Speaker 1: magic between my plump thighs. That is courtesy a C

Speaker 1: initials for something. I don't know, but I appreciate you
Speaker 1: on the discord. Plump tighs. Plump, Yeah, I've got like
Speaker 1: some I talked about having strong thighs once and then
Speaker 1: it became a thing and I kind of leaned into it.
Speaker 1: But they're also very white, like they're pale. They've never
Speaker 1: they've never been graced by the son I grew up
Speaker 1: at a time when like shorts reached below the knee,
Speaker 1: and but now it's skies out, thighs out. Jack, You're
Speaker 1: like an impressionist painting it just like an old what
Speaker 1: A bought a chilly type. I'm like a roth code

Speaker 1: that's the amount of child I think everyone should have. Yeah,

Speaker 1: one of our favorite guests, a true pervert, an actor, comedian.
Speaker 1: You know him from his podcast him Mighty the Action Boys,

Speaker 1: John Gabriel. Oh, it's me John Gabriel, a k a.
Speaker 1: Uncle meat Man. Uh. That name brought to you by
Speaker 1: my ex ox handle God Uncle meat Man, Uncle met Man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know where that came from. I think I
Speaker 1: wanted to go with meat Man and they said it
Speaker 1: was taken, so I was like, oh, let me throw
Speaker 1: uncle in front. That was like the runner up name
Speaker 1: to like the Baba Duke film. It was like, it's
Speaker 1: either Uncle meat Man or Babad which one's scarier, but
Speaker 1: at the same time, like the thing you run in
Speaker 1: to when you're online gaming is like annoying kids who
Speaker 1: like think they're better than you, and this is a
Speaker 1: name that should get them all to just run the
Speaker 1: other way a little bit strategically and keeping with the pattern.
Speaker 1: Even better than a part time mother, by the way,
Speaker 1: is a full time uncle you get. Let me just
Speaker 1: say even less responsibility. Yeah exactly. I am the uncle
Speaker 1: meat Man to a number of young children in the
Speaker 1: New York New Jersey region and I miss I miss
Speaker 1: them dearly. But I got to go around the corner
Speaker 1: of pump. The uncle has to pump as well. A
Speaker 1: lot of people we don't want to is what that
Speaker 1: even means. But yeah, no, I appreciate the delay for
Speaker 1: the pumping. It's crazy the pumping game has changed. I
Speaker 1: was at a restaurant away from my kid for like
Speaker 1: forty eight hours and asked longs, yeah exactly. Um it
Speaker 1: was it was like the menu on Netflix was many,
Speaker 1: many courses, and I didn't finish it because I got bored.
Speaker 1: Um but but no, and I was led into like
Speaker 1: I finally was able to pump in the office of
Speaker 1: the restaurant, and like four women were who worked there
Speaker 1: were so like like gracious and oh, of course it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. And I was like, I also like dripped
Speaker 1: a little bit on your paperwork, you know, like they
Speaker 1: were super cool about it. And I feel like in
Speaker 1: you know, back in the eighties, like when my mom
Speaker 1: was having when I was born, like there was no pumping.
Speaker 1: You didn't pump. Actually it was like why don't you
Speaker 1: dry nest lee nest making pure pure formula. I found
Speaker 1: out I had allergies and all and asthma growing up.
Speaker 1: So my mom smoked while she was pregnant with me.
Speaker 1: I'm forty one, you know, and I guess it's stunt
Speaker 1: in my growth to make me only six ft three
Speaker 1: three pounds. God knows what I what kind of freak.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be on podcast. I'd be at like a
Speaker 1: Coney Island. Did shoot pain that she did that for
Speaker 1: your own good? Then yes, thank you, mom for thank
Speaker 1: you for smoking A little A little lesser known movie
Speaker 1: like this guy'st of control. Whatever's going on in here
Speaker 1: is this guy's out of control. We need to we
Speaker 1: need to slow things down. So she smoked smoked a
Speaker 1: couple of Virginia slims. I don't know. My goal is
Speaker 1: to breastfeed until the child doesn't have the eggs ama
Speaker 1: of her father. If you guys know Matt Lee, Matt Lee,
Speaker 1: you might know something about him. He's he is a
Speaker 1: covered in em just a just a he's exomatic. His
Speaker 1: life is hell, it's it's it, it's pain. And so
Speaker 1: his mom thinks that he didn't breastfeed. I mean everyone,
Speaker 1: it's always blamed the mom, right, It's always like, well
Speaker 1: you didn't breaste you know, what did you do? But
Speaker 1: so that's my goal is just sort of like keep
Speaker 1: breastfeeding her and if if she got eggs amo, her
Speaker 1: life is pain. Just blame your dad. Don't blame me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I blame Nesli, by the way, I don't blame mom.
Speaker 1: I blame yeah. Whatever whatever was happening in the media
Speaker 1: at that time where they were like breast milk what
Speaker 1: it's the seventies, babe, it's the couture. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: we are going to get to know you a little bit.
Speaker 1: Better in a moment gave Riels. First, we're gonna tell
Speaker 1: our listeners some of the news that we're talking about,
Speaker 1: a k stories I'm pretending to care and think about
Speaker 1: while the NBA trade deadline is actually completely occupying my
Speaker 1: brain and my phone. Insane trade trade deadline, dude, it's
Speaker 1: fucking wild man. Between that the big game to the
Speaker 1: big Games, has so much stuff to be dealing with
Speaker 1: this weekend, it's hard. Yes, give us a moment, give
Speaker 1: us space to hold this moment. Yes, but we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about the COVID vaccine is becoming a product like
Speaker 1: everything else because Biden has ended the COVID state of emergency,
Speaker 1: so now it's just gonna be a product. And we're
Speaker 1: starting to get celebrity COVID vaccine commercials. So we'll review
Speaker 1: some of the early ones of that, and then we're
Speaker 1: gonna get into the big game. Folks. I know you've
Speaker 1: all been waiting for us to talk about it. Banama, banama.
Speaker 1: That's all I know? Is that today? Or is that Okay? Sorry,
Speaker 1: that's my only contribution to this super Ball Monday. It's
Speaker 1: like cyber Monday, and just watch the game on your
Speaker 1: like U phone the next day. Yeah, I'm sure there's
Speaker 1: they're going to have all three sixty five days like
Speaker 1: locked down with some sort of shopping holiday by the time,
Speaker 1: Like we're this episode airs by the time this comes
Speaker 1: out tomorrow. But we're gonna talking about the fact that
Speaker 1: there are no crypto ads at this year's Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Who big big change from last year that Avocados from
Speaker 1: Mexico was trying to do something with chet GPT. But
Speaker 1: so yeah, all of that plenty more. But first gamers,
Speaker 1: we like to ask our guests, what is something from
Speaker 1: your search history that's revealing about who you? Oh? Interesting, Okay,
Speaker 1: here is something that is for my most recent and
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just going pure earnest here. My most recent
Speaker 1: search is minimalist shoes for heavy person. WHOA. So I'm
Speaker 1: a big fan of flat bottom shoes. When I switched
Speaker 1: from like actual cushy sneakers to more like minimalist uh
Speaker 1: no drop shoes while going to the gym, back pain
Speaker 1: that I had went away. So I kind of got
Speaker 1: hooked on like these minimal issues, but they're not ideal
Speaker 1: for like stomping around if you are sixty plus pounds overweight.
Speaker 1: So I was trying to see if there's anything that
Speaker 1: exists like in an ideal. So I've gotten a few set,
Speaker 1: I've gotten a few orders and these are going back.
Speaker 1: These Vivo barefoots are a little too big. I've been trying.
Speaker 1: So I'm at that, you know, forty one year old,
Speaker 1: uh no child, no, uh no responsibility, like let me
Speaker 1: find the perfect shoe for myself. And I've just been
Speaker 1: more or less become like a drop shipping unit here
Speaker 1: where I just try something on and then I have
Speaker 1: to bring it to you, Pia, I'm losing money on
Speaker 1: like just man, I mean, these are the thing, first
Speaker 1: of all, never heard of minimal issues. And I love
Speaker 1: that idea because it's true. There's a lot of heel
Speaker 1: on shoes. There's a lot of bullshit, a lot of cushion,
Speaker 1: which kind of puts you in like a weird spot.
Speaker 1: And if you are like a big heel on the shoe,
Speaker 1: like and you're walking or running and your landing heel
Speaker 1: first because you're so protected by the heel, that's not
Speaker 1: ideal mechanics. Allegedly, this is what I my minor research
Speaker 1: as my I listen to one episode of Joe Rogan
Speaker 1: and I think I've sorted it all up. So do
Speaker 1: like our Chuck Taylor's minimal issues, because this hurt the
Speaker 1: ship out of my feet. They they're so flat, They're
Speaker 1: so flat, they are so flat. You could do better
Speaker 1: than that, like something that fits your foot a little better.
Speaker 1: But Chuck Taylor's I first like learned my love of
Speaker 1: flat bottom shoes with Chuck Taylors and power lifting, a
Speaker 1: sport I used to compete in. You kind of want
Speaker 1: flat bottom or slight lift in the heel. You don't
Speaker 1: want like a lot of cushion when you have loads,
Speaker 1: when you have loads on your back. God, how many
Speaker 1: times have I said that in my life? You don't
Speaker 1: want a lot of cushion if you're getting a load
Speaker 1: on your back. Get those pillows out of there. You
Speaker 1: don't want cushions around when you have a bunch of
Speaker 1: looks when you're taking a load. But so I got
Speaker 1: into Chuck Taylor's that way. Now my my go to
Speaker 1: are these like new balanced Minimus they made with like
Speaker 1: vibram bottom. See like there's like not a lot to
Speaker 1: the shoe there. Oh yeah, oh yeah, those are like
Speaker 1: the oreo thins of shoes, Like you just squished down
Speaker 1: your shoe and it was like I've not just date
Speaker 1: the whole thing, just took it down in one bite.
Speaker 1: I just know that all those shoes that are like
Speaker 1: all birds are like rath these they're so expensive, they're
Speaker 1: like three. I mean, those are ones that are I
Speaker 1: don't know, they're made out of like knit, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know what the fun they're made up st um.
Speaker 1: But my question is when do we all just realize
Speaker 1: that like orthopedic shoes that senior citizens wear are actually
Speaker 1: comfortable as ship and we should just wear them like
Speaker 1: the ones with like the and like norm core. It
Speaker 1: becomes kind of in style, it becomes like part of everything,
Speaker 1: you know, the ones that like the really big scene
Speaker 1: around and they're always like gray or you know, right,
Speaker 1: we should be wearing what whatever is most comfortable for you,
Speaker 1: for people to be able to walk in and not
Speaker 1: hurt themselves and have like not we should excuse I
Speaker 1: know so many fashion heads. We should just excuse. You
Speaker 1: should be allowed to wear whatever you want from the
Speaker 1: ankles down, no matter what the rest of your body. Like,
Speaker 1: I hate that. Let's go with waste down past pandemic.
Speaker 1: It's wait, I mean post. Don't drag me over just
Speaker 1: because the whole world acts like it is. It's not over,
Speaker 1: and you can't say it is. Another comment you're getting
Speaker 1: is shut shut up about the pandemic. It's been over
Speaker 1: for three years, Like it doesn't matter. It's just like
Speaker 1: the world is split malf you know. Yeah, I feel
Speaker 1: like gen Z has sort of kind of moved moved
Speaker 1: in the direction of the orthopedic sneaker, the like really
Speaker 1: chunky s sneaker. Hoka is like they're wearing like nurse shoes,
Speaker 1: Like yeah, that's the nurse shoes. And they're also bell
Speaker 1: bottoms are coming back. It was like a rainy day
Speaker 1: and I watched this like gen Z or just trudge
Speaker 1: around soaked bottom of their pants. If I talked about
Speaker 1: do you guys remember like I don't know when you
Speaker 1: went to high school, but just remember when it would
Speaker 1: rain and your jeans would be soaked and that was
Speaker 1: just your day, Like you would just be wet all
Speaker 1: the time. My pants were so big that like but
Speaker 1: like the bottom third of them could disintegrate and it
Speaker 1: would still be fine. But yeah, it was. It was
Speaker 1: a mess. But I went Yeah, I went to high
Speaker 1: school in the mid to late nineties, and I had
Speaker 1: my fucking baggy jeans and one more layer to it.
Speaker 1: I had one pair of jeans like my friends, we're
Speaker 1: gonna buy me a second pair, So the bottom got
Speaker 1: wet and muddy on Monday, it was brown on Tuesday
Speaker 1: through Friday at school, like sucks. I only have one
Speaker 1: pair of Jenkos and wearing them every day. It's just
Speaker 1: like snow. Your jeans are like progressively getting dirtier and dirtier. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: especially if you live on the East Coast, the salt
Speaker 1: on the street pants. Yeah if I if I, if
Speaker 1: you wore snow boots, you would get absolutely roasted. So
Speaker 1: the best you could do is Tim's. And of course
Speaker 1: I'm I'm poor. I grew up poor. I'm I'm still
Speaker 1: pretty poor, but better than it was just a kid.
Speaker 1: I make more money than my parents doing way less work,
Speaker 1: which I guess is honorable. Um. But I would wear
Speaker 1: like my knockoff non waterproof tims from pay Less shoe source,
Speaker 1: and it would be like immediately socks wet in school
Speaker 1: and I'm like, everyone's like, why are your shoes? So
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, they're fine, man, They're perfect for the snow.
Speaker 1: I think the real next level of gen Z thing
Speaker 1: to adopt from the elderly is those like the body
Speaker 1: air bags. Where have you seen those? Where like you
Speaker 1: fall over and like an air bag explodes around your body,
Speaker 1: like the big wave surfers at Nazaret where they made
Speaker 1: these like special wet suits that can like detect like
Speaker 1: a crush. Yeah, and it inflates in a few different
Speaker 1: spots to protect you and keep you afloat. I want
Speaker 1: to just be able to take a nap onmit, like
Speaker 1: whenever I want just a spontaneous nap, just go to
Speaker 1: sleep while walking down the street. That'd be awesome. It's
Speaker 1: all exclusively for narcalypse. I can't wait till they make
Speaker 1: like an inhaler that puts you asleep for like you
Speaker 1: pick the amount of hours, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: You're just like you get like the asthma Michael Jackson
Speaker 1: brandher right, take a rip of whatever it is and
Speaker 1: just three hours, thank you. And I was thinking about
Speaker 1: that because they do have like insulin pumps and all
Speaker 1: these various you know, medical equipment that you can have
Speaker 1: installed that put various medications into your bloodstream. Like it's
Speaker 1: we have to be you know again, by the time
Speaker 1: this episode publishes, like rich people are going to get those,
Speaker 1: and they'll just be like all purpose, like whatever your blood,
Speaker 1: whatever you want in your blood chemistry, like you can do.
Speaker 1: They'll be like botox installations. You can have that like
Speaker 1: reinflate your cheeks at night while you see. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: want to get a THC port just just be able
Speaker 1: to put a vape cart right in my fucking heart,
Speaker 1: just right, just put one THC pellet in and be
Speaker 1: half stoned all day long so I can process the
Speaker 1: fucking There aren't enough ports. There aren't enough things that
Speaker 1: are delivered via port just recreationally. Absolutely, when my mom
Speaker 1: is a cancer survivor and when we were younger, you know,
Speaker 1: you get a port installed to make the chemo easier.
Speaker 1: And to me, as I was like, I wasn't a kid,
Speaker 1: I was like nineteen or so when my mom was
Speaker 1: going through it, and I could not wrap my head
Speaker 1: around the idea of like you're getting like a device
Speaker 1: added to you temper like crazier than any other thing
Speaker 1: I could imagine. It's like, honestly, the easiest way to
Speaker 1: do this is to build a hole in your body
Speaker 1: that we can have access to and I was just like,
Speaker 1: to this day, I find that so intrigued. We're going
Speaker 1: to turn you into one of the batteries from the
Speaker 1: Matrix medicine. Yeah, sorry, you know kung fu. Now my bad.
Speaker 1: You still have States four breast cancer. But you do
Speaker 1: know win chun. So hopefully it'll be okay. Uh, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break, we'll come back. We'll do some
Speaker 1: overrated underrated and we're back. And Gabriel, what's something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated? Right now? I'm angry and uh furious
Speaker 1: with the the food delivery apps. I know this is
Speaker 1: some like first world problem ship, but it's disgusting. Man.
Speaker 1: It's like all those like Intermediate. It's just like the
Speaker 1: store gets sucked over, the customer gets sucked over, and
Speaker 1: like shareholders across like uh the world make money and
Speaker 1: the drivers don't make money. The customer overpays and the
Speaker 1: restaurant doesn't see as much profit. It's like it's a
Speaker 1: fucking nightmare, but it just harnesses our lazy entergy. You
Speaker 1: and I consider myself like you know, a labor guy work,
Speaker 1: but it's it's so hard not to just click click click,
Speaker 1: and then like my food is here, but I feel
Speaker 1: like service has gotten worse and more expensive in almost
Speaker 1: every facet of society. But I feel like this these
Speaker 1: digital realms, I'm I see it even more. I feel
Speaker 1: like food delivery, rideshare and all that ship has just
Speaker 1: gotten more expensive and worse. Like they got the trojan
Speaker 1: horse of getting us hooked on it. It's like the
Speaker 1: price of meth just went up, you know exactly. They
Speaker 1: hide the labor and human interaction behind the app and
Speaker 1: called and it's called friction. They're like, that's that's friction,
Speaker 1: and people inherently want to avoid that, and so we're
Speaker 1: gonna hide it from them and like keep it and
Speaker 1: that will enable us to like treat our employees more
Speaker 1: like ship like because nobody has to like see that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it is really it feels like this extract
Speaker 1: like capitalism has become this extractive force where it's just
Speaker 1: like a couple big companies like on the coasts are
Speaker 1: just like going around and just you know, sucking up
Speaker 1: all the value out of all of these communities. And yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's and it's sort of an agreement because I
Speaker 1: feel like, if you are a restaurant and you want
Speaker 1: to go back to like or you want to hire,
Speaker 1: you are able to hire a delivery person or a
Speaker 1: couple or whatever that whether it's Yelp or it's Google,
Speaker 1: they're hiding your phone number, so it's not easy to
Speaker 1: find the phone number of restaurants if you actually want
Speaker 1: to directly call them. It's you're gonna be given Okay,
Speaker 1: it's is it uber eats, is it doored ashes? You
Speaker 1: can order via Google? And so that's like an entire consensus,
Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, because I'm sure it's
Speaker 1: worked out with whatever, you know, Google Ads or revenue streams.
Speaker 1: So they're all sort of working in cahoots against both again,
Speaker 1: the restaurant, the delivery person, and you. And then you
Speaker 1: feel like the asshole because it's like, well, do you
Speaker 1: want to add a tip on top? And you're like yeah,
Speaker 1: but there's already like fifteen dollars of fees and I
Speaker 1: but I don't want to be an asshole, and I
Speaker 1: know this person is doing me in massive favor. And
Speaker 1: the second thing I'm gonna say is like, I want ranking,
Speaker 1: Like I want to know there needs to be more transparency.
Speaker 1: What's the worst one to work for? What's the best
Speaker 1: one to work for is instant cart the same as
Speaker 1: as you know, door dash or is it a little
Speaker 1: bit better? Like as a consumer, I feel like I
Speaker 1: want to know that. I want to know from the
Speaker 1: driver's perspective. Is that what you're saying, Frances, because that's
Speaker 1: what I want. I want the driver to be. Like
Speaker 1: grubhub gives us the most tip, I'm like, then I'll
Speaker 1: only use grub Like right, tell me what it is.
Speaker 1: But we need some funk And this is like what
Speaker 1: we unfortunately need in like eleven different facets of society.
Speaker 1: But we need some sort of you know, uh, magnanimous
Speaker 1: person to build a app that is for delivery. And
Speaker 1: it's like it's ads supporting or something like you have
Speaker 1: to watch and you have to commit to be like
Speaker 1: I'll watch you one minute. Add to order food from
Speaker 1: this where they don't take fees from restaurant or fees
Speaker 1: from the driver or if someone came out, it's like, look,
Speaker 1: the least we could run this business on is one
Speaker 1: percent from the restaurant, one percent from the driver. I'd
Speaker 1: be like, tell me that, because someone come along and
Speaker 1: I think there is an entire lane being avoided of
Speaker 1: like slightly less evil versions of evil companies, Like I
Speaker 1: think you could, like I think you could get a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of good hearted people with extra money in
Speaker 1: their pockets to go, like, well, it's just slightly easier
Speaker 1: if I use this car, so that's slightly better for
Speaker 1: the driver. If I use this car service, I'm in, like,
Speaker 1: I'll just use that in perpetuity. I think there needs
Speaker 1: to be a few we need to like start some
Speaker 1: ship like that where it's like something that you know.
Speaker 1: And maybe I'm just saying this because I want guilt
Speaker 1: free laziness just like embarrassing, but I do, and I'll
Speaker 1: pay more for it, especially if that more goes to
Speaker 1: a person and not a grub hub shareholder or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but we absolutely need Craig from Craigslist to like build
Speaker 1: a website where you can get the rankings of like
Speaker 1: just like here's what people who actually work for this say.
Speaker 1: And there are no sponsors of this website, so you
Speaker 1: just you know, we'll take a small percentage from your
Speaker 1: order or something something I don't I don't know why.
Speaker 1: I'm now like trying to make the business model work well.
Speaker 1: And I would say even on a smaller scale, if
Speaker 1: I would open a pizzeria in l A or any
Speaker 1: major city, I would have advertising that's like, we're not
Speaker 1: on apps, call us delivery is this much plus tip,
Speaker 1: like no hidden service fees, no corporation get money, just me,
Speaker 1: Vincenzo and whoever my driver is, you know, like and
Speaker 1: also having a regular driver for the restaurant really helps
Speaker 1: when there's like a small issue. But when there's like
Speaker 1: an issue and someone's like, sorry, man, I'm already I
Speaker 1: already got five different meals in my back seat getting
Speaker 1: cold that I gotta drop off elsewhere, it's like it's well,
Speaker 1: that's the last thing. I mean, this is the first
Speaker 1: world problem. But man, ordering fast food and I like,
Speaker 1: I'm a fucking bougie motherfucker, like I do not. I
Speaker 1: don't eat like Jack in the Box or McDonald's. And
Speaker 1: my fast food is like a chicken sandwich from whatever,
Speaker 1: some like non chain place whatever. What I'm saying is
Speaker 1: sandwiches like that kind of fast food or burgers always
Speaker 1: end up cold. You order fries on delivery, they are
Speaker 1: gonna be cold, and it sucks. It's so, you know,
Speaker 1: how do you reheat fast food? Guess the answer is
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't reheat fast food. You try, I
Speaker 1: try in the toaster of sandwiches. Yah, sandwiches are a problem. Fries.
Speaker 1: I feel like the air fryer has solved a big problem,
Speaker 1: like having a phone. We need to get you an
Speaker 1: air fry Well, then you're not as bogie as you
Speaker 1: say you are. There, I guess air fryer. The fries
Speaker 1: in the air fryer. But you can't just stick a
Speaker 1: sandwich in there, you know, with like lettuce and tomato sandwiches.
Speaker 1: Too many temperatures at play. Yeah, but anyway is what
Speaker 1: is something you think is underrated? What's underrated is just
Speaker 1: smoking flower, just smoking grass, smoking actual weed. No infusions,
Speaker 1: no diamonds, no th h And I'm a fan of
Speaker 1: all that ship. But there's something pure about just having
Speaker 1: a manta pucciano versus like a twelve different ingredient cocktail,
Speaker 1: Like the idea of like someone put the energy into
Speaker 1: growing this flower and to making a top shelf, and
Speaker 1: then you grind it, concentrate it, slip it, flap it,
Speaker 1: fuck it, jam it into some you know, a banana
Speaker 1: flavored fucking paper or whatever. All that jazz that happens,
Speaker 1: all fun and games, but I think I've I think
Speaker 1: one part I'm saying this is because I fucking blown
Speaker 1: my tolerance out, my asshole. I can like can't afford
Speaker 1: to be a stoner anymore. And there's something like I
Speaker 1: got into weed because it was like it's natural, man,
Speaker 1: And now I'm smoking, like this is the distillation combined,
Speaker 1: you know, and it's like I'm getting a little outside
Speaker 1: of natural. Now I get a little more science. It's
Speaker 1: not this is not the weed that whenever you talk
Speaker 1: about like Willie Nelson smokes weed and is still like,
Speaker 1: you know, live forever. It's like he's not smoking like
Speaker 1: twelve different infusions on top and like and so in
Speaker 1: my head it's I've been trying to do that with
Speaker 1: food too, you know, going back to more like whole foods.
Speaker 1: Like the thing you're eating, the ingredient is the name
Speaker 1: of it, Like, oh, I'm having chicken, what's in it?
Speaker 1: It's chicken? Chicken going down. I haven't look, I haven't
Speaker 1: gotten high, and maybe two years however, I will no God,
Speaker 1: I it's well, also, yeah, my partner is sober, and
Speaker 1: my partner we're talking about that later is sober, and
Speaker 1: so I just don't want to be the only one high,
Speaker 1: you know, in the house, unless you know when the
Speaker 1: baby can get high, then we won't hang. But I
Speaker 1: love flowers. There's no high like just good flowers. That's it.
Speaker 1: I am so convinced of this fact. Well, the fucking
Speaker 1: shatter and what's the other one, the dabs and all
Speaker 1: the things that get you too high. I'm someone who
Speaker 1: doesn't have a high tolerance with two or three hits
Speaker 1: of really good flower. And I'm not talking about vaping,
Speaker 1: and I'm not talking about I mean, yeah, I'll smoke,
Speaker 1: not a split, like I don't want it with tobacco,
Speaker 1: But just straight flower is so beautiful. It's just perfect.
Speaker 1: It's a perfect sucking high. Yeah, when I I I
Speaker 1: am sober, and but when I was smoking weed, I
Speaker 1: I don't think any of those things existed, and the
Speaker 1: flower would get me way too high, really, like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, everyone hates me. Well, that wasn't the flower,
Speaker 1: that was your personality exactly. I wouldn't for that jacket. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it wasn't just in my head. Everyone sometimes you are right,
Speaker 1: But yeah, I feel like Willie Nelson was smoking some
Speaker 1: ship that was like grown on a farm in Kentucky
Speaker 1: that was defended by those sharp sticks with poop on them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like that just like the real Yeah, well like you
Speaker 1: like when you I went to like New Zealand for
Speaker 1: a few weeks once with my wife and like nothing
Speaker 1: is labeled organic there, and like a kiwi was like
Speaker 1: told us. It's like, oh, nothing's organic. Everything's organic, so
Speaker 1: we don't have to write it. And it's just like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's a get Like that's a possible world where it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: the default is the safest way that everything has grown
Speaker 1: and processed and ship the kiwi. Wait was it a
Speaker 1: fruit kiwi or a person kiwi? It was a fruit
Speaker 1: kiwi that was talking to me, but they were from
Speaker 1: New Zealand, so technically it was a kiwi kiwi. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's like a delicacy there to like get something that's
Speaker 1: like grown in it, like the American version, Like they're
Speaker 1: uber healthier, Like I have a section of the like
Speaker 1: these are from farm cows. They're depressed and the meat
Speaker 1: is bad, and it's like oh, just like the American
Speaker 1: it's like eating like flag Rod. It's like the animals
Speaker 1: treated so poorly the food taste better. Like yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: let's talk about celebrity COVID vaccine commercials. Finally, Yes, I've
Speaker 1: been waiting for them. I mean, there were definitely the
Speaker 1: p s A s with celebrities, you know, warning people
Speaker 1: about COVID. All fine, but yeah, we're we're entering a
Speaker 1: new era where, you know, Biden has ended the COVID
Speaker 1: state of emergency. Soon, the government won't provide vaccines for
Speaker 1: free to the public, so the drug companies will almost
Speaker 1: certainly be jacking up the price, you know, putting them
Speaker 1: on the free market. Maderna will reportedly raise the price
Speaker 1: of their vaccine to as much as one hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty dollars a dose, up from six the government was paying.
Speaker 1: And yeah, which is a fucking huge bomber. That's yeah awful.
Speaker 1: I don't like my initial instinct is like, well, then
Speaker 1: now no one's going to be vaccinated. On the other hand,
Speaker 1: I think I forget where I heard this observation. It
Speaker 1: might have just been like a stand up thing or something.
Speaker 1: But the the idea that like people were so skeptical
Speaker 1: about the vaccine because it was being given away for free, like,
Speaker 1: and that wasn't a stand up. That was like, you know,
Speaker 1: right wingers on TikTok. We're being like, so this is free?
Speaker 1: How come healthcare is not free? And you're like, you
Speaker 1: got it, you got you got it? There, circling, circling, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but no, for sure it was sus in this country.
Speaker 1: How sad is our fucking country that it was sus
Speaker 1: that something during a national health crisis was actually freely available? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is like if if there's lines for it and it's
Speaker 1: being given away for free, that's like that is serving
Speaker 1: like food pantry. Whereas if it's their alignes for it
Speaker 1: and you're overcharging me, that like gives me hot new
Speaker 1: brunch spot. I want the Supreme vaccination, like I want
Speaker 1: the meat all that has the little red sticker on
Speaker 1: it fair Fax for it. You want this to be
Speaker 1: like boarding an airplane, you know, there needs to be
Speaker 1: like different tiers. I'm not gonna do anything or get
Speaker 1: anything unless I feel better than someone else for getting it. No,
Speaker 1: no one's gonna get it, Jack. I think your instinct
Speaker 1: is correct. I think no one's gonna pay certainly not
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty dollars. But once again, this is
Speaker 1: cost prohibitive, just like so many things in our medical
Speaker 1: system are. I mean It's very tough because this is
Speaker 1: the week where, you know, Joe Biden on a national stage,
Speaker 1: you know, rightfully says we're happing the cost of insulin
Speaker 1: and it's been long overdue. When we're going to cap
Speaker 1: it it what was it thirty five, which I still
Speaker 1: think is really expensive, but like you know, on it,
Speaker 1: you know, everyone heard him say that. And then with
Speaker 1: the other hand, they're taking away a free COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: vaccine that my god, we fucking paid for. Like this
Speaker 1: is these are our taxpayer dial dollars that went to
Speaker 1: the innovation and the engineering around the COVID vaccine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like Dolly Parton fucking donated money to get it popping off.
Speaker 1: And now they're gonna get to raise the prices. That's
Speaker 1: so fucking whack. That's like, that's the business is broken.
Speaker 1: It's like, alright, guys, everyone pooling the money. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: buy us some pizza. Alright, great, I got pizza. Hey,
Speaker 1: we have about ten pizzas left. I'm selling them for
Speaker 1: eight dollars of slice. Wait, no, no, no, I was.
Speaker 1: I threw down the original money for the pizza. I
Speaker 1: just don't need any more pizza because I've already had
Speaker 1: my two slices and to booster slices, and it's like, well, well,
Speaker 1: if anyone else wants a slice, they gotta pay eight dollars.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, but if anyone's coming this late, we
Speaker 1: should be happy that they we have the pizza that
Speaker 1: they want in this moment. But it's ignored that these
Speaker 1: massive corporations are subsidized by taxpayer dollars and given tax breaks,
Speaker 1: and you know, so like that just that doesn't get
Speaker 1: reported in the same way that there's like never going
Speaker 1: to be a website that tells you which of these
Speaker 1: food delivery services like mysteries they're employees the most. And
Speaker 1: let's be real, like a hundred thirty dollars, like now
Speaker 1: that if it's a market price, the fair market price,
Speaker 1: you guys think that the COVID nineteen vaccine is worth
Speaker 1: a d No, definitely not. How many breakthrough cases have
Speaker 1: there been, Like without being an antivactor, we can safely
Speaker 1: say these vaccines are good. They're not going to protect you,
Speaker 1: so you're gonna need to lower that that price for sure.
Speaker 1: It well, also we're talking about it from the standpoint
Speaker 1: of fightser ads, right, Yeah, and they're gonna be a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ad. So how much does that cost a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ad? For all the talent, the directors, that
Speaker 1: the the media, by all the production costs, that is
Speaker 1: insanely expensive. Not to mention, every single pharmaceutical agency has
Speaker 1: its own in house advertising and marketing, which is a
Speaker 1: whole another slew of money to advertise medicine to us.
Speaker 1: Things that are imagine a company that had water had
Speaker 1: a ten million dollar a year water advertising budget to
Speaker 1: try to sell water. But I mean this is true,
Speaker 1: but we need medicine, that we need medicine to live
Speaker 1: and they and this is the ship where I get
Speaker 1: like really stressed about stuff is because like police departments
Speaker 1: have PR department. Yea l a p D has like
Speaker 1: forty employees that aren't cops that work in marketing and PR.
Speaker 1: That's an egregious misuse of our money. You see their
Speaker 1: viral video on May the fourth when they like like
Speaker 1: got R two D two in a video where he
Speaker 1: like blessed the like one of the L A p
Speaker 1: D like sky hunter killer drones like came by and
Speaker 1: like shocked it with like a little thing. Didn't make
Speaker 1: any sense, but they like you know, spend a bunch
Speaker 1: of money to be like, hey, kids, check this ship out. Now,
Speaker 1: I do wanna like we we haven't described the ad yet.
Speaker 1: We're saying that people aren't going to get the vaccine,
Speaker 1: but you shouldn't work that. This ad is pretty cool
Speaker 1: and has a very straightforward, coherent message. So it stars
Speaker 1: Martha Stewart for some reason. She's wielding a giant katana
Speaker 1: sword and she's talking about the unwanted guests that is
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. Then she's slicing a pineapple with the katanas sword,
Speaker 1: shows a band aid on her arm, at which point
Speaker 1: the slogan got booster in the got milk funt shows
Speaker 1: up on the like it's truly just like brain, just
Speaker 1: random brains firing off in a vat of just like yeah,
Speaker 1: no coherent of like pharma ads and and look, I
Speaker 1: know a lot of comics. We wouldn't necessarily want to
Speaker 1: work for a farmer company, but we also need money.
Speaker 1: We could write you a better fucking ad than this.
Speaker 1: Just hire us, right, I don't know, this is pretty good.
Speaker 1: You you have to be on some next level like that.
Speaker 1: This is the product of dabs and shatter, Yes, and
Speaker 1: I Martha Stewart pineapple, although isn't like pineapple. It's like
Speaker 1: what I was talking about yesterday, how like nine eleven
Speaker 1: is like catnip for liars, Like liars just all naturally
Speaker 1: gravitate towards nine eleven. I feel like pineapples are like
Speaker 1: cat nip for like hack comedy writers like, isn't that
Speaker 1: like a thing? Pineapple? Yeah? Don't. Isn't that like the
Speaker 1: number one improv at improv people like pineapple? It's also
Speaker 1: the uh sign you're in the swinger community. If you
Speaker 1: put his apple on your door door on a cruise
Speaker 1: or whatever, that means like give a knock and let's fuck.
Speaker 1: Oh you gotta pack a whole lass pineapple for the cruise.
Speaker 1: I think I mean more like a pineapple magmat or
Speaker 1: sticker or something. I don't. I don't think you hang
Speaker 1: a full pineapple get stopped at customs. Oh sorry, you're
Speaker 1: allowed to have this. If you're willing to let someone
Speaker 1: fuck your wife on this cruise, Thank you, sir. You
Speaker 1: get one more carry on for that. Uh. First of all,
Speaker 1: I I like that Martha Stewart is in this That's
Speaker 1: the only part I like about it. But that's because
Speaker 1: I think she might be a prison abolitionist after serving
Speaker 1: time in prison. Now, why weren't there celebrity covid ads
Speaker 1: when we were just trying to get people to take
Speaker 1: it for free? Oh, because now they're gonna push it
Speaker 1: and try to make money. We needed these fucking ads
Speaker 1: like three years ago. We needed celebrities pushing this ship
Speaker 1: a while ago, but none of them would because they
Speaker 1: were ready to turn off the fucking buying audience. Right,
Speaker 1: we didn't have the budget for it, right. I feel
Speaker 1: like there were some p s A s. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think they had big celebrities at the at
Speaker 1: the forefront. No, And and the celebrities are a little weird.
Speaker 1: I mean there's Michael Phelps, which I'm like, you probably
Speaker 1: don't want a dude who like is maybe like a
Speaker 1: frog person like selling your vaccine to you know, like
Speaker 1: he has he has like little flippers on his feet,
Speaker 1: and like the antivactors already think that this turns you
Speaker 1: into like, you know, frog. You know what I want
Speaker 1: to say, like a reptile mutant. Yet vaccine exactly exact
Speaker 1: into it, be like hell, yeah it does give you,
Speaker 1: it does cause mutations. I got a sample of the
Speaker 1: Fiser vaccine right before the Olympics, and I want eight.
Speaker 1: But see that would actually be funny because that would
Speaker 1: be self aware. Of course, they like Fiser and Maderna.
Speaker 1: Like if you actually wanted to roll on the A campaign,
Speaker 1: you don't use celebrities. Why because anti actors hate celebrities
Speaker 1: because they live in Hollywood and their woke and you know, no,
Speaker 1: you want some random red state mega voter who was
Speaker 1: like my dad died or you know, I was on
Speaker 1: life support. I was, I was in the i c
Speaker 1: U and now I will get a vaccination and I
Speaker 1: need to protect me and my family. Like that's what
Speaker 1: you really want. This has to be And this is
Speaker 1: an interesting sort of point, right, Like when you have
Speaker 1: nonprofits that are doing this kind of work and who
Speaker 1: are partnering with the government, you might get ads that
Speaker 1: are like this is your brain on drugs, you know,
Speaker 1: or like this is your you know, like where the
Speaker 1: drunk driving ads? You know where it's like some awful
Speaker 1: like you know, four year old kid dies in a
Speaker 1: terrible car accident and you have like the photos of
Speaker 1: their third birthday, you know all that. But that stuff works, right.
Speaker 1: What doesn't work necessary is some dumb celebrity hawking the
Speaker 1: boot the vaccine that's not actually gonna work. So do
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying? You gotta scare people, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: but you fear use the stick, not the carrot, asshole exactly.
Speaker 1: It just feels crazy because this ad means that Visor
Speaker 1: shareholders and Visor execs are gonna get rich. Three Hollywood,
Speaker 1: three rich people are gonna get slightly richer. Quest Love,
Speaker 1: Martha Stewart, Michael Phelips, and whoever else is in the pink.
Speaker 1: These people are all gonna get slightly richer. Is it
Speaker 1: gonna get anyone to turn to the vaccine now that
Speaker 1: you gotta pay for it? I fucking doubt it. I
Speaker 1: feel like, if you wanted the vaccine, you got it.
Speaker 1: If you're like, if you're a parent and you and
Speaker 1: your kid becomes the age that they can get a vaccine,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get it for them. But I feel like
Speaker 1: some parents might not get a hundred and thirty dollar
Speaker 1: vaccine for their newly five year old child or whatever,
Speaker 1: like and and do they have to pay like going forward,
Speaker 1: if like a kid becomes vaccine age, do they have
Speaker 1: to pay full price? That's fucking bananas. What's gonna cause
Speaker 1: us who wanted to this, like we we First of all,
Speaker 1: the program should have been you get a hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty dollars if you get vaccinated. Yes, yes, you get
Speaker 1: a hundred dollar fucking target gift card like playing with
Speaker 1: someone and and everyone. Honestly, if they said you get
Speaker 1: a hundred dollars to get vaccinated, I guarantee, like you know,
Speaker 1: we would have an uptick of like eight percent of
Speaker 1: people who are like I know, I fucking I know,
Speaker 1: I was outside of a fucking uh drag Queen story
Speaker 1: hour with a fucking you know, paintball mask on earl
Speaker 1: here and an a R fifteen. But I think I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go get my I'm gonna go get the shot
Speaker 1: now because I can make a hundo money fucking walks dude.
Speaker 1: But again, it's all these ideas that work in a
Speaker 1: direction that like I a lot of times to talk
Speaker 1: about the American populist and like America as it functions
Speaker 1: as like a human body, and like the idea of
Speaker 1: sending money from corporations or from the government downward two people,
Speaker 1: which like happened once during the pandemic, like that is
Speaker 1: something that the United States is allergic to and when
Speaker 1: they did that once, the fucking media flipped out. And
Speaker 1: it's not that the people are like themselves not for it.
Speaker 1: It's just that the entire you know, corporate media, infrastructure
Speaker 1: and all of that just resisted at every turn to
Speaker 1: the point that it just like goes away. Industry industry
Speaker 1: still piste off about it because they basically blame those stipends.
Speaker 1: What were they called, Why am I blanking on them? Um? Stimulus?
Speaker 1: The stimulus, thank you. They blame the stimulus for the
Speaker 1: fact that labor has too much power right now. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: they got all upity because you gave the money so
Speaker 1: they could eat food. And what what happens when people
Speaker 1: eat food is they want to start getting paid fifteen
Speaker 1: dollars an hour, you know, like I'm saying, like the
Speaker 1: neoliberal economists are like, never do that again. That's what
Speaker 1: they're basically more. Yeah, exactly, thanks a lot. Now we
Speaker 1: have inflations, Like that's why we have inflations, inflation because
Speaker 1: the corporations decided to raise money and like have record profits.
Speaker 1: Like if fighter's end goal really was to get more
Speaker 1: people vaccinated with their ad not to make more money.
Speaker 1: If their end goal was truly needles in arms, they
Speaker 1: could have taken the entire budget of this commercial and
Speaker 1: the media by divided that by how many people are unvaccinated,
Speaker 1: instead of you're unvaccinated and come in for a vaccine,
Speaker 1: we will give you eighty eight dollars and like, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe something less racist, eighty nine dollars and when you
Speaker 1: you come, you get you get your shot, you get
Speaker 1: your money. Fightser ends up upping the percentage of people
Speaker 1: who are vaccinating this country by a not small amount.
Speaker 1: And and all this ship always pisses like and I'm
Speaker 1: sorry if I'm gonna get on a comedy thing here,
Speaker 1: But giving Dave Chappelle eighty million dollars to do Netflix specials,
Speaker 1: you could give a hundred and sixty comics half a
Speaker 1: million dollars. As a matter of fact, a quarter million
Speaker 1: dollars would be an amazing payment for a comic. So
Speaker 1: you could give three hundred and twenty comics enough money
Speaker 1: to change their life and help them, like focus on something,
Speaker 1: and you get three hundred and twenty comedy specials if
Speaker 1: one percent of them hit, if you know, three point
Speaker 1: two hit, that's more than Dave Chappelle put out and
Speaker 1: maybe you grabble by casting a wider net, you grab
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of fans, and who knows, maybe some
Speaker 1: of those three hundred twenty comics are trans or Asian
Speaker 1: or women or black or something, and we are. And
Speaker 1: that's an insane infusion into the world, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like just giving giving two hundred honestly a
Speaker 1: hundred grand. Now you take it sixty million, eight millions.
Speaker 1: Divided by a hundred grand, you've got like eight thousand
Speaker 1: people get or eight hundred people getting comedy. So don't
Speaker 1: get me started, dude. And and like this TI into
Speaker 1: the pandemic because you know, in like countries like Germany,
Speaker 1: artists were paid freelancers were paid during the pandemic because
Speaker 1: of lost work, you know, so they were compensated for that.
Speaker 1: And then more broadly, I did I wrote about like
Speaker 1: what if we had socialism, what if we had comedy
Speaker 1: under socialism, and how amazing that would be and how
Speaker 1: much people could actually like live by their you know, art,
Speaker 1: and like Germany pays like twenty five dollars per person
Speaker 1: for art and a year. I know it doesn't sound
Speaker 1: like a lot, but I think it but it's but
Speaker 1: it's around there, maybe fifty a person per year the
Speaker 1: United States per person on art, like publicly funded art.
Speaker 1: So it's this or like what no, no, no, what
Speaker 1: we funds and like funds and grants on artwork on
Speaker 1: like non corporate Hollywood nothing, just like our infusion. Basically
Speaker 1: what Republicans have tried to get rid of forever, right,
Speaker 1: which is the National Endowments for the Art is how
Speaker 1: much does the National Endowment for the Arts per person
Speaker 1: give and every single year And it's something it's maybe cents,
Speaker 1: and then I should know this. But then in like
Speaker 1: countries like Germany, it's person and people wonder why, right,
Speaker 1: I even wondered, like why does Munich, Like why why
Speaker 1: do all like the cool artists decided to like go
Speaker 1: live in Munich, German? Or like why do they have
Speaker 1: like this cool scene? And oh, because because it's invested,
Speaker 1: they give a about it. They're like, it's funny because
Speaker 1: in this country we don't give a shoot about artists
Speaker 1: or blue collar people or like insert insert a career
Speaker 1: that you think, like all America really gives you about
Speaker 1: is already rich people like and that's like that's like
Speaker 1: so corny that's such dick riding bullshit. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: do think the people aren't. It's not necessarily like the
Speaker 1: people so much as it's just the system that's been
Speaker 1: ace for so long that is like gotta gotta open big,
Speaker 1: like everybody's gonna go see Avatar like that, you know,
Speaker 1: Like it's just the media is the central nervous system
Speaker 1: of this nation, and it just doesn't anything that isn't
Speaker 1: like anything that would lead somebody to the conclusion that
Speaker 1: we should be investing in artists the way Germany is
Speaker 1: just doesn't take. It just doesn't break into the messaging system,
Speaker 1: and it just for for all intensive purposes doesn't exist
Speaker 1: because it doesn't make anybody richer exactly that is currently rich.
Speaker 1: There's no cultural enrichment like cultural enrichment in this country
Speaker 1: is is conflated with money, which is and it's really
Speaker 1: fucked up because it makes It's sort of the adage
Speaker 1: of like, well, if the Bachelorette weren't popular, than no
Speaker 1: one would like no one. It's popular because people watch it,
Speaker 1: and it's like, I actually fundamentally disagree with that ship.
Speaker 1: I think it's popular because that's it's the slop we're
Speaker 1: being fed. We're being fed. Better slap, we're being fed meals.
Speaker 1: We eat the meals. You know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: and but but it's definitely in this country we have
Speaker 1: like no, no no, no, but but it but it, but
Speaker 1: it made the most money, you had the most eyeballs,
Speaker 1: therefore it is the best. And it's like, no, no no, no,
Speaker 1: let's break. Let's break that. Like Chappelle got eighty million
Speaker 1: dollars or whatever it was just to do anti trans monologueing.
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, well, we need to take a break
Speaker 1: and we'll come back and talk about what we have
Speaker 1: instead of cultural Richmond. Maybe the best example of what
Speaker 1: we're talking about just something that everyone watches because everyone
Speaker 1: watches it, and that's the big game. We'll be right
Speaker 1: back and we're back and yeah, and the context of
Speaker 1: the conversation, we're just having the super ful and in
Speaker 1: the context of like just everything the state of professional
Speaker 1: football where people die get injured, you know, die on
Speaker 1: the field and are brought back to life and then
Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh, we're good because they when he woke up,
Speaker 1: he asked if his team won, and then like the
Speaker 1: other big draw of the Super Bowl is the ads
Speaker 1: it's so humbling, it's so dark. It feels like we're
Speaker 1: cheering for commercials. We're like so excited to be sold stuff.
Speaker 1: It's like it's we're all like a super Bowl is
Speaker 1: just a big clusterfuck tag sail and we're like and
Speaker 1: I have forty people over my house to watch it
Speaker 1: every year. It's like holy ship. It is such a
Speaker 1: dark crystallization and it came from like a good place
Speaker 1: where it's like peak competition. We you know this is
Speaker 1: good for us, and get some steam, blow some steam off.
Speaker 1: We don't have to fight each other in the streets
Speaker 1: because we could say fuck Philly or whatever. But now
Speaker 1: now it's becomes so fucking crazy. People are people are
Speaker 1: like literally only dying. Not to mention like the fucking
Speaker 1: butterfly effect of what happens to players post playing in
Speaker 1: the NFL, But like we are still going ahead with this,
Speaker 1: like uh we we we we take our shoes off
Speaker 1: to get on planes because like, I know, that's someone
Speaker 1: something people say all the time because one time a
Speaker 1: guy like had a shoe bomb on No one time,
Speaker 1: not just one time. People have died played football or paralyzed,
Speaker 1: and we have not changed. We're like we go, all right,
Speaker 1: we asked them if they're can cuss now when we
Speaker 1: make them wait seven days before they sacrifice their body
Speaker 1: for for us again, and any instance like this because
Speaker 1: they activate like the money right wing people who are
Speaker 1: like they're getting football players make a fortune. They can
Speaker 1: fucking deal with whatever. And it's like football players make
Speaker 1: good money, but it pales a good parison to owners,
Speaker 1: people who sell the ads, like the people who build
Speaker 1: the stadiums, the people like all that ship is where
Speaker 1: the old money is. Yes, if a player is making
Speaker 1: ten million, If if a team is willing to make
Speaker 1: pay a player ten million dollars, imagine how much money
Speaker 1: they get from that. Like when you hear the Friends,
Speaker 1: all the Friends cast all got paid a million dollars
Speaker 1: in episode, while I guarantee NBC was making way more
Speaker 1: than six billion dollars in episode. No one will lose money,
Speaker 1: like no executive will choose. You just can't but the
Speaker 1: idea that it's like, if if this quarterback is getting
Speaker 1: paid twenty million dollars, we need to make at least
Speaker 1: twenty one million dollars to say, sold ticket prices go up,
Speaker 1: advertising sales go through the roof everyone's got fucking Gillette
Speaker 1: on their helmet or whatever. You know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like the ship is we bury ourselves, like we put
Speaker 1: ourselves in the hole to begin with. Sorry, this is
Speaker 1: just coming from a guy who's like eleven Super Bowl
Speaker 1: boxes and fingers a cross. Something happens for me and
Speaker 1: I finally afford Cobra Health insurance this year. No, I
Speaker 1: think that's a really good point. I mean, I appreciate
Speaker 1: it just because my analysis of football is effectively that.
Speaker 1: Just like I tried to watch try to watch the
Speaker 1: Niners Eagles game because I'm from the Bay and I
Speaker 1: turned it on for a second and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh wait, I fucking hate football because it's just ads.
Speaker 1: I can't deal with this. I would like to just
Speaker 1: see the plays. I don't want to see the ads.
Speaker 1: And also it's insanely violent. I mean, football is, it's
Speaker 1: not gonna end. It's only gonna get worse and worse
Speaker 1: and worse until you're like, oh, it turns out there
Speaker 1: was like you know, like like some kind of I
Speaker 1: don't know, fucking underground ring of trading cheerleaders or some
Speaker 1: ship like something disgusting to keep going like because you know,
Speaker 1: You've got so much from Detective Carcosa. We went to
Speaker 1: we went to Jerry Jones's ranch and yeah, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: we juice on like baby toes or something like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what what what is it gonna be, but
Speaker 1: it'll keep on going and going and going. Goodell will
Speaker 1: be They're the whole fucking time. He's still gonna be there,
Speaker 1: not not going anywhere. But I do think you could
Speaker 1: to to two suggestions for how to change football. One
Speaker 1: bring back to touch, not bring back start the two
Speaker 1: two touch tag touch. They did that at the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1: Actually they did flag football and the players were like
Speaker 1: that was actually really fun, really and I didn't feel like, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah they did something with two hand touches and like
Speaker 1: yeah that that is absurdly difficult and requires a lot
Speaker 1: of athletic grace to be like get the get the
Speaker 1: flags off people. And then the other is just you know,
Speaker 1: sees the means of production, democratize the entire thing and
Speaker 1: have players have buy in and not yeah they own it,
Speaker 1: they will own the NFL. Yeah, bring up. Fucking players
Speaker 1: should get revenue share and that will motivate them to
Speaker 1: play better than anything else. If play years, get revenue
Speaker 1: share and residents get revenue share of like tickets, or
Speaker 1: it brings money into your city that like the MetLife
Speaker 1: Stadium is sold out or whatever, if it helps at
Speaker 1: all that we the community, Yeah, we don't have it.
Speaker 1: Can't just keep going to guys who don't even live anywhere. Millionaires,
Speaker 1: billionaires who was like, yeah, I sold the naming rights
Speaker 1: to this stadium and now your fandom has to stand
Speaker 1: in a stadium named for fucking health insurance. Thing is
Speaker 1: that those are fun taxpayer funded in a lot of cases,
Speaker 1: like this building projects we pay for and then they
Speaker 1: take that end and charge you to park fucking six
Speaker 1: miles away and watching. The entire system is just meant
Speaker 1: like built to siphon money upwards. I pray that like
Speaker 1: in like fifty years, we're talking about football and cars
Speaker 1: the way we think about smoking and drinking and driving,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I really hope that like
Speaker 1: fifty years from now, people like can you believe we
Speaker 1: were doing that? Like, like how many people weren't paralyzed?
Speaker 1: If you were to take a bet in fifty years?
Speaker 1: What what goes first? Football or cars? Um? It's hard.
Speaker 1: I honestly believe they're like weirdly tied. They're like in
Speaker 1: trance together. They're like that's like heart and lungs of
Speaker 1: the American body. You know, I don't fully know. I
Speaker 1: can't imagine a world. I think football can go first
Speaker 1: because cars are too individualistic and like anything that's like
Speaker 1: can you stop doing this thing? There are a non
Speaker 1: zero number of people who will do it more just
Speaker 1: because they were asked to not do it. Like the
Speaker 1: amount of people I know personally who said I'm not
Speaker 1: taking the vaccine. You know, me trying to tell me
Speaker 1: to do something I ain't gonna do that ship the
Speaker 1: amount of people I I have, like six people I
Speaker 1: can count that didn't get vaccinated because someone said they should.
Speaker 1: That's insane. Like I agree with disagreeing, I agree with disagreeing.
Speaker 1: I agree with disagreeing on fucking someone telling you what
Speaker 1: to do. But I don't think like you should be like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to wear a seatbelt because you want
Speaker 1: me to beach. You know, all the country is about.
Speaker 1: It's about tricking us into having solidarity with one another.
Speaker 1: It's like tricking us into thinking for doing the individualistic thing.
Speaker 1: But actually we're just helping each other right, briefly on
Speaker 1: just a rundown of the there there will be no
Speaker 1: crypto ads. All the crypto companies pulled out, which was
Speaker 1: like that was the big feature of last year's Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: was that, like it was all crypto and people are like,
Speaker 1: this is the new normal, this is get ready for
Speaker 1: the era of crypto, and then everybody got so drastically
Speaker 1: fucked over by that. Again, it was just it was
Speaker 1: what we were talking about, the upward siphoning of people's money,
Speaker 1: but just without any product around it to like disguise
Speaker 1: what was happening. So it's just like, hey, give us
Speaker 1: all your money. Hey, that money's not here anymore. And yeah,
Speaker 1: so that didn't have a long shelf life and those
Speaker 1: are those ads are all gone. You guys remember the
Speaker 1: QR code that was just bouncing around for like three minutes.
Speaker 1: Four million dollars they spent to put that code up.
Speaker 1: There was the Larry David one for which he has
Speaker 1: been sued or is being sued. Matt Damon coming out
Speaker 1: telling us like he got roasted for the like read
Speaker 1: the fucking room. People like like fortune favors the brave,
Speaker 1: and the brave thing to do is give me all
Speaker 1: your money, and there's so much ship at play that
Speaker 1: anchors me in this and so I'm just gonna rattle
Speaker 1: off some of some of the things that driving me crazy. First,
Speaker 1: all we know, we were just talking about how everything
Speaker 1: in America is like how much money you have, obviously,
Speaker 1: and that's because if you don't have money, you're more
Speaker 1: likely to die. Like money, unfortunately, equals staying alive in
Speaker 1: this country. So you're a person with a couple of
Speaker 1: g's and Matt Damon says, hey, give me a couple
Speaker 1: of gas and you should be able to take out
Speaker 1: ten g's in a little while, and someone goes, that's amazing,
Speaker 1: I could stay alive longer if that works. Now Matt
Speaker 1: Damon is taking this ad. He's getting a huge pay day.
Speaker 1: He is a millionaire and he's getting a huge pay
Speaker 1: day because he cannot even fathom being without money no
Speaker 1: less and to him, without money is x amount of
Speaker 1: millions of dollars. So he needs to take that ad
Speaker 1: or else he will have less money and be at
Speaker 1: higher risk of dying. People and then people harness that
Speaker 1: energy in the crypto company, and people at the top
Speaker 1: are making money off of all these people who know
Speaker 1: they need the money to live. These people are going
Speaker 1: to live. They're getting the stem Cell dips and fucking
Speaker 1: Northcau whatever the funk they do, and all that ship
Speaker 1: is at play, and they just know money is the
Speaker 1: only way we can stay alive. This is you know,
Speaker 1: this is just like you know there we really need
Speaker 1: to redo Glen Garry, Glenn Ross. But with Crypto, you know,
Speaker 1: like it's just the old thing because it is, because
Speaker 1: my mind just keeps coming back to, like it's men.
Speaker 1: It's men who are gullible as fun when it comes
Speaker 1: to money and speaking of like lemming mentality, Like the
Speaker 1: only way you can convince a lot of dudes to
Speaker 1: do something everyone else is doing is if you trick them.
Speaker 1: You tell them they're going to get rich by it,
Speaker 1: and trick them by saying, like you're on the inside.
Speaker 1: I know this is a Super Bowl ad that millions
Speaker 1: and millions millions of people are watching right now, But
Speaker 1: only you, sir, ian on the couch, Only you know
Speaker 1: the real truth. You're going to invest right now. And
Speaker 1: it's just like it's like it's like what happens when
Speaker 1: I see Jennifer Aniston on a commercial, Like I'll fucking
Speaker 1: do anything she wants to sell me, Like I will
Speaker 1: buy literally anything you just touched on another layer. Fuck
Speaker 1: Matt Damon and Jennifer Aniston for doing commercials. Commercials used
Speaker 1: to be the place where a broke as actor could
Speaker 1: get their health insurance or they could feed their family
Speaker 1: for a year. Now Jon Hamm's doing H and R
Speaker 1: block commercials. Matt, he's got a fucking Einstein costume on
Speaker 1: trying to sell me Verizon. These guys that those jobs you.
Speaker 1: It used to be corny to sell out, and it
Speaker 1: used to be don't sell out. Do art. You're an artist.
Speaker 1: You're an artist, Cecily strong artist. But but now it's
Speaker 1: no longer about art. We equate qualitative success, like uh,
Speaker 1: financial success with qualitative we ar Banksy is considered a
Speaker 1: great artist because his ship sells for a lot of months.
Speaker 1: Like it's like, that doesn't mean he's good at art,
Speaker 1: like people are like Avatar is a good movie because
Speaker 1: it made a lot of money, and like, no, Avatar
Speaker 1: made a lot of money because it is a good movie,
Speaker 1: like like it's it's not. And so now we there's
Speaker 1: no judgment to someone who's like I'm in an ad,
Speaker 1: like Larry David, the fucking king, fucking I'm not going
Speaker 1: to sell out the King of I'm just myself on
Speaker 1: my show. And then he does that, that's what does
Speaker 1: he need money for? You? Sign felt residuals could build
Speaker 1: a fucking school, a school in every city in America.
Speaker 1: But it's so great, Like we have the last laugh, guys,
Speaker 1: because like last last year, it was like ship this
Speaker 1: is our reality. To Jack's point, like this is just
Speaker 1: gonna be it. And then Sam Bankman Free to loses
Speaker 1: fourteen billion dollars and will oh, he'll be fine. But
Speaker 1: it implicates so many people, including all politicians on all sides,
Speaker 1: and the fact that we were all just sort of
Speaker 1: like walking down this primrose path together and no one
Speaker 1: was like adequately warning us, like there's absolutely no kind
Speaker 1: of again for the gullible dudes out there, there's no
Speaker 1: kinds of protections around something like crypto. And what Bankman
Speaker 1: Freed actually want to do was to make it all
Speaker 1: legit basically be a legitimate bank and then get all
Speaker 1: of the assistance that banks already do. So we want
Speaker 1: to replace banks with these things that are not banks
Speaker 1: because they have a different game but are essentially banks,
Speaker 1: and we want to replace these banks with banks that
Speaker 1: I'm in charge of more money. Oh that's an interesting disruption.
Speaker 1: What a fucking tech disruptor. I want. I want to
Speaker 1: sell you pizza instead of these assholes. Hey, thanks pal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Matt Damon commercial I was just like we might
Speaker 1: have been able to see the everything you guys are
Speaker 1: talking about in this ad. I had forgotten the details.
Speaker 1: But Matt Damon strides through a c G I hall
Speaker 1: of adventurers past one a man who might be Christopher
Speaker 1: Columbus's probably Christopher Columbus, So great, great choice on your hero.
Speaker 1: There to a mountain climber. Three, a right brother for
Speaker 1: a man attempting to kiss a woman at a bar.
Speaker 1: So like, if there's like some Chad ship in there,
Speaker 1: Like you want to be a Chad, don't you? Bro
Speaker 1: Five a group of multi racial gender balance futuristic astronauts.
Speaker 1: So wait, wait that's all except for the last one.
Speaker 1: It's again all foddered for gullible dudes. Yeah, I swear god, Francesca,
Speaker 1: you're saying that made me think, like if they just
Speaker 1: didn't add of like you want to get rich and
Speaker 1: get pussy, give send a thousand dollars here and I
Speaker 1: think I think that company would make fucking ten million
Speaker 1: dollars immediately. And way more honest. You've explorer, You're gonna
Speaker 1: discover a content shut up, just like get rich, get pussy,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's way more honest. Absolutely well,
