Summary

On this week's episode of Thick & Thin, we have our first guest on the show, and it's none other than our good friend and former co-host, Alex Blumberg. Alex has been in prison for a long time now, and we wanted to have a chance to hear his side of the story.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Why would you want to interview me? I'm a bad person, I thought, according to your little story.
00:00:07.520 Well, I just tried to report both sides of every story, so...
00:00:12.320 Oh, you do both sides? Is that how you think you were?
00:00:16.520 Well, that includes your side as well.
00:00:18.980 So, you know, it was obviously difficult to interview you while you were in jail.
00:00:25.660 Well, now you're out. You know, we can actually have a chance to hear your side of things.
00:00:32.700 Problem is, Matt, everyone on the planet wants to interview me.
00:00:38.780 So the question is, why would I choose you when I have unlimited offers from people who are far more successful and better than you at the job?
00:00:47.460 Because I'd be doing... And I'm not trying to disrespect you, I'm being honest.
00:00:51.260 I'd be doing you a favor. Like, Matt.
00:00:54.020 We'll take the favor. We'll take it.
00:00:56.740 Do us a favor, pal. Do us a favor, please.
00:01:00.400 Yeah, yeah. I know you probably got better offers, I won't lie to you.
00:01:05.640 I, like, I can't even, like, I can't even, you know...
00:01:08.980 Help a brother out, you know what I'm saying, you know...
00:01:12.820 You know, I'm sorry.
00:01:14.480 From the ends, bro.
00:01:16.160 You know...
00:01:17.020 What's your last name?
00:01:20.520 Shay.
00:01:21.960 That name didn't matter until it was associated to mine.
00:01:24.820 You do an interview with me, you matter for a little bit.
00:01:27.640 But I can do an interview with anyone.
00:01:29.540 So why would I do an interview with you?
00:01:31.180 And this is genuinely a question. It's not an insult.
00:01:33.200 I'm actually asking you why I would choose you when I have unlimited offers on the table.
00:01:40.800 Because we have a history.
00:01:41.800 Sounds like an ex-girlfriend.
00:01:49.940 We had a history.
00:01:51.020 Yeah, I know.
00:01:51.620 That's what I was thinking.
00:01:52.340 Guys.
00:01:55.580 Because we had a history.
00:01:59.920 Okay, I'll tell you.
00:02:01.140 We got the best production on YouTube.
00:02:04.280 We have a history tape.
00:02:05.720 Yeah, we have a history.
00:02:07.880 Yeah, yeah.
00:02:11.140 That one.
00:02:11.720 Yeah, history.
00:02:15.940 We got Clementines here.
00:02:18.420 We'll bring Clementines.
00:02:21.180 You want some right now?
00:02:23.320 Yeah, could you give me one?
00:02:24.720 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:02:24.980 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:02:25.820 Look at this customer.
00:02:27.060 Full you tape.
00:02:27.340 Yeah.
00:02:33.560 We have a history of you doing dishonest journalism on me, so I would choose you.
00:02:36.700 Interesting.
00:02:41.880 Any journalist that you speak to is going to ask you the similar questions to the ones I asked you.
00:02:49.300 I have no problem with your questions.
00:02:52.760 Questions are not a problem.
00:02:54.980 The reason that I want to do an interview with you, and of course you can do an interview with anyone you want.
00:03:00.360 See this?
00:03:02.580 Clementines.
00:03:03.540 This is the customer service you get at Just Furly Things.
00:03:07.820 You can call us big time.
00:03:12.080 Yeah, yeah.
00:03:12.960 That's entirely your choice.
00:03:15.960 I'm just, you know, one of the many people asking you, I guess.
00:03:18.240 But we have a history, and we got cut short last time, and there are still unanswered questions that I want to put to you.
00:03:26.920 I can only tell you why I want to interview you, you know.
00:03:29.800 Ultimately, it is your choice.
00:03:31.040 It is my choice, isn't it?
00:03:33.800 I get to choose which reporter in the world.
00:03:36.500 All these reporters who want to say bad things about me, I get to choose which reporter on the planet gets to become relevant via proxy,
00:03:43.140 because I am the most relevant person, and I get to do the charitable act of allowing somebody to sit next to me and ask me questions.
00:03:49.380 It's kind of interesting.
00:03:51.260 I need to think heavily about it.
00:03:52.820 I can't just give out such a fantastic opportunity to disingenuous nobodies.
00:03:57.620 It's something I need to think about.
00:03:58.980 Do you work for the BBC now, or do you work for yourself?
00:04:02.740 I'm an independent contractor, but it has to be broadcast somewhere, and I think the BBC is where it would go.
00:04:10.060 But one thing I would say, though, is I spoke to the sartorial shooter, and he said that one of the things you might want is the chance to film it and record it yourself.
00:04:24.820 Oh, you mean so you can't edit in stutters like you did with Vice to pretend that I was stuttering when I was answering questions?
00:04:30.200 Is that why?
00:04:32.440 I don't know what you're referring to.
00:04:34.340 Yes, you do, Matt!
00:04:35.880 The algorithm to make you become more famous and more viral.
00:04:38.540 I'm not an expert on algorithms for social media platforms.
00:04:41.820 I do not have most of them installed on my phone.
00:04:44.020 I cannot control what a 15-year-old Singaporean decides to do when he chops me up and calls me names.
00:04:49.740 I can't control that, and I wouldn't try to.
00:04:52.720 When you search for your...
00:04:53.780 And I wouldn't try to.
00:04:55.400 When you search...
00:04:57.320 You did edit in a stutter.
00:05:00.380 What should my...
00:05:01.240 Guys, should I send a message to Tate?
00:05:04.340 Please do.
00:05:05.240 Yeah, yeah, okay.
00:05:05.860 I'll send him a...
00:05:06.540 I'll send him a text.
00:05:08.020 You know...
00:05:10.020 What should it be?
00:05:13.580 What should it...
00:05:14.640 We have a history.
00:05:20.540 Should I...
00:05:21.340 Is that what my opener should be?
00:05:23.420 We have a history.
00:05:24.400 Laughing emoji.
00:05:25.720 No.
00:05:26.400 Did I say...
00:05:27.100 We have a history?
00:05:29.680 We have...
00:05:32.300 Oh, that guy is funny.
00:05:33.840 We have a history.
00:05:34.840 We have a history.
00:05:35.840 You know...
00:05:36.840 We have a history.
00:05:48.840 We have a history.
00:05:49.840 I should just say that.
00:05:50.840 Laughing.
00:05:51.840 Is that what we're going with?
00:05:52.840 Before this deal.
00:05:53.840 Hey, pull up.
00:05:54.840 Tate.
00:05:55.840 Do you want us to pull up?
00:05:56.840 Yeah, you know...
00:05:57.840 Do you want us to pull up?
00:05:58.840 You know what I mean?
00:05:59.840 We can be there.
00:06:00.840 It's your convenience, yeah.
00:06:01.840 Okay, yeah.
00:06:02.840 Let us know, you know.
00:06:03.840 You know.
00:06:04.840 You know.
00:06:05.840 You're small timers here looking for an opportunity.
00:06:08.840 Laughing.
00:06:09.840 Your name in Google, what are the associated terms?
00:06:13.840 Why then have the Romanian police said the investigation is ongoing?
00:06:19.840 I'm not sure where you got that information from.
00:06:21.840 I'm not sure who said it.
00:06:22.840 Is there some kind of procedure that must be completed?
00:06:25.840 I don't know.
00:06:26.840 There has been a lot of bad...
00:06:28.840 That must be completed.
00:06:29.840 I don't know.
00:06:30.840 There has been a lot of bad...
00:06:32.840 The clips channels are evil.
00:06:37.840 Yeah, I've been beefing on Twitter today.
00:06:39.840 What's happening?
00:06:40.840 Yeah, so I've been beefing Destiny.
00:06:42.840 What did he do now?
00:06:43.840 Nah, because he just argues like nothing all the time.
00:06:46.840 And so I'm just tired of these clips channels.
00:06:47.840 They don't believe in anything.
00:06:48.840 They don't stand for anything.
00:06:49.840 No morals.
00:06:50.840 They have no cause.
00:06:51.840 All right.
00:06:52.840 And it would be one thing.
00:06:53.840 I don't know.
00:06:54.840 I don't know.
00:06:55.840 I don't know.
00:06:56.840 I don't know.
00:06:57.840 I don't know.
00:06:58.840 I don't know.
00:06:59.840 I don't know.
00:07:00.840 I don't know.
00:07:01.840 I don't know.
00:07:02.840 I don't know.
00:07:03.840 I don't know.
00:07:04.840 I don't know.
00:07:05.840 I don't know.
00:07:06.840 I don't know.
00:07:07.840 And it would be one thing.
00:07:09.840 You know, there's some people that have channels and they're like impartial observers.
00:07:15.840 Okay.
00:07:16.840 So they just they just say what it is like these are the facts and they don't give their opinion.
00:07:22.840 But the reaction channels they give their opinion.
00:07:25.840 That's just to argue with you.
00:07:27.840 There's no real point.
00:07:28.840 Get divorced over chores.
00:07:30.840 Divorce.
00:07:31.840 Divorce is hard for women because they age.
00:07:35.840 Like these are the these are the arguments.
00:07:37.840 And so this is what what is there.
00:07:40.840 This is the same thing.
00:07:41.840 It's Eclipse channel.
00:07:42.840 The documentary.
00:07:43.840 It's not fair journalism.
00:07:45.840 It's just it's just hippies.
00:07:48.840 It's a hit piece.
00:07:49.840 It's Tate is a bad guy.
00:07:51.840 Now, look, guys, I don't have an extensive history with Taylor.
00:07:54.840 Just call a spade a spade.
00:07:55.840 All right.
00:07:56.840 I met the man once.
00:08:00.840 I see him online, but I'm a bit reluctant to make a full headpiece on someone.
00:08:08.840 You got to you got to have a reason, especially if they were really nice when they came here.
00:08:13.840 Yeah, he was so nice when he came, you know, polite guy.
00:08:18.840 And I'm sure he was polite to the vice reporter.
00:08:20.840 But does he care?
00:08:22.840 No, because they have a narrative they want to spin.
00:08:25.840 And this is what you'll find out.
00:08:27.840 Reaction channels will have a view on you already.
00:08:33.840 They'll already have a view.
00:08:35.840 Now, one certain reaction channel to me even admitted that.
00:08:39.840 Yeah.
00:08:40.840 They said they didn't like me the first message.
00:08:42.840 And that's what this reaction channel did to him.
00:08:44.840 He already didn't like him.
00:08:46.840 So he comes there for in the name of fair journalism.
00:08:49.840 Does he do fair journalism?
00:08:50.840 No, no.
00:08:52.840 I can tell you I've experienced this firsthand where reaction channels paint a narrative.
00:08:59.840 Clip you up.
00:09:00.840 They clip you up and paint a narrative.
00:09:02.840 As many of you know, I was just banned on TikTok and we are demonetized on a daily basis on this platform.
