Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of It
Speaker 1: Trends with Controversy, a play on it it ends with Us,
Speaker 1: But we've already done it ends with Us as a
Speaker 1: trending title. But now we're not talking about it as
Speaker 1: with us. We're talking about the controversy, aren't we. I'm
Speaker 1: a very special guest co host.
Speaker 2: I am so excited. I have so many questions.
Speaker 3: I need to know what is going on with Blake
Speaker 3: Lively and Ryan Reynolds.
Speaker 1: Oh so they're married. Yes, that is that what you mean?
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm done, see you all right?
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 1: So that's that they're married. They have four kids.
Speaker 2: Four kids.
Speaker 3: She had the fourth one in like January or February
Speaker 3: of last year, which plays into this controversy.
Speaker 1: Actually, uh oh, okay.
Speaker 3: So Blake Reynolds or Blake Lively Ryan Reynolds, they both
Speaker 3: have movies coming out or have come out.
Speaker 2: They had.
Speaker 3: Ryan Reynolds had Deadpool and Wolverine, which was very funny
Speaker 3: and I am going to see it again. And I
Speaker 3: did really think it was funny, and there was like
Speaker 3: people in theaters were laughing so hard.
Speaker 2: I missed some of the extra jokes.
Speaker 3: So I'm going to separate the art and the artist
Speaker 3: for the purpose of this controversy explanagh. So I think
Speaker 3: in like twenty nineteen, Jessin Baldani, who you may have
Speaker 3: seen in Jane the Virgin, and he also has like
Speaker 3: an anti toxic masculinity podcast with a large Instagram following,
Speaker 3: and he kind of promotes like men being vulnerable and.
Speaker 2: Gentle and stuff.
Speaker 3: He bought the rights to this Colleen Hoover book Colling
Speaker 3: Hoover is also a controversial figure in twenty nineteen, and
Speaker 3: then they adapted it and then he it was supposed
Speaker 3: to be like his kind of like not vehicle, but
Speaker 3: like his project, and then he brought Blake Lively in.
Speaker 3: But then people started noticing on the press tour he
Speaker 3: was kind of doing it a lot of it alone
Speaker 3: or like independently of the other castmates, like he was
Speaker 3: often featured alone. And then people noticed that like other
Speaker 3: castmates had like unfollowed him. And there was this interview
Speaker 3: with Jenny Slate where she was like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: like he was directing and acting in it at the
Speaker 3: same time, because Jenny Slay is also in the movie,
Speaker 3: and they were like, what do you think about that?
Speaker 3: Like isn't that wild that he was doing both? And
Speaker 3: then but they kind of meant for it as like
Speaker 3: what was it like to work with him? But the
Speaker 3: way she answered was, oh my god, yeah, like I've
Speaker 3: thought about doing two things at once, but i think
Speaker 3: I'm okay with one, Like she fully avoided what it
Speaker 3: was like to work with him, yes, And so people
Speaker 3: are like, this is weird. And then on the press tour,
Speaker 3: Blake Lively made this comment about the rooftop scene having
Speaker 3: been written by Ryan Reynolds, like he was fully invested
Speaker 3: in her work. And also they noticed that the press
Speaker 3: tour was kind of like her. It kind of became
Speaker 3: like a Deadpool and Wolverine press tour as well, like
Speaker 3: they kept referencing that or bringing that in. So they
Speaker 3: were doing like husband and wife press tour together. And
Speaker 3: so she said that he wrote this rooftop scene at
Speaker 3: this event, like she he wrote a full scene, and
Speaker 3: people were like, that's fucking weird, Like he's not in the.
Speaker 1: Movie, right, and so not in the movie. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So at the New York premiere, Blake told e that
Speaker 3: they help each other. We work together so much. The
Speaker 3: iconic rooftop scene, my husband actually wrote it. Nobody knows
Speaker 3: that he wrote it. He works on everything I do.
Speaker 3: I work on everything he does, so his wins, his
Speaker 3: celebrations are mine, and mine are his. He's all over
Speaker 3: this film. But then Christy Hall, who's a screenwriter for
Speaker 3: the movie, was like at the same event, was like,
Speaker 3: as she told Hollywood Reporter, as a writer, probably the
Speaker 3: most difficult scene for me to crack was the rooftop scene.
Speaker 3: I have to say Colleen wrote it perfectly. I wish
Speaker 3: I could have just lifted it from the pages and
Speaker 3: put it in the film, but it's a little too
Speaker 3: long for film languages. And then people came back to
Speaker 3: Christian was like, hey, like Ryan, what about what? Like?
Speaker 3: She made these comments about Ryan, and Christy went, I'm
Speaker 3: very proud of my work, and I do feel like
Speaker 3: the beats that needed to be honored in that scene
Speaker 3: are preserved and they're there. Again, Colleen did it best,
Speaker 3: did it first, and it's from her. I do think
Speaker 3: that scene is a really beautiful reflection of what she
Speaker 3: penned from the beginning, and that she wasn't aware of
Speaker 3: any input from Ryan. She was like, there are a
Speaker 3: couple little things that I thought had been improvised blah
Speaker 3: blah blah. When I saw the cut, I thought that
Speaker 3: was cute. That must have been acute improvising. So if
Speaker 3: I'm being told that Ryan wrote it, that's great, how wonderful.
Speaker 3: There are a few little flourishes, you know, And if
Speaker 3: Ryan it came from Ryan, that's wonderful. So it's kind
Speaker 3: of weird that Blake is like, my husband's in this.
Speaker 3: My husband did this. My husband, my husband, my husband.
Speaker 3: And another thing that Blake has been criticized for on
Speaker 3: this press tour is that I don't know, I feel
Speaker 3: like she has like a side business. I forget what
Speaker 3: it's for, something that she's kind of been like plugging
Speaker 3: it and her relationship with her husband. And then like
Speaker 3: the Deadpool Wolverine, instead of talking about domestic abuse and
Speaker 3: instead of having like a serious tone about what the
Speaker 3: film is about. Yes, Justin Baldani had like is like
Speaker 3: the villain in the film, like he's like it starts
Speaker 3: as this like romantic thing and then turns into abuse,
Speaker 3: which is.
Speaker 2: Often how these relationships start.
Speaker 3: And so Justin Baldni has been going around having the
Speaker 3: correct and appropriate tone being like less than what the
Speaker 3: movie is.
Speaker 2: It's it's why we made it.
Speaker 3: And I'm and if there is someone who is like
Speaker 3: her character, Blake Lively's character, who sees it and makes
Speaker 3: a different choice for herself, that's what this movie is about.
Speaker 2: And he does it in a really eloquent.
Speaker 3: Way, and you know, like and Blake's just been like haha,
Speaker 3: like kind of not exhibiting that she's suffered in any
Speaker 3: way at any point in her life, and so people
Speaker 3: are taking sides. People are confused. There was also like
Speaker 3: a TMZ article about how Blake Lively felt that the
Speaker 3: kissing scene lasted too long, and she's told multiple people
Speaker 3: there are a lot of reasons he made her uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: There was one scene where we had to yeah Baldannie
Speaker 3: where he had to like lift her up and he
Speaker 3: went to his and he has back problems, so he
Speaker 3: went to his onset trainer and asked how much she
Speaker 3: weighed and how he could train himself to protect from
Speaker 3: his back injury. And she felt self conscious about that
Speaker 3: because she just had a baby, and so she was like,
Speaker 3: is he fat shaming me? When really he's like, I
Speaker 3: have a medical issue, And so people are trying to like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm back shaming we're.
Speaker 2: Trying to take sides.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was doing it for himself, so people are
Speaker 3: trying to take sides.
Speaker 2: It's very weird.
Speaker 3: I think it's one of those things where Blake and
Speaker 3: Ryan's kind of Hollywood couple. Time is like in terms
Speaker 3: of like being in the limelight in a positive way.
Speaker 2: Time is up, like people.
Speaker 3: Are starting to find them now yeah, and disconnected and like.
Speaker 1: Yeah inside them since they had that plantation wedding.
Speaker 2: And they had a plantation wedding.
Speaker 3: People are also like all of them are Zionis, including Balgoni,
Speaker 3: so like what are we doing? They're like, why are
Speaker 3: you so invested in these celebrities and taking sides and stuff.
Speaker 3: I'm very interested to see what else comes out, especially
Speaker 3: like once the movie's like done and they're off the
Speaker 3: press tour. I want to see, like how if we
Speaker 3: get any more nuggets from like Jenny Slate you know.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, yeah. I feel like those stories come out
Speaker 1: in like the books that they write after their famous,
Speaker 1: you know, like when they're when they're aged. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: any any have you seen it ends with us?
Speaker 3: No? I'm not sure if I'm going to Okay, I
Speaker 3: don't know if I do. I don't know if it's
Speaker 3: like a movie that i'd see in theaters.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Okay, well you did see the Superhero movie. So you
Speaker 1: are contributing to our descent into an ip fueled healthscape.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty fun. It's a raucous ride into this hellscape.
Speaker 1: Hey, speaking of animal superpowers, right, Wolverine has got animal
Speaker 1: based superpowers. Horses are. They're not like that smart, but
Speaker 1: they're like smarter than we thought. They're like pretty pretty smart.
Speaker 2: They built the pyramids, built the pyramids.
Speaker 1: They're starting from a very like with a Larry, very
Speaker 1: low bar, but so based on their performance in a
Speaker 1: game where they were trying to earn treats by touching
Speaker 1: a card with their snout, horses just leaped up a
Speaker 1: couple levels in terms of our understanding of how smart
Speaker 1: horses are.
Speaker 3: I think it's pretty fucked up that we came up
Speaker 3: with money and then we're trying to force that on
Speaker 3: other animals. We're like, work for your treats. It's no
Speaker 3: longer a barter system or foraging. You have to earn
Speaker 3: this shit.
Speaker 1: And we can tell they're smart because they're responding to
Speaker 1: our money.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so basically the added level of complexity. So
Speaker 1: the way it had been going before they touch card,
Speaker 1: they get treat, and then there was also a stop
Speaker 1: light that if it was on on they wouldn't get
Speaker 1: the treat, and they were trying to determine if the
Speaker 1: horses would notice that the stoplight was not getting them
Speaker 1: the treat, and the horses just kept hammering the card
Speaker 1: with their nose and they were like, well, these horses
Speaker 1: are fucking idiots. Move on to the next animal. But
Speaker 1: then somebody added a new step where you had to
Speaker 1: basically like do a time in the penalty box if
Speaker 1: you hit the card with your nose when the stoplight
Speaker 1: was on. So they added a penalty.
Speaker 3: Okay to the game I am dumber. I'm learning that
Speaker 3: I'm dumber than a horse.
Speaker 2: The other night I had.
Speaker 3: To play a Jeopardy themed show like on stage Oh,
Speaker 3: and the buzzer would punish you if you press the
Speaker 3: button before the host finished this question and pressed his button.
Speaker 2: And I just kept pressing the button.
Speaker 1: I'm too excited.
Speaker 3: I was like, I have the answer, and then I
Speaker 3: wouldn't get the answer because I got penalized by the
Speaker 3: buzzer system.
Speaker 1: It was like starting on Mario Race, where like you
Speaker 1: get panalyzed for touching it before it starts, you have
Speaker 1: to hit it, like right at the moment.
Speaker 2: I can't hold it back.
Speaker 3: At that show, someone told me after from the audience,
Speaker 3: so we're like, you really represented well for the ADHD community.
Speaker 2: And I was like, I haven't been diagnosed with.
Speaker 3: Adh Is this my diagnosed? Since?
Speaker 1: Were you like pressing the button really hard? Is that
Speaker 1: why you can see?
Speaker 3: But also I was being a comedian and yelling out
Speaker 3: silly things and stuff, but that was that's there, And
Speaker 3: like a lot of my friends interpretation of my personality, right,
Speaker 3: I refuse to be diagnosed with one more thing I'm holding.
Speaker 1: We've got plenty full boat diagnoses. It's so anyways, they
Speaker 1: instantly switched strategies in ways that indicate horses have a
Speaker 1: higher level of cognitive reasoning than previously thought possible. Suggests
Speaker 1: that rather than failing to grasp the tenets of the game,
Speaker 1: the horses had understood the rules the whole time, but
Speaker 1: Astuteley had not seen any need to pay more attention
Speaker 1: to the rules in the second stage until there was
Speaker 1: like penalties. So yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: They're like the smart kid that like coast through high
Speaker 3: school and only or like or doesn't care about the
Speaker 3: results in high school because they're too smart for the subject.
Speaker 3: And then once they get to college they're like, oh,
Speaker 3: I actually have to pay attention again, actually learning.
Speaker 1: Yeah so this Brian the editor points out that this
Speaker 1: is highly reminiscent of Clever Hands, which was a horse
Speaker 1: whose owner claimed they were able to perform arithmetic and
Speaker 1: after a formal investigation, do you know that story, Like
Speaker 1: they would like ask a horse how much like three
Speaker 1: plus two is, and then the horse would answer by
Speaker 1: like kicking it to like five times, and people were like,
Speaker 1: this is amazing. Horse is a fucking genius. But then
Speaker 1: they realized that the horse just had like the way
Speaker 1: that people say that like dogs have an incredible like
Speaker 1: innate knack for reading what we want from them, like
Speaker 1: they read human faces really well. They realized that, like
Speaker 1: the it could tell when its human owner wanted it
Speaker 1: to stop kicking basically, and like knew when it was
Speaker 1: like right answer time.
Speaker 3: This is like cop dogs like being told to freak out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah they're racist because the cop is not because
Speaker 1: the dog is racist. But anyways, I don't know, I
Speaker 1: find horses very kind of mysterious and magical, and so
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that there's a lot going on
Speaker 1: back there because like the way they described what the horses,
Speaker 1: what they thought horses were, They're like previously research had
Speaker 1: suggested that horses simply respect on to stimuli in the moment.
Speaker 1: They don't proactively look ahead, think ahead and plan their actions.
Speaker 3: They're just like that is such a like a human
Speaker 3: thing to think though, Like I swear with every every
Speaker 3: animal we as soon as we just like give it
Speaker 3: a benefit of the doubt and try to think outside
Speaker 3: of how we would think about like dominating and like
Speaker 3: because like they don't they don't know what like that
Speaker 3: they have to play a game, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: they don't. This is like when they put the bear
Speaker 3: up against Kobyashi the hot dog eater, and they were
Speaker 3: like Kobyashi's winning, He's winning, and the bears like, I
Speaker 3: don't even know that I have to eat these hot
Speaker 3: dogs right now, Like maybe I don't fucking feel.
Speaker 2: Like it, you know, right, and then in one swoop
Speaker 2: he like beats them.
Speaker 3: But I always feel this way about animals, Like I
Speaker 3: watch I like am part of like a dog rescue,
Speaker 3: and I watch a lot of rescue videos of just
Speaker 3: other animals as well, and like, cows are fucking smart,
Speaker 3: pigs are really smart.
Speaker 2: Like all of these animals have.
Speaker 3: Their own motivation and their own intent and we don't
Speaker 3: like generally allow them to have that. We expect them
Speaker 3: to perform according to our standards, but they're all individuals,
Speaker 3: and so the more you pay attention, like like cows
Speaker 3: love playing, just like dogs love playing, you know, Like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm always I'm always like yeah, that
Speaker 3: that fully makes sense for us.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the cows when they play with us can just
Speaker 1: destroy us and crush our skulls. So we're like, ah,
Speaker 1: let's just protect that they can't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean they're just Brian was saying that
Speaker 3: the horse is being gracious for letting us ride on
Speaker 3: their backs, and it's like literally, like animals are so
Speaker 3: sweet and so loving. I mean, obviously there's predators and
Speaker 3: everything like that, but like the amount of shit they
Speaker 3: let us get away with because we have negative intentions
Speaker 3: but they don't.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, like fucking wild that, like great white sharks
Speaker 1: have even been discovered to be like much nicer than
Speaker 1: anybody thought. Yeah, it's literally the guys who's like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just have like generally good vibes and I like
Speaker 1: can swim with great white sharks and they don't heart me.
Speaker 1: Like we have to create movies where it's like, oh no,
Speaker 1: this bear is I mean, bears will eat your ass.
Speaker 1: But like you know, uh, I mean, especially right the
Speaker 1: joke we're going to the break on, We'll be right
Speaker 1: and we're back. Wow. Brian the Editor is revealing himself
Speaker 1: to be a real col lover. Cals love music. Some
Speaker 1: of the best YouTube content is cows just vibing to music.
Speaker 3: I definitely read that as best because he said Whitey
Speaker 3: and I definitely read that it's the best white content content.
Speaker 1: Yea of the best content that Whitey's are making is
Speaker 1: more cow bell. Hey, speaking of content Whitey's are making
Speaker 1: on YouTube, mister beasts, Uh.
Speaker 2: That was incredible. Give it up for that transition.
Speaker 1: Thank you. So he is doing a real world squid game.
Speaker 1: He saw a squid game and was like, damn, that
Speaker 1: is great content, just the game.
Speaker 2: Part missing the entire point of.
Speaker 1: Ignoring the dystopia moral detail that was the whole point.
Speaker 1: He's like, Wow, those rich guys had a great idea
Speaker 1: for content, so he brought one thousand contestants from ages
Speaker 1: eighty two down to gen Z to Las Vegas to
Speaker 1: fight for a five million dollar prize. Round one to
Speaker 1: the death.
Speaker 3: Actually yeah, it was to murder each other.
Speaker 1: So they all got there and he was like, psych,
Speaker 1: it's actually two thousand of you. So it's like I've
Speaker 1: changed your odds, like made them way worse right off
Speaker 1: the bat without telling you. Then the games began and
Speaker 1: it apparently had more in common with like firefest thing
Speaker 1: you might have inspect Two of the contestants who were
Speaker 1: on a team that got eliminated said that it was
Speaker 1: a challenge to get adequate sleep, food, water, and medication
Speaker 1: for dinner. Quote. I had gotten a hard boiled egg,
Speaker 1: two slices of cucumber, and basically one third of a
Speaker 1: stick of celery that was also cut in two thirds,
Speaker 1: two Carris diet and a quarter cup of plain oatmeal
Speaker 1: which sucks. Water was not readily available. They were giving
Speaker 1: cans of liquid death too. They're giving cans of liquid
Speaker 1: death to drink on camera though, because they were a sponsor,
Speaker 1: and of course feastables Mister Beast's snack brand to eat
Speaker 1: in front of the camera.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, mister beast is like what twenty four or
Speaker 3: something like that. Yes, he should not have two thousand
Speaker 3: children to take care of, like two thousand dependents in
Speaker 3: your home or wherever the squid game's warehouse is like,
Speaker 3: he should not be in charge. I know, Like it's insane.
Speaker 3: He's the head of like a big giant corporation. You're
Speaker 3: never going to guess that. You'd never guess that. It's
Speaker 3: a total disaster like that. There's all sorts of.
Speaker 1: Like harassment, and he was just like, oh, I guess
Speaker 1: I'm going to hire like a head of HR that's
Speaker 1: like the big multi million dollar company he had even
Speaker 1: at somebody.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of stuff coming out about him.
Speaker 3: There is a part of his con a contract that
Speaker 3: or part of like the the information that people read
Speaker 3: when they join the team, and one section said no
Speaker 3: doesn't always mean no, And it wasn't in reference to
Speaker 3: like the type of consent that you would expect, but
Speaker 3: it was in reference to like getting their YouTube content.
Speaker 3: Like if you go in and you ask to use
Speaker 3: a place or you ask somebody to do something, like
Speaker 3: they may say no right away. But keep trying to
Speaker 3: get them to participate in the YouTube content or something
Speaker 3: like that, Yeah, which is problematic in and of itself,
Speaker 3: but also the fact that this individual became such a
Speaker 3: megacorp type person, like that should be no, that phrase
Speaker 3: should be nowhere near any any orientation materials you have,
Speaker 3: Like that is insane.
Speaker 1: And then it's also like what drives the content, Like
Speaker 1: if you've watched his content, it is people doing terrifying
Speaker 1: things or just like grueling things for money.
Speaker 3: It's it's coercion, Like it's manipulation of manufactured consent in
Speaker 3: a way almost.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is why people like it so much. They're like, hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is like what my parents have to do every day.
Speaker 3: There's also another individual who was interviewed kind of like
Speaker 3: its own weird YouTube video where it was like edited
Speaker 3: in a weird way by the person interviewing. But there
Speaker 3: was a person, Jake something, who had done a lot
Speaker 3: of content with him like a few years ago, and
Speaker 3: then like asked for more money for his friend who's
Speaker 3: a father, and like they both got fired and they
Speaker 3: asked for more money, and he felt really guilty about that,
Speaker 3: but like he did he kept being desperate to be
Speaker 3: featured in the videos and he got finally he got
Speaker 3: his break, and they put him in solitary confinement, and
Speaker 3: it wasn't like full solitary confinement in that like they
Speaker 3: occasionally he would ask like there was like very limited interaction,
Speaker 3: but they kept the lights on, which fucked up his
Speaker 3: sleep because they wanted to get enough video. They did
Speaker 3: it for like thirty day. They were supposed to do
Speaker 3: it for like thirty days. He didn't last that long
Speaker 3: because he was becoming like mentally more and more unstable,
Speaker 3: which it is like Geneva conventions like warfare shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he does war crimes to you for money, like yeah,
Speaker 1: and you try and win money, and he.
Speaker 3: Was like asking for things they weren't giving him. He
Speaker 3: like didn't like like a lot of YouTube videos are faked,
Speaker 3: so it's like insane that they couldn't just like fake
Speaker 3: this one too, because that's all also come out that
Speaker 3: the Misterbeats videos are fake.
Speaker 2: But we all kind of knew that they.
Speaker 1: Were going to actually excerpt this for an advertisement for
Speaker 1: Mister Beasts, being like I can't believe they're not fake.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, like I accidentally signed something by joining us soon.
Speaker 3: But he like really basically like tortured the friend he
Speaker 3: was supposed to get, Like, however many hundreds of thousands
Speaker 3: of dollars he got less than that because he didn't
Speaker 3: last the whole time. He made him complete just like
Speaker 3: horrible challenges, Like one was him running a marathon in
Speaker 3: solitary confinement, and that I think was like his breaking
Speaker 3: point because he didn't have any training.
Speaker 2: He was in this fucking room, you know, and and.
Speaker 3: He did it because like he like he was out
Speaker 3: of he was mentally like broken down. And also all
Speaker 3: this money was dangled over him, like the longer he stayed,
Speaker 3: the more challenges he did, the more money he got.
Speaker 2: So it was just fucking insane. And then Brian is
Speaker 2: also bringing.
Speaker 3: Up there's a pedophile association with mister Beasts and his
Speaker 3: like group of friends and stuff.
Speaker 2: I don't know, yeah, yeah, don't.
Speaker 1: Left the company. That's like the big thing that they're
Speaker 1: you know, in crisis mode on. They have like an
Speaker 1: external law firm that is like looking into it. But
Speaker 1: the person who is this, you know, the source of
Speaker 1: the the person who's alleged to have committed the acts,
Speaker 1: is like one of the main people on camera and
Speaker 1: like a big person at the company, h Ava Chris Tyson.
Speaker 1: So that's yeah, it just seems like there's a lot of.
Speaker 3: It seems like there needs to be like a proper yeah,
Speaker 3: like hr proper legal, proper whatever.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the proper like unionized shoots. Like that's the
Speaker 1: other thing is that he goes out of his way
Speaker 1: to like have non unionized shoots, and like the shit is,
Speaker 1: like people are getting hurt on the in these challenges,
Speaker 1: Like according to The New York Times, more than a
Speaker 1: dozen people were injured while filming filming the first portion
Speaker 1: of the Beast Games in Las Vegas that we were
Speaker 1: talking about, where they were fed like carrot sticks. One
Speaker 1: contestant told the Times that she left bruised and bleeding,
Speaker 1: and the consolation prize was like they each were given
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars, but they were only giving it on
Speaker 1: camera and then asked to give give it back like
Speaker 1: off camera, and they were like, you'll get your money later.
Speaker 1: We so sorry, We just like don't have the money
Speaker 1: on us right now.
Speaker 3: The main ethos of the show has nothing to do
Speaker 3: with helping people. Like when I didn't know anything about
Speaker 3: mister Bass, when I saw that he was giving like
Speaker 3: a thousand people there or one hundred people their vision
Speaker 3: back whatever it was, yeah, for cataracts, And I was like,
Speaker 3: that's fucking great. Like I don't care about charity in
Speaker 3: public as long as those people consent and as long
Speaker 3: as like good things come from it. But it's very
Speaker 3: obvious that, especially from this conversation with that Jake person,
Speaker 3: that like mister Beasts would come in and say like
Speaker 3: what he thought like a human should say in order
Speaker 3: to get the like to feel like he's on like
Speaker 3: he's not going to get in trouble or be like
Speaker 3: on the right side of things or not have people
Speaker 3: say he didn't say or do certain things, you know,
Speaker 3: But it seems like the main thing is to like
Speaker 3: get his content. He's been making YouTube videos of him
Speaker 3: like like doing shit to himself and his friends since
Speaker 3: he was a child. Like this is not a normal
Speaker 3: avenue or like a normal motivation for a career to
Speaker 3: like fuck people over on camera essentially, So like he's
Speaker 3: like the amount of empathy he has, I'm very unsure of.
Speaker 1: He's the most famous person with like kids who are
