Speaker 2: Oh come on, now, come on now, gotta show respect
Speaker 2: to Professor as I'm doing well, you know, I.
Speaker 4: Feel like you missed a little bit about your New
Speaker 4: York experience. There's always someone urinating in the corner out there,
Speaker 4: in time.
Speaker 1: Squen, you know I missed.
Speaker 2: I think I think the NYPD is doing a good
Speaker 2: job of brutalizing people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so out to them. It might be the new
Speaker 1: home of public urination, because I'm seeing a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of public urination these days.
Speaker 4: We've always been here in Portland too, you always had that.
Speaker 1: You know, the weather's nice, you know, the PEPs everywhere,
Speaker 1: go outside for a pp.
Speaker 4: We have a We have a lot of dog poop
Speaker 4: everywhere here in Portland. People don't don't seem to pick
Speaker 4: up after their dogs.
Speaker 1: We have that in l A too.
Speaker 2: It's kind of I'm also I see it on the
Speaker 2: concrete and I'm like, what the fuck? Like, I don't
Speaker 2: know why I'm getting angry, get the dog. I'm like,
Speaker 2: you're just comfortable shipping on the concrete right next to
Speaker 2: the serviceable patch of grass or dirt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know why.
Speaker 2: I'm like put myself in the perspective of the dog
Speaker 2: and like that's like and that's.
Speaker 1: A bridge too far from me. Yeah. My dogs would
Speaker 1: only go when we lived in New York. They would
Speaker 1: only go as we were crossing the street. I think
Speaker 1: it just as a like just as a test of
Speaker 1: my metal there they just that as I got more,
Speaker 1: like the moment that I would want them to take
Speaker 1: a ship the least is when they decided to take
Speaker 1: a ship.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the red hand is blinking and in
Speaker 1: the now three two, here we go. So wait, what
Speaker 1: did you do? Did you like in a panic like
Speaker 1: try and clean it up? Or oh yeah, I was
Speaker 1: like catching it with the bag like wow, and the
Speaker 1: like waving waving to the cars.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry, you know, Oh no, I know that's
Speaker 2: a very high stress event for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't like to fuck anyone's day up. I'm getting
Speaker 2: secondhand stressed from that too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. All right, we're gonna get to know you
Speaker 1: a little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna
Speaker 1: tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking
Speaker 1: about today. Diane Feinstein is back and I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: it's like pretty pretty dark. It's grim ridiculous. I think
Speaker 1: grim is the is the appropriate word. New Twitter ceo
Speaker 1: just dropped and it's a woman. Elon Musk's fans are
Speaker 1: not happy about that fact. So we'll talk about just
Speaker 1: it should have been Rick or Morty. Your only options. Yeah,
Speaker 1: is it Rick or fucking Morty. Don't talk to me, Doug,
Speaker 1: don't worry. She's a fucking capitalist. Fine, she's fine. You
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be fine. Also, there might be a
Speaker 1: dating app situation happening on Twitter. What he's trying it all?
Speaker 1: You know, AMC theaters are trying it all. They're they're
Speaker 1: gonna make their own candy. It looks what I don't know.
Speaker 1: That just pissed me off that you said that, Like, huh, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's weird. What cost cutting? Yeah, cost cutting. They claim
Speaker 1: that there's a like I have noticed at AMC theaters
Speaker 1: that like someday some days they just like won't have
Speaker 1: any candy, Like they won't have half of the things
Speaker 1: will be gone. Yeah, yeah, I'm still gone. Especially when
Speaker 1: I'm real sick and just talking up, I'll just show
Speaker 1: up and just you know, I like to go to
Speaker 1: a midnight Thursday showing when it something about being around
Speaker 1: other people helps me feel oh yeah, but something about
Speaker 1: being here, you know, feel better in a place like this,
Speaker 1: thank you, Nicole. Better. But yeah, like they they don't
Speaker 1: half the time. I'm a I'm a sour patch kids,
Speaker 1: I'm a sour patch kid and a lot of times
Speaker 1: they want to teach it. So anyways, they're gonna try
Speaker 1: and deal with some of their supply chain issues by
Speaker 1: making their own candy, which feels I don't know, like
Speaker 1: there's gotta be a reason that that all these companies
Speaker 1: like they we've had the same candy for centuries. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna use surpe piece. I'm poul thought of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they're like, oh, if you love Reese's Pieces,
Speaker 2: you're gonna love Rosses, Posty's.
Speaker 4: Didn't AMC go into the gold business recently? Or are
Speaker 4: mining business like a year or two ago, like they
Speaker 4: were just trying everything.
Speaker 1: I feel like, are they WHOA, Really that's wild mining. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we'll talk about that. Well, we might talk about
Speaker 1: Disney losing millions of subscribers due to wokeness, but that
Speaker 1: is the way the headlines are portraying it. It's actually
Speaker 1: because of cricket. We'll explain all of that plenty more,
Speaker 1: But first, ASAB, we like to ask our guests, what
Speaker 1: is something from your search history? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I mean I was sticking on the dog and baby theme,
Speaker 4: something that I searched in my late night trying to
Speaker 4: get my baby to sleep, was is it okay to
Speaker 4: love your dog more than your child? And surprisingly, something
Speaker 4: like thirty three percent of people love their dogs more
Speaker 4: than their children, which I thought was pretty pretty funny.
Speaker 4: How do you guys feel?
Speaker 2: I love my sadly my dog has become down in
Speaker 2: steerage class of the Titanic of my love ship while
Speaker 2: I'm holding my baby up at the front saying, you know,
Speaker 2: king of the world, you and I Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean I know that feeling though, because I'm man
Speaker 2: when there's something about I was just telling you. I
Speaker 2: think I've said this on the show before, Like the
Speaker 2: difference between seeing my baby smile at three pm or
Speaker 2: seeing my baby smile at three am.
Speaker 1: Is it completely different?
Speaker 2: Like when I'm like, don't be smiling right now, You're like, oh,
Speaker 2: you get the fucking party.
Speaker 1: I abuse you like a clown, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm turning into him suddenly.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I know that feeling, like man, my my,
Speaker 2: Like late night google searches were all like stuff like
Speaker 2: that of like you know, a week, Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean the business opportunities for new parents who are
Speaker 4: googling solutions to their problems at three o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 1: I forget about.
Speaker 4: We've spent hundreds of not thousands of dollars like on
Speaker 4: little things from Amazon or whatever costs go to come
Speaker 4: overnight so that we could fix whatever the problem we're having.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy. Is your is your baby? Like what's
Speaker 1: the just kind of just you know, young, so not
Speaker 1: sing as well.
Speaker 4: She's perfect in every way except she's a newborn, right,
Speaker 4: and so she wants to be back in the womb
Speaker 4: in the fourth trimester. But uh, you know, we love her.
Speaker 4: But as you can imagine, I've never you know, felt
Speaker 4: this kind of love before other than that dog.
Speaker 1: Somehow my love has expanded for my dog. Yah.
Speaker 4: And yeah, it's it's it's everything that you can imagine
Speaker 4: would be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. You know how Jack
Speaker 1: I was talking, shit, I'm like, yo, my son's sleep.
Speaker 1: He's sleeping through the night.
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, nas, don't say that that's my only hope.
Speaker 1: I mean it halfed.
Speaker 2: I mean it's like it's now went from like like
Speaker 2: eleven hours to six and then like got out you know,
Speaker 2: rock rock them back, and then you know, I can
Speaker 2: continue my sleep. But I've slowly my body's adjusted. I
Speaker 2: think I think I may have. I'm starting to bait
Speaker 2: be able to run on much less and less sleep
Speaker 2: than I thought I would.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you find that you're far more efficient with your
Speaker 4: hours during the day too, right.
Speaker 1: Oh totally yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And like I go to sleep like early, like
Speaker 2: a you know, like an adult too, so because I'm like,
Speaker 2: because you got to do that thing. It's like when
Speaker 2: the baby's sleeping, you got to sleep too.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: As much as I want to reclaim those hours and
Speaker 2: play the new Star Wars Jedi Survivor game, I cannot.
Speaker 1: For my own, you know, sleep cycle agreed. What is
Speaker 1: something that you think is overrated? Oh?
Speaker 4: Man, Yeah, I think Airbnb. Recently, I've just been so
Speaker 4: annoyed with their excess fees and cleaning and this, that
Speaker 4: and the other thing, and I've gone back to just
Speaker 4: going to hotels because I can just I know the price,
Speaker 4: yeh know, the system. I go in and then I
Speaker 4: leave and I don't have to clean forty five dishes
Speaker 4: and do all sorts of stuff. So yeah, I would
Speaker 4: say for me right now, Airbnb is overrated.
Speaker 2: Right do Like the hotel is never Like you didn't
Speaker 2: bring the trash bags out to the can outside, So
Speaker 2: that's a pefenty dollars charge.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Also one dish was not cleaned properly and you didn't
Speaker 2: put all the sheets into the Washington. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: you know what, Yeah, I totally get that. It's so
Speaker 2: a feezer.
Speaker 1: Because like it's wild too.
Speaker 2: You'll see like a you'll see a price when it's
Speaker 2: like whatever, one hundred and fifty bucks a night, and
Speaker 2: then it talies it up.
Speaker 1: It's like it's six grand six or wait.
Speaker 4: What all the clean is more than the night?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, and then you know COVID serilization fee.
Speaker 4: You're like, and just as a person of color, early on,
Speaker 4: I had a lot of issues with Airbnb in that
Speaker 4: like I would reserve something and then it would get canceled.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and my wife was a white woman, would
Speaker 4: would reserve the same or siveral place and be like okay,
Speaker 4: yeah you can come that far.
Speaker 1: So yeah, totally.
Speaker 2: I would just be like, please her majesty, use your
Speaker 2: whiteness and booking exactly because this place is too fucking
Speaker 2: nice from a like fucking black and brown ass avatar
Speaker 2: for them to be like, yeah, we trust him.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what's what's something you think is underrated.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I guess I'm again baby on the mind.
Speaker 4: I would say new moms. Man, my wife is a
Speaker 4: rock star, and I don't know, Yeah, Miles here, what
Speaker 4: is wife? I'm assuming? Yeah, like the what are that
Speaker 4: what they're doing on a day to day week tweek
Speaker 4: basis in these first couple of months, I mean obvious
Speaker 4: the first couple of years for the rest of their lives.
Speaker 4: But yeah, certainly you know my mom, my wife, my wife,
Speaker 4: Uh you know all right, breastfeeding, breastfeeding for forty hours
Speaker 4: a week plus, right, yeah, and please you've been it's
Speaker 4: two hour shifts, like completely just underrated. What you know,
Speaker 4: what what new moms have to go through and in
Speaker 4: terms of of keeping these little ones alive.
Speaker 1: So and it was just Mother's Day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why it's like it's not lost on me,
Speaker 2: Like it's just just gestation and birth that part alone.
Speaker 2: I'm like, look, I got about I don't know how
Speaker 2: what I have to do to offset this balance that
Speaker 2: we've already created because of caring and delivering the child.
Speaker 2: Like there's nothing I could do except for maybe stay
Speaker 2: up really late a lot more. But yeah, it's it's
Speaker 2: it's so like you know, like like I was saying,
Speaker 2: like to other people, like your your ability to love
Speaker 2: expands so many ways, not just by having a child,
Speaker 2: but even like in my marriage. It's like, yeah, it's wild.
Speaker 2: I feel like in a way, like some people like,
Speaker 2: but baby's not going to solve everything. Not that we
Speaker 2: had problems that we had to solve, but it's like
Speaker 2: it's completely added a new dimension and depth of love
Speaker 2: to even like my relationship to my partner that.
Speaker 1: Was not there. Yeah yeah yeah. And also it's just
Speaker 1: Mother's Day, so shout out all them. Yeah, shout out

Speaker 1: the most nutritious food in the world with their body
Speaker 1: like constantly. Yeah yeah. And the most we can do is,
Speaker 1: you know, clean pacifiers and like equipment. I take that
Speaker 1: T shirts. T shirts are the appropriate thing to clean
Speaker 1: past fires with. What that? Oh yeah that?
Speaker 2: Or just suck the dust right off. I'm like, get

Speaker 1: you go.
Speaker 4: I don't know why.
Speaker 2: It's like I leave it on like it's a fucking patch.
Speaker 2: I think for like when I travel, I'm like, I
Speaker 2: just want to remember. I want to remember that I'm
Speaker 2: the smell there. You know where you came from?
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, exactly. Isn't that a thing in like men's
Speaker 1: influencers where they like drink breast milk or like order
Speaker 1: breast milk because there's.
Speaker 4: A lot of Yeah, they're they're buying that stuff up
Speaker 4: because I think it's better for them and and helps
Speaker 4: build the muscles.
Speaker 1: I don't know about man. Not all there not all
Speaker 1: their ideas are bad.
Speaker 4: You see, just make a lot of money. We got
Speaker 4: some extra stuff that I might put it on the
Speaker 4: black market job creators.
Speaker 1: Exactly.
Speaker 2: Hey, you can with breast milk, you can get ripped
Speaker 2: and address some unaddressed weird things that are going on
Speaker 2: with your relationship with your mother, you know what I mean. Hey,
Speaker 2: but Homelander did it. Homelander did that ship. That's Oh,
Speaker 2: it's for the most powerful men out there they drink
Speaker 2: breast milk.
Speaker 1: Well that's right, all right, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll come back and talk about some news. And
Speaker 1: we're back, and so is fi.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh I mean so she's back in the Senate.
Speaker 2: She cast her first votes last Wednesday after being out
Speaker 2: for months, like almost three months, and Senate Democrats were
Speaker 2: eger for her return because Judiciary Committee they had a
Speaker 2: backlog of judicial picks, of Biden's judicial picks they had
Speaker 2: to confirm that had been in a standstill. They're also
Speaker 2: big relieve to have a crucial vote that could help
Speaker 2: avert like a debt ceiling disaster. So in a sense
Speaker 2: they're like, Okay, this is great to have her back,
Speaker 2: but truly at what cost? Because if anyone who saw
Speaker 2: the footage of her arrived to work at the Capitol,
Speaker 2: it was pretty hard to watch. She got out of
Speaker 2: a car, her one of her staffers had a wheelchair waiting.
Speaker 1: She said, where am I going? Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, you know, as she got into the wheelchair,
Speaker 2: and then she said, I got something in my eye.
Speaker 2: And then Chuck Schumer comes up. He's like hi, Diane.
Speaker 2: She's like hi, Chuck, Hi everyone, and then slowly like
Speaker 2: wheeled off to like to work, but it was it
Speaker 2: was one of those scenes where you're like, oh, man,
Speaker 2: this is this, she is, she is, she is in
Speaker 2: a bad way, and I don't know, like I think
Speaker 2: it was. That scene was kind of tragically familiar for
Speaker 2: anyone that's watched an elderly loved one sort of begin
Speaker 2: to slip into poor health and sinility. And you know,
Speaker 2: her office says that she's been suffering from shingles, which
Speaker 2: eventually hospitalized her, and shingles is fucking no joke, especially
Speaker 2: at that age. Ruth Bader Ginsburg also she had secret
Speaker 2: shingles like that she wasn't really talking about and she
Speaker 2: couldn't shake it after a while because it had gone
Speaker 2: too far. And so you know, like right now, Feinstein
Speaker 2: is saying that she's gonna retire in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: But I think a lot of people are like, is
Speaker 2: that really necessary? Like, you know, like it's not like
Speaker 2: you're in a red state where the governor is gonna
Speaker 2: swap you out for like a sentient four Chan meme
Speaker 2: like Navin Newsom will put a Democrat in there and
Speaker 2: things can move happily along, and you know, Diane can
Speaker 2: live out her days in peace and potentially recover rather
Speaker 2: than have to like, as one staffer called it, put
Speaker 2: up this. They call it kabuki basically with how she's
Speaker 2: like she's looked at legislation and they said this this,
Speaker 2: these words don't make sense. She said that, and they're like,
Speaker 2: oh shit, And apparently like her chief of staff is
Speaker 2: kind of running things behind the scenes. It's been a
Speaker 2: very Yeah, it's just very difficult to watch. And there's
Speaker 2: like so many layers of like fucked up here. It's
Speaker 2: like the Democrats like, well, we need your ass to
Speaker 2: get these boats through, so get your ass over here.
Speaker 2: But also like we're not able to you know, like
Speaker 2: this is like a real problem we have in the
Speaker 2: in the US two about like being able to know
Speaker 2: when like we can rest and not have this mentality
Speaker 2: like we have to keep going or if I stop
Speaker 2: then this means X Y or Z.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it really been really hard watch.
Speaker 4: I saw that, I saw the picture that I see
Speaker 4: the video, but I saw the pictures in my immediately
Speaker 4: my immediate reaction was, is that Senator Palpatine's wife, Like
Speaker 4: she just looked so frail and like just out of
Speaker 4: like a movie you know, Star Wars, Like I feel like,
Speaker 4: just yeah, I just I don't understand why she's trying
Speaker 4: to cling to this power other than she wants the power, right,
Speaker 4: It just makes no sense.
Speaker 1: It's probably you know, like anything, right, Like when my
Speaker 1: like grandparents too, there's a there's a moment where they're like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm good, don't worry about me, and You're like,
Speaker 1: you're not good at all. Sometimes you can't leave it,
Speaker 1: leave the decision in their hands.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm sure on some level she doesn't want
Speaker 2: to admit that to herself, which I completely understand. But
Speaker 2: this is why, like, you know, a way like this
Speaker 2: is why we need shit like term limits, interments, and
Speaker 2: we need to stop like incentivizing like a gerontocracy in
Speaker 2: the Senate because of all these seniority rules and committee assignments,
Speaker 2: like it's like you want the oldest motherfuckers in there.
Speaker 1: Like so everything is like all bad about this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's just no good no good news. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I do appreciate you keeping it veiled by saying an
Speaker 1: elderly loved one miles about me, you know, coming back
Speaker 1: from being sick for a couple of days, and look,
Speaker 1: I'm not being fragile. I never thought humiliation was an
Speaker 1: effective tool this person. I've told you that. And when
Speaker 1: it's time for you to call time, Jack, it's time
Speaker 1: for you to call time. I'm not going to get you.
Speaker 2: But it is hard for people to watch that happen.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say that right now. It is heart
Speaker 2: it's heartbreaking, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The truth is shingles is devastating for a twenty or
Speaker 4: thirty year old or someone her age. I mean, just
Speaker 4: it's it makes it really just makes no sense. And
Speaker 4: I completely agree with you guys that we need to
Speaker 4: get termal limits. We need to the Democrats, especially as
Speaker 4: you get younger people in the House and Senate. We
Speaker 4: just if we want to attrack this next generation of voters,
Speaker 4: you know, it's not going to be done by the
Speaker 4: seventy eighty nine year old.
Speaker 1: You know, are there nations that have like a age
Speaker 1: limit or anything like that that I'm just curious, like
Speaker 1: any institutions that are like, Okay, well, we know that
Speaker 1: we're coming up on age seventy, which is when we're
Speaker 1: no longer allowed to have these jobs, and so we
Speaker 1: like have the infrastructure in place to create a new
Speaker 1: class of whatever whatever the job is.
Speaker 2: You know, like other countries definitely have term limits, term
Speaker 2: limits for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is it's a it's a mess. But like yeah,
Speaker 1: like i know, like with president with the who are
Speaker 1: two options they're going to be for the next present?
Speaker 1: Right too?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like for judges, I know, like I'm just reading Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Russia,
Speaker 2: South Africa, Spain, they all have term.
Speaker 1: Limits or mandatory retirement ages.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and especially when you look at like where we
Speaker 2: are in American history, this point in history, Like we
Speaker 2: can't have leaders or or legislators who are so divorced
Speaker 2: from like the outcomes of their decisions now because they're like,
Speaker 2: well I don't I'm not going to see what the
Speaker 2: fuck happens with the decision in ten years because the
Speaker 2: stakes are completely different. But yeah, like it's just like
Speaker 2: there's other levels too that are just like really gross,
Speaker 2: Like just hearing about how the staffers are like trying
Speaker 2: to hide it because they don't want to find other
Speaker 2: jobs and shit too, and it's at this it's set
Speaker 2: at this poor woman's expense, and it's.
Speaker 4: It's forty million people from California who are being underrepresented
Speaker 4: or not represented at all because of yeah, because of this, yeah,
Speaker 4: because of this right, and so those people are not
Speaker 4: getting a voice in California itself was already under presented
Speaker 4: because they only get two senators and you know, X
Speaker 4: amount of representatives and so yeah, it's just it's to me,
Speaker 4: it's the whole thing is ludicrous, and she should retire immediately.
Speaker 4: They should get someone else that can can actually represent
Speaker 4: forty million.
Speaker 2: People at the very least, yeah, and not have Like
Speaker 2: there was another time that I was reading this other
Speaker 2: article about like just kind of just the greatest hits
Speaker 2: of Peel being like.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, dive fi.
Speaker 2: She came up to Tim Senator Tim Scott from South Carolina,
Speaker 2: the black the lone black Republican senator, and she thought
Speaker 2: he was Rafael Warnock. No, yes, and she said, congrat
Speaker 2: I've been rooting for you. I'm so happy you're joining us,
Speaker 2: and blah blah blah, and Tim Scott apparently just played.
Speaker 1: Along like he knew what time it was already.
Speaker 2: Oh no, he was like, thank you so much, I
Speaker 2: really appreciate your support and kept it moving and you know,
Speaker 2: like This is kind of where you know, these are
Speaker 2: these are not the situations, but you need to be
Speaker 2: putting these people in. But at the same time, like
Speaker 2: we're also the messages that are like for a lot
Speaker 2: of the people that are in office, they just don't
Speaker 2: want to let go of that or either it can't.
Speaker 1: Be left in their hands and that anytime that's with
Speaker 1: it without term limits like that, you're going to end
Speaker 1: up leaving it in their hands. They're going to have
Speaker 1: to make the decision to back out of it, and
Speaker 1: they're never going to make that decision, or at least
Speaker 1: rarely will they make the decision. Like it's it's like
Speaker 1: any any job, any sport, like let letting a boxer
Speaker 1: decide when it's time to retire or you know anything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they they never make the right decision themselves, like we
Speaker 1: never make as humans. We don't make the right We're
Speaker 1: not the best at deciding when it's time to hang
Speaker 1: it up.
Speaker 4: No, I think Tom Brady has made the best decisions
Speaker 4: that around. As a new Patriot fan, I wish that
Speaker 4: he would come back and retire again.
Speaker 1: Hey man, he's he's got he's got wounds to heal. Man.
Speaker 2: Ever since he saw Giselle right off with the jiu
Speaker 2: jitsu guy in a slippery slope man, and in a
Speaker 2: way maybe he's like, I should have retired because there
Speaker 2: goes my there was my bay with the jiu jitsu
Speaker 2: man on a horse.
Speaker 1: Yeah all right. Elon Musk named Linda Yakarino as the
Speaker 1: new CEO of Twitter. She is leaving her job as
Speaker 1: Chairman of Global Advertising Partnerships at NBC Universal. So this
Speaker 1: is she like, it seems like it's basically really focusing
Speaker 1: on ad support and like getting getting ads. He it
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like he hired somebody who is experienced with
Speaker 1: like being a CEO. It's more like he is going
Speaker 1: to continue to be the acting CEO, and he's like,
Speaker 1: we need some we need some ad sales support, so
Speaker 1: I hire someone focused on the logic.
Speaker 2: Here of Elon Musk, right, he's like, I've turned this
Speaker 2: into a hate speech powered hell site that's caused all
Speaker 2: advertisers to flee.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not no, it surely can't be the
Speaker 1: lack of moderation and the racist free for all. It's
Speaker 1: that I don't have someone with all the advertiser connections
Speaker 1: that I need. So of course you get somebody's going
Speaker 1: from a gigantic media conglomerate with all these ad relationships
Speaker 1: as a way to prop up your business when it's
Speaker 1: so clear why they fled. But please, elon keep going.
Speaker 1: I'm sure she has a fantastic CV. Yeah. Well, it
Speaker 1: does seem like her politics might line up with his
Speaker 1: because she follows the Babylon b OH, which I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe she's just a fan of really great comedy, but
Speaker 1: you know that's the right wing, the onion. But like
Speaker 1: their jokes are just fucking transphobic garbage.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not jokes. As a shiny Pi would say,
Speaker 2: it would be a misuse of words how I would
Speaker 2: describe that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, also follows the head of libs of TikTok on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Oh and she was part of Trump's Council on Sports,
Speaker 1: Fitness and Nutrition, although.
Speaker 4: She also worked Who else was on that?
Speaker 1: Right, That's where I get all my I get most
Speaker 1: of my nutrition and health and fitness advice from.
Speaker 4: CEO McDonald's was on there.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, yeah, but she also worked for the Biden administration,
Speaker 1: creating an advertising campaign for the COVID vaccinations starring the Pope.
Speaker 2: Oh oh wow, you know who is on that on
Speaker 2: that council Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1: Hell really yeah, Yankees closer Mariano rivera doctor oz who
Speaker 1: had bin Meyer and herschel Walker there yeah yeah among men. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but because the new CEO espoused vaccines and masking and
Speaker 1: you know, social justice in the past and is a
Speaker 1: woman Elon musk famboys are melting down and ri i P.
Speaker 1: Twitter started trending at the end of the last week
Speaker 1: when it was announced these people don't know anything about
Speaker 1: fucking anything really all right, okay, sure you love to
Speaker 1: see it when they're when they're hateful politics like trap them,
Speaker 1: like come back to bite them in the ass. Like
Speaker 1: this reminds me of like when Gina Carano thing where
Speaker 1: she like self destructed her career for her like anti
Speaker 1: woke politics went and made an action movie for the
Speaker 1: Daily Wire, and like the Daily Wire fans were like,
Speaker 1: why would we ever watch this? It stars a woman
Speaker 1: doing action crap. No way, that's woke. Pull that's woke bs.
Speaker 2: Man, I'd be like, what, oh yeah, I mean it's
Speaker 2: uh that boomerang does does come back pretty quickly. I
Speaker 2: like how people are just like they just said, rip Twitter,
Speaker 2: you just appointed a brain dead comedy as CEO. I'll
Speaker 2: get this out there now, fuck Linda Yakarino and everybody else,
Speaker 2: and like really really yeah this yeah, this person, Yeah,
Speaker 2: they're such a communist. But again on me, they don't
Speaker 2: even know what communist is. It's someone who believes in science,
Speaker 2: I think at this point is a communist.
Speaker 4: And Elon is still going to be involved, right, Like
Speaker 4: he's going to be the CTO still or something like that?
Speaker 4: Is that is that what I heard?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's still going to be the CEO? Like this
Speaker 1: is true. I think I feel like he's probably he
Speaker 1: was probably getting pressure from the board around you know,
Speaker 1: his horrifying mishandling and like of every just doing a
Speaker 1: terrible job as the CEO of Twitter. And so he's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll name a CEO who will have no power and
Speaker 1: we'll just only be focused on getting AD sales back,
Speaker 1: and then we'll fire her once they can't resuscitate ad sales.
Speaker 4: Right, Like, I've been three six months? How long do
Speaker 4: you should we make a prediction? Is it six months?
Speaker 4: Is it a year that that she's there before she's
Speaker 4: fired for not bringing the I mean.
Speaker 2: I mean, could her relationships actually get them to look
Speaker 2: past just how like garbage of a site Twitter is
Speaker 2: do you like, don't like, is that logic really get
Speaker 2: to track with? Like, I mean, she's got relationships GM,
Speaker 2: surely like she can get them to come back to
Speaker 2: the table.
Speaker 1: But I'm I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean, for a lot of right wing media out there,
Speaker 4: there are advertisers that want to advertise on those platforms,
Speaker 4: and if Twitter continues to be this kind of cesspool
Speaker 4: of uh, you know, conservative, right wing racist thought, you
Speaker 4: know there is there are people that want to reach
Speaker 4: that audience unfortunately right and yeah.
Speaker 2: But they don't have I guess that's the difference is
Speaker 2: they don't have the spending power that would keep the
Speaker 2: website going like a General Motors would, because it's just
Speaker 2: going to be like some crypto scheme that you know,
Speaker 2: it's like.
Speaker 1: About pillow company, yeah, or like Pepe the Frog coin
Speaker 1: or some shit like that. But yeah, Linda Yakerino hard
Speaker 1: harder Row, I feel like companies are still a little
Speaker 1: hesitant to like go full full on board, like there
Speaker 1: is enough elon Musk and like I'm sure like the
Speaker 1: CEOs of those companies in the privacy of their own
Speaker 1: right wing like Nazi memorabilia. Dungeons probably would would love
Speaker 1: to like openly come out and support of this sort
Speaker 1: of thing, but they recognize that it's not popular. But
Speaker 1: I am starting to feel, like we talked before about
Speaker 1: how like America was ripe for a nineteen eighties like
Speaker 1: Reaganite reversion, like popular culture like goes full bore right
Speaker 1: wing and like embraces a like republican right wing president.
Speaker 1: I could see that, like things are starting to shape
Speaker 1: up in a direction where if it's Biden versus Trump,
Speaker 1: and like Trump seems to have a little bit more
Speaker 1: mental acuity than Biden does, Like I could see that
Speaker 1: being if Trump gets re elected, I could see that
Speaker 1: being the thing that all these CEOs are like, Okay,
Speaker 1: finally we can just like go full mask off, like
Speaker 1: this is what America wants. We all, like, right, are
Speaker 1: going to advertise with Elon Musk and like get fully
Speaker 1: on board. Can always get worse. I guess it's my
Speaker 1: read on this. So yeah, like I as much as
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense in the current you know zeitgeist,
Speaker 1: for like Twitter to suddenly like be able to turn
Speaker 1: the ad sales around and like for GM to start
Speaker 1: like advertising on right wing platforms. I could see a
Speaker 1: future where that's the case, and where everything just kind
Speaker 1: of turns in that direction because certainly the people who
Speaker 1: make the decisions at those companies like they are on
Speaker 1: board with that. They are they all in the privacy
Speaker 1: of their own, you know, conversations with each other, are
Speaker 1: having the conversations where they are like, yeah, we need
Speaker 1: like we need to stop being so woke. All right,
Speaker 1: I'm sick of hearing about how I'm making too much money. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course I'm making more money than an entry level
Speaker 1: person like coming because I'm the CEO. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So do we think AMC is going to be advertising
Speaker 4: their their new candy that they make on on Twitter
Speaker 4: anytime soon?
Speaker 1: We'll see potentially potentially, I mean I might be advertised.
Speaker 1: I still have to taste test it. We'll see, we'll
Speaker 1: see how good it is. But yeah, another thing that
Speaker 1: we might be getting on Twitter is so I guess
Speaker 1: this is something they tried before Twitter Blue, where so
Speaker 1: Twitter could become a dating app. According to noted relationship
Speaker 1: expert Elon Musk, he reportedly is considering adding a dating
Speaker 1: app feature to Twitter, just in case people were worried
Speaker 1: that it wasn't a hellish enough site already, and the
Speaker 1: idea stemmed from a tweet from some guy who claimed
Speaker 1: that a Twitter data app might save humanity from extinction,
Speaker 1: which we always know that we always know Elon Musk
Speaker 1: is worried about saving humanity from extinction with his dick,
Speaker 1: that's of course, So yeah, that's the that's the way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: No need to worry about the ravages of climate change
Speaker 1: or just.
Speaker 2: Worry about ad app. Yeah a d hold on, This
Speaker 2: guy's not fucking enough. The world's gonna end.
Speaker 1: Racists aren't fucking enough. Yeah, truly. So he responded to
Speaker 1: that tweet by saying, it's an interesting idea that could
Speaker 1: provide jobs, because that's how he gets his business ideas,
Speaker 1: is just scouring his mentions, I guess, yeah, replying with
Speaker 1: the crying laughing emoji and that could provide jobs? Was
Speaker 1: that him pretending to be like a politician. Yeah, he's like,
Speaker 1: oh interesting, and that could provide jobs?
Speaker 4: Yeah, like yes, yes, could provide him with additional children too,
Speaker 4: doesn't he have like twenty kids with and.
Speaker 1: He's trying to repopulate the year like all on his own. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there already was once an official unofficial Twitter dating site
Speaker 1: called Blue. It was a dating service only for verified
Speaker 1: Twitter users, which I never having been a verified Twitter user,
Speaker 1: I was not aware of this, but just a small
Speaker 1: fraction of the people using Twitter were able to use it, obviously,
Speaker 1: and the idea was to match people by analyzing the
Speaker 1: contents of their tweets. Oh fuck, which sounds just awful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, hey, with a new AI, maybe they
Speaker 2: can refine that a little bit more.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they bragged that Blue was the safest
Speaker 1: dating community ever due to Twitter's verification system, but that obviously,
Speaker 1: since they have like turned the verification the verified tweet
Speaker 1: into like a mockery of what it once was, they
Speaker 1: no longer can can make that claim. But it will
Speaker 1: be a place, I guess, exclusively for racist Elon musk
Speaker 1: reply guys to like find each other and date one
Speaker 1: another if they're so inclined, and maybe otilate the planet
Speaker 1: and repopulate the affiliate with the worst humans that you
Speaker 1: can possibly imagine. Rise of the pick me Elon guys.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and talk about AMC candy and we're back. And yeah,
Speaker 1: so AMC has basically said, fuck it, we'll make our
Speaker 1: own candy. We'll do it live. Fuck it, we'll do
Speaker 1: it live. Wow.
Speaker 4: All right, Bill, guys, I have a poster on my
Speaker 4: wall that says that I don't know if you can
Speaker 4: see it, fuck it, we'll do it live.
Speaker 2: The famous Bill O'Reilly quote to play us out, fuck
Speaker 2: it live.
Speaker 1: Okay, But AMC has reported that they're struggling with supply
Speaker 1: chain issues with candy companies, which are now charging thirty
Speaker 1: three percent more for their products. Apparently AMC doesn't like
Speaker 1: the idea of paying jacked up prices for candy, which
Speaker 1: is interesting because they love jacking up the prices on
Speaker 1: everything else. Right, But uh yeah, they're they're considering making
Speaker 1: their own candy where I guess they've they've announced they're
Speaker 1: going to do that. It just seems like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: like off brand candy is is a thing, but it's
Speaker 1: never a thing that seems to go very well.
Speaker 2: You're actually you're you're doing the absolute opposite of what
Speaker 2: people want when they go spend money, because you're doing
Speaker 2: the thing that all like you know, kids of frugal
Speaker 2: parents or like immigrant kids, or they're like, oh, we
Speaker 2: have red vines at home type of you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, and it ain't that, and then we then
Speaker 2: we from all that pain become the kind the consumers are, like,
Speaker 2: I will only eat name brand candies because I did
Speaker 2: not have them as a child, just to go to
Speaker 2: AMC and then get some like Kroger brand, you know,
Speaker 2: blue label candies. I don't know that's you're kind of
Speaker 2: taking the excitement out for the consumer. But I guess,
Speaker 2: like unless they unless they do the thing where it's like,
Speaker 2: I mean, you could buy the name brand ship for
Speaker 2: seventy two dollars, or you can buy our five dollars
Speaker 2: box of candies. Like maybe that juxtaposition would help.
Speaker 4: I wish that they would work on bettering the popcorn,
Speaker 4: you know, get the real butter in there, and yeah
Speaker 4: that that fake shit. You know. I just when we
Speaker 4: go to our local theater, you know, that's that's why
Speaker 4: we go.
Speaker 2: Just like you know, they got the butter, the real stuff, ah,
Speaker 2: not the coconut oil exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 2: I mean that coconut oil sometimes it it does hit,
Speaker 2: but not like the real thing.
Speaker 1: Ain't nothing like the real thing. There's no food that
Speaker 1: I have so consistently eaten and that is so consistently
Speaker 1: made me feel sick. Then a see movie popcorn, I
Speaker 1: will eat that ship yeah, every single time, Like there's
Speaker 1: just something. If I'm at a movie and I'm not
Speaker 1: eating popcorn, I can smell the other people eating popcorn,
Speaker 1: like I feel like I've like missed something, you know,
Speaker 1: but right, and then I eat a whole medium sized
Speaker 1: popcorn and feel horrible, like my body is like this
Speaker 1: is not food. This is bad. This is like it's
Speaker 1: yelling at me. And I still still do it every
Speaker 1: single time.
Speaker 4: When I saw a top Gun, I was done with
Speaker 4: my popcorn before the movie even began because the previews
Speaker 4: were like half an hour. Yeah, it's like what do
Speaker 4: I do now?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I love the way that the head of AMC really
Speaker 2: tried to make it seem like this is for the consumer,
Speaker 2: Like I mean, with the price is so high, I mean,
Speaker 2: it only makes sense for us to create a high
Speaker 2: quality private Like you said, high quality private label. I
Speaker 2: love that almost like it does almost sound good when
Speaker 2: it was private label brand. Yeah yeah, chocolate candy coated
Speaker 2: shells or whatever you calling it M and MS. But really, again,
Speaker 2: you're saying that to fucking shareholders when really what you're
Speaker 2: saying is and so we can make way more money
Speaker 2: because the margins on this shit are home be fat. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, that's really what we're doing here. But I
Speaker 2: just don't understand, Like, no one, you can't. There's a
Speaker 2: reason why these these candy companies have been around. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because they've spent fucking decades inside people's minds being like
Speaker 2: this is the only option for candy. It's Eminem's, it's
Speaker 2: Reese's Pieces, it's Twizzlers, it's souragat kids. Yeah, Junior Min's
Speaker 2: fucking Goobers if you're so inclined, you know, all of
Speaker 2: those things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, like Wrigley, like all the all those those
Speaker 1: are like old legacy, like the those those companies have,
Speaker 1: like like families that have generational wealth. At this point,
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a reason that it's not like
Speaker 1: people are like, all right, you can get our like
Speaker 1: restaurants like T shirt and also our proprietary candy brand,
Speaker 1: you know, right, like the T It feels like there's
Speaker 1: like a bar for entry in making candy that I
Speaker 1: don't know, though, I guess. I guess like middle schools
Speaker 1: and elementary schools like sell those candies. So maybe, yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like maybe I'm being too hard on them.
Speaker 4: I feel like they should go to the local route
Speaker 4: and offer up, you know, in every city, you know,
Speaker 4: the local kind of candy, patures or whatever. Right, that
Speaker 4: to me seems like something that maybe people would be
Speaker 4: Maybe it might be a little.
Speaker 1: Cha that's too woke.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's probably true. Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry your local candies.
Speaker 2: We can't do that, But I mean, yeah, that that
Speaker 2: would be the kind it would be nice to have
Speaker 2: more like regionally focused concessions. Yeah, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 2: why can't I get like in La.
Speaker 1: We like spicy shit? Why can't I get spicy popcorn?
Speaker 1: Like just fucking do that kind of shit?
Speaker 2: But again, it's so funny that even again, like this
Speaker 2: is like the Rhonda Santis first Disney thing. I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm for the big company, Like, stop trying to fuck
Speaker 2: up Hershey's.
Speaker 1: Money, what's wrong with y'all?
Speaker 4: But hey, do you guys have salt and straw down there?
Speaker 4: Would love some salt and straw ice cream in the movie.
Speaker 1: That'd be great. Yeah, what is like? Yeah, like what's uh,
Speaker 1: what's what would be a local Los Angeles candy like
Speaker 1: I don't even know what the fuck sees is.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, oh yeah sees that's right, Okay, I mean,
Speaker 2: but C's is like hmmm.
Speaker 1: See now I'm like thinking, I'm like, do I want
Speaker 1: to be eating big old pieces of chocolate that are
Speaker 1: melting in my hand when I'm watching it? Right? The
Speaker 1: only candy like it is it does seem like chocolate
Speaker 1: is the one that gets the off brand treatment, right,
Speaker 1: like they those like when you would like go around,
Speaker 1: I remember, I forget what I was raising money for
Speaker 1: as a kid, but like you, you could go around
Speaker 1: and sell like the different candy bars and oh yeah
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, and there would be like the caramel ones
Speaker 1: that I would eat like three of them and just
Speaker 1: like make my parents pay for pay for those ones.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I remember. Is that the quality we're going
Speaker 1: to be getting is just like caramel nut bar like
Speaker 1: in private label times New Roman, like clearly printed on
Speaker 1: like a yeah, with private label like clearly printed on
Speaker 1: a dot matrix printer yea.
Speaker 2: And or or that all the labels are like on
Speaker 2: like like a big laser jet printer or mailing label sheet,
Speaker 2: just clearly peeling off and slapping them on. You're like
Speaker 2: damn this is is this safe?
Speaker 1: Has just gone? Like? Is this FDA approved?
Speaker 4: You know, I wish that movie theaters had sold Girl
Speaker 4: Scout cookies and on a bottle of milk. That would
Speaker 4: be that would be great for me to oh yeah yeah,
Speaker 4: get some thin mints, you know, and and a nice
Speaker 4: glass I think of great.
Speaker 1: I really challenged the head of AMC to really think
Speaker 1: like a fucking just predatory capitalist and think of like
Speaker 1: businesses who are like, oh, they would fucking give it
Speaker 1: away for us to sell at the theaters and like.
Speaker 2: We got their asses. But instead they're like, no, we'll
Speaker 2: make our own candy that no one's.
Speaker 1: Gonna fuck with. Yeah, okay, fine, you greedy bastard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure the working conditions of the AMC proprietary candy
Speaker 1: factory they're gonna be great.
Speaker 2: Jack again, this is this quote, I love it from
Speaker 2: CEO adam Era, and it said that got us thinking
Speaker 2: very hard about our candy. We realized that we could
Speaker 2: manufacture a private label brand of candy to very high
Speaker 2: quality standards, price it less expensively than our current candy
Speaker 2: is price, and have a higher profit margin because our
Speaker 2: cost of manufacture the private label brand is so much
Speaker 2: less than the normal brands that you've seen in our
Speaker 2: previous three year goodness.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, private labels, here we go. I mean I
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, it's just like even that I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think of, I'm so fucking brand loyal I'm kind
Speaker 1: of disgusted with myself, like at the thought of being
Speaker 1: like can I eat this kind of chocolate peanut butter,
Speaker 1: candy coated spears or whatever? Weird like just generic description
Speaker 1: that they give them. Well, AMC's doing a thing that
Speaker 1: like they you know, they are a monopoly, so like
Speaker 1: it's like the place that people that you have to
Speaker 1: go see movies, and they're confusing that with like people
Speaker 1: really like us as a brand, Like so they have
Speaker 1: the Nicole Kittman thing. They like, have the AMC. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they have the AMC like club rewards and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: I just feel like they're probably misunderstanding overestimating our interest
Speaker 1: in being like what would they do with candy? Like
Speaker 1: what would I bet? I bet their candy would be
Speaker 1: really good?
Speaker 2: It's giving me big DNC vibes. Yeah, you know, or
Speaker 2: the Democrats like they love us, right, we don't have
Speaker 2: to do anything because the options are bullshit around, so
Speaker 2: we're good.
Speaker 1: They're gonna love everything we do.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, I was like, na, man, I held my fucking
Speaker 2: nose in the last election.
Speaker 1: Yeah fuck, I don't fuck.
Speaker 2: With this, but there is nothing else you have a
Speaker 2: monopoly on, not so outwardly fascist shit. You guys kind
Speaker 2: of hide it better than the Republicans. That's the only
Speaker 2: reason why I'm here, not because I love the fucking
Speaker 2: Brand're like, oh, they're gonna love this new slate of candidates.
Speaker 1: We march out. We're all in their eighties. This is
Speaker 1: funny that, like they're trying to take the credit for
Speaker 1: the movies. Like you guys like movies, right, Well, that's us.
Speaker 1: We're the movie people. Yeah, Like Nicole Kitman's watching the
Speaker 1: movies here, and like you like movies. You're that kid
Speaker 1: from school we were friends with because they had a pool. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's all it was.
Speaker 2: And I'm sorry to tell you that it was because
Speaker 2: you had a pool, okay, and we stood by while
Speaker 2: you made terrible off color jokes about shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you had the pool, all right. Well, speaking
Speaker 1: of movies, Disney lost millions of subscribers, and a lot
Speaker 1: of people in the media are suggesting, especially on the right,
Speaker 1: that it's because they're too woke. They recently revealed they
Speaker 1: lost another four million Disney Plus subscribers in the first
Speaker 1: quarter of twenty two a lot. That is a lot
Speaker 1: of subscribers because Loki. Yeah, so the this is from
Speaker 1: Breitbart headline from Breitbart. Disney Plus subscriptions plummet by four
Speaker 1: million as studio keeps pushing transgender drag queen content because
Speaker 1: Loki is gender fluid, I guess. And so they're they're
Speaker 1: claiming that, of course they have that is making Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's the reason. And then yeah, yeah, the real
Speaker 1: reason is that when they bought Fox, Disney acquired hot
Speaker 1: Star in India, which had a five year deal to
Speaker 1: stream professional cricket, but Disney Plus. Hot Star lost the
Speaker 1: streaming rights last year when they were outbid by a
Speaker 1: rival company, me for three billion dollars. So they still
Speaker 1: have the TV rights, but they don't have it on
Speaker 1: Disney Plus. So it's like a thing that was driving
Speaker 1: a huge portion of their business that most Americans probably
Speaker 1: weren't even aware like existed, and it has no you know,
Speaker 1: no implication gender fluidity.
Speaker 4: The second time that you guys have mentioned cricket in
Speaker 4: the last week. Is this a new theme.
Speaker 1: For the show?
Speaker 2: Yea, And with Saudia was on, we know we were
Speaker 2: talking about cricket. Yeah, with Saudia Khn also, I look
Speaker 2: at cricket. It's like I think it's the invisible hand
Speaker 2: that's guiding our markets. You know, people need to wake up.
Speaker 2: That's just always watched theuth Asians were coming. Guys, you've
Speaker 2: gotta watch out.
Speaker 1: They're like, you're gonna learn about cricket now. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: they also lost some subscribers in the US, and people
Speaker 1: are looking for you know, to blame that on wokeness
Speaker 1: and not on them jacking up their prices twice in
Speaker 1: the same here, Yeah, which probably has more to do
Speaker 1: with it. No, no, it's but but they they love
Speaker 1: the Google woke, go broke thing. They ain't going broke, man.
Speaker 1: They know how to make money.
Speaker 2: Like it's this not that it's not that they're just
Speaker 2: they'll yeah, they'll shed some subscribers when it's.
Speaker 1: A bridge too far for the cost. But that's that's
Speaker 1: what's going on here.
Speaker 4: If there's any brand out there that knows their audience,
Speaker 4: it's Disney and Marvel and in the Star Wars Universe, right,
Speaker 4: like like they're not gonna people aren't leaving because Loki
Speaker 4: what what the character was trenent Arectly, they're leaving for
Speaker 4: other reasons, economic reasons and and whatnot. So yeah, totally agree.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean, yeah, look, someone who has been
Speaker 2: leeching off someone else's Disney Plus account.
Speaker 1: I wish I could say like, yeah.
Speaker 2: Man, I'm giving them my money, but there's too many
Speaker 2: damn subscriptions, so many plus you know, shout out to
Speaker 2: the homies with the plex servers that you know, put
Speaker 2: the content up.
Speaker 1: There cost free for your boy. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But yeah, cricket though great business, big business reminds me
Speaker 2: of It's starting to remind me of Succession with Joe Goo. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because he's already he got he got some he's got
Speaker 2: like some fluctuating numbers in India as well.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, this is all art imitating life. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel I feel like, yeah, succession should should be
Speaker 1: educational for for everyone, like be viewed as like the
Speaker 1: the and these are the reasons the decisions are made.
Speaker 1: It's like pure ego and bullshit and trying to look
Speaker 1: cool in a meeting.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, because I think like a like a venture
Speaker 2: between Paramount and another investor, the ones who bought the rights.
Speaker 2: So it's like, you know, Paramount came in and swooped
Speaker 2: up those cricket rights.
Speaker 1: That's what happened.
Speaker 2: It's just you know, it's company fighting that's happening. And
Speaker 2: I guess you know, with rohndis Hantis being like, well,
Speaker 2: we don't need social studies books about the Holocaust, then
Speaker 2: maybe he maybe he is a step closer to being like, yeah,
Speaker 2: Succession is the new business education show that we will share.
Speaker 1: The goods well aside. It's been such a pleasure having
Speaker 1: you on the daily Zeitgeist. Where can people find you?

Speaker 4: really journal listening to and some some awesome work. I
Speaker 4: wish that he had a chance to ask Trump some
Speaker 4: questions last week because I think he would have gotten
Speaker 4: a lot more out of that interview than than what
