Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, what is something from your search history?
Speaker 2: Search history? You guys.
Speaker 6: I hate to say it, but I'm still looking at
Speaker 6: a small convertibles and I just checked out a BMWZ
Speaker 6: three that's forty two hundred dollars, And then I had
Speaker 6: to look up what a rebuilt title means, and I
Speaker 6: don't think I should buy that car.
Speaker 2: What is a rebuilt title?
Speaker 7: It's worse than salvage.
Speaker 2: Jesus, what's that?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: So yeah, what does that mean exactly?
Speaker 7: I think it just means that the car was entirely destroyed.
Speaker 8: I don't know how they got this thing look, it's
Speaker 8: so amazing, but the car looks goddamn great. But uh yeah,
Speaker 8: you know what they say, if it's too good to
Speaker 8: be true, then it's probably great, right, isn't that?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: I see. It's when a car was previously deemed a
Speaker 2: total loss by an insurance company and then given a
Speaker 2: salvage title, but was later repaired and deemed roadworthy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: hell yeah, road worthy is all I need to hear. Seaworthy,
Speaker 2: road worthy, James worthy.
Speaker 1: They open their sales pitch with have you ever heard
Speaker 1: of the thought experiment? The ship of theseus?
Speaker 2: So this was a total ship?
Speaker 3: Is it even really that same car? Way?
Speaker 7: So it defies philosophy.
Speaker 2: Let me just sit down with you for good forty
Speaker 2: five minutes. Is it the same car? Yeah, it's the
Speaker 2: same fucked up car actually.
Speaker 1: But so you got your eye on a small little convertible.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I want a convertible hot rod coop while I
Speaker 8: live in Los Angeles. I want like a cheap little
Speaker 8: convertible to drive around. It just seems fun to me
Speaker 8: and of the age where I'm like, it's definitely a
Speaker 8: mid life crisis. But again, like, is it a I've
Speaker 8: had a crisis before this isn't a crisis.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like it's a hobby, a hobby, mid life jaunt,
Speaker 1: midlife little adventure.
Speaker 7: Thank you guys for supporting this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, exactly. As someone who just started DJing again,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to shoot on anybody's new midlife Yeah.
Speaker 9: I say.
Speaker 7: The problem is when you work DJing, you know it

Speaker 7: Absolutely, yeah, it's only yeah, it's only fifty surf rock
Speaker 7: for me.
Speaker 2: That's oh yeah.
Speaker 1: What is something that you think is underrated?
Speaker 9: Shauna smacking people in the mouth underrated?
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 9: I think more people need to be popped in their
Speaker 9: mouth for stuff. Yep, I just yeah, people getting a
Speaker 9: little bit too mouthy.
Speaker 2: Who needs an adjustment? Here's that inspired you talk to
Speaker 2: someone who need an adjustment?
Speaker 9: Gesture broadly, governments everywhere, people on the internet. I don't know,
Speaker 9: sometimes my mom whatever.
Speaker 3: That doesn't happen enough.
Speaker 9: You know, people don't need to get bullied physically bullied.
Speaker 9: This online bullying stuff. Sure it makes es up your
Speaker 9: mental but all you gotta do is punch somebody in
Speaker 9: their mouth and you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it is the cuffs. People always say they're like, oh,
Speaker 2: you can tell this person has never been smacked in
Speaker 2: their mind.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You are out of pocket.
Speaker 9: You need to be slapped really hard on camera.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like Stephen Miller has never been popped. No, because he's.
Speaker 1: Just shocking, right, one of the most smackable mouths.
Speaker 2: Yes, you too, Like there's there's grimy kids that go
Speaker 2: to Samo. Also like there you might fuck around and
Speaker 2: find out, but I guess not for Stephen Miller.
Speaker 9: So man, he needs to get somebody with some temp,
Speaker 9: some dusty tims.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, or somebody give him a three hundred milligram
Speaker 2: edible ooh and and be like bye bye.
Speaker 9: Oh what happens? Three hundred sounds like a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, he will turn into a Chevy Chase, or
Speaker 2: he will revert to his final.
Speaker 1: Form, blow some toad venom in his face, you know,
Speaker 1: like one of those just like super intense, like entire
Speaker 1: ego dissolving, you know, like just dose them with ayahuasca.
Speaker 1: Yeah real, yeah, here rose dose and then just follow
Speaker 1: him as he like tries to like find a place
Speaker 1: to be by himself, and like put a therapist in
Speaker 1: there with him. Yeah, yeah, who knows what's going on?
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 9: They're both bad.
Speaker 1: Also, Friendship has a great has a great ayahuasca scene
Speaker 1: that Oh really, I'm excited. I'm excited for you to
Speaker 1: see it. Mouth is that on.
Speaker 2: It? Is not on yet.
Speaker 1: It's probably heading there at some point. But yeah, what's
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 10: You know this, this will be I didn't realize this
Speaker 10: would be relevant because I didn't realize it was pizza
Speaker 10: party day. But I think pizza topics are overrated. I
Speaker 10: think the ideal version of pizza is a cheese pizza,
Speaker 10: and I think you throw some topics on there, especially
Speaker 10: too many toppings. I'll give you, like you want to
Speaker 10: do pepperoni, that's fine, but if you start throwing shit
Speaker 10: on there, it's like do you like pizza?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: What are we are you?
Speaker 10: It feels overcompensating, Like can we just not enjoy the beauty?
Speaker 10: The perfection, in my opinion, that is crust, sauce, and cheese.
Speaker 2: We need to we need to fuck with this. It's perfect,
Speaker 2: and we should.
Speaker 1: Mention that you are Kevin McAllister as an adult. You
Speaker 1: are a grown up Kevin McAllister from homeown. Yes, that's
Speaker 1: a confusing people. People don't realize this. I changed my name.
Speaker 10: But yeah, that was a documentary that this guy, damed
Speaker 10: Christopher Columbus came to UH, came to America and he
Speaker 10: came to my house.
Speaker 2: He told me. Yeah, I told Hi, wouldn't it be
Speaker 2: cool if I was a ghost that haunted this family?
Speaker 1: And it's like, I think this is for really good pizza.
Speaker 1: I agree with this for really good like New York
Speaker 1: City slices. When I'm like trying to I've heard a
Speaker 1: place is really good, the first thing I'm getting is
Speaker 1: for sure Domino's pizza. I want something to distract me
Speaker 1: from the Domino's pizza. Throw throw some toppings on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be super high, and it's gonna also
Speaker 1: need need some topics.
Speaker 10: I feel like my argument then is just don't go
Speaker 10: somewhere else. If you're trying to disguise that you're eating garbage,
Speaker 10: that's a sign.
Speaker 2: I think there's levels to it, right, It's like Taco
Speaker 2: bell is in Mexican food, but it's Taco Bell and
Speaker 2: I with it, and Pizza Hut it's pizza. But I'm
Speaker 2: never gonna be like that's and if you want to slice,
Speaker 2: go to Pizza Hut. So like, you know, you adjust
Speaker 2: based on what's available to you, you know, because I'd
Speaker 2: like to know buy like a New York thing. It
Speaker 2: just takes too it's too much time. They don't have
Speaker 2: coupons and ship like pizza.
Speaker 10: They have an app that tracks if Johnny is putting
Speaker 10: the pizza the exactly.
Speaker 2: And you don't get a free inflatable street basketball during
Speaker 2: March Madness.
Speaker 1: Yeah, where's my Happy Meal toy? Don't Happy Meal Toys.
Speaker 2: Collection of March Madness basketball? They used to give you
Speaker 2: a pizza hut.
Speaker 10: No one is acknowledging that I read a book.
Speaker 2: I get nothing, and that's why I don't with Prime Pizza. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel similarly about like ice cream toppings,
Speaker 1: Like you know, like I'm really great. If you're like,
Speaker 1: this is a great ice cream place, I'll get I'll
Speaker 1: get a basic ass flavor to like just enjoy the
Speaker 1: ice cream. But if you know Ben and Jerry's or
Speaker 1: something like that, like chunk that thing up, distract me.
Speaker 1: You really make my mouth feel like it's on an adventure.
Speaker 4: Are you saying you don't like Ben and Jerry's.
Speaker 2: I like Ben and Jerry's, but it's not like something
Speaker 2: it needs. There's already it's chop full of stuff.
Speaker 1: No, that's what I mean. I mean, like the toppings
Speaker 1: that are mixed, the mixing.
Speaker 2: See, I don't consider that to be a top.
Speaker 10: That's I consider that to be part of the ice cream.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about like sprinkles some more, Yeah.
Speaker 10: Putting sprinkles, put in worms, putting you know, oreo crumbles.
Speaker 10: Like I say, go with the ice cream that you want, like,
Speaker 10: because there's enough options.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 10: It's not like you have to plus up ice cream.
Speaker 10: It's not you have to find a way to make
Speaker 10: the only available flavor tasty. It's like you can. Yeah,
Speaker 10: when you go to the ice cream place, you can
Speaker 10: use all these options then to go like, well, let's
Speaker 10: put some rainbow sprinkles on top of perfect ice cream.
Speaker 2: I mean even when I get frozen yogurt and everyone
Speaker 2: looks at me like I'm a fucking murderer because topics none, none, none,
Speaker 2: I'm just like thank you. Yeah, like the top I'm like, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I don't need them, don't need them.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I have overdone it at frozen yogurt places
Speaker 1: to a level where I'm like, I'm gonna need to
Speaker 1: take out a loan on this.
Speaker 2: This is funny. I am upside out on this.
Speaker 1: Thing, Like how did I spend forty my eyeballs and
Speaker 1: gummy bears? How heavy these fucking you only got a
Speaker 1: little bit of frozen You're like, yeah, dude, and then
Speaker 1: you get a ton of gummy bears and they charge
Speaker 1: you for the topic price.
Speaker 10: It's still a lot, dude, So bad? No, I don't
Speaker 10: know if this is a system that you've cracked. It
Speaker 10: kind of seems like you're crying bears at how much
Speaker 10: is that cup of gummy bears?
Speaker 3: Dude?
Speaker 2: Like eighteen bucks?
Speaker 1: A tiny bull of gummy bears for eighteen bucks?
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 2: right back, and we're back. Let me just question if
Speaker 2: someone offered you a four hundred million dollars jet for Actually,
Speaker 2: let me make this more realistic for something that happened
Speaker 2: to is if someone offered you a free Disney Plus
Speaker 2: subscription for a year, would you think there were strings attacks?
Speaker 3: Do I know this person?
Speaker 9: Am?
Speaker 2: I like?
Speaker 3: Is it like a roommate or a friend or is
Speaker 3: this just somebody off the street.
Speaker 2: No, I mean it's some one you know about and
Speaker 2: they're kind of you, They're they don't have the best
Speaker 2: best reputation out.
Speaker 3: Is this like a foreign government offering this to me?
Speaker 2: Sure, let's go with that. Yeah, let's say Katar is
Speaker 2: offering free membership. Yeah, I would at least ask follow
Speaker 2: up questions, Yeah, what kind of guy is Qatar? Like
Speaker 2: if we know about this guy, like a nice guy
Speaker 2: or he said something like his uncle works at Disney,
Speaker 2: That's why he got all these freetions. So I'm not
Speaker 2: asking any questions anyway. All let's say, so, over the weekend,
Speaker 2: we find out that Trump potentially will be accepting a
Speaker 2: new Boeing jet from the Katari royal family to replace
Speaker 2: Air Force one. It has been described as a quote
Speaker 2: flying palace fit for a like a head of state
Speaker 2: and only costs like four hundred million dollars. It's not bad. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's I don't know. I mean, don't you need to
Speaker 2: spend at least like five hundred million for like one
Speaker 2: of these? Yeah, it's cheap.
Speaker 3: So something that I think is like so funny about
Speaker 3: Trump as a person is that he will accept anything
Speaker 3: if you frame it in a way where it sounds fancy.
Speaker 3: You could give him like an outhouse and say, like,
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's like it's the.
Speaker 2: Rolelex of outhouses. You'd be like, I mean, you.
Speaker 3: Know, so it's like if so being a flying palace
Speaker 3: that feels like that's them framing it as a way
Speaker 3: to get him to say yes to no.
Speaker 2: Like apparently he's like he took a tour all these
Speaker 2: other people, Like this fucking thing is obscene, Like it's
Speaker 2: just kitted out to the fucking maximum. I know he
Speaker 2: would be like, this is an Andy Gump. They say
Speaker 2: the rules voice of shit boxes, and I've got one,
Speaker 2: I've got two. Actually that's what I'm like.
Speaker 4: It has the nicest spyware embedded in it, Yeah, microphones.
Speaker 2: And the thing I'm like, isn't this an ethical creates
Speaker 2: a conflict of interest and or a security risk? Oh
Speaker 2: I wasn't reverencing and or the Disney Plus. That wasn't
Speaker 2: a call back to the Disney Plus thing. Ah. The
Speaker 2: answers are yes, yes and yes.
Speaker 3: Oh no, actually no, don't don't worry, Miles, don't worry.
Speaker 3: I've looked into the It's actually not against the law
Speaker 3: because they're not giving it to him. They're giving it
Speaker 3: to his presidential library, all right, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's giving to his presidential library and he's going to
Speaker 3: use it while he's president, and then afterwards he's also
Speaker 3: going to use it until he dies. And then it's
Speaker 3: gonna live in his presidential library. So completely above board,
Speaker 3: don't wor Yeah, yeah, because he's gonna have a library
Speaker 3: because he can in the library without books in it.
Speaker 2: And they've saved all the library and I mean they've
Speaker 2: saved all relevant documents, which which would even necessitate having
Speaker 2: a presidential library. Yeah, they're getting around this by saying
Speaker 2: it's a gift technically to the Department of Defense, right,
Speaker 2: and it's not for Trump obviously we're helping out there.
Speaker 2: It's that they a lot of you are saying, like
Speaker 2: they were negotiating the Qatar was like, you know what, dude,
Speaker 2: just you guys, just have it, man, fuck it, it's yours,
Speaker 2: zoo keep it, what do nothing nothing. Pam Bondi, who
Speaker 2: is the Attorney General and former registered Katari lobbyist, okay,
Speaker 2: she wrote a memo basically being like, yeah, it's all good.
Speaker 2: It's all good. I don't see anything I think we
Speaker 2: can get. I think we can get. The legally is
Speaker 2: all worked out on. This should be a totally fine.
Speaker 2: Seems like a very transparent deal. I just want to
Speaker 2: fucking just illuminate Pam Bondi's relationship with the government of Qatar.
Speaker 2: She worked as a foreign lobbiest for the nation, earning
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars a month in the role,
Speaker 2: which she held in twenty twenty and into the run
Speaker 2: up of the World Cup in twenty twenty two. In
Speaker 2: this role, she lobbied Congress on behalf of katar interests.
Speaker 2: So pretty I think that's that's seamless, I think. And
Speaker 2: I'm really happy for him that he will get this jet.
Speaker 3: But once again he isn't getting the jet the Department
Speaker 3: of Defense, thank you. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: America is not cocked. America is not cooked yet. Okay,
Speaker 3: DoD is accepting it on his behalf.
Speaker 2: What are you going to say? Now, we're going to
Speaker 2: further besmirch this country's good name.
Speaker 4: Oh, just the Qatar when it was leading up to
Speaker 4: the World Cup, when the migrant workers were dying by
Speaker 4: the hundreds, right in poor working conditions in Qatar, when
Speaker 4: they were stadiums, she said, when she was being paid
Speaker 4: all that money, it's yes, yeah, to drop them up.
Speaker 2: Probably turn a blind eye, yeah, not to mention their
Speaker 2: you know, hostility towards anyone who is not straight. Yeah, yeah, right, yeah,
Speaker 2: that too. There's a lot a lot of stuff, a
Speaker 2: lot of stuff there, a lot of stuff there. But
Speaker 2: so anyway, right now, with the current Air Force ones,
Speaker 2: there's two that are in service, and they've been in
Speaker 2: service since nineteen ninety and they're constantly being rotated out
Speaker 2: for maintenance and apparently they ordered a new one but
Speaker 2: it's being delayed till twenty twenty seven. And you know
Speaker 2: that's when the guitars are like, what's that? Are you got?
Speaker 9: You?
Speaker 2: Guys need a plane to carry the most personal, the power,
Speaker 2: molest powerful person on earth around? Do we got them
Speaker 2: for you? For like free ninety nine? Dude, just take it.
Speaker 2: You're gonna love it.
Speaker 4: I heard this air Force one actually has arch support.
Speaker 2: Stupid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was about to say this air Force one.
Speaker 3: So if air Force one, the current one, has been
Speaker 3: in service since nineteen ninety, what do we think the
Speaker 3: chances of the Cherry Pop and Daddy's being on that
Speaker 3: plane is pretty bit Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they'll be there.
Speaker 3: They'll be there with smash Mouth ever hanging on that jet.
Speaker 2: Maybe. Yeah, yep, Zootsuit Riot. They loved him for that
Speaker 2: song because like we love the we love the actual
Speaker 2: historical event that song. What's that? Don't wikipedia unless unless
Speaker 2: you want to know about brutalizing Mexican Americans.
Speaker 3: Anyway, that's a whole America overrated.
Speaker 2: America overrated. And then we have big, big, fucking wait
Speaker 2: was that big bad voodoo daddy who did zootsuit right?
Speaker 2: Or cherry everyone was a fucking daddy.
Speaker 3: Poppet and there was a squirrel something like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I was just thinking, like, if a foreign
Speaker 2: government is giving you a vehicle to carry the head
Speaker 2: of state who clearly has shady dealings, like as it's
Speaker 2: tied to, you know, other terrorist organizations in the region,
Speaker 2: I'm like, at a minimum, like even with my first
Speaker 2: grade narrative brain on them, like, aren't they like worried
Speaker 2: like that that whole plane is that sh it's going
Speaker 2: to be like miked up like more than like an
Speaker 2: NBA Finals game, And like what how are I mean?
Speaker 2: I get that then the US will do what they
Speaker 2: need to do to put in all this like security
Speaker 2: shit in there. But I'm like, is isn't that a
Speaker 2: is that not a concern? Or They're like we'll find
Speaker 2: it if there's anything, and even if we find something,
Speaker 2: will act like this was all good and.
Speaker 4: Well, they have of things where it goes bpppppppppp. You know, yeah,
Speaker 4: there's people, there's a microphone in it, so it's just
Speaker 4: an extra work. But yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: It turns out not everyone is pleased with this revelation
Speaker 2: on the right, specifically Laura Lumer, the fucking weird Trump
Speaker 2: whisperer who's emerged over the last year, who's just a
Speaker 2: violent islamophobe. She tweeted, quote, I love President Trump. I
Speaker 2: would take a bullet for him, but I have to
Speaker 2: call a spade a spade. We cannot accept a four
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars gift from gee hottists in suits. Then
Speaker 2: goes on to do a bunch of like gee hottest
Speaker 2: stuff talking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess, like, which of that sentence, which of
Speaker 3: those things do you think she's most offended by.
Speaker 2: That's the thing, right, the money thing or the people
Speaker 2: of color full thing is that she hates Muslim people.
Speaker 2: So it's not a total shock that she's more upset
Speaker 2: at him transacting with the Qataris than the naked corruption
Speaker 2: of it all. But even other people are like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, like she's right for the wrong reasons. But
Speaker 2: either way, it's it's all wrong. You don't this is this,
Speaker 2: This reeks of a bribe with wings on it. But again,
Speaker 2: the deal is still being considered, so right now, I
Speaker 2: think the White House is still figuring out how to
Speaker 2: message this bribe once it becomes official. Trump tried to
Speaker 2: explain like why he got it, like some angry dad
Speaker 2: talking about like how it was like a couple of
Speaker 2: big screen TVs that fell off the truck or something.
Speaker 2: This is him explaining, Yeah, it's it's fucking fine, it's fine.
Speaker 2: Here he is talking getting mad at ABC fake news
Speaker 2: for even asking you this was there was any fake Yeah,
Speaker 2: if there's any dimension of improm the rudest news that's
Speaker 2: ever news exactly. People who knew that luxury jet as
Speaker 2: a personal get to you, why not leave it by
Speaker 2: her vision news?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Why not?
Speaker 4: Well a few of you would, let me tell you, you.
Speaker 3: Should be embarrassed asking that question. They're giving us a
Speaker 3: free jet. I could say, no, no, no, don't give us.
Speaker 2: I want to pay you a billion or four hundred
Speaker 2: million or whatever it is.
Speaker 3: Or I could say thank you very much. You know,
Speaker 3: there's an old golfer named Sam Snee.
Speaker 2: Did you okay?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 4: So that went on for fifty more minutes.
Speaker 2: The references, he goes out, He's like, they used to
Speaker 2: this old golfer. He said, you know he won many,
Speaker 2: many and many tournaments. And they say, when they give
Speaker 2: you a putt, you say, thank you very much. You
Speaker 2: take the putt. Okay, a lot of stupid people they
Speaker 2: want to pay for it. You don't do that. Like
Speaker 2: his whole thing is like, if they want to give
Speaker 2: you a free jet, you take the jet. What do
Speaker 2: you mean, there's nothing, no, no further questions, my honor.
Speaker 2: It's a free jet. Let's go, kids, So I hop
Speaker 2: on your feet. I found I just found this out
Speaker 2: like a couple months ago. Apparently in the early two thousands,
Speaker 2: Trump tried to start a casino with my tribe. Like
Speaker 2: he literally met with my tribe in southern Washington state
Speaker 2: to start like a Trump Cowletz casino. And there's like
Speaker 2: there's like an article in this newspaper couple Clumbian about it.
Speaker 2: You can pull it up, but there's literally a picture
Speaker 2: of what the Trump Cowletz casino would have looked like.
Speaker 2: And apparently he like showed up and actually like physically
Speaker 2: like went to southern Washington, met with my tribe, and
Speaker 2: we're a small tribe.
Speaker 3: There's are like five thousand people. And he made all
Speaker 3: the elders of my tribe drink out of Trump branded
Speaker 3: water bottles and then wanted a lot of money to
Speaker 3: essentially just give us his name for the casino.
Speaker 2: And he wanted to.
Speaker 3: Do no other work other than that. But it's like,
Speaker 3: if you pull up the picture of the Trump Calets casino,
Speaker 3: what it would have looked like. Just search like Trump
Speaker 3: cawts it like it looks it looks like back to
Speaker 3: the Future. To Biff, like casino, it looks like Rainbow Road. Yes,
Speaker 3: fucked up capitalist acid trip.
Speaker 4: These colors don't exist, by the way, these colors truly.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Blake. These colors don't run.
Speaker 4: No, they don't do not. Here's here's a goofy question. Maybe,
Speaker 4: but what does And this might be a dumb question,
Speaker 4: but Trump doesn't he fly on his Trump plane? Like
Speaker 4: does he fly is that Air Force one?
Speaker 1: One?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: No, no, Yeah, he flies on a Yeah, trumps the
Speaker 2: color scheme in Air Force one right his last time
Speaker 2: in office, because he was like it's not gudy enough,
Speaker 2: but crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that he flies that he flies on
Speaker 3: that like Trump jet. I think when he was like
Speaker 3: in the camp from twenty twenty to twenty twenty four,
Speaker 3: he flew on that. But now presumably since like he's
Speaker 3: being gifted this jet after he leaves off Department of Defense.
Speaker 3: Ye gifted, thank you, thank He's going to borrow it,
Speaker 3: he'll jet yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: But then it's like he's like he was said another thing.
Speaker 2: He's like, why would people be mad? This is a
Speaker 2: gift to the American people, And it's like, what does
Speaker 2: that mean? We get that?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh good?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Could he sign up? Is there a sign up?
Speaker 4: Gaps? The waitless? It's long as shit, but we will
Speaker 4: get on it. I'm flying and add a new work
Speaker 4: on it.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, Yeah, you're like good luck, bro. Yeah, if
Speaker 2: you really want to go check it out. You're flying
Speaker 2: out of New York Liberty. Yeah, so we will see.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is ongoing, but it's everything. Like even
Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt, like when even asked on Fox or like
Speaker 2: if there's any worry that like they're gonna want something
Speaker 2: in return, She's like, uh no, everyone knows Trump does
Speaker 2: everything for the American people and not for himself. You're
Speaker 2: like his sons are there getting so much money from
Speaker 2: all these golf states. Right now, Trump's about to go
Speaker 2: to the Gulf States and basically do money begging to
Speaker 2: all of these people in a second. So sure we'll
Speaker 2: see it's all for the American people. Very quickly, though,
Speaker 2: I just want to touch on uh, doctor Brainworm's actually
Speaker 2: not a doctor. We'll just call him RFK Junior. The
Speaker 2: measles outbreak in this country has hit another grim milestone,
Speaker 2: over one thousand cases now, mostly in Texas. This hasn't
Speaker 2: happened in thirty years since we've had anything like this,
Speaker 2: because presumably we were all most of us are on
Speaker 2: the same page that scientists and doctors know what they're
Speaker 2: talking about as it relates to, you know, preventing illnesses anyway. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: RFK Junior continues to obviously just push like fake cures
Speaker 2: and only pretend that vaccines are the actual best way
Speaker 2: to prevent your child from getting measles again, only pretending
Speaker 2: he'll say it and then immediately turn around and tell
Speaker 2: you to take like so many vitamins. That's how, that's
Speaker 2: how you'll prevent everything. So over the weekend, all we
Speaker 2: got from the death is our was a quote where
Speaker 2: he like, while all this is happening, you're like, maybe
Speaker 2: he'll say something. He was on like a panel on
Speaker 2: Fox News, and he basically was like, anti vaxxers are
Speaker 2: treated like fucking lepers, and it's really unfair, And he
Speaker 2: bemoaned the lack of compassion from health professionals for people
Speaker 2: who are anti vacs to be like, why are us,
Speaker 2: the people who are not protecting ourselves from preventable illness,
Speaker 2: being treated like people who may be carrying a preventable illness.
Speaker 2: I don't understand. It's not fair. We're just merely asking
Speaker 2: questions that I am people.
Speaker 4: Sick, blackout, drunk, went on a plane and was vomiting everywhere,
Speaker 4: and people were frowning at me. They were like they
Speaker 4: were saying, like, you know, it was I was treated
Speaker 4: like shit, it was crazy. No one would sit next
Speaker 4: to me. I don't like, get say what it is.
Speaker 2: Twenty first century leper. That's exactly what I am. That's
Speaker 2: exactly way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've never heard of a bigger story of oppression. Blake,
Speaker 3: I am so sorry.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry I had to bring it up. Can we
Speaker 4: edit it out because I feel okay, I'm.
Speaker 2: So sorry that you guys are allowed to continue to
Speaker 2: spread preventable illnesses.
Speaker 3: My god, my god, I really hate that we live
Speaker 3: in a time right now where I have to be
Speaker 3: hyper aware of what I've been vaccinated against. Yeah, we're
Speaker 3: just sort of like like I was, I was in
Speaker 3: New Zealand recently, and I was like, and when you
Speaker 3: travel you have to like figure out your vaccine record.
Speaker 3: I'm just like, oh, do I have to get like
Speaker 3: vaccinated again for measles? Like I don't know polio A
Speaker 3: vaccines for that we're doing. Yeah, it's like what is
Speaker 3: what's coming back? What's coming back that I have to
Speaker 3: like make sure I'm covered. You got to re up?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, what do I have to up for?
Speaker 2: That's like, yeah, the next doctor's visit. I'm like, hey, man,
Speaker 2: you need to re up while you're here. Yeah, I guess. So, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're gonna give you Unfortunately we thought you we only
Speaker 2: had to give you these shots when you're a child,
Speaker 2: but yeah, you will need to be coming in every
Speaker 2: six years now for these And then so he also
Speaker 2: celebrated I'm assuming he celebrated this measles milestone by going
Speaker 2: for a swim in DC's Rock Creek, which if you
Speaker 2: have ever been to you know that is not a
Speaker 2: place to swim. It's actually technically illegal to swim in
Speaker 2: it because it is so chalk full of bacteria. According
Speaker 2: to the National Park Service, swimming and waiting are not
Speaker 2: allowed due to high bacteria levels. Swimming has been illegal
Speaker 2: in most of DC's water rays since the nineteen seventies,
Speaker 2: largely because of contamination from the aging sewer system, though
Speaker 2: there have been recent efforts to roll back the five
Speaker 2: decade prohibition, and it's rarely reinforced. It's rarely enforced, so
Speaker 2: people like brain worms can go take a dip with
Speaker 2: their grandkids. But yeah, they're just saying, like even they're like,
Speaker 2: don't even let your pets in the water.
Speaker 3: Hey, just just correcting you. It's not illegal because he
Speaker 3: didn't swim in the water. The Department of Defense swam
Speaker 3: in the water.
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, exactly, healthy Human Services.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not a guy, I'm a department, Yes, idiot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm it's just wild. I'm like, he must miss
Speaker 2: that brain worm so damn bad that he will do
Speaker 2: anything to be reunited, including forcing his grandchildren to swim
Speaker 2: in a body of water. Fucking known for having way
Speaker 2: too much poop and e colie in it. That's the way.
Speaker 2: That's a love language, I guess. But I also feel
Speaker 2: like it's probably like another like a statement obviously, because
Speaker 2: that's what all these people do, and they're like, oh,
Speaker 2: guess what all the things they said were unsafe? Those
Speaker 2: were lies? What else were lies? Then I'm swimming in
Speaker 2: poop creek? I mean, like, I think he's doing the
Speaker 2: things like look at what all the mean scientists say
Speaker 2: that being in water contaminated with sewage is bad, but
Speaker 2: look at me? But yeah, I don't know if that's
Speaker 2: a thing. Every day people are like dialed into just
Speaker 2: like yearning, like being like, yeah, thanks RFK, When can
Speaker 2: I go swim in that local body of water that
Speaker 2: for generations everyone in town knows is disgusting because it's
Speaker 2: a shit cocktail? Yes? When? When? So?
Speaker 3: Something that Trump is doing a lot right now is
Speaker 3: he's renaming a lot of things, like you know, the
Speaker 3: Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. He's renaming
Speaker 3: Mount Denali and Alaska back to mountmckimley. Yeah, and I
Speaker 3: really it's very annoying, But I really wish that he
Speaker 3: would rename things in fun ways, like renaming that poop Creek.
Speaker 3: That'd be very fun.
Speaker 2: Poop Creek's great, Poop Creek's great. I think it would bring.
Speaker 2: It has to either be like total revision of history
Speaker 2: kind of shit like for him, or so America centric,
Speaker 2: like idiocracy America centric, like it'll be like oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that thing where we'll acknowledge what the thing is actually called,
Speaker 2: dude to like the indigenous people that live there. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: the the one of the worst presidents ever that fucked
Speaker 2: the economy up with tariffs, William McKinley.
Speaker 4: My fuck right, Yeah, that's Burger Mountain actually, you know
Speaker 4: exactly Hamburger Creek.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I guess that. I want stupider names.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. He's like Milwaukee, what about milk Shakey like that.
Speaker 2: That's that's all good. We're taking back every name. It's
Speaker 2: it was named after a Confederate Double down on it,
Speaker 2: double down on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: He just renames Oregon to like the quarter pounder state
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like Oregon. He's like, look, who was down
Speaker 2: with slavery back in the day.
Speaker 3: Maybe I feel like you can say that about the
Speaker 3: names of most states.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. That's true. Oh, man, isn't it? Great
Speaker 2: boy named Sioux City, Iowa.
Speaker 3: City once again America, a little over rated.
Speaker 2: A little bit, a little bit. Little Caesar's perfectly rangel,
Speaker 2: little Caesar. And that means we're gonna take a quick break.
Speaker 2: It will be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 1: We're back, and so up first we got this as
Speaker 1: as we mentioned, Warner Brothers Discovery just announced that the
Speaker 1: streaming service Max will now be known as HBO Max
Speaker 1: aka the thing it was already fucking called before they
Speaker 1: changed the name to Max.
Speaker 2: What the fuck is the this Hollywood reporter, The Hollywood
Speaker 2: reporter kind of ate on this sentience and they're right
Speaker 2: up of the thing.
Speaker 1: Originally, the service launches HBO Max in twenty twenty and
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, the company controversially changed the streaming service
Speaker 1: to simply Max, ditching the most venerated network brand name
Speaker 1: in television in television in favor of the most popular
Speaker 1: name for male dogs.
Speaker 9: Max.
Speaker 2: Come here, Max. Oh, that's the name of Maxew McConaughey's
Speaker 2: dog in a Time to Kill Oh, when they burned
Speaker 2: his house down and he's like back And then Oliver
Speaker 2: Platt is like Max is dead. Oh shoot, I imagine
Speaker 2: he's white. Yeah, what the dog? You just keep saying that, man.
Speaker 7: Every dog is white.
Speaker 2: But to be honest, also like that name too, I remember,
Speaker 2: I guess it's like a millennial. I also associate Max
Speaker 2: with like Cinemax, and I was like, that's what I
Speaker 2: thought it was.
Speaker 1: I thought it was like HBO and Cinemax together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now you know you're in trouble, HBO Max. And they
Speaker 1: were like, let's change it to just Max because they
Speaker 1: probably like focus grouped it, like had some misguided focus
Speaker 1: group testing. Like I love the story of a New
Speaker 1: Coke because it's just like such a great illustration of
Speaker 1: like how dumb these people are who like run these
Speaker 1: massive corporations and like you know, give themselves credit. They'll
Speaker 1: like rewrite their own story about like well, like I
Speaker 1: invented all this like back in you know, back in
Speaker 1: a garage somewhere. It's like all completely made up bullshit.
Speaker 1: Oh like one of twenty people, they ended up winning
Speaker 1: the corporate power struggle to be the CEO and then
Speaker 1: like wrote everybody else out of the picture, Like that's
Speaker 1: how it always works. But they tell the story like
Speaker 1: their fucking you know, Horatio Alger pulling themselves up by
Speaker 1: the bootstraps, and the reality is like that it's just
Speaker 1: people in a boardroom like trying to stay awake. They're
Speaker 1: so bored and coming up with like the dumbest fucking decisions.
Speaker 1: Like the new Coke thing was based on they kept
Speaker 1: like Pepsi put out this ad where they were like
Speaker 1: three out of four people like Pepsi better and taste tests,
Speaker 1: and the way they did the taste test was they
Speaker 1: did little shot class you know, Dixie cups of the
Speaker 1: flavors and like that's so Pepsi just like made that up,
Speaker 1: and you know it was probably true, and so Coke
Speaker 1: was like, we gotta, we gotta get ahead of this
Speaker 1: taste test thing and made new Coke, which beat Pepsi
Speaker 1: in the little taste tests, but nobody would drink it
Speaker 1: because it was only good if you took a single
Speaker 1: sip of it. If you took multiple SIPs of it,
Speaker 1: you would be like, my teeth feel like they're fucking.
Speaker 2: Vibrating because they put so much sugar.
Speaker 1: And it was yeah, yeah, this was a thing, but
Speaker 1: yeah that that would actually be smart if they were
Speaker 1: like what if we just like got back to our
Speaker 1: roots and use some of that lobbying money that we
Speaker 1: that we used to make America ignore the obesity epidemic.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so they just like didn't. They had to,
Speaker 1: They had to go back on it because it like
Speaker 1: wasn't a thing that people liked drinking anywhere except in
Speaker 1: focus group tests. It's just like, I'm sure there's something
Speaker 1: similar here where Like they got people who are like,
Speaker 1: do you like the word Max or HBO Max? And
Speaker 1: the people were like, I don't know, like Max, I
Speaker 1: guess I don't like like just probably a misguided like
Speaker 1: some misguided.
Speaker 2: Like I think research. It feels like abby idea that
Speaker 2: the guy would be like, yeah, dude, Like again, just
Speaker 2: like how the Hollywood reporter is talking about like one
Speaker 2: of the most like you know, recognizable names in television
Speaker 2: entertainment and you go, don't need to lead with that,
Speaker 2: lead with a nebulous word like.
Speaker 1: Max, we're bigger than HBO.
Speaker 2: We're bigger, right, well, I think because that was the thing, right,
Speaker 2: they're mashing up Discovery Channel with all that. Now you
Speaker 2: can get ninety day fiance on Max, right, you know,
Speaker 2: And like they're like, so we don't want to confuse people,
Speaker 2: but I think people were more confused when the HBO
Speaker 2: name dropped out and they're like, well, where do I
Speaker 2: get HBO? Then? Right?
Speaker 9: I think the worst part too, was like we were
Speaker 9: hoping you guys would like fix the app or when
Speaker 9: you like hit the rewind, but you didn't shut down
Speaker 9: the entire app. Sorry, no, Like why didn't you focus
Speaker 9: on making sure it functioned appropriately?
Speaker 2: Like change?
Speaker 9: You hit rewind like ten seconds and the whole thing
Speaker 9: would just shut down. You're like, great, I guess I
Speaker 9: can't watch Natalie Grace.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Have you seen the dramatized version of that.
Speaker 9: I started watching at the end of the day. I couldn't.
Speaker 2: I can't bring myself to watch it because the real
Speaker 2: thing is so fucking wild. I'm like, I do not
Speaker 2: need a dramatization when there's a full blown documentary when
Speaker 2: you can look these people in their faces.
Speaker 9: Twelve episodes. Yeah, it's no, I couldn't watch it. But
Speaker 9: if on Max you wanted to go back and catch
Speaker 9: something she said, it would just shut down the whole thing.
Speaker 9: And they're like, let's just change the name and the color.
Speaker 2: I like the purple. Yeah, you know, it's funny. I'm
Speaker 2: pretty sure I still have that like dead app on
Speaker 2: my phone.
Speaker 9: Yep, I do, yay, keep it.
Speaker 2: I'm still with you, I am. It's weird. I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm like, I got so many dead ass for I
Speaker 2: got Flappy Bird on this motherfucker? What's that? That was
Speaker 2: that game that got taken off the app story years
Speaker 2: ago and people were like selling phones with it on
Speaker 2: it to be like I need flatby Bird?
Speaker 9: What do you do on there?
Speaker 2: It was just like you tap the thing and the
Speaker 2: bird flaps and goes high or lower and there's like
Speaker 2: obstacles like a side scroller game. It's it's really nothing.
Speaker 2: This was like very twenty fourteen kind of shit.
Speaker 1: They had to outlaw it. It was like so it
Speaker 1: was so good that people were just like dying of
Speaker 1: exposure while playing it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it got block I forget why it got blocked,
Speaker 2: but anyway, it's what it is. Wow, producer said, didn't
Speaker 2: some guy get killed over it? Shit? Maybe I just
Speaker 2: remember is this shit was so wild? I was like,
Speaker 2: why are people losing it over Flappy Bird?
Speaker 9: I don't. I think I missed that whole area era.
Speaker 1: Yeah, phones, Yeah, apologies to whoever got killed because that's
Speaker 1: the dumbest sounding shit to get killed over possible flah
Speaker 1: that he.
Speaker 9: Had the highest score, or does somebody want to take
Speaker 9: his phone that had the game on it and that
Speaker 9: now I want to know details?
Speaker 2: Yeah, did this person die? Victor? Now research goal tell.
Speaker 1: Tell us, tell us, tell us now Victor and now
Speaker 1: research go.
Speaker 2: Oh good researching, Thank you, Victor.
Speaker 3: That's the processing I wish.
Speaker 2: Like when they like, to your point, Jack, like I
Speaker 2: wish they could just write these story or used to
Speaker 2: be like, oh, that's an L for David Zaslov going
Speaker 2: back on this, you know what I mean. It's not like, oh,
Speaker 2: he's they're rebranding it. No, they made a stupid fucking
Speaker 2: disc and they made a stupid decision and now they're like, yikes,
Speaker 2: all right, that's an L. You know, you know it's good.
Speaker 1: You know it's bad when like actual mainstream media like
Speaker 1: accounts of the story just keep like are actually like
Speaker 1: making me laugh like this it's a good move, a
Speaker 1: user wrote of the shift. The HBO brand is associated
Speaker 1: with some of the worst content ever Sopranos, The Wire
Speaker 1: Band of Brothers, Game of Thrones, kurb He has a
Speaker 1: deep deadwood in Silicon Valley. Good rap, that wasn't the wrap,
Speaker 1: just like being like, yeah, man, good call dipshit, that's
Speaker 1: fucking brilliant. Yeah, but again quick reminders as a love
Speaker 1: of salary is a mere one million dollars a week
Speaker 1: softy million a year. And HBO Max lost when when
Speaker 1: he like kind of did this, you know it was
Speaker 1: his like big swing in case you're like, but I
Speaker 1: mean maybe he like did the research and it actually
Speaker 1: made sense and it worked. HBO Max lost almost two
Speaker 1: million subscribers whenever ran due to confusion over the makeover.
Speaker 7: Oh no, wow, just let a.
Speaker 1: Straight up coke level fuck up.
Speaker 9: I mean, are just gonna charge us more for like
Speaker 9: accounts now, They're probably going to raise the price when
Speaker 9: they change it back to HBO Max, Like oh see,
Speaker 9: they always.
Speaker 1: Want to do that shit. And now we're bundling HBO
Speaker 1: into backs. What yeah, do you want to upgrade? What
Speaker 1: do you mean isn't it the same thing?
Speaker 2: No, this is HBO Max now, And I'm sorry, I
Speaker 2: don't know if you heard. Our ceo makes a meager
Speaker 2: one hundred forty and sixty five dollars and seventy five
Speaker 2: cents per day.
Speaker 1: Woh wow, sucks for him. Actually, when you put it
Speaker 1: like that, that kind of that's crazy that he's able
Speaker 1: to get by on that.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't think I was going to yacht viewing parties
Speaker 1: to schedule.
Speaker 2: I mean, it took a lot for me to not
Speaker 2: cry doing that story about the Afrikaaners. But now I'm
Speaker 2: just I'm sorry. I'm just thinking of him. He's only
Speaker 2: making so big. I just want to I'm just I
Speaker 2: just I'm I want better for him because one day
Speaker 2: I know I will be there. I will be there.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the low price of one Starbucks franchise
Speaker 1: a week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't know, Bonaire.
Speaker 1: I mean so yeah, like you said as they scrapped
Speaker 1: the HBO branding in the first part to advertise that
Speaker 1: they were also bundling Discovery content too, which was the
Speaker 1: company that Zaslov came from. And so it's just like
Speaker 1: him being like, well, people are gonna want to like
Speaker 1: really Discoveries the star of the show. But I guess
Speaker 1: you just like put it all under Max, Max the everything.
Speaker 1: I think the ad campaign at the time was like
Speaker 1: Max the only one you need or something like that.
Speaker 9: It was just like Brady bunch of my streamer services.
Speaker 1: It's like Max and X lived together in my mind
Speaker 1: as like the dumbest fucking rebrands that nobody thought were
Speaker 1: a good idea, right exactly.
Speaker 9: So wait, is Cinemax still a thing?
Speaker 1: I mean they never really had original content beyond like
Speaker 1: a couple shows. They had that show Banshee that's supposedly
Speaker 1: really fun. Uh huh. And they had softcore diary like that.
Speaker 1: Ship must have fallen off a cliff when internet porn
Speaker 1: became a thing.
Speaker 9: Ah, I want to know what Emanuel's doing now.
Speaker 2: She was so horny, I know, and she was eating
Speaker 2: horny in space. Yeah you know, I thought I thought
Speaker 2: Space would bring your libido down, but not Emmanuel Nope, Manuel, no, no, man,
Speaker 2: you o the s of the world. Oh wait no,
Speaker 2: this is Jesus damn. Sorry. They got to figure out
Speaker 2: the branding on that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I thought Cinemax was still around doing something or maybe
Speaker 9: you got roped into or did it.
Speaker 1: No, it is, it's all part of It's all on
Speaker 1: the streams, same streaming service. I just like, don't effectively
Speaker 1: like what they're doing. This is what cinemax dot com
Speaker 1: looks like. It looks dire Cinemax dot com looks pretty scheduled, not.
Speaker 7: Legal White.
Speaker 2: This channel is called motherfucking Max.
Speaker 9: Yeah, right, movie Max, I thought, And then they combined
Speaker 9: HBO and Max. But what's what is lethal White? What's
Speaker 9: that show about? Oh?
Speaker 2: But then it is so it is also HBO. This
Speaker 2: shit is so confused, man, stop it, stop it. I
Speaker 2: feel like Michael Jordan and that USA. Stop it, stop it.
Speaker 2: David Zaslov, please no, but he does feel like a
Speaker 2: Zaslov thing because his whole thing everyone's like, dude, this
Speaker 2: guy's gonna fucking come through and ruin everything. And all
Speaker 2: of his moves were like Daddy's.
Speaker 3: Home, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: And now it's like, oh that thing no it's called Max. Now,
Speaker 2: all the slate of original programming that you had brought
Speaker 2: up that was coming from like diverse creators fucking gone
Speaker 2: Daddy's Home, Like that's just every his hands just fucked
Speaker 2: everything up on that thing.
Speaker 1: So well, it is like the propaganda of American capitalism
Speaker 1: is like these people know what they're doing, like that
Speaker 1: the whole thing is propped up on the idea like
Speaker 1: these are the smartest, most capable people. They know what
Speaker 1: they're doing they'll never, like you said, like they'll talk
Speaker 1: so much shit about the decision in the Hollywood Reporter,
Speaker 1: but they're never gonna be like David Zaslov is a
Speaker 1: fucking clown. What about like they would about nath for
Speaker 1: like fucking missing a free throw or something. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean, right, But the mainstream media will never
Speaker 1: do that because it's so propped up.
Speaker 2: And so I do think.
Speaker 1: It's partially responsible for like how we got to a
Speaker 1: place where people were like and we just need a
Speaker 1: business man to lead the country, because they're the ones
Speaker 1: who like make the right decision that make line go up,
Speaker 1: and like nobody tells the truth about them. That's the amazon.
Speaker 1: They're just fucking.
Speaker 2: Because they're rich.
Speaker 9: They're like this guy made money, so he apparently he
Speaker 9: knows how to do it because he has buddies like, well,
Speaker 9: well he has apartheid diamonds in his pocket.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I meant what I mean. His great grandfather
Speaker 2: profited from slavery direct but okay, he made all that money. Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure.
Speaker 2: The Hollywood Reporter needs like a Stephen A Smith exactly, Like.
Speaker 1: All these fucking CEOs need a Stephen A Smith, Like
Speaker 1: Jim Kramer needs to be a person who's out there
Speaker 1: being like.
Speaker 2: This guy's a fucking idiot chef at the damn it's
Speaker 2: smoking crack, right, that you could do that name change,
Speaker 2: Like yeah, that's nobody.
Speaker 1: It's interesting that you're able to talk that way about
Speaker 1: mostly black athletes in this country, but not a white executive,
Speaker 1: the white executives who own the station you're talking shit on.
Speaker 1: I guess all right. Just another in line with that.
Speaker 1: Another example of this is just the the whole VR
Speaker 1: revolution that was supposed supposed to happen. There's a clip
Speaker 1: from Prices Right that was going around on social media
Speaker 1: this week where one of the items was the Apple
Speaker 1: Vision pro and literally nobody had any idea how much
Speaker 1: it costs. Like the highest bid was like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: like one two hundred and seventy that was like the
Speaker 1: high one, and everybody, including Drew Carey, were shocked to
Speaker 1: learn it was three thousand, five hundred. They were like
Speaker 1: what wait.
Speaker 2: What you mean? I know I want to hear this
Speaker 2: reaction that was at all. The price is right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: those praises a right without going over good luck, everybody,
Speaker 2: go ahead, here we go. They're going to reveal it
Speaker 2: one thousand. Okay, let's get to.
Speaker 1: One seven fifty one dollars.
Speaker 2: Here we go, here's the reveal.
Speaker 3: Three thousand, four hundred nine dollars.
Speaker 1: People are shouting no in the audience.
Speaker 9: They can't even be happy for her.
Speaker 7: They're all.
Speaker 2: That price point is way too high. God damn.
Speaker 1: But yeah, just nobody could believe, like it just was
Speaker 1: completely out of out of step with anybody's reality except
Speaker 1: for Tim Cooks.
Speaker 2: It seems like it's.
Speaker 9: Like always just my rent in San Francisco for my
Speaker 9: you know, my one bad that's just my Rent's easy.
Speaker 1: I can believe it again, like with the point about
Speaker 1: the mainstream media, like when it dropped the mainstream media
Speaker 1: headline five ways in which Apple Vision Pro will change
Speaker 1: how we work, game changer and immersive learning. Five ways
Speaker 1: apples Vision Pro could transform education and training.
Speaker 2: Damn, I'm just sorry. I hate to get emotional, gut,
Speaker 2: but I just crunched the numbers. That means David Zaslov
Speaker 2: can only buy forty one Apple Vision pros per day.
Speaker 2: That sucks, man, That's how that's how meager his South people.
Speaker 9: I use a calculator, Okay, I was like, damn, this deals.
Speaker 2: Really you should imagine if I was like a math Savannah.
Speaker 9: I was like, you got to be doing something else.
Speaker 2: Man, problematic capitalist math. So what did they make? That's
Speaker 2: on hundred forty that's only forty one Apple Vision pros.
Speaker 2: I can only I can only break down, and the
Speaker 2: crowd of numbers floating around his head like, no, that's
Speaker 2: TV show numbers. No, that's blunt smoke, all right, numbers. No,
Speaker 2: I'm smoking a blood sure thing numbers. I'm using a calculator.
Speaker 1: What sales for the Apple Vision Pro were poor? Desplite
Speaker 1: with the media would have had you believe to the
Speaker 1: point that Apple had to suspend back production in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four, leaving a factory full of tens of thousands
Speaker 1: of undelivered parts. Reminded me of the cyber truck.
Speaker 9: Why did they think that people would be able to
Speaker 9: buy those?
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I mean I remember when the iPhone first
Speaker 1: came out. It was crazy, like it was one thousand
Speaker 1: dollars and people are like, why the fuck would anybody
Speaker 1: pay that much for a phone?
Speaker 2: I'm finding like keyo Sarah right, and then people.
Speaker 7: Did, but you need a phone VR.
Speaker 9: It feels like it's entertainment, like you don't necessarily VR
Speaker 9: to gole about your day.
Speaker 2: But I think that's where they fucked up, because they
Speaker 2: acted like this was gonna change fucking everything, the way
Speaker 2: you write an email, the way you do this, and really,
Speaker 2: to me, I was like, the only thing I think
Speaker 2: could be fun is watching TV on it and it's
Speaker 2: like taking up everything. But even then they say, like
Speaker 2: the screen quality isn't great to even watch like a
Speaker 2: like a film. It's like, sure, it's huge, it fills
Speaker 2: up your your visual space, but like quality, yeah, it's
Speaker 2: like doesn't like the like you know, like you know,
Speaker 2: they always say the intensity of like the color black
Speaker 2: or darker colors against slighter colors, you get these like
Speaker 2: blooming effects that would have at least gotten that right.
Speaker 9: No, you want to be able to do your emails
Speaker 9: better like this, that's what it's for.
Speaker 1: You know, what I really like doing is my emails.
Speaker 1: Even there's a way to make that process like more interesting.
Speaker 2: I want to use my hands.
Speaker 9: You don't even pitch that as a solution, like who
Speaker 9: you can send emails better with your eyeballs? Like how
Speaker 9: are you even doing that? Are you doing it with
Speaker 9: your hands? Like this how are you even using the
Speaker 9: right emails? I don't, Tim, Tim.
Speaker 7: Apple, you got.
Speaker 2: I think what they should do is always just make
Speaker 2: a limited number and then see if people start flaming
Speaker 2: you for using that ship in public, stop making it.
Speaker 2: Stop making Google.
Speaker 7: Glass being bullied.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Google Glass would have learned way earlier, because it's
Speaker 2: second people start steping out of that, people like, what
Speaker 2: the fuck are you? Who are you? This ain't demolition man?
Speaker 2: Get and then like people I remember there were people
Speaker 2: fucking around trying to be like I'm using a vision
Speaker 2: pro like on the train. Some of those were fucking
Speaker 2: clearly a bit. But then you'd see other people they're like, Yo,
Speaker 2: this dude is brought the ship to a we work
Speaker 2: and they're like, no, this is people are not accepting it.
Speaker 2: And also the price work sometimes unattainable.
Speaker 1: It's just it was only adopted by people with the
Speaker 1: inability to feel shame.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or like the hyper apple stands like you know,
Speaker 2: like I know people like that, people in my family
Speaker 2: who are always I mean, I'm like this Apple thing.
Speaker 2: I'm like, you have no job, you have no jobs, sir,
Speaker 2: what are you doing?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: But if I had the Apple, I'm like no, you won't, bro.
Speaker 1: You have any idea how many resumes I'm going to
Speaker 1: get to send out the things that This article in
Speaker 1: Theinformation dot Com all these websites in the tech world
Speaker 1: what the fuck was cited both weak demand, high price,
Speaker 1: and lack of apps available on it. And in this case,
Speaker 1: I feel like apps is short for literal applications, as
Speaker 1: in uses of the thing I'm holding in my hands,
Speaker 1: But what are the applications for actually using this thing?
Speaker 1: Like nobody could figure that shit out anyways. Apple is
Speaker 1: full speed ahead on a more affordable version of the
Speaker 1: vision Pro, which we'll address exactly one of the reasons
Speaker 1: that it totally flawed. But VR gaming seems like it's
Speaker 1: on the way out, Like Minecraft just ended their VR support.
Speaker 1: More than half of game developers were pulled and said
Speaker 1: that the VR market is currently declining and stagnating. And
Speaker 1: of course, the biggest VR flop visionary him the visionary himself,
Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg and his Metaverse, which lost around seventy billion dollars. Wow,
Speaker 1: seventy billion dollars. That would like seventy billion dollars would
Speaker 1: make you one of like ten years ago, would make
Speaker 1: you the richest person in the world he lost. That
Speaker 1: still fun. He's still fine, and he's oh yeah, he's
Speaker 1: still like buying Hawaii to make a like fucking volcano layer.
Speaker 1: Speaking of people who have never been punched in the mouth.
Speaker 1: That's why, that's why he does jiu jitsu, probably because
Speaker 1: it doesn't involve any striking.
Speaker 9: He wants to, Yeah, because I feel like people make
Speaker 9: fun of him a lot, and he's like, well, yeah,
Speaker 9: say some of my things. No, I know how to
Speaker 9: arm bar.
Speaker 2: Yeah. They're like, okay, get your body guards out the way,
Speaker 2: you want to catch a crack one.
Speaker 1: Sir Metas, Chief Technology Officer this is the person who
Speaker 1: works for him, claimed that the metaverse idea was a
Speaker 1: legendary misadventure. It was a fucking Michael Douglas movie from
Speaker 1: the eighties. People.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what's so wild is like, you don't
Speaker 2: want a tech company reports a seventy billion dollar loss
Speaker 2: that means fucking layoffs in the next quarter because they
Speaker 2: have to fucking address that in their shareholder price. But
Speaker 2: like then it's it's so many people lose their jobs
Speaker 2: for less that you can be like, we pissed away
Speaker 2: seven What a legendary misadventure? Dude.
Speaker 1: That was a legendary fucking time.
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 11: Yeah, he tried it talking about a bachelor party. Yeah right,
Speaker 11: right right. It's like, you know how many people got
Speaker 11: laid off after that? I don't like, oh man, like
Speaker 11: probably ten thousand or something.
Speaker 2: We ruined why.
Speaker 9: Madary And it's never the person whose idea was right.
Speaker 9: Was it Mark's idea or was it somebody else was
Speaker 9: like Mark, we should do this thing, and he's like, okay,
Speaker 9: or was he like you guys?
Speaker 2: It feels like it was him the whole time. It
Speaker 2: seemed like there was a lot of beau. I feel
Speaker 2: like there are smart enough people that work it that
Speaker 2: kind of like I don't know, and he's like, I
Speaker 2: think we should do it. They're like, you know, Mark
Speaker 2: said it, and he was charismatic that time, so oh
Speaker 2: like that models home you are do this? He's damn.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The reason that oh no, yeah, it's and now we're
Speaker 1: just seeing everything shift to AI it was they just
Speaker 1: have to like jump from one over a future technology
Speaker 1: to the other. That it was like, right as the
Speaker 1: metaverse started to flop, Zuckerberg was like, you know, AI,
Speaker 1: I think is really oh is that right?
Speaker 2: Gonna be interesting and okay, so guys, everyone avoid AI.
Speaker 2: Then if he just said yeah, the metaverse guy is
Speaker 2: not saying this is the next thing. Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 9: They were doing they were doing comedy shows with VR
Speaker 9: during pandemic. I was like, you don't you have to
Speaker 9: have a headset to do it and they were like yeah.
Speaker 9: I'm like, we are unemployed.
Speaker 2: Doing They're like, can you buy an oculus? Head's like no,
Speaker 2: I'm currently fighting a neighbor over paper towers.
Speaker 7: All right, I don't want to tell dick jobs right
Speaker 7: now in here. This is weird.
Speaker 2: All right.
