Speaker 1: two music video.
Speaker 2: Yeah you remember that video though.
Speaker 1: That shit is like burned in my heart because it's
Speaker 1: so dark. It'd be like an old guy who like
Speaker 1: lives in a sewer.
Speaker 2: Yeah he's light. Yeah, I mean not quite there. But yeah,
Speaker 2: so I went and I went and saw Spider Man
Speaker 2: opening weekend. First time I've done an opening like Marvel
Speaker 2: weekend viewing. So we'll talk about that later.
Speaker 1: On, Yeah, we will. It did incredibly well, thanks to
Speaker 1: you than to me. But yeah, it's it's supposed to
Speaker 1: be really good. Yeah, be a banger.
Speaker 2: But first, of course, we have to open up with
Speaker 2: the story on.
Speaker 1: Everyone's mind, and that is our Lord Mark Zuckerberg's new persona.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's a bad man. He's a bads.
Speaker 3: He's a bad man, as they say, a role. He's
Speaker 3: about him a bad man. There's this report in the
Speaker 3: New York Times over the weekend that was just talking
Speaker 3: about his whole like bacho man aesthetic and like how
Speaker 3: he was posting a selfie with a flak jacket. He's
Speaker 3: like I did the Murf Navy Seal challenge, like one
Speaker 3: hundred pull ups, run a mile, two hundred sit ups,
Speaker 3: three hundred squats run a mile, all while wearing a
Speaker 3: twenty pound flack jacket to like honor the like fallen
Speaker 3: Navy seal from two thousand and five, and people were like, oh, okay.
Speaker 3: Then he also participated in his first Brazilian jiu jitsu
Speaker 3: tournament recently, and this is why we're talking about that,
Speaker 3: just because I'm just gonna read this one part. This
Speaker 3: is so, this is what the New York Times had
Speaker 3: to say, and then it caused a shit storm in.
Speaker 2: The Zuckerberg World appairs.
Speaker 3: So he did his first BJJ turney, and one of
Speaker 3: his opponents must have overheard Mark Zuckerberg saying that he
Speaker 3: walked out of Anger Management early because oh my god,
Speaker 3: that mister Mark got tough guide, Okay, he said. On
Speaker 3: May six, mister Zuckerberg in his first Brazilian jiu jitsu
Speaker 3: event in Woodside, California, where he defeated an Uber engineer
Speaker 3: and won two medals and lost consciousness.
Speaker 1: That's what an.
Speaker 2: Adventure they go on. Jose Lucas Costa de Silva, a
Speaker 2: veteran Brazilian jiu jitsu fighter who refereed one of Zuckerberg's matches,
Speaker 2: said that he halted the bout after he heard mister
Speaker 2: Zuckerberg start to snore, a sign of someone who has
Speaker 2: passed out in a chokehold. Quote.
Speaker 3: This is something we are trained to know, said mister
Speaker 3: Costa di Silva, who added that mister Zuckerberg was a
Speaker 3: good sport who is quote enjoying the moment.
Speaker 2: So he said, yeah, man, yeah, he got it. Happens.
Speaker 2: It happens. Sometimes you don't tap and then you can
Speaker 2: put to sleep.
Speaker 1: Well guess what he like did that and then took
Speaker 1: it in stride and was just like, yeah, I to
Speaker 1: him human. I'm not doing this to make it seem
Speaker 1: like I'm not human or like better than anyone.
Speaker 2: Right. Uh yeah, I got choked out like anybody else would.
Speaker 3: I'm not Liodo Macheetah. I'm not hoist Gracie, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like, what do you want me to do?
Speaker 3: I'm Mark's Oh wait no, this is just the following paragraph.
Speaker 3: I think there was edited in this New York Times,
Speaker 3: he said.
Speaker 2: Quote.
Speaker 3: After this article was published Friday afternoon, both mister Zuckerberg
Speaker 3: and his coach, mister Cammio reached out and said that
Speaker 3: the Meta boss had not lost consciousness. Quote that never happened,
Speaker 3: mister Zuckerberg wrote in an email. According to mister Camill,
Speaker 3: mister Costa da Silva, who was the ref quote, mistook
Speaker 3: his student's effort for grunting for snores.
Speaker 1: Uh huh sure, Jan, Yeah, I was just taking a
Speaker 1: little that on purpose to get my power ready to
Speaker 1: flip on this dude. And they just didn't didn't know
Speaker 1: my strategy, and that's my fault. I should have more
Speaker 1: clearly communicated my strategy.
Speaker 3: Your shit's all chucked, like yeah, like some breaths might
Speaker 3: sound gurgly snoring, But I bet if you go a
Speaker 3: limp and you're snoring. I have a feeling that the
Speaker 3: ref who has been doing jiu jitsu for more than
Speaker 3: you probably knew.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, he's out, he tapped out.
Speaker 3: The thing is it goes on because other like Meta
Speaker 3: people went out to other news outlets like The Daily
Speaker 3: Beast and also said quote, at no point during the
Speaker 3: competition was Mark knocked unconscious. That never happened. Elena Widman,
Speaker 3: a spokesperson for Meta, told The Daily Beast, you you
Speaker 3: got the the company's spokespeople.
Speaker 2: Involved like that. You know what's even better? Then they
Speaker 2: go like this is what was doing over the weekend.
Speaker 3: Oh, then they go full like Stalin pollt Bureau kind
Speaker 3: of shit, where they said Widman, who's the spokesperson, said quote.
Speaker 2: A fellow Meta employee.
Speaker 3: Okay, uh, witness the match firsthand, and that the referee
Speaker 3: in question quote apologized to Mark and his coach after
Speaker 3: the match for prematurely calling the match. Wow, okay, you
Speaker 3: think you would have heard something like that. But I
Speaker 3: like how they go. According to one of the people
Speaker 3: who depends on mister Zuckerberg for their financial survivability, yeah,
Speaker 3: they said they saw the refs say that was on me.
Speaker 2: I'm bad. I'm on DRU and I don't know what
Speaker 2: I'm doing.
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a press conference where he's like, I
Speaker 1: apologize to my family. I need to go into rehab
Speaker 1: now because I've made some big mistakes in my life.
Speaker 1: There's something about narcissism that doesn't allow you to acknowledge.
Speaker 2: That you've been choked out. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: There's also the famous Steven Sagal choke out that he
Speaker 1: claims never happened, but legendarily he was choked out by
Speaker 1: somebody who was, you know, good at martial arts and
Speaker 1: he shit himself and he claims that didn't happen, which
Speaker 1: I understand that getting choked out and shitting yourself is
Speaker 1: It's a tough one.
Speaker 2: It's a tough one. I can see, Yeah, that jiu
Speaker 2: jitsu referee.
Speaker 3: He remember when that Yankees coach Don Zimmer attacked Pedro
Speaker 3: Martinez in that bench clearing brawl and like and then
Speaker 3: Pedro like just lightly guided him to the ground and
Speaker 3: he's like, you're so like, don't fucking come at me, Bro,
Speaker 3: I'm a picture and you're an old man. And then
Speaker 3: remember his apology press conference that was like I'm sorry openly.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like maybe that's where we're going to
Speaker 3: see the jiu jitsu referee happening.
Speaker 2: But don't worry, Mark, I get it. You never tapped.
Speaker 2: It's all good.
Speaker 1: There's also something about uh, like I always noticed this
Speaker 1: and in boxing when somebody's like out on their feet,
Speaker 1: completely knocked out, like everybody's like, oh my god, please
Speaker 1: save this person's legs. Yeah, the referee intervenes and the
Speaker 1: person's immediately like what are you doing?
Speaker 2: I was fine?
Speaker 3: No, bro, you only you only had that because the
Speaker 3: bell went and you realize you're safe now.
Speaker 1: There's also like I wasn't asleep, which happens to me
Speaker 1: sometimes or my wife's like are you are you a sleep?
Speaker 2: No? I wasn't asleep. Where you don't think you were asleep,
Speaker 2: but you actually were asleep. Oh fully. Yeah. I was
Speaker 2: caught doing that the other day watching TV and.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's what I do, the aura ring, and like
Speaker 1: to track my sleep. And that is one thing that
Speaker 1: I learned is like I'm like, oh man, I was
Speaker 1: up all night. I got like two hours of sleep,
Speaker 1: and then I like look at the sleep record and
Speaker 1: it's like he slept for seven hours last night.
Speaker 2: Well what are you talking about? Wait, so it just
Speaker 2: doesn't feel RESTful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just doesn't feel RESTful. Wow, you think you're
Speaker 1: getting less sleep than you actually are. Yeah, it sounds
Speaker 1: like Mark Zuckerberg thought he got less sleep than he
Speaker 1: actually did.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's got tournament, there's.
Speaker 3: Gotta be someone with video, right, Like if I'm at
Speaker 3: a Brazilian jiu jitsu tournament and he's like he the
Speaker 3: gym that fucking Zuckerberg like fights out, it's called a
Speaker 3: Gorilla jiu jitsu team, Like yeah, yeah, but like g
Speaker 3: u e uh And I'm like this is all bad.
Speaker 3: But I feel like you would just take video because
Speaker 3: you're like, if this guy gets tapped, this is like
Speaker 3: this is money right here, this is TMZ right here.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you don't think they like meta confiscated all
Speaker 1: phones the second anybody, Yeah, and.
Speaker 3: Try like when Nike got rid of all those pictures
Speaker 3: of like A Rod's sort of like uh, the steroid
Speaker 3: chest when he was getting like flabby pack muscles, and
Speaker 3: then like like all of those pictures were just scrubbed
Speaker 3: clean from the internet because of Nike.
Speaker 2: A Rod is the most powerful person in media.
Speaker 1: Because there was also a picture of him going to
Speaker 1: the bathroom that somebody took through a widow that immediately
Speaker 1: got scrubbed. He's yeah, so you disappear you.
Speaker 3: Where is this a bruder film of you? Catchen Zase, sir,
Speaker 3: I want to see it all right.
Speaker 1: There's a cool story in the New York Times about Brownsville.
Speaker 1: So this is a trend that we were kind of
Speaker 1: asking for during you know, the George Floyd protests, you know,
Speaker 1: looking at communities that had put together programs where nine
Speaker 1: to one one calls would be routed to non police services,
Speaker 1: and you know, Denver was trying it out, and the
Speaker 1: New York Times did a pretty cool profile of like
Speaker 1: a program in Brownsville that was you know, it's basically
Speaker 1: like a community, a group of civilians with no arrest power,
Speaker 1: but just who are regular people who other people in
Speaker 1: the community know and respect, just step in five days
Speaker 1: every couple months. They basically take over for the police,
Speaker 1: and the police channel all nine to one one calls
Speaker 1: from that area two civilians and unless there's a major incident,
Speaker 1: you know, they just step in. And they've had incredible success.
Speaker 1: The first half of twenty twenty three, homicides fell fifty percent,
Speaker 1: shooting s felled twenty five percent. Wround larcenies of automobiles
Speaker 1: also fell, even as it rose in other neighborhoods. And
Speaker 1: it's you know, the police are cooperating, like coordinating with them.
Speaker 3: They're but it sounds like so they shadow them in
Speaker 3: case like things arrived to a level that bactual like.
Speaker 2: Armed law enforcement would need to be there.
Speaker 3: So they're but the first line of defense is that
Speaker 3: members of the community are like intervening.
Speaker 2: First of this, like talk people, to talk to people, yeah.
Speaker 1: Exactly, to talk to people or like I remember that,
Speaker 1: like there was a story that we talked about in Eugene, Oregon.
Speaker 1: Actually like had this for a long time, like starting
Speaker 1: in the early eighties, like a program of civilians and
Speaker 1: like it was just you know, somebody who was drunk
Speaker 1: and needed to like get out of their house because
Speaker 1: they were in a fight with their significant other, like
Speaker 1: they couldn't drive anywhere, and so these people were just like, oh,
Speaker 1: you need a ride and just gave them a ride,
Speaker 1: and it like completely like you know, helped solve the
Speaker 1: situation in a way that like if police show up
Speaker 1: with guns drawn, would have like done the opposite. And
Speaker 1: there was another story here where like somebody dropped off
Speaker 1: somebody with paranoid schizophrenia and who was like really drunk,
Speaker 1: and they just like kind of sat with them for
Speaker 1: a couple hours and like got them into a shelter.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's just like it's worth reading.
Speaker 1: We'll link off to it in the footnotes because yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like all these kind of common sense things
Speaker 1: that would be calls to the police in other situations,
Speaker 1: like fights outside of a bodegg or something that like
Speaker 1: you know, instead some people just come through and are
Speaker 1: like acting like an idiot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they figure it out. I mean it's like
Speaker 2: they tell.
Speaker 3: Your mom kept a man from robbing a bodega people
Speaker 3: were turning into illegal guns. They stopped a pregnant woman
Speaker 3: from hitting a boyfriend who had not bought a car
Speaker 3: seat and a stroller as he had promised. That is
Speaker 3: so specific, I know, but I'm like kind of like, damn, bro,
Speaker 3: you gotta listen, man, when don't don't say you're gonna
Speaker 3: get that ship and not get that ship. The stakes
Speaker 3: are high. You need the car seat.
Speaker 2: Fam Yeah, the New York Times articles like, I mean,
Speaker 2: he kind of deserved it, but.
Speaker 3: We're gonna like, yikes, I mean, what how can he
Speaker 3: possibly defend himself to that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, as he had promised.
Speaker 3: That sounds like it feels like the next one would
Speaker 3: be like and another couple who was beginning to have
Speaker 3: a violent argument after one partner was leaving dishes in
Speaker 3: the sink to soak overnight.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3: Again, these are the kinds of things were intervening.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: They also offer services like free childcare, addiction recovery like that.
Speaker 1: So it's like there's a first line of people who
Speaker 1: are like there to kind of, you know, help with
Speaker 1: conflict resolution, and then there's a second line of people
Speaker 1: who have experience helping people with all sorts of problems
Speaker 1: that typically arise right in the lives of people. So
Speaker 1: usually just get funneled to the police.
Speaker 3: Right, and it's so it's it's it's just wild to think, right,
Speaker 3: like in any neighborhood, like any person could imagine, like
Speaker 3: in my community, we have people with all of these skills,
Speaker 3: you know, like exactly that you if it is just
Speaker 3: about investing your attention to your community, like I've played
Speaker 3: peacemaker plenty of times, Like I I feel like I
Speaker 3: have a I have a knack for talking to the youth. Uh,
Speaker 3: and it's like getting on their level, turn my hat hat,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean exactly and be like, hey, fella,
Speaker 3: let's talk for a second.
Speaker 2: But I mean, like you see, how like again, rather.
Speaker 3: Than just transferring all of these calls to people who
Speaker 3: don't have any patience or any skills and just have weapons,
Speaker 3: that yeah, it makes perfect sense that you would see
Speaker 3: all of these sort of rates of these incidents start
Speaker 3: to fall so quickly, and it just makes me feel
Speaker 3: like damn man, like we really just only gives more
Speaker 3: credence to the fact that, like your own community is
Speaker 3: the best way to take care of your own community.
Speaker 1: Yeather, than they're fun, it's not like all volunteer, they're
Speaker 1: they're funding it, right A little like a little bit,
Speaker 1: you know, not not the way that it should be.
Speaker 3: But yeah, not in the billions of dollars.
Speaker 1: Right, but like I think they give it two point
Speaker 1: three million dollars over a couple of years to like
Speaker 1: bring all these different organizations together and coordinate it with
Speaker 1: police response. But yeah, I mean it's like it builds community,
Speaker 1: It creates jobs that actually make people's lives better, which
Speaker 1: is like so rare.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: It just feels like such a such a no brainer
Speaker 1: that politicians would run on if if they were smart.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's also that wild thing where like you know,
Speaker 3: like a city loves to save money, right, and you'd imagine,
Speaker 3: like this is probably so much cheaper than like just
Speaker 3: a fully blown out militarized police force. But then you're
Speaker 3: like caught in this rock and a hard place of
Speaker 3: like but I like spending less money because capitalism, but
Speaker 3: also the military industrial complex that is now the police.
Speaker 2: Do I turn that? Sing it off? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Well I have a feeling that I don't know, I
Speaker 3: hope that more programs like this take hold one, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Put money back in into the community instead of into
Speaker 1: like defense contractors.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is so wild when like you're talking like
Speaker 3: the how are they like solving crime tore like, I
Speaker 3: don't know, offering people fucking childcare?
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about that?
Speaker 3: That actually helps a lot addiction recovery, you know, like essentially, like, yeah,
Speaker 3: we have a table with social safety's and that's how
Speaker 3: we keep everyone safe. Okay, let's extrapolate that to the
Speaker 3: bigger picture. Please, all right, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back with some more top stories of
Speaker 3: the weekend.
Speaker 4: Oh and we're back.
Speaker 1: And uh we mentioned this a couple of weeks back
Speaker 1: that Apple was rumored to be preparing to drop a
Speaker 1: new reality on all of our asses. They've been working
Speaker 1: on a headset, a VR headset for seven years. It
Speaker 1: looks like ski goggles that are like opaque basically.
Speaker 2: You know what it looks like.
Speaker 3: It looks like from Fifth Element, the makeup visor that
Speaker 3: Leelu puts on her face to put like all her
Speaker 3: makeup on.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember it.
Speaker 3: There was just like this don't advisor like because it's
Speaker 3: all futuristic, and just like put it to her face
Speaker 3: and then like removed.
Speaker 2: It had a full face and makeup, full face of makeup.
Speaker 2: But it looks very similar to that. I know that's
Speaker 2: probably too.
Speaker 3: Specific of a reference. Plus, fuck Luke Bassan, go on it.
Speaker 2: It wouldn't be if I had seen that movie, or
Speaker 2: I think I saw it and didn't remember.
Speaker 3: I was just thinking about it a lot because recently
Speaker 3: but the can Film Festival people talking about like Johnny
Speaker 3: Depp's new movie and like how he was like it's
Speaker 3: like made by this woman like Merwin, who was Luke
Speaker 3: Passan's like child Bride was also the blue singer in Fifilm. Anyway,
Speaker 3: That's why I had that all in my mind right now.
Speaker 1: She was in the Professional which was about like you know,
Speaker 1: it was like very serious pedophile overtones and yeah, like
Speaker 1: specifics uh and then he like had a child bride
Speaker 1: actress from that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then he left her for Mi La Joviovic.
Speaker 2: Cool. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Anyway, all that to say is this heads but is
Speaker 3: it actually coming out today? Because I read that something
Speaker 3: like it's possible that the drops today, but it's also
Speaker 3: possible to get their shook and they're like they might
Speaker 3: wait later. But it seems like it seems like all
Speaker 3: the momentum sounds like today.
Speaker 1: Is the day we should acknowledge that everything we've set
Speaker 1: up to this point is Paige Content from Apple was like,
Speaker 1: all right, could you bring up this uh you know
Speaker 1: headset and also connect.
Speaker 2: It somehow to Luke Bassana is they did ask for
Speaker 2: that sort history.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, I mean the headset is expected to
Speaker 1: cost three thousand dollars, which like the other most expensive
Speaker 1: one on the market is one thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: From who from who from a quest pro Yeah, from
Speaker 2: but the unchoke outable Mark Zuckerberg's met right, just want
Speaker 2: to just want to reiterate that he cannot be choked up.
Speaker 1: I actually like my yeah, we're we're looking at the
Speaker 1: same article, and my brain just like doesn't like it
Speaker 1: just goes past meta as a word with like again
Speaker 1: yeah right, go into my brain. It's turned off off
Speaker 1: that word because I find it so boring. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that one's for meta. It seems people are very
Speaker 1: hopeful that this will like spur developers to create like
Speaker 1: some killer apps that will make this make sense. But
Speaker 1: as of right now, like it feels like most people
Speaker 1: are out on the metaverse right, like the VYR stuff
Speaker 1: has just been for gaming.
Speaker 3: I mean I think that they say that there could
Speaker 3: be cool augmented reality gaming stuff. It seems like it's
Speaker 3: a lot of augmented reality. Again, I'm like, this is
Speaker 3: from what I've been reading. I agree with every take
Speaker 3: I've seen from like tech journalists who are like, this
Speaker 3: is like, this is so not like an Apple thing.
Speaker 3: You know, there's nothing about it that's revolutionary. It's it's
Speaker 3: not like creating. It's not addressing like this massive need
Speaker 3: that we didn't realize it was going to fill, especially
Speaker 3: with like a three thousand dollars price.
Speaker 2: I mean, I get that.
Speaker 3: I don't doubt that it's gonna be fucking cool, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Sure it would be fun or whatever, like,
Speaker 3: but like to the point where I'm like, yeah, I
Speaker 3: need to spend three thousand dollars to have that. I mean,
Speaker 3: unless you have that kind of disposable income. Like I'm
Speaker 3: pretty sure most people are gonna fucking pass on it.
Speaker 2: So okay, Like hey, one of the I think when
Speaker 2: we first talked about it, we were looking.
Speaker 1: At like this heads up display, this hypothetical heads up
Speaker 1: display that was like basically Google Maps but in your vision,
Speaker 1: which seems like it assumes the future where people are
Speaker 1: walking around with these opaque visors on like down the street.
Speaker 1: It replaces that, so it's not it has like some
Speaker 1: of the stuff of like Google Glass, but instead of
Speaker 1: being see through, it like replaces that with cameras. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe like eyes like that could be cool. You could
Speaker 1: like zoom on, shit.
Speaker 3: You've got little cameras. I'm not you're asking I know
Speaker 3: you didn't quite literally ask this, but you're asking what
Speaker 3: is an overlay app that you could get on board with?
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking trying to think of like what like
Speaker 1: recognition is the one that would help me the most,
Speaker 1: but that violates people's privacy.
Speaker 3: Pretty every idea I have is an absolute violation of
Speaker 3: privacy because the only thing I'm it's like I want
Speaker 3: to indulge the fact that I'm not a superhuman, which
Speaker 3: is like I want to be able to read someone's mind.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, what do you do?
Speaker 2: Where are you from? How old are you?
Speaker 3: Like, like I want to see a tidy four line
Speaker 3: summation of a person so I can just jump to
Speaker 3: conclusions very quickly and keep moving with my day. But yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think it would be something like where,
Speaker 3: like where is this person from? What's their name? Because
Speaker 3: sometimes I like walking around LA and be like, oh,
Speaker 3: you're not from LA. Where are you from the Midwest?
Speaker 3: Where are you from the East Coast? And it's funny
Speaker 3: when you see people like like in LA, people like
Speaker 3: meet each other and ask each other like you have
Speaker 3: like such an East Coast vibe.
Speaker 2: Like it's something to hear so much in LA. I'm like, what.
Speaker 1: Getting smoking cigarettes and giving everyone the finger that exactly?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like East Coast vibe to you.
Speaker 1: Were Anyways, We'll see, you know, maybe maybe Apple has
Speaker 1: come up with or will come up with some you know,
Speaker 1: apps that will make this way cooler than it seems.
Speaker 2: At this moment. It's just like the things that.
Speaker 1: They've created in the past have generally been Like when
Speaker 1: they dropped the iPhone, it was like obvious what was
Speaker 1: cool about it? Like you didn't know buttons, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was the cool thing, the.
Speaker 2: Thing that you just touched, the fucking glass part. Yeah,
Speaker 2: yeah exactly.
Speaker 3: And even like an Apple watch, you understood, like fucking
Speaker 3: the iPad, even though the beginning I remember I was like, man,
Speaker 3: this is a big ass iPhone. Fuck that to me,
Speaker 3: like holding my iPad like at night as I go
Speaker 3: to sleep. Yeah, but I just don't think with this
Speaker 3: I think thet Yeah, it's just the cost and what
Speaker 3: it promises to do just doesn't feel life changing at
Speaker 3: least for like in my day to day life. Uh,
Speaker 3: because it's not like it's like it doesn't seem like
Speaker 3: you could safely like ride a bike with those ships on.
Speaker 2: Maybe that yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Feel like that would maybe be illegal, Like if I
Speaker 1: saw somebody driving, I would be I mean, like, I
Speaker 1: guess they're called path through cameras.
Speaker 2: They're like that.
Speaker 1: They're probably like work really well, like work.
Speaker 2: Better than the human eye. But I don't know. It
Speaker 2: still worries me.
Speaker 3: Oh for sure, I think I but you know, we're
Speaker 3: going to see some assholes, Like I can't wait for
Speaker 3: that string of like viral images of people getting caught
Speaker 3: like wearing those things in the weirdest places, because you
Speaker 3: know there's like Apple fan people who are who are
Speaker 3: you know, they're going to be lining up and they're
Speaker 3: gonna be like, yeah, I do my I drive a
Speaker 3: school bus with these on.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk some shitty TikTok trends. Oh, we
Speaker 1: got tattooing, so this one, I think we can just
Speaker 1: tell people you don't You don't even have to click yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't have to like watch the video. You can
Speaker 1: just move on when you see this one. Here's it
Speaker 1: seems like they're about to tattoo a toddler, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: here's the baby child.
Speaker 3: Here's the first line from an article on insight. It's's quote.
Speaker 3: Videos of toddlers receiving fake tattoos have gone mega viral
Speaker 3: in recent months, sparking concern from TikTok viewers who seemed
Speaker 3: convinced the ink was real and like, yeah, there's like
Speaker 3: a bunch of videos where you like it's like a
Speaker 3: tattoo gun. You hear it going off, they touch it
Speaker 3: to like a little kid's skin, and then like like
Speaker 3: you clearly see like a happy face being drawn on,
Speaker 3: and then like eighty percent of the way through the video,
Speaker 3: like a text card comes up. It's like, before you
Speaker 3: freak out, it's clear it's a marker and not a
Speaker 3: needle and it's not an actual tattoo. I just wanted
Speaker 3: you to believe it up to this point so I
Speaker 3: would get enough outrage views. And there's other ones of
Speaker 3: like other little kids like going to like a tattoo
Speaker 3: shop and like picking out a tattoo and like getting
Speaker 3: their skin all prepared and all this other shit. It's
Speaker 3: it's just so fucking wild because it's just a bummer
Speaker 3: to watch because it's all just they're doing it for
Speaker 3: outrage views, right, and like but all you're doing is
Speaker 3: like faux child abuse, so that's what you're like. It's
Speaker 3: like being like it's like be like POV, you're starving
Speaker 3: your child for the third straight week because he dropped
Speaker 3: your PS five controller, and then you're like.
Speaker 2: Before you start thinking this is real, it's not.
Speaker 3: I'm joking that I'm starving my child because because they
Speaker 3: broke up PlayStation five control.
Speaker 2: It's a joke. A movie that's the whole world is
Speaker 2: just scams. Now. It's just like we don't we don't
Speaker 2: mind anymore.
Speaker 1: Like there that did you see that like trump Bucks
Speaker 1: thing where they were like that, yeah, they so good,
Speaker 1: but like they open every video being like this is
Speaker 1: trump Bucks is not legal tender, but then of course
Speaker 1: just go on to say that it's legal tender.
Speaker 2: You know, it's so funny.
Speaker 3: When we talked about that story, both Jack Keaes and
Speaker 3: Daniel thought, did you see the clip from when he
Speaker 3: was when Trump was supposedly on Fox News talking about
Speaker 3: trump Bucks and it was just a bad impersonator.
Speaker 2: No, I didn't see it. Oh my god.
Speaker 3: That was like and with these dude TRB trump Bucks,
Speaker 3: you will be rich. And I'm like, this is such
Speaker 3: a bad impersonation. And afterwards they're both like, wait, so
Speaker 3: he did that on Fox.
Speaker 2: I'm like, god, no, yoah, that's the worst impression I've
Speaker 2: ever heard. Don't buy these yere fired? Yeah, what is
Speaker 2: he said?
Speaker 1: He said your maut Daniel was like, we should, we
Speaker 1: should buy those, That's what he said.
Speaker 3: For ninety nine dollars, we can get ten thousand dollars
Speaker 3: worth of trump Bucks. Yeah, that's like a that's one
Speaker 3: hundred x deal.
Speaker 1: But anyways, where we we've openly like the scam is
Speaker 1: in the the idea of scamming is just in the bloodstream.
Speaker 2: We don't care anymore.
Speaker 1: We're just like, ah, they really got my ass with
Speaker 1: this right waste of my eighty seconds watching someone draw
Speaker 1: a happy face with the marker on their kids.
Speaker 2: You got me, you got me.
Speaker 3: I watched way too long of a video of someone
Speaker 3: tattooing a toddler.
Speaker 2: Where am I engine goes.
Speaker 1: It's also unclear if the toddler knew it was not
Speaker 1: going to be real because the toddler's like, is.
Speaker 2: It gonna hurt, It's gonna hurt, right, No, yeah, it's
Speaker 2: gonna hurt. It's gonna be fine. Just don't worry about it.
Speaker 2: Don't worry about it. Jack. You know what TikTok slang?
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk TikTok slang, which I knew some of this.
Speaker 1: I knew the there's some of this that is.
Speaker 2: Not TikTok slane.
Speaker 1: No, just like long term acronyms that people have been
Speaker 1: using for a long time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's this list on what how do you say
Speaker 3: dexter toe? Yeah, dot com saying TikTok slang explain Bohmer's
Speaker 3: buckle up. But like the it's I don't know what
Speaker 3: generation this list is intended for, because there's clearly things
Speaker 3: that I'm like have existed since I was a young
Speaker 3: since I were a young person. Uh, And then like
Speaker 3: other explanations that are a little bit more like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I would say esoteric that if you're not on, if
Speaker 3: you're not fully take talk brained, you might not know.
Speaker 3: But like, yeah, I don't know. I was just like
Speaker 3: when it said, what does CEO mean? And it's like,
Speaker 3: so it's like TikTok's slaying explained. The first one is POV,
Speaker 3: which its around, but that's I get for that. That's
Speaker 3: a form, that's a format.
Speaker 2: Or style of TikTok videos. The POV one.
Speaker 1: The description doesn't explain that, like POV does not actually
Speaker 1: mean what POV means in film, Like a POV shot
Speaker 1: in film is like you are seeing from Jason Voorhees's
Speaker 1: perspective as walks up, whereas POV is like POV, you're
Speaker 1: doing something like it just seems like.
Speaker 2: It's not whose perspective is it.
Speaker 3: I remember when I first saw them, I was like,
Speaker 3: but this isn't from the POV of the person you
Speaker 3: just labeled. This looks like it's a third party watching this, right.
Speaker 3: I was like, Yeah, that's where my old man brain
Speaker 3: was like, man, the same POV. And then after a
Speaker 3: while I'm like, Okay, we're using it loosely, like how
Speaker 3: we don't know how.
Speaker 1: To say nonplused exactly. Yeah, we're just is it close enough?
Speaker 1: They also have CEO, which I was like, oh, they
Speaker 1: have a new meaning of ceo.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: And the definition CEO is a term that has of
Speaker 1: course of course, predated TikTok, meaning chief executive officer, but
Speaker 1: thanks to social media, the term has taken on new meaning.
Speaker 1: To be the CEO of something means that you are
Speaker 1: the best at the thing in question, and it is
Speaker 1: generally meant as a compliment.
Speaker 2: Where do you the CEO of? Would you say if
Speaker 2: you're giving yourself like a rap shit? You know? Ship? Okay? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh I like that.
Speaker 3: I'm a CEO of falling asleep in a dark room.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, that might go down. What I'm up? I'm up?
Speaker 2: What do you what? What? I'm awake? I'm away. I
Speaker 2: was man, I'm sorry. I was to see Spider Man.
Speaker 3: The second Nicole Kidman showed up on screen. I started
Speaker 3: going away to La La Land, just Twinkle Twinkle Land.
Speaker 1: So you you just liked, like the couple of minutes
Speaker 1: that you were conscious for well of the of the
Speaker 1: Spider Man.
Speaker 3: It was. I mean, I might as well talk about it.
Speaker 3: It was so I will say this pro tip. The
Speaker 3: way to not fall asleep in a movie is make
Speaker 3: sure you go to a movie where the main character
Speaker 3: has your name. Also, that's right because the amount of
Speaker 3: miles and I'm like, what it's like there are times
Speaker 3: I'm like fucking starting to doze off and i just
Speaker 3: hear that name over and I'm like, okay, I'm here here.
Speaker 3: All that to say, like the first two minutes, I
Speaker 3: was a little I was kind of I don't know why, sudden,
Speaker 3: like the movies starting and I'm like, what the fuck
Speaker 3: is happening to me, just because I'm sitting still in
Speaker 3: a dark room. And then dude, it's so fucking good.
Speaker 3: The animation is somehow, I think, better than the first.
Speaker 2: One, which was really cool, which is.
Speaker 3: Breath taking, but this is like the way they're like
Speaker 3: actually modeling things in three D, so like there are
Speaker 3: these camera moves within like an animated backdrop like give
Speaker 3: this really great cinematic quality to it, along with just
Speaker 3: like the sort of the comic book art that they're
Speaker 3: sort of smashing together. Because because it's like this multiverse thing,
Speaker 3: you have some characters that are like sort of drawn
Speaker 3: in other styles, like you know, Spider Punk, who's now
Speaker 3: my favorite new favorite character.
Speaker 2: Uh, not just because he's.
Speaker 3: Like a fash bashing anti capitalist like punk rock versa,
Speaker 3: but also voiced by the legend Daniel Kluia.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: And you know, obviously Ardent Arsenal supporter. But yeah, I
Speaker 3: just gotta say it's I'm so like, I don't I was.
Speaker 3: I keep telling you this on like when we talk
Speaker 3: about like editorial stuff, like I gotta go to the movies,
Speaker 3: like I have to go.
Speaker 2: It's fun. I love going to the movies.
Speaker 1: I mean it, I'm always rooting for movies to do well,
Speaker 1: even if they're you know, like Air. I didn't love it,
Speaker 1: but I'm so happy it did pretty well when it
Speaker 1: came out.
Speaker 2: Sure, sure, yeah, you gotta go, you gotta go.
Speaker 3: Uh, there were so many it's fun actually seeing you know,
Speaker 3: like people know I'm notoriously ignorant of the MCU.
Speaker 2: So like when shit happens, I'm huh huh.
Speaker 3: Luckily with like these animated Spider Man ones, like I know,
Speaker 3: I know enough about Spider Man just in general to
Speaker 3: like keep up with these. But every now and then
Speaker 3: there's like a reference to the MCU or like the
Speaker 3: crowd erupts, and I'm like part of me was like,
Speaker 3: what the fuck are y'all going on about? And then
Speaker 3: I'm like, right, that's the magic of like being engaged
Speaker 3: or something, is like you get these little tidbits and
Speaker 3: everyone gets so excited. People were getting emotional at times.
Speaker 2: I didn't know why, but.
Speaker 3: It was it could just because I'm completely disconnected from
Speaker 3: my emotions.
Speaker 2: That could be it.
Speaker 3: But yeah, fantastic, fantastic, highly recommend.
Speaker 1: Does Spider Pig make a return, yeah, John mullenia man,
Speaker 1: but not like for.
Speaker 3: That, like, yeah, you don't get a ton of Spider
Speaker 3: Pig equips, but it's dope the amount of like other
Speaker 3: spiders people's spiders merg.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do they pluralize it as spiders men? No they
Speaker 2: don't that they don't.
Speaker 3: Well I wish they did, Yeah, I really wish they did,
Speaker 3: but no, there's no spiders. Man. Asa Ray's fantastic and
Speaker 3: it's just like, yeah, just great viewing.
Speaker 2: And if you don't know anything.
Speaker 3: About the MCU, it is fine because you could watch
Speaker 3: it and you know exactly how you know, you know
Speaker 3: what's going on.
Speaker 2: All right, Well you have your recommendation, which well we'll
Speaker 2: always have a recommendation for you on this weekend. Rewind
Speaker 2: rewind Oh.
Speaker 3: Also this Korean Netflix show Siren, This fucking reality show
Speaker 3: is so wild. It's like the most high stakes game
Speaker 3: of capture the Flag I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: It's pretty dope.
Speaker 3: It's like groups of like different these women that have
Speaker 3: like they're like firefighters or bodyguards or like policemen or
Speaker 3: like stunt people or whatever, and they it's it's it's
Speaker 3: it's fucking wild. Anyone who's played like high like capture,
Speaker 3: like liked playing Capture the Flag. There's no way you
Speaker 3: could watch this and like it won't that it won't
Speaker 3: resonate you if you watch resonate with you if you
Speaker 3: watch it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, any anything else from the TikTok slang list
Speaker 1: that was helpful to you that you had.
Speaker 2: Seen and didn't know what it was.
Speaker 3: Accountant so at the time, because like a lot of
Speaker 3: these were like they start off being like, yeah, we
Speaker 3: know what a fucking CEO is, and then there's like accountant,
Speaker 3: which is the first I was like, okay, this said.
Speaker 3: The term account blew up after US Rocky Petera uploaded
Speaker 3: video which he explained via a catchy song, why he
Speaker 3: prefers to tell people he's an accountant rather than saying
Speaker 3: he's a quote struggling actor. And basically it's just sort
Speaker 3: of like a you know, it's just a stand in
Speaker 3: for when you don't really want to explain your job
Speaker 3: to say, like I'm an accountant. But but particularly now
Speaker 3: for people who make like adult content or if you're
Speaker 3: like a sex work or something, you can it's like
Speaker 3: short talent shorthand saying you're an accountant.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, there we go. I was like, I didn't.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize.
Speaker 3: See I would have like you wait, all y'all are accountants,
Speaker 3: Like it's how I.
Speaker 2: Think I would have been.
Speaker 1: Congratulations, so you're all CPAs great.
Speaker 2: Do y'all do taxes too? Because I could? I could
Speaker 2: do smell And.
Speaker 3: Then a lot of it's just like aa ve right
Speaker 3: where it's just like yeah, we know, like like sma's
Speaker 3: are like like I don't, like I don't know, like
Speaker 3: other things like that.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize seen it as io N.
Speaker 1: To know io N was like, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: care about that. I thought it was ion like twin
Speaker 1: ion engines.
Speaker 2: From the Wars.
Speaker 3: There is there is N These means I don't. But
Speaker 3: that's what's funny when you see those like things broken
Speaker 3: down into like standard English, I own, I don't.
Speaker 1: And we've heard we've talked about the RIZ the meaning
Speaker 1: someone with yeah charisma but focus unspoken riz. Unspoken rizz
Speaker 1: refers to someone's ability to attract people without speaking to them.
Speaker 1: I got, yeah, yeah, we both have got to a
Speaker 1: crazy degree. Mostly it is helpful to see it acknowledged
Speaker 1: and people know why people are describing us that way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's mostly because we we draw them in out
Speaker 3: of concern. They're concerned us them in And I'm like
Speaker 3: that Riz, They're like, no, we're oh, okay, so you're fine, Like, yeah,
Speaker 3: did you know, yeah, you fell right into my track,
Speaker 3: worried about my safety me, Riz Khalifa, There you go.
Speaker 2: All right, let's take one more break, we'll come back.
Speaker 1: We'll a couple last trends and we'll be out here,
Speaker 1: and we're back. And people are saying Trump might get indicted,
Speaker 1: might just get caught in a rico potentially.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did not think those words are going to
Speaker 3: be uttered. But it says there there's things that the
Speaker 3: Georgia Trump rope signs might be pointing to racketeering charges.
Speaker 1: Then they specifically think the Jack Smith investigation is you know,
Speaker 1: coming to some sort of conclusion, uh, some sort of
Speaker 1: a charging decision I may be imminent. So yeah, we
Speaker 1: you know, we don't know we don't keep an eye
Speaker 1: on that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll be like, yeah, yeah, wake me up when
Speaker 3: it's actually when it happens, Like I want to see
Speaker 3: you know what I want to see. I want to
Speaker 3: see Trump who can't do his hair and has to
Speaker 3: go to court a court appearance.
Speaker 2: Is it ever get that? That is the That is
Speaker 2: the dream.
Speaker 3: Bastly, that's the fucking heron you go straight into my veins,
Speaker 3: would be like, uh yeah, fucking prisoner Trump being like.
Speaker 2: That'd be a messy comb over. Man, you ain't got
Speaker 2: hair products. Oh boy, oh boy.
Speaker 3: The other thing is too We mentioned it off handily
Speaker 3: on like on Fridays now that there's like fucking tapes
Speaker 3: of him saying that he had stolen documents and like
Speaker 3: he knows that they're like he shouldn't have them and
Speaker 3: he knows he shouldn't be sharing them with people.
Speaker 2: I'm sure.
Speaker 3: I wonder if that accelerated things where his lawyers went
Speaker 3: to the DOJ today like hey, hey, so like.
Speaker 2: This is what do you think? What are you thinking?
Speaker 2: Day now?
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see how reality bends its
Speaker 1: way to letting him get away with absolutely no consequences, right,
Speaker 1: but exactly we don't know. So there's also speaking of
Speaker 1: Trump being able to get away with everything. Chris Licked,
Speaker 1: who is the chairman CEO of CNN Worldwide. He's the
Speaker 1: guy who came in and was like, CNN's two woke,
Speaker 1: we need to like take it back, make it more
Speaker 1: like Fox News. He organized the Trump town hall where
Speaker 1: it was just like Trump Stand Up Special.
Speaker 2: Yea.
Speaker 1: So he had also So another good news, good decision
Speaker 1: this guy made in the past couple in the past
Speaker 1: year was that he had given the Atlantics Tim Alberta
Speaker 1: just unprecedented months long access to him, just around the
Speaker 1: clock for everything, like talk everybody, talk to him, tell
Speaker 1: them the truth.
Speaker 2: We're good here. And he just dropped a pro file
Speaker 2: that everyone's like, this might be it for this guy.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 3: Fucking the fucking hubris of these Oh yeah, man, man
Speaker 3: document everything, document everything. It's pretty sick how I live
Speaker 3: my life and like what it just all bunch like
Speaker 3: and everyone that works from hates him.
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly.
Speaker 1: So here are some of the revelations backstage in New
Speaker 1: Hampshire last month, he told SO. This was before the
Speaker 1: Trump Stand Up Special. He told former President Trump have fun,
Speaker 1: which Alberta is like Trump obliged. He knew in advanced
Speaker 1: the audience was what he called extra trumpy, and everybody
Speaker 1: at CNN was like, are you.
Speaker 2: Fucking kidding me with this guy? Like what is he doing?
Speaker 1: He's trying, but I mean, we learned that he was
Speaker 1: trying to make news, So he's trying to do something outrageous,
Speaker 1: which is your job as the head of a supposedly
Speaker 1: trusted news brand. People at CNN think he's projecting this
Speaker 1: persona of bulletproof badass because that's what zaslav our boy
Speaker 1: for whom a fleabag sex scene was too much wants
Speaker 1: to see. But like it's just he's losing employees, like constantly,
Speaker 1: bad judgment on big moves. Seems like he's like all
Speaker 1: his firings and big decisions have not gone well. But
Speaker 1: I like, just like these little personal details. At a
Speaker 1: holiday dinner for his DC based talent at Cafe Milano,
Speaker 1: Lick spent much of the dinner looking at his phone,
Speaker 1: including reading a critical story about him and Puck. So
Speaker 1: he's just like reading people criticizing him and just like
Speaker 1: being frownie face. And then he's obsessed with Jeff Zucker
Speaker 1: who had his job before him.
Speaker 2: So oh no, this paragraph is great.
Speaker 1: Lick, who went from two hundred and twenty six pounds
Speaker 1: to one hundred and seventy eight via a celebrity train,
Speaker 1: told Alberta why he was skipping a meal.
Speaker 2: I'm a fucking machine. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Working out at his Manhattan gym, Licked squatted down to
Speaker 1: grab a long metal pole lying flat on the ground.
Speaker 1: Zucker couldn't do this, shit, Licked said, the welenched teeth, hoisting.
Speaker 2: The pole with a grunt.
Speaker 1: And he's just lifting the pole like without the weights
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 2: Oh, you just mean the fucking like the bart of
Speaker 2: like bench and shit, I'm like that's what I'm assuming,
Speaker 2: Like the forty five pound bar that you put the
Speaker 2: like the fucking plates. Oh I love that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I mean maybe maybe he's a bit guy.
Speaker 1: Maybe these are just bits that I.
Speaker 3: Continuing, like the Tom woms Gam story, like that seems
Speaker 3: like such like the dumbest feet of strength. But then
Speaker 3: like evoking your like nemesis to be like, man, he
Speaker 3: can't do.
Speaker 2: This normal thing. You're like and they took us zip
Speaker 2: from his sports beverage. Did they say that like that
Speaker 2: that's what he doesn't think. Come on, gatora gatorade. I
Speaker 2: can just see him bring a gatorade so desperately.
Speaker 3: Right after that too, Yeah, well then I feel like
Speaker 3: I got to read this and.
Speaker 1: Then finally, uh, let's talk. So NASA had a panel
Speaker 1: where they were basically just like, yeah, there's UFOs, there's
Speaker 1: there are strange metallic orbs all over the planet that
Speaker 1: we can't explain. Basically the upshot and so what I mean,
Speaker 1: we'll talk more about. Our expert interview is with an
Speaker 1: academic av lobe who is interested in, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: the search for extraterrest real life. Uh so, I mean this,
Speaker 1: this feels like a big moment for acknowledging that there
Speaker 1: are these things that we can't explain. The panel was
Speaker 1: just basically, you know, they shared some pictures of like
Speaker 1: like there was a military drone that captured a picture
Speaker 1: of a metallic orb, and they were like, this is
Speaker 1: not uncommon. We see these all over the time. The
Speaker 1: quote this is a quote. We see these all over
Speaker 1: the world, and we see these making very interesting apparent maneuvers.
Speaker 1: And then they've noted eight hundred similar cases of metallic orbs,
Speaker 1: which is.
Speaker 3: Weird, right, I mean it sounds like because like right,
Speaker 3: this panel sort of put together because NASA famously does
Speaker 3: not talk about anything to do with extraterrestrial intelligence or
Speaker 3: UFOs or UAPs or anything like that. Like they're like,
Speaker 3: we're interested in things outside of like our immediate planet.
Speaker 3: And so this was kind of like a big moment
Speaker 3: because this was what wasn't this group basically impaneled to
Speaker 3: help like NASA determine how they want to assist with
Speaker 3: like this research.
Speaker 2: Essentially that like.
Speaker 3: Now they're being like, now, we figured that this is
Speaker 3: probably worth studying, and we're going to come back with
Speaker 3: like how the best way to engage with this kind
Speaker 3: of research is going to be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think like it is important to do
Speaker 1: this even if they're not extraterrestrial, just so that we
Speaker 1: can like kind of clear that because there is a
Speaker 1: lot of interest in it. And you know that they
Speaker 1: have looked at a bunch of these anomalous you know,
Speaker 1: aerial phenomenon and been able to explain them away, so
Speaker 1: like they have better tools now to capture this stuff
Speaker 1: than they've ever had before, which I think is where
Speaker 1: a lot of this is coming from. And now we
Speaker 1: just have to, you know, clear out the ones that
Speaker 1: are like that. So this was actually very interesting to me.
Speaker 1: There's they talked about what one astronaut talked about. He
Speaker 1: was on a mission in an F fourteen Tomcat supersonic jet.
Speaker 1: The flight officer in the back seat thought he saw
Speaker 1: a UFO flying past it. They looped around for another look,
Speaker 1: and it turns out it was Bart Simpson, a balloon.
Speaker 1: So like, the air is just full of fucking balloons
Speaker 1: that you you know, you look fucking weird and like
Speaker 1: don't seem to be there. And he specifically said this
Speaker 1: environment we operate in is so conducive to optical illusions.
Speaker 1: And then he showed other videos of unusual objects that
Speaker 1: had ordinary explanations. Three different airplants mistaken for one glowing troika,
Speaker 1: or once again, more weather balloons. So you know, I
Speaker 1: think they're trying to be very balanced to just be like, look,
Speaker 1: we want to figure out what these orbs are that
Speaker 1: like we can't explain.
Speaker 2: Like that that.
Speaker 1: Is a like being like the there are orbs hovering
