Speaker 3: Thank you? Yeah, thank you? They go ahead in hand.
Speaker 3: I love a I love a crisp white Linen vodka.
Speaker 3: Drink with my taco, with my taco. That's some cultural
Speaker 3: appropriation right there. I don't think what Mexico has a
Speaker 3: Do they have a National Hamburger Day? I'm trying to
Speaker 3: think of like what the equivalent would be they have
Speaker 3: national days? Or is that just something that was invented
Speaker 3: by America to by like.
Speaker 4: A calendar company to be like, we know, we sell
Speaker 4: days and we'll print them on our calendar.
Speaker 3: Got you it does? It does sound like a bunch
Speaker 3: of people, you know, who are in a knitting circle,
Speaker 3: you know, embroidering pillows, being like, let's have more days
Speaker 3: to celebrate, yes or.
Speaker 5: After like our talk yesterday with Douglas Rushkov talking about
Speaker 5: how like the need for like you know, capitalists to
Speaker 5: always go meta on a product out of one it's
Speaker 5: like almost like, Okay, calendars are done, let's go meta.
Speaker 5: Now let's sell individual days that can be noted on
Speaker 5: a calendar. Go what do you got fifty bucks Taco Day?
Speaker 3: Fine?
Speaker 4: What day you want? Yeah, well, reinvent Taco Tuesday on Wednesday?
Speaker 3: Though this time that's what Yeah, they know it's Taco Tuesday.
Speaker 3: So this is a reason to have something on Wednesday.
Speaker 4: This presupposes is what if taco Wednesday?
Speaker 3: Mmmm.
Speaker 4: That was one of the details we didn't get to
Speaker 4: that I really want to, but this idea, he like
Speaker 4: goes to all these conferences. We had this writer Douglas
Speaker 4: Rushkoff on yesterday and he's like, you know, he writes
Speaker 4: about the tech industry and he is asked to go
Speaker 4: to all these like conferences and one of the ones
Speaker 4: he went to was like this psychedelically guided like thing
Speaker 4: for entrepreneurs and like disruptors, and he's talking about how
Speaker 4: they here he it made him notice this thing where
Speaker 4: the tech industry loves to invent things that already exist,
Speaker 4: and they kept like coming up with these ideas and
Speaker 4: be like, what if we did like a culturally relevant
Speaker 4: like more punk rock environmental movement And he was like, oh,
Speaker 4: there's this one right here, Like that's happening in the UK.
Speaker 4: They're doing those amazing protests right now. And they were
Speaker 4: just like getting so frustrated with him because they just
Speaker 4: like they want to come up with the world changing idea.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, that's Can we also say that we are
Speaker 3: slowly taking all the fun out of drugs? Yeah totally.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well you got to optimize your workflow and your
Speaker 4: creativity with the drugs.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, yeah, anyone that is microdosing mushrooms and says
Speaker 3: that they're better at their work, you're doing it wrong.
Speaker 5: You better have an existential crisis while working. If you're
Speaker 5: microdosing properly, be.
Speaker 3: Like, I don't know if this is right for me
Speaker 3: at all. Exactly exactly you're supposed to be, like, screw capitalism,
Speaker 3: screw the band. Not like I love excels breadsheets.
Speaker 5: It's not supposed to be that way. What if I
Speaker 5: rebranded Burning Man for rich people? Oh no, that's not
Speaker 5: an idea.
Speaker 4: It is Oh they did it.
Speaker 3: My therapist has suggested ketamine therapy to me. Have you
Speaker 3: read about that? And again I was just like, I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna do special K for the first time with
Speaker 3: my therapist, right, Okay, it's not how we're doing this.
Speaker 3: Your therapist is just looking for somebody to do. They
Speaker 3: are I do?
Speaker 4: This is like a nightclub in Aruba, and well it's
Speaker 4: all about therapists. Like during the pandemic it all went online.
Speaker 4: They don't get to hang out with people anymore. So
Speaker 4: they're just like, would you just come over to my
Speaker 4: house and do drugs? I have like an unorthodox practice.
Speaker 4: Where can you go to Ibiza? In like three weeks.
Speaker 4: We're gonna fucking get through the trauma with some sick.
Speaker 3: In a one big k oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 5: But the other thing from that book was saying like
Speaker 5: how like he like Douglas was like likening like the
Speaker 5: just utter misuse in abuse of alcohol to like the
Speaker 5: you know, advertisers and then the mad Men era too,
Speaker 5: And that's what now psychedelics are for the tech world.
Speaker 5: It's like, if you're not a fucking fall down drunk
Speaker 5: back then or like doing a bunch of psychedelics now,
Speaker 5: you're not even in the game.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 4: That's how you prove to people that your head's in
Speaker 4: the games.
Speaker 3: So ridiculous. Yeah, nine thousand edibles, fifty million, And I
Speaker 3: love anyone that's like microdosing a lot.
Speaker 7: It's like that's just doing drugs. Yeah yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 7: not micro dosing any micro dose. Five microdoses this morning,
Speaker 7: and I'm feeling great with my coffee. All right, all right,
Speaker 7: if you're we're going to get to know you a
Speaker 7: little bit better in a moment.
Speaker 4: First, we're going to tell our listeners a few of
Speaker 4: the stories we're talking about today. We'll give in We'll
Speaker 4: talk about the Kevin McCarthy thing, fine, fine, talk about
Speaker 4: it bad enough, I guess. At this point we'll talk
Speaker 4: about Amy Cony Barrett's religious group, Flesh Cults, which might
Speaker 4: be being investigated by the FBI for some shit.
Speaker 3: We will talk about the Sphere. Guys. We saw it.
Speaker 4: We told you the Sphere was coming back when we
Speaker 4: went to Vegas for our NBA podcast back in the summer,
Speaker 4: and it has arrived. The first show inside the Sphere
Speaker 4: happened over the weekend with you two, and I think,
Speaker 4: like one audience member I think summed it up well
Speaker 4: when they said I think I'm gonna throw up, which
Speaker 4: but in the best way possible.
Speaker 5: Did you actually listen? Did you watch that clip? I
Speaker 5: was watching it to try and try and find the
Speaker 5: part where the guy says it. But the whole time,
Speaker 5: this guy's like, oh shit, the roof's coming down. Yeah,
Speaker 5: Like he was screaming so violent. I was like, this
Speaker 5: is I don't know if this guy's having a good
Speaker 5: time or not aware of like how this thing works.
Speaker 4: But yeah, he might have might have been micro dosing. Yeah,
Speaker 4: with seven X microdosing, the greatest, most effective way to microdose.
Speaker 3: Truly, that guy has always been a fun person at
Speaker 3: a concert. Everyone's always happy to be standing around that
Speaker 3: guy for you. Oh my god, what dancing with them?
Speaker 3: I'm puking my brain? Is this video? Hang on? Yeah?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 4: We also might talk about cereal is going Cereal sales
Speaker 4: are going.
Speaker 3: In the wrong direction post pandemic.
Speaker 4: Probably they they're they're even trying pouring orange juice, Like
Speaker 4: making a cereal that you can pour orange juice on. Gross,
Speaker 4: looks like shit. Maybe they should be trying Appalachian sipping cream. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I feel like you could make your own Appalachian sipping
Speaker 4: cream at home by just taking coffee mate, like the
Speaker 4: hazelnut coffee mate, and pouring vodka into it. It's just moonshine.
Speaker 4: It's basically, it's moonshine.
Speaker 3: Bailey's right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, that's all so, Yeah, you probably could. I'm
Speaker 4: not recommending that. I'm just saying that that it feels
Speaker 4: like that your own homemade recipe. Everyone can get in
Speaker 4: on the everyone make their home brew hip and creams.
Speaker 3: Is it for the people that say things like just
Speaker 3: a little nipsy, just a little nipsy before we go out.
Speaker 4: I mean go out to pick up our kids from
Speaker 4: their soccer games. Drives three kids back. Yeah, just a
Speaker 4: little bit, just a little bit, all right. But before
Speaker 4: we get to any of that ofair, we do like
Speaker 4: to ask our guests, what is something from your search history.
Speaker 3: I'm currently this is the thing I do when I travel.
Speaker 3: I look at the top things to do in a city,
Speaker 3: and then I just read all of the one star
Speaker 3: reviews of that thing, and just to find out how
Speaker 3: the town feels about everything. You find out that reading
Speaker 3: about a museum, you find out they're mad about bike roots.
Speaker 3: You know, it's I feel like you get a lot
Speaker 3: of information because you ever has gone out of their
Speaker 3: way to leave a one star review is usually like
Speaker 3: you know, there they're on the fringes of the people
Speaker 3: of good taste and.
Speaker 4: The like yeah, or like lack total self awareness and
Speaker 4: they just say like it was this restaurant's fault, I'm
Speaker 4: bad at my marriage, and you're like, right.
Speaker 3: Right, we're just the I love just seeing how dumb
Speaker 3: people are. Like there was one about a museum and
Speaker 3: it said, you know, I really like some of the
Speaker 3: artifacts here, but I've seen them a lot. I would
Speaker 3: like some new ones. Uh huh, Like, well what the museum?
Speaker 4: Okay, I come to this local small museum every Wednesday,
Speaker 4: and it's getting old.
Speaker 3: There's a Japanese, beautiful Japanese garden here in Cloda and
Speaker 3: so on wrote a review of if you want to
Speaker 3: call it a garden, there has to be flowers. I
Speaker 3: think the name should be changed. So anyways, I get
Speaker 3: this is what I'm searching right now. So the Japanese
Speaker 3: and sandbox, yeah exactly.
Speaker 5: If I just wanted to see a bunch of bond size,
Speaker 5: i'd watch Karate Kid exactly.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's what I've been. That's literally what all
Speaker 3: my tabs are right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just engaging with the best humanity.
Speaker 3: I like reading an excellent review, but I always read
Speaker 3: the bad ones.
Speaker 4: Well you have to also to understand, like, because sometimes
Speaker 4: you're like, is this place bad? But then you look
Speaker 4: at the one star reviews and you're like, oh no,
Speaker 4: you're just taking your personal stuff out on this place
Speaker 4: in your review, like oh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and sometimes they're deserving. You're like, oh no, this
Speaker 5: place sounds consistently bad. Or the one stars are just
Speaker 5: like I.
Speaker 4: Told them to bring the birthday cake out after the
Speaker 4: appetizers and they forgot, and you're like, that's not their problem.
Speaker 4: It was you were at a museum, sir, my life exactly,
Speaker 4: never going back. Yeah, it's also good for you get
Speaker 4: the response from the people who work.
Speaker 3: At the venue.
Speaker 4: My favorite the highest level friendly passive aggression, like just
Speaker 4: the highest four of capitalist communication, where it's like, oh, Ron,
Speaker 4: thank you so much for your communication and for we
Speaker 4: we love that you came here and we're so glad
Speaker 4: you did.
Speaker 3: Uh, we are so sorry it did not live up
Speaker 3: to your expectations. If we can do right by you
Speaker 3: at a future visit. However, there is one there's a
Speaker 3: weirdly in Canada. There's a kangaroo zoo here, and I
Speaker 3: was like, that's weird, Maybe I should go to that.
Speaker 3: And then I looked at the one star reviews and
Speaker 3: it's like unfriendly staff, owner is unfriendly, like we were
Speaker 3: treated so badly by the staff. And then the owner
Speaker 3: is clearly unhinged and writing back to the defending his position. Right,
Speaker 3: he's like, what you think you think? I'm your indentured servant.
Speaker 4: Responses the best, Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: To the new world. Is that why you feel like
Speaker 3: I owe you? I don't.
Speaker 4: I think it's easy hanging out with all these fucking kangaroos.
Speaker 3: They're monsters. You met Joey, you try Karen for him,
Speaker 3: You try it.
Speaker 5: But then there's the other one too, where the management
Speaker 5: claps back in the best way. They're like, thank you
Speaker 5: so much, Bruce for this comment. If you recall when
Speaker 5: you were in the restaurant.
Speaker 3: We remember you asked whole.
Speaker 5: We do not have the capacity to store seventeen ice
Speaker 5: cream cakes in our freezer, and that's why we recommend it.
Speaker 5: This may not be the best venue for this birthday surprise,
Speaker 5: but still go off, sir.
Speaker 3: The cakes were melted.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And as you'll recall, you were racing back and
Speaker 4: forth between two families who didn't know about you, and
Speaker 4: one of them you were dressed like an old woman's
Speaker 4: doubt fire. You've tried to miss doubt fire our restaurant,
Speaker 4: So it's not our.
Speaker 3: Badge, Sincerely, Cheesecake Factory. That's right ofre What is something
Speaker 3: that you think is over more than overrated? I feel
Speaker 3: I've never seen more positive affirmations or motivational messages in
Speaker 3: public spaces in my entire life. I mean, from a
Speaker 3: point of view of capitalist branding. You walk into i
Speaker 3: don't know, a Starbucks or whatever, there's the positive messages everywhere,
Speaker 3: and I believe positivity has fallen in much like the
Speaker 3: American flag. Positivity has fallen into the wrong hands. Yes,
Speaker 3: because it is uh, it's it's like mind control. So
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of like gratitude. We all
Speaker 3: have to be more gratitude, by the way, gratitude journaling,
Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't know if you guys do it.
Speaker 3: Have you ever gratitude journaled? No, I'm not.
Speaker 4: I'm not grateful for fucking anything, So I don't say
Speaker 4: thank you. Point I would, but my life fucking sucks,
Speaker 4: thank you.
Speaker 3: I have nothing to be grateful for. Yeah, right, it's
Speaker 3: like all of this stuff, like, come on, just be
Speaker 3: thankful for the little morsel that you've been given to
Speaker 3: by your overlords. Anyways, I hate the I think it's all.
Speaker 3: I think none of it is real. That's right, Yet
Speaker 3: I think none of it is real.
Speaker 4: I personally like, I feel like I can it's better
Speaker 4: for me when I am focused on the people around
Speaker 4: me as opposed to myself and like my own shit.
Speaker 4: Like it's better for me to just be like, all right,
Speaker 4: let's let's like hear what they're interested in, what they're
Speaker 4: what's going on with them, and like that thinking about
Speaker 4: things like in a grateful gratitude, and that's.
Speaker 3: Not a word.
Speaker 4: I like it.
Speaker 3: I like it can sometimes help me do that.
Speaker 4: But there is definitely like we have a shampoo in
Speaker 4: air shower that says there the greatest study. It says,
Speaker 4: release that which no longer serves you, right on the
Speaker 4: fucking shampoo on the shampoop.
Speaker 3: That's like all it says. It doesn't really like I
Speaker 3: don't even know if it's shampoo. It's just the real
Speaker 3: you know. And it's just like such a bottle.
Speaker 4: It's such a bummer like that, Like all these ideas,
Speaker 4: like any good idea just gets fucking taken and stamped
Speaker 4: onto a bottle to sell you something that is just
Speaker 4: chemicals in a bottle.
Speaker 3: It's just chemicals at a bottle that, if you like
Speaker 3: with the grossest gut, Wow, I love.
Speaker 4: These head chemicals tell me to release that which no
Speaker 4: longer serves me.
Speaker 3: And I gotta tell you, as a woman, this stuff
Speaker 3: is like shoveled at you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like it feels like kind of like the
Speaker 5: Fall of Rome. It's like bread and circuses and affirmations. Yeah,
Speaker 5: just to kind of stave off the inevita exactly. Fuck
Speaker 5: the bread and the circuses aren't working. We need another
Speaker 5: thing to kind of get them to focus on, not
Speaker 5: the fucking fall right now.
Speaker 3: I I am with you, Yeah, I am totally with you.
Speaker 3: I'm like shiny, shiny everybody, happy, happy, big smiles, big
Speaker 3: smiles everybody.
Speaker 5: And I think that's where we're all realizing it's book,
Speaker 5: because everyone's reaction to it is and like, you know what,
Speaker 5: I've read this really fun thing at Starbucks.
Speaker 3: It's like, shut the.
Speaker 4: Fuck up Starbucks. To those things, so I don't know
Speaker 4: if they're working. I don't know if they're working.
Speaker 3: I like, shut the fuck up Starbucks. It's like, that's
Speaker 3: the story. Yeah, just a T shirt, just fucking a
Speaker 3: middle finger at the Afroma.
Speaker 4: That's the album cover, middle finger Starbucks, shut the fuck
Speaker 4: up Starbucks.
Speaker 3: Just with the hair around it of the old Starbucks logo.
Speaker 4: You know, I will say, it sounds like both of
Speaker 4: you have not yet today this morning released that witch
Speaker 4: no longer.
Speaker 3: Certain we have not clearly haven't had my coffee.
Speaker 4: That's right, what's something you think is underrated?
Speaker 3: Okay, now it sounds like I'm going in the same direction,
Speaker 3: but on a different lane. You know, I'm on the road.
Speaker 3: It is pretty hard when you are eating out of
Speaker 3: restaurants to eat something that's good for you. So I
Speaker 3: am not a vegan, but I've taken to finding vegan
Speaker 3: restaurants wherever I go, even though I really usually avoid
Speaker 3: them because I'm not a vegan. And I've learned that
Speaker 3: is the way you get fresh fruit and vegetables as
Speaker 3: your primary things on your plate. So I'm saying what's
Speaker 3: underrated is are vegan restaurants for people who are not vegans?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I like it, who like a bit of life
Speaker 4: in their food rather than something in like a pre
Speaker 4: made bag that they eat.
Speaker 3: Up and back. We're just slathered. I mean, listen, everything
Speaker 3: slatterer than butter tastes amazing, but it's just it's not
Speaker 3: great for you after all.
Speaker 4: Right here? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it does seem to be
Speaker 4: the secret ingredient and all. Like when you talk like
Speaker 4: chefs that are like, oh yeah, we put a stick
Speaker 4: of butter in each totally taking They're like, we're not
Speaker 4: your cardiologist, and also we don't give a fuck what
Speaker 4: happens to you. You're a customer, and that's.
Speaker 3: That's all our job is to make food that tastes good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's our job in a kitchen that is completely
Speaker 4: invisible to you, so you don't know what is happening.
Speaker 4: But that's a big part of it. That's like what
Speaker 4: you're paying us to do is just be like, hey,
Speaker 4: you make the magice, you handle the preparation, and I'll
Speaker 4: be like, oh my god, this tastes great. I've never
Speaker 4: had carrots that tasted so translucent with fat.
Speaker 5: There's a there's a subreddit called our Kitchen Confidential, and
Speaker 5: it's all people that work in kitchens and stuff and
Speaker 5: like in restaurants, and it's like it's an interesting insight
Speaker 5: because like you hear people really talk that shit like
Speaker 5: in the way and like one guy was like being
Speaker 5: like if people fucking knew, like we're not making health
Speaker 5: food back here, it's like we're doing it. So you
Speaker 5: are like, this is fucking delicious, And guess what the
Speaker 5: secret is? So much butter or salt or sugar that
Speaker 5: your head would fall off if you really knew, so
Speaker 5: don't you?
Speaker 3: So yeah, And I'm sure you know the kitchen is
Speaker 3: doing their own thing, but sunflower seed whatever. But it's
Speaker 3: just a little different. It's just a little once you
Speaker 3: say no animal fat, no.
Speaker 4: Animal fat be found, right, And their whole infrastructure is
Speaker 4: built understanding that like all this shit's going to go
Speaker 4: bad in you know, thirty six hours, like you know,
Speaker 4: like that. That so you have to have like a
Speaker 4: different way of dealing with your ingredients, you know, as
Speaker 4: opposed to like another restaurant that can just you know,
Speaker 4: take the week old salmon and.
Speaker 3: Add a vat of butter and it's a yeah, salmon chowder.
Speaker 3: That's right exactly. That's a great idea.
Speaker 4: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back,
Speaker 4: we'll talk about some stories.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back. And we're back. We are.
Speaker 4: And this story has been knocking at our door for
Speaker 4: days now, and we've been trying to resist. We've been
Speaker 4: saying we don't hear you, we don't care about you
Speaker 4: House Republicans. But there it seems like something might actually
Speaker 4: be happening.
Speaker 3: It's I don't know.
Speaker 5: I mean, like so all last week, right we didn't
Speaker 5: really talk about like the potential government shut down because
Speaker 5: the Maga Republicans.
Speaker 3: Are like, we don't want any money for Ukraine or this.
Speaker 4: Or that or whatever. And we'll shut it down.
Speaker 5: We don't care if kids like miss out on their
Speaker 5: like social you know, safety net programs and things that
Speaker 5: we don't care. We don't care if the people that
Speaker 5: serve us in the cafeteria of the Capitol are laid off,
Speaker 5: like we look in the eyes. So turns out it all,
Speaker 5: it all ended up working out because Kevin McCarthy at
Speaker 5: the last minute pulled off a squeaker and funded the
Speaker 5: government with the help of the freaking Democrats. So because
Speaker 5: of that, Matt Gates is now like he's taken upon
Speaker 5: himself to represent all the maga free in the in
Speaker 5: the House and be like that's it. He's he's crossed
Speaker 5: us one too many times, and we hate that he's
Speaker 5: working with.
Speaker 4: The demon crats.
Speaker 5: He's like, he's actually a puppet of the Democrats, is
Speaker 5: what he's been saying. Yeah, okay, but now he's basically
Speaker 5: saying that it's time to call it on his speakership.
Speaker 5: And if you recall, Kevin McCarthy is not a good negotiator,
Speaker 5: not only because not only because he is an untrustworthy
Speaker 5: scumbag that's lower than snake nipples, but also because he
Speaker 5: is a terrible negotiators just terrible, like even understanding the
Speaker 5: dynamics or leverage of a negotiation. So on his way
Speaker 5: to get the votes to become speaker, if you recall,
Speaker 5: you'll like they did to call like fifteen votes before
Speaker 5: we find it's like, what do you want, dude, Like, oh,
Speaker 5: name my kid, Maga McCarthy. If you want, like, just preeze,
Speaker 5: let me get this. He basically said, here, I will
Speaker 5: hand you the Maga freaks, a big red button in
Speaker 5: the form of being able to oust me if one
Speaker 5: member wants to pursue a motion to vacate this speakership
Speaker 5: aka get me out of here, then if you got
Speaker 5: the votes, then fine. And we've come to that moment
Speaker 5: where now Matt Gates is like.
Speaker 3: We're doing it. I'm doing it, to do it, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna do it.
Speaker 5: And he needs like less than ten votes right now
Speaker 5: from his Republican colleagues to be able to oust Kevin McCarthy. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and so it looks like he's going to be ousted.
Speaker 5: Well he Here's this is where it gets fun. He
Speaker 5: would need the Democrat I already stopped listening. Yeah you would,
Speaker 5: he could be honest.
Speaker 3: I stopped listening. When you turned into James Carbon and said,
Speaker 3: lowder is snake nipples loaded snake nipples. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 3: know why, I just had to.
Speaker 5: I've been trying to put that in part, and I
Speaker 5: was like to, that's the thing when you're dealing with
Speaker 5: somebody like that, they're loaded the snake nipples and you
Speaker 5: can't trust him. But the thing is the Democrats would
Speaker 5: have to save him. And most Democrats have just laughed
Speaker 5: at this notion where they're like, hey, would you vote?
Speaker 5: They're like what, and like you Alexandria Kazio Cortez was like,
Speaker 5: the only way I would even think about it is
Speaker 5: if he came with some kind of deal to be done.
Speaker 5: But then still preface that was like, but this guy's
Speaker 5: lowered the snake nipples, so there's no way we can
Speaker 5: believe him what he says, because the second he works
Speaker 5: with us, he goes around and says the opposite thing
Speaker 5: on Fox.
Speaker 4: So he would need the votes. We will see what happens.
Speaker 5: But like when you look at quotes like this from
Speaker 5: Democrat Jerry Connolly of Virginia, this is like you would
Speaker 5: imagine the deal would have to be gargantuan aka impossible
Speaker 5: we said quote upon examination, I do not understand what
Speaker 5: any Democrat would find of redeeming value to allow him
Speaker 5: to persist in the speakership. We should not enable aid
Speaker 5: or a bet his continuation in office.
Speaker 3: You know when someone pulls out the word of bet. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's big.
Speaker 4: It does sound like this was like a twelve year
Speaker 4: old trying to write a sentence that sounded official.
Speaker 3: It's all twelve year old. They had like a little
Speaker 3: Twitter or x yeah yeah, or where it was like
Speaker 3: bring it on, just did it, like they're having little
Speaker 3: back and forths like on a school yard. This went on,
Speaker 3: ye just did it? Yeah, really like it's already been
Speaker 3: just did it. It's already been brought. It didn't go
Speaker 3: for that jam of a retweet that would have been
Speaker 3: yeah yeah yeah. So we'll see where this ends up.
Speaker 4: But I mean, like the vote happened and he didn't
Speaker 4: get the he does not have the votes McCarthy correct,
Speaker 4: which seems to be the only place he's comfortable.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean not having the votes. It's
Speaker 3: beautiful back to my sweet spot.
Speaker 5: Yes, oh yeah, see ays of right now, they tried it,
Speaker 5: but yeah, just by the he just barely got out.
Speaker 4: Oh so he's still in. But he also the it
Speaker 4: was not an encouraging vote.
Speaker 3: No, no, got it. Yeah, sorry, just got notification. Well, ye,
Speaker 3: you're recording the story anyways. Guy like that.
Speaker 4: He's he's only comfortable when he's down in the muck
Speaker 4: getting mugging it up with them other boys, because heah.
Speaker 3: Just trying to figure out how to best represent the
Speaker 3: American people. That's all he's trying to do. Everybody, That's
Speaker 3: all I'm trying to do.
Speaker 4: Didn't know that was a crime, didn't crime? Hey speaking
Speaker 4: of didn't know that was a crime. That's what Amy
Speaker 4: Coney Barrett is going to be saying, because the FBI
Speaker 4: is apparently interviewing several individuals alleging that they were abused
Speaker 4: by members of the People of Praise, the Christian cult
Speaker 4: that Amy Coney Barrett belongs to, that got a lot
Speaker 4: of attention in the run up to her confirmation and
Speaker 4: not mentioned once.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it got attention from the activists and other people
Speaker 5: who were just so shook to their core that a
Speaker 5: creature like this would ascend to the Supreme Court. But yeah,
Speaker 5: and the hearing people are like, and you're a family woman, right,
Speaker 5: It's like oh boy, we need not our grandparents to
Speaker 5: be in those confirmation hearings.
Speaker 4: So apparently the group encourages members to speak in tongues,
Speaker 4: make prophecies about the future, and expel gay people. So
Speaker 4: apparently that group not totally on the level, which I
Speaker 4: think we all find shocking.
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like the gay people are getting
Speaker 3: the best deal of all. Yeah you're not allowed cool.
Speaker 3: Oh hear that?
Speaker 4: Oh no, you're like, oh no way, okay, this.
Speaker 3: Is terrible news.
Speaker 4: But private schools closely affiliated with the group have admissions
Speaker 4: policies that in effect ban the children of gay parents
Speaker 4: from attending.
Speaker 3: Very frightening and what right wow.
Speaker 5: But the thing is, though, like it's not we're not
Speaker 5: sure if it's active, right, because the one thing we
Speaker 5: know is like it was I think the Guardian confirmed
Speaker 5: that like five people were interviewed, So but we're still
Speaker 5: not sure if they're like, is this going somewhere or
Speaker 5: is it one of those things that like, yeah, we'll
Speaker 5: look into it and then do nothing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they tend to they have the ability to just
Speaker 4: ignore the ship out of some pretty well shitt kavanaf right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they're like, yeah, we interviewed people but we
Speaker 3: didn't really follow up. Like, so they've been contacted by
Speaker 3: this group.
Speaker 4: People of what's it called po People of Praise, People.
Speaker 3: Of Praise, People of Praise?
Speaker 4: Yeah, people of Praise. There's also the group People of
Speaker 4: Praise Survivors.
Speaker 3: That sounds like a first draft. Don't you think that's
Speaker 3: the first draft of a name for a cult? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Man, I bet it was the result of the longest,
Speaker 4: most boring meeting of all time when I came up
Speaker 4: with that.
Speaker 3: Holy shit.
Speaker 4: But yeah, so this group People Praise Survivors are a
Speaker 4: group that's like designed to call it ten of the
Speaker 4: claims of sexual abuse survivors and members have been in
Speaker 4: touch with the FBI. Have been apparently confused that the
Speaker 4: FBI hadn't reached out sooner following press reports about alleged abuse, which, yeah,
Speaker 4: it's just all further illustrates how strange it is that
Speaker 4: her membership in People of Praise never came up in
Speaker 4: a Senate hearing to confirm her as an appeals court judge.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, it's like on one side, Republicans, there's no
Speaker 5: way they would bring it up because it's like get
Speaker 5: her in there right tip the scales of the court
Speaker 5: and then I'm sure Democrats it's like an optics thing
Speaker 5: where it's like they don't want to like because this
Speaker 5: is how they're probably thinking about it. If I question
Speaker 5: People of Praise, I'm going to open myself up to
Speaker 5: being painted as an anti Christian like atheist person, and
Speaker 5: I just don't have the spine for that. I'm also
Speaker 5: lower than snake nipples, it turns out, so I just
Speaker 5: don't touch it.
Speaker 3: I just want Yeah, I tried to get into People
Speaker 3: of Praise and they rejected me.
Speaker 5: So right exactly, and I don't want to mess up
Speaker 5: my chance in the future by you know, testing expersions
Speaker 5: on them publicly.
Speaker 3: That's right, they're just jealous, all right. Uh.
Speaker 4: I want to offer an official overrated from from me. Oh,
Speaker 4: I know we usually save those for Monday, but yeah,
Speaker 4: Roman Concrete, there's a new AP story about how they're
Speaker 4: trying to figure out the secret to Roman concrete and
Speaker 4: they just made a breakthrough earlier this year in a
Speaker 4: study where they found out that it is self healing,
Speaker 4: that it's able to heal it's own cracked that story.
Speaker 4: We've like covered that story multiple times like over the
Speaker 4: past five years, Like it keeps coming up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the last time was the beginning of this year, okay,
Speaker 5: where they're like they've cracked the code, and when I
Speaker 5: was like, this is like nine months old the story. Yeah,
Speaker 5: at the very least, because for people don't know, we're
Speaker 5: not Roman concrete isn't like a new street drug. We're
Speaker 5: talking about the concrete that the Romans used, yea, that
Speaker 5: they were using. Because everyone's like, look, thousands of years
Speaker 5: it's still standing. They must have a secret to their
Speaker 5: superior concrete.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So, like just yesterday there was a new ap story
Speaker 4: being like another breakthrough and it's the same shit that
Speaker 4: we've seen before that like nothing has changed about the story.
Speaker 4: They acknowledging the story. Also some things that we didn't
Speaker 4: have before, like that it couldn't hold over three stories
Speaker 4: like it if you tried to build a building out
Speaker 4: of Roman concrete today, it would crumble.
Speaker 3: Now it sounds like all the buildings in New York, right,
Speaker 3: and if they're all Roman concrete.
Speaker 4: Yeah. But so part of the reason it survived as
Speaker 4: long as it did is because Rome was basically abandoned
Speaker 4: for like it went from the center of the world
Speaker 4: to like thirty thousand people and like livestock just roaming
Speaker 4: the streets. It just immediately like there's the fall of
Speaker 4: Rome and then nobody wanted to live there anymore. So
Speaker 4: nobody was building new buildings, like nobody was trying to
Speaker 4: knock down the old buildings to build the new buildings.
Speaker 4: So like in the article or in an article I read,
Speaker 4: they compare it to London, which like all the old
Speaker 4: buildings in London for the most part a got knocked down,
Speaker 4: like because they were building new buildings. But like Rome,
Speaker 4: nobody was fucking with it. So that's why we have
Speaker 4: the ruins. Yeah, I think you'd have to go to
Speaker 4: like Bath to see like Roman relics anywhere like in it,
Speaker 4: or at least that's the closest thing I've.
Speaker 3: Heard of the crackout Poland that wasn't it has a
Speaker 3: super old you know, buildings and architecture purely because it
Speaker 3: wasn't bombed to shit.
Speaker 7: Right yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, And so it's like, oh,
Speaker 7: it's like, well, actually it's just it wasn't destroyed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not that it made it, it wasn't destroyed.
Speaker 4: Just nobody was really fucking with Rome like that.
Speaker 3: But the one thing I love about the Roman cement
Speaker 3: Roman concrete. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: Cement is the street drug. That is the is wild.
Speaker 3: It's amazing.
Speaker 4: It will optimize your workflow. Actually, it makes you so
Speaker 4: effective at spreadsheets.
Speaker 3: HR meetings with that. Let me tell you, they just
Speaker 3: fly by. Is that?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 3: It was like, right, they have these limestone chunks in it.
Speaker 3: Is that it? And that's why it's self healing. There's
Speaker 3: like chunks in it. And that's one of the theories.
Speaker 3: That's one the theories. But I just love it when
Speaker 3: people look at the way things were constructed in the
Speaker 3: past and they just go, oh, you know, like in
Speaker 3: this case, they're like it's all lumpy because they were
Speaker 3: dumb and they just didn't stir well. Right, It's like, no, no,
Speaker 3: that's that's They weren't just bad stirs in the past.
Speaker 3: It just evolved be better at stirring. Yeah, yeah, that's
Speaker 3: my take.
Speaker 4: I think that's that was our secret. But so the
Speaker 4: points out that like a lot of their cement mixtures
Speaker 4: are different, Like you check one sample and a different
Speaker 4: one and like they're like, it's weird. They put like
Speaker 4: a bunch of beer in this one, and then this
Speaker 4: one has like a lot of piss in it and
Speaker 4: we're not sure why. It's basically like the experts in
Speaker 4: this article are like, yeah, they didn't. They were just
Speaker 4: like trying different shit like seeing what worked. And obviously
Speaker 4: the buildings that worked are the ones that lasted, and
Speaker 4: everything else crumbles. And we're giving them credit for like
Speaker 4: being masters of concrete. But they were just like trying
Speaker 4: a bunch of different shit out seeing what stuck. The
Speaker 4: stuff that stuck was able to last because nobody was
Speaker 4: trying to like knock it down to build a highway
Speaker 4: to help with you know, luxury housing. There was no
Speaker 4: luxury housing going up.
Speaker 3: I would put the beer one neck near the piss one.
Speaker 3: I'm sure those two different mixtures were happening pretty such
Speaker 3: were it was.
Speaker 4: Across the street, across the street. But yeah, I guess what.
Speaker 4: One of the things that doesn't get brought up a
Speaker 4: lot is like you can find examples of this where
Speaker 4: architecture has lasted for a long time, but it's in India,
Speaker 4: and you know, India doesn't. The colonial brain doesn't like
Speaker 4: to think about India having figured stuff out. They like
Speaker 4: to think about Rome, right, men are supposed to think
Speaker 4: about Rome every day?
Speaker 3: Is that? Is that what we're being told by because
Speaker 3: the Romans didn't have any any slaves working on those things.
Speaker 3: Those all people that were pretty they were selling good jobs,
Speaker 3: volunteered happily. Yeah, because they just believed in the project.
Speaker 3: You know, it's a shame we don't have that kind
Speaker 3: of work ethic now, believe I know.
Speaker 4: So, Like just a quote from the article describing the
Speaker 4: two processes Cecilia Pesche Materials scientists at the University of
Speaker 4: Sheffield in England said they'd toss just about anything into
Speaker 4: their mixes, talking about Roman architects as long as it
Speaker 4: was cheap and available, and the ones that didn't work
Speaker 4: out have long since collapsed. But some materials seemed to
Speaker 4: show more intention, like in India, where builders crafted blends
Speaker 4: of local materials to produce different properties. According to like
Speaker 4: a civil engineer at the the Lore Institute of Technology,
Speaker 4: in humid areas of in India, builders use local herbs
Speaker 4: that help structures deal with moisture. Along the coast, they
Speaker 4: added jaggery and unrefined sugar, which can help protect from
Speaker 4: salt damage, and in areas with higher earthquake risks, they
Speaker 4: used super light floating bricks made with rice husks. They
Speaker 4: know the region, they know the soil condition, they know
Speaker 4: the climate, so they engineer a material according to this. Yeah,
Speaker 4: how much piss is in it?
Speaker 3: Though? Exactly how much vodka? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Just dumping it in?
Speaker 3: And what should you put in that one? I'm drunk,
Speaker 3: man of no idea?
Speaker 4: How did we lose the recipe for roaman concrete because.
Speaker 3: You gave it to Daryl. You gave it to Daryl Daryl. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I know. It is kind of funny that this nothing
Speaker 3: was passed along stories, tons of folks tales, we have mythology,
Speaker 3: but not one. No one decided to write down how
Speaker 3: you were making your cement.
Speaker 4: Not a person, yeah, just pee, just some pe man,
Speaker 4: you know what it is? Yeah, no limestone or volcanics.
Speaker 3: And I don't.
Speaker 4: Just piss.
Speaker 3: I think it's my magic piss. Is that.
Speaker 4: Anything?
Speaker 3: The one man who pissed into all of us structures?
Speaker 4: Could you imagine? Like if that really really Someone's like, yeah,
Speaker 4: I think it's the piss dude, right, But then they're
Speaker 4: too embarrassed to pass it down at the end of
Speaker 4: the generation. Wasn't writing that one down?
Speaker 3: Huh? Yeah, wait till they find out it wasn't it
Speaker 3: wasn't uh, it wasn't you know, the leader, and it
Speaker 3: wasn't the strongest man. It was the librarian. Yeah right,
Speaker 3: we would get Mabel out here. I don't know something
Speaker 3: about it. It has she has a lot of cats.
Speaker 3: Might be I don't know. Is that the t she
Speaker 3: likes tea?
Speaker 4: Yeah, But anyways, apparently we're supposed to be thinking of
Speaker 4: Roman the Roman Empire every day, and I just this
Speaker 4: is my excuse for why I don't think about the
Speaker 4: Roman Empire every day. I just think it's never occurred
Speaker 4: to me to think about the Roman Empire.
Speaker 5: Like when I first saw that thing, like the TikTok
Speaker 5: trend of like dude, dudes be thinking about Rome.
Speaker 4: I'm like, maybe is it is that. I don't know
Speaker 4: how the White are thinking about Rome.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I guess just a good model of
Speaker 3: something else that has fallen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do think, like, you know, there
Speaker 4: it's an ancient culture that is also you know, a
Speaker 4: like full of self devouring cannibals of consumption like we are.
Speaker 3: And exactly.
Speaker 4: Towards the end of Rome, they had an insatiable urge
Speaker 4: for micro militarism to go outside their borders. And just
Speaker 4: deplete their resources. I don't know, it doesn't sound like
Speaker 4: they anything anyway, Guys, release all that to you, which
Speaker 4: is no longer useful. Thank you, and also watch season
Speaker 4: three of Love Is Blind and enjoy National Taco Days.
Speaker 3: Do you like your hair shiny? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Chemicals. All right, let's take a quick break and we
Speaker 4: will come back and talk about our Roman concrete, the
Speaker 4: Las Vegas sphere, the monument to I think this is
Speaker 4: the monument, like the ultimate, the furtheringest of capitalism that
Speaker 4: we've gotten. This is, this is the peak, and it's
Speaker 4: not necessarily a good thing.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back and we're back Miles.
Speaker 4: You can you can, as you can attest we were
Speaker 4: in Las Vegas together. I wouldn't shut the fuck up
Speaker 4: about this, fere.
Speaker 5: No, you wouldn't the amount of pictures you were taking
Speaker 5: to to be like, oh, my kids got to see this.
Speaker 4: It's an eyeball. Oh it's a basketball. Now it's.
Speaker 3: Do you get a picture? Ship? I didn't get a picture.
Speaker 4: It's a basketball.
Speaker 3: Yeah it was.
Speaker 5: I mean because at first we're like, oh, yeah, that
Speaker 5: thing exists, and then when you really looked at you're like, this.
Speaker 3: Is fucking freaky shit. Man, it's really weird. Yeah.
Speaker 4: It really feels like a thing has been photoshopped onto
Speaker 4: into a skyline a landscape.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I didn't. I only saw the beginning construction,
Speaker 3: I guess of it when I was in Vegas, so
Speaker 3: it just looked like a hole. Yeah right yeah. So
Speaker 3: now it is like a.
Speaker 4: Glowing orsh on the on the skyline, on the horizon,
Speaker 4: and it's open for business.
Speaker 3: Baby.
Speaker 4: I mean it's been open as a as basically a
Speaker 4: spherical billboard for a while, but now you can go
Speaker 4: inside it and watch you two and you know, feel
Speaker 4: like you are engaging in the worst mushroom trip of
Speaker 4: all time or the best. I don't know, Like I
Speaker 4: feel like maybe you should be on mushrooms to see
Speaker 4: this to get the full effect. But the visuals, whoever
Speaker 4: conceived of the visuals was on mushrooms, Well you know who.
Speaker 5: You know who it is, It's Marco Brambia. The second
Speaker 5: I thought, I was like, this looks like Marco Brambia's work,
Speaker 5: because if you stay at the Standard in New York
Speaker 5: and you've been on the he was like he stitches
Speaker 5: together all kinds of like moving like you know, cuts
Speaker 5: out frames from films. Also the fucking director of Demolition Man. Okay, right, yeah,
Speaker 5: well he only made one film because he was like,
Speaker 5: I'm an artist, like, watch me do some trippy shit
Speaker 5: with Demolition Man. And then he had to interact with
Speaker 5: the studios and he's like, I'm fucking dumb, like he
Speaker 5: is to get to chime in on my work that
Speaker 5: ain't art.
Speaker 4: I'm out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And so he only made Demolition Man and now
Speaker 5: he just does like if you can again, I always
Speaker 5: say this when his work comes up. If you ever
Speaker 5: have the chance to see any of his like installations,
Speaker 5: they are mind blowing. Yeah, but this I feel like
Speaker 5: I don't think people could handle the statue of Liberty
Speaker 5: sized spear version of his work, because yeah, people were like,
Speaker 5: I don't know, it is cool. Yeah, It's like I
Speaker 5: don't it looks amazing.
Speaker 4: It's another one of these like dissonance things. The same
Speaker 4: thing with like ex Twitter, like where like I still
Speaker 4: like Twitter because the people on there are funny and
Speaker 4: the stuff like I don't have. I can still hold
Speaker 4: the the fact that like I'm rooting against Elon Musk
Speaker 4: and the people who are behind like the ruining of Twitter,
Speaker 4: and also like still think that Josh Gondleman is a
Speaker 4: delight like that, you know, and like similarly, like it
Speaker 4: just sucks that we have to like have these clashing ideas.
Speaker 4: But like James Dolan is truly the worst. He's the
Speaker 4: MSG guy. He's his dad invented HBO and he has
Speaker 4: just inherited all his money and power and uses it
Speaker 4: to like surveyal people and be in the sickest band of.
Speaker 3: All time JD in the Straight Shot yep. But yeah,
Speaker 3: it's just it's truly he's clearly very happy. He's a
Speaker 3: happy guy. Yeah, he's just surveying people. He's not paranoid
Speaker 3: or insecure or has a problem with haters or anything.
Speaker 3: He's like, I mean, that's so just to go back
Speaker 3: to the sphere, just to give because I I haven't
Speaker 3: seen it firsthand, and I get the I have like
Speaker 3: a concept of the scale of it, but are and
Speaker 3: I looked at the videos of people at the U
Speaker 3: two concert, but is it projections.
Speaker 4: Or are there like it's all led all high death
Speaker 4: led screens like super high deaf.
Speaker 3: It's like one giant television.
Speaker 4: Screen basically got it, Yeah, with extremely high definition. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and yeah, I mean the it cost two point three
Speaker 4: billion dollars to make. Hey, hey, come on, go with
Speaker 4: the price they said it would cost first a billion dollars. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's gonna cost a billion.
Speaker 3: Oh I love that contractor, I love that contractor. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean clearly, you know, clearly he wasn't dealing with
Speaker 3: the most sane client. But you just know that thing
Speaker 3: where it's like, what do you mean this is gonna
Speaker 3: cost more money? Well, you know, it turns out put
Speaker 3: in the curvature near the top there was a harder
Speaker 3: we anticipate it.
Speaker 4: I mean, I can, oh, I can get it to
Speaker 4: you with your budget, but it's not gonna look great.
Speaker 5: All right, all right, fine, fine, fine, fine, And I
Speaker 5: love though to that point, like that, the hiding of
Speaker 5: the ballooning costs got him also in trouble because he
Speaker 5: was trying to like obscure or that fact from shareholders.
Speaker 4: Yeah it's fine, it's it's coming in at budget. Yeah,
Speaker 4: So that's he was spying on and firing anybody who
Speaker 4: worked on the project who would who wanted to like
Speaker 4: tell people how much it was costing. But just generally,
Speaker 4: like the footage from inside does make me like I'm
Speaker 4: like it feels like, Okay, this is a moment of
Speaker 4: excess that like has to be experienced.
Speaker 3: I mean, so let's let's put it in a different decade.
Speaker 3: Blaggio Fountain, right, I think. So the last time I
Speaker 3: was in Vegas, of course I was walking by the
Speaker 3: Blagio Fountain. Still a huge attraction. It is obviously, you know,
Speaker 3: grand on all these levels. But there was all these
Speaker 3: people that I was speaking to that are like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: they're going to drain it. And it's because there's a
Speaker 3: drought in Las Vegas, and so the evaporation of the
Speaker 3: water is so high that it doesn't like they can't
Speaker 3: recycle it and keep the height of that crazy water feature.
Speaker 3: They have to keep feeding it. Well, they have to
Speaker 3: keep feeding it water, which is incredibly expensive. Wow, all
Speaker 3: the other problems but incredibly expensive. Well there's this, so
Speaker 3: there's this motion to drain the Blagio Fountain, which then
Speaker 3: makes you go, but that's this iconic, like kind of
Speaker 3: over the top spectacle of Las Vegas. What could possibly
Speaker 3: replace it? Yeah?
Speaker 4: R exactly, Yeah, about the most electricity ever pumped into
Speaker 4: a single geographic location.
Speaker 3: It's not water.
Speaker 4: But I like how they're like, well, it's going to
Speaker 4: use also, you know, for all my enviros out there,
Speaker 4: it's gonna.
Speaker 5: Use all solar power open, is it? Yeah, well, don't
Speaker 5: read the fine print. What does the fine print say
Speaker 5: that won't that's not.
Speaker 4: Even on the table until like twenty seventeen or twenty
Speaker 4: twenty seven.
Speaker 3: It's like the fine Princess will kill all wildlife and
Speaker 3: nature around it within forty thousand meters a sudden after that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, one, yeah, I think it's really bad for wildlife. Like,
Speaker 4: so one of the complaints is this is really bad
Speaker 4: for wildlife, right, Like that's too much light, it's too bright.
Speaker 4: It's gonna fuck everything up. On the other hand, if
Speaker 4: you're going to do that, like the Las Vegas strip
Speaker 4: like does feel like I don't know, you can if
Speaker 4: you're driving to Las Vegas at night you can see
Speaker 4: it like glowing on the horizon where it even comes
Speaker 4: over the horizon. It's like, well, weirdly it's daylight over
Speaker 4: to the east right there.
Speaker 3: But I don't know.
Speaker 4: He he seems like a real fucker, James Dolan. It's
Speaker 4: a bummer, the ultimate fucker. Truly seems like the ultimate fucker.
Speaker 4: And that's why I think it's peak capitalism because he's
Speaker 4: not self made. He's like avowedly like inherited his dad's
Speaker 4: money and his dad's power and then just like used
Speaker 4: it to build to be like a complete asshole, Like
Speaker 4: he's the he kicked a woman, like a woman who
Speaker 4: was trying to bring her daughter to a rockets concert
Speaker 4: at Madison Square Garden, like was held at the entrance
Speaker 4: and like her daughter had to go in with like
Speaker 4: other family friends.
Speaker 3: Because what what did she do?
Speaker 5: Because she was she worked for a law law that
Speaker 5: was representing like a party that was filing a lawsuit
Speaker 5: against him in a completely unrelated case. But it just
Speaker 5: it the facial recognition thing. Just spot her and be
Speaker 5: like that's an op getter.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean I know this happens over and over again,
Speaker 3: and so I'm not saying anything new, but it's like
Speaker 3: these iconic comic book villains Lex Luthor, you know that
Speaker 3: we have had and then you just see them. Yeah,
Speaker 3: have you just made them right? Yeah, like facial recognition
Speaker 3: like all of like crazy technology madmen with technology. Also,
Speaker 3: I think it is fitting that you two will say
Speaker 3: what you want about the muse. I have no problem
Speaker 3: with you two. His music but like to be the
Speaker 3: kind of band that is the big, big opening act.
Speaker 3: I guess you know. It's like I can see the
Speaker 3: thinking there. It's like who just shoved an album into
Speaker 3: everyone's email, Let's get it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, they love it. They love it. They love
Speaker 4: a big spectacle like behind there sure concerts. Yeah, it's
Speaker 4: a good point that like at a certain point in
Speaker 4: the twentieth century, we had like these movies with superheroes
Speaker 4: and supervillains, and like both of those things were unrealistic,
Speaker 4: and now we only got one. Now we have the supervillains.
Speaker 4: The supervillains all came true. It's just the superheroes. We
Speaker 4: never got those.
Speaker 3: And this and this guy is a sci fi like, right,
Speaker 3: that's part of his evil vision is based on his
Speaker 3: love of sci fi. Right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's based on a Ray Bradberry book that
Speaker 4: he read when his dad was busy inventing HBO and
Speaker 4: not paying attention to him. In it, like it invents
Speaker 4: a Holow deck, Like Ray Bradberry like invents this technology,
Speaker 4: Like that's a high definition Holi deck where like it
Speaker 4: basically comes to life and I think lions eat the parents.
Speaker 3: And he like specifically is like that's the thing I liked.
Speaker 4: He's like, well, I was impressed by the parents getting
Speaker 4: eaten by lions.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so delightful, just delightful.
Speaker 5: You think he like the first time like the thing
Speaker 5: came online, he's like, hey, play the video and everybody
Speaker 5: give me five minutes alone in the sphere. And it's
Speaker 5: just like a rendering of his dad getting like mauled
Speaker 5: by lions. And he's like, okay, all right, we're good here.
Speaker 5: All right, let's test the YouTube visuals.
Speaker 3: All right, let's say, you know, there is a call
Speaker 3: for sci fi writers to start writing happier, I don't know,
Speaker 3: more positive visions of the future, because there is a
Speaker 3: theory that all this dystopian villain destructive tales where that
Speaker 3: we're literally fulfilling the prophecy because that's the only visional
Speaker 3: of us humans have.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's I'm like, oh, we're gonna blame Octavia
Speaker 5: Butler now for being the goat.
Speaker 3: I don't think so.
Speaker 5: I don't think so half of this ship was just
Speaker 5: gaming it out into the future. Like let's see, based
Speaker 5: on our where you seemed to be headed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this is where this ends up with.
Speaker 5: Hey, no, you shouldn't have articulated that, or else I
Speaker 5: wouldn't have the idea.
Speaker 4: To fucking crush people with my company.
Speaker 8: Therefore, yeah, the writers, the artists, Yeah, yeah, yeah, why
Speaker 8: do you have to like, look, why do you have
Speaker 8: to have comment on the situation in a creative way
Speaker 8: like that?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 4: I hate this stuff. I do think it would be
Speaker 4: good if sci fi writers would start like writing more specific,
Speaker 4: solution based visions of the future that weren't just like
Speaker 4: and then everything from bulls right, remember when the robots
Speaker 4: helped people?
Speaker 3: Right? Yeah, yeah, exactly. Oh god, the biggest scariest movie
Speaker 3: I've ever seen in my life. Yeah, that was a
Speaker 3: rough one, still is.
Speaker 4: But yeah, Dolan's you know, he is a major Trump donor.
Speaker 4: He's also he also uses the Donald Trump method of
Speaker 4: like making these massive projects but not paying anyone. Like
Speaker 4: he's in litigation with a bunch of contractors who are like,
Speaker 4: he doesn't pay us. And he was brave enough to
Speaker 4: not open his mouth at all after George Floyd was killed.
Speaker 4: I think he was the only end.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no comment on that. Yeah, And it's because I'm
Speaker 3: it's because I'm against it. I don't even need to
Speaker 3: say it.
Speaker 4: You guys know, you got. Don't read my past comments
Speaker 4: or my political donations. You guys know where Matt.
Speaker 3: Well, no wonder the contractors are adding another billion highwood too.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, this guy that probably just offsets the losses
Speaker 5: of not being paid, you know what I mean. It's like,
Speaker 5: I don't know, I charged two billion to get one, so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure I love but just that's such a
Speaker 3: great thing to say. Can you imagine someone be like, well,
Speaker 3: how much more will it be in just going a billion?
Speaker 4: Ye?
Speaker 3: Just carry the one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks like it's going to be a billion
Speaker 4: one billion ability to a billion.
Speaker 3: Like conservatively, Yeah, yeah, giving you a deal.
Speaker 4: Hold on, your name's William, because this ship's a billion
Speaker 4: what sorry, it's going to be a billion dollars. He's
Speaker 4: also yeah, he's like, I we need to like find
Speaker 4: one security officer who's worked for Dolan, who's been who
Speaker 4: like is willing to defy their NDA because like he
Speaker 4: he his security officer like spied on his own exacts.
Speaker 4: It is reading their emails, covertly recording them in order
Speaker 4: to manufacture reasons to fire them, to keep the costs of.
Speaker 3: The sphere under wraps.
Speaker 4: So like he basically would just keep hiring and firing
Speaker 4: people so that nobody saw that. It started at one
Speaker 4: billion dollars and was ballooning to two point three billion
Speaker 4: dollars if you just like keep firing people over and over,
Speaker 4: Like the one sphere in Las Vegas, middle of the desert,
Speaker 4: in a place that already is the light pollution capital
Speaker 4: of the universe, is probably like, if you're going to
Speaker 4: do it, that's the place to do it. He's also
Speaker 4: trying to do it in like the UK and London.
Speaker 4: He's trying to like, could you imagine having this in
Speaker 4: the city that you live in?
Speaker 3: I can't even stand the uh sort of in New York,
Speaker 3: like the not quite full dispensary pot stores that just
Speaker 3: cover their entire facade with the LCD lights right because
Speaker 3: there's so bright, right right right, crazy bright on the street.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: This like the site that they've chosen in like East
Speaker 4: London or West I forget where they're Like, it's surrounded
Speaker 4: by they say, three blocks of residential housing, Like it's
Speaker 4: just gonna be in the middle of a neighborhood and
Speaker 4: the best they've done is offer residents blackout curtains, Like, hey,
Speaker 4: I thought this was a problem. Never mind, No, no,
Speaker 4: it's just that they had solved it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: But luckily all the people are like, fuck right off
Speaker 5: with that offer, Like there's no way I want, Like
Speaker 5: I wouldn't. I don't even wish that on my enemy,
Speaker 5: to have the fucking a spear in the middle of
Speaker 5: their neighborhood.
Speaker 4: But we shall see. I mean, they're a way more
Speaker 4: opposition to that one because.
Speaker 3: Its greats to the sphere. Oh well, yeah, and have
Speaker 3: you go do some Roman concrete therapy and that's right,
Speaker 3: you know, heal yourself like some cement.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're just gonna blast affirmations at you for fucking
Speaker 5: five hours in there, and hopefully you guys don't fucking
Speaker 5: think about turning against capitalism, your freaks.
Speaker 3: It's right, thankful you're allowed to exist.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that you've made it to this era of human existence,
Speaker 4: you're fucking welcome.
Speaker 3: I think Dubai also probably makes sense. And then we'll
Speaker 3: leave it there. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and also that this should only exist for like
Speaker 4: a couple more years until everyone like has the collective
Speaker 4: mind shift of like, my god, that is a grotesque
Speaker 4: amount of electricity that yeah, has to be coming from somewhere.
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe the sphere will be the site of the
Speaker 4: coming proletarian tribunals against the business owners of the world,
Speaker 4: and we that's it's like our new Hague.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that you're writing positive sci fi right
Speaker 3: now than you're.

Speaker 4: proceedings will be projected on the outside for all those
Speaker 4: to see.
Speaker 3: Even from it. We learned a way too. Actually, instead

Speaker 5: and uh, you know, just it's like post music music,
Speaker 5: like a lot of it. I listened to just sounds
Speaker 5: like the themes, like the soundtrack of like a haunted
Speaker 5: food court in them all. But this artist is called
Speaker 5: Lush Crayon but in Japan, but also like a lot
Speaker 5: of like vapor weighted artists use Japanese like like characters
Speaker 5: in their name, So he goes by Kure, which means
Speaker 5: in Japanese nuguda me is like a stuffed animal. But
Speaker 5: the English name is Lush Crayon, And I'm like, do
Speaker 5: you think you were plush Crayon?
Speaker 3: Is that what you're going for?
Speaker 5: Because the two do not match as a bilingual person here,
Speaker 5: but anyway, it's still interesting. Like background music, this track
Speaker 5: is called Lisa l s A by Lush Crayon.
Speaker 3: Check it out now.
Speaker 4: When you say a haunted food court, is the food
Speaker 4: court abandoned or is it a crowded food court that
Speaker 4: just has ghost It's up to you.
Speaker 5: So when I say a haunted or like, I picture
Speaker 5: like you've broken into a mall, but there are still
Speaker 5: like apparitions, you know, using the food court and you're like, god,
Speaker 5: shit broke.
Speaker 2: The fuck's going on in here?
Speaker 4: So I always wonder that about like haunted places. Are
Speaker 4: they do we just notice that they're haunted because they're
Speaker 4: so quiet because everybody left already and everything else is haunted,
Speaker 4: but we just can't hear the ghosts because everyone's talking
Speaker 4: and being loud. Or is the haunted food court, like
Speaker 4: like ghosts are right, are like animals, wild animals. They
Speaker 4: prefer the quiet. They're like, I don't falk away from
Speaker 4: these people anyways to teach their own teaching. We'll just
Speaker 4: have to wait for science to answer that question for us.
