80
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: Warm?

81
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: Water is too warm to the scientists of a correct

82
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: oleashalves are gone and the warm is a rusty, thirsty Nah.

83
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: Can't trust those guys. Yeah, I guess that's a good point.

84
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: We're all going to be back to the womb for

85
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: a very brief period before.

86
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 4: Man like lukewarm in the ocean.

87
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: I would hope that you would give a tiny bit

88
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 2: of context Jack for bringing up the womb out of

89
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 2: absolutely nowhere, because we were talking about that off the record,

90
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: right we were.

91
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: But that might have made it into the cold open,

92
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: a very well balmy cold open.

93
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll never either doubt you again.

94
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 4: Also, to be fair, Jack brings up the womb like

95
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,239
Speaker 4: every epid. He's always yearns for the womb.

96
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: You talking about the womb again? Yeah, it's like, please stop.

97
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 3: I just want to get up explore it. It's like

98
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: this a Freudian episode, down to what makes Jack tick?

99
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: Jack tick? What's going on? Tim? How? How is everything

100
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: in New Zealand these days? Oh?

101
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 3: Man, it's a mixed bag.

102
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 2: I would describe it as we've got we've got Oh, actually,

103
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 2: do you know what's happening today is this is kind

104
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: of nerd politics stuff.

105
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: But our government is releasing the budget.

106
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 2: It hasn't happened yet, it will be in a few

107
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 2: hours from now, and all indications is that it's going

108
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: to be the grimmest ship ever. Our flavor of our

109
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: flavor of grimmer is like British flavor rather than American flavor.

110
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: So it'll be an austerity budget, but no one's allowed

111
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 2: to say the word austerity. So they basically they fired

112
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 2: like half the public sector since they came in half

113
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: the government worker.

114
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 4: I thought Land was doing better than us.

115
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 3: We I mean, we are, but that's that's a pretty

116
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: low bar.

117
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: From what I'm actually did notice the bar as they

118
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: were clearing it. They didn't see it down walked right

119
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: over there. I watch out, there's a little bump up, like, hey.

120
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 4: Be careful, you might get you can might get taken

121
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 4: off the street, and they're like, we're.

122
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 3: Fine, we're trying to catch up. It feels like at

123
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 3: the moment American they're getting ideas from you guys. They're

124
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: basically our you know, health is one of the biggest

125
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 3: problems here.

126
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: They're underfunding it to the point where they're trying to

127
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: float a whole bunch of privatization because previously we've had

128
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: a pretty good ninety percent solely public healthcare system that's

129
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: that's done pretty well. But they're like, you know, it

130
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: would be the funny thing to do taking all the

131
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: money out of there and letting our mates run it

132
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: all as a business. That would be pretty crack up.

133
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: So that's what we got.

134
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 4: This is like when Hitler figured out how to do

135
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 4: genocide from what we did to indigenous people in North America.

136
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone reading off everyone's reading off your homework book.

137
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, at the moment America, it's just.

138
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 4: A bunch of swasakas on our path that.

139
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: Does this look Does this still look like a swastika

140
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: when I like draw it turn it into a heart?

141
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: Kind of?

142
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 4: Is that Okay, it's like the ass from middle school,

143
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 4: but in a Swaska.

144
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: For Yeah, I saw an Instagram reel where gave like

145
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 2: a step by step on how turned that into a

146
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: think a Pride flag or like a Transali flag or

147
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: something like that.

148
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 3: So that's what you got to do out there. You've

149
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: got to go find that real and turn it into

150
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: real life.

151
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: We're all good enough. The water is going to be

152
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: balmy as we all die from climate change.

153
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: I do want to say that I'm sick of I'm

154
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: sick of nothing but talk. Look also what's on at

155
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: the moment in New Zealand the New Zealand International Comedy Festival.

156
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: It's been amazing. I've been to not enough shows because

157
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: I've got a three year old and a one year old.

158
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: And actually we just got COVID.

159
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 4: No like we got COVID.

160
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: The novel Coronavirus is once again novel.

161
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely had it for a while. It feels like a

162
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 2: real throwback yesteryear. It didn't have me too. I got

163
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: pretty fucked up for like a day and a half.

164
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: But my wife's been really knocked back, which is unfortunate.

165
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: But I don't know, just a reminder that they're still

166
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 2: knocking around. I was attemting to.

167
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 3: Do good news, good news, good nineteen still here.

168
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 1: Everyone's right, remember those good ideas? The global lockdown? Are

169
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: you a bad movie connoisseur like a little bit? Yeah?

170
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: Have you have you seen anything good? Because obviously you're

171
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: amazing podcast The Worst Idea of All Time, in which

172
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: you and guy watch Grown Ups two repeatedly? What are you?

173
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: Have you seen anything lately that seems challenge worthy?

174
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 3: I haven't seen anything lately.

175
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: We're taking a little bit of a break from the

176
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: sort of relentless bad movie podcast format. We're doing a

177
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 2: thing called good Times on the Worst Idea of All

178
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 2: Time Nice, where it's a it is now right now,

179
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: it's a hang and we're getting our comedian mates to

180
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 2: come on, and we're we're trying to spread some good

181
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: vibes at the moment Nice.

182
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 3: So people are looking for a respite for me.

183
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: Everything it's a you know, it's a no politics zone

184
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 2: except for like we did do a season called Kellionaire

185
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: where we plotted how to murder elon mask and some others.

186
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 3: Wow, but I would call that a political.

187
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: That's just letting us some steam. I feel it was cool.

188
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 3: It was it was with a real evolution because the

189
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 3: starter is basically just like a rift story over months,

190
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 3: and then we turned it into a game show and

191
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: got the listeners to come on and pitch us their

192
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 3: ideas shark tank style on how they would first of.

193
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,599
Speaker 2: All, get a billion with our moral code on the

194
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 2: show is billionaires they exist. Okay, I guess we're going

195
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 2: to get thrown in prison if we say you can

196
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: kill them, but trillionaires don't exist yet, so we can

197
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: say trillionaires aren't allowed to exist. Therefore, we need to

198
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: get a couple of billionaires to the trillion dollar mark

199
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 2: and then murder that and then spread the wealth. So

200
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 2: we were accepting pictures on how you get a billionaire

201
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: to a trillion and then how you would end them

202
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,599
Speaker 2: being around.

203
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: We're going to get to talk about those guys, which

204
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: is exciting also.

205
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 4: COVID, I'm sorry, Ice is at my door right now.

206
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: Of course, Pilby is the only one who gets an

207
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: All right, Tim, We're going to get to know you

208
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going

209
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: to tell the listeners a couple of the things we're

210
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: talking about. A fun one up top, there's a store

211
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: that is offering you the experience of either you could say,

212
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: like Christmas morning, or stealing from people's porches without all

213
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: the risk, which is.

214
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 4: Some people's Christmas Morning exactly.

215
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: It kind of it's an enormously attractive proposition. But basically

216
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: they have a big sort of like ballpit of returned

217
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: random Amazon packages, unopened, and then you get to like

218
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: choose one. We'll talk about it. But it's both seems

219
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: like the end of the world and also I'm like,

220
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: I want to do that, Like I could see that

221
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: catching on. That's pretty fun. What the great uncanceling has begun.

222
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: Kevin Spacey, he got the Award for Excellence in Film

223
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: and Television by the Better World Fund. Better at a.

224
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 3: Galling come just gonna do a little giggling this Better World.

225
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: And then there's also a writer of Last Man Standing

226
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: who kind of got uncanceled by the Writers Guild after

227
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: doing some awful shit. We'll talk about Trump quietly killing

228
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: the COVID booster for most Americans, and we'll talk about both.

229
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Is his favorite book series,

230
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: this sci fi future book series called the Culture Series.

231
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: It's like ten ten books. Ian m banks and it

232
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: is like full blown socialist propaganda, and somehow they've missed

233
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: the point of it or misinterpreted. So we'll talk about

234
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: all of that plenty more. But first tim we do

235
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: like to ask our guests, what is something from your

236
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 1: search history that's revealing about who you are?

237
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 4: It's not Better World Fund.

238
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: Oh okay, you want my second most recent sion, I'm

239
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 2: just on their LinkedIn now. It was a few days ago.

240
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: I had to google how to change water level on toilet, which.

241
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 3: Is an interesting thing to open up for a couple

242
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 3: of reasons.

243
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: Number one, because I don't know how to do any

244
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: di y round the house stuff, so this is this

245
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: is a brand new area. I've never never tried my

246
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 2: hand in any form of plumbing before.

247
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: To just always assume toilets had like a natural water level.

248
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: Something.

249
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 4: You also haven't played Mario ever, because that ever.

250
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 3: I have played Mario.

251
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 2: That was highly instructive when I was learning how to

252
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 2: drive a car, and I have found out.

253
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: To mis committede vehicular man's letter multiple times.

254
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 3: I can't leave the house without two bananas and one tour.

255
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: But there's a whole bunch of stuff inside of the system.

256
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 3: And that determines the water level. But in America, you guys,

257
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 3: I think kind of universally around the whole country. From

258
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 3: what I've seen, I've been around both coasts. I think

259
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 3: I've been to Portland, Oregon a few times. I've been

260
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 3: to Kentucky.

261
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 4: Okay, that's better than I can do.

262
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: The water level and your toilets is so high everywhere,

263
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: it's like right up to it.

264
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 4: Well is yours super low? Like American We're like, we

265
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 4: have the most ship water in the world.

266
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: You want it.

267
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 3: There's like a greened yost nature to your water levels.

268
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: To go into an ostentatious amount of water exactly.

269
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 4: Everything's bigger in the US, including our ships.

270
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't get you don't get the kind

271
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: of splashback risk factor that we get in my native

272
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: country of New Zealand, because there is a distance that

273
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: that pooh is diving from.

274
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: You need that toilet brush when you're to love the

275
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: tone too much.

276
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, what are you using the toilet brush for?

277
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: To clean clean the toilet, to clean the to.

278
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: So you were getting pool off your butt or something.

279
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: In in foreign toilets, you definitely need the pooh brush

280
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: a little bit more than you do in American ones

281
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: where everything's gone directly into a pool of water. And

282
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: for yourself, Jack, incredibly bad aim or really good. But yeah,

283
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: that's interesting. I hadn't really thought about that.

284
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's It was also off the back of so

285
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 2: I've kind of built a podcast studio at my house.

286
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: I converted We've got a three car garage and I

287
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: converted that into a podcast studio and it's got its

288
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 2: own toilet, and it's that one that got wrecked.

289
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 3: And I don't know for sure who wrecked the toilet,

290
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 3: but there was an incident.

291
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: And honestly, okay, it's a very it's a short list

292
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 2: of people who were recording that day.

293
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 4: So I thought all white guys just had a podcast

294
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 4: studio in their homes.

295
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: The government programs out, but I got there before the

296
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: government was paying for those.

297
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: We all get a Better World Fund award and we

298
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: are given a podcast studio in our homes just to

299
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: make sure that everybody can hear what we have to say.

300
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: Which, by the way, the Better World first of all

301
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: their website Better World dot fund red flag to me

302
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: and I'm on there, I'm on the LinkedIn. This whole

303
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: thing looks very sus I'm seeing like the logo was

304
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: giving fiver and there's a lot of AI looking videos

305
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 2: to me. There's one shot of Leonardo DiCaprio on their

306
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: website on the homepage, which I think they're doing to

307
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: sort of launder their reputation, but may in fact behaving

308
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: the opposite effect.

309
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 4: Wait, that also tracks. Yeah, that also tracks with the

310
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 4: type of people who enjoy people who dat young people.

311
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: I think Kevin's been a little twenty five year olds twenty.

312
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 4: Five year olds technically are young people.

313
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: Although twenty five is too old. It's twenty four. Is

314
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 3: that that's the last year you're allowed to be in LEO?

315
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: Twenty five is when you get your Golden Watching retirement party.

316
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 4: He shoots you, he takes you up.

317
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: Jesus, what is tim Something you think is overrated.

318
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 2: Something that I think is overright. Okay, So I'm a

319
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 2: big geek, like I love technology, and I got to

320
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 2: tell the people from my take Ivory tower, where I

321
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 2: get a very good view of everything.

322
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 3: You've got to stop buying flagship phones. This is so

323
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 3: expensive and so unnecessary, Like ninety nine point nine percent

324
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 3: of the population should be buying cheaper phones than what

325
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 3: they're getting. And this applies for like laptops and tablets

326
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 3: as well. We've sort of in a bunch of different devices,

327
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 3: we've reached peak thing.

328
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: We've reached peak phone like years ago, peak laptop years ago.

329
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: So you can either pay three thousand dollars to get

330
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 2: the best laptop on the market, or literally pay half

331
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: that amount to get like ninety five percent of that laptop.

332
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: And it's the same with phones. All the cameras. Now,

333
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: as long as you're paying like above, sort of four

334
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 2: hundred dollars US for a phone, now you're going to

335
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 2: be getting like the camera will be pretty fucking similar

336
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 2: to the one that you're paying twelve hundred dollars for.

337
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 4: You think I want ninety five percent water in my toilet?

338
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 4: Do you think I'm gonna have a ninety five percent

339
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 4: is good phone? I'm American, Okay, I want a phone

340
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 4: big enough to defend me from the mass shootings? All right?

341
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 3: What about this? What about that?

342
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 2: Save money by not buying two flagship phone, by buying

343
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 2: one flagship phone, by two mid ray phones. You can

344
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 2: put one in each breast pocket and then no matter

345
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 2: which way the shoot comes from, you protect it.

346
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: That's pretty good reasonable, but like having a disposable phone

347
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: that you just need one.

348
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 4: Now we need one to get back into the US.

349
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: So when you're talking flagship, is that like iPhones and

350
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: like Apple products essentially top of the line stuff.

351
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 3: Just don't get the like no one really should be

352
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 3: getting the top of the line stuff. And it's where

353
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 3: all the companies make all their money because the staff

354
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 3: below that, the profit margins are a lot lower.

355
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 4: They're so expensive. But also like they require such like

356
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 4: geekree to like know the difference between like what you're

357
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 4: missing and what you like want for what you're doing.

358
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 2: Fucking it's a status symbol. It's like pure status symbol.

359
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: So please invest a little bit of time in going

360
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: to therapy and sorting yourself out rather than getting fifteen

361
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 2: dollars phone.

362
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah that's you dad here?

363
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 4: Now what what a what phone do you have?

00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 3: I'd ask you not to out me like that, please.

365
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 4: Wow, I thought you were going to give me some

366
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 4: insight into like nude.

367
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 3: I'm a big nude and I got a really good

368
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 3: deal on it. So I got one of those phones

00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 3: that folds.

370
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: Oh I love.

371
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty extra, and I have just made myself

372
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 3: a pretty big hypocrite, but I'd be I'd be super

373
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 3: happy with Like, for example, if you're an Android person,

374
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 3: there's like the same song.

375

Speaker 3: Yeah great, it's cheap. Great.

377
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 4: Would you if you were a person who wanted a

378
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 4: non flagship phone, would you be alienating yourself in a

379
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 4: group chat? Would that be an Oh?

380
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the deal with I need? Because I've always

381
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 2: been an Android dude? Sorry, because I'm a I'm a nerd,

382
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 2: So what's the deal?

383
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 3: Didn't they fix that? Didn't they fix that?

384
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: Now?

385
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 4: If you're if you're the if you don't know about

386
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 4: the green bubble, you are the green bubble? Yeah?

387
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 3: I know, But didn't they fix it?

388
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: Didn't they get like probably a way to get around it.

389
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 3: They got them talking to each other.

390
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 4: Now maybe I don't know if I still enjoy that discrimination,

391
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 4: you know, I think that's.

392
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: For that's like a flex by Apple to make sure

393
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: that you don't.

394
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 2: The only people in my life who pay me out

395
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:14,720

Speaker 3: Too deep?

400
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: What's something you think is underrated? Tim?

401
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: I heard something for this by one change because it's

402
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 2: two gram So I'm gonna say underrated. Hot showers so

403
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 2: good in the womb. It's it's there's a few luxuries

404
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 2: in life that you can you can pretty much afford

405
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 2: any you know, situation as long as you've got a

406
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 2: roof over your head, and a shower is one of them.

407
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 2: Where it's just like pretty much anyone can get access

408
00:21:58,560 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 2: to a hot shower.

409
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 3: And I just rate it so highly. It's the bad.

410
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: It's so nice. You wake up, You're like fuck being

411
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 2: awake right now.

412
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 3: That sucks. That's the worst I have to go and

413
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 3: do a day. I guess I have to fucking go

414
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 3: to work now and listen to some idiot. You know

415
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 3: what I'm gonna do before then.

416
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 2: I'm gonna completely shut myself off from the rest of

417
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 2: the world, so I will see and hear nothing and

418
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 2: be in my own tiny little steam box between five

419
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 2: and fifteen minutes, depending on how my depression is going

420
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 2: that day.

421
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have a hard time getting out of that shower,

422
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 1: I really and I take please, I will wake up

423
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: early to just take a longer shower. It's yeah, it's

424
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: just so nice.

425
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's bad for power and for water and everything,

426
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: but like we've got to have a couple of things

427
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 2: left over, right, can we.

428
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: Gotta have it? We have showers?

429
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 3: Is that okay?

430
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: I think we should all agree on the one thing,

431
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: and I do think a hut hours at the top

432
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: of the list.

433
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 4: Also, after after learning about your toilet water deficiency, I'm like,

434
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 4: is it a trickle over there with your shower? Are

435
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 4: you just like a few drops? Thank God?

436
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 2: The amount of shia hases I've lived in, or as

437
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 2: we call them, flats with terrible water pressure where it is,

438
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 2: it's like getting into a room where an old man

439
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 2: is dribbling on you for seven minutes.

440
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, having good water pressure is a fucking revelation. It

441
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 3: is changing.

442
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 4: Sometimes I take showers, like in the middle of the

443
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 4: day or like mostly like at night, I'll take a

444
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 4: shower because I have like restless leg and so like

445
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 4: there will be some day nights where I cannot fall

446
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 4: asleep and I'll just like do the hot shower and

447
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 4: it's very soothing for my legs.

448
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, there more RESTful at night.

449
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 4: You're more RESTful. I'm like, calm down.

450
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 3: These seems legitimately like kind of debilitating, really annoying, super.

451
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 4: Restless leg Yeah. Yeah, that coupled with my sleep apnea

452
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 4: and severe mental illness. Listen going on, I'm unemployed.

453
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: Triple threat. I believe that's what we call a triple threat.

454
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 3: Unemployed or led, you know, layered.

455
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 4: I'm in. I contain multitudes and they're all they all

Speaker 3: Dang it, they're all covered by the icy.

458
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be

459
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: right back. And we're back, and I do just want

460
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: to say that you had sent her out along your

461
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: overrated underrated. Not all guests do this, but they really thoughtful, conscientious,

462
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: courteous ones will send along like, hey, here's what I'm

463
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: thinking about talking about in case, like somebody did it yesterday,

464
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: and so Tim sent along his and so we we

465
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:04,800

466
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 1: that climate change is still happening. And you included a

467
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: link to an article that fucked my whole morning.

468
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's fine. Was visited like every time I

469
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 3: come to the show, I complained about late stage capitalism

470
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 3: and the fact that the world's fucking burning down. So

471
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 3: maybe I'll take a different tech. But yeah, no, it's

472
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 3: a devastating article.

473
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 2: Basically a bunch of climate scientists is saying, hey, guys,

474
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 2: you know how we're definitely not going to reach the

475
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 2: was it keeping it on one point five degrees? Well,

476
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: even if we did, I think we're maybe at one

477
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: point five now. So they're saying like if somehow some

478
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 2: miracle happened and just we stayed at where we are

479
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 2: right now, which we definitely are not going to.

480
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: Now we agreed, Hey, just f yi, and we're not

481
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: signing any like binding kind thing, but just f yi,

482
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: we're going to start at one point five. All right,

483
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: everyone agrees to this and.

484
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 3: Then do the absolute best and what we're going.

485
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 4: Climate change with the same way that like Sandra Bullock's

486
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 4: character had to get through blindfold. I'm not looking at

487
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 4: it directly or I might die if we don't look

488
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:20,239
Speaker 4: at it.

489
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: It's fine, right, we could just stand named the Blindfold.

490
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: It should have been called blindfoldin fault. That is true.

491
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 2: I would have seen it if it was called blindfold.

492
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 2: I have a better idea about what it's about. But

493
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 2: I mean this is this is the global editor. Okay,

494
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 2: So we all agreed we try our very absolute business

495
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 2: for one point five We're currently at one point two

496
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 2: and we're on Trenck to get to two point nine.

497
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: Two point nine is bad.

498
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 3: It's so so bad.

499
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 2: What the climate scientist was saying in this most recent report,

500
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 2: which was like a meta analysis of a whole bunch

501
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 2: of scientific studies across a few different related fields, is

502
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 2: that even if we got to the one point five,

503
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 2: which we won't, as shit's still gonna get exceptionally ranked.

504
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: Yes, it's the it's the old the very first consequence

505
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: of climate change that I learned about via Kevin Costner's

506
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: Water World, the rising sea levels. They're like the the

507
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: melting ice caps and like Greenland and all the Antarctic

508
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: ice sheets that is like accelerating faster than a lot

509
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: of the more pessimistic models head and like we're going

510
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: like we're going to lose huge chunks of land. There's

511
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: going to be a mass migration event over the next

512
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: hundred years, just inevitably, because we're already like past the

513
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: point of like not losing that, like the sea is

514
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: going to be going up by There was one that

515
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 1: was like if we get to two point nine and

516
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,479
Speaker 1: like everything melts, the water sea levels would go up

517
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirteen feet. That's that's fucking crazy.

518
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, and all of that beast cities at the coast.

519
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, that's kind of how we built them.

520
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 4: I think this is why they kept calling us coastal elites.

521
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 4: They're just trying to wash us out of there. They're

522
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 4: just floods.

523
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 1: People live less than one meter above sea level, and

524
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: we're we're talking many many meters rise in sea level,

525
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: so we're.

526
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 4: All going to be in a Jack and Rose situation imminently,

527
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 4: or like.

528
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 3: I think they're going to do the atmosphere engineering where

529
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 3: they punch a whole bunch of like heavy meadows into

530
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 3: the atmosphere to block the sun.

531
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, we're going to sea from what I understand, yes, probably, yeah.

532
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 4: I mean I was talking to like civil engineers at

533
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 4: one of my dad's conferences, and they're like talking about

534
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 4: building man made islands. But I'm like, that's for rich people, Like.

535
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, that's are also the islands in space?

536
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 4: Where are the unhoused people going to be on these

537
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 4: man made of asking?

538
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 3: That question is no, that's just.

539
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 4: Water world, like the water gang. Can we call dips

540
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 4: on that now?

541
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,239
Speaker 1: Like it this article? I was it's just everything's going

542
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: to be shrinking with the same number or more people.

543
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: Excuse everything everything shrinking. Everything shrinking, So in some ways

544
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: another silver lining, things that used to be considered small

545
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: might look bigger. Second, it might be average.

546
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 4: Now people should appreciate that.

547
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: It's literally Fortnite, though, Isn't this what the game Fortnite

548
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: is is like the game play area is like shrinking

549
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: as people and people are just like killing each other

550
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: to like you as the game progresses. I know that

551
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: was the premise of like pubg Player Unknown Battleground, but like,

552
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: I think that was also Fortnite that, like the whole

553
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: play area shrinks slowly so it like gets harder to

554
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: like hide.

555
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,959
Speaker 2: You mean diminishing resources and people getting wiped out so

556
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 2: that people and the metal can and reach themselves.

557
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: The children are training. I think the children are training, okay,

558
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: for the.

559
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 3: Futures and the and the best way possible with guns.

560
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly.

561
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be honest, I'm gonna pass out in like

562
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 4: the first thirty minutes of this happening. I'm just going

563
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 4: just leave me and be too tired to bat.

564
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 3: Here's the here's the pitch.

565
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 2: I've been trying to like work on but for years

566
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 2: now we've been through crazy shit, Like even recently, I

567
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 2: can't imagine what it must have been like to be

568
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 2: around during World War two, you know, just like everyone

569
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 2: is dying exactly all of the time, just like family

570
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: members of yours just constantly sent off just so much death.

571
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 2: And wil War one horrible, you know, like even Spanish

572
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 2: influenza that week era.

573
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: Like we're from depression to the dust ball to World

574
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: War two. It's just like global catastrophe is just compiling.

575
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, we're we're doomed, Like if the Internet

576
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: had been around back then.

577
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 3: How I see this is not how I read that,

578
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 3: because I think that kind of dumerism is going to

579
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 3: get everyone's hands off the wheel. And the thing is

580
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 3: with climate change is that like any fraction of a

581
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 3: degree that we can avoid getting to is going to

582
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 3: be super helpful for the planets. That everyone actually does

583
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 3: need to engage with this and like really throw down.

584
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 3: And I think, like, look, is shit going to be bad?

585
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's going to be pretty fucking bad.

586
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 2: But we've done really bad ship before, We've been through

587
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 2: bad ship before, and we have we do have a

588
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 2: far bigger toolkit than we've ever had, and it feels

589
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 2: like we're a little bit getting better at dealing with

590
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 2: crises like COVID nineteen was a crazy, crazy thing, a

591
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 2: crazy time. A lot of people died, there's no doubt

592
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 2: about that. But the ability for us to like whip

593
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 2: up a vaccine in the speed that we did once

594
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 2: we said our you know, resources to it.

595
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 3: It's pretty impressive. And all of the there is a

596
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 3: whole bunch of amazing shit happening with like solar technology

597
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 3: and new battery technology that's coming out, like there is

598
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 3: I think, you know, we've fucked ourselves on the timeline

599
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 3: a little bit. We didn't act quite fast enough, and

600
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,959
Speaker 3: we're gonna have a lot of effects, but it's not

601
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 3: going to be the case that everyone's dead. It's like

602
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 3: sh It's going to change a lot. It's gonna get

603
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 3: really hard, but we can never have to deal.

604
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 4: With Okay, I believe that for you guys. But I

605
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 4: will be dead.

606
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 3: Okay, we're an island nation. We'll be underwater day.

607
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 4: You you will be surviving and floating. I'm I'm giving it.

608
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 4: I'm kidding. The human race should continue. I'm tired all right.

609
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: We should talk about This is just a I don't know,

610
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: like this is just like a snapshot of the dystopia

611
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: we live in. This is this was going viral while

612
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: a few weeks back, but it missed me. So there's

613
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: a store in the Bronx Dollar universe where you can

614
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: go and pay four dollars to pick a random Amazon

615
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: package that was like originally ordered by someone and either

616
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: returned or lost. But I think it's just all like

617
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: when when you return an Amazon package and Amazon's like, well,

618
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: we're not gonna fucking sell this, so they just like

619
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: put it in a big warehouse where then people like

620
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: bid on it. And so this store owner, industrious capitalist

621
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: that he is, goes and just buys like huge palettes

622
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: of these boxes, puts them in a pit of capitalist despair,

623
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: and then people come through and just pick a unopened

624
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: box and pay four dollars to get the experience of,

625
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: depending on how you look at it, Christmas morning as

626
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: an adult or being a porch pirate, but without the

627
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: risk of like being shot or arrested.

628
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 3: Four dollars a good price.

629
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: It's a good price, Like he nailed a price point

630
00:33:59,800 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: on it.

631
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 2: Like I would go, yeah, all of this is like

632
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 2: some pieces of shit like get a Menion dog toy

633
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 2: or something. But for four dollars, I'm willing to buy

634
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 2: that lotto ticket, you know, yeah.

635
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 4: Exactly because it could be like electronics, it could be

636
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 4: like yeah.

637
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 3: Flagship fun which if you know.

638
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 4: But it's like great that He's like, honestly, if it

639
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,720
Speaker 4: gets rid of the waist and it helps like a

640
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 4: small business owner, I think that was a great idea

641
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 4: of him, even though it is very dystopian.

642
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean it's just I don't know that

643
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: it gets rid of the wasst It just like moves

644
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: the waste around. It probably was going to be it

645
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: was probably going to be like disposed of, like incinerated

646
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: in some awful way.

647
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 4: You're right, but now it will be in like three years.

648
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: So right.

649
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 2: You'd have to think though, if if it's four dollars, right,

650
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 2: so this person is building a business around each mystery

651
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 2: out of being four dollars, it's I he's buying them

652
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 2: for two on average, he's.

653
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 1: Buying them for less than a less than two on average.

654
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: He buys four hundred items for six hundred dollars.

655
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 3: Uh, wait, where is that? If I saw the math

656
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 3: I could do it in my head.

657
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: So four hundred items that's six hundred dollars is like,

658
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: you know, less than two dollars half, Yeah, it's like

659
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: one and one and half one.

660
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's buck one fifty fifty item is buying this.

661
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: You guys were both doing the math, Like, wait, let

662
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: me check all of his math on this. She's only

663
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: a former PhD. Double check this.

664
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 2: How like that from Amazon's point of view, the men

665
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 2: maxing that, you know, determining the most efficient way to

666
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 2: get rid of stuff that has value is getting it

667
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 2: out the door at a dollar.

668
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 4: Storage buy them. But also like just I'm like afraid that,

669
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 4: like now that Amazon knows about the popularity of this,

670
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 4: they're going to do it and they're going to like

671
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 4: ruin this man's business.

672
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 3: And then yeah, they might sense to me like you

673
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 3: should on TAMO would even you spin a wheel and

674
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 3: it can give you a desk you just spent you

675
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 3: just pipe food allays, spin a wheel on they send

676
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 3: you a fucking package.

677
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: Can you get the Amazon's probably going to, yeah, get

678
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 1: get in on this where they're like, hey, well well

679
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 1: we'll get the address on one of these things. If

680
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: you yeah, well you guys are right on. First of all,

681
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: it is it is interesting, like where are these coming from?

682
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: The one that ABC, the local New York City ABC

683
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: News affiliate, was able to try. They went, got one

684
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: of the packages. It's still had This is a problem.

685
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: It's still had. The person that dress send phone number

686
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: on it.

687
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 3: It's a huge problem.

688
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: That's a bit of a problem. And he was like, what,

689
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,479
Speaker 1: I like, scratch it out in dark ink. I didn't

690
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: think you'd be able to see it. But anyways, they

691
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: reach out to the person and confirmed that it was

692
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: a this yoga mat that they got four dollars. Not

693
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 1: a bad price problem.

694
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 3: It's Amazon's problem though, right They should be not selling

695
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 3: palettes of people's.

696
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: So that so this is progressing in exactly the direction

697
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,919
Speaker 1: you would expect. Walmart actually ensures its liquidators remove all

698
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 1: information from the box. Amazon doesn't give a fun. They're

699
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: doing everything like they're moving things as fast as.

700
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 3: The Amazon is. Amazon has managed to become morally more

701
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 3: deplorable than fucking Walmot. That is a crazy rice to

702
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 3: the bottom.

703
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so when Amazon was told that this was happening,

704
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: they I think this fun experiment is going to come

705
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: to an end soon. Because Amazon said it is investigating

706
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: the matter, including adding the possibility that these products may

707
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: have been delivered to customers addresses were stolen and are

708
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: now being resold by unauthorized third parties. So they're basically

709
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: saying to this shop owner, like what we'll call the

710
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: cops on you.

711
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 2: We can't have it be fine buying them from Amazon.

712
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 2: He's buying them from a liquor stick this dude. But yeah, exactly,

713
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 2: and that like in a thing that is like fully

714
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 2: your fault, that like you're not doing the bare minimum

715
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:33,720
Speaker 2: of prejective customers hot idea, Jeff, maybe leave Katy Perry

716
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 2: at home, put the rest of them in the rocket,

717
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 2: and with the money you saved from not bringing Katy

718
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 2: Perry to you know, low Earth Orbit, you could scratch

719
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 2: out people's details on the stickers before you sell the

720
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 2: palette space.

721
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 1: Katy Perry, do that in exchange for whatever Katy Perry

722
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: to do that.

723
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 4: Maybe it'll distract her from trying to like destroy nuns

724
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 4: in court.

725
00:38:59,080 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 3: There's fascinating.

726
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 4: There's a law called Perry's Law that gives like a

727
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 4: seventy two hour hold for people over the age of

728
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 4: like seventy five probably selling their properties. Yeah, because Katy

729
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 4: Perry has multiple times fucked over old people who aren't

730
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 4: including including nuns, one of whom like died in court

731
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 4: or something, had a heart attack in court. Like she's

732
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 4: like an evil person.

733
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's in a very real way. I think in

734
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 3: California that introduced basically a specific elder abuse law named

735
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 3: it after Katy Perry because of this crazy record she's

736
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 3: got of it, would say, allegedly tricking old people into

737
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 3: selling their property for way lower the market value and

738
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 3: basically hacktoring them and to signing it away really quickly.

739
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 2: It's found out about this recently, but it's like this

740
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 2: fucking woman.

741
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 4: It's like a level of evil you can't even conceive

742
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 4: because you're like, aren't you busy singing? Like why are you?

743
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 4: Like why don't you buy a home that's available?

744
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: Hell? The super Bowl halftime show though, Karen Russell brand

745
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: I know what to do.

746
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 4: At first? Have you seen the Katy Perry documentary?

747
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: Not?

748
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 4: Okay? So she's like working super hard on tour and

749
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 4: like performing and everything, and he's like being like weird,

750
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 4: and then he tells her he wants a divorce, like

751
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 4: while she's in her chair getting her makeup or whatever

752
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 4: right before going on, and she's like silently weeping and

753
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 4: then sucks it up and does her fucking show and

754
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 4: wins you over. You're like, oh my god, Katy Perry.

755
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 4: And now she's like kicking old people. It's so bad.

756
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: She's just like the good one in that relationship.

757
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, being but also like I don't know, like.

758
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: For a pope, being a good one in a relationship

759
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: with Russell Brand.

760
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, would you rather.

761
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. And

762
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: we're back, and the great uncanceling has begun. According to

763
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: Kevin Spacey, he's feeling some momentum after he was given

764
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: the Award for Excellence in Film and Television by the

765
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: Better World Fund at a gala in con feels feels

766
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: all like a work of satire. This was again months

767
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: after news dropped that he's facing yet another lawsuit for

768
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 1: allegedly committing sexual abuse, and he was announced we are

769
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: truly privileged to welcome Kevin Spacey as our guest of

770
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: honor and honoree at the Better World Fund gala by

771
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,439
Speaker 1: the president and founder of the Better World Fund, and

772
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: he told the crowd, it's very nice to be back.

773
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 4: Ew e e e ew he.

774
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 1: Was really like, it felt like he was like and

775
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: finally like, I can put all of this behind me.

776
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: I feel surrounded by so much affection and love. I've

777
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: heard from so many of my friends and colleagues and

778
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 1: co stars in the last week since this award was announced.

779
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: It's very nice to be back. And then he went

780
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: on an unhinged rant comparing his own career consequences stemming

781
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: from multiple allegations of sexual assault to the Hollywood Blacklist

782
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: during the red Scare. What do He also cited the

783
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: case of sitcom writer Tim Doyle, who was censured by

784
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: the Writer's Guild for posting a photo of a lynching

785
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: in a writer's Facebook group during the strike. So somebody said,

786
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: happy you do that. Someone said happy one hundredth day

787
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: to all who observe as a comment to mark the

788
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: one hundredth day of the WGA strike, and he was

789
00:42:55,840 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: one of the first to comment, and his joke was,

790
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: I just got my tree up with a black and

791
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: white image featuring like a man hanging from a tree

792
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: on what appears to be a lynching. And the writer

793
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: director Keith Powell from thirty Rock, he plays two fur

794
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: from thirty Rock was like one of the admins of

795
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:20,240
Speaker 1: the group, and he immediately was like this. He described

796
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: his post as especially horrible, racist, self martyring, vile, clueless,

797
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: out of touch, boneheaded, disturbing and toxic post, and he

798
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: was censured. But I think the Writers Guild voted to

799
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: reverse their center of him on the same day that

800
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: that was actually something that Spacey said in his speech

801
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. The Writers Guilt in a vote with

802
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: all their members reversed their center of Tim. And at

803
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: the same time, Manuel invited me here to accept this award.

804
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 1: So he's like, we're starting to many people.

805
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 4: He's like pedophiles and racist. You didn't know I was one,

806
00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 4: but I am right.

807
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 3: Can you imagine if so? There was his name, Tim Doyle,

808
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 3: this writer.

809
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: Very funny, very funny joke by him.

810
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 2: You've done fucked up, You've done fucked up so bad,

811
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,399
Speaker 2: and you've done everything you can to try and sort

812
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 2: of put it behind you and get everyone to forget.

813
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 3: And Kevin Spacey takes the stage in.

814
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 4: Ceremonial I know, my brother, we did the same thing.

815
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 3: No no, no no no no no no no no no.

816
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 3: I don't want this one. I don't want defense from

817
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 3: Kevin Spacey.

818
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 1: No studio will touch him because of a joke he posted.

819
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: Is how Kevin Spacey described it, of course, not explaining

820
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: what the joke, what the joke like. Also, it's not

821
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 1: a joke, like I don't It's just seems like he

822
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: just had racism in his heart and was like, let

823
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: me just like get this out here. I'm on the

824
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: internet a lot.

825
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,879
Speaker 2: I don't even know where you sort of like get

826
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 2: one of those pictures from you know what I mean.

827
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 2: It's not like a thing that that just sort of

828
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 2: falls into your phone because someone posts it as a mame.

829
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 4: He just had it saved on his phone. It's got

830
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 4: like he's like, let me just go to my favorite album. Yeah,

831
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 4: you guys seen the Morning Show on I think it's.

832
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: Apple, Uh Jennifer Show. Yeah.

833
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 4: Yeah. So Steve Carrell plays like I think his portrayal

834
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 4: of like a dude who got canceled for inappropriate workplace

835
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 4: sal behavior. Yeah, like a Matt Lower type. It's like

836
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 4: very good. And he meets someone who is like on

837
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 4: his side and wants to do a documentary with him

838
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 4: about like people who get canceled. Spoiler alert and and

839
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 4: it's Martin Short, and Martin Short like describes even like

840
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 4: further stuff that he's done with, like like pedophilia stuff,

841
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 4: and then Steve Carrel is like because like Martin Short's like,

842
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 4: we're like the same, you.

843
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 3: Know, it's funny.

844
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, not like that. No.

845
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 3: I'm it's important for people to remember as well.

846
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 2: And I think most people like, well remember this, but

847
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 2: for my money, we should be talking about it all

848
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 2: the time because of how goddamn and sane this was.

849
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 2: Kevin Spacey got credibly accused of sexual abuse of a

850
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 2: minor to the point where it got into the courts,

851
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 2: and also sexually abusing other people, which I can't remember

852
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 2: if they were miners not.

853
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 3: I think they were.

854
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 2: They were sort of above the legal age, but sexual

855
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 2: like criminal act.

856
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 3: He was accused of multiple times.

857
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 2: Multiple people died while the cases were going through, and

858
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 2: then like I think it was maybe during the COVID lockdowns,

859
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 2: he released a video from his kitchen as as underwad

860
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 2: let me be Frank, Let me be Frank.

861
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:49,720
Speaker 4: You didn't drink Christmas.

862
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 3: The lady was camera and it was just like, what

863
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 3: the fuck are you? What is this dude?

864
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 1: Psych character? I haven't watched House of Cards, but that

865
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: it's a character who like kills people all the time

866
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: to get out of trouble.

867
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, Like the first season, the sort of character

868
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 2: defining moment is that he pushes a journalist in front

869
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 2: of the subway train who he's befriended, played.

870
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 4: By one of the Maros sisters.

871
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that is a spoiler. But I heard that

872
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: show sucks shit. So actually no one's watching.

873
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 4: Which which like I was kind of like I was

874
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,760
Speaker 4: talking to Jackies about this and we were like everyone

875
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 4: stopped watching because of him, but like after he left,

876
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 4: so we kind of like reinforced that we were watching

877
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 4: because of him, even if that's not why, you know

878
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like we kind of did it backwards.

879
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:42,959
Speaker 2: Well, they should have stopped making it, like they really

880
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 2: needed to cut their losses, but Netflix were like one

881
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 2: more season and put Robin Wright at the Helm, who

882
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 2: rolled by all accounts unfortunately.

883
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 1: You know, it is also one of those shows that historically,

884
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: it like kicked off this streaming boom that now is

885
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: destroying the entertainment industry and in Hollywood at least, so

886
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: it's really holds kind of an uncomfortable position for.

887
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:13,280
Speaker 3: A bunch of reasons.

888
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I know that multiple people died during the investigation, Like,

889
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 4: that's great. How many people died?

890
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:22,879
Speaker 3: I don't know, top of mine, but I think it's

891
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 3: it's like it's more than.

892
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: Two that what that's like a lot? Yeah, yeah, I

893
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 1: don't know that anything, like if he's ever been credibly accused.

894
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: I think just the fact that he then, like the

895
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 1: character he chose to inhabit to address the public was

896
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: a person who kills people, gets out of deals with

897
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: scandals by murdering innocent people and witnesses.

898
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 4: And he's also saying, let me be this person.

899
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 1: Let me be Yeah, exactly, I do. It is a

900
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: weird coincidence and at the very least him.

901
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, legally speaking, it is a weird incident.

902
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 4: It's also like, isn't it like a mass shooting if

903
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 4: it's like three or more people or something like or

904
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 4: four people, it's like that, but with like out of

905
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,240
Speaker 4: a specific group of people for Kevin Spacey.

906
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: Very strange. It's so crazy, very strange coincidence.

907
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 2: But listen, I don't want to callt Kevin Spacey's legal

908
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:20,280
Speaker 2: team to this fine show.

909
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: So they are big for we hear from them all

910
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:24,439
Speaker 1: the time.

911
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 4: How do we get Kevin Spacey to become a trillionaire?

912
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: So maybe all he has to do is read this

913
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: sci fi series, the culture series that is written by

914
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 1: what's this guy's name, Ian M Banks, Scottish writer. It

915
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 1: is hard sci fi where people you know, explore space.

916
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 1: People describe it sounds a lot like a combination of

917
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 1: like Star Wars and Star Trek. And I'm sure me

918
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: just generally combining those two franchises in describing another franchise

919
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 1: will not insight the anger of any sci fi fans.

920
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll be cool with me saying that.

921
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 3: But people say it's like cymously chill people. Yes, the

922
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 3: Hoti fans laid back dudes.

923
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: But so this is apparently the favorite sci fi of

924
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk. You have to assume

925
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: it has all sorts of like libertarian ideals built into it.

926
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: It is in fact written by a card carring socialist

927
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: who despised the super rich and once shredded his UK

928
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: passport and mailed it to Tony Blair during the Iraq.

929
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 4: That is amazing. Whoa this is how much they hate women?

930
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 4: They're like fuck iin Rand, We'll take whatever this guy

931
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 4: has exactly.

932
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: You have your book series. You can just see that

933
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: she thought you guys ruled. You could just read that

934
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 1: thing about the you know, people who like trains or

935
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: whatever the fuck I Ran series is. But yeah, it's

936
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: like people who read it are like, yeah, no, it's

937
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:05,320
Speaker 1: depicts a world where AI does exist, but it's used

938
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: to better people's lives and like make it so that

939
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 1: people have less like busy work to do, and the

940
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 1: actual like archetypal super villain is a billionaire capitalist and

941
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,879
Speaker 1: there's no police or crime, and society essentially rules by

942
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: cancel culture, like all these things that you would think

943
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:31,320
Speaker 1: they would be against, especially Elon Musk, who like names.

944
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 1: Elon Musk has like named his spacecraft after like spacecraft

945
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: in this book, Like he crazy open an avowed huge

946
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: fan of this book, and it just seems to represent

947
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: everything that he despises.

948
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 3: This is an ongoing theme of billionaires reading sci fi letterature,

949
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:59,799
Speaker 3: which are supposed to be this sort of informative, artistic

950
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 3: explorations of what happens if we take the idea of

951
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 3: capitalism to its natural conclusion, and we're technology is eating

952
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 3: and they go oh, yeah, cool idea. It's like, no,

953
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 3: fucking not what we were trying to say in this book.

954
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 3: What we were saying it was a bad thing. They're

955
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 3: seeing the villains and like really identifying with them and going, oh,

956
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,320
Speaker 3: that would be a cool thing to do. They missed

957
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 3: the point again and again. This is like not the

958
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 3: first sci fi series where your elons and your bezosis

959
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 3: have like glorified the worst elements of what are supposed

960
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 3: to be cautionary tales. To the rest of us. They're dumb.

961
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 4: God the sketch I probably brought up on here a

962
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 4: thousand times, and I will continue going back to is

963
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 4: Mitchell and Webbs are we the baddies? Because they will

964
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 4: never reach the point where they're like, wait a minute,

965
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 4: they never reached that point. They're just constantly like in

966
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 4: their skull uniforms being like we're doing a good job.

967
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 2: I get that's part of the pathology of being a billionaire.

968
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 2: You don't get to be a billionaire if you have

969
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 2: self awareness. If you possess self awareness, you don't get

970
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 2: to trample on as many scales as you need to

971
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 2: to accumulate that much wealth to yourself, Like it's just

972
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 2: not possible.

973
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:17,399
Speaker 3: So what we're dealing with is like.

974
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 2: A self selected group of people who are lacking like

975
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 2: not just basic humanity and decency, but any kind of

976
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 2: self awareness that the most of the rest of the

977
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 2: population possess and walk around with and give us our

978
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 2: little neuroses and that voice inside your heir going, hey,

979
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 2: maybe I shouldn't maybe this, you know, maybe this will

980
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 2: make this person feel bad, Maybe this will have negative

981
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:45,760
Speaker 2: effects for someone who isn't me. They're like demonstrably missing

982
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 2: that component of their fucking brain to get to the

983
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 2: billionaire status. That's why you've got to legislate against this stuff,

984
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 2: because if you leave these guys to their own devices,

985
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 2: this is what happens. You need infrastructure like the to

986
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 2: just go, hey, guess what your first billion, go and

987
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 2: make it.

988
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 3: But you're not like, we will.

989
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 2: Just take the rist after a billion and we'll build

990
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 2: hospitals and rides with it.

991
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 1: Something that billionaires I feel like like to say, is

992
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: like the first million or the first billion is the

993
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: hard part and then like from there. And I think

994
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: that's really true, Like I think we're overrating how difficult

995
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 1: it is to go from like being a one hundred

996
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: millionaire to a billionaire. I think just a lot of

997
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: people stop because they're like, well, I don't have anything

998
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: compelling me to keep like compounding my money in a

999
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 1: way that's just going to harm people. And so what

1000
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: we're left with is people like billionaires who are just

1001
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: the most pathologically narcissistic people out of a group of

1002
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: like five hundred, you know, one hundred millionaires, and they're

1003
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 1: like class of like super privileged, lucky people. And it's

1004
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 1: just this self selecting thing where it's like that you

1005
00:54:56,680 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: have to be broken in a very profound way to

1006
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 1: get to be a billionaire, and then we just do

1007
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: the whitewashing for them to be like and they're actually

1008
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:09,360
Speaker 1: really smart and they're the smartest Okay.

1009
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 4: It sounds like you guys just aren't hustling and grinding

1010
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 4: one day that's gonna be.

1011
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 3: Me, okay, and not just broken in a way that's interesting,

1012
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 3: but broken in a way that is always deep for

1013
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 3: me to the rest of us.

1014
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 4: And yeah, but if they just were like I'm gonna

1015
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 4: learn I'm gonna pay yoyoma to teach me violin, we'd

1016
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:33,760
Speaker 4: be like, sure, dude, whatever you know. But they're using

1017
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:35,760
Speaker 4: it to like destroy the world.

1018
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, so the the culture. In the world

1019
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 1: of the culture, people are gender fluid, So anyone can

1020
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: change gender just by thinking about it. And most people,

1021
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: why don't they do once in their lives.

1022
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 3: Hey, elon, why don't you pay attention to that part

1023
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 3: of the book and maybe folk that into your personality.

1024
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:55,720
Speaker 3: Then it's okay to express your gender however you want to. Instead,

1025
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 3: you're like honing out on the worst.

1026
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, they're yeah, they're blatantly morally incompatible with the

1027
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: existence of billionaires. That's like the person who wrote the books,

1028
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 1: he's now past, but he's like that there. It's just

1029
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: like a bunch of like hippie commie people with like

1030
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:15,879
Speaker 1: amazing technology.

1031
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,760
Speaker 2: You guys think now that this presents like a big

1032
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:23,800
Speaker 2: problem for writers, writers and other artists who are creating

1033
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 2: what is supposed to be like instructional art about sort

1034
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 2: of class consciousness. And yeah, the way that we're structuring,

1035
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:36,799
Speaker 2: you know, how we treat our wealthiest individuals. Because if

1036
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 2: I was a sci fi writer, now, this is the

1037
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,359
Speaker 2: terrain that I would want to play in. But you're like, fuck,

1038
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 2: I might accidentally be writing an instruction manual for these

1039
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 2: psychos yeah, because they don't have amazing imaginations, but they

1040
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 2: can like go and find my ideas that I'm trying

1041
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 2: to put out there to be a cautionary tail, and go, oh, yeah,

1042
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 2: we should do this. Do you actually think this might

1043
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 2: have like a shelling effect at the moment of people

1044
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,360
Speaker 2: who want to write these books and exploring these ideas,

1045
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 2: but they're two, They're going to give these ideas to

1046
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:02,360
Speaker 2: the billionaires.

1047
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 1: I mean maybe maybe it'll just like get make people

1048
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: take a harder look because like one of the things,

1049
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 1: so this is from a box article is just written

1050
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:14,919
Speaker 1: about these books and about like this fandom, and they

1051
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 1: this box article is saying, like in the end, the

1052
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 1: thing that always happens is the good guys develop a

1053
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: piece of technology and like use it in a clever

1054
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: way to like solve the problem. And so it ends

1055
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 1: up being sending the message that like more power or

1056
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: like better technology equals being right. And so in that way,

1057
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 1: like the theme of the book is the most important

1058
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 1: thing powerful people can do is use their power to

1059
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: make the world or to make like the better technology.

1060
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 1: You know.

1061
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 2: And so you got to write some sci fi books

1062
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 2: about solidarity and unionizing.

1063
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, wait, Okay, this this is this brings me

1064
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 4: to Shazam? Is that the movie?

1065
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 1: That's the movie right with Zachary Levi?

1066
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, who ironically is this crazy Trump supporting libertarians. But

1067
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 4: in Shazam spoiler alert, he like redistributes his powers and

1068
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 4: that's how they save the day. He like shares his

1069
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 4: powers with his other like brothers and sisters and they're

1070
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 4: able to save like there's no one hero at the

1071
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 4: end of it. And so that's why I always, I

1072
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 4: always like loved that movie for that reason at the end,

1073
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 4: because usually it's just like Spider Man just like thinking

1074
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 4: harder and wanting it more and then be finding the

1075
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 4: strength and it's like, no, dude, you need other people

1076
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 4: to help you. And that's like what the moral of

1077
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 4: that movie was. But Zach really I didn't.

1078
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 2: Really learn that plus this story going watch Shazam.

1079
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like Batman is the one that makes

1080
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 1: sense for billionaires like Batman like them just like a

1081
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 1: I alone can fix it mentality and like I will

1082
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: instead of investing in fixing the structural issues deep.

1083
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 2: The Batman is the right example because I've got this

1084
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 2: sneaking suspicion I've not looked into this for everyone. But

1085
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 2: I think a lot of these guys wouldn't exist if

1086
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 2: they had a good relationship with their dad. Yeah, like

1087
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, you know, respectfully, I'm thinking Joe Rogan Elon

1088
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 2: Musk's dad is a uniquely fucked up individual who.

1089
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 3: Relationship with d Yeah.

1090
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, like my suspicion is the vast bulk

1091
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 2: of these dudes that we're talking about if you look

1092
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 2: at that relationship with it. That's why I'm so like,

1093
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 2: I gotta I gotta hug my boys all the time.

1094
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 2: You have two boys, two boys, and they're getting a

1095
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 2: lot of hugs.

1096
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: I got two boys, and I'm trying to maximize their

1097
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: earning potential.

1098
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 4: But I've abandoned them and I'm hoping they'll become famous

1099
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 4: very quickly.

1100
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: Got a lot of bills. Tim, Such a pleasure having

1101
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 1: you on the show. Where can you? People find you,

1102
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: follow you, hear you, all that good stuff.

1103
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. So the worst idea of all time is the

1104
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 3: podcast I did with Guy Montgomery, who is a real stitch.

1105
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 1: He's a friend, dude, He's so funny. One another one

1106
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 1: of our faves.

1107
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 3: That's the main thing.

1108
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were talking about the movies that you guys

1109
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: have covered. So Season one was grown Ups two, Season

1110
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 1: two Sex in the City Too. Season three We Are

1111
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 1: Your Friends for Where are Your Friends? And actually, if

1112
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: you want little taste.

1113
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 2: Probably one of the things I'm most proud of that

1114
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 2: I've ever made is Guy and I so very briefly,

1115
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 2: fucking almost a decade ago. Now, YouTube was commissioning original

1116
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 2: content and they gave us, I think they gave the

1117
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 2: production team. I think this was like legally, I'm not

1118
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 2: allowed to say this, but whatever, they didn't. They didn't

1119
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 2: greenlight the series, so fuck it, like a quarter of

1120
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 2: a million dollars to make a pilot. And so Guy

1121
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 2: and I lived in a sewer in New York City

1122
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 2: and watched teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles over and over again

1123
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 2: to invent the concept called method film reviewing. That is

1124
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 2: on YouTube, So that's quite good if you want to

1125
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 2: check that out.

1126
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, the rehearsal before the rehearsal, that's.

1127
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 2: Pre COVID, So you can check that out on YouTube.

1128
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 2: If you look up voice idea of all Time pilot.

1129
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 2: If you just punched that in, that'll that'll make you

1130
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 2: giggle for twenty minutes.

1131
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 1: How is it down there? Pretty cool how it was.

1132
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 2: So it was such a like America kind of Hollywood

1133
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 2: even though we're in New York kind of thing, because

1134
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 2: they showed us a map of where we were and

1135
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:36,439
Speaker 2: they were like, okay, and here's the hotel where you'll

1136
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 2: sleep at at night. When we stopped shooting, I was like,

1137
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 2: what are you talking about? And they're like, well, you know,

1138
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 2: so we wrap up at about eleven crew packs down.

1139
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 2: You guys get some sleep there. I was like, dude,

1140
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 2: we're sleeping in the sewer if we say we're sleeping.

1141
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 3: So they had to get these huge fans to ventilate

1142
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 3: the ear so we wouldn't die down there because we

1143
01:01:55,480 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 3: were so like, we were committed, so we lived. Director

1144
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:07,439
Speaker 3: respected the integrity, and I'm sure all the production crew

1145
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 3: were like these idiots.

1146
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: The production the emails between the production executives, you should like, Foyer,

1147
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: you should like those emails and then make a feature

1148
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 1: film about this experience.

1149
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 2: And I just want to shout out something while I'm

1150
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 2: on the show. Adam Curtis.

1151
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if people are familiar with his work,

1152
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 3: but he is a papernormaliza share how the.

1153
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 2: Funk Yeah documentary maker. I guess you described him as

1154
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 2: like a sociologist. He's like an anthropologist in some ways.

1155
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 2: He's got a series that's about to come out, a

1156
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 2: new series called Shifty. His ship is incredible, hyper Normalization

1157
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 2: is like essential watching at the moment. The one that

1158
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 2: I still really rate, which I think is probably his

1159
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 2: best work in my opinion, is The Century of the Self,

1160
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 2: which is all about the rise of consumerism and how

1161
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 2: it happened. And it happened really specifically, and it was

1162
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 2: down to kind of one guy called Edward Burnet's and

1163
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 2: it explores how that happened. But he's got a new

1164
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 2: series that's coming out soon called Shifty, and I am

1165
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 2: fucking excited.

1166
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 1: Nice what's it? What is Shifty about? Do you know?

1167
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 3: It's about Britain.

1168
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 2: It's about extreme money and hyper individualism came together to

1169
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:20,480
Speaker 2: become an unspoken alliance. So it sounds like it's about

1170
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 2: probably Thatcherism and yeah, how Britain lost its way and

1171
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 2: then leading up to Brexit and beyond.

1172
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 1: There's also a really good I'll save it from my

1173
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 1: thing thing I've been enjoying. But there's a there's a

1174
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 1: good Twitter that is future Adam Curtis b roll Oh Yeah,

1175
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 1: there's something that he does. He just finds these incredible

1176
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 1: shots of just random things like it usually as documentaries

1177
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: are a series of like seemingly random things that it's

1178
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: like a collage of like moments from the thing that

1179
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 1: he's talking about, and so you're hearing these like really

1180
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 1: interesting kind of high theory ideas about like what's going

1181
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 1: wrong with society and then like there's just these incredible

1182
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 1: He just has an amazing ability to like find all

1183
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 1: this like b roll from that moment in time. His

1184
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 1: Russia one is really good also.

1185
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but apparently the way he makes them as Hay

1186
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 2: and a small team of research is that babyc locked

1187

1188
