00:01:05.000If you can get your house solar, that's a big move.
00:01:09.000At a certain point in time, what's the electricity even getting you other than keeping the lights on?
00:01:15.000What I'm scared of is like, All communications are gone.
00:01:19.000Like, how hard would it be to shut down our power grid?
00:01:23.000How hard would it be to blow a few satellites up and no one knows shit?
00:01:28.000Yeah, that's why, like, that Starlink, you know, the satellites thing, I'm thinking about getting that, even though I have great internet, but, you know, just because, oh, what if?
00:02:07.000Did you see that one in Vegas that they captured on camera?
00:02:10.000Like, the dashboard cam of a police car caught this thing streaking through the sky, and then this family said that it landed in their backyard, and that these tall creatures got out of it, and they saw the tall creatures.
00:02:23.000But then when George Knapp was going to interview them, like, I think it was on two separate occasions, they just fucking wouldn't answer the door.
00:03:17.000The only ones that I ever really make me pause are the ones from the military guys.
00:03:22.000And the ones from the military guys, the more I think about it, the more I think that is some absolute top secret shit that the United States government has developed.
00:03:33.000I think they have some super high tech drone technology that...
00:03:38.000Operates on some very sophisticated propulsion system that we're not aware of.
00:04:11.000So that kind of makes sense to me and then the other ones are in the East Coast again in the same kind of airspace where these guys practice all the time and I had this one guy on Ryan Graves and he said that when they upgraded their the equipment on their jets in 2014 I believe that's when they started seeing all these things.
00:04:30.000That's when they're like what the fuck is going on now?
00:04:35.000Like, if they wanted to find out, you know, like whether or not these things were, you could detect them, you know, whether or not we could employ them or deploy them rather without anybody knowing, wouldn't you test them with your own guys?
00:08:21.000But you think about it, if it has three lights under it, and it's flying through the air, and it's that high, all it'd have to do is turn those three lights off.
00:08:30.000And you'd be like, oh my god, it disappeared.
00:09:35.000You know, maybe they had that, but just they didn't have any way to use it, and so they just hold on to it?
00:09:43.000I mean, like, what would you use that for?
00:09:46.000Like if they did have it, here's the thing, if they had something like that, like the Tic Tac, have you seen the Tic Tac one?
00:09:52.000That's the videos that gives, that's the one that's the most legit because it's two separate jets, multiple eyeballs on this thing, video evidence of this thing, radar data.
00:10:04.000This is a Chinese drone, and it says it moves with bursts of compressed air to maneuver.
00:10:13.000This testbed drone can influence its upcoming 6th generation fighter design.
00:10:17.000A new drone features active flow technology, which uses bursts of high pressure air from actuators embedded in the aircraft's body for maneuvering instead of traditional moving control surfaces such as, I don't know how to say that, Ailerons?
00:11:09.000You know, we've talked about this before, but if they made a phone in America and you didn't have to feel terrible about people Working in the cobalt mines to get the cobalt out of the ground.
00:11:20.000And if you didn't have to feel terrible about people working 16 hours a day, sleeping in cots, jumping off the roof, manufacturing it, you'd be happy to pay a little more.
00:11:31.000Okay, unlike traditional AFC, which uses high-pressure air to maneuver an aircraft, plasma AFC works by using a thin membrane in front of a flying wing aircraft, which ionizes air molecules.
00:11:45.000The ionized air molecules generate a plasma shower that accelerates the airflow, which can keep the craft from stalling if it goes down a particular airspeed.
00:11:56.000For example, China's plasma AFC is claimed to prevent stalls even if the aircraft's speed drops to unusually low 108 kilometers per hour.
00:15:14.000Yeah, because you actually told me about it, or you sent me one, and you were like, oh, and that made me buy the Galaxy S21 or whatever it was at the time.
00:16:50.000Jamie really knows how to work a camera.
00:16:52.000You know, like, and a lot of people that are, like, legit photographers, they love that Sony phone because you can, you go into it, it's like a computer.
00:17:00.000There's so many features, so many options.
00:24:01.000There was one where I was watching a guy, it was some other country, they're speaking different languages, climbing up, trying to fix something on a power line, and then he got zapped, and he just fell.
00:24:09.000Just fell backwards like 50 feet, and you're watching him fall.
00:26:23.000I had actually said out loud to my girlfriend months before I met him, I was like, that's one of the top five guys I want to meet in person, just hang with.
00:26:31.000Cut to months later, me and him are at Mitzi's, and we're having a dick-off drawing the best dicks.
00:33:51.000I've heard of churches that are like rock and roll churches.
00:33:55.000There was this gal that I knew that worked for Fear Factor, and she was into this rock and roll church.
00:34:03.000I think at one point in time she was...
00:34:05.000I don't know what, she was of a different religious persuasion and then she got into this like heavy-duty Christian church that was in town where the guy was like a cool guy, young guy.
00:37:13.000We were at Cobb's once and we just like went into this weird like it was like I think Like connected to a strip club or something, but they had this whole section and I think it was me and Ari, I thought you were with me, but we went around this corner and it was like a straight movie theater and people just sitting there,
00:37:30.000Yeah, they had one of those in West Hollywood that was a gay one that was open pretty recently up until like at least like the 2000s because I remember we would always laugh about the titles.
00:40:43.000You should write your own new lyrics to that.
00:40:46.000That's how if Christians really wanted to get somebody, or any religion, they really want to get someone, have some dope artwork attached to your ideology.
00:40:55.000You know, have something that people dig that's attached to it.
00:40:58.000Because if like, if some rock and roll, like if there was a Jimi Hendrix alive today and he was like really into like one certain kind of religion, you know how many people would join that religion?
00:41:59.000I know quite a few of them that are really, and I think it's a compartmentalization thing.
00:42:03.000I think if you can shut off that part of your brain and just give it over to, like, an ideology, it leaves a lot of room for the other stuff.
00:42:13.000Like, how much, like I was telling you the other day, I'm sitting at home, like, wondering about the fate of the world.
00:42:18.000Are we literally going to be in a fucking madman?
00:42:21.000Because you don't think anything's going to go bad until it goes bad.
00:42:24.000You know, you remember the day before 9-11?
00:42:35.000And if anything does happen, like, how, how ready, how much is the world going to change?
00:42:41.000I mean, like, If you think about any sort of horrific natural disaster that has hit humanity since the beginning of time, whether it's super volcanoes or earthquakes or any of these chaotic things, when those things happen,
00:42:57.000when the Mongols roll into your town, when Nazi Germany starts taking over Europe, like, fuck!
00:43:05.000We want to think that that can't happen.
00:43:11.000And when I'm alone at night, and I'm a little high...
00:43:18.000That's the thing that freaks me out the most.
00:43:20.000The things that freaks me out the most is international conflicts between superpowers and how they're willing to kill a certain amount of people, right?
00:43:28.000So what's the number where they won't cross that line?
00:43:31.000Because if you've got groups of people that are willing to shoot missiles into apartment buildings and fly jets down and gun people down, and you've seen all those crazy drones.
00:43:42.000If we're willing to kill a certain amount of people, What's the line where they won't cross?
00:44:52.000It just really puts into perspective that there's some shit going on that you're not thinking about because it's not in your life.
00:45:01.000So if you're a guy like you or I, let's say us, because we're comedians, so we're hanging out at the comedy club, we're doing podcasts, that's our world.
00:45:10.000Our world is fucking around with people.
00:45:44.000We just don't think about that world because we're not in that world.
00:45:47.000But people have been in that world since the beginning of time.
00:45:50.000What they've done with us is they've sheltered us in such a way and then censored all the mainstream media in such a way that they completely control the narrative of how you think about what can and cannot happen in the world and why these things are happening.
00:48:11.000America's nuclear weapons are aging and the Pentagon plans to spend more than $600 billion to keep the potentially world-ending weapons in fighting shape.
00:49:15.000It's like if you're willing to kill Each missile is $40,000 to $50,000, according to a researcher at Israel's Institute for National Security Studies.
00:49:43.000Trump was hilarious doing this conversation about that, where he was telling them, like, why don't we, you know, get the weapons out of there?
00:49:52.000Why don't we fill them up with gas and drive them over to Pakistan?
00:49:55.000And he was like, he said, find a video.
00:50:08.000The Biden administration informed Congress on Monday that it has taken concrete steps to carry out a prisoner exchange with Iran, issuing a waiver that will give Tehran access to $6 billion in Iranian oil revenue that had been blocked by U.S. sanctions, according to a State Department document sent to Congress.
00:56:34.000I was in Greece this summer and when you're walking around those ruins and you see like what it used to be and you go, I wonder if they saw it coming.
00:56:44.000I wonder if they thought this building was going to be here perfect forever.
00:56:47.000They'd be operating their government out of this building.
00:56:49.000You know, it's probably been thousands of years they were running it like that.
00:57:07.000Like, just the amount of things that people have to be upset about and amount of polarizing things, whether it's trans kids or climate change or pro-life or pro-choice or pro-Ukraine or whatever the subject is.
00:57:43.000And I think that has to be social media.
00:57:47.000And some of that has to be engineered.
00:57:50.000We know that there's a ton of trolls out there that aren't really people that are either from another country or maybe from our country that are just literally designed to stir shit up and attack things and go after stuff.
00:58:05.000And then when you find out that our own government was actually censoring social media and contacting Twitter and telling them to delete posts or trying to get them to delete things that...
00:58:15.000They tried to get Facebook to delete this Tucker Carlson thing.
00:58:52.000People in Canada, you have to think about what the fuck they're doing because you think that they think that they're doing it or some people believe they're doing it because of this misinformation that's online.
00:59:02.000Try to get a detailed audit of what is actually misinformation that they call misinformation and what turns out to be actual 100% fact now.
00:59:22.000Because if you think that silencing them and getting people who you know lie to be in charge of what can be said and what not can be said, that's the road to tyranny.
01:00:59.000But it was all because of COVID. COVID gave them this reason to flex their authority in very creepy ways.
01:01:07.000That's what you have to be always be scared of when any kind of disaster happens or a war or something crazy, an attack, because that they always use as an opportunity to get more power that you would never agree to earlier.
01:01:19.000Like no one would have agreed to what's in the Patriot Act.
01:01:58.000What if someone's a corrupt person involved in that administration and that person that you're going to get arrested is actually like a whistleblower for a corporation or something?
01:03:18.000Right now in 2023. There's people running through the woods shooting at people they don't know and killing them.
01:03:23.000And as much as people want to look at it and say, oh, you know, Russia shouldn't have done that, and NATO shouldn't have done this, and as much as you want to say that, what's going on is people who don't know each other are being led by a giant organization,
01:03:41.000and they're going to kill people that they don't know.
01:03:49.000And those people are going to try and come kill you.
01:03:52.000That's the reality of this fucking insanity.
01:03:55.000And that only exists when you have groups of people that are controlling groups of people and then they move them around and then they put bases places and then they attack things and then they fund this and fund that and, you know, and get this guy out of fucking office.
01:04:11.000Get this guy out of power and bring in your own little stooge and then that guy gets killed.
01:04:17.000They're playing this Game of Thrones shit on a global scale.
01:04:22.000And we're just trying to buy a new iPhone.
01:08:37.000Like when Robert Kennedy Jr. was being called an anti-Semite for saying that it seems like COVID-19, like they have viruses that specifically target certain genetics.
01:08:46.000He's just saying that technology is possible, right?
01:08:49.000He's saying that not only is it possible, but the research has been done.
01:09:35.000That's the one thing that really I kind of like Trump for is that he's really opened my eyes to how extreme and gross both sides are, you know?
01:10:20.000If you think, hey, maybe you shouldn't be injecting little kids with hormones and puberty blockers, and what about all the side effects that you guys are conveniently ignoring that are permanent and terrifying and all the different things that it does to their system?
01:10:35.000There's a fucking host of horrific side effects that are connected with those things.
01:10:39.000And then all of a sudden you're transphobe.
01:12:44.000Well, with Gordon, I think he got pissed that people could read his text messages on an iPad.
01:12:53.000You know like like someone could like log into your account on an iPad and read your text messages like that's fucking stupid And so I think that was with him and so he's like fuck Apple like fuck fuck you for doing that But with Brian it's like he's committed to this idea that he's like a rebel He's using this rebel platform so he can't he can't go you know what fuck Android on my phone now You're committed.
01:13:18.000He almost was teetering recently, though.
01:13:22.000But what I'm saying is, if you're a young person, you're even more connected to what you think your identity is.
01:13:28.000And something as simple as, I'm a Mac guy, or I'm a Windows guy.
01:13:34.000Like people get committed to very simple things like I'm all fucking Kansas City Royals till I die.
01:13:42.000They get committed to that and then they use that as part of their identity.
01:13:46.000Well, that's just something silly like a game or a phone or computer platform.
01:13:50.000Now imagine that same tendency that people have to be committed to whatever they've announced and now connected to your ideology or your gender.
01:14:03.000Like, whether it's being a liberal, or I really was born a girl, or I was really born a boy, or should have been a girl, or should have been a boy, or whether it's I'm, you know, whatever the fuck it is.
01:14:14.000When people decide that they're a thing, then they just look for reinforcement of whether that is, and they talk about it all the time, and that's their thing.
01:14:37.000And the more the stakes are at hand, the more people are going to do that, whether it's in support of Palestine or in support of Israel or in support of Ukraine or in support of whatever the fuck it is.
01:14:46.000When the stakes are very high, we're more likely to never look at things objectively.
01:14:53.000More likely to, like, stay in that fucking place where you decide you are.
01:15:52.000Do you think in the future, maybe instead of having a president, we'll have some kind of AI, and it's only...
01:15:57.000It's like every single one of us can add to the AI, like what we feel and what we think and our thoughts, and it will combine using everybody that lives in the U.S. to come up with a final statement, almost like a...
01:16:11.000I was talking to Sam Altman about that.
01:16:19.000That's the only way you would ever get government that is far more intelligent than you and that doesn't have bias and isn't controlled by any group like if you could legitimately give it power and make it sentient but then you would have to You'd have to give in to what it says.
01:16:36.000So what if it said, here's what's important.
01:17:19.000What if some bad actor convinced a few people or a lot of people to give up their voting rights into the AI, and now one person's controlling 25,000 votes at once?
01:17:29.000Yeah, you would have to make sure that can't happen.
01:17:35.000When you give in to this authority, even if it's an electronic authority for the greater good of the world, that's essentially how you get North Korea.
01:17:45.000When Yeonmi Park was on the podcast and she's explaining what they did, what they did was they told all these people, hey, if we just control the land, we'll make sure that everyone has food.
01:17:59.000Now you have three haircuts you can choose from.
01:18:04.000Now if you try to make it across the border, we shoot you.
01:18:08.000You live in an open-air prison controlled by a dictator.
01:18:12.000And then you have prisons inside that open-air prisons that are horrible concentration camps for anybody that violates any of the rules, and generations of people live there.
01:18:22.000Like, your children will be there, your grandchildren will be there, because you've done something that bad that it's like three generations of people will live in prisons because of you.
01:18:33.000You ever see, like, the guys who've escaped from prisons in North Korea describe what it's like in there?
01:19:13.000Maybe half of these bots are controlled by AI and they're just constantly attacking things and constantly like stirring up the pot and getting people angry and excited.
01:19:22.000And then convincing people that ridiculous ideas like open borders or giving $6 billion to Iran or, you know, any of these things, these are good ideas.
01:19:33.000And then in the process of that, just further creating chaos, and then I announce.
01:21:22.000Like, that Pegasus software that we were talking about that was developed by Israel, I mean, that's one of the crazy things that people, like, how did they not know that this was coming?
01:21:43.000Is it just a total failure, or were they so clever, or were they so well-funded that they could pull it off, or, you know, the unthinkable?
01:23:41.000Well, maybe if AI takes over, they could vote that out.
01:23:46.000Imagine if AI just completely stopped North Korea's ability to use any of their weapon systems and then mobilize drones to disarm all the soldiers and said, okay, we're going to set everybody free.
01:25:01.000I remember when Back to the Future 2 was supposed to happen like three years ago, you know, when there was flying cars everywhere and hologram.
01:25:44.000When you hear about the beginning of World War II and you think about the first operations, the first things that happened, you just go, whoa, what must that have been like?
01:25:53.000What must that have been like to see that there's a world war going on?
01:25:58.000And you're just sitting here going, holy shit.
01:31:00.000The precision of the drone technology, the rules of engagement employed by the military, and the level of care taken to minimize civilian harm.
01:31:08.000Also, people will overestimate on purpose the amount of civilians that were killed because it's very bad PR. Someone in the military explained that to me.
01:31:23.000Different organizations and sources may provide varying estimates of collateral damage in drone strikes.
01:31:28.000Some reports suggest that improvements in drone technology and tactics have reduced the number of civilian casualties over time, while others argue that the true extent of civilian harm may be underreported or not fully understood.
01:31:41.000That was my problem I was having while I was trying to find it real quick.
01:31:44.000I've seen different numbers that didn't add up.
01:31:46.000I probably read somebody's random substack.
01:31:51.000That was a great answer, Chad GPT. Yeah, very diplomatic.
01:32:38.000If you don't listen to podcasts, and you don't read, and you're not online, and you're not involved, you probably don't even know that they have access to your shit.
01:34:45.000They used to look cool when they were flying jets.
01:34:48.000Now they're out there with fucking space helmets on.
01:34:50.000Do you know now when they get in certain, like, helicopters and certain fighter jets, their head piece that they put on their helmet is not just a helmet.
01:36:13.000VR headsets have that now, and it's really neat because you can just look at what you want to click, and then you just have your hand and you just click it.
01:40:58.000Like, Twitter, you could have like a million of them.
01:41:00.000Yeah, but dude, whenever I make a post, like almost instantly, it's like, I'm horny looking for a boyfriend.
01:41:07.000Again, most of that is because it's probably not yet, which technically is sort of, but only a few people have it on PC. Once they opened up Instagram to PC users and you can make posts and make comments and all that, you can make computer programs to do all that shit.
01:41:19.000Well, they have threads on browser now.
01:41:23.000I'm just like, yeah, only some people have it.
01:41:25.000Maybe I'm sure you probably do or whatever, but...
01:41:27.000But also, to stop the bots and to stop all the bullshit, you have to do a lot of monitoring.
01:41:36.000So you have to do a lot of moderation.
01:42:08.000Video games the other day on on X and you know like somebody like MK had like I forget something like 32 million views for this one video and it's it's just like they kind of use it like if you're just scrolling and it plays or if it's you know oh right and they count that as a play you know that's silly Right.
01:43:21.000I'm cuddling up with my dog on the couch Watching on the big screen these like professional pool matches and I'm like this is incredible like for I used to have to buy VHS tapes I used to buy them from a company called AccuStats This is the thing about pool.
01:43:37.000When you watch other people play pool, you learn how to play pool.
01:43:45.000The balls scatter and you have nine of them, if you're playing nine ball, and you have to figure out what's the best way to get around and what are the problems.
01:43:55.000And so when you see pros do it, you're like, oh, I never would have thought to shoot it that way.
01:47:13.000You're not the moral compass of the world.
01:47:15.000And if people complain about it, fuck them.
01:47:18.000Don't give in to the mob, because if you do, you become Bud Light.
01:47:22.000Yeah, the name Kill Tony, they told me I can't put it in thumbnails or the titles anymore, so I have to now edit a photo over the word kill.
01:48:56.000And I was telling Tony this last night when we were having dinner together.
01:48:59.000It's like it's the cornerstone of the comedy community for Austin and I think for the whole country because it teaches young comics to just be funny.
01:49:22.000Yeah, and if you eventually develop a following, you develop an act, and in your act you have layers and all kinds of different stories, that's great, too.
01:52:06.000If you have a room where it's fully contained, you don't have to constantly hear the door opening, you don't have constantly people shuffling through, getting to the other room, which is what that room has.
01:52:15.000And then the bathroom is right around the corner, which mixes with the green room area.
01:52:19.000All that chaos, there's too much chaos in that room.
01:52:26.000You had a door when you went into a whole new room, and that whole new room had a small stage, and everybody was packed in tight, and it was magic.
01:53:42.000Especially when you lived in LA, you're so used to these horrible audiences where half of it was managers and Hollywood staff and people in the industry.
01:53:49.000So when you would go there, none of those people ever drove over there.
01:53:52.000So it felt like, oh, this is like I'm on the road.
02:00:57.000It's hard to communicate because it's 2D, you're watching me play on 2D, so it just looks like I'm playing a regular video game in a chat room or something.
02:01:06.000So the idea of that, Lex and Zuck doing it, that kind of shows more like, hey, these people aren't together.
02:01:51.000The thing is, like, where's the battery gonna be?
02:01:53.000How much battery life is it gonna have?
02:01:55.000Well, that's the one thing that Apple, I think, did wrong, is that this first generation of theirs, the battery, you're wearing it on your, like, belt.
02:03:42.000I think just because it's so unique and crazy, and especially the eye thing, I think people are going to be jealous when other people have it.
02:03:49.000Because the first year, supposedly, they're not going to make that many of them to make it even more desirable.
02:03:57.000So what are the features it's going to offer you that's going to make you walk down Congress?
02:04:01.000It's going to be VR and AR, but yeah, things like having stuff pop up, like maps and stuff, like go turn right here, or phone calls, or you'll be able to do FaceTime with people.
02:04:12.000You think people are going to drive with that thing on?
02:04:14.000They originally didn't show anyone outside of their house, though, so...
02:04:45.000It would be cool, though, to have that on while you're driving and kind of like what Tesla has, like the boxes around people, so it's like, watch out to the right.
02:04:53.000Do you remember when people were playing Pokemon Go in their cars?
02:06:15.000I opened it up like a month ago, and there were still people playing around me, where I live in the middle of nowhere, so there's still people probably playing.
02:06:23.000It says there's still about a million people in America playing it.
02:08:51.000Although the 2018 license freeze slowed down the YOY growth rate, the Chinese gaming market was still able to post a modest from $36.5 billion in 2019. A modest increase, I think it was supposed to say there.
02:11:02.000They just reached an agreement and they're gonna not talk about it anymore, I guess.
02:11:06.000So they settled a dispute over cheating claims at Rock Chess.
02:11:09.000U.S. player had filed lawsuit against the former world champion.
02:11:12.000Parties agreed to move forward after a series of allegations.
02:11:15.000I think if you can't prove that he cheated, and it seems like they can't prove, they just suspected that he cheated.
02:11:22.000Hans Niemann, a rising star in the chess world, filed a $100 million lawsuit against Magnus Carlsen.
02:11:27.000The website chess.com and chess streamer Hikaru Nakamura, after allegations that he had cheated, the allegations began after Neiman beat Carlsen, widely considered one of the greatest players in history in a match, how do you say that word?
02:12:21.000Chess.com, which has millions of users around the world, concluded in a 72-page report released last October that Neiman had likely cheated in online matches between July 2015 and August 2020. Neiman denied those allegations.
02:12:36.000The report did not find any evidence that Neiman had cheated in in-person matches.
02:12:41.000So, a U.S. judge dismissed Neiman's suit in June on Monday.
02:12:45.000Chess.com said the parties have agreed to move forward with no further threat of legal action.
02:12:51.000The thing is, it's hard to say because the guy's really good, too.
02:12:55.000It's like he's a really good chess player as well.
02:13:01.000It said, at this time, Hans has been fully reinstated at chess.com, and we look forward to his participation in our events.
02:13:09.000We would also like to reaffirm that we stand by the findings in our October 2022 public report regarding Hans, including that we found no determinative evidence that he has cheated in any in-person games.
02:13:22.000We all love chess and appreciate all of the passionate fans and community members who allow us to do what we do.
02:13:31.000Now people are paying attention to chess.
02:13:33.000That's one good thing about it that people need to recognize.
02:13:36.000Like, that was a lot of publicity for chess.
02:13:38.000It just seems like Idiocracy, you know, the movie Idiocracy, that now, before a chess match, there might be a choice where we have to put up a curtain, have a doctor look at each of the player's assholes before they can play a game of chess.
02:13:52.000Maybe there's a thing you could swallow and it would vibrate inside of you.
02:17:36.000I watched some video of, you know, when they were asking him questions about things, you know, and the video made it look like he had a big hole in his nose.
02:18:23.000It's like, you know, everything was like 20. You know, he'd say something, just something ridiculous where you know it couldn't be possible and you had to laugh.
02:19:59.000The thing about it is, this is what no one wants to admit on either side of that, is that it never stays flat.
02:20:06.000The climate always does this, before we were ever around.
02:20:10.000It gets crazy hot, and then there's an ice age, and then the polar caps melt, and the fucking sea rises, and they find ancient civilizations underwater, because there used to be a town there, and all this pottery's there, because the people got drowned out because the ocean moved.
02:22:01.000So it says, a team of researchers said they have observed a link between autism diagnosis in boys and their mothers drinking at least one diet soda daily or consuming the equivalent amount of the sweetener aspartame during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, according to new study.
02:22:17.000In this study, the researcher at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio asked the parents of 235 children with an autism spectrum disorder and 121 children without autism, who were the study's controls, to complete a retrospective questionnaire about their diet soda and aspartame intake while pregnant or breastfeeding their children.
02:22:38.000Researchers asked biological mothers, while you were pregnant or breastfeeding your child, how often did you drink diet drinks?
02:22:46.000Please count diet sodas first, such as Diet Coke, Diet Dr. Pepper, and Diet Sprite, and then other diet drinks such as Citrus Light, Sugar-Free Kool-Aid, Slim Fast, and other light drinks.
02:22:58.000Note, not all the diet beverages contain aspartame.
02:23:00.000The researchers did not ask women to only think about aspartame containing diet beverages they consume while pregnant or breastfeeding.
02:23:07.000However, all drinks listed in the survey's examples do contain aspartame.
02:23:12.000Team found that boys with autism had more than three times the likelihood of having a mother who drank diet soda daily while pregnant or breastfeeding than boys without autism, per the findings published in the peer-reviewed journal Nutrients.
02:23:45.000But taken in concert with reports from earlier studies of increased prematurity and cardiometabolic health impacts among infants and children exposed daily to diet beverages, holy shit, or aspartame during pregnancy, our findings raise new questions about the potential neurological impacts that need to be addressed.
02:26:26.000One of Hayes' first official acts as FDA chief was to approve the use of aspartame as an artificial sweetener in dry goods on July 18, 1981. In order to accomplish this feat, Hayes had to overlook the The scuttled grand jury testimony of Cyril, I don't know who that is,
02:26:42.000overcome the Bressler Report and ignore the PBOI's recommendations and pretend aspartame did not chronically sicken and kill thousands of lab animals.
02:27:09.000Just because leaving office, just before leaving office in scandal, Hayes approved of the use of aspartame in beverages.
02:27:16.000After Hayes left the FDA under allegations of impropriety, he served briefly as provost at New York Medical College and then took a position as a high-paid senior medical advisor with Bernson Marsteller, the chief public relations firm for both Monsanto and G.D. Searle.
02:27:34.000Since that time, he's never spoken publicly about aspartame.
02:27:37.000FYI, here's Rachel Maddow on Bernson Marsteller.
02:28:56.000Like, it's not a good way to study long-term effects.
02:29:00.000And it's also, like, these are things that are literally bred to take fucking chemicals and have experiments run on them.
02:29:08.000The idea that these are just like normal mammals seems a little far-fetched because you're actually literally breeding them for testing things on them.
02:29:18.000They should just grab them from New York.
02:29:25.000To be an organism that just exists so that you can test potential toxins and poisons on human beings And so your very life only exists to make the intelligent life forms think that they can live longer and better with your medication.
02:29:59.000The monkey one's wild because they're sort of like us.
02:30:02.000They're sort of like they can think and they react and they're grabbing things and you're sitting there with fucking rods in your head and they're alive.
02:30:11.000Monkey one's wild because like it's something like there's like levels of things were allowed to kill like if someone kills a bug no one freaks out like I remember when I lived When I lived in Colorado, I went to this Buddhist ashram that was in my neighborhood Just kind of in the neighborhood seeing what they're doing And they actually had places they would rent out there,
02:31:02.000You just committed mass murder for your convenience.
02:31:05.000Like, if we think that every life form is a life form, if we think that one equals one, you know, like one roach that dies or one mouse that gets run over by a combine in a field where they're trying to cultivate wheat.
02:34:30.000He's the one that has the video about eating the turtle, and he said it was the first time that him and his wife both were like, should we even release this?
02:35:23.000You know there's a thing too about them having armor, so they kind of most of the time are protected, that we kind of realize how vulnerable they are when a person gets them.
02:36:36.000Like, there's animals that we're not...
02:36:38.000No one's allowed to hunt, but they can hunt them.
02:36:40.000And then, like, Bourdain did a show once where he went to this family's house, and they killed a seal, and then they brought it home in the kitchen floor.
02:36:50.000They laid it out and butchered it in the kitchen floor, and they were all just eating raw seal on the kitchen floor.
02:39:35.000That'd be like that scene in The Mist where the guy shoots his whole family and then the military arrives and he realizes he would have been safe.
02:41:38.000Those two movies are probably my two top favorite movies of all time, I think.
02:41:41.000Well, it's such a good superhero movie because it's so comic book-like.
02:41:47.000Okay, Salem's Lot 2023. Warner Brothers has never announced another release date for the film.
02:41:51.000It says, August 24, 2022, Warner Brothers announced that Salem's Lot was losing its April 21, 2023 release date to Evil Dead Rise in a week.
02:42:01.000That will have been exactly one year ago, and yet Warner Brothers has never announced another release date for the film.
02:42:46.000How much money are involved in those fucking movies?
02:42:52.000That's kind of crazy that it's not announced at all.
02:42:54.000Yeah, I forget what it was, but there was a comparison on that, that a bunch of these new horror movies they're making, the budgets aren't super high, because there's not a lot of people that don't have to pay a big cast, so they can make them for a lot less, and they're making fuckloads of money at the theater every weekend.
02:43:07.000You go spend $100 million on a big movie, and no one sees it.
02:43:13.000If you do a movie like a superhero movie, you can kind of have anybody play it.
02:43:17.000As long as you have the real superhero.
02:46:28.000The problem with the one that they had that was on Amazon or whatever it was, was that the dude who played Dr. Manhattan was just a regular dude.
02:48:40.000It was the first time that they had made a pornographic movie and made it like a cinematic movie and tricked people into going and watching this like it's a real movie.
02:49:09.000The film's popularity helped launch a brief period of upper middle class interest in explicit pornography, referred to by Ralph Blumenthal of the New York Times as porno chic.
02:49:21.000Several mainstream celebrities admitted to have seen Deep Throat, including Martin Scorsese, Brian De Palma, Truman Capote, Jack Nicholson, and Johnny Carson, Spiro Agnew, Frank Sinatra, Philip Dresman, and Louis Durfurt.
02:49:39.000Barbara Walters mentions having seen the film in her autobiography, audition, a memoir, and Jimmy McMillan, considered it to be his favorite film.
02:50:12.000In 2006, a censored version of the film was released on DVD for fans of pop culture and those wishing to own a non-X-rated copy of the infamous movie.
02:50:22.000Deep Throat was the first film to be inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame.
02:50:32.000Estimates of the film's total revenues have varied widely.
02:50:36.000Numbers as high as $600 million, equivalent to $4.2 billion today, have been cited, which would make Deep Throat one of the highest grossing films of all time, with an average ticket price of $5, which is $34.98 today.
02:50:50.000Box office takings of $600 million would imply 120 million admissions, an unrealistic figure.
02:50:59.000Although subsequent sales of the films on home video certainly brought additional revenue, the FBI's estimates that the film produced an income of approximately $100 million, which is $700 million today, may be closer to the truth.
02:51:15.000So it's worse case, they were doing research though, right?
02:52:34.000They're in the bed together, but for some reason there's a sheet over them, and they're kissing, and she's wrapping her arms around her, and everything's close up, so you know what's going on, but you don't actually see it happening.
02:52:43.000Whereas we don't do that with violence.
02:52:45.000Like where a guy turns a corner, he points the gun, and you just see the gun go off, and then the guy's dead, and you know he's dead.
02:53:25.000You take these people that are damaged and you...
02:53:27.000You know expose them to the world in this weird vulnerable way and they don't know any better and there's a lot of thoughts about the people have about Pornography in general and people that are not religious.
02:53:37.000So it's not that religion that pornography is not controversial to like a lot of people and It's just a weird thing where films are allowed to show certain things but not actual sex.
02:53:54.000What if you had these people and they wore green suits on and you would never show that.
02:53:59.000Even if you know that that's fake sex, because the actors were not forced to have sex with each other, they faked it and then they used CGI to make it look like it was intercourse and you could see penetration.
02:54:09.000Everybody would be like, what the fuck are you showing me?
02:54:13.000Well, meanwhile, pornography is like this massive part of the internet, like just a giant chunk of all the things that people are—all the internet traffic is pornography.
02:54:23.000Do you remember that movie Brown Bunny?
02:56:12.000And you could pretend to see it in a film, like if she just started going down on him and you saw the back of her head and you just close up on his face, that's happened a million times in movies.
03:03:24.000Don't tell you're half insane A broken needle in your purple vein Why don't you look into Jesus?
03:03:33.000He got the answer Maybe like it was a message to Janis Joplin Totally, that's what it is You say you're gonna be a superstar But you never hung around enough to find out who you really are This song slaps.
03:04:01.000I mean, that's kind of the Janis Joplin story.
