1
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: My question is I haven't found an adequate answer. So

2
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: Trump's doing a lot of stuff, signing a lot of papers.

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: What was stopping Biden from doing? Just this is my

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: question ramming stuff through?

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: Right, this is my question.

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's a combination of like weakness and

7
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 3: he doesn't actually want good stuff to happen.

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 4: Well, he had the power to do plenty of stuff

10
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 4: and he just didn't do it.

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he really was putting it out there like

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: his fucking hands are tight. I'm like, well, I mean

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: you could just sign a bunch of papers like this

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: dude is doing and let the courts sort it out.

15
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 4: Yeah. His assertion would be if I do this, then

16
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 4: we'll do that. Yeah.

17
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: But it's it was like dumb on his face. Yeah,

18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: it's just the whole we go they go low, we

19
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: go high. Yeah, miss Yeah, they're just like that is

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: their entire philosophy.

21
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 4: It's very frustrating where it's just.

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: Like I thought the couldn't do shit. It's just why

23
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: was he always throwing his hands? Yeah, that's it goes

24
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 2: back to my theory that he just had a profound

25
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: futility fetish Biden where like he he passes bills that

26
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 2: then get shot down and then goes home and like

27
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: Jack's off to that feeling somehow like that's that's what

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: he's in it. Well, that's good stuff.

29
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,639
Speaker 4: Just justice theater.

30
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that the results for Democrats speak

31
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 3: for themselves is they don't actually want they want this also, yeah,

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 3: or they don't mind some of the bad stuff and

33
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: they like all the financial.

34
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: Stuff, right yeah. So someone there's a tweet that was

35
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: like I get to choose between the klu Klux Klan

36
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: and Lockheed Martin every four years until the asteroid hits,

37
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: and that does like what it is. I there is

38
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: an aspect of the psychology of like, you know, being

39
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 2: raised Catholic, Like I think like mel Gibson and Joe

40
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: Biden both have this thing where like there's some honor

41
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: and it's it's in. It's in like the Rocky movies too,

42
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: where it's like the thing that is cool is like

43
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: getting the ship kicked out of you, like that is

44
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: somehow the honorable thing I was raised with that I like,

45
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: you know, like Karate Kid is also this way. These

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: stories were like how many times you get exactly and

47
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: that to no effect, for no purpose, like I really

48
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 2: like Rocky.

49
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 4: You know they count the knot down in that's against you.

50
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: Man, you're losing so bad on points like you're getting

51
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: also like smoked, you then do have to wear it

52
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 2: is it's a little thing, exactly.

53
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 4: It's the number of times you get back off and

54
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 4: then and.

55
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: Then went yes exactly. But they have a loser mentality

56
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: that is uh like hurting people. I just think he

57
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: really like has that, like he thinks there's honor in

58
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 2: doing what he perceives as the right honorable thing and

59
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: fucking losing badly and being like, but I remember a

60
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: time when I could have, you know, grab steak and

61
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: eggs with Strom Thurman, and it's just like, well that's what, Yeah,

62
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: that's on you for you shouldn't have done that.

63
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 4: Liver and onions.

64
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, well Strom had liver and onions. Joe. Joe was

65
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: always the steak and eggs, carried it in his lunch

66
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: pail on the fucking train. It was cold by the

67
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: time it got there. Yeah, I don't know. I I

68
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: truly think there's like something I keep talking about his

69
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: futility fetish, and I I think like there's something to it,

70
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: like legit that there's like something about getting the ship

71
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: beat out of you, and like the way that some

72
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: versions of Catholicism like interpret, uh, you know the story

73
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: of Jesus that like really fetishizes that.

74
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it was bad to worship a guy who

75
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: got his ass completely handed to him.

76
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, there are different parts that you

77
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: can focus on. But if your main focus is the

78
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: getting your ass handed to him, and you make a

79
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: movie that is two hours of him just getting whipped

80
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: brutally and like that is the meaning of his life

81
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: for you as far as you're concerned, then yeah, it's

82
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: gonna send you down some weird paths.

83
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, because people.

84
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: Really do focus on the torture aspect instead of like

85
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: the cool stuff like like.

86
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 4: The wine thing water taking.

87
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 5: The end of his life, like if the yeah, philosophy

88
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 5: is a foot.

89
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: Until you shoot the moon via divine magic, Like yeah,

90
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: where where does the bad ship?

91
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: Because we talking about crypto now, Brian, We're always talking

92
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 2: about crypto. Hello the Internet and welcome to this week

Speaker 2: We did get a little rain. Uh, that's my underrate

104
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: it is we needed it so bad, didn't and we

105
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 2: needed it.

106
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 3: I guess we're gonna We're just our city government is

107
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 3: simply not gonna tell us how much toxic sludge the

108
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: rain generated.

109
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 4: A toxic sludges. Yeah, how toxic is it? It can't

110
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 4: be good.

111
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. The the air is so clear now, which is

112
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: so very very nice after you know, the wildfires to

113
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: to be able to like see hills and you know,

114
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: plant things that were you know, you you had to

115
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 2: squinch to even know we're there for a while now.

116
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: But that does beg the question where'd all that stuff go?

117
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 2: Those in the air before? And it's on the ground

118
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: and on the ground and the water. Yeah, so I

119
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: guess it's like it's just fucked up. Best case scenario

120
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: where in the water. Best case scenario means in the ocean, yeah,

121
00:06:58,760 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: that's right.

122
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 4: Probably, yeah, yeah, I guess.

123
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: All right, Andrew, this is the episode where we tell

124
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: people what was trending over the weekend. But first we

125
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: let them get to know us a little bit better

126
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: by telling them something we think is overrated, something we

127
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: think is underrated. Why don't I start us off with

128
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: something I think is overrated. I just heard that. I

129
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: hadn't heard this in a while, but I heard somebody

130
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: say it's best thing since sliced bread this morning, and

131
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: in the context of our recent discussion on processed food, Yeah,

132
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: that one hits different. I'm gonna say, because I don't know,

133
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: it's it's just the go to, you know, exhibit for

134
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: greatest invention? Why did people not have?

135
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: Not?

136
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: I have so many knives now, not to brag, but

137
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: like I got sore. I can. I can slice the

138
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: fuck out of bread, and you know, I try to

139
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: buy loaves of bread that yeah, like the whole ass

140
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: loaves of bread like a fucking g And I don't know, like,

141
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: so the efficiency not it's not that much more efficient.

142
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: My number of knives I have my knife drawers overwhelming.

143
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: In many cases, the only way it's scientifically possible to

144
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: have sliced bread that's not like hardened into a series

145
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: of like monoliths, is with loads of ultra processed I was.

146
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: Gonna say that that is probably the the actual innovation

147
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 3: of slice bread has to be like preservatives.

148
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, they didn't. It's not just somebody thought of

149
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: cutting the bread. It's like somebody invented a chemical that

150
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: you could put on the bread to make it. Yeah,

151
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: it's like being like the best best invention since pre

152
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: rolled cigarettes started taking us to flavor town. All right,

153
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: I mean I.

154
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: Get if you don't have the preservatives, you get a

155
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 3: feastables just mold all the way up and down.

156
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 4: That's right, Dale is the best case scenario, right exactly.

157
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I I do love a nice

158
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: whole loaf of bread, take it home, put it in

159
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: a a big bag, and uh it usually stays push

160
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: for like a few days.

161
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 4: This is crazy.

162
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 3: My my overrated is eating healthy because I bought myself

163
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: a loaf of wonderbread this last week. Can I just

164
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 3: tell you, as a grown ass man who is mostly

165
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: spent his recent year and a.

166
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 4: Half try to eat well, wonderbread is so good.

167
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: It's so fucking good. It's incredible. It's so wild. Yeah,

168
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 2: I was, I was talking you. I tried. I had

169
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 2: a crustable for the first time the other day, and

170
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 2: it's basically like wonderbread turned into a hot pocket.

171
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 3: Crustaball is It's like a peanut butter jelly inside.

172
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 4: Of of like a white bread, a white.

173
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: Bread like strudle, you know, like maybe yeah, just a

174
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: giant white wonder bread ravioli. And I was like, holy shit,

175
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: this is The texture of the bread is so pillowy.

176
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, I guess it's just like white

177
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 3: people bow or like right, yeah, because it's that it's

178
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: all the stuff.

179
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 4: It's like bleached flour.

180
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 3: It's a little sweet or a lot sweet in case

181
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 3: of across the balls, and it's just like a like

182
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: a thing you can kind of hold your hand.

183
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 4: That is like, oh my god. Can I just say

184
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 4: I did.

185
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 3: Probably see this on a cooking YouTube somewhere, but my

186
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 3: pro tip for making a sandwich with wonderbread.

187
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 4: You can't toast in the toaster. I mean you can't.

188
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 3: You can't do this by toasting the toaster, but use

189
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 3: a skillet to toast only one side of.

190
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: It, Okay, just one side in butter or you're just

191
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 2: like putting it raw. I was.

192
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 3: I was not like wiping out my cast iron super efficiently.

193
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 3: So there was kind of just the residual seasoning of

194
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 3: whatever the fuck, but I didn't add extra fat. But

195
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 3: basically having one crispy side of the bread and one

196
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 3: like wonderful hilloy side, so fucking good, My god, crust

197
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,359
Speaker 3: goes out, which so like it's basically like goes inside

198
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 3: crusty side goes inside crusty. You use that as the

199
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 3: basis for like your mayonnaise or your you know, mustards

200
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: or whatever normal sandwich, and then so outside you get

201
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 3: like super super pillowy. But then when your teeth go in,

202
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 3: you find a crunch in the middle.

203
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: Well, people probably didn't know they were getting one of

204
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: like a point counterpoint crossfire style show today. But my

205
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: overrated as sliced bread, you're underrated is wonderbread. Yeah yeah,

206
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: and we solved it. I think I think you're right

207
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: and I'm wrong. But maybe I just feel like we

208
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 2: need a better like exhibit A for great innovations. Yeah yeah, yeah.

209
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's more your point.

210
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 3: Also silly to I mean, look, it's gonna be the

211
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 3: great innovation is gonna be once again the polio vaccine

212
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 3: in about fucking five years. The once we have a

213
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 3: generation of children fucking nimed by polio, we're gonna want

214
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: the vaccine again allegedly.

215
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.

216
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 2: We'll see he's getting confirmed or I don't know, maybe not,

217
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 2: he's getting examined. Uh yeah, you know he's got his

218
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: confirmation hearing this week. RFK. We'll see how that goes.

219
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: As we talked about last time with Pete Hegseth, where

220
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 2: everyone was like this guy's there's got no chance. It's

221
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: like literally almost everybody makes it through. Like everybody gets through.

222
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 3: It's I mean, it's this this is sort of baked

223
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 3: into the election, like like it's it's gonna happen. It

224
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 3: doesn't really matter. I mean it does, but it doesn't

225
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 3: matter more than what already happened. I guess, like it's

226
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,479
Speaker 3: it's just like like we're you know where we're finally

227
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 3: cashing in. You know, all the Supreme Court decisions for

228
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 3: the next like our lifetimes, they were determined like five

229
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 3: years ago, so it feels bad to watch them incoming.

230
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: But it's not time to fight. Time to fight will

231
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: have been a decade or more ago, and we lost

232
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 3: the fight.

233
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 2: We lost the fight.

234
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 4: We're losing. Yeah, it's a new fight.

235
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, America doesn't doesn't like to admit that, but yeah,

236
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: yeah what is Let's see, what's something you think is?

237
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: So you've given me you're underrated? Do you have something

238
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 2: you thinks overrated?

239
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I guess this is going to not sound well,

240
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: I'll just put it as classic movies. I know, overrated

241
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 3: even me as an old person. Yeah, I know, like whatever,

242
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 3: my attention span is as not obviously as cooked as

243
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 3: you're average gen zer. But it's not great. But yeah,

244
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 3: I don't like I think to me, the biggest example

245
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 3: is when I watch No, well no, I'm worried.

246
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 4: I said this on the show already.

247
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 3: But I watched Star Wars with some like, you know,

248
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 3: normal children, none of my friend's kids, and watching their

249
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 3: eyes glaze over at the pace of Star Wars, which

250
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 3: when I was growing up is not only to me,

251
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 3: was the most thrilling thing possible. When it came out,

252
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 3: people were like, this is the death of cinema. People

253
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 3: won't be able to like understand anything anymore. And like

254
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 3: Star Wars has multiple boardroom scenes like a New Hope.

255
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 2: Yes, somebody gets force choked in a couple of them, but.

256
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, sure, sure there is like an ending, but it

257
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 5: really mostly is fucking like fifteen hockeys sitting around a

258
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 5: long table arguing.

259
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: You're like, this is crazy, and next the kids are

260
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 2: going to want to see procedures.

261
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm just saying, like, obviously it would be

262
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 3: nicer if everyone was smarter. But I do think just

263
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 3: like our brains are processing everything differently and nothing is classic.

264
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, the I I talked about this a lot when

265
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: I was like, there's that thing, the Flynn effect, where

266
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: like you know, IQ studies are bullshit and you know,

267
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 2: not a good normative judgment or objective judgment of like

268
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 2: any anything of value. But I do think it's interesting

269
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: that they were like going up for decades and decades

270
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 2: just to cross like in every country, they were just

271
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: like going up and up and up. And I always

272
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: thought like there was something with how much more complicated

273
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: the field of information is that like people have to

274
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: deal with and like you can kind of see it

275
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: in old media when you like watch The Godfather, and

276
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: like they felt like they needed to show somebody walking

277
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 2: down a hallway to get to the room where they

278
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: were going for you to understand like how they got

279
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 2: there or something right, or like you watch old movie

280
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: trailers and they like have to tell you the whole story,

281
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: like just like hold your hands through it and just

282
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: be like, this is John McClain. He is the New

283
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 2: York cop who's having a bad day. Here he is

284
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: in California.

285
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 3: Every every movie trailer used to be the log line

286
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 3: or not the log line, the outline of the av

287
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 3: act one.

288
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, like fully everything until right.

289
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just had to hold your hand all the

290
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: way through it. I feel like there's yeah, like some

291
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: of the stuff that was treated as like schlock, Like

292
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: when I was young, people were like real worried about

293
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 2: MTV editing and like Michael Bay like having to cut

294
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 2: a thousand times per second. Yeah, and it's just like yeah,

295
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 2: but like that becomes a part of people's visual like

296
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 2: vocabulary and they have to they like learn to process

297
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: that really really quickly.

298
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

299
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: So it's just people are better at processing complicated information.

300
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 2: Now I don't know that it's done us much good,

301
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: but uh, well, before it's all tied in together, we're.

302
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 3: Better at perceiving lots of information of low complexity. We're

303
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 3: better at perceiving information in a complicated way, I would say,

304
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 3: and work the processing complicated stuff.

305
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: Definitely not better at getting to the truth in any way, yeah,

306
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 2: but better at reading what is there? I think, reading

307
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: someone's intent or something yeah, yeah, yeah, or like.

308
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 3: I got it, I got it, what's I got? Let's go,

309
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 3: what's the next thing. I mean, I don't think it's

310
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 3: like inherently bad. Maybe yeah, I don't think evidence the

311
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 3: evidence actually is that it is inherently bad in a

312
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 3: way that we can't perceive, right.

313
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like it's people being like, yeah, I get it,

314
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: And now let's move on to you telling me why

315
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 2: nine to eleven was an inside job because I need

316
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: like another hit of something, you know.

317
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 3: I guess it's just corruptible and everything has to become

318
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 3: a like like an not an argument from authority. But

319
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 3: just like when you have so many conflicting things, all

320
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 3: you can do is use like gravitas, not gravitas, but

321
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 3: trust ability or you know, something like the reason, yeah,

322
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 3: the reason Elon Musk has people who believe everything he

323
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 3: says is because he had a track record in one thing.

324
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 4: Whether that track record is fake, it's fake, but like,

325
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 4: it's it's.

326
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 3: Wild that, like I guess to me maybe because I

327
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 3: I like like to me, Joe Rogan is probably the

328
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 3: pinnacle of this because as a like, like I actually

329
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: like jiu jitsu, I like em man. Yeah, and he's

330
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 3: absolutely correct about those things and.

331
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: And their way.

332
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like it's so like it's frustrating watch watching

333
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 3: this guy who's like really good about whether or not

334
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 3: this is a good like you know, it's it's easy

335
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 3: to advance your your position in wrestling from here.

336
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

337
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 3: Watching that guy opine about science in general or like

338
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 3: how society should be structured is wild because I'm like, yeah,

339
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 3: he using the same tone of voice, you sound the same,

340
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 3: and you are right about thing A.

341
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 4: Sure you're so wrong about thing B.

342
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's like I think that is unfortunately we

343
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 3: just have to shorthand everything, and our algorithms are exploitable,

344
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 3: and they're being exploited.

345
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 2: And they're just pursuing the most interesting thing that they

346
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 2: can find in the moment, the thing that's light up

347
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 2: the brain, regardless of truth. And so that's yeah, he's

348
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: just sitting there just being like that's interesting, man. That's yeah,

349
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 2: because don't tell you about that.

350
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 5: I heard that's been proven, right, all right, hard turn

351
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 5: my underrated.

352
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: This is very very loose, very loosely researched. But so

353
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 2: my kid was asking about a camping trip that we

354
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 2: took from a couple of years ago where there were

355
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 2: like no real activities. Like the plan was like camp outside.

356
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 2: It was too cold, so we stayed in what looked

357
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 2: like just a random suburban house, but like it was

358
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 2: a big you know, it was a cub Scout troops,

359
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 2: so it was like a big group of people staying

360
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 2: in like tons of bunk beds, big common room, just

361
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 2: a bunch of people in a big house in not

362
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 2: even really the woods, but like just playing board games

363
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 2: and like making dinner together. And he brings this up.

364
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 2: We've gone camping since then, like on you know, with

365
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 2: like had like really cool proper camping experiences in nature,

366
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 2: and he like brings that one up repeatedly, and I

367
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 2: was like, that's weird that he's so into that one.

368
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 2: And I remember, so I was like thinking about when

369
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 2: I was a kid, like my eighth grade class did

370
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 2: a like end of year lock in where like everybody

371
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 2: like stayed at school like overnight, like everybody just had

372
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 2: like a big sleepover, Like we had church overnights. Like

373
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 2: the place I least wanted to be in the universe

374
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: was ever like church church stuff. But like these overnights

375
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 2: are like a you know, fun memory from when I

376
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 2: was a kids. And when you read like deep like

377
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 2: the big history books, they're like, yeah, that's actually the

378
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 2: natural way. Like we want to be around people. It's

379
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: not natural to just be like closed off in your

380
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:39,479
Speaker 2: nuclear family and you know, oh, you know, like being

381
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 2: in a big group with like big room with a

382
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 2: bunch of people, like making food together and like everybody's

383
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 2: just like kind of you know, sharing parenting and just

384
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 2: you know that I don't know. In addition to the

385
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: the children marve the commmar is the watch Midsommary. I

386
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 2: still but yeah, I'm saying that children crave the communes.

387
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: You're gonna love it. Yeah, it sounds it sounds like

388
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 2: it's right up my alley.

389
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 4: Just just have your kids watch it.

390
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 3: You got to stop it probably forty five minutes, but

391
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 3: you're gonna love the first part.

392
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I do need to watch that. It's on

393
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 2: my list. It's just every time it's time to watch it.

394
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 2: I'm like two and a half hours for really it's

395
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 2: it's it's a pleasant Yeah, well now I'm sold.

396
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 4: It's good.

397
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 2: It's just pretty like yeah, yeah, this is like the

398
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 2: fourth time somebody's brought up Midsommer to me in the

399
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 2: past couple of weeks. So this is but this is

400
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 2: my sign to watch it, mainly because I keep trying

401
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 2: to start a commune. So yeah, yeah, I think why

402
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 2: people are bringing.

403
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 3: I mean, it feels like you're you're like big, you're

404
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 3: great hall, great hall life.

405
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, longhouse, Let's let's get a long house that you want.

406
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, boy, you're gonna love the first thirty five minutes

407
00:22:58,440 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 3: of Midsummer.

408
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 2: This works, This is great. Yeah, so that's my underrated

409
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 2: is all right bretted movies.

410
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 3: Hey, listen, society is on a path where we might

411
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 3: not have a choice.

412
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: We're gonna need to find something else. That's it feels

413
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 2: like we're going to need to find something.

414
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 3: Find your community, find the people that will protect you,

415
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 3: and gather them into a big house.

416
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,719
Speaker 2: That might be where we're headed. All right, let's take

417
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 2: a quick break. We'll come back and we'll talk about

418
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 2: some news. And we're back and as we are recording this,

419
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 2: the stock market is having a bad day, and Andrew,

420
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 2: you hate to see that that's our number one.

421
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 4: Value tragically being lost.

422
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, in line with our overall theory that like every

423
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 2: time something good for people happens, like the stock market

424
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 2: goes down and when they're like we're actually firing half

425
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 2: the US workforce, Yeah, stock market goes up. It's like

426
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 2: a great inverse indicator of how like people's lives are.

427
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I think they're I guess there can probably

428
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 3: be edge cases or different ways. I mean, it's it's

429
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 3: a different economy.

430
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 4: And the globe is the globe.

431
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 3: But like that was the only thing that got Berlasconi

432
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 3: out as he finally tanked the Italian economy.

433
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 4: Like you could do all the other shit. I'm just saying.

434
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, in post twentieth century, it might be that the

435
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,239
Speaker 3: only way to get a fascist out of power is

436
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 3: to tech stockmarks of the people who are propping them up.

437
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

438
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 2: Maybe, I mean, people are so concerned about the price

439
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 2: of eggs, man, those are just getting worse. They're going

440
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 2: the direction of fucking Diama, Like they're yeah.

441
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 3: Just to fucking by the way, get it, get some

442
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 3: chickens full exactly.

443
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 2: That really feels like the choice that a lot of

444
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 2: people are gonna make. But of course then you'll kind

445
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 2: of be giving off communist vibes. You know, I'm just

446
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 2: gonn get some chickens for your commune. But so, the

447
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 2: reason some stocks of the US are having a tough

448
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: day is and it's specifically tech stocks. After after all,

449
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 2: the tech billionaires showed up to kiss Trump's ass at

450
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 2: the inauguration, You really, you really hate to see them

451
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 2: have such tough day. Because a Chinese company released an

452
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 2: AI product called deep Seek last week end of last week,

453
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 2: like on Friday, and it is basically as good as

454
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 2: chat GPT but way less expensive, and they developed it

455
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 2: for six million dollars on some Austin powers shit like

456
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 2: six million dollars, like literally, the like the AI experts

457
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 2: that they interviewed are like, that's a fucking it's a

458
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 2: joke of a budget bro like that. They're so mad

459
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 2: that that's how much they sunk into research. But the

460
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 2: way they did it was they made an open source.

461
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 3: I mean, there's also probably just knowing China I speak

462
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 3: with no information outside of this, but there's a world

463
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 3: where it's being propped up by Chinese government money that's

464
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 3: not being reported. But even so, yeah, like listen, I

465
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 3: of all people love like a Chinese knockoff of an

466
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 3: overinflated American thing, right, So this fucking rules to me. Yeah, sorry,

467
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 3: it rules for AI, which I hate, Yes, exactly, legend Ai.

468
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so there's just a lot of people

469
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 2: freaking out about you know what this means for AI

470
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 2: if they can like catch up to these companies that

471
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 2: are like just shoveling hundreds of millions of dollars into

472
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 2: the like research furnace every year and like in no

473
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 2: way remotely profitable, and then another country like doesn't have

474
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 2: all the you know, copyright laws and you know secrecy

475
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 2: of the US tech industry can come in and compete

476
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 2: with it. I think people are kind of shitting their

477
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 2: pants a little bit. To your point. I think a

478
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 2: lot of people are. I've been. I think it's a

479
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 2: combination of this and red note. A lot of people

480
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: are like, and this just goes to prove China better

481
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 2: in every way they fucking eradicated poverty. Uh yeah, I

482
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 2: mean authoritarian country there's yeah, yeah.

483
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 4: It's listen.

484
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 3: It's more just like I think it's like the curtain

485
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 3: on what the US actually is is being pulled back

486
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 3: for more people.

487
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 4: Yes, I think.

488
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 3: So, It's like it's not that like China is making

489
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 3: relative gains. It's just that, like the perception is China's

490
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 3: making huge gains because America is being revealed for how

491
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 3: like actually shitty and inequitable and plugging all of authoritarian

492
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 3: that it is is. So it's like, yeah, there's relatively

493
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 3: little desire to move from the US to China, and

494
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 3: as opposed to vice versa, a lot of that is marketing.

495
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 4: But we'll see how the world goes.

496
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: Ye, see how the world goes, Yes, we will. I

497
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 2: think there's going to be like as people face a

498
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 2: more realistic comparison between the two countries and as people

499
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 2: become more disillusioned with America, I feel like it's gonna

500
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 2: be it's gonna be an interesting time on the internet.

501
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 2: I don't know what, you know, Like, yeah, the Cold

502
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: War really drove both the US and Russia pretty yeah,

503
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 2: pretty crazy.

504
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 3: I mean, one thing that is a little insane not

505
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 3: this is me speaking in a completely self interested place. However,

506
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 3: like the one place that the US is actively like

507
00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 3: innovating and the unquestioned world leader is fucking Hollywood, and

508
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 3: not Hollywood as an entertainment, but Hollywood is in a

509
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 3: propaganda machine, and it is honestly wild that both the

510
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 3: recent governments have kind of decided to let Hollywood die

511
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 3: because Hollywood's the only like uniquely I mean, I guess

512
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 3: they would say Silicon Valley, but guess what. Look, it's

513
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 3: not like Hollywood is the place where the US unquestionably

514
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 3: rules the globe and we're electing to let that soft

515
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 3: power just evaporate for.

516
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 4: No good reason.

517
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 2: Yeah there mean to uh Donald Trump, So that's a

518
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: good reason, yeah, Joe Biden, Yeah, exactly.

519
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 3: Like it's like, you know, just truly thinking, even as

520
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 3: a full US imperialist, I don't understand why you wouldn't

521
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 3: prop up Hollywood. That's the one thing that lets you

522
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 3: the US be perceived as the superpower.

523
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: There should be a new top Gun movie every six

524
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 2: month months, okay, yeah, yeah, just anything.

525
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 3: It's just like like America's the is the norm culturally

526
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 3: because of Hollywood, yeah, or like everyone knows American norms, right, Yeah.

527
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 4: And this is me speaking as an evil person.

528
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Like if you're going to be an evil country,

529
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: that is like it's important to you to uphold your

530
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 2: place as like a you.

531
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 3: Know, yeah, you would keep your iron grip on the

532
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 3: world's media.

533
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 2: The myth that your entire ship is based on you.

534
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 2: You should maybe upkeep that, but not so much. Instead,

535
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 2: they're yeah, kind of taking that for granted and going

536
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 2: hard in the other direction. What what new levels of

537
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 2: fucking dystopia are being invented on a daily basis? Uh,

538
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 2: let's talk about the fact that ice raids are now

539
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 2: being live streamed by fucking doctor Phil.

540
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, this.

541
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: Just came like there ever tizing this on X so

542
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: it's like just showed up in my feed that like, hey,

543
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 2: doctor Phil has a live stream of what's going on

544
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: in Chicago. Uh, and he thinks it's good.

545
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 3: This is this by the way, I am as as

546
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 3: this episode comes out. I am in the midst of

547
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 3: being a marathon guest on Behind the Bastards about Oprah,

548
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 3: and this truly is Oprah has some splaighton to do,

549
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 3: like why did you put this man into the national spotlight?

550
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 2: He's yeah, he seems it seems bad. It seems bad. Yeah,

551
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 2: I don't know, there's bad. And then there's doctor Phil

552
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 2: partners with America's Gestapo bad. Yeah, and we are at

553
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 2: that second level. As ICE continues to arrest and deport

554
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 2: hundreds of people, Doctor Phil is tagging along and live

555
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 2: streaming arrests while serving as a vocal propagandist for the

556
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 2: border Czar Homan home man, home o man.

557
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 4: Let's call him that. Sorry, I said that too, man too.

558
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 3: I will also just say there was no reason in

559
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 3: the last four years ICE needed to have this budget.

560
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 3: Have these specific fascists still employed for them? Right, if

561
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 3: we truly were quote unquote resisting fascism under Democrats, Yeah,

562
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 3: they're still here.

563
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 4: They've been running camps.

564
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 3: All the fucking dickheads that are leaping to do this

565
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 3: could have been fired, but they weren't.

566
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 2: So well, what Biden's supposed to do is hands are tied.

567
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 2: Oh wait, right, he's.

568
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 4: His hands are tied.

569
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's him wanting that's sort of a sub situation.

570
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 2: Yes, I really do believe that. But yeah, so he's

571
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 2: bragging about how they were after two hundred high value

572
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 2: targets in Chicago. The whole thing was streamed on his

573
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 2: Merit TV platform, and he's treating it as like, all right,

574
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 2: we've got our knock list, you know, like it's like

575
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 2: mission impossible, and he's he's got his list of dangerous

576
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 2: men that he's helping them go after except for the

577
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 2: fact that Trump has given them daily quotas of deportations.

578
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 2: So Matt Iglesias was on that Ezra Cline podcast, Uh and.

579
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly what a phrase.

580
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 2: Yes, And he was basically saying, like, so this is

581
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 2: a thing like in watching the way that the supposedly

582
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 2: like liberal uh media is not up to the task

583
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: of resisting this. Like one of the things that keeps

584
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 2: chopping out to me is like they know how to

585
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 2: criticize somebody for being bad or like inefficient, but they

586
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 2: like can't do a moral critique like they because that's

587
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 2: not both sides in it. So like he was basically like,

588
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 2: by the way, like they're not even good at deporting,

589
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 2: Like he's putting up the same numbers as Biden, Like

590
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 2: on average, he's at four oh eight deportation Biden was

591
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 2: at four ten. And apparently that logic reached the Trump

592
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 2: administration because Trump officials are now being like, we need

593
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 2: to get those numbers up to one thy two hundred

594
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 2: to one thousand, five hundred.

595
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 3: But also crucially like it's like this thing of like, yes,

596
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 3: Trump is absolutely worse, but like just remember and like

597
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 3: despair that Biden wanted to be as bad, right, Biden, Again,

598
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 3: this is not like helpful especially, but like almost everything

599
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 3: that you and I and listeners and good people think

600
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 3: is a bad thing that Trump will do, Biden did

601
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 3: some version of that.

602
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 2: Right, just inefficiently.

603
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, like slightly or you know, slightly nicer about it,

604
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 3: with more women and like rainbow flags and fucking people

605
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 3: of color doing the fascism. So like, I don't want

606
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 3: to I'm not downplaying how bad Trump is, but it

607
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 3: is like very depressing how much Biden was also doing

608
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 3: this shit.

609
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. And just in terms of like the

610
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 2: media's kind of how they're covering this, it feels like

611
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 2: they're still trying to like spot the lie, which doesn't

612
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 2: work when you're dealing with like an authoritarian leader who

613
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 2: tells you the awful thing he's going to do and

614
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 2: then like does it. They're like they still feel like

615
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 2: they have to be like and yeah, there's also alec

616
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: Herritt Sanez was pointing out, like there's this New York

617
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 2: Times article that was like Trump's policies are actually more

618
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 2: popular than he is, and like it was like this

619
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 2: really specifically worded. I think we're going to get into

620
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 2: it on tomorrow's episode.

621
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 3: Well, right, because it's it's like like when you aggregate

622
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 3: approval ratings, like a bunch of shit that Trump is

623
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 3: doing baseline like normal stuff, like you know, I don't

624
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 3: even know what the specifics are, but like you know,

625
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 3: let's just the big something big, like he's not eliminating

626
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 3: Social Security completely immediately, people like yes, I like that,

627
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 3: or like like just like not touching stuff that doesn't

628
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 3: need to be touched.

629
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 4: Of course that's more popular.

630
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 3: That's not a Trump policy, that's just a default of

631
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 3: the US government, right right, And it's just like it's

632
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 3: happening in the background. So yeah, I guess if you

633
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 3: add up all the numbers and control yourself, then sure, yeah.

634
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 2: That feels like that's what they adding up the number

635
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 2: like it cover everything, like sports, like not just elections,

636
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,479
Speaker 2: like everything. When you remove morality from the equation, that's

637
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,479
Speaker 2: just what you get two sides trying to execute better

638
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 2: than the other. And if you cover it as such,

639
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 2: it's just going like you don't really have anything to

640
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 2: say when the dictator comes to power. And is just

641
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 2: like I'm about to do this bad thing, and there

642
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 2: I did it, and they're like, actually, you didn't like

643
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 2: do it that hard.

644
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well they're also like they're they're not covering.

645
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 3: They're covering the sport as defined by what they think

646
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 3: government is as opposed to what it actually is. Right,

647
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 3: Like government is doing is you know, taking our money

648
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 3: and doing good or bad with it, and that's not

649
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 3: what they're talking about, partially because every government is just

650
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 3: doing a combination of good and bad in more bad

651
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 3: than I would like proportions. Yeah, so it's just like, well, okay,

652
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 3: you can you can say Democrats and Republicans are like

653
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 3: playing a game on deportations. But it's like why is

654
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 3: any of this right? Yeah, Like that's it's not a

655
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 3: good thing. So it doesn't matter who's doing a better

656
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 3: or worse job on it.

657
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll talk tomorrow about the like Colombian tariff threats

658
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 2: from Trump and like that. Yeah, I'm just seeing people

659
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 2: cover it as like and Trump identified the leverage point

660
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 2: that he had and like got them to back down,

661
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 2: like just talking about it again, like it's fucking jiu

662
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 2: jitsu or some shit.

663
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but also it's like, you know, he's been given

664
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 3: control of like most like there's for all you gamers

665
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 3: out there, like just the most ope build possible. Right,

666
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 3: It's just like, oh, oh cool, you want this is

667
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 3: like a fucking like giving your five year old like

668
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 3: all the all the fucking points and you're just.

669
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, okay, sure you want who cares?

670
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, But they are, they seem impressed, just like

671
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 2: they will give him the win. Is like my issue.

672
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: It seems like they're willing to give him the win,

673
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 2: and I don't know, I'm just a little bit surprised

674
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 2: at how quickly they've gotten on board with the whole

675
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 2: kind of authoritarian project that's happening. All right, let's take

676
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,760
Speaker 2: a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about movies

677
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 2: and some some other bullshit that's not America's slide into fascism.

678
00:38:46,000 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 2: We'll be right back and we're back. And uh, Andrew,

679
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 2: did you see the number one movie in America this

680
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 2: past weekend? Flight Risk?

681
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 4: My god, I'm actually surprised that this is number one.

682
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 4: Can I just.

683
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 3: Say, as someone who is a fucking dickhead who sees

684
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 3: too many movies, January is are considered like the worst.

685
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 4: Time this is a good January.

686
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 3: Like, there's some pretty good movies out right now in

687
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:25,479
Speaker 3: a way that like.

688
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 4: This should not. This is fucking crazy.

689
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 2: It made twelve million dollars, so it was it was

690
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 2: a like very slow week end of the box office.

691
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, go see no for nos.

692
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't believe it got stiffed on. I mean

693
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 2: it got like three technical awards, but I would yeah,

694
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 2: what a fight director or something. Just nobody gives a ship.

695
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 3: Don't worry about the Academy Awards as a listen, given

696
00:39:55,280 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 3: the way the nominations went, I'm picking my word, but yeah, yeah, yeah.

697
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,919
Speaker 4: It's it's not a to think of it this way.

698
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 3: I guess it's like this is a popular vote in

699
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 3: a small, relatively insular community and no one has time

700
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 3: to see every movie, and I'll just believe it at

701
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 3: the time.

702
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. But unfortunately this movie was

703
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 2: not eligible. Unclear if it would have gotten any Academy

704
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 2: attention this year, but it uh, this is they like

705
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 2: I talked about, I think my overrated from a few

706
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 2: weeks ago was just the decision to like show his

707
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 2: like hat Wig come off. Did you see the trailer

708
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 2: for this It's like such a wild moment, like it's

709
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 2: something that we've only seen in like like slapstick comedies before.

710
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 4: Listen. I probably. I guess the reason I.

711
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 3: Didn't see it this weekend is I was like, I

712
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 3: don't want to fucking give Mel Gibson any money.

713
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 4: And Mark Wahlberg personally, however, it does look kind of

714
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 4: not good.

715
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 2: It doesn't kind of it looks insane. Yeah. Yeah, it

716
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 2: got a C Cinema score from audiences. To put that

717
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 2: in perspective, Cat's got a C plus.

718
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 3: So I'm assuming I actually don't know enough about the

719
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 3: movie to know how it's extremely right wing, given that

720
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 3: Mel Gibson directed it, But I'm assuming there's some versions.

721
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's some stuff in there. Yeah, I guess.

722
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 3: I'm pleasantly ish surprised that. I mean, I guess Mark

723
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 3: Wahlberg is the villain, but I'm I'm the prisoner or

724
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:43,280
Speaker 3: whatever is a white guy in to for Grace, So yeah.

725
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 2: That's true. I don't know Charles Gruden the Midnight Run.

726
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 3: If we're just broadly speaking about movies. This weekend, I

727
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 3: saw the presence or presence the Soderbergh Ghost Movie.

728
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 4: From the perspective of ghost and my my POV.

729
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 2: You're a good but it's actually from the point of

730
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 2: view of a ghost.

731
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 3: And yeah, I know I'm old, but the change of

732
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 3: the meaning of POV is one of the wildest things.

733
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 3: It means not right, like as far as I can now, Yeah,

734
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 3: well now it means you're through the point of view

735
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 3: or you're viewing a and those are largely almost diametric opposites, right, exactly,

736
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 3: Like the only other option for a camera is to

737
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 3: be looking at neither, and that then is just weird.

738
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 3: What I will say about presence, I just wanted to

739
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 3: say this officially on some podcast somewhere, so you're the

740
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 3: first opportunity for me to say this out loud.

741
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 4: I like the movie enough.

742
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 3: It's wild that Lucy Lou keeps his shoes on household

743
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 3: and I will fucking die on that.

744
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 2: Wow.

745
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little ambiguous. And then there's a wide

746
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 3: shot and I'm like, those fucking Chinese kids have their

747
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 3: shoes and the fucking rug.

748
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 2: Wow, it's happening. Yeah, it feels after like, you know,

749
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 2: my wife is Korean, my wife, sorry, is Korean, and

750
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 2: we've been shoes off household as long as we've lived

751
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 2: together and going back to a shoes on household feels

752
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 2: so wild.

753
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 4: It feels like disgusting. Yeah, it feels.

754
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 2: Like it feels disrespectful to I'm like, I can't, I'm

755
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 2: gonna take my shoes off.

756
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 4: That's just how I.

757
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I otherwise, you know, I like the movie, but uh,

758
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 3: come on, come on, Hollywood, the fuck is happening here? Yes,

759
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 3: it is surprising, like the fact that they got Mark

760
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 3: Wahlberg to and I haven't seen the movie, so maybe

761
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 3: there's a twist, but the fact that they got him

762
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 3: to not be the good guy who saves the day

763
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 3: on a plane like when he's so clearly you know

764
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 3: this nine to eleven commentary is if I was there,

765
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 3: wouldn't have gone down like that?

766
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 4: Just I mean, I know, imagine.

767
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 3: I imagine that Mel Gibson does not have the sense

768
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 3: of humor. But if there was someone funnier helming this,

769
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 3: who could get Mark Karburk to say, it wouldn't have

770
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 3: gone down like this.

771
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, the movie going down like that. I'm here

772
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 2: and it's not going down like that. He also got

773
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 2: again a thing that we were talking about possibly in

774
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 2: the cold open. It's just Mel Gibson's weird. Oh sure,

775
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 2: futility fetish like violence, weird interpreted like focus on the

776
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 2: you know, Jesus getting the shit kicked out of a

777
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 2: version of Catholicism.

778
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 3: That I was like, I literally was about to ask

779
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:55,479
Speaker 3: you what is that called?

780
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 4: And I was like, all right, it's the passion of

781
00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:58,240
Speaker 4: the movie.

782
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 2: But he went on Hannity to promote his movie and said,

783
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 2: of Donald Trump, it's like daddy arrived and he's taken

784
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 2: off his belt, you know.

785
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he's about that, I mean, yeah, yeah, Yeah, there's.

786
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 2: Not much to say about. Drones are back, you guys.

787
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 2: That's exciting, the New Jersey Drones, which needs to be

788
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 2: the name of a minor league baseball team if it's

789
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 2: not already. Yeah, there's a there's a headline on Drudge

790
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 2: that said Northeast drone sighting surge again ellipses, And that's

791
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,439
Speaker 2: literally the only possible way to make the story seem

792
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 2: like the drones are still intriguing, because when you click

793
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 2: through to the New York Post, the headline is Northeast

794
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 2: drone sighting surge again after FAA limits lifted. So, as

795
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 2: we talked about, just be in case anybody missed the

796
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 2: way this drone story happened. There's everyone's like, what the

797
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 2: fuck are these drones? It's so weird, like where are

798
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 2: they coming from? And then the FAA put limits on

799
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 2: whether you were able to fly your hobby drones. They

800
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 2: said you can't, it'll be a crime. And the drone

801
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 2: sighting stopped, and so the aliens are apparently very sensitive

802
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 2: to the possibility of ticketing. Yeah, and Iran, I feel

803
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 2: like if people spent the first few months of those

804
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 2: like lime scooters showing up everywhere, insisting that like nobody

805
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 2: could explain where they were coming from, and then it

806
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 2: must be aliens, Like it's just people are seeing drones

807
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 2: more often because other people are flying drones more often.

808
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 2: Like that. There's like the FAA limited the ban on

809
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 2: being able to fly drones wherever the fuck you want

810
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 2: last year, and so then people were like, all right,

811
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start flying.

812
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, they lifted the ban on where they could fly them,

813
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 3: and everyone decided New Jersey, which.

814
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly ahead of the cut.

815
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,240
Speaker 3: You know, now that we're talking about it, I will say,

816
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 3: going back to our like what's wrong with people's brains thing?

817
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 3: I now I'm kind of like maybe what's happening is

818
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 3: our logic, our processing power, Like we're just operating on

819
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 3: jump cut reasoning, like to go from I see drones

820
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 3: everywhere to I saw more drones today to there are

821
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 3: aliens or our Audians or whatever. It's just like, well,

822
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 3: that's that can only happen in jump cut, because if

823
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 3: you walk through the steps, it makes no sense.

824
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:32,959
Speaker 2: Right exactly. It's we're just it's like we have we're

825
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 2: all in a writer's room that is trying to come

826
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 2: up with the most interesting direction for us story to go.

827
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 2: It would be more interesting if these vaccines that we've

828
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 2: all been getting since we were kids, we're actually like

829
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 2: the government like doing something like spying on it. Like

830
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 2: it's we do actually live in like the matrix or

831
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 2: you know some shit. You know, it's more interesting if

832
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 2: the you know, people who bought a ninety dollars drone

833
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 2: are aliens. But it's just, yeah, we're all just writers

834
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 2: rooming reality in the direction that is going to be

835
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 2: most intriguing, and it's fucking it's driving everybody out of

836
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:14,800
Speaker 2: their minds.

837
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 3: Here's my actual question for someone I don't know, smarter

838
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 3: than me or more invested in me, than this, but

839
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 3: like this we are at a sort of like facts

840
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 3: don't care about your feelings stage of things. But yeah,

841
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,760
Speaker 3: surprise surprise the other way, like what is the actual

842
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 3: way to like bet against all of these counterfactual like

843
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 3: right wing beliefs I don't know, Like for instance, actually

844
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 3: so so after the twenty twenty election, there was this

845
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 3: guy who I think might be kind of a right

846
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:51,720
Speaker 3: wing goon or libertarian goon but poker player named Bart

847
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 3: Hanson I think his name is, And he was just

848
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 3: openly taking bets on Twitter with QAnon people, you know,

849
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 3: for large amounts of money, and like I think they

850
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 3: went through because they would put them in scrow accounts.

851
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 3: But he would just be like Donald Trump will not

852
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,439
Speaker 3: be like sworn in as president in twenty twenty one,

853
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 3: Like I'm taking all that. Yeah, and he made a

854
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 3: ton of money. That's great, Like what is the way?

855
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously you don't want to like short like

856
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 3: fucking iron lungs or go long on like iron lungs

857
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 3: or whatever, but like it's something like that, Like the

858
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 3: things that these people believe and that they're using their

859
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 3: immense power to implement do not comport with actual factual reality,

860
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 3: and there's only so long they can push that off, right,

861
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 3: So how do you arbitrage that?

862
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,399
Speaker 4: That's w Yeah, that's my challenge to the.

863
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, let us know if you've got a way to

864
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 2: let's turn this whole thing into a get rich quick scheme,

865
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 2: because people who like you could short the stock market,

866
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 2: but the stock market's been able to just be completely

867
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,800
Speaker 2: isolated from reality, Like I think the stock market is

868
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 2: fully in on on the lie right now, right.

869
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, but also like the stock market, it's like

870
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 3: like things that are bad for humanity are good for it.

871
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 4: As you said, like so right, if everyone.

872
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,760
Speaker 3: If every corporation could fire everyone, that would be good

873
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 3: for the stock market, even though that would eliminate its

874
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 3: customer base. Right, But you know, I think in their world,

875
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 3: it's like that's fine if like ninety nine percent of

876
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 3: Americans or the world or whatever are just sort of

877
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 3: like surfs or like like indentured servants, that's fine, and

878
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 3: then we can just like pass around the same like

879
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 3: couple billion dollars to keep the stock market moving.

880
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 1: Yeah.

881
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 2: I feel like that's where we're headed more than more

882
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 2: than some like revelation that like they were lying about everything,

883
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 2: but I'm.

884
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 3: Just saying, like, like the other things they're implementing are incorrect.

885
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:56,240
Speaker 3: I mean, look, even from an economic perspective, like fucking

886
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 3: all these mass departations, they are going to ruin the

887
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 3: aggric cultural economy, the manufacturing economy, Like these things will

888
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 3: come home to roost as it were, eventually.

889
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 4: So what does one do about this?

890
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 3: Like we can't stop it happening, Like, you know, if

891
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 3: our k goes in, I think that's it's a reasonable

892
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 3: bet there's gonna be fucking polio in America, like right

893
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 3: eventually in the next ten years, Like there's gonna be like.

894
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 2: You don't want to invest in iron lungs, right because I.

895
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 4: Was just.

896
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 3: That and I don't know, Andrew, it's a bye. The

897
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 3: problem is who's going to make the best iron lung.

898
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 3: It's probably someone that's otherwise going to profit from all

899
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 3: this ship You're Luckheed Martin.

900
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 2: Dude's going to convert that little personal submarine that he

901
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,439
Speaker 2: was developing to rest kids into an iron lung.

902
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 3: Oh my god, can you imagine how shitty his iron

903
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 3: lung is going to be?

904
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 2: Well, Andrew, such a pleasure having you as always? Where

905
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 2: can people find you? Follow you all? That kind of stuff.

906
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,720
Speaker 3: I don't know, Manos is racist. I am on blue Sky,

907
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 3: so I guess there. I've been doing very little blue skying.

908
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, not for me.

909
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 2: I fucking social media, all right, that is gonna do
