Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie. I was way more nervous than
Speaker 2: I should have been to talk about a subject. I
Speaker 2: know pretty a lot about podcasting, but you know what,
Speaker 2: sometimes it gets you. It gets you.
Speaker 3: That was good, man, That that conversation was good. I
Speaker 3: would a soft note. I thought it was really interesting
Speaker 3: that you came in with like the dry ice smoke
Speaker 3: and like, I don't know how you worked out the parachute,
Speaker 3: but dude, Miles dropped in from a parachute and it
Speaker 3: was just like, first off.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we came out, remember and I landed in a split. Yeah,
Speaker 2: just came off the top row parachute. Boom hit the
Speaker 2: split and I was like, give me my mic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, across the stage in the split like a Spike
Speaker 1: Lee tracking shot with exactly exactly, Yeah, elaborate special man
Speaker 1: Miles does demand that for any panel that he's going
Speaker 1: to be on.
Speaker 2: Yes, which is why I know, Ben, when you said
Speaker 2: that they weren't going to actually, you know, accommodate me.
Speaker 2: I know I freaked out and I said full fuck
Speaker 2: all of you then, but then I didn't make it
Speaker 2: work in my own low five way. So look, it
Speaker 2: involved roller skate.
Speaker 1: I mean we can say it was roller skates. This
Speaker 1: is how you pulled it off.
Speaker 2: Okay, look what the fuck, man, this isn't fucking revealing
Speaker 2: the magician's secret on Fox.
Speaker 3: Dude, Yeah, we can neither confirm nor deny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: I don't look Magician.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't look at the video that someone took because
Speaker 2: it's very clear. I'm on rollerblades.
Speaker 3: But I remember that. I remember that show you just
Speaker 3: mentioned though.
Speaker 2: Yeah whatever, Yeah, what was it The Secrets Magic Secrets
Speaker 2: on Reveal or whatever? Yeah, and I remember that guy
Speaker 2: like what was his name, like mystique or intrigue.
Speaker 1: He got like fucking mystery. That is the guy who
Speaker 1: taught me how to talk to women.
Speaker 2: Breaking the Magician's code, Magic's Biggest Secrets revealed, Finally revealed,
Speaker 2: is what it was called. I'm not trying to watch
Speaker 2: a replay on Fox, but yeah, that mask was kind
Speaker 2: of freaky.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was like why he didn't need to make
Speaker 1: it so scary, you know, but I guess maybe maybe
Speaker 1: that's like what he's about.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, his name was val Valentino. Or He's still
Speaker 2: He's still here, He's still here.
Speaker 1: Oh he revealed he was outed.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, wow, Magic Castle's coming for him, you guys.
Speaker 1: I know, oh yeah, oh wow.
Speaker 2: In the finale, in the final special, he unmasked.
Speaker 6: So it is I val valal val Yeah, that's I know,
Speaker 6: I know, try trying to hold back your shock. It
Speaker 6: is I okay, I'm sorry, my legal name Leonard Montano. No,
Speaker 6: still don't know you man, all right, well.
Speaker 1: I'm embarrassed anyway, Ben, We're gonna get to know you
Speaker 1: a little bit better in the moment. First, we're gonna
Speaker 1: tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about.
Speaker 1: We're gonna check in with third party candidates, specifically the
Speaker 1: No Labels Party, the fuck Boy Party of the Center.
Speaker 1: Why don't we have to put a label on it.
Speaker 1: Let's just enjoy each other's company by.
Speaker 3: A political situation too exactly.
Speaker 1: We're talking Yeah, so I think they're dropping out.
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about that.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about the coming corny zombie cicada
Speaker 1: storm that is going to take over entire swaths of
Speaker 1: the US. We'll talk about Disney just can't stop building Dystopius.
Speaker 1: They got a new one, and we might even get
Speaker 1: to the summer Olympics are holding swimming events in not
Speaker 1: a pool, but in the Send River, the big dirty
Speaker 1: river that runs through the middle of Paris that I
Speaker 1: think was responsible for multiple outbreaks of cholera that like
Speaker 1: wiped out entire family lines. That that is where they're
Speaker 1: going to be doing their distance swimming in the coming Olympics,
Speaker 1: which is interesting the brave of the organizers, well, guessing
Speaker 1: it was their decision and not the distance swimmers.
Speaker 2: No, no, I want a mouthful of I want to
Speaker 2: show you how fucking built I am for this ship.
Speaker 1: When I first saw this story, I literally thought like
Speaker 1: it was going to be all the swimming events like
Speaker 1: Michael like people like that were just gonna be swimming by.
Speaker 3: The river.
Speaker 1: And I was like, Wow, that's that's different. We would
Speaker 1: all watch that, we would exactly all right. But before
Speaker 1: we get to any of that bullshit, Ben, we do
Speaker 1: like to ask our guests, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history?
Speaker 3: Oh? Man, So I was scanning through some of this stuff, uh,
Speaker 3: and I was I was looking at Uh. I got
Speaker 3: really into not what they call non human personhood, Like,
Speaker 3: are our certain non human animals intelligent to the threshold
Speaker 3: that they should be able to have, uh, the same
Speaker 3: rights that theoretically every human has. And I got super
Speaker 3: deep into octopus. Uh, Like the octopus I think is
Speaker 3: the correct plural. Uh, It's it's not OCTOPI I think, Well,
Speaker 3: it's American English, so we can just kind of freestyle
Speaker 3: on that one. But I'm pretty sure the plural is octopuses.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh no, I know, it says, yeah, both octopuses
Speaker 2: and octopi are acceptable. Of the two octopuses, is the
Speaker 2: simpler and more commonly used.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, it turns out the octopus can dream,
Speaker 3: you guys, and because they have the they have those
Speaker 3: things on their skin chromatophores that like change color, predator
Speaker 3: camo thing when they dream, those chromatophors in their skin,
Speaker 3: show like what they're dreaming about the way, yes, dude, yes, yes,
Speaker 3: wait ted.
Speaker 2: Like a like a Jumbo tron on their skin to
Speaker 2: be like, this is what's going on in my mind
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 3: Nowhere near that cool?
Speaker 2: But well back way, fuck it sounds boring. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: what do you think is underrated? Man? Let's get off.
Speaker 3: No, I think though, I think it is. It is fascinating, man,
Speaker 3: Like it would be cool if it were jumbo tron, right,
Speaker 3: like if the octopus was dreaming.
Speaker 1: There's show.
Speaker 2: The octopus is at a black Hawks game and it's like.
Speaker 3: It wakes up and it's like ship, I'm in the ocean. Yes,
Speaker 3: I thought that's I thought that was cool. I also
Speaker 3: looked into there was some weird research several years ago.
Speaker 3: A couple of decades ago about trying to make the
Speaker 3: octopus live longer, because you know, they have a relatively
Speaker 3: short life span and they It turns out that you
Speaker 3: could do like an octopus lobotomy, which already, like the
Speaker 3: concept is really weird to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, check
Speaker 3: it out. So apparently you can't and it only works
Speaker 3: with the female octopus. You can rum move part of
Speaker 3: the I guess the main bringing. Since all eight arms
Speaker 3: kind of have a brain, you can remove that and
Speaker 3: it takes away the kill switch such that the octopus
Speaker 3: can survive reproduce anyway. Man, my search history is weird.
Speaker 1: Hey, man, what the fuck are you talking about? Real quick,
Speaker 1: you remove their brain and they live longer because the
Speaker 1: brain is the thing that kills them. It's like time
Speaker 1: to off yourself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you take.
Speaker 1: Exactly, Well some imagination this kid has here, because that
Speaker 1: can't be true. Now that's wild.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: What the fuck you ever seen cuttlefish mate where they
Speaker 1: like entwine their arms and then like get their like
Speaker 1: bodily patterns sync up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta also stop texting me those videos, man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, half of those aren't cuttle fish. Cuttle fish are
Speaker 2: you making? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is the is the subject that I said.
Speaker 2: Anyways, but like anyways but more like cuddle fish. And
Speaker 2: then we're like, yeah, I know, yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm still working. I'm still working on a workshop. And the
Speaker 1: exact wording that I should send when I send those
Speaker 1: videos to people, isn't it beautiful.
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna be honest, I think it would be
Speaker 3: amazing if the octopus was able to live, you know,
Speaker 3: to like a like a human lifespan or an elephant
Speaker 3: lifespan or something like that, because they're they're so smart.
Speaker 2: Man, Yeah, I know. That's that's been like the most
Speaker 2: interesting thing about realizing how intelligent they are is like
Speaker 2: how I think for people like who are used to
Speaker 2: eating octopuses, like in Asia or abroad or whatever, like
Speaker 2: octopus is like a delicacy. Like the more I see
Speaker 2: those like things where it's like no, man, like they
Speaker 2: build friendships, Like I saw this video of like how
Speaker 2: this octopus was like befriending the like tank cleaner at
Speaker 2: an aquarium and like always wanted to play with the
Speaker 2: tank cleaner and very intense in a way, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I'm about to eat one of your
Speaker 2: fucking arms.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: Stop I gotta stop beating your fucking arms. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. I just said you know you you
Speaker 2: knew you felt so much. I'm like, you fuck with
Speaker 2: drumming bass, because if they fuck with drumming bass, then
Speaker 2: it'd be over. I'm like, y, man, we can't they
Speaker 2: fuck with yeah, you know Chase the Status. Yeah, they
Speaker 2: have taste to the music. We gotta let them.
Speaker 3: Let them DJ's metaphorically.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, did this interest come from my octopus teacher?
Speaker 1: I really you've always been interested.
Speaker 3: I'm I watched octopus teacher. That is. That's pretty great, man. Honestly,
Speaker 3: I think it. I think it came about because I'm
Speaker 3: one of those folks with big dreams and stupid means.
Speaker 3: So I was like, I was like, man, it'd be
Speaker 3: so cool to have an aquarium in my house, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean? Yeah? Yeah, until I learned how
Speaker 3: much work it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah you got cribs apish.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I'm not ready for that yet. I'm going
Speaker 3: to get there one day.
Speaker 1: Peel. You never see really rich people with octopus aquariums.
Speaker 1: They always have like sharks or something like that.
Speaker 2: That's yeah. They need things that like mirror their mindset,
Speaker 2: Like you know what I mean. They don't want some
Speaker 2: soft ass thinking ass.
Speaker 1: Eight motherfucker making them question their personhood. Yeah, what is
Speaker 1: something you think is underrated?
Speaker 2: Then?
Speaker 3: Uh? To be honest, you know, there's one thing I
Speaker 3: got really into audio books when I was driving around
Speaker 3: for some stuff and I was like, man, you know here,
Speaker 3: what you guys told me, is hearing an audiobook the
Speaker 3: same thing as reading a book? I respect them both.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't care.
Speaker 2: I'm not like I remember when audio like maybe right
Speaker 2: after college and I was really into like like book,
Speaker 2: you know, just having like my book collection that I
Speaker 2: was really like, there's no evidence of it. Like I
Speaker 2: felt like even like with Kindle, Like I'm like, is
Speaker 2: there any evidence of the book that you had it?
Speaker 2: At one point? Then you don't know the information that
Speaker 2: you observe, Like what kind of rigid ass thinking is this?
Speaker 2: And now I'm like, no, you're engaging with the information.
Speaker 2: Plus my comprehension is actually better when I'm listening to
Speaker 2: an audiobook like that. Sometimes I space out and I'm like,
Speaker 2: no joke, Like I can spend like fucking six minutes
Speaker 2: on one page because I'm like, fuck, that's something in
Speaker 2: the middle of this same fucking sentence again.
Speaker 3: They hit me with a semi cold what the fuck
Speaker 3: is going on? Yeah? No, I was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean as long as you're like, if you're
Speaker 1: making your way through an audio book, like you're not
Speaker 1: doing it absolutely for no reason, like you're obviously engaging
Speaker 1: with the material, it's like connecting with you, you're taking
Speaker 1: something in. So I don't. Yeah, I've definitely like talked
Speaker 1: to people who are like, yeah, I only get like
Speaker 1: twenty percent of audiobooks, and those people don't read audio books,
Speaker 1: you know, they just move on, move back to the
Speaker 1: thing that works for them. For some of us, like
Speaker 1: I definitely have better comprehension when I'm listening to audiobooks.
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, it's like, uh, it's you know, I
Speaker 3: I like that point, you know, it's it's whatever works
Speaker 3: for you too, As you said, like ingest information. And yeah,
Speaker 3: I will note though, I will note that I put
Speaker 3: down the Kindle. I I was a physical book guy.
Speaker 3: Still am I got too many? I'm some cause.
Speaker 2: Gesture you're literally gestured to a blank room right now,
Speaker 2: you're like, there's nothing like okay, man, as you can see.
Speaker 3: See big. Yeah, but I had. I had a kindle
Speaker 3: as a gift for a while, and I I felt,
Speaker 3: this is such a shallow thing, you guys. But I
Speaker 3: was like reading on a kindle and there were other
Speaker 3: people around who have books, and I was like, man,
Speaker 3: oh you felt these guys. Yeah, I was like, these
Speaker 3: folks better know I'm reading a book.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why you got to read out loud anytime
Speaker 1: you're reading in public. That's what I right, Yeah, let
Speaker 1: him know.
Speaker 2: Her last was too much to contain. At this point, the.
Speaker 1: Bottle fis inserted his sperm packets into her mouth.
Speaker 3: And then just like turn to a stranger and go, that's.
Speaker 1: Right, as if I had to tell you freaky little and.
Speaker 2: Then obnoxiously lick your fingers to turn the baby.
Speaker 3: Yeah on your kindle, squeak, squeak. By the way, we
Speaker 3: should like that.
Speaker 1: There was a weird moment at the top of your
Speaker 1: Underrated where you were like driving around on some stuff.
Speaker 1: That Ben is a trained assassin, Like he doesn't like
Speaker 1: to talk about it, but he's you know, he goes
Speaker 1: out on jobs, so to speak, and you know he
Speaker 1: got a lot of driving to do. Should I read back?
Speaker 1: Should I read some of our cryptic text back.
Speaker 3: Then, I would prefer that we avoid that.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is a real thing, or I'm trying to
Speaker 2: get to the bottom of Ben Bowling and I fucking can't.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, well let's say it here publicly. Guys.
Speaker 3: Uber does a lot of stuff, and we are contractually
Speaker 3: obligated to tell you that. You know, you get on the.
Speaker 2: Road, sometimes we've got Yeah, we've got another service. If
Speaker 2: you want someone fucking.
Speaker 1: Clipped, that's right, Uber Erase you get people out of
Speaker 1: the crows. Aren't the only murder that Ben Bowleen is
Speaker 1: very familiar with. I'll just say that, what is something,
Speaker 1: Ben that you think is overrated?
Speaker 3: Okay? You know, I historically have a tough time with
Speaker 3: overrated because I don't want to be rude to anybody,
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna say it. So many dietary supplements are
Speaker 3: absolute bullshit. It is sane. It is insane that we
Speaker 3: did an episode on this for stuff they want you
Speaker 3: to know recently. I can't remember when it comes out,
Speaker 3: but spoilers, folks. The FDA in particular is asleep at
Speaker 3: the wheel totally.
Speaker 1: No, you're getting cafeine and sawdust. That is what you're getting.
Speaker 1: Whatever what was that when?
Speaker 4: What was that one story we were talking about where
Speaker 4: it's like it may include up to this, like it
Speaker 4: was just so all over the place, like formulations or
Speaker 4: it's like, I it could literally be anything, could be
Speaker 4: anything that we're taking vitamin wise, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Wasn't it chewable vitamins or something like oh yeah, yeah vitamins.
Speaker 1: Gummy vitamins are like their gummy candy a second of
Speaker 1: all their gummy bears sprayed with like vitamins, and it
Speaker 1: can be but it's also true for edibles, Like some
Speaker 1: edibles don't have that specific of doses and so you
Speaker 1: have to be really careful. But the same goes for vitamins.
Speaker 1: They basically take some gummy candy and spray it with
Speaker 1: vitamin whatever the vitamins say they are, and like sometimes
Speaker 1: it gets a lot on there and sometimes not so much,
Speaker 1: and they're good ship.
Speaker 2: This one was Oh man, it's got like three of
Speaker 2: them on What it's like when you get that one
Speaker 2: dorrito that has all the yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a great way to think about it. Dorito's,
Speaker 1: you know, dorito's are mostly like uniform, but sometimes you
Speaker 1: get the one that's just opaque with dust and sometimes
Speaker 1: they're pretty light. Yeah, you get a little naked naked
Speaker 1: nacho cheese doriedo.
Speaker 3: Did you hear, guys? I haven't confirmed this, but I heard.
Speaker 3: I swear. I read somewhere from the Dorrito folks that
Speaker 3: they don't need the dust for the flavoring, and that
Speaker 3: it's like a psychological thing, like it's just part of
Speaker 3: the Dorrito experience to have the powder.
Speaker 1: I've like, I've licked the powder off my fingers, and
Speaker 1: my fingers taste like Dorito's and taste too much like Dorito's,
Speaker 1: and I bite my fingers.
Speaker 2: It feels like a corn a blank corn chip. It's
Speaker 2: not like the flavor is like enmeshed within the corn chip, right.
Speaker 2: I feel like that's like harder to manufacture than than
Speaker 2: printing off a bunch of blank corn chips and then,
Speaker 2: depending on your flavor, dust them accordingly.
Speaker 3: Oh looks like, uh, yeah, it looks like I I
Speaker 3: appreciate check. Yeah, I'm wrong. It turns out it was
Speaker 3: a hoax. I fell for it if it was a
Speaker 3: Waffles at noon dot com. It turns out that.
Speaker 1: And that is where you get most of your information
Speaker 1: from from number one source.
Speaker 3: No, no, we gotta take down the Dorito's at man.
Speaker 1: We gotta take it down. Yeah, hey god, it sounds
Speaker 1: like that, like a contract dispute between Gurdo's and whoever
Speaker 1: their dust supplier is, and they're like, we don't need them.
Speaker 1: We actually don't need them. People like the core corn
Speaker 1: chip just as much as like different flavors.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, depending on the severity of your brain injury, it
Speaker 2: could taste like anything. I just like how both Jack
Speaker 2: and I were so fucking passionate. That's that's immediately you
Speaker 2: were not even I was like, no, fuck you Ben the.
Speaker 3: Dust You're like, how do that ship? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I love watching like how how does she
Speaker 2: get made? Type videos? And I love seeing like like
Speaker 2: whether it's like lunch meat or other ship, I'm like,
Speaker 2: oh gosh.
Speaker 3: Lunch beat mad.
Speaker 1: I've always suspected lunch meat is like a slurry that
Speaker 1: like gets.
Speaker 2: It is very processed. That's where they say, like eating
Speaker 2: a lot of processed lunch meat is very detrimentals can
Speaker 2: be very detrimental to your health.
Speaker 3: But what if we could just spray vitamins lunch.
Speaker 1: Meat, thank you? Counterpoint be in business. Actually, it would
Speaker 1: all end up in like the little puddle at the
Speaker 1: bottom of the lunch beat. Oh yeah, I love how
Speaker 1: wet my lunch meat is. I like to eat things
Speaker 1: that are like me, you know, sweaty.
Speaker 3: All right, it's a weird tagline, man, Let's see how
Speaker 3: it goes.
Speaker 1: I like to eat things that like white and sweaty,
Speaker 1: pale and sweaty, like slice.
Speaker 3: Turkey, dietary supplements for bullshit.
Speaker 1: Yes, oh right, right, yeah, right, right, all right, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 2: And we're back.
Speaker 1: And no labels, man, why do we have to put
Speaker 1: a label on a baby?
Speaker 2: It's why, man, you.
Speaker 3: Know, America stopped asking what Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: But the No Labels Party, which I don't even remember,
Speaker 1: like what, they're just like hyper centrist, is that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like Joe Lieberman's like pet project. And
Speaker 2: that's when you're like, oh, right, your anger at the
Speaker 2: Democratic Party being.
Speaker 1: Right of the Demo, right of mainstream Democrats.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess to the left of the you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like they're truly trying to be like again,
Speaker 2: it was mostly going to serve as a spoiler candidate
Speaker 2: for Democrats rather than like siphoning off Republican votes. That's
Speaker 2: why when they first came out, everyone's like, where what
Speaker 2: is going on? What is this? But they just announced
Speaker 2: they're ending their campaign to meddle in the elections show?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah? And was it? Was it because the establishment destroyed them?
Speaker 2: Or was it because no one gave a fuck about
Speaker 2: them and no one wanted anything to do with them?
Speaker 2: It was the latter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like the establishment would fuck with them heavy, right,
Speaker 1: Like that's if you hold like most people on Wall
Speaker 1: Street like that, this is what they're looking for, like
Speaker 1: Pardy and C the d n C being like they
Speaker 1: knew we were a threat, so they did everything they could.
Speaker 1: It's just more like, Noah, you guys didn't have your
Speaker 1: shit together.
Speaker 3: How old is New Labels.
Speaker 2: It's like they probably announced about it last year around
Speaker 2: the maybe a year and a half ago, and everyone
Speaker 2: was like, what the fuck is the purpose of this?
Speaker 2: Because they're like, no one wants no one wants Biden,
Speaker 2: no one wants Trump, so let's do something. Let's really
Speaker 2: hit the middle here and see if we can get
Speaker 2: something going. And their national director said quote, No Labels
Speaker 2: was looking for a hero, and a hero never emerged.
Speaker 2: They said, we've been very straightforward and upfront and honest
Speaker 2: with the American public that we were going to feel
Speaker 2: this ticket if two conditions were met. Number one, if
Speaker 2: Americans wanted another option, which is definitely which that box
Speaker 2: is definitely checked. Number two, if we're able to find
Speaker 2: candidates that we believe have a pathway to victory. And
Speaker 2: that's where we ran into the.
Speaker 3: Trouble at the end of the day.
Speaker 2: We weren't able to find candidates we felt had a
Speaker 2: straightforward path to victory.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it wasn't that because I feel like if
Speaker 1: that first box was and I want to quote them directly,
Speaker 1: which has definitely come up, box is checked. If that
Speaker 1: were true, I do feel like maybe you would have
Speaker 1: had a little bit more success finding a candidate who
Speaker 1: wanted to throw their hat in the ring with you.
Speaker 1: If people were clambering for a Jeb Bushian like right
Speaker 1: wing establishment candidate, I feel like a lot of people
Speaker 1: would have been like, hell, yeah, man, like that's I
Speaker 1: could become friends with so many billionaires by being the
Speaker 1: face of this party. And instead it was such a
Speaker 1: non starter. There is so little political will at like
Speaker 1: behind this idea that they were just like fuck, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just the thing that the Republican Party want, like
Speaker 1: the powers of being the Republican Party, want the Republican
Speaker 1: Party to be the powers of being the Democratic Party,
Speaker 1: want the Democratic Party to be. It's just there's absolutely
Speaker 1: no political will for it right now.
Speaker 2: No. And also when you look, we got to go
Speaker 2: over some of the people that they were courting to
Speaker 2: try to find their fucking hero.
Speaker 3: I mean we need a here.
Speaker 2: Oh and who did you go after? Nikki Hayley, She's like, Nah,
Speaker 2: of course, Larry Hogan, the former Maryland governor who's now
Speaker 2: running for US Senate. Nah, Chris Christie.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 2: And guess who we were just talking about him, our
Speaker 2: boy Dwayne the Rock Johnson. How far they went to be? Like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, fucking man the Rock.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: Fuck.
Speaker 3: I picture some like old Monty Burns style guys steepling
Speaker 3: his fingers again. Yeah, you know, like you know, Ronald
Speaker 3: Reagan worked out, well, what's about wrestler.
Speaker 2: Right the Rock? Yes? Excellent?
Speaker 1: Have you seen him in his glasses?
Speaker 2: Right? Very presidential? Or he looks like Henry Rollins in
Speaker 2: that one that one music video where he dressed like
Speaker 2: Clark Kent. Do you remember that? Yeah? Like that was
Speaker 2: kind of the vibe. It's like, I don't know, dude,
Speaker 2: I kinda don't. I'm kind of scared of this dude
Speaker 2: in the rip RiPP dude and glasses doesn't look very welcoming.
Speaker 2: But yeah, they they they really just think fell apart.
Speaker 2: And then I didn't even realize Joe Lieberman passed away
Speaker 2: last week, but he did, and that's when things just
Speaker 2: fell apart. But the national director of No Labels did
Speaker 2: say he's like, well, well, yeah, there's no question now
Speaker 2: I'm supporting Biden. But that's that's where they ended up.
Speaker 2: But RFK still.
Speaker 1: RFK still in there, still a choice for those of
Speaker 1: us who get it okay lying to us, right, Ben, Ben,
Speaker 1: you get it right?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 3: Stop pointing out you guys.
Speaker 2: Remember that episode that you played for me. I know
Speaker 2: that you said iHeart was too scared to air about
Speaker 2: how they were putting brain chips with the five G
Speaker 2: and that's how Bill Gates was going to access our money, right.
Speaker 1: Or how earlier you were saying that the thing that's
Speaker 1: actually in supplement is fluoride because they're trying to control
Speaker 1: our minds. And then we had to have super producer
Speaker 1: justin cut it out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, thank you for that.
Speaker 2: On air again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, fluoride and adrenochrome, yes, thank you.
Speaker 1: Wow, they're just giving the adrinachrome away now, Huh. I
Speaker 1: thought that. I thought Hillary was squirreling that all away
Speaker 1: for herself.
Speaker 3: Wait. It took me so long, though, you guys to
Speaker 3: realize that this RFK character is seriously trying to be
Speaker 3: a politician. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's uh.
Speaker 3: He's the real deal.
Speaker 1: It takes a while to get it, but yeah, he's.
Speaker 2: My main article. Yeah, but yeah, his his like New York.
Speaker 2: One of his campaign directors in New York is basically
Speaker 2: saying now like publicly that their whole outward strategy is
Speaker 2: be like, we don't want Biden. Man, we don't want Biden.
Speaker 2: So we got like talking to Republicans, like, we got
Speaker 2: to figure out what we're going to do. So it's
Speaker 2: not going to be Biden. So it I mean, based
Speaker 2: on those comments, people are being like, so maybe and
Speaker 2: because this national director is like, hey, if nobody gets
Speaker 2: to two hundred and seventy electoral votes, guess who decides
Speaker 2: the House of Representatives, where I'm sure they would lovingly
Speaker 2: choose mister Trump. So wow, mmmm, that's crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody thinks RFK is going to win
Speaker 1: a single electoral vote, but he could fuck things up obviously.
Speaker 1: That yeah, man, anything Mark, that's.
Speaker 3: The idea, right, that's like the strategy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, unless like RFK is like in debt and he's like,
Speaker 2: hey man, y'all could pay me off, man, y'all could
Speaker 2: pay me off? Yeah, pay me please?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 2: You huh fuck, I gotta run. I don't know. I
Speaker 2: don't know. I mean, like we'll see what is what
Speaker 2: is going on? Because I mean he's still not on
Speaker 2: every single like state ballot that he would need to
Speaker 2: be to mount an actual campaign.
Speaker 3: So I mean, but that's that's the thing, right, like
Speaker 3: the the third Party. Uh we said the phrase non
Speaker 3: starter before, but isn't it like by design like what
Speaker 3: happened to the Green Party? You know, every so often
Speaker 3: there's like a billionaire who says, oh, I'm independent, Like well,
Speaker 3: Steve Forbes went on Saturday Night Live and tried to
Speaker 3: be cool.
Speaker 1: Has such a great track record of Republican politicians coming on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Marjorie Taylor Green episode, Let's let's see, let's go before.
Speaker 2: She just could you imagine that people want they're like, dude,
Speaker 2: she's got comedy chops man deadpan, Like, I.
Speaker 3: Don't agree with her on everything, but you gotta give
Speaker 3: it to her on the timing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you do. You do.
Speaker 1: Her doing pull ups was just a bit. She was
Speaker 1: just trying. She was doing that for the lars. All right,
Speaker 1: let's talk about cicadas. Cicadas, the they're coming, as the
Speaker 1: right wing was warning us, So we had the eclipse,
Speaker 1: we had earthquake. Earthquake, sure sign that Jesus Jesus Christ
Speaker 1: coming back from the grave. But they also pointed out
Speaker 1: the infestation of locusts.
Speaker 3: Loci.
Speaker 1: Where are we at the locusts?
Speaker 2: Then I think the Bible says locusts, so we will
Speaker 2: go to pablical usage. But again, as as I pointed out,
Speaker 2: a lot of people are like, I mean, if we're
Speaker 2: getting like really into the bioogy here, locus or grasshoppers.
Speaker 2: Cicadas are crickets, So not quite a Bible anyway. All
Speaker 2: that to say is, again, the thing that Margie Taylor
Speaker 2: Green's boyfriend was referencing is this upcoming cicada Geddon that
Speaker 2: is about to pop off in the southeast and in
Speaker 2: Illinois Geddon and so I didn't. This is when you
Speaker 2: look at the story, it's actually a lot more in
Speaker 2: I'd rather this than whatever version of the apocalypse that
Speaker 2: you know the right wingers are pushing right now. But
Speaker 2: two Cicada broods are going to emerge at the same time.
Speaker 2: Brood nineteen, which emerges every thirteen years and will take
Speaker 2: over Georgia in the southeast, and then Brood thirteen, which
Speaker 2: emerges every seventeen years, which is going to take over Illinois. Apparently,
Speaker 2: the last time these two broods emerged at the same
Speaker 2: time was the year of the Louisiana purchase in eighteen
Speaker 2: oh three, so two hundred and twenty one years it's
Speaker 2: been since these two groups have emerged at the same time.
Speaker 2: But even to add to that, what's really interesting is
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously the Wool emergence is pretty interesting, and
Speaker 2: uh it made you know, signal the gates have hell
Speaker 2: to swallow the nation. I do feel like we just
Speaker 2: real quick, like I do feel like we've had this
Speaker 2: before on the show in our seven year history, where
Speaker 2: there has been hype about like multiple bruds. Brude Yeah,
Speaker 2: Brude X.
Speaker 1: Was the one, and it's I like, I then it
Speaker 1: was like this is unprecedented. This one hasn't come out
Speaker 1: at the same time as that one, but it's just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean those timings are going to line up. We
Speaker 1: don't know specifically, like if it's going to be particular,
Speaker 1: particularly when I.
Speaker 2: Think I will be one hundred and two years old
Speaker 2: when apparently the most fucked up dual emergence is gonna happen.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be the like twenty eighty six or something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's something fucking wacky like that. But anyway, what but see,
Speaker 2: I know you're like, all right, whatever they fucking come
Speaker 2: out at their their thirteen and seventeen year cycles, well
Speaker 2: this one.
Speaker 3: Whatever, they fucking come out of their thirteen seventeen years
Speaker 3: second yeh, yeah, well guess what.
Speaker 1: Guess he knew it then he fucking got you got
Speaker 1: to say that.
Speaker 2: We'll guess this group of little fuckers are about to
Speaker 2: pop out of the walls and have bungal zombie STDs.
Speaker 2: And you're like, what, Apparently this pathogen is known as
Speaker 2: Massa Spora cicadina, and if infected, there's like a lot
Speaker 2: of these locusts are gosh, they got me. These cicadas
Speaker 2: will be have this infection. A white plug will rip
Speaker 2: open a cicada's stomach, causing its genitals to fall off. However,
Speaker 2: then the fungus also produces an amphetamine, which basically turns
Speaker 2: the cicada into a fuck machine. Like okay, yeah, so
Speaker 2: these these fuckers are gonna be flying around horny as fuck,
Speaker 2: trying to bone without any boning equipment while a third
Speaker 2: of their bodies are basically fungus. And this one cicada
Speaker 2: expert said, they're going to be very sexualized. So males,
Speaker 2: for example, they'll continue to try and mate with females
Speaker 2: unsuccessfully because again their back end is a fungus. But
Speaker 2: they'll also pretend to be females to get males to
Speaker 2: come to them, and that doubles the number of cicadas
Speaker 2: that an infected individual comes in contact with because it
Speaker 2: is spread similar to like a human sexually transmitted infection
Speaker 2: because of like the rubbing of the nether regions gets
Speaker 2: the fungus flying around.
Speaker 1: All right, So you're gonna tell me that you're not
Speaker 1: familiar with this hustle where the person has their shit
Speaker 1: fall off because they're so infested with fungus, and then
Speaker 1: they have to pretend to be whatever you're interested in,
Speaker 1: and then just hump you until the fungus is all
Speaker 1: over you grow up. Okay, we've all been there.
Speaker 3: Where we o the game? Geez, this is scary.
Speaker 4: I live in Georgia, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, the Southeast,
Speaker 4: and you're gonna you're gonna see a bunch of these
Speaker 4: like white fungus.
Speaker 2: Budded locusts or fuck dude, cicadas having a fun party
Speaker 2: on a sidewalk near you. The thing that's a little
Speaker 2: freaky is that these experts are saying like they aren't
Speaker 2: totally sure what will happen if like other animals ingest
Speaker 2: these like dead bud ugs.
Speaker 1: And with the penis, yeah, with the.
Speaker 2: Emfetamine and everything, because it affects like all all all cicadas.
Speaker 2: They're like, we don't think it's gonna cause like issues
Speaker 2: based on prior observations, but we just we don't. We
Speaker 2: can't totally say for sure what is gonna happen, but
Speaker 2: we don't. We don't. We don't think it's likely that
Speaker 2: anything terrible would happen.
Speaker 3: Oh great, so there's a non zero chance.
Speaker 1: There's a non zero chance the entire ecosystems on meth
Speaker 1: for and horne this summer and does zombie Yeah, just
Speaker 1: everything fucking in the streets, deer fucking in the streets.
Speaker 2: I didn't. I mean, it would be cool if we
Speaker 2: got a fuck till you drop zombie apocalypse. I never
Speaker 2: that's really yeah, picture version of it.
Speaker 1: It's the zombie apocalypse. We haven't really seen where it's
Speaker 1: you know, the zombie plague is spread by zombies just
Speaker 1: like humping with a white powdery mushroom crotch that gets
Speaker 1: into your bloodstream through sheer string you with humping. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it would be that would be a funny idea for
Speaker 1: like a zombie movie. You know, it's probably gonna like
Speaker 1: ruin the scary tone, but yeah, it's just a pile
Speaker 1: of I don't know of zombies or.
Speaker 2: Zombies like humping a bus stock just because they're so like,
Speaker 2: what the fuck are they even trying to kill you? Like, nah, man,
Speaker 2: they're just humping and horny.
Speaker 3: What's the trope where you know, somebody gets bitten by
Speaker 3: a zombie or the undead and they lie about it
Speaker 3: for a while. Yeah, yeah, yeah, what are they like?
Speaker 3: Where are they like? We gotta check everybody's butteh.
Speaker 2: Better not being a white fungal plug. I gotta I
Speaker 2: gotta check something really quick.
Speaker 1: But everybody also has the experience of being so horny
Speaker 1: that they're basically a zombie and then like coming back
Speaker 1: to Earth after it and being like, oh Jesus Christ,
Speaker 1: the fes that my brain. Yeah, that's the one form
Speaker 1: of brain control that almost everybody has experience. Not it.
Speaker 3: Let's get arthouse with it. Okay, let's call it. Let's
Speaker 3: call it the Clarity.
Speaker 1: Right, Yes, Okay, I like it. That's all right.
Speaker 2: Anything I was hoping you guys would build on that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the Clarity, all right, Yeah, brought to you by Claton.
Speaker 1: There it is.
Speaker 2: Gotta brand it, man, gotta brand, yeah, yeah, gotta brand.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back. And we're back, and yeah, Disney just can't
Speaker 1: quit building dystopia's. We've talked about their lesson stellar record
Speaker 1: for creating dystopian planned communities before they just I think
Speaker 1: shut down or like sold off the one in Florida.
Speaker 1: It was like Liberty or something. It was like a
Speaker 1: little planned community subdivision thing.
Speaker 2: But they're still like the fire department didn't work and stuff. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: when we talked about that board where they're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're not really good at like actually running a municipality.
Speaker 2: Well not that they got the DeSantis folks in there,
Speaker 2: it's probably fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But last year it was announced that they weren't
Speaker 1: like giving up on the dream that was just you know,
Speaker 1: Plan A, and they're they're moving on to Plan B
Speaker 1: with what they're calling their first Story Living community just
Speaker 1: called Cotino and it's in Rancho Mirage, California. And Story
Speaker 1: Living by Disney are neighborhoods designed to offer super fans
Speaker 1: the opportunity to live amongst each other and incorporate the
Speaker 1: ninety nine year old brand into their lives even more consistently.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, that's that's also pass.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like yeah, going to having the magic of
Speaker 2: a theme park one thing when you're like I need
Speaker 2: I need my like walk to the driveway to also
Speaker 2: feel whimsical and detached from reality. That gets a little.
Speaker 2: That's where it's a thing where it's like, is it
Speaker 2: gonna actually be as good as like a Disney you
Speaker 2: think a Disney thing would be or is it just
Speaker 2: going to be like a hook? And then they just
Speaker 2: let the thing kind of fall apart and.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, well a couple of the details. So they
Speaker 1: say that this is where the story is all about you.
Speaker 1: The promotional video includes footage of what this could look like,
Speaker 1: and everyone is like at these art classes together, and
Speaker 1: everyone just painted the same image of Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
Speaker 1: Like it's just they're all like, yeah, this was so fun.
Speaker 1: It kind of it has like the hazy white light
Speaker 1: of a like Viagra commercial, you know, or like one
Speaker 1: of those pharmaceutical commercials. And they're all in an art
Speaker 1: class where they've all painted the exact same picture of
Speaker 1: Mickey and Minnie Mouse, which is just like a weird
Speaker 1: like it makes the people seem like automatons where they're
Speaker 1: just like, yay, look at my picture. It's the same
Speaker 1: as your picture. We are all together and in love
Speaker 1: with Mickey Mouse, right.
Speaker 2: It's like we only know how to draw the one thing,
Speaker 2: right goodness.
Speaker 3: I mean that hoa is gonna be fucking insane, right.
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean the ha is Disney, So yeah, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be you can't have in your driveway, you can't
Speaker 1: have you.
Speaker 2: So they're gonna yelling at people.
Speaker 1: Like truly, it seems like it's going to be the
Speaker 1: town from Edward Scissorhands or you know whatever that more
Speaker 1: recent Hairy Styles movie was, Don't worry, Darling, Like everybody
Speaker 1: has to fit in a forthcoming town center featuring a
Speaker 1: street market where local artists will sell our and crafts
Speaker 1: so long as they're Disney themed. And they also say
Speaker 1: it will be quote abundant with opportunities for laughter. Like
Speaker 1: just everything about it feels so weird and like it's
Speaker 1: being designed by an experimental artist to mock the idea
Speaker 1: of what this is. It's also, like they mentioned on
Speaker 1: multiple occasions like family events, which makes me realize that
Speaker 1: there are going to be people raising children here, like
Speaker 1: what a Truman show asque mind fuck like that you
Speaker 1: just the only thing you've ever known is growing up
Speaker 1: in a community where like reality and fiction are blurred
Speaker 1: together and where there's like these elements of your day
Speaker 1: to day life that are like a constructed blend of
Speaker 1: branding and genuine like humans and then like performance, Like
Speaker 1: what what that feels like? It just feels like a
Speaker 1: like a George Saunder story, Like it feels like Civil
Speaker 1: warland and bad Decline or like you know, one of
Speaker 1: those just weird dystopian things. Oh yet they're not even
Speaker 1: trying to hide, Like how strange it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the video I watched the video on like the
Speaker 2: official website that was like courting people and it's free.
Speaker 2: I mean they mentioned schools in it. I'm not sure
Speaker 2: if they mean like the nearby schools are good, but
Speaker 2: like I'm not sure they're going to be building schools
Speaker 2: like on this development, which is also fuck like what's
Speaker 2: a Disney education look like? But like the other thing too,
Speaker 2: is it also has this weird thing where like the
Speaker 2: first group of houses are going to be open to
Speaker 2: like a fifty five and up like sort of senior community,
Speaker 2: and they like they're like, those are the first people
Speaker 2: that are gonna get a stab at like owning in
Speaker 2: this place, and like the way they even pitch it
Speaker 2: to them is like, and your grandkids will definitely want
Speaker 2: to visit you if you live fucking here. Kind of
Speaker 2: shit even if a fascist, Yeah right exactly, No one
Speaker 2: can say no to the racist. Wait well, and but hey,
Speaker 2: look we're gonna have a big lagoon too. It'll all
Speaker 2: be fun.
Speaker 3: Grandpa makes me uncomfortable, but Goofy's also in the mix.
Speaker 1: Yes, right exactly. There is a twenty four acre lagoon,
Speaker 1: as Miles just mentioned, despite the fact their community is
Speaker 1: in the middle of a goddamn desert which is suffering
Speaker 1: from a let me check this unprecedented drought. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: twenty four acre lagoon that it will be kept an
Speaker 1: unnatural shade of Avatar blue all year round courtesy of
Speaker 1: patented crystal lagoons technology. Oh god, which is wild and
Speaker 1: like just the number of like dead birds and animals
Speaker 1: they'll be fishing out of that thing every morning. Just
Speaker 1: Goofy's out there fishing the dead flock of desert birds
Speaker 1: out of out of the blue the Avatar lagoon.
Speaker 3: Again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's also just wild. It just freaks me
Speaker 2: out when everyone says, like the water is like this
Speaker 2: because of lagoon technology, I'm like, what, It'll just be
Speaker 2: fucking water, Like, what the fuck are we doing? What
Speaker 2: are you doing? What does this even mean? It's all
Speaker 2: very freaky. It's all very very freaky. And no, I
Speaker 2: can't wait to see what it does to the housing
Speaker 2: prices too in the area.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they're starting in the upper million, like
Speaker 2: upper one millions, and then the other ones are lower
Speaker 2: two millions.
Speaker 1: This is a community that before this project was already
Speaker 1: suing on behalf of like people who need affordable housing
Speaker 1: because of the lack of availability of affordable housing. And
Speaker 1: now they're like, what if we dropped a planned community
Speaker 1: where everything was around two million dollars to start, Well,
Speaker 1: that'd be fun, right, Yeah, that's yah.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah, it'll bring the right kind of people
Speaker 2: into town. All right.
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of weird uh water projects water city situations,
Speaker 1: the summer Olympics are coming up. They're in Paris, and
Speaker 1: some people are expressing concern the athletes could be swimming
Speaker 1: in literal shit because the swimming events, not all of them,
Speaker 1: but the distant swimming events are being held in the
Speaker 1: Sen River, which is you may know as the river
Speaker 1: that flows through the middle of Paris and is like
Speaker 1: I've never wanted to touch it, like you know, like
Speaker 1: if you've ever seen it. It's not like man would
Speaker 1: love to go for a dip in in that water.
Speaker 3: They don't have lagoon technology, you know, they.
Speaker 1: Do not have lagoon and that is that's what they
Speaker 1: should be thinking about because recent tests of the river
Speaker 1: have showed alarming levels of bacteria, including E coli In
Speaker 1: fourteen tests taken between September and March. All but one
Speaker 1: of the results showed poor water quality, which isn't great.
Speaker 1: But so this is I guess a throwback to people
Speaker 1: swimming in the Sein in the nineteen hundred Olympics, when
Speaker 1: multiple events were held in the river. But since nineteen
Speaker 1: twenty three, swimming in the sin has been banned due
Speaker 1: to the river being polluted.
Speaker 3: And also, wait, just like if you live in the area,
Speaker 3: you can't swim in.
Speaker 1: You cannot swim in though, like no, but this time
Speaker 1: you can what And it also seems like one of
Speaker 1: those laws that isn't doesn't need to be that strictly
Speaker 1: enforced because nobody is like, you know what, seems like
Speaker 1: it'd be fun is eco life?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, jumping in that brown body of water.
Speaker 2: It's funny because when I read this, I was like, wait,
Speaker 2: this feels like a every Olympics story and I just
Speaker 2: looked back in Tokyo there was also a similar thing
Speaker 2: about the bay smelling like a toilet near the swimming
Speaker 2: venues and also contains E coli. Then I was like,
Speaker 2: what about London? I remember the people talking about the
Speaker 2: Thames too, also in the London Olympic levels would be cool.
Speaker 2: I were found in the River Thames course. So it
Speaker 2: basically feels like it's like this annual or whatever, send
Speaker 2: me whatever, quadranule I just made that up a news
Speaker 2: story that comes up about the Olympic sky shit water
Speaker 2: like tail as old as time, I'm like, as far
Speaker 2: back as I can remember, it's always. It's always because
Speaker 2: like all these urban areas are gonna you know, we're
Speaker 2: not fucking taking care of the environment, so yeah, it's
Speaker 2: gonna be shitty.
Speaker 1: Literally, we weren't taking care of the environment. But now
Speaker 1: the city has launched a one point five billion dollar
Speaker 1: infrastructure project that involves adding underground pipes, tanks, and pumps
Speaker 1: to keep wastewater from flowing into the river. I guess
Speaker 1: the big problem is that like it it's okay until
Speaker 1: it rains, and then all sorts of like you know,
Speaker 1: canals and you know shit rivers start overflowing into one another,
Speaker 1: and then the river is full of full of literal shit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but also changed this was interesting. They had to change
Speaker 1: the law to require moored boats to use Paris' sewage
Speaker 1: networks rather than emptying sewage and wastewater directly into the river.
Speaker 3: I mean by step is still a step, I guess.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just wild that that wasn't already a law.
Speaker 1: Even Chicago had sued Dave Matthews band for dumping all
Speaker 1: of their ship in the river of Chicago.
Speaker 3: Right what there are a lot of people in that band.
Speaker 1: Yeah there. You don't know the story about how their
Speaker 1: tour bus. So their tour bus stopped on a bridge
Speaker 1: in Chicago and it was one of those great bridges,
Speaker 1: you know bridges that it has a grate over it
Speaker 1: and then just emptied all their sewage out and there
Speaker 1: was a tourist boat going underneath it at the at
Speaker 1: that moment. So they got they got a little bit
Speaker 1: of troubles and actually don't.
Speaker 3: And the guy on that boat, Michael Phelps.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, test him, test him, test him.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So apparently people in boats were just shitting directly
Speaker 1: into the river before. But I don't know, yeah, I
Speaker 1: no more. This is this is how things work in
Speaker 1: hyper capitalism. Is that like you don't get money to
Speaker 1: fix polluted water until the Olympics come to down and
Speaker 1: then you know, suddenly you have one point five billion dollars.
Speaker 1: But Hey, it's better than continuing to have ship in
Speaker 1: the water, I guess you know.
Speaker 2: Also, please please hopefully the breakdancing venue doesn't have ship
Speaker 2: everywhere either, because I'm really looking forward to watching the
Speaker 2: Olympic breakdancing. Could you imagine they're like, somehow this venue
Speaker 2: also flooded with human ways. Yeah, the basketball court covered
Speaker 2: in ship everything.
Speaker 1: What's going on Menox.
Speaker 2: News, It's like more like San Francisco Olympics.
Speaker 3: You're like, oh, yeah, they go here, they.
Speaker 1: Go well, Ben Bowling, what a pleasure having you as
Speaker 1: always on the daily zeit geist? Where can people find you?
Speaker 1: Follow you, hear you all that good stuff?
Speaker 3: Heck yeah, if you feel like you haven't heard enough
Speaker 3: to day, check me out on social media and a
Speaker 3: burst of creativity. I'm calling myself at Ben Bullen on
Speaker 3: various platforms uck may you're crazy for this one, Jack,
Speaker 3: but you can also uh, you can also find us
Speaker 3: on Ridiculous History, where none other than Miles and Jack
Speaker 3: show up. Got to get you guys back on the
Speaker 3: show soon. Yeah, and the stuff they don't want you
Speaker 3: to know still a thing. Somehow haven't been fired for that?
Speaker 3: You know? That's it?
Speaker 1: Where you guys at on the Havana syndrome, the Havana singe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were talking about that recently. You saw that
Speaker 3: sixty minutes thing that was going to be a piece
Speaker 3: of media. Yeah. I don't know, man. It's interesting because
Speaker 3: we had I think we had a really good discourse
Speaker 3: where you brought up this point and you said, you know,
Speaker 3: if it's psychogenic, right, if we have now a name
Speaker 3: to hang a malady or malaise upon, then there's a
Speaker 3: power to that. And it was just astonishing to me
Speaker 3: that after all this exploration, right, sixty minutes and what
Speaker 3: is it, Der Spiegel and a couple other folks come
Speaker 3: out with this investigation.
Speaker 1: Insider, Yeah, yeah, the Insider, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the inside rights. It's just not confirmed though it's
Speaker 3: members of the US government saying.
Speaker 1: Right, and most of the US government is saying it's bullshit.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I just need to somebody needs to tell
Speaker 1: me here's how the science worked on it. Somebody needs
Speaker 1: to tell me, here's why when they recorded the sound
Speaker 1: of it it was crickets.
Speaker 3: Oh that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then somebody needs to tell me, like the physical malady,
Speaker 1: how it has lasted long, longer than a physical injury would.
Speaker 3: Right, because that recent that earlier study before the sixty
Speaker 3: minutes thing, proved that there were no physical like effects,
Speaker 3: no deformations in the neural structure. But also the thing is,
Speaker 3: the thing that keeps getting me about this is the technology,
Speaker 3: as explained again without the science to your point, it's possible,
Speaker 3: like it is possible to create something that could do
Speaker 3: something like that. You know, that's the idea. But also
Speaker 3: we're in a fear mongering cycle right now, right like
Speaker 3: everybody is. I mean, there are terrible things, and then
Speaker 3: they are also very powerful people who want you to
Speaker 3: worry about something else. So it just seems kind of
Speaker 3: convenient that all this shit is burning down and then
Speaker 3: you know, whenever, whenever somebody needs a good Fox News scare,
Speaker 3: they're like also many Russians dogs.
Speaker 1: Russians, Russians got they're fucking crosshairs on her head? Dude,
Speaker 1: what should I do in your ears? Now?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And I think that the only technology I've heard of
Speaker 1: that could do it would need to be the size
Speaker 1: of like a building. Like it's not it's not a
Speaker 1: thing that you can just like take out and point
Speaker 1: at someone and then how would get.
Speaker 3: A fact distance? Yeah, you know, what I.
Speaker 1: Mean, and it can't go through walls, which is like
Speaker 1: so it feels like you would wake up and turn
Speaker 1: around and there would be a guy crouching on your
Speaker 1: pillow pointing it your ear for it to work out
Speaker 1: instead of like just a mystery sound beam. Anyways, Well,
Speaker 1: is there a work of media that you've been enjoying
Speaker 1: or is it the sixty minutes report?
Speaker 3: It's the sixty minutes one thought? Do you guys and
Speaker 3: shout you out on stuff they want you to know?
Speaker 3: Because I was, look, folks psyching, if you're tuning in
Speaker 3: you haven't seen the sixty minutes thing. Would love to
Speaker 3: hear your thoughts, because again, these are actual journalists who
Speaker 3: are who spent years investing gating this. But I just
Speaker 3: don't know, man, I I don't know.
Speaker 1: Really made me like suddenly, like all the people who
Speaker 1: are like yeah sixty minutes, I was like CIA connections
Speaker 1: all the mainstream media, like they have these like people
Speaker 1: who were in Skull and Bones with the head of
Speaker 1: the CIA, and like I was always like a little
Speaker 1: skeptical of that shit, and like sixty minutes doing that story,
Speaker 1: I was like, huh, okay, take another look, Like what
Speaker 1: was what's the reasoning behind it?
Speaker 2: At that point, it just feels like propaganda. Like I'm like,
Speaker 2: was this something that we were aside from like people
Speaker 2: who are really interested in the story needed this kind
Speaker 2: of an update on it where they're like, yeah, man,
Speaker 2: it's definitely definitely definitely Russia for sure. I mean most
Speaker 2: people disagree that are experts in the field, but that's
Speaker 2: just like their opinion.
Speaker 3: Man, yeah, right exactly. And the response is always yeah,
Speaker 3: but Russia.
Speaker 2: Though, Russia, And then people are like, well.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, trust Russia.
Speaker 1: Oh you do trust Russia? You think Russia's cool? Is
Speaker 1: that what you're saying?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 3: Is that where you're going with this? Interesting? You love it?
Speaker 1: Sounds like you fucking love Russia, dude.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: What I think it's accommodation of probably, you know, it
Speaker 1: always being good for the US to have fear mongering
Speaker 1: of Russia happening, and also there being a lot of
Speaker 1: people who believe they got injured and you know, aren't
Speaker 1: going to let it just die down of like you know,
Speaker 1: go down in history as them having a psychogenic thing
Speaker 1: like that's kind of humiliating. So that makes sense, and
Speaker 1: it's very difficult, and I feel horrible for the people
Speaker 1: who are experiencing that for sure.
Speaker 2: And look if yeah, all the CIA spooks out there
Speaker 2: that are suffering.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or they're family members, you know, like they think
Speaker 1: they experience something they're not. They're not sitting at home
Speaker 1: being like I've made this up because it's.
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe a couple.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe a couple. Yeah, maybe I got it.
Speaker 2: Sixty minutes babe, I'm getting what are you going to Yeah,
Speaker 2: I gotta wear a prosthetic face, but it'll be cool.
Speaker 1: Miles. Yeah, that was wild that where they were like
Speaker 1: and why you're not even trying to hide their Yeah,
Speaker 1: like the darkened fit.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: For people who didn't watch the sixty minutes report, they
Speaker 1: at one point they're like, we've put prosthetics all over
Speaker 1: this person so you can't identify them. And then they
Speaker 1: just like show this blonde woman and like it's a
Speaker 1: normal person, yeah, or you know, blonde person.
Speaker 2: I think it's never good to be able to show
Speaker 2: the distance between someone's eyes because that's the one thing
Speaker 2: you can't change, Like, yeah, no matter how much plastic
Speaker 2: surgery you do, Like, were's fucking sunglasses. If you're really
Speaker 2: going to obscure them. Don't be like, no, dude, this
Speaker 2: wig and nose are enough for everybody to be like.
Speaker 2: I don't know at all.
Speaker 1: That's why, Miles, whenever we see each other for the
Speaker 1: first time in a while, you do put your thumb
Speaker 1: and pinky finger up to the corners of my eyes
Speaker 1: and then.
Speaker 2: I have it on my forearm. I just hold it up.
Speaker 3: Jack.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, Jack, you know the drill rest

Speaker 4: to Miles and Jack got mad Man.
Speaker 2: Whereas we get closer to the playoffs, baby, and maybe
Speaker 2: my Lakers will humiliate.
