Summary
America is dealing with a serious problem. A flood of immigrants from Latin America, and if you know anything about Latin Americans, you know exactly what type of people they are. They re nerds. But no, in reality, if you are unfamiliar with this phenomenon, Latin America is shockingly nerdy. When I say nerdy, I mean that in terms of internet usage, when you ask people the percentage of internet users who enjoy anime, the number in Brazil is higher than the percent in Japan.

Hello, Simone. I'm excited to be here with you today.
00:00:11.220
And if you know anything about Latin Americans,
00:00:19.300
But no, in reality, if you are unfamiliar with this phenomenon,
00:00:27.900
When I say shockingly nerdy, well, I can start with a parade
00:00:39.200
Oh, don't forget that in the protests that are taking place right now,
00:00:45.140
Yeah, well, they've been doing that in a lot of countries.
00:00:46.760
Here's a showing of Dragon Ball Z outside in Latin America
00:00:57.900
But if we're talking about specific statistics,
00:01:15.460
when you ask people the percentage of internet users who enjoy anime,
00:01:19.760
the number, the percent in Brazil is higher than the percent in Japan.
00:01:28.700
and we're going to go over why this is after we go over all the statistics,
00:01:33.880
in Brazil, it's between 42 to 45% in recent estimates.
00:02:00.700
and we're going to go over other nerdy hobbies too,
00:02:13.520
than people in the United States or Europe as well.
00:02:29.940
If you look at watch time weekly of anime, right?
00:03:00.040
LATAM has the highest rate anywhere globally, 28%.
00:03:23.620
Spanish dubs make up 40% of viewing on the platform.
00:03:34.520
So more people watch anime on Crunchyroll in Spanish
00:03:42.220
Crunchyroll is a U.S. incorporated entity, right?
00:03:48.300
and it was like, it was in Austin or Texas, I think?
00:03:53.560
If you look at Japanese exports of anime products,
00:04:01.480
you can be like, it's just watching anime, right?
00:04:03.160
Like, it's not actually like nerd culture, okay?
00:04:09.520
So in Brazil, they have like an anime pop culture convention
00:04:31.060
And then, if you're looking at the largest anime-only convention
00:04:40.300
That's Anime Expo, which is 100,000 to 115,000.
00:04:51.020
But if you contrast that with anime friends in Brazil,
00:05:00.000
so what I'm pointing out here is off the charts,
00:05:09.940
what about this video game thing you mentioned here?
00:05:13.020
So if you look at total player count in Latin America,
00:05:16.820
you have a total player count of 372.3 million people.
00:05:30.340
so that means the Latin America has around 67% more players in the United States,
00:05:57.740
This was the only one where they do not appear to be more.
00:06:06.020
and there's some common explanations that I don't really buy.
00:06:10.300
And we'll go on one of these common explanations.
00:06:13.960
And then we'll get into what I actually think caused it.
00:06:16.800
The common explanation that I don't really buy that we'll go deeper on,
00:06:25.700
Latin America was a highly sort of diverse marketplace where you didn't have a
00:06:34.520
they disproportionately bought the rights to anime shows over United States
00:06:39.800
And that led to this really high rate of anime watchership across Latin
00:06:47.460
then why don't we see a similar phenomenon across Southern Europe?
00:06:50.760
Why don't we see a similar phenomenon in Eastern Europe?
00:06:53.880
Why don't we see a similar phenomenon in Africa?
00:06:56.680
Like all of them presumably could have gotten anime cheaper too.
00:07:06.120
You do not see any of these phenomenons mirrored in Southern Europe,
00:07:10.320
where actually anime consumption is lower than Northern Europe.
00:07:13.220
Another country that really surprised me is the largest manga in the world is
00:07:24.260
I think a lot of people like trolled the Vatican for when the Vatican created
00:07:36.200
Like the Vatican comes to town and little Vatican,
00:07:44.360
just because we think the Vatican did one base thing,
00:07:49.000
does not mean that I do not think that they are an institution that is not
00:08:09.580
When people don't understand what we mean when we say that Vatican is the
00:08:13.100
number one like enemy of like good in the world,
00:08:15.780
in the United States and our geopolitical interests,
00:08:26.640
it's so funny how much I like our Catholic fans.
00:08:30.800
you meet somebody who's like a henchman for Hydra and they're like,
00:08:33.680
and they're like really chill and you like hanging out with them.
00:08:50.560
Every large corporation has some corruption at the top.
00:09:30.140
but you've got to keep in mind the context when you're looking at
00:09:32.940
Catholic majority countries like France being the number one
00:09:35.500
consumer of manga or Latin America being these fanatical
00:09:41.500
It might change your mind in terms of how normal these things
00:09:44.760
are in the mindset of a lot of these countries.
00:09:57.080
Like I didn't expect that until we moved there,
00:10:00.380
we just have a ton of Japanese immigrants there.
00:10:06.240
And I just hadn't realized that there was such a big Japanese
00:10:11.640
Brazil had a quote unquote large Japanese immigrant population.
00:10:19.220
if you look at it against the population that existed was in
00:10:27.480
The only country was meaningful immigration when contrasted with
00:10:36.280
the Chinese immigrant population was larger than the Japanese one.
00:10:38.940
That was the dominant immigrant population in Peru.
00:10:47.600
if you were to look at the immigrant population of Japanese immigrants in
00:10:52.820
Brazil and Peru versus the percentage of the population that is
00:11:04.540
I would still guess that there is a higher percentage of Japanese immigrants in
00:11:40.920
So not that different in the U S it's right in the middle there.
00:11:57.560
So we'll go into the standard theory first and then we can go into my theories.
00:12:09.920
when Japan animation was introduced as an affordable alternative to Western cartoons
00:12:13.360
due to budget constraints in local TV production,
00:12:16.000
networks like Mexico's televisionaza and TV Azteca,
00:12:22.680
imported anime series because licensing rights were significantly cheaper than American productions.
00:12:28.960
then president of Televisa famously brought Japanese cartoons in the 1970s as the most cost effective option for filling airtime.
00:12:45.440
unlike in the U S where violent blood and romantic elements were often edited out.
00:12:52.280
and I think is important to note about anime's explosion in Latin America,
00:13:09.380
the largest collector of it is in Peru of like memorabilia for it.
00:13:18.840
It was like Dragon Ball Z or something like that.
00:13:26.880
but when someone staying with us was talking about this really old animated film that she watched called Kung Fu Panda,
00:13:43.060
the 1980s marked a boom with series like Saint Seija dubbed Los Corlarios de Zeldacchio or Ramana one and two,
00:13:55.160
These shows were dubbed into neutral Spanish or Portuguese with opening and ending songs often translated and performed by local artists.
00:14:04.380
Saint Seija's theme was covered by bands like Vaz and remains iconic decades later.
00:14:10.260
it was done by like a winner to like a huge acclaim in Peru on,
00:14:17.000
stars singing show where like you go and you audition.
00:14:23.000
like you have one of those moments where like somebody goes up.
00:14:25.500
I can't remember the one that happened in the UK where there's like ugly fat lady who goes up and sings and everybody loves her.
00:14:30.220
There was somebody going up and singing from an old anime.
00:15:00.940
the 1990s brought explosive growth with dragon ball which aired across the region and inspired
00:15:09.160
generation its success in latem even influenced its revival in the u.s after initial flops there
00:15:14.720
other series like sailor moon inuyasha and naruto followed with minimal changes e.g character names
00:15:21.200
adjusted for pronunciation a key factor in anime's enduring appeal and this is i do think an important
00:15:27.660
thing here so i'll go over the two things that i think were really big one i have actually mentioned
00:15:33.420
in my readout of explanations here but you may not have caught it or realized how different it
00:15:38.420
makes latin america than everywhere else that tried to air anime as cheap alternatives
00:15:42.260
do you know what it was just low cost right i mean like the thing that stood out to me in the things
00:15:50.020
you mentioned was low cost yeah but it should have been about equally low cost anywhere it was airing
00:15:55.220
like southern europe but southern europe had some like great og like illustrated cartoons and stuff
00:16:05.080
for kids as did the united states yeah they did have some because you had like asterisks and like
00:16:10.340
okay so the core thing that was different about the way anime was rolled out during that period
00:16:15.360
in the united states in southern europe in eastern europe and in latin america was twofold
00:16:21.460
the first actually does have to do with cost latin america is not actually a fragmented market
00:16:26.980
it looks like a fragmented market but pretty much everyone there speaks one of two languages
00:16:32.540
spanish or portuguese okay the animates could be dubbed centrally in mexico and just across the
00:16:40.480
region at a cheaper price than you could for example dub into all of southern european okay
00:16:47.320
that makes sense and i think this was by far more important
00:16:53.100
is they didn't censor it at all every other market that anime was dubbed into did heavy censorship from
00:17:03.280
the very beginning and they made it suck more basically like it was better because it wasn't
00:17:08.060
censored and they took out sex they took out you know um and that was always a big part of anime
00:17:14.720
when compared and and so keep in mind you're a young kid in one of these countries right and you
00:17:20.620
can watch american cartoons of that year period or you can watch anime right and so you're comparing
00:17:28.480
it to something like gi joe and you know people actually bleed when they get punched in this one
00:17:33.740
yeah die or people actually like you're is it i remember as a kid how important something being a
00:17:40.360
little edgy was to me and if i had those two things and keep in mind from their perspective
00:17:46.420
these two things are undifferentiated because they are both dubbed into their language right so i've
00:17:51.480
got these two things one just seems neutered and boring in comparison to the other right yeah
00:17:57.380
and also you don't have them really molesting with politics so funimation destroyed anime in the
00:18:03.300
united states oh anime companies should have contracted with funimation huge mistake next which was
00:18:09.940
really important to it becoming as big as it did was its similarities to telenovelas in terms of
00:18:19.140
so in the united states if you've watched like dragon ball z and you were a kid it can be a shocking
00:18:28.460
experience to you because every single effing episode ends with a cliffhanger in a way that
00:18:34.940
american cartoons just don't right yeah they're really a lot more self-contained that's a great
00:18:39.660
point yeah but if you watch to the end of like a dragon ball z episode it's a bunch of drama in a fight
00:18:49.980
right um maybe done with like balls or something and then like talking to each other and like whoa
00:18:55.340
you know but that in in structure really is not that different from the way a telenovela often
00:19:02.380
plays out that's very interesting the center of the conflict being two characters talking at each
00:19:08.780
other about their emotions which is not or or like you killed x person who was my half sister but
00:19:15.900
actually we were lovers and that is very similar to the way anime plays out and then every episode
00:19:23.900
ending was like a oh no can you imagine yeah the the the cliffhanger here and that just was not as
00:19:31.980
jarring to latin american audiences as it was to american audiences and it culturally fit what they were
00:19:37.740
already used to from the native types of storytelling and so if anything the american style storytelling
00:19:45.100
felt much weirder or more boring right so simone i another thing i wanted to talk about on this yeah
00:19:56.140
because we like our primary friend groups are latin american we work at a company like the companies
00:20:00.700
that we run are all based in latin america we used to live in peru i lived in mexico and brazil and
00:20:07.740
costa rica so a lot of latin american countries and i always feel like when i go back it's so funny
00:20:14.860
because like my core like world outside of this podcast is latin american and yet i go to my like
00:20:21.580
reunion at like the gsb and it feels like because they hear about us being like quote unquote great
00:20:27.260
replacement theories and it's like that scene good good i hear you're a racist now father
00:20:33.340
what what how did you get interested in that type of thing you said i'm a racist everyone's saying
00:20:41.660
it father should we all be racist now what's the official line the church is taking on this
00:20:48.380
oh no only the farm takes up most of the day and at night i just like a cup of tea i mightn't
00:20:55.260
be able to devote myself full time to the old racism and i'm like no no that's not me it's
00:21:02.540
it's reports have been grossly exaggerated and then the other part of our fan base is like this
00:21:07.340
lady are you father what oh this is comry good for you father but someone has a gut to stand up to
00:21:16.060
them at last coming over here taking our jobs and our women and acting like they own a second place
00:21:29.180
catholics they invented gayness and and we're like we have to be like no i i think they they
00:21:36.220
may have exaggerated our positions on a few things in that latest piece but anyway the the what i wanted
00:21:43.660
to get to was something i mentioned in another episode where i said that latin america was
00:21:47.260
culturally closer to the u.s than especially mexico i said it's culturally closer to the u.s and many other
00:21:53.660
regions yeah and somebody's like do you want to do a full episode on this and i'm like i don't really
00:21:58.780
want to do a full episode on it but i can go get a bit deeper into it here and this is something that
00:22:03.260
like unless you actually know a lot of latin americans i would not say that you have a lot
00:22:11.020
of opinions on because a lot of people who i know who say that this is not true either have not lived
00:22:15.340
outside the u.s a lot in different regions or they just don't know a lot of latin americans because the
00:22:21.260
things that they cite as being indicative of like the reasons latin americans are incompatible with
00:22:27.180
america are the same stuff that every catholic immigrant population has done in america ever you
00:22:33.820
know if you're talking about the crime wave well so did the irish and the italians you know they
00:22:38.540
mafia and the mob right organized crime was really big in those two countries we have an episode on why
00:22:42.780
it's so common in catholic majority country immigrant populations if if you're talking about them
00:22:47.660
refusing to integrate for a period you know i'd actually argue that the latin american immigrants
00:22:52.780
have integrated significantly faster like maybe twice or three times as fast as either the irish or
00:22:58.220
the italian immigrant waves did yeah that's i think that's fair and and so i just don't think that's
00:23:03.180
that's particularly fair if you look at their countries already their countries very similar to
00:23:08.060
the united states are countries of immigrants i.e you know they came from europe often conquered
00:23:16.860
native populations they are slightly more integrated with those populations in the united states
00:23:21.980
although the extent to which they're integrated with those populations i think is hugely overstated
00:23:26.300
so that they can be treated as bipoc if if you if you and again my pop my perspective on this is
00:23:32.300
always going to be a little uh biased because i'm a seventh generation texan but that means that you
00:23:38.780
know my family was there before and so that means for people who are from texas you you grow up in a
00:23:46.220
country that is already a latin american version of the united states so again that also makes it seem
00:23:52.140
not as distant so so like from my perspective if i'm just comparing them because people were asking
00:23:57.980
me about this they seem more cohesive with a sort of american values and tradition than the italian or
00:24:06.700
irish immigrant waves were yeah the sentence of some of those waves are well this isn't to say that
00:24:11.660
like i i would kick them out but but one of the questions is why are they and i think that part of
00:24:15.740
it is nerdy culture it's a nerdy frontier culture nerdy frontier culture i don't would you consider it
00:24:24.140
a frontier culture i don't know if you want to see a spectacular movie about this period of latin
00:24:29.020
american history watch the mask of zorro they want to destroy america give me the courage the strength
00:24:48.220
yeah it is a frontier culture if you if you there's a great thing that went through all these
00:24:52.140
words that we think of as cowboy words oh yeah that are like super super spanish words
00:24:58.060
for example or there were a ton yeah on on star codex 10 he did like a summary of all of them
00:25:06.060
found it so buckaroo is vaquero cahoots is cohorts vamoose is vamonos or vamoose
00:25:15.100
who's gow is who's gato vittles is victuals or sorry victuals lariat is la riata
00:25:23.260
kimosabe is ke mos sabe he who knows the one who knows most tonto is is dummy mosey is is probably
00:25:33.660
also from vamoose like vamoose you know yeah tarnation was probably just a way to avoid saying
00:25:41.900
damnation so i decided to look up a clip of yosemite sam just to point this out to people
00:25:45.820
in the very first clip i found both has him either saying that most of yosemite sam is taking place
00:25:52.300
in mexico or that he is from mexico because he points out as being from the other side of the
00:25:58.060
rio grande and uses the term hombre to refer to other people for people who don't know that's
00:26:02.940
spanish yeah yosemite sam the roughest toughest he-man stuffest hombre has ever crossed a rio grande
00:26:11.580
posse latin verbal infinitive equals to be able to or have power boondocks is bundok which is tagalog
00:26:21.980
so not spanish but means mountains honcho is actually japanese turns out group leader
00:26:27.900
el legato the lizard became alligator over time savvy is sabe like nose like i know like it's a
00:26:40.300
conjugation of no in in spanish like he knows they know so yeah just tons there some of them are french
00:26:49.100
too but the the vast majority here so the point being is that when you think of the old west when you
00:26:56.060
think of the cowboy archetype about 50 of the cowboy archetype was mexicans yeah mexico yeah
00:27:06.620
this is not to say this wasn't a blended culture with the united states or that you know and i don't
00:27:12.220
ascribe to like the u.s stole mexican land or anything like that it's actually much more complicated
00:27:17.260
than that and there's a longer video i can make on that if people are interested in it yeah but the the
00:27:22.300
wider point here being is that across latin america you're dealing with a culture where the
00:27:27.180
core difference between them in american culture like i'm like where are they culturally different
00:27:32.220
from us pretty much everything that makes them culturally different comes from one of two things
00:27:37.820
slightly higher native population to start and a higher cath and and that they're catholic well and
00:27:44.780
a different language spanish or portuguese yeah but that makes them significantly closer to us
00:27:53.100
than any european immigrant group whether that's irish or german really the only european immigrant
00:27:58.780
group that i guess you could argue is culturally compatible with the u.s would be english because you
00:28:05.660
know at that point you could at least say well they're the same language so even though they're not
00:28:09.020
from a country that was made up of immigrant waves they they came from the seed culture of that
00:28:13.980
country maybe you could say that about germans as well because they were about 50 of like early
00:28:18.860
american immigrants in a lot of regions yeah but outside of that if you're talking about again
00:28:24.860
italian french irish spanish polish immigrant waves they're significantly more culturally distinct from
00:28:32.540
the united states than really any immigrant waves that's coming from latin america i'm not saying
00:28:36.620
this to say indiscriminate latin american immigration is a good thing i have long said i do not think it's
00:28:41.900
a good thing i'm just saying that we also need to be realistic about it especially when we consider
00:28:48.620
our blessing when contrasted with immigrant waves that are heading into europe which are very culturally
00:28:54.460
distinct from them yeah and second i think not understanding the similarities of the latin american
00:29:00.700
immigrant wave into the united states can lead us to making mistakes and act like deporting or dealing
00:29:08.940
with immigrant populations from regions that are not latin america should take equal priority to the
00:29:15.420
latin american immigrant waves which is where you get these you know giant you know caribbean for
00:29:21.820
example immigrant waves into the united states which are much more culturally distinct from the united states
00:29:27.180
than the latin american immigrant waves or immigrant waves from you know refugee populations in like
00:29:32.380
the middle east and people are like oh this is the same as like latin american immigrants it's like
00:29:36.060
no it's not the same as latin american immigrants and so if we're going to begin to recognize again
00:29:41.980
that different populations are actually different and that it is useful for us to understand this when
00:29:47.740
we are talking about immigrant waves and thinking about as i've always said the way i see diversity is that
00:29:53.740
it's like you never want diversity for its own sake but you also probably don't want just
00:30:01.100
the more you're you're probably better with like ingredients on a dish with a few complementary
00:30:07.340
ingredients a dish doesn't get better just because you've added more ingredients right you know some
00:30:12.220
ingredients just don't go with other ingredients and in a a culture where you know it is normal to marry
00:30:18.220
off your daughters at nine maybe doesn't go with a culture where sleeping with a nine-year-old is
00:30:23.260
illegal right like these two things might be culturally incompatible and that however is is not
00:30:30.540
really the case with latin america you don't you don't in the united states you know when you get
00:30:35.180
problems with like immigrant grapists in the united states it's it's literally because these people are
00:30:42.300
criminals where they came from and they're criminals here and the reason why they're able to get away
00:30:47.260
with their crimes is because the democrats are so f pussy footed around actually dealing with
00:30:53.980
criminals if they happen to be immigrants which is bad and and you do need stricter and i and i believe
00:30:59.180
this is true you do need much stricter policing in any region where you have a high proportion of catholic
00:31:05.420
immigrants because they're just more predisposed to criminality that's going to be clipped out but
00:31:10.380
if you look at the early irish waves if you look at the early italian waves how was the crime sprees
00:31:16.540
that came out of those waves dealt with they were dealt with an increase in sort of a police state
00:31:22.140
within those regions and if you look at the period after you have those initial immigrant waves places
00:31:27.500
like new york became something of a police state so i think that that we need to be realistic about why
00:31:33.660
you can't just take any population in whatever you want it wishy-washy you know anyway your thoughts
00:31:39.980
simone on the whole latin america nerd thing or latin america's cultural proximity to the united states
00:31:50.460
i know i muted myself because it's okay if he's crying you can still talk
00:31:55.020
i i like it i i think it's a sign of of greater compatibility plus also i feel like
00:32:01.660
the more nerdy collective is the the more i i'm comfortable trusting them and integrating them
00:32:07.340
into society because obviously we have a very nerd friendly bias here um so i'm all for it i love it
00:32:15.500
and i if i don't i don't know even if it isn't a sign of similarity i would say it's a sign of of
00:32:21.500
favorability yeah well i think that this also really applies with when we were talking about all of the
00:32:27.820
spanish words that are actually we associate with the old west when we talk about potentially
00:32:33.340
integrating a country like mexico um because we mentioned this in another podcast with the
00:32:38.300
revolts that are happening in mexico right now and it would help us a lot in terms of immigrant
00:32:42.780
waves because if you could put the border at the south of mexico it would actually be defensible
00:32:48.540
like that's an actually defensible short choke point if you put the border where we have it now
00:32:54.620
it's like literally comical to attempt to defend it like we we try but there's no way there's no
00:33:00.860
way you can't do it like it's it's it's going to be incredibly porous as it is right now but the
00:33:06.460
reason why mexico is uniquely cogent with u.s cultural history is because it's literally when
00:33:13.260
you're talking about the history of the old west if you're thinking about people in the cowboy hats
00:33:20.380
with the cowboy boots being a cowboy that lifestyle was practiced from the united states well into the
00:33:29.020
region we call mexico today that that is a even just it was just flat out in the region that was
00:33:34.620
mexico and eventually the united states took it and called it but i'm talking about still into the parts
00:33:40.220
that are mexico today sure it's not like it was just the parts that became the united states it was
00:33:45.420
a a culturally like the west was a culturally uniting thing and the core difference between
00:33:51.980
the two cultural groups was one was protestant and one was catholic um and yeah i mean people
00:33:57.500
know my thoughts on that but i i sort of feel like the cat's out of the bag already in the united states
00:34:01.980
with catholic immigrant groups so if if we're not going to oppose that then i don't see the reason to
00:34:09.180
oppose mexican integration i like it i like that you've you've turned your episode on latin american
00:34:17.980
weaves into a and this is why we should integrate with mexico
00:34:26.220
mexico 51st state let's go by the way their fertility rate is already below ours for people who don't know
00:34:32.540
and i also feel like right now like at least gen z in mexico is ready they're they're ready yeah and i would
00:34:38.220
say they're like culturally nothing like the united states i point out they're beating us in obesity
00:34:44.700
right now okay they're more american than americans they're beating us in obesity yeah i thought man we
00:34:51.020
were like we're we're number one we're number one and now we're not anymore we have to integrate them
00:34:55.500
to regain our status regain our status and obesity anyway again i'm not actually pushing for for
00:35:02.620
integration in mexico i i i think it's probably not worth that it would just cost too much i just think
00:35:07.660
right now mexico's way too much of a security liability i i don't i don't think that the
00:35:12.380
gangs are as easy to take out as a lot of people think they are i think that i mean this is a it's
00:35:18.380
a distributed guerrilla insurgency you don't just take that out easily even though we have amazing
00:35:25.020
military might they're very very difficult to take out no more dealing with the the mexican gangs
00:35:31.740
would one because they threaten politicians so frequently you'd basically need to remove democracy
00:35:36.540
from the region for a period and two the war to deal with these gangs would look like what's
00:35:41.900
happening in gaza right now yeah well and also like mexico is a huge country just like to to fully put
00:35:49.420
them down would be much harder than it would be in gaza gaza it's a concentrated very small
00:35:55.260
geographic region like mexico like there's a lot of places to hide i don't i mean it's i i don't know
00:36:04.700
how i would deal with it so it's a very tough there's also a benefit to having mexico on our
00:36:09.100
border that a lot of people don't think about which is doing manufacturing in mexico is artificially
00:36:14.860
cheap because of the gangs really yeah so if you were to set up these days because it's gotten so
00:36:21.420
expensive in china it is cheaper on a on a per labor cost to set up a factory in mexico than it
00:36:27.820
is in china for because of the gangs yeah so mexico should have experienced the same phenomenon china
00:36:35.180
did i mean they've got nafta to their advantage they're right next to us it should be oh to become
00:36:39.660
more expensive but because of the gangs it's artificial wages should have gone up in mexico it
00:36:45.020
should have industrialized but it hasn't been able to because of the gangs
00:36:51.580
that makes sense which again is common historically in most catholic majority countries i mean if you
00:36:58.380
look at the gangs that basically ruled either ireland or italy for periods it was really horrible
00:37:03.660
yeah well at least they have anime okay they have anime all right love you to death
00:37:15.820
i'm gonna join the other room in four minutes i just need to change his diaper and give it so the
00:37:22.060
episode today my my conspiracy theory on people largely agree with you but i now theorize that there's
00:37:30.460
this autist schizo spectrum when it comes to these things where if you are more autistic you're more
00:37:38.940
likely to assume that this is just people being incompetent and just no one really doing their jobs
00:37:46.300
and if you're more on the schizo spectrum you assume that it's a bunch of people she's calling
00:37:50.620
her husband a schizo by the way people here yes i am well i'm gonna need to beat you after this we
00:37:55.900
gotta schedule that because the beatings oh on air and call your husband a schizo
00:38:02.620
well but i completely agree with you i i'm definitely the schizo here and you're definitely
00:38:07.100
the autist here and i think that that's why the the podcast works um because you know people act like
00:38:13.020
we think very similarly but i don't think that we do to be honest no i don't think they i don't think
00:38:18.220
they think that i don't think i think we think super similarly but yeah people people are loving
00:38:23.900
loving your theories oh he's pooping that's why well i was really disappointed that tucker whiffed this
00:38:31.820
one so bad sorry this was filmed a while ago so you're not sure what i'm talking about i'm talking
00:38:35.500
about tucker carlson complaining about epstein something something something is real there was
00:38:41.820
one part of it where he like specifically like that was like almost embarrassingly stupid
00:38:46.860
where he had to bring up that the phone was cracked by uh technology invented by a
00:38:53.580
israeli company oh my gosh gives the screen that look like you know what's up
00:39:00.620
they didn't still control it when the you know the fbi was using it you know
00:39:06.300
oh my god tucker's brain is so cooked we did lose for the first time podcast subscriber like paid
00:39:14.140
subscribers for the for the episode where we suggested cutting off aid to israel as a pass to
00:39:20.140
reduce anti-semitism but you know what you gonna do screw us what i mean i i get it and and people
00:39:30.220
are entitled to pay for what they want to hear so i respect that but thanks to everyone who does
00:39:37.740
support us it makes a huge difference we really appreciate it oh where did you hear that i said
00:39:49.180
who says dang it titan does titan does yeah where did you hear that word
00:40:08.060
from stacy and john yeah from alia yeah which one
00:40:14.220
stacy and john does mommy say dang it yeah no no no no mommy you don't say danger i don't no no
00:40:33.100
i say worse words when i'm angry it's true what what do i say when i'm angry titan
00:40:45.740
you cry i cry yeah oh what do you say when you're angry titan i cry too oh okay
00:41:02.780
because it's it's really important to me that you become a happy shark princess
00:41:13.100
creaky man yeah who's creaky man nobody's creaky man oh then i guess nobody knows creaky man
00:41:21.980
yeah yeah yeah but where does creaky man live well if there is no creaky man i guess he doesn't live
00:41:30.380
anywhere but but where does the creaky man live the creaky man yeah i don't know i don't know about a
00:41:40.940
creaky man maybe there is one but i don't know him do you know the creaky man yeah tell me about him
00:41:48.860
i think the creaky man lives in a cave in a cave that makes a lot of sense yeah
00:41:59.900
it lives in the cave and they're so spooky in the cave hmm that definitely makes sense
00:42:07.260
the creaky man do lives in the cave he do lives in a cave yeah a giant cave yeah does the cave have
00:42:18.300
a refrigerator in it no the giant cave there's nothing in it only creaky man yeah it has a creaky man
00:42:30.940
and that's a pink cave a pink cave yeah where my two favorite goes a pink and purple is it a fabulous cave
00:42:40.220
creaky man yeah yeah pink and purple on the cave so it's a pink cave and it's fabulous creaky man lives
00:42:52.780
in it it does not have a refrigerator yeah aside from creaky man there's nothing else in the cave is
00:42:59.740
there anything else in the cave that's pink and purple yeah what what else is in the cave
00:43:05.340
there might be pink and purple and blue in there what what in there is pink and purple and blue
00:43:13.580
furniture does he have a couch does he have a bed yeah does he have a dog
