00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,840

31
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 2: the inauguration.

32
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: There's just a video pim you you good? Is you rolling? Bitch?

33
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: I might be that is what and that is what

34
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: I said.

35
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: He had any amount of charisma, he might have said

36
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: that Biguccy main fan. Instead, he would have said, go

37
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: fuck yourself. I don't know how many how clear I

38
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 2: can be about this.

39
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: Go fuck yourself so powerfully and cool.

40
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: Anyways, he does seem to be enjoying the studio space

41
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: of his body during the during this clip. If you

42
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 2: haven't found it, well we will link off to it

43
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: in the footnotes. But yeah, we were trying to speculate.

44
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: Is it ketamine? Is it M D M A? Is

45
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 2: it some combination, some unholy combination of the various substances

46
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: we know he partakes them.

47
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 3: Whatever it is, dude was geeking and leaking beacon, leaking

48
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: the real nasty like that's like if Walt Fraser did

49
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: commentary on people's drug use.

50
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: Geeking and leaking is Elon Musk. Yeah, he looked high,

51
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 2: but before you before this encourage you to think he's cool.

52
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: This was right before he did two very clear Nazi salutes,

53
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: So he's on the him on drugs. You know, some

54
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: people do drugs and make good music. He does drugs

55
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: and does a full Nazi salute. Yeah, just fucking it.

56
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: Like the thing about the Nazi salute that it feels

57
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 2: like it's almost like bursting forth from him, like it's

58
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: like it's it's a Doctor Strangelove sitch, you know.

59
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it definitely felt like he's he didn't try

60
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: and pull the arm down.

61
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

62
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. And also, you know, he does seem to be

63
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: on that Doctor Strange like he Watching Doctor Strange Love

64
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: with Elon Musk would be interesting because he would be

65
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: rooting for the generals and Doctor Strangelove and being like, yeah,

66
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: these people have like good ideas. We should good kill

67
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: most people and then I'll repopulate the earth myself. Anyways,

68
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: interesting times over there. Elon Musk continues to be terrifying

69
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: and also uncool at the same time. Powerfully uncool, powerfully uncool.

70
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: Like Elon Musk is so uncool he makes bezos look

71
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 3: slightly more cool than he is writting compared when they're

72
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 3: standing next to each other, You're like, oh yeah, like

73
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: Bezos is the cool one out of this swag. He's

74
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 3: he's he comes off cooler than Zuck or Elon somehow

75
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,119
Speaker 3: because they're so lame.

76
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 2: There is also, of course, that clip of Zuck uh

77
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: oh with the boobs, Yeah, looking down at some boobs

78
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: and then smiling like truly, just like a fucking seven

79
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: year old, how do you how do you look at

80
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: boobs and then like just can't stop yourself from smiling

81
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: over the age of the headline I was trying to

82
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: recreate is uh. I knew one day I'd have to

83
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: watch powerful men burn the world down. I just didn't

84
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: expect them to be such losers. That is from Rebecca

85
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: shaw great headline.

86
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: They should have never gave these nerds money. They should

87
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: have never gave.

88
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: These nerds money. We need to stop letting white people

89
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 2: do this shit. Was is a line from tomorrow's episode

90
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 2: that paulave Gonalin says that I think is just a

91
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: good thesis for the coming years. All right, Uh, it's

92
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: kind of impossible to keep track of all Trump's bullshit

93
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: right now. So we'll just like kind of take our

94
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 2: time look at like a thing at a time, specifically crypto.

95
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: The crypto bros. How are they dealing with all this? Yeah,

96
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: so he just pardoned Ross Olbricht, who was the guy

97
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: behind Silk Road. Silk Road was the you know dark

98
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: web marketplace where you could buy drugs, and you know,

99
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: as as cool as that might sound, he did it

100
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: while using a pseudonym lifted from the Princess Bride. He

101
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 2: called himself dread Pirate Roberts. But like libertarians and crypto

102
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 2: enthusiasts were very adamant that Trump pardoned this guy on

103
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: day one when Trump in order to secure their votes.

104
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 2: Remember there's like a point during the election where he

105
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 2: like went to the libertarian.

106
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, didn't they boo him? They did?

107
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: But then he like one of the things he said

108
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 2: he'd do was pardon this guy on day one. Day

109
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: one came and went. People were like, what the and any.

110
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 3: Other places you can get kead of me? And guys,

111
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 3: I don't know, you need to Yeah.

112
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 2: Just ask you La Musk. We were speculating does he

113
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: take the like drugs that you just take as an

114
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: eye dropper? Like that? I feel like that's the thing.

115
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 3: I feel like rich people don't don't like people drugs

116
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 3: in a regular way.

117
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he doesn't have in his and he's like

118
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: using his car keys.

119
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: To take I feel like rich people don't do powdery drugs.

120
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 3: They're like, no, my mucous membranes are too rich for this.

121
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 2: You know, people who are like terminal with cancer have

122
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: like pain drugs that are like pumped into them via

123
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: a like automated, like en surgically inserted machine in their body.

124
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: I feel like he probably has.

125
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: That, just because I remember, like, I feel like Madison

126
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: Cawthorn when he was snitching on everybody.

127
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: I feel like he said, they're doing cocaine through their

128
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: eyeballs with eye.

129
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: Drops, which god, that must have seemed so strange to him.

130
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: A total like rube from the city. He's like guys. Anyways,

131
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: he got booted the fuck out of there.

132
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: Anyways.

133
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: Also, the Silk Road guy, like this is I didn't

134
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: realize this. I've seen this story covered in a couple

135
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: of places. But he was also I guess. I guess

136
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: it wasn't the primary thing he was being held for,

137
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 2: but he did try to murder multiple people. He kept

138
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: trying to hire assassins, who, as we've learned many times,

139
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: hit men don't really exist. They're just undercover federal agents

140
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: trying to trick you. And he kept hiring hitman and

141
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 2: they were like staging the murders to make him think

142
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: that he had killed the people, Like they would like

143
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: show him photographic evidence that the people were killed, and

144
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: then he would like hire them for more murders and

145
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: like that somehow wasn't the thing that he was being

146
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 2: held on. But he thought he fully believed he had

147
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: murdered multiple people and was like, yes, I would like

148
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: to order three more murders please.

149
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 3: I would feel really uncomfortable, like having like a task

150
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 3: rabbit hit man that I like keep hitting up, like

151
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 3: you either have a goon on staff or you keep

152
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 3: switching it up. I feel like I don't know if

153
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 3: I can trust a task rabbit assassin.

154
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. I've always said that, Brian, I said, you have

155
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: to you know, you have to go with people you trust.

156
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: Your personal rescucations is the only way to hire a hitman.

157
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 2: But anyway, so he you know, in addition to being

158
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: what would appear to be like a cold blooded murderer

159
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: and having made millions of dollars off of what was

160
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 2: basically Kigigi for children curious about meth. He was pardon

161
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 2: by Trump and people like so crypto people are still

162
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 2: They funded ten million dollars for his inaugural fund. They

163
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: paid Snoop to play at the pre inauguration, which I

164
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: did you know that Snoop performed at the pre inauguration

165
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: crypto ball.

166
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 3: Yes, I couldn't help, but hear about it and was

167
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 3: immediately shown the tweet where he was asking like which

168
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 3: one of you basically like asking like which one of

169
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 3: you rappers is going to end up performing for Trump?

170
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 3: Like like which one you don't? That a long time ago,

171
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: a long time ago. And people immediately pulled up that

172
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: receipt and it's like it's you bro, You're the dumb

173
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 3: fuck is gonna take you know, bag over everything, bag

174
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 3: above all. You know, I'm not surprised about you know

175
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 3: what was this Soldier boy.

176
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 2: Or yeah, soldier Boy was was like actively lobbying Trump.

177
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 3: But like, I mean, doesn't surprise me either, because he's

178
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 3: a rapacious capitalist.

179
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: So a lot of successful people are. It turns out

180
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: that's how.

181
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 3: He's not a rapper anymore. It's like he hasn't. He's

182
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 3: a mascot for him, Yeah, more than a rapper these days.

183
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: He is to rap what Donald Trump is to business people.

184
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 2: He's a person who is the symbol of something that

185
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: they were once involved with. But anyways, uh, people are

186
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 2: also in within the crypto world. They seem to not

187
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 2: be too impressed with Donald Trump's big meme coin offering.

188
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: So like, I don't know shit about the crypto world,

189
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: but apparently meme coins are viewed as like inere thing

190
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: because they're just like they're kind of like something you

191
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 2: would create to satirize cryptocurrency.

192
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: Well, there's there's two varieties of maame coins.

193
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 3: There's what you just said, and then it's either that

194
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 3: or it's a complete fucking pump and dump scam. And

195
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 3: a lot of the the crypto evangelists, like the people

196
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 3: who really who really like I was, I just happen

197
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 3: to like sometimes I'll go on those stupid like the

198
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: news apps on your browser where it's just a bunch

199
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 3: of advertisements and weird shit, and I clicked on this

200
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 3: crypto thing, and they're like, uh, sheba e new coin

201
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 3: is on pace to hit point zero zero three cents

202
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 3: within the next ten years, within the next ten years,

203
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 3: and that is those people must really believe in the

204
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 3: long game, so that there's this schism in the crypto community.

205
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 3: I imagine where some people are believe this is the

206
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 3: future still somehow, and you know, everybody else is like, well,

207
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 3: it's fucking it's free real estate, let's get this money,

208
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 3: let's scam people. And yeah, I can imagine that pissing

209
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 3: off these delusional people.

210
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 2: They put a ton of money into like getting him

211
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 2: into office so that he would do legislation and executive

212
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: orders that would make it easier for them to do crypto,

213
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 2: you know, the seemingly legitimate scare quotes crypto, and then

214
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 2: he immediately does the pump and dump skis immediately is

215
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: just like I'm gonna make as much money as I

216
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 2: can and then just.

217
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 3: It's no different from what Hawk to A did or

218
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: that Paul brother or whatever, like yeah, yeah, there were

219
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 3: like meme shirts on the Jersey shore boardwalk.

220
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 2: They were like Hawktua for President twenty twenty four, and

221
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: it's like that's basically what we got, Like that's it's

222
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: just a fucking just a meme figurehead guy, Like that's

223
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: I mean, not we got much worse, obviously, but people

224
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 2: are saying it was embarrassing and it's filling them as

225
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 2: crypto people with dread. But I don't know you call it.

226
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: One crypto engineer claimed that Trump's meme coin made him

227
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 2: question if he wants to be involved with crypto at

228
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: all anymore, and complained that he doesn't know how to

229
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 2: explain the last few days in crypto to his children.

230
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 2: Which that's the thing.

231
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 3: When you have something like crypto, you have the fantastical

232
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 3: appeal of like this will bring forth a new era

233
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 3: of whatever the fuck they think is gonna happen with crypto. Yeah,

234
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 3: but it also just happens to be a perfect way

235
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 3: to scam people in lounder money, Like there's gonna be

236
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 3: a little friction just.

237
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 2: Happens to be by accident, as a totally accidental byproduct

238
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: of this legitimate thing that we've made. It does seem

239
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 2: like they object to because Superducer Victor is like, oh,

240
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: this is where they draw the line the Nazi shit. Yeah,

241
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 2: it does seem like they're reacting. They're drawing the line

242
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 2: on the on the cryptocurrency more than the Nazi stuff.

243
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, that that seems to be. Everybody's just like,

244
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 2: we're going to run this country like a business, and

245
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: that's going to be a good thing, and that what

246
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 2: it's always been to me. All Right, take a quick

247
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 2: break and we'll be back to talk about movies and

248
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 2: Netflix and McDonald's and all all the fun stuff. We'll

249
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: be right back.

250
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: Ed we're back.

251
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: And how are you on cult movies? Brian? Do you

252
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 2: like cult movies? Do you like clotes in general?

253
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 3: Just just so happens, cult movies are one of my

254
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 3: favorite genres of film.

255
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: I've seen all the cult movies.

256
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 3: If it's got a cult in it or anything thing

257
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 3: to do with psychedelics and cults, I've seen it.

258
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 2: What so, all right, but what are what are some

259
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: cult movies?

260
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 3: Like?

261
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: What?

262
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: What?

263
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 2: What are your top cult movies.

264
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: In recent years?

265
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 3: Us? No, that's I don't really take that movie to

266
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 3: super literally, okay, sure, Like I don't put it in

267
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 3: the category of I mean, I totally see, like the

268
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 3: visuals of it does have like a cult kind of thing,

269
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 3: but I don't consider that like a cult movie as such.

270
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 3: I like stuff like The Wicker Man. Both of them

271
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 3: there different reasons, obviously. Yeah, Mid Midsommar is probably the

272
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 3: most recent one where I'm like, I actually kind of.

273
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 2: Like low key fuck with that cult a little bit,

274
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 2: but they've got some points. I still haven't seen Midsummer

275
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: and I need to.

276
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 3: I think that the way things are structured in the

277
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 3: Midsommer cult is kind of interesting.

278
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: Man. I wish I could to dive into this more,

279
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: because I'm sure they are all sorts of problematic things

280
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: underlying what you're saying here, Like I just kind of.

281
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: Fuck with the way that they respect. Oh yeah, I'm

282
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: sad problematic. You guys don't even know.

283
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 2: So all right, well, we have a new cult. Like

284
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: we've been talking before about how cult based content, we

285
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: got a lot of reality shows, reality series about cults,

286
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: like over the past, you know, three or four years,

287
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: perhaps owing to the fact that interesting cults tends to

288
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: grow during periods of larger existential questioning. And so I

289
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: think it's worth mentioning that the trailer for Oputh just dropped.

290
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 2: Iowa Deboire's new movie. She's from the Bear and just

291
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: a really funny comedian and like really good actor, and

292
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: she plays a journalist who visits a remote compound belonging

293
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: to a reclusive pop star played by John Malkovich and

294
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: it turns out it's a cult I'm remembering now Marcy

295
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 2: Martha May Marlene. Have you seen that one? No, Marcy Martin,

296
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: all right, that's a good Martha Marcy May Marlene is

297
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 2: a cult movie from like twenty eleven. It's the first

298
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 2: thing I saw.

299
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll check that out.

300
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 2: It's good, good cult movie. I enjoy it. But yeah,

301
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 2: I'm ready for a new cult movie, and this one looks.

302
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 3: Like it, especially with John Malkovich as the as the

303
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 3: head also, but it's kind of hard for me to

304
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 3: picture John Malkovich as a quote pop star.

305
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I could.

306
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 3: I could see him as like a Michael Franks type figure,

307
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 3: like a soft rock star, but not a pop star.

308
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be interesting, like how they Yeah, because he

309
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: doesn't have that classic pop star look necessarily.

310
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: No. Yeah, but yeah, I'm I'm on board.

311
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 2: Definitely on board.

312
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: He definitely cult.

313
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: Yes, it is a twenty four and the trailer is

314
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 2: a lot of fun. So Netflix is crushing it. I

315
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: just saw a headline that was like Netflix fucking blowing up, uh,

316
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 2: doing so good at the stock market, and so of

317
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 2: course they are going to make us all pay more

318
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 2: they are raising the PRISS on their ad free premium

319
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 2: plan to twenty four ninety nine a month, which that

320
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: is and for what what didn't it used to be

321
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 2: like it was like very recently. It was like in

322
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 2: the low teens, wasn't it.

323
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like they they feel like this was literally like

324
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 3: a year ago, like to the day, like they yeah,

325
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 3: they bumped it up to like I don't know, like

326
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 3: seventeen dollars or something stupid.

327
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is just the thing that I keep saying

328
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: about how there's no consumer, no voice for like the consumer,

329
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 2: the vast majority of the humans in this country have

330
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: absolutely no voice in this country. This is a great

331
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: and like we need like this is what Ralph Ralph

332
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: Nader's big you know, innovation was like a consumer advocate

333
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 2: who would stop car companies from killing people by being like,

334
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 2: could you put seatbelts in your cars? That would be cool,

335
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 2: just like really common sense ideas.

336
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 3: Maybe it's me because I did call the FCC on

337
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 3: Hulu one time, because I don't know if you ever

338
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 3: used the Hulu app, but you're watching a show on

339
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 3: Hulu and it's like you have the volume set and

340
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 3: you can hear the dialogue.

341
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: And then effects aren't too loud.

342
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, And when I say the ads damn near blew

343
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 3: out my speakers, I was so fucking mad. I was like,

344
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 3: there's there's a I think it's called the FCC mad Well,

345
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 3: I was called the FCC mad because there's there's a

346
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 3: law about loss.

347
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 2: They're not allowed to do that about.

348
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 3: The loudness of advertisements. And when I talked to the

349
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: people at the FCC, they were like, that only applies

350
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 3: to broadcast television, and I was like, I don't care

351
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 3: what fucking cable this show comes into my house on.

352
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: This is a legal like.

353
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 2: Because yeah, because we for a long time now the

354
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 2: only people with a voice or corporations, they can do

355
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 2: whatever the fuck they want. Anyways, they're in this feedback

356
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 2: loop where they can treat the consumer like shit by

357
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: like raising prices. They're like, okay, let's stress test these people,

358
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 2: see how much we can charge them for a thing.

359
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 2: And the feedback they get is that their stock price

360
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 2: goes up. So it's like a system that is built

361
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 2: specifically to reward people for treating the consumer like shit.

362
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it also ties into the whole thing of

363
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 3: like these companies which I can't remember Oh, it was

364
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 3: Adobe who got in trouble for making it really hard

365
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 3: to cancel your subscription, like they always hide it or

366
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: make the button really small. They make you click through

367
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 3: like five pages. I tried to quit Audible the other day.

368
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 3: I had to click through like five pages.

369
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: Like are you sure? But are you sure that you're sure?

370
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: Are you? Like?

371
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 3: What if we giving a discount, Like they won't let

372
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 3: you cancel shit. So yeah, a lot of people are

373
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 3: just going to be paying for Netflix and might not

374
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 3: even know that the price has gone up.

375
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: Yeah.

376
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 2: Last time prices were raised, people were like, that's fucked up.

377
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 2: One of the arguments that we heard back, presumably from

378
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 2: like a paid plant, was like, I'm sorry, you just

379
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 2: want to keep devaluing art and make it so we can't.

380
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: Oh weird devaluing art.

381
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're devaluing art by not wanting Netflix to raise

382
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 2: their prices at will, and then you know, get positive

383
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 2: feedback from raising prices. But anyways, in this case, it's

384
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 2: important to note that like their structure, like the what

385
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,479
Speaker 2: they're investig in going forward is NFL games and boxing

386
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 2: matches between sounds expensive terrible celebrities. Yeah, so that's that

387
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 2: is what you're subsidizing.

388
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: It's not art, it's CTE. Yeah, it's CTE.

389
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 2: There raising prices to invest in research into ct giving,

390
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 2: specifically how TV give it to around people. One of

391
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 2: the big reasons the subscriber boost happened in the first

392
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 2: place was because people wanted to see the second season

393
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: of Squid Game, so which sucked. I didn't see it,

394
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 2: but it's just fun to note that a anti capitalist

395
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: story about the horrors of exploiting the masses inspired the

396
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 2: corporation to jack up their prices. So that's where we're at.

397
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 2: It is so funny that the second season. Yeah, I'm

398
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 2: hearing like not great things about it. It's like when

399
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 2: they didn't know what they had, When Netflix didn't know

400
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 2: what they had and weren't paying any attention to squid Game,

401
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: it became like they made a really great season of TV.

402
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 2: Once they knew what they had.

403
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 3: It's like it got immediately made a game show and

404
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 3: of mediocre second season.

405
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyways, that's happening. They're raising prices and as long

406
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 2: as people don't cancel their Netflix subscriptions, they will keep

407
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 2: doing that and getting rewarded for it.

408
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 3: Let me just let me just throw in something here

409
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 3: just to make me seem even more problematic. Jack, everybody

410
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 3: just really evaluate what the fuck is on Netflix that

411
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 3: is that important to you. Where you can't learn how

412
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 3: to torrent? Okay, piracy is still very much alive and thriving.

413
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, just as the Pirate roberts, he's back out here.
