Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from
Speaker 1: this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment laugh stravaganza. Yeah, so,
Speaker 1: without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist.
Speaker 2: But fuck all that. Okay, let's get to the guest today. Whatever,
Speaker 2: it's just a chaos filled episode. Allow me to bring
Speaker 2: in the advice king. The mister Coldbrew got me like
Speaker 2: the foremost I don't know expert on YouTube and everything esoteric.
Speaker 1: I feel like you know what I mean. And also,
Speaker 1: are you running for office?
Speaker 3: Do I have that role? Yes?
Speaker 1: Okay, well bring it in future local politician Chris Kroft.
Speaker 3: What's up? You think I'm gonna be crazy today? You're wrong.
Speaker 3: I'm a politician now normal, come out both sides? What
Speaker 3: about both sides?
Speaker 1: Chris? Since last year were on, I've seen that you
Speaker 1: were filing the the relevant documents to run for office
Speaker 1: locally in Nashvilles.
Speaker 3: Yes, so I moved back to Nashville at the end
Speaker 3: of September and I went, well, whatever, I went here,
Speaker 3: I was here and then I live in Madison. How
Speaker 3: did you get there?
Speaker 1: Already?
Speaker 3: Be a very boring segment the health man. I was
Speaker 3: hoping to talk about metal detecting again. So I moved
Speaker 3: to Madison, which is like where it's all vape shops
Speaker 3: and pay day loan places, you know, and so it's
Speaker 3: not New Nashville. So it's like this New Nashville. You know,
Speaker 3: everybody's like, you know, it's the Lollipop Forest and all
Speaker 3: that shit. So I moved to this part of town
Speaker 3: where the roads are all well like wagon tracks, right,
Speaker 3: I said wagon tracks. I went down to the city
Speaker 3: council and I said wagon tracks to him like four
Speaker 3: times real loud. And and so anyway, the roads here
Speaker 3: shan't by the way, I think that's there's the roads
Speaker 3: here are trashed. Right, So the roads here are trashed.
Speaker 3: It's like a bunch. There's no public transportation of any note.
Speaker 3: It's humiliating to wait for the bus. You just stand
Speaker 3: in like some weeds. It's fucking horrible. So we got
Speaker 3: one neighborhood up here that's like four feet out of
Speaker 3: Lollipop Town. There's New Nashville, you know. Where I'm up
Speaker 3: from Nashville. I'm like ten minutes up the road, you know,
Speaker 3: And this is much more real in the sense of
Speaker 3: it's much more poor, right, and you know, real meaning
Speaker 3: like just working class people. I mean real meaning you
Speaker 3: don't like it, you know what I mean, Like real
Speaker 3: is supposed to be. You know. It's I like it
Speaker 3: because it reminds me of old Nashville before it had
Speaker 3: like hot and cold running like micro bruiser whatever the fuck,
Speaker 3: and and anyway, so I'm like up here and I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 3: the roads here trashed. There's a homeless encampment in the woods.
Speaker 3: There's like and then there's just Nashville like, which is
Speaker 3: just booming with and they're just keep putting up these
Speaker 3: luxury hotels and things. So I was like, so the
Speaker 3: big thing was they they said, the Titans of course,
Speaker 3: threatened to leave if they don't get a new stadium,
Speaker 3: which is what NFL teams do, you know, And nobody
Speaker 3: can say no to them because like you know, because
Speaker 3: Vegas or something, they'll go crazy, like the whole world
Speaker 3: will go crazy, you know what I mean. Like it's like,
Speaker 3: you know, you can't say no to the Titans. But
Speaker 3: I also think you should say no to the Titans
Speaker 3: when they do this to you, which is they asked
Speaker 3: for a new stadium, and they cut a deal where
Speaker 3: we give Nashville. The city gives like seven hundred million
Speaker 3: dollars to the to the stadium, but it's even more
Speaker 3: than that. But there's like seven hundred million dollars in
Speaker 3: tax dollars going to the NFL. When we got people
Speaker 3: full of kratom standing in the weeds waiting for the
Speaker 3: bus that comes erratically, like there's no there's there's there's
Speaker 3: traffic here of this place. I used to live here
Speaker 3: when it was empty, and I don't I don't expect
Speaker 3: it to be empty. Like when I moved here in
Speaker 3: two thousand and one, there was nobody here, and I
Speaker 3: understand that's not sustainable, but I liked it because you
Speaker 3: could just go around and write, you know, you could
Speaker 3: just like to add my band and you just pay
Speaker 3: you two hundred dollars a month rent. You get drunk,
Speaker 3: and you tell everybody what's what. That's a great town
Speaker 3: to me. Yeah, but that you know, that's not you know,
Speaker 3: people eventually will catch on to the rent being like
Speaker 3: two hundred dollars and then people come here. Right, So,
Speaker 3: like growth is fine, but like.
Speaker 2: We just have Yeah, let's have the wealth distributed properly,
Speaker 2: so everybody is benefiting from it, right, what I was saying,
Speaker 2: trickle down the wealth.
Speaker 3: I think it's what miles, Yeah, yeah, yeah, we need
Speaker 3: to give more money to the people at the top.
Speaker 3: It's not falling down fast enough, thank you.
Speaker 1: So more gravity up top.
Speaker 3: It'll they're not stacking enough money at the top because
Speaker 3: it will not come down. You got it. It's like
Speaker 3: one of those machines at the gas station where they
Speaker 3: have like the pennies. You know what you're you push
Speaker 3: If you push harder on the gas pump lever, more
Speaker 3: gas comes out faster. Yeah, it's like another platform. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's like yeah, it's like if you don't squeeze hard
Speaker 3: enough of the gas station.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing.
Speaker 3: So so anyway, I went down to the stadium hearing
Speaker 3: and I don't know if you guys have heard the
Speaker 3: audio from it. I have it. You know you can
Speaker 3: hear it. I just I could play it. I don't.
Speaker 3: It's two minutes long, but it's me yelling at not
Speaker 3: yelling because I'm running for real, that's one thing. I'm
Speaker 3: running for Metro Council at large History office, meaning it's
Speaker 3: not tied to a particular district. So I'm running at
Speaker 3: large all of Davidson County. There's five selected, there's twenty
Speaker 3: one people running, and I'm not doing this as a stunt.
Speaker 3: And I just I went down to the stadium and
Speaker 3: I and I thought I was going to wait to
Speaker 3: watch the proceedings. They were deciding whether to approve the
Speaker 3: stadium and the stadium deal and it was already done.
Speaker 3: Like the activists had to get like had to be
Speaker 3: activists just to get a hearing. But then the hearing
Speaker 3: was like everybody's sort of like I can't even it's
Speaker 3: too long a story. But one side of the hall
Speaker 3: was people wearing loafers, Gucci loafers and no socks for real,
Speaker 3: and the other side was like all black. I mean
Speaker 3: it was like it was like white and black. It
Speaker 3: was not that extreme, but it was like the white
Speaker 3: people in the fleece vests and the fucking loafers with
Speaker 3: no socks just got up and said, we want a
Speaker 3: stadium because it's fun and we can smoke cgars in it.
Speaker 3: And then a bunch of people of color, teachers like
Speaker 3: regular people got up and made good points and they
Speaker 3: sided with the guys who want to smoke cigars, you know,
Speaker 3: and it was to see that. If it was not,
Speaker 3: it would have made me bad if there wasn't taxpayer
Speaker 3: money involved, just the attitude, but the fact that they
Speaker 3: were giving away tax money. And it was like very
Speaker 3: stark because I don't know why there was like weird
Speaker 3: intimidation things happening. The reason I know why you could
Speaker 3: tell the difference in color between the people who are
Speaker 3: pro stadium and anti stadium is because they divided us
Speaker 3: when we got there. You had to get in a
Speaker 3: line that said pro and a line that said against,
Speaker 3: which I already thought was weird. But I got up
Speaker 3: and I didn't even thought. They said, well, you can't
Speaker 3: go into sit because the Titans already paid a ton
Speaker 3: of people to be here, and they all filled the
Speaker 3: place already. They had a picnic. The Titans had a
Speaker 3: picnic for people in the afternoon to be that's how
Speaker 3: you warm up for activism is with a light light.
Speaker 3: But it was a week day, so they it was
Speaker 3: whoever got there first got to speak for two hours.
Speaker 3: So the pro stadium people got two hours, and then
Speaker 3: a bunch of people Anti stadium people had like kids
Speaker 3: and stuff. Regular people had to go home so anyway,
Speaker 3: I got in there and I just I didn't I
Speaker 3: just wanted to. I realized they were going to pass it.
Speaker 3: So I just said, this is socialism, not because I
Speaker 3: hate socialism. Of course. The first person that came at
Speaker 3: me was a liberal saying, you, why do you got
Speaker 3: to put down socialism? And I was like, I'm not
Speaker 3: putting down socialism, saying socialism to these people because they
Speaker 3: don't they think corporate peak capitalism. They think it's peak
Speaker 3: capitalism because the NFL is involved. So they're like NFL's capitalism,
Speaker 3: but you're giving them tax payer money. Doesn't matter NFL,
Speaker 3: you know. And so I was just there to say.
Speaker 3: I said, it was like putting up a gold statue
Speaker 3: of Stalin. I said, I said it was. I said
Speaker 3: it was. I said crazy shit because I wanted to
Speaker 3: say stuff in that chamber that they had not heard.
Speaker 3: But I mainly got to say this is corruption and
Speaker 3: you guys know it. And it felt so good because
Speaker 3: when I do stand up, all I do is complain
Speaker 3: about corruption, well not all, and I also do jokes
Speaker 3: about how people who smoke pot of mustard on their pants,
Speaker 3: but they but you know, I got you can't just
Speaker 3: get up there and talk about the division of wealth.
Speaker 3: But anyway, so it was like a very it was
Speaker 3: an amazing moment for me because I realized, oh wait,
Speaker 3: this is like doing stand up but for people who
Speaker 3: don't want to hear it, like, well, that's not that
Speaker 3: different either, So I know it's not that difficult. But
Speaker 3: hearing saying this stuff about, you know, corruption to people
Speaker 3: who are actually doing the corruption felt good. And so
Speaker 3: then I thought, why should run for office? And then
Speaker 3: I mean the amount of support I've had has been
Speaker 3: just absolutely amazing. People have been like, yes, so you'll see,
Speaker 3: I just want to be a nice guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I look, Hey, for those of you that are able,
Speaker 2: you know, check out Chris Crofton's campaign running for the
Speaker 2: at large.
Speaker 3: District Metro Council at large Castle, Tennessee. You can go
Speaker 3: to vote blue and I'm raising money there. I haven't
Speaker 3: got my account all the way set up, so you know,
Speaker 3: don't go there, don't go there, don't go there for
Speaker 3: a little while. Go there in a couple of days.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well I'm not when you launch your your fundraising arm.
Speaker 4: What is something from your search history search history a
Speaker 4: cheap gift? My wife's birthday is this weekend. I know
Speaker 4: the actual is of Randy Johnson kills bird was what
Speaker 4: it was because I think a cup maybe it was
Speaker 4: over the weekend. Randy Johnson by the famous But I'm
Speaker 4: picking up on Jack's Q that I was talking about
Speaker 4: obscure Philadelphia sports stuff and Jack had to keep jumping
Speaker 4: and explaining what the fuck I was talking about.
Speaker 3: So I'll just do it myself.
Speaker 4: Randy Johnson was a famous Hall of Fame pitcher, and
Speaker 4: this seems mathematically impossible, but one time he was pitching
Speaker 4: and he threw the pitch to the plate and then
Speaker 4: a bird flew in the path of the pitch and
Speaker 4: the bird, I don't I don't know what happened to it.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it survived, it exploded, it exploded, yes, yeah, truly, Like.
Speaker 3: There it was decimated. A bird is.
Speaker 1: Flying and then there is just a cloud of feathers
Speaker 1: and that's it.
Speaker 4: It was stunning. And then it happened again over the weekend.
Speaker 4: We're in warm ups. There was a picture for the
Speaker 4: same team that Randy Johnson played for, the Arizona Diamondbacks,
Speaker 4: was warming up in his pitch. By the way, this
Speaker 4: is all accident. These people aren't burderers, right, and they
Speaker 4: was blood thirsty motherfuckers, these fucking fat There was foul play,
Speaker 4: but I do need to go. But no, they hit
Speaker 4: I probably should be leaving it. I'm feeling faint, but yeah.
Speaker 4: Another pitcher hit a bird with a pitch over the
Speaker 4: week over the weekend, over the weekend.
Speaker 1: Same kind of image.
Speaker 3: It was not as cool.
Speaker 4: I know, you love that that just that bird exploding
Speaker 4: sort of thing. Jack, You don't you like to get
Speaker 4: your money? Yeah, but no, this shot, it wasn't nearly
Speaker 4: out in the outfield. He was warming up, so you know, yeah,
Speaker 4: he didn't put much behind it, but it did kill
Speaker 4: the bird.
Speaker 2: Also in the Cleveland Guardians the Cleveland Guardians White Sox game,
Speaker 2: a bird also got fucked up by like a ground
Speaker 2: ball like this over over the weekend too. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: Randy Johnson, known as the Big Unit. You can imagine
Speaker 2: what kind of heat was coming off that arm. Now
Speaker 2: he's just a you know, he's just like a hobby photographer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he seemed like he would like just disappear into
Speaker 1: the desert once.
Speaker 2: He goes to like he takes like sports photos like
Speaker 2: you see him in the background of like football games
Speaker 2: and ship like on the field like a telephoto lens.
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm just really into photography.
Speaker 3: He gets the best shots because he's six eleven.
Speaker 1: Right, he's out Here's he just loved he just loves
Speaker 1: looking at things through the lens. You know, he's taking
Speaker 1: like concert photos anyway.
Speaker 2: It just it's always fun to see's like, I think
Speaker 2: I can think he got into it in college or something,
Speaker 2: and that's I was just like, and I just kept
Speaker 2: it going after that.
Speaker 3: That's cool.
Speaker 1: What is something that you think is overrated?
Speaker 5: Beside sandwiches?
Speaker 1: Yes? Wow?
Speaker 5: Quitting Twitter and indignation overrated?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know why? Yeah, because no one notices when
Speaker 6: you stop doing something. No one, no one notices. Yeah,
Speaker 6: And like every social media platform sucks in its own
Speaker 6: special way.
Speaker 5: Every I mean.
Speaker 6: Elon obviously, Extra sucks, which I guess we're going to
Speaker 6: be talking about, But like, no one notices when you
Speaker 6: stop doing something. I've seen a specific news organization that
Speaker 6: I may or may not have a loose affiliation with,
Speaker 6: you know, quit in a very public way. My my
Speaker 6: news outlet did too, and I you know, they didn't
Speaker 6: make us quit, you know, or the reporters that news
Speaker 6: organization quit. But I'm like, what an opportunity you had
Speaker 6: when you're actually being talked about to do something else
Speaker 6: with this besides just stop doing anything right and now
Speaker 6: like you're not to do anything with it, Like you
Speaker 6: could have raised money, you could have like topt people
Speaker 6: with journalism is but like when you're not doing anything,
Speaker 6: nobody notices you're not doing anything. So I just think
Speaker 6: that there's like taking your toy. Remember it happened with
Speaker 6: Reddit like a bunch of years ago, Like what happened
Speaker 6: with that? Nothing like nothing, So I don't know. I
Speaker 6: just I just think that there's some like a little
Speaker 6: bit of just like virtue signally nothing burgerness and quitting
Speaker 6: Twitter and in ignation right now. I mean maybe someday
Speaker 6: it will be important, but to me it's a little
Speaker 6: bit overrated.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry if either one of you did that, And
Speaker 5: I just like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's like twelve to thirteen times a day about I'm
Speaker 1: quitting Twitter. Yeah, each post is like that's it you've
Speaker 1: done at this time, musk. But yeah, I guess the
Speaker 1: fact that I've been doing that for three months now, probably.
Speaker 2: I'll never quit because I never thought I would have
Speaker 2: this many followers, and I like to look at the number.
Speaker 2: Why would I do that now at the top of
Speaker 2: my game?
Speaker 3: That's true?
Speaker 1: And may I say to the followers, you guys, stop
Speaker 1: quitting because it's making our numbers go down. That makes
Speaker 1: us sad. You're burning me. You burned me listeners who
Speaker 1: quit Twitter?
Speaker 3: My number went down, Like.
Speaker 6: Jack, I was looking at your following, You're like about
Speaker 6: twice as many as me. Like I could fill like
Speaker 6: a small college football stadium. You could feel like a
Speaker 6: big college football stadium. Like you couldn't like show up
Speaker 6: somewhere and like forty five thousand people would show up,
Speaker 6: right right.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're all very loyal too.
Speaker 6: And they're all real people.
Speaker 1: There Mber bonds of mine, Yeah, number bots, and they're
Speaker 1: all they're all real me. Yeah, they love me like
Speaker 1: family members. I have a forty five thousand person family.
Speaker 6: They're not going to hang out flags in front of
Speaker 6: their house after they graduate.
Speaker 1: You. It's weird how I can get twelve thousand of
Speaker 1: them to say the exact same thing to me at
Speaker 1: the same time. Yeah, what's there? That's how that's all
Speaker 1: on the same page. They are wait and then sandwiches
Speaker 1: are overrated? You just kind of fun skip past that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I sandwiches right to the lead.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all sandwiches.
Speaker 5: Sandwiches, well, not grilled cheese, obviously, I like.
Speaker 1: Obvious, obviously not one of the three most popular sandwiches.
Speaker 6: The world's greatest hangover food is obviously not overrated. Okay, okay,
Speaker 6: but yeah, I don't get. I just I've never understood
Speaker 6: like the obsession with sandwiches. I know, people love sandwiches
Speaker 6: for me personally, sure, No.
Speaker 2: I'm not it's like the mania, like sandwich mania that's
Speaker 2: overrated or you.
Speaker 6: I just I just I don't understand, like when people
Speaker 6: are like, oh, we're going to bring in lunch for
Speaker 6: this Meeting're bringing in sandwiches and everyone's like yeah, and
Speaker 6: I'm like, yeah, right right.
Speaker 5: Pizza, yeah, sandwiches.
Speaker 6: No, Like it's just the stuff in the middle is
Speaker 6: a good part, and like I have to get through
Speaker 6: the ship on the app side to get to stuff.
Speaker 5: In the middle.
Speaker 2: You're almost like Trump with pizza. You're like, nah, not,
Speaker 2: the bread is just the top part. Scrape it off,
Speaker 2: thank you.
Speaker 5: That very complimentary comparison.
Speaker 2: Really I get that, look, I get the sort of
Speaker 2: singular focus though, it's just sort of like no, no, no,
Speaker 2: that's filler.
Speaker 1: You want the meats and the cheeses right there, that's
Speaker 1: the fucking I'm.
Speaker 6: Just I'm not like a huge, huge bread person. I mean,
Speaker 6: I'm not like anti carbs. I fucking love carbs. But
Speaker 6: I'm not like one people who's.
Speaker 5: Like I love bread, and then people are.
Speaker 6: Always like, you love it if you have the bread
Speaker 6: I make, And then I'm like, no, one fucking won't
Speaker 6: like I don't.
Speaker 1: Really, It's like it's just.
Speaker 6: It's just bread. It's just like it's not a special.
Speaker 6: It's just my opinion. It's my opinion. Not everybody agrees.
Speaker 5: It's okay. I have high I have had great bread,
Speaker 5: get me, don't get me wrong. There is bread that's
Speaker 5: better than other bread. I give that.
Speaker 1: Have you tried the they there's this thing they have
Speaker 1: out here in La called sliced bread where they are Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not just one big hunk. It's really the greatest thing.
Speaker 5: It doesn't come out of a stone oven. It's not artisanal.
Speaker 5: Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 1: Wonder that's it? That's good stuff. Have you tried to
Speaker 1: wonder the stuff slice break gets so much credit from
Speaker 1: people all the time.
Speaker 2: Have you seen like those clips when like Americans are
Speaker 2: amazed at like the bread slicers in Europe, Like when
Speaker 2: you go to a store and like, oh, there's like
Speaker 2: I've just seen a genre of video like Americans whose
Speaker 2: minds are blown buying like a loaf of bread at
Speaker 2: a European grocery store that like you can then take
Speaker 2: to a machine that just like slices it fresh.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was just gonna say coffee.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, yeah, you just load it in. I
Speaker 2: might be in Germany or something like that, and it
Speaker 2: just like cleanly just slices it up, so you have
Speaker 2: like good like your loaf is actually as fresh as
Speaker 2: possible or whatever, and.
Speaker 3: Wow, it just slices it right here.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, and I watched it.
Speaker 3: I'm like, come on, man, act like you're I'm like,
Speaker 3: it's just slices right.
Speaker 2: The chill forgot yeah yeah, act like you've been here.
Speaker 1: That shit does make it Like grinding your coffee beans
Speaker 1: right before you brew the coffee really does make a difference.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I now now I want the I want
Speaker 1: a unsliced wonderbread loaf, something that even thank you. I'll
Speaker 1: take it home.
Speaker 2: Just yeah, with your friend knife just doing the most
Speaker 2: uneven slices.
Speaker 5: You ever tried to cut wonderbread or like with a knife,
Speaker 5: you can't do it.
Speaker 1: It's just like but yeah, like a non Newtonian substance.
Speaker 1: It's neither air is it's neither gas nor solid nor liquid? Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: the knife doesn't know what to do with it. What
Speaker 1: is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 7: Magnesium glycinate for sleeping?
Speaker 1: It's so specific.
Speaker 3: God, magnesium? Sorry what glyconate?
Speaker 7: Magnesium glyconate? Specifically, magnesium comes in different forms. You can
Speaker 7: a bunch of different little endings, the glacier one for
Speaker 7: sleeping in particular.
Speaker 1: Magnesium when the number one auto complete for magnesium space
Speaker 1: and Google is glacinate. So it is it is us
Speaker 1: who are wrong. Food by magnesium and cheese, which is
Speaker 1: and cheese mag and cheese? Wait? So what is yeah?
Speaker 1: Tell me? Where where did you hear about it?
Speaker 2: What is is it? Is it for helping? Is it
Speaker 2: like a sleep aid or what's going on?
Speaker 3: It is a sleep aid.
Speaker 7: I heard about it from the journal, the very scientific
Speaker 7: journal that I always consume. TikTok. It helps you sleep,
Speaker 7: But it doesn't help you get to sleep, it helps
Speaker 7: you get into a deeper sleep once you are asleep.
Speaker 7: So my whole life, I was like, I don't really
Speaker 7: dream that often. I like have dreams sometimes, well like
Speaker 7: not super often, maybe once every couple of weeks. Turns out,
Speaker 7: I'm just not getting into rim sleep where dreams happen. Enough,
Speaker 7: we're staying in sleep long enough, and magnesium glacinate allows
Speaker 7: me to stay into rim sleep for a long time.
Speaker 7: So once I started taking it, I started having these
Speaker 7: really intense dreams that I thought we like hallucinations. Turns
Speaker 7: out that's normal and everybody has them. I just wasn't
Speaker 7: dreaming like that before because I wasn't sleeping like that.
Speaker 2: So we would describe one of your dreams. It's like
Speaker 2: very like, Okay, I had this one. I was I
Speaker 2: had to give a speech at school and I'm.
Speaker 7: Doing No, it's nothing like that.
Speaker 3: I had a dream.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, Okay, I had a dream that one
Speaker 7: of my friends who had just gone to Europe for
Speaker 7: his birthday for a month, I was watching his location
Speaker 7: on Find my Friends, and I told him to come
Speaker 7: to where I was, and so I'm watching him cross
Speaker 7: like the boot of Italy on some.
Speaker 3: Some it's so random.
Speaker 7: On some bridge, he's going through the boot of Italy
Speaker 7: to get to me somewhere also in Europe. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 7: and it's like dark out. There's like a lot of
Speaker 7: stars around. I'm with some person. I don't know who
Speaker 7: they are.
Speaker 3: Stuff like that.
Speaker 7: Very just super random, but very vivid.
Speaker 2: Dream Yeah, Okay, I'm gonna have to look into that.
Speaker 1: We're big dream heads on this podcast.
Speaker 8: There.
Speaker 1: I feel I feel like there are insights in there
Speaker 1: if you just like, you know, keep track of them
Speaker 1: and like, don't be too specific, don't be like, oh
Speaker 1: so I'm going to see my friend on a bridge
Speaker 1: on the boot. But like there's you know, I think
Speaker 1: there's power there coming from the unconscious part of our minds.
Speaker 3: That I agree.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's the most powerful thing the humans
Speaker 1: have access to if you know how to use it.
Speaker 1: So that's cool. Magnesium glaconate against dreaming.
Speaker 3: I'll combine that with my th HC in that will.
Speaker 1: Always do it.
Speaker 3: Now, that's the thing.
Speaker 7: I'm scared of forming independency, so I won't do it
Speaker 7: more than two nights in a row. So I'll do
Speaker 7: my magnesium. But yes, definitely felt.
Speaker 1: Now the combo get combination? Yeah made yeah anything, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is like anti colmactic. Yeah, magnesium and T A
Speaker 1: C the combination.
Speaker 7: Now, I am not a doctor, so take this for
Speaker 7: what it's worth.
Speaker 1: But you are someone who's talk Yeah, you.
Speaker 7: Know what I mean, naturally, Yeah, an Osha Ganda supplement
Speaker 7: plus magnesium glyasconer plus a little THC. We'll actually have
Speaker 7: you in a stupor you.
Speaker 3: Might not wake up from that.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm seeing already like people are talking about combining
Speaker 2: actual ganda and magnesium gissing.
Speaker 1: Oh, this is all kinds of stuff going.
Speaker 3: Okay, so it's a little crazy.
Speaker 1: Let us know, let us know if that's how you
Speaker 1: get downs like king. Yeah, yeah, all right, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break and we'll come back and talk about
Speaker 1: Nikki Haley. We'll be right back and we're back, and
Speaker 1: Harlan Crowe is just a regular old guy and everybody
Speaker 1: needs to cool it. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, do
Speaker 1: you say anything more than that?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I wasn't familiar with Harlan Crowe before
Speaker 9: all of this controversy, so I was shocked that he
Speaker 9: apparently had a stand in this like gram guy who
Speaker 9: was just like, Oh, I've been into this dude, and
Speaker 9: he's just a regular dude, you know, like all of
Speaker 9: our grandpa's. He's like funding a Supreme Court judge, you know,
Speaker 9: just a regular old.
Speaker 1: Dude like them. For how else would you unburden yourself
Speaker 1: with generations of inherited wealth? Was He's one of the
Speaker 1: things that this writer bind. He's not buying Nazi crap.
Speaker 1: He's unburdening himself with this historical relics. That's all it is.
Speaker 9: And if you're gonna buy historical relics, why would it
Speaker 9: be of say the country you live in, or maybe
Speaker 9: something related. Why wouldn't it be Nazis?
Speaker 3: Gotta be cool. There's so much history. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But so the first like as people were, you know,
Speaker 1: as the pro Publica series was being published, The Atlantic
Speaker 1: came out with this article that made headlines because the
Speaker 1: author was like, anyone who calls him a Nazi for
Speaker 1: collecting Nazi paraphernalia is an idiot. And I think we
Speaker 1: all know that, right, people can all agree His last
Speaker 1: line of like the article is something to the effect
Speaker 1: of like Harlan Crowe's friends know that he's not a Nazi,
Speaker 1: and it's like but and those that don't, of course,
Speaker 1: they jump to that because they're not smart like his friends.
Speaker 1: And you're like like, like, oh what, because America is
Speaker 1: a meritocracy and we can all just agree on that
Speaker 1: and move on. But as we talked about the last
Speaker 1: time we covered this, the guy Graham Wood is a
Speaker 1: like as he mentioned in the first article, like grew
Speaker 1: up in the same town as Harlan crow in like Dallas,
Speaker 1: and would like run past his compound and like peer
Speaker 1: through the gates and like wonder what was going. So
Speaker 1: he's he is like a lifelong fan of this billionaire.
Speaker 3: Or at least like prop yeah, his mystique, you know.
Speaker 1: So he's he's always wanted to just get in there.
Speaker 1: He's been looking for this opportunity there.
Speaker 9: You know, we all peek over the fence of a
Speaker 9: villain's mansion and go maybe me someday.
Speaker 1: I wish I could hang and hang out in there,
Speaker 1: and oh you enjoy some cannabis. Let me tell you
Speaker 1: favorite favorite pastime of black.
Speaker 2: And brown people in the US peering over somebody's fence
Speaker 2: that you don't It always ends properly to the point
Speaker 2: where I've never done that ship in my life. But anyway,
Speaker 2: this piece, though he really got the first piece got
Speaker 2: Harlan Crowe's attention and he was like, oh shit, this okay,
Speaker 2: these guys kind of a fan standing up, Yeah, I like,
Speaker 2: I fuck with this.
Speaker 3: Grand he wants to see my naz like totally come
Speaker 3: on over.
Speaker 2: So guess who got a personal invitation to Harlan Crowe's
Speaker 2: fucking sculpture garden. None other than Graham would And apparently
Speaker 2: up top he's like, look, man, I'm not gonna talk
Speaker 2: about this Clarence Thomas shit. He's like, oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: for sure, for sure, sure, for sure. Obviously that's not
Speaker 2: even important to me. What I'm trying to do is
Speaker 2: humanize you. And this whole thing it's about as predictably
Speaker 2: like a puff piece as you can imagine. Like it's
Speaker 2: filled with some really dumb equivocations. There's one part where
Speaker 2: Harlan crow is like, I wouldn't be mad if like,
Speaker 2: let's say George Soros was friends with like the head
Speaker 2: of the World Bank, and you're like, oh ya, you
Speaker 2: really scream that dog whistle into the mic, okay, And
Speaker 2: let's not pretend like a Supreme Court justice is some
Speaker 2: kind of rabid capitalist business person. But I guess maybe
Speaker 2: that's what is being revealed, is that these people are
Speaker 2: not really here to adjudicate fairly that they're they can
Speaker 2: you know, they're ideological pieces that can be manipulated by
Speaker 2: people like Harlan Crowe. But again, I think overall, this
Speaker 2: piece just a really really cool moment where this journalist
Speaker 2: completely misses the point in order to like curry favor
Speaker 2: with a billionaire that he admires and tries to pretend
Speaker 2: as if his ties to Clarence Thomas aren't deeply problematic.
Speaker 2: He's like, of course you should disclose that stuff.
Speaker 1: Obviously. I'm saying that he's like, what was the fucking
Speaker 1: problem if he bought his mom's house. She lives at
Speaker 1: rent free or pay whatever. Marla's just a good dude.
Speaker 9: He's always just helping people who happen to be on
Speaker 9: the Supreme Court.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, always like he.
Speaker 1: Knows where to put his money.
Speaker 2: The title of the piece is called the Collector because
Speaker 2: you're like, wow, great love.
Speaker 9: Which is just which I just like they just wave
Speaker 9: off the collecting Nazi memorabilia so easy, like just it's
Speaker 9: not like collecting lucky pennies. Okay, Like in Germany people
Speaker 9: aren't allowed to collect Nazi memorabilia. I studied German history,
Speaker 9: and I have no interest in collecting like Nazi memorabilia.
Speaker 2: Like what, It's just so fascinating that some of the
Speaker 2: three leaders during World War Two were all artists.
Speaker 1: I just think there's a fun story there.
Speaker 3: That's what he says about by Hitler's painting. That's just
Speaker 3: a fun story.
Speaker 1: So there's a fun story there. Like Okay, well what's
Speaker 1: the fun?
Speaker 9: I mean, this is where I'm like taking Let's ask
Speaker 9: him what that's some more questions.
Speaker 2: I think at best, right, he's so disconnected from what
Speaker 2: it means to collect that Nazi shit that he really
Speaker 2: doesn't see an issue because like, oh, like, I'm not
Speaker 2: affected by white supremacy or hate like in ways like that.
Speaker 2: Plus my money insulates me from that kind of reality.
Speaker 2: So I truly look at it as buying like old shit.
Speaker 2: Not even that I don't like I like it. I'm
Speaker 2: just like I can afford this story.
Speaker 3: I don't know what.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Hitler wasn't that scary.
Speaker 2: Even when I think of myself, I probably would have
Speaker 2: been fine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know, are what are we afraid of here?
Speaker 1: Yeah? What's the issue?
Speaker 2: But yeah, like there's another part though too, where like
Speaker 2: Graham Wood really wants to underline Crows like never Trump
Speaker 2: like bona fides or.
Speaker 1: He's like man like he he hates Trump though, like
Speaker 1: he hates them.
Speaker 2: So like huh, like it's just kind of like out
Speaker 2: of know, we're just saying that, Like so that's got
Speaker 2: to count for something. It's like but at the end
Speaker 2: of the day, he is so invested in the conservative
Speaker 2: like legal movement that like what, I don't understand why
Speaker 2: you think that one is different from the other, because
Speaker 2: they're they're both like trains that are moving in the
Speaker 2: exact same direction.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one is impolite and draws attention to itself, which
Speaker 1: is against the rules, especially for people who are part of,
Speaker 1: you know, the tradition of collecting and protecting generational wealth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, so the Trump is bad for those people.
Speaker 2: There was there was another good quote that was saying
Speaker 2: how Harlan Crow like, actually he doesn't feel powerful at all.
Speaker 2: He doesn't get why. He's like he's like, I'm actually
Speaker 2: not that powerful.
Speaker 1: I'm a baby.
Speaker 3: Yeah, He's like I'm wintle and weak.
Speaker 1: He's like, he's like they even like in the thing
Speaker 1: that are saying.
Speaker 2: Even President Biden has said he's like how He's like,
Speaker 2: you think you're going to be calling the shots. He's like,
Speaker 2: I take more orders now as president than I ever
Speaker 2: thought I would, as like as a way to be like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: because you don't know where you are home.
Speaker 3: That's what.
Speaker 1: The Democratic Party that is fucking tied irrevocably to massive
Speaker 1: billionaires like this asshole. Yeah exactly. But it just like
Speaker 1: it's fun to like painted.
Speaker 2: It's like he doesn't even think he's He himself thinks
Speaker 2: he's weak, so it's okay, Like, yeah, it's.
Speaker 9: Totally fine if I'm not actually because I don't think
Speaker 9: I have the power. Like sometimes I call Clarence Thomas
Speaker 9: and he doesn't even call me back until like fifteen
Speaker 9: minutes later.
Speaker 3: I'm very, very weak.
Speaker 1: Those fifteen minutes they feel like an hour. I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, man, I tell you. I've told Mike Walt
Speaker 1: granddaughter who just got back from Liberal Arts College. I've
Speaker 1: been ghosted too, okay by Clarence. It's tough out here.
Speaker 1: It's hard for a billy. Yeah, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's more predictable, like nonsense. I don't
Speaker 1: know why they're all in on this campaign to like
Speaker 1: try and defend Harlan Crow or like like what the
Speaker 1: editors at The Atlantic are like, Oh you got another
Speaker 1: Harlan Crow piece. Yeah, loved it up in the hop.
Speaker 1: But again, at the end of the day's go, it's
Speaker 1: truly to be what the kids say, Right, let's go,
Speaker 1: let's go.
Speaker 3: Atlantic Office.
Speaker 1: He's like, Yo, it's different, My god, bro, this was busting, busting.
Speaker 1: You didn't tell me about this. I actually believe he's
Speaker 1: a normal guy. But yeah, I mean, I think it
Speaker 1: just shows legacy media is still there. They're still in
Speaker 1: the billionaire culture. So they're not about to they're not
Speaker 1: about to point fingers and ship. Yeah. This guy, by
Speaker 1: the way, graduated from Harvard and currently is also a
Speaker 1: lecture in political science at Yale University.
Speaker 3: So it's really in touch with the people, the.
Speaker 1: Mainstream media, Ivy League, like that whole insular circle of
Speaker 1: people just cranking each other off and being like we're
Speaker 1: all we all get it right, Like we we can't
Speaker 1: tell the truth here, right, We know that there's an
Speaker 1: order two things, if you know what I'm saying, and
Speaker 1: it like ultimately comes down to fucking eugenics and being fascists,
Speaker 1: like being wealth fascists essentially. I wonder if they, like
Speaker 1: I can imagine they listen to Run the World by
Speaker 1: Beyonce and they who run they're like.
Speaker 3: Us, we love this way.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Carlan grow is definitely like on his little stationary
Speaker 9: by pumping that in his ears.
Speaker 1: Or exercise bikes that with the little arms. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: got the old timey like workout equipment from Nazi Germany's
Speaker 1: like a jiggle belt that like jiggles your belly until
Speaker 1: the it's supposed to just like make this like make
Speaker 1: that mell off. He's like this my gold kettle bell.
Speaker 2: It's from uh, it's from stolen teeth from Oh never mind,
Speaker 2: don't worry about it anyway.
Speaker 1: It wasts a ton though. All right, Well let's talk
Speaker 1: about Elon real quick. Oh my god, did a c
Speaker 1: NBC interview at the end of last week, and you
Speaker 1: know what, what we've seen from his Twitter persona appears
Speaker 1: to have transferred over to his actual human body persona,
Speaker 1: because yeah, he's just full, full blown.
Speaker 2: He's just a human four chan shit post basically, and
Speaker 2: he really let his freak flag fly in that interview.
Speaker 2: And by freak flag, I mean swastika's because man, a
Speaker 2: lot of the interview made waves like around this is
Speaker 2: like incessant need to defend the like verified Nazi shooter
Speaker 2: from Alan, Texas. You know, the guy with like the
Speaker 2: all the Nazi tattoos and the talk of loving Nazis
Speaker 2: and how he'd rather be a Nazi than act black.
Speaker 2: When he posted that meme, like he let everybody know
Speaker 2: very clearly, you know where he stood on things, what
Speaker 2: his perspective was.
Speaker 3: Anyway, Elon, he goes off about how despite all.
Speaker 2: Of the evidence and even the shooter's own words, it's
Speaker 2: not right to call this like a white supremacist act.
Speaker 1: So let me let me just play this.
Speaker 2: He's he's gonna start off by talking about why he's
Speaker 2: like dubious and you can just watch his like brain
Speaker 2: start melting.
Speaker 8: And the evidence for that was some obscure Russian website
Speaker 8: that Noah's everhood of that had no followers, and the
Speaker 8: the company that that found this is belling Cat And
Speaker 8: do you know what bella cat does?
Speaker 10: Ops, I couldn't really even follow exactly what it was
Speaker 10: you were trying to express there.
Speaker 1: So that's part why I was curious.
Speaker 8: But I'm saying that I thought that the ascribing it
Speaker 8: to whites premacy was bullshit. Okay, and and uh and
Speaker 8: and and and that the information for that came from
Speaker 8: an obscure Russian website and was somehow magically found by Bellingcat,
Speaker 8: which is a company that doess.
Speaker 1: Okay, so enough about that, does not doops?
Speaker 7: Who is the.
Speaker 5: Reporter going right? Was he just has a reflexively bad
Speaker 5: thing to say.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: And even though he did kind of follow up, he's like, look,
Speaker 1: I only say that because I don't know what you're saying.
Speaker 1: He did basically like I don't know what you're trying
Speaker 1: to say right now, but change.
Speaker 5: Your change your reflex. Do the barbar like huh, right
Speaker 5: to change the reflex, dude.
Speaker 7: Change it.
Speaker 2: It's better to just be like a Honestly, it'll force
Speaker 2: the person to really have to explain ah or say nothing, right,
Speaker 2: not that. But yeah, again, so he's saying belling Cat,
Speaker 2: which does you know real investigative journalism, they're saying they
Speaker 2: do psyops and it's bullshit.
Speaker 3: It's bullshit that they're trying to say that this is
Speaker 3: a white supremacist.
Speaker 6: What is his horse in this race? Aside from being
Speaker 6: a white supremacist himself, What is it? What is his horse?
Speaker 2: This particular I think probably did not give too much
Speaker 2: momentum to the not even narrative to the reality of
Speaker 2: increasing like extremist violence and the like that these people
Speaker 2: exist and they are they're acting out their ideologies in
Speaker 2: real physical space violently, because I think I don't know
Speaker 2: if he's trying to thread this needle he's like saying, like,
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's like it was a white
Speaker 2: supremacist reason why he shot those people. It might just
Speaker 2: be that he was like a white supremacist and shop
Speaker 2: It's like really not clear. But he's definitely trying to
Speaker 2: like cape for like white supremacy in this very bizarre
Speaker 2: way that's not even really clear to even the interviewer,
Speaker 2: who was.
Speaker 5: Like, okay, right, you know your interviewers like right.
Speaker 1: Right right, right, right right, because you know Hitler was
Speaker 1: correct about what he said, right right, right right and everything.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, that's gonna be the clip you're gonna
Speaker 6: share on social media.
Speaker 1: No way, absolutely not.
Speaker 2: So again, it's a very frustrating interview because he is
Speaker 2: truly just like lost in the sauce his face when
Speaker 2: he was like trying to even explain like the logic
Speaker 2: path of like this Russian account and belling cats. It's
Speaker 2: like he was trying to like do like a thread
Speaker 2: on at thread unrolled, Like please, dude, please unroll this
Speaker 2: Twitter thread in my brain so I can go find
Speaker 2: like the precise clap back reply that I need in here.
Speaker 2: And it's a shame that this didn't get like a
Speaker 2: ton of coverage.
Speaker 1: I mean, you got some coverage, but like I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: the man that owns fucking Twitter is out here showing
Speaker 1: you how vile his fucking beliefs are, like in real,
Speaker 1: like in such.
Speaker 2: A even a way. I don't know why I'm mad.
Speaker 2: I'm like, it's he's not even doing it elegantly. It's
Speaker 2: just like it's just like the raw stupidity of it.
Speaker 2: It just like makes it even more and more frustrating
Speaker 2: to see. And again it haves to be like right rights, Yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, how did they not have support for the claim
Speaker 1: that like they knew he was going to try to
Speaker 1: debunk rather than just being you know, yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean like, I don't even know what you're saying.
Speaker 6: Well, now same to unroll this a little bit because
Speaker 6: I just don't understand. So was was he even being
Speaker 6: asked about this? Because this spread on Twitter? Like why
Speaker 6: is this even something he's talking about?
Speaker 2: He's been like he because he himself has been retweeting
Speaker 2: other accounts that are.
Speaker 6: Catching God got so he's now like he's now like
Speaker 6: pot committed to this like situation where he has to
Speaker 6: defend it, like why are.
Speaker 2: You Yeah, he's like why are you using your platform
Speaker 2: to like see why are these even people? And then
Speaker 2: he's like, well, he's like, well, where did there evid
Speaker 2: it's come from that they were white supremacists.
Speaker 1: The guy who has a sye off company swastika tattoos
Speaker 1: on his arm. Yeah, literally, I don't know that he
Speaker 1: may have had his tattoo artists may have had Glackhomas
Speaker 1: was trying to make a plus sign. I don't know.
Speaker 1: We just don't help. But like the fact that that
Speaker 1: the bolts from the bolts his other tattooer ss bolts.
Speaker 5: Yes, no, those are Celtic runs, you.
Speaker 1: Know, yeah, exactly. No, he's a he's a journeyman.
Speaker 2: Electrician and the ib E w a high voltage logo,
Speaker 2: Like what the fuck up again? And I think the
Speaker 2: reason why this guy was caught off on CNBC is
Speaker 2: because they were on Stonks TV.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: They weren't on MSNBC.
Speaker 2: He wasn't talking like Ben Collins or something like someone
Speaker 2: who's like knows, like it's very well versed in all this.
Speaker 6: You know, Ben Collins is a great example of why
Speaker 6: I think it is overrated to leave twittered indignation, Like
Speaker 6: he's a great example of.
Speaker 1: Why did he leave?
Speaker 7: No, he's there.
Speaker 6: If he left whatever, see is shit right.
Speaker 11: He's always there to just dunk on people and exactly
Speaker 11: always like like help people who are not like terminally
Speaker 11: online like some of us understand like what is actually
Speaker 11: being spoken about?
Speaker 1: So anyway, again, this interview was basically on c CNBC,
Speaker 1: so they're like Then he eventually gets to the money part,
Speaker 1: which is another really interesting moment in this interview. He
Speaker 1: said the big question. He's like for people who love
Speaker 1: Stonks like Tesla and stuff, He's like, what the fuck's
Speaker 1: going on with like Tesla shares and like the way
Speaker 1: you're running Twitter because the businesses are interconnected, whether you
Speaker 1: like it or not. And he's like, and if you
Speaker 1: keep turning Twitter into like an ad repelling website equivalent
Speaker 1: of like christall knocked, Like what are you going to
Speaker 1: how are you going to keep people's money moving? Like
Speaker 1: what do you say to these people who are actually
Speaker 1: worried about the shit that you post and its effect
Speaker 1: on the financials of everything?
Speaker 3: This answer is fucking even.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna play the whole thing because it's this
Speaker 2: is a very like this this man's brain.
Speaker 1: I don't even know I'm.
Speaker 5: Serving me that word salad servant.
Speaker 10: Yeah, god no, I don't want it all, but I'm
Speaker 10: what I'm trying even came up though in the annual meeting.
Speaker 10: I mean, you know, do your tweets hurt the company?
Speaker 10: Are there Tesla owners just saying I don't agree with
Speaker 10: his political position because and I know it because he
Speaker 10: shares so much of it. Or are their advertisers on
Speaker 10: Twitter that Linda Yakarna will come and say you gotta
Speaker 10: stop man, or you know, I can't get these ads
Speaker 10: because of some of the things you tweet.
Speaker 1: Pause bus, He's just looking off into the middle distance booting.
Speaker 3: Does he find it that means, you know, I'm reminded
Speaker 3: of uh.
Speaker 8: Bone Valley seeing the Princess Bride, great movie where he
Speaker 8: confronts the person who killed his father. Okay, he says,
Speaker 8: offer me money.
Speaker 5: Literally, it's not what he says.
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 3: See, you just don't care. Offer me money.
Speaker 10: You want to share what you have to say, I'll.
Speaker 8: Say what I want to say. And if if the
Speaker 8: consequence of that is losing money, so be it.
Speaker 5: Has he ever seen that fucking movie?
Speaker 6: That's literally not He says, my name is in Niggo Montoy.
Speaker 5: I mean, like literally everybody.
Speaker 2: Knows that offer me money. Offer It's like, I don't understand.
Speaker 2: He's basically replying.
Speaker 1: In like gift form. Gift form, Yeah, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 2: It's like, what do you say about that princess Brian
Speaker 2: dot gift?
Speaker 1: It took him a while to find it.
Speaker 2: He was God, he racked his brain for the dumbest response.
Speaker 1: I mean, truly, does he have like an early kind
Speaker 1: of trial version of neuralink going like looked up to
Speaker 1: Twitter and like that's just how badly it works. And
Speaker 1: he was just going through verteen seconds to respond.
Speaker 2: That was a thirteen second fucking pause, he took to say,
Speaker 2: I'm reminded of a scene from Princess Bride.
Speaker 1: What offer me money? Offer me power? I mean that
Speaker 1: couldn't have been the answer that thes were looking.
Speaker 6: For, how fucking Austin would have been because I'm reminded
Speaker 6: of a scene from Princess Bride where in rodents of
Speaker 6: unusual side.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's the thing.
Speaker 1: I think it's also just too these people, especially billionaires, right,
Speaker 1: they're never in environments where people press them or ask
Speaker 1: follow up questions, so when they are, it's like a
Speaker 1: disorienting experience for them. The beginning of the first clip
Speaker 1: where I talked to, where he's talking about bell and
Speaker 1: cap running belling, cap running syops, when he's like when
Speaker 1: the the journalists asking very basic questions of his like
Speaker 1: like Twitter retweets, he's also like almost, I'll just play
Speaker 1: this other section because it truly shows like he is
Speaker 1: not used to being held to account for fucking anything.
Speaker 5: I can't get enough of this.
Speaker 10: Keep going there all in Alan Texas. You say something
Speaker 10: like it might be a bad SYO. I'm not quite
Speaker 10: sure what she meant.
Speaker 4: But.
Speaker 8: Oh, in that particular case, Uh, there was a somehow
Speaker 8: that that's not not not that the that people were killed,
Speaker 8: but the it was I think incorrectly ascribed.
Speaker 1: Like super killed.
Speaker 2: He he his his body language like you know, I'm
Speaker 2: not I'm no body language expert, although I do testify
Speaker 2: at trials as an expert.
Speaker 5: Very scientifically proven to be like legit.
Speaker 1: But it's just interesting how he he like goes he's
Speaker 1: starting like this, and then he just really does get small.
Speaker 3: He's like, oh, right, this thing I did a side, Well,
Speaker 3: it's what I didn't.
Speaker 1: He like tilts his head to the side like a
Speaker 1: dog that like you just spoke a full sentence to
Speaker 1: and the dog doesn't like understand what you're saying. And
Speaker 1: then another pause, another pause, and.
Speaker 3: Then oh that.
Speaker 6: So when you were first talking about this psych was
Speaker 6: coming on the show, I didn't know what we were
Speaker 6: gonna be talking about, and I just quickly googled Elon
Speaker 6: musk C NBC. All of the top headlines I see
Speaker 6: are Elon must tells the NBC he's now up to
Speaker 6: six hours of sleep a night. That was the takeaway
Speaker 6: from this contract.
Speaker 1: What because the mainstream media worships.
Speaker 5: And they and they're waxy a foreheads just.
Speaker 1: Want them to be Tony Stark, real, real Tony Stark.
Speaker 1: That's what they are there to, you know, play a role,
Speaker 1: and a role that the mainstream media isn't interested in
Speaker 1: is like massive billionaire thought leader who is also a Nazi.
Speaker 1: Like they erased that part of Henry Ford's story for
Speaker 1: many years, right, you know.
Speaker 2: And also like that's not a good ad for his
Speaker 2: mental elasticity for someone who supposedly is such a brilliant
Speaker 2: I'm like, this guy took thirteen seconds to say this
Speaker 2: reminds me of the Princess Bride.
Speaker 6: I don't know, and then and then didn't get the
Speaker 6: right line that everybody knows.
Speaker 1: Offer me the thing I don't. I don't care.
Speaker 5: What I want In Nego Montoya.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there was this character a Negro Toyota
Speaker 2: and what he said what anyway, So Emerald boy is
Speaker 2: back at it. But yeah, shout out to everybody who
Speaker 2: was focused on the six hours of Sleep Park.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he needs more apparently, because he's there's
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of years spinning without any
Speaker 1: anything coming out. All right, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. And we're back, Barbie, Chris,
Speaker 1: do you hear that Holy.
Speaker 3: Shit, I've been waiting for this movie finally about Robbie.
Speaker 3: Looks just like Barbie, so it's gonna be great.
Speaker 1: It's exactly like Barbie.
Speaker 2: I just want to bring this up because I myself
Speaker 2: was always like, is the Barbie Girls song gonna ever?
Speaker 2: Buy Aqua ever gonna be in like the Barbie movie?
Speaker 2: That just feels as a millennium like it has to be.
Speaker 2: There's only one Barbie song. The new trailer just came out.
Speaker 2: I've heard you do the screaming about that. Oh, I
Speaker 2: know you want to stop talking about it. Remember we
Speaker 2: had to shelf a whole episode when You're on I
Speaker 2: remember because it's all I was talking about, Like we
Speaker 2: started over because in report it was like, please stop
Speaker 2: talking about fucking.
Speaker 1: Barbie, and I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm so upset.
Speaker 2: But this new this new fucking trailer actually uses the
Speaker 2: track from Aqua in the last couple of seconds, but
Speaker 2: it kind of feels like this sonic the Hedgehog moment,
Speaker 2: where like all of the Internet was like, where the
Speaker 2: fuck is Barbie Girl by Aqua in your marketing?
Speaker 3: This is bullshit?
Speaker 2: And then suddenly you know the studio is just kind
Speaker 2: of like, all right, fine fucking at it in case
Speaker 2: the fans just completely lose it on us, like to
Speaker 2: the point where like one fan just like re edited
Speaker 2: the like the previous trailer to include the song, and
Speaker 2: it was actually.
Speaker 1: Like way better it like it all worked together. But
Speaker 1: it was previously reported that the movie would in no
Speaker 1: uncertain terms, they would not be using the song, and
Speaker 1: Leani Neistrom of the band speculated that it might have
Speaker 1: to It might have been because it was too on
Speaker 1: the nose for the film, although I feel like everything
Speaker 1: about this film has been pretty on the nose.
Speaker 3: Yeah, take the layup. But the whole other thing is
Speaker 3: that apparent where they tracked down Leani Neistrom, you know
Speaker 3: for comment, I mean, who's still living on the side
Speaker 3: of the volcano, probably right next to Leanie Bloomingdale's. We
Speaker 3: caught up with Leani. We caught up with her on Sumatra,
Speaker 3: on the side of her in her treehouse on the
Speaker 3: side of the volcano.
Speaker 2: But the other reason might be because back in the nineties, Mattel,
Speaker 2: the makers of Barbie, they sued Aqua over the song,
Speaker 2: but they lost the case. So in nineteen ninety seven,
Speaker 2: Mattel took Aqua's record label MCA at the time shout
Speaker 2: out When MCA was a Thing to court, alleging that
Speaker 2: the song made quote unauthorized use of the unauthorized use
Speaker 2: of the toy manufacturer's Barbie doll trademarks and likeness, and
Speaker 2: argued that the band the brand was tarnished by lyrics
Speaker 2: that quote associates sexual and other unsavory themes with Mattel's
Speaker 2: Barbie products, because you know, there was stuff like kiss
Speaker 2: me here, touch me there, hanky panky, you can touch,
Speaker 2: you can play, I'm always yours, make me walk, make
Speaker 2: me talk, do whatever you please. I can act like
Speaker 2: a star, I can beg on my knees. You know
Speaker 2: all that The band was saying that, like it was
Speaker 2: actually about plastic surgeries, and some parts were intended as sexual.
Speaker 2: But after the lawsuit, their lords.
Speaker 1: Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up, don't talk
Speaker 1: about that. Don't say anything about the sexual shit, because
Speaker 1: that's they're suing you about. What the fuck was that?
Speaker 1: Oh shit, my own fucking serie just went off.
Speaker 4: Anyway, So then MCA, where can I find a doll
Speaker 4: with conservative, fine family values?
Speaker 1: And then so there was a countersuit filed by MCA records,
Speaker 1: and they said because they said that there, they called
Speaker 1: their quote alleged trademark violation.
Speaker 2: A crime, and they're like, that's bullshit. Things got so
Speaker 2: fucking heated with these two lawsuits that the judge literally
Speaker 2: had to say, this is a quote from the court documents,
Speaker 2: quote the parties are advised to chill. The judge said,
Speaker 2: chill the fuck out to both fucking parties. Just love that.
Speaker 2: That's where the judges gotta chill out. The parties are
Speaker 2: advised to chill. Nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 3: Yeah, before nine to eleven, people were in a better mood.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you ain't hearing that in post eleven.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean that people talking about chill,
Speaker 3: like the chill man, you're advised to chill.
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have not heard that word one since two
Speaker 4: thousand and one.
Speaker 3: It's completely absent from the side.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I guess, I guess September tenth, two thousand
Speaker 2: and one, the last day of chill.
Speaker 3: Well, no, like, you know, like back then, it was
Speaker 3: like this is as bad as it's gonna get. This
Speaker 3: is the future, looks just like it's nothing but Barbie lawsuits.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was at the time.
Speaker 2: I remember I was in law school studying Barbie Law.
Speaker 2: Everything felt like it was going in the right direction.
Speaker 2: Then nine to eleven happened. But both suits were eventually
Speaker 2: thrown out, and Mattel was like, you know, Mattel said
Speaker 2: they were disappointed, and MCA was like.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a victory for free speech. The band
Speaker 1: was just like, this is great publicity.
Speaker 2: But it's just funny that, like, like why they wouldn't
Speaker 2: include the song because when they're saying like, oh, we
Speaker 2: don't like the sexual undertones.
Speaker 1: Like because if you've seen the trailer for the film,
Speaker 1: like there's a whole scene where Ken keep talking about
Speaker 1: beaching guys off and he's like, anyone wants to beat
Speaker 1: him off has to beat me off first, And You're like,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: I keep singing this episode. It's so annoying. You can
Speaker 3: cut it all out. I keep going, I'd never do
Speaker 3: that usually. Have you been doing that? I haven't even noticed. Good, good,
Speaker 3: but I've been doing a bunch. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: But anyway, credit Gerwig, Uh huh, what what is this
Speaker 3: gonna be? What have you? Has anyone ever seen Greta
Speaker 3: Gerwig's other movies. What's gonna happen Like I Barby's gonna
Speaker 3: go Indie.
Speaker 1: Rock, Barbie actually has an existential crisis.
Speaker 3: There's gonna be a Shin song playing during that, so
Speaker 3: upside cut my thumb song new slang, you're gonna play that,
Speaker 3: And Barbie's gonna find out she shouldn't live in her
Speaker 3: dream house and she should be like a volunteer or something.
Speaker 3: That's gonna be some bullshit. Man, this is bullshit. And
Speaker 3: also I'm tired of people being cast in movies that
Speaker 3: look like the people. Why don't we do some casting
Speaker 3: that's interesting.
Speaker 1: So who you should have been? Ken?
Speaker 3: Just anybody? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I like the idea.
Speaker 3: Samuel Jackson, Samuel Jackson as Barbie, sign me up. I mean,
Speaker 3: for real, let's do something interesting, like get somebody who
Speaker 3: looks like Barbie.
Speaker 1: Wait, like Chris, this is your campaign. Sam Jackson should
Speaker 1: be Barbie.
Speaker 3: Everybody. Sam Jackson should be Amelia Earhart. Sam Jackson should
Speaker 3: be everybody, and everybody should do different crazy you know,
Speaker 3: do crazy casting. It's it's the end of the world.
Speaker 3: Let's do some interesting shit, Like we'll get greta girl,
Speaker 3: We'll get Greta Giry, Oh, Greta Gerwig, thinking outside the box,
Speaker 3: decides to get Bargo Robbie because she looks like Barbie
Speaker 3: and she talks like Barbie. It's the worst idea already.
Speaker 3: I don't want to see it. And then I know
Speaker 3: what she's gonna do, because if he saw what was
Speaker 3: the name of that verson No, No ne Nett or something,
Speaker 3: the one who was like her other one about the
Speaker 3: lady had a nervous breakdown and ended up being a
Speaker 3: ballet instructor.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: What that movie that she did called. I know it's
Speaker 3: called Liquors Pizza, the Tangerine Monkey. I hate that movie
Speaker 3: so uh No. The movie that she did last time
Speaker 3: about the woman had a nervous breakdown, it's called like
Speaker 3: on the Edge or like Greta Gerwig goes crazy. What's
Speaker 3: it called? The last one she did? The last one
Speaker 3: she did was hm as a writer about that herself?
Speaker 3: She played herself? Or was it no Bombacks? Was that
Speaker 3: no Bombacks mo movie? I don't know, dude. The movie
Speaker 3: that about the woman, it's called like Parakeet Williams or something.
Speaker 3: It's like it's it's her. She plays a white lady
Speaker 3: whos a nervous breakdown and is saved by like shecomes
Speaker 3: a ballet dancer or something. It doesn't matter. It's gonna
Speaker 3: be like it's gonna be like Amiie all the movies
Speaker 3: I've seen by Greta Gerwig or some variation on OMII,
Speaker 3: which is where some like weird girls like accidentally stumbles
Speaker 3: into a twee existence. And that's's gonna happen to Barbie.
