Just because they 28 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: lost one game doesn't mean all the nice memories from 29 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: along the westbolutely are invalidated.

I haven't seen it 53 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: because I don't want to look at the comments, but 54 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: I hear it's great, so you should watch it.

No, I've gotten so much better. I'm 64 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: really growing up. I can't. I just can't be bothered 65 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: with what people are. Although I was on the New 66 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: York Times TikTok yesterday, I have to encourage people to 67 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: see this because it's maybe the dumbest piece of media 68 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: about comedy I've ever seen in my life. Like, it's 69 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: just about what water bottles people have on stage. It's 70 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: like the most that's hard hitting journalism. I don't know 71 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: what you're talking about. And then I did read some 72 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: of those comments, because you know, TikTok comments are hilarious 73 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: a lot of the time, like even if you're getting roasted, 74 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: you're like, these kids are so fucking funny. But you 75 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,559 Speaker 1: know there were people that were just like, why aren't 76 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: people using reusable water bottles. I'm like, I I just 77 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: took the bottle that they handed me at the taping, right, 78 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: I didn't like call ahead to Comedy Central like I'm 79 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: gonna need a clean canteen on stage. It's just it's 80 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: the most insane thing. It's literally just about water in comedy, dude, 81 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: Are they trend chasing? Are they like? Oh, I feel 82 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: like they just gave one kid like a TikTok assignment 83 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: and he was like what about this? Right, It's like 84 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: he doesn't know anything about stand up, but he's just 85 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: noticed that we have water bottles sometimes and has a 86 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: bottled water company ever reached out to you and been like, 87 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: we would love you to influence for on our behalf 88 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: because I know kind of makes sense. It seems like 89 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: an everybods in community falling down on the job. Yeah, 90 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: maybe it's happened to other people. I might not be 91 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: is enough or according to this piece, I don't drink 92 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: enough water, maybe because they do clip out like the 93 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: Robin Williams special where he has like seventeen bottles of 94 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: water on the stage and they're like some comedians move 95 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: around a lot and they get really thirsty. I'm not 96 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: exaggerating this piece, by the way, but I don't move 97 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: at all, So I think one bottle is probably good 98 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: for the whole half hour. Like, there you go. I 99 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: don't know, it's wild, you have to go check it out. 100 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: I mean, no wonder these teams are so depressed about 101 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: climate change because all these comedians are not using reusable 102 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: water bottles. They're just chugging seventeen bottles of water on stage, 103 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: throwing them away, And look what it's done to our planet. 104 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: You know, I can't hear for a good time, Amy 105 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: not to watch you destroy the planet Earth. Well, what's 106 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: wild is in the last six months, I've been doing 107 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: a new bit about plastic bottles, and I'm like, oh, 108 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: you cut me, You cut me too Earth early with 109 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: this clip. Let me let's do a follow up in 110 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: a couple of months when that's when that's been taped. 111 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: So wild, the New York Times TikTok needs to get 112 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: up on their ship. I'm disappointed, and they're really trying. 113 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: All right, what is something you think is overrated? Radical honesty? Like, okay, 114 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: I don't know that. I think I think that we 115 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: can sometimes like put a lot of value on being 116 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: like honest for the point of being on for the 117 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: sake of being honest, And like, I don't I'm fine 118 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: with white lies, and like I would honestly rather have 119 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: someone be nice to me. I'd rather have you been nice. 120 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't like when people have a personality 121 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: like I just tell it like it is and they're 122 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: just mean, Yeah, I'm not into it. I think it's overrated. Yeah, 123 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: it's a lot, it's a lot of energy to be 124 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: around those. Yeah. Yeah, for your little experiment, I have 125 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: to like just gird myself for like the most uncomfortable 126 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: thirty minutes of my life, you know, like that exactly, Yeah, 127 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: it's it's it can be pretty selfish, right, yeah, exactly. 128 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: It's like you're, yeah, you're you're kind of pushing that 129 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: on someone else without necessarily their consent or they're asking 130 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: for it. I love it in small doses, though too. 131 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: I don't like, I don't think I could pull it 132 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: off as a as a lifestyle, like a twenty four 133 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: hour lifestyle. But having like this kind of came up 134 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: when we were talking. There's that the Cut article about 135 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: like new rules of etiquette, and one of them was like, 136 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: don't tell people who you think they look like. And 137 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: that's a perfect example. That is great advice for you. However, 138 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: if you have a look alike about me, I want 139 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: to know what it is desperately, even though I'm not 140 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: gonna like it, I'm I like that is an amazing 141 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: little glimpse into like how people see you when they 142 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: first see you. That like you'll never be able to 143 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: get other than that way, and it's like uncomfortable and 144 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: I don't want to know it all the time. But 145 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: I also have no idea like how people perceive me, 146 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: So like somebody who's practicing radical honesty, it's good to 147 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: like get get next to them for fifteen minutes. If 148 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: you're in the mood, you know, what, is there one 149 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: that sticks out in your mind of like a look 150 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: like that you got that that made you happy? John 151 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: Mayer made me happy. That's a good one, and then 152 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: Walton Goggins made me unhappy. I got Walton guns right. 153 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's a big ego boost and other times it's 154 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: it's crushing. I'm like, yeah, oh yeah, I don't want 155 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: to be I changed my whole life once someone told 156 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: me that I was a thing. It's irreparable damage. And 157 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: I think it's that thing of like you remember the 158 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 1: bad comments so much more than the good ones. It's 159 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: like one radically honest comparison to somebody you don't want 160 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: to look like. And yeah, you're on a whole new 161 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: life trajectory. Walton Goggins was not is not a bad 162 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: like looking guy or anything. It was just like the 163 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 1: it was a character that this person was like saying, 164 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: oh my god, you so remind me of them, and 165 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: like you look exactly like them, and it just wasn't 166 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: wasn't my favorite. So well, I don't see it if 167 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: Oh my god, thank you so much.

Yeah, like such a 171 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 1: Civil War soldier who died on the battlefield. Just incredible. 172 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: I was born to die on the battlefield, like a 173 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: Civil War battle. And this is all getting edited out, 174 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: but that's good. It's good. It allows me to get 175 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: to know you better. Mason. Mason wants something you think 176 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 1: is underrated, elastic in waste bands and socks, Okay, because 177 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: like it was I found out recently. It was invented 178 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 1: in like the thirties and forties. And I can't imagine 179 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: waking up every day and having tie my underwear on 180 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: and clip on sock garters and there's like nothing better 181 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: than I like tall socks and like that feeling when 182 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: you have a sock pulled all the way up is 183 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: just awesome. And I just feel like I haven't appreciated 184 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: that enough. Yeah, it's just they invented a thing that 185 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: hugs you. Yeah, and we take it for granted. But 186 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: like you know, it wasn't that long ago in the 187 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: thirties and forties when underwear literally had button and tie 188 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: buttons and ties on it. Yeah, it's amazing. It seems 189 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: these are my regular suspenders, and these are my underwear 190 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: suspenders and yeah, yeah, everything is just held up by 191 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: a series of clips. Yeah, that's amazing. The thirties and 192 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: like before that, Yeah, you see a lot of belts 193 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: and strange undergarments that look like you were in traction 194 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: like clothing. Yeah. Yeah, it also makes probably a little 195 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: down the road for you, but it makes getting your 196 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: kids dressed much easier. Getting kids dressed must have been 197 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: a night like that's why they just all wore like 198 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: a burlap sack back in the day. What, Perry, what 199 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: is something that you think is underrated? I'm also going 200 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: to go with a clothing item. Okay, So, and I 201 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: came to appreciate it recently because I just turned fifty 202 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: a few months ago and I remember back, probably when 203 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: I was Mason's age, somebody said, never skimp on anything 204 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: that separates you from the earth. And I've realized recently 205 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: that shoes and good shoes are way underrated. I want 206 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: to shoe with it, Like when I take it off 207 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I don't feel like 208 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: my back and my feet my legs are gonna, you know, 209 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: killing me. But I you know, I would maybe generalize 210 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 1: and just say anything that separates us from the ground, 211 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: that's a mattress exactly grounded. Um No, I think it was. 212 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: It was somebody that had way more money than me, 213 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: and he was talking about like why he bought a 214 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: really expensive car, so was justifying that He's like, anything 215 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: that separates me from the earth, I'm going to spend 216 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 1: a lot of money on so that it's it's reliable. 217 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: But I come to appreciate it with just like shoes, 218 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: I just wanted shoes that don't hurt. I just lost 219 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: a sneaker auction this morning, So I agree with you 220 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: trying to get trying to get those Jordans threes. The three. 221 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: The three is the white cement threes that they drive me. 222 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: I saw that. I saw that and I was like, 223 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: I Justin superser, Justin, Justin, Justin gets ever gets you 224 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: every the only person who actually gets like wins the sneaker. Oh, Justin, 225 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna Justin what's the address? Man? Yeah, you're just 226 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: gonna need to wear fourteen pairs of socks because he 227 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: wears like five size is bigger than any of us. 228 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: I love it. All Right, let's take a quick break. 229 00:13:53,160 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: We'll be right back. And we're back and yeah, So 230 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: Malcolm X's daughter, Elyatashabez filed notices stating her intention to 231 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: sue the FBI, CIA, MYPD for conspiring to assassinate her 232 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: father the like. There was a Netflix documentary that pointed 233 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: to the fact that two of the people who were 234 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: convicted of the of assassinating her father were not there 235 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: that day and so that they were eventually like the 236 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: the Innocence Project and a local DA I believe reopened 237 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: the case and you know, Muhammed Azi's and Khalil Islam 238 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: were cleared because there were just so much evidence that 239 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: they again were not there that day, weren't present or 240 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: murder the The keypiece of evidence that seemingly inspired the 241 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: new suit surface last year, and it is a letter 242 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: written by a now dead NYPD officer who confessed that 243 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: he had been compelled by his supervisors at the New 244 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: York Police Department to coax two members of Malcolm X's 245 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: security team into committing crimes, meaning they were in jail 246 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: during the event, allowing law enforcement agencies to murder Malcolm X, 247 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: which like, does sound like how police forces seem to operate. 248 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: Sounds very familiar. Yeah, like falsely accused and imprisoned somebody 249 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: so that you know, like I again, the details aren't 250 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: all there about like police officers walked up and like 251 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: pulled the trigger, but it seemed like they were told 252 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: this was going to happen. They didn't stop it. They arrested, 253 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: according to you know, this letter from an NYPD officer 254 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: who was like, yeah, just wait till I'm dead and 255 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: then you can release this. But they arrested parts of 256 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: a security team that would make it difficult for him 257 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: to be murdered. And then when it happened this officers 258 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: threatened to resign, but a supervisors told him that they 259 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: would charge him with false crimes if he did, which 260 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: again seems to be there m in this case. So yeah, 261 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: it's a mess. I just I remember when the article 262 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: came out about two of the three assassins being cleared 263 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: due to all of this evidence. The New York Times 264 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: article just like really seeming weird to me because like, 265 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: so it contains the sentence, nor did it uncover a 266 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: police or government conspiracy to murder him. But then later 267 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: it says mister Vince's reinvestigation, conducted with the Innocence Project 268 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: in the officer office of David Chanie, a civil rights lawyer, 269 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: contended with serious obstacles. Many of those involved in the 270 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: murder case, including witnesses, investigators, and trial lawyers, as well 271 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: as other potential suspects, did long ago. Key documents were 272 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: lost to time, and physical evidence such as murder weapons 273 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: were no longer available to be test to, which again, 274 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: like just that's super convenient for the police to lose 275 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: all that shit. Yeah, they are the custodians of that evidence, 276 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: but right like lost to time, Like who will somebody 277 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: in time lost them? It's just lost to time. We're 278 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and blame time on this one. Pass well, 279 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: you know, as what happens in Marvel movies, a portal 280 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: opens up and just and then the evidence it gets 281 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 1: lost in the space time continuum, and you know what happens. 282 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: And then so on top of all this ship there's 283 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: this part of the New York Times article that's like 284 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: buried down, you know, five six paragraphs. Time prosecutors notes 285 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: indicate they failed to disclose the presence of undercover officers 286 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: in the ballroom at the time of the shooting, and 287 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: police department files revealed that a reporter for the New 288 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: York Daily News received a call the morning of the 289 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: shooting indicating Malcolm X would be murdered. So there were 290 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: somebody who's like, hey, this is happening. They had undercover 291 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: officers there in like in the ballroom and managed to 292 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: like convict to people who weren't even there somehow, and 293 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: like didn't disclose that they were present for it. Like 294 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's a lot about her. Undercover officers 295 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: m works. But you're an undercover officer, you're in a ballroom, 296 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,439 Speaker 1: somebody dies, don't you then like out yourself as a 297 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: police and start investigating the situation right away if you're surprised, 298 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: unless you're right, Yeah, it's very suspicious. I'm glad that 299 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: she's bringing this case and yeah, I don't know. Well, 300 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 1: we'll see where it leads. Probably not in the New 301 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: York Times at least not until there's like irrefutable reporting. 302 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: But so that's I think, I don't know, hopeful news 303 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: that people will continue to get to the bottom of 304 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: this ship. May justice be served? Yeah, in uh well, 305 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: speaking of served, Starbucks has a secret weapon and it's oil. 306 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: Trans was a serve honest, Yeah, justice being served in 307 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: the assassination of MALGAMEX and then turning it over to Starbucks. Yeah, 308 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: that's great. It's it was. It was a transition as 309 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: smooth as olive oil, as olive oil blended into your coffee, 310 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: which is apparently a thing that Howard Schultz saw some 311 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 1: Italian people doing in Italy and was like that, we're 312 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: going to do that, and it's my idea. Essentially, Supposedly, 313 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: the olive oil creates a velvety, smooth, rich texture, with 314 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: the buttery, round flavors imparted by the olive oil perfectly 315 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: pairing with the soft chocolate e notes of the coffee. 316 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: I don't know which coffee they're talking about there, because 317 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: I've not tasted many soft chocolate e notes and Starbucks 318 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: coffee rarely soft hard cigarette, but hard burnt asque cigarette. 319 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: But maybe like if you have you ever accidentally eaten 320 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: like just the darkest unsweetened chocolate that like you can't 321 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 1: like your mouth just revolts and like just starts spitting 322 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: it out like that. I can see that maybe a 323 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: little bit, But I don't think of them as soft 324 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: chocolate e notes by any stretch. Well maybe either talking 325 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: about the frappuccino m M, yeah, the moca, they're soft 326 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: and chocolated when you put just a shitload of chocolate 327 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: ice cream, yea chocolate syrup soft. Yes. So Howard Schultz 328 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: visionary in his third term as the CEO of Starbucks, 329 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: this is the thing that like these CEOs who like 330 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: luck into having great success and then you know Eve 331 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: and people start treating them like human beings again, and 332 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: then they're like, actually, the person who I picked to 333 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: succeed me is a maniac, and I'm going to come 334 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 1: in and take that job back over. So he's in 335 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 1: his third spell as the CEO, but we need him because, 336 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: as he said, this is a transformational moment for the company, 337 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: which will they will bring together an alchemy of nature's 338 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: finest ingredients I mean, that's poetry, alchemy of nature's finest ingredients. 339 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: Here's what I will say. And let me preface this 340 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: by saying that I don't know anything about cooking or 341 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: making food or anything that you can consume. I'm famously, 342 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: very very bad at it. But I am really good 343 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: at eating food and enjoying one of the best thank you, 344 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: and enjoying tasty food. I don't see how the flavor 345 00:21:55,359 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: of olive oil could. I just feel like it wouldn't 346 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: compliment the soft chocolate notes of like of a good coffee. 347 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: And maybe I'm very wrong about this. I'm here for it. 348 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. I'm here like I am. I 349 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: if I see olive oil in like a dessert at 350 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 1: a restaurant, I'm always going to choose that dessert, like 351 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: I actually love. I had a gelato in Italy that 352 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: was like lemon olive oil basil, and I still think 353 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: about it. Oh my god, your bogies are just like spiking. 354 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm sorry. This is who I have dessert. 355 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: Even know this was an option for like for drinks, 356 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: for for desserts. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I think because 357 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,719 Speaker 1: it's not like salty but it kind of gives you 358 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: that like savory note that you want. It was like 359 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: a little something sweet. And and when that bulletproof coffee 360 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: trend happened, I love trendy stuff, so I tried that 361 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 1: for a while. And like the butter and coffee combo, 362 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 1: I kind of dug like a little bit of fat 363 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 1: in your coffee is kind of nice. Yeah, milk shouldn't 364 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: be the only fat that we're consuming our coffee. Yeah, 365 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: we should be putting ice cream. Also, thank you, Finally 366 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: someone's at it. Yeah, I actually have done that where 367 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: I didn't have any because I'm a big old baby. Also, 368 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: I think everyone's just learning that I am actually really 369 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: bad at eating food and I have horrible taste. But 370 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: I love the like whatever brand like coffee Mate, like 371 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: liquid non dairy coffee creamers that are just like so 372 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: sweet and it's like not even real. It's like chemicals 373 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: made in a lab. But I that's why I have 374 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: to drink my coffee adding so much of that. But 375 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: I didn't have any of that one time, And but 376 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: I did have vanilla ice cream, so I just added 377 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 1: a bunch of vanilla ice cream to my coffee. How 378 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: was it? And it was brave with me. Thank you. 379 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: It is here, so many temperatures in one cup. I 380 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: was yeah, was it good? Ye? It was it good. No, 381 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: it did not get well because it's not as good 382 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: as the coffee Mate is just like molecularly structured to 383 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: the second, like a drop like enters the coffee, it 384 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: immediately mixes at the perfect rd you know, exactly beautiful. 385 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: It's both that and climate change, Like we really have 386 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: to trust the scientists. Yeah, I don't know. I like 387 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: I have lost my nerve on coffee mate. I was 388 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: drinking so much coffee mate for a long time and 389 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: then I was just like, I have this is probably 390 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: bad for me.

I well, I like my coffee black, 393 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 1: which is why I'm like even entered hating the notion 394 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: of the olive oil thing, because that's about as like 395 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 1: sweet as I'll take it. But my dad, Caitlyn used 396 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: to mix. He used to scramble eggs. Yeah, my dad can. 397 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 1: He used to scramble that coffee meat stuff in with 398 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 1: our eggs, which sounds really fucking gross, but it's actually 399 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: because you know how it tastes good when you get 400 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: a little bit of maple syrup on your eggs. Yeah, yeah, okay, 401 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: it's like, oh my god. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised 402 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: if it like turned them into like a cloudy like 403 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: cotton candy style, like you know, just because there's like 404 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: so much scientific engineering in that that like you just 405 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: like heat that and suddenly it turns into the alien 406 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: spaceship from Nope, it's just like this beautiful like yeah, wow, 407 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: that's I won't try that, but I admire your dad 408 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:56,479 Speaker 1: Caitlyn's bravery. Yeah, so shout out to my dadit your 409 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: dad's name is Caitlyn, or if you have multiple Caitlyn's 410 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: in your life and there's the dead Caitlin and then 411 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: the other Caitlin's, just based on how you were saying it. 412 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: But can it be both? Yeah, I mean this is 413 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: based on an actual Italian trend that Haward Schultz saw 414 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: and so so like it's probably it probably can be good, 415 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 1: you know. It's just this doesn't seem to be the coffee. No. 416 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: I think you're right though, Like you're right, the Starbucks 417 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: are not the right hands for this, Like I would 418 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: trust it at intelligence. Yet, even though I do think 419 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 1: intelligency is very overrated, I would trust olive oil coffee 420 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: more in their hands. Yea intelligence Ya seems about right 421 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: for you. Like I just I admire, like the consistency 422 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: and specificity of your taste. When is coffee being gonna 423 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 1: step up their game and start putting? I don't know, 424 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: coffee being. No one ever talks about coffee bean, is 425 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Everyone's like, oh, Starbucks, this, Starbucks that.

And I feel like coffee being because 427 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: I think they peaked in two thousand and six, like 428 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 1: every celebrity was always getting coffee being in two thousand 429 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: and six. Yeah, and then they fell into over That's 430 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 1: what happened. God bless Dunkin Donuts.

Yeah, it's it's cute, it is. 433 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: It's I kind of fell off Ben Affleck for a 434 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: minute until he got back together with Jlo and Duncan. 435 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: Oh man, he should not fight his roots. Yeah, but 436 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: they just say with regards to the you know, exchange 437 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: of ideas between Starbucks and Italy as a nation, like 438 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: star Starbucks takes their ideas. Italy does not want to 439 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: take any of Starbucks. They did. They flopped big time 440 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: over there, so you can't imagine. Yeah, why would you 441 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,719 Speaker 1: ever got in Italy? Right, it's truly like you just 442 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: want to see all of the American tourists in Italy. 443 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: You go, you go to the Starbucks. But yeah, it's 444 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 1: like shocking to see a Starbucks in another country. I 445 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: feel like, all right, Russell Crowe is the Pope's exorcist, 446 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: so prepared, it's about time, thank you. So this is 447 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 1: the trail dropped I recommend. Yeah, I mean I actually 448 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: don't like you. You could totally miss this, I will 449 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: tell you. The important thing is that he does say 450 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,719 Speaker 1: if you have a problem with me, take it up 451 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: with my boss, the Pope. But there's also so like 452 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: our writer JM kind of did a dive into this 453 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: because this is based on a real character, as like 454 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: all the exorcism movies are like this based on actual 455 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: events in the spookiest year nineteen eighty seven, and this 456 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: person is like a real like he created the NBA 457 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 1: of exorcists, like and you know they've got like a 458 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: team yeah, yeah, it's it's like the official League of 459 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: Let let me see if I can find the name 460 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: of it. But like it's he's like, you got to 461 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: be a certified exorcist, the League of Extraordinary Exorcist. Yes, exactly, 462 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: but he so. In addition to being like Pope John 463 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: Paul the seconds number one bottom bitch exorcist, he is 464 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:45,479 Speaker 1: also like a like a right wing political commentator or 465 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: like cultural commentary commentator. The movie portrays him as like 466 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: a superhero battling demon children, but in real life he 467 00:29:54,600 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: has blasted the evils of nightclubs, Harry Potter, and yoga, 468 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: which he claims yoga. I'll read some direct quotes for 469 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: you from this man. Practicing yoga brings evil, as does 470 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: reading Harry Potter. They may both seem innoculous, but they 471 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: both deal with magic, and that leads to evil. Yoga 472 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: is the devil's work. You think you are doing it 473 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,479 Speaker 1: for stretching your mind and body, but it leads to Hinduism. 474 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: All these Oriental religions are based on the false belief 475 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: of reincarnation and then, oh goodness. In Harry Potter, the 476 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: devil is at work in a cunning and crafty way 477 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: he is using his extraordinary powers of magic and evil. 478 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: And then this is my favorite. My advice to young 479 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: people would be to watch out for nightclubs because the 480 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: path is always the same. Alcohol, sex, drugs and satanic sects. 481 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: Sex and sex, yeah, sex sects, the path. That path 482 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: is always the same. It's all. I feel shorthanded because 483 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: I didn't do a nightclub I've done. I've done three 484 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: of those things and never got invited to the Satanic sect. Seriously, 485 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: I did all these things. Yeah, yeah, nothing, nothing, I 486 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: just say so. His name is Father Gabriel amph Morph, 487 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: which sounds to me, you know, in like exorcism movies 488 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: where someone's being possessed and then like the demon or 489 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: the devil is speaking through the body that they're possessing, 490 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: and they're like, like, Jessica isn't here anymore.

It's not about the Russian inventor of the 596 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,320 Speaker 1: game so much as it is about the Dutch video 597 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: game design miner who bought it and introduced it to 598 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,360 Speaker 1: Western audiences.

You can see 605 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: that very easy, highly possible. Yeah. I starts speeding up, 606 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: which taught us to, you know, be wary. I just 607 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 1: got a gun to the audience fast. You'll never get 608 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 1: a flat boy. Yeah yeah, actually the Russian version that 609 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 1: there is no flat boys. Yes, yeah, yeah, they're all 610 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:56,759 Speaker 1: equally sized. Yeah yeah. But it's the story of like 611 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 1: him basically licensing Tetris. It seems to be the sounds fun. Yeah. 612 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: I like that. I like contract law and it reminds 613 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 1: me of this like analysis that Malcolm Gladwell, my king, 614 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 1: but the only person who I go to when it 615 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 1: comes to intellectual discourse. Yes, recommendation on private jets to 616 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: take absolutely yeah. He was on the low lead express 617 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,360 Speaker 1: play lugs, but he did do he did do a 618 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 1: story about like he he likes to read those CEO 619 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,640 Speaker 1: biographies and he's like when you actually look at how 620 00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 1: they tell the story, it's like this heroic singular CEO's 621 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,879 Speaker 1: hero's journey through like the heart of darkness to like 622 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 1: everybody tells me can't do it, and it's only his 623 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,239 Speaker 1: idea and like he you know, triumphs over evil to 624 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: increased shareholder value or whatever the fuck, and like when 625 00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:00,120 Speaker 1: you actually look at what they do, it's just, you know, 626 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:04,319 Speaker 1: like a series of very mundane and predatory decisions that 627 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 1: they make. They find one thing that they can exploit 628 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,880 Speaker 1: and then exploit it over and over and over again 629 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,919 Speaker 1: until they're billionaires. It's just like very wrote and mechanical 630 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 1: and like uninteresting, but they find ways. Like there's a 631 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: whole section of your local bookstore that is these retcond 632 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 1: stories that like turn the narrative of how this person 633 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:32,759 Speaker 1: built a unnatural, immoral amount of wealth, like turned it 634 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: into like a hero's journey. And that's what this sounds like. 635 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,359 Speaker 1: Like the guy did have to go back like make 636 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 1: friends with the inventor of tetris and you know, get 637 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 1: get interrogated by some Soviet diplomats, but in the end 638 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,879 Speaker 1: they were like, we kind of like this guy, well, 639 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: we'll let him have the have the rights because that's 640 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 1: how business work. And they're turning it into like this 641 00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 1: spy thriller where he like steals it, you know, Jesus, 642 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,800 Speaker 1: I imagine because there's sometimes there's a premise so boring 643 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 1: that you're like, well, if they're making it, it's gotta 644 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 1: be good, right, you know, right, you know what I mean, 645 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 1: because there's not the only thing that's holding it together 646 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:17,399 Speaker 1: at this point is the IP of Tetris, which I mean, 647 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,640 Speaker 1: maybe we live in that world now where that alone 648 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 1: is enough to sell the movie. But I can't imagine 649 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:29,319 Speaker 1: that it's not like really good, like at least as 650 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 1: a script, Like it's like, oh no, this is a 651 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 1: fun thing because we're missing something. We're missing because there's 652 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:40,839 Speaker 1: definitely something there. There's no way it can't be that. 653 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:47,719 Speaker 1: It sounds it sounds so boring. Dog. I mean, I 654 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 1: would I would say that about like movies where the 655 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 1: thing is getting made with no IP attached, But like this, 656 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: I feel like, probably like there's been rumors of a 657 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,760 Speaker 1: Tetris movie for a number of years, and like I 658 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 1: feel like the assignment came before the movie, before this premise, 659 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,839 Speaker 1: like they were like, all right, Tetris is a thing 660 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,879 Speaker 1: that everybody cared about. That. Like, I've never been so 661 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,880 Speaker 1: aware that my brain was being rewired as I was, like, 662 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,839 Speaker 1: I don't know what it did to it, but like 663 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 1: when I would play Tetris on the game Boy and 664 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 1: then like close my eyes hours later and I would 665 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,919 Speaker 1: see Tetris. I would see Tetris and I would play 666 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,280 Speaker 1: Tetris in my head and I'd be like, this can't 667 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 1: be healthy. I certainly have other thoughts, like I hungry. Yeah, 668 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:37,360 Speaker 1: like the it's that being on a boat and skiing 669 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,920 Speaker 1: are the only things that have ever like rewired things 670 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 1: so much that like I closed my eyes and I 671 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:48,920 Speaker 1: can't undo whatever that did to my brain. Yeah yeah, yeah, no, 672 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,680 Speaker 1: it's but but but the thing is is they're definitely 673 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,640 Speaker 1: taking multiple pitches. You know, they're taking a lot of 674 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:59,800 Speaker 1: pitches with this, like Tetris ip and so I imagine 675 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 1: for them to choose the most boring sounding one that 676 00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 1: they're like, oh no, this is this is there's something there. Yeah. Yeah, 677 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,160 Speaker 1: it feels like they're doing a clean sweep through my child, 678 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,720 Speaker 1: like Mario is coming out in a like six months 679 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 1: then Tetra. It's just like a clean sweep through, like 680 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,680 Speaker 1: the things that I cared about at age seven to eight. 681 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:25,719 Speaker 1: You know, yeah, they're just coming through weird. Al Yankevic 682 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,839 Speaker 1: just had a movie that was Yeah, that was big 683 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 1: for me at that period. What actor is going to 684 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:34,879 Speaker 1: play crash Bandicoot? Do you think that's the question, because 685 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,759 Speaker 1: is he gonna take that too? Sorry? What are you 686 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 1: gonna say, Blake? I don't I don't remember, but I 687 00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 1: think it was. Oh no, I do so I believe 688 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,319 Speaker 1: there was like maybe as a someone who wants to 689 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:50,839 Speaker 1: come off as intelligent and fails almost unilaterally. But I 690 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,000 Speaker 1: remember there was one movie I don't remember the name 691 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,880 Speaker 1: of it, but it sounded so fucking boring and it 692 00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,719 Speaker 1: won all these awards. All every smart person was like, 693 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 1: this is a genius movie. And ever since then, I'm like, 694 00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,840 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be tricked again. If a movie sounds boring, 695 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,080 Speaker 1: it must be to what Matt was saying, it must 696 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,959 Speaker 1: be a brilliant film. So I will not go out 697 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 1: on a limb and say this will be bad, because 698 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,360 Speaker 1: I can't be fooled again. I won't be publicly fooled 699 00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,839 Speaker 1: about this, but it's gonna suck. Well, what's the movie 700 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,799 Speaker 1: you're referring to? Specifically? You know what would be make 701 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,799 Speaker 1: great podcasting is if I remember the name of it. 702 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,720 Speaker 1: But unfortunately, do you remember, don't even remember what happened, 703 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 1: didn't Yeah, you just remember the sensation of being like, 704 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:36,240 Speaker 1: that's gonna be boring as shit. Was it the Constant Gardener? 705 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,360 Speaker 1: Because we've talked about this, we're talking about the constant Gardener. 706 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,359 Speaker 1: It sounds boring as ship, but it's not at all 707 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,560 Speaker 1: about constantly gardening. Yeah, it's not about somebody who just 708 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,279 Speaker 1: is really into gardening. No, it's it's about like, uh, 709 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,839 Speaker 1: what the fuck was that about? There's like a pharmacooal 710 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:56,319 Speaker 1: and stuff. Yeahay, intrigues happening in Africa? Is it's in 711 00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 1: Africa somewhere, And there's a song that's like yay yah 712 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:07,920 Speaker 1: yeah yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. 713 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,000 Speaker 1: I knew we were gonna end up end up with 714 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:19,000 Speaker 1: this story sing this song from right. So I'm gonna 715 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,120 Speaker 1: keep talking, but I want you to do that under 716 00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,360 Speaker 1: me talking. I think that's gonna like give kind of 717 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:30,560 Speaker 1: a fun, like it's a big spiritualist vibe. Oh yeah, yeah, 718 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 1: I think the thing that I object to is, sorry, 719 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:37,400 Speaker 1: the hero of this story is not like a person. 720 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 1: It is just a lawyer story of capitalism as it happened, Like, 721 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,279 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's a it's a bummer. Like it 722 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,960 Speaker 1: makes sense because we are in a country where the 723 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,680 Speaker 1: mainstream media treats the destruction of a seven to eleven 724 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 1: front window as more serious than the like violence done 725 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 1: to black bodies. So like it makes sense to me 726 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 1: that this is just like where they think our values are. 727 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,960 Speaker 1: And maybe they're right, but it's just I don't know. 728 00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 1: Human stories used to be bigger than like a story 729 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:17,279 Speaker 1: of how Tetris got licensed. And yeah, you know, if 730 00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,719 Speaker 1: if somebody told me that this end this ends up 731 00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,880 Speaker 1: being really good, I wouldn't be shocked, I guess. Yeah. 732 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 1: I mean here's the thing. Brands, that's all we got now, 733 00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 1: dog thank you, like thank you, wake up and smell 734 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 1: the Folgers coffee specifically or Blue Bottle. Yeah, you know, 735 00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:42,640 Speaker 1: because the brands there are there are there are Overlords Bottle, Liberal, 736 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:48,520 Speaker 1: Blue Bottle. You know, like the brands are they are 737 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 1: our overlords, they are our bosses. They are fires because 738 00:47:54,440 --> 00:48:00,799 Speaker 1: I drank black Rifle coffee to exactly to let people 739 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,520 Speaker 1: I know I finished sentences, or I respond to people 740 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 1: finishing sentences by saying fuck yeah brother, yeah exactly. I mean, 741 00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,280 Speaker 1: you know, it's a way, it's your lifestyle. It's everything 742 00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,960 Speaker 1: is brands here, so you know you gotta get with 743 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,319 Speaker 1: it start, you know, brand brand, You gotta get good 744 00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 1: brand brain. I got brand brain, and I'm cool with 745 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:27,920 Speaker 1: brands now, that's right. Another brand story feels like it's 746 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:32,400 Speaker 1: working from the same currency of like what if people 747 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,719 Speaker 1: do thing to brand? And by the way, we are 748 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,680 Speaker 1: recording this on Friday, so if important news has happened 749 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:44,920 Speaker 1: over the weekend, doesn't matter nothing. Another spy balloon okay, yeah. 750 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:49,240 Speaker 1: I also just realized we're off on Monday, so oh man, yeah, 751 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 1: sorry if yeah, if we've missed a bunch. But we're 752 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:57,040 Speaker 1: talking about this, it's going to be great work anymore. 753 00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:02,720 Speaker 1: He wants to work, and that is what we're talking about. 754 00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:08,279 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to work anymore anymore. Thank you, Blake. There's 755 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,760 Speaker 1: also the Winnie the Pooh horror movie that we talked about. 756 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:16,680 Speaker 1: It was basically Winnie the Pooh's copyright lapsed after one 757 00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:20,400 Speaker 1: hundred years after the first so they can so anyone. 758 00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,839 Speaker 1: It's up for grabs, it is, but it's only the 759 00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:27,400 Speaker 1: first book, which only included Piglet and Winnie the Pooh 760 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:32,880 Speaker 1: and no Tigger. It's it's Seinfeld without Kramer. So yes, okay, 761 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:37,880 Speaker 1: Tiger was Cramer. That was true. It's airtight. Yeah, no 762 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,719 Speaker 1: red shirt because that was actually a Disney addition to 763 00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:47,120 Speaker 1: the branch who is just butt naked. Yeah, I mean 764 00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:51,120 Speaker 1: it could be. But so basically, a UK filmmaker who 765 00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 1: until recently worked for an electricity supplier full time while 766 00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,359 Speaker 1: making micro budget horror films on the side, happened upon 767 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:03,480 Speaker 1: this idea and realized that the Winnie the Pooh copyrite 768 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,959 Speaker 1: was gonna lapse. Made this movie. It's called Winnie the Pooh, 769 00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,320 Speaker 1: Blood and Honey. It is. I'm okay with this. Actually 770 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 1: apparently it's very bad. Apparently not good. Well, I mean 771 00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:20,200 Speaker 1: people are saying it's amateurish, sloppy and quote embarrassingly bad. 772 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:27,759 Speaker 1: But this is who who's saying that. Yeah, but it 773 00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,360 Speaker 1: depends which ones because at this point, it like I 774 00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,919 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if if all the like the ones 775 00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:36,279 Speaker 1: that are like Marvel, the ones who are bought out basically, yeah, 776 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 1: are just like Disney told us to say it was bad, right, yeah. Yeah. 777 00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,520 Speaker 1: The same filmmakers are also working on horror takes on 778 00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:48,040 Speaker 1: Bambi and Peter Pan. So it feels like this is 779 00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,240 Speaker 1: the opposite side of the coin of like Hero's Journey, 780 00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:55,520 Speaker 1: where the hero is the acquisition of the rights to 781 00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,920 Speaker 1: distribute Tetris on Game Boy. This is the opposite where 782 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,160 Speaker 1: it's like the ultimate violence that you can do in 783 00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:07,040 Speaker 1: our like cultural mindscape is to make Winnie the Pooh 784 00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:12,120 Speaker 1: a real edge lord sick fuck. Yeah, you know, like 785 00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:16,440 Speaker 1: this is the ultimate meaning yeah, Winnie the Ship. Yeah, 786 00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:21,120 Speaker 1: we're not saying no. I feel like this is a 787 00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,440 Speaker 1: bummer because, like, I think there could have been an 788 00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,880 Speaker 1: interesting horror movie based on the fact that, first of all, 789 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:32,520 Speaker 1: each character in the Winnie the Pooh universe definitely represents 790 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:37,799 Speaker 1: a different like mental imbalance. Sure sure, Like so there's 791 00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:41,480 Speaker 1: something interesting there. There's also like Pooh is a glutton, 792 00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:47,480 Speaker 1: is depressed, seems high you or is suffers from depression. 793 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:52,400 Speaker 1: Piglet definitely suffers from like anxiety, like anxiety, Tigger Tigers 794 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 1: a tweaker. Yeah, or you know, he's like just manic. Oh, yeah, 795 00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,680 Speaker 1: that's true, he's so yeah Cramer. Yeah. But and then 796 00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:04,480 Speaker 1: there's also like the idea, So I guess the premise 797 00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:09,440 Speaker 1: of this is that Christopher Robin returns to the hundred 798 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:14,080 Speaker 1: Acre Wood like as an adult and like Pooh and 799 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:18,520 Speaker 1: Piglet have gone feral and like murdered all the other characters, 800 00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:23,120 Speaker 1: and like this idea of like children's imaginary imaginary friends 801 00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:26,560 Speaker 1: and like the imagination of children like that, like being 802 00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:30,600 Speaker 1: abandoned like that that is examined to great effect in 803 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,400 Speaker 1: like Inside Out and Toy Story three or four, like 804 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,640 Speaker 1: the toys being abandoned but never dying and just like 805 00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:41,800 Speaker 1: existing perpetually at the bottom of like a landfills stuck 806 00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:46,759 Speaker 1: in place. Yeah, is like dark and interesting and has 807 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,880 Speaker 1: been handled well. But this feels like they just like 808 00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:53,359 Speaker 1: turned it into an exploitation film. It's like a few 809 00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:57,040 Speaker 1: degrees away from just doing parody porn, which I'm I 810 00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,279 Speaker 1: think is fine. You know, if you're gonna if you 811 00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,680 Speaker 1: never said anything else, Yeah, yeah, there's nothing wrong.
