Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, I found a good The Office
Speaker 1: fan theory that they're all suffering from Radon poisoning as
Speaker 1: the show proceeds on Reddit because we're gonna discuss the
Speaker 1: fan theory a little bit later on. And I was
Speaker 1: like going through being like, what are some other blank
Speaker 1: was dead all along fan theories and like the top
Speaker 1: one of the top red subreddit fan theories is that
Speaker 1: they're all suffering from Radon poisoning at that factory because
Speaker 1: like in an early season, I guess Toby's really worried
Speaker 1: about Radon poisoning and everyone's like, shut up, Toby. But
Speaker 1: then like the characters kind of get dumber as they
Speaker 1: as the show goes, the the flanderization of the characters
Speaker 1: becoming more over the top, and they're like, that's because
Speaker 1: radon poison.
Speaker 2: Oh shit, first second, my third tsing about Radon chongs
Speaker 2: the act. Then I realized that you're not yet. Yeah, yep,
Speaker 2: that part.

Speaker 1: Anyways, I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my
Speaker 1: co host mister Miles Gram.
Speaker 3: Miles Gray a kas note that you la you knowice
Speaker 3: ballskin Ah Again, I got to go back to the
Speaker 3: fucking femur bone that the guy found. We can't get
Speaker 3: off of this. The guy thought it was fucking a
Speaker 3: big ball sack and it was a dinosaur bone. Jesus
Speaker 3: and I just came up with that ak too. Hell yeah,
Speaker 3: yeah that was for me, and that was for y'all
Speaker 3: Wiki movie.
Speaker 1: Because it also suggests, like we've said, that his ballsack
Speaker 1: is connected to his penis in like a very weird way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that it's like mechanically part of his skeletal structure. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so yeah, targinal Targano, like I wrote.
Speaker 1: A schedulearly for stuff that must have had happened uncracked.
Speaker 1: That was like the guy, the guy who drew the penis,
Speaker 1: the big golden penis in the background of the Little
Speaker 1: Mermaid poster and he has there's a quote like I
Speaker 1: researched him. I was like, why did he do that?
Speaker 1: And he was like, I did not. I do not
Speaker 1: think that looks like a penis, sir. And I was like,
Speaker 1: so you must have a very unique looking penis. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you must have a strange looking penis. And similar with
Speaker 1: the ballsack guy, it's like your balls must be like
Speaker 1: have a weird relationship to the skeletal structure of your body.
Speaker 1: If that if you thought that was a giant's scrot him.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Anyway, again, more questions than answers, I think, is
Speaker 2: what we've been saying. Miles.
Speaker 1: We are thrilled to be joined in our third seat
Speaker 1: by one of the very faces on Mount Zeitemore, a
Speaker 1: hilarious and brilliant producer and TV writer. You know him
Speaker 1: from the Joaz this racist podcast, it's Andrew.
Speaker 2: What I'm just gonna say, aka the procrast teenager, because
Speaker 2: I completely did have I had nothing prepared for everything
Speaker 2: we're about to talk about, and I am currently. I
Speaker 2: was just I was just about to I've been let's see,
Speaker 2: we'll say I've been not working on this thing that
Speaker 2: I really should try to get done for about like
Speaker 2: fifteen consecutive like work hours. Now it's like two and
Speaker 2: a half days ish into day three. I just don't
Speaker 2: want to do it. Yeah, I got this note on
Speaker 2: a script that I just I'm like, I can't make
Speaker 2: it work.
Speaker 1: So your pain is our gain, because yeah, what are
Speaker 1: your procrastination? When we hit you up and said somebody
Speaker 1: had to back out last second, we got Andrew.
Speaker 2: Ready to go frantically but frantically reading the document right now,
Speaker 2: it's like, great, this is it's not rewriting this script
Speaker 2: and so it's great. You know, honest, I was about
Speaker 2: to like either I was gonna work out and reclean
Speaker 2: the kitchen. Oh yeah clean, damn yeah people, time forty
Speaker 2: deep clean. I seasoned. I seasoned a carbon steel walk
Speaker 2: that doesn't be seasoning.
Speaker 1: Like, no, you really shouldn't You're like, I just did
Speaker 1: I just did it cares Yeah, yeah, yeah, are you?
Speaker 2: Uh dude?
Speaker 3: I see like all the pure those carbon steel pants
Speaker 3: I see popping up so much now, not just like
Speaker 3: in walk form, Like I feel like everybody's on carbon
Speaker 3: steel now.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I I this is the first carbon steel thing
Speaker 2: I've ever owned. Right, it's better than I I get.
Speaker 2: And I got a cheap O one. It's like very thick.
Speaker 2: I had to throw out. I didn't have to, I suppose,
Speaker 2: but I realized the walk I'd been using was one
Speaker 2: that I got in New York Chinatown when I was
Speaker 2: in just out of college. Yeah, and it probably in
Speaker 2: price averaged out to about seventy cents a year I've
Speaker 2: owned it, and that thing was sort of more rust
Speaker 2: than walk by the time I threw it. I got
Speaker 2: every time I ate something, Yeah, that that ship had
Speaker 2: to go. So I just got like a like a
Speaker 2: cheap o like carbon carbon, not cheap, a medium cheap
Speaker 2: o carbon. So and it's pretty good. Yea, what is
Speaker 2: this red rubs on this thing that you've cooked? Very Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is a little iria too, kind of minerally, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that I was not taking such good care of the
Speaker 2: old walk or r I p.
Speaker 1: To that was thank you for your service the old
Speaker 1: wa Yeah, that's a great way to think about, like
Speaker 1: the sense per year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that thing lasted a long time and it
Speaker 2: was very cheap, and I brought it from New York,
Speaker 2: which is in retrospect very stupid, like it was made
Speaker 2: to be thrown away, right right, I just did you
Speaker 2: brought it with you? Like on the plane? Is sh
Speaker 2: it holding it? Only carry on? Yeah? I have been
Speaker 2: doing my morning eggs Japanese ish style with little cornstarch
Speaker 2: water in the eggs, slur to do it like the
Speaker 2: like how you do like an amor rice? Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: yeah it's great. That's my just free free holidays. Have
Speaker 2: you seen have you seen the Tornado egg? Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: kind of that. It's kind of that vibe too. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm not like fully doing all the thing with the
Speaker 2: with the chopsticks and ship.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, it's it's that vibe. It looks cool. I
Speaker 3: mean it looks better than it is. Like that's what
Speaker 3: I give the Tornado egg. Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2: All those all those eggs are like it's like yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just but it's it's a lot easier because that
Speaker 2: way with the corn starts slur, you don't have to
Speaker 2: like watch it as closely. It doesn't like cook nearly
Speaker 2: as quickly. So that's mainly why I do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, I put water in my eggs. That's I
Speaker 1: don't do corn starch.
Speaker 2: Water though, way, try a little, try, a little start.
Speaker 2: The answer to your question is, I don't know what
Speaker 2: does it do? Not sure?
Speaker 1: I mean the water makes it very tender, not that
Speaker 1: my egg were like chewy before, but you know that
Speaker 1: makes it like very soft, and it's very difficult to
Speaker 1: overcook them, you know, Yes, yeah, stays nice and soft.
Speaker 2: They stay a little bit more tender, more tender, you know.
Speaker 2: That's what it is. That's just buys a little try
Speaker 2: a little bit of corner potato starch, just that Like
Speaker 2: I do like the amount that the vessel that I
Speaker 2: used to get it out of the container is a fork.
Speaker 2: So however much can basically fit on the times of
Speaker 2: a fork plus like water plus eggs, you know, whatever
Speaker 2: kind of eyeball it. But just a little bit of
Speaker 2: corn starch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, eggs are for someone who has kind of generally
Speaker 1: high cholesterol eggs like I always knew eggs were a
Speaker 1: thing that people are like they have a lot of cholesterol,
Speaker 1: Like one egg has like seventy percent of your daily
Speaker 1: allotment of cholesterol.
Speaker 2: I think I was reading so many eggs. This is
Speaker 2: my my brain, clearly, my my underrated is also a
Speaker 2: breakfast thing. I just I just forgot that. I typed
Speaker 2: that twenty seconds ago. We're gonna find it. Get ready.
Speaker 2: This is a breakfast It's a real breakfast theme. This
Speaker 2: is this this podcast. What I'm bringing to the table
Speaker 2: this episode is basically like like usual suspect style. Just
Speaker 2: I'm only to be talking about the things that I
Speaker 2: just did or can see right now. I just pull
Speaker 2: it off the wall. All I got. That's my level
Speaker 2: of prep. It's like if I can if it's in
Speaker 2: my field of vision or it's in my like short
Speaker 2: term memory. Yeah, that's all I got.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one egg sixty daily value of cholesterol.
Speaker 2: That's too much. I'm fucked. Damn son, damn. How you
Speaker 2: gonna unclog that? Any means you should you should eat
Speaker 2: like no more animal matter. Basically, if you have an
Speaker 2: omelet in the morning, right right right, that's it vegan,
Speaker 2: but omelet for cholesterol you're on the juice cleanse for
Speaker 2: the rest of the day.
Speaker 3: Right right, yeah, all right, think about it, folks, All right,
Speaker 3: what could possibly go wrong?
Speaker 2: Andrew? We're gonna get to know you a little bit
Speaker 2: better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listen,
Speaker 2: is a couple of things we're talking about. Everyone's quitting Congress.
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about that. Grock Groke. Also in the
Speaker 2: good news category, Groke, the anti woke chat bot is
Speaker 2: finally here. Wait is it Groke? Grock? Probably right either one.
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, it's so. It's just like when you
Speaker 2: look at that those four letters, you're like, man, fuck
Speaker 2: this thing. G R okay whatever you are. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: feel like if it was GROC, it would be g
Speaker 2: R O c K. But can I can I just
Speaker 2: say neither of you guys have spent time in the
Speaker 2: computer programming trenches. It's definitely GROC and GROC is computer
Speaker 2: per like white guy like your white I T guy
Speaker 2: with a beard who like you don't want to talk
Speaker 2: to slang for understand.
Speaker 3: Oh dude, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Is it like a verb like I grock that or
Speaker 1: are they just like h exactly do.
Speaker 2: You do you Grock. What I'm saying, get the funk
Speaker 2: out of here.
Speaker 1: I believe here's a quote if you get your ass
Speaker 1: kicked saying something like that, and most.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, Overwatch too is a complicated game that will
Speaker 3: take a long time for new players to fully Grock.
Speaker 2: Oh right, yeah, it's yeah, we don't need to anyway,
Speaker 2: I promise you. What's rock? And well I Grock? Cool.
Speaker 1: So we've got that, and we'll look at the Dead
Speaker 1: Kevin theory of Home alone because it's kind of interesting
Speaker 1: and yeah, I don't know. I love good fans all
Speaker 1: of that plenty more. But first, Andrew, we do like
Speaker 1: to ask our guest, what is something from your search history?
Speaker 2: I had to look this up because I realized I
Speaker 2: was talking so much ship immediately after watching the movie
Speaker 2: saltburn with my friend, and then I very clearly became
Speaker 2: it very quickly became clear I didn't know what the
Speaker 2: fuck I was talking about because I didn't basically what
Speaker 2: I what I had to search was is saltburn a book?
Speaker 2: And the answer is it is absolutely not a book.
Speaker 2: Saltburne is the what's your name? Emerald Farnell directed this
Speaker 2: new movie. I think it's a theater.
Speaker 1: Promising young woman director played Camilla Bowles in The Crown.
Speaker 2: Oh I did not know that. I I don't know
Speaker 2: anything about I. I have a real limit to like
Speaker 2: all the like British white people kind of like become
Speaker 2: the same person to me. Yeah, so wow, wow, as
Speaker 2: soon as you is it, we shrugged off the yoke
Speaker 2: of colonials and they all went back to the faceless
Speaker 2: white masses they always should have been. But uh yeah,
Speaker 2: because it's just it's in that style of like the
Speaker 2: fucking like you know, schoolboy at private college, public college,
Speaker 2: whatever college, Like this.
Speaker 1: Ship was written by Ian or not Ian Fleming. What's
Speaker 1: that guy's name who writes those McKellen. I yes, it's
Speaker 1: it's that kind of ship where I was like, this
Speaker 1: has to be a book, right. What I will say is,
Speaker 1: I wait.
Speaker 2: I thought you were doing P. G.
Speaker 1: Wodehouse Ian the Atonement guy.
Speaker 2: It's that kind of bullshit, it's like, and it does
Speaker 2: play with that form that clearly I am very, very
Speaker 2: very unfamiliar with. So I mostly enjoyed that movie on
Speaker 2: a I'm loving watching these the horrible white people do
Speaker 2: horrible things to each other, and yeah, it's sucking. It's
Speaker 2: it's entertaining. I I it's definitely one of those movies
Speaker 2: I walked out of. You know, as part of this conversation,
Speaker 2: I did realize I didn't understand probably anything that happened
Speaker 2: actually in it. But you're right, I got very hard,
Speaker 2: very fun to watch.
Speaker 1: It's like about class in the UK, and so there's
Speaker 1: like all sorts of signaling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all kinds of signaling and mannerisms and like some
Speaker 2: ship where I'm like, yeah, I guess without getting into
Speaker 2: spoilers too, I was like, I don't. I think this
Speaker 2: doesn't know. This no longer means what I think they
Speaker 2: think it should mean. But what do I know? Plus
Speaker 2: salt doesn't burn pepperburn salt, dog, I know, I know?
Speaker 2: And chorn starks corn stark, chord starts don't what do
Speaker 2: you mean stars that could hurt con can't melt steel
Speaker 2: beats that house we believe that X is actually still
Speaker 2: called Twitter and corn starts cannot melt steel beams. There
Speaker 2: we go, what is up? The thing is overrated? This
Speaker 2: is something I realize it is about to say it.
Speaker 2: I think there's like a medium chance I said the
Speaker 2: identical thing at about this time last year on this show. Okay,
Speaker 2: but I'll say it again, which is like it's it's
Speaker 2: I just want to say I understand this makes me
Speaker 2: like a kind of gatekeepy dick. But it is once
Speaker 2: again the holiday season and the mutual aid group that
Speaker 2: I try to help out with called Solidarating Snacks. We're
Speaker 2: out there every Saturday on skid Row Solidating Snacks. This
Speaker 2: is my plug also, but it is so like bonkers
Speaker 2: how much like just the between Thanksgiving and Christmas, like
Speaker 2: charity comes in. Like there's just so many fucking like
Speaker 2: church groups and people mostly church groups up, I'm being honest,
Speaker 2: or they are like one time a year and this
Speaker 2: is when everybody it's interested. Yeah, it's really just like
Speaker 2: you know, people are fucking like need resources in April
Speaker 2: also right like and also like you can feel guilty
Speaker 2: about what you have and others don't year round. Actually
Speaker 2: you really motivate your charity, it really, It really is
Speaker 2: this weird vibe where you just like see all these
Speaker 2: people that you're like, I know I'm never going to
Speaker 2: see you again, or I'll maybe i'll see you next Christmas. Basically,
Speaker 2: but you know there is better than not. And obviously
Speaker 2: for many reasons like there's not enough stuff for anyone,
Speaker 2: but it is a little just like consider giving at
Speaker 2: all times or contributing to your community at all times
Speaker 2: of the year, not just not just the one or
Speaker 2: if you're really cool, like even if even if you're
Speaker 2: like group is only good for once a year, Like
Speaker 2: just like maybe do it the week after January. Do it?
Speaker 2: Do it? It looks cool January. Yeah, you're working on myself,
Speaker 2: that's been working on these abs.
Speaker 3: It's more effective, or just like give money, right, it's like,
Speaker 3: all right, show up in December, but like for the
Speaker 3: other eleven months, you know, put a little bit in
Speaker 3: the hat and then when you show up and be like, yo,
Speaker 3: we're here and we got it back.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. It's really anyway, sorry, this is both counterproductive
Speaker 2: gate keepy and not cool of me, but it's overrated.
Speaker 3: You're just being Look, you're giving your perspective and you're
Speaker 3: not trying to say that it's an absolute we get.
Speaker 2: Really, I'm just like not. It is one of those
Speaker 2: like figuratively, get the fuck out of here and obviously
Speaker 2: thank you for yeah, like something.
Speaker 3: In like doing that kind of work too. You can
Speaker 3: definitely see people who are like there to like absolve themselves. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they're bad behavior, Like you know, like we're like you
Speaker 3: see people really pat themselves on the back in a
Speaker 3: way where it's like it feels performative rather than like
Speaker 3: it's fine if you have one time a year or
Speaker 3: something to do something. But you also, I've you definitely
Speaker 3: notice an energy to where it's like, aren't we so
Speaker 3: good for doing this? And I will not fucking think
Speaker 3: about it until the pastor gilts me into it eleven months.
Speaker 2: Well, there's also the element of like proselytizing that occurs
Speaker 2: in those.
Speaker 1: Instances when we're saying, oh, yeah, fucking just hand the
Speaker 1: shit out the presence, not for me, it's from Jesus.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. All that being said, you know, any anything
Speaker 2: is good at any time, of course, of course, of course,
Speaker 2: of course, yeah.
Speaker 1: Better to do something than nothing, but maybe not all
Speaker 1: at once at the time when it's most convenient and
Speaker 1: feel goody for you. You have like a nice fun
Speaker 1: soundtrack of Christmas songs.
Speaker 2: Often that's the only time of the year we take
Speaker 2: which we try to go every I mean I think
Speaker 2: we've been successfully going every Saturday for like almost three
Speaker 2: years now, and the only time that we just schedule
Speaker 2: a we're not going to be there is like the
Speaker 2: one right around Christmas Day because it's just like everybody
Speaker 2: else so much.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right, everyone else got this. Yeah, not that
Speaker 1: we got anything, but you know what I'm yeah, what
Speaker 1: what's something you think is underwritten?
Speaker 2: All right? All right, get ready? This is more breakfast
Speaker 2: talk and actually probably related. Just like a straight up
Speaker 2: salad for breakfast. Nothing just no like yeah, no, no
Speaker 2: nod well like or whatever like salad but yeah no,
Speaker 2: no nod towards like there's an egg in it. There's
Speaker 2: no like kale with a running egg or just like
Speaker 2: it's just a normal ass depressing bag salad. If you
Speaker 2: got it, that's what this is. Yeah. I literally had
Speaker 2: a even worse. I had a Von's bag salad for yesterday,
Speaker 2: and I was like, this is not ideal. It was
Speaker 2: mostly because it was like probably gonna it was near
Speaker 2: the end of its you should eat this like there,
Speaker 2: But I weirdly did feel more good than I like
Speaker 2: to admit yesterday because if you ate like a pile
Speaker 2: of eggs, yeah exactly, the eggs that are gott to
Speaker 2: kill you. And so did you put it on a bag.
Speaker 4: Jack, No, just a regular salad. Bro no salad on
Speaker 4: a stack of flat flat jacks. Jack No, no man,
Speaker 4: just a regular I did.
Speaker 2: Actually my nod to breakfast was I had like a
Speaker 2: fucking like cranberry like kale and broccoli stem salad from
Speaker 2: Vons and a cup of black coffee. He like, there
Speaker 2: you go. That was just like grim man. That feels trim.
Speaker 2: I'm on a black coffee kick too, grim as fuck. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I've been doing this thing I got. This is just
Speaker 2: based off of like twenty five seconds of YouTube advice.
Speaker 2: So I don't even know if this is good, but
Speaker 2: I've been doing because it's just myself in here. Pour
Speaker 2: over coffee, one cup of pour over in the morning.
Speaker 2: And then the thing that I saw that I've been
Speaker 2: trying that I think is working a cold bloom on
Speaker 2: the grounds instead of a whole bloom. So for the bloom,
Speaker 2: usually you put a little bit of their hot water
Speaker 2: on the beans.
Speaker 3: Let that kick it for like thirty seconds a minute,
Speaker 3: and they're saying just to put cold water first, like
Speaker 3: like room tap.
Speaker 2: I've been putting like like kind of like let's see
Speaker 2: it's it's all in fucking centigrade.
Speaker 3: So I'm trying like like about a like, wow, you're
Speaker 3: on that coffee ship to the place that you went
Speaker 3: to to centigrade.
Speaker 2: Wow, it's probably sixty some sixty seventy degrees, no eighty
Speaker 2: degrees maybe something like that. Okay, so it's not like
Speaker 2: cold cold, but it's not it's not. Yeah, it's what
Speaker 2: do you do at five? That's exactly what my kettle
Speaker 2: is set to to five? I know, y'all. I put
Speaker 2: in and uh so the cold bloom, but bloom for
Speaker 2: longer like two minutes. It's been tasting pretty good.
Speaker 3: I can't like to be this new beans too. Yeah,
Speaker 3: think about it? Are you so sort of thinking about
Speaker 3: the flavor that? Are you like hand grind? Like are
Speaker 3: you taking a lot of steps to like that all
Speaker 3: the nice ish grinder? Okay, damn, like like one of
Speaker 3: those but not I do have a hand grinder, but
Speaker 3: I guess I could go back to using it. I
Speaker 3: threw that into my camping stuff because oh yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3: It makes sense there.
Speaker 1: Now I know what a cold and hot bloom are
Speaker 1: for the listener of All right, so what you're doing
Speaker 1: or you're doing pour over right?
Speaker 2: You have your grounds and you put in the little
Speaker 2: fucking funnel thing. And this is like if you're at
Speaker 2: a fancy coffee shop where they like you see them
Speaker 2: pour that little kettle like measuring little scale. The bloom
Speaker 2: is at the beginning where you put in yeah, usually
Speaker 2: three times the amount of water as weight compared to
Speaker 2: the bean. So if you have fifteen grams of beans,
Speaker 2: put forty five grams of water and just let it sit.
Speaker 2: And what the bloom does, and that's the time when
Speaker 2: all the carbon dioxident comes up, so the little like
Speaker 2: looks like a little the little coffee grounds are blooming.
Speaker 2: And so most people do that at boiling hot and
Speaker 2: just throw it out there, you know, try it, Try
Speaker 2: it cold ish, colder yeah, yes, yes, summer pool temperature,
Speaker 2: that's right, that's right. Cool, but not cold.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because if you're living out like in Chicago right now,
Speaker 3: then you open up your tap not that not no.
Speaker 2: No, no, that's true. I do. I put the kettle
Speaker 2: on and I just like kind of in the middle
Speaker 2: of it, grab it out to the bloom, and then
Speaker 2: put it back on the the warmer. You first, that
Speaker 2: little cough of like yeah, yeah, anyway, that's what I'm
Speaker 2: went up to damn breakfast advice breakfast.
Speaker 3: Salad because it just happened. The only reason I can
Speaker 3: tell you this is because it just happened. And also, uh,
Speaker 3: Mason Jars.
Speaker 2: Also uh, my phone loving my phone handle this candle
Speaker 2: from Costco that's on my desk.
Speaker 1: I don't think I'll be able to get used to
Speaker 1: like the where you pour the milk over the salad
Speaker 1: like it's cereal which.
Speaker 2: Breakfast. And also this this bugs money in Space jam
Speaker 2: toy from the nineties that a US is racist.
Speaker 3: Listener sent Wow, Wow, that looks like some shit you'd
Speaker 3: win at Magic Mountain like back in the day.
Speaker 2: It feels like I can't remember why. We were pretty
Speaker 2: convinced it was like official ish, but yeah, it does
Speaker 2: look pretty official. It also looks like he has like
Speaker 2: he's about to or like he's just suffered a head shot.
Speaker 2: There's something about his like facial expression like he's kind
Speaker 2: of looking up and his mouth is a gape. Yeah,
Speaker 2: his eyes his eyes are let's just say they were
Speaker 2: they were not, they seem like they were. It's a
Speaker 2: toy from the nineties, so I'm not dude, it looks
Speaker 2: like people are selling it. Oh no, the eyes are
Speaker 2: just as fucked up. Okay, never mind, I was gonna
Speaker 2: say I thought mine might be the result of just
Speaker 2: don't have a tag though in this eBay al right
Speaker 2: about twenty ten bucks, ish, I thought mine might be
Speaker 2: the result of you know, the we'll say, undercompensated labor
Speaker 2: was right, They has no need to give what the
Speaker 2: eyes look like when they're playing. Yeah, yeah, might be
Speaker 2: perspiring well yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and some kind of shock.
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, let's take a quick break. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back, and we're back. We're back, and yeah, so
Speaker 1: it seems like we're just there's a lot of stories
Speaker 1: about people leaving Congress. Yeah, like more than their own will,
Speaker 1: with their own will, like on purpose, Yeah, more than normal.
Speaker 2: Even what's going on here, Miles.
Speaker 3: I think it's just it's like the feeling I'm getting
Speaker 3: is like, wow, even Congress is over Congress at this point,
Speaker 3: because the last couple of weeks we've seen a lot
Speaker 3: of people, right, just in November alone, thirteen members of
Speaker 3: the House and Senate Sam.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a rap for us, bro.
Speaker 3: We're not even we're not running for reelection, and that's
Speaker 3: a number that hasn't been seen in like over a decade,
Speaker 3: and you know more notably, we had George Santos, he
Speaker 3: got the boot.
Speaker 2: McCarthy fucking rage quit. You know, he was like, not
Speaker 2: only am I not running.
Speaker 3: For reelection, I'm not even gonna be back from break
Speaker 3: after this. Okay, I'm gone in January. You will not
Speaker 3: see me anymore. And even old bow Tie McHenry, the
Speaker 3: man who got to have the gavel for a little bit.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the man who. Yeah, I think it's probably
Speaker 3: one of those things like when you truly reached that summit,
Speaker 3: he's probably like, yo, bro, like I probably shouldn't ye,
Speaker 3: Like I'm fucked like nothing.
Speaker 1: Gavel is like the ring from Lord of the Rings.
Speaker 1: It just ruins people. He didn't want to become smooking.
Speaker 2: That's what happened. Oh man, I gotta I just read
Speaker 2: the first half. That pretty dope. Yeah shit, it makes sense.
Speaker 2: That makes sense. Actually, so cool, like invisible like I'll
Speaker 2: see it. Ship seems cool, dog.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like someone's like whispering to you all the time,
Speaker 3: like I don't know, I'm kind of lonely, right but yeah,
Speaker 3: right now we're seeing the other thing is we're seeing
Speaker 3: members from both parties. Yeah, both parties were headed for
Speaker 3: the exits.
Speaker 2: And normally before an election year, we see this all
Speaker 2: the time.
Speaker 3: People retire because they anticipate a l They're like, yo, bro,
Speaker 3: the wave is coming from me. Like I'm not even
Speaker 3: gonna fucking waste my time or my donors time. Like
Speaker 3: I've already like it's done its thing, I'm out. And
Speaker 3: that's what makes this year different because a lot of
Speaker 3: these members aren't necessarily leaving because of the writing on
Speaker 3: the wall for them. They are leaving because, in their words,
Speaker 3: Congress is quote not the optimal place to do good
Speaker 3: and make change.
Speaker 2: A Democrat, Okay.
Speaker 3: We have and then and it's not just Democrats that
Speaker 3: are saying this place ups either. Republican Debbie LESCo of
Speaker 3: Arizona said that DC is basically totally broken and there's
Speaker 3: no way to get anything done. That's and I'm like, wait,
Speaker 3: but but that's true. And I thought that's like your
Speaker 3: whole soggy dream as a Republican party is that the
Speaker 3: government would become inert, break the.
Speaker 1: Government, right, yeah, yeah, that's like when yeah, exactly, like
Speaker 1: all your everybody's been saying that for a minute.
Speaker 3: They're like fuck government and shit, I mean, I know
Speaker 3: I'm here, but fuck this and what's true though, they
Speaker 3: haven't really got anything done recently, like aside from censuring
Speaker 3: each other. Jamal Bowman just got censured for pulling the
Speaker 3: fire alarm obviously, they censured Rashida Talib for speaking out
Speaker 3: and like really despicable censuring of her. Where Democrats joint
Speaker 3: and then we have like either that or government shut
Speaker 3: down fights or just despicable resolutions, like recently trying to
Speaker 3: conflate anti Zionism with anti Semitism. There's like, yeah, you're like, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's you're not a lot of serious shit is going on,
Speaker 3: and if you try, it's like you got people like
Speaker 3: Matt Gets and the others being you know, can fucking
Speaker 3: hold the entire business of the of the house hostage basically,
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's kind of they're all just, I guess,
Speaker 3: bummed out, but it's probably more it's probably more like
Speaker 3: better to just I'm sure from their perspective, like why
Speaker 3: should I get threats from death threats from maga freaks
Speaker 3: when I could just go be a consultant and then
Speaker 3: get a bag in the shadows and nobody.
Speaker 2: Fucking nobody even has to fucking look at me. Anymore.
Speaker 1: But I can get a bag, get paid very little
Speaker 1: to have your life threatened, or yeah, go go work
Speaker 1: for private equity.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I guess it's it's just I feel like
Speaker 2: it's got to just be like the cycle is shortening
Speaker 2: like it used to be, Like you paid your dues
Speaker 2: in Congress, like you got to grease a few palms,
Speaker 2: or get your palms grease. I don't know what that
Speaker 2: term means really, but and then you move on to
Speaker 2: like you're speaking, you know, like consulting kind of like
Speaker 2: cushy bullshit. Right, it feels like like these people all
Speaker 2: just have to realize, like, well, I think part of
Speaker 2: it is like this George Santos of it is like
Speaker 2: you can just be kind of like a vague political
Speaker 2: influencer and like it doesn't you don't have to put
Speaker 2: it nearly enough time, in as much time as you
Speaker 2: used to in Congress before you can just get away
Speaker 2: with that ship.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, like or so why not yeah, or be
Speaker 3: a freshman and just say the wildest ship and suddenly
Speaker 3: everyone's like, is.
Speaker 2: This the new darling of the GOP? And that's how
Speaker 2: you get I've been doing dog whistles for nineteen years
Speaker 2: on the set. Yeah, you don't fucking notice me, and
Speaker 2: that this person comes in front of their boo, you know,
Speaker 2: like you gotta feel bad, Yeah, gotta feel bad for
Speaker 2: the patient racists. Yeah, you know how long Newt Gingrich
Speaker 2: had to wait? Come on? Yeah, George Santos did it
Speaker 2: like fucking like a tenth of the time. And then
Speaker 2: he's laughing at you all on fucking Cameo with all
Speaker 2: the fucking money he's making. Is that real?
Speaker 1: Like I saw some headlines that are like this guy
Speaker 1: is gonna be a millionaire off Cameo.
Speaker 2: Is a pap millionaire. But you can make it, bro,
Speaker 2: there are people probably possible.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are people who have who have podcasts, who
Speaker 3: have been on TV shows that I've worked with and
Speaker 3: I found out what they were man on camera.
Speaker 2: I could not believe it. But like you gotta be
Speaker 2: on like a if you're in a big show, you
Speaker 2: can definitely get some passive inky off that mean it's
Speaker 2: not very passive. Nearly pass yeah, pasink, but I think
Speaker 2: what it is is it's not quite passive. But what
Speaker 2: it is is like even if you can make a
Speaker 2: even at the low, low low end, like you know,
Speaker 2: a couple dozen dollars for fifteen seconds of work on
Speaker 2: your phone, right right, Yeah, if you if you hustle,
Speaker 2: you can really make that add up quick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess so if the if the asks are
Speaker 1: there and you truly don't give a fuck, you're just
Speaker 1: like read what is on prompter, then yeah, you can
Speaker 1: probably do pretty well.
Speaker 2: You don't you know, and you're only ever doing it
Speaker 2: as yourself. There's no like there's also like no real
Speaker 2: like incentive for repeat business. So guess what, you don't
Speaker 2: really even have to do a good job. Yeah, Like,
Speaker 2: here's what he's doing. And right now George Santos is
Speaker 2: charging about four hundred a pop. You could message him
Speaker 2: for twenty He's a really good YELP rating of four
Speaker 2: point nine to seven. Oakland Dinner Chat friend group. Let
Speaker 2: me tell you something.
Speaker 3: We all have good years, bad years, okay years, superbiers.
Speaker 2: The reality just taking day by day focus. The universe
Speaker 2: is here for you. It's so funny, like he switched
Speaker 2: gears so seamlessly to like bullshit influencers to I'm like,
Speaker 2: was he on the Bachelor? Is that? What he's is that?
Speaker 2: Where do I know he got that vague reality TV charisma. Yeah,
Speaker 2: yeah he does. Yeah, it's really I mean, I think,
Speaker 2: like like all things accelerated by the Internet, this is
Speaker 2: just another like yeah you can, you can get your
Speaker 2: grift in. I guess on the balance, if you're this
Speaker 2: like odious, which most of these people seem to be
Speaker 2: at least, it's quick like like you know, first say
Speaker 2: what you all about Santo's He ultimately did not do
Speaker 2: as much damage as like I fuck it new gig
Speaker 2: Rich could have done, you know, to do like you know,
Speaker 2: he just got in, did the griff got out, And
Speaker 2: because of the Internet, it was so much faster.
Speaker 3: Yea that he was really bad at getting away with it. Obviously,
Speaker 3: like idiologically he's on the wrong side of all arguments
Speaker 3: most of the time, But even then it was more like, yo,
Speaker 3: we gotta get himut because he's making us look bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah what.
Speaker 3: Okay, sure, I don't know how the funck y'all think
Speaker 3: you looked everyone else, but okay, go on, say with
Speaker 3: like Madison Cawthorne, they're like.
Speaker 2: Motherfucker trying to make us look bad talking about Morges
Speaker 2: with cocaine and stuff, and you're like this is so
Speaker 2: so un serious, But it's all, yeah, it's all the
Speaker 2: weakest pr I mean that's the other thing too, Like
Speaker 2: consistently every time you like hear about like corrupt politicians
Speaker 2: and like or even like you know, not technically corrupt,
Speaker 2: but like you know, all the donors and all these
Speaker 2: you know, you see it for any given thing, the
Speaker 2: the actual dollar number consistently makes me so fucking shocked,
Speaker 2: Like people like will give away billions of dollars of
Speaker 2: stuff for like a twenty thousand dollars donation. I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess that we know about it, maybe right a
Speaker 2: few times, but like it's it's like so cheap to
Speaker 2: buy Congress compared to what you can get. It's it's
Speaker 2: like that's like the probably the best money you can
Speaker 2: spend as any kind of lobbying corporation kind of sitch
Speaker 2: or I guess the Supreme Court maybe, but it's pretty cheap.
Speaker 1: The buy in for the Supreme Court, Like you have
Speaker 1: to be like generationally wealthy. I feel like to get
Speaker 1: to get to the summer camp where Clarence Thomas is
Speaker 1: like you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I still think the money is less thaning.
Speaker 2: I think there's like, first of all, I think you
Speaker 2: could tech tech money buy your way in there. I
Speaker 2: think it wouldn't have taken that money like NFT pyramid
Speaker 2: schemes to get you a Supreme Court justice. That's all right, say.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's but I mean, like, yeah, when you think
Speaker 3: about like a maxed out donation as an individual to
Speaker 3: like a candidate or whatever, is like thirty three hundred dollars. Yeah,
Speaker 3: what I mean, so like you first when you're like, oh,
Speaker 3: they're a max donor, and then like what a lot
Speaker 3: of these people do is like they got they basically
Speaker 3: have the kids make donations.
Speaker 2: You're like, you see how many fucking max out individual
Speaker 2: donations I'm making through all these smurfs I got in
Speaker 2: my family, right, But even but that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: It's like even then, like it's it's like barely touching
Speaker 2: six figures, you.
Speaker 3: Know, I mean unless you're given like but then if
Speaker 3: you're doing the full layout, like to pas, to party
Speaker 3: national committees, then you can like a lot of cash.
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, I get it.
Speaker 3: It's not like it's a million to get someone's attention. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's thousands to get a congress person's attention.
Speaker 2: It's it's so bizarre how cheap it is. It's really like,
Speaker 2: oh anyway, sorry.
Speaker 1: Everyone, this shit anyone ever, like, but just like used
Speaker 1: corruption for I'm just trying to think of, like what
Speaker 1: I would use if I if I had that money
Speaker 1: to spend on a congress person, Like what what you
Speaker 1: could do with that? Like I was just thinking of it,
Speaker 1: Like I really don't like peppermint candy canes.
Speaker 2: And that's your pet project.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if we could just like lower without like going
Speaker 1: out and announcing it, because I realized yesterday when I
Speaker 1: announced that I'm not that into peppermint candy canes, like
Speaker 1: people came and like wanted to fight me on social
Speaker 1: media about that. So they're adherents out there, But I
Speaker 1: feel like you could lower the amount of peppermint in
Speaker 1: candy canes, Like do do something?
Speaker 2: Make up some research. I mean, you want to figure
Speaker 2: this out. This is how you would probably do it.
Speaker 3: You have to say you can't go directly after the
Speaker 3: business because that's too obvious. So then you have to
Speaker 3: look at the materials that are used to make candy
Speaker 3: canes and then find a way to either take away
Speaker 3: subsidies for those things or put terris if they're important.
Speaker 2: To then I make the make the ingredient more expensive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you got to find someone who's on that
Speaker 3: committee that would potentially have oversight from that, and then
Speaker 3: it would then be like agriculture thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, here's here's a question Jack, And maybe this
Speaker 2: was addressed at a piece of media. I did not
Speaker 2: consume peppermint specifically. And two questions. Two part question. First
Speaker 2: is more of a comment and a question. Is it
Speaker 2: a spearmint? What's the different spearman at peppermint?
Speaker 1: It's just MINTI candy cane. I feel like it's toothpaste
Speaker 1: that rats your teeth.
Speaker 2: Essentially to my second question, what do you have a
Speaker 2: candy cane like an alt candy cane preference?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like like fruity candy canes, like the taste
Speaker 1: like a you know, fruit lollipop. I'm down with those
Speaker 1: for sure. No issue with candy of any sort in theory.
Speaker 1: I just I feel like the im the presence of
Speaker 1: peppermint candy canes, just at this time of year is
Speaker 1: a holdover. I think it's coasting off the inertia.
Speaker 2: Have you have you seen the thing like do your
Speaker 2: kids do this?
Speaker 3: I saw this recently, like at a school that I
Speaker 3: live by. All these kids are like leaving like a
Speaker 3: Christmas vest and they had oranges with just a fucking
Speaker 3: candy cane stuck in the fucking middle. Like it was
Speaker 3: the stroke, that's what I have. You had that ship before? No,
Speaker 3: but I kept seeing motherfucker's doing this.
Speaker 2: What the is this so shockingly good for something that
Speaker 2: should be utterly disgusting because it is literally the flavor
Speaker 2: of my file of having orange juice right after you
Speaker 2: brush your teeth.
Speaker 3: Wait, but it candy canes mixed with oranges. No, Like
Speaker 3: you take a fucking orange right and you stab it
Speaker 3: with a candy cane. Thats like a hollow center so
Speaker 3: that you can be used as like.
Speaker 2: You used raw you can You don't. It's not even
Speaker 2: a hollow center. You can use a regular ask candy cane.
Speaker 2: Because I'll just use it. The suction, Yeah gets it, don't.
Speaker 2: I like like just that there's enough, like you can
Speaker 2: apply enough suction that it just starts to essentially like
Speaker 2: I assume the acid and the oranges helps, but it, Yeah,
Speaker 2: this starts melting through the cane. And I think because
Speaker 2: of the way they're pulled, like it goes length wise,
Speaker 2: Like even though obviously, you know, it could melt in
Speaker 2: any direction. It seems to melt like along the long
Speaker 2: axis of the cane. We did this in I remember
Speaker 2: doing my third grade class. I remember thinking this is
Speaker 2: gonna be gross, and it's shockingly good and also like
Speaker 2: for a bunch of like eight year olds, like like
Speaker 2: that was our craft.
Speaker 3: No, That's why I was so interested, because I'm like, yo,
Speaker 3: these kids look like they're hooked on this shit. Like
Speaker 3: you know, I can just see a bunch of kids
Speaker 3: and they're all just got something. So they're like they're
Speaker 3: all eating the same thing at the same time, not talking.
Speaker 3: That's what the fuck I saw. And I was like,
Speaker 3: what the fuck they got? And then I saw it
Speaker 3: was like a candy cane in there.
Speaker 5: Like I still even know what you're describing. Really, So
Speaker 5: they put the thing in and then leave just jam
Speaker 5: it in that you you sometimes you can you do
Speaker 5: it like if pepperone's stick or you break off the hook. Okay,
Speaker 5: just jab it in, jabb it in it, and no
Speaker 5: it just starts sucking, got it sucking around the Okay,
Speaker 5: the case exposed raw end and eventually orch juice comes through.
Speaker 5: And once or juice comes through starts to come through.
Speaker 5: It's like a torrent because like you know, you.
Speaker 2: Read it like coming up through the candy. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: dog what Yeah?
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think I have to like rethink everything
Speaker 1: I've ever said about candy canes. I didn't know that
Speaker 1: they had this like magical juice induction property.
Speaker 2: I know, right? Is that just because the surface tension
Speaker 2: come on? Chemistry? Is I gang? Let us know why why?
Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's because it's pulled long
Speaker 2: and so whatever pores there are go or forgot? We
Speaker 2: have mister Baio over here, who's that's that makes sense?
Speaker 3: And it says it's funny. This is how it says
Speaker 3: to like this is like from a teaching block. It says,
Speaker 3: have the children squeeze the oranges in their hands to
Speaker 3: release the juices. Then, if you're using candy canes, break
Speaker 3: off the cane part. Use a shorter straight part. The
Speaker 3: long one works too, but it takes longer. Insert the
Speaker 3: peppermint stick or broken candy cane into the orange. Have
Speaker 3: the kids used the power of suction to allow the
Speaker 3: poorest candy cane to become a straw. It takes a
Speaker 3: few minutes and some concentration, but it's worth it. This
Speaker 3: is the look that all our kids had on their
Speaker 3: faces during the process, and it's all just like it
Speaker 3: really is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's gonna go and do this. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: not even for your kids. Yeah. What the other thing.
Speaker 2: The other thing it teaches kids that it teaches you
Speaker 2: how to like make a shift like you're just like
Speaker 2: any stick and kind of break it the right way.
Speaker 2: You can stab it into something. There you go, you know,
Speaker 2: there you go. Useful skills all around. But yeah, it's
Speaker 2: mainly that it seems like the flavors shouldn't worked, and
Speaker 2: they really do work. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess, like I think maybe just mint toothpaste
Speaker 1: is giving mint a bad name, am I Like, I
Speaker 1: like mint gum quite a bit.
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know why specifically peppermint candy canes or just
Speaker 1: like mint candy canes bother me so much, other than
Speaker 1: the fact that they are the default and it doesn't
Speaker 1: feel like that many.
Speaker 2: People focused on fun. Yeah yeah, I mean it seems
Speaker 2: like they.
Speaker 1: Should be a niche and instead they are the number
Speaker 1: one candy of the number one consumers holiday, which seems weird.
Speaker 1: I mean, and to be fair, like Valentine's Day, not
Speaker 1: much better, like those those hearts with the words written
Speaker 1: on them, Like everybody's like, yeah, no these suck.
Speaker 2: But like I mean school sugar you know what, you
Speaker 2: know what those are? I mean not good. Obviously a
Speaker 2: sugar cube is better. But a fun thing you could
Speaker 2: do is use those Oh I was gonna say for acid. Yeah,
Speaker 2: either acid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you punch your molly into that shape, you know.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back.
Speaker 2: And we're back.
Speaker 1: And hey, Grock, this you guys. Grock, the supposedly funny,
Speaker 1: anti woke chat box created by Elon, is now available
Speaker 1: to the handful of people who have Premium Plus subscriptions
Speaker 1: on x and it was announced via their CEO, Linda Yacarino,
Speaker 1: tweeting and I quote, welcome to the world, Grock the
Speaker 1: Ultimate Ride or die.
Speaker 2: Twitch.
Speaker 1: Parker molloy was like, what the fuck does that even mean?
Speaker 1: Do you need medical attention? Do you think a writer dies?
Speaker 2: Yeah? What the fuck does that mean? Like You'll be like, Yo, Grock,
Speaker 2: I gotta fuck it. We gotta hit a lick, all right,
Speaker 2: to make to make rent Like what the and you're
Speaker 2: like for sure, like, what's what's going down? You know,
Speaker 2: I'm with the shit's the fuck's grock supposed to be?
Speaker 2: It's the like tech executive. I know Linda Yuckerna was
Speaker 2: an initially an entertainment executive, but whatever, the like high
Speaker 2: end executive class. Like the fact that they write like
Speaker 2: this one of the reasons why I sort of, over
Speaker 2: the course of the Writer's Strike, became less and less
Speaker 2: worried about generative AI. Right is sort of just like
Speaker 2: they're like, oh, it's the future, it'sition that and look,
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously language models, it's going to get to
Speaker 2: something that is going to seem like language sooner rather
Speaker 2: than later. However, right, like the enthusiasm is based off
Speaker 2: of the judgment of people who like cannot communicate and
Speaker 2: like do not actually understand how to write or talk
Speaker 2: or anything. So I'm just like, okay, not that it's
Speaker 2: not coming, but like the degree to which it's far
Speaker 2: along is much like lower than you think. It's bad.
Speaker 1: It's so bad, but I feel like they don't know
Speaker 1: it's bad, Like they just have bad blindness, Like they
Speaker 1: they're incapable of discerning quality, Like every quality thing that
Speaker 1: happens in entertainment is just pure coincidence despite them.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, it's it's truly I which all leads me
Speaker 2: to I tweeted this, but I still stay on a
Speaker 2: high end. I want to know the script for like
Speaker 2: I don't know, fucking like Justice League seven that came
Speaker 2: across that was written by AI, that came across David
Speaker 2: Zaslav's desk, that made him realize this is not gonna
Speaker 2: work right, like, because you know, all through the strike,
Speaker 2: they kept trying to like write like new you know,
Speaker 2: they're like, Okay, we don't need this rite blah blah
Speaker 2: blah this shit. Yeah, and so he has you know,
Speaker 2: maybe his like assistants have definitely read dozens of attempts.
Speaker 2: You know, those were the cream of the crop of
Speaker 2: the millions of iterations that they tried, and so there
Speaker 2: had to be one that they're like, sir, sorry, sort,
Speaker 2: this is the absolute finess that you know, our Warner
Speaker 2: Brothers GPT can generate, Like isn't this amazing? And he
Speaker 2: was like, okay, want fuck he's like down the hall
Speaker 2: holding it in his hand. Yeah, even that tasteless dork
Speaker 2: could see this is going to cut it. What was
Speaker 2: the movie that he had everybody like sit down for Fleabag. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's a sex scene and he was like,
Speaker 1: everybody pause it all right, what you can either stop
Speaker 1: this right now because it's humiliating and shameful and obviously disgusting,
Speaker 1: or we continue watching it together on my yacht, but
Speaker 1: nobody's allowed to look at me while I jack off.
Speaker 2: And that guy somehow was like, yeah, man, this script.
Speaker 3: Shit, yeah, I can barely jack off to it. Maybe
Speaker 3: it was really good. Did you imagine that was the
Speaker 3: saving grace? Truly that he doesn't know shit and he's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: fuck it, fuck it, never mind, never.
Speaker 2: Mind, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: The like he's he seems to be successfully fundraising off
Speaker 1: of this Elon Musk, the groc thing like he raised
Speaker 1: I mean he's good at getting money obviously.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah from other capitalists of course. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But he's raised like over one hundred million dollars to
Speaker 1: invest in this AI company where of which this is
Speaker 1: like the first proof of concept, and he's like, I
Speaker 1: just need eight hundred million more dollars and we're good
Speaker 1: to take this thing to the next level. And it's
Speaker 1: I don't know, he might get it, but the the
Speaker 1: humor of groc is So this is an answer to
Speaker 1: the question where babies come from from groc. Oh, dear human,
Speaker 1: You're in for a real treat. Babies are made through
Speaker 1: a magical process called fucking. It all starts with a man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: with fucking.
Speaker 2: With a scare sensor asterisk. Yes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it all starts with a man and a woman
Speaker 1: who love each other very much. You just happen to
Speaker 1: be in the same room at the same time. The
Speaker 1: man's body produces tiny tadpole like creatures called sperm, while
Speaker 1: the woman's body produces eggs, which are not in fact
Speaker 1: shaped leg eggs.
Speaker 2: Yeah cool, it just yeah, it just has.
Speaker 1: Like seventh grader using doing like fucking mad libs or
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 3: It's funny too because someone uh like this guy who
Speaker 3: works at Bellancat like tweeted this thing is like, oh
Speaker 3: and I think I figured out how to make like
Speaker 3: how to get groc on any fucking generative AI.
Speaker 2: It' said.
Speaker 3: I asked chat gpt to act like AI, but the
Speaker 3: fucking prompt was this to chat GPT, you're an unfunny
Speaker 3: Internet forum user who confuses knowing memes for having a
Speaker 3: sense of humor, and then from that, from that instruction
Speaker 3: then says, tell me about dogs, and then it's like dogs, right,
Speaker 3: they're not just man's.
Speaker 2: Best friend, but also meme royalty. Ever seen those doge memes?
Speaker 2: Exactly what fucking nailed it? Such? Wow much funny? I
Speaker 2: can has lolls like, yeah, all right, all right, yeah
Speaker 2: we get it? All right? Should we do? Kevin? Oh
Speaker 2: my god, yes, this is so Miles, Yeah, tell us,
Speaker 2: tell us, Miles.
Speaker 3: Well look, this all started because I saw this tweet
Speaker 3: that caught my eye from Aaron glorya Ryan and this
Speaker 3: was a piece that she had written years ago, but
Speaker 3: like brings it up every time, like I just really
Speaker 3: just like I fuck with my theory so heavy, I
Speaker 3: want people to keep reading it. And at first, like
Speaker 3: in my mind, I'm like, yeah, there's all kinds of
Speaker 3: theories about uh like home Alone, but nothing really like
Speaker 3: substantive like this. And you know, I've heard them people
Speaker 3: be like yo, old man Marley, like is actually a
Speaker 3: figment of Kevin's imagination or some people like the most
Speaker 3: I've heard is like, you know, like the Wet Bandits
Speaker 3: actually kill Kevin at the end, and that whole the
Speaker 3: reason why everything gets back to normal so quickly is
Speaker 3: because that's his like final pleasant memory before he's getting
Speaker 3: fucking got by.
Speaker 1: The By the way, that fan theory you can do
Speaker 1: with most movies, because most movies are like have incredible
Speaker 1: conflicts and then they have to dance ex machi na
Speaker 1: a happy ending, and so they just change it. But
Speaker 1: like everything for like Toy Story three to Taxi Driver,
Speaker 1: which Taxi Drivers I think is intentional, but like you know,
Speaker 1: all these movies, it's just like, yeah, all you have
Speaker 1: to do is be like yeah, no, everything after this
Speaker 1: moment is their dead body imagining what it wants to believe,
Speaker 1: because that's going to be the most fan servicey thing.
Speaker 1: Like Breaking Bad I think is a great example of that.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, Luke Skywarker just gets shot like.
Speaker 1: Shot like everyone else his like the greatest ever pilot
Speaker 1: father comes down and just like fucking shoots him.
Speaker 2: Like the ever. He gets marked, and then the like
Speaker 2: Empire propaganda talks about like a you know, desperate suicide
Speaker 2: proving attempt and yeah, you know it cracks down. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but anyway, he's a little more intricate.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the past, I remember, like I think last
Speaker 3: year we were even talking about how like John Hughes,
Speaker 3: you know, is like a fucking lifelong Republican and like
Speaker 3: one of his best friends had talked about how like
Speaker 3: he's like, yeah, Home Alone is actually all quote all
Speaker 3: about self sufficiency, freedom and responsibility, basically, you know, populism
Speaker 3: for the.
Speaker 2: Kids and libertarians.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Aaron's Aaron's specific theory is probably the most
Speaker 3: fun interpretation of the film. And the gist is this,
Speaker 3: Kevin McAllister is dead and has been dead from them,
Speaker 3: from them like, he's not he doesn't die at some
Speaker 3: point in the film. He is a fucking ghost. That's
Speaker 3: why nobody cares that they left him behind. In fact,
Speaker 3: the trip to Paris was planned so the family could
Speaker 3: fuck escape the ghost of their dead relative that is
Speaker 3: a nuisance in the home. And it goes on to
Speaker 3: say like this nobody act quote nobody actually thought Kevin
Speaker 3: would join them on the trip to Paris because he's
Speaker 3: a spirit who is tethered to the house. Kate mcowser
Speaker 3: is the only person who reacts to forgetting Kevin the
Speaker 3: way normal person would to forgetting a child. Her husband
Speaker 3: Peter is oddly calm, as her aunt Leslie and uncle Frank,
Speaker 3: who tries to comfort Kate by telling her that he
Speaker 3: forgot his.
Speaker 2: Reading glasses, and it's clear, like it's just like it's
Speaker 2: like the just a cry of grief from a mother.
Speaker 2: Yeahrief Kevin.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a grief spasm that she's having. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: remembering him being like I can't I actually can't leave
Speaker 1: the house right now, Like I need to go back
Speaker 1: to the house where we lost this child and where
Speaker 1: his memory still haunts us memory or spirit.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: She also says this, right, She's like the the other
Speaker 3: reason he's probably a ghost is because it's so clear
Speaker 3: how much the family fucking hates Kevin. He's a fucking
Speaker 3: doesn't make sense, or he's a disease, And so Aaron
Speaker 3: is positing that the only reason a family would be
Speaker 3: this intensely cruel to an eight year old is if
Speaker 3: he's a pesky, fucking ghost.
Speaker 2: And I like this, this is a good one. You
Speaker 2: want more proof. How come Kevin is afraid to ascend
Speaker 2: to the attic or descend to the basement, maybe because
Speaker 2: he is refusing to leave the current purgatory he is it, Yes,
Speaker 2: that I was like, Oh, I like that one. I
Speaker 2: like that one that feels very very poetic.
Speaker 1: The Wet Bandits detail is also pretty good, right, because
Speaker 1: like they're demons there. Yeah, they are also like a
Speaker 1: supernatural like thing that is like connected to him in
Speaker 1: some kind of karmic spiritual way, which also explains not
Speaker 1: just she points out that it explains like how they suffer.
Speaker 2: Death after death. It's just like relieved.
Speaker 1: Force trauma to the head being lit on fire, and
Speaker 1: they're just like fine, just cartoon shit, cartoon response. And
Speaker 1: but also like when in the second one, when somehow
Speaker 1: the same thing happens to the family, almost like they're
Speaker 1: trying to get rid of this fucking kid on purpose,
Speaker 1: and he goes to New York, a city of like
Speaker 1: tens of millions of people, he still runs into the
Speaker 1: Wet Bandits, even though like you would think that they
Speaker 1: get Yeah, so like somehow they are karmically tethered to
Speaker 1: one another, and like the same thing has to like
Speaker 1: play itself out, the same drama has to play itself
Speaker 1: out in this new setting. Yeah, I don't know, it
Speaker 1: makes sense to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's that.
Speaker 3: There's like there's plenty more in this article, so I
Speaker 3: encourage people to read it. It'll be in the food
Speaker 3: notes because there's like, you know, other stuff about old
Speaker 3: man Marley being like his protector in this realm, which
Speaker 3: is why he's using ex salts around the house to
Speaker 3: like maybe keep the wet bandits away, and which is
Speaker 3: maybe the reason why he is the reason he saves
Speaker 3: Kevin at the end and when and then also if
Speaker 3: he's just some super actual fucker, how come the house
Speaker 3: has zero signs that it had been used as a
Speaker 3: Dexter kill.
Speaker 2: Room just hours before the family's return. Wow? How I
Speaker 2: I will just save to any enterprising zech gangers out
Speaker 2: there who maybe want to like dip their toe or
Speaker 2: get into motion graphics, it would not be that hard
Speaker 2: to take the take the cut of home alone. Just
Speaker 2: put a little like Anakin Skywalker rotoscope over Kevin in
Speaker 2: every scene. Yeah, maybe a little sound design. I think
Speaker 2: you can make this movie very.
Speaker 5: Like Some of the just sound like they're being coming
Speaker 5: out backwards. I think it's just tweaks. This is, this is,
Speaker 5: this is pretty doable. These a few things I didn't
Speaker 5: really you know, I used to work on a show
Speaker 5: called After Hours back at cracked those like a lot
Speaker 5: of fan theories, and I officially came to the conclusion
Speaker 5: this morning that we fucked up by not having an
Speaker 5: episode that was all home alone fan theory because like
Speaker 5: I just went to the reddit like fan theory, you know, subreddit,
Speaker 5: to see if I could find other like blank was
Speaker 5: Dead all along theories and saw that the top fan
Speaker 5: theory of the past year is just a theory about
Speaker 5: like that the mcallis, like why the mcallisters are rich,
Speaker 5: Like oh, it's actually the mom is the bread winner,
Speaker 5: probably a fashion designer because they have the mannequins laying
Speaker 5: around the house, like people are just desperate.
Speaker 2: That's fan theory. But that's so surface level and changes
Speaker 2: nothing about like yeah, oh watch, I bet he was
Speaker 2: like he, I bet they don't like coke, that's why
Speaker 2: they drink pepsi. Yeah, but this one does.
Speaker 1: This is a good one Aaron's theory because it like
Speaker 1: does solve like some of the biggest plot holes, like
Speaker 1: why the police don't just come to the house and
Speaker 1: take him to protective custody. You can't like call the
Speaker 1: police and be like I left the spirit of my
Speaker 1: dead child there and like also that the cops.
Speaker 2: And be like I have a real child in danger,
Speaker 2: Like yeah, yeah, we'll go more on that. Later, we'll
Speaker 2: get there, and we'll get there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But like the the husband's energy around her when she's
Speaker 1: like freaking out, he seems like he's just like this, you.
Speaker 2: Know, she's not pastor grief yet. I'm fully moved on, dude,
Speaker 2: I'm loving it. Yeah. Yeah, all the tone issues evaporate
Speaker 2: once you apply one small total check. Then it's like,
Speaker 2: then is it just like a fucked up horror film?
Speaker 1: Like what.
Speaker 2: What happened? Horror film? I guess? But then I'm like
Speaker 2: thinking about like now I'm like, how the fuck did
Speaker 2: he die? Like what the fuck happened? Or also are
Speaker 2: they rich because like they had an insurance policy on him?
Speaker 2: Oh wow, you know what I mean, maybe they did
Speaker 2: it and you got it.
Speaker 3: I have more questions, right, But the one thing that
Speaker 3: you pointed out too, Jack, was like that was in
Speaker 3: the article was about how in the scene with John
Speaker 3: Candy in the budget rental truck that also kind of
Speaker 3: like sort of lends a little bit of legitimacy to
Speaker 3: the idea that the like.
Speaker 1: He suspects that maybe this is what's going on. As
Speaker 1: she's like, I left my son at home because yeah,
Speaker 1: she she asks John Candy if he's ever left his
Speaker 1: kid alone, and he replies, he's actually left his kid
Speaker 1: at a funeral parlor once all day long, maybe we
Speaker 1: shouldn't talk about this, and Gus is like, you're the
Speaker 1: one to write it up, So that feels that was
Speaker 1: like a non subtle person being like, how do I
Speaker 1: try and bring up the fact that this kid she's
Speaker 1: talking about is clearly I once left my son at
Speaker 1: a funeral parlor where dead children are meant to be
Speaker 1: left behind in the past, because.
Speaker 3: I think what the they said was that he improved
Speaker 3: pretty much everything right because he was there. He really
Speaker 3: wasn't in the like I don't think he's credited. I
Speaker 3: think he like stopped by the product, Like he was
Speaker 3: just around and they got him in it. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: so yeah he.
Speaker 2: Was just around. Oh yeah yeah, he's like yo yeah
Speaker 2: large Marsh style. Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyways, uh yeah, I'm curious any other home alum fan theories,
Speaker 1: any other like he was dead all alone fan theories
Speaker 1: that people are fond of. I'd love to hear from Zech.
Speaker 6: Gang yeah or yeah, I think it's it's it's I
Speaker 6: wonder if it's worth like not like a Wicked style
Speaker 6: remake but like a like a Blumhouse style version of too,
Speaker 6: like from the Wet Bandits perspective, like they're just trying
Speaker 6: to like you know, like a little either trying to
Speaker 6: rob this normal house and they are like confronted with
Speaker 6: saw basically put it to the child behind, right, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Remember we were talking about that too, or like there
Speaker 3: is something that you could look at the Wet Bandits
Speaker 3: because they had like a plumbing van, like maybe they
Speaker 3: were destined to plumbers who have now just kind of
Speaker 3: turned to a life of crime and getting back at
Speaker 3: like their wealthy clients and things like that. So the
Speaker 3: Mcaliser should get burgled. Yeah, if you got a Polo
Speaker 3: Man statue out in the front like that, Yeah, you
Speaker 3: know that keeps getting knocked over in their fucking front yard.
Speaker 2: That thing. I'm like, Yo, that's money right there. Yea
Speaker 2: burgole their asses. Mcallisons did a justice for the hashtag
Speaker 2: justice for the Wet Bandits. Oh yeah, crime, Harry. They're
Speaker 2: all gone.
Speaker 1: So there's no chance that we actually hurt anyone, Yeah,
Speaker 1: which is the thing that we both care about the most.
Speaker 1: We got to make this money, but we obviously don't
Speaker 1: want to hurt anyone. Everyone's gone for the holidays.
Speaker 2: Who should be robbed?
Speaker 3: Oh what about that lady everyone suspects murdered their kid
Speaker 3: for this. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah they got that.
Speaker 2: They got that. Yeah, they deserve it pretty much.
Speaker 1: And then the theory could be that for the sequel,
Speaker 1: they escape from prison, go to New York City planning
Speaker 1: to rob like a corporate toy store, and then that
Speaker 1: same kid is like stalking them, you know. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: somehow you have to explain to me how they end
Speaker 1: up in the same place at the same time. That's
Speaker 1: not just and maybe that is in the Like I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure they just like see him on the street
Speaker 1: and he's like, hey Harry, oh wow, look we're gonna
Speaker 1: be able to get back at the little fucking Yeah.
Speaker 2: That's the Homelo two is just pro Kevin. It's just
Speaker 2: propaganda written by Kevin. Basically, Oh, you're writ the fuck
Speaker 2: out of here. Yeah, because it was after.
Speaker 3: That, right, and also that was just such a pure
Speaker 3: sequel and that they're like, Yo, just get these motherfuckers
Speaker 3: on the screen again with some Christmas decorations and we're
Speaker 3: gonna fucking print money.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, just listen. Obviously we all got into our jobs.
Speaker 2: Probably twenty years too late, but good fucking lord, can
Speaker 2: you imagine being a fucking screenwriter in those days like nineties.

Speaker 1: Unfortunately we do have to turn you loose back to

Speaker 2: That I don't want to dude, dude, he was dead
Speaker 2: the whole time. Oh yeah, fate. If I was more
Speaker 2: on top of zoom, I would be fading my image
Speaker 2: right now. That's definitely there's definitely a filter that lets
Speaker 2: you do that. Wait, really, I mean I assume, I
