1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: trendy Complexifire, which is complexify, the term that Jeff Bezos

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 1: came up with because he is telling the truth. You

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: can tell he's telling the truth because he's making up

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: smart sounding words that don't actually mean anything. Yeah, my

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: name is Jack O'Brien. Have we met? And that over

7
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: there that is Miles Ray.

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 2: Oh you're Jack.

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: I'm jackokes a lot, I'm Jack O'Brien. Yeah, Hey, do Miles?

10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: Good to be on time? The anchorman reference? Yeah, always

11
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: do you say all?

12
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 2: Good to be on top?

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: Yeah? Good to be on time? Man?

14
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 3: La Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you're referencing the zoom window

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 3: the stacked video I am are you also?

16
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: Actually you're always on top of me?

17
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: Wow? Well good?

18
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, Dodgers babe, Look, it could be a wonderful

19
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: night except for the local of Los Angeles, when there

20
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: would inevitably be a homebrew pyrotechnic shows going off if

21
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 3: the Dodgers end up winning tonight.

22
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: Homebrew. Yeah, it is fun. It's a good time, little pops.

23
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: We need it.

24
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: We needed it. We needed it in La. We needed this.

25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 1: If we win. If if we win, we haven't had

26
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: anything to celebrate in a long time. I do just

27
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: want to give the context of Jeff Bazins's So Jeff

28
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: Bezos told the Washington Post, we're not endorsing a candidate.

29
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: You guys are gonna fucking burn me, is what I

30
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: suspect it went like when he told them the decision

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: this is also being linked to the La Times' decision

32
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: to not endorse a candidate, but that one is actually

33
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: at least the daughter of one of the owners is

34
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: saying that that one is in relation to the Democratic

35
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: Party complicity and the genocide in Gaza, so that that

36
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: feels a little different. That's what Wait, that's the explaination

37
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: of Times. That's the explanation for the La Times given

38
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: by the daughter of the owner.

39
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: It's kind of a weird.

40
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: So then, oh, so he was saying, I can't stand

41
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: idly by while you endorse this candidate.

42
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: That's Alec Erickott Sanis was like that, don't treat these

43
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: two things as the same thing. Former guest Alec Hurrickott

44
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: Santas was like the La Times making that stance versus

45
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos making this stance with the Washington Post. He

46
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: was saying he believes those to be two different things.

47
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: I haven't dug into the reality behind the La Times one,

48
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: but we we didn't really need to dig too deep

49
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: for the reality behind the Washington Post one because Jeff

50
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: Bezos came out and was like, guys, let me explain

51
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: what's going on here. And the part that contains the

52
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: word complexifire is I once wrote that the Post is

53
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: a complex afire. For me, it is, but it turns

54
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: out I'm also a complexifier for the Post. That is

55
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: two sentences that are in his op ed explaining why

56
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: they didn't do an endorsement. He says they didn't do

57
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: an endorsement because the media is very unpopular, and he

58
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: just thinks that it's not the reason they're unpopular is

59
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: because they're so partisan and they just need to be

60
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: more both sides about the whole thing.

61
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, great great.

62
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: The entire op ed written by Jeff Bezo stinks like shit,

63
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: I would say stinks like both shit and bullshit, all

64
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: the type of It's an amazing potpourri of all the shit.

65
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: So he like it's definitely because he wants to kiss

66
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: the ass of the eventual Emperor God in case he

67
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: wins and his assumption that he's saying is they don't

68
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: trust the media because they endorse presidential candidates, and definitely

69
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: can't be that people don't trust the media because they're

70
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: owned by the richest man in the world and have

71
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: been shown to be biased by his whims, or because

72
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: they will, you know, refuse to honestly report on a

73
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: genocide as it's happening, and definitely not because there's a

74
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: fascist who is out there. Yeah, I don't know it's

75
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: so he's claiming it's because they picked aside in the

76
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: presidential election and only presidential elections, by the way, because

77
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: the Post has endorsed other candidates in other races this year,

78
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: so it's only the presidential election. Which that's the detail

79
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: that like kind of puts the lie to the whole thing,

80
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: because like obviously small local races don't matter to him

81
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: as a you know, the second richest person on the planet.

82
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: Like that's not going to affect what he's able to do.

83
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: The one that's going to affect him is being on

84
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: the bad of Trump when Trump becomes America's first dictator,

85
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: like first full blown open dictator. But I just this

86
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: also reminded me of one of the anecdotes from the

87
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: Susan B. Glasser article about Trump's billionaire donors, and it's

88
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: about how like this person basically got access to Trump

89
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: and lied to him about like how Amazon operates with

90
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: the US Postal Service and was able to use Trump's

91
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: hatred of Bezos as the because Bezos owns the Washington

92
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: Post to set worst terms like trick Trump into thinking

93
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: that they were getting too sweet a deal to Trump,

94
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: like the article says, Trump's staff tried to figure out

95
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: what Peltz's interest was in the matter. Pelts's the billionaire

96
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: turned out that try on fund management. Peltz's asset management

97
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: firm had recently taken a three point five billion dollar

98
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: stake in Procter and Gamble, the consumer products Gi pelt

99
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: an activist investor who buys his way into corporate leadership roles,

100
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: often by prompting proxy fights, considered Amazon's purchase of Whole

101
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: Foods a threat to his business when to Seber twenty nine,

102
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, as a result of him telling Trump all

103
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: these untrue things about how good Amazon had it with

104
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: REGARDSS to like how the Post Office trees him, Trump tweeted,

105
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: why is the United States Post Office, which is losing

106
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: many billions of dollars a year while charging Amazon and

107
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: others so live little to deliver their packages, making Amazon

108
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: richer and the post Office dumber and poorer, should be

109
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: charging much more. So it's just like these billionaires can

110
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: just lie to Trump get a better deal from him,

111
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: and so this is what they're all going to do.

112
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: They're all going to kiss his ass. Like billionaires are

113
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: going to line up and kiss the ass of Donald Trump.

114
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: We're not going to have the same thing where like

115
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: corporations are like now more than ever, we're going to

116
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: stand with the American people than ever.

117
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 2: You can get fucked because you were we are.

118
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 1: On his side. Yeah, exactly. So, I mean we're already

119
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: of corporatocracy, and all of the corporations are going to

120
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: fall into line with Trump once he starts ruling.

121
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 3: Any publicly traded company, that's for sure. I could see

122
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 3: maybe private companies having a bit more of a spine,

123
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: but anything that's traded on Wall Street, there's no that's just.

124
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: Going to be like, you're gonna make the line go down.

125
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: So look for us on Patreon in the future. Uh.

126
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: Trump is already claiming fraud in the election. It's not

127
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: like we had any question whether he was going to

128
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: pull this shit. It was obviously just a matter of when.

129
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: And the answer is exactly a week before the election.

130
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, good time. These are timed.

131
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: These are timed truths that he truthed on his social Yeah,

132
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 3: I believe probably about them.

133
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: Weeks ago.

134
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: He truths that they received thousands of potentially fraudulent voter

135
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: registration forms, the mail in ballid applications from a third

136
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: party group.

137
00:07:59,480 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 3: Uh.

138
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: And this is on top of Lancaster County being caught

139
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: with two six hundred fakes ballots and forms.

140
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,679
Speaker 3: Fuck all this noise, because there's real news about actual

141
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 3: ballot boxes being destroyed by split on fire like that's

142
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 3: and it's happening in places where they're like there's gonna

143
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: be there's a bunch of Harris votes in there, fucking

144
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 3: light it up. That's maybe deserve well, I mean, obviously

145
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: he's not going to pay attention to that because he's

146
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 3: you know, been for the last four years slowly motivating

147
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 3: people to do more and more extreme shit like this.

148
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, but he's got to start the argument

149
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: early that like they're the ones getting fucked over because

150
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,599
Speaker 1: it does feel like increasingly a part of their strategy

151
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: is like violent intervention on behalf of him with regrets

152
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: like either how voting takes place, like voter intimidation or

153
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: how votes are counted and collected, and you know, pull

154
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: worker intimidation. So it's just I don't it truly feels

155
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: like there is a real possibility where something horrible happens.

156
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: Like you mentioned, there's already like attacks on like people

157
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: putting incendiary devices in what person? I guess it's one

158
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: person who did it in Portland and Vancouver, Washington. Uh

159
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:25,120

00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.

161
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: But in better news, the viral dress is bad.

00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: is it white and gold?

167
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: I never saw a white and gold dress. I'm not saying,

168
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 3: I just and it always looked black.

169
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: I was able to eventually see a white and gold

170
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: dress after like working really hard, But I don't with

171
00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 1: your therapist, Yeah, it's been years. Do you know what talk?

172
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: It is white? And gold also.

173
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: So that was twenty fifteen when our biggest concern was

174
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: whether or not some strangers dress was black and blue

175
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: or white and gold. And it's gone viral again because

176
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: a woman found quote the dress at a yard sale

177
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: and shared her experience on TikTok. So. She was interviewed

178
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: by Newsweek and said the dress was one of the

179
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: first items I saw when I walked up to the

180
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: yard sale. I immediately screamed, Oh my goodness, you have

181
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: the dress. The owners and the other neighbors had a

182
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: nice laugh at my expressive reaction upon seeing it. I

183
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: don't know why she speaks like a seventh grader's book report,

184
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: but my expressive reaction upon seeing After being inundated with comments,

185
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: Rubinstein decided to settle the nearly decade old debate once

186
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: and for all and showed people that the dress is

187
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: actually black and blue, which we fucking knew.

188
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,479
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, you have the dress.

189
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: It's her reaction seems to assume that there first of all,

190
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: that there is only one of the dresses, and second

191
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: of all, that it has magical properties, which.

192
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 3: Right, it's like, sorry, I hate to do this to y'all,

193
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 3: but here we this is unadulterated there it is black

194
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 3: and blue sorroom.

195
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: So anyway, shout out to her. I want to live

196
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: inside her brand for the next three weeks. Maybe it

197
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: feels like a nice place.

198
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 3: Now enjoy it, now, enjoy it now, enjoy it now,

199
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 3: because if you fast forward, there's reality on that side.

200
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 2: Right now. This is that liminal space where we're just.

201
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: Like this again.

202
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 2: This is the last Tuesday before whatever happens.

203
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: Do you just give me the lecture from the end

204
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: of click? Uh?

205
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 2: No, is that what happens in it.

206
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back and

207
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: you're back. Would you do a click? Would you have

208
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: we talked about this? Would you fast forward to the next.

209
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 3: I think I mentioned it a couple of weeks ago

210
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 3: and you said, oh, you want to do a click?

211
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 2: And I was like, I haven't seen those lesser Sandler films.

212
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I haven't seen it, but I'm aware of

213
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: the premise.

214
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: Oh, it's like a time traveling remote.

215
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,239
Speaker 1: You can fast forward.

216
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 2: Stop.

217
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: So if you stop, everybody does no, I don't know,

218
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: but keeps fast forwarding too much. And then he's like

219
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: missus his old life, and it's really a commentary on

220
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: how we use our phones.

221
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 3: Just don't yeah, don't abuse benzo diazepines, and you will

222
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: also cease time traveling.

223
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: Got to wake up to take more benza. I gotta

224
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: wake up from my Benzo hayes to take more benza.

225
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: That way I can fast forward another week.

226
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: But yes, Miles, big news out of the Vatican, thank you,

227
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: the first White House, the President of the world, the post.

228
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: So this is kind of the theological equivalent of the

229
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: meme of Steve Boushammy holding a skateboard? Is that also

230
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: a Sandler movie? No, that's thirty Rock, that's right.

231
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 3: No.

232
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,480

233
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: named Loose l u c which will which it feels

234
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: like they're halfway to Lucifer, but it will help them

235
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: quote engage with the pop culture so beloved by our

236
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: young people, and so what now they rather than being

237
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: more open minded, they've just been like, what if we

238
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: had a doll that homophobic? Bring kids? They're just like

239
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: little anime characters with crucifixes.

240
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 3: This looks like some chat GPT bullshit, Like this is

241
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: so uninteresting looking.

242
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sucks, but cool, And they have a like

243
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: little flying angel baby thing. But the little flying angel

244
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: baby thing has a baseball at do they have do

245
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:06,560

00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 2: Loose and then like Ifer.

248
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: And Bzl the Morning Star. H This is not the

249
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: first time the Catholic Church has awkwardly tried to appeal

250
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: to nerds. Lest we forget the time they worked with

251
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: Marvel to create a comic about Pope John Paul the

252
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: Second I don't know if we don't know if we

253
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: all remember that, but that was big news in my

254
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: Catholic Oh, I have.

255
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: The Life of Pope John Paul won one issue one.

256
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Yeah, that's huge.

257
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: It's going for under retail right now.

258
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: It was just about his life. But like the cover

259
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: really makes him look They make him look very handsome.

260
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: It looks like George W. Bush playing the Pope for Halloween.

261
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's kind of giving too much sexual charisma

262
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: for a pope. I think in the way they've drawn him.

263
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: Well for how sexually repressed the people and then the

264
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 3: people of Cloth are, I can imagine it just it

265
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 3: just like it's just great energy around them.

266
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Brian the editor points out, Lucifer means light Bringer,

267
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: So probably named after Lucifer and the Catholic Church. You know,

268
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: they probably get that kids like to be a little edgy. Yeah,

269
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: oh Lucifer.

270
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 2: It our neck feels broken.

271
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: Oh god, all right.

272
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 2: Terrible Sopranos reference.

273
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: Yes, and then this is a big news for our podcast.

274
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: So we talk about subway every once in a while,

275
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: but this is serious. Subway is being sued for skipping

276
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: on the meats. Skipping on the meats.

277
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 3: Class auction lawsuit for quote, grossly misleading customers with ads

278
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 3: that depict far more meat in their sandwiches than what

279
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 3: you actually get. And that's true because I mean, they

280
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: also looked better when the U gouge. But that's a

281
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 3: whole that's an old, old school subway head take. But yeah,

282
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 3: it's the last time I went to you gouge.

283
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember the U gage. That was when they

284
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: really slopped it on there. Man.

285
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they really slapped that turtle meat or tuna

286
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 3: or whatever it is.

287
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: Who cares it tastes like tuna. People online keep posting

288
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: videos and they are talking about subway sandwich shrinkage. Wow,

289
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: it's it's not shrinkage because the sandwich isn't sting. It's

290
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: it could be like shrink flation, but yeah, shrinkage is

291
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: meant to refer to George Costanza's dick.

292
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, obviously, Yeah that's just a big misstep, big misstep.

293
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: But it's yeah, I mean it's pretty hard to argue

294
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: against this, like when you see like the Today Show

295
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: covered it and it just went from commercial to like

296
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: somebody showing what they were just given.

297
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 3: It's yeah, here, it's it is a it is a

298
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 3: good clip because I mean, I think it's just a

299
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 3: like a trope in our culture, is like what I

300
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 3: ordered versus what I got kind of shit.

301
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: But like my wife is always doing Instagram posts about

302
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: that with REGARDSS to me, me is that I think

303
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: it's cute, but I haven't watched them all the way.

304
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 3: Oh my god, you are not working that jacket. Like

305
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 3: the guy in the ad was Jack, just give it back.

306
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 3: But yeah, here's here's a here's a bit of sandwich

307
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 3: skimping audio what and.

308
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 2: The suit says, look, subway customers have noticed.

309
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,959
Speaker 1: Okay, people are just showing sandwich and it is just

310
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: it looks slic bread. It looks like the bread, subway bread,

311
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: like the subway roll that has been stepped on.

312
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, like fully, like to the point where I don't

313
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,800
