WEBVTT

00:00:00.010 --> 00:00:02.209
everyone's going to forget about this, and then

00:00:02.209 --> 00:00:05.009
they'll be like, oh, by the way, this is an added

00:00:05.009 --> 00:00:09.029
feature. You get seat warmers for $36, but then

00:00:09.029 --> 00:00:14.029
you also get air conditioning. They unlock the

00:00:14.029 --> 00:00:20.829
Freon, but that's premium plus. Welcome to the

00:00:20.829 --> 00:00:31.190
show, people. Welcome to the show. Eat my shorts.

00:00:33.710 --> 00:00:39.090
So here is to conversation. Tranquility Base

00:00:39.090 --> 00:00:58.990
here. Vehicle has landed. Welcome to the Cash

00:00:58.990 --> 00:01:03.130
Exchange. Welcome. What's up? You know, not much.

00:01:03.310 --> 00:01:08.450
I am actively job hunting, so I'm a little bit

00:01:08.450 --> 00:01:10.430
more prepared aesthetically for this episode

00:01:10.430 --> 00:01:12.790
than I usually am. There's a great market right

00:01:12.790 --> 00:01:16.629
now to be job hunting in. For who? No one's worried

00:01:16.629 --> 00:01:20.670
about anything coming up. I love whatever bubble

00:01:20.670 --> 00:01:23.230
that you're living in. I would like to be a part

00:01:23.230 --> 00:01:25.010
of it. I want to be delusional. That was completely

00:01:25.010 --> 00:01:27.530
sarcasm. Terrible time to be looking for a job.

00:01:27.590 --> 00:01:30.939
I know. Share your secrets with me. Yeah, no,

00:01:31.060 --> 00:01:37.280
it is brutal out there. I mean, well, I always

00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.760
said that the job I'm in now was recession -proof,

00:01:40.859 --> 00:01:45.780
and I wasn't technically proven wrong, but I

00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:50.459
never made the claim that it was pandemic -proof.

00:01:51.819 --> 00:01:55.180
So, but you've already made a run through my

00:01:55.180 --> 00:01:58.099
industry, and I don't think you're a fan. Which

00:01:58.099 --> 00:02:03.819
is fine. Yeah, I liked the industry. I didn't

00:02:03.819 --> 00:02:06.400
like the job that I did in the industry. So I

00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:11.740
did sales for a very brief window. And I think

00:02:11.740 --> 00:02:14.900
that was my realization that I just was not built

00:02:14.900 --> 00:02:17.979
for sales. I thought because a lot of restaurant

00:02:17.979 --> 00:02:20.000
people transition into sales, usually in real

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.180
estate, that it would be a natural progression

00:02:22.180 --> 00:02:25.340
of things. And it drove me up a wall immediately.

00:02:26.659 --> 00:02:32.639
There's no level of good enough. The people that

00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:37.159
you work with on your level are great, if a little

00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:40.819
maybe inauthentic. And the people above you are,

00:02:40.939 --> 00:02:45.439
I think, breathed down on all of the time. And

00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.340
so they breathe down on you. So it's just like

00:02:47.340 --> 00:02:51.300
a very stressful situation when I don't feel

00:02:51.300 --> 00:02:53.280
like it really needs to be. Well, it's not my

00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.120
cup of tea. That's okay. That's okay. I'm pretty

00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.599
good. Not that you asked, but I figured I'd just

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:05.259
say that I have been pretty good as well. I had

00:03:05.259 --> 00:03:09.520
to make a quick trip out. It was fly in, stay

00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:13.039
the day, fly out. Worst experience ever. How

00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.460
did you like Beantown? The wrong Beantown? Yeah,

00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.919
the silver Beantown. Windy City. Windy City.

00:03:19.939 --> 00:03:27.830
Home of Yeezus. The only experience I had with

00:03:27.830 --> 00:03:34.449
Chicago was the airport. Everything I did while

00:03:34.449 --> 00:03:37.270
I was there was 30 minutes outside of Chicago.

00:03:38.909 --> 00:03:45.930
Airport sucks. Okay. One of the worst ones I've

00:03:45.930 --> 00:03:50.090
been to. Everything, it's like, it's got a hub,

00:03:50.169 --> 00:03:55.009
but none of the... None of the actual terminals

00:03:55.009 --> 00:03:58.129
are at the hub. They just all branch out into

00:03:58.129 --> 00:04:01.590
all these tentacles all over the place. One branches

00:04:01.590 --> 00:04:03.750
out and then two tentacles branch off of that.

00:04:04.389 --> 00:04:09.090
Extremely confusing and like a, no joke, like

00:04:09.090 --> 00:04:13.250
a mile long walk to where they're supposed to

00:04:13.250 --> 00:04:16.550
pick you up for Ubers and stuff. Everything is

00:04:16.550 --> 00:04:20.889
either mislabeled or not labeled at all. I had

00:04:20.889 --> 00:04:24.050
to Google how to find my way from the terminal

00:04:24.050 --> 00:04:28.290
to where Uber picks up. Never got to explore

00:04:28.290 --> 00:04:32.550
anything. Sure, yeah. Have you been to Chicago

00:04:32.550 --> 00:04:36.389
before? Have not. So at the airport, I got my

00:04:36.389 --> 00:04:45.329
magnet for the new location. Total poser. I didn't

00:04:45.329 --> 00:04:51.470
get to see Sears Tower or the Bean. Or some pier

00:04:51.470 --> 00:04:55.550
that apparently is big in Chicago with a Ferris

00:04:55.550 --> 00:05:01.629
wheel on it. Yeah. Okay. And then on the way

00:05:01.629 --> 00:05:05.250
back, I tried to get the first flight of the

00:05:05.250 --> 00:05:10.389
morning, which was 8 o 'clock. I didn't check

00:05:10.389 --> 00:05:13.110
anything, so I could just get there whenever.

00:05:14.350 --> 00:05:16.930
Another guy from my work that was also getting

00:05:16.930 --> 00:05:19.790
an early morning flight, he wasn't checking anything

00:05:19.790 --> 00:05:23.790
either, but still wanted to get there at a god

00:05:23.790 --> 00:05:30.230
-awful hour. So we woke up at 4 .30 to get an

00:05:30.230 --> 00:05:36.089
Uber and got to the airport at 5 .30, so two

00:05:36.089 --> 00:05:39.050
and a half hours before our flight. We get in

00:05:39.050 --> 00:05:42.959
line for security. I get a notification, your

00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.759
flight has been delayed to 2 p .m. So an 8 a

00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.980
.m. flight that I'm already there for at 5 .30

00:05:49.980 --> 00:05:53.579
in the morning got pushed to 2 o 'clock. So I

00:05:53.579 --> 00:05:56.540
had a bid adieu. Did you do anything fun at O

00:05:56.540 --> 00:05:58.160
'Hare? No, there's not shit to do in O 'Hare.

00:05:59.139 --> 00:06:04.819
Except eat. Or I guess I could have gone on the

00:06:04.819 --> 00:06:07.939
little kids' playground with the two -foot little

00:06:07.939 --> 00:06:11.060
tight slides and stuff. I could have done that.

00:06:11.300 --> 00:06:14.439
Yeah. I almost asked if you got a Philly cheesesteak,

00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.720
and then as soon as that thought popped in my

00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:20.139
mind, I heard the thing. That's the wrong city.

00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:22.480
Did you get a Chicago -style hot dog? I did not.

00:06:23.860 --> 00:06:27.139
No. I broke my cardinal rule of getting Tex -Mex

00:06:27.139 --> 00:06:31.560
north of Texas. Instantly regretted it. Ew. Why?

00:06:32.019 --> 00:06:38.800
I got a breakfast burrito. Ass. Total ass. Should

00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:40.639
have gone to McDonald's. Didn't get any tacos

00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:42.500
on a corn tortilla? Nope, not this go -around.

00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:47.180
Maybe next time. Anyways, one thing led to another.

00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.480
I'm trying to bounce around to flights. I got

00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.899
put on standby for a flight that left two hours

00:06:54.899 --> 00:06:59.199
after my original flight. They were like, yeah,

00:06:59.259 --> 00:07:02.420
we oversold by 10. So if you're on standby, there's

00:07:02.420 --> 00:07:03.959
no way you're getting on this. But then we also

00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.459
need 10 people on this flight to volunteer to

00:07:06.459 --> 00:07:10.420
not fly. I do not understand how that is legal.

00:07:11.180 --> 00:07:14.100
You have X amount of seats. You sell X amount

00:07:14.100 --> 00:07:16.279
of tickets. That is absolute insanity. It's not

00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.240
rocket science. And then for you to have the

00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:21.360
audacity, knowing that you're overbooked, to

00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:23.379
put these people on standby to give them hope.

00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.629
And then they're like, uh. Yeah, you're going

00:07:26.629 --> 00:07:28.290
to be sitting here. Don't even bother. She said,

00:07:28.389 --> 00:07:31.250
don't even bother coming up to the gate. We're

00:07:31.250 --> 00:07:34.350
not going to have a seat for you. That feels

00:07:34.350 --> 00:07:36.689
deeply Chicago, and I don't know why. I've never

00:07:36.689 --> 00:07:40.670
been to Chicago. It's like, have you ever seen

00:07:40.670 --> 00:07:43.970
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles? The flight where

00:07:43.970 --> 00:07:47.389
they give him a rental car to a car that's not

00:07:47.389 --> 00:07:52.629
there. Then he comes back and drops like 20 F

00:07:52.629 --> 00:07:55.550
-bombs on the lady. And then at the end, she

00:07:55.550 --> 00:07:58.170
just says, you're effed. I mean, anyone with

00:07:58.170 --> 00:08:02.810
travel issues have had that feeling. And that

00:08:02.810 --> 00:08:05.550
one, he was trying to fly into O 'Hare. But he

00:08:05.550 --> 00:08:09.449
couldn't because of weather. Oh, yeah. It's been

00:08:09.449 --> 00:08:11.149
a while since I've seen that movie. Everything

00:08:11.149 --> 00:08:15.529
Chicago. Was that John Hughes? I didn't know

00:08:15.529 --> 00:08:19.149
that. All right. Let's get the ball rolling now

00:08:19.149 --> 00:08:21.529
that I'm done bitching about the airline industry.

00:08:23.180 --> 00:08:30.519
I have your three things for today. Oh, okay.

00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:31.959
What do you got for today? Your three things

00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:40.460
are houses, cars, quiche. One more time. Houses,

00:08:40.580 --> 00:08:48.399
cars, quiche. My first thought was things I'll

00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:50.399
never be able to afford to own. I'm pretty sure

00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.779
I could afford a quiche. I don't know, man. Price

00:08:52.779 --> 00:08:55.159
of eggs? A house and a car. Everyone's complaining

00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.059
about the price of eggs, or they were, until

00:08:57.059 --> 00:08:59.720
they found something else to whine about. That

00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.879
is fair. And then things got better for eggs.

00:09:02.980 --> 00:09:04.799
I didn't feel like I had to take out a second

00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:11.899
mortgage to buy my eggs. I don't think that the

00:09:11.899 --> 00:09:15.399
egg thing was an inflation thing, right? Wasn't

00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:17.480
it like bird flu? So there was just like less

00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.919
eggs available? Yeah. I might be misremembering

00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:25.360
that. I don't know. Yes, it was. And anyone that

00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:28.659
knows supply and demand knows that if the supply

00:09:28.659 --> 00:09:31.379
is down, but the demand's the same, then the

00:09:31.379 --> 00:09:33.879
price has to go up in order to compensate for

00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:36.720
the loss of supply. But people don't want to

00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:41.399
do their homework and would rather just say administration

00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:46.360
bad. On both sides. I think that might be the

00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.899
closest. Before the election, it was. All the

00:09:50.899 --> 00:09:53.240
Republicans saying, can you believe the price

00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:55.919
of eggs? I don't know why the Republicans sound

00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:58.919
like Bernie Sanders. Just Jerry Seinfeld lit

00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:02.379
up. And then it was, oh, I thought Trump was

00:10:02.379 --> 00:10:07.720
going to fix the price of eggs. I mean, to be

00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.500
fair, do we think that he has anything but a

00:10:11.500 --> 00:10:17.779
Lucille Bluth level of connection to the people?

00:10:19.470 --> 00:10:23.529
He gives off the world's strongest, it's a banana,

00:10:23.649 --> 00:10:26.370
Michael, what could have cost $10 energy of anyone

00:10:26.370 --> 00:10:32.129
I've ever seen in my life. Yeah, that's fair.

00:10:33.509 --> 00:10:40.250
Yeah. But, same time, I don't know, I mean, eggs

00:10:40.250 --> 00:10:44.610
are fine now. I don't know how long it takes

00:10:44.610 --> 00:10:51.289
to go from chick to egg laying, but. I think

00:10:51.289 --> 00:10:56.230
we're over that hump. Yeah, I don't know the

00:10:56.230 --> 00:10:58.490
process, and I think I'm okay with that. Anyways.

00:10:59.429 --> 00:11:10.850
Okay, so houses, cars, quiche. They are... Man,

00:11:10.929 --> 00:11:13.029
now I've gotten inflation on the brain. I keep

00:11:13.029 --> 00:11:16.429
thinking that it's a thing that has gotten a

00:11:16.429 --> 00:11:19.379
lot more expensive lately. Completely. I don't

00:11:19.379 --> 00:11:21.139
imagine that's the topic for this episode. Completely

00:11:21.139 --> 00:11:24.600
flying blind. No idea what this episode was about.

00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:29.460
But... I am. I actually don't know what our three

00:11:29.460 --> 00:11:30.799
things connect today. Somehow, in a roundabout

00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:36.879
way, she figured it out. Inflation, or faux inflation,

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:43.860
is a major part of the topic of today's episode.

00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:50.639
And the topic today is... and how completely

00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.840
out of hand they've gotten. All right. I have

00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:59.480
plenty to say on this subject. Let's go. So I

00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:07.220
did the very upsetting task of going through

00:12:07.220 --> 00:12:10.820
and trying to name as many subscriptions that

00:12:10.820 --> 00:12:14.919
I either A, pay for directly, or B, get from

00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:18.409
someone else. I'm not going to say which one

00:12:18.409 --> 00:12:21.649
is which. So, feds, you can get out of here.

00:12:23.049 --> 00:12:27.070
Disney Plus with your, oh, update my household

00:12:27.070 --> 00:12:29.789
or I'm traveling. Oh, you're out of traveling

00:12:29.789 --> 00:12:33.070
voucher things. Get out of here with that. Anyways,

00:12:33.289 --> 00:12:38.370
so I have Peacock, Paramount, HBO Max, YouTube

00:12:38.370 --> 00:12:42.659
Premium, Netflix, Apple TV, Disney Plus. Prime

00:12:42.659 --> 00:12:46.840
Video, MLB Network. I have subscriptions to our

00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:49.919
podcasting stuff. I have subscriptions to AppleCare

00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:54.779
for my phone. I have Apple Music. I have Cloud

00:12:54.779 --> 00:12:57.019
Storage. And those are the ones I could just

00:12:57.019 --> 00:12:59.419
name off the top of my head. I'm sure there are

00:12:59.419 --> 00:13:04.019
many more that are just vampiring all my money.

00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:07.399
What about you? What do you got? I know there's

00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:11.399
a lot of overlap with ours, but... Yeah. So as

00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.539
far as the streaming services go, the only ones

00:13:13.539 --> 00:13:16.679
that you mentioned that I don't have access to

00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:21.679
are the MLB app because that would be an insane

00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.399
purchase for a person who... Yeah, absolutely.

00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:29.419
I did, however, have accidentally subscribed

00:13:29.419 --> 00:13:34.220
to ESPN Plus for a hot minute. I was paying,

00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:37.820
I believe, $8 a month for ESPN Plus alone because

00:13:37.820 --> 00:13:40.799
it was... bundled into my hulu and my disney

00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:44.360
plus uh to which i was already paying 22 a month

00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:47.139
that's how you get the manning cast though and

00:13:47.139 --> 00:13:50.639
i did not i have never once in my life wanted

00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:56.940
to see the manning cast i'm good uh i believe

00:13:56.940 --> 00:14:00.279
you a special guest which manning is it is it

00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.700
cooper i hope it's cooper uh cooper who they

00:14:03.700 --> 00:14:05.620
say could have been the greatest if he hadn't

00:14:05.620 --> 00:14:09.919
gotten hurt uh He has been on it multiple times.

00:14:12.779 --> 00:14:19.700
Okay. And that is quite possibly the extent of

00:14:19.700 --> 00:14:22.059
my sports knowledge is that there is a third

00:14:22.059 --> 00:14:25.500
Manning. Cell 5. There you go. Who's their dad?

00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:31.179
No, I have... I don't know, man. I told you that

00:14:31.179 --> 00:14:33.080
was the end of my sports knowledge. Am I supposed

00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:36.000
to know who... The senior Manning is? One of

00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:38.639
the more famous Saints. Is he Eli Sr.? One of

00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:41.679
the quarterbacks. Payton Sr.? Drew Brees. Archie

00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:44.500
Manning. I don't know. Okay. I know exactly.

00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:47.080
I know about five football players. Okay, now

00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:52.759
you know six. I could. Now I know six. You're

00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:54.879
welcome. And God willing, I will not commit that

00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.100
to memory. I have way too much useless information

00:14:58.100 --> 00:15:02.039
there to fit in sports knowledge. It is my worst

00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:07.960
section of Trivial Pursuit. but I don't have,

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:11.019
I don't have the MLB app. I also don't have Apple

00:15:11.019 --> 00:15:16.379
TV plus, but in addition to that, I have Apple

00:15:16.379 --> 00:15:21.620
storage and Google storage. I have a guitar for

00:15:21.620 --> 00:15:25.299
like ultimate guitar. I think it's like, yes,

00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:27.139
I have a subscription to one of those because

00:15:27.139 --> 00:15:29.139
it also comes with like lessons and things, which

00:15:29.139 --> 00:15:34.299
is really cool. That is done yearly. If we wanted

00:15:34.299 --> 00:15:36.139
to break down the things that I've purchased

00:15:36.139 --> 00:15:39.500
on yearly subscriptions, it would not be fun

00:15:39.500 --> 00:15:42.840
for me. But I know there's a number of them.

00:15:44.340 --> 00:15:47.679
But those are like May problems probably or like

00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:49.980
March problems because those are usually my big

00:15:49.980 --> 00:15:55.700
like spending months. Yeah. I mean, I think the

00:15:55.700 --> 00:16:02.159
best value that I get out of any of these. Streaming

00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.840
services is probably YouTube premium because

00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:09.000
I watch so much YouTube that if I were having

00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:10.879
to click through commercials or wait through

00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:12.600
commercials the whole time, I would hate it.

00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:18.399
So that is the one that I can absolutely justify

00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:24.159
in all this. Sure. I only ever really use my

00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:28.440
Hulu and my YouTube. Other than that, I'm pretty

00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:34.299
sure also. not going to rat myself out and say

00:16:34.299 --> 00:16:38.980
which of these services i am a party to but not

00:16:38.980 --> 00:16:43.379
paying for um all of the other streaming services

00:16:43.379 --> 00:16:46.179
like if i were to get one of those like do you

00:16:46.179 --> 00:16:48.100
want to update your household or add a member

00:16:48.100 --> 00:16:51.259
or whatever like i'm i'm just accepted that i've

00:16:51.259 --> 00:16:54.200
lost that service like i just i don't get to

00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:59.340
watch stranger things or or the handmaid's tale

00:16:59.850 --> 00:17:04.329
What's going to happen with Hulu whenever it

00:17:04.329 --> 00:17:06.849
shutters and it's just fully part of Disney Plus?

00:17:07.630 --> 00:17:10.930
Is it more expensive? So we talked about it briefly.

00:17:11.109 --> 00:17:15.470
Disney Plus? Right now? We talked about it briefly

00:17:15.470 --> 00:17:17.569
on the last one. Honestly, I haven't paid for

00:17:17.569 --> 00:17:21.710
Hulu by itself, I think, ever. So whenever I

00:17:21.710 --> 00:17:23.789
was still a student and had my student ID and

00:17:23.789 --> 00:17:25.789
all of that stuff, I paid for the Hulu Spotify

00:17:25.789 --> 00:17:28.589
bundle, which was only like six bucks for a month.

00:17:29.069 --> 00:17:32.930
No ads on Hulu, no ads on Spotify. It was the

00:17:32.930 --> 00:17:34.650
golden time of streaming for me. When do you

00:17:34.650 --> 00:17:40.589
have to re -verify? And I think I had like two

00:17:40.589 --> 00:17:44.130
years, but I couldn't re -verify. It just, it

00:17:44.130 --> 00:17:47.210
had a certain time limit. So you could only get

00:17:47.210 --> 00:17:49.009
the student subscription thing for two years.

00:17:49.930 --> 00:17:52.329
To be fair, I did lose access to that email.

00:17:52.369 --> 00:17:57.410
So I lost it anyway. But whenever that happened,

00:17:57.509 --> 00:18:02.059
it was, Around the same time as when my... Because

00:18:02.059 --> 00:18:04.160
I bought a year outright of Disney Plus whenever

00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:05.880
it first launched because it was super cheap

00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:09.619
for them prepping for their launch, which was

00:18:09.619 --> 00:18:13.240
because it was not a well -made streaming service

00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:16.279
at first. And it still has lots of problems.

00:18:16.460 --> 00:18:20.619
But I bought it a year outright. And once that

00:18:20.619 --> 00:18:23.299
year elapsed, I ended up just bundling Hulu and

00:18:23.299 --> 00:18:26.119
Disney Plus. So I have no idea how much Hulu

00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:31.329
costs by itself. Well, a little later on, I got

00:18:31.329 --> 00:18:35.549
some price breakdowns for you. I know everyone

00:18:35.549 --> 00:18:38.890
loves listening to those. I don't think I'm going

00:18:38.890 --> 00:18:41.650
to like that. I don't think I'm going to love

00:18:41.650 --> 00:18:43.950
listening to that. I mean, we can go ahead and

00:18:43.950 --> 00:18:48.329
get into it right now. First one I had was one

00:18:48.329 --> 00:18:51.890
of the big things that's been coming out recently,

00:18:52.089 --> 00:18:58.000
which is something that affects me, is... Peacock

00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:04.180
is about to go up in price. We've had Peacock

00:19:04.180 --> 00:19:08.480
pretty much since the beginning because they

00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:10.259
took it off everything else for you to get The

00:19:10.259 --> 00:19:13.420
Office. So you could only get it on Peacock.

00:19:13.420 --> 00:19:14.980
And then you got like the super fan episodes

00:19:14.980 --> 00:19:18.660
and stuff. So like the extended cut, all that

00:19:18.660 --> 00:19:22.039
stuff. And so I was watching The Office on it

00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:24.799
for a while when it first came out. And then

00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:29.380
I kind of just got... Tired of it. But I never

00:19:29.380 --> 00:19:33.299
got rid of it. So I've had it pretty much fully

00:19:33.299 --> 00:19:38.180
since its inception. And it was just announced

00:19:38.180 --> 00:19:45.680
that the premium plus. Not the premium. Because

00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.539
you think premium. So I have a premium subscription

00:19:48.539 --> 00:19:51.700
to whatever. You remember when that used to mean

00:19:51.700 --> 00:19:55.400
something? It wasn't just like. It was a simpler

00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:58.660
time. A better name for the cheapo version. So

00:19:58.660 --> 00:20:03.519
premium now, so that's with ads, is $10 .99.

00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:06.900
You want to know what it started out as? How

00:20:06.900 --> 00:20:11.720
much? When Peacock first debuted, $4 .99. And

00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:19.440
premium plus, which is no ads, is $16 .99. It

00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:21.940
started out when they first dropped Peacock at

00:20:21.940 --> 00:20:28.130
$9 .99. And this is an increase over two years,

00:20:28.269 --> 00:20:31.769
because they increased the price in 2023, too.

00:20:31.990 --> 00:20:36.769
So if you want ad -free, so you can watch that

00:20:36.769 --> 00:20:42.829
stupid, stupid -looking Office remake. The paper?

00:20:42.990 --> 00:20:48.269
Yeah. You have to pay $17 a month for it. Good

00:20:48.269 --> 00:20:52.289
grief. All right. Now the poster child for...

00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:57.099
uh excessive price gouging throughout the years

00:20:57.099 --> 00:21:02.440
netflix all right inception of the streaming

00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:10.460
only service 2011 basic was $7 .99 uh 2013 they

00:21:10.460 --> 00:21:15.039
added the standard definition and then premium

00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:18.000
so you could get like hd stuff so they still

00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:21.619
had the basic $7 .99 standard was $9 .99 Premium,

00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:25.980
$11 .99. Fast forward to 2023, they phased out

00:21:25.980 --> 00:21:29.140
basic because no one wants a basic plan, right?

00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:31.440
We're just going to call it something else, and

00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:36.480
it's going to be the same exact thing. So 2023,

00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:41.619
they phased out the basic. And then 2025, you

00:21:41.619 --> 00:21:48.119
could pay $8 for a god -awful amount of ads during...

00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.589
What is god -awful? What amount are we talking?

00:21:52.750 --> 00:21:57.269
How often? Definitely like two to three, but

00:21:57.269 --> 00:21:59.529
they're like longer ones between every episode

00:21:59.529 --> 00:22:02.730
of anything. And then a regular show, you're

00:22:02.730 --> 00:22:04.950
probably going to get two ad breaks. So it's

00:22:04.950 --> 00:22:08.410
less than what you would have gotten in like

00:22:08.410 --> 00:22:12.069
syndication, like on just like cable or regular

00:22:12.069 --> 00:22:18.390
TV. But you're also paying for this. I mean,

00:22:18.390 --> 00:22:21.380
you did also pay for... syndicated tv okay but

00:22:21.380 --> 00:22:24.000
not not like antenna not like over the air channels

00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:27.079
so like say you're watching how i met your mother

00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:32.180
on cbs you're not paying anything directly into

00:22:32.180 --> 00:22:34.779
that and you're getting these commercials so

00:22:34.779 --> 00:22:36.160
you're not getting as much there but now you're

00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:42.339
paying them to also have commercials now and

00:22:42.339 --> 00:22:45.640
then uh if you wanted it without ads it was a

00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:49.259
full ten dollar jump To standard definition with

00:22:49.259 --> 00:22:53.680
no ads. Wow. And then right now, if you want

00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:58.480
no ads and you want to be able to stream 4K,

00:22:58.539 --> 00:23:03.500
which at this point, like 4K is starting to get

00:23:03.500 --> 00:23:08.279
like phased out and everything's 8K now, or I

00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:11.660
think there's like 5K and then 8K. It's like

00:23:11.660 --> 00:23:12.900
the ultimate goal. They're just going to keep

00:23:12.900 --> 00:23:15.940
moving the goalpost. What the hell is 5K? 5K

00:23:15.940 --> 00:23:23.480
is more for like a lot of action cams have 5K.

00:23:24.019 --> 00:23:27.480
So it's a lot of fast -moving footage is going

00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:31.019
to be shot in 5K. But 8K is the ultimate goal

00:23:31.019 --> 00:23:34.200
where everyone's trying to get to right now.

00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:42.880
But 4K, no ads, $24 .99 a month. Good Lord. So

00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:48.380
$300 a year, right? Is that right? Yeah, that's

00:23:48.380 --> 00:23:50.900
right. Yeah, no, that's $300 a year. That is

00:23:50.900 --> 00:23:56.819
absolute insanity. I will say that I'm kind of

00:23:56.819 --> 00:24:00.640
not necessarily out of touch, but it is before

00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:04.279
my time because I was, whenever I became an adult,

00:24:04.420 --> 00:24:06.180
it was just streaming services. There was no

00:24:06.180 --> 00:24:08.799
such thing as, there was technically such a thing

00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:11.680
as cable. My first apartment came with, spectrum

00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:16.420
cable boxes that i did not have a port for my

00:24:16.420 --> 00:24:18.779
first apartment was an absolute nightmare they

00:24:18.779 --> 00:24:20.819
gave me a cable box that sat in my closet until

00:24:20.819 --> 00:24:24.099
i moved because there wasn't even a leaked a

00:24:24.099 --> 00:24:27.339
jack yes it rained in my living room for a solid

00:24:27.339 --> 00:24:31.839
month it was very fun and my apartment complex

00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:35.339
ghosted me just like my therapist i think i might

00:24:35.339 --> 00:24:37.380
have a pattern that i need to explore with a

00:24:37.380 --> 00:24:43.690
therapist who sticks around But, yeah, no, so

00:24:43.690 --> 00:24:49.809
I don't really have a great concept of what cable

00:24:49.809 --> 00:24:53.289
would cost because I never had to pay for my

00:24:53.289 --> 00:24:58.609
own, like, DVR and things. I mean, I had it when

00:24:58.609 --> 00:25:04.930
I first moved out. We had the AT &T cable. I

00:25:04.930 --> 00:25:06.910
think it was called the U -verse or something.

00:25:06.990 --> 00:25:09.579
I don't know. I don't even know if it still exists.

00:25:09.779 --> 00:25:18.720
Yeah. But that was one, maybe $100, $120 maybe.

00:25:18.859 --> 00:25:24.519
And that was, I don't know, 12, 13 years ago.

00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:29.559
Maybe 14 years ago at this point. Okay. But no,

00:25:29.619 --> 00:25:35.799
definitely much cheaper than if you were to take

00:25:35.799 --> 00:25:40.259
all these on. On your own. We've talked about

00:25:40.259 --> 00:25:42.759
it before. That I think what all of this is shaping

00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:50.240
up to be. Especially with the. Like the. Disintegration.

00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:53.079
For lack of a better term. Of Hulu come 2026.

00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:56.039
I think that this is all just leading up to them.

00:25:56.339 --> 00:25:58.819
Reinventing cable. And I'm pretty sick of it.

00:25:58.900 --> 00:26:01.160
I mean we're already getting that. With the.

00:26:01.779 --> 00:26:07.690
Okay well you can get. Disney Plus. Or you can

00:26:07.690 --> 00:26:11.990
also get Hulu bundled in and ESPN bundled in

00:26:11.990 --> 00:26:15.849
for one great price. Yeah. Which is like $30

00:26:15.849 --> 00:26:18.589
a month with ads. You can also get it with like

00:26:18.589 --> 00:26:23.309
Showtime and Starz and all that jazz. I think

00:26:23.309 --> 00:26:28.309
it's really interesting to look at where like

00:26:28.309 --> 00:26:30.990
Gen Z and Gen Alpha are putting their kind of

00:26:30.990 --> 00:26:33.380
buying power. Because a lot of the conversation

00:26:33.380 --> 00:26:38.539
more recently has turned into more like slightly

00:26:38.539 --> 00:26:42.440
nostalgic or like a little bit older of technology.

00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:44.799
So a lot of people are leaning towards like flip

00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:49.539
phones, a hole that I fell into, or they're leaning.

00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:52.559
Apparently there's a push for people to get like

00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:54.880
landlines again, which I think is fascinating.

00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:57.799
I don't know that I would want to go that far

00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:03.099
necessarily. Landmines. Oh. We're going to war,

00:27:03.099 --> 00:27:09.259
guys. That makes sense. Protect yourself. To

00:27:09.259 --> 00:27:15.059
be fair, if we do move back to landlines being

00:27:15.059 --> 00:27:18.880
a part of the conversation again, I would like

00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:22.140
to formally request a lava lamp phone for my

00:27:22.140 --> 00:27:25.079
next holiday. Christmas, birthday, something.

00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:27.940
I would like a lava lamp phone. Please and thank

00:27:27.940 --> 00:27:32.450
you. I mean, you're in a building that was built

00:27:32.450 --> 00:27:36.269
within the last five years, right? So there's

00:27:36.269 --> 00:27:41.049
no way that there are systems in place for landlines.

00:27:41.650 --> 00:27:49.069
It would have to be like a web -based phone in

00:27:49.069 --> 00:27:53.809
your house. Like the MagicJack? So even that,

00:27:53.869 --> 00:27:57.329
even the MagicJack needed a phone line. Yeah,

00:27:57.329 --> 00:28:00.640
it just split. I mean, I guess that makes sense

00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:03.059
because it was plugged into a computer that was

00:28:03.059 --> 00:28:04.920
plugged into that. And then it also put it through

00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:08.140
to a phone. Oh. So you don't even have the infrastructure

00:28:08.140 --> 00:28:14.099
to have a landline. I mean, I might. There's

00:28:14.099 --> 00:28:17.759
no way. I have not checked because I have not

00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:19.920
considered it. The only landline that would be

00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:24.980
at your apartment is either in the office or

00:28:24.980 --> 00:28:28.589
it's at the pool. Where you can call them, you

00:28:28.589 --> 00:28:30.890
can call the police if someone is actively drowning.

00:28:31.910 --> 00:28:33.809
Only landlines in your building, I guarantee

00:28:33.809 --> 00:28:39.250
it. And the elevators. Is that a landline? Yeah,

00:28:39.250 --> 00:28:44.150
because you can't leave with it. Yeah. I mean,

00:28:44.230 --> 00:28:47.369
technically, yeah. I would think so. Who's going

00:28:47.369 --> 00:28:50.170
to build the infrastructure? That's what's wrong

00:28:50.170 --> 00:28:53.670
with this upcoming generation. They don't think

00:28:53.670 --> 00:28:55.619
about these things. They think everything just

00:28:55.619 --> 00:28:58.259
appears. Please, enlighten me. Oh, there's just

00:28:58.259 --> 00:29:02.680
landlines everywhere. It's dumb. Kids are dumb.

00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:06.000
I'm sorry, how old are you? I'm old enough to

00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:11.059
know better. You know what? After this episode

00:29:11.059 --> 00:29:13.359
is over, once we've wrapped and the recording

00:29:13.359 --> 00:29:17.019
stops, I am going to look around my apartment

00:29:17.019 --> 00:29:20.039
because I am confident that I have something.

00:29:20.700 --> 00:29:22.559
To plug in a landline. I am confident that you

00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:25.980
will find an Ethernet port, if anything, that

00:29:25.980 --> 00:29:34.440
is not a landline line. Is an Ethernet port not

00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:36.619
a... See, this is what I mean. This is what I

00:29:36.619 --> 00:29:45.079
mean. No, they're not the same thing. Wait. I

00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:49.079
don't know what a landline thing looks like then.

00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:51.740
But... I'm still going to look around my apartment

00:29:51.740 --> 00:29:54.519
because I'm still curious. We'll see. I will

00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:57.319
report back in the next episode. And you're going

00:29:57.319 --> 00:29:58.960
to have to explain to me. I have a 20 plus year

00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:02.839
old house and I think I probably have a landline

00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:06.839
jack in every room in this house. I was going

00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:12.319
to say, point to the credit of Gen Z and Gen

00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:15.839
Alpha wanting landlines. Most people cannot afford

00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:19.539
to be in new places. If I wanted to own a house,

00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:21.819
Not a chance. I'm getting a newly built one.

00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:26.380
Yeah. If I wanted an apartment and didn't want

00:30:26.380 --> 00:30:30.660
to be house poor, I would not be in a newly built

00:30:30.660 --> 00:30:32.400
apartment complex. Is your cat licking its paw

00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:39.240
right now or its sphincter? His paw. What part

00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:42.740
of that bend looks like his butthole? Before

00:30:42.740 --> 00:30:47.079
it did. He had that leg stretched way up in the

00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:53.019
air. Oh, then yeah, that was probably a different

00:30:53.019 --> 00:31:00.240
story. Let's just adjust this. We're just window

00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:04.759
shopping right now for houses. And boy, oh boy,

00:31:04.900 --> 00:31:08.220
are people trying to sell. I mean, there's houses

00:31:08.220 --> 00:31:13.940
all over the place. $5 ,000 price drop. $15 ,000

00:31:13.940 --> 00:31:19.160
price drop. $30 ,000 price drop. So. If you kids

00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:22.920
have the means and you just have to have your

00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:24.920
precious landlines, now's the time to get them.

00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:31.160
Yeah, now's the time to buy, guys. If you can

00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:34.819
afford a house. It's a shame that I didn't just

00:31:34.819 --> 00:31:36.720
have all this money saved up when I was busy

00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:39.740
feeding my Nintendogs that I definitely abandoned

00:31:39.740 --> 00:31:44.420
one of those one day. Well, you're living your

00:31:44.420 --> 00:31:49.240
own. I'm sorry, Zeus. I guess they didn't because

00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:51.799
they should have learned not to trust you to

00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:57.119
keep them alive. But, oh well. Alright, Disney

00:31:57.119 --> 00:32:01.900
Plus. Were you excited for Disney Plus when it

00:32:01.900 --> 00:32:04.640
first came out? When it was first announced?

00:32:05.099 --> 00:32:07.440
Was it something like, you're like, oh, I'm definitely

00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:12.940
going to get this? Not really, no. Uh, mostly

00:32:12.940 --> 00:32:15.400
because the only thing that was on it that I

00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:17.680
cared to watch was the Simpsons. And while I

00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:20.079
was really excited to have access to the Simpsons

00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:24.079
again, Hulu had FX at the time. And so they had

00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:26.220
access to the every Simpsons ever. And honestly,

00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:29.720
that was enough. Like there wasn't a good enough

00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:33.039
poll because I didn't watch Disney movies regularly

00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:35.700
enough for that to make sense. Were they still

00:32:35.700 --> 00:32:43.759
edited on FX or were they, Was that just a thing

00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:45.880
that happened after they got put on Disney Plus?

00:32:47.660 --> 00:32:51.539
Like the aspect ratios? Some of them, yeah. I

00:32:51.539 --> 00:32:54.319
mean, all of them got the aspect ratio, and I

00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:56.000
think that's something that they went in and

00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:59.460
you could change it back, right? Can you do that

00:32:59.460 --> 00:33:03.559
on Disney? Oh, okay. I think people raised enough

00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:05.519
of a stink because there was a lot of visual

00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:08.400
gags that you were missing out because they changed

00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:13.440
the aspect ratio. Yeah. But no, there's like

00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:18.940
jokes that got taken out because of Disney+.

00:33:18.940 --> 00:33:23.420
I don't remember what they were. But yeah, I

00:33:23.420 --> 00:33:25.240
mean, I don't remember hearing about it on FX,

00:33:25.339 --> 00:33:29.099
but they probably did. I don't know. I don't

00:33:29.099 --> 00:33:35.339
think there's anything in Disney +, or The Simpsons,

00:33:35.339 --> 00:33:39.559
that is going to warrant heavy redaction. Unlike

00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:42.279
probably something like Family Guy or... south

00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:49.640
park but this was a conversation that nate and

00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:52.480
i had recently about the merger with hulu and

00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:59.400
disney and i don't like the idea of something

00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:03.059
that is more where their brand identity is more

00:34:03.059 --> 00:34:07.920
family friendly taking over hulu because i think

00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:12.699
that if you've watched the newer like family

00:34:12.699 --> 00:34:17.619
guy you can tell that it's been deeply watered

00:34:17.619 --> 00:34:20.699
down from what it used to be and a lot of that

00:34:20.699 --> 00:34:22.780
you will always credit to there have been changes

00:34:22.780 --> 00:34:25.000
in writers like i don't think seth mcfarland

00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:29.059
does anything outside of the voice work now but

00:34:29.059 --> 00:34:32.079
so much of the the content of the episodes is

00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:35.579
just really really tame compared to what they

00:34:35.579 --> 00:34:39.300
used to do because they They made their name

00:34:39.300 --> 00:34:43.980
off of being shocking, pretty offensive. Yeah.

00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:47.679
And now it's just, it's, it's a little bit bland.

00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:51.519
And I think that's kind of what we have to expect

00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:54.260
moving forward. Cause like the, there were a

00:34:54.260 --> 00:34:56.099
couple of things with family guys specifically

00:34:56.099 --> 00:34:59.000
that like, there's an episode that they've completely

00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:01.199
taken off every streaming service. It's only

00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:07.659
exists on DVD, I believe. Which is. Partial Terms

00:35:07.659 --> 00:35:10.980
of Endearment, an episode about abortion. There's

00:35:10.980 --> 00:35:14.500
also an episode that was debated for a very long

00:35:14.500 --> 00:35:17.800
time that it should have gotten banned, which

00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:24.820
is one in which Peter, the father, the family

00:35:24.820 --> 00:35:32.119
guy, adopts a mentally handicapped horse in this

00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:35.760
episode, which is one of Family Guy's most well

00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:42.269
-known. Peter fills his refrigerator with bottles

00:35:42.269 --> 00:35:46.989
of horse semen. One of those bottles is used

00:35:46.989 --> 00:35:55.550
as milk for their baby's cereal. He takes a real

00:35:55.550 --> 00:36:02.989
shine to it. Controversial, yes. It's not a fun

00:36:02.989 --> 00:36:05.630
scene to watch necessarily, but it's just...

00:36:06.539 --> 00:36:08.900
what the show is supposed to be. It's all shock

00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:12.239
humor. And now it is none. There was also one

00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:14.960
on the chopping block that was called Turban

00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:19.179
Cowboy. That one is still streamable. But in

00:36:19.179 --> 00:36:22.059
that one, I think the reason that it was actually

00:36:22.059 --> 00:36:25.219
controversial enough to have like, or the actual

00:36:25.219 --> 00:36:30.260
part of it that got censored out was shortly

00:36:30.260 --> 00:36:33.780
after the Boston Marathon bombing. This episode

00:36:33.780 --> 00:36:36.500
came out, and in this episode, one of the cutaways

00:36:36.500 --> 00:36:41.320
is Peter winning the Boston Marathon. How did

00:36:41.320 --> 00:36:43.780
he win the Boston Marathon? He drove through

00:36:43.780 --> 00:36:47.980
it. And so the cutaway is him on ESPN talking

00:36:47.980 --> 00:36:51.460
about how he won, and he says, well, you know,

00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:54.599
I just saw people in front of me, drove right

00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:57.219
through them. Did not land well. I don't imagine

00:36:57.219 --> 00:37:01.699
that. Given, uh... given the timing so they did

00:37:01.699 --> 00:37:04.059
censor that out i think it's been put back now

00:37:04.059 --> 00:37:06.659
but there was a while where it wasn't available

00:37:06.659 --> 00:37:11.219
on the the streaming uh version of the episode

00:37:11.219 --> 00:37:14.780
yeah and then there's a handful of uh the south

00:37:14.780 --> 00:37:18.440
park episodes that are nowhere to be found unless

00:37:18.440 --> 00:37:24.199
you have an illegal copy of them uh on paramount

00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:26.800
because i don't think you can even get the episodes

00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:34.400
on hbo anymore Yeah. No. They were. Were they

00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:36.079
ever on HBO? I didn't think they were. I would

00:37:36.079 --> 00:37:39.139
watch them because I had the ad -free HBO. Have

00:37:39.139 --> 00:37:41.880
you seen them? So I'd watch all the old ones

00:37:41.880 --> 00:37:44.400
ad -free on HBO, and then you'd have to watch

00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:49.380
the new ones on Paramount. Have I seen them?

00:37:50.300 --> 00:37:54.760
No. No, I've just seen clips of them. I haven't

00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:59.139
actually seen the entire episodes. Yeah. I watched

00:37:59.139 --> 00:38:05.699
them. Probably, like, five, six years ago. It's

00:38:05.699 --> 00:38:10.739
been a while. But they are... I can understand

00:38:10.739 --> 00:38:16.400
why they got pulled, especially because the subject

00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:23.340
matter got them threats at their studio. Because

00:38:23.340 --> 00:38:26.500
two or three of the episodes of, like, the four

00:38:26.500 --> 00:38:30.420
that were eventually banned... contained depictions

00:38:30.420 --> 00:38:35.039
of the Prophet Muhammad, which is an absolute

00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:39.880
non -starter. It will get you in deep, deep trouble,

00:38:40.019 --> 00:38:45.079
and it very much did. But one little fun fact

00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:48.519
of lore about those episodes is that you find

00:38:48.519 --> 00:38:51.280
out who Cartman's real father is. That's in one

00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:58.789
of those episodes? You do. Okay. So if you are,

00:38:58.829 --> 00:39:01.369
if you have watched South Park and you have not

00:39:01.369 --> 00:39:04.309
watched these particular episodes, because I

00:39:04.309 --> 00:39:07.309
think you have to go probably on like Reddit

00:39:07.309 --> 00:39:11.230
or somewhere with a couple extra steps to watch

00:39:11.230 --> 00:39:15.449
these days. Yeah. There is an episode of South

00:39:15.449 --> 00:39:19.130
Park called Scott Tinnerman Must Die, I believe.

00:39:20.110 --> 00:39:24.469
In this episode, Cartman is being bullied by

00:39:24.469 --> 00:39:28.489
Scott Tinnerman. And the way that he chooses

00:39:28.489 --> 00:39:33.570
to get revenge on this bully is by killing and

00:39:33.570 --> 00:39:36.550
cooking Scott Tenderman's parents. As you do.

00:39:36.650 --> 00:39:39.309
And feeding them to Scott Tenderman in Chile.

00:39:39.949 --> 00:39:44.809
In one of the band episodes, you learn that Cartman's

00:39:44.809 --> 00:39:49.449
father is Scott Tenderman's dad. He killed and

00:39:49.449 --> 00:39:53.050
cooked his own dad and fed him to his half -brother.

00:39:54.030 --> 00:40:00.670
I don't think so. Wild man. So that might be

00:40:00.670 --> 00:40:03.650
worth cutting out because it is a little graphic,

00:40:03.789 --> 00:40:07.530
but if you didn't know, now you know. Do you

00:40:07.530 --> 00:40:11.550
remember how much Disney Plus was when it, well,

00:40:11.670 --> 00:40:14.110
you paid yearly. Did you pay for the three -year

00:40:14.110 --> 00:40:20.070
span, three -year block, or did you? I think

00:40:20.070 --> 00:40:22.289
so. I think I bought the whole thing. It was

00:40:22.289 --> 00:40:23.889
only like a couple hundred bucks for the three

00:40:23.889 --> 00:40:27.250
years. It was $5 .99 a month. $6 .99 a month.

00:40:27.309 --> 00:40:30.989
Sorry. And that was. Then yes, I paid for the

00:40:30.989 --> 00:40:38.530
three years. And I believe. Okay. That was COVID

00:40:38.530 --> 00:40:45.730
times. Yes. I believe it got launched in 21.

00:40:45.929 --> 00:40:50.340
No. Or it got launched in. End of 19. Yeah. It

00:40:50.340 --> 00:40:51.619
got launched in 19. I remember the first big

00:40:51.619 --> 00:40:53.420
thing that I was excited for that they were dropping

00:40:53.420 --> 00:40:57.559
on it was Hamilton. And that was July of 2020.

00:40:58.699 --> 00:41:02.940
Yes. That was during COVID. Yeah. Yeah. Are you

00:41:02.940 --> 00:41:04.420
excited for Hamilton to come back in theaters?

00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:08.199
You going to go see it with the little peoples?

00:41:08.820 --> 00:41:12.340
I don't know. We watched it recently. We watched

00:41:12.340 --> 00:41:16.500
it when we were in San Antonio. I don't know

00:41:16.500 --> 00:41:17.860
if it's something that I'd want to watch with

00:41:17.860 --> 00:41:21.550
a group of people. Not in a live. Because, like,

00:41:21.590 --> 00:41:24.889
we saw it here when it was in Dallas. And you're

00:41:24.889 --> 00:41:27.670
not going to have people, like, screaming, singing

00:41:27.670 --> 00:41:30.449
at the top of their lungs. But I think that you

00:41:30.449 --> 00:41:34.329
might have that in a theater. So I don't know.

00:41:34.849 --> 00:41:38.769
Sure. That was, yeah. Would you see it in theaters?

00:41:39.309 --> 00:41:40.710
That was why I didn't want to see. You want to

00:41:40.710 --> 00:41:46.250
see Wicked, right? I wouldn't unless I had the

00:41:46.250 --> 00:41:49.480
kids with me. I would watch it with them because

00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:51.119
I think it would be a fun experience for like

00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:54.199
a group to do like the sing -along thing because

00:41:54.199 --> 00:41:56.780
there's no way it's not going to be one. But

00:41:56.780 --> 00:42:02.460
during, or I think like just after COVID, so

00:42:02.460 --> 00:42:07.739
it would have been like 2021, Bo Burnham's Inside

00:42:07.739 --> 00:42:10.980
came to theaters and I didn't want to watch it

00:42:10.980 --> 00:42:13.420
in theaters because although I absolutely loved

00:42:13.420 --> 00:42:18.079
Inside, I didn't want to watch. people my age

00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:21.659
just crashing out singing all of his stuff for

00:42:21.659 --> 00:42:25.400
an hour that sounded genuinely exhausting and

00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:28.059
i had friends that went and they told me that

00:42:28.059 --> 00:42:30.119
that was exactly what happened was it was just

00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:32.760
a bunch of people losing their minds over bo

00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:37.019
burnham's newest album and that just sounds awful

00:42:37.019 --> 00:42:41.539
man if that is your thing by all means do you

00:42:41.539 --> 00:42:45.920
does it come out labor day weekend Sometime in

00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:46.880
September. I don't remember. I know it comes

00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:50.360
out soon. Yeah, I mean, I would go if you wanted

00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:52.380
to go. Around your birthday? We could take the

00:42:52.380 --> 00:42:59.900
kids. I watched too many of the... What is it?

00:42:59.940 --> 00:43:02.980
Best of Wives and Women? Best of... What is the

00:43:02.980 --> 00:43:07.000
name of that song? Best of... The one that's

00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:08.920
trending on TikTok right now, where it's a bunch

00:43:08.920 --> 00:43:11.099
of women with the Lin -Manuel Miranda goatee

00:43:11.099 --> 00:43:18.199
climbing out windows. Yeah. I don't know if you've

00:43:18.199 --> 00:43:23.179
seen Ashby's take on it. She is... She does just

00:43:23.179 --> 00:43:25.119
the best job of that trend. I don't know who

00:43:25.119 --> 00:43:26.840
Ashby is. I'll have to send it to you later if

00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:30.960
you haven't seen it. She's a, like, up -and -coming

00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:34.480
TikToker. Hey. She also dresses as the Lorax.

00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:39.260
Interesting. We're up -and -coming TikTokers.

00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:43.449
Yeah, this is true. We just need to start participating

00:43:43.449 --> 00:43:46.289
in more trends. I think you could totally pull

00:43:46.289 --> 00:43:48.710
off an Eliza look if you wanted to participate

00:43:48.710 --> 00:43:55.690
in this trend. Yeah. Maybe. One of my favorite

00:43:55.690 --> 00:43:57.929
ones. I'd be willing to fake crawl through a

00:43:57.929 --> 00:44:02.349
window. One of my favorite ones is take a break.

00:44:03.710 --> 00:44:07.630
And he's trying to write stuff down and she's

00:44:07.630 --> 00:44:10.789
singing to him about their Phillip's birthday.

00:44:11.659 --> 00:44:18.440
And then she starts beatboxing. And the reactions

00:44:18.440 --> 00:44:20.579
that these people have whenever she just breaks

00:44:20.579 --> 00:44:30.860
out into... That's hilarious. Is that the same

00:44:30.860 --> 00:44:33.780
as whenever Philip does his little poem? Yes.

00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:38.239
Yeah. Okay. Those are his bars over her beat.

00:44:44.110 --> 00:44:47.289
Okay, yeah. And then Hamilton's like, oh. I love

00:44:47.289 --> 00:44:54.110
that TikTok is having a, a lenissance. Where

00:44:54.110 --> 00:44:58.769
are we at? Disney Plus? Okay. Launched at $6

00:44:58.769 --> 00:45:09.849
.99. And now it's $15 .99 for ad free. So $6

00:45:09.849 --> 00:45:11.989
.99 before when I first started was ad free.

00:45:12.010 --> 00:45:14.489
You could watch wherever you wanted. And then

00:45:14.489 --> 00:45:19.670
$15 .99 is now that version. The ad supplemented

00:45:19.670 --> 00:45:25.769
version is $9 .99. And I don't... They release

00:45:25.769 --> 00:45:28.090
all this stuff. It's the same thing Netflix does.

00:45:28.309 --> 00:45:32.530
They release all this hot, hot, hot garbage.

00:45:33.269 --> 00:45:35.690
And then they're like, yeah, but like... So we

00:45:35.690 --> 00:45:37.469
have to raise prices so we can bring you all

00:45:37.469 --> 00:45:41.190
this entertainment. Like, I don't care about

00:45:41.190 --> 00:45:44.300
that entertainment. Like, maybe... They should

00:45:44.300 --> 00:45:47.579
have a plan where you don't get anything new.

00:45:48.239 --> 00:45:50.400
They give you, hey, this is the price you get.

00:45:50.500 --> 00:45:53.880
This is what you're going to have. And none of...

00:45:53.880 --> 00:45:58.159
Tiered content instead of tiered ads. Yeah. So

00:45:58.159 --> 00:46:02.500
you're not going to get Red Notice 7 or whatever.

00:46:03.079 --> 00:46:05.539
Whatever that terrible movie with The Rock and

00:46:05.539 --> 00:46:11.760
Ryan Reynolds was. Reynolds. Yeah. No, I'm good.

00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:15.809
I'm good. Don't forget about our girl, Gal Gadot.

00:46:16.030 --> 00:46:20.369
Isn't she in that one? Yeah, I believe so. Maybe.

00:46:20.869 --> 00:46:24.730
Enough champagne to fill the Nile. Terrible.

00:46:24.829 --> 00:46:30.510
Terrible actress. Terrible. And now she's coming

00:46:30.510 --> 00:46:39.250
out saying that Snow White flopped because anti

00:46:39.250 --> 00:46:45.059
-Semitism, Israel hate. That ballpark of excuses

00:46:45.059 --> 00:46:49.860
couldn't possibly have anything to do with Rachel

00:46:49.860 --> 00:46:53.460
Zegler being the most unbearable person on Earth,

00:46:53.559 --> 00:46:56.579
her being the worst actress on Earth, and no

00:46:56.579 --> 00:47:00.739
one asking for a live -action remake of Snow

00:47:00.739 --> 00:47:05.340
White. Couldn't possibly be it. It's just everyone

00:47:05.340 --> 00:47:11.389
else's problem. I will say, if... My additional

00:47:11.389 --> 00:47:14.690
subscription revenue for Netflix is going towards

00:47:14.690 --> 00:47:19.869
the god -awful CGI baby that was in Squid Game

00:47:19.869 --> 00:47:23.230
Season 3. I might just cancel tomorrow. I think

00:47:23.230 --> 00:47:25.610
I'm good. If that's what you're using my money

00:47:25.610 --> 00:47:28.769
for, it is clearly going to waste. Yeah, it was

00:47:28.769 --> 00:47:35.710
like Renesmee levels of bad. Mine and Tin Dog's

00:47:35.710 --> 00:47:38.210
looked better than the one in that show. Again,

00:47:38.349 --> 00:47:43.849
R .I .P. Zeus. Oh, sounds like someone has a

00:47:43.849 --> 00:47:46.769
bit of a guilty conscience. Keeps bringing up

00:47:46.769 --> 00:47:50.469
the digital dog she killed. He's still out there

00:47:50.469 --> 00:47:55.329
somewhere. Yeah, I mean, those are, in my eyes,

00:47:55.389 --> 00:47:58.690
those are the big three. I mean, you're constantly

00:47:58.690 --> 00:48:03.869
getting pelted in the face with, hey, just so

00:48:03.869 --> 00:48:07.590
you know, we're raising it up. We're having to

00:48:07.590 --> 00:48:09.489
offset costs, so we have to raise subscription

00:48:09.489 --> 00:48:17.489
fees. And it's a beating. And the whole streaming

00:48:17.489 --> 00:48:22.210
model. I mean, if they were just trying to stream,

00:48:22.449 --> 00:48:25.409
and that would be it. Like, hey, we have access

00:48:25.409 --> 00:48:28.869
to this content. This is the content we can give

00:48:28.869 --> 00:48:30.769
you. This is how much we're going to charge.

00:48:30.929 --> 00:48:34.849
But it's not. Because then it's, okay, well.

00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:40.719
Amazon Prime Video is included in your Prime

00:48:40.719 --> 00:48:44.260
membership, so you're paying for it yearly. Can

00:48:44.260 --> 00:48:47.440
you pay for Prime monthly? I have no clue. Anyways.

00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:52.099
I think it's yearly. So you have that. And then

00:48:52.099 --> 00:48:56.960
they're like, but hey, here's World of Worlds.

00:48:57.880 --> 00:49:05.630
But from the screen of Ice Cube. for an hour

00:49:05.630 --> 00:49:08.869
and a half and then we'll sprinkle in uh Eva

00:49:08.869 --> 00:49:11.809
Longoria and then some other faces that you know

00:49:11.809 --> 00:49:16.030
just on screens and it'll be one of the worst

00:49:16.030 --> 00:49:18.050
movies that has come out and you don't know how

00:49:18.050 --> 00:49:22.090
long but hey we're giving you content that you

00:49:22.090 --> 00:49:26.630
pay us for and we are gonna throw every single

00:49:26.630 --> 00:49:31.809
opportunity we have to slap you in the face let

00:49:31.809 --> 00:49:36.199
you know that Amazon made this What? Yeah. You

00:49:36.199 --> 00:49:38.300
need a drone? Tell you what, why don't you buy

00:49:38.300 --> 00:49:41.679
a USB off of Amazon so I can activate this drone,

00:49:41.860 --> 00:49:46.079
and then we can save the world with it. Oh, your

00:49:46.079 --> 00:49:48.860
drone flipped over? Wait, for real? I'm dead

00:49:48.860 --> 00:49:51.940
serious. Your drone flipped over? Hey, there's

00:49:51.940 --> 00:49:54.300
a homeless guy right there. I bet if you gave

00:49:54.300 --> 00:49:57.500
him a $1 ,000 Amazon gift card, he would risk

00:49:57.500 --> 00:49:59.699
his life to flip that drone back over so it can

00:49:59.699 --> 00:50:01.619
go back up in the air and it can save the world.

00:50:01.780 --> 00:50:08.429
No joke. No joke. actual plot lines in this awful,

00:50:08.670 --> 00:50:12.510
awful movie. That's going to be my next pitch

00:50:12.510 --> 00:50:14.349
for Movie Night with Nate. We're watching War

00:50:14.349 --> 00:50:19.769
of the Worlds. Well... Does it feel like a Transformers

00:50:19.769 --> 00:50:21.369
movie? Because it sounds like a Transformers

00:50:21.369 --> 00:50:23.929
movie. No. Where it's just all Microsoft surfaces

00:50:23.929 --> 00:50:28.789
and Bing. Oh, I mean, in that sense, I guess,

00:50:28.809 --> 00:50:33.429
but it's not literally one of the characters.

00:50:34.059 --> 00:50:39.960
is a Amazon delivery driver. Wears his uniform

00:50:39.960 --> 00:50:43.039
every single scene he's in. There's a photo of

00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:46.900
him at his engagement party. He is in his goddamn

00:50:46.900 --> 00:50:55.719
Amazon Prime delivery outfit. That is how awful

00:50:55.719 --> 00:51:02.619
this is. I had heard so much about it that I...

00:51:02.940 --> 00:51:09.519
If you propose to me in your Amazon Prime uniform,

00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:12.320
it's going to be a no from me, dog. Same day

00:51:12.320 --> 00:51:17.659
shipping of my love to you. I don't know any

00:51:17.659 --> 00:51:20.099
other Amazon puns. I'm sure there's something

00:51:20.099 --> 00:51:24.320
about Alexa in there. But yeah, I had to. It's

00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:28.000
the first movie that has been on Rotten Tomatoes

00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:31.829
that was a true zero. And so I obviously, I had

00:51:31.829 --> 00:51:34.090
to check it out. Didn't even make it through

00:51:34.090 --> 00:51:37.190
the whole thing. Naturally, yeah. I think maybe

00:51:37.190 --> 00:51:39.650
I missed like 15 minutes of it. What if it gets

00:51:39.650 --> 00:51:41.889
better? I've seen plenty of stuff saying it does

00:51:41.889 --> 00:51:45.429
not get better. But yeah, if there was a subscription

00:51:45.429 --> 00:51:48.170
model that said, hey, we won't give you new stuff

00:51:48.170 --> 00:51:51.309
because all the new stuff is ass, then I would

00:51:51.309 --> 00:51:54.409
totally be on board with that. But that is not

00:51:54.409 --> 00:51:57.050
the case. What if your subscription model...

00:51:57.449 --> 00:52:00.530
was based on the tomato meter. I would like to

00:52:00.530 --> 00:52:04.010
pay for only 25 % and down. Give me I Know Who

00:52:04.010 --> 00:52:05.989
Killed Me. Give me Madam Web. Did you not go

00:52:05.989 --> 00:52:08.329
into that? Give me Ice Cube's War of the Worlds.

00:52:08.809 --> 00:52:12.869
Oh, man. I don't want to watch someone else doing

00:52:12.869 --> 00:52:15.489
commentary. I want to be a part of it. You want

00:52:15.489 --> 00:52:20.329
to be the commentary? I piss Emily off when we're...

00:52:20.329 --> 00:52:23.269
I mean, it's usually something that she picked

00:52:23.269 --> 00:52:27.880
that I just poke all kinds of holes in. And she

00:52:27.880 --> 00:52:29.119
gets to the point where she's like, I don't want

00:52:29.119 --> 00:52:32.320
to watch anything with you. I was like, oh, okay.

00:52:32.460 --> 00:52:36.519
Well, sorry that I'm using logic for these ridiculous

00:52:36.519 --> 00:52:41.280
things that you're asking me to watch. We watched,

00:52:41.280 --> 00:52:44.880
uh, we watched Novocaine, another fun movie on

00:52:44.880 --> 00:52:48.739
Amazon Prime last week. Most of it. What'd you

00:52:48.739 --> 00:52:53.019
think of it? Yeah, it was fine. It was a fun

00:52:53.019 --> 00:53:01.280
watch. It was in. Incredibly unrealistic, predictable,

00:53:01.579 --> 00:53:07.039
unrealistic. It expects you to suspend common

00:53:07.039 --> 00:53:10.460
sense. What is it? Suspend your disbelief. Yeah.

00:53:10.519 --> 00:53:14.860
Yes. For just, just so hard. Like, yeah, I know

00:53:14.860 --> 00:53:16.780
you don't feel pain, but you've also broken literally

00:53:16.780 --> 00:53:19.460
every bone in your body. You're not moving. You're

00:53:19.460 --> 00:53:24.639
just not. Yeah. And like you get third. Fourth

00:53:24.639 --> 00:53:28.280
degree burns on your hand. Like your hand will

00:53:28.280 --> 00:53:32.820
not be functional. It may not hurt you. But you

00:53:32.820 --> 00:53:37.619
can't use that hand. Yeah. You're also fused

00:53:37.619 --> 00:53:42.179
to that gun. Like you're not letting go of it.

00:53:42.280 --> 00:53:47.500
You can't move. Yeah. Bananas. Still a fun watch.

00:53:47.699 --> 00:53:49.920
But yes. Very predictable. All right. For my

00:53:49.920 --> 00:53:53.610
last bit. Because I think maybe we got a little

00:53:53.610 --> 00:53:56.570
too preachy about the prices. So it's just bitching

00:53:56.570 --> 00:54:00.150
about the price of everything. Kind of yelling

00:54:00.150 --> 00:54:03.409
at the clouds. But we'll bring it all around.

00:54:03.630 --> 00:54:07.869
We'll bring it. Bring it around town. Have I

00:54:07.869 --> 00:54:09.710
been bitching about the prices of things? Huh?

00:54:10.730 --> 00:54:12.750
Have I been bitching about the prices of things?

00:54:13.150 --> 00:54:15.710
Because it's getting out of hand, man. It's been

00:54:15.710 --> 00:54:22.039
getting out of hand. So. I. I'm a house liver

00:54:22.039 --> 00:54:28.539
-inner, and I have a garage door. I also have

00:54:28.539 --> 00:54:35.039
an affinity for smart devices. It's probably

00:54:35.039 --> 00:54:39.900
the worst thing I could probably be invested

00:54:39.900 --> 00:54:44.000
in because literally China could shut down my

00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:48.409
entire house, but it's fun. It's fun to come

00:54:48.409 --> 00:54:51.010
into a room and mess around with the lights on

00:54:51.010 --> 00:54:57.409
my phone. It's fun to be six hours away from

00:54:57.409 --> 00:54:59.829
home and be able to check if my garage door is

00:54:59.829 --> 00:55:04.110
closed or not. What's not fun is that there are

00:55:04.110 --> 00:55:09.449
so many things now that are attached to subscription

00:55:09.449 --> 00:55:16.909
services. One of them, I have a... One of them

00:55:16.909 --> 00:55:23.090
is a smart garage door opener So I can one check

00:55:23.090 --> 00:55:28.150
to see if my garage doors open or closed To I

00:55:28.150 --> 00:55:31.570
can close or open it with my phone So like if

00:55:31.570 --> 00:55:35.869
I have someone coming over Then I can just open

00:55:35.869 --> 00:55:38.050
it for them and they can walk in or do whatever

00:55:40.300 --> 00:55:42.000
And everything's fine. I can do that from my

00:55:42.000 --> 00:55:44.699
phone. But I found out that they have a subscription

00:55:44.699 --> 00:55:46.559
service that luckily I don't have to pay for

00:55:46.559 --> 00:55:51.699
because it's only through certain cars on Apple

00:55:51.699 --> 00:55:57.820
CarPlay. But you have to pay $20 a year for one

00:55:57.820 --> 00:56:01.860
car to have access. Everything's already there.

00:56:01.940 --> 00:56:07.719
The software is there. The physical mechanisms

00:56:07.719 --> 00:56:11.110
are already in place. For you to be able to push

00:56:11.110 --> 00:56:13.349
a button on your CarPlay screen to open up your

00:56:13.349 --> 00:56:16.550
garage door or close your garage door. $20 a

00:56:16.550 --> 00:56:19.329
year for one car. You know how much it is for

00:56:19.329 --> 00:56:22.769
more than one car? Or more than one device? So

00:56:22.769 --> 00:56:28.570
say you have like two garage doors. $99 a year.

00:56:30.789 --> 00:56:38.079
A 500 % jump just to add more than one. Garage

00:56:38.079 --> 00:56:44.420
door or more than one vehicle. Yeah. You want

00:56:44.420 --> 00:56:48.920
to hear another silly one? Tesla. What you got?

00:56:49.019 --> 00:56:56.619
You can pay $9 .99 a month or $99 a year for

00:56:56.619 --> 00:57:02.099
access to live traffic, visualization, satellite

00:57:02.099 --> 00:57:06.739
view maps. video streaming music streaming and

00:57:06.739 --> 00:57:11.360
the internet browser in your freaking car a hundred

00:57:11.360 --> 00:57:16.079
dollars a year i don't i've seen a lot of ads

00:57:16.079 --> 00:57:19.199
and things for the like things that will convert

00:57:19.199 --> 00:57:21.340
your car play so that you can watch netflix and

00:57:21.340 --> 00:57:24.139
stuff on your display like that is genuinely

00:57:24.139 --> 00:57:26.639
terrifying to me i don't care if your car drives

00:57:26.639 --> 00:57:32.019
itself watch the road What are you doing? Why

00:57:32.019 --> 00:57:36.840
is Mindhunter more important than you being actively

00:57:36.840 --> 00:57:39.000
on the highway right now? Just watch it on your

00:57:39.000 --> 00:57:40.880
phone like a normal person while you're going

00:57:40.880 --> 00:57:43.460
down the street. Why are you going to give Elon

00:57:43.460 --> 00:57:46.440
more money, get him closer and closer to that

00:57:46.440 --> 00:57:50.920
trillionaire status? I don't get it. You're right.

00:57:51.000 --> 00:57:53.460
I mean, I'm on the same page, man. Mindhunter

00:57:53.460 --> 00:57:57.719
is not more important. Unless you're watching

00:57:57.719 --> 00:57:59.880
it on your phone while you're going 60 miles

00:57:59.880 --> 00:58:04.760
an hour down the highway. But on that note, full

00:58:04.760 --> 00:58:09.320
self -driving, but still supervised. So you still

00:58:09.320 --> 00:58:12.019
have to be paying attention, but it's full self

00:58:12.019 --> 00:58:16.059
-driving. Not if you pay $100 a year, you don't.

00:58:16.679 --> 00:58:21.199
A year? Catch up on the season two of Tires.

00:58:21.639 --> 00:58:27.389
$99 a month. Oh, wait, that's a month? A month.

00:58:27.469 --> 00:58:33.090
$99 a month for access to software to control

00:58:33.090 --> 00:58:38.969
hardware that is already in your car. Have you

00:58:38.969 --> 00:58:43.230
watched... Man, I don't remember the name of

00:58:43.230 --> 00:58:46.889
it. It's a new -ish Netflix movie with Julia

00:58:46.889 --> 00:58:53.690
Roberts. No. It's an apocalypse movie. And there's

00:58:53.690 --> 00:58:56.909
a scene in it where all of these Teslas... Huh?

00:58:57.369 --> 00:59:02.710
No. Similar to it in vibe because it's still

00:59:02.710 --> 00:59:09.630
like a... Yes. I keep wanting to call it As the

00:59:09.630 --> 00:59:11.250
World Turns and that's definitely wrong. I'm

00:59:11.250 --> 00:59:14.130
sure that's the movie that was produced by the

00:59:14.130 --> 00:59:17.929
Obamas. Certain side of the internet have a lot

00:59:17.929 --> 00:59:23.329
of problems with that movie. Naturally. But there's

00:59:23.329 --> 00:59:26.050
a scene in this movie where like every one of

00:59:26.050 --> 00:59:30.230
these Teslas in a dealership is overridden. And

00:59:30.230 --> 00:59:32.730
so they just like are driving down the highway.

00:59:32.829 --> 00:59:34.869
One of them comes to a full stop and every one

00:59:34.869 --> 00:59:38.789
of these Teslas just like piles onto it. No drivers,

00:59:38.829 --> 00:59:40.989
just destroying themselves. What I think of self

00:59:40.989 --> 00:59:43.929
-driving, I always think of that scene in whatever

00:59:43.929 --> 00:59:47.570
fast movie that was where they just start flying

00:59:47.570 --> 00:59:52.090
off the parking garage. Like on the third, fourth,

00:59:52.250 --> 00:59:55.030
fifth, sixth floor, all these cars just pile

00:59:55.030 --> 00:59:58.469
into the street because they've been hacked.

00:59:59.630 --> 01:00:03.630
Leave the world behind. Sorry. That was going

01:00:03.630 --> 01:00:07.030
to bother me. But yeah. Yeah, self -driving features

01:00:07.030 --> 01:00:09.510
include automatic lane changes, auto navigation,

01:00:09.829 --> 01:00:11.869
ability to navigate to a destination and pass

01:00:11.869 --> 01:00:15.329
slower cars. But I'm pretty sure that there's

01:00:15.329 --> 01:00:19.090
a camera. That watches your eyes to make sure

01:00:19.090 --> 01:00:21.070
that you are looking at the road. So why not?

01:00:21.210 --> 01:00:24.929
Why? Why are you paying $100 a month for that?

01:00:25.750 --> 01:00:29.769
For just to put your foot down and just keep

01:00:29.769 --> 01:00:36.769
the car straight? And why is it? Why is it $99?

01:00:37.230 --> 01:00:40.909
I understand that there's like running costs

01:00:40.909 --> 01:00:43.750
with it. But don't you think at some point...

01:00:44.269 --> 01:00:48.869
Those costs are going to go down with time, but

01:00:48.869 --> 01:00:51.030
you know that the subscription price isn't going

01:00:51.030 --> 01:00:53.110
to go down with time. It's just going to keep

01:00:53.110 --> 01:01:00.670
going up. There is a growing number of Teslas

01:01:00.670 --> 01:01:04.070
and Cybertrucks in the city of Austin that have

01:01:04.070 --> 01:01:08.590
bumper stickers. Those bumper stickers are almost

01:01:08.590 --> 01:01:12.420
across the board. I don't know the actual name

01:01:12.420 --> 01:01:14.300
of the symbol, but like the circle with the slash

01:01:14.300 --> 01:01:17.519
through it, the Ghostbusters thing that just

01:01:17.519 --> 01:01:20.340
says Elon in the middle of it or a bumper sticker

01:01:20.340 --> 01:01:22.360
that says, I bought this before we knew Elon

01:01:22.360 --> 01:01:24.760
was crazy, which for the record, no, you absolutely

01:01:24.760 --> 01:01:28.099
did not. He's been crazy. Ever since he got those

01:01:28.099 --> 01:01:41.760
hair plugs. Anyway. I want to know how many of

01:01:41.760 --> 01:01:44.860
those people have one of those, like, boo Elon

01:01:44.860 --> 01:01:48.539
Musk bumper stickers, but also pay $100 a month

01:01:48.539 --> 01:01:51.760
to access the internet and Netflix on their Teslas.

01:01:52.860 --> 01:01:59.739
Yeah. I mean, yeah. We've spoken a couple times

01:01:59.739 --> 01:02:03.699
about all that fake protesting and throwing a

01:02:03.699 --> 01:02:06.699
bumper sticker on your car and calling it a day.

01:02:08.239 --> 01:02:12.460
Yeah, usually hypocrites. Coexist, man. But that's

01:02:12.460 --> 01:02:15.820
not even the most egregious car subscription

01:02:15.820 --> 01:02:21.599
service. This one was so batshit crazy. And it

01:02:21.599 --> 01:02:23.619
caused such an uproar that they were like, yeah,

01:02:23.719 --> 01:02:28.280
never mind. We're just going to go back and do

01:02:28.280 --> 01:02:31.300
this a little more secretively. And it was BMW

01:02:31.300 --> 01:02:36.400
trying to charge you $18 a month to use the seat

01:02:36.400 --> 01:02:41.050
warmers. Uh -huh. What? Yeah, it would have to.

01:02:41.190 --> 01:02:44.630
So you already have the coils. You already have

01:02:44.630 --> 01:02:47.389
everything in the seats that you need to turn

01:02:47.389 --> 01:02:54.489
on the seat warmers, except you needed a software

01:02:54.489 --> 01:03:00.829
to enable the heater to activate. And in order

01:03:00.829 --> 01:03:05.619
for you to get that software, to enable the heater

01:03:05.619 --> 01:03:10.699
to activate, you had to pay BMW $18. Was the

01:03:10.699 --> 01:03:15.019
plan. People thought, rightfully so, that it

01:03:15.019 --> 01:03:19.340
was so cuckoo bananas that they were like, yeah,

01:03:19.460 --> 01:03:24.360
never mind. But, you know, they're going to come

01:03:24.360 --> 01:03:26.880
back and... everyone's going to forget about

01:03:26.880 --> 01:03:29.199
this, and then they'll be like, oh, by the way,

01:03:29.340 --> 01:03:32.739
this is an added feature. You get seat warmers

01:03:32.739 --> 01:03:37.019
for $36, but then you also get air conditioning.

01:03:38.440 --> 01:03:42.219
They unlock the Freon, but that's premium plus.

01:03:49.039 --> 01:03:57.380
It's even got free in the name. Oh my god. Can

01:03:57.380 --> 01:03:59.519
we just be at the end of the simulation already?

01:04:00.599 --> 01:04:02.739
I'm tired of whatever is happening right now.

01:04:02.800 --> 01:04:07.079
I think it's time. I think it's time for a reboot.

01:04:08.219 --> 01:04:10.340
The only time I will ever say that out loud.

01:04:13.619 --> 01:04:16.219
Do you want to know my most ridiculous subscription

01:04:16.219 --> 01:04:18.579
service? This is one that you actively pay for?

01:04:19.199 --> 01:04:25.289
Or this is one... It is one that I used to. I

01:04:25.289 --> 01:04:28.789
did at one point. So fun little story time. A

01:04:28.789 --> 01:04:33.190
couple of years ago, I got my wallet stolen and

01:04:33.190 --> 01:04:38.070
it like, it was only out of my sight for maybe

01:04:38.070 --> 01:04:40.769
like two minutes before I realized. And it was

01:04:40.769 --> 01:04:46.650
already very gone by then. So I was like, okay,

01:04:46.750 --> 01:04:49.449
well, I don't want that to happen again. So have

01:04:49.449 --> 01:04:54.280
you ever heard of tile? So tile. It was AirTags

01:04:54.280 --> 01:04:58.719
before there were AirTags. They sell AirTags

01:04:58.719 --> 01:05:01.340
that are specifically meant to go into your wallet.

01:05:01.420 --> 01:05:05.039
They are these little things right here. Credit

01:05:05.039 --> 01:05:07.280
card sized, but a little thicker. It's credit

01:05:07.280 --> 01:05:10.039
card sized, yeah. What I didn't know when I bought

01:05:10.039 --> 01:05:12.500
this thing, which was in and of itself fairly

01:05:12.500 --> 01:05:16.280
expensive, considering it is just a card that

01:05:16.280 --> 01:05:20.940
can be located, should I need to locate it, $100

01:05:20.940 --> 01:05:25.019
a year. Just in the chance that my wallet were

01:05:25.019 --> 01:05:28.119
to get stolen again, I would probably be able

01:05:28.119 --> 01:05:32.280
to tell the police where to find it after it's

01:05:32.280 --> 01:05:36.000
already guaranteed been disposed of. Did you

01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:41.699
pay the $100? So it gave me a discount on my

01:05:41.699 --> 01:05:44.840
first year whenever I bought it. And so I did

01:05:44.840 --> 01:05:46.219
it for the first year. And I've had this thing

01:05:46.219 --> 01:05:48.079
for probably like four or five at this point.

01:05:48.159 --> 01:05:50.699
And it does not have any... Like, this is just

01:05:50.699 --> 01:05:53.500
a... A credit card now. This is completely useless.

01:05:54.159 --> 01:05:57.199
I still keep it. Well, I don't know why, but

01:05:57.199 --> 01:06:00.260
I feel weird about throwing it out. Yeah. Can't

01:06:00.260 --> 01:06:01.940
do anything with it anymore. I don't even know

01:06:01.940 --> 01:06:04.579
if tile still exists. I don't either. I had one

01:06:04.579 --> 01:06:08.800
at one point. It's got a button. There's a button

01:06:08.800 --> 01:06:11.599
and I don't know what it does. It was like a

01:06:11.599 --> 01:06:13.500
locator. Might be summoning the authorities right

01:06:13.500 --> 01:06:17.860
now. But no, I had one of those too. Stupid as

01:06:17.860 --> 01:06:21.730
hell. battery went out in it and then their big

01:06:21.730 --> 01:06:26.730
their big uh thing then was like oh no you you

01:06:26.730 --> 01:06:28.610
can't take out the battery you can't replace

01:06:28.610 --> 01:06:31.809
the battery you have to send it in to us we'll

01:06:31.809 --> 01:06:33.510
replace the battery and then we'll send it back

01:06:33.510 --> 01:06:37.590
to you and oh don't you can't take it apart don't

01:06:37.590 --> 01:06:39.590
take it apart because you do it voids the warranty

01:06:39.590 --> 01:06:43.090
and then it would still work after you took it

01:06:43.090 --> 01:06:49.210
apart and and replace the battery but Yeah, that's

01:06:49.210 --> 01:06:51.530
a whole nother thing is planned obsolescence.

01:06:51.750 --> 01:06:54.170
That should be an episode that we get to at some

01:06:54.170 --> 01:06:59.070
point. And that. Oh, I'll definitely add that

01:06:59.070 --> 01:07:08.250
to the list. But whenever we were at. Or we talked

01:07:08.250 --> 01:07:14.130
about the whole 2020 COVID era. And one thing

01:07:14.130 --> 01:07:17.320
that I found. during that time was i needed a

01:07:17.320 --> 01:07:21.559
printer i had been furloughed from work so it

01:07:21.559 --> 01:07:23.559
was like laid off but we'll bring you back at

01:07:23.559 --> 01:07:26.300
some point and so i was just doing odds and end

01:07:26.300 --> 01:07:31.280
stuff uh and found myself doing work that needed

01:07:31.280 --> 01:07:34.239
a lot of printing i didn't have a printer so

01:07:34.239 --> 01:07:37.119
just looked at best buy found one that had a

01:07:37.119 --> 01:07:40.579
good deal went and got it brought it home make

01:07:40.579 --> 01:07:42.500
sure you sign up for registration all this other

01:07:42.500 --> 01:07:48.570
stuff sign up for instant ink. Have you ever

01:07:48.570 --> 01:07:51.429
signed up for instant ink? I have. Yeah. When

01:07:51.429 --> 01:07:54.809
I had my HP printer. So it is a service that

01:07:54.809 --> 01:08:00.590
will count how many pages you print a month and

01:08:00.590 --> 01:08:04.349
it will charge you that. So like I have the,

01:08:04.349 --> 01:08:07.610
the 20, uh, this is as far as I know, the most

01:08:07.610 --> 01:08:10.510
up to date breakdown of it. Uh, if you print

01:08:10.510 --> 01:08:14.599
up to 50 pages, it's five 49 a month. So it's

01:08:14.599 --> 01:08:19.279
a sliding scale on what the subscription cost

01:08:19.279 --> 01:08:24.800
is. But what it'll do is it'll send you ink,

01:08:24.800 --> 01:08:30.340
which at face value seems okay, fine. That seems

01:08:30.340 --> 01:08:32.699
like it's going to be way cheaper if I'm paying

01:08:32.699 --> 01:08:36.039
$5 .49 a month, and then it knows when I need

01:08:36.039 --> 01:08:38.020
ink, and it just sends me ink. I replace them,

01:08:38.039 --> 01:08:40.100
and Bob's your uncle. Everything's good, right?

01:08:41.079 --> 01:08:45.180
But the problem is that you lock yourself into

01:08:45.180 --> 01:08:48.119
using those cartridges. And those cartridges

01:08:48.119 --> 01:08:50.800
can just say, yeah, we're not printing anymore.

01:08:50.979 --> 01:08:54.619
If you don't make that monthly payment, then

01:08:54.619 --> 01:08:57.699
the printer tells the cartridge, do not print.

01:08:58.319 --> 01:09:02.000
So you have this ink in your possession, but

01:09:02.000 --> 01:09:05.760
your printer is getting a signal from the subscription

01:09:05.760 --> 01:09:08.859
service saying, hey, stop work because we don't

01:09:08.859 --> 01:09:11.810
have payment. Your printer tells the ink, hey,

01:09:11.909 --> 01:09:13.930
don't print anything because we don't have payment.

01:09:14.329 --> 01:09:16.390
And you're just sitting here and it's completely

01:09:16.390 --> 01:09:20.630
bricked up your printer. After you've paid $120,

01:09:21.029 --> 01:09:25.170
$130, however much I paid for it, for the printer

01:09:25.170 --> 01:09:30.729
itself. And then when you go in to, like, you

01:09:30.729 --> 01:09:34.930
take those. bullshit cartridges out and you put

01:09:34.930 --> 01:09:38.229
in your own, you have like seven different, hey,

01:09:38.409 --> 01:09:41.810
this is an instant ink cartridge. This is an

01:09:41.810 --> 01:09:43.810
instant ink cartridge. Are you sure you want

01:09:43.810 --> 01:09:45.630
to use anything but an instant ink cartridge?

01:09:45.789 --> 01:09:47.310
Blah, blah, blah, blah, all this other stuff.

01:09:47.529 --> 01:09:50.489
And still to this day, I have not used those

01:09:50.489 --> 01:09:53.590
cartridges in I don't know how long. I still

01:09:53.590 --> 01:09:57.630
get a notification on the printer screen saying

01:09:57.630 --> 01:10:03.510
you need instant cartridges. Or otherwise, printing

01:10:03.510 --> 01:10:09.529
may be delayed or otherwise interrupted. So ridiculous

01:10:09.529 --> 01:10:14.970
that we have let it go this far. And I mean,

01:10:14.989 --> 01:10:19.710
if you have something that, say, maybe two or

01:10:19.710 --> 01:10:21.250
three times a week that you're printing stuff

01:10:21.250 --> 01:10:25.449
off, you're easily going to blow through 300

01:10:25.449 --> 01:10:31.770
pages. And that is $16 a month. Yeah. 700 pages

01:10:31.770 --> 01:10:34.930
is $32 a month. And these prices are only for

01:10:34.930 --> 01:10:39.050
ink, not the paper. So you also have to factor

01:10:39.050 --> 01:10:42.630
in the cost of paper, too. And the last one I

01:10:42.630 --> 01:10:45.010
have is one that I've posted on our Instagram

01:10:45.010 --> 01:10:51.029
a while ago because I was so appalled by it.

01:10:52.149 --> 01:10:57.090
And it is a subscription service to 7 -Eleven

01:10:57.090 --> 01:11:05.899
for... $9 .95 a month or $99 a year. I'm so sick

01:11:05.899 --> 01:11:10.140
of this $9 .99 attitude being used on everything.

01:11:10.260 --> 01:11:13.520
Oh, well, it's just $99. It's not $100. It's

01:11:13.520 --> 01:11:17.159
still two digits. It's $9 .99. It's not $10.

01:11:17.800 --> 01:11:20.739
Yeah. So tired of it. You want to know what you

01:11:20.739 --> 01:11:24.369
get with a 7 -Eleven subscription? What do you

01:11:24.369 --> 01:11:27.489
get? Seven free drinks every month. This is another

01:11:27.489 --> 01:11:30.329
problem that I have with these subscription services.

01:11:30.890 --> 01:11:34.130
If you are paying for a subscription, nothing

01:11:34.130 --> 01:11:37.149
in it is free. So you say, oh, but you get this

01:11:37.149 --> 01:11:41.869
for free. No, I don't. No. It's $10 a month,

01:11:42.090 --> 01:11:48.270
but I get seven drinks. So whatever 10 divided

01:11:48.270 --> 01:11:51.750
by 7 is, that's how much it costs. You get an

01:11:51.750 --> 01:11:55.260
extra 5 cents off per gallon. But I'm sure that

01:11:55.260 --> 01:11:58.479
there is a cutoff there. Because there's an asterisk.

01:11:58.960 --> 01:12:01.000
They push that one pretty hard on us whenever.

01:12:01.899 --> 01:12:06.439
I worked at 7 -Eleven. Oh, yeah? Oh, that's right.

01:12:06.939 --> 01:12:09.880
Were you part of the marketing team for this?

01:12:10.000 --> 01:12:12.140
It was when they first rolled out 7 -Eleven Gold.

01:12:12.220 --> 01:12:14.819
Yeah, I think that's what it's called. No. I

01:12:14.819 --> 01:12:18.739
was not in marketing. I was in analytics. Unlimited

01:12:18.739 --> 01:12:23.579
free delivery and 10 % cash back. Who is getting

01:12:23.579 --> 01:12:26.140
their 7 -Eleven delivered? You don't go to 7

01:12:26.140 --> 01:12:29.340
-Eleven on purpose. I don't know. It was just

01:12:29.340 --> 01:12:31.359
on the side of the highway that you were on.

01:12:31.520 --> 01:12:35.359
I don't know who this is for. I don't know who

01:12:35.359 --> 01:12:39.600
in their right mind is spending $9 .95 a month

01:12:39.600 --> 01:12:42.680
for these perks. Or, God forbid, someone spending

01:12:42.680 --> 01:12:45.720
$100 a year. And then exclusive delivery. It

01:12:45.720 --> 01:12:47.779
has to be just employees of the corporate office.

01:12:48.720 --> 01:12:52.239
I don't know. It's just it boggles the mind.

01:12:53.420 --> 01:12:57.460
Boggles the mind. But that's all I got for this

01:12:57.460 --> 01:13:03.239
episode. My inner old man shining through. I'm

01:13:03.239 --> 01:13:08.460
just tired of it. I have one more thing. Not

01:13:08.460 --> 01:13:11.500
necessarily about subscriptions, but reasons

01:13:11.500 --> 01:13:14.260
that I would be ending my subscriptions to a

01:13:14.260 --> 01:13:19.319
couple things. There is a push right now for...

01:13:19.319 --> 01:13:22.819
It's already happened in the UK. There is talk

01:13:22.819 --> 01:13:24.680
of it coming to the States. And if it does, I

01:13:24.680 --> 01:13:27.020
will be canceling my subscriptions. And that

01:13:27.020 --> 01:13:31.800
is for Spotify and YouTube to start requiring

01:13:31.800 --> 01:13:35.180
a picture of your ID. I will absolutely be canceling

01:13:35.180 --> 01:13:36.479
my subscriptions if that happens. There's talks

01:13:36.479 --> 01:13:39.159
of that with GTA 6. I understand why they're

01:13:39.159 --> 01:13:41.880
doing it, theoretically. Yeah, won't be doing

01:13:41.880 --> 01:13:44.779
that. No, there's no way. No way I'm going to

01:13:44.779 --> 01:13:47.039
be uploading a picture of my ID for anything

01:13:47.039 --> 01:13:51.960
that doesn't need it. Like it's not a legal requirement.

01:13:52.300 --> 01:13:56.100
For anything, yeah. Right. What's the reason?

01:13:56.100 --> 01:13:58.539
Absolute insanity. Just to make sure that it's

01:13:58.539 --> 01:14:05.720
you? So there is explicit content on both YouTube

01:14:05.720 --> 01:14:09.159
and Spotify. The reason that they've given, the

01:14:09.159 --> 01:14:11.479
reason that they implemented it in the UK was

01:14:11.479 --> 01:14:14.600
because... minors were getting on these apps

01:14:14.600 --> 01:14:16.159
and were looking at things they shouldn't have

01:14:16.159 --> 01:14:17.640
or were listening to things that they shouldn't

01:14:17.640 --> 01:14:21.380
have. Podcast episodes, explicit content, whatever.

01:14:22.420 --> 01:14:27.960
The way that you would prove that you're of age

01:14:27.960 --> 01:14:30.180
to actually consume this content is with your

01:14:30.180 --> 01:14:33.460
ID. Apparently Spotify has had for a long time.

01:14:34.820 --> 01:14:37.319
A metric where they'll just like kind of guess

01:14:37.319 --> 01:14:40.359
what your age range is based on the content that

01:14:40.359 --> 01:14:42.239
you consume, which I'm also not happy about.

01:14:42.680 --> 01:14:45.899
I know that it happens in literally everything

01:14:45.899 --> 01:14:48.560
that I pay for these days or any website that

01:14:48.560 --> 01:14:51.960
I visit, any whatever. But the second that they

01:14:51.960 --> 01:14:54.060
require me to put my ID in so that I can listen

01:14:54.060 --> 01:14:57.899
to music, I'm done. So you listen. If I can't

01:14:57.899 --> 01:15:01.859
watch Y -Files without my ID, I'm done. I'm good.

01:15:01.920 --> 01:15:07.159
So you listen to. Bluey, you listen to Miss Rachel,

01:15:07.359 --> 01:15:13.800
you listen to Rafi, and then you turn on an episode

01:15:13.800 --> 01:15:17.260
of Joe Rogan. Then you're going to get shut out

01:15:17.260 --> 01:15:22.300
because it thinks that you're just a child that

01:15:22.300 --> 01:15:26.359
stumbled into an episode of a show that you shouldn't

01:15:26.359 --> 01:15:28.539
be listening to, that they dictate you shouldn't

01:15:28.539 --> 01:15:34.029
be listening to. How far away is that from, you

01:15:34.029 --> 01:15:36.569
have to have, when you're using their services,

01:15:36.649 --> 01:15:38.149
you have to have your phone in front of your

01:15:38.149 --> 01:15:40.930
face so they can constantly scan you to make

01:15:40.930 --> 01:15:46.609
sure that it is you, a legal adult, that is watching

01:15:46.609 --> 01:15:52.710
this content. I'm not, I also have a lot of thoughts

01:15:52.710 --> 01:15:56.369
when it comes to the state of surveillance at

01:15:56.369 --> 01:16:01.300
the moment. Don't need to dive down that rabbit

01:16:01.300 --> 01:16:02.439
hole. Do you need to bring Nate in on that one?

01:16:02.880 --> 01:16:07.260
However. Yes. Now, him and I have had this conversation

01:16:07.260 --> 01:16:09.340
so many times that I'm pretty sure he's tired

01:16:09.340 --> 01:16:14.619
of it. I tend to get a little bit riled up. That

01:16:14.619 --> 01:16:17.079
makes for a good episode. Because it's really

01:16:17.079 --> 01:16:22.460
frustrating. Well, so the TLDR, the thing that

01:16:22.460 --> 01:16:24.460
frustrates me the most is that Walmart had to

01:16:24.460 --> 01:16:28.579
come out pretty recently because... Virginia

01:16:28.579 --> 01:16:30.539
had put a law in place that had required them

01:16:30.539 --> 01:16:33.260
to disclose that they had been tracking people's

01:16:33.260 --> 01:16:36.659
reproductive purchases. Pads, tampons, condoms,

01:16:36.659 --> 01:16:40.479
etc. I was on a border state, but I was connected

01:16:40.479 --> 01:16:43.899
to a server in Virginia and I got that pop up

01:16:43.899 --> 01:16:51.979
whenever I was in. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's not

01:16:51.979 --> 01:16:55.939
a statement that they have. just started recording

01:16:55.939 --> 01:17:01.140
your information and that, like, it's not a warning

01:17:01.140 --> 01:17:02.960
of, hey, like, we're about to do this. It was

01:17:02.960 --> 01:17:07.560
Virginia lawmakers saying, hey, you have to tell

01:17:07.560 --> 01:17:11.979
them that you've been doing this. Yes. And so

01:17:11.979 --> 01:17:14.079
I'm not going to participate in any more of this

01:17:14.079 --> 01:17:17.500
stuff than I am actually required to. Well, I

01:17:17.500 --> 01:17:19.119
definitely think that would make a good episode.

01:17:19.279 --> 01:17:23.159
So let's schedule something with Nate. Yeah.

01:17:24.779 --> 01:17:26.920
I mean, it's going to be a little tough to add

01:17:26.920 --> 01:17:31.020
levity to, uh, Hey, did you know that everybody

01:17:31.020 --> 01:17:33.140
is watching or people are watching her every

01:17:33.140 --> 01:17:36.640
single move at all times? Because the King of

01:17:36.640 --> 01:17:40.579
levity. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we missed the boat

01:17:40.579 --> 01:17:44.420
on Sydney Sweeney to be fair. I do argue that,

01:17:44.500 --> 01:17:47.539
uh, jeans that passed off and pass offspring

01:17:47.539 --> 01:17:52.010
is still a pretty funny, pretty funny read. It's

01:17:52.010 --> 01:17:54.489
at least one lighter moment in that episode.

01:17:54.630 --> 01:17:57.149
It is, yeah. Because it's just nonsense. It is.

01:17:57.729 --> 01:18:01.550
But hey, the whole world's nonsense. All right.

01:18:01.890 --> 01:18:09.029
Well, we got anything to wrap this up with? Any

01:18:09.029 --> 01:18:15.989
words of wisdom? It's maybe another call to action.

01:18:16.090 --> 01:18:18.050
I think it is time that we go back and start

01:18:18.050 --> 01:18:23.140
buying movies. And CDs. Hard copies. That they

01:18:23.140 --> 01:18:25.920
can't take away from you? Hard copies. Own your

01:18:25.920 --> 01:18:29.300
things. Don't let the... Don't let the man...

01:18:29.300 --> 01:18:30.619
Don't let the streaming giants... Tell you what

01:18:30.619 --> 01:18:32.020
you can and can't watch. Own all of the things

01:18:32.020 --> 01:18:37.119
you concern. Consume. Don't let the man dictate

01:18:37.119 --> 01:18:39.720
what you can and can't watch. Have hard copies.

01:18:40.460 --> 01:18:44.619
If nothing else, you get some exercise getting

01:18:44.619 --> 01:18:50.359
off the couch. And... Putting in a DVD. Putting

01:18:50.359 --> 01:18:54.199
in a Blu -ray. Putting in a CD. Good luck finding

01:18:54.199 --> 01:18:59.020
a CD player in a modern car. But maybe just get

01:18:59.020 --> 01:19:00.760
one of those. I mean, even in that case, you

01:19:00.760 --> 01:19:04.460
could still burn them back onto your computer.

01:19:04.479 --> 01:19:08.239
Good luck finding a modern laptop with a CD drive

01:19:08.239 --> 01:19:13.600
in it. That's a fair point. Yeah. It's all on

01:19:13.600 --> 01:19:17.500
purpose, man. It's all on purpose. They took

01:19:17.500 --> 01:19:21.090
away. I want the simulation to end. They took

01:19:21.090 --> 01:19:23.489
away all of your ownership so that they could

01:19:23.489 --> 01:19:28.750
completely own you. And on that, we'll see you.

01:19:29.029 --> 01:19:32.989
Sounds like a lot of hoopla. Peace out, Girl

01:19:32.989 --> 01:19:33.310
Scouts.
