Join us on Now We Consume. Take in the knowledge.
Take in the laughs. Indulge in the topics with
us. The Now We Consume podcast will take you
through the parts of your day you normally dread.
Why suffer through the existential crisis of
life alone when you can do it with us? And now
we consume. This is not meant to be a conspiracy
episode or podcast, but we make over some topics
that dance that line like a toddler dances on
their mother's last nerve. This podcast is rated
I. For immature audiences only. If you enjoy
making a face in movies that looks like a turtle
getting reeled while getting ready to get glazed
like the gingerbread man, you've come to the
right spot. Hi, and welcome back to the Now We
Consume podcast. I'm Pip, your host, and with
me as always is my co -host, Gibbs. You know,
I love your intros, but sometimes I'm disgusted
by them. Glaze me! Glaze me! That's all I can
think of. It's just a turtle that... Oh, yes.
There's got to be a weird edit out there with
that. We do love our turtle porn. We? No, no,
no, no. No, you're not throwing me into that.
You are a fan of that noise, too. It's funny.
You're the one that posted the Discord. There's
two different things. I reference it. You post
it. That's a whole different. I did actually
put the noise in. That is my doing. I can even
put out the audio afterwards. Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
We should do that in post. But tonight, we're
going to be talking about the downward spiral
of the entertainment industry. And as we are
a part of said entertainment industry, sort of.
You know, I hadn't factored that in at all for
tonight. I know, right? It didn't even occur
to me. We're entertaining? I don't know. We are
part of the problem. But the problem. Yes. I
do want to take a quick aside to mention two
things. First, I want to give a shout out to
my son, Connor. Today, 420 is his birthday. So
happy birthday, Connor. He turned 11 years old
today. So, hell yeah. First of all, fuck, that
makes me old. I know because you remember when
he was born. I know. Good God. Second of all,
hell of a birthday to have. I know, right? So
you've got to be careful in a few years. I know.
And second, found out very early this morning
that we crossed a big milestone for the show.
We hit, or I guess we crossed the 1 ,000 download
mark prior to going to episode 20. Uh, so thank
you everybody that's listened. Um, that is a
very big thing. That's a big deal. Big milestone
that I honestly did not think we would hit for
quite a while. So thank you to everybody that's,
uh, taking the time to tune in and join us on
the ride. But, uh, Gibbs, if you want to take
it for a couple of seconds and yeah, absolutely.
And then touch some, uh, some, some deep tips
and I knew you were going to do it. but no definitely
thank you everybody that's listened we just did
this as like a fun pet project and we received
a lot more support and outreach than we ever
expected now that I have my finances in order
I do want to starting this week like doing some
more investments and stuff in this show and starting
to put more effort towards it now that the rest
of my life outside of this is starting to finally
get organized I actually got to spend time yesterday
and, like, do some fun things, which, like, to
me is incredible. That's awesome. But that being
said. Will we get shorts anytime soon? This week,
absolutely, actually. Wow. Okay, you heard it
here first, folks. No, I'm not kidding. So long
story short, outside of this, after work, I've
had to do, like, trainings and other stuff in
different classes and whatever. I'm most of the
way through that. So as part of my requirement
for my work. So therefore. I don't have to do
that after work every day. That was turning a
12 -hour workday into like a 14 -hour workday.
Very nice. So, anyways. That's disgusting. Yeah,
I'm not a fan. Not a fan with the modern work
environment, but that's a whole other topic.
Episode. Oh, yeah. Particularly, it's an American
thing. But anyways, the downward spiral of the
entertainment industry. Now, it's kind of this
weird thing in America where... Really post -World
War II, America has been the hub of entertainment
almost globally. The hub. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I mean, if the shoe fits, it's not gone. But
America has been the hub of entertainment. We
have been kind of the center. We kind of set
the standard. We set the stage. And I know you're
giggling over there. I'll let you do your thing.
But we really are. Joking aside, both intentionally
and not, we really are. So, it's been one of
the weird things where every single time a movie
or piece of entertainment, something comes out,
everything else has to outdo it. If something
is ridiculous, something else has to be more
ridiculous. Something funny has to be funnier.
You know, science fiction has to be crazy. Then
the next one has to be crazier. The adventure
has to be more insane and everything has to be
turned up to 11 and then 12 and then 14 and 37
and 92. It becomes this exponential problem where,
but we're movies that used to captivate people
like, um, like 2001, a space Odyssey. Now, now
for anyone at home, if there's movies that we
reference here, I do recommend to look them up
because I'm going to be making some very specific
references. uh just some older movies but there's
a good reason for it when 2001 a space odyssey
came out it blew people's minds with how realistic
it looked how the the actors for the apes looked
realistic and everything and different animals
how to them it was the pinnacle of science fiction
at the time and won almost every award you could
think of it was one of the most decorated movies
of all time has it aged very well yeah it's done
decently actually it's not terrible but the point
i'm getting at is that was a movie that it was
compared to modern movies much slower paced it
was more story driven it the audience had a lot
more patience when getting to things there were
moments where you just would kind of sit there
and watch stuff unfold very slowly it comes from
an era again movies before like i would say probably
the 1890s or early 2000s it comes from a moment
to where a lot of movies you could simply enjoy
The movie as a whole and that in that moment
in time, you are watching a movie and that's
the fun of it. There's no extended political
message, nothing that's trying to wow you in
terms of like, I'm going to call this out like
a Michael Bay thing where bigger explosions,
bigger bone blazer. It's not trying to overwhelm
your senses, I believe is the point I'm trying
to get at. It used to send a message or just
sometimes it was a happy story. Like, for example,
one of my favorite movies ever, The Princess
Bride. I still believe it's one of the top movies
ever, not because of the budget, not because
of special effects, not because of the acting
or anything. Just the story. It's just a good
story. It's a great story. And that's it. And
that's fundamentally, at least for humans, when
we're going down the movie side, we have other
stuff to get to as well. But in the movies, this
is what's been lost is every single sequel has
to be bigger, better, faster, whatever. And they
get more ridiculous. They get more out of control.
And let's not forget that 2001 Space Odyssey
also helped to prove the film and video techniques
to allow for the moon landing. All right, all
right, you had me there. I was like, see, I thought
you were going to go with the realm of, you know,
you were proving that eventually AI is going
to be a real thing, and they were talking about
AI in that movie. Well, that too, but, you know,
I wanted to put the moon landing conspiracy out
there. We landed on the moon. There's no way
we did. Yes, we did. There's no way we did not
land on the moon. We had to have. I can absolutely
understand the reason people say that we didn't.
Yeah. But we did. Oh, we did. Now, the reason
why we haven't gone back, that's an entirely
different thing. I think that's way more of an
interpretation. But going back to the movie side,
the entertainment side of it. It's one of those
things where movies used to be something where
I don't want to say it was like a passion project,
but typically people that were intelligent, interested,
well -read, understood, talented, or passionate
about these topics were involved. Smart people
put time and effort into it and their heart.
Yeah. Look at, I would think, for example, again,
look at Star Wars. I'm not like the biggest Star
Wars guy. Like I do like it. And I will, I will
shit on star Trek later as a star Trek lover.
Don't get me wrong, but even with star Wars,
it's not the most well -made movie ever, but
it is a story that people can relate to or understand.
And it's meant to tell a fun, interesting and
engaging story. It's not overly complex. It's
not overly simple. It's just down the road middle.
And that's what most people enjoy our stories
like that. And unfortunately, nowadays, go to
the movies and try to find something like that.
Try to find even a movie that is, I would say,
PG friendly that isn't catered towards kids.
It's this weird dichotomy where either it's a
child movie or it's X rated. It's because it's
gone to this big extreme. And for most people,
it's just very off putting. Even the rating system
has been revised to where. what was PG 13 back
in the nineties would, uh, qualify as like G
rated now. Really? And what's PG rated or what's
PG 13 now would basically be rated R back in
the nineties. I didn't know that actually. Yeah.
If, if you watch what was allowed back then versus
what was allowed now, there is such a big shift.
in the allowable amounts of language gore and
violence in today's shows and movies versus 80s
90s early 2000s you know now that you make that
point i i think in terms like the violence and
the gore part that's that's really changed now
that i really sit here and think about that because
that part again i i'm only 30 so like i'm not
I wasn't around during the nineties to see movies
out at the movie theater. Right. I don't really,
I didn't get to see the change, but going and
watching those older movies and thinking about
it, you're right. Yeah. I mean, think about Jurassic
park. I'm sure you've watched that one. Oh yeah.
I remember going to the theaters and seeing that
and thinking, Oh my God, this is so awesome.
Oh, that's so bloody and gory. And now you can
go see terrifier in theaters. Yeah. which i was
just introduced to that a few weeks ago honestly
kind of i will admit the facial expressions kind
of funny very memeable i will admit oh dude uh
art the clown is quite memeable i hate the movies
they're so poorly written and acted but art the
clown is a solid character that that's the only
reason everything else is terrible but i started
watching it i was like wow this sucks but in
almost a good way yeah it's almost like um right
it's like donnie darko i don't know if you ever
saw that one well it's so bad it's almost good
that same kind of yeah but yeah getting back
on the movie track um movies that kind of like
set the bar and then other movies tried to match
it i'll i'll touch on some of the more recent
ones uh everybody's favorite interstellar uh
also the martian oh those are two movies where
Matt Damon had to be rescued in both of them.
But let's add a third one, Saving Private Ryan.
All three of those movies, Matt Damon had to
be rescued in. All three of those movies, really,
for when they came out, those years, set the
bar so fucking high because they were so well
done. And then other movies that tried to kind
of latch onto that. a coattail and and kind of
copy a little bit just fell so short it's because
those movies are believable in the world they
are well researched they are well thought out
i even assume it's like a movie critic because
i love to criticize movies and like point out
plot holes and issues um the martian is a hard
one for me to critique it's even saving private
ryan as like a military movie guy it is one of
the best military that hacksaw ridge i just Oh
yeah. Every time I watch them, I'm in awe. It's,
it's so well done, but that's because you had
dozens and dozens and not hundreds of people
that were very passionate, very skilled, and
they were super into it and knowledgeable about
the topic. You're talking about another movie.
I have to point out something like avatar. That
first one that set box office records at the
first, the more, the first, I think it was like
the first billion dollar movie. Oh, the blue
ones. Yeah. Yes. The Blue People. Yes. Don't
get me wrong. The cartoon is fantastic. Yeah,
I was going to say they didn't do a movie of
the cartoon. No, no, but I mean the Blue People
one. That one. Amazing movie. I still think the
other Matt Damon ones are better, although I'm
kind of realizing that I don't even look at Matt
Damon in terms of going on my way to see his
movies, but apparently I watch all his movies.
Right. And quick side note. Yes, I am fully well
aware of the. fan fiction movie that was made
of Avatar The Last Airbender. That does not count.
It does not exist. It is not a real movie. No.
There is no war in Ba Sing Se. But, yeah, there's
just that overarching continuing trend of just
putting, like, the first Avatar took, what, like,
it was like eight or ten years? Oh, yeah. And
the second one, like, fifteen. Yeah, the second
one sucked, though, in comparison. Yeah, it was
garbage. I honestly didn't even finish it. But
you know what's crazy is the shift of the movies
really ever since I would say like 2014, 2015,
2016. Let me ask you this. Have you noticed the
big movie shift ever since Avengers Endgame?
What I was going to say is I feel like the Marvel
Cinematic Universe has unfortunately ruined all
other sci -fi action and even a lot of comedy.
Yeah. Because that formula that they developed
for that universe was so uniquely good. It was
fun for everybody. It was relatable. They had
the best writers, the best actors and actresses,
and they had a coherent storyline because this
was already done, you know, 40, 50 years ago,
by the way, for the most part. And they can just
make little edits and tweaks as they needed to.
But all the hard work was already done for them.
Yeah. Which is kind of insane when you think
about it, because. It seems like Hollywood lately
can't write a good movie to save their lives.
If you look at any of the recent movies that
are purely 100 % created by Hollywood, they all
suck. They're all terrible. Nobody likes them.
Nobody does. Except the critics, which are paid
to like them. Yeah, well, just look at Rotten
Tomatoes. I never look at the critic reviews
because they're useless. God, no. But where we're
going with this discussion is there was a point.
To where I hate to say it this way. I think the
critical, the, the might, what might be one of
the greatest, I would say pieces of entertainment
history and human history is going to be those
last five or 10 movies of the Marvel cinematic
universe leading up to end game and having one
of the greatest, if not the greatest cinematic
movie of a moment of all time. And then everything
else since then seems to pale in comparison.
There is nothing even close. And unfortunately,
they are a victim of their own success. Because
the problem is everything else is trying to rip
it off. Everything else is trying to rip off
that moment. And nothing feels genuine. They're
not willing to take the risk because here's a
big problem. Most movie development companies
or really production companies, they're all just
basically fronts for investment firms. So the
problem is they put up $200 million. They have
a movie. They get these actors and actresses.
They say, hey, we can pull in about $300 million
of revenue. So out of that $200 million movie,
we're going to add an additional $100 million
in merchandising and advertising. And we make
our money back. We make some profit. Good. On
to the next one. Unfortunately, in the movie
industry or the entertainment, this goes for
TV shows and everything else, so much of it is
no longer about the product. The product is no
longer the movie. The product is you as the consumer.
The product is you sitting down and paying to
watch it in the theater. They don't care if it's
good. As long as you go to see it. Or on your
streaming platform. Yeah. Did you see? I don't
know if you saw this. I saw somebody. There's
a new bundle, which is basically the same as
cable, where it's like Hulu, Disney, and ESPN.
It was like $86 a month with ads. Gross. With
ads. At least give me the lube for free. Like,
fucking Christ, are you kidding me? I was wondering
how long it would take for us to get back to
the cable bundles. Yo, ho, ho, I'm a pirate.
Like, out of the tunnel. I'm not paying that.
And I have so many people that aren't. No way.
They're screwing themselves out of the market.
Sorry with that little sidetrack, but I just
had to. No, what sucks is that you've got guys
like me that have kids, or people like me. Women
do, too. Obviously. Hey, it's 2025. You never
know how it is. Don't get me started. The younger
ones don't have the technical prowess to get
on the Internet and go to the black hat sites
to obtain the materials for free without getting
their computer destroyed or infected. So that's
a lost art almost. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, we're
going to be the OG pirates. Right? You know?
Set sail on the high seas, buddy. Oh, that's
why VPN and a few other things. But it's going
to be the problem going forward, as I'm noticing.
If you look at, for instance, what happened in
Star Wars in the last 15 years. Oh, yeah. Let
me just say the original three will always be
the air quote best ones. Empire Strikes Back,
probably my all -time personal favorite. Revenge
of the Sith is probably the only other one that's
like a close tie. Everybody loves Darth Vader.
Everybody wants more Darth Vader. We're finally
getting Lord Vader, hopefully. I really hope
they don't cock that one up and let's see what
they do with it. The passion projects that have
been done for Vader over the years, There was
a guy out of, I believe Canada that runs a YouTube
channel. He put his own money into that and shot
like a pretty reasonably well done half hour
episode. That was just pure fan fiction of like
a Vader type episode. Disney put the kibosh on
it. They were like, Hey, this is too good. We
don't want you making money off of this. So he
was like, well, okay, can I just show it if I
don't make money? And they were like, Yes. But
if you do make money, it has to go to us. Yeah.
That just shows you where the priorities are.
The last three movies just need stricken from
the record, deleted, destroyed, never to be spoken
of again, and reshot. So the only recent movie
that's good is Rogue One. Rogue One was fucking
awesome, especially the last goddamn few minutes
with Vader. It is what tickles. The funny bone
that is Saving Private Ryan. Yes. It finally,
for the first time, showed Star Wars how it should
always have been, I think, from day one. I really
think. What? All right. Oh, anyways. So, it's
one of those things where I really wish that
they would have invested more into the Rogue
One. style star wars for the more adult audience
and for really how movies are nowadays where
they're a little bit more gruesome or gory or
a little bit more realistic in some ways in terms
of any sort of military confrontation violence
that type of thing yes and that was that was
one thing i loved about episode three oh yeah
like the combat scenes The choreography, the
lightsaber choreography is the best they've ever
done it. Nothing's ever topped it. The AI assisted
remake of the lightsaber battle between Obi -Wan
and Vader from episode four. Better. Oh, so much
better. I really wish that somebody would do
a fucking remake of episode four and just like
splice that in. Oh, yeah. That scene is just
so perfect. Oh. um but that's but also as far
as sorry to step on your on your pp a second
uh the animated series of star wars is really
fucking well done i loved that set it was so
good did you watch the bad even spawned the bad
batch i'll be ready to say that is such a really
well done it touches on a lot of stuff that folks
in the younger crowd watching that stuff aren't
going to see a whole lot of like quality content
of yeah bad batch is really fucking good it has
such an excellent message without trying to beat
you over the head with it yeah and that's that's
what i enjoy with it i i enjoy movies that have
more of a subtle message rather than trying to
tell you you know this is overtly right this
is overtly wrong you just kind of get to follow
along with a fun story and and from perspective
it's one of those yeah it it's one of those um
The animated series is one of those deals where
they tell the whole story and they don't, like,
force push people from the, what is it, LGBTQI,
LMNOP, plus, minus, asterisk, division, thorn,
parentheses, people. So. It's nice that it's
just about the happenings that's in Star Wars
without pushing modern politics into it. Because
that was the problem with Kathleen Kennedy's
Star Wars. She was so concerned with pushing
certain political movements that it sacrificed
plot points in the movie. So much so that they
even changed how physics works, how certain things
worked in the Star Wars universe just to satisfy
her political message. And it really undermined
the entirety of the story. the reality is i'm
not somebody that's like super invested in star
wars like i like it but however i'm not gonna
be someone that's like oh my god it sucks that
they ruined everything but the only reason i
complain is because all you have to do is watch
the the other movies to understand your ground
rules all you have to do is sit there and mind
you if you're gonna actually i don't know be
the director of a movie and there's been like
six previous movies You would think, oh, all
I have to do. You've got some solid groundwork.
It's pretty simple. It's easily lined out. You
know what you can and can't do. And imaginary
watchers going, wow, none of this fucking matters.
And putting it in the trash can. And then saying,
I'm just going to do what I want. No. That's
especially something that's as beloved as something
like Star Wars. Or even, God forbid, for what
they did to Star Trek for a little bit. Same
thing. It's one of those things to where. You
have to stay within what makes sense in that
universe. Because if there are no rules and nothing's
built, then nothing matters. And that's the problem
with recent Marvel. Where because of the multiverse
where there are no rules and nothing matters,
why would you care? If actions do not have consequences
in movies, why are you going to watch it? Why
are you going to get invested? Because you know
they can just come back or disappear or reappear
or suddenly do whatever. i think it's one of
those things where we as humans we live linear
where all of our actions have consequences a
to b b to c if you watch the multiverse theory
fucked that i can't relate to it how am i supposed
to relate to that as someone you know like again
at the end of endgame spoilers i'll have to say
that because there's got to be one person like
oh there's spoilers but at the end at the end
of endgame when tony finally dies after all those
years, all those movies, all of that time, those
20, 30 hours I've spent in the movie theater
and the countless hours I spent watching the
TV shows with him finally dying and being gone.
That gravity of like, wow. You lost the heart
of it. What are we going to do? How are we going
to rebuild? How are you going to? All of that
has been completely taken away by going to the
multiverse, especially now, as much as I like
the, I love the idea of him being Dr. Doom. and
go in that route, which looks really cool, I
still have to juxtapose it with, yeah, but he's
not dead. Yeah. So, it's the problem not just
with Marvel, but with almost every single movie
series. Look at them rebooting all of the old
stuff. Anything that was previously done. It's
rather than doing a new idea or a new topic or
a continuation, everything is, oh, let's reboot
it and do a prequel. Or let's reboot it and just
do the same thing over again. for copyright issues
or to keep intellectual property on or anything
else like that. Unfortunately, it's very boring
and very lazy. Mm -hmm. Yeah, and like you said
with Star Trek, what they did with Discovery.
I am so mad with that. I have refused to watch
Discovery on principle. I will say. Lower Decks
has been awesome. The animated show. I will say
Picard was really good. I'll give them that.
Picard was good. And Star Trek Strange New Worlds.
That one I haven't done yet. Aside from a couple
of episodes that it turns out even most of the
fan base didn't give a whole lot of shits about.
The Star Trek universe that has been Coming from
the Paramount Studios, I think. Has been more
or less pretty solid. Yeah. Strange New Worlds.
The new season comes out here in a few months.
I am very much anticipating that. Captain Pike,
Anson Mount. He is a gorgeous, beautiful man.
He is. He is on my list. Apparently, I have a
list because. Neil deGrasse Tyson is also on
that list, as well as Terry Crews, apparently.
These are beautiful men, okay? I am a straight
man, but those are my men. Neil deGrasse Tyson?
He is a beautiful, sweet, sweet chocolate man
who could put me to sleep just by talking about
astrophysics, okay? Have you ever listened to
him talk the way that he can just soothe your
soul to sleep? It is so entrancing. You mean
Morgan Freeman? No, Neil deGrasse Tyson, the
astrophysicist. All right, that was a flashback
of sentences you said to me. I'm surprised you
were glazing Neil deGrasse Tyson there. That
was surprising. I wasn't expecting that. He is
a sweet, sweet, beautiful chocolate man. He is
awesome. He is amazing. Yes, commercial science
man, yes. Fair enough. God, I got all hot and
bothered. I lost my place. I would agree with
you that Star Trek, at least they've done better.
I did say Discovery. I was very pissed with how
they changed the Klingons and how they did a
few other things. I got the very loose reasoning,
but it was stupid. I'm sorry. But inverting that,
looking at what they did with Picard by continuing
the story, about asking people that were involved
in Next Generation and Star Trek, about getting
writers involved and people that were into it
and also the original actors and actresses and
continuing that. That is the proper way to do
it. You're not trying to reinvent the wheel.
You're just continuing the same story by making
it, the entire thing loop into it being all about
one person the entire time that was always his
story. cherry on top thank you that's how it
should have been done that was satisfying that
was correctly done that was awesome yeah letting
stories have a nice happy ending because realistically
the last episode of next generation it was good
but it didn't quite cinch it up you know there
were still some things left on the table well
that was one of those things where unfortunately
they didn't know where to go with it. And at
that point they were kind of focusing more on
DS nine of Voyager. And it was kind of, I'll
be honest. I like Voyager. I like Voyager a lot.
I know why you watch Voyager. Hey, she could
assimilate me anytime. That is how I knew I was
becoming a man when I was 12. It was her and
Padme where I was like, oh, yeah, I'm definitely
straight. I was like, yeah, yeah. No questions.
Oh, Lord. But, you know, not just with movies
and TV shows, but. We can touch on music just
a bit. The music scene has changed quite a bit
over the years. What used to take people months
sometimes to write a song, they can type up a
few bits of lyrics and just kind of say the same
thing over and over. And that's the whole song.
Wasn't there like a song that came out in the
past couple years that was literally like five
words the whole song? So, okay, now you're getting
into my realm of bullshit. Yes, I wanted to slip
this one into your realm. This topic enrages
me. So, there was a time when writing and recording
and producing a song took a lot of effort, time,
dedication. That was before the majority of pop
songs. are now produced and written by the same
handful of people i don't know if anyone in the
audience is aware of this the same 13 to 20 people
write every single one of the top songs or top
pop artist songs all of them the top 100 i'm
willing to bet you 80 of those are produced by
the same 12 to 15 people almost all of them most
any of the big pop artists you see they don't
write their own songs all of them are outsourced
And you know what all of them are run by? They're
run by individuals that own production companies
or media companies. And they do research to figure
out what's the in -trend thing this year. What's
going to be the in -thing? There's this famous
thing called the millennial whoop. Is that like
from Arsenio Hall? No. Unfortunately, no. Do
you remember how songs back in the mid -2000s
did like the, oh, wow, oh, wow, oh, wow. All
the songs had those. That was a thing they created.
They purposely did it. With the idea of, wow,
we're going to make all these songs have the
same catchy thing. And we're going to continue
doing it. And that's how they got people to get
into songs that weren't even that good. Because,
oh, they had the catch. Mind control. Well, again,
the CIA strikes again, you know, with their research.
That's just more proof that the Illuminati were
involved in all that. Well, we're getting to
that point a little bit. Yeah, buddy. Because
that's why I turned it over to you. Yes. But
the point I want to get at is, unfortunately,
most pop songs and really a lot of popular songs
on the radio, they're only going off of trends.
That's all it is. And number two, the other problem
is there used to be a time where songs... well
it's mostly shit now there there was a time where
a song would either tell a story elicit an emotion
elicit a reaction it would affect you some way
emotionally and then you have songs like wop
by cardi b yeah that's uh yeah and maybe maybe
it's because i'm becoming an old man slowly We
can't play Baby It's Cold Outside on the radio,
but we can play WAP. This is part of my problem.
Jesus, that moped. The fuck was that? Did you
shit yourself? That was a moped. So for the viewers
at home, I need to describe what just happened.
I have a window over here that I can see outside.
Sure, sure. there's a window right here now i
have a monitor here but i can see up below and
above it now below that i watched a guy standing
up on the moped sideways riding it down the street
and mind you there's potholes out there so i
don't know how he's doing it but he he was full
throttle giving her all she's got captain and
he was going like maybe five six miles an hour
so anyways that was that was a sight but okay
So real quick, before you get back on your tangent,
I started to lose my marbles for a second because
I was thinking of that Anaconda song. Do you
remember the Anaconda fart edit? No. I highly
encourage everybody. It should still be up, but
I think she was trying to get it taken down.
Yeah, it's just good old -fashioned toilet humor.
We're fine. But the Anaconda fart edit was just
a work of art. And that's part of it, too. It's
okay to have fun with music. I love that. Having
a good laugh, a good amount of fun, having a
good time. Weird Al. Yeah, Weird Al. Weird Al
was the master of doing that. Well, parodies.
Parodies are awesome. Yes. We all love it. He
did one with aluminum foil. Oh, Jesus. Royals.
Yes. Yeah. Royals. He did aluminum foil, which
also he talked about the Illuminati. But it's
part of the point to where music used to be something
where a lot of bands sounded very different.
A lot of artists sounded very different. Now,
a lot of them use the same prerecorded drum parts.
they use the same samples that are basically
pre -done guitars or piano stuff or whatever
and it's edited in a way in which it makes it
sound original but i hate to say it it takes
away from the creativity of having somebody physically
play an instrument or and again i'm biased on
this one you know but was a music teacher play
a bunch of instruments so like i'm going to be
biased in this one i'll be honest but the part
that really irks me is the lack of creativity
or depth in the lyrics And also, I guess I would
have to say that the hedonistic nature of some
of these lyrics, the issue I have, honestly,
some of it's just downright grotesque. Like sometimes
it's like, what in the fuck are you talking about?
Or what are you going on about? But yet, weirdly
enough, it's so popular, it gets played to kids
in elementary school and middle school and gets
played everywhere. And I don't know, I guess
maybe it's just me, but I'm kind of getting sick
of like... kids being involved with things that
are sexualized in the, in the music industry
is that gets pushed really hard and it really
bothers me. Yeah. And, uh, I, I have some, some
side thoughts on that when I get into the whole
Illuminati thing. Oh, okay. Yeah, buddy. Um,
I'm going to tickle your pickle on that one.
Yeah. Take me out to dinner first. Jesus. One
thing that really kind of pisses me off is auto
-tune. Fun fact, I have some kind of weird audio
condition where I cannot discern vocal context
from the auto -tune in some songs. I cannot hear
lyrics over auto -tuned voices over certain frequencies
of music in songs. No idea. It's whatever frequency
crossover there is. I cannot distinguish it.
Oh, okay. I can, I can tell you that there are
words. Yeah. But I cannot make out the words
because of whatever weird frequency they're using.
Got you. Okay. Like you've, you've, you've messed
around with like audio software. You can do all
the fun little like effects and shit. It almost
sounds like a little like, but like in auto tune,
if that makes any sense. So, shit that's done
like that, especially like pop music, they go
way overboard with that. I'll be honest with
you. Even as someone that's a musician that is
a recording artist and knows how to do this stuff,
even I have trouble hearing it. I think it's
because I didn't grow up listening to this kind
of crap. But sometimes I have no idea what they're
saying on the radio. I genuinely have no fucking
clue. I think that's just a generational thing
because a lot of the kids... mumble when they
talk and it's just like the new way of speaking
that's coming around yeah but i could still even
understand what pearl jam was singing about like
don't get me wrong they were mumbling but like
i could hear it like at least i can understand
where some of this stuff like it's no clue don't
get me wrong pearl jam did not announce any one
of their fucking words oh no and uh the halftime
show this year i I've seen snippets of the guy.
I don't remember his name. No idea what the hell
he was talking about. I didn't even watch it.
I'll be honest. Me either. I don't watch hockey.
So whatever the hell was going on, I have watched
some edits of the halftime show that were really
good. I think someone did like a Teletubbies
edit or something like that. It was hilarious.
You know what? I still think America was. was
2001 when we had Creed play. Oh, yeah. The halftime
show. Yeah. Before the whole 9 -11 thing. That
was early 2001. But that looked like such peak
America back then. America. I'm so jealous. Because
nowadays you've got to listen to... Fuck yeah.
I don't know. Maybe... And to be fair, I'm going
to be biased because I'm just not into modern
pop because I just find it very boring. I'll
be honest. But it also just comes across as so
fucking lazy, dude. yeah it's so easy and that's
that's the only thing like like a little little
side little side diatribe i feel like so many
of these pop artists are they're not selling
music they're selling sex they're just selling
their body and their look and they're basically
there is a very large sect of the music industry
where that is what they sell especially if you
watch the videos that's my that's part of my
problem is like It's just it's one thing if you
were gonna do that and be like an 18 only club
or something like that I really don't care but
like I have 12 year old 14 year olds go to some
of these shows No, I Will say just as an aside
Because she's probably one of the all -time best
female performers in my mind for a few reasons
Shakira yeah, if you go watch the video for she
wolf and just turn the volume down It's a great
video. I wouldn't know that one offhand. Well,
go look it up later. But getting off of music
after the Shakira video, shows and movies that
have roles and characters that were made for
only certain races. This is something that pisses
off a lot of people. For example, the BET network.
I have a problem with that. So I'm going to piss
in someone's Cheerios here. Why are the Cheerios?
They do nothing wrong. Well, they're round and
they have the hole so I can kind of try to make
it through without touching the sides. So I hope
somebody likes the salty. Are you kidding me?
What do you have, a fucking magnifying glass
attached to your penis or something? What are
you going to do with that? Jesus Christ. I'm
going to take a piss with a spotting scope over
here. Fuck. God. I have zero problems with the...
What's the phrase everybody likes today? Is it
still the African -American community? Is it
just the black community now? Probably African
-Americans. I have zero qualms with them having
shows and movies that are dedicated to all the
stuff that they have and continue to go through
because it's relatable material for them. What
I dislike is that if there is any actor of any
other race trying to get into the roles, they
are flatly refused. Flip side. They're not allowed
to be refused. So why the double standard is
my question. Again, I understand it is called
the black entertainment television, but if we
tried to do the white entertainment television,
we would get so excoriated. We would not be allowed
to ever show our faces in public again. I agree.
So the simple question I have is just why the
double standard and why can't everybody just
get along in that respect oh i'd agree with you
100 so either you have a quality or you don't
you gotta take a pick you can't you can't get
the cherry pick be like i get this right but
you don't like no yeah number one also number
two not for nothing whatever happened to like
the nutty professor and like medea family and
like there were so many other great like mostly
african -american like american movies Oh, dude,
Eddie Murphy was fucking great. Honestly, I will
give him credit. He was basically responsible
for, like, 90 % of those. But, like, whatever
happened to those? Because those were fucking,
like, The Nutty Professor and The Nutty Professor
2 are some of my favorite movies of all time.
But, unfortunately, from what I see on, like,
the BET channel, it's just depravity. And I hate
to say it, but it's just, like, all these people
cheating on each other and justifying it and
doing all this weird stuff with family. It's
just, it's obnoxious. And I cannot believe. i've
watched a few shows and it just seems like they
just continue to push the social narrative that
is that's true today instead of trying to do
anything to correct it yeah it's it's okay so
i'll i'll whip the bandit off and just be real
i once watched a couple episodes of the housewives
of atlantic so i was like i i'm curious what
what this all what's going on here um okay it's
basically an entire episode just about You know,
women and men bitching and complaining about
their significant other and then basically having
this victim mentality the whole time, being like,
oh, the world hates me because of the color of
my skin and all this other crap and yada, yada,
yada. And I'm sitting there thinking, like, you
guys just made an hour -long episode discussing
basically how you could cheat on each other,
make fun of your friends, do stupid stuff, and
you're a victim. And it's like, this is some
of the most depressing and just, like, downright
victimizing content I've ever watched. And imagine
that for seasons, like 10 or 20 seasons for this
stuff. And you wonder why a society where we
have some warped views on stuff, it's like, well,
yeah, imagine if that's where you were being
fed every day. No matter who you are, that's
crazy. I can't believe it. There are a lot of
very unrealistic and unrelatable tropes that
get pushed. I know that's a big one for you.
Okay. So, there's one of those things, I can
only speak as a guy, but I know as most of us
guys, all of us, not all of us, I'd say most
of us internally, we always want to be the hero.
We want to be the savior. We want to be the person
that's able to defend our family, defend our
friends, do something great, be something more
of ourselves, be part of a community, all those
kind of things. And I've noticed a trend in more
recent movies of squashing that idea entirely.
I know it's one thing to be contrarian for the
sake of a movie, but it's a whole nother thing
to have a bunch of men in every movie seem like
they're all stupid, feckless, weak, can't do
anything. It basically becomes this weird dehumanization
of men that I've noticed. And also same thing
to do it to women too, which is weird. Like they
also take women for, for other things as well
and make them seem either really stupid or really
incompetent or really useless or anything else.
And it's very weird to be doing that, especially
when not for nothing, when we're talking about
relatable tropes, there's a lot of things in
society that most people experience and most
people go with that can be relatable in a movie.
That's why they're common. Not for nothing, it's
very hard to do a movie about something that's
very, very weird and have it seem relatable,
have people be interested in it. Most people
watch movies because they can relate to it in
some manner. Yeah. I'll tell you what, for all
of the weird shit that's in it, if you take out
the insane tech stuff, there are a lot of episodes
of Black Mirror that really hit that relatable
narrative. Well, I think it's because it's well
written. Oh, yeah. The new season of Black Mirror,
holy shit balls. I'm only a few episodes in and
holy fuck. You've mentioned that a couple times
now. Yeah, buddy. Go ahead. I guess to wrap up
what I was trying to say is I know from a male
perspective, because I would have to talk about
this, I have seen so many movies over and over
basically dissing on guys for being guys or boys
for being boys, men for being men. And it comes
to a point to where it's like, why would I want
to support or watch these movies or films? When
I constantly feel like I'm bad just for the way
I was born. And again, I can't speak for anybody
else. I can't speak for anything else. But when
you get fed that or force fed that over movies
and movies and movies for years and years or
even a decade, it wears on you. It comes to a
point where it's like, why? Why fucking bother?
Why watch this? Why put money to it? Why am I
going to support this? And I'm not saying it's
every movie. I'm not even saying it's majority.
But there has been a subsect of movies where
it's like. wow, if you were a guy, you can't
catch a break. You were always the villain no
matter what. And it's hard to be relatable. It's
hard to make a guy want to spend money on that
or see that. Yeah. Good writing will always be
better than good actors. The best actor going,
like Ryan Reynolds, can't make a good movie out
of a bad script. The Green Lantern. Great example.
Yeah. He even regretted that one, but he did
it to do it. Yeah, but don't worry. Deadpool,
he made it right. Yes. Deadpool is such a good
set. Oh, yeah. I love those movies. But it is
true. I would think having people that are passionate
and knowledgeable about these movies and making
a good script and spending the time to do it
right and not just try to rush it out to make
money while it's relevant. It shows. It really
shows. One of the shows, for example, I have
to point out recently, I watched Reacher on Amazon
Prime. Oh, yeah. It has somebody that read the
books and hated the Tom Cruise one because it
was completely wrong. And then Alan Richardson
comes in and it's like, Jesus Christ. Does it
right? This is one of the best, not only casting
decisions I've ever seen in my life, but the
script is fucking perfect. That's the way you
do it. If you want to do a great TV show to have
it be exactly what it's supposed to be. that's
how you do it and i don't understand why it's
that complicated especially when there's so many
movies and books or adaptations where you have
a lot of stuff to pull from and the character's
motivations of most books or tv shows are pretty
fucking simple because it's got to be relatable
um let me say on on the book to movie adaptation
uh i waited for literal decades uh for a book
to become a movie um And God damn it, as soon
as I said it, it went away. Fahrenheit 451? No.
I thought it was a letdown. Yeah, it was. Great
book. The movie was like a four out of ten. Shit.
It was a Tom Clancy book. Michael B. Jordan was
in it. Oh, shit. Oh. Yeah, fuck. Now, I have
to Google this. Michael B. Jordan, one of my
favorite actors of all time. Without remorse,
that was it. Thank you. Thank you, Google. So
without remorse, I picked up that book when I
was in the Navy, and I had such an issue putting
that book down because it was so good, and it
was a thick book. I'm talking like capitalized,
bold, double C, thick. Did you have the hard
cover or the soft cover for that one? Soft cover.
It's all I had on the ship. But I read it twice
on one deployment. And I read it, I think, two
more times after that. So I was waiting for this
book to get made into a movie. And what they
did on screen was such an absolute atrocity.
Now, again, don't get me wrong. Michael B. Jordan,
great actor. He played the part he was given
well. That was not what I was expecting. Like
a thousand and 50 million percent. That is not
what I sat down to watch. But it shows that the
director did not know the topic. They didn't
know. No. They made a whole different script.
It followed like nothing. Why bother having the
title at that point? That's my biggest issue.
If you're going to go with something that already
exists, At least pull from it. At least be somewhat
close. The comic book guys. Dr. Manhattan. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Fantastic Four? Or no? No. No, sorry.
Dr. Manhattan. Where's that from? The Watchmen.
Oh, Jesus. I haven't seen that in a while. The
Watchmen was perfectly done. They essentially
used the graphic novel as the script. Perfectly
done. Look at what they're doing with Invincible.
Oh, yeah. Dude, Invincible's fucking great. Solid
show. It's one of the best. And same thing with
The Boys. The Boys is probably one of the greatest
examples I can see because they do take some
liberties from the comics, but Jesus Christ,
the writing is top -notch, the scripting is top
-notch, the acting is out of this world. There's
a reason why The Boys would be considered one
of the greatest TV shows of all time. Yeah. It's
fantastic. I dislike a lot of the gender politic
pushing in the boys. But I didn't read the comics,
so I don't know if that's in there. I've noticed
that they've been toning it down, if you noticed,
in the last season. I think they've realized.
Again, nobody wants to watch these movies to
be lectured about stuff. Politics is... boring
and bullshit enough as it is right now i don't
want to see it in movies if i want to go watch
a movie about politics i will go watch a movie
about politics there was a um there was a really
funny one a few years ago um about this lady
and someone else that was running for like a
local governor or something like that it was
actually hilarious it was a great movie but that's
the only time i've gone at the gone to the movie
stop wow i can't wait to look at politics everything
else please get the fuck away from me right Um,
yeah, lots of the newer movies kind of rely on,
uh, on the big name, like star power, you know?
Yeah. And, uh, they just kind of push that and
don't put as much effort into the script. Um,
and that happens entirely too much. You can see
it literally everywhere in the movies, on TV,
on streaming, literally everywhere. So there's
a lot of that going on and way too much. Um,
promoting race or diversity over quality uh all
the dei bullshit that's been going on that's
that's been an issue and hopefully it stops and
continues to stop what i heard from the writers
guild strike and a few other things in hollywood
they'd be getting rid of a lot of their dei requirements
and initiatives for good because that was now
becoming an issue i have no problem with Put
the person most qualified into the position that's
open. Period. Autocracy. Doesn't matter. Doesn't
matter anything else. Just fill the roles with
the most qualified individuals. Period. Don't
give someone special permissions because of the
color of their skin. I don't like racism either
way. Or who they sleep with. Yeah. Why does that
matter? If you're a good actor, a good actress,
or a good writer, or a good director. Just find
the best person for that job. You're 100 % right.
It's a meritocratic system. But the idea that
says, oh yeah, we have to hire this person because
of the color of their skin or who they sleep
with, that's BS. I'm sorry. And it shows. I hate
to say it, but the proof's in the pudding. And
I know I kind of already touched on this one.
Forcing the LGBTQILMNOP Plus minus asterisk division,
Thorne parentheses, agendas and ideologies over
storylines. Do what? Where are you getting that
part of the acronym from? You should just say
LGBTQ or less. I don't know. I don't know. They've
added a lot of new genders in the past year.
There's two spirit and there's a few other ones.
So that brings us. To the part of the show that
I have been most anxious to get about. It gets
talking about. All throughout the entertainment
industry. Loosen your belts and get comfortable,
boys and girls. Alleged involvement of the Illuminati
and the possibility of a list actors using things
like code words in public. to engage in sex acts
and trafficking of minors and other marginalized
people. This has been a very big thing over the
years. Harvey Weinstein, Ellen DeGeneres, Jay
-Z, Tom Hanks, Beyonce, all the big names are
potentially involved and have been implicated
in a lot of bullshit. They use code words like
pizza. When they're talking about kids. You're
talking about Pizzagate is what you're referring
to. Pizzagate is one of the big things, yeah.
Well, really it was the Jeffrey Epstein stuff
is really what kind of blew up on this because
this has been an underground thing for decades.
For decades, yeah. When the Epstein stuff came
up and when certain people in Hollywood, particularly
people like Tom Hanks, for example, decided to
flee the country and no longer had a permanent
home here, people started raising questions.
Mm -hmm. Don't get me wrong. It could be due
to tax stuff. As he was based out of California,
he was making so much money that he might have
just wanted to not have to pay the taxes, but
I don't know. It was not because of tax stuff,
Gibbs. Provocative acts and symbolism on stage
and on cover art and even during interviews that
are supposedly used to make various call -outs
to the Illuminati. covering up an eye, the triangle,
all this other bullshit that people say that
they do, you know, oh, like all this stuff. Yeah,
they say those are call -outs to the Illuminati
and different things that they do, even things
that they wear. There are magazine covers where
you've got a lot of these big stars sitting there
like with a hand over their eye and they're looking
out. That's their... Level of involvement or
level of call out to the Illuminati. And you
can look all this stuff up. It's out there. That's
the scarier part, I guess. Beyonce is said to
be one or said to be a very powerful figurehead
in the Illuminati. Over the years, people who
had no public involvement with her have began
to thank her in their acceptance speeches. first
and they will dedicate it to her they'll say
oh this grammy nomination dedicate their whole
thing yeah um like almost like they were required
to like they had to like bend the knee first
thing out of their fucking mouth and it would
be for people oh thank you beyonce i gotta say
thank you to beyonce and all this other bullshit
artists even some white rock artists a ton of
hip -hop and rb artists it's all over the spectrum
just like me and You know, after a while, I think
she kind of got, you know, OK, people are starting
to catch on. So if you're going to say I just
put it towards the end. So she got her acknowledgments,
but it was towards the end after a while. One
interesting fact, people that have spoken in
negative ways about her, Beyonce, have had their
entire careers derailed. Think of Wendy Williams,
former talk show host. in sometimes odd and potentially
questionable ways. Wendy Williams went from being
as coherent as you and I to essentially laid
up in a nursing home after she started talking
about Beyonce's baby bump being fake. I literally
have no idea what you're talking about right
now. Okay, so Wendy Williams, you'll have to
look up who she is because she had a talk show.
She had pointed out that during an interview,
Beyonce... sat down and the camera angle caught
her baby bump looked like it had folded in on
itself. Like it was a rubber, um, overage for
her belly. And she had made the comment, you
know, Hey, when I was pregnant, I never had a
baby bump fold in on itself. Did any of you women
in the audience and you know, everyone, of course
I'm no. And she showed the video and yeah. It
really fucking looked kind of weird. It's kind
of like the Michelle or Michael Obama dong swinging
around on the Ellen show. I'm not touching that
one. Well, apparently neither does Barack. So
don't look at me. I have nothing involved with.
But. So Wendy Williams was talking about this
on her show. And like a couple weeks later, I
don't even think it was a couple weeks, it comes
out that she had been diagnosed with degenerative
brain issues and she's up in a nursing home.
And they show pictures of her and she's all just
like cracked out of her mind, looking all fucking
out of it. And she didn't know her fucking ass
from a wall. Almost like what Britney Spears
went through, huh? Britney's a sad case, dude.
That girl was manipulated all through the years.
I took advantage of her money. Yeah. But a lot
of the Illuminati stuff ties into, you know,
Pizzagate, Epstein, Bohemian Grove, all kinds
of shit where it's just centralized power of
a lot of people who have done some really dirty,
disgusting, shady shit all through Hollywood.
And all through America. Well, I'm trying to
search it up right now. Remember there was a
rapper that a couple of years ago did a music
video. Puff Daddy at the Baby Oil? But that's
another issue there. That was a weird one. The
fucking Baby Oil, bro. Thousands of bottles of
Baby Oil. You know, I genuinely thought that
was all laced with drugs and that was away from
traffic stuff. But no, it apparently came out
that it was literally... just baby with a little
bit of chloroform i don't know how that works
but like yeah maybe you know i guess the dude
just likes to whack it with baby oil yeah maybe
just gets lathered in it because that is that
is the thing i don't you know every day on this
earth people disgust me more and more you know
every day you ever see that that that part of
the matrix Where Smith is talking about how much
he hates being in human flesh. Oh, she's disgusting
and everything. I feel like every day I sit there
thinking, you know, Smith, I get it. I get it.
After looking at people and the things that we
do, I get it. Maybe it's me becoming part of
the AI and part of the Matrix in the future.
I don't know. You know, I have days where I'm
like, you know, Thanos was right. kids seem to
find it but going back to your point there was
a rapper i remember that did a music video that
it looked very like satanic i'm not somebody
that's like against satanism or anything like
that i'm not somebody that's like really concerned
with that kind of stuff but it was like jesus
this is fucking weird and not weird like a cool
way a weird way like this is hedonistic and weird
with kids like what the fuck um well i don't
know about the kids but sam smith that's he did
that uh unholy video yeah which i just i don't
know it just it gave me weird and that was one
where again it was supposedly very much um trying
to think of the words um illuminati bound kind
of thing um now illuminati gets tied into the
satanism aspect a lot of stuff wrongfully You
know, the two are very different groups, so there's
none of that. But all the stuff that the Illuminati
is supposedly involved in, we might want to do
a whole episode on that shit at some point because
between them and the Pizzagate stuff and Epstein,
who did not hang himself, there's just a lot
of stuff that's going on. I still think Clinton's
took him out. I think Hillary paid him a visit.
It's 100%. We know Epstein didn't hang himself.
We know this. We know this. Without a doubt.
Come on. The camera stopped working and all of
a sudden we come back out and oopsie. Bullshit.
Are you kidding me? Far too many coincidences.
There's no such thing as coincidence in this
world. No way. Absolutely no way. No. No. I refuse.
Oh, it would be fun to do like an Illuminati
episode as well as just like other group. I don't
know if you want to call them like a cult, but
like unorthodox groups in the US or something
like that. I've heard a lot of weird stuff in
that range. I just don't really retain it. You've
got like the Freemasons, the Illuminati, and
the other ones. Yeah, but the Freemasons don't
really do anything. They just raise money for
the hospitals. No, that's the Shriners. Oh, okay,
valid. I don't know. They just do local charities,
as far as I know. As far as I've dealt with,
anyway, in my area. Yeah. I know a Freemason.
I can talk to him a little bit. But no, the Illuminati
stuff gets weird. And unfortunately, there's
just no way to corroborate a lot of the stuff.
No, that's the bad part. They're up there with
the Church of Scientology. Well, at least the
Scientology stuff, you can get all the information
on. You kind of know who's running it. Some.
You can get some of the information. Without
joining the church and infiltrating it. Yeah.
Well, there's a lot of people that... You've
got to be rich to get in and get the good stuff.
I know someone that was a Scientologist that
left. that went through that um as well as like
it's it's so stupid man fucking your inner thetans
i will say the south park episode on it makes
me laugh every fucking time oh hell yeah hail
science but no it goes a show like not i'm gonna
insult everybody at once i don't give a fuck
people believe in weird stupid shit oh yeah no
matter who the pasta farians are my favorite
pasta farian is what by the way the flying noodle
monster my co -worker showed me that last week
for the first time nice i never knew that was
a thing and that was oh shit that reminds me
happy zombie jesus day yeah today's easter the
og necromancer yeah yeah he's the og man i don't
know if you saw my facebook posts but uh I posted
the zombie Jesus, the shitty kite, and yeah.
Hey, all I'm saying, he's the OG necromancer.
If that's what really happened, you know, that's
a whole different type of religion. Yeah. But
I don't know. People believe in weird stuff,
and I hate what you just said in the chat. Please
never fucking say that again. Glaze me. I don't
like that. Glaze me. No, no, no, no, no, no.
I hate everything about that. You love it. You
know, I don't think it's something I'm trying
to make that happen. Fuck. Fucking Christ. One
of the blue pills. just volume i don't get it
like bluetooth sponsor us damn it well i don't
need it that category it's just like how do you
get a leader oh no i don't even get a leader
that's the thing i don't understand good lord
i'd be past the fuck out kidding me good lord
and for those listening have no idea what we're
talking about you are very welcome because i'm
not going to explain you do not want to know
This is why you should join the live streams
and the discords and everything. Most often,
yes. But if you join, you'll get the alerts.
You'll know. You'll know. You'll be in the know.
Speaking of in the know, do you want to tell
them what we're trying to work on on the side?
What we're talking about before the pre -show?
That does not narrow it down. I already forget
because I have a fucking meatball. Jesus, dude.
Okay, so I am trying to work on some potential
merch items. I don't know how well they'll be
received. I'm going to go with the patented noodles
and nips because that's a thing. That is the
thing that we say around here. We do have to
work on a couple of logos. Oh, yeah. But I am
going to do a QR. code thing that'll take you
to the YouTube channel. So I have a laser engraver.
So anything that becomes merged will be made
directly by me. And for an extra small fee, I
will mushroom stamp it with my own appendage
before I send it out. Or for an even higher fee,
I will not mushroom stamp it with my own appendage.
If you are the reason the FTC bans our merch
because, and I quote, I own the hoodie. Why does
it have pubic hair? I am going to drive to your
house. And we're going to have a very impolite
discussion. And more importantly, if I get sent
merch on my own podcast, and you did that. Oh,
no, see, for you, I'm going to send you a sample,
and I'm going to just trace out my dong on a
board. And I'm just going to say, guess what
was here, Gibbs? No. I'll send you one of those
short, cushy boards. Yeah, the Sharkoochie boards.
Yeah, Sharkoochie. I hate this timeline. I really
hate this timeline. I know. It's all because
of Harambee. The fucking Hadron Collider, I swear
to God. Right. They're making a new or bigger
one. Did you hear that? Yeah, I know. I can't
wait to switch up reality again. I know. I can't
wait. Maybe the Reptile Overlords will reset
the simulation to 2012. Denzel Washington as
an ex -president or something like that. As long
as it's not Dwayne The Rock Johnson, that's fine.
I'd be like, fuck. Right. Price. Oh, yeah. We
have, oh, oh, oh, what's his name? Oh, fuck.
The one that was the president. All right, all
right, all right. Oh, God. No, but the one that
was the president in Idiocracy. I forgot the
actor's name. Terry Crews. Terry Crews, yeah.
He's one of my list guys. I like a match of Terry
Crews as president. It would be pretty funny.
Oh, yes. President Camacho. Even not just Camacho,
but just Terry Crews himself. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
But good Lord, that would be... Mm -hmm. At least
at the negotiation table, nobody would think
twice about, like, fuck him with him or mess
with him. Oh, yeah, no. He'd just pull up with
his... Yeah, no, I don't think you're getting
the idea here. That's how you know if he's bluffing
or not, is whether his moves are moving. Whether
his pecs are... The pec flicks. Those pecs tell
no lies. Oh, man. Yeah. Anyways. Yeah, so I'll
be working on some of the merch stuff here over
the next couple weeks. We're still working on
a fun episode coming down the chute. That one's
going to be a lot of fun. Noodles, nips, and
socials, I suppose. Yeah, because we do want
to start working on some merch stuff in general.
Besides that, we're just kind of meeting up and
doing some more stuff about future advertising
and marketing and stuff like that and getting
some other things kind of figured out. Definitely
the logistics of doing a... podcast from two
different locations and have it be synced and
all sound good and everything is a bit of a challenge
in terms of like getting the video quality good.
So we're still like, it's good now, but I'm a
little picky. So I want to find a way to make
a couple of changes somehow. I just don't know
how yet without a spending obscene amount of
money and time, you know, cause we all got 10
grand each to drop on that. Right. Right. Yeah,
exactly. I could donate a testicle. I don't need
it anymore. I'm done with them. Are they worth
less as you get older or are they worth the same?
I don't know. I haven't looked into it. Is there
like a peak testicle value? Anyways, sorry. Well,
I think that's a good place to end it on is talking
about testicular value over time. Does it decrease
like gold? Fuck, I could have made a funny joke,
but I don't remember his name. Never mind. Hugh
Hefner? No, what's his name? The bicyclist that
had one. Oh, Lance Armstrong. Damn, I could have
made a great joke. I am a fucking cornucopia
of useless knowledge up here. You know nothing
about bicycling and doing that, but you remember
him. Yeah, well, Lance One Nut Armstrong. The
Uniballer, is he called? The Uniballer, yes.
Oh, man. Oh, Ted Kaczynski, the Unibomber. He
was an interesting man. That'd be a fun episode.
Just on him? I don't know, just weird. I guess
that'd be a weird episode called Weird Terrorists.
I don't know. Oh, maybe some of the more prolific.
serial cases in America or something like that.
Just an odd one. We've only done one true crime
episode. We should do another one. Okay, maybe
we'll flex into that a little bit. Yeah, we can
flex into that. Spit on it and shove it in there
like a bad girl. Jesus Christ. Sorry. Oh, man.
I have no words for what you just did. You should
be ashamed of yourself. Never. I apologize for
nothing. I meant to do that earlier when we talked
about hedonism stuff. Hedonism bot is my favorite
one from Futurama. I apologize for nothing. I
love that show. I think we can wrap this up and
say thanks again for hanging out with us. I have
retroactively added the discord link to all of
the descriptions on all of our shows on all of
our platforms. So there are now no excuses to
not find the discord. So it's there. If you just
hit the little dropdown, like on Spotify and
whatnot, you can find the discord link right
there. So. Join us. Become one. You can get in
on the shenanigans. Join us on Twitch when we
do this stuff because it can get fun. It can
get lively. You can see the noodles and dips
in action. You can also see chat. I'm so sorry
for those that... Sometimes, sometimes, yes.
There are apologetic, worthy things going on
in chat sometimes. Sometimes. Usually. Every
fucking episode. Are you kidding? Dishing out
therapy one episode at a time, okay? Fuck, I
wouldn't need the therapy at the rate we're going.
Jesus Christ. You know a therapist. You're good.
Yeah, but he's expensive. Well, that's what them
hands are for, buddy. Oh, Jesus. Put on the sacks
and just... Anyways, thanks for hanging out with
the guys. We'll, we'll catch you next time and
we'll see what we can get into with a possible
episode on the future of society with kids and
how fucked we might be. That's, that's potentially
on the burner. So thanks again for hanging out
with us and we love you and we'll see you next
time.
