Speaker 1: brain storm session.
Speaker 2: It was a hard day's night. Let's just put it
Speaker 2: that way.

Speaker 3: the more popular names.
Speaker 2: Sadly, so I don't feel great right now.
Speaker 1: So are both of our names? I think are very
Speaker 1: popular now, but like when you were a kid, was
Speaker 1: Miles very popular name? No, my shit wasn't even the
Speaker 1: top one hundred then, yeah, I don't think mine was either,
Speaker 1: Like mine was the number one name in the twenties,
Speaker 1: I think, but then like all a bunch of it
Speaker 1: was the number one name at like old age homes.
Speaker 1: But when I was a kid, nobody had it. And
Speaker 1: now so you are, You're just influential, man, You're.
Speaker 3: That You're the Jack that Joe Biden is talking about
Speaker 3: in that meme.
Speaker 2: How do you open pdf? Jack? But yet right now?

Speaker 3: sixtieth or something most popular in his sixty first most
Speaker 3: popular name Miles.
Speaker 2: It's on the come up, y'all because I'm lucky influencing people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think derivations of my name are popular, like
Speaker 1: Jackson and Jacks with an X, which I'm still I'm
Speaker 1: still considering. I feel like I give Jack's energy, right, Like,
Speaker 1: don't you think what? Because I'm kind of like extreame dude. Yeah,

Speaker 1: that black character, So.
Speaker 3: I think you'd like that black guy Mortal Kombat with
Speaker 3: the metal arms Jack All right, Well, another weird naming trend,
Speaker 3: all late night hosts have to be named Jimmy or James.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon was Internet shammed into paying his staff during
Speaker 1: the writer's strike. Basically, he was not at the meeting
Speaker 1: where they were told that their writing staff would not
Speaker 1: be paid after a week.
Speaker 3: It all came to a head because he was asked
Speaker 3: on the fucking met gala vant red harpit about like
Speaker 3: where he's at when he's like, oh yeah, man, he's
Speaker 3: like I'm with them.
Speaker 2: He's like, I'll say they need a good deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And then, like a staffer pointed out, they're like, bro,
Speaker 3: you don't give a fuck, Like and I think other
Speaker 3: people argue that, like, you know, the host might not
Speaker 3: always be like that daily first daily production meeting or whatever.
Speaker 3: But when a lot of people were like, yeah, people
Speaker 3: aren't going to get health insurance even and no one's
Speaker 3: clear on what their employment status is. And eventually and
Speaker 3: then people started sharing clips of Conan from the two
Speaker 3: thousand and seven strike when he's like, oh, yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: paying my staff for like the work they missed. And
Speaker 3: he was saying that, then people were like, what about you, Jimmy,
Speaker 3: And then he was like.
Speaker 2: Oh so NBC will do two weeks and then I'll
Speaker 2: pay for a week.
Speaker 1: That's okay, But what if.
Speaker 3: It goes longer than that, you're gonna you're just gonna
Speaker 3: hope the story dies and then be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm not paying anymore.
Speaker 1: Did you see the clip of Conan during the writer's strike,
Speaker 1: Like but he still had to be on air, so
Speaker 1: he would just like sit there like kill time like
Speaker 1: there was one where he was just like spinning his
Speaker 1: wedding ring on his desk and he was it was like,
Speaker 1: let's see how long I can spend this wedding ring for.
Speaker 2: Which now I'm doing it shout out to the one.
Speaker 1: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has revealed their
Speaker 1: class of twenty twenty three. Uh, Willie Nelson, Bill Nelson,

Speaker 3: the distinction of being selected by a select Hall of
Speaker 3: Fame committee to join the seven performers who are voted
Speaker 3: via general ballot. Those ones who are exalted by the
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame Committee are gonna be Shaka Khan, Al Cooper,

Speaker 3: herk oh okay, and then Don Cornelis is gonna get
Speaker 3: the amed Ertigon Award from you know, the former head
Speaker 3: of Atlantic Records, omt Ertigan.
Speaker 1: All Right, well and other important news people in Utah
Speaker 1: are going to have a harder time jacking off coming days.
Speaker 1: Porn Hub has blocked all users in Utah from visiting
Speaker 1: the site to protest a new state law that requires
Speaker 1: age verification to protect minors from exposure to explicit adult content.
Speaker 1: So when you're in Utah and go to porn Hub,
Speaker 1: they redirect you to a video with an adult film store.
Speaker 1: Are basically being like, this is not it, This is
Speaker 1: not the way to.
Speaker 3: This is a privacy risk for you and your family.
Speaker 3: Don't buy the bullshit that they're protecting your kids. This
Speaker 3: is a fucking really you know, like the acl you
Speaker 3: was saying if when you cut off access to online
Speaker 3: information for adults and cause popular platforms and there their
Speaker 3: offerings to avoid triggering the.
Speaker 2: Rules, things get a little fucking bad.
Speaker 1: So the way they're doing it is like making you
Speaker 1: like photograph your ID. Is that the idea? Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: fucking crazy. I mean that's like that's why, like, does
Speaker 1: any other are there other services?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: Do do the gambling sites make you? Like?
Speaker 3: The only time I uploaded my ID to get some
Speaker 3: shit from the internet is when I'm buying.
Speaker 1: That free iPad.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, when I won that iPod congratulation you wanted,
Speaker 3: congratulations my ship. Like, that's the only time I done
Speaker 3: ID verification, which makes sense because you're buying cannabis, like
Speaker 3: and it's being delivered that they obviously don't want to
Speaker 3: be like and.
Speaker 2: Is your dad home? Yeah, okay, there's nine hundred blunts.
Speaker 1: But yeah, they're they're pointing out like there are other
Speaker 1: ways to do this with like device related things as
Speaker 1: opposed to you know, website like giving webs the website
Speaker 1: access to your fucking private information. So basically, what this
Speaker 1: is going to cause and is already causing, is just
Speaker 1: a massive rocket chip explosion growth of VPNs. VPNs are
Speaker 1: loving it right, been skyrocketing since they lall went into effect.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and and this is like the same thing too
Speaker 3: when people talk about, like on social media that like
Speaker 3: people should upload their ID and like know who's saying what.
Speaker 3: And then like again, it's like always a slippery slope,
Speaker 3: right because you start doing that, Like there's a lot
Speaker 3: of there's a lot of issues there with with that
Speaker 3: kind of like ID verification.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just I mean it's like, I know, South
Speaker 1: Korea had something like that where everybody like when you
Speaker 1: were online, you were connected to who you actually were,
Speaker 1: like to your personality. There just was like a lot
Speaker 1: less anonymity. But in America that is going to be
Speaker 1: directly converted into corporations preying on you, like in various ways,
Speaker 1: selling your information, just doing whatever to make your life
Speaker 1: miserable and make marketing to you easier. Like that's yeah,
Speaker 1: so it does. It doesn't matter even if it's been
Speaker 1: used successfully other places like not here that we've proven
Speaker 1: time and time again that private people versus corporations does
Speaker 1: not end well for us.
Speaker 3: Could you imagine how targeted those fucking ads to be if.
Speaker 2: Your fucking ID was tied to your like internet activity.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they'd be like, hey, dude, we know about your
Speaker 3: dad and your mom they split up, So you're probably
Speaker 3: into this kind of like.
Speaker 1: What the fuck? Why is it so direct?
Speaker 2: Now? Yeah, we got your infolt from your posts and stuff, and.
Speaker 1: We're gonna actually talk back to you as the inner voice,
Speaker 1: the inner voice that you hear in your head throughout
Speaker 1: the day. We hope that's okay. But you're just figured
Speaker 1: out what it was. Fucking it all up. You're fucking
Speaker 1: it all up, asshole. It's all going to how your
Speaker 1: inner monologue is always saying this, speaking of terrifying invasions
Speaker 1: of privacy. So we talked about this story a while
Speaker 1: back that a woman was at Madison Square Garden for
Speaker 1: the like Rockets show Yeah, and was asked to leave,
Speaker 1: and it was revealed that it was because she had
Speaker 1: served as opposing counsel to James Dolan and MSG in
Speaker 1: some like case a while back.
Speaker 3: It had nothing to do with the rockets or anything
Speaker 3: like very like like a tertiary character in this like
Speaker 3: legal drama.
Speaker 1: Yes, but he had because he is a petty bitch
Speaker 1: who loves drama, had put her on a list and
Speaker 1: had uploaded her face, her facial recognition data so that
Speaker 1: you know when she showed up. It triggered and she
Speaker 1: was banned from being there.
Speaker 3: She was going like with her daughter and like it
Speaker 3: was like her kids and stuff, and they're like, sorry, you're.
Speaker 1: Gonna have to wait outside. Miss. So New York City
Speaker 1: is considering facial recognition bands for businesses and landlords.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, good, consider it hard, but don't consider it
Speaker 3: too much and then just realize that thing, do Yeah?
Speaker 2: Is it bad? Is that? Is that another slippery slope
Speaker 2: if we're just tracking everyone's feah. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: We'll see.
Speaker 1: I think we're good. But if we can't trust James Dolan,
Speaker 1: who can we trust?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and obviously the mayor of New York. I mean
Speaker 3: with the robot dogs and the fucking guns that will
Speaker 3: shoot a GPS tracker at your asshole and you can
Speaker 3: get a bunch of free air tags to narc on yourself.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Hey, wait a second, we we already like
Speaker 1: passed the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame story, but
Speaker 1: it just circling back real quick. Did was jd and
Speaker 1: or the straight shot? Okay? Not help? Notice he wasn't mentioned,
Speaker 1: not yet, not yet. It ain't happening this year maybe
Speaker 1: next year. Yeah, I know all right, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back,
Speaker 1: and so is Gabe Walker. Uh you know that is
Speaker 1: that fucking slice Stallone's character from Cliffhanger friend.
Speaker 3: Whoa Okay, I mean I'm not a big all I
Speaker 3: remember was doesn't like in that first scene, like the
Speaker 3: person's stuffed animal fall before they fall to their untimely death.
Speaker 1: That sounds right.
Speaker 3: I feel like for whatever reason in that like very
Speaker 3: tense sequence in the opening is I think that's the
Speaker 3: opening of Cliffhanger. Yeah, where like he loses that person
Speaker 3: on the line and I think you watch like a
Speaker 3: carabeaneer like just start to fucking split apart, like it's
Speaker 3: made of like a crayon. I was like, oh fuck,
Speaker 3: I remember as a kid being like Nasi, I don't
Speaker 3: like heights.
Speaker 1: It's just like a stress dream come to life. It's
Speaker 1: like how that happens? Uh, it's a hell of a
Speaker 1: like you know, it's like Rennie Harlan, peak Rennie Harlan.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun. As a child, my favorite
Speaker 1: genre of movies was Sylvester Salone movies, Supplanet eventually by
Speaker 1: Bruce Willis movies when I became one or die hard,
Speaker 1: but yeah, this is what one of the goodies. At
Speaker 1: the end. Also, it has a fight between him and
Speaker 1: John Lythgal.
Speaker 2: That.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've always found that funny when they just have
Speaker 1: to like make the main bad guy like somehow good
Speaker 1: at fighting, even though it's like and it's.
Speaker 2: Like John lith Gal who's physically built for that.
Speaker 3: I mean, I know he's imposing as a figure in
Speaker 3: his face, but he's not thrown down like that.
Speaker 1: Anyways, they're making a sequel. The director of The Angel
Speaker 1: has fallen, and Greenland stated that it's going to be
Speaker 1: a great challenge and blast taking this franchise to new
Speaker 1: height or responsibility. I don't take lately that statement sounds sarcastic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it sounds like, are you up on Barry? Have you
Speaker 1: been watching Barry this season?
Speaker 2: No? No, I haven't watched I haven't watched Barry. No,
Speaker 2: not yet.
Speaker 1: There's a good scene with like a really like respected
Speaker 1: great director who's like now working on like some Marvel shit,
Speaker 1: and she's just like, yeah, no, I think this is great.
Speaker 1: This is this is awesome. I'm so glad to be
Speaker 1: doing this.
Speaker 2: And I take it seriously, I take it seriously.
Speaker 1: Yeah, with the lore of thousand Yards stare right right?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Is Cliffhanger that kind of like exalted content where people like, yo, man,
Speaker 3: you don't be careful with that.
Speaker 2: Be careful with that now.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. Yeah, it was like kind
Speaker 1: of the under Siege of under Siege. I don't know
Speaker 1: why I said it, like it's a classy film. The
Speaker 1: under Siege of Late Aristallona was like amidst a bunch
Speaker 1: of movies that were kind of plunkers. It was like
Speaker 1: indistinguishable from all of them in terms of like premise,
Speaker 1: but it randomly was just very good. Right, and the
Speaker 1: first shoot apparently also basically put the company Carol Co
Speaker 1: out of business. It was like such a mess, So
Speaker 1: hopefully this one goes better.
Speaker 2: Well, do we know who else is in it? Like,
Speaker 2: is who's the John Lithgow character?
Speaker 1: We don't know at this point as far as like mail,
Speaker 1: but yeah, there there was also a point during the
Speaker 1: first shoot where they couldn't pay the crew, who was
Speaker 1: like on this film shoot up a mountain. It's kind
Speaker 1: of not fair. A tough time to be like, hey, sorry, guys.
Speaker 3: Hard to advocate your for yourself when you're on the
Speaker 3: top of a free he's in cold mountain with nothing to.
Speaker 2: Like, Hey man, we can't pay you guys.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys want to hang around
Speaker 3: here for a little bit, if you guys have a
Speaker 3: ride back.
Speaker 2: Down to the bottom or whatever. But we can kick
Speaker 2: it up here there was.
Speaker 1: It's weird because this movie's been in like development for
Speaker 1: a long time Cliffhanger two point zero and there's a
Speaker 1: point where it was going to be a Stalloneless remake
Speaker 1: starring a female lead directed by Anna Lily Amapoor, who
Speaker 1: made A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night like one
Speaker 1: of the great films of the past thirty years. They're like,
Speaker 1: all right, so what but like, all right, we get it,
Speaker 1: you're a great filmmaker, but like ip wise what all?
Speaker 1: So anyways, that's how they do people.
Speaker 2: That's so funny.
Speaker 3: How like you go from making one like you make
Speaker 3: a great film or like an indie Darling type thing,
Speaker 3: and then they throw you on a blockbuster to completely
Speaker 3: make you the fall person if it goes belly up
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of how they do, another thing they do
Speaker 1: these days is they turn fictional films or TV shows
Speaker 1: into reality show competitions. You know, we talked about how
Speaker 1: squid Game was, like immediately like before they had greenlit
Speaker 1: season two of Squid Game, they were like, but the
Speaker 1: the game inside the show where they like all kill
Speaker 1: each other and like show how desperate they are for healthcare,
Speaker 1: that's what we should greenlight. And so they lit like
Speaker 1: a real reality competition version of squid Game. Well now
Speaker 1: they're doing that with James Bond. Is basically the Amazing
Speaker 1: Race with more excessive drinking and unprotected sex would presumably
Speaker 1: be the pitch behind this, right double ow Seven's Road
Speaker 1: to a Million. Oh, it's a reality competition show in
Speaker 1: which teams of two will travel throughout the world to
Speaker 1: locations made famous in James Bond movies and compete in
Speaker 1: various challenges.
Speaker 3: Okay, and then are one of the challenges to like
Speaker 3: be responsible for the death of an innocent woman and
Speaker 3: then just keep it moving exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean I'd compartmentalized, man, Right, that's like that. My
Speaker 1: thought is, like all the cool shit from James Bond
Speaker 1: is like destructive and dangerous and hopefully is not being
Speaker 1: done to these contestants.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I feel like every other woman who gets
Speaker 3: in bed with James bond Is of Dying. Yeah, like
Speaker 3: that's the wrong kind of body count that you want, sir.
Speaker 1: Yes, But it will launch exclusively on Prime video, so
Speaker 1: the show will essentially not exist in the same way
Speaker 1: that like the most expensive TV show of all times
Speaker 1: from like a beloved franchise, The Lord of the Rings,
Speaker 1: like came out and people were like, yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: I don't like you. Super fans were like, I don't
Speaker 1: know something about it. I just I'm not sure it
Speaker 1: actually came out. I can't remember if I.
Speaker 2: Watched it, the false memory of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well this does raise Also Brian Cox will play
Speaker 1: the controller in the show, mad character who controls the
Speaker 1: fate of the contestants, who is both villainous and cultured.
Speaker 1: So that is, Oh, it's good to see he's having
Speaker 1: a post succession after Lift. But it does make me like,
Speaker 1: is there And We've had this story on the dock
Speaker 1: for a while And I had the hypothetical question like,
Speaker 1: what is a fictional show or movie franchise you would
Speaker 1: like to see turned into a reality competition? And I
Speaker 1: my brain has not come up with one. Do you
Speaker 1: do you have one?
Speaker 3: A film that could be a reality show competition. Yeah,
Speaker 3: like a fast and furious Yeah yeah, like driving reckless
Speaker 3: as fuck.
Speaker 2: I don't care if the contestants die.
Speaker 1: Right ahead, try that shame shit with this is like
Speaker 1: the all that stuff he does. It's like, well, no
Speaker 1: way a real person would survive that.
Speaker 3: Right, It's like can you drive a slammed Honda Civic
Speaker 3: underneath an eighteen wheeler?
Speaker 1: Right exactly?
Speaker 3: Like and yo, if you get run over, hey, it
Speaker 3: is what it is, man, But you lived fast and furious.
Speaker 3: I mean like it could be that, or like Brian
Speaker 3: is in the port an Identity, you.
Speaker 1: Put it, put a really dumb person in like like
Speaker 1: medically induced memory fog, and then you drop them off
Speaker 1: somewhere and then like they got to figure out what
Speaker 1: the fuck's going on, Like Jason Bourne, we'll see where
Speaker 1: they land, Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 2: Where they land.
Speaker 3: There was like a survival show on Netflix that kind
Speaker 3: of had a really fucked up arc where they felt
Speaker 3: like they had all these survivalists go and like the
Speaker 3: whole challenge was like flex your survivalist skills, but it
Speaker 3: turned into Lord of the Fly shit real quick, and
Speaker 3: like people were sabotaging each other to win, and like
Speaker 3: some contestants are like, I honestly, I'm out of this,
Speaker 3: Like I can't participate this in good faith knowing like
Speaker 3: my kids would see this and see this is how
Speaker 3: I'm behaving to win a show that you could see
Speaker 3: something devolving like that if.
Speaker 2: You put enough money on the line. My aren't we sadistic?
Speaker 1: My My eldest had his birthday at Ultra Zone, well,
Speaker 1: a place that he used to work.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he shout out the game masters.
Speaker 1: You know, I mean I'm out here and I uh,
Speaker 1: I don't like who I became when we got in
Speaker 1: that laser tag, like just taking out every little kid
Speaker 1: that walked around a corner.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all good ruth.
Speaker 3: There's if they have the same setup, there's a place
Speaker 3: you could just you could just snipe people the whole time.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, one of the dads asked me if I
Speaker 1: played a lot of first person shooters.
Speaker 2: That was like, what you know, you know how you
Speaker 2: look like a real asshole.
Speaker 3: There's a way you hold the gun that shows you
Speaker 3: don't fuck around like everyone goes like this. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: if you turn your shit like that, oh yeah, you
Speaker 3: have this whole range of motion to also. Also, what
Speaker 3: it does is it helps like block the sensors on
Speaker 3: your chest pack so they can't hit you.
Speaker 2: Wow. Anyway, that's that's how I get down. And I
Speaker 2: used to keep this thing.
Speaker 3: When you're the game master, you'd have this controller on
Speaker 3: you called the terminator, and you could just pull up.
Speaker 2: You could just power someone's ship down, like really like
Speaker 2: oh yeah, like you're like, have admin. It's like a
Speaker 2: remote control of admin privileges. Basically.
Speaker 3: Sometimes I would like get in games with like twelve
Speaker 3: year olds who were talking shit.
Speaker 2: They're like, oh your beach. I'm like yeah, yeah for sure,
Speaker 2: and I would cheat. Watch you should don't work.
Speaker 3: Deactivate, deactivate, deactivate anyway, I'm a very healthy adult now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it turned out great, Thanks dad. Well, uh, that
Speaker 1: is going to do it for us this afternoon. We
Speaker 1: are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show.
Speaker 1: Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourself,
Speaker 1: get the vaccines, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and
Speaker 1: we will talk to y'all tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Fight Bite
