Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Who
Speaker 1: Is a Rodent trend Mm hmmm, alternately who is a
Speaker 1: road trend Man? But that I feel like that would
Speaker 1: be hard to understand in a title Objeck that is
Speaker 1: miles bees are some things that are trending on this
Speaker 1: Wednesday afternoon?
Speaker 2: Wow? Okay, a little musical little yeah, shout out to you.
Speaker 1: So there is an article making the rounds from the
Speaker 1: New York Times.
Speaker 2: Oh well, yeah, the Gray Lady.
Speaker 1: So you've seen all the President's men, like everybody's all
Speaker 1: self serious in a newsroom, like smoking cigarettes, being like,
Speaker 1: we got to break the rodent man's story.
Speaker 2: So this is is like.
Speaker 3: A humanoid that's hunting that's been seen in the background.
Speaker 1: Of pictures like Thefman prophecy. Yeah, no, this is basically
Speaker 1: they've taken everybody knew somebody grown up though that people
Speaker 1: were like, okay, rat boy because they had big ears
Speaker 1: or you know, a certain face shape and.
Speaker 3: Know nothing about big ears.
Speaker 2: Yeah they neither.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they have taken that and been like, okay, uh,
Speaker 1: what if instead of calling them rat boy, which they
Speaker 1: don't seem to like, called them a rodent man. And
Speaker 1: that is so Basically this comes back to when I
Speaker 1: heard that it was this thing that was trending and
Speaker 1: that it was like people who it's like a.
Speaker 2: New type of hot guy. Yeah, rodent man.
Speaker 1: I immediately thought of the dark haired guy from Challengers.
Speaker 1: Did you see Challengers?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, the curly haired, dark haired guy.
Speaker 3: I feel like they're both rat boys.
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't see it for the other guy,
Speaker 1: but he is listed O'Connor. I think a rodent man,
Speaker 1: no rat boy. I am rodent man.
Speaker 3: I think Mike faced or whatever.
Speaker 4: That dude also he has he has like they're I
Speaker 4: don't know, he might one's a gray rat.
Speaker 2: The other is like a little mountain rat. He's like
Speaker 2: yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: So but yeah, that dude definitely got I guess what
Speaker 4: we're calling hot rat face.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hot rat face. People were trying to put it on.
Speaker 1: Jeremy Allen White from Uh the Bear called it the rat.
Speaker 2: Definitely.
Speaker 1: It's like all different actors who could, with just make
Speaker 1: up effects star in a live action remake of an
Speaker 1: American tale, Fible Goes West.
Speaker 3: Willem Dafoe is I guess also they considered that.
Speaker 1: Find a picture of most people that will be like, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I see it.
Speaker 4: I mean sey, wait, they're really calling Seamoulu a rat
Speaker 4: guy too.
Speaker 3: He's a rat boy too.
Speaker 1: So the thing, the thing that defied winds it is
Speaker 1: face angularity. They have to so it's important for their
Speaker 1: According to Gina Cherlus of The New York Times, it's
Speaker 1: important for their faces to be angular.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: That's the dead giveaway. That and big ears.
Speaker 1: They come off as edgy and elusive just based on
Speaker 1: that face and ear shape. So you can't have a
Speaker 1: chiseled face like Brad Pitt or Chris Emsworth. So another
Speaker 1: person INJW Pack says that it's sort of fanning too wide.
Speaker 1: Like Johnny Depp has been called a rat boy. I
Speaker 1: don't feel that. But Kieran Colkin, on the other hand,
Speaker 1: I could see him playing a little Mouseka, well you're
Speaker 1: a little ass, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: What about Barry what's his face from Saltburn? He also
Speaker 4: counts as a rat Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: The most what about Adams Driver?
Speaker 2: Adam Driver?
Speaker 1: Because I thought the dark haired guy from Challengers was
Speaker 1: basically they were like, wait, we can't get Adam Driver.
Speaker 1: But he's in all of these types of movies. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's go with the other guy who I thought wonderful
Speaker 1: by the way, Josh O'Connor.
Speaker 3: Yeah he was great.
Speaker 2: He was great, But.
Speaker 1: Didn't he like don't you feel like he is of
Speaker 1: the same facial.
Speaker 3: There? Like yo, make Stewart.
Speaker 4: Little kind of pop in and.
Speaker 3: Then you get him. I get it. He has like
Speaker 3: the sort of if you like, blurry your eyes.
Speaker 4: And the way a child would draw a mouse or
Speaker 4: something is like big looping ears and some kind of
Speaker 4: pointy face.
Speaker 2: Rider would draw Adam Driver. I feel like, like I
Speaker 2: get that.
Speaker 4: It said like with like affection, but just like reducing
Speaker 4: like humans to rodents is little uh but I get
Speaker 4: this is this is how the kids they're expressing their love. Hey,
Speaker 4: I'm the year of the rat, so yeah, I'll take it.
Speaker 4: I've always been down with rats. I feel like rat
Speaker 4: culture has been here for a while and maybe this
Speaker 4: is now we're just talking about how cool rats are.
Speaker 1: Some people some important questions raised in the article, like
Speaker 1: so all you're gonna say rodents man, I guess because
Speaker 1: you want to be nice and not ratman. So saying
Speaker 1: rodent man, does this apply to all types of rodents?
Speaker 1: Because in this case, Jesse Plemons might be a beaver type.
Speaker 1: You know, Oh wow, Jesse Clemons.
Speaker 2: Is a beaver.
Speaker 1: I a little a little fact about me, I would say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say William Dafoe is a snake, like in
Speaker 1: a bad way.
Speaker 3: No, No, you're now you're bringing your personal relationship with Willam.
Speaker 1: That motherfucker is a snake and he will snake you
Speaker 1: on a business deal. If you try and open a
Speaker 1: mini golf course with Willem Dafoe, he will don't fuck you.
Speaker 2: Miles.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could honestly talk to anybody for like five
Speaker 1: hours about what animal every different person is.
Speaker 2: It's not it's interesting to me.
Speaker 3: Have you looked at your own face and you're like,
Speaker 3: I'm a bit of a what so?
Speaker 1: But he once told me I was a deer or
Speaker 1: a bear, and I can see that.
Speaker 3: Little predator prey spectrum.
Speaker 2: I like, yeah, my.
Speaker 1: Eyes are very forward facing, so I would say, uh,
Speaker 1: they're they're like kind of close together, So sure, I
Speaker 1: guess that would be.
Speaker 4: I feel like anytime someone was referred to me looking
Speaker 4: like an animal, it's had some kind of racial undertone.
Speaker 4: So I typically don't remember what that is, nor do
Speaker 4: I seek to be compared to an animal.
Speaker 3: But I do embrace my ratness.
Speaker 4: I like being ratty like, but in my own way,
Speaker 4: it's really nothing to do with rats.
Speaker 3: It's like just sort of like a vibe.
Speaker 1: You resist animal comparison. Actually you don't have a clear
Speaker 1: animal corollary.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 4: That means actually that means a lot to me. Man,
Speaker 4: you're spamming the chat. You're like this full straight up
Speaker 4: rat dude.
Speaker 3: But like, do you.
Speaker 4: Remember it's funny that this kind of has maybe this
Speaker 4: predates it, but I don't know if you remember. In
Speaker 4: the other two there's like I think it's in season
Speaker 4: two where Wanda Sykes is talking about how Chase dreams
Speaker 4: like he's looking on disheveled and and they're like, what's
Speaker 4: going on. I'm just like, oh, yeah, this is part
Speaker 4: of his shitty little rat face.
Speaker 3: So I know that being kind of like scruffy ratty, yeah,
Speaker 3: is kind of like a way to describe someone.
Speaker 1: But like the character Chase Stream is like based on Bieber,
Speaker 1: So there's like all sorts of like little details about like.
Speaker 3: Through his little shitty little rat face, you know, he's
Speaker 3: still kind of in it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then he hits eighteen and has to release
Speaker 1: a uh an arm pit photo like it's right, the
Speaker 1: hot thing is to have a photo where he's showing
Speaker 1: his armpit to people.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I love that episode anyways.
Speaker 1: That's so that's mostly what we're talking about.
Speaker 2: Uh there, there's other.
Speaker 1: Things happening, and there was Kevin Spacey cried about his
Speaker 1: money problems on uh peer. Here's Morgan's uncensored YouTube. So
Speaker 1: he just has a YouTube show now, Piers Morgan.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he did a really cool long look this motherfucker
Speaker 4: is He stays acting because like one of these questions
Speaker 4: about like yeah, you're like, hey man, how's it been,
Speaker 4: And he does just like this long pause and cries.
Speaker 3: Here he can. I'm sorry to subject you to the
Speaker 3: sound of Kevin Spacey's voice, but unfortunately it's relevant in
Speaker 3: this moment. He's holding back to you. Oh head down, sniffles.
Speaker 3: Oh well, it's funny you asked that question because this
Speaker 3: week where I have been living in Baltimore is being
Speaker 3: foreclosed on. My house is being sold at auction. And
Speaker 3: he goes on, He's like, you know, I have to
Speaker 3: put my stuff.
Speaker 1: In storage and living on Baltimore that if you had
Speaker 1: given me twenty different things as to what city Kevin
Speaker 1: Spacey was looking.
Speaker 3: It was not Baltimore, but Paltimore.
Speaker 2: Baltimore would be.
Speaker 4: He said it coincided with him doing House of Cars
Speaker 4: and then he never left.
Speaker 3: But yeah, he's claiming. He's like, I've been ruined, yeah,
Speaker 3: with all my legal drub balls for fucking groping an
Speaker 3: assaulting people.
Speaker 1: He was like, damn, Alex Jones got a lot of
Speaker 1: heat for pretending to cry on a shitty YouTube show.
Speaker 2: Maybe I should do that.
Speaker 3: He's like, let me try to use alligator tea real quick,
Speaker 3: crocodile tea.
Speaker 1: Like Alex Jones did a little bit better of a
Speaker 1: job acting than Kevin Spacey in this one, like Vince Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: because I don't think Alex Jones realized, Like Alex Jones
Speaker 1: is like in this fog of like you know, narrative
Speaker 1: k fabe, Like am I a real person? Am I
Speaker 1: this character I play? So he's just it's all like happening.
Speaker 1: It's just this cloud of like wild shit happening inside
Speaker 1: his head. So I don't know if he knew he
Speaker 1: was faking crying in that video, whereas Kevin Spacey's definitely like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, you know this is this is just acting.
Speaker 3: It's and some one of his worst performances. I gotta say,
Speaker 3: it's also the context when you have you're a transgressor
Speaker 3: and you're begging for forgiveness and you do the crying shit,
Speaker 3: you just you just basically what all we can do
Speaker 3: is see you in the pattern of men who have
Speaker 3: committed crimes and try and cry their way out of it.
Speaker 4: Like it always has the same feel like when Art
Speaker 4: was like I'm fighting for my life, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean?
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, huh, we get it, we get it.
Speaker 2: Damn man, that must suck. Yeah, that sucks.
Speaker 3: Dude. What all right?
Speaker 1: You know what, let's let's call it. Let's get Kevin
Speaker 1: Spacey back in the middle. Like what did he think
Speaker 1: we we're going to think about this video?
Speaker 3: Well, he clarified you know what his behavior was.
Speaker 2: I think it was part of this Like that's wild.
Speaker 1: He was continues to be completely unaccountable for his behaviors.
Speaker 1: I Okay, maybe I was pushing the boundaries like you know,
Speaker 1: a modern artist, or you know, maybe I was a
Speaker 1: little too hands y. Yeah what never anyone, I just
Speaker 1: caressed them and apparently they didn't want me to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was like, Grop's kind of like a weird word.
Speaker 3: It's like, dude, shut up, also pushing them of what
Speaker 3: of what consent is? Like what are you even fucking
Speaker 3: talking about?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I love like having to reframe it as if like noah, man,
Speaker 3: I'm just like it's kind of on the fringes, you know,
Speaker 3: of like what's legal?
Speaker 1: You know, I'm up on stuard when it comes to
Speaker 1: respecting other people's bodily autonomy and uh sexuality.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I'm like the basque yah of consent.
Speaker 1: What it's It is interesting, Like I feel like he
Speaker 1: has this concerted strategy in his brain where he's like,
Speaker 1: what is the thing I'm good at. It's acting and
Speaker 1: I'm going to act my way out of this bitch.
Speaker 1: And so he's done those weird like YouTube videos annually
Speaker 1: where he's like, let me be Frank and he like
Speaker 1: just plays that character. Yeah, but those videos all come
Speaker 1: across like he's taunting the public like a Bond villain.
Speaker 1: He's just being like unapologetic and being like you love it,
Speaker 1: you love out here fucking being a pervert. You need
Speaker 1: me sexually assaulting people, that's.
Speaker 2: What you need.
Speaker 3: He's in isn't he in some fuck? Wasn't he in
Speaker 3: a movie recently? And I was like, God, yeah, I
Speaker 3: really don't know how to quit these people.
Speaker 2: I don't know was he really? That's why?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like he wasn't something He was in
Speaker 4: something called control in twenty twenty three. He's uh, he's
Speaker 4: like managed to kind of like appear and shit.
Speaker 1: But he is the most canceled of the canceled people
Speaker 1: because he, like, you know, Louis k can still go
Speaker 1: out and like selling a comedy theater, but this motherfucker
Speaker 1: needs people to put him in movies to have a career.
Speaker 2: And oh that's right.
Speaker 3: He did that video with Tucker Carlson. I almost forgot, yeah,
Speaker 3: but it was like a bit where he was being
Speaker 3: Frank Underwood from House of.
Speaker 2: Cards with yeah, yeah, his wife being best friend.
Speaker 3: Nothing. Nothing says, guys, I'm I'm a decent person than
Speaker 3: doing a character bit with Tucker Carlson over the holidays.
Speaker 1: Nothing more impressive than a canceled person trying to go
Speaker 1: right and like failings really hard to fail. But what
Speaker 1: is Kevin Spacely gonna do from this point? Like he
Speaker 1: doesn't really have a skill set that lends itself to
Speaker 1: like right wing grifting, like nobody's gonna buy you know,
Speaker 1: nutraceuticals from because Kevin Spacey told them to.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Peter five eight is a film that came out this
Speaker 4: year that he's the titular Peter.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a movie from the like k Pax era,
Speaker 1: you know, Peter eight where it turns out Kevin space
Speaker 1: he's an alien and also maybe Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3: Now this one, he's just a guy with a bad
Speaker 3: hair piece and a gun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break. We'll come
Speaker 1: back and talk to you about a lucrative new black
Speaker 1: market for taco bell art.
Speaker 2: And we're back.
Speaker 1: And when you think of art heist, you probably picture
Speaker 1: Pierce Brosnan using a glass cutter break into fancy museum.
Speaker 4: Yeah, or what's the one with Catherine Data Jones and
Speaker 4: the lasers entrapment Entrapment, Ye, yes, so many lasers.
Speaker 3: Gotta have lasers. Anyway, there's definitely lasers.
Speaker 1: They drove the trope of like disappearing a train going
Speaker 1: buy and you disappear. They drove that shiit into the
Speaker 1: ground in that movie Entrapman, to the point that it's
Speaker 1: like a bit at the end where they just keep
Speaker 1: like doing that. That's how they flirt, is like disappearing behind.
Speaker 2: Tin trains, guys, sexy. You can do that once in
Speaker 2: a movie.
Speaker 1: You can't do it like five times, because then we
Speaker 1: start to have to picture Sean Connery being like lightning
Speaker 1: fast yeah somehow, or.
Speaker 4: Dislocating his shoulder every time he tries to grab the
Speaker 4: train as it speeds by.
Speaker 1: Girl.
Speaker 3: Fuck oh got it.
Speaker 1: So that's probably what you picture. I picture a random
Speaker 1: dude rolling up to a taco bell dumpster and loading
Speaker 1: up some old taco bell art. Ye stolen taco bell art. Baby,
Speaker 1: this is so funny, man, Like, do you remember these paintings?
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean vaguely, Like when I saw them, I'm like,
Speaker 4: oh yeah, okay, I remember when like they try to
Speaker 4: do the glow up inside the taco bell and like
Speaker 4: leave their like yellow and brown color way scheme that
Speaker 4: they had through like the nineties and shit. Yea, but yeah,
Speaker 4: apparently like these paintings by Mark Smith, people are just
Speaker 4: fucking going at like they're not even a writ like
Speaker 4: they're just printed, they're just prints that the art not
Speaker 4: that great.
Speaker 1: So yeah, he his whole pitch to them was like
Speaker 1: I'm going to class up the inside of your taco
Speaker 1: bell with these prints of like his style is bosquiot like,
Speaker 1: like he seems to be. Yes, he seems to be
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, channel that sort of vibe. And
Speaker 1: instead of like putting the prints on a poster that
Speaker 1: they're like stretched on a canvas and so it like
Speaker 1: kind of makes taco bells seem classy. Uh, But they're
Speaker 1: popular basically purely for nostalgic reasons, right, But there is
Speaker 1: people are coming up on like people who have renovated
Speaker 1: taco bells, for instance, are managing to get these out
Speaker 1: on the black market, and they're selling for like thousands
Speaker 1: of dollars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, seven fifty and a thousand bucks. Sometimes some people
Speaker 3: are listening for ten grand, but that no one's.
Speaker 2: Fucking nobody's buying them for ten grand.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I did not, I honestly did not. It's
Speaker 4: just such a weird thing. No one's paying attention. Like
Speaker 4: when I saw I was like, oh, sure, like I
Speaker 4: remember these vague shapes when I would stroll into the restaurant.
Speaker 1: Like, Hi, I don't remember they at all, But yeah,
Speaker 1: I was usually pretty high when I went to a
Speaker 1: taco Bell.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's uh, it's it's not great. It's not great,
Speaker 3: but anyway, yeah, this is uh sure, take take your
Speaker 3: Taco Bell art and go on with it. But again,
Speaker 3: no one was in the Taco Bell looking at the art.
Speaker 3: It's just so weird. It's like people being like, oh
Speaker 3: do you see the art at that strip club. It's
Speaker 3: like no one gives a shit at what you have.
Speaker 4: Like people are just there for the fucking chilupas man
Speaker 4: for the crunch wrap supremes.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So, like the paintings are kind of dark, they're like troubling,
Speaker 1: Like one of them is like trying to channel the
Speaker 1: feeling of a like hunger, like low blood, sugar and
Speaker 1: hunger pains. Right, so, and like when they when they
Speaker 1: gave him the gig, they were like, yeah, as long
Speaker 1: as it doesn't contain a devil worship or displays of carnality,
Speaker 1: which just imagining like the draft that he the pitch
Speaker 1: that he gave where they were like, yeah, okay, but
Speaker 1: none of the devil worship and none of the devil
Speaker 1: face fucking like somebody eating a chaloupa.
Speaker 2: We need to need to cut that part out.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, well, look I'm glad that they've found a
Speaker 3: way to create, as one person put it, the GameStop
Speaker 3: of art heists.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's sad.
Speaker 3: I mean, like I wish I it's funny. There was
Speaker 3: a listener that's so wild.
Speaker 4: I remember like early a few years ago someone from
Speaker 4: zeigangs like Yo man, I found some like taco bells,
Speaker 4: like shit from a shut like shut down taco bell,
Speaker 4: like if you want to hang it up at your house.
Speaker 3: But it wasn't this art. It was more like signage.
Speaker 4: Oh that I had, like legit that taco bell esthetic
Speaker 4: to it, rather than like this is taco bell art.
Speaker 1: This is going to be the future of like art
Speaker 1: museums is just like recreating a taco bell from the
Speaker 1: early nineties, right yeah. SFGate reported the trend began when
Speaker 1: paintings from an Ohio taco bell were stolen in twenty
Speaker 1: eleven and again in twenty fifteen. So wow that I
Speaker 1: didn't realize that those lasted that long. But anyways, onto
Speaker 1: a fast food company that actually knows how to make money.
Speaker 1: Chick fil A is having a summer camp in Louisiana
Speaker 1: where children can go.
Speaker 2: To learn what it's like to work at a Chick
Speaker 2: fil A.
Speaker 3: Yep, yep.
Speaker 4: It's a very I've seen this post go around for
Speaker 4: like the last week, and the way it reads, it's
Speaker 4: like they're trying to make it seem like, hey.
Speaker 3: You've got some really cool sessions for our Chick fil
Speaker 3: A summer camp. But basically it says.
Speaker 4: You pay them, yeah, thirty five dollars and in return,
Speaker 4: your kid gets a kid's meal, a T shirt, a
Speaker 4: name tag, and what they do is, quote, spend some
Speaker 4: time with the Chick fil A cow and Chick fil
Speaker 4: A team leaders. Okay, get up behind the scenes look
Speaker 4: of hospitality and service. Have a fun time, getting behind
Speaker 4: the scenes views of what it's like to work at
Speaker 4: America's favorite quick service restaurant, enjoy a VIP lunch, and
Speaker 4: go home with some goodies. They're expecting things to sign up,
Speaker 4: phill up quickly. I mean we're saying nine am to
Speaker 4: noon is and it's like three days. So this is
Speaker 4: this is part of like summer camps.
Speaker 1: There is a cottage industry of just people realizing parents
Speaker 1: realizing too late, Oh shit, I haven't sign my kid
Speaker 1: up for summer camp, right, and they'll sign up for
Speaker 1: fucking anything.
Speaker 3: They're like, fuck it. Three hours I'll take it.
Speaker 1: I'll take it, yeah, exactly, just get this kid out
Speaker 1: of here for three hours. But it seems fairly underwhelming
Speaker 1: and reminds me of my uh middle school where for winning.
Speaker 2: Students the months.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to go to Long John Silver's corporate
Speaker 1: headquarters and just look at a bunch of spreadsheets and
Speaker 1: like a power point and watch you.
Speaker 3: Guys commercial Hu, this place is pretty rocking hawk kids
Speaker 3: just like what did they? I don't know, what do
Speaker 3: you do you think it?
Speaker 4: I mean, I get somehow you would be like, wow,
Speaker 4: I got to pull the machine to make a frosty,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Like that kind of shit would be fun to a kid.
Speaker 3: But then the like the just everything else about it, really,
Speaker 3: I mean that would be a very specific child.
Speaker 1: Wasn't like doesn't like it's pretty basic, right, Like there's
Speaker 1: not like that much iconic ship like a McDonald's at
Speaker 1: least like they used to have the playland, Like I
Speaker 1: could like.
Speaker 3: See what they haven't side of chick fil A.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, there's like nothing in chick fil A, like
Speaker 2: just chick fil a food.
Speaker 4: So like, yeah, this does feel like a great way
Speaker 4: to just like, look, man, we just want to socialize
Speaker 4: your kids and doctrinate your kids innocular your kids, you know,
Speaker 4: against unionizing, you know what I.
Speaker 3: Mean, we will not talk about that.
Speaker 4: That'd be cool if someone set up a counter camp
Speaker 4: about unionizing fast food workers.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 3: But then they're like, can we make frosties? They're like,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, you'll learn about solidarity and the kids like
Speaker 3: you lost. I know this is good, but you lost me.
Speaker 3: They're gonna give me a VIP launch of nuggets over here.
Speaker 3: Would you ever want to do something like this for
Speaker 3: your your kids?
Speaker 2: Only if they were really good, you know, if they
Speaker 2: earned it, they could know you brought.
Speaker 3: Home straight A's someone's going to Chick fil A camp
Speaker 3: this Monday for three hours.
Speaker 1: Just seems like it's sent so many bad messages to
Speaker 1: the kid about like, first of all, what's good food?
Speaker 3: And then like what well okay any corporation being like
Speaker 3: that's really built on like underpaying their employees. That doesn't
Speaker 3: feel like an opera one thing.
Speaker 4: If a kids like I want to learn about the
Speaker 4: forestry service and like how we protect the like, oh,
Speaker 4: learn about that, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: But here it's like you want to learn about depressed
Speaker 3: wage jobs feels a little bit dystopian.
Speaker 1: Yeah, get them early, that's what we say here. A yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's corporate grooming is essentially what it is. As Yeah,
Speaker 1: ironic editor pointed out.
Speaker 3: A company that puts so much money or you know,
Speaker 3: used to put a lot more money into like a
Speaker 3: homophobic causes. So yeah, yeah, who's grooming now?
Speaker 1: And finally, uh tech mogul and millionaire Brian Johnson famously
Speaker 1: he's like that guy who used his son as a
Speaker 1: blood bag to try and get younger. He claims like
Speaker 1: he's basically fixed aging, or at least cut it in half.
Speaker 1: He now says he only he celebrates his birthday every
Speaker 1: nineteen months instead of the conventional twelve. He's aging at
Speaker 1: a pace of point six y four compared to.
Speaker 2: The rest of us.
Speaker 3: That's so stupid, dude. He don't look that it. You're
Speaker 3: not like I would believe it if Parrell said that.
Speaker 2: Shit, Yes, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: This guy looks like the human version of a two
