Speaker 1: comedy writers doing it anywhere. The creator and writer behind
Speaker 1: Bird's Rights activist on Twitter writes for the amazing YouTube
Speaker 1: show Some More News hosts the podcast Creature feature, where
Speaker 1: you learn all the weirdest shit you didn't know you
Speaker 1: wanted to know about various creatures, including the weirdest and
Speaker 1: grossest creature of all mankind. I know, I write, I
Speaker 1: wrote that like it's copy that you provided to me, Katie,
Speaker 1: and that's not fair. That's I wrote, Yeah, I apologize.
Speaker 1: Also recently started co hosting secretly incredibly fascinating. She's doing
Speaker 1: it all from the comfort of her home in Italy.
Speaker 1: It's the brilliant the town to Katie Golden me, oh man, sorry,
Speaker 1: you got me excited, That's what I said. Oh man,
Speaker 1: I thought you were Mario for a second. I'm very
Speaker 1: easily for I saw that movie yesterday. I'm sure it
Speaker 1: came to the US late. It's been out in Italy
Speaker 1: for years because the Italian heritage and pride in the
Speaker 1: movie is evident. But yeah, there's you know, anybody who
Speaker 1: was concerned, including myself, that it was just gonna be
Speaker 1: Chris Pratt being like, it's me Mari. There's lots of
Speaker 1: Mama's Mia. There's lots of It's ames sprinkled throughout. I
Speaker 1: don't know if they I have to assume that some
Speaker 1: high level executive at Illumination is Zeit Gang and heard
Speaker 1: our concerns and addressed them. Because they are they are
Speaker 1: like suspiciously ad yard in there, like the last second.
Speaker 5: So it would have been banned in Italy if they
Speaker 5: hadn't put those in there. The fascist government, Maloney's government
Speaker 5: would have just banned it. If they're there's a new
Speaker 5: law that you need to have a certain number of
Speaker 5: Mama MIAs or else the movie is banned.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got to get the Italian cut, Jack. That's gonna.
Speaker 2: They made a special cut that's like just extra mamas
Speaker 2: mea three hours long, and it's.
Speaker 5: So many mamas of the Mia Yeah, am Mama's. I mean,
Speaker 5: I do want to say about the Subway. The pasta
Speaker 5: at Subway seems like their worst marketing decision since Jared.
Speaker 1: Fogel, you know, yeah oh Man, Kid Rock and Jared
Speaker 1: Fogel together in a single AKA finally like we all
Speaker 1: want it.
Speaker 4: I just I just want to say for the record,
Speaker 4: because you two are clearly haters.
Speaker 2: When I lived in New York, I love the shit
Speaker 2: out of like a grocery store pasta, like a like
Speaker 2: a gristities pasta bar at lunch.
Speaker 4: So I'm guessing way that much worse.
Speaker 1: No, I I also like it makes sense to me,
Speaker 1: and yet like the casualness with which they were just
Speaker 1: like Subway has pasta now, which is like through because
Speaker 1: like I guess it's like fast food. Pasta was not
Speaker 1: really a thing prior to this other than Frizzoli's, like
Speaker 1: places that were by Frizzoli's. So the they were just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we got pasta now, And I like, I legitimately googled
Speaker 1: after seeing the ad. I legitimately googled Google because it
Speaker 1: was near April first, and I was like, is this
Speaker 1: an April joke? And but like that's the thing. I
Speaker 1: don't know why. It's fucked me up so bad. It
Speaker 1: doesn't make s It's it's fine. Why wouldn't they have pasta?
Speaker 1: And yet I'm like, just.
Speaker 5: Now, are they called pasta artists or are they still
Speaker 5: sandwich artists?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great question. I mean my kindergarteners a
Speaker 1: pasta artist based on lunch right after this, Yeah, for you. Now,
Speaker 1: I lived when I lived in New York. I like
Speaker 1: part of the experience of living New York is like
Speaker 1: budgeting yourself seven dollars for food per day. And one
Speaker 1: of the things that I got was the six inch
Speaker 1: subway turkey sandwich and it was it was bad. Like
Speaker 1: there's when I think of the memories of those times,
Speaker 1: like this is when like Cracked was just starting. We
Speaker 1: were in a like shitty thirty something street office and
Speaker 1: I just remember eating my six inch subway turkey sandwich
Speaker 1: with ranch on it and uh and branch ranch, diet,
Speaker 1: drinking diet sprite and chewing nakedine gum. And my memories
Speaker 1: of that, like the color is like those memories are
Speaker 1: in black and white because it's just like so dark,
Speaker 1: so bleak.
Speaker 2: Jack has like a like a Proofs Madeline face on
Speaker 2: right now when he's remembering every every set from that moment,
Speaker 2: it's really wonderful.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I remember, and it was really like a
Speaker 1: dark night of the soul.
Speaker 6: It was really.
Speaker 5: Burns.
Speaker 1: That's right, all right, Well sorry, sorry I've taken that
Speaker 1: yet so much of the intro up with my uh.
Speaker 4: The listeners are here for Jack to just remember. Jack's
Speaker 4: remembering Jack remember stuff.
Speaker 5: These are the sandwiches I've had.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's right, all right. Do you guys have any
Speaker 1: memories like that where it's like the memory is actually
Speaker 1: like the the memory is dark because things on your
Speaker 1: end were darker?
Speaker 4: Is that just me?
Speaker 5: I have really bright memories like that. I once was
Speaker 5: in an office where the lights were too bright, and
Speaker 5: I remember having like I would have to look at
Speaker 5: medical pictures and they were really gross, and I'd eat
Speaker 5: lentil soup every day. Again, I was also on a budget.
Speaker 5: My my budget food was lentils, and so I'd be
Speaker 5: eating like I could see the lentils are good.
Speaker 1: It was tasty. But I believe my budget diet.
Speaker 5: Yes, they are a good budget food. They're just a
Speaker 5: tasty food in general. I still have them, but lentil
Speaker 5: soup every day does get a little old. And I
Speaker 5: did remember just seeing every detail of the lentils and
Speaker 5: these bright fluorescent lights as I was looking at like
Speaker 5: foot surgery and just wondering, wondering about my life.
Speaker 4: Damn, I think once again I that same time in
Speaker 4: my life.
Speaker 2: I was at a soccer game yesterday and I got
Speaker 2: some like tacos from the street vendor outside, and I
Speaker 2: just remembered. I was like, oh, when I was in
Speaker 2: my twenties, I used to eat like ninety percent of
Speaker 2: my meals standing up and often walking.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I like that part. I think, oh, yes,
Speaker 4: movies all the time.
Speaker 1: It was walking, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'd say over
Speaker 1: half of my calories were pizza. Were like the cheapest
Speaker 1: pizza that I could get.
Speaker 4: But that dude, yeah, how abongo bro.
Speaker 1: I did live in the sewer with my three best
Speaker 1: friends or master. All right, Katie, we're gonna get to
Speaker 1: know you a little bit better at the moment. First,
Speaker 1: we have some big news that y'all learned yesterday. But
Speaker 1: we just learned this morning, we're still excited. We've still
Speaker 1: got that Tucker Carlson getting fired glow, so we're going
Speaker 1: to talk about that speculate what he's up to next.
Speaker 1: There's a new profile of the UFO Pentagon guy, the
Speaker 1: lou Elizondo, that I thought was illuminating, so we I've
Speaker 1: already just really indulged in whatever I want to talk
Speaker 1: about this episode, so we might skip that one for
Speaker 1: today and get to it later in the week. Twitter's
Speaker 1: check Mark drama is still going on, so we can
Speaker 1: talk about that plenty more. But first, Katie, we do
Speaker 1: like to ask our guest, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history?
Speaker 5: Oh, the last thing was ice worm festival. I think
Speaker 5: I was doing some research on the ice worm festival
Speaker 5: in Alaska, so you know it's I mean it was
Speaker 5: for it was for my podcast on animals, but I
Speaker 5: there's a festival that celebrates the ice worm. And I'm
Speaker 5: always really interested in other people who get really excited
Speaker 5: about something, because an ice worm is just this little
Speaker 5: tiny black worm that in glaciers and ice and I
Speaker 5: thought I was the only other person in the world
Speaker 5: who would like to go to a festival to celebrate
Speaker 5: the ice worm. But no, there are at least a
Speaker 5: dozen others and the people strong approximately and you know
Speaker 5: they have ice worm volleyball, ice worm crafts, ice the
Speaker 5: ice worm Hike. I love it. These are my people
Speaker 5: and I've found them.
Speaker 1: What is ice worm volleyball? Is it just volleyball with
Speaker 1: ice worm t shirts on?
Speaker 5: Probably? Right, it's probably regular volleyball. But you keep going
Speaker 5: like I love ice worms.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably cold at least, I guess, yeah, snow volleyball. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The illustration from the ice Worm Festival and the physical
Speaker 2: mascot is very, very unnerving. It's like the like the
Speaker 2: Magwai version of the Jackfrot, the scary Jack Frost, like.
Speaker 1: The George clannyone that became Michael Keaton, that one. No,
Speaker 1: oh okay, Cordova ice Worm Festival.
Speaker 5: That's right, yeah, yeah, And like they do have a
Speaker 5: parade where they have a giant ice worm where it's
Speaker 5: like a bunch of people, like maybe twenty people wearing
Speaker 5: the ice worm costume. And it boggles my mind that
Speaker 5: they could find twenty people who want to go to
Speaker 5: the ice Worm Festival to wear the costume and still
Speaker 5: have people watch them doing traders. Yeah right, right, I'm
Speaker 5: not saying this with any hate in my heart. I
Speaker 5: absolutely love that there is an ice worm festival, and
Speaker 5: it makes me happier knowing this exists. I'm just surprised
Speaker 5: there are other people who would also enjoy the ice
Speaker 5: worm festival. Actually, Sore and Bowie, I'm sure you guys
Speaker 5: know he was on the show. He was he suggested
Speaker 5: the topic to me, the ice worm, and he didn't
Speaker 5: even know that there was an ice worm festival.
Speaker 1: Sworm Bowie, former crack writer who grew up in the
Speaker 1: wilds of Colorado, like juggling axes and shit.
Speaker 5: Yeah, very slurping up ice worms.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is the ice worm look like it? Because the
Speaker 1: mascot is white and segmented and like looks like what
Speaker 1: a animator might make for an ice worm. And you're
Speaker 1: telling me it's a small black worm.
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, it doesn't look anything like the mascot. When
Speaker 5: you zoom into an ice worm, it looks very hairy,
Speaker 5: like it's got all these bristles and many little like
Speaker 5: segments and weird, very weird, big mouth. It's a little
Speaker 5: horrible looking.
Speaker 1: Yeah. A lot of the ship when you get down
Speaker 1: to that level, is like truly that you can just
Speaker 1: copy any horror movie monsters from like what's happening at
Speaker 1: achroscopic level? Good just is the scariest thing you've ever seen.
Speaker 1: Just the size of a buffalo. We would all be fucked.
Speaker 5: All yeah, if we were that tiny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 5: Well, this is sort of a specific message directly for
Speaker 5: my dog. It's that my shoulders. My dog does love
Speaker 5: this show more than she loves me, I think, But
Speaker 5: she during a thunderstorm, she does get on my shoulders
Speaker 5: every single time. And I don't know what to tell her,
Speaker 5: but being on my shoulders doesn't make the thunder any quieter.
Speaker 5: And she scratches me with her little paws, which I
Speaker 5: know her paws have been in pp and doo dooo
Speaker 5: because I've seen it. And so she gets up there,
Speaker 5: she scratches me with her little peepee doodoo. Pause, and
Speaker 5: she's still scared. So what she'll do is she'll get
Speaker 5: back down off my shoulders and then get back on
Speaker 5: them again. And I don't know what to tell her.
Speaker 5: It's not gonna it's not gonna stop the thunder.
Speaker 1: Well, that one didn't work. Let's try it again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't try hard enough.
Speaker 5: You didn't get on the shoulders hard enough, you didn't
Speaker 5: scratch my the skin on my neck good enough to
Speaker 5: make the thunderstop?
Speaker 1: And is your dog assize that you could like start
Speaker 1: walking around like wearing it perched on your shoulder or yes.
Speaker 5: The problem the problem with that if I did do that,
Speaker 5: she would dig her nails into my skin and potentially
Speaker 5: rip out my artery.
Speaker 4: But you know, like it.
Speaker 1: Fashion is painful. Sometimes we have to suffer for fashion.
Speaker 5: That is true. That is true, she is fashionable. I
Speaker 5: have I have pictures of me with her wrapped around
Speaker 5: my neck. Maybe I'll send that in as my photo
Speaker 5: for this episode.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like stealing the thunder of like parrot people
Speaker 1: and snake people by like wearing a dog wrapped your
Speaker 1: neck or on your shoulder. Oh yeah, is something you
Speaker 1: think is underrated?
Speaker 5: Twitter Blue, folks, it's so good. Yes, I mean, I
Speaker 5: just the thing is what's nice about Twitter Blue is
Speaker 5: that normally Surreen McKellen doesn't know I exist, But with
Speaker 5: Twitter Blue, I can tweet under his tweet and be
Speaker 5: like go woke, go broke laugh emoji. Yeah, and Bilbo
Speaker 5: Baggins more like Dildo Baggins and he has to look
Speaker 5: at it legally, he has to look at it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the law. How are you guys dealing with
Speaker 1: the loss of the blue the blue check is? I
Speaker 1: never had one?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Really, birds right probst.
Speaker 5: Prod rights Uh huh, never.
Speaker 1: Had nearly four hundred thousand followers, one of the most
Speaker 1: retweeted Twitter accounts of all time. They were just like,
Speaker 1: this isn't a real bird.
Speaker 5: I'm dragging you all back down to my level.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right naked, and now you're stuck on here
Speaker 1: with me, the writer of birds Rights technics.
Speaker 5: If you want a real underrated Uh, there's a really
Speaker 5: good way to reheat pizza using a pan. Has anyone
Speaker 5: done this one before? On the show?
Speaker 7: We have?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I once I learned it, I became
Speaker 1: insufferable to anybody reheating.
Speaker 5: From It's very good. Yeah, but you know, you know
Speaker 5: what it is. You put the pizza in the pan,
Speaker 5: and then you put a little bit of water in
Speaker 5: the pan, and you put the lid over the pan
Speaker 5: in it. Yeah, crisps the bottom makes the cheese smelty,
Speaker 5: really nice.
Speaker 1: I do thirty seconds without the water, just yeah, out
Speaker 1: in the open. What a little crazy I know. Oh wow, wait, Andrew,
Speaker 1: were you the one who taught us that reheating technique?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I maybe is that that's like something
Speaker 4: that you've I definitely do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think I'm pretty sure you were the
Speaker 1: originator in my mind of that heating technique.
Speaker 4: I mean, I just found it on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Actually it's a great site. I don't know what everybody's
Speaker 1: so mad about.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know the problem is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my my little edition is instead of putting a
Speaker 2: little foil because my Dutch oven lid is made by
Speaker 2: the same company as my cast hired pan lid, so
Speaker 2: you can just put one on top of the other,
Speaker 2: really really get like a little oven going.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you're the only one who's got a lid.
Speaker 4: That what people use.
Speaker 2: People use the I feel like every one thing I
Speaker 2: read is like put a little aluminum foil tent on it,
Speaker 2: and I don't know time or aluminum foil.
Speaker 1: For that the LED community.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm insulted. You don't think I have lids.
Speaker 4: No, I'm just saying people don't think. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I always I was no how about this. I was
Speaker 4: using foil for an absurdly long time. It was like checking, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: I don't just put a lid on this, right, These
Speaker 1: idiots don't know what it is, right, I should I
Speaker 1: should add this PM.
Speaker 5: About I'll tell you a thing about Leeds.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you a thing or two.
Speaker 1: I do all my Christmas shopping at Lyds every year.
Speaker 1: So yeah, my wife is a very lucky woman. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back. We're we're talking about never mind, you'll
Speaker 1: just have to put it together for yourself. We're talking
Speaker 1: about Tucker Carlson's what we're talking about. Tucky Carl's on
Speaker 1: his way out. We learned Monday morning. I think everybody
Speaker 1: was like, there's got to be more to this, and
Speaker 1: like he's like moving on to bigger and better things
Speaker 1: that are going to be soul extinguishing.
Speaker 5: I thought he was gonna do a Marvel movie.
Speaker 1: The next step. Yeah, or Andrew, you were saying maybe
Speaker 1: it maybe on the other.
Speaker 2: But my hope is he's gonna be announced as the
Speaker 2: star of the new Daily Wire Studios movie.
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe a Gina Corano joint.
Speaker 1: Who knows, Yeah, Gina Carano round com with Tuger Carlson.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just the see that woodness white people acting you
Speaker 4: could find I.
Speaker 1: Can actually see that losing a lot of money.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be like an aborted baby came back to Earth.
Speaker 5: But as an adult to Dragon, we could write.
Speaker 4: This now, we could we could get this outlined and
Speaker 4: set it off. The chat gpt by.
Speaker 1: The end of this episode, but it seemed like he
Speaker 1: was just fired like kind of without really putting a
Speaker 1: big plan in in place. They were just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be on his show tonight.
Speaker 5: Why he's I know, he ended his last show with like,
Speaker 5: I'll see you next week, so I don't think yeah,
Speaker 5: he didn't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So the timing is interesting just because they just
Speaker 1: settled that lawsuit with Dominion for like, you know, a
Speaker 1: long way towards a billion dollars. It was like seven
Speaker 1: hundred and something million dollars.
Speaker 6: It was.
Speaker 1: It was way up there, getting getting close to a bill,
Speaker 1: and so I don't know, it seems it seems like
Speaker 1: if Fox wanted to fire him, it would have made
Speaker 1: sense to do that during that process. So they like
Speaker 1: get credit from you know, the plaintiff, for the judge
Speaker 1: or whatever, like for you know, taking this seriously. So
Speaker 1: it's interesting that after they settled, they're like, and also,
Speaker 1: your ass is fired.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's because that makes me think
Speaker 5: it might not be the reason, right, because I think
Speaker 5: there are multiple Fox hosts who were sort of sighted
Speaker 5: in the dominion lawsuit that we're not fired. I mean,
Speaker 5: I don't. I feel like we're gonna learn more about
Speaker 5: this tomorrow or something.
Speaker 1: But sure by the time people can hear this episode, yeah,
Speaker 1: they'll have learned more than Yeah, but it's fun to
Speaker 1: spulate here in the past.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think we might not. I think, you know,
Speaker 7: like they're just gonna it's gona have the leak, right, Like, yeah,
Speaker 7: Kendall's gonna leak it. I think Kendall's probably gonna leak it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Kendall Jenner.
Speaker 1: No, Kendall Roy from a Succession, Yeah.
Speaker 2: There's there's so much more vivid to me. I can't
Speaker 2: remember who was a real life person.
Speaker 1: I know. It really feels well. Also, like, as you know,
Speaker 1: Succession is winding to it's like final episode, and it's
Speaker 1: been a pretty good season so far in my opinion,
Speaker 1: but like people seem to be really enjoying it and
Speaker 1: talking about it like an old fashioned HBO show, like
Speaker 1: they we have this news story drop Monday morning that like,
Speaker 1: the speculation is that he had said the wrong thing
Speaker 1: about the wrong Fox executive in the Dominion leaks, because
Speaker 1: there he was on Wax saying some wild shit like
Speaker 1: in the like he was on on Wax saying he
Speaker 1: hated Donald Trump, which that can't be good for his
Speaker 1: popularity with his bass. I don't know if it like
Speaker 1: affected his ratings or anything, but he I think what
Speaker 1: does matter is that he insulted the wrong the wrong executive,
Speaker 1: and that executive might have headed out for him.
Speaker 5: I just love, I love, I would love it so
Speaker 5: much if he was brought down just by the pettiest,
Speaker 5: pettiest thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think that's his version of events.
Speaker 1: I think he's basically like, yeah, they somebody didn't didn't
Speaker 1: like the tuck and had to you know, however, referred
Speaker 1: to himself and you know, tried to take me out.
Speaker 1: I like the version that what the Washington Post gave,
Speaker 1: which was the one that like kind of in the
Speaker 1: first way of the stories made the most sense that
Speaker 1: it was just, you know, he had said the wrong
Speaker 1: thing about the wrong executive. It still also sounds like
Speaker 1: what Tucker Carlson would be saying, Like if you asked
Speaker 1: him what happened, it would be an evil executive who
Speaker 1: like couldn't take his harsh truths fires. You know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just so wild because it's like, obviously this
Speaker 2: man is a colossal asshole every single second of the
Speaker 2: day in the world. Yeah, Like, would you be scared,
Speaker 2: offended or not like offended or by anything he said?
Speaker 2: I just don't like if you already art executive at
Speaker 2: Fox had choose to work with him, what what?
Speaker 4: Literally? What could he say that right?
Speaker 5: Blowing up the shared bathroom?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna be something like that.
Speaker 1: I mean some of the details from the leaks were
Speaker 1: that his show and like the writer's room for his show,
Speaker 1: which apparently there's a writer room writer's room for his
Speaker 1: show was like it was just like the first person anecdotes.
Speaker 1: It was like stuff that would have been deemed like
Speaker 1: sexual harassment in Mad Men like it. It was just
Speaker 1: like straightforward misogyny on a level that was like felt
Speaker 1: like they immediately after were like I can buy my
Speaker 1: way out of anything type.
Speaker 4: You know, I.
Speaker 5: Imagine that their writer's room is just two wheels and
Speaker 5: one with like nouns on it and another wheel like
Speaker 5: with like is woke is cancel culture? Those just two things.
Speaker 1: Invade Canada, Sure, fuck it, let's go with that. That
Speaker 1: was what his latest documentary was about, invading how we
Speaker 1: should invade and liberate Canada. But I mean there have
Speaker 1: been these moments like that. There have been moments where
Speaker 1: Fox didn't seem to have the courage of Tucker Carlson's.
Speaker 1: Like he had a head writer who is discovered to
Speaker 1: be like an openly racist troll on some internet forum
Speaker 1: and like that guy got fired like the day after
Speaker 1: was discovered or like tendered his resignation in a way
Speaker 1: that seemed like yeah, Carls, someone's like, you got to
Speaker 1: be out of here. So it's it's almost it's a year.
Speaker 4: And I agree with everything you said, but we can't
Speaker 4: have that smoke out there. Bro.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's like that's the ship you say on
Speaker 1: your show every night. Like, I don't know, it's so weird.
Speaker 1: They're like more careful behind the scenes.
Speaker 4: Then I think it's because they can be sued by
Speaker 4: employees behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I mean that makes sense. And also like
Speaker 1: they are creating content for an audience that they don't
Speaker 1: respect or you know, understand or agree with, and so
Speaker 1: they're just out there basically being like, come slap it up, piggies,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, of course I said that these people
Speaker 1: believe stupid shit. My viewers are idiots.
Speaker 5: I mean, it is brain poison. Like that guy. I'm
Speaker 5: sure you probably talked about this, but that guy that
Speaker 5: shot that poor kid through the door, yeah, because he
Speaker 5: was like, oh no, it's it's in Kansas.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like a black thirteen year old.
Speaker 1: Child going to pick up his sibling.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And he's like some eighty something white guy and
Speaker 5: he's like, oh, well, I listened to Fox News all
Speaker 5: day because I think it was like his grandson told
Speaker 5: the news like yeah, he's like listens to Fox News
Speaker 5: all the time, and he's a racist. He's just sitting
Speaker 5: there absorbing hate like during his entire waking hours. And
Speaker 5: so he's like, well, you know, I'm terrified of this
Speaker 5: child and I'm going to shoot him. And I don't
Speaker 5: you know, I don't necessarily buy that he was scared.
Speaker 5: I think it may have been you know, anger, rage
Speaker 5: or something just to like, you know, you're on my porch,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna shoot you. But yeah, these people are they're
Speaker 5: like it's not to say this guy was a nice
Speaker 5: guy before he started watching Fox News, but they just
Speaker 5: sit there consuming this like hate, like his brain poison.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The thing I think with the it's like they make
Speaker 2: this stuff, but like there's the problem is there's clearly
Speaker 2: a contingent at Fox News that believes their news right
Speaker 2: and like has some level of power.
Speaker 4: It's probably like a seventy thirty, but like I feel
Speaker 4: like it's just like from time to time they have
Speaker 4: to throw these people abode.
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's right. That seems like what's going.
Speaker 4: On this is like I mean, admittedly the biggest isn't
Speaker 4: this the biggest bone they have?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought he had the he had the largest viewership.
Speaker 1: I would love to hear you say that, but yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 5: Mean it could be with all the advertiser Boycott's his
Speaker 5: show is not the most profitable, but he's definitely got
Speaker 5: the largest viewership.
Speaker 2: It's all the carriage fees, by the way, Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: that's the thing. You got to tell your cable company,
Speaker 2: don't pay Fox don't pay more for Fox.
Speaker 5: News, right, because Fox has gone woke.
Speaker 1: That's right. Let him know, folks, I mean they they
Speaker 1: are getting it from that end, right as Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: oh ann or whatever the fuck is like Fox's Fox
Speaker 1: doesn't respect our president one in true prison. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I think that.
Speaker 2: It's also like like we'll see whether it's Tucker made
Speaker 2: Fox or Fox made Tucker, because I mean the thing is,
Speaker 2: you could put any racist person.
Speaker 4: In there and it will I'm sure, do fine, sure?
Speaker 1: I mean he was the replacement for Bill O'Reilly, right,
Speaker 1: And I remember a similar feeling when Bill O'Reilly was
Speaker 1: replaced and I was like, wow, like a giant has fallen,
Speaker 1: a giant in the world of racism. This is great
Speaker 1: news for all of us. And then just like a younger,
Speaker 1: smarter version of him.
Speaker 2: Or racist for sure is going to happen, and they
Speaker 2: will build this person up like as effortlessly.
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure.
Speaker 5: Who do you think is going to be the new tech?
Speaker 1: Oh man?
Speaker 4: I mean I feel like they haven't answered my audition tape,
Speaker 4: but I.
Speaker 1: Would have guessed. Yeah, I would have guessed either Andrew
Speaker 1: t obviously or Dan Bongino, but Dan Bonge like that
Speaker 1: was the person I was real scared of, like because
Speaker 1: he seemed just completely racist and was like had a
Speaker 1: huge podcast and seemed to like understand media somehow, and
Speaker 1: then they fired his ass on Friday, like he he
Speaker 1: was just like kind of an up and coming correspondent.
Speaker 1: So it does feel like maybe there is like something
Speaker 1: to that internal Fox We're actually a news company versus
Speaker 1: Fox WWE racism energy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the journal that we are at, real
Speaker 2: journalism clowns have the most power probably now than they
Speaker 2: ever have in like contemporary flight news. Not that it's
Speaker 2: the majority of the power, but I think they have
Speaker 2: as much power as they're ever going to have. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like see where they're they're gonna we're losing our credibility
Speaker 2: as a news organization and yeah, yeah, sure, I guess I.
Speaker 1: Do wonder if they're because there are pending lawsuits against
Speaker 1: o NN and Newsmax that I wonder if them being like, well,
Speaker 1: those people are going to be like bankrupted by the
Speaker 1: end of this year factored in because that like thinking
Speaker 1: as like a business person, they probably are like won't
Speaker 1: he just like go over there and take his viewers
Speaker 1: with him? So they must have some feeling that like
Speaker 1: those companies.
Speaker 2: Will like it's not their viewers, like people like it's
Speaker 2: like people's grandparents who literally don't know how to change
Speaker 2: the channel from.
Speaker 5: Fresh News exactly. They just I mean, it's it's burned
Speaker 5: into their screens, right, Like they turn on the TV,
Speaker 5: it's on Fox, and they just play it in the
Speaker 5: background all day. I don't think they're going to go
Speaker 5: online to try to like follow Tucker Carlson to wherever
Speaker 5: he's going. I think it's like such a passive just like, well,
Speaker 5: I turn on Fox News and that's what I do.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think they'll be upset that Tucker's gone,
Speaker 5: but I don't I don't see them like having the
Speaker 5: savvy to like well, I mean some of them of course,
Speaker 5: but a lot of them I think are just gonna
Speaker 5: they just have it on as background noise.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the replacement will be the same ship. I
Speaker 4: I'm want to put my money in. I won't know
Speaker 4: what odds I could get for Joe Rogan.
Speaker 1: Wow, I mean, he would he want to do it?
Speaker 2: It would be it.
Speaker 4: Would be a pay cut and he'd need a carve
Speaker 4: out for his broadcast. But I think I think the uh,
Speaker 4: that time.
Speaker 2: Slot is not very hard it's it's got to be
Speaker 2: some of the easiest, it's the most lucrative per hour
Speaker 2: work you could do on Earth.
Speaker 1: I got it.
Speaker 5: I would say Ben Shapiro, but I don't think he
Speaker 5: would play well with the older generation. He's he's too
Speaker 5: much of a little boy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's I think they would just be like, this
Speaker 1: guy's annoying. Yeah, that is a detail that I assumed
Speaker 1: was from reality. But the the chiron for Fox being
Speaker 1: like burned into the screen of because Succession like mentioned
Speaker 1: that as a talking point a season or two ago,
Speaker 1: and apparently that's real, Like that happens all the time.
Speaker 1: I guess, Charlie Kirk, like, these are all people who
Speaker 1: are Internet famous. It's probably like one of those things
Speaker 1: where you know, a movie Snakes on a Plane is
Speaker 1: like a big deal on the Internet, and then it
Speaker 1: comes out and like actually watch it in theaters. Like
Speaker 1: I'm leaning towards all these people who are like internet famous,
Speaker 1: and then they'll probably pick somebody who has like good
Speaker 1: news anchor fundamentals for a bunch of like bullshit reasons
Speaker 1: that yeah, it's.
Speaker 4: Gonna be it's gonna be a local Fox newsperson or
Speaker 4: like a fifty seven year old Wall Street Journal editor, Like.
Speaker 5: Maybe it's just like some shit you've never heard of,
Speaker 5: like Cannedy will take his slot and someone's gonna take
Speaker 5: Hannity's slot.
Speaker 4: That's true. Everyone moves up long left the King.
Speaker 1: Wait, was Hannity not the most key time slot? I
Speaker 1: assume Hannity was the best time slot?
Speaker 4: Is he Fox News schedule?
Speaker 1: I do know Tuger Carlson's ratings were the highest.
Speaker 5: That did that auto complete for you? Andrew?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, no, I was doing a bookmark, not it?
Speaker 1: What the Fox have to say about this?
Speaker 4: Oh wow? It literally yeah, eight pm is just blank
Speaker 4: right now?
Speaker 1: Whoops?
Speaker 2: Oh boy, it's it's actually just an hour of like
Speaker 2: commercials for like gold and like you know, fucking like
Speaker 2: anti woke guns.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just keep rerunning Birth of a Nation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, it's gonna be something worse though. Whatever
Speaker 2: they're like, somehow temper temper your celebrations because this a
Speaker 2: thousand percent is going to end up worse.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean I would say someone like Michael Knowles, but
Speaker 5: I feel like he's too nakedly genocidal.
Speaker 1: That's what I've thought that before about plenty of right
Speaker 1: wing people that Fox.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no bottom. There's no bottom.
Speaker 1: Well, because the thing, like the ecosystem for Fox News
Speaker 1: is truly like things that happen on the like in
Speaker 1: Nazi forums or on like right wing talk radio, like
Speaker 1: bubble up and then make their way there and then
Speaker 1: they sort of.
Speaker 5: They dog whistle it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like how BuzzFeed used to work with Reddit,
Speaker 1: where they would just like buzzfeeds just like a repackaging
Speaker 1: system for Reddit stuff.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I could see some them going with someone
Speaker 1: who's like got more rate, like started on radio.
Speaker 4: Or something like that.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's like storm Front kind of goes through
Speaker 5: a sewage treatment plant and then it's still sewage, but
Speaker 5: it's not quite as raw as it was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and filtered.
Speaker 2: It's truly it's a copy editor. The copy editor on
Speaker 2: the various Nazi screens they found today.
Speaker 5: Yes, right, wonderful, Like can we replace the Jews with bankers?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that find and replace Jews and bankers?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, all right, let's take a quick break. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back and we're back and all right, so
Speaker 1: the check mark Twitter blue. The drama continues. Somehow got
Speaker 1: like even stupid over the weekend, they awarded a gold
Speaker 1: Verification badge, which they try to like make companies pay
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars per month for. So they gave the
Speaker 1: gold Verification badge to Disney Junior. Unfortunately it was a
Speaker 1: parody account, which they would have known if they just
Speaker 1: like did the very basic thing that every all of
Speaker 1: us do on Twitter now where you go back and
Speaker 1: like look twenty posts deep to make sure that they
Speaker 1: are who they say they are. You can tell they
Speaker 1: published racial slurs and claimed that South Park and Family
Speaker 1: Guy were headed to Disney Junior UK. So presumably they
Speaker 1: gave the gold check Mark gold verification badge to an
Speaker 1: eleven year old.
Speaker 4: It sounds like.
Speaker 1: It would be so tight.
Speaker 5: They don't have any employees left as far as I
Speaker 5: can tell, Like there's nobody left working at Twitter. So
Speaker 5: it's just like Elon and someone he's holding hostage, Yeah,
Speaker 5: doing everything.
Speaker 4: Well, a bunch of like visas being helped, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: The other thing would I actually do to figure out
Speaker 4: if someone quickly you can just scroll down to the
Speaker 4: like recommended when you go to someone's profile and it's
Speaker 4: like so.
Speaker 2: Clear whether there or not. Like the Nazis, you know,
Speaker 2: love following each other. So it's just like immediately you
Speaker 2: can figure it out. That's very very that part of
Speaker 2: the AI works great.
Speaker 1: He has managed to not fuck that one up the
Speaker 1: presumably eleven year old who runs the fake because who
Speaker 1: would create a fake Disney Junior Perry account like that?
Speaker 1: I feel like there aren't that many adults who are
Speaker 1: interested in that. We're the ones who are worried about.
Speaker 1: But anyways, when they received the gold verification badge, they tweeted,
Speaker 1: no fucking way, this isn't actually real, right, what a mess?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 1: No way you do?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 2: Like crypto people. Yeah, who has a thousand bucks a
Speaker 2: month for this joke? I guess it's someone who got
Speaker 2: in it.
Speaker 5: Well, no, I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't think he paid.
Speaker 1: I think he just got think Disney Disney probably paid,
Speaker 1: and then they gave it to the parody account.
Speaker 5: No, I think like they're just well I think what
Speaker 5: they might be doing is just giving it to some
Speaker 5: accounts people. Right, not enough people are buying it, and
Speaker 5: so not enough people are buying the blue checks, so
Speaker 5: they're forcing the blue checks on big popular accounts like
Speaker 5: Ian McKellen. But I think also not enough organizations are
Speaker 5: buying the gold and so they're probably like trying to
Speaker 5: force it on organizations to make it seem more popular.
Speaker 5: But unfortunately they did like put it on the Disney
Speaker 5: Junior fake account. They talked about.
Speaker 1: Like south Park, that would be so tight if it
Speaker 1: was on Disney.
Speaker 5: Can you imagine Cartman, but he's on Disney. Yeah, let
Speaker 5: me say those words, but I'd like to hear them
Speaker 5: on Disney.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that that was the other big strategy they
Speaker 1: took this weekend. After doing the purge of the like
Speaker 1: you know, verification blue check marks at the end of
Speaker 1: last week, they then realized nobody was left who had
Speaker 1: blue check marks, and then they started giving them back
Speaker 1: to people with more than a million followers, just automatically.
Speaker 1: And like you said, Katie, their strategy seems to be
Speaker 1: to pretend that these people paid for it, because when
Speaker 1: they gave it back, the blue check mark things that
Speaker 1: this account is verified because they are subscribers to Twitter
Speaker 1: Blue and the verify and verify their phone number.
Speaker 4: I mean, it seems like they're openly stating that people
Speaker 4: paid for things that they didn't pay for.
Speaker 5: Yeah, which, yeah, I think multiple will have pointed out
Speaker 5: that that might be illegal because you're faking a celebrity endorsement.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Chadwick Boseman apparently paid for this, Kobe Bryant,
Speaker 1: Anthony Board, Dave La Yeah, yeah, over the weekend, they
Speaker 1: all paid for it. That's wild. And also it's just
Speaker 1: I mean, they just broke the one thing that like
Speaker 1: worked about Twitter, and now they're like putting just various
Speaker 1: worse versions of it, like that just a blue check
Speaker 1: mark that cannotes if people have a million followers is
Speaker 1: so since since that's information you can find with a
Speaker 1: single click already, Like it's just so stupid and half
Speaker 1: assed and poorly thought through.
Speaker 5: And well I think it's worse than that because I
Speaker 5: think it's in because like it's somewhat inconsistent. I think
Speaker 5: some accounts that have under a million followers have also
Speaker 5: gotten the blue check forsted on them, and sometimes it's
Speaker 5: used it's like sometimes it seems to be done as retribution.
Speaker 5: So like yes, like Matt Binder got like a blue
Speaker 5: check after sort of reporting on the block the blue campaign.
Speaker 5: It looks like Wint, I mean, Wint has over a
Speaker 5: million followers, but this happened to him I think before
Speaker 5: the other accounts where he he's that he's the drill account. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and he got he got a blue check mark foisted
Speaker 5: on him, so he changed his handle to get rid
Speaker 5: of it, and then it got put back on his account,
Speaker 5: and then he changed his handle again to get rid
Speaker 5: of it, and then it got put back on his
Speaker 5: account again. Which it's I feel it's actually it's got
Speaker 5: to be elon clicking a button or telling one of
Speaker 5: the visa holders he's holding hostage to press a button
Speaker 5: over and over again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's really Listen, I will just say I do.
Speaker 2: I I feel like I've been endorsing blocking people that
Speaker 2: give money to Twitter for several years now.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I just it's I'm so glad.
Speaker 2: To see people getting on board with this practice because
Speaker 2: it is very gratifying and it's just like, you know,
Speaker 2: this weekend, I got like minor carpal tunnel from from
Speaker 2: like the block spree.
Speaker 4: But it was worth it. I feel great.
Speaker 5: I mean you kind of have to to make it
Speaker 5: usable because otherwise all the replies, because the blue check
Speaker 5: marks are get amplified in the reply, so you see
Speaker 5: those first. Otherwise all of the replies are just laugh
Speaker 5: cry emoji after laugh cry amenergy.
Speaker 4: It's so good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is like like watching them lose in the
Speaker 2: marketplace of ideas is so gratifying. You're like, oh, I'm
Speaker 2: paid to be at the front of the line to
Speaker 2: be just stupid and uninteresting.
Speaker 4: It's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so so many levels of a bad idea.
Speaker 1: Like it was a bad idea for him to devalue
Speaker 1: the you know, verification blue check by selling it, and
Speaker 1: then to then get rid of get rid of the
Speaker 1: verification check altogether, to completely devalue the value of the
Speaker 1: thing that he was trying to sell in the first place.
Speaker 1: And now his strategy is to like like punish people
Speaker 1: by giving them the thing that he claims is cool
Speaker 1: and is something you should want. Is it's really just
Speaker 1: galaxy bra I mean, this guy must be working on
Speaker 1: so many different levels.
Speaker 5: He's got to have a lot of rockets that don't explode.
Speaker 1: You guys, I'm gonna start asking this of like most
Speaker 1: of our guests, because I'm just curious to hear do
Speaker 1: you think he is an idiot? I am starting to
Speaker 1: suspect like I always had like this. I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, he's probably smart about some things. And then like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's just stretch, stretch, too thin. But like
Speaker 1: some of these people who claim he's a genius must
Speaker 1: like know what they're talking about, and like more and
Speaker 1: more now I'm just like, I think he might just
Speaker 1: be an idiot who was in the right place at
Speaker 1: the right time. Yeah, And you can't be the richest
Speaker 1: person in the world and be an idiot without everybody
Speaker 1: trying to cover up that fact because it puts the
Speaker 1: lie to the entire system that our civilization like rests on.
Speaker 1: So they all have to be like, he's a genius, folks,
Speaker 1: look at this car he didn't design.
Speaker 5: I think he has a very specific talent, which is
Speaker 5: marketing things to people who are kind of.
Speaker 4: Gullible and to like vcs right, Yes.
Speaker 5: Yes, absolutely, I think he is good at blowing smoke
Speaker 5: up the asses of other rich idiots. I think like
Speaker 5: he's good at I mean, he's good at sort of
Speaker 5: doing weed thoughts, like, man, what if AI, like we
Speaker 5: gave AI a perspective on the universe, then it won't
Speaker 5: ill us.
Speaker 1: But he gets all those from other places, like he
Speaker 1: just steals them from course, Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 5: Mean there are there's still so the thing is he
Speaker 5: steals dumb things from other places, which it's so, you know,
Speaker 5: the sort of cycle of stealing bad memes and reposting
Speaker 5: them as his own. But yeah, I mean I do.
Speaker 5: I don't think he's like he's certainly not a genius
Speaker 5: at anything. I don't think he's very smart at a
Speaker 5: lot of things. I think he's an idiot at a
Speaker 5: lot of other things. I mean, at humor, he's like
Speaker 5: the least funny person in the world. But I think
Speaker 5: like his talent is specifically marketing and being a salesman
Speaker 5: for kind of dumb rich people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's right.
Speaker 4: But it's like I think I don't know if he's unique.
Speaker 4: It's just that he had the sort of misfortune. It's
Speaker 4: obviously he's his life is fine, but like he had
Speaker 4: the misfortune of being this person during Internet times, like
Speaker 4: you know, Dale Carnegie, I'm sure was a fucking idiot too.
Speaker 4: It's just that like we didn't he didn't feel compelled
Speaker 4: to like tell us every single one of his thoughts
Speaker 4: unfiltered by an editor right constantly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Henry Ford was a literal anti semitic eugenesis.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, it's just like Elon Muskus is that Henry
Speaker 4: Ford didn't have Twitter.
Speaker 1: Right exactly. Yeah, yeah, he did put the anti Semitic
Speaker 1: Nazi propaganda in cars that he sold in the glove
Speaker 1: Box's pretty well, yeah that was his Twitter.
Speaker 4: He was like, here you go.
Speaker 5: But like celebrities are like they're so shamed by the
Speaker 5: blue check mark. They're giving anti endorsements, like they're saying,
Speaker 5: I did not pay for this shit. Please don't think
Speaker 5: I paid for this shit, even like, like I mentioned
Speaker 5: like Ian McKellen because he's like he tweeted like I
Speaker 5: didn't pay for this, and it's like it's so embarrassing.
Speaker 5: Even someone like Ian McKellan, who I can't imagine is
Speaker 5: like super like up to date with all the instans
Speaker 5: out ins and outs of Twitter, like one of his
Speaker 5: probably is pr People's like you gotta tell them that
Speaker 5: you didn't pay for this.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's truly a new level of marketing failure, like we've
Speaker 1: never seen anything. I guess social media like makes it
Speaker 1: possible for things to like backfire more significantly. But like
Speaker 1: to see someone have an idea going in, say what
Speaker 1: the idea is, have everyone tell them that isn't going
Speaker 1: to work, and then have it just like in a
Speaker 1: multi stage to disaster just not work in the exact
Speaker 1: way everybody predicted is pretty impressive.
Speaker 4: It's like, honestly, well because it's like and you read
Speaker 4: all these you know, elon stands like they I they
Speaker 4: think they genuinely thought that the blue check made Lebron
Speaker 4: James cool, Like I think for real think that, And
Speaker 4: it's like, do you not understand how like how is
Speaker 4: your directionality on this?
Speaker 1: So often it's crazy.
Speaker 5: I mean it's like Piers Morgan's scolding Stephen King for
Speaker 5: like not wanting to pay for Twitter given all the
Speaker 5: exposure that Twitter's given him. They don't. They don't. They
Speaker 5: fundamentally don't understand that celebrities being on Twitter don't benefit
Speaker 5: that much from Twitter.
Speaker 1: In fact, I would argue it's been bad for them
Speaker 1: to ruin any of them that we were like, oh,
Speaker 1: they're actually pretty smart and normal, and then they start
Speaker 1: talking politics and you're like, ooh no, buddy, yeah sorry,
Speaker 1: go ahead, Katie I interrupted, Oh no, no, it's.
Speaker 5: Just yeah, I mean it it's like they bring value
Speaker 5: to the website, right because people log in they want
Speaker 5: to see what, you know, what celebrities are posting, so
Speaker 5: you know, celebrities do it somewhat because maybe it gives
Speaker 5: them a little bit of marketing power.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: Personally, I think a lot of it is just you know, ego,
Speaker 5: because it's it's fun to talk to your fans, fun
Speaker 5: to feel loved on Twitter. Everyone likes to feel, you know,
Speaker 5: get the get the adrenaline rush of like, hey, lots
Speaker 5: of people liked my post. That's cool. But they're not
Speaker 5: financially benefiting that much from Twitter. Twitter was financially benefiting
Speaker 5: from the celebrities pulling in the audience, so then they
Speaker 5: could you know, look at ads and stuff. But also
Speaker 5: they're apparently think you making advertisers by the blue check
Speaker 5: or something. And someone pointed out that now that people
Speaker 5: are running scripts to block all the blue checks, like
Speaker 5: that will also block all advertisers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, That's what I've been doing anyway. So it's really
Speaker 4: my feet is It's nice, but it's well, it's the opposite,
Speaker 4: but in a better way. It is pure bottom of
Speaker 4: the barrel.
Speaker 2: Like I've got through any like, you know, blue chip advertiser,
Speaker 2: any like whatever, two three levels beyond that, and now
Speaker 2: it's just garbage and lunatics and it's you know, very hilarious.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder like the same way that Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is like jealous of all celebrities, and like I feel
Speaker 1: like that's the same place Elon Musk is coming from.
Speaker 1: Like so he is coming in with this sort of
Speaker 1: misguided idea of how celebrity works that is just like
Speaker 1: warped by him being like I'm actually like I should
Speaker 1: be the most famous one and like Iah and so
Speaker 1: it's I feel like that is how this massive blind
Speaker 1: spot and it's not making this possible.
Speaker 4: Listen, it's so eat.
Speaker 1: Listen.
Speaker 4: Billionaires obviously horrible people. But if you wanted to be
Speaker 4: a cool billionaire, all you have to do is pay
Speaker 4: cool people and fucking throw parties and whatever. You have
