Take in the laughs. Indulge in the topics with

00:00:07.259 --> 00:00:10.859
us. The Now We Consume podcast will take you

00:00:10.859 --> 00:00:13.160
through the parts of your day you normally dread.

00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:16.579
Why suffer through the existential crisis of

00:00:16.579 --> 00:00:20.140
life alone when you can do it with us? And now

00:00:20.140 --> 00:00:23.179
we consume. This is not meant to be a conspiracy

00:00:23.179 --> 00:00:25.239
episode or podcast, but we make over some topics

00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:26.480
that dance that line like a toddler dances on

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.800
their mother's last nerve. This podcast is rated

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:32.009
I. For immature audiences only. If you enjoy

00:00:32.009 --> 00:00:33.909
making a face in movies that looks like a turtle

00:00:33.909 --> 00:00:35.490
getting reeled while getting ready to get glazed

00:00:35.490 --> 00:00:37.310
like the gingerbread man, you've come to the

00:00:37.310 --> 00:00:40.170
right spot. Hi, and welcome back to the Now We

00:00:40.170 --> 00:00:44.670
Consume podcast. I'm Pip, your host, and with

00:00:44.670 --> 00:00:47.310
me as always is my co -host, Gibbs. You know,

00:00:47.350 --> 00:00:49.530
I love your intros, but sometimes I'm disgusted

00:00:49.530 --> 00:00:53.990
by them. Glaze me! Glaze me! That's all I can

00:00:53.990 --> 00:00:58.950
think of. It's just a turtle that... Oh, yes.

00:00:59.590 --> 00:01:01.350
There's got to be a weird edit out there with

00:01:01.350 --> 00:01:05.549
that. We do love our turtle porn. We? No, no,

00:01:05.569 --> 00:01:07.329
no, no. No, you're not throwing me into that.

00:01:07.629 --> 00:01:11.969
You are a fan of that noise, too. It's funny.

00:01:12.170 --> 00:01:14.329
You're the one that posted the Discord. There's

00:01:14.329 --> 00:01:17.450
two different things. I reference it. You post

00:01:17.450 --> 00:01:21.390
it. That's a whole different. I did actually

00:01:21.390 --> 00:01:24.939
put the noise in. That is my doing. I can even

00:01:24.939 --> 00:01:28.900
put out the audio afterwards. Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:32.519
We should do that in post. But tonight, we're

00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:34.719
going to be talking about the downward spiral

00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.439
of the entertainment industry. And as we are

00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.219
a part of said entertainment industry, sort of.

00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.280
You know, I hadn't factored that in at all for

00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.519
tonight. I know, right? It didn't even occur

00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.680
to me. We're entertaining? I don't know. We are

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:57.180
part of the problem. But the problem. Yes. I

00:01:57.180 --> 00:02:00.680
do want to take a quick aside to mention two

00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:04.060
things. First, I want to give a shout out to

00:02:04.060 --> 00:02:09.520
my son, Connor. Today, 420 is his birthday. So

00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.939
happy birthday, Connor. He turned 11 years old

00:02:11.939 --> 00:02:16.680
today. So, hell yeah. First of all, fuck, that

00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.879
makes me old. I know because you remember when

00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:24.349
he was born. I know. Good God. Second of all,

00:02:24.389 --> 00:02:27.169
hell of a birthday to have. I know, right? So

00:02:27.169 --> 00:02:29.430
you've got to be careful in a few years. I know.

00:02:30.669 --> 00:02:35.270
And second, found out very early this morning

00:02:35.270 --> 00:02:37.610
that we crossed a big milestone for the show.

00:02:39.189 --> 00:02:44.569
We hit, or I guess we crossed the 1 ,000 download

00:02:44.569 --> 00:02:50.189
mark prior to going to episode 20. Uh, so thank

00:02:50.189 --> 00:02:53.430
you everybody that's listened. Um, that is a

00:02:53.430 --> 00:02:57.210
very big thing. That's a big deal. Big milestone

00:02:57.210 --> 00:02:59.969
that I honestly did not think we would hit for

00:02:59.969 --> 00:03:03.110
quite a while. So thank you to everybody that's,

00:03:03.110 --> 00:03:05.150
uh, taking the time to tune in and join us on

00:03:05.150 --> 00:03:08.449
the ride. But, uh, Gibbs, if you want to take

00:03:08.449 --> 00:03:11.370
it for a couple of seconds and yeah, absolutely.

00:03:11.509 --> 00:03:14.370
And then touch some, uh, some, some deep tips

00:03:14.370 --> 00:03:19.780
and I knew you were going to do it. but no definitely

00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:21.979
thank you everybody that's listened we just did

00:03:21.979 --> 00:03:25.280
this as like a fun pet project and we received

00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.419
a lot more support and outreach than we ever

00:03:27.419 --> 00:03:31.259
expected now that I have my finances in order

00:03:31.259 --> 00:03:35.400
I do want to starting this week like doing some

00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:39.479
more investments and stuff in this show and starting

00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:41.500
to put more effort towards it now that the rest

00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:44.020
of my life outside of this is starting to finally

00:03:44.020 --> 00:03:46.599
get organized I actually got to spend time yesterday

00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.319
and, like, do some fun things, which, like, to

00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.900
me is incredible. That's awesome. But that being

00:03:53.900 --> 00:03:57.719
said. Will we get shorts anytime soon? This week,

00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:01.240
absolutely, actually. Wow. Okay, you heard it

00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:03.460
here first, folks. No, I'm not kidding. So long

00:04:03.460 --> 00:04:06.099
story short, outside of this, after work, I've

00:04:06.099 --> 00:04:07.560
had to do, like, trainings and other stuff in

00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:09.819
different classes and whatever. I'm most of the

00:04:09.819 --> 00:04:12.639
way through that. So as part of my requirement

00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.219
for my work. So therefore. I don't have to do

00:04:15.219 --> 00:04:18.220
that after work every day. That was turning a

00:04:18.220 --> 00:04:20.040
12 -hour workday into like a 14 -hour workday.

00:04:20.579 --> 00:04:24.959
Very nice. So, anyways. That's disgusting. Yeah,

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:26.639
I'm not a fan. Not a fan with the modern work

00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:28.779
environment, but that's a whole other topic.

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.519
Episode. Oh, yeah. Particularly, it's an American

00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.000
thing. But anyways, the downward spiral of the

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.160
entertainment industry. Now, it's kind of this

00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:43.470
weird thing in America where... Really post -World

00:04:43.470 --> 00:04:48.029
War II, America has been the hub of entertainment

00:04:48.029 --> 00:04:54.610
almost globally. The hub. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

00:04:54.810 --> 00:05:02.829
I mean, if the shoe fits, it's not gone. But

00:05:02.829 --> 00:05:06.610
America has been the hub of entertainment. We

00:05:06.610 --> 00:05:08.410
have been kind of the center. We kind of set

00:05:08.410 --> 00:05:11.279
the standard. We set the stage. And I know you're

00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.079
giggling over there. I'll let you do your thing.

00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.680
But we really are. Joking aside, both intentionally

00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:21.240
and not, we really are. So, it's been one of

00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:23.600
the weird things where every single time a movie

00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:24.920
or piece of entertainment, something comes out,

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.819
everything else has to outdo it. If something

00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:29.399
is ridiculous, something else has to be more

00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.180
ridiculous. Something funny has to be funnier.

00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:33.680
You know, science fiction has to be crazy. Then

00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:36.649
the next one has to be crazier. The adventure

00:05:36.649 --> 00:05:39.350
has to be more insane and everything has to be

00:05:39.350 --> 00:05:41.649
turned up to 11 and then 12 and then 14 and 37

00:05:41.649 --> 00:05:45.810
and 92. It becomes this exponential problem where,

00:05:45.870 --> 00:05:49.350
but we're movies that used to captivate people

00:05:49.350 --> 00:05:55.970
like, um, like 2001, a space Odyssey. Now, now

00:05:55.970 --> 00:05:58.709
for anyone at home, if there's movies that we

00:05:58.709 --> 00:06:00.709
reference here, I do recommend to look them up

00:06:00.709 --> 00:06:02.310
because I'm going to be making some very specific

00:06:02.310 --> 00:06:05.279
references. uh just some older movies but there's

00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:09.259
a good reason for it when 2001 a space odyssey

00:06:09.259 --> 00:06:13.360
came out it blew people's minds with how realistic

00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:17.040
it looked how the the actors for the apes looked

00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:19.160
realistic and everything and different animals

00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:23.699
how to them it was the pinnacle of science fiction

00:06:23.699 --> 00:06:25.699
at the time and won almost every award you could

00:06:25.699 --> 00:06:27.040
think of it was one of the most decorated movies

00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.899
of all time has it aged very well yeah it's done

00:06:29.899 --> 00:06:33.740
decently actually it's not terrible but the point

00:06:33.740 --> 00:06:36.819
i'm getting at is that was a movie that it was

00:06:36.819 --> 00:06:40.319
compared to modern movies much slower paced it

00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:43.540
was more story driven it the audience had a lot

00:06:43.540 --> 00:06:45.920
more patience when getting to things there were

00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:47.220
moments where you just would kind of sit there

00:06:47.220 --> 00:06:51.459
and watch stuff unfold very slowly it comes from

00:06:51.459 --> 00:06:54.300
an era again movies before like i would say probably

00:06:54.300 --> 00:06:57.259
the 1890s or early 2000s it comes from a moment

00:06:57.259 --> 00:07:00.620
to where a lot of movies you could simply enjoy

00:07:01.709 --> 00:07:04.250
The movie as a whole and that in that moment

00:07:04.250 --> 00:07:06.129
in time, you are watching a movie and that's

00:07:06.129 --> 00:07:08.449
the fun of it. There's no extended political

00:07:08.449 --> 00:07:11.430
message, nothing that's trying to wow you in

00:07:11.430 --> 00:07:14.389
terms of like, I'm going to call this out like

00:07:14.389 --> 00:07:16.009
a Michael Bay thing where bigger explosions,

00:07:16.209 --> 00:07:19.470
bigger bone blazer. It's not trying to overwhelm

00:07:19.470 --> 00:07:21.069
your senses, I believe is the point I'm trying

00:07:21.069 --> 00:07:24.490
to get at. It used to send a message or just

00:07:24.490 --> 00:07:26.310
sometimes it was a happy story. Like, for example,

00:07:26.310 --> 00:07:28.509
one of my favorite movies ever, The Princess

00:07:28.509 --> 00:07:31.509
Bride. I still believe it's one of the top movies

00:07:31.509 --> 00:07:33.009
ever, not because of the budget, not because

00:07:33.009 --> 00:07:34.550
of special effects, not because of the acting

00:07:34.550 --> 00:07:36.430
or anything. Just the story. It's just a good

00:07:36.430 --> 00:07:39.610
story. It's a great story. And that's it. And

00:07:39.610 --> 00:07:41.709
that's fundamentally, at least for humans, when

00:07:41.709 --> 00:07:43.069
we're going down the movie side, we have other

00:07:43.069 --> 00:07:46.269
stuff to get to as well. But in the movies, this

00:07:46.269 --> 00:07:49.470
is what's been lost is every single sequel has

00:07:49.470 --> 00:07:52.250
to be bigger, better, faster, whatever. And they

00:07:52.250 --> 00:07:55.430
get more ridiculous. They get more out of control.

00:07:56.340 --> 00:07:59.459
And let's not forget that 2001 Space Odyssey

00:07:59.459 --> 00:08:04.720
also helped to prove the film and video techniques

00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:10.420
to allow for the moon landing. All right, all

00:08:10.420 --> 00:08:13.379
right, you had me there. I was like, see, I thought

00:08:13.379 --> 00:08:14.439
you were going to go with the realm of, you know,

00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:15.879
you were proving that eventually AI is going

00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:17.279
to be a real thing, and they were talking about

00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:20.819
AI in that movie. Well, that too, but, you know,

00:08:20.819 --> 00:08:24.720
I wanted to put the moon landing conspiracy out

00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:27.660
there. We landed on the moon. There's no way

00:08:27.660 --> 00:08:30.199
we did. Yes, we did. There's no way we did not

00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:34.460
land on the moon. We had to have. I can absolutely

00:08:34.460 --> 00:08:38.480
understand the reason people say that we didn't.

00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:44.059
Yeah. But we did. Oh, we did. Now, the reason

00:08:44.059 --> 00:08:45.980
why we haven't gone back, that's an entirely

00:08:45.980 --> 00:08:48.720
different thing. I think that's way more of an

00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:53.600
interpretation. But going back to the movie side,

00:08:53.700 --> 00:08:56.899
the entertainment side of it. It's one of those

00:08:56.899 --> 00:08:59.720
things where movies used to be something where

00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.539
I don't want to say it was like a passion project,

00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:06.000
but typically people that were intelligent, interested,

00:09:06.379 --> 00:09:10.580
well -read, understood, talented, or passionate

00:09:10.580 --> 00:09:13.840
about these topics were involved. Smart people

00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.240
put time and effort into it and their heart.

00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.440
Yeah. Look at, I would think, for example, again,

00:09:20.460 --> 00:09:23.240
look at Star Wars. I'm not like the biggest Star

00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:25.929
Wars guy. Like I do like it. And I will, I will

00:09:25.929 --> 00:09:27.850
shit on star Trek later as a star Trek lover.

00:09:27.929 --> 00:09:31.370
Don't get me wrong, but even with star Wars,

00:09:31.450 --> 00:09:34.629
it's not the most well -made movie ever, but

00:09:34.629 --> 00:09:37.929
it is a story that people can relate to or understand.

00:09:38.029 --> 00:09:41.350
And it's meant to tell a fun, interesting and

00:09:41.350 --> 00:09:44.909
engaging story. It's not overly complex. It's

00:09:44.909 --> 00:09:47.929
not overly simple. It's just down the road middle.

00:09:48.009 --> 00:09:51.669
And that's what most people enjoy our stories

00:09:51.669 --> 00:09:55.649
like that. And unfortunately, nowadays, go to

00:09:55.649 --> 00:09:57.009
the movies and try to find something like that.

00:09:57.090 --> 00:10:01.350
Try to find even a movie that is, I would say,

00:10:01.409 --> 00:10:04.330
PG friendly that isn't catered towards kids.

00:10:04.450 --> 00:10:06.990
It's this weird dichotomy where either it's a

00:10:06.990 --> 00:10:12.350
child movie or it's X rated. It's because it's

00:10:12.350 --> 00:10:15.409
gone to this big extreme. And for most people,

00:10:15.409 --> 00:10:18.950
it's just very off putting. Even the rating system

00:10:18.950 --> 00:10:23.309
has been revised to where. what was PG 13 back

00:10:23.309 --> 00:10:28.409
in the nineties would, uh, qualify as like G

00:10:28.409 --> 00:10:32.190
rated now. Really? And what's PG rated or what's

00:10:32.190 --> 00:10:34.750
PG 13 now would basically be rated R back in

00:10:34.750 --> 00:10:39.629
the nineties. I didn't know that actually. Yeah.

00:10:39.710 --> 00:10:44.529
If, if you watch what was allowed back then versus

00:10:44.529 --> 00:10:49.309
what was allowed now, there is such a big shift.

00:10:50.129 --> 00:10:53.789
in the allowable amounts of language gore and

00:10:53.789 --> 00:11:00.850
violence in today's shows and movies versus 80s

00:11:00.850 --> 00:11:04.909
90s early 2000s you know now that you make that

00:11:04.909 --> 00:11:07.649
point i i think in terms like the violence and

00:11:07.649 --> 00:11:10.629
the gore part that's that's really changed now

00:11:10.629 --> 00:11:12.009
that i really sit here and think about that because

00:11:12.009 --> 00:11:15.710
that part again i i'm only 30 so like i'm not

00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.080
I wasn't around during the nineties to see movies

00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.120
out at the movie theater. Right. I don't really,

00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.419
I didn't get to see the change, but going and

00:11:22.419 --> 00:11:23.879
watching those older movies and thinking about

00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:26.580
it, you're right. Yeah. I mean, think about Jurassic

00:11:26.580 --> 00:11:28.799
park. I'm sure you've watched that one. Oh yeah.

00:11:28.860 --> 00:11:30.620
I remember going to the theaters and seeing that

00:11:30.620 --> 00:11:32.519
and thinking, Oh my God, this is so awesome.

00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:36.419
Oh, that's so bloody and gory. And now you can

00:11:36.419 --> 00:11:41.679
go see terrifier in theaters. Yeah. which i was

00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:45.740
just introduced to that a few weeks ago honestly

00:11:45.740 --> 00:11:48.159
kind of i will admit the facial expressions kind

00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:51.639
of funny very memeable i will admit oh dude uh

00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:55.559
art the clown is quite memeable i hate the movies

00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:59.600
they're so poorly written and acted but art the

00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:02.639
clown is a solid character that that's the only

00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.019
reason everything else is terrible but i started

00:12:05.019 --> 00:12:07.580
watching it i was like wow this sucks but in

00:12:07.580 --> 00:12:11.519
almost a good way yeah it's almost like um right

00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:13.460
it's like donnie darko i don't know if you ever

00:12:13.460 --> 00:12:16.100
saw that one well it's so bad it's almost good

00:12:16.100 --> 00:12:20.220
that same kind of yeah but yeah getting back

00:12:20.220 --> 00:12:23.860
on the movie track um movies that kind of like

00:12:23.860 --> 00:12:27.080
set the bar and then other movies tried to match

00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:29.440
it i'll i'll touch on some of the more recent

00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:32.940
ones uh everybody's favorite interstellar uh

00:12:32.940 --> 00:12:37.539
also the martian oh those are two movies where

00:12:38.059 --> 00:12:40.259
Matt Damon had to be rescued in both of them.

00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:45.340
But let's add a third one, Saving Private Ryan.

00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:47.679
All three of those movies, Matt Damon had to

00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:52.759
be rescued in. All three of those movies, really,

00:12:52.940 --> 00:12:56.460
for when they came out, those years, set the

00:12:56.460 --> 00:13:00.340
bar so fucking high because they were so well

00:13:00.340 --> 00:13:05.139
done. And then other movies that tried to kind

00:13:05.139 --> 00:13:09.759
of latch onto that. a coattail and and kind of

00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:13.899
copy a little bit just fell so short it's because

00:13:13.899 --> 00:13:15.740
those movies are believable in the world they

00:13:15.740 --> 00:13:18.240
are well researched they are well thought out

00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.639
i even assume it's like a movie critic because

00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:23.659
i love to criticize movies and like point out

00:13:23.659 --> 00:13:26.700
plot holes and issues um the martian is a hard

00:13:26.700 --> 00:13:28.379
one for me to critique it's even saving private

00:13:28.379 --> 00:13:32.059
ryan as like a military movie guy it is one of

00:13:32.059 --> 00:13:35.299
the best military that hacksaw ridge i just Oh

00:13:35.299 --> 00:13:38.419
yeah. Every time I watch them, I'm in awe. It's,

00:13:38.460 --> 00:13:40.799
it's so well done, but that's because you had

00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:43.480
dozens and dozens and not hundreds of people

00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:47.539
that were very passionate, very skilled, and

00:13:47.539 --> 00:13:49.759
they were super into it and knowledgeable about

00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:53.000
the topic. You're talking about another movie.

00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:55.379
I have to point out something like avatar. That

00:13:55.379 --> 00:13:58.519
first one that set box office records at the

00:13:58.519 --> 00:13:59.879
first, the more, the first, I think it was like

00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:03.139
the first billion dollar movie. Oh, the blue

00:14:03.139 --> 00:14:06.320
ones. Yeah. Yes. The Blue People. Yes. Don't

00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.860
get me wrong. The cartoon is fantastic. Yeah,

00:14:09.860 --> 00:14:11.700
I was going to say they didn't do a movie of

00:14:11.700 --> 00:14:14.360
the cartoon. No, no, but I mean the Blue People

00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:20.039
one. That one. Amazing movie. I still think the

00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:21.600
other Matt Damon ones are better, although I'm

00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:23.840
kind of realizing that I don't even look at Matt

00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:25.379
Damon in terms of going on my way to see his

00:14:25.379 --> 00:14:27.120
movies, but apparently I watch all his movies.

00:14:27.580 --> 00:14:31.299
Right. And quick side note. Yes, I am fully well

00:14:31.299 --> 00:14:34.120
aware of the. fan fiction movie that was made

00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:38.159
of Avatar The Last Airbender. That does not count.

00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:40.500
It does not exist. It is not a real movie. No.

00:14:41.220 --> 00:14:49.399
There is no war in Ba Sing Se. But, yeah, there's

00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:51.340
just that overarching continuing trend of just

00:14:51.340 --> 00:14:53.440
putting, like, the first Avatar took, what, like,

00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:56.059
it was like eight or ten years? Oh, yeah. And

00:14:56.059 --> 00:14:58.899
the second one, like, fifteen. Yeah, the second

00:14:58.899 --> 00:15:01.519
one sucked, though, in comparison. Yeah, it was

00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.039
garbage. I honestly didn't even finish it. But

00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:08.100
you know what's crazy is the shift of the movies

00:15:08.100 --> 00:15:10.379
really ever since I would say like 2014, 2015,

00:15:10.779 --> 00:15:16.820
2016. Let me ask you this. Have you noticed the

00:15:16.820 --> 00:15:20.120
big movie shift ever since Avengers Endgame?

00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.279
What I was going to say is I feel like the Marvel

00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.139
Cinematic Universe has unfortunately ruined all

00:15:28.139 --> 00:15:30.860
other sci -fi action and even a lot of comedy.

00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.110
Yeah. Because that formula that they developed

00:15:34.110 --> 00:15:37.929
for that universe was so uniquely good. It was

00:15:37.929 --> 00:15:40.889
fun for everybody. It was relatable. They had

00:15:40.889 --> 00:15:43.789
the best writers, the best actors and actresses,

00:15:43.789 --> 00:15:46.129
and they had a coherent storyline because this

00:15:46.129 --> 00:15:48.750
was already done, you know, 40, 50 years ago,

00:15:48.789 --> 00:15:51.210
by the way, for the most part. And they can just

00:15:51.210 --> 00:15:53.309
make little edits and tweaks as they needed to.

00:15:53.389 --> 00:15:54.970
But all the hard work was already done for them.

00:15:55.389 --> 00:15:58.629
Yeah. Which is kind of insane when you think

00:15:58.629 --> 00:16:01.840
about it, because. It seems like Hollywood lately

00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.259
can't write a good movie to save their lives.

00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:06.340
If you look at any of the recent movies that

00:16:06.340 --> 00:16:09.820
are purely 100 % created by Hollywood, they all

00:16:09.820 --> 00:16:12.679
suck. They're all terrible. Nobody likes them.

00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:15.580
Nobody does. Except the critics, which are paid

00:16:15.580 --> 00:16:18.240
to like them. Yeah, well, just look at Rotten

00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:21.080
Tomatoes. I never look at the critic reviews

00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:25.879
because they're useless. God, no. But where we're

00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:28.220
going with this discussion is there was a point.

00:16:28.970 --> 00:16:34.029
To where I hate to say it this way. I think the

00:16:34.029 --> 00:16:38.549
critical, the, the might, what might be one of

00:16:38.549 --> 00:16:42.289
the greatest, I would say pieces of entertainment

00:16:42.289 --> 00:16:45.009
history and human history is going to be those

00:16:45.009 --> 00:16:47.409
last five or 10 movies of the Marvel cinematic

00:16:47.409 --> 00:16:51.029
universe leading up to end game and having one

00:16:51.029 --> 00:16:53.370
of the greatest, if not the greatest cinematic

00:16:53.370 --> 00:16:57.919
movie of a moment of all time. And then everything

00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:01.200
else since then seems to pale in comparison.

00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.519
There is nothing even close. And unfortunately,

00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:07.640
they are a victim of their own success. Because

00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.819
the problem is everything else is trying to rip

00:17:10.819 --> 00:17:12.980
it off. Everything else is trying to rip off

00:17:12.980 --> 00:17:15.940
that moment. And nothing feels genuine. They're

00:17:15.940 --> 00:17:18.700
not willing to take the risk because here's a

00:17:18.700 --> 00:17:21.960
big problem. Most movie development companies

00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:24.200
or really production companies, they're all just

00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:26.700
basically fronts for investment firms. So the

00:17:26.700 --> 00:17:29.140
problem is they put up $200 million. They have

00:17:29.140 --> 00:17:31.079
a movie. They get these actors and actresses.

00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:32.680
They say, hey, we can pull in about $300 million

00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:34.799
of revenue. So out of that $200 million movie,

00:17:34.900 --> 00:17:36.079
we're going to add an additional $100 million

00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:40.220
in merchandising and advertising. And we make

00:17:40.220 --> 00:17:42.180
our money back. We make some profit. Good. On

00:17:42.180 --> 00:17:45.019
to the next one. Unfortunately, in the movie

00:17:45.019 --> 00:17:46.900
industry or the entertainment, this goes for

00:17:46.900 --> 00:17:49.440
TV shows and everything else, so much of it is

00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:52.160
no longer about the product. The product is no

00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:55.720
longer the movie. The product is you as the consumer.

00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:58.279
The product is you sitting down and paying to

00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:00.579
watch it in the theater. They don't care if it's

00:18:00.579 --> 00:18:03.420
good. As long as you go to see it. Or on your

00:18:03.420 --> 00:18:07.599
streaming platform. Yeah. Did you see? I don't

00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:09.980
know if you saw this. I saw somebody. There's

00:18:09.980 --> 00:18:12.640
a new bundle, which is basically the same as

00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.539
cable, where it's like Hulu, Disney, and ESPN.

00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:20.700
It was like $86 a month with ads. Gross. With

00:18:20.700 --> 00:18:23.920
ads. At least give me the lube for free. Like,

00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:27.460
fucking Christ, are you kidding me? I was wondering

00:18:27.460 --> 00:18:28.880
how long it would take for us to get back to

00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:31.619
the cable bundles. Yo, ho, ho, I'm a pirate.

00:18:31.940 --> 00:18:34.339
Like, out of the tunnel. I'm not paying that.

00:18:34.900 --> 00:18:37.059
And I have so many people that aren't. No way.

00:18:38.619 --> 00:18:40.400
They're screwing themselves out of the market.

00:18:41.579 --> 00:18:43.759
Sorry with that little sidetrack, but I just

00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:46.519
had to. No, what sucks is that you've got guys

00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:50.099
like me that have kids, or people like me. Women

00:18:50.099 --> 00:18:55.890
do, too. Obviously. Hey, it's 2025. You never

00:18:55.890 --> 00:19:01.750
know how it is. Don't get me started. The younger

00:19:01.750 --> 00:19:06.710
ones don't have the technical prowess to get

00:19:06.710 --> 00:19:09.509
on the Internet and go to the black hat sites

00:19:09.509 --> 00:19:15.029
to obtain the materials for free without getting

00:19:15.029 --> 00:19:19.750
their computer destroyed or infected. So that's

00:19:19.750 --> 00:19:22.250
a lost art almost. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, we're

00:19:22.250 --> 00:19:25.410
going to be the OG pirates. Right? You know?

00:19:25.589 --> 00:19:28.170
Set sail on the high seas, buddy. Oh, that's

00:19:28.170 --> 00:19:31.069
why VPN and a few other things. But it's going

00:19:31.069 --> 00:19:36.170
to be the problem going forward, as I'm noticing.

00:19:37.269 --> 00:19:39.509
If you look at, for instance, what happened in

00:19:39.509 --> 00:19:43.529
Star Wars in the last 15 years. Oh, yeah. Let

00:19:43.529 --> 00:19:48.789
me just say the original three will always be

00:19:48.789 --> 00:19:52.339
the air quote best ones. Empire Strikes Back,

00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:56.079
probably my all -time personal favorite. Revenge

00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:59.019
of the Sith is probably the only other one that's

00:19:59.019 --> 00:20:04.400
like a close tie. Everybody loves Darth Vader.

00:20:04.539 --> 00:20:06.500
Everybody wants more Darth Vader. We're finally

00:20:06.500 --> 00:20:10.579
getting Lord Vader, hopefully. I really hope

00:20:10.579 --> 00:20:14.240
they don't cock that one up and let's see what

00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:18.759
they do with it. The passion projects that have

00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:20.990
been done for Vader over the years, There was

00:20:20.990 --> 00:20:24.029
a guy out of, I believe Canada that runs a YouTube

00:20:24.029 --> 00:20:29.170
channel. He put his own money into that and shot

00:20:29.170 --> 00:20:32.589
like a pretty reasonably well done half hour

00:20:32.589 --> 00:20:37.009
episode. That was just pure fan fiction of like

00:20:37.009 --> 00:20:41.009
a Vader type episode. Disney put the kibosh on

00:20:41.009 --> 00:20:43.269
it. They were like, Hey, this is too good. We

00:20:43.269 --> 00:20:46.210
don't want you making money off of this. So he

00:20:46.210 --> 00:20:48.789
was like, well, okay, can I just show it if I

00:20:48.789 --> 00:20:52.240
don't make money? And they were like, Yes. But

00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:54.059
if you do make money, it has to go to us. Yeah.

00:20:55.700 --> 00:20:57.640
That just shows you where the priorities are.

00:20:57.700 --> 00:21:00.720
The last three movies just need stricken from

00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:04.880
the record, deleted, destroyed, never to be spoken

00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:09.619
of again, and reshot. So the only recent movie

00:21:09.619 --> 00:21:12.980
that's good is Rogue One. Rogue One was fucking

00:21:12.980 --> 00:21:16.039
awesome, especially the last goddamn few minutes

00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:20.960
with Vader. It is what tickles. The funny bone

00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:24.740
that is Saving Private Ryan. Yes. It finally,

00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:28.319
for the first time, showed Star Wars how it should

00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:32.500
always have been, I think, from day one. I really

00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:40.799
think. What? All right. Oh, anyways. So, it's

00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:45.839
one of those things where I really wish that

00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:47.920
they would have invested more into the Rogue

00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:52.009
One. style star wars for the more adult audience

00:21:52.009 --> 00:21:56.750
and for really how movies are nowadays where

00:21:56.750 --> 00:21:59.509
they're a little bit more gruesome or gory or

00:21:59.509 --> 00:22:01.589
a little bit more realistic in some ways in terms

00:22:01.589 --> 00:22:04.769
of any sort of military confrontation violence

00:22:04.769 --> 00:22:08.089
that type of thing yes and that was that was

00:22:08.089 --> 00:22:10.630
one thing i loved about episode three oh yeah

00:22:10.630 --> 00:22:14.650
like the combat scenes The choreography, the

00:22:14.650 --> 00:22:17.309
lightsaber choreography is the best they've ever

00:22:17.309 --> 00:22:22.430
done it. Nothing's ever topped it. The AI assisted

00:22:22.430 --> 00:22:27.569
remake of the lightsaber battle between Obi -Wan

00:22:27.569 --> 00:22:32.309
and Vader from episode four. Better. Oh, so much

00:22:32.309 --> 00:22:35.130
better. I really wish that somebody would do

00:22:35.130 --> 00:22:37.450
a fucking remake of episode four and just like

00:22:37.450 --> 00:22:40.529
splice that in. Oh, yeah. That scene is just

00:22:40.529 --> 00:22:45.539
so perfect. Oh. um but that's but also as far

00:22:45.539 --> 00:22:48.400
as sorry to step on your on your pp a second

00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:53.880
uh the animated series of star wars is really

00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:57.920
fucking well done i loved that set it was so

00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:00.380
good did you watch the bad even spawned the bad

00:23:00.380 --> 00:23:03.359
batch i'll be ready to say that is such a really

00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:07.500
well done it touches on a lot of stuff that folks

00:23:07.500 --> 00:23:09.869
in the younger crowd watching that stuff aren't

00:23:09.869 --> 00:23:12.930
going to see a whole lot of like quality content

00:23:12.930 --> 00:23:17.250
of yeah bad batch is really fucking good it has

00:23:17.250 --> 00:23:19.089
such an excellent message without trying to beat

00:23:19.089 --> 00:23:21.849
you over the head with it yeah and that's that's

00:23:21.849 --> 00:23:24.009
what i enjoy with it i i enjoy movies that have

00:23:24.009 --> 00:23:25.650
more of a subtle message rather than trying to

00:23:25.650 --> 00:23:28.170
tell you you know this is overtly right this

00:23:28.170 --> 00:23:30.069
is overtly wrong you just kind of get to follow

00:23:30.069 --> 00:23:32.970
along with a fun story and and from perspective

00:23:32.970 --> 00:23:37.029
it's one of those yeah it it's one of those um

00:23:38.220 --> 00:23:40.539
The animated series is one of those deals where

00:23:40.539 --> 00:23:44.460
they tell the whole story and they don't, like,

00:23:44.500 --> 00:23:51.619
force push people from the, what is it, LGBTQI,

00:23:51.859 --> 00:23:55.240
LMNOP, plus, minus, asterisk, division, thorn,

00:23:55.400 --> 00:24:02.079
parentheses, people. So. It's nice that it's

00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:05.279
just about the happenings that's in Star Wars

00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:08.000
without pushing modern politics into it. Because

00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:12.720
that was the problem with Kathleen Kennedy's

00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:17.859
Star Wars. She was so concerned with pushing

00:24:17.859 --> 00:24:21.000
certain political movements that it sacrificed

00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:25.880
plot points in the movie. So much so that they

00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:28.039
even changed how physics works, how certain things

00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:30.980
worked in the Star Wars universe just to satisfy

00:24:30.980 --> 00:24:34.099
her political message. And it really undermined

00:24:34.099 --> 00:24:37.720
the entirety of the story. the reality is i'm

00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:39.299
not somebody that's like super invested in star

00:24:39.299 --> 00:24:42.559
wars like i like it but however i'm not gonna

00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:44.380
be someone that's like oh my god it sucks that

00:24:44.380 --> 00:24:45.980
they ruined everything but the only reason i

00:24:45.980 --> 00:24:49.140
complain is because all you have to do is watch

00:24:49.140 --> 00:24:51.579
the the other movies to understand your ground

00:24:51.579 --> 00:24:54.140
rules all you have to do is sit there and mind

00:24:54.140 --> 00:24:56.940
you if you're gonna actually i don't know be

00:24:56.940 --> 00:25:01.099
the director of a movie and there's been like

00:25:01.099 --> 00:25:04.890
six previous movies You would think, oh, all

00:25:04.890 --> 00:25:06.670
I have to do. You've got some solid groundwork.

00:25:07.069 --> 00:25:09.630
It's pretty simple. It's easily lined out. You

00:25:09.630 --> 00:25:13.150
know what you can and can't do. And imaginary

00:25:13.150 --> 00:25:16.170
watchers going, wow, none of this fucking matters.

00:25:16.329 --> 00:25:18.750
And putting it in the trash can. And then saying,

00:25:18.849 --> 00:25:21.849
I'm just going to do what I want. No. That's

00:25:21.849 --> 00:25:24.150
especially something that's as beloved as something

00:25:24.150 --> 00:25:27.950
like Star Wars. Or even, God forbid, for what

00:25:27.950 --> 00:25:29.990
they did to Star Trek for a little bit. Same

00:25:29.990 --> 00:25:33.950
thing. It's one of those things to where. You

00:25:33.950 --> 00:25:37.970
have to stay within what makes sense in that

00:25:37.970 --> 00:25:40.690
universe. Because if there are no rules and nothing's

00:25:40.690 --> 00:25:43.150
built, then nothing matters. And that's the problem

00:25:43.150 --> 00:25:46.089
with recent Marvel. Where because of the multiverse

00:25:46.089 --> 00:25:47.769
where there are no rules and nothing matters,

00:25:47.970 --> 00:25:52.650
why would you care? If actions do not have consequences

00:25:52.650 --> 00:25:56.130
in movies, why are you going to watch it? Why

00:25:56.130 --> 00:25:58.109
are you going to get invested? Because you know

00:25:58.109 --> 00:26:00.150
they can just come back or disappear or reappear

00:26:00.150 --> 00:26:02.500
or suddenly do whatever. i think it's one of

00:26:02.500 --> 00:26:05.059
those things where we as humans we live linear

00:26:05.059 --> 00:26:08.079
where all of our actions have consequences a

00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:11.680
to b b to c if you watch the multiverse theory

00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.200
fucked that i can't relate to it how am i supposed

00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:18.299
to relate to that as someone you know like again

00:26:18.299 --> 00:26:22.200
at the end of endgame spoilers i'll have to say

00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:24.559
that because there's got to be one person like

00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:27.200
oh there's spoilers but at the end at the end

00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:31.170
of endgame when tony finally dies after all those

00:26:31.170 --> 00:26:33.890
years, all those movies, all of that time, those

00:26:33.890 --> 00:26:36.609
20, 30 hours I've spent in the movie theater

00:26:36.609 --> 00:26:38.890
and the countless hours I spent watching the

00:26:38.890 --> 00:26:41.069
TV shows with him finally dying and being gone.

00:26:42.589 --> 00:26:46.970
That gravity of like, wow. You lost the heart

00:26:46.970 --> 00:26:48.789
of it. What are we going to do? How are we going

00:26:48.789 --> 00:26:50.589
to rebuild? How are you going to? All of that

00:26:50.589 --> 00:26:52.890
has been completely taken away by going to the

00:26:52.890 --> 00:26:55.650
multiverse, especially now, as much as I like

00:26:55.650 --> 00:26:57.849
the, I love the idea of him being Dr. Doom. and

00:26:57.849 --> 00:27:00.490
go in that route, which looks really cool, I

00:27:00.490 --> 00:27:02.369
still have to juxtapose it with, yeah, but he's

00:27:02.369 --> 00:27:07.569
not dead. Yeah. So, it's the problem not just

00:27:07.569 --> 00:27:10.750
with Marvel, but with almost every single movie

00:27:10.750 --> 00:27:13.730
series. Look at them rebooting all of the old

00:27:13.730 --> 00:27:16.789
stuff. Anything that was previously done. It's

00:27:16.789 --> 00:27:19.269
rather than doing a new idea or a new topic or

00:27:19.269 --> 00:27:21.690
a continuation, everything is, oh, let's reboot

00:27:21.690 --> 00:27:24.470
it and do a prequel. Or let's reboot it and just

00:27:24.470 --> 00:27:26.769
do the same thing over again. for copyright issues

00:27:26.769 --> 00:27:29.710
or to keep intellectual property on or anything

00:27:29.710 --> 00:27:33.450
else like that. Unfortunately, it's very boring

00:27:33.450 --> 00:27:40.869
and very lazy. Mm -hmm. Yeah, and like you said

00:27:40.869 --> 00:27:42.970
with Star Trek, what they did with Discovery.

00:27:45.710 --> 00:27:48.589
I am so mad with that. I have refused to watch

00:27:48.589 --> 00:27:54.720
Discovery on principle. I will say. Lower Decks

00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:58.940
has been awesome. The animated show. I will say

00:27:58.940 --> 00:28:00.859
Picard was really good. I'll give them that.

00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:05.640
Picard was good. And Star Trek Strange New Worlds.

00:28:05.900 --> 00:28:08.859
That one I haven't done yet. Aside from a couple

00:28:08.859 --> 00:28:11.799
of episodes that it turns out even most of the

00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:14.380
fan base didn't give a whole lot of shits about.

00:28:15.660 --> 00:28:24.829
The Star Trek universe that has been Coming from

00:28:24.829 --> 00:28:31.690
the Paramount Studios, I think. Has been more

00:28:31.690 --> 00:28:34.549
or less pretty solid. Yeah. Strange New Worlds.

00:28:34.650 --> 00:28:36.930
The new season comes out here in a few months.

00:28:37.309 --> 00:28:42.670
I am very much anticipating that. Captain Pike,

00:28:42.930 --> 00:28:46.650
Anson Mount. He is a gorgeous, beautiful man.

00:28:47.349 --> 00:28:50.750
He is. He is on my list. Apparently, I have a

00:28:50.750 --> 00:28:55.109
list because. Neil deGrasse Tyson is also on

00:28:55.109 --> 00:28:57.670
that list, as well as Terry Crews, apparently.

00:28:59.470 --> 00:29:02.930
These are beautiful men, okay? I am a straight

00:29:02.930 --> 00:29:06.650
man, but those are my men. Neil deGrasse Tyson?

00:29:07.589 --> 00:29:10.250
He is a beautiful, sweet, sweet chocolate man

00:29:10.250 --> 00:29:12.750
who could put me to sleep just by talking about

00:29:12.750 --> 00:29:15.750
astrophysics, okay? Have you ever listened to

00:29:15.750 --> 00:29:19.309
him talk the way that he can just soothe your

00:29:19.309 --> 00:29:23.809
soul to sleep? It is so entrancing. You mean

00:29:23.809 --> 00:29:26.769
Morgan Freeman? No, Neil deGrasse Tyson, the

00:29:26.769 --> 00:29:32.230
astrophysicist. All right, that was a flashback

00:29:32.230 --> 00:29:36.410
of sentences you said to me. I'm surprised you

00:29:36.410 --> 00:29:38.670
were glazing Neil deGrasse Tyson there. That

00:29:38.670 --> 00:29:42.950
was surprising. I wasn't expecting that. He is

00:29:42.950 --> 00:29:45.309
a sweet, sweet, beautiful chocolate man. He is

00:29:45.309 --> 00:29:47.650
awesome. He is amazing. Yes, commercial science

00:29:47.650 --> 00:29:57.480
man, yes. Fair enough. God, I got all hot and

00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:01.480
bothered. I lost my place. I would agree with

00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:03.119
you that Star Trek, at least they've done better.

00:30:03.980 --> 00:30:07.740
I did say Discovery. I was very pissed with how

00:30:07.740 --> 00:30:09.539
they changed the Klingons and how they did a

00:30:09.539 --> 00:30:12.819
few other things. I got the very loose reasoning,

00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:18.079
but it was stupid. I'm sorry. But inverting that,

00:30:18.180 --> 00:30:20.740
looking at what they did with Picard by continuing

00:30:20.740 --> 00:30:23.859
the story, about asking people that were involved

00:30:23.859 --> 00:30:26.440
in Next Generation and Star Trek, about getting

00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:28.680
writers involved and people that were into it

00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:30.640
and also the original actors and actresses and

00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:33.019
continuing that. That is the proper way to do

00:30:33.019 --> 00:30:35.000
it. You're not trying to reinvent the wheel.

00:30:35.059 --> 00:30:37.180
You're just continuing the same story by making

00:30:37.180 --> 00:30:40.039
it, the entire thing loop into it being all about

00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:42.480
one person the entire time that was always his

00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:47.390
story. cherry on top thank you that's how it

00:30:47.390 --> 00:30:49.349
should have been done that was satisfying that

00:30:49.349 --> 00:30:52.690
was correctly done that was awesome yeah letting

00:30:52.690 --> 00:30:56.309
stories have a nice happy ending because realistically

00:30:56.309 --> 00:31:02.569
the last episode of next generation it was good

00:31:02.569 --> 00:31:07.170
but it didn't quite cinch it up you know there

00:31:07.170 --> 00:31:11.650
were still some things left on the table well

00:31:11.650 --> 00:31:13.269
that was one of those things where unfortunately

00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:16.539
they didn't know where to go with it. And at

00:31:16.539 --> 00:31:18.240
that point they were kind of focusing more on

00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:22.140
DS nine of Voyager. And it was kind of, I'll

00:31:22.140 --> 00:31:25.140
be honest. I like Voyager. I like Voyager a lot.

00:31:25.220 --> 00:31:29.519
I know why you watch Voyager. Hey, she could

00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:35.359
assimilate me anytime. That is how I knew I was

00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:42.039
becoming a man when I was 12. It was her and

00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:43.980
Padme where I was like, oh, yeah, I'm definitely

00:31:43.980 --> 00:31:48.299
straight. I was like, yeah, yeah. No questions.

00:31:49.079 --> 00:31:58.680
Oh, Lord. But, you know, not just with movies

00:31:58.680 --> 00:32:02.259
and TV shows, but. We can touch on music just

00:32:02.259 --> 00:32:06.220
a bit. The music scene has changed quite a bit

00:32:06.220 --> 00:32:10.940
over the years. What used to take people months

00:32:10.940 --> 00:32:15.559
sometimes to write a song, they can type up a

00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:19.160
few bits of lyrics and just kind of say the same

00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:24.460
thing over and over. And that's the whole song.

00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:26.799
Wasn't there like a song that came out in the

00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:28.559
past couple years that was literally like five

00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:32.259
words the whole song? So, okay, now you're getting

00:32:32.259 --> 00:32:35.759
into my realm of bullshit. Yes, I wanted to slip

00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:39.279
this one into your realm. This topic enrages

00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:46.460
me. So, there was a time when writing and recording

00:32:46.460 --> 00:32:50.660
and producing a song took a lot of effort, time,

00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:57.200
dedication. That was before the majority of pop

00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:01.609
songs. are now produced and written by the same

00:33:01.609 --> 00:33:04.470
handful of people i don't know if anyone in the

00:33:04.470 --> 00:33:08.390
audience is aware of this the same 13 to 20 people

00:33:08.390 --> 00:33:12.589
write every single one of the top songs or top

00:33:12.589 --> 00:33:15.529
pop artist songs all of them the top 100 i'm

00:33:15.529 --> 00:33:17.690
willing to bet you 80 of those are produced by

00:33:17.690 --> 00:33:21.589
the same 12 to 15 people almost all of them most

00:33:21.589 --> 00:33:23.589
any of the big pop artists you see they don't

00:33:23.589 --> 00:33:26.490
write their own songs all of them are outsourced

00:33:26.859 --> 00:33:28.700
And you know what all of them are run by? They're

00:33:28.700 --> 00:33:31.059
run by individuals that own production companies

00:33:31.059 --> 00:33:33.579
or media companies. And they do research to figure

00:33:33.579 --> 00:33:35.980
out what's the in -trend thing this year. What's

00:33:35.980 --> 00:33:38.440
going to be the in -thing? There's this famous

00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:42.740
thing called the millennial whoop. Is that like

00:33:42.740 --> 00:33:47.180
from Arsenio Hall? No. Unfortunately, no. Do

00:33:47.180 --> 00:33:49.440
you remember how songs back in the mid -2000s

00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:51.740
did like the, oh, wow, oh, wow, oh, wow. All

00:33:51.740 --> 00:33:53.859
the songs had those. That was a thing they created.

00:33:54.420 --> 00:33:57.500
They purposely did it. With the idea of, wow,

00:33:57.660 --> 00:33:59.480
we're going to make all these songs have the

00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:02.019
same catchy thing. And we're going to continue

00:34:02.019 --> 00:34:04.380
doing it. And that's how they got people to get

00:34:04.380 --> 00:34:06.700
into songs that weren't even that good. Because,

00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:11.800
oh, they had the catch. Mind control. Well, again,

00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:17.260
the CIA strikes again, you know, with their research.

00:34:17.420 --> 00:34:21.440
That's just more proof that the Illuminati were

00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:23.659
involved in all that. Well, we're getting to

00:34:23.659 --> 00:34:25.659
that point a little bit. Yeah, buddy. Because

00:34:25.659 --> 00:34:28.579
that's why I turned it over to you. Yes. But

00:34:28.579 --> 00:34:33.619
the point I want to get at is, unfortunately,

00:34:33.699 --> 00:34:36.860
most pop songs and really a lot of popular songs

00:34:36.860 --> 00:34:38.960
on the radio, they're only going off of trends.

00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:42.960
That's all it is. And number two, the other problem

00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:46.019
is there used to be a time where songs... well

00:34:46.019 --> 00:34:48.920
it's mostly shit now there there was a time where

00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:52.079
a song would either tell a story elicit an emotion

00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:56.539
elicit a reaction it would affect you some way

00:34:56.539 --> 00:35:02.280
emotionally and then you have songs like wop

00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:09.679
by cardi b yeah that's uh yeah and maybe maybe

00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:13.690
it's because i'm becoming an old man slowly We

00:35:13.690 --> 00:35:16.050
can't play Baby It's Cold Outside on the radio,

00:35:16.250 --> 00:35:21.369
but we can play WAP. This is part of my problem.

00:35:22.989 --> 00:35:29.690
Jesus, that moped. The fuck was that? Did you

00:35:29.690 --> 00:35:34.650
shit yourself? That was a moped. So for the viewers

00:35:34.650 --> 00:35:36.110
at home, I need to describe what just happened.

00:35:36.170 --> 00:35:38.429
I have a window over here that I can see outside.

00:35:39.469 --> 00:35:46.349
Sure, sure. there's a window right here now i

00:35:46.349 --> 00:35:48.570
have a monitor here but i can see up below and

00:35:48.570 --> 00:35:51.969
above it now below that i watched a guy standing

00:35:51.969 --> 00:35:56.510
up on the moped sideways riding it down the street

00:35:56.510 --> 00:35:59.369
and mind you there's potholes out there so i

00:35:59.369 --> 00:36:01.010
don't know how he's doing it but he he was full

00:36:01.010 --> 00:36:04.289
throttle giving her all she's got captain and

00:36:04.289 --> 00:36:06.849
he was going like maybe five six miles an hour

00:36:06.849 --> 00:36:10.250
so anyways that was that was a sight but okay

00:36:10.989 --> 00:36:13.349
So real quick, before you get back on your tangent,

00:36:13.469 --> 00:36:16.949
I started to lose my marbles for a second because

00:36:16.949 --> 00:36:21.989
I was thinking of that Anaconda song. Do you

00:36:21.989 --> 00:36:29.570
remember the Anaconda fart edit? No. I highly

00:36:29.570 --> 00:36:33.409
encourage everybody. It should still be up, but

00:36:33.409 --> 00:36:35.489
I think she was trying to get it taken down.

00:36:37.449 --> 00:36:40.230
Yeah, it's just good old -fashioned toilet humor.

00:36:40.469 --> 00:36:44.550
We're fine. But the Anaconda fart edit was just

00:36:44.550 --> 00:36:52.849
a work of art. And that's part of it, too. It's

00:36:52.849 --> 00:36:55.050
okay to have fun with music. I love that. Having

00:36:55.050 --> 00:36:57.590
a good laugh, a good amount of fun, having a

00:36:57.590 --> 00:36:59.769
good time. Weird Al. Yeah, Weird Al. Weird Al

00:36:59.769 --> 00:37:02.730
was the master of doing that. Well, parodies.

00:37:02.929 --> 00:37:08.840
Parodies are awesome. Yes. We all love it. He

00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:13.519
did one with aluminum foil. Oh, Jesus. Royals.

00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:17.860
Yes. Yeah. Royals. He did aluminum foil, which

00:37:17.860 --> 00:37:24.639
also he talked about the Illuminati. But it's

00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:27.000
part of the point to where music used to be something

00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:28.719
where a lot of bands sounded very different.

00:37:29.300 --> 00:37:31.719
A lot of artists sounded very different. Now,

00:37:31.860 --> 00:37:33.840
a lot of them use the same prerecorded drum parts.

00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:36.320
they use the same samples that are basically

00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:38.719
pre -done guitars or piano stuff or whatever

00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:40.980
and it's edited in a way in which it makes it

00:37:40.980 --> 00:37:44.619
sound original but i hate to say it it takes

00:37:44.619 --> 00:37:46.760
away from the creativity of having somebody physically

00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:49.940
play an instrument or and again i'm biased on

00:37:49.940 --> 00:37:52.840
this one you know but was a music teacher play

00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:54.420
a bunch of instruments so like i'm going to be

00:37:54.420 --> 00:37:57.159
biased in this one i'll be honest but the part

00:37:57.159 --> 00:38:00.500
that really irks me is the lack of creativity

00:38:00.500 --> 00:38:05.429
or depth in the lyrics And also, I guess I would

00:38:05.429 --> 00:38:07.909
have to say that the hedonistic nature of some

00:38:07.909 --> 00:38:10.789
of these lyrics, the issue I have, honestly,

00:38:11.750 --> 00:38:15.230
some of it's just downright grotesque. Like sometimes

00:38:15.230 --> 00:38:17.849
it's like, what in the fuck are you talking about?

00:38:18.170 --> 00:38:21.429
Or what are you going on about? But yet, weirdly

00:38:21.429 --> 00:38:24.090
enough, it's so popular, it gets played to kids

00:38:24.090 --> 00:38:26.630
in elementary school and middle school and gets

00:38:26.630 --> 00:38:29.250
played everywhere. And I don't know, I guess

00:38:29.250 --> 00:38:30.789
maybe it's just me, but I'm kind of getting sick

00:38:30.789 --> 00:38:33.500
of like... kids being involved with things that

00:38:33.500 --> 00:38:35.699
are sexualized in the, in the music industry

00:38:35.699 --> 00:38:38.199
is that gets pushed really hard and it really

00:38:38.199 --> 00:38:43.440
bothers me. Yeah. And, uh, I, I have some, some

00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:47.039
side thoughts on that when I get into the whole

00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:51.739
Illuminati thing. Oh, okay. Yeah, buddy. Um,

00:38:51.860 --> 00:38:54.800
I'm going to tickle your pickle on that one.

00:38:57.179 --> 00:39:03.190
Yeah. Take me out to dinner first. Jesus. One

00:39:03.190 --> 00:39:05.989
thing that really kind of pisses me off is auto

00:39:05.989 --> 00:39:11.070
-tune. Fun fact, I have some kind of weird audio

00:39:11.070 --> 00:39:15.530
condition where I cannot discern vocal context

00:39:15.530 --> 00:39:20.989
from the auto -tune in some songs. I cannot hear

00:39:20.989 --> 00:39:27.530
lyrics over auto -tuned voices over certain frequencies

00:39:27.530 --> 00:39:32.539
of music in songs. No idea. It's whatever frequency

00:39:32.539 --> 00:39:35.340
crossover there is. I cannot distinguish it.

00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:38.739
Oh, okay. I can, I can tell you that there are

00:39:38.739 --> 00:39:42.159
words. Yeah. But I cannot make out the words

00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:45.139
because of whatever weird frequency they're using.

00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:48.360
Got you. Okay. Like you've, you've, you've messed

00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:50.599
around with like audio software. You can do all

00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:53.679
the fun little like effects and shit. It almost

00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:57.579
sounds like a little like, but like in auto tune,

00:39:57.639 --> 00:40:02.500
if that makes any sense. So, shit that's done

00:40:02.500 --> 00:40:07.219
like that, especially like pop music, they go

00:40:07.219 --> 00:40:09.920
way overboard with that. I'll be honest with

00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:12.139
you. Even as someone that's a musician that is

00:40:12.139 --> 00:40:13.760
a recording artist and knows how to do this stuff,

00:40:13.960 --> 00:40:15.579
even I have trouble hearing it. I think it's

00:40:15.579 --> 00:40:17.219
because I didn't grow up listening to this kind

00:40:17.219 --> 00:40:20.860
of crap. But sometimes I have no idea what they're

00:40:20.860 --> 00:40:23.159
saying on the radio. I genuinely have no fucking

00:40:23.159 --> 00:40:26.699
clue. I think that's just a generational thing

00:40:26.699 --> 00:40:29.460
because a lot of the kids... mumble when they

00:40:29.460 --> 00:40:32.219
talk and it's just like the new way of speaking

00:40:32.219 --> 00:40:34.440
that's coming around yeah but i could still even

00:40:34.440 --> 00:40:40.400
understand what pearl jam was singing about like

00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:43.599
don't get me wrong they were mumbling but like

00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:45.659
i could hear it like at least i can understand

00:40:45.659 --> 00:40:48.780
where some of this stuff like it's no clue don't

00:40:48.780 --> 00:40:50.719
get me wrong pearl jam did not announce any one

00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:54.400
of their fucking words oh no and uh the halftime

00:40:54.400 --> 00:40:59.670
show this year i I've seen snippets of the guy.

00:40:59.849 --> 00:41:02.730
I don't remember his name. No idea what the hell

00:41:02.730 --> 00:41:04.150
he was talking about. I didn't even watch it.

00:41:04.329 --> 00:41:07.989
I'll be honest. Me either. I don't watch hockey.

00:41:08.090 --> 00:41:12.510
So whatever the hell was going on, I have watched

00:41:12.510 --> 00:41:15.469
some edits of the halftime show that were really

00:41:15.469 --> 00:41:20.730
good. I think someone did like a Teletubbies

00:41:20.730 --> 00:41:22.110
edit or something like that. It was hilarious.

00:41:22.670 --> 00:41:25.849
You know what? I still think America was. was

00:41:25.849 --> 00:41:31.250
2001 when we had Creed play. Oh, yeah. The halftime

00:41:31.250 --> 00:41:35.070
show. Yeah. Before the whole 9 -11 thing. That

00:41:35.070 --> 00:41:38.550
was early 2001. But that looked like such peak

00:41:38.550 --> 00:41:43.449
America back then. America. I'm so jealous. Because

00:41:43.449 --> 00:41:44.630
nowadays you've got to listen to... Fuck yeah.

00:41:45.190 --> 00:41:47.690
I don't know. Maybe... And to be fair, I'm going

00:41:47.690 --> 00:41:49.230
to be biased because I'm just not into modern

00:41:49.230 --> 00:41:51.389
pop because I just find it very boring. I'll

00:41:51.389 --> 00:41:53.730
be honest. But it also just comes across as so

00:41:53.730 --> 00:41:56.730
fucking lazy, dude. yeah it's so easy and that's

00:41:56.730 --> 00:41:58.309
that's the only thing like like a little little

00:41:58.309 --> 00:42:01.130
side little side diatribe i feel like so many

00:42:01.130 --> 00:42:03.349
of these pop artists are they're not selling

00:42:03.349 --> 00:42:06.849
music they're selling sex they're just selling

00:42:06.849 --> 00:42:08.730
their body and their look and they're basically

00:42:08.730 --> 00:42:15.829
there is a very large sect of the music industry

00:42:15.829 --> 00:42:20.909
where that is what they sell especially if you

00:42:20.909 --> 00:42:23.369
watch the videos that's my that's part of my

00:42:23.369 --> 00:42:27.369
problem is like It's just it's one thing if you

00:42:27.369 --> 00:42:29.110
were gonna do that and be like an 18 only club

00:42:29.110 --> 00:42:32.250
or something like that I really don't care but

00:42:32.250 --> 00:42:34.769
like I have 12 year old 14 year olds go to some

00:42:34.769 --> 00:42:39.230
of these shows No, I Will say just as an aside

00:42:39.230 --> 00:42:44.130
Because she's probably one of the all -time best

00:42:44.130 --> 00:42:47.869
female performers in my mind for a few reasons

00:42:47.869 --> 00:42:52.349
Shakira yeah, if you go watch the video for she

00:42:52.349 --> 00:42:55.300
wolf and just turn the volume down It's a great

00:42:55.300 --> 00:43:02.039
video. I wouldn't know that one offhand. Well,

00:43:02.099 --> 00:43:08.579
go look it up later. But getting off of music

00:43:08.579 --> 00:43:14.960
after the Shakira video, shows and movies that

00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:18.920
have roles and characters that were made for

00:43:18.920 --> 00:43:23.019
only certain races. This is something that pisses

00:43:23.019 --> 00:43:27.980
off a lot of people. For example, the BET network.

00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:37.360
I have a problem with that. So I'm going to piss

00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:40.039
in someone's Cheerios here. Why are the Cheerios?

00:43:40.099 --> 00:43:43.239
They do nothing wrong. Well, they're round and

00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:45.099
they have the hole so I can kind of try to make

00:43:45.099 --> 00:43:47.519
it through without touching the sides. So I hope

00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:49.980
somebody likes the salty. Are you kidding me?

00:43:53.559 --> 00:43:56.619
What do you have, a fucking magnifying glass

00:43:56.619 --> 00:43:58.280
attached to your penis or something? What are

00:43:58.280 --> 00:44:02.400
you going to do with that? Jesus Christ. I'm

00:44:02.400 --> 00:44:03.920
going to take a piss with a spotting scope over

00:44:03.920 --> 00:44:12.320
here. Fuck. God. I have zero problems with the...

00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:16.860
What's the phrase everybody likes today? Is it

00:44:16.860 --> 00:44:18.619
still the African -American community? Is it

00:44:18.619 --> 00:44:20.300
just the black community now? Probably African

00:44:20.300 --> 00:44:25.349
-Americans. I have zero qualms with them having

00:44:25.349 --> 00:44:32.150
shows and movies that are dedicated to all the

00:44:32.150 --> 00:44:34.670
stuff that they have and continue to go through

00:44:34.670 --> 00:44:38.789
because it's relatable material for them. What

00:44:38.789 --> 00:44:42.969
I dislike is that if there is any actor of any

00:44:42.969 --> 00:44:45.829
other race trying to get into the roles, they

00:44:45.829 --> 00:44:50.800
are flatly refused. Flip side. They're not allowed

00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:54.559
to be refused. So why the double standard is

00:44:54.559 --> 00:44:58.519
my question. Again, I understand it is called

00:44:58.519 --> 00:45:02.420
the black entertainment television, but if we

00:45:02.420 --> 00:45:04.420
tried to do the white entertainment television,

00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:08.400
we would get so excoriated. We would not be allowed

00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:10.960
to ever show our faces in public again. I agree.

00:45:11.039 --> 00:45:14.940
So the simple question I have is just why the

00:45:14.940 --> 00:45:18.539
double standard and why can't everybody just

00:45:18.539 --> 00:45:21.159
get along in that respect oh i'd agree with you

00:45:21.159 --> 00:45:25.099
100 so either you have a quality or you don't

00:45:25.099 --> 00:45:27.739
you gotta take a pick you can't you can't get

00:45:27.739 --> 00:45:30.320
the cherry pick be like i get this right but

00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:33.639
you don't like no yeah number one also number

00:45:33.639 --> 00:45:35.699
two not for nothing whatever happened to like

00:45:35.699 --> 00:45:39.019
the nutty professor and like medea family and

00:45:39.019 --> 00:45:41.300
like there were so many other great like mostly

00:45:41.300 --> 00:45:44.199
african -american like american movies Oh, dude,

00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:46.920
Eddie Murphy was fucking great. Honestly, I will

00:45:46.920 --> 00:45:48.159
give him credit. He was basically responsible

00:45:48.159 --> 00:45:50.619
for, like, 90 % of those. But, like, whatever

00:45:50.619 --> 00:45:51.840
happened to those? Because those were fucking,

00:45:51.880 --> 00:45:53.599
like, The Nutty Professor and The Nutty Professor

00:45:53.599 --> 00:45:55.219
2 are some of my favorite movies of all time.

00:45:55.780 --> 00:45:57.639
But, unfortunately, from what I see on, like,

00:45:57.639 --> 00:46:02.440
the BET channel, it's just depravity. And I hate

00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:05.019
to say it, but it's just, like, all these people

00:46:05.019 --> 00:46:07.699
cheating on each other and justifying it and

00:46:07.699 --> 00:46:09.420
doing all this weird stuff with family. It's

00:46:09.420 --> 00:46:14.150
just, it's obnoxious. And I cannot believe. i've

00:46:14.150 --> 00:46:18.889
watched a few shows and it just seems like they

00:46:18.889 --> 00:46:24.449
just continue to push the social narrative that

00:46:24.449 --> 00:46:26.630
is that's true today instead of trying to do

00:46:26.630 --> 00:46:29.590
anything to correct it yeah it's it's okay so

00:46:29.590 --> 00:46:31.429
i'll i'll whip the bandit off and just be real

00:46:31.429 --> 00:46:34.909
i once watched a couple episodes of the housewives

00:46:34.909 --> 00:46:36.789
of atlantic so i was like i i'm curious what

00:46:36.789 --> 00:46:40.510
what this all what's going on here um okay it's

00:46:40.510 --> 00:46:43.110
basically an entire episode just about You know,

00:46:43.110 --> 00:46:45.269
women and men bitching and complaining about

00:46:45.269 --> 00:46:47.949
their significant other and then basically having

00:46:47.949 --> 00:46:49.750
this victim mentality the whole time, being like,

00:46:49.829 --> 00:46:51.449
oh, the world hates me because of the color of

00:46:51.449 --> 00:46:52.929
my skin and all this other crap and yada, yada,

00:46:52.969 --> 00:46:55.110
yada. And I'm sitting there thinking, like, you

00:46:55.110 --> 00:46:57.750
guys just made an hour -long episode discussing

00:46:57.750 --> 00:46:59.789
basically how you could cheat on each other,

00:46:59.909 --> 00:47:02.769
make fun of your friends, do stupid stuff, and

00:47:02.769 --> 00:47:05.269
you're a victim. And it's like, this is some

00:47:05.269 --> 00:47:07.590
of the most depressing and just, like, downright

00:47:07.590 --> 00:47:12.699
victimizing content I've ever watched. And imagine

00:47:12.699 --> 00:47:15.960
that for seasons, like 10 or 20 seasons for this

00:47:15.960 --> 00:47:18.219
stuff. And you wonder why a society where we

00:47:18.219 --> 00:47:19.980
have some warped views on stuff, it's like, well,

00:47:20.019 --> 00:47:21.420
yeah, imagine if that's where you were being

00:47:21.420 --> 00:47:24.460
fed every day. No matter who you are, that's

00:47:24.460 --> 00:47:31.219
crazy. I can't believe it. There are a lot of

00:47:31.219 --> 00:47:34.960
very unrealistic and unrelatable tropes that

00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:38.320
get pushed. I know that's a big one for you.

00:47:39.900 --> 00:47:44.570
Okay. So, there's one of those things, I can

00:47:44.570 --> 00:47:48.949
only speak as a guy, but I know as most of us

00:47:48.949 --> 00:47:53.170
guys, all of us, not all of us, I'd say most

00:47:53.170 --> 00:47:55.010
of us internally, we always want to be the hero.

00:47:55.150 --> 00:47:57.590
We want to be the savior. We want to be the person

00:47:57.590 --> 00:47:59.070
that's able to defend our family, defend our

00:47:59.070 --> 00:48:01.289
friends, do something great, be something more

00:48:01.289 --> 00:48:02.690
of ourselves, be part of a community, all those

00:48:02.690 --> 00:48:07.210
kind of things. And I've noticed a trend in more

00:48:07.210 --> 00:48:09.510
recent movies of squashing that idea entirely.

00:48:10.199 --> 00:48:12.000
I know it's one thing to be contrarian for the

00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:14.539
sake of a movie, but it's a whole nother thing

00:48:14.539 --> 00:48:17.139
to have a bunch of men in every movie seem like

00:48:17.139 --> 00:48:20.420
they're all stupid, feckless, weak, can't do

00:48:20.420 --> 00:48:24.739
anything. It basically becomes this weird dehumanization

00:48:24.739 --> 00:48:28.360
of men that I've noticed. And also same thing

00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:30.960
to do it to women too, which is weird. Like they

00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:33.659
also take women for, for other things as well

00:48:33.659 --> 00:48:36.500
and make them seem either really stupid or really

00:48:36.500 --> 00:48:38.260
incompetent or really useless or anything else.

00:48:39.159 --> 00:48:42.539
And it's very weird to be doing that, especially

00:48:42.539 --> 00:48:44.079
when not for nothing, when we're talking about

00:48:44.079 --> 00:48:46.179
relatable tropes, there's a lot of things in

00:48:46.179 --> 00:48:48.199
society that most people experience and most

00:48:48.199 --> 00:48:50.320
people go with that can be relatable in a movie.

00:48:51.219 --> 00:48:54.619
That's why they're common. Not for nothing, it's

00:48:54.619 --> 00:48:56.739
very hard to do a movie about something that's

00:48:56.739 --> 00:48:58.739
very, very weird and have it seem relatable,

00:48:58.800 --> 00:49:00.559
have people be interested in it. Most people

00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:04.360
watch movies because they can relate to it in

00:49:04.360 --> 00:49:08.670
some manner. Yeah. I'll tell you what, for all

00:49:08.670 --> 00:49:13.269
of the weird shit that's in it, if you take out

00:49:13.269 --> 00:49:17.949
the insane tech stuff, there are a lot of episodes

00:49:17.949 --> 00:49:21.949
of Black Mirror that really hit that relatable

00:49:21.949 --> 00:49:24.909
narrative. Well, I think it's because it's well

00:49:24.909 --> 00:49:28.969
written. Oh, yeah. The new season of Black Mirror,

00:49:29.090 --> 00:49:33.550
holy shit balls. I'm only a few episodes in and

00:49:33.550 --> 00:49:36.570
holy fuck. You've mentioned that a couple times

00:49:36.570 --> 00:49:42.710
now. Yeah, buddy. Go ahead. I guess to wrap up

00:49:42.710 --> 00:49:47.510
what I was trying to say is I know from a male

00:49:47.510 --> 00:49:48.889
perspective, because I would have to talk about

00:49:48.889 --> 00:49:51.530
this, I have seen so many movies over and over

00:49:51.530 --> 00:49:57.050
basically dissing on guys for being guys or boys

00:49:57.050 --> 00:49:59.590
for being boys, men for being men. And it comes

00:49:59.590 --> 00:50:01.429
to a point to where it's like, why would I want

00:50:01.429 --> 00:50:04.179
to support or watch these movies or films? When

00:50:04.179 --> 00:50:06.460
I constantly feel like I'm bad just for the way

00:50:06.460 --> 00:50:11.320
I was born. And again, I can't speak for anybody

00:50:11.320 --> 00:50:13.659
else. I can't speak for anything else. But when

00:50:13.659 --> 00:50:16.380
you get fed that or force fed that over movies

00:50:16.380 --> 00:50:18.920
and movies and movies for years and years or

00:50:18.920 --> 00:50:21.199
even a decade, it wears on you. It comes to a

00:50:21.199 --> 00:50:22.840
point where it's like, why? Why fucking bother?

00:50:23.239 --> 00:50:25.440
Why watch this? Why put money to it? Why am I

00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:27.320
going to support this? And I'm not saying it's

00:50:27.320 --> 00:50:28.619
every movie. I'm not even saying it's majority.

00:50:29.360 --> 00:50:31.659
But there has been a subsect of movies where

00:50:31.659 --> 00:50:34.719
it's like. wow, if you were a guy, you can't

00:50:34.719 --> 00:50:36.900
catch a break. You were always the villain no

00:50:36.900 --> 00:50:41.619
matter what. And it's hard to be relatable. It's

00:50:41.619 --> 00:50:43.599
hard to make a guy want to spend money on that

00:50:43.599 --> 00:50:51.480
or see that. Yeah. Good writing will always be

00:50:51.480 --> 00:50:55.119
better than good actors. The best actor going,

00:50:55.300 --> 00:51:00.380
like Ryan Reynolds, can't make a good movie out

00:51:00.380 --> 00:51:04.980
of a bad script. The Green Lantern. Great example.

00:51:06.099 --> 00:51:10.079
Yeah. He even regretted that one, but he did

00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:11.639
it to do it. Yeah, but don't worry. Deadpool,

00:51:11.659 --> 00:51:16.280
he made it right. Yes. Deadpool is such a good

00:51:16.280 --> 00:51:20.099
set. Oh, yeah. I love those movies. But it is

00:51:20.099 --> 00:51:23.019
true. I would think having people that are passionate

00:51:23.019 --> 00:51:24.340
and knowledgeable about these movies and making

00:51:24.340 --> 00:51:27.440
a good script and spending the time to do it

00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:29.019
right and not just try to rush it out to make

00:51:29.019 --> 00:51:32.619
money while it's relevant. It shows. It really

00:51:32.619 --> 00:51:36.119
shows. One of the shows, for example, I have

00:51:36.119 --> 00:51:38.920
to point out recently, I watched Reacher on Amazon

00:51:38.920 --> 00:51:41.260
Prime. Oh, yeah. It has somebody that read the

00:51:41.260 --> 00:51:43.739
books and hated the Tom Cruise one because it

00:51:43.739 --> 00:51:45.699
was completely wrong. And then Alan Richardson

00:51:45.699 --> 00:51:48.440
comes in and it's like, Jesus Christ. Does it

00:51:48.440 --> 00:51:50.019
right? This is one of the best, not only casting

00:51:50.019 --> 00:51:52.699
decisions I've ever seen in my life, but the

00:51:52.699 --> 00:51:55.880
script is fucking perfect. That's the way you

00:51:55.880 --> 00:51:58.059
do it. If you want to do a great TV show to have

00:51:58.059 --> 00:52:00.019
it be exactly what it's supposed to be. that's

00:52:00.019 --> 00:52:02.480
how you do it and i don't understand why it's

00:52:02.480 --> 00:52:04.139
that complicated especially when there's so many

00:52:04.139 --> 00:52:05.699
movies and books or adaptations where you have

00:52:05.699 --> 00:52:08.239
a lot of stuff to pull from and the character's

00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:10.079
motivations of most books or tv shows are pretty

00:52:10.079 --> 00:52:12.460
fucking simple because it's got to be relatable

00:52:12.460 --> 00:52:17.900
um let me say on on the book to movie adaptation

00:52:17.900 --> 00:52:25.579
uh i waited for literal decades uh for a book

00:52:25.579 --> 00:52:29.900
to become a movie um And God damn it, as soon

00:52:29.900 --> 00:52:34.539
as I said it, it went away. Fahrenheit 451? No.

00:52:34.639 --> 00:52:39.760
I thought it was a letdown. Yeah, it was. Great

00:52:39.760 --> 00:52:42.519
book. The movie was like a four out of ten. Shit.

00:52:42.519 --> 00:52:45.760
It was a Tom Clancy book. Michael B. Jordan was

00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:51.480
in it. Oh, shit. Oh. Yeah, fuck. Now, I have

00:52:51.480 --> 00:52:54.000
to Google this. Michael B. Jordan, one of my

00:52:54.000 --> 00:53:02.070
favorite actors of all time. Without remorse,

00:53:02.130 --> 00:53:05.489
that was it. Thank you. Thank you, Google. So

00:53:05.489 --> 00:53:08.730
without remorse, I picked up that book when I

00:53:08.730 --> 00:53:13.090
was in the Navy, and I had such an issue putting

00:53:13.090 --> 00:53:17.130
that book down because it was so good, and it

00:53:17.130 --> 00:53:21.670
was a thick book. I'm talking like capitalized,

00:53:21.670 --> 00:53:24.769
bold, double C, thick. Did you have the hard

00:53:24.769 --> 00:53:27.150
cover or the soft cover for that one? Soft cover.

00:53:27.210 --> 00:53:31.820
It's all I had on the ship. But I read it twice

00:53:31.820 --> 00:53:37.400
on one deployment. And I read it, I think, two

00:53:37.400 --> 00:53:42.079
more times after that. So I was waiting for this

00:53:42.079 --> 00:53:44.059
book to get made into a movie. And what they

00:53:44.059 --> 00:53:50.320
did on screen was such an absolute atrocity.

00:53:51.019 --> 00:53:53.099
Now, again, don't get me wrong. Michael B. Jordan,

00:53:53.219 --> 00:53:57.300
great actor. He played the part he was given

00:53:57.300 --> 00:54:03.809
well. That was not what I was expecting. Like

00:54:03.809 --> 00:54:08.989
a thousand and 50 million percent. That is not

00:54:08.989 --> 00:54:11.489
what I sat down to watch. But it shows that the

00:54:11.489 --> 00:54:14.030
director did not know the topic. They didn't

00:54:14.030 --> 00:54:17.590
know. No. They made a whole different script.

00:54:17.809 --> 00:54:24.150
It followed like nothing. Why bother having the

00:54:24.150 --> 00:54:26.989
title at that point? That's my biggest issue.

00:54:27.070 --> 00:54:28.510
If you're going to go with something that already

00:54:28.510 --> 00:54:32.070
exists, At least pull from it. At least be somewhat

00:54:32.070 --> 00:54:40.969
close. The comic book guys. Dr. Manhattan. Yeah,

00:54:40.989 --> 00:54:44.929
yeah, yeah. Fantastic Four? Or no? No. No, sorry.

00:54:45.010 --> 00:54:46.949
Dr. Manhattan. Where's that from? The Watchmen.

00:54:47.070 --> 00:54:50.010
Oh, Jesus. I haven't seen that in a while. The

00:54:50.010 --> 00:54:53.829
Watchmen was perfectly done. They essentially

00:54:53.829 --> 00:54:58.880
used the graphic novel as the script. Perfectly

00:54:58.880 --> 00:55:00.000
done. Look at what they're doing with Invincible.

00:55:02.139 --> 00:55:05.059
Oh, yeah. Dude, Invincible's fucking great. Solid

00:55:05.059 --> 00:55:07.739
show. It's one of the best. And same thing with

00:55:07.739 --> 00:55:10.059
The Boys. The Boys is probably one of the greatest

00:55:10.059 --> 00:55:11.980
examples I can see because they do take some

00:55:11.980 --> 00:55:15.219
liberties from the comics, but Jesus Christ,

00:55:15.280 --> 00:55:17.599
the writing is top -notch, the scripting is top

00:55:17.599 --> 00:55:20.579
-notch, the acting is out of this world. There's

00:55:20.579 --> 00:55:21.900
a reason why The Boys would be considered one

00:55:21.900 --> 00:55:26.340
of the greatest TV shows of all time. Yeah. It's

00:55:26.340 --> 00:55:35.670
fantastic. I dislike a lot of the gender politic

00:55:35.670 --> 00:55:40.449
pushing in the boys. But I didn't read the comics,

00:55:40.489 --> 00:55:41.949
so I don't know if that's in there. I've noticed

00:55:41.949 --> 00:55:43.530
that they've been toning it down, if you noticed,

00:55:43.630 --> 00:55:48.630
in the last season. I think they've realized.

00:55:49.050 --> 00:55:51.929
Again, nobody wants to watch these movies to

00:55:51.929 --> 00:55:55.900
be lectured about stuff. Politics is... boring

00:55:55.900 --> 00:55:58.400
and bullshit enough as it is right now i don't

00:55:58.400 --> 00:55:59.860
want to see it in movies if i want to go watch

00:55:59.860 --> 00:56:01.780
a movie about politics i will go watch a movie

00:56:01.780 --> 00:56:04.719
about politics there was a um there was a really

00:56:04.719 --> 00:56:07.840
funny one a few years ago um about this lady

00:56:07.840 --> 00:56:09.440
and someone else that was running for like a

00:56:09.440 --> 00:56:11.539
local governor or something like that it was

00:56:11.539 --> 00:56:14.179
actually hilarious it was a great movie but that's

00:56:14.179 --> 00:56:16.019
the only time i've gone at the gone to the movie

00:56:16.019 --> 00:56:18.539
stop wow i can't wait to look at politics everything

00:56:18.539 --> 00:56:24.289
else please get the fuck away from me right Um,

00:56:24.489 --> 00:56:27.670
yeah, lots of the newer movies kind of rely on,

00:56:27.710 --> 00:56:30.469
uh, on the big name, like star power, you know?

00:56:30.510 --> 00:56:33.769
Yeah. And, uh, they just kind of push that and

00:56:33.769 --> 00:56:36.929
don't put as much effort into the script. Um,

00:56:37.230 --> 00:56:40.070
and that happens entirely too much. You can see

00:56:40.070 --> 00:56:44.289
it literally everywhere in the movies, on TV,

00:56:44.469 --> 00:56:48.670
on streaming, literally everywhere. So there's

00:56:48.670 --> 00:56:51.889
a lot of that going on and way too much. Um,

00:56:52.490 --> 00:56:55.769
promoting race or diversity over quality uh all

00:56:55.769 --> 00:56:59.829
the dei bullshit that's been going on that's

00:56:59.829 --> 00:57:03.130
that's been an issue and hopefully it stops and

00:57:03.130 --> 00:57:05.230
continues to stop what i heard from the writers

00:57:05.230 --> 00:57:06.869
guild strike and a few other things in hollywood

00:57:06.869 --> 00:57:08.869
they'd be getting rid of a lot of their dei requirements

00:57:08.869 --> 00:57:12.409
and initiatives for good because that was now

00:57:12.409 --> 00:57:19.800
becoming an issue i have no problem with Put

00:57:19.800 --> 00:57:22.920
the person most qualified into the position that's

00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:26.639
open. Period. Autocracy. Doesn't matter. Doesn't

00:57:26.639 --> 00:57:31.059
matter anything else. Just fill the roles with

00:57:31.059 --> 00:57:33.440
the most qualified individuals. Period. Don't

00:57:33.440 --> 00:57:35.420
give someone special permissions because of the

00:57:35.420 --> 00:57:37.500
color of their skin. I don't like racism either

00:57:37.500 --> 00:57:41.179
way. Or who they sleep with. Yeah. Why does that

00:57:41.179 --> 00:57:44.679
matter? If you're a good actor, a good actress,

00:57:44.800 --> 00:57:47.400
or a good writer, or a good director. Just find

00:57:47.400 --> 00:57:49.059
the best person for that job. You're 100 % right.

00:57:49.139 --> 00:57:51.780
It's a meritocratic system. But the idea that

00:57:51.780 --> 00:57:53.760
says, oh yeah, we have to hire this person because

00:57:53.760 --> 00:57:54.960
of the color of their skin or who they sleep

00:57:54.960 --> 00:58:02.199
with, that's BS. I'm sorry. And it shows. I hate

00:58:02.199 --> 00:58:06.300
to say it, but the proof's in the pudding. And

00:58:06.300 --> 00:58:08.260
I know I kind of already touched on this one.

00:58:09.300 --> 00:58:14.519
Forcing the LGBTQILMNOP Plus minus asterisk division,

00:58:14.619 --> 00:58:18.900
Thorne parentheses, agendas and ideologies over

00:58:18.900 --> 00:58:20.699
storylines. Do what? Where are you getting that

00:58:20.699 --> 00:58:24.679
part of the acronym from? You should just say

00:58:24.679 --> 00:58:28.920
LGBTQ or less. I don't know. I don't know. They've

00:58:28.920 --> 00:58:30.300
added a lot of new genders in the past year.

00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:32.280
There's two spirit and there's a few other ones.

00:58:36.619 --> 00:58:42.610
So that brings us. To the part of the show that

00:58:42.610 --> 00:58:47.130
I have been most anxious to get about. It gets

00:58:47.130 --> 00:58:51.070
talking about. All throughout the entertainment

00:58:51.070 --> 00:58:54.710
industry. Loosen your belts and get comfortable,

00:58:54.829 --> 00:59:01.010
boys and girls. Alleged involvement of the Illuminati

00:59:01.010 --> 00:59:06.070
and the possibility of a list actors using things

00:59:06.070 --> 00:59:10.940
like code words in public. to engage in sex acts

00:59:10.940 --> 00:59:13.900
and trafficking of minors and other marginalized

00:59:13.900 --> 00:59:19.099
people. This has been a very big thing over the

00:59:19.099 --> 00:59:23.940
years. Harvey Weinstein, Ellen DeGeneres, Jay

00:59:23.940 --> 00:59:28.659
-Z, Tom Hanks, Beyonce, all the big names are

00:59:28.659 --> 00:59:30.539
potentially involved and have been implicated

00:59:30.539 --> 00:59:35.559
in a lot of bullshit. They use code words like

00:59:35.559 --> 00:59:38.510
pizza. When they're talking about kids. You're

00:59:38.510 --> 00:59:40.230
talking about Pizzagate is what you're referring

00:59:40.230 --> 00:59:43.849
to. Pizzagate is one of the big things, yeah.

00:59:45.730 --> 00:59:48.190
Well, really it was the Jeffrey Epstein stuff

00:59:48.190 --> 00:59:50.550
is really what kind of blew up on this because

00:59:50.550 --> 00:59:52.210
this has been an underground thing for decades.

00:59:53.210 --> 00:59:55.750
For decades, yeah. When the Epstein stuff came

00:59:55.750 --> 00:59:58.409
up and when certain people in Hollywood, particularly

00:59:58.409 --> 01:00:00.849
people like Tom Hanks, for example, decided to

01:00:00.849 --> 01:00:02.989
flee the country and no longer had a permanent

01:00:02.989 --> 01:00:05.809
home here, people started raising questions.

01:00:06.849 --> 01:00:09.730
Mm -hmm. Don't get me wrong. It could be due

01:00:09.730 --> 01:00:12.269
to tax stuff. As he was based out of California,

01:00:12.409 --> 01:00:13.849
he was making so much money that he might have

01:00:13.849 --> 01:00:15.590
just wanted to not have to pay the taxes, but

01:00:15.590 --> 01:00:19.989
I don't know. It was not because of tax stuff,

01:00:20.090 --> 01:00:26.710
Gibbs. Provocative acts and symbolism on stage

01:00:26.710 --> 01:00:30.030
and on cover art and even during interviews that

01:00:30.030 --> 01:00:32.230
are supposedly used to make various call -outs

01:00:32.230 --> 01:00:36.949
to the Illuminati. covering up an eye, the triangle,

01:00:37.530 --> 01:00:40.469
all this other bullshit that people say that

01:00:40.469 --> 01:00:43.869
they do, you know, oh, like all this stuff. Yeah,

01:00:43.949 --> 01:00:46.469
they say those are call -outs to the Illuminati

01:00:46.469 --> 01:00:49.469
and different things that they do, even things

01:00:49.469 --> 01:00:55.309
that they wear. There are magazine covers where

01:00:55.309 --> 01:00:57.489
you've got a lot of these big stars sitting there

01:00:57.489 --> 01:00:59.610
like with a hand over their eye and they're looking

01:00:59.610 --> 01:01:03.119
out. That's their... Level of involvement or

01:01:03.119 --> 01:01:07.699
level of call out to the Illuminati. And you

01:01:07.699 --> 01:01:11.780
can look all this stuff up. It's out there. That's

01:01:11.780 --> 01:01:16.840
the scarier part, I guess. Beyonce is said to

01:01:16.840 --> 01:01:19.420
be one or said to be a very powerful figurehead

01:01:19.420 --> 01:01:22.800
in the Illuminati. Over the years, people who

01:01:22.800 --> 01:01:26.539
had no public involvement with her have began

01:01:26.539 --> 01:01:30.449
to thank her in their acceptance speeches. first

01:01:30.449 --> 01:01:32.750
and they will dedicate it to her they'll say

01:01:32.750 --> 01:01:34.989
oh this grammy nomination dedicate their whole

01:01:34.989 --> 01:01:38.849
thing yeah um like almost like they were required

01:01:38.849 --> 01:01:41.170
to like they had to like bend the knee first

01:01:41.170 --> 01:01:43.829
thing out of their fucking mouth and it would

01:01:43.829 --> 01:01:46.269
be for people oh thank you beyonce i gotta say

01:01:46.269 --> 01:01:48.170
thank you to beyonce and all this other bullshit

01:01:48.170 --> 01:01:50.710
artists even some white rock artists a ton of

01:01:50.710 --> 01:01:54.250
hip -hop and rb artists it's all over the spectrum

01:01:54.250 --> 01:02:01.400
just like me and You know, after a while, I think

01:02:01.400 --> 01:02:04.619
she kind of got, you know, OK, people are starting

01:02:04.619 --> 01:02:06.659
to catch on. So if you're going to say I just

01:02:06.659 --> 01:02:10.400
put it towards the end. So she got her acknowledgments,

01:02:10.400 --> 01:02:14.940
but it was towards the end after a while. One

01:02:14.940 --> 01:02:18.360
interesting fact, people that have spoken in

01:02:18.360 --> 01:02:22.039
negative ways about her, Beyonce, have had their

01:02:22.039 --> 01:02:25.000
entire careers derailed. Think of Wendy Williams,

01:02:25.179 --> 01:02:30.159
former talk show host. in sometimes odd and potentially

01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:33.599
questionable ways. Wendy Williams went from being

01:02:33.599 --> 01:02:36.920
as coherent as you and I to essentially laid

01:02:36.920 --> 01:02:40.840
up in a nursing home after she started talking

01:02:40.840 --> 01:02:44.119
about Beyonce's baby bump being fake. I literally

01:02:44.119 --> 01:02:45.539
have no idea what you're talking about right

01:02:45.539 --> 01:02:49.800
now. Okay, so Wendy Williams, you'll have to

01:02:49.800 --> 01:02:52.900
look up who she is because she had a talk show.

01:02:53.420 --> 01:02:56.079
She had pointed out that during an interview,

01:02:56.199 --> 01:03:02.389
Beyonce... sat down and the camera angle caught

01:03:02.389 --> 01:03:06.530
her baby bump looked like it had folded in on

01:03:06.530 --> 01:03:10.750
itself. Like it was a rubber, um, overage for

01:03:10.750 --> 01:03:13.989
her belly. And she had made the comment, you

01:03:13.989 --> 01:03:16.010
know, Hey, when I was pregnant, I never had a

01:03:16.010 --> 01:03:18.409
baby bump fold in on itself. Did any of you women

01:03:18.409 --> 01:03:20.190
in the audience and you know, everyone, of course

01:03:20.190 --> 01:03:24.539
I'm no. And she showed the video and yeah. It

01:03:24.539 --> 01:03:28.199
really fucking looked kind of weird. It's kind

01:03:28.199 --> 01:03:31.239
of like the Michelle or Michael Obama dong swinging

01:03:31.239 --> 01:03:32.880
around on the Ellen show. I'm not touching that

01:03:32.880 --> 01:03:38.179
one. Well, apparently neither does Barack. So

01:03:38.179 --> 01:03:42.440
don't look at me. I have nothing involved with.

01:03:45.880 --> 01:03:52.619
But. So Wendy Williams was talking about this

01:03:52.619 --> 01:03:55.429
on her show. And like a couple weeks later, I

01:03:55.429 --> 01:03:57.710
don't even think it was a couple weeks, it comes

01:03:57.710 --> 01:04:00.929
out that she had been diagnosed with degenerative

01:04:00.929 --> 01:04:05.409
brain issues and she's up in a nursing home.

01:04:06.230 --> 01:04:08.409
And they show pictures of her and she's all just

01:04:08.409 --> 01:04:10.909
like cracked out of her mind, looking all fucking

01:04:10.909 --> 01:04:15.630
out of it. And she didn't know her fucking ass

01:04:15.630 --> 01:04:18.389
from a wall. Almost like what Britney Spears

01:04:18.389 --> 01:04:22.570
went through, huh? Britney's a sad case, dude.

01:04:22.690 --> 01:04:26.550
That girl was manipulated all through the years.

01:04:26.690 --> 01:04:32.050
I took advantage of her money. Yeah. But a lot

01:04:32.050 --> 01:04:34.710
of the Illuminati stuff ties into, you know,

01:04:34.710 --> 01:04:38.269
Pizzagate, Epstein, Bohemian Grove, all kinds

01:04:38.269 --> 01:04:43.110
of shit where it's just centralized power of

01:04:43.110 --> 01:04:46.510
a lot of people who have done some really dirty,

01:04:46.550 --> 01:04:49.030
disgusting, shady shit all through Hollywood.

01:04:49.530 --> 01:04:52.889
And all through America. Well, I'm trying to

01:04:52.889 --> 01:04:54.829
search it up right now. Remember there was a

01:04:54.829 --> 01:04:58.530
rapper that a couple of years ago did a music

01:04:58.530 --> 01:05:02.150
video. Puff Daddy at the Baby Oil? But that's

01:05:02.150 --> 01:05:05.130
another issue there. That was a weird one. The

01:05:05.130 --> 01:05:07.269
fucking Baby Oil, bro. Thousands of bottles of

01:05:07.269 --> 01:05:11.250
Baby Oil. You know, I genuinely thought that

01:05:11.250 --> 01:05:12.949
was all laced with drugs and that was away from

01:05:12.949 --> 01:05:15.949
traffic stuff. But no, it apparently came out

01:05:15.949 --> 01:05:19.269
that it was literally... just baby with a little

01:05:19.269 --> 01:05:21.030
bit of chloroform i don't know how that works

01:05:21.030 --> 01:05:25.050
but like yeah maybe you know i guess the dude

01:05:25.050 --> 01:05:26.690
just likes to whack it with baby oil yeah maybe

01:05:26.690 --> 01:05:28.730
just gets lathered in it because that is that

01:05:28.730 --> 01:05:33.690
is the thing i don't you know every day on this

01:05:33.690 --> 01:05:38.369
earth people disgust me more and more you know

01:05:38.369 --> 01:05:40.369
every day you ever see that that that part of

01:05:40.369 --> 01:05:42.570
the matrix Where Smith is talking about how much

01:05:42.570 --> 01:05:45.230
he hates being in human flesh. Oh, she's disgusting

01:05:45.230 --> 01:05:47.130
and everything. I feel like every day I sit there

01:05:47.130 --> 01:05:50.190
thinking, you know, Smith, I get it. I get it.

01:05:50.190 --> 01:05:51.750
After looking at people and the things that we

01:05:51.750 --> 01:05:54.469
do, I get it. Maybe it's me becoming part of

01:05:54.469 --> 01:05:56.110
the AI and part of the Matrix in the future.

01:05:56.130 --> 01:05:59.449
I don't know. You know, I have days where I'm

01:05:59.449 --> 01:06:07.139
like, you know, Thanos was right. kids seem to

01:06:07.139 --> 01:06:09.519
find it but going back to your point there was

01:06:09.519 --> 01:06:13.000
a rapper i remember that did a music video that

01:06:13.000 --> 01:06:15.699
it looked very like satanic i'm not somebody

01:06:15.699 --> 01:06:17.199
that's like against satanism or anything like

01:06:17.199 --> 01:06:18.400
that i'm not somebody that's like really concerned

01:06:18.400 --> 01:06:21.599
with that kind of stuff but it was like jesus

01:06:21.599 --> 01:06:24.639
this is fucking weird and not weird like a cool

01:06:24.639 --> 01:06:28.619
way a weird way like this is hedonistic and weird

01:06:28.619 --> 01:06:31.679
with kids like what the fuck um well i don't

01:06:31.679 --> 01:06:34.639
know about the kids but sam smith that's he did

01:06:35.449 --> 01:06:39.710
that uh unholy video yeah which i just i don't

01:06:39.710 --> 01:06:43.769
know it just it gave me weird and that was one

01:06:43.769 --> 01:06:50.949
where again it was supposedly very much um trying

01:06:50.949 --> 01:06:55.849
to think of the words um illuminati bound kind

01:06:55.849 --> 01:07:02.070
of thing um now illuminati gets tied into the

01:07:02.070 --> 01:07:05.900
satanism aspect a lot of stuff wrongfully You

01:07:05.900 --> 01:07:09.480
know, the two are very different groups, so there's

01:07:09.480 --> 01:07:13.579
none of that. But all the stuff that the Illuminati

01:07:13.579 --> 01:07:18.139
is supposedly involved in, we might want to do

01:07:18.139 --> 01:07:20.380
a whole episode on that shit at some point because

01:07:20.380 --> 01:07:23.840
between them and the Pizzagate stuff and Epstein,

01:07:23.840 --> 01:07:26.940
who did not hang himself, there's just a lot

01:07:26.940 --> 01:07:31.420
of stuff that's going on. I still think Clinton's

01:07:31.420 --> 01:07:36.320
took him out. I think Hillary paid him a visit.

01:07:37.059 --> 01:07:40.820
It's 100%. We know Epstein didn't hang himself.

01:07:40.880 --> 01:07:46.099
We know this. We know this. Without a doubt.

01:07:46.179 --> 01:07:48.820
Come on. The camera stopped working and all of

01:07:48.820 --> 01:07:52.199
a sudden we come back out and oopsie. Bullshit.

01:07:52.739 --> 01:07:56.480
Are you kidding me? Far too many coincidences.

01:07:56.480 --> 01:07:57.920
There's no such thing as coincidence in this

01:07:57.920 --> 01:08:04.820
world. No way. Absolutely no way. No. No. I refuse.

01:08:04.980 --> 01:08:06.380
Oh, it would be fun to do like an Illuminati

01:08:06.380 --> 01:08:11.400
episode as well as just like other group. I don't

01:08:11.400 --> 01:08:13.139
know if you want to call them like a cult, but

01:08:13.139 --> 01:08:19.359
like unorthodox groups in the US or something

01:08:19.359 --> 01:08:24.340
like that. I've heard a lot of weird stuff in

01:08:24.340 --> 01:08:27.180
that range. I just don't really retain it. You've

01:08:27.180 --> 01:08:28.979
got like the Freemasons, the Illuminati, and

01:08:28.979 --> 01:08:31.460
the other ones. Yeah, but the Freemasons don't

01:08:31.460 --> 01:08:33.680
really do anything. They just raise money for

01:08:33.680 --> 01:08:37.640
the hospitals. No, that's the Shriners. Oh, okay,

01:08:37.760 --> 01:08:41.720
valid. I don't know. They just do local charities,

01:08:41.760 --> 01:08:46.060
as far as I know. As far as I've dealt with,

01:08:46.100 --> 01:08:49.020
anyway, in my area. Yeah. I know a Freemason.

01:08:49.100 --> 01:08:57.439
I can talk to him a little bit. But no, the Illuminati

01:08:57.439 --> 01:08:58.960
stuff gets weird. And unfortunately, there's

01:08:58.960 --> 01:09:00.600
just no way to corroborate a lot of the stuff.

01:09:02.240 --> 01:09:06.060
No, that's the bad part. They're up there with

01:09:06.060 --> 01:09:08.520
the Church of Scientology. Well, at least the

01:09:08.520 --> 01:09:10.159
Scientology stuff, you can get all the information

01:09:10.159 --> 01:09:12.439
on. You kind of know who's running it. Some.

01:09:13.300 --> 01:09:18.479
You can get some of the information. Without

01:09:18.479 --> 01:09:21.859
joining the church and infiltrating it. Yeah.

01:09:21.960 --> 01:09:23.260
Well, there's a lot of people that... You've

01:09:23.260 --> 01:09:26.659
got to be rich to get in and get the good stuff.

01:09:26.960 --> 01:09:29.020
I know someone that was a Scientologist that

01:09:29.020 --> 01:09:35.329
left. that went through that um as well as like

01:09:35.329 --> 01:09:39.130
it's it's so stupid man fucking your inner thetans

01:09:39.130 --> 01:09:42.649
i will say the south park episode on it makes

01:09:42.649 --> 01:09:46.449
me laugh every fucking time oh hell yeah hail

01:09:46.449 --> 01:09:53.210
science but no it goes a show like not i'm gonna

people believe in weird stupid shit oh yeah no

01:09:59.300 --> 01:10:01.300
matter who the pasta farians are my favorite

01:10:01.300 --> 01:10:04.520
pasta farian is what by the way the flying noodle

01:10:04.520 --> 01:10:07.399
monster my co -worker showed me that last week

01:10:07.399 --> 01:10:09.920

01:10:09.920 --> 01:10:12.920

01:10:36.510 --> 01:10:39.289
Hey, all I'm saying, he's the OG necromancer.

01:10:39.329 --> 01:10:45.289
If that's what really happened, you know, that's

01:10:45.289 --> 01:10:51.470
a whole different type of religion. Yeah. But

01:10:51.470 --> 01:10:54.909
I don't know. People believe in weird stuff,

01:10:54.989 --> 01:10:57.420
and I hate what you just said in the chat. Please

01:10:57.420 --> 01:11:02.359
never fucking say that again. Glaze me. I don't

01:11:02.359 --> 01:11:08.500
like that. Glaze me. No, no, no, no, no, no.

01:11:09.739 --> 01:11:14.819
I hate everything about that. You love it. You

01:11:14.819 --> 01:11:18.899
know, I don't think it's something I'm trying

01:11:18.899 --> 01:11:23.600
to make that happen. Fuck. Fucking Christ. One

01:11:23.600 --> 01:11:29.000
of the blue pills. just volume i don't get it

01:11:29.000 --> 01:11:34.579
like bluetooth sponsor us damn it well i don't

01:11:34.579 --> 01:11:36.539

01:11:36.539 --> 01:11:38.520

01:11:38.520 --> 01:11:41.619
that's the thing i don't understand good lord

01:11:41.619 --> 01:11:47.100
i'd be past the fuck out kidding me good lord

01:11:47.100 --> 01:11:49.359
and for those listening have no idea what we're

01:11:49.359 --> 01:11:50.960
talking about you are very welcome because i'm

01:11:50.960 --> 01:11:53.340
not going to explain you do not want to know

01:11:54.099 --> 01:11:56.840
This is why you should join the live streams

01:11:56.840 --> 01:12:02.239
and the discords and everything. Most often,

01:12:03.659 --> 01:12:07.180
yes. But if you join, you'll get the alerts.

01:12:08.659 --> 01:12:13.300
You'll know. You'll know. You'll be in the know.

01:12:14.079 --> 01:12:16.539
Speaking of in the know, do you want to tell

01:12:16.539 --> 01:12:18.119
them what we're trying to work on on the side?

01:12:18.960 --> 01:12:20.859
What we're talking about before the pre -show?

01:12:22.239 --> 01:12:23.779
That does not narrow it down. I already forget

01:12:23.779 --> 01:12:26.899
because I have a fucking meatball. Jesus, dude.

01:12:27.000 --> 01:12:30.079
Okay, so I am trying to work on some potential

01:12:30.079 --> 01:12:32.239
merch items. I don't know how well they'll be

01:12:32.239 --> 01:12:37.819
received. I'm going to go with the patented noodles

01:12:37.819 --> 01:12:44.060
and nips because that's a thing. That is the

01:12:44.060 --> 01:12:46.159
thing that we say around here. We do have to

01:12:46.159 --> 01:12:50.960
work on a couple of logos. Oh, yeah. But I am

01:12:50.960 --> 01:12:53.060
going to do a QR. code thing that'll take you

01:12:53.060 --> 01:12:57.159
to the YouTube channel. So I have a laser engraver.

01:12:57.640 --> 01:13:01.699
So anything that becomes merged will be made

01:13:01.699 --> 01:13:05.239
directly by me. And for an extra small fee, I

01:13:05.239 --> 01:13:07.739
will mushroom stamp it with my own appendage

01:13:07.739 --> 01:13:16.479
before I send it out. Or for an even higher fee,

01:13:16.619 --> 01:13:19.340
I will not mushroom stamp it with my own appendage.

01:13:24.960 --> 01:13:30.239
If you are the reason the FTC bans our merch

01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:34.739
because, and I quote, I own the hoodie. Why does

01:13:34.739 --> 01:13:37.439
it have pubic hair? I am going to drive to your

01:13:37.439 --> 01:13:43.720
house. And we're going to have a very impolite

01:13:43.720 --> 01:13:49.220
discussion. And more importantly, if I get sent

01:13:49.220 --> 01:13:53.939
merch on my own podcast, and you did that. Oh,

01:13:53.939 --> 01:13:57.140
no, see, for you, I'm going to send you a sample,

01:13:58.380 --> 01:14:01.180
and I'm going to just trace out my dong on a

01:14:01.180 --> 01:14:07.720
board. And I'm just going to say, guess what

01:14:07.720 --> 01:14:12.500
was here, Gibbs? No. I'll send you one of those

01:14:12.500 --> 01:14:19.539
short, cushy boards. Yeah, the Sharkoochie boards.

01:14:20.060 --> 01:14:25.659
Yeah, Sharkoochie. I hate this timeline. I really

01:14:25.659 --> 01:14:29.460
hate this timeline. I know. It's all because

01:14:29.460 --> 01:14:33.760
of Harambee. The fucking Hadron Collider, I swear

01:14:33.760 --> 01:14:37.279
to God. Right. They're making a new or bigger

01:14:37.279 --> 01:14:39.439
one. Did you hear that? Yeah, I know. I can't

01:14:39.439 --> 01:14:42.680
wait to switch up reality again. I know. I can't

01:14:42.680 --> 01:14:46.859
wait. Maybe the Reptile Overlords will reset

01:14:46.859 --> 01:14:48.739
the simulation to 2012. Denzel Washington as

01:14:48.739 --> 01:14:51.640
an ex -president or something like that. As long

01:14:51.640 --> 01:14:53.460
as it's not Dwayne The Rock Johnson, that's fine.

01:14:53.600 --> 01:14:57.880
I'd be like, fuck. Right. Price. Oh, yeah. We

01:14:57.880 --> 01:15:01.659
have, oh, oh, oh, what's his name? Oh, fuck.

01:15:03.060 --> 01:15:05.100
The one that was the president. All right, all

01:15:05.100 --> 01:15:07.779
right, all right. Oh, God. No, but the one that

01:15:07.779 --> 01:15:10.199
was the president in Idiocracy. I forgot the

01:15:10.199 --> 01:15:12.760
actor's name. Terry Crews. Terry Crews, yeah.

01:15:12.840 --> 01:15:20.250
He's one of my list guys. I like a match of Terry

01:15:20.250 --> 01:15:21.489
Crews as president. It would be pretty funny.

01:15:22.630 --> 01:15:25.390
Oh, yes. President Camacho. Even not just Camacho,

01:15:25.470 --> 01:15:28.390
but just Terry Crews himself. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

01:15:28.529 --> 01:15:32.149
But good Lord, that would be... Mm -hmm. At least

01:15:32.149 --> 01:15:33.930
at the negotiation table, nobody would think

01:15:33.930 --> 01:15:36.850
twice about, like, fuck him with him or mess

01:15:36.850 --> 01:15:40.210
with him. Oh, yeah, no. He'd just pull up with

01:15:40.210 --> 01:15:42.909
his... Yeah, no, I don't think you're getting

01:15:42.909 --> 01:15:49.439
the idea here. That's how you know if he's bluffing

01:15:49.439 --> 01:15:51.579
or not, is whether his moves are moving. Whether

01:15:51.579 --> 01:15:57.560
his pecs are... The pec flicks. Those pecs tell

01:15:57.560 --> 01:16:06.899
no lies. Oh, man. Yeah. Anyways. Yeah, so I'll

01:16:06.899 --> 01:16:09.180
be working on some of the merch stuff here over

01:16:09.180 --> 01:16:12.859
the next couple weeks. We're still working on

01:16:12.859 --> 01:16:16.779
a fun episode coming down the chute. That one's

01:16:16.779 --> 01:16:23.020
going to be a lot of fun. Noodles, nips, and

01:16:23.020 --> 01:16:25.600
socials, I suppose. Yeah, because we do want

01:16:25.600 --> 01:16:27.479
to start working on some merch stuff in general.

01:16:30.420 --> 01:16:33.779
Besides that, we're just kind of meeting up and

01:16:33.779 --> 01:16:36.380
doing some more stuff about future advertising

01:16:36.380 --> 01:16:37.739
and marketing and stuff like that and getting

01:16:37.739 --> 01:16:40.579
some other things kind of figured out. Definitely

01:16:40.579 --> 01:16:44.539
the logistics of doing a... podcast from two

01:16:44.539 --> 01:16:46.479
different locations and have it be synced and

01:16:46.479 --> 01:16:49.359
all sound good and everything is a bit of a challenge

01:16:49.359 --> 01:16:51.319
in terms of like getting the video quality good.

01:16:51.439 --> 01:16:55.340
So we're still like, it's good now, but I'm a

01:16:55.340 --> 01:16:57.840
little picky. So I want to find a way to make

01:16:57.840 --> 01:17:00.159
a couple of changes somehow. I just don't know

01:17:00.159 --> 01:17:03.460
how yet without a spending obscene amount of

01:17:03.460 --> 01:17:08.239
money and time, you know, cause we all got 10

01:17:08.239 --> 01:17:11.300
grand each to drop on that. Right. Right. Yeah,

01:17:11.359 --> 01:17:16.000
exactly. I could donate a testicle. I don't need

01:17:16.000 --> 01:17:18.279
it anymore. I'm done with them. Are they worth

01:17:18.279 --> 01:17:20.100
less as you get older or are they worth the same?

01:17:21.220 --> 01:17:23.680
I don't know. I haven't looked into it. Is there

01:17:23.680 --> 01:17:35.560
like a peak testicle value? Anyways, sorry. Well,

01:17:35.560 --> 01:17:39.060
I think that's a good place to end it on is talking

01:17:39.060 --> 01:17:43.539
about testicular value over time. Does it decrease

01:17:43.539 --> 01:17:49.779
like gold? Fuck, I could have made a funny joke,

01:17:49.859 --> 01:17:53.600
but I don't remember his name. Never mind. Hugh

01:17:53.600 --> 01:17:56.619
Hefner? No, what's his name? The bicyclist that

01:17:56.619 --> 01:18:02.960
had one. Oh, Lance Armstrong. Damn, I could have

01:18:02.960 --> 01:18:05.279
made a great joke. I am a fucking cornucopia

01:18:05.279 --> 01:18:07.760
of useless knowledge up here. You know nothing

01:18:07.760 --> 01:18:10.619
about bicycling and doing that, but you remember

01:18:10.619 --> 01:18:15.119
him. Yeah, well, Lance One Nut Armstrong. The

01:18:15.119 --> 01:18:18.460
Uniballer, is he called? The Uniballer, yes.

01:18:20.479 --> 01:18:24.239
Oh, man. Oh, Ted Kaczynski, the Unibomber. He

01:18:24.239 --> 01:18:26.340
was an interesting man. That'd be a fun episode.

01:18:29.079 --> 01:18:32.140
Just on him? I don't know, just weird. I guess

01:18:32.140 --> 01:18:34.100
that'd be a weird episode called Weird Terrorists.

01:18:34.100 --> 01:18:39.439
I don't know. Oh, maybe some of the more prolific.

01:18:41.480 --> 01:18:44.220
serial cases in America or something like that.

01:18:44.399 --> 01:18:47.119
Just an odd one. We've only done one true crime

01:18:47.119 --> 01:18:49.220
episode. We should do another one. Okay, maybe

01:18:49.220 --> 01:18:52.720
we'll flex into that a little bit. Yeah, we can

01:18:52.720 --> 01:18:58.140
flex into that. Spit on it and shove it in there

01:18:58.140 --> 01:19:09.600
like a bad girl. Jesus Christ. Sorry. Oh, man.

01:19:11.960 --> 01:19:15.579
I have no words for what you just did. You should

01:19:15.579 --> 01:19:20.520
be ashamed of yourself. Never. I apologize for

01:19:20.520 --> 01:19:25.020
nothing. I meant to do that earlier when we talked

01:19:25.020 --> 01:19:28.100
about hedonism stuff. Hedonism bot is my favorite

01:19:28.100 --> 01:19:35.479
one from Futurama. I apologize for nothing. I

01:19:35.479 --> 01:19:39.949
love that show. I think we can wrap this up and

01:19:39.949 --> 01:19:46.010
say thanks again for hanging out with us. I have

01:19:46.010 --> 01:19:49.989
retroactively added the discord link to all of

01:19:49.989 --> 01:19:52.789
the descriptions on all of our shows on all of

01:19:52.789 --> 01:19:56.590
our platforms. So there are now no excuses to

01:19:56.590 --> 01:19:59.649
not find the discord. So it's there. If you just

01:19:59.649 --> 01:20:03.350
hit the little dropdown, like on Spotify and

01:20:03.350 --> 01:20:05.430
whatnot, you can find the discord link right

01:20:05.430 --> 01:20:15.000
there. So. Join us. Become one. You can get in

01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:17.979
on the shenanigans. Join us on Twitch when we

01:20:17.979 --> 01:20:20.760
do this stuff because it can get fun. It can

01:20:20.760 --> 01:20:24.539
get lively. You can see the noodles and dips

01:20:24.539 --> 01:20:28.039
in action. You can also see chat. I'm so sorry

01:20:28.039 --> 01:20:30.579
for those that... Sometimes, sometimes, yes.

01:20:30.699 --> 01:20:33.479
There are apologetic, worthy things going on

01:20:33.479 --> 01:20:37.689
in chat sometimes. Sometimes. Usually. Every

01:20:37.689 --> 01:20:43.010
fucking episode. Are you kidding? Dishing out

01:20:43.010 --> 01:20:45.649
therapy one episode at a time, okay? Fuck, I

01:20:45.649 --> 01:20:47.050
wouldn't need the therapy at the rate we're going.

01:20:47.750 --> 01:20:50.750
Jesus Christ. You know a therapist. You're good.

01:20:50.869 --> 01:20:55.170
Yeah, but he's expensive. Well, that's what them

01:20:55.170 --> 01:20:59.710
hands are for, buddy. Oh, Jesus. Put on the sacks

01:20:59.710 --> 01:21:09.539
and just... Anyways, thanks for hanging out with

01:21:09.539 --> 01:21:11.779
the guys. We'll, we'll catch you next time and

01:21:11.779 --> 01:21:14.439
we'll see what we can get into with a possible

01:21:14.439 --> 01:21:19.479
episode on the future of society with kids and

01:21:19.479 --> 01:21:22.000
how fucked we might be. That's, that's potentially

01:21:22.000 --> 01:21:25.260
on the burner. So thanks again for hanging out

01:21:25.260 --> 01:21:28.199
with us and we love you and we'll see you next

01:21:28.199 --> 01:21:28.520
time.
