Speaker 1: we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat
Speaker 1: by a professor, a podcast creator, the co host of
Speaker 1: the show Invisible Hate.

Speaker 3: ever had.
Speaker 4: All come on, now, come on, now, gotta show respect
Speaker 4: to professor as I'm doing well.

Speaker 3: about your New York experience. There's always someone you're an
Speaker 3: aiding in the corner out there in time.
Speaker 2: Squen, you know I missed.
Speaker 4: I think I think the NYPD is doing a good
Speaker 4: job of brutalizing people. Yeah, so to them, it.
Speaker 1: Might be the new home of public urine ache, because
Speaker 1: I'm seeing a lot of a lot of public urinache
Speaker 1: these days.
Speaker 3: We've always been here in Portland too.
Speaker 4: We always had that, you know, the weather's nice, you know,
Speaker 4: the peepies everywhere.
Speaker 3: Go outside for a peep We have a we have
Speaker 3: a lot of dog poop everywhere here in Portland. People
Speaker 3: don't don't seem to pick up after their dogs.
Speaker 4: We have that in l A too. It's kind of
Speaker 4: I'm also I see it on the concrete and I'm like,
Speaker 4: what the fuck, Like, I don't know why I'm getting
Speaker 4: angry at the dog. I'm like, you're just comfortable shitting
Speaker 4: on the concrete right next to the serviceable patch of
Speaker 4: grass or dirt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why.
Speaker 4: I'm like put myself in the perspective of the dog
Speaker 4: and like that's like and that's a bridge too far
Speaker 4: from me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: My dogs would only go when we lived in New York.
Speaker 1: They would only go as we were crossing the street.
Speaker 1: I think it does a like just as a test
Speaker 1: of my metal there, right, they just as I got more,
Speaker 1: like the moment that I would want them to take
Speaker 1: a ship the least is when they decided to take
Speaker 1: a ship.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the red hand is blinking and in
Speaker 1: the now three two, here we go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so wait, what did you do? Did you like
Speaker 4: in a panic, like try and clean it up? Or
Speaker 4: you oh yeah, I was like catching it with.
Speaker 1: The bag like wow, likeing wave into the cars, like,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, you know, Oh no, I know that's
Speaker 1: a very high stress event for you. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: like to fuck anyone's day up.
Speaker 4: I'm getting secondhand stress from that too. Yeah, exactly what
Speaker 4: is something from your search history?
Speaker 5: Oh man, I'm gonna I'm gonna reveal myself and my
Speaker 5: like weird interests. I'm fascinated with subcultures.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 5: In some cases it's like the joy of seeing, like
Speaker 5: go human go, kind of like witnessing, you know, the
Speaker 5: beauty of what's out there. But other times it's because
Speaker 5: I want to see what like God's up to, you know,
Speaker 5: like what kind of hell hath he rot? And I
Speaker 5: saw on Twitter the concept of like you know, it's
Speaker 5: been around for many years, the concept of the like
Speaker 5: the rising grind bros kind of like like nft zelots
Speaker 5: who discuss how to reach success, and that really fascinated me,
Speaker 5: which leads me to a recent search I did maybe
Speaker 5: a week ago, which was an entrepreneur TikTok compilation.
Speaker 2: Oh no, no God.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I want to see as many as possible,
Speaker 5: and frankly, like I love it. These are people like
Speaker 5: you tell you like how to make like twelve thousand
Speaker 5: dollars in a month making like an Amazon reseller business
Speaker 5: or like investing in seeds or some nonsense. And there's
Speaker 5: a strange, eerie magnetism to them. They kind of have
Speaker 5: this dreadful seriousness and like they act way too familiar
Speaker 5: with you, and they play like, I don't know, like
Speaker 5: the soundtrack to the Secret Life of Walter Midi over it.
Speaker 5: It's like, frankly haunting. And they all have like the
Speaker 5: same eyes, like they see past you and it's all
Speaker 5: arithmetic to them, Like these robots have one tone and
Speaker 5: it's like I'm the wisest person to walk on the earth.
Speaker 5: And I love it, like the delusion, the solipsistic kind
Speaker 5: of performance of it all. I mean, there's probably loads
Speaker 5: of wisdom than anyone puppeting, you know, just like goodwill
Speaker 5: or soundbye, wisdom can stumble upon. But like frankly, you know,
Speaker 5: it's all it's all rigged anyway, and it's like you're
Speaker 5: not really doing anything. And I just love to see
Speaker 5: as many of those people as possible.
Speaker 2: So that's kind of like.
Speaker 5: How I spend my time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's because.
Speaker 7: About how to get how to get that lamba.
Speaker 3: That's funny dude.
Speaker 4: Hey, when I look at you, I don't see it
Speaker 4: in your eyes, you know what I like, I don't.
Speaker 4: I can tell that you go to sleep probably like
Speaker 4: maybe seven hours a night, which is basically like loser shit,
Speaker 4: you know what I know. Like I'm about two thirty,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, And I'm looking at the
Speaker 4: like every stock market on earth, and the look that
Speaker 4: you see in my eye is actually the lambeau that's
Speaker 4: about to manifest.
Speaker 2: That's what you're seeing, shark shaped lambeau. I love.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they all just want to sell their companies too.
Speaker 4: It's like and then this is how you get the valuation.
Speaker 4: Then you sell your company Like okay, sure, like if
Speaker 4: that's what you think.
Speaker 2: But like it's that guy.
Speaker 7: It's like that guy the five hour work week.
Speaker 1: This was like the I remember like the first example
Speaker 1: of this where it's like guy who's like I'm all
Speaker 1: about this like lifestyle and like you know, how great
Speaker 1: my life, yeah, Tim Ferris, and like how great my
Speaker 1: life is, and like you two can have this. But
Speaker 1: then like the thing he was like doing was just
Speaker 1: like selling bullshit to people and like making other people
Speaker 1: do the work for him. Yeah, and it was like
Speaker 1: there there was just nothing there. There's he I think
Speaker 1: no good being produced other than his five hour work week.
Speaker 4: I feel like he may have actually been the originator
Speaker 4: of like how to get to Lambeau culture, because I
Speaker 4: believe in the four Hour, five hour work Week book
Speaker 4: he talks about this is how I can have a Lamborghini.
Speaker 4: He's like, these are the payments, this is what I'm
Speaker 4: making every month plus this that's Lambeau money boom. Like
Speaker 4: problem solved, Lambo Boom onto the next Lambeau sell yank
Speaker 4: supplements online.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 4: Supplements. That was like his early early business, and then
Speaker 4: it went into like the four Hour Body and then
Speaker 4: it started getting a little wacky when he's like, these
Speaker 4: kettlebells can put a butt on an Asian chick. Was
Speaker 4: like one of the things, one of the parts like
Speaker 4: was how it was written about like this, Like I
Speaker 4: believe it was like a woman struggling to have a
Speaker 4: butt and he's like, yeah, but these kettlebell swings gave
Speaker 4: her that pop. So everything, I'm like, I can sew
Speaker 4: you fucking anything. You want to butt, you want a Lambeau,
Speaker 4: you want biceps, bro, It's all here.
Speaker 1: What did these guys used to be like were they
Speaker 1: in the eighties, were they just all like working on
Speaker 1: Wall Street?
Speaker 2: Or were they just like local salesmen they just did sales.
Speaker 8: I think answers spiraled out, yeah right right, but like
Speaker 8: what because they've replaced some job with just bull like nothing, right,
Speaker 8: what do they like?
Speaker 1: It seems like they're all in some version of a
Speaker 1: like multi level marketing scheme.
Speaker 2: That's exactly right.
Speaker 5: I mean, so what go back to nineteen eighty four
Speaker 5: and whatever was going on there? You know, computers are
Speaker 5: in the next thing, you know what worked out?
Speaker 4: Like I think these like fucking gurus, like you know,
Speaker 4: that's the other like genre of like what this kind
Speaker 4: of person is. They call themselves gurus, and like they
Speaker 4: just charge you a ton of money for advice that
Speaker 4: fucking goes nowhere. They're basically I feel like the kids
Speaker 4: of people who were like whose parents are listening to
Speaker 4: like person all power in the eighties right right right?
Speaker 4: You know and like early uh what's his face gigantic
Speaker 4: guy talk Tony Robbins, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, booah, like with the bag you're around that as
Speaker 1: a kid, eighteen tapes and a big like plastic container.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like those Disney like the old Disney vhs, because
Speaker 4: like that were like sort of semi padded plastic cases.
Speaker 4: I only know this because I remember my dad bought.
Speaker 2: One of them.
Speaker 4: I was like, what is this ship? And I was like, okay,
Speaker 4: maybe this will say Steven Kobe like the Seven Habits
Speaker 4: of highly effective people, Like I feel like they were
Speaker 4: all driving around in their trans ams listening to that
Speaker 4: shit maybe yeah reading Leyah Coca.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: You know now that they're able to influence each other
Speaker 1: and we're just getting better and better as a society,
Speaker 1: I think is the is the upshot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And they've they've stumbled upon a really yeah, really
Speaker 4: intoxicating offer, which is sort of like you don't have
Speaker 4: like toil in your own way to have like everything
Speaker 4: you want, Like don't do it out because everyone's like
Speaker 4: I don't want to go to a job or do
Speaker 4: this or That's like, yeah, do it for yourself, bro,
Speaker 4: and get all the things I actually don't have, but
Speaker 4: I'm renting for the purpose of this TikTok video exactly exactly.
Speaker 7: They all have like one piece of good advice, which
Speaker 7: is like get up and make your bed.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it always it's always starting there and people try
Speaker 8: that and they're like, I actually do feel like a
Speaker 8: little bit better when like I just kind of, you know,
Speaker 8: get up.
Speaker 7: And engage, take a shower and yeah, engagement.
Speaker 5: Maybe I should give to this guy's Patreon.
Speaker 1: This guy seems like he might be like on the
Speaker 1: next level. That was that one was for free. He said,
Speaker 1: for sixty bucks a week, I'll become a millionaire. I
Speaker 1: can't even imagine what he'd tell me. Yeah, what's something
Speaker 1: I'll think is overrated?
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, I got this one. I don't know. I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 9: Maybe your audience is like cinophiles and I'm fucking myself
Speaker 9: and everyone's gonna but I find, you know, like cit
Speaker 9: and Sound, pole top movie I finally watched in the
Speaker 9: Mood for Love.
Speaker 2: Are you guys familiar with this movie? In the Mood
Speaker 2: for Love?
Speaker 9: No, it's considered one of the greatest films of all time,
Speaker 9: Like it topped the like cit and Sound like a
Speaker 9: tour you know, List twenty twelve. I think like it's
Speaker 9: always in the mix, like Letterbox people are always talking
Speaker 9: about In the Mood for Love is like, actually this
Speaker 9: is the greatest film.
Speaker 2: Oh this is the one car?
Speaker 9: Why Car why Yeah, one car, why in And this
Speaker 9: movie is horribly overrated. It's like the thing is, it
Speaker 9: is beautiful and there's like the hallway thing with the music,
Speaker 9: like if you've seen it or know it, like that
Speaker 9: is great, but the whole movie is just about two
Speaker 9: people who should fuck and then they don't fuck, and
Speaker 9: that's the whole thing. And you're just like, oh, these
Speaker 9: guys should fuck. You're like, this is overly romanticized.
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 9: It's like these two people whose partners cheat on on
Speaker 9: them with each other and then they fall in love
Speaker 9: and then it's like, okay, yeah, so you guys can
Speaker 9: do it too.
Speaker 2: You should fuck, but they don't.
Speaker 10: And it's so interesting. You bring this up, Matt, because
Speaker 10: I live with my sister. She's you know, the audience
Speaker 10: is familiar with her Joel moo Nique, amazing film critic,
Speaker 10: so it's kind of hard to have an argument with
Speaker 10: her about this stuff. So generally I come from a
Speaker 10: place of curiosity. I'm like, why is this or why
Speaker 10: does this happen? She was watching some melo dramatic thing
Speaker 10: the other day and I had the same thing. I
Speaker 10: was like, this was an eight minute conversation about whether
Speaker 10: they love each other or not. And I'm like, already
Speaker 10: four steps ahead. I'm like, just get to it, you
Speaker 10: know what i mean. And she was like yeah, and
Speaker 10: she was like, you're missing the point of melo drama.
Speaker 10: It's like almost kissing is like the hottest thing, you know,
Speaker 10: not like not quite getting there. And I was like,
Speaker 10: all right, you know, I it's not for me, but
Speaker 10: like I'm I'm trying to appreciate the art form a
Speaker 10: little slow the slow burn.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, will they want but then you got to
Speaker 9: get to the burn, got to the fire, yeah yeah, yeah, come.
Speaker 2: On, And it's just like why didn't they Why why
Speaker 2: didn't you fuck? Like you could have fucked. They could
Speaker 2: have fucked a bunch of times, and then they don't.
Speaker 2: Well it's not.
Speaker 9: Really like it just doesn't. I didn't believe the reason
Speaker 9: why they didn't fuck, because people fuck.
Speaker 2: That's the thing. The thing I know about people is
Speaker 2: that when they want to fuck, they fuck.
Speaker 11: It's okay to spoil its for me. What what was
Speaker 11: the reason for not fucking?
Speaker 2: There's no reasonse.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I get it because like for those people,
Speaker 4: it's like it's like emotional edging.
Speaker 12: Yeah, You're like oh, some of us are Neanderthals, you know,
Speaker 12: pro magneum man where we're like just through the bang
Speaker 12: or not.
Speaker 11: Yeah, though they never actually kissed, they would withhold. They
Speaker 11: were really good at it. Yeah, as their thing.
Speaker 4: They invented edging. Yeaheah. They invented edging as the first
Speaker 4: form of birth control. People don't know that. People really
Speaker 4: they died off.
Speaker 11: They didn't appro crag because they just thought they were
Speaker 11: just so big on edging.
Speaker 2: It was makes sense, that's science. That's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. All right, Well, cool, I like
Speaker 4: to I'm glad to know, like sometimes like there are
Speaker 4: those there are those films, and I like, I like movies,
Speaker 4: but not to the point where like I can connect
Speaker 4: with sort of those kinds of films.
Speaker 2: And that's just me as a consumer.
Speaker 4: I'm I'm more of a mouth agape airplane guy whom
Speaker 4: you views shit like that.
Speaker 2: Sometimes. Yeah, no, pious movies.
Speaker 9: I loved bo Is Afraid for example, that just came out,
Speaker 9: was divisive, incredible film, Like I like that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: This one didn't do it. My wife was asleep like
Speaker 2: halfway in, and I was like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought there was a time too, like in
Speaker 4: like the early ots were like all my friends who
Speaker 4: are like, you know, big cinephiles, like like Wankar, Why
Speaker 4: was just like just beyond repro Like there's like they're like,
Speaker 4: don't fuck no, man, this motherfucker's a genius. Dude.
Speaker 2: Every dude reproach and approach him.
Speaker 4: Everything is good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, twenty forty six, I fucked
Speaker 2: with that. You know. I wasn't. I wasn't mad at
Speaker 2: was that good. I mean I remember at the time.
Speaker 4: I think I may have just said it because I
Speaker 4: was dating somebody who was like, you need to see
Speaker 4: this film, and I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I fuck
Speaker 4: with that. I have a bad habit of like being like, yeah,
Speaker 4: what do you like? Okay, I'll try that out.
Speaker 2: Even though I.
Speaker 4: Don't shout out Harry Potter films couldn't only get through one.
Speaker 5: What is uh?
Speaker 2: What's something you think is underrated?
Speaker 13: I'm so embarrassed to say this out loud. Birds. I
Speaker 13: fucking love to watch birds.
Speaker 2: Go off, bird queen, amazing birds here.
Speaker 1: I've heard of these things, but I actually haven't. So
Speaker 1: you're you've got a person who's underrating birds here. I've
Speaker 1: heard of them, but like, I don't know.
Speaker 7: They're little flying dinosaurs.
Speaker 13: They're little flying dinosaurs. How dare you?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: I yeah, they're reading, Uh what's the book that's about,
Speaker 1: like the evolution of how they became so beautiful?
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 13: Weirdly, I have like I rarely have an obsession with
Speaker 13: burbs and yet know nothing about them. Like made it
Speaker 13: a point.
Speaker 2: Much obsession with bbs.
Speaker 13: I need a T shirt that's as iheartbirds now, yes please? Anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 13: I like, I really like them. I like watching them,
Speaker 13: but I know almost nothing about them. Someone asked me, like,
Speaker 13: I had someone visiting the other day and I was like, oh, look,
Speaker 13: it's my favorite yellow bird. And they're like, you mean
Speaker 13: the blah blah blah. I'm like, I don't know what
Speaker 13: it's called. It's like yellow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know yellow bird.
Speaker 1: I don't know yellow I love birds, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I'm picturing that conversation happening around big bird.
Speaker 2: By the way.
Speaker 7: You're like I love yellow bird, and they're like big bird.
Speaker 2: You're like, I don't know the techno.
Speaker 4: Now whatever you call him, I'm not going to I'm
Speaker 4: not going to hit you with the binomial nomenclature here,
Speaker 4: but I believe it's just yellow bird.
Speaker 2: Ah damn.
Speaker 1: My Google search how Birds Got So Pretty? Did not
Speaker 1: does not bring up the book that I was thinking of.
Speaker 4: It's like the Birds Evolution The Evolution of Birds by
Speaker 4: Sarah Hills.
Speaker 2: How beauty is making science?
Speaker 4: The rise of birds.
Speaker 2: I'll figure it out by the end.
Speaker 7: But yeah, it's all about just.
Speaker 1: You know, they they started. It's been a steady arms
Speaker 1: race of like how to be most beautiful bird since
Speaker 1: they started evolving. And it's like, like.
Speaker 13: So humans won't kill them or is it some other.
Speaker 7: No, it's not like that's what I always assumed.
Speaker 1: It was like that there must be some you know,
Speaker 1: survival of the fittest, like kill or be killed thing
Speaker 1: to this, and it's just mating and trying to be
Speaker 1: the sexiest bird to other love it and it's all
Speaker 1: about Yeah, it's all about being hot. And that's also
Speaker 1: why their songs are so beautiful. It has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with us. They don't give a ship yet.
Speaker 13: I feel like you're just talking yourself into loving birds
Speaker 13: more right now.
Speaker 7: No, I actually I was playing playing character of guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah I love birds too.
Speaker 1: Against them, Yeah, it's the one like with the bower
Speaker 1: bird that like builds that immaculate like sex throne, sex best.
Speaker 1: The bower bird like builds like goes around, gets all
Speaker 1: these like shiny trinkets and different things like hey, like hey.
Speaker 4: Check this out.
Speaker 7: This is a check a plastic spoon. Like some of
Speaker 7: the dances, some of the mating dances.
Speaker 2: That they do.
Speaker 1: It's like four dudes will do a mating dance so
Speaker 1: that one of them can mate, and they are like elaborate.
Speaker 4: And that was my One of my favorite Planet Earth
Speaker 4: segments too, was on the one all the different birds
Speaker 4: and like how they were just all getting down and
Speaker 4: then just watching like the disinterested female be like just
Speaker 4: fly away, like.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: The Evolution of Beauty, How Darwin's forgotten theory of mate
Speaker 1: choice shapes the animal world and us by Richard oh
Speaker 1: prum Is Okay.
Speaker 4: Found even have birds in the title.
Speaker 2: It has birds. Yeah, Urbs Burbsburbs Burns.
Speaker 7: Well, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 2: We'll come back and talk about some news. My favorite
Speaker 2: Tom Hanks movie, The Burbs Burbs, and we're back. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so this was news to me.
Speaker 1: The Republicans have been working on some investigations eagerly anticipated investigations.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess, yeah, I guess it's not news.
Speaker 1: They're always like, oh, man, what about Hunter Biden? Laptop though? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what about Hunter Biden?
Speaker 2: What about?
Speaker 4: What about?
Speaker 2: What about?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, what about what else? What else?
Speaker 7: What about what?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: They took the mic at the open mic.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they took the mic at the open mic?
Speaker 2: Did that one our house? And they're like, uh, what
Speaker 2: about what about you guys? Does hot pockets a bit
Speaker 2: a lot?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like what they find, miles, what did they unearthed?
Speaker 4: We've heard the threats, you know, in the lead up
Speaker 4: to the midterms, and then after the midterms when they
Speaker 4: took control of the House, they're like, oh, just fucking
Speaker 4: weight because we're gonna bring the fucking hammer down on
Speaker 4: Joe Brandon And they said they're all kinds of reports
Speaker 4: and things about how he took money as VP and
Speaker 4: swayed foreign policy. The thing is, James Krmer of the
Speaker 4: Chairman of the Oversight Committee of Kentucky doesn't have shit,
Speaker 4: and he's doing the like investigation equivalent of when you
Speaker 4: try to rob a liquor store with a banana in
Speaker 4: your coat.
Speaker 14: Pocket, being like, I got that thing on me, don't
Speaker 14: beat and someone's like, man, get the fuck out of
Speaker 14: my store.
Speaker 2: And that's kind of what's happening right now.
Speaker 4: As the Republicans go on news, like people are like
Speaker 4: even their own media is like huh, but but what's
Speaker 4: the fucking evidence?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 4: Like I thought, you're gonna fucking embarrass this. They're saying
Speaker 4: stuff like this is going to end Joe Biden's presidency.
Speaker 4: So as he's been saying things like many people have
Speaker 4: been going around to Fox and you know, giving little interviews.
Speaker 4: He recently confused the fuck out of a few Fox
Speaker 4: News hosts when he said he had the goods but
Speaker 4: can't show anyone yet. And then our Senator Ron Johnson,
Speaker 4: he was on Maria Bartiromo's show and then this is
Speaker 4: what he said about like, well, like do you have evidence?
Speaker 4: He's like, yeah, I mean, here's the thing about evidence.
Speaker 1: The classic legal strategy of here's the thing about evidence, and.
Speaker 15: Money came from China and other adversarial countries, by the way,
Speaker 15: not just China, but going into these ll seas and
Speaker 15: then from there the money went from the LLCs to
Speaker 15: various Biden family members. What can you tell us about that?
Speaker 15: What were they getting paid for.
Speaker 16: Yeah, where the receivers again on the bank records. You're
Speaker 16: not going to see bribe to change this policy. You
Speaker 16: have to infer what's happening here, look at the bulk
Speaker 16: of the evidence. You have to file the money and realize,
Speaker 16: So what did this fighten family member do to earn
Speaker 16: that amount of money. I mean, that's what we did
Speaker 16: with Hunter, Biden and Ukraine.
Speaker 2: I mean what did I don't know if you cut that.
Speaker 4: He just said you have to infer what's happening here, right,
Speaker 4: and then at the end of it, he's like, you're
Speaker 4: not going to necessarily get hard proof. Is how he
Speaker 4: wraps up this very long winded sound by and Marina
Speaker 4: Marie Barbiromo's like, what the fuck? Man?
Speaker 2: Okay, Then.
Speaker 4: We have another one where Comber himself goes on Fox
Speaker 4: and Friends very friendly environment, and Steve Doocey's like, hey, man, like,
Speaker 4: you're laying this thing out about all these bribes and stuff.
Speaker 4: Where's can what the like but evidence? And here's again
Speaker 4: just this very dissatisfied Fox News.
Speaker 17: Host sources between twenty fifteen and twenty seventeen and your party,
Speaker 17: the Republican investigators say that that's proof of influence peddling
Speaker 17: by Hunter and James.
Speaker 2: But that's just your suggestion. You don't actually have any
Speaker 2: facts to that.
Speaker 17: To that point, you've got you've got some circumstantial evidence.
Speaker 17: And the other thing is, of all those names, the
Speaker 17: one person who didn't profit is so there's no evidence
Speaker 17: that Joe Biden did anything illegally.
Speaker 18: Well, if you look at the laptop and the emails
Speaker 18: between the president's son and his associates, they went to
Speaker 18: great links to hide Joe's involvement. They this like.
Speaker 4: Weird fucking merry go round has been happening for the
Speaker 4: last fucking week, where even they're like, what you're saying
Speaker 4: that shit's going on, but you're not showing us anything
Speaker 4: that's going on. And I just have to say, this
Speaker 4: is continues again, this is like never ending. Maria Bartiromo
Speaker 4: is like, hey, comer man, you gotta come with it.
Speaker 4: Like you're telling us about this, Where the fuck are
Speaker 4: these people? You said they've got people who are like
Speaker 4: can attest to this, you have whistleblowers and all this
Speaker 4: other shit. Where are they? And again, Uh, it's it's
Speaker 4: it's not a it's not a great not a great show.
Speaker 4: From James Comer.
Speaker 15: More important potentially here and that is this cover up.
Speaker 15: You have spoken with whistleblowers, You have spoken, you also
Speaker 15: spoke with an informant who gave you all of this information.
Speaker 15: Where is that informant today?
Speaker 19: Where are these whistleblowers?
Speaker 6: Well, unfortunately we can't track down the informant. We're a
Speaker 6: hope that the informant is still there. The whistleblower knows
Speaker 6: the informant. The whistle blower is very credible and all
Speaker 6: we're asking.
Speaker 2: The FBI.
Speaker 14: Now switched to oh, man, I don't know where the
Speaker 14: wist blower here, I should Oh, actually he's just going
Speaker 14: to the back.
Speaker 4: But they're incredible, so credible, And just lastly, just would
Speaker 4: have wrapped it because Marie Barberome was just like, hold on, bro,
Speaker 4: what you just said that the motherfucker's missing? Like what's
Speaker 4: going on? Then again, not a great answer, but it's
Speaker 4: fantastic just in the context of that this person probably
Speaker 4: doesn't exist.
Speaker 15: Hold on a second, Congressman, did you just say that
Speaker 15: the whistleblower or the informant is now missing.
Speaker 18: Well, we we're hopefully we could find the informant.
Speaker 2: Remember, these sliffs are are.
Speaker 18: Kind of in the spy business, so they don't make
Speaker 18: a habit of being seen a lot or being out
Speaker 18: profile or anything. The spy business have basic information with
Speaker 18: respect to.
Speaker 2: What the face, what is.
Speaker 6: That Joe Biden when he was all.
Speaker 20: Right anyway, So we've got to expect miles them to
Speaker 20: go on the hostile grounds of Fox News and stand
Speaker 20: up to the scrutiny that they always reserve for.
Speaker 2: Wait, no, actually that those are the soft pulse.
Speaker 1: He's taken big pauses like he's on delay, like he's
Speaker 1: coming to you from the Middle Easter or some fauri.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, they're in this spy business, so they don't
Speaker 4: really they're not really high profile. That's not relevant really,
Speaker 4: Like you're that's like asking like, well, who are these people?
Speaker 4: Then you can be like, they're not really high profile people,
Speaker 4: but to say like where are they and they're like, well,
Speaker 4: they're spies, so they don't really like hang out places. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's like what you're saying. So it's a very It's
Speaker 4: one of the shittiest diversionary tactics I've seen, because like,
Speaker 4: I mean, I think they're what they're really trying to do.
Speaker 4: They want they're running like the twenty fifteen sixteen playbook
Speaker 4: all over again, where they're trying to get like a
Speaker 4: year out, get some really good scandals to stick, like
Speaker 4: they would have with Hillary Clinton, but apparently they don't
Speaker 4: have misogyny on their side this time. And there's just
Speaker 4: I don't know, they're they're just they're scrambling now. And
Speaker 4: you have Marjorie Taylor Green who's like followed up that
Speaker 4: interview and is like, they're not missing, Actually we know
Speaker 4: where they are. And it's like, what the fu? Okay,
Speaker 4: sure you just.
Speaker 1: Didn't want to tell you that because my dad's actually
Speaker 1: a cop, right.
Speaker 2: And yeah, what.
Speaker 4: No, he's not.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Elon Musk named Linda Yakarino as the new CEO of Twitter.
Speaker 1: She is leaving her job as Chairman of Global Advertising
Speaker 1: Partnerships at NBC Universal. So this is she like, it
Speaker 1: seems like it's basically really focusing on ad support and
Speaker 1: like getting getting ads. He it doesn't feel like he
Speaker 1: hired somebody who is experienced with like being a CEO.
Speaker 1: It's more like he is going to continue to be
Speaker 1: the acting CEO, and he's like, we need some we
Speaker 1: need some ad sales support, so I hire someone the.
Speaker 4: Logic here of Elon Musk, Right, He's like, I've turned
Speaker 4: this into a hate speech powered hell site that's caused
Speaker 4: all advertisers to flee. It's not it's not. No, it
Speaker 4: surely can't be the lack of moderation and the racist
Speaker 4: free for all. It's that I don't have someone with
Speaker 4: all the advertiser connections. Yeah, I need so, of course
Speaker 4: you get somebody's going from a gigantic media conglomerate with
Speaker 4: all these ad relationships as a way to prop up
Speaker 4: your business when it's so clear why they fled.
Speaker 7: But please, Elon keep going. I'm sure she has a
Speaker 7: fantastic CV.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, it does seem like her politics might line up
Speaker 1: with his because she follows the Babylon b oh, which
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe she's just a fan of really great comedy,
Speaker 1: but you know that's the right wing, the onion. But
Speaker 1: like their jokes are just fucking transphobic garbage.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're not jokes. As a shiny Pi would say,
Speaker 4: it would be a misuse of words how I would
Speaker 4: describe that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, also follows the head of Libs of TikTok on Twitter. Oh,
Speaker 1: and she was part of Trump's council on sports, fitness
Speaker 1: and nutrition, although.
Speaker 2: She also worked who else was.
Speaker 1: Right, that's where I get all I get most of
Speaker 1: my nutrition and health and fitness advice from.
Speaker 3: CEO McDonald's was on there.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: But she also worked for the Biden administration, creating an
Speaker 1: advertising campaign for the COVID vaccinations starring the Pope.
Speaker 4: Oh oh wow, you know who is on that on
Speaker 4: that council, Bill Belichick? Hell really yeah, Yankees closer Mariano Rivera,
Speaker 4: Ozh Whobin Meyer and herschel Walker there yeah yeah, among men.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but because the new CEO espoused vaccines and masking
Speaker 1: and you know, social justice in the past and is
Speaker 1: a woman Elon musk famboys are melting down and ri
Speaker 1: i p. Twitter started trending at the end of last
Speaker 1: week when it was announced these people don't know anything
Speaker 1: about fucking anything.
Speaker 2: Really, all right?
Speaker 1: Okay, sure, you love to see it when they're when
Speaker 1: they're hateful politics like trap them, like come back to
Speaker 1: bite them in the ass. Like this reminds me of
Speaker 1: like when Gina Carano thing where she like self destructed
Speaker 1: her career for her like anti woke politics, went and
Speaker 1: made an action movie for the Daily Wire and like
Speaker 1: the Daily Wire fans were.
Speaker 2: Like, why would we ever watch this? It stars a.
Speaker 7: Woman doing action crap, No way, that's woke.
Speaker 2: Pull, that's woke.
Speaker 4: Bs man, I'd be like what h yeah, I mean
Speaker 4: it's uh that boomerang does does come back pretty quickly.
Speaker 4: I like how people are just like they just said,
Speaker 4: rip Twitter, you just appointed a brain dead comedy as CEO.
Speaker 4: I'll get this out there now, fuck Linda Yakarino and
Speaker 4: everybody else, and like really, really, yeah, this this person, Yeah,
Speaker 4: they're totally it's a communist, but they don't even know
Speaker 4: what communist is. It's someone who who believes in science
Speaker 4: I think at this point is a communist.
Speaker 3: And Elon is still going to be involved, right, Like
Speaker 3: he's going to be the CTO still or something like that.
Speaker 3: Is that is that what I heard?
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's still going to be the CEO, Like this
Speaker 7: is true.
Speaker 1: I think I feel like he's probably he was probably
Speaker 1: getting pressure from the board around, you know, his horrifying
Speaker 1: mishandling and like of every just doing a terrible job
Speaker 1: as the CEO of Twitter, and so he's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll name a CEO who will have no power and
Speaker 1: we'll just only be focused on getting ad sales back
Speaker 1: and then we'll fire her once they can't resuscitate ad sales, right, Like,
Speaker 1: I been.
Speaker 3: Three six months? How long do you should we make
Speaker 3: a prediction? Is it six months? Is it a year
Speaker 3: that that she's there before she's fired for not bringing
Speaker 3: the I mean.
Speaker 7: I mean, could her relationships actually get them to look
Speaker 7: past just how like garbage of a site Twitter is?
Speaker 2: Do you like, don't like? Is that logic really going
Speaker 2: to track with?
Speaker 4: Like, I mean, she's got relationships GM surely like she
Speaker 4: can get them to come back to the table. But
Speaker 4: I'm I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, for a lot of right wing media out there,
Speaker 3: there are advertisers that want to advertise on those platforms,
Speaker 3: and if Twitter continues to be this kind of cesspool
Speaker 3: of uh, you know, conservative, right wing racist thought, you
Speaker 3: know there is there are people that want to reach
Speaker 3: that audience unfortunately right and yeah.
Speaker 4: But they don't have I guess that's the difference is
Speaker 4: they don't have the spending power that would keep the
Speaker 4: website going like a General Motors would, because it's just
Speaker 4: going to be like some crypto scheme that you know,
Speaker 4: it's like about pillow company, Yeah, or like Pepe the
Speaker 4: Frog coin or some shit like that. But yeah, Linda
Speaker 4: Yakerino hard hard Row, I feel like companies are still
Speaker 4: a little to like go full full on board, like
Speaker 4: there is enough elon Musk, and like I'm sure like
Speaker 4: the CEOs of those companies, in.
Speaker 1: The privacy of their own right wing like Nazi memorabilia
Speaker 1: dungeons probably would would love to like openly come out
Speaker 1: and support of this sort of thing, but they recognize
Speaker 1: that it's not popular. But I am starting to feel,
Speaker 1: like we talked before about how like America was ripe
Speaker 1: for a nineteen eighties like Reaganite reversion, like popular culture
Speaker 1: like goes full bore right wing and like embraces a
Speaker 1: like Republican right wing president. I could see that, like
Speaker 1: things are starting to shape up in a direction where
Speaker 1: if it's Biden versus Trump, and like Trump seems to
Speaker 1: have a little bit more mental acuity than Biden does,
Speaker 1: Like I could see that being if Trump gets re elected.
Speaker 1: I could see that being the thing that all these
Speaker 1: CEOs are like, Okay, finally we can just like go
Speaker 1: full mask off, like this is what America wants. We all,
Speaker 1: like right are going to advertise with Elon Musk and like,
Speaker 1: get fully on.
Speaker 2: Board can always get worse.
Speaker 1: I guess it's my read on this. So yeah, Like,
Speaker 1: as much as it doesn't make sense in the current
Speaker 1: you know zeitgeist, for like Twitter to suddenly like be
Speaker 1: able to turn the ad sales around and like for
Speaker 1: GM to start like advertising on right wing platforms, I
Speaker 1: could see a future where that's the case and where
Speaker 1: everything just kind of turns in that direction because certainly
Speaker 1: the people who make the decisions at those companies like
Speaker 1: they are on board with that. They are they all
Speaker 1: in the privacy of their own you know, conversations with
Speaker 1: each other, are having the conversations where they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we need to like we need to stop being so woke.
Speaker 1: I'm sick of hearing about how I'm making too much money. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course I'm making more money than an entry level
Speaker 1: person like coming because I'm the CEO.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Do we think AMC is going to be advertising their
Speaker 3: new candy that they make on Twitter anytime soon?
Speaker 1: We'll see potentially potentially, I mean I might be averaging.
Speaker 2: I still have to taste test it. We'll see, we'll
Speaker 2: see how good it is.
Speaker 1: But yeah, another thing that we might be getting on
Speaker 1: Twitter is so, I guess this is something they tried
Speaker 1: before Twitter blue. Where so Twitter could become a dating app.
Speaker 1: According to noted relationship expert Elon Musk, he reportedly is
Speaker 1: considering adding a dating app feature to Twitter, just in
Speaker 1: case people were worried that it wasn't a hellish enough
Speaker 1: site already. And the idea stemmed from a tweet from
Speaker 1: some guy who claimed that a Twitter dating app might
Speaker 1: save humanity from extinction, which we always know that we
Speaker 1: always know Elon Musk is worried about saving humanity from
Speaker 1: extinction with his dick, that's.
Speaker 7: Of course, So yeah, that's the that's the way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no need to worry about the ravages of climate
Speaker 1: change or just.
Speaker 2: Worry about a yeah, a date.
Speaker 4: Hold on, this guy's not fucking enough. The world's gonna end.
Speaker 2: Racists aren't fucking enough.
Speaker 4: Yeah, truly.
Speaker 1: So he responded to that tweet by saying, it's an
Speaker 1: interesting idea that could provide jobs, because that's how he
Speaker 1: gets his business ideas, is just scouring his mentions. I guess, yeah,
Speaker 1: replying with the crying laughing emoji and.
Speaker 4: That could provide jobs? Was that him pretending to be
Speaker 4: like a politician. He's like, oh interesting, and that could
Speaker 4: provide jobs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like, yes, could provide him with additional children too,
Speaker 3: doesn't he have like twenty kids with and.
Speaker 1: He's trying to repopulate the ear like all on his own.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: There already was once an official, unofficial Twitter dating site
Speaker 1: called Blue. It was a dating service only for verified
Speaker 1: Twitter users, which I never, having been a verified Twitter user,
Speaker 1: I was not aware of this, but just a small
Speaker 1: fraction of the people using Twitter were able to use it, obviously,
Speaker 1: and the idea was to match people by analyzing the
Speaker 1: contents of their tweets.
Speaker 4: Oh fuck, which sounds just awful. I mean, hey, with
Speaker 4: the new AI, maybe they can refine that a little
Speaker 4: bit more.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they bragged that Blue was the safest
Speaker 1: dating community ever due to Twitter's verification system, but that obviously,
Speaker 1: since they have like turned the verification the verified tweet
Speaker 1: into like a mockery of what it once was, they
Speaker 1: no longer can can make that claim. But it will
Speaker 1: be a place, I guess, exclusively for racist elon musk
Speaker 1: reply guys to like find each other and date one
Speaker 1: another if they're so inclined, And maybe the planet and
Speaker 1: repopulate the affiliate with the worst humans that you can
Speaker 1: possibly imagine.
Speaker 4: Rise of the pick me elon, guys.
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 1: And we'll come back and talk about AMC candy.
Speaker 2: And we're back.
Speaker 1: And uh so, Apple is expected to release some goggles
Speaker 1: that are called Reality Pro. Oh yeah, give me that
Speaker 1: fucking feeding tube of black mirror actually happening, right.
Speaker 2: Humans, centipede me up.
Speaker 1: So these are goggles that are going to everyone's raving
Speaker 1: about how they far exceed everyone else's VR device and
Speaker 1: they have an augmented reality feature. That is the thing
Speaker 1: that kind of caught my attention because some people are
Speaker 1: speculating that they will actually like this product will eventually
Speaker 1: replace our iPhones because it just puts all of the
Speaker 1: information that you typically use your iPhone for, puts it
Speaker 1: right in front of your eyes, basically like gives you
Speaker 1: augmented reality terminator vision, And like how does it do
Speaker 1: that by like adding things to like glasses? No, it
Speaker 1: actually like the goggles are opaque like VR headset, but
Speaker 1: they have cameras, so oh it's like, have you ever
Speaker 1: been in like a car with one of those rear
Speaker 1: view mirror cameras? Like the rear mirror is replaced by
Speaker 1: like a little.
Speaker 2: Oh, the rear view mirror. It's like a screen. You
Speaker 2: mean the rear view mirror is I've seen.
Speaker 4: That, but i'ven't actually driven one, but it's talking about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, like that's it feels like it's that. But
Speaker 2: for all reality, you just have your eyes into a screen. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: I want them.
Speaker 5: Also to like cover your ears and then have speakers
Speaker 5: in them, you know, yeah, right, gloves gloves that like
Speaker 5: are haptic feedback. So let's just like eliminate all the
Speaker 5: senses and replace it with like a surrogate.
Speaker 1: Drone, right, and I'm all about yeah, and then like
Speaker 1: put the different So like people are saying like that,
Speaker 1: the problem with this being revolutionary is like one, it
Speaker 1: costs three thousand dollars, which is well above the price
Speaker 1: point of everything else.
Speaker 2: But I guess that hasn't stopped Apple in the past.
Speaker 4: I love a consumer purchase that makes you the easiest
Speaker 4: target for robbery.
Speaker 2: I know, I will take you.
Speaker 4: I mean like always three K heads I'm like a
Speaker 4: three K headset watch. I'll sneak up behind you and just.
Speaker 5: You don't even need to sneak why and punch him
Speaker 5: in the stomach and gras.
Speaker 4: Or there's a delay even if you're coming from the
Speaker 4: front by half a second.
Speaker 1: Ship But it's man so like the thing with VR
Speaker 1: that people are like it, just they haven't created their
Speaker 1: killer app yet, Like there's just it's just for gamers.
Speaker 2: It's like a fun thing to play video games with.
Speaker 1: But like in terms of wider adoption, it just hasn't
Speaker 1: like broken through, And I don't expect Apple to be
Speaker 1: the place that like figures that out right, the augmented
Speaker 1: reality like that. Like one of one of the images
Speaker 1: from the Daily Mail article about this is like, you know,
Speaker 1: showing how walking directions could be displayed on a screen
Speaker 1: in front of you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh like Google Maps kind of like yeah, in
Speaker 5: a few in a few meters, you're going to turn
Speaker 5: it right here at the salur.
Speaker 1: Right thing, and with like facial recognition technology, Like I
Speaker 1: could see a world where like now you have the
Speaker 1: database of everyone you've ever met and like can have
Speaker 1: context for that display it on a heads up display
Speaker 1: in front of you. Like I think there is something
Speaker 1: like the future is going to involve somebody somehow inventing
Speaker 1: new senses for people that like we can add to
Speaker 1: our existing senses and like new inputs for like all
Speaker 1: the amazing like capabilities you can have via technology.
Speaker 7: But I just I don't know, maybe this is it.
Speaker 1: You definitely look stupid wearing them and look like the
Speaker 1: biggest target on the planet for robbery or whatever. Like
Speaker 1: you're just walking around with a blank thing on your.
Speaker 21: Head, like right, with no peripheral vision, right although like
Speaker 21: that like maybe it gives you eyes in back of
Speaker 21: your head, like maybe it gives you extra good peripheral vision.
Speaker 4: But what yeah, I mean to your point, like, it's
Speaker 4: not offering anything anyone fucking needs right now.
Speaker 7: Oh, if you have an Apple Watch, it'll that shit'll start.
Speaker 2: But if you need to like walk somewhere, like hey, turn.
Speaker 4: Right here, right here, right here, right here, right here,
Speaker 4: right right here, right here, I don't need to like
Speaker 4: see like the a dotted line to like where I'm
Speaker 4: going down the street to be able to make sense
Speaker 4: of that, like I have the ability to do that,
Speaker 4: or I don't need to know what time it is
Speaker 4: in the upper right hand corner of my vision.
Speaker 2: But I think the.
Speaker 4: Only way I think this, like to your point, where
Speaker 4: it has all this interesting data that maybe is useful
Speaker 4: to someone in the future where it can like you know,
Speaker 4: aggregate all this stuff together in your field of vision.
Speaker 4: Like that's probably more useful when it's something like a
Speaker 4: contact lens you put in over your eye than full
Speaker 4: on like put this mask on where I'm like sort
Speaker 4: of like losing all sense of direction or maybe not.
Speaker 4: I don't know. That's why you have the headset because
Speaker 4: it gives me.
Speaker 1: With the iPhone, with iPad or iPod, it was like
Speaker 1: very obvious, like what like the thing they were creating
Speaker 1: was just a much better version of something that was
Speaker 1: like having all the Internet in your pocket was an
Speaker 1: amazing innovation, Like we didn't have to think up why
Speaker 1: that would be amazing for them, whereas this is like
Speaker 1: it just feels like you're heavy to do too much
Speaker 1: work for them to like come up with. Like I
Speaker 1: don't think of Apple as the place that's going to
Speaker 1: maybe maybe like after you know, decades of development, then
Speaker 1: like things will start to become evident where where this
Speaker 1: will be useful.
Speaker 5: But my favorite thing about augmented reality is that, especially
Speaker 5: if it's in the hands of corporations like you know, Apple,
Speaker 5: it's so easy to like there's they're doing so much
Speaker 5: work on like you know, facial recognition and all this
Speaker 5: stuff that's like a lot harder to kind of program,
Speaker 5: but it's so easy to just like see, oh, there's
Speaker 5: an empty space of wall there. You know what that
Speaker 5: wall needs? Just add for Apple products, bab Yeah. Just
Speaker 5: the world of ads is what we're going to be
Speaker 5: stepping into, right, because that's like they're gonna because it's
Speaker 5: a corporate thinking, right, how are they going to make
Speaker 5: their money back if they're selling it at two thousand
Speaker 5: and three thousand dollars, they got to make their money
Speaker 5: back somehow, And that's going to create the true dystopian nightmare.
Speaker 4: Yeah right, it'll be like just overlay it on like
Speaker 4: objects too that it doesn't think you're interacting with it.
Speaker 4: Like I got hit by a I think the latest
Speaker 4: Marvel film in a poster, but driving the goggles completely
Speaker 4: obscured it because they just layered an AD over that
Speaker 4: moving vehicle.
Speaker 5: Help, I can't see my wife.
Speaker 4: Have you thought about taking the goggles off?
Speaker 2: No? No, they say, on.
Speaker 1: Exactly, All right, let's talk about Richard dreyfus Ay, but
Speaker 1: I don't know you.
Speaker 2: Is this your king Jack?
Speaker 1: This is a This is a segment of the show
Speaker 1: Dreyfus Talk that we have as Monday as we just
Speaker 1: check in with.
Speaker 2: Fus, what's the fuss with?
Speaker 4: We covered his last talk with Bill Maher was really
Speaker 4: great in the last installment of this that really riven
Speaker 4: in conversation. But this time he's made his way over
Speaker 4: to the firing line to talk about just all this
Speaker 4: dang inclusion going on Hollywood, and he's asked a question
Speaker 4: old Dicky dry Dry saying, hey, you know, have have
Speaker 4: diversity measures.
Speaker 2: Gone too far?
Speaker 4: You know, like they're talking about and the host brings
Speaker 4: up like the Academy they're changing its rules for twenty
Speaker 4: twenty five awards that are you know, again meant to
Speaker 4: encourage more diversity inclusion. If you were trying to get
Speaker 4: a Best Picture filmed, then like maybe let's do more
Speaker 4: than like what we're doing, so having like at least
Speaker 4: one lead character in the movie from an underrepresented racial
Speaker 4: or ethnic group, or have thirty percent of the general
Speaker 4: ensemble cast be from at least two unrepresented groups, or
Speaker 4: how the film spokes be about a group, or like
Speaker 4: even with the crew, like the people that you hire,
Speaker 4: you know, like you can still have a very maybe
Speaker 4: white movie, but maybe have more women and you know,
Speaker 4: people of color, LGBTQ, whatever, people working on the set.
Speaker 4: So then that's your way in. So Richard Dreyfuss has
Speaker 4: a very interesting take on it, and we'll just we'll
Speaker 4: just let him speak for himself. He's asked very like
Speaker 4: you know, the host, you know, talks about these new
Speaker 4: efforts academies making.
Speaker 7: And just Richard, what's what's your take on this?
Speaker 4: Let's hear from Richard himself.
Speaker 19: They make me vomit.
Speaker 4: Oh, let me, let me just let me just actually
Speaker 4: give you the full context.
Speaker 13: From underrepresented racial and ethnic groups.
Speaker 15: What do you think of these new inclusion standards for films?
Speaker 19: They make me vomit? Well, this is from people is
Speaker 19: an art form. It's also a form of commerce and
Speaker 19: it makes money. But it's an art and no one
Speaker 19: should be telling me as an artist that I have
Speaker 19: to give in to the latest most current idea of
Speaker 19: what morality is.
Speaker 4: Hmmm.
Speaker 5: Okay, see here's the thing you guys are missing.
Speaker 11: Though.
Speaker 5: We solved racism in nineteen ninety eight. Yes with Krippendorf's tribe.
Speaker 4: Yes Goga Bundo, I believe was the tagline he said
Speaker 4: when he was about to have sex with Jenna Elfman.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember the film.
Speaker 5: Well, no more introspection needed.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know why I know that film so well.
Speaker 4: It's I think because it was so fucked up, like
Speaker 4: when I was like, oh, this could be a film
Speaker 4: like this is so this is so backwards and fucked up,
Speaker 4: like holy shit.
Speaker 7: But yeah, also commerce.
Speaker 4: But let's let's allow him to go on, because he
Speaker 4: he does raise some interesting there by the way.
Speaker 16: I do.
Speaker 1: I do love just his reduction of diversity and truth
Speaker 1: and storytelling through like actually giving alternate points view involvement
Speaker 1: in the industry as being like he dismisses it as
Speaker 1: like the latest fed in morality, right right, right, real.
Speaker 4: This is where this is where he really brings it home.
Speaker 4: And I think this is where I have to agree
Speaker 4: with him, like for all the nonsense racist talk of earlier,
Speaker 4: just you know, I'm just leave me alone. I'm a
Speaker 4: boomer actor. I think I think he really makes a
Speaker 4: really good case with this next talking point, and by that,
Speaker 4: I mean he digs even fucking deeper.
Speaker 2: Let's go deep.
Speaker 19: And I'm sorry, I don't think that there's a minority
Speaker 19: or a majority in the country that has to be
Speaker 19: catered to like that.
Speaker 2: You know, Laurence Olivier.
Speaker 19: Was the last white actor to play Othello in blackface,
Speaker 19: and he did it in nineteen sixty.
Speaker 2: Five in blackface.
Speaker 19: And he did it in blackface. Oh and he played
Speaker 19: a black man. And brilliantly, am I being told that
Speaker 19: I will never have a chance to play a black man?
Speaker 19: And with someone else being told that if they're not
Speaker 19: Jewish they shouldn't play the Merchant of Venice? Are we crazy?
Speaker 2: Are we crazy? Dude? I guess entitlement already.
Speaker 4: It's just like his perspective is, you're telling me I
Speaker 4: can't put on black face if I want to.
Speaker 7: Oh no, no, no, art.
Speaker 2: I went to a.
Speaker 1: Costume party with again in the eighties and he went
Speaker 1: as Michael Jackson and it brought the house down. And
Speaker 1: you're telling me that that wasn't funny. He also has
Speaker 1: his glasses like all the way at the end of
Speaker 1: his nose, like it's so precariously there. It's just it's
Speaker 1: an interesting vibe.
Speaker 2: It's grandpa tone.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1: He's also exactly like has there ever been an actor
Speaker 1: who like portrays just like such like he not not
Speaker 1: only does he seem uncool, but he also seems like
Speaker 1: an asshole and like just like this is exactly what
Speaker 1: I would expect from him.
Speaker 7: He's that's it's like, what about Bob feels like a documentary?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, but it's like like look at like Spielberg
Speaker 5: knew this immediately about the guy, like he he cast
Speaker 5: him in like Close Encounters is like I need a
Speaker 5: man child, Like I need someone who would just get
Speaker 5: rid of their family because they have an idea, you know,
Speaker 5: like this is the kind of guy this kind of
Speaker 5: vibes he sense right in his.
Speaker 2: Head so bad.
Speaker 1: But also our writer Jam pointed out that on Twitter
Speaker 1: he's been correct. Patrick Stewart actually played Othello in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety seven in a production in a production with reverse
Speaker 1: casting where he was the only white person in the
Speaker 1: cast and everyone else was black.
Speaker 4: Right, they could still maintain like the sort of the
Speaker 4: overall tension of Othello of someone who is probably an
Speaker 4: out group.
Speaker 1: Maybe say something interesting without without black face, without black face.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but are you telling me it's just like the
Speaker 4: way he says, You're like, shut up, Richard Dreyfus, you're
Speaker 4: finding her who gonna vomit?
Speaker 1: It makes me want to vomit. Okay, I do think
Speaker 1: we need to add the it makes me want to
Speaker 1: vomit to board like that just feels like it was
Speaker 1: he said that to make me vomit.
Speaker 2: It really does have like shock jock in.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they make me vomit. Okay, they make me vomit.
Speaker 4: But so uh great defender of the status quo and obviously,
Speaker 4: I mean, why didn't he bring up Robert Downey juniors thunder?
Speaker 7: I mean, wow, you're have you the Richard Dreyfus really.
Speaker 4: Isn't even up on all the modern blackface. Uh, you
Speaker 4: know Jimmy Kimmel is Karl Malone. That's right, you know,
Speaker 4: some of the greatest performances we've ever seen from fuking idiots,
Speaker 4: shockingly recently. Yeah, are you telling me that I would
Speaker 4: not be able to play Draymond Green if I wanted
Speaker 4: to in his biopic? No, I reject that notion. I'm
Speaker 4: an artist.
Speaker 5: I can kick with the best of them.
Speaker 1: Yes, this wokeness is a problem that you're going to
Speaker 1: ignore until it swims up and bites.
Speaker 2: You on the asp or I die or I al.
Speaker 7: I just die and.
Speaker 5: Stop being so fussy fussy old dick, that's what.
Speaker 7: I Yeah he is dread Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he doesn't seem like he's Yeah, he seems dusty
Speaker 1: and pretty dusty, like he's seen a lot of moisture.
Speaker 4: Like when he talks, like it's like when you eat
Speaker 4: a bunch of saltines, like just a dust company because
Speaker 4: your mouth can't absorb.
Speaker 2: Part mummy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's doing the gradual natural mummification process.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he shout out to art though. Also watching
Speaker 4: the I was looking at like Olivier as a fellow.
Speaker 4: My god, y'all, it ain't.
Speaker 2: It's not that you don't want.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like mid, like so many people have done
Speaker 5: a fellow really well, it's pretty mid.
Speaker 4: Oh it's mid as fuck. And then you just can't
Speaker 4: get past the black face. It's like so bad. You're like,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, what the fuck?
