Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 108 — Stranger Things = Gay？ College Football, Ruined？ Spotify Wraps？

00:00:00.000 from the age of big brother if they want to get you they'll get you dnsa specifically

00:00:05.980 targets the communications of everyone they're collecting your communications

00:00:10.680 all right welcome to thursday thought crime i'm andrew colvette we've got the crew kind

00:00:26.340 of scattered across the country uh there's danny we got tyler blake we're gonna have jack

00:00:33.420 pasovic joining us in just a few uh but we thought we'd get it started on the proper time

00:00:39.200 is this the proper time i think it's the proper time right it's the new time we can't forget the

00:00:44.240 time we moved the time i'm in a different time zone so that's partly the issue and you know what

00:00:50.040 else you know trips me up although blake you love this is that arizona so now that i'm living in

00:00:57.180 arizona now um they the the whole like never changing the clock so i'm i'm like part of the

00:01:03.920 year you're on pacific time part of the time part of the year we're on god's time god's time and i'm

00:01:10.280 still a little confused about this but blake you keep me you keep me uh straight tyler you're a

00:01:15.500 lifelong arizona do you like that uh yeah i like not changing our clocks but i wish we were pacific

00:01:23.080 time all the time mountain time's great we're only two hours away from the east coast we're not

00:01:28.920 we don't have these big three hour gaps i like having the three hours away from the further we are

00:01:33.660 from the east coast the better on time go to hawaii time and i and i'm i'm a big fan of uh i just

00:01:41.080 like being california like it there's something arizona is definitely more california to me than

00:01:45.920 it is like colorado what about utah utah is more nevada uh yeah utah that is definitely more

00:01:54.700 california utah is just a lot like arizona you guys are making these weird distinctions between

00:01:58.680 states you know what's weird actually is nevada if you're in the south it's more like california if

00:02:03.460 you're in the north it's more like idaho and utah no but i mean that's truth mountain time like

00:02:07.420 utah should be mountain time there's mountain there's like that's like a mountain state arizona

00:02:12.080 is uh i know we we have mountains we have like big mountains but we're not part of the rockies

00:02:17.900 so we should be pacific i mean you know what's the best part of arizona central time is not that bad

00:02:24.220 oh well okay here comes the ohio state guy in between everybody well ohio's on eastern time

00:02:31.460 but central time is chicago you mean texas times yep yeah how many times have we had a time zone

00:02:38.980 discussion you're from michigan yeah sorry i don't i didn't mean to devolve the devolve the

00:02:44.480 conversation in such a way um but i did mention ohio state and i think that's what we want to hit

00:02:49.640 first i mean we have to we have to well so the ohio state yeah so to set this up it's me me yeah

00:02:56.120 oh we we talked about it on uh we actually talked about it on the show today as well but it's very

00:03:01.840 funny because it felt like a super eventful thanksgiving weekend which it was we had the

00:03:06.200 attack in dc we had the somali fraud story really bubbling up the trump administration announcing

00:03:11.180 huge changes to immigration we have uh this escalation of the whole seditious six

00:03:17.440 issue and possible regime change in venezuela and if you take all of those things i don't think any of

00:03:24.000 them were the biggest story for most americans the biggest story for if you're a normal red-blooded

00:03:29.680 probably trump voting american in the middle of the country the biggest story of the weekend

00:03:33.240 is that a college football coach went to a different college and we're talking of course about lane kiffin

00:03:39.940 he's the highly successful coach of the ole miss rebels he coached them all the way to the playoff this

00:03:46.800 year i think it's one of their best results ever and if they get a title i think it'd be i don't have

00:03:51.300 they ever won a title before i have to check ole miss yeah ole miss i don't think so ole miss oh

00:03:58.600 that's an interesting question i don't believe so i think that would be their first ever title and so

00:04:02.220 he had all that success and then he got offered a shinier job at lsu just over the border in

00:04:10.520 louisiana decided it's a nicer program so he skipped town and he went away to it and we've got uh i think

00:04:17.500 we've got like clips of uh of them giving him kind of a you know a single finger send-off and all of

00:04:22.680 that uh so so this blew up and one we can debate the actual story itself and i'm sure you have an

00:04:28.740 opinion on that danny but i also want to debate the state of college football generally and in in honor

00:04:34.120 of charlie who remains a uh oregon ducks fan on assignment with god uh i'm told this is called the

00:04:41.620 duck i called it ducky the duck earlier but i just made that up uh so i he would care charlie

00:04:47.440 would care deeply about the state of college football so he would want us to discuss this

00:04:51.460 yeah yeah that's that's the key here we're doing this like this is a pure ode to charlie because

00:04:58.580 charlie would love this topic and you know that that was what was so great about charlie he was he

00:05:03.840 was like as american as apple pie he was you know like college football that was his thing love the

00:05:09.780 ducks and love talking sports so he used to tell me by the way that if he could do one thing on top

00:05:14.640 of the show that it would be to have just like a sports podcast and then we would talk sports and

00:05:19.500 people would get like we'd get emails in the freedom of charlie kirk.com and they would be like

00:05:22.980 this isn't a sports podcast what are you doing want to hear the news but charlie loved it and he

00:05:27.540 also said and danny will attest if if he ever got out of politics he wanted to be a college football

00:05:32.320 coach true sorry yeah yeah so but this is a story that has captivated the nation to your point blake

00:05:40.140 why what is the story i mean you kind of went through it a little bit but like why has it

00:05:45.260 captivated the nation well so lane kiffin has always been a slightly controversial figure in

00:05:52.600 the realm of college football he's he's been at a lot of different teams he's had more than one

00:05:58.840 awkward departure i'm only i'm mainly an nfl fan i remember him just being a disastrous coach of

00:06:03.520 i think it was the oakland raiders and this was 15 years ago or so but he's

00:06:09.880 an interesting coach he's often villain he's a trump supporter he's a vocal trump supporting coach

00:06:16.440 so you have all these different angles to it and we've had this happen a few times in fact i believe um

00:06:22.880 we've had other coaches the one that i always come at this from the nfl perspective and so

00:06:28.820 i remember uh i'm drawing blank who's who's the famous alabama coach who won five titles nick

00:06:33.780 saban nick saban he bailed on an nfl team i believe to go to alabama there was another coach

00:06:40.380 miami he was on the miami dolphins and he skipped town what was it that was that was really bad no

00:06:47.260 no i think nick saban was the one who left yeah he was at the miami dolphins yeah this was a falcons

00:06:53.180 coach it was a falcons coach who bailed um that was bobby petrino yes bobby petrino he skipped town

00:07:01.120 on the atlanta falcons after michael vick got arrested for dog fighting and that team was

00:07:06.520 clearly cooked and i think he said he was sticking around and then just kidding and he bailed so we

00:07:12.020 actually have a long history of coaches jumping from one role to another but and certainly in college

00:07:17.900 football a very successful coach at a smaller program is routinely promoted up to a bigger one

00:07:25.560 so we've had guys who are in division two go division one we've had those coaches at the fcs level rise up

00:07:31.800 to the bowl level but i think this one stands out the most actually because it still is another

00:07:38.080 competitive program it's one that has some pride and some history and you just have this purely

00:07:45.260 mercenary angle to it of i have decided this program is just slightly cooler and slightly better

00:07:52.280 and i'm just gonna take i'm gonna take the money and i'm gonna take the status and bolt to it but

00:07:57.080 you probably follow this the most danny so what do you make of all this yeah i mean the craziest thing

00:08:01.580 of all this is lane kiffin didn't address his team when he left um so he just left and he never told

00:08:07.720 like the players privately beforehand so apparently they all found out from uh the administration

00:08:13.400 everybody else at the same time so that's kind of what made this even bigger and what blew up among

00:08:18.720 the fans and then the players started like coming out and tweeting at lane kiffin um that he never

00:08:24.900 like talked to him so that made it even worse but knowing lane kiffin that's probably like

00:08:29.360 really on brand for him uh this is totally lane kiffin this is like yeah this is so lane kiffin

00:08:36.680 lane kiffin thing that's ever but lsu lsu actually plays at ole miss next year so that's gonna be

00:08:44.540 quite the game now it's gonna be huge well go ahead tyler oh i was just gonna say uh i i was really

00:08:52.640 interested to watch on x like how lsu fans reacted to this because it tells you a lot about lsu fans

00:09:00.820 because all of them were like really excited about it and like i mean that's such like a dirty way

00:09:06.840 to like have that this all go down this whole thing and his and his statement did we but did we

00:09:13.200 throw up his statement his statement was like so bs it's like oh i haven't even read it i want to know

00:09:19.120 what it is oh you didn't read his statement oh man it's a tweet let's bring it up here lane kiffin's

00:09:23.560 tweet is like such bs and it's like if i was i mean look i mean this is like one of the dirtiest

00:09:29.360 things ever happened to ole miss and it's a lose-lose for ole miss now at this point because

00:09:33.920 what do you mean explain that well if they go if they go and win right because they have a good team

00:09:42.080 like which they're not going to they're not going to like they're not going to win a national

00:09:45.080 championship but like if they do make it there's going to be like all these questions surrounding

00:09:51.900 like coaching and like they probably need a better situation coach wise than what they're going

00:09:59.220 to be dealt with for the remainder of the season they're not going to make it to the national

00:10:03.040 championship but like let's imagine they make to the national championship and their best case

00:10:08.000 scenario and they lose which is probably the best case scenario like this is going to live in infamy

00:10:12.840 for forever even if they get knocked out in the first game in the in the playoff like lane kiffin's

00:10:19.680 going to become like the most hated man like south of the mason dixon line like he is no he already is

00:10:26.020 check this out tyler uh throw up 354 this this is actually like a true story lane kiffin claims

00:10:32.180 ole miss fan tried to run him off the road so when he goes into oxford he's like legit going to need a

00:10:38.640 full detail security they're going to have to like sneak him into the venue what is like what are they

00:10:43.660 going to do when he's on the sideline you know like people are going to start throwing bottles at him

00:10:48.220 andrew we had for our our tour stop so that the charlie memorial tour stop here this last

00:10:54.420 the entire stadium basketball stadium was full of students yeah that wasn't even adults yeah it was

00:11:00.400 10 000 10 000 and by the way we had over 50 of that uh of that school uh enrollment had registered for

00:11:09.720 that event they should 50 of the entire enrolled student body registered for the the memorial

00:11:14.460 they were all like they show up and they're enthusiastic crew man they were really enthusiastic

00:11:20.880 dude i would not want to be lane kiffin dealing with that like they're like he's gonna he he's

00:11:25.760 gonna walk in there well next year like that's great i want to go like we should go that would be

00:11:33.000 fun actually that would be really fun he's probably gonna walk in with not a great record either but

00:11:37.760 we i bet with our turning point chapter there we could do a heck of a like a game day college game day

00:11:42.560 event there we should actually really do this uh here's the here's the uh here's the statement

00:11:47.880 from lane kiffin he posted this on x he said after a lot of prayer and time spent with family

00:11:52.300 i made the difficult decision to accept the head coaching position at lsu i was hoping

00:11:56.740 to complete a historic six season run with this year's team by leading old miss through the playoffs

00:12:01.360 capitalizing on the team's incredible success and their commitment to finish strong and investing

00:12:06.440 everything into a playoff run with guardrails in place to protect the program

00:12:09.820 in any areas of concern my request to do so was denied by keith carter always making an enemy out

00:12:15.820 of somebody here despite the team also asking him to allow me to keep coaching them so they could

00:12:20.320 better maintain their high level performance unfortunately that means friday's egg bowl was

00:12:24.580 my last game coaching the rebels while i'm looking forward to a new start with a unique opportunity

00:12:29.460 lsu i will forever cherish the incredible six years i spent with old miss and will be rooting hard

00:12:33.420 for the team to compete their complete their mission and bring a championship to a great part of this a

00:12:37.340 great part of this is the players have already come out to say that it's total bs when he says the team

00:12:42.000 wanted him to keep coaching uh bryson sanders said he has this quote despite the team asking me to keep

00:12:47.680 coaching i think everyone that was in the room would disagree and then another guy here uh son son

00:12:55.500 son tureen perkins they have new names every year in this thing he says that was not the message you said

00:13:01.840 in the meeting room everyone that was there can vouch on this so we already have the players calling

00:13:07.360 lane kiffin a liar uh it seems pretty sinister what's funny to me as a guy who's more into the nfl though

00:13:14.140 is just so he seems it's villainous that he basically just bolted to go take what he thought

00:13:20.980 was a better deal at lsu and didn't stick around but isn't that basically the highest value of college

00:13:26.260 football at this point every single college player you can get paid now so the amateur sports aspect

00:13:31.920 is is dead and you can transfer without any serious penalties we just have the transfer portal

00:13:39.780 so aren't we effectively at the point where it's just why wouldn't a coach be any different if

00:13:45.080 anything at least the coach has to sign a multi-year deal the players don't every player is basically a

00:13:49.460 one-year free agent college football prove me wrong college football is just a more mercenary

00:13:54.660 more more bloodthirsty more out-for-yourself version of the nfl they have switched places

00:14:01.280 well i totally agree greed is go ahead go ahead danny i want to hear from you well i want to hear

00:14:07.220 from you go ahead better college football is so much better than the nfl because you get true rivalries

00:14:11.960 you get true underdogs you did you don't did have true rivalries now there you still have that

00:14:17.680 ohio state michigan still the best rivalry in all sports it's not even a question and uh the ohio

00:14:24.300 state i thought yeah the ohio state in front of it yeah well i i reserved the right i don't need

00:14:29.220 the d if i went there um i'm just making that's the rule i'm coming up with yeah i get options but

00:14:34.620 there's real real rivalries there's real underdogs there's no underdog in the nfl everybody's a

00:14:40.960 professional it's like it college professionals in college now no no the team spirit and the crowds

00:14:48.220 in college are also way more rowdy which bring makes the game so much more enjoyable to watch

00:14:53.840 and be there it's just second to none to the nfl it's just kind of whatever by the way real quick

00:14:58.780 cade cade kaufman regular regular commenter regular don't he donated two bucks and he says my grandpa

00:15:03.940 is a massive ole miss fan and he was not happy that is to say the least it seems the state of

00:15:10.900 mississippi they are well they're called the rebels they're in revolt again they're in revolt against

00:15:16.060 against louisiana by the way isn't that a funny thing that you just brought up like okay so we

00:15:22.640 have to change the name of the redskins we have to change the name of the indians but like somehow

00:15:28.800 the rebels have gotten off completely scot-free i guess maybe because they know that they didn't

00:15:32.500 it's uh florida state if you look florida state still has the the guy in the red face paint riding

00:15:38.360 with the yeah with the seminal with the spear on fire and they throw it into the midfield it's pretty

00:15:44.000 sweet which is bad it was just i was gonna i was i was gonna throw out a quasi square word but that's

00:15:50.280 that's not charlie's mode which is super cool which is actually really a great thing and like

00:15:55.760 you know what's so funny about this is you're celebrating warrior culture for native americans

00:16:00.000 and somehow that became a bad thing anyways but the point is that i think it's fascinating that you

00:16:04.140 know the rebels get to celebrate you know sparking a civil war and nobody's like nobody even blinks

00:16:11.120 about the name i i'm not in favor of getting rid of that that's actually not true you see that's

00:16:14.800 part of why that's actually why they've tried to get rid of it yeah no it's actually one of the

00:16:19.200 reasons i would say this was pointed out by uh by scott greer in an essay where he was talking about

00:16:24.340 the messy state of college football so i want to shout that out he pointed out so this is a good

00:16:29.940 example of how college football has actually been corroded and corrupted over time that so this team

00:16:36.240 people let's be frank they used to wave confederate flags at old missus stadium all the time and they

00:16:40.580 used to have the confederate flag in the mississippi state flag um but they banned them not even just

00:16:45.540 discouraged they have banned them they used to play dixie regularly at old miss games they got rid of

00:16:50.700 that they used to have this colonel rebb mascot who looked like this old confederate officer guy

00:16:56.800 they got rid of him and yeah they got rid of colonel rebb the university was a key player now now

00:17:02.120 they're see if you guys can get this their freaking new uh mascot is tony the land shark yeah that's

00:17:08.480 what i think of so i think of when i hear the word rebel a land shark and then the state actually

00:17:13.660 the university played a huge role in campaigning yeah that's that's uh you have to bring up johnny

00:17:20.000 no one can see what that is yeah tyler but colonel rebb was like the one of the best mascots

00:17:27.080 yeah it was a great mascot it's iconic it's regional it's a real regional mascot i'm a yankee

00:17:32.540 like colonel rebb like the actual mascot that they used to have him dressed like it's incredible

00:17:38.340 yeah it's great but they killed it and they're not bringing it back and the state you know the

00:17:43.540 university played a key role in them changing the state flag they basically said we need to change

00:17:49.260 the state flag to get better recruits and get in more national football games so it really is

00:17:55.580 everyone wants to celebrate the rivalries they want to celebrate the traditions in college football

00:18:00.260 but it seems like all of those traditions get thrown out pretty quickly when there's slightly

00:18:06.100 more money to be made for your program and okay we have a we have a term for that it's just you're

00:18:11.140 a professional sports league and i i think it's a sad sad state of affairs there he is

00:18:18.100 it's like blake with a hat blake blake needs to grow out that mustache uh i don't think i could grow

00:18:26.800 that mustache i don't have the power to look like i'm a prussian aristocrat yeah yeah yeah you

00:18:32.360 the vladimir but mine wouldn't be like white like that what were you gonna say danny well one of the

00:18:39.300 reasons that lane kiffin like this problem is that he wasn't allowed to keep coaching is because the

00:18:43.500 school didn't want him to keep poaching his players to bring them to lsu um so they basically

00:18:50.180 said you're done coaching because they didn't want him around the program to take basically half

00:18:54.200 half the old miss team with him to lsu so in that sense it i mean the transfer portal has ruined

00:19:00.140 some of college football in terms of roster management but the the traditions of rivalries

00:19:06.780 i think are still there all right no they're they're fading they're degrading here's the sad truth here's

00:19:11.860 the sad truth about college football danny that you're gonna have to come to grips with is that i agree

00:19:16.700 with blake it's basically more cutthroat and more greedy and more driven by by the by money i think

00:19:25.400 and this is the funny thing that then the nfl this is the funny thing about college football is the fans

00:19:30.500 don't want to admit it they do not want to come to grips with the fact that college football is purely

00:19:36.780 driven this is why pack the pack 12 doesn't exist anymore this is this is why you have west coast

00:19:42.340 teams playing in east coast leagues i mean everything is why we have the 12 the 12 team

00:19:47.940 college playoff this is the root of every new change and every disruption in college football

00:19:53.440 and the schools they realize that this is a huge money maker so they're the ones that have are trying

00:19:58.660 to make sure that they get in with the ones that have a lot more so that they you know they they

00:20:03.300 continue making more money it's a revenue game but the fans don't want to admit it we we do want to

00:20:08.640 give charlie his word on this so we talked about rivalries let's go we were talking about this is

00:20:14.320 when we were talking about another actual topic the pledge on whether you can uh you know what

00:20:19.680 whether you should avoid watching the nfl i think was one of the components of it but let's uh play

00:20:24.340 charlie on college rivalries 355 can we talk about this can we talk about the by the way i i hate uw

00:20:32.740 more than i probably hate stalin okay and i can't believe you're a ducks fan like the odds of this

00:20:39.720 like happening that when i work together for this many and you're a ducks fan better yet andrew was

00:20:46.700 into it so half of me was like oh my gosh the trolling that i would have over this would be and

00:20:52.840 like and but yet even with that i said i actually feel really bad

00:20:57.200 oh man i miss him i miss him and i miss i miss how i would make fun of him and tease him

00:21:04.800 when the ducks would like flop in the playoffs again this year it would be fun are they contenders

00:21:09.840 for the playoffs i think they are oh yeah yeah oh yeah i was really pulling for what's their record

00:21:14.380 at are they at one loss or two danny yeah they're 11 they're 11 and one they're they're a lot i was

00:21:19.940 really pulling for who did they lost to indiana right yeah i should have been i should have been

00:21:25.760 rooted against oregon i i really i but my natural instinct is automatically to root against oregon

00:21:31.640 like every time like and now i'm like feel very very conflicted like in honor of charlie

00:21:37.920 but like my natural go-to is like as a pack 12 as an asu fan is like oregon just beat the living

00:21:45.140 crap out of us for so long that it's just yeah so hard all right i think danny do you have to do we

00:21:49.360 have a heart out for you here yeah i'm all right all right well we'll bid farewell to danny

00:21:55.420 and while we wait for uh i think jack is going to join us we do have another uh we have another

00:22:00.920 rumble rant but and i want to respond to it uh i think hopefully one of us can answer this this is

00:22:05.860 from kairi mcallen who says hey guys what are the odds someone on the waiting list for amfest will

00:22:11.380 still get word a spot has opened because if there's no longer hope i need to cancel my airbnb

00:22:17.220 do tyler or andrew do you guys know the status on on waitlist stuff that is a really good question

00:22:24.640 that that was a great question before i'll ask yeah it's i think it's just the events email

00:22:30.480 events at tpsa.com i feel i feel really sad because i know one of our people uh had mentioned last week

00:22:39.280 they want they had they had a ticket that they wanted to donate i believe because they couldn't

00:22:43.920 make it but i guess that wasn't a possible change that we could make at this late stage of the game

00:22:49.500 it's it's too bad but it's difficult because i know tickets are tied to individual people

00:22:54.000 and uh they don't want to let get that all messed up but thank you regardless kairi for being a

00:23:01.160 supporter we uh yeah here i'm asking the events team right now and one of them is writing back i see i see

00:23:08.760 the the typing happening uh so hopefully we'll know it and please forgive us this year because

00:23:14.580 amfest obviously with everything that happened i mean it just uh it just oh i got an i got an email

00:23:21.020 here everyone was emailed that it won't happen and they'll get a discount code for 2026

00:23:26.260 all righty okay yeah we we feel really bad like andrew i'm echoing this too uh we have the absolute

00:23:33.420 largest possible venue that we have in the state of arizona uh we have we have maxed out the maximum

00:23:39.800 capacity that's there uh we appreciate everybody and we're so sad that um you know people can't

00:23:47.100 they can't make it but this is a good reason it's like get your tickets early you know be there and

00:23:52.480 plan to be there for next year in particular because it's uh it's going to get big and we have

00:23:57.420 actually a special announcement i think that's coming for not next year but the year following too

00:24:02.920 we're making a two-year in advance announcement they're they're they're going big the events

00:24:07.400 team is going huge and it's going to keep asking we're going we're going to use the way we'll have

00:24:12.780 our speaker announcements for two years in advance so you will know who the biggest celebrities will

00:24:16.840 be on the right two years from now it'll be like a time portal into the future uh we have some people

00:24:22.800 responding to the the college football topic i liked uh unashamed unashamed girl for him says i hated

00:24:29.720 that they added the money aspect to college college was way college football was way better

00:24:33.840 before that they should be playing for the love of the game not of money and i get the appeal of that

00:24:39.980 i think the biggest problem was it became about money for everyone else the coaches were making

00:24:44.540 millions of dollars the assistant coaches could make millions of dollars the broadcasters were making

00:24:49.500 billions of dollars the schools were making millions of dollars so why were the players to some

00:24:56.040 extent just cattle practically who they were just a tool who could get plugged in and yeah they could

00:25:02.280 get they had the scholarship aspect of it but even that is like so corroded at this point being a student

00:25:09.100 athlete is in a lot of schools it's practically a joke you can go to special separate classes for the

00:25:16.040 athletes with special tutors they make sure you don't have to work too hard or have to know how to

00:25:21.720 read as much as everyone else and it's turned it all into a joke and that's always been one of my

00:25:27.080 problems with college football as an idea is it's over time it's turned our colleges into mockeries of

00:25:33.340 what they're intended to be a lot of these are state funded taxpayer funded institutions well blake i have

00:25:40.460 a question maybe you know the answer if not we can look it up is so now that you know say say uh archie

00:25:45.420 manning who's getting paid apparently like 10 million dollars it's the highest paid player in college

00:25:51.020 football say he doesn't pass his grades you know there used to be a clause that if you didn't get

00:25:57.680 passing grades you would get you you got sat you know on sunday or saturday rather is that still a

00:26:03.740 thing archie manning 10 million dollar man if he doesn't i believe it still is academics i believe

00:26:08.800 it still is the rule but the the deal is is that they have uh okay if if the rule is that you have to

00:26:16.460 pass your grades but there's so much writing on this well we can't allow those grades to get into

00:26:20.980 the way and so that's why they have those systems where okay here's special classes you can take

00:26:25.760 we're gonna make sure wink wink nudge nudge they're not too difficult here's some special tutors wink

00:26:31.160 wink nudge nudge they might really really help you with your academic work this happens a lot there we

00:26:36.360 have one scandal after another i i remember for college basketball there was a school i think it was

00:26:41.460 danny's beloved ohio state but i might misremember where basketball players could take basketball as

00:26:47.220 a class for credit and i believe you could take it multiple times uh infamously the uh instructor for

00:26:53.800 this class they had a quiz where it included the question how many points is a three-point basket worth

00:26:59.780 and that's extreme cases there are players who do make the most of the college opportunities they get

00:27:06.880 from going there for free but the temptation is always going to be towards diluting it towards

00:27:11.940 making it meaningless towards just maximizing the money making aspect of it and i don't have a problem

00:27:17.420 with that in pro sports i think it's weird that we do this with our taxpayer funded institutions

00:27:24.140 so they academic academic eligibility is still required to compete in college sports uh to maintain

00:27:32.420 their nil opportunity so it's actually tied to their paycheck so they have to complete a specific

00:27:39.660 number of ncaa approved core courses and they must maintain a minimum gpa for division one athletes of

00:27:46.360 2.3 and they must be making reasonable progress uh to award a degree each semester typically measured by

00:27:54.360 completing a certain number of credits so that is so they have a credit requirement they have a gpa

00:27:59.340 requirement and it's tied to their nil opportunities so fair enough all right all right we're still

00:28:07.200 waiting on jack so how about we how about we jump into because i don't think jack had a funny take on

00:28:12.200 this but we have uh spotify does this annual wrap up or spotify wraps they call it and i know both of you

00:28:21.680 two have you looked at yours and you have what your most your most listened to music is and we're going

00:28:28.440 to force you to reveal it i tyler i think yours is less embarrassing than mine so why don't you stop

00:28:36.060 why don't you start with what you have to reveal you have to reveal your spotify wrap no i i don't

00:28:42.080 know i thought you're it says on here oh i'm first yeah you've got to reveal it bro yeah mine's kind

00:28:47.160 of embarrassing though yeah that's why we're making you reveal it all right fine put it mine is more

00:28:51.300 embarrassing fine i'll go first okay no yours is yours is not yours is nice andrew that yours actually

00:28:57.700 looked like mine last year and then i did made it i made a cognizant decision to change how uh who

00:29:03.620 controlled the audio of my car no so here here's the backstory with mine we have one account because

00:29:11.580 like you they keep advertising to us i don't want no don't you don't get to justify it first we have

00:29:15.820 to reveal it first then you can make your excuses let's reveal let's reveal andrew's his spotify rap

00:29:22.960 let's got it i think it's 350 we have a collage for this let's show it what is andrew's most listened

00:29:29.500 to song oh it's really zoomed out you gotta zoom in on these things i can't see that that's really

00:29:36.620 tiny you guys got to make it bigger images but luckily i prepared for this so i already know what

00:29:43.000 is number one is and it is k-pop demon hunters yeah i mean yeah the reality though is that k-pop

00:29:50.600 demon hunters is actually andrew not his kids yeah yeah exactly okay we all know how if i if i admit

00:29:58.040 that i know like basically all the words at this point uh yeah it was funny because uh faz was like

00:30:03.160 dude i had to outlaw k-pop demon hunters from our house because we had you didn't you didn't outlaw

00:30:08.840 andrew who's to say i didn't at this point you know mine's the same andrew it's fallen off it's

00:30:14.200 fallen off because they're one of the pages they do they they show you which ones you're listening

00:30:18.600 to at different times k-pop is no longer and it's still overall for the year it's number one but uh

00:30:24.920 that's only slightly less embarrassing than moana too being our number two most listened to album and

00:30:32.600 then mufasa the lion king wrapping up the top three but i will say i got morgan wallen and forrest

00:30:39.800 frank child of god too uh rounding out the top the top five is is morgan wall on your wife's or yours

00:30:46.360 though no it's more me i'm i grew up listening to country music so i yeah charlie and i never saw eye

00:30:51.800 to eye on this he hated country music i hate uh i think he liked that it was kind of american and and

00:30:58.040 mostly a conservative fan base and that sort of thing but couldn't stand the sound so uh but i was

00:31:03.880 always like charlie you just you just don't know you just don't know uh how good it is your your top

00:31:09.640 podcast was garden keeper gus is this a is this a children's book is it like a radio drama it's very

00:31:17.400 calming and soothing so when they are freaking out in the back of the car they're calm you listen to

00:31:23.400 garden keeper gus and they listen to a story and we turn the speakers we we we set the balance into

00:31:30.520 the back into the back seats so that we don't have to so we can actually have a conversation among adults

00:31:35.880 and they can listen to their podcast that's the that's the strategy come on tyler back me up blake

00:31:39.960 doesn't have any kids that's a uh spotify original no my kids in the car they make me turn on uh

00:31:46.840 uh the uh road trip trivia podcast it's not on spotify trivia podcast yeah road trip trivia

00:31:55.800 it's these two moms and it's it's very interactive so i every time i get in the car they immediately

00:32:02.760 go straight to it so i actually might turn on garden keeper gus and just like put him to sleep in

00:32:08.120 the back of the car i mean that's good if you can put your kids to sleep all right so i think we're

00:32:12.040 still do we have uh jack ready to join he can join but we still have to make sure we're gonna we're

00:32:16.920 gonna do jack we're gonna do tyler's reveal and then bring jack on okay all right all right well

00:32:22.120 we're gonna humiliate you before jack gets here then tyler so tyler what is what's let's put up 349

00:32:27.720 except i'm still not going to be able to see it i bet what's yours oh your top genre is screamo

00:32:33.320 i'm not embarrassed i'm zero percent uh embarrassed by this at all and and mine last year actually was

00:32:41.240 all kids stuff just like andrew's was and then i'm we made the we made the change so now they have an

00:32:46.520 ipad in the back that that connects to the to the radio so they get to use that screamo yeah i have

00:32:53.000 your top your top song well give me give us a screamo song they have to play one of these screamo songs

00:32:57.560 yeah but no but this is the thing though my top yeah my top artists none of them are screamo it's

00:33:03.720 yellow card i think i had on there uh death cab for cutie like that's not that's like it's just like

00:33:10.360 emo lewis the child is great jack's mannequin which is like probably my i haven't even heard of most of

00:33:17.720 these bands you haven't the ataris no i've never heard of them i've never heard of louis the child

00:33:23.480 i've never heard of jack's mannequin i've heard of death cab for cutie wait you guys haven't heard

00:33:28.360 of any of these guys death cab yellow card i've probably heard of but i've couldn't have told

00:33:32.920 you what genre they are oh it's good stuff screamo ed are you just listening to trance music while

00:33:39.080 driving as long as you comment on it we're good this is this is jack's mannequin this is jack's mannequin

00:33:46.680 okay do we have one of the screamo songs he likes we need it what's your favorite screamo song see

00:33:50.360 that's the thing well then tyler should have listened to screamo i'm being told the best we

00:33:57.560 don't play it on the show but the best era driven screamo that i listened to for my era was taking

00:34:03.400 back sunday was cute without the cut from the team do we can we throw that out you guys you guys have to

00:34:11.480 know this song cute without the e cut from the team what what the cute without the e yeah that's the

00:34:19.000 the name of the song that's the same you haven't heard you haven't heard of i've never heard of

00:34:23.160 this in my life you haven't heard of taking back all all music for me was violently killed in 1991

00:34:28.040 when nevermind came out and that's that are we getting that there are we getting it

00:34:38.280 is this is this your music this is okay so you just listen to like a tony hawks pro skater

00:34:43.080 soundtrack yeah that's right does our audience remember tony hawks pro skater on the n64 we had

00:34:48.280 we had all that stuff that's wait this is this is the chorus you ready

00:34:55.960 see emo and screamo in the 2000s was very normal it was very normalized by like skating

00:35:04.360 and surfing and snowboarding yeah it was very normalized it was a lot of things were normalized in

00:35:09.880 the 2000s so like kind of like skaters like and skater trash and fake skater trash um yeah

00:35:16.040 very i uh you know yellow card has made a big comeback they've done like a world tour and stuff

00:35:21.400 they were number one this month yeah really yeah they got they got a song to number one

00:35:28.120 i knew that they were uh i knew that they were uh making a big comeback uh people people like when

00:35:34.200 bands have those kind of revival tours it's very interesting to me it's like you listen to these

00:35:40.120 bands when you're young and then you get a little bit older and then they they go on tour again they

00:35:44.360 reform the band and then their fans have all this money so then they just buy tons of merch and they

00:35:49.880 buy more expensive tickets and they fill out these arenas you you really do have this kind of like

00:35:54.440 second wave career if you're if you're a youth culture band it's fascinating

00:35:59.560 yeah uh i you know i actually have a good yellow card story so yellow card in high school when i was

00:36:06.760 in high school i worked at target and so after school i would go work at target as like a like

00:36:12.600 i used to like check out as like a lane guy or a guest services guy and a girl worked with me and we i

00:36:20.040 gave her uh my yellow card cd to to remember you used to burn cds yeah yeah yeah i don't think i ever

00:36:28.520 i think i had my uncle do that and i had him send me appetite for destruction so you'd buy the one

00:36:33.240 person would buy the cd and then you'd like illegally burn it and like like duplicate it at home like a

00:36:38.680 thousand times and so i always would get the cds what because i worked at target so i got to see

00:36:44.840 it everyone burn it so this girl burned the cd and the reason why she did because she really liked

00:36:50.920 yellow card because she was a violinist because yellow card is violin punk so they have a violin violin

00:36:56.040 yeah it's like a punk i thought punk was supposed to be violent not violin no it's very it's very

00:37:01.240 pop punk with a violin and her name was lindsey sterling who ended up becoming a very famous

00:37:07.160 violinist if you've ever heard oh that's that's pretty cool that's pretty cool i still don't get

00:37:10.840 how that's punk but but we worked together at target and she burned my yellow card cd all righty

00:37:16.040 okay okay poso is beating down the door and by the way the reason you can't see my

00:37:19.960 spotify rap is because as per my declared uh state i don't subscribe to anything so i don't

00:37:26.440 have spotify i don't follow any streaming services and so none of them can produce a yearly wrap up of

00:37:32.520 what i'm listening to when she worked at target you have no good stories you know you have no we have

00:37:40.440 nothing no content because blake doesn't subscribe you cannot get anything and he can't even he can't

00:37:46.200 even participate in this next topic either because he doesn't exactly but we're going to do it anyway

00:37:49.960 because i have i have a big picture idea about it no uh wait we have we do have jack he is a topic

00:37:54.280 he really really wanted to hit but we need a video to set it up and so prepare yourself this might be

00:37:59.720 a little bit in the entire in the entire country i mean i mean it doesn't surprise me that it wouldn't

00:38:03.080 be on blake's radar but like literally everyone else in the country is talking about it yeah exactly

00:38:07.400 but i won't because i keep myself pure and immune but we have this video we need to play

00:38:12.680 because he's a virgin it's setting it up and so it is a clip three three three

00:38:30.680 but it's the book three three three three three three three four six six six six six seven six six seven seven 16 five five seven eight eight eight seven six eight seven seven seven seven eight six six six seven seven U. Tom

00:38:38.820 So

00:38:39.380 long last

00:38:42.260 we can begin

00:38:44.940 努ât

00:38:53.600 good

00:38:58.260 good

00:38:59.480 tell

00:38:59.560 You and I, we are going to do such beautiful things together, William.

00:39:22.320 Such beautiful things.

00:39:29.560 Okay, so before you say anything, Jack, can I say this?

00:39:48.420 When Jack brought this up originally and tweeted about this, I thought he was being overdramatic

00:39:53.460 and I was like, this is like, this seems like it's way over dramatized.

00:39:59.560 It gets overly dramatic often, but sometimes all the pop stuff can happen and so I'm like,

00:40:05.620 I'm going to sit down and watch this and I watched it and I was actually, I thought that

00:40:10.440 Jack didn't go hard enough on this.

00:40:12.480 Well, so let's explain what we're talking about first.

00:40:15.040 So for people who might just be listening, also hi, or people who don't, you have no

00:40:20.940 idea what we're talking about, like Blake, for example.

00:40:23.120 So this is season five of the TV show, Netflix show, Stranger Things has just come out.

00:40:29.060 This is Netflix's number one show.

00:40:31.020 It is currently the Netflix's number one show worldwide.

00:40:34.380 It's been a massive cultural phenomenon.

00:40:38.280 The original season was all about 80s nostalgia.

00:40:40.980 That's what made it so big in the first place.

00:40:43.180 You hear the synth music, it's kids riding around on bikes.

00:40:45.760 So it's got a lot of allusions back to old 1980s movies and growing up like that.

00:40:52.120 And so similar to what Andrew was just saying about how youth brands and youth bands could

00:40:57.320 have a second life, it's sort of like that same thing where it's, you know, this is a

00:41:01.880 way for a lot of Gen Xers and, you know, elder millennials, Gen Yers to be able to sort of

00:41:06.500 share the 80s with their kids.

00:41:09.120 And they've gone and they've been making the show gayer and gayer as the seasons go on.

00:41:15.060 And in this scene, this is the, so this is a flashback, what you're actually watching back

00:41:20.340 to season one.

00:41:21.980 So what you're seeing here is them reestablishing something or what they'd say, revealing something

00:41:27.580 that actually happened in season one that they're only showing you now for the first

00:41:31.120 time.

00:41:31.480 And I watched this scene and you're seeing the, the big bad right there of the whole series.

00:41:37.740 We'll call him gay Darth Vader.

00:41:39.860 And what gay Darth Vader is doing, also known as Vecna, is he is metaphorically, you know,

00:41:48.540 it looks like he is physically violating this young boy.

00:41:52.300 We'll call him gay Luke Skywalker with his tentacle.

00:41:55.720 And he is shoving his tentacle down gay Luke Skywalker's mouth and shooting his dark effluvia

00:42:03.820 down the boy's throat.

00:42:06.160 The boy's eyes roll backwards.

00:42:09.320 They, you know, they, you know, they roll back in his head.

00:42:12.400 He starts gagging.

00:42:13.560 And at which point gay Darth Vader then starts stroking the boy's face and his sort of neck

00:42:21.060 also, his head also goes back in, in a form of pleasure.

00:42:24.260 And to me, I watched this, um, this was actually released prior to the season itself.

00:42:29.840 And I said, guys, this is, this is, you know, very clearly representative of a gay rape scene.

00:42:37.000 And that's crazy that nobody is calling out Netflix for this number one, for, for filming

00:42:43.540 and putting something like this in, again, this is their, this is their keystone show.

00:42:49.400 This is their, you know, uh, tentpole show.

00:42:53.780 This is their blockbuster.

00:42:55.040 People have been waiting for this for four years for this very episode to come out.

00:42:59.860 And that's the first thing you see.

00:43:02.540 And what was crazy is that people then came back to me and said, oh, that's not what it

00:43:07.420 is, Jack.

00:43:07.860 You're just making a big deal of it to Tyler's point.

00:43:10.260 Like, no, no, that's really, really what it's representative of.

00:43:14.480 Oh, it was like, it was more horrifying than I, I realized.

00:43:18.160 And I sat down and it's like right at the beginning, it's like, they, like, they wanted

00:43:21.900 this to the, the lead off and it's super, everything about it's weird.

00:43:26.460 Like I was talking about it with my wife while we were watching.

00:43:29.480 We're like, I was like, oh, this is the thing Jack was talking about.

00:43:32.260 She's like, what is it?

00:43:32.920 I'm like, it's like something, something gay happens at the beginning.

00:43:35.840 And she's like, what are you talking about?

00:43:37.700 And we watched it.

00:43:38.520 And I was like, there was, we went through it.

00:43:40.440 There's probably 50 different ways they could have done this like so easily.

00:43:44.440 It's like, they, this was, this is like, this has to be intentional by like all this

00:43:49.680 is like, it's so clearly weirdly intentional.

00:43:53.160 And even like the scripting of it's super like none of it's necessary.

00:43:57.200 It has nothing to do plot wise.

00:43:59.220 Like there's no way that this actually is applicable to like the story in any kind of

00:44:03.160 way, other than it just being like super weird.

00:44:05.840 Yeah.

00:44:06.400 So Jack, did you say, did you describe it?

00:44:08.380 You said it was text, a textbook, gay rape scene.

00:44:13.080 Uh, representative, like representative of pedophile, you know, behavior.

00:44:18.320 And by the way, so there was a, actually a professor from the university of Chicago sort

00:44:23.600 of responded to my, I wrote an op-ed about this over the Thanksgiving break and sort of

00:44:28.220 responded to my piece and said, and said, yes, that's true.

00:44:31.880 However, if you watch the rest and the rest of the season kind of gets into this, where

00:44:35.900 this character, his name is Vecna, but I call him gay Darth Vader, where gay Darth Vader

00:44:39.920 is then targeting other children, but he, he does so in a guise called, uh, Mr. What's

00:44:45.660 going on with it?

00:44:46.660 And, and her point was, well, perhaps you could read it as a warning of grooming behavior.

00:44:53.540 And while that's all, you know, well and good, I just think this scene itself in a TV series,

00:44:59.660 which has been marketed, uh, very largely towards children is just inappropriate.

00:45:04.780 Speaker 3 It's just, it's so weird.

00:45:07.580 Speaker 3 I mean, everything, everything, it's very graphic.

00:45:10.340 Speaker 3 It's very graphic.

00:45:11.460 Speaker 3 And you know, you know, the fact that we have to blur it out for, I mean, here,

00:45:16.720 here's what I would say Jack to those people that were hating on you.

00:45:18.960 It's like, who, who any age over like 15 wouldn't see this imagery and be like, that looks a little

00:45:26.180 phallic.

00:45:26.780 Like you would of course see that you could not see that by looking at that image and then him

00:45:32.140 petting the kid's head and like i'm kind of with you it's with you tyler like it's worse

00:45:39.140 than i imagine and i get that like people are going to defend it as as some sort of like

00:45:44.860 make-believe but to your point i think a lot of families watch this show am i wrong jack i only

00:45:49.420 watched season a lot of a lot of families watch the show yes a lot of family watch together like

00:45:53.760 especially with like teenagers and stuff like that and like like a little bit like my kids are

00:45:58.420 kind of in the perfect my my two older kids are kind of in the perfect my though i i feel like

00:46:03.140 9 10 11 12 year olds are like this is kind of like a really cool show to like that age group

00:46:08.800 because it's just it's it's not really scary but it's scary enough and it's you know it's just kind

00:46:14.500 of an interesting you know like jack said we've been asked we've been asked people are asking us

00:46:18.840 to cut the video out because it's too disturbing to them so i guess they're they're definitely

00:46:23.100 agreeing with jack's point i mean you can just you can just show us you can just show us still but

00:46:26.680 actually what what we could also show which is separately from the video which and by the way

00:46:31.660 that's my entire point because the people who were like hating on me and this this went viral this

00:46:37.660 we got written up in international you know media over this and i had all these these i call them the

00:46:43.520 stranger simps all the stranger simps were coming at me saying oh no it's just you know it's just like

00:46:48.860 the scene in alien don't you understand they're they're just doing a a bit from alien i said well

00:46:53.940 you understand that the movie alien is meant to represent male rape and it's an r-rated movie

00:46:59.340 writer the alien is an r-rated movie and and the they're called the face huggers in alien are meant

00:47:05.380 to represent male rape because the it's it's sort of this you know creature that that grabs onto your

00:47:11.340 face injects it injects its you know sperm spore whatever into your body then they become pregnant

00:47:18.380 and then the pregnancy kills you so it was written and the writers of the original alien movie have

00:47:23.520 come out and said this that that's exactly what they intended they were pro-abortion and they thought

00:47:28.080 that if they could put this into the film that it would make uh men perhaps more open to being pro-choice

00:47:34.800 if they understood what it was like to be raped and then get pregnant again go look at the actual

00:47:40.040 writers of alien that's what they said like i'm not making this up so for people saying oh it's just

00:47:45.220 like the alien scene yeah i know i i understand what an homage is that's what they're doing but

00:47:50.000 what i do want to also point out though is and let's talk about some of the b-roll here guys

00:47:55.480 throw up where is it where is it where is it throw up just some of this b-roll three four three thirty

00:48:01.540 four just throw up three thirty four is b-roll while we're talking because and and some of this

00:48:06.960 other stuff because you can see if in 334 and you know 339 340 to scroll through those because there

00:48:14.680 are numerous tie-ins to children's action figures children's happy meals all children uh children's

00:48:21.380 toys where they are clearly marketing this show towards children i think that last one that was just

00:48:29.880 the teenage ninja turtles no it's like a crossover okay yeah all right it's like a crossover yeah no

00:48:37.280 but but you know i think the point is because i i only watched season one so i i'm a little behind

00:48:42.320 on stranger thing i thought it was cool love the synth music retro 80s but it was like the kids were

00:48:46.960 really really young it kind of had this like it was like a kids you were watching the world through

00:48:53.100 these kids eyes and being terrified at this stranger thing that was kind of creeping into their reality

00:48:58.400 but it and i again i could be misremembering but it seemed completely appropriate for like a little

00:49:05.500 slightly older children to watch with their parents there were some there were some like violence but

00:49:09.900 you know that's that's that's probably as much as season one was some adult themes but it was like

00:49:14.160 it was basically you're following around these kids and their lived experience right around as they

00:49:20.500 grew up but andrew but andrew the point is is that this scene is meant you know it's a flashback to

00:49:25.980 season one so it's almost like the writer so it's like netflix came in basically uh woke flicks came

00:49:32.960 in and was like no season one was too family friendly so we want you to watch season one

00:49:37.880 knowing that this is what actually happened right before season one right so the kid gets um or i guess

00:49:43.240 during because the kid gets um will this is the name of his character who's now gay luke skywalker

00:49:48.960 he goes missing and throughout all of season one they're trying to find will well now we found out

00:49:54.340 this is what was happening to will he was being raped by gay darth vader the entire time

00:49:59.580 yeah it ruins it it like makes it totally ruins it it ruins everything they wrote they they ruined it

00:50:08.240 is this is this worse is the first five seconds of this season of stranger things worse than the last

00:50:18.460 episode of uh what do you call on hbo that ruined the sopranos no the uh game of thrones well i mean

00:50:28.140 what's what game of thrones wasn't so the thing what's worse the last five minutes of the last episode

00:50:33.420 game of thrones or the first five minutes of the stranger the thing about game of thrones is the

00:50:38.760 badness of it was like the last five seasons of it essentially no really it was the last three

00:50:44.400 seasons but two or three seasons well so this this for me for me if people are like why is jack

00:50:49.540 commenting on this stuff all of a sudden it's kind of like this is sort of return to form for me

00:50:53.080 because my original um you know twitter account and i had a blog going back in like 2012

00:50:59.940 through 2016 was all about ripping on game of thrones um i i did a blog called the angry got fan

00:51:08.720 and so that that was our focus the entire time was basically attacking hbo for what they were doing

00:51:15.660 with game of thrones and so this is a little bit return to form because now i'm the angry stranger

00:51:20.780 things fan i guess way before critical drinker by the way way before critical drinker although i love

00:51:26.240 that guy i think he's i think he's phenomenal what he does so so jack you you mentioned that this is

00:51:31.340 kind of like pedophilia grooming like this is you know this is what some people are observing this is

00:51:36.800 as a warning but it's like it occurs to me that the entire show is now in hindsight being 2020 is just

00:51:43.800 one giant grooming exercise because they suck you into a show yes i've never watched this because

00:51:50.020 stranger things just clearly seems to be i said it was a sissy hypno program to turn you gay and i i kind of

00:51:55.400 suspect all three of you guys your instincts were proven right here well so i am here i have never

00:52:00.840 watched no blake blake i i will unfortunately and begrudgingly admit that blake was probably right

00:52:05.200 about this um but there is do we have any of the okay no we don't have it here in in these clips

00:52:12.240 there's a clip now in so this is what's crazy right this is what they set it up with there's a new clip

00:52:18.400 in the very last episode of this you know current um the current episode that have been released

00:52:23.080 where basically will the the gay luke skywalker and this is why i call him gay luke skywalker

00:52:29.060 because now he then talks to his lesbian friend uh robin rockin robin and she tells him that it's

00:52:39.340 okay to be gay and you should just embrace your gayness oh we do we do it we have it oh we have

00:52:44.480 okay i see it now i see it now three three four sorry guys three three four she just looked perfect

00:52:49.100 so god perfect and uh it was right then and there that i knew she was the one

00:52:54.960 that with tammy i would finally be able to be myself you know all of myself

00:53:00.480 because there was always this part of me that kind of scared me you know but i thought that if tammy

00:53:07.140 loved me all of me you know i wouldn't be so scared anymore and then he showed up steve the hair

00:53:16.560 harrington oh god you probably can guess the rest and that's when it hit me it was never about don't have

00:53:23.780 to him it was always just about me i was looking for answers in somebody else but

00:53:31.720 i had all the answers i just needed to stop being so god scared

00:53:39.500 again that music you heard in the background was not synthwave it was the undulations of the sissy

00:53:47.020 hypno burrowing into your brain you guys just you gave into it for four seasons right blake is totally

00:53:53.060 right so so what happens right what i was referring to is and i see what's going on right after that

00:53:59.020 will has this sequence where he decides to embrace himself and then he is able to exhibit

00:54:06.800 you know basically like force-like powers the same way that darth vader does so gay darth vader

00:54:13.080 and gay luke skywalker both have these force powers now and are able to use them to fight each other

00:54:19.160 well i guess i guess it did reveal did you say gay darth vader did kind of use the force on him

00:54:24.900 if you get what i mean oh man well oh no oh so yeah that's dirty that's very dirty um so but what

00:54:34.720 you said is interesting jack you said that you said it as they have to because she said it in that clip

00:54:39.160 where i just had to embrace me so you and you were saying will had to embrace himself and he gets these

00:54:45.000 powers but like isn't that just some sort of like subliminal subliminal license to be entirely

00:54:52.000 narcissistic to just be completely obsessed with self to worship self to yeah that's okay i'm just

00:54:59.540 making sure that like it's that on the nose no it's it's that on the nose the entire thing and so he

00:55:05.760 he gives in and they've been playing and and well and i will tell you by the way that the and this is

00:55:11.820 so the full season hasn't been released so the sequence that they specifically mentioned not just

00:55:18.080 giving into self but it shows him growing up with another boy and so as they're very young so this

00:55:28.460 idea that they're trying to imply is that he's been romantically sexually attracted to his best friend

00:55:36.020 all along and there's a theory that a lot of people have been talking about producer fos you know

00:55:42.280 totally agrees by the way you should definitely get him on this episode um where you know it it almost

00:55:48.600 seems like they're playing it out that he and the best friend boy are going to kiss or are going to

00:55:54.820 have some kind of relationship or something like that as if so not only are they going back and

00:55:59.540 recasting season one it's like they're going back and recasting the entire show to be about child

00:56:05.060 abuse um this weird pedophilic scene with uh gay darth vader and and now just about embracing

00:56:13.160 gayness so it really goes back to like what what a lot of people have been warning about netflix and

00:56:19.560 that that movie cuties and a lot of things that netflix does to just take stuff and then wokeify the

00:56:25.420 heck out of it are we going to get a scene you think in the season finale where maybe like the the two

00:56:29.520 boys will like make out with each other and then they'll go like maybe someday this racist country

00:56:35.760 will have a first black president and he could make gay marriage legal yeah literally he'll be like

00:56:41.780 that's literally say the gay marriage that doesn't make sense and they'll say like we can make it make

00:56:47.000 sense yes we can and then it will fade out literally the obama hope poster that is no no they'll

00:56:53.200 like real credits yeah they'll meet another boy who comes in to help them in the final battle right and

00:56:58.940 they're like what's your name i go by barry but yeah yeah he's barry he's an exchange student from

00:57:06.600 hawaii i go by barry i see a student from hawaii right the uh you know it's so but jack they're just

00:57:13.380 sorry to belabor the point but are they saying that homosexuality is just self-narcissism

00:57:20.640 so i don't think so because i don't think they're that self-aware i i think they're i think the general

00:57:27.880 message is that um being homosexual is good that you should follow your heart do whatever you feel

00:57:36.860 like your impulses are all that matters your urges are all that matters do whatever feels right and

00:57:43.540 and you be you and this you know if you watch a lot of netflix uh we know that netflix has a huge

00:57:48.900 lgbtq section we know that they inject these storylines into property after property over and over

00:57:55.680 again and i i think it's i don't i don't think it's i don't think they're trying to be that on

00:58:02.280 the nose i think they literally think it's good writing which it's not obviously what i do find

00:58:07.420 interesting though is i don't know if there might be in blake you might you know i'd like to get your

00:58:13.420 take on this it almost feels a little subversive too because again they're showing that the child

00:58:19.960 who was the first one to be abused by vecna then later goes on to become gay so it's like what

00:58:28.500 what what mean what what mean netflix so it's like it's like is there some guy who's like in the

00:58:34.880 background like who's actually like closetly you know closetly like conservative who's like

00:58:40.520 what if we what if we had vecna abuse him and everyone just kind of went along with it but he

00:58:44.920 actually is like putting a subliminal message inside the you know underneath that that overt

00:58:50.860 message like a straussian kind of thing maybe i guess i just think it's all that's a glass half

00:58:58.860 full that's a glass half full uh take on it jack after your op-ed you might be well yeah that

00:59:05.360 actually i actually have a very end of i say it in the very end of my op-ed like or maybe is there

00:59:10.960 like an extra little a little something going on there a little because because what i i don't

00:59:17.220 know that we have stats on this that are provable maybe we do i should look them up but like do we

00:59:22.060 have stats on you know if it's any percentage of people that are that are that are self-described

00:59:27.580 like they were abused as a child that then so in in the op-ed i did research for this i did i did

00:59:32.660 look this up and there was a vanderbilt study uh from 2022 that said that found that hetero or excuse me

00:59:38.760 homosexual adults reported instances of child abuse at a three to four times higher rate than

00:59:44.980 the heterosexual population wow yeah that's uh well maybe you're right then maybe there is some weird

00:59:52.900 tie-in maybe maybe the the the writers some writer in the writer's room looked up the same stat that

00:59:58.520 you you just referenced in your op-ed one could and so they're trying to like kind of sneak it in

01:00:03.700 which which obvious because obviously it's totally at odds with everything that the characters

01:00:08.600 are saying you know embrace yourself just be yourself whatever whatever but also you know

01:00:14.420 it's like it's kind of contradictory because we don't see him you know being like this before

01:00:19.520 the uh the abuse scene we only see it after faz faz just dropped something in the chat that convinced

01:00:26.400 me that this is really just like a the whole like stranger things is five seasons or whatever it's

01:00:32.560 just like a gay fifth uh sixth sense uh because in 335 we have a clip maya hawk says she wouldn't exist

01:00:39.260 if her parents hadn't aborted her sibling like that i mean this is this is this is dark 335

01:00:45.280 this is really dark i'm on with this really beautiful essay about uh her abortion that she

01:00:50.180 got when she was really young and about how if she hadn't have had it she wouldn't become the person

01:00:55.280 that she'd become and i wouldn't exist and how both of my parents lives would have been totally

01:00:59.180 derailed and she hadn't had access to safe and legal health care fundamental health care and i

01:01:05.340 of course like wealthy people will always be able to get abortions um but so many people because of

01:01:11.500 this ruling this like week will not only not be able to pursue their dreams but actually lose their

01:01:17.840 lives and be unsafe was she seated on that in like a dark was she seated cross-legged i didn't miss

01:01:25.960 that but i think she had her leg under her yeah okay that's a little odd but that reminds me of

01:01:30.940 that uh pramala jayapal uh tweet where she was like abortion is health care full stop it's and then she

01:01:37.440 just got ratioed into oblivion a really dark thing a lot of people on the abortion topic what's clear

01:01:43.800 is a very common normie sentiment on abortion is you're not you're not killing a separate human being

01:01:51.640 it's just i guess you know we have dnd and stranger things i've heard dungeons and dragons

01:01:56.480 they think it's just if you get an abortion and then have a kid later you just you re-rolled their

01:02:01.200 stats you you just you rolled the dice for a different kid the kid same kid came back they're

01:02:05.740 just different yeah that's the wishful thank you from the like that you really only killed someone

01:02:12.520 maybe if like you never have a kid at all but otherwise yeah you're just re-rolling their stats

01:02:16.060 no this is something where it and and by the way so there's another angle to all this as well

01:02:23.600 uh do you guys know about the warner brothers deal haven't heard about that know what you guys

01:02:29.420 andrew have you heard of this all the the big acquisition that's going on oh yeah well something

01:02:35.420 about it yeah vaguely yeah so so warner brothers discovery is currently up for sale and what's really

01:02:42.500 interesting is that warner brothers discovery is also the parent company of things like cnn hbo like

01:02:50.080 all this stuff right and so one of the top bidders for this is netflix so they're coming in with like

01:02:59.660 this netflix which is known for being one of the wokest um you know organizations on the planet one of the

01:03:06.860 wokest things that they have is you know this is where um you know where all of every pretty much

01:03:14.960 every show they get they're either going to put something woke in there they're going to make

01:03:18.660 a lot of children's content including gay characters including lgbt characters there was one it was like

01:03:24.780 uh uh something about a couple i remember it was a couple of months ago where it was like just two

01:03:29.520 nights and they just started being gay all of a sudden for no reason um this is where one of the

01:03:35.660 this is where of course cuties came out which was just a straight up pro pedophilia um uh movie uh

01:03:42.400 based in france and i believe if i remember correctly there was a writer what was that show

01:03:48.380 um paranormal park i think where they had trans characters and i think the creator of it was

01:03:54.660 actually attacking charlie like making fun of charlie after he was killed was another netflix show

01:04:00.160 i forget exactly what he said but it was it was i remember that being another netflix show with a

01:04:05.800 trans character and so imagine if you will right how we would have to respond if netflix all of a

01:04:14.560 sudden got in charge of like the looney tunes at warner brothers got in charge of like bugs bunny

01:04:21.240 and daffy duck and also by the way wb also owns like what else um all of the dc superheroes so like

01:04:27.700 superman batman wonder woman green lantern who i believe they already made gay in in warner brothers

01:04:35.040 the flash etc yeah i'm not i'm not sold on this making a big difference i mean we already have an

01:04:40.600 example of beloved characters getting taken over by a turbo gay company and it's called the disney

01:04:46.980 corporation they've they've made a lot of stuff really gay i didn't get but you're just proving

01:04:52.240 you're just proving my point though that if netflix gets this uh you know it takes my guess is

01:04:57.680 like he's big gay i just don't think we're gonna see a lot of gay bugs bunny because when was the last

01:05:04.180 time you saw anything related to bugs bunny i guess they made a new space jam bunny all my kids watch

01:05:09.320 bugs bunny every day like every single day they love it oh are they making new looney tunes or do we

01:05:15.320 just have the old looney tunes they are making new ones there's no yeah there's new ones there's

01:05:19.320 all right there's a whole new there's a whole new show where it's like um it's got like an

01:05:25.480 overarching plot basically you know where where they you know the character is kind of the storylines

01:05:29.900 like flow we have epic arcs about bugs bunny epic the epicest about bugs bunny's going on a

01:05:36.780 buildings roman built bugs bunny is following the other the so the other angle of this there's two

01:05:42.880 other companies right now that i think are in a bidding war um over over warner brothers and so

01:05:50.440 that's i'm just saying like if netflix gets in like i i'm coming for it like this is insane this is

01:05:55.900 completely insane and i can't imagine how you do this the other two companies are uh comcast which

01:06:01.820 honestly i'm obviously not a huge fan of since they run excuse me and it's now and then uh paramount

01:06:07.680 which is interesting because paramount of course um yeah they have paramount plus and they have

01:06:13.120 yellowstone which of course i've been quite outspoken on but they did also just um you know

01:06:18.260 take over cbs news they gave that to barry weiss so it you know it seems like they're trying to at

01:06:23.300 least do something to differentiate themselves there jack you're gonna love this would be insane

01:06:28.460 you're gonna love this they are they are jack it's that they're they're they're quietly moving

01:06:34.020 to the right over over there with cbs guys we got five dollar dono from zuzu's pedals you're gonna

01:06:40.100 like this you're gonna like this zuzu's pedals points out netflix got a lot gayer when obama got

01:06:49.260 on the board presumably right after saving those kids in indiana at the end of season five of stranger

01:06:53.600 things i canceled netflix three months ago and so should you or that's such a good point and i i

01:07:00.100 you're right i totally for it it totally slipped my mind as we were having the conversation that

01:07:04.560 obama is i don't know if he's on the board specifically but they have a major major deal

01:07:10.960 between barack michelle obama i thought he's an old netflix he definitely got a huge contract to make

01:07:17.400 those documentaries that i was looking up no it's documentaries and feature films they did the

01:07:22.420 whole thing with julia roberts about like the um it was like uh what was like an energy wave kind

01:07:27.880 of thing like crashes and you know it's like the end of the world one oh yeah yeah susan rice got on

01:07:35.040 the board of netflix okay right well okay so basically obama like susan rice was obama the appendage

01:07:41.140 so that's what it was susan rice gets on the board and then suddenly but the obamas the obamas are

01:07:46.260 clearly deeply in bed with it so how do they think we're going to react if the obamas then take like

01:07:53.640 imagine if the obamas have a direct line to controlling cnn and controlling like everything

01:08:00.620 the wb does it's like no that's i i would go to war over that i would 100 go to war over that

01:08:06.880 it's leave the world behind that was oh yeah that was the world behind that's it yeah he made that

01:08:12.800 and by the way by the way everybody i remember all those conspiracy theories about how you know

01:08:18.440 what did they know did they know something was going to going to happen and uh and then there

01:08:23.400 was the scene where all the teslas uh which which people thought was like an intentional dig at elon

01:08:30.120 musk because all the teslas get taken over by some mysterious power or force or alien beings and

01:08:36.780 they just start crashing all these teslas and i'm telling you this is this is absolutely the obamas

01:08:44.080 are trying to take over media they are trying to take over a media empire they've already done it

01:08:49.800 with netflix which by the way i i'd love because i think stranger things started like almost 10 years

01:08:54.960 ago so that was before the obama partnership so before susan rice was on the board before they had

01:09:00.760 the obama partnership he was still he was still president when it started or certainly when they were

01:09:05.160 making the show but now right now they're required to do all this extra stuff so they even have to go

01:09:11.520 back to season one and and make it all gay and in fact actually one thing that's really interesting

01:09:16.600 it just occurred to me as well they've also caught netflix stealth editing stranger things

01:09:22.440 where they will because it's a streaming service right so you don't have dvds of it so they'll go

01:09:27.240 back and they've actually like slightly edited certain characters and certain storylines

01:09:32.520 um as the show is going so if you go back and watch season one right now yeah yeah there was a whole

01:09:38.120 scene where one character was kind of like a peeping tom of uh the character jonathan was peeping

01:09:44.440 on nancy and they like basically like re-edited the whole sequence so that he was just sort of like

01:09:51.200 outside but didn't mean to be looking in or something so yeah there's the guy with the uh the uh shutter

01:09:56.320 camera and so they re-edited it so if you go back in season one and look at it now to do a re-watch

01:10:03.140 it's like it's like a slightly different you know slightly different narrative wow so jack on a scale

01:10:09.260 one to ten how big is this story worldwide i mean it's the number one show in the world right now

01:10:15.360 it is the number one show don't and don't think for a second that lots of kids are not watching it

01:10:21.200 because they are um and it's something honestly where it it people say like oh why do you care

01:10:29.020 just don't watch it's like no guys we actually do have to pay attention to how the masses are being

01:10:33.640 propagandized and that's exactly what's going on here oh i totally agree the issue yeah you know the

01:10:38.120 issue that i would also this is why we talk about the super bowl so much and why we're doing this the

01:10:42.680 the put the uh the the sporting event halftime show later uh you know later next year yay sports

01:10:49.960 and yay sports and and i would also add you know i'd also add that you know you you have to know

01:10:58.940 what you're up against because millions of people who make decisions in in politics who make decisions

01:11:05.440 in media who then go on to uh just just just exist in the world they are now all going to have this

01:11:12.140 mental model this will be the mental model that they are given this is where most people get their

01:11:16.860 stories from that's where they get their beliefs from it's where they get their history from it's

01:11:20.120 from watching movies there's no more powerful instrument in the entire world movies tv shows

01:11:25.680 dreaming etc that people get this from than here and that's why i call it out that's what whether

01:11:31.820 it's game of thrones 10 years ago or gosh almost uh 14 years ago when i started doing that

01:11:36.320 to um to netflix now to star wars back when they were doing that and they were making everything crazy

01:11:41.820 um disney got really mad at me over the star wars thing actually ryan johnson as well who was the

01:11:47.360 the writer of the second disney star wars movie because i pointed out that in the disney star wars

01:11:51.980 films uh all the the heroes were this like diverse band of rebels and all of the villains were white men

01:12:00.640 every single one was a white man and and all of the heroes were not and and of and of the heroes

01:12:06.640 who were white men or or the one straight white woman they were all killed one by one from the old
