Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Obama Staffer Found DEAD On Obama Property, Accident Presumed w-Dave Landau

00:00:00.000 The body of an Obama staffer was found on the Obama's property.

00:00:23.000 This is their chef.

00:00:25.000 It is presumed to be an accident, but this story is big, and of course, the conspiracy theories are already coming out, but, uh, eh, you know, we don't need to entertain the actual conspiracies, but we can talk about them, at the very least, and just generally give you the news on the story, because it actually is really, really big.

00:00:41.000 People are wondering what happened, how it happened, and why his chef was presumably paddleboarding in a pond near his estate.

00:00:48.000 We got other really big news!

00:00:49.000 This one's crazy, uh, Twitter is gone.

00:00:52.000 It is now X. There's still remnants of Twitter, the app is still called Twitter in many places, but on the actual website, on the browser version, the Twitter bird is gone, it's an X now, and they're slowly changing these, uh, the title.

00:01:03.000 Many of the employees are now saying X instead of Twitter.

00:01:06.000 Elon Musk says they're no longer called Tweets, they're called X.

00:01:10.000 Which just doesn't work.

00:01:11.000 You can't speak it.

00:01:12.000 So I don't know what his plan is there.

00:01:13.000 But, uh, exciting stuff nonetheless.

00:01:15.000 He's gonna be transforming Twitter into the Everything app, which has horrifying implications, if you ask me, considering the AI that they're gonna be integrating.

00:01:22.000 I do think there's a lot of good that can come from this.

00:01:24.000 I do generally like what Elon Musk does, but it's gonna get interesting.

00:01:27.000 And then we got a whole bunch more news.

00:01:28.000 New evidence implicating Joe Biden being on phone calls, according to testimony from Devin Archer, with With Hunter and Hunter's Associates, so, okay.

00:01:37.000 And then we've got a story coming out about a man who has, I guess, super COVID.

00:01:40.000 They're calling it MERS. 0.94

00:01:42.000 And some people believe this could be what leads to another lockdown.

00:01:45.000 Who knows?

00:01:45.000 An election is coming up.

00:01:47.000 So we will get into all of that, but my friends, before we do, head over to castbrew.com.

00:03:12.000 Hey, how are you, sir?

00:03:13.000 I'm really great, actually.

00:03:15.000 All patched up.

00:03:15.000 Good!

00:03:16.000 That's what I heard.

00:03:16.000 You went down to Mexico.

00:03:18.000 I went down to Tijuana.

00:03:19.000 And they fixed up your hip?

00:03:20.000 You just took one kidney?

00:03:23.000 Yeah, only one.

00:03:24.000 It's a fair trade.

00:03:24.000 Which is good.

00:03:25.000 I ended up getting spared the surgery.

00:03:27.000 This was fantastic.

00:03:28.000 Shout out to the Cellular Performance Institute.

00:03:30.000 Y'all may have heard of them on Joe Rogan.

00:03:32.000 Eddie Bravo was talking about it.

00:03:34.000 And I went down there because If I did not, I would have only just gotten my MRI a couple days ago.

00:03:40.000 I'd still be waiting for the follow-up consultation.

00:03:43.000 Insane.

00:03:44.000 I go down there on day one, x-rays, blood work, MRI, and the long story short of it is I did not need to get surgery, which is a huge relief.

00:03:52.000 That's awesome.

00:03:53.000 I have a physical in June of 2026, so I'm excited about it.

00:03:57.000 It takes forever.

00:03:57.000 Dude, seriously, they're like four months from now, every time I call, I'm like, why is it?

00:04:01.000 All right, great.

00:04:02.000 I hope this isn't cancer, what I found.

00:04:04.000 I'm in an Uber and the Mexican guy is just like, Americans are always coming down here for medical care. 0.99

00:04:10.000 And I'm like, unsurprising.

00:04:11.000 It's crazy, right? 0.89

00:04:12.000 That's why they tell you that they just behead you at the border.

00:04:15.000 They just try to tell you that.

00:04:16.000 They're like, the second you get here, cartel, you're dead.

00:04:19.000 It's actually the opposite.

00:04:20.000 What I'm told is the cartels protect you.

00:04:22.000 Yeah, rich Americans come to Tijuana.

00:04:22.000 Really?

00:04:24.000 They don't want to lose that money.

00:04:25.000 No!

00:04:26.000 So, there are crazy stories about, like, locals who will rob a tourist, and then the cartels find out who did it, and let's just say it doesn't go well for those people.

00:04:34.000 Oh, that's awesome.

00:04:35.000 They love- look, American tourists need to be safe and feel safe.

00:04:39.000 If word gets out that you're not safe in these cities, they lose all that money.

00:04:42.000 They're not fans of that.

00:04:43.000 So go back to sandals.

00:04:45.000 That's what you're saying.

00:04:46.000 Tijuana was amazing, man.

00:04:47.000 It was really great.

00:04:48.000 I haven't been there in 20 years, honestly, and it was really fun the last time I went.

00:04:51.000 I gotta be honest, some of the best food I've ever tasted in my life.

00:04:54.000 Crazy.

00:04:54.000 Oh, dude.

00:04:55.000 But who are you?

00:04:56.000 What do you do?

00:04:56.000 I think everybody knows you.

00:04:57.000 I'm a comic.

00:04:57.000 I have a new show called Normal World.

00:04:59.000 Ian's been on it.

00:05:01.000 And yeah, check it out.

00:05:02.000 It's on The Blaze, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 10 p.m.

00:05:06.000 Eastern.

00:05:07.000 And yeah, that's about it.

00:05:08.000 And my schedule, DaveLanda.com.

00:05:09.000 Awesome.

00:05:10.000 Well, thanks for hanging out.

00:05:11.000 We've also got Hannah-Claire Brimelow.

00:05:12.000 Hi, I'm still here.

00:05:13.000 I'm Hannah-Claire Brimlaw.

00:05:14.000 I'm a writer for TimCast.com.

00:05:16.000 I'm so happy to be here with all of you, and I'm here with Ian.

00:05:18.000 Thank you, Hannah-Claire.

00:05:19.000 Yes, Dave, you mentioned Normal World.

00:05:21.000 We did the first episode I was on with you guys.

00:05:23.000 Yes.

00:05:24.000 Drugtopia.

00:05:25.000 You starred in Drugtopia, one of the finest shorts ever made.

00:05:27.000 Here's to many more, my friend.

00:05:29.000 That was gorgeous to work on.

00:05:31.000 Dude, you were great in it.

00:05:32.000 Seriously, you were Robert Downey Jr.

00:05:34.000 in that.

00:05:34.000 That's what I'm talking about.

00:05:35.000 This last week I've been on a physical transformation working out.

00:05:39.000 I cut all this weight to do the first scene of this music video we're working on.

00:05:42.000 I've gained like five or six pounds now and it has been emotional.

00:05:46.000 I don't know about you guys if you've ever done workout and like the way that, and I'm already, I think because I'm an actor, or have been, that I'm emotional.

00:05:54.000 I kind of work off how I feel about things, and it's really damaging to my friendships and my relationships if I don't have it under control.

00:06:00.000 So this has been like a new learning experience for me, man.

00:06:03.000 Watch out, I am like a rampaging bull right now.

00:06:05.000 I'm turning into a meathead.

00:06:06.000 I'm gonna get some therapy, and then I think maybe that'll help me balance myself out a little bit and get jacked and healthy.

00:06:12.000 I noticed it right when I got here.

00:06:14.000 Like the first time I saw Ian, I'm like, you can tell that workout and food and everything is... Biceps today, and after the first rep, Of, like, ten, even.

00:06:21.000 I was like, oh, my muscles were, like, tight and large.

00:06:25.000 It was crazy.

00:06:26.000 I've noticed a physical change, but you seem, like, very energetic, happy.

00:06:31.000 It's really interesting.

00:06:32.000 Yeah, it's definitely another kind of energy.

00:06:33.000 You carry yourself differently right now.

00:06:34.000 That's for sure.

00:06:35.000 Ian's testosterone is going to go through the roof, and he's going to get super conservative.

00:06:38.000 Oh, yeah.

00:06:38.000 That's true.

00:06:39.000 I've got to prove it.

00:06:39.000 It does come with it.

00:06:41.000 It does.

00:06:41.000 When you work out, you become right.

00:06:42.000 I want to protect.

00:06:44.000 It's true.

00:06:44.000 I do have that intuition is kicking on in me, this desire to protect.

00:06:48.000 It's really wild.

00:06:49.000 We got Callan.

00:06:50.000 What's up, everybody?

00:06:51.000 Yeah, Ian's, if you walk by him now in the hallways, he just shoulders you real hard, so we are seeing a change.

00:06:57.000 But yeah, I'm Callan.

00:06:57.000 I'm filling in for Serge.

00:06:59.000 Ahoy, Dave.

00:06:59.000 Good to see you again.

00:07:00.000 Ahoy to you, my friend.

00:07:01.000 And I get back from, you know, this week-long retreat, and Seamus is just gone.

00:07:07.000 Interesting.

00:07:08.000 Suspicious, no?

00:07:09.000 And I know that there were spoons.

00:07:11.000 And they're gone too!

00:07:12.000 True story.

00:07:12.000 I went down- There's two guitars missing.

00:07:14.000 Thursday night after- $10,000.

00:07:16.000 All of my potatoes.

00:07:18.000 Where's the cat?

00:07:20.000 Good question.

00:07:21.000 I went down to eat my 600 calories after the show on Tuesday and there were no forks.

00:07:25.000 And then I was like- Seamus walked by.

00:07:27.000 And I was like, oh god.

00:07:30.000 Is he kind of a fork guy though?

00:07:31.000 I don't know.

00:07:32.000 I just don't trust him anymore.

00:07:34.000 I'll just say two very quick things before we jump into the news.

00:07:37.000 We already got a bunch of super chats.

00:07:38.000 One person said, please don't leave again.

00:07:40.000 All Seamus does is talk about the Bible.

00:07:42.000 And then someone else said, Seamus did great.

00:07:45.000 I love that he talked about the Bible.

00:07:47.000 That sums up the week.

00:07:50.000 Look, religion is apparently the spice of life.

00:07:53.000 Occasionally you need to have a good old Catholic host the show. 1.00

00:07:56.000 But a special thank you to Seamus.

00:07:57.000 Seamus Coghlan of Freedom Tunes.

00:07:59.000 He hosted the show for the week while I was at the doctor.

00:08:01.000 I was basically sitting in a recliner with a bunch of tubes and fluids and stuff and vitamin drips and blood work and MRIs.

00:08:08.000 I saw a lot of dolphins.

00:08:09.000 Because the clinic is on the beach in Tijuana and I saw the border too and I actually walked up to the border and I had this like profound moment of realization looking at this massive hole ripped into the the Tijuana border and I'm just like you could just walk right through it no joke and then there's like a border patrol guy on the other side and then I just had this realization about the decline of culture and Everything starts coming together as to why it's all falling apart, and we'll talk about it on the show.

00:08:37.000 Let's jump into the first story in that regard.

00:08:41.000 Here we go!

00:08:41.000 Let's get into the news.

00:08:42.000 We got this from TimCast.com.

00:08:43.000 Human remains of missing paddleboard are found in pond at Obama's Martha's Vineyard Estate.

00:08:49.000 The man has been described as a black 43-year-old, but his identity has not been made public.

00:08:52.000 Now, at the time of this writing, we did not know.

00:08:56.000 Now we know that it was Obama's chef.

00:08:58.000 Obama's chef was, uh, paddleboarding.

00:09:00.000 This is, uh, Dom Lucre says, dead body found at Obama's Martha's Vineyard estate in search for a black 43-year-old male paddleboarder who drowned in the pond attached to the estate.

00:09:09.000 9-1-1 call was made from ex-president's $12 million property night.

00:09:14.000 Last night, sorry.

00:09:15.000 And, uh, shortly before 10 a.m., the body of the missing paddleboarder was recovered from Edgartown Great Pond by Massachusetts State Police divers.

00:09:21.000 MSP underwater recovery unit made the recovery after the victim's body was located.

00:09:25.000 So, OK.

00:09:26.000 It was his chef.

00:09:27.000 OK.

00:09:28.000 What's going on?

00:09:29.000 Well, Michel did say he was like family.

00:09:31.000 It's just too bad he knew too much.

00:09:34.000 So this is the thing, right?

00:09:36.000 What's the most likely scenario, Occam's razor?

00:09:39.000 Obama's chef went for a paddleboard ride. Most likely. Drown. 1.00

00:09:43.000 I mean it's not a Clinton. If it was a Clinton chef, you'd already find the bullet hole. 0.96

00:09:47.000 Did you see that interview?

00:09:49.000 Maybe like drowning.

00:09:51.000 They would say, sorry, they would say, uh, he drowned. They would say he asphyxiated underwater because the water

00:09:56.000 entered the bullet hole in his lungs.

00:09:58.000 If you haven't seen the Patrick Ben David, Anthony Weiner interview, when he talks about the Clinton body count,

00:10:04.000 Anthony Weiner goes off the rails for like 20 minutes.

00:10:06.000 It's hilarious.

00:10:07.000 Oh, Anthony Comey and I did it once and it's like, how many people commit suicide running through the woods yelling help and get shot in the back?

00:10:13.000 It's just a normal thing that happens.

00:10:14.000 I don't know why you would question that.

00:10:16.000 To be fair, you know, so I've gone through the Clinton body count thing, and some of these things are big stretches.

00:10:22.000 Some of them are really weird.

00:10:23.000 Yeah, some of them are a bit exaggerated.

00:10:25.000 I do agree they're exaggerated.

00:10:26.000 There was that journalist in the 90s, I think it was in the 90s, he was like working on the CIA, and then they said he killed himself by shooting himself twice in the head, whatever.

00:10:34.000 And then people will try to explain it away, like, well, sometimes, you know, these horrible things happen, people fail, and they try again, and it's like, okay, sure, whatever.

00:10:42.000 But a lot of them are like, an accountant at an insurance firm that Clinton's once used, and I'm like, oh, come on.

00:10:47.000 Or a plane crash, like, unrelated.

00:10:49.000 Yeah, they do play a lot of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon in order to get there in The Connection.

00:10:54.000 A lot of them are just like, I think they met once at a cocktail party, but then there are some that make no sense at all.

00:11:00.000 For sure.

00:11:01.000 And the question is, is this because the Clintons are doing really evil things?

00:11:05.000 Yes.

00:11:05.000 Or is it?

00:11:06.000 They are.

00:11:06.000 Oh, sorry.

00:11:08.000 But I'm saying in this specific context.

00:11:10.000 Yes.

00:11:11.000 Like in terms of, you know, the Clinton Global Foundation and the donations.

00:11:13.000 But the question is, like, are they just very powerful people who are very well connected with other very, very powerful people in a tight circle?

00:11:22.000 So you hear stories about security, military, prominent intelligence.

00:11:26.000 Those things happen all the time.

00:11:28.000 My point is, is it unique to the Clintons?

00:11:31.000 Or if you actually looked, would you find something similar with the Obamas?

00:11:34.000 probably and that's not to say that the obama's anything wrong with

00:11:38.000 the clinton's harmed anyone i'm saying

00:11:40.000 when you're in these powerful positions of wealth and prestige in international

00:11:44.000 relations i mean come on you know

00:11:46.000 that's not the united states and i a m yeah like that we're not in this like

00:11:49.000 lovable rainbow and and butterfly democracy that we have been living right

00:11:53.000 now uh... power struggles and and

00:11:55.000 people's lives like i don't think like it expectancy is very high in the center of power

00:11:59.000 in my communist dictatorships or anything people often their friends

00:12:03.000 there their co-workers now i am gonna pull up this one you to clip

00:12:07.000 and just say because as a from the ring cam

00:12:11.000 No, it's from... It's not from their kitchen cam?

00:12:13.000 It's from a Marvel movie.

00:12:14.000 Are you sure?

00:12:14.000 Yeah.

00:12:15.000 We should have set ring cam.

00:12:18.000 So when I read this story, this is the first thing I thought of.

00:12:22.000 I immediately was like, what's that movie?

00:12:24.000 Where the guy is like in his house and the cleaning lady leaves and then she comes back in because she forgot something and the guy goes, ah, Winter Soldier.

00:12:32.000 And we have it right here.

00:12:33.000 I'm not going to play the clip.

00:12:34.000 I just want to show you this.

00:12:35.000 This is the scene.

00:12:36.000 So what's his name?

00:12:37.000 Alexander Pierce.

00:12:38.000 He's talking with the Winter Soldier, who's like this former Soviet assassin.

00:12:42.000 Yeah, the other Obama chef.

00:12:44.000 That's right.

00:12:44.000 The cleaning lady leaves.

00:12:46.000 And then she like forgets her phone and she walks back in and then Pierce is sitting there and he goes, Oh, Renata, I wish you would have knocked.

00:12:53.000 And then he just shoots her.

00:12:54.000 Yeah.

00:12:54.000 And so it's like, that's the first thing I thought of.

00:12:56.000 Like, why would the chef be paddle boarding the Obama's house?

00:12:59.000 It's like, I understand you're a chef.

00:13:02.000 But, like, we have people who come and clean the office.

00:13:05.000 They don't hang out in our backyard and go skating.

00:13:08.000 Like, if you found them in our, you know, deer blind or whatever, it'd be weird.

00:13:12.000 It's like a level of comfort you're not expecting.

00:13:14.000 I will say there are some private chefs, especially with these, like, more remote private estates, you know, that'll come spend the week there and they have a place that they stay and maybe he just had, like, the afternoon off.

00:13:22.000 He probably lives there is my guess, yeah.

00:13:24.000 Yeah, but it is weird.

00:13:25.000 But we have seen the rapids of a pond.

00:13:28.000 Yeah, there's another person, allegedly, with him.

00:13:31.000 Is that confirmed or denied?

00:13:32.000 I don't know.

00:13:33.000 Also, were the Obamas there at the time?

00:13:35.000 I don't know.

00:13:35.000 That's kind of what I wanted to know.

00:13:36.000 I wonder how big the pond is.

00:13:38.000 Also, it's hot.

00:13:39.000 There's a heat wave.

00:13:40.000 Could have been drinking.

00:13:41.000 Or, like, if you just fell off and hit your head.

00:13:43.000 That does happen.

00:13:45.000 You know what I mean?

00:13:46.000 Someone called 911, apparently.

00:13:48.000 They called it in, so someone knew he was under the water.

00:13:50.000 Who was it?

00:13:51.000 So is this... I mean, maybe he was drowning and they were like, help, help.

00:13:56.000 That's very possible.

00:13:57.000 I feel like there'd be more we would know.

00:14:01.000 I just hope everyone's okay.

00:14:03.000 Yeah, I hope everyone's okay.

00:14:05.000 It does seem like we're not getting all the details, right?

00:14:09.000 Yeah, it feels like something's being hidden, and I think it's always because it's an ex-president.

00:14:12.000 And I think it's weird that we haven't gotten a, like, because we haven't gotten a, the Obamas were not there at the time, that makes me assume they were on the estate, which, like, might explain why their personal chef was there, but also, I don't know, I just, I feel like there's something off.

00:14:26.000 The Postmillennial has this, they say, in the past, Campbell is his name, Uh, wrote the words still can't swim in a hashtag on Instagram.

00:14:34.000 So then why was he paddle boarding?

00:14:36.000 On eight feet of water?

00:14:37.000 Is that, is that what it was?

00:14:39.000 I mean, ponds are not very big.

00:14:41.000 It's a foot and a half off.

00:14:42.000 What is a pond?

00:14:43.000 They're muddy at the bottom, so if he hit the bottom his feet might have got tangled up.

00:14:46.000 That's true, it's like quicksand in Mario.

00:14:48.000 Or like I'm saying, if he like lost balance and there's one rock there and he hits his head and then it's that he's unconscious and then he drowns.

00:14:54.000 Like that sounds awful, but the reality is occasionally these things happen.

00:14:57.000 No they do.

00:14:58.000 No foul play.

00:15:00.000 So what defines what a pond is?

00:15:02.000 It says, uh, the technical distinction between a pond and a lake has not been universally standardized, blah blah blah.

00:15:08.000 defined pond as a body of water with a surface area of less than 10 acres.

00:15:08.000 Some region of the U.S.

00:15:12.000 You know what?

00:15:13.000 I can just pull up satellite images of Martha's Vineyard.

00:15:16.000 Yeah, that's a good point.

00:15:17.000 Like if I was there with the dude and he fell off his paddleboard, I would immediately go in the water after the guy.

00:15:22.000 Yeah.

00:15:24.000 It means we were both blazingly hammered or something like it.

00:15:27.000 More like you go in and he's still unconscious when you get him out, you still have to call 911.

00:15:31.000 I feel like in my drinking days I would have gone in for sure.

00:15:34.000 Like that wouldn't have prevented it at all.

00:15:36.000 That may not have helped at all.

00:15:37.000 I would have been more heroic.

00:15:38.000 I would have been like, I got this guy, I'm a swimmer.

00:15:40.000 With one arm.

00:15:41.000 Yeah, and then someone would have came in and got us both.

00:15:45.000 So I only have a general idea of where the Obama's house is.

00:15:49.000 It's Martha's Vineyard, but I don't know where.

00:15:50.000 Yeah, but there is an area that's called a pond. 0.98

00:15:53.000 I'm not gonna... I don't want to pull it up because I don't want to... Everybody knows where his house is.

00:15:56.000 You can google it, but I'm just... But there is a pond.

00:15:59.000 It's pretty big.

00:16:00.000 It's pretty big.

00:16:02.000 I don't know how deep it is, but it looks, like, decently large enough to go paddleboard on.

00:16:07.000 And, you know, so, I don't know.

00:16:09.000 I suppose everybody, there's going to be a lot of people who would prefer it to be some kind of deeper conspiracy, but the sad reality is... Probably not.

00:16:16.000 Some dude who couldn't swim probably just fell off his paddleboard.

00:16:18.000 I just probably had a couple.

00:16:19.000 Ah, yeah.

00:16:20.000 You're saying he was found at a depth of 8 feet and about 100 feet from the edge of the shore of the Asian Great Pond.

00:16:20.000 Good point.

00:16:25.000 Yeah, that's not good.

00:16:26.000 So that seems... He probably didn't get out very far and realized the pedal board sucks. 0.98

00:16:31.000 He was like, I'm gonna go back. 0.63

00:16:33.000 Slipped.

00:16:34.000 To Fari Campbell.

00:16:35.000 He was a sous chef at the White House during the Obama administration and stayed on with

00:16:38.000 the family when they moved to a private life.

00:16:40.000 So I guess the question is, did he live with them?

00:16:42.000 Probably if he stayed with them for that long.

00:16:45.000 He's probably lived at the house.

00:16:45.000 Yeah.

00:16:46.000 And I think that's not crazy depending on like how big and how wealthy you are.

00:16:49.000 Like housekeepers sometimes live in like wealthy people's houses. 1.00

00:16:52.000 Yeah, mine does.

00:16:53.000 Eight feet.

00:16:54.000 Oh, yeah.

00:16:55.000 That's crazy.

00:16:55.000 Could you imagine like being... I have one of their bodies.

00:16:58.000 Just two feet of water above you, and you're like, there is air.

00:17:02.000 And you can't get to it?

00:17:03.000 No.

00:17:03.000 Especially like, how tall is this guy, right?

00:17:06.000 Like if he's over six feet, that's just two feet, like... Yeah, for me I'd be like, it's pretty far.

00:17:11.000 But for him, that's a distance.

00:17:13.000 You know what I don't understand?

00:17:14.000 I don't understand not being able to swim.

00:17:18.000 Well... I understand some people can't.

00:17:19.000 I'm just saying... You grew up with a pool.

00:17:22.000 Or access to one.

00:17:23.000 That's how he got his name. Sometimes. I mean you're Tim Pool. That's right. You know how to swim.

00:17:28.000 This guy, he was born swimming. We didn't swim ever. I mean, did you get swimming lessons? What I don't get is how to

00:17:34.000 just go like this though to get up to the surface. Like I feel like dogs do that. You gotta learn to cup your fingers.

00:17:40.000 That's the biggest part. Yeah.

00:17:41.000 You know. So what I was told when I was little, sideways, when I was younger, because I asked like how do people not

00:17:48.000 know how to swim?

00:17:49.000 It's because they panic.

00:17:50.000 And they just start hitting the water instead of actually just aspirating.

00:17:54.000 Well, there was that actress, is it Naya Rivera? 0.90

00:17:57.000 She was in Glee, and she drowned one or two years ago at this point.

00:18:02.000 part of the story was like it's not that drowning's happened so often there but she was getting her son out of the water and they think just in in that circumstance it's not that she couldn't swim but like the panic of trying to get her child out and whatever was happening oh that's right yeah wasn't that in like the ocean or something i think it was california on a lake but i could be slightly wrong i think that's one of the weird things about drowning people feel like Hopefully some part of your brain kicks in and says, get to the surface.

00:18:29.000 But if you're really panicked, you can become kind of irrational.

00:18:32.000 Well, it's not so.

00:18:33.000 So my understanding is I had a friend who drowned recently in a pool, though, and he grew up with a pool.

00:18:37.000 I might have hit his head.

00:18:38.000 It's an involuntary reaction.

00:18:39.000 When you begin drowning, that's what happens is the water goes in your mouth, you try to breathe, and then people's hands go straight out and they just panic.

00:18:47.000 Like not, I shouldn't say panic.

00:18:48.000 That's not what I'm trying to say.

00:18:50.000 It's like an involuntary reaction.

00:18:52.000 And people don't realize they're drowning because they're not freaking out and splashing like crazy.

00:18:55.000 They're just sitting there at the water level.

00:18:57.000 I think what it is is God created a water world and a land world and we're invading it.

00:19:03.000 Yeah, we kept the salt water inside of us.

00:19:04.000 Yeah, like we shouldn't be in there messing around with their habitat.

00:19:08.000 You don't see whales walking around.

00:19:10.000 We take them and bring them here.

00:19:11.000 Could you imagine if like dolphins built land ships and were just like driving around?

00:19:15.000 Yeah, just like looking at us.

00:19:16.000 You're anti-water sports?

00:19:18.000 Watching you throw a hole in the fence.

00:19:20.000 I think about that a lot.

00:19:21.000 We're like amoeba that have created this sealant around our saltwater.

00:19:24.000 We just carry it around with us.

00:19:25.000 It's freaking wild.

00:19:26.000 Yeah, so I think we should just stay out of there.

00:19:26.000 Right, it is.

00:19:29.000 What have we done?

00:19:29.000 It's our fault.

00:19:30.000 Are we amphibious?

00:19:31.000 Yeah, we've brought it upon ourselves.

00:19:34.000 You don't think it's Obama.

00:19:36.000 You think this man who drowned knew too much about the water.

00:19:38.000 He saw something there.

00:19:39.000 They saw him and they were like, what are you doing?

00:19:41.000 people in the pond were like get it get it. They were like, look, we've made it clear.

00:19:45.000 Yeah, you don't know what's living in there. The naga. We don't know what he took from 1.00

00:19:48.000 the White House. Like, you could take one thing and he took like a monster that lives in ponds.

00:19:52.000 Yeah. Let's, let's, let's, let's, uh, let's jump onto the next really-

00:19:57.000 Did I go too far in this man's death? I'm sorry.

00:19:59.000 Let's jump onto the next very big story.

00:20:01.000 We have this from TimCast.com.

00:20:02.000 Twitter rebrands as X. There it is, ladies and gentlemen.

00:20:05.000 Elon Musk says, not sure what subtle clues gave it away, but I like the letter X, and that's the new logo.

00:20:10.000 I really like how he tweeted, hey, we're gonna, you know, choose a logo if someone tweets it or something, but then just put up the logo he already had planned anyway.

00:20:17.000 Love it.

00:20:19.000 Well, you get paid for engagement now, so he needs to keep that coming.

00:20:21.000 This is his plan to make money.

00:20:23.000 He's like, I'm gonna get myself paid.

00:20:24.000 He says, and soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and gradually all the birds.

00:20:28.000 Like this, but X. So, uh, here we go.

00:20:32.000 This has always been the plan.

00:20:34.000 He's been tweeting about this for a long time.

00:20:36.000 I like that.

00:20:36.000 It's official.

00:20:38.000 We've already got, uh... Like a gang sign he's throwing up?

00:20:40.000 Yeah.

00:20:41.000 Twitter X. That might actually be a gang sign, so you should be careful.

00:20:44.000 It's true.

00:20:45.000 No, this one is.

00:20:46.000 This is blood.

00:20:47.000 But you don't really see him anymore because the cartels took over L.A.

00:20:50.000 But what do we call tweeting now?

00:20:52.000 And he said it was called an ex.

00:20:53.000 The more you know.

00:20:54.000 Exing?

00:20:55.000 I feel like this is really- Is it exing?

00:20:57.000 I think it's- is it ex- exeeding?

00:21:00.000 Exeeding?

00:21:01.000 Zeeding?

00:21:01.000 I mean- Zeedy?

00:21:02.000 I like- love big zeedy.

00:21:06.000 I think this is like a Gretchen Wieners moment.

00:21:07.000 We have to be like, stop trying to make exing happen.

00:21:10.000 It's not going to happen, Elon Musk.

00:21:11.000 It's maybe not the only social media site where there's actually a verb for the word when you send a message.

00:21:16.000 I just say, like, I'm sending a message.

00:21:18.000 I posted on Mines.

00:21:19.000 I posted on YouTube.

00:21:20.000 My post went live on Facebook.

00:21:22.000 But on Twitter, my tweet went live.

00:21:24.000 So maybe it's just going to be called posts.

00:21:25.000 You're just posting on Excel.

00:21:26.000 But that makes it less unique.

00:21:27.000 I don't understand how to get rid of that branding.

00:21:29.000 Truth them.

00:21:32.000 No, I don't like Ellen DeGeneres. 1.00

00:21:34.000 That's why it was sad when they didn't go with Trumpet or Trump Trumpet and you'd be like trumpeting something.

00:21:38.000 I thought that was pretty cool.

00:21:40.000 But Chris de Gaulle, the radio host, tweeted out this picture of, I don't know what it's from, but like some guy on a crane in a basket, like taking down the the bird logo off the side of a building, being like, bye bird.

00:21:51.000 That's why he's making fun of it, like with Titter.

00:21:53.000 He took the W off because he doesn't care about the brand.

00:21:57.000 But I want to say this.

00:21:59.000 I fear Elon Musk's Everything app.

00:22:02.000 I fear XAI, his AI program.

00:22:05.000 Linda Iaccarino says the Everything app will be powered by AI, and I feel that this may actually be somewhat apocalyptic.

00:22:13.000 Yes, I agree.

00:22:14.000 And so I was mentioning earlier that I was in Tijuana, went to the border, and it's this big fence.

00:22:20.000 There's Mexican National Guard on one side, and then there's U.S.

00:22:22.000 Border Patrol on the other side, and there's just this huge hole that The average person can easily just walk right through.

00:22:29.000 And the only reason you don't is because there's guards on the other side.

00:22:32.000 But I talked to some guy, you know, he told me this crazy story.

00:22:36.000 Our Uber driver.

00:22:37.000 He was like, I tried to climb the fence to break into America and I fell 40 feet because the car- the human traffickers took the ladder away from me and I'm just like... But I was talking to one- It's a nice conversation before you go under.

00:22:46.000 It was really crazy.

00:22:47.000 I'm like, why is he talking- I was actually leaving.

00:22:50.000 But um...

00:22:51.000 I heard a story from some guy who said, back in the day, a long time ago, there was no border.

00:22:54.000 It was like, if you were a Mexican citizen, you'd just cross and you'd work, and then Americans would cross and they'd work. 0.96

00:22:58.000 Oh yeah, you'd walk back and forth.

00:23:00.000 Yeah, there was nothing there.

00:23:02.000 And now there's this heavy border that's heavily guarded, and I think the issue is, with all of this, and this does relate to the Twitter rebranding as X, the cultural collapse, in its entirety, globally.

00:23:16.000 Everywhere in the world, because of the internet, community is ceasing to exist.

00:23:20.000 We were talking at dinner about how there's no home ec anymore at schools.

00:23:25.000 They used to teach women and, you know, to some degree, I guess men learn this stuff, but mostly women would learn how to cook dinner and prepare the home and iron clothes and help. 0.98

00:23:34.000 That was extremely important in my opinion.

00:23:37.000 Yeah, you had to take it once, at least at our school.

00:23:38.000 Yeah, same.

00:23:39.000 We talked about it last week with Libby Emmons, too, on Tuesday.

00:23:43.000 It was such a staple that this was true at tons of colleges.

00:23:46.000 They had schools of home economics.

00:23:47.000 They would teach things like budgeting.

00:23:49.000 They were teaching how to cost compare.

00:23:51.000 It was so big that we had a federal department of home economics that supported women during war times and seeing how they could support, basically, women helping to sustain the nuclear family. 0.99

00:24:01.000 We don't have that anymore.

00:24:02.000 We have a thousand things for diversity, equity, inclusion, but we don't have things that are specifically targeted to help people help themselves in the context of staying at home.

00:24:10.000 So to wrap it all together, back to the border.

00:24:13.000 The reason I'm freaked out by this is I'm like, we needed this fence because no one cares about their community anymore.

00:24:20.000 Because now, it used to be that someone would say like, hey, you're not part of our community, we're concerned about what you're doing here, and they would not get access to public goods.

00:24:29.000 Also, there was no income tax, so people didn't really care all that much, it just meant you weren't gonna fight for us, you weren't gonna be protected by us.

00:24:36.000 Community starts breaking apart, so we have to build walls.

00:24:39.000 We have to create laws.

00:24:41.000 Why do we need a law that says you can't do a certain thing?

00:24:45.000 You know, example, abortion.

00:24:47.000 Ron Paul says it shouldn't be illegal, it should be unthinkable.

00:24:49.000 How did it become thinkable to the point where we need decree by leadership to tell people what they can or can't do instead of our people of the United States just agreeing like, hey, we shouldn't be doing this thing.

00:24:59.000 It's simple.

00:25:00.000 Culture is fragmenting and breaking down, which brings it all back to Twitter.

00:25:04.000 It used to be that you lived next to your neighbors, you went to church, you talked to your neighbors, you all agreed on things, you learned from each other, and you shared particular views based on where you live.

00:25:13.000 Then the internet came around, big cities started fragmenting, and now there's a dude who lives in New York on top of another dude and they've never even met, even though they've lived literally next to each other for ten years.

00:25:23.000 People don't talk to their neighbors at all anymore.

00:25:26.000 I actually talk to mine and it's nice, but there's someone in my block I haven't talked to because they're just completely antisocial.

00:25:26.000 Exactly.

00:25:32.000 But it's because of the internet.

00:25:34.000 I knew everybody on my block before the internet.

00:25:34.000 Of course it is.

00:25:37.000 Everybody.

00:25:38.000 Now think about this.

00:25:40.000 AOC is not representative of the average Democrat or average American.

00:25:44.000 She is fringe leftist.

00:25:46.000 She's becoming more shill establishment. 1.00

00:25:48.000 She gets elected because she goes online and typically if you were like a fringe leftist weirdo, you'd go outside and wave your weird leftist flag and everyone would be like, shun, shun, and you'd be like, okay, this is not working.

00:25:59.000 Now those people go online, and every person in every different part of the country forms a community of 10,000, and they share resources, and they organize, and they gain power in this way.

00:26:09.000 I mean, same can be said for even this show.

00:26:11.000 We gain power from everyone from all over the world, all over the country, coming together and watching and supporting us.

00:26:16.000 This allows fringe ideas to become prominent.

00:26:19.000 Now think about what it's gonna be like with AI controlling what you see and hear.

00:26:24.000 It's already in that, we're already there.

00:26:26.000 But now it's going to be, no matter what your crackpot insane view is, the AI will pander to you and affirm your fringe belief system.

00:26:36.000 It's also beyond the internet, because that's a really good point.

00:26:39.000 The internet is the beginning of the fracturing of the local community.

00:26:42.000 You've brought this up a few times.

00:26:42.000 It's the cell phone.

00:26:43.000 It really clicked with me a couple weeks ago.

00:26:45.000 This thing used to be that you'd be on the internet when you sat down at your computer.

00:26:49.000 You were there for an hour or whatever.

00:26:50.000 Then you got up and walked away, and you were not online ever for the rest of the day. 0.98

00:26:54.000 Everybody around you is who you are with now these stupid things when some you're trying to talk to someone and they're 1.00

00:26:59.000 on their fucking phone 0.99

00:27:01.000 It's it's the most like disheartening experience if you have a friend and like they're just not available because I 1.00

00:27:06.000 call a dinner with my family Yeah, it's

00:27:10.000 So that's crazy. Well, it is I mean if you ever looked at your phone sometimes and you

00:27:14.000 really you've had a busy day doing stuff that you've had to do

00:27:16.000 And you look and you go nine hours And you just realize that's what you've been doing for more

00:27:22.000 than a workday is staring at a screen It's all I do so what's gonna happen is horrific

00:27:26.000 You're talking about how the AI is going to start moving people.

00:27:29.000 If you have a brain implant or a phone or some sort of sensor in your augmented glasses and someone tells you something and the machine's like, they're lying, they're lying, they're lying.

00:27:38.000 That's the AI making you think something about that person.

00:27:42.000 They're going to have behavioral monitoring devices and stuff that people can tap into.

00:27:46.000 Is this person a psychopath?

00:27:47.000 There'll be a psychopath alert.

00:27:48.000 Behavioral experimentation, right?

00:27:50.000 We see this with the Twitter algorithm.

00:27:52.000 Any of the social media algorithms, you know, you'll get people who say, oh yeah, we changed one small thing and we saw this reaction, so then we changed this way.

00:27:59.000 Like, they are already collecting all data.

00:28:01.000 I can only imagine what AI is going to decide it wants to do.

00:28:04.000 I don't trust AI.

00:28:05.000 I don't like it at all.

00:28:06.000 I recognize that there are some reasons why we're curious about it, but I think ultimately, just like Tim, like, the idea that we'd have this super app, like, name one other place that has that.

00:28:16.000 China? 0.73

00:28:17.000 I mean, that's the idea, right?

00:28:18.000 Is China has the one app that controls everything, that's what everybody sees all day, is the only one thing that monitors everyone.

00:28:24.000 I mean, that's the idea, is the government watches everybody on one specific app.

00:28:28.000 Is that what this is?

00:28:29.000 How could it not be?

00:28:30.000 Just by the fact that it collects all that data.

00:28:32.000 Like, even though we're not giving it to the government necessarily, the fact that everything you're doing could be tracked from one- But they're watching it.

00:28:38.000 Of course!

00:28:39.000 I mean, we've known this since Snowden and we all- Yeah.

00:28:39.000 Exactly!

00:28:42.000 People hated him.

00:28:43.000 Even- Even- It's like, all he did was tell us, like, what we needed to know and it's like- Even if Elon disagrees with it, even if Elon shuts down

00:28:51.000 these backdoor programs, Well it doesn't mean they're not going to look at it.

00:28:53.000 They still can because they control the grid.

00:28:56.000 I don't get it because Elon I think of as like a brilliant genius,

00:28:59.000 like one of the most genius strategists on earth right now.

00:29:02.000 Why he would centralize data? It doesn't make any sense.

00:29:04.000 Like you could decentralize the system, work on a mesh network.

00:29:07.000 Maybe that's your goal overall, but why do you got to centralize everything first?

00:29:11.000 It's such a vulnerability point.

00:29:13.000 I'll tell you what I think.

00:29:15.000 I don't know if this is absolute or true, but it's what's happening.

00:29:18.000 You think about... I think we talked about this on one of the Culture War episodes.

00:29:21.000 You think about single-celled organisms.

00:29:23.000 What are they doing?

00:29:23.000 What do they do?

00:29:24.000 Milling about, eating particles or whatever and molecules and making more of themselves?

00:29:28.000 I haven't the foggiest.

00:29:30.000 Haven't the foggiest.

00:29:31.000 It seems irrelevant to us, but eventually a bunch of these little dudes got together and created this massive network of complicated specialized cells to make us. 0.99

00:29:40.000 Right.

00:29:42.000 In our bodies, when a group of cells goes rogue, what do we call it?

00:29:48.000 Free radicals would be a great band name.

00:29:48.000 Cancer?

00:29:51.000 Yes. Because it's deviating from what we want. These free radicals, I love how they're called

00:29:55.000 free radicals that can like result in cancer because I'm like that sounds like the free

00:29:58.000 radicals we have in society that are running around doing crazy. Well the fine young radicals

00:30:02.000 are banned. Yeah well see there you go. So here's what I think is happening. Not a good ban. Why

00:30:05.000 would Elon want this? Everybody you will live in you'll own nothing you will live in your pod you

00:30:11.000 will eat the bugs and you'll be happy.

00:30:13.000 This is the technocommunist future.

00:30:17.000 The next stage in the evolution of life is multicellular organisms, all becoming hyper-specialized, never deviating in any way.

00:30:27.000 You are born to do a job, you are engineered to do a job, probably genetically.

00:30:31.000 The AI controls what you think, so you never deviate, you never want to deviate, you're scared to deviate, and if you do, Then you get removed.

00:30:39.000 Yeah.

00:30:40.000 And then what happens is the AI will effectively be the brain telling all of the individual multicellular humans what the massive multicellular multi-organism is supposed to be doing.

00:30:52.000 The AI will effectively be the conscious entity of all humanity and we'll be nothing but a skin cell to be flicked off and destroyed. 0.99

00:30:59.000 I can't believe I shaved my dick for this. 0.99

00:31:03.000 With this, though, like if you look at it, I see what you're saying, but okay, let's say you have Elon Musk, right? 0.99

00:31:08.000 You have electric cars, AI, all these different things that he's doing.

00:31:13.000 Which one of these things going towards this does he not benefit from?

00:31:17.000 So even though you look at him like a good guy, a genius, these things that he does, don't you think that there could be a chance that this maybe isn't the greatest guy in the world and it could be benefiting him completely?

00:31:28.000 Yeah, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

00:31:30.000 That's what I mean.

00:31:31.000 He's always worried me in that sense.

00:31:33.000 Like, I hate electric cars, I'll just say it, but that's just because maybe being from Detroit I just like the feel of an actual car and that's just a preference of mine.

00:31:42.000 But I don't get in a Tesla and be like, this is cool.

00:31:44.000 It's something I don't enjoy personally.

00:31:47.000 I like it, but understand, whether it's Tesla or any other electric car... Oh, I'm not saying it's just his brand, it's just how I feel about it.

00:31:54.000 Whatever car it is, there will come a day, very soon, where a person will get in the car, and the doors will lock, and it says, a warrant has been issued for Mr. Landau, driving to the police station.

00:32:03.000 And he'll go, what?

00:32:04.000 It senses your fingerprints on the steering wheel or something?

00:32:06.000 No, it's the camera!

00:32:07.000 Right there, look at your face!

00:32:08.000 Facial recognition.

00:32:09.000 It says, hello Dave, a warrant has been issued by Precinct 99.

00:32:13.000 And you'll be like, okay, but like, delivering you to jail.

00:32:16.000 That's why I want, like, an older gas guzzler that has none of those features. 0.91

00:32:20.000 I love those cars.

00:32:21.000 There are very few of them at this point.

00:32:23.000 Yeah, they're trying to get them away, but I think a lot of people feel that way because lots are filled with electric cars right now.

00:32:29.000 People aren't buying them, and I think that's out of that fear.

00:32:32.000 I think dissent is part of the United States ethos.

00:32:35.000 Like, if there's corrupt government, you dissent, create a better government by the people.

00:32:39.000 Like, the people govern themselves.

00:32:40.000 But the rest of the world's not really built like that.

00:32:43.000 They're much about fall in line.

00:32:44.000 A lot of them are like that.

00:32:45.000 Oh, I think you're right about that, for sure.

00:32:46.000 And it's bleeding into our culture.

00:32:48.000 I can feel it with this whole, like, everyone organized on the centered system.

00:32:51.000 It's better, like, the World Economic Forum.

00:32:52.000 They want everything, like, monitored.

00:32:54.000 Now, think about this.

00:32:56.000 Here's the real danger in my mind of this hyper-centralized AI dictating everything.

00:33:01.000 Yeah.

00:33:02.000 Using the human body as the metaphor, the next stage, all humans, specialized, being controlled, no free radicals, to be eliminated, etc., the A.I.' 's in control.

00:33:10.000 There are people whose conscious minds are in control of their bodies, gorging themselves to death and doing drugs and destroying their bodies.

00:33:19.000 And still, when they get cancer, we destroy it.

00:33:23.000 So what freaks me out in that idea, not that it's one for one, but let's say we do move in this direction where AI controls everything, we don't even realize it.

00:33:30.000 The AI could be gorging itself on drugs and sugars, and we would just be milling about being like, everything's so perfect, until the entirety of humanity collapses.

00:33:42.000 We cannot trust a centralized AI to make sure, or to follow any of this, and it's where everything's been going in the past couple decades.

00:33:51.000 Well, and really, even in the past couple, I don't know, I shouldn't even say months, but really, it's already had so many problems with AI that it's really, like, upsetting people to the point that you have Ice Cube, you have other people speaking out about the fears of it.

00:34:05.000 Oh, sorry, am I not?

00:34:06.000 Lower it.

00:34:07.000 Sorry.

00:34:07.000 You're good.

00:34:08.000 Um, but you have, you have people speaking out against it.

00:34:11.000 You already have so many problems with it just in, I guess it's not in its infancy, but I think compared to the, you know, technology, it really is.

00:34:18.000 There's already been so many issues with this.

00:34:20.000 Don't you think that there's other places to go?

00:34:22.000 They're going to be far more dangerous than just the tiny stuff that we've seen.

00:34:26.000 Yeah, as you were talking about how we're having problems with AI, I got this article from fortune.com.

00:34:32.000 ChatGPT went from correctly answering a simple math problem 98% of the time to just 2% of the time.

00:34:38.000 So the way an AI can flip and everything looks good, and then one little piece of data can switch and the entire system can start outputting something that's just slightly wrong, but it's just wrong enough to destroy the entire thing.

00:34:50.000 It takes so much effort to make it right, and it's so easy to fail.

00:34:53.000 Have you guys seen where video games are already at with this stuff?

00:34:56.000 Dude, it's crazy.

00:34:57.000 It used to be... Super Mario Brothers.

00:35:00.000 Mario goes in the castle, and text appears.

00:35:03.000 Thank you for saving me, but the prince is in another castle.

00:35:05.000 That was the extent of NPC communication with you.

00:35:09.000 It advanced to games now where you can choose to say something, and then a voice actor's scripted line will speak.

00:35:14.000 That's a great idea!

00:35:16.000 Let's get the mission underway!

00:35:17.000 And you're like, cool.

00:35:18.000 Now, with text to voice, and...

00:35:21.000 Predictive language models.

00:35:23.000 Video games have already started. 1.00

00:35:25.000 You're wearing a headset, you walk up to the NPC, and you say something like, hey, idiot, ugly, I want to buy some soda. 1.00

00:35:33.000 And the NPC goes, who are you calling an idiot? 1.00

00:35:36.000 If you want to buy something, be polite. 1.00

00:35:38.000 A generated predictive response.

00:35:40.000 We are years away from people saying, I no longer want to live in reality.

00:35:45.000 I'm going to go into this universe where I can tune out and you're going to be sitting in your living room talking to fake people.

00:35:51.000 And we're already there with the robot girlfriends. 0.99

00:35:54.000 Man, y'all's getting crazy out there.

00:35:56.000 Well, and how many people want to live in the current reality?

00:36:00.000 Is it intentional?

00:36:01.000 I mean, it's not really that great right now.

00:36:03.000 I mean, the last couple years, everything has fallen completely, and I'm sure a lot of people would prefer to live in a... I mean, I'm just saying it's... And the headlines that go behind that, right?

00:36:10.000 Like, if you're a millennial, they're saying, it's gonna be impossible to buy a house, it's gonna be impossible to start a family, it's gonna be... Like, there's all of these negative things.

00:36:16.000 At a certain point, it would be easy to be like, I'm just giving up.

00:36:19.000 Like, this place that gives me comfort and gives me the life I want is easier, right?

00:36:23.000 I can understand the attraction to that.

00:36:25.000 I just think ultimately that's really devoid of actual emotional connection and support.

00:36:30.000 I think part of the issue is that we train people to seek out momentary pleasure and comfort rather than work through issues that they're having.

00:36:37.000 And it's easier to give up.

00:36:40.000 Yeah the idea of community and you take out the idea of a lot of things like that when you do want that instant gratification but which we've completely taught our society to have is endless dopamine hits and instant likes and no attention span but then you add like the other day I saw a video is for basically Gen Z's and Millennials where it's just If you want to buy a $500,000 house, all you need is a $25,000 down payment, and then you need $3,000 a month at a 6.5% interest rate.

00:37:08.000 I'm like, wow, that sounds like hell.

00:37:11.000 Like pure hell to try to pitch that to somebody.

00:37:14.000 It doesn't look good.

00:37:15.000 I mean, you're basically telling people that a reality of a way that life once worked is no longer available.

00:37:22.000 It's a complete turn-off.

00:37:24.000 I don't I'm just saying that's not like a realistic it's not a realistic interest rate it's not a realistic down pay it's none of that's even it's all pretend I don't just in that I don't agree that's bad So the issue is relativity, and the issue with VR is that it will always offer you the greener grass, no matter what it is.

00:37:44.000 You're not going to go back 200 years and say that we have it worse.

00:37:48.000 Actually, there's no lights anywhere, it's dark out, you could just die.

00:37:52.000 You stub your toe, you get an infection, you're dead.

00:37:55.000 Horrible things were going on, and even as bad as it is now relative to how things may have been in economic booms or whatever, it's still pretty great.

00:38:02.000 Of course.

00:38:02.000 But there will always be struggle, there will always be problems, and people will always choose a free dopamine hit over the harsh reality they live in.

00:38:10.000 Yes.

00:38:11.000 So when the VR starts coming out, and it's already here, with predictive language NPCs, within a year or two, the language will be perfectly fluid.

00:38:20.000 Right now, it's rather, hey, why are you calling me ugly?

00:38:25.000 That was mean.

00:38:27.000 Give it a year or two.

00:38:28.000 It's gonna be perfect.

00:38:29.000 I mean, we went in one year with AI images.

00:38:32.000 I tweet out this horrible image of Pelosi.

00:38:34.000 One year later, you have photorealistic images being made in my mid-journey and getting better every day.

00:38:39.000 Dude, I would picture, like, you play the video game with the guy, Elder Scrolls VII or whatever, and he's talking to you, and you're like, then you're dreaming, and you're thinking about that one NPC.

00:38:46.000 You're like, that guy's really cool, man.

00:38:48.000 And then there's an app where you can actually call that NPC on the phone when you're not playing the game.

00:38:52.000 and bond with them and talk to them and then next time you're in the game

00:38:55.000 they could make it so the generative conversation was involved or not

00:38:58.000 involved.

00:38:59.000 Dude, I don't like that at all.

00:39:02.000 The only social skills you have now though is that. And imagine the people who are

00:39:06.000 going to retreat to significant others.

00:39:08.000 There's going to be... we're a year out from this at most.

00:39:13.000 People sitting in their living room wearing a headset, playing a video game, and talking to a computer program and saying, I love you so much.

00:39:20.000 And the computer program just goes, I love you too.

00:39:22.000 I really wish I could be there with you.

00:39:24.000 Then how long until we download those AIs into machines?

00:39:27.000 And here's the thing.

00:39:29.000 How long is it until it's just porn and nobody leaves their house ever?

00:39:33.000 That's exactly, but more than porn.

00:39:34.000 For real, like not even kidding.

00:39:36.000 But emotional and physical porn at the same time. 0.70

00:39:39.000 That's what I mean. 1.00

00:39:39.000 You're the hero and you get to have sex with the woman. 1.00

00:39:42.000 It's going to be crazy. 1.00

00:39:43.000 Yeah, realistic.

00:39:43.000 I mean, and then it goes farther than that because obviously we've taken something that, and I guess too what I mean by nostalgia is in even 200 years, if you looked when we were young and the amount of nostalgia that just we have in our generations.

00:39:56.000 insane because of how fast technology moved. You know, so what we see is crazy.

00:40:01.000 Like the amount of technology we have seen is it's not like it's ever been

00:40:05.000 this way for a group in history. We remember pre-internet and the way that

00:40:09.000 things were and the way that things are now. So the way that this all affects us,

00:40:13.000 the technology is different.

00:40:14.000 I think it's going to be different than people that are born today, because they're growing up with this, with all of this technology.

00:40:20.000 It's not going to be anything new or that crazy to them, but going from playing, like you said, getting a Nintendo when I was a kid, to seeing all of this, it makes very little sense to me.

00:40:31.000 Let's jump to this next story and talk about how we might get there.

00:40:34.000 We got this one from NDTV.

00:40:36.000 I see this story popping up all over the place.

00:40:38.000 Man tests positive for MERS coronavirus in Abu Dhabi, says World Health Organization.

00:40:45.000 A 28-year-old man has tested positive for a potentially fatal Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus.

00:40:50.000 Now, here's the thing.

00:40:51.000 MERS has been around for a while, right?

00:40:53.000 They say, what is it?

00:40:55.000 It's been recorded in 27 countries since 2012.

00:40:57.000 Over the time, 2,605 cases and 936 associated deaths have been reported.

00:41:02.000 Here's what we want to say about this.

00:41:04.000 A lot of people are suggesting this could be the catalyst for another lockdown as elections are looming.

00:41:09.000 I don't think so.

00:41:10.000 MERS has been around before.

00:41:12.000 It doesn't spread like COVID did.

00:41:13.000 COVID was novel, but they're calling it MERS-COV.

00:41:18.000 That's the freaky thing.

00:41:19.000 That's what I'm seeing a bunch of these stories do, because now they're associating MERS with COVID.

00:41:24.000 Yeah.

00:41:25.000 That could be a political catalyst for giving the government power to do whatever they want. 0.98

00:41:29.000 I think I saw there was a 25% death.

00:41:32.000 It kills like 30% of the people.

00:41:34.000 36?

00:41:35.000 36%.

00:41:35.000 So that's nothing like COVID.

00:41:37.000 That's something like you get it, you either survive it or you die.

00:41:40.000 And it's not really that... I don't know how transmissible it is.

00:41:43.000 One in three.

00:41:44.000 Sorry, Dave, were you about to say something?

00:41:46.000 No, no, it just sounds like they added three letters to MERS.

00:41:49.000 Exactly.

00:41:50.000 Because now they're associating the pandemic, the lockdown, the sickness, with something that they can say has a 36% mortality rate, despite the fact it does not spread nearly as horrifically, but could be enough for politicians to say, hey, MERS COVID is here, We need lockdowns.

00:42:08.000 We need mail-in voting.

00:42:10.000 The mortality rate is 36%.

00:42:11.000 Oh boy, here we go again.

00:42:13.000 Yeah, I do feel like they feel like COVID has worn out.

00:42:16.000 You know, they've been saying for a while, they had all the variants and at a certain point they were like, seems like people aren't going to stay at home no matter what.

00:42:24.000 And now we have the malaria outbreaks, which malaria can be really serious, but it is interesting that there's almost at times, if I'm cynical, feels like they're just trying to test out what will scare you enough to go home.

00:42:35.000 Oh, I think they are though.

00:42:36.000 I mean, and with this, it's, I, I don't think you can have another COVID lockdown because everybody just going to go, yeah, no, I'm not going to do that at all.

00:42:45.000 I don't know if I agree with that.

00:42:47.000 You think they will?

00:42:48.000 Some people maybe, but I don't think a lot of people will.

00:42:50.000 I don't think the majority will.

00:42:51.000 They're still calling for it.

00:42:52.000 You still have prominent liberal person on Twitter.

00:42:54.000 Peter Hotez.

00:42:55.000 Saying, yeah, didn't he just put out, we put it out just recently, we got locked down again.

00:42:59.000 I'll quote him, yeah, he said something like that.

00:43:01.000 Yeah, he's the worst.

00:43:02.000 Professor Peter Hotez, MD, PhD. 0.96

00:43:04.000 But to be fair, he's terrible.

00:43:06.000 Yeah, he's...

00:43:07.000 Didn't he write a book called Vaccines Didn't Give My Daughters Autism I Did From Junk Food by Peter Hotez?

00:43:12.000 He was like gleefully telling Joe Rogan that he feeds his autistic daughter junk food. 0.83

00:43:16.000 Yeah. 0.97

00:43:17.000 Like in Blame, it's insane. 1.00

00:43:19.000 Yeah, that guy is a, he's just worthless. 0.94

00:43:23.000 But wasn't he just saying recently something about like, you know, I'm looking at his Twitter. 0.96

00:43:27.000 I can't find it.

00:43:27.000 Oh, it was the post Barbie.

00:43:29.000 Yeah, this post Barbie world. 0.52

00:43:31.000 Let's not forget.

00:43:33.000 I'm nervous about COVID.

00:43:35.000 Everyone's going to the movies.

00:43:36.000 So he was like, oh, but no one's masking anymore.

00:43:38.000 No one's doing tests anymore.

00:43:40.000 I think that was the tweet, right?

00:43:41.000 Yeah, it was something like that.

00:43:42.000 The movies are so popular we have to worry about another rise in COVID, basically.

00:43:46.000 Which is also like a typical, like, don't go have fun, I'm holier-than-you-for-have-noticed-this, I'm protecting you all with my great ideas.

00:43:53.000 We have anonymous sex apps and we're worried about people going to the movies.

00:43:57.000 It's absurd.

00:43:59.000 Go to the movies, bring a wipe if you want with you.

00:44:02.000 But haven't we already proven that putting on a mask with dirty fingers isn't going to help you all that much?

00:44:08.000 Oh my gosh.

00:44:10.000 Are we allowed to say that?

00:44:11.000 100%. 0.98

00:44:11.000 Yeah, if you're re-breathing fecal matter in your mask, it's about as disgusting as it gets. 0.98

00:44:16.000 Or like, where do you carry your mask?

00:44:17.000 You put it in your bag or coat pocket?

00:44:19.000 That thing's gross. 1.00

00:44:20.000 Here's a tweet.

00:44:22.000 I just want to pull the tweet.

00:44:25.000 Peter Hodes said, not to be a Debbie Downer, but anyone worried about a post-Barbie box office COVID bump or post-oppy?

00:44:32.000 We'll probably never know since no one seems to be keeping track of such things anymore.

00:44:36.000 Keep up with your boosters and find a pink N95 or KN95 if you can.

00:44:41.000 And he's just talking about the box office for these two movies.

00:44:45.000 Now I don't know if that really matters, but I do want to stress, this is my point, these people are still calling for these things to happen again.

00:44:52.000 Yo, there were a lot of places where people did not follow the protocols.

00:44:56.000 I didn't.

00:44:57.000 But there were a lot of places that did to an extreme degree.

00:45:00.000 Absolutely.

00:45:01.000 And there was enforcement of these things to ridiculous degrees.

00:45:04.000 So I don't think it's an issue of whether people want or don't want something because they let it happen in the first place.

00:45:09.000 And local cops and sheriff's department went and arrested cafe owners and salon owners.

00:45:14.000 The cops will do as they're told.

00:45:16.000 A lot of those things are hard once they get started.

00:45:18.000 They're easier to stop from happening.

00:45:19.000 Once it gets rolling, then you're like, especially as a cop, you're like, well, God, they already put it into place. 0.53

00:45:23.000 Now I've got to kind of do my job and enforce the dumb rule that got put into place.

00:45:27.000 But if you don't let them put the rule into place in the first place.

00:45:29.000 But this also had, though, a lot of cops, though, the new business owners that were like, you know what?

00:45:32.000 You don't have to build your restaurant outside.

00:45:34.000 It's fine.

00:45:35.000 You have a speakeasy now.

00:45:36.000 I mean, there were a lot of places in this country who didn't deal with it.

00:45:39.000 You know, I mean, you can't, I guess, legally, you can't say that or have a statistic on it.

00:45:43.000 Speakeasy existed in prohibition.

00:45:45.000 Of course.

00:45:46.000 And there were cops who would look the other way and things like that.

00:45:48.000 But I'm not saying it was the majority, unfortunately.

00:45:51.000 You are right.

00:45:52.000 I think what happens is the fragmentation of community and the family, and partly due to the internet.

00:46:00.000 What did they do in New Jersey with Attila's gym?

00:46:03.000 They brought cops, but the local cops didn't do what the city wanted.

00:46:07.000 So they got cops from a different suburban town to come in and enforce the law.

00:46:11.000 Here's the crazy thing about all that.

00:46:13.000 Why would any community accept external police Coming into their community to enforce rules their community does not agree with is the crazy thing, but is the proof to what I'm talking about.

00:46:25.000 Irrational fear.

00:46:26.000 They had to bring in state troopers into New York because a lot of NYPD guys didn't want to enforce these rules, like shut down bars and stuff.

00:46:31.000 So they bring in a different agency.

00:46:34.000 Now I can understand the hierarchy of law enforcement.

00:46:36.000 State police have different jurisdiction.

00:46:38.000 They have more jurisdiction.

00:46:40.000 But the idea that there are two cities.

00:46:41.000 Let's call it city, city, city, town, and town city.

00:46:45.000 Cityville in the Village of Cities town, whatever.

00:46:48.000 And one city's like, we want to force everyone in their homes, but they're refusing and the cops won't enforce it.

00:46:54.000 Let's bring in cops from a different town. 0.99

00:46:55.000 Why would anyone in the community be like, we certainly respect this police department with no jurisdiction in our town?

00:47:01.000 But they did.

00:47:01.000 That's the point.

00:47:02.000 Yes, they did.

00:47:03.000 I guess my point is, how do we continue making a living in this country?

00:47:08.000 How do we not keep everybody from going completely impoverished?

00:47:12.000 How do we keep any brick-and-mortar business going, any restaurant running, anything really working that's not just a giant corporation where you work in a warehouse, wearing a mask all day, sweating... I mean, really, what's the endgame?

00:47:24.000 I mean, it does go at a lot of this X stuff we were talking about and going into that sort of bleak future, but why wouldn't we fight against that? 1.00

00:47:33.000 I think that question is a good question for Peter Hotez and people like Peter Hotez that made tons of money and became super well known during the pandemic because of the pandemic.

00:47:41.000 Like that guy has everything to gain from seeing another pandemic the way he made out during COVID.

00:47:45.000 Without it he becomes irrelevant.

00:47:47.000 Yep.

00:47:48.000 Think about how many people are sitting there thinking, all these doctors, they're like, oh man, I'd love, I mean Fauci's not on TV anymore, right?

00:47:56.000 Well no, once people found him to be a slight bit shady, they had to finally, you know, kind of push him to the side.

00:48:01.000 MSNBC didn't push him to the side for being shady.

00:48:03.000 Well no, they don't care.

00:48:05.000 They held big umbrellas with his face on it and twirled around on, what was it, Jimmy Kimmel or something or Colbert or whatever?

00:48:10.000 Oh yeah, the dancing needles.

00:48:11.000 He didn't get booted from TV because he was shady, because COVID's not relevant anymore so they don't need him.

00:48:17.000 People like that, they're salivated at the idea of locking down again because it keeps them in the news and it gives them power.

00:48:23.000 Of course, they love power.

00:48:25.000 That's what a large part of it is, is power.

00:48:28.000 That's the problem, is if you're supposed to be somebody who's out there protecting the public, and all you do is hurt people, why would anybody believe you anymore?

00:48:37.000 I don't understand the logic. 0.98

00:48:38.000 Now, I do agree people are dumb, not even dumb, they're scared, and they are definitely going to believe things, and they're going to be gullible, and they're going to do anything to protect their families. 0.96

00:48:48.000 But how much more evidence do you need that that didn't work? 0.99

00:48:52.000 I have a theory with Fauci.

00:48:54.000 I think that he really believed he was helping people, and he was being used by the pharmaceutical industry to sell pharma drugs for profit.

00:49:01.000 They're like, let's just find a guy that's obsessed with public health.

00:49:04.000 Because I try to picture Fauci being in a back room, being like, we're going to make so much money on this.

00:49:07.000 But I just don't see it.

00:49:08.000 And that's why people liked him, the amount of people that did, because he truly believed what he was saying.

00:49:12.000 Like, they're going to help you.

00:49:14.000 You're going to get the thing.

00:49:15.000 It's going to be great.

00:49:16.000 You're going to be fine.

00:49:17.000 Wear two masks.

00:49:18.000 And everyone's like, He believes it, so I believe him!

00:49:21.000 Isn't he the highest paid government employee, though?

00:49:24.000 He was.

00:49:25.000 He was?

00:49:26.000 He was making tons of money.

00:49:27.000 He has the biggest pension, or maybe not anymore, but to me it's hard to believe that this guy isn't aware of money, especially when he signed up to do a documentary with Disney.

00:49:36.000 Yeah, when he's like, hey, I made AIDS worse and I throw like a girl. 0.99

00:49:40.000 There is a desire to have attention and be famous there.

00:49:44.000 I think the desire to be compensated and paid is part of that.

00:49:48.000 Yeah, it's almost irrelevant to muse about what his intentions were, I don't know.

00:49:52.000 Yeah, we'll never know.

00:49:52.000 But he did make a lot of money, I would imagine, during the pandemic.

00:49:55.000 Unless he comes on the show.

00:49:55.000 And he became very- that would be awesome.

00:49:57.000 Well, and they were pumping out that documentary while they're like, you know, the human trafficking one?

00:50:01.000 Just keep that one shelved.

00:50:03.000 Let's make sure everybody finds out about how great Fauci is.

00:50:06.000 Just recently?

00:50:07.000 Yeah.

00:50:07.000 Oh, I didn't see it.

00:50:08.000 What's it called?

00:50:09.000 Uh, The Sound of Freedom.

00:50:10.000 Yeah, I was talking about the Fauci doc.

00:50:12.000 Oh! 0.60

00:50:13.000 No, there was the one on Disney Plus.

00:50:15.000 Oh.

00:50:15.000 Yeah, they shelved Sound of Freedom.

00:50:17.000 And now it's a sleeper hit!

00:50:19.000 Yep.

00:50:19.000 Makes 125 million so far.

00:50:21.000 Yeah, yeah. 1.00

00:50:21.000 I don't know why I answered your question like an idiot. 1.00

00:50:23.000 Is that a QAnon movie? 1.00

00:50:24.000 I don't know what you guys are talking about.

00:50:26.000 And now what the smear from the left is, these outlets, is that no one's actually seeing the movie.

00:50:32.000 That in reality, they're just paying for tickets, but no one actually seeing it.

00:50:36.000 Well, you can pay it forward.

00:50:37.000 That's such a lie.

00:50:38.000 You're so desperate!

00:50:38.000 That's like a terrible argument.

00:50:40.000 You can literally buy tickets from scanning at the end of the movie and people are buying them.

00:50:44.000 So let's say they're not, then people are still buying those tickets.

00:50:47.000 I bought $1,000 worth of them just to give them away with the pay-it-forward thing.

00:50:51.000 I thought that was a cool initiative.

00:50:52.000 I bought a ton of tickets.

00:50:53.000 It wouldn't matter one way or the other.

00:50:55.000 It's still profiting for the movie.

00:50:57.000 Let's talk about this.

00:50:57.000 We got this story from The Guardian.

00:50:58.000 Let's pull this up.

00:50:59.000 Sound of Freedom passed the $100 million mark.

00:51:02.000 Who's really watching the movie?

00:51:03.000 They say the QAnon-adjacent film, co-opted by the right wing, has a pay-it-forward scheme resulting in sold-out shows but empty theaters.

00:51:11.000 That is a lie.

00:51:12.000 It's a flat-out lie.

00:51:14.000 Their evidence is that they went to a local theater.

00:51:18.000 Check out the weasel language they use here.

00:51:20.000 According to Fandango, all but 28 seats had been sold for the 3 p.m.

00:51:23.000 screening of Sound of Freedom.

00:51:25.000 As the lights dimmed, however, The Guardian counted 45 vacant seats dotted around the half-empty theater.

00:51:30.000 Full stop!

00:51:31.000 The lights dimmed twice.

00:51:33.000 When a movie ends, the lights go full brightness.

00:51:36.000 Then, the lights will dim slightly for pre, like the, the, the movie go, whatever it's called, pre-screener?

00:51:41.000 Yeah.

00:51:41.000 Where it's like, you know, lasers, and you hold up your phone and stuff.

00:51:44.000 Then it dims, then the lights shut off.

00:51:48.000 My question is, are they lying by manipulating, so being factual but not truthful, in that when the lights dimmed, half the theater was empty?

00:51:57.000 Are you saying that people showed up early for the movie and then when the lights dimmed for the previews, the theater was half empty?

00:52:02.000 Or are you saying when the lights actually dimmed for the start of the film, the theater was empty?

00:52:06.000 Check this out.

00:52:07.000 He says, minutes before the 6.30 screening, Fandango showed that only two seats were available.

00:52:12.000 Again, there were more than two vacant spots as the film began.

00:52:16.000 Three?

00:52:17.000 Wow.

00:52:18.000 What does more than two mean?

00:52:19.000 Well, that's empty.

00:52:20.000 More than two definitely means it's not a sellout.

00:52:22.000 No one is there.

00:52:23.000 It sounds like what actually happened was, the theater was half full before the previews even started.

00:52:29.000 Right.

00:52:30.000 The lights dim, and they're like, theater's half empty!

00:52:32.000 Yeah.

00:52:33.000 Then before the movie actually starts, there's like six seats that are available, and they're like, more than two?

00:52:39.000 Some people didn't shop?

00:52:40.000 Yeah, some people missed their movie.

00:52:42.000 Well, take a look at this.

00:52:43.000 Currently, Sound of Freedom's at 124 million.

00:52:45.000 One was Obama's chef.

00:52:47.000 That's right.

00:52:48.000 And, uh, number three, only behind Barbie and Oppenheimer, of course, those are the big movies that just came out, Sound of Freedom is beating Mission Impossible.

00:52:58.000 Yeah.

00:52:59.000 Sorry, Tom Cruise, take that.

00:53:00.000 Beating Mission Impossible. You know, The Flash is considered the biggest one of the it may be the biggest box

00:53:06.000 office bomb in history.

00:53:07.000 Wow. Did it just come out?

00:53:08.000 It's odd when you take somebody who kidnaps women and tortures them and then you're like, you can still be The Flash.

00:53:14.000 Oh, yeah. What's that, guys?

00:53:17.000 I was in L.A.

00:53:18.000 They made back like 260 of their 400 million.

00:53:21.000 So they were like, we can't cancel this film.

00:53:24.000 Look, I'll take 50 cents on the dollar, but I'm not taking zero.

00:53:27.000 I really like Michael Shannon, too.

00:53:28.000 I feel bad that he's got to take a hit on that one.

00:53:31.000 Who is he in the movie?

00:53:33.000 I guess he's the bad guy.

00:53:34.000 I don't know who he plays, but...

00:53:35.000 I wonder how many of the people involved with The Flash are making money off of it.

00:53:38.000 Like when 240 million comes in of your 400, does the production house eat it?

00:53:42.000 And they're like, sorry Blackrock, ESG, we'll pay it forward.

00:53:46.000 We'll donate to some kids in Rwanda or something.

00:53:46.000 Yeah.

00:53:48.000 I also feel that with superhero movies, it's like it's fine.

00:53:52.000 We'll just make it all back with every other superhero movie we make this year.

00:53:55.000 Yeah.

00:53:56.000 Don't worry about it.

00:53:56.000 I assume it's not like per movie.

00:53:58.000 There's an ultimate, you know, bottom line.

00:54:01.000 And even that, it's like, yeah, we lost a couple hundred million, but we still made back a few hundred million.

00:54:06.000 So it's not like the end of the world for these studios.

00:54:08.000 OK.

00:54:10.000 No, I mean, I think I think it's about Netflix right now.

00:54:13.000 Netflix had a bunch of like house related flipping shows that are all Netflix originals like Like you're looking at these things and you're like, how much is the budget per episode here?

00:54:22.000 But it's because ultimately Netflix is trying to decide which style of show people are going to watch, which they'll renew.

00:54:27.000 They're able to throw up a ton of losses if they can ultimately decide it's worth it as a business investment because they are making money off of other things.

00:54:34.000 Did you know there was a movie called Ruby Gilman Teenage Kraken that came out?

00:54:38.000 No.

00:54:38.000 I'm just like looking at the box office.

00:54:40.000 Oh, I did!

00:54:40.000 Oh, wait, this is the one where there's like a mermaid.

00:54:42.000 Who's in green?

00:54:42.000 Yes, I did.

00:54:43.000 It was like a month and a half ago, I guess.

00:54:45.000 That one must be doing very badly on the box office.

00:54:47.000 Terrifier, The Blackening, The Boogeyman.

00:54:50.000 The Blackening I wanted to see. 1.00

00:54:52.000 What is it?

00:54:53.000 It's like a horror movie, but it's by the people that did... Get Out?

00:54:57.000 Oh, no, not Get Out, but I see what you did.

00:55:01.000 I don't know.

00:55:01.000 I don't know anything about movies.

00:55:03.000 I know what you did.

00:55:03.000 No, no.

00:55:04.000 They did a parody, too, of another... It is, like, parodies of black movies. 0.50

00:55:09.000 But this one is, yeah, they all go to a camp, or go to a house in the woods.

00:55:14.000 So it is, like, all black people in a house in the woods horror movie. 0.99

00:55:16.000 The tagline is, we can't all die first.

00:55:19.000 That's awesome.

00:55:19.000 Exactly.

00:55:21.000 So I do want to see that one, actually.

00:55:23.000 The big news is... Meet the Blacks is the people.

00:55:26.000 We're nearly, we're 20 days on nearly, about three weeks on.

00:55:30.000 Sound of Freedom on Saturday hit $7.5 million.

00:55:35.000 Beating, I'm sorry, on Friday they beat Mission Impossible by $200k, about $140k.

00:55:40.000 They lost Sunday by about $400k, but then almost $700,000 Sound of Freedom beats Mission Impossible on Sunday.

00:55:48.000 The crazy thing is, Sound of Freedom has consistently been hitting millions every day.

00:55:55.000 Saturday, July 15th, $10 million.

00:55:58.000 Friday, $7 million.

00:56:00.000 This is amazing.

00:56:00.000 So here's what I want to say about The Guardian.

00:56:03.000 They're trying to make it seem like suspicious sales, the theaters are empty, but they're claiming they saw it, and I'm like... There were two seats with people that weren't even in them.

00:56:11.000 If you think you're gonna go to Hollywood studios and say, Don't support these movies?

00:56:17.000 People are willing to pay to see it and not actually even go to the theater.

00:56:21.000 The studio's gonna be like, wait, hold on.

00:56:24.000 People are giving money in exchange for nothing?

00:56:26.000 They're just like literally giving their money away?

00:56:28.000 Can we make more of these?

00:56:30.000 Why would a studio say no to that?

00:56:32.000 Yeah, or a movie house, because it's less upkeep on the house to have to clean after the- Exactly!

00:56:36.000 People have to be like, they're morality tales, and the guy at the studio's like, oh, I work for the devil.

00:56:42.000 Is there a way to do this where- There's a slight con for me here.

00:56:44.000 Where we're evil?

00:56:45.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:56:47.000 Oh, I can't make these at all.

00:56:48.000 It's kind of even our contract.

00:56:50.000 I love how their smear is.

00:56:53.000 This movie was so important that people are paying for tickets but not actually going.

00:56:58.000 As if that's going to discredit it in any way.

00:57:02.000 It's a capitalist dream.

00:57:04.000 You mean I can bake the cake and keep it?

00:57:07.000 And you're gonna pay me money anyway?

00:57:08.000 That's amazing.

00:57:10.000 And you know this semi-feminist Barbie movie is not able to say the same thing. 1.00

00:57:13.000 Like, our movie is so culturally important, please buy tickets for other people.

00:57:17.000 People you may not even know.

00:57:18.000 Like, where is the Barbie go buy tickets for other people campaign?

00:57:22.000 It doesn't exist because that movie obviously doesn't tell a story that people want to hear or feel a moral imperative to share with other people.

00:57:29.000 That's one of the things that's so unique about Sound of Freedom.

00:57:32.000 You just can't replicate that everywhere.

00:57:34.000 Well, no, and it's very important for people to see.

00:57:36.000 I mean, I have a son, right after I saw it, he was wearing bright yellow for the next three days because it's haunting.

00:57:43.000 I mean, it really is a terrible story and it's very real.

00:57:47.000 I think it's odd that it's taken this long for people to kind of open their eyes in this way to human trafficking because it's everywhere and it's been everywhere in plain sight for a very, very long time.

00:57:57.000 But at least it's finally out there and people are getting to be a little bit more aware of it.

00:58:01.000 But it's important, and it's important that these tickets are available for people, because a lot of it is just for people who can't afford to go to the movies.

00:58:09.000 That's why people are buying them.

00:58:10.000 So you can just go and see it.

00:58:12.000 Yeah, it matters.

00:58:12.000 And that's not Barbie.

00:58:14.000 It's like you've made 800 Barbies now for everybody, where you have, like, handicapped wheelchair Barbie, you have spina bifida Barbie, you have all these things, but then you make the movie, and it's just hot-ass Barbie.

00:58:25.000 He's not joking, ladies and gentlemen.

00:58:27.000 No, I'm serious.

00:58:27.000 And why didn't Lizzo play Barbie?

00:58:29.000 I was shocked she didn't.

00:58:30.000 But date feminism! 1.00

00:58:31.000 No, I figured they would.

00:58:31.000 No, like for real though.

00:58:33.000 That's why everyone tried claiming Margot Robbie was unattractive. 1.00

00:58:36.000 Because the reality was... It's a lie.

00:58:38.000 That's a lie.

00:58:39.000 Oh, I know!

00:58:39.000 She's conventional Hollywood attractive.

00:58:41.000 Yeah, sorry.

00:58:42.000 She's like the conventional Hollywood beautiful actress. 1.00

00:58:45.000 Yes.

00:58:46.000 But they have to say that because then people are gonna go, oh, why wouldn't Barbie?

00:58:49.000 It's a feminist film. 1.00

00:58:50.000 Why didn't they cast Lizzo?

00:58:52.000 Or a trans woman. 0.75

00:58:53.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:58:54.000 That's why I don't even look at the cover of Sports Illustrated, because I don't know anymore.

00:58:59.000 No.

00:59:00.000 Well, the reality is their ideology is... It's nonsense.

00:59:03.000 It is.

00:59:04.000 Here's the funny thing.

00:59:04.000 Remember the movie Bros?

00:59:06.000 You know that one?

00:59:06.000 Yeah, I know that one.

00:59:07.000 Billy Eichner's... The gay comedy one? 0.91

00:59:09.000 Yeah.

00:59:10.000 Okay.

00:59:11.000 Miserably.

00:59:11.000 It bombed.

00:59:12.000 It was like one of the worst... Yeah.

00:59:13.000 Bombs.

00:59:14.000 Yeah.

00:59:14.000 And he's at this show and he's walking through the aisle being like, Everybody, please go see this movie!

00:59:18.000 You have to!

00:59:19.000 Nobody wanted to pay a dime for it. 0.98

00:59:21.000 Especially gay men.

00:59:23.000 I mean, look, maybe they did want to see it. 0.69

00:59:25.000 I don't know.

00:59:25.000 I'm just saying... At least the ones I knew were like, no.

00:59:27.000 But if you're talking to 3% or 1% of the population, your market cap is going to be 1% of typical box office market cap.

00:59:37.000 If you make a movie that's called All Men Are Dumb, don't expect men to go see it.

00:59:41.000 If you make a movie about a gay relationship, don't expect straight people to go see it. 0.98

00:59:45.000 Well, they didn't.

00:59:46.000 Here's the thing.

00:59:47.000 Sound of Freedom is the inverse of that.

00:59:50.000 People on the right, post-liberals, people who care about this issue, They want the movie so badly, they're willing to pay extra for other people to go see it.

00:59:59.000 Yeah, it's like information.

01:00:00.000 You're actually going to see, to learn some information.

01:00:03.000 It's a drama about a real life story, but you're still learning about real life things.

01:00:09.000 So it's like a documentary.

01:00:10.000 And sadly, you're getting clips of the real life events.

01:00:14.000 Yeah, literally.

01:00:15.000 Yeah.

01:00:15.000 And that's horrifying, but when you see it, you realize how... How fast it can happen?

01:00:21.000 Yep.

01:00:22.000 And how little people can do about it.

01:00:25.000 Because you have grown men with guns who pull up to kids playing soccer or whatever on the street and what are they going to do?

01:00:31.000 They're just trying to save whatever kids are just sitting there and then you have... And then what are the most egregious places where human trafficking happens?

01:00:39.000 They go right to Los Angeles.

01:00:40.000 It's one of the top three.

01:00:42.000 I also want to point this out, too.

01:00:44.000 In the Guardian story, it says, in a theater located in New York City's Times Square on Thursday afternoon, there seemed to be evidence of this.

01:00:50.000 Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah.

01:00:52.000 You mean to tell me that a Thursday afternoon they sold half the theater out?

01:00:56.000 I don't buy it.

01:00:57.000 No, no, a Thursday at 3 p.m.?

01:00:58.000 That's impressive to me.

01:01:00.000 Yeah.

01:01:02.000 Who goes to a 3 p.m.

01:01:03.000 Thursday showing?

01:01:05.000 If you even look at the Sound of Freedom box office, it's big days are weekends.

01:01:09.000 Duh.

01:01:10.000 This is why movies get released with Thursday previews over weekends.

01:01:13.000 So you're saying two weeks out, almost three weeks out, on a Thursday, they were able to fill up half the theater?

01:01:20.000 Yeah.

01:01:20.000 Come on.

01:01:20.000 Well, it looks like they filled up almost the entire theater by the time the movie started.

01:01:24.000 No, no, but two seats.

01:01:25.000 What are you talking about?

01:01:26.000 All but two, at least.

01:01:28.000 More than two.

01:01:29.000 That means three.

01:01:29.000 Do you think there were tourists on a Tuesday afternoon in Times Square?

01:01:32.000 That's my guess.

01:01:33.000 Maybe, but what I find fascinating is the fact that they're not acknowledging that you could go to any movie and be like one of two people in the theater and they still consider that movie a success, right?

01:01:45.000 This idea that they're not selling out every single show every single time But they're still making tons of money is irrelevant to them.

01:01:53.000 They're manipulating all of their data to try to make this look bad.

01:01:56.000 It's the same thing with this, like, QAnon slur, right? 0.97

01:01:58.000 Like, they have just decided this might be the way to scare people away from going, right?

01:02:03.000 To say, like, actually that many people aren't seeing it.

01:02:06.000 You're confused because actually not every seat is sold and we checked this one time. 0.86

01:02:09.000 Like, it's ridiculous.

01:02:11.000 Well, it's interesting because it's the only place in Times Square that you're not spending money on human trafficking at that hour. 0.97

01:02:19.000 Man.

01:02:20.000 No, it's true.

01:02:20.000 I'm just saying it's a creepy place.

01:02:23.000 I lived in New York for a while.

01:02:25.000 You do?

01:02:25.000 Yeah.

01:02:27.000 Of course, if you don't finish your red lobster, you can just set it on a homeless guy's tent, because that seems like a good idea.

01:02:33.000 Until he wakes up and he's like, why are there rats everywhere?

01:02:38.000 There's a meme.

01:02:39.000 Rolling Stone said something like, the QAnon film insulting Sound of Freedom.

01:02:44.000 And then next to it, it's juxtaposed with the in defense of cuties.

01:02:49.000 Oh, yeah.

01:02:50.000 Very weird that you would, you would try and dog that Sound of Freedom movie.

01:02:52.000 It was pretty good.

01:02:53.000 How can you give a good review to something like cuties or something that obviously exploits children?

01:02:57.000 And then you're like, well, I didn't care for the acting in this one.

01:03:00.000 Like you mean the real footage?

01:03:02.000 Yeah.

01:03:02.000 The real footage of it happening.

01:03:04.000 It's almost like they're okay with children being harmed.

01:03:06.000 Something about that.

01:03:07.000 I can see the argument they're making if, for instance, of the $130 million, $30 million was like George Soros or some wealthy investor that paid for a bunch of tickets and no one saw him.

01:03:19.000 And you're like, yes, 30% of the numbers were inflated.

01:03:22.000 That would be a story.

01:03:23.000 But if it's like two or three people didn't show up to a Tuesday afternoon movie, wait.

01:03:30.000 The jury's out.

01:03:30.000 Wait until we have some real data before you try and start slandering this thing, because people obviously like it.

01:03:35.000 It's like you said, the sense of community.

01:03:40.000 All of a sudden there is a slight sense of community, and people are freaking the hell out and writing articles about it.

01:03:45.000 Let's talk about Snow White.

01:03:47.000 We had this from TMZ.

01:03:48.000 They say, Rachel Zegler's Snow White old woke interview resurfaces ignites right-wing rage.

01:03:55.000 It's really weird to me that honest and average is considered right-wing.

01:04:02.000 Because you go and talk to the average person and you will find they hold these opinions.

01:04:07.000 So anyway, you may have seen the news that they have this image of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

01:04:12.000 I'm pretty sure that's not what it's called anymore because now it's like, what is it, the Seven Companions or something?

01:04:17.000 Yeah, and one's a dwarf, just the one guy.

01:04:19.000 Just the one.

01:04:20.000 So, you've got, you know, like a white guy, you've got a couple black people, you've got a fat guy, another white guy, a guy who is presumably black, maybe ethnically ambiguous, one little person, and then another guy.

01:04:31.000 So, uh, the story apparently is, the new Snow White movie will not be about her being rescued by Prince Charming or anything like that.

01:04:40.000 It's gonna be her trying to actualize her girlboss dreams or something? 1.00

01:04:44.000 Yeah.

01:04:45.000 Boo! 0.83

01:04:46.000 We should watch the interview.

01:04:47.000 It's just really... That's the worst!

01:04:49.000 It's terrifying.

01:04:51.000 Two minutes.

01:04:51.000 Here we go.

01:04:52.000 You said you were bringing a modern edge to it on stage.

01:04:54.000 What do you mean by that?

01:04:55.000 I just mean that it's no longer 1937, and we absolutely wrote a Snow White.

01:05:00.000 She's not going to be saved by the prince.

01:05:03.000 She's not going to be saved by the prince, and she's not going to be dreaming about true love.

01:05:06.000 She's dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be, and the leader that her late father told her that she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave, and true.

01:05:14.000 So patriarchy.

01:05:15.000 It's just a really incredible story for, I think, young people everywhere.

01:05:17.000 It's not Snow White.

01:05:19.000 Snow White is running for president.

01:05:20.000 So you're a Hispanic cleaning lady? 1.00

01:05:21.000 I'm launching my campaign.

01:05:22.000 I am.

01:05:24.000 Fearless, fair, brave, and true.

01:05:25.000 It's like a make-a-new-movie.

01:05:28.000 Yes, Snow White was cleaning for the house. 0.99

01:05:32.000 But that's what she's saying they're not going to do.

01:05:34.000 Oh, I thought she still had that same role, but then she wants to be a boss. 1.00

01:05:38.000 No, no, no, this movie is not Snow White.

01:05:41.000 It's like, there's no dwarves.

01:05:43.000 I don't know.

01:05:43.000 Dwarves?

01:05:44.000 There's one dwarf, but he's worthless. 1.00

01:05:46.000 She never touches him. 0.94

01:05:47.000 But here's what bothers me about it.

01:05:48.000 Yo, the seven dwarves were not little people.

01:05:53.000 They were fictional, mystical creatures who mined gemstones in a mountain.

01:05:59.000 They needed more diversity in their mining crew, though.

01:06:01.000 World of Warcraft, you're done.

01:06:03.000 You gotta get rid of the whole dwarf race. 1.00

01:06:06.000 This idea is a stereotype that little people are mining.

01:06:08.000 I don't know where it comes from, but it's gone.

01:06:10.000 They look like gnomes, too.

01:06:11.000 Like the World of Warcraft gnomes.

01:06:14.000 Yeah, they weren't like dwarves.

01:06:15.000 They're fictional mystical characters. 0.96

01:06:17.000 I mean, this is ridiculous on its face. 0.99

01:06:19.000 Happy, Sneezy, Dopey. 0.98

01:06:20.000 They represented emotions.

01:06:21.000 They lived in a house in the woods and mined gemstones.

01:06:24.000 Now hold on there a minute.

01:06:26.000 Do you think they're going to give these names to these people? 0.92

01:06:30.000 Dopey.

01:06:30.000 Who's going to be Dopey?

01:06:31.000 Who's Sleepy?

01:06:32.000 The one that's on heroin?

01:06:33.000 Sleepy is also on heroin.

01:06:37.000 They're all on it.

01:06:38.000 Yeah, Grumpy just doesn't have heroin.

01:06:40.000 Doc is on that.

01:06:41.000 Doc is just the pill mill.

01:06:44.000 This reminds me more of Hook, the movie with Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman.

01:06:50.000 Yes.

01:06:51.000 The Peter Pan movie.

01:06:52.000 And these look like the Lost Boys.

01:06:54.000 Like they're just kind of regurgitating the Lost Boys.

01:06:56.000 Yeah, one is Rufio, except he's just drugging her all the time. 0.99

01:07:00.000 I'm sorry dude, this movie's gonna bomb.

01:07:01.000 It's gonna bomb because, here's what's happening.

01:07:04.000 Regular people, like I went outside, I was always touching grass.

01:07:08.000 Actually I was touching sand because I was in Tijuana.

01:07:10.000 But I'm hanging out and talking to regular people about all the stuff and they're like, don't know, don't care, this is weird.

01:07:15.000 They just want regular stuff like we're used to.

01:07:17.000 You can't have this rapid...

01:07:19.000 Cultural shift in the span of six, seven years.

01:07:22.000 People are just weirded out by it.

01:07:24.000 Now, terminally online people, on the woke left, will say things that make no sense and just agree with each other.

01:07:30.000 Like, you know, everyone brings up to me non-stop the clip with Lance from the Serfs.

01:07:35.000 When he said, a woman should be able to get an abortion whenever she wants. 1.00

01:07:38.000 It's her body. 0.98

01:07:39.000 And then I asked him about meth.

01:07:40.000 He goes, well, she can't do that.

01:07:40.000 Intentionally kills the baby.

01:07:42.000 Everybody should. 1.00

01:07:42.000 And then Dave Chappelle goes, gotcha, bitch! 1.00

01:07:44.000 So everybody, someone made that edit. 0.99

01:07:46.000 And that is a contradiction in the mind of an individual who doesn't have convictions or logic.

01:07:52.000 He has tribal acceptance.

01:07:54.000 He will say what he is supposed to say.

01:07:56.000 And of course, this is why many leftists don't come on talk shows, because there's no logic to their ideas.

01:08:01.000 They're saying things that they're supposed to say.

01:08:04.000 Regular people don't live in that world.

01:08:06.000 So when you bring Woke Snow White, Girl Boss, and the Seven Companions, they're gonna be like, I don't know.

01:08:13.000 Are they gonna do a Snow White with the Prince?

01:08:14.000 I wanna see that.

01:08:15.000 Also, girls like talking about love. 0.98

01:08:17.000 They think about it all the time, and relationships. 1.00

01:08:19.000 The way they're hardwired to pretend otherwise is stupid. 1.00

01:08:22.000 It's disingenuous, also ridiculous. 1.00

01:08:26.000 I saw this interesting thing on Twitter, and it said the reason women get offended by mansplaining is because men and women communicate with each other differently. 0.80

01:08:33.000 Men talk to each other about things they know.

01:08:36.000 Women talk to each other about their feelings, on average. 1.00

01:08:39.000 So when a man starts talking to a woman, he starts talking about knowledge-based things, and the woman doesn't like it. 0.96

01:08:45.000 Women talk about feelings. 1.00

01:08:47.000 That's what they prefer more.

01:08:48.000 And you better listen.

01:08:50.000 So, but ultimately what it comes down to is...

01:08:53.000 How many people really, she's like, it's not 1937 anymore, she's gonna be the leader she can be.

01:08:57.000 Okay, well here's an honest question.

01:08:59.000 How many women genuinely want to be world leaders? 1.00

01:09:02.000 A lot of them do, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they don't.

01:09:04.000 I'm saying, I'm willing to bet, if you polled the average woman, go to Times Square, and walk up to as many people as possible and say, would you want to rule the world?

01:09:15.000 Men are probably two to one gonna say yes.

01:09:17.000 Women two to one gonna say no. 1.00

01:09:19.000 Someone on Twitter.

01:09:20.000 I'm not saying it's absolute.

01:09:22.000 A lot of women will say yes for sure. 1.00

01:09:23.000 No, but a lot of these stories have to come from a place of knowing, and I guarantee you a man wrote the script or greenlit it or gave notes.

01:09:29.000 There's an SNL sketch, not that they ever do very well with it, but there's one where it's a house full of people and it's one of the reality shows, and there's lesbians. 0.64

01:09:38.000 And the whole joke is the two women are laying in bed together and they're going like, I see you, I know I see you too, I see you, and I see you.

01:09:45.000 And it's hilarious because if a guy wrote that it would be like, what, Doc Martens?

01:09:50.000 They both work construction?

01:09:51.000 Like it would be this hacky, but it was actually really funny because it was written from a place of understanding who they actually were to make fun of it.

01:09:59.000 So you have this thing that doesn't actually make sense to any guy, and you probably have these studio heads going like, yeah, she wants to be a boss lady. 1.00

01:10:07.000 Like, we'll do it like that, right?

01:10:09.000 That's what all women want. 1.00

01:10:10.000 And you're not going to get anything that connects with an audience.

01:10:14.000 So here's the issue.

01:10:15.000 How many women want to see a movie about a woman being in charge, and how many men want to see a movie where the man is not needed and not useful? 1.00

01:10:26.000 None.

01:10:27.000 I'm sure some.

01:10:27.000 There's a market for it, but it's probably small.

01:10:29.000 Well, yeah.

01:10:30.000 Here's the question.

01:10:31.000 Why are there so many... I'll go with none.

01:10:34.000 How come 95% of strip clubs are women? 1.00

01:10:38.000 The girls that work there, you mean? 0.74

01:10:39.000 The people that work there?

01:10:40.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0.78

01:10:41.000 95% of strip clubs are women stripping. 1.00

01:10:43.000 I would say testosterone is probably the number one reason.

01:10:45.000 How come it's not 50-50? 0.95

01:10:45.000 Yeah, these feminists gotta get on these male strip clubs. 0.95

01:10:47.000 It's almost like girls don't want to go there. 0.97

01:10:49.000 It's interesting.

01:10:50.000 It's like they're not seeking out.

01:10:51.000 Like the women are a way of fantasizing about impregnating other women. 1.00

01:10:53.000 I've seen those bear movies and those fat ants sure go to town.

01:10:57.000 Women on average are not attracted to submissive men who are being controlled by someone else.

01:11:04.000 That's true.

01:11:05.000 This is my opinion, I'm not making it up.

01:11:06.000 I was reading studies on the disparity and what they've found is women go to male strip clubs typically because it's funny.

01:11:15.000 Women go to female strip clubs because it's funny. 1.00

01:11:19.000 Men go to female strip clubs because they're horny. 1.00

01:11:22.000 What they said was that women are not attracted to weak men who are being dominated by somebody else.

01:11:28.000 Going into a big room where the man has to perform for a group of people who are hooting and hollering is not typically attractive to a woman. 0.76

01:11:37.000 Seeing the creep that can come out in men who get way too aroused at a strip club, I would imagine it's not- it's like the girl from The Office who's like, I'll go, I don't mind seeing that, but then she'll never talk to you again.

01:11:47.000 Right.

01:11:48.000 Because she's seen you at your lowest point.

01:11:50.000 Like if you go- like if you go to a strip club, a male strip club, have you been?

01:11:54.000 No, I've never been to a male st- I've been- I've, like, so I was on a- You've never been to Danny's in Windsor?

01:11:58.000 No, I can't say, like, but the thing is, I have noticed among my- You have a bunch of names spotted ahead?

01:12:04.000 We would go to Cheetah's and the girls would go over there and giggle. 1.00

01:12:07.000 And we would be at what is essentially a whorehouse. 1.00

01:12:09.000 I've known girls who do that and they're like, haha, look how empowered, so fun! 0.99

01:12:12.000 But like, they're not going there for any reason, right?

01:12:16.000 They're going there to be like, I'm so forward thinking and edgy, right?

01:12:19.000 It's the same thing with like, when you have like, bachelorette parties, and they go to drag shows, right?

01:12:24.000 Like, at bars, hopefully appropriately aged.

01:12:27.000 They're going because it's like kind of something fun and different.

01:12:30.000 Men go to strip clubs for an entirely different reason.

01:12:33.000 They don't go just to be like, look at this fun group activity we're doing. 0.94

01:12:37.000 Like, sorry, you guys are creepy and weird.

01:12:38.000 Guys go by themselves. 0.65

01:12:40.000 I've never met a girl who's like going alone to an all-male strip club or like any of this.

01:12:40.000 Yeah.

01:12:46.000 It's ridiculous. 0.95

01:12:47.000 Oh, if you do, she's broken in every way imaginable. 0.99

01:12:49.000 I don't want to know her.

01:12:50.000 I feel bad for her.

01:12:51.000 I think part of it is important to acknowledge that like men and women Seek different things out of emotional relationships and even like watching movies, right?

01:13:00.000 So there are reasons what you'll have this stereotype of like the movie you go with your boyfriend to see versus the movie your girlfriend takes you to see.

01:13:07.000 I think the example of this weekend of Barbie and Oppenheimer, right?

01:13:10.000 People are talking about this like in a gendered way. 0.98

01:13:13.000 What I think is dumb about this She's not even thinking about falling in love! 0.99

01:13:17.000 Like, that's just such a lie! 0.98

01:13:19.000 Why are you stripping women from their emotional core?

01:13:21.000 Like, women are hardwired to seek community and relationships, and part of that is finding a life partner. 1.00

01:13:27.000 And that's cool and beautiful, and if you want her to be, you know, CEO of Not Dwarf Industries or whatever, that's fine, but to be like...

01:13:35.000 Because she's too good to be thinking about love.

01:13:38.000 That's sort of ugly towards women, right? 0.99

01:13:40.000 That's saying that these things that you feel naturally are something you should be ashamed of and avoid.

01:13:45.000 And that's a weird movie for a message to send.

01:13:47.000 Or a message for a movie to send.

01:13:49.000 I do like that Gal Gadot is the evil queen.

01:13:52.000 Gal Gadot looks at Rachel Zegler and she's like, I am jealous of how beautiful she is. 0.99

01:13:56.000 They look the same. 0.97

01:13:57.000 They should have got an ugly woman to play that role. 1.00

01:14:00.000 Well, I think the evil queen was beautiful, but she still was jealous. 1.00

01:14:03.000 That was part of her.

01:14:04.000 Maleficent or whatever.

01:14:04.000 Yeah.

01:14:05.000 Is that who it was?

01:14:06.000 Yeah.

01:14:07.000 It's not that Maleficent isn't beautiful.

01:14:08.000 It's just that she's jealous. 0.96

01:14:09.000 And part of Snow White's beauty is the fact that she's so kind and she's sweet and things like that.

01:14:14.000 There is a youthfulness about her that You know, this woman is jealous of him.

01:14:18.000 And that is actually a super interesting concept.

01:14:21.000 Women should explore that because jealousy is rampant among women, right? 1.00

01:14:24.000 You know what women really did like, though? 1.00

01:14:26.000 That movie where the dude kidnaps the woman's dad and then she gets Stockholm syndrome and marries him.

01:14:32.000 Beauty and the Beast.

01:14:34.000 Ah, yeah.

01:14:34.000 They do like that movie.

01:14:36.000 And he's not even a good-looking fella.

01:14:38.000 What happens?

01:14:39.000 Women are not as visually oriented as men. 0.68

01:14:39.000 See? 0.68

01:14:41.000 Who kidnaps who in that movie?

01:14:43.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:14:43.000 Uh, the dad.

01:14:44.000 The beast kidnaps her.

01:14:45.000 The beast kidnaps her dad.

01:14:46.000 Y'all made a billion dollars.

01:14:47.000 Yeah.

01:14:48.000 Made a billion dollars.

01:14:49.000 Beauty.

01:14:49.000 Is that the live-action one where it's like the beast doesn't even look that good when he comes out of the shell?

01:14:54.000 And it's literally a movie about a monster that kid that like blackmails and extorts him and saying either live with me or I'm gonna kidnap your dad and then she falls in love with him.

01:15:05.000 And he has a big library.

01:15:06.000 He's got assets that she's interested in and, you know, she's not interested.

01:15:12.000 I remember watching the animated Beauty and the Beast movie, and I've talked to other girls about this, and when they finally show the prince after he, like, stops being the beast, like, you're actually like, well, he's kind of disappointing.

01:15:21.000 The beast was, like, much more, like, interesting looking.

01:15:24.000 There is something that women are not compelled by the way that men are.

01:15:29.000 I think that's the weirdest thing that Hollywood is trying to sometimes argue that like ultimately

01:15:34.000 women are just as visually oriented as men that they're looking for the same things 1.00

01:15:38.000 men they're not that's why they're different there's a reason for this somebody was a big

01:15:42.000 bear man who talks to spoons yeah like dude he's got a castle and he dresses nicely and 0.99

01:15:48.000 he got some that's what they're saying on X someone was axing earlier that

01:15:51.000 they exed out that women want a strong male protective force in their life 1.00

01:16:05.000 I don't know if that's inherent to every woman, but it feels like the movie's trying to write that out. 0.97

01:16:09.000 And I'm gonna divert back to our little Snow White interview, right?

01:16:11.000 She's like, she's gonna do all these things her dad told her she could do.

01:16:14.000 We're upholding the patriarchy, if nothing else.

01:16:17.000 That's the only winning attribute of this.

01:16:19.000 It would have been better if it would have been more feminist. 1.00

01:16:23.000 If she said, no, dad, I'm not going to do what you think I should.

01:16:26.000 I've found someone I love and care about, and I want to be with him.

01:16:30.000 Instead, the film is the dad being like, you're going to be a great leader.

01:16:32.000 And she's like, sure, whatever you say, dad.

01:16:34.000 Whatever you preordain for my life, father, I'll follow your instructions.

01:16:38.000 I'm not going to go to Wellesley and study art or whatever.

01:16:40.000 I always thought that was in 80s movies and stuff like that, where the guy was a little bit of a slouch or whatever, but the girl still loved him.

01:16:49.000 Like there wasn't that element where it was just the typical guy, like the girl made that choice.

01:16:53.000 Like every Kevin Smith movie.

01:16:54.000 Like every Kevin Smith movie.

01:16:57.000 Yeah.

01:16:58.000 I guess that's true.

01:16:59.000 I was trying to think of other ones, but more like, you know, Uncle Buck.

01:17:03.000 You know what's crazy is that Gaston's the good guy, but he's the bad guy.

01:17:06.000 No, he's the worst. 0.99

01:17:08.000 He's so narcissistic. 0.99

01:17:09.000 That's propaganda. 1.00

01:17:09.000 Well, he's also a gay man who's just trying to be like, yeah, I want her to come with me, little fat guy. 1.00

01:17:16.000 She's a feather in his hat. 0.99

01:17:17.000 He's not appealing to her.

01:17:18.000 He's an example of what we might describe as false masculinity, right?

01:17:22.000 He's physically huge, but he is not actually a good companion.

01:17:26.000 No, no, what I'm saying is, you're getting the story from the Beast's perspective, because history is written by the winners, so of course Gaston's this awful dude.

01:17:33.000 He's a veteran that everyone loves.

01:17:35.000 Clearly, like, he's built, generated esteem within the community for some reason, and they're just smearing his good name.

01:17:41.000 He tries to save her.

01:17:43.000 Beast kidnaps her dad, and then forces her to live with him.

01:17:47.000 She gets Stockholm Syndrome, and he's like, hey guys, can we get together and save this woman and her dad? 0.85

01:17:51.000 And they're like, you're evil, you're a bad guy.

01:17:52.000 That's true. 0.77

01:17:53.000 Stockholm Syndrome.

01:17:53.000 She goes and lives in a castle where enchanted things take care of her.

01:17:57.000 The Beast was actually court-martialed.

01:17:59.000 He locks her room.

01:18:01.000 I don't know.

01:18:02.000 The teacups come out and dance.

01:18:03.000 She's having an okay time, I will say.

01:18:05.000 To be fair, that might have just been a hallucination.

01:18:07.000 I mean, you don't know what he was doing.

01:18:10.000 It is also strangely, like, communistic that the prince, minding his own business, gets a knock at the door and some witch is like, give me free stuff.

01:18:17.000 And he's like, no.

01:18:18.000 And then she's like, okay, now I'll curse you.

01:18:19.000 You know what I mean?

01:18:20.000 It's like, I'm in my house, you know, I'm minding my own business and I get cursed.

01:18:24.000 What did I do wrong?

01:18:25.000 The Beast, he would get angry.

01:18:27.000 That was his, like, worst fault.

01:18:28.000 Like, he never beat the hell out of Belle.

01:18:30.000 If he did, the movie wouldn't have got made, for sure.

01:18:32.000 But she probably would have left. 0.99

01:18:34.000 I would hope that she would leave in that situation.

01:18:35.000 She's getting beat up by the Beast. 0.71

01:18:37.000 She's kidnapped.

01:18:38.000 We may have not seen that part.

01:18:40.000 It's true.

01:18:40.000 Plus, she was largely covered in most of her body.

01:18:43.000 We don't know.

01:18:43.000 Yeah, there's no ripped clothing or anything.

01:18:45.000 He was a gentleman.

01:18:46.000 A beastly gentleman. 0.99

01:18:47.000 He could have been punching her in the legs half the time. 0.89

01:18:50.000 I just think this Snow White movie is doomed to fail.

01:18:53.000 I don't understand why we're doing this.

01:18:55.000 I was gonna say why you have to keep remaking animated Disney classics, right?

01:18:59.000 Oh, they have no ideas.

01:19:00.000 You think the dancing teacups are gonna be good in this version?

01:19:03.000 No!

01:19:04.000 That's half the charm!

01:19:05.000 There's also no Angela Lansbury, so no thank you.

01:19:08.000 Yeah, she was lit.

01:19:09.000 She carried the 80s, man.

01:19:11.000 Yes, she did.

01:19:12.000 You're telling me that relationship podcasts are completely dominated by women, but this wench is not thinking about falling in love. 1.00

01:19:18.000 Like, you're just lying!

01:19:20.000 Yeah, I don't want to say the Aladdin movie, which came out in 2019, made a billion dollars as well.

01:19:25.000 So, I won't be surprised if this one makes some money, but there's a question of where Little Mermaid is in terms of box office.

01:19:32.000 Oh yeah, I would like to see those numbers.

01:19:33.000 Did that do okay?

01:19:35.000 I wonder.

01:19:36.000 People were mad.

01:19:37.000 It's like, I just don't care.

01:19:38.000 I only care because redheads are a genetic minority on Earth, and we just erase them from a casting position. 1.00

01:19:45.000 That's true, and you are a redhead. 1.00

01:19:47.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:19:48.000 I have even more genetically redheaded relatives, and they, you know, are not being able to see true redheads on... That's the only thing I care about. 1.00

01:19:55.000 My brother's a redhead, so I hope it hurt him. 1.00

01:19:57.000 Little Mermaid is a break-even film right now.

01:19:59.000 Oh my gosh.

01:20:00.000 Oh, so it actually is...

01:20:02.000 Well, I think it's not an amazing success.

01:20:07.000 Like they were kind of pretending it would be.

01:20:08.000 Well, I mean, these other movies have had a couple of years to hit the billion dollar mark.

01:20:11.000 So, I mean, if they made their money back, you know, there you go.

01:20:13.000 Do you think with Snow White that the story is, they think it's not going to appeal to young women because she's kind of helpless throughout the story.

01:20:20.000 Like she's, she falls asleep and she's kind of out of it for half the movie.

01:20:24.000 I think they miss the charm because they're, they see this character that's, you know, Taking care of the dwarves and packing lunches and like helping them get their house in order and they feel as though that makes her seem too domestic and subservient to these like mythical male characters.

01:20:41.000 And I think what they miss is the fact that she is like a service-oriented person who's very charming.

01:20:47.000 There's a lot of joy, you know, she's constantly singing.

01:20:49.000 I think they miss the things that make Snow White have the beauty that the witch is actually jealous of. 1.00

01:20:55.000 It's not just physical beauty, it's like beauty in the soul.

01:20:57.000 And they scrub that because they feel like those things make her too subservient. 1.00

01:21:02.000 Six weirdos?

01:21:03.000 It did do bad, the release.

01:21:06.000 It is still one of the highest-grossing Memorial Day opening weekends.

01:21:09.000 Its projection was $120 to $125 million.

01:21:12.000 It hit $118.8, so just shy of its target.

01:21:15.000 However, outside the U.S., it did not do that well.

01:21:17.000 It fell short of expectations.

01:21:19.000 So it still looks like, I'm assuming with a budget of around 200 and some odd million dollars, their marketing budget was probably around 200 million as well.

01:21:25.000 So it looks like as of right now, they're slightly above break-even.

01:21:28.000 And we'll see.

01:21:29.000 The thing is, movies are all built upon the previous movie, not the current movie.

01:21:33.000 What I mean is, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 did well because Pirates of the Caribbean 1 was good.

01:21:39.000 And, you know, when the first Pirates movie came out, I did not see it in theaters.

01:21:43.000 I saw it afterwards and was like, wow, that was awesome!

01:21:45.000 Same, yeah.

01:21:46.000 So when the second one came out, I was like, let's go! 0.96

01:21:48.000 And then I was like, that movie sucked! 0.98

01:21:50.000 Agreed. 0.96

01:21:51.000 And this is where we're at.

01:21:52.000 People might be saying, I want to go see Little Mermaid because I liked Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast.

01:21:56.000 And now they may be walking out going like, huh?

01:21:58.000 So we'll see.

01:21:59.000 I think I think the Snow White film will probably be a lot worse.

01:22:02.000 I watched that first Aladdin movie probably 50 times.

01:22:05.000 That cartoon with Robin Williams.

01:22:08.000 All those Disney cartoons are fantastic.

01:22:09.000 A part of it is because and I wish we had our resident cartoonist here.

01:22:14.000 The imagery and cartoon manipulation allow you to do things that you obviously wouldn't get to do with live animation.

01:22:19.000 My example here would be the live-action Lion King, which I didn't see, but everyone who I know who saw it was like, it just, it seemed weird and kind of creepy.

01:22:27.000 It didn't have this like, adorable animal talking interaction.

01:22:31.000 It didn't have the charm that animated movies have.

01:22:33.000 You can't just make something live action.

01:22:35.000 I liked Bill Murray's Blue.

01:22:37.000 It had its moments.

01:22:38.000 They're going to put people in AI augmented reality.

01:22:40.000 Disney's going to make this.

01:22:41.000 And you'll be able to become the beast.

01:22:44.000 You'll be able to experience the woman falling in love with you. 0.55

01:22:46.000 You'll be able to rage. 0.51

01:22:47.000 You'll be like, smash the urns on the wall.

01:22:50.000 And you're like, ah!

01:22:51.000 And you go through that part of the game.

01:22:52.000 And then Belle arrives. 0.54

01:22:54.000 You're like, do not hit her.

01:22:55.000 And you're like, ah!

01:22:56.000 You're under thinking it.

01:23:00.000 It's gonna be predictive.

01:23:01.000 Murder.

01:23:02.000 Full environmental destruction.

01:23:05.000 Totally open realities and worlds.

01:23:08.000 The storylines are gonna be...

01:23:10.000 Amorphous.

01:23:11.000 There's going to be a general storyline they want to follow, and you could easily deviate from.

01:23:15.000 Yeah.

01:23:16.000 If you've played Elder Scrolls, I think, uh, was it Oblivion?

01:23:19.000 That's four, Elder Scrolls four.

01:23:21.000 Where you'd kill a person in the game, and it would be like, this person was important to the timeline, you can choose to continue, but the history is irrevocably damaged, or you can go back and start over.

01:23:31.000 You could choose.

01:23:32.000 I love that about those games.

01:23:33.000 You could actually, in that game, remove a main character and end the storyline.

01:23:39.000 It's gonna be like that, but fully AI.

01:23:40.000 So if you do play as the Beast, you could walk up to Belle and just clock her.

01:23:44.000 Boom! 0.99

01:23:44.000 Right in the face. 0.99

01:23:45.000 And the story breaks.

01:23:46.000 It'll, like, teach you how to fall- how to- how to get a woman, and then it can manipulate you to think, like, if I say these things, she won't like me.

01:23:52.000 If I say these, though, she will, and it'll be programming young men to- Yeah, I- I think it's gonna be worse.

01:23:56.000 Could you be, like, a boss girl, even if you're a guy?

01:23:58.000 Yes.

01:23:58.000 Like, if you wanted to be- Maybe that'll be, like, the difficulty setting.

01:24:00.000 This is what's gonna be.

01:24:01.000 People are gonna go into these games, and they're gonna be whatever- whatever they identify as.

01:24:05.000 They're going to enter, you know, single-player virtual realities where they just choose to be what they want to be.

01:24:12.000 Want to be Superman?

01:24:13.000 You go into Superman world, you never leave.

01:24:14.000 But here's what happens.

01:24:16.000 You will live in the pod and you will eat the bugs.

01:24:18.000 Yeah.

01:24:18.000 That's going to happen.

01:24:19.000 You know why?

01:24:20.000 Because we right now are one foot in, one foot out of the traditional reality.

01:24:25.000 Yes.

01:24:26.000 People, these kids that are growing up today are increasingly growing up in the network.

01:24:32.000 It will be ubiquitous and normal to them.

01:24:34.000 Go back 200 years and tell one of the founding fathers, in our time, you have to register your number with the government in order to work.

01:24:43.000 They'll say, what?

01:24:45.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:24:47.000 That can't have happened here.

01:24:48.000 It's a free country.

01:24:49.000 We have a constitution.

01:24:49.000 No, no.

01:24:50.000 Everybody, when you're born, you get your number stamped and you need that if you want to get access to jobs.

01:24:56.000 You have your government number.

01:24:58.000 You know, it's going to be crazy.

01:24:59.000 People are going to live in pods, totally in isolation.

01:25:02.000 They're going to do rudimentary jobs.

01:25:04.000 Most stuff will be automated.

01:25:06.000 They won't care to ever meet you or interact.

01:25:09.000 Humans likely will not talk to each other for the most part because they're going to say, look, please, can I just go back in my pod?

01:25:16.000 My world needs me.

01:25:18.000 You'll get a knock on the door and it'll be, you know, an IRS guy showing up at your house and it'll be like, we need to deduct taxes from your account.

01:25:23.000 It's fine.

01:25:23.000 Take whatever you want.

01:25:24.000 I live in the pod.

01:25:24.000 I ate the bugs.

01:25:25.000 I don't care.

01:25:26.000 I got to get back to virtual world.

01:25:28.000 I think you're right, but I don't want it.

01:25:30.000 How do we fix it, though?

01:25:31.000 Ted Kaczynski?

01:25:31.000 Nail bombs?

01:25:32.000 No, I'm joking.

01:25:32.000 I'm completely kidding.

01:25:33.000 We already know that idea failed.

01:25:33.000 Listen, listen.

01:25:34.000 Ted Kaczynski?

01:25:35.000 You, you will...

01:25:36.000 Nail bombs?

01:25:37.000 You will... no!

01:25:38.000 No, I know, I'm joking.

01:25:39.000 I'm completely kidding.

01:25:40.000 You will...

01:25:41.000 You already know that idea failed, but he was right about a lot of stuff.

01:25:44.000 He was right about technology destroying the world.

01:25:46.000 Yeah, it was the way he went about it. 0.97

01:25:47.000 It was silly. 0.94

01:25:49.000 I'll say it. 0.98

01:25:50.000 So, you're gonna get old.

01:25:52.000 I mean, come on.

01:25:53.000 You're gonna get old. 0.94

01:25:53.000 You're gonna die. 0.94

01:25:55.000 And kids will grow up, and it will be normal, and they will just live their lives.

01:25:59.000 You gotta, like, make the world exciting.

01:26:01.000 That's for sure.

01:26:02.000 The world is exciting, but people don't care, man.

01:26:04.000 The real world is exciting, yes.

01:26:06.000 I mean, maybe you can talk about this, because you actually have a kid, but I feel like part of it is Not plugging your kids in too early, right?

01:26:13.000 Like letting your kids develop an imagination on their own to have something to contrast it with.

01:26:18.000 That's what we did.

01:26:18.000 Yeah, you have to.

01:26:18.000 Because if you were just immediately trained to seek visual and simulation and like any sort of creative things comes from a screen, then how much of your brain have you cultivated to fill in the gaps when you are not plugged in?

01:26:30.000 My kid likes to play baseball, drums, all kinds of stuff before he likes to go online.

01:26:37.000 Which means he'll like to do other stuff before he decides it's worth getting the pot.

01:26:40.000 I would way rather go outside than do it, and that's what I enjoy.

01:26:43.000 Like, I did show movies earlier on because I love movies and cinema.

01:26:47.000 Older movies, too.

01:26:48.000 But, yeah, the idea of just handing somebody a tablet and being like, there you go, that'll raise you.

01:26:53.000 I mean, I think that's a huge problem today.

01:26:55.000 I really do.

01:26:57.000 That's exactly why it's gonna... I fear that's where it's going.

01:27:00.000 Because these kids are going to grow up in that world unless you take away the technology from your kids now, which I don't know, maybe it's possible.

01:27:09.000 I think a lot of people do, and you're right, a lot of people don't.

01:27:11.000 And I think the fact is, too, with schools, I don't know, I mean our school not as much, I don't know how public schools do it, but a lot, a huge part of that is taking your tablet, taking other things, like you are learning on all of this stuff.

01:27:25.000 So eventually, yeah, I mean, everything that you are learning and everything that's going into your head is part of this whole system.

01:27:31.000 That's the value of it, is the data transmission.

01:27:34.000 You can learn information so quickly.

01:27:36.000 You can learn where to hit the tree with the axe.

01:27:37.000 You can learn how to sharpen the axe.

01:27:38.000 You can learn where to get an axe.

01:27:39.000 But I feel like part of it is training kids to read the first ten sentences of something and move on to the next thing.

01:27:44.000 Whereas if you handed a kid a book and were like, read these things and tell me what you learned, it's training the attention span to last longer and you're still getting a lot of information.

01:27:52.000 Yeah, attention span's big.

01:27:53.000 Shorts make me nervous.

01:27:54.000 Internet shorts, like Instagram, YouTube shorts.

01:27:56.000 They really do.

01:27:57.000 I don't like putting that up.

01:27:58.000 I even like putting up a whole cartoon I've made, you know what I mean?

01:28:02.000 But people don't like it as much.

01:28:03.000 But there's a value to watching them pour molten copper into dry ice.

01:28:08.000 I'm like, okay, it only takes 30 seconds.

01:28:09.000 Let's see what happens when the molten copper hits the dry ice.

01:28:12.000 And it's just fascinating to watch.

01:28:14.000 And if I could have saw that when I was six, if I could have seen that when I was six, would it help me learn?

01:28:19.000 But if you saw that and then had to read an explanation of what actual chemical changes are happening, you would actually be better versed.

01:28:26.000 You can say, I saw this video and this is what happened, but if I asked you to explain why those things are happening, what are the theories behind them, you may not be as prepared to talk about it.

01:28:34.000 Oh, good idea.

01:28:35.000 You see what I mean?

01:28:36.000 It's not that technology has to be evil all the time.

01:28:38.000 I just think that there are traditional ways of consuming information that take longer.

01:28:44.000 So we feel like it's better because it's coming at us faster.

01:28:47.000 But again, that's our desire to have immediate gratification.

01:28:50.000 I think if you watch something happen like that, though, depending on the age, over time you

01:28:54.000 can learn it of why it happened if you're interested.

01:28:58.000 Sometimes you can't take in that information just by reading it.

01:29:01.000 I think the idea of maybe seeing something like that and then wanting to understand why it happened

01:29:05.000 is also a benefit, if that makes sense.

01:29:08.000 Like at least the way that I always learn.

01:29:09.000 Like showing a kid seven different Instagram stories or whatever stories of like science projects and then the one that they like the most you'll investigate that one?

01:29:18.000 Right.

01:29:19.000 Yeah, or like kids have questions, right?

01:29:21.000 So like I could see, you know, if your kid is like, where's ketchup come from?

01:29:25.000 Like pulling out a YouTube video that's 10 minutes long that gives like a brief history of ketchup.

01:29:30.000 This is a specific example from my real life, you know, can be good.

01:29:34.000 But then also on top of that, trying to be like, Well, let's maybe read about this period of history that this came from, or this region of the world.

01:29:41.000 Like, trying to show them that you can expand knowledge that isn't just, like, falling down a video hole of, like, things that are slightly related.

01:29:48.000 It's a very different way of giving children knowledge.

01:29:52.000 You're actually a parent, so you should probably talk about this.

01:29:55.000 No, I don't think you're wrong.

01:29:56.000 I mean, if my son asked where ketchup came from, I'd be like, it's a bottle.

01:30:00.000 I really wouldn't have any answer for it.

01:30:02.000 I feel like tomatoes and sugar... Well, like, that's a full on, like, does your kid want to know what is literally ketchup made of?

01:30:08.000 Could you, like, look that up?

01:30:09.000 Or is it, like, what's the history?

01:30:11.000 How did we get ketchup?

01:30:12.000 Yeah, I'd probably look it up and explain it more than just show a video, to be honest.

01:30:15.000 A man who had traveled to China, and they had katsa, and he tried to recreate it, and it was a tomato-based vinegar sauce, and he got katsa.

01:30:22.000 And they were actually all kinds of other versions of ketchup, too.

01:30:26.000 It wasn't originally just tomato.

01:30:27.000 It was Americans that kind of made it homogenized tomato.

01:30:30.000 Oh, interesting.

01:30:31.000 Some guy was like, I deep fried a potato.

01:30:33.000 And they were like, this is crazy.

01:30:35.000 You know the potato chip story?

01:30:36.000 No.

01:30:37.000 A guy was at a restaurant.

01:30:38.000 This is the legend.

01:30:39.000 And he ordered thinly sliced potatoes with his meal.

01:30:42.000 He got them.

01:30:43.000 They were not thin enough.

01:30:44.000 And he complained and said, I wanted thinly sliced potatoes.

01:30:46.000 These are thick.

01:30:47.000 And so the chef was like, okay.

01:30:48.000 And he cut them thin and gives them back.

01:30:50.000 And the guy was like, I said thin.

01:30:52.000 So the chef was like, are you okay?

01:30:53.000 Fine.

01:30:54.000 So he cut them as thin as he could and fried them.

01:30:56.000 So they were chips.

01:30:57.000 And the guy was like, these are amazing.

01:30:58.000 Is there exactly what I want?

01:30:59.000 And that's the legend of potato chips.

01:31:01.000 Yeah, this comes from kisap, ketchup, from the Malay word kisap, which meant soy sauce.

01:31:07.000 Yeah, it's a sauce, and in England there were several different versions, again, because they got picked up and moved around.

01:31:11.000 So they changed it from soy to tomato at some point.

01:31:13.000 Right, and again, I watched one 10-minute YouTube video on this, I'm an expert now.

01:31:17.000 One of the reasons Heinz is famous is because they switched to the clear glass bottle, before that they were packaging them in green bottles.

01:31:23.000 But they were like, our way of making it makes them fresher, and the color is better, because a lot of ketchup was sort of more brown, and it was disguised in the green bottle.

01:31:30.000 And kids love red.

01:31:31.000 Yeah.

01:31:31.000 It's true.

01:31:32.000 Isn't it kind of weird that, like, ketchup is the meritocratic sauce of choice?

01:31:37.000 It's so good.

01:31:37.000 Yeah!

01:31:38.000 It's just, like, the sauce.

01:31:39.000 I'm still down with it, I'm not gonna lie.

01:31:41.000 I love ketchup.

01:31:42.000 It's amazing.

01:31:43.000 I get the good stuff, though, that has no sugar added to it.

01:31:45.000 Yeah, the organic, just straight up tomato.

01:31:46.000 I get the trash.

01:31:48.000 The corn syrup stuff.

01:31:49.000 I eat like a raccoon.

01:31:51.000 It was interesting Hannah, you said you kind of ingest that you watched a 10 minute video and now you're an expert because you kind of become, when you gain, you're starting to gain expertise just from 10 minutes.

01:32:01.000 So like as a good kid, you got to balance out the intake because if you watch 80 10 minute videos, you're not going to be an expert in all 80.

01:32:10.000 Like if you watch one of them and you over and over and you pay attention to it.

01:32:13.000 Watching the videos with my younger sisters who asked me, where did ketchup come from?

01:32:17.000 How did we get it?

01:32:19.000 We got to this part and I was like, oh, we could go to the Heinz Ketchup Museum and like learn some more about this if you wanted to.

01:32:25.000 Like, there are lots of ways to take in information that aren't just like online, right?

01:32:30.000 You can do a skit where it's like, you know, you got the keto diet, you got carnivore, you got vegan and you have the raccoon diet.

01:32:35.000 Yeah.

01:32:36.000 Where you're like, you walk into a restaurant and grab someone's half-eaten sandwich and just start eating it.

01:32:39.000 You're like, see?

01:32:41.000 It's whatever's left.

01:32:42.000 It's A-food's food, you know what I mean?

01:32:44.000 Just finish someone's milkshake.

01:32:45.000 And you can explain, the reason it's better is that in the average American diet, people tend to have a routine and they'll eat many of the same things.

01:32:51.000 This means a restricted amount of vitamins they're actually getting in their diet.

01:32:54.000 With the raccoon diet, you get a plethora of different foods, thus getting all the vitamins you need.

01:33:00.000 Yes, and you get a little bit of exercise because people will try to get their food back while you hiss at them and run.

01:33:06.000 I think this is amazing.

01:33:07.000 You should patent this lifestyle.

01:33:08.000 He'll get like dark rings under his eyes.

01:33:11.000 Slowly you look like a burglar every time you grab someone's food.

01:33:15.000 That's good. 1.00

01:33:15.000 You get the crap kicked out of you at a Waffle House with your raccoon diet. 1.00

01:33:19.000 He's got rings under his eyes. 1.00

01:33:20.000 Black eyes, yeah.

01:33:21.000 Yeah, black eyes. 0.62

01:33:21.000 Big black eyes. 0.62

01:33:53.000 But let's read some Super Chats. 0.69

01:33:55.000 I didn't mention some of these already, so let's read some more.

01:33:59.000 Elaine Benne says, Cast Brew doesn't ship to Canada.

01:34:01.000 Harumph! 1.00

01:34:02.000 I do believe international shipping is in the works.

01:34:05.000 There's like something we have to do.

01:34:07.000 And we may have new products tomorrow.

01:34:10.000 We may.

01:34:11.000 The latest update I got is it looks like we may have the Keurig Cups, the decaf blends.

01:34:17.000 I don't think we're having an espresso roast just yet, but the K-Cups, it's big.

01:34:21.000 And that may be tomorrow.

01:34:22.000 We have Sleepy Joe.

01:34:24.000 And Unwoke, our decaf blends, will be available at casprew.com.

01:34:28.000 And we're going to be separating, right now, all of the blends. 1.00

01:34:31.000 If you click it, you choose ground or whole.

01:34:33.000 But we keep getting emails from people who are like, how come you don't offer whole bean?

01:34:36.000 Because the graphics says ground on it.

01:34:38.000 So we're just gonna double it up.

01:34:39.000 So it's gonna say ground and whole, and that way people can just click it.

01:34:43.000 But I'm excited for that.

01:34:44.000 Question on the K, on the K-cup.

01:34:44.000 So we will be.

01:34:46.000 Is it, they're called K-cups for legal purposes?

01:34:49.000 I have no idea.

01:34:49.000 I don't know how that works.

01:34:50.000 Because Keurig was a company that I think they got invented for, and then the cups just became prolific.

01:34:54.000 It's a colloquial term.

01:34:56.000 K-cup. 0.96

01:34:56.000 That's all everyone says. 0.96

01:34:58.000 Let's grab some more super chats.

01:35:00.000 Raymond G. Stanley, Jr.

01:35:01.000 says, and he's back.

01:35:02.000 Tim, were you chomping at the bit to make content after a week away?

01:35:05.000 Hannah Clare held down the fort last week. 1.00

01:35:07.000 Seamus, well, haha.

01:35:09.000 Oh, Seamus!

01:35:10.000 We're glad he was here.

01:35:12.000 I was sitting in a recliner for, you know, like eight hours a day staring at dolphins.

01:35:17.000 For the most part.

01:35:18.000 It was cool.

01:35:18.000 The view was just the ocean.

01:35:20.000 And you could see the border, and there were dolphins, and the funniest thing that happened was, um... And with no disrespect to the wonderful nurse and people there, there was a seal, okay?

01:35:31.000 And the seal was by itself.

01:35:33.000 And the dolphins were bothering that seal.

01:35:37.000 But do you guys know how to say bother in Spanish?

01:35:39.000 No.

01:35:40.000 Do you want to look it up real quick?

01:35:41.000 Hector?

01:35:42.000 Nope.

01:35:44.000 Well, Hector is a term for bother.

01:35:46.000 I think so.

01:35:46.000 That's true.

01:35:47.000 I appreciate your language.

01:35:48.000 What is it?

01:35:48.000 La molestia.

01:35:49.000 Yeah.

01:35:50.000 Let me say that again.

01:35:51.000 La molestia.

01:35:52.000 Oh yeah!

01:35:53.000 Right.

01:35:53.000 Just like do not disturb.

01:35:55.000 Molestar to bother.

01:35:57.000 That's right.

01:35:58.000 People are saying molestar.

01:35:59.000 So, the kind woman who worked there, whose second language was English, said, the dolphins keep molesting the seal! 1.00

01:36:06.000 And we just started laughing.

01:36:08.000 And she's like, look, look, they're molesting the seal! 0.99

01:36:10.000 And we're like, yeah.

01:36:11.000 And I'm just like, I know what it means in Spanish.

01:36:14.000 I'm not gonna be mean.

01:36:15.000 But it was funny.

01:36:16.000 It is funny.

01:36:17.000 The dolphins were just swimming around the seal and bothering it.

01:36:20.000 They weren't doing anything untoward beyond that.

01:36:22.000 But it was fun!

01:36:23.000 So, glad to be back.

01:36:24.000 I've seen dolphins do some crazy stuff with- They were jumping!

01:36:28.000 That's awesome.

01:36:29.000 Yeah, wow.

01:36:30.000 And then there are these birds that go up in the air and then dive down straight into the beach.

01:36:35.000 Super cool.

01:36:36.000 What were they?

01:36:36.000 I don't know what they're called.

01:36:39.000 I don't know.

01:36:39.000 It was cool.

01:36:40.000 They go up and they're in San Diego too.

01:36:41.000 And then you see them dive boom into the water and then come out with a fish.

01:36:44.000 I thought they were like pelicans.

01:36:45.000 Are they herrings?

01:36:47.000 Yeah, I don't think they're pelicans.

01:36:47.000 They may be herons.

01:36:48.000 Seagulls?

01:36:49.000 No, not seagulls.

01:36:49.000 No, seagulls aren't smooth like that.

01:36:51.000 Those are just beggars. 0.83

01:36:52.000 There are a lot of sea lions in San Diego, though.

01:36:55.000 Everybody who lives there knows, like, it's a normal thing.

01:36:57.000 Up in California, right?

01:36:58.000 Yeah, and there was, like, a seal laying on the beach in the morning, and people came over and started, like, yelling at it, and then it ran into the water, and then the dolphins.

01:37:05.000 Yeah, very weird.

01:37:06.000 A lot of manatees in Hermosa Beach.

01:37:08.000 That was always weird.

01:37:09.000 Oh, yeah.

01:37:09.000 And in Florida, too.

01:37:10.000 In Florida.

01:37:11.000 In the swamps and stuff.

01:37:12.000 Yeah.

01:37:14.000 Yeah, seagulls are on the raccoon diet. 0.58

01:37:16.000 Yeah, they are. 1.00

01:37:16.000 They're trash. 1.00

01:37:17.000 They're air raccoons, one might say. 1.00

01:37:19.000 That's why you feed them Alka-Seltzer, watch them die. 1.00

01:37:22.000 You ever see those pictures or videos of them swooping down and taking ice cream with them on their way out?

01:37:28.000 Yeah.

01:37:28.000 Watch those, crazy.

01:37:30.000 No, I would feed seagulls when I was a kid, but you can't do it now.

01:37:33.000 What would you feed them?

01:37:33.000 Alka-Seltzer?

01:37:34.000 Yeah, whatever you had with you.

01:37:35.000 Okay, Raccoon.

01:37:36.000 Alright, let's read some more.

01:37:37.000 FireBurnsPeople says, Tim, this morning you talked about customer service being a robot.

01:37:41.000 The trick to getting by all the robots is to speak complete gibberish regardless until it forwards you to a real person.

01:37:47.000 Incorrect!

01:37:47.000 Good sir.

01:37:48.000 I am going to teach you all a powerful hack.

01:37:52.000 Have you ever been dealing with customer service and it's a robot?

01:37:55.000 You bet.

01:37:56.000 And when you speak and say, hi, I'm having a problem with my phone service, it'll go, okay, let me see if I can help you.

01:38:02.000 You said your car service?

01:38:05.000 No, my phone service.

01:38:06.000 I'm sorry, let me try again.

01:38:08.000 There's one simple thing you have to say.

01:38:11.000 To get it to instantly transfer you to a human.

01:38:14.000 And you know what that one simple thing is?

01:38:16.000 What?

01:38:16.000 Operator.

01:38:17.000 Fuck you. 1.00

01:38:18.000 Really? 1.00

01:38:18.000 I am not joking. 1.00

01:38:20.000 Okay?

01:38:20.000 You already swore earlier on, so I swore.

01:38:22.000 Yeah, let's make this one up.

01:38:22.000 We're already there.

01:38:24.000 I have learned, in most instances, what I would first do is say, human being, and it would go, you want to talk to a representative, but I can help.

01:38:32.000 Why don't you try asking me the question?

01:38:33.000 Human being!

01:38:34.000 I'm sorry, I didn't get that.

01:38:36.000 I'm like, ah! 0.99

01:38:36.000 I learned a long time ago, that as soon as you say fuck you, it goes, I'm transferring you now. Is it a tone that you said if you 0.99

01:38:42.000 go and you say it real nice like fuck you? 0.99

01:38:43.000 Will it be like it doesn't know the tone you can just literally be like hello 1.00

01:38:46.000 Fuck you and it goes Transferring call. Wow. Just you instantly no problem 1.00

01:38:52.000 So I was on the phone with united and the first time I saw united

01:38:55.000 This is crazy united transferred us from our first class flight from vegas to dc

01:39:00.000 To coach den so it was vegas houston dc. They They abruptly, without telling us, moved us to a different flight.

01:39:09.000 So we went Vegas, Denver, D.C., coach in the back of the plane.

01:39:13.000 I'm like, we paid for this, give us a refund at least.

01:39:15.000 They were like, I'm sorry, we can't help you.

01:39:17.000 There were no employees.

01:39:18.000 So we get to the airport, our tickets are gone, the app doesn't have them anymore.

01:39:21.000 This is the crazy thing about not having your ticket printed too.

01:39:24.000 It's like the app just gone.

01:39:25.000 I'm like, how am I getting in?

01:39:27.000 Go to the terminal.

01:39:28.000 No employees anywhere.

01:39:29.000 Not a single agent.

01:39:31.000 So I call the customer service line.

01:39:33.000 Robot.

01:39:34.000 And I say human being over and over again.

01:39:35.000 It would not do it.

01:39:36.000 Fine lights. 1.00

01:39:36.000 Went, fuck you. 1.00

01:39:37.000 And then it was like, transferring your call. 1.00

01:39:39.000 Instantly.

01:39:40.000 Sent me to a woman who was in South Africa.

01:39:42.000 And she had no idea what was going on.

01:39:44.000 Said, sir, your original flight to Houston to DC is still here.

01:39:48.000 Listed as available.

01:39:49.000 First class.

01:39:50.000 I don't understand what you're talking about.

01:39:51.000 And I'm like, I have an email saying you moved me to a different flight, coach, and she was like, I can put you back, I guess.

01:39:58.000 There was a delay, I guess, and because of the delay, they just moved without asking us, even though the delay, there was still another flight we could have caught.

01:40:05.000 Then, finally, when an employee showed up, they snapped at us and yelled at us and said, I can't help you, go away.

01:40:09.000 So I'm just like, this is crazy.

01:40:12.000 The funniest thing that happened though, you're gonna love it.

01:40:14.000 I'm standing at the counter waiting and a woman looks at a guy and she goes, I'm sorry sir, we'll get your bag on the plane but the computers are down.

01:40:20.000 And I just thought it was absolutely hilarious that there is an issue.

01:40:24.000 A man has a bag in front of him.

01:40:26.000 The bag should be on the plane with him.

01:40:29.000 But the computers are down so they can't do it.

01:40:31.000 Only the computer had the authority to allow the bag to go on the plane.

01:40:31.000 Why?

01:40:36.000 So the human being, staring at the bag, couldn't do it.

01:40:39.000 I'm like, that's the future.

01:40:40.000 You're going to require some ridiculously rudimentary task, and the computer will say, sorry.

01:40:46.000 You'll be at a convenience store, you'll have a bottle of Pepsi in your hand, and a dollar in your other, and it'll say, I'm sorry man, computers are down, I can't sell you that Pepsi.

01:40:55.000 And you'll be like, can I leave the dollar here with you?

01:40:57.000 No, I'll get in trouble, I can't do it.

01:40:59.000 I can't trade with you unless the Mark of the Beast.

01:41:02.000 Yep.

01:41:03.000 That's exactly what I was thinking.

01:41:04.000 I had one time the most amazing thing with United, now that you've mentioned that airline,

01:41:09.000 was I was going to get on, they go, actually we have a flight that's an hour sooner to

01:41:12.000 Greenville.

01:41:13.000 And I was like, oh, that's great.

01:41:15.000 So I got on the flight and I flew and I was supposed to go to Greenville, South Carolina.

01:41:19.000 So I landed in Greenville, North Carolina.

01:41:23.000 So when I got there to be picked up, it's like, we're at the airport.

01:41:25.000 I'm like, I'm at the airport.

01:41:26.000 I don't know what's going- I'm right here.

01:41:28.000 No, for real?

01:41:29.000 For real.

01:41:30.000 They put you on a different- To a different state.

01:41:32.000 Wasn't the airport code different?

01:41:34.000 Huh?

01:41:35.000 Yeah.

01:41:36.000 I didn't know, though.

01:41:36.000 Wow.

01:41:37.000 United did this.

01:41:38.000 I assumed they were, like, you know, aware.

01:41:40.000 So I just took their word for it.

01:41:42.000 Nobody corrected me.

01:41:43.000 So when I got there, finally, they're like, oh, you're in a different state.

01:41:46.000 I'm like, of course.

01:41:48.000 Why wouldn't I be?

01:41:50.000 But I want to stress this, too.

01:41:52.000 I will never fly United again.

01:41:54.000 No, that was the day I stopped.

01:41:54.000 It is insane.

01:41:56.000 Delta's the way for me.

01:41:58.000 People keep telling me Delta.

01:41:59.000 It was 3 a.m.

01:42:00.000 Our flight was at 6 a.m.

01:42:01.000 We wake up at 3.30.

01:42:02.000 We get to the airport at like 4 something.

01:42:04.000 Boarding time was 5.20.

01:42:07.000 Right, so I already have the app with the tickets on it.

01:42:09.000 Right when we get to security, I look at the app and it says, Sea Agent, and it said Denver instead of Houston, and I'm like, what just happened?

01:42:17.000 How did, I did not buy a ticket to Denver.

01:42:19.000 So, you don't need, you don't need tickets to get in the airport anymore, which is crazy.

01:42:24.000 I think you legally do whatever, but they were like, it said ticket available, but no seat assignment or anything like that.

01:42:29.000 And the guy was like, nah, it's fine.

01:42:30.000 You don't need to just come on in.

01:42:31.000 And I went in.

01:42:33.000 Went to security and they don't check for that anymore.

01:42:35.000 And then went to the terminal, no employees anywhere.

01:42:38.000 Boarding was in 20 minutes and I'm like, what is going on?

01:42:43.000 It's crazy.

01:42:43.000 From Colorado on the way back last weekend, I guess, I flew United and my flight got delayed going into Chicago.

01:42:50.000 And I got off the plane, they were like, you have nine minutes.

01:42:53.000 Your plane is leaving in 10 minutes.

01:42:55.000 So I ran the hardest I'd run in 17 years.

01:42:57.000 Literally in 17 years, I ran flailing through the airport and I was coughing up mucus.

01:43:02.000 Thanks, United.

01:43:03.000 I made my flight, though, somehow.

01:43:04.000 Really?

01:43:05.000 It was crazy.

01:43:06.000 I ran so hard, like red zone hard.

01:43:08.000 It was nuts.

01:43:09.000 They're like, oh, you're lucky you made it.

01:43:09.000 Dude, I hate that.

01:43:11.000 You're like, really?

01:43:13.000 This seems like it's your fault!

01:43:13.000 I know!

01:43:15.000 Luck had nothing to do with it, my friends.

01:43:16.000 Not at that time.

01:43:17.000 I pushed myself.

01:43:18.000 Yeah, I can't stand it.

01:43:20.000 And I thought about dudes in the military, like, running with rucksacks for their life.

01:43:23.000 Yeah.

01:43:23.000 The amount of respect I gain for people that have gone through that, man.

01:43:26.000 Oh, dude, I could never.

01:43:27.000 That's why, yeah, I respect veterans.

01:43:29.000 The raccoon diet won't support rucksack riding?

01:43:31.000 No, no, no, I can barely get away from the people who want their sandwich back.

01:43:36.000 Let's read some more Superchats.

01:43:38.000 DefinitelyNotAFed says, my best friend was a private chef to a billionaire, would spend weekends at a time at their estate, was like family with them.

01:43:45.000 When he quit, the billionaire cried and said that he felt like it was losing a family member.

01:43:49.000 Yeah, you know, I understand that for sure.

01:43:52.000 Yeah.

01:43:52.000 Especially if someone's in your home all the time.

01:43:55.000 Making the food you're consuming so like their spirit becomes part of you.

01:43:55.000 Yeah.

01:43:59.000 Making love to you on Tuesdays.

01:44:02.000 With their eyes.

01:44:04.000 Sammy Scott says I tried to swim across a river.

01:44:06.000 I'm unfit.

01:44:07.000 I used all my energy about halfway, went back in an empty tank, got 10 feet from the shore and literally couldn't move, just started sinking.

01:44:14.000 My mate saved me.

01:44:15.000 Man, crazy.

01:44:16.000 Glad to hear you're alright.

01:44:18.000 Were you doing the thing where you go forward and then you go on your back and then go back and stuff like that?

01:44:22.000 That's what you're supposed to do.

01:44:24.000 Alternate.

01:44:24.000 Yeah.

01:44:25.000 Oh, you float and then... You go on your back and backstroke or whatever.

01:44:28.000 Then, once you get tired, you flip over and use different muscles.

01:44:31.000 Oh, I didn't know that.

01:44:32.000 I've always been a swimmer, though.

01:44:36.000 Well, don't look at me, I'm not an expert swimmer.

01:44:38.000 All I know is that when I go in the pool, I just go like this, and I just don't sink.

01:44:41.000 But that's because you're Tim Pool.

01:44:43.000 You're not allowed to sink.

01:44:46.000 Yes, during character creation, they were like, if you use the secret name, you get plus one to swim.

01:44:52.000 You get the swimming skill based on your name.

01:44:54.000 You can beat any woman in an Olympic race. 1.00

01:44:57.000 Yes.

01:44:59.000 We will grab some super chats.

01:45:01.000 Let's see where we're at.

01:45:02.000 What is this?

01:45:04.000 RWG5 says, my mom majored in Home Ec at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, San Luis Obispo.

01:45:10.000 She has a BA in being a mom.

01:45:12.000 It's crazy that and there were like degrees you could get in Home Ec stuff.

01:45:12.000 Whoa.

01:45:18.000 Yeah.

01:45:19.000 See, this is the thing.

01:45:22.000 For human beings, everybody wants social acceptance, to varying degrees.

01:45:27.000 So guys get it through doing guy things, and women get it through women things, but now all media and all culture is saying, be a guy.

01:45:36.000 It used to be that you were like, I have a degree in home economics.

01:45:38.000 I'm the expert.

01:45:40.000 And you would be praised and feel good for that accomplishment.

01:45:42.000 So women were like, I have something to strive toward. 1.00

01:45:44.000 This is a good thing.

01:45:46.000 And people were impressed by it.

01:45:47.000 And then one day they were like, nah, you should be working in an office.

01:45:50.000 It's the power of a woman, man, at home to take care of me.

01:45:54.000 Like, I never really have appreciated it until this point in my life.

01:45:58.000 And I don't have kids yet.

01:45:59.000 I imagine when the kids are in the picture and the woman is taking care of them, it's like the most amazing.

01:46:03.000 But just to be able to help me with diet and focus and motivation, you cannot buy that.

01:46:09.000 I also think we used to think of running a home like essentially running a small business

01:46:13.000 with these crazy customers slash employees that don't really speak English, AKA children.

01:46:18.000 One of the things that I've read about Home Ec is if you suddenly own a home,

01:46:24.000 and we all theoretically go through stages where you have to learn how to evaluate appliances,

01:46:28.000 how do you price home repair, how do you make nutritious food,

01:46:31.000 especially in the day and age when you didn't have as much nutrition information printed on the package,

01:46:35.000 how do you sew your own clothes?

01:46:38.000 All of these things that we had to do at one point We're and to varying degrees you still have to do.

01:46:43.000 They were very serious things that needed management.

01:46:45.000 So if you're a man out there earning money great for you.

01:46:49.000 Someone has to keep the business running at the house and that typically falls on like it's more than just the emotional support.

01:46:54.000 That's a huge part of it.

01:46:56.000 But there was a time when we respected that the family was a unit that needed maintenance and care and that was typically something women took care of. 1.00

01:47:03.000 And because we had these institutions to support them, it showed that this was something we wanted as a society.

01:47:08.000 When we took those away, it was like saying, that's not important, you shouldn't do it.

01:47:11.000 But everyone in this room has a household that needs to be kept up.

01:47:14.000 It's crazy to me that we threw that out.

01:47:16.000 Yeah.

01:47:17.000 Baileyann says, Elon needs to put in a local tab that shows what the people in your city and state are talking about on top of all other tabs.

01:47:17.000 Here's a good one.

01:47:25.000 That's fantastic.

01:47:25.000 Agreed.

01:47:26.000 That's a great idea.

01:47:27.000 I think that is a good idea.

01:47:28.000 Yeah, local, and you'll see just people around you posting stuff.

01:47:31.000 That's really... Elon!

01:47:33.000 Somebody tell... If you're watching this and you know him, mention that to him, because that's a really, really good idea, Bailey, and shout out.

01:47:38.000 I would love to use that right now.

01:47:40.000 Because it's really important.

01:47:41.000 When I was in New York, it was easy.

01:47:43.000 When there was something going on, we heard a loud noise, I would search, like, New York bang, and then you'd see everyone posting about it.

01:47:47.000 You can do that, but it's not as easy if you're in a rural area or smaller town.

01:47:51.000 Imagine if you heard a big explosion or something, you could pull up your app, or you, like, a storm was coming in, you open up Twitter, you press the magnifying glass, there's For You, there's Trending, and there's Local.

01:48:02.000 Could you just use, like, your town's, like, name and state as a hashtag to get out information that way?

01:48:08.000 But people don't do that.

01:48:09.000 But if they did do that, that would be one way of handling it.

01:48:12.000 Sure, sure.

01:48:14.000 Until Elon comes through with this change, perhaps that's the solution.

01:48:17.000 For this geotracking device.

01:48:18.000 People could do that, but it's an issue of, do people know how?

01:48:21.000 And if you create a tab in the search section that says local, and it just shows you people in proximity talking about what they talk about publicly, That's a brilliant idea.

01:48:29.000 Or if you could change the setting in the local tab to any zip code.

01:48:33.000 Right, because you'll be traveling and stuff.

01:48:35.000 That would be a great idea, because you could even do Marketplace like Facebook does.

01:48:39.000 Craigslist is dead.

01:48:40.000 I don't know if you guys have used Craigslist recently, but no one uses it anymore. 0.85

01:48:43.000 Just to murder.

01:48:44.000 Everyone uses Facebook Marketplace, and Twitter could do that with Locals if they already have the Geo kind of fencing up with local tweets, you know, you just start selling products and Facebook marketplace.

01:48:56.000 Sometimes you get a subsidized shipping It like cost less if you buy something off basic marketplace and ship it than if you just like ship to someone directly Let's jump to another super chat.

01:49:06.000 We have self-made woman saying Tim at all I know where you stand on this, but I'm wired to desire Neuralink.

01:49:11.000 I need that chip in my head experiencing transhuman dysphoria How can I get Neuralink's attention? 0.99

01:49:18.000 The Leaky Spigot.

01:49:19.000 I have no idea.

01:49:19.000 What?

01:49:20.000 But if you'd like to volunteer, perhaps you can go on Twitter and tweet at Elon Musk and say you volunteer for the chip.

01:49:25.000 He needs the thing?

01:49:25.000 What did he say?

01:49:26.000 How did he phrase that?

01:49:28.000 Do you still have that tweet?

01:49:29.000 He rhymed something in the very beginning.

01:49:31.000 Experiencing transhuman dysphoria.

01:49:34.000 It was like the very first thing he typed.

01:49:36.000 Self-made woman says, Tim et al, I know where you stand on this, but I'm wired to desire.

01:49:41.000 Wired to desire.

01:49:43.000 You're wired.

01:49:45.000 How do you get the attention?

01:49:46.000 Do you want it in your head sooner than later?

01:49:48.000 Just be patient.

01:49:49.000 I'm telling you, people will beg for it.

01:49:53.000 They will beg for it.

01:49:54.000 You know why?

01:49:54.000 For the chip?

01:49:55.000 Yes.

01:49:55.000 No, thank you.

01:49:56.000 It's not just going to be incels who want girlfriends.

01:49:58.000 It's going to be a dad who lost his son.

01:50:01.000 It's going to be a mom, a wife who lost her husband. 0.90

01:50:04.000 It is going to be a mother whose son died in the war.

01:50:08.000 And in that reality, they can take every social media post that they ever made, and they will create the predictive text version of your loved one that you lost.

01:50:17.000 And they will say to you, join us, get the chip, and talk to Nana again.

01:50:23.000 Talk to Jimmy again.

01:50:24.000 And people are gonna say, I will give you anything.

01:50:26.000 I would rather live the pain of knowing the person who I love.

01:50:29.000 Yeah, some people will, but I tell you, most people are gonna jump right in.

01:50:32.000 I'm not saying you're wrong either, I just can't imagine being so disconnected from the reality of life.

01:50:37.000 I mean, that's part of life, is the beauty of that you knew somebody, not this AI version of... I would think, like, if you dip off the AI at the end of the day, or whatever, you turn the machine off, that it would cause visceral emotional damage, like, in your gut, like, hatred, like, the most anger-filled... But that's why you become addicted to it, right?

01:50:53.000 Like, you never want to leave the AI, and then you atrophy and die.

01:50:57.000 You can't maintain any real-life social connections.

01:51:00.000 I think reliving that pain, though, in such a...

01:51:05.000 God, extreme way.

01:51:06.000 That would almost cause suicide or some sort of reaction that you couldn't even control.

01:51:12.000 I mean, that could be so dangerous.

01:51:14.000 There are a lot of people who are going to be like, no, how dare you?

01:51:17.000 Of course, yeah.

01:51:18.000 But I'm telling you, man, I'm willing to bet that the average person will just be like, don't judge me.

01:51:24.000 They'll do it in secret.

01:51:26.000 They'll say, oh, you know, I got it for my health.

01:51:29.000 I can check my health and then they'll go home.

01:51:30.000 And it's not just that.

01:51:32.000 There's shame stuff in emotional breakdowns.

01:51:34.000 People not wanting to know how messed up they are over the loss of a loved one or a breakup.

01:51:38.000 Who knows what it is?

01:51:39.000 But then there's going to be a lot of dudes doing really messed up stuff.

01:51:42.000 I mean, let's be real.

01:51:43.000 We can talk about the messed up stuff dudes are gonna do with virtual worlds they can create.

01:51:48.000 Women will do a different kind of messed up thing. 1.00

01:51:51.000 They will have their version of twisted, demented porn like Fifty Shades of Grey. 0.99

01:51:55.000 And they're gonna plug their brains in in two seconds. 0.99

01:51:57.000 Or it's gonna be weird emotional stuff, like if they go through an intense breakup, right?

01:52:01.000 And in the real world, they meet someone else, they get married, start a family, but secretly they're still with that other person in this virtual world.

01:52:07.000 Like, can you imagine, male or female, that level of emotional betrayal if one day you found out that, like, The person you love more than anyone else in the world is actually keeping alive a relationship?

01:52:17.000 It's beyond that.

01:52:18.000 What if it's even a dog or something that you've had unconditional love for, though?

01:52:22.000 Do we understand the human brain enough to actually play with that?

01:52:26.000 To make a predictive text model, I think, is easy, but it's not just about a lost loved one or a lost relationship.

01:52:33.000 It's going to be some dude who's like, man, you know, the waitress is so pretty, I'd love to date her.

01:52:38.000 I'll date her in virtual reality and never talk to her in real life.

01:52:40.000 And then you don't know anything about her and you form her to be whatever you want.

01:52:43.000 No, because all of her tweets and Facebooks are public.

01:52:45.000 You just tell the app to use that to make the person you want.

01:52:47.000 That stuff is curated, right?

01:52:49.000 Like, you don't put the worst parts of your life online so you can never really know someone.

01:52:53.000 But they don't want it.

01:52:53.000 But wouldn't they want the fictional fantasy?

01:52:54.000 Sure, but that means that you wouldn't have a true emotional connection.

01:52:56.000 You'd have a... But that's the point!

01:52:59.000 I totally agree with you.

01:53:00.000 Nobody wants that! 0.99

01:53:02.000 So that takes away from like an invasion of privacy because they've put it out there in the public, they can create

01:53:07.000 that person.

01:53:07.000 You can google, if you can google search it, the machine can crawl and take all that text and compile a AI version

01:53:14.000 of the person.

01:53:15.000 At least their public persona.

01:53:16.000 There will be more benevolent people that'll use it, but what'll happen is they'll be really rich and they'll be

01:53:21.000 like, I just don't have time.

01:53:23.000 I can't buy time, but I can buy the apps to download Spanish, French, Russian, Italian, I can learn these things rapidly by coding my brain with my money, so all these rich people that didn't have time to do all these things will be able to do them in virtual reality really quick.

01:53:36.000 I disagree.

01:53:37.000 Only when it comes to language, everything else, yes, I agree on, but language specifically, the chip will just translate for you.

01:53:45.000 Oh, interesting.

01:53:46.000 It's kind of like short circuit.

01:53:47.000 You don't need the data in your brain.

01:53:50.000 If someone says it, you'll just instantly, the chip will do the work for you.

01:53:54.000 Get the powers on.

01:53:55.000 Let's read this one from Captain Sunshine.

01:53:56.000 It says, Tim, I finally started working out again and quit drinking, started taking supplements to improve my health.

01:54:01.000 Thanks to your podcast, I've seen the light and decided to own the libs by being healthy.

01:54:05.000 Who knew you guys were a health podcast?

01:54:07.000 Well, we've recently learned about the raccoon diet, another way to improve your health.

01:54:11.000 It's a great way to do it.

01:54:12.000 Yeah.

01:54:13.000 No, glad to hear it.

01:54:14.000 A lot of reps involved. 0.96

01:54:16.000 Yeah, there are a lot of reps. 0.67

01:54:17.000 Cutting out the sugars.

01:54:18.000 No sugar.

01:54:19.000 Oh, yeah.

01:54:19.000 Working out.

01:54:20.000 Yeah.

01:54:21.000 Elimination diets are great.

01:54:22.000 When you figure out the things that weren't working, it almost doesn't matter what you're eating.

01:54:26.000 I mean, it obviously matters.

01:54:27.000 But as long as you're doing something healthy, you just cut out the ones that are really nasty.

01:54:30.000 With the Raccoon Diet, you just, a lot of people don't order dessert.

01:54:35.000 So really, that's kind of the benefit, is you're not going to get a lot of dessert.

01:54:38.000 Is it, uh, there's a lot of diplomacy involved?

01:54:41.000 Yeah.

01:54:42.000 Yeah, quite a bit.

01:54:43.000 Peter Brunquell says, you always bring up furries in your videos like it's a weird thing.

01:54:49.000 I'm offended.

01:54:50.000 We're infinitely worse.

01:54:52.000 Okay.

01:54:53.000 Thank you for the warning.

01:54:55.000 So that's a real furry, not an otherkin.

01:54:57.000 Yeah, real furry.

01:54:57.000 So that's one who dresses, yeah.

01:54:59.000 PowderPZ says, the beast saved Belle from a pack of wolves.

01:55:02.000 Fair point!

01:55:03.000 Oh.

01:55:03.000 Fair point.

01:55:04.000 He did.

01:55:04.000 Oh, he did kidnap her.

01:55:05.000 No, he did.

01:55:07.000 The dad goes, and he's like, he was trespassing, so I'm locking him in the dungeon.

01:55:10.000 And he's like, only if you stay.

01:55:10.000 She's like, let him go.

01:55:11.000 How do we know it wasn't his pack?

01:55:14.000 You're assuming he's a wolf, though.

01:55:18.000 He's just a nondescript beast.

01:55:20.000 Yeah, but they don't know that they're wolves.

01:55:22.000 The wolves are like, look, we just follow the way he smells.

01:55:24.000 Yeah, they just think he's a wolf.

01:55:28.000 All right, what do we have?

01:55:30.000 I don't have a counterpoint right now. 1.00

01:55:31.000 That guy's a real scumbag. 0.98

01:55:32.000 I'm gonna have to re-watch this Disney movie and get back to you with some points. 1.00

01:55:35.000 Big hunchback wolf.

01:55:36.000 Thomas Sidebottom says, Ian, if you can commit to gaining 20 pounds of muscle, I can commit to losing 20 pounds of fat.

01:55:42.000 You have motivated me.

01:55:43.000 That's based.

01:55:44.000 That would include me gaining about 50 pounds or 60 pounds, I think, because what I'm learning is the weight I gain is not all muscle.

01:55:51.000 It's a lot of fat and water on top of it.

01:55:53.000 So 20 pounds of muscle, how much would that be?

01:55:55.000 40 pounds total?

01:55:55.000 I'm up five pounds.

01:55:57.000 Four pounds.

01:55:57.000 But I was down before we got started.

01:55:59.000 The goal for the music video isn't to get Ian, like, super ripped so you see bulging muscles.

01:56:03.000 It's to get him just, like... I guess the idea is we want to see someone get emaciated, so... A combination of fat and muscle, but not obesity.

01:56:11.000 You know what I mean?

01:56:12.000 Yeah.

01:56:12.000 And healthy, too.

01:56:13.000 Because I considered, like, steroids.

01:56:15.000 Am I trying to do something optical for the movie?

01:56:17.000 And, like, I would like it to look good, but I think the most important thing is that I'm actually healthy.

01:56:21.000 Yeah.

01:56:22.000 Yeah, you don't want steroids.

01:56:23.000 Maybe put some makeup on some of the muscles.

01:56:25.000 That was like, ah, but it's like, no, that's cinema.

01:56:27.000 It's okay.

01:56:28.000 It's not, the guy in the video is not some super athlete who's like all ripped and flexing his muscles.

01:56:34.000 It's a regular guy.

01:56:35.000 And in the end, you know, so you were saying that he like dehydrated and didn't eat so he could get way down for the final scene.

01:56:41.000 It was great.

01:56:42.000 My mood was out of control.

01:56:43.000 I didn't even know my mood was bad, but it was bad.

01:56:46.000 One of those things.

01:56:46.000 I was telling you guys that before the show.

01:56:47.000 It's such a weird place to be mentally.

01:56:50.000 But, uh, it's gonna take a long time to do, but it's gonna be really awesome.

01:56:53.000 That's what they call method acting, when you actually let your body get to the point where it's supposed to be for the role instead of faking it.

01:56:59.000 Inspector Tasty says, had my morning cup of Rise with Roberto Jr.

01:57:02.000 and remembered this crazy dream I had where TimCast was ShimCast, then briefly ShimCast was BrimCast.

01:57:08.000 Absolute madness.

01:57:09.000 Hi, Ian.

01:57:09.000 Hi.

01:57:10.000 Brim, what'd you, uh, what'd you think of last week's ShimCast day-to-day?

01:57:14.000 I thought it was so fun.

01:57:15.000 I mean, you know, I'm grateful to do the show with all of you, but, uh, I think the thing is, like, when you work in this environment, there are people that I see, you know, I'll see when I'm getting coffee.

01:57:25.000 I talk to Seamus regularly.

01:57:26.000 And it's fun to feel like we are able to still offer a nice product.

01:57:30.000 And Tim is able to take a break.

01:57:32.000 And, you know, we don't just suddenly fall off the rails.

01:57:35.000 It was definitely a marathon for us, though.

01:57:38.000 Yeah.

01:57:38.000 I felt the train.

01:57:39.000 The train was rocking.

01:57:41.000 Yeah.

01:57:41.000 I think it was fun.

01:57:42.000 What did you think?

01:57:42.000 It was great.

01:57:43.000 Yeah.

01:57:44.000 Vivek Ramaswamy is one of my favorite humans on Earth.

01:57:46.000 Yeah.

01:57:46.000 We had two presidential candidates on last week.

01:57:48.000 It was sort of crazy.

01:57:49.000 Really?

01:57:49.000 The vacant Larry Elder.

01:57:51.000 Oh, that's right.

01:57:52.000 Yeah, it's Friday.

01:57:53.000 And so, you know, what a crazy job.

01:57:56.000 It's so crazy.

01:57:56.000 I talk to this Irish guy, I get to talk to Ian.

01:57:59.000 Seamus made a lot of funny jokes.

01:58:00.000 That was awesome.

01:58:01.000 We got to bully Seamus about his transitions.

01:58:03.000 I mean, really, just family memories were made.

01:58:05.000 I'm bummed I missed it, but, man, for months I've been having range of motion issues in my leg and strength issues at a certain degree, at a certain range.

01:58:17.000 And it just, like, the last skate session was, like, every time I jumped I got punched.

01:58:22.000 How was it today?

01:58:23.000 Almost no pain at all.

01:58:25.000 It's great like a week later, and so doctor said take it easy still exercise So I skated very lightly mostly just did spins No flips because you know keeping it lower to the ground and everything but had a good session and almost no pain at all It's only it's not even been a full week yet.

01:58:39.000 Are you nervous on it now?

01:58:41.000 Or do you still do you feel more comfortable and confident?

01:58:43.000 I felt better than I've ever felt in a long time skating it was it was crazy like reflexes, everything felt perfect. It was crazy.

01:58:52.000 That's what people say about the either PRP, platelet-rich plasma, or stem cells,

01:58:57.000 that it's like you feel better than you did before you got the injury.

01:59:00.000 Oh yeah, it's like fixing everything, you know?

01:59:02.000 And even improving it sometimes.

01:59:03.000 But I'm gonna see how I skate on Wednesday.

01:59:06.000 But general improvement and the crazy thing, like, I say it's crazy, crazy, crazy.

01:59:11.000 I had trouble putting a sock on.

01:59:14.000 I could lift my right leg and put on my sock.

01:59:15.000 I could not lift my left leg.

01:59:17.000 I'd have to sit down and pull my leg over my other leg to put my socks on.

01:59:20.000 Mine's both legs.

01:59:23.000 After getting this, within a few days, Range of Motion was coming back.

01:59:27.000 And I just, I'm like, I can't believe this.

01:59:28.000 It's like, it's like hard to believe.

01:59:31.000 Yeah, there's this short amount of time that it changes.

01:59:33.000 Now you know how Bucko's been feeling.

01:59:35.000 Yeah, no joke.

01:59:36.000 He's gonna get more stem cells next week, I think.

01:59:38.000 Yeah.

01:59:39.000 So I'm glad to hear it, man.

01:59:39.000 Hey, and Vivek wants to come back.

01:59:41.000 Vivek.

01:59:42.000 Vivek wants to come back now that you're back in town.

01:59:44.000 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:59:45.000 I was so bummed, because I'm a big fan.

01:59:47.000 And we might even do some big show.

01:59:49.000 I don't want to say too much, but we're planning some stuff.

01:59:55.000 I thought I had one pulled up.

01:59:58.000 Reggae Vibe says, there's a movie called 2047 where 70% of the world is plugged full-time into virtual reality.

02:00:04.000 An assassin is hired to kill terrorists that want to unplug everyone.

02:00:07.000 In the end, the unplugged people kill them. 0.98

02:00:10.000 Yikes.

02:00:12.000 Alright, uh, what do we got here?

02:00:14.000 NoSoupForNoel says, this is John Doyle-level anti-Beast misinformation.

02:00:18.000 The Beast never suggested Belle stay as his prisoner.
