00:02:00.500 are onto something probably about 13 percent of the thought crimes that we do on this show end

00:02:04.860 up going viral in one way shape or another but more than 50 percent of that involve lord of the

00:02:09.320 rings jackie still right about that still pagan she's still big overtly pagan don't wait don't

00:02:19.540 we have the line overtly overtly pagan see there it is the pagan that's becoming like a meme now

00:02:30.240 every time i post something they're like oh jack is that overtly pagan too because i was like i

00:02:35.740 went to see like the actually i have it here this isn't branded but i went to see the super mario

00:02:40.880 galaxy with my kids was that pagan the thing they're like they're like super mario galaxy

00:02:46.180 overtly pagan i mean is it is super mario galaxy is it pagan i feel like it's got to be right

00:02:52.960 yeah it is no absolutely obviously i mean it's got it's got wizards turtle wizards i'm on i'm

00:03:00.160 on a set with two catholics right now you guys have me beat on the identifying of pagan on the

00:03:05.720 other hand mario is italian and i feel like him being italian implicitly means well so actually

00:03:12.120 wait so this is wait no there's actually a great uh line about this because the legend of zelda so

00:03:19.240 you know link the main character in the legend of zelda everyone thinks his name is zelda but

00:03:22.540 it's not it's actually link that if you go back i think in the japanese versions of like the original

00:03:27.740 legend of zelda he he is like explicitly catholic and they've got like crosses and

00:03:34.640 on his shield and there's like bibles but it's like the japanese version of the middle ages so

00:03:40.140 it's like it's it's like he has actual magical powers and abilities as well and then in the

00:03:45.320 american version they changed it up yeah they do oh they they definitely have there's uh did you

00:03:51.460 ever play castlevania back in the day do you know that one uh i it's where you have like a whip and

00:03:55.960 you fight dracula and stuff and in in the manual it is it is canonical in the manual that the pope

00:04:01.720 called a crusade against dracula and that's why you have to go kill dracula wow because the

00:04:06.060 ordered you to do it you know we really didn't talk enough on this show about uh because i think

00:04:10.960 we covered in the daily show but the the japanese american connection how strong it is oh it's great

00:04:16.840 we love gave us the like the the twitter purge we all needed we love our japanese yeah i so i have

00:04:21.980 a i need to go to japan you've been to japan yes i have you went with charlie but i i have not gone

00:04:26.680 to japan oh it's a very go-to-able place wow i think i feel like i like really want to though

00:04:32.880 no actually i bet i was in uh when i was in second fleet you know japan obviously was like

00:04:40.220 our headquarters so anything that was you know like conference wise or that i had to go to for

00:04:45.560 whatever reason would be in yukosuka so you know you're coming up you're flying through tokyo and

00:04:49.700 i mean it's just the i'll never forget you know just riding around on the metro in japan

00:04:56.460 and seeing how uh kids it's so safe that they let their kids just ride mass transit to like go to

00:05:03.760 school by themselves like there you go and it's like and it's kind of jarring at first you're

00:05:11.400 like where are the parents for these children and they're just like you know dressed for school and

00:05:14.740 they're going like little kids and they're just like dressed for school and with their uniforms

00:05:18.700 then off they go and it's it's very it's just very neat and orderly i uh that i remember that

00:05:25.000 with some of charlie's selfie videos and like social media videos but that was actually i

00:05:28.660 remember him saying that about south korea actually south korea was the one where he was walking i

00:05:32.800 mean that was where he walked through the park and the people are on like the bubble chairs and

00:05:36.060 those would obviously be like covered with graffiti and graffiti yeah which is sad we don't have to

00:05:42.320 live this way but we've decided to uh import a permanent underclass and though what i will say 0.89

00:05:47.160 korea is the place korea is the dirty version of japan so if korea is clean japan is hyper clean 0.74

00:05:53.700 But you guys went to South Korea first. 0.97

00:05:56.060 And China is like 10,000 times worse than Korea.

00:06:02.120 Japan is incredible.

00:06:03.080 So also, Blake, you remember the trash can thing in Japan?

00:06:07.680 Yes, the fact that they don't exist.

00:06:10.440 Exactly.

00:06:11.480 Oh, hold on.

00:06:12.360 Do we have a musical cue?

00:06:14.120 We have music playing.

00:06:15.580 Is this Japanese music?

00:06:16.240 Someone is arriving.

00:06:18.220 Oh, it's Tyler.

00:06:19.300 It's Tyler Bowyer late arrival theme song. 0.99

00:06:22.120 This is Mormon music.

00:06:22.940 Mormon theme song. Is this Mormon music?

00:06:25.960 Yes. I think it is. It must be.

00:06:27.420 He wouldn't listen to it if it wasn't.

00:06:29.700 Oh, this is...

00:06:30.600 Is it, like, mandated?

00:06:33.680 This is

00:06:34.220 New Shoes. New Shoes.

00:06:36.360 This is one of my favorite. If I was going to have

00:06:38.700 a podcast, this would be my intro.

00:06:40.340 Well, if I was making

00:06:42.780 your theme song for You Arriving

00:06:44.740 Late, it would probably be...

00:06:46.620 I'd probably go with that. I feel like Charlie

00:06:48.620 would be like, we would, like, find out, like, a few minutes

00:06:50.760 before, like, the podcast. He's, like,

00:06:52.420 it's like i'm not gonna be there or i'll be late and then we would have to like stall

00:06:55.980 that's you you're the new you're the next four last four weeks i feel like all right well since

00:07:02.160 we have tyler so we were well no i want to i want to hit on this some more so so tyler we were just

00:07:07.120 kind of like uh i don't even remember how we got there but we were sort of loving on japan

00:07:12.600 and talking about how japan and america really need to like be allies now and that was like a

00:07:17.420 big trend on Twitter. Trump met with the prime minister, the new prime minister of Japan in the

00:07:24.880 White House. And, you know, that kind of just and then but at the same time, Twitter like

00:07:29.120 they sort of did this bot purge. I don't know if it's a full bot purge or something, but it just

00:07:33.880 made it so that Americans could see Japanese accounts more. And for people who don't know

00:07:40.380 that for a long time, Japan has been the largest country on Twitter that has the largest daily

00:07:45.500 active users, DAUs, for any country, even more than America. It's just sort of like their main

00:07:51.220 social media there in Japan. And, you know, people didn't realize that the Japanese had so much

00:07:58.020 affection for the United States of America. And, you know, that led to this kind of, you know,

00:08:04.480 rekindling of the bromance or perhaps like, perhaps you could even say like a, you know,

00:08:11.340 blessing of the bromance between america and japan and of course that i came out and said

00:08:17.100 on human events that we need to go a step further and we need to re-militarize japan we need to

00:08:23.660 allow them to have their full navy back let them get nuclear weapons like let's go all in 0.94

00:08:29.580 the memes have been so good though for the record it wouldn't be the first time that we gave japan 0.96

00:08:34.700 nukes oh just you know a different way it's not too soon too soon it's not too soon it's not too

00:08:42.340 soon it's not too soon it's not too soon all right trump trump made the joke about pearl harbor

00:08:45.780 remember because that's kind of what started all this all right now where he goes wait do we have

00:08:51.360 it no we don't we don't we should have oh because i know because he goes just for anyone who hasn't

00:08:55.740 heard it he goes uh they said well you know why didn't you tell us about the uh i guess it was

00:09:00.560 like a japanese um reporter or something like why didn't you tell us about the surprise attack on

00:09:05.780 uh iran he said why didn't you tell us about pearl harbor yeah no we saw it we saw it no but

00:09:11.280 we we speaking of a country that used to be a u.s ally excuse me we have another country so

00:09:16.980 now people are saying japan is our best ally or our best friend hold on now they finally got

00:09:21.720 our greatest ally yeah no should we play a video since we're talking no no no no i i want to we

00:09:26.600 We saw that before.

00:09:27.920 We've got to get to the ex-U.S. ally, the decaying U.S. ally.

00:09:33.200 It was a special relationship.

00:09:34.780 Now it's more just very special in that special way, which is the U.K.

00:09:40.160 The U.K. is banning travel from America to Japan, at least if you are one specific person.

00:09:48.580 Yes, and that person would be Kanye West.

00:09:52.260 He has multiple names.

00:09:53.420 He does have many names.

00:09:54.580 Kanye, Kanye West

00:09:56.220 What do we call, is it ye now?

00:09:59.500 I don't care

00:09:59.860 I call him Kanye West because when they change

00:10:02.360 Too much, it's not my obligation

00:10:04.320 To know what it is 1.00

00:10:05.300 Yeezus 0.98

00:10:05.880 There it is

00:10:08.840 Did you like laugh and hit the mic

00:10:12.240 Wait, do we have the video

00:10:13.480 Do we have the video of that

00:10:15.540 What do they call it, the world stage that he was using

00:10:18.480 With the fog

00:10:19.660 Because, you know

00:10:21.860 That was him standing

00:10:24.320 on it but dude look at this is this not the coolest stage you've ever seen it really is

00:10:30.240 i'm sorry it's the coolest stage i've ever seen stages i've also never that is a cool stage i

00:10:35.340 also think that that was the widest crowd that kanye has ever had look at this where was this

00:10:40.080 look at this i think that was in uh in california at the uh at the intuit yeah that's sick was it

00:10:46.020 oh i see i thought that was sphere i thought that was one of those sphere things oh was it

00:10:50.160 I thought he did his concert at the Intuit Dome.

00:10:53.960 That was amazing.

00:10:54.840 But I saw a video of it.

00:10:58.080 I just found out that, oh wait, I don't want to say this.

00:11:02.180 Shoot.

00:11:03.040 Okay, never mind. 0.99

00:11:03.840 Blame my last.

00:11:04.480 I'm not going to say that because it might be a surprise for Tanya.

00:11:07.740 And she watches this.

00:11:09.280 I saw people taking videos from the crowd.

00:11:14.380 And I was just interested who showed up.

00:11:17.020 And it was a very white crowd.

00:11:18.700 At this thing?

00:11:19.580 at kanye's concert well and again i think i think kanye's appealed to a lot of that thing a lot of

00:11:28.660 people of different diverse backgrounds but it was definitely there was definitely he's definitely

00:11:35.960 gained a lot of new whiter fans probably probably is that just a way of saying that he's because

00:11:42.260 he's embraced certain controversial yeah are you saying because he went anti-semitic that he

00:11:47.140 No, I'm not saying anything.

00:11:49.020 I would expect him to have a less white audience if he does that. 0.96

00:11:52.760 Yeah, exactly. 1.00

00:11:53.880 Yeah, I think that that's more popular.

00:11:56.680 But what's interesting about this, though, is he's been on this apology tour 0.86

00:11:59.960 trying to say, hey, he's going with the Jewish rabbis, saying sorry,

00:12:06.500 and then he gets blocked.

00:12:08.320 I don't understand how this even happened.

00:12:11.080 Why would the UK go out of their way to block Kanye?

00:12:13.560 What's the explanation they're giving?

00:12:15.300 They want us to be stuck with him?

00:12:16.860 No, they've blocked people before.

00:12:18.780 They've blocked Michael Savage.

00:12:20.880 Yeah.

00:12:21.440 Michael Savage?

00:12:22.560 Michael Savage can't go.

00:12:24.300 Oh, the commentator as well.

00:12:27.440 Conservative commentator.

00:12:28.780 I'm sort of of two minds on this.

00:12:30.260 One, I don't know why we're supposed to care that much about what Kanye West says.

00:12:36.000 And I thought it was weird when we had that episode, especially a couple years ago.

00:12:39.680 Is that the real thought crime?

00:12:41.800 Like, why do people care what Kanye West has to say?

00:12:45.080 As far as I'm concerned, rap is not really music.

00:12:49.100 Rap is not really music, and on top of that, when they say insane things,

00:12:54.380 it's really just barely a step above a crazy guy on the subway saying insane things.

00:12:59.480 And I don't feel that Kanye is that far away from that.

00:13:01.960 Caboose, can we get some Kanye tracks that you actually like, or are you against Kanye?

00:13:07.280 Here's what's the most crazy part of this.

00:13:09.720 One of the most popular, again, I don't like this song,

00:13:12.880 but one of the most popular songs ever

00:13:14.360 was his collaboration that he did for American Boy.

00:13:18.120 I don't even know it.

00:13:20.240 Does anybody know the song?

00:13:22.080 American Boy.

00:13:22.680 I don't know that one.

00:13:23.600 No.

00:13:23.940 No, I don't.

00:13:24.840 I proudly don't know the British song.

00:13:26.440 Yeah.

00:13:26.960 What was that?

00:13:27.600 Wait, no, Tyler.

00:13:28.380 What was that song that Kanye did last year, though?

00:13:31.100 It went pretty viral.

00:13:32.040 It's about a British girl being into an American guy.

00:13:36.540 Yeah.

00:13:36.800 And Kanye did the collab on that.

00:13:42.880 and now he can't go to the uk my my favorite thing that is full circle my uh favorite thing

00:13:50.220 that kanye sort of had a hand in doing was you remember when he did that uh music video with

00:13:55.060 kim kardashian on the motorcycle no you don't no i i don't really know kanye okay until until

00:14:02.700 he started running for president i couldn't have told you that's the video uh so bound to so it's

00:14:09.900 just super weird the whole music video is like them on a motorcycle and it's like gyrating like

00:14:17.300 i don't know and kim kardashian is not wearing a whole lot or anything at all and then anyways but

00:14:22.520 the point is seth rogan and james franco did a whole mock like parody of it where where seth

00:14:31.860 rogan's writing on we should get this we should get this um oh i think estelle that did that song

00:14:38.500 with Kanye was at that

00:14:40.240 concert. I think she

00:14:42.200 showed up as one of his, because he had a bunch of

00:14:44.120 guest appearances. I think she

00:14:45.240 came out and sang with him. I don't know.

00:14:49.280 Well, anyways,

00:14:50.360 we don't seem that passionate about Kanye.

00:14:52.140 Nobody seems to care. Well, I care.

00:14:54.640 I just, I kind of treat... Do we not care?

00:14:56.200 I fold Kanye in with all other rappers,

00:14:58.240 which is... I just aggressively

00:15:00.120 want to dump on them. Why do people like

00:15:02.120 this stuff? I think it is a setback

00:15:03.960 for the right, that people on the right

00:15:06.040 are fans of rap music.

00:15:07.720 That's not Kanye, though.

00:15:09.460 This is Kanye.

00:15:10.240 This is Estelle with Kanye.

00:15:11.160 This is his version of it?

00:15:12.740 Yeah, Estelle sings a song.

00:15:13.960 Is he on the original version?

00:15:14.880 Is he just the guy mumbling?

00:15:15.660 Yeah, she sings a song and then he raps.

00:15:18.200 Oh.

00:15:19.520 I didn't realize.

00:15:20.180 Here we go.

00:15:23.060 Wait.

00:15:23.620 No?

00:15:24.000 Speed up.

00:15:24.780 It's further up.

00:15:25.820 It's further up.

00:15:26.800 Do we have to listen to this whole song?

00:15:30.140 Oh, that's Kanye?

00:15:31.100 Yeah.

00:15:33.420 I remember this.

00:15:36.160 I, you know, I was still.

00:15:37.460 Was that song really enhanced by having a guy

00:15:40.840 Jabbering in it?

00:15:42.800 Yeah, he's the American boy in the song.

00:15:47.400 I mean, that's not who she wrote the song for,

00:15:49.380 but in that version.

00:15:50.960 Here's more Kanye.

00:15:53.760 But that was a very popular song.

00:15:57.140 This is a big hit.

00:15:58.960 Okay, it was a big hit, so what?

00:16:00.840 So was the Barbie Girl song.

00:16:05.340 Here's my question.

00:16:06.380 What if America banned popular British people from coming to America?

00:16:12.420 It would be like our media would freak out.

00:16:16.280 Who would we lose if we banned British people?

00:16:19.180 How is British media doing with this?

00:16:22.500 Imagine if we banned, I don't know.

00:16:26.780 I can't even think of it.

00:16:27.420 The Beatles?

00:16:28.560 Well, yeah, the Beatles.

00:16:30.040 I mean, I don't know if you could compare Kanye now to peak Beatles.

00:16:34.460 Well, I mean, there was that time that George Harrison wrote a song titled Heil Hitler.

00:16:40.420 So the summer's wireless. 0.62

00:16:42.040 It was John Lennon who had the Hitler stuff. 1.00

00:16:44.980 Yeah, I mean, John Lennon, I guess that's a good point. 0.99

00:16:47.760 Like, you could probably compare Kanye West and John Lennon.

00:16:51.500 Yeah, you could.

00:16:52.340 And, like, if we would have banned John Lennon.

00:16:58.580 Yeah, he said tons of controversial political stuff.

00:17:00.960 To be fair, I think Nixon did try to ban John Lennon.

00:17:04.460 Yeah, but if he would have done that,

00:17:05.640 it would have been World War III.

00:17:07.700 No, but I mean, I think he did actually try to do it.

00:17:10.200 Like they were trying to pull his immigration or something.

00:17:13.780 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:17:14.420 Nixon wanted to.

00:17:15.260 Also, John Lennon once proposed putting Hitler

00:17:17.360 on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's.

00:17:19.680 Oh, see?

00:17:20.420 Yeah.

00:17:21.740 So, okay, hold on.

00:17:22.960 Again, like he's, there's a lot of like provocative people

00:17:26.500 on the Sgt. Pepper's album, if you look closely.

00:17:29.160 So here's the thought card.

00:17:30.260 like a whole array of you know dead celebrity famous people etc here's which includes mccartney

00:17:37.760 who died in between the filming or the recording of revolver and sergeant pepper and was secretly

00:17:43.420 replaced by a guy by the name of billy shears um and because as we know paul mccartney actually

00:17:49.760 died and in a car crash and there's like secrets hidden in the lyrics okay so but here's the i

00:17:55.620 hadn't even heard this here's the thought just let go you didn't know that he died in 1966 and

00:18:00.360 was never heard of the paul is dead conspiracy no no you're even behind mike huckabee on that

00:18:06.000 one i remember huckabee actually did a whole paul is dead thing while running for president

00:18:09.980 you think it's real you actually believe it jay that paul is dead i mean i it's you just you have

00:18:17.100 to believe the the the songs it's all there it's all there it's wait which song do they say which

00:18:22.860 song do they say reveals this that has the hidden oh there's a song in uh like all of them there's

00:18:28.300 a song in the white album that is titled paul mccartney is dead but don't talk about this song

00:18:33.200 and don't tell anyone about it and just pretend this doesn't exist but it's on this album he's

00:18:37.260 dead and he was replaced by this guy so it's on the track listing i'm so tired it's the song i'm

00:18:42.240 so tired ellen uh on revolver has that at the end of it it's uh where it's like if you play it

00:18:48.020 backwards you hear you hear missing missing missing paul is dead um and and there's a bunch

00:18:55.180 of like hidden clues within the sergeant pepper album um for example on the cover of sergeant

00:19:01.840 pepper someone has like an open hand over paul mccartney's head and they say that that in like

00:19:07.420 eastern religions like um like hinduism that we know that the beatles were like heavily into

00:19:12.760 around this time they'd gone and hung out in India and um they were like tight with Robbie

00:19:18.460 Shankar George Harrison was and whose daughter is Nora Jones funny enough you know so much about

00:19:23.500 this so I guess it's really convenient in this version of the story and so that's like a sign

00:19:28.320 of death basically okay so is it really convenient in this story then that they found a guy who not

00:19:34.200 only looked like Paul McCartney but was also a transcendentally good songwriter because Paul

00:19:39.360 mccartney continued to or his imposter has continued to write songs and they've maybe

00:19:43.520 they've been well received maybe they just went through some of the like recorded tracks that were

00:19:47.840 never released and he just started releasing yeah or but if you had to explain why there'd

00:19:52.100 be a talented songwriter with the beatles what if john lennon was actually still alive secretly

00:19:57.300 and he was writing the music attributed to paul mccartney even after yeah he was so so john was

00:20:03.140 alive for a decade after the Beatles um so yeah you can see like a lot like young McCartney

00:20:10.560 so you see the hand over the head um there's stuff you know over Paul um you can see there's

00:20:18.180 what is it like with the with the doll on the far right you know there's supposed it's like a

00:20:22.980 Freddy Krueger kind of like like shears like like uh scissors I think there's something what is the

00:20:28.780 thing where's the there's like a car on the kid's um knee and that's supposed to be a reference to

00:20:35.020 the uh you know the death of paul mccartney in a car crash and and there's that song on the um

00:20:42.260 on the white album um that ringo sings where they it talks about you you know i'm so you know you

00:20:49.020 wait hold on it's um you were in a car crash and you lost your hair and you're forgetting

00:20:53.740 forgetting the big one jack you're forgetting the big one which is the cover of abbey road which is

00:20:57.920 paul mccartney is one he has his right foot in front of him instead of his left yeah so i can

00:21:02.680 walk through that i'm secretly dead so he's barefoot and yeah and he's barefoot so so the

00:21:08.680 cover of abbey road is actually a funeral procession and so uh you have john lennon is there

00:21:16.220 as the you know like the angel then and that's why he's all white then ringo star is is in all

00:21:22.920 black so he's like the the priest then paul is the uh the one being buried and then george of

00:21:29.860 course is the grave digger so him being barefoot while he's on uh on asphalt on a sunny day when

00:21:36.140 it's hot that signifies death the fact that he has his cigarette in his right hand even though

00:21:40.840 everybody knows that paul mccartney was left-handed um you know shows that it's an imposter uh man

00:21:47.100 there was something with the license plate as well that i forget um of the beetle that you can

00:21:51.600 Have you heard any of this, Tyler?

00:21:52.900 No.

00:21:53.380 You've never heard of this?

00:21:54.640 But honestly, I have.

00:21:56.620 No, but I'm like so disinteresting. 0.95

00:21:57.940 Are you faking that you don't know because the Mormon Church was involved? 0.54

00:22:01.480 No, the Beatles are so disinteresting to me.

00:22:05.160 Like, I'm so disinterested in that time period.

00:22:07.640 Did the Mormon Church condemn the Beatles when they came out?

00:22:09.900 One of the most innovative bands.

00:22:10.920 I'm sure they did.

00:22:11.620 Clearly the most popular band.

00:22:13.100 There will never be a band more popular than the Beatles.

00:22:15.720 I actually agree with that, Jack.

00:22:16.920 And I hate that.

00:22:17.640 I hate that about the Beatles.

00:22:18.900 So these are Paul McCartney's post-Beatles career.

00:22:21.600 spanning solo work and wings produced numerous hits critically acclaimed tracks check this out

00:22:27.000 band on the run the beatle maybe i'm amazed that's a huge song but here's here's the deal uh the

00:22:32.760 beatles were live and let dot 11 live and let die jet coming up the beatles did so much damage to

00:22:39.180 american the american youth how so i i just think their influence was so negative at a time that

00:22:48.000 that was an outlet for people that like were turning away from like basic

00:22:53.660 American principles and they were.

00:22:55.540 Oh,

00:22:55.840 so you'll say that about the Beatles,

00:22:57.280 but you won't say that about Lord of the Rings,

00:22:58.900 who those people were also into.

00:23:01.520 Oh gosh.

00:23:02.720 I don't want to cause you more problems than you already have with Lord of

00:23:06.860 the Rings fans,

00:23:07.540 Jack overtly.

00:23:08.560 And I ain't causing more problems.

00:23:10.100 The same group of people in the 1960s loved Lord of the Rings. 0.62

00:23:13.900 Lord of the Rings was like the hippie Bible. 0.93

00:23:15.800 Hold on.

00:23:16.240 It's Led Zeppelin.

00:23:18.300 We're going to talk about the effects.

00:23:19.860 We have to be fair about this.

00:23:23.120 Okay, listen.

00:23:24.300 I'm back to the Beatles.

00:23:25.300 The Beatles were subverting American culture at the time.

00:23:34.080 They turned young hearts and minds away from pro-American values,

00:23:40.700 and you can't change my mind.

00:23:42.720 so you're saying that you know that there was a plot against paul and could be yeah he's kind of

00:23:51.840 playing into your stereotype here okay so so what's interesting is i i heard this one time

00:24:00.440 it was a cultural critic about the beatles and he was saying you know everybody wanted to hear

00:24:06.500 what the beatles had to say the only problem with the beatles is they said nothing and i think that's

00:24:13.520 kind of interesting it was sort of they said stuff obviously but they didn't really have like

00:24:18.540 something they were we're complaining that the beatles don't have like a hard-hitting political

00:24:22.940 message i feel i feel like we've got plenty of hard-hitting political messages well nowadays we

00:24:27.500 do but yeah now we have tyler's point maybe like if you have this whole sort of malaise with the

00:24:32.140 youth and turning away from traditional values and they're kind of emblematic of that into this like

00:24:38.360 ethereal nothingness that they were leading everybody yeah i would agree with that i actually

00:24:43.140 think the beatles entire vibe was like uh it was almost like don't care about things except for

00:24:50.380 your own emotions like like very self-centered think about they don't they don't really have

00:24:55.460 like you think back some of their lyrics they didn't really have anything to say they didn't

00:24:59.160 And I remember thinking that, like, some of their biggest tracks, I mean, like, I Want to Hold Your Hand, okay, that was, like, one of the originals, like, okay, it's a love song.

00:25:07.780 But, like, you keep going down as they got more, like, eclectic and more experimental.

00:25:13.080 I don't really know what the message was.

00:25:14.700 What was the message?

00:25:15.420 I think, well, I think there...

00:25:16.500 Does there need to be a message for songs?

00:25:18.260 No, there doesn't need to be, but I think it's, like, in the cultural context of the time, yeah, it kind of makes sense that they were leading everybody nowhere.

00:25:25.600 So you're saying we should have banned the Beatles from America?

00:25:28.520 a thousand percent yeah no i don't know like i don't really have strong opinions i don't think

00:25:32.900 that art needs to have a message like that i think it's it's just gonna just stand on its own

00:25:36.680 i think maybe maybe i mean i i don't think that strong of thoughts about any of this stuff to be

00:25:42.580 honest but i mean listen i i think they're very talented i think to who said it whose point there

00:25:48.760 will never be another beatles that has that sort of like cultural dominance and you know beetle

00:25:54.660 mania and all of this stuff and just the the song the songs that they have there's so many huge hits

00:26:02.640 like i just don't think we'll ever see anything like it again i just i don't know it just does

00:26:06.620 i kind of resonate with what tyler's saying on some level because it was as was a time when

00:26:10.740 kids were turning their backs on traditional values and going to nowhere it was a road to

00:26:15.220 nowhere i think lord of the rings i think lord of the rings was their favorite novel i think most

00:26:19.420 importantly was that and yes it is go look it up the hippies loved lord of the rings lord of the

00:26:25.260 rings was they they viewed the hobbits as like the pot smokers they viewed the hobbits as like

00:26:31.180 the shire was like a commune that was like communistic they viewed the mordor was like

00:26:36.540 the military industrial complex and corporate society and they had to fight against that

00:26:41.680 and it was always seen up until the movies came out as a vehicle of the left it was totally

00:26:47.460 embraced by the hippie counterculture movement yeah but then they made the movie and it was

00:26:51.460 awesome so now it's straight and right wing and awesome Zuzu's pedals donated one dollar and says

00:26:56.800 sadly the Beatles became dirty hippies that's true also Zuzu pedal earlier she said she would

00:27:02.900 she should uh we would ban Adele from the U.S. is what she said I think I think that the I like 0.74

00:27:08.380 Adele I'm pointing out everyone's hypocrisy here that if we're going to talk about the Beatles

00:27:13.800 impact on culture we should talk about lord of the rings impact on the 60s hold on hold on

00:27:18.520 can you name me jack the the drummer before uh pete best ringo ringo who pete best yeah you got

00:27:28.020 did you know that no ringo ringo ended up being there was also stew sutcliffe

00:27:33.320 huh wow i didn't know you were such a fan yeah did you know that the beatles like performed all

00:27:40.820 over europe for like years just being a kind of a journey yeah uh the cavern in hamburg germany

00:27:46.700 played in hamburg yeah lunch and that's how they got good that's how they got played every night

00:27:50.420 in hamburg every night like for hours at least that's the that's the theory from malcolm there's

00:27:54.820 actually a couple versions of like i want to hold your hand in german come give me that guy in their

00:28:00.060 hand come give me guy in their hand that you can actually get with the beetle singing it

00:28:06.700 much about the beetle did you engineer this kanye topic just so we could talk about the beetle what 0.99

00:28:11.460 is it what was the one uh uh she loves you is like she leaped dick or something like she leaped 0.99

00:28:17.820 dick yeah yeah yeah yeah okay we're gonna something like that as a clip too uh i she leaped 0.99

00:28:25.880 all right well hold on just to put a final like you know i guess point fine point on this topic

00:28:34.880 Yeah, C-Leap.

00:28:37.060 We have a related topic off of this.

00:28:39.240 We should do that next.

00:28:40.500 Which is the bigger picture thing.

00:28:42.920 We got it, Jack.

00:28:43.940 The big picture idea is, does the music you like

00:28:47.320 show your IQ?

00:28:49.080 And the answer is, the science

00:28:50.600 is settled 150%.

00:28:54.120 Yes, your favorite band

00:28:56.100 reveals how smart you are.

00:28:58.480 Really?

00:28:59.180 Yes.

00:28:59.960 What if your favorite band is not on you?

00:29:01.120 Let's throw up number 12.

00:29:03.080 This is the chart.

00:29:04.880 that was made uh it's now it's going to be able to read it i suppose but it's someone like did a

00:29:09.380 big i think they compared what your sat score your sat score average would be versus the band

00:29:15.220 you list as your favorite so where's the where the beatles at oh let's go check this one uh it's i 0.67

00:29:20.720 don't think scrolling by here you can see some of the dumb ones so you the most the most famous

00:29:26.060 most impactful band in in the history was not on this no the beatles are on that right they have 0.62

00:29:34.460 Yeah, the Beatles are definitely on here.

00:29:36.340 There's a lot of bands on this list.

00:29:38.300 The highest IQ, the highest SAT score by a mile, actually, is Beethoven.

00:29:43.720 Some other bands that finish high is Counting Crows.

00:29:48.360 I don't even know who that is.

00:29:50.020 You don't know who the Counting Crows is?

00:29:50.840 I mean, I've heard of them, but I couldn't have told you the genre.

00:29:52.820 Around here. 1.00

00:29:55.680 The dumbest one. 1.00

00:29:57.420 Always stand up straight. 1.00

00:29:59.520 Oh, gosh. 1.00

00:30:00.420 The dumbest artist is Lil Wayne. 1.00

00:30:03.220 That wasn't their big hit 1.00

00:30:06.540 Their biggest hit was

00:30:08.180 What?

00:30:16.260 Is that the

00:30:17.140 Kiss the Girl from

00:30:18.500 The Little Mermaid? 1.00

00:30:19.620 I heard The Little Mermaid there

00:30:21.120 The Beatles are probably about

00:30:25.340 60

00:30:25.880 The Beatles are pretty high

00:30:28.080 The Beatles look like they're about 75th, 80th percentile

00:30:31.140 They're an SAT of about 1150

00:30:33.040 but Round Here by the Counting Crows

00:30:36.140 is one of the best songs ever written

00:30:37.500 why is U2 so high

00:30:39.500 because

00:30:40.960 if you're listening to them

00:30:44.060 you apparently have

00:30:46.040 more refined

00:30:47.200 tastes

00:30:48.680 I don't know

00:30:49.260 here's my problem

00:30:52.660 when I looked at this list

00:30:54.860 I was like

00:30:55.200 most of my bands that I probably listen to

00:30:58.400 are not on this

00:30:59.000 keep the b-roll scrolling so the listeners can see it

00:31:02.080 and identify where their bands are on there.

00:31:05.880 Argumemnon, which is an amazing username, I must say.

00:31:09.180 Argumemnon, that's awesome,

00:31:10.480 says that Counting Crows equals complaining rock.

00:31:13.800 It is complaining rock.

00:31:14.780 That's great.

00:31:15.660 Mr. Jones and me was great.

00:31:17.480 Long December is definitely more of a...

00:31:20.000 Counting Crows and that 90s vibe,

00:31:22.940 that early 90s,

00:31:24.880 that was the mother of all emo music.

00:31:28.460 Yeah, the bands,

00:31:29.300 just so you're looking at the screen, 0.99

00:31:30.600 the bands on the left are dumb 0.98

00:31:32.380 and the bands on the right are smarter. 0.99

00:31:33.840 So if you're a Taking Back Sunday fan,

00:31:36.220 you're kind of done here.

00:31:37.180 I like Switchfoot.

00:31:37.960 I do not agree that if you like Switchfoot, 1.00

00:31:40.740 you're as dumb as a Maroon 5 fan. 1.00

00:31:43.200 Well, deal with it. 1.00

00:31:44.380 This is science.

00:31:44.860 There's yellow card.

00:31:45.480 So anyway, we actually had all of us send in.

00:31:50.420 We had all of us look at this list

00:31:52.300 and submit their top five

00:31:53.660 so we can finally determine.

00:31:54.680 This is much clearer than the thing I was looking at.

00:31:56.560 I couldn't even read half the...

00:31:58.240 Why is Aerosmith so low?

00:32:00.300 that's weird well it's not low i think it's just like it matters on the left to right axis the the

00:32:06.320 y-axis here does not mean that's what i'm saying like why is it so left look at beyonce beyonce

00:32:10.900 is for dumb it's confirmed but anyway we did have everyone sign off their list so let's uh let's go

00:32:16.780 through it how about we do let's do tyler first because he was last getting in and you know they 0.64

00:32:21.240 say the last shall be first so we've got tyler's list what are what are his top five let me see

00:32:27.920 something corporate jimmy eat world system of a down that's not mine that's not mine it's not

00:32:34.280 no that that wasn't those aren't the ones i i didn't have the ones you circled it was something

00:32:39.040 corporate jimmy world yellow yellow card counting crows and i can't remember oh we have an inaccurate

00:32:47.220 tyler top five that's not going to cut it yeah it's it was that was all right on to the next

00:32:53.480 one all right let's go to let's go to jack's what what's jack's top five we have radiohead

00:32:58.220 the beatles okay so he loves this hippie pagan band let it be noted it's overtly pagan overtly

00:33:05.080 band david bowie definitely we've seen labyrinth that's a big movie uh david bowie i i'm into

00:33:12.860 these we have nirvana i like your list i like your list nirvana is that this is my list out of like

00:33:19.420 what's on here yeah exactly i'm a huge i'm a huge smashing pumpkins fan and i don't see the pump i

00:33:24.820 didn't see the pumpkins anywhere on there so that would be my so far to the left jack that you must

00:33:30.060 have missed it no actually they were so far to the right right they're off they're off the chart

00:33:34.540 beyond they just blew the bell curve yeah um i okay so i like radiohead i i i like some of the

00:33:41.700 beatles song i'm not like a beatles like fanatic uh david bowie i like his movies better than his

00:33:46.800 music nirvana like that metallica like that bowie's phenomenal bowie's i i got to see him

00:33:52.540 you know the thing is i just i never really i never really have absorbed david bowie but maybe

00:33:57.120 i'll have to go back and yeah all right i'm sure that's pretty high score i've heard i've heard i've

00:34:02.320 heard david bowie song all right do we have do we have an andrew list did andrew make one

00:34:06.560 all right andrew we've got bob dylan do you just love band like singers who are out of key

00:34:11.980 How does it feel?

00:34:15.600 I like Bob Dylan for a lot of reasons.

00:34:18.040 Which one is Bob Dylan?

00:34:19.340 The guy who married me is a guy named Don Williams, me and my wife.

00:34:22.800 A guy married you?

00:34:23.800 Sorry, that did come out wrong.

00:34:25.460 The pastor who married my wife and I wrote a book about Bob Dylan and his Christian faith.

00:34:33.100 That sent me down a whole rabbit trail where I started listening to Bob Dylan songs.

00:34:40.080 So I became a really big Bob Dylan song, just lyrically.

00:34:43.180 Obviously, his voice was, you know.

00:34:45.640 Troubling?

00:34:46.360 It was not perfect.

00:34:48.100 By the way, and then I ended up dating a girl when I was, I don't know, like 25, I think.

00:34:55.400 And her family house was right next to where Bob Dylan's house was in Point Doom in Malibu.

00:35:05.180 And so it's very, anyway, I just got into Bob Dylan.

00:35:07.720 It's a long story.

00:35:08.220 Pearl Jam, love them.

00:35:09.160 Seattle band

00:35:10.860 You love

00:35:11.480 So you love Bob Dylan

00:35:12.840 So you like singers

00:35:13.540 Who are out of key

00:35:14.280 I went to University

00:35:15.060 In Washington

00:35:15.600 And then you like grunge

00:35:16.800 Yeah Pearl Jam's like

00:35:17.820 The most left wing band

00:35:18.840 On the planet

00:35:19.400 Jimmy Eat World

00:35:20.480 And then George Strait

00:35:21.540 Because I was like

00:35:22.600 Give me some country in there

00:35:23.960 Because I listen to country

00:35:24.920 And I know

00:35:26.200 Which I

00:35:26.780 Everything on the list

00:35:28.540 Country was low IQ

00:35:30.120 So what are you going to do

00:35:31.340 Well I guess I can't escape

00:35:32.400 From having my list

00:35:33.200 Although mine is definitely

00:35:34.040 The toughest

00:35:34.520 I was the one who like

00:35:35.840 Bit the bullet

00:35:36.400 And just circled

00:35:37.120 Like the genre ones

00:35:38.360 which, yeah, like classic rock

00:35:40.320 I don't think I saw Queen. Wait a minute

00:35:42.440 I don't think I actually saw Queen on the list

00:35:44.420 I might want to revise mine. Probably because your musical choices

00:35:46.240 are so dumb you can't read 1.00

00:35:48.120 techno? No, not techno 1.00

00:35:49.540 I listened to an absolute crap load 0.77

00:35:52.520 of synthwave music on YouTube

00:35:53.940 You literally have a lot of the same bands as me

00:35:56.180 fantasy, like fake

00:35:57.880 80s music that they made

00:35:59.500 and I listened to tons of that. You can just circle classic rock

00:36:02.020 But I did just circle classic rock

00:36:04.320 That's fake

00:36:05.640 And then I had Metallica there 0.99

00:36:07.020 I mean overall my choices are dumb 0.98

00:36:08.780 but luckily 0.98

00:36:09.380 you like Green Day?

00:36:10.740 I didn't really like a lot

00:36:12.160 I really don't listen to a lot of these bands

00:36:14.580 which is why it's a good thing

00:36:15.700 because I came out with

00:36:16.760 you know frankly let's just say

00:36:18.300 the lowest IQ average on this one 0.99

00:36:20.240 I like pretty dumb music 0.99

00:36:21.320 which is funny 0.98

00:36:22.120 hold on

00:36:24.020 the thing is

00:36:24.620 is they did just do an updated version of the study today

00:36:27.600 that added one band

00:36:28.760 throw it up

00:36:29.760 we have the number one actual list

00:36:31.880 and

00:36:32.860 come on

00:36:33.960 throw it up

00:36:34.920 throw it up 0.89

00:36:36.460 you don't have it i sent it to you guys oh you guys are killing me well i'm gonna have to hold

00:36:42.320 you guys in suspense and filibuster until they have it ready to go five are the lowest iq of

00:36:47.280 all they are but there's a new number one iq spot isn't that weird though that you are you

00:36:53.160 are kind of viewed as the smartest person here and you have the lowest iq uh list i actually do

00:36:59.380 genuinely kind of like slightly dumb music i must say you like you like uh beyonce like you probably

00:37:06.220 do have the highest iq out of all of us that's probably true okay finally all right they got it 0.57

00:37:10.420 so breaking new science came in and actually the highest iq band by a long shot is megadeth

00:37:17.280 featuring dave mustaine did you we have that we have songs like he sells but who's buying

00:37:22.820 we have rust in peace can we get some megadeth yeah do uh do like symphony of destruction or

00:37:29.640 tornado of souls or something those are those are both good ones dave mustaine baby this is

00:37:35.440 shocking stuff yeah so that's like by far all the way to the right it's to the right of beethoven

00:37:40.840 even the highest iq band by a mile is holy wash metal pioneers who did that study because

00:37:47.980 okay blake is now doing air guitar well it's like there was a classic uh article in the onion which

00:37:58.780 pointed out uh humanity humanity still producing new art as though megadeth's rust in peace doesn't

00:38:04.720 already exist like really we could have stopped music like you guys are liking all these 90s

00:38:09.280 bands oh i love radio head i love pearl jam here's what happened in 1990 megadeth released

00:38:14.940 rust in peace it had rust in peace polaris holy wars the punishment do hanger 18 tornado of souls

00:38:22.020 it had all of those on one album this feels we really didn't need any more music after that

00:38:26.440 no but andrew fairly self-indulgent did you know that um do you know that the so dave mustane was

00:38:32.420 from megadeth was the original guitarist of metallica i didn't know that yes that's cool 0.96

00:38:38.340 so that is actually cool specifically if you listen to the um their first album uh kill them

00:38:43.940 all um a lot of those like songs the rips the solos um even though it's kirk hammett i believe

00:38:50.920 who actually plays on the album a lot of that was written by dave mustaine so like the early

00:38:56.360 metallica stuff and megadeth like kind of have the same origin basically but he was fired by

00:39:00.580 metallica why uh because he was kind of crazy uh drinking kind of crazy a lot of drinking

00:39:06.360 yeah i guess i guess why do bands break apart it's also why when yoko ono i bet you know all

00:39:12.060 the yoko ono lore let's see we've got i do but you know i think a lot of it's highly exaggerated

00:39:18.620 honestly i really do i think they were just burned out man they went hard for like what was it what

00:39:25.320 was there what was the Beatles

00:39:26.800 years it was a 10 years 1960 to

00:39:29.940 1970 yeah yeah yeah I like that's

00:39:32.380 a heck of a day XY guy the seven

00:39:34.320 XY guy is responding Beethoven

00:39:37.460 Bach handle put all of these lists 0.98

00:39:39.460 to shame that's true and then he

00:39:40.960 says lead singer from Rush ain't

00:39:42.900 no dummy but if he was a proper

00:39:45.260 Rush fan XY guy should be named

00:39:46.880 YYZ guy so you change your

00:39:49.120 moniker bro did we have the

00:39:50.320 updated my list I want to see what

00:39:51.640 my numbers were compared to your

00:39:53.580 average is probably somewhere

00:39:55.120 around 10...

00:39:57.120 Counting Crows brings me up

00:39:59.120 high. Because Counting Crows is

00:40:01.060 1214. I love Rush.

00:40:03.380 Something... So I've never

00:40:04.960 heard of... But Blink and Yellow Card really pull me down.

00:40:06.840 I have never heard of something corporate in my life.

00:40:09.080 Oh my gosh, something corporate's incredible.

00:40:11.520 I've heard the name, but I

00:40:13.060 couldn't tell you anything they do.

00:40:15.160 No, you know...

00:40:16.500 You probably know

00:40:19.100 that song...

00:40:20.800 I'm thinking Jack's Mannequin, because it turned into

00:40:23.000 Jack's Mannequin. I've never heard of

00:40:24.820 jacks mannequin either it was something corporate chances are if i've heard any of these bands i'll

00:40:29.280 only have heard them because they were on a tony hawks pro skater soundtrack were any of these guys

00:40:33.260 on tony hawks pro skater soundtrack i don't know if any of these were i i know someone who was

00:40:37.340 yellow card my primus jerry was a race car driver yeah hold on i don't know this is all like punk

00:40:44.520 this is all punk emo corporate postal service is very where's primus how come primus isn't on the 0.73

00:40:50.240 primus sucks and it really i picked rock princess i picked yeah punk rock oh geez 0.91

00:40:56.860 uh-oh oh just blast me a punk rock wait a minute wait a minute garage band king i'm getting hit by 0.98

00:41:05.360 ads i'm just trying just getting wrecked by ads wait a minute wait a minute uh-oh i woke up in a

00:41:12.400 I woke up in a car

00:41:14.220 I woke up in a car

00:41:15.880 I don't recognize it

00:41:18.320 You don't recognize that?

00:41:20.940 It's like California rock

00:41:23.560 I didn't grow up in California

00:41:24.960 I didn't grow up in California either

00:41:26.800 More to the point, I have avoided California my entire life

00:41:29.460 This is something corporate?

00:41:33.020 This is great

00:41:34.460 This is great music

00:41:35.460 All of these bands

00:41:36.600 All of these bands sound the same

00:41:39.820 It's like, I'm going to play on this guitar

00:41:41.960 Actually, something corporate is actually what my wife and I danced to as our song.

00:41:52.260 It's a song called Nurkin.

00:41:53.200 Jack's literally playing guitar right now.

00:41:55.120 This is a first.

00:41:55.900 It's actually my fretless acoustic bass.

00:41:57.880 Oh, fretless acoustic bass.

00:41:59.780 Fretless acoustic bass.

00:42:00.440 Yeah, it's kind of like out of tune, though.

00:42:02.620 Is that like a Guitar Hero controller?

00:42:04.020 so i have a theory about all these all these iqs i actually think it's more based off of

00:42:15.620 that the the time so the more popular someone was in a certain era probably made you more smart

00:42:24.180 go on so some of that 90s so some of that 90s music like pearl jam was pretty up there wasn't

00:42:32.800 it i would i would i would say it's the opposite i think that's a lagging indicator i think that

00:42:40.120 a smarter population likes smarter music so the the popularity getting of dumb music getting better

00:42:48.460 means you have more dumb people i think it could be a combination of both so you have eras of 1.00

00:42:53.780 smarter people like people were really stupid in the 60s i will say like and people were stupid but 1.00

00:42:59.900 actually the population was still like closer to a to the traditional values the things that made 0.99

00:43:05.760 america great they had like remnant smarts um so if you listen to the lyrics of like classic rock

00:43:12.400 or it you know rock in the 60s i mean it was elevated more so it was more musically complex

00:43:19.680 do you know about that they had more key changes more uh time signature changes there's more musical

00:43:28.940 variety there's more dynamic range like you'll have music that is quiet and then loud it'll have

00:43:33.180 a wider range for some reason they compress all their music like music is very refined and

00:43:38.600 simplified it's almost like it's actually kind of like what they do with drugs or fast food they

00:43:43.480 figure out how to make it more addictive and catchy yet as a result it's extremely simplified

00:43:47.480 and you don't get truly transcendent now yes now yeah yeah well it's because it's it's the

00:43:53.060 walmartification yeah of it's the big boxification of american music and it's going to be even worse

00:43:59.500 because now we can write catchy pop beats with ai and there's already hit ai music on spotify and

00:44:06.320 all of that but i think eventually we're just gonna it's just gonna be a matter of course that

00:44:09.260 the pop star is just maybe going to be a brand and you'll have a lot of ai generated fluff for

00:44:15.400 the songs on their albums because who cares like i bet i bet there's tons of ai going into k-pop

00:44:20.980 music right now but if you like caboose play to blake's point play the chain by fleetwood mac

00:44:27.960 1977 there's the dynamic range that you're talking about all over the place i think there's uh i do

00:44:35.280 think there is like sort of uh timing changes in it as well like that if you compare the chain by

00:44:42.020 fleetwood mac 1977 yeah but but i mean we're not gonna have time to listen to this like eight

00:44:50.020 It's a great song.

00:44:51.060 It's such a good song.

00:44:52.400 It is a good song.

00:44:53.200 I really like it.

00:44:53.660 It's a great song.

00:44:54.100 But like, okay.

00:44:56.660 And then you go to.

00:45:02.800 You had that quick, by the way, Caboose.

00:45:04.960 He's very good.

00:45:06.040 Okay, so, but then there's different parts of the song is what I'm saying.

00:45:11.800 The complexity of that song will be anything modern music.

00:45:15.860 Well, that's like Bob Dylan, right?

00:45:18.300 That's why I picked Bob Dylan.

00:45:19.220 Yeah, but that actually supports the Bob Dylan theory.

00:45:25.640 I think Bob Dylan's like really smart music.

00:45:27.780 What I would say is interesting, if you think of the standard song,

00:45:35.100 so many songs are basically verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge,

00:45:40.840 and then like the chorus again or something.

00:45:42.420 When you think of the songs that are most likely to top a list

00:45:46.000 of the absolute best songs in rock history

00:45:49.200 or musical history.

00:45:50.220 Have you ever noticed almost none of them

00:45:51.920 seem to actually follow that format?

00:45:54.000 So I remember growing up.

00:45:55.300 Well, so yeah, exactly.

00:45:56.500 Bohemian Rhapsody doesn't follow that.

00:45:58.560 Don't Stop Believing doesn't follow that.

00:46:01.280 Stairway to Heaven doesn't follow that.

00:46:02.940 All three of those are irregular progressive songs.

00:46:06.780 Progressive in terms of they just change throughout.

00:46:08.660 I find that interesting.

00:46:09.960 But you can't just say that like

00:46:11.040 just because something breaks the mold

00:46:12.660 like means it's going to be good.

00:46:15.100 or it's going to be popular because like go look at like Tool for example like nothing nothing that

00:46:20.500 Tool puts out you know fits that and has tons of time changes Danny Carey you know on drums like

00:46:27.180 is known for time changes but it you know that's not like quote-unquote super popular but but

00:46:32.480 Blake's point is actually a really good one because I and I've never really thought about

00:46:36.140 it this some of my favorite songs of my favorite artists it's a good non-traditional I haven't

00:46:42.440 thought about this but it's a really like jimmy world one of my favorite songs ever is goodbye

00:46:46.280 sky harbor and it follows it's that same same thing something like top guns and roses songs

00:46:54.040 november rain has an irregular structure hammers and strings sweet child of mine has an irregular

00:46:57.940 structure now the year my favorites i'm thinking about it is still verse chorus it's just really

00:47:02.940 long some of my favorite some of my favorite songs ever have been totally right i mean that

00:47:06.800 the fact that it's really long though breaks sort of like so speaking of well like i think

00:47:11.800 it lends to longer songs do you follow that like so the irregularity creates longer songs because

00:47:17.820 they have different yeah we've got a good flow to this so to get into our third topic so you

00:47:24.560 mentioned was something corporate your dance song at your wedding or what was your first dance song

00:47:27.800 okay and was so that was that what was your first dance song something corporate hurricane

00:47:31.980 don't get me in trouble

00:47:34.980 you don't oh no

00:47:36.820 no like I think it was

00:47:39.320 something like so we had a great

00:47:41.280 musical like wedding

00:47:42.920 I mean we had great music we had a live band

00:47:45.100 and all this stuff but I think our first dance song was like

00:47:47.140 pretty sappy

00:47:48.280 that's fine

00:47:49.760 how about you Jack

00:47:52.920 what was your first dance song

00:47:54.020 so we did like two

00:47:56.340 we did like a slow song and a fast

00:47:59.480 song

00:47:59.980 And the slow song was

00:48:04.080 Oh My Love by John Lennon

00:48:05.460 And then the fast song was

00:48:08.120 Wait, what's it actually called?

00:48:11.260 Like Wake Me Up by Wham

00:48:12.580 Oh, that's a great one

00:48:14.180 I love that song

00:48:15.760 It's called Wake Me Up, right?

00:48:18.420 Yeah, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go

00:48:19.540 I don't, of course, have one

00:48:22.100 I do know my parents

00:48:23.060 My parents was

00:48:23.880 May I Have This Stance for the Rest of My Life 0.53

00:48:26.260 By whoever did that song

00:48:27.660 So now that you're talking about

00:48:29.940 weddings we have so we have to we ask that we're going to the dirty underbelly of this which is

00:48:35.660 story in the new york times where the new york times loves to write about trends that are oh

00:48:40.180 wait actually it was people mag never mind i just like to be up in the new york times anyway so what

00:48:44.840 it is is there is a new trend that they're profiling because they want it to happen just

00:48:50.160 like polyamory and it's women throwing wedding parties for themselves when they turn 40 when

00:48:56.700 they are not actually getting married so it's a fake wedding level blowout what we're turning 40

00:49:02.920 and this trend is if not sweeping america it's at least sweeping the pages of people magazine

00:49:09.480 and sweeping your timeline on x to propagandize you to prove you don't need a partner to celebrate

00:49:16.380 yourself man what you know so you're throwing like like 40th birthday parties that are that

00:49:23.700 that are made to look like weddings?

00:49:25.460 Is that what you're saying?

00:49:26.260 Yes.

00:49:26.380 Every day we fall for a wedding. 1.00

00:49:28.300 These women devoted themselves to like corporate ladder climbing. 1.00

00:49:32.220 And so they may not have a partner, 1.00

00:49:33.920 but they probably have enough money to throw a very extravagant,

00:49:37.400 expensive party like a wedding.

00:49:39.120 I can't even picture this.

00:49:40.520 Can I see a video of this?

00:49:42.640 Do we have?

00:49:43.280 Every day we fall further from God.

00:49:46.820 We have a video of this apparently.

00:49:48.980 Can I please see this?

00:49:50.100 Spiritual soul rot on display.

00:49:54.200 We actually have a lot, but I think people get on me for saying that we need, you know,

00:49:59.980 I've never actually said that we need a new Franco, but man, you see stuff like this and

00:50:04.640 it's like overtly pagan.

00:50:06.580 Yeah.

00:50:07.100 All right.

00:50:07.380 So we're told to start.

00:50:08.420 We have several clips.

00:50:09.240 Let's start to let Tyler understand this.

00:50:12.000 Let's play clip five.

00:50:13.240 I can't even picture this.

00:50:14.760 This weekend, I'm throwing myself a wedding birthday.

00:50:17.880 It's my own wedding.

00:50:19.060 Son's husband had a manor in the British countryside for my 40th.

00:50:22.920 You know, I never had a wedding.

00:50:24.180 So I was like, how do I celebrate the biggest way possible? 0.99

00:50:27.680 Princess, shut up. 1.00

00:50:31.540 Yeah, no, literally shut up. 1.00

00:50:35.580 Here's the itinerary. 0.99

00:50:36.820 Black tie, first night.

00:50:38.680 Everyone's wearing black.

00:50:40.020 And then I will be in a white gown.

00:50:42.440 People escape very soft.

00:50:43.620 Something tells me that she shouldn't be in white.

00:50:45.060 Red lights.

00:50:46.220 Think dripping candles.

00:50:47.880 figs

00:50:49.060 and we'll party in the living room like an aristocrat

00:50:52.420 next morning is princess diana

00:50:54.360 themed british countryside shooting day

00:50:56.260 don't worry we're just using clay

00:50:57.760 very ralph lauren

00:50:59.360 finally the birthday night

00:51:03.000 studio 54 vibe

00:51:04.520 glitter sequins just over the top

00:51:06.740 don't worry

00:51:07.400 I really 0.98

00:51:12.160 wait why did it end with like a gay dance party 0.99

00:51:14.560 at the end 0.87

00:51:15.020 for all of her gay friends i guess wouldn't happen in a normal way i really genuinely don't

00:51:22.240 know what to make of that like if you got invited to a party like that do you go no no i mean listen 0.83

00:51:31.040 i mean it just shows where we're at culturally it just shows the you know the lack i mean this

00:51:36.000 i think we all know what charlie would say about this you know i mean it just it just shows where

00:51:41.760 at as a society and you you would wish and that people have this fulfillment that is being unmet

00:51:50.160 this this desire that's being unmet because of their own choices because they eschewed family

00:51:57.440 and marriage and child rearing and yet they still want those feelings and so they've created for

00:52:04.060 themselves this false reality of it's like the participation trophy right like you didn't

00:52:10.960 actually achieve or commit to a wedding which is supposed to be you know a union between two

00:52:17.580 individuals in the sight of man and in the sight of god and instead you are just two individuals

00:52:22.820 to be specific oh yeah obviously yes but you know two souls is what i'm trying to say and

00:52:28.320 the idea here is that it's like there's no unity there's no union at the part of this other than

00:52:34.740 like you and yourself right like that's what this is you notice there's no like there isn't even a

00:52:40.380 boyfriend there isn't even a stand-in for a husband here there's no sign of god at all it's

00:52:44.980 all just a celebration of the self well that headline from people magazine where it says you

00:52:49.580 don't need a partner to celebrate yourself yeah and it turns out there was a new york times when

00:52:53.520 we had both uh the new york times one is a wedding party no husband required yeah that is a so is it

00:53:00.200 just this gal or is this a trend it's like it's like that that movie what's the the the housemaid

00:53:06.140 right where it's just it's anti-marriage it's anti-husband it's it's all this like hyper 0.64

00:53:11.300 feminist um gobbledygook you know gaga that's just everywhere today and you know it's like 0.58

00:53:19.520 you don't need a man you could like i said you that you know going back where do we hear that 1.00

00:53:24.300 you don't need a man frozen it was a disney movie it was a lesbian making it about frozen again

00:53:29.820 lesbian propaganda here we go here we go again all i know is that um there's something about 0.73

00:53:38.220 this that i find a little bit uh like disrespectful it's almost sacrilegious because the wedding in

00:53:45.680 white 100 as you mentioned jack it's like you it's something you do have to achieve but just

00:53:51.820 basically saying to the world i don't have to achieve this to still wear white and be the

00:53:56.320 center of attention and everybody's there for me it's really narcissistic but it's and it's

00:54:01.300 self-serving but it's also just disrespectful to the institution of marriage it's everyone gets a

00:54:07.540 trophy type stuff well it's sort of like it's just anti-tradition it's it's like we feel so bad for

00:54:14.820 you uh or for ourselves that we're just going to give ourselves the things that we feel like

00:54:21.060 and again it feels very similar to also like the disney adult thing where it's like people like

00:54:28.200 living out yeah it does that's exactly right people like i don't know why that like like this

00:54:32.580 like triggered that for me but it's like people no yeah that's 100 it's the same wavelength

00:54:36.620 like the exact same way they didn't get to do it when they were kids or whatever and so like now

00:54:42.660 they're fulfilling out this like fantasy of like being a kid because what is that right that's

00:54:48.880 that's the you know millennials with disposable income who haven't achieved those life wickets

00:54:54.820 those life benchmarks and milestones that you're supposed to hit by certain ages so by that age

00:55:01.000 you you typically do have like children and you are then starting to want to bring your kids to

00:55:07.980 uh to you know do family stuff and yet you don't have that so it's this infantilization which of

00:55:13.840 course charlie also talked about the extended adolescence where where people don't leave it

00:55:19.180 and so it's like we're going to infantilize ourselves and act like we're children and go

00:55:24.180 to disney by ourselves we have a great so this 40th birthday party is very similar where it's

00:55:30.460 like you're doing something right and it's this fantasy of something that you should have probably

00:55:35.360 done at an earlier time period in your life but we've got we've got a great still omitting just

00:55:39.780 like disney like you don't have the kids with you you're doing it it makes you feel good stroking

00:55:44.580 something in your ego i i haven't seen this clip but i can tell it's going to be great and it's a

00:55:49.740 broken generation let's uh let's do number eight okay i'm about to walk down the aisle and this

00:55:56.900 moment is for every little girl and every 20 something and every 30 something that waited

00:56:02.720 their whole lives to get married and maybe it didn't work out and they still wanted to have

00:56:09.220 this moment so it's my 40th birthday tonight and i decided to throw a wedding birthday in the

00:56:16.280 british countryside in a manor it's this huge estate it's straight out of downton abbey and i

00:56:21.160 had this moment where i thought i am the first woman in 300 years that has rented this house

00:56:28.520 for herself and celebrated herself i'm gonna object in general one probably not two you just

00:56:37.760 shouldn't do a party to celebrate yourself i think in general i think it's self-indulgent

00:56:43.560 i would say probably not even if even if she was married and everything i think it would be

00:56:48.780 incredibly self-indulgent to just throw a party for yourself turning 40 or 50 i think ideally

00:56:54.760 you'd have a spouse and they would organize it and throw it for you or it could be your friends

00:56:58.900 would do it there's there's ways to do it but in general you should not throw parties that are just

00:57:02.760 i am awesome i just like i miss like a an ethic a value system in which people just get old and

00:57:10.000 they don't make it about themselves like old people acting old yeah like just just do something

00:57:17.780 more conventional and it's so refreshing now when you just see like old people becoming adults and

00:57:23.320 then they like think about the image we have of grannies you know loving grammys they still live 0.94

00:57:27.700 on a farm they're making i was thinking about this think about how that's all going to vanish 0.53

00:57:31.120 when your 75 year old grandma has tattoos and like boobs and like social media posts that are

00:57:36.820 still out there of her being a bad girl at 22 i i was thinking about this the other day so when i 1.00

00:57:41.640 was a kid when you we were all kids think about your grandma they had like bobbed hair like some 0.52

00:57:46.280 of them dyed them some of it was just gray and like those women that are now that age now they've 0.93

00:57:51.600 got like long hair it's dyed they're they've got work done they're like trying to look as young as

00:57:57.340 possible our granny our grannies like literally just look like old old ladies and it was great

00:58:03.200 that's like the golden girls thing is like they were like in their 40s and they look like 0.82

00:58:06.260 literally like like they look like this is like i am noticing the golden girls are like literally 1.00

00:58:12.000 in their late 40s and some of those those ladies they're like we thought they were like that is 0.86

00:58:18.520 that true okay so okay the characters were in their 50s and 80s blanche was roughly 53 dorothy

00:58:26.340 and rose were 55 and sophia was 79 oh wow which one was sophia oh was sophia the like really really

00:58:32.140 old one yeah yeah man i was like the mom but she wasn't that old but you know i was thinking about 1.00

00:58:36.960 with this whole thing is like how how offensive it also is to the women who don't do this right 1.00

00:58:42.700 like they have enough self-respect that's like it's almost offensive speaking of golden girls 0.71

00:58:46.960 we have to we have to say the great connection that so you know who do you know who the son

00:58:52.380 of the creator of the golden girls is scott adams close actually it's not scott adams no it's like

00:59:01.280 sam harris oh really okay interesting wait wait i want to finish my thought i want to finish my

00:59:07.700 thought on this though the women who who look at this and it actually i think this is part of the

00:59:13.520 mental illness that makes women feel bad on social media so you have one woman throwing herself a 0.96

00:59:19.420 birthday party that is meant to replicate a wedding there's plenty of women out there that 0.93

00:59:25.380 are unmarried for maybe it's not their own choice maybe they just i mean i know lots of people good

00:59:30.420 people yeah couldn't find the right guy couldn't find the right guy whatever i feel really bad for

00:59:33.640 them um but that person's seen another person do something like this i feel like makes it worse

00:59:41.420 for all those people i don't like to me it's like and this is like this is the same thing with the

00:59:46.340 social media generation this is like the disney adult thing this is about like people who do the

00:59:52.460 you know perfect perfection vacation thing that they put on social media even though you know

00:59:58.560 that's probably not true or the perfect house thing or whatever like do you remember do you

01:00:04.380 remember hanksgiving remember we did that a while back was the hanksgiving that they all had together

01:00:09.840 it was like thanksgiving oh yeah tom hanks yeah the same same thing but it's just like it just

01:00:15.940 to me it's just like I don't think it helps

01:00:18.040 society in general like doing

01:00:20.180 these things and again it's a free country

01:00:22.040 like do whatever you want but like 1.00

01:00:23.400 there's a bunch of women who follow this woman 1.00

01:00:26.080 she's probably got friends she probably has a 1.00

01:00:28.120 social media following that's part of the reason 0.99

01:00:30.060 why she's doing this

01:00:31.060 it's this whole trend 1.00

01:00:34.240 you see it with like shout your abortion

01:00:35.720 right where there's actually shame over something

01:00:38.140 and they're trying to reclaim something that makes

01:00:40.100 them feel shameful to like be like

01:00:41.920 I'm just gonna buck the trend and screw the

01:00:43.960 tradition and and i'm gonna i'm gonna be loud and proud even in my shame well that's a perfect

01:00:48.120 transition what if one of them does a like wedding level 80 000 party for their abortion

01:00:55.240 that's pretty sick that'd be i bet it's happened actually because because they you gotta understand 0.87

01:01:01.720 like the human condition we have we sin and therefore we have shame and if you don't if

01:01:06.280 you're not a christian there's no there's no mechanism to get rid of that shame and so you

01:01:10.520 try and invent human celebrations or institutions to remove that shame from yourself so that's all

01:01:17.340 this is actually it was interesting I was having this back and forth uh Jack you know Lisa Booth

01:01:22.660 right uh she's yeah Fox News so she was kind of she went on this whole thing about saying that

01:01:27.400 the problem with the right is that we make marriage and family feel like obligatory so if you

01:01:33.020 are not that you you feel ashamed or you feel like you're out of the club and if on the left

01:01:38.700 they demonize marriage and abortion

01:01:41.200 so they don't 1.00

01:01:41.840 her point was that there's a bunch of women that don't feel like 1.00

01:01:44.740 they belong to either camp 1.00

01:01:46.640 when it comes to this issue

01:01:47.780 and then

01:01:49.440 I think that there's a lot of people

01:01:52.440 that have kids that feel like

01:01:54.180 by the liberal progressive society they have to feel

01:01:56.960 ashamed or they have to hide their

01:01:58.760 joy or hide their kids or hide all the

01:02:00.740 good things about their family because there's so 1.00

01:02:02.780 many women in culture that aren't experiencing this 0.96

01:02:04.820 and so it's just 0.97

01:02:06.320 I don't know what the answer is exactly 1.00

01:02:08.580 But to me, it's like if we don't lift up the ideal, you're going to have a bunch of people like this 40 year old crazy lady that goes flies over and spends one hundred thousand dollars on a fake wedding for herself. 0.94

01:02:18.460 because that's no that's exactly right and and it's like again i mean this i'll like defer to

01:02:25.720 to to the man himself but ck used to talk about this a lot he said it's it's not about like

01:02:30.740 forcing anyone to make any one decision or or another it's just talking about what is the

01:02:37.040 greater societal good and we see through study after study that marriage two-parent households

01:02:44.860 that with a mom and a dad are always the best outcomes for society and so if our government

01:02:51.500 or our political movements are going to push for certain things we should always push for the

01:02:56.940 things that we know are the most beneficial pro-social things and that is a general goal

01:03:03.560 that doesn't mean it's like every person has to fit i have a catholic question for you on that

01:03:07.800 kind of same thought does the catholic church have a a strong position on surrogacy like they

01:03:13.560 don't like it and sir i mean i can't imagine they're for it i would have to check no it's not

01:03:18.400 okay catholics don't even like don't they don't like ivf either do they have a position i'm sure

01:03:22.580 catholics are against ivf to begin with so they would so they would have uh they would have a

01:03:26.740 strong position on like a gay couple adopting a kid too oh 100 against because they're against

01:03:31.660 well they're against every level yeah just double check i didn't want to like speak out of turn but

01:03:35.940 yes the catholic church strictly opposes all forms of surrogacy viewing it as a grave violation of

01:03:41.260 human dignity the integrity of marriage and the procuration process i feel the same i get really

01:03:45.900 weirded out with surrogacy and i can't like and i it's like one of those things where you're like

01:03:50.000 it's like buying a child yeah it's weird there's something weird about like renting a womb

01:03:55.600 i just find it it's weird i mean with ivf the biggest objection is that you basically make

01:04:00.940 10 human lives and throw nine of them away a bunch of them the church would still dislike it

01:04:05.800 in 2024 the church would still dislike it if you could just make one and because they don't like

01:04:11.540 the means what if you were like hey we're going to implant uh 10 embryos fertilized uh embryos

01:04:17.860 and you if you have 10 you have to keep all they still they still what if you commit as a good

01:04:24.320 catholic to saying i'm going to take all of them it's less bad because you're not throwing lives

01:04:28.000 away intentionally uh they still don't like it the the church's position is quite trad where

01:04:32.960 Basically, you should only have kids by, like, the proper natural method.

01:04:36.960 The old school way.

01:04:37.760 Yes.

01:04:38.540 They're still okay with adoption, but, you know.

01:04:40.860 I think part of the theory with that is that there's so much, isn't it just, like, the holiness of the system that God gave us and playing God with these things?

01:04:56.380 It's kind of viewed as playing God.

01:04:57.440 Well, and it's also, that's part of it too, but it's also about how the church has always positioned that the procreative act should take place within the confines of marriage, that the point of marriage is procreation and children and that act of the bringing together of the mother and the father through marriage and through procreation.

01:05:20.460 And so whenever you're, you know, abrogating that process somehow or, you know, sidestepping it or whatever it may be.

01:05:29.920 So you're telling me, Jack, you could have a 40th birthday party, pretend to get married and then have a kid without ever having sex.

01:05:37.540 Wow. 0.96

01:05:38.840 That is the liberal way. 0.97

01:05:40.060 That is the sex in the city way.

01:05:43.320 You will own nothing and you will be happy.

01:05:44.880 Before we abandon this topic, I'm looking at the New York Times article and there's something very funny I see,

01:05:48.760 which they talked to some woman who does consulting

01:05:51.240 for these wedding-style 40th birthday parties.

01:05:54.040 Oh, so this is a trend.

01:05:54.900 It's not just her.

01:05:55.480 Yes, yes.

01:05:55.980 There's a consultant who does this.

01:05:57.560 It's a real thing.

01:05:57.960 And she says,

01:05:59.440 the planning process is more streamlined than a wedding,

01:06:02.000 and such events generally cost just 10% to 30%

01:06:06.320 of a typical wedding budget.

01:06:08.480 So hear me out.

01:06:09.800 Here's an idea.

01:06:11.380 You're planning to get married,

01:06:12.840 but you tell them it's either a 40th birthday fake wedding

01:06:17.060 or a divorce party,

01:06:18.360 get all the stuff for wedding related things but you get it cheaper because you didn't say the w

01:06:24.520 word that doubles the price of everything and then bam oh switcheroo you have a clergyman there

01:06:30.240 and you bring a guy you actually do the thing yeah you bring you bring a guy do you want to

01:06:35.980 know it's weird you want to create i don't know why this didn't make it to thought what are you

01:06:39.380 accidentally wait wait no like can i you know funny i know i was gonna say it'd be funny is

01:06:44.800 is uh what if you're having one of these like fake marriage parties but you hire the guy

01:06:48.640 right who's but it turns out the guy's like actually ordained in the state that you're

01:06:52.400 having the party in and you accidentally get actually married at like the fake the fake

01:06:58.420 marriage party and you're like wait a minute that sounds like a terrible 90s i was gonna say it

01:07:03.140 sounds like rom-com sounds like yeah like jason bateman in this like it was getting recently

01:07:08.260 convoluted and for like some dumb reason they are required to also live together for a while

01:07:13.140 okay hold on i have to take this it's gonna oh you have something i have a real i have a really

01:07:17.260 important point i'm sure and i'm sorry to offend all the women that i'm saying right now 0.57

01:07:21.660 but no man would ever do this no of course not oh wait a gay man would okay okay well no

01:07:29.420 no street be a different type of party yeah i mean speaking of which but did you know this 0.65

01:07:34.840 but but this is like but that's also it's like what's feeding the egos of women in america today 1.00

01:07:41.380 where they like feminism it's the feminism it's social media boss babe you can have it all even

01:07:47.460 if you don't have it all hey so did you guys know that minneapolis is thinking about bringing back

01:07:53.160 bath houses for the first time after a 40 nearly 40 year ban oh you really wanted to get into this

01:07:59.040 no i mean like this well it kind of made me think about we started talking about gay couples

01:08:02.580 getting uh doing adoptions they're okay so just to put this like in perspective they believe in

01:08:09.560 unlimited Muslims, unlimited 0.99

01:08:11.660 Somali fraud pirate people, 1.00

01:08:14.240 and bathhouses. 0.97

01:08:15.820 And it's like George Floyd.

01:08:18.440 They really are our most Canadian

01:08:20.020 city. They are the most

01:08:21.800 Canadian city in the country.

01:08:26.780 There's a lot going on.

01:08:28.220 Adult bathhouses were a component of

01:08:30.040 nightlife prior to the advent of the AIDS

01:08:32.080 crisis in the 1980s, which

01:08:34.080 led to the passage of numerous ordinances

01:08:36.180 banning them among virtually

01:08:38.160 all u.s urban areas imagine that yeah in 1988 minneapolis passed an ordinance to ban bath

01:08:45.980 houses there were three bath houses that existed in the city hennepin baths locker room baths and

01:08:51.480 big daddy's bath house big daddy's bath all of them closed prior to the to the bad locker room

01:08:58.020 baths was known as the 315 health club at the time of closure why were they banned after the

01:09:04.920 first positive hiv test in minneapolis in 1982 concern grew about the spread of the virus so um

01:09:11.440 wait so so let me let me get this straight so bathhouses were pretty much the only place you

01:09:17.480 could go because it was so it was gay men just had sexual encounters at the back but but being

01:09:23.740 gay back in those days was like it was very taboo like by cultures cultural standards part of the

01:09:31.720 reason why bathhouses existed was because it was so taboo within the community to like just like go

01:09:36.600 like be gay in public well this yeah i don't think that's why they had those well i think it's part

01:09:41.720 of it i mean i think it's a i think they also have them met men yeah well like men met men and 0.96

01:09:46.640 then also they would have those parties and they would have sex with them five minutes after meeting

01:09:50.680 sure yeah of course behavior well that's that true but that's also like pretty pretty common 0.88

01:09:56.500 in the gay community but like like they just meet and hook up and it's a big hookup culture

01:10:01.080 but here's my question is because they have so many uh immigrants coming to minneapolis 0.85

01:10:08.360 is that the reason why they're reintroducing bathhouses because it's so uh it's it's so

01:10:14.780 taboo within these immigrant cultures to be gay that they need the bathhouses i don't know i think

01:10:20.240 it's just they're going so far left and like hiv is not the fear that it once was right um although 0.98

01:10:27.780 you know then it's going to be uh monkey pox so just to make sure people get angry did you know

01:10:33.700 that the a lot of doctors so do you guys know about antibiotic resistance yeah like we're not

01:10:38.760 supposed to just take antibiotics all the time it's a really serious thing resistant to them

01:10:42.680 and then we're going to get new super bugs and that's why we have tb that resists it did you

01:10:46.220 know that a lot of doctors will just kind of put gay men on antibiotics just a regular dose of them

01:10:53.320 like it's you know taking a daily aspirin because yeah because you know they're they're prone to

01:10:58.280 getting a lot of diseases and you know we wouldn't want them to get diseases we so we'll just uh we'll

01:11:01.760 just chip away at our antibiotic resistance so they can keep going to clubs another thing did 1.00

01:11:06.220 you know that the federal government will find like gay prostitute drug addicts and stuff who 1.00

01:11:12.600 We're at high risk of contracting HIV and we'll give them free prep, 1.00

01:11:16.200 which is the AIDS kind of HIV blocker prophylactic keeps it from developing

01:11:21.080 the AIDS,

01:11:21.780 which costs many thousands of dollars a year to take.

01:11:24.680 I think a few years ago,

01:11:26.180 it was like $35,000 a year or so,

01:11:28.260 but it might,

01:11:28.620 it's probably less by now.

01:11:29.400 Does it make it so you don't contract it?

01:11:31.900 I think it makes it harder to contract it,

01:11:34.900 but it also,

01:11:35.720 even if you have it,

01:11:36.380 it kind of keeps it,

01:11:37.240 it makes it a manageable chronic condition instead of a death sentence.

01:11:40.520 but they will just find people vulnerable to this

01:11:43.160 and the federal government will pay

01:11:44.960 that many thousands of dollars to give it to them for free

01:11:47.040 the federal government is still doing this

01:11:48.340 yes

01:11:48.600 wild

01:11:51.060 tax dollars at work

01:11:53.880 it's like that California law

01:11:55.020 where it's like no longer a crime

01:11:59.000 or something that's downgraded

01:12:00.880 if you knowingly spread HIV

01:12:02.440 there's so many

01:12:04.540 so many

01:12:05.640 analogies to

01:12:08.600 things that happen in Lord of the Rings with that.

01:12:11.920 Ready, Set,

01:12:13.100 Prep is a federal program that provides

01:12:14.780 pre-exposure prophylaxis medication

01:12:16.740 at no cost to individuals without

01:12:18.660 prescription drug coverage. So these guys are just like

01:12:20.660 man whores and they 1.00

01:12:22.700 get paid by the federal government? 1.00

01:12:24.940 Yes. Jeez Louise.

01:12:27.380 Does President

01:12:28.840 Trump know about this? Actually, he's like

01:12:30.900 weirdly pro-gay. 1.00

01:12:33.560 The government and the frogs. 0.97

01:12:34.960 He's a New York City guy.

01:12:37.020 I love this article I was reading, by the way.

01:12:38.840 It says, adult bathhouses are community spaces historically frequented by gay men

01:12:43.420 where people could also engage in sexual activity or relax after going out to the bars.

01:12:47.660 Or relax.

01:12:49.020 Have you guys ever been to a bathhouse?

01:12:50.340 Just chill.

01:12:50.940 No.

01:12:51.260 Chill with the bros.

01:12:52.180 Thank God.

01:12:53.580 I've been to a bathhouse.

01:12:54.760 Is there a difference, Jack, between a European, Eastern European bathhouse

01:12:58.860 and what we're talking about here?

01:13:01.120 It was in Hungary, yeah.

01:13:02.220 Yeah.

01:13:02.580 It's different, though, right?

01:13:03.160 I guess technically like Central Europe.

01:13:04.440 so i've been i've been a bathhouse in budapest yeah but it's isn't it different in the culture

01:13:09.860 surrounding it is is different or is it the same it depends some some are gay stuff and some are

01:13:15.980 i mean this is like when you go to budapest like bathhouses and um you know the ancient 0.65

01:13:22.340 it's like a hot springs yeah it's like a hot spring thing so like you go in and it's you know

01:13:28.200 it's co-ed so like i went with tanya and it's i don't know it's kind of like going to like a

01:13:32.340 community pool but it was in like a

01:13:34.100 you know it's like a hot springs

01:13:36.520 kind of deal so like they have that

01:13:38.040 Idaho as well they have like hot springs

01:13:40.460 you can just go to

01:13:41.380 do you know the phrase in Russian

01:13:44.320 Jack that they say for the bathhouses

01:13:46.660 no

01:13:46.940 what is it

01:13:52.000 it basically translates to

01:13:54.480 like have an easy steam or

01:13:56.400 have a nice steam

01:13:58.260 oh

01:13:58.720 So you say that to people

01:14:03.280 when they're going to the bathhouse

01:14:05.320 and you say,

01:14:05.660 that's considered kind of normal.

01:14:08.100 The coolest thing,

01:14:09.540 since he does mention it,

01:14:10.500 in Budapest,

01:14:11.000 they do have a giant bathhouse.

01:14:11.960 It's the Sessioni bathhouse

01:14:13.200 and it's from the 1800s.

01:14:15.320 So it's this big palace

01:14:16.520 with Belle Epoque architecture.

01:14:19.040 You should get a picture of it.

01:14:20.120 And what's cool about it,

01:14:22.500 especially I went to Budapest in February,

01:14:25.020 so it was cold out,

01:14:26.100 but it is a mineral bath.

01:14:28.720 and so is that the one that's like the out like it has a big outdoor pool and so if it's cold

01:14:34.360 it's still open it's still i know what you're talking about it's still 105 degrees or whatever

01:14:39.360 the temperature is of a hot spring and it's just steaming like crazy the whole time because it's

01:14:44.620 cold out and just spraying it out everywhere like a resort in the bahamas or something it's more of

01:14:49.580 like a again that that culture of eastern europe is it's it's more of like a public pool yeah this

01:14:54.720 This is not – this doesn't seem like it.

01:14:56.360 It's more like public pools and like – and it's almost like –

01:14:59.540 Okay.

01:14:59.980 It's almost like a hot spring.

01:15:01.600 Hold on.

01:15:02.360 We have to transition even though this is – this has been weird.

01:15:06.660 We went to the Gellert.

01:15:08.360 The Gellert thermal bath.

01:15:09.280 This has been weird, but we have to try something.

01:15:10.760 This could be awful, so we apologize in advance,

01:15:13.820 but we're going to try something new here

01:15:15.780 because we want to bring you guys into the culture of the office actually.

01:15:20.100 and Blake often comes up with random, bizarre, obscene would-you-rathers.

01:15:26.800 Oh, dear.

01:15:28.240 He does.

01:15:29.240 It's true.

01:15:30.040 Would you rather?

01:15:32.220 Would you rather?

01:15:33.480 Don't look surprised.

01:15:34.400 I don't even know what this is.

01:15:35.500 Is this an AI-generated thing?

01:15:37.100 I'm deeply concerned.

01:15:38.200 I was just like a 50-story show.

01:15:40.420 So would you rather?

01:15:42.080 Would you rather, Blake?

01:15:43.020 Give us some would you rather.

01:15:44.020 You know, I have one I'm just making up off the fly.

01:15:45.880 Would you rather go to one of those newly opened Minneapolis bathhouses and you don't have to do anything?

01:15:51.600 You can just kind of sit there, but you have to sit there for the whole evening. 1.00

01:15:55.320 Or go to one of these 40-year-old single woman weddings? 0.86

01:16:01.500 I'm going to go to the 40-year-old single wedding.

01:16:03.320 What if it's really sad?

01:16:04.480 What if she's like insanely unwell and desolate?

01:16:06.980 Going to the wedding.

01:16:07.840 I'm going to the wedding.

01:16:08.580 I'd like anything to avoid.

01:16:11.180 There's probably free food at the wedding, so that is a good point.

01:16:13.540 Yeah, that's a good point.

01:16:14.180 Blake's weak spot

01:16:15.840 That was a weak one

01:16:19.600 So we actually had

01:16:20.720 There's that classic one people have asked 0.95

01:16:23.500 That's like would you rather have a gay son 0.96

01:16:25.840 Or like a kind of thought daughter 0.97

01:16:27.320 But I thought of a kind of

01:16:29.120 We developed that into a more

01:16:31.620 Interesting one I think

01:16:32.560 Would you rather have a sort of 1.00

01:16:34.820 Loose daughter or a 1.00

01:16:37.440 Loser son 1.00

01:16:38.380 Like they're a big time loser 0.99

01:16:40.700 Don't have a job 0.97

01:16:42.480 can't... Does my daughter grow out of it 0.98

01:16:44.900 eventually? We can't speak to that.

01:16:48.840 I would say that's a loser behavior for both, by the way.

01:16:51.060 It 100% is, so would you rather?

01:16:53.120 I would say...

01:16:55.120 Gosh,

01:16:57.260 that is hard, actually. I would say

01:16:58.920 probably the daughter, because I'm going to

01:17:00.880 take her to church and try and help her.

01:17:04.160 She never gets better,

01:17:05.160 though.

01:17:06.800 She starts

01:17:07.480 influencing others at church.

01:17:10.320 Jack doesn't have a daughter.

01:17:12.280 She leads the people at church astray.

01:17:13.740 She has an affair with the pastor. 0.91

01:17:15.340 So he's going to pick the daughter. 1.00

01:17:17.220 No, I would actually say loser son. 0.95

01:17:19.740 I would actually say loser son because I feel like that would be easier to fix than having a thought daughter. 0.97

01:17:25.820 It never gets better, though, Jack. 0.99

01:17:27.380 You just have to live with a loser son. 0.99

01:17:30.220 No, you didn't say that. 1.00

01:17:31.500 You didn't stipulate it never gets better.

01:17:33.520 I said I couldn't speak to that.

01:17:34.800 would you rather have a canadian daughter or a i don't know where i'm going with this after

01:17:41.300 i'm just thinking about the what was it the wwi ggb oh yeah yeah yeah uh you know we had gosh

01:17:48.760 mmi oh we can't worry about that one later no so we got to split the chat one someone in the chat

01:17:54.420 says they would take the loser son uh someone says i was the loser son okay so that's that's

01:18:00.180 a good point towards getting better see you can't get better but tyler looked at me and goes 0.96

01:18:03.920 should never get scared all right all right you can't look the loser son the failed son can be

01:18:09.720 fixed i mean look at tyler like he's he's he's come so far totally a related one and this is 0.97

01:18:15.300 this one i think is really interesting would you rather have your daughter marry a muslim but it's

01:18:20.740 like a totally normal marriage they have their kids in wedlock all of that but she is married 0.99

01:18:24.860 to a muslim man or pump and dump trashy single mom you know three kids three different dads 0.99

01:18:31.200 what your daughter is the yeah this is your daughter and both of them and one of them 0.99

01:18:37.500 or we don't even we don't even need to say three it could just be what's like she's just she gets

01:18:40.880 knocked up and abandoned by the dad baby daddies or even just one she gets knocked up and abandoned

01:18:45.180 by the dad and she's a single mom or marries a guy and has kids normally but is a muslim

01:18:50.380 practicing muslim yes yeah avid muslim you go first on this one oh man

01:18:57.300 uh uh uh is she a good evangelist i'll say i'll say in this in my in my case because i feel like

01:19:08.580 the gender doesn't matter on this one you could say like son and then you know multiple women or

01:19:13.460 you know it definitely makes it worse if it's like a woman i mean it makes it it makes it worse 0.64

01:19:18.280 obviously um so wait in in this sense are the single uh are they all are they all christian 0.98

01:19:26.860 the the single relationships or whatever well i would say i i would say if she's the single mom

01:19:33.000 you can assume she is either yeah she's either christian but not following the rule as well

01:19:37.120 or maybe non-religious but the other she's she's converting to islam and oh she's converting to

01:19:41.760 islam oh then i'll do i'll do the the singles single every time singles all right or at least

01:19:46.400 or would it make a difference if she wasn't muslim but he did raise the kids muslim that's

01:19:51.020 still still single yeah i think i i definitely got to go for that one uh and did you have a

01:19:57.460 pirate a couple i had a one uh oh man what was that oh i guess is that is that not i can't

01:20:03.080 remember what the brian gnome one was it was a good one anyways this is this is uh i don't know

01:20:07.900 if do you guys want us to keep doing would you rather i can do a weirder one i can do a weirder

01:20:11.840 one no would you rather is a good in fact what we should do is we should open the would you

01:20:15.820 rathers up to like the rumble rants and so have we should what we should do going forward is have

01:20:21.980 people like when we start the uh send your best show others yes you know send us your would you

01:20:28.560 rathers and then in the last segment we'll you know we'll do them we've done a lot of musical

01:20:33.720 themed ones so i do want to do one on that on that front because we talked about this would you

01:20:37.180 rather see how he does this would you rather get a new album from your all-time favorite band and

01:20:43.640 just for the hypothetical it's it comes out it's at the peak of their quality from your point of

01:20:49.260 view and it's a 10 out of 10 album so it's new content yeah so yeah it's new so like let's say

01:20:53.120 your favorite band was guns and roses it comes out 1989 and it's 10 out of 10 and it's 12 new

01:20:59.380 songs that are as good as any guns and rose songs ever or just get rid of your least favorite genre

01:21:05.100 of music completely so like rap disappears forever i would definitely get rid of the worst

01:21:10.000 genre you would get rid of the you don't need to listen to the worst genre yeah but it's terrible

01:21:13.900 for culture there's so many bad genres though that's like just getting rid of one doesn't really

01:21:18.780 yeah like you might get rid of rap and then we just get the you know it's all r&b everywhere

01:21:23.160 or something r&b is actually great i'll take r&b over rap r&b is phenomenal i would take rap

01:21:29.820 any day of the week no way yeah rap well i'm thinking like gangster rap i'm thinking like

01:21:35.560 Thug culture.

01:21:36.200 Drill rap.

01:21:37.100 What if it was only like sub-genre,

01:21:38.600 so you could not get rid of all rap,

01:21:40.060 but maybe only gangster rap or drill rap or something?

01:21:42.320 Oh, we've got one here. 0.84

01:21:43.640 Canadian, MMI2LGBTQIA+, or whatever it is, 0.99

01:21:48.840 daughter or AOC daughter. 0.93

01:21:50.360 That's the same thing.

01:21:51.880 That is the same thing. 0.95

01:21:53.500 AOC daughter.

01:21:58.280 It's not even hard.

01:21:59.180 I mean, she's a congresswoman.

01:22:01.300 She's a congresswoman. 0.98

01:22:03.500 Yeah.

01:22:04.300 So, I mean, it's not like... 0.99

01:22:06.120 Oh, you'd get over it if your Lib daughter became the president? 1.00

01:22:09.140 I mean, that is... 0.91

01:22:10.320 You'd be like, oh, this is so great.

01:22:11.520 I'm so proud of my daughter who joined Congress and ran for president to pursue evil.

01:22:16.520 Dang.

01:22:17.400 Ludicrousness, one.

01:22:18.840 It's a deeper question than you probably intended.

01:22:23.600 Yeah, I don't know. 0.98

01:22:25.120 I'm going to vote against having a Canadian daughter in general. 0.87

01:22:28.240 It would be funny to say, what about, like, what if you switch it up and you say,

01:22:31.700 um okay this doesn't really make sense but like what a conservative child who is not successful

01:22:41.240 but a liberal child who is successful at like liberal politics i'm gonna go conservative child

01:22:47.640 not successful that kind of took me to like i was actually right before you said that i thought you

01:22:53.380 were gonna say this is would you rather have gay child who's conservative or straight child who is

01:23:00.600 like ultra ultra ultra lib how many yeah grandchildren do they give me they both give

01:23:06.140 you the same amount wait you said gay conservative no i was asking how many the gay child who's

01:23:12.800 ultra conservative or a straight child who is ultra lib and they never change but i could get

01:23:19.020 their grandkids i could convince the grandkids they both have grandkids no no i mean i'm saying

01:23:23.580 i could even if you have a lib child you could get the the grandkids if they're married and have
