richard Hudson said that quote, big brother Schumer doesn't
Speaker 1: want us to chew or smoke.
Speaker 4: John Federman, Yeah, John Fetterman, who has recently, you know,
Speaker 4: shown his independent streak or his you know, when he's
Speaker 4: not cosplaying as Apac Shakur basically said tobacco is legal,
Speaker 4: and he's got more of like a freedom aspect about
Speaker 4: you like increased oversight he's the male cinema.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Like there's like a nicotine subreddit where some dude, like
Speaker 4: a highly upvoted post was like, dude, if they get
Speaker 4: if they fucking try and take this in, I'll make
Speaker 4: January sixth look like a tea party, which I think
Speaker 4: was a bit hyper hyperbolic, but still a lot of
Speaker 4: people were like, dude, they better not, Man, they better not.
Speaker 1: People get mad when you fuck with their nicotine, you know,
Speaker 1: Like it's so I could I could see there being
Speaker 1: just a lot of very pathetic insurrections happening, just like
Speaker 1: the just most depressing temper tantrums you've ever seen. Well,
Speaker 1: because you even see like how the tobacco lobby like
Speaker 1: they deploy like these astro turf like smokers' rights groups
Speaker 1: like back in the day and like these like people
Speaker 1: to sort of create these outrage campaigns like on behalf
Speaker 1: of the industry. And clearly many of these people are
Speaker 1: open to donations from that industry, so of course they're
Speaker 1: gonna be.
Speaker 3: Up here and be like, it's just what the fuck's
Speaker 3: going on with this?
Speaker 1: And like the research in terms of what nicotine only
Speaker 1: products do is pretty slim because most of our understanding
Speaker 1: with nicotine is like through tobacco products, So this is
Speaker 1: like a tobacco free nicotine product, which is I think
Speaker 1: created this sort of like sort of gray area where
Speaker 1: people can claim all.
Speaker 4: Kinds of shit because it's just nicotine. Because like Peter
Speaker 4: Teal has said that using nicotine patches will raise your
Speaker 4: IQ ten fucking points.
Speaker 3: He's like, that's that's true.
Speaker 1: Oh well, yes, are pretty problematic, but well I'll probably
Speaker 1: talking about the wrong guy.
Speaker 3: Peter Teal aren't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's you know, it's like a stimulant, so you
Speaker 4: can see how that might create like you know, kind
Speaker 4: of get your your head going. This other guy who
Speaker 4: works for the communications director for the State Freedom Caucus
Speaker 4: Network just a bunch of just right wing nonsense network,
Speaker 4: so quote it gets a creative juice is flowing during
Speaker 4: the day when I'm working and shit posting and whatnot.
Speaker 4: But I think Tucker Carlson seems to be the biggest
Speaker 4: influencer when it comes to the rights love of nicotine,
Speaker 4: because like we've heard him say this like all the time.
Speaker 4: He's always talked up nicotine is like this wonder thing,
Speaker 4: and he was recently, dude, he was recently on the
Speaker 4: Full Send podcast actually about ten months ago, talking about
Speaker 4: his love for zins and just I just want you
Speaker 4: to listen to the way this guy is like preaching
Speaker 4: the fucking Zin gospel in this interview.
Speaker 3: This is Tucker Carlson.
Speaker 9: Don't get me going.
Speaker 3: So I use it.
Speaker 9: You know, every second I'm awake and in bed. I'm
Speaker 9: not embarrassed of it. Sleep with one in or no,
Speaker 9: I don't because I don't want to choke on it.
Speaker 9: But seconds I read in bed, so seconds before I
Speaker 9: fall asleep, I take it out. I've never had one
Speaker 9: of my dogs eat a zin pouch, though I'm not
Speaker 9: against it.
Speaker 3: Because I think they would take it. But yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: not embarrassed of it at all.
Speaker 5: I can't answer.
Speaker 9: And what I find so interesting back to my and
Speaker 9: I don't want to like reveal myself as a crackpot
Speaker 9: on your show. No, no, But I think the hostility
Speaker 9: to nicotine is crying telling. I mean, obviously cigarette smoking
Speaker 9: can be.
Speaker 3: Bad for you.
Speaker 9: It's not bad for everybody, but over time it can
Speaker 9: hurt cigarette smoking for loved ones die from it. Nicotine
Speaker 9: it's not a carcinogen. Actually, they're all kinds of medical benefits.
Speaker 9: Of it which are documented.
Speaker 3: Buckle up.
Speaker 9: It increases mental acuity, raises your testosterone level. It may
Speaker 9: be a prophylactic against Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Speaker 1: Cut to full sen Prodcasts Full said podcast. Okay, we
Speaker 1: don't want to We don't want to get dinged for
Speaker 1: medical misinformation here. Yeah, so you hear that shit, libs.
Speaker 1: It will protect you from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Sleep dimulents
Speaker 1: are good for you, and being addicted to a thing
Speaker 1: is good for you. It's good for your mental health,
Speaker 1: your spiritual health.
Speaker 3: It's good.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be a better person when you're addicted to
Speaker 1: this product.
Speaker 5: It doesn't look like it's making him exercise.
Speaker 1: Though, like, oh he's gotten I want.
Speaker 5: To stimulate something that gets me on a treadmill a
Speaker 5: little bit. But also, there's such shortages of RIDDLING and
Speaker 5: ad add and ADHD drugs that I mean, some people
Speaker 5: have to turn to some thing, right is that? Is
Speaker 5: this a viable replacement.
Speaker 3: For you know what?
Speaker 4: You should probably right there the lobby's talking points there,
Speaker 4: because I haven't heard anyone be like and.
Speaker 1: With eighty HD shortage, what else are we supposed to have?
Speaker 1: Our nation students used to stay focused so they can
Speaker 1: achieve their dreams.
Speaker 5: It's ry, guys, I just got one hundred dollars for saying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your price is way too low.
Speaker 4: But wait, Lori just changed Lurie just changed her display
Speaker 4: name on Twitter. You're Lori kill martins In Okay. Very
Speaker 4: interesting but coincidence.
Speaker 1: I was say I was addicted to like smoking cessation
Speaker 1: nicotine delivery things for like a decade basically recently got
Speaker 1: off them. I have to say I'm much better. I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm much healthier and happier without them. But
Speaker 1: I I was definitely like somebody who like had nicotine
Speaker 1: gum in a lot of the time, like right the
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson. Yeah, it's a little like it actually calmed
Speaker 1: me down, Like I would do it before bed, like Tucker. Uh.
Speaker 1: I get most of my health regimens from Tucker Carlston.
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I would do it to relax because
Speaker 1: I do. I. Yeah, I think there's like some add
Speaker 1: stuff in there.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: Well, the fact that you said it actually calms me down,
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, notedants calmed me down.
Speaker 1: But I've been such an asshole for the past year.
Speaker 4: But it's just interesting because this is just part of
Speaker 4: like the culture war battle to like sort of paint
Speaker 4: the left or Democrats is like wanting to legalize all drugs.
Speaker 3: But nicotine bad.
Speaker 4: And they also have like this like really idealized view
Speaker 4: of like that like coincided with like this American like
Speaker 4: this great era of American innovation when like all the
Speaker 4: great inventors were fucking chaining it up, man like, and
Speaker 4: look what happened to us.
Speaker 3: We're fucking chicken shit.
Speaker 4: Now it's because we don't smoke cigarettes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's that easy.
Speaker 4: It's the it's the fucking cigarettes that may have contributed
Speaker 4: to the waning of the innovation here.
Speaker 3: But yeah, like it.
Speaker 4: Should be noted that Schumer wasn't talking about banning them,
Speaker 4: just increased scrutiny since parents are noticing their kids are
Speaker 4: talking about it more and just catching their kids with
Speaker 4: this shit. So it's just sort of more of a
Speaker 4: continuation of like the vaping tuggle war that we saw
Speaker 4: like when jewels were like all the kids were doing
Speaker 4: jewels and shit, they're like the flavors are too much
Speaker 4: like candy that appeals to kids, and it's just more like, yeah,
Speaker 4: they also these things have flavors too, and they're just saying, well,
Speaker 4: maybe maybe some oversight there.
Speaker 5: But it's almost like, look, if kids, fourteen year olds
Speaker 5: can work in a meat packing factory and shoot an
Speaker 5: AK forty seven, they should be allowed to have a
Speaker 5: nicotine patch, right or some sort of that's their argument.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe like this because smoking cessation things like things
Speaker 1: that are just nicotine like nicotine patches, and like they're
Speaker 1: like little pellets, Like they're so expensive compared to the
Speaker 1: things that actually have tobacco in them. They're like crazy expensive.
Speaker 1: So that seems to be like what Zen. The innovation
Speaker 1: that Zen has offered is that it's like a non
Speaker 1: tobacco nicotine delivery system that is not like seventy dollars
Speaker 1: for you know, a couple of days worth. So yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, let kids have nicotine patches at school. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
Speaker 1: talk about the biggest the largest cruise ship in the
Speaker 1: history of the world.
Speaker 3: And we're back.
Speaker 1: I'm still not over the part where he was like,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind if my dogs ate my nicotine patches.
Speaker 3: You know, I think he'd like it.
Speaker 1: But you're not supposed to eat them and they weigh
Speaker 1: like one fourth what you weigh And.
Speaker 4: The beginning part of that anecdote is there, he says,
Speaker 4: it's just it's the way he sets it up. It
Speaker 4: sounds like a fucking ad where he's talking about how
Speaker 4: this guy that was dating his daughter was like using
Speaker 4: him and then on a new at a New Year's party.
Speaker 3: Like Tucker's like, hey, what's that and he's like, and
Speaker 3: he told me it's the future?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 3: No, yeah, Like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, if you want to hear let me
Speaker 4: let me play it because it's it's pretty aggressive.
Speaker 9: Like anyway, so a boy that one of my daughters
Speaker 9: was dating New Year's twenty twenty was at my house
Speaker 9: and he pulls this out.
Speaker 3: I'm like, what is that? He goes, It's the future.
Speaker 9: It's the future. It's a non tobacco nicotine delivery device
Speaker 9: where you get all the whole grain good to some nicotine,
Speaker 9: but none of the downside.
Speaker 4: That's that's like a fucking ad word for a word too.
Speaker 3: It's a nicotine.
Speaker 4: It's a tobacco free nicotine delivery device. It's like, did
Speaker 4: that kid work for his and my daughter? My daughter
Speaker 4: only dates corporate lobbyists.
Speaker 1: Right, I told my daughter, you can either bring gun
Speaker 1: lobbyists or tobacco lobbyist in this.
Speaker 4: I don't want to hear anything else.
Speaker 9: We drove to seven to eleven and I stocked up.
Speaker 9: I got all the different flavors coffee, a lot of
Speaker 9: intriguing flavors, I would say, but I stuck.
Speaker 3: Oh my, and it's been a massive life enhancer.
Speaker 9: I'd really recommend it to you.
Speaker 1: It's God. Yeah, this is making me want to do
Speaker 1: it too.
Speaker 3: A life enhancer, Tucker me something that yum yum.
Speaker 1: All right, well, speaking of the future, we have seen
Speaker 1: the future. It is the world's largest cruise ship, the
Speaker 1: Icon of the Seas Behold, embarked on its first commercial
Speaker 1: voyage this weekend. Longer than the Eiffel Tower is tall,
Speaker 1: features twenty decks, a water park, indoor waterfall, bowling alley,
Speaker 1: and the ever present sense that human is completely doomed.
Speaker 3: Yeah wow, all that?
Speaker 5: Oh, I mean, how many? How many murders can be
Speaker 5: committed on that thing?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 5: You get out to international waters twenty different decks to
Speaker 5: push someone off or you're.
Speaker 1: So right because so we're like the big thing that
Speaker 1: people are pointing out is that obviously, well, first of all,
Speaker 1: it just looks like if you've ever seen a picture
Speaker 1: of it, somebody said it was probably look like human
Speaker 1: lasagna to the workAs. But it's just it gives me
Speaker 1: anxiety to look at it, like like it looks like
Speaker 1: it would be absolutely fucking groaning to stay upright in
Speaker 1: the water. And like the President of Royal Caribbean's like,
Speaker 1: this the biggest, baddest ship on the planet. I'm like,
Speaker 1: don't sound like a fucking five year old bragging about
Speaker 1: your dad's new car, Like, yeah, just de responsible with
Speaker 1: whatever this horrifying sciences that makes us possible. But it's
Speaker 1: it's a huge polluter obviously, Like it's you know, the
Speaker 1: amount of fuel that's needed. So they the way they
Speaker 1: got around that is they advertised that it uses this
Speaker 1: environmentally friendly fuel liquefied natural gas LNG and it's the
Speaker 1: cleanest burning marine fuel, which it turns out is absolutely
Speaker 1: not true. It actually ultimately emits seventy to eighty percent
Speaker 1: more greenhouse gas emissions per trip than if it used
Speaker 1: regular marine fuel. It just like takes away one one
Speaker 1: kind of emission and like blasts out a whole bunch of.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's the thing. You you missed. You missed.
Speaker 1: The real part, Jack, is that it cuts down CO
Speaker 1: two by a quarter and then methane emissions go up
Speaker 1: by like one hundred.
Speaker 3: Something like that.
Speaker 4: Well, look, we're focused on CO two man, that's the
Speaker 4: thing we're talking about. Carbon man, Carbon. Yeah, it's it's
Speaker 4: really it's uh, it's just we we love a bit
Speaker 4: of green Washington folks.
Speaker 1: But so we're we're looking at story and like there's
Speaker 1: an NGO that's filed complaints in the UK about like
Speaker 1: them breaching advertising rules by advertising it this way, and
Speaker 1: our writer jam is pointing out, but like, nothing's gonna
Speaker 1: happen in the current system because they spend so much
Speaker 1: on lobbying and the stuff that they lobby. They spend
Speaker 1: millions each year on lobbyists. Last year they spent four
Speaker 1: million dollars. And the things that they lobby over include
Speaker 1: issues ranging from sanitation and health laws to quote crime reporting.
Speaker 1: The straight up they straight up lobby to not have
Speaker 1: to report crimes.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 1: So first of all, sanitation and health laws, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't want you to be and I don't want
Speaker 1: the people making the money to be in control of
Speaker 1: like the sanitation and health laws of that.
Speaker 5: That's just what they're dumping into the sea, right or
Speaker 5: is it.
Speaker 1: Or even on board, so what they're keeping what they're
Speaker 1: allowed to do, like make us living inside of Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh god, it's not our fault if you get cholera
Speaker 1: and scarlet fever and die from diarrhea during the course
Speaker 1: of the vacation on.
Speaker 4: It, because I remember, like when at the onset of COVID,
Speaker 4: there were like all those horror stories about people stuck
Speaker 4: on cruise ships and how they just turned into like
Speaker 4: these Petrie dishes. So I'm sure part of that lobbying
Speaker 4: is like, man, don't don't make us have to like
Speaker 4: end one of our money making journeys because like fifty
Speaker 4: percent of the passengers have COVID or something like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: But by crime reporting, I'm pretty sure they mean like
Speaker 1: we don't really need to report crimes, right, like straight
Speaker 1: up just succession level. We've been letting people like just
Speaker 1: kill people on our boat.
Speaker 5: Some passengers did, just didn't come back. That's all we're reporting.
Speaker 5: We went out with one thousand and came back with
Speaker 5: nine eighty.
Speaker 1: The Mystery of the Sea, am I right, folks say,
Speaker 1: just fucking wild those are actually pretty good percentages for US.
Speaker 1: Seventy seven out of eighty is actually pretty good. We're
Speaker 1: improving our numbers the seventies. And yeah, just you know,
Speaker 1: we earlier talked about the revolving door between politics and
Speaker 1: making money. The group that is currently in charge of
Speaker 1: lobbying for the cruise ship industry headed by former White
Speaker 1: House staffer who worked with Hillary Clinton and who previously
Speaker 1: led the Democracy Alliance, a network of wealthy donors who
Speaker 1: coordinate donations to liberal organizations.
Speaker 5: So was it, do you have a name? I'm just curious.
Speaker 1: I just assumed absolutely, Craighead is the last name.
Speaker 5: Oh, I don't know, mister Head, but he's taking care
Speaker 5: of Yeah, how do you pronounce cinema? Will be ahead?
Speaker 4: Yeah? And then another guy was was Donald Rumsfelds spokesperson.
Speaker 4: You got the best of the best on this gig
Speaker 4: right now?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: But anyways, it's, uh, this thing's a monstrosity. Like there
Speaker 1: are environmental groups who are arguing that maybe cruise ships
Speaker 1: shouldn't be a thing. They only pollute, and they don't
Speaker 1: the only thing they provide is like leisure, They don't.
Speaker 5: They they do provide work for comics at the end
Speaker 5: of their careers.
Speaker 3: That's true. I mean, yeah, I don't know it.
Speaker 1: It does suck that like this would this would definitely
Speaker 1: be the thing that gets cut out before yachts, right
Speaker 1: like before the private yachts of the billionaire class.
Speaker 4: But yeah, that's what they or they just turned into
Speaker 4: a thing where it's like, well, now that there's no
Speaker 4: cruise ships, you gotta get on these like fucking yachts, man,
Speaker 4: Like that's where it's at and just you know, aspire
Speaker 4: to do the.
Speaker 3: Yacht thing now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's funny, like I was watching a video
Speaker 4: of someone like doing a vlog getting on like the
Speaker 4: Maiden Voyage, and it's it's it's nightmarish. Like I look,
Speaker 4: I'll admit it, Like I enjoy a cruise. There's something
Speaker 4: about I think I've been like my grandparents were big cruisers,
Speaker 4: and ever since then, I've been like, oh, man, Like
Speaker 4: I think I was also like coincided with me and
Speaker 4: going being in puberty and like never like always being hungry.
Speaker 4: So being on a fucking cruise ship was like I'm
Speaker 4: hungry right now and I can eat seven thousand pizzas
Speaker 4: and fries and burger and my no one, and I
Speaker 4: don't have to have the restraints of my parents been
Speaker 4: like order off the kid's menu or some shit like that. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean I haven't been in years, but like there's
Speaker 4: definitely like a I have a fondness for the activity.
Speaker 1: You're saying you contribute to that lobbying organization.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, give me.
Speaker 1: They do important war money, right.
Speaker 3: They do important work.
Speaker 4: But all that to say, I was watching this video
Speaker 4: of these people who were like I guess like vloggers
Speaker 4: who fucking just go on cruises like all the time,
Speaker 4: and it's just weird to see their level of excitement, like,
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, this is the Pearl and it's just
Speaker 4: like some shitty looking orb in the middle of the
Speaker 4: ship that like you walk through like a staircase, and
Speaker 4: then just like how low the bar is for these
Speaker 4: people to get so excited because it's it's like a
Speaker 4: fever dream on that thing. There's just so much shit
Speaker 4: crammed on top of other stuff, Like visually, it's so
Speaker 4: chaotic that I definitely don't see how like you could
Speaker 4: relax on that.
Speaker 5: But like going to how people are with Disneyland.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to say Disney adults.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and also there's that one cruise that's going to
Speaker 5: every continent for a year, right, and yeah, people are
Speaker 5: you know posting the drama and stuff on their tiktoks
Speaker 5: about yeah what it's like, you.
Speaker 4: Know, and there's like a beef between the World Travelers
Speaker 4: and the segmentors. I don't know if you oh, that's right,
Speaker 4: it's yeah some people. Yeah, some people had to buy
Speaker 4: that like nine month around the World voyage everything up
Speaker 4: like up front for every single thing. And then because
Speaker 4: the sales were kind of like relax, they're like they
Speaker 4: allowed people to just purchase different segments of the voyage,
Speaker 4: and so all those people are like like apparently I've
Speaker 4: seen a few tiktoks.
Speaker 3: Like being excluded from all these groups on Facebook because
Speaker 3: they don't want segmentors involved, because they feel they're really
Speaker 3: pissed off that segmentors got a better deal than them,
Speaker 3: and they just all they can do, like, and these
Speaker 3: people like who bought the World package are like all
Speaker 3: I'm like, all I'm I am is being reminded every
Speaker 3: day for nine months that I overpaid for some shit
Speaker 3: and I fucking hate and you're like.
Speaker 5: I mean I love that both groups are unhappy because
Speaker 5: they hate them both.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, truly you got Lori segmentors of the world.
Speaker 3: They lose, we win.
