WEBVTT - Musk Monkey Microchip Good 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:07.040 Welcome to Worst Year Ever, A production of I Heart Radio. 0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:23.319 Well together everything, So don't don't do what's annexing my 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:27.680 sudit and land. That was a that was a hit 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:33.280 through opening ha ha ha. It's always good starting off 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:37.600 on opening hitlery note, just a note, don't have to 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:41.200 I was reading. I was reading. Somebody found some old 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.640 comments from people when the Lord of the Rings movies 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:45.959 before they had come outside. It was just the ads, yeah, 0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:48.000 and the people were like complaining about like the orc 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:52.520 um pits in the ground and are when having a 0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.320 personality vaguely and all this kind of stuff. And it 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.040 reminded me of my own feelings when the movie Downfall 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.800 came out, which is that Bruno Gan was just way 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:04.440 too fussible to play hit. Um. Yeah, that's whatever they 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:08.080 still say. Sophie's politely nodding as if she knows what 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:12.240 you're talking about, and I know she doesn't like I don't. Yeah, um, 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:16.920 how are we all doing today? I all right, I'm 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:22.200 all right, I'm okay, you're okay, I'm all right and okay, yeah, 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:30.000 I'm okay, and all right, you're not. What's wrong the world? Actually? 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.759 I mean, broadly speaking, We've got some good news today 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:38.200 because the Russian state polled some of its troops back 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:44.480 from the Ukrainian border. Ask about this because, well, but 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.480 did they though it was so? I mean, I know 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.480 that they did hold on, but like, I know that 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.760 there was this whole talk about, like when the training 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:52.840 drills were done, like to watch to see if more 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.200 troops go to the border versus go home. And I 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.280 know that some places went home, but it doesn't seem 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.640 like there's any real retreat. So I'm just confused, there's 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:04.680 there's legit or just like them fucking with everybody. They 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.440 pulled back some troops enough that the people who I 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.920 think are worth paying attention to our saying, well, they 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.079 could still invade and take some stuff, but they are 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.240 like this. This suggests that whatever they're looking at, it 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.640 is not like the nightmare you know, take Kiev kind 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:26.040 of full. So if there is you know, some sort 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.880 of direct kind of action they're planning, it's probably more 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.800 limited to like, you know, the separatist areas and maybe 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.600 taking places like Constantinivka or whatever that are kind of 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.640 close for them. Um, not that that's good, but it 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.400 also makes me hopeful that maybe this is was was 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:46.560 always more about pressure UM to try to push against Ukraine, 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.079 joining NATO, to try and get missiles removed, to try 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.400 and get other kinds of concessions, to try and get 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.680 recognition of the separatist areas. Like we'll see what actually happens, 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:58.000 but it's it's positive, like and one of the things 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.240 that's happened. So obviously the US announced, what was it 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.679 last week that like we think Russia is going we've 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:08.040 we've we've intercepted whatever, that Russia's gonna invade UM and 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.160 now Russia's like they put out an announcement as they 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.560 started pulling some of their troops back, saying that like 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.200 basically the sixteenth is going to be internationally recognized as 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.040 like a day when it was proved that like US 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.720 intelligence agencies or you know, can't be trusted and like 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.240 have bad info and that may have been part of 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.120 the plan from the beginning. Is just like you know, 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.839 kind of like fun which I'm like, honestly, I don't 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.000 give a ship as long as Ukrainians don't have to 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:35.440 deal with more war like I find Russia conflict owning 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.560 US or whatever. That's that rule. It's good for you guys. 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:42.560 I feel like they're already other days that recognize that, 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.000 Like this isn't the first. Yeah, I don't think we 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.480 needed that, but we don't need it whatever, Like I'm 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:52.119 not going to complain, Yeah I don't. All I care 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.880 about in the end here is that like Ukraine doesn't 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.800 get more invaded than it's been invaded for the last 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:05.440 almost too decades. Less would be great, would be great, 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.240 but this is two so I'm not going to hope 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.040 too much. I mean, there are still troops there, so 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:15.640 less invaded is a start. Yeah, less invaded is good. Um, 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:19.760 so fingers crossed the uh this all gets resolved in 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.320 a way that doesn't lead to a massive um expansion 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.360 in the number of people dying violently in Ukraine. That 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.800 would be good. That's really all I care about at 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.920 this point. It really has been so much more intention 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:37.200 there for forever forever. Yeah. I was going to say 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.640 a while, but forever is much more accurate. Yeah. Well, 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:45.880 Ukraine is badly located. Um, it's great for growing all 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:47.839 of the food because it grows all of the food 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.120 in Europe, but it's also like in the middle of 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.760 all of Europe or in between. It's in between Europe 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.520 and Russia. Um, and it grows all the food. It's sorry, 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.840 I should say, it's in between Europe, Russia, and the 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:01.200 Middle East, so it's the cross roads of Asia, the 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.040 Middle East and Europe. And it also grows a shipload 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.200 of food. So it's just kind of been rough there 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:14.280 for most of the existence of organized civilization. Um And 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.880 I would just like it if that it didn't get 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.840 any worse right now, that would be nice. That would 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:24.839 be nice. Fingers crossed for Ukraine. Finger's toes crest all 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:29.799 the vibes to Ukraine. Yeah, Yeah, that's what Ukraine really needs, 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:34.400 is vibes. Vibes for Ukraine. That's gonna that's gonna do it. 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.039 Let's get it going, guys. Let's get hashtag vibes for 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.320 Ukraine going. It is it is. It says a lot 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.600 about like the people there and just how life has 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:44.640 been for them that like, as this has been going on, 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:46.320 you know, I've been checking in with a number of 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.760 folks and like people I know who are Russia focused 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.919 experts have been like, I don't think they're going to 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.640 invade The people I know who are like conflict journalists 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.760 or kind of on the U s side of analyzing 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.640 this have been like, they're definitely going to invade, and 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.840 then all of the Ukrainians I know have been like, 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.640 who the funk knows? Yeah maybe, yeah, yeah, that could happen. 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:12.280 About the bush, Yeah sure, I mean it's Ukraine. It 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.760 is a drinking town, you know. Um, Kiev is a 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:17.920 great city to get wasted, and I once puked on 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.320 a sushi dinner there, but that's a story for another day. Um, Like, 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:27.559 can we talk about the Crypto Bowl? Yes, God, yes, 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:33.200 abs a fucking lutely, let's celebrate Ukraine not currently being 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.640 invaded by a hundred thousand additional Russian troops, although maybe 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.400 in the future. Um, by talking about the Crypto bol 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:46.840 that sounds incredible. Yeah, did you catch it? I bought 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.240 it all, bought all the money, did it? I am in? 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.960 I am in crypto now? Yeah, I am crypto now. 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:56.320 I got one of the apes, which one the boardhist 0:06:56.400 --> 0:07:01.440 of the apes on the board apes? Oh man, I 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:06.719 think they're all kind of ugly. Um not no, not 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:12.560 the one you got. My favorite tweet following the Super Bowl, uh, 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.560 was from Noah Garfinkel. One reason I still have trouble 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.480 believing cryptocurrency is money. Is that there aren't commercials for 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:28.320 money to advertise money the dollar, catch the fever, um, 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:33.440 don't get cooked by pounds be a euro man. Well, 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.040 so so tell me this. So like I'm trying to 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:40.000 give crypto what it does not deserve, which is the 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:45.240 benefit of the doubt. Um, because they were ads well 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:50.600 because their ads for like platforms where you trade crypto. Right, 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:55.360 it wasn't like it wasn't thanks are bad, but they 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.480 are a centralized place where you put your money and 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:05.440 exchange it exactly right. Yeah. Um so uh maybe uh, 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:10.440 crypto isn't the decentralized freedom money that people seem to 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.800 apply that it is, um, But I will just say 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.640 it was not necessarily commercials for money. It was commercials 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:22.240 for platforms where you can buy money. It was commercials 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:26.040 for platforms where you can trade unregistered securities like that. 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.840 That's what it is. That's like why Jordan Belfort's back 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:32.760 like into crypto, because you can even if you've repeatedly 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:37.320 gone to prison for breaking financial crime laws because it's 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.360 it's it's in this weird gray area and that's the 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:44.640 only reason. Like what is happening right now? Um, nineties like, 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.800 the vast majority of crypto is owned by like one 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:51.120 percent of the motherfucker's who have cryptocurrency. There's number one, 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:54.120 not all that many people who own crypto, and even 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.760 fewer her own inn f T s, and most of 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.640 both are held by a tiny number of people, and 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:04.280 they are billionaires on paper, but they can't be billionaires 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.600 in the real world because there's not that much actual 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:10.120 cash in the cryptocurrency system. If you've got three billion 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.880 dollars in in bitcoin and you were to cash that out, 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.120 you would get a fraction of that because number one, 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.040 you would drop the price of bitcoin. At number two, 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:20.080 there's just not that many people pumping new cash in. 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.360 Most of these big sales are like somebody who has 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.840 half a billion dollars in crypto bought in n f 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.280 T for half a billion dollars, but half a billion 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.760 in crypto that they can't really get out of the 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:36.319 system unless more people marks what we call them in 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:40.640 the common pump cash in so that the people who 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.240 want to be billionaires in the real world have a 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.920 chance of actually liquidating their crypto assets and turning them 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:50.040 into cash which you can use to buy islands. Yeah, 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:54.200 don't do it. The carnivals. They packed them on the 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:57.920 back of shocked to mark them. What you're doing as 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:02.720 a rube, your rubes. I like this part of the 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.680 this fortune article. But despite the millions spent on making 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.880 and airing the ads, the price of cryptocurrencies such as 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:15.200 bitcoin and Aretheum's ether flatlined afterwards, with the overall crypto 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:18.160 market down on Monday eight pm, he's your time about 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:22.120 two percent over the previous twenty four hours. You know 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.240 where I think it is? What I what I honestly 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:25.920 think is a big part of what's going on right now, 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.439 like why it's it's dropping. It's other people have mentioned 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.640 this online if you remember, and you'd have to be like, 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:37.160 are you guys are both a little over than me, right, Cody? Yeah? Yeah, um, 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:38.720 you would have to be. I think I am the 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:42.200 youngest you can possibly be and and really get this directly. 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:47.120 They look like the Internet ads you were saying, come, yeah, 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:52.360 it does these Internet ads on the Super Bowl? So yeah, 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:57.560 two thousand and a tumble Yeah yeah, I know, the 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.040 bubble like it burst like that was the like you 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.120 you saw like tons of these Super Bowl as for 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:05.040 again like pets dot com. Uh, and then that was 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.920 when the decline started. Yeah, and it's one of those things. 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:12.520 I I spend so much time being negative about crypto 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:15.200 because number one, I think the people who are making 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.800 a lot of advertisements about it are just fucking lying um. 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:22.800 And and number two, I think that the things they 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.520 are trying to frame as the killer app used for 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:29.320 kind of crypto are nonsense. Um. There's a lot, especially 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.640 like early on, there was some stuff about bitcoin that 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:33.440 was really cool. There was some stuff that could have 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.840 been something, and there's still promise of the general idea 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:42.040 of trying to make a decentralized not connected to any 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:46.679 government store of value. That's hard too harder to trace that. Like, 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.080 there's a number of like potentials within some of the 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.520 ideas in cryptocurrency. But as soon as bitcoin became a 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:56.160 speculative asset, that's all crypto is now. That's all any 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.200 of this Web three ship is now. It is all 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.120 pump and dumps um. Which isn't to say that like 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.559 aspects of crypto will never make their way into something 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.280 Useful's like the metaverse. Yeah, some of the ship that 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.360 is part of these metaverse plans will be something people 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:11.840 want one day. There are aspects of this stuff that 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.680 people want, but the overall thing they're trying to sell 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.719 you is a fucking con um and it I can 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.920 tell you it's a con because, like, as a dude 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:23.520 who's into technology, as somebody who bought a stupid fucking 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.320 Microsoft two screen phone because I thought it looked neat, 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.120 I am waiting for somebody to talk to me about 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.600 crypto or web three in a way that's like, yeah, 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.400 that seems like a neat idea that I want, but 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:36.560 no one has. No one has told me a way 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.960 a utility other than you can gamble and maybe get 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.000 rich if you're lucky, and like, that's not I can 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:49.880 gamble on Yeah, I could go to Vegas crab buffet. 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.320 At least there's those memories. Well maybe those memories won't 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.280 last if you drink hard enough, but yeah, you won't 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:57.800 want them to last. You lose a lot of money. 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:02.680 But yeah, but I do wanna pivot slightly. If you 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:07.600 guys give me not permission, I claim permission before we 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:11.000 go to to talk a little bit more about the 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:15.360 Super Bowl. I think maybe we should touch on sexual anarchy, right, 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:22.520 like the response to an undisputable epic halftime the difficulty 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.559 with sexual anarchy is that even if you're somebody who 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.120 has rejected sort of the idea that that love is 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.680 fundamentally functions in an economy of scarcity, and you're open 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.640 to the idea of multiple partners, hierarchy is so kind 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:37.440 of ingrained in the way that we treat relationships that 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:41.239 it is really difficult to have non multiple, non hierarchical 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.959 relationships with Oh, you guys were talking about the Charlie 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:48.319 Kirktin was talking about, not relationship anarchy, the lifestyle choice. 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:53.319 Certainly could spend some time on packing that as well. Now, 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.800 just in general, the fucking I mean, I I still 0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:01.439 don't understand what was sexual anarchy about that than talking 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:08.000 about just like there were some dance women dancing their 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:14.800 legs Janet Jackson's it came out. Yeah, damn night did 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.880 it was revealed for all that was no shame, Janet. 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:22.880 We love you years ago. Yeah, it was like twenty 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:26.640 years ago. We were literally invading multiple countries and everybody 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.040 took a break from that to be like, well, this 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.880 is the problem we ought to focus on as a country. 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:39.240 I love it interesting that it's the same time it 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:43.000 is interesting, isn't it isn't it interesting? Interesting? But also, 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.000 you know what was the other one? I don't have 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:48.600 it in front of me from someone talking about these hoodlums, 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:52.920 but it would be better with like Kid Rock? Did 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.000 they use you know, maybe I'm combining a couple of 0:14:56.040 --> 0:15:00.400 tweets that I saw, but yeah, there was so one 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:02.840 thing that would be better with Kid Rock. And it 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.800 is like a boat crash. Like if you were to 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:07.840 tell me there was a boat crash involving Kid Rock, 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:15.680 I would be like, well, that's that's awesome, that's fun. Good, Um, 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.840 that was fun for him. I am so like, I 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:24.960 didn't watch this. Um, oh it was so good. No, no, no, 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.640 it was such a good halftime show. I'm sure it 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:32.200 was good and fine and all these artists. I'm scrubbing 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:35.760 through this video and I am really struggling to see 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:39.280 what he meant by sal anarchy. It is a there 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:44.720 was one woman performer, like literally like maybe one minute 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:49.920 of some women dancing. Um, what a character that guy. 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:51.960 Maybe he met that section where it was all a 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.760 bunch of Dr Dre's dancing around. I don't know, it 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:57.560 just seems like the thing he knew he was supposed 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:00.440 to say, right, Yeah, I think he was owing to 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:02.680 say this and had this tweet planned out before he 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.480 ever saw the halftime show. And he's trying to do 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:08.600 it because a lot of the people that Charlie Kirk 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:10.840 is inspired by, the right wing ship heads of an 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:14.760 earlier generation made a lot of money and raised their 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:17.960 profiles yelling about Janet Jackson that one time. So he's like, 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:23.200 hopefully I can do the same. Yeahs. He knows his inspiration, 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.360 and he also knows his audience, who are the same age. 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:31.000 Um right, Like he's appealing to fifty sixty year olds 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.000 who used to complain about this stuff and are happy 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.120 to have like, oh, finally the young people get it. 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:37.920 And we all gave him the oxygen on Twitter the 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.640 next day and on this show. Not me, but yeah, 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:43.240 now we're talking about it. So I don't know what 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.800 are we gonna do. Do you think this crypto is 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:50.960 going to catch on? I don't. Um. I think maybe 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.880 a different version of it one day will will the 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.400 aspects of it will be a thing again, as I said, 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:57.760 but I think I don't think people are going to 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:00.360 get into this because all it is is gambling, and 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:01.880 so some people are going to get into it. To 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.840 try to gamble, But like, what is the utility do 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.080 most people want to own n f T S? No, 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:09.919 because most people look at it f T S and go, well, 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.320 I don't even own any real art. And I read 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.159 a very funny article in the New York Times that 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:17.280 was about um, big crypto guys and f T collectors 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:21.000 like buying actual art um and like purchasing physical art 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.120 and being like, yeah, I want to expand my collection. 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:25.520 Yeah with something that's real, of course, Yeah, you want 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.240 a real real artists like selling your work. Um. I 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.879 love the idea. Also that like this is like you know, 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:34.280 like it's like decentralized and like we like we're it's 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.080 like the elite don't want you to do this, and 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.160 like we're gonna like take it back. But now it's 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:40.800 just like so fucking like Matt Damon and like all 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:43.840 these like extremely wealthy people are telling you to buy 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:52.159 these awful because exactly because their agency told them to write. Um, guys, 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:56.080 we had to take a quick break for the advertisements 0:17:56.520 --> 0:18:01.480 and then we'll be back finalism, by which I mean 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:17.680 Jimmy Fallon, enjoy these ads, m together everything. We're back 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:22.320 real quick. Jimmy Fallon doesn't have a soul, right, Like 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:25.320 there's when when the canvas turn off, it's just a 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:27.760 dial tone inside his head, right Like he's just a 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:31.960 yawning void of hunger for attention. That that's it, right that. 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:33.879 I feel like it's a void where there's like a 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:38.200 single can't laugh. Yeah, yeah, there's there's nothing going on. 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:42.080 Like if you're alone with Jimmy Fallon, the quiet, the 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.960 emptiness at the center of him will consume you. That's 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.560 why he has to have a studio audience. Yeah, it's like, um, 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:50.399 like a like a horror movie where you hear like 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:54.240 a bunch of like like school children goes like London 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:55.960 Bridge is following like something like that. But it's just 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:59.480 his laughter. Yeah, I feel confidence saying there's nothing that's 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:04.560 more for tightening to me than Jimmy Fallon. Well did 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:08.199 you uh? I mean, I think we gotta give him 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:10.040 at least a little credit for pickling a really good ape. 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:18.080 He did pick a great ape, you know, yep, yep, 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:21.280 I was gonna give us get us going. Did you 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:23.280 always want to watch a commercial and react to it? 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:24.800 We want to move on to another time? Yeah, yeah, 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:26.480 let's watch a commercial and react to it. Let's give 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:29.159 the people what I want. Yeah, let's give it. I 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:32.520 don't care what you see that. You see that Biden 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:37.919 tweet which one Biden tweeted about how like if you 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:42.000 know last night's Super Bowl ads indicate that the future 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:45.320 is electric vehicles. There are a lot of electric vehicle commercials, 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:49.080 and it was just really funny that, like, ay, that's 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:51.919 the indicator. And also like did you see all the 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:55.760 crypto ads? Mr President? Did you notice that too? I 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:58.640 liked the one that was obviously taking aim at Tesla. 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:02.480 There was an electric car ad did say our cars 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:06.480 don't explode, explode, We're not building a single tunnel. That 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:08.399 was one, but there was one that was clearly taking 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:13.760 at aim at Tesla. Okay, uh, this is the one 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:20.879 that everybody was talking about. It's really stupid dope to pay. 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:26.040 Oh is this the fucking This is the ad where 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:29.880 they've got like a QR code. Right, So I didn't 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:32.119 see this one. It was like, this is perfect for 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:36.640 an audio medium, Sophie. Yeah, what we're seeing is just 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:41.080 a c and like a retro looking sea bouncing around 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:46.800 um a screen like like like a barcode thing. And 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:51.880 it went on for what seemed like forever. Yeah, so 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:54.719 coin bases like sort of like a bank. I'll explain 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:56.359 to you a crucial way in which they're different in 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:58.840 a minute. Uh. And they put on an AD that's 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:01.520 like a QR code based bouncing around the screen and 0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:04.719 if you, if you, if you like, scan the thing 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:07.440 with your phone, you'll get a free and f t right. 0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:10.520 And that was the Super Bowl giveaway. And of course 0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:14.399 they ponied up what was it, sixteen million dollars for 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:17.000 this ad, but they did not prepare their servers for 0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:18.600 the amount of people who would be trying to get 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:22.080 a free thing. Um, and it crashed immediately, which is 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:25.160 funny but also entirely expected. Now here's a fun piece 0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:27.440 of information about how coin base is not a bank 0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:30.280 because if a bank, right, if your bank were to 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:34.639 like collapse for some reason, suddenly you would go to 0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:37.200 the federal reserve. And perhaps this would take a little while, 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:39.159 but you could go to the Federal Reserve Reserve and say, hey, 0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:41.680 I need all of my money which is guaranteed by 0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:43.919 the f D i C you know, um, and they 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:46.520 would get you your money. That's how that's why why 0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:48.520 we have a federal part of why we we built 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:51.440 all this stuff is because it used to be if 0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:55.320 your bank went under, you were fucked forever, and now 0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:57.520 it is not the case because we decided that was 0:21:57.520 --> 0:22:00.440 a bad way to run an economy. If coin Base 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:03.959 goes down, it is not a bank. It is basically 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:07.520 like an investment kind of structure thing, and so if 0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:11.119 it goes down, there's a legally a list of like 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:13.960 when they try to kind of sort out the assets 0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:17.159 of a failed investment thing, like what coin base actually is. 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:21.320 There's a priority list of who gets paid out what 0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:25.040 they put in first. And because of legally what you 0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:27.280 are when you put your money into coin Base, you're 0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:31.080 at the bottom of that list. Yeah, Like it's not 0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:35.959 a bank. Yes, your rapes are gone, yeah, or at 0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:38.879 least all of your money. Um, anyway, it's cool. It 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:45.000 sounds like, yeah, okay, what's this one. Here's here's the 0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:52.040 lebron James crypto on Yeah, what the funk? That's a crypto. 0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:55.160 Here's the thing. I had no idea that was about crypto. 0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:59.280 I just like the that's a sneaky, motherfucking sneaky. It's 0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:01.119 first of all, this I mean the c G I 0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:04.520 on Young Lebron is very bad and that's kind of funny, 0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:10.440 but yeah, it's it's it's like when you're watching something 0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:12.040 and you don't and then all of a sudden, it's like, 0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:14.879 Toyota is on your side and it has nothing to 0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:18.040 do with Toyota. Crypto did the same thing. Yeah, except 0:23:18.080 --> 0:23:20.119 for all all the ways Toyota is on my side. 0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:22.800 Because when the war happens, that's what I will be writing. 0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:28.000 The Battle in Toyota. You're gonna says, because Prius is 0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:32.280 don't die. Prius is to what any kind of Toyota? Really? No, 0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:35.720 I mean, it's that's gross. It's obvious what they're doing. Like, 0:23:35.800 --> 0:23:38.840 Lebron is an inherently charming person. You just tend to 0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:41.359 like him when he's in things because he's Lebron James, 0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:46.679
