Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this Monday week trending
Speaker 1: episode of Yeah Yeah, I'm Jack O'Brien. That is mister
Speaker 1: Miles Gray. Yeah, how are you doing.
Speaker 2: I'm good, baby. It was nice to see you and
Speaker 2: everybody in Herson. We were in Las Vegas over the
Speaker 2: weekend at NBA Summer League NBA con shout out step
Speaker 2: In and I believe Ali was your partner who you
Speaker 2: pulled UPO, Yeah, pulled up that the NBA. We're like, oh, okay, sir,
Speaker 2: good to see you anyway. Yeah, it was good to
Speaker 2: see people out there. It's good to be in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: It's nice to feel that desert heat on my already
Speaker 2: very dry skin.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I have.
Speaker 3: My lips are fucked up already.
Speaker 1: I lost sleep from my lips being like cracking in
Speaker 1: my sleep. When I got back, I was like, what
Speaker 1: the fuck is this look.
Speaker 2: Of like, Oh, oh, your wife's like, hey, stop licking
Speaker 2: your lips like a baby with some chapstick on. That's
Speaker 2: what her majesty kept saying to me. It's like, stop
Speaker 2: licking your lips and just go put some whatever on.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know why I was being.
Speaker 1: I never needed it now. Yeah, yeah, anyway, Yeah, there
Speaker 1: were a skin that had that like white Webby, like
Speaker 1: you know, ashiness over it. Oh yeah, you don't want
Speaker 1: that anyway, you do.
Speaker 3: That's what this show is about.
Speaker 1: Well, what this show is about is, uh, for first off,
Speaker 1: let's let's give some overrated, underrated. You want to kick off?
Speaker 1: You want me to kick off overrated?
Speaker 2: Yes, Victor Webbin Yama. I saw that first game. We
Speaker 2: saw that first game for this guy. This guy thinks
Speaker 2: he only had five blocks in that first game.
Speaker 3: I don't. I'm mixed.
Speaker 2: Like I said, you'll hear me say this. Many other
Speaker 2: blades I was expecting at least fifteen. I'm putting out
Speaker 2: his seconder. Yeah, I'm putting out his second performance already
Speaker 2: had a fantastic game of twenty seven points.
Speaker 3: Out of my mind.
Speaker 2: I'm just going off of just being a youre reactionary
Speaker 2: American sports fan who knows who's just does not really
Speaker 2: consider all the dynamics at work.
Speaker 3: Uh yes, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the seven foot four Frenchman who came
Speaker 1: over number one pick in the NBA draft. Yeah, looks
Speaker 1: like I can't shoot jack. He did not in his
Speaker 1: first game.
Speaker 2: I felt bad and I mean, I'm kind of joking here,
Speaker 2: but it was kind of fucked up to watch him,
Speaker 2: Like it's it is wild. He walks into this arena,
Speaker 2: everyone just stops talking like it. I've never quite seen
Speaker 2: something like that. Usually in sports, people get like they're screaming.
Speaker 2: This was like, oh shit, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: There? He is him, and he just seems like an
Speaker 1: eighteen year old kid, Like it just genuinely seems like
Speaker 1: a child. Yeah, who is seven foot whatever, who is
Speaker 1: just getting getting used to being seven foot four?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and shout out to him too.
Speaker 2: He was like, yeah, I'm probably gonna you probably won't
Speaker 2: see me do anything in the media for the next
Speaker 2: couple of months, like until the season starts, because.
Speaker 1: All related to that same game that we went to
Speaker 1: and just a number of the NBA events. Free t
Speaker 1: shirts I think are overrated because man, people we saw
Speaker 1: a gell have fun with the T shirt cannon. There's
Speaker 1: something electric about a T shirt cannon that that gets
Speaker 1: you excited to be, you know, for the possibility of
Speaker 1: having something shot at you. I think we just need
Speaker 1: to like put the T shirt can into better use
Speaker 1: because like people will go wild for anything coming out
Speaker 1: of that free T shirts. Oh yeah, I've never caught
Speaker 1: the free T shirt. I've been given free T shirts that,
Speaker 1: like gotten free T shirts at like events where they
Speaker 1: were like giving them out. Yeah, they're never like prime
Speaker 1: rotation T shirt.
Speaker 3: They're not a T.
Speaker 1: Shirts, but people will go wild for them.
Speaker 2: You're basically getting a wearable poster. Yeah, like for a
Speaker 2: event that is not fashionable. You're wearing a marketing item.
Speaker 2: But it's the sheer fact that it's free. And I
Speaker 2: think what it does is like I think it like
Speaker 2: maybe kind of recreates our like obsession with the lottery
Speaker 2: of like here's this cool thing that will be shot
Speaker 2: out into the world and if you're the lucky one
Speaker 2: and you catch hold of it, you're the winner and
Speaker 2: everything could change. Because that's the energy people have when
Speaker 2: they're fucking like diving over each other for a free
Speaker 2: T shirt that has a bunch of key of sponsoring
Speaker 2: emblazons on it.
Speaker 1: And the power that you see on the faces of
Speaker 1: the like arena employees who come through with even the
Speaker 1: ones who are just like throwing the free T shirt
Speaker 1: the end of the crowd, they're like pointing at people
Speaker 1: then they're waving them off. There is a there is
Speaker 1: a power there that feels.
Speaker 3: I don't like un pressent, Like I feel like those
Speaker 3: people are.
Speaker 1: Peaking in that moment. They're just going to be trying to,
Speaker 1: you know, try to that moment.
Speaker 2: It active, it's my toxic like, oh, you're a tough
Speaker 2: guy kind of thing. I'm also you think you got
Speaker 2: me because you're throwing the T shirts out, because I
Speaker 2: know you're talking about when they were.
Speaker 3: There was one dude when the T shirt people came out.
Speaker 2: My man thought he was fucking doctor Manhattan or some
Speaker 2: shit like, I don't know what.
Speaker 3: The fuck he like.
Speaker 2: I could even I could feel his cockiness from the
Speaker 2: nosebleedze and I was like, no, I'm not having this.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think I was also just jealous, more acutely aware
Speaker 1: of it and jealous because we were pretty high up.
Speaker 1: We were general admission, got there a little late and
Speaker 1: can you.
Speaker 3: Get him up here? He's like, I don't have the
Speaker 3: arm of a god, Like.
Speaker 1: Do you want the shirt anyway? You sure seem to
Speaker 1: think you do, and then throws it to a kid
Speaker 1: down below and I'm like, oh, what a cop out?
Speaker 1: So obvious.
Speaker 3: Yeah, someone their most unfair group, like.
Speaker 1: On one hand, it seems a little bit patronizing, but
Speaker 1: I do feel like if they were and out like
Speaker 1: government benefits in this way and just like coming out
Speaker 1: with like some loud music and then like kind of
Speaker 1: running through the crowd and like pointing pointing to people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, you'd see the government's popularity to go through
Speaker 1: the roof.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2: Just launch it out of a T shirt cannon or something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: pneumatic cannons for everything.
Speaker 1: Pneumatic cannons. I think the pneumatic is really like the
Speaker 1: showstopper that.
Speaker 2: Anything pneumatic is just feels like like an even Like
Speaker 2: I remember, do you remember that that MTV show Beach
Speaker 2: Blast that was like that fucking obstacle course show. No,
Speaker 2: there was an air I just remember I'm obsessed with
Speaker 2: this pneumatic air ramp they had that would just launch
Speaker 2: people fucking just feet up in the air. And I
Speaker 2: was like, oh, like.
Speaker 1: The lost art of the pneumatics, Like, yeah, there used
Speaker 1: to be a feature at the bank that was like
Speaker 1: a reason to go with your parents to the bank
Speaker 1: to like watch the pneumatic tube. Well, like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: we've lost that. Wait, what was it.
Speaker 3: Called sand beach Blast or maybe it was sand Blast whatever.
Speaker 3: Fuck that show was so good that gang help me
Speaker 3: know what it was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, give us some idea. If you've seen anybody distribute
Speaker 1: something via pneumatics or if it's still happening somewhere.
Speaker 3: That's what it was called.
Speaker 1: Sand Blast sounds Yeah, that's a good nineteen.
Speaker 3: Ninety ninety six. God, what the fuck was like ten
Speaker 3: to twelve was? Anyway?
Speaker 1: Well, My underrated's kind of on the same subject that
Speaker 1: we're already talking about, and sand Blast is appropriate because
Speaker 1: I think my underrated is Las Vegas. He's my first
Speaker 1: time like being in Las Vegas and not being like
Speaker 1: mostly drunk for most of the time. And it is
Speaker 1: and also like a wear.
Speaker 3: With those eyes.
Speaker 1: It's definitely it's like poisonous and weird and and uh
Speaker 1: like dark, but also like worth being at for like
Speaker 1: worth spending twenty four hours there. So just like I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's like.
Speaker 2: A weirdically inside the arteries of the casino floors and yes,
Speaker 2: and shopping spaces of the yeah, the big hotels.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just this like weird alternate universe where like
Speaker 1: everything's indoors, like the whole places feels like it's on
Speaker 1: life support. It's this giant like interweaving biodome, except instead
Speaker 1: of like recreating a biome in the desert, it's just
Speaker 1: like cigarette smoke, like whatever they use to cover up
Speaker 1: the cigarette smoke, air conditioning, small food court smells. It
Speaker 1: feels like it is the cheesecake Factory Menu of Cities.
Speaker 1: It's like you it does feel yeah. Superducer Brian said,
Speaker 1: it feels like a weird space station. That is a yeah.
Speaker 2: I think when we were walking through, I was like,
Speaker 2: this is what it's going to be like when the
Speaker 2: climate becomes unlivable and we can't do anything outside anymore
Speaker 2: and we have to just like live in these lit
Speaker 2: ass indoor spaces to be like yeah this this can
Speaker 2: replace sunlight.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And it's like I was also like there there's
Speaker 1: like a lot of families there. I wasn't like really
Speaker 1: aware that that is a thing. But yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a more like Disney World if
Speaker 1: it was if they just like nobody was watching the Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, like do whatever you want, Like it's all
Speaker 2: smoke weed in here, like I guess, I mean, yeah, fine,
Speaker 2: you can go ahead and you can gamble away your
Speaker 2: kid's life savings or knowledge fun.
Speaker 1: People are still smoking cigarettes indoors. There is pretty wild.
Speaker 1: Like that kind of tells you all you need to know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for me, Underrated, it's kind of dual sided. First
Speaker 2: one is gambler, the evil spirit that takes over people
Speaker 2: when they want to gamble. That's the reference to The
Speaker 2: Simpsons when Marge was always at the casino. I I
Speaker 2: haven't been to Vegas in maybe six years, like since
Speaker 2: we started the podcast, I have not been to Vegas.
Speaker 2: And coming back the way, you know, I like to
Speaker 2: have fun, not all the time, but when I'm in Vegas,
Speaker 2: I'll indulge a little bit.
Speaker 3: And the way I immediately was like, what are we?
Speaker 3: What are we? What are we up to?
Speaker 2: We played roulette jack one so casually at the roulette table, everyone, me, Jabbari,
Speaker 2: Brian were like.
Speaker 3: What the fuck was that? I'm over here?
Speaker 2: I lost a fucking like one hundred dollars in three seconds,
Speaker 2: and I was like, what the fuck, I'm like chasing
Speaker 2: the numbers.
Speaker 3: I'm completely fucked up at the roulette table.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So obviously shout out to Las Vegas and their
Speaker 2: ability to just kind of get your eyes all big
Speaker 2: with dollar signs. But the other underrated thing also I
Speaker 2: realized is watching seven thousand sporting events simultaneously.
Speaker 1: Is the sports book.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, It's a disorienting but comforting experience at
Speaker 2: the same time when on the corner of your eye
Speaker 2: you have like tennis and then up above there's like
Speaker 2: under twenty one soccer, then a fucking UFC fight.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: It was just it's just like wild to be able
Speaker 2: to kind of like fix your attention all around and
Speaker 2: when you hear people cheering it like, wait, was it
Speaker 2: for the person who's got knocked out?
Speaker 3: Was this baseball game? Whatever?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it felt.
Speaker 2: Like just like the matrix of of sports watching. So
Speaker 2: I got to say, having three thousand screens kind of
Speaker 2: kind of fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I definitely could see myself like the whole like Wally
Speaker 1: Future dystopia where you're just like sitting in a floating
Speaker 1: chair and just having content like streamed into your brain.
Speaker 3: Like that sports Like I.
Speaker 1: Could see myself falling victim to that and just being like, Yep,
Speaker 1: this is this is how I want to pass my time.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 2: Also, underrated buffets. I just always say that, Yeah, I
Speaker 2: love a buffet.
Speaker 1: Killed some buffets where else.
Speaker 2: Can you have sausage and biscuits, a slice of prime rib,
Speaker 2: some melon?
Speaker 1: You had a two prime rib day? I think we
Speaker 1: both did.
Speaker 2: Her Majesty was like, please don't be foolish out there,
Speaker 2: because she knows in my younger days, in my younger days,
Speaker 2: I used to I used to get pretty fucked up
Speaker 2: in Vegas. No, I've definitely thank God for the personal
Speaker 2: growth on that end. But when she was like, just
Speaker 2: you know, like, don't don't be stupid out there, I'm like, honestly,
Speaker 2: the riskiest thing I'm gonna do is probably eat too
Speaker 2: much red meat.
Speaker 1: And I followed through it, and you followed through. All right.
Speaker 1: Should we get into a news story for the people,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'd rather talk about prime rib man.
Speaker 1: Let's go prime rib all right. So Threads hit over
Speaker 1: one hundred million users within a week, definitely ahead of
Speaker 1: the people's expectations, ahead of Elon Musk's expectations. Zer Bergs
Speaker 1: even yeah, yeah, I mean they yeah, they seem happy.
Speaker 1: Twitter seems unperturbed and totally like not worried about this.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, no, I mean we talked last week that
Speaker 2: Elon had his lawyer send like a cease and desisting
Speaker 2: like you've been hiring Twitter ex employees and.
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah, and that's our proprietary this, that and
Speaker 3: the other. Totally not a shook boy move.
Speaker 2: But then over the weekend someone was like pointing out
Speaker 2: like Threads and Twitter and some of the similarities, and
Speaker 2: then he just tweeted, zuck is a cook Okay, then
Speaker 2: followed that up with I'm not joking. This is verbatim
Speaker 2: what he tweeted. I propose a literal dick measuring contest with.
Speaker 1: The Yeah, sorry, Zuckerberg, that was Elon Musk. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know how to speak like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's it's it's some form of crying through
Speaker 2: a clenched smile or something, but yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just the way that tweeted. It felt
Speaker 2: like he was tweeting his thoughts in real time, where
Speaker 2: like he's seeing like how.
Speaker 3: Threads is doing. Was it sucks a cook?
Speaker 2: Yeah, And he's like and then in his mind it
Speaker 2: was I bet I have a bigger dick than Okay,
Speaker 2: all right, man, that'll solve the issue about downloads on
Speaker 2: a fucking app. Yeah, pull your dicks out, Okay, go ahead,
Speaker 2: whatever this is where we're at. It wasn't enough to
Speaker 2: fight and sweat all over each other. Now you'll want
Speaker 2: to pull peeps out and compare.
Speaker 1: You're on threads. You were sharing things with me in
Speaker 1: real time that I think in the past you would
Speaker 1: have shared me like we would be showing each other
Speaker 1: things on Twitter. You were showing me things from threads.
Speaker 2: Yeah, mostly Gang's response to watching you play Twitch on
Speaker 2: the flight.
Speaker 3: When I took a candid photo of you. They didn't
Speaker 3: they couldn't believe what they saw.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have an unorthodox style of holding the check.
Speaker 2: My threads out you can see some cool exclusive jack
Speaker 2: Switch content. I'm not foking around but yet. But yeah,
Speaker 2: what were we gonna say? Like just the I don't
Speaker 2: know threads.
Speaker 1: I feel like I need to do some threads pruning,
Speaker 1: need to prune the threads I put together my follow
Speaker 1: list because yeah, right now just feels very much like
Speaker 1: you know, Twitter still feels like I don't know. I
Speaker 1: find like funnier jokes there threads. The people I follow
Speaker 1: on threads, I think because it's like Instagram still feels
Speaker 1: like people are trying to like build build their brand
Speaker 1: a little bit more like there's something more of like
Speaker 1: people are watching on threads, whereas on Twitter people are
Speaker 1: just posting their thoughts, you know, like elon following dear Leader,
Speaker 1: just posting their thoughts and real.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think it is worth pointing out,
Speaker 2: like you say, like there are definitely clear vibrational differences
Speaker 2: on threads and Twitter, you know what I mean. Like
Speaker 2: for me personally, Instagram is a little bit more because
Speaker 2: it is a Facebook product.
Speaker 3: I follow a lot.
Speaker 2: Of people like from my like personal life, like people
Speaker 2: I went to school with, like from way back, and be.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, shit, look at their like, cause that's for
Speaker 3: me the place.
Speaker 2: Now, if you're gonna post pictures or your family and shit,
Speaker 2: do it on Instagram because I don't want to hear
Speaker 2: about it. I think maybe what it's gonna do, it's
Speaker 2: gonna actually marry bring the worst part of Facebook and
Speaker 2: make it Twitter, where like I'm not on Facebook because
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear the ramblings of people whose
Speaker 2: opinions I don't respect. Yeah, because I'm just kind of
Speaker 2: there because of a loose affiliation, Whereas Twitter it's more
Speaker 2: like content I'm seeking out. Yeah, So I think, yeah,
Speaker 2: it just feels a little bland. Other comedians definitely having
Speaker 2: a good time on there, but it doesn't have that
Speaker 2: wild West feel of Twitter because I think on some
Speaker 2: level people know was like my mom might see this,
Speaker 2: or like, you know, like my aunt doesn't know I'm
Speaker 2: a fucking like wild fucking you know this that or
Speaker 2: the other Elon described he had this, he converted it.
Speaker 3: To this about why Twitter's better than threads. He said, quote,
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 2: Infinitely preferable to be attacked by strangers on Twitter then
Speaker 2: indulge in the false happiness of hide the pain Instagram
Speaker 2: mm hmm, which you know, it's.
Speaker 3: A weird way to put it, but yeah, it kind
Speaker 3: of does.
Speaker 1: It's also weird that his like that he'm getting Twitter
Speaker 1: is his abuse.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I can't tell if it's like I just haven't edited
Speaker 1: all the funny people I fall on Twitter or they're
Speaker 1: not on threads, or if social media networks have to
Speaker 1: like go through a life cycle that is just Twitter
Speaker 1: Like this feels like Twitter early days. Twitter like very
Speaker 1: uh when when I first started using it, And I
Speaker 1: think that's probably based on just I hadn't like really
Speaker 1: gotten my follow list where it needs to be. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been I've been surprised of seeing like former
Speaker 2: classmates like from like middle school, like on Threads like
Speaker 2: say stuff and I'm like, oh, ship.
Speaker 3: That's where you're at right now?
Speaker 2: Okay on follow didn't you forgot about that part?
Speaker 1: And they're looking at yours and being like, Oh, you're
Speaker 1: hanging out with somebody who doesn't know how to hold
Speaker 1: a twitch, right, he doesn't know how to hold a swock?
Speaker 3: Is wrong with you?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: But yeah, I will say, I don't know. I could
Speaker 3: also see.
Speaker 2: Threads just falling off of Cliff in like two months
Speaker 2: if people get bored, Yeah you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: because I think part of a lot of people are like, wow,
Speaker 2: Zuckerberg's done it, and you know how he completely went
Speaker 2: like switched it around from getting made fun of about
Speaker 2: the metaverse and all that shit to now being like,
Speaker 2: oh shit, yeah you kind of stomp it out Elon
Speaker 2: Musk at the you know, social media platform game. But
Speaker 2: I think part of that whole Threads their rise is
Speaker 2: completely linked to everyone just fucking hating Elon.
Speaker 1: Munch, quitting Twitter and Solon.
Speaker 3: You can take that. It might not be because the
Speaker 3: actual platform is better. It's because they hate you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So you know, there's also the nice fact that
Speaker 1: on Twitter now you can like easily just scroll past
Speaker 1: anybody with the blue check mark next to their name
Speaker 1: like they've that that's actually become useful, a useful way
Speaker 1: to just be like, oh, this is just bullshity block
Speaker 1: this person so a helpful broken product on Twitter. But
Speaker 1: we'll see. All right, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back with more stories. And we're back
Speaker 1: and in the world of ai uh Sarah Silverman.
Speaker 2: I just saw someone on Threads exactly reminds you why
Speaker 2: I don't want to be like this. One person I
Speaker 2: used to work with just said I'm ready for prime
Speaker 2: day Birdman hand rub In.
Speaker 1: Parenthetically, Yeah, Breads is like either people just being like, hey,
Speaker 1: do you guys like pizza or people talking about like
Speaker 1: Threads versus Twitter. Yeah, and yeah, I like have the
Speaker 1: New York like a lot of New York Times tweets
Speaker 1: and just yeah, I think it's just I haven't done
Speaker 1: a good enough job of It's back where I would
Speaker 1: where my media intake was, back when I was using Yeah.
Speaker 3: You just got to get just got to get the
Speaker 3: I'm active and just start unfollowing that's that's all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but make sure you follow us. You know,
Speaker 2: don't know what I'll be posting, but I'll be posting
Speaker 2: some shit on them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Sarah Silverman, other authors are suing chat GPT.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a thing, man, Yeah. This, uh, we
Speaker 3: saw it with Getty Images.
Speaker 2: We saw lawsuit come from them where they're talking about
Speaker 2: how generative like a lot of these you know, these
Speaker 2: generative ais are using copyrighted material to then create these
Speaker 2: new images or products or text or whatever. So Sarah Silverman,
Speaker 2: along with authors Richard Cadre and Christopher Golden who did
Speaker 2: error at they are suing open ai and Meta for
Speaker 2: copyright infringement, and their suit alleges that the companies illegally
Speaker 2: use their works as basically part of data sets that
Speaker 2: trained these ais. So for the open Ai chat GPT suit,
Speaker 2: their like their evidence was showing that one prompted chat
Speaker 2: gpt would summarize their books, which infringes on their copyrights.
Speaker 2: And they say that the chatbot never bothered to quote
Speaker 2: reproduce any of the copyright management information plaintiffs included with
Speaker 2: their published works.
Speaker 1: Which would just make check gbt worse like a worse
Speaker 1: product if you had to like get for a bunch
Speaker 1: of rent. Exactly, it makes sense trying it Like they
Speaker 1: are just stealing content, but that that is also basically
Speaker 1: what the internet does.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it's like, but we have to feed it
Speaker 2: something and it's just stuff that already exists, and in
Speaker 2: a way, that is how the human mind works. But again, like,
Speaker 2: and it's specifically to Meta and their like Lama models
Speaker 2: as they call their like open Air or whatever, their
Speaker 2: AI models, they're basically saying that, like, you guys have
Speaker 2: even said that the data sets that you're using that
Speaker 2: Meta is using to train these ais are like using
Speaker 2: these existing databases of printed materials, of copywritten materials that
Speaker 2: they're using that to train the AI. And because their
Speaker 2: books have been included in those data sets, are saying, well, no,
Speaker 2: do not.
Speaker 3: You're using our works illegally, right.
Speaker 2: So it's a it's it's a very like, it's a
Speaker 2: very complicated thing. And I mean, these lawsuits are gonna
Speaker 2: have potentially huge ramifications over what even the definition of
Speaker 2: a copyright is. Right, So this I'm right right now,
Speaker 2: these people are suing for damages and loss of profits,
Speaker 2: et cetera. But I don't think there's any reason to
Speaker 2: think that these lawsuits are going to stop at this point,
Speaker 2: because it like, on on one end, as a creative person,
Speaker 2: you're like, I can't, like my work can't just be
Speaker 2: used willy nilly for this other this AI. But then again,
Speaker 2: you know, how do we differentiate all these things. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm not on the side of being like, yeah, let
Speaker 2: them pick your shit, but it'll be interesting how this
Speaker 2: is adjudicated and how what that means going forward, if
Speaker 2: like you have to license something to have that used
Speaker 2: as part of like a learning data set for AI
Speaker 2: or some shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't know. The whole thing fucking feels above me
Speaker 1: and like crazy and like, well, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: feel like we've already hit the singularity in terms of
Speaker 1: my ability to even like kind of understand what's going on.
Speaker 1: But it definitely feels bad for people trying to create
Speaker 1: content in the world.
Speaker 2: But I mean, and I'm not playing Devil's Advocate by
Speaker 2: any stretch of the imagination, but all of our creative
Speaker 2: works are informed by previous creative works on some level,
Speaker 2: whether some people are cynically just copying shit or people
Speaker 2: are influential on people's own create like their own artistic
Speaker 2: aesthetic formation or what right, you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 2: so at that point, where do we I'm not saying
Speaker 2: that these ais need the rights of people, but then
Speaker 2: how do we kind of define it all? Because on
Speaker 2: some level you can tell that like does does J
Speaker 2: Dilla exist without DJ Premiere without you know, the original DJs?
Speaker 2: That we're sampling things and like who you know what
Speaker 2: I mean? Like it's just everything builds on each other.
Speaker 2: And there's like a book I like, I read I
Speaker 2: remember like many years ago, so called how to Steal
Speaker 2: Like an Artist, And they're just basically talking about how
Speaker 2: it's really like we've seen many ted talks and stuff
Speaker 2: like this about how it's all of our ideas are
Speaker 2: just formed off of the backs of these other ones.
Speaker 2: So on that level, there's no need to think of
Speaker 2: like why don't I have anything original to do? But
Speaker 2: just still that we're just part of this like constant
Speaker 2: evolution of ideas.
Speaker 1: The AI also ingested that book many years exactly like
Speaker 1: I will steal like an AI. Yes, but yeah, like
Speaker 1: that that bums me out to like because that argument
Speaker 1: is definitely coming like, well, what's the difference between what
Speaker 1: this AI does exactly what you guys do, and it's like, well,
Speaker 1: that is a product that is just feeding money into
Speaker 1: your bottom line as yea, exactly, and.
Speaker 2: You're cynically creating something that has the potential to devastate
Speaker 2: like other human beings their own artistic endeavors, whereas this
Speaker 2: other thing is just our own human right to like exist,
Speaker 2: live in just ideas and then express new ones. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, can you where's where's that like lawsuit? Where
Speaker 2: like the fucking AI is like wearing a tie at
Speaker 2: the fucking Supreme Court and ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean, the like AI is the big
Speaker 1: thing that everybody's investing in on Wall Street. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, I like I've heard a lot of smart
Speaker 1: people be like, it's just the latest like scam and
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be able to follow through on this ship.
Speaker 1: But you know, Wall Street, who has never been fooled
Speaker 1: before by anything, seems to think metaverse all right, uh
Speaker 1: more undisclosed. Clarence Thomas Gifts just dropped. Mmm, so the
Speaker 1: big news, Yeah, the New York Times is doing some digging,
Speaker 1: so it's not just a personal vendetta by Pro Publica
Speaker 1: as almost Thomas and Harlan Crowe seemed to think it
Speaker 1: was New York Times is getting in on the action
Speaker 1: to be like the people might want to know that
Speaker 1: this dude just parties with billionaires and you know, corporate
Speaker 1: heads and then rules in their favor.
Speaker 2: What the these are just they're just hospitality between friend. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is this is wild. So we got to just
Speaker 2: start calling him fancy clancy. But yeah, he turns out, man,
Speaker 2: this guy it wasn't just Harlan Crowe, Like Clarence.
Speaker 3: Thomas has been getting hooked up since even before he
Speaker 3: was in the fucking Supreme Court.
Speaker 2: So the second that he was put on the bench
Speaker 2: of the Supreme Court, he was invited to join this
Speaker 2: group called the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans.
Speaker 1: Being the character that was like the pulleer bootstraps up
Speaker 1: uh novel protagonists from like the early you know, turn
Speaker 1: of the century and is one of like one of
Speaker 1: the most formative people for like kind of the toxic
Speaker 1: American ideal of just like, well you don't want hundred
Speaker 1: percent help, Like look at this ratio. Alger is poor
Speaker 1: person who made himself rich by just pulling himself up
Speaker 1: by his bootstraps.
Speaker 3: And now we're distinguished.
Speaker 2: Look at us, and they build themselves as a scholarship
Speaker 2: organization or whatever. But it's just a place where they're
Speaker 2: like really connected conservatives all hang out and you know,
Speaker 2: you have instant access now to a Supreme Court justice.
Speaker 2: They talked about how he got vacations, VIP tickets to
Speaker 2: sporting events. You went to lavish fucking parties with Ed
Speaker 2: McMahon and Oprah, You know.
Speaker 3: What I mean, real a list type shit. Oprah.
Speaker 1: What do you mean, gaire? Yeah, Oprah, she's not Oprah.
Speaker 3: Oprah left the building.
Speaker 2: You know, when you're that rich, when you're that rich
Speaker 2: in general, you have left the building completely.
Speaker 3: So anyway, a lot of.
Speaker 1: You're just saying, like what you're doing with Ed McMahon,
Speaker 1: I'm shipping those two. That's Oh I love that Ed
Speaker 1: McMahon is dead, right, Oh right, yeah yeah, yeah, Well
Speaker 1: for you shipping in my brain like decades before he died,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that's probably he just exists in
Speaker 1: a hyperreality for him.
Speaker 3: Oh, she died in two thousand and nine. I don't
Speaker 3: know why, am I in mind? I was like he
Speaker 3: died back in like twenty sixteen or something.
Speaker 2: It wasn't even that wave of terrible losses in twenty
Speaker 2: sixteen anyway.
Speaker 1: The worst Mandela effect, we just came up with it.
Speaker 1: I thought, Yeah, McMahon died in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3: He so he hadn't reported any of these.
Speaker 2: A lot of people point to the fact that after
Speaker 2: two thousand and four, when the La Times pointed out
Speaker 2: a lot of shit that he was like slipping on,
Speaker 2: he just stopped reporting shit in general. So for like
Speaker 2: nineteen years, he's just like fuck it, Like I'm not
Speaker 2: I'm not e gonna let you go. I'm gonna give
Speaker 2: you guys crumbs to look at. But the other thing
Speaker 2: that came out, like I said, a lot of these
Speaker 2: these favors were happening before he got on the Supreme Court.
Speaker 2: They found one vacation where a buddy paid for a
Speaker 2: vacation in the Bahamas, and then also a friend paid
Speaker 2: for his nineteen eighty seven wedding reception.
Speaker 1: Wow, he just didn't pay for anything for Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: he's just his whole life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, he's basically what social media influencers do, except
Speaker 2: he was doing it early and he was a Supreme
Speaker 2: Court justice, and it's all.
Speaker 1: Spawn con yeah, it's all sponsored content, but I do.
Speaker 3: It's all the cool stuff I get. Uh. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: like not to mention you.
Speaker 1: Should have to like put a hashtag at the beginning
Speaker 1: of his hash sagreme Court.
Speaker 2: Yeah r if he's writing the majority opinion hashtag ad.
Speaker 2: But uh we are sighting with the you know, fucking
Speaker 2: Berkshire Hathaway on this one, because the homie had me
Speaker 2: at his ranch in Montana.
Speaker 3: It's actually really beautiful hashtag ad.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But I think one of the creepier revelations is
Speaker 1: that some of his friends from Horatio Alger helped pay
Speaker 1: for a documentary about him, made specifically as like a
Speaker 1: rebuttal following the HBO movie about Anita Hill starring Kerry Washington.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It came out in like twenty twenty, I think it was.
Speaker 1: It was yeah, recent. Yeah, so yeah. It's just a
Speaker 1: two hour infomercial for him, and in which he compares
Speaker 1: himself to the falsely accused Tom Robinson and to kill
Speaker 1: a mockingbird.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, same, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I see that, I see that.
Speaker 3: I see that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, truly pull yourself up by your boot stress.
Speaker 1: Why doesn't he call himself Boo Radley though, right, I
Speaker 1: think he's more Boo Radley, Like that makes more.
Speaker 3: He's like, they got the wrong idea about me.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, actually no, they don't have the wrong I'm pretty far.
Speaker 1: Turns out character the whole time, all right. Quick box
Speaker 1: office update. According to an ad I saw on Twitter,
Speaker 1: Sound of Freedom with the number one movie at the
Speaker 1: is America's number one movie at the box office, so
Speaker 1: they are you know, you guys talked about how it
Speaker 1: was the number one movie at the box office on
Speaker 1: July fourth for one day, which they and they like
Speaker 1: made it seem like it was their target audience's patriotic
Speaker 1: duty to go see the movie on July fourth.
Speaker 3: M hmm.
Speaker 1: But the rest of the weekend it did not. It
Speaker 1: was like somewhere in the top five, which they're they're
Speaker 1: claiming as a victory, but did not beat Indiana Jones
Speaker 1: or Irrigin. That's right, we did with patriots who instead
Speaker 1: of like barbecuing or you know, do it doing what
Speaker 1: they would have been doing on July fourth, actually went
Speaker 1: to the movies.
Speaker 2: And again, until I see who is the source of
Speaker 2: those ticket sales, I'm filing this under so dubious I'm
Speaker 2: gonna smoke it as a doobie, okay, because we knew
Speaker 2: that they the whole reason they got there was basically
Speaker 2: doing the New York Times bestseller list shit where you
Speaker 2: could buy as many tickets as you wanted to gift
Speaker 2: them to someone who you wanted to see the film.
Speaker 2: No idea how many motherfuckers actually saw this shit with
Speaker 2: their own eyes. We just know how much money has
Speaker 2: been passed in the form of quote unquote ticket sales.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that gets it there. But yeah, I mean, like
Speaker 1: it definitely seems to be making a impact for this
Speaker 1: type of movie, but it's also like, yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: funny how like close it is in a lot of
Speaker 1: ways to American Sniper, which was also like kind of
Speaker 1: a right wing movie that was based on the grift
Speaker 1: of like somebody who was constantly exaggerating and like made
Speaker 1: himself into an action hero in people's minds.
Speaker 2: So was that guy like a big liar the America
Speaker 2: that the Cooper played, I mean I remember that, like
Speaker 2: I remember years ago being like, yeah, that guy was
Speaker 2: full of shit?
Speaker 3: But was he was? He just a grossly exaggerating.
Speaker 1: Every grossly exaggerating And yeah, it's not a in any
Speaker 1: way based on fact movie that draws most of its
Speaker 1: power from the idea that it's based on fact.
Speaker 2: Well, because the film itself like felt like this weird
Speaker 2: like islamophobic fever.
Speaker 3: Dream Yeah what I mean?
Speaker 2: So oh okay, well this one is just as equally
Speaker 2: untethered from reality.
Speaker 1: So yeah, he goes on like uh rescue missions that
Speaker 1: like with with camera crews and then based on a
Speaker 1: tip from a Utah psychic, as you guys mentioned at
Speaker 1: the end of last week, which.
Speaker 2: Pretty Ridgard for the record, did not know that psychic
Speaker 2: even though Bridge was from Utah.
Speaker 1: Yeahs couldn't get if that psychic was worth of damn
Speaker 1: you know that Bridger would have known about it. Let's
Speaker 1: take one more break and we will be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back, And so the the Ronda Santis train
Speaker 1: seems to be slowing down. He was kind of the
Speaker 1: anointed for Fox News. Fox was like, this is this
Speaker 1: is our guy, it seemed like for most of the campaign,
Speaker 1: and they seem to be switching gears and have suddenly
Speaker 1: started crapping all over to Santis. Uh. And in this case,
Speaker 1: he was on Fox News twice and in both cases
Speaker 1: bullying him bullying me. Uh so. First, he appeared on
Speaker 1: the network on Thursday for an interview with Will Kine,
Speaker 1: and he was confronted with his terrible poll numbers and
Speaker 1: totally like just didn't He's looked like a middle schooler
Speaker 1: being broken up with for the first time. He's just
Speaker 1: like wait what.
Speaker 2: The line of questioning too is just like, so, why
Speaker 2: do you basically distilled done to? Like, so you suck
Speaker 2: pretty bad? Huh Like, what's going on with that? Yeah,
Speaker 2: let's just hear this exchange, because it is pretty it'sheartening.
Speaker 4: There's something about you that's not connecting, for whatever reason,
Speaker 4: not connecting with the voter, whether not be personality. Donald
Speaker 4: Trump says it's about loyalty. Francis Suarez says, it's about
Speaker 4: your relationships and it's not about those individuals so much
Speaker 4: as I'm curious in the analysis of Ron DeSantis of
Speaker 4: why not yet is connecting.
Speaker 1: Bank?
Speaker 5: I think, did you just see the news today about
Speaker 5: the record fundraising hall we've had. Nobody's been able to
Speaker 5: match that in the history of modern.
Speaker 3: Presidence of crime politics.
Speaker 5: So we've got a huge amount of support to be
Speaker 5: able to take the case to the people. We really
Speaker 5: haven't started that yet.
Speaker 1: Oh, so first, we aren't trying. Yeah, yeah, I wasn't
Speaker 1: even trying. Oh you thought that that was my campaign
Speaker 1: when I announced my campaigns.
Speaker 2: No, you heard the amazing news that we you know,
Speaker 2: we just just satured up fundraising.
Speaker 3: R you will Yeah.
Speaker 1: He squeezed like thirteen blinks in between the end of
Speaker 1: the sentence and the beginning or other question in the
Speaker 1: beginning of his answer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. Again it did.
Speaker 2: The distillation of that is, so you're creeping people out.
Speaker 2: Donald Trump says, because you a fucking snake. Other people say,
Speaker 2: because you creep them out. Yeah, we want to know
Speaker 2: why you think.
Speaker 3: You're sucking up. It's like, well, I haven't even parted yet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh really, it does feel like my read on
Speaker 1: it is that it's it's really the same as the
Speaker 1: Mueller and uh Jared Kushner thing, where like everybody had
Speaker 1: heard of him and seen him in headlines, and then
Speaker 1: they heard him speak and like saw him move and
Speaker 1: saw him interact with other humans, right, and it was like, oh,
Speaker 1: oh wait a second, like this he's he's just like not,
Speaker 1: I don't know, and.
Speaker 2: That in the full clip, I was watching like a
Speaker 2: longer segment of that, when Will Kine was interviewing him.
Speaker 3: He starts it's off by like playing a clip of
Speaker 3: Ron DeSantis. He's like, he's like, let's setch it before
Speaker 3: it comes on.
Speaker 1: You said.
Speaker 3: He's like, I don't know if you.
Speaker 2: Heard about this, but at the southern border, you got
Speaker 2: people coming in from Tajikistan. It's not just people from
Speaker 2: South America. And I was thinking, wow, like it's the
Speaker 2: least like and Will King comes back, he's like, so
Speaker 2: what the He's like, so, you know, not the most
Speaker 2: compelling he said, And then you had him on oh
Speaker 2: my god, Yeah, he's at the this US stage of yeah.
Speaker 1: Just all right, let's look at your performance here and
Speaker 1: just it's like the postgame interview with an athlete who
Speaker 1: has just lost, Like yeah, it feels like the energy
Speaker 1: that they're they're giving him.
Speaker 3: And then he and then he came back for more.
Speaker 1: Yeah. His explanation. In addition to like I wasn't trying,
Speaker 1: he also blamed his poor numbers on the corporate media yep,
Speaker 1: and also the president of Mexico. There you go, there
Speaker 1: it is ye. He said, well, I think if you
Speaker 1: look at the people, like the corporate media, Who are
Speaker 1: they going after? Who do they not want to be
Speaker 1: the nominee? They're going after me, who's a president of
Speaker 1: Mexico attacking because he knows who will be strong on
Speaker 1: the border and hold him accountable. And the car tells
Speaker 1: he's going after me because Republican voters usually check for
Speaker 1: I think it goes like Drudge first, and then Fox
Speaker 1: and then President of Mexico. Like what he's saying, what's
Speaker 1: his read on the situation?
Speaker 3: Also name the president of Mexico.
Speaker 1: Right. It's also wild for him to claim that it's
Speaker 1: like the mainstream media is not on board because he's
Speaker 1: like he is basically a fabrication of the mainstream media,
Speaker 1: like fromt page of time, Like he is the Beto
Speaker 1: O'Rourke of the Republican the Republican primary.
Speaker 3: And they're like, oh wait, he's a robot guy.
Speaker 2: It's wild though, too, how this guy's he's losing, he's
Speaker 2: losing points because of the lack of riz.
Speaker 3: Right, you know, where have we come? How far are
Speaker 3: we falling?
Speaker 1: Yeah? And then he comes back for more and you
Speaker 1: would think that he's like, Okay, now I'll have like
Speaker 1: a different strategy, a different approach to the questions. No,
Speaker 1: but it seemed like his strategy was like, maybe they'll
Speaker 1: be nicer this time.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So he went to Maria Bartiromo's show and she.
Speaker 3: She was also like, hey, bro, the fuck is going
Speaker 3: on with you?
Speaker 6: I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was
Speaker 6: a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier
Speaker 6: in the year. But here's this weekend's headline from the
Speaker 6: Politico playbook, failure to launch. Florida Governor Ron de Santis'
Speaker 6: campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind,
Speaker 6: says a top DeSantis pack official, sounding the alarm.
Speaker 5: What happened, Oh, Maria, these are narratives. The media does
Speaker 5: not want me to be the nominee. I think that's
Speaker 5: very very clear. Why because they know I'll beat Biden,
Speaker 5: but even more importantly, they know I will actually deliver
Speaker 5: on all these things.
Speaker 3: Okay, just a couple of things that la Yeah, that
Speaker 3: laugh first. Okay, good transition to show you're not pressed
Speaker 3: at all.
Speaker 2: But I like that he he's pointing to polling right
Speaker 2: that they're like measurably, you're way behind, Like you're not
Speaker 2: having an effect on the conversation and He's like, well,
Speaker 2: that's a narrative, not a measurement of something, and then
Speaker 2: goes on to say that he would beat Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure I've seen that, and then just continues
Speaker 2: to just I think his new thing now is just
Speaker 2: to say they don't like my numbers are bad because the.
Speaker 3: Media doesn't fucking want me to do well right.
Speaker 2: Which is clever, but doesn't even come close to explaining
Speaker 2: why you're not doing anything. It's not like you're being
Speaker 2: like completely vanished from the conversation, like people were actively
Speaker 2: giving him relevance to even get to this point, so
Speaker 2: to then be like they.
Speaker 3: Don't want that, they don't want it with Hoe like.
Speaker 1: That, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know about that, Ron, I don't know.
Speaker 1: And then yeah, I mean And we talked about the
Speaker 1: fact that like he has the problem of he feels
Speaker 1: committed to going further right than Trump because he recognizes
Speaker 1: that's where the energy is, like especially at a at
Speaker 1: a local level, but also like his main argument that
Speaker 1: was causing all the mainstream media to like back him
Speaker 1: was that he was the more moderate, like the more
Speaker 1: sensible option, So his problem there and then as fox
Speaker 1: a Fox panelist said later in the day, one should
Speaker 1: we just play it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, just so out on this guy.
Speaker 2: It's just so wow, performan just last word on this.
Speaker 2: What are Democrats it's going to be watching for in
Speaker 2: that debate?
Speaker 7: How awful Ronda Santis does? I think Ronda Santis is
Speaker 7: biggest one to launch. His biggest problem is people are
Speaker 7: getting to know him and it turns out his record
Speaker 7: in Florida is kind of hurtful to a lot of
Speaker 7: people and hateful and it's not resonating. He also, from
Speaker 7: every report, seems to be a weird guy with voters,
Speaker 7: and when you're in Iowa, New Hampshire, you have to
Speaker 7: talk one on one to them, and I don't think
Speaker 7: he does that really well. I think the person I'd
Speaker 7: be watching for is Tim Scott and those debates.
Speaker 3: Anyway, He's just weird guy, you know, And that kind
Speaker 3: of sums it up.
Speaker 1: I feel like they for a long time were just
Speaker 1: like holding their tongue, like, I guess we got to
Speaker 1: make this the guy. He's the guy, right, like he
Speaker 1: did good in Florida election, and now they're just like,
Speaker 1: all right, we can this is weird, right.
Speaker 2: Well, I see a few pieces too from like the
Speaker 2: never Trump kind of side of the Republican establishment is like, fuck,
Speaker 2: we got to cut our losses.
Speaker 3: Do it ain't DeSantis?
Speaker 2: Like we got to figure out who the fuck it
Speaker 2: can who the Trump alternative even could be now because
Speaker 2: DeSantis has completely broken apart upon re entry. So yeah,
Speaker 2: he's just a weird guy. That's like, honest, I feel
Speaker 2: like that's one of the most fucked up things. Say yeah,
Speaker 2: like not even like his policies are backwards and he's
Speaker 2: a proto fascist. He could be like he's a fucking
Speaker 2: weird guy and like that cuts like even no matter
Speaker 2: your political ideology, go, oh fuck, really he's a weird guy.
Speaker 1: Well you can't, like you can't strategically reconfigure your campaign
Speaker 1: from being a weird guy, Like you can't be like
Speaker 1: all right, I'll stop being a weird guy like that.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine?
Speaker 2: Like I would love this feels like a like a
Speaker 2: comedy where he fires his campaign staff and brings in
Speaker 2: like new consultants and stuff to help with his image,
Speaker 2: and he like comes out like frosted tips.
Speaker 1: Or some shit next week trying to do anything his image.
Speaker 1: Back in the day when he was liking sir mixing
Speaker 1: a lot?
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 1: Did you see that?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's like a high school yearbook picture.
Speaker 3: Oh no, yeah, his yearbook quote that's going viral. Oh
Speaker 3: it's fake?
Speaker 1: Oh is it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: All right, never mind, good to know.
Speaker 3: Damn dude, this photo is real though.
Speaker 1: That middle part of him yeah, ah, his middle part.
Speaker 1: High school days are pretty uh, pretty intense.
Speaker 2: This is so stupid. I love, but I just love
Speaker 2: how stupid the internet is giving him. This is the
Speaker 2: fake quote that that was going viral. Stupid Ronald diss
Speaker 2: and is my Mount Rushmore? Is Jesus, sir mixes a
Speaker 2: lot and Nintendo sixty.
Speaker 1: Four lot is great? All right? And also in Vegas
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Yeah, and I'm surprised nobody's calling us out.
Speaker 1: Only the best folks we were. We were there too.
Speaker 1: But Mel Gibson uh and Donald Trump were spotted plotting
Speaker 1: to overthrow Hollywood aka just chilling with Guy Fieri because
Speaker 1: they were at the same UFC fight. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: mel Gibson was trending on Twitter because with Trump and
Speaker 1: Roger Stone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just figuring it out, figuring it out.
Speaker 2: Just some ideas I got on how to completely take
Speaker 2: us back to the Stone Age. Yeah, the the guy
Speaker 2: Fiertti thing uh and sent does a TikTok today about
Speaker 2: the pictures of Guy Fieri shaking hands with Trump with
Speaker 2: like that's.
Speaker 3: The day the music died. Yeah, well, you know, he
Speaker 3: just respects the office. Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like that is not surprising in the
Speaker 1: least bit for uh.
Speaker 3: No, I don't. I don't Guy Fieri. He's truly like
Speaker 3: in the middle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like in that sense of like because he's I
Speaker 2: think he has he has enough appeal to progressives because
Speaker 2: of his like LGBTQ stances and how outspoken he's been there,
Speaker 2: and then just by being like the fucking spicy Nacho's
Speaker 2: guy on TV is enough to get conservatives on board.
Speaker 2: And then he'll be like, well, I'm not gonna He's like,
Speaker 2: I'm not fucking Cornell West. I'm gonna turn my back.
Speaker 3: On the President and just say hello, Hey, I'm Guy.
Speaker 1: But according to right wing conspiracy theorists, this is because
Speaker 1: they're hatching some kind of elaborate plan that nothing can
Speaker 1: stop to expose all the pedophiles in Hollywood. And really,
Speaker 1: who better the we this is the Mel Gibson and
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and who better to weed out abusers in
Speaker 1: Hollywood than mel Gibson. He's probably telling that Trump is
Speaker 1: like it takes a thief. Yeah, you're like, okay breaking.
Speaker 1: President Trump holds meeting with mel Gibson and Roger Stone
Speaker 1: after Sound of Freedom tops box office tops.
Speaker 3: Box Now that's a narrative.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 3: Uh huh.
Speaker 1: Apparently mel Gibson's a big fan of the Sound of
Speaker 1: Freedom even had input on its final edit. Oh really
Speaker 1: yeah apparently.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: I mean it's he had like another one of the
Speaker 1: like successful right wing movie marketing campaigns where they basically
Speaker 1: made people think it was their duty to like go
Speaker 1: see the Passion of the Christ. So it makes sense
Speaker 1: to me that he's kind of plugged into this in
Speaker 1: some way. In reality, they were just at a reception
Speaker 1: at a UFC event.
Speaker 3: Okay, hey, Mark Wahlberg was also there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a crew.
Speaker 1: That's my Mount Rushmore. Sorry, sir mixes a lot. You've
Speaker 1: been dumped.
Speaker 2: Its Gibson, Roger Stone, Nintendo Twitch Yeah, and sir mixes
Speaker 2: a lot.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, Gibson, we've seen where he stands
Speaker 1: on on various things. But he, I guess, made headlines
Speaker 1: for saluting Trump at a fight two years ago, and
Speaker 1: it's not.
Speaker 3: Show back to.
Speaker 2: Get out of here, yazy piece of garbage gabbage.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. We didn't see them. We were
Speaker 1: not there for this summit in Las Vegas, unfortunately. We
Speaker 1: were at the sports book. Took some action on the
Speaker 1: Suns and on the Oklahoma City Thunder to win it all,
Speaker 1: Win it all, baby, all right. Those are some of
Speaker 1: the things that are trending on this Monday, July day.
Speaker 1: We are back tomorrow with a who last episode of
Speaker 1: the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be
Speaker 1: kind to yourself, get the vaccine, don't do nothing about
Speaker 1: white supremacy, and we will talk to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Bye bye,
