Speaker 1: into American share consciousness. And I am jacking that over there.
Speaker 1: Well that's Miles Yep, Miles Gray.

Speaker 2: Some of her family like her, Some of her family
Speaker 2: hails from this part of Florida.
Speaker 3: And it's great.
Speaker 2: Man caught the caught the fucking Miami Boat Show in
Speaker 2: that the fucking traffic was so fucked up. I thought
Speaker 2: people were fleeing like this area for their lives. It
Speaker 2: was like apocalyptic bumper to bumper traffic at times.
Speaker 3: But yeah, other than that, did you catch it on
Speaker 3: purpose or you were just like study traffic?
Speaker 2: This is just a time when like her family was
Speaker 2: going to be able to get together because a lot
Speaker 2: of people had babies, so it was a time to
Speaker 2: like bring all the babies together.
Speaker 3: And it just happened to be the fucking weekend of
Speaker 3: the boat show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of boats, a lot of boats around,
Speaker 2: a lot of boat people.
Speaker 1: I once got caught in the US open up surfing
Speaker 1: by accident, like in what one of those beach towns
Speaker 1: down like Orange County area, and huh it was uh
Speaker 1: is the word? Like I was delayed like four hours.
Speaker 1: It was. It was a nightmare. Yeah, we just like
Speaker 1: gave up at a certain point and like went in
Speaker 1: a parking lot and took a nap.
Speaker 3: Oh shit, that's real bad. Now.
Speaker 2: I wasn't that bad, but it was definitely like like
Speaker 2: when we got in, like what the fuck's going on
Speaker 2: in town right now? And then every signs like boat
Speaker 2: show traffic's boat show thing this way? And then it
Speaker 2: rained all I think I brought the California rain with me. Anyway,
Speaker 2: It's fine, it's great Florida boat shows.
Speaker 1: Though, I'm assuming like a lot of just like kind
Speaker 1: of thoughtful messaging and design, some.
Speaker 2: Really cool trucks, you know, with some really really forward
Speaker 2: thinking progressive ideals blazoned on the front. Yeah, I've seen
Speaker 2: some fucking people have some really interesting placards, like like
Speaker 2: there's some I don't know, man, there's just it's like
Speaker 2: any city interesting placards. Okay, someone had a thing in
Speaker 2: there over like in their rear view window that looked
Speaker 2: like a handicap placard. It's like blue, and then if
Speaker 2: you look at it, it says I'm not handicapped, just
Speaker 2: slightly our word, and you're like, what the fuck?
Speaker 3: I was like, I was like, what the fuck is this?
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is a real attack, Like no, but
Speaker 3: what the fuck is this? And what is this person
Speaker 3: saying about themselves?
Speaker 2: So I don't know anyway, It's just there's a ton
Speaker 2: of there's there's a lot going on.
Speaker 3: Man, there's a lot going on. Florida, Florida baby.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, this is the show where we catch
Speaker 1: up with the things that have been trending over the
Speaker 1: past few days. It's a long weekend. This one feels
Speaker 1: especially long ago.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they were mere home. It's ago.
Speaker 1: I know, it's it's been a Some weekends is a decade,
Speaker 1: I think is the is the brilliant saying I think
Speaker 1: it was a check off or someone like that said
Speaker 1: some weekends is a decade.
Speaker 3: Some weeks. So before we.
Speaker 1: Get to that stuff, we do like to check in
Speaker 1: with each other by telling you stuff that we think.
Speaker 3: Is underrated, overrated?
Speaker 1: You want me to start off, you want to, you
Speaker 1: want me to kick us off with an underrated.
Speaker 3: Whatever you want, dealer's choice, dealer's choice.
Speaker 1: So my first underrated on a personal note, is my
Speaker 1: five year old's ability to just fucking roast me. I've
Speaker 1: talked about this before, but I came back, came home
Speaker 1: after a haircut yesterday and he just pointed at my
Speaker 1: head and said, what happened? And then wow, I said,
Speaker 1: I got a haircut, and he said, looks weird and
Speaker 1: then went back to buildings legos.
Speaker 3: So just casually, Uh no, is that what you buzzed
Speaker 3: your head? Yeah? Yeah, so I shaved my head off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just went all the way down like you happy now,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it looks weird.
Speaker 3: Back to my regularly scheduled programming. Yes, it's weird, man.
Speaker 1: I also put just on a broader scale. I saw
Speaker 1: this clip. Do you see the clip of the referee
Speaker 1: doing a jump ball in an NBA or in a
Speaker 1: not NBA in a basketball game and he just like
Speaker 1: kind of throws it to one of the teams. Like
Speaker 1: It's like, what would happen if I had like quantum
Speaker 1: leaped into a referee's body and then you like spun
Speaker 1: me around ten times and then just like sent me
Speaker 1: out there and was like jump off, you go go
Speaker 1: do this thing now.
Speaker 3: Yo, that is what is this game fixed? It really
Speaker 3: feels like it.
Speaker 1: You would be suspicious it was fixed if it weren't
Speaker 1: so blatant. But he just kind of like throws it
Speaker 1: to one team. Everybody's like kind of standing there, like
Speaker 1: confused as to what happened.
Speaker 4: This.
Speaker 2: Also, I've never seen a ref positioned like so far
Speaker 2: away from the two players on a jump ball.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, it's like he had never even seen a jump
Speaker 1: ball before.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was like they pulled him in off the street.
Speaker 1: It reminded me of the Enrico Palazzo scene in Naked
Speaker 1: Gun where Leslie Nielsen like takes over as the ref
Speaker 1: of a major league baseball game because he's like undercover
Speaker 1: and knows that one of the players is going to.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this I also it's very entertaining.
Speaker 2: First of all, honestly, what we have to put this
Speaker 2: in the footnotes because just I can't look. It's so
Speaker 2: it's confounding, like even the players are fucking confused. They
Speaker 2: stop the guy who stops like, yeah, play on, and
Speaker 2: he's like, oh shit, they starts.
Speaker 3: Taking the court. Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I there's I've talked before about how medieval carnivals, like
Speaker 1: they would have these weeks where people would switch jobs,
Speaker 1: like the chiefs would switch with the custodian, and the
Speaker 1: custodian would be the chief. And I think we should
Speaker 1: go back to people getting to just randomly or having
Speaker 1: to do the job of other people, just so that
Speaker 1: we appreciate those jobs more. Yeah, you know, like seeing
Speaker 1: somebody do the job of throwing a jump ball.
Speaker 3: This badly made me.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh shit, they must be working on their
Speaker 1: jump balls, like one hundred jump balls a day as
Speaker 1: a round, because this makes you realize how unnatural it
Speaker 1: is to be able to like throw throw it up
Speaker 1: in between two people like it.
Speaker 2: In a way that doesn't favor one over the other.
Speaker 2: Whereas this goes, it's like, hey, I'm passionate to you here,
Speaker 2: goo bud.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, they like Undercover Boss. I guess is entertain
Speaker 1: I've never watched it, but the premise is certainly entertaining.
Speaker 1: You never stacked towards the bosses, but like, if we
Speaker 1: got the opposite, where like if like a rich person
Speaker 1: got caught bitching about Starbucks employees on social media, they
Speaker 1: had to start in a reality TV episode or at
Speaker 1: least like an act of reality TV where they had
Speaker 1: to do like a Starbucks rush hour.
Speaker 3: No, that should be so entertaining.
Speaker 2: You should do for you do you do a work week,
Speaker 2: you know, and and and get your licks in.
Speaker 1: For sure, make people deliver their own Amazon package, you know.
Speaker 3: See what that process is?
Speaker 2: Like, Yeah, I think, yeah, I like the idea of, yeah,
Speaker 2: the people always need to do this. I forget what
Speaker 2: Guests was saying, like we need to make like uh
Speaker 2: like food service work mandatory for every American to just
Speaker 2: like set a baseline of decency for how we interact with.
Speaker 1: People instead of mandatory military service mandatory like McDonald's, which
Speaker 1: is sad because what we're saying is mandatory, get your
Speaker 1: shit together, you fucking adult, Like it's that's That's what
Speaker 1: where we have to lean in on is people to
Speaker 1: appreciate the work that others do. But yeah, Undercover Boss though, man,
Speaker 1: when that shit first came out, though, there was this
Speaker 1: thing like I'm sure I brought this up on the
Speaker 1: show before, but like in the early two thousands, like
Speaker 1: post nine to eleven, Like having a connection to someone
Speaker 1: in nine to eleven was like reality show gold where
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, after this person, yeah, they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: my partner was in nine to eleven and Bob they're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, or like, you know, there's an undercover boss.
Speaker 1: I remember there's a time when I was just like
Speaker 1: binge watching it on Netflix, and like every like there's
Speaker 1: a there's a while like oh my god, another fucking
Speaker 1: nine to eleven thing, And every now and then you'd
Speaker 1: get a boss who would actually kind of put together
Speaker 1: how hard it was to work at their company and
Speaker 1: then be like, yeah, you know what, we're actually making
Speaker 1: major changes right here, I realized, And then others were
Speaker 1: like these people fucking suck.
Speaker 3: So I fired them right away. Fuck them. Yeah. I
Speaker 3: noticed that they don't do.
Speaker 1: It the other way, where the you know, shift worker
Speaker 1: gets to do the job of the CEO and see
Speaker 1: how glorious it is, get to fly in a private
Speaker 1: jet and just have all of the minutia of day
Speaker 1: to day life taken care of for them. I feel
Speaker 1: like that would cause riots, and so they just focus
Speaker 1: on the CEO and I'm sure, there's never like an
Speaker 1: episode where the CEO is like completely unable to do
Speaker 1: the job. I'm sure they're always like telling a good story,
Speaker 1: but like if we could get the the honest truth
Speaker 1: of like how hard that work is compared to answering
Speaker 1: emails from a private No.
Speaker 2: There's ones where there you have these fucking office creatures
Speaker 2: cannot get busy with the blue collar work at all.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh and it's like yeah, and like to the point
Speaker 2: where the like the people who are the like the
Speaker 2: actual worker in this situation are like looking at them.
Speaker 2: They're like, I don't know, honestly, this guy has no
Speaker 2: fucking chance, Like I don't know if I can even
Speaker 2: work with them anymore. It's like, hey, buddy, i'd fire
Speaker 2: you if this were a real work day and not
Speaker 2: a camera thing. And then when it's revealed later like
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry, man, I said that to you, and
Speaker 2: the guy was like no, no, no, I I needed
Speaker 2: to hear that. I mean, like that just shows you
Speaker 2: how much work you guys put into this stuff and.
Speaker 3: How and you're fired.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but guess what asshold you've been fired?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyways, Uh, what's something you think Miles Gray is underrated.
Speaker 2: Ah man, Just I just think the ability of like
Speaker 2: I we were fucked with like some AI imagery.
Speaker 3: Man, they're the.
Speaker 2: Popularity of AI images on Grandma and Grandpa's Facebook.
Speaker 3: It's startling right now.
Speaker 2: Like I've seen a few accounts on face Book that
Speaker 2: are posting AI images. Yeah, like at first glance, seem
Speaker 2: like real photos but are actually AI generated. I've gotten
Speaker 2: like really into looking at mid journey and shit, just
Speaker 2: seeing how detailed you can be with like generating some
Speaker 2: of these images. So when I saw them, like you
Speaker 2: can kind of look and you're like, a tree doesn't
Speaker 2: really look like that, a bush like no one would
Speaker 2: cut their headges like that, And you can kind of
Speaker 2: see these other details when it's not necessarily a human
Speaker 2: that you can begin to see sort of like these abnormalities.
Speaker 2: But there are these accounts that post made up fancy
Speaker 2: houses or beach locations with interesting features or architecture, and
Speaker 2: all the commenters, most are older, are saying stuff like wow,
Speaker 2: so beautiful, must visit this place one day.
Speaker 3: Wow, stunning home.
Speaker 2: And there's just like a momentum to not questioning the
Speaker 2: images that we see already that we have like culturally,
Speaker 2: but like it's clear that the bar is even lower
Speaker 2: when it comes to like sort of innocuous shit like
Speaker 2: houses or landscapes. Now it's like, oh my god, so beautiful,
Speaker 2: and like I'm like, where the fuck is that? And
Speaker 2: then like you'll see on Reddit people being like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, like look at this, this like fucking AI
Speaker 2: thing is just blowing up because someone thinks it's like
Speaker 2: this beautiful home in the Alps. Yeah, and I just
Speaker 2: I just realized too, like we just like to see
Speaker 2: nice shit. So the AI stuff is really good at
Speaker 2: making things like that, and like this brutalist home library
Speaker 2: is fantastic, right, and like look at that fucking chair
Speaker 2: like in the corner that's not even that doesn't even
Speaker 2: function as a fucking chair, but whatever, it's It just
Speaker 2: kind of shows where we're very open to a lot
Speaker 2: of these images and it's not always easy to figure
Speaker 2: out what the fuck is real or not anymore.
Speaker 3: We're yeah, we're it's a weird time for AI for sure.
Speaker 3: Well we'll get into that a little bit later, but like.
Speaker 1: The video engines are are weird, but yeah, and then
Speaker 1: just on the image front, like I don't know, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about the New York post got like so horny
Speaker 1: for this ai rendering of Jack the Ripper. They were like, Oh,
Speaker 1: I want to he's so much.
Speaker 3: Jack.
Speaker 2: Rip me up, please, guy, mister rip up this ass.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's wild.
Speaker 1: My overrated is taking financial advice from The Cut. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw. I mean that was where
Speaker 1: I got all my financial advice on this point was
Speaker 1: New York Magazine's The Cut. But they were super late
Speaker 1: on this. But it again, it's like this weekend, a
Speaker 1: lot of shit happened like this happened late Thursday, I think.
Speaker 3: Uh and so, the.
Speaker 1: Personal finance columnist at The Cut wrote about how she
Speaker 1: got scammed by someone claiming to be a caller from Amazon.
Speaker 1: First flag, Amazon could have like accidentally like picked up
Speaker 1: your child instead of a package that you left out,
Speaker 1: and like you wouldn't be able to get them on
Speaker 1: the phone, you know, like they they don't have that,
Speaker 1: they don't have the phone. Yeah they don't. Yeah, Amazon
Speaker 1: don't have phone.
Speaker 2: The most you can do is like scream at like
Speaker 2: a Cohle's or a Whole Foods that act as like
Speaker 2: a drop off point for Amazon.
Speaker 3: Shit.
Speaker 1: Right then you know, the Amazon transferred her over to
Speaker 1: the FTC, who, by the way, don't like deal with
Speaker 1: fraud or any of this shit, who offered their badge number.
Speaker 1: Just I want everybody at home to Google FTC badge
Speaker 1: number because this was apparently, like what even before this
Speaker 1: article hit, the first result for FTC badge number is
Speaker 1: FTC commissioners aren't calling you really, Like this is just
Speaker 1: written at the top of Google, Like it's not even
Speaker 1: an article. It's just they've like pulled this as like
Speaker 1: a public service. Whether the color promises you a prize
Speaker 1: or threatens you with arrest, and even if they give
Speaker 1: a fake badge number, that's a scammer.
Speaker 3: Is Yeah, all they needed.
Speaker 1: To do was type FTC badge number into Google and
Speaker 1: Google would have helpfully been identified this as a scammer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're so bad at civics that we don't even
Speaker 2: know like you're like at the FTC, Yeah, the Federal
Speaker 2: Trade Commission. Unless you're like, uh fucking you're running some
Speaker 2: monopolistic business, you're not going to intersect with the FTC.
Speaker 2: Everyb like, here's my badge number FDC commercial. But oh okay, Miles.
Speaker 1: They got more serious from there, because then they transferred
Speaker 1: her over to a CIA agent who confirmed the information
Speaker 1: that the FTC badge holder was giving them a different
Speaker 1: voice and everything, and somehow it went from there to
Speaker 1: they convinced her that she was running out of time
Speaker 1: before for her assets were frozen for the length of
Speaker 1: the investigation because they were like, your identity has been stolen,
Speaker 1: and like people are committing crimes with your identity. We
Speaker 1: are like the NYPDS on their way to arrest you.
Speaker 1: We're going to freeze your assets. You need to withdraw
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars from your bank and give it, put
Speaker 1: it in a shoe box and give it to the CIA,
Speaker 1: to my CIA colleague.
Speaker 2: And she did all that shit. She put fifty racks
Speaker 2: in a shoe box and gave it to someone.
Speaker 3: And gave it to someone.
Speaker 1: They were like, a white escalade is going to pull up,
Speaker 1: you're going to put it in the window. You're going
Speaker 1: to say thank you, turn around and walk back into
Speaker 1: your building.
Speaker 3: And she did that shit.
Speaker 1: And it's one of those things where you hear the
Speaker 1: description of the article and you're like, oh, that's so dumb,
Speaker 1: like that, yeah, but that you're expecting, like it's written
Speaker 1: in a first person narrative.
Speaker 3: You're going to.
Speaker 1: Read it, read the details and get like some explanation
Speaker 1: or get like kind of pulled into the stream of
Speaker 1: events in a way that makes sense.
Speaker 3: Right you read it, and like there.
Speaker 1: Are just these details that are like even worse like
Speaker 1: that this person just has all this like privilege and
Speaker 1: also like a Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies level
Speaker 1: of desperation like this to be true. Yeah, exactly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: just like wanting to be in a spy movie. I
Speaker 1: think there's just, you know, a part of her that
Speaker 1: wants all these spy movie tropes to be true.
Speaker 3: And I, yeah, I don't know, it's it's it's scary
Speaker 3: man wild, that's true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And truly that person should not have fucking said
Speaker 2: anything out loud about this. Take that fucking l in silence,
Speaker 2: especially if you're coming off with somebody who's like, hey,
Speaker 2: listen to me for financial advice. I just pissed away
Speaker 2: fifty K in a shoe box because someone told me
Speaker 2: they were with the FTC won't let me be and
Speaker 2: they passed me to the CIA.
Speaker 3: What uh CIA? Again?
Speaker 2: Why does the Central Intelligence a.
Speaker 3: Badge number four four through two eight dash two? Can
Speaker 3: I help you? Yes?
Speaker 2: The White Escalade will be yes, and it is gonna
Speaker 2: be blasting a fucking young thug out of it, just
Speaker 2: so you know.
Speaker 3: Uh, but that is official CIA scammer music.
Speaker 1: There's a yeah, there's a part where like the person
Speaker 1: is like, I forget. I think it's like they're they're
Speaker 1: talking about.
Speaker 3: Her getting arrested.
Speaker 1: She's like, I'm thinking about googling whether this is even possible.
Speaker 1: And then he's like and this call is being recorded,
Speaker 1: and instead of like googling or like calling nine one
Speaker 1: one or whatever or just like hanging up. Uh, she
Speaker 1: is like, Oh, I know what I'll do. I'll record back.
Speaker 1: I'll record the call back. So I'm recording it. It's like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck is that going to do?
Speaker 2: That's like when when like like racist Karen's get caught
Speaker 2: in the wild and they're being videotaped videotaped and they're like,
Speaker 2: why now I'm getting my exact It's like.
Speaker 3: For what for what?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: No, yeah, y'all.
Speaker 2: This is I mean shout out to the scammers, because
Speaker 2: they really they did an inception style how many levels
Speaker 2: of the dream FDC layer C I A layer and
Speaker 2: now you are fifty psychological profile. I feel like that
Speaker 2: they had built out of this person. But she's also like,
Speaker 2: she thinks it's really a fascinating reading.
Speaker 3: People should go read it. We'll link off to it
Speaker 3: in the footnotes.
Speaker 1: But she is like, I'm not the type of person
Speaker 1: who falls for this. I vote, I flaws. I'm one,
Speaker 1: so I vote and flaws. Yeah, oh, lady, is this
Speaker 1: a man?
Speaker 3: This is a This is a woman. Do you know
Speaker 3: her name? Yeah? I mean and the.
Speaker 1: Fact that she's a freelance writer who at eighty K
Speaker 1: in the bank too, you know, yeah, ther shoe box.
Speaker 3: Uh, well, she's good with her money. At least She's like,
Speaker 3: you can be like me and be liquid fifty k
Speaker 3: that you can just be like yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Some people are saying that like her family is like
Speaker 1: related to the Roosevelts.
Speaker 3: I didn't.
Speaker 1: I wasn't able to like find confirmation on that, but
Speaker 1: it would check out. You know that this is like
Speaker 1: generational wealth.
Speaker 2: Just I also just like the idea that they're like,
Speaker 2: people are using your image to or your identity to
Speaker 2: scam people, And we know that people are using your
Speaker 2: image to scam people, but we are going to hold
Speaker 2: you responsible for that scamming, even though we know unequivocally
Speaker 2: you are not the person doing Like what the fuck
Speaker 2: the logic does?
Speaker 3: Oh boy?
Speaker 1: I mean when it gets to cash in a shoe
Speaker 1: box and a white escalad pulling up outside, I feel
Speaker 1: like there.
Speaker 3: Should be some sea.
Speaker 2: I watched too many scammer YouTube channels to fall for
Speaker 2: shit because but I don't watch any and I still
Speaker 2: feel like, yeah, yeah, you know, there's like there's a
Speaker 2: whole dude, there's a whole subgenre of YouTube videos where
Speaker 2: people are just fucking with scammers back with like voice
Speaker 2: changers and stuff, and it's great. Shoden Freud is some
Speaker 2: people are like terribly xenophobic, and it shows with the
Speaker 2: way they talk about the people they're like speaking with. Ye,
Speaker 2: but yeah, they people people love to work this kind
Speaker 2: of thing. Hi, I'm calling with this company you have
Speaker 2: an account with. I need to get you to our
Speaker 2: security team so then they can get some information from.
Speaker 3: You, right and boom boom boom. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyways, over eight, I'm no longer taking financial advice from
Speaker 1: The Cut exclusively. I'm going to also start taking financial
Speaker 1: advice from BuzzFeed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also I'm and Jim Kramer from Mad Money,
Speaker 2: so well, never turned your back on the Kramer Mine
Speaker 2: Overrated is just the Senate is turning into D one
Speaker 2: football bullshit.
Speaker 3: It's fucking hilarious.
Speaker 2: So, like, I was just reading this story about how
Speaker 2: the only shot the Democrats have at flipping Senator Tommy
Speaker 2: Tuberville's Senate c in Alabama is to have Nick Saban
Speaker 2: run against him, and they're like against a generic Democrat,
Speaker 2: Tuberville's winning against you know, Doug Jones. Tuberville's winning against
Speaker 2: all these other people they think, like, who are serious politicians?
Speaker 3: Like Tuberville's winning.
Speaker 2: He's like the one person who actually has an edge
Speaker 2: on Tuberville is Nick Saban from that University of Alabama,
Speaker 2: and I get it, like he's the god MC down there,
Speaker 2: but like it's just it. It blows my mind of
Speaker 2: the the logic that like the consultant class and party
Speaker 2: operatives are using to just be like, man, it's this
Speaker 2: is like fucking popularity Pokemon. We got to play where
Speaker 2: it's like, well, if the only character to beat this
Speaker 2: character is Nick Saban's, like what what about policy? Like
Speaker 2: where does he stand on issues? Has he even said
Speaker 2: he's interested? Because he hasn't, But yeah, it is it's
Speaker 2: wild to see just sort of like see us serious people,
Speaker 2: being like, that's what we gotta do, not maybe have
Speaker 2: a platform that would be so appealing to voters that
Speaker 2: you could put anyone who just seems like an upstanding person.
Speaker 2: And I get states are different from place to place,
Speaker 2: but like it's all a way to just not really
Speaker 2: change much of what a party is offering or whatever
Speaker 2: and be like, dude, you know how we can get
Speaker 2: away with doing the same shit. We get Nick Saban
Speaker 2: to run against Tommy Tuberville And that's just just disheartening
Speaker 2: that way of thinking.
Speaker 3: But I don't know, this is I guess this is
Speaker 3: where we're headed. Hopefully roll tide.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully New York from Flavor of Love will be
Speaker 2: running for office too.
Speaker 3: Someone that we can actually trust.
Speaker 2: Tiffany Pollard, come on, madam senator. All right, let's take
Speaker 2: a quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back.
Speaker 3: We're back.
Speaker 1: And So a handful of AI stories. One that was
Speaker 1: like kind of good news in the world of AI.
Speaker 1: So an Air Canada customer service chatbot was just just
Speaker 1: like made up a policy that the company wasn't aware
Speaker 1: of and told somebody like that they could get their
Speaker 1: money back on something and a judge has ruled that Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's no, that's that's on you, guys. You have to
Speaker 1: honor the refund policy invented by your chatbot.
Speaker 3: So that do you know, do you.
Speaker 2: Know what the policy was or just it was some
Speaker 2: kind of just refund thing where it's like, yeah, you
Speaker 2: get you have a.
Speaker 1: Partial refund to a grieving passenger who is misled by
Speaker 1: an airline chatbot inaccurately explaining the airlines bereavement travel policy.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like how Air Canada is, Like, dude, it's
Speaker 2: not even like a person that like we even know, right,
Speaker 2: you can't like they say, quote that chatbot is a
Speaker 2: separate legal entity that is responsible for its own actions.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if they're trying to get to
Speaker 1: that company that programmed the chatbot to like pay for it,
Speaker 1: but or if they were, like, I don't know, that's
Speaker 1: on him.
Speaker 3: You got to talk to him, the chatbot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a whole other legal entity and that's that's
Speaker 2: their own actions. You know that that that fucking thing,
Speaker 2: this AI shit that we implemented went fucking rogue.
Speaker 3: Holy shit. I love that.
Speaker 1: And then uh in kind of weirder AI news. The
Speaker 1: New York Post got super horny for this AI Jack
Speaker 1: the Ripper image that was, I don't know, it's just
Speaker 1: a real sign of where we are at this moment
Speaker 1: with AI, where people are just like so the New
Speaker 1: York Post covered it as Jack the Ripper's face is
Speaker 1: finally revealed thanks to the magic of AI.
Speaker 3: And the so the.
Speaker 1: Image shows like a highly stylized Christian bale, Like it's
Speaker 1: just Christian ye, a little bit of like Josh Hartnett, Yes,
Speaker 1: but like bail with like maybe a few prosthetics but
Speaker 1: like the yeah, and and then the other one. The
Speaker 1: profile for some reason looks like Adam Driver a little bit.
Speaker 1: But yeah, they just like used mid journey to make
Speaker 1: a hot guy.
Speaker 3: And uh.
Speaker 1: They claimed that it was based on like the digital
Speaker 1: or the genetic like DNA of a suspects relatives, right
Speaker 1: they so they took Cosminsky, the butcher's sister, uncle and
Speaker 1: brother in law and like fed it into a system.
Speaker 1: This is junk science that the police have been trying
Speaker 1: to use, Like the DNA used to generate a facial profile,
Speaker 1: an image of what the killer may look like. And
Speaker 1: it's like this generic image. But this time they they
Speaker 1: definitely had their scales tipped towards hot, like on the
Speaker 1: hot hell, because this guy's fucking cheekbones are off the charts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got a chiseled fucking also, question your honor. You
Speaker 1: fed images of his relatives, including his brother in law.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about who what does that have to do
Speaker 1: with any funny. It's just some motherfucker that married in
Speaker 1: your family.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Maybe they needed that because that was the hot guy
Speaker 2: from the pictures.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like just fucking yeah, Oh what's what's the
Speaker 3: sister look like?
Speaker 2: Ah?
Speaker 3: Man, and not that great the uncle? Oh boy, who's
Speaker 3: that guy? That's the brother in law? All right, all right,
Speaker 3: add that add that to the fucking to the prompt.
Speaker 3: But the way they wrote about it was wild. They
Speaker 3: were like, move over, Ted Bundy, there's a new old
Speaker 3: cereal hottie in town.
Speaker 2: Like that's not a joke, Like that's actually how they
Speaker 2: wrote about Yeah, that's not hyperbolic.
Speaker 3: That is verbatim. What is written in this thing.
Speaker 1: The dangerously dreamy drawings of the dashing gentleman with a
Speaker 1: darkly alluring, wild eyed energy.
Speaker 2: Like uh huh, what are we doing I get it,
Speaker 2: Like sometimes you just are horny, but that's like we're
Speaker 2: so horny to get murdered by hot people. Like that's
Speaker 2: what's weird, you know what I mean. It's like I
Speaker 2: don't need to extend anything or like oh well, I
Speaker 2: mean they were cute, you know what I mean. Like
Speaker 2: it's like when you first see like young hot Stalin,
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, okay, young hot Stalin. I see like wait, wait,
Speaker 2: wait man man, like you you fucking a lot of
Speaker 2: people fucking just.
Speaker 3: Hear me, daddy, yeah exactly.
Speaker 2: And now we're like, oh yeah, like nearly decapitate me,
Speaker 2: honey with if you're coming with wild hair like that,
Speaker 2: oh wee put it in the air.
Speaker 1: And then the other big a thing from the weekend
Speaker 1: was those videos from the Open a Eyes Like so,
Speaker 1: I forget the name that they gave the program, but Sora, yeah,
Speaker 1: they seem like a bad dream kind of like all
Speaker 1: all the videos, the ones of the animals, like I
Speaker 1: don't I don't really understand how they're doing it. So
Speaker 1: it's like kind of an impressive magic trick. But it's
Speaker 1: also like the eyes of the people are so like
Speaker 1: did you did you.
Speaker 3: Look at any of these videos.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did it because I saw a few comparisons
Speaker 2: where people were talking about how they were also very
Speaker 2: similar to like stock photo like stock video website that
Speaker 2: it's going from.
Speaker 3: So like it people are like, yeah.
Speaker 2: It's kind of impressive, but it's clearly like also just
Speaker 2: like mashing together ship from this like stock video thing.
Speaker 2: But I mean it's a lot better than remember like
Speaker 2: the early ones when it was like Will Smith eating spaghetti.
Speaker 3: Right, and I just thought it was like that one,
Speaker 3: but oh dude, that shit was.
Speaker 2: And it's funny too because Will Smith kind of he
Speaker 2: trolled them over the weekend and he actually just recorded
Speaker 2: a video of him eating spaghetti all in the wild
Speaker 2: and just to be like damn, look how far the
Speaker 2: AI came. It's like not motherfucker, Will Smith is just
Speaker 2: leaning into that shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like there's no one weirdest part of these videos,
Speaker 1: Like they're just like there's one video where a couple
Speaker 1: is like just lounging on the beach, oh and a
Speaker 1: great white shark like in the shallows, like kind of splashing,
Speaker 1: but it like almost looks like a kid is just
Speaker 1: like playing in the waves, like that's how the shark's
Speaker 1: energy is just there with his mouth open, just like
Speaker 1: kind of playing in the waves and like right in
Speaker 1: front of his parents. But then like the wife or
Speaker 1: the woman looks back at the camera and she just
Speaker 1: has her her mouth like wide open and her eyes
Speaker 1: like I don't know, there's just this like weird horror
Speaker 1: movie nightmarish energy, like a dementor has sucked the soul
Speaker 1: out of her face.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like, but it's also the physics of like the what
Speaker 2: we're not physics, but like the body mechanics of it too.
Speaker 2: That woman's head nearly twists fully around on that like
Speaker 2: one and eighty degrees, Like there's no shoulder movement, it's
Speaker 2: just like the head fucking rotates back towards the camera
Speaker 2: Like yeah, yeah, it's uh, not too impressed by that.
Speaker 2: Mid Journey looks a lot.
Speaker 3: Better, though.
Speaker 2: I gotta say those images are yeah, fucking wild. Like
Speaker 2: when people know how to properly prompt it, it does.
Speaker 1: Now get Like the NYPD dance video that I think
Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking about in tomorrow's episode, Yeah, like that.
Speaker 3: When I saw that, I was like, is it? Are
Speaker 3: we sure that genera AI?
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, this feels like everything seems kind of like
Speaker 1: a bad dream about that video, you know.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, did Tucker Carlson actually interviewed? Is that AI? Oh?
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, stranger than fiction.
Speaker 1: It's it's getting weird, Like I feel like that's the
Speaker 1: thing that's unnerving is.
Speaker 3: That the capabilities of the AI.
Speaker 1: Are going up and also getting weird as our reality
Speaker 1: is also like entering the Uncanny Valley somehow, Yeah, a
Speaker 1: little bit more untruly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's like just our just like our values
Speaker 2: are so all over the place too, Like we're obsessed
Speaker 2: with hot murderers. You know, there's just like there's just
Speaker 2: all these weird sort of I don't know, the way
Speaker 2: our brains are shifting is really feeding into it to
Speaker 2: in a weird way. And also like people just like
Speaker 2: our world seems so fucked up. It's like, of course
Speaker 2: these images of like beautiful locations are going to be
Speaker 2: so appealing to us because it's like, yeah, man.
Speaker 3: That looks like a that looks like a great place
Speaker 3: to be rather than where I'm at. So yeah, it's
Speaker 3: funny thing but where I'm at.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anything, but all right, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back.
Speaker 3: And we're back. We're back.
Speaker 1: Jordan, One's got a little less cool this weekend. I
Speaker 1: feel like, how I'm greeting this even though.
Speaker 2: I got an iconic basketball shoes, Can you even play basketball?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I like of all the things, like they they look
Speaker 1: like shit, they're you know, made by Trump. They're not
Speaker 1: even that comfortable, you know. I yeah, because you got
Speaker 1: your pair ride, I got my pair man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you put that mixtape you put off when you
Speaker 2: said you were like you were doing Zion Williamson type shit,
Speaker 2: I didn't realize you meant that your foot was just
Speaker 2: gonna blow out of the terribly made sneaker.
Speaker 3: I thought you're gonna dunk or some shit.
Speaker 1: God, could you imagine trying Like if an NBA player
Speaker 1: were these, that would actually be a great but their
Speaker 1: whole career.
Speaker 2: I think if you, I think just harmicley. You just
Speaker 2: don't put those things on the court.
Speaker 1: But yeah, So it does feel like a year since
Speaker 1: last Friday, when Trump first announced that he'd be attending
Speaker 1: sneaker Con in Philadelphia, putting the con in uh, putting
Speaker 1: all the emphasis on con. For this sneaker con, there was,
Speaker 1: of course, a major backlash, forcing sneaker Con to turn
Speaker 1: off their comments on social media and release a bullshit
Speaker 1: statement being like we just really like want to do
Speaker 1: whatever makes people aware of sneakers, and so that's why
Speaker 1: we accepted this grip.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's to bring awareness to the issue.
Speaker 1: We're just driving awareness for sneakers, Like don't you understand,
Speaker 1: like people out there don't even like know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the billions of dollars are moving around, but nobody knows,
Speaker 2: and we just need someone to act as a conduit
Speaker 2: to really spread the news. These shoes are fucking offensive.
Speaker 2: They're a oak on the viewer, the purchaser whoever. And
Speaker 2: that dude, that whole fucking presentation was so fucking weird.
Speaker 3: Have you seen the.
Speaker 2: Full presentation with a person came up on stage. Huh Well,
Speaker 2: here's a clip of him pulling up to the lectern
Speaker 2: with his jank Force ones in hand.
Speaker 4: Hello everybody, so thank you very much.
Speaker 3: And we have a few young ladies that are up
Speaker 3: here crying.
Speaker 4: Look at you with the Trump twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: Thank you darling, I love you too. Wow. A lot
Speaker 3: of emotion. There's a lot of emotion and there's thank.
Speaker 4: You, thank you so so the really nice thing is
Speaker 4: we have lines and I want to thank Chase, and
Speaker 4: I want.
Speaker 3: To thank all fu fuckings going all around the block.
Speaker 3: They're going all around this blood.
Speaker 4: They've never seen anything like this one. I just want
Speaker 4: to tell you, you know, I've wanted to do this
Speaker 4: for a long time. I have some incredible people that
Speaker 4: work with me on things. They came up with us,
Speaker 4: and this is something I've been talking about for twelve years,
Speaker 4: thirteen years.
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna.
Speaker 4: Be Your influencers have been very positive.
Speaker 3: They've been real influences. And are people giving him the
Speaker 3: finger down front up? Yeah, that's the real deal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been thinking about this for twelve or thirteen years.
Speaker 2: Shut uh, motherfucker. You can't you remember twelve or thirteen
Speaker 2: minutes ago.
Speaker 1: Actually the Air Jordan ones were actually influenced by me.
Speaker 1: I told him, you know, a high top with this
Speaker 1: thirteen years ago.
Speaker 2: I remember there was a re release of the Air
Speaker 2: Jordan Concord eleven and I said, we need to get
Speaker 2: in on that. So then I decided to just put
Speaker 2: lead gold paint on my existing shoes and put stars
Speaker 2: and stripes on it.
Speaker 3: Dude.
Speaker 2: So at the end of this, this person comes up
Speaker 2: to the lecture and this woman comes up wearing like
Speaker 2: a Trump houddie, acting pretending that this is like some
Speaker 2: enthusiastic fan, and then Trump's just letting them like rant
Speaker 2: at the electern like we.
Speaker 3: Neither reelect Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: He's a very good man, and people are like, holy shit, wow,
Speaker 2: this person is a fan.
Speaker 3: I'm like, are you for real?
Speaker 2: You think this secret service just lets random herbs pull
Speaker 2: it right to the lectern as a fucking former.
Speaker 3: But no, that's a fucking plant.
Speaker 2: So the whole thing was like, the whole thing was
Speaker 2: fucking all over the place, and the ship, I mean,
Speaker 2: I think a lot of I think few resellers bought
Speaker 2: them because people were saying parents are on eBay going
Speaker 2: for like triple quadruple the price, maybe even more.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, oh that doesn't mean an audience for it,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but that that's funny, is that reseller money
Speaker 2: that doesn't go to Trump unless unless Trump is really
Speaker 2: think of four D and he's like, all the way
Speaker 2: them up and then resell them yourself. So you could
Speaker 2: have like a ten X markup on the shoe. That's
Speaker 2: look that that's where the real that's where the dolls
Speaker 2: at Trump. But yeah, the resell market is it's not
Speaker 2: is not doing great recently.
Speaker 1: It's just so wild that he's still so desperately wants
Speaker 1: to be cool, you know, like I thought he kind
Speaker 1: of knew what the game was at this point, Like
Speaker 1: he's only talking to like carefully curated audiences of his supporters,
Speaker 1: and you know he does, you know, he stays locked
Speaker 1: away with like yes men. So for him to like
Speaker 1: try and drop drop a sneaker like and like go
Speaker 1: out at a sneaker con thing and think that the
Speaker 1: reception was gonna be anything except this is so wild.
Speaker 1: I mean, it reminds me, you know, he always wants
Speaker 1: the one thing he can't have, Like the approval of
Speaker 1: The New York Times led to him granting Maggie Haberman
Speaker 1: like all this access that was ultimately probably bad backfired.
Speaker 2: But he just like wants to be like you know, yeah,
Speaker 2: I wonder how much of his like Baron, you know,
Speaker 2: like maybe not what am I saying?
Speaker 3: This motherfucker don't give a shit about his kids, Like was.
Speaker 2: Like Baron, I know you like those I have his
Speaker 2: Scott Stuss, Scottson's j Jay Walker's I got check out
Speaker 2: Daddy's lead pair of shoes.
Speaker 3: I mean all this obviously too.
Speaker 2: Is the timing right, Like he gets fucking hit with
Speaker 2: what's gonna with interest around a four hundred million dollar
Speaker 2: penalty from.
Speaker 3: The signing rod pace the next day. The next fucking day, yo.
Speaker 2: I I owe like four hundred million. It's not a
Speaker 2: fucking game, yo. But here I got these sneakers, which
Speaker 2: makes me think, like when did the con? When did
Speaker 2: they When did he think this up? Was this something
Speaker 2: that was in the world thirteen years just like, oh,
Speaker 2: you're right, my bad.
Speaker 1: My bad, Yeah, exactly the time it couldn't have been Yeah,
Speaker 1: like even if I'm sure it had to have been planned,
Speaker 1: like not the day before, Yeah, great on an announcing it,
Speaker 1: like but he was like you got to get it
Speaker 1: for sneak er con.
Speaker 3: They love me there. It's going to be big, Yeah,
Speaker 3: big news to heels that. I mean, we'll probably talk
Speaker 3: about this on tomorrow's episode.
Speaker 2: But like, this man knows a lot of money, and
Speaker 2: there's really from what it looks like, he has very
Speaker 2: limited avenues to appeal or even like get the sum
Speaker 2: taken down because people are like, this isn't based on testimony,
Speaker 2: like it's based on records.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, Like that's right. That's even
Speaker 3: harder to appeal.
Speaker 2: It's like this isn't because somebody said, so we're looking
Speaker 2: at the fucking papers you filled out and just.
Speaker 3: Being like, yeah, so this this this comes out to
Speaker 3: about yeah, four fifty four hundred, yeah, yeah, yeah, take that.
Speaker 1: A lot of this has the kind of unmistakable scent
Speaker 1: of like a scam. Like there's it says on the
Speaker 1: website like Trump sneakers are not design, manufactured, distributed, or
Speaker 1: sold by Donald J. Trump, the Trump Organization, or any
Speaker 1: of their respective affiliates or principles.
Speaker 3: Which is weird because he's like, literally, is that right,
Speaker 3: sneaker cons man? Is that an elector in person?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: But then so the website where you buy the shoes
Speaker 3: is run by a company called c C Ventures LLC,
Speaker 3: which tru reported owning in his twenty twenty three financial disclosures,
Speaker 3: and then CIC is getting a fee from forty five
Speaker 3: Footwear LLC, a shoe company supposedly based out of a
Speaker 3: rundown house in a grimy shopping mall in Sheridan, Wyoming,
Speaker 3: which is a town that is like famous for catering
Speaker 3: to sketchy shell companies like there's the town has like
Speaker 3: registered agents that act as gatekeepers and provide US addresses
Speaker 3: that like basically don't exist for shell companies. So what
Speaker 3: is it illegal for? Like why do this shit? You
Speaker 3: know what I mean? Like the NFTs it was, I
Speaker 3: don't think it was ever like this.
Speaker 2: There's got nothing to do with me, even though I'm
Speaker 2: hawking it and I'm directing I benefit directly from it.
Speaker 2: Is there, Like, is there a legal reason to have
Speaker 2: to do all this fucking shell game shit? I mean,
Speaker 2: the sophistication of his like legal understanding of like financial
Speaker 2: laws and just all laws pretty limited, especially at this
Speaker 2: point after he's alienated and like sued every lawyer who
Speaker 2: worked for him.
Speaker 1: So I feel like maybe he's just like putting that in,
Speaker 1: like tossing that out there is a disclaimer, hoping that
Speaker 1: it protects.
Speaker 3: Him, even though I had no reason to suspect that
Speaker 3: it does.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, he's trying. He's doing his best. Man, he's
Speaker 2: doing his best to get back on his feet because
Speaker 2: he's going to be broke, folks.
Speaker 3: H I can't wait.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see this new phase, to see
Speaker 2: like what the financial pressure actually does to him because
Speaker 2: he does have to put this money up in thirty days.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's also running for president and yeah, I get.
Speaker 1: I mean he must have enough money, like in from
Speaker 1: all the just drifting humans.
Speaker 2: The New York Times reporter, who's reporting was the basis
Speaker 2: for this civil fraud trial, he said, when looking at
Speaker 2: the things, he he suspected Trump only had about fifty
Speaker 2: million dollars. Wow, and then everything's tied up in these
Speaker 2: other businesses and then a lot of the businesses just
Speaker 2: bleed money and are like debt pits. So I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's one of these things that's
Speaker 2: going to get solved because a you know, a mysterious
Speaker 2: buyer from Saudi Arabia purchased one of these business for
Speaker 2: like ten times what the cost was and it's magically
Speaker 2: delicious now.
Speaker 3: But I don't know, and like that wouldn't be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure like the way he's worked things in
Speaker 1: the past has been like doing illegal shit and then
Speaker 1: just like delaying, delaying, delaying the.
Speaker 3: Consequences in court. So I'm sure, yeah, do some manner
Speaker 3: of that, right, But yeah.
Speaker 2: But I think the one thing for sure is that
Speaker 2: money has to Like that money has to be handed
Speaker 2: over in thirty days. They're like, there's no way around that,
Speaker 2: even if you're appealing like that, and then it would
Speaker 2: be held. But you have to come up with that,
Speaker 2: and how you do that is anyone's guess. But there's
Speaker 2: a few, you know, independent bodies now who are in
Speaker 2: the Trump organization to make sure that they are complying.
Speaker 2: So hey, more complexity to come.
Speaker 1: Finally, the box office report Hollywood shockingly undervalued how much
Speaker 1: people love Bob Marley For some reason? What is it
Speaker 1: about Bob Marley that made them not totally you know,
Speaker 1: appreciate how popular he was.
Speaker 2: Is it all the posters fucking everywhere and merch that
Speaker 2: people just wear passively?
Speaker 3: What could it be? What is it about this?
Speaker 1: Marlee Fellow, so one love The Bob Marley movie was
Speaker 1: projected to make around thirty million dollars to thirty five
Speaker 1: between Wednesday and Monday. It ended up making fifty two
Speaker 1: million dollars just in the US, taking the number one
Speaker 1: spot of the box office over Madam Webb, which.
Speaker 3: Like that one really, so that's a comic book movie.
Speaker 1: Has a certain baseline, or has had a certain baseline
Speaker 1: up to this point. That movie Morbius, which was similarly
Speaker 1: a Spider Man universe movie that didn't have Spider Man
Speaker 1: in it. I barely noticed it, like even that it
Speaker 1: came out, didn't realize it had anything to do with
Speaker 1: Spider Man. That one made thirty nine million dollars in
Speaker 1: its three day debut. Madam Web made seventeen point six million.
Speaker 1: So this is like a new low for how bad
Speaker 1: a comic book movie can possibly do. But yeah, so
Speaker 1: that they were like betting on Madam Web and they're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess there's this Bob Marley thing that we can
Speaker 1: throw out. It has the word love in the title.
Speaker 1: Let's put it out on Valentine's Day is literally what
Speaker 1: they did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, people say it's not that movie is also not Like,
Speaker 2: if you're looking for a real, unadulterated look into Bob
Speaker 2: Marley's life, this isn't the movie.
Speaker 3: But again, this feels like the movie for people who
Speaker 3: have a Bob Marley one love t shirt. Right.
Speaker 2: I just want to hear about the trippy artist poet guy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: no dark stuff at all, just keep it just we
Speaker 2: love it.
Speaker 3: We love it. The critics we're not feeling it.
Speaker 1: No, but hey, Bob Marley is definitely one of those
Speaker 1: people who's like so iconic it feels weird to have
Speaker 1: somebody play him, like the guy, Like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: the actor playing him didn't seem like he was giving
Speaker 1: me that much like Marley or it was like doing
Speaker 1: the magic trick that you need a movie to do
Speaker 1: to be like, no, that that is Bob Marley. I
Speaker 1: guess you know, yeah, Kingsley Bennetteer is the actor, and
Speaker 1: it definitely it feels like a.
Speaker 3: Dude wearing a Bob Marley.
Speaker 2: I mean like yeah, like looking at it, you're like,
Speaker 2: oh shit, that's Bob Marley. Because also like I don't
Speaker 2: know why his dreads look so bad, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, Like that's the part I think that's that.
Speaker 2: That's the part that really my fucking brain cannot like
Speaker 2: wrap my head around. Like at least ship dread it
Speaker 2: looked like a helmet. It looks like a fucking like
Speaker 2: a Dea agent is pretending to be a Rasta to
Speaker 2: buy weed.
Speaker 3: The wig is not not our best wig work, And
Speaker 3: like come on, there's I know these dreads.
Speaker 2: Can look because they don't they damn sure don't look
Speaker 2: like Bob Marley's dreadlocks, no iconic, wonderful dreadlocks, like not
Speaker 2: his young guy sort of. You know when Zach Dala
Speaker 2: Rocca was rocking that kind of style of dreads back
Speaker 2: in the day and not like the shorter ones and
Speaker 2: then even the like latter day ones. It really looks
Speaker 2: like a helmet that had locked things like like sewed
Speaker 2: into them. Yeah, and yeah, it's some experience. When I
Speaker 2: wear that, it's not good either. So yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: red lock hat, you're definitely not getting the reactions you
Speaker 2: thought you were getting. You're like wearing that knit cap.
Speaker 2: This is just because I like Bob Marley. Fine, it's
Speaker 2: a trite. Yeah, every time you go I have told
Speaker 2: you don't go in that fucking barber shop and say
Speaker 2: walk on. I'm telling you it's not gonna work out
Speaker 2: for you the way wan bro oh no, get them
Speaker 2: out of here, get him out. Did you see the
Speaker 2: fucking I saw a couple of clips on Twitter, and
Speaker 2: I don't know if there're bs or whatever.
Speaker 3: That's all I'll fucking you know, I'll give you that
Speaker 3: caveat before.
Speaker 2: But like it looked like there were literally just full
Speaker 2: on empty theaters of Madam Web like people be like
Speaker 2: I'm at the showing it's me and my homeboy and
Speaker 2: there's nobody else in here. I mean that shit happens,
Speaker 2: like I've been in plenty of movie I guess, maybe
Speaker 2: not on the opening weekend.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah. Yeah when I saw that Netflix movie Leave.
Speaker 1: The World Behind, like the when it was out, and
Speaker 1: they were just like I had completely given up on it.
Speaker 1: It was it was me and nobody else in the
Speaker 1: entire so yeah, I mean, but Madam Webb was like
Speaker 1: had a whole press to like leave the World Behind.
Speaker 1: They were just like, ah, we'll see if anybody watches
Speaker 1: on Netflix. Madam Web was like they like I had,
Speaker 1: I wasn't even close to there.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 1: In all the multi verses in my where where I exist,
Speaker 1: I did not see Madam Web. Like not in zero
Speaker 1: percent of them did I see Madam Web. But I
Speaker 1: knew that shit existed, like in probably most of them
Speaker 1: you couldn't miss it. But somehow like that just nobody
Speaker 1: wanted to see that shit.
Speaker 2: Pretty well, it's it's uh, I mean, they spent not
Speaker 2: that much. They said the budget was around one hundred
Speaker 2: million for a superhero movie. That is pretty pretty tame. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I think I think one way too much. Yeah, Sony,
Speaker 2: leave the Spider Man shit alone, unless it's that real
Speaker 2: Spider Man or the fucking the animated shit, because that's
Speaker 2: the only thing that people are fucking with. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: they're really trying to. There's already like shady fucking stories
Speaker 2: in the Hollywood Reporter inside Sony's Madam Webb collapse. Forget
Speaker 2: about a new franchise. The flop is wiping out an
Speaker 2: entire plan for a new movie series as a studio
Speaker 2: becomes the latest superhero studio in need of a pivot. Yeah,
Speaker 2: just again, leave it alone. There's you could have used
Speaker 2: these same actresses and done them maybe in the original
Speaker 2: film that had nothing to do with Spider Man.
Speaker 3: Look, you can't.
Speaker 1: We don't know that Bob Marley had superpowers, but we
Speaker 1: don't know that he didn't.
Speaker 3: Oh so all we're saying is I can see a
Speaker 3: white guy who's like, I mean, his hair is kind
Speaker 3: of like Spider webs. Yeah, that's pretty amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And like maybe his power is like you know,
Speaker 2: like one love, like you can make everyone sort of
Speaker 2: just like love, like you know, succumb to the power
Speaker 2: of love or something.
Speaker 3: I don't know, just let's think about it all right.
Speaker 1: Well, those are some of the things that we're trending
Speaker 1: over the weekend. We are back tomorrow with the whole
Speaker 1: last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to
Speaker 1: each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, don't
Speaker 1: do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk you
Speaker 1: out tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Bye. Bite
