Speaker 2: I just want to rock by a little UZI er
Speaker 2: you ready for this one?
Speaker 4: That that song goes as you being as good as
Speaker 4: it is, but it is.
Speaker 2: I have a question for you dads out here, is
Speaker 2: it how often are you like when you're trying to
Speaker 2: like rock a baby, you know what I mean? Are
Speaker 2: you do you ever just rap a verse? Like, because
Speaker 2: I feel like people have baby appropriate songs, but I
Speaker 2: have so many rap verses memorized that I feel like
Speaker 2: to summon it. I could be like, you know, I
Speaker 2: could just lean into it, you know, like.
Speaker 3: Oh my baby, I rock a fly baby in the
Speaker 3: summertime for sure.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: And you look, they're so young, they're not even gonna
Speaker 4: remember all the words you're using, so you could just
Speaker 4: go full explicit on that ruck in the first few years.
Speaker 2: Right, pretend I know the whole rap God verse by
Speaker 2: eminem and you always spiting that shit perfect when you
Speaker 2: were a baby. Yeah, you just don't remember it because.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's definitely like more of my brain is
Speaker 3: Doctor Seus's ship now. Like I just realized, like we
Speaker 3: were waiting in line somewhere and we started doing I
Speaker 3: don't know, like some silly you know shit, and I
Speaker 3: realized I know all of Doctor Sus ABC's like by heart.
Speaker 3: You can just like spit that back, which is not
Speaker 3: like that hard. You already know what order it comes
Speaker 3: in because of because it's the DCS. But yeah, there's
Speaker 3: a lot of rhymes that start taking up space that
Speaker 3: used to be occupied by ghost Face.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, for sure, Italian music down the river
Speaker 2: with your chick clinging like that's that's gone now to
Speaker 2: my all player you met that's right, Iffy. How are
Speaker 2: you doing? Man, it's been way too long.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I know it's been way too long. It's
Speaker 4: you know, I've been trying to squeeze in here between gigs.
Speaker 4: But like it really was a quick runner last year
Speaker 4: because I was doing Twisted Metal at the top of
Speaker 4: the year and then right after Twisted Metal is back
Speaker 4: in Grand Crew. But now you know, I'm chilling, you know,
Speaker 4: you know, you developing some stuff you know, on the
Speaker 4: inside baseball. But you know, now I have free time.
Speaker 4: I've been dying to come on the pod and it's
Speaker 4: now is the perfect time because I think if I
Speaker 4: would have went in when I was like right after
Speaker 4: the room, when I was just like, you know, like
Speaker 4: neck deep in writing a TV show and not coming
Speaker 4: up for air. But now you know, I'm back on
Speaker 4: my gym routine and part of my gym routine, which
Speaker 4: you know this if you don't know this already, uh
Speaker 4: you know zeit gang. If you are on Spotify, you
Speaker 4: can do the Daily Drive. That's that's my ship. And
Speaker 4: what they do when you do the Daily Drive is
Speaker 4: they mix in the NPR kind of like Daily up
Speaker 4: first and then it goes into your your music playlist
Speaker 4: and then they'll pick like a you know, a podcast
Speaker 4: that's your vibe. I think they figured out that I'm
Speaker 4: a leftist, so then it goes to marketplace. Then it'll
Speaker 4: place more playlists, and then if you come back in
Speaker 4: the day, you'll get the updates with NPR's kind of
Speaker 4: up next updates.
Speaker 2: Which is great. So why are you trying to hold on, man,
Speaker 2: I just told y'all was having a kid and you
Speaker 2: trying to take money out of his mouth. Okay, right there,
Speaker 2: because you know we have a morning show too, and
Speaker 2: then we will update you later in the day. I
Speaker 2: also give music recommendations, but yes, yeah, yeah, and that
Speaker 2: other I know.
Speaker 4: But you know, definitely because when I was in my
Speaker 4: deep pod one, I was I was double dipping, you know,
Speaker 4: listening to y'all listening to this. And but also I
Speaker 4: do think Spotify does need to get the TDZ because
Speaker 4: y'all would fit the vibe more because it is funny
Speaker 4: having to go from m PR's you know tone to
Speaker 4: like baby Keem and I'm like, this would never be
Speaker 4: on KPCC or whatever you're listening like, they are never
Speaker 4: going to be like, okay, the needle drop after Ira Glass.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be the trying and do it sometimes and
Speaker 2: it's it's embarrassing, it is.
Speaker 4: Jarring, whereas like if the needle Drop came off off
Speaker 4: of us, you'd be like, yeah, that makes sense. I mean,
Speaker 4: we we go out on some bangers. So yeah, if
Speaker 4: you work in Spotify, definitely let them know to get
Speaker 4: TDZ in that data. Let them that's my new co
Speaker 4: to make up for what I just did. I'm definitely
Speaker 4: gonna see what I can do to pull some strings.
Speaker 2: Man. Also, Grand Crew was dope. I gotta tell you,
Speaker 2: thank you so good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can say this next season is going to
Speaker 4: be funnier, you know, And I think you know if
Speaker 4: you if you were, like I feel like when you're
Speaker 4: in the city and you're tapped in, everyone kind of knows.
Speaker 4: That first season is kind of more establishing everyone's relationships
Speaker 4: and know and second season we were able to just go, like,
Speaker 4: what's the funniest ship we can.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like you guys were able to get
Speaker 2: to that pretty quickly though, Like oh no, after like
Speaker 2: the first few if the show really fucking caught its stride.
Speaker 2: And I still love that Pipe Jerry or Jerry pipe joke.
Speaker 2: I don't know who wrote that one, but.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I forget who did that. But what I do
Speaker 4: remember is I was trying so hard to be pipe Jerry.
Speaker 4: I was. And then when they when we saw pipe Jerry,
Speaker 4: I was like, no, y'all got the right one, because
Speaker 4: boy is buff, but that guy was shredded.
Speaker 2: Wait tell the pipe Jerry joke? What is it? Oh?
Speaker 4: So nicky in her phone hash Pipe, Jerry and Jerry Pipe.
Speaker 4: One is a handyman, one is a stripper, and she
Speaker 4: calls the stripper up when she wanted the handyman, but
Speaker 4: he comes in as a handyman and he just starts
Speaker 4: getting it.
Speaker 2: And I just love to Jerry pipe and pipe. It
Speaker 2: was a fine balance. Yes, what is something from your
Speaker 2: search history?
Speaker 6: Recently? I was searching sandwiches near me?
Speaker 7: M M.
Speaker 6: I love that, which I thought was like a kind
Speaker 6: of a funny but pathetic little thing to search it
Speaker 6: near me. You know, it's like what's just near around
Speaker 6: me in arms length reaching distance? Yeah, kind of Yeah,
Speaker 6: that's like you're like you're basically just typing into your phone.
Speaker 3: I'm hungry sandwiches within earshot. You know I can yell
Speaker 3: sandwiches and someone.
Speaker 6: I wanted a sandwich, I would you know. I did
Speaker 6: a couple of day trip type things that we've had
Speaker 6: some family visiting over the holidays, and that some of
Speaker 6: those days really feel like, okay, now you got to
Speaker 6: have a sandwich ye a day t and so I
Speaker 6: needed one in they and we're g end up. Well,
Speaker 6: we just ate at we were at the Botanical garden
Speaker 6: Huntington Botanic. Oh yeah, beautiful botanical garden. And we just
Speaker 6: ate at the cafe there because it was too hard
Speaker 6: to get to another sandwich. But I I was thinking
Speaker 6: to some and I didn't get them. But I'll eventually
Speaker 6: get there.
Speaker 2: You ever, it's funny when you say, like sandwich near me,
Speaker 2: because you know, like Google always auto fill stuff for
Speaker 2: you to be like near, Like I need a physical
Speaker 2: therap like orthopedic blah blah near me? Do you want
Speaker 2: it really far away part of me? Like I'm like
Speaker 2: some weird like early search snob where I'm like, that's
Speaker 2: not how you're gonna fucking figure out where it is.
Speaker 2: You know, you don't need to have it in there civic,
Speaker 2: but obviously it's optimized to use your location to just
Speaker 2: figure that on your own. But I it's for whatever reason,
Speaker 2: whenever I see near me, I'll never do that. I'll
Speaker 2: fully type in the city. I'm like, well, I was
Speaker 2: desperate for a sandwich. That's why I allowed the auto complete.
Speaker 2: I was like, you're right, I need it close. It
Speaker 2: needs to be here now. Food there not that great,
Speaker 2: not that great? No, it was wasmate.
Speaker 6: Who doesn't love a Japanese garden actually, like I'm semi joking,
Speaker 6: but it is the most packed place and you are
Speaker 6: like this rules, this is tranquil as hell.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's wild. How diverse, like all of the flora
Speaker 2: and fauna and stuff like, we're like, okay, now we're
Speaker 2: in Asia. Now you're down on that and the in
Speaker 2: the like succulent desert area.
Speaker 6: Are you a dad already or this is first day
Speaker 6: you're talking. You're talking Dad talk, Dad's I'm a dad,
Speaker 6: And let me tell you, I love me some flora dad,
Speaker 6: because my god, it gets it gets nuts. But dads
Speaker 6: love different types of things growing. I have my father
Speaker 6: in law here and he has pointed out many a tree,
Speaker 6: and I'm interested.
Speaker 2: In the choir man. We'll go on a boat cruise
Speaker 2: around the bay. Check out the flotsam and jetsam you
Speaker 2: know all that.
Speaker 6: Would be really nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's what I'm in too. Now, not so
Speaker 2: much jets I'm actually had ail. My flotsam game is
Speaker 2: on your flat Sam or jet Sam plots there you go,
Speaker 2: flots all the way. Miles is definitely the built for
Speaker 2: this ship. He's I have unending useless knowledge to bore
Speaker 2: my child with and that's what they need exactly, and
Speaker 2: then they'll they'll regurgitate that at school and they'll be like,
Speaker 2: what are you what's going on at home? You know,
Speaker 2: like my son already does that. My son talked about
Speaker 2: Costco a lot. Yeah, I'm like, oh no, but oh yes, yeah.
Speaker 2: People talk about like Taco Bell, like how to get
Speaker 2: a Mexi melt, the car stole stain and Ronald Reagan
Speaker 2: is why we have unhoused people.
Speaker 6: Where's the cheesy Gurdida crunch Last time I went there,
Speaker 6: they didn't have the cheesy Gurdida crunch meal anymore.
Speaker 8: Wow, they have to they may they may have you
Speaker 8: all a kart that thing. Man, your listeners are just
Speaker 8: eating this up. They're like wow, no, no, because they
Speaker 8: knew my love of the Meximount. And somebody who's to
Speaker 8: work at a Taco Bell is like, this is how
Speaker 8: you can order it still, this is how you And
Speaker 8: I was like, thank you so much to sir. Here's
Speaker 8: the cheat code because as I think about it too,
Speaker 8: you're maybe shortening my life as I become a parent
Speaker 8: if I keep up with the Taco Bell hacks.
Speaker 2: So you know, but that's okay.
Speaker 6: Too, because you're gonna want to get out at some point.
Speaker 6: So it's like if I'm going down Taco Bell and
Speaker 6: die like a man. Yeah, with Taco Bell.
Speaker 2: That's a man. Thinkers actually heart attack your way out
Speaker 2: of there. What is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 6: Staying up late? Yes, spoken like a true father.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this has become such a same I know, hey,
Speaker 3: check out, you said yes, and I will.
Speaker 6: I will say also even more sadly that I've always
Speaker 6: kind of felt that way. Even in my high school days.
Speaker 6: I was sort of known for like kind of cutting
Speaker 6: it off at a round. Midnight was like my cutoff
Speaker 6: in high school.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 6: I was like, well, there's nothing's gonna happen anymore.
Speaker 2: It's over Wait, what do you mean nothing? Officer said,
Speaker 2: nothing good happens after midnight.
Speaker 6: So now I feel that for different reasons. I would
Speaker 6: say my counterpoint to the DARE officer, I'd be like, no,
Speaker 6: do your drugs earlier and then you could still.
Speaker 2: Get a good night sleep. Yeah, don't Yeah, don't be
Speaker 2: don't run with the sun exactly. You don't run with
Speaker 2: the sun.
Speaker 6: Now, you don't wake up refreshed, and you're like, I
Speaker 6: had a great insane night last night on Tons of Drugs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, what is Alison, something you think is overrated?
Speaker 9: Wow? This goes right kind of into what you guys
Speaker 9: were just saying.
Speaker 10: I feel that everyone else in there, goddamn opinions are overrated.
Speaker 10: First of all, I personally overrate them. But being someone
Speaker 10: who has a podcast occasionally I hear frequently I hear
Speaker 10: people's opinions about everything about me and my show, and
Speaker 10: oh the way you pronounce that word bothers me.
Speaker 9: The way you say this bothers me.
Speaker 10: And because I do overrate it, then I have to
Speaker 10: be like, fine, I guess I'll just change the way
Speaker 10: I do everything to appease you. So I just feel
Speaker 10: like in general, people with all their opinions, if they
Speaker 10: happen to have to do with me and are negative
Speaker 10: and make me feel bad, no, thank you.
Speaker 2: Just you know, they always say, you know, living on
Speaker 2: the words of others is a double edged sword, you know,
Speaker 2: because the compliments can like power you up, but if
Speaker 2: you really lean on that, the criticism will fucking just
Speaker 2: cut you in half too. And I think it's about
Speaker 2: for me personally, Like through my life I've tried to
Speaker 2: get away from that, because I'm such a people pleaser
Speaker 2: that I really do care a lot about what people think,
Speaker 2: and it's more about centering yourself and everything you do
Speaker 2: and realizing that the most true a living experience you
Speaker 2: can have is to honor what who you are sincerely
Speaker 2: and really understand that outside commentary can allow those words
Speaker 2: to like penetrate into your soul, because then you're completely
Speaker 2: doing yourself a disservice and not treating yourself with the
Speaker 2: sanctity that you deserve.
Speaker 10: So that is beautiful and and I actually that's sort
Speaker 10: of I go back and forth a lot, like that's
Speaker 10: something that for the most like, I have that realization,
Speaker 10: maybe not as eloquently as you put it, but I
Speaker 10: have that realization frequently, and then all of a sudden
Speaker 10: I will find that, like, oh this these comments bothered me.
Speaker 10: It's weird. I thought I was a little more armored.
Speaker 10: All that being said, allow me to say I'm being
Speaker 10: somewhat facetious, like, yeah, for the most part, I love
Speaker 10: that people listen and have an opinion, and of course
Speaker 10: I want to hear feedback and all of that stuff.
Speaker 10: I'm just saying occasionally, I'm like, not today, people.
Speaker 2: Occasionally they should consider shutting the fuck out. Everyone can. Yeah,
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, you know, it's
Speaker 2: like you have no responsibility to be like, oh I
Speaker 2: heard that, Yeah, say whatever the fuck you want. I'm
Speaker 2: not the same, you know. Yeah. Here, I'm just look
Speaker 2: live your ship from the inside and let that resonate outside.
Speaker 2: Don't let the ship don't don't do that shit in reverse.
Speaker 2: Don't let the outside ship affect your internal state. You
Speaker 2: know what I mean. That's so good. I recently I
Speaker 2: let resonate out.
Speaker 9: Oh, I think it was. I think it was Harry Noted.
Speaker 10: Ginger was saying that the the royal family's policy is like,
Speaker 10: never complain, never explain, and I was thinking, that's the
Speaker 10: opposite of my policy.
Speaker 9: I'm constantly I'm the most.
Speaker 10: Over explaining person in the whole world, right, and I'll
Speaker 10: complain too.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's healthier. Yeah, because the other side of it,
Speaker 2: you end up writing a book where you just like
Speaker 2: air out every weird thing that's happened to you in
Speaker 2: your life. You're like, okay, yeah, right, I do want
Speaker 2: to read it though. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 11: Anna, right now, she's getting updates from super audio in
Speaker 11: real time, like Prince Charles Ware's door sausage, and we're like,
Speaker 11: do your sauage, And it was a because she is
Speaker 11: a do your savage.
Speaker 3: And when I responded to her and said, I was
Speaker 3: over here searching your sausage. But savage is so it's
Speaker 3: so perfect. But as I was trying to type savage,
Speaker 3: it auto corrected to sausage, like for like, I couldn't
Speaker 3: get it to you. It was like, You're like, no,
Speaker 3: you you mean do your sausage, my friend.
Speaker 10: It's amazing, Ye do your sausage. What were you envisioning?
Speaker 10: Like some kind of high end sausage that he.
Speaker 2: Put on has sausage.
Speaker 3: So I was like I thought this was something yeah,
Speaker 3: but I was sausage that he put on his body.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. When I read that text, it fucked me
Speaker 2: up so bad because like, how do I not know?
Speaker 2: What do you got to do a car crash? I listened.
Speaker 2: I listened to so much wrap and like luxury brands
Speaker 2: are named you kind of buy osmosis or kind of
Speaker 2: up on ship. I'm like the door sausage, like, is
Speaker 2: that a food or is that like a piece of
Speaker 2: jewelry that he keeps on him? He got that door
Speaker 2: sausage on.
Speaker 9: But what is do your savage?
Speaker 3: Is that a line of something that is the color
Speaker 3: offensive Johnny Depp cologne? It's Der's cologne that they have
Speaker 3: where like Johnny Depp is in the ads playing electric
Speaker 3: guitar around like indigenous people's like in the desert.
Speaker 2: And just very.
Speaker 3: Ship run so many scarves, like he's just being swallowed
Speaker 3: by scarves and he's just out there in the desert
Speaker 3: with the moon and wolves and indigenous people and.
Speaker 2: He handed nonsense.
Speaker 3: It's it's like a thing that they They doubled down
Speaker 3: on him being the spokesperson for the product as he
Speaker 3: was on trial.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, shout out the sausage though. Yeah, but the
Speaker 2: sausage has a great snall. What is something you think
Speaker 2: is underrated?
Speaker 3: TERSA.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go real basic organizing bins. I moved to
Speaker 7: my boyfriend recently and intellect where he alread, oh thank you.
Speaker 7: But I've been like, it's great, But you know, this
Speaker 7: is probably something guys who have been through this will
Speaker 7: relate to you, I think, because I think that it's
Speaker 7: more common than I realized. I moved things around constantly
Speaker 7: because we don't move in together. So I'm like shuffling
Speaker 7: things around. I started getting bins to put things that
Speaker 7: are out, like oh, floss pins. Now everything's in bins,
Speaker 7: but it's still like around because I'm not trying to
Speaker 7: so now like as friends will come over and be like, oh,
Speaker 7: I see there's more bins around, like just like all
Speaker 7: the loose items that were out and about are now
Speaker 7: in bins. But I love it, and I think that
Speaker 7: it doesn't distract from his flow to.
Speaker 2: Like, wow, do you mind showing me, like give me
Speaker 2: example of something else?
Speaker 7: Yeah, And then there's a well I wish I can't
Speaker 7: go now. But these bright Room clear ones, if you
Speaker 7: target sells them, they're great. You can stack them like buyer.
Speaker 2: You're just organized. It's not like you're filling up like
Speaker 2: rubber made storage containers.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Man, there's yere.
Speaker 7: They're in the bathroom, they're the kitchen. It's like that
Speaker 7: what is that ludicrous song like in the car the.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah in the backseat a the movie. Yeah I
Speaker 2: know that one.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, give it to Yeah, I got
Speaker 7: the recommend I can't. I can't recommend any more of
Speaker 7: these clear bins because they stack. You could put like
Speaker 7: coffee pods, tea chocolate every like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, and I've never it's funny, so you've
Speaker 2: probably seen this. I feel like Asian people will use
Speaker 2: like tupperware too as container storage things like on I
Speaker 2: grow at all. Yeah, I remember my moms you like
Speaker 2: like I'll be like sixth grades, Like your room's a message,
Speaker 2: like I organized it, but just put all my pens
Speaker 2: like in a a wear and other ship like that.
Speaker 7: That's the thing like you go to you go to
Speaker 7: like an auntie's house and there's like those Danish cookies bins.
Speaker 2: It's just like swing, that's ever kid, that's our sewing kid.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think it's just it is funny because
Speaker 2: I think of that too. I have it's just not
Speaker 2: in my brain to think of buying organizational bins or
Speaker 2: holders or things like that. So I think as just
Speaker 2: how I'm kind of like a messy person. People who
Speaker 2: have been to the iHeart office. Back when it was running,
Speaker 2: my desk looked like some kind of fucking hoarders like nightmare.
Speaker 2: But I'm organized your office for you. I literally love it.
Speaker 7: Like it's like I think a new addiction because it's
Speaker 7: it's fun to.
Speaker 3: Organize a percentage when you're organizing, what percentage of the
Speaker 3: stuff are you throwing away?
Speaker 2: My high is my high? Are you and what percentage
Speaker 2: of the stuff do you try? Well?
Speaker 7: So, like I'll I'm trying not to throw away too
Speaker 7: much because that's the part I think will become annoying.
Speaker 7: Like literally, I'm like my boyfriend back, it's fine, do whatever.
Speaker 7: So I just try to reorganize. But I already moved in,
Speaker 7: so a lot of my stuff has gone, So it
Speaker 7: really is just rearranging. And I think that part I
Speaker 7: love it because sometimes until you move, you don't realize
Speaker 7: that what the flow is going to be. So ye,
Speaker 7: I've had to shuffle where the keys go like maybe
Speaker 7: four times, and that is probably annoying. But you know,
Speaker 7: my boyfriends saying and he his tacks like he didn't mine.
Speaker 7: I hope, I hope he still loves me.
Speaker 2: But I'm sure you do.
Speaker 3: But are you saying that they've also improved the container
Speaker 3: get like it's no longer like the containers that you
Speaker 3: can get are are better than they used to be.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 7: I think they realized we were using tupperware and repurposing
Speaker 7: like like you know, boxes and shit, like I used
Speaker 7: to put my magazine in an old Amazon box like
Speaker 7: cut in half, and now it's like, you can you
Speaker 7: know you have to spend a lot. You can just
Speaker 7: couple bucks and get these like nice classic Bens stacking.
Speaker 2: Or my mom should put fucking wrapping paper like nice
Speaker 2: wrapping paper on other boxes to turn them up.
Speaker 7: Yeah, my mom had just closet up old boxes. Like literally,
Speaker 7: I'm like, we don't need this, like stores that are
Speaker 7: out of business.
Speaker 2: She says boxes for She's like, what do you need?
Speaker 2: We don't need this may company box anymore.
Speaker 3: So I feel like the one time we made a
Speaker 3: real run at getting organized, my wife and are both
Speaker 3: very disorganized people, and the yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh, I thought your wife was like the opposites attracting,
Speaker 2: Like no, no, no, we are like identicals attract love
Speaker 2: in that respect because her majesty looks at me and
Speaker 2: it's disgusted. Sometimes. No, that's it. It's it's truly like
Speaker 2: we we were like should we really get married?
Speaker 3: This is this is going to be a problem, Like
Speaker 3: we really love each other, but this is going to
Speaker 3: be a problem because we are identical, like identically add
Speaker 3: messy people and we've made it work so far, but
Speaker 3: we've like made multiple runs of getting organized to end.
Speaker 3: Sometimes it like that the last time we did it
Speaker 3: like via a container store approach, the stuff just kind
Speaker 3: of looked like shit and ended up kind of all
Speaker 3: over the place. We just had a messy house with
Speaker 3: containers in there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you got to go not to it because I
Speaker 7: used to be like too ambitious and be like, I'm
Speaker 7: gonna do the whole room, and then you start doing
Speaker 7: it and then nothing matches but the little that you
Speaker 7: start small, like you you organize the desk, and then
Speaker 7: you get like, you know, oh, I now I have confidence.
Speaker 7: I could do the kitchen, I could do the bathroom,
Speaker 7: and then pretty soon it's like the insides are good,
Speaker 7: so you can then the outsides follow, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, such as life. Yeah, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 3: Got the double thumbs up, Like the beginning of Top
Speaker 3: Gun and Top Gun, Maverick.
Speaker 6: That's how every movie starts, isn't it go?
Speaker 2: Movie start and where go? And we're characters now, all right,
Speaker 2: So conspiratorial thinking abounds. Miles.
Speaker 3: This is your story and I'll let you take it
Speaker 3: from there.
Speaker 2: Well, I think I mean, that's that's true no matter
Speaker 2: who says that sentence, I would say, but yes, it
Speaker 2: is all over. I mean, look last week, right when
Speaker 2: you know, like the anti vaxxers, I think they believe
Speaker 2: they got a gift from like blonde haired Jesus. When
Speaker 2: like NFL player DeMar Hamlin collapsed passed away like momentarily
Speaker 2: from a cardiac arrest and was a revived immediately, the
Speaker 2: fucking tweets and posts talking about died suddenly just ramped
Speaker 2: up exponentially. There's this group called the Center for Countering
Speaker 2: Digital Hate, and they're nonprofit that looks at disinformation and
Speaker 2: things like that. They said that the phrase died suddenly
Speaker 2: had quadrupled that day. Like the daily average is only
Speaker 2: fourth about four thousand mentions, this was doing about seventeen thousand.
Speaker 2: Where people are going on this whole died suddenly. And
Speaker 2: do you guys remember we've talked about this phrase died
Speaker 2: suddenly before because there was that shitty I guess documentary
Speaker 2: that they called it, but it was really just a
Speaker 2: montage clip of people collapsing due to any other reason
Speaker 2: aside from having like a COVID vaccine and actually not
Speaker 2: dying and people were like, oh man, this is fucking scary. Man,
Speaker 2: look at what the vaccines doing to people. People are
Speaker 2: just dying left and right. Well, this like the fervor
Speaker 2: around that shit hasn't died down. And this guy specifically
Speaker 2: just recently came back up in the news. You may
Speaker 2: have remembered us talking about him. His name is Christopher Keys.
Speaker 2: He was the guy that was called the vaccine cop
Speaker 2: who wore like a fucking badge. Yeah, and he tried
Speaker 2: to citizens arrest a fucking governor for like approving vaccines
Speaker 2: for kids. And he also remember his last I mean,
Speaker 2: we really talked about him because of his last science breakthrough.
Speaker 2: Let me just let me just remind you really quick
Speaker 2: what he's told a roomful of people what the antidote
Speaker 2: to the COVID vaccine was.
Speaker 12: You know, take it with a grain of salt, but
Speaker 12: go do the research because this is gonna just be like,
Speaker 12: there's no way but the antidote.
Speaker 13: And I'm going to kill the credibility.
Speaker 12: But what credible don't have anywhere? So way, the antidote
Speaker 12: that we've seen now and we have tons and tons
Speaker 12: of research, is you're in therapy.
Speaker 2: You're in therapy okay, and I know to a lot
Speaker 2: of you, and a lot of people are like, what
Speaker 2: the fuck is this doing? Yes, he's talking about drinking
Speaker 2: your peepee so you can negate the vaccine and be free. Well,
Speaker 2: now this guy's back at it again, and he's this.
Speaker 2: So he was on a plane and he was asking
Speaker 2: the pilots if they were vaccinated because they could die
Speaker 2: suddenly due to their vaccination. So this is we're some
Speaker 2: play this clip. This is he was just like going
Speaker 2: up into a Cognitoight, Hey, how you feels doing blah
Speaker 2: blah blah. You guys aren't vaccinated, are you? This is
Speaker 2: him walking up to the cockpit.
Speaker 12: We just found out another pallette dropped in.
Speaker 2: Yes, you guys aren't vaccinated all ya?
Speaker 3: I hope?
Speaker 14: Yes?
Speaker 2: How am I both of you?
Speaker 3: True?
Speaker 10: Though?
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, you're young enough.
Speaker 2: Okay, so he's laughing off. He's like, yeah, okay, yeah, sure,
Speaker 2: thing more on that later. I bet you guys will
Speaker 2: be fine. Then guess what the fucking flight landed, because
Speaker 2: no one's dying suddenly as shit. And then this is
Speaker 2: he goes up to the pilots. I guess just like
Speaker 2: double back on being like yo, I know I was
Speaker 2: talking to that ship, like, let me just check in
Speaker 2: on you guys one more time because I don't want
Speaker 2: to take that l Thank you guys, thank you, and
Speaker 2: give your car real quick. Yeah, please gank you guy.
Speaker 14: The documentary we just put out called Die tell Me
Speaker 14: about Steve Peters. All right, you said you were young, brother,
Speaker 14: so I said, but again, we've had over a thousand
Speaker 14: athletes dropped dead on the football field twenty three years
Speaker 14: of age.
Speaker 2: Please go look at it. It's a lot. We have
Speaker 2: a team of over you hear the pilot just goes,
Speaker 2: that's a lie right back, because it is a fucking lie. Yeah,
Speaker 2: He's just like, just get the fuck out of face, dude,
Speaker 2: that's a thousands of people aren't going down. He's likely
Speaker 2: referencing this like website that just has a list of
Speaker 2: fucking athletes that have died, like for any reason. They'll
Speaker 2: be like sixty six year old rugby legend died. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: and just leaving it at that. And I think it's
Speaker 2: worth mentioning all this because Tucker Carlson has made the
Speaker 2: same claims on his show, and we're now looking at
Speaker 2: a like house of representatives where like the pandemic, Adrina
Speaker 2: chrome gang are going to be setting a lot of
Speaker 2: the agendas for what kind of legislation they even discuss,
Speaker 2: or the you know, the business A lot of these
Speaker 2: of a lot of these committees. And McCarthy he finally
Speaker 2: got his speakership, but he basically had to give away
Speaker 2: all his power to these people just so he can
Speaker 2: have a bigger office and hold a wooden dildough. And
Speaker 2: we're going to pay the price because of this, because
Speaker 2: now we have people who are if you hear even
Speaker 2: what he said in his first speech, he's talking about
Speaker 2: things like looking into the origins of the pandemic or
Speaker 2: like looking at like what's going on with the CDC.
Speaker 2: All this language is meant to begin a ton of
Speaker 2: quote unquote investigations that are just going to challenge people's
Speaker 2: sense of like established truth or reality going into twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: This is who we are seeding ground to. When people
Speaker 3: are like he's made some concessions and seeded some ground, like,
Speaker 3: this is who he's ultimately seeding ground. Two is the
Speaker 3: guy who wants to make his pilots let him watch
Speaker 3: them drink their own pea before takeoff, to make sure
Speaker 3: that they're covered's.
Speaker 2: It'll only be a matter of time until doctor Pepe
Speaker 2: is going up to do like some kind of testimony
Speaker 2: in front of Congress or whatever about how like he's
Speaker 2: seen he's seen he's seen it all, folks. But again,
Speaker 2: this is all it's just very dangerous too, because when
Speaker 2: you look even how epidemiologists are talking, they're like, man,
Speaker 2: the way these these diseases mutate and we have new variants,
Speaker 2: like we're looking at like a new pathoge in like
Speaker 2: every six years that we have to contend with, whether
Speaker 2: it's like SARS or MERSE or COVID, like they keep coming.
Speaker 2: And so there's no there's no world in which you
Speaker 2: got to be like, we don't need to look into
Speaker 2: any of this shit anymore, right, Like it's all bullshit,
Speaker 2: And I don't know how on earth the country can
Speaker 2: protect itself because it did already the terrible job when
Speaker 2: the shit started in twenty twenty, when the GOP is
Speaker 2: basically going to tell Americans like, hey, fuck science, they
Speaker 2: don't know shit. Really, yeah, they've like built out the
Speaker 2: scaffolding already for the next pandemic, and oh now everybody
Speaker 2: like prior to the pandemic like people, I think, like
Speaker 2: there there's been a huge drop off and like the
Speaker 2: number of people who actually are not skeptical of fucking
Speaker 2: vaccines just across the board. Like that, it's done.
Speaker 3: They've done quite a bit of damage, and it's it's
Speaker 3: very frustrated, Like this is one of the most frustrating
Speaker 3: sort of cognitive biases to deal with, like the sampling
Speaker 3: bias or sampling error, where it's just any news story
Speaker 3: can be used to make the case, like it it
Speaker 3: didn't make any sense to me, Like it hadn't crossed
Speaker 3: my mind that the NFL story would be used in
Speaker 3: this way to like try and bias people against vaccines.
Speaker 3: But it's it's like the you know that year everyone
Speaker 3: was like god, like twenty eighteen is on a weird one.
Speaker 3: All these celebrities are dying and it's just like, no,
Speaker 3: there's just a lot of celebrities who are in their
Speaker 3: sixties and seventies and eighties at this point. You know,
Speaker 3: it's like that it's you're just seeing It's like I
Speaker 3: used to think people in Russia were the wildest drivers,
Speaker 3: and it turns out it's just that Russian that like
Speaker 3: most Russian cars have a dash cam and so you
Speaker 3: just see all the footage of the wildest shit that's
Speaker 3: happening on roads everywhere around the world happen, and like
Speaker 3: they actually share the footage as opposed to you know,
Speaker 3: we don't. We don't all have cameras constantly taking the
Speaker 3: footage in.
Speaker 2: Hey, well now we're catching up because now more American
Speaker 2: people have them now and the clips are starting to
Speaker 2: have American license plate in them. Yes, and they're equally
Speaker 2: fucking out there drivers here. I mean shit in La I.
Speaker 6: Think where I live in Glendale is like considered the
Speaker 6: worst driving in the country, right, and really, yeah it is.
Speaker 2: I mean the one thirty four, the one thirty four lawless, lawless,
Speaker 2: and I grew up driving on that ship. I'm a
Speaker 2: good driver because I've had to transit the one thirty
Speaker 2: text yourself. Yeah yeah, I mean that's had some of
Speaker 2: the most fucking fucked up accidents ever on it. Like yeah,
Speaker 2: there was one where the guy like was ejected onto
Speaker 2: like a fucking freeway sign. Wow, Like yeah they remember that. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: in a way, it's just a lot of wild anyway.
Speaker 2: But all that to say, yeah, our confirmation biases are
Speaker 2: out there. But again, it's just very scary to think of,
Speaker 2: like how even in our like when the pandemic started
Speaker 2: here in twenty twenty, like the CDC and the government
Speaker 2: was like, it looks like a lot of stuffs happened
Speaker 2: in New York right now, should we start testing for that, right?
Speaker 2: And they just didn't, and then you know Q Curve
Speaker 2: theme song.
Speaker 6: People have to remember in general that state lines are
Speaker 6: just made up, right, right, because a lot of times
Speaker 6: people will be you know, I'm from the East Coast
Speaker 6: and I'll visit home and people will be like, wow, California,
Speaker 6: there's a lot of like fires and stuff out there.
Speaker 6: Hunt It's like you live here too, Yes, I'm like closer,
Speaker 6: but your planet is also on fire. It's not just like, oh,
Speaker 6: it's only California and once it hits that line, we
Speaker 6: don't have to worry about it. Yeah, exactly, only slightly
Speaker 6: further away from you.
Speaker 2: I think. Yeah, we have such a terrible like compartmentalization
Speaker 2: problem in America, Like whether it's class or race or
Speaker 2: like whatever. People are like, ah, well that's that's for
Speaker 2: this other thing outside of my little box I think
Speaker 2: I'm inside of.
Speaker 6: It's like, no motherfucker to your point, it's like we're
Speaker 6: all on the same rock, you know, and the problem
Speaker 6: happening here can get to you.
Speaker 2: They will eventually.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I flew here in like a few hours, like
Speaker 6: happening you might want to like, you know, take some
Speaker 6: cover or something, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well a little bit further, but still you know, part
Speaker 3: of a part of an ongoing trend that we've been
Speaker 3: tragging here that we're seeing happen in Brazil is the
Speaker 3: rise of fascism, and like a very specific type of
Speaker 3: fascism that is like mega fascism, I guess is.
Speaker 2: But so Bolsonaro lost.
Speaker 6: His election and well that's what they say.
Speaker 2: Right exactly. We don't know, we don't know, we don't know,
Speaker 2: we don't know. We got according to who, according to who? Yeah,
Speaker 2: but it's all part of it is like what what
Speaker 2: you satirizing? Your show?
Speaker 3: What the p doctor? The only doctor I listened to?
Speaker 3: And uh, of course and this Bolsonaro thing are all
Speaker 3: a part of this same trend of people feeling disaffected
Speaker 3: and lonely and feeling you know, rejecting the kind of
Speaker 3: liberal mainstream status quo, in many cases for like good
Speaker 3: reasons and in many cases for horrifying you know, racist reasons,
Speaker 3: but they are like it's a growing it's a growing
Speaker 3: movement that it feels like we're not doing the right
Speaker 3: things to prevent. But what the latest kind of flare
Speaker 3: up of this is that after he lost the election,
Speaker 3: he kind of pulled a Trump and you know, disappeared
Speaker 3: to Florida, but continued to spread wild conspiratorial nonsense to
Speaker 3: the point that supporters storm Brazilian Congress over twenty twenty
Speaker 3: two election loss is was the number one story over
Speaker 3: the weekend on TMZ. What MZ, None of the rioters
Speaker 3: are dating Pete Davidson, but that that was their number
Speaker 3: one story, So right right, TMZ's onto it. I think
Speaker 3: we should be too, but I don't know he's been.
Speaker 3: His protesters have been blocking roads, setting vehicles on fire,
Speaker 3: camping out outside military headquarters, urging the arm forces to intervene.
Speaker 3: And yeah, a lot of American media outlets are comparing
Speaker 3: this to January sixth, partly because we are incapable of
Speaker 3: seeing a global news story and not making it about ourselves.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, but also when Steve Bannon is a bolscenario advisor, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know exactly, and he was ringing that bell from
Speaker 2: over here like last year, saying like, I don't know,
Speaker 2: looks like real contested. We'll see what happened. I mean,
Speaker 2: he was his whole thing was like I'm hoping for
Speaker 2: another January sixth in Brazil. And it's weird too because
Speaker 2: like it it was everything about it was just kind
Speaker 2: of off, like it was on a Sunday, so no
Speaker 2: officials were there, so like they weren't necessarily like stopping
Speaker 2: the certification of an election or something. They just like
Speaker 2: pulled up and just like ransacked the place and that
Speaker 2: was like about it. Then there's even like a qqu
Speaker 2: Shaman QAnon Shaman, like fucking like like analogous dude, but
Speaker 2: in Brazilian colors who also showed up. There's like so
Speaker 2: much imitation happening too that well, it's.
Speaker 6: Very tree has the Saint has one of every type
Speaker 6: of person, right yeah, yeah, there's an Italian one, right one, Yeah,
Speaker 6: they all have one.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's but it's funny too because like they go
Speaker 2: into it thinking they're like this is what the people want,
Speaker 2: Like they're on this like wave of self righteousness, like
Speaker 2: even with the January sixth people they're like we're patriots
Speaker 2: or whatever. But the problem is, like I think, because
Speaker 2: they think they're on such a like righteous course and
Speaker 2: then they like objectively lose an election, It's like, well,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna fucking say, oh maybe I would, maybe
Speaker 2: I didn't represent the will of the people. Right, They're
Speaker 2: gonna double down and be like, no, fuck it, put
Speaker 2: your face paint on, and now will storm the capitol.
Speaker 2: Like I don't know if you saw that one clip
Speaker 2: where the one guy's like, yeah, man, we can take
Speaker 2: that building. We can we can get in there, and
Speaker 2: there's a guy behind him who's like and then what
Speaker 2: like on January sixth, And that's kind of the mentality.
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, you're angry, you pulled up, But because
Speaker 2: you're all there motivated by this like like all of
Speaker 2: these very disparate principles, like everyone's there for their own
Speaker 2: fucking weird reason. Like it's it's they don't quite turn
Speaker 2: into like this hyper potent thing. But I will say this,
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously Brazil has had a military dictatorship, so
Speaker 2: they're not far off being like, y'all get involved like
Speaker 2: like y'all did in the sixties to eighties.
Speaker 3: Please Yeah, And apparently the local police report to the governor,
Speaker 3: who is a former Bolsonaro ally and this was similarly
Speaker 3: to January sixth. This is being planned openly on the
Speaker 3: internet for at least two weeks. I think even there
Speaker 3: was even more planning to the to the point that
Speaker 3: the buses were chartered that showed up for the for
Speaker 3: the storming of the capitol. Like this is this is
Speaker 3: like a you know, the the Civil War reenactments that
Speaker 3: are like, all right, this is what this is what
Speaker 3: you do when you lose an election and then you're
Speaker 3: on have a right wing dictator on the ballot.
Speaker 6: I love that everyone for all this stuff has to
Speaker 6: use social media and text messages, you know, like no
Speaker 6: one is like, hey, if we're going to be secretively,
Speaker 6: we can't text. Yeah, And they all just text openly
Speaker 6: and then they get subpoenus and it's like, look, it's
Speaker 6: all here. I have every text that they wrote to
Speaker 6: each other. Like I just can't help it, you know,
Speaker 6: it's convenient. I like the blue bubbles. We all got
Speaker 6: to have iPhones when we're planning.
Speaker 2: The second the second they figure out their OPSEC. Oh
Speaker 2: but until then, yeah, their egos will continue to assist
Speaker 2: those who are seeking to keep keep texting, Yeah, put
Speaker 2: it on, put it on, getter or whatever.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think there's something that is like specifically social media
Speaker 3: driven about the like that specific impulse of well, there
Speaker 3: must have there must have been cheating going on, because
Speaker 3: everyone I speak to and all the information that I
Speaker 3: see is like creating this world where he's going to
Speaker 3: win on a landslide. And that is because you are
Speaker 3: being fed and algorithm that is designed just for you
Speaker 3: based on what you want to see. So like that again,
Speaker 3: it's like a very it's a lonely world by design,
Speaker 3: and that it is it has been designed exactly and
Speaker 3: only for you, and so it doesn't actually like where
Speaker 3: else are you going to find the people who agree
Speaker 3: with you?
Speaker 2: But on social media because you.
Speaker 6: Can't go door to door right right, Just think of
Speaker 6: a storm in the capitals to meet your neighbor.
Speaker 2: Hi, I just wanted to see what you knew about
Speaker 2: a violent overthrow of the government, and I might be
Speaker 2: able to interest you in joining.
Speaker 6: Us this weekend, quick yes or no?
Speaker 3: Yeah, But the riot was condemned by pretty much everyone
Speaker 3: except for Steve Bannon and other mega folks who were like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's Brazilian freedom fighters.
Speaker 2: That's what we're looking at. There were some, there were
Speaker 2: some quiet Republicans, like they're still the ones that are
Speaker 2: trying to figure out like where their soul is or
Speaker 2: they're like I'm not gonna raw, right, But I can't
Speaker 2: say that's bad because then I'll get just absolutely you know.
Speaker 2: So you just faulted on the internet by the MAGA people.
Speaker 2: But yeah, we shall see.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Dan, it sounds like you when we mentioned
Speaker 3: him earlier, like Steve's a friend.
Speaker 2: Steve Ben Stevie b.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Steve's a good pal. He and I have the
Speaker 6: same skincare regimen. Oh great, And yeah, I just these
Speaker 6: beautiful fun guy.
Speaker 2: Do the same dental routine to sleep with a bunch
Speaker 2: of jobs in your mouth.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: And just I'm like, Steve, had you get those cool
Speaker 6: red spots all over you, jolly rasers. All the insides
Speaker 6: are on your outsides because you're so evil that your
Speaker 6: body can't contain any kind of maladies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true power. When when your body starts turning
Speaker 3: itself inside out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, when you look like the Emperor or whatever from
Speaker 6: Star Wars, you're like cool, You're in a good spot.
Speaker 6: You look like the bad guy, like the worst bad
Speaker 6: guy ever made in movies. You look like him, got
Speaker 6: that Palpatine swag Palpatine? Yeah, okay, rise and grind. I'm
Speaker 6: on my Palpatine palpit Dude, I nailed him, Palpatine. That's
Speaker 6: messed up, man.
Speaker 2: You heard it here there? It is what did they
Speaker 2: call it? Rounding? He's a round Emperor is all right, let's.
Speaker 3: Take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 3: And this is this is our JFK assassination conspiracy. This
Speaker 3: is our yeah for our generation. So back in twenty twelve,
Speaker 3: you might remember what a time. I didn't, but you
Speaker 3: guys did. Kim Kardashian flower bomb. She was being interviewed
Speaker 3: on the red carpet. Someone came up and I thought
Speaker 3: it was going to be more like violent than it was.
Speaker 3: It was more of like a She was sprinkled with flower.
Speaker 3: Her head did go back and to the left as
Speaker 3: it happened, but she was at an event launching her
Speaker 3: Knew perfume. It drew attention to the product and the
Speaker 3: seriousness of baking ingredient based attacks. Absolute like police were
Speaker 3: called and everything, like the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says,
Speaker 3: deputies were called to the London hotel because somebody threw
Speaker 3: powder on her and you know, you don't know that
Speaker 3: it's flower exactly, it'd be the cocaine that her PR
Speaker 3: agent was doing.
Speaker 2: When also, that's it, that's an expensive rank. Yes, literally,
Speaker 2: throw like a quarter pound of cocaine on somebody. Okay,
Speaker 2: do you got eight ounces of money?
Speaker 3: She bravely refused medical treatment at the time. Paramedics were
Speaker 3: called to the hotel, but Cardiasishan refused medical treatment and
Speaker 3: described it as the most craziest, unexpected, weird thing that
Speaker 3: ever happened to me.
Speaker 2: Oh, do you want to Jack, you said, you've never
Speaker 2: seen it. Do you want to see the Do you
Speaker 2: want to watch the video? The okay for the story? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean the audio is just interesting because she's giving
Speaker 2: an interview and the person just utters for hag because
Speaker 2: there was like an anti fur protest supposedly, but she's
Speaker 2: giving an interview, she's talking, she's talking. Oh, here comes
Speaker 2: a person from the back with the bag. Here's the thing, though,
Speaker 2: this is the beginning of Kim Kardashian's terrible acting career.
Speaker 7: M H.
Speaker 2: Because knowing what we know now her her reactions are
Speaker 2: very like, I knew that she was gonna she was
Speaker 2: like feigning outrage. She's like, oh yeah, smiling, but she's smiling.
Speaker 2: She's smiling right here, Yeah, she's smiling.
Speaker 16: Oh shit, happened recording the plab anyway, So yeah, what
Speaker 16: were you saying about this aventure and then set up
Speaker 16: what walks off with her head down like almost like
Speaker 16: trying to stifle a lab.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, or it was kind of doing that
Speaker 2: thing where you like someone through a like on a
Speaker 2: reality show, or someone throws a drink on someone and
Speaker 2: they're not trying to let that phase them, so they
Speaker 2: go right, oh, oh okay, right right, I just wiped
Speaker 2: the drink off, grabbing their hair. Yeah yeah, yeah. Anyways,
Speaker 2: we recently learned that it was all a PR stunt.
Speaker 3: She was totally in on it. Her PR agent and
Speaker 3: her planned the faux attack in order to create a
Speaker 3: media moment. She supposedly told Kim Kardashian, if we create
Speaker 3: media gold, guess what's going to happen. Everyone's going to
Speaker 3: be talking about your perfume. Everyone's going to buy it.
Speaker 2: Did that happen?
Speaker 3: I'm wearing it right now?
Speaker 2: Oh okay, but I thought you were saying you always
Speaker 2: wear white diamonds. You said, yeah, it's a little it's
Speaker 2: a millunge. He's glassy. Didn't Tom Cruise have something similar
Speaker 2: happen to him too? Where he got flower bombed? It
Speaker 2: literally spread with a squirt gun?
Speaker 3: I think was it?
Speaker 2: I thought he got flower bomb too?
Speaker 3: Oh did he?
Speaker 2: And I think he did this work so well? Or
Speaker 2: maybe he got glitter bombed he got I think he wait,
Speaker 2: let's see, there's a whole thing. He said, Slip's get attacked,
Speaker 2: glitter bomb, flower bomb, Kim got the flower? Who is this?
Speaker 2: I think Lindsay Lohan got hit with glitter and flower?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah what? Yeah?
Speaker 7: What? What?
Speaker 2: Something? I don't know that looks like a liquid? What
Speaker 2: did you say?
Speaker 4: Then?
Speaker 2: Maybe he did get wet.
Speaker 3: He did at one point get spread with a squirt gun.
Speaker 3: And I just remember because he has this like very
Speaker 3: friendly facade, but when he got sprayed with a squirt gun,
Speaker 3: it went away, turned it up.
Speaker 2: It was because I thought this was a part of
Speaker 2: something about Mary somebody else. What is happening in this picture?
Speaker 3: So yeah, he got mad Lindsay Lohan and and the
Speaker 3: screen cap that they used of her glitter bomb Attech
Speaker 3: looks like she's being hit with molten metal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or the grenade went on.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 7: This.
Speaker 3: This is interesting to me because it suggests that, like
Speaker 3: there are those times where you hear a conspiracy theory,
Speaker 3: like I had recently heard that all that don't worry
Speaker 3: Darling extreme media push controversy was all part of some
Speaker 3: four D chess plan And it did seem to like
Speaker 3: it had a big opening weekend and then kind of
Speaker 3: died off after that. But that is a big opening
Speaker 3: weekend is usually a testament to a really successful media push,
Speaker 3: And I don't know like this, So first of all,
Speaker 3: it's such a bad idea, like to say out loud,
Speaker 3: We're going to make people buy your perfume by dumping
Speaker 3: flour on your head. But it is also like the
Speaker 3: it was definitely like conceived by someone who was doing
Speaker 3: too many stimulants, I think, whether it be coffee or
Speaker 3: what it was, but it's it does kind of open
Speaker 3: in my mind to Okay, I'm going to be viewing
Speaker 3: any anything like this in the future through new glasses
Speaker 3: because of this.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I mean it makes sense because so much
Speaker 2: is like celebrity is such a spectacle that all you
Speaker 2: have to do is, you know, think a little bit
Speaker 2: ahead of how people are going to respond to what's
Speaker 2: happening to a celebrity, and you get this kind of
Speaker 2: shit like all the time, where like it would be like, oh,
Speaker 2: if someone does this, then it's popping. If you got
Speaker 2: all this talk around, you know, the stuff that was
Speaker 2: going on set or whatever, people are going to be
Speaker 2: talking because I feel like as the days we used
Speaker 2: to just take movies in, there would be a billboard,
Speaker 2: there would be a fucking bus bench ad, there'd be
Speaker 2: a couple music videos and you knew a movie was
Speaker 2: coming out, right, But I think in the age of
Speaker 2: like the Internet and everything, it's like those same I
Speaker 2: don't think those will work in the same way, and
Speaker 2: they kind of have to do like run syops on
Speaker 2: the fucking audience to get them interested on some level. Right,
Speaker 2: well related but not related.
Speaker 17: Thinking about the whole I don't know if you've all
Speaker 17: talked about it, but the Jinshaw thing, right, so, her
Speaker 17: bringing a fake bag to her her sentencing. Everyone has
Speaker 17: been talking about that, and I'm like, as much as
Speaker 17: people are like, oh this thing, I'm like, that's what
Speaker 17: these reality folks have been crafted to do. They've they've
Speaker 17: learned how to make every moment of their like anything happens,
Speaker 17: it's a moment. And so like, I'm not surprised that
Speaker 17: someone would come out and say Kim Kardashian's flower blond
Speaker 17: thing was a moment for me. I'm sorry, but I'm
Speaker 17: laughing because as I'm looking through the photos, there's these
Speaker 17: people vacuuming up the flower, and it's taking me down
Speaker 17: every time I see someone with an actual vacuum vacuuming
Speaker 17: up the flower.
Speaker 2: But all that to say, I'm not surprised, Yeah, clean
Speaker 2: it up. Yeah, I'm not surprised at all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm curious to hear from you guys, any
Speaker 3: any zech gang, what are stories like this that you
Speaker 3: always suspected were an inside job? There there have been
Speaker 3: rumors that Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian's sex tape leaks
Speaker 3: were both you know, things that they did that you
Speaker 3: know what, whether it was an inside job or not,
Speaker 3: both like exploded their careers and to the stratosphere.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 2: So Paris Hilton say that wasn't she wasn't a part
Speaker 2: of that. She has come out and said that, but
Speaker 2: it's always been rumored that so, right because because Joe
Speaker 2: was that wasn't Yeah, because I feel like the guy
Speaker 2: she was with is like a total yeah creditor, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know what other things. I mean, I'm not
Speaker 2: saying this is an inside job. But when the Caitlyn
Speaker 2: Jenner Vanity fair cover came out, right when she came out,
Speaker 2: that was the day like the renewal of the Patriot
Speaker 2: Act was going on, and there was a lot of
Speaker 2: outrage because Edward Snowden was like being like, you know
Speaker 2: what the NSA is kind of up to. There was
Speaker 2: a huge conversation around surveillance. But the debate like on
Speaker 2: like the day before, there's all this debate going on,
Speaker 2: and then that like they were like trying to get
Speaker 2: the votes right and they finally got it through just
Speaker 2: served as a great It was more of an example
Speaker 2: of a great like pop culture distraction. Was something really
Speaker 2: fucking like despicable as happening. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what
Speaker 2: I always thought. Like when you look at the dates
Speaker 2: of it, you're like, wow, that's I think just more
Speaker 2: serendipitous for the military industrial complex and surveillance state. Right then,
Speaker 2: Caitlyn Jenner ends up being a Republican politician. Yeah right,
Speaker 2: and then you're like and then the end, it's like
Speaker 2: it wasn't op right, Just so you know, I feel
Speaker 2: like Julia Fox was never interested in Kanye, but that's
Speaker 2: not necessarily something I think was a setup that just
Speaker 2: seems like self serving, like social climbing of the lowest
Speaker 2: common denominator variety. Yeah, but I don't know what other
Speaker 2: you know, like, was it Tom Cruise jumping up and
Speaker 2: down on the couch that felt contrived?
Speaker 7: That did?
Speaker 2: Or was that real? You know, like where do we
Speaker 2: land on that? I think that was a deep scream level,
Speaker 2: like the media ran with something because they're ready to
Speaker 2: pile on you're doing the opposite.
Speaker 3: And because he when you picture that moment in your mind,
Speaker 3: what do you see, Like do you see him jumping
Speaker 3: up and down on the couch, It's trampoline?
Speaker 2: Yeah, in my mind, I think.
Speaker 3: So what Actually he jumped on the couch, stood there
Speaker 3: for a second, and then jumped off. Like when you
Speaker 3: go back and watch it, it's somewhat underwhelming. He just
Speaker 3: hop Yeah, he hopped on and hopped on. He's like,
Speaker 3: I'm not saying the version that came through into the
Speaker 3: like collective consciousness was earned by just like his being
Speaker 3: intense to a degree that it's like, well, that person's
Speaker 3: really not human and their careers built on them portraying
Speaker 3: humans up to that point. And since then, Tom Cruise
Speaker 3: has been like, all right, what if my thing is
Speaker 3: just I'm the most intense person and I will die
Speaker 3: for you to watch my movie. But I think I
Speaker 3: don't think the media had to work too hard on
Speaker 3: that one as opposed to the Dan scream. I but
Speaker 3: I do think that that one wasn't It was just
Speaker 3: people were ready to be like this person is We're
Speaker 3: out on Tom.
Speaker 15: Cruise, right, Okay, yeah that's my theory anyway. But yeah,
Speaker 15: he's say I love my wife or did he say
Speaker 15: I love that woman? I love that woman, I believe
Speaker 15: is what I remember.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was That's a lot, very believable, very believable. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of that's a lot of drugs, honey.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know Ortn's you know, Yeah, I think
Speaker 3: he's just got the natural He's got that CEO energy,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because he's like, yeah, if if he weren't an actor,
Speaker 2: he'd be like some billionaire who like, you know, like
Speaker 2: let like millions of people die like under his watch,
Speaker 2: but his.
Speaker 3: Day clapping, you know, like just that right, all right? Well,
Speaker 3: speaking of other movie stars, Mel Gibson is reportedly making
Speaker 3: Passion of the Christ to cruise Control as writer JM.
Speaker 2: But it's not called control but control. Yeah.
Speaker 3: But he's apparently just months away from making a sequel
Speaker 3: to his torture porn blockbuster, The Passion of the Christ.
Speaker 2: He had talked about the what's it about? So this
Speaker 2: is this is interesting.
Speaker 3: So he's talked before about the project and said that
Speaker 3: it's going to be wild and a vast theological experience.
Speaker 3: That is an acid trip, which sounded cool to me,
Speaker 3: much cooler than the first Patch of the Christ. I
Speaker 3: don't know if y'all saw that, but that is the
Speaker 3: least movie like.
Speaker 2: Anti Semitism was a little wacky in that one.
Speaker 15: Oh my God.
Speaker 2: And there's just like no there there's no plot. It's
Speaker 2: just a person getting beat until the thing and look
Speaker 2: in Jim Cavizel is doing great. Now, Yeah, it really
Speaker 2: sent him.
Speaker 3: He also, I'm pretty sure got struck by lightning while
Speaker 3: he was on the cross during the film of that
Speaker 3: movie is like, how many signs do you need like
Speaker 3: this is this is the sort of thing you'll believe in, Like,
Speaker 3: how many side signs that aer a god is up
Speaker 3: there not wanting this to happen do you need if
Speaker 3: that's what you believe him? But anytime anyways, the idea
Speaker 3: is that it will happen in the time between Jesus
Speaker 3: dying and Jesus rising and like some like heaven, hell
Speaker 3: nether world thing. So it's just gonna be a totally
Speaker 3: different genre. It's gonna be a he man.
Speaker 2: I love to see someone really take religious their religion
Speaker 2: and treating with a proper sanctity and respect it deserves
Speaker 2: being like, hey man, what about between Friday and Sunday? Though?
Speaker 2: What the fuck was what was going on in that
Speaker 2: he was in the cave?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Do you think it starts off like Friday? Like it
Speaker 2: starts like the first things he has start out with
Speaker 2: but but but but it's Friday. Yeah, but then they yeah,
Speaker 2: then they have him what like in a I don't know,
Speaker 2: it's I can't believe, like someone's fine and whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's always somebody wants to make Jesus stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so there's a there's a history of people trying
Speaker 3: to make sequels of this because mel Gibson can't like
Speaker 3: copyright the story of Jesus or anti Semitism, so he's
Speaker 3: you know, lots of people been like, hey, this, this
Speaker 3: is a recipe that works. So there was a Christian
Speaker 3: film producer who tried to crab fund forty million dollars
Speaker 3: to make a sequel. It didn't really go anywhere. Most
Speaker 3: fucked up attempt to make a follow up to the
Speaker 3: Passion of the Christ came from the original film screenwriter
Speaker 3: Benedict Fitzgerald. So Benny Fits after the movie came out,
Speaker 3: was not getting any job offers, which is, you know,
Speaker 3: it is one of the most successful movies of all time.
Speaker 3: But on the other hand, the film was let's say
Speaker 3: controversial and also literal garbage is one of the worst movies.
Speaker 3: But also I was just like curious about like what
Speaker 3: was his backstory?
Speaker 2: Was he working?
Speaker 3: Like did he write lethal weapon for and then mel
Speaker 3: Gibson wrote him into this or what not a ton
Speaker 3: of credits, but is from like have you ever seen
Speaker 3: quiz show movie quiz Show where it's.
Speaker 2: Titureau, Yeah, that and this guy who is.
Speaker 3: Like from a famous intellectual family, becomes a famous quiz
Speaker 3: show contestant and gets all the answers, but he's cheating,
Speaker 3: and like, that's what it seems like this person is.
Speaker 3: So his dad is a famous poet critic named Robert Fitzgerald,
Speaker 3: and when he was a kid, Flannery O'Connor babysat him.
Speaker 2: But so he's like literary royalty.
Speaker 3: And this was kind of He worked on a couple
Speaker 3: of TV shows and then this was his biggest thing.
Speaker 3: And then everyone's like, oh man, we really didn't like that.
Speaker 3: So he hasn't been able to get work. But he
Speaker 3: was able to get a big payday by saying, actually, okay,
Speaker 3: what about prequel? Any interested in a prequel? And everyone's like,
Speaker 3: hell no. But he was able to raise money to
Speaker 3: make the movie by turning to a Mexican drug cartel. Okay,
Speaker 3: signs an agreement with them? Was was va they signed
Speaker 3: agreements exactly, was shockingly and curious about, like what what
Speaker 3: are these people? Where's all this money coming from? From
Speaker 3: these people that nobody in Hollywood's ever heard of? And
Speaker 3: the cartel sued him over some money he couldn't pay back,
Speaker 3: and now.
Speaker 2: The cartel suited him. Yes, I like that. The cartel's like, hey, man,
Speaker 2: get a business agreement. This guy's this guy. Yeah, we
Speaker 2: don't know, we don't know how he moves.
Speaker 3: So the cartel signed over the rights to the movie
Speaker 3: to two men, one of whom wanted the other to
Speaker 3: give up his half of the script, and when he refused,
Speaker 3: the other guy kidnapped his brother, with the ransom being
Speaker 3: a faxed note agreeing to give up his half of
Speaker 3: the Passion prequel.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is the movie. This is the movie.
Speaker 2: Why someone's not making this a movie? Just be writing?
Speaker 2: What is happening to stupid ahead, this guy runs a
Speaker 2: bowel the cartel. There's fucking kidnapping over the rights to
Speaker 2: the Passion of the Christ prequel. This is the movie.
Speaker 2: Why is no one making this? Is this option? Has
Speaker 2: someone optioned this because we should? This is actually a
Speaker 2: fantastic movie that you could make, Margo, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: The script was then sold for one million dollars to
Speaker 3: a producer who was immediately questioned by the DEA, and
Speaker 3: then when an arrest was made, the government, like the
Speaker 3: US government, claimed the rights to ten percent of the
Speaker 3: future prophets of Mary, Mother of Christ. The name of
Speaker 3: the movie because it was gonna be all about Mary,
Speaker 3: which they then ended up losing in court, like they
Speaker 3: got sued to give up their rights to it. And
Speaker 3: then after all that, the movie was never made because
Speaker 3: the script had become tainted. But this is the legacy
Speaker 3: of a passionate Christ sequel, which is like, on one level,
Speaker 3: it's like the Titanic sequel, like it's a thing you
Speaker 3: would joke about it. It feels impossible, but yeah I should.
Speaker 2: It's just not a lot. I got to see this
Speaker 2: movie now about this fucking guy going to the card
Speaker 2: tell to make a film that is so awful and
Speaker 2: the downward spiral that ensues. That's That's where I'm at. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, but I just like that the pivot was
Speaker 2: all right, then let's do it like right after they
Speaker 2: take him off the cross until each Sunday. We'll do that. Okay,
Speaker 2: we burned the prequel, but we don't. Nobody has the
Speaker 2: rights to the acid trip in the fucking cave in
Speaker 2: the tomb as it were. That's right, so we'll see. Well,
Speaker 2: I'll be eagerly awaiting that. Talking to Satan the Serpent,
Speaker 2: do you think what is that gonna look? Like, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, how do you even do that?
Speaker 2: That won't I feel like even Christian people who fucked
Speaker 2: with the first one might even be offended by whatever
Speaker 2: the director's depiction is of all this other stuff.
Speaker 3: Oh first, you know what I mean, it's gonna be
Speaker 3: wildly offensive and boring at the same time, Like the first.
Speaker 2: One, Like, is there gonna be a scene where he's like,
Speaker 2: I mean, like going to like a warm hitting the
Speaker 2: camera and then he lands in like a dark void
Speaker 2: where am I Welcome to Hell? Jesus, Like your mind
Speaker 2: unless you can beat me.
Speaker 13: In this fiddling context, James Brown gets a whole sequence
Speaker 13: because he's down there entertaining welcome to Hell and the
Speaker 13: doors open and it's.
Speaker 2: Just Jesus is like what is going on? I mean,
Speaker 2: that would be in a way if you said, there's
Speaker 2: a fucking sequence where Jesus goes in a fucking wormhole
Speaker 2: into a black void which is Hell, and then he
Speaker 2: has a dance battle with James Brown. Yeah, the lights
Speaker 2: pop on. Yeah, I'm like, okay, look, I don't fuck
Speaker 2: with mel Gibson, but this is so absurd. I might
Speaker 2: have to torrent the legal version of the film because
Speaker 2: I might have to see that. Yeah, I would watch
Speaker 2: it just to laugh. Yeah. Yeah, man, well' the wait
Speaker 2: would Jim Cavitzel come back for this? I have to imagine.
Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna object Jim cavisil he's gone
Speaker 3: full right wing mega.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's that gonna do?
Speaker 7: I know?
Speaker 2: I mean talk about controversy on top of controversy. Hey,
Speaker 2: Passion the Christ too, and it'll probably do extremely well
Speaker 2: from conflict marketing. Yeah, so called electric Tumulu. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: is funny to me that.
Speaker 3: It is funny to me that they blamed for for
Speaker 3: the flower bombing, like they're made up villain was an
Speaker 3: animal rights person, Like they're just always they they know, Yeah,
Speaker 3: they have the four D chest mind to know that.
Speaker 3: Like the media wants to blame, like they won't look
Speaker 3: too deep into that. They would love to blame an
Speaker 3: animal rights person. So yeah, there it is. But yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean the conflict the first Passion of the Crisis
Speaker 3: is probably the best example of conflict marketing. Like that
Speaker 3: movie is a monster monster hit. Yeah, and I don't
Speaker 3: like they were churches were being like it is your duty,
Speaker 3: you will go to hell if you don't go out
Speaker 3: and see this movie because isn't it Aramaic and ship?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, we're a whole bunch of different languages.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, I can't wait to see the Shroud of Turin, Like,
Speaker 2: is he gonna use the shroud?
Speaker 6: Is? Like?
Speaker 2: Does he tie that up in like a nice head
Speaker 2: wrap or something like? Yeah? Oh wow, okay, we're starting
Speaker 2: our own Yeah, the three of us about to write
Speaker 2: this script, John, were about to have to get rid.
Speaker 2: All right, that's gonna do it.
Speaker 1: For this week's weekly Zeitgeist, please like and review the
Speaker 1: show If you like, the show.
Speaker 3: Means the world to Miles.
