1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Happy Birthday.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: Lord trend Passal, friend of the pod sends us great guests,

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: appreciate you. I'm Jack and I'm thrilled to be joined

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: by the writer of this show, Jam McNab's man. So much,

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: so much is happening, so much, um, so much is happening.

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: So much is not happening. Trump has not been arrested

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: as this recording. What we're AI. Yeah, people are making

8
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: some fun AI photoshops. I guess these used to just

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: be called photoshops, but now they have to use artificial

10
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: intelligence kids these days in my rate, but they're uh,

11
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, they're pretty convincing. There's there's one where

12
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: he's being like dragged away um by a bunch of

13
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: New York cops um, and he's like laying back on

14
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: the ground. And a good good tip for if you

15
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: want to be able to tell if something is a

16
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: bullshit AI thing is look at the legs. There's like

17
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: fourteen pairs of legs like don't match up to anybody

18
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: down below his Torso it's like Trump's being arrested for

19
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: being the thing exactly. And then there's another one where

20
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: he's running away from the police and they're like running

21
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: after him. But two problems. One, he like they they've

22
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: put him on the body of a much younger person

23
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: who can bend his knees. So it's just like he

24
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: looked like a person jogging, which I can't imagine. That's

25
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: that's happening a lot. It's Trump's head on the body

26
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: of Tom Cruise from the Firm, right. And then also

27
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: the cops chasing him appear to just be like jogging

28
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: in a race, like in they're they're part of a

29
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: five k that Trump is also participating him, and it's

30
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: just like a guy in a hoodie behind them. It's

31
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: just like hanging out. Yeah, who's that guy? Yeah, that's

32
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: a great question. He's just like, oh, man, look at that.

33
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: A nice job, robot. Come on, robot, you dumb robot. Anyways,

34
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: So that's that's how we're entertaining ourselves as a national

35
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: Internet as we wait for a thing that in retrospect,

36
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: it seems like he's the only one who said it

37
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: was going to happen. Yeah, it doesn't seem like the

38
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: best source when it's like the guy being investigated for

39
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: fraud is your source. Yeah, I'm gonna say it, Donald

40
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: Trump's a liar. There was also a protest, you know,

41
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: that was something that I think he called for. He

42
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: was like, I want to want to see people hit

43
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: the streets and save our democracy. And there was a

44
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: group of young Republicans out in the streets of New York.

45
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: And it seemed it might have seemed to you, a

46
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: non expert, non trained observer, that this was a small protest,

47
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: but it turns out that was by design. Oh yeah.

48
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: The person who organized it said, we weren't sure we

49
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: even wanted to come out because some people don't like us,

50
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: but we were here to show that there is support

51
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: for President Trump in the bluest areas in the country

52
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: here in Manhattan. And then later he was like, we

53
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: actually wanted to make it small, to be quote, low key,

54
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: a low key event, which the chill's been there before.

55
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: You know. We're like, no, no, no no, it's actually we

56
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 1: wanted it to be low key. That's why nobody came

57
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: to the party. Yeah, it's not like a it's like

58
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: a birthday party. Once you're over thirty, it's like you

59
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: just want, you know, chill out with just a couple

60
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: of friends, you know, yes, but I can't imagine that

61
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: Trump was was happy with this turnout. Well, there was

62
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: the opposite together at the last minute, the last twenty

63
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 1: four hours, said Gavin Wax. Gavin Wax, what a name

64
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: for a young Republican. At one point there was I

65
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: think outside Trump Tower it was like the opposite protest.

66
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: There was a bunch like some protesters showed up, but

67
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: they're all like calling for him to be arrested, right,

68
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: which I don't think was what he I mean, he

69
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 1: didn't specify what kind of protests you wanted to be fair. Um. Anyways,

70
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: well we'll all be waiting with bated breath for him

71
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: to be dragged out of mar Lago and you know,

72
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: whisked up to New York. I gotta say even that

73
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: counter protest or you know, not counter protest, but the

74
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: protest against Trump was also like quite small, like considering

75
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: the press, a former president is supposed to be arrested. Possibly,

76
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: it feels like this is a later season of a

77
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: show that's sort of run out of ideas. The Trump

78
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: presidency has jumped the shark. I think we can all

79
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: agree with that, right totally. Yeah, I mean they're circling

80
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: back to the Stormy Daniels story come on the question

81
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: of it is peanut butter liquid is circulating? It is.

82
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: It's joined the pantheon of food based philosophical queries like

83
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: is a hot dog a sandwich? Is cereal soup? And

84
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: that's not familiar with that one that sucks though no,

85
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: it's not quite. Obviously our twizzlers still Twizzlers without the twists.

86
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: Also not really a philosophical question but more of like

87
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: a branding thing. But this one is is peanut butter liquid?

88
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: And it came up because somebody was prevented from bringing

89
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: peanut butter onto a flight by the TSA, who was like,

90
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 1: we said no liquid, and they were like, it's peanut

91
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: butter though, so they posted to Instagram the TSA popped

92
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: on and whoever the TSA is like social media person

93
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: is apparently of the opinion like the TSA needs to

94
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: be cute, because they were like, yeah, actually it's a

95
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: liquid and then like had little fun things fun repartee

96
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: with people being like, aha, but what about jelly, which

97
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: was confused using to me because it's like, well, if

98
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: peanut butter is a liquid and jelly's obviously a liquid, right,

99
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 1: Like they're kind of similar. The TSA confirmed also a liquid,

100
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: but I don't know. Apparently this is what is known

101
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: as a non Newtonian liquid. According to superproducer Brian, he

102
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: turned to me onto the non Newtonian liquid, which is

103
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: something that one minute behaves like a solid, the next

104
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: it flows like a liquid. Non Newtonian fluids can switch

105
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: between a solid and liquid state depending on the forces

106
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: acting upon them, which then brought up the Great Molasses Flood,

107
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: which is just a wild story where a large storage

108
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: tank filled with two point three million US gallons of

109
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: molasses weighing approximately twelve thousand metric tons, burst and the

110
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: resultant wave of molasses rushed through the streets at thirty

111
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: five miles per hour, so like not that fast but

112
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: ended up killing when people injured. It's a slow something.

113
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: I can't think of something to compare it to. Yeah,

114
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: it's a car like on a suburban street that has

115
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: a stop sign. Like it's like, you know, you can

116
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: really you really have time to contemplate the very stupid

117
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: thing that's about to happen too. Why why has this

118
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: not been a movie like it was in Boston? Right? Yeah,

119
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: but where's the ben Affleck historical drama. I know he's

120
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: working his way up to it. It does feel like

121
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: one of those things that a movie should make just

122
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: so we could see what that looks like. Like James

123
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: Cameron should spend a decade just creating the three D

124
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: Molasses Flood movie just because it seems like it would

125
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: be very cool to watch that happen. But yeah, so

126
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,679
Speaker 1: it might as well build a story around it, I guess.

127
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean a horrible tragedy that then for

128
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: decades afterwards, the area still smelled like molasses anytime it

129
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: would get hot, which is like just a weird way

130
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: to be haunted by something by the sweet smell. Yeah,

131
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: which then led us to the I Survived series of books.

132
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: So this isn't really a trending episode so much as

133
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: a thing that was trending that led us down a

134
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: internet rabbit hole. Um, this is not something that was

135
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: around when I was young. But there is a book

136
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,679
Speaker 1: called the Superducer Victor found the I Survived the Great

137
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: Molasses Flood or the Great Molasses Wave of nineteen nineteen.

138
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: But there's also like I Survived nine to eleven. It's

139
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: just like a children's book where it's like like the

140
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: drawing on the cover reminds me of the Choose your

141
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: Own Adventure books totally, if if they had to choose

142
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: your own adventure book about nine to eleven. You know,

143
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: I misremembered it because I like, I didn't read these books,

144
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: but I remember like seeing the pop up online, and

145
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: at first, for a minute, I misremembered it as being

146
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: about like time travelers. I was like, these the same kids,

147
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: like just like going from disaster to disaster and surviving.

148
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: But no, they're all different characters, right. I guess in

149
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: my mind they were like teenage thrill seekers, just you know,

150
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: going to the most horrific parts of human history. But

151
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: there's like one one of them was like I survived

152
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: like the Nazis. Yeah, just the evasion of nineteen forty four,

153
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: which is like, I know, like nineteen people died in

154
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: the molasses thing. But like it seems like a pretty

155
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: wild swing to me to go from like molasses to

156
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: the Nazis. It's I don't know, yeah I get, but

157
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: I guess it's just things that are that kids are

158
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: interested in and like a way of like getting them

159
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: some sort of historical detail. I guess I'm glad that

160
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: they're learning about the Nazis from a book that I

161
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: don't know. I haven't read these books, but I would

162
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: imagine they are based not there, not like written by

163
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: white supremacists who are like and it actually wasn't that bad.

164
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: I survived the Nazis and it was you know, it

165
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: was fine, right, No, Yeah, I know, I'm sure. I'm

166
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: sure they're good books. They just I mean, they look

167
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: very extreme. I guess they're for older kids. Yeah, I'm

168
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: just gonna read you the description of I Survived the

169
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: Attacks of September eleventh, two thousand and one. I Survived

170
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: Number six. It's the sixth book in the series. The

171
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: only thing Lucas loves more than football is his uncle Benny,

172
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: his dad's best friend at the fire department where they

173
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: both work. Benny taught Lucas everything about football, So when

174
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: Lucas's parents decide the sport is too dangerous and he

175
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: needs to quit, Lucas has to talk to his biggest fan.

176
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: So the next morning, Lucas takes the train to the

177
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: city instead of the bus to school. It's a bright,

178
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 1: beautiful day in you. Yeah, so it's like just children's

179
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: book premise, and then nine to eleven happens Jesus. So

180
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: it's like nine to eleven like teaches him a lesson

181
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 1: about not cutting class. Yeah, Like I'm wondering how they

182
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: weave that all together. Well, it's like, do you remember

183
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: that Robert Pattinson movie? Yeah? I do remember it. Yeah, Yeah,

184
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: that's that should be the twist of every movie. I

185
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: think we should always pull out from every movie to

186
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: reveal that the character we've been following all along has

187
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: ended up on one of the top floors of the

188
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: World Trade Center and then like pulls out, does he

189
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: like pull out a newspaper or it's like another character

190
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: in the movie is in class and it's like an

191
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: intercut and then the teacher writes like nine to eleven

192
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: twenty two thousand and one on the board, and like

193
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: why did she write it like that? And then she

194
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: writes never forget, and yeah, what date it is? I

195
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: was thinking about nine to eleven today for some reason,

196
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: and I was thinking about remembering when I was walking

197
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: home from school on the street corner there were paper

198
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: boys on the street going extra extra, yeah, because they

199
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: had like the extra supplement for the paper because something

200
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: so major it happened that they had to print another newspaper.

201
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: They're going extra, and I remember being like, oh, I

202
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: never got that. That's what extra extra means. It's like

203
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: an extra newspaper. And then I had that thought, and

204
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: then I felt like am I a thousand years old?

205
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: Like I how do I have this memory of paper? Like?

206
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: Where did these paper boys come? Boozies on the street

207
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: corner saying extra extra? Yeah? And then the then Christian

208
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: Bale showed up and they did a full song and dance.

209
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: You were on your way to sing with your duop

210
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: group around a trash can fire. Yeah, it's that's that's wild.

211
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are listeners of this show who are

212
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: not at all surprised to hear that, because nine to

213
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: eleven is just like history, just like all all the

214
00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: other just just like World War Two. Yeah, yes, of course, newsies. Yeah,

215
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: that would be a funny historical period piece written by

216
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: a twelve year old. So it's just like mashing everything together.

217
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: It's like Hendricks was there playing for FDR and nine

218
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: to eleven happened. All right, let's take a quick break.

219
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. And we're back, and Alex Jones

220
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: is still hoarding his money he's saying things like, quote,

221
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm officially out of money. Personally, you will see that

222
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: Alex Jones has almost no cash. And then then like

223
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: is putting so he's like investing in a company that

224
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: his personal trainer just made up, declaring bankruptcy, transferring his

225
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: three million dollar home to his wife, buying a private

226
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: jet like that. So there's like some stuff like he's

227
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: giving the money away or like investing in a different thing.

228
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: But then like buying a private jet seems like the

229
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: sort of thing that the government should be able to

230
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: be Like, well, you can't do that. You're supposed like

231
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be giving all your money away. Yeah,

232
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: it's like I can't give the money. I can't pay

233
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: the money I own. It's all tied up in jets.

234
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: It's all tied up in these private jets I bought

235
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: for myself. They're like, well, it's good for the economy,

236
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean he's supposed to be in the whole,

237
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: like close to a billion dollars to the Sandy Hook parents,

238
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: and because of the way the country operates, apparently, it's

239
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: just you know, it's the greatest sin that can happen,

240
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: as like a company or a person not being able

241
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: to make money, you know, like making the survival of

242
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: a business is like the top priority, and so the

243
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: American bankruptcy system is making it possible for this garbage

244
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: human to just continue to pretend like he doesn't have money. Well,

245
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: you know, being the main person at a company that

246
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: makes seventy million dollars a year. Yeah, that's the frustrating thing.

247
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: It's working like this. I mean, it's like a shell

248
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: game with you know, private jets and mansions. That's so obvious.

249
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: It's like a shell game with no shells, Like everyone

250
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: can see what he's doing, and frustratingly, it seems to

251
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: be working, and no one knows if you know, the

252
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: victims families who are owed this money are actually going

253
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: to get paid. It's just ridiculous. Yeah, that's really frustrating.

254
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: His lawyers have claimed that Jones did not fully remember

255
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: where he holds bank accounts, nor how many trusts he

256
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: had set up over the past decade, and has no

257
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: idea about the whereabouts of his twenty twenty two W

258
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: two form documenting his wages, Like isn't that something the

259
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: government can find like dig up? I guess not. In

260
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: America where they make the tax system intentionally confusing. But

261
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: all right, and then this is kind of a story

262
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: like so Winnie the Pooh, Blood and Honey, the Winnie

263
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: the Pooh slasher movie was set to open in Hong

264
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: Kong and then pulled at the last second from theaters

265
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: for possibly political reasons. This of course ties to Shi

266
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: Jimping being very sensitive about his resemblance to Winnie the

267
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: Pooh and like that being a thing that people troll

268
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: him with is like images of Winnie the Pooh. I'm

269
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: very skeptical of the filmmaker behind the movie Winnie the Pooh,

270
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: Blood and Honey, and he seems to be the primary

271
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: source here. However, there is a detail in this story

272
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: that really blew my mind that like it seems like

273
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: you put the story together Jam and like it seems

274
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: like it's like a story after story where it's like

275
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: it could be that he's really sensitive about Winnie the Pooh,

276
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: or it might be this other thing. It could be

277
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 1: that he's really sensitive, or like there's this other explanation

278
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: that like made this movie not very popular, and like

279
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: they still let the books happen. But then there's the

280
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: release of the video game Kingdom Hearts Study, which you

281
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: know has Disney characters, and Winnie the Pooh is one

282
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: of the characters in the video game, and they just

283
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: replaced him with like it looks like they just haphazardly

284
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: used the erased tool like from photoshop on Winnie the Pooh,

285
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: but like not even his whole like his legs are

286
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: still poking out the bottom of this like amorphous white blob.

287
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: So that made me think, Okay, anything is possible, and

288
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: he probably is doing this because that is just so shameless,

289
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: like the removal of Winnie the Pooh from Kingdom Hearts three,

290
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: like in a way that just looks like he went

291
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: in himself and used the erased wool. Yeah, they couldn't

292
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: even like you know, copy and paste of like Roger

293
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: Rabbit or something. Just yeah, like you said, just avoid

294
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: of nothingness where the Pooh once was. Yeah, so I

295
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: don't know that that makes me think, I mean you

296
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: were pointing out like the movie is not very popular,

297
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: like the movie yeah as a four percent on Rotten Tomatoes,

298
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: and so it's entirely possible any failure of this movie

299
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 1: has to do with the fact that it sucks. Yeah,

300
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: well that's the thing, Like you said, it's the director

301
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: who's saying like, oh, there's something mysterious happening behind the scenes,

302
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: because they okayed this movie and they screened it once

303
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: and then they pulled it. And to me, it's like, oh,

304
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: that's very possible that's the case. But it's also like, well,

305
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: it could also be they screened it once, it was

306
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: awful and they canceled it. Hot. Yeah, I mean it

307
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: is a movie where like Piglet like runs over a

308
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: woman's head with a car, and like, yeah, Winnie the

309
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,959
Speaker 1: Pooh like whips Christopher Robin with eor's tail and stuff

310
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: like that. But you know, done with a budget of

311
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: gift cards from Starbucks. It's like very low budget. Yeah. No,

312
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: I haven't encountered anyone that liked it online. It seems

313
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: to be pretty universally panned. This movie seems like it's

314
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: the I think I talked about this before on the

315
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: show that like Corey doctro told this story about ordering

316
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: food from his local like favorite tie place, and like

317
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: when he made the order, the actual tipe place called

318
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: him and were like, you actually ordered that from like

319
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: a clone website that exists and is the number one

320
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: result on Google and they just put the order in

321
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: for you but charge you for like five extra dollars

322
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: per item, and right, so they're just like this way

323
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: that people are like artlessly finding ways to just wedge

324
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: themselves into other people's transactions to like make money like that.

325
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: That feels like what Winnie the Pooh, Blood and Honey is,

326
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: like somebody's just like figured out that he could make

327
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: a Winnie the Pooh movie like and just happened to

328
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: be such a compelling idea for people that it's now

329
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: a national news story. But yeah, well I think people

330
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: also like it. It's a funny idea, and I think

331
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: people are also like so frustrated with how Disney has

332
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: circumvented copyright laws, like they keep you know, extending the

333
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: making it like they up ended it for everybody, I think, right,

334
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: like they they had they actually wielded their power to

335
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: have it extended to a certain point. They keep getting

336
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: extensions from Mickey Mouse like they have used their power

337
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: to Yeah, exactly. So I think having this finally come

338
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: in public domain, having someone come in and do something

339
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: that seems contradictory, yeah, transgressive, and also like you know,

340
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: kind of opposes the sort of intellectual property hoarding that

341
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: that Disney's known for. Like, I think everyone wanted to

342
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: be on board with this movie. We're all rooting for you,

343
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: Winnie the Pooh, Blayney. Unfortunately us all down. You let

344
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: us all down. But the Kingdom Hearts three thing is unbelievable.

345
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that is amazing, just self ownage by

346
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: Shi jimping to just be like, yeah, you just can't

347
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: see how much he looked like me. Okay, so nothing

348
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: to see here. The funny thing about that story, too,

349
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: like looking it up, was that that whole thing about

350
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: Winnie the Pooh being banned by the Chinese government like

351
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: may have started about may have started as a joke

352
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: about how the government banned Winnie the Pooh, Like it

353
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: was like a screenshot of a government document that was

354
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: never verified, so it was like, you know, it may

355
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: have been just made by someone as a joke, but

356
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: then everyone latched onto the joke and the joke basically

357
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: just became real. Yeah, it seems like if the CIA

358
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: was good at their job, this is the sort of

359
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: thing that they would have done just to like troll him,

360
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, But I would be surprised if they if

361
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: they had that level of like social media, wherewithal oh

362
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: definitely all right, well, Jam, such a pleasure of having
