WEBVTT - Rust Shooting, Facebook Papers and Other Grim Things 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.120 Welcome to Worst Year Ever, A production of I Heart 0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:26.800 Radio Together everything, So don't don't don't. Oh, I did 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:35.919 my part today. What else is going on? I don't know. 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:38.639 I've done all of my work for the week. Oh good, good, 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:40.520 good job. What are you gonna do with your time now? 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:46.159 I don't know. Maybe fish? What kind of fish? Um? 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.800 I don't know, Like, uh, whatever's whatever's in the creek. 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:52.479 I'll just throw needles in the creek until I get 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:57.680 a trash. Yeah. So you fish by tossing needles like 0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:01.520 like shooting them kind of like like like just throwing 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:04.160 pile handfuls of them, just handfuls of needles into a 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.760 creek until I get a fish. Okay, it's like a 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.040 trap kind of like you put it down and then 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:12.399 hope they swim into the needle. Yeah, they swim into 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.360 the needles. Like how we used to fish, Yeah, like 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:20.280 the old times. Yes, you say, like the ancient ancients. Yeah, 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:22.280 the old days they used to fish with needles. That's 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:27.560 how it works. Yeah, basic anthropology here. Well, it's so 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:31.840 nice that before we've even started recording, you're done with 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.520 your work for the week. That's so nice for you. Yeah, no, 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:40.360 I'm done. All right, Well, you guys have a good recording. 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:45.720 Wait oh wait, wait, wait oh? How was your weekend? 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:51.520 Can I fish too? It was? How was my weekend? 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.360 What did I do? I don't even know? You can 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.280 do a party at my house? I did go to 0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:00.800 a party of your house? Right? How much time is 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:05.480 meaningless to? Yeah? Yeah? How's your weekend? Did you go 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:07.680 to a party at your house? I did? I threw 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.080 a party at my house. It's tiring. It's fun. It 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:15.519 was tiring parties, am I right? Anyway, Sophie, you how 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:17.920 was your weekend? This is fun? This is what people 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.600 tune in for. Right. I got my flu shot and 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.000 then I got a fever, and mom hurt, But I 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:30.120 got my flu shot. She gives me fever. Thanks, fever, fever, 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:35.280 when you touched me fever, when you hold me tight ve. 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.840 My goal is to pety sing songs on most episodes. 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:44.959 Remember when this was a news podcast barely. I've been 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.200 thinking about that. I've been thinking about the evolution of 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:52.160 this show a lot. There's a lot the devolution, that's 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.760 the right term, because now there's a lot of crossover 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.600 between what we're doing in all the various other projects. 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.560 But it's such a nice podcast. Too many pod podcast 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:05.640 But like, I like this group of people, you know, 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.120 and so it's fun. I like talking about the news 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.080 with you guys. But it is interesting to be like, 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:11.520 what are we gonna talk about this week? How do 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.040 we space ou out other other shows? Who has the 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.000 time when we all show up and we're like, hey, 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.239 it's friends that we get to talk to you about chaos? Um, 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.040 But it was I was messaging with Robert at some point. 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:27.400 I don't know. Time is funny like that, um, and 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:31.560 recalling that the original mandate for the show was to 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.920 unpack the election and to travel around and talk to people, 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:40.400 and now I mostly talk to you from I am 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.160 hopeful that we can start to branch out and do 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:48.440 some projects here like that. Maybe one day you guys 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:52.080 want to talk quickly about the giant tungsten cube. Um, 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:56.680 you go more than anything. So I got no plans. 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:02.560 In the crypto world, oh, a minor tungsten shortage, at 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.360 least within one or two companies, has been caused because, 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.440 for reasons of basically just a meme, crypto bros have 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.600 been buying tungsten cubes. Tungsten is an extremely dense metal 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:14.440 you make like army piercing amm o out of it. 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.640 For one thing, because like a little bit of tungsten, 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.159 like a four inch tungsten tungsten cube, it's like forty pounds. 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.560 It's just like a weird dense metal. Some people have 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.000 been buying cubes just because they think it's neat, and 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.880 it became kind of a crypto meme, and so this company, 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.719 Midwest Tungsten, decided to capitalize on it by making the 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:37.560 biggest tungsten cube they possibly could, which was like, I want, 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:42.320 I'm trying to look at the it's it's uh fourteen 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:47.880 inches UM around and it weighs almost two thousand pounds UM, 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.720 and they wanted there. They're selling it, but because it's 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.599 would be a nightmare to actually move anywhere, they're not 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:55.960 really selling it. They're selling it as an n f 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.680 T UM starting at two grand. It will probably go 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:03.760 for much for millions UM. But you don't actually own 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.240 the cube. But if you buy the cube as an 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.640 n F t you can come see it once a 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:12.640 year at their off time share. Yeah. Well, no, only 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.039 one person gets to see it once a year, and 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.240 if you later sell it, if that person is already 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.159 visited and touched the cube earlier that year. You can't 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:24.400 do it for a whole other year. Don't understand. I'm 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.520 going to be honest, and I'm sure a lot of 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.480 people will lose respect for me. I don't understand it. 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:35.080 It don't understand. I don't I don't understand bitcoin mining. 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:39.640 I don't understand. Okay, So here's what you need to understand. 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.080 If you man in illegal drugs, or if you made 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.159 it and you just want to avoid taxes on it, 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.760 if you've committed a bunch of crimes and you need 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.480 a way to like kind of wash and scrub your 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.479 laundry your money the way you would like your laundry, 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:57.400 you can use crypto to do that. And that's that's why. 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.120 That's what all of these like Giant Crypto Transaction are 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:04.240 a somebody trying to launder money. Um, it's it's it's 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.400 all a big fucking sketchy grift propped up by a 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.479 handful of true believers and a bunch of more people 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.960 who recognize that pretending to be true believers is a 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:16.039 great way to keep a pretty good money laundering scheme going. 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.440 Um So that's all I need to understand. Yeah, it's 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:22.479 not nothing else matters. Um. We did a two parter 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.160 about it that will come out that everyone's going to 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.760 find as frustrating as I found researching it. But it's 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:31.360 it's just dumb and it's it's stupid. Um uh yep 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:40.240 on Bastards or shows on Bastards. I read a Yeah, 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:45.120 it's it's just all dumb. But the fucking yeah, it's 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.480 sucking cube. It's just like it's the fucking cube. Yeah, good, 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.640 good for you guys. Like that's what you want to do. 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.520 And that's what because like money is stupid and fake. 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.560 It is it always is, like currency is fiat currency. 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:00.600 That's why I like the fucking pressure metal. People are 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.400 just like, Okay, well what's gold worth? Really? What's gold worth? 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:08.960 Like making a space suit? Then gold's worth nothing like exactly, 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:13.240 so like so like whatever whatever there and this kind 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:14.760 of like points to that. So in a way, I'm like, 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:20.920 good for you guys, You're you're illustrating how stupid money is. Um. 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:27.120 But maybe the cube isn't worth it. Yeah, maybe the 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.760 cube isn't worth it. Maybe the fucking terrible ape drawings 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.559 aren't worth it. Maybe the the the automatically generated lion 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.560 pictures aren't worth hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.600 Maybe it's all very dumb, but at the same time, 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.400 if people will pay for something, that's what it's worth, 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.239 because that's how capitalism works, which is why Tim Pool 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:50.800 owns a big house so and Hassan owns a big 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:54.880 house too. It's it's whatever, it's how, it's the entire 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.400 it's the system we live under. The two genders Hassan 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:01.400 and the reality is that in ft are really really dumb, 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.080 but also when you really think about it, not inherently 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:12.000 dumber than in the rest of currency. It's it's a sideshow. Yeah, 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:19.000 David read David Graber's debt the first five thousand years, Um, 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:23.000 I have to. Yeah, you'll like it's actually written, it's 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:26.080 it's it will clear up an enormous amount of important 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.040 questions you have about the way that currency works. And 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:33.640 it's also very well written because David Graber was a genius. Um, 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.360 I'm either getting less smart smart or I'm just so 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.079 oversaturated that it's hard to sit down and read things. 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.240 But that's the recommendation, and I'll do it. You have 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:46.320 to force yourself to rece myself to do everything. Robert, 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.400 so do I. Sophie will tell you the only thing 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:53.160 human condition. Yeah, the human condition. I thought, being an adult, 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:58.120 it would be better than this, just the problem with 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.200 the only difference. When I was a kid, there was 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:04.440 somebody else making me do stuff, and so it was 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:09.400 easier than it. Now I gotta go read a goddamn 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:15.000 book because I used to have so much fucking ability 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:18.360 to focus on books. And yeah, now I have to 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:22.600 read like three at a time in order to read one. Yeah, 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.240 it's really hard. It's a d h D is what 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.920 it probably is. Yeah, but my a d h D 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.400 medicine doesn't seem to help. It just makes me ready 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:34.079 to go garden instead. It makes me really ready to 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.840 focus on anything other than the thing I have to do. 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:44.120 Gardening is vastly better anyway. We've we've drifted from and 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:48.040 I blame myself. Tokyo. We've drifted. We've Tokyo drifted away 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:52.400 from the the cube, the cube, the cube. We've we've 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:59.920 cube stopped gleaning the cube, romancing the cube, romancing the 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:04.760 square stone, romancing the cube. Once a year, Yeah, once 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:11.960 a year. In a supervised visit, only one trending on 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:17.320 Twitter at the fucking cube. Yeah, i'd better be I mean, 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:21.360 actually one trending. Yeah, we'll talk. I guess we should 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:26.400 talk about that. Now, go ahead about I know you 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:31.040 you want to do this only in theory. We talked 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:34.040 about it last week and again we're a culture show. 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:38.160 Now we only we talk about movies. Can we talk 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.920 about succession later? Because I'm finally yes, we may? Um? 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.080 Is he? Well, so, I guess my question is is 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:48.000 Timpole trending because of his additional thread on squid Game 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:52.199 or is it about his tweets about Dune yesterday. It's 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:57.199 a good question. Let's both are silly. It's probably both. Yeah, 0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:01.239 Timpoles just a very funny little character. Um, and sometimes 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:03.880 is he doing a character? Is he? Oh? Here? It is? Okay. 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:07.000 It's surprising that people who think a show about people 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:10.160 being forced into equality stand in food lines where they 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:13.560 are underfed and used as fodder for the elites does 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:17.000 not represent communism in any way. If squid Game was 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:20.360 about capitalism, then rich people would start off disadvantage and 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:26.240 not equal to the other players advantaged. Whatever. The rich 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.040 people aren't aren't playing in the squid Game, are there? 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.320 Here's the thing. Here's the thing, And I'm not gonna 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.680 spoil anything. Um, I don't know who's hurt. Who's watched 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:38.080 it all, not watched it all. You don't watch I 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.120 have to catch up on Succession. That's fine. I can't 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:44.040 watch squid Game before I can watch Dude. That's fine. 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.000 I'm not gonna spoil anything. Um. The statement if Squid 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.000 Game was about capitalism and rich people would start off 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.240 advantage and not equal to the the other players. First of all, 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.520 Tim finished the show to finish the fucking show. Watched 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.200 to the end of the fucking show. Tim. Second of all, 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.520 they're all in debt. That's the plot to the show. 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:06.079 They're all in massive debt. So there are that's the 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.320 plot of the show. They're all they're all in massive debt, 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:11.480 and they're and they have to play the squid Game. 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:16.319 So so what's your point, Tim? But um, and this 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:20.720 is not I just some players would have inherited advantages 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.520 toward winning the money. First of all, Tim, they kind 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.480 of do. Second of all, there are games in the 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:31.520 squid Game that is set up like a race, and 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.840 there are some people in the front that start, and 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.880 there's some people in the back and it's presented as 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:40.000 being an equal game, even though you can literally look 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.319 and it's not. Physically you can see that it's not 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.520 equal because they're not all starting at the same time. 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.679 It's just very silly. Um and he closes this threat 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.000 out by saying, there are critiques of capitalism if you 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:56.360 try hard enough. And again, first of all, there's an 0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:02.080 episode I'm I'm trying Katie close your ears. The second episode. 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:06.120 The second episode spoilers. The second episode they leave the 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.600 squid games. They're like, oh wow, the squid games are dangerous. Well, 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.040 we're all gonna die, so they leave, and then the 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:14.240 second episode is them going back to the capitalist world. 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.560 They're all in debt, they're all miserable, everyone around them 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:20.000 is going to die. The episode is called Hell, and 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.800 they go back to the games for the rest of 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:28.000 the show. Yeah you can, you can, you can put 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:29.880 your yes, you can put your headphones back on. It's 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:33.679 just so silly to pretend like, if you try hard enough, 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:35.920 they're critiques. No, they are very specific critiques of it. 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.520 You can misinterpret it all you want, but you can't 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:41.880 claim that that. You have to try very hard to 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:45.080 get to that critique. Even Ben Shapiro today did a 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:49.200 whole video reviewing squid Game, and he's like, it's about 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:53.480 how communism is good, and like, I mean kind of 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:58.800 like not but they specifically attack North Korea in it too. Yeah, no, yes, 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.199 And and also like by critiquing like all the problems 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.880 with capitalism, you're not inherently saying like communism is good, 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.840 Like that's not how it works. Um. So Like even 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.199 then he's it's like not a very good review, but 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:16.199 he at least says it's a good show. It's politics 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.360 are bad. He gives it a seven out of ten 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.960 for watchability and a one out of ten for politics. 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.760 So like, at the bare minimum, you have to be 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:27.760 able to recognize what the show is. Um. And it's 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.560 just very silly. It doesn't matter. None of this matters. 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:34.520 I don't know why I care so much. Um, it's 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:41.600 just like dislike disingenuous grifters. It's kind of thing. I 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:44.280 don't know if disingenuous or not, like part of it. 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.360 Just like, do you think is this how you think? 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:50.160 I think is how you absorb media? He does? I 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.120 think that. I think it's his tribalism. Of here's another 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.960 thing that I can say us versus them, here's another 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.120 way that I can like just argue against you. I 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:03.440 I do think that this is um purposeful ignorance. I 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.840 don't know, I won I guess so, like because even 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.080 like with Done, he's like, I didn't like it was 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:12.920 boring and slow, and I fell asleep a bunch and 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:16.240 didn't even finish it and it's bad, and like, even 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.760 that is so silly to me. First of all, it's 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.600 not a slow movie. I don't understand that critique. It's 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:26.880 like it's pretty uh engaging the entire time. But it's 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:32.320 the kind of thing where he can't come up with like, oh, 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.560 it's like it's woke, so I'm gonna talk about it. 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.120 So he has to fall back on like I didn't 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:41.560 watch it was boring, um, which you totally could because 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:47.680 it is woke, like from the sixties, like sixties woke ism. 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:51.000 But like they're very clear themes that he's talking about. Yeah, 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:55.120 I mean, the overall theme of the of the books 0:15:55.240 --> 0:16:00.600 is that number one, colonialism inherently destroys everything, not just 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:05.680 the colonized, but the colonizers. That heroes are a trap 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:10.960 uh and inherently uh. Just the concept is inherently destructive 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:16.320 and that given enough time, the oppressed will become the oppressors. Uh, 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:18.360 there's a lot going on in Dune. All of it 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.680 is in fact very woke because Frank Herbert ate his 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.960 body weight in psychedelic mushrooms while wandering the Oregon Dunes 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:28.320 every month. Uh that's what That's what the other parts 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:32.920 of the bookers are about, Like, um, big mushrooms fan 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:40.000 is a huge mushrooms fan, spice um. And it's just yeah, 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:42.880 it's very silly, like because you could watch that movie 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:46.240 and go the s j w's got to Dune. We 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:50.680 would be inaccurate because it's always been Dune. But like 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:53.400 it's just like if you can't. I've even seen people 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.760 like oh it's boring, Like they cast they cast as 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:59.320 black woman as his character's not and then like they 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:03.400 reply back to their uh their threaded like I saw 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:05.600 it as a really good is faithful and like beautiful 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:07.159 stuff and she did a great job. Like yeah, you 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:11.520 just want to get mad, like they the book where 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:16.400 the first special Boy hero counts how many people he's 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:19.639 murdered in multiples of Hitler and then kills himself and 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:26.760 his son becomes a giant worm. Like, it's just I 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:28.879 haven't participated in much of this because I took my 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:31.160 headphones off for a while and never quite caught up. 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:35.200 I think this is a perfect time for some products 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:40.639 and services in the other things that we've definitely figured 0:17:40.640 --> 0:18:03.680 out already together. Everything area are and we are not 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:08.560 talking about movies or TV anymore, right or all about 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:13.480 that time Alec Baldwin killed that lady. Yeah, this is 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:17.119 we really should have led with this um segment, but 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:21.320 it's actually so it's awful. It's hard to lead from 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.960 jokes straight into this story. But yeah, the headline is 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:31.560 that Alec Baldwin accidentally shot and killed their DP. Yeah, 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.960 the the you know that meme where it's like the 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:39.920 galaxy brains, the brains going bigger, Like the tiniest brain 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:44.080 version of this is Alec Baldwin killed somebody, and then 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:49.760 the medium one is actually the armor on set killed somebody, 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:53.360 and then the biggest galaxy brain is actually Alec Baldwin 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:55.879 helped to kill somebody because he was the producer on 0:18:55.920 --> 0:19:00.240 a movie that deliberately cut corners leading to this person's death. 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.919 In the series of yeah, there's there's a lot to 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:08.040 go over here, there's the rights reaction, there's what's happening, 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:11.280 what happened on set. There is what happened on set 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:16.199 against the backdrop of the IoTs negotiations. Um, it's a 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:20.639 lot and it's been hard. You know, I I Cody 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:21.960 and I both know a lot of people in the 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:25.720 entertainment industry. You guys do too, You've lived here, but 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:30.480 this has just really hit everybody pretty hard. So as 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:33.720 most people probably are aware or maybe aren't of the 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:40.119 little details. Um. This set was a somewhat low budget set, 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:44.960 I guess comparatively speaking, but not really, but they mean 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.919 still tons of money. Um, but they were rushing to 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:52.960 get production done, especially in case IoTs did strike. Uh. 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:58.960 They're halfway through this shoot. There had been multiple multiple 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:04.240 instances of gun of safety concerns, three misfires I think 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:09.880 three missfires with this one gun in the week prior. Um. 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:14.000 Uh even outside of that, they the crew had been 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:17.920 promised accommodations near set, but instead, once they arrived, they 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:21.360 were told that they would be housed fifty miles away. 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.440 So they are driving back and forth fifty miles every 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:28.359 day to set and schedule and safety concerns and the 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:33.080 morning of the accident. I don't know have the number 0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:35.399 in front of me, but the majority of the crew, 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:41.480 camera crew walked off, walked off set UM as well 0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:44.720 as yes, the armorers, the people that the props masters 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:49.280 had left UM. And so instead of meeting the demands 0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:53.480 of their crew or you know, being responsible, they brought 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:58.199 in local non union props masters and an armorer. And 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:00.240 I feel very bad for this young armor and I 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:02.440 don't feel very bad. I have to see the I 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:05.280 I'm sure this is a horrifying moment for these people 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:10.000 that were these non careers and she's young and you know, 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:13.199 been brought in for this opportunity, and they're being rushed 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:18.680 as well. Like I, Ultimately, the responsibility does lie with production, 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:21.000 and it lies with the a D. The a D 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:26.679 who apparently had been fired from other sets for the 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:34.119 same thing, like actually on another set of his and 0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:37.320 he has been known as the guy that comes in 0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:40.560 when the real a D leaves, when people leave because 0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:42.240 of it. He's willing to come in and do what 0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:46.000 it takes. And the a D, if you guys don't know, 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:51.879 is the assistant director. And it's not about directing UM 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:55.520 the action on camera. It's basically running the set. Your 0:21:55.640 --> 0:21:58.919 a D is the person running the safety. Every a 0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:04.919 D I've worked with is militant about safety, and they 0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:07.480 run the whole cruise. So the buck does stop there. 0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:10.520 But even more than that, the buck stops at the producers, 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:13.520 I e. Alec Baldwin, who hired this person and made 0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:17.120 that choice. And I'm I am so fucking furious, And yes, 0:22:17.160 --> 0:22:19.280 I feel terrible for him, because my god, you have 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:21.080 to live with that for the rest of your life. 0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:26.320 But also, yeah, you have to live with this for 0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:28.960 the rest of your life. Yeah, I mean it's it's 0:22:29.000 --> 0:22:31.960 there's so much that went horribly wrong that shouldn't have 0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:34.440 back in our cracked days. I interviewed somebody who was 0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:38.600 like one of the most well known armorers in uh 0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:41.040 in Hollywood. Like he's he's worked with Keanu Reeves, he's 0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:43.119 worked with like Tom Cruise, like he's one of he 0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:47.240 not not just like provides Union armors, but also provides weapons. 0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:51.600 And when you have those people who are like the 0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:56.880 proper iotsy armors, it's been decades since a fatal incident 0:22:57.000 --> 0:22:59.560 with a firearm as a result of like a Union armor. 0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:03.679 Um God, I think like maybe a D sometimes the 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:05.879 eighties is the last one I remember hearing about. And 0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:09.080 it's because they have all of these different redundancies. Like, 0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:11.439 for one thing, when you're doing a scene like this, 0:23:11.560 --> 0:23:15.000 Number one, the barrel of the of the of the 0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:17.840 functional firearm is never supposed to be pointed at a person. 0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:20.119 Even in scenes when it looks like that's happening, you 0:23:20.160 --> 0:23:22.800 have like the you have it canted to some way, 0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:26.200 especially since like they're pointing at a camera right, which 0:23:26.240 --> 0:23:28.240 is a dangerous set. But number one, you make sure 0:23:28.320 --> 0:23:30.520 the barrel is not pointed directly at a person. That's 0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:34.240 an armorer's job. And number two, even if the barrel 0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:36.159 isn't supposed to be pointed directly at a person, you 0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:39.879 have a sheet of bulletproof plexiglass in between the camera 0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:42.600 and the gun. Um there's a bunch of ships that's 0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:45.280 supposed Like for one thing, the way the transfer of 0:23:45.280 --> 0:23:47.320 the gun was done, the a D just picked it 0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:50.000 up and said cold weapon and handed it to Baldwin. 0:23:51.160 --> 0:23:53.959 Number one, the a D is never, ever, ever, fucking 0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:57.200 ever supposed to put a gun, a functional firearm in 0:23:57.240 --> 0:23:59.399 the hands of an actor. That is the job of 0:23:59.440 --> 0:24:01.840 the armor And when the armorers does it, he is 0:24:01.880 --> 0:24:05.159 supposed to open the cylinder or drop the magazine, whichever 0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:08.280 kind of weapon it is, and show you down the barrel. 0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:11.440 The actor is supposed to look down the barrel and see, Okay, 0:24:11.480 --> 0:24:13.760 there is nothing in this gun. This is not a 0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:16.919 loaded firearm, in order to know that it's a cold weapon. 0:24:17.560 --> 0:24:20.840 Another like, the most fucked up thing about this is 0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:23.920 that it is now coming out so one. For one thing, 0:24:24.200 --> 0:24:26.480 there are some situations in which you might use a 0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:30.159 live round like a functional bullet as opposed to a 0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:33.480 blank UM, and a blank is pretty close to a 0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:35.560 live round, it just doesn't have like a full bullet 0:24:35.640 --> 0:24:38.360 on the end. Um. There are some situations in which 0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:41.080 you would fire a live round from a gun UM 0:24:41.320 --> 0:24:43.679 on a movie set, but you would never keep the 0:24:43.680 --> 0:24:47.080 blanks and the live functional bullets in the same place. 0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:49.560 They were kept in the same place next to each 0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:51.600 other in the case of this. And what's come out 0:24:51.640 --> 0:24:54.320 now is that members of the crew were going out 0:24:54.400 --> 0:24:57.760
