Speaker 1: What's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 5: Authenticity? M?
Speaker 2: What do you mean what you're saying here?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I'm over it. Just at first I was going to
Speaker 5: be specific and talk about like gray hairs and personal
Speaker 5: grooming M. But that I realize just in general, I'm
Speaker 5: over authenticity.
Speaker 3: Give it.
Speaker 2: Give us an example of how you are bucking the
Speaker 2: scourge of authenticity.
Speaker 5: Okay, number one, please take a note of my attire today,
Speaker 5: folks at home. I am in flannel covered in eggs, banana, avocado,
Speaker 5: and apple.
Speaker 1: Yeah I did. I was going to say, wait, don't

Speaker 5: Yeah, some of it from last week?
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, wow, that's not stains on the SWITS shirt
Speaker 1: I wear't.
Speaker 3: Right now now.
Speaker 5: I also have like all my grays peeking through a
Speaker 5: little bit of sunburn. On one side.
Speaker 1: On one side, you don't want to know you're breaking
Speaker 1: up the parenting by being a lung haul trucker.
Speaker 2: Is that where the.
Speaker 5: I don't want to be fucking authentic. I don't want
Speaker 5: to be authentic. I want you at home just imagining
Speaker 5: that I look fucking glamorous. Yeah, that my hair is
Speaker 5: like blown out, my makeup is contoured and perfect. My
Speaker 5: snapchat filter is like, really, how I look? You know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying that I'm like a Kim Kardashian mom
Speaker 5: that's just like together all the time, always on my
Speaker 5: banana phone, just.
Speaker 1: Having long, like three hour long phone calls.
Speaker 2: That like mommy's busy, Mommy's busy. Anyway, rothy, get back.
Speaker 5: We all know it's not true, but isn't it better?
Speaker 5: You know, I've already been on the show talking about
Speaker 5: how important lying is, right and this is really just
Speaker 5: part two event. Just keep the lies going. You don't
Speaker 5: need to know how people are doing. Really, whenever people
Speaker 5: are like, how are you doing? Like, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you. Look, I'll tell you if I'm
Speaker 2: doing bad.
Speaker 3: How about that? Otherwise, let's just presume I'm bawling out
Speaker 3: of control. Okay, I'm just.
Speaker 5: Out here just killing it, just slaying. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 5: drinking from hydroflask that should have been a Stanley.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah I did.
Speaker 2: We did clock that before we started rolling, and I
Speaker 2: was like, oh, you came with the Stanley and then
Speaker 2: you turned it around. Set the record straight. It is
Speaker 2: a hydroflask, but it looks functionally exactly the same as
Speaker 2: a quencher.
Speaker 3: And you said you were not ye Stanley.
Speaker 5: You know, I screwed up lied.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the one area that we have to disagree.
Speaker 1: Authenticity isn't good.
Speaker 2: Damn it.
Speaker 1: If it's a Stanley, quencher or a hydroflag, it needs
Speaker 1: to be a Stanley, unfortunately for us to be okay,
Speaker 1: because we're gen Z. We're gen zregen Z.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 6: Did you not know?
Speaker 3: I forgot?
Speaker 6: It's very important, So.
Speaker 1: Fucking cringe, like you don't even know your gen zs are, Like.
Speaker 5: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: Oh my, did you try a stand though? Wait for real, though,
Speaker 2: did you try a Stanley Stanley?
Speaker 5: I didn't like it?
Speaker 1: Okay, so break it down, house not been using it?
Speaker 5: Well, Stanley is narrower mm okay, and I was extra
Speaker 5: conscious of how it might tip over.
Speaker 3: Oh, it didn't feel stable, like.
Speaker 5: I care about my center of gravity. I also don't
Speaker 5: have as much collagen in any of my joints anymore.
Speaker 1: Things are wildly y.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just thought you were a great dance.
Speaker 3: It's true.
Speaker 1: I mean it's narrow. So this might answer the question
Speaker 1: that I was asking yesterday, because I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: the stanley being the size of a cup holder makes sense.
Speaker 1: Why do so many of my cups not fit into
Speaker 1: a cup holder? What are you thinking? And it's for
Speaker 1: stability in non cup holder situations, it would seem matter right.
Speaker 5: Like a good wild cup.
Speaker 1: Oh, hold all the way down to the base right,
Speaker 1: all the earth matters, all the way down exactly, Get
Speaker 1: all the way down. I mean, you know what this fits?
Speaker 5: This fits in everything. If it does, its in my car,
Speaker 5: if it's in my vagina, I try.
Speaker 2: To still got it every night, just making sure.
Speaker 5: I could put the baby back in. I probably could.
Speaker 5: I had a birth. We didn't talk about this last time.
Speaker 1: I don't think we did know I had a.
Speaker 5: I should say vaginal birth. Yeah, that took twenty minutes
Speaker 5: all the way.
Speaker 2: We did talk about it off mic though, but I
Speaker 2: think we weren't prepared to be like, yeah, twenty yo,
Speaker 2: shoutout twenty minutes, shout out.
Speaker 3: To a quick good for you man.
Speaker 5: My doctor asked me if I would like to do
Speaker 5: this professionally.
Speaker 2: Right and also and uh go into the bathroom with
Speaker 2: this Stanley mug really quickly. It was easy.
Speaker 1: Sure you haven't done this before? That was wow.
Speaker 5: I had no issue. Also, this fits in my vagina.
Speaker 2: Now my.
Speaker 5: Hydroflask and Stanley.
Speaker 2: Oh man, Jack, you're gonna get a Stanley though you
Speaker 2: said you you you're hearing I'm thinking, okay.
Speaker 1: It's it's definitely uh under underheavy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're just waiting for hydroflass to be more popular.
Speaker 1: That's what our household has a Stanley in it. I
Speaker 1: am just not permitted to use it or look at it,
Speaker 1: but you know it's we have one. We've invested in
Speaker 1: a Stanley and now you know, it just takes some
Speaker 1: time whether we are at to Stanley. Household is just
Speaker 1: a thing that you you kind of have to have
Speaker 1: a conversation about with your loved ones. That's for every family.
Speaker 1: That's it for every family.
Speaker 5: YEA to this sense, Stanley also has a rim. Do
Speaker 5: you know how easy it is to wash this rimless
Speaker 5: hydroflask flat face?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah that that like that, it's so easy.
Speaker 5: To wash this. I just hold it under the sink
Speaker 5: and just easy to wash. Yeah, I have you have
Speaker 5: to like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we do a little. Yeah, we don't have
Speaker 3: time for that.
Speaker 1: Do detailing. Yeah, I don't want to have to do detailing.
Speaker 5: It sounds like when I wash dishes.
Speaker 3: Same for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's definitely my internal monologue. I open like an
Speaker 2: old bottle and I'm like, oh, I happen here, clean
Speaker 2: it quickly.
Speaker 1: I do every household chore like Paul Rudd picking those
Speaker 1: things up in wet, hot American summer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, putting his utensils away.
Speaker 1: Exasperated, zero energy with every movement.
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, that's how orgasm now, Yeah that's how.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 3: It good for you?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Whatever, Give me the Stanley, Just hand me the Stanley,
Speaker 2: give me ten minutes, me my phone, give me banana phone,
Speaker 2: my banana phone, and my and my hydroflask.
Speaker 1: Let me get right real quick, get right with the lord.
Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 5: Yo? Did we talk about this tongue tie? Every getting
Speaker 5: a baby's tongue tie release, No, do we talk about this?
Speaker 3: Wait? What is tongue think that?
Speaker 5: Oh my god, it's like everywhere in my world.
Speaker 3: Oh this thing under your tongue here?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, your friend little yeah yeah?
Speaker 2: Wait wait.
Speaker 3: Wait what is this? Wait? What are we doing?
Speaker 5: OK So, it's like a fad right now for everybody
Speaker 5: to like cut their baby's tongue tie to the point
Speaker 5: that they're.
Speaker 1: Not at home.
Speaker 5: Some people do it at home, not for the baby,
Speaker 5: not for the baby. But I have heard of like
Speaker 5: people who are older, like even teenagers from twelve. I've
Speaker 5: heard of a twelve year old boy doing this. I've
Speaker 5: heard of an eighteen year old doing this, And I've
Speaker 5: heard of people in their twenties and older just like
Speaker 5: cutting their own tongue ties, which I think is a
Speaker 5: little bit much, but like with their fingernails, because that's
Speaker 5: how they did it in like medieval times.
Speaker 2: It's just like h just like nail a yeah, nip
Speaker 2: nip that U says, being you are like a coke
Speaker 2: addict if you had that like long pinky No.
Speaker 3: But they're like, no, I'm a midwife and.
Speaker 1: I work on ain Kilo glossia.
Speaker 3: I think is the medical term for tongue tie.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 2: So it's basically that for some people that part is
Speaker 2: keeping is limiting the range of motion for their.
Speaker 5: Tongue, right exactly, it limits the range of motion, and
Speaker 5: so they chop down on your nipple the little baby.
Speaker 5: Oh and it can.
Speaker 1: Right, a baby's tongue has to do.
Speaker 5: This like dynamic wave like motion to get all milk
Speaker 5: out of your tit. Yeah, and a chomped down on
Speaker 5: your nipple. And then what medical establishments people's like to
Speaker 5: say is you have the wrong nipple for your baby,
Speaker 5: because if you have a long nipple, it stimulates their palate.
Speaker 1: I blame your nipple, yeah right, Yeah.
Speaker 5: Certified LC's will tell you. Lactation consultants will tell you
Speaker 5: it's not nipple feeding, it's breast feeding.
Speaker 1: You.
Speaker 5: The whole breast goes into the mouth and cheeks of
Speaker 5: your baby and it just drawn and it gets all
Speaker 5: the milk. And that's how you're supposed to feed. But
Speaker 5: hungue tie gets in the way of this. And so
Speaker 5: there's this big controversy, controversy that was in the New
Speaker 5: York Times that to me is like a little bit
Speaker 5: rooted in sexism.
Speaker 2: Mm. Hmm.
Speaker 5: Because and some conspiracy because which is my favorite, because
Speaker 5: they're claiming that like lactation consultants everywhere are getting commissions
Speaker 5: from these pediatric dentists that are telling everybody they have
Speaker 5: tongue ti so they can make a ton of money
Speaker 5: because you can get away with slicing a little bit
Speaker 5: of freendulum in a baby without real terrible.
Speaker 1: Harm damage, right, interesting, So.
Speaker 5: They're like making all of this corrupt money that they
Speaker 5: shouldn't be making, which is like you know, oh yeah,
Speaker 5: God forbid an industry that services women ever make any money.
Speaker 5: I mean, like, but I don't. I don't know that
Speaker 5: that's true because they my doctors all discouraged me from
Speaker 5: getting Afy's tongue tied taken care of, but it was
Speaker 5: actually entirely affecting her feeding, right oh yeah, and then
Speaker 5: we weren't able.
Speaker 1: To people like they at first discourage es.
Speaker 5: They completely discoursed.
Speaker 1: We got ours untied right at the like early, I
Speaker 1: think that's how one or two. Yeah, wait for every.
Speaker 5: Baby, no, if you're having trouble.
Speaker 1: No, just for yeah, I uh had that tight fremulum
Speaker 1: and they were like, might want to snip that. He's
Speaker 1: gonna like, wait, you could tell because when he stuck
Speaker 1: his tongue out, it looked like it was like kind
Speaker 1: of cleft a little bit right, like into two because
Speaker 1: the frame is like hanging on too tight.
Speaker 3: Oh and I offered.
Speaker 1: To do it at home and the doctors said, yeah,
Speaker 1: why would we do that?
Speaker 3: Oh that's when you were asking to borrow my leather man.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: I was like, I got the tools.
Speaker 2: I mean, Miles got the tools, but I got to
Speaker 2: work on it, and I'm like, it's rusty, okay, should
Speaker 2: be fine.
Speaker 3: To be fine.
Speaker 1: I got this vice that I could just use to
Speaker 1: hold his head super securely.
Speaker 7: Real quick, you guys, I was trying to look this
Speaker 7: up and Google says the fremulum is the bridge of
Speaker 7: tissue connecting your foreskin to the head of your penis.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The producer Justin Justin coming in with the hot I
Speaker 1: think they most there's two.
Speaker 2: There's a friendulum of the tongue too. Yeah, there's a lingual.
Speaker 5: That's what I was talking about. What were you guys
Speaker 5: talking about?
Speaker 1: That tells us a lot of Justin's search history. I'll
Speaker 1: just say I said, what is freulum in Google?
Speaker 3: And it's the first thing that comes up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's called thank you because I think
Speaker 2: it's a friend. Freedom is the one in the mouthy.
Speaker 3: We get it.
Speaker 2: We were all there. We weren't talking about your people's
Speaker 2: peepy and cutting that thing off to make sure your
Speaker 2: breastfeed right through your penis. But good because I bet
Speaker 2: there are a lot of people Justin were like.
Speaker 1: What the freedom is frankulum means so freedom in Latin
Speaker 1: means bridle, that's the wanting your mouth and then friend
Speaker 1: you lum means little bridle on your little people.
Speaker 2: Free um freeump what to say? Okay, we'll see bailed
Speaker 2: out again by our super wonderful anyway.
Speaker 3: So yeah, but we knew what we were talking about.
Speaker 1: We knew and for anyone that was bothering, yeah.
Speaker 2: Look that's why come to Please continue to support the
Speaker 2: show so we can have people sparrows from having embarrassing
Speaker 2: penis mix ups.
Speaker 5: In the opening of the show, the SBI stepped in
Speaker 5: and took care of us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: They showed up in Justin's search history and were like, hold.
Speaker 3: On, hold on, hold on, what the are talking.
Speaker 1: About right now? Good god, they must have the weirdest job.
Speaker 1: They're just sitting there listening to the podcast recorded live.
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's take a quick break and we'll
Speaker 1: come back and we'll talk about some news stories. We'll
Speaker 1: be right play with.
Speaker 5: Your friend Youlum.
Speaker 6: After these messages, we'll talk more about friendulums.
Speaker 2: And we're back. We're back, and a freedom not friendulum
Speaker 2: just for the recreend.
Speaker 3: We knew that, and we knew that.
Speaker 1: We knew that, and we knew that, and we knew
Speaker 1: that all along.
Speaker 3: And for y'all, yes, and you pass well passed.
Speaker 1: Congratulations. As we all know, Elon Musk has repeatedly amplified
Speaker 1: anti Semitic conspiracy theories on Twitter, allows hate speech to
Speaker 1: proliferate all over the face of his social media platform,
Speaker 1: with some Nazi loving accounts even earning money through its
Speaker 1: ad revenue sharing program. Wow. So in order to save face,
Speaker 1: he instituted some serious new policies to kind of clamp
Speaker 1: down on No way, I'm sorry, No, that's incorrect. No,
Speaker 1: he traveled to Auschwitz for a nakedly self serving publicity stunt.
Speaker 3: My bet, yeah, I was shocked here.
Speaker 1: He didn't change any hitting something of substance about how
Speaker 1: he operates.
Speaker 5: You see wouldn't it be nice if Elon wasn't so
Speaker 5: on brand right?
Speaker 1: Right would be but then he wouldn't be Elon Musk now. So,
Speaker 1: beginning on Monday of this week, he participated in a
Speaker 1: two day conference themed around combating anti Semitism, hosted by
Speaker 1: the European Jewish Association, and predictably, it was a complete
Speaker 1: shit show. He got a private tour of Auschwitz along
Speaker 1: with Ben Shapiro, who was also at the conference, and
Speaker 1: like later interviewed him and just lobbed him a bunch
Speaker 1: of softballs that didn't raise any of his history.
Speaker 3: That's even disrespect to a softball.
Speaker 1: Yeah, meatballs.
Speaker 2: They were like hot in candy dreams in the shape
Speaker 2: of a sphere basically, and he had a tennis racket
Speaker 2: to just think that, I mean, beyond that quote unquote
Speaker 2: interview where they're like, because you would have thought any
Speaker 2: serious examination of anti Semitism dealing with the person who's
Speaker 2: running Twitter.
Speaker 3: You'd be like.
Speaker 2: And also in our next segment called this you here's
Speaker 2: some of the posts that you have been putting up
Speaker 2: for the last couple of years. Really would like to
Speaker 2: talk about that, but it was not the case.
Speaker 1: You've been putting up, retweeting, liking, retweeting with comment being
Speaker 1: like this is weird interesting about like antisemitic conspiracy theories. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he also brought his three year old, so the you know,
Speaker 1: the website for the Auschwitz Memorial says it is not
Speaker 1: recommended that children under fourteen visit the moment oriole, which
Speaker 1: seems like one of those things that absolutely goes without saying,
Speaker 1: but I guess needs to be said. But you see
Speaker 1: it and you're like, yeah, no, of course, of course
Speaker 1: he brought his three year old and was like giving
Speaker 1: him shoulder rides like it was fucking the circus?
Speaker 2: Is it the daughter? Wait? Is she x twelve or
Speaker 2: whatever that name is? Uh, that's that's his son or daughter.
Speaker 1: That's the sun, according to sources who I'm looking at. Okay,
Speaker 1: how do we desert it? Do we have a what?
Speaker 2: What are we?
Speaker 3: What are we calling? How do we pronounce that jumble
Speaker 3: of No?
Speaker 1: I think you just nailed it. She nailed it so
Speaker 1: hard that I'm not even going to attempt to reproduce.
Speaker 1: Ok yeah, yeah, but yeah, So after the Tory sat
Speaker 1: down for an interview with Ben Shapiro, and Shapiro just
Speaker 1: didn't in no Way mentioned his history of anti Semitism.
Speaker 1: The talk even open and with a video produced by
Speaker 1: the European Jewish Association that imagined what the Holocaust would
Speaker 1: have been like if social media and specifically X had
Speaker 1: existed at the time, and ended by posing the question,
Speaker 1: if we had had X in nineteen thirty nine, could
Speaker 1: have been saved we had X in.
Speaker 5: I mean, if they're talking about like ecstasy like MOLLI.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe yeah, rather than like math. Yeah, they're mainly
Speaker 1: on myth. Yeah, mainly on like very rudimentary myth. And
Speaker 1: I feel like generally people are less likely to commit
Speaker 1: mass genocide when on MOLL they're on MDMA rather than
Speaker 1: rudimentary myth.
Speaker 5: But also, like Twitter is stoking Nazism now yea or X,
Speaker 5: I should say.
Speaker 1: Oh you noticed that? Okay, yeah, shit, I guess we
Speaker 1: didn't really think about that.
Speaker 2: Well, but did they answer the question how many lives
Speaker 2: would have been saved? For the absolutely unuseful question, useless question.
Speaker 1: They implied, They implied an answer they had in one
Speaker 1: of the videos, like fake tweets. They had an official
Speaker 1: account posting about Auschwitz's thriving inhabitants, only to have that
Speaker 1: claim debunked by excess community note.
Speaker 3: That is so fucking grim?
Speaker 2: Are these doctored tweets from at Auschwitz camp official? Like
Speaker 2: what this is such a grim thought experiment? Then I'm like,
Speaker 2: who does this fucking benefit? I mean, it's just really
Speaker 2: just like creating more cover for X, which is a
Speaker 2: legitimate I mean at this point four chan, eight chan
Speaker 2: and now X or whatever we want to call this thing.
Speaker 3: It's just like a terrible it's a sesspit.
Speaker 2: But yeah, community notes would have come through and been like, yeah,
Speaker 2: actually this is this is actually the site of our
Speaker 2: told horror. Is that what they're saying? Because the community
Speaker 2: notes right now, I feel like half the community notes
Speaker 2: just being like this is from a drop ship company
Speaker 2: and you can get this product for much cheaper on
Speaker 2: another outlet for like this consumer good. I feel like
Speaker 2: that's the most community notes I see recently.
Speaker 1: He literally claimed this is a quote. If there had
Speaker 1: been social media, it would have been impossible for the
Speaker 1: Nazis to hide. Elon Musk said that, like, try to
Speaker 1: imagine literally any other CEO making that argument about their products.
Speaker 1: Like if the head of Pepsi Co was just like,
Speaker 1: you know, I think Hitler would have had a hard
Speaker 1: time rising to power with the refreshing taste of mountain dews,
Speaker 1: baja blasts.
Speaker 2: Okay, exactly, let's not let's not just saying let's that
Speaker 2: may but let's let's let's create a space where that
Speaker 2: is possible. Though, you know, maybe ba.
Speaker 1: Stanley, bad example, because that's probably yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a bad example.
Speaker 3: Bad example, bad example, just.
Speaker 2: The wild ass shit if it would have been impossible
Speaker 2: to hide, like well right now they're not even hiding
Speaker 2: on your website.
Speaker 3: They're like fucking out in full force.
Speaker 2: So I don't even understand that or is he trying
Speaker 2: to say that like x Also because of like sort
Speaker 2: of like open source intelligence people who like kind of
Speaker 2: begin to like identify who Nazis are, are you siding
Speaker 2: with those people who actually do try and drag Nazis
Speaker 2: out into the sunlight? Like that's what's so wild. I'm like,
Speaker 2: what version of Twitter are you celebrating?
Speaker 3: Exactly?
Speaker 5: This is wild to me also because like, you know,
Speaker 5: everything that's going on right now in terms of just
Speaker 5: like talking about genocide in Israel is anti Semitic, right,
Speaker 5: But right Elon Musk having this conversation where you just
Speaker 5: like wax is poetic right while he stokes anti se
Speaker 5: Sematism on his platform.
Speaker 2: It's such a weird thing because the revenue from it, right,
Speaker 2: And I know that people like at the ADL were
Speaker 2: really upset with the leadership there because on one hand
Speaker 2: they're like, we they've called out Elon Musk's anti semitism,
Speaker 2: and then the other hand be like they're a great
Speaker 2: partner in the fight against anti Semitism, and it's like
Speaker 2: a very it's just like it's really really inconsistent, and yeah,
Speaker 2: it it you begin to wonder, like because because you
Speaker 2: know that there's like this whole thing right where the
Speaker 2: Israeli government is like we've completely lost the digital battlefield
Speaker 2: in terms of like sentiment on social media, and like
Speaker 2: there's now like a real concerted effort to really address
Speaker 2: that because they're like, I don't know what happened like
Speaker 2: on the internet, like we so they may see like
Speaker 2: having the power of Twitter, harnessing the power of Twitter,
Speaker 2: or Elon's desire to try and like you know, whitewash
Speaker 2: his anti semitism away as a as like a potent
Speaker 2: tool to begin like battling that messaging. Because you also
Speaker 2: have a lot of like these accounts that are like
Speaker 2: the apparent that are like that are They're like there's
Speaker 2: like one called at defund Israel Now or something like
Speaker 2: that that apparently Elon Musk like actually is the one
Speaker 2: who's like, Okay, I'm gonna give you that like silver gold,
Speaker 2: blue like badge or whatever. That apparently he has to
Speaker 2: have like a say in verifying, and that account is
Speaker 2: like basically doing all this stuff to be like Hitler's
Speaker 2: talked about so like poorly, but meanwhile there's a real
Speaker 2: genocide happening that Jews are doing and you're like, what.
Speaker 3: Is this content? Oh my god.
Speaker 2: So it's like there's he's like he's like playing every
Speaker 2: single angle, and I think cynical people are saying that
Speaker 2: accounts like that. We're not cynical, but like the cynical
Speaker 2: read on promoting account like that is to just tie
Speaker 2: any stance that is anti apartheid or genocide as being
Speaker 2: part and parcel of like full blown Nazi stuff, like.
Speaker 1: Full blown antisemity.
Speaker 2: Yeah, to completely tie that those two ideas together so
Speaker 2: they're like inextricable. So then the shorthand for people to
Speaker 2: be like, oh, you're saying that that means they're like
Speaker 2: actually a Nazi.
Speaker 1: Yeah, see, yeah, just to I mean, maybe this doesn't
Speaker 1: need to be said, but X Like even if there
Speaker 1: magically was like a social media platform at the time,
Speaker 1: Jewish citizens wouldn't just be able to leave Germany after
Speaker 1: seeing some tweets because the Nazis revoked their right to
Speaker 1: free movement long before the death camps were built. And
Speaker 1: also much of the world did know about what the
Speaker 1: Nazis were doing but turned a blind eye, which I
Speaker 1: think is important to keep in mind at this time
Speaker 1: because that feels like what we're going through right now
Speaker 1: is a lot of the world just kind of turning
Speaker 1: a blind eye and just being like, well, that's not
Speaker 1: really my problem, is it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well it's weird too because the social media has
Speaker 2: allowed more people to sort of engage with, like engage
Speaker 2: with the topic, while governments, for sure, it's like that's
Speaker 2: why they feel like there's such a tension existing in
Speaker 2: many countries where people like, I'm sorry, what are we
Speaker 2: what's our part in this as a nation? Can we
Speaker 2: do something about that? And like, oh, you saw that.
Speaker 2: We were just hoping to like let that pass until
Speaker 2: there's some other global controversy that can kind of keep
Speaker 2: this thing moving. But yeah, like just to say like
Speaker 2: it it's just the tweets would have changed everything. It's
Speaker 2: just disingenuous and just makes like an utter mockery of
Speaker 2: like everything that's happening. Because right now I feel like
Speaker 2: like while people are like a lot of media is
Speaker 2: unable to really contend with what's happening, especially in Gaza
Speaker 2: in the West Bank. Now it's like now it's more
Speaker 2: like everyone's being like, would you see what Hillary Clinton
Speaker 2: had to say about Greta Gerwick and Margo Robbie, you know,
Speaker 2: not getting snubbed and like that's getting to It's just
Speaker 2: we're in a bizarre, upside down world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean he did make kind of an
Speaker 1: air type case that he can't be doing in anything
Speaker 1: that would confused with anti Semitism because he said that
Speaker 1: he has Jewish friends. Oh no, oh yeah, then that
Speaker 1: that okay, No, actually two thirds of my friends are Jewish.
Speaker 1: I'm like Jewish by association. Yoh, problem, he said, I'm asked.
Speaker 2: He said, I'm asked. That full quote is I'm Then
Speaker 2: he said, I'm aspirationally Jewish, dude, you are out here
Speaker 2: like retweeting that kind of stuff where you're saying like
Speaker 2: it's that like fake ass, non not real Voltaire quote
Speaker 2: about being like you should be worried of Like it's
Speaker 2: to the effect of like you have to think about
Speaker 2: the people you are not allowed to criticize in a society,
Speaker 2: and like that's where you know where the power lies.
Speaker 2: But that's really just comes from an anti Semitic fucking creep.
Speaker 1: But they're like that was actually a full taar, Like
Speaker 1: you're doing that kind of a full taire one said,
Speaker 1: and then quoting a straight up like four chance, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're like that from a Reinhardt Hydrich speech that he
Speaker 1: gave to the book.
Speaker 3: Okay whatever, Sure, but.
Speaker 1: Despite his oddly specific fraction of Jewish friends and calculated
Speaker 1: photo ops, X still not solving its anti semitism problem.
Speaker 1: Several antisemitic posts on X which have been identified as
Speaker 1: antisemtic moderators have refused to delete, claiming that they do
Speaker 1: not violate the platform's rules, so they've been reviewed and
Speaker 1: not deleted. There's been a spike and anti semitic posts
Speaker 1: in the country that must just visited. In Poland because
Speaker 1: of an incident in December in which a far right
Speaker 1: MP used a fire extinguisher to snuff out a menora
Speaker 1: during Hanukkah, which was a major news story and inspired
Speaker 1: a slew of white supremacist memes. And they're just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, what are we going to do? It's you know,
Speaker 1: so they they're just very selective and where they care
Speaker 1: about this.
Speaker 2: That's it's such a it's so this is so fucking
Speaker 2: dangerous to play around with what is hate or what
Speaker 2: is not hate speech? You know what I mean, Like
Speaker 2: it's completely well, it's gonna lose meaning because it's if
Speaker 2: it's if it yeah, like to the point where like
Speaker 2: it's it's like, I don't it really it really blows
Speaker 2: my mind because I do not see how beginning to
Speaker 2: weaponize anti semitism in like a very cynical way makes
Speaker 2: anyone safe. And it's just used to sort of like
Speaker 2: stop any kind of discussion or debate or dissent or whatever.
Speaker 2: But meanwhile, you have somebody who's so open about like
Speaker 2: what they're like their philosophical view is supposedly be like
Speaker 2: the standard bearer for the fight against it.
Speaker 5: It's just like, wow, what on earth?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just it It just for me, it's just
Speaker 2: like it, I only see this getting worse, like to
Speaker 2: begin to just to fuck around like this constantly. But again,
Speaker 2: I think like there's clearly there's clearly been this thing
Speaker 2: of like online the sentiment, whether there's like young people
Speaker 2: or whatever it is to blame people's just general disgust
Speaker 2: for what is happening or them being completely taken aback
Speaker 2: by the violence that's happening against innocent people.
Speaker 3: And I don't know, I'm just like.
Speaker 5: Well, this is the problem with like the FCC not
Speaker 5: being on top of this shit right right, And this
Speaker 5: is why I just want to bring us back again
Speaker 5: to the fact that authenticity sucks. We don't need to
Speaker 5: hear about these like hate filled assholes and their anti
Speaker 5: Semitic bullshit, Like they don't get to have this much
Speaker 5: voice and presence and energy, Like we are supposed to
Speaker 5: censor shit like that, you know, or is it censure
Speaker 5: you know or both? Like it's that's not okay and
Speaker 5: you don't get to just like walk around. And in fact,
Speaker 5: half the reason why we're having to deal with this
Speaker 5: all again and again and again is because X isn't
Speaker 5: on top of regulating it as well as other media platforms.
Speaker 2: Yeah, That's why I'm like, yeah, I remember in the
Speaker 2: beginning that like it felt like the EU was really
Speaker 2: being like, yo, you need to fucking answer for the
Speaker 2: kinds of garbage that's on this website because like we
Speaker 2: see that as like a threat to our like stability here.
Speaker 2: But I'm not sure like where that's headed. And yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know again, I mean, I understand why the
Speaker 2: US especially doesn't have a reckoning with hate speech, because
Speaker 2: it's it's so such part and parcel of the culture
Speaker 2: that they there's no way like that we could begin
Speaker 2: to do that and have people come out of the
Speaker 2: woodwork and be.
Speaker 3: Like it's it's all of our free speech, not to saying.
Speaker 5: That people need to be Possibly we can't even get
Speaker 5: gun controled together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right exactly. They're like, man, we can't even control
Speaker 3: objects like that we.
Speaker 2: Could easily control, Yeah, like words, Nah, you gotta we
Speaker 2: can't even.
Speaker 5: Fucking there's no regulation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and yeah, like I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, the FCC obviously is dealing with stuff that's
Speaker 2: like broadcast, so I don't know who you know, obviously, right,
Speaker 2: is the real regulator there. But I mean it's just
Speaker 2: we thought that maybe the advertiser Exodus would do something,
Speaker 2: but it just seems like now we're just watching it
Speaker 2: fall apart. But it's like watching like a star collapse
Speaker 2: on itself, and then it's probably gonna end in something
Speaker 2: really fucking gross.
Speaker 5: What I'm saying, Miles is I don't know why they
Speaker 5: don't let me do it.
Speaker 2: Let you be the charge, ask kicker on Twitter.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would be really good at it. You don't
Speaker 5: get to play here anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that is the banana phones final word. Click right, Yeah, all.
Speaker 1: Right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back.
Speaker 3: We're back.
Speaker 6: And it's just.
Speaker 1: A resource question. You know. The FCC has so much
Speaker 1: less money than Twitter, than most of these people, and
Speaker 1: so they just like, don't.
Speaker 5: Wait, but I don't understand. Aren't they paying taxes?
Speaker 1: Oh No, let's talk about gummy vitamins, shall we?
Speaker 5: No, don't take them away from me? What are you
Speaker 5: gonna say?
Speaker 1: Jack?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Jack, already I'm already reeling from dealing with too
Speaker 2: much weaponized everything.
Speaker 3: What about? So tell me they are healthy?
Speaker 2: Right, there's a Blockbuster study that said it's the fucking
Speaker 2: fountain of youth if you used to eat handfuls of
Speaker 2: Flintstones vitamins as a kid.
Speaker 5: Because we should eat more of them, right Jack.
Speaker 1: The Atlantic just published an article called gummy vitamins are
Speaker 1: just candy the promise of sweet chewy supplements. It's kind
Speaker 1: of a misleading title, to be honest. They say that
Speaker 1: they're virtually indistinguishable. The thing that's bad about them is
Speaker 1: actually so First of all, the reason they taste as
Speaker 1: good as candy, it turns out, is because on average
Speaker 1: they can contain just as much sugar as candy does,
Speaker 1: in some cases more.
Speaker 5: I mean, so far, I feel pretty good about this
Speaker 5: because I think what you're saying is just that gummy
Speaker 5: vitamins are candy, and candy are gummy vitamins.
Speaker 3: By the trans candy.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right. Yeah, basically indistinguishable. And so you can
Speaker 1: start eating candy in the morning.
Speaker 5: Exit Yeah for my B vitamins.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So all right, So one gummy vitamin equals one
Speaker 1: sour patch kid.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 1: Only difference is there is the danger of overdoses, especially
Speaker 1: for children. Since gummy vitamins became a thing, the number
Speaker 1: of overdoses or calls to the Poison Control for pediatric
Speaker 1: melatonin overdoses since have risen five hundred and thirty percent
Speaker 1: over the past decade because these things taste really good
Speaker 1: to just jamming of five hundred and thirty percent over
Speaker 1: the past decade.
Speaker 5: Well, so what I'm hearing is that afy can't have
Speaker 5: more than one but I can't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, yeah, and then just go to sleep for
Speaker 1: two weeks.
Speaker 5: Right, I'm laughing because I don't sleep even if I
Speaker 5: wanted to, I don't.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean right, what is wait?
Speaker 2: What is like a melatonin pediatric melatonin overdose? Even look
Speaker 2: like oh wow, probably.
Speaker 1: Such deep sleep and you have to be like worried.
Speaker 1: I don't know, can't be good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like really like even in hearing that, it's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: pediatric melatonin overdose.
Speaker 3: I'm like, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Speaker 3: hold what.
Speaker 2: First of all, like, are there just like fucking four
Speaker 2: year olds is like slumped like nodding off because they
Speaker 2: pay like hit.
Speaker 3: A half bag of.
Speaker 1: And then you should they just find like a bag
Speaker 1: that's like or you know, they find out that the
Speaker 1: kid has like secretly eaten a bunch of them, Like
Speaker 1: we've had this, but we like caught it when they
Speaker 1: were like two gummy vitamins into what would have been
Speaker 1: a really dangerous situation.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what happens. We have too
Speaker 1: many vitamins out, don't you. Yeah, I think so, But
Speaker 1: I think it's bad, Like I don't think you should
Speaker 1: be and melatonin in particular, like that's the thing that
Speaker 1: puts you to sleep, you probably shouldn't. My experience with
Speaker 1: taking too many sleeping pills is that's not a good thing, right, Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well has some kind of impact on your friendulum.
Speaker 2: Yep, down there, that's right, donated downstairs on your downstairs.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So this one, this is what's interesting to me because
Speaker 1: I had always assumed gummies had the vitamins inside them
Speaker 1: they were like, you know, a gelatine that had been
Speaker 1: formulated with the vitamins mixed in. They are actually oftentimes
Speaker 1: just sprayed with no way no, and it's not there
Speaker 1: very reliable. Like the spraying with vitamins is not a
Speaker 1: reliable way to put like a set amount of vitamins
Speaker 1: on there. And it also like a lot of the
Speaker 1: compounds degrade far faster in gummies.
Speaker 5: Hold on, just pause for a second. Is what you're
Speaker 5: telling me that a vitamin spray exists, that I could
Speaker 5: be just spraying on foods in my mouth like Banaka.
Speaker 1: It seems like it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, does Banaca still exist?
Speaker 3: Did I just did I out myself as not being
Speaker 3: gen Z anymore.
Speaker 5: I don't know what banka is. I'm gen Z.
Speaker 1: I never heard of it. No, never, Oh y'all are
Speaker 1: really leaving me out there like that HiT's different?
Speaker 2: But yeah, that is interesting, Like, yeah, there, I guess
Speaker 2: that would probably be the danger though. You probably people
Speaker 2: would really fuck up if it was like a liquid vitamin.
Speaker 3: They'd be like, yeah, it was seven thousand grams. That
Speaker 3: was like a kilo of Vitamin D. You just hate, right.
Speaker 1: According to an expert, gummy vitamins were the most likely
Speaker 1: formed to contain much more of an ingredient than listed.
Speaker 1: According to Consumer Lab report in twenty twenty three, So,
Speaker 1: of the four gummy supplements reviewed, three contained nearly twice
Speaker 1: as much of the relevant substance as they were supposed to,
Speaker 1: and the fourth contained only around three quarters as much.
Speaker 1: So they looked at four and they were just like
Speaker 1: a big It was just like they were like guessing
Speaker 1: how much of the supplement was in there at any
Speaker 1: given time.
Speaker 2: Hmmm, I wonder it's because it's interesting. Like whenever I
Speaker 2: see something like this too, I'm always like, okay, is
Speaker 2: this like it? Like, is the traditional pressed vitamin industry
Speaker 2: being like, yo, we are fucking getting rocked in the
Speaker 2: market right now by these gummies. And I don't but
Speaker 2: I don't doubt what you're saying based on like what
Speaker 2: I'm reading, because also, like I was just searching right now,
Speaker 2: if you just search our gummy vitamins, the autofill in
Speaker 2: Google just says just candy. Because I think so many
Speaker 2: people are interacting with this Atlantic article. But then there
Speaker 2: was one from twenty twenty two from the Wall Street
Speaker 2: Journal that says gummy vitamins are surging in popularity, but
Speaker 2: are they just glorified candy? And whenever I see some
Speaker 2: of the Wall.
Speaker 1: Street Journal, I'm like, Okay, what's really going on?
Speaker 2: But the more I hear about how they're made, I'm like, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you can't just spray a fucking candy down with vitamins
Speaker 2: spray and then be like, yeah, man, this is all
Speaker 2: you need. These are all your vitamins in one dose.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 2: If you don't know, I'm just not going to stop
Speaker 2: beating flint Flintstones vitamins, That's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 3: Yeah, those are not gum. Those are legit.
Speaker 2: Those are not gummies, So.
Speaker 1: They do have gummy versions, like I would be I
Speaker 1: would definitely be suspicious if gummy vitamins were not made
Speaker 1: by like that, if major makers of vitamins were not
Speaker 1: able to do gummies. But I think anybody can do gummies.
Speaker 3: So it's just yeah, so it sounds.
Speaker 5: Like a little loss because I don't know what the
Speaker 5: flintstones are.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, ship between.
Speaker 5: Guy Poco Melon.
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, miss Rachel, those are kinds of the that's my
Speaker 2: mount rushmore of of media tycoons. Yeah, well yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: old and I was Flinstones Rocks rock Baby Rocks.
Speaker 3: In the eighties like they were fucking kids.
Speaker 5: Also, what kind of guy are we depicting here that
Speaker 5: goes between Flintstones and Banaka?
Speaker 3: Is the weird guy?
Speaker 2: I became obsessed with guy. I just became obsessed with
Speaker 2: Banaka because I think Jim Carrey said it in like
Speaker 2: ace Ventura or something.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah all the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just like but off to the side into
Speaker 2: someone's face. I was like, yo, I need that and
Speaker 2: then they banded at my school.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, my grandma was always talking about ace Ventura's fun.
Speaker 1: There's a timelessness to his comedy.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I wear ugs, and I know.
Speaker 3: That's the only shoe I know, Crocs and ugs.
Speaker 1: Those shoes are shoes.
Speaker 2: No are Yeah, there are Panda dunks, the Nike black
Speaker 2: and white Panda dunks.
Speaker 1: Those are the three shoes. Those are the yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yea yeah. I Meanwhile, I am over here. I did
Speaker 1: pick my cigarette brand based on what the florint stones
Speaker 1: told me it was had the most flavor. And I'm
Speaker 1: also buckling and unbuckling my shoes right now. That's how
Speaker 1: old I am.
Speaker 2: I mean, because I get like, you definitely understand, like
Speaker 2: for gummies, if you have trouble like swallowing pills and
Speaker 2: things like that, then yeah, that's a that's a good
Speaker 2: delivery mechanism for it. But it also just sounds too
Speaker 2: like there is this like whole trend because I feel
Speaker 2: like like Kim car or Courtney Kardashian had like a
Speaker 2: gummy like people just started being like, yeah, I'm in
Speaker 2: the vitamin gum me game, and that's when you're like,
Speaker 2: all right, asshole, Like is this for real or do
Speaker 2: you just be like, yeah, we sprayed these old candies

Speaker 1: I wonder if weed gummies are done the same way,
Speaker 1: like with a spray, because no know that those can
Speaker 1: kind of hit a little harder than people are expecting
Speaker 1: them to.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I mean like you can because
Speaker 2: you can infuse it, like you can just make it
Speaker 2: with like a cannabis infused oil and then put that
Speaker 2: max that with the gelatin or whatever you're using to
Speaker 2: make the gummy and then just let that shit sit
Speaker 2: and then.
Speaker 5: Like the same processing for weed would like kill a
Speaker 5: lot of vitamins.

Speaker 1: the FDA does not have.
Speaker 8: To review it, and so it's just the wild west
Speaker 8: out there that makes no idea what's gonna So yeah,
Speaker 8: I think these kinds of stories are more like a
Speaker 8: warning to the consumer to understand, like, just so y'all
Speaker 8: know people can fuck around with these little gummies that
Speaker 8: you swear.
Speaker 5: I mean that's everything, right, Yeah, yeah, Just.
