Speaker 2: Who had a rocket powered car?
Speaker 3: James Hetfield. It's in Some kind of Monster. He gets
Speaker 3: pulled over by a cop and then the cop recognizes
Speaker 3: him and it's a whole thing, and he like has
Speaker 3: this moment where He's like, what do I expect? Is
Speaker 3: it like I ride this thing? And because I don't
Speaker 3: want to be noticed, it's like it's kind of amazing.

Speaker 3: maybe we should try to get a manager. I was like,
Speaker 3: so how do I do that?
Speaker 2: Do?
Speaker 3: I just like ask other actors like, hey, can I
Speaker 3: have your manager?
Speaker 1: It didn't really work.

Speaker 2: that's just what happens when you ask other people like, hey,
Speaker 2: how's your manager, and like, well, they're kind of you know,
Speaker 2: we would kind of be going for the same stuff,
Speaker 2: so maybe fuck off.
Speaker 3: You know, we already got a couple of Pakistanis, so
Speaker 3: the quota has been filled. Maybe we could move.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I started.

Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just got frozen pizzas and stuff, and he's
Speaker 3: like playing against sixty.
Speaker 2: Four on the couch, sleeping.
Speaker 1: Francesca.
Speaker 2: What's something from your search history that's revealing about who
Speaker 2: you are?
Speaker 5: So I was looking at my duck Duck Go, which
Speaker 5: is what I used to search things obviously because maximum privacy,
Speaker 5: maximum quackery, and uh, I found this search history that
Speaker 5: was like from a few days ago that was just
Speaker 5: baby airplanes overhead.
Speaker 6: I was like, what the fuck was I looking?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Can you think about like when I say those three words,
Speaker 5: what was I trying to look up?
Speaker 3: Baby?
Speaker 4: Like one of those things for a crib Like.
Speaker 1: No, no, like a mobile?
Speaker 4: Like a mobile?
Speaker 1: A mobile?
Speaker 2: Baby? Okay, you red baby airplanes overhead? So it's not
Speaker 2: a mobile airplane mobile, it's that you were looking for
Speaker 2: maybe some kind of baby accessory that could go in
Speaker 2: the overhead, yes, like a stroller.
Speaker 5: I was image searching because back in like the sixties, right,
Speaker 5: you know, airline travel was a lot calmer.
Speaker 7: It was a lot chiller.
Speaker 5: Like now, you know, climate change is ruined all the
Speaker 5: jet streams and you know, everything's crazy turbulence, say nothing
Speaker 5: of the FAA.
Speaker 7: But back in the day, they would put babies in
Speaker 7: the overhead compartment like a little sling and they could
Speaker 7: just sleep there. And look, I.
Speaker 5: Don't of course, it wasn't safe. Nothing was safe. There
Speaker 5: weren't even car seats back then. But like, it's just
Speaker 5: so I love the image of that, and I was
Speaker 5: setting it to a mom friend of mine, like, you
Speaker 5: know what happened?
Speaker 7: America used to be great?
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, we're chicken shit.
Speaker 5: You've seen them, right, They're just like like little baby
Speaker 5: and you can't I don't.
Speaker 1: Know, Oh my god, so crazy.
Speaker 2: Shout out to man. Shout out to the sixties man, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're smoking at Yeah.
Speaker 4: Bringing back fifty still bring that back too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Beyonce, bring back babies in overhead.
Speaker 5: It's so good in the fifties. Look at that baby.
Speaker 5: See there's then there's plenty of space. Now you're just
Speaker 5: figuring out how to squeeze in a coach.
Speaker 2: God, when America used to be some we had Jim
Speaker 2: Crow laws and babies could be in the overhead exactly.
Speaker 1: Take us back, Beyonce.
Speaker 7: So funny, baby overhead.
Speaker 2: Baby, overhead shout out overhead projectors too. Did you guys have, Francisca,
Speaker 2: I know you're requisitely elder enough to remember overhead projectors
Speaker 2: for school?
Speaker 1: Oh they still do those? Oh yeah, boy, you had
Speaker 1: them too?
Speaker 2: Oh hell yeah, okay, so they still fuck with overhead
Speaker 2: projectors with the vis.
Speaker 1: I V pens on a transparency.
Speaker 6: I think it's it's.
Speaker 7: An easier way than.
Speaker 2: Like a whiteboard, Yeah, because you don't have to get up.
Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, let me just write on this light box.
Speaker 2: What do you mean?
Speaker 5: Or are you just using your computer these days? I
Speaker 5: love just watching the teacher's hand like erase everything they
Speaker 5: just wrote.
Speaker 2: If they were a lefty, oh yeah, yeah yeah, or
Speaker 2: they had to do that like crazy hookhand to be
Speaker 2: like I will not smear the ink that I'm rating.
Speaker 2: It's just.
Speaker 1: What is tim Something you think is overrated.
Speaker 8: Something that I think is overright, Okay, So I'm a
Speaker 8: big geek, like I love technology, and I got to
Speaker 8: tell the people from my tech ivory tower where I
Speaker 8: get a very good view of everything. You've got to
Speaker 8: stop buying flagship phones. They're so expensive and so unnecessary.
Speaker 8: Like ninety nine point nine percent of the population should
Speaker 8: be buying cheaper phones than what they're getting. And this
Speaker 8: applies for like laptops and tablets as well. We've sort
Speaker 8: of in a bunch of different devices, we've.
Speaker 2: Reached peak thing.
Speaker 8: We've reached peak phone like years ago, peak laptop years ago.
Speaker 8: So you can either pay three thousand dollars to get
Speaker 8: the best laptop on the market, or literally pay half
Speaker 8: that amount to get like ninety five percent of that.
Speaker 8: And it's the same with phones all the cameras. Now,
Speaker 8: as long as you're paying like above sort of four
Speaker 8: hundred dollars US for a phone, now, you're going to
Speaker 8: be getting like the camera will be pretty fucking similar
Speaker 8: to the one that you're paying twelve hundred dollars for.
Speaker 9: You think I want ninety five percent water in my toilet?
Speaker 9: Do you think I'm gonna have a ninety five percent
Speaker 9: is good phone? I'm American, Okay, I want a phone
Speaker 9: big enough to defend me from the mass shootings?
Speaker 1: What about this?
Speaker 2: What about that?
Speaker 8: Save money by not buying two flagship phone, by buying
Speaker 8: one flagship phone, by two mid range phones, you can
Speaker 8: put one in each breast pocket and then no matter
Speaker 8: which way the shooter comes from, you protect it.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good, that's a reasonable But like having a
Speaker 1: disposable phone that you just.
Speaker 9: Fucking need one Now we need one to get back
Speaker 9: into the US.
Speaker 1: So when you're talking flagship, is that like iPhones and
Speaker 1: like Apple products essentially top of the line stuff.
Speaker 8: Just don't get like, no one really should be getting
Speaker 8: the top of the line stuff. And it's where all
Speaker 8: the companies make all their money because below that the
Speaker 8: profit margins are a lot lower.
Speaker 4: They're so expensive.
Speaker 9: But also like they require such like geekree to like
Speaker 9: know the difference between like what you're missing and what
Speaker 9: you like want for what you're doing.
Speaker 8: Fucking it's a standard symbol. It's like pure status symbol.
Speaker 8: So please invest a little bit of time in going
Speaker 8: to therapy and sorting yourself out rather than getting fifteen
Speaker 8: hundred dollars phone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your dads here.
Speaker 4: Now what what what phone do?
Speaker 8: You have, I'd ask you not to out me like that. Please.
Speaker 9: Oh wow, I thought you were going to give me
Speaker 9: some insight into like ad.
Speaker 8: I'm a big nude and I got a really good
Speaker 8: deal on it. So I got one of those phones
Speaker 8: that folds.
Speaker 1: Oh I love.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's pretty extra, And I have just made myself
Speaker 8: a pretty big hypocrite, but i'd be I'd be super
Speaker 8: happy with Like, for example, if you're an Android person,
Speaker 8: there's like the same sung A has really good I
Speaker 8: feel like great, yeah, great, it's cheap.
Speaker 1: Great.
Speaker 9: Would you if you were a person who wanted a
Speaker 9: non flagship phone, would you be alienating yourself in a
Speaker 9: group chat? Would that be an Oh?
Speaker 8: Yeah, what's the deal with I need because I've always
Speaker 8: been an Android dude? Sorry, because I'm a I'm a nerd,
Speaker 8: So what's the deal?
Speaker 3: Didn't they fix that?
Speaker 8: Didn't they fix that?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 9: If you're if you're the if you don't know about
Speaker 9: the green bubble, you are the green bubble?
Speaker 8: Yeah? I know, but didn't they fix it?
Speaker 1: Didn't they get like, probably a way to get around it.
Speaker 8: They got them talking to each other.
Speaker 4: Now, maybe I don't know if I still enjoy that discrimination?
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I think that's for that's like a flex by Apple
Speaker 1: to make sure that you.
Speaker 8: Don't people in my life who pay me out for
Speaker 8: having an Android phone. Am I like very good comedian
Speaker 8: gay friends, So that's mere.
Speaker 1: Whifferings.
Speaker 4: Oh no, oh no, I'm too deep.
Speaker 1: What is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 10: I wrote this down and I was like, people might
Speaker 10: get mad, but it just came from that because I
Speaker 10: didn't have time to like. I just like, this is
Speaker 10: from the gut. I think Sabrina Carpenter is overrated.
Speaker 6: Oh I know, and I'm already like regretting saying it,
Speaker 6: but it is my truth and I don't even like
Speaker 6: It's not that I don't like her.
Speaker 10: I just I think there's this like stardom that happens
Speaker 10: now that I think she's great, but I think the
Speaker 10: level of stardom that happens in the few years to
Speaker 10: become these megastars because of I don't know, digital consumption,
Speaker 10: it feels blown out of proportion compared to the artists
Speaker 10: we saw growing up. That like we've tracked over her
Speaker 10: career and watched them really rise and hone their talent,
Speaker 10: but specifically it Sabrina Carpenter, but she kind of represents
Speaker 10: that from me. I don't know, because I see her
Speaker 10: everywhere and she's cool, but like I I don't, I
Speaker 10: don't know. I'm just like, why is she that big?
Speaker 10: She's fine. I feel like I'm gonna I'm already saying
Speaker 10: this and I'm gonna like get backlash.
Speaker 6: But you know, I think she's overrated. I don't think
Speaker 6: she's a bad singer.
Speaker 10: I just when I hear her early stuff, I don't
Speaker 10: hear like she didn't find her voice for a while
Speaker 10: and now her whole thing has just kind of being
Speaker 10: like she's got a look and she's funny, which I
Speaker 10: think is cool. But like as a singer, I don't
Speaker 10: really know, Like I don't really know where.
Speaker 6: Her voice is.
Speaker 11: Mm hmmm. It is weird, like who gets anointed the
Speaker 11: next thing where I'm sure there's like a hundred, you know,
Speaker 11: like Cybrina Carpenter, a Cyprina Carpenter bees, you know, like
Speaker 11: like a bunch of different ones. So but I'm but
Speaker 11: I think she's great.
Speaker 1: I like her.
Speaker 10: I just she's so big, or maybe I'm maybe I'm
Speaker 10: just getting a lot of it on TikTok. But I
Speaker 10: am getting a level of Sabrina that makes it look
Speaker 10: like she's like Brittany, and I don't feel like she's
Speaker 10: our Brittany, Like I don't think she's there unless I'm
Speaker 10: being naive. But I feel like we saw, like, you know,
Speaker 10: like and before Brittany, there's a Madonna, And people compared
Speaker 10: Brittany to Madonna, and they compared her early, and I
Speaker 10: think she rose to that. So maybe Sabrina will rise
Speaker 10: to that. But I feel like she's getting that kind
Speaker 10: of exposure where I'm not seen as an artist. It
Speaker 10: feels like manufacturer, like the people around her like, let's
Speaker 10: keep making money off of this person, as opposed to.
Speaker 6: Like she's like, this is what I want to do next.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 11: No, So in Jack that Sabrina Carpenter is a pop star,
Speaker 11: who is She's.
Speaker 1: Not a Carpenter. Sorry, I was over here at Google.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find out. I was trying to find
Speaker 1: some of her work's.
Speaker 6: Yeah, she has a neo baby, she's related to Jesus.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like Nick Offerman. And then I was trying to
Speaker 1: find out if this was another one of these Carpenters.
Speaker 1: I know, I don't know enough about Sabrina Carpenter to
Speaker 1: like whole day strong opinion. I know the song Espresso,
Speaker 1: and I know Miles was just talking about the fact
Speaker 1: that there's a part of that song where she goes,
Speaker 1: Kauza'm a singer, And I.
Speaker 10: Do like that those little moments she has some funny
Speaker 10: I think she's getting into like she's exploring her voice
Speaker 10: and that funny part is coming out more.
Speaker 1: But yeah, but yeah, it does feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: the eighties monoculture, where it was like Madonna and Michael
Speaker 1: Jackson and that's plenty. We have all the we have
Speaker 1: all the artists that we need, and then it's been
Speaker 1: just like a fracturing into like all the pieces of
Speaker 1: those artists just like break out into different musicians and
Speaker 1: they all become big and everybody buys all the albums,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, it seems to be working out
Speaker 1: for them, but I feel you.
Speaker 10: I do hope it's working out for them. I mean,
Speaker 10: I think it's working out for her, But it does
Speaker 10: scare me about the industry a bit, because I think
Speaker 10: it's becoming more and more the same people behind the
Speaker 10: scenes making money, and they'll just throw her away or
Speaker 10: put someone else new out there and hopefully she you know,
Speaker 10: is savvy, but it does scare me a bit the
Speaker 10: way they turn you.
Speaker 1: You typically a fan of, like is Brittany the previous
Speaker 1: version of this that you're like, this is, this is
Speaker 1: how it's done, this is and I don't.
Speaker 6: Look, I'm listing.
Speaker 10: I went to Taylor, so so I don't you know,
Speaker 10: I'm not like here toll Like I'm not saying like,
Speaker 10: oh my god, Sabrina Carpenter a girly pop like that's
Speaker 10: not really what I'm trying to say. But I think
Speaker 10: I don't know, maybe it's something Wow, this feels like therapy,
Speaker 10: maybe something more sinister. I feel about the industry, like
Speaker 10: it's like as it's falling apart and they're taking away
Speaker 10: from new independent artists.
Speaker 6: They are also like slapping, like.
Speaker 10: You know, people like Sabrina, she's gonna make a lot
Speaker 10: from it, but they're not necessarily have her best interests
Speaker 10: at her. And I feel like you see that with Chaperone,
Speaker 10: but she's more vocal about it.
Speaker 6: But it feels like there's something like crumpling in the
Speaker 6: back and that scares me.
Speaker 10: And meanwhile, everyone's just like money, money, you give me more,
Speaker 10: but no to answer.
Speaker 4: Your question.
Speaker 10: I love pop, all right. I mean I had a
Speaker 10: podcast about Ariana Grande.
Speaker 1: So that's right. Yeah, is the is the truth and
Speaker 1: Sabrina Carpenter is.
Speaker 4: Against each other.
Speaker 6: No, I'm not going to pick you a woman against
Speaker 6: you can like both.
Speaker 10: But Ariana's voice, I will say, it's very consistent from
Speaker 10: the beginning. Like you hear her voice and it's like
Speaker 10: you're like, that's why that that needs to be recorded?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear her sing and I'm like why she
Speaker 1: got to show off like that? Yeah, but she's a
Speaker 1: She's a great singer, Serena Carpenter. The only other thing
Speaker 1: I'm aware of, other than because I'm a singer, is
Speaker 1: the there seems to be a meme linking her as
Speaker 1: like the Hillary Clinton via with the substance, like if
Speaker 1: if Hillary Clinton took the substance, she would be Carpenter.
Speaker 6: I have not seen that, and that is interesting.
Speaker 1: I see that a lot.
Speaker 2: To me, I see that a lot.
Speaker 1: I see that. It's everywhere. I see it, everywhere I
Speaker 1: see it. Ever, Anyways, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll come back and we'll talk about the enhanced games.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back, and we're back Trump's tax bill
Speaker 2: was finally it got out of committee over the weekend.
Speaker 2: It died on Friday, and I was like, oh, look
Speaker 2: at this, Chip Roy found a backbone. I mean, he's
Speaker 2: always been a pretty big deficit hawk, but he, like him,
Speaker 2: along with I think six other Republicans tanked it on Friday,
Speaker 2: only for them to do whatever they had to do
Speaker 2: because you know, Jesus jerk off eye.
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House Mike Johnson was like, what do.
Speaker 2: You guys need for me to for for for you
Speaker 2: guys to at least let this thing get out of committee.
Speaker 2: Apparently they made I was like, that sounds like a.
Speaker 4: My pillow guy.
Speaker 1: It was disparate.
Speaker 2: Well here, well, no, I think as long as we
Speaker 2: came together with a common sort of understanding about how
Speaker 2: we're going to move forward with this.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, go on with this story.
Speaker 2: He's very but Mike Johnson is very one note like that,
Speaker 2: and it's very you know, you're the same.
Speaker 1: Look, man, I don't.
Speaker 2: Even do a good Obama, but.
Speaker 4: I guess my coolie Miles do it.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm back. So anyway, this thing is now,
Speaker 2: This is now the real fucking this is the this
Speaker 2: is the time. Are they gonna ram through this reconciliation
Speaker 2: bill that basically has all of the things Donald Trump
Speaker 2: wants for his agenda right, Like he needs he needs
Speaker 2: to make sure that the Trump tax cuts don't expire.
Speaker 2: He wants to increase military and immigrant harassment spending. He
Speaker 2: needs a bigger budget for that. He needs to raise
Speaker 2: the debt ceiling, because I mean, I thought this was
Speaker 2: to attack the debt, but also we need we kind
Speaker 2: of needed some room there to have a higher deficit.
Speaker 2: And then part of all that is to power this
Speaker 2: by slashing so many social programs. It even makes Republican
Speaker 2: members of Congresses I believe they're like, I, this actually
Speaker 2: will decimate rural healthcare systems if we do this, What
Speaker 2: am I supposed to do? So this was all happening.
Speaker 2: Moody's also downgraded our credit rating. Uh just you know, sure,
Speaker 2: that's fine, it's fine. It's all just fine. But there's
Speaker 2: still just a ton of disagreement, like within the party,
Speaker 2: Like there's some that are arguing, like these cuts aren't
Speaker 2: deepened off, we need no one to have not seing
Speaker 2: is one strategy. Then other people like you know, cutting
Speaker 2: medicaid is a non starter for me, there's no way
Speaker 2: I can go to my district and be like, yeah, man, you're.
Speaker 4: Fucked terrified of the town hall.
Speaker 2: Yeah, already already. And then others take an issue with
Speaker 2: like the number of clean energy projects that are being gutted.
Speaker 2: Some are saying not enough clean energy projects are being gutted.
Speaker 1: There's this.
Speaker 2: Then you have all the New York, New Jersey, California
Speaker 2: Republicans who are like, we need our salt tax cap
Speaker 2: raised or abolished completely. So everyone has like their own
Speaker 2: specific thing. How Mike Johnson makes all of this work
Speaker 2: we are yet to see. But he has pressure because
Speaker 2: he's been telling Trump, I'm going to have this on
Speaker 2: your desk by Memorial Day, baby, so we can really
Speaker 2: fucking kick this thing off.
Speaker 5: But yeah, so interesting is that, like they could just
Speaker 5: do this the way they did the first Trump tax cuts,
Speaker 5: which is be utter hypocrites about the deficit which is
Speaker 5: again kind of largely made up depending on how you
Speaker 5: look at it, and just ram them through anyway and
Speaker 5: add four trillion more dollars to the deficit like those
Speaker 5: tax cuts did and allowed fillion oh thank you, yeah,
Speaker 5: and allowed you could write off your sixty million dollar
Speaker 5: private jet. That was one of the many things in
Speaker 5: addition to your yachts. But the fact that they're trying,
Speaker 5: they want to do this big, beautiful bill. They're trying
Speaker 5: to do everything in budget reconciliation, remember, which was where
Speaker 5: also the Democrats in twenty twenty one tried to get
Speaker 5: through like a fifteen dollars minimum wage and then Kirsten
Speaker 5: Centima voted that shit down.
Speaker 7: But like, this is what's so difficult about all this
Speaker 7: is that you can't please.
Speaker 5: Every single person, and you're being totally dishonest because all
Speaker 5: this bill is about is simply a wealth transfer to
Speaker 5: the richest people.
Speaker 7: So stop talking about medicaid. Don't even make it about medicaid.
Speaker 7: Find the money somewhere else, or don't find it at all.
Speaker 7: Just live in your own hypocrisy.
Speaker 1: This is gonna help man.
Speaker 2: When all the billionaires get a tax cut, it's gonna
Speaker 2: trickle fucking in a direction.
Speaker 1: It will trickle someone understand.
Speaker 4: I want to be a richer while immigrants get poor.
Speaker 2: This is great.
Speaker 9: You want to hurt people, Okay.
Speaker 1: So this is for you, This bill is for you.
Speaker 2: Actually, we found something. There's a whole trillion dollars to
Speaker 2: terrorize immigrants in here.
Speaker 5: Okay, this is also really important. Yeah, I mean that's
Speaker 5: fucking insane. While the same time you're like, oh, sorry,
Speaker 5: we can't. So not only is a direct wealth transfer
Speaker 5: to the wealthy already wealthy, it's a wealth transfer to
Speaker 5: you're not gonna have healthcare, disabled person, poor child, new mother,
Speaker 5: you work, because we have to round up children and
Speaker 5: women and grandmothers with all of this, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, three year olds immigration court that sit.
Speaker 1: Do you think.
Speaker 9: Can hunt island costs nothing? We're hunting men on the island.
Speaker 1: To them, how do we how do we populate said island?
Speaker 4: We have to set out the mines. That's expensive.
Speaker 2: There's like, you know, reporting that. Trump is definitely trying
Speaker 2: to manage all of it too, Like it sounds like
Speaker 2: the people that are sort of in battleground districts he's
Speaker 2: kind of becoming a little more sensitive to because he
Speaker 2: does not want to lose a Chamber of Congress in
Speaker 2: the midterms, Like that's a huge thing for him.
Speaker 1: So even now.
Speaker 2: He's kind of like trying to be like, what the
Speaker 2: how do I fucking have it all ways? At the
Speaker 2: same time, because he definitely doesn't want to have a
Speaker 2: bunch of Democrats and have enough power to do investigations,
Speaker 2: and he has to defend himself against you know, his
Speaker 2: own fucking actions.
Speaker 4: But then there's so he wriggled out of that.
Speaker 1: Just fine, Yeah, yeah, don't worry.
Speaker 5: They won't anyway, even with the majority. So what happened
Speaker 5: in the last four years?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, remember that when they beg you for
Speaker 2: your vote again, be like, yeah, sorry, what happened last time?
Speaker 1: And what will you do different this time?
Speaker 2: You're like, well, we aren't them at least.
Speaker 1: Oh, we're back to the same thing. You're not them.
Speaker 5: We're gonna slowly think about possibly holding Donald Trump accountable.
Speaker 7: But democracy, let's decided by the ballad box.
Speaker 9: A just give me five dollars, just for the love
Speaker 9: of God, I just need five more dollars.
Speaker 7: I'm upset as you are.
Speaker 2: Upset. There was a video of her recently. I thought
Speaker 2: was ai I was, I'm not, mostly because it.
Speaker 7: Would be the first congress person.
Speaker 1: To it was that Cadence.
Speaker 2: I was like, it's a little jilted, Like I was like,
Speaker 2: what's going on?
Speaker 7: And I was like, oh, jilt it got left at
Speaker 7: the altar.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was.
Speaker 2: She was just I don't know how that came out, but.
Speaker 5: Yet, did I this being an asshole?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 2: No, I love it, and I think I do want
Speaker 2: to think of it like that she was left at
Speaker 2: the altar, you know, and that's why she talks like that.
Speaker 5: Her dentures, her dentures were like sorry.
Speaker 2: But yeah. So the other thing too, is like a
Speaker 2: lot of the shitty cuts that are being proposed, like
Speaker 2: cuts to snap or like medicaid, they're timing those so
Speaker 2: they don't hit until the end of his turn to
Speaker 2: basically make a fucking catastrophe for the next administration, which
Speaker 2: could be him.
Speaker 7: Exactly do you want to run again?
Speaker 2: But it's weird he's doing the sort of maneuvering as
Speaker 2: if he's like, man, I'm gonna be out after this,
Speaker 2: but at least we can reset the clock on making
Speaker 2: the Democrats be responsible for a financial situation we couldn't
Speaker 2: be doing.
Speaker 9: He's acting, and so he's going to be out in
Speaker 9: like another month, like with the amount of shit he's
Speaker 9: done so.
Speaker 1: Far, totally.
Speaker 5: So, I mean, that's what's crazy about this whole And
Speaker 5: it has like been only over a few whatever, like
Speaker 5: three and a half days.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's just sprint, not a marathon, and we're like yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, slow your role. There's plenty of time
Speaker 5: to destroy everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pace yourself.
Speaker 2: Hello, Like, don't burn all your capital, your political capital.
Speaker 1: Like that in one go.
Speaker 2: It stretched it out a little bit.
Speaker 1: Don't do this big, beautiful building.
Speaker 5: I mean, this is what they're doing, right, because this
Speaker 5: is they could not in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 7: Cut Obamacare. That was remember the town hall's there.
Speaker 1: So they have to kill it indirectly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, But it is still a massive swing to
Speaker 5: even say the word medicaid. I mean, good on the
Speaker 5: media whatever is left of it for making that the
Speaker 5: sole issue. But some Republicans are walking into that trap
Speaker 5: of being like, oh, medicaid. You know a lot of
Speaker 5: people are lying when they're on it, and they're openly
Speaker 5: saying this. The disabled people are lying about it, and
Speaker 5: it's like m m ooh, that's not going to play
Speaker 5: well at all. So Donaldan should be fucking worried. And
Speaker 5: I think this is where the pressure points are. I
Speaker 5: don't give a shit about the other ones who are like, oh,
Speaker 5: we haven't found enough cuts, shut up. It's the people
Speaker 5: who are scared of their own constituents.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who know, they're like this has this will be
Speaker 2: fall off from this, Like even Josh Holly's like, y'all
Speaker 2: don't fucking medicaid. I don't know, bro, And I'll do
Speaker 2: the thing where I sound like the I'm gonna be
Speaker 2: the first one out to try and get myself covered
Speaker 2: to act like the most sane guy in the Senate
Speaker 2: by being the first one to be like, that's political suice.
Speaker 2: I would not do that. That's immoral. And then but
Speaker 2: I won't stop it if it happened exactly, but I
Speaker 2: will be you.
Speaker 9: Need to backtrack and get back in Trump's graces later,
Speaker 9: like everybody has done it. So yeah, it's a lot
Speaker 9: easier to go out and object and then go back in.
Speaker 7: But the groceries, you know, it's such an old fashioned term.
Speaker 2: When I came up with that term, I remember the
Speaker 2: year was eighteen fifty nine.
Speaker 1: I came up with the term groceries.
Speaker 2: It was a fantastic day eat those groceries.
Speaker 7: We were right in the precipice of the Civil War.
Speaker 2: I was doing. I was doing on one of my friends,
Speaker 2: and I realized I did the best us. I didn't
Speaker 2: have a thing of saying I ate the ass light
Speaker 2: and then ah groceries.
Speaker 4: You know, I taught him Mari on those those movie.
Speaker 2: It just wasn't hitting when I said, I ate the
Speaker 2: as like my hull when I got back from the
Speaker 2: general store with salt, pork and the like included, and
Speaker 2: I needed something a little bit more concise.
Speaker 6: I also gave him the idea for ice box.
Speaker 2: So one of the things like for just just the
Speaker 2: things that are timed differently, like snap benefits, right, they
Speaker 2: wouldn't shift the cost to the states for snap benefits
Speaker 2: until fiscal year twenty twenty eight. Medicaid work requirements that
Speaker 2: Republicans are being like, this will this will be like
Speaker 2: a good three hundred billion dollars hit of savings that
Speaker 2: won't begin until twenty twenty nine. So they're doing they're
Speaker 2: trying to do as much too, with also sweeteners to
Speaker 2: be like there'll be a new Senior Victory Fund grant
Speaker 2: you can get or a baby.
Speaker 4: Reinventing the shit that we already had.
Speaker 2: They're just well, I don't like but even the thing
Speaker 2: like right, like the the cutting the taxes on tips
Speaker 2: and things like that, those aren't even while he did
Speaker 2: say that, and it's popular, like the economists that like
Speaker 2: are talking about this are saying, like it's not gonna
Speaker 2: be that big of a thing. This is quote. It
Speaker 2: says the proposed tax cuts only apply to income taxes,
Speaker 2: not payroll taxes. That means the estimated thirty seven percent
Speaker 2: of tipped workers in the country who didn't make enough
Speaker 2: money to face federal income taxes in twenty twenty two,
Speaker 2: that's when this analysis happened, would see no benefits from
Speaker 2: this proposal. Uh, this is another economistic quote. It is
Speaker 2: also going to do very little for workers even that
Speaker 2: received tips at the low to middle part of the
Speaker 2: income distribution tax relacis.
Speaker 7: We're center tips accurately if at all.
Speaker 9: Come on, Yeah, they're literally just dangling keys hoping we'll
Speaker 9: get distracted.
Speaker 2: Sure, truly truly, Like there's a lot of stuff that
Speaker 2: they want to be like, look, everything that's going to
Speaker 2: be great now, but only to throw money on. Like
Speaker 2: you know, this is different than twenty seventeen, when like
Speaker 2: interest rates weren't is high, like getting going even further
Speaker 2: into the muck with like this dumb like all this
Speaker 2: ridiculous spending is just going to keep us pretty entrenched
Speaker 2: in this situation. We're in if not worse, maybe who knows.
Speaker 2: But again, the thing that can potentially be on the
Speaker 2: side of maintaining the terrible status quo we have now
Speaker 2: is that just all the Republican infighting. But Trump is
Speaker 2: determined because again, none of his policies are popular enough
Speaker 2: to just take on a vote on its own. So
Speaker 2: it has, like to your point, Francesca, it has to
Speaker 2: happen through reconciliation. Because I've said, hey, I need a
Speaker 2: one trillion dollar let's terrorize the immigrants fund. They're gonna
Speaker 2: say get like, no, no one's gonna fucking vote.
Speaker 5: They're also gonna say, how you're gonna pay for it, right,
Speaker 5: and so that's why they have to do it by
Speaker 5: cutting Medicaid, which then yeah, but this has always been
Speaker 5: the Republican's problem when they're in the majority too, they're
Speaker 5: always infighting because you know, it's all between you know,
Speaker 5: the budget hawks and then just like the anti immigrant
Speaker 5: psychos who are like, hey, we didn't take down every
Speaker 5: single gay flag in this bill, didn't say to you know,
Speaker 5: burn them. So I'm not gonna vote for this, and
Speaker 5: everyone's got their little pet issue. But they again I
Speaker 5: can't believe again we're still like we've stopped talking about
Speaker 5: Elon a little bit, but.
Speaker 7: Like we should not. You know, I was the dozer is.
Speaker 5: Doing are still and the access to our information is
Speaker 5: still very alive.
Speaker 2: We talked about that on yesterday's episode about how like
Speaker 2: there's this article in Politico that's trying to act like
Speaker 2: Elon's gone away, and I'm like, you guys are fucking
Speaker 2: playing yourselves and their readers by being like, and he's gone.
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't even talk about him.
Speaker 2: It's like, there's again, Trump is not turning his back
Speaker 2: on the richest man in the world who got him
Speaker 2: into office and who knows what other fucking shit that
Speaker 2: he helped enable, like just with his money and influence,
Speaker 2: like to then be like and and now like none
Speaker 2: of the Republicans are talking about.
Speaker 1: It's like you're just gearing up for midterms.
Speaker 2: So people can't be like Elon Musk is doing all
Speaker 2: this stuff, but let's be real saying he's a stain
Speaker 2: on fucking everything.
Speaker 9: Yep, No, no, Elon's gone. We're fine on that. Biden
Speaker 9: was actually a good guy. And don't look at is
Speaker 9: reel it's not doing anything right now, don't wory about
Speaker 9: it don't even do anything.
Speaker 2: They're just you know, there's just a terrible sun spike
Speaker 2: in the humanitarian crisis there with the lack of any
Speaker 2: just like they're continuing to bomb hospitals.
Speaker 1: Nothing has changed.
Speaker 2: Nothing. So anyway, we'll see what happens with this endeavor
Speaker 2: that the Republicans are you know, getting ready to undertake
Speaker 2: this week. So hopefully, I don't know, hopefully fizzles out,
Speaker 2: but they're gonna they're definitely gonna do fucking everything they
Speaker 2: can to try and get as many Yes, well it's
Speaker 2: as possible.
Speaker 1: But the margins are thin, like.
Speaker 2: Walmart's profit margins, as they say, that's why they're worried
Speaker 2: about the tariffs next one. So I don't know if
Speaker 2: you saw the clip of like Bruce Springsteen just like
Speaker 2: just you know, doing like very boilerplate criticism of Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: He's like he's immoral, he's corrupt.
Speaker 4: DeNiro like de Niro's taking a stand against him. Just
Speaker 4: that guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean at least he said fuck that guy
Speaker 2: made Bruce was, hey, man, this guy's bad, and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's true. I think he was in the UK when
Speaker 2: he said that, So that was.
Speaker 7: There's some things happening, not good things in the world.
Speaker 2: Bruce, Yeah, some bad stuff, like what specifically. I'm a
Speaker 2: little too insulated to know specifically what things.
Speaker 1: But I hear it's bad and corrupt.
Speaker 9: Podcast partner Barack used to tell me some stuff.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Barry used to tell me some wild
Speaker 2: stuff man about the the way that we can use
Speaker 2: drones now to do shit. I had no idea, had
Speaker 2: no idea.
Speaker 4: What I'm talking about. I'm talking about some other stuff.
Speaker 2: Donald Dump, that's him. He's bad. So he said this.
Speaker 2: This set off a fucking truth social storm on Monday
Speaker 2: morning at one thirty four a m. This is what
Speaker 2: Trump just, for whatever reason, starts ship posting quote how
Speaker 2: much did Kamala Harris pay Bruce Springsteen for his poor
Speaker 2: performance during her campaign for president? Why did he accept
Speaker 2: that money? If he's such, if he is such a
Speaker 2: fan of hers, isn't that a major and illegal campaign contribution?
Speaker 2: What about Beyonce? He did put the accent mark on
Speaker 2: the e B he would have died that. He doesn't
Speaker 2: He doesn't want to smoke with Hinds. He doesn't want
Speaker 2: the Hive pair, I guess, or maybe Seattle correct? And
Speaker 2: how much went to Oprah and Bono. I'm going to
Speaker 2: call for a major investigation into this matter. Candidates aren't
Speaker 2: allowed to pay for endorsements, which is what Kamala did
Speaker 2: under the guise of paying for entertainment. In addition, this
Speaker 2: was a very expensive and desperate effort to artificially build
Speaker 2: up for whatever. Bh blah blah blah. It's fucking nonsense.
Speaker 5: How much has Vanilla I scotten for performing at mar
Speaker 5: a Lago? Like the money that they have to shell
Speaker 5: out to get anyone to show up right to their shit?
Speaker 5: I mean, Snoop Snoop was at their inauguration. Carrie Underwood
Speaker 5: was at the inauguration. But that being said, I also
Speaker 5: kind of wanted investigation on how much money was spent
Speaker 5: on celebrities. A billion dollars in what was it three
Speaker 5: months that the Harris campaign spent.
Speaker 7: But it is it's just so fragile.
Speaker 2: You won You want also, motherfucker, You're out here switching
Speaker 2: up fucking Pardons to get black people to wear MAGA
Speaker 2: hats like fucking low Wayne and Kodak Black, Like, what
Speaker 2: what are we talking about?
Speaker 1: You're the most transactional motherfucker.
Speaker 4: We've ever boss got mad at me.
Speaker 9: That just shows you I don't I don't want anybody
Speaker 9: from Jersey to do.
Speaker 2: We call him the boss anyway, imagine, well he may
Speaker 2: be the boss, but I'm the commander in chief. So
Speaker 2: so fuck out of here and everything he said because
Speaker 2: he's so he loves Bruce Springsteen music. You know that's true.
Speaker 2: Like he's played it. They've told him, bro, do not
Speaker 2: play this ship. He played it at a thing in
Speaker 2: New Jersey.
Speaker 4: I think it also feels like music of or.
Speaker 2: No he said something, or maybe he was talking shit
Speaker 2: about I know at one point he liked Bruce Springsteen,
Speaker 2: but then Bruce Springsteen's like, now, fuck out of here,
Speaker 2: and then he's like, what't fuck you then forever and
Speaker 2: it's been yeah, I never liked you anyway. Yo.
Speaker 5: I it's also just really terrifying because I just saw
Speaker 5: this an hour ago. I guess the president of CBS
Speaker 5: is resigning, saying the company and I don't agree on
Speaker 5: the path forward, likely in relationship to the Trump lawsuit,
Speaker 5: because Trump again is trying to sue CBS for editing
Speaker 5: an interview right with Kamala Harris to make her sound
Speaker 5: minimally more cogent. Because of course everyone should edit those
Speaker 5: fucking interviews. It was a funny, funnily enough, an interview
Speaker 5: question about Gaza.
Speaker 7: It was long winded.
Speaker 6: They edited it.
Speaker 5: They do this all the time. Fox News edited the
Speaker 5: shit out of their like one one with Donald Trump
Speaker 5: on the campaign trail, making him look far more you know,
Speaker 5: sane and just it's just scary, right because you're like
Speaker 5: this kind of retribution or whatever he's doing all these investigations,
Speaker 5: like I mean, look, anything to take the heat off,
Speaker 5: Like I don't know, a woman selling to Molly's on
Speaker 5: the street, Like that's good. Like, but I'm also like
Speaker 5: people are capitulating, you know, like what's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wait, so is did the CBS the head of
Speaker 2: CBS resign because they wanted to capitulate.
Speaker 7: That's unclear.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't know, but that's unclear.
Speaker 7: So it could be like she was like, no, I'm
Speaker 7: I think we should pay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's probably that makes more sense because then
Speaker 2: they would be like, well, I don't want smoke, I'm
Speaker 2: going to resign.
Speaker 1: And then they're be like, what do you think.
Speaker 5: I think she resigned because she doesn't want to pay.
Speaker 5: She probably wants to fight it.
Speaker 1: Oh, and then the pressure is to be like fuck it, right.
Speaker 9: Oh, we need that money to pay for more TV
Speaker 9: shows about Afghan warwitz or whatever. And they're pet Indians
Speaker 9: who are supposed to play afgamings.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like because there was like, uh, I mean
Speaker 2: the ship is still going back and forth within sixty
Speaker 2: minutes to be like, man, I fuck out of here, bro,
Speaker 2: You're not gonna tell us what to fucking do. And
Speaker 2: there's yeah there and yeah and there had Oh my god,
Speaker 2: to just go cry on your big pile of money.
Speaker 4: How much I would love to cry on a big
Speaker 4: pile of money.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: Do you think you'd be able to even cry? Like
Speaker 2: wait to hold the flight.
Speaker 1: I'm on a pile of money.
Speaker 5: Right, yeah, like really beautiful, decent proposal, you.
Speaker 4: Know, yeah, yeah, way through it.
Speaker 2: Gab in your eyes with your fucking one hundred dollars
Speaker 2: bills and they get a terrible eye infection because money
Speaker 2: is filthy.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick.
Speaker 4: Break by healthcare.
Speaker 1: Hey you can.
Speaker 2: We'll come back to talk about the American dream, but
Speaker 2: the one you win via reality.
Speaker 1: Show after this, and we're back. We're back. And did
Speaker 1: you guys see the new Jurassic World rebirth trailer no.
Speaker 2: I actually I saw that it came out like two
Speaker 2: days ago, and I stopped myself because I'm kind of excited.
Speaker 1: That I don't want to see too.
Speaker 3: I didn't watch the trailer yet.
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit excited about it too because the
Speaker 1: so the one thing that's giving me hope is that
Speaker 1: Gareth Edwards is directing it. He's a guy who made
Speaker 1: like Rogue one and the Creator and like started off
Speaker 1: with an indie movie that like was somehow like a
Speaker 1: low budget indie movie that also was about giant monsters.
Speaker 1: And he also made that Godzilla movie that was like
Speaker 1: kind of divisive but a massive hit. But like he's
Speaker 1: always with Puff.
Speaker 3: Daddy and Jimmy Page.
Speaker 2: That one not that one.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, that one's like a universal disaster.
Speaker 1: Everybody agreed that one sucks. Shit that I think that was.
Speaker 2: That was the Ken Wattenabe one right when he when
Speaker 2: he first joined That one that's from that.
Speaker 1: Was Rolling Emeric.
Speaker 3: I think, hey man, that soundtrack was hot. I'm just
Speaker 3: saying never I remember the best raid one of the
Speaker 3: best rage songs, No Shelter, Yeah, man, that was so
Speaker 3: much good stuff. I had that sound You remember why
Speaker 3: Deeper Underground. That was the first time I heard that song.
Speaker 2: I remember I buying that soundtrack and my dad was like,
Speaker 2: why are you listening, Nick? What is this remix of Kashmir?
Speaker 1: And I'm like what.
Speaker 2: I'm like, this has come with me Puff Daddy him.
Speaker 2: I'm like, no surprise, come with me and You're like,
Speaker 2: what the fuck? What is?
Speaker 3: And then the SNL performance were Jimmy Page and Puff
Speaker 3: Daddy shirt.
Speaker 2: And then I remember my dad was like, you'd really
Speaker 2: fuck with Led Zeppelin if you think this is good,
Speaker 2: and I'm like all right, and then that's when he
Speaker 2: I remember he talked to me about John Bonham for
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes and I I got so bored. I remember, like, dude,
Speaker 2: I got a fucking oh my god, Wow, I get it. Wow.
Speaker 2: He somehow plays just behind the beat for this interesting
Speaker 2: pocket feel.
Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck, right, but the only used
Speaker 1: one mic his son tried to do.
Speaker 2: He didn't quite have the same chops as Bonzo.
Speaker 12: I'm like, okay, fuck, dude, can we go to Taco
Speaker 12: Bell to get this Gordiina. I'm trying to get the
Speaker 12: Z piece to spell out Godzilla to win this family
Speaker 12: a fucking billion dollars.
Speaker 1: I feel like that was the least that Diddy like
Speaker 1: did not add a lot to that song. I'm going
Speaker 1: to say, And I know it's controversial to speak ill
Speaker 1: of Ditty right now.
Speaker 3: No, literally, like metrically speaking, I don't think he added much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, he would just like kind of shouted over it.
Speaker 2: He's like, what if Kashmir was this other song I
Speaker 2: yelled on top of it?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What if I yelled on top of cash? Would that
Speaker 1: be cool? But anyways, this director has always seemed faded
Speaker 1: to make a Jurassic Park movie. They are dropping these
Speaker 1: things fast and furious. They're just you know, they they
Speaker 1: ended the last trilogy and this must have already been
Speaker 1: in production. They were like the final Jurassic One movie.
Speaker 1: I just saw the original. I have never seen it
Speaker 1: after that. The original Jurassic Park is a perfect film.
Speaker 1: It's very good, still holds up.
Speaker 2: I love it. Every time they re release it, I
Speaker 2: go see it because I'm permanently stuck at like nine
Speaker 2: years old when from me when it came out, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, totally. That's also why, for whatever reason,
Speaker 2: I think, you know, I've had a tough hear I
Speaker 2: think I need this to be my regression, to regress
Speaker 2: in the purest fucking way.
Speaker 1: Don't fuck this up for me, Gareth. They haven't. So
Speaker 1: here's the thing that they haven't tried doing since the
Speaker 1: first Jurassic Park is they haven't tried making.
Speaker 2: A good one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I guess they try. Maybe I could
Speaker 1: help them with that. Thank you. This is you're a
Speaker 1: couple of steps ahead of me, but you caught that lot,
Speaker 1: you know. Steven Spielberg made the second one and it
Speaker 1: was like it had some amazing sequences, but overall it
Speaker 1: was pretty bad. Not one of Steven Spielberg's best movies.
Speaker 1: And they I feel like Jurassic World the reboot, like
Speaker 1: after the first three that were like based around the
Speaker 1: original movie, the reboot Jurassic World, like I kind of
Speaker 1: think of that as the point at which we were
Speaker 1: fucked as like film goers, because it is it's the
Speaker 1: perfect encapsulation of this new model where instead of like
Speaker 1: people who love movies being the head of like development
Speaker 1: in studios, they had marketing teams as the head of studios,
Speaker 1: and like they were just like, well, we got to
Speaker 1: like make a Jurassic Park movie where like the park's
Speaker 1: actually open right, and it's like, yeah, that's a that
Speaker 1: is an easy movie to make, like great trailers for
Speaker 1: and like ads around and like the premise is just
Speaker 1: like fucking surefire. And then you know the notes like
Speaker 1: apparently it was just an impossible movie to make and
Speaker 1: it was kind of a mess. It was very like me.
Speaker 1: So there there is a Durrassic Park ride that is
Speaker 1: based around rafts that is like kind of the main
Speaker 1: one I think at Universal and that one is it
Speaker 1: Like people were always like it's kind of weird because
Speaker 1: the book that the original movie is based on like
Speaker 1: the centerpiece, like the most exciting sequence and kind of
Speaker 1: the most like cinematic the first one. Like after reading
Speaker 1: the book that as a like twelve year old, I
Speaker 1: was like, well, that's gonna be an awesome movie. Scene
Speaker 1: is a raft chase, and Spielberg just didn't end up
Speaker 1: putting it in because they had plenty without it. I
Speaker 1: guess that they have put in this movie. This movie
Speaker 1: is written by the writer of the original Drastic Park screenplay,
Speaker 1: and it like the trailer is like heavily featuring this
Speaker 1: raft chase where like a t Rex is like chasing
Speaker 1: them down a river.
Speaker 2: I remember they which showed a section of it in
Speaker 2: the first one.
Speaker 1: I was like, whoa, Yeah, they really kind of let
Speaker 1: you know that this is gonna They really let it
Speaker 1: breathe in this one.
Speaker 2: There's something terrifying though about like a t Rex being
Speaker 2: slowed by water and you're in a boat. Like that's
Speaker 2: even more psychologically fucked up. We're like, yeah, fuck, I'm
Speaker 2: look the slow Yeah, because at least they.
Speaker 1: Were in the jeep when they were running from the
Speaker 1: t Rex in the first one. Yeah, have you ever
Speaker 1: been like trying to run in water as fast for
Speaker 1: a mater Rex?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Rex?
Speaker 2: Yeah in there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Spielberg apparently storyboarded the sequence for the original movie.
Speaker 1: They just never shot it. I think it was also
Speaker 1: like crazy expensive when you look at.
Speaker 3: Between it was probably between that and the part where
Speaker 3: the dinosaurs eat the dude in the in the bathroom stall.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the lawyer. They chose wisely get the loos. Yeah.
Speaker 1: When you look at the making of that original movie,
Speaker 1: it's like there's a lot of it's kind of a
Speaker 1: miracle because like so little of it is actually cgi,
Speaker 1: Like most of it's just puppets and shit like that,
Speaker 1: and then they just like mixed in moments of CGI,
Speaker 1: which is why so much CGI since then has been
Speaker 1: so fucked because everyone was like, well they did Jurassic
Speaker 1: Park with CGI.
Speaker 2: Some some some.
Speaker 1: Yeah they did some. CGI was like seventy percent amazing,
Speaker 1: like the best in class practical effects we'd seen on
Speaker 1: film up to that point, plus like some shading from
Speaker 1: the CGI. Yeah, It's like it's still fucking stan Winston's
Speaker 1: genius that made that film possible. It's like his creatures,
Speaker 1: the Stan Winston creatures are like the fucking real engine
Speaker 1: of that movie visually.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But our writer J M McNab was, he's he's been
Speaker 1: on this for a while like that first his theory
Speaker 1: is that Steven Spielberg even like made Jurassic Park in
Speaker 1: the first place because he gets a cut of Universal
Speaker 1: Studios money, and he was like, this is gonna be
Speaker 1: a sick ride. People are gonna go to this. This
Speaker 1: is gonna be like the best ride that I've ever made.
Speaker 1: And he also points out like the ride is based
Speaker 1: on that scene in the movie, So there there's always
Speaker 1: a chance that Spielberg is like kind of pulling the
Speaker 1: strings here to be like what if we did we
Speaker 1: finally made the River raft Ride.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, because then I guess his first bite of
Speaker 2: the apple would have been the ET Adventure as a
Speaker 2: universal ride. That's probably the thing that got him the
Speaker 2: deal where they're like, hey, man, if you want to
Speaker 2: like make some rides based on your movies, like we'll
Speaker 2: give you a cut of the gate at the parks.
Speaker 2: And the ET Ride was fine. I mean, the ET
Speaker 2: did say your name at the end. If it was
Speaker 2: in a name of a database of traditional names, a
Speaker 2: computer could say some traditional yeah, because I remember I
Speaker 2: remember going with my Japanese cousin. Her name's Mesucle and
Speaker 2: I'm Miles. In the beginning, they're like say your name
Speaker 2: or you type it in, and it was like goodbye, Miles.
Speaker 1: And then my cousin.
Speaker 2: They're like, it's gonna say your name, Mescle, and it's
Speaker 2: like just it was just like they're like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: but her Martha or something.
Speaker 1: Goodbye honey, good bye sweetheart, goodbye.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But anyways that I don't know. The rebirth subtitle is
Speaker 1: actually Giving Friday the thirteenth sequel where they made a
Speaker 1: Jason Dies movie and then we're already in production on
Speaker 1: the like Jason Lives one like that they're just like
Speaker 1: cranked out. But a lot of the big action moments
Speaker 1: actually are like have dinosaurs coming out of the water,
Speaker 1: which kind of reminds me of Jaws. I feel like
Speaker 1: it's it's giving Jaws. Johansson is like shooting one of
Speaker 1: the dinosaurs with like a spear gun, just like in Jaws.
Speaker 2: So I saw that the trailer there was like that
Speaker 2: mega dinosaur that like flops out of the water next
Speaker 2: to that boat, and I was like, yeah, wow, oh wow,
Speaker 2: you said the dinosaur's name, like you're hanging out with
Speaker 2: your kids a bunch who probably you're.
Speaker 3: Clearly book for this.
Speaker 1: There's a there's a cute children's book called Papasaurus and
Speaker 1: one one of the dinosaur friends that this this kid
Speaker 1: is playing. This dinosaur kid is playing hide and seek
Speaker 1: with his dad and one of the dinosaurs he visits
Speaker 1: task if they've seen his dad is the most of saurus,
Speaker 1: and that most of the saurus is a little nicer
Speaker 1: than the one in this trailer. Oh wow, thank you.
Speaker 10: That.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's not scary, it's not scary, watch it.
Speaker 1: I'll watch it. But yeah, and sorry, did you say
Speaker 1: muscle saurus mosa mosa Okay, I'm thinking like proteinosaurus or something. No, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: ripped the cred creodactyl. I think there's some dactyls in
Speaker 1: this one. That is my favorite thing about this. The
Speaker 1: later movies, I guess they didn't really have the ability
Speaker 1: to some dactyls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, to get technically, dinosaurs get sucked up in the
Speaker 2: sky by a fucking pterodactyl.
Speaker 1: That's that's that's big money bro sucked off into that.
Speaker 3: That's a fatality right there, exactly fatality.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: So we do want to end on some good news,
Speaker 1: and that is that, according to a new study, the
Speaker 1: universe and everything in it will decay into nothingness way
Speaker 1: sooner than anyone expected. Oh thank god.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's that's the ideal thing. We all go
Speaker 2: together and we don't have to feel bad, you know.
Speaker 2: So what is it like in like three weeks or
Speaker 2: what are you hey?
Speaker 8: I you know?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, let it dude, let's GHIBBLI meme it up.
Speaker 2: I'm a job yeah, before.
Speaker 3: Bearing on my love.
Speaker 1: It's all good.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So they used to think it was going to be
Speaker 1: ten to the power of one that eleven hundred years.
Speaker 1: They used to think it was going to be ten
Speaker 1: to the power of eleven hundred years, but now it's
Speaker 1: apparently going to be ten to the power of seventy
Speaker 1: eight years. So one followed by seventy eight.
Speaker 2: Zeros and that's soon.
Speaker 1: Sooner. So this is the true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, by orders of magnitude, I guess seventy eight and
Speaker 2: eleven hundred.
Speaker 1: Ah well, all right, fine, Well up a little earlier
Speaker 1: this morning. Once I read this news, I was like,
Speaker 1: I got some shit to do, man.
Speaker 2: I got to grind it out, dude, add those add
Speaker 2: that one extra.
Speaker 1: Yeah, get my affairs in order.
Speaker 2: You start talking like a grindset dude, You're like, nah, dude,
Speaker 2: I saw that headline about the universe.
Speaker 1: Any I woke up an hour earlier.
Speaker 2: Okay, add that up over a week, I've got a
Speaker 2: slight advantage over you. Add that up over a half
Speaker 2: a year. I definitely have. I've been doing about a
Speaker 2: three weeks more worth of work than you have. Add
Speaker 2: that over ten years. Man, I'm gone.
Speaker 1: You gone. In the morning, I'm standing over you, shredded, shirtless.
Speaker 2: And guess what, and I'm the doctor I just delivered
Speaker 2: you for birth. We started to clock over. That's how
Speaker 2: ahead of my time. I am okay counting my money,
Speaker 2: counting my big coin. That's an actual thing I saw
Speaker 2: on a YouTube short where guy's like, you got to
Speaker 2: think of this way, man, I'm waking up with those
Speaker 2: two extra hours. I don't sleep. You had that up
Speaker 2: over He like extrapolates that. He's like, within three years,
Speaker 2: I've actually done seven lifetimes worth the work that you haven't.
Speaker 1: And you're like, no, you just sound sleep like.
Speaker 2: Thirty five companies. Yeah, no, precisely. It's that kind of
Speaker 2: like just very loose logic.
Speaker 1: We're like, yeah, companies, I've I've bought way more crypto.
Speaker 2: I've lost like three teeth because I started doing ice baths.
Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, exactly right. But yeah, so this is because
Speaker 1: the universe will gradually decay due to Hawking radiation, first
Speaker 1: proposed by Stephen Hawking, which involves particles and quantum fluctuations
Speaker 1: and a bunch of stuff. I totally understand about black
Speaker 1: holes that I'm not going to bore you guys with
Speaker 1: right now, even though, like I said, I understand it
Speaker 1: it's boring to you. Tootuine like you, I can see
Speaker 1: how it would be boring.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty interested. So, like, what can you kind of
Speaker 2: explain that?
Speaker 1: So that's all the time we have for today, it's.
Speaker 2: Kind of a shorter episode. No you sure, or like,
Speaker 2: what do you?
Speaker 1: It all comes back to a black hole.
Speaker 2: This is how you got to understand and.
Speaker 1: Some where black hole's event horizon, the intense labitational field
Speaker 1: prevents annihilation. Obviously we all know that, right. Sure do
Speaker 1: you ever be like a physicist or a scientist to
Speaker 1: have like something named after you? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I mean, unless you want to be How do I
Speaker 1: get into that? Like, unless somebody like wants to name
Speaker 1: it after me? Well, you know when they're which I
Speaker 1: would recommend the O'Brien bullshit scale, the bullshometer, dude, he's
Speaker 1: the charge O'Brien scalometer.
Speaker 2: It's a three point six on the open.
Speaker 1: Basically, So the event horizon, uh process that I was
Speaker 1: just describing that we all understand over long time scales,
Speaker 1: Hoggings theory suggests, and this is just how I talk,
Speaker 1: I'm not quoting space dot com here, over long time scales,
Speaker 1: Howkings theory suggests. This process causes the black hole to
Speaker 1: slowly evaporate, eventually vanishing, and once that happens, all bets.
Speaker 2: Are off, you know, way to get I'm just like,
Speaker 2: I'm like, how, but what would the experience like? Do
Speaker 2: we all just like like go to turn to dust
Speaker 2: like some Fano slap snap. But then I'm reading about
Speaker 2: how the end of the universe would cause a big
Speaker 2: crunch where everything goes and then that would set off
Speaker 2: another big bang and we start the universe all over again.
Speaker 2: Kind of beautiful, kind of.
Speaker 1: It'll like be a big crunch and then we'll realize
Speaker 1: we were just like some particle in some other like
Speaker 1: vast thing. We're just like minuscule dust on the ass
Speaker 1: of some other thing.
Speaker 2: Fade to black, and then Bob Dylan song comes up slowly.
Speaker 1: And you said that you and your wife sing other
Speaker 1: music in Bob Dylan's voice. What's the what's the best
Speaker 1: match you found there?
Speaker 3: Oh man, oh god? Can I think of something else
Speaker 3: day to I don't know, maybe like something like Green Day,
Speaker 3: I said.
Speaker 13: Him going down Rodale with my shotgun, with my shotgun,
Speaker 13: like the tea wagon. I want the machines that are
Speaker 13: making them all right.
Speaker 1: That's gonna do it. For this week's Weekly Zeitgeist. Please
Speaker 1: like and review the show If you like the show
Speaker 1: U means the world the miles he he needs your validation, folks.
