Speaker 1: mature her away. Just because they lost one game doesn't
Speaker 1: mean all the nice memories from along the webs are invalidated. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the real super Bowl ring is the friends we made
Speaker 1: along the way, agree, and it's it's a ring of friendship.
Speaker 1: And we're all holding hands around one one holding call
Speaker 1: just because Yeah, it doesn't mean you can't eat the

Speaker 1: What did horses go away just because we lost the
Speaker 1: super Bowl? They're still around, They're still exactly on our streets,
Speaker 1: and someone has to do something about this. It's true,
Speaker 1: losing the super Bowl does not make the horse poopoo
Speaker 1: any less delicious. So I yeah, back more. Alright, Blake, Matt,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to know you a little bit better
Speaker 1: in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
Speaker 1: couple of things we're talking about today. We're gonna check
Speaker 1: in with what's going on over at Twitter, Twitter dot com.
Speaker 1: If you've even been to that website, gentleman by the
Speaker 1: name of it, ell On Musk recently purchased it. Epic
Speaker 1: Bacon Sir appears to be Epic Bacon ng sir, the whole,
Speaker 1: the whole damn thing, demanding that people juice his tweets
Speaker 1: or risk being fired is the word around the Twitter
Speaker 1: camp fire. He's like the Twilight Zone episode with a
Speaker 1: little kid who's eating the chocolate sandwiches, and he's sending
Speaker 1: people back out in the cordfield like he's just he
Speaker 1: really gets to do what he wants. Yeah, whatever he wants.
Speaker 1: And then additionally he's using that status as owner of
Speaker 1: Twitter dot com to shadow band the union that's trying
Speaker 1: to unionize in Buffalo, the Test League union. And then
Speaker 1: there's also just even more information, just more a real
Speaker 1: it's raining ship on Elon Musk portion of the news
Speaker 1: cycle that we're going to glory in. Yeah, so we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about that. We're gonna talk about There's there's
Speaker 1: another movie coming out that's about like a the birth
Speaker 1: of a popular brand, were like a successful business thing.
Speaker 1: Because we talked last week or the week before about Air,
Speaker 1: the new movie, not about Michael Jordan's, but about the
Speaker 1: invention of the air Jordan's where like the protagonist, the
Speaker 1: heroes are like the people who are like this guy
Speaker 1: is good at basketball. We should we should, we should
Speaker 1: find a way to capitalize on that and make ourselves rich.
Speaker 1: Directed by Ben Affleck, Yeah, yeah, directed by Ben Affleck,
Speaker 1: starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. And I was excited
Speaker 1: about that movie when if but when the trailer came out,
Speaker 1: I was like, hell yeah, dude, love Air Jordan's And
Speaker 1: maybe there's a critique there too, because I feel like
Speaker 1: those guys are like on the low kind of not
Speaker 1: pieces of ship in a way, like yeah, yeah, totally,
Speaker 1: maybe there will be a there's gotta be. There's gotta
Speaker 1: be there's a new one though about the not even
Speaker 1: the invention of Tetris, but like somebody going to Russia
Speaker 1: to buy the rights to Tetris seems to be the story,
Speaker 1: and like it sounds like a radio lab. Yeah it really,
Speaker 1: it does seem like a radio I'm sure it was
Speaker 1: a radio lab at some point. And so we're just
Speaker 1: gonna talk about this new trend where you know, our greatest,
Speaker 1: most respected, most beloved Americans A K Brands corporations are
Speaker 1: like the protagonists of our films, except like I mean,
Speaker 1: like Shakespeare wrote about the royals, and these are our royalists.
Speaker 1: The logical conclusion of the system of capitalism we've set
Speaker 1: up here from the Nibisco movie, the invention of the
Speaker 1: Pillsbury dope boy exactly. Yeah, just like some sweaty ad exacts.
Speaker 1: He was bred. Actually he was being b r easy
Speaker 1: to be hard. Oh no, I can't wait for the
Speaker 1: future biopic of the brand executive who privatized the Sun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know exactly. And then there's the new Winnie the
Speaker 1: Pooh horror movie that is out and apparently it's not good.
Speaker 1: It's not good. Why would they do that. This is
Speaker 1: a new trend that seems to be happening because people
Speaker 1: need I P and they need to also make a Yeah.
Speaker 1: I P is coming off the books. Baby Mickey Mouse,
Speaker 1: if you've ever heard of that character, is coming off
Speaker 1: the books next year. Lobeful full name is Michelobe Mouse,
Speaker 1: and that is what we're all going to learn in
Speaker 1: the biopic mk Ultra Mouse. Michaelob Ultra is long for
Speaker 1: m k Ultra. Yeah, so all of that that and
Speaker 1: that is mk ultra. Uh, mikhaelo Ultra does brainwash you.
Speaker 1: And it is five calories, so it's not the calories
Speaker 1: are so low yea, yeah, you'll be thin. Well, you
Speaker 1: are jumping out of a k being thrown out of
Speaker 1: a New York hotel window. Hey, it happens a little
Speaker 1: Wormwood reference for everybody who cut that docu series before
Speaker 1: we get to any of that ship Blake. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: that stuff all sounds fun, But before we get to
Speaker 1: any of that bullshit. If we get to it, let's
Speaker 1: take a chance on this segment. Let's let's give it
Speaker 1: that's right and ask you what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history that's revealing about who you are. I'm happy
Speaker 1: to test the format of this show with you right
Speaker 1: now and right now. So I was searching brown boots,
Speaker 1: black outfit because I was trying to match a pair
Speaker 1: of boots to an outfit. And I've heard that there's
Speaker 1: rules about you can't wear black with blue or brown
Speaker 1: with black, and I was reading some fashion websites and essentially,
Speaker 1: you can wear whatever the funk you want. It really
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Yeah, it turns out, Yeah, it turns out
Speaker 1: that if you have any self esteem whatsoever, you can
Speaker 1: put on clothes and not Google. What about those of
Speaker 1: us who don't, who just need our shoes to exactly
Speaker 1: match our outfits, because we I wear Gene shoes with
Speaker 1: my jean pants. Smart, that's smart. Any denim coverage there
Speaker 1: are like denim Jordan's aren't there? Yeah? Do you there
Speaker 1: is a Jordan's. As we call them the Lennos collap.
Speaker 1: I like to pretend they're a collab with Jay Lens,
Speaker 1: but they're actually a collap between Levies and the Air Jordan's.
Speaker 1: And they are I like the way they look. They
Speaker 1: are heavy shoes. They are the heaviest. Yeah, they're like
Speaker 1: a cream denim. Are they extra hocked? They sound hocked.
Speaker 1: They don't know that. I don't know that I've noticed
Speaker 1: the temperature so much as the fact that they feel
Speaker 1: like they if you've ever warned, like stepped in a
Speaker 1: puddle and your shoe is wet and just you know,
Speaker 1: leaden feels very heavy. Like that's how heavy they are,
Speaker 1: because denim is not a light thing. And they all
Speaker 1: layered that ship on. It's weird. They make up basketball
Speaker 1: shoe Yeah, yeah, you can't. You can't stand on a
Speaker 1: basketball court with these shoes on there. There will just
Speaker 1: be footprints in the in the hardwood. So strange. I
Speaker 1: love it though, they well we have to have brand synergy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they sound cool. I like that their cream color. That's
Speaker 1: that sounds like they would go with a lot as well.
Speaker 1: I couldn't runt this problem that I have right now
Speaker 1: with my brown ass boots boots. Yeah, brown boots, black outfit.
Speaker 1: So you're there was a time bomb. I thought that's
Speaker 1: what we were singing at first. I don't know what
Speaker 1: that was. But is that like your brain was misfiring?
Speaker 1: That was the song time bond? In another Huh, that's
Speaker 1: a great song. So are you Are you going with
Speaker 1: the impression of somebody who has a self esteem and
Speaker 1: just doing brown boots, black outfit? No, no, no, no, no no,
Speaker 1: I'm bailing on the whole fucking thing. Actually, So I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna go to the event. Yeah I'm not. I'm
Speaker 1: not going. I'm gonna stay leaving my house exactly. I'm
Speaker 1: coming with options. But yeah, no, it's gonna be Uh. So,
Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to shoot my first special this week,
Speaker 1: so I've been trying to pick out now thank you
Speaker 1: and in Cincinnati, Ohio from February twenty six. But I'm like,
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna wear a brown boot, maroon pant,
Speaker 1: and a royal blue jacket is what I'll be wearing.
Speaker 1: So and that's why you should tune in for my outfit.
Speaker 1: See how my fucking neglige bole body, can you do
Speaker 1: a spin when you're while you're on stage, just so
Speaker 1: people can see the full thing exactly? So when I perform,
Speaker 1: I make every venue in the round by I just
Speaker 1: I stand on a lazy Susan And and I don't
Speaker 1: even like that term that Susan puts in a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of locriminatory against Susan. Yeah, I could not agree,
Speaker 1: and Sue really put So I do spin in place
Speaker 1: throughout the entire thing. And it's a six minute set,
Speaker 1: and I closed vomiting on my boots. It's my big closer.
Speaker 1: Now they're cream color now there because I drink milk,
Speaker 1: straight milk. You've gotten you're on the Mussolini diet, right,
Speaker 1: just nothing? Yeah? Yeah, was he a milkhead? I think
Speaker 1: he was a super milk head, and like wouldn't wouldn't
Speaker 1: imbibe anything that wasn't the color white. If I if
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, you're telling me this guy was a fascist. Weird, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this mama's boy fascist and my have been confusing him
Speaker 1: with a different fascists. But I think that's a shame.
Speaker 1: Mustlan did not indulge in his country's revered cuisine. He
Speaker 1: rarely ate pasta and meat and called French food useless.
Speaker 1: His favorite food was a salad made of raw garlic
Speaker 1: and olive oil that is actually super Italian. And I
Speaker 1: feel like, at first I was gonna be like, is
Speaker 1: he even Italian? But he's just straight eating straight garlic.
Speaker 1: His wife thought it made him smell unbearable. Is how
Speaker 1: this little like google paragraph ends. They're like it really
Speaker 1: ruined his great personality. They the stench of his garlic.
Speaker 1: People would have given him more of a shot if
Speaker 1: and he just didn't eat raw garlic all day. It's
Speaker 1: just sickos, just in every aspect of their life, are
Speaker 1: just a total fucking lunatic. This guy where yeah, it's
Speaker 1: not like he ate a balanced breakfast that would that
Speaker 1: you could relate over. Of course, this man ate raw garlic.
Speaker 1: It's insane too, because you're like thinking, like, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna eat some fun pasta and some pizza
Speaker 1: just because I'm an Italian. I'm just gonna eat these
Speaker 1: cloths straight cloves of garlic. It's like, come on, man,
Speaker 1: this feels racist against yourself. Yeah, Blake, but it's something
Speaker 1: that you think is under or overrated I don't give
Speaker 1: a ship which one you start with. You don't care
Speaker 1: deal of choice, man, I'm all right, let me find
Speaker 1: my bready nice flip for situations such as this, I'll
Speaker 1: go and it's heads, which means overrated windbreakers. I think
Speaker 1: an overrated article of clothing and sounds powerful as hell.
Speaker 1: The name that they went with windbreaker. It was a windbreaker.
Speaker 1: If you catch like, thank you, sorry, I appreciate that
Speaker 1: I have here. No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I'm
Speaker 1: not there with you to laugh in person. What you
Speaker 1: just did. What you just did, that's bread. I love
Speaker 1: that ship of wind breakers. The jacket because it's a
Speaker 1: piece of clothing that kind of has not evolved with
Speaker 1: the times where there's no shape to it. It's you're
Speaker 1: it's an amorphous shape, and they look like their water proof,
Speaker 1: which a rain jacket is off. Can often break the
Speaker 1: wind as well, but it actually has a function. Lots
Speaker 1: of things can break the wind, thank you exactly, So
Speaker 1: you could just wear a nice warm coat. Just the
Speaker 1: breaking of wind doesn't seem like it is important enough
Speaker 1: of a function to have that be The soul can't
Speaker 1: be a singular function. I completely completely agree. There's no,
Speaker 1: because if here's the thing, if the wind isn't cold,
Speaker 1: not a not a problem, don't need a wind breaker.
Speaker 1: You're just dealing with wind. That's wind. But if you are,
Speaker 1: if you are in need of breaking the wind from
Speaker 1: your body, you're usually also in need of some you know, layering,
Speaker 1: a little bit of a little bit of more. Yes,
Speaker 1: so you're just just an extra layer where you could
Speaker 1: just consolidate into one layer of a yeah, but you
Speaker 1: also do you're so mad right now, I'm so angry.
Speaker 1: You can also make the little switch he noises though.
Speaker 1: That's what that's my favorite thing about a wind breaker
Speaker 1: is like doing the the arms. You know, no, the
Speaker 1: no friction. But it's like, yeah, it's nice to be
Speaker 1: the loudest walker possible and the wind breaker. In the
Speaker 1: nineties when it was popular windbreakers, you actually crime plummeted
Speaker 1: because you could just hear half away. Now you hear
Speaker 1: that sound, you're like, oh, ship simbats coming, He's the
Speaker 1: only guy still windbreaking, that's right. What is something you
Speaker 1: think is underrated? Blake an early dinner six pm gives
Speaker 1: you options for the rest of the evening if you
Speaker 1: would like to go to grab drinks afterwards, you'll still
Speaker 1: be home in time to hydrate and mitigate, you know,
Speaker 1: any hangover that could be possible the following day. And
Speaker 1: I've sweat the bed. If I eat too late and
Speaker 1: you wet the bed with it, let's let's let's throw
Speaker 1: a s w E A T there whatever. I wet
Speaker 1: the bed with sweat. That's what it is. It's a
Speaker 1: different type of bed wedding, but it counts. It does
Speaker 1: count it. It falls under the same stigma, unfortunately. But yeah,
Speaker 1: if I eat too late, and now it gets it
Speaker 1: gets earlier and earlier as I get older and older.
Speaker 1: After eight pm, it's it's a hold on you swell
Speaker 1: the floor. Do you yield your time to do okay?
Speaker 1: Heels your time? Okay? You sweat the bed if you
Speaker 1: eat too late. M hm. You know for certain that
Speaker 1: that's the reason you're sweating the bed. Yeah. So I
Speaker 1: have luckily have had some time on my hands and
Speaker 1: have experimented with or kept track mentally of okay, I
Speaker 1: ate at this time tonight and kept everything else the same,
Speaker 1: in the same covers, the same pajama situation. And every
Speaker 1: single time I eat early, no whatsoever, and you're going
Speaker 1: to bed at the same time. Excuse me, you controlled
Speaker 1: for a lot of things, but not for like what
Speaker 1: time you went to bed, not for the not for
Speaker 1: the main thing. Uh No, I did not control for that.
Speaker 1: But that's interesting. I'm wondering, and I'm not being combative here,
Speaker 1: I assure you, but I'm wondering, would that make a difference.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I've just figured since
Speaker 1: you were controlling for all those other things, No, I
Speaker 1: bet it, since I put all the work it I
Speaker 1: that's a good question because if I went to bed later,
Speaker 1: that would give me theoretically a earlier dinner, right right exactly,
Speaker 1: So that like if if that to me, that would
Speaker 1: be the final factor where you're like, you know, if
Speaker 1: I eat two hours before bed, I will sweat. If
Speaker 1: I eat four hours before bed, I will not sweat.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. So it sounds like a meat left on
Speaker 1: that experiment. Bone. Yeah, come back to uh yeah, come
Speaker 1: back to us on this is fascinating. I've also been
Speaker 1: wearing a lab coat to bed. I think that might
Speaker 1: also be why. But yeah, you're you're also wearing the
Speaker 1: rubber suit to bed on certain occasions. You also controlled
Speaker 1: for the temperature in your in your bedroom. Of course
Speaker 1: that is correct that I'm sorry, yeah, I'm sorry. The
Speaker 1: temperature struggling. Yes, I mixed up celsius and fahrenheit on
Speaker 1: an alternative basis. Oh Man, all right, let's hear your
Speaker 1: quick break. We'll be right back and we're back. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: oh Man walked away for for a moment. It was
Speaker 1: recording and all hell broke loose. We're fighting back with
Speaker 1: each other. We're doing slurs against mostly Italians. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's specifically the people who work at Italy Italians, the Italians. Alright,
Speaker 1: Twitter dot com, let's talk about it. It's a website,
Speaker 1: pretty big and Elon must bought it. And earlier last
Speaker 1: week there was a report claiming the Musk ordered Twitter
Speaker 1: engineers to ring the platform to quote juice his tweets
Speaker 1: or risk being fired. There was some good texture in
Speaker 1: the story where he like brought these people to a
Speaker 1: meeting and was like, why is this? Why am I
Speaker 1: not seeing the same engagement that I used to? And
Speaker 1: they were essentially like, I think people are fucking bored
Speaker 1: of you dominated the conversation and aren't that interesting? And
Speaker 1: he was like, you're fired. You like substance and you
Speaker 1: were just taking advantage of them and making their lives worse.
Speaker 1: His test run of this new super boosting tech was
Speaker 1: his tweet quote supporting the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: And that's fine, that's not Blake. This must have been
Speaker 1: huge for you. This was really big for you. And
Speaker 1: you know, I was on I loved Emon Musk before this,
Speaker 1: and then the fact that he was, you know, pandering
Speaker 1: to me and me alone with this tweet. I I
Speaker 1: engaged with it. I liked it, I retweeted it, I
Speaker 1: shared it, I texted it around. It was a fine tweet.
Speaker 1: I printed it out, I made I got a tattoo
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, I got its hat on my on
Speaker 1: my left plumper and yeah, I'm still looking for a
Speaker 1: retail space on the right one. It's he really he
Speaker 1: deleted it. He deleted that tweet after they lost, right,
Speaker 1: isn't that he doesn't He just like doesn't know who's
Speaker 1: there's an artist who like had face blindness, and like,
Speaker 1: I think Chuck Close is his name, and like, but
Speaker 1: so he used the fact that he was face blind
Speaker 1: to them like paint people's faces like because he like
Speaker 1: understood it from a weird he didn't understand faces so
Speaker 1: much that he like had to like break them down
Speaker 1: like their component parts. And I feel like Elon Musk
Speaker 1: purchasing Twitter is like something like that where he seems
Speaker 1: to be like remarkably incapable of understanding like why people
Speaker 1: come to twee it or people like about tweets, which
Speaker 1: is it's it's so funny because it's like, bro, no,
Speaker 1: that is part of it. It's like he just doesn't
Speaker 1: understand why, Like he needs to learn, he needs to
Speaker 1: go inside the gears to see why. Biden voice, I
Speaker 1: got all up in that bussy Jack got a million
Speaker 1: fucking reed tweets, Like he doesn't understand. He's like, I
Speaker 1: don't understand this. Why why sitting there puzzling over just
Speaker 1: staring at that tweet as it like gains likes and
Speaker 1: hearts just getting more and more, just baffled and irritated.
Speaker 1: Jack was Chuck Close? Was that the name of the artist?
Speaker 1: I think that was that? The one who is the
Speaker 1: gender neutral version of Chuck Closterman Or Am I thinking
Speaker 1: of something else? No? Yeah, I think you might be
Speaker 1: thinking of something else And I'm sorry I think it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is it's Chuck Close. He was an artist. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was a portrait artist who is FACEBOYD didn't like
Speaker 1: driven to faces by not because he didn't understand them
Speaker 1: and was like fascinated by that interesting. He was great.
Speaker 1: He like worked at it as a craft his whole life,
Speaker 1: and like his portraits are super interesting. The Elon Musk
Speaker 1: does not like he just decided to buy a thing
Speaker 1: and kill it. Like his version of painting the portrait
Speaker 1: is to like yeah and like dissect it until it's dead.
Speaker 1: So anyways, he came through said the quote source of
Speaker 1: the bogus platform or article is a disc gruntled employee
Speaker 1: who had been on paid time off for months, had
Speaker 1: already accepted a job at Google and felt the need
Speaker 1: to poison the well on the way out. Twitter will
Speaker 1: be taking legal action against him, and the journalists said
Speaker 1: this is completely false reporting. So every Twitter employee is disgruntled,
Speaker 1: every former or current, they're all disgruntled because they work
Speaker 1: for this fucking idiot. There's not a single grunt old
Speaker 1: employee in the entire like Twitter office. And it's like
Speaker 1: even the people like came in and like, yes, thank
Speaker 1: you serve for liberating us from the transagenda, Like all
Speaker 1: those people are now just like this guy fucking sucks.
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of great to see. And I also
Speaker 1: the more Twitter goes down and crashes, the more I'm
Speaker 1: just like this is this is just fantastic. I I
Speaker 1: actually I'm enjoying watching it burn because because it's like
Speaker 1: Twitter is like an inherently bad place, and it should
Speaker 1: it should go down in flames, you know. And I
Speaker 1: nothing makes me more like fills me with more Scheidenfreuda
Speaker 1: than someone who is actively trying to understand it, like
Speaker 1: ending up breaking the whole thing and he's going to
Speaker 1: pretend like it was this plan all along, but we
Speaker 1: all know it wasn't. Yeah. I wish he didn't break
Speaker 1: Twitter like I like to fail. I wish I do
Speaker 1: this thing. Yeah, you bought it, you break it? Is
Speaker 1: he thought that that was the just or the directions.
Speaker 1: He's going to tweet that when he sets this final
Speaker 1: servers on fire, you under well, someone will tweet that
Speaker 1: and then he will steal that, and that's right, it's
Speaker 1: his own and perfect just glory and the fact that
Speaker 1: his his followers are doing the crying, laughing the worst
Speaker 1: thing that he did, in my opinion with regards to
Speaker 1: buying Twitter was create this the four you tab. The
Speaker 1: four you tab is probably one of the most insane
Speaker 1: ideas that he has had on here, because I did
Speaker 1: he invented. I thought I've had a four you tab
Speaker 1: for since before he No, no, no, he he had.
Speaker 1: There was used to just be one timeline and then
Speaker 1: it was just one feed and it was a mixture
Speaker 1: of people you follow and people who resweet and and
Speaker 1: comment that, you know, the stuff that's trending has had
Speaker 1: a for you versus trending exactly. Yeah, there was there
Speaker 1: was one that was for you, and there was one
Speaker 1: that was following, so uh or sorry, there's now one
Speaker 1: that's for you and one that's following. And basically the
Speaker 1: entire purpose of the for you tab that he was
Speaker 1: that he created was so that he could just push
Speaker 1: a bunch of like libertarian podcast or voices that fucking
Speaker 1: suck and just to just to like get people to
Speaker 1: see both sides, you know, the the you know, intellectual
Speaker 1: diversity of opinions. You know, like sometimes you want to
Speaker 1: hear both sides of the argument of like should trans
Speaker 1: people live or like our Jews people, or do black
Speaker 1: lives matter? Like I need to know what everyone the
Speaker 1: other side exactly. So anyways, he's also using this in
Speaker 1: ways that are actually presumably fairly powerful, such as Tesla
Speaker 1: workers in Buffalo, who are launching a unionization effort have
Speaker 1: accused Twitter of shadow banning the union Twitter account, of course,
Speaker 1: because he has like given uh platform to so many
Speaker 1: right wing libertarian voices, being like, I've been shadow band.
Speaker 1: Nobody like the shadow ban me, and I only get
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand likes instead of the two million that
Speaker 1: I deserve, So like that, it's frustrating that they've ruined that.
Speaker 1: But he appears to have legitimately shadow band the union
Speaker 1: Twitter account in the in the sense that it doesn't
Speaker 1: appear in Twitter search function if you type out either
Speaker 1: the accounts handle or display name. So like you just
Speaker 1: that that is what a shadow I mean, that's not
Speaker 1: a shadow band so much as a just that that
Speaker 1: should have been. That's a band. Yeah, that's a band
Speaker 1: that doesn't the dy the official notification. There's no bigger
Speaker 1: bitch baby than a social media you know, right wing
Speaker 1: conservative person, because bro, you're already like that's already the
Speaker 1: engagement cheap code is your whack ass opinions, Like, like
Speaker 1: you will see just any number of like the first
Speaker 1: time you've ever seen some person with a million followers,
Speaker 1: and all all they do is like having an angry
Speaker 1: face and an American flag fucking you know emoji, and
Speaker 1: they're just saying the same knee jerk opinions that you'll
Speaker 1: find on any fucking like conservative website, and they're fucking
Speaker 1: it's huge. They're all huge, and you're like, this is
Speaker 1: already the cheap code. You can't complain about engagement when
Speaker 1: you're already making the fucking easiest career decision you've ever
Speaker 1: made in your fucking life. I just said, I can't
Speaker 1: stand it. I wish I had no shame. Guys, Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh I would go. I would go for that fucking
Speaker 1: magat tits so hard, suck all the milk out of it.
Speaker 1: You can muzzle need a funk out of that magot tit.
Speaker 1: And it's the most of setting sentence I've ever said.
Speaker 1: I think I just took six years off my God, damn,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna die at fifty six now saying you're definitely
Speaker 1: gonna be sweating tonight. You have three in the crosshairs.
Speaker 1: Before I was really shooting for sixty three and until
Speaker 1: I used muzzlin need as a verb for a tit
Speaker 1: belonging to maga and sucking it out of it. Specific
Speaker 1: it's like a fun you to Paul McCartney specifically, I'll
Speaker 1: never be sixty four. Also, he fired like a bunch
Speaker 1: of the workers once they publicized that they were going
Speaker 1: to unionize. Barely twenty four hours after declaring their intention
Speaker 1: to unionize, a bunch of them were fired, which is illegal,
Speaker 1: and then by Thursday that number grown to thirty seven.
Speaker 1: They're just yeah, doing illegal ship. These are the sorts
Speaker 1: of things that the government needs to be able to
Speaker 1: step in on. But we've spent the last our entire
Speaker 1: lifetimes just thinking deregulation was a cool thing. So all
Speaker 1: regulations are out the window when it comes to billionaires.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure he's gonna find a way to for
Speaker 1: this to just be a nominal slap on the wrist
Speaker 1: that he doesn't have to worry about when it comes
Speaker 1: to how he conducts his business, which puts us in
Speaker 1: a very bad position as a civilization. I'm I'm literally
Speaker 1: I will vote for any president who's like, if you're
Speaker 1: a dick and you're a billionaire, I'm just gonna take
Speaker 1: your money. Yeah, I will vote for any president who
Speaker 1: just goes. I will nationalize your bank account. Yeah, nationalized
Speaker 1: the and and like so. The other thing. The other
Speaker 1: way that the news cycle was reigning ship on Ela
Speaker 1: Musk was, of course, Tesla's thousand Tesla car is being
Speaker 1: recalled because the self driving software was like causing speed
Speaker 1: limits or travel through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable manner,
Speaker 1: which I'm sorry, you have to take your car back, Jack.
Speaker 1: That sucks. Hey, they're actually really like cool, they have
Speaker 1: good design. Now they have the trunks in the front.
Speaker 1: I don't understand. I don't understand why everyone's talking ship
Speaker 1: on these cars. The trunk is in the front. Sorry,
Speaker 1: do you understand how revolutionary that is? Trunk is in
Speaker 1: the fucking front. You go in the back, you'll find nothing.
Speaker 1: So they traveling through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable
Speaker 1: manner is pretty Yeah, that's a red when it comes
Speaker 1: to when it comes to if that was one of
Speaker 1: the negative comments on an Uber driver that I was
Speaker 1: about to get in the car with like really cool,
Speaker 1: Like it looks cool. Unfortunately, he has been known to
Speaker 1: travel through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable manner. I'd
Speaker 1: be like, that's a deal breaker. Lad. If I had
Speaker 1: a note for Gary as a driver, I prefer more
Speaker 1: predictability from him when in intersections. Yeah, I like through intersections, uh,
Speaker 1: and more lawfulness, Like I like that he's cool and
Speaker 1: kind of a bad boy, but I do, I do
Speaker 1: appreciate lawfulness when it comes to the approach and transit
Speaker 1: through an intersection. It's the tax fraud he's committing when
Speaker 1: he's going through these intersections that I tried to be
Speaker 1: so disconcerting. Yeah, I know the driving is fine, but
Speaker 1: he's torrenting movies and that is, if I'm not mistaken, unlawful.
Speaker 1: That's stealing money from the mouths of movie producers an artists,
Speaker 1: probably metallic in some way. Goddamn, right, Jack, sound occurring
Speaker 1: to me? That did just happen? Yeah, when you talk
Speaker 1: about nationalizing their wealth, like nationalize these fucking companies that
Speaker 1: nobody like, we cannot have things that are as complicated
Speaker 1: as self driving cars be in the hands of billionaires
Speaker 1: who already are telling you, like, we don't follow the rules.
Speaker 1: There's a little bit of a bad boy when it
Speaker 1: comes to how we operate around here, and we are
Speaker 1: going to be programming your car to travel through intersections
Speaker 1: in creative ways. It's it's just it's not gonna work.
Speaker 1: Like I I really think the time has come for
Speaker 1: a presidential candidate to be like, we gotta nationalize this ship.
Speaker 1: We gotta nationalize the like Facebook, we gotta nationalized like
Speaker 1: self driving cars, Like it's that's ever going to be
Speaker 1: a thing. Like you need to work with the government,
Speaker 1: not against it to try and like hide your ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I'm from a practical standpoint, Yeah, for sure,
Speaker 1: But I also will vote for a president who's just
Speaker 1: like out of spite, I am going to steal your money.
Speaker 1: Elon Musk specifically, I'm ready for this. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: think I think the popular sentiment is there for that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, it is now there. It is now, thank you.
Speaker 1: Let's take another break and we'll talk about something else
Speaker 1: that The public sentiment is here for the upcoming Tetris movie.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, and we're back. And the trailer for Tetris
Speaker 1: just came out. I had heard that they were making
Speaker 1: a Tetris movie. I could not fathom what that was
Speaker 1: going to be. The w If I had to like
Speaker 1: guess that someone was like pitching a Tetris movie, my
Speaker 1: guess would be it's set in Russia and nineteen and
Speaker 1: you know the obviously the fucking you know they're dealing with,
Speaker 1: like the fall of Communism is about to have. They
Speaker 1: know the Soviet Union is going to go down. But
Speaker 1: then from the sky blocks slowly start coming down and
Speaker 1: they're like first, yeah, at first, and then they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: ship momentum, Yeah, we gotta find a perfect spot for
Speaker 1: them blocks. Yeah, that's my and that's the cliffhanger. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they find him. What was your favorite block in the
Speaker 1: Tetris universe? Because there's flat there's flat Boy, who is
Speaker 1: just a total fat well. Flat Boy was the most
Speaker 1: badass one because you always set your ship up for
Speaker 1: flat Boy exactly if you can just get that Flatboy
Speaker 1: in that what a feeling that to me, that was
Speaker 1: the first time I fucked. Yeah, the sexual like undertoe
Speaker 1: was this conversation telling a lot to me about like
Speaker 1: why I was so into Flatboy. Yeah, you put that
Speaker 1: Flatboy like right in that crevice and you're yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the whole thing goes all at once. Yeah yeah, And
Speaker 1: that's like kind of how I've organized my life since then.
Speaker 1: It's like just like build up a bunch of ships
Speaker 1: and then like hope for a big payoff, it all
Speaker 1: comes together at the last second, Oh no, the flatboy
Speaker 1: didn't come. Just waiting for that flat, just piles and
Speaker 1: piles of oh no, where's the flat by. My whole
Speaker 1: professional career as well, has been put backing myself into
Speaker 1: a corner and praying that something a one out of
Speaker 1: a million chance would happen will happen, and so far
Speaker 1: not so good. Flat boys many a washed up comedian
Speaker 1: is sitting on a park bench that they live on
Speaker 1: right now, go ahead, and I just never got a flatboy?
Speaker 1: Did that flat? Someday my flat will come. So it
Speaker 1: sounds like it has less in common with that pitch
Speaker 1: you just made I feel like that. That was also
Speaker 1: kind of what they went with for like battleship. I
Speaker 1: think they were like, Okay, so we gotta do battleship.
Speaker 1: Let's aliens come and you gotta like sink them by
Speaker 1: guessing with the with our battleships. There's that also had
Speaker 1: yeah swinging a mixed yeah. Some people liked it something.
Speaker 1: So this is more. This is more in common with
Speaker 1: Argo and the new Air Jordan movie, where it's like
Speaker 1: international affles directing it. Well, Ben Affleck, it is is
Speaker 1: directing the Air Jordan's Invention movie, and they wish Ben
Speaker 1: Affleck was directing this because it does feel like they
Speaker 1: were like what if Argo where the stakes were game Boy? Yeah,
Speaker 1: instead of of freeing hostages the stakes where you get
Speaker 1: to play Tetris on the game Boy. It's not about
Speaker 1: the Russian inventor of the game so much as it
Speaker 1: is about the Dutch video game designer who bought it
Speaker 1: and introduced it to Western audiences. He has to like
Speaker 1: travel behind the Iron Curtain in order to like get
Speaker 1: so get the rights to the theme to their national anthem,
Speaker 1: because isn't that their national anthem that's playing in the
Speaker 1: in the then then and then and then and and
Speaker 1: then and that then that that I thought that was.
Speaker 1: I thought that was a Russian national anthem. You can
Speaker 1: see that very easy, highly possible and starts speeding up
Speaker 1: at which taught us to, you know, I just got
Speaker 1: a gun to the audience past. You'll never get a
Speaker 1: flat boy. Yeah, yeah, Actually the Russian version that there
Speaker 1: is no flat boys. Yeah, they're all equally sized, ye all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's the story of like him basically licensing Tetris
Speaker 1: seems to be the sound. Yeah. I like that. I
Speaker 1: like contract law and it reminds me of this like
Speaker 1: analysis that Malcolm Gladwell, my king, the only person who
Speaker 1: I go to when it comes to intellectual discourse recommendation
Speaker 1: on private jets to take. Yeah, he was on the
Speaker 1: low lead express plight logs, but he did do he
Speaker 1: did do a story about like he he likes to
Speaker 1: read those CEO biographies and he's like, when you actually
Speaker 1: look at how they tell the story, it's like this
Speaker 1: heroic singular CEO's heroes journey through like the heart of
Speaker 1: darkness to like everybody tells me can't do it, and
Speaker 1: it's only his idea and like he you know, triumphs
Speaker 1: over evil too, increased shareholder value or whatever the funk,
Speaker 1: And like when you actually look at what they do,
Speaker 1: it's just, you know, like a series of very mundane
Speaker 1: and predatory decisions that they make. They find one thing
Speaker 1: that they can exploit and then exploit it over and
Speaker 1: over and over again until they're billionaires. It's just like
Speaker 1: very wrote and mechanical and like uninteresting, but they find ways,
Speaker 1: like there's a whole section of your local bookstore that
Speaker 1: is these retcond stories that like turn the narrative of
Speaker 1: how this person built unnatural, immoral amount of wealth, like
Speaker 1: it turned it into like a hero's journey. And that's
Speaker 1: what this sounds like. Like the guy did have to
Speaker 1: go back like make friends with the inventor of Tetris
Speaker 1: and you know, get get interrogated by some Soviet diplomats.
Speaker 1: But in the end they were like, we kind of
Speaker 1: like this guy, well, will let him have the have
Speaker 1: the rights because that's how business worked, And they're turning
Speaker 1: it into like this spy thriller where he like steals it.
Speaker 1: You know, I imagine because there's sometimes there's a premise
Speaker 1: so boring that you're like, well, if they're making it,
Speaker 1: it's got to be good, right, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: because there's not the only thing that's holding it together
Speaker 1: at this point is the i P of Tetris, which
Speaker 1: they I mean, maybe we live in that world now
Speaker 1: where that alone is enough to sell the movie, but
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that it's not like really good, like
Speaker 1: at least as a script, like it's like, oh no,
Speaker 1: this is a fun thing because we're missing something. We're
Speaker 1: missing because there's definitely something there. There's no way it
Speaker 1: can't be that. It sounds it sounds so boring. Dog.
Speaker 1: I mean I would say that about like movies, where
Speaker 1: are the thing is getting made with no I p attached?
Speaker 1: But like this, I feel like probably like there's been
Speaker 1: rumors of a Tetris movie for a number of years,
Speaker 1: and like I I feel like the assignment came before
Speaker 1: the before this premise, like they were like all Tetris
Speaker 1: is a thing that everybody cared about. That Like, I've
Speaker 1: never been so aware that my brain was being rewired
Speaker 1: as I was, Like, I don't know what it did
Speaker 1: to it, but like when I would play Tetris on
Speaker 1: the game Boy and then like close my eyes hours
Speaker 1: later and I would see tetrists and I would play
Speaker 1: Tetris in my head and I'd be like, this can't
Speaker 1: be healthy. I have other thoughts, hungry, Yeah, like the
Speaker 1: it's that being on a boat and skiing are the
Speaker 1: only things that have ever like rewired things so much
Speaker 1: that like I closed my eyes and I can't undo
Speaker 1: whatever that did to my brain. Yeah, No, it's but
Speaker 1: but the thing is is they're definitely taking multiple pitches.
Speaker 1: You know, they're taking a lot of pitches with this,
Speaker 1: like Catchers I p and so I imagine for them
Speaker 1: to choose the most boring sounding one that they're like,
Speaker 1: oh no, this is this is there's something there. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It feels like they're doing a clean sweep through my
Speaker 1: child like Mario is coming out in a like six
Speaker 1: months then Tetris. It's just like a clean sweep through
Speaker 1: like the things that I cared about at age seven
Speaker 1: to eight. You know, yeah, they're just coming through weird.
Speaker 1: Al Yankovic just had a movie that was that was
Speaker 1: big for me at that period. What actor is going
Speaker 1: to play crash bandicoot? Do you think that's the use?
Speaker 1: Is he going to take that too? Sorry? What were
Speaker 1: you gonna say play? I don't I don't remember, but
Speaker 1: I think it was, Oh no, I do. So. I
Speaker 1: believe there was like maybe as a someone who wants
Speaker 1: to come off as intelligent and fails almost uniladder really,
Speaker 1: but I remember there was one movie I don't remember
Speaker 1: the name of it, but it sounded so fucking boring
Speaker 1: and it won all these awards, all every smart person
Speaker 1: was like, this is a genius movie. And ever since then,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not going to be tricked again. If
Speaker 1: a movie sounds boring, it must be to what Matt
Speaker 1: was saying, it must be a brilliant film. So I
Speaker 1: will not go out on a on a limb and
Speaker 1: say this will be bad because I can't be fooled again.
Speaker 1: I won't be publicly fooled about this. But it's gonna suck. Well,
Speaker 1: what's the movie you're referring to? Specifically? You know what
Speaker 1: would be make great podcasting is if I remember the
Speaker 1: name of it. But unfortunately, remember don't you don't even
Speaker 1: remember what happened? Didn't you just remember the sensation of
Speaker 1: being like, that's gonna be boring as ship? Was it
Speaker 1: the Constant Gardener? Because we've talked about this, We're talking
Speaker 1: about the constant Gardener sounds boring as ship? But it's
Speaker 1: not at all about constantly gardening. Yeah, it's not about
Speaker 1: somebody who just is really under gardening. No, it's it's
Speaker 1: about like, uh, what the funk was that about? There's
Speaker 1: like pharmacy and stuff. Yeah, pharmacy intrigues happening in Africa?
Speaker 1: Is it's in Africa somewhere, and there's this song that's
Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: I knew we were gonna end up end up with
Speaker 1: this story sing sing this song from So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: keep talking, but I want you to do that under
Speaker 1: me talking. I think that's gonna like give howd of
Speaker 1: a fun Like it's a big spiritualist vibe. Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: I think the thing that I object to is, sorry,
Speaker 1: the hero of this story is not like a person.
Speaker 1: It is just a lawyer, story of capitalism as it happened,
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, it's a it's a bummer. Like
Speaker 1: it makes sense because we are in a country where
Speaker 1: the mainstream media treats the destruction of a seven eleven
Speaker 1: front window as more serious than the like violence done
Speaker 1: to black bodies. So like it makes sense to me
Speaker 1: that this is just like where they think our values are.
Speaker 1: And maybe they're right, but it's just I don't know.
Speaker 1: Human stories used to be bigger than like a story
Speaker 1: of how Tetris got licensed. And yet you know, if
Speaker 1: if somebody told me that this end this ends up
Speaker 1: being really good, I wouldn't be shocked. I guess, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean here's the thing. Brands. That's all we got now,
Speaker 1: dog thank you, like thank you, wake up and smell
Speaker 1: the Folgers coffee specifically or blue bottle. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: because the brands there are there are there are Bottle, Liberal,
Speaker 1: Blue Bottle. You know, like the brands are are They
Speaker 1: are our overlords, they are our bosses, they are fires
Speaker 1: because I drink black Rifle coffee to rother but exactly
Speaker 1: to let people I know I finished sentences, or I
Speaker 1: respond to people finishing sentences by saying fuck yeah brother,
Speaker 1: yeah exactly. I mean, you know, it's a way, it's
Speaker 1: your lifestyle, it's everything is brands here, so you know
Speaker 1: you gotta get with it. Start, you know, brand brand.
Speaker 1: You gotta get good brand brain. Brandin. I got brand brain,
Speaker 1: and I'm cool with brands now. That's right. Another brand story.
Speaker 1: It feels like it's working from the same currency of
Speaker 1: like what if people do things to brand? And by
Speaker 1: the way, we are recording this on Friday, so if
Speaker 1: important news has happened over the weekend, doesn't matter. Another
Speaker 1: spy balloon. Okay, yeah. I also just realized we're off
Speaker 1: on Monday, so man, yeah, sorry if yeah, if we've
Speaker 1: missed a bunch, but we're talking about this. It's going
Speaker 1: to be work anymore. He wants to work, and that
Speaker 1: is what we're talking about. Nobody wants to work anymore anymore.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Blake. There's also the Winnie the Pooh horror
Speaker 1: movie that we talked about. It was basically Winnie the
Speaker 1: Pooh's copyright lapsed after a hundred years after the first published,
Speaker 1: so they can so anyone. It's up for grabs, it is,
Speaker 1: but it's only the first book, which only included Piglet
Speaker 1: and Winnie the Pooh and tigg No Tigger, It's it's
Speaker 1: Signfeld without Cramer. So yes, okay, Tigger was Cramer's. It's
Speaker 1: air tight. Yeah, no red shirt because that was actually
Speaker 1: a Disney addition to the soho was just butt naked shirt? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean could be. But so Basically, a UK filmmaker
Speaker 1: who until recently worked for an electricity supplier full time
Speaker 1: while making micro budget horror films on the side, happened
Speaker 1: upon this idea and realized that the Winnie the Pooh
Speaker 1: copyright was gonna lapse. Made this movie. It's called Winny
Speaker 1: of the Pooh, Blood and Honey it is. I'm okay,
Speaker 1: with this actually apparently it's very bad. Apparently not good. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean people are saying it's amateurish, sloppy and quote
Speaker 1: embarrassingly bad. But this is who's saying that critic. But
Speaker 1: it depends which ones because at this point, like I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if all the like the ones that
Speaker 1: are like Marvel, the ones who are bought out basically
Speaker 1: are just like Disney told us to say it was bad,
Speaker 1: right yeah, yeah. The same filmmakers are also working on
Speaker 1: horror takes on Bambi and Peter Pan. So it feels
Speaker 1: like this is the opposite side of the coin of
Speaker 1: like Hero's Journey, where the hero is the acquisition of
Speaker 1: the rights to distribute Tetris on Game Boy. This is
Speaker 1: the opposite where it's like the ultimate violence that you
Speaker 1: can do in our like cultural mindscape is to make
Speaker 1: Winnie the Pooh a real edge lord sick fuck you know,
Speaker 1: like this is the ultimate meaning yeah, the ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're not saying. I feel like this is a bummer because,
Speaker 1: like I think there could have been an interesting horror
Speaker 1: movie based on the fact that, first of all, each
Speaker 1: character in the Winnie the Pooh universe definitely represents a
Speaker 1: different like mental imbalance, Like, so there's something interesting there.
Speaker 1: There's also like the gluttons seems high. You r Is
Speaker 1: suffers from depression. Piglet definitely suffers from like anxiety, like anxiety, yeah,
Speaker 1: or you know, he's like just manic. Oh yeah, that's true,
Speaker 1: so Cramer. But and then there's also like the idea,
Speaker 1: So I guess the premise of this is that Christopher
Speaker 1: Robin returns to the hundred Acre, would like as an
Speaker 1: adult and like Poo and Piglet have gone feral and
Speaker 1: like murdered all the other characters, and like this idea
Speaker 1: of like children's imaginary imaginary friends, and like the imagination
Speaker 1: of children like that, like being abandoned like that that
Speaker 1: is examined to great effect in like Inside Out and
Speaker 1: Toy Story three or four, like the toys being abandoned
Speaker 1: but never dying and just like existing perpetually at the
Speaker 1: bottom of like a landfill, just stuck in place. Is
Speaker 1: like dark and interesting and has been handled well. But
Speaker 1: this feels like they just like turned it into an
Speaker 1: exploitation film. It's like a few degrees away from just
Speaker 1: doing parody porn, which I'm think is fine. You know
Speaker 1: if you're gonna if you never said anything else, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong. I'm I'm great friends with people who
Speaker 1: make the best parody porn over at Wood Rocket. They
Speaker 1: do great. They did the Simpsons Born, they did what
Speaker 1: do they do? Rugrats, which is a strange choice, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't they weren't hard to do. Yeah, hard to do,
Speaker 1: but I thought wire act. But it's a brave choice.
Speaker 1: So but you know, so like making the you know,
Speaker 1: lapsed i P you know, horror film of child things
Speaker 1: seems like, okay, have you considered making a sketch? Right?
Speaker 1: Try that? Do start with a sketch? See? How too
Speaker 1: long does this have to be? Yeah? You do get
Speaker 1: the sense that they were asking that as they set
Speaker 1: out to make this movie, like how long does it
Speaker 1: like for a feature? How long? How long we talking here? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Ten minutes? To get a distribution it starts. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna start with a number, and you tell me if
Speaker 1: it's higher six? Seven, Yeah, well surely it can't be
Speaker 1: nine christ kill Oh no, well, Blake Wexler as always
Speaker 1: a true pleasure having you on the daily's like geist,
