00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: You're like terminally online like some of us are, and

64
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: you you're kind of familiar with the semiotics of like

65
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: the far right, your start.

66
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: To be like what the fuck is this place?

67
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,320

00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: Uh.

00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 3: which is a dry ass pretzel or like basically what

77
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,000

Speaker 3: up and it snuck a package of Italian into this one.

82
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,800

86
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 3: I was expecting, but it was a very very interesting

87
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 3: time with very little good food.

88
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: And I was like, at the at the very least,

89
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: like if I go to like.

90
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,120

Speaker 3: cops and Johnsonville broughts.

93
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,719

94
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: Light that they're not like that seems like like does

95
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: bud Light taste different to people than Miller Light or

96
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: the other beers that are like water mostly water flavored.

97
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: I should have asked if I'm like, yo, is this

98
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: like like McDonald's sprite for cops?

99
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 2: You know, like you're like, man, just bud Light out

100
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,039

00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: have a thing like hitch hammer you over the head

104
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: with like the German Experience or whatever and it be

105
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 3: just like this very it was basically it's a carnival with.

106
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: Like sub Epcot level German Oh.

107
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 3: Not even don't even you know, Okay, I've never even

108
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 3: been to Epcot, but I've seen enough Disney Channel to

109
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: know how magical Epcot is.

110
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 2: It wasn't this.

111
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: It wasn't this.

112
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 3: It was like it was bud Light and a couple

113
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: people in later hosen or like wearing a dirndal.

114
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting. Like I went to October like Cincinnati

115
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: and southern Ohio has a large German population and they

116
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: goff for october Fest. But I am curious, like that,

117
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: what whether though, like as America kind of slides towards fascism,

118
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: if if October fests like take on a different meaning

119
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: where they can remember, yeah remember the good old days. Man,

120
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: it was a kind.

121
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 3: Of like hey German pride, huh, Like I some people

122
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 3: had that energy. Yeah, but yeah again, I think it's

123
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 3: like to your point, I think it's like anything right, Like, uh,

124
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: like a Korean street festival will go will be fucking

125
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 3: absolutely lit in La because we have like the biggest

126
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 3: Korea town in the country versus like what that might

127
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 3: be in another place. Was like maybe yeah, yeah, maybe

128
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 3: not so I'm sure, like you know, Zegang, let me know,

129
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 3: like if you have a like a lit October fest

130
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 3: that doesn't feel like the third and a half Reich.

131
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, or if it does, if you have a lit

132
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: one and it's just like even more.

133
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's so right. Yeah right, it's like three

134
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 3: k's in October.

135
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: Yeah. My my over is bugs. Bugs, but these things

136
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: out of here. Yeah. There's that TikTok video where a

137
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: guy celebrates like that crispness in the air that comes

138
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: that fall that sends quote bugs back to the hell

139
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: where they belong, and he's just like yeah, like he

140
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: made it up. But I enjoy I enjoyed it. That

141
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: That is kind of how a part of my brain

142
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: felt every fall when I was growing up on the

143
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: East Coast orally in a place with seasons, where it

144
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: was just like ah, yes and there they go.

145
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 3: All we can pray for is it gets cold enough

146
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 3: that the mosquitoes fucking subside. That's really like the one

147
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: thing I'm looking forward to with potentially the fucking temperatures

148
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,239
Speaker 3: dipping below eighty.

149
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we had a hard time.

150
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: We had a camping weekend, like I mentioned, for my kids' school,

151
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: and there was like some cycle of hot cold that

152
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: like hatched a bunch of winged insects that were so

153
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: horny for my eyes and mouth and ears, like just

154
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: they wanted to get into every hole of my head

155
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: that didn't have something covering it.

156
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: Jesus, So were you just wearing like a ski mask

157
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: to try to.

158
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: Well, I didn't pack a ski mask nor.

159
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 3: You know, always pack a scheme. Your dad taught you

160
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: that's why you always pack a ski mask.

161
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: But like everyone was walking around with their head just

162
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: being trailed by like a comet taiale of ten to

163
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: twenty flies and then you yeahing them away swatting them

164
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: away as they walk. Yeah. I asked the guy at

165
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: the front desk, like if he had any tips or like,

166
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, and he was just like, you know, I

167
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: live in the hills. I get a lot of them.

168
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: You just kind of become one with the bugs, like

169
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: I don't even really notice them anymore. And he had

170
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: like bugs swarming around his head. His entire face was

171
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: made of moving bugs. Yeah, it was like that nightmare

172
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: before Christmas.

173
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 3: Guy.

174
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: Once you took this soidey, you are right, it made

175
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: me feel like a failure because like because I wasn't

176
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: able to defeat them with just like sheer zen Buddhism

177
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: and just like, ah, they will not hurt me. But

178
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: like like yeah, that's also exactly what the bugs would

179
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: say if they had like broken into someone's brain like

180
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: they seemed to be trying to do with me, and

181
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: were like piloting them around, they would be like, no,

182
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: you just must it's still let them overtake you. It's jack.

183
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: It's forty eight thousand bugs in the shape of a

184
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 3: guy wearing clothes.

185
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: For sure. I had the thought at one point that

186
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: I was gonna wrap my head in toilet paper, like

187
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: I didn't seriously consider it, but I was like, I'm

188
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: going to go full invisible man on this, like that's

189
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: that is an option that has popped into my head

190
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: at this point.

191
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 2: So it oh, so it was really okay, okay, well,

192
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 2: you know it is. That's what happens sometimes.

193
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 3: I remember when I was like in Africa, I had

194
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 3: a similar situation because like Africa is just teeming with

195
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 3: life like everywhere, like from the plants that grow to

196
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: like the fact that there are bugs everywhere, And after

197
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 3: a week, I did become one with.

198
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 2: The bugs, like they just Yeah, it's weird.

199
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 3: I think it's truly like this thing where your sense

200
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 3: is just dull to it where you're like, dude, you're

201
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 3: not going to fucking make it if you're like yeah, yeah,

202
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 3: just be like they're gonna fucking And then in a way,

203
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was zen or just from

204
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 3: just being ground down the bugs, but.

205
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: Just like turn a week, brain figures out how to

206
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: turn that thing off. Yeah, whatever that is. It was

207
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: like inherently just like ah yeah.

208
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly to keep my ear where somehow, like I

209
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 3: think my ear either repelled the bugs or killed them.

210
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: I don't know what was going on.

211
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, you just become like a elephant or

212
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 1: like a horse, just like kind of lazily swatting at

213
00:10:58,880 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: the bugs.

214
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, every now and then, but like, yeah, sure a

215
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,599
Speaker 3: fly is gonna crawl on your fucking head.

216
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: And then it'll go, you know, it'll land on your

217
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: eyeball and crawl around there.

218
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: For lay some eggs, and I will faithfully take care

219
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 3: of the larvae.

220
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: Just become one with them. Let them take over. That's

221
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: coming out of your eye. Let's just fly larva. Sorry,

222
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: what's what's the thing is underrated?

223
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 3: Underrated, So the ability of children's sports to make me

224
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 3: into an asshole. I saw my nephew play Little League

225
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: over the weekend and it was a close game, but

226
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 3: I found myself fucking like wanting to talk shit to

227
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 3: the batters that he was facing on the mound like

228
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 3: he was pitching. And I was like, okay, full disclosure,

229
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 3: these kids are the oldest ten years old. Yeah, this

230
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: ten year old baseball, which isn't baseball. It's mostly called

231
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 3: like weaponizing your ability to predict like a fielding error,

232
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 3: to load the bases and steal bay. That's pretty much

233
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 3: all it is at that level. It's always just about

234
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 3: like yep, go steal second, yeah, the catcher drop.

235
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: You could just become completely unstoppable if you bunted every

236
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,479
Speaker 1: time because nobody can field whatsoever.

237
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: Oh And like I don't know if there's just something

238
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 3: for me like about sports, where like it just gives

239
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 3: me a reason to act like the stakes are so fucking.

240
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 2: Real and high.

241
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 3: And I obviously, I mean like I'm not yelling at

242
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: ten year old kids, Like I kept my mouth shut. Obviously,

243
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 3: it was just like you know, being cheerful and supportive.

244
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: But like there would be times like it would be

245
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 3: a full count, and in my mind, I was saying,

246
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 3: like shit in my head, like I wanted to be like, hey.

247
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: This kid scared together. Man, he ain't serious, he ain't serious.

248
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: You don't know what he's doing.

249
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 3: Just get it to the catcher He'll be shuffling back

250
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: to the dugout Like That's like it reminded me of

251
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 3: being in high school again, when like you could talk

252
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 3: fucking cash it like at his sports, like at an event,

253
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 3: and that was like the fun of it. And and

254
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 3: I realized I needed to just adjust my expectations. But

255
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 3: there were they're also like these parents they're like a

256
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 3: little too critical of their kids, like.

257
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: Oh, what's he do He's got his arms crossed.

258
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like and like the pictures like about to

259
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 3: throw and yeah, I guess he could like he's on

260
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 3: third if his arms are crossing, whatever, who gives a shit.

261
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 3: But then I just realized, I'm like, I was like

262
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 3: just I was becoming like one of those assholes who

263
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 3: isn't merely there to like support a loved one, like

264
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 3: you know, as they do something they enjoyed, but like

265
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 3: becoming one of these people who's like having their ego

266
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 3: live vicariously through a ten year old. Yes, that should

267
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 3: not have that responsibility ever, Yeah it's a lot.

268
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: And also stop living vicariously.

269
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: Through stopt vicariously through your children.

270
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, so that I learned a few lessons.

271
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 3: So it many many things were learned from that faithful

272
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 3: baseball game, Miles.

273
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: In many ways, children can be our best teachers. It's true.

274
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm uh yeah, no, I'm fully I have a hard time.

275
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: Like you know, my oldest plays chess a lot, and

276
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: just like watching his chest match chess, by the way,

277
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: something I'd never like played prior to a year ago.

278
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: But like now I'm like, oh, he's not, you know,

279
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: like on the inside, I'm just like so living and

280
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: dying with every move and it's absurd.

281
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 3: You're just reading the text recap of his chest game.

282
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 3: Kidding me, ma'am, but yeah, am I underrated. I think

283
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 3: I've done it before, but I gotta do it again.

284
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 3: The goddamn twelve foot hovering witch that I have in

285
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 3: my front yard.

286
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: That I got home depot. We have a story later

287
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: on about like the new hot operation. Yeah, big big

288
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: Halloween decoration, our new gods, and they mentioned the twelve

289
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: foot skeleton and they mentioned I guess I didn't realize

290
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: that there's a giant beetlejuice sandworm that you can put

291
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: in your front lawn, which looks fun. That one looks great.

292
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: It's oversized, for sure. It's a yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,

293
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: But I and they leave off the twelve foot hovering

294
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: which I just have to you know, first of all,

295
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: I was able to disassemble it at the end of

296
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: Halloween season last year, put it back in storage, take

297
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: it out of storage since we last spoke about it,

298
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: and put it back up. And she's she's out there

299
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: hovering off of my front lawn again with her shirt

300
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: inside out, because it turns out I put the shirt

301
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: on inside out and it's a tremendous pain in the

302
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: ass to undo that mistake. But fine, it's fine. But

303
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: the seams are showing.

304
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,440

00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: What are they saying? What are they saying about my witch?

315
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 2: But it's got the shirt's normal.

316
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: It's just it looks like it's inside out that she

317
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: meant to wear it that way.

318
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 3: Okay, why is it? Why is the witch talking third

319
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 3: person and coughing.

320
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: About went camping? There's a lot of smoke inhalations, trying

321
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: to get your ears.

322
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: Would you never mind?

323
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: But it's so it does have like one thing the

324
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: witch has that magic illusion and working like you know

325
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: the one you ever see that beer that's like hovering

326
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: in the sky perpetually, like pouring into a mug.

327
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like the floating from spancers loading. Yeah yeah, yeah,

328
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 3: yeah yeah.

329
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: So it works on that same illusion where like her

330
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: broom is on the ground and she appears to be

331
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: flying and like that trick very simple, but it always

332
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: works on my brain for a split second. And so

333
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: I think I think where the Witch comes from, it's

334
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: a it's a twofer, and that she's big. She's also

335
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: flying u and I think she's flying for like thirty seconds.

336
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 3: So it's not just the scale of it, like the

337
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 3: damn fucking tired ass skeleton, thank you, that ship's fucking normcore.

338
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 2: We're talking to fucking optical illusion for the babies.

339
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think she also came out at the

340
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: same time as the were wolf, and like I think

341
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: people were a little disappointed in the were wolf, so

342
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: I haven't I think maybe lumped in together.

343
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't and I don't mean to.

344
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 3: I know we're not doing I already did my overrated

345
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 3: but I think, well, were wolves are a.

346
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: Bit passe, like just in general, where wolf, Yeah, Wow.

347
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, unless I'm using I'm using a werewolf to evoke

348
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 3: how you would be if you drink a Vietnamese iced coffee.

349
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 2: We have to change yourself to a.

350
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: Radio exactly where wolves are like where wolves for anybody

351
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: who has had substance abuse problems, uh like very easy

352
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: to identify with. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, like

353
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: I and Jacko and Hide. Yes, but they're not they're

354
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 1: not necessarily scary. They're more like very sympathetic characters.

355
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: For yeah, because you're like, oh, man, that sucks, he's

356
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 3: gotta go back down there again.

357
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: Oh that was so annoying.

358
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 3: The McRib is back, Get my chain, honey, I gotta

359
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 3: go to the radiator.

360
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and

361
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: talk about the events of the week. We'll be right

362
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: back and we're back. Yeah and yeah, I mean the

363
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: weekend was a fucking nightmare. It was really like, you know,

364
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: horrifying the way, you know, the events that were happening

365
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: in Israel and also like the way everybody was furious

366
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: and hurting, and I don't know, it was a bad time.

367
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, you know, there was a

368
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 3: like a surprise attack launched by Hamas into like out

369
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 3: of Gaza that I think the death toll at this

370
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 3: point is like over thirteen hundred or something at this point, Yeah,

371
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 3: with a lot of Israeli citizens are civilians and Palestinian

372
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 3: civilians being killed. Yeah, and it's like, you know, the

373
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 3: footage is fucking horrifying. We've seeing people just like people

374
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 3: walking on the street getting shot and I think you

375
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 3: know a lot of those images inspired a lot of

376
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 3: people to memory hole like what the situation.

377
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: Is in Israel has been Yeah.

378
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, the coverage felt I the first things I read

379
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 3: like we're sort of treating these attacks like in a vacuum,

380
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 3: as if the like Israelis have not been putting Palestinians

381
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 3: like in a fucking open air prison as many people

382
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 3: describe the Gaza strip like that for for decades and

383
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 3: just be like how what like what were they doing?

384
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 2: What's going?

385
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: What?

386
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 2: What did what did they do that they deserve this?

387
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 3: And I'm not here to celebrate civilian deaths by any

388
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 3: fucking means. Just like, the thing that was stuck out

389
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 3: to me the most was sort of the lack of

390
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 3: context around the discussion around what the situation is between

391
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 3: Israel and Palestine and a lot of a lot of

392
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 3: colonial media shout out June for you know, I had

393
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 3: to remind myself that we call this colonial media colonizer media.

394
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 3: They they take up for other colonizer nations and treated

395
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 3: sort of like this thing that was mysterious and that

396
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 3: like nothing had been happening, as if you know, the

397
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 3: inflow and outflow of goods to Palestine is completely controlled

398
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 3: by Israelis, like along with medical supplies, electricity, water, countless things. Yeah,

399
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 3: and when you look at it from that perspective, you're like,

400
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 3: of course, shit like this is going to happen. Yeah,

401
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 3: this is this like the violence begets violence and this

402
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 3: is this is the situation. And I think, yeah, it

403
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 3: was really like you know, for like, even like the

404
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 3: commentary out of like the White House, obviously because we

405
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 3: are the biggest arms supplier to Israel, is going to

406
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: completely leave out the part that you know, the US

407
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 3: also has a hand in this from arming the Israeli

408
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 3: military and also letting you know, like we talked about

409
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 3: this during the all the uprisings in twenty twenty in

410
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 3: the US about how a lot of these carceral and

411
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 3: like crowd control technologies we saw being used are like tried,

412
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 3: like they're tested in.

413
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: Israel on the Palestinian people.

414
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so it's a very like it's a very

415
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 3: it's just a very fucked up situation and just to

416
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 3: see like how the fracturing of like people like losing

417
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 3: sight of what's going on and not to say anything

418
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 3: is like justified or anything, but like you're you're looking

419
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 3: at a situation where the outcome will only be this

420
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 3: kind of violence at a certain point when people are

421
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 3: put in k yeah, that they are going to respond

422
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 3: like this, and you know that now there's like that

423
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 3: there there have been a lot of like Israelis that

424
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 3: are taken hostage, and like the figures on that I

425
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 3: think obviously fluctuate depending on like where you're getting your news.

426
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: But it's just a it's it's it's it's a.

427
00:22:55,080 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 3: Fucking it's an ongoing fucked up situation that really has

428
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 3: been going on for like seventy five years now. And yeah,

429
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 3: like a lot of the coverage is sort of is like, yeah,

430
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 3: so this just happened, and that's all we can really

431
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 3: talk about.

432
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean to your point about like it, you know,

433
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: people do horrific things in the fog of war, but

434
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: like racist propaganda gets spread in the fog of war

435
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: as well. You know, I think, like I abhor the

436
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: killing and mis treatment of innocent people. I just like

437
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: happen to abhor it when it happens to Palestinian people

438
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: as well. But it feels like it doesn't enter the

439
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: zeitgeist of the United States when the Palestinian people are

440
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: the ones suffering systemic imprisonment and murder due to the

441
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: policies of the Israeli government military and like, but I yeah,

442
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: like both of those things can be true, Like I

443
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: can want innocent Israeli people to be safe from harm

444
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: and also think the Israeli occupation is evil, you know. Yeah,

445
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: but yeah, it does like it just there does seem

446
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: to be And I remember this, like even from when

447
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: I was a kid, like viewing this conflict, like they're

448
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: just it seems like there is a the way the

449
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: mainstream media and the US or you know, the colonial

450
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: media treats this story. It seems like Palestinian lives are

451
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: worth worthless in the calculation, I mean, the US mainstream media.

452
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 3: We're also a nation built off the suffering of indigenous,

453
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 3: black and brown bodies.

454
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that exactly.

455
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 2: We can't.

456
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 3: We can't, we will never, we would never want to

457
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 3: define an amount of what that is worth or what

458
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 3: the suffering is worth. So because we have our own shit,

459
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 3: we refuse to reckon with We're not about the media

460
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 3: is not about to.

461
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 2: Reckon with another nation shit like that.

462
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 3: It might maybe in the sense to say like, well

463
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 3: the US is better, and that's just disingenuous, but you know,

464
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 3: it's just it's just like it's that's just sort of

465
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 3: a blind spot or a w WillFull blind spot that

466
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 3: has to be, you know, maintained in order for like,

467
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 3: you know, the moral high ground.

468
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: Of a nation to be. It's just, yeah, it's it's

469
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: it's grim. Yeah, I don't know, it's a super grim

470
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: like you said in the US as it released, the

471
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: US like geist. You know, Trump is claiming on social

472
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: media that the American taxpayer helped to fund the attacks

473
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: on Israel, kind of in keeping with his strategy of

474
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: taking the truth and saying the exact opposite. Yeah, or

475
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: at least like focusing on it. He's suggesting that youren

476
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: funded Hamas using the six billion dollars in assets that

477
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: they were that were recently unfrozen by the US in

478
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: exchange for American prisoners.

479
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 2: That talking point was everywhere.

480
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, this became the main like Republican talking point. And

481
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: it's especially super because first of all, it wasn't tax paramoney.

482
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: The six billion dollars was sitting in a South Korean

483
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: bank and ode to a due to South Korean purchases

484
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: of Iranian energy products. But their money was inaccessible purely

485
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: because South Korea was concerned about following a foul of

486
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: US sanctions. So that's yeah, yeah, that was money and

487
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: like us kind of parked there.

488
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 3: It'll only be dispersed for very specific payments like like

489
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 3: for you know, for like medicine, for food, those kinds

490
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 3: of things. So and like then there's even Marjorie Taylor

491
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 3: Green who tried to use this to be like it

492
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 3: was Ukraine, like to keep like banging that drum, to

493
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 3: be like to it was Ukraine armed them, and even

494
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 3: Russian media pushed back.

495
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 2: They're like, uh, we have we have.

496
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 3: Nothing that would suggest that's remotely true, but I guess

497
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 3: go off, Marjorie Taylor Green. Yeah, and yeah, again this

498
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 3: is just a very it's like while too, because you see,

499
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 3: like you see like people like Kylie Jenner like posted

500
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 3: something like like all stand with and support of Israel

501
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 3: and then getting absolutely torn down by like our followers

502
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 3: and like.

503
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: You know a way, I'm like, yeah, I get it.

504
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 3: I mean, like, if you're not critically thinking in this country,

505
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 3: you would think that maybe everything was fine in Israel

506
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 3: and the fact that like you would take this very

507
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 3: narrow perspective about like what the what the power dynamic

508
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 3: is there and just be like, why.

509
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 2: Would Palestinian people do this to Israelis?

510
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 3: We have to stand with the Israelis and understand obviously

511
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 3: the civilian death is fucking terrible. Yeah, And I think

512
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 3: there's this other part that you just that is missed of,

513
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 3: like how lopsided and imbalanced the violences in the direction

514
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 3: towards Palestinian people. Like, dude, there's countless times I'm reading

515
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 3: about Palestinian children getting killed, fucking journalists being killed by

516
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 3: snipers or whatever, and it's like it's only on the

517
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 3: margins of like like like global news sites or things

518
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 3: like that. It's not being talked to about on like

519
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 3: MSNBC or whatever. And that has people in this like

520
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 3: I don't know, they have this perception again that it's

521
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 3: like they're Israel's just trying to do what they can

522
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 3: with like this mess that they've been dealt or whatever.

523
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 3: But if you look at like I was on Al

524
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 3: Jazeera and they had a graphic of showing like sort

525
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 3: of what this civilian death toll has been for the

526
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 3: roughly the last fifteen years up until this event, was

527
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 3: that about forty five hundred Palestinian civilians have died in

528
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 3: about three hundred Israeli citizens have died.

529
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 2: Just that's sort of what we're looking at.

530
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: And the coverage only goes really one way when it

531
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: comes to.

532
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 2: This one direction.

533
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and again and because we haven't a verb. We

534
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 3: saw this even with the war in Ukraine. When people

535
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 3: look a little lighter in complexion, there's there's a little

536
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 3: bit more empathy. And yeah, so a lot of these

537
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 3: people like sort of breathlessly take a lot of the

538
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 3: you know, the propaganda that comes out of like Israel

539
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 3: that sort of obscures what's going on, and they're like, yeah,

540
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 3: I think this is good because I saw some people die,

541
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 3: and it's like this is so much more complex and

542
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 3: being like pick a side right now, I mean, I'm I'm,

543
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 3: I'm there's nothing that I will waver in. And when

544
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: I look at the situation, I'm like, yeah, these people

545
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 3: are fucking getting sheniicided in slow motion.

546
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

547
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 2: Uh, And again I don't know what the fuck.

548
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 3: Someone put a thing out like, uh it was like

549
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 3: if Twitter existed in the eighteen hundreds and they're talking

550
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 3: about the like Haitian uprising against the French and they're like,

551
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 3: no idea, what happened here, Like he's innocent French people,

552
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 3: blah blah blah. And they're like if Twitter existed then,

553
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 3: because it's like what, Yeah, we're talking about enslavement. We're

554
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 3: talking about like people getting killed. And you look at

555
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 3: the backstories of some of these people who join Hamas,

556
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 3: like one of the commanders lost his fucking infant son,

557
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 3: three year old daughter, and wife in like one fellow

558
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 3: swoop in an airstrike and like that was this guy's

559
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 3: radicalizing incident. And you're like, these are just there's just

560
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 3: you're creating a fucking pressure book or that's gonna just

561
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 3: blow up. And that's think like what every even like

562
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 3: leftists in Israel have been saying. They're like this is

563
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,959
Speaker 3: we're not fucking We're not safe. When we do this,

564
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 3: and a lot of people are saying that, you know,

565
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 3: people are going to be demanding answers because for all

566
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 3: the money that's been spent two to like wall up

567
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 3: the Gaza strip and things and have like anti tunneling

568
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 3: sensor and things and nothing like.

569
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: They was really truly caught completely off guard.

570
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 3: And I think, like you know, most like sort of

571
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 3: experts in the arena talk about it's like, yeah, this

572
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 3: is going to bring some kind of paradigm shift. The

573
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 3: fucked up thing is now that we're going to see

574
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 3: even more loss of life for Palestini, innocent Palestinian people

575
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 3: as well, because the response like out of the government

576
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 3: in Israel has been like they're like op eds where

577
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 3: they're like when genocide is okay kind of thing, it's

578
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 3: like we need to like level Gaza. And this is

579
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 3: this is where it gets really fucked up because now

580
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 3: you were I'm reading reports of like more US military

581
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 3: hardware being sent to the region, and who knows where

582
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 3: this goes because I don't think you send warships when

583
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 3: you're trying to sort something out peacefully.

584
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 2: But again, this is this is sort of.

585
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 3: Like the ongoing terrible back and forth of just globally,

586
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 3: not reckoning with what's been happening in the region.

587
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: Yeah and yeah, just back to like what is actually

588
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: happening on the funding side, So that six million dollars,

589
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: which again did not come from the United States, has

590
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: not been touched because it's being closely monitored by the US.

591
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: It's inaccessible like in a lot of ways, so none

592
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: of that money's actually been spent. The United States, meanwhile,

593
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: has provided Israel with one hundred and fifty eight billion

594
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: dollars in bilateral assistance and missile defense funding and helped

595
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: to fund Julyes brutal assault on the West Bank that

596
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: led to the deaths of like five children, which again

597
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: is the sort of thing that doesn't get covered in

598
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: our media.

599
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, or even like even like when when the

600
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 2: Hamas is saying, like this is why this is happening,

601
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: Like I like the first reports like I was reading

602
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,959
Speaker 2: just didn't even say anything about that, about like the

603
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 2: desecration of a mosque in Jerusalem, and like the continued

604
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 2: confinement of the people of Causa and things like that.

605
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 2: It's one of the most densely populated places on earth,

606
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 2: Like two million people live there. Yeah, so yeah, we'll

607
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 2: see what the I mean. I'm sure we'll continue to

608
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 2: talk about it, because the rhetoric is ramping up, and

609
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,959
Speaker 2: already we're sending so much money when we have our

610
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 2: own fucking issues to deal with, to to continue to

611
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 2: finance the oppression of people.

612
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 3: So yeah, yep, a lot going on this weekend, A

613
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 3: lot going on.

614
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll

615
00:32:53,520 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: come back and talk about Demolition Man, and we're back

616
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: and back. Demolition Man turned thirty today. Wow, one of

617
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: my names has become demolition Man.

618
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 2: Thank you.

619
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: I saw this movie.

620
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 3: I remember on a school night my dad and I

621
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 3: thought it was the most badass shit I could ever do.

622
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 3: I just read one of like just some tidbits about

623
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 3: like the making of this film that I had no idea.

624
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: Bits kid bits here, so.

625
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 3: You know, palate cleanser as we shift gears away from

626
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 3: the dark oppression in the Middle East.

627
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: So originally Stephen.

628
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 3: Segal was supposed to star opposite Jean Claude van Dam.

629
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 3: Jeann Claude van Dam was supposed to be Simon Phoenix,

630
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 3: the Wesley Snipes part.

631
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 2: Luckily, Marco Brambia, who is the person who gave us

632
00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 2: the jaw dropping Utwo Sphere Visuals cast Stallone and Snipes

633
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,479
Speaker 2: instead because this was like this feels fucking dumb, like

634
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 2: this was not feeling the.

635
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: Two of them, and then and junk Club Van dam

636
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: are not really actors like the you know, like it's no,

637
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: it would have just been as like our greatest actor.

638
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 3: But it's right right right, but like there's a you

639
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 3: can see a little balance there. And then Wesley Snipes

640
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 3: with his like high energy and blonde, you know, flat

641
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 3: top and his love of karate kicking, You're like, yeah,

642
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 3: this is great.

643
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 1: Stallone ain't kicking.

644
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 2: I mean, has he ever karate kicked someone? I don't

645
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 2: think so.

646
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: I don't think every scene has ever been above knee level,

647
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: like right right ryeah.

648
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 3: Like in terms of his normal like gait like jogging

649
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 3: or something that's the highest his legs go. Yeah, that's

650
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 3: like this is perfect. You can't get two kicky guys

651
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 3: in there, no guy, Yeah, yeah, you need punchy guy.

652
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 3: And then like witty kicky guy. And then also Lenina Huxley,

653
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 3: who was the Sandra Bullock character was also originally cast.

654
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 3: Uh like Lori Petty tank Girl was originally cast to

655
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 3: play that part.

656
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: That actually made sense, that is like, oh, this character

657
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: was inspired by her.

658
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that there's like an energy to it. But then

659
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 3: apparently she and Stallone didn't get along. She described their

660
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 3: dynamic against oil and water were used to loan Lloyd Betty. Yeah,

661
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 3: like she and then again they were were like, okay,

662
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 3: let's get this young upstart Sandra Bullock in here, which

663
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 3: I didn't realize this was actually like the this was

664
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 3: her first sort of huge step towards stardom.

665
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 2: And then I think speed came after this was like

666
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 2: and then she was fully there.

667
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 3: So and I also didn't realize this was a kind

668
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 3: of a comeback for Stallone with that movie. Oh yeah, yeah,

669
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 3: he had it was some fallow years.

670
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always interesting. It's a I think it's the

671
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: closest that Stallone came to successfully pulling off what like Schwartzeneger.

672
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: You know, the eighties were defined by Schwarzenegger versus Stallone,

673
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: and Schwarzenegger was always able to be in like the

674
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: sci fi movies like Total Recall and Write Uh, Determinator Franchise,

675
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: and Stallone it like you always have to rub up

676
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: against Like the way he talks doesn't feel like it

677
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: should be in the future. Yeah, but this this one

678
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: it worked out. It can't because the whole like premise

679
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: of the movie is that he's not supposed to be

680
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: uh from this time and he's supposed to be like

681
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 1: an ally whoa.

682
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 3: And there's a nod to like this the Schwarzenegger rivalry

683
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 3: when they're like the presidential the Schwarzenegger Presidential Library, like

684
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 3: they mentioned it, you know, like there's a little tongue

685
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 3: in cheek action.

686
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:56,479
Speaker 1: Where do you think?

687
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 2: Okay?

688
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 3: I know, like people have said this was like a

689
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 3: comeback film for him, So I'm trying to think what

690
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 3: periods are we defining as the follow years? Like was

691
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 3: it Rocky four was the beginning?

692
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 1: How where do you want to say this the fallow years?

693
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Rocky four is eighty five. That movie is

694
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: like number one of the box office for so most

695
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: of that year.

696
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 2: Cash was also, you know, wasn't that a hit?

697
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 3: Or am I just thinking because I saw the videotape

698
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 3: everywhere that I was like, that movie is a hit.

699
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, like A stop for my Mom

700
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: will shoot? Yeah. I think that and Oscar were around

701
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: the same time.

702
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Oscar's nineteen ninety one, Stopper My Mom Will

703
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:42,959
Speaker 3: Shoot is nineteen ninety two. Then Cliffhanger Demolition Man.

704
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: Oh well, Cliffhanger was also like a major comeback that

705
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: was like.

706
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah guy, So I think this is the beginning.

707
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 3: So our guests we were just Rocky five. We fuck

708
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 3: with Rocky five, and.

709
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: I think that's in l yeah. I think that counts

710
00:37:55,560 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: as an l okay. Yeah. So, but like Judge, it

711
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: was like he was always trying to move Oscar. Oscar

712
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: is such a yeah, such a miss. So like the

713
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: big thing that where he like fell off. So he

714
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: was on this like Rocky four Cobra over the Top

715
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: streak where it's like this guy can do no wrong.

716
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: People will watch him in a arm wrestling movie. And

717
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: then Rambo three, which is the most expensive movie of

718
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: all time up to that point, which you know relates

719
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: to which also like the content of the movie relates

720
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: to what we were talking about the main story in

721
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 1: the news right now, because he like helps the muja

722
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: Hadeen like fight off Imperial Russia, and people were like, huh,

723
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: we're not so into this political message. I don't know

724
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: if that was the the reason it tanked, but that

725
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:02,720
Speaker 1: was that was like Vietnam Man, stick to killing Vietnamese people.

726
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: Yeah they're approved, uh, but yeah, Rambo three was a

727
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: big bomb. And then you have like Tango and Cash,

728
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: Rocky five, Oscar Stopper, My Mom will shoot. And then

729
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,439
Speaker 1: in the same year he has Cliffhanger Demolition Man, which

730
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: come back and really you know, are seems like all right,

731
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: he's back. But then up next is like The Specialist,

732
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: Judge dread Assassins, which are all kind of not great

733
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: daylight yeah, the Tunnel movie. But then yeah, yeah.

734
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 3: That movie fucked me up, like because isn't it about

735
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 3: is it like about the Lincoln Tell Like is it.

736
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:43,439
Speaker 2: Is it New York?

737
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think so. Yeah, it's like one of the

738
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: every one of these.

739
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 3: Every time I go like into one of those tunnels,

740
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh no, man, just like I have that

741
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 3: trailer stuck in my mind since I was a kid.

742
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's so funny that Dennis Leary is in

743
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: Demolition Man because it kind of takes its whole moral

744
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: core from like Dennis Leary bit yeah a lot of

745
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: you. I think he does a bit like I think he

746
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: does like run niked through the streets. Yeah, exactly.

747
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, And a lot of people took that as like, oh,

748
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 3: this is movies like libertarian, right, and they're like, no, no,

749
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 3: that's not the main point.

750
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 2: I think it is funny. That's why, like it's viewers

751
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 2: choice kind of.

752
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 3: For some people, if they want to hang on to

753
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 3: the Dennis Leary character, then they're like, yeah, this movie's

754
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 3: talking to me. Other people are like, oh, look at

755
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 3: how opportunistic leaders are in a tragedy to try and

756
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 3: consolidate power.

757
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 2: I think it is the larger message here, but.

758
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 3: Hey, it's up to you, folks if you want to

759
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 3: eat a rat burger with your ass hanging out while

760
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 3: you run through the streets and go ahead, buddy.

761
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: And finally, The Exorcist, the latest Exorcist sequel, came out,

762
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 1: and people are pretending that it was like a disappointment

763
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: because it only made twenty seven million dollars in the

764
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: United States made forty five million globally. That seems like

765
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 1: way more money than I would expect the movie, yeah

766
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: to make.

767
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,919
Speaker 2: We're still fucking with the Exorcist for real.

768
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 1: They haven't had a successful like they've had Exorcism movies,

769
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: but they're not like sequels to The Exorcists, and like

770
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: that franchise has been bad since the like the first

771
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: one is a classic, and then everything after that, like

772
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: the the second one is like famously bad, and like,

773
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: I guess Exorcists three is supposed to be good, but

774
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like I think a lot of people

775
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: were scary. Either way, I'm not it.

776
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, in general, I'm not fucking with like Exorcisms, you know,

777
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 3: Exorcist movies.

778
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 2: I don't like fucking scary movies.

779
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 3: I kind of feel like a waste of time for

780
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,479
Speaker 3: me when I'm like, yeah, I'm already in a state

781
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 3: of fright all right, existing in the world.

782
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 2: I don't need to compound that with the Exorcists.

783
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 3: But then when I read how much money fucking Warner

784
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 3: Brothers paid to fucking own the rights.

785
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: Just to own the rights, they paid four hundred million dollars,

786
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 1: so I.

787
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 3: Guess they're a quarter nearly a quarter of their way

788
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 3: earning it back.

789
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,760
Speaker 1: But but then the movie costs thirty million to produce.

790
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 1: This is the best opening for an Exorcist movie ever.

791
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 1: But like everyone's like this, this one's tanked, guys. And

792
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:32,280
Speaker 1: the reason that people think it tanked is wokeness because

793
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: there's a line in the movie. So there's a line

794
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:40,919
Speaker 1: in the movie where Ellen Burston's character says, like, talking

795
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: about the first movie, so Elan Burston was the mom

796
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: and the first Exorcist, I believe, and she was like,

797
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: they wouldn't let me in to like watch the Exorcist Exorcism,

798
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: I guess. And then another character is like, why not,

799
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 1: She says, my opinion, because I'm not a member of

800
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: their damn patriarchy. W Yes, well man, you go broke, dude.

801
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: I mean it is like the line is so bad.

802
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 1: It is like the worst version of woke signaling bullshit

803
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: where you just like give a cartoon version of a

804
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: feminist take right, you will be shocked to learn that

805
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: it is directed by a man and written by three men.

806
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 1: So so woke.

807
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 3: That's what's woke, though, because I'm able to I'm able

808
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 3: to actually comment on patriarchy as a person who's part

809
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 3: of it, you see.

810
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 2: That's why I'm getting points.

811
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 3: But Jesus Man, four hundred million is such a we're

812
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 3: we're so screwed, Like there's no no one likes an

813
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 3: original fucking idea so much copycat ship.

814
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 2: What what rights are they buying, we get these rights? Okay,

815
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 2: Well don't I got rights? Hey, don't I got something

816
00:43:58,640 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 2: original on the screen?

817
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 3: Five?

818
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 1: Come on? Yeah, Rocky six? Is that six? Yeah? That

819
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: is it? No? I don't know?

820
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 3: Or is that is that Rocky Balboa is technically Rocky six?

821
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the one where he like wants to box someone.

822
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

823
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: They're like, dude, you're too old, You're too old, You're

824
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 1: gonna die. Don't got rights?

825
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 3: And they're like, oh, you know what, You're right, you do, Okay,

826
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 3: go ahead, die in the ring, sir.

827
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, the new one's got absolutely terrible reviews, not

828
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: just from film critics but from our very own superducer Victor,

829
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: who says, the new one is so bo.

830
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 2: That's the five ring boring. Uh oh, you're getting a fib.

831
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 1: Ring boring rating. Nah, man, that's not good.

832
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 2: Five o's on that one. Don't do it.

833
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: And then we do have a new Halloween decoration taken over.

834
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: It's targets Lewis Lewis, Yeah, what the fuck is Lewis?

835
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: So it goes for one hundred and eighty dollars, already

836
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: sold out in most stores, and the the overall like

837
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: reason that people are fucking with Lewis is because he

838
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,479
Speaker 1: seems to have attitude like he has he will talk

839
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: to you.

840
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:14,000

Speaker 1: Target will not comment on Lewis's backstory, but people people

845
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: are saying, like, is Lewis giving l G B t

849
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 3: What I am not a Jack o Lantern? I thought

850
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 3: it was like some roots ship. Your name is Toby,

851
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 3: but that's was not what was going on. My name

852
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 3: is Lewis.

853
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 2: I'm okay, all right, Lewis, go ahead, do you sir?

854
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: Over there? It's not near me. I'll say you are

855
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: Jack o Lantern? Sorry, man, you got a big pumpkinhead

856
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: and face carved in.

857
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 3: I don't know what your definition of jack O'Lantern is,

858
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 3: but it's fucking you man, it's you, and I hate the.

859
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: I am not a person. My name is jack It's like, yeah, no,

860
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: but like that, so those things are both true. You

861
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: are actually a person and you have a name, but no,

862
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: I'm Jack.

863
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:42,439
Speaker 3: I'm a Jack, right, Oh okay, sure, I mean this

864
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 3: is I gotta say, this is a pretty weak offering

865
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 3: compared to the even the fucking Werewolf, Like I picked

866
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 3: the Werewolf over this ship.

867
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is not their best work and not a chance,

868
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 1: not that anybody has a chance of getting it at

869
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: the original listing press. And you're fine.

870
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 2: You're fine not getting the thing.

871
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 3: You could almost quite literally make out of buying a

872
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,720
Speaker 3: big old plastic jack O lantern and going to fucking

873
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 3: and just putting some black sheets on it and then

874
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 3: put some wrang skeleton hands on it and look at you.

875
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 1: Now you have your own, your very own Lewis. It

876
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: does look like it was happening, like it was almost

877
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 1: like the point is like it's a thing that two

878
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: movie characters have put together to spook some people or something, right,

879
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: like in a movie. Yeah, like like the head leaning for.

880
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 2: Kevin McAllister joint Kevin.

881
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: Kevin McAllister original.

882
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:36,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

883
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: Anyways, but I love it if Lewis gives people, you know, strength,

884
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 1: if Lewis is giving people inspiration and uh, you know,

885
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: giving people options. When the twelve foot Skeleton has sold out,

886
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:55,959
Speaker 1: which it has been all fall at home depot. Yeah,

887
00:47:56,239 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: missed my window, man, I was so close, Like I

888
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: better talk it over with my wife as a big purchase.

889
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: By the time we had talked it over and I

890
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: had cried until she let me buy it, it was

891
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: sold out. So it was like a wour window. And

892
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: I cried, you know when I cry, so like try

893
