Now we got war Yeah, it's not a great way to
start the pod This Iran and Israel thing it's
odd because I'm gonna be honest I'm not gonna
sit here and pretend I know the deep history
of Iran and Israel There is this weird aspect
going on where I Basically what I just heard
before I started the podcast and this is not
a political podcast. I'm not gonna give any political
takes. I'm just relaying that if We don't tell
Israel to hey relax There's gonna be some strong
retaliatory Consequences and will be responsible
for it. And this is our problem, you know, we
get involved, all of our countries are too involved
with each other where some of that has very little
to do with us, even though, I don't know, it
probably does, but who knows? And somehow now,
think about how crazy it is that these other
countries, they're bombing each other all the
time. And yet, we, I don't wanna jinx it, but
we, Never get bombed by other countries in recent
history Maybe it's a fear maybe because since
We have they know we have a great military and
stuff like that. I don't know It's just odd like
you think we're enemy number one of the world
but also number one ally Why would it someone
if they're making a statement do it? Maybe we
have such good defense, but it seems like they
so the countries have good defense military And
they're still getting bombed, you know, it's
I don't know. It's odd, because to be honest,
the only reason why I even listen to it is to
be informed of whether they go long or short
of Microsoft. That has nothing to do with anything,
you know. It's odd that there are people all
the time, these global wars, when we have our
global wars, our global disasters. We have global
epidemics. There's people making a whole lot
of money off it. And it just goes to show part
of an economy and this system we've created across
the world, anything that involves currency, is
that it is designed for there always being a
way to make money. When things are great, you
can make money. When things are worse... You
can make a lot more money It's always people
profiting off Survive or profiting off places
being at the lowest where we are forced to ask
for help And so yeah, I don't know, you know,
I found that kind of interesting but yeah I don't
even know what episode this is like 344 of the
offbeat podcast of Clint Nelson. I'm your host

.11 p .m. for the archives. You know, it's weird.
What am I start doing? I might start posting
some. Like people they do reuploads or flashback
of like My archive my best episodes I believe
It's weird. I went down a rabbit hole and it
was not on purpose. I was going through some
analytical stuff and Just for the heck of it
once in a while. I'll listen to a random old
-ass episode. I did four years ago It's weird
because in the past it always felt so cringe
right like oh my god what a try -hard Then now
I listen to it, and it's like hmm. I felt like
I heard it completely different last year the
year before that and Yeah, it's kind of cringe.
It's slow. It's methodical. It's you know. It's
a whole different thing You could hear but the
thing I was listening, it's weird to listen to
yourself, but it's weird to hear how much you've
changed. And there's things I miss about myself
and things I'm okay not. That desire and infatuation
of being driven when you find something, like
your purpose type of thing, you can hear it.
And you can't fake that. And the audio, believe
it or not, was better when I used a free audio.
Audacity. The audacity of my audio being audaciously
worse. And it's odd that over time, when I was
listening to the show, I'm like, God, that kid,
that little kiddo. It was almost like listening
to a son of mine that I haven't had yet. It was
like you just see how fun how excited you can
feel the joy you can feel the Rejuvenation of
life in that person Even if they didn't have
a clue what the hell they want to talk about
or anything like that. I'll just listen to it
not like At first I was like, oh my god, what
the fuck am I talking about? And then as I'm
listening, I'm like I'm thinking I'm mentally,
I'm going back in the past and putting myself
in that seat. I'm pretty sure a lot of people
have done it where you literally, vividly remember
where you were. Like if you listen to a video
of yours or you watch a video of yourself, you
recreate that day feeling. And I remember where
I was, what I wore, how I sounded, what shape
I was in, what time at nighttime I did it. Remember
everything that build up to it everything And
I was so proud of myself I even said in the first
episode I'm like, I'm so Got my nose is itching
because it's goddamn industry. I Promise I'm
not crying but I was listening to myself and
I like Wow, it's It's almost like you don't want
to recreate and try to find that again because
you got to be able to recreate a new purpose
and recreate a New joy type of thing anytime
you try to recapture an old version of yourself.
It's Not impossible, but you're actually moving
backwards because you think it's a better version
yourself But really you need to create a better
version of what is you already at that point
in life? There are things about that version
of myself from like I'm like damn I wish I was
That angry all the time. I Went it, you know,
I had this episode. I might I'm gonna repost
this episode 28. I think it was a bicycle I went
on a 45 minute rant about bicycles the original
vision of the show Was just me being awkward
corny puns and going on these audacious rants
about Nothing that's significance, but I'll be
honest I was probably trying to do like a billboard
type of thing not be as funny as him But like
find those things that everyone finds aggravating,
but you just say it and I went on a 45 minute
rant about bicycles and to be honest I was listening
I'm like I still feel like fuck these bicyclists.
I had a take Like, you listen to some of your
old takes. I'm almost proud of them because I'm
like, I wouldn't even think about that anymore.
Like, I'm not as sharp -witted. I'm not as observant.
I'm not as... Like, I have to seek out those
things now, right? To have those takes. Before,
like, all it'd take was like a five -minute situation.
I got 50 minutes of content, bro. Ten exit. 10x
my return on my investment. That's what my old
rants and takes. All I knew was five minutes
of life experience and you got a whole show.
And now, bro, it's like, eh. I mean, I look at
news, I get my opinions about things I see, but
it's not really living life. So the whole point
is, I've been doing this podcast for over four
years now, literally. Four years in a week. I'm
so proud of myself not necessarily because it's
the biggest show in the world or nothing like
that one because I stuck with it even through
trials and tribulations to I Do feel like even
though I was more passionate and even though
I had more Like crazy takes about shit and I
could take an inch and take it a mile You know
and there are parts I wish I still had of that
and I think we all do you know the whole point
of this little sector of the pod right now is
I think we all seek to Have the youth part of
us the You know Middle -aged woman that wants
that fat fake luscious butt again, you know us
guys You know we want that I want to get rid
of that tummy fat so we can see our fat luscious
cock, you know But, you know, it's like, maybe
the goal shouldn't be to see that fat, luscious
cock. It should just be, you know, I just want
to feel good, you know? I should just not want
to carry all that extra weight. And that's the
crazy part. It's weird. I'm talking about my
podcast within a podcast. It's like this whole
simulation we're doing right now, whatever you
want to call it. Don't know you know, I think
uh It's always good once in a while because sometimes
you get so wound up in the next thing. Sometimes
it's okay just Like reset yourself of like remembering
like what hat there are things are like I want
to bring that part of the show back Like I want
to bring that energy that I'm ready. Like when
I turn on that micro, like I am ready to just
go off about something. You know, I used to I
mean, like and some I admit I need to do more
of again, I used to write down my takes on a
piece of paper and not necessarily like play,
but just had these like I would read articles,
get my full observation bullet points. And it
was just like good to have it. I felt prepared
and I did the episode four or five times a week
I can't sustain that now why I couldn't now but
I Did four or five six times a week. I can't
sustain that type of Posting schedule, you know,
but at the same time and like I look at that
and I'm like I Need that back. I need that dog
fucking energy, bro So, I don't know. It's okay,
you know. I think I'm more mature in some ways.
And by the way, yeah, I got a new background.
That's real. That's a desk. It's not a wall with
a moldy scratch on it. That's a real desk. That's
my desk. Desktop. And when I'm on it, top top.
But... It's just beautiful, you know as things
change as time changes The one thing you've got
to be okay with is the fact that You Will never
change Because it's just different versions of
ourself, you know Yeah, I want to keep going
on about myself by the side that was interesting
I wonder if that's what it's like, you know,
here I'm about to compare myself to Kendrick.
I wonder if that's what Kendrick feels when he
listens to Good Kid, Mad City, you know? Like
when he listens to Good Kid, Mad City, he's like,
man, I miss that version of myself. He's like,
nah, I used to collab with Drake. Fuck that.
It's like there's probably versions of Good Kid,
Mad City. You know, people always say like the
first album. the second album that is the first
album especially for most artists especially
if they pop off of it it always is their best
music because that's the music they created before
they had any distractions when it was all about
the purity they didn't have to worry about tour
dates they didn't have to worry about targeting
an audience they didn't have to worry about some
producer telling them to take this out it was
like all them all their problems everything that
made them driven everything that you feel through
that music and As the music gets along they become
bigger they become more successful But over time
a lot of people feel more disconnected from the
music like Kanye with graduation Drake I would
say after nothing was the same I think that's
where Drake started to disconnect a lot from
people take care was like the thing that really
took him to that Mainstream and then nothing
was the same like solidified But he still had
that personal connection and after that that's
when it became I Got private jet planes. I can't
relate to anyone That's when You know like John
Mayer He still makes really good music His first
album though. That is what connected him to people
like him going through that time that Figuring
out stuff part of your life And over time it's
not the person's fault like You're supposed to
grow you're supposed to change as things get
better as things change in life Your opinions
and how you go about it should evolve how you
talk should evolve. So yeah Yeah, see I just
compare myself to Drake Kendrick and John Mayer.
So that tells you the type of ego I have. John
Mayer probably has a higher body count a year
than I do subscribers. So, you know, I take that
for what it's worth. You know. Starting to feel
more relaxed. I don't know when this episode
is going to come out because I have a lot I've
been doing a lot of episodes so I'm trying to
put them out as much as possible but I've been
uh I've been here relaxing a little bit I've
tried not to be as stressful I know the last
episode I did I just like lost my shit and I'm
sorry for that but I got deaths now so it's all
good um oh yeah It's all about just relaxing,
you know. Oh shit. But yeah, you know. That's
the beauty. uh yeah but you know as I go through
this life I'm really uh certain things about
yourself you just got to accept but yeah anyways
moving on to interesting stuff what's interesting
not much to be honest tonight's the finals And
I'll say it here, game four of the finals was
rigged. The fact that, you know, look, I don't
like being the, I've always, and I talked about
like probably a couple weeks ago during the Pacers
and Knicks and the Thunder and the T -Wolves,
is not about refs fixing games. It really is
about, they, Allow certain things at optimal
times for certain teams at the most convenient
times It doesn't mean that they force their will
for one team to win, but they open the door and
they don't officiate favorably or evenly I understand
pro sports is not fair. It's a business But what
bothers me more than anything about this shit
to be honest It's simply the fact that I am just
sick and tired of watching NBA games and They're
just fouls called where if I was a ref I was
just be like I'm not giving you that call you
had no intention of shooting the ball You're
leaning and moving your body Harden Shay Gilgis
shit James Harden in his prime like open the
floodgates to do People don't realize when James
Harden was in his prime in Houston part of his
main game was just Doing what shades doing now,
but just slightly different because they just
have different body types But it doesn't but
I think also in to give Shay credit He hasn't
really been going to the free throw line crazy
in the finals or even the last round of the playoffs
because the NBA knew since it was being highlighted
he hasn't been getting as many calls but and
he still is scoring 30 plus so regardless of
what you feel about Shea Alley you have to say
the dude's a walking bucket the dude is still
dominant even without getting free throws but
just the game and what it's doing like We're
all, after, you know, to be honest, when I'm
starting now to get into hockey, and you're watching
hockey, UFC, and I know combat sports, whatever,
but you're watching hockey, and the shit they
fucking can do in that, the things you have to
do to get in a penalty box for five minutes,
and then in basketball, someone like, gets a
hard screen, and it's a flagrant foul. It's like,
what? It's ridiculous And I've never really but
the playoffs I've really enjoyed watching hockey
it's crazy for me personally, I really just It's
stuff like the end of the game the last two or
three minutes The Pacers lost the game because
they didn't Make buckets when it counted they
were missing free throws out of the ass But When
Shays getting to the free throw line from the
especially the one where he was starting over
at the free throw area went dribbled to the left
baseline and Neesmith and He leaned in Neesmith
did not foul, but he just made the motion. They
just gave him the foul it's like you cannot make
that call if Every time this narrative NBA shit.
We always talk about you cannot give that call
the last three to four minutes of a game regular
season game much less the fucking NBA Finals
you can't do it they wanted to eat like because
I know what the numbers probably show if the
series is down 3 -1 there's probably gonna be
a little less viewership the next game so they
have to make it 2 -2 all right and that is why
Honestly, let me fix some shit here Yeah All
right should be good. Yeah It's stuff like that
in the finals it I love basketball. I love watching
the playoffs. I'm still gonna watch it even after
all that But stuff like that that makes people
have a hard time taking the sport and taking
the profession serious when stuff like that is
allowed and actively just there's no and it just
seems like there's no urgency to like make it
better so ah I am printing a storm rain. All
right. Yeah, you know, it's just like, where
do we go from here? I don't know, you know? You
know, I will say one of the most I'm going to
talk about it because I've been meaning to talk
about this guy for a long time. To me, the best
NBA podcaster, deep diving analyst about teams,
someone who actually does the fucking homework
and is not one of these corny beat writers on
ESPN and actually feels like he has real cache
of understanding the game. Actually watches all
the games actually watches the teams actually
watches the players cares about the drive process
is more into the process of Basketball and just
whatever I don't care what sport it is. You're
covering if you just enjoy love the thing That's
what attracts viewership. I do not and a lot
of these ESPN Fox Analysts Beat writers type
of thing insiders. They're all about the results
They're all it's all these dramatic. Oh the Cavs
neither trade Darius Garland for what? This whole
like it was like a week or two. I'm like when
I watched the Cav series I Did not think Darius
Garland was the fucking problem one. He was hurt
to he still played. Okay when he came back from
being hurt Your problem is you have Max streus
as your one of your main perimeter scores That's
your issue Darius Garland is not your issue.
You have no fucking bench. That's your issue
inconsistent offense overall as a team That's
your issue not fucking Darius Garland, it's so
stupid But Ryan Rosilla is to me the best Because
one like yeah, he's very dry humor type of thing
and They make the jokes on the ringer like hey,
like you watching the VS Wizard Hornets tonight
and he's like, yeah Alex are double -double ready
Weekside deep, you know but it goes to show like
it's a joke like he's watching the Wizards on
a Wednesday night type of thing but that shows
that he's not just focusing on the top six teams
in the fucking league like these lazy ESPN analysts
are these lazy just analysts in general because
all they want to do is talk about the Lakers
every time the Knicks are just competent oh this
is the Knicks year is like yeah it's the Knicks
year until Tyrese Halliburton's coming to your
town That's the thing, the Lakers barely made
the playoffs. And I like LeBron. What the fuck
are they doing in the playoffs? Every year, man,
we just talk about the Lakers. If the Clippers
are okay, we'll talk about the Clippers a little
bit. We talk about the Knicks. We talk about
the same five, six, seven teams. And we don't
talk about... And then when the good then when
the teams that actually grew through the process
that the league promotes the draft and all that
stuff like the Cavaliers Then the second they
are pretty good and they have a bad exit or whatever
A bad second round exit and all of a sudden we
got to blow up the team. It's like no you just
got to get a little bit better Blowing up your
team is not the answer now i'm not saying you
know Trade a four first round picks for Desmond
Bain, but If you're where the magic are here's
some NBA like regardless of you think yeah, that's
a bit steep But in day if you're the magic chances
are those four first round picks are gonna be
like in between the 18 to 30 range You're probably
not gonna get a player as good as Desmond Bain
This is an immediate. We need some shooting We're
almost there to compete at a legitimate level.
Let's get a legitimate player now. Now if you're
Memphis, I honestly don't see their point of
view. Great, you just traded your second competent
guard in the backcourt, and you don't really
have a good frontcourt, and Jaw has injury history,
so... What's really the goal here? So people
say what they want, it's a steep price, but the
Magic are gonna be a better team next year. The
Grizzlies are gonna be worse. So, yeah. But Ryan
Rosillo, to me, is the best. Cuz when he gives
a shit Like some I admire when I listen is probably
like you can tell regardless of what topic person
is interviewing He has his open monologue and
he goes over You know the previous nine to NBA
you can tell he gives a shit more than just the
Clippers the Lakers the Knicks Like it's about
like he can cover the Brooklyn Nets with the
same amount of death as the Orlando Magic. He
can cover the Portland Trailblazers with the
same amount of death as the Phoenix Suns. And
that's really, and it's not just as simple, and
one thing I like about him and not, it's not,
sometimes they're big git. We're just going to
talk about crazy trade options. They need the
trade. It's always we just need to blow up the
team. You blow up the team and then what? You
get a bunch of draft picks, half of them don't
work. And then the ones that do work, someone
asks for a trade, someone gets hurt. People just
think like, I honestly think draft capital is
one of the most overrated assets in the league.
I really do. People like yes But like if you
can get a sure -known good player in their prime
I Don't give a fuck about three draft picks in
2027. It doesn't matter. I know there's bad examples
of it But at a certain point you can't just be
about we're just gonna wait another year and
another two years and wait for a free agent Then
we're gonna draft another role player to come
off the bench and guess what? You still suck.
You're still meh. And then your star player wants
to leave and then guess what? Now you're three
subs back. But great, you got all this draft
capital with a bunch of second -rounders that
no one gives a fuck about. Even the Pacers. Oh,
you know, they had to get Neesmith as a good
role player. They had to trade for Tyrese Halliburton.
The only player on the damn team that's been
there the whole fucking time is Miles Turner.
And they're always talking about trading him.
It is weird how these playoff runs, even if a
player's not dominating, but just because of
the exposure, if they just play relatively well
at key moments, all of a sudden now we overblow
the value like, oh, they're going to have to
pay him this off season. They're going to have
to give him the max. It's like, do they? I like
Miles Turner, but I'm not giving a max contract
to a guy who can't get five rebounds. I'm sorry,
when you're the center. I'm not doing it. Same
with Jaren Jackson. I'm not giving you a max
contract if you can't average six or seven rebounds.
But anyways, back to Ryan Rosillo. To me, I prefer
him over Kendrick Perkins. I prefer him over
anyone on ESPN, except for... Don't know Tim
Legler still works there to me the best NBA analysts
going today is Tim Legler uh Trying to think
who else Tim Legler by far Because what makes
him great is he's he has no problem saying when
a player messed up or when like assessing a situation
and being fair and not just being overtly, dumbly
critical. But he'll be honest about it. And he'll
also expose when someone's getting too much blame
and they're not like, well, look at these dumb
ass sets the coach is putting up. Now he's like
more of the TV ex -player, like legitimate analyst.
To me, he's my favorite analyst. I think if he
wanted to, he should legitimately be like the
number one on the court in the finals and it
was my opinion but whatever and also i gotta
say like this whole criticism of the espn doris
burke and richard jefferson i listen to the game
i don't think they're that bad i think three
person boots are always i personally i don't
really get it Like they've they've experimented
with three -person boosts and NFL games at networks.
It never really works that well For basketball,
it's too fast of a moving game to have three
people Like there's not much time in between
they're really just doing analysis on things
all the time To me it should just be simple Mike
Breen and then one other I think Doris is fine
I've always thought she was pretty good. Now,
you know, is she like the number like should
she be doing the number one games by yourself?
I don't know, but I'm not really professional.
I listen to games and it doesn't bother me. I
think some people is just like they just find
stuff to be upset about. If you really want to
be upset, since I've been watching a lot more
baseball, these local baseball networks. Oh my
god, some of these color analysts are so god
damn biased and annoying as fuck. The absolute
worst is the Texas Rangers, bro. This dude, I
don't know what this dude was on. They were playing
the Wysox and this guy on the Wysox, Hadim Varhas,
he's like the ninth, he was on third base and
he was going back and forth with. a player on
Texas, he's verbally talking, he's like, you
just need to sit your ass, he basically, you
need to just stay in that third base and shut
up, you know? Hit 170 the way you are, I'm like,
god damn, bro. It's like, there's no unbiased.
And bro, he went on for eight minutes, he went
on three different segments, three different
innings about, because Kumar Rocker was pitching,
and I think this analyst is an ex -pitcher. And
he was going off about what they consider a cutter
a splitter Sweet like basically like a cutter
is less than seven miles per hour than a fastball
and then a Sinker is it I'm like all right Doesn't
I mean it doesn't really matter He's like it
just makes no sense like everyone knows the fucking
rule like he's Dave Porter. Everyone knows the
rules You know, it's not I guess when pictures
call whatever they want. It's like well the catcher
is only catching it So it don't really fucking
matter what you think. If it's a cutter, if it's
a 2C, if it's a sinker, who gives an actual fuck?
If it's a knuckle curve, did the person strike
out or not? And like three different it like
the first inning he went off on it like all right,
whatever then again in the next setting it randomly
came up He's like, I guess there's a cutter if
that's what we want to call it these days and
in the fourth inning He it was like another it
was like well, you know back in my day that would
be a sinker But I guess today is so it's probably
a curved knuckle like bro fucking relax Jesus
Christ I mean, like, I understand, you know,
you can't just be free balling, you know, picks
out here, but... I mean... but yeah that's the
thing with these baseball games I was fortunate
enough and I think that's a recent thing basketball
is not as bad but it didn't used to always be
like that because when I watched Braves games
growing up on sports south it would be it would
be chip carry Skip Kerry, your mom's Harry, Jim
Kerry, derriere derri, um, and it would just
be calling the game and then being like, you
know, a final and it would just be calling the
game what it is. Like, yeah, you want the home
team to win. You have a incentive for the home
team to win. But just saying. Oh, well. This
call is wrong. That's obviously a ball. It's
like bro. It literally shows in the frame It's
in the strike zone in the own strike zone that
you guys artificially put up there It's a strike
and in the end and before you're pictured at
the same three pitches And it's like well because
of a stance you can't cut like shut the fuck
up, man Like these guys like they find everything
to just To just was it not cater but Just a fucking
I don't even know what's called. Pander. They're
just pandering. But I will say, you know, watching
the baseball, like I haven't really watched baseball,
but watching it again, it is kind of making me
enjoy it again. It's not something I watch every
night type of thing, but it is good to like kind
of get back into it, enjoy. Just the simplicity.
In also baseball, it's just much faster of a
game now. It is not a Three and a half four hour
game, bro. They get through those innings quick
that pitch thing ain't no joke that They do not
play around with that pitch clock like you were
throwing that ball in 15 seconds or whatever
the pitch timer is It You know the the weird
thing though baseball is still one of those sports
where it's I Still don't understand like is the
one sport where the benches and the dugouts clear
when there's just a slight Like a pitcher in
a first baseman Going at it or runner and then
they like yell each other all of a sudden people
from the outfield dug There's a whole dugout
right there with 20 people in it Why do I need
you ten relievers where half of you would blow
all the saves anyways, coming out there with
your joggers on, and you all just stand around
the field for 20 minutes for no fucking reason?
It makes no sense. And that's the one thing.
It's still kinda like, but then again, I watch
a hockey game, and I'm just like, yes, they're
just beating the shit out of people. I don't
care if they stop the game for 10 minutes just
for these two guys to fight for no fucking reason,
bro. That's a beautiful, people just fight for
it. It can be personal. They literally, the puck
drops open the game, two guys take the glove
off, everyone stops, the refs just skate around,
and they just let them fight until one person
falls to the ground, or until they lose their
traction. And I'm like, sports are great again.
I'm starting to gravitate back to more of the
OG sports. Like the NBA is more of a past 20
years sport that's grown. Football is like the
past one. The main sports for the longest time
were baseball and hockey, believe it or not.
And now football and basketball have kind of
overtaken that. But now it's almost like because
they're not held to this corporate conglomerate
that the NBA and NFL seems they need to succeed
for viewership. It actually seems like you're
watching more of an authentic game with baseball
and hockey There's not a whole lot. I mean, yeah,
there's a lot of shitty umpires and you know,
there's shitty refs in high Well, I don't know
how you're a shitty ref in hockey. You don't
call any damn fouls It's like you can literally
watch a whole quarter. It does not stop Yeah,
there'll be an icing call which is basically
like a bad court violation in hockey Yeah, they'll
be like Stops for if the puck goes out or like,
you know at the goalie stops it then they have
to restart play but like for the most part You're
calling maybe a foul a game maybe two It's like
very minimal like if you could just skate you
could be a hockey ref, bro, if you just skate,
you know But we also give hockey, you know, I'm
doing a whole podcast glazing men, but yeah But
yeah, you know, I think the beauty in sports
now is the ones that aren't so overly Like puppeteered
ones that aren't overly manipulated the ones
are At least they don't give the impression that
they are overly You know officiate Today's drink
Welches Also, I Feel like I do a movie review
every podcast. I watch a lot of movies now I've
been for summer. I I've had I've seen that Jackie
Brown the movie Has been available on this site
that I watch and to be honest It looks like it
looked alright, but I knew it was a Quentin Tarantino.
It was like the only QT film I haven't seen yet
and Well, it's not the only one but and I thought
it would be like Okay, so I didn't have like
urgency and then last time I was like, yeah,
fuck it I was trying to find a movie to watch
it. I gotta say man First impression I think
that's legitimately Quentin Tarantino's best
film I didn't realize like the whole thing from
beginning to end was captivating. It's not a
whole lot of violence It's not like these crazy
is a definition of you are following a storyline
and your Obsession of character and I hate using
that term of character development type of thing,
but in this instance No one does it a whole lot
better than Quentin I gotta say, man, you actually
get involved without even realizing. The next
thing you know, you're actually like, I'm caring
about the Bell Bondsman. I'm like, this dude
wants her. And I'm like, when is he gonna grab
that ass? That's what you're waiting for. And
at the end, it was a nice ending, and it was
kind of like, He was intimidated kind of felt
scared or whatever but Was so utterly impressed
it's legitimately I've watched a lot of pretty
good movies lately, but like from a story You
could tell everything about that films intentional
It's a two and a half hour movie and the thing
is Sometimes people say like movies are too bloated
to two and a half hours and it does seem like
on the surface It's a lot of talking. It's a
lot of people just Talking about shit and stuff
like that. You kind of feel that in the moment.
Sometimes you're like, yeah, this seems kind
of long it's just him smoking a bomb with this
girl that was talking about an Evitable picture
of her or whatever Then you see how that connects
to the next thing you see how it all matters
eventually and it makes you appreciate a Movie
that is that long and every minute is intentional
Even if it seems like it's just dialogue even
if it just seems like it's just whatever like
it has an intentional purpose I Just love like
I was so goddamn impressed by the movie. It was
so good You know, it's weird. Having a whole
space to yourself took the cat, too. Didn't tell
me that. You have a whole space to yourself.
You look around. You're really like, you know,
this ain't that bad. No, but in all seriousness,
it's odd because there's this weird disconnect
connection thing you have with someone where
When you're around people all the time, we all
take each other for granted People live with
each other a long time marriage and not siblings.
We take them for granted and We get annoyed when
we're around each other so much and yet all sudden
And we are not around each other stuff feels
weird it's like someone that complains when you're
all over them all the time and then all sudden
you like take it back and then you haven't held
their hand for three months and they're like,
what happened? It's like, you don't want me to
touch you anymore. It's like, yeah, but I didn't
really mean and you're like, uh, well, don't
touch this, bring it on, bring it on, bring it
on. But yeah, good times. Also notice that we
have a, uh, obsession with recreating tragedy.
There. There's actually a first topic of this
podcast. You know, there's a criticism of Peter
Berg. He's a director. Him and Mark Wahlberg
just basically do every fucking movie together.
And all the connections of most of their movies,
whether that's Deepwater Horizon, Lone Survivor,
Patriot Day, they all have to do with pretty
significant events. that is either a national
tragedy or a tragedy overseas where a whole troop
lost their friends and stuff and only one lone
survivor and there's a criticism online that's
the thing with these reddit things is it kind
of makes it like they he creates this great action
-packed film like you know a film of his when
you see it It's very action pack. It feels real
But there's a criticism that it's like you're
he's someone who capitalizes on recreating Tragedy
and they hide it behind art and telling a story
As I won they've made like seven of the 9 -eleven
movies secondly, I Don't know, you know, it would
be weird like if I went through 9 -eleven myself
or If I was, you know, the one person, the lone
survivor, if I was Patri Day and all that stuff,
the Boston Marathon stuff, like, yeah, it's probably
not something I want to relive and go watch a
movie about. But. You would also be upset if
it was never resembled and appreciated in history
as well. But if they make movies like that where
it's based off specifically an event that Should
the people involved in that event get a? Form
of distribution, I don't know maybe they do Should
you really be able to profit over a certain amount
when you make movies like that if it's not an
original film if it's based off events that happen
I Don't know, you know I don't know if you can
tell, but I'm in a pretty good mood about the
way we're recording this. June 17th, 2025 for
the archives. I made a pretty penny today. I
actually had a good day trading. I actually made
some money. Enough to pay for anything? Not really.
But it feels good. It feels good to be disciplined.
It feels good to actually... Have a day that
works out for you and you stuck to a plan and
it actually did something for you But we're kind
of in a weird Situation politically right now
We're We're getting involved in some stuff that
I don't know if we should be involved in but
we're getting involved because if we don't get
involved it's gonna be We're gonna end up being
involved So basically if we don't voluntarily
involve ourselves, we're gonna have to get involved
because it's gonna get out of hand with this
Bombing with Israel and Iran stuff So I don't
really know what the make of it I don't know
whether we should be worried, I don't know whether
we should be upset. One thing I will take away,
so when I watch a, when I do my trading during
the day, in the background I typically have a
TV show that goes on, where they're literally
live trading and all that stuff. When I am, the
chat sometimes part of a reality of when you're
covering and trading you have to know what's
going on geopolitically what's going on with
any news that could affect the market movie because
it literally can dictate whether you win a lot
of money or lose a lot of money real quick and
of course when these events come up with war
and stuff like that children dying you know people
gonna get passionate about it And there was a
guy, Sharif, you know, he just, I don't remember
the exact opinion, but basically he gave his
opinion that he's not really a big fan of this
war stuff going on. He didn't necessarily say
he was anti -war, he just said, yeah, I don't
know, this is not something we should, this is
not something to be happy about, this isn't really
something we should want to be involved in. And
this is not a good day, even if you're making
money. And then there's people in the chat. Saying
oh You're not educated. You're ignorant about
what's going on and all this stuff you You know
just trade shut up and trade. It's like you cannot
be on a show that's about trading that involves
current events world events and not have a thesis
or opinion about this stuff and ironically What
I've also realized about people is people always
say you don't know what you're talking about
when they talk about stuff and typically those
people they're the ones who don't know what they're
talking about because they just say you don't
know what you're talking about because it irritates
that they're even hearing something that may
oppose their opinion about something and it's
funny because we all have basically the same
access to information And yet, for some reason,
people have the audacity to say, you don't know
what you're talking about. You're not educated.
It's like, we all have the same information.
If people have read and gave their opinion on
something, that's their opinion about it. However
you want to put about war and stuff like that,
war should never be something you want to do.
It's something for defense purposes, you may
have to do it. But even when you have to do it,
it's not something you should be here and be
overly thrilled about it happening. Because the
result is thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds
of thousands of people losing their lives, including
your own people. I'm almost, you know, weirdly,
I was impressed that only eight people died from
all these airstrikes going on. But it's all these
keyboard worries as people that give their opinions,
but it's like he's giving his thoughts about
something that has actively something to do with
what they're doing and people were telling they
don't talk about it like It's like if there's
there's certain things that even if it's not
a Political show sometimes it involves politics
and involves current events that You have to
at least be aware and have a sense of what's
going on As always people in the chats are so
strong -willed about what Should be said what
shouldn't be said and all that stuff. I Don't
know I just found it odd It was kind of because
he went he kind of just why he's like I can take
you out of this chat faster Than you create another
Google account like damn Sharif So yeah. I don't
know, you know, it is what it is. Two seconds
and the thing pops out of place. I really don't
get... I really don't get this obsession with
Tiana Taylor and Mufasa. There's people kind
of going off the rails about some things about
this couple saying when they're sitting together
at an awards event she crossed her legs because
she feels guarded and Typically they do that
when they're not safe with the person they're
with it's like I don't know she was smiling I
look pretty safe to me Who's gonna fuck with
that guy, you know? Yeah, my mind is in the gutter
and I don't mean like you know thinking of dirty
things like my mind is drained oh god you know
it's just for me you know I'm gonna loosen up
here I'm gonna loosen up my buttons baby there's
It feels like we are just very restricted in
what we can do, what we can feel, what we're
allowed to have opinions on. What I mean by restriction
is there's people out here who they have all
this knowledge about stuff. They have these shows,
these political shows where they'll have you
be very impressed with their knowledge of the
way they speak, how they hone in on key points,
even though if they are forgetting 70 % of what
the actual point they're talking about negate.
They have all these key points, they have all
these, you know, added chromosomes when they
speak. And you just listen to some people and
you're like, This guy So footsteps going on Oh
Yeah, you know this podcast this episode is ass
I'm not gonna lie to you You know, I'm just having
a hard time relaxing Like I'm relaxing and I
can't even relax Hey, you ever feel like you're
just You're just like You're just like a message
in a bottle you're just flown out Middle of the
ocean you're just right in the current waves
Can't really drink the water cuz you'll kind
of die You're just laying on your back And I've
never been able to be one to feel like a lay
on my back and just float I don't know because
my balance even this lack of even distribution
in the body Big balls, you know you sink from
the butt in and Just kind of floating around
on your back in the ocean and at any moment Some
just come from under just and you're done But
you just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just
keep swimming. And you're just this floating
message in a bottle. You got this deep message
of what your life should be and how you want
it to be and it's just a simple scripture, but
it's just flowing out there and you haven't been
able to take it out of the bottle yet. Well,
that's what it feels like to be on semen retention.
It's been no nut July, no nut June, no nut Mune.
I'm immune to nuttin'. If I were the nut, bro,
I mean, it's literally one or the other. It's
a blank ceiling or it's a, it's blank. Yeah,
the ceiling's getting blanked or it's just a
blank fillet. Either way, you're feeling blank
inside. Someone get this guy a blanket. Warmly
mammoth. It's funny, all these uh, all these
Manosphere guys can't even open a pickle jar
apparently. They're always, they always talk
about men back in the day, men in the caves and
stuff like that and then They're working out
in air -conditioned gyms wearing gloves doing
pull -ups, you know They talk about men used
to fight it's like they go to boxing rings and
they fight with boxing gloves and they Fight
people who are less better than them to feel
better about themselves. They never actually
challenged themselves become a better fighter
But they know how to fight because they know
the choreograph a fight. By the way, thank you
Alonzo Menafield crazy upset for being Umar's
side You wanna know my prep is for Saturday nights
when UFC does and I'm doing my Match -by -match
prediction. I mean I pick and choose which matches
or whatever is I don't know most of the fighters
in these prelims, but most these fights are boring
as fuck I literally When I see a crazy favorite
odds All I do is like hmm I go on YouTube. I
watch like a Minute of someone's fights and a
minute of their opponent and I make a pretty
nice conclusion This guy's slow. This guy's fast.
This guy doesn't strike this guy can defend strikes
and I've been right But that's my prep Actually,
it's where I'm better at fucking I'm better at
making predictions for sports I don't even know
most of the people in than I am sports that I
know all the people I know their games I know
the game plan but yeah time square It's funny
because Times Square used to be, it used to be
not a tourist destination. That used to be where
the down -low of the down -low would go. They
used to have adult movie theaters. They used
to have the nightlife as they would say. Like
crack was just being crazy over there. Like crack.
Cracks of all kinds. It's crazy how it's just
amazing when a city really wants to Make some
notorious destination. It's funny how quick that
shit turns around which just goes to show the
only reason why Certain places are allowed to
have a lot of activity and stuff until they want
to is until they have incentive Like the real
reason why like people don't realize I mean a
lot of people do But the reason, one of the main
reasons why they moved Turner Field to where
it is now is one, quote unquote, they could get
more people willing to drive in the traffic.
It's a better location for people that are driving
all the way out there anyways. They're probably
gonna, they're probably gonna be willing to drive
here too. It's kind of in the epicenter of a
lot of activity. And they were trying to get
out of questionable areas. That's really what
it was. They wanted in a better location, which
is nothing, I guess, inherently wrong with that.
But, that's the truth. When these governments
in these cities that they forced the taxpayers
to pay that we didn't even agree, it's funny
how they passed tax bills that the tax that the
people will pay for, but we never actually get
to have a vote of whether we want that bill to
pass. It's kind of odd, don't you think? It's
like, sure, we'll put this $10 billion tax deal
for this unnecessary stadium that no one really
asked for. But, you know. The point is like Times
Square and that is when they really want to clean
up a city to make it appearable when they want
a presentable When they know they can make it
a tourist destination They're gonna do it like
they're gonna do it We can do it I haven't seen
Happy Gilmore 2 Just by the previews though.
Yeah, I'm good There is no you know, there's
certain that prime Adam Sandler run of happy
Gilmore Billy Madison Big Daddy there was like
mid -level to Movie theater films that he went
on a run the water boy Where it's just like can't
miss There's this good wholesome hour 45 minute
films people can enjoy Like those things they
just shouldn't touch and yet I guess you throw
someone enough money. He even he's like well
shit I Can I can swing a hockey stick on a golf
course still you know? It's just like it's a
it's an impossible situation Like the goal isn't
even gonna be we're gonna make this as good.
It is just gonna be hey, let's try to farm nostalgia
more than storyline because all stories are the
same now like honestly, I am so tired of Every
TV show involving a dramatic unnecessary in a
series and even in movies now where it's always
someone's mom died eight years ago it's always
my brother committed suicide it's always uh it's
always some unnecessary tragic shit it's like
i don't need an unnecessary tragic shit for you
becoming a motocross legend Like I was watching
mile 22 last night going back to Peter Burke
and Part of these are like this whole like there
was it's so it was so unnecessary the one girl
Who's going back and forth with her now ex -husband
they're going through a Divorce for child custody
and there's this app they have to use For the
protect them they can't swear use unnecessary
words because it's monitored by their lawyers
or whatever And she's like flipping out over
every little thing about oh You need to get this
and all and then it didn't matter at the fucking
end. It didn't matter I'm like why is this included
this movie? Should have been just straight up
what it was This Asian dude who's a triple agent
Focus on that. Not for a second did I give a
fuck that she was a mom or that she was getting
divorced. It was just because I guess they do
these case studies. We gotta have some like sad
shit. It's like this is a movie about CIA operators
running secret missions, getting shot in the
fucking head. Like, I don't, it didn't do anything.
It didn't add anything to the story. And all
these old CW shows like The Flash, Green Arrow,
all these, and by the way, like these are good
shows, but it's always, it gets to that rolling
your eyes shit, when it's always unnecessary
dramatic part about, ugh, my mom, ugh. Well yeah,
we broke up, ugh. It's like, who gives a fuck?
Just be the fucking flash. That's why they didn't
make you the flash everything is so goddamn emotional
As they man they gotta make like all these movies
have some deep underlying issue Why the fuck
did the light turn off Sorry about that Light
turned off. Yeah, everything's got to have a
deep underlying sad issue of what's going on
Some movies and some shows like I get it to an
extent like this TV series alright, like I guess
you've got to have some reason I love interest
and all this stuff, but You got to understand
what their motives are. But the thing is is like
every show it's the same goddamn mode. I feel
like these people they write these series they
write the movies and whatever they don't even
write them in but then whoever looks they're
like hey you know we gotta add someone's mom
dying in this you know we gotta we gotta add
that someone lost their wife four years ago we
we we just have to man this is what the people
want if they're force feeding us sadness like
if i want to watch sadness i'll watch fucking
I don't even know. Just seven pounds. That shit
was sad. Like if I want to be sad, I'll watch
Marley and Me. I don't need to watch. Like when
I'm watching The Flash, when I'm watching, you
know, CSI, I don't give a fuck. It's just, you
know, they overblow this situation. It's like...
Everything is the fucking same and it goes across
even foreign shows. I'll be overhearing My girlfriend
shows, you know, she'd be watching them Japanese
anime. She'd be watching Some like foreign shows
where they're speaking whatever and then they're
actually wolves and shit and even then they gotta
add the When I was eight years old My brother
said I wasn't shit No, we don't have a good relationship.
And all of a sudden they meet their dad four
episodes later, they run into them, trying to
connect with them, and then they realize their
dad's not even their dad, it's a possessed being
that someone's pretending to be their dad, and
then they use some fake emotion to attach, to
disattach the connection, and it's like, what
the fuck? You couldn't use anything else? People
eat that shit up, you know. I can't even lie
to you. I used to like watching the shit. I went
on a marathon binge years ago. On Netflix. One
Tree Hill. I'm not gonna lie, yeah. That's a
pretty sus show for a man to watch. But I'm not
gonna lie. They have a formula that keeps you
coming back. And that's what kept me coming back.
I gave a fuck about Nathan and Lucas. I think
those were their names. Nathan and Lucas, yeah.
Whole thing was supposed to be about then they
become you know they have the same dad They have
the same dad and mom and all this stuff well
They had different moms, but the same dad whatever
it doesn't matter Lucas is more grounded down
the earth Nathan kind of grew up You know in
the rich part with his family with his dad and
stuff And he grew a strange relationship with
dad for pushing him too hard Then he actually
grew closer to Lucas, but then they had a weird
thing for a long time. And then it just is endless.
It's like the whole show, and looking back, I
can't believe I watched nine seasons of just
boys being in their fillings. About a dad that
lived 10 minutes from them. The unnecessary drama
man it gets you every time But we're suckers
for it, you know, I complain about it and yet
I Can say they shouldn't it didn't have to be
so apparent. I think the issue with it when it's
in every show and movie it feels formulaic and
it takes the It takes the Attachment to the creator
of the show that When it starts feeling like
a bunch of other shit that you've watched, it
kind of takes that uniqueness out of it. And
it kind of makes it where, alright, this is just
like eight other things I can watch on this streaming
service. It's the same show, it's just a different
place that it's happening at. Some guy or some
girl with daddy issues, or with, you know, male
or female issues, and then they got... project
on to the world and then they're a badass person
and then they can never commit because they're
scared and then they commit and then someone
hurts them and it's this endless fucking cycle
of rationalizing why they're an irrational person
so you know it's birds and the bees So yeah.
I want to create a show where it's so... It's
like a satire of those shows. You know they do
like those stupid parody movies. They don't really
do them anymore. They went on a run in the mid
-2000s. Like epic movie. Started with scary movie.
Then they tried to do like the epic movie. and
all these other where it's a compliation parodies
of movies within a movie and looking back they
all sucked ass with the exception of scary movie
they all sucked ass not any of them were funny
in the slightest bit like I want to do the same
but I just want to do with the make fun of all
these Cable basic ass same storyline shows. I
feel like they're all just written by the same
showrunners I felt like hey look if They don't
have a divorced dad if they don't have an abusive
father if they don't have a neglectful mother
We can't have it in the show like why does this
show even fucking exist? You know this is CW
crying woman. I Know I keep picking on the CW,
but Jesus man They make like they make good shows
like I the same shows I'm complaining about like
I'll like I'll watch episodes it's the shows
are good and then like 18 minutes in when there's
some crisis of why they can't do some and someone
nudges like Is it because your dad and they just
look down like You know, I just never felt wanted
it's like stop being a bitch and go save someone
It's like maybe that's why I do what I do, because
since he never cared for me, I gotta care for
everyone else. I'm feeling a void. Maybe once
in a while I just wish it was me. And you're
like, oh my god. Just entertain me, god damn
it. Don't know you know I Get it. You know everything
is formulaic whether it's social media scripted
television scripted movies like everything is
formulaic to a point where All you have to do
is like Read the synopsis right and even if it's
like an action movie where it's like oh CIA operative
goes on a mission to save a hostage or whatever.
It's like a very simple synopsis and it's like
a bunch of other movies like it and then some
are better than others and you watch it with
just like you know I want to watch a decent movie
for an hour and a half and then 20 minutes in
you know he's doing whatever but then he has
a flashback of when he lost his daughter in a
You know a car crash because of a drunk driver
and he lives with that regret and him and the
wife and him and the wife have never been the
same they divorced and she found someone happier
then now he has to go on a mission and Then ends
up finding out that it was his daughter was she
was purposely killed by this guy It was sent
because of X Y and Z and blah blah blah She wasn't
the main target, but she just happened to be
in the way and it was an unfortunate series of
events and so Then it's all the same. It all
comes back because someone they cared about got
hurt. Or the movie. The whole fucking motive.
And you know what? It's because us. We gotta
blame us as consumers for this shit because you
know what if you go online with these film critics
It could be a greatly entertaining show. They're
like, you know what? I just had a I just didn't
feel like they had motive who gives a fuck They
kicked a lot of ass I don't give a fuck if the
Avengers in game has motive I Don't watch the
Avengers in game for Iron Man's motive. I don't
give a fuck. I don't give a fuck about Black
Widow's motive. I don't give a fuck. Not every
movie is meant to have some deep intrapersonal
motive. That's where we get it fucked up. It's
cool if it's well put together and all that's
intertwined well but it's not necessary. Good
we got these film like you could put up a great
two -hour action -packed film No filler and some
be like, you know, I just felt like they could
have gone deeper into this aspect of the story
kind of took away the Edge of the movie and you're
like You know what? It didn't take away the edge
for everyone else I was fine. They didn't have
a lot of interest cuz you know why it would have
interfered and contributed nothing I have own
popular opinion I haven't seen Deadpool in a
while, but his love interest in the first one,
not even necessary. There, I said it. Now granted,
I'm pretty sure it was a big part, it's been
a while since, but looking back, it didn't really
feel like the love interest was all that necessary.
Just there to be there. And that's the reality.
For a lot of this stuff, Artificial love interests
we got And because now I do believe this is just
my opinion I think they make shows and movies
more to be scared of Criticism by making flat
Non -controversial make it not even controversy
is making non interesting making uninteresting
making Lack of, it lacks compelling attributes.
There's no edge, it's predictable. I think that's
really where filmmaking has gone. Where really,
I think the reason why the mid -film budget that
people always talk about is not there, it's because
they want predictability, because they want to
know what sells, which I get it. You know, we
could complain about, we could say here, and
complain about studios don't have they don't
let artists be artists they don't let directors
just do whatever they want because you know what
sometimes some of these directors they will just
waste your time for three and a half hours with
bullshit they absolutely will and yeah sometimes
studios will interfere and make a something that
would have been two hours and 15 minutes then
make them cut it down to an hour 40 minutes and
it's missing a lot of good interesting shit It
works both ways, right? Um, but What they don't
do But at the same time like yeah, they do got
they got to put out what They think will sell
movies cost money. It's crazy. Oh, I think it
was like For one of those Marvel movies for someone
did the math for like literally every minute
of film cost eight million dollars from grab
from cgi to act everything involved it cost eight
million dollars per minute of screen time so
you're damn right i don't care how much money
warner bros makes in a year if i'm gonna buy
it and especially if it's one of our main movies
like i don't give eight million dollars to 90
the movies we budget So yeah, if I'm cutting
your hours from three and a half to two hours
and 45 You damn right you're gonna fucking I
don't care about your artistry vision if you
can't get it done in two hours and 45 minutes
You have a shitty vision So yeah, there's two
sides of the story I can understand and Then
there's ones that will Just only they will just
make what studios love predictable nonsense That's
a lot of these Netflix movies like a lot of these
Forgettable Kevin Hart Dwayne the Rock Johnson
movies They're forgettable nonsense Like the
Rock hasn't his to me his most interesting movies
were actually when he probably wasn't as good
of an actor when he was like first like still
kind of a part of wrestling for real and Did
like walking tall and shit? Doing those type
of movies because he was like an action star
nowadays Who's doing like a bunch of forgettable?
Netflix movies that you can't name half of them,
but you'll watch them and then you're like, oh
that was cool and you'll literally forget the
name Like Gerard Butler man, I've been talking
about movies a lot recently. I guess cuz it's
based on my life. Gerard Butler actually He's
kind of in that phase. He went from like He's
one of the most interesting actors of the past
20 plus years The man is the Devon like you would
look at him hear how he sounds and think that
He sound like his voice from jump if you didn't
know anything he's been in you probably think
he's like a one -dimensional type of guy that
dude has been in Rom -coms that dude has been
in action -packed films. He's been Leaking Leonidas.
He's been the Phantom of the fucking Opera. Hey,
there doesn't get more diverse than that I like
you gotta be honest like and Now he's kind of
in that phase of like I've done everything I'm
only gonna really just do films that I produce
He's kind of in that phase which matters and
they're not like, you know blockbusters, but
they're just good decent movies it's a lot of
movies you'll find on to be it's a lot of White
House not White House down but Olympus has fallen
and angels have fallen like that whole like franchise
small little franchise they got going and he's
kind of in that he does a lot of like Den of
Thieves just a lot of like The action films that
the films that we say don't exist Gerard Beller's
doing them They're not crazy budget. They're
not like these deep philosophical movies. I watch
a movie called Kind hard, I think Basically,
he's like a undercover CIA in Iraq blows up some
shit because it's like a plant or whatever like
a secret plant they think had going blows it
up, then they find him and then It's like it's
just a good decent Fun movie none serious. It
is like two hours long and it does have a little
of that, you know look Does have the he's getting
divorced. He's got to get back to America because
his daughter's graduating and Him and a wife
are finalizing divorce So it was like the second
that happened. I just say yeah, here we go But
once you get past that it doesn't interfere with
the movie just don't have an interfere with the
movie I understand you got out of the five or
ten minutes to explain what's going on of his
life fine But you can get past that and then
it's just Him him shooting Chappie's Chappie's
is helicopters. I'm not making a slur there.
Okay shooting the chap Because sometimes we forget
films are supposed to be Entertainment Sure like
there are certain stories that require like a
legitimate backs like a legitimate like if you
if you go into a movie like um moonlight like
that's the type of movie that you're going to
get in some deep shit about so like there's a
time and place you mentally have to be ready
to watch that type of movie then that you can't
be like that you're entering the world where
a lot of emotions a lot of like you're going
into real shit it's not here to You know watch
Adam Sandler You know play Put put put you know
Put the ball in the hole. It's not that type
of thing Go to your home Like there's a whole
different space of mind like it's not grown ups
the movie. It's you're watching It's been a while
since I've seen the movie, but it's a pretty
heavy movie If you're going to watch You know,
I haven't seen movie but Benjamin Button that
seems like a pretty serious movie If you're watching,
you know Ten years this was it Ten years of slave
or whatever like yeah, you it's a pretty significant
movie like you're watching movies where as a
deep Serious context so you can't be mad when
it gets in a real shit, right? But if I'm watching,
you know If I'm watching what happens in Vegas
with Ashton Kutcher, I don't really want to sit
here and hear a back and forth between him and
a girl at the casino talking about, you know,
I just never thought life would go like this.
You know, it's just like, just do some shit.
No one watches Dude Where's My Car. for thinking
you're gonna get some deep underlying the newsroom
Greg Daniels type of or Jeff Daniels type of
monologue like you're watching dude where's my
car with a guy from American Pie and that 70s
shows what the fuck do you think you're getting
but yeah you know what all in all we only have
ourselves a blame because we live in a hypercritical
nature where every enjoyable film that comes
out with every just fun shit that comes out we
gotta make it unfun we gotta find the loopholes
we gotta talk about plot holes and shit like
that and people go on reddit and just fuck movies
that don't and just make you think bad about
movies that aren't even that bad. And then they'll
tell you movies that are good that you watch
and you're like, this shit sucks. As in we have
these narratives where it's like there's certain
type of movies where because of the subject matter,
we always got to make them Oscar Emmy like. As
much as I appreciate the Christian bells of the
world as much as I appreciate actors that Put
on a lot of weight or get jacked for a role have
these crazy body transformations Sometimes we
equate body transformations and it becomes a
focal point of the movie and it becomes actually
a driving so because anything drastic change
to humans is just shocking and It's remarkable
because most people don't have the capabilities
to have that type of drastic transformation.
Christian Bale did it for the mechanic. I watched
the mechanic. A lot of people said the movie
sucked. I didn't think it sucked, but it wasn't
also really that great. It's not something I
would have gone down to 135 pounds and what he
did to get ready for the movie for that. Absolutely
fucking not. But he's committed to the crap.
And then He got jacked for Batman. And then over
time, he lost all that weight again to be a trainer
for, to be Mickey's brother for the fighter.
And then he gained all the weight back to be
Dick Cheney. And so, as Avon Bull's all that
stuff is, that, just the body transformation,
which is... First of all, it's insane that Christian
Bell is never I don't think he's ever won an
Oscar or an Emmy any of that stuff Which is insane
within itself But Sometimes it becomes such a
focal point of everything of all we just think
dedication equals awards We think anyone playing
something absurd completely different from themselves
is automatically good acting or playing a certain
type of character even when you are that in real
life because it's an impactful emotional character
makes it good a certain subject matters like
it's kind of hard to fuck it up you know It's
hard to fuck a movie up that's about for example
It's hard to fuck a movie up in terms of people
will despise it if it's about race and I mean
that in a way that If you're making a movie about
racism Like people are already emotionally sensitive
and connected to it for a lot of different reasons
no matter what ages you are So people by default
always gonna kind of give it the benefit of doubt,
even if the storyline sucks, even if the acting
isn't good, but because the impact of the story
is great. You can't sit here and say, I can't
even think of a movie out of the top of my head,
but let's say, Remember the Titans, which was
a good movie. But even if that movie was trash.
Even if the acting was trash. Even if it wasn't
Denzel and they put some other guy in there that
fucked up the movie. That movie still would have
been held in high regard just because of the
story. Just because of what it represents. The
unity it brought. It's kind of like a Christian
movie. You know like those Christian movies they
make these days where the football is always
terrible in the movie But it's always about finding
God and finding peace and all that stuff And
finding your purpose overcoming obstacles It's
really like a Christian film With a little racism,
you know That's the Bible Belt. All right Get
over here boy And that movie shows one thing
about sports. I was saying the test of time.
Hey, they may be racist. But when it comes to
winning, they'll put the racism aside for a little
bit. You know? Some things never change. So yeah.
I watched Otani last night. Pitch. Last night,
he pitched for the first time in like basically
two years. You know, we always hear that he's
a, he can pitch, he can hit. And always, you
know, typically when people do both, they're
typically, they're exceptional at one and then
they're pretty okay at the other. It's just impressive
that they can do both at that level. I didn't
realize how actually good of a pitcher. Now he
didn't necessarily pitch great last night. He
didn't necessarily pitch bad. I mean, he had
him pitching over two years in live action. So
he's a little erratic, but he's still, I'm like,
damn, that's some movement on them sliders, bro.
Whatever the fuck he was, I don't even know what
fucking pitches he was throwing. But he was throwing
hard and that shit was moving. I looked at his
stats, I'm like, shit, he actually has legitimately
good stats as a pitcher. And then during the
broadcast, This is why when you pay a guy five
seven hundred million wherever they're paying
him It's funny they kind of snuck it in you ran
between the lines. They're better say yeah Tony
said, you know, he wanted to start pitching again
and The Dodgers are like, yeah, you know, and
then he's like, yeah, you know, I think I'm gonna
pitch tomorrow night like Yeah, I guess you're
pitching tomorrow night It wasn't really much
I think they tried to contend like, yeah, you
know, maybe ways like Nah, I wanna pitch to the
Padres in the right. The Padres, you sure? You
know? He's like, yeah, I wanna pitch to Tatis,
Luis Arias, and Manny Machado. He's like, oh,
okay. But it's weird, he identifies more as a
pitcher than a hitter, which just puts the rest
of y 'all at the shame who hit in the MLB. It's
weird like you're watching them pitch and you're
like, I don't know he's pretty damn good Honestly
do think over time like people talk about playing
two ways in sports like Travis Hunter Honestly
don't see him playing both ways in the NFL it's
not because he's not capable It's not even because
Like I'm not even gonna sit and say like when
these oh You can only dedicate so much time and
all that stuff like yeah, I mean obviously I
Just think what's gonna happen is Defense are
off. I think eventually he's gonna just basically
be mostly a wide receiver But I think what's
eventually gonna happen is He's gonna get burned
a few times in deep on defense They're gonna
attack them because they're gonna try to prove
a point. He's a rookie. He's gonna be a rookie
corner They're gonna try to attack them If he
allows a few too many catches or too many deep
passes, he's getting burnt or whatever Then you
know that exposure May be more damaging to him
and people's perception that now they're gonna
go. Oh, well, you're burning him on both you're
burning both ends of the candle then it's gonna
get in there like you know hey we're just gonna
have you 80 % here come in situation then it
starts there and then over time it's gonna be
like yeah no you know but the whole appeal of
him is playing both ways and Otani it's the same
thing but i really just think over time honestly
if they were up to the Dodgers i don't think
they would have him pitch at all I there's something
about I feel like Like even looking at the coach
like it feels like they don't really want him
to pitch Because they don't want that risk of
injury, but at the same time you're paying 700
million even today's market like, you know, Jesus
like I'm not paying him just to go to the plate
three times a game, you know at the same time,
but he's a draw And I think the only reason why
they have him pitch here and there is probably
to keep him happy. And two, because of the extra
attention. MLB is like, nah, you're gonna let
him pitch. And they're like, yeah, but it's not
good for his shoulder. Or like, yeah. But have
you seen the spike ratings in Japan and when
he's on TV? It is real. He is one of those legitimate
draws. He's one of those that people will legally
stream no matter, like people don't care about
like It's hard for people to go watch a game
outside of their regional If there's not a real
draw like people like yeah people will watch
the Yankees people legitimately Just watch Shohei
avid baseball people Is that type of draw But
my projection I do think probably They'll let
him pitch but if he has like another type of
Injury of any type from pitching I think they're
gonna hang it up Because it's really not like
it's really is it really worth Because if he
just wanted to continue pitching he would he
would be just on a bad team Where they will let
him do that. You know, the daughter's like, you
know, we got plenty of talent, you know We honestly
don't even need you hitting. I mean obviously
they do but you know, they guys They're just
stacked, bro And think about Shohei is You can't
even dislike him like there's some stars you
could dislike them that come off as arrogant
like Raphael Davis who just got traded to the
Giants I believe Hey, there was an issue with
him like they want to play first base. He's like
nah and To be fair or it was like first third
base He's a DH. They wanted to play the help
the team out because they had injuries. He's
like no all offseason I Wanted to play and you
said no So I was like fine I'll sell into being
the DH and then hey, you know, you should be
a team player. We're paying you is like Nah,
I'm a DH, remember? And they traded him. So,
people like that, when that whole thing, there
was people that were, oh, you get paid all this
money, he's not a team player, not doing his
best for the team, and the show aides out here,
DH, pitcher, whatever the fuck, you know? Baseball's
in this unique position where I think for the
first time in a long time, they're best players.
I would say they're two face of the league hitters,
especially. Right just face of the league. You
got Aaron Judge playing. You got Aaron Judge
and Shohei playing in the two biggest markets
in America. Aaron Judge is raking at an all -time
level Shohei You know his average isn't you know
Aaron judges But he's lead off and he has 24
fucking 25 home runs and he had a slump this
year But it's just every time he's that bad bro,
it's it's an event Your two faces of the league
and the two biggest markets two dudes that are
big as hell two dudes that draw on national television
and two dudes that are likeable Aaron Judge is
a leader a captain and all that stuff for the
biggest franchise and Shohei although he's not
vocal and all that stuff just his presence is
a different animal so your two faces the league
in their prime are legitimately you could not
ask for it any better way. And baseball, I don't
know what they gotta do, but they gotta capitalize
on this. You need to have the Yankees and Dodgers
playing each other 80 games a year. Fuck the
divisions. Fuck the schedule. Even if it's just
two months straight, the Yankees versus the Dodgers.
From April or you know well you know first three
months you know give them a break from July to
September Yankees vs Dodgers everyone else you
could play each other and fight for whatever
and then i don't care what the records are you
two are going in the playoffs and uh you're playing
each other in the world series that's how it's
gonna work so yeah Oh god, I think I went an
episode there. So yeah, I don't know what episode
this is. I'll probably merge it on in the one
because I got a lot of episodes loaded up. So
yeah. Don't forget this sucks some titties. Yeah,
meep meep.
