Speaker 1: What's your favorite food that you missed from Japan? Just
Speaker 1: tell me one time.
Speaker 2: I just loved the fact that they had like a
Speaker 2: bunch of vegan options, so like I got everything vegan
Speaker 2: and I was just like.
Speaker 1: Damn, I wish fuck it did Jack. He's telling me
Speaker 1: that because I went to this vegan e'zakaya in Shibuya
Speaker 1: that was so fucking good, and I, oh, really, she
Speaker 1: should have told you about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like everybody was going to Isakaiah like we heard
Speaker 2: about it, but I was on Happy Cow. I was
Speaker 2: on Happy Cow. I could yeah, yeah, but yeah, there's
Speaker 2: like definitely like cheesecake. I'm still thinking about.
Speaker 1: Did you have those tofu sticks that they sell at
Speaker 1: the convenience stores.
Speaker 2: No, I didn't have that. I like, I think I
Speaker 2: only ate out of the convenience store like once or
Speaker 2: twice when it was like really late. But for the
Speaker 2: most part, I got to like go everywhere and just
Speaker 2: like have vegan food, and it was completely different than
Speaker 2: my trip in like twenty fifteen, when I was just
Speaker 2: only eating out of stores. It's crazy how much that's blossomed.
Speaker 2: But it made me so happy because I could have
Speaker 2: like rammen and I had like ben to Box I
Speaker 2: had like everything in Tokyo.
Speaker 1: There's even like a vegan bagel spot too that I
Speaker 1: feel like, like everything is. It's all happening. And it's
Speaker 1: funny though too, because sometimes in Japan they'll be like, oh,
Speaker 1: the meat is vegan, but then everything else is made
Speaker 1: with animal stuff, and sometimes there's like this misunderstanding. We're like, well,
Speaker 1: the meat is vegan, but did you use like dairy?
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, right is vegan.

Speaker 3: I didn't do that, but you did. I did, And
Speaker 3: that's why it works. How you've been.
Speaker 1: I know you were, you were, you were gallivanting, yes.
Speaker 2: But I never told work, so they thought I was
Speaker 2: here the whole time.
Speaker 1: It Yeah, I got all my work, dude.
Speaker 2: That's the point.
Speaker 3: Oh, you're able to work remotely. How is it with
Speaker 3: the time difference?
Speaker 2: Because I was up at two am and four am
Speaker 2: and pretending I was fully awake.
Speaker 1: Oh shit, I thought about that too. Is people you
Speaker 1: people know that you were in Asia?
Speaker 2: Right, I'm guessing, like like I word of mouth. But
Speaker 2: this is the first media it'll be on.
Speaker 3: Oh first media.

Speaker 2: You change your name to the water cooler? Hey, how
Speaker 2: much food have you smoked? And what federal grants are
Speaker 2: you guys?
Speaker 1: Yeah? H ship yeah, two and four. That sounds tough
Speaker 1: because every time I've gone to Asian, I thought, yeah,
Speaker 1: I might be able to record remotely. I've thought I
Speaker 1: could do that with the same amount of energy unless
Speaker 1: I've just become like I have like nurse firefighter hours
Speaker 1: where I'm like, I don't know this time I'm up,
Speaker 1: and then during the day it's a zombie walk.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then during the day you're like doing all
Speaker 2: Like I was there to like experience it, so I
Speaker 2: was like doing all the stuff, and then at night
Speaker 2: I was so I my body did crash a couple
Speaker 2: of times where I was like, this is too much.
Speaker 2: I'm too old.
Speaker 3: It's like four am. You're like, oh yeah, it was
Speaker 3: so board. What are you guys having for lunch?
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, yeah, I think I might go get like
Speaker 5: probably a rap or something. Yeah, just like eyes barely open.
Speaker 2: Okay, blurred out the background.
Speaker 3: Our number one fan is on this podcast is the
Speaker 3: guy who wrote the ink dot com article It's time
Speaker 3: to make hush trips a fireable offense employee travel sounds cool,
Speaker 3: but it could be a nightmare hush trip for HR.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: This is this is in ink dot COM's hr Benefits section.
Speaker 2: So benefits that is we have none? Next question, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: Wow, holy shit, that is so funny, amazing. Well, congratulations
Speaker 3: on a successful hush tripe.
Speaker 1: Thank you Ink dot com. You know what to do.
Speaker 3: Hush money, hush many a million, a million. All right,
Speaker 3: pre gonna get to know you a little bit better
Speaker 3: in a moment, CAUs we're gonna tell our listeners a
Speaker 3: couple of the things we're talking about. We're it's back
Speaker 3: to the art world for us. Yesterday we talked about
Speaker 3: the Prince Charles portrait, and today we have another portrait
Speaker 3: of an out of touch billionaire to talk about.
Speaker 1: This one a.
Speaker 3: Maggot out mind baron in Australia who is like, I
Speaker 3: demand this mean drawing of maybe taken down, take it
Speaker 3: down at once, So we'll talk about that. We got
Speaker 3: some helpful context on why someone might ban TikTok from
Speaker 3: a foreign country. So just you know, we generally pay
Speaker 3: attention to our zeke I said home, but we thought
Speaker 3: this is like, you know, helpful. Oh, this is the game. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that guy'st abroad.
Speaker 1: This time.
Speaker 2: Takes on where this is semester at c Yeah.
Speaker 3: We're gonna take a moment to talk about how John
Speaker 3: Krasinski is the worst because his new movies come out
Speaker 3: it's like a little children's children's fun thing, but his
Speaker 3: whole childwashing like US war crimes. Probably it'll be interesting
Speaker 3: to see, Like I kind of want to watch it
Speaker 3: because like A Quiet Place was like, you know, had
Speaker 3: some weird, insidious, like third level symbolism in there where
Speaker 3: it was like, are you making a movie about anyhow?
Speaker 3: You can't even say nothing anymore because things run at you,
Speaker 3: and like get me.
Speaker 2: Was watching movies with no ability to critique them or
Speaker 2: understand symbology because I was like, this is fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it was fun.
Speaker 2: Brainwash me, baby, I don't know what's going on. I'm
Speaker 2: too dumb brainwashed.
Speaker 3: I think it only makes sense if you like look
Speaker 3: at it in the context of his other films, which
Speaker 3: I refuse. Yeah, yeah, and I will not be doing that.
Speaker 3: So that's subject we want to be covering on this episode,
Speaker 3: and maybe we'll talk about how the falling birth rate
Speaker 3: is scaring everyone around the world. According to the hypercapitalists
Speaker 3: at the Wall Street Journal, suddenly there aren't enough babies.
Speaker 3: The whole world is alarmed.
Speaker 1: Their head is their.
Speaker 2: Headline so funny because they're not very maternal to me.
Speaker 2: I'm not getting a bit from them. I don't see
Speaker 2: a whole lot of mothering going on on Wall Street.
Speaker 1: You know, unless unless you work on Wall Street, in
Speaker 1: which case you read it and you're like, oh mother,
Speaker 1: we love this.
Speaker 3: Oh mother, Yeah, each other mother. And they're not serving cut.
Speaker 2: They're not serving enough. Cunt on, how much cut did
Speaker 2: you serve today?
Speaker 3: You're not meeting your court.
Speaker 1: Make the serving cut line go up.
Speaker 2: If the Wolf of Wall Street was about that, then that,
Speaker 2: like inspirational speech by Matthew McConaughey would have had a
Speaker 2: totally different vibe.
Speaker 3: That scene is a lot of fun. Matthew McConaughey Wolf
Speaker 3: of Wall Street scene is yeah, but like incredible from
Speaker 3: the outside to be like, holy shit, these people are monsters.
Speaker 3: And I'm sure taken by people who work on Wall
Speaker 3: Street as like that's life goals.
Speaker 1: Bro. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Anyways, we also have an important decision to make about
Speaker 3: the new McDonald's mcflurry. You know, we have a tradition
Speaker 3: on this podcast, like when McDonald's released the Grimace Shake,
Speaker 3: we were like, well that is clearly grimmace. Come it
Speaker 3: is purple. It just seems like, like, how is it
Speaker 3: Grimace based? Like other than yeah? So now they've released
Speaker 3: a new mcflurry that is Grandma Flavor. I don't yeah,
Speaker 3: do we even?
Speaker 1: I don't think we do, right, my sordid brain, if
Speaker 1: if the extension of Grimace led to Grimace come, I
Speaker 1: cannot go down the path Grandma Flavor?
Speaker 2: Grandma come? Are you not a feminist? Grandmother's coming? Here's
Speaker 2: some news your grandmother's probably come, and that's how your
Speaker 2: mom was made.
Speaker 3: I wanted to bring it up because I knew Miles
Speaker 3: and I weren't brave enough, and I wanted to bring
Speaker 3: it up because so brave we won't even talk about
Speaker 3: that we have an official women coming.
Speaker 2: I am so brave you are.
Speaker 3: It's too much. So Miles and I are like David
Speaker 3: Zaslove who like who was like, all right, guys, if
Speaker 3: we're going to watch this, we can't look at each other. Well,
Speaker 3: flea bag is on?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 3: Before we get to any of that, probably would do
Speaker 3: like to ask our guests, what is something from your
Speaker 3: search history?
Speaker 2: Okay? If you think I'm gonna get canceled for this,
Speaker 2: please cut it out. But I just today googled wife
Speaker 2: beat her other names. I know that we're not supposed
Speaker 2: to use that name because it's really bad, right right,
Speaker 2: right awful, But I didn't know what men call tank tops,
Speaker 2: and I was like, is it just a tank top?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: What is it called? So there's like muscle shirts and
Speaker 2: other things, but it's pretty fucked up that that was.
Speaker 2: I couldn't think of the names for it.
Speaker 1: I know that it is wild, how casually that was
Speaker 1: just sort of like I remember the first time I
Speaker 1: wanted went telling my mom. I think it was in
Speaker 1: seventh grade. I was like, Mom, I need to pack
Speaker 1: of wife beaters and she's like, what are you the immigrants? Literally,
Speaker 1: So with the fucking time on, I'm like those tank
Speaker 1: tops and my mom was like oh, she's like why,
Speaker 1: She's like, you're a child.
Speaker 2: It's like I'm about to buy them and they're going
Speaker 2: to be a sun beater. Okay, I'm about to go
Speaker 2: get them free?
Speaker 3: Yeah is there?
Speaker 1: Wait? So what what what is it called? Now?
Speaker 2: Even there's like tank tops, muscle shirts, Let's see.
Speaker 3: What I'll say, undershirt, but undershirt is too vague.
Speaker 2: Some of them just call them beaters. But I'm like,
Speaker 2: we know what that is.
Speaker 1: You can't. Yeah, yeah, we know what you're affirming.
Speaker 2: Equal equal opportunity. Beater that didn't work.
Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, I beat all my family members when I
Speaker 3: wear this, not just I like how there's even like
Speaker 3: articles about like how did this become the term we
Speaker 3: used to describe a piece of clothing.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's pretty pretty insane.
Speaker 3: I guess the like like John McClain is the I
Speaker 3: feel like the guy from die Hard, I feel like
Speaker 3: is the one connotation that might be powerful enough to
Speaker 3: like if there was like something right in that. But
Speaker 3: it's amazing there, like how deeply and widely that nickname
Speaker 3: just took over there. It's like, yeah, now that's what
Speaker 3: this is called.
Speaker 1: Now full.
Speaker 2: Sorry, so my Google search history is me trying to
Speaker 2: better myself. What's yours?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I just don't wear them. My My upper body is
Speaker 1: not developed enough to wear a muscle tea, So I
Speaker 1: just wear baggy sports shirts now fair enough?
Speaker 3: Yeah, gotta know, you gotta know your bills.
Speaker 2: It shouldn't be a muscle tea. It should be a
Speaker 2: Torso tea.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go, it's a mummy undershirt.
Speaker 2: Miles, give me that Torso tea. What's not?
Speaker 1: I got it? Torso t Yeah, get your potholders out
Speaker 1: because it's piping hot. Now they're saying like it also
Speaker 1: came from a street car named Desire is when it.
Speaker 3: Also that's what came picturing in my mind is yeah,
Speaker 3: what's his name?
Speaker 1: It still hadn't taken hold, but yeah, the shirt was
Speaker 1: a mark of immigrant status because Kowalski was Polish. Yet
Speaker 1: the white tank was often linked to poor Italian American
Speaker 1: men too. Oh and then people called it a daygo tea. Wow,
Speaker 1: So this thing has always been used to just be like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: whatever the fuck the all motherfuckers are wearing? Wow? Wow Wow. Okay,
Speaker 1: well there you go.
Speaker 3: Let's call it a tank top, eh, tank top? Tank
Speaker 3: top does seem different to me like undershirt a tank undershirt?
Speaker 3: Maybe is because a tank top like there's too many
Speaker 3: loose tanks for that to suffice comp.
Speaker 2: Us Military Industrial Complex hut too many loose tanks, uh
Speaker 2: of Russia?
Speaker 3: Am I right? What is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 2: Okay? This is also potentially going to upset people, But okay,
Speaker 2: I don't like doing having to do them, but I
Speaker 2: do think sometimes we take chores for granted, because I
Speaker 2: do think sometimes it's good for us to if you
Speaker 2: have an email's emails, emails job. I think it's good
Speaker 2: to like get up and walk around and do something
Speaker 2: like that you don't have to think about. And so
Speaker 2: like for me, I like folding laundry because I don't
Speaker 2: have to think and I'm like, oh, look at all
Speaker 2: my clothes. They're cute, you know, things like that, or
Speaker 2: just like cleaning. And then I also think it makes
Speaker 2: your like apartment nicer, you know, and like that's investing
Speaker 2: in you and your own happiness and your environment. So
Speaker 2: I think it's a way of like self care. Does
Speaker 2: that make sense?
Speaker 1: Where does the offensive part come in? Now?
Speaker 2: Because people have to like do chores, like do more
Speaker 2: or less chores depending on like what part of the
Speaker 2: socioeconomic class they're in, right, So it's a privilege. So
Speaker 2: if I'm like, oh, I love just being like I
Speaker 2: get to do, people are like, yeah, exactly, more like
Speaker 2: people do it for their jobs and stuff. So I
Speaker 2: don't want to be like, oh I love doing chores
Speaker 2: all the time, but I do, like I do. I
Speaker 2: am like grateful to get up and walk around and
Speaker 2: like make my life a little bit better.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like to put the uber eats orders into
Speaker 3: the oven and then pretend to take them out because
Speaker 3: I just cooked them for my kids.
Speaker 2: You're in an apron, you're.
Speaker 1: Weighing out on your face. You got to put it
Speaker 1: down a little bit, goes missus Doubtfire too, where they
Speaker 1: got the takeout meal and then just plated it and
Speaker 1: was like, oh, here's the food trail.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, right right right, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: I mean I love it. It's funny. The folding is
Speaker 1: very like meditative for me because I'm like a very
Speaker 1: I'm a perfectionist, so I like I like to really
Speaker 1: like get my text. Like me and my partner Magicy,
Speaker 1: Like we get an argument.
Speaker 3: I'm like, you're not folding these shirts, Like let me
Speaker 3: do it because I got my special way to do it.
Speaker 3: And she's like, what are you wearing when you say that, Miles,
Speaker 3: I'm wearing.
Speaker 1: A torso te by any chance, because like like like
Speaker 1: here's I'll fold her underwear. She's like, you don't have
Speaker 1: to fold my underwroun. I'm like, I liked, like we
Speaker 1: get arguments to that where it's like it's okay, Like
Speaker 1: I like the process of like folding every single thing
Speaker 1: where I get She's like, I know, but you like
Speaker 1: it too much.
Speaker 3: Bro.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, exactly, like you don't have to wear giving
Speaker 1: it alive. She's like, you always say you have one
Speaker 1: on deck, but it means you're just wearing one pair
Speaker 1: of my underwear on your head. And I'm like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: here's the next one. Man, this one's on deck. Now
Speaker 1: for the next folding.
Speaker 2: What is your So that's your favorite shore jack? What's
Speaker 2: your favorite shore?
Speaker 3: Miss?
Speaker 1: Alene?
Speaker 3: Like, probably cleaning up after my kids.
Speaker 2: Just oh, that's cute.
Speaker 3: They've so many fucking legos. Just sorting legos is basically
Speaker 3: one of my main jobs. Breaking boxes down, Like, oh yeah,
Speaker 3: they come like I spent a lot of time with that.
Speaker 1: Spend a lot of time with that box. Spend a
Speaker 1: lot of time with that cat.
Speaker 3: Look at you post consumer materials breaking them down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: What's your what's your guys least favorite chores? Okay, my
Speaker 2: my favorite chore is h folding clothes. My least favorite
Speaker 2: is dishes.
Speaker 3: Dishes, same, Oh, I actually like dishes. I like cleaning dishes.
Speaker 3: I do not like making food.
Speaker 6: See that's where I like you're invited over any time. Yea, dishes,
Speaker 6: that's where it works too, because I like to cook
Speaker 6: and also go to the store. Her Majesty hates going
Speaker 6: to the store and cooking, and I'm like to say less,
Speaker 6: It's like, if you cook these dishes, I'll do whatever
Speaker 6: the fuck we do.
Speaker 3: Grocery shopping is one of my favorites, one of her
Speaker 3: most hated chores.
Speaker 2: It's interesting.
Speaker 1: I don't know why it, Like, I think because I
Speaker 1: still have this thing where, like the first time I
Speaker 1: did it on my own, I felt like it felt
Speaker 1: like such an accomplishment, like my Mom's not with me
Speaker 1: and I'm at the grocery store.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like coasting off of that first moment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm still chasing that dragon, that high of being like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm fucking eighteen and I'm buying oreoles that I'll eat
Speaker 1: for dinner.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I think that still I'll be like, oh, I'm
Speaker 2: going to I'm driving a taco bell and no one's
Speaker 2: stopping me.
Speaker 1: The windows.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And also I think my early association in adulthood
Speaker 3: with going grocery shopping, like when Cracked was first starting,
Speaker 3: Like my wife was in medical school, so she was
Speaker 3: just like at the hospital all day every day, and
Speaker 3: I was just like working NonStop and the one thing
Speaker 3: I left the house to do was go to Walmart
Speaker 3: in Columbia, Missouri. That is fun and it was like, uh,
Speaker 3: this is freedom, this is what this is live in.
Speaker 1: Folks keep going to the gun section, so this is good. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: we do this every day. Man cool, this one's good, right,
Speaker 1: this one's good right?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Sure.
Speaker 2: I was gonna I have to find this tweet. I
Speaker 2: know we're gonna plug tweets later, but I feel but
Speaker 2: I found this tweet where somebody was talking about going
Speaker 2: to I'm gonna find it in credit that but like
Speaker 2: somebody was talking about going to a gunfare and testing
Speaker 2: them based on their mouth feel.
Speaker 3: I saw that. That's in my likes.
Speaker 1: Let me find it.
Speaker 3: Sh gun store for commenting on their mouthfeel one of
Speaker 3: the great tweets, so much, it.
Speaker 2: Was so good.
Speaker 1: So that was Curtis.
Speaker 3: Yeah that was Amanda exclamation point ashen Heart Metal tweeted
Speaker 3: being escorted out of a gun show for rating them
Speaker 3: based on mouthfeel.
Speaker 2: Brilliant, brilliant.
Speaker 1: That is such a good twit.
Speaker 3: Paul, what is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 2: Okay? I might, No, I don't, Okay, it's not overrated.
Speaker 2: But like, who the fuck is going to watch the
Speaker 2: presidential debate this year? I don't even know what's happening
Speaker 2: with voting, but I don't want to watch. What are
Speaker 2: they going to debate about? I don't know what they're
Speaker 2: gonna even.
Speaker 1: Who can remember who they're talking to?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: All right, the first challenge is name the person standing
Speaker 1: across from you.
Speaker 2: No, first challenge is getting there without falling over. Okay,
Speaker 2: this is the least. Like I've watched the debates before
Speaker 2: and I've like commented on them and talked about it,
Speaker 2: but I'm like, this is gonna be so utterly depressing,
Speaker 2: and also there's so much other shit going on, and
Speaker 2: everybody's mad at both of them for very legitimate reasons,
Speaker 2: like don't nobody don't just put them? You know those
Speaker 2: that celebrity boxing show that used to be like do that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, do that?
Speaker 2: See if they could get in the ring without falling over.
Speaker 3: Let's see if that works, Oh man, purely stress based
Speaker 3: experience that will be of just like, yeah, and I
Speaker 3: hate both of them so much, Yeah for sure, but
Speaker 3: then like also being stressed out. Every time Joe Biden
Speaker 3: starts a sentence, it's like, oh fuck, How's how's this
Speaker 3: one gonna end?
Speaker 1: He doesn't even know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, That's how I feel about my stand up sets.
Speaker 2: I'm like, there's no fucking way Joe Biden's feeling the
Speaker 2: same way as me. I start doing proud work, Like
Speaker 2: who knows where this is gonna go. We're both like
Speaker 2: I'm definitely gonna bomb today, you know, both of us,
Speaker 2: Me and Joe.
Speaker 1: Biden, Right, yeah that I don't know what what those
Speaker 1: debates are gonna look like at all, And I don't know,
Speaker 1: like they both think they're like, oh yeah, watch this, y'all,
Speaker 1: You're gonna fucking love this, and I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's gonna render the results that they think it will.
Speaker 2: I am interested to see how he like approaches Trump
Speaker 2: because last time he was like all fired up about
Speaker 2: Malarkey and he was like, oh shut up. And now
Speaker 2: it's like, will he have that confidence and ability to
Speaker 2: breathe through talking?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, he has moments of energy where like this
Speaker 3: feels like a burst of I was saying this on
Speaker 3: yesterday's episode, but like this feels like when he was
Speaker 3: like that's it, I'm going out there, I'm gonna call
Speaker 3: press conference and answer all their dang questions man, and
Speaker 3: like he was good for not good, but like he
Speaker 3: did what he was hoping to do for like twelve
Speaker 3: minutes and was like and I'm out and then like
Speaker 3: came back to the stage and was like sundowning. And
Speaker 3: it's just like, yeah, man, it like doesn't he there's
Speaker 3: no way to be confident that he's going to be
Speaker 3: able to like reliably stand up there and not embarrass himself.
Speaker 2: You know that? Uh what do they call it? Like
Speaker 2: a second like a right? But when people are in
Speaker 2: like like dying and they're like in a hospital bed
Speaker 2: and then they get a burst of energy right before
Speaker 2: they die. Have you heard? I feel like that's this
Speaker 2: entire term for I'm like, stop getting your hopes up.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, probably for both of them too. They're like
Speaker 1: we need this, we need each other to stay alive.
Speaker 1: Just a few moments longer.
Speaker 3: All right, let's uh, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 3: we'll come back and do some art criticism. We'll be
Speaker 3: right back and we're back and actually I'm curious to
Speaker 3: get both of your takes on the portrait of King Charles,
Speaker 3: Mainly what color do you think it is?
Speaker 2: I people blue, some people said gold.
Speaker 1: We did find out the painter strangled his wife. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just like did you see that article about the guy,
Speaker 1: the guy who made the dress like got like charged
Speaker 1: with something like fort like strangling his wife.
Speaker 2: Or oh the white gold dress.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, episode of sixteenth minute Jamie Loftus's new podcast
Speaker 3: is going into that story.
Speaker 1: Oh sh yeah, doing the Lord's old Lofty.
Speaker 2: I would murder self defense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. I don't think it was like I don't
Speaker 1: think it was like a murder, like it didn't end.
Speaker 1: I think it was just a violent, terrible attack. That's awful.
Speaker 3: But the Prince Charles thing, I believe in the art world,
Speaker 3: we would call this hue of red ass blood as blood. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's what I see.
Speaker 2: I see there is some pink in there.
Speaker 1: That's ass.
Speaker 3: That's ass.
Speaker 1: That's ass too. Oh okay, I see what you're saying.
Speaker 1: So it's like ass mixed with blood blood ass blood,
Speaker 1: and it all makes sense. There's a little bit of brown,
Speaker 1: it all, it all comes together. It is a terrible,
Speaker 1: terrible rendering. Like I don't know, like I mean, I
Speaker 1: like it because it actually kind of there's a darkness
Speaker 1: to it. They yeah, yeah, like sh it's all fucking
Speaker 1: bloody facade. And I mean that in the British. It's
Speaker 1: all a bloody facade, isn't it exactly?
Speaker 3: The bloody thing won't work every stinking time with his
Speaker 3: bloody thing. That's what he did when broke well, he
Speaker 3: was trying to sign the thing we.
Speaker 2: Know about him since he's gotten into not office but
Speaker 2: whatever it's.
Speaker 3: Called, is uh taking money's chair.
Speaker 2: Couldn't using the booster seat? Is that he couldn't. He
Speaker 2: couldn't get the pen to work, and he's sick. And
Speaker 2: that's it. That's all we've gotten from it. And it's
Speaker 2: I guess before it was like the comments about his
Speaker 2: grandson's skin.
Speaker 3: Right yeah, yeah, And when you actually like see the
Speaker 3: stuff that he writes and like thinks it's pretty amazing,
Speaker 3: it's where it's worth a look. There's a great New
Speaker 3: Yorker profile like a couple of years back before the
Speaker 3: Queen died, where they're like, people are really worried about
Speaker 3: what's the queen dies because this guy is a capital
Speaker 3: D dipshit.
Speaker 2: Like do you think he knows what the term nepo
Speaker 2: baby is? Do you think he's aware of what that terms?
Speaker 2: He's like bloody, they're calling me a neo baby.
Speaker 3: Bloody calling me nepo. I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 1: I haven't nursed since.
Speaker 3: I was nineteen. Is no nipple baby, I'm a nipple man. Yeah, no,
Speaker 3: it's nepo.
Speaker 2: Oh I stand by it.
Speaker 3: Yes, we have British accents. They're pronounced the same.
Speaker 1: I am that.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, my son went for a British accent
Speaker 3: and like my six year old son went for a
Speaker 3: British accent, and like his school performance yesterday, it was wild.
Speaker 3: He I mean he kind of pulled it off.
Speaker 1: Oh but fuck it, where's he?
Speaker 3: Where's he getting?
Speaker 1: Like where'd he get his reps?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: What's he watching again?
Speaker 3: They were doing a song from Matilda and everyone was like,
Speaker 3: my mommy says, I'm a miracle. And then it came
Speaker 3: to like they were passing the microphone and came to
Speaker 3: and he was My daddy says, he.
Speaker 1: Like a fucking cocky worker.
Speaker 3: But he's been asking me like what isn't that how
Speaker 3: they say water?
Speaker 1: Dad?
Speaker 3: And I thought he has a friend whose parents are British,
Speaker 3: so he like speaks with like a British accent. I
Speaker 3: thought he was just like doing it that way, but
Speaker 3: he was really like no pronounced like this wood wood.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm tired of him coming up to you and
Speaker 2: going hello, pop it hello, Hello Hello.
Speaker 1: That's the only line I think I know from Pirates
Speaker 1: of the Caribbean. That's what that's from, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Hell, he's saying like hello, poppet when he opens the
Speaker 2: closet and finds what your face?
Speaker 1: That's that says a lot about that movie franchise. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I think that's the only thing they say in that movie.
Speaker 1: I thought that first one was a good time at
Speaker 1: the films.
Speaker 2: Shanghai, Disney. Pirates of the Caribbean ride the best fucking ride.
Speaker 2: They're incredible. They've completely done it in a different way.
Speaker 2: And then we also went to like a stunt show
Speaker 2: that was not many stunts, but the ride was amazing.
Speaker 1: So like a Pirates of the Wait, what's so different
Speaker 1: about the Pirates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 2: Right, you feel like you're in the movie they have
Speaker 2: like I don't want to give a ton away, but
Speaker 2: there's like there's giant ships and you're in a boat
Speaker 2: and like you like the projected faces and fights and
Speaker 2: ever it's just insane.
Speaker 1: Oh, because like, yeah, and the American ones, like the
Speaker 1: size of the pirate ships leave a little bit, you know.
Speaker 2: To know this is like I'm in the movie and
Speaker 2: they're fighting in front of me, and I'm feeling like
Speaker 2: like I can see them above me and stuff.
Speaker 7: It's right, you gotta break down the boxes legs.
Speaker 3: Or legos, isn't it?
Speaker 1: What the fuck? What happened to you? Harry Caine? And
Speaker 1: it mate?
Speaker 3: You're six all right? But speaking of accents that kind
Speaker 3: of sound British, there's a there's an Australia. Australia's richest woman,
Speaker 3: Gina Ryan Hart made her money fucking the earth via
Speaker 3: a mining company, a many mining cause she's a mining
Speaker 3: company maker is actually technically yes, well mining company. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And now we know who she is because of a
Speaker 3: portrait portrait.
Speaker 1: I think Australians are probably familiar with gena Ryan Hartigang
Speaker 1: because he's Australia's richest human being. But this is the thing.
Speaker 1: Art is such a wonderful thing because it allows us
Speaker 1: to express ourselves in multitude of ways that go beyond
Speaker 1: our spoken word. And it's also a really effective way
Speaker 1: to piss off these thin skinned billionaires because yes, like
Speaker 1: you said, she's you know, she's made billions just extracting
Speaker 1: shit from the earth and destroying nature and things like that,
Speaker 1: and you know, funding climate denial, just the usual things
Speaker 1: you would do as someone who is running a mining company.
Speaker 1: But she's big mad that a First Nations artist has
Speaker 1: painted her as part of a series he made to
Speaker 1: emphasize the powerful and influential people that have affected Australia,
Speaker 1: both positively and negatively. And she is really mad that
Speaker 1: her satirical portrait is up in a gallery that she
Speaker 1: gives money to, and has approached the galleries director not
Speaker 1: just by herself personally and directly also through her company's
Speaker 1: intermediaries to have the fucking thing taken down. Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: put the picture there for everyone to see.
Speaker 2: It looks like that botched restoration of the Jesus Fresco.
Speaker 3: Oh it does, but it's all smudged and it looked
Speaker 3: like a sloth or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, love it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she does not like this picture at all. That
Speaker 1: was painted by Vincent Namatjira. And again she takes issue.
Speaker 1: I guess she didn't say specifically. People are pointing out
Speaker 1: it's like maybe it's the double chin that seems to
Speaker 1: be at odds here, and she said that by not
Speaker 1: you know, the gallery, by for them to not acknowledge
Speaker 1: her wishes.
Speaker 8: Is quote doing the bidding of the Chinese Communist Party,
Speaker 8: thank you, by showing her in an unflattering light. It's like,
Speaker 8: what the fuck are you talking about again? Like you
Speaker 8: said up top, huge mag huge magafan, like it was
Speaker 8: there like when Trump kicked off his like campaign and shit,
Speaker 8: but yeah, like it's I think it's important to hear,
Speaker 8: like what the the artist Vincent Namajira said, quote, People
Speaker 8: don't have to like my paintings, but I hope they
Speaker 8: take the time to look and think, why has this
Speaker 8: aboriginal bloke painted these powerful people?
Speaker 1: What? What is he trying to say? Some people might
Speaker 1: not like it, other people might find it funny, but
Speaker 1: I hope people look beneath the surface and see the serious.
Speaker 2: Side to what is he trying to say?
Speaker 3: Ug l y because you're so ugly? Yeah, that's that's
Speaker 3: where that's at.
Speaker 1: But I just love she's even like apparently she funds
Speaker 1: a lot of like swimming, like elite swimmers, and even
Speaker 1: swimmers have come out who are I guess, like on
Speaker 1: the dole or you know, who are beneficiaries of her
Speaker 1: money and or like they should really take the painting down, like.
Speaker 3: She's like leaning on everyone.
Speaker 1: Yeah she doesn't look like that.
Speaker 2: Guys, my alarm clock didn't go off this morning. It
Speaker 2: was doing the bidding of the Chinese Communist Party. I
Speaker 2: don't know why. I just love that as an excuse
Speaker 2: for everything.
Speaker 1: It's so weird, it's just so well, just one of
Speaker 1: those things that it's clearly built for, like an audience
Speaker 1: who's just used to hearing the phrase Chinese concret. Yeah, bad, bad.
Speaker 3: I don't know what. I don't know what they mean.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it even has any relevance contextually.
Speaker 3: But you don't want to be doing the bidding.
Speaker 1: Of the Chinese Communist Party.
Speaker 3: But this should be the primary thing that people are
Speaker 3: using art for at this point, like it's maybe the
Speaker 3: biggest problem facing our world, Like obviously climate change in
Speaker 3: war are the big obvious problems facing our world, but
Speaker 3: those might mainly exist at this point because billionaires exist
Speaker 3: and you know, control so much. So it feels like
Speaker 3: this should just be all art is doing is fucking
Speaker 3: ridiculing and humiliating these fucking people until they like don't
Speaker 3: feel comfortable showing their face in public, or are are
Speaker 3: willing to accept that everybody's going to fucking hate them
Speaker 3: until things change. But instead it feels like because they're
Speaker 3: able to exert their influence with their billions of dollars,
Speaker 3: that it's not what we get usually. So this is
Speaker 3: I feel like important, Like I'm I'm glad that this
Speaker 3: person made this hard.
Speaker 1: Yeah for so long too. Like the most powerful people
Speaker 1: in our world are actually like pretty obscure characters that
Speaker 1: we don't really have trouble defining. Like if you said
Speaker 1: Darren Woods, people will be like, is that like a
Speaker 1: DJ or something like, No, that's this that's the CEO
Speaker 1: of Exxon Mobile, you know what I mean? Or like,
Speaker 1: who is what about Gregory J. Hayes?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Is he a fucking retired baseball player? No, he's the
Speaker 1: CEO of fucking Raytheon.
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 1: You know like really yeah, yeah, Willie Mays Hayes, greg
Speaker 1: Like this person sounds pretty alright to me.
Speaker 3: It seems cool. Hey Gregy J.
Speaker 1: Hayes. No, he runs fucking Raytheon. But I mean, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: this having more. I mean I think obviously the like
Speaker 1: this is one part of it. But you can tell
Speaker 1: there's one thing that people that you know, build their
Speaker 1: entire empires of pain off of exploiting people and like death.
Speaker 1: They they really hate when people go. And that person
Speaker 1: is the one that makes all the decisions over there,
Speaker 1: because for a while it just wasn't part of like,
Speaker 1: you know, our consciousness to really be like to be
Speaker 1: able to properly define who we're trying to put pressure on.
Speaker 1: But yeah, we'll see. I mean, i'd imagine these other
Speaker 1: people just be like, yeah, we'll just we'll just have them.
Speaker 1: We'll just sue them out into oblivion or something.
Speaker 2: But this is why I love when people like yell
Speaker 2: at celebrities and politicians in public when they're having dinner.
Speaker 2: I'm like, they shouldn't fucking.
Speaker 1: Rest in public.
Speaker 2: Keep doing this. I get like a rush of endorphins
Speaker 2: every time I see someone like actually be told no,
Speaker 2: you suck, because you know, those people are not getting
Speaker 2: that any any other capacity. Like everything around them is like,
Speaker 2: it's good that you're bobbing children.
Speaker 3: Keep going, we leave politics out of this. I'm trying
Speaker 3: to have dinner right now. Can we leave.
Speaker 1: Politics out of thing?
Speaker 3: That where I'm changing how you're able to practice bodily
Speaker 3: autonomy via politics.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they're just trying to look there's just trying
Speaker 1: to have a stake like everybody else, while you know,
Speaker 1: being the cause of all of the world's ills.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't think you guys deserve.
Speaker 1: To have a bit of peace when you eat either.
Speaker 1: But yeah, anyway made Yeah, long made the satirical portrait
Speaker 1: like long Mate Live and last in that gallery. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I do think that this is great for celebrities to
Speaker 2: have this happen, But I don't think my self confidence
Speaker 2: could withstand a caricature at an amusement park or anything
Speaker 2: like that. I always walk past it. I'm like, this
Speaker 2: would be fun, and then I'd be like, bitch, you
Speaker 2: would be crying like after.
Speaker 1: I'm always surprised. You see those videos too. I see
Speaker 1: him on the internet all the time where someone's like
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, and then like all of you are
Speaker 1: like even putting on like a good face about it.
Speaker 1: I feel I'll be like my.
Speaker 3: Ears, just like fighting them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I start like flipping.
Speaker 2: Their That happened to Kendrick. He would drop another disk track,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So like Jimmy in Central Park,
Speaker 2: would be fucked up.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and it wouldn't be in that moment, like
Speaker 1: maybe a week later explained to be jumped and then yeah,
Speaker 1: like fucking watch it. Watch that band, homie, But yeah,
Speaker 1: do Darren Woods next, Kendrick do Darren Woods the Exxon Mobile.
Speaker 1: Where I think their current strategy is to is to
Speaker 1: sue investors to get them.
Speaker 3: To shut up about climate change. All right, let's take
Speaker 3: a quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back,
Speaker 3: And I feel like this is helpful context on why
Speaker 3: we might be facing a TikTok band in the near future.
Speaker 3: So France has declared a state of emergency in New Caledonia,
Speaker 3: the Pacific Islands territory that it colonized in the nineteenth
Speaker 3: century and still refuses to allow. They let vote happen
Speaker 3: on independence during the pandemic at a time when the
Speaker 3: people of Caldonga were asking for it to be delayed.
Speaker 3: They were like, nope, and vote's done.
Speaker 1: We won. You guys apparently fucking love our shit.
Speaker 3: So they and then they change the rules so that
Speaker 3: anybody who moved there in the last ten years can
Speaker 3: still vote in elections, which will make it possible for
Speaker 3: it will basically dilute the vote of people, you know,
Speaker 3: the indigenous population on the island, and so there's a
Speaker 3: lot of unrest around that. The French are deploying the
Speaker 3: French army to quell protests that oppose the new rule,
Speaker 3: and they're also banning TikTok on the island.
Speaker 1: I think they're The version they're saying is like, well,
Speaker 1: it's because it's like, it's just they're they're making people,
Speaker 1: it's making people violent, and it's and it's like a
Speaker 1: lot of hatred and and I'm sure that's true if
Speaker 1: you're looking on like the press or colonizer end of it.
Speaker 1: But I wonder too, because it's such an easy way
Speaker 1: to disseminate video or distribute video and have people see
Speaker 1: what's happening exactly pretty clearly. Maybe that could be I
Speaker 1: don't know, that's that's just a hunch. Or maybe they're
Speaker 1: just doing the bidding of the Chinese Communist Party. I
Speaker 1: don't Yeah, they're.
Speaker 2: Probably doing the bidding of the Chinese Communist Party. I
Speaker 2: think it's funny that they're like, no, these people are French,
Speaker 2: which means we can easily quell their protesting. Have you
Speaker 2: seen French programs right right, yeah, there French, your fucked
Speaker 2: frand yeah, and they're not.
Speaker 1: I mean that's the whole thing. It's a colony. And
Speaker 1: like for these people, they're like we should have the
Speaker 1: ability to have, you know, self determination. Maybe that's a thing,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it seems like every time, you know, I
Speaker 1: think the last time there was a vote on a
Speaker 1: referendum that Kannak people, the indigenous population, there was like
Speaker 1: we need time to like culturally, like there needs to
Speaker 1: be a moment for us to be able to grieve
Speaker 1: the people that have died in COVID, Like, do not
Speaker 1: set this vote for this time because it's it just
Speaker 1: sort of it runs a foul of like what our
Speaker 1: own traditions are and like we're doing it anyway. And
Speaker 1: when those people boycotted it and there was only forty
Speaker 1: percent turnout, you know, mccron was like, you see that,
Speaker 1: everybody loves it.
Speaker 3: Everybody loves French. So there's your answer, there's your answer,
Speaker 3: and there of TikTok, but yeah, it's it's it's very wide.
Speaker 3: And also nickel reserves too. There's a lot of nickel there,
Speaker 3: which yeah.
Speaker 2: That's always the reason always I love old Caledonia. You
Speaker 2: know what I mean, where they have to be themselves.
Speaker 3: That's right, those are the days guessing.
Speaker 2: I don't know anything.
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk John Krasinski, you know I refuse.
Speaker 3: All right, never mind, let's not talk.
Speaker 2: So bad we're like bad news, right. Didn't you do
Speaker 2: the good news?
Speaker 1: Yep? And then like flogged it for I think millions,
Speaker 1: didn't it?
Speaker 3: Like right, it for like one hundred million dollars and
Speaker 3: then you know, during the streaming boom, and then I
Speaker 3: don't think anything ever happened with guys.
Speaker 2: What about happy? Have you thought about that?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: But what if we tried to be happy? I don't know,
Speaker 3: just the thought during the pact.
Speaker 2: Direct competition to TDC.
Speaker 1: I know. That's why that's the main reason we're mad
Speaker 1: over here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was during the pandemic. But I
Speaker 2: do see something that is named similarly, like popping up
Speaker 2: on Instagram sometimes. So I wonder if they just like
Speaker 2: turn it into a social media thing or right, I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think because he sold it to Viacom
Speaker 1: or something right after it was like surprisingly little time,
Speaker 1: they're like.
Speaker 3: Yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll buy that, We'll buy that
Speaker 3: we'll buy that. It was like a YouTube video, that
Speaker 3: YouTube channel that had like five videos and they're like
Speaker 3: one hundred million? Will that do for the media?
Speaker 1: Wait?
Speaker 3: Do you know? Was that was that?
Speaker 1: The final SELP was one hundred million? Let me say
Speaker 1: good news? Yeah, I can't I can't find a number. Wow,
Speaker 1: it must be a lot for Everything's like it was
Speaker 1: a lot of money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like that was my good news.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well good news for me rich. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just flipped that thing. I did just to kind
Speaker 1: of because I was bored in the panda.
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, it's got to be somewhere, what the fuck anyways. Yeah, So,
Speaker 3: in addition to giving people the brilliant idea of like
Speaker 3: just look at happy stuff, what the fuck? Like, just
Speaker 3: let's just be happy. I'm rich. Why would you guys
Speaker 3: be sad I'm rich, the big new movie hitting theaters
Speaker 3: this weekend is If, which feels like the closest thing
Speaker 3: he's done to the good News thing, where because the
Speaker 3: good News thing was all like I'm just like a
Speaker 3: fun dad and like this is our family and we're
Speaker 3: just at home and being like yeah, and so this
Speaker 3: one is like a whimsical children's film about Imaginary Friends.
Speaker 3: That's what the IF stands for, like imaginary Friends, and
Speaker 3: the trailer like mentions that like it's clever, it's the
Speaker 3: movie looks like shit to me. It's expected to make
Speaker 3: like between thirty five to forty five million dollars this weekend.
Speaker 3: It's getting bad reviews, which I was relieved by because
Speaker 3: I don't know, just looking back on his choices that
Speaker 3: he's made throughout his career, it's hard not to come
Speaker 3: to the conclusion that his whole career was some kind
Speaker 3: of like Cia siop, Like his first one of the
Speaker 3: Imaginary Friends is just Ronald Reagan. Yeah, is Alie North.
Speaker 3: You're like what, Yeah, so he's just like the affable,
Speaker 3: you know, Jim from the office. And then his first
Speaker 3: like big non office role was Jack Silva in Michael
Speaker 3: Bay's ben Ghazi movie Thirteen Hours, right, right, yeah, the
Speaker 3: ben Ghazi movie.
Speaker 1: Like just and then when they're like, isn't that a
Speaker 1: little political, Chris, He's like, no, yeah, you being you
Speaker 1: saying it's political.
Speaker 3: It is the only thing that's political about it. This
Speaker 3: is just about people, just about some soldiers doing their
Speaker 3: doing their duty.
Speaker 1: And it's a right wing talking point to you know,
Speaker 1: just discredit Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, It's got nothing to with politics. Man,
Speaker 3: just came out an election here, who knows, who knows?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was, you know, the main rallying point that
Speaker 3: people knew about against Hillary Clinton heading into the election,
Speaker 3: and they made a big budget Hollywood movie about it.
Speaker 3: The movie's publicity push included sponsored content from the National
Speaker 3: Reviews publisher, a TV ad that aired on Fox News
Speaker 3: after Obama State of the Union address. There was like
Speaker 3: some of the content, an exclusive interview with the film's
Speaker 3: lead John Krasinski for the conservative townhall dot com hellya,
Speaker 3: hell yeah, hell yah. And it premiered not in a
Speaker 3: movie theater, but at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium, along with
Speaker 3: a performance from patriotic rock band Madison Rising Jesus Christ
Speaker 3: by name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh Madison Rising. I know were from Utah.
Speaker 3: I know Lever Tiktoks, a band that later saying about
Speaker 3: how Obama was the anti Christ and released a song
Speaker 3: deploring left wing violence the day after Charlottesville.
Speaker 1: They were like, they're political political.
Speaker 3: We just know our audience.
Speaker 1: We just know our audience. That's really what it is.
Speaker 1: That's all it is.
Speaker 2: That's just I'm so tired of white guys, just like
Speaker 2: coasting on silence. I'm so tired.
Speaker 3: Right, we're good.
Speaker 1: This is like the same route, you know, Chris Pratt took,
Speaker 1: you know, like lovable Andy on parks and rec and
Speaker 1: then slowly it was like, I'm Christian and I love
Speaker 1: not acknowledging my wife.
Speaker 2: That's actually what Chris stands for Christian Pratt, did you know?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know that. Lover of Christ.
Speaker 3: Isn't that what christian?
Speaker 2: Also what Krasinski, it's Christian Ski.
Speaker 1: Yes, Christian ski dot com. Yeah, where Christians go to
Speaker 1: find out the best ski.
Speaker 2: Spots exactly.
Speaker 3: For only Christians. If you're saying, yeah, right, no, I
Speaker 3: don't know any other religions, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I saw Hindu take this ski lift the other day.
Speaker 1: It really fucked me up, gross, you know about snow huh?
Speaker 3: And like so just this this seems to be as
Speaker 3: basically he's like this portrays himself as lovable, a political
Speaker 3: nice guy who routinely takes jobs in blatant right wing propaganda.
Speaker 3: And then there's like the more subtle stuff that we'll
Speaker 3: also talk about, like the good news coming at a
Speaker 3: time where like things were very politically heated, and he's like, guys,
Speaker 3: just what about this? This is just fun. It's just
Speaker 3: like fun stuff that we can all just agree to
Speaker 3: kind of laugh about and forget about the world's troubles.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know, but he John Kinsinski
Speaker 2: actually played the Pepsi can in the Kendall Jenner Pepsi
Speaker 2: Can commercial Where.
Speaker 1: She Can that's work. He disappears into that role. Yeah.
Speaker 2: He was all about bringing the cops together with very
Speaker 2: rich white people.
Speaker 3: He also designed the thin blue line logo. Oh wow.
Speaker 2: He voices it in the new movie. He voices the
Speaker 2: thin blue lines.
Speaker 3: Friends, the thin blue line? What is it?
Speaker 1: Thin blue?
Speaker 2: I'm just hate when people say I'm political.
Speaker 1: But anyway, those guys were asking for it. The cops
Speaker 1: are just doing their jobs keep the streets safe.
Speaker 2: What do you know that The Daily Wire is about
Speaker 2: to take this whole bit and make it into a
Speaker 2: movie that bombs at the box somehow.
Speaker 3: Yeh, yeah Blue.
Speaker 1: They're just going to do copaganda where Blue is just
Speaker 1: a cop or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah Blue. So after thirteen hours, he landed a job
Speaker 3: playing Jack, another conservative hero named Jack Ryan.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, wait, sorry, can we go back to that
Speaker 2: quote where on thirteen Hours he was saying, the truth
Speaker 2: is we should all be proud out of these guys.
Speaker 2: And the moment you politicize it, the more you're moving
Speaker 2: to us toward a world that I don't want to
Speaker 2: be living in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a world where.
Speaker 2: People want to score political points at all costs. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: but that is such a white American thing to be,
Speaker 2: like people should be proud of the military. That's not
Speaker 2: how the fuck people actually feel. Like the fact that
Speaker 2: we have to sit there and like applaud them, no,
Speaker 2: like I'm brown, Like these bitches are killing my cousins,
Speaker 2: Like what are you talking about that?
Speaker 1: No, the second we vilify them and create more consciousness
Speaker 1: around what these people actually do, that's just not a
Speaker 1: world I want to live in.
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, equitable, No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: It's crazy to take for granted that people would revere
Speaker 2: people who kill other people. And I'm not saying everybody
Speaker 2: in the military does or that we know what they do.
Speaker 2: But like I'm and also I'm not saying I understand
Speaker 2: how people get into the military. I know there's like
Speaker 2: a number of different reasons that people do it or
Speaker 2: have to do it or feel obligated to do it,
Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about. But to assume that we
Speaker 2: all have to stand up and applaud them and be
Speaker 2: proud and proud of it is like such a white
Speaker 2: American male like view, like it's crazy.
Speaker 3: Well if you don't do that, I'm gonna just fucking
Speaker 3: kill myself. Basically how the.
Speaker 2: Quote is comes up when news it's a suicide note.
Speaker 3: That's just I don't want to live in that world.
Speaker 3: If you or like if you don't like like military.
Speaker 1: Movie, like what, I'll just go forever due you want,
Speaker 1: because honestly, like you're just doing the bidding of the
Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party.
Speaker 3: Thank you. So next he takes a the role of
Speaker 3: Jack Ryan in a CIA commercial Amazon Jack Ryan Tom
Speaker 3: Clancy show that like if you need any proof that
Speaker 3: this show was just a CIA commercial, Like there's so
Speaker 3: many interviews. In one interview, he said the CIA is
Speaker 3: something that we should all not only cherish but be
Speaker 3: saying thank you everything, and then bragged that he totally
Speaker 3: nerded when he got to visit the CIA. I love
Speaker 3: people being like I'm just a big old geek for
Speaker 3: the CIA.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know, guys, I know it's lame.
Speaker 3: I just I don't know, there's something about me and
Speaker 3: call me a dork, but I like to just like
Speaker 3: imagine the CIA like finding cool ways to murder left
Speaker 3: wing politicians in South central Ay.
Speaker 2: And overthrow of the regime. You know, I just about it.
Speaker 1: My wife is such a nerdy spying on your own people, Like,
Speaker 1: it's just I just like to nerd out on stuff
Speaker 1: like that. That's just like so cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been watching a lot of really terrible reality
Speaker 2: show and I'm not going to say on which streaming service,
Speaker 2: but it's not It's like it's not it's not a
Speaker 2: streaming service known for academia, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I know, but I just it's one of the streaming
Speaker 2: services that has content that allows me to be as
Speaker 2: meditative as Miles is when folding laundry. And I have
Speaker 2: been getting so many army recruiting ads on this streaming service,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, they're they're trying to recruit dumb asses.
Speaker 2: They're trying to recruit me, Like they're trying to recruit
Speaker 2: dumb people who like are watching these like not hard
Speaker 2: to think about shows and like the people in the
Speaker 2: ads are also like barely able to read the lines,
Speaker 2: like it is crazy wow. How I'm like, this is
Speaker 2: like watching how the propaganda works is like wild.
Speaker 1: I've noticed too, they've definitely upped the ante with how
Speaker 1: action movie ish like the ads have become, because before
Speaker 1: used to see dudes like not shooting guns, but like
Speaker 1: walking around. They're like, oh, man, put your night vision on. Man,
Speaker 1: it's like the video game. Now there's like full on
Speaker 1: gun battles that like I'm seeing and I'm like whoa wow.
Speaker 2: And they're also making them like diversity higher things. They're like,
Speaker 2: let's put all the people of color in the tokens
Speaker 2: up front, and then we'll feel good about killing all
Speaker 2: the other people.
Speaker 3: You know. I'm so glad you brought that up because
Speaker 3: John Krazinski also brought up that the CIA is a
Speaker 3: very diverse, fun place that and this is amazing. I like,
Speaker 3: this is a new level that I feel like couldn't
Speaker 3: have possibly come from his brain, Like it has to
Speaker 3: have come from like a CIA talking point. The CIA,
Speaker 3: he claimed, is totally a political there's no politics being discussed.
Speaker 2: You're discussing because you're just doing the bidding of the
Speaker 2: Chinese Communist part you're not even talking about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no politics involved because everyone's on the same
Speaker 1: page American imperialism.
Speaker 3: It's like yeah, yeah, yeah, how do we protect this?
Speaker 1: How do we yere? Like, Okay, the.
Speaker 3: CIA doesn't choose, doesn't pick sides, they don't have.
Speaker 2: A You can't say it's diverse and then be like
Speaker 2: there's no diversity of thought, no discussions being.
Speaker 1: Had, right was like with someone there being like, what
Speaker 1: if we don't, you know, launch a coup against Guatemala?
Speaker 1: How about like was there anyone there on that, like
Speaker 1: on that side of the argument that the CIA in
Speaker 1: the fifties or like no.
Speaker 3: As for the content of the show, the show's Muslim
Speaker 3: characters consisted of quote desperate refugees and irrational evildoers, terrorists,
Speaker 3: rapist terrorists, child molestered.
Speaker 1: Terrorists, and child terrorists.
Speaker 3: That was season one of The Jack Ryan Show and
Speaker 3: season two was all about like a CIA backed regime
Speaker 3: change in Venezuela, and it was it came out like
Speaker 3: at a time that the Trump administration was discussing that
Speaker 3: it was some people were like, is this just like
Speaker 3: a are they floating this like weather ballooning the invasion
Speaker 3: to see like how it does on on this Amazon
Speaker 3: Prime series.
Speaker 2: It's like Law and Order SVU, like covering like real
Speaker 2: things in the real world, but it's like they're just
Speaker 2: dropping propaganda, like right, right, let's focus group test this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see we're at with this.
Speaker 3: There's a disclaimer at the end of each episode saying
Speaker 3: the CIA has not approved or endorsed the show, which
Speaker 3: is like just a lie. They had to like film
Speaker 3: at the actual CIA headquarters and to do that, they
Speaker 3: had to submit their scripts for approval. Wait really, yeah,
Speaker 3: so they just like, first of all, it's wild to
Speaker 3: even have to be like, yeah, and by the way, guys,
Speaker 3: this was not made by the CIA.
Speaker 2: Right, So I'm going to start saying that too at
Speaker 2: the end of everything I say.
Speaker 3: It turns out when that is said, it usually means
Speaker 3: it was made by the CIA because they had to
Speaker 3: submit their scripts for approval by you guessed at the CIA.
Speaker 2: What is that? What is that like very online Twitter
Speaker 2: thing that's like I'm getting a lot of questions that
Speaker 2: should be answered by my I'm not a something shirt,
Speaker 2: like I'm not a pedophile shirt?
Speaker 1: Right right? Right? Yeah, well, yeah, yeah, there's so many
Speaker 1: twitterisms like that. The thing that also reveals it is
Speaker 1: this guy's like, yeah, man, when they embraced me at
Speaker 1: the fucking headquarters. Yeah, like that they have nothing to
Speaker 1: do with it. Again, Yeah, you're shooting at Langley. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's he was not shooting. He was nerding out at Langley,
Speaker 1: just being a big old geek, and they let him
Speaker 1: shoot the heart attack gun at a antiph.
Speaker 2: What's the heart attack gun?
Speaker 3: Oh, you gotta nerd out on it.
Speaker 1: You gotta nerd out on it.
Speaker 3: The CIA like revealed I think it was in the
Speaker 3: seventies only once that there's this like battery powered gun
Speaker 3: that shot a pellet of ice with neurotoxin frozen inside
Speaker 3: of it. It would go into your skin and then
Speaker 3: melt and you would die of what appeared to be
Speaker 3: a heart attack.
Speaker 2: Wait, it's insane to me that like these superhero movies
Speaker 2: are a propaganda for the military dogments when all of
Speaker 2: the villains are from the military, into are like they
Speaker 2: would be you know what I mean, Like theo's the
Speaker 2: only people with the money and the resources to make
Speaker 2: a heart attack gun like that is crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's straight up Michael Clayton.
Speaker 1: Shit, that's wild.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I mean all of this political baggage is
Speaker 3: probably why some critics saw a Quiet Place of the
Speaker 3: right wing allegory in which the silent white majority aren't
Speaker 3: allowed to speak and are threatened by the dark others,
Speaker 3: which he was like, guys, my cia movie isn't even political.
Speaker 3: You think this one's political? Come on? But also he's
Speaker 3: a thief. A Quiet Place was suspiciously similar to a
Speaker 3: book called The Silence, which was later adapted by Netflix,
Speaker 3: and this if movie has almost the exact same premise
Speaker 3: as the two thousand and four cartoon Foster's Home for
Speaker 3: Imaginary Friends.
Speaker 2: I love Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. I thought about
Speaker 2: that immediately. I love that show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is it? Well? Should I watch that instead of this? Jonkersinski?
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, you got to watch It's got
Speaker 3: Ryan what's his name? Reynolds?
Speaker 1: One of the rights, got Ryan's got Ryan? What's his name?
Speaker 1: Got Ryan? W What is your name?
Speaker 3: Got?
Speaker 1: Watched this one?
Speaker 2: That's a good woman, man, fa No, watch Foster's Home.
Speaker 2: Your kids will love it. It's the best.
Speaker 3: Oh look this, This motherfucker looks like Grimace. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: yeah wow.
Speaker 1: It is Ryan Reynolds and.
Speaker 3: They jack him off into a uh into a milkshake cup.
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, Yeah, he doesn't like when you talk about
Speaker 2: Grimace getting jacked off? Can you fast off that that's
Speaker 2: a trigger for him.
Speaker 3: That's my bad. I should have known. Paula y what
