Speaker 1: your boys.
Speaker 3: Uh you want to kick us off? You want to
Speaker 3: kick us off? Oh you had underrated first. I'll do
Speaker 3: my underrated first.
Speaker 2: Underrated just a just a bowling date. Oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: I so her majesty and I we hit Barbie. We
Speaker 3: went to this new We went to this mall that
Speaker 3: was like kind of further out because's where were gonna
Speaker 3: get tickets And I hadn't really been to this mall.
Speaker 2: It's gigantic.
Speaker 3: Okay, this I've never been to a mall so big,
Speaker 3: like in La I was kind of surprised that growing
Speaker 3: up this is the Santa Anita mall. For full disclosure, Uh,
Speaker 3: it was gigantic, and there's like a daven Busters an
Speaker 3: AMC and like a bowlero or some shit on like
Speaker 3: the same spot. So after we saw the movie, we're like,
Speaker 3: you know, my mom was watching the kids, so I was.
Speaker 2: Like, let's let's like, let's just do a little bowling.
Speaker 3: Wow, there's something so fucking pure. I don't know for
Speaker 3: me personally about bowling. I think it's just good, clean fun,
Speaker 3: and I think it's I'd be getting nostalgic for it
Speaker 3: because it's kind of like one of those places you go,
Speaker 3: like you do a lot for like birthday parties when
Speaker 3: you're like in grade school, like some kid has like
Speaker 3: a bowling birthday party, and then naturally, as you get
Speaker 3: older and you start going on dates, bowling alleys are
Speaker 3: kind of like the first place you go to because
Speaker 3: because child, because you're not getting a bar or club
Speaker 3: or whatever. So I don't know, that's such a good
Speaker 3: time bowling and I.
Speaker 2: Fucking suck a ball. It's fucking disturbing. I'm so bad,
Speaker 2: like and I'm I'm not joking. I hit.
Speaker 3: I threw a gutter ball every frame, every frame, every frame,
Speaker 3: like one gutter bar. Then I get, then I hit
Speaker 3: like then i'd then I hit a strike, or then
Speaker 3: I hit or I guess it's a spare at that
Speaker 3: point or eight pins nine pins. I just, for whatever
Speaker 3: reason I get, I'm fucking wildly inconsistent and I need helps.
Speaker 3: I gang if you're bowling, ze gang. Honestly, I need
Speaker 3: to be better at bowling because I've never seen such
Speaker 3: a hence bowling game between two people where the score
Speaker 3: that one was fifty eight, but.
Speaker 1: It was Man, bowling may be clean, fun the way
Speaker 1: you do it, but I get dirty on the lanes. Man,
Speaker 1: I get get greasy down there in those lanes. You
Speaker 1: get a bowling no no, no, no no no no. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well so I have, but I'm like inconsistent. I think
Speaker 1: anyone who doesn't bowl a lot you can get on
Speaker 1: streaks where you're.
Speaker 2: Really locked in.
Speaker 1: And yeah, my wife and I went to a like
Speaker 1: did a bowling date in the past year at like
Speaker 1: a retro.
Speaker 2: Bowling lane or yah in Highland Park. I think, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, figure out, and yeah I had some good
Speaker 2: frames there.
Speaker 1: I one time went I went bowling U two stones
Speaker 1: back in my younger years, and I couldn't even make
Speaker 1: it to the arrows on the lane, like it would
Speaker 1: just go directly into the utter, like just.
Speaker 2: Like two inches like on the release just.
Speaker 1: Got Yeah, there was just like some weird mental block
Speaker 1: that I had it.
Speaker 2: I just like couldn't.
Speaker 1: Like the people I was asking or I was bowling with,
Speaker 1: were asking me like, are you are you fucking serious?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like how the fuck you damn it?
Speaker 3: Were you doing the thing where you were like whipping
Speaker 3: it to do like you'll like it like between the
Speaker 3: legs like ramost.
Speaker 2: Out of my own way? Ye? Yeah, I do.
Speaker 1: Every single time I bowl, I try and do the
Speaker 1: thing where h you roll one normal speed and then
Speaker 1: the other really slow and try and get a strike
Speaker 1: on both of them.
Speaker 2: Oh end up hurling around the other one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah that was happening for me. But anyway, Uh,
Speaker 3: if you got tips, please let me know. I did everything.
Speaker 3: I shifted boards. I'm trying to just have my release goes.
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I'm I'm I'm fucking wildly.
Speaker 2: Are you trying to put the stink on it? Are
Speaker 2: you trying to know? No? Yeah, I just go straight.
Speaker 3: There were these people in the lane next to me, right,
Speaker 3: these like dudes were so agro with it. They were
Speaker 3: just as shitty, but they could not get out of
Speaker 3: their like tough guy bowling style to just fucking whip
Speaker 3: it down the lane.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like with wild ass spin.
Speaker 3: Like one guy at one point hit like a really
Speaker 3: clean strike with a wild spin on. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 3: maybe this motherfucker knows he's doing. Then the next five
Speaker 3: were just like chaotic. So like I tried to go
Speaker 3: much more like out. Yeah, Like I was much more
Speaker 3: conscientious about like where I was, what I was doing.
Speaker 2: Anyway, all that to say, shout out bowling.
Speaker 1: Shout out bowling. My underrated is personalized license plates. I'd
Speaker 1: never do it, but I'm never not intrigued by a
Speaker 1: personalized license plate. They like people just give us little
Speaker 1: puzzles to solve while we're stuck in traffic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, where you get to be like, what sort of
Speaker 2: personality disorder does this person have? What are you into? Yeah,
Speaker 2: what's this distillation of who you are? What's the best
Speaker 2: one you saw recently?
Speaker 1: Well, so I I saw one that just said big
Speaker 1: mad on a drive the other day and I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, okay, so I know where you're coming from.
Speaker 2: I saw and they just said, no wife, ladies, you know,
Speaker 2: no wife.
Speaker 1: And then I went looking for personalized plates this morning
Speaker 1: on the internet and they found one that was jizz Lord.
Speaker 1: But people are assuming that it meant Jay is like
Speaker 1: Jesus is, but they give but they came through with
Speaker 1: the dizz Lord, which I you know again, I would
Speaker 1: love to encounter that in the wild on these streets.
Speaker 2: Oh man, you got an overrated for me, overrated man.
Speaker 3: So getting drunk and fighting people at an exhibition soccer.
Speaker 1: Match, so you have a swollen shut black eye right now?
Speaker 2: Hell no.
Speaker 3: So over the weekend, right there was an exhibition game
Speaker 3: between Manchester United and Arsenal. There was a and this
Speaker 3: was in New Jersey like at the Meadowlands or whatever
Speaker 3: it's called now Metal Life Field or whatever the fuck
Speaker 3: is called uh, and Arsenal fans started fucking fighting each
Speaker 3: other in the stands. Yeah, hot, Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 3: what happened. I mean, yeah, we lost like tow no,
Speaker 3: but again it's a preseason friendly. Then yesterday I went
Speaker 3: to the Rose Bowl to see ac Milan play Real Madrid,
Speaker 3: and I was like the so ac Milan was up
Speaker 3: to nil and then Madrid came back and won three
Speaker 3: to two. When that third goal, like the last two
Speaker 3: goals that Madrid put in, this dude behind me was
Speaker 3: just whipping his full beer around everyone, like fucking everyone.
Speaker 2: When they scored the first time.
Speaker 3: I was like, whatever, this dude looks drunk, ast shit,
Speaker 3: he looks like this matters to him.
Speaker 2: I was like, whatever, this is just the cost of it.
Speaker 2: Like I wasn't gonna, I wasn't start tripping.
Speaker 3: The second time he did it, I look back and
Speaker 3: I was like, is this motherfucker for real? And so
Speaker 3: were the other people in some of the other rows.
Speaker 3: When the third goal went in, everybody turned around to
Speaker 3: be like mother, yes, They're like, don't and he was like.
Speaker 2: I don't give all he said.
Speaker 3: He kept I don't give a fuck, started whipping it around,
Speaker 3: got it all over these like little six year old kids,
Speaker 3: and shit we throw in front of me. And so
Speaker 3: the dad in that row and his homies, they were
Speaker 3: ready to fucking square up and just duff this dude
Speaker 3: out and his boys because they were like because they
Speaker 3: started jawing and ship they started standing like and I'm
Speaker 3: me and my friends were in the roll in between,
Speaker 3: so immediately we stand up. Thank god we were bigger
Speaker 3: than both of these groups of people, because we were
Speaker 3: just like, this ain't happening, Like there's fucking this is
Speaker 3: there's three minutes left in the fucking game.
Speaker 2: And then this one dude, he was.
Speaker 3: Getting so his kids, just his kids started getting upset,
Speaker 3: and I was like, hey, man, look at it. I
Speaker 3: had to be like, bro, I'm not trying to fight you,
Speaker 3: but please look at your son like he is fucking upset,
Speaker 3: like he's tugging at you, being like, don't do this.
Speaker 3: And that's when like the guy had to be like
Speaker 3: you know, then I was, and then I saw on
Speaker 3: the other guy, I'm like, look what you're doing, man,
Speaker 3: youre getting this.
Speaker 2: Little kid upset. You're throwing beer, Like what the fuck
Speaker 2: is this for?
Speaker 3: Luckily they deaded it, but then the other guys were
Speaker 3: saying like, yeah, I'm gonna catch outside whatever.
Speaker 2: I don't think that happened, but.
Speaker 3: All that to say, I was just like, what the
Speaker 3: fuck is like people just getting too turned up and
Speaker 3: I think friendly, yeah, and I think they were kind of.
Speaker 3: I think the guy was kind of being intentional because
Speaker 3: one of my friends had ac Milan jersey.
Speaker 2: But there was like ac Milan people all over.
Speaker 3: It was just very odd and like, anyway, the temperature's hot,
Speaker 3: y'all out there, and it just seems like part and
Speaker 3: parcel now like every sports, like anytime I've seen live sports,
Speaker 3: pretty close to being like on the brink of always
Speaker 3: seeing people, you know, start scrapping.
Speaker 1: But anyway, really, Brian says, my first soccer game, I
Speaker 1: got hit in the face by a guy diving for
Speaker 1: a T shirt from a T shirt cannon, so's it's
Speaker 1: definitely a vibe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, But also I think it's one of
Speaker 3: those moments maybe it's not really about the fighting, but
Speaker 3: I think it was just I kind of had this
Speaker 3: adrenaline rush after because as like a new parent, I
Speaker 3: definitely saw myself in this guy's position of like, yo, man,
Speaker 3: you're fucking throwing beer like all over my kids and shit,
Speaker 3: like whether you intentionally wanted to get it on my kids,
Speaker 3: but like I'm a sacee, like I'm not about to
Speaker 3: fucking not say shit, like I'm gonna let you know
Speaker 3: that you've crossed the line, but then watching him like
Speaker 3: the kid get.
Speaker 2: Himself, like, oh my god, this is so tragic.
Speaker 3: I was like, fucking I was. I was, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I was a little excited after.
Speaker 2: Yeah, parenthood.
Speaker 1: You have to make sure your kid knows you're not
Speaker 1: a punk, and you know, just hit the biggest guy
Speaker 1: who challenged you as quick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, make sure knock the security guard out with his
Speaker 2: own mag like.
Speaker 3: But it was wild too because the cops, like people
Speaker 3: were like in the stands trying to get security because
Speaker 3: they could feel that someone was gonna kick off. And
Speaker 3: all this fucking cop did from like the field was
Speaker 3: like shine is light and be like hey, hey, hey, hey,
Speaker 3: I see you.
Speaker 2: I see you. I'm like, I don't know if that's
Speaker 2: going to stop, but hey, and you are you have
Speaker 2: the spotlight, sir, go go ahead. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've always thought of soccer as being like more of
Speaker 1: a communal thing where everyone's singing together and stuff. But
Speaker 1: I guess that's not always the case, especially when it's
Speaker 1: not when there's not like a home team and it's
Speaker 1: just a bunch of it.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of tension, man, because there's a lot
Speaker 3: of fans who kind of like think they're on that
Speaker 3: like Hooligan Ultra type thing, and like, I don't think
Speaker 3: it's for kids, but it's an exhibition match and there's
Speaker 3: families there, and like, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2: Know, man, it's just just just have a good time.
Speaker 2: Like we're here to see something that we wouldn't normally
Speaker 2: be able to see.
Speaker 1: So yeah, well I attended a live event and it's
Speaker 1: also my overrated Miyes.
Speaker 2: Okay, so we weren't alone.
Speaker 1: You know, being in Los Angeles, we don't get to
Speaker 1: the theater very often. You know, we hear about it
Speaker 1: from people in New York, but I rarely get to
Speaker 1: watch professional app actors tread the boards.
Speaker 2: Finally made it to the theater and avenue what did
Speaker 2: you see?
Speaker 1: Uh? Then you known as Crypto dot com Arena to
Speaker 1: take in a play called The Jurassic World Live.
Speaker 2: Yes, I wanted to go see that ship.
Speaker 3: I think it was at the Honda Center at Anaheim
Speaker 3: last weekend and I was thinking about going because I'm
Speaker 3: so Jurassic Park brained.
Speaker 2: Miles was it? How was it?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry Jurassic World, but this is going to be
Speaker 1: a pan It is a two active play in which
Speaker 1: puppet dinosaurs interact with human actors on motorcycles. Some things
Speaker 1: blow up. It is way too plot driven. Really is
Speaker 1: full of plots.
Speaker 2: So one of the big problems with don't know.
Speaker 3: The Instagram ad of this thing, which I was getting
Speaker 3: slammed with, made it look like of the fucking t
Speaker 3: rex's them out and he will walk with dinosaurs dope
Speaker 3: ass dinosaur show without much anything needed, because like you're
Speaker 3: looking at like big ass t rexes and ship.
Speaker 1: But I'm trying to get my kids into dinosaurs because
Speaker 1: the Star Wars stuff is becoming a little overbear like
Speaker 1: it's just wall to wall like John Williams scores from
Speaker 1: the obscure like parts of episode three where it's like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, like this one really hits. Actually a battle
Speaker 1: between Obi Wan Kenobi and Anakin.
Speaker 2: He's like, I got layer steam on loop.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm I'm like, you know what I bet
Speaker 1: you'd like is dinosaurs. They're pretty cool, and like, my
Speaker 1: kids aren't even get into dinosaurs after seeing this.
Speaker 2: You can't bro I don't know. I think that you
Speaker 2: fucked the sequence up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't think you can get dinosaurs Star
Speaker 3: Wars not because you just went to the future and
Speaker 3: then back to the cave man.
Speaker 1: Especially a long long time ago when Ago ole far
Speaker 1: far away. But yeah, I see your point.
Speaker 3: Unless like the dinosaurs have lasers and ship shooting out
Speaker 3: of it, because my progression was dinosaurs and then I
Speaker 3: was like, yo, what the.
Speaker 2: Fuck are he is like light swords and shit, Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm over here now.
Speaker 1: The big problem with Jurassic World Live is that it
Speaker 1: is a theatrical play where you're.
Speaker 2: In an arena and.
Speaker 1: They've they've constructed it so that it is like telling
Speaker 1: a story that has a lot of like back and
Speaker 1: forth dialogue between characters, but you have no idea who's talking,
Speaker 1: and there are at times twenty people on stage acting.
Speaker 3: Is it like a play where the focal point is
Speaker 3: clearly like over here there's like dinosaurs mandering on one
Speaker 3: part of the arena floor, and then people are having
Speaker 3: a combo like can you follow what's happening at all?
Speaker 1: Have you been to a theater before? So it's not
Speaker 1: like this, Yeah, exactly, it's like this. The entire it's
Speaker 1: like the entire hockey floor, you know, a NHL ice
Speaker 1: sized stage with dinosaur puppets and then human actors, normal
Speaker 1: sized human actors.
Speaker 2: And normally you you need to know.
Speaker 1: Who's talking at various points, because like they've written it
Speaker 1: so that like five people are having a conversation and
Speaker 1: like so the actors are asked to use their body
Speaker 1: language to communicate, like I'm the one imparting this witty
Speaker 1: tossed off big like as much as they can, you know,
Speaker 1: but people generally don't raise and pump their fists over
Speaker 1: their head when they're like casting off a witty aside.
Speaker 1: So it's it's a real men.
Speaker 3: What is the plot? If you can walk me through?
Speaker 3: What is the narrative of this show?
Speaker 2: So it takes place the Jurassic world they have.
Speaker 3: It's not like you're they've brought the dinosaurs to the arena.
Speaker 3: You're watching a play about your watching.
Speaker 2: A play about the whole world. Yes, oh that's why
Speaker 2: it's Jurassic World. Yes, and.
Speaker 1: The like they're working with a genius dinosaur named Genie,
Speaker 1: which is short for genius. Uh, and that like it's
Speaker 1: a lot of like lab scenes with her and they're like, wow,
Speaker 1: the decoder seems to say she's having complex emotions and
Speaker 1: then the t rex breaks through and then Engen wants
Speaker 1: to control this genius dinosaur.
Speaker 2: For it's just way too much plot for.
Speaker 1: Weapons, which is always which is always the idea that
Speaker 1: they've just taken the logic from the Alien franchise and
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, this makes sense. You would breed dinosaurs
Speaker 1: to use Lemon's weapons, the most unpredictable, inefficient weapon that
Speaker 1: you could possibly.
Speaker 2: Imagine, practical nuclear weapons.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wen, you rite, but think about how sick it
Speaker 1: would be if you were riding a fucking raptor in Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it has like five different settings,
Speaker 1: like it goes from Jassic World to I guess three
Speaker 1: settings Jassic World New York City, to a desert in
Speaker 1: South America, back to Jurassic War, back to the abandoned island,
Speaker 1: and it's.
Speaker 2: Just they put too much, too much plot in there.
Speaker 1: I really felt for the actors having to be like
Speaker 1: I'm the one talking right now with their big like
Speaker 1: sweeping gestures and like pointing their thumbs up their shoulders,
Speaker 1: and then the fight choreography is just you know, there
Speaker 1: are these like long fifteen minute like fights where like
Speaker 1: it's basically like you know, child play fighting, but if
Speaker 1: the instead of children, it was ballerinas, like because they
Speaker 1: they're all you know, trained actors and dancers, so they
Speaker 1: to do like spins and pirouettes and it's it's interesting.
Speaker 1: But anyways, Uh, I think I can use this to
Speaker 1: just say the theater is not bringing it these days, folks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get that valid criticism. It's a dying art.
Speaker 1: That's why you got to go to the movies. We're
Speaker 1: going to talk about the movies right after this. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back and we're back, We're Boppenheimer was a success,
Speaker 1: arousing success people opt in Heimer. This weekend for so
Speaker 1: Barbie is like the most biggest opening weekend of the year,
Speaker 1: right ahead of Super Mario Brothers. It was like way
Speaker 1: way more than anybody was expecting.
Speaker 3: Did it like double didn't It wasn't each movie double
Speaker 3: the projection.
Speaker 1: Basically, So yeah, it was wild, Like how many people went,
Speaker 1: like the the theaters were teaming with people in pink.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I wore my pink Yeah.
Speaker 1: I wore pink pants and uh you know pants, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got pink pants.
Speaker 2: Are those like some like like some pink cords? Oh wow?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, my wife wore a pink jumpsuit and we
Speaker 1: we went and saw a man's Chinese and oh wow, okay,
Speaker 1: and Freddy Krueger. On the way out, she said Freddy
Speaker 1: and he said Barbie.
Speaker 2: So she was pulling it off.
Speaker 1: Anyways, I've only seen Barbie. I'm gonna see Oppenheimer this week. Uh,
Speaker 1: Barbie's great. That's that's my review. Yeah, awesome.
Speaker 3: I think I gotta say I saw Barbie two. I
Speaker 3: think Greta Gerwig and was it Noah bombback. But let's
Speaker 3: just we'll give all praise to Greta did a really
Speaker 3: good job of just like threading what I felt was
Speaker 3: a nearly impossible needle to threat of, like talking about
Speaker 3: the topic of Barbie wrestling with it's placed in like
Speaker 3: the concept of modern womanhood and patriarchy and all that,
Speaker 3: while still.
Speaker 2: Being like a fun summer movie. So fun.
Speaker 1: That's where I'm like, you did.
Speaker 3: Oh hell yeah, I And again I'm not joking. I
Speaker 3: was so excited to go to the movies this weekend.
Speaker 3: I've not felt like this. I don't it's been a
Speaker 3: fucking long time since. For some reason, I felt like
Speaker 3: the Nicole Kimmen commercial, like it feels good to fall
Speaker 3: in love in a place like this, or get.
Speaker 2: Your heart whatever. I got in there quick. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I have my Kerry Coke. That first scene I got emotional. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know why.
Speaker 3: Maybe it could have been because I was like in
Speaker 3: the second row looking on a big ass screen and
Speaker 3: my eyes just watering from just having to be too
Speaker 3: close and like light sensitivity. It starts off great and
Speaker 3: then it's just such a it's a it's a fun
Speaker 3: ride and without spoiling anything, I think there's so many
Speaker 3: good jokes that I'm sure we'll be talking about out
Speaker 3: for yeah a while.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, sorry, am I eating something delicious because
Speaker 1: I'm seeing noams everywhere in this film?
Speaker 2: Oh really, I already already did that joke off?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had that, Yeah, and you didn't got one
Speaker 1: one grown all right, Ryan Gosling, I think will be
Speaker 1: nominated for Supporting Actor. I think Greta Gerwig will be
Speaker 1: nominated for director.
Speaker 3: What about uh mag uh mah Marcot Robbie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think she could definitely be nominated for lead.
Speaker 1: But I think Greta Gerwig now is like in the
Speaker 1: conversation as like the best writer director working like she's
Speaker 1: three for three in just like three wildly different movies, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't seen Little Women, but I hear
Speaker 1: it's good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've seen It's funny, I've seen little I saw
Speaker 2: Little Women when it came out. I don't know what
Speaker 2: it's count, couldn't tell you what it was about, but
Speaker 2: it was good and I just like mind meld.
Speaker 1: Like Greta Gerwig used my favorite song push by Matchbox
Speaker 1: twenty throughout my go to karaoke. That song will never
Speaker 1: be the same again.
Speaker 2: No, definitely not. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Like I think there's like a lot of climate anxiety
Speaker 1: stuff in there that is interesting that I don't see
Speaker 1: a lot of people pointing out like that you're waking
Speaker 1: up from an artificial consumers world to realize like we're
Speaker 1: all going to die. But it's I don't know. There's
Speaker 1: also like obviously.
Speaker 2: Like bumming other people out when you talk about it. Yes,
Speaker 2: exactly what I know. I mean, like the Barbie world.
Speaker 1: Is like plastic on the beach and like plastic water.
Speaker 1: It's like I think that there's like interesting ideas in there,
Speaker 1: like both textually and subtextually. I think I think it's
Speaker 1: really good. They did did did a really nice job.
Speaker 1: Was not such a fan Ben Shapiro.
Speaker 3: Let's let's I know what it is, because I mean
Speaker 3: I remember on Thursday or whenever the embargo was lifted,
Speaker 3: every right wing person was like, this is a woke mess.
Speaker 3: I think I forget Judge Jani one of them people
Speaker 3: from Fox like it's a trojan horse for feminism. I'm like,
Speaker 3: that shit is not a trojan horse. They hit through
Speaker 3: the fucking wall.
Speaker 2: Trojan horse.
Speaker 1: There's a feminist subtext in here somewhere I can't I
Speaker 1: can't quite see it, but right, right, right, no, like
Speaker 1: all the jokes are explicitly overtly like about feminism, and uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Benchapiro. After he put so, he posted a.
Speaker 1: Tweet complaining that his producers dragged him to see Barbie.
Speaker 1: Uh he is, of course by himself in the picture
Speaker 1: holding but totally one real unpresumably, you know, just just
Speaker 1: out of frame like Nathan Fielder's friends.
Speaker 2: Wait, but why is he holding papers.
Speaker 1: In front of the get the dossier when you went
Speaker 1: to the Barbie?
Speaker 3: It's just so weird, Like he's like in his I
Speaker 3: love your tucked in black tea into your black jeans,
Speaker 3: Ben love it standing in front of the poster with
Speaker 3: like I don't know, like three loose sheets of paper
Speaker 3: with this like disapproving look like, but my notes are skating.
Speaker 3: Could you imagine him scribbling with pen and paper and.
Speaker 2: Too woke? Too woke? Was it? Was it the fact,
Speaker 2: I'm guessing it was the just in.
Speaker 3: Your face fucking messages about inequalities in our society.
Speaker 1: So he released a forty three minute video devoted to
Speaker 1: nothing but Barbie and appeared to try and spark mass
Speaker 1: protests against the movie that most of the world was
Speaker 1: already in the process of seeing and enjoying and disagreeing
Speaker 1: with Ben Shapiro about. And then he made his pitch
Speaker 1: to be Kid Rock's boy sidekick by setting fire to
Speaker 1: Barbie dolls from the movie, which he had to go
Speaker 1: out and buy, so like he bought like the movie
Speaker 1: merch barbies, yes, wow, and then set them on fire
Speaker 1: and presumably inhaled all sorts of like unholy chemicals into
Speaker 1: his lungs. Right right right, But yeah, it's nothing, says
Speaker 1: alpha male, like going full angry third grader and burning someone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: being sid from toy Story, Yeah true, real like Dennis
Speaker 1: the Menace shit Oh yeah yeah yeah, but he complained
Speaker 1: like his local movie theaters screening of Barbie was full
Speaker 1: of moms and young girls. Can you imagine, like what
Speaker 1: at the Barbie movie? No way, I'm shocked.
Speaker 2: Go on.
Speaker 1: He also claims that it's says it's a feminist clap
Speaker 1: trap and it features a transactress and this is true
Speaker 1: totally normally as if this is a female Barbie with
Speaker 1: a voice deeper than my own, which is completely not true.
Speaker 2: Like I had truly had no idea. Wait, that went
Speaker 2: over my head. Yeah, this is one.
Speaker 1: Of the Barbies is a trans woman And oh okay,
Speaker 1: what scene the it's the barbie with kind of reddish hair.
Speaker 1: I thought it was a dual lipa because I don't
Speaker 1: really know which one dua lipa is. Yeah, a Lipa's
Speaker 1: in there. There's just so many Barbies to.
Speaker 2: Keep track of.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was a lot of Barbies and a
Speaker 3: lot of Ken's. But yeah, wow, I like that. He really,
Speaker 3: I mean, he must have really done his transphobic research
Speaker 3: to fucking pinpoint that moment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he did, and it was really He
Speaker 1: was outraged. He claimed the film is explicitly designed to
Speaker 1: divide men from women, describing it as angry feminist clap
Speaker 1: trap that alienates men from women. He's he's an amazing
Speaker 1: one of our foremost thinkers on.
Speaker 2: Gender and you know, inequality in general. I think, thank you.
Speaker 2: I think that's very yeah, in line with his philosophy
Speaker 2: for sure. One thing that was.
Speaker 3: Kind of interesting though, is like in dealing with a
Speaker 3: topic that is so inherently violent, like patriarchy, you know,
Speaker 3: like in my mind, like I'm I'm thinking of like
Speaker 3: the most violent manifestations of patriarchy that we have like
Speaker 3: in our in our culture. Like I was just thinking
Speaker 3: of like those women who are testifying in Texas, like
Speaker 3: as they're trying to sue Ken Paxton about their inability
Speaker 3: to get an abortion when they needed to. But then
Speaker 3: like still finding a way to deal with something so
Speaker 3: inherently chaotic, violent, dark and make it work Again, I
Speaker 3: was always like.
Speaker 2: That's that's a that's a hard thing to do.
Speaker 3: Although I feel like with other times, I'm curious how
Speaker 3: like another topic may have been perceived, like if it
Speaker 3: was dealing with like white supremacy, if it was like flippant,
Speaker 3: But I get that there is a way to do that.
Speaker 2: Like already we have.
Speaker 3: Movies that like skew these kinds of things, but yet
Speaker 3: I have it in a way that has the right
Speaker 3: wing people panicked. I'm like, yeah, you did a good job.
Speaker 3: I'm sure they love the America for Era monologue too.
Speaker 3: That's probably when like conservatives walked out of the fucking movie.
Speaker 2: I'm sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, where everybody at the theater I went to was cheering.
Speaker 2: Throughout and I did. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So Harry nef is the Doctor slash DJ Barbie Dua
Speaker 1: Lipa is the Mermaid according to Anna, and yeah, there's
Speaker 1: just a lot of a lot of Barbie going around.
Speaker 1: But yeah, a real, a real good time of the movies.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about, like Greta Titelman's American Ambassador character
Speaker 1: from LOSAs Spooky's during the movie a lot. Just it
Speaker 1: seems like it like has a lot of the same
Speaker 1: esthetics from those scenes the first season. But apparently the
Speaker 1: Barbie aesthetic is like incredibly popular in Latin America for
Speaker 1: you know, I guess similar reasons to the US. Like
Speaker 1: there there was a bunch of articles, like the AP
Speaker 1: wrote an article about how like Barbie Mania invades Latin
Speaker 1: America and they're like the doll was popular in Latin
Speaker 1: America because it was introduced at a time when other
Speaker 1: toys for girls were like mainly filling homemaker roles, which
Speaker 1: seems like it's true in a lot of places. But anyways,
Speaker 1: the movie's been a huge box office success there, and like,
Speaker 1: you know, in addition to that, and like a bunch
Speaker 1: of tie ins, like an airline painting its plane pink
Speaker 1: with a Barbie logo. It's also like pulled into it's
Speaker 1: been pulled into like some protests, like protesters in Peru
Speaker 1: who are calling for the immediate like elections to be
Speaker 1: called to get the current president out of office, created
Speaker 1: like this awesome looking Barbie doll outfit with like a
Speaker 1: pink machine gun and boxes labeled like Dictator Barbie and
Speaker 1: Genocide Barbie.
Speaker 2: And in Mexico, a.
Speaker 1: Young woman started sewing outfits for searching Mother Barbie, like
Speaker 1: modeled on the clothes typically worn by the families of
Speaker 1: the one hundred and eleven thousand people missing in Mexico,
Speaker 1: who are you know, forced to fend for themselves because
Speaker 1: the given up on them. So it's being used in
Speaker 1: interesting ways, and oh yeah around the country.
Speaker 3: It's just like, yeah, to your point about like just
Speaker 3: the plasticity of it all and like kind of like
Speaker 3: what that the larger themes or messages are like I
Speaker 3: think when you pair that with Oppenheimer, like where you
Speaker 3: have you know, Barbie on one end and.
Speaker 2: The fucking bomb on the other.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does put you in this weird in between
Speaker 3: because they are like like it even the bomb will
Speaker 3: induce like sort of this like existential dread and anxiety
Speaker 3: over like what we're doing, what we've done, like what
Speaker 3: the fuck is going on? So yeah, I think it's
Speaker 3: just like a this is just like two really interesting
Speaker 3: I think pieces of film that just happened to come
Speaker 3: at the perfect time to turn into something like I
Speaker 3: don't know any universe, or I'd have been like yeah, Boppenheimer, ye,
Speaker 3: like if you told me two years ago, I'm like,
Speaker 3: what the fuck are you talking about?
Speaker 2: Like those are just two movies that are coming out.
Speaker 3: But for some reason, it's like I don't know, I
Speaker 3: think embodying what a lot of us are feeling. Whether
Speaker 3: it's we want to we want the maybe people seek
Speaker 3: the predictability and cleanliness of a Barbie world and ignoring
Speaker 3: the things that we dread, but I don't know, it's
Speaker 3: a lot of it gives us a lot of things
Speaker 3: to distract ourselves.
Speaker 1: With and I enjoyed it and then ultimately end with
Speaker 1: the realization that we're all going to die.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's important. Yeah, gotta know that first and foremost.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's take another quick break and we'll
Speaker 1: come back and hit some non Barbie stories. We'll try,
Speaker 1: I mean, Barbie is invading everything. But we'll be right
Speaker 1: back and we're back. And what's going on in the
Speaker 1: world of politics. Obviously we talked about there on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: There's going to be some big uap ufo hearings on
Speaker 1: the house coming up.
Speaker 2: What else we see in what else? What else?
Speaker 3: I don't know, I mean, there's there, there's plenty going on.
Speaker 3: I think the one thing that's gonna take up a
Speaker 3: big chunk of stupid air in the house is the
Speaker 3: House GOP's efforts to expunge Trump's impeachments, like like really
Speaker 3: angry parents who are like, don't worry, honey, we're gonna
Speaker 3: get that suspension taken off.
Speaker 2: Your record and no one will remember it.
Speaker 3: And yeah, which is so fucking weird to me that
Speaker 3: they think, just because it's taken off the record, that
Speaker 3: that will somehow, you know, repair his reputation anyway. So
Speaker 3: Kevin McCarthy is caught in the middle because he suffers
Speaker 3: from what we have repeatedly called desert thirst.
Speaker 2: When it comes to political power.
Speaker 3: The man will do and say anything to try and
Speaker 3: like climb the ladder. And last week he off handedly
Speaker 3: mentioned that Trump, you know, may not be the strongest candidate.
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, and then.
Speaker 3: That has everybody clutching their MAGA pearls and he's.
Speaker 2: Like, no, no, no, no, I didn't. I didn't. That's what
Speaker 2: I meant. Okay, okay, Like here's the thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hear you guys want to take a vote
Speaker 3: to expunge his record. Okay, then well I'll do that
Speaker 3: like sort of like as a make good But now
Speaker 3: he's now he's found himself in this place, which he
Speaker 3: repeatedly finds himself in because he's always doing backdoor deals
Speaker 3: with people who have no moral scruples are so inconsistent.
Speaker 3: So the MAGA caucus people are all like, we need
Speaker 3: this vote like or else. It's a fucking embarrassment. Moderates
Speaker 3: however you want to call them, whatever that word means.
Speaker 3: In the Republican Party, Dave All pretty much said, there's
Speaker 3: no fucking way I'm voting for that.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get reelected and I can't.
Speaker 3: Be I gotta appear like some MAGA adjacent Republican, not
Speaker 3: big Maga. So if that happens, if they don't vote
Speaker 3: for it, that means the measure would fail, which would
Speaker 3: make Trump even angrier, because again, this is all just
Speaker 3: like an optics exercise for this man's ego. And yeah,
Speaker 3: Marjorie Taylor Green's like, I'm hoping that we'll have something
Speaker 3: before the August recess, but good luck with that.
Speaker 1: Just such a We'll be checking in with it every
Speaker 1: day just to see like where they are with this.
Speaker 2: Because it's very important.
Speaker 1: It is so funny that they like have a like
Speaker 1: they're not dealing with the media. They're just like dealing
Speaker 1: with one person's opinion of them, like that that that's
Speaker 1: all they care about. It's got to be very like
Speaker 1: I don't remember. Yeah, it's got to be very surreal
Speaker 1: and weird where they're just like, okay, like has he
Speaker 1: sent me a mean email?
Speaker 2: All right, right, then we're good. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I mean, uh, well, we'll see where this goes.
Speaker 3: But he's McCarthy is consistently walking a tight rope trying
Speaker 3: to please the unpleasable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Twitter is now X or is going
Speaker 1: to become ex god. Elon Musk announced that Twitter will
Speaker 1: be replacing the Twitter bird with the letter X. And also,
Speaker 1: I guess Twitter will just be called X now because
Speaker 1: I don't know, man.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you go X dot com, it already
Speaker 2: redirects you to Twitter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's obsessed with the letter X, like you might.
Speaker 1: You might remember his one of his child with Grimes,
Speaker 1: I think has like an X in the name. There's like,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not an X in the name like Xavier.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: I think it's like X is the first, Like it's
Speaker 1: a series of letters and X is the first. And
Speaker 1: he also like his cars, like his car models, like
Speaker 1: the Tesla X model is a thing. He's Space X.
Speaker 1: And his banking service that he tried to launch was
Speaker 1: X dot com, which merged with another company and became PayPal.
Speaker 1: So that's like how we got this asshole in the
Speaker 1: first place. So he thinks the letter X is really cool,
Speaker 1: it would seem, and that's where this is coming from.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it feels like also just in his like
Speaker 3: really add tragically uncool brain that he thinks that this
Speaker 3: is the move for Twitter. It's like make it the
Speaker 3: worst website, then just change everything around apparently like they
Speaker 3: like I think they suspended the X videos account like
Speaker 3: a porn account because videos on Twitter are gonna be
Speaker 3: called X videos like everything's excentric.
Speaker 2: Uh and I I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm kind of like really enjoying watching him completely make
Speaker 3: like compound all these compounding mistakes over and over, Like
Speaker 3: what X is only cool to people who are like
Speaker 3: of his age. I feel like that he couldn't shake
Speaker 3: that idea of X being cool, right.
Speaker 2: I guess he is gen X, right, Yeah, yeah, so
Speaker 2: he's just living the truth. Man.
Speaker 3: You know, X is fucking so sick, man, I just
Speaker 3: because they wanted to be like an everything website. I
Speaker 3: don't know, man, it's pretty soon it's gonna be just
Speaker 3: called like hometown buffet or some shit.
Speaker 2: Right, we do it.
Speaker 1: Back in May, he had this statement where he was like, uh,
Speaker 1: my new CEO will help me transform this platform into
Speaker 1: X And I thought that was just like he accidentally
Speaker 1: released like a placeholder statement where it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: X Y whatever. But that's I guess that was his
Speaker 1: plan all along, which he's previously stated he wants this
Speaker 1: to be an everything app, not unlike China's we Chat, which,
Speaker 1: if you're not familiar, we Chat is used by more
Speaker 1: than a billion people in China as an all in
Speaker 1: one social media instant messaging, a mobile payment app used
Speaker 1: to all cabs, fine news and you know is creepy,
Speaker 1: like you know, it's.
Speaker 3: It's not gonna work here, it's not gonna work here.
Speaker 3: And meanwhile, like fucking Mark Zuckerberg and metow it's like
Speaker 3: laughing all their way to their way to the top
Speaker 3: with threads.
Speaker 1: This does seem to be a thing that it's like
Speaker 1: it's like a phase of billionaire megalomania where you have
Speaker 1: to like rename your thing, you know, like Google became alphabet, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Facebook meta meta, which just seems I don't know, completely
Speaker 1: counter but it is like a way to generate cheap
Speaker 1: heat about you and like make a what could be
Speaker 1: seen as like an esthetic creative decision to be like
Speaker 1: that's credit for thinking about something and being a taste
Speaker 1: maker of some sort.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Again, it just seems like a cynical move to
Speaker 3: do something with money, kind of like when Lebron James
Speaker 3: is like I'm going back to number twenty three.
Speaker 2: It's like, what the fuck keep changing Jersey numbers?
Speaker 3: Glad I never bought the number six one, but yeah,
Speaker 3: good luck to you, Elon, And by that I mean
Speaker 3: fuck off.
Speaker 2: Uh and we'll see where this thing goes. But I
Speaker 2: don't it just it just looks weird right now too,
Speaker 2: like X at the top.
Speaker 3: I feel like it's a website for like a janky
Speaker 3: like boutique hotel.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm just trying to figure out if Elon Musk
Speaker 1: has a child named just X, or if that it's
Speaker 1: the one that we all talked about when he and
Speaker 1: Grime said the kid right, and it was like act
Speaker 1: and then AE and a bunch of smols that.
Speaker 3: Like weird a that I don't I'm stupid. I don't
Speaker 3: know what that character is called. And then like a
Speaker 3: through twelve or age.
Speaker 2: From knowing what that character is called. Miles.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry, sorry, folks, they change it.
Speaker 2: It's why I think the baby's now why oh just why?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is fully changed. I got I guess
Speaker 1: like it hadn't cashed on my uh browser until just now,
Speaker 1: but there is now just a dumb X at the
Speaker 1: top of the website.
Speaker 3: Dude, Hey, are you going to reax my my ex
Speaker 3: from earlier, like my exes, Dude, I like my exes.
Speaker 2: What all right?
Speaker 1: Well, those are some of the things that happened this weekend.
Speaker 1: We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of
Speaker 1: the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be
Speaker 1: kind to yourself, get the vaccine, don't do nothing about
Speaker 1: white supremacy, and we will talk to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Bye bye,
