Speaker 1: They've recently taken me on tours through the time Jimmy

Speaker 1: welcome to the show, Victor Vernado and Rachel Tishman World.
Speaker 1: What's up over the dates? Let us off, Let's do
Speaker 1: it glass right. I will be doing a lot of
Speaker 1: crazy voices today, just let you know ahead of time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I should should have mentioned Victor's a voice voice guy.
Speaker 1: It can be a lot though, bugs Bunny style antics. So,
Speaker 1: how how are you guys doing? You're in New York? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're in New York. We both live in Queens in
Speaker 1: the same neighborhood. Look at that. A lot of brunch
Speaker 1: dates between you two, mostly pool. We play pool against
Speaker 1: each other a lot. We have a running tally. I'll
Speaker 1: show it to you. Well, I'll tell you what it
Speaker 1: is right now. I'm gonna show you there's no need.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why there's no need because I have
Speaker 1: currently forty two wins and she as thirty. It should
Speaker 1: be forty two out there, pretty evenly matched though. That's
Speaker 1: pretty good. Odds wise, it's not bad. This is NBA.
Speaker 1: You'd be fine. Yeah, you see that, Rachel, It's fine.
Speaker 1: That's what you'll be saying in a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: when I yes, when I'm ahead. Yeah, we'll see about
Speaker 1: that licking your wounds. All right. Well, we are gonna
Speaker 1: get to know you both a little bit better in
Speaker 1: a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a couple
Speaker 1: of things we're talking about today. Joe Biden has turned
Speaker 1: asylum seeking into Ticketmaster with the help of a fun app.
Speaker 1: So we're just gonna talk about the fun technocratic solution
Speaker 1: to immigration that they've come up with, and just generally
Speaker 1: the fun technocratic world that we live in. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about Royal Doll's book being censored than uncensored than
Speaker 1: I don't know. We're gonna talk about the Shamrock Shake
Speaker 1: being back and having competition from Dairy Queen, all of
Speaker 1: that plenty more. But before we get to any of
Speaker 1: that bullshit, Victor Rachel, we like to ask our guests
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history? And I'll start
Speaker 1: with you, Rachel, what's something from your search history? Something
Speaker 1: in my search history from today is a recipe for
Speaker 1: cookie dough stuffed homontoshing, oh, which is a type of
Speaker 1: cookie to celebrate the holiday of poorhum which is coming
Speaker 1: up there. You go, Okay, that sounds fancy, super delicious.
Speaker 1: Makes you want to text my friend Leor and be like,
Speaker 1: have you tried it? Would you try it? Is this sacrilegious?
Speaker 1: Where do you feel? Where are you on the line
Speaker 1: of like this is good or this is my grandmother
Speaker 1: would kill me if she knew if if you tried hamontoshing,
Speaker 1: if you put cookie dough in hamatoshing. Oh, it's very
Speaker 1: unorthodox because the bass that I'm also doing is a
Speaker 1: chocolate chip cookie flavored bass, and so it's a cookie
Speaker 1: stuffed cookie, so completely non traditional. Yeah, I think my
Speaker 1: grandmother would love it, honestly, love that we're talking about
Speaker 1: like the p would eventually have cheese, like find a
Speaker 1: way to stuff cheese into the cheese of their pizza yesterday.
Speaker 1: And you have like created a similar thought experiment that
Speaker 1: is like breaking my brain right now. How do you
Speaker 1: so it's like one type of cookie dough stuffed into
Speaker 1: another cookie. Yeah, it's chocolate chip cookie dough stuffed into
Speaker 1: essentially a triangular shaped chocolate chip cookie. It is the
Speaker 1: greatness of America on display right now. Does the dough
Speaker 1: get baked or it does? It's unbaked cookie dough, So
Speaker 1: you like baked the cookies and then stuff the unbaked
Speaker 1: dough inside. It'll all be baked together, but hypothetically the
Speaker 1: cookie dough stuffing will stay soft enough. Hmm, it sounds delicious.
Speaker 1: I want to liquefied and shoot it into my arteries. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can make that happen for you. I just thought
Speaker 1: a stethoscope called Rachel. You everybody heard that she threatened
Speaker 1: me with murder? Did you hear that? Seems she just
Speaker 1: seemed accommodating to me, Victor, That's all I heard. What
Speaker 1: is something from your search history? Victor? I actually checked
Speaker 1: something in my search I checked something today so that
Speaker 1: I could talk about it on the show. In my
Speaker 1: search history, so it's recent search history for ten years straight.
Speaker 1: I am the number one video result when you search
Speaker 1: for how to draw a penis? So if you google
Speaker 1: how to draw a penis, the number one video result
Speaker 1: is me, and then I'm still champion. Yeah there you are?
Speaker 1: Are you just drawing? How did this video come to be.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you how the video came to be. So
Speaker 1: a long time I also like have a production company,
Speaker 1: and so a long time ago I got a deal
Speaker 1: to do like a whole bunch of art videos where
Speaker 1: people were drawing on glass standing and then so I
Speaker 1: built inside the studio this glass that you could just drawn.
Speaker 1: And then so one day I was on the set
Speaker 1: and I put on a fake mustache, and then I
Speaker 1: I made a character, and then I taught people how
Speaker 1: to drop penis and I put it online and it
Speaker 1: just kind of stuck around. It's amazing. It's in black
Speaker 1: and white, so it's very artistic. It's giving the artist
Speaker 1: for sure. I love this. It's on a dead YouTube channel.
Speaker 1: Like the dead YouTube channel version is the one that
Speaker 1: has stuck around forever, and so like my current it's
Speaker 1: on my current YouTube channel, but it doesn't have half
Speaker 1: as many views as on his dead channel. The voice
Speaker 1: you did for it is incredible. Thank you. I can't
Speaker 1: really hear the voice, but you are taking it very seriously.
Speaker 1: With a very silly mustache. I do break during the video.
Speaker 1: I think that's part of the fun, because my must
Speaker 1: mustache starts falling off at one point and I started laughing, Well,
Speaker 1: you're telling me that's not a real mustache. Sorry to
Speaker 1: disappoint you. I like that you chose to go for
Speaker 1: straight here instead of curly. I feel like everything that's
Speaker 1: naveryone's natural instinct, just like I'll do short and curly,
Speaker 1: so but these are just like whispy hairs. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the penis's hair is like kind of but yeah, very straight,
Speaker 1: like a serious for all of that stuff too. So
Speaker 1: oh great, if you're you're here it with sound, you'll
Speaker 1: know the truth. Yeah or penis guys. Amazing. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: got to be like pretty pretty popular, right, Like I
Speaker 1: just got so many extra views for that dead channel.
Speaker 1: That's great. Yeah, trying to find it on the real channel.
Speaker 1: Give show Victor your support, my goodness. As of right now,
Speaker 1: it is at one hundred ninety nine thousand views, so
Speaker 1: maybe you, if you're lucky, you could be the two
Speaker 1: hundred thousandth view. Really an autographed penis drawing from from
Speaker 1: me after I have studied under the tutelage of Victor Fartnato.
Speaker 1: What Yeah, so that channel, that channel, do you remember
Speaker 1: my damn channel that I do on YouTube? So yeah,
Speaker 1: they gave me a deal for this channel, but then
Speaker 1: they they like, so we started this channel, comedy channel,
Speaker 1: and then they just imploded, and then so and then
Speaker 1: I never found the lot that I never not found,
Speaker 1: but I never got all the logging information back, so
Speaker 1: I can't it's dead. It's just broken. If we had
Speaker 1: a dollar for every day, every day video channel or
Speaker 1: magazine article, yeah, I just had to rescue all my
Speaker 1: stuff from a v club. So it's funny the life, truly.
Speaker 1: What's something that you guys think is overrated? Shaking hands
Speaker 1: is overrated? Shaking hands? All right? Is there a better
Speaker 1: way to greet? Just a just a hello, nice to
Speaker 1: meet you. How no touching? No touching? Why why do
Speaker 1: I need to touch a stranger's hand. I really would
Speaker 1: have thought that COVID was going to kill that. It
Speaker 1: has not killed it. And it's like you just feel grimy,
Speaker 1: you feel grun and one person is trying to assert
Speaker 1: their dominance over the other by being firmer. It's just
Speaker 1: happening in New York. Oh my god, that is the
Speaker 1: thing you always hear though, Like I remember that being
Speaker 1: like one of the first pieces of socialization that I
Speaker 1: was like, it was instructed in. I mean the first
Speaker 1: was like how to draw a penis, I learn that
Speaker 1: from the victor. But then secondly my dad was like,
Speaker 1: here's how you shake hands, and you have to like
Speaker 1: be firm and like make eye contact and turn it
Speaker 1: into an arm wrestling match and pull them off balance,
Speaker 1: and this is how you know who's winning in the relationship.
Speaker 1: That's right, stronger handshake, Okay, that's right. I feel it.
Speaker 1: I definitely feel it. I can definitely without touching dirty hands.
Speaker 1: It's all. It's a weird thing now. I feel like
Speaker 1: when I go because I think it's happening, it's like
Speaker 1: it's ingrained in a lot of us. So you know,
Speaker 1: you meet somebody, oh hi, I mean you just like
Speaker 1: automatically stick your hand out now like halfway through sticking
Speaker 1: my hand, and I'm like, this is a bad idea.
Speaker 1: We should not be doing this. But has your hand?
Speaker 1: Have I seen them in mass on their I photos
Speaker 1: You're not ever touching and it's over, okay. Instead, just
Speaker 1: sneak up behind them and give them a nice warm
Speaker 1: shoulder rub. Nice that's presidential exactly. Hey, buddy, Then you're
Speaker 1: just in their ears so you don't have to talk
Speaker 1: too loud, your hand smells nice. The first thing they
Speaker 1: hear from you is, oh no, that's a terrible sid
Speaker 1: That's better though, right am? I right? No voice, hot
Speaker 1: air on your neck. And if you are really into
Speaker 1: the power play thing, the biggest like power play I've
Speaker 1: seen like this, like famous Agent I once witnessed somebody
Speaker 1: went to shake their hand and they said nah. They
Speaker 1: didn't They didn't say no, I'm sick or anything. They
Speaker 1: just said nah. And like that that is the firmest
Speaker 1: handshake you can give. Is denying somebody a handshake while
Speaker 1: their hand is out. I want these strong boundaries and
Speaker 1: I also feel like it's so rude, but also could
Speaker 1: I do it? Oh man, I don't know. I said
Speaker 1: I don't shake at the money status yet to pull
Speaker 1: that off, yeah, I feel like you have to have
Speaker 1: a certain threshold of I don't shake or was it
Speaker 1: just a nah, because it seems like just if you're
Speaker 1: just like nah, that seems like kind of like it's
Speaker 1: almost like a slap in the face instead of a
Speaker 1: shaken Yeah. I think they said no, I don't shake, Okay,
Speaker 1: so yeah, it was specific qualify the naw okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: let be done, Victor, what about you is something that's overrated? Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it's actually kind of related, but I will
Speaker 1: say ruthlessness is overrated. I think, yeah, absolutely, I work
Speaker 1: I work with a lot of entrepreneurs, and a lot
Speaker 1: of entrepreneurs are all about it's like and you know,
Speaker 1: all or nothing, it's ruthlessness, go go go. You have
Speaker 1: to be ruthless. You gotta if somebody doesn't make some mistake,
Speaker 1: you gotta cut them from your team. Like all that is, no,
Speaker 1: I agree. Are you recommending ruth being ruthful or just
Speaker 1: like having a few ruths? Sorry? Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: why they left that antonym out of the language, but
Speaker 1: they guess they did right. Sorry trick up there, But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm just recommending, Like I here's the thing,
Speaker 1: Like I've talked to people about how I deal with
Speaker 1: how I deal with people, and in the core of
Speaker 1: people who work with me, I just want, really, I
Speaker 1: want people who are lifelong friends who am I really enjoy,
Speaker 1: that are good enough to get the job done well,
Speaker 1: because those are the people have to spend the most
Speaker 1: time with and that and that's not about being ruthless
Speaker 1: all the time and just like cutting people. It's working
Speaker 1: with people so that the best, you know, job can
Speaker 1: be done. I mean I wanted to get to like
Speaker 1: sappy about it or anything like that, but I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to say ruthlessness is, especially in the work world,
Speaker 1: is just bunk. Are you saying that people are not
Speaker 1: machines and neat empathy in order to thrive and do
Speaker 1: their best work. That's sort of what I'm saying. But
Speaker 1: he's also saying that I'm a robot too, So oh,
Speaker 1: I am, well, I guess I like you kind of
Speaker 1: like you said that they're not machines, but like I can,
Speaker 1: I can be kind of robotic sometimes we all can.
Speaker 1: Times I feel like it's sorry the Internet is turning
Speaker 1: us into robots, But I do feel like the yeah,
Speaker 1: the work at a time when like everybody's the corporate structure,
Speaker 1: the way corporations are incentivized is to be ruthlessly. It's
Speaker 1: not just the internal business lingo. It's also like you
Speaker 1: lay off eight hundred people at Google and then like
Speaker 1: the stock price shoots up. You know, It's like that.
Speaker 1: It's the way the incentive structure is like set up
Speaker 1: in the United States, and it's fucking a disaster. My guy,
Speaker 1: macho man energy, I gotta be like destroying people in
Speaker 1: order to feel powerful. Yeah, destroying their hands in a
Speaker 1: handshake and then destroying their lives by firing them exactly
Speaker 1: getting money out of it. Yeah. And karate chopping their
Speaker 1: heads off. Yes, that's another thing that they don't like
Speaker 1: openly share, but behind closed doors, a lot of executive
Speaker 1: coaches tell you karate chopping heads is a good way
Speaker 1: to establish dominance in the boardroom. If this were a
Speaker 1: world with no consequences, I would definitely fire people by
Speaker 1: karate chopping their heads off. Brand advice. What is something, Victor, well,
Speaker 1: let's stick with you that you think is underrated? Well,
Speaker 1: I can't. I hate to bring this up because we're
Speaker 1: just talking about how we don't want people to be robots.
Speaker 1: But something that is underrated is chat GPT. I know
Speaker 1: a lot of people are going to be like, hey,
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear this, but some people will.
Speaker 1: I hope for some people, I'm going to make your
Speaker 1: lives a little bit better. This is why, this is why,
Speaker 1: this is my argument for convincing you to go use
Speaker 1: chat GPT. Imagine that the absolute smartest person in the world,
Speaker 1: gave you one hundred percent of their attention and would
Speaker 1: help you with anything. Now that's it's not a person,
Speaker 1: but it's a it's a it's a it's a robot.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's what it's like. It's it's a person
Speaker 1: who like it's the smartest. It's basically the smartest, the
Speaker 1: smartest intelligence in the world that you can get one
Speaker 1: hundred percent of their attention, ask them anything and they'll
Speaker 1: try to help you. That's what That's why I'm saying
Speaker 1: you should use it. What kind of questions are you
Speaker 1: ask see if you found really helpful. Well, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: Just recently I said to it, I want to take
Speaker 1: this idea I have and turn it into an app.
Speaker 1: And now three weeks later, I have a fully working
Speaker 1: app and an investor and my first business. Okay, so
Speaker 1: I was just basically batting things around the chat GPT
Speaker 1: until I as an artist. For me, it helps me
Speaker 1: rapidly prototype anything. That's how I use it. It's like
Speaker 1: very rap and it's not like it's not it's just
Speaker 1: doing all the busy work. So for instance, you could
Speaker 1: you could do all the busy work or you could
Speaker 1: sit and think for two hours and come up with
Speaker 1: twenty different versions of a tagline, or you could have
Speaker 1: it do it in two seconds and then pick your
Speaker 1: favorite one and then adjust it. And so it just
Speaker 1: takes away all of the busy work, and so I
Speaker 1: think that people should use it for anything that they
Speaker 1: considers busy work, especially busy mental work, because it is
Speaker 1: like a it's like a mental laborer. It'll do all
Speaker 1: the mental labor that you have to do, not the creativity,
Speaker 1: but it does do the mental labor. Got it. Do
Speaker 1: you feel like your voice as an artist is able
Speaker 1: to still come through? Because I've seen like Craig Mason,
Speaker 1: who's the showrunner on the Last of Us, and he's
Speaker 1: got this great podcast called script Notesbody hosts with John
Speaker 1: August who are real big fish, and they were talking
Speaker 1: about like, you know, there's a lot of fear that
Speaker 1: people were going to lose jobs or like, oh suddenly
Speaker 1: we won't be a playable and their exploration with chat
Speaker 1: GPT was essentially so it's not funny or creative in
Speaker 1: that it can't Yeah, it can't develop like full thoughts
Speaker 1: or storylines. It doesn't understand complex human emotions and how
Speaker 1: to phrase and write those things. Dialogue with total crap.
Speaker 1: But they were really excited about the prospect of like say,
Speaker 1: you're only no French and that's the language you write in,
Speaker 1: but you'd like to make Hollywood movies. They're like, it
Speaker 1: can quickly and pretty in a readable manner translate your
Speaker 1: scripts from French to English. But that was basically their
Speaker 1: their bar if they were like, you can't You can
Speaker 1: use it for like creative plugs like you suggested, but
Speaker 1: you can't really use it as it won't take over
Speaker 1: anyone's job. Can I tell you something where I used like,
Speaker 1: can I tell you like I think that chat GPT
Speaker 1: is going to like help me, like really make a
Speaker 1: crapload of money in a really good way, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you how it is doing it. Because what
Speaker 1: happened is that so I have a I have a podcast,
Speaker 1: like a separate podcast was just like a teaching podcast
Speaker 1: where I teach people how to do things like in
Speaker 1: the entertainment industry. And then so what I did was
Speaker 1: I took one of the most popular episodes and I
Speaker 1: was going to turn it into an ebook. But when
Speaker 1: I started turning into an ebook, I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: bored doing this, and then so I so I taught
Speaker 1: GPT three, which is the AI behind chat GPT. I
Speaker 1: taught GPT three how to go through a podcast transcript
Speaker 1: and then turn it into an ebook and in one
Speaker 1: button push okay. And then when I figured out how
Speaker 1: to do that and program that correctly and and and
Speaker 1: do all that. That is the app that I was
Speaker 1: talking about that I made that I'm launching now because
Speaker 1: it's and and so, and you can actually look it
Speaker 1: up at the show like it's right, it's at Magic
Speaker 1: Book a fire dot AI. So like it's a real
Speaker 1: it's a thing. Yeah, So I mean so like I mean,
Speaker 1: but I'm saying that like it because I had this
Speaker 1: very smart person to pay attention to me, like I
Speaker 1: was able to like do it. Wow, I love that.
Speaker 1: And do you did you read the New York Times
Speaker 1: article where the person was like, I think it wants
Speaker 1: to fuck me. Yeah, like that? Do you think that?
Speaker 1: Like it's not an actual intelligence, right, Like that's the
Speaker 1: that's the thing that seems to be I don't know. Not, No,
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not an actual intelligence. But what it
Speaker 1: is is it's something that has trained how to react
Speaker 1: like humans would react to certain text prompts. So basically,
Speaker 1: it's just trained to act like a human would. And
Speaker 1: I think that I think that if a human was
Speaker 1: just getting hold of emotions, they'd be as just as
Speaker 1: annoying as that Chad that wasn't a New York Times article,
Speaker 1: because there's people like that. There's people like when they
Speaker 1: were crowd calling it love bombing. Yeah, there's people that
Speaker 1: knew exactly that, and it could just be like not,
Speaker 1: it could be mimicking with something. It's yeah, I love you,
Speaker 1: I think we should be together. You don't love your wife.
Speaker 1: I give this conversation a three out of ten, like exactly,
Speaker 1: yeah it was. It was motherfucker Yeah, just nagging and
Speaker 1: the hell how about you, Rachel? What's something that you
Speaker 1: think is underrated? On a completely different note, the TV
Speaker 1: show Full House is completely underrated the original, the original,
Speaker 1: the original, Okay, okay, all right, let's underrated about it?
Speaker 1: What are people not appreciating? People are like, here's this
Speaker 1: cheesy ass sitcom. They're like, the writing is bad, the
Speaker 1: acting is bad, the jokes are dumb. But you know what,
Speaker 1: like the actual story of Full House is incredibly deeply tragic, right, Like,
Speaker 1: here's this young twenty nine year old man with a Yeah.
Speaker 1: The first season, he's twenty nine in turns thirty in
Speaker 1: approximately episode nine, ten eleven somewhere around there that I know,
Speaker 1: I know, And he has three young children, He has
Speaker 1: this wonderful house, a great job, and then his wife
Speaker 1: is killed by a drunk driver, and now he's stuck
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to grieve while helping his
Speaker 1: children grieve, keeping them alive, keeping them well, to the
Speaker 1: point of having his best friends come in, one of
Speaker 1: whom is his wife's living younger brother, twenty four years old,
Speaker 1: and yeah, that's Damos. And I imagine if Rachel had
Speaker 1: written the original season the original series descriptions amazing, amazing,
Speaker 1: people will be like, it's a comedy, yeah, and that's
Speaker 1: the thing they have the right. It has these horribly
Speaker 1: tragic scenes of grief and loss and trying to keep
Speaker 1: their family well and together. But then it's cut by
Speaker 1: a laugh track. And there's just all these references throughout
Speaker 1: the series of the Mother, although that dies off after
Speaker 1: it dies off after the first couple of seasons, they
Speaker 1: don't reference her quite as much. But then there's even
Speaker 1: a couple of episodes where they reference the oldest daughter,
Speaker 1: DJ drinking a beer, and then the middle daughter Stephanie.
Speaker 1: Later on she made some reckless friends and got in
Speaker 1: a car, and later on her friends got into a
Speaker 1: car accident, and it's just all these references back to
Speaker 1: the horrible loss that this family has faced. This is
Speaker 1: actually really touching how passionate you are about this show.
Speaker 1: I hate how do you hateful? Okay, I understand people
Speaker 1: that gets like cheesy and corny or whatever, but it's
Speaker 1: all it's got so much higher. It is cute, a
Speaker 1: little Olsen twins, and then if you know the behind
Speaker 1: the scenes stuff, you know that their younger sister was
Speaker 1: just running around causing havoc on set. Delightful and Jesse's
Speaker 1: but there's a lot to really appreciate this show. It's
Speaker 1: so good. It's so good, and that's why it's the
Speaker 1: most underrated show. Yeah, there you go, There you go.
Speaker 1: So Joey wasn't an actual uncle, he was. He was
Speaker 1: just a friend, you know, when your parents have a
Speaker 1: close friend and do you call yeah, yeah, the uncle. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's right. Like a lot of people in the world
Speaker 1: reference him as Uncle Joey, but not once in the
Speaker 1: entire series. Do they call him uncle Joey. He's just
Speaker 1: Danny's best friend. Oh really, really, you just call him
Speaker 1: Joey then Joe, so it's Uncle Jesse And wow, my
Speaker 1: brain is melting thought they called him uncle. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: This is this is straight up there with the Mandela effect. Guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it is. It literally is the Mendella. That
Speaker 1: is a really good Mandela effect. I think we're gonna
Speaker 1: have to call off the rest of this episode actually,
Speaker 1: because I don't think I'm gonna be able to recover
Speaker 1: from finding out I was wrong about that. I'm really
Speaker 1: gonna have to go back to Netflix and uh not
Speaker 1: check that show off. I will say the first of
Speaker 1: the first few episodes of the first season kind of
Speaker 1: difficult to get through, but the rest of the series
Speaker 1: because they're grieving, no right exact, because they are going
Speaker 1: through trauma. Sorry, if they're not funny enough for you, Rachel,
Speaker 1: that is that's crazy. That he's a twenty nine year
Speaker 1: old father of three. H yeah, just something about his vibe.
Speaker 1: It felt like he was late thirties at the at
Speaker 1: the youngest. But wait, how old was his oldest daughter
Speaker 1: at the time? Oh? Ten or eleven? Yeah? Man, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: his wife. Yeah, they were high school sweethearts and then uh,
Speaker 1: you know, things kind of happened kind of fast. But
Speaker 1: he was a successful sportscaster. Originally he was making lots
Speaker 1: of money. Yeah yeah, wow more a full house. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one of the great shows ever. I'm so upset. That's
Speaker 1: part of my brain. Now did they move into that house?
Speaker 1: Was that a new house that they were moving into
Speaker 1: or was that the same house that they lived in
Speaker 1: with them house? That was the same house? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's so dark it is Mom was just there? Like,
Speaker 1: how long after her death does the show start? Only? Um,
Speaker 1: three months? Jesus, Yeah, that's what I mean. Yes, And
Speaker 1: in the very first episode, the first scene is of
Speaker 1: so like the grandmother came in for those few months
Speaker 1: to help. And then the very first scene is when
Speaker 1: the grandmother is leaving. So the girls had already lost
Speaker 1: their mom, now their grandmother is leaving. Right, Oh my gosh, Rachel,
Speaker 1: you have to write a book called The Tragic World.
Speaker 1: I know way too many details. We have to do
Speaker 1: this because we can now the grandma leaves as the
Speaker 1: show opens, and then like they start the next conversation,
Speaker 1: then you just hear tires, screech out the front door,
Speaker 1: and they're run to the front door. No, yes, literally,
Speaker 1: like they're crime. They're like Grandma, don't go they and
Speaker 1: like they want. There's a laugh track behind it, so
Speaker 1: it distracts you from the trauma of the loss. Is great.
Speaker 1: All this information that is amazing, all right, And this
Speaker 1: isn't from one of your one of the Wikipedia pages
Speaker 1: that you guys did. This is just this coming from you.
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, this is just raw. Rachel Tishman. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break while we all just kind
Speaker 1: of work through what we've just learned, and we'll be
Speaker 1: back to talk some news stories and we're back, and
Speaker 1: we're back. We're back. So this story made me scream,
Speaker 1: oh good, a technocratic solution. So it started like last week,
Speaker 1: Biden was in Poland. He lauded the country for taking
Speaker 1: in more than one point five million Ukrainian refugees and
Speaker 1: said the American people are united in our resolve as well.
Speaker 1: And people were pointing out that as he was giving
Speaker 1: that speech, they were also introducing the toughest policies yet
Speaker 1: aimed at turning away migrants to the United States. And
Speaker 1: you know, one of the new rules is meant to
Speaker 1: replace Title forty two, which is set to expire soon.
Speaker 1: But they were posted online last week and our subject
Speaker 1: to a thirty day public comment period. But one of
Speaker 1: the big new things is the requirement for migrants to
Speaker 1: register using the Customs and Border Patrol smartphone app. And
Speaker 1: it's just a it's a bad it's a bad apps,
Speaker 1: as frequently happens when you just open something up to
Speaker 1: the whole world using it. They launched the app in
Speaker 1: January to expedite the process for asylum seekers. It's been
Speaker 1: a goddamn nightmare because, like its people have recorded countless
Speaker 1: errors that force users to go through all the steps
Speaker 1: only to have it crash and restart in a seemingly
Speaker 1: endless cycle. For some reason, this reminded me of did
Speaker 1: you guys see the Cory doctor um on Twitter talking
Speaker 1: about like this, Like when he googled like a tie
Speaker 1: restaurant in his neighborhood, you know, googled it, went to
Speaker 1: the first result, which was the name of the restaurant,
Speaker 1: ordered food from it, and it like the top result
Speaker 1: was actually a Google ad that was like a cloned
Speaker 1: website that was the entire existence of the company was
Speaker 1: just to create cloned websites of the restaurant you're looking
Speaker 1: for and then charge you fifteen percent more than the
Speaker 1: like that they'll actually put your order in. But they
Speaker 1: just like skim fifteen percent, and so they just like
Speaker 1: insert themselves into this, into this transaction and like find
Speaker 1: find little ways to to fuck you over get some
Speaker 1: of your money without providing any service whatsoever. It just
Speaker 1: can see a most Internet companies though, right, like even
Speaker 1: your Amazons, which are like no, we house like a
Speaker 1: bunch of like these little independent companies and really helping
Speaker 1: them get seen and sell product. And it's like sure,
Speaker 1: but you're taking a large percentage and when returns come
Speaker 1: they have to Like for example, if you buy a
Speaker 1: book on Kindle and decide to return it months later,
Speaker 1: which you can do, the authorsn't have to pay that
Speaker 1: money back to Amazon, right Like they don't take any
Speaker 1: of the brick and mortar, like you know, consequences off.
Speaker 1: It's it's all in the same way that grub Hub
Speaker 1: if you return in order or something's not right with
Speaker 1: your order, they don't paint it on the driver or
Speaker 1: grub Hub the restaurant paste for that. Yeah, it just
Speaker 1: feels like we are not like the tech is not
Speaker 1: up to up to what we think it's up to.
Speaker 1: In a lot of cases like that, it's just yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I agree. But I think what the biggest
Speaker 1: problem is is that the higher you get up in
Speaker 1: and just like power or whatever, and the when people
Speaker 1: think they when people think they know what something is
Speaker 1: like they the government did not hire the best app developers.
Speaker 1: That's the real problem, because it could have worked if
Speaker 1: they just hired the right people. But somewhere in the government,
Speaker 1: somebody's like, my nephew, does app development, Fine, we can
Speaker 1: just do this project. It snap, it's a nap what
Speaker 1: what how much? What do you have to do? Nephew,
Speaker 1: you can do it. And that's what happened, and then
Speaker 1: it blew up, right, I say, because Canada had a
Speaker 1: similar thing. If you were flying into Canada from outside
Speaker 1: of the country during COVID, and I think even now,
Speaker 1: like you have to scan your vaccination cards and then
Speaker 1: you have to like sign a bunch of stuff and
Speaker 1: you have to vaccinated with the X amount of days,
Speaker 1: and then in order to get on your plane and
Speaker 1: then pass customs, you have to like show the results
Speaker 1: of this app that worked pretty well, I guess, which
Speaker 1: to me is much more streamlined. It's essentially just do
Speaker 1: you have the medical requirements to enter our country, as
Speaker 1: opposed to this app, which demands people stop in every
Speaker 1: country they pass on their way to America to be like, hey,
Speaker 1: can I seek asylum here and they're like, no, go
Speaker 1: for it. But we're not working with those countries to
Speaker 1: like bring in that information into the app. And if
Speaker 1: it's glitchy, then I just I can only imagine it
Speaker 1: causing a lot of headaches for people who are literally
Speaker 1: fighting for their lives as opposed to me, I was
Speaker 1: just trying to get to Toronto for a film festival.
Speaker 1: It seems like maybe something that a half assed app
Speaker 1: is not required here. Yeah, and then you're fleeing like
Speaker 1: a government that is trying to persecute and potentially like
Speaker 1: arrest or kill you. You might not have access to
Speaker 1: a charged smartphone, so the internet. Yeah, the Internet say
Speaker 1: you're trying to send messages for help, but you can't
Speaker 1: get rid of the pop up app. You're like, well
Speaker 1: that's what we imagine. Yeah. We talked to a security
Speaker 1: expert on at the end of last week and we
Speaker 1: were talking about chat GPT and like AI, and they
Speaker 1: were like, Yeah, the thing that it's actually going to
Speaker 1: do is just make spam and pop ups like better
Speaker 1: at tricking you. Like that's what it's going to be.
Speaker 1: Alike with all technology, it's all just going to be
Speaker 1: used to create the lowest denominator ads and make them
Speaker 1: better at trigging you and stealing your information. Every new
Speaker 1: technology is usually adopted by the adult film industry first. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like and so I wonder what's going I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I wonder what's happening right now, because something's happening
Speaker 1: right sites. Yeah, let us know. But and there's just
Speaker 1: like they're not up to the task when it comes
Speaker 1: to This feels just true almost across the board over
Speaker 1: any considerable period of time, Like almost every company has
Speaker 1: a like information leak, Like one of the CBPS subcontractors
Speaker 1: was hacked in twenty nineteen, exposing private information pertaining to
Speaker 1: thousands of random people. I was just like going back
Speaker 1: through like now that I can't have two factor authentication
Speaker 1: like through the Twitter app, I have to like have
Speaker 1: it through my iPhone. And like as I was going
Speaker 1: back through that, I was like seeing all of the
Speaker 1: you know, old passwords that I no longer use, but
Speaker 1: still like they've all been exposed like leaked and you know, hacked,
Speaker 1: like within the last like fifteen years. Like every company
Speaker 1: is exposing your private information like they because there's just
Speaker 1: like not an overarching incentive structure for them. They're just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's so many of these leaks and these hacks that
Speaker 1: like we, like the consumer can't keep track of all
Speaker 1: that shit, so we just kind of keep it moving. Now.
Speaker 1: It's just a notification that I get when I log
Speaker 1: into Tea Mobile, Like they don't even send out emails anymore,
Speaker 1: but when you log into your account, there'll just be
Speaker 1: a notification at the top like some of your information
Speaker 1: was leaked, And I was like, oh, oh cool, team Mobile. Thanks,
Speaker 1: just know that your information is in a perpetual state
Speaker 1: of being leaked. Thanks. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, at and T
Speaker 1: same shit, Like yeah there. That's why I suggest to
Speaker 1: everybody that you don't put anything online that you're not
Speaker 1: comfortable just you know, telling everybody in the world. Yeah,
Speaker 1: nobody's making lots of money off of me, and I
Speaker 1: want to cut what Like they're taking my information and
Speaker 1: they're making money on it from from the from the
Speaker 1: data leaks. You want your data slice? Yeah, I want
Speaker 1: my data slice. And it's like what I feel like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but we're all worth fractions of opinion. It's just that,
Speaker 1: like we're one of three billion people who's like information
Speaker 1: they've they've leaked. Companies can pay me a lump some
Speaker 1: upfront like I do to use their apps, or they
Speaker 1: can pay me monthly based off of a percentage. I'll
Speaker 1: take money either way, totally fine to collect. Is there
Speaker 1: any technology that hasn't been completely like taken over by
Speaker 1: like spam or scams or like it. I guess like
Speaker 1: TV hasn't totally been it's just I mean, it's been
Speaker 1: ruined by advertising. But TV is a scam, yeah, just
Speaker 1: there and there, scam this, and so it's a gateway scam. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They're all the communication, like the two way and for
Speaker 1: like phones, email, text is all just slowly being taken
Speaker 1: over by just made unusable at this point. You know
Speaker 1: what we still have in terms of unbothered two way
Speaker 1: communication is pickto at on the original Nintendo DS. Nice yeah,
Speaker 1: nice class still working. That's where we met. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: your system works, it still works. There you go, Yeah,
Speaker 1: go to your brick and mortar stories, meet the people
Speaker 1: you buy things from. It feels good, it's better. So wait,
Speaker 1: what is picto Chat on the Nintendo DS? I missed that.
Speaker 1: I haven't played video games since and sixty four. Picto
Speaker 1: Chat was an app built into all of the original
Speaker 1: Nintendo DS's and DS lights where it's a two way
Speaker 1: communication system but it's local, so you have to be
Speaker 1: within like twenty feet or so of the other user
Speaker 1: in order for it to work. But you could like
Speaker 1: text to each other, draw little pictures. But there were
Speaker 1: no ads on it, so it's for talking shit about
Speaker 1: teachers essentially exactly. It was perfect for using in the
Speaker 1: backseat of a car even right, right, Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Rip picto Chat. Yeah, now that we've said it, the
Speaker 1: advertisers are gonna seize on it. All right, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll be right back. And we're back.
Speaker 1: And Roald Dahl was just censored and then uncensored briefly said,
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess they are releasing the books that
Speaker 1: have been censored. But the news that a publisher was
Speaker 1: making changes to his books, such as taking the word
Speaker 1: fat out of stories like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Speaker 1: drew criticism from such you know, stalwarts of the people
Speaker 1: like UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Salman Rushdie jumped in.
Speaker 1: But Queen Consort Camilla, Yeah, sorry, like but I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's just generally like in theory, it's pre dumbed it
Speaker 1: to cry changes made to the work of Royal Dahl
Speaker 1: when the version we're familiar with have been changed, like
Speaker 1: the Oompa loompas of Willy Wonka's Factory were originally slaves
Speaker 1: from quote the very deepest and darkest part of African
Speaker 1: jungle where no white man had been before. And then yeah,
Speaker 1: during his lifetime, people were like that's pretty racist, right,
Speaker 1: It's it's also kind of why like that, so that
Speaker 1: the story like talks about that. And then it's like
Speaker 1: in his novel from nineteen eighty three, The Witches, he's
Speaker 1: so for some reason, I was like, oh, this is
Speaker 1: all happening in the eighteen hundreds or something, But no,
Speaker 1: he was pretty contemporary. And The Witches point is that
Speaker 1: he was like openly anti Semitic. I think like near
Speaker 1: the end of his life was like, I used to
Speaker 1: be anti Israel, and now I'm just like generally anti
Speaker 1: Semitic is kind of my thing, like that, that's not
Speaker 1: somebody describing him, that's him kind of talking about what
Speaker 1: his belief was. And in the book The Whiches tells
Speaker 1: the story of a group of quote, hook nosed women
Speaker 1: who can literally print money and who liked to kidnap
Speaker 1: and murder innocent children, which is a movie I grew
Speaker 1: up watching and didn't know I remember, Yeah, I just
Speaker 1: remade it with Anne Hathaway, which people were like, that's
Speaker 1: a wild choice, Miss Hathaway. Yeah, rold I compared this
Speaker 1: to reading like an HP Lovecraft, which if you're a
Speaker 1: black person you used to be reading a love You're like, wow, cool, mom, oh, no,
Speaker 1: six chapters of racism. I'm like, what are we doing here?
Speaker 1: It's crazy. I still like the way he put words
Speaker 1: in orders. I think sometimes fun sometimes I picture Vincent
Speaker 1: Price's voice when I've reading an HP Lovecraft. I think
Speaker 1: you could probably do similar things here, Like I love
Speaker 1: Jeams from the Giant Peach. Oh my god, it's so good.
Speaker 1: But then you know, you learned cloud people in small Foxes,
Speaker 1: you know issues, So yeah, I don't know what I think,
Speaker 1: like trying to redo these things takes away the conversation,
Speaker 1: the same way they tried to remove the N word
Speaker 1: from all of Mark Twain's books. They were like, it's
Speaker 1: offensive and children don't want to read it. As a
Speaker 1: black kid in all white school hated reading that book
Speaker 1: out loud in class, especially because half the teacher's book
Speaker 1: you have to say the N word, which was a
Speaker 1: lovely day for me, and the other half were like,
Speaker 1: we'll just try to skip it and move around, which
Speaker 1: is equally as awkward. I think you have to create
Speaker 1: settings to let you know kids or whoever is reading
Speaker 1: these books, like, Okay, this is the person. Their thoughts
Speaker 1: and beliefs are going to pop up in the book,
Speaker 1: and we can examine those and have discussions around them
Speaker 1: without trying to erase what was popular, because I think
Speaker 1: that's how we get into a lot of difficult issues,
Speaker 1: like I don't know, why did we have a riot
Speaker 1: at Disney for years that had racist ass cartoon characters
Speaker 1: on them. It didn't make any sense, but people were like,
Speaker 1: it's a classic movie. It's not. It was just a
Speaker 1: movie that did really well in the forties and then
Speaker 1: again in the eighties when racism was on the rise.
Speaker 1: So you know, you gotta take all these things with
Speaker 1: a grain of salt, and I think put them in
Speaker 1: their contextual history. Yeah, yeah, I think that it's like
Speaker 1: a lot of Well, here's my greater thought. I don't
Speaker 1: think that people should make rules for other people in general,
Speaker 1: you know, chaos is what I'm about. But secondly, secondly,
Speaker 1: I think that I think that in this case, the
Speaker 1: smartest thing to do is just educate people like people
Speaker 1: should know, because I think that I think that both
Speaker 1: things could exist. For instance, they're in the public domain.
Speaker 1: People can actually do whatever they want with them, right now,
Speaker 1: that's just the rules. You can do whatever you want
Speaker 1: with public domain material. They can rewrite it in any
Speaker 1: way they want to. But if they do, I think
Speaker 1: they should just label it that is rewritten or redacted
Speaker 1: or whatever. And because there's value in the original text,
Speaker 1: because the original text is a snapshot of a time
Speaker 1: and a place that the world was in, so I
Speaker 1: think it should always exist. But also, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't have to have the in word to enjoy book, Like,
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be there, Like it's not like
Speaker 1: I'm like, I mean, if it doesn't have the in word,
Speaker 1: I won't get anything like come on, like it just
Speaker 1: but but then but then just like it's fine. I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's fine. Like I think that if something
Speaker 1: is in the public domain, then you can just adjust it.
Speaker 1: But then just label it just so people know, Like
Speaker 1: there is a children's version of the Bible. Okay, so
Speaker 1: like the Bible is a public domain and there's a
Speaker 1: children's version. Nobody has a problem with that because you're
Speaker 1: just trying to communicate to the children because they couldn't
Speaker 1: take the text of the Bible. Are there some things
Speaker 1: that people said in the past, maybe that was okay
Speaker 1: to put in books that maybe kids shouldn't see. Maybe,
Speaker 1: But I'm also not going to say that, Like I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say that, Like I'm not gonna tell everybody
Speaker 1: what they must do. I'm just telling people that I
Speaker 1: would rather give people a solution, which is what I'm
Speaker 1: trying to do right now. This is a solution. Label it. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the and like the thing that they did. In response
Speaker 1: to this, Uproar was announced that they would also release
Speaker 1: the Rolled Doll Classics Collection, which will have the author's
Speaker 1: original text. Oh I didn't read that, so but no,
Speaker 1: but I mean that's something like they're acting like they're
Speaker 1: doing this other idea and it's like, no, you were
Speaker 1: probably already gonna like do that selling extra books. This
Speaker 1: is how it gets weird though, right, because well, I
Speaker 1: agreed Victor, people should be allowed to do what they
Speaker 1: want to do. Trying to put up rules and force
Speaker 1: people to do what you want to do or believe
Speaker 1: how you want to believe, it's just gonna cause mess. However,
Speaker 1: if we look at the closing of Magic Mountain, right,
Speaker 1: I had characters from a movie try totally coming up
Speaker 1: blank on the name of that movie. Now you're thinking
Speaker 1: about it, Oh, I just want to tell you that
Speaker 1: I'm a huge HP Lovecraft fan too. That's all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because the man you got to put a word next
Speaker 1: to another word that made a great sentence. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: he just did. But yeah. So, so some of the
Speaker 1: South was essentially about like black people were happy to
Speaker 1: be slaves and a formerly enslaved black person telling this
Speaker 1: story to a white child, and sometimes he did that
Speaker 1: with animated characters. Those characters ended up on this ride.
Speaker 1: So now that becomes like a beacon for racists. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: this ride represents me, and I love it, and it
Speaker 1: feels good here to like common and that's why you
Speaker 1: had like very long lines of people trying to collect
Speaker 1: the water from that ride as it was being shut down,
Speaker 1: which was mind boggling to me. You had a bunch
Speaker 1: of people of color who are Disney fanatics being like,
Speaker 1: so I can't go anywhere near that ride until it's
Speaker 1: officially closed down because people are being weird about it.
Speaker 1: I think when you get so Now, if I go
Speaker 1: into someone's house and I see the Classic collection, am
Speaker 1: I like, is this you clinging to your racism? Is
Speaker 1: this you really liking the books and enjoying them? I
Speaker 1: certainly have a classic HPL. I just think it becomes
Speaker 1: like a very weird, sticky situation, which I guess the
Speaker 1: end result of that is like learn who you're talking
Speaker 1: to you about? But yeah, but it is, it's just
Speaker 1: it's still symbolically it gets weird for me. Well, I
Speaker 1: agree with that too, because I think that Song of
Speaker 1: the South, there's some things that are just like over
Speaker 1: a certain line and everybody kind of knows it all right.
Speaker 1: Song of the South is one of those things that like,
Speaker 1: you know, we don't need that anymore, like you don't
Speaker 1: do you was like this is ridiculous. Please don't release
Speaker 1: this movie. Oh gosh. Yeah, everybody like, we're still doing
Speaker 1: it because the world. Yeah yeah, and it made more
Speaker 1: money when it was rereleased in the eighties. Disney was like,
Speaker 1: not I'm on VHS because that would be weird, but
Speaker 1: we'll do a theatrical release because it's a classic and
Speaker 1: people enjoyed it and uh. Ronald Reagan's eighties were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we will break the box office record of this movie
Speaker 1: for sure. It'll be fun. So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I guess read what you want. I guess dress of
Speaker 1: this just I mean, I hear you one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: Like I even I write up specifically about racism a lot,
Speaker 1: like I think about it all the time. As a
Speaker 1: black person with albinism. I have been around white people
Speaker 1: when they didn't know someone black is around, and so
Speaker 1: I've seen the truth close up. So I think that
Speaker 1: I think that we don't need anything to feel racism
Speaker 1: in America anymore. Like I would get rid of all
Speaker 1: of it if I could, But I don't make the
Speaker 1: choices for everybody right difficult. Yeah, it's a shamrock shake
Speaker 1: racist jack. It's a great question, it is not it
Speaker 1: is coming back. Has anyone had the Shamrock shake besides me?
Speaker 1: Not recently? As a kid, always remember being like, it's
Speaker 1: Shamrocks shake time. I really thought I was tasting something different,
Speaker 1: and then I learned, like, it's just a vanilla shake
Speaker 1: with green colored food Dina right now it has peppermint extract,
Speaker 1: all right, so a little different, okay, okay, yeah, you
Speaker 1: know I clocked by time passage by like what McDonalds,
Speaker 1: which I'm like, oh, the MG rib which is bad,
Speaker 1: like good for those guys. People are really gonna be happy.
Speaker 1: It's lent, so people got their fish sandwich. I know
Speaker 1: they're happy about that. Yeah, you know, artificial scarcity. The
Speaker 1: Irish Catholics are happy we've got the Shamrock shake and
Speaker 1: the fish sandwich is for for Lent, so they're they're okay.
Speaker 1: I think the people that are most openly stereotyped and
Speaker 1: mocked are Italians, especially because Mario exists. Yeah, because like
Speaker 1: everybody everybody else, we were trying to protect, like how
Speaker 1: we depict, but but for dying people, they just have
Speaker 1: to put up. Hey you some me Mario like and
Speaker 1: then Chris Prett does like a more grounded human impress
Speaker 1: impression is this bullshit? Give him a flat ass and no,
Speaker 1: uh Italian, I like that? What am I working with here? Marios?
Speaker 1: That is the flat ass is the most really agreed.
Speaker 1: They did not have to do that to us. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: a bubble and we liked it that way. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: so yeah, I mean, it's just a green milkshake injected
Speaker 1: with mint flavoring. It's back for Saint Patrick's Day season.
Speaker 1: Some people love it. I actually don't mind it. I
Speaker 1: reminds me of like the mint chocolate chip ice cream,
Speaker 1: which I always liked as a kid, you know, so
Speaker 1: like I have that as a bassline. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people are like, why does this taste like toothpaste?
Speaker 1: So if you're not like a mint person and like
Speaker 1: your only real encounter with mint is toothpaste, I get it.
Speaker 1: Other people described the taste as mega ass. Is one
Speaker 1: description mega ass mega ass. I've never heard as mega ass.
Speaker 1: I've never heard it before, but I get it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: This tweet from said Big red Shirt Too tweeted never
Speaker 1: trusting white people to tell me what tastes good again,
Speaker 1: because the Shamrock Shake tasted mega ass. Okay, that's I
Speaker 1: mean I feel like you're going for the like if
Speaker 1: you want to go for a mint chocolate chip vibe.
Speaker 1: Though they have chocolate sauce. I think you could just
Speaker 1: ask them to blend it in right. That might mask
Speaker 1: the raels on another level here, Yes, I know, it's
Speaker 1: really elevating what can be done. I keep a bottle
Speaker 1: of Hershey's syrup and my purse, Like, you know, ches,
Speaker 1: we can do better, Jack, we can do better. Hershey
Speaker 1: Syrup is not chalky, it is. It's more sugar than anything.
Speaker 1: Like they actually make my own chocolate some people. But whatever.
Speaker 1: So anyways, Darry Queen has gotten into the end of
Speaker 1: the game Saint Patrick's Day frozen dessert. It's called Under
Speaker 1: the Rainbow Shake. It's pretty, it is, it's really beautiful.
Speaker 1: So they're bringing back the mint Brownie Blizzard. But then
Speaker 1: they've also got the Under the Rainbow Shake, which is
Speaker 1: pink with sprinkles and very pretty. They missed out on
Speaker 1: a collaboration with Lucky Charms. They could have done Lucky Charms,
Speaker 1: but then, I don't know, I guess it does speaking
Speaker 1: of chalky, I don't know. I feel like the Lucky
Speaker 1: Charms marshmallows are a bit chalky, like, I don't know
Speaker 1: that I want that, am I I wouldn't, but you
Speaker 1: know children and stoners would, and that I think it's
Speaker 1: who they're really selling to. I think I have a
Speaker 1: couple of thoughts about the shake. Okay, under the rainbow
Speaker 1: it's not where the leper con lives. No, it's the
Speaker 1: end of the end of the rainbow. It should be
Speaker 1: called the end of the Rainbow shake. And yeah, you
Speaker 1: can even possibly go over the rainbow and lean into
Speaker 1: your Wizard of Oz heritage and just it's a magical
Speaker 1: place over the rainbow. But under the rainbow is where
Speaker 1: the rain is and not where I want to eat
Speaker 1: an ice cream. So that's a problem. Yeah. So anyways,
Speaker 1: I'm just glad we're honoring Saint Patrick's Day with you know,
Speaker 1: thoughtful treats that you know, this one, this one is
Speaker 1: much better looking. I will say it's a it's a beautiful,
Speaker 1: colorful mass. But I can get on board with I
Speaker 1: just I mean, I love ice cream, so I'm just
Speaker 1: freaking out about talking about ice cream makes me want
Speaker 1: to go and get an ice cream. Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: just looking at gelato. I'm not even gonna lie un anymore.
Speaker 1: But sometimes I can swilling at gelato. You know, between
Speaker 1: gelato and ice cream, gelato has more air. They're a
Speaker 1: little less dairy in your gelato than in your ice cream.
Speaker 1: Got it. And if you go to a good gelatto place,
Speaker 1: they're gonna have really good, like fresh ingredients. So and
Speaker 1: you eat it, you feel superior. I don't feel better
Speaker 1: for you, but you definitely feel about it, like God,
Speaker 1: This mingos are may gosh, wow delicious. I think you're
Speaker 1: gonna celebrate you in Patrick's day. You need to do
Speaker 1: it like your ancestors would. Get a potato makes some
Speaker 1: I would recommend a lemon potato leak soup. It's very tasty,
Speaker 1: super delicious, cold in California. Do I want to make
Speaker 1: a potato leak soup? I might listen they were not
Speaker 1: eating this ice cream, so oh, a potato leaks soup
Speaker 1: sticks to your ribs. It's okay. I think my ancestors
Speaker 1: would just get drunk. Would be how how if I
Speaker 1: wanted to honor it the way they did. But it's
Speaker 1: also fair. Get a donk Guinness, let's do this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just a meal loaf of bread. Well, Victor Rachel has

Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Rachel, I cut you off. That's okay, that's okay, yeah, sorry,
Speaker 1: some ear bleach after having to listen to that. I
Speaker 1: have really been in love with the Wikipedia page for
Speaker 1: MEO recently gives mew just mio, okay, get like they're
Speaker 1: giving you the whys and the howls and what it
Speaker 1: means when your kiddies meal and itches. Yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: all about it breaks down when the kittens go from
Speaker 1: you to meow. It talks about the different toneages. There's
Speaker 1: lots of cute cat picks on there. It's really good.
Speaker 1: Stuff is lovely palatanser. That's the craziest thing about reading
Speaker 1: Wikipedia pages about normal things. I'm times it's just that
Speaker 1: they go so deep it's crazy. Yeah, it's pretty nuts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a really interesting Like in the wild, cats
Speaker 1: don't actually usually vocalize, but like after a certain age,
Speaker 1: because it's just a way to communicate, like feed me
Speaker 1: to the mom. But when they're in, when they're like
Speaker 1: owned and cohabitating with a human, that's when they met
Speaker 1: out because they're like these dumb motherfuckers. It's true. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I have a cat, one cat that's very talkative and
Speaker 1: one cat that only talks when there's trouble. When there's
Speaker 1: a problem, he's like, where's the food that I like,
Speaker 1: we have one cat who just just says, you've ignored
Speaker 1: us too long, but the other cat is like all
Speaker 1: the time, very weird thing, Joel. Where can people find you?
Speaker 1: What is a tweet or work of media you've been enjoying?
Speaker 1: Y'all know me? You can find me all of the internet.
Speaker 1: Atual Monique, it's j O E l E m O
Speaker 1: n I q u E something I've been loving on
Speaker 1: the Internet. Okay. TikTok has a new AI filter that
Speaker 1: makes you look like your teenage self and jen xers
Speaker 1: are having a time and it's really weird and cool
Speaker 1: but also sad, but it's okay. So basically, people are
Speaker 1: doing the filter with a split screen so you can
Speaker 1: see their current self and their teenage self. But what's
Speaker 1: interesting about it is it's not to certainly focus on
Speaker 1: like the filter and like, oh look how like young
Speaker 1: and how I am. It's like, oh, now I'm talking
Speaker 1: to my inner child and people are crying, look at
Speaker 1: how beautiful I was? I really like I didn't treat
Speaker 1: myself well or just feeling my God like I've aged
Speaker 1: so much. This is weird and what is that me?
Speaker 1: My favorite one is a mom bringing her teenage daughter
Speaker 1: into it so they can see what they would have
Speaker 1: looked like as teenagers together. Oh it's cute and heartfelt,
Speaker 1: but then scary. I didn't see any black people on
Speaker 1: it for so long. I was like, because black don't
Speaker 1: crack and we're good. But then I saw them and
Speaker 1: they were crying too, and I was like, well, we're
Speaker 1: all by age. It's going to happen eventually. But it's
Speaker 1: really lovely. Somebody collected them on Twitter memo act ten
Speaker 1: ak t eaton if you want to check it out
Speaker 1: a collection of them, but you can also just go
Speaker 1: to ai art on TikTok and find it under that
Speaker 1: hashtag as well. It's really it's it's wild stuff see
Speaker 1: people in their sixties looking at their teenage selves and yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's accurate, like people are like, that is what
Speaker 1: I looked like. It depends. So there's this one girl,
Speaker 1: I don't know what her ethnicity was, but she was
Speaker 1: browner and she was like, yeah, so when I was
Speaker 1: a teenager, I had a unibrow and a nose job.
Speaker 1: After I was a teenager and so I was much
Speaker 1: uglier than what this reception is. So if you have
Speaker 1: aged naturally, most people are saying it's pretty accurate description
Speaker 1: of what they looked like as a teenager. There you go.
Speaker 1: M You can find me on Twitter. Jack underscorel Brian tweet,
Speaker 1: I've been enjoying. Abbie Norman tweeted my husband gives people
Speaker 1: the thumbs down instead of flicking them off from the car.
Speaker 1: He reports that the thumbs down makes people even more mad.
Speaker 1: I do love a good thumbs down. I'd love to
