Speaker 1: a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's
Speaker 1: shared consciousness. And it is Wednesday, February fourteenth, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Don't even get me started on what day that is?
Speaker 1: Oh Valentine Day.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't
Speaker 2: think so. Okay, not on my watch. No love allowed today.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's got someone you want to smooch.
Speaker 2: Save it for tomorrow. Yeah, that's right out.
Speaker 1: I just walk around putting a balloon between people who
Speaker 1: are expressing affection to one another, like on a middle
Speaker 1: school dance chef. Yeah, you're like the make room for Jesus,
Speaker 1: mao Makeroom for Jesus, just going from.
Speaker 2: Person to person.
Speaker 1: Well, shit, I don't have a Valentine's I just realized
Speaker 1: it was Valentine's Day as I read the date. As
Speaker 1: we were getting into the dock. Whe a very lucky woman.
Speaker 1: Jack O'Brien aka Julius o. Pringles aka Apple Vision pro
Speaker 1: Tatoes O'Brien aka The thigh Master general those are courtesy
Speaker 1: as Scouty from the Discord and then to add a
Speaker 1: non musical AKA to the mix from me the propeller hat,
Speaker 1: Nostrodamis shouts out to all the listeners, Guys, I predicted
Speaker 1: that propeller hats were coming back during our year end
Speaker 1: prediction show, and some might have thought I was doing
Speaker 1: it as a bit. Uh and but ever since I
Speaker 1: did it, people have been spotting propeller hats in the
Speaker 1: wild and sending me fucking pictures of them. And I
Speaker 1: must say, yeah, I knew that she was gonna happen.
Speaker 1: In no way did I do it as a bit.
Speaker 1: I charted the trends.
Speaker 2: I read the.
Speaker 1: Waves, you know, like she talked about Cerulean and the
Speaker 1: devil wear Sprauda.
Speaker 2: Oh you think.
Speaker 1: That's just a propeller hat, Oh darling, No that is.
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to riff on that anyways.
Speaker 2: You got it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're we're three funny people.
Speaker 2: We could come up with it.
Speaker 1: We could come up, but propeller hats are like Miles
Speaker 1: was in Japan for the holiday and saw some propeller
Speaker 1: hats in Japan, very fashion forward. Oh you know it's
Speaker 1: it's coming, folks.
Speaker 2: I think that the dark side of this is it's
Speaker 2: going to be some sort of like three D printed
Speaker 2: drop ship like way too powerful. Propeller is the next
Speaker 2: evoltion of.
Speaker 1: This ship actually pulls people off the ground, like something
Speaker 1: with some kind of aerodynamic buoyancy.
Speaker 2: And then Elon Musk is gonna make one. It's going
Speaker 2: to be you're You're. You aren't a good part of
Speaker 2: this trend, but it's gonna like all things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's like, that's why we don't have high speed
Speaker 3: rail in this country.
Speaker 1: Right, It's got to be something private. It's got to
Speaker 1: be individualism. So I need to individually, need to be
Speaker 1: able to take off from the ground and get somewhere.
Speaker 2: Propeller hat is the least efficient mode of transportation. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I possibly think.
Speaker 3: Of whenever I'm on Whenever I'm on an airplane with
Speaker 3: a group of people, I always fold my arms and say,
Speaker 3: I wish.
Speaker 2: This was just me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, people, am I right? But inspector Gadget almost
Speaker 1: pronounce it jadget inspector gadget is I go soft on both?
Speaker 1: Jeez is a fashion icon. Speaking of fashion icons, I'm
Speaker 1: thrilled to be joined by a very special guest co host,
Speaker 1: a hilarious and brilliant producer, TV writer you know from
Speaker 1: the Joses Racist Podcast.
Speaker 2: It is Andrew T. I thought you would say, speaking
Speaker 2: of going soft on both gs, I don't have an
Speaker 2: AKA because I spent my AKA bright storming time taking
Speaker 2: a COVID test which just came back negative. I'm just
Speaker 2: I'm not even feeling sick, but I have a wee
Speaker 2: bit of sore throat. I now think is just just
Speaker 2: l A is fucked up. I guess it's all though. Yeah, Akka,
Speaker 2: not even a little covid AKA COVID negative. So far?
Speaker 1: So far are you using? Did you get new COVID
Speaker 1: tests because I tested negative? I was feeling a little
Speaker 1: under the weather last week or two weeks ago, took
Speaker 1: a COVID test. But then I realized it's like from
Speaker 1: the original wave.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, it's so expired. Probably fine, I
Speaker 2: would imagine. I guess the whatever the enzyme could get denatured.
Speaker 2: This was a Canadian COVID test that was a a
Speaker 2: gift from my neighbor. I guess technically my neighbor's boyfriend
Speaker 2: who's from Canada. He's real, but he is from Canada,
Speaker 2: my Canadian boyfriend, and yeah, they I had like looked
Speaker 2: out for some stuff in their apartment while they were
Speaker 2: guess gone for the how it is anyway, when they return,
Speaker 2: some nice, nice treats, bottle of wine. But also they
Speaker 2: thought it'd be really funny to give me a Canadian
Speaker 2: COVID test comes in a pack of five and so far,
Speaker 2: and I guess this is probably I don't know if
Speaker 2: this speaks to the steady hands of Canadians or just
Speaker 2: the improved precision. But you know how like in the
Speaker 2: normal at home COVID test, there's like a little vial
Speaker 2: of liquid that is I think the end zign or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and you know you ultimately only need three drops of it.
Speaker 2: In the Canadian COVID test, the source vial like where
Speaker 2: you get the original thing that you switch around in, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it has it has like three point five drops like
Speaker 2: you basically cannot like like by the time it is
Speaker 2: like absolutely clean, pristine, empty, but if your hand even
Speaker 2: shakes a tiny bit or like anything goes wrong, it's
Speaker 2: completely fucked. That's interesting. It was so hard.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh no, yes, I like that other
Speaker 1: countries have a higher level of difficulty with their COVID
Speaker 1: tests and like and they're like, we're gonna need all
Speaker 1: the solution we can get.
Speaker 2: Man, these guys, here's like a two liter of this ship.
Speaker 2: Just pour it in. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I like, I always empty the entire thing into the
Speaker 3: COVID test because it's like it says four drops or whatever,
Speaker 3: and I feel like whenever I do it, I'm just like, yeah,
Speaker 3: there's six drops in there. I'm just gonna I'm just
Speaker 3: gonna be generous.
Speaker 1: And then they spread it around like I just won
Speaker 1: the NBA Champagne.
Speaker 2: You know, it was really it was, but it was shocking.
Speaker 2: I was like, god, damn it, I can't and I
Speaker 2: did almost suck up. I like, you know, like sometimes
Speaker 2: you got to.
Speaker 1: Get it like back out of the like you have
Speaker 1: to wring it out, so you're ringing skills need to
Speaker 1: be like next one, ringing.
Speaker 2: Needs to be high. But also there's little enough liquid
Speaker 2: that like surface tension starts to matter. Like one of
Speaker 2: the drops because there was a bubble started to pull
Speaker 2: like away from the thing, and I was like, that's
Speaker 2: a third of my supply. Yeah, the fuck Canada.
Speaker 1: I would assume Canadian COVID tests actually work because they
Speaker 1: don't have like any incentive to get everybody back to work.
Speaker 1: They actually care whether people so like I would think
Speaker 1: that's like premium top tier ship is the.
Speaker 2: Canadia, and they have to like yeah, pay for all
Speaker 2: the like, like the healthcare is handled, so it's actually
Speaker 2: in their interest to just get people healthy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's maybe America does like a positive test because
Speaker 1: then money is being made. It's good for the economy.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I feel like whenever I get like a positive or
Speaker 3: a negative COVID test, I always don't trust it.
Speaker 2: I'm just like, no, I need a second opinion. That's yeah,
Speaker 2: I probably should. I probably should do an American quoted test.
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, right to the whole pandemic.
Speaker 3: That yeah, assholes every time we said COVID in this conversation.
Speaker 3: If this is an audio medium, but we've all been
Speaker 3: doing quote marks. I've been doing sort of the jack
Speaker 3: off motion.

Speaker 1: in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
Speaker 1: couple of the things we're talking about. John Stewart is
Speaker 1: back and he has angered the Libs.
Speaker 2: They were not.
Speaker 1: Pleased that he called Joe Biden old. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about that. We're gonna talk about why Joe Biden
Speaker 1: not old? Okay, Okay, John Stewart, He's not old. The
Speaker 1: man is on TikTok and he's also owning everyone with
Speaker 1: sick memes that are extremely poorly timed.
Speaker 3: He's not old, he's young.
Speaker 1: Part two, we'll talk about Madam Web. Is that how
Speaker 1: we're pronouncing that Madam Web? Madam the New Spider Man
Speaker 1: non Spider Man film that had the trailer that everybody
Speaker 1: was kind of entertainingly confused by and Dakota Johnson had
Speaker 1: a fun press tour. The movie is out, the reviews
Speaker 1: are unkind. It is being called the Cats of superhero movies.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna just check in with that one real quick.
Speaker 1: All that plenty more.
Speaker 2: But first, Joey, we do like to ask our guest,
Speaker 2: what is something from your search history?
Speaker 3: Okay, So I've talked about this previously on this podcast.
Speaker 3: I recently started working out with a personal trainer, So
Speaker 3: because of that, I'm really obsessed with macros, like macro nutrients,
Speaker 3: making sure I'm eating the right amunt of protein. So
Speaker 3: my most recent search history was how much protein is
Speaker 3: in brunch? And I was really stressed while I was
Speaker 3: googling it. My girlfriend and I took out to brunch
Speaker 3: on Sunday and I was just like, oh, shoot, too shit,
Speaker 3: can I make this work with my macros?
Speaker 1: Macros are like protein and like the like protein carbs,
Speaker 1: and like protein carbs and fat.
Speaker 2: Was it just a fistful of holiday sauce? Yes?
Speaker 3: Yes, I asked them to sprinkle a little bit of
Speaker 3: chicken into it.
Speaker 2: Just protein. It's like a sippy cup of holiday one
Speaker 2: holiday sauce, one chicken braass on holidays please. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I love.
Speaker 1: Holiday sauce with French fries. And the macros on that
Speaker 1: not good, not good.
Speaker 2: Look, you can off set it.
Speaker 3: If you can off set it if you eat some
Speaker 3: just pure slim gems for dinner later.
Speaker 2: Are slim gyms good macros.
Speaker 3: So a lot of the structus macros is making sure
Speaker 3: that you have like a good protein protein to calorie ratio,
Speaker 3: and do you have a very good protein calorie ratio.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, the sodium like compounds that I.
Speaker 3: Just don't even think about. For sure, I'm for sure
Speaker 3: getting mummified from the inside based on my diet right now, right,
Speaker 3: But my protein is but my protein level is good.
Speaker 1: They're gonna find your liver in forty five thousand years
Speaker 1: and be like, holy shit, this is perfectly preserved and
Speaker 1: glow it and eat it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I gotta say it is. It's so funny
Speaker 3: how obsessed I've gotten with this stuff. I recently served
Speaker 3: former dailies. I guess guessed I'm Eli Yuden post on
Speaker 3: Twitter something to the effect of like I'm thinking about
Speaker 3: eating more protein and stuff like that. I immediately jumped
Speaker 3: into his d DMS and was just like here's the
Speaker 3: best Greek yogurt like brand, just like yogurt brand. Oh okay,
Speaker 3: so oh yeah, real opinion. So no, no, So the
Speaker 3: brands that I like is a brand called Oikos that
Speaker 3: is ninety calories for fifteen grams of protein, and then
Speaker 3: there's another brand called Shobani that's sixty calories for eleven
Speaker 3: grams of protein. And they don't taste bad. There's a
Speaker 3: little bit of flavor to them, but it's just like
Speaker 3: if you you know, like if it's the end of
Speaker 3: the day and you're about to go to bed, but
Speaker 3: you're just like, oh, I'm sure on protein by ten gram,
Speaker 3: then you can just like chug a Greek yogurt while
Speaker 3: I was trying to sleep. This is what my life is.
Speaker 3: I'm a cautionary tale. Don't try to become me. I
Speaker 3: hate this.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember when when like Greek yogurt first
Speaker 2: came out as like a mass marketed product. I was
Speaker 2: still living in New York and one of my coworkers,
Speaker 2: like one of my best like actual work friends, was like,
Speaker 2: oh no, man, I don't fuck with Greek yogurts. Like
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember, I'm trying to remember but not
Speaker 2: say the brand because it's a little I guess libelist
Speaker 2: or whatever. But basically it.
Speaker 3: Came allegedly alleged, So what had allegedly turned his insides
Speaker 3: into goose?
Speaker 2: Well, it's not about the product. He was like, I
Speaker 2: can't funk, I can't fuck with those that Greek yogurt.
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, well why, I mean it's good,
Speaker 2: I think, and he was like, yeah, like the guy
Speaker 2: that founded the company, like like my friend's wife cheated
Speaker 2: on him with oh no, like like broke up the marriage.
Speaker 2: So it's like, yeah, I don't fuck with Greek yogret.
Speaker 3: I was like, that's so brilliant, just like that one
Speaker 3: brand or like any just one brand of Greek yogurt.
Speaker 2: And I don't remember which it is. I don't think
Speaker 2: if I were to guess, it would be not polite.
Speaker 2: I suppose, yeah, let's just go with it. Anyways.
Speaker 1: Top three Greek yogurt brands that we think the guy
Speaker 1: might be.
Speaker 2: Which, yeah, which which is the which is the cheat Nest,
Speaker 2: Cheatness tasted Yogurt.
Speaker 3: You gonna say, Jack, where were you with that? With
Speaker 3: that balloon telling him to say six inches apart? When
Speaker 3: the exactly.
Speaker 2: Yourself.
Speaker 3: Mister, your work is never done. Nokos is very virtuous.
Speaker 3: I'm going to defend to the death.
Speaker 1: It was probably one of the brands that like tells
Speaker 1: their whole founder story on the label, you know, like the.
Speaker 2: Found the story was definitely he likes so hard.
Speaker 3: Like Greek yogurt, because it's kind of like, this is
Speaker 3: why he likes the yog this is why he got
Speaker 3: the whole.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I also remember hearing that Greek yogurt like the process
Speaker 1: for making Greek yogurt, it makes the Greek yogurt very good,
Speaker 1: very great. Macros on that ship even though you you
Speaker 1: were the Charles Barkley of macros and don't want people to.
Speaker 2: Think of you as a role model. I don't think of.
Speaker 1: You as a role model. Oh I know, I'm excited
Speaker 1: about these macros. But then like the other thing, the
Speaker 1: water or the liquid that gets strained out to make
Speaker 1: it like that hyper condensed greekyogret is like poison, something
Speaker 1: that hovering back of the day and like they don't
Speaker 1: know what to do with it.
Speaker 2: They're like, oh no.
Speaker 3: No, I'm sure. Me like being like eating this very
Speaker 3: specific macro diet is cutting fifty years off of my life.
Speaker 2: No, I think it was like as a as a waste,
Speaker 2: as a waste, yeah, exactly, like acidic or something, yes, hypercidic.
Speaker 2: And it just makes me like it more. I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess what it is is. It's very clearly just
Speaker 2: the opposite of the Greek yogurt.
Speaker 1: Yes, like it's just like that's what they're saying, is
Speaker 1: that the macros on this by waste by product are
Speaker 1: terrible and that's why it's a waste by product.
Speaker 2: You took You took milk and split it into good
Speaker 2: and evil. That's right. What is something, Joey that you
Speaker 2: think is overrated?
Speaker 3: So okay, so this is gonna be probably controversial, but
Speaker 3: I think it's overrated. To dunk on Taylor Swift and
Speaker 3: Travis Kelsey's relationship, I'm happy for them.
Speaker 1: Oh come on, man, No, I guess that there is
Speaker 1: there is just something nice about like, you know, like
Speaker 1: it's like both of them are winning it life.
Speaker 3: Like he's like a super Bowl champion. She's like the
Speaker 3: biggest pop star in the world. Like there's just, I
Speaker 3: don't know, something.
Speaker 2: Nice about it.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, yes, yes, I'm a pentagon sy that's it.
Speaker 2: I I hate them as much as I hate any
Speaker 2: other two white people together, so I don't need them especially.
Speaker 2: But but you know what they did.
Speaker 3: I think that, you know, it's Valentine's Day. It's okay
Speaker 3: for people to like each other.
Speaker 1: Not not on my watch, not in my America, I do.
Speaker 2: I am eager to see it.
Speaker 1: Like there's been fun you know, memes about like what
Speaker 1: Travis getting ready for her birthday and being like, Babe,
Speaker 1: you're gonna love this. It's both a cafe and a rainforest.
Speaker 1: Like I am curious what he does for her on
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta say so. I am happy for their relationship.
Speaker 3: But watching the Super Bowl, part of me really wanted
Speaker 3: the Chiefs to just horribly lose the game and for
Speaker 3: Travis to still try to propose to her at the
Speaker 3: end of the game.
Speaker 2: And she says, no, I literally didn't watch the game.
Speaker 3: I like half that attention. Yeah, so the Chiefs one
Speaker 3: in overtime, but like it definitely was like looking dicey
Speaker 3: for a little while.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was a dicey affair. It was back
Speaker 2: and forth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, every time they cut to her, she was
Speaker 1: with like a different famous person.
Speaker 2: It was wild.
Speaker 1: It was like there was a steady rotation.
Speaker 2: It was kind of impressive. But yeah, I like, I
Speaker 2: mean those feel like they have to be like blocked.
Speaker 2: Like it's just like there's like probably a Google doc
Speaker 2: and like a PA like getting people ready for the
Speaker 2: next shot. Yeah. Yeah, Ice was in there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, that's just like this is a live
Speaker 3: TV thing. There's for sure a producer whose job is like, Okay,
Speaker 3: we've got the Ice by shot. You know, like it's
Speaker 3: just it's live TV is a pretty much a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they kind of look like Renaissance paintings. Every time
Speaker 1: there's like just agony, ecstasy, everybody just kind of looking
Speaker 1: in the same direction.
Speaker 3: Also, just while we're on the topic, it's so funny
Speaker 3: to me that the NFL has the words racism written
Speaker 3: on the sidelines right above the Kansas City Chief's lego.
Speaker 2: Like there's a really easy way you can start by
Speaker 2: any racism racism I mean not now particular no no, no, no,
Speaker 2: like some racism.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked you what what's that phrase that's like, uh,
Speaker 1: capture where like the corporations like capture the people who
Speaker 1: are supposed to be keeping tabs on them what regulatory capture?
Speaker 1: Were regulatory capture last week? And like how it's you know,
Speaker 1: all these bureaucrats who are like designed to keep businesses
Speaker 1: in line just because immediately get.
Speaker 2: Like mood over to the side of the corporation. I
Speaker 2: feel like that is what has happened with Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anti racism, Like they've just they've just captured that idea
Speaker 1: and been like, now it's a slogan on our field
Speaker 1: next to our racist It just it just.
Speaker 2: Didn't come out like on the on the telecast. So
Speaker 2: if you look closely, there are like scare quotes around end,
Speaker 2: like really they're really fade Yeah, oh god. Yeah. They
Speaker 2: also like the whole like yeah, there's an illustration of
Speaker 2: the doing the jack off motion every time they.
Speaker 1: Cut away to Roder and Goodell, he was what Joey
Speaker 1: is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 3: Okay, so it's going to be a deep poll. But
Speaker 3: lately I've been really obsessed with the twenty fifteen PC
Speaker 3: survival horror RPG Dead State. So this is like an
Speaker 3: isometric turn based RPG. It's like a post apocalyptic game
Speaker 3: that takes place in Austin, Texas. It came out to
Speaker 3: like some fanfare in twenty fourteen, but like the reviews
Speaker 3: were a little bit unkind to it because it was
Speaker 3: made by a small team and just a little bit
Speaker 3: like you know, you could feel that it had like
Speaker 3: maybe bigger right is and the team could put together.
Speaker 3: But it's just like a fantastic game. I've been obsessed
Speaker 3: with it over the past like two months, and I
Speaker 3: think everybody should play it if you like you know
Speaker 3: Fallout xcom or just like you know, weird dorky rpugs.
Speaker 3: Definitely give a Dead State try. It's super anniversary.
Speaker 2: Yeah ten years, yeah, yeah nice.
Speaker 1: Our next Expert episode is with one of our good
Speaker 1: friend's favorite guests on here, who is a bit of
Speaker 1: a gaming expert, and we were just talking about the
Speaker 1: future of gaming and how like indie games with the
Speaker 1: advent of like AI, like that could be It's the
Speaker 1: first time I've been like, oh, a, I could be
Speaker 1: good in this one very specific way, you know, helping
Speaker 1: people code and like make games with like smaller and
Speaker 1: smaller teams, so like indie games get better and better.
Speaker 3: Because what I love about the indie game space is
Speaker 3: that like oftentimes the teams are just like you know,
Speaker 3: one to four people and they'll come up with a
Speaker 3: game new game every three or four years, so it
Speaker 3: really feels like you're following a band that you like.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, like, oh they just dropped a new album.
Speaker 3: Yeah no, no, real like and like I think that
Speaker 3: there is just something fun and exciting about the space
Speaker 3: and like because of that, it's like the games, like
Speaker 3: you know, it can be like raw in some ways,
Speaker 3: but it feels like there's like one directorial voice to it,
Speaker 3: as opposed to like, you know, a game made by
Speaker 3: four thousand people with like you know, a billion dollar budget.
Speaker 3: That's just you can tell, like being the kind of
Speaker 3: an executive noted all the interesting stuff out of it.
Speaker 1: Right, Sorry, this part was interesting. Yeah, no, I know
Speaker 1: we were pretty excited about it. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. No you thought that was a good thing. No,
Speaker 1: we're trying to a billion games here.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And part of the reason I think I'm probably promoting
Speaker 3: Dead State is that, like I don't think that anybody
Speaker 3: else has played it since twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2: Like the stem forms are dead on it.
Speaker 3: So I'm just like, you need to, I need to
Speaker 3: like talk about this so the more people play it,
Speaker 3: just so I can, like you know, figure out like
Speaker 3: the secrets is to how to like get more loot
Speaker 3: and stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, help them out.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so truly deeply underrated dead Yeah check it out.
Speaker 2: Wait, what is an isometric?
Speaker 3: What is isometric is? Like so I think like the
Speaker 3: legend of Zelda is like top down, like isometric is
Speaker 3: like the camera angle is like slightly at an angle,
Speaker 3: So it's maybe like a three fourths not totally right
Speaker 3: about everything on the side. So it's like the original Fallout,
Speaker 3: Fallout one and two kind of had that sort of
Speaker 3: review and like the original Xcom games and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: It's just like a really specific, like kind of RP
Speaker 3: camera dial.
Speaker 1: Yeah, got it, all right, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll come back and talk about Joe Biden being
Speaker 1: a young, hip, cool guy. And we're back, and just briefly,
Speaker 1: Jon Stewart came did his like first return.
Speaker 2: I didn't watch it.
Speaker 1: I writer jam watch it was like this pretty He
Speaker 1: was dreading it and thought it was kind of funny.
Speaker 1: Most of his opening segment was devoted to the ages
Speaker 1: of both presidential candidates, and therein lies the problem. People
Speaker 1: were like, what the fuck, dude, You're only supposed to
Speaker 1: talk about Republicans. Bro he focused on as did we
Speaker 1: yesterday we you know, Biden's slip up where he had
Speaker 1: called the press conference to be like I'm not you
Speaker 1: think I'm old and came on and was like throwing
Speaker 1: sick burns at Fox News and was like real revved
Speaker 1: up and was like leaving the field of play having
Speaker 1: like done what he came to do. And then someone
Speaker 1: asked him a question about Israel and he like went
Speaker 1: back to the podium and confused Mexico and Egypt, and
Speaker 1: people were like, oh, buddy, you were so close. But anyways,
Speaker 1: I mean he he also so pointed out Biden's slip ups.
Speaker 1: He also said that Trump's statements during his rallies weren't
Speaker 1: a wellness check, like he was talking about both of them,
Speaker 1: but people were pissed. I think my favorite joke from
Speaker 1: it is that he took the clip of Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: being like, I assure you in closed door meetings, Biden
Speaker 1: is smart and on his game and on top of it,
Speaker 1: and he was like, did anyone dad like that would
Speaker 1: be good to show to people. But anyways, people like
Speaker 1: Keith Alberman, who we were all waiting to hear what. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we all knew Keith Alberman was still alive and we're
Speaker 1: waiting to hear what he thought on anything, but he
Speaker 1: came out and was like, just both sides of fraud.
Speaker 2: He's mad.
Speaker 1: Rolling Stone referred to John Stewart's both sides are equally
Speaker 1: bad approach, which doesn't seem like exactly what he's saying.
Speaker 1: I think you can be frustrated that Joe Biden doesn't
Speaker 1: seem to be the best candidate, specifically because Trump is
Speaker 1: such a terrifying prospect, which kind of is where I'm
Speaker 1: sitting at the moment. So yeah, yeah, how are you
Speaker 1: guys feeling feeling good about our options?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Weirdly, Yeah, it's like this is like kind of
Speaker 2: the first time I was like, because I feel like
Speaker 2: the previous incarnation of Daily Show John Stewart would not
Speaker 2: really ever like actually criticize like the kind of our
Speaker 2: center right Democratic party, right, so like this feels like
Speaker 2: good ish.
Speaker 1: Actually I'm surprised I am more in line with where
Speaker 1: I think people's mind.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that, you know, I mean, ultimately,
Speaker 3: John Stewart's a comedian. His jobs be funny, but he's
Speaker 3: also put himself in this really interesting media criticism and
Speaker 3: analys role. Yeah, to criticize the media. And you know,
Speaker 3: I think that Biden and Trump are the presidential candidates
Speaker 3: who look and sound old as fuck. Don't get mad
Speaker 3: at John Stewart for pointing it out, like you know,
Speaker 3: get mad at Biden's campaign team for letting me be
Speaker 3: pre presented in that way.
Speaker 1: Or get excited about r F K Junior, who you
Speaker 1: are on this podcast.
Speaker 2: If you if you read between the lines, you could
Speaker 2: really tell which direction of this pot is which where
Speaker 2: Jack is going slightly read between anti vax is really
Speaker 2: really I.
Speaker 1: Have put COVID in scare quotes multiple times and did
Speaker 1: say I'm excited about RFK Junior. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you're picking up the tiny little bread cone from that's
Speaker 1: what has when I'm out on macros and I'm so excited.
Speaker 3: Look, do I love r F K Junior because he
Speaker 3: probably knows what a macro is?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: Is that what I base my presidential candidate votes on?
Speaker 2: Yes? Also, yeah, I will say, actually, joeyjo, I think
Speaker 2: he just said I I don't know if I agree that. Like,
Speaker 2: in the job of host of the Daily Show, John
Speaker 2: Stewart is a comedian.
Speaker 3: Well okay, well it's on Comedy Central. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: theoretically he's supposed to be doing.
Speaker 2: I know, I know. I just think it's like I
Speaker 2: don't think the show would do well if he was
Speaker 2: just doing jokes. Like most of the bits that do
Speaker 2: well with their audience are like I think, unfortunately, not jokes. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It is so weird, Like I, you know, I went
Speaker 3: to school for journalism and I graduated from like the
Speaker 3: Edward Armureau College of Communication, and it's like, so I like,
Speaker 3: I really respect journalism, and it's so weird to me
Speaker 3: that he's kind of found himself John Stewart in this
Speaker 3: position where he's kind of one of the most respected
Speaker 3: journalists in the country, and he's like he's not a journalist.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, and there's the problem.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's like it's sort of a and like
Speaker 3: he's he's the person where you know, I think on
Speaker 3: his on his Apple TV show, there was this expectation
Speaker 3: of like, finally he's gonna do hard hitting interviews and
Speaker 3: it's like, yeah, it's we're putting so much on John
Speaker 3: Stewart's shoulders.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, well really, yeah, it's that part is the
Speaker 2: biggest barber to me. I'm just like this, this is
Speaker 2: just none of this should exist in this way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we should have good like television journalism should be better,
Speaker 3: like what I And part of the problem is just
Speaker 3: like it's like the twenty four hour news cycle, there
Speaker 3: is just this need to fill time with opinion more
Speaker 3: than like actual news. And it's like if you watch, like,
Speaker 3: you know, just any of the twenty four hour news channels,
Speaker 3: it's like ninety percent of their programming is just like
Speaker 3: a panel of like experts or whatever just kind of
Speaker 3: riffing on what they're hearing about as opposed to like
Speaker 3: actual like research the thing journalism, And uh yeah, I
Speaker 3: don't know. It's like it's I'm excited that John Stewart's back,
Speaker 3: like I thought he did, you know, a good job,
Speaker 3: and it's first episode back. But it is such a
Speaker 3: bummer that like there is this feeling of like, oh,
Speaker 3: finally real news can come back on Comedy Central.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I didn't realize Comedy Central was still a channel,
Speaker 1: To be.
Speaker 2: Honest, I did. I legitimately also was like I was like,
Speaker 2: I guess I would have heard had Daily Show been canceled.
Speaker 2: But the big announcement that he was coming back, I
Speaker 2: was like, oh god, yeah.
Speaker 3: Like it was it was a weird like you know,
Speaker 3: it was this weird feeling of like, you know, ultimately
Speaker 3: I'm a big proponent of like giving new people a
Speaker 3: shot and you know, bringing in like you know, psc
Speaker 3: voices and works for marginalized communities to hold those positions.
Speaker 2: But like, I don't know, I.
Speaker 3: Do think that John Stewart like he like he's basically
Speaker 3: he said that he's only going to come back until
Speaker 3: I think the election. So it does feel like he's
Speaker 3: kind of back for like a really specific purpose and
Speaker 3: he's not going to like stick around forever. And a
Speaker 3: lot of his jokes even were just like I'm in
Speaker 3: my sixties. It's weird, I'm back, like you know. So
Speaker 3: he gets it right.
Speaker 1: Well, it'll be interesting to see what he has to
Speaker 1: say in his next appearance, because, uh, he's not gonna
Speaker 1: have Joe Biden to beat up on for being old.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much. Because Joe Biden has proven
Speaker 1: he young. He joined TikTok, he's his campaign has entered.
Speaker 1: It's Steve Buscemi holding a skateboard phase and they joined
Speaker 1: TikTok He posted a video on Super Bowl Sunday answering
Speaker 1: questions that included which team he was rooting for and
Speaker 1: which candidate he supports for president, which feels like they
Speaker 1: were trying to like fuck him up. His grant kids
Speaker 1: were trying to like confuse him. But the video was
Speaker 1: posted along with the message lowell, hey guys, which is
Speaker 1: just completely impossible to imagine.
Speaker 3: Joe Biden ever say, do you think that there was
Speaker 3: an unused take on that who are you going to
Speaker 3: vote for? President Biden and Trump question re said.
Speaker 2: Trump fuck guys this guy. Yeah, it's a I think
Speaker 2: it's really funny.
Speaker 3: How like, I feel like the Biden campaign has gone
Speaker 3: through the process of I think every stand up comedian
Speaker 3: of like, oh, I'm not going to start a TikTok.
Speaker 3: TikTok's dumb, and then after a couple of years, maybe
Speaker 3: I will start a TikTok.
Speaker 1: Yes, Like he for years has been repeatedly stating he
Speaker 1: would not be joining TikTok during the campaign, which is
Speaker 1: just like such a funny statement to make in the
Speaker 1: first place, that like he felt the need to be like, no, guys,
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. I'm not gonna start. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to join TikTok.
Speaker 2: I know what body's waiting for. Okay, we I'd.
Speaker 1: Never that thought never crossed my mind.
Speaker 3: Oh god, but yeah, I gotta say, uh, one of
Speaker 3: my favorite TikTok formats is just stuff getting smashed. Like
Speaker 3: there's this video of like two toilets hanging from ropes
Speaker 3: swung at each other like pendulums and they hit each
Speaker 3: other explode. If the Biden can't big leaned into that
Speaker 3: type of TikTok idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean just on the like things from
Speaker 1: the White House getting like which one's going to survive.
Speaker 3: It's like the Lincoln desk and the statue of Andrew Jackson.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to imagine you got has to be
Speaker 1: pissed about this happening because this is like.
Speaker 2: They're they're cool thing that's ever their app is done.
Speaker 2: Like this is just the now We're just counted down
Speaker 2: the days to when TikTok is over right. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It also doesn't help that if you watch the video,
Speaker 3: it looks like Joe Biden's in a hospital waiting room.
Speaker 2: It really does. Where the fuck is he?
Speaker 1: That's a really good point, Like the art on the
Speaker 1: walls is in the.
Speaker 2: Last in the waiting.
Speaker 1: Room of the last hospital. Is that, like gets straight
Speaker 1: up is a hospital waiting room? He's wearing old guy khakis.
Speaker 2: Do you know what I I would actually bet it is,
Speaker 2: which probably has the same decorps as a hospital waiting room.
Speaker 2: Is like a boomer internet consultancy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I think that's I think that that's that
Speaker 3: to me is a little bit of the issue with
Speaker 3: like I totally get you know, Biden starting a TikTok. Yeah,
Speaker 3: there's you know, huge zoomer audience there, Like it makes sense.
Speaker 3: But I think that this really feels like a TikTok
Speaker 3: that was like pitched by a twenty year old to
Speaker 3: like a boomer social media executive, and like they tried
Speaker 3: to kind of meet in the middle, and it just
Speaker 3: like it just feels like this weird TikTok uncanny valley.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Having him show up with the words well, hey
Speaker 2: guys is so funny to me for some reason.
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's like, no, is that him talking him being like, well,
Speaker 1: hey guys, I'm so random?
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I'm so random? Blurg. Also, I mean, like,
Speaker 2: are you're really going to sign on to the fucking
Speaker 2: social media network that's mostly right now known for calling
Speaker 2: you a war per Middle I think you gave up
Speaker 2: on the zoomer vote a while ago, dog, and yeah,
Speaker 2: this is not going to bridge that gap. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately he doesn't seem to be all that red in
Speaker 1: on the war criminal stuff, because he did following the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl drop that meme that Dank Brandon dark branded
Speaker 1: meme on our ass where he was like just like
Speaker 1: we drew it up with a picture of him, you know,
Speaker 1: dark Brandon eyes glowing. And unfortunately it was also after
Speaker 1: Israeli airstrikes reportedly targeting houses and mosques killed dozens of people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like, wow, real dark dark Brandon.
Speaker 2: Yeah that so yeah, No, I mean it's just perfect time.
Speaker 2: We didn't have to drag this into podcasts at least
Speaker 2: a fun topic.
Speaker 1: I know, but it's it is just wild, like this
Speaker 1: attempt to join in the fun, like make his campaign
Speaker 1: fun at this time. Like it's just I don't think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be as easy as they're hoping.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's so much of what does well
Speaker 3: on social media. It's just like, you know, you need
Speaker 3: to be genuine, you need to feel like you're real
Speaker 3: in some way, and it feels like the Biden campaign
Speaker 3: isn't this weird kind of trying to have their key
Speaker 3: and eat it too middle ground where they're trying to
Speaker 3: kind of memify and freshen up Biden, But when it
Speaker 3: gets down to it, he's still an eighty two year
Speaker 3: old politician. Sure, And you know, it just comes across
Speaker 3: as very like, hey, look, everybody, Grandpa's rapping.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, you know, it would genuinely be a thousand
Speaker 2: times better if he was just rapping.
Speaker 3: Just dude, I'm the president and I'm here to say yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean so in twenty twenty, the campaign, some say
Speaker 1: sweatily campaigned and animal crossing and through celebrities on cameo. Uh,
Speaker 1: and people are comparing that to this. I'm just going
Speaker 1: to say, twenty twenty, let me think who won that election?
Speaker 2: Who won that election? Yeah, that's right, he.
Speaker 1: Won yet animals crossing save from four more years of Trump.
Speaker 2: Yah, I'm sorry, you're the character of Jack O'Brien says
Speaker 2: Trump won that election.
Speaker 3: Oh ship, that's right, yeah yeah yeah, you said yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: When you said Biden won the election, you were definitely
Speaker 3: doing the jack off, like yeah, quote oh yeah, won
Speaker 3: the election.
Speaker 1: Every by the way, every time I say President Biden,
Speaker 1: I think the jack Off ham Mosher motion is implied
Speaker 1: the president.
Speaker 2: But that's that's where me and the let's go Brandon
Speaker 2: people really intersect. It's like, yeah, I also think that
Speaker 2: for the opposite reasons. But I do think that.
Speaker 3: That is also so funny to me that like let's
Speaker 3: go Brandon was you know, I feel like treated as
Speaker 3: this like epic liberal dunk when it's like, I also
Speaker 3: think Joe Biden's not.
Speaker 2: Great, right. Yeah. Also, there was a song that played
Speaker 2: on the radio called fuck Donald Trump. So take this
Speaker 2: Ned Flanders bullshit yeah my face, Like right, yeah, what
Speaker 2: are you talking about? That's your old good one guys.
Speaker 1: Let's go on random And it's like actually a reference
Speaker 1: to someone saying fuck Biden.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so you're you're okay with cursing in public? Cool? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean there's also people are pointing out there's a
Speaker 1: whole question of like the US government is really politicizing
Speaker 1: TikTok and like the like whether it should be allowed
Speaker 1: and whether it's a security risk, and he like straight
Speaker 1: up banned most federal government devices from using TikTok. In
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two due to bipartisan security concerns.
Speaker 2: So do you do you think the Biden account passed
Speaker 2: is the same as like his Skiff password, Like he
Speaker 2: the band can only memorize so many passwords. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: just think there's a high chance it's just Joe Biden
Speaker 2: in all lowercase.
Speaker 1: But nobody would ever think to put it all lowercase jack. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, like to security around his I guess
Speaker 1: I would say it would be a nightmare if he
Speaker 1: actually used technology himself. But yeah, the thing that his
Speaker 1: administration is saying is that actually this is like we
Speaker 1: use a device that is only for posting on Joe
Speaker 1: Biden's TikTok.
Speaker 2: So we're good here. Yeah, that's locked in like a
Speaker 2: glass case, the sandbox, firewalled TikTok presidential TikTok machine.
Speaker 3: Back to the John Stewart Daily Show thing. Something that
Speaker 3: I do appreciate about what he was saying is like
Speaker 3: he was basically saying, you know exactly you brought it
Speaker 3: up earlier of like, oh, if he's really energetic in
Speaker 3: meeting show us that like he's giving advice to the
Speaker 3: Biden campaign.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's like that feels like good.
Speaker 3: You know, it's like both presidential candidates are old as fuck, Like,
Speaker 3: you know, I totally get it. But it's like, at least,
Speaker 3: let's pretend that they're like still active, you know, like
Speaker 3: that's your I feel like that's your job is like
Speaker 3: you know, a PR person or a press person or
Speaker 3: you know, a media person or whatever, is to like
Speaker 3: at least make the messaging help football so that I
Speaker 3: don't have to pretend that he's.
Speaker 2: Well with it. Yes, I go. The other side of this, though,
Speaker 2: is like, you know, we lived through puppet Ronald Reagan
Speaker 2: dementia in office. We just go full warhammer forty K
Speaker 2: with this stuff, and either of these two guys, we
Speaker 2: just acknowledge that it's a cadre of advisors and you
Speaker 2: know whatever who's doing stuff, and we just put them
Speaker 2: on a fucking golden throne when they win. Display. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that'd be fun. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Make sure they eat some slim gyms so they're well preserved.
Speaker 2: Yeah they die, yeah, crackling with psychic energy.
Speaker 3: Yeah when you when you become president, you're just America's
Speaker 3: trophy for four years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, you should be put inside of
Speaker 2: the Lincoln Monument. Wait on that.
Speaker 3: Giant, big stone chair.
Speaker 2: No, no, inside of it, Like you're sitting in the
Speaker 2: same way, but you're just sort of like each each
Speaker 2: one is one layer smaller inside. Yeah, like like snoke,
Speaker 2: like a nesting doll. But presidents. Oh yeah, I guess
Speaker 2: that the Lincoln Monument is a mech. We not. It's
Speaker 2: not a mech.
Speaker 3: I thought you were proposing that once you stop being president,
Speaker 3: they have to hollow you out and put the new
Speaker 3: president inside.
Speaker 1: Oh, you just have to elect smaller and smaller each time.
Speaker 2: It's not the end of the world if we do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just saying, yeah. I do think a big
Speaker 1: part of our problem is that the thing you're describing
Speaker 1: is basically the monarchy in the UK, and they realized
Speaker 1: a long time ago that monarchs shouldn't have power, and
Speaker 1: like that is just like you go sit somewhere on
Speaker 1: a fancy chair and everyone is just like, oh, she's
Speaker 1: taking the dogs for a walk today, how nice. And
Speaker 1: then they're like unglamorous people nobody really gives a shit
Speaker 1: about who are actually being hired and fired from the
Speaker 1: job of, you know, running the country. And in America
Speaker 1: it's still the same fucking person like that all the
Speaker 1: all the royalty and all the shit giving is tied
Speaker 1: up with the same person who actually is supposed to
Speaker 1: have the job, and that's unhealthy, I would argue.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's we're all bad at word. We're living
Speaker 2: through it. We're living through these people, Taylor Swift and
Speaker 2: Travis Kelsey are and lovething's great. Yes, thank you.
Speaker 1: I don't see what everybody's complaining about Travis and Taylor.
Speaker 1: Congratulations to everyone on living through it. It's a bad
Speaker 1: it's bad, bad, it's bad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, like I do feel like everybody should
Speaker 4: just acknowledge end of day, Hey, we made it through
Speaker 4: another one, fucking like the way you do, and like
Speaker 4: you know, recovery programs.
Speaker 1: We're like day at a time. This ship was hard.
Speaker 2: Oh you know, I thought you were talking about like
Speaker 2: being in like trench warfare. Yeah, well that too, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's the same vibe, I guess. So we're still talking
Speaker 2: about Taylor Swift, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, talking about how I get through the period like
Speaker 1: after she announces a new album and before the album
Speaker 1: actually drops. Yeah, it's just like, well, I'm supposed to
Speaker 1: just get out of bed and act like this is
Speaker 1: a normal day. Sure, ridiculous, fucking ridiculous, and Drew, all right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a quick break and we'll come back
Speaker 1: and talk about important things like Madam Webb will be
Speaker 1: right back, and we're back. And so the big movie
Speaker 1: released this coming weekend after this past weekend, as we
Speaker 1: talked about on trending yesterday, nobody went to the movies,
Speaker 1: like it's the lowest movie total, like in terms of
Speaker 1: like money spend in the movies since the eighties.
Speaker 3: Ar Gyle is number one at the box number one
Speaker 3: with number one baby.
Speaker 1: Sixty million, and its second week is like wild, how
Speaker 1: people went to the movies.
Speaker 3: Number one is a number one thank you? Yeah, crushing it,
Speaker 3: biggest movie in America.
Speaker 2: Thank you?
Speaker 1: And God, who can I didn't even like the whole
Speaker 1: trailer was based around and you'll never believe this twist.
Speaker 2: This twist is gonna fuck you up.
Speaker 1: And then the movie came out and like people didn't
Speaker 1: even bother spoiling it, like like I don't even people
Speaker 1: were just like no, you don't, don't, don't even worry
Speaker 1: about Like I didn't.
Speaker 2: Realize apparently it had been spoiled, like initially because the
Speaker 2: initial script is I think not there's it's not a twist,
Speaker 2: It's it's more like, I guess spoiler alert, it's like
Speaker 2: born identity ish like or born born.
Speaker 1: Oh so she is, oh so she actually yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I star.
Speaker 3: Actually well, A certain number of the audience cared about
Speaker 3: this twist because it's number one each.
Speaker 2: Shit losers, it's number one. This is I guess more
Speaker 2: for you, Joey. But I genuinely assumed from the trailer
Speaker 2: that the cat was the secret agent. Yeah, so like
Speaker 2: that was in percent, was like, it's definitely the cat.
Speaker 2: It is definitely a topping cat. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I feel like I have not seen our gyle. I'm
Speaker 3: sorry I was not one of the millions of people
Speaker 3: that saw it this weekend to make it number one.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I gotta say I as a big cat fan.
Speaker 3: The cat did intrigue me to potentially want.
Speaker 2: To see it. But uh, I don't know, I just
Speaker 2: I just didn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, I literally I'll go fuck myself.
Speaker 2: You know. I would have put money, unbelievable amounts of
Speaker 2: money that it was the cat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because the cat felt like it was really central
Speaker 3: to the promotions. I mean, I think that what is
Speaker 3: one of the things. That's so interesting to me about
Speaker 3: Argyle is it really feels like that what was that
Speaker 3: Johnny Depp movie, like Mordecai or something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the mustache.
Speaker 3: Yeah, where it kind of felt like the entire the
Speaker 3: the crux of the promotion of this movie is look
Speaker 3: at all the celebrities we got. Yes, oh sure, and
Speaker 3: it kind of us like Johnny Depp and a mustache.
Speaker 3: That's enough for you, right, you know it was it
Speaker 3: was like it was like a thirty rock movie. It
Speaker 3: was like a general You're like, huh oh, this is real. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so Matt Webb has similar and yeah, general energy. The
Speaker 3: trailer has the line where one character sees it like
Speaker 3: is shown another character and she's like, he was in
Speaker 3: the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders
Speaker 3: right before she died. An actor has to say that
Speaker 3: that was for sure an exect note.
Speaker 2: I'm sure like yeah, yeah, I will just say I'm
Speaker 2: currently writing an incredibly bad draft of a movie and
Speaker 2: I have multiple characters saying dialogue like that. That is
Speaker 2: just like I don't know, I just needn't get this information.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's that feels Yeah, that feels like a line
Speaker 3: that an exec was like, was like, I just don't
Speaker 3: understand why she's in there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but where was she died of? What? Like, but
Speaker 2: what was she doing there? Just got it?
Speaker 1: Got it, get it through. And not only do you
Speaker 1: have to like get that information through, but you have
Speaker 1: to put it in the trailer. Like the amount of
Speaker 1: ground that they try to cover for the plot of
Speaker 1: this movie in the trailer is wild. I like, I
Speaker 1: feel like this must be one of the hardest movies
Speaker 1: to ever make a trailer for, because the trailer is
Speaker 1: like they're like, and she can see the future, and
Speaker 1: so can they, and like but she this guy can
Speaker 1: kind of also see the future and so but it's
Speaker 1: it's a real mess. And I've seen the like they
Speaker 1: really put like this trailer in front of us a
Speaker 1: lot us being me and my eyes. But anyways, so
Speaker 1: people were kind of looking forward to this just from
Speaker 1: maybe it can't be perspective. And the critics are not
Speaker 1: being nice. They're being mean. They're calling it the Cats
Speaker 1: of superhero movies.
Speaker 3: I gotta says, as a genuine Cat's apologist who love
Speaker 3: to the Cats movie, this makes me want to see
Speaker 3: the movie here, I'm out here for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Madam Webb isn't as bad as you've heard. It's
Speaker 1: so much worse, is the response? Is the headline from
Speaker 1: Rolling Stone and who also called it the Cats of
Speaker 1: superhero movies? Is Spider Man spin off Madam Web bad? Listen, Bud.
Speaker 1: It's just radioactive crud. I don't know why they did that.
Speaker 1: That's the Globe of Mail. But it has a eighteen
Speaker 1: percent of run tomatoes.
Speaker 3: So uh, box office question, for all the box office
Speaker 3: hounds that are listening, do we think Madam Webb is
Speaker 3: going to be able to topple our Gyle?
Speaker 1: I think it would be really difficult for it not
Speaker 1: to tar popple our Gyle because our Gyle was like
Speaker 1: the lowest number one I think we've had in decades.
Speaker 3: But it's still number one, still number one.
Speaker 2: He's like Sody, Spider Man adjacent movies like, yes, always
Speaker 2: do a billion times better that I think they're gonna do.
Speaker 2: Like are you talking trending this morning? But all all
Speaker 2: the venoms? Yeah, I guess it's the ves the venoms.
Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, someone wants to watch them, so uh.
Speaker 3: Something that I really love about the kind of the
Speaker 3: Sony Spider verse, you know, like I was a really
Speaker 3: big fan of the across the Spider Verse film. They're
Speaker 3: they're genuinely like great animated films, and but but it
Speaker 3: feels like there's always this effort and I'm sure it's
Speaker 3: like a Sony note to just like cram their bad
Speaker 3: Spider Verse movie Spider Man movies into Spider Verse. So
Speaker 3: it's like we'll probably see some weird cameo from Madam
Speaker 3: Webb as if she's like, you know, Captain America showing
Speaker 3: up the MCU in the next Spider Verse movie.
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, it really is like amazing how all these
Speaker 2: movies get curb stomped by their cartoons. Yeah, just like
Speaker 2: every time. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So the reviews are so bad that Morbius was trending
Speaker 1: on Twitter, a reference to Sony's last attempt to spin
Speaker 1: Spider Man and Jason characters off into their own like
Speaker 1: non Spider Man movie. Morbius was the third entry in
Speaker 1: Sony Spider Man Universe and quickly became one of the
Speaker 1: most infamous films of twenty twenty two due to quote
Speaker 1: it's terrible quality. But people are saying because I think
Speaker 1: the inherent question like this wasn't my question with Morbius
Speaker 1: because I didn't. I thought Morbius was part of the
Speaker 1: that monster you like, the universal like.
Speaker 2: Dark.
Speaker 1: Yes, I didn't know it, but Dracula exactly. That's what
Speaker 1: I thought was going on. But apparently you know that
Speaker 1: this is part of Sony's ploy that they basically have
Speaker 1: to make a movie in the Spider Man universe. They
Speaker 1: can't make it feature Spider Man, and they have to
Speaker 1: do it every like two and a half for three
Speaker 1: years in order to keep the rights to the Spider
Speaker 1: Man universe. So it's like the inherent yeah, ridiculousness of
Speaker 1: the premise of like what they have to do is
Speaker 1: at the core of like what it sounds like sucks
Speaker 1: about this movie.
Speaker 2: It's the same thing that happens with like Fantastic Four
Speaker 2: and previously X Men. It's just this like like cynical
Speaker 2: ip like holding thing. Yes, and the fact that they
Speaker 2: call they conned fucking Sydney Sweetey and Jak to Johnson
Speaker 2: in doing this, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 3: And yeah, but I feel like if you pitched to them,
Speaker 3: like you know, hey, it's like it's like Spider Man
Speaker 3: except with more powers. And also it's in the Spider
Speaker 3: Man universe, Like I totally get why you'd say yes
Speaker 3: to it, but yeah, it is so funny that like
Speaker 3: they it's just like they're cursed to churn out a
Speaker 3: new weird Spider Man Universe adjacent movie every three years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, because the trailer looks like a fucking
Speaker 2: like Netflix thriller and then it ends on like they're
Speaker 2: all in Spider people costume and it's like, what the
Speaker 2: fuck is happening here? It's so it's.
Speaker 1: I guess now I understand why they have the line.
Speaker 1: He was in the Amazon with my mom when she
Speaker 1: was researching spiders andrew right before she died. Spiders give
Speaker 1: them their powers and.
Speaker 2: Then they're they're like, but Spider Man isn't a round,
Speaker 2: so they're just gonna have to be like, what are
Speaker 2: you and isn't around yet? I just dressed like this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just how I And did Spider Man get
Speaker 1: the idea for his costume from them? Or are they
Speaker 1: getting it from Spider Man? But they just like can't
Speaker 1: say that, and so they.
Speaker 2: I hope they're in the style. They're all Spider Man's mommy,
Speaker 2: and oh that's how it's gonna go. I just wanted
Speaker 2: to see a little top Holland, crawl out of an eggsack,
Speaker 2: crawl out an eggsack, and then uh suck the juices
Speaker 2: out of a fly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh the life full all right, Well, Joey, it

Speaker 3: So it doesn't lose to Madam Webb this weekend. It
Speaker 3: needs to keep its.
Speaker 1: Number one much money on this it wouldn't take much.
Speaker 2: Amazing. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying.
Speaker 3: So honestly, I've I've gotten really into the band Necho
Speaker 3: Case recently. She's like a singer songwriter who's really popular
Speaker 3: in sort of the nineties and the two thousands, and
Speaker 3: it's Nico Case. Okay, so that'll show you how new
Speaker 3: I am to being in Nico Case.
Speaker 2: N Well, I'm just very old.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but yeah, she just like came across to
Speaker 3: my Spotify shuffle and I was just like, wait, Nico
Speaker 3: Case is real good.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think I've just been enjoying Nico Case recently.
Speaker 1: God, she has this one album that I'm not It's
Speaker 1: like The Fox Confessor some shit. It's like got a
Speaker 1: real nineties indie rock name the fucking Rules Fox Confessor
Speaker 1: Brings the Flood, is right, Yeah, but I'm thinking of
Speaker 1: the highly highly recommend that ship.
Speaker 2: That's great. There's like all this reverb all over vocals.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: Second piece of media I've been enjoying is you know
Speaker 3: Joe Biden's TikTok. He's been funny on there lately. He's
Speaker 3: got a real good joke about the Chiefs yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh man, he fucking loves Nico Case. He probably does. Uh,
Speaker 2: andrew T what a pleasure as our guest co host today?
Speaker 2: Where can people find you? Yeah? Just find me? Yo?
Speaker 2: Is this racist? Is my podcast? And I don't know.
Speaker 2: Eventually something I write will be on TV again, I assume,
Speaker 2: but I don't know. Watch watched all episodes of Mixed Dish?
Speaker 2: Those are those are the classics? Yeah? Exactly? Is there
Speaker 2: a work media you've been enjoying? I actually was just
Speaker 2: reminded I was gonna do something else, but I let
Speaker 2: my friends' kids, who are like, I think, like nine,
Speaker 2: like five, nine and eleven, never forget, and they they
Speaker 2: use I let to use my Spotify because they were
Speaker 2: just like, like over, I think we're all having dinner.
Speaker 2: And the kids obviously got bored real quick anyway, which
Speaker 2: is all to say, they have like fucking annihilated my algorithm.
Speaker 2: So the piece of media in a good way. I like,
Speaker 2: I like just having something make Spotify think like, this
Speaker 2: guy's out of control. But they they sided onto a
Speaker 2: Spotify playlist called Big on the Internet, which is actually
Speaker 2: invaluable for an old man like me because what it
Speaker 2: is is it's all the like source music for TikTok essentially, Yeah, amazing,
Speaker 2: this is unbelievably useful. I guess it's listed on the TikTok,
Speaker 2: but it's I don't know, I feel like that's not
Speaker 2: as reliable. But yeah, I just listen to this like
Speaker 2: fucking eighteen hour long list when I have nothing else
Speaker 2: I actually want to listen to. And I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: that's okay, that's that, you know, four seconds of great.
Speaker 1: For finding songs with amazingly listenable five second chunks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, five second chunks or or five second chunks that
Speaker 2: are like very descriptive and able to be pantomimed. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's the TikTok sweet spot. I think. Anyway, that is great.
Speaker 2: That has been the single most actually useful piece of
Speaker 2: media that I had.
Speaker 3: Wait, I okay, so I've got a question. Would both
Speaker 3: of you vote for Joe Biden if you did a
Speaker 3: TikTok where we did Fortnite Dances?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I mean I'm gonna fucking vote for him
Speaker 2: because I will say that I'm not there.
Speaker 3: What would you be more likely to vote for him
Speaker 3: if you did TikTok Fortnite Dances?
Speaker 2: I'll just throw this out there. We're all in California.
Speaker 2: You don't have to vote for Joe Biden. That's right.
Speaker 2: I think I'm probably not going to vote for anyone
Speaker 2: for president wow in California. I'm not suggesting you do that.
Speaker 2: Where you're president. I'll also probably vote for him.
Speaker 1: But but pending Tictak dances, he did a little silly dances,
Speaker 1: a few silly dances, making me a little more excited.
Speaker 2: That's right. If they just made a Trump campaign, just
Speaker 2: made it an account of him trying to do any
Speaker 2: of the.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be like Trump wouldn't be willing to
Speaker 1: do it because like you can't. Yeah, nobody can tell him.
Speaker 3: Ship at this the first candidate the posts the video
Speaker 3: of them smashing two toilets together until the explode. Will
Speaker 3: keep my vote?
Speaker 1: Oh shit, you're gonna vote for Trump man right the
Speaker 1: up his Alley's.
