Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of thanks
Speaker 1: Trending Mashed Potatoes, O'Brian and Miles of Gravy back together again,
Speaker 1: slathered slathered on one another.
Speaker 2: I am suck. I'm not I'm not joking. My grandfather
Speaker 2: used to he used to have a barbecue restaurant and
Speaker 2: he was smoked turkeys and like all the like when
Speaker 2: the Raiders went to La they will all come to
Speaker 2: him to get a Thanksgiving turkey, like one of his
Speaker 2: smoke turkeys. And he passed away a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: But this year I found a spot that was smoking
Speaker 2: turkeys and I got a smoke turkey in, you know,
Speaker 2: just to kind of commemorate, you know, bring the memory
Speaker 2: back of my grandfather. But like at the spot, they're
Speaker 2: like you can also buy they have like smoke turkey gravy.
Speaker 2: Because I wasn't just gonna make my own gravy. I
Speaker 2: was like, give me that. I bought so much gravy
Speaker 2: that I'm going.
Speaker 1: To just turn to gravy. Yeah I might need that
Speaker 1: because I put together a shopping list and it the
Speaker 1: gravy we got looks kind of like military ration gravy,
Speaker 1: you know, pre mixed in a Yeah, so I'm excited,
Speaker 1: though I did wait in an hour at a Honey
Speaker 1: Baked ham to pick up a ham. Yes, nice, it's
Speaker 1: a blast. Yeah it was an hour mana Glen.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah that one. Yep, there's another one. There's another
Speaker 2: one in the cut in like Pasadena. That's also like like,
Speaker 2: I mean there's only like a couple left anyway in La.
Speaker 2: But yeah, anyway, here we are getting our arteries everything
Speaker 2: ready for the turkey the turk. All right, well, welcome back.
Speaker 2: By the way, you were out for a couple of days.
Speaker 2: Was the family. I went to Disneyland with the with
Speaker 2: our nieces and the little baby. Uh and there's some
Speaker 2: in laws and it I don't know why. I it's
Speaker 2: the most fucking crowded time. It's I think it's quite
Speaker 2: literally the worst time to go. I think when Amanda
Speaker 2: was on from the Keys to the Kingdom podcast and
Speaker 2: I was like, that's like the worst time to go. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: giving you freak.
Speaker 1: What do you mean? You roll up and you're like
Speaker 1: is this the worst time? And the people that did,
Speaker 1: like even Mickey Mouse is like yeah, no, ship man.
Speaker 2: Holy ship man, Like we know he has track marks
Speaker 2: on his arm here.
Speaker 1: He's like, it's a fucking stressful boy, I tell you.
Speaker 2: My guts hurt, buddy.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, hey, speaking of yeah, good good Victory Light
Speaker 1: podcast called Victory Light. Everybody checking out Ki Mara, Yeah
Speaker 1: if you if you aren't listening, you should be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's oh man, they got a his co hosts
Speaker 2: are amazing too. So for the people who missed Bodego boys,
Speaker 2: Victory Light is a welcome, welcome treasure.
Speaker 1: The art is back, as the art is back, all right.
Speaker 1: Speaking of the art, the art of the negotiation, Joe
Speaker 1: Biden just single handedly brought about a ceasefire.
Speaker 2: I mean, way to rebrand wheeler dealer. Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: we this is not a this is a humanitarian pause.
Speaker 2: But now the language of ceasefire is being very quickly
Speaker 2: adopted because yeah, right, oh boy, Biden sees for biden Omics.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think, yeah, what the agreement is for
Speaker 2: between four and six days of less bombing, like there's
Speaker 2: still gonna be military operations run, Like I do you
Speaker 2: know the full details, but I do know that they
Speaker 2: have basically said we are like the second it's over,
Speaker 2: we're right back to it. So there will be time
Speaker 2: for a hostage swap fifty Israelis for one hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty Palestinians, some of them, you know, children that are
Speaker 2: in prison. Wrap your head around that one. Why are
Speaker 2: these why are they jailing Palestinian children? And then you
Speaker 2: know there's just age is supposed to get in there.
Speaker 2: But this is such a small like there's like the
Speaker 2: bear minimum right now, given what the situation is. And
Speaker 2: I can't, like again, we say this all the time.
Speaker 2: Shit just looks more and more grim every time I
Speaker 2: see any kind of any footage coming out of Gaza.
Speaker 1: Yeah, at the same time, like this is a step,
Speaker 1: it is something. Oh, I mean this is better than nothing,
Speaker 1: for sure, Yes, for sure. And you know Amen was
Speaker 1: saying like you should follow the story, but not necessarily
Speaker 1: through the Western media, but through like the Israeli media,
Speaker 1: and uh they are describing it as an agreement broker
Speaker 1: by Qatar between Israel and Hamas, which that's not the
Speaker 1: story I'm being told by.
Speaker 2: It was all Joe Biden. Oh you're the guy who said, yeah,
Speaker 2: he's fired, not possible. Who was saying that outline? I mean,
Speaker 2: that's like the weird thing when like his rhetoric so
Speaker 2: outwardly was like, Nah, that shit ain't happening, and like
Speaker 2: I'm part of me. I'm like, is that just like
Speaker 2: state craft because you to have Netzenga who think that
Speaker 2: you're like there, but you're obviously backchanneling all this other stuff.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, like that, the rhetoric that
Speaker 2: was needed from the President of the United States was
Speaker 2: much more forceful than that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the problem with net Nyaho, like getting net
Speaker 1: Yahu to do something is not being nice to him.
Speaker 1: It's like that he thinks America will do whatever he
Speaker 1: asks them to. But regardless, it does feel like it's
Speaker 1: being covered in US media as Biden was feeling pressure
Speaker 1: from the bad pulling and he was applying pressure on Israel,
Speaker 1: like more pressure than he would have otherwise been. So
Speaker 1: I mean, in that respect, I don't know, it's like
Speaker 1: somewhat hopeful. That gives me some hope that like, things
Speaker 1: are working the way they're supposed to in one very
Speaker 1: specific respect, and we don't know how long the ceasefire
Speaker 1: is going to last or how effective it's going to be,
Speaker 1: but it's definitely something so yeah, to pass it along, it's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's also just odd to like and then
Speaker 2: see like Democrats be like, oh, this is needed, and
Speaker 2: that like the good thank you Joe Biden, Like two
Speaker 2: weeks ago you were like, yo, let's let them cook.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so what the fun for this was being described as.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, an anti Semitic attack. Yes, but again, this
Speaker 2: is why this is a huge if and you can
Speaker 2: only describe this as a humanitarian pause. That's it because
Speaker 2: the the the military operations will resume, and so I
Speaker 2: mean that's why this is a first step. But you'd
Speaker 2: hope like that this is part of lasting pressure. And
Speaker 2: I know people around the world are like just begging
Speaker 2: their governments, imploring them to get behind an actual ceasefire,
Speaker 2: to like get something figured out, because this is not
Speaker 2: how this is not what people want to keep witnessing.
Speaker 2: And I'm sure for people who live in like you know,
Speaker 2: countries that supply arms to Israel don't want to feel
Speaker 2: like they are a party to that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. All right, Well, Thanksgiving travel, which is seeing record
Speaker 1: numbers this year, is unsafe due to a shortage of
Speaker 1: air marshals. Oh, which I had always assumed like there
Speaker 1: was some evidence for like that air marshals were like
Speaker 1: helping in some way, like behind the scenes or I
Speaker 1: don't know, because it's just like, right, you just hear
Speaker 1: about it and you assume like, well, that seems like
Speaker 1: a good idea to I don't know, have somebody there
Speaker 1: in case shit goes down and an interview with the
Speaker 1: director of the Air Marshal National Council went on Trocks
Speaker 1: News to complain that Thanksgiving was in jeopardy because so
Speaker 1: many air marshals have been deployed to the southern border
Speaker 1: to help with ushering in illegal immigrants. They're actually helping
Speaker 1: distribute water to people, which is a basic human right.
Speaker 2: Hold on, let's just check that. Yep. Okay, yep, water water,
Speaker 2: That should be a basic human right, Yeah, yeah, yep, yeah,
Speaker 2: but they're ushering them in like the R and B singer.
Speaker 1: Okay, but it was so it's it's just interesting like
Speaker 1: that this idea that we're we're short staffed with our
Speaker 1: air marshals has caused some people to be like, well,
Speaker 1: let's let's take a look at this program. It was
Speaker 1: it was started in the sixties with like a small
Speaker 1: number of agents assigned to flights that were deemed to
Speaker 1: be high risk of hijacking. I'm sure it was those
Speaker 1: were not deemed to be high risk of hijacking for
Speaker 1: racist reasons at all.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, who like this sixties in the United States,
Speaker 2: and they're like.
Speaker 1: Well shit, And then they massively expanded after nine to eleven,
Speaker 1: two thousands of covert agents traveling with cover stories both
Speaker 1: domestically and internationally, a time when the nation collectively lost
Speaker 1: their fucking mind, and you know, with is i'm aphobia
Speaker 1: among many other things. So people are understandably critical of
Speaker 1: the you know skycop idea thank youky cop just every
Speaker 1: time when my plane lands safely, I just put my
Speaker 1: hands up and I say thank you skycop.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you sky cop. Askaby cops.
Speaker 1: But cost as much as one billion dollars a year
Speaker 1: to taxpayers, and they have looked into like what it's preventing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know, like cops of all sorts will ben
Speaker 1: will find the statistics to be like, this is weird
Speaker 1: savings fucking lives out here.
Speaker 2: They will they will lay out thirty six dollars in
Speaker 2: cash next to a weed pipe and a bag of
Speaker 2: cocaine and be like, yeah, look, check out this fucking
Speaker 2: bust we just did.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So uh, in the in the way of evidence
Speaker 1: that sky cops are working. We've got not shit that really, like,
Speaker 1: I haven't stopped anything. And you know, they've existed for
Speaker 1: decades now at the level at post nine to eleven levels,
Speaker 1: haven't faced a real terror threat during an actual flight,
Speaker 1: and far more air marshals have actually been arrested than terrorists.
Speaker 1: So at twenty sixteen Pro public report, thank god for
Speaker 1: Pro Publica. By the way, they're just like the only
Speaker 1: people out here, like issuing foyer request foy mob. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they revealed that air marshals were themselves arrested one
Speaker 1: hundred and forty eight times from November two thousand and
Speaker 1: two to February twenty twelve for crimes ranging from aiding
Speaker 1: a human trafficking ring to attempted murder. It's like minor stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, easy, he's easy, but yeah, look that
Speaker 2: is martial business.
Speaker 1: Also charged with more than five thousand cases of misconduct
Speaker 1: during that period. One air marshal used his badge to
Speaker 1: smuggle drugs past airport security. Another used his to lure
Speaker 1: a young child to his hotel room. Uh in cyclas.
Speaker 2: And yeah, yeah, because you have a group of people
Speaker 2: who already I can't imagine the mindset of someone who's like, oh,
Speaker 2: what do I do? I basically have that thing on
Speaker 2: me and I get on a plane and I.
Speaker 1: Keep done on. Yeah, like all the power and apparently
Speaker 1: like the mental health is like not great, like the
Speaker 1: you know they describe. The agency's culture is described as
Speaker 1: mind numbing and toxic. Air Marshals are reportedly plagued by depression,
Speaker 1: have experienced psychotic episodes, and the program has suffered a
Speaker 1: rash of suicides. According to one union's twenty eighteen letter,
Speaker 1: the agency experiences three to five suicides a year of
Speaker 1: active duty or recently retired to air marshals, which is
Speaker 1: a locked Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: I think I then this is like a thing too
Speaker 2: where like they're randomly scattered, so it's like there ain't
Speaker 2: enough of them for flights. I mean, we've talked about
Speaker 2: this before, where it's like there's not enough of them
Speaker 2: for the number of flights to really be able to
Speaker 2: guarantee that nothing is going to go down. It's just
Speaker 2: more like it's like putting up like a fake surveillance camera. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like plastic and people like, oh, I don't know
Speaker 2: that thing might be on I don't know, So just
Speaker 2: the fear of that it might be your flight, I
Speaker 2: think is the only thing I guess preventing things. But
Speaker 2: also again to your point, have has there been anything
Speaker 2: where they've actually had to go into action? Doesn't seem
Speaker 2: like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like they don't even get the you know how
Speaker 1: like pilots and people like flight attendants are famously like hot,
Speaker 1: famously hot, but also famously like not great sleep schedules
Speaker 1: and all are having to be protected from horrible sleep
Speaker 1: things like they don't even air marshals don't even have
Speaker 1: those protections. So these people who have guns on our
Speaker 1: flights and are like struggling with mental health issues like,
Speaker 1: are being treated like absolute shit by the companies that,
Speaker 1: you know, by the organizations that are in charge of
Speaker 1: like you know, making sure that they actually are there
Speaker 1: to do a job that they allegedly have to do.
Speaker 2: Right just seeing like how long, like on an international
Speaker 2: leg that they have to be up for nineteen hours
Speaker 2: of nineteen hours of continuous wakefulness is the physiological equivalent
Speaker 2: of being legally impaired by alcohol, and twenty four hours
Speaker 2: is the equivalent of legal intoxication. Okay, but they're gonna work.
Speaker 2: They're gonna work. They're goun works.
Speaker 1: Yeah, unfortunately their gun works in some cases. Because there's
Speaker 1: more than two hundred k's of air marshals misusing firearms
Speaker 1: or misbehaving with guns between two thousand and five and
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, including more than seventy incidents of loss, misplaced
Speaker 1: or stolen weapons and one time an air marshal left
Speaker 1: his gun in the airplane bathroom at least one.
Speaker 2: Time something like yeah, you come, I like, I think
Speaker 2: someone left in the handgun toilet and also misbehaving what
Speaker 2: is this righteous gemstones like because you like to do
Speaker 2: a little like gun twirling exactly like what what counts
Speaker 2: as misbehaving? It gets hey, he gets the guy in
Speaker 2: the plane lifting his shirt up. Look, look, don't fuck
Speaker 2: with me. Don't fuck with me.
Speaker 1: You better stop fucking crying. Yeah, okay, you are annoying
Speaker 1: everyone around you.
Speaker 2: You can't get touched, just so you know, because I
Speaker 2: will wet your whole ship right now. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: you're misbehaving.
Speaker 1: Uh so, yeah, these are the people that we need
Speaker 1: to be uh worried about flying because they're not on
Speaker 1: the case. According to Fox News, this made me feel
Speaker 1: a lot safer about flying when uh they're down doing
Speaker 1: some like much needed like soul refreshing work. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: giving people. Yeah please, it's like no, they're giving, they're
Speaker 1: saving people's lives and helping people who are in need.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, just like clear like an interest group meant
Speaker 2: to represent that that occupation and then just you know,
Speaker 2: regurgitate xenophobic nonsense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: Let you rest, hopefully rest. I know it's busy out there.
Speaker 2: I saw footage from the fucking airports on when the
Speaker 2: Wednesday for things giving. It looks a fucking nightmare.
Speaker 1: Good luck out there. Stay safe if you're listening to
Speaker 1: us from from a flight, and thanks for bringing us
Speaker 1: with you on this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, stay frosty though they might have a drunk air
Speaker 2: marshal on board that you need.
Speaker 1: Your head on a swivel out there. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 2: We're back and squid Game the reality showing viewing for
Speaker 2: Krizana smiles.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was always curious, like who's producing
Speaker 1: this thing? It seems like it's kind of missing the
Speaker 1: point of the show, which was mainly, I would say,
Speaker 1: like a capitalist critique where every single character was put
Speaker 1: up against a wall by the you know, strictures of
Speaker 1: capital and and then forced to like put their lives
Speaker 1: on the line and almost die or die in all
Speaker 1: cases for the entertainment of like billionaires. So it seemed
Speaker 1: like a pretty straightforward message. And this one, they're like,
Speaker 1: wouldn't you like to be those rich billionaires who get
Speaker 1: to watch people die and struggle for your entertainment.
Speaker 2: And you can masturbate with a mask on all happening?
Speaker 1: You can't, I mean that is always an option that's
Speaker 1: available to you. Uh yeah, but anyways, the yes, thank you.
Speaker 1: So the producers gave an interview to the Hollywood Reporter
Speaker 1: with the dropping of Squid Game, and they were asked
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 2: Oh, like, how do you navigate like the anti capitalist
Speaker 2: message of the show, like, or how do you integrate it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they while they acknowledged that is one strand
Speaker 1: of Squid Game, they also added that the capitalist critique
Speaker 1: was really a very small part of the original Squid Game.
Speaker 2: You're fucking kidding?
Speaker 1: I yes, yes, there is one element of the original
Speaker 1: show that people have latched on to. That people have
Speaker 1: latched onto onto that like you know, you critics latch
Speaker 1: onto and keep like talking up that they think it's
Speaker 1: being not served by a reality show. But I would
Speaker 1: say it's a very small part of the original squid game.
Speaker 2: That's actually a quote Jack just read. Yeah, that is
Speaker 2: a legitimate quote for the producer of the.
Speaker 1: So I was like, who, so are these like the
Speaker 1: original producers of the show. Also like, how how did
Speaker 1: that work? How did they get the right The producer's
Speaker 1: name is Tim Harcourt, all right, And I have a
Speaker 1: picture of him in the dock here, and he is
Speaker 1: white as white as the name Tim Harcourt would suggest.
Speaker 2: And his like T shirt with blazer tea. Sorry sorry sorry, yeah,
Speaker 2: but what he did is he like a like a
Speaker 2: Korean media is like, is he involved in Korean media?
Speaker 1: No, he's just like a reality show. He made a
Speaker 1: naked attraction, the all nude dating show.
Speaker 2: Oh perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect perfect.
Speaker 1: So he's kind of who I go to for my
Speaker 1: understanding of like what various works of art are saying culturally,
Speaker 1: and like which of the messages are important and which
Speaker 1: can just be discarded for the purposes of entertain There's
Speaker 1: also the allegations about the filming conditions of the show.
Speaker 1: We talked before about how the Red Light Green Light
Speaker 1: Game was reportedly shot in a freezing airport hangar that
Speaker 1: led to some people having to be treated by medics
Speaker 1: due to the extreme cold.
Speaker 2: Don't say like hypothermia, that's gonna give it a bad
Speaker 2: it's just call it. It's really it was just really chilly
Speaker 2: in there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. One of the players on the show was quoted
Speaker 1: as saying all the torment and trauma we experienced wasn't
Speaker 1: due to the game or the rigor of the game.
Speaker 1: It was the incompetencies of scale. More than they could chew.
Speaker 2: The incompetencies of scale.
Speaker 1: That to be the name of a fucking book.
Speaker 2: Yeah, d I'm read competencies of scale. Wow scathing. And
Speaker 2: then so the produces like that guy's just a hater
Speaker 2: because he got hit by paintballs in the Red Light
Speaker 2: Green Ball Green Light Game.
Speaker 1: Yes, uh, basically so that we heard from another one
Speaker 1: of the producers, Steven Lambert, who let me guess you
Speaker 1: can picture him. He's the other guy except balder.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he looks like he's like he's like an eagle's uncle.
Speaker 2: What if that makes sense, Like as a human, then
Speaker 2: I don't know, he has he's very avian.
Speaker 1: But that producer pointed out that because of the huge
Speaker 1: cash prize, it wasn't going to be a walk in
Speaker 1: the park. It's like, yeah, we're gonna try and freeze
Speaker 1: you to death. There's a lot of money online. Okay,
Speaker 1: but yeah, as as was pointed out by one of
Speaker 1: the contestants, we were not getting vibes that this was
Speaker 1: an intentional attempt to freeze us to death. It was
Speaker 1: that they are fucking reality show producers who are just like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, we got to stretch his money.
Speaker 1: Let's put it in this giant freezing warehouse and not
Speaker 1: heat it. So yeah, just due to the colossal incompetence
Speaker 1: of the of the production.
Speaker 2: Man. It's also just really interesting too that there's like
Speaker 2: even like this like darker social media thing like that.
Speaker 2: Apparently people were saying they were allegations that like influencers
Speaker 2: from like TikTok or Instagram were like like it was
Speaker 2: rigged to favor them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that they rigged it for so yeah, they gave
Speaker 1: they gave every contestant like mics, right, and you know,
Speaker 1: because it's reality show, there's like around their testing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then as people were getting eliminated, they were like
Speaker 1: never felt like they turned my mic on or that
Speaker 1: my mic even like had wiring in it, but like
Speaker 1: the people who lasted in the game did have actual mics,
Speaker 1: so it felt like, Okay, they went into this and weirdly,
Speaker 1: all the people who had large social media followings were
Speaker 1: the ones who lasted, and everybody.
Speaker 2: Else they're they're just it's there. It's a parody of itself,
Speaker 2: you know, like in the way that they're like favoring
Speaker 2: people who could potentially offer more of a benefit financially
Speaker 2: to this show, the ones that make it so grim.
Speaker 1: Well, this is why, like you can't really do this
Speaker 1: show unless you're going to have the courage of your
Speaker 1: convictions and kill the contexts exactly because otherwise the contestants
Speaker 1: are going to see like the sleight of hand and
Speaker 1: all the like kind of bullshit that you're putting into it.
Speaker 2: You can complain if you're fucking six feet you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. So it's an old reality TV adage,
Speaker 2: I think that they say. But yeah, I mean it
Speaker 2: makes sense because like, for like reality television, as someone
Speaker 2: who has watched a mind blowing amount and as like
Speaker 2: I worked in and around production of reality shows, it's
Speaker 2: it's truly like people playing with an ant farm, and
Speaker 2: except you have people in there, and what else can
Speaker 2: due to fucking make some weird shit happen on camera
Speaker 2: without any consideration for their personal lives or who they are.
Speaker 2: But and here we are. So it's just wild, see it.
Speaker 2: It sounds so bad that I got I love a disaster.
Speaker 2: The incompetency of scale.
Speaker 1: It's uh it squid Game, the reality show in the
Speaker 1: incompetencies of scale. It's also just wild. Like the more
Speaker 1: we learn about like Netflix and you know how uh
Speaker 1: like one of their greatest works of art, like one
Speaker 1: of the greatest works of art that they were responsible
Speaker 1: for is squig Game like that. I you know, I
Speaker 1: don't think that's controversial, right, Like that show was fucking awesome, Like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was so it was such a yeah,
Speaker 2: I think especially because it had this despite it being
Speaker 2: like a you know, from the English speaking world, a
Speaker 2: foreign show, it just hit the fucking nail directly on
Speaker 2: its head for.
Speaker 1: Whatever brilliant trash like beautiful garbage, like really well done,
Speaker 1: and then like reached some really high highs that like
Speaker 1: you wouldn't expect from a show that like is about.
Speaker 1: It is basically you know, the plot to The Running Man,
Speaker 1: you know, just deadly game show, beautifully done, you know,
Speaker 1: and also like their biggest hit of all time. I
Speaker 1: think just like massive, massive hit Cut came out of
Speaker 1: nowhere for them, and the way they respond to that
Speaker 1: is like continue to underpay the people who actually like
Speaker 1: made it and then like skin it and turn it
Speaker 1: over to a fucking reality show producer.
Speaker 2: Good just the I mean, I say that, and I
Speaker 2: just need to see how, because man, it sounds that
Speaker 2: everyone's like panning it.
Speaker 1: It's getting bad reviews.
Speaker 2: I feel like if you just search it, most people.
Speaker 1: Are like, I don't know, deals gross man, right right, right, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: damn you hate to see it? You really hate to
Speaker 1: see it. Well, Miles, you'll check it out and let
Speaker 1: us know how how it holds up. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but if you just come back, you're like, guys, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: it's brilliant.
Speaker 2: It's fucking amazing, The Verge said squid Game, the challenge
Speaker 2: is a morbid larp trapped inside a reality TV show
Speaker 2: Whoops wee boy boy boy boye boye boye Yeah, Rolling
Speaker 2: Stone Netflix Good Game. Reality show was cruel and Rigged
Speaker 2: squid Game the Challenge Player two nine to nine. Spencer talks, so, yeah,
Speaker 2: a lot of people are a lot of people got
Speaker 2: something to say.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like Entertainment Weekly, which described it as having an
Speaker 1: eclectic cast and inventive updates to the original inventive updates to.
Speaker 2: Are They like the Entertainment Weekly is like what the
Speaker 2: local news is like to the police department or something exactly, like, oh,
Speaker 2: we love it obviously, it's so good, and shout out
Speaker 2: to them. Please continue to invite us to your press
Speaker 2: junkets so we may have access to sell or clicks
Speaker 2: or whatever.
Speaker 1: Man, they really just skinned the whole show though, Like
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the trailer and it is exactly the ship.
Speaker 2: Wow, I mean it's and it's also but like get
Speaker 2: you know, you have to hand it to like these
Speaker 2: big studios, massive media companies where they like they just go, oh,
Speaker 2: that thing's popular and completely miss the fucking point about
Speaker 2: why it's popular. Yeah, they're like, yep show big, so
Speaker 2: putting the same name even on a cartoon for babies,
Speaker 2: and they're gonna love it, right because the show was
Speaker 2: so big. Wait what was it about capital, Well, that's
Speaker 2: just like your opinion man, Yeah, exactly.
