Speaker 2: You were like, yo, this is.

Speaker 2: You would just like parrot back to people.
Speaker 1: Like I would like to hear it like a little entering,

Speaker 1: I'm just got this. I got a feeling.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I so badly wanted to like the like the commercial,
Speaker 4: like I want to wear a chunky knit sweater.
Speaker 2: It's a white Christmas in that I.
Speaker 4: Live in a white neighborhood and it's all white people around.
Speaker 4: And then I come outside and her mags, she's like
Speaker 4: dangling some key.

Speaker 4: to Remember.
Speaker 1: Oh man, all right, welcome to this December to Remember.
Speaker 1: First episode of December. We got the tree ever, we
Speaker 1: got the tree up?
Speaker 2: Oh I put that ship up.
Speaker 1: Yep, you got yours up? Nice? Oh my god, you're
Speaker 1: like SYNCD.
Speaker 4: I think we are trying to just bring the good
Speaker 4: vibes as quickly as possible.
Speaker 1: That's why.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was like, put the tree up. It something
Speaker 4: to do, something to do, something to do. You have
Speaker 4: fake tree or you go out the fake tree. Yeah,
Speaker 4: until the guy's child has like the wherewithal to be like,
Speaker 4: how can we have this thing that's poisoning our house
Speaker 4: with microplastics with the metal rod in the house?
Speaker 2: Can we get the real thing? I think we'll keep
Speaker 2: it up.
Speaker 4: Because also, like I don't want trees cost so much
Speaker 4: fucking money. Yeah that if you want a six footer
Speaker 4: in LA, that's a at minimum, like a buck fifty your.
Speaker 1: Panting, Yeah, it's pretty expensive.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So like that's why I'm like, I'll do it
Speaker 4: when it makes sense the kid wants it. For now,
Speaker 4: I'm saving one to fifty years, so that way when
Speaker 4: the kid wants the tree, then I can blow that on,
Speaker 4: like a seven thousand dollars Kardashian tree that won't even
Speaker 4: fit in my house.
Speaker 2: You have to put it in horizontally. Right.
Speaker 1: It's a great Christmas trees. I love the smell of
Speaker 1: a real Christmas tree. They are also great instruments for
Speaker 1: introducing all new spider populations into your house, which is nice.
Speaker 2: Oh, yours came with a bunch of free spiders.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it always like I always find a weird spider
Speaker 1: or two around. Yeah, the tree or I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe it's just the home depot of it all. But
Speaker 1: shout out a spider, shout out a spider. All right,
Speaker 1: this is the episode where we let you, you're welcome,
Speaker 1: get to know us a little bit better by telling
Speaker 1: you some things that we think are overrated, underrated, and
Speaker 1: then we'll get into some of the stories that are trending.
Speaker 1: We're trending over the weekend. Kick him off with a
Speaker 1: little underrated? Is there something that you think is underrated?
Speaker 4: Adam Vinitari is the kicker, right, Yes, then I'm kicking
Speaker 4: things off, and I'm going to ask that every time
Speaker 4: because I can't remember if it's Adam Vinitari.
Speaker 2: I think one time I said Vinnie Testa Verdi.
Speaker 4: Because it syllabically sort of their cousins.
Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna all the white Western European. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Some it's like a remix. It's just
Speaker 1: a yeah, my.
Speaker 2: Brain, that's just how it hits my brain. You know,
Speaker 2: we just said under over.
Speaker 1: Why don't we kick off something underrated? Under underrated?
Speaker 4: Just how fucking off the rails Japanese TV can be.
Speaker 1: Now, you know, I can't believe this.
Speaker 4: What I don't know if you've heard of this place,
Speaker 4: Japan kind of have a dark stream if you look
Speaker 4: before World War Two? Whoa, the TV is absolutely like untethered, unhinged,
Speaker 4: just like you got an idea, let's make it if
Speaker 4: if it's it's like one of these things where writers
Speaker 4: can just like indulge themselves and then they just do
Speaker 4: that and there's no standards in practices at all.
Speaker 1: Case, so you're talking about Shogun, is that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Japanese TJ They.
Speaker 2: Let those guys cut their bellies open with knives. Oh
Speaker 2: my god?
Speaker 1: Is that safe?
Speaker 2: Only in Japan? Thing?
Speaker 1: That's the catchphrase from Shogun Only in Japan.
Speaker 2: These guys are cutting their bellies with knives.
Speaker 4: So there's a show that I heard about and I
Speaker 4: started to watch a little bit of it. It's called
Speaker 4: Killer Cuts, which is interesting because that's also like a
Speaker 4: reference to like a bootleg final series that I used
Speaker 4: to have when I was DJing.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I was like, what the fuck is this? It's
Speaker 2: a Japanese comedy show.
Speaker 4: It's causing a slight controversy with medical professionals, specifically like
Speaker 4: the Japanese like National Association of Anesthesiologists. Why oh well,
Speaker 4: let me tell you so basically in this so it's
Speaker 4: like a bunch of weird shit like challenges that are
Speaker 4: cocted that comedians do. Like the first episode was people
Speaker 4: fighting with stun guns. It was like straight up jackass
Speaker 4: type stuff, but with like the least kind of like
Speaker 4: they're not like athletes. They're just funny people who you
Speaker 4: get to see be like, OHI just like hitting each other.
Speaker 4: They're wearing like wrestling singlets and like doing like the
Speaker 4: beat it style knife fight except with taser.
Speaker 1: Are they tied together at the hand?
Speaker 4: I wish they were, but they're not, because then you
Speaker 4: could have done my cheating things you just stab their
Speaker 4: arm a bunch.
Speaker 2: That's right there.
Speaker 1: You got your yeah, medically assisted version of freeze tag
Speaker 1: where you have.
Speaker 4: A right device that makes that and you get locked up.
Speaker 4: So basically this episode that is causing controversy, it's called
Speaker 4: like the Dying Message Challenge, and where these comedians go
Speaker 4: to a medical office for like a gastroscopy, Like I
Speaker 4: guess they're like putting like a tube down your like
Speaker 4: gut gullet.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not a professional, but.
Speaker 4: They're doing like that's the procedure. But before they do it,
Speaker 4: they have to go under it like general anesthesia. And
Speaker 4: as that's happening, right, the challenge for these persons like
Speaker 4: they have to basically have their wits about them the
Speaker 4: entire time because as they are being put under, a
Speaker 4: fucking murder is staged in front of them, and they
Speaker 4: have to try and keep their shit together long enough
Speaker 4: to write down the details of the murder so that
Speaker 4: they could help sort of like these fake detectives in
Speaker 4: the show solve the case based on like what they
Speaker 4: can scrawl out as they're being dosed with propafall.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 4: It's like stuff like, oh, the receptionist lover's quarrel. Like,
Speaker 4: but the like you can see them slowly go under
Speaker 4: as yeah, they're trying to write all of this shit out.
Speaker 4: And then afterwards, like the detectives come in and they
Speaker 4: pretend to do an investigation and they come upon the
Speaker 4: paper which will help or not help solve the case.
Speaker 4: Because sometimes people just write nonsense. It's just so wacky
Speaker 4: to hear. Like every time I just described the show
Speaker 4: out loud to non Japanese people this last weekend, everyone.
Speaker 2: Was like, what the fuck are you talking about? And
Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, you know how.
Speaker 4: Like in the movies, people have been like I remember,
Speaker 4: very murkily, like what happened?
Speaker 2: They wanted to at least test that out, yeah, and
Speaker 2: see what would happen.
Speaker 4: It feels like it maybe it could have been a
Speaker 4: cracked video that never happened.
Speaker 1: I don't think we would. Like anesthesiologists are the medical
Speaker 1: profession that requires the most insurance because they kill so
Speaker 1: many people accidentally, so that feels feels very dangerous. But
Speaker 1: yet those messages they write down are pretty whack.
Speaker 4: The funniest part like let me just show you this, uh,
Speaker 4: just you can just see this guy as he's like
Speaker 4: struggling at the very end, write down the details, like
Speaker 4: like when he was in the reception room for this
Speaker 4: medical procedure, like the actors were pretending, like the doctors
Speaker 4: having an affair, so he kind of like able to
Speaker 4: piece stuff together. Then he sees the doctor get stabbed.
Speaker 4: And then this is him writing out the details.
Speaker 1: He's like his Oh, he's.
Speaker 2: Trying to and he's gone. He's out.
Speaker 1: He's out. So did they have something up his ass
Speaker 1: at that point?
Speaker 4: No, No, it was something that went down his nose
Speaker 4: or so got it. Yeah, I don't know whatever the
Speaker 4: mouth went in, but it was so in case he
Speaker 4: started vomiting from the ship that he would be okay.
Speaker 4: And he had a little receptacle. He was fine.
Speaker 2: But again Wild TV, Wild TV.
Speaker 1: Yet yet another time that Brian the editor is going
Speaker 1: to have to edit out me saying asking if someone
Speaker 1: has something up their ass at this time.
Speaker 4: That's just that's just a regular scarecrow in a cornfield,
Speaker 4: all right.
Speaker 1: It's usually on mad dusties or just watching the NBA
Speaker 1: highlight And.
Speaker 2: Well, how Choman get up like that? You must have
Speaker 2: a huh.
Speaker 1: He probably sitting his ass right Okay, moving along, I
Speaker 1: underrated a good lazy riv lazy river. Baby. We stayed
Speaker 1: at a hotel we went we went to visit my
Speaker 1: parents for Thanksgiving, stayed at a hotel near their place
Speaker 1: that had a lazy river. And usually it's like I
Speaker 1: guess in my experience, it's been an add on for
Speaker 1: like after you've done the water slides one hundred times,
Speaker 1: its like and or your elderly and like don't can't
Speaker 1: do the water slides because like shake you like a
Speaker 1: bag of glass and uh. But yeah, there were only
Speaker 1: like a couple of water slides. But this lazy river,
Speaker 1: my kids were just playing in it all day long.
Speaker 1: I was playing in it with them. It just became like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, We're like making up games, creating flotillas,
Speaker 1: trying to do a full lap against the stream. Your
Speaker 1: full lap against the stream with my kids is a
Speaker 1: great workout, a lot of fun. You know, you like
Speaker 1: have the experience of them like drifting away from you're
Speaker 1: like no, no, and you grab them.
Speaker 4: I got you, I got him, and you're a three
Speaker 4: man chain.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like we should be exploring more alternatives
Speaker 1: to just regular pools, like more active rivers. I don't know.
Speaker 1: One thought that did repeatedly pop into my head is
Speaker 1: like this has to be super dangerous because there's many
Speaker 1: parts of the lazy river where like nobody's looking.
Speaker 4: Oh sure liked corner that the lifeguard wouldn't be able
Speaker 4: to see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but yeah, the kid would float around quickly
Speaker 1: enough that they'd get to him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that you'd see the face down floater within five minutes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it'll drift to you eventually.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, so a lot love it, just like
Speaker 1: having a thing that like you're just like trying to
Speaker 1: squeeze every last drop out of you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like it's hard to burn out on a lazy river.
Speaker 1: No, yeah, there, it's the possibilities are endless because.
Speaker 4: You you can have a fun time fucking around in it,
Speaker 4: or you actually don't feel bad about just like laying
Speaker 4: down because you're moving and you know, I don't know,
Speaker 4: I'm going on this liquid conveyor belt.
Speaker 1: A six year old's in a real stage where he's
Speaker 1: just loving music. He's just like, ah, man, like the
Speaker 1: way like music makes me feel so many like emotions
Speaker 1: and like when I close my eyes, that's just like
Speaker 1: picture like all these cool things. Yeah, so okay, he
Speaker 1: was just on his back on a float with like
Speaker 1: cartoonishly chilling, you know, like chilling the hardest.
Speaker 2: Anyone like a bluetooth or just like the ambient lazy
Speaker 2: river views.
Speaker 1: They had ambient lazy river music. It was bad. The
Speaker 1: music was not great. For still they had some hits.
Speaker 1: And then also it being Florida, some kind of new country,
Speaker 1: it was not my taste tempo.
Speaker 2: He was like, Dad, what's this sound? He's like, oh,
Speaker 2: I think this is sound.
Speaker 4: This is looking for, this is this is why I'm
Speaker 4: hot by Morgan Wallen Whalen.
Speaker 1: All right, what's something he thinks? Overrated?
Speaker 4: Overrated? These Netflix Christmas movies. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Look,
Speaker 4: and this is kind of a specific take. I was
Speaker 4: excited that a new player had entered the holid bad
Speaker 4: Holiday movie.
Speaker 1: Game, and you are holiday movie expert. I fucking yeah.
Speaker 4: But now that I've seen Hot Frosty, The Merry Gentleman,
Speaker 4: and Our Little Secret starring Lindsay Lohan, I can safely
Speaker 4: say that these are like bad holiday movies. Like holiday
Speaker 4: movies are supposed to be bad, but these are the
Speaker 4: bad version. Yeah, because like these films they understand the
Speaker 4: tropes and the stakes of any good holiday movie, like
Speaker 4: you need a love triangle or unrequited love or a
Speaker 4: romantic secret, and then you couple that with some like
Speaker 4: Christmas aesthetics and bad acting on boom, you got a
Speaker 4: fucking holiday movie. But Netflix is doing like a slight
Speaker 4: upgrade to this formula with well known actors like you know,
Speaker 4: Chad Michael Murray or Lindsay Lohan and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: And you know, not that I'm saying like these are
Speaker 4: the Thespians of our time, but like these are well
Speaker 4: known performers, and I think we're we're used to seeing
Speaker 4: these people be in like a certain level of production
Speaker 4: where the scripts feel like they were written by actual
Speaker 4: creative humans. So there's like a certain standard you have
Speaker 4: in mind. So sadly the bar has been set in
Speaker 4: your mind. So when you see them doing like a
Speaker 4: like a holiday movie, which part of it is like
Speaker 4: intentionally supposed to be kind of shitty, it's kind of
Speaker 4: it's jarring, and I'm like, Yo, this is like bad
Speaker 4: because this person's like has a career and I don't
Speaker 4: like this.
Speaker 1: You're like, this is worried about their career.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like I'm more like I started becoming like what's wrong?
Speaker 4: Like are they okay?
Speaker 2: Because this is it?
Speaker 4: You shouldn't be in this part of town. You should
Speaker 4: What are you doing in this part of town?
Speaker 1: This is it for you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, get out of here, bro they those kids are
Speaker 2: not playing catch with that tennis ball. Get out of
Speaker 2: this part of town.
Speaker 4: And I like the Hallmark movies because the actors are
Speaker 4: mostly unknown and you are expecting to watch some holiday horseshit.
Speaker 4: So it's like like I like in the like the
Speaker 4: traditional bad holiday movie, Like it's comforting because it's like
Speaker 4: you're you're like at a holiday karaoke and everyone that's
Speaker 4: going up to sing kind of sucks at singing, but
Speaker 4: in a fun way that's disarming, and you're like, all right,
Speaker 4: the holidays are here trying their best, like well, it's
Speaker 4: just fuck it cool, they're living there, weird dream And
Speaker 4: these movies that Netflix has made kind of just come
Speaker 4: off as like subpar bullshit. And I think it's because
Speaker 4: the budgets are not low enough and I think they're
Speaker 4: just doing.
Speaker 2: It's lacking something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And then part of me starts thinking about AI shit,
Speaker 4: and like, is there like a darker ulterior motive here,
Speaker 4: like they're priming all of us for like AI slop
Speaker 4: scripts where the audience will like breathlessly accept fatal plot
Speaker 4: holes and dialogue that comes from like a shrewd induced
Speaker 4: fever dream and just and so people can act like
Speaker 4: standards haven't totally cratered. That's like the part I get.
Speaker 4: But anyway, I don't like. I like that there were
Speaker 4: higher concept that's fine, but then when the act, like
Speaker 4: when the everything's bad and the performers are well known,
Speaker 4: it just doesn't.
Speaker 2: It doesn't hit all the notes from my brain.
Speaker 4: I need it to just be all unknowns or like
Speaker 4: slightly known people like I'm fine with like Team Mout
Speaker 4: like one of the Tea and Tamara Mawory.
Speaker 2: Like one of those twins, the Sister Sister Twins.
Speaker 4: I'm fine that, Like I haven't seen you in a minute,
Speaker 4: you're doing TV fine, But like these other people who.
Speaker 1: Figure out where the bar is. Because you mentioned Chad
Speaker 1: Michael Murray as being too good an actor.
Speaker 4: No I no, no, no, I said I didn't.
Speaker 2: I was very clear.
Speaker 4: It's not about their acting, it's about how well known,
Speaker 4: like well known they are known to us and you're like, well, yeah, they.
Speaker 1: Immediately are like, this is Chad Michael Murray. What's happening?
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 4: Even then I'm like, I know his face, so I'm like,
Speaker 4: I'm like, now, what the fuck is going on with
Speaker 4: this guy?
Speaker 2: I'm like, damn, he's only two years older than me. Shit,
Speaker 2: I look better than him. But yeah, you know, there's
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff happens.
Speaker 4: I like the unknowns if it makes it more, it
Speaker 4: makes it feel like what.
Speaker 2: The holiday movie is supposed to be.
Speaker 4: And I just I realize this now now that they're
Speaker 4: ju supposed with each other.
Speaker 1: Our Little Secret caught my attention just the title, because
Speaker 1: that's very sinister. I feel if nobody ever says this
Speaker 1: will be our little if they're not like committing some
Speaker 1: sort of crime.
Speaker 4: That one's so bad because the whole thing hinges on
Speaker 4: these two people who are like x Is fifteen years ago.
Speaker 4: They come back to their hometown where they're dating like
Speaker 4: these new people, but the people they're dating are siblings.
Speaker 4: So they meet at this holiday party unexpectedly, and Lindsay
Speaker 4: Lohan's introduced to her ex and they both pretend they
Speaker 4: don't know each other.
Speaker 2: Ah, and you're like, what's the point of that?
Speaker 4: Sure, like, and everything hinges on them keeping its secret
Speaker 4: that they used to date and then eventually they fall
Speaker 4: in love or whatever. And I know I'm thinking too
Speaker 4: deeply about it, But like anytime I've been you know,
Speaker 4: like when you get introduced to somebody like oh this
Speaker 4: is so so you're like you what the fuck?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what are you doing here? It's not like, oh,
Speaker 1: they instinctively pretend like they don't know each other.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it like it their breakup was awkward. Whatever,
Speaker 4: I'm done, Let's move on. I'm too upset. Just give
Speaker 4: us something positive. Jack, what's what's your what's your oprated?
Speaker 1: I mean all right, I could go with America's inability
Speaker 1: to acknowledge grief, or hotels a parent need to carpet
Speaker 1: luggage racts like put you know, like the rolling luggage
Speaker 1: acts they always have carpet on the bottom. I just
Speaker 1: find that weird. Yeah, I don't know. I was a
Speaker 1: bell hop. That was one of my first jobs out
Speaker 1: of college, if you will. Yeah, I think it's for friction,
Speaker 1: But like I had to, you know, we we are
Speaker 1: not the latest travelers in the world, and we had
Speaker 1: an early flight so I got to relive my old
Speaker 1: but butling days and go down and get the luggage
Speaker 1: track on my own to the right side. Baby, that
Speaker 1: was spinning that thing. I was really trying to exactly.
Speaker 1: They're steering from the wrong side. I mean, I can
Speaker 1: steer from the right wrong side to like make it
Speaker 1: do what I wanted to do.
Speaker 4: You always said, Yo, I can, I can steer from
Speaker 4: the back, baby, don't work.
Speaker 1: I say that a lot, but yeah, it had. I
Speaker 1: feel like there's always this like gray thin carpet at
Speaker 1: the bottom that I guess has to be just to
Speaker 1: like prevent really nice luggage from getting dinged.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: It's also just like the filthiest carpet that I ever encounter.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's like it's not even gray. That used
Speaker 2: to be white, just.
Speaker 1: Like polar bear white before. But yeah, I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know necessarily why it's always been carpeted, but it
Speaker 1: does seem like it's just a trend that is is
Speaker 1: always there carpet on that. And then I don't know,
Speaker 1: do we have to talk about America's inability with knowledge grief?
Speaker 2: I can't.
Speaker 1: I can say that one other time. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I was I was in Florida. I was listening to
Speaker 1: Griffin Newman on the podcast blank Check talk about this
Speaker 1: trip he took to Poland and just like how haunted
Speaker 1: like a city that he was visiting there felt by
Speaker 1: like the sense and you get this in a lot
Speaker 1: of cities around the world, or just like places around
Speaker 1: the world where there's just a sense of the history
Speaker 1: and the bad things that have happened there. And right
Speaker 1: they're appropriately haunted by the events of their past because
Speaker 1: they acknowledge and live with it, and it's not just
Speaker 1: immediately like pathologized and excised from the national shared consciousness
Speaker 1: is like a thing that we got to move past.
Speaker 1: How do we move past this? Moving forward? I'm reading
Speaker 1: this book, The Wild Edge of Sorrow that a friend
Speaker 1: of mine recommended. That's all about just like looking at
Speaker 1: darkness and like sorrow and you know, the uncomfortable emotions
Speaker 1: and not trying to just like move past them. And
Speaker 1: it spends a couple of paragraph like talking about the
Speaker 1: deep Water Horizon, which the movie was sick the movie,
Speaker 1: I think it had just happened when the book was written,
Speaker 1: and at first it seemed to I was like, why
Speaker 1: do they keep dwelling on this ecological that happened a
Speaker 1: thousand news cycles ago. But then the more you think
Speaker 1: about it, the more I remember what it felt like
Speaker 1: at the time before it had been turned into a
Speaker 1: Mark Wahlberg movie, And the more I realized, like, it's
Speaker 1: actually weird that, like, we shouldn't have yes passed this
Speaker 1: so easily, Sandy Hook, We should not have pushed past
Speaker 1: that so easily, you know it was.
Speaker 2: I think those things, like those events, they were so bad.
Speaker 4: We like, to your point, we could not acknowledge how
Speaker 4: bad it was when you're like, I'm sorry, this thing's
Speaker 4: just shitting out oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and then it's like, yeah, like we've never fucking seen
Speaker 4: before and it's destroying everything, and you're like everything, is
Speaker 4: there something else happening in twenty Was that twenty ten?
Speaker 4: I think that we can like just do that, and yeah,
Speaker 4: that totally makes sense because I remember.
Speaker 1: Getting a news cycle a year down the road about
Speaker 1: how everything's gone completely back to normal and like all
Speaker 1: the animals are fine with it, and actually they kind
Speaker 1: of like the oil because.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, exactly rostier now that they have a thin
Speaker 5: layer of petroleum on them, like, yeah, I think it
Speaker 5: felt like one of those things like we we just
Speaker 5: can't acknowledge how, and the same with Sandy Hook, like
Speaker 5: it's so horrifying, but that I don't know, is it
Speaker 5: just because we don't actually deal with it at that point,
Speaker 5: were like we need to actually rethink our ability like
Speaker 5: what we're doing with a fossil fuel extraction, or we
Speaker 5: need to rethink guns exactly.
Speaker 2: Like no, no, no, no, no, just I can go and
Speaker 2: this other things happen.
Speaker 4: Remember Alan Grayson, he's in Congress and he's saying some
Speaker 4: spicy stuff. I remember that was like a thing in
Speaker 4: the news at the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just it's not profitable to dwell on it
Speaker 1: and it doesn't work with whatever is going to like
Speaker 1: extract the most profit from the you know, the country,
Speaker 1: and so we just have to like move past it.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like Florida is just this
Speaker 1: perfect encapsulation of everything about how America deals with any
Speaker 1: of that shit. There's just no history. It's just this
Speaker 1: clean new shopping complex carved into the natural world. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I was in like Bonita Springs outside of Naples,
Speaker 1: so I can't speak for all of Florida obviously, but
Speaker 1: it's like there's all this beautiful nature, but like the
Speaker 1: second to any like building or cultural artifact like gets old,
Speaker 1: like the second like get it out. Yeah, it just
Speaker 1: gets turned over into something more profitable. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: there's so many kudobas. But yeah, I feel like we
Speaker 1: stay optimistic because it's good for business. We destroy all
Speaker 1: evidence because it's like good for business, and it only
Speaker 1: like comes up through the cracks and like our horror
Speaker 1: movies or you know, like I have to assume the
Speaker 1: truth will eventually out that you can't just like day
Speaker 1: aloft on determination to ignore the void below you like
Speaker 1: Wi Lee Coyote. But we're trying now. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: we're about to live through a period where we're going
Speaker 1: to see the uh you know that tested. We're going
Speaker 1: to watch The.
Speaker 2: Deep Water Horizon pasted it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, Mark Wahlberg our way through it.
Speaker 4: He's gonna watch Mark Wahlberg is end up playing Trump
Speaker 4: in some fucking yeah movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know whatever.
Speaker 1: Anyways, Uh fucking carpet on luggage racks. No need, Let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll come back and talk
Speaker 1: about some of the stuff that is trending and was
Speaker 1: trending over the weekend. And we're back. We're back, and
Speaker 1: and Joe Biden has pardoned Hunter Biden. Last name is Yea.
Speaker 1: Not a coincidence that Jesus, however, won't be partnering Biden,
Speaker 1: according to social media. Oh so yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows by now. Biden pardoned his son Hunter, who
Speaker 1: was facing charges for purchasing a gun, I think felony
Speaker 1: charges for purchasing a gun when he had failed a
Speaker 1: drug test. I don't know all the details of it,
Speaker 1: but it was like he committed crime.
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, yeah, I mean it was he committed
Speaker 4: a crime. I think a lot of it was added
Speaker 4: scrutiny because he was Hunter Biden. And I think that's
Speaker 4: probably why that was sort of Joe Biden's reasoning, was it, like,
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look at me, he committed a crime.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's because it's because everybody hates me, man,
Speaker 4: So I had to do that again the world.
Speaker 2: Doug wild though, too, because I remember when he was convicted,
Speaker 2: He's like.
Speaker 4: I'm not pardoning him, yeah, And it's like, bro, you know,
Speaker 4: you're like sure, whatever, I mean Also, it doesn't seem
Speaker 4: like I don't think he was really going to go
Speaker 4: to prison necessarily, but here he is doing. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 4: not shocked at all. Whatever, Like every like you know,
Speaker 4: Bill Clinton pardoned his brother, remember old Roger, and you
Speaker 4: just look at like for all that. I just love
Speaker 4: seeing the pearl clutching from Republicans right now. It's like
Speaker 4: everything is just like you're like, dude, guys, shut the
Speaker 4: fuck up, are you serious? Like Trump pardoned like fucking
Speaker 4: Steve Bannon, and like Jared Kushner's dad without fucking question.
Speaker 1: Pardon now, Jared Kushner's dad is going to be the
Speaker 1: ambassador to France.
Speaker 2: Exactly these are I mean.
Speaker 4: And I think also this should maybe demonstrate to Republicans.
Speaker 1: Too that there's not much different.
Speaker 4: There's not much difference between the two the two parties really.
Speaker 4: I mean, when people U send to those heights, they
Speaker 4: they like to use the perks of their power to
Speaker 4: do stuff like this, and that includes you know, bailing
Speaker 4: out bailing out Old Hunty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if the Democrats ever win another office, they need
Speaker 1: to put Hunter in charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Speaker 1: Firearms and Explosives, the ATF you know, oh yeah, the move.
Speaker 4: Wait, but what about his salvation there? People are just
Speaker 4: like this guy. He's yo in Jesus terms, he's still fucked.
Speaker 1: Yeah. John Rich on Twitter on x.
Speaker 2: Oh from Big and Rich, I have no idea.
Speaker 4: I think that's that was the same guy who played
Speaker 4: at the fucking North Carolina Maga fest.
Speaker 1: Oh right, yeah yeah yeah, fan of his work, that's
Speaker 1: Big and Rich. Yeah yeah, he tweeted. Uh, Joe Biden
Speaker 1: just pardoned Hunter, but Jesus won't. And then a lot
Speaker 1: of Christians took an issue with the suggest that Jesus
Speaker 1: will one day get his revenge on Hunter. Biden, I
Speaker 1: don't know, like all the someone respectfully, all he has
Speaker 1: to do is ask, and yes, Jesus will John when
Speaker 1: dey God for long enough, he turns them over to
Speaker 1: a reprobate mind and is done with them. Read romans
Speaker 1: won Uh Lee, Yes, Jesus will, dependent on Hunter's repentance,
Speaker 1: of course. Uh keep Turnerd tweeted Hunter will more likely
Speaker 1: never receive Christ because he doesn't see the need. Sadly,
Speaker 1: his daddy never let him grow up. So it really
Speaker 1: took me back to like living in Kentucky there. This
Speaker 1: was the type of ship people would gossip over about,
Speaker 1: like whether somebody was saved and uh yeah who was
Speaker 1: saved who wasn't? Uh, including a kid who died of
Speaker 1: a brain aneurism Jesus. What they were like speculating like yeah,
Speaker 1: I heard a talk about out like and people are
Speaker 1: really upset because they think he wasn't saved yo, which
Speaker 1: was yeah.
Speaker 4: But hey man, that's that's that's why Christianity so heavy, man,
Speaker 4: because there's how people you talk about it.
Speaker 1: Definitely, the people who uh Jesus in the Bible liked
Speaker 1: and valued most were the ones who gossiped over who
Speaker 1: did bad stuff and whether they were Definitely they're nailing
Speaker 1: the message. Yeah yeah, I am just gonna say, you know,
Speaker 1: who else had a powerful father and like to hang
Speaker 1: out with sex workers? I don't know many.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe we should.
Speaker 4: You know, the let he who cast the first stone
Speaker 4: don't smoke crack with your okay yeah yeah, something like that.
Speaker 4: You remember the books as well as I do.
Speaker 2: You know What's interesting?
Speaker 4: I wonder how like, as as we talk about how
Speaker 4: to upset write more and more. I feel like someone
Speaker 4: like a prominent atheist needs to come out to just
Speaker 4: be like respond to a tweet like this or be
Speaker 4: like yeah, maybe he got partoned, but Jesus won't and
Speaker 4: like the guy doesn't exist.
Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Yeah? What is what is?
Speaker 2: What is your what is your currentcy?
Speaker 4: Because I can already see how much how loaded that
Speaker 4: is to say that I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm in my bad Boy era. You know,
Speaker 2: I want to hear yeah when.
Speaker 1: I hear people create a name for this era at
Speaker 1: this time, okay.
Speaker 2: My take that, take that era? No shit, no, no,
Speaker 2: what am I saying?
Speaker 1: Watch a lot of college basketball over the long weekend
Speaker 1: and there was a what one of the tournaments was
Speaker 1: like the bad Boy Mower's Battle for Atlantis was I
Speaker 1: was like, what a time to be throwing that name
Speaker 1: for lawnmower company around.
Speaker 4: I just feel bad for that woman who is like,
Speaker 4: hey man, actually, you know, like all you have to
Speaker 4: do is ask Jesus and then it's done.
Speaker 2: And then these people like to.
Speaker 4: Gate keep their weird karmic police version of Christ where
Speaker 4: they're like, no, he will smite you because I don't
Speaker 4: like you, and because I can't violate the laws of Earth,
Speaker 4: I will live in a fantasy world where you will
Speaker 4: be Smoten.
Speaker 1: Yeah, been finally Smoten to. It is kind of wild,
Speaker 1: like people had all these ideas about what Biden could
Speaker 1: get busy doing, like now that he was a lame
Speaker 1: duck and there was an incoming fascist regime that hey,
Speaker 1: and you know, Harris seemed to agree was going to
Speaker 1: like dismantle the government as we know it. And you know,
Speaker 1: people are like, okay, day one, we got to get
Speaker 1: busy like packing the court and doing And his official
Speaker 1: actions have been to tell everybody to chill out and
Speaker 1: then a like can't beat him, join them, pardon for
Speaker 1: his son, which.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look again, that's the superpower of liberalism
Speaker 4: is to see a problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, call it out and invest in some solutions. Anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, big news from over the weekend, Mawana too.
Speaker 2: Did you see any of Wicked or Gladiator?
Speaker 1: Gladiator too?
Speaker 2: And was it was it wacky fun.
Speaker 4: That what?
Speaker 1: Yeah? It's like a bee you know, solid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Denzel, Like I was a little worried Denzel was just
Speaker 1: gonna like have a few scenes. Uh they Denzel is
Speaker 1: used adequately, I think, Yeah, that's what I hear people.
Speaker 4: Denzel's killing it and Glad like, oh I didn't realize
Speaker 4: he was in it like that, Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Release the kiss scene. Thank you. Anyways, I want to
Speaker 1: talk about something. I've long been an advocate of movies
Speaker 1: over series when when in doubt, I just feel like
Speaker 1: I would rather watch a movie have consumed a piece
Speaker 1: of art, not have like the people who made it
Speaker 1: be trying to get me to come back for another one,
Speaker 1: like you know, like their great series that couldn't have
Speaker 1: been accomplished with a movie. But Malanta too. They were
Speaker 1: going to drop this as like a streaming series on
Speaker 1: Disney Plus and nobody was going to notice that shit whatsoever.
Speaker 1: And at some point they decided to just like chop
Speaker 1: it down turn it into a feature film, and so
Speaker 1: I think it was expected to do. Like as they
Speaker 1: were coming closer to it, they were like, oh shit,
Speaker 1: like there's actually a huge appetite for this, for this
Speaker 1: huge movie has been in the top ten every year
Speaker 1: of like streaming shows like Across, Like nothing makes it
Speaker 1: into the top ten that's not on Netflix usually. Man
Speaker 1: has been to the top ten every year since it
Speaker 1: came out, Like it's it's the only movie that just
Speaker 1: like fucking states, Yeah, it's always there.
Speaker 2: It's like THEE is staying power like on the chart.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, it's it was drake for a long time. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it was expected to do one hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: five million dollars at the domestic box office, which would
Speaker 1: have been a crazy amount of money for a movie
Speaker 1: to make, Like it would have broken the previous record
Speaker 1: of one twenty five set by Frozen two. And it
Speaker 1: made two hundred and twenty five million domestic, Like she's well, yeah,
Speaker 1: just in the US. But yeah, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: I was like talking to my brother in law over
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving break and there are just so many good shows.
Speaker 1: So he's like a series person. He likes to watch
Speaker 1: a good series. And there's just like so many that
Speaker 1: like I didn't even notice came out. There are many.
Speaker 2: It's a disservice to creators.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying people should think about trying to like
Speaker 1: cut them down. I don't know, maybe you could always
Speaker 1: release it as like the extended like series cut or something,
Speaker 1: but fucking like people want movies like people, uh you know,
Speaker 1: to quote the Nicole kidman amc Ad low Key when
Speaker 1: you're here, shit hits different, you know. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. The companies that used to like make movies
Speaker 1: got told by Wall Street that they should make endless
Speaker 1: amounts of streaming content, and then they dropped so much
Speaker 1: content nobody can watch it all. Can't all be good.
Speaker 1: The entire streaming product gets watered down.
Speaker 4: And I feel like the people who are up on
Speaker 4: like every show like that, it's like that's their job.
Speaker 4: Like when I see it, like Ashley Ray or whatever,
Speaker 4: she's watching every show, but that's like entirely.
Speaker 2: Her, like her lane, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, any other time book critic, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: And I'm always I'm always impressed by the people who
Speaker 4: have like caught up like on almost nearly every show
Speaker 4: because I just I'm a completionist. I think that's why,
Speaker 4: for the same reason I prefer a movie too, because
Speaker 4: like I'm like, yeah, I can, I can watch this,
Speaker 4: and then I'm like, well, now I gotta watch I
Speaker 4: gotta do this seventeen more times.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: My wife tends to get like, uh into she's tilting
Speaker 1: on a show, like after an episode ends with a cliffhanger,
Speaker 1: it's like we got to do one more, and I'm
Speaker 1: like I'm trying to go to sleep before Yeah, one
Speaker 1: am tonight, Right.
Speaker 2: You're going you're getting up in three hours?
Speaker 1: Nah?
Speaker 2: No, I gotta know. I think it was.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know if the nurse did it. All right,
Speaker 2: you go to sleep. I'll let you know.
Speaker 4: Have you ever done that where you have to tap
Speaker 4: out and then you go all right? You watched this
Speaker 4: one and then just just when we who watch the
Speaker 4: next one?
Speaker 2: Just just tell tell me what happened because I can't.
Speaker 1: I don't yeaheah, but I don't know. It's the most
Speaker 1: any movie has ever made over a five day long weekend.
Speaker 1: And also it's kind of interesting, like cutting shows down
Speaker 1: into movies. I didn't realize this, but uh, I previously
Speaker 1: mentioned the podcast blank Check. They're doing like their David
Speaker 1: Lynch series right now, and mohalland Drive is like widely
Speaker 1: agreed to be David Lynch's best movie by like critics.
Speaker 1: At least it's ranked as like The Guardian I think
Speaker 1: did digest they like pulled one hundred and seventy seven
Speaker 1: film critics in twenty sixteen and it was ranked the
Speaker 1: number one like best movie of the twenty first century.
Speaker 1: Which I watched it when it came out. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I thought it was cool. But that was originally a
Speaker 1: TV pilot that was like like he had made Twin
Speaker 1: Peaks and that like hit with audiences in the nineties somehow,
Speaker 1: and so they were like, do another one, and so
Speaker 1: he was making this TV show and they were like
Speaker 1: this shit is way too weird. Sorry, man, it's the
Speaker 1: two thousands, get the fuck out of here. And so,
Speaker 1: and he didn't want to release it as a movie,
Speaker 1: but like he got like some producers convinced him to
Speaker 1: ABC had like thrown out all the costumes and ship
Speaker 1: all the like, had destroyed all the sets, and so
Speaker 1: he like really didn't want to do it. And that's
Speaker 1: why the third act of the movie, in which like
Speaker 1: all the characters swap identities, it's basically them just like
Speaker 1: trying to trying to fix a technical problem that like
Speaker 1: they had thrown out all this shit and didn't have
Speaker 1: enough money to like but yeah, I don't know, Like
Speaker 1: Beatle Just Too was supposed to be go straight to max.
Speaker 1: It ended up being like a massive hit.
Speaker 4: Oh they did do well monetarily, just too, ye said,
Speaker 4: Beetles just did crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a massive thing.
Speaker 2: I count on you for this information. Man, I just go,
Speaker 2: I just go.
Speaker 4: You just just my nose takes me like like the
Speaker 4: cartoons just wafting me to the theaters with nostalgia.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know. I'm just saying, guys, get
Speaker 1: give it a chance. Give these movie things a chance.
Speaker 1: It seems like people want to go to the movies.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Radiator to a lot of fun. I still
Speaker 1: need to see Wicked. But Wicked like this past weekend,
Speaker 1: like in its second weekend out still made like over
Speaker 1: one hundred million. So yeah, that movie's crushing. People are like,
Speaker 1: is it going to win Best Picture? Because it's like.
Speaker 4: It better concerning all the people I know that are
Speaker 4: holding space right now for the lyrics.
Speaker 1: Will the oscars hold space?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, that is what I wanted to happen. That
Speaker 1: is exactly what I wanted to happen. All right, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break. We'll come back and close it out.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, and we're back. We're we got
Speaker 1: another nominee that has caused people to say, can he
Speaker 1: do that? Any nominees?
Speaker 2: Every nominee feels like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, been a real air bud situation ever since he
Speaker 1: got no.
Speaker 2: Truly, it's not it's not not in the rules.
Speaker 4: But yeah, the Cash Paatel being tapped to head the
Speaker 4: FBI is one that is definitely a lot of people
Speaker 4: are like, ooh, apparently he was being he was potentially
Speaker 4: going to be deputy director. But the I think it
Speaker 4: was the Missouri attorney general that Trump interviewed at mar
Speaker 4: A Lago, Like Trump was like I don't like his vibe,
Speaker 4: like he was down to destroy like law enforcement. But
Speaker 4: they're like, he doesn't have the right quality a certain
Speaker 4: genese quah to fucking not to be director. So that's
Speaker 4: how Patel ascended to this position. This is what's wild
Speaker 4: about this I mean this guy. He is definitely one
Speaker 4: of the most brazen like loyalists in Trump's circle. And
Speaker 4: Cash Pattel is on fucking every conspiracy theory that absolves
Speaker 4: Trump of any kind of wrongdoing. Like he's into QAnon,
Speaker 4: he's anti vax it stopped the steam, it's all this shit.
Speaker 4: And he has consistently talked about going after Trump's critics,
Speaker 4: much like the Attorney general pick Pam Bondy. And so
Speaker 4: he'll probably be one of like the first appointees, even
Speaker 4: more so than Pam Bondy, I think to really test
Speaker 4: like what the guardrails are in terms of what the
Speaker 4: courts are able to prevent, because you think about it,
Speaker 4: he's he's gonna weaponize the FBI to fuck with people
Speaker 4: that are not falling in line with Trump, probably specifically
Speaker 4: like Democrats, who have you know, been a been a
Speaker 4: thorn in his side. Let's put it lightly. Yeah, that's
Speaker 4: where you're gonna see him again. Like you're like, okay,
Speaker 4: what are they gonna tap people's phones? Typically you need
Speaker 4: like evidence or probable cause and a court, like a
Speaker 4: judge has to sign off on it. Are these all
Speaker 4: these things gonna get side stepped and basically just do
Speaker 4: this all illegally just because you have all the toys
Speaker 4: to do that. Will the courts intervene? I mean we've
Speaker 4: already seen that. The Supreme Court is like, I don't know, dude,
Speaker 4: ever fucking wrong, I don't care, due fucking just buy
Speaker 4: me a new RV and we're fucking day.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Because the other thing too is you don't like these people,
Speaker 4: don't like any target of Trump wouldn't even necessarily need
Speaker 4: to be prosecuted. Just merely having an investigation launched is
Speaker 4: enough to fucking jar someone like, you know, it would
Speaker 4: make the target of investigations life a legal and financial
Speaker 4: hell because you bleed hundreds of thousands of dollars in
Speaker 4: legal fees just to contend with an investigation. And really,
Speaker 4: I think that's the point is they'll probably go after
Speaker 4: a few people, create the fear, and then like, you know,
Speaker 4: be like you don't want that, dude, because.
Speaker 2: Remember what happened to this person. Remember what happened to
Speaker 2: that person.
Speaker 4: And that's where I think is the freaky part of
Speaker 4: what we're gonna see is like him truly turning, you know,
Speaker 4: turning the FBI on white American.
Speaker 1: People this time, right, so it could be.
Speaker 4: Very Yeah, I mean, I think this is the one
Speaker 4: A lot of people are like, this guy fucking never
Speaker 4: says no to Trump.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't get this by the fact that he wants
Speaker 1: to tear down the FBI, and like, don't don't get
Speaker 1: distracted by his good ideas because he is a full
Speaker 1: on QAnon believer. Like that's when we first were talking
Speaker 1: about QAnon. It was like this thing that existed in
Speaker 1: the depths of the Internet, and now it's like the
Speaker 1: armed wing of the federal government is going to be
Speaker 1: run by someone who seems to actually like believe in
Speaker 1: this death cult that Donald Trump is the figurehead of.
Speaker 1: He wrote a children's book about Donald Trump being King. Also,
Speaker 1: there's this Guardian article on the PTEL appointment that just mentions,
Speaker 1: like other people that he appointed recently, it says, shows
Speaker 1: no sign of moderating his leadership choices for his upcoming administration.
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, he tapped Charles Kushner, father of his
Speaker 1: son in law Jared Kushner and a convicted felon and
Speaker 1: who he pardoned in twenty twenty, as US ambassador to France.
Speaker 1: On Sunday, he announced on truth Social that he'd chosen
Speaker 1: his daughter Tiffany's father in law Asad bullohs, I don't
Speaker 1: know how that's pronounced, to be Senior advisor on Arab
Speaker 1: and Middle Eastern affairs. Bulos, a Lebanese billionaire, was active
Speaker 1: in Trump's presidential campaign, Like he talked, I guess openly
Speaker 1: about how he's you know, only trusts billionaires to write
Speaker 1: and he's just going with the billionaires that he knows.
Speaker 1: That's that's where we're headed.
Speaker 2: Or like bloodthirsty cops.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, this one bloodthirsty cop. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this one at least doesn't seem like it's overtly corrupt.
Speaker 1: He's picked a county sheriff, Chad Cronister from Florida to
Speaker 1: head the Drug Enforcement Administration. His father in law, however,
Speaker 1: was pardoned by Trump three years ago on a conviction
Speaker 1: for involvement gambling fraud case. And his father in law
Speaker 1: is a billionaire owner of the forty nine Ers, the
Speaker 1: NFL football team.
Speaker 4: So cool, cool, Yeah, I mean it, it just makes sense.
Speaker 2: It's just open oligarchy.
Speaker 4: Step right up, here's your chance to run something into
Speaker 4: the ground or play pretend with a powerful position.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it doesn't I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 4: It's just like at first I was like, oh this,
Speaker 4: this can't be good, and now we're just fully becoming
Speaker 4: numb to how you know. I guess this is just
Speaker 4: very normal for Trump though, too very normal Trump picks,
Speaker 4: I guess.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Just things that would be like massive red
Speaker 1: flags if you were doing them in a car repair shop,
Speaker 1: you know, and he's doing them like running who.
Speaker 2: The guy who stole catalytic converters a bunch, Like, wasn't
Speaker 2: he convicted? Yeah? Yeah, but he now he's good at
Speaker 2: fixing catalytic converter stuff.
Speaker 1: Just family, all family. It's all family and people who've
Speaker 1: like given him money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well I guess that's the secret. Folks. Just
Speaker 2: be a billionaire and just watch this space.
Speaker 1: Watch this space for more exciting developments. We gotta we
Speaker 1: gotta do a Trump free one of these days. What
Speaker 1: do we think? Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I don't want Thursdays? Is that what we
Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's where it started. We started with
Speaker 4: Trump free Thursdays. So maybe we we bring back Trump
Speaker 4: free Thursdays.
Speaker 1: I think let let us know, uh, if you if
Speaker 1: you're hungry for some Trump free days.
Speaker 4: We haven't even started the administration, and we can replace
Speaker 4: it with crypto tips, so I don't know that could
Speaker 4: work too.
Speaker 2: You know, might as well get ahead of stuff. Did
Speaker 2: you see the cash hotel?
Speaker 4: He posted the fucking saddest image on his Twitter that
Speaker 4: was like him, look at this the Guardians Galaxy.
Speaker 1: That's amazing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it says fight cash, wizards and warlocks.
Speaker 2: Uh huh, I don't know what I mean. Like everyone
Speaker 2: is so for lack of a better word, stupid.
Speaker 4: I just don't like it's dangerous, you know, what I
Speaker 4: mean when it's like you there, suddenly you have all
Speaker 4: this like law enforcement mechanisms at your disposal.
Speaker 2: But then I don't know if he's gonna just be
Speaker 2: like I don't know, I don't know. I'm just I guess.
Speaker 4: I'll just wait to see what happens as it happens.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, it's there's so much we can't.
Speaker 4: One version is you just want to cope and be like,
Speaker 4: oh man, those people are so fucking out of it
