00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: You there was an emergency we did need to bring

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: you into explain what is happening with Selena Hailey Justin

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: for all the Lasso heads out there. We'll get to it.

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: Not really, we'll talk about some merch that they dropped,

14
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: but this is a story that we were going to

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: talk about yesterday didn't get to. But um, I have

16
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: been seeing mention of some manner of controversy between Selena

17
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: Gomez Haley and Justin Bieber and then you're saying brands

18
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: are getting involved. What's that brands are getting involved? It

19
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: came through one of my newsletters that I follow Big Spaceship,

20
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: But this tweet is from or the threat is from

21
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: Sophia Rawl's spelled our uhl s at the end of that.

22
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: But she tweeted, since it's Women's History Month, here's every

23
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: brand slash company that it's disgracefully engaged in the recent

24
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: witch hunt of Haley Bieber. I agree. I think it

25
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: is really disgraceful. No matter what side you land on

26
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: this debate, I think it is kind of just really

27
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: gross to think that it's like okay to a pit

28
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: women against each other on the internet and be just

29
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't even have proper words because A I don't

30
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: really enjoy these people, all of them involved. They're all

31
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: rich celebrities, right, So like, how bad can we feel

32
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: for a bunch of rich celebrities? Can you explain what

33
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: the just controversy? Like, jam and I are fully on board,

34
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: and there's so many things going on, we know all

35
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: about it, but you tell us so we make sure

36
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: jam and I the reason we had to bring you in.

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: Jam and I got into such a violent argument about yeah,

38
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: about Selena or be I don't know what justin j Dailey,

39
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: Jayley and Jelena Okay, day just between the three of them. No,

40
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: So this has been a long gooing conversation for years

41
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: and years and years. In the pop culture community of

42
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: Selena Hailey, Justin stands because Selena and Justin dated for

43
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: many years, like seven or eight years, but it was

44
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: on and off. Justin was notoriously not a great partner.

45
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: He I don't want to say abuse her, there's no

46
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: allegations of that, but there was definitely cheating allegations and

47
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: just general you know, not healthy. It was a toxic

48
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: relationship between the two of them, and they famously were

49
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: together like months before Hailey and Justin got together and

50
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: got married. And it was supposed that he spent Valentine's

51
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: Day with Selena the year that he started dating Haley,

52
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: like literally days or weeks later, And I saw that

53
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: like he and Selena went on a famous date where

54
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: he like rented out the Staples Center for their date

55
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: and what to watch, uh, Titanic, I believe, which I think.

56
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: So it seems like a bad venue to watch a

57
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: movie when you got money, honey, you gotta make a statement,

58
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: you gotta not see it in a movie theater. And

59
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: then it's saying that I can rent the Staples Center,

60
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: you know, totally. But ever since Haley and Justin got together.

61
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: There's been from the Selena camp this witch hunt against

62
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: Haley Bieber, being like she's copying Selena. She she is

63
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: such a mean girl, and I'm not going to negate

64
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: any of those things. You know, she is a privileged

65
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: white woman who married a man of her dreams that

66
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: allegedly people were saying potentially her dad maybe arranged that

67
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: a little bit. You know, who's the saying I'm not

68
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: in these rules, But I don't think it's fair the

69
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: hate she's been getting lately on the internet. There's just

70
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: been this split on TikTok where it's like, supposedly Haley

71
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: Bieber sub tweeted in the form of a TikTok a

72
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: trend that was like God's timing is a ladies right

73
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: about Selena? Basically kind of shitn't on her. And then

74
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: Selena famously was like I'm getting off in the internet

75
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: right now, and then everyone was like, oh my god,

76
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: Selena's mental health, like we must eat at Haley Bieber.

77
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: And then it's just been this war between Haley and

78
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: Selena and people doing these supercuts of like taking videos

79
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: in a context being like, oh my god, Justin doesn't

80
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: even like her, like and once again not negating that

81
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: those things are true, because notoriously, Justin seems like a

82
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: bad partner. But I think that brings in the conversation,

83
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: why are we not talking about that? Why are we

84
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: pitting two women against each other? One woman who seems

85
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: very insecure in her marriage and in her relationship and

86
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: in life. She's very young and is being pitted against

87
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: one of the most famous people on the planet. Selena

88
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: has the most Instagram followers in the world, Like she

89
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: has been famous since she was four on Barney. You know,

90
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: it's not easy competition, to say the least, So there's

91
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: just a lot. I think people need to get offline

92
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: and go touch grass. As we were mentioning on tomorrow's episode,

93
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: like it is very much if you feel the need

94
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: to get on the Internet and say something nasty about

95
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: Haley and Selena in this specific context where none of

96
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: us are involved in their relationships, their love lives, what

97
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: goes on behind the scenes, honestly, and if you have

98
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: any opinion on this conversation and you're not interrogating Justin

99
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: Bieber of it all, then your problem. You know, like

100
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: he seems like the common denominator, the overall trend is

101
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: to just shit shit on Haley Beaver. Like even at

102
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: the Vanity Awards, people are taking clips of her being

103
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: at the Vanity Fair after not Vanity Awards. Excuse me,

104
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: the officer Vannyfair after Oscar after part yet um she

105
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: awards Sanity Awards because everyone's looking core Gina. Um No,

106
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: but she's sitting there taking photos and like people are

107
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: going in the photos behind her, and typically you have

108
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,559
Speaker 1: handlers that are like making sure no one's walking behind

109
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: you to take these photos. And people are even taking

110
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: that like clip of her looking upset from someone walking

111
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: in her photos being like yese. Even her team doesn't

112
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: like her, Like everyone fucking hates this bit, like is crazy.

113
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: It's like you're not even there in those circles to

114
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: know what's going on, you know, like get offline. Yeah,

115
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: I don't like any of these people, but like I'm

116
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: not sitting here wanting to hate on either women. It

117
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: is women's historym mouth. This is embarrassing for us. So anyway,

118
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: all that to say, this thread is just brands choosing

119
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: Selena like jumping on the hay train to ship on Haley.

120
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: You got to do a lingo in here. I always

121
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: want to know what their opinion is on the young

122
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: people's relationship. Literally, you got Hulu commenting literally being like

123
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: what language is this and how can we start speaking it? Okay,

124
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: being like I want to speak the language of Team

125
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: Selena for a secret um literally ripping up their ads

126
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: that have victoria or that aspeci victory they have Haley

127
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: Bieber on them. That's crazy. Yeah, you have a face

128
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: tune cutting Haley Bieber out of this famous photo that

129
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: Selena and Haley took not too long ago that we're

130
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: supposed to be kind of squashing the beef between the

131
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: two of them. Yeah, but what is what a Burger

132
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: and sunny d think of all? This is exactly they say.

133
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: We don't know, we know you didn't ask, but we're

134
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: team seleiner. Um, you have BuzzFeed doing a mean girl

135
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: attribution attribution. Wow, I can't speak today all sorry. Um,

136
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: Starbucks and Dutch Bros doing their chip jars is a

137
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: Team Selena versus Team Haley BuzzFeed. I'm gonna allow it

138
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: because they are just like, that's their point is to

139
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: be like snark, like media company and like if the

140
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: if it helps the Starbucks employees get more pips. Sure.

141
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: And also they're not like being mean to one side

142
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: or the other. They're just putting their names on the

143
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: tip jars, whereas yea, they have the tips having a

144
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: brand like a Hamburger company that's probably run by like

145
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: some sixty seven year old white guy be like, we

146
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,599
Speaker 1: know you didn't ask, but we're team Selena is just like, so,

147
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: disn't in the slaughterhouse and yeah, exactly. Literally, it's just

148
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: it's it's just gross. And I just ask everyone. I

149
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: know this was a chaotic explanation. I've been just deep

150
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: in it y'all on TikTok. I just want to out

151
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: to interrogate the internalized misogyny maybe of choosing these two

152
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: to be pitted against each other, because at the end

153
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: of the day, there's a long series of allegations and

154
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: evidence that Justin Bieber is not great. And that's not

155
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: to say that he hasn't suffered from, you know, mental

156
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: health crises and that he hasn't gone through a lot

157
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: as someone who is exploited as a pop star from

158
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: a young age. But is he a good partner to

159
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 1: his wife? I don't think so, based on everything going on.

160
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 1: Was he good partner to Selena Gomez. No, and I

161
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: would never wish on Selena to get back with him,

162
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: and I would never wish on Haley to be having

163
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: a bad partner, like that's not good for anyone, to

164
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: have a partner who's not supportive, who doesn't seem really

165
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: interested in you, doesn't seem like they love you. That sucks.

166
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: So there's my aunt, all right, welcome, Well, thank you.

167
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 1: I do feel like I now know what all of

168
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: this bullshit means, and women and the listeners appreciate it. Yeah.

169
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: I do think just like generally, I do go online

170
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: and just ask the internet for all my relationship advice.

171
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: I think. I think it's good and smart and they

172
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: never failed me. I will say, Barbie's silence is deafening.

173
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: All right. So on the ted Lasso front, Nike just

174
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: released some jerseys of the fake team from ted Lasso,

175
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: complete with sponsorship from the also fictional tech startup Banter,

176
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: and you can buy those for the lolow price of

177
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: one hundred and five dollars. The Lasso heads are out here.

178
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: Apparently there was also a ted Lasso Build a bear

179
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: that cost eighty four dollars. But this is the last season, right,

180
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: So they're trying to get in there, get as much

181
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 1: as you can. I guess, yeah, I mean I liked

182
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: Ted Lasso, but yeah, when you have a Build a

183
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: Bear it looks like Jason Sadekis, it makes it really

184
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 1: hard to not turn against the show. Right, Yeah, I

185
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: mean it's a pretty cute Build a Bear, but I

186
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: mean I do I did buy it, I did order it,

187
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: but yeah, you know, I didn't feel good about it.

188
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: And then, just in keeping with our overall trend that

189
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: we're seeing where brands are the new protagonist, the new

190
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: like if you want to make a movie, you want

191
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: to get a movie greenlit, make a movie in which

192
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: Wendy's is the protagonist and people people will be on board.

193
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: But the other problem I'm seeing with covering this trend

194
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: from my end is the trailers look like good to me,

195
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: Like yeah, the Air Jordan trailer like Air. I mean,

196
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: it looks silly, but it looks also like something that

197
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to have a good time at the movies,

198
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: just turning my brain off and watching. And now there

199
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: is a trailer out for a BlackBerry movie and I

200
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: don't don't know. Yeah, like again, it's it seems like

201
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: a bad symptom for our culture overall, that this is

202
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: what we're making our movies about. But it also as

203
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: somebody who lives inside our culture, I am subject to

204
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: its whims and am into these movies because for the

205
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: same reason that, like I don't know, succession is popular.

206
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: You know, Shakespeare wrote about the royals. That's who runs

207
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: the world now, and so of course we're gonna want

208
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: to watch movies with brand protagonists. But the BlackBerry movie

209
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: looks like it's like a kind of rollicking comedy with

210
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: Jay Barrischell, who I'm a fan of. Lenn Howarton playing

211
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: a evil corporate straight man looks like he shaved his

212
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: head into a male pattern baldness for the role, which

213
00:12:54,920 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: admirable commitment, looks like shit, almost unrecognized. But Jam, what

214
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: are your thoughts? Are you gonna be black bearing it

215
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: up at the movie theaters? I probably will. Yeah. The

216
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: thing I wanted to tell you about this movie is

217
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: it was actually directed by a friend of mine. Oh, Matt, Yeah,

218
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: and he's in it. He's one of the guys. He's

219
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: the guy that's not Jay Barrichell or or Glenn howardton

220
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: wine in the trailer that made me laugh out loud. Yeah,

221
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: he was like pitching it based on Star Wars and

222
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: then was like, wait, have you seen Star Wars? We'll

223
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: look at that. Yeah exactly. So yeah, Matt and I

224
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: went to a film school together and stayed friends. Yeah,

225
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: so I'll definitely be seeing it at a certain point.

226
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: But he you know, I was thinking about it. I

227
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: hadn't watched the trailer until just before the podcast, and

228
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: I was watching it, I was thinking of something Matt

229
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: said a long time ago, which was remember the movie Primer,

230
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: where they it's like the time travel movie, but it's

231
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: a bunch of like you know, there's a lot of

232
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: just guys building things and yeah, yeah, it's like it's

233
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: an indie movie that is made on an indie budget,

234
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: and like you can see that in almost every shot.

235
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it like it's ingenious, like

236
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 1: how they did it. It has since become like a

237
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: thing that is like known mostly for having annoying fans

238
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: who want to explain it right, yeah, exact its Yeah,

239
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: but remember I remember at the time Matt was like, uh,

240
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't a fan of the movie, which was surprising

241
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: because most of the other people our age really liked it,

242
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: and I remember him saying that his problem with it

243
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: was that like whenever you meet like tech guys like that,

244
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: like they're usually funny, like they're joking around, they're being silly,

245
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: they're goofing off as they're like, you know, working on things,

246
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: and that all the people in the movie were just

247
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: deadly serious the whole time. Yeah, Christopher Nolan type shit. Yeah,

248
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: I just forgotten about that until watching this trailer. I

249
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: was like, oh, this is kind of like that. It's

250
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: like one of these sort of serious movies about you know,

251
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: like the social network or something like we're creating this

252
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: tech thing, but then some of them are just silly, right, Yeah,

253
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: So I mean, yeah, I'll go see it. The other

254
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: thing I was going to say is I think it's

255
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: a I'm guessing part of the reason why he wanted

256
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: to make it is because, and I didn't know this

257
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: before this, but the BlackBerry apparently was created in the kitchener, Ontario,

258
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: which is like just a little past Toronto, like not

259
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: too far from here, so so there's like a local connection. Yeah.

260
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, I'm interested. But I'm like, you, like

261
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: I when I hear about these brand movies, my I

262
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: roll my eyes. But then I'm also like, I saw

263
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: that Tetris trailer. I was like, oh, this this is

264
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: what happened with Tetris. I guess I'll watch this. Yeah, absolutely.

265
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: I mean I kind of learned my lesson with the

266
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: Social Network where I was like, uh, this is gonna

267
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: be dog shit, it sucks, and then the Social Network

268
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: was pretty good. Everybody did Everyone thought it was a joke. Yeah,

269
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: it did make Mark Zuckerberg look both way cooler than

270
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: he is in reality and also terrible. Like but anyways,

271
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

272
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: And we're back, and Aaron Rodgers is going to the Jets,

273
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: famously bad franchise. Do you follow American football at all, jam, No,

274
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: not really. I know who Aaron Rodgers is, but yeah, yeah,

275
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: I didn't know he was going to the Jets. Now

276
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: is that official or is that just like a rumor

277
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: he said that he's preparing to play for the Jets

278
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: or something like that. But it does seem like he

279
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: is the level of talented, like famous and also annoying

280
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: to work with that if he wants to do something

281
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: in the franchise that he's with, chooses not to do it,

282
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: then he will make it annoying enough that they'll just

283
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: like go ahead and do it. So I think it

284
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: seems like his current team, the team has been with

285
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: his whole career. The Packers are working on getting him there.

286
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: So we'll say, but for some reason, just like when

287
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: New York has interesting, compelling sports teams, I am more interested.

288
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: Like I was excited that the Knicks were mounting a

289
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: campaign to be a pretty serious team in the East

290
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: in the NBA, and this at least gets me excited

291
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: just because it's one of the big cities and they've

292
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: had a rough run for a while when it comes

293
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: to professional sports. And then just an update on something,

294
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: a story that we talked about a while back that

295
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: is now coming to fruition. So in this Vice article

296
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: says this week in news that is surely a sign

297
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: of a healthy functioning society. An elementary school in Alabama

298
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: has deployed a nation whiteboard mass shooting safe room, meeting room,

299
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: sensory deprivation chamber for overwhelmed students. And this is I

300
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: remember it was in the immediate aftermath of one of

301
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: the many mass shootings and just talking about how terrifying

302
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: it is to send my kids to school, and I

303
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: think a lot of parents for them to send their

304
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: kids to school and just know that that's a possibility.

305
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: And like this came up and I was like, this

306
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: is both like horrifying, Like it's just a horrifying sign

307
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: of like a dystopian, post apocalyptic society, and also like

308
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: I would want that in my kids classroom, assuming it works.

309
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: Because yeah, like just the idea of you know, being

310
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: in the position of those parents who are on the

311
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: outside of the police tape as you're just like waiting

312
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: for the results of a school shooting, you know, like

313
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: and there's nothing thing you can do, like is one

314
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: of the base nightmares that you have as a parent

315
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: in this country. And so um, yeah, both horrifying and

316
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: also like totally see why schools would It's also just

317
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: like the most American thing. Rather than like putting reasonable

318
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: restrictions on gun access, which would cut down on costs,

319
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: you just get rid of any restrictions on gun access,

320
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: but then also sell an additional product that can you know,

321
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: boost the economy. And but of course like that, there

322
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: are questions about like how to schools afford this when

323
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: there's no funding for schools, like Yeah, it's like you

324
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: can't even afford fucking school supplies. You can't afford paper

325
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: and shock. But yes, yeah, we'll put a bat cave

326
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: in your school, right. Yeah, so cool country, but it's

327
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: just so much work compared to you know, yeah, just

328
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: enacting reasonable kind of control laws. It's just regulations. We're

329
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: allergic to them, folks, or we've we've convinced ourselves we're

330
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: allergic to him. Anyways. Uh, some people think Tom Cruise

331
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: get the oscars because of Nicole Kidman, So there's that

332
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: that can't be right. I know it seems like bullshit,

333
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: but I feel like we see them together at events sometimes. No,

334
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: that's what I thought. But according to the Daily Mail,

335
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: jam oh come so exactly. Okay. I assumed it was

336
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: because there was the scientology joke and they were like, okay,

337
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: is he cool with us? And he was like, I

338
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: will not be there. They ran l Ron hubba hubba

339
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: past yes, and he had people they didn't take them

340
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: and he was he was out. Yeah. That was kind

341
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: of surprising that he wasn't there because he yeah, he

342
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: was supposed to be, I think, but I can't imagine

343
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: post and like I remember, like in the Cup, Like

344
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: the run up to it, people being like, and Tom

345
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: Cruise will be there and be like the center of

346
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: attention because he like saved movies this year with Top Gun. Yeah,

347
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: he was going to be like yeah, I heard some

348
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: people saying he was gonna be like the Nicholson of

349
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: the Oscars this year, like they're gonna put him front

350
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: and center kind of. Yeah, he didn't like the l

351
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: Ron hubbabba jokes, tell you that much. But they broke

352
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: up like twenty five years ago. Like yeah, and this

353
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: feels together. Yeah, this feels like a story that was

354
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: put out by Tom Cruise's team to like just you know,

355
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: smoke bomb like a bunch of confusion. He was probably

356
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: just like expunging theatins somewhere right something of or joining

357
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: a motorcycle off of a cliff. Yeah, for some reason,

358
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: that's what that was. The other Actually, so they my guests,

359
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: based on my very limited understanding of how these things work,

360
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: is that his team put this anonym sourced thing out

361
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: there then not anonymously shot it down. It was like,

362
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: actually he's off shooting Mission Impossible eight and there were

363
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: unforeseen scheduling conflicts and so it's just like it creates

364
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: a story that leads us off any semblance of like

365
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: what actually was going on, or they just realized that

366
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: people don't like seeing Tom Cruise. We like seeing Tom

367
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: Cruise movies where he's pretending to be someone doing something dangerous,

368
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: but like actually seeing Tom Cruise as himself out in

369
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: the world, I think it's probably less appealing and has

370
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: the potential to go off the rails. Like even when

371
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: he does things like I remember during the pandemic he

372
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: did that video where he just went to the movies.

373
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: He went to go see Tenant, Yeah, and strapped on

374
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: a Yeah. He's super intense and like even that was

375
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: like thirty seconds long and people were like that was weird,

376
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: Like and all was with him going to a movie. Yeah,

377
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: just does everything to the stream. Yeah, and he would

378
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: look like bane he had this like giant mask on

379
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, that's what That's the kind of

380
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: mask movie stars got. I'm just I have like a

381
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: piece of cotton. Yeah, Yeah, he had he had one

382
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: of the masks that like had the valves on it, Yeah,

383
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: which we I think had already learned at that point

384
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: that that was like good for protecting you, but like

385
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: you were just shedding virus like when you wore it.

386
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: But they were like, yeah, well that doesn't really factor

387
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: into what Tom Cruise wears on his face. Guys, They're like,

388
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: it's Tom Cruise. His people are like, I assume everyone

389
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: wanted to be sprayed by his essence. They sit for

390
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: two and a half hours in a room with him.

391
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: Did see him in person once. He is a glorious

392
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,959
Speaker 1: specimen of humanity. He appears too just like hover off

393
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: the ground like a half inch at all times. It's

394
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: pretty crazy. That was just the lifts, oh right, right, yeah,

395
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: and he's like shoes light up and he rolls around

396
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: on them. Got unfamiliar with those kids shoes, Jam, thanks
