Speaker 2: Is that why you're saying a A yeah?

6
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: Because he's Canadian man?

7
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, genev New Yeah.

00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:40,400

Speaker 1: impressions of French Canadians of a human. Yeah, my name's Jack.

10
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: That over there is mister Miles.

Speaker 3: Great, I'm you're in the title. I'm excited.

12
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: I mean, like, of the people that they could have

13
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,959
Speaker 1: announced to make the next Bond movie, like, he's probably

14
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: I think he might be at the top of the list,

15
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: like him, maybe Ryan Coogler, like those, those would be

16
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: the two people, like they just don't miss and they

17
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: make things in like a bunch of different genres, you know.

18
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think with Denny he just does such a

19
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 3: good job too of like letting the space between action

20
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 3: really fucking feel significant, And that'd be a really dope

21
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 3: aesthetic in a Bond film, because already with the Daniel

22
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 3: Craig stuff, they were leaning more into like this guy's

23
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 3: kind of fucked up from like killing people all the

24
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: time and getting his lovers killed.

25
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 4: All the time.

26
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: He's kind of like a spooky guy.

27
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm starting to think that subconsciously he's into that. He's

28
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: just like a weird accidental serial killer. Did you know

29
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: his name is actually pronounced Dennis Villanova.

30
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: It's Danny Villanueva.

31
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: That's right, all right. Anyways, that's was just announced as

33
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,919

Speaker 1: since Doctor Noahs Sean Connery, I'm a diehard Bond fan.

36
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: To me, he's sacred territory. I intend to honor the

37
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: tradition and open the path for many new missions to come.

38
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: This is a massive responsibility. He sounds like he's freaking

39
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: out a little bit, but also incredibly exciting for me

40
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: and a huge honor. Amy David and I are absolutely

41
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,200

Speaker 1: That part in Dune two where they're like floating just

54
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: off the you know they wear those like anti gravityess

55
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: and they're floating just like a foot off the ground

56
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: was so like because I've had that dream so many times,

57
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, like where you're like trying to run but

58
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: like you can't touch the ground like it was. It

59
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: was so wild, Like that was such a fucking cool

60
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 1: scene like that. He's he's very visually.

61
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: I just just do that, but make it James Bond

62
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: this time.

63
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: Yes, that well, I mean that's some shit you could

64
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: event in the Bond universe. I think you just try

65
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: it anti gravity.

66
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: Get lazy and just take stuff from all your other

67
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: films and just make them Bond scenes, Like do the

68
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 3: border scene in Sacario but James Bond. But just fuck it, man,

69
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: same set up. Somehow You're getting some guy across whatever.

70
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: Bomb loses it and like starts chasing after somebody and

71
00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: then like keeps them prisoner in his house, m prisoners Billianuve.

72
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: But there is anyways, Miles, what's going on Palenteer, Oh

73
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: my god.

74
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 3: Well, Palenteer, Peter the Peter Teal funded company. It's it's man,

75
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: if you're if you're on Capitol Hill and you like

76
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 3: morally dubious stock trading, you better be all in on

77
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 3: Palenteer because a lot there are seven members of Congress

78
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: and maybe over a dozen White House officials according to

79
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 3: financial disclosures, who are you.

80
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: Know, buying that Palenteer stock.

81
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: And you know, Palenteer has played a central role in

82
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: these ice kid nappings. So let's be clear here, Like

83
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: this is they're saying, like, oh okay, if we're ramping

84
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 3: this up, then Palaenteer stock is going to go up,

85
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 3: So I will buy Palenteer stock to profit off of

86
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: the pain of people.

87
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 2: A lot of alliteration there.

88
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: Just a quick fact Palaeer's stock price it was seventy

89
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 3: three dollars a share on the first day of Trump

90
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 3: in office, and it's around one forty today, so it's

91
00:04:58,880 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 3: nearly doubled.

92
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: And you know, there's a few.

93
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 3: Democrats like California's Rocana, who also appears to own some

94
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 3: of this stock he has been saying, or you know,

95
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: like people are like, oh, that's done from like a

96
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 3: like a financial advisor, and it's like, I'm not top

97
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 3: picking specific stocks. They're the ones who are just saying

98
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 3: I should profit off of this. It's clearly not me.

99
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: It's a pretty common refrain from members of Congress when

100
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 3: they've been asked about problematic stock trading. And Stephen Miller,

101
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 3: the chief architect of all this nonsense, he is holding

102
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 3: up to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in stock

103
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 3: and who knows what that's even valued at now. But yeah,

104
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: they're profiting off the Ice kidnappings via Palenteer.

105
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: Cause they like the they were just getting contract after

106
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: contract after contract, like from the Pentagon from Doge was

107
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: like what if we just like dump everything into Palenteer

108
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: and like Palenteers the system that make America go. And yeah,

109
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: the Ice kidnappings like feel pretty aimless and like poorly executed,

110
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: like the you know, like not not that that's my

111
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: critique of them, but I would say when I was

112
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: talking about evil financial advisor, I'd be like, are they

113
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: they seem like they suck at their job.

114
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: But so you've noticed.

115
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 4: Hmmm mm hm.

116
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: Anyways, fuck Palanteer's let's talk about the Big Beautiful Bill. Yeah,

117
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: while we're talking finance in Washington, DC.

118
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 3: Luckily, it's not gaining a ton of traction right now.

119
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 3: They the latest setback comes from the parliamentarian who you

120
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: might remember from the Inflation Reduction Act, and they're like,

121
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 3: you technically can't do this under the reconciliation process. Basically,

122
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 3: the parliamentarian is the non partisan procedure and rules nerd

123
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 3: and make sure a bill is actually adhering to the rules.

124
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: And this is important because the Republicans are trying to

125
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 3: pass the bill with a simple majority, like they're using

126
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 3: reconciliation so they can just make huge changes with a

127
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: simple majority already no filibuster and be.

128
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: Like, okay, let's move on.

129
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: But the parliamentarian just flagged some huge parts of the

130
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: bill that are central to its mission of taking away

131
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 3: healthcare from millions of people, even though Republicans are.

132
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: Out loud being like they're not doing that. It's not

133
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: just straight up lying.

134
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 3: What Yeah, so the Big Beautiful Bill not that the

135
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: just because we love just your health, just because it

136
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 3: says it's making cuts to Medicaid in the text of

137
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 3: the bill doesn't mean that's what we want to do

138
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 3: or we're gonna do geez.

139
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: This is from one of the reports I've read.

140
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 3: Quote one issue is a directive that states cut the

141
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 3: tax they impose on Medicaid providers from six percent down

142
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 3: to three percent, effectively having the amount that states will

143
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: receive in tax revenue from those providers. Critics say the

144
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 3: change will result in major challenges rural hospitals that rely

145
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: on that money because it becomes part of a big

146
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 3: pot of tax revenue for states that plays into the

147
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 3: complex formula that determines how much federal funding is received.

148
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: Then the other parts of this.

149
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 4: Is this is a quote from thing.

150
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: Just in case anyone thinks that we write an incredibly

151
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: long run on sentence, this is a quote from a source. Yeah, yeah,

152
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: this is from NPR find then PR. Yeah they to

153
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: use a fucking period, yeah, com God damn it.

154
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 3: One of the other, like the other things that have

155
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 3: been flagged by the parliamentarian, was the one that was

156
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 3: barring Medicaid from covering gender affirming care. Okay, great, thank you,

157
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 3: and also denying coverage and some Medicaid recipients who are

158
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: not US citizens, and their whole thing is like, we

159
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 3: would want to have this on mister Donald's dusk by

160
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 3: July fourth. That's it seems like this is going to

161
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 3: maybe delay, but who knows, they might just cobbleshit together

162
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 3: with no time for anyone to read it and go

163
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 3: with that and give all the billionaires to go.

164
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: Here you go, billionaires, and fuck you everyone else.

165
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, really does seem like they don't think there's gonna

166
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: be an election like that, they don't need to get

167
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: votes anymore, which Donald did tell them, and he wasn't

168
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: even wrong about anything, you know, mhmm, this will be

169
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: the last time you need to vote, because yeah, they're

170
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: doing some pretty unpopular things, yeah, both legislatively and then

171
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: just like from the executive side, all right, one thing

172
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: that they're doing that's popular is defending the good name,

173
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: the good face of JD Vance. So this is an

174
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: ongoing story, but US officials are refuting claims that a

175
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: tourist was denied entry for having a JD Vance bald

176
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: meme on his phone. The Border patrol agents say, first

177
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: of all, it was it was somebody named Mad's Michelson,

178
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: and that name is apparently so common that it's not

179
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: the famous actor, it's just another Mads Nicholson.

180
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, which the.

181
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: First time I heard the name Mads Michelson, I was like,

182
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: you know, that genreally sketch in h I think you

183
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: should leave where He's like, gosh, that's how I felt

184
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: about naming my kids anything besides Mad's Michelson O'Brien.

185
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: Uh shit, Micholson.

186
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: Anyways, good good work to this person's parents by naming

187
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: him as Michelson.

188
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 2: Uh.

189
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: So he's saying he was banned because of JD Van's

190
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: bald meme. I think the Norwegian media was also reporting that, uh.

191
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: The Border patrol says it was because of his admitted

192
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: drug use. They didn't explain why he admitted drug use,

193
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: but were they like the fact that they were not

194
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: like we didn't go through his phone, Like what are

195
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: you talking about? And they're just like, no, it wasn't.

196
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: It wasn't those memes that we found on his phone,

197
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: so that I don't know, it's weird that they're going

198
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: through people's phones.

199
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, the more because he like apparently they

200
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 3: he said that when they asked to asked him like, oh,

201
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 3: or so you he admitted to trying marijuana once in

202
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 3: Germany and once in New Mexico. Oh yeah, you can't

203
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 3: let that guy in this country. And he's like, I

204
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 3: didn't think it was an issue because there it's legal there.

205
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: Wow, anyway, in your own.

206
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: Drug user, shame Jesus, shame.

207
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 2: Fragile, fragile, fucking people.

208
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break.

209
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 4: We'll be right back. And we're back. We're back.

210
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: Also, I'm gonna trust like he was having the interaction

211
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: with them, I'm assuming he watched them deny him entry,

212
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, like after seeing the JD Vance bald meme.

213
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: You know, anyways, interesting, interesting, how thin skinned JD.

214
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 4: Van says.

215
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Elon Musk's attempt to save Tesla. I

216
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: don't even know if we should call it an attempt.

217
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: It was a fucking swish from way downtown. He launched

218
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: some robotaxis.

219
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 4: M M.

220
00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: You know he so, Yes, the burning Tesla dealership. Yes,

221
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: giant fhallus is carved in the hoods of cyber trucks.

222
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: Not a great look. But he bet big that the

223
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: launch of his self driving robotaxis would turn everything around.

224
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: Beginning with a test run of a small squad of

225
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: self driving cabs in Austin, Texas, which began this weekend. Now,

226
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: I was when I first saw this, I was like, oh,

227
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: did they not have waymos in other cities, because we've

228
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: had waymos here for a couple of years in Los Angeles,

229
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: and actually we had them for like two years before

230
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: anyone could use them because they were just driving around

231
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: the street like training essentially just drinking up all our

232
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: driver behavior into their fucking AI. And then they became

233
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: a thing and people kind of used them, like some

234
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: people kind of use them, but this was being treated

235
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 1: like we've done it, figured it out Elon Musk. I

236
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: guess the additional thing that he's adding to that equation

237
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: is that in some future world, after like the cars

238
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: are all trained up, you'll just be able to like

239
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: park your Tesla somewhere and then start making money as

240
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: it acts as a robot taxi for other people.

241
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 3: So a lot of people were talking about why they

242
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 3: were getting their cyber truck, like, it's fine that it

243
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 3: costs much, because once I start doing the taxi stuff,

244
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 3: it's just going to pay for itself.

245
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: So the pitch you will make a little extra money

246
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: while ensuring that complete strangers have sex in the backseat

247
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: of your car.

248
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, but I want that.

249
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: That's kind of my thing.

250
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

251
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: Also, yeck you imagine the fucking because those things are

252
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: equipped with cameras, so I'm sure just horrible things happening.

253
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they just fucking suck that even like the

254
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 3: FEDS are even looking into it, and now they're like, yo,

255
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 3: what what are you doing with these cars that are

256
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 3: veering into oncoming traffic?

257
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

258
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, Brian the editor just found an

259
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: article Tesla's robotaxi service is set to debut today. Here's

260
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: what to know from five years ago. That's what like

261
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: in both of these cases, like even the idea that

262
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: it was debuting. Now, yeah, I was like, why is

263
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: this being treated like a story. We already have these

264
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: way mods. We already you know, burnt them. We defeated

265
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: them in Los Angeles. But anyways, so they are debuting,

266
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: they are doing wild shit, like people are taking video

267
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: of their ride. And first of all, there's a Tesla

268
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: employee just sitting shotgun at all times quote unquote monitoring

269
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: the ride. But in one case, like we see the

270
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: car the car like turns like gets in the left

271
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: turning lane and then the wheel just starts like jerking

272
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: back and forth as it drives straight through the intersection

273
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: and into oncoming traffic and then like slowly drifts into

274
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: the other lane.

275
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: It just never mind.

276
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: It doesn't like if you saw someone driving like that, like, yeah, round.

277
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: Did you have a fucking episode?

278
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 4: Are you high?

279
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 3: Like it looks like me or it looks like you

280
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 3: know how Like we used to make fun of how

281
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 3: people would drive in like movies when they're clearly not driving,

282
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 3: like oh yeah, when they're.

283
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: Like back and forth and back and forth.

284
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 4: That's what the.

285
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 2: Fucking steering wheel looks like.

286
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 3: Is this thing's trying to make a left turn and

287
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 3: it just nopes out of it, and you're like, this

288
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 3: is this is an actual failure that has just failed

289
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 3: to even make a left turn.

290
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

291
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: Videos posted online showed Robotaxi speeding, Like we said, the

292
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: most concerning one had the Robotaxi steering wheel randomly jerking

293
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: around then careening into oncoming traffic. There's not a car there,

294
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: but yeah, Like, but it's also kind of wild because

295
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: like the person who's monitoring it acts like it didn't happen.

296
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: The person who's sitting in the passenger side doesn't like

297
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: freak out. He acts like all the people whatever, I'm

298
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: on a flight that experiences turbulence and I like grab

299
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: the people around me, like yeah christ and everyone's just

300
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: like chill as fuck.

301
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, it's just the guy writing shotgun in there,

302
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 3: because it is clearly like so into the cult of

303
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 3: Tesla or something.

304
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just does this like kind of thing. It's fine, right,

305
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 2: it's meant to do this, and it does it well.

306
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: Actually, in other videos, the robo taxi randomly hits the

307
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: brakes because it notices a cop car. There's like two

308
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: times where they were like, we've found it like slamming

309
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: on the brakes and we couldn't figure out why. Then

310
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: like when you look back at the tape, there's like

311
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: a cop car visible, Like is that this is robot me?

312
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, freaking it's just like, oh fuck, they're gonna fucking

313
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 2: do something, bro, what the fuck?

314
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 4: Yeah?

315
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, good luck man.

316
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 3: And this you'd imagine if Musk was on the good side,

317
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 3: the good and the good graces of Donald Trump, the

318
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 3: US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration wouldn't be investigating Tesla

319
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 3: over this.

320
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: So once these videos started circulating. An investigation was opened

321
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: up and they were like, oh, they're just because Elon

322
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: Musk was like, we're actually being super paranoid about safety,

323
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: doesn't actually mean that they did the necessary uh yeah testing,

324
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: and you know, like all like what what Waimo did?

325
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: They Uh, their cars drove the roads that they would

326
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: be driving for years without passengers. Uh up to a

327
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: year I think or it was a full year, and

328
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: Tesla was like a couple months and was just like, yeah,

329
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: I get it into production, which we've seen how careful

330
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: he is with just the constant barrage of fucking rockets

331
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: exploding in the sky California and Texas. So yeah, I

332
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: don't know, we're forced to rely on YouTube videos of

333
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: glitches for insight because Tesla has been as yeah, like

334
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: any any company with money on the line is going

335
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: to use lobbying to try and make it so that

336
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: there's not this oversight. They're fighting it pretty heavily. It

337
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: tested its vehicles with safety drivers throughout Austin for a

338
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: few months, then Musk announced in late May, only weeks

339
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: before the plan launch, it started testing without safety drivers.

340
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 4: Seems not good enough.

341
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: God, I mean, he's so thorough usually els usually so

342
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 2: so details oriented.

343
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: So there's a story going around that I didn't want

344
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: to believe is true that the Simpsons killed kill Marge.

345
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like, what the f I saw that too,

346
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 3: and people put like a put her in heaven. I

347
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 3: saw one headline that had like an image of her

348
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 3: like in the clouds. I was like, what the fuck

349
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 3: is this? And I also, sadly I didn't care to know.

350
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 2: But does she die? So they kill her off.

351
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: Kind of not in the present, so you know how

352
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: sometimes they will like flash forward to the future where

353
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: Lisa's president is an alcoholic I think. So it's basically

354
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: a flash forward set thirty five years in the future

355
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: where Marge is dead, but it is confirmed her soul

356
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: is in heaven and she's now married to Ringo Star.

357
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 3: So oh perfect, yeah, sorry, I'll be yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

358
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: So she ended up all right, all is well, that

359
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: ends well, she's fine, mm hmmm, so we can rest easy. Yeah,

360
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: this weekend knowing Marge Simpson is that she's mortal, mortal

361
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: in heaven getting sucked by a beadle.

362
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 3: Like this is doing like seven hundred years in the

363
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 3: future and reveal that Homer is like immortal, right, and everyone.

364
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: Else is just exactly the same age.

Speaker 1: do the voice for like twenty years. Oh wow, So

371
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,640
