Speaker 1: Boss, no term is basque. So what are you talking about?
Speaker 2: A box simply took Blake. Are you doing good? How
Speaker 2: are the Eagles? They're doing all right?
Speaker 1: Uh, they're doing all right. Their their records good and
Speaker 1: they're not doing No one's doing alright in the city
Speaker 1: of Philadelphia. But yeah, they're they're doing their two and
Speaker 1: one and they're figuring it out. We'll be right back, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, all right. I just want to check
Speaker 2: it because I know that's your thing too. You host
Speaker 2: that that show, You host that show for them.
Speaker 4: Haven't even had media Day yet, and I'm already in
Speaker 4: crisis mode.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was so hard recording boosties. He didn't want
Speaker 2: to talk about the Sixers.
Speaker 4: He's like whatever, Yeah, so Eagles two and one, seventy
Speaker 4: six ers haven't even had media day yet.
Speaker 2: I'm already, oh.
Speaker 1: In seventy six. Yeah, that's where.
Speaker 2: That's where I'm at.
Speaker 4: I think it's a it's a tear down Blake. We
Speaker 4: they went all in for big talent this offseason, and
Speaker 4: I think we just tear it down right now, just
Speaker 4: start selling, selling the team for parts.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. Have you seen are you following
Speaker 1: the stadium thing about where they're going to put the
Speaker 1: new stadium. They're looking to get a new stadium for
Speaker 1: no reason, and they want to destroy Chinatown in Philadelphia
Speaker 1: in order to build it again. For no I mean
Speaker 1: the reason is probably think they can make money off
Speaker 1: of it. But yeah, it's a huge bummer. So that's happening.
Speaker 1: But I don't live in Philadelphia anymore. I moved, So
Speaker 1: you don't care. Yeah, that it's not going to be
Speaker 1: your tax dollars anymore. I think when it never was
Speaker 1: because you have to pay them in order for that
Speaker 1: to be something that affects you. Cool little hack I learned,
Speaker 1: and if you move, you don't have to You're you're cleared.
Speaker 1: It's like chieve it without the yeah, exactly exactly, just
Speaker 1: to clear my dress change.
Speaker 4: The other option was putting it in New Jersey, which
Speaker 4: a lot of people don't realize is a suburb of Philadelphia.
Speaker 4: So I don't care. I don't think you would have
Speaker 4: to change the name of the team, but I'm sure
Speaker 4: people in Philadelphia have their reasons.
Speaker 1: No, legally you would. You would have to change it
Speaker 1: because it's lying, you know, like in New York that
Speaker 1: it's the New Jersey Jets and the New Jersey Giants,
Speaker 1: like right, not New York they play.
Speaker 4: I think all professional sports teams should move, should play
Speaker 4: their games in New Jersey.
Speaker 2: I would love that. I would rock a New Jersey
Speaker 2: Lakers outfit.
Speaker 4: That's well blake, it's uh been good so far. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: it's it's something to have you here, man, something's online.
Speaker 4: We are gonna get to know you a little bit better.
Speaker 4: The something's all mine. We're gonna get to know you
Speaker 4: a little bit better.
Speaker 2: In a moment.
Speaker 4: First, we're gonna tell the listeners a couple of the big,
Speaker 4: hard hitting news stories we're talking about today another scam experience,
Speaker 4: pop culture experience. Just hit the towers a second one,
Speaker 4: just one Bridgerton themed ball in Detroit, and that one.
Speaker 2: Just sounds like it's gonna go wrong. No disrespect to Detroit,
Speaker 2: but you're like, the Bridgerton ball in Detroit didn't go
Speaker 2: according to plan? What what's going on here? What's going
Speaker 2: on here? Feel bad for the fans, but yeah, it's
Speaker 2: it's it was quite an attempt, I must say by
Speaker 2: the organizers. We are going to just take a look.
Speaker 4: Eric Adams was indicted double LP world excited obviously, have
Speaker 4: to bring that back because this one's happening in New York.
Speaker 4: And yeah, all sorts of corruption from somebody who's like
Speaker 4: terrible person. You know, his policies have been horrible. I
Speaker 4: mean he's a former cop who has doubled down on
Speaker 4: everything you would expect from a former.
Speaker 2: He's joke mayor.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and however, also some of the wildest moments just
Speaker 4: of public like I want I want to look back
Speaker 4: at too, in particular his interview from earlier this year
Speaker 4: and then at PSA he did for back in twenty eleven. Yeah,
Speaker 4: just because I don't know it's true. It's truly like
Speaker 4: some next level shit that this guy's plays.
Speaker 2: It's just a guy who has no self awareness. And
Speaker 2: that's like the best kind of politician for the purpose
Speaker 2: of this show is someone who is so hopped up
Speaker 2: on their own shit that they're like, record this. Let's
Speaker 2: say your child has a frame. That whole video is
Speaker 2: so stupid. I just want to look at this. I
Speaker 2: think we talked about it briefly when he was running
Speaker 2: for mayor, but like really letting it breathe. You're like,
Speaker 2: and this man was the mayor and in charge of
Speaker 2: the largest police sports.
Speaker 4: We're gonna look at the notebook guy Nicholas Spark's salad
Speaker 4: dressing recipe, and we're gonna look at.
Speaker 2: Ye are ye oh yeah, okay baby.
Speaker 4: So we'll talk about those things plenty more. But first, Blake,
Speaker 4: we do like to ask our guests, what is something
Speaker 4: from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 2: And don't lie.
Speaker 1: Ask and you shall receive. One thing for my search
Speaker 1: history is Jersey City Giants hat. So moved up to
Speaker 1: Jersey City, so basically New York about a week ago
Speaker 1: and I saw this cool hat and I'm like, how soon,
Speaker 1: can you wrap a place that you moved to. We'll
Speaker 1: get to that in a moment. And it turns out
Speaker 1: there's a minor league baseball team in Jersey City called
Speaker 1: the Jersey City Giants, and it's actually where Jackie Robinson
Speaker 1: broke the color barrier in nineteen forty six. So okay,
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where, like it's a big
Speaker 1: baseball fan know that story. But I just thought it
Speaker 1: was in a regular baseball game, but it was like
Speaker 1: a Triple A game, which makes sense. So yeah, first, uh,
Speaker 1: Butler to play a professional this game, I think would
Speaker 1: be a really dope logo for Jesus Christ. Well that's
Speaker 1: how I'm going to actually reappropriate it. And you're stepping
Speaker 1: on this a little bit, but I am starting a
Speaker 1: church where you all have to wear a retro baseball
Speaker 1: uniforms to it, and that's where it starts. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it is going to be Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jesus Christ. Yeah, this is Jesus. And you didn't
Speaker 2: and you're looking for it now are You're gonna have
Speaker 2: to get one on Ebot's field flannels that makes all
Speaker 2: those vintage hats.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where I'm going to get it. That's where
Speaker 1: I'm going to get it. So yeah, and by the way,
Speaker 1: furthest promo, if they could throw me a four percent discount, yeah,
Speaker 1: I would really appreciate it.
Speaker 2: S feel Come on, b I see all the Japanese
Speaker 2: vintage jerseys you do. I'm always I in them. I'm
Speaker 2: always in them. Holler at me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, come on, give me some wool. That's my thing.
Speaker 1: I just I'm sick of all this breathable material.
Speaker 2: We have more wool. I just want to wear a
Speaker 2: thick wool T shirt in the form of a vintage baseball.
Speaker 1: Remember how athletic and comfortable Babe Ruth looked. Yep, I
Speaker 1: found like any world class athlete.
Speaker 2: I think of thy Cobb's glistening skin and I think, Wow,
Speaker 2: that's what I want to wear. And I want to
Speaker 2: be a racist like that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The only thing more glistening than his skin was his
Speaker 1: cleats when he was going into second base biking after
Speaker 1: total piece of shit exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so it turns out that was where Jackie
Speaker 1: Robinson played his first professional game.
Speaker 2: You know what, do you remember the movie? It wasn't
Speaker 2: Tommy Lee Jones ty Cob in that movie, Like that game.
Speaker 1: Was a strong cat. It would be him or Clint Eastwood.
Speaker 2: I just remember I remember not knowing who ty Cob
Speaker 2: was and just seeing that movie a kid, I'm like, Yo,
Speaker 2: what the fuck is up with this guy? A fucking maniac?
Speaker 1: Anyway, Yeah, and then it's like every baseball player was that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember like that.
Speaker 4: That was a time during my childhood where every it
Speaker 4: felt like every week a new like ty Cob biography
Speaker 4: was coming out. They were like, man, this guy could
Speaker 4: hit a baseball and was also racist like the rest
Speaker 4: of America at the time.
Speaker 2: What a story.
Speaker 1: There was a period where I couldn't keep my tie
Speaker 1: Cob and my Walt Disney a tay cop story or
Speaker 1: a Walt Disney story. Yeah, who was the swastik on
Speaker 1: their back? Was it?
Speaker 2: I think that's Elsa? Right? It was Elsa?
Speaker 1: Yeah here Elsa man.
Speaker 4: Elsa has some really problematic tattoos. Oh yeah, you ever
Speaker 4: noticed how she doesn't wear shortsleeves?
Speaker 2: Yeah? White never seen her shoulder blade.
Speaker 4: She always has those gloves on. Man, So the story
Speaker 4: from Frozen is all a conspiracy theory to throw you
Speaker 4: off the scent. Why she really has to wear the
Speaker 4: gloves there's some wild tattoos.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, you don't want to down there? Yeah, down
Speaker 2: there is a weird way to say that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, down there on her hands, on her hands, yes, yeah.
Speaker 4: The Jersey City logo does like also like evokes fishing.
Speaker 4: It looks like somebody has caught the Cincinnati logo with
Speaker 4: a fish hook. And you know who the ultimate fisher
Speaker 4: of the city of Cincinnati was, Guy by the name
Speaker 4: of Jesus.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Oh yeah, all right, yeah let him thank you.
Speaker 2: I have to I know. And he was a gold
Speaker 2: star guy skylight reason every time we do a video
Speaker 2: episode it ends up going in like really weird Jesus directions.
Speaker 4: That's our first episode. If people want to see, like
Speaker 4: the episode that would make my ship, right. I was
Speaker 4: you know what I was saying all this ship. I
Speaker 4: was like wanted to say Catholic and like Christian school
Speaker 4: growing up. I was like, what's what's up wonder that?
Speaker 4: Like anyway, check out the video. Yeah, it's the thought
Speaker 4: I feel like everyone's head.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, of course we're all perverts.
Speaker 1: Come on now, they should blur his feet out.
Speaker 2: You think Jesus got a wiki feet?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean probably the most visible feet in
Speaker 4: the game.
Speaker 1: You know, the longest arches outside of Saint Louis. I've
Speaker 1: been saying it for years.
Speaker 2: Wow, is that because San Louis only has one arch? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, then how do you think it got there?
Speaker 1: Jesus on something?
Speaker 2: This is bullshit. No, what Jesus does have a wiki
Speaker 2: feet page? Somebody do the fucking literal lord's work and
Speaker 2: make sure he has a Wiki feet page. I mean
Speaker 2: he was.
Speaker 4: He was a foot freak, like a lot of people
Speaker 4: are like, oh my god. He was willing to watch
Speaker 4: watch Yeah, yeah, willing. He was doing them a favor. Yeah,
Speaker 4: the guy was it with my fucking mouth. Bro, I
Speaker 4: don't care.
Speaker 1: That's I'll wash your feet like I don't know you.
Speaker 1: I guess i'll eat dinner.
Speaker 2: I guess I'll clean him with my mouth, jeez, because
Speaker 2: I just want to show you how like relatable I am.
Speaker 2: Why does he keep going? Then the real Jesus, the
Speaker 2: real Jesus shows up, he goes different. What the fuck
Speaker 2: did I tell you? Get out of here? That wasn't Jesus. Guys,
Speaker 2: that's a fucking pervert who goes around sucking people's feet
Speaker 2: saying he's me.
Speaker 1: Why is no one arresting this guy. People are put
Speaker 1: to death for.
Speaker 2: Defense. No, no, no, we must forgive this young man
Speaker 2: and to demonstrate, I will wash his feet. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: that's all that.
Speaker 4: Perverts wanted the whole time. Someone, it's a parable. It's
Speaker 4: in there if you if you read close blake, what's
Speaker 4: something you think is under rated?
Speaker 1: Underrated? Cuckoo clocks? We have clock? Don't don't you there?
Speaker 2: Order the anti couner? Okay, go on, go on? Why
Speaker 2: was that?
Speaker 1: Was that a hard? Like Jesus being a foot?

Speaker 1: Because you're cuckoo for cuckoo clocks?
Speaker 2: Yes, thanks your problem for cocoa clocks.
Speaker 1: But by my friend Todd and I used to have
Speaker 1: a bit where it'd be like Toddy blast I don't yes, yes,
Speaker 1: it would be like did you hear about I'm about
Speaker 1: our friend Eric. Yeah, he's in really bad shape. He
Speaker 1: went cuckoo for cocoa puffs and he's so he's sick,
Speaker 1: he's completely sick. He knocks on the door in the
Speaker 1: middle of the night trying to get them. But yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I think I don't know if you noticed, most clocks
Speaker 1: don't have a bird that comes out of them. I
Speaker 1: would say fifty five percent of clocks don't have birds
Speaker 1: that come out, Yeah, but the ones the other forty
Speaker 1: five percent do And I love the fact that it
Speaker 1: kind of helps you keep track of the day and
Speaker 1: kind of takes the edge off of the eternal clock
Speaker 1: ticking towards your death off a little bit where it's
Speaker 1: like I lost another hour. But because what's the times
Speaker 1: the bird? Yeah, it's like it's really not that bad.
Speaker 2: Full of life it wait, cuckoo's for every hour? Is
Speaker 2: that how it works? Too? Like how well grandfather oh
Speaker 2: man when it hits eleven o'clock, So yeah, it is bad.
Speaker 2: You're like, it's actually cuckoo for punctuality.
Speaker 4: Yeah it is, you know stick or yeah, so assuming
Speaker 4: cuckoo for punctuality.
Speaker 1: So what so what are that bad? But yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I love them. But one o'clock two o'clock.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna rock around the clock tonight. This show is
Speaker 2: no good. We really are.
Speaker 1: We're gonna the show is a blemish.
Speaker 4: I wonder if people like didn't recognize it was bad
Speaker 4: when it was just recorded, but now that there's like
Speaker 4: a video component, like, wait, what the fuck are we listeners?
Speaker 1: Okay, this is people, this is people with brains.
Speaker 4: They're just saying nursery rhymes. Right now? What what blake is?
Speaker 4: Something you think is overrated?
Speaker 1: I'll fucking tell you what's overrated. Smart homes. Smart homes.
Speaker 1: So we moved into a place that, you know, nice,
Speaker 1: like just a normal place. But the guy who lived
Speaker 1: here before, who doesn't fucking own it, just rewired the
Speaker 1: entire apartment with smart home capabilities. And I can't turn
Speaker 1: on the lights. I can't turn off the fucking lights.
Speaker 1: The shades will go up and down. I can't operate
Speaker 1: the shades. So it's it's an actual prison that I'm
Speaker 1: living in. We're also it's motion detecting, so in the
Speaker 1: middle of the night i'm groggy, I'll go to the
Speaker 1: bathroom the fucking all the lights come on in the
Speaker 1: bathroom and shut it off. Right, Yes, it's horrible. It's hard.
Speaker 1: So anyway, you just get blind by the lights and
Speaker 1: then yeah, I'm repped up like a douce. So I
Speaker 1: don't buy.
Speaker 2: A douche that used to rent this place before. Ye wait,
Speaker 2: so so what do you do? Like you need an
Speaker 2: app or something like? Is there any way to rest
Speaker 2: control from the fucking machines in any way?
Speaker 1: So I tried just pouring water all over spring water all.
Speaker 2: Over the movies.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is just like some blue lightning, just like
Speaker 4: a few lines of blue lights water. It also works
Speaker 4: when with Tesla's if you want to get no, actually
Speaker 4: that's not don't listen to that advice.
Speaker 2: Cyber truck not in car wash mode. I think it's
Speaker 2: it's still an issue.
Speaker 1: But yeah, but so it's that's the thing where it's
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be easy, like it's supposed to make
Speaker 1: your life easier, the smart technology, but it's actually causing
Speaker 1: more stress. So there's there's an app that we don't
Speaker 1: have access to. We have to find this guy, we
Speaker 1: have to.
Speaker 2: It's just really like to be like, hey, sorry, did
Speaker 2: you rent this place in Jersey City? Like can I
Speaker 2: have like the code?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Wow, that's exactly what's happening, And it seems like
Speaker 1: we're just going to have to get new like because
Speaker 1: some advice I got is never try to do the
Speaker 1: electric in your home yourself, Like just don't it stand
Speaker 1: because you know your fucking room you're home.
Speaker 2: Gave me that advice, fucking coward.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I like small man. You had a really
Speaker 1: soft voice. No it was, but yeah, anyway, so I'm nervous.
Speaker 1: I'm definitely not going to do it. So I think
Speaker 1: we have to get like an electrician here. Just take
Speaker 1: out the things that I won't even.
Speaker 4: Do a task in my home if it in a
Speaker 4: room that has electricity in it.
Speaker 1: I agree. I have the same rule. Yes I won't.
Speaker 1: I have to have someone come in and turn the
Speaker 1: micro wave on me and.
Speaker 2: Maybe I could get electric cute it. Oh shit, I'm nervous.
Speaker 1: I also keep my head right next to the door
Speaker 1: when we when we microwave.
Speaker 2: That's just like I like to hear it cook and sizzle.
Speaker 8: I do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you got to listen for the popcorn to pop.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you between the kernels to know exactly.
Speaker 1: Baby it's popping.
Speaker 2: Babe, your ear is really red, is it? Babe? Times
Speaker 2: as big as your other ear.
Speaker 1: Ah, yeah, that's that's my listener to my microwave.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 4: This one's more vibration, So that's my microwave popcorn listening here. Okay,
Speaker 4: you can't expect it to work as good as the
Speaker 4: other one. All right, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 4: come back and talk about a bridger ten themed ball.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back. And we're back. We're back. It's true.
Speaker 1: We are, We're back, we are and this is yeah,
Speaker 1: this is.
Speaker 4: The theme giving Glasgow Yep, Willy Wanka Chopa Factory a
Speaker 4: little bit.
Speaker 2: A lot of a lot of uh scammy balls and
Speaker 2: fan events out there, and yeah, it's happened again. So obviously,
Speaker 2: like Bridgerton is a huge show with a ton of
Speaker 2: fans that would like love to pretend that they are
Speaker 2: in the show. I totally get the appeal, Like it
Speaker 2: has its own aesthetic and like musically, you know, bashion wise,
Speaker 2: et cetera. And so Netflix knows this and they haven't
Speaker 2: a legit event called the Queen's Ball that has like
Speaker 2: gone like traveled across the country and world like cities
Speaker 2: like in like La New York, Melbourne in Australia, and
Speaker 2: it's like a fucking full on production like set recreations.
Speaker 2: They have actual outfits from the productions that you can
Speaker 2: look at, really like a portrait, the photo booth, themed
Speaker 2: bars with bartenders dressed in period clothing, a dance show
Speaker 2: like a queen that shows up and chooses a diamond
Speaker 2: of the evening. It's like an event, and that Netflix
Speaker 2: party has tickets starting at thirty nine dollars. So I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: that's not bad. So when people in Detroit, reasonable, yeah,
Speaker 2: when people in Detroit heard about a Bridgerton ball with
Speaker 2: tickets costing anywhere from one hundred twenty dollars to one
Speaker 2: thousand dollars, people got excited.
Speaker 4: The web miles my brain when I hear, Okay, the
Speaker 4: other one's forty dollars, this one starts at one hundred.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be three times better at minimum, at least
Speaker 4: a minimum.
Speaker 2: That is Yeah.
Speaker 4: I'm such a sucker for shit like that.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's that's definitely fan math for high price
Speaker 2: equels good goodness.
Speaker 1: We the website said is it made in America? Can
Speaker 1: I ask you that is the event? Because I know
Speaker 1: the shows in Britain, But is the event made in America?
Speaker 2: The event is ail. Yes, it is built for tough exactly. Okay,
Speaker 2: it's patriotic, but so the on the event website, it said,
Speaker 2: step into the enchanting world of the Regency era at
Speaker 2: the Detroit Bridgerton Themed Ball Join us.
Speaker 4: The Hygatt Regency that was the Regency era that we were.
Speaker 1: Two thousand and two, two thousand.
Speaker 2: And we know it's a bando now, but we've turned
Speaker 2: it into a whimsical event space. So it says, join
Speaker 2: us for an evening of sophistication, grace and historical charm.
Speaker 2: Experience a night like no other, filled with music, dance,
Speaker 2: and exquisite costumes. And but this event started off shaky though.
Speaker 2: The event was originally supposed to happen in late August,
Speaker 2: but at the last minute organizers had to cancel due
Speaker 2: to unforeseen circumstances and people didn't get a refund. That's
Speaker 2: the first red flag for people. Okay, they rescheduled it
Speaker 2: to this last weekend, and people still shelled out the
Speaker 2: money to get in on the unique experience and paid
Speaker 2: a lot of money. Also, like people were dressed up
Speaker 2: like custom custom made outfits, doing their hair, all kinds
Speaker 2: of shit like that, and what they got was not
Speaker 2: quite what was advertised here, Like this is from a
Speaker 2: local news report about the would be fantastic event.
Speaker 8: The way that it was described is that this was
Speaker 8: going to be a Bridgerton evening. We were going to
Speaker 8: have classical music, good dinner, and there was going to
Speaker 8: be a play, and they were going to pick dime
Speaker 8: into the season. They were going to give away all
Speaker 8: of these prizes and we went in and it's going
Speaker 8: to share.
Speaker 2: Hype me in there.
Speaker 9: Organizers Uncle in the LLC have since disabled its website
Speaker 9: and turned off social media comments. I saw reaching out
Speaker 9: to the co owner, Chelsea Beard as early as five
Speaker 9: am Monday. Monday afternoon, seven News Detroit's Whitney Burnie also called.
Speaker 2: And then doorstep in someone They got no response. Okay,
Speaker 2: and yes you did have a hype man who was
Speaker 2: also like a play because they really I mean, if either.
Speaker 4: Of us ever get it's interviewed for a local like
Speaker 4: something terrible happens to us, we have to make a
Speaker 4: promise right now the other of us will go and we.
Speaker 2: Should just be normal. Yeah, exactly, And I'll just do
Speaker 2: like West Sky, I'll do West Side Gun fucking like anyway.
Speaker 2: So the event was fucking shaky. The the like the
Speaker 2: event space was empty. Uh. The food was some regular
Speaker 2: ass buffet that ran out within one hour. I put
Speaker 2: a picture here in the dock that you can see
Speaker 2: that is it is all giving like a mediocre prom.
Speaker 2: It's like a line outside like the Yeah, the food.
Speaker 2: I guess does proms have food? Maybe maybe it's like
Speaker 2: a cash bar wedding.
Speaker 1: They have food.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have Blake's a.
Speaker 1: I'm a prom king.
Speaker 2: This is what I have. So this shit was like
Speaker 2: you know the they said people weren't even scanning your
Speaker 2: like tickets at the door, but there was like nothing,
Speaker 2: So randos are just walking in and eating the food
Speaker 2: that ran out within one hour. Like I said, the
Speaker 2: Netflix event had a full bar. They were promising people drinks.
Speaker 2: The only drinks they had was, I'm not joking, blue
Speaker 2: kool aid. You had to buy. That was the only
Speaker 2: beverages on sale for people. They were promised libations. Okay,
Speaker 2: they marked it up too. Apparently the woman who is
Speaker 2: playing the queen people were saying was totally out of
Speaker 2: character while basically hustling her business card to anyone that
Speaker 2: would listen. So I think you could pose and take
Speaker 2: a picture and she was like like, Okay, that's my
Speaker 2: favorite detail, just not even in characters like okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: so if you need me, this is my card.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good to see you. Okay, I'm the Queen of
Speaker 1: Detroit real Estate. I'm a real here. Why don't I answer.
Speaker 2: I'm Detroit's muffler queen. You got any muffler problems, you
Speaker 2: come see me. Okay, car making too much noise here?
Speaker 2: It takes absolutely oh shut that car.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: There are pictures from inside the event that have like
Speaker 4: promotions for other like events on the wall and shit,
Speaker 4: like it's supposed to be this immersive thing and it
Speaker 4: just looks like you're inside a fucking yeah bustation.
Speaker 2: My favorite part is like, so there was a main
Speaker 2: sort of dining room floor that filled up immediately, so
Speaker 2: people were relegated to the upstairs that was this It
Speaker 2: was just a fucking empty room, like yeah, bummed out
Speaker 2: people in the nicest fancy dress like sitting like on
Speaker 2: their phones, like, man, this shit was it looks like
Speaker 2: a Radison.
Speaker 4: Yeah, not a high regency, honestly, no, not even a region.
Speaker 4: The live music they were promised, okay, they had live music.
Speaker 4: It was people felt so bad for this woman. It
Speaker 4: was just this young woman on violin by herself who
Speaker 4: played They said, for like four hours straight, damn no breaks,
Speaker 4: just having to work that violin.
Speaker 2: I don't know how many times you can play, you know,
Speaker 2: Desposito on violin for people, But that's what she did.
Speaker 2: Classy though it is. I mean, look shout out to
Speaker 2: what is it that Vitamin String quartet that their entire
Speaker 2: catalog blew up because they were using their like sort
Speaker 2: of rethought up remixed current songs with like string arrangements
Speaker 2: throughout the show. They said that back right though, right, well,
Speaker 2: what if we played yellow on violin? Yeah, we had
Speaker 2: one of those of my wedding fys? Oh really? Oh yeah?
Speaker 2: Have you heard clocks on cello? Yeah? Actually it kind
Speaker 2: of goes is that that's a Cold Play song? Is that? Yeah? Cloth?
Speaker 1: Are we making fun of this? Are we saying that
Speaker 1: we like it because.
Speaker 4: I was making fun of it and also saying that
Speaker 4: I fully did it at my wedding?
Speaker 2: This shit goes hard. But like the backdrops again, this
Speaker 2: is supposed to be a like again anywhere from one
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty to one thousand dollars. You could see
Speaker 2: like they just unfrilled some plastic rows like tablecloth print,
Speaker 2: and they're like, and that's your backdrop for photos. This
Speaker 2: is this poor like lady having to serve a bunch
Speaker 2: of angry, upset people in fancy dress. The food, and
Speaker 2: then the dancing. Right, the dancing was one exotic dancer.
Speaker 2: They wheeled out the play or whatever. They wheeled out
Speaker 2: like one of those like you don't need a ceiling
Speaker 2: to put this poll up for someone to dance on.
Speaker 2: And then this is the quote unquote entertainment for the evening.
Speaker 2: I'll just play quick clip this. I don't remember this.
Speaker 2: These four people, remember you weren't looking hard enough because
Speaker 2: obviously there was string music. Okay, the royal pole dancer
Speaker 2: has arrived. Now please get out your singers, get out
Speaker 2: your shillings for this intrepid young business person. But yeah,
Speaker 2: like every other fucking scam event, the organizers are saying
Speaker 2: anything but sorry, here's your money back. This is what
Speaker 2: they said, quote, we understand that not everyone had the
Speaker 2: experience they This is like to almost like identical to
Speaker 2: the fucking Glasgow Willy Wonka one. We understand that not
Speaker 2: everyone had the experience they hope for at our most
Speaker 2: recent events Sunday Night at the Harmony Club, and for
Speaker 2: that we sincerely apologize. Our intention was to provide a
Speaker 2: magical evening, but we recognize that organizational challenges affected the
Speaker 2: enjoyment of some guests. We take full responsibility and accountability
Speaker 2: for these shortcomings. Please know that we are working diligently
Speaker 2: to address all concerns to ensure that all guests have
Speaker 2: the enjoyable experience they deserve. Your feedback is invaluable, and
Speaker 2: we truly appreciate both the positive and constructive comments shared
Speaker 2: with us. They deactivated their webs like, they took down
Speaker 2: their website, they took down fuck in everything you can, like,
Speaker 2: there's no comments, like all the comments are disabled on
Speaker 2: their Instagram account, so that's where things are, and people
Speaker 2: are basically out a lot of money.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately this one. It seems like I don't know if
Speaker 1: this is funnier or sadder, which is a question I
Speaker 1: ask myself about pretty much any topic. But because a
Speaker 1: lot of these had to do these scam events were
Speaker 1: geared towards children, sure right, yeah, right, yeah, And this
Speaker 1: is one of the first ones that's geared towards adults,
Speaker 1: so like it is sadder in a way where at
Speaker 1: least you could get angry. We're like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: these people they deceive my child, and like yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: righteous anger, yeah yeah. And that was just like, oh,
Speaker 1: I wanted to have a nice, magical evening as the
Speaker 1: princess took this away from it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, as someone who is part of a few fandoms,
Speaker 2: like I totally understand the urge to do something like this,
Speaker 2: Like you know, someone is creating the world that you
Speaker 2: secretly want to live in, or not even secretly, you
Speaker 2: tell everybody about how you wish you lived on a
Speaker 2: Corellian cruiser. But people, I think this is the thing
Speaker 2: to your point, Blake, for an adult event like this,
Speaker 2: we have to be more diligent when it comes to
Speaker 2: assessing the bullshit because you start just like vague clip
Speaker 2: art and stock images from the show without anything really
Speaker 2: being there. And again they canceled the first event. I
Speaker 2: was looking on Instagram. Someone claimed in a comment they
Speaker 2: worked for the first venue, and they said the reason
Speaker 2: the first event was shut down is because the event
Speaker 2: planners did not fully pay out all the deposits they
Speaker 2: needed to actually hold the event. And I don't know
Speaker 2: if that's how true that is. But red flags you
Speaker 2: already paid once, they didn't give you a recha.
Speaker 4: The company that the company that organized it was called
Speaker 4: Uncle and Me LLC.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, I don't know why that.
Speaker 4: Gives you the sense that they're going to do a
Speaker 4: good job of putting on a Bridgerton gallop?
Speaker 2: Yeah have you ever done anything with your uncle? And
Speaker 2: it was like, okay, I remember, like helping my uncle
Speaker 2: build something wasteful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a support group for perverts, is what you
Speaker 1: would call Uncle and Me. Like, that's what that should
Speaker 1: be called. I big unc energy, huge unk energy. I
Speaker 1: got scammed recently where with stand up, which I should
Speaker 1: know better, Like this is a where I should know better.
Speaker 1: I've been doing this long enough. Where there was this
Speaker 1: a book or a un quote booker being like, hey,
Speaker 1: we're putting on this event. It's uh Keenan Thompson is
Speaker 1: presenting it and it's a talent event and I'm like,
Speaker 1: they say he's hosting it. He said he's presenting it,
Speaker 1: and it was very vague as to like who the
Speaker 1: like talent bookers were going to be there, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, this thing's not costing me money, it's five
Speaker 1: minutes from my place, Like it's really no sweat off
Speaker 1: my back if this is a scam. But this seems
Speaker 1: like a scam.
Speaker 2: Fuck it, I'm going for it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Keenan Thompson is also in France for the
Speaker 1: Olympics right now, Like I know he's not coming.
Speaker 5: With this, verifiably not even on the same continent. But
Speaker 5: you're like, I'm watching him with Kevin Hart on NBC
Speaker 5: right now. I know he's not flying back for this shit.
Speaker 5: And uh yeah, it was a total ripoff, but it
Speaker 5: was funny because it didn't cost me money, whereas if
Speaker 5: it cost like one hundred and twenty bucks a thousand,
Speaker 5: but like that is so you it's doubled that book.
Speaker 2: So they booked you for this gig and you're like,
Speaker 2: I'll do it, and then you showed up and there
Speaker 2: just was no gig, or just was no Keenan.
Speaker 1: There was no Keenan. There were no talent book like
Speaker 1: you know, like agents or like you know, talent bookers.
Speaker 1: So it was just some scumbag from Atlantic City and
Speaker 1: stand up. I did stand up. I killed But it
Speaker 1: was all you know, like the organizer who fucking I killed.
Speaker 1: I committed yeah, first degree murder, and we're trying to
Speaker 1: get that down to manslaughter. No one's ever Hey listen,
Speaker 1: I have passion for everything I do, particularly crimes of
Speaker 1: And yeah, it was a thing where you know, they
Speaker 1: clearly were taking the door the money. This was the
Speaker 1: saddest part is that the audience who did pay money
Speaker 1: thought Keenan Thompson was going to be there. So there
Speaker 1: were like two hundred and fifty audience members there, and
Speaker 1: then the host in passing is like, all right, everybody,
Speaker 1: we got a great show for you tonight. You know,
Speaker 1: Keenan couldn't make it, but I think and then you
Speaker 1: just heard the whole crowd go oh.
Speaker 2: It was such did people get up right and couldn't
Speaker 2: make it?
Speaker 4: But he's still confidently and fully presents this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we we are using his name with or
Speaker 1: without his knowledge, So there's that.
Speaker 2: Please don't tag him in anything.
Speaker 1: Don't tag him.
Speaker 2: Got a bunch of season desists already. It's a it's
Speaker 2: a head. Yeah, you know what it is dealing with
Speaker 2: these stars. I'm sorry that that it didn't work out
Speaker 2: for you, but you know we're here to support you.
Speaker 4: Thank you, yeah, I think these Bridgerton things are going
Speaker 4: to be more and more calm, Like I think this
Speaker 4: is just the beginning. Like we I read an article
Speaker 4: about the ORB or whatever the fuck is, you know,
Speaker 4: the sphere in Las Vegas, and like that is part
Speaker 4: of this big like thing that whoever like advertisers and marketers,
Speaker 4: whoever like creates psychographic networks like says that is like
Speaker 4: it's the big thing that people just like want immersive
Speaker 4: experiences because our lives are bad, and so we're like
Speaker 4: they're like, yeah, the just like want to feel like
Speaker 4: they don't exist in the context of their lives. They
Speaker 4: want to feel like they are in some other world.
Speaker 4: And so I think other than the ORB, the ORB
Speaker 4: is the only one that I've like heard of that
Speaker 4: like consistently people are like, yeah, it's really weird, like
Speaker 4: you don't feel like you're on the planety at all
Speaker 4: from some people. Some people are like, yeah, it's just
Speaker 4: a weird bad motion sickness experience. But like if you
Speaker 4: go to like disney Land or Disney World, like as
Speaker 4: an adult, it does like that That's what that whole
Speaker 4: experience is about, is like immersive feeling like you're not there,
Speaker 4: and it still feels kind of to me, not to everyone. Obviously,
Speaker 4: they're like Disney adults who like love Disney, and I
Speaker 4: think that's great, but like, to me, it still feels
Speaker 4: like you're like in a bar when the lights come on,
Speaker 4: like on your childhood.
Speaker 1: Right, yes, yeah, because you don't just see many and
Speaker 1: you don't just see like goofy or whatever. You also
Speaker 1: see a guy vomiting in the corner. You know, it's
Speaker 1: you do get the whole right, Yeah, that's why it's
Speaker 1: you know, for kids, it's they don't they have tunnel vision,
Speaker 1: like they see like, oh my god, it's it's you know,
Speaker 1: I was trying to think of a celebrity equivalent for
Speaker 1: an adult. Jeff Bezos was the only. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's Bezos. Have you been to Amazon Land. It's one
Speaker 1: of my It's incredible.
Speaker 4: And everybody's gonna be disappointed in it because I think
Speaker 4: the the ideal that we have is like most of
Speaker 4: being like transported by an immersive experience is mostly from
Speaker 4: our childhood. I totally sympathize with it. I think like
Speaker 4: we all crave that, especially more and more in the
Speaker 4: current environment of a disintegrating empire. But I do feel
Speaker 4: like we're just going to continue to have stories where
Speaker 4: people are like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, come on in here.
Speaker 4: If you just go through that door, it's fully immersive
Speaker 4: and like you're gonna forget the world that you live in.
Speaker 2: There's there's like a sports or like a venue downtown
Speaker 2: called or not by the Sofie like in Inglewood called
Speaker 2: Cosm that's basically a half spear screen where they show
Speaker 2: sporting events now and it's like a like it's the
Speaker 2: fucking screen is oh yeah wild And they show like
Speaker 2: soccer games there and I was gonna go see Arsenal play,
Speaker 2: and like the tickets are so much money, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Here Like this is I'll just give you an idea
Speaker 2: of like what these seats look like. God, Like, look
Speaker 2: at this.
Speaker 1: It's oh my god.
Speaker 2: Like so it's a full it's like two levels and
Speaker 2: you can buy like a booth has eight seats and
Speaker 2: it's like three hundred or four hundred dollars. It's a
Speaker 2: shit ton of money just to watch on like a
Speaker 2: freaky screen. But again, I think for a lot of people,
Speaker 2: especially if you like to watch sports in a new way,
Speaker 2: it's kind of worth the money. But yeah, like everything
Speaker 2: is just becoming more and more immersive, and like they
Speaker 2: pump stadium sound into there and they try and give
Speaker 2: you a feel like, hey, can't make the game, give
Speaker 2: us ninety dollars to sit down.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, it's like I could just go to the game, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: to your to your point miles, Like that's you know,
Speaker 1: Arsenal plays in London. You can't just go to the game.
Speaker 1: So there must be some people who love Yetta fans
Speaker 1: in other countries.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like, hey man, you know, doing
Speaker 2: drugs is pretty cool, and you're like the real thing
Speaker 2: I've read.
Speaker 4: All right, let's uh, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 4: we'll come back. And we're back, and the government of
Speaker 4: the City of New York is disintegrating as we speak.
Speaker 4: Eric Adams was indicted, and before we get to that,
Speaker 4: I want to talk about Nicholas Sparks's salad dressing, like that.
Speaker 2: Kings Sparks is salad dressing the news. That was the
Speaker 2: first ever indictment of a New York mayor.
Speaker 1: But what about this, So let's not get to head
Speaker 1: let's not put the cart ahead of the horse. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: let's get to the notebook.
Speaker 2: Don't put the dressing in front of the bowl. Now.
Speaker 4: So this is going viral because an article pointed out
Speaker 4: that he is putting. It's from a profile of him in.
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition.
Speaker 4: So New York Times basically did a profile of him
Speaker 4: in their real estate section. And the reason people noticed
Speaker 4: it is the reporter and photographer arrived as Sparks was
Speaker 4: making himself a salad that included a dressing that one
Speaker 4: of the ingredients was sixteen packets of Splendor.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, that's why y'all were saying that earlier.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I thought you were exaggerating.
Speaker 2: No, sixteen packets, So I don't know. Have you guys
Speaker 2: had experience with Splenda? Yes?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah?
Speaker 4: So like one Splendor is the equivalent of, like they say,
Speaker 4: two packets of sugar. But I think it's way sweeter
Speaker 4: than that. It's so overpoweringly sweet. I mean it's you know,
Speaker 4: it's lab concocted to just replace sugar, like replace your
Speaker 4: memory of sugar.
Speaker 1: If my back's against the wall with like sweet and
Speaker 1: lower equals staring me, you know, like down the barrel,
Speaker 1: I will use Splendor, but I have to have it
Speaker 1: at least you know, at least it's.
Speaker 2: Like you have to just like you gotta get a
Speaker 2: little on your fingertips and blow it right it like yeah,
Speaker 2: like on your gun, Like when a cop finds like
Speaker 2: a brick of cocaine in a movie and they have
Speaker 2: to put it in there, like just put it on
Speaker 2: your gums. Yeah, yep yeah.
Speaker 4: The person writing the article about this about about this
Speaker 4: New York Times article said that it's sweeter than a
Speaker 4: can of coke, and I just have to take a
Speaker 4: little issue with your police work there.
Speaker 2: So wow, there you go, Coast.
Speaker 1: Defund journalism.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 4: They we might as well at this point, we might
Speaker 4: so thirty two t spoots. So they're saying, sixteen splendid
Speaker 4: packets is the equivalent of thirty two sugar packets, which
Speaker 4: again I think that's low, but we're gonna go with that.
Speaker 4: Thirty two packets of sugar is one hundred and eighty
Speaker 4: two grams of sugar. That is the equivalent of the
Speaker 4: sweetness of an entire six pack of coke, like cooked
Speaker 4: down into like black tar corn ZERU Oh, it is
Speaker 4: so fucking sweet, Like it makes sense, Like he writes
Speaker 4: the treacliest like shit that has ever come out of
Speaker 4: a fucking word processor. So it makes sense. But like,
Speaker 4: I can't imagine having something like it would just bend
Speaker 4: the laws of sweetness in your brain, like your your
Speaker 4: entire overtin window of what is like sweet. Would it
Speaker 4: would just like punch a hole through your fucking brain,
Speaker 4: Like the pleasure cortex of your brain would just have
Speaker 4: a hole in it. After eating this.
Speaker 2: Salad dress, I guess if that was sugar, you might
Speaker 2: like experience some light diabetic shock or something like that,
Speaker 2: but luckily sucralose. Yeah, that's why I can get away
Speaker 2: with eating one hundred and twenty eight or one hundred
Speaker 2: and eighty two grams of that shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too, Where I feel like
Speaker 1: once it hits a certain number, it ceases to matter anymore.
Speaker 1: How much more it keeps going off where it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm in one hundred and sixty degree heat or or
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty degree heat, it's all right, well
Speaker 1: you're dead. It doesn't matter if it's that or if
Speaker 1: it's one thousand degree heat, Like it's done dead, you know.
Speaker 1: So Yeah, I feel like it doesn't even matter.
Speaker 2: This description of it is fucking my mind up, okay yeah. Quote.
Speaker 2: Earlier in the day, before a photographer and reporter arrived
Speaker 2: at his home, mister Spark spent the morning in his
Speaker 2: and it's at his kitchen's granite countertop, chopping two skinless,
Speaker 2: boneless rotisserie chickens, a few stocks of celery, and a
Speaker 2: idealia onion. He then whipped together a dressing consisting of mayonnaise, dill,
Speaker 2: pickle relish, jalapeno relish, apple, side of a salt pepper,
Speaker 2: cayenne pepper, and sixteen packets of Splendor, and.
Speaker 4: Then rendering every other ingredient completely pointless because you can't
Speaker 4: taste them anymore.
Speaker 2: Like what the fuck it said? Uh? Sparks apparently avoids carbs,
Speaker 2: explained quote. You can use real sugar, but why throws
Speaker 2: sugar in if you can use splenda. Splenda is about
Speaker 2: twice a sweedish sugar. So, according to the conversion chart
Speaker 2: of the box, sixteen packets is equivalent like you said,
Speaker 2: thirty two teaspoons of sugar.
Speaker 4: Thirty two teaspoons of sugar, which is one hundred and
Speaker 4: eighty two grams. It is not a single coke.
Speaker 2: You got sixpack?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a six who's the person put an arrow
Speaker 1: dipped in poisoned dart frog venom in the middle of
Speaker 1: the day.
Speaker 2: It's like, what is this shit doing? Man? Wow? Is
Speaker 2: this like does he have like some kind of like
Speaker 2: damage to his tongue or something. It's like.
Speaker 4: It is like it is so on point like that
Speaker 4: he would like salad dressing for him would be something
Speaker 4: that like tastes like it is being coming directly out
Speaker 4: of a uniforms ass like because he is such a
Speaker 4: just like the ship he writes is just so. It's
Speaker 4: like Christian romance is what he right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll like tastes like a thousand islands. He was
Speaker 2: like a spicy I don't like. I don't like thousand islands.
Speaker 2: I need more, I need more sit Yeah.
Speaker 1: I always put a little bit of diet coke in
Speaker 1: my thousand island dressing, just to cut it a little
Speaker 1: bit all us, just so I.
Speaker 2: Can slice an island is way too spicy.
Speaker 1: Way too Can we put a few less islands in this?
Speaker 1: I'm fine with like one, maybe a long island.
Speaker 2: Too long islands? What these are?
Speaker 1: Pacific islands that you're using?
Speaker 2: A long island dressing is just all the dressings put together.
Speaker 2: Can I get that with Long Island dressing? What's that?
Speaker 2: It's ran blue cheese, thousand Islands, Italian for whatever you got? Yeah,
Speaker 2: it all together, French, Russian, A Long Island all right?
Speaker 4: Speaking of Long Island, New York's very owns island has
Speaker 4: been indicted.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, speaking.
Speaker 4: Of Long Island, close Long Island, where he probably lives.
Speaker 4: There's a great anecdote, like, so he has been accruing
Speaker 4: an amazing array of anecdotes over the course, over the
Speaker 4: course of his mayorship doing horrible things to the people
Speaker 4: of New York and the City of New York, you know,
Speaker 4: over policing the subways, getting people shot, but also just
Speaker 4: doing the wildest ship there. There's an anecdote from when
Speaker 4: he was running for mayor where they were, like they
Speaker 4: suspected he didn't actually live in New York City because
Speaker 4: he didn't, and so they staked out the place where
Speaker 4: he supposedly lived in Brooklyn for like a week, and
Speaker 4: he came there twice, and like one of the times
Speaker 4: that he came there, he like drove away on the
Speaker 4: sidewalk from his residency because there was traffic outside, so
Speaker 4: he just drove on the sidewalk.
Speaker 2: That's some gangster New York shit, the fucking Rush Hour movie. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just like, hey, put the siren on the roof
Speaker 2: like a fucking detective, Like all right, yeah, let's go,
Speaker 2: let's go.
Speaker 4: But I just want like some greatest hits from his
Speaker 4: time as a public figure as that time seems like
Speaker 4: it might be coming to an end. From earlier this year,
Speaker 4: there was an interview where he was asked to sum
Speaker 4: up twenty twenty three. The implication of this interview is like,
Speaker 4: you were under investigation for loads of corruption, but we're
Speaker 4: not gonna directly ask you about that. We're just gonna
Speaker 4: say it's been kind of an up and down year,
Speaker 4: so nice, So how do you give us one word
Speaker 4: to sum up twenty twenty three. Yeah, And this is
Speaker 4: what he had to say.
Speaker 2: Mister Mayor, we've come to the end of what was
Speaker 2: a very eventful twenty twenty three, Right, So when you
Speaker 2: look at them, it's like, Bro, they didn't they right before?
Speaker 2: This raid his house?
Speaker 4: Yeah, like took everyone's phones and shit, Okay, his house.
Speaker 2: In the house of people like everyone who worked for him.
Speaker 2: Totality of the year, if you had to describe it,
Speaker 2: and it's up to do in one word? What would
Speaker 2: that word be?
Speaker 6: And tell me why New York this is a place
Speaker 6: where every day you wake up the work experience everything
Speaker 6: from a plane crashing into our trade center to a
Speaker 6: person who's celebrating a new business that's open.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 6: This is a very very complicated city. That's why this
Speaker 6: is the greatest city on the globe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like it feels like a weird stuff on
Speaker 2: bit from SNLS, Like this city has everything. A plane
Speaker 2: crashing into one of our World Clint Towers at any moment,
Speaker 2: someone's celebrating the opening of a new business.
Speaker 1: And that's it. Actually just those two things.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he said, nine to eleven is why New York
Speaker 4: is the greatest city on the globe. Not the resilience
Speaker 4: in the face of nine to eleven, but the fact
Speaker 4: that nine to eleven could happen here at any time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is wise.
Speaker 1: It happened into Chicago, anywhere, it happened to Philly.
Speaker 8: La.
Speaker 2: Sorry, he looked.
Speaker 4: Up, saw the second plane hit the towers that only
Speaker 4: in New York and smiled to himself.
Speaker 2: He did a yeah. Charles Dunton from Rudy Clapping Gifts, Alright,
Speaker 2: what will you think of next to New York? What
Speaker 2: motherfucker under attack? And then.
Speaker 4: And then there was his twenty eleven p s A
Speaker 4: about just how to be.
Speaker 2: A good parent.
Speaker 4: I don't want to talk too much about it before
Speaker 4: we get into it. I again, like that interview feels
Speaker 4: like an SNL sketch. This is like better than yeah,
Speaker 4: I've seen this was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is just how to check your child's room
Speaker 2: for contraband. And he's doing it in a room that
Speaker 2: looks like you're recently passed away his uncle's house. But anyway,
Speaker 2: but that's your let's just say this is your.
Speaker 1: His body's still on the floor. Uncle is decomposing slowly.
Speaker 10: You can look at a jewelry box, a jewelry box
Speaker 10: of this nature, maybe a simple jewelry box, but if
Speaker 10: you look through it closely, you don't know what your
Speaker 10: child may be hiding.
Speaker 2: For instance, a good know this isn't so good. A gun.
Speaker 2: Such a cop perspective on young people. It's like your
Speaker 2: child has a gun and is amer has gone all right,
Speaker 2: your child is an enemy combatant, yeah, who must be
Speaker 2: dealt with. But yeah, this is like a super cut.
Speaker 2: This music beat on it is really funny.
Speaker 10: Determine what's what's taking place behind a picture frame.
Speaker 2: You can find boom.
Speaker 10: You should always when your child bring in his popular knapsack,
Speaker 10: but many.
Speaker 2: His popular knapsack popular knapsack sport now.
Speaker 1: Being a popular brand different locations.
Speaker 10: Look through it to see what exactly is your child
Speaker 10: carrying in addition to a book, something simple as a
Speaker 10: crack pipe, something simple as a as a baby doll.
Speaker 10: Could be just a baby doll, but also it could
Speaker 10: be a place where you could secrete or hide drugs.
Speaker 2: He says, secrete police police adams.
Speaker 10: Run your hands over the pillows and see if you
Speaker 10: feel anything.
Speaker 6: That's unusual, like a pull like this with a button,
Speaker 6: the perfect.
Speaker 2: Don't do it.
Speaker 6: I've felt something bumpy.
Speaker 2: It's a gun. What it is? Just look a gun?
Speaker 1: It was another gun?
Speaker 2: An gun to side your bookcases.
Speaker 6: It could be more than just books. Perfect place to
Speaker 6: high a cocaine.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm sorry your child doesn't take off your child's hat.
Speaker 1: What's underneath it?
Speaker 2: A gun?
Speaker 1: Why don't you open up your kid's shoebox? What's inside
Speaker 1: the shoe box? Three guns? Yeah, now.
Speaker 2: Open up your child, open up your child's gun. What's
Speaker 2: inside of their a gun and a crack pipe.
Speaker 1: Tell your child on airplanes coming in his mouth open wide,
Speaker 1: what's in there? Fourteen guns are in your child's mouth?
Speaker 2: Ah? This is that wayeah? I mean again, how to
Speaker 2: treat your child like this is obviously someone who has
Speaker 2: no trust even within his own family. Like, it's so
Speaker 2: revealing that if you're like this is now, like I
Speaker 2: keep a safe home, I'd like I treat my children
Speaker 2: like inmates and I'm flipping their cell doing a bunk
Speaker 2: check real quick. Yeah. Great, great, great parenting advice and
Speaker 2: so relatable because something as simple as a crack pipe, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know. And also this must be for the people
Speaker 2: who are like wealthy, because I don't know kids who
Speaker 2: have cocaine money. But again, sure they might have a
Speaker 2: fucking half o of blow in their baby doll where
Speaker 2: it's secreting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're of an age that they're playing with a
Speaker 4: baby doll. And they also have three handguns and three
Speaker 4: ounces of cocaine.
Speaker 2: Okay, I do like that.
Speaker 4: They're responsible enough not to keep the gun loaded. The
Speaker 4: ammunition is kept behind bullet by bullet. Yeah, just loose.
Speaker 2: Lucy's everywhere lose.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like a bullet Easter egg hunt in their bedroom.
Speaker 2: Find the Lucy's, Find the Lucy's. It's also my other
Speaker 2: favorite one though, too, is when the when he basically
Speaker 2: unveiled the trash can on New York. He's like, now
Speaker 2: we have trash cans, and like people are like, wow,
Speaker 2: holy shit, And everyone was making fun of New York.
Speaker 2: They're like, oh my god, they just discovered the trash
Speaker 2: can in New York. God bless you. But there's like
Speaker 2: this moment where he's like dapping up this like white
Speaker 2: woman who's like the sanitation commissioner, and she didn't know
Speaker 2: what time it was. You didn't have to dap her up.
Speaker 2: She didn't know what to do. But again, just a
Speaker 2: very very funny moment of him being him. Yeah, he is.
Speaker 4: Him more than anyone else that I've ever seen. He
Speaker 4: is himself.
Speaker 2: He's been playing in New York. He's putting a garbage
Speaker 2: bag in there to demonstrate how the garbage can works, now.
Speaker 1: Filled with guns.
Speaker 2: That looked like when Donald Trump shook that dog snout
Speaker 2: or was that Mike Bloomberg who shook hands with a
Speaker 2: dog snout during an event? Anyway, That's what the very
Speaker 2: uncoordinated was yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it was fine
Speaker 2: to meet you. Yeah, he like was it, didn't He
Speaker 2: like grabbed a dog's snout at an event and just
Speaker 2: like shook the dog's mouth like it was.
Speaker 1: A human thing to do. Oh man, that dog's mouth
Speaker 1: a gun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you want to be mayor of New York,
Speaker 2: you cannot know how to shake anything's hand at all. Well, yeah,
Speaker 2: you don't remember this. I'm so excited for this, Like, oh,
Speaker 2: here's this dog. Hey, nice to meet you. Oh that sucks.
Speaker 2: Just grab the dog's open mouth and shake demandable. All right,
Speaker 2: there you go, you tube pal, meet you. Welcome to
Speaker 2: you two asshole. You can find anything to get too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of the great things about New York,
Speaker 1: got it?
Speaker 4: And that is one of the top three things first
Speaker 4: nine to eleven can happen any second, Shake any dog's head.
Speaker 1: A dog's head is basically a human hand, as I've
Speaker 1: read many books I've read.
Speaker 2: Also, just I mean, even though we talked about that
Speaker 2: the ship that he's on the hook for alleged to
Speaker 2: have done just like so many fucking bribes, like it'll
Speaker 2: make your head, so many bribes from like from foreign
Speaker 2: country Turkey. It was Bekistan, China, fucking everybody like, why
Speaker 2: are you doing this? Why are you even talking to
Speaker 2: these people?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Because they because like you know, he getting like free
Speaker 2: trips to Turkey, like I think it was Israel, cutters,
Speaker 2: South Korea. There's the list, like what goes on and
Speaker 2: on and on, and then not to mention like the
Speaker 2: revolving door of like resignations that had happened recently only
Speaker 2: for people like the replacements for those people who who
Speaker 2: had resigned to also get into legal trouble. Yeah, really
Speaker 2: wonderful thing they have going on.
