00:02:36.020 based on this obnoxious website they've made aliens oh this is going to be about illegal

00:02:40.600 aliens this is going to be about aliens have been walking among us living in our neighborhoods

00:02:45.720 they've shopped at the same stores in our daily lives i like it attended the same classes

00:02:51.500 and they live seemingly normal human existences with one exception they do not belong here

00:02:58.220 oh that was clever that was clever i like that millions arrived under the cover of darkness

00:03:05.120 and embedded themselves directly into our society.

00:03:08.620 The truth is no longer out there.

00:03:10.380 Countless presidents, congressmen, senior officials

00:03:12.560 knew exactly what was happening.

00:03:14.440 3,129,000 encounters.

00:03:18.300 I want to know how many real aliens

00:03:21.760 are also on government subsidized.

00:03:24.020 Wait, scroll down.

00:03:25.020 There's like a...

00:03:26.500 What is it?

00:03:27.960 Alien arrest map live.

00:03:30.040 Oh, wow.

00:03:30.800 This is actually cool.

00:03:32.140 This is taking way too long to load.

00:03:33.940 I don't have time to read all of this.

00:03:35.320 But speaking of aliens, scroll past the text.

00:03:38.080 There's a live map.

00:03:40.080 So you scroll down and there's a live map of like arrests.

00:03:47.060 Oh, I love this.

00:03:48.300 That have taken place.

00:03:49.520 And you can zoom in anywhere in the country on it.

00:03:51.560 Look at Texas.

00:03:52.500 It's like pure red in Florida.

00:03:55.360 Based.

00:03:57.000 Man, I love this.

00:03:57.680 You know, speaking of aliens, we have to shout out most of Thought Crimes listeners

00:04:02.160 for holding a line and not going to the new Star Wars movie,

00:04:06.780 The Mandalorian and Grogu,

00:04:07.780 which grossed a mere about $100 million in its first weekend,

00:04:12.360 which in modern inflationary times.

00:04:16.040 No, it did the same as Solo.

00:04:18.720 Yeah, but it's been about a decade since Solo.

00:04:20.820 Yeah, but you have to change to inflation.

00:04:22.820 Seven years.

00:04:24.660 Seven years.

00:04:25.760 Well, yeah.

00:04:27.740 Yeah, Solo was 19, I think.

00:04:29.320 So Solo, but it was the first.

00:04:31.560 Solo was 18.

00:04:31.940 first release in seven years first theatrical yeah first theatrical release of anything it

00:04:36.220 barely made a hundred million which is like half globally it's like half the debut of star wars

00:04:41.580 episode three when you adjust for inflation and everything else but even if most of our viewers

00:04:46.880 weren't holding the line it seems like there were a lot of defectors in our own studio hold on hold

00:04:52.520 on let's let's let's let's at least let's at least take a second to say that congratulate

00:04:58.460 and appreciate those who actually went along with the assignment of boycotting this because

00:05:05.600 mark hamill called for donald trump to be killed and of course by extension all conservatives uh

00:05:11.760 this of course led to a you know we saw something happen where a star wars super fan apparently beat

00:05:17.820 to death a uh trump that guy ran a trump house in san diego so i mean this was i did see that

00:05:24.720 I'm gonna I'm gonna play both sides you didn't see that date I know I did see that I did see 0.65

00:05:30.840 that some guy at a chump house and a guy a guy in a literal Star Wars shirt uh brutally like 0.81

00:05:36.640 beat him to death beat him to death on the street like was he like inspired by Mark Hamill I don't 0.99

00:05:41.760 think he was inspired by Mark Hamill but he's probably inspired by being a Star Wars fan he's 0.95

00:05:45.140 probably inspired by I mean it's it's pretty pretty one-to-one like Mark Hamill says go kill

00:05:53.300 trump and he goes and finds like a guy who runs a trump house and beats him to death

00:05:59.000 look i'm gonna play both sides of this debate i did live by the commitment to not go see it

00:06:08.220 and and that was a tough commitment to keep because i am actually i like star wars and i

00:06:14.040 actually think so that jack's totally wrong about star wars in general and he his hatred for star

00:06:20.260 wars is terrible and it's anti-american and so many things but here here's what i will say no i

00:06:26.760 mean i'm just against lgbt agendas and people who want to let him finish i i hey i so i live by it

00:06:32.420 i didn't go see mandalorian and grogu but i'm going to defend andrew because you added me

00:06:40.020 already i'm going to defend andrew for doing this and breaking the creed because uh because there's

00:06:46.620 only so much time you have with your kids and if that's your time that you have was just last week

00:06:51.280 you know i don't think it's up to hollywood or jack basobic to dictate when you can use your

00:06:56.760 free time with your children so that's what we have to announce everyone andrew he saw the

00:07:00.980 mandalorian he didn't just see the mandalorian he he went to like the special sit down like dine-in

00:07:07.380 theater he says he was telling us it might be his favorite movie ever made that is not true

00:07:13.600 Are you sure?

00:07:14.580 I don't know.

00:07:15.340 What did you eat?

00:07:17.560 What did you eat?

00:07:18.620 I ate a burger.

00:07:20.160 Okay.

00:07:20.760 Wait, which dine-in movie theater was it?

00:07:23.000 No free ads.

00:07:23.680 It would just be vague, but it was central Phoenix area.

00:07:29.240 Central Phoenix?

00:07:30.700 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:07:31.040 You went to the bluest part of the state to...

00:07:33.920 I mean, it is what it is.

00:07:35.680 You went to the bluest part of the state to view basically the movie.

00:07:40.100 Given Republicans?

00:07:40.940 how did you feel during the scene where the mandalorian how did you feel about the scene

00:07:45.480 where the mandalorian turns to the camera and he says we need to work together to win back the

00:07:51.620 white house in 2028 this is maga country yeah yeah like the bad guy that i will say this the

00:07:59.180 mandalorian and grogu made a huge mistake and i don't really understand why they made this mistake

00:08:04.260 i don't like the graphic of the title no no in recent in recent years the star wars the only

00:08:12.400 thing that's really been successful in the star wars play has been them reintroducing hayden

00:08:17.040 christensen into the into like different parts of the ip and people love that because he was hated

00:08:22.400 and now he's like loved he was so bad but now he's loved he was the worst actor not like reintroducing

00:08:27.800 Darth Vader and stuff into stuff has been super, super successful. And again, I'm going to use

00:08:35.260 the Spider-Man. When they teased, intentionally made it, tried to make it secret that they were

00:08:40.820 going to do the multiverse thing and all the two previous Spider-Men were going to show up in the

00:08:46.120 movie and then it got leaked and all of that, it hyped up the movie so much that so many,

00:08:51.760 like you had to go see even if you were jack you would have and you were anti that you would have

00:08:57.420 had to go see and be part of that there was no hype for this movie so there was nothing exciting

00:09:02.380 there was no like special let me explain got leaked there was nothing it was just like this

00:09:06.820 is just like an extended episode of the mandalory yeah so let me explain what happened so my and i

00:09:12.640 don't even feel like defending myself that much because i had a great time with my son and it was

00:09:16.900 awesome and so like you know come at me um my son had a birthday he turned six and he got we

00:09:25.220 had a little party for him he got presents some of those presents people got him expecting him

00:09:31.000 to like the mandalorian because that's just what people presumed so he gets a little he gets a

00:09:36.800 little mandalorian figurine that he freaking loves he won't leave this thing alone he takes

00:09:42.440 it all over the house when he's out in the yard he's got it in his hand so he starts like inventing

00:09:47.300 all this stuff about mandalorian he finds out there's a movie coming out and he's like can we

00:09:52.120 go please please please please and so anyways i show him like the trailer and he's freaking out

00:09:57.600 so they beg me all memorial day weekend to take them to the movie i find a little pocket of time

00:10:03.680 and i was like you know what i'm gonna take i'm gonna take my son and my daughter to go see the

00:10:07.480 mandalorian he was sitting it so we the dine-in theaters they have these big seats you can like

00:10:12.800 recline or whatever he's at he's at the front edge of his seat the whole time and he's like he's like

00:10:17.560 swinging his arms like get him get him have it a blast i loved every minute of it with my son

00:10:23.260 and i so it's great i mean that's what i did it was great the children are in charge you know i

00:10:30.540 think uh you asked me if the movie was any good i was like i honestly couldn't tell you if it was

00:10:34.700 that good my son loved it and i had so much fun watching time out let me defend you jack's a 0.79

00:10:39.640 hypocrite and you know why because he totally yeah he totally took his kids to disney to i think it 0.94

00:10:48.320 was disney world oh no see you're no this is fake news and he's totally not for a long time tyler 0.98

00:10:54.820 no that was prior to the disney boycott that was prior to the disney boycott and tanya posted the

00:11:01.940 picture late hey jack you posted the picture late jack after the disney boycott jack began

00:11:09.560 there's only like five there's only like five people in america who lead boycotts and you're

00:11:15.460 one of them so you're saying you you didn't have the gumption to lead the boycott and then took

00:11:21.120 your kids to disney world no this is a pre-boycott i know you took your family to disney world and

00:11:27.680 This is like it was a pre boycott photo.

00:11:31.220 No, this is like insider trading since then and we will not go to Disney.

00:11:34.780 This is basically insider trading.

00:11:36.360 No, the guy who runs boycotts took his family to Disney World and then led the boycott afterwards knowing that he was going to lead the boycott later.

00:11:43.820 And then just to rub it in all our faces and post the picture after.

00:11:48.300 It makes me feel bad.

00:11:49.200 It's like pulling up the ladder on things like boobers.

00:11:53.280 Which is hilarious because this is from like, what, four or five years ago?

00:11:57.280 yeah um where there was this whole media like freak out on me because of this because i was

00:12:04.240 like leading a disney boycott over uh gosh some other stuff what yeah one of like the lgbt they

00:12:12.640 were doing um but it was like the first one and i called for a disney boycott but then tanya of

00:12:18.640 course like not paying attention to what i'm doing on twitter decides to post our disney photos from

00:12:24.880 like a month before like at the same time so they're like what so because at disney well

00:12:34.120 he's like calling for a boycott of disney actually funny enough i can remember insider trading

00:12:38.960 it's i think i remember the actual day we were there because it was like randomly enough it was

00:12:45.100 the day that the ukraine war started um in 2022 so i think i think that's like the very day that

00:12:52.160 we went there it was like that day or the day after was was when we were there and i remember

00:12:56.720 noticing that like everybody's still at disney and like nobody's yeah everybody seems to be 1.00

00:13:00.720 really upset i'm gonna go home and organize a boycott so we're gonna control your woman 0.96

00:13:05.300 so we're so 1.00

00:13:07.240 i'm kidding i'm kidding the woman the woman's children run his house the situation child

00:13:16.100 power i'm sure you had a stern conversation children run his household it's very clear

00:13:19.640 uh listen i had a great time with my son no regrets so by the way my kids my kids know how

00:13:24.980 to make fun of the kids who like star wars like we mock them in our household uh we deride them

00:13:30.360 we talk about how inferior they are we talk about how their parents don't have any discipline

00:13:34.980 because you went to the star wars stuff before the boycott my kids do that with lord of the

00:13:40.240 rain i see i never ascribed to the boycott first of all i don't think i was on that episode of

00:13:44.400 thought crime and i was not i wasn't so i i listen here's the other thing i would say this

00:13:50.460 has been a 10 plus year long john fevro uh directed this and i thought he did a pretty

00:13:56.700 good job on the mandalorian and it's not like wussy stuff he's like a masculine director who

00:14:01.380 actually understands really like can we show the picture of pedro pascal when he was on steven

00:14:05.780 colbert i mean masculine director we should show a picture of john i always want to say it farvo

00:14:09.740 Because it's spelled exactly like swingers, baby. Come on. I don't I've never heard of this movie actually

00:14:18.760 You've never heard of swingers. No what well first you've heard of swingers. Okay. Well, you're mad

00:14:24.400 I haven't heard of this movie that grows

00:14:28.220 1996 a year when I was aware of it, but I wasn't our Rangers. Maybe I saw it but like forever ago

00:14:33.340 anyways

00:14:35.340 Anyway, I actually also saw Star Wars, but not the Mandalorian

00:14:39.380 i saw the return of the jedi at the phoenix symphony orchestra with a with a live symphony

00:14:44.580 which i will say excellent uh i will say i went on friday night this time i'd gone to the prior

00:14:53.600 two original movies on saturday and sunday and you could definitely tell there was a different

00:14:59.760 crowd at the opening performance of this it was a slightly wait what did you see i definitely saw

00:15:05.580 more people in costumes the funniest thing I saw there was a woman Jack wants to know what you're

00:15:10.080 what you're talking about right now oh I saw I saw Return of the Jedi and no you said but you

00:15:14.500 saw other original movies what what what original movies so I know original this so I saw Empire

00:15:18.800 Strikes Back and A New Hope they've done each of the trilogy though is like almost impossible to

00:15:24.880 find the original original oh yeah and that was part of it and the CGI yes this one had that had

00:15:31.380 the terrible pop star that's singing, you know.

00:15:35.680 Yeah, I hate that.

00:15:36.520 Yeah, they kept that.

00:15:37.420 It was unfortunately the full George Lucas-ified version.

00:15:39.880 Well, they had to do that to make money off of them.

00:15:41.760 True story, true story, because...

00:15:43.400 I don't know why they don't fix that, though.

00:15:44.880 Why don't they fix that now?

00:15:46.060 Because...

00:15:46.740 The CGI is so much better now.

00:15:47.640 It's like, why can't they just make that better now?

00:15:50.080 Let's just not.

00:15:50.920 Let's just undo all of this.

00:15:52.140 Undo all of this.

00:15:53.020 But since it was opening night, there were more people in costumes, more people in strange

00:15:57.940 t-shirts more people who are

00:15:59.860 various spherical death star shapes 0.89

00:16:01.940 I saw a mom

00:16:03.840 with her daughter and I'm not making this 1.00

00:16:06.000 up she was basically in black 1.00

00:16:08.000 face because she was dressed 1.00

00:16:09.780 she was cosplaying as an Ewok and so 0.88

00:16:11.960 she had the Ewok hat 0.90

00:16:14.020 which is kind of orange that Wicket

00:16:15.900 is the name of the Ewok character but then

00:16:17.980 she painted her whole face 0.77

00:16:20.040 dark brown and it

00:16:21.940 was basically

00:16:22.520 it was basically black face and

00:16:26.020 I got a big kick out of that I don't think 1.00

00:16:27.680 I apologize, Jack, but

00:16:30.060 worth it.

00:16:32.860 That's how it is.

00:16:33.980 I didn't get him a Bud Light or something.

00:16:36.520 I'm going to

00:16:37.300 say right now, I'm going to go watch the movie

00:16:39.920 with my kids.

00:16:42.180 It's literally the Bud Light of

00:16:43.920 movies.

00:16:46.200 The thing is

00:16:47.800 I've heard it's terrible, actually.

00:16:49.420 It's not bad.

00:16:51.100 Why not go see Michael?

00:16:53.700 Here's the Favreau

00:16:55.560 argument. The kiddie diddler? 0.98

00:16:57.680 I'm just kidding.

00:16:58.580 I saw Michael.

00:16:59.820 I saw Michael.

00:17:00.920 The one who was falsely accused.

00:17:03.460 My take on the Michael.

00:17:05.040 I still don't know what I think about that, but yeah.

00:17:08.500 It's obviously fake.

00:17:10.480 My take on the Michael movie was that it wasn't as good as everyone said it was.

00:17:15.300 I didn't say it.

00:17:16.260 It was well made.

00:17:17.140 It was better.

00:17:18.100 It was well made, but I thought.

00:17:20.460 Anyway, let's go back.

00:17:21.360 I still think with the Favreau thing,

00:17:23.260 excuse me like he was like executive producer i think on like like a ton of marvel like good

00:17:32.640 movies that like every single one of those movies had like a major hook into it that had like like

00:17:40.360 it was just chock full of um what do they call them when it's like a set pieces no like uh

00:17:47.220 just like a special thing that happens in it like that that's unexpected what they call that twist

00:17:52.140 not a twist no a uh a jump scare it had something that they had a bunch of stuff a bunch of things

00:17:59.100 in it and that this movie has none of that yeah it's just very like a lot of action forward yeah

00:18:06.000 a lot of but it's just like an action straightforward there's nothing that's like

00:18:10.000 the star wars cinematic the universe that star wars is in has so many different things in it now

00:18:16.060 that it's actually criminal to me

00:18:18.400 to not have any

00:18:20.200 like secret things that

00:18:22.220 pop up in it that aren't huge.

00:18:25.060 Easter eggs, that's the word.

00:18:26.320 There was like no Easter eggs in this movie.

00:18:28.460 Yeah, well, I would tell you that

00:18:29.840 me and Foz were having this conversation because

00:18:32.240 it's like a lot of people like to 0.96

00:18:34.200 crap on the movie. It's not good or whatever. It's like,

00:18:36.200 well, okay, but imagine

00:18:37.760 kids. It's a movie that

00:18:40.200 kids would really get into and

00:18:42.060 I had so much fun with my kids, so I

00:18:44.000 appreciate it for that i'm not like gonna do the full movie critic thing on it uh i don't you know

00:18:48.860 it's a it's an action film in the star wars universe and test i know how about we do this

00:18:56.220 um is it gonna break even that's a question jack that you might appreciate it probably still was

00:19:01.960 successful so here's a quick clip of matt damon discussing yeah i don't think it is actually how

00:19:07.280 much a movie needs to make

00:19:08.860 clip 13 or

00:19:11.240 clip 3 sorry clip 3

00:19:12.580 oh that's probably 13

00:19:16.720 now let's do clip 3

00:19:18.120 clip 3 clip 3 abort abort

00:19:20.380 you're trying to get everybody

00:19:21.800 spending about what the budget was to make it to advertise

00:19:24.340 50% of the theatrical

00:19:26.600 yeah cause you split it with the movie house

00:19:28.580 right through the exhibitor

00:19:29.360 so a 25 million dollar movie to break even you gotta make 100 million dollars

00:19:31.800 to publicize

00:19:33.420 so that movie

00:19:34.900 that movie mandalorian cost about 180 million dollars so that would mean wait that cost 180

00:19:40.600 million dollars to make that movie but and it's 180 million you have to double that because of um

00:19:46.900 that's why that's why it's four times 360 which means you need to you need to make 360 times two

00:19:54.640 720 million dollars to break even 720 i don't think this thing's gonna make 720 million dollars

00:19:59.880 unless china just goes gaga for baby yoda yeah is it 360 times two or is it to break even or is

00:20:07.480 it we were taking 360 times two because one they split it with the the movie houses so if you bring

00:20:13.500 in 700 and because 180 times two 720 million you you take half of that as profit the movie houses

00:20:21.940 take the other half so if you're going to break even you need that much so i mean and there's no

00:20:26.860 like dvd sales anymore there's no dvd there's no the television rights you could put them on

00:20:31.640 streaming platforms but that's not you could get it off of merch like a lot of mandalorian

00:20:36.480 baby baby but do they do they get new merch out of this really they already had baby yoda

00:20:40.600 came out i'm just like this is what i'm saying the merch already existed for this yeah but it

00:20:45.200 would it would it doesn't have any new merch has to be new sales yeah but think about help

00:20:48.960 new sales think about my son got a action figure for his birthday party because somebody bought it 0.70

00:20:53.900 listen listen i i could see my my my people in in my our area know not to bring that crap into

00:21:01.440 my household i could be better than favreau at this than he is right now like think about if 0.94

00:21:07.060 they would have introduced another another baby yoda or a child by the way did you know grogu is

00:21:15.700 not baby yoda no i know it's not i know but we call him that i really don't care i don't know

00:21:19.960 i just don't care no but but imagine a a sibling to baby yoda like think about think about when

00:21:27.960 uh guardians of the galaxy came out and they cut down uh group and then he turned into baby group

00:21:34.720 baby group yeah remember and it was regular group and there was baby group you're thinking about the

00:21:39.320 merch when you think about the characters in the story how do you run a billion dollar multi-billion

00:21:43.940 dollar franchise and nobody thinks about the merch and like they produced no like your point

00:21:50.640 is a really good point it's like they produce nothing in this movie that could be its own

00:21:54.920 merch when baby yoda was introduced in the mandalorian that produced like the biggest

00:21:59.240 boom in merch the only part that was kind of cool was that uh job of the huts like what i don't know

00:22:04.160 it's like his son yeah uh is in this and he's like he's like a he's like a gladiator no one's 0.99

00:22:11.740 which is stupid which is really stupid yeah but it was like that's not it was kind of stupid let's 0.99

00:22:16.600 take a character who's famously a slug that just sits there and is like lazy and has everyone else 1.00

00:22:21.980 and now we have jacked you know squats 500 yeah no like it'd be like 5 000 but yeah so wait okay

00:22:29.600 jack just so i'm clear um if you just take the nine movies in the series right from the original

00:22:37.320 four then the so four five six one two three and then seven eight nine which is your favorite of

00:22:45.280 that or do you just like you're so boycott that you don't care or i mean i i mean i will send you

00:22:51.600 i will tell you that i just texted you the link to watch all the despecialized uh star wars

00:22:58.080 editions from the originals um so you can you know if you really want to you can watch genuinely the

00:23:05.580 most important thing to me i cannot stand the like boo-boo cgi from like what was it like

00:23:09.780 1998 i think because this is a fan a fan project um and you can find it on archive

00:23:18.480 so what the fans did was they went in and they like upscaled um you know to like i think it's

00:23:25.720 this is 720k or 720p rather um you know to make it look crisp uh you know on a on a modern screen

00:23:33.740 but also preserving the original of the original series which yeah so the like if i were still

00:23:40.720 watching star wars i would watch the original originals i would not be watching which one of

00:23:45.020 those is your favorite i would not be watching the lucas edited editions with like the ewok

00:23:50.180 eyelids or han shooting second okay or any jack you're evading the question here what's your

00:23:55.600 favorite yeah i just said that no no your favorite film not your favorite these these are the ones

00:24:02.700 i'd be watching if i were watching which one of these three which episode oh which one of these

00:24:07.500 three um i don't know uh i never thought of it um i i guess probably jedi i'd have to say jedi

00:24:16.840 that's my favorite return i'm i'm an absolutist the original star wars film is the best one and

00:24:22.320 it's actually i would say a new hope but i'm just i just call it star wars most of the time

00:24:26.200 because i think that's the only one that's actually a transcendently great film i think

00:24:29.780 that is a genuinely great film start to finish every scene is good amazingly edited amazingly

00:24:34.900 scored caboose what's the best standalone i like the uh i just just to to give the answer i like

00:24:40.320 the um on jedi i like the the story of redemption the story of like atonement redemption yeah um

00:24:47.120 you know a lot of a lot of christian themes i'm gonna push back on that i think the story of

00:24:52.700 redemption in star wars is actually kind of bad it's it's bad in the sense it's presented in this

00:24:59.120 bizarre, facile way

00:25:01.540 that almost doesn't make sense. So first of all

00:25:03.540 all we know of Vader is that

00:25:05.540 he goes and he commits genocide and does

00:25:07.320 insanely evil things and chokes people and then you show up

00:25:09.520 in Return of the Jedi and Luke just says

00:25:11.020 I know you're still good, Father. I know there's still good

00:25:13.480 in you. What? Where is

00:25:15.560 there any evidence that there's good in him? There's been none.

00:25:18.120 There's just been no actual

00:25:19.700 external evidence of this. Well there is if you

00:25:21.540 watch the first three. And it presents

00:25:23.360 becoming a

00:25:25.620 good person. He just is watching

00:25:27.680 his son get tortured to death and then he goes like no and then he grabs the emperor and throws

00:25:31.180 him down the elevator shaft spoilers for everyone and then like oh he's now good and he's on the

00:25:35.260 light side again i think a lot of bad art has come out of that like the presentation of good

00:25:42.500 and evil almost like a light switch you're on the light side one moment oh bam you switch to

00:25:46.420 the dark side and then you could switch back again comic books do this well he didn't just

00:25:50.840 bam switch back when no i you're like you're just like leaving out a lot of the plot of the movie

00:25:55.920 What happened? What does Darth Vader do in that movie? That's good. Other than, other than throw the emperor down on the elevator shaft.

00:26:01.180 Very key things. Like he delivers his son to be tortured by the emperor. The emperor starts torturing him. It's through that torture that he starts remembering what his son says. And then he goes and kills the emperor.

00:26:12.080 Okay. So it's like a light switch. He doesn't just automatically switch over. 1.00

00:26:16.500 he's just a good guy again

00:26:17.740 and then we're treated this

00:26:20.500 as his great redemption

00:26:21.460 I don't think I would undo

00:26:22.940 I think if 0.99

00:26:24.080 Hitler had a son 0.98

00:26:27.640 I think if some guy 0.87

00:26:30.200 worked for Hitler and saw Hitler 0.57

00:26:32.360 torturing his son and then suddenly threw Hitler down an elevator shaft 0.89

00:26:34.700 but that guy had otherwise 0.82

00:26:36.120 run Auschwitz I don't think we would say that

00:26:38.100 that undid running Auschwitz

00:26:39.520 I totally disagree you're totally skipping over

00:26:41.740 an empire when

00:26:44.160 the interactions that they had

00:26:46.160 together that led him to the moment of him like recognizing and reconnecting with his son yeah

00:26:53.780 isn't there and identifying i mean the most the most famous line in star wars history is not in

00:26:59.840 a new hope yeah and that's also bad i think that that is everyone remembers that and yet that's

00:27:05.760 also a sign of not just decline in star wars but decline in our pop culture as well which is

00:27:10.340 let's make an out of nowhere plot twist that's kind of irrelevant out of nowhere of course

00:27:16.060 out of nowhere they only made it up for the second movie it wasn't in the first movie george lucas 0.97

00:27:21.400 goes back and says oh i totally had it planned from the beginning george lucas is full of crap

00:27:24.500 george lucas is making that up george lucas is making it up as he goes throughout the entire

00:27:28.840 trilogy yeah i i i totally think that that plot twist and the way that they were able to keep it

00:27:35.860 under wraps for so long what is like one of the greatest parts it's one of the greatest moments

00:27:42.680 in American cinematic history

00:27:45.040 is that they were able to keep

00:27:46.880 that completely secret.

00:27:49.680 And again, you talk about twists.

00:27:51.620 That's like what made Star Wars

00:27:53.380 like a long-lasting franchise.

00:27:55.400 It wasn't A New Hope that was good

00:27:57.500 and that made everyone go bonkers.

00:27:59.380 It was the fact that they followed it up

00:28:00.980 with such a crazy plot twist

00:28:02.820 that it basically forced America

00:28:06.620 to like Star Wars, unlike Jack,

00:28:09.680 like real Americans, like Star Wars.

00:28:11.920 you have to like star wars if you want to actually consider yourself a citizen and it also it took

00:28:16.660 us down the dark path which we remain on today uh you have this giant universe where anything can

00:28:21.640 happen and there's quadrillions of people in infinity planets and actually everything is

00:28:25.760 just the family drama of one group of people that's actually like real life though no it's

00:28:30.100 not in real life not everything is a family drama with one family or at least it wasn't like that

00:28:34.360 there's only so many families that people care about tyler's tyler's dumping on me so i want to

00:28:39.700 dump on him and his like his like weakness um in in not being able to actually like hold on to a

00:28:47.020 boycott because like it's not hard you just don't give money to people you hate who hate you especially 0.62

00:28:51.100 if you already gave money to them right before announcing them hey i showed up today so that

00:28:55.140 you could convince me to not follow the the path of the dark side with andrew and and go watch this

00:29:03.640 movie i i mean it's really not hard to not do anything like in fact you're not watching it

00:29:08.760 right now like you're you're you're actively not watching it there's nothing that's been said so

00:29:13.700 far that actually makes me not want to watch this movie so here's here's um homosexuality

00:29:19.240 it promotes people who hate us all right so subtle hints what's the game still had good in him 0.60

00:29:25.600 in a new hope they show hit that one scene there is a one the human vulnerability where they reveal

00:29:32.480 Vader's scarred face in the

00:29:34.060 meditation chamber.

00:29:35.900 Isn't that in the second movie?

00:29:38.340 No, that's a new hope.

00:29:39.880 They show the helmet coming down.

00:29:41.860 That's definitely the second movie, bro.

00:29:43.640 Definitely the second movie.

00:29:44.280 Okay, this write-up says it's in the first one.

00:29:46.340 Is your write-up generated by a robot

00:29:48.420 on the internet?

00:29:49.720 A Cloud City duel,

00:29:52.100 Vader dominates but doesn't kill Luke.

00:29:54.700 That's also the second movie.

00:29:56.240 I'm saying the first movie.

00:29:58.640 This is why my argument was Empire.

00:30:00.500 The Empire's the best movie.

00:30:01.560 they made this up for the second movie so so that luke you can destroy the emperor this is from

00:30:06.580 empire strikes back you can destroy the emperor he has foreseen this it is your destiny join me

00:30:10.700 and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son yes all right so so protective but hesitant

00:30:15.880 actions he wants luke to turn but stop short of lethal force at key points okay but episode

00:30:21.660 so that so he's he's trying to bring him in okay episode this is weak why ai generated

00:30:29.500 bad arguments. No, no, no, this is all good.

00:30:32.000 And then Luke, this is the stuff you're talking about.

00:30:33.900 Luke says, I can tell there's

00:30:35.820 good in you. Search your feelings, Father.

00:30:37.800 You can do this. I feel the conflicts within you. Let go

00:30:39.860 of your hate. Vader denies it, but

00:30:41.700 hesitation proves Luke right.

00:30:44.120 Yeah, so episode five

00:30:45.880 is the best because

00:30:47.780 again, it solidifies

00:30:50.180 episode four.

00:30:52.040 If there's only two movies that ever

00:30:53.860 get created, it would be four or five.

00:30:56.040 Five was a great

00:30:57.260 follow-up to a great

00:30:59.160 movie which i agree is standalone is the best movies for but it was not we're not talking

00:31:04.320 standalone we're talking about a lot different movies five starts to show the cracks in invaders

00:31:12.860 uh sithness or whatever right and and then six it is just kind of like you expected that to happen

00:31:22.280 i'm even six they're making it up like the whole like leia's luke's totally made up made it up on

00:31:27.880 You know this is like going in to watch

00:31:29.860 six. Again, I'm putting myself in the

00:31:31.880 80s. I'm going in

00:31:33.640 to watch episode six in theaters.

00:31:36.860 Your expectation...

00:31:37.760 It's not called episode six. It's called Return of the Jedi.

00:31:39.900 Yeah, Return of the Jedi in the 80s, right?

00:31:42.980 The third

00:31:43.800 in the trilogy. Third installment.

00:31:46.140 You are expecting that

00:31:47.720 Vader turns in that movie.

00:31:50.440 Yeah. Are you not?

00:31:51.700 I don't know. I didn't know in the 80s.

00:31:53.640 What's the most exciting movie? The most exciting

00:31:55.660 movie is Empire, where it's

00:31:57.620 You were blown away.

00:31:59.140 Your socks were knocked off.

00:32:00.700 You loved one.

00:32:02.220 Two blew your mind with that he's his dad.

00:32:06.340 You're dying to go to the third installment of the trilogy.

00:32:10.880 And the trilogy delivers exactly what you expected it to do.

00:32:14.000 Yeah.

00:32:14.980 I'm going to have to agree with that.

00:32:15.880 And then, by the way, the next most exciting moment in cinematic history

00:32:21.760 in the Star Wars realm was in episode one.

00:32:24.600 and the poor guy that played Jar Jar Binks

00:32:27.460 got hated his

00:32:29.220 entire life for something

00:32:31.220 that he had to do. 0.95

00:32:32.880 Without Jar Jar Binks, you do not have 0.72

00:32:35.440 the positives in that

00:32:37.300 movie. At the time, I remember

00:32:39.260 going into that.

00:32:40.980 You guys are really making a hard sell here.

00:32:43.520 I'm just saying, if there's

00:32:45.580 three movies in a row to

00:32:47.240 I agree, four and five,

00:32:49.340 but four and five are a package duo. You have to

00:32:51.340 like them one and two or two or one.

00:32:52.840 like like that has to be your either the the fifth episode uh empire has to be your number one

00:32:59.640 and and new hope has to be number two or vice versa but my argument would be the next best

00:33:06.340 the next best moment actually comes in episode three not because the movie because the movie

00:33:11.280 sucks except for the end part the last five minutes of that movie like it doesn't leave you

00:33:18.560 you know it's really funny actually um just to talk about like how media is consumed differently

00:33:24.700 today than when we were kids um i i don't think i when i was a kid i'd only ever seen

00:33:31.620 you know um star wars and jedi i never saw empire until i was in like high school really and

00:33:40.740 yeah because i i used to just like not you know rent it or was it because jedi was on tv all the

00:33:48.380 time dude i remember jedi being on tv or something and i would see it and like just the way the way

00:33:55.100 that you would interact with media was so different because like you would turn it on and be like oh

00:33:58.760 yeah i'm gonna watch the star wars for a while and then you'd watch this other one and then for

00:34:03.000 whatever reason i just never watched empire probably until like 98 or so oh you know what

00:34:09.180 it was when they um when they released the the special editions which is right before the prequels

00:34:13.500 came out so i guess it was like the 20 i watched them in the theaters i remember i watched the

00:34:18.620 re-releases in the theaters because they made a big hype about it it like oh lucas re-releases

00:34:24.000 the originals in the theaters with all this new cgi and i thought okay here we go and i don't think

00:34:29.580 at the time i had the lens to see how bad it was but if you watch them back now it's like they're

00:34:33.360 terrible it's awful um what can you imagine only watching star wars but only watching the dialogue

00:34:40.500 jack only what are you talking about that doesn't make any sense that doesn't make any sense a movie

00:34:45.460 is like basically not only star wars but all media like that is an interesting segue then jack

00:34:53.320 because that's our next topic um yes the trend of reading dialogue instead of an entire novel

00:35:01.240 all right yes loves this i i really like it so this this came out in a recent discovery

00:35:07.280 uh this was a tweet i believe uh so throw up number four on screen but this was someone

00:35:13.960 remarking on x the other day finding out someone says can we please normalize achievable reading

00:35:19.320 girls 30 or more books a year is not common and then uh this other person ollie b replied

00:35:24.600 finding out that people on book talk that is tiktok book readers uh they skip everything

00:35:30.120 but dialogue, which makes reading 30 plus a year books make a lot more sense. And let's see,

00:35:37.760 I think they said another thing. And then someone goes, but this is smart. I hate all of the

00:35:41.780 descriptions. Like I can't even envision it. And it is boring. Although when I write, I feel like

00:35:47.740 I need to add stuff like that in to make a good book crying face. And then all of you says that

00:35:53.560 is not reading or writing. The descriptions are the book. And the person replies, I prioritize

00:35:59.220 character development and plot others prioritize prose declaring one real over the other is such

00:36:06.920 a weird form of literary gatekeeping wow literary gatekeeping if you want people to

00:36:14.160 read the whole book and not just this makes so much sense and it's really deeply revealing

00:36:20.460 like you know this explains like dude this explains so much about what i've experienced

00:36:28.840 deal you know doing like this kind of stuff and media commentary whatever on uh on content over

00:36:35.240 the last funny enough uh so today i guess is my twitter anniversary my exiversary i've been on

00:36:42.140 on twitter for 14 years as of today and and uh you know people um who know the backstory know

00:36:50.780 that i originally got on to crap on the hbo's game of thrones from the perspective of a book

00:36:56.460 reader who was very upset about it and uh long story short we're here now and what's what's 0.92

00:37:03.900 hilarious is that i used to encounter people like this all the time who were just filthy casuals

00:37:11.500 who clearly like they would these we used to call them sjw's back in the day but they were like

00:37:17.740 these supporters of the characters like oh i'm a denarius supporter or like oh i could never be

00:37:23.740 friends with the status supporter i'm like what are you talking about like just just watch the

00:37:28.220 show or like read the book like why do you have to like be on a side of a character or something

00:37:34.140 like do you like it or not and i came to find that these people like saw themselves or saw

00:37:42.060 characters as themselves rather than as their own you know a character that was objectively

00:37:48.940 a separate individual and so this makes so much sense to me because we're dealing with people now

00:37:56.620 and book talk is huge by the way it's all over the place you see it you see it everywhere uh

00:38:00.860 when i talked about that that one show uh or that that one book series that got turned into a movie

00:38:05.980 with sydney sweeney about killing your husband called the handmaiden or excuse me the housemaiden

00:38:10.300 you know it uh house housemaid housemaid that uh like it it was a you know really rode the um

00:38:16.380 you know the book talk uh carousel if you will and that's what's going on they're not actually

00:38:22.780 reading these things they're not meant to be fully read it's just like a oh here's what it'd be like 0.88

00:38:28.380 if you killed your husband la la la la and then women go out and like start thinking that way and

00:38:33.820 start like hating i think there's a lot to that like has read more books this is this is so 0.86

00:38:38.300 revealing to me blake blake but you read a lot of history i know and it so it fluctuates a lot

00:38:43.820 certainly in the number i can read so like this year i think i've probably read like 11 or 12

00:38:49.580 books this year but they are pretty hefty i'm getting through uh i'm reading imperial china

00:38:55.260 by F.W. Moat, maybe H.W. Moat.

00:38:57.540 No, but what I'm saying is

00:38:59.160 that is distinct from a fiction.

00:39:02.260 True, true.

00:39:02.820 I fluctuate a lot in how much fiction I read.

00:39:05.660 I've read, because when you're reading it,

00:39:08.060 you kind of go on a streak

00:39:09.400 and read a lot by one author in one series.

00:39:13.280 I haven't read.

00:39:14.420 I read C.S. Lewis.

00:39:16.680 I read C.S. Lewis this year.

00:39:19.560 I read That Hideous Strength and Paralandra,

00:39:21.900 so the later parts of his Space Trilogy.

00:39:23.800 Those are all right.

00:39:25.260 I read, I'm reading a big long novel about ancient Rome, which is like, okay, I'd say.

00:39:30.340 It's the Masters of Rome series.

00:39:32.240 Have you ever heard of that one?

00:39:33.540 Colleen McCullough just wrote, went and wrote 7,000 page long books about ancient Rome.

00:39:38.180 But they're all right.

00:39:38.900 They're all right.

00:39:39.840 Yeah, but could you imagine reading fiction and only reading the dialogue?

00:39:44.820 What would you miss?

00:39:46.380 I feel like you'd miss a lot.

00:39:47.480 Among other things, you probably miss what's actually happening.

00:39:50.120 You'd miss like everything.

00:39:51.000 Sometimes in a book, they'll describe major events in the plot that are not dialogue.

00:39:55.960 I love that the first tweet that you guys sent in the chat about this one was like,

00:40:00.260 what is happening?

00:40:01.540 What, what, what?

00:40:02.640 Yeah.

00:40:02.960 Like, somebody's freaking out, discovering that this is like a trend.

00:40:07.000 And by the way, I feel like this is keeping up with the Joneses energy.

00:40:12.140 Like, they want to be able to say, oh, I read all these books, but you actually didn't read

00:40:15.600 the books.

00:40:15.980 It's like, you didn't actually do a thing, and you want to claim credit for it.

00:40:20.360 And that, to me, is the most offensive part about this.

00:40:22.980 It's, yeah, you're missing the art.

00:40:24.280 You're missing everything.

00:40:25.140 But it's this weird drive to sort of say, like, I read 14 books or something.

00:40:29.140 And that gets into another part.

00:40:30.400 Someone pointed out that in addition to people just skipping large chunks of the book,

00:40:33.900 the way a lot of these books are consumed is they'll just take an audio book of it

00:40:38.340 and they'll run it at one and a half, two times, three times speed

00:40:42.560 as, like, constant background track of their life.

00:40:46.720 And you miss all the joy of a book.

00:40:49.620 like the only reason i like to read is because it's like i put the kids down and i sit there

00:40:55.000 with a book and i i'm fully consumed yeah and i really don't think anything can be read any other

00:41:01.560 way we don't count children's books a book read quickly is kind of a book not read at all if it's

00:41:07.680 of any substance i got to count children's books in my book total in my in my wait andrew's like

00:41:12.960 i'm engrossed in this really big series it's called c spot run this it's amazing yeah just

00:41:18.640 he just this dog just he just if i could if i could count children's books in my book my book

00:41:24.000 total in a year it would literally it would be in the hundreds i mean all right well the funny

00:41:28.440 thing is that so many of these books they're reading even frankly even if they have graphic

00:41:33.200 sex or like whatever stuff a lot of them are still effectively children's books they are written at

00:41:37.280 a child's reading level that's really depressing very depressing that's actually a really good

00:41:41.200 point too because if you i i did read um uh housemaid and then it was very very juvenile

00:41:49.360 writing very amateurish it's it's kind of like i guess this started with um what was that series

00:41:54.840 50 shades of gray where it was like a fan fiction of twilight that later became a uh you know like

00:42:01.560 like book series in its own right and then a movie series in its own right where you just get this

00:42:06.380 like really really just so no but this is a big concern you know like grade school level writing

00:42:14.520 it's a big concern because are we just becoming dumber as a culture and i think like the answer

00:42:18.940 is undoubtedly yes which is troublesome it's problematic i want to we played one of these

00:42:25.560 matt damon clips uh and so i'm gonna play another one because i think it's really telling uh clip

00:42:29.500 seven netflix um you know the standard way to make an action movie that we learned was you know

00:42:36.520 you usually have like three set pieces one in the first act one in the second one in the third and

00:42:40.980 you know you kind of they kind of ramp up and the big one with all the explosions and you spend most

00:42:45.000 of your money on that one in the third act that's your kind of finale um and now they're you know

00:42:49.840 they're like can we get a big one in the first five minutes to get some but you know we want

00:42:54.000 people to stay tuned in

00:42:56.060 and it wouldn't

00:42:58.040 be terrible if you reiterated

00:43:00.300 the plot three or four times in the

00:43:02.000 dialogue because people are on their phones

00:43:04.160 while they're watching, you know what I mean?

00:43:07.860 It's the most depressing thing. It's really bad.

00:43:10.160 This is totally true though. This is how I watch movies

00:43:12.020 though. This is how you do the show.

00:43:15.120 This is the fall

00:43:16.380 of civilization in a nutshell

00:43:18.360 and you see it everywhere and I think

00:43:20.240 we would be... This is how

00:43:21.880 this is how you plan the show for me is you get me drawn in the first part and then i and then i

00:43:26.820 sleep through blake's part in the middle and then i show up at the end oh oh okay that's how it's

00:43:31.240 gonna be well tyler's just throwing out zingers just banger after banger well this is this is

00:43:37.520 the fall this is the fall of civilization though it's as simple as that i totally just i i i totally

00:43:42.400 think that this is fine this is not fine yeah it's fine that we can't follow a plot or a book

00:43:49.040 and people are subliterate.

00:43:50.240 No, it's just life is different.

00:43:51.160 It's not about that.

00:43:51.980 It's about attention spans.

00:43:52.640 Yeah, life is worse.

00:43:53.860 Yeah, life is worse

00:43:54.820 and attention spans worse.

00:43:55.600 Yeah, but it's not going back.

00:43:55.880 And that is the fall of civilization.

00:43:57.260 And it's not going back.

00:43:58.360 It's like, we're not going to get rid of cell phones.

00:44:00.220 We're not going to like...

00:44:00.840 I know.

00:44:01.240 And eventually,

00:44:02.140 civilization will just implode.

00:44:03.560 We're not able to achieve great things anymore.

00:44:05.500 No, I mean, like, it's going to get worse.

00:44:07.720 Yeah.

00:44:08.340 We can achieve great things, though,

00:44:09.680 because the movie Michael is right there

00:44:11.780 for all of us to see,

00:44:12.740 and it's amazing,

00:44:13.580 and everyone should go see it.

00:44:14.380 So what if...

00:44:15.300 Okay, I can understand

00:44:16.220 not thinking michael jackson is guilty yeah you seem really invested are you invested are you

00:44:20.800 financially are you financially tied to the success of michael look at you conspiracy theorists like

00:44:26.360 you're just trying to take away my joy you're just trying to take away my joy of of loving

00:44:31.540 michael jackson no what are your top 30 favorite michael jackson songs no who cares about that

00:44:40.220 30. I don't know about 30.

00:44:41.720 No, I bet you you have a list in your head.

00:44:43.420 I can tell top five.

00:44:45.360 So I could here's here's the thing, though, is my kids will get home

00:44:49.820 and then Jack Jack will be like be like, Daddy, can you put on Thriller?

00:44:53.020 And I'll put on Thriller and he starts like moonwalking throughout the living room

00:44:56.460 or, you know, he'll put on we'll put on beat it.

00:44:58.980 We'll put on bad.

00:44:59.660 We'll put on whatever, you know, and here at Billie Jean, obviously like

00:45:04.420 man in the middle, black and white, black or white.

00:45:07.060 you've already named more michael jackson songs than i could name we'll put on no i mean he's

00:45:13.700 legitimately uh you think i've always been a michael jackson fan you think you think michael

00:45:19.460 was like a 10 out of 10 movie no uh well it's it's it depends on what you're you're you're going

00:45:26.660 for like the experience that we had was 10 out of 10 yes if you want to judge it like mandalorian

00:45:33.380 critic hat on like i don't know if i'd go all that all the way in i just know that like in my

00:45:38.940 family and cernovich was saying the same thing by the way that it's totally infected his household

00:45:43.020 do and so like we're now both living like the michael jackson life we're like it's like the

00:45:48.520 music's on all the time the kids love it we love it you know it's just just a good time yeah no

00:45:53.600 that's cool but see i support that if that's your like can i say your family can i can i say this

00:45:59.340 about the michael movie i thought the michael movie was good i learned a couple of things

00:46:02.260 Like, generally, most Americans know, like, way too much about Michael Jackson than they really do.

00:46:06.980 But you do learn some stuff, I think.

00:46:09.280 But, yeah, I didn't realize how they had, like, I learned about, and by the way, I thought it was really cool how the family came together to really honor Michael to make that movie and do all that.

00:46:19.580 Correct.

00:46:20.460 And I thought that was really tasteful.

00:46:22.220 It's his nephew.

00:46:23.700 Yeah, and it's his nephew.

00:46:25.280 That was really cool.

00:46:26.440 Oh, that plays him?

00:46:27.740 Yeah.

00:46:28.900 Is it?

00:46:29.960 Yeah, so his actual, that's not CGI.

00:46:32.260 that's his actual nephew that i mean yeah i think i'm sure he uses like a little bit of makeup or

00:46:36.420 something whose son is it that's his jermaine that's is it germaine's son uh shoot i think

00:46:43.260 it's germaine's that kind of reminds me of straight out of compton where it was actually

00:46:46.960 ice cube's son who played ice cube yeah that's cool like that was good i think it's cool like

00:46:51.340 it tells a story about a family and there's a lot of heartache that's involved with their family

00:46:55.060 like and that that's cool and like everybody clearly disliked the dad and like they wanted

00:47:01.600 to get that point across and like kind of 1.00

00:47:03.720 sucks if you're a dad but the dad's such a jerk 1.00

00:47:05.900 you know but like don't be a bad dad 1.00

00:47:07.620 like I mean don't be a bad dad is kind of a theme

00:47:09.740 that comes out of that I thought it was really interesting

00:47:11.700 that I didn't realize they had so

00:47:13.700 many exotic animals

00:47:15.560 just running around I didn't know that

00:47:17.480 either yeah it wasn't just the monkey

00:47:18.880 no they had like giraffes and

00:47:21.360 all sorts of stuff like

00:47:22.700 medieval quote that's kind of

00:47:25.080 when we have it on

00:47:27.040 my AJ will be like

00:47:29.620 we'll be like daddy daddy get to the snake part i want to see the snake part well and for me like

00:47:34.820 actually like one of the things i pulled away from it and maybe this is subconsciously for america

00:47:39.060 hopefully was that like how cool is that like one of the themes that was in it too was that a family

00:47:44.420 went from basically nothing you know to like living like quite literally the american dream

00:47:49.780 and nobody nobody's like nobody like like psycho psycho leftist came out of that like you want to

00:47:55.780 like a factory like me boy how dare they have safari safari animals like living on their

00:48:02.340 property and that like but i thought that was pretty cool and i think that's a cliche though

00:48:07.400 that we like teach black people like if you're gonna get the american dream it's gonna be through

00:48:11.100 like you're gonna be a rapper or an nba no but it played it but it played into this whole thing of

00:48:16.240 like clearly michael jackson like in part one of the themes too and that movie was like he never

00:48:21.520 like he never progressed or grew up like he goes kind of trapped he kind of was trapped they show

00:48:27.360 that yeah they totally show that that he was like and i think that actually gave a lot more insight

00:48:32.560 to a lot of the misnomers that people took that kind of claimed that he was like this this terrible

00:48:38.360 person but he was like really like what they were saying is like this kid this guy was a kid

00:48:42.500 since the time because the dad made like kept him in this kid zone that he never got to experience

00:48:48.300 is i don't i'm not saying we're done with this topic but i do think this is a weird intro like

00:48:52.740 we have this other topic talking about millennials and gen z no it's an interesting segue yeah it's

00:48:57.020 a really interesting yeah we got we got to dive into this michael jackson's dad definitely believed

00:49:01.620 in corporal punishment uh well and then and then so andrew you haven't seen the film right no i

00:49:06.580 haven't and they blamed so this is a huge scene in the movie and you know spoiler whatever but

00:49:12.480 there's a huge scene you know pretty early on um where he he you know michael doesn't want to

00:49:19.060 perform properly and this is back when he's like jackson five michael jackson like really young

00:49:24.240 and before they've even taken off and his his dad he like talks back to his dad and he's like

00:49:32.020 you're gonna show me respect and just pulls the belt off and just starts whipping him and they

00:49:36.300 show it on screen and he's like freaking out he's crying and that's that's what tyler's referring

00:49:42.940 to when he says it kind of you know it kind of shows you you know perhaps some of those uh forces

00:49:50.240 and family dynamics that maybe well and i you know made michael kind of like have this like childlike

00:49:56.820 you know personality even as he grew up kind of i think culturally like psychologically frozen

00:50:02.340 there we heard these stories you you know like and then i think as a culture we got away from

00:50:07.820 uh spanking and apparently according to new study uh or new reporting uh i guess gen z is returning

00:50:16.280 to this apparently can we see number nine put it on the screen shocking number of millennial and

00:50:24.360 gen z parents spanked their kids study says necessary to raise a child properly so go around

00:50:31.120 the go around the horn i believe in spanking i don't do it very often but i'm not opposed to

00:50:36.860 doing it uh you believe in i see no reason to oppose it uh tyler no i don't oppose it i think

00:50:45.160 it's i i i think it i think there's like anything limits yeah i don't believe in like just taking 0.50

00:50:52.540 off your belt and whipping the crap out of your kid for like i think there's people that probably

00:50:56.760 take like it's a it it's as close to like getting to child abuse like from a physical standpoint 0.98

00:51:05.260 like you shouldn't you shouldn't well you can't do it in anger so this is this is the thing if

00:51:08.980 you're gonna if you're gonna uh spank your child you need to be controlled you need to have your

00:51:14.100 emotions like in check you can't be going like i'm gonna get like that's you could do some damage 0.95

00:51:19.580 there actually psychologically but if you do it and be like listen i told you i'm gonna like so

00:51:24.020 we do a thing in our house like i'm gonna move your body if you refuse to like come to me when

00:51:27.660 we're asking i'm gonna physically move you you have one more option one more chance and then

00:51:32.400 they either come or they don't and then if it escalates like well listen like you know so we'll

00:51:36.360 do like soap in the mouth we actually do that oh wow okay i never ran into that one they they hate

00:51:41.560 it or put like a little um like a little like tabasco on their tongue they can't stand that

00:51:46.720 it's like i think yeah but but like so there's other ways to do it so we don't really spank

00:51:51.580 that often but we do find ways to just like you know make make it so that they don't want to

00:51:57.540 experience the the accountability jack are you uh pro or against yeah i think i'm more in your

00:52:04.380 like the camp that you're saying there we're like we don't like spank but there are lots of things

00:52:10.980 that we do um in terms of discipline i haven't i haven't ever done the tabasco thing and it's like

00:52:17.020 i almost don't want to say this out loud but i just want to say that we um i remember my parents

00:52:23.020 doing that um because i had a bit of a mouth when i was a kid and still do um and definitely remember

00:52:29.660 the basketball and the tongue and uh uh i will just say i have not encountered a situation that

00:52:36.300 necessitated it yet and you know praise god and and hopefully we won't have to but you know that's

00:52:41.900 that's certainly on the on the list um one thing that we do though is uh you know we definitely do

00:52:47.680 push-ups we definitely you know you do something wrong it's like dropping any 10 and if you're not

00:52:52.720 make them sit and playing for well and it's like and if they don't it's more push-up than plank

00:52:57.080 but it's like if you don't go down far enough then daddy gets out the fist and you have to like go

00:53:01.380 down and you have to get to daddy you like come all the way down you know um we do you know time

00:53:08.040 outs obviously like that's a big one um just a variety of things and and depriving you know kids

00:53:13.500 of things i think i think there's there's a lot you can do uh i'm not sold on this science i mean

00:53:19.480 there's plenty of studies that are you know that show that that spanking is is like like really bad

00:53:25.460 and then you know leads to like michael jackson style issues um well that's what i'm saying you're

00:53:29.920 gonna do it you have to be controlled but i don't think i i and to be fair i think some parents

00:53:34.760 probably can't control themselves and do it in

00:53:36.600 kind of a dispassionate way.

00:53:38.720 And I hate to say it, but I think that's what's going on.

00:53:41.620 So spare the rod, spoil the child.

00:53:43.140 But we're assuming that's a physical

00:53:44.760 rod. It doesn't have to be. It could be

00:53:46.660 Tabasco. It could be soap in the mouth.

00:53:48.440 But the point is, you've got to discipline your kids.

00:53:50.600 The Bible says that God disciplines

00:53:52.740 his children because he loves them.

00:53:54.100 It's going to happen.

00:53:55.980 I think if you're using it right, it doesn't have

00:53:57.960 to be done often, but I think

00:53:59.400 a child

00:54:00.660 benefits from the awareness

00:54:04.160 that their parents are capable of hurting them if they need to yeah i think it's important for kids

00:54:09.360 to have a little bit of fear like i i think i got i think i got belted one time when i was a kid

00:54:15.680 yeah and i don't think my parents i mean my parents were young are old gen xers and so i

00:54:21.440 think gen x is kind of like known as like 45 of gen x admitted to spanking their children

00:54:27.760 how much of millennials uh so it's like the research revealed that when this demographic

00:54:33.280 of parents was asked whether they had ever spanked their child

00:54:35.440 or children with their hand. About 20%

00:54:37.580 said yes. So Millennials is 20.

00:54:40.720 Like, boomers

00:54:41.620 were probably, like, 90%.

00:54:43.940 Yeah, and... Excuse me.

00:54:45.660 Did it have boomers in there? 0.77

00:54:47.140 No, it just had Gen X. I bet boomers, like, 0.50

00:54:49.480 legitimately, it's, like, well over 1.00

00:54:51.520 80% spanked their kids. It's just,

00:54:53.340 I think... So it's gone down, like...

00:54:55.920 Do we think kids are better behaved than they were?

00:54:58.320 No, they're worse. Yeah, they're, like, worse.

00:54:59.860 And also, just, it's...

00:55:01.700 I'll just say it this way. 0.76

00:55:02.800 It's an overly, it's like long housed and overly feminized. 0.94

00:55:06.980 And I think that actually undermines the authority of parents a lot. 0.90

00:55:10.140 Let me say this without exposing my family,

00:55:13.060 but I'm the oldest in my family.

00:55:15.300 And I have four brothers and sisters, three brothers, one sister.

00:55:19.860 And I definitely got belted at least one time, maybe two.

00:55:25.960 But it was memorable enough where I never wanted it to happen again.

00:55:31.700 But the kids in my family definitely didn't get, like, as time went on, my parents got weaker.

00:55:36.680 Yeah, they always get softer.

00:55:37.900 Softer.

00:55:38.520 And they didn't.

00:55:40.700 I also think parents get better.

00:55:42.820 Like, I've become a better parent as my kids have gotten older.

00:55:46.220 And I think, actually, in truth, I've used spanking way, I think, like, my daughter probably was the only one.

00:55:53.280 If I'm actually thinking about it, I think my daughter's the only one I've spanked.

00:55:56.300 I got better at being a parent and using other tools

00:55:59.260 and understanding how to avoid even having to get to that point.

00:56:05.420 So I think there's some of that, too.

00:56:06.900 I think there's an element.

00:56:07.420 It's not that you get softer.

00:56:08.620 You might just get better.

00:56:09.760 I was going to say, this is the point I was going to make,

00:56:11.740 was that if the kids are close enough together

00:56:14.180 and they observe the corporal punishment of an older,

00:56:21.800 then you don't need to.

00:56:22.660 yeah so like i think that i mean i was like for sure like definitely instilled in like my younger

00:56:28.200 son was like you don't want to get spanked so the threat actually became real because like

00:56:32.580 they they knew that i was serious about it because it was like the look they could see in my eyes of

00:56:37.900 like oh yeah you don't want that to happen to you and so you don't have to use it but if you if you

00:56:42.720 don't do it at least once right like there's no threat i think i i think i spanked my son one time

00:56:50.800 strength i think i think my dad maybe did it once or twice and it was that yeah level so

00:56:54.780 you don't like doing it yeah and he had other ways i think here's the one here's the way to

00:56:58.580 put it together um because i'm you know i'm still kind of like you know you look i mean you could

00:57:03.880 see all the studies out there that say that spanking in general like is is not is not good

00:57:08.300 for cognitive development but those are done by libs it's true but what you know at this university

00:57:13.320 of texas um yeah no lives at ut austin okay yeah that the the a lot of it is like lack of creativity

00:57:24.240 but but the problem though though i think though is that people saw that stuff and they thought

00:57:29.060 like oh we have to go full in on like the therapy style like i'm gonna be my kid's best friend and

00:57:34.680 i'm gonna do this and this whole like non-confrontational parenting we're like i want

00:57:39.600 my kid to trust me where i'm one of the i'm one of the buds like i'm a cool parent and you know

00:57:44.860 like i'm gonna give you a sip of beer i'm gonna give you smoke a cigarette or whatever like it's 0.99

00:57:50.040 it's it's really stupid and the and the issue that's now created with the unruly kids is that 0.99

00:57:56.920 it's been too permissive and the kids don't actually have any boundaries when they're in 0.99

00:58:01.180 that situation and so like you do need to you do need to drive back so i think if anything

00:58:06.500 with what they're saying about the shocking rise

00:58:09.540 is that I think that perhaps

00:58:11.140 some millennial and Gen Z parents are like,

00:58:13.480 okay, the whole talk therapy version of parenting 1.00

00:58:17.440 is stupid, so I'm going to move in the opposite direction, 0.99

00:58:20.380 but then they go too far in the opposite direction. 1.00

00:58:22.400 And then you create terrible kids.

00:58:23.960 So yeah, I mean, I agree.

00:58:25.120 I think actually, if you're reading the article-

00:58:27.180 And then your kids actually beat you.

00:58:28.580 Yeah, exactly.

00:58:29.420 Let's take it big enough.

00:58:30.660 But I think the article is saying

00:58:35.540 it's shocking still how many parents do this i i think it's actually like to tyler's point is if

00:58:43.780 there isn't an actual threat of it being real then it it kind of loses its effectiveness like

00:58:49.200 it is like peace through strength parenting but yeah if you enforce authority and you firmly

00:58:55.500 establish that they uh need to answer to you and that you're in charge at a very young age

00:59:00.980 i do think that you can tend to keep those boundaries more established but there are there

00:59:05.500 are going to be times where kids try and like defy the parents you know like and i would say

00:59:10.280 to your point on the oldest like my my daughter was she's great now she's like our easiest kid

00:59:15.740 now but when she was kind of like spreading her wings and trying to establish kind of the boundary

00:59:22.040 lines with us she was the hardest that we've had and so you know there needed to be a little bit

00:59:27.480 of like set the pace here that's in theory like but maybe i just wasn't as good of a parent either

00:59:31.880 because with the other ones i have so many more tools in the toolbox to kind of establish you

00:59:36.580 know order in the house can i can i can i introduce a thought crime here so here's my

00:59:42.760 thought crime on this is um and and it's something that i just don't see addressed in any parenting

00:59:49.400 literature at all is that i think i think that iq plays a role in this i think if you have

00:59:57.360 kids who are or you know people who are lower iq then perhaps you know perhaps this might be more

01:00:04.380 effective and we certainly have talked about that in the legal process and and the judicial process

01:00:09.620 and you know uh the lee kwan yu uh sort of version of uh corporal punishment for adults

01:00:16.940 and i think with kids it's the same way like if you've got if you've got smarter kids if you've

01:00:22.180 kids that are more cognitively aware then the threat works better than the actual thing but if

01:00:29.320 they don't seem to have that you know ability to put that all together then perhaps it is those

01:00:35.340 ones that are lower iq where this is more effective because i like i have people texting

01:00:39.820 me right now who are watching the show saying like oh you know i tried that and it didn't work

01:00:44.920 like my kid just just kept you know was was like outsmarted me or not outsmarted but was smarter

01:00:50.780 than the punishment and was like just kept going so you know you you you've got to find something

01:00:56.180 that meets the kid but that's the thought crime is that you know it's not a one-size-fits-all

01:01:01.180 strategy well i i thought that i experienced that with my daughter i i got i basically became

01:01:05.780 convinced that it was the it was not the most effective uh discipline that we could you know

01:01:11.060 meet out uh so here's this uh ut uh i guess uh ut austin study in the u.s 76 percent of men and

01:01:19.620 65% of women agree that it is sometimes necessary

01:01:23.520 to discipline a child with a good, hard spanking. 0.99

01:01:26.640 70% of mothers of two-year-olds

01:01:28.660 report spanking their children.

01:01:30.120 By the time they reach,

01:01:31.140 which is interesting, by the way,

01:01:32.320 so 70% of moms,

01:01:33.800 but only 65% of women agree

01:01:35.400 that it's sometimes necessary.

01:01:36.800 By the time they reach fifth grade,

01:01:38.260 80% of American children report

01:01:39.640 they have been spanked by their parents.

01:01:41.660 I don't know if I believe that.

01:01:42.620 I think a lot of children are like,

01:01:44.160 yeah, me too.

01:01:45.000 Anyways, but according to UNICEF,

01:01:46.240 60% of children around the world

01:01:47.580 experience physical punishment

01:01:48.980 from their parents uh this study basically i think agrees with you jack that it's

01:01:55.140 probably not the most effective you know it's banking does not make children more compliant

01:02:02.120 and let's remember i just don't buy these things that phrase isn't actually in the bible of spare

01:02:08.940 the rod spoil the child that's not what the bible says no it says he spares the rod hates his child

01:02:14.540 he who loves his son um he who loves his son disciplines carefully yeah yeah so it's it's

01:02:21.320 about it also says don't exasperate your children the bible says do not it didn't say you have to

01:02:26.200 spank them yeah but the bible says do not exasperate your children which is another thing

01:02:30.100 which i like as a parent yes that has come into focus a lot because you can feel when you're

01:02:34.960 if you're trying to like drive home a point you can feel when they've kind of

01:02:38.880 had enough and like sometimes you need to pivot to a softer approach but anyways i just think i

01:02:44.040 I think people who go out and I bet people can generate studies that'll tell you that any form of punishment is actually bad.

01:02:52.420 Because a lot of people, they like the anarchy of there being no authority.

01:02:55.820 And something that's pointed out that I think is useful is any law we have, if we want it to exist, it does ultimately need to be backed up by force.

01:03:03.780 It comes up when the police end up choking or shooting someone.

01:03:09.180 They're trying to enforce the law.

01:03:10.860 The guy decides to resist arrest and they end up shooting the guy.

01:03:13.300 And everyone's just like, why do you get shot over a loose cigarette?

01:03:15.960 Why do you get shot over CarTex?

01:03:18.200 Well, in the end, you have to

01:03:19.920 obey the police. And if you don't

01:03:21.900 obey the police, something bad

01:03:23.920 will happen to you. And I think

01:03:25.880 spanking is the micro version

01:03:27.800 of that for a parent. That a parent

01:03:29.580 ultimately they have to have authority over

01:03:31.880 their child. And their ultimate

01:03:34.000 apex of that is, if you do

01:03:35.820 not listen to what I always say, I will

01:03:37.880 use physical force on you. And I think we have to have

01:03:39.860 it be acceptable for a parent to do that.

01:03:41.320 And I think ideally it's actually quite rare.

01:03:44.020 I think all of us who have said it's okay

01:03:45.820 have said we ourselves experienced it maybe once.

01:03:49.740 And so among other things,

01:03:51.120 I don't imagine any of these studies they're doing

01:03:53.500 are very good at capturing the value

01:03:56.360 that comes from a parent who spanks their child

01:03:58.720 literally once ever while they're growing up.

01:04:01.760 I think that's difficult to capture,

01:04:03.100 but I think the value is real.

01:04:04.120 Did you guys ever experience any physical punishment

01:04:06.600 when you became like teenagers?

01:04:08.560 My dad, the longest thing he would do,

01:04:10.240 and this is going to sound extremely funny today,

01:04:12.620 but I did once possess hair

01:04:14.260 atop my head, and if my dad thought I was

01:04:16.460 giving him lip or being sassy,

01:04:18.740 he would grab me by the back,

01:04:20.480 by the short hairs in the back right here.

01:04:22.620 Which ones you still have, to be clear.

01:04:24.460 Well, I don't really have them there anymore.

01:04:26.420 He couldn't grab them anymore, for sure.

01:04:28.520 They used to be grabbable.

01:04:29.980 My mom used to do that when I was a kid, but not as a kid.

01:04:32.940 One time when I was,

01:04:34.620 I must have been like 14 or 15,

01:04:36.420 and I sort of vaguely remember it.

01:04:38.760 I actually look back

01:04:40.580 just to be in my dad's defense

01:04:42.060 I look back and I'm like

01:04:43.440 totally respect it

01:04:44.840 but I got really mouthy

01:04:47.960 like really mouthy

01:04:49.120 said some like really

01:04:49.940 like nasty things

01:04:51.100 and I think he slapped me

01:04:53.120 you know not very hard

01:04:54.240 but he slapped me

01:04:55.120 and he said you will respect me

01:04:56.640 you will respect me

01:04:58.080 and I like

01:05:00.440 I remember in the moment

01:05:01.440 I was so shocked

01:05:02.340 I can't believe you

01:05:04.080 yeah seriously

01:05:06.240 that was basically

01:05:07.280 the general energy

01:05:08.160 and then it like it like dawned on me when i was like 25 i was like i like had this like

01:05:13.420 grudging respect for my old man i was like yeah he put me in my place like good for him actually

01:05:18.280 because i was i i really deserved it and uh and now as i get older as now as i get older i like

01:05:24.240 i i don't grudgingly respect it i'm like that was that was rad like good for you now i'm just

01:05:28.640 thinking on the other i remember freak outs that they can have from punishments so we reflect on

01:05:33.320 spanking but i wonder if the experts would now say like taking your child's phone away for a

01:05:38.380 prolonged period and i am thinking i'm sorry i'm gonna drag my uh one of my sisters here for a bit

01:05:43.520 i remember one time my parents grounded my sister by taking her phone away for i believe

01:05:48.220 one or two days and i remember her literally screaming you have ruined my life maybe we did

01:05:55.820 i don't know how her life might have gone as a teenager i got my dad to use the f word one time

01:06:01.640 sorry dad i haven't exposed you that was like the only time my dad never cussed my dad's like really

01:06:06.620 slow to anger he's like really chill and he never got gets angry he always you pushed enough buttons

01:06:11.640 i pushed enough buttons where he like dropped a f-bomb on me and i i started laughing because i

01:06:16.700 was like i was like shocked and nervous all at the same time but i was just like like laughing

01:06:22.800 but it left like an impression with me i was like i actually felt bad that i made my dad so mad that

01:06:27.960 it probably similar situation where it's like like i made i felt bad that i made my dad so

01:06:33.560 mad that he did that and i know he was like disappointed in himself afterwards that i like

01:06:38.660 jack anything for you when you got older and got all philly philly the one thing that i just have

01:06:43.380 to reflect on is um this is going back like you know i guess seven seven six or seven years now

01:06:51.880 is that you know just over the six or seven years that i've dealt with andrew colvette i mean i'm

01:06:57.780 right there with his dad i totally get it totally i do that one time when you slapped andrew in the

01:07:03.500 office yeah that was weird jack i i thought we were talking about that on air i turned the other

01:07:08.160 cheek um yeah i mean listen i i maybe i was just a bad teenager i don't know i was actually a pretty

01:07:13.960 good kid in general but i i definitely had that coming like i would i would i went through this

01:07:18.980 phase where i would say like out of line things you know like trying to get a shock out i think

01:07:23.960 out of my parents um anyways faz says when i was five all the kids would talk about spankings and

01:07:29.400 i was curious and the jealous and jealous that i never got spanked since my parents were against

01:07:34.120 it so i kept doing things that were naughty to try and get spanked and then it finally happened

01:07:38.080 and uh i didn't love it never happened again let's see there you go faz a good kid

01:07:43.420 but still a good man so i don't know i'm kind of with you blake my instincts say that this is woke

01:07:48.880 garbage and it's probably okay sometimes you have to do it dispassionately you can't be like doing 0.95

01:07:54.460 it in anger and freaking the kids out you can't be like beaten with a belt for 40 minutes like 0.93

01:07:58.460 you have to have it has to have boundaries and limitations but if you don't have that as an

01:08:02.940 option on the table it's kind of like you know well and there's a lot of other things i was

01:08:09.180 going to bring up that are non-physical but it's the same thing if it's just a threat and you never

01:08:13.620 do it then it then there are no teeth you gotta hold your word you're not your you're not your

01:08:19.360 kids friends you're not friends i mean there's two things you're the authority one thing my dad

01:08:23.080 did i know we gotta go but you can't do that my dad did one thing not to me but to my brother he

01:08:27.540 had his car and he threatened like hey if you do i can't remember what he did something like

01:08:33.680 goofed off or broke curfew or did something he's like i'm gonna take away your car and my my dad

01:08:39.260 did take away my brother's car without him knowing he had an extra key to it and then parked it in

01:08:45.760 a storage locker like it fit perfectly in the storage locker closed the door and gave the

01:08:53.060 storage locker key to my brother but didn't tell him which storage locker is and where it was at

01:08:57.520 right so he had to live with like hey if you lose this now you're responsible for the storage locker

01:09:03.280 key and if you lose the storage locker key right you're never getting your car back because i i'm

01:09:08.220 not going to tell you where it is like it's gone and so you have to be responsible enough to like

01:09:12.400 keep the storage locker key for as long and then when i decide to let it out really funny to put

01:09:17.140 it in like one of the extremely large storage locker complexes we have in phoenix and just say

01:09:22.240 like it's one of them just make them do every lock all right animal farm jack take us home on

01:09:28.500 yeah yeah i do have to report back that i did um finally uh get a chance to sit down and watch the
