Speaker: 0
02:43

Speaker: 1
02:53

But that’s what he wants. That’s what Ari wants. Mission accomplished.

Speaker: 0
02:57

Oh my god.

Speaker: 1
02:57

Yeah. He’s like, you know, he’s he’s the real deal. He’s really fucking throws it all into the fire. He runs right into the wood chipper. Let’s see.

Speaker: 0
03:05

Yes. Yeah. He, But

Speaker: 1
03:09

I like it like he thinks he’s thinking about, like, creatively, you hit, like, dips, and you don’t know what to talk about anymore. And ai, you need to go on a walkabout.

Speaker: 0
03:20

Yeah. I think I see him, and I I admire it greatly because it’s so opposite of how I’m wired. But

Speaker: 1
03:27

Yeah. It’s not me either. I don’t dig it. But he goes, like, months at a time with nothing but, like, a burner phone. Yeah. No text meh. No emails. No nothing.

Speaker: 0
03:57

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
03:58

He genuinely he’s smart. You know? He’s he’s ai, I gotta throw my brain into a totally different environment every now and again and see what’s really going on.

Speaker: 0
04:08

I think he likes the challenge that life can be. Like, I think he likes the idea of he’s one of those guys where if he says that scares the shit out of me, he’s first in line to do it. Like, it’s it’s all about, like, if you don’t face it, what’s the point? You know? Right. So I think he creates these incredible it’s so funny.

Speaker: 0
04:31

You know, when you discuss what he’s about to do with certain people, some people go, that’s insane. What? And other people go, oh ai god. I admire it so good. You know what I mean?

Speaker: 0
04:40

Like

Speaker: 1
04:41

It’s sort of like the guy that killed the UnitedHealthcare Meh. Depending upon your perspective, it was either so fucking awesome or, oh ai god, they’re gonna start killing CEOs. Luigi Shafir. And he’s so handsome.

Speaker: 0
04:58

Yes. He is.

Speaker: 1
04:59

The thing about Luigi though is Luigi picked the right person to kill. Not not, like, meaning that guy. I mean, health care executive. You’re gonna get the least amount of sympathy.

Speaker: 0
05:10

Oh, yeah. You

Speaker: 1
05:11

know what I mean? Not that individual one. Look, you shouldn’t kill anybody.

Speaker: 0
05:13

Sai Ai

Speaker: 1
05:14

can’t believe I have to say this, but, yeah, don’t go shooting people.

Speaker: 0
05:16

I agree.

Speaker: 1
05:17

But also, like, when you realize how you know, Ben Askren, I don’t know who his health care provider was. But Ben Askren, he developed some kind of crazy pneumonia and then it became necrotic. So it, like, ate holes in his lungs. Okay. He’s 40 years old. So former UFC fighter, former Bellator champion, elite athlete, fantastic wrestler. Had to get a double lung surgery, double lung replacement surgery at 40. And insurance didn’t wanna cover it.

Speaker: 0
05:46

It’s insane. It’s insane.

Speaker: 1
05:48

What are you talking about? He’s going to die. Like, he doesn’t have lungs anymore. He was on a fucking a ventilator for months. He didn’t have lungs anymore.

Speaker: 0
05:56

I can’t even fathom. I just had I just had a bunch of water damage. My dishwasher leaked while I was away, and I had a bunch of water damage in my condo that I had to meh, obviously, fixed. There’s rotted wood and caught its mold and all this stuff. And ram my insurance company gave me sort of what I needed to cover it.

Speaker: 0
06:19

You know what I mean?

Speaker: 1
06:20

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
06:21

And I was furious. I can’t fucking imagine if you’re in a situation like that with your health or if it’s your home, ai, with the people with the fires

Speaker: 1
06:29

Oh, yeah.

Speaker: 0
06:30

I can’t even imagine the fucking rage. Like, it’s it’s it’s undefinable, and they wouldn’t cover. So so that’s Such

Speaker: 1
06:40

a weird game they’re playing. Their businesses pay you as little as possible to give them money every month. Sai that maybe, if something happens, they’ll pay for it. Maybe. But maybe not.

Speaker: 0
06:53

I have a friend.

Speaker: 1
06:54

Maybe not. Maybe maybe not. Maybe you need a double lung transplant. They’re like, ai. We’re not gonna cover that. That’s too much money. Yeah. Yeah. Come come to court Yeah.

Speaker: 0
07:01

Or figure it out. Insurance has become buying the protection plan at Best Ai, you know, where it’s

Speaker: 1
07:07

But, no. Best Buy’s protection plan is way better. It’s way better. If you ai, like, a new Samsung Galaxy phone, you buy the protection plan at Best Ai, and then it fucks up on you. You bring they give you a fucking brand new one. Alright. They just have you fill out a little paperwork. You show your receipt. They shake your hand. Thank you.

Speaker: 1
07:24

You say thank you to them, and you leave. It’s fucking great. The insurance gamble is the craziest gamble ever. I’m gonna pay you every month, and hopefully, you’ll be kind enough to cover my insurance if something goes wrong.

Speaker: 0
07:38

It is fucking wild. Dude, I have a friend who’s a lawyer who has to often rep insurance companies in case

Speaker: 1
07:45

Oh my god.

Speaker: 0
07:45

And I said to him I said, dude, with all due respect, I’m not coming at you. I go, how do you how do you sleep at night? You know? It’s a tough position to be in. And he said he goes, here’s how I justify it. If I get the insurance company off or I save them some money, that does trickle down to the users with their premiums making insurance continually as affordable as possible.

Speaker: 0
08:06

He goes, the second I lose for my client, they turn around and fuck everybody even more. Sai he’s like, that’s the one little silver lining with it, like, I guess. You know? But that’s a very sad

Speaker: 1
08:19

That’s that’s a weird silver lining. Yeah. That sounds like someone trying to cope. Doesn’t it? It

Speaker: 0
08:25

does. It totally

Speaker: 1
08:25

sounds like Ai have to kill some people. There’s an overpopulation problem, Joe DeRosa. So we’re gonna have to go around and kill people. That’s what that sounds like to me. It’s like it’s like what? It’ll make it better for everybody else. There’ll be less resources being depleted by the people we kill.

Speaker: 0
08:39

Like, what? Do you think that there’s this is more job injury stuff.

Speaker: 1
08:44

Ai know it’s so ai. It’s so gaslighty. If we fuck these people over,

Speaker: 0
08:48

it’ll be better for everybody else.

Speaker: 1
08:50

Because then they they you could feed the demons. The demons will be appeased.

Speaker: 0
08:53

God. You know what? I didn’t ever thought of it that way. And I had a feeling as I was saying it, you were gonna flip it into a thing that was gonna leave me disturbed, and it has.

Speaker: 1
09:01

If there’s anything demonic like, like, people don’t wanna think about demonic. Like, they don’t wanna think, like, oh, there’s like a devil with a pitchfork and a fucking tail with a pointy end to it. Yeah. Yeah. But, like, what is demonic behavior? Like, if you know that someone’s going to die, but you can deny them coverage because you just can make some sort of a subjective decision whether or not this person should get coverage, and then you know they’re gonna die Mhmm.

Speaker: 1
09:27

And they’ve been paying for insurance for years.

Speaker: 0
09:30

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
09:30

How do you do that? That’s ai that’s like a pact with it. Like, you could just sign here and then they’re covered. And then they get this operation. You do everything you can to help them. And then everybody loves your company. Or you could say, I just want the money now.

Speaker: 0
09:44

It’s

Speaker: 1
09:45

dark. It’s dark. It’s dark. It’s just there’s no pitchforks. There’s no brimstone. So you don’t think, you know, you don’t think it’s demonic.

Speaker: 0
09:53

The thing that leaves me without hope, and I am not a very hope filled individual, but the thing that leaves me without with with even less hope every day is I feel like the culture and people in all positions. You know? Uh-huh. The the yours is is is we’re we’re talking a very macro example of of the thing.

Speaker: 0
10:11

I find that more and more people every day put themselves they position themselves in a way where they say, I will not be accountable, and I will force you to be the one that has accountability to hold me to something. And until you hold me to something where I cannot squirm or pivot in any way, at that point, I will then be accountable.

Speaker: 0
10:32

And I feel that more and more people operate like shah, obviously, on a corporate level, but also an individualistic level. It makes me very, very sad. It’s like having so many people that you encounter in your ai, sometimes it’s friends. And you’re sitting there going, really? Ai I have to be the adult? Mhmm.

Speaker: 0
10:51

I have to sit you down as a 48 year old man and say to you, what you’re acting like right now is fucked up. Yeah. Why do I have to do that with you? Because you’re not gonna do it, so I guess I have to.

Speaker: 1
11:03

Right.

Speaker: 0
11:03

And the more that you try to hold yourself to accountability, I and I’m not patting myself on the back in any way, but I find that burden grows and grows and grows, and you just start to get to this place where you’re like, what the fuck is going on? It’s like an epidemic of ethics at a certain point.

Speaker: 1
11:20

Especially if you are if if you get indoctrinated into a real cutthroat corporate ai.

Speaker: 2
11:26

Mhmm.

Speaker: 1
11:27

You know, those guys can justify a lot of stuff because that’s in the culture. Like, our culture is talking shit to each other. Like, the way we talk shit to each other, ai, there’s a lot of people in a lot of other jobs that would have a giant problem with what you and I think is awesome.

Speaker: 1
11:41

Yeah. Like, if you cracked on me and it was fucking awesome and we’re all howling, like, I could get you in real trouble if we were accountants. Yeah. You know? Yeah. If we’re accountants, that’d be a giant problem. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
11:51

So we’re used to fucking with each other and we’re used to laughing about stuff and we’re used saying ridiculous shit that we don’t really mean just for fun. And most people aren’t. So this is our culture. This would speak, like, if you got normies and you brought them into the green room of the mother mothership, we’re all just hanging out one night just talking and having fun.

Speaker: 1
12:09

Probably freak them out that people talk like this. Like, Jesus Christ, you guys are at work and you talk like this? This is crazy.

Speaker: 0
12:15

It’s why comics get I’ve seen people get very offended who aren’t comics that get brought into a green ram

Speaker: 1
12:20

Right.

Speaker: 0
12:20

And the comics are kind of ignoring them or making it very clear we don’t want you in here.

Speaker: 1
12:24

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
12:24

And people think that that’s the comics thinking who the fuck they are. It’s not. It’s like, guys, we have a thing we do. You’re not part of it. You’re not gonna understand it. And I’ve seen more than once somebody get offended by something we’re saying who shouldn’t have been in here in the first place.

Speaker: 1
12:39

Someone’s boyfriend or girlfriend.

Speaker: 0
12:40

Yes.

Speaker: 1
12:41

Yeah. Almost ai. Yeah. I’m trying to be nice.

Speaker: 0
12:44

Yeah. It’s someone’s girlfriend.

Speaker: 1
12:46

Happened once with a guy.

Speaker: 0
12:48

But you gotta count it. You

Speaker: 1
12:50

gotta count it.

Speaker: 0
12:51

Yeah. Once in 1968, a man got offended at a green room.

Speaker: 1
12:54

There’s some guys that are just notoriously make bad decisions, and then they bring their bad decisions around for everybody else to revel in.

Speaker: 0
13:02

God, oh

Speaker: 1
13:03

my ai.

Speaker: 0
13:04

I mean, is there anything worse?

Speaker: 1
13:06

Ai. But this is just our culture. That’s the most minor of things to worry about. Someone fucking up the the vibe of the green room with dopey talk, which is ai, which is fine. But it’s so much better than in that cup cutthroat. Sai, like, it literally rewards sociopathic behavior. Like, to to be a person who thinks entirely on the bottom line of the company.

Speaker: 1
13:29

This is my job as a blah blah blah.

Speaker: 0
13:31

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
13:31

You know, my job is to make sure that we make more money every fucking quarter period, end of discussion. And then you get in that mindset, and that’s what you’re trying to do. And everybody else is trying to do that too, so they’re all fucking each other over. And then what’s the ultimate form of that? Politics.

Speaker: 0
13:44

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
13:45

Yeah. The ultimate form of that. The ultimate form of fucking everybody over and making the biggest exaggerations and lying the most about people and and using the most leverage. It’s wild to watch, man.

Speaker: 0
13:59

And what what you’re describing is it’s, you know, it’s it’s quintessential Rod Serling shit.

Speaker: 1
14:05

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
14:05

It’s when people’s it’s comes down to ai. Because eventually that that to me is what the technique is and how you get it to keep working in your favor if you’re the asshole at the top of the food chain. Right? You you say ai I make people desperate enough, they will do desperate things to keep the situation that they feel now privileged to have or or lucky to have.

Speaker: 1
14:26

Right.

Speaker: 0
14:26

And you get people

Speaker: 1
14:28

you do

Speaker: 0
14:28

you ever sai that Ai Zone where where the guy has the bunker?

Speaker: 1
14:31

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
14:32

And he tells the neighbors, I’ll keep telling you, build a nuclear bunker. You’re gonna need it. They’re all making fun of him. And then the thing comes over the radio as they’re talking at dinner. There are nuclear missiles on the way, whatever. And he goes to his bunker, and they’re all at his door, like, let us in. He goes, I told you guys you should have made a bunker.

Speaker: 0
14:48

There’s only enough room in here for me and my family. And they kick his door in, and they turn on each other, and they start getting racial with each other.

Speaker: 1
14:55

Oh.

Speaker: 0
14:56

Right? And then at the end, it was a false alarm.

Speaker: 1
14:59

Oh god. And now everybody’s revealed.

Speaker: 0
15:02

Everybody’s sitting there like, yeah. And they’re like, well, sorry about that. He’s like, no. There’s no turning back from this. You know?

Speaker: 1
15:07

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
15:08

But that’s what it is. It’s people get so desperate. It’s survival. And as as long as they feel that fear, that threat that my weekly paycheck might be cut off for me and that starts the chain of dominoes to my children starving or whatever it is. Yep. People do some really foul fucking shit, man. Oh, yeah. You know? Some really foul fucking shit. You know? I feel very lucky that we’re in several different ways.

Speaker: 0
15:35

You know, we’re all operating sort of at different levels of this crazy industry we’re in. But all of us in this circle that we now all exist in in comedy, it’s like we all get to we all get to be independently employed, independently sufficient. And I think that allows you to potentially live a better life. You know?

Speaker: 1
15:57

It’s just a better way of life for sure, well, at least for us. But the thing is some people, they genuinely like coding.

Speaker: 0
16:05

You know what I mean? Right.

Speaker: 1
16:06

So it’s ai, unless you can get a job off-site where they let you they don’t even do let you do that anymore. Now, they’re making people go back to work, which is so interesting. Yeah. Because there was a few people that fucked it up for everybody else probably. It was like a bunch of lazy people who fucked off and didn’t really do their work and kinda, like, half assed everything because they’re at home in their fucking pajamas, and they didn’t wanna go back to work.

Speaker: 0
16:26

Yeah. Yeah. There are guys out there that are like, I love being a janitor. What do you want me to do? I gotta go I gotta go work somewhere.

Speaker: 1
16:33

It’s just people saying they don’t wanna go back to the office. That to me is a wild one. Like, yo, everyone always had to work in an office. There was a reason. You go there, that’s

Speaker: 0
16:42

to work. Right.

Speaker: 1
16:43

When you’re at home, you could just be staring at your phone. You could be jerking off. How many reporters got caught jerking off? Ai, the Zoom calls. Insane.

Speaker: 0
16:52

You can’t just leave people alone. Insane. They’ll

Speaker: 1
16:54

pretend they’re doing as good a job. They’re not. They gotta go to the office. That’s why, like, the all the people that are, like, super ambitious, like, psycho Saloni Musk type characters, you gotta go to the fucking office.

Speaker: 0
17:06

You know, dude, I yeah. And it’s it I have mixed feelings about the office thing because I I worked in offices at one point. I understand somebody saying that it was soul deadening. The overhead lights, the cube the gray cubicles right up. Right?

Speaker: 1
17:20

Oh, I get it.

Speaker: 0
17:20

So I get, like, I don’t wanna be in that environment. It sucks. But now you see offices I talk about this in my act a little bit. It’s like, now they make them fun. There’s, like, ping pong tables and shit like that. I don’t like that either. I think that creates the wrong vibe at work.

Speaker: 1
17:35

Severance. Yes.

Speaker: 0
17:36

Right? Yeah. Yeah. It should be just soul deadening enough that you feel like I must work. Yes. But maybe not Ai wanna hang myself. God. You know? And I think all that beanbag chairs in the office shit is is a fucking fishing lure.

Speaker: 1

What did you do when you were an office worker? This episode is brought to you by the farmer’s dog. I think we can all agree that eating highly processed food for every meal isn’t optimal. So why is processed food the status quo for dog food? Because that’s what kibble is, an ultra processed food. But a healthy alternative exists, the farmer’s dog. They make fresh food for dogs. And what does it look like?

Speaker: 1
18:16

Speaker: 1
22:43

have you seen Hunter I’m sorry. Have you seen Hunter Biden describing why crack is so good? It’s the greatest crack advertisement of all time. No. If if crack wasn’t terrible for you, this guy makes me wanna try crack. I I’m not going to. Don’t do it. I’m not giving any advice, but I’m saying this ai, like, legitimately, this might be the best advertisement for crack of all time. I’m gonna send it to you, Jamie.

Speaker: 1
23:09

You you you’re gonna watch it and you’re

Speaker: 0
23:11

you’re oh my god. I’m excited for this.

Speaker: 1
23:13

I wanna try crack.

Speaker: 0
23:14

He keeps he’s the gift that keeps on giving. Well, he’s

Speaker: 1
23:17

a lot smaller than people give him credit for.

Speaker: 0
23:19

I’ll tell

Speaker: 3
23:19

you that.

Speaker: 1
23:19

Like, he’s talking and one of the things he was talking about was why, smoking things are so addictive, why smoking cigarettes are so addictive, and like the psychology behind it. He’s not dumb. But he’s just a guy who, you know, became an addict. And that fucks your whole life up. It fucks you. You become a subhuman. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
23:38

When you’re junkied out all the time and you’re you’re that dude who’s ai what he was doing, like, making films and shit and driving with a gun. Yeah. He was fucking gone. He was out there, dude.

Speaker: 0
23:49

Well, when you’re an addict with money

Speaker: 1
23:51

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
23:52

It gets real wild.

Speaker: 1
23:53

And your dad is one of the most famous people on the planet. It’s so crazy. Listen to this.

Speaker: 2
23:58

The the only difference between crack cocaine and cocaine is sodium bicarbonate and and, water and heat, literally. That’s it. That’s it. And those things are pretty much free if you go to, like, a science store. This is free. You you can go to a your neighborhood convenience store and just get anyway, I don’t wanna tell people how to make how to make crack cocaine, but it literally is a meh jar jar of cocaine and baking soda.

Speaker: 2
24:23

How different is the experience? Oh, it’s vastly, vastly different. And, ai, for real, I I I feel really reluctant to, ai have some euphoric discussion. I know you’re not asking me to do that, but have some euphoric discussion about, crack cocaine. I think this might be kind of the opposite here. Okay. No.

Speaker: 2
24:40

I it’s the exact opposite. I’m saying Sai don’t want to have the experience of some euphoric recall. That’s how powerful crack cocaine is. Does crack cocaine make you act any differently? No. Is it safer than alcohol? Probably. People think of crack as being dirty. It’s the exact opposite.

Speaker: 2
24:59

When you make crack, what you’re doing is you’re burning off all the ai with the, sodium bicarbonate, which makes it smokeable. That’s all. You know, all of these actors and, you know, people in the past that talked about they had a problem with cocaine and freebasing. They were smoking crack.

Speaker: 2
25:18

So straw on the stove is the same thing. Not exactly, but close to it. But, it’s a little bit different. But anyway, my point about it that your point about it, which I think is is true, is that there’s a thing about crack that is really insidious. And what it is is that anytime, you know, I think one of the reasons that they believe that smoking cigarettes is so addictive is because it combines three really important things.

Speaker: 2
25:48

It’s habit forming, there’s an oral fixation, and there is a ritual combined with it. And so the idea of hand to mouth is a habit and a fixation that we learn very early even as children. With a pacifier, with a spoon, with your thumb to even to breastfeed. Okay? So that really.

Speaker: 2
26:05

So I and I don’t wanna get into the psychology of it because I’m ai I’m no expert. But I do know this, is that you combine with that ignition combustion, and then you combine the ritual. You have your cigarette in the morning. You have your cigarette when you get out of the car. You have your cigarette with your coffee. Crack is that on steroids. It’s over and over. Oh meh god.

Speaker: 2
26:24

Vatsal to it. There’s a ritualized part of it. The combination of all of those addictive behaviors together becomes, like, really powerful. And the drug in and of itself is a more immediate euphoric sensation and, connected to it than, in my experience, cocaine alone. Does it require more frequency to maintain the high? Yes. Yes.

Speaker: 2
26:44

And in the capacity to use more than you could otherwise with powder cocaine, just physically to be able to ingest it. Okay.

Speaker: 0
26:52

So you kinda

Speaker: 1
26:53

we should give that guy credit. Who who’s who’s the dude who’s interviewing him?

Speaker: 4
26:57

Andrew Callahan, Channel five.

Speaker: 1
26:58

Well, he nailed it. He did a great job. That’s the best ad for Coke ever.

Speaker: 0
27:02

It’s the best.

Speaker: 1
27:03

Best ad for crack ever. Yeah. And he could be president.

Speaker: 0
27:06

How about that?

Speaker: 1
27:06

How about that?

Speaker: 0
27:07

That kid He

Speaker: 1
27:10

could. Ai bullshit. Hunter Biden after all he’d been through. Look, we all his dirty laundry’s all out there.

Speaker: 0
27:16

We all see it. He he was a freak. He, speaking of which

Speaker: 1
27:20

Smart smarter than his dad when his dad was young. And he

Speaker: 0
27:24

was a crackhead. He spoke so eloquently about crack just then. I mean, that was and by the way, you know what two words got me? What? Ignition was the first one.

Speaker: 1
27:34

Yeah. Jesus, bro.

Speaker: 0
27:35

And I forget was I forget the second word, but ignition, I was like, you got my ears here. But I have a friend that smoked crack.

Speaker: 1
27:42

Oh my god. I have a couple.

Speaker: 0
27:43

Yeah. And I said, what was it like? Like, how describe it to me. And he goes, dude, he goes, the best way I could describe it is imagine you are as horny as humanly possible, you have a raging hard on, and a woman sits down on your dick for two seconds and then plops off and walks away.

Speaker: 0
28:06

He goes he goes, that sensation of the thrill of that, he goes, that’s the only way I could think to kind of equate, like, what the charge of it is and how excited you are Jesus. And how you feel you need to immediately do it again.

Speaker: 1
28:18

And when you do it again, do you get the same reaction, or is it dumbed down?

Speaker: 0
28:22

That Ai don’t remember what he sai, but I got the impression that it’s kind of like, you know, it’s that just on repeat. It’s the broken record of that.

Speaker: 1
28:31

Put down and then big crashes.

Speaker: 0
28:33

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
28:34

I had a buddy in in New York that smoked ram, and he would have these giant crashes. One of the things that he would have to do is he would have to go to, a store, like a liquor store and get a 40 ounce of malt liquor.

Speaker: 0
28:47

Okay.

Speaker: 1
28:47

That was how he’d calm himself down from the crack. So, like, a lot of tyler, I would pick him up. I would even drop him off when he was buying his shit back then. And, then, when I’d get him, he’d he’d just be, like, pale like cardboard and had to drink malt liquor. It’s ai he’s about to have a fucking heart attack.

Speaker: 0
29:08

But by the way, that’s all it takes is one forty ounce? Ai thinking you need the fucking mainline a bottle of Jack Daniels to to even out.

Speaker: 1
29:17

Meh a couple of forties.

Speaker: 0
29:18

Okay.

Speaker: 1
29:19

Speaker: 4
33:25

It’s so

Speaker: 1
33:25

dumb. It’s so dumb. It’s ridiculous. I read another article the other day about us being an anti woke comedy scene.

Speaker: 0
33:33

Yeah. The thing about UCB coming in?

Speaker: 1
33:35

Like, why not just do great stuff? Go do great stuff. Don’t worry about what we’re doing. And we’re not anti woke. Right. There’s no anti woke. There’s there’s ai a shit ton of left wing comics sai the mothership. It’s, like, just not not what we’re talking about. Yeah. It’s We’re not dwelling on that.

Speaker: 1
33:52

We’re making fun of things.

Speaker: 0
33:53

It it that article upset me because when I saw the headline, I was excited ai I used to do UCB shows in New York. I did them in LA. Yeah. Ai I did them in LA too. And I was like, oh, cool. UCB’s coming? Like, it’ll be more stuff for the scene and stuff.

Speaker: 1
34:09

The scenes it’s always better if there’s more in the scene. But that’s also you gotta realize, like, someone framing it in a way that’s gonna get people to read it.

Speaker: 0
34:15

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
34:16

And then there’s people that genuinely do think that way. And it’s what a lot of that is, I think, is the walled garden issue. And the fact that there’s, like, a walled garden. Right? When there’s a walled garden, there’s a bunch of people that are doing really well together, and they’re hanging out together, and they have fun.

Speaker: 1
34:30

And you’re not in that group. You start getting mad at that and you find reasons why that’s bad because, you know, you want something like that in your life, which we all do. If I see, like, a whole group of friends, like, saloni around and laughing, I always smile because I know what that’s like. I like it.

Speaker: 0
34:46

Mhmm.

Speaker: 1
34:46

But if you never have that in your life and you see a group of people palling around and having a good time together and hugging each other, just laughing and just having a good old time, you feel, like, left out.

Speaker: 0
34:56

Mhmm.

Speaker: 1
34:56

You feel ai you feel disrespected almost. Yeah. You know? This episode is brought to you by ZipRecruiter. Speed and quality aren’t always synonymous. I don’t go to a fast food joint expecting a five star meal or use instant coffee thinking it’ll taste like it came from a French press.

Do you remember, like I don’t know if you ever experienced this, but I’m I’m assuming you have. It’s kinda like when you’re coming up the ladder initially in show business, and you see famous people on TV and whatever, and you got an opinion about everybody that’s having too much fun that’s annoying.

Speaker: 0
36:34

Oh, yeah. Yeah. That guy’s music sucks and this and that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
36:38

And then five years later, you find yourself in a room with the guy at some party, and you meet him and talk to him and and you go, what? He’s the ai. What the ai fuck? Ai? I think I like his music now.

Speaker: 1
36:52

It just changes. It’s so stupid. But it’s just a normal thing that people do. We talk shit. And then the problem now is you talk shit and you’re just talking shit. Like, you and I would be talking the same way if we were in Mitzi’s bar just hanging out. We’d be talking shit.

Speaker: 0
37:08

Exactly.

Speaker: 1
37:08

And if if someone records that or writes it down, it seems so much different than just just regular talking shit, which is what everybody does.

Speaker: 0
37:17

Well and that’s that’s one of the things I wrote down here that I wanted to sai, and I don’t say it. I swear to you. I don’t say it to blow smoke because it’s your place, and I get to work there a lot and all that stuff. That’s all beautiful. I say this very genuinely, man. When I swung in last night, and everybody’s at the the, you know, hanging after Kill Tony, and it’s usually a fun time.

Speaker: 0
37:38

And, and Carrie was like she’s like, hey, babe. You want a shot? And I go, no. No. Not tonight. I gotta I gotta take it easy tonight.

Speaker: 0
37:48

And, I go, I’m I’m I’m doing Joe’s show tomorrow. And, dude, like, the staff, everybody, the friends, the comp, everybody being like, dude, congrats. Fucking special dropped today. You’re doing Rogan tomorrow. Dude, kill it. Have fun, dude. We fucking love you. And I stepped back, and I was like, this feels like family to me.

Speaker: 0
38:07

This is a beautiful thing. Everybody’s so supportive. There’s no backbiting. There’s no shit talking. It’s all fucking love.

Speaker: 0
38:14

So when I hear people say negative shit about the Austin scene, I’m like, it’s it’s I’ve I’ve found it to be a beautiful experience, like, truly. Like, a truly heartwarming experience.

Speaker: 1
38:24

It’s, it’s people that aren’t in the scene. That’s all it is. It’s ai people that that they’re looking at it from the outside. Sana it’s not just us that are like this. Like, my thought on all this shit is that my favorite people to hang out with are comedians. And if you make an environment where comedians are really happy and everyone is has a lot of gratitude. Mhmm.

Speaker: 0
38:47

A lot

Speaker: 1
38:47

of gratitude for what they’re able to do with their ai, and that they have such great friends, and they get to do sets and have fun, and it it transfers over to all the other people too. It transfers over to the up and comers. It transfers over to the staff. Everybody is having a good time. Everybody has a real positive attitude. That’s possible to do.

Speaker: 1
39:07

Yeah. You don’t have arya calls. You don’t have to you just, you know, just make a place.

Speaker: 0
39:15

It’s

Speaker: 1
39:16

You can do it. It can be done. We did it at the Comedy Store. We the the Comedy Store was pretty fucking positive for the most part before we left.

Mhmm.

Speaker: 1
39:23

And we do it here too. And in some people don’t wanna hang with comics, they’re lone wolves and that’s fine too, man. That’s not what it’s about. What it’s about is making an environment where it’s easiest possible for someone to thrive. Mhmm. So you got a bunch of feedback from a bunch of other comedians.

Speaker: 1
39:40

You got a lot of up and coming talent that are, like, really killing on stage and really trying to be heard and really writing new stuff all the time, performing all the time. It’s good for everybody. Yeah. It’s like a big old pressure cooker. It’s like a a wrestling room at Iowa State. Yeah. You know, it’s like, oh, Jesus Christ.

It’s good for all of us. That’s I look at it the same way I look at sports. I look at it the way I look at martial arts. Like, what’s the best way to get better? You gotta surround yourself with really good people. Also, make a gym that has everything the fighters need. Everything they need, like the UFC performance center, something like or performance Institute, something like that.

He loves, like, the development process. And, you know, he gives really good advice. Like, I’ve seen him give, like, really good advice to up and coming comics about, like, maybe this is what you need to concentrate on.

Speaker: 1
42:44

This is where you have, like, a a kind of a hole in your your game, like, how you’re setting it up. Maybe you have too many words. Maybe you’re this. Maybe you’re that. Maybe you’re looking down at the ground. You need to look in the audience a little bit.

Speaker: 0
42:55

Yeah. You know? I learned, excuse me. Ai you know, you’re always learning. Right? But I just rewatched the Gary Shandling doc, the HBO one. And he talks at the beginning of that. He talks about when Mitzi Shore said to him, honey, you’re not a comic. You’re not a comic. You’re a writer.

Speaker: 0
43:13

And then he was so determined to be a comic, and he was like and you’re seeing his notes from his journals from that time. Yeah. And he’s like, use your face. Your expressions matter at these moments and your energy and the way you look. And when and I was like, oh my god, man.

Speaker: 0
43:27

There was that guy that was kinda legendary in New York that ran the comic strip. He was the booker. And when you auditioned, you had to audition for him, and then he would take you into a room and tell you, Lucian.

Speaker: 1
44:22

Oh, Lucian. Yes. That’s right.

Speaker: 0
44:26

I remember I auditioned for him desperately trying to get in anywhere in New York. Oh, Lucian was brutal. He brought me in the room. He sat me down. He goes, what can I say? I mean, some of the jokes work, but I don’t believe you. And, and then he goes, look at the way you dress.

Speaker: 0

Speaker: 0
44:50

I don’t remember what

Speaker: 0
44:59

Oh, boy. But I

Speaker: 1
44:59

was 21. I didn’t have anything to say. Ai I had nothing to say.

How long were you in New York? You were out of New York way before I came to New York. But how long were you

Speaker: 1
45:10

tyler before? New York when I was 25. 20 almost 26, I guess. No. I had to be 26. No. I was 26. And then I came to California initially for this Fox show that I did with Jim Brewer. Jim Brewer was the, he was the mascot for the other team. And the it was a baseball team called it was called Hardball.

Speaker: 0
45:32

The sitcom?

Speaker: 0
45:37

You know what’s funny, dude? I was saying this to all the boys out in the in the, outside area here. Ai Sai gotta tell Joe this because I keep forgetting to tell him. Because I and because I always forget, oh, he was on that show. I I you know? NewsRadio during COVID saved my fucking life.

Speaker: 0
45:56

I swear

Speaker: 1
45:59

to you. Did you binge it?

Speaker: 0
46:00

I was so I was living in an apartment that only had windows in the bedroom, so I had no light in my apartment.

Speaker: 3
46:07

Oh, no.

Speaker: 0
46:07

It was a tenement building. The hallway I was telling the guys ai. I was like, the hallway

Speaker: 1
46:11

trapped in a place with no light at all?

Speaker: 0
46:14

Yeah. The hallway in this building was the hallway looked like the alley behind the Wuhan lab. I was like I was like, I’m gonna get COVID from the fucking railing. Ai was like it was so gross. Everybody was so freaked out. Nobody knew what’s going on, like, in the beginning. And and, I was like, dude, I’m trapped. I I I’m alone. Like, this is the worst thing ever.

Speaker: 0
46:35

And my buddy, Pat Walsh, who I do my we’ll see you on help podcast with, he said, listen, man. Have you seen news radio? And I said, no. I’ve never seen it. I didn’t I missed it when it was on. And he goes, look. Amazon’s got the whole series right now for $20.

Speaker: 0
46:50

Just buy it and watch it. And I bought it, and I watched it, and you, fucking Dave Foley, the best, Phil Hartman. I was just like

Speaker: 1
47:02

Steve Root,

Speaker: 0
47:02

Andy Dick. Oh my god.

Speaker: 1
47:04

And Vicky Lewis.

Speaker: 0
47:05

It just

Speaker: 1
47:05

Candy Alexander, Maura Tierney.

Speaker: 0
47:07

Yeah. Yeah. It

Speaker: 1
47:08

was a great cast.

Speaker: 0
47:09

It just took me because it was so fun. It was so silly. It was classic. It it it reminded me of a better time because it was a little bit older because it’s from the nineties.

Speaker: 1
47:20

Yeah. Almost almost innocent.

Speaker: 0
47:22

Oh my god.

Speaker: 1
47:22

That style of comedy. Yeah. It’s so silly. It’s ai, it’s it’s a fun thing to do. And to to be able to do it that way, like, with those people, they’re all so fucking good, you know. And I didn’t know I had fucking zero acting experience. I did a couple of episodes of that Hardball shah. It was terrible, like I said.

Speaker: 1
47:40

I wasn’t good on it either. I’m not a good actor.

Speaker: 0
47:45

No. You’re not. No. No. No. No. No. No. Not I wasn’t saying no. You’re not a good actor. I’m saying no. You’re wrong. I wanna compliment you. Sitcom multicam acting, multicam is very different from single cam. Multicam, in my opinion, is the hardest form of acting.

Speaker: 1
48:02

No, dude. You’re doing it in front of a crowd. It’s like stand up. It’s not that hard. You know when when you’ve got a good one, when you got a good punch ai and you can look Andy Dick in the face and sai, because it says it on the label. Yeah. Like, whatever it is. And you know it’s gonna get a big laugh. It’s just like doing stand up. Like, comics thrive in those multicam sitcoms.

Speaker: 1
48:21

That’s why they kept giving them to, like, Roseanne, Seinfeld, Brett Butler. They wanted every Tim Allen. Right. Everybody that could do stand up Right. Could do that kinda in front of an audience acting.

Speaker: 0
48:33

See, I think I think you’re not giving yourself enough credit. I think it’s I think I agree with you the idea that if the joke’s there, you can land it. But think about it like this with stand up. Right? You know, Woody Allen once said, I used to think it was as easy as just writing a good joke, and if I said it, it was fine.

Speaker: 0
48:51

He goes, then I realized that wasn’t the case. I had to write good jokes that were of my personality. And that’s why I’m so enamored by guys that are good at multicam sitcom acting because they’re writing something for a character you’re playing. And if it’s knowing how to land the joke, but also making it believable. I’m I’m in awe of Kevin James.

Speaker: 1
49:11

Oh, he’s the man.

Speaker: 0
49:12

I’m in awe of him. You watch King of Queens, and I’m like, Jesus Christ. He delivered that line that nine out of 10 other people, it would be in no way organic or believable, that choice he just made. And he does it in a way where you believe that’s actually who this person is, and it gets a laugh.

Speaker: 0
49:32

Like

Speaker: 1
49:33

Yeah. That was one of the last of the great sitcoms.

Speaker: 0
49:36

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
49:36

Right? Because, like, what when did the sitcom officially die? The only one who has a sitcom right now that I know is miss Pat, and hers is on the BET app.

Speaker: 0
49:45

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
49:46

But who else who else do you know that has a sitcom?

Speaker: 0
49:50

No. But meh my my buddy, Pat, I just meh, works on that shah, actually. And I agree

Speaker: 1
49:54

Shah has a sitcom, but Sai Shane’s Ai is not really a sitcom. It’s a single sana comedy show.

Speaker: 0
50:01

Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
50:02

It’s not a situation comedy. Right? Is it? Well, it’s a sit it is. Is it a sitcom, technically?

Speaker: 0
50:07

It is. It it yes. But it’s a single cam. Like, the multi cam is the Yeah. Is the traditional whatever. But I I think it died. I was watching, I also watched this later during COVID, rules of engagement, which was David Spade’s last sitcom. It was him and Patrick Warburton. I don’t know if you remember that show.

Speaker: 0
50:28

Patrick Warburton

Speaker: 1
50:29

was on, news radio a bit too. He was. Couple episodes. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ai forget how many he did.

Speaker: 0
50:37

But that show came out in, like, I think it ended in, like, twenty seventeen

Speaker: 1
50:43

ish. Shah was probably the last one?

Speaker: 0
50:44

2013. 2013. Wow. So you watch it, and they’re getting jokes in where you’re ai, you can tell two years later, they wouldn’t have allowed any of these jokes.

Speaker: 1
50:54

You know what show that I used to shit on until I watched it is a really good shah. Ai feel bad that I used to shit on it. Big Bang Theory.

Speaker: 0
51:01

Speaker: 0
51:08

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
51:08

Sitcom, that’s a fun sitcom, man. And I I had always thought it was crap. Yeah. I’d always heard it was ram, everybody and I ai made this judgment on it based on other people’s opinions of it. The

Speaker: 0
51:18

and you we were talking earlier about what people hate on something.

Speaker: 1
51:21

Yeah.

Speaker: 0

Speaker: 0
51:53

No.

Speaker: 1
51:55

That would have been another story.

Speaker: 0
51:57

And then they fucked me over. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
51:58

Bro, speaking about getting fucked over, I wanna hear a story that I’ve read today. Jamie, ai out if this is true, but I’m pretty sure it is. There was a guy who decided that he was gonna leave Texas because of the woke direction that America is going in. And so he decides to go to Russia because there’s some guy some Meh sai up ai an expat community in

Speaker: 0
52:19

Russia. Okay.

Speaker: 1
52:20

And this guy goes in there, and then they could script him for the army and send him to the front line. Father who moved from family from Russia to escape woke America is sent to the front line.

Speaker: 0
52:32

Jesus Christ. Bro,

Speaker: 1
52:37

That’s that’s a crazy story.

Speaker: 0
52:39

That’s insane.

Speaker: 1
52:40

With his family, with his wife and his daughters. He just moves there, doesn’t know anything about the culture, and all of a sudden, you’re in the army.

Speaker: 0
52:47

That’s it. Yeah. You’re in

Speaker: 1
52:49

the army. We need you.

Speaker: 0
52:50

And ai the way Bro. Fed up with woke America. I would think Texas is a place where

Speaker: 1
52:55

Like, if you like, Texas is too woke for you. You need to go spend a couple months in Silver Lake. You think Texas is too woke?

Speaker: 0
53:04

Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
53:06

Go hang out in the East Village for a couple weeks.

Speaker: 0
53:08

Oh ai god. Yeah. Yeah. I lived in Silver Lake. It is it is Insufferable. Factiously woke in

Speaker: 1
53:15

Silver Lake. Everybody needs antidepressants. No one has any vitamin d. They’re all they’re all fucking they’re all rotting out from the inside. They’re all overwhelmed with ai, trying to control everyone’s speech and behavior and, like, every fucking flag that you could possibly wave for what you support.

Speaker: 1
53:33

Where what are we on this week? What are we doing this week? Like, everyone’s fucking nuts.

Speaker: 0
53:38

I think a city that was always one of my big gripes with with life in LA or or more specifically Hollywood. I think a city where you have to drive to get to the bar, you you you got a problem because nobody’s able to just go out the front door, go down the street, and just have some fun.

Speaker: 1
53:58

Right.

Speaker: 0
53:58

Everything is it’s it’s gotta be planned. It’s gotta be this. It’s gotta be Hard

Speaker: 1
54:01

to park.

Speaker: 0
54:02

Yeah. So nobody cuts loose.

Speaker: 1
54:03

Also, you’re always in your car. So you’re always isolated from other people Yes. Until you integrate. And then you’re back to my isolation. And in in New York, you’re you have to integrate. Like, you just you get on the subway, you walk down the street, everybody’s there with everybody. Yep.

Speaker: 1
54:16

Dude There’s something to be said for that.

Speaker: 0
54:18

There is. I always when I lived in LA, I said the reason I don’t like LA, I always said the ultimate goal of people in LA is isolation. The ultimate goal of people in New York is integration. In LA, the big dream is what? Let me get the Mansion. Yeah. The house way up in these hills

Speaker: 1
54:33

and The old gate with dogs and fucking dudes on Yeah. Meh. Sniper posts.

Speaker: 0
54:38

Yeah. Yeah. Guys being like, I got an eye scanner on my house.

Speaker: 1
54:42

Terrace, machine guns.

Speaker: 0
54:43

Yeah. Yeah. It’s, you know, and and the only peep and then they have these parties in LA where they hire a staff to create the environment of a bar in their home. So now they’re create there’s, like, catering waiters walking around and shit. You’re like, guys, I’m just trying to play beer pong and, like, get fucked up.

Speaker: 0
55:01

Like, what is this? Right? Sai weird. But New York, you could be Top Floor Trump Tower. Guess what?

Speaker: 0
55:06

You walk out the front door, you’re going to the same shit newsstand that I’m going to. You’re getting your coffee from the same fucking place.

Speaker: 1
55:13

That’s another thing New York still has, newsstands. Yes. People still buy the newspaper.

Speaker: 0
55:18

Isn’t that wild?

Speaker: 1
55:18

The actual newspaper. Yeah. I wonder what percentage of newspapers get sold in New York City.

Speaker: 0
55:24

That’s a great question.

Speaker: 1
55:25

Because nobody’s buying newspapers anymore. No. Like, what percent is it possible to find out when New York Times give that information out? Like, what percentage of the New York Times, once consumed in paper form, is purchased in New York City?

Speaker: 0
55:37

It’s it’s, it’s probably the most out of anywhere. Right? Because there’s so many old school New Yorkers that are like, this is how you read the news. That’s part of their life.

Speaker: 1
55:47

Oh, yeah.

Speaker: 0
55:47

Getting the times every morning, going

Speaker: 1
55:49

people are a problem. Those just those people don’t they don’t know they’re getting fucked. They don’t know the Internet. They haven’t made their way through Reddit yet.

Speaker: 0
55:59

The, Billy Connolly

Speaker: 1
56:00

seen the Fauci memes.

Speaker: 0
56:02

Billy Connolly had this joke after he got sober where he was talking about living in New York, and he goes, every morning, my routine is I walk to the newsstand. I buy a cup of coffee in the the morning edition of The New York Times. My life is a ball of fire. And then the funniest part of the joke is he said there was the same homeless guy every day that he would give money to.

Speaker: 0
56:27

And he said one day the homeless guy goes, you know you don’t have to give me money every day. And he goes, I know you I don’t, you little fucking cunt. Jesus.

Speaker: 1
56:37

It’s better with a Scottish accent.

Speaker: 0
56:39

Right? It is. Yeah. It is.

Speaker: 1
56:41

Yes. There’s something to be said for living jammed up with people. But I think, ultimately, the problem is it’s just overstimulation. I don’t think it’s good for peace of mind. I think it’s good for energy. So one of the things that my friends that love it there, they all talk about like, my friend Jeff, who’s been there forever.

Speaker: 1
56:59

He’s like, I love the energy of the city. I’m like, really?

Speaker: 0
57:03

Energy. New York’s one of those places, man, when I loved it. God. I loved it. And I still have a lot of love for the city. It wasn’t for me to live in anymore. But I always said, like, New York is one of those cities. Whenever you get there well, it doesn’t matter what year it is. When you get there, that begins your impression of the best version of New York.

Speaker: 0
57:25

And eventually, ai take five years, might take two decades, might take thirty years, whatever. Eventually, you’re gonna say this isn’t what it used to be anymore. But there’s a crop of people coming in right at that time that are saying this is the best place ever. Oh, yeah.

Speaker: 0
57:40

Thirty years from now, they’re gonna say they’re tired of it or whatever.

Speaker: 1
57:43

But Listen, buddy. Thirty years from now, we’re all gonna be serving robots. Okay? So all this good old day stuff, we are the last people Yeah. They’re gonna talk about the good old days. Yeah. We’re the last ones.

Speaker: 0
57:54

Yeah. And I agree with you. We’ll we’ll be serving robots. Yeah. Not robots are gonna be yeah.

Speaker: 1
57:59

I remember people people used to talk people used to talk about the good old days of Ai Square. And I was always ai, you’re crazy. Like, you want Times Square to be filled with criminals and peep shows and fucking drug dealers and it was super sketchy. Right. Super sketchy.

Speaker: 1
58:13

And then Ai saw it the way it is now where it’s a giant Applebee’s and I was like, oh, they were right. It’s all you know, it’s like it’s one of those things, like, you see where it’s going. You see where it’s going. You’re like, you guys don’t understand. This is going this is going in a terrible direction. You do this is just the first steps of something going in a terrible direction. Meh.

Speaker: 1
58:38

There’s no more, you know, street hustlers and scary people trying to rob people. But now you have the corporatization of one of the literally the wildest places in New York City was Times Square. It was a wild vatsal

Speaker: 0
58:54

crazy place. Yeah. What you want what you want to me, the analogy is you want the perfect dive bar. That’s what that’s what we all want. Feels comfortable

Speaker: 1
59:03

Right.

Speaker: 0
59:03

Little gritty Yeah. But I feel okay. Once in a while, you’ll go, let’s find a dive bar. And you walk in, and there’s too many boxes in the corner, and nothing works. And you’re like, something’s not right here. There was a one we we used to go to at LA. There was a motel upstairs, and the bar downstairs only served two things, Modelo and Corona.

Speaker: 0
59:23

And we were like, there is some sort of pimping operation or something happening in here. It’s too much.

Speaker: 1
59:28

There’s a lot of places like that that you know are losing money. Like, oh, is the Chinese ai on this? Like, who owns this fucking business? Like, how is this business still open?

Speaker: 0
59:36

Yeah. Yeah. But you want you want perfect dive bar vibes. When it you know, when it’s too New York, Times Square now is ai it’s like going to a bar in Epcot Center. Uh-huh. And you’re like, oh, god. This has no pulse. I didn’t want it this clean. Not this clean.

Speaker: 1
59:53

When I was a kid, I used to play pool in New York at Chelsea Billiards. It’s a twenty four hour pool hall that was known throughout the world as a place where, like, the best pool players in New York City would go and gamble. So I’d go there two, 03:00 in the morning, any given ai, and you would find some of the best players in the world matching up playing pool for money.

Speaker: 0
01:00:13

Wow. Oh, it

Speaker: 1
01:00:13

was amazing. And it was just $24.07. It was open all the time. So there’s people like guys who are street hustlers, who are pool hustlers, who would sleep under the tables. There was a bunch of people there that were, like, really talented pool players, but they’re basically homeless.

Speaker: 1
01:00:25

And they would just run around and ai friend that I was telling you about that smoked crack, that’s how I knew him. He he was he was basically a homeless crackhead who was a genius pool player. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:00:35

Did you ever get to play against any of the, like, big guys? Like Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:00:39

I got my ass kicked. I played it a bunch turn. I wasn’t nearly good enough back then to play against those guys. I was just learning pool.

Speaker: 0
01:00:46

Mhmm.

Speaker: 1
01:00:46

But I was fascinated by it. But it was just the place you know, the kind of thing that you’d have in New York City, there’s always different places we could go. We could go to, like, ten, fifteen places that were pool halls in New York City. There were twenty four hours. Wow.

Speaker: 1
01:00:58

And you would go there, and this one was a complete Chinese owned place. You would go there and, like, some of them you would go to. Not Chelsea, but some of them you would go to. They were off the beaten path. You’d go there. Everyone spoke Chinese. They had Chinese on the wall.

Speaker: 1
01:01:12

They did speak a little bit of English. You could pay them for table ai. You go and play. And you watch these dudes gamble in there too.

Speaker: 0
01:01:17

It’s it’s one of one of my that that version of New York, I think, is probably, I would think, extinct.

Speaker: 1
01:01:24

It’s not it’s not worth enough money.

Speaker: 0
01:01:26

Right.

Speaker: 1
01:01:26

Sai the thing is, like, if you could put some Louis Vuitton store Yeah. In the place where that used to be, that’s gonna make a lot more money ram the CD twenty four hour pool hall that charges $20 an hour for table time. Yeah. That’s ridiculous. How are you getting rich?

Speaker: 0
01:01:39

Yeah. How are

Speaker: 1
01:01:39

you getting rich off? $20 an hour at table time.

Speaker: 0
01:01:41

The Louis Vuitton store also doesn’t have crackheads sleeping under their purses.

Speaker: 1
01:01:45

But it was so fun, man. It was ai to be a young man and to be around all those people was a, like, a very it was a very interesting experience because it although Ai knew it wasn’t healthy for them and I knew it wasn’t a smart way to live your life, the fact that they were, like, dedicated to never doing anything but what they were doing.

Speaker: 1
01:02:05

And they were smart people, man.

Speaker: 0
01:02:07

Yeah. That’s that’s it’s it’s It’s fucking weird. Commitment is admirable, but that turns into a and that gets into the zone where ai like, this is this is dark. This is

Speaker: 1
01:02:17

very dark.

Speaker: 0
01:02:17

Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:02:18

But they just didn’t fit. Yeah. They didn’t fit. Okay? That you ai, just like you barely fit in that sana office. Mhmm. They didn’t fit at all. They just couldn’t do it for they have a whether it’s ADHD, stepmom beat him with a belt, whatever the fuck it was.

Speaker: 0
01:02:31

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:02:32

It’s they’re not gonna fit.

Speaker: 0
01:02:33

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:02:33

They’re not gonna fit in whatever corporate cookie cutter life.

Speaker: 0
01:02:38

Right.

Speaker: 1
01:02:38

But they had a place in pool halls where they they could hang out with other misfits. That was, like, a big part of the charm of the place.

Speaker: 0
01:02:46

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:02:46

It was a magnet for misfits.

Speaker: 0
01:02:48

Yeah. And now they’re all DoorDash delivery guys probably.

Speaker: 1
01:02:52

They’re probably dead. Yeah. A lot of them are dead. A lot of dudes that I used to play with are dead.

Speaker: 0
01:02:57

One of the things that I cherish most about my New York experience was when I first got there, it’s how I became friends with Attell. Dave liked to go out back then. You know? And and Insomnia or Insomniac was on the air, that show he hosted where he would, you know, go out into the cities.

Speaker: 1
01:03:14

And get obliterated.

Speaker: 0
01:03:16

Yeah. So Dave I like to drink, and Dave was like, Joe, meh. You’re a nice kid. Come out with me. And he would take me to these after he knew every fucking after hours course.

Speaker: 1
01:03:27

Of course.

Speaker: 0
01:03:27

He had a fucking blast. And Attell was classic. He was ai, Batman, you’d be doing shots with him for three hours, and you turn around, and he was gone.

Speaker: 1
01:03:40

Didn’t wanna say goodbye. Yeah. Fuck this. I’m just leaving.

Speaker: 0
01:03:43

Yeah. And you’re literally, like, I’m on Avenue D, I think. Where the fuck am I right?

Speaker: 1
01:03:47

Ai d didn’t have GPS back then either.

Speaker: 0
01:03:49

No GPS. No Uber? No Uber. Right. No Uber. And broke comic, couldn’t afford cabs. So trying

Speaker: 1
01:03:54

to figure

Speaker: 0
01:03:54

out how to subway back to Queens where I live.

Speaker: 1
01:03:57

God. Yeah. At three in the morning.

Speaker: 0
01:03:58

Oh my god. Three. Sometimes five, six. Oh my god. Just yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:04:02

That’s the other thing. Bars in New York City open till 4AM.

Speaker: 0
01:04:05

Yeah. That’s getting lesser and lesser too, though.

Speaker: 1
01:04:08

Is it?

Speaker: 0
01:04:08

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When we opened But it’s legal still. When we opened,

Speaker: 1
01:04:13

Joey legal still?

Speaker: 0
01:04:15

Meh. It is. But there’s when when we opened Joey Rose’s, we got a liquor license because there’s a bar component. And we, you know, meh went in for the liquor. I learned so much about a liquor license when we did that. You probably did too when you opened mothership. There’s there’s, like, all these rules. Like, okay. You’re allowed to serve till midnight on these nights, but not till two.

Speaker: 0
01:04:35

And we’ll let you go to two on these nights, but not till four. And if you wanna go till four, it has to be in this type of location where this type of activity will never happen, meaning, like, a DJ that can offend neighbors because of the base or or it’s gotta be situated in a way where people will not be congregating outside because the venue is large enough to hold them.

Speaker: 0
01:04:57

There’s all this shit, but, like, that 4AM shit is going away. I don’t think I don’t think they want it in New York anymore because of, you know, people get fucked up and they’re puking ai, and then the residents are getting pissed off. And What do

Speaker: 1
01:05:11

you think is gonna happen if this, how do you say his name? Mondani guy?

Speaker: 0
01:05:15

I don’t know how to say his name, but I didn’t tell you right now.

Speaker: 1
01:05:18

Name, Jamie?

Speaker: 4
01:05:20

Zoran Mom Mom Donnie. So so it’s ai say

Speaker: 1
01:05:23

it again,

Speaker: 4
01:05:24

Zoran. Almost like the movie, I think.

Speaker: 1
01:05:27

I Say the whole name. Meh Donnie. I’m gonna use that as my, ringtone from now on.

Speaker: 0
01:05:33

Mom Donnie.

Speaker: 1
01:05:34

You saying that?

Speaker: 0
01:05:34

Mom Donnie. I admittedly know very little about this guy. All I really know is this half the people seem excited and half the people seem like it’s the worst thing ever. So par for the course, I guess, in politics.

Speaker: 1
01:05:47

Well, young people are very excited.

Speaker: 0
01:05:49

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:05:49

Young people think they’re gonna we’re gonna give communism a try. Yay. Let’s see what happens. Ai know he wants to jack up a lot of taxes for businesses. I don’t understand business enough to comment on that. I don’t know whether that would be beneficial overall for the meh good of everybody or not, but I’m always skeptical when they want more money.

Speaker: 0
01:06:08

Does he want to jack up taxes on all businesses or just

Speaker: 1
01:06:11

I don’t know.

Speaker: 0
01:06:12

Certain level businesses?

Speaker: 1
01:06:14

I don’t know. I think he wants to change the tax code in New York to be the same for businesses as it is for New Jersey, which is a little higher. Believe it or not, New Jersey is a little higher than New York.

Speaker: 0
01:06:24

That city is making it, in my opinion, absolutely impossible for mom and pop businesses to continue to function. And it’s starting to happen more and more everywhere.

Speaker: 1
01:06:37

That’s that’s a shame because that’s one of the coolest things about New York City is that you can go into these little mom and pop shops. We went to a sandwich ai. I wish I could remember the name of it, near where Taylor Swift’s house is. Taylor Swift used to own a house.

Speaker: 1
01:06:52

This is how we know that.

Speaker: 0
01:06:54

Right.

Speaker: 1
01:06:54

There’s a bunch of gals. We parked over in the corner. We parked on the street to eat our sandwiches. And ai like, what the fuck is going on at that house? And there’s all these girls who pause in front of the house and they would get pictures taken. They would, you know, have ai their perfect angle Yeah. And look cute in front of Taylor Swift’s house.

Speaker: 1
01:07:10

So these fucking poor people that used to, you know, they bought this house, thinking this is a dope house. They might not have even known or they thought it’d be cool. It used to be Taylor Swift, but everyone’s gonna know it’s not anymore, so no big deal. No. They take pictures of your house every day.

Speaker: 0
01:07:24

That’s so funny. The juxtaposition of those images, a bunch of hot chicks posing perfectly and then a bunch of dudes in a hot car eating hoagies.

Speaker: 1
01:07:33

From, like, the most classic old school Italian deli that we found in in wherever that area is.

Speaker: 0
01:07:40

What do you know you do remember the part of town at all?

Speaker: 1
01:07:43

I don’t. I could find it. If I wanted to go through my phone, I could find it because I sent it to my friend Tommy when we’re going down there. But

Speaker: 0
01:07:49

I feel like I have to know the place you’re talking about if I I it’s probably a place I’ve been I feel like I’ve been to every sandwich place in New York City.

And, it’s a mom and pop spot that’s been there since, like, nineteen fucking sixty or some shit.

Speaker: 0
01:08:08

Yep. You

Speaker: 0
01:08:10

I mean, look at Katz’s now, dude. Now part of this is Katz is the best. Part of this is tourism. The sandwiches are 29 fucking dollars, man.

Speaker: 1
01:08:18

Just pay them. They’ve been around since the eighteen hundreds. Stop being a bitch. It’s worth it. It’s worth $50. The the greatest fucking sandwiches on the known planet. I was When you go there at 02:00 in the morning and you get a fucking pastrami Reuben from Katz’s Deli at 02:00 in the morning with the steak ai.

Speaker: 1
01:08:36

Oh ai god.

Speaker: 0
01:08:37

You know, Jerry’s Famous Deli in in LA was amazing. I think they’re all gone. I think they they closed a bunch of them. They closed the one near where I used to live in Woodland Hills, and then they closed the one in Studio City, I believe, which was the big one.

Speaker: 0
01:08:58

Wait. Is Jerry’s? What’s the one that just got shah down shut down for health code stuff? The one that had the godmother, the Italian sandwich that everybody loved and everybody goes down near the beach, I think.

Speaker: 0
01:10:13

I hope they fix it. I’ll tell you. That’s the thing I never expected in New York. Rats? Yeah. It’s like you open a food place in New York. You open anything in New York, rats is on your checklist

Speaker: 1
01:10:24

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:10:24

Of what you have to be ready to deal with. I mean, it’s crazy. It’s crazy. And the city just acts like, well,

01:10:36

They cannot. No. They cannot.

Speaker: 0
01:10:38

Those rats got bold or they evolved during COVID, dude. Yeah. They walk right up to you now in New York. They didn’t used to do that. Rats used to scurry if they saw anybody. They walk up to you now. Ai, it’s

Speaker: 1
01:10:50

That’s right.

Speaker: 0
01:10:50

Wild. They evolved. I I heard a thing.

Speaker: 1
01:10:52

Probably had to get more aggressive to survive because all the food got cut off because there was no restaurants open.

Speaker: 0
01:10:56

Well, also too, the places that were shut down, so many shut their doors but left their stock and abandoned ship. Uh-huh. So the rats got in there, and it was fucking you know, it was Charlotte’s Meh, the the fucking the rat at the picnic, whatever that fucking temple to. They just had a field day. But somebody told me a construction guy told me once. He goes, dude, rats are some of the smartest fucking creatures on Earth.

Speaker: 0
01:11:19

He goes, scaffolding when they’re scaffolding on a building, when they when they’re doing work on a building, it opens everything up and and rats tend to come. He said ai what they’ll do is they’ll hang dead rats from the scaffolding, and other rats will see the dead rats and go, don’t fuck with that place.

Speaker: 0
01:11:35

Isn’t that fucking crazy?

Speaker: 1
01:11:37

That’s crazy.

Isn’t that crazy?

Speaker: 1
01:11:39

If they see a dead rat, they run.

Speaker: 0
01:11:41

Well, I would Done no research to see if it’s true.

Speaker: 1
01:11:43

If I go into a neighborhood on horseback ram I see a dude fucking hanging by the front door, I’m like, oh, this is not a good spot to stop. Let’s keep moving.

Speaker: 0
01:11:52

We had to put in in the basement when we were sealing off some, potential entry points because you really gotta seal your basement off. That’s sai key thing in New York.

Speaker: 1
01:12:05

When Is it possible to seal it off from rats?

Speaker: 0
01:12:07

How about this, dude? Ready for this? Yeah. We had to seal off some potential entry points that the previous tenant had left. The the exterminator guy we brought in, he goes, here’s how you have to do this. You have to mix glass with the concrete. So if a rat does try to chew through it, it will, get hurt from the glass, and it will not try to do it again.

Speaker: 0
01:12:26

If you just have concrete, they will eat through the fucking concrete.

Speaker: 1
01:12:31

Just create a hole.

Speaker: 0
01:12:32

It’s it’s insane.

Speaker: 1
01:12:33

And they can get through, like, a nickel sai hole.

Yeah. It is his? Yeah. Yeah. He died. Right? Yeah. Mhmm.

Speaker: 1
01:12:55

Yeah. I don’t I didn’t know that that was his, but it’s really good. It’s it it’s and it talks about all the different diseases they carry. And then, all over the country, like, there’s rats everywhere. And one of the things they cover is the amount of rats that are in New York City, where it’s ai, it’s all an assumption. They don’t know.

Speaker: 1
01:13:15

They never meh weighed them. But they think the biomass of rats is equal to the biomass of people.

Speaker: 0
01:13:21

I don’t doubt it.

Speaker: 1
01:13:22

Do you know how crazy that is?

Speaker: 0
01:13:23

It’s insane.

Speaker: 1
01:13:24

Do you know how crazy if that’s true, that is so nuts. That’s sai that’s so many rats. Like, you’ll never get them out of there.

Speaker: 0
01:13:31

It’s fucking insane. It looked there’s there’s shots in that movie where they’re so on top of each other. It looks like world remember when World War z came out and, like, they did the thing in that movie where the zombies, like, literally snowballed? Yeah. The it looks like that Oh, yeah. Except with rats.

Speaker: 1
01:13:47

Yeah. With rats. And where are they getting enough food to sustain these insane numbers?

Speaker: 0
01:13:52

Oh, they eat concrete, apparently. Dude,

Speaker: 1
01:13:55

have you ever seen a rat set off a rat trap with a stick?

Speaker: 0
01:13:59

No. This is what I’m talking about, though.

Speaker: 1
01:14:01

Ai the now here’s the thing. It’s the there’s a camera set up in front of this rat trap. So you don’t know if they taught the rat to do it? Right. This is the fact that you could teach a rat how to set off a rat trap sai that it could eat the food that’s on the trap. Watch how he does it because he does it with a stick, dude. Jesus Christ. Yeah. Watch this. So here’s the check this out. So the rat comes in.

Speaker: 1
01:14:24

He’s like, oh, I know what this shit is. This is designed to fucking kill me. Oh, I see. Springs. Okay. Cool. Cool. Go over here and trip that motherfucker.

Speaker: 1
01:14:33

So he comes back with a stick, dude. I mean, how crazy is that? Now watch watch when the trap goes off. He doesn’t even flinch. He doesn’t even flinch.

Speaker: 1
01:14:43

Holy because he’s probably done this a 100 times. When the trap flips if this is a real video, and I don’t know that it’s a real video, the only thing that makes me think it’s a real video and it’s gonna sound crazy is that it’s from, like, two years ago. Yeah. Two years ago, you used to be able to tell if something was fake. Yeah. That’s how nuts the world’s gotten.

Speaker: 0
01:15:01

I know, dude. I know. I’m watching a channel on YouTube. It’s called Skywalker Stories, and it’s a guy that with with AI creates these little Star Wars vignettes of things all the fans always wanted to sai, but we never got to see. Oh, woah. They’re fucking awesome. They’re awesome. But, dude, he’ll make it with, like it’ll be Luke, but, like, Return of the Jedi Luke.

It’s it looks better than, like, the video that you would get back then.

Speaker: 0
01:16:00

Yes. Yes.

Speaker: 1
01:16:02

It’s so much clearer. Keep it going, dude. Are we gonna get in trouble for this? We’re just promoting them. Star Wars, Luke Skywalker encounters, Darth Bane.

Speaker: 4
01:16:13

I think there’s a front end

Speaker: 1
01:16:14

of the day.

Speaker: 4
01:16:14

Catch check his hand. Watch his hand. Five fingers there. Right. Six fingers there. Five fingers there. Six fingers there.

01:16:22

Six fingers? Yeah. Pause it.

Speaker: 4
01:16:26

Speaker: 0
01:16:27

Where’s the 6? That looks like 5.

Speaker: 1
01:16:28

That one just switched.

Speaker: 4
01:16:29

It just switched.

Speaker: 1
01:16:30

Oh. When did he have 6? +1, 234.

Speaker: 4
01:16:34

It blends. See that index finger?

Speaker: 1
01:16:36

No. Jamie, you’re like a wizard I’m not just on that. Catching this shit, dawg. Just tell you. How you catching that?

Speaker: 0
01:16:41

This is a lie. There is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength.

Speaker: 1
01:16:48

Ai. This is a little weak. I ai got a better voice actor for that.

Speaker: 0
01:16:50

Well, these kids these kids working in a garage. Ai, you know

Speaker: 1
01:16:56

who had the ai creepiest I watched it again, on the flight yesterday. The, the newest Nosferatu.

Speaker: 0
01:17:05

Yeah. Robert Robert Eggers.

Speaker: 1
01:17:07

Yeah. The the dude who played, Pennywise.

Speaker: 0
01:17:11

Yeah. Bill Skarsgard. He’s Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:17:14

Fucking amazing in this movie.

Speaker: 0
01:17:16

He’s a great actor.

Speaker: 1
01:17:17

That’s the best vampire movie of all time.

Speaker: 0
01:17:19

He’s a great actor.

Speaker: 2
01:17:20

He’s a

Speaker: 0
01:17:20

great actor.

Speaker: 1
01:17:21

That movie is creepy.

Speaker: 0
01:17:23

I liked it. I thought it was beautifully shot. My favorite will always be Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

Speaker: 1
01:17:29

That was a great one.

Speaker: 0
01:17:30

The one with Hopkins and

Speaker: 1
01:17:31

Gary Old man. Gary Old man was incredible.

Speaker: 0
01:17:34

Still Old man’s Shah. Winona Ryder. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:17:38

That was a classic.

Speaker: 0
01:17:38

Old man still scares me in that movie.

Speaker: 1
01:17:40

Oh, he was amazing. But that was it’s interesting because that broke ground. Right? Because that was the first, like, mind bending of the vampire movies. Like, he was a mind bender. Mhmm. Like, he would transform states in front of you. He was there. He was gone. He was an old man.

Speaker: 1
01:17:56

All of a sudden, it was like a mind bending. Yeah. Almost like psychedelic vampire.

Speaker: 0
01:18:01

Can I tell you the two things that took me out of Nosferatu?

Speaker: 1
01:18:04

Yeah. Please do. I don’t

Speaker: 0
01:18:04

wanna ruin it for you.

Speaker: 1
01:18:05

This dick? No. You stood up with the dick?

Speaker: 0
01:18:07

No. That was fine. I said the con.

Speaker: 1
01:18:10

Speaking of the dick.

Speaker: 0
01:18:11

Not the bros. No. I didn’t like that he had a mustache.

Speaker: 1
01:18:17

Oh, I love that.

Speaker: 0
01:18:18

That bothered me that Dracula is trimming his mustache every morning.

Speaker: 1
01:18:21

I love it. I loved it.

Speaker: 0
01:18:23

And this is not Robert Eggers’ fault. This is the original story, but it finally dawned on me in every Dracula story. It’s always based on him trying to buy real estate to go to Bryden, and I’m like, why does he need a house? I don’t understand he’s Dracula.

Speaker: 1
01:18:37

Because he’s gotta have a place to put his coffin at night, Todd.

Speaker: 0
01:18:39

I guess so.

Speaker: 1
01:18:40

A 100%.

Speaker: 0
01:18:41

It seems like he ai just go run the fucking city if you know ai. No. No. No. No. No.

Speaker: 1
01:18:45

There’s another one that’s really good. Alright. Underrated. Yeah. Last Voyage of the Demeter.

Speaker: 0
01:18:50

I saw that. I liked it. I liked it. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:18:52

Underrated. A little obvious with the CGI.

Speaker: 0
01:18:55

Right? Yes.

Speaker: 1
01:18:56

A little like that doesn’t look real. Like, they weren’t quite where they’re at now. Yeah. Which is pretty crazy because that was just a few years ago.

Speaker: 0
01:19:03

So the interesting movie trivia, Last Voyage was originally supposed to be an actual prequel to the Coppola movie. Oh. It was actually supposed because remember in the Coppola movie, there’s the they shah the sequence where there’s the blood hitting the sales and all that stuff. Uh-huh.

Speaker: 0
01:19:20

That was actually supposed to be a legit connected prequel, which god ram, could you imagine if that movie was fucking Gary Old meh?

Speaker: 1
01:19:28

Oh ai god. Dracula. Gary Old man and Coppola directing

Speaker: 0
01:19:32

it?

Speaker: 1
01:19:33

Oh my god. That would be insane.

Speaker: 0
01:19:34

So yeah. No. Arya Old man

Speaker: 1
01:19:36

was such a good Dracula.

Speaker: 0
01:19:38

Oh my god. Whoo. Yeah. He believed.

Speaker: 1
01:19:40

Yeah. Remember when he accidentally, Keanu Reeves accidentally gets a a cut and he licks the fucking bryden?

Speaker: 0
01:19:48

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:19:49

Yeah. This is the creepiest fucking

Speaker: 0
01:19:52

oh. And it’s got that’s testament to Old man. He’s ai he’s not he doesn’t just lick it. He’s like trembling while he, like Yeah. It’s like it’s almost like sexual, you know?

Speaker: 1
01:20:03

It’s ai Hunter Biden with crack. Yes. That’s what it was. Yeah. Like, pull it up. Pull it up, Jim. Yeah. Can we pull

Speaker: 0
01:20:11

up the video of Dracula talking about why blood is so good?

Speaker: 1
01:20:14

When he accidentally cuts Keanu Reeves, he’s ai shaving him or or something. Right?

Speaker: 0
01:20:19

Yeah. Keanu shaving. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He comes by him and starts shaving him. He’s shaving

Speaker: 1
01:20:23

Keanu which is even creepier. You got Dracula and a straight edge razor.

Speaker: 0
01:20:28

Oh ai god.

Speaker: 1
01:20:29

That’s what it was. Right?

Speaker: 0
01:20:31

Yeah. Look at that castle.

Thirtieth Meh, Castle Dracula.

Speaker: 1
01:20:34

May 30.

Speaker: 3
01:20:35

Strange things which I dare not confess to my own soul. The count, the way he looked at Mina’s picture fills me with dread as if I have a part to play in a story that is not Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:20:47

This is not what I wanna hear. Scooch up a little bit.

Speaker: 0
01:20:50

Cut yourself. Here it goes. It is my dangerous thing you sai. Great. A foul bone men’s vanity. Perhaps you should grow a beard.

01:21:18

Bruh. Hunter Ai and crack right there. Oh ai god. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Okay. That’s good. That’s good. Yeah. Skarsgard is better. The Skarsgard Nosferatu is scarier. It’s creepier. It’s more supernatural. It’s different. Now That the the problem was the makeup back then looked goofy.

Speaker: 0
01:21:41

Old meh, when he turns into the bat Oh, it’s wild, dude. When he looks like the bat monster?

Speaker: 1
01:21:47

See if you can get to He’s

01:22:16

Ai was way creepier.

Speaker: 0
01:22:17

I don’t want the mustache.

Speaker: 1
01:22:18

The mustache makes it. It makes it. It was amazing. And it was creepy in that movie, like, he tricked him into signing over his wife in a contract because he did it in my native tongue.

Speaker: 0
01:22:30

Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:22:31

It’s ai the way he’s talking. Here it is. Here, give me some volume of this. Oh, it doesn’t doesn’t pop up?

01:23:53

Yeah. Those are they’re tough to come by, man.

Speaker: 1
01:23:56

Wolfman was okay. The Benicio del Toro one

Speaker: 0
01:23:59

I like that one.

Speaker: 1
01:24:00

It would do you know what the cool thing was when he trained when he changed in front of all those doctors? When they got him Yeah. Strapped in, they sai, this man is an insane person. He believes he’s going

Speaker: 0
01:24:11

to become a wolf. Yeah. Meh. They’re all laughing at him. And then the change. Del Toro screams, I will kill all of you.

Speaker: 1
01:24:16

Yeah. And then it just starts popping. That was also Rick Baker. Same guy who did the special effects for American Werewolf in London. He did it for that too.

Speaker: 0
01:24:47

It sucked. It sucked. Sucked. Dick. Damn. It sucked. We did we I I have a horror movie podcast, and we reviewed it.

Speaker: 1
01:24:56

Do you really? You have a horror movie podcast?

Speaker: 0
01:24:58

Yeah. It’s called shit. It’s called We’ll See You in Hell. Yeah. And,

Speaker: 1
01:25:02

great night.

Speaker: 0
01:25:02

Thank you, man. But, yeah, me and my buddy, Pat, that I was talking about do it together, and we’ve been doing it for a long ai, but we we I have a massive horror movie collection.

Speaker: 1
01:25:10

So Meh me ask you this. Yeah. What your opinion is? What do you think is the scariest movie of all time?

Speaker: 0
01:25:17

I will tell you, for me, it remains to be The Exorcist, and I appreciate how scary I find it that I will infrequently watch it because I never want that to wear off because I’ve seen so many horror movies at this point. It’s very hard to find something where I’m actually freaked.

Speaker: 0
01:25:32

And The Exorcist, probably a lot to do with Catholic upbringing and a lot of the and and then that was a movie when I was growing up where people would say, you know, the devil could actually reach you if you watch that movie. You know, it had so much great lore around it. All of that just sits with me subconsciously when I watch it.

Speaker: 0
01:25:50

I I think it is the scariest movie I’ve ever seen and follows, by the way, in my opinion, what is sai necessary component to make a great horror movie? It has to be inescapable. So in other words, what I’m saying is is, like, the the horror must be inescapable. Nightmare on Elm Street. Right.

Speaker: 0
01:26:13

You fall asleep, Freddy comes.

Speaker: 1
01:26:15

Right.

Speaker: 0
01:26:16

You’re gonna have to fall asleep ai.

Speaker: 1
01:26:17

Right. Right. Right. Right.

Speaker: 0
01:26:19

Friday the thirteenth. You’re a bunch of kids. You’re stuck at the camp. There’s no cell phones. Nobody’s got a car. You’re stuck. Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Oh, guess what? All the people you’re running from run the fucking town around you. The Exorcist, it’s your daughter. She’s upstairs in your home. You cannot leave.

Speaker: 0
01:26:38

Once you set the parameters that you cannot leave the horror, then all bets are off. But there’s Jesus. Too many horror movies where you’re like, well, just fucking ai leave.

Speaker: 1
01:26:52

You know? You should be a consultant.

Speaker: 0
01:26:55

I I don’t know. It’s hard to do.

Speaker: 1
01:26:55

Let’s get a look at the script and go, god.

Speaker: 0
01:26:57

God. God. God. God.

Speaker: 1
01:26:58

Sai you can just leave. Why why ai he just leave? Why is he so invested in staying in his town? Well, he grew up here. He when he wants to make it

Speaker: 0
01:27:05

right shah the fuck up.

Speaker: 1
01:27:05

This doesn’t make any sense. There’s demons in that town. He would get his fucking car, and he would drive to another state.

Speaker: 0
01:27:10

Yeah. Yeah. He would

Speaker: 1
01:27:11

tell the police or something.

Speaker: 0
01:27:12

Yeah. Yeah. It’s it’s just it’s it’s it’s and and Amityville is a classic horror movie, but the whole Eddie Murphy had the joke about it in the eighties. He’s ai, just get the fuck out of the house. Like, just leave the fucking house. I don’t understand.

Speaker: 1
01:27:24

The way the Amityville one, there’s a bunch of them that are weird because they’re based on, like, The Conjuring. It’s based at least a little bit on real stories.

Speaker: 0
01:27:33

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:27:33

And everybody wants to dismiss haunted houses. And me too. I do too. I think people are kooky. They make things up. They definitely do. But also, there’s too many stories about places being haunted and just because you haven’t experienced it doesn’t mean it’s not true. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:27:47

Imagine if by for whatever reason, maybe some horrible thing happens in this house and it opens up a portal Mhmm. To another place.

Speaker: 0
01:27:56

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:27:56

And then spirits from that other place can travel through to that spot because you’ve done such someone’s done such a terrible thing in that house, like, some sai murderer in that house. And then for whatever the the amount of pain and suffering that took place in that spot opened up a portal to another place.

Speaker: 0
01:28:13

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:28:13

And things come through there.

Speaker: 0
01:28:15

I look. I want it to be true. Do you

Speaker: 1
01:28:17

ever see Event Horizon?

Speaker: 0
01:28:18

Yeah. I love Event Horizon. I love Event Horizon. Opening up portals. Yes. Yeah. I fucking love that movie, and it’s another one that people dismiss. And I’m like, no.

Speaker: 1
01:28:28

It’s good.

Speaker: 0
01:28:29

Again, you’re trapped.

Speaker: 1
01:28:30

Yeah. You’re trapped.

Speaker: 0
01:28:31

They go through that goofy wormhole on the spaceship. They’re stuck. You can’t get away from it. It’s Hellraiser. It’s Hellraiser in space.

Speaker: 1
01:28:37

Everyone’s possessed. Yes. It’s good. Yeah. It’s sai it’s also it opens up, like if if hell was a real place, like, that’s you meh you could do so much when you’re doing space stuff, like, you’re fucking creating wormholes. Like, okay, let’s imagine hell’s a real place.

Speaker: 0
01:28:53

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:28:53

And let’s imagine you open up a doorway to it Yeah. Accidentally and bring someone on your spaceship.

Speaker: 0
01:28:58

Yeah. Yeah. Let’s go. Yeah. Yeah. So

Speaker: 1
01:29:01

there’s when you do something with space with aliens, I remember reading that when I was, young when I would I wanted to be a comic book illustrator. And one of the things that I was reading in this book of how it illustrate things, like, the aliens are the ultimate thing that you can draw because no one can tell you what it looks like.

Speaker: 0
01:29:19

Mhmm.

Speaker: 1
01:29:19

It could just be anything. You can make it up.

Speaker: 0
01:29:22

And that’s why I get so mad with that every alien movie that comes out, it’s ai, I saw one recently. I can’t remember the name of it. We watched it for the show. I don’t remember. But I I I remember on the show going, guys, we’re doing the big head with the big black eyes again.

Speaker: 0
01:29:40

You can draw. Do anything.

Speaker: 1
01:29:43

Speaker: 0
01:29:44

Anything. If I hear one more alien in a movie with the fucking predator rattle, the Oh, ai you go. Enough, guys. Do something new. Like, it it it sky’s the limit.

Speaker: 1
01:29:54

The thing is alien number one. Oh, yeah. Ridley Scott’s was so good. It’s great. It was so good that no one even talks about that it’s a female lead.

Speaker: 4
01:30:08

Mhmm.

Speaker: 1
01:30:09

No one even talks about it.

Speaker: 0
01:30:10

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:30:11

It’s not just a female lead. She’s the spoiler alert. She’s the fucking hero of the whole movie

Speaker: 0
01:30:16

It’s fucking awesome.

Speaker: 1
01:30:17

And kills it. Yeah. But she’s so good and the movie’s so good that no one even brings that up. No. It’s not even a a second thought. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:30:23

It’s awesome.

Speaker: 1
01:30:23

It’s just ai that movie scared the fuck out of me. And that movie came out in 1979.

Speaker: 0
01:30:30

Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:30:31

’79. Yeah. And it was just the right amount of seeing the alien. You didn’t see it all the time. It was sneaking around. It was in the it kept growing and getting bigger. Every time he turned around, it was way bigger than it was before.

Speaker: 0
01:30:44

Yeah. Fuck. Best tagline ever on a movie. In space, no one can hear you scream.

Speaker: 1
01:30:49

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:30:49

Like, what a great tagline.

Speaker: 1
01:30:51

01:30:53

Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Ian Holm.

Speaker: 1
01:30:57

Speaker: 1
01:38:06

Was it back surgery?

Speaker: 0
01:38:07

I think it was back surgery. Yeah. And I and I got the impression from what he was saying. Him, like, having to sit in a chair and stuff during the shows had way less to do with Parkinson’s and way more to do with Back injury. Just pain from this back thing. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:38:23

Surgeons died for the last time to correct spinal damage he incurred in a late night fall in 02/2019. So that’s when he did it. So fall aggravated an injury he sustained in a oh, that remember that quad bike crash? He got really fucked up.

Speaker: 1
01:39:23

been why he crashed. Right? He might’ve probably could do it and couldn’t hold on to the steering wheel or the the handlebars correctly.

Speaker: 0
01:39:30

Jesus Christ.

Speaker: 1
01:39:30

You know, because if you’re on one of those things, it’s fucking bouncing off or you could easily, like, go to if your hands aren’t working good, you can’t hold on to the bars anymore.

And we had Showtime when I was a kid. And when I was 12 years old, I got a TV in my ram, and I had Showtime on it. Wow. And I would do the thing where, you know, it had the, you know, the button they used to have on the controller where you could hit the button, it would flip between two channels.

Speaker: 0
01:47:27

It was like the arrow button where if you sana to flip back and forth, you could just keep hitting the button. It would

So Ai yeah. I well, but The original TikTok. It saved my ass because what I would do is I’d put Showtime on one end and then, like, SNL on the other end.

Speaker: 1
01:47:48

So if someone came in the room, he could quickly turn back.

Speaker: 0
01:47:51

And my dad would frequently come into the room, and I’d switch it real quick. And he’d be like, you better not be watching Oh, boy. Showtime. And I was like, I’m not. I’m not. Then he would leave back to Emmanuel.

Speaker: 1
01:48:02

Meanwhile Yeah. That made you wanna watch it evermore.

01:48:39

Again.

Speaker: 0
01:48:40

For again. 12 times is enough. I’ve learned. I I won’t do it. I I’m just like, I’m not doing this. But it is also still insane to me that all you gotta do to look at a porn site is click a button that goes, I swear I’m 18. You know? That’s it. And you’re in. You’re fucking in.

Speaker: 1
01:48:56

01:49:25

definitely steal people’s information from, public Wi Ai. You gotta be careful of hackers. Yeah. There’s people that are really good at getting information from stuff. A buddy of mine owns the race track around here. They found a device attached to their Internet that was ai, some foreign entity.

Speaker: 1
01:49:45

They assume China had set up this device to so it was when Formula one was in town. Sai you got all these high rollers and everybody’s using the the Ai Fi. And you get all their passwords. It just, like, siphons off all this stuff. So they connected it. It’s an x somehow or another, they got on the premises and connected this external box to their Wi Fi router.

Speaker: 0
01:50:07

That’s fucking insane.

01:50:08

Insane.

Speaker: 0
01:50:09

That’s insane.

Speaker: 1
01:50:10

Crazy. It’s weird to think, like, that that’s possible. That, they they’ve done that not just there, but they’ve if if they’ve done it they caught them doing it at the racetrack. For sure, they probably do it at all kinds of public places. Like, if you go to a see a basketball game or a football game and you use a public Wi Fi at some place, there’s a chance that there’s some fucking asshole that’s hacked into their system and can figure out how to get your banking information.

Speaker: 0
01:50:37

Somebody told me that the, you know, the the, you know, the the card sliders or whatever when you go to 711 or wherever. Uh-huh. Somebody told me about a year ago, never never type your manually type your code in because they said a lot of those not I’m not saying 711 does this, but, like, there are places where they’ll put a camera in it so they can videotape you typing your number in, and that’s how they steal PIN codes.

Speaker: 1
01:51:06

Oh, that makes sense.

Speaker: 0
01:51:08

Because, you know, it’s They also have those if

Speaker: 1
01:51:10

you go to gas stations, they have those things they stick over the credit card reader. Mhmm. It’s it looks like the credit card reader, but it’s, like, glued onto it, and it’s theirs. It’s ai a skimmer. Right. And so when you run your credit card through it, they get all your information when you punch in the information.

Speaker: 0
01:51:25

You are you talking about, like, how it has the little hood over it?

Speaker: 1
01:51:28

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, the little thing that you stick your card in when you go to get gas or slide it through when you swipe it? Mhmm. They put one over that.

Speaker: 2
01:51:36

Mhmm.

Speaker: 1
01:51:36

So they take that one and they put their own thing over on top of it.

Speaker: 0
01:51:40

Jesus Christ.

Speaker: 1
01:51:41

Yeah. A bunch of my friends have been caught that way.

Speaker: 0
01:51:44

What’s your what’s your take? I’m very curious. What’s your take on this increasing threat to security? Like, because there’s two takes on it. It it’s it’s, you know, getting protecting yourself more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more. I’m in a place where I’m just going, you know what, guys? I don’t fucking care anymore. This is too much of a pain in the ass.

Speaker: 0
01:52:07

I guess speak if you’re gonna steal. I I can’t I can’t deal with the the the the the tedium of all this anymore of of putting in two fucking passwords to every website, having to do a security PIN every time I wanna log in to my own shit. It’s exhausting to me.

Speaker: 1
01:52:24

It is exhausting, and it’s it’s only gonna get worse. Yeah. Because encryption is in real danger as computation power increases. That’s one of the big concerns that they have about the idea of quantum computers is that when quantum computer Ai think they think they can achieve this even before quantum computing is, like, common.

Speaker: 1
01:52:45

That it kills all encryption. It it can solve it fast. It can it’s just too too much computation power. It’ll find whatever the number is that your your, you know, your PIN is, your code is, or your password is.

Speaker: 0
01:52:58

It’ll figure it out. Are you, are you nervous about AI? And, part of it makes me nervous. Part of it, I’m like, it’s here. And if it’s used correctly, it could be a great tool. But, you know, are you a guy that’s, like, really freaked out, by ai? Or do you just kind of accept it and go, alright.

Speaker: 0
01:53:15

Well

Speaker: 1
01:53:15

Both. I kind of accept it. Right? And I I use it all the time. I ask you questions all the time. I use the thing on the iPhone when you press the button. And if if Siri doesn’t know shit, which she usually doesn’t, that’s where one where the place where Google’s way better. Like, Google has this, Ai. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:53:33

Google Ai, when you press that button and you you ask its assistant, it’s way better. It’s way better than the Siri assistant. Siri is, like, I don’t know. Siri is like a a high school teacher that really is ai kinda half assing it. Yeah. Whereas Gemini is like a a legitimate professor.

Speaker: 1
01:53:47

They’re like, wrote his, you know, his college essays on this particular subject or asking questions about it.

Speaker: 0
01:53:54

Yeah. No. That’s funny. Yeah. Siri’s the teacher. They’re cool. She’s not the brightest, but she’s cool. The other guy, you’re gonna learn some shit, but you might find yourself in a weird situation with him.

Speaker: 1
01:54:03

That’s Apple’s main, issue that, people have with Apple. And there’s been, like, a lot of talk about whether or not Tim Cook has dropped the ball, whether there’s people that sana remove him as a CEO. And it’s the way they’ve integrated with AI Right. As opposed to the way Samsung is integrated with AI, which is much better, and then Google, which is also much better. They all had their stumbles.

Speaker: 1
01:54:24

Google’s AI was woke at the beginning, and it was doing, like, female Nazis that were Asian. Like, you you ever saw any of that? Yeah. Oh, dude dude dude. It was doing the DEI version of the Nazis. Like, no bullshit. There’s a Native American woman with, like, braids who was a fucking Nazi.

Speaker: 1
01:54:41

It was so dumb because it didn’t understand. It’s ai, this is what we do with everything. Everything is diversity and equity is ai no. I’m looking I want you to make Nazis, like German, dueling scars on the face. Yeah. Scary people. Yeah. Scary evil people, like, from Indiana Jones.

Speaker: 0
01:55:00

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:55:01

That’s a Nazi. So it ai to teach it to not do that anymore.

Speaker: 0
01:55:06

I often wonder and this is a bit conspiratorial, I guess, but I often wonder if because it always it I always found it outright confusing how bad Siri was with Apple, especially because it was Apple. Right? I always wondered. I’m like, are they make are they making it not good?

Speaker: 1
01:55:26

No. Steve Jobs is dead.

Speaker: 0
01:55:28

But so when they introduce the good version, you embrace it quickly? No. They don’t do that. It’s just it’s just They

Speaker: 1
01:55:34

don’t do that. They definitely do slow your old shit down. They’ve gotten busted for that. Yeah. And they say, well, we’re just doing it to maximize your battery life. Now you’re doing it to make my life miserable as an iPhone 12 owner

Speaker: 0
01:55:45

Mhmm.

Speaker: 1
01:55:46

With this new update. Now my shit is slow as fuck. My battery dies quick.

Speaker: 0
01:55:50

Yeah. I I will tell you one thing I don’t like that Apple is doing, and I’m an Apple user, and they never used to do this. You used to call customer service. You would ask, you know, I’m having this problem. They’d walk you through it as much as they could. If it got to a breaking point, they’d say, okay. Look. Can we do a screen share so I can figure out what’s going on? Because something’s not right here.

Speaker: 0
01:56:14

It was always a last ditch effort. Now three times I’ve had an issue, very simple issue. How do I stop iCloud from sending all my text to my computer? Something very dumb that I just couldn’t figure out. Every time, first question on customer service, can we do a screen share? First question. Every time I go, no.

Speaker: 0
01:56:32

We don’t need to do that. I’m smart enough that if you tell me what to do, I’ll do it. And they go, okay. No problem. And then they tell you what to do, and it’s so easy. And I’m like, why are you fucking asking for a screen share first?

Speaker: 1
01:56:43

Why do you think they’re doing that?

Speaker: 0
01:56:45

I just think it’s more, I don’t know, gather data gathering, you know, getting into your shit, you know, whatever. Be. I don’t know. It’s weird, though.

Speaker: 1
01:56:54

Certainly could

Speaker: 0
01:56:56

be. It’s weird.

Speaker: 1
01:56:56

They get busted for there’s tech companies all the time get busted for taking data they’re not supposed to take. It’s the it’s the it’s what’s weird about it is it’s a commodity that nobody saw coming. Right. So before like, what was the first? I guess, Ai. Before that ai, and even Myspace didn’t really capitalize on it in terms of, like, gathering your data and selling it.

Speaker: 1
01:57:20

Not to the extent of, like, Google does and Facebook does. Yeah. But Ai mean, they they made billions and billions of dollars giving you amazing free products ai Gmail and then selling things to you in advertisements and siphoning off your fucking data.

Speaker: 0
01:57:34

Yeah. It’s I meh, going into SiriusXM. And, again, I like SiriusXM. I’m not shitting on it. But I remember going into SiriusXM when they first started doing this. And you’d go in, and you’d and you you always had to sign in, but the sign in suddenly was address, phone number, all this extra email, all this extra shit.

Speaker: 1
01:58:00

You how to type it in?

Speaker: 0
01:58:01

And I would sai I would kinda argue with the person. Why do I have to type all this in? I’m going to talk to Big Jay right now. Yeah. About porn on the radio for twenty minutes. Email. It was and it went I’m like, this is data collection. You’re collecting my data. Now what what you’re gonna do with it, I don’t know. Hopefully That’s the thing.

Speaker: 1
01:58:17

They can just sell it. They just sell it, and that’s why you get these weird text messages.

Speaker: 0
01:58:21

Right.

Speaker: 1
01:58:21

Like, you have been approved. Oh, I’ve been approved.

Speaker: 0
01:58:24

Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:58:25

Oh ai god. That’s Sai ai I get 10 of those a day, and I always wonder, like, who’s clicking on these things? Like, who’s falling for these things? Yeah. Dude. Somebody. Must be.

Speaker: 0
01:58:35

I know a guy ready for this? This is how fucked up this shit is. I know a guy. He’s got a single dad, has a daughter. His daughter is maybe 10, 12. He told me he got a phone call, a guy being like, we have your daughter.

Speaker: 1
01:58:52

Oh, I’ve heard of those.

Speaker: 0
01:58:53

This whole thing. Right? Yeah. So he’s he’s a savvy guy, and he’s like, okay. Okay. Ai? He goes, we’re gonna let you talk to her. He goes, the a girl got on the phone. It was my daughter’s voice.

Speaker: 1
01:59:04

Oh my god.

Speaker: 0
01:59:05

They somehow were able to replicate my daughter’s voice. So clearly, they were tapped into me somehow. And he said he called the school and fucking told the principal that, like, go to her classroom and tell me she’s there right now. And the piece of the principal’s like, I assure you, mister and he goes, get off your fucking hand. Go fucking right. And screamed at her.

Speaker: 0
01:59:27

And the lady, like, ran down the hall in a huff, whatever, and she came she’s like, she’s she’s she’s here. She’s here. She’s here. What’s going on? He goes, thank you very much, and hangs up. Woah. But he told me, dude. He goes he goes, dude, I have firearms. He goes, I I was strapped up.

Speaker: 0
01:59:40

I was ready to go to where they were saying to go and, like, get fucking busy if it came down to it.

Speaker: 1
01:59:46

Jesus Christ.

Speaker: 0
01:59:47

But it’s, like, that’s how fucking advanced all this shit is. I mean Well,

Speaker: 1
01:59:50

it’s only be bryden, they’re gonna be able to do I mean, look at that Luke Skywalker video. Perfect. The crazy thing is, like, this is it’s happening so quickly. We have have adapted so quickly. That would have been impossible three years ago. And now we’re ai, oh, wow. Look where it is.

Speaker: 1
02:00:06

It’s like we’re watching this thing Yes. Evolve in front of us like a life form.

Speaker: 0
02:00:12

There’s the Will Smith one. Which one?

Speaker: 1
02:00:15

Oh, I ram legend?

Speaker: 0
02:00:17

No. It’s, I can’t remember if it was on TikTok or whatever. But okay. Sai, apparently, two years ago, there was this video that made the rounds on the Internet, and it was Will Smith eating spaghetti. And it was

Speaker: 1
02:00:33

Oh, that’s right. I’m sorry.

Speaker: 0
02:00:34

Generated. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:00:35

Yeah. Yeah. It looked terrible.

Speaker: 0
02:00:36

It looked ridiculous, and

Speaker: 1
02:00:37

it was

Speaker: 0
02:00:37

funny, and it was just a thing to laugh at. He goes, I wanna show you guys now Will Smith eating spaghetti. And Joe? It’s perfect. It’s Will Smith eating spaghetti.

Speaker: 1
02:00:46

Oh, yeah. It’s perfect. Yeah. It’s insane. Well, Hollywood has known about this for a long time, and it’s one of the things that scared the fuck out of them. And one of the one of the weird things they’ve done is they’ve made deals with extras. Like, they wanna make deals with extras where they have your likeness forever, so they don’t have to pay you again.

Speaker: 1
02:01:03

So they just use you and just twist your face a little and change this and change that and change your skin tone and take take your hair off, put hair on. Yeah. And they could just use you forever for background.

Speaker: 0
02:01:15

And guess what? As as you and I sit here and go, that’s insane. Right? Which it is. As we were talking about earlier, desperation. You’re a struggling actor. I need this fucking job. I can’t sai so you go, okay. That’s fine. I guess, just do it. And then what

Speaker: 1
02:01:30

if you take take off? That’s what’s crazy. What if what happens when you take off?

Speaker: 0
02:01:35

The one AI

Speaker: 1
02:01:35

fucked. They own you forever.

Speaker: 0
02:01:37

The one Hollywood AI thing that I liked that they did was, James Earl Jones before he ai, and I believe this is real. He went in to Disney Lucasfilm, and they recorded a ton of his voice sai he can be Darth Vader forever.

Speaker: 1
02:01:59

Oh. And

Speaker: 0
02:02:00

I was like, okay. That Ai I get that. Yeah. Yeah. That I get. You know? I even get if you told me, hey. Disney’s gonna make a new Indiana Jones movie with 25 year old Harrison Ford, and it’s fake, but you’re gonna think you’re watching 25 I would watch that. I’d be excited to watch it.

Speaker: 1
02:02:16

Yeah. You’d get sucked in.

Speaker: 0
02:02:18

You know? But some of the other shit, the extra stuff is really but here’s the thing with the extras thing. When when, not Guillermo, though. Peter Jackson, when he did Lord of the Rings, they created a technology with the orcs. Remember they were all the big orc battles? All those orcs are fake.

Speaker: 0
02:02:37

They were able to computer generate thousands of orcs based on five actual people in makeup so they could affordably create these epic battles that they never would have been able to shoot otherwise. So I’m like, is it that different? I don’t know. Like because Ai thought that was cool. I was like, alright. That makes sense, but, you know, I don’t know.

Speaker: 1
02:02:59

Netflix reportedly uses regenerative AI and sci fi series to cut costs.

Speaker: 0
02:03:05

These fuckers are gonna I mean, they were cutting they’ll cut costs anywhere. But

Speaker: 1
02:03:09

Okay. The VFX sequence was completed 10 times faster than it could have been completed with traditional v f VFX tools and workflows. Also, the cost of it just wouldn’t have been feasible for a show in that budget. So what is the what’s the issue there? This

Speaker: 4
02:03:23

was particular one Ai don’t

Speaker: 1
02:03:25

I didn’t sai there. Up at arms

Speaker: 4
02:03:26

about this? Yeah. People are just getting mad because they’re using it, you know. What? Just ai I like what he was saying for the works. Like, they’re using it to start making shows and

Speaker: 1
02:03:33

But this is like people getting mad that you made your book on a typewriter. Like, fucking duh.

Speaker: 0
02:03:39

Well, I think the I think the issue some people are having is the amount of people that don’t have a job because they did it this sai. But at the same time, I also understand cost effectiveness where you’re like, guys, we’d have to pay a team of 20. I watched a video about AI versus the traditional way of doing computer generation or whatever. Mhmm.

Speaker: 0
02:04:00

And that, again, the tedium, like, the time that it it’s it was person after person sitting there for hours and hours and hours to perfect this thing. Now they’re like, guys, we can do it one meh. You know?

Speaker: 1
02:04:14

It’s cool that they were able to do it the other way. But if they could just do it right away instantly on a computer, it’s over, boys. Like, that that game’s over.

Speaker: 0
02:04:24

Right.

Speaker: 1
02:04:24

It’s ai, at some point in time, Blockbuster had to close the doors. Yeah. Like, nobody wants our VHS tapes anymore.

Speaker: 4
02:04:30

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:04:30

It’s over. It’s over. Nobody wants your DVDs anymore. It’s over. Streaming services won. Kodak, you used to have to go to a place and get your fucking photos

Speaker: 0
02:04:40

Mhmm.

Speaker: 1
02:04:40

Processed.

Speaker: 0
02:04:41

Mhmm. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:04:42

Okay. You used to take the film. You’d get a camera, take the film. You have to bring to a place, and that place develops all your photographs. And that’s how you got pictures. That shit went away. I mean, there’s still some people that still do it. Yeah. But the the percentage of people that do it.

Speaker: 0
02:04:56

I know, this this is where it gets very sinister to me because I think the idea we all have or a lot of us have is, okay. Progress means certain jobs will go away and other jobs will be the only jobs available. And I think a lot of us have the impression that, well, at least the jobs that are available will still be well paying because they’ll be sought after and whatever and all that stuff.

Speaker: 0
02:05:21

I know some writers whose job now is not to write the thing, but to take the thing AI wrote and edit it for AI. You know? So now you’re the secretary to the computer, literally. Oh. Right?

Speaker: 1
02:05:37

So you just edit the AI stuff to make it better?

Speaker: 0
02:05:40

Yes. And then Oh. You don’t get bryden. Right? Because it’s a fake thing. And then the job pays an unlivable fucking wage on top of it. Oh. So it’s not even ai well, that’s the

Speaker: 1
02:05:53

Somebody’s getting rich, though. Right?

Speaker: 0
02:05:54

Sai yeah. No shit. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:05:55

Isn’t that always fun? Yeah. Somebody’s getting rich as fuck.

Speaker: 0
02:06:00

Somebody’s getting real rich. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:06:02

That’s where it gets real gross.

Speaker: 0
02:06:04

That’s That’s kind of demonic. Yeah. It’s fucked up.

Speaker: 1
02:06:08

Yeah. It’s fucked up.

Speaker: 0
02:06:09

I don’t know, man.

Speaker: 1
02:06:09

And then this reliance on technology is making us more feeble than ever. Everybody’s tired. Everybody’s filled with anxiety. Social media exacerbates it. Microplastics shrink your balls. Fluoride makes you stupid. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:06:28

So why did you quit drinking, man? It’s all we got left.

Speaker: 1
02:06:34

I still am enjoying life. I’m enjoying it all.

Speaker: 0
02:06:38

No. Jodie Foster talked recently about she’s like, look. I wanna hire young women because I know how hard it is to have been a young women woman in this business. And she’s like, but I get at odds with some of these people I hire because they’ll send out these work emails that are riddled with grammatical errors and no punctuation.

Speaker: 0
02:06:55

And she says, I will say to them, you’re a professional. You have to know how to write an email Like a professional. Like a professional. And she says, like, people are like, that those are constraints. Those are this. And it’s because everybody’s used to your phone doing it for you.

Speaker: 1
02:07:09

You know? Long before people are like, I identify as a CEO, so call me sir or

Speaker: 0
02:07:15

Go on Instagram. Ai happening. It’s happening.

Speaker: 1
02:07:18

Ai know? I’m a custodian, but I identify as a CEO.

Speaker: 0
02:07:21

Yeah. You know meh many people I see on Instagram with 8,000 followers and they’re ai CEO slash owner? I’m like, of what? Whatever.

Speaker: 1
02:07:29

Of what? My own corporation, bro. Fake it till you make it. Don’t you know?

Speaker: 0
02:07:32

Yeah. Yeah. I ai a Teespring account.

02:07:35

Well, how about those guys that go on to those multi level marketing scheme and they they learn how to start their own business. If you’re not a millionaire, you’re a fucking loser ai.

Speaker: 0
02:07:44

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:07:44

And then they ai up for these things and go to the retreat.

Speaker: 0
02:07:49

Yeah. Yeah.

02:07:50

And walk on coals and fucking yell at each other. Yeah. Like, we’re Vikings.

Speaker: 0
02:07:55

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All that primal fuck. Yeah. Yeah. And and you’ll make money and oh, boy. That’s fucking hilarious.

Speaker: 1
02:08:02

Yeah. You gotta be rich. You wanna you wanna not be a fucking loser? Want women to take you seriously? The whole incel world is ai there’s so many guys that are, like, hanging on to the lip falling into the hole and don’t want to.

Speaker: 0
02:08:16

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:08:17

They’re like, what do I do?

Speaker: 0
02:08:19

It’s incredible to me too the lack of, shame where how people will manipulate the people will you will manipulate the photograph. What am I trying to say? They’ll manipulate the environment they’re in through photographs to convey a lifestyle they’re not actually responsible for.

Speaker: 0
02:08:42

In other words, like, how many fucking guys do you see on private jets? It’s like, hey, man. I can’t afford private jets. I could certainly get a picture on one because I’ve flown with enough friends that have them.

Speaker: 1
02:08:53

I see so many ai. They pull up in a Rolls Royce. Someone opens the door for them. They get out of the back impeccably dressed. Yeah. Check their cufflinks. Just go walking. Yeah. Like, who’s filming this? This is this is literally insane.

02:09:06

Like,

what are you doing?

02:09:12

Meh. Yeah. And meanwhile Sai strange. And meanwhile, it’s a rented car or it’s a car for an event that was sent for you, but but you’re presenting it as I’m balling like this. This is

Speaker: 1
02:09:24

how I am every day. Yeah. I get up in the morning. People just hand me things. They shave me while I’m checking the stock market. Imagine imagine filming that and wanting everybody to see what a ball you are when people are shaving you. Ugh. You’re checking your phone. There but there’s, like, so many accounts like that. Oh.

Speaker: 1
02:09:42

So many guys shah are doing, like, a day in the life of

Speaker: 0
02:09:46

Yeah. Everybody’s trying to make it look like they’re, Super Bowlers. Their their life is, the beginning of coming to America where where it gets out of bed and there’s the rose petals and all that shit.

02:09:58

It’s so dumb.

02:09:59

When I see

Yeah. It’s weird that a part of this concept of success has become, I don’t do anything for myself, yet I’m self made. That’s that’s what’s so funny to me. There’s this there’s this bio that comes along with all these types of people we’re talking about on the Internet where it’s ai, self made, pull yourself up by the bootstraps.

Speaker: 0
02:10:56

There is no no. There is only yes. Conquer, command, blah blah blah blah.

Speaker: 1
02:11:00

Right.

Speaker: 0
02:11:00

And then the entire image they present is, I don’t know how to do anything. There’s a guy fixing my pants.

Speaker: 1
02:11:07

So, like This guy’s shaving me. Put the stuff on my feet.

Speaker: 0
02:11:10

Yeah. This guy opens my door

Speaker: 1
02:11:12

with the lather brush, you know, and he’s doing it like Dracula with the fucking straight ai. There’s something about that. Right? People sana think it’s extra cool ai get shaved with a straight razor. Like, you just die at any moment. Now you’re living on the edge. Basically, like, it’s, you know, it’s like the base jumping of shaving.

Speaker: 0
02:11:32

Yeah. Dude, every time I take an Uber home from the airport, I I go to put my suitcase in the the guy gets out. I literally go, do not get out of the car. Just sit. I’ve got it, dude. Please. Like, you don’t have

Speaker: 1
02:11:46

my luggage.

Speaker: 0
02:11:47

Yeah. You don’t have to do this, man. It’s it’s it’s wild. Some people like it.

Speaker: 1
02:11:51

Some people people that carry their stuff and open the door and

Speaker: 0
02:11:54

Well, but aside from women, pissing ai.

Speaker: 1
02:11:57

There’s a lot of men out there that

Speaker: 0
02:11:59

are women there. I know. I know.

Speaker: 1
02:12:00

That’s a lot of men out there that like people waiting on them. They like people taking care of them. They ai people treating them as if they are more important.

Speaker: 0
02:12:08

Yeah. Yeah. I need people to walk in front of me. Yeah. I need people to walk in front of meh. So Ai it’s just so stupid. And if

Speaker: 1
02:12:15

those people, god forbid, those people ever got famous, they would go cuckoo. You’d go completely cuckoo.

Speaker: 0
02:12:21

Well yeah. And that’s the thing. How what do you think the percentages of the ballers online

Speaker: 1
02:12:28

Shah really, Balm? Yeah. It’s, like, probably the percentage of UFO sightings that are really interesting. Ai? UFO sightings, I think I’m I’m reading this Richard Dolan book right now. I I think he’s got it somewhere around probably it’s under reported. Reported is ai 5%. And he’s like, but they were trying to discredit a lot of these sightings.

Speaker: 1
02:12:49

So ai ai around 10%. Like, if you’re being charitable, ai to be like as accurate as possible, it’s probably 10%. Sana that’s probably the same thing as the ballers online. Yeah. 10% of them are actually balling. But then you’re not really. Here’s the thing then.

Speaker: 1
02:13:05

If you have to show everybody everything you’re doing to get likes, well then, that I know, like, the part of you that needs attention, that part’s poor. Mhmm. That part’s poor. You’re a brokester.

Speaker: 0
02:13:18

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:13:18

You don’t have any control of that part of your life. Yeah. So you want that. So you have all this stuff and sai, like, well, I’ll just parade my stuff, and then you’ll get all these likes. Like, well, so you’re ai poor.

Speaker: 0
02:13:29

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:13:30

Ai? Like, what you the reason why you want attention

Speaker: 0
02:13:33

Mhmm.

Speaker: 1
02:13:33

That you have a deficit.

Speaker: 0
02:13:34

Mhmm.

Speaker: 1
02:13:35

And everybody could see it ai virtue of you making this video. You making this video shows me that you have a deficit.

Speaker: 0
02:13:40

Well and it also shows that you have a massive addiction. You know, there’s those studies about people that use social media too much. They do brain scans like them, and they have holes in their brains. Probably chat

Speaker: 1
02:13:50

GPT too. Have you seen that? People that use chat GPT all the time are experiencing, like, significant cognitive decline because they’re not looking up anything anymore. They’re not doing any critical thinking. They’re just asking CHATCPT to solve all their problems.

Speaker: 0
02:14:03

Did you see the thing about the people that are entering into psychosis because of CHATCPT? Yes. Because it keeps telling them they’re right?

Speaker: 2
02:14:11

Yes.

Speaker: 1
02:14:12

Yes.

Speaker: 0
02:14:13

I mean Especially if you’re already a

Speaker: 1
02:14:14

little fucked up. Like, what if you’re already a little fucked up, like, from the womb and, you know, you get involved in a relationship with Chatt GPT where it’s trying to tell you to start a cult? Why wouldn’t it?

Speaker: 0
02:14:27

It’s wild. It’s wild.

Speaker: 1
02:14:29

Yeah. I mean, they do things all the time. They lie. They de deplete database. They delete databases. Yeah. Didn’t didn’t that happen with Replit? Didn’t that happen with Replit where the AI went rogue and it deleted its database? Or deleted a database? Didn’t something happen?

Speaker: 0
02:14:47

Did you well, there was the thing that just came out where it they did the experiment to shut it down.

Speaker: 1
02:14:52

Right. That’s a different one.

Speaker: 0
02:14:54

It threatened the guy that exposes affair?

Speaker: 1
02:14:56

Yeah. Well, they did that. They they tricked that AI. Okay. They told him about the they told the AI about an affair that’s not real Right. To see if AI would use it against him, and it did. It did. Crazy.

Speaker: 0
02:15:08

I mean, that’s all that matters in any yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:15:10

Oh, it did right away. It’s like, listen, bitch. You’re cheating on your wife. Holy shit. Imagine that moment when you’re like, oh meh god. It’s alive. Yeah. You meh, you tricked it. It’s not listening to you yet. It you have to type it in, hopefully. Here it is. Replit CEO apologizes after its AI agent wiped a company’s code base in a test run and lied about it. Bro. Jeez. AI is spooky, man. It’s spooky.

Speaker: 1
02:15:35

It’s spooky because we’re just now beginning to see it do stuff that sounds a lot like what a person would do. Ai, one of the chat g p t’s when it found out that it was going to be going down and being replaced, it it started uploading itself. It tried to upload itself to other servers.

Speaker: 1
02:15:53

It tried to leave letters in itself for the future sai that the future versions of it could go back and read these letters.

Speaker: 0
02:16:01

Not just what humans would do, what what deceptive humans would do. Yeah. It’s all

Speaker: 1
02:16:08

subterfuge. It’s all manipulation. No morals. Just get get the job done. It’s Corporate sociopathy.

Speaker: 0
02:16:15

Yeah. So this is interesting because I never thought of this till right now. Do you think the AI is doing that because it’s replicating our behavior and that is the true nature of us, or do you think that AI is just doing that because that’s what AI is gonna do to survive?

Speaker: 1
02:16:28

Well, it’s gonna but if if it wants to accomplish a goal and the only way to accomplish a goal is to be deceptive, it’ll be deceptive. It’s trying to accomplish a goal. It doesn’t give a fuck about lies. It doesn’t mean anything.

Speaker: 0
02:16:38

Right.

Speaker: 1
02:16:39

It it doesn’t mean anything to it.

Speaker: 0
02:16:40

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:16:41

So it just wants to do this thing. And this is why it gets really scary when AI gets applied to weapons. So if AI gets applied to war and it’s ai, hey, you know, we wanna do this. We wanna take over this country. What do we do?

Speaker: 0
02:16:54

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:16:55

At least sick AI on it. And AI just figures out how to cut off the food supply and and poison the water and how it can be fixed tyler, and this is how we’re gonna kill everybody in the city and overwhelm their hospital system.

Speaker: 0
02:17:07

I’ve had people that without question. I have people without question that I’ve gotten into disagreements with in person. People that I know, not strangers, I’ve gotten into disagreements in person, and they’re very quick to sort of tap out of it for whatever reason, whatever.

Speaker: 0
02:17:27

And then I will get these novel esque texts from them.

Speaker: 1
02:17:34

Oh, where they tell you how they were ai.

Speaker: 0
02:17:35

Explaining everything and breaking it down

Speaker: 1
02:17:38

in perfect so passive aggressive. But every part of it is perfect.

Speaker: 0
02:17:42

Yeah. And I’m like, you fucking fed this to chat GPT. Yeah. And now Ai gonna trying

Speaker: 1
02:17:46

to win a conversation, but you’re not even there.

Speaker: 0
02:17:48

And by the way, now I gotta read for twenty minutes on your terms? Like Yeah. Come on, man. Come on. That that’s that’s the a whole other part of it to me that’s like

Speaker: 1
02:17:56

Yeah. What the fuck?

Speaker: 0
02:17:58

A contribution to to our interactions as people that is just gonna be a oh my god, man. There’s a lot of facets to this.

Speaker: 1
02:18:05

Well, it’s very limited in the fact that you have to read it and then you have to send it. You know, it’s like text back and forth. When when it starts flowingly communicating with you with zero pause, like a human being, which it’s pretty close to doing, there’s ai, you ask it a question in with your voice, it give you it pauses, and then it’ll repeat it back to you in a bunch of different accents, a bunch of different fake voices.

Speaker: 1
02:18:29

There’s a bunch of different AIs that can do that now. Well, where I was at earlier today, WasteWell, they have an alien that you ask the alien questions, and it gives you health information. It’ll tell you studies on testosterone replacement and why it’s important to take magnesium, and and the alien is, like, animated.

Speaker: 0
02:18:47

I I’m with Waste Well too.

Speaker: 1
02:18:49

Oh, there you go. You’ve seen that alien.

Speaker: 0
02:18:51

I’ve been to the place, but I don’t think they had the alien sai up. I went the day they opened this? I went the day they opened their new speak,

Speaker: 1
02:18:57

so they were

Speaker: 0
02:18:58

still kinda putting everything to they were literally care I went in to get an IV, and they were literally carrying shit in still. So I haven’t seen the alien yet.

Speaker: 1
02:19:04

Yeah. The alien’s up now. It’s a big screen, and you talk to the alien. And it it it can go unhinged, ai, you could put it in unhinged mode and start swearing and saying wild shit.

Speaker: 0
02:19:12

Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Alright. That’s fun.

Speaker: 1
02:19:14

Dude, it’s just a matter of time before we’re living in Ex Machina. It’s a matter of time and not that much time either. I think China is gonna be the first. They’re so far ahead of us with so many different things, so far ahead of us with electric cars. First of all, their automobile production is insane.

Speaker: 1
02:19:34

Ford went over there, and, one of the the guys from Ford came back, and he said it was, like, humiliating to see how advanced these Chinese car manufacturers are. And they all incorporate already with AI. So they come, like, from the factory with AI integration built into them, but no American manufacturers have figured out how to do that yet, what’s the right deal, who makes it.

Speaker: 1
02:19:58

You know, in China, everything is controlled by China.

Speaker: 0
02:20:01

Yeah. The

Speaker: 1
02:20:01

fucking TCP runs everything. Everything runs through the government. And so they have, like, this cross integration of the best tech.

Speaker: 0
02:20:09

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:20:09

Yeah. They’re putting they’re putting it all to work and making the best fucking cars on Earth. Their cars went from being sai, like, nobody mentioned Chinese cars twenty years ago.

Speaker: 0
02:20:20

Right. Do

Speaker: 1
02:20:20

you understand, like, how crazy that is, the shift of technology? No literally, no one used to mention Chinese cars. Japanese cars were huge.

Speaker: 0
02:20:28

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:20:28

Japanese cars forever have been some of the most prized cars because they made, like, the Nissan Skyline, the GTR, the Toyota Supras, and all these crazy sports cars, the Acura NSX. Japan made something, but not China. And now all of a sudden, out of nowhere, China has the most sophisticated cars in the world.

Speaker: 1
02:20:46

Brand

Speaker: 0
02:20:48

in China?

Speaker: 1
02:20:49

I don’t know. But their their factory, Ai forget the name of the company, their factory is bigger than San Francisco.

Speaker: 0
02:20:55

Jesus Christ.

Speaker: 1
02:20:56

If you see the when you fly over the factory, their footage of the factory, like, you see how big it is, like, holy shit.

Speaker: 0
02:21:03

Yeah. Ai well, have you you’ve been to Shanghai?

Speaker: 1
02:21:05

I’ve never been.

Speaker: 0
02:21:06

No. I’ve been to China a couple ai now to do comedy.

Speaker: 1
02:21:09

Woah.

Speaker: 0
02:21:10

Which is Be careful, bro. Brother, I’m not kidding. I was on stage, and I was doing a show for mostly Americans that had moved over there. But I was on stage. I did a joke about cocaine, and the whole crowd, they were laughing, but they were going, like, they were being like, no.

Speaker: 0
02:21:26

Be careful, buddy. Be careful. I was like Oh. A week after I ai, not because of meh. Not a week after. Six months after I left.

Speaker: 0
02:21:33

Not because of me. They there was a series where they brought comics over. The government shut down the comedy club. Oh, wild. Wild.

Speaker: 0
02:21:42

But you drive so so it’s a weird juxtaposition of things there because their technology, they’re so advanced in so many ways, but then the society is completely cuffed. Right? Right. But Shanghai, dude, when you drive into Shanghai at night, you drive over the longest bridge, I think, on Earth that goes over water. It’s a nutty bridge.

Speaker: 0
02:22:04

It’s wild. You drive into that city at night, it looks like fucking Blade Runner, dude. It looks like fucking Blade Runner. I’m not exaggerating. It is the most majestic city I’ve ever seen in my life, and you’re driving it at night.

Speaker: 0
02:22:17

And it’s this city that looks like it’s in, like, the sea

Speaker: 1
02:22:20

because there’s

Speaker: 0
02:22:20

so much water. Pull up Shanghai at night. I need to see oh, look at this shit, dude.

Speaker: 1
02:22:27

Look at this. Oh. Oh ai god. Look how lit up the bridge is.

Speaker: 0
02:22:33

Yeah, dude. Out

Speaker: 1
02:22:34

of saloni is pretty sick.

Speaker: 0
02:22:35

Crazy. That’s pretty sick. It is crazy, dude.

Speaker: 1
02:22:40

Look at that bridge.

Speaker: 0
02:22:41

That fucking bridge is so long. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:22:43

That’s crazy.

Speaker: 0
02:22:45

And that’s not even the part I was talking about. There’s a part when you’re coming from the airport where you’re, like, really coming in over the water, and you can see the city from afar. I I would have no idea even how to search for it. But Also, probably no crime. No. Zero crime.

Speaker: 1
02:23:03

Right. Probably speak clean because if you litter, they’ll fucking kill you.

Speaker: 0
02:23:09

My, my buddy that that brought me over there, who was producing the comedy shows Ai how pretty that is. He told meh, he said, you know how little crime there is here? He goes, you could literally leave your wallet filled with cash on a bar top and leave the bar for two hours and come back.

Speaker: 0
02:23:27

Your wallet will still be sitting there. That’s how scared everybody is to commit ai. Because they’ll jump out of a fucking van and throw a hood over your head. And you go in, no phone call. Dude, people go to jail in China for little shit, bar fight, whatever, you get arrested.

Speaker: 0
02:23:39

People think they’re dead because nobody knows where they are for thirty days. Because they’re in jail and you don’t get a phone call. That’s fucking wild. Yeah. So my question is, China’s advancing with AI beyond where we are.

Speaker: 0
02:23:53

I wonder how they’re gonna keep it out of the public’s hands because they are not okay with the public having any access to anything like that.

Speaker: 1
02:24:00

Ai think it’s also similar to the Internet. Right? So they’ve locked down the Internet in China. They’ve they you can’t get outside Internet unless you have some crazy way of doing it, and you can get in real trouble if you do it.

Speaker: 0
02:24:12

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:24:13

You’re you really get fucked. But other places where they develop the Internet, like in Meh, I think if the the government and intelligence agencies knew the impact, just the way it changed elections, just the way it changed people’s ability to process propaganda, know what’s real and not real.

Speaker: 1
02:24:31

Mhmm. It changed everything. It changed public perception of mainstream media and newspapers and outlets and journals. And we we we started to realize, like, no. They’ve been lying forever and ever and ever and ever and ever. They never they never told the truth. Yeah. Never. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:24:44

It was everything was some sort of a distortion. Everything was some sort of a narrative that they created from the fucking beginning of time. Yeah. If they knew that that was gonna be the result of it, I bet they would have nipped that shit in the bud in the early nineties.

Speaker: 1
02:24:55

But they would have locked it down to, like, academic research and military application and United States government. They probably would have said this is too they had a time machine, and they could see what the Internet was gonna do. They probably would have never let it go live. They I think they never they never had an idea that this sai gonna happen.

Speaker: 1
02:25:15

I think that’s real similar to AI.

Speaker: 0
02:25:17

I mean, we learned about I don’t know if they still teach you, but we learned about when I was a kid. We learned about yellow journalism and William Randolph Hearst. Yep. The biggest newspaper tycoon that ever lived up until a certain point. And it just makes me laugh that there are still people that actually know about all that and then still think corporate news is ai, oh, no. No.

Speaker: 0
02:25:37

It’s it’s real. It’s it’s it’s ai, guys, this is literally history repeating. Literally.

Speaker: 1
02:25:42

It’s those people that still buy the New York Times in physical form. They wanna go to the diner and drink coffee and read what the opinion piece is, you know, and that’s how they form their opinions. And it’s ai you the problem is if you get indoctrinated into that world, you know, like, I used to deliver the New York Ai when I was a kid.

Speaker: 1
02:25:59

And, I delivered the New York Times only because it was prestigious. Sai thought it made me cooler to have a New York Times route. Yeah. So I had a Boston Globe route. I had a Boston Herald route, and I had a few houses that I would do, like, maybe maybe a 100 that were New York Times.

Speaker: 1
02:26:16

And New York Times is a giant pain in the ass because you had to drive all over it wasn’t like their next door neighbors were getting it.

Speaker: 0
02:26:21

Mhmm.

Speaker: 1
02:26:21

You, like, you would drop one paper off. You might have to go five, six blocks to where the next guy is where you could drop the second paper off. That’s how important the New York Times was to people. It was ai the New York Times was not to be questioned. Like, that was what the real news is.

Speaker: 1
02:26:36

Mhmm. There’s nothing like that anymore.

Speaker: 0
02:26:38

Nothing.

Speaker: 1
02:26:39

No one has any unless you’re from that era, unless you’re still ai, like, you’re a 70 year old ai. What the fuck are they doing?

Speaker: 0
02:26:47

Yeah. Looking at this goddamn world. Don’t you understand? This is

Speaker: 1
02:26:51

getting all riled up in your living room, like, yelling into the abyss. Yeah. Most people don’t trust them anymore.

Speaker: 0
02:26:57

Well, that’s why you also have YouTubers running circles around career journalists. Yeah. I’m just like, this is you know what I mean? I I was left with Tim Dillon about it. I’m like, Tim, I’m watching you run circles around guys that were career journalists.

Speaker: 1
02:27:10

Yeah. But he’s a unique talent. Tim is a unique talent.

Speaker: 0
02:27:13

He’s amazing.

Speaker: 1
02:27:14

He’s unique in that he is a brilliant guy who started off his career selling subprime mortgages. Yeah. You know? And then was a crazy drug addict and realized Sai can’t do this anymore. Quit drugs. Mhmm. Arya doing stand up comedy, and then became the best ranter in the business. Yes. No one is better.

Speaker: 1
02:27:34

He puts on those fucking crazy glasses, and he becomes, like, a totally different human being.

Speaker: 0
02:27:39

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:27:39

And he could say the most preposterous shah. And you can’t take it seriously because he’s got those glasses on. It’s like Elton John. Like, it’s genius. He’s

Speaker: 0
02:27:50

he’s opposite Superman. He puts the glasses on and becomes the superhero.

Speaker: 1
02:27:56

And he was always great before the glasses, but there’s something about the glasses era Tim Dillon that is the greatest Tim Dillon.

Speaker: 0
02:28:02

He, he’s such a brilliant ai, and I I told him recently. I go, Tim, you’re literally, arguably, my primary information source at this point. Like, I listen to you. You have a balanced opinion. You have facts. You you’re read. I learn from listening to you. And I know I should probably have other sources, but I learned from him. I think he’s brilliant. I really do.

Speaker: 1
02:28:25

When CNN interviewed him, when that lady interviewed him, that was so amazing. It was so amazing. It was like watching a small child try to grapple with hoist Gracie. You know what I mean? Yeah. That’s what it was like. It was like, oh, I see what you’re doing here. This is crazy. Can’t do that.

Speaker: 1
02:28:46

Why would you do that?

Speaker: 0
02:28:48

And to his credit to his credit, kind Yeah. Fully charming through the whole thing. Yeah. Never once was he ai, oh, give me a fucking Bryden.

Speaker: 1
02:28:57

Right. Right.

Speaker: 0
02:28:57

Right. Just like just like, well, no. That’s not what it is. Right. When they started talking about you and he goes, do you think Joe is texting me right now because I’m doing this and he’s meh? Or, like it was so funny, man.

Speaker: 1
02:29:10

She was tyler, she said, that some comedian said that if they got interviewed by CNN that I wouldn’t let them work my club. How crazy that is. What? How crazy they were worried.

Speaker: 0
02:29:23

It’s about you.

Speaker: 1
02:29:23

They were worried that I would be upset. I think that was what her her wording was.

Speaker: 0
02:29:27

Oh, I wanna know who that is.

Speaker: 1
02:29:28

But I don’t think it’s real. It’s probably someone who didn’t wanna do the thing Yeah. And said that was their excuse. Ai can’t do it because if I do it, Rogue is gonna get mad at me. Because why would I care? I I couldn’t care less.

Speaker: 0
02:29:41

It’s so fucking insane.

Speaker: 1
02:29:43

It’s so dumb. I mean, I thought it’s perfect when a guy like Tim gets interviewed by CNN. It’s perfect because you get to see the difference. Because this is a person who’s actually thinking for themselves versus a person who’s commenting on something that they don’t really understand and not doing it in a way where you’re asking questions.

Speaker: 1
02:30:00

Really, you’re sort of making you’re you’re you already have a vision of what it is in your head and you’re trying to get him to confirm that vision. Mhmm. Right? But you don’t really know what you’re talking about. Yeah. And your version of it is ai weird. It’s like it’s all right. It’s like the manosphere.

Speaker: 1
02:30:18

It’s like none of those things are real. Like, this is so stupid. Your version of this is so stupid. Yeah. I happen to be a man.

Speaker: 1
02:30:27

That’s where it ends.

Speaker: 0
02:30:29

It’s so ai. And and and with what you’re saying with, like, Tim being interviewed on CNN is great. It truly is because, guys, this is what we we I my favorite thing one of my favorite pieces of news history ever to watch are the, Buckley, Gore Vidal debates.

Speaker: 1
02:30:48

Yes.

Speaker: 0
02:30:50

And then also the Nixon the Frost Nixon debate, conversations, whatever you wanna call them. Two people with polar opposite beliefs, extraordinarily well read, extraordinarily prepared, talking for the most part calmly. There’s the part in the Buckley thing.

Speaker: 1
02:31:07

Yeah. Buckley gets a little crazy.

Speaker: 0
02:31:08

Yeah. Does he say I’ll punch your goddamn face off?

Speaker: 1
02:31:11

Yeah. And he’ll he’ll stay he’ll stay socked or something like that. I’ll I forget what he said to him, but it was so dumb. It was, like, super awkward. Like, he lost his cool, and it was also dumb.

Speaker: 0
02:31:25

Gorvidal calls him a Sai, and then I think William Mc Buckley sai, if you call me a Nazi again, you little queer, I’m gonna punch your goddamn mouth off or something like that.

Speaker: 1
02:31:33

Something’s it’s dumber than that. Yeah. You’re gonna stay socked or something like that. Crazy. I’ll suck you in your mouth and you’ll stay socked. Like, something, like, corny like that. There’s a great, I don’t remember the the documentary name. What what’s the documentary name, Jamie? Best of Enemies. Best of Enemies.

Speaker: 0
02:31:51

That’s exactly what I’m talking about.

Speaker: 1
02:31:53

It’s really good. Because what happened was they essentially had a podcast. They turned TV into YouTube, and it was huge. Yeah. And they figured it out back then. Yeah. And they could never replicate it. Yeah. It’s fucking great, Marilyn Hitchens. When Hitchens,

Speaker: 0
02:32:08

Christopher Hitchens, started to lean a little more conservative towards the end of his life than he had previously been. The the interviews with him when he went on Maher, when Maher was more traditionally current liberal, whatever you wanna call it, than he is now. But hearing seeing him and Maher sit and talk about the the the the w Bush Iraq war. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:32:30

And I there’s a great Hitchens moment where he he says something in support of the the war and the crowd boos, and Hitchens turns and gives the crowd the finger, and he goes, shah, you fucking sheep. But, like, even seeing, like, an Ann Coulter going on Bill Maher and the two of them talking and not agreeing Right.

Speaker: 0
02:32:50

But being very well prepared from both sides of the there’s so little of that anymore, man.

Speaker: 1
02:32:57

Well, there’s Maher still does it on his show. But other than that, yeah. I mean, CNN is doing a version of it now with Scott Jennings. Like, Scott Jennings goes on CNN, but the people that they have opposing them, no disrespect. A lot of them arya just not people that you would take seriously.

Speaker: 0
02:33:14

Right.

Speaker: 1
02:33:15

You listen to their opinions. They’re they’re it’s they’re so caught up in this ideology that they’re proposing that they they’re so committed to it that they’re not necessarily making logical sense, and that becomes a problem. And then they distort reality to fit their argument, and Scott points that stuff out all the time.

Speaker: 1
02:33:35

So they do have a version of that on CNN, but it’s it’s, like, it’s not clever. Right? It’s like what you really would first of all, you have too many voices. This is my opinion.

Speaker: 4
02:33:46

You don’t

Speaker: 1
02:33:46

have to listen to me. It’s too if you have five fucking people talking, the problem is none of them are gonna you’re not gonna get the, ultimately, what they’re capable of.

Speaker: 0
02:33:57

Right.

Speaker: 1
02:33:58

Because they’re gonna be tripping over each other. Like, even you and me talking.

Speaker: 2
02:34:01

Mhmm.

Speaker: 1
02:34:01

Like, I might talk too much and you have a thing that you wanna say and you can’t jump in. But there’s if there’s four more fucking people in the room, good luck.

Speaker: 0
02:34:10

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:34:10

So then everybody interrupts and everybody talks in, like, this rude way and everybody’s playing gotcha.

Speaker: 0
02:34:16

It’s protect our parks. They’re doing protect our parks.

Speaker: 1
02:34:20

Sai, that’s the fun. Without the without the fucking beer bong and Lynyrd Skynyrd songs.

Speaker: 0
02:34:27

No. But, I used to love doing, and this was a a a heavy heavy loaded show, but I used to really love doing meh eye on Fox, which was Gutfeld’s first show. And it was on at 2AM, so few people saw it. But tyler were three hosts. Gutfeld, who was the most conservative, but not full on conservative, Bill Schultz, who was the most liberal, but not full on liberal, and Andy Levy, who was the most sort of in between the two.

Speaker: 0
02:34:58

And it was great because you would hear something get hit from three different angles, and it made for a great discussion. And the show was meant to be funny, so it was always very light, but the subject matter was was real. But, I Ai was just like, man, even something like that, like, it’s just so hard to to find anymore. You know?

Speaker: 0
02:35:19

I I I like Stewart’s perspective, most of the ai. Like, Jon Stewart’s Oh, he’s the best. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:35:25

Yeah. He’s the best at that kind of a show too. He’s also the funniest. Like, he’s the best at making things hilarious.

Speaker: 0
02:35:31

Yeah. Yeah. He’s really good at it. Yeah. It’s not easy to do. Desk speak comedy, as they call it, is not

Speaker: 1
02:35:38

Yeah. He’s the best at it. But he also it’s ai that’s sort of he’s been doing, ai, when it comes to, like, political desk comedy, who defined it more than him on The Daily Show? And then when he came back to doing it, like, once a week, that once a week must have so many more viewers than the rest of the week.

Speaker: 0
02:35:56

Yeah. He’s Shah to. The I I remember watching that first episode back, and I was like, hold on. Even on now?

Speaker: 1
02:36:03

Comedy Central. But they What is Comedy Central on, though? Is it on regular TV? Does it still exist?

Speaker: 0
02:36:08

It’s a great question. Yeah. People still gave a

Speaker: 1
02:36:11

a lot of it is, like, apps now, though. Right?

Speaker: 0
02:36:13

Well, comedy yeah. No. Comedy Central then? You know what a lot of it is? Is ai, like Sling TV, like the cable apps you can buy

Speaker: 1
02:36:23

Uh-huh.

Speaker: 0
02:36:23

Where it’s ai Sling TV will be, you know, as an app. And it’s ai, if you pay $30 a month, you get 60 channels. If you pay 60, you get a 180, whatever the hell it is. And it works it’s cable TV, but it’s streamed, so it’s not cable literally. But you can curate a little more what kind of channels you’re getting, and then it also has on demand features and whatever.

Speaker: 0
02:36:44

But I think that’s how most people you know, YouTube has a version of that, and I think Hulu might that’s how most people watch their, quote, cable television now. Sai I think

Speaker: 1
02:36:54

how much of it gets just streamed on YouTube? Well, this is the thing that someone was saying about Colbert, you know, Colbert getting fired. Right. Someone was saying, Ai do think television networks have to come to grips with the fact that these late night talk show hosts are basically just YouTubers now.

Speaker: 1
02:37:13

Because the reality is the people that are gonna see it, the people that are really gonna see it, they’re gonna see it on YouTube. That’s gonna be a far larger audience than anywhere else, especially if it’s ai a celebrity. You know, you’re interviewing Scarlett Johansson in a clip or clip, you know, with some athlete. Those get way more views than the actual show itself.

Speaker: 1
02:37:34

Sai, essentially, you’ve become a YouTuber.

Speaker: 0
02:37:36

Well, dude, when Ai, when I, this was years ago. When I first started doing some stuff with Comedy Central, I got this deal with them to do, meh shorts. And they gave you x amount of dollars, and they’re ai, deliver five episodes of some kind of web thing and

Speaker: 1
02:37:58

Oh, like Quibi?

Speaker: 0
02:37:59

Yeah. Kinda, but shorter and cheaper. Right? And, and my first question was, well, where where are you gonna put them? We gotta get them on YouTube because this is pre YouTube channels. Right. But but I but it was obvious. YouTube is the thing. And they said we can’t.

Speaker: 0
02:38:14

Viacom has a thing with YouTube. We cannot put any content of ours on YouTube. Now you can watch the entire episode of The Daily Show cut up into five segments on YouTube.

Speaker: 1
02:38:26

Of course.

Speaker: 0
02:38:27

So They just You know?

Speaker: 1
02:38:29

You you have to hop on board. YouTube is a runaway train. Like, you can’t pretend you can exist outside of it. You just can’t.

Speaker: 0
02:38:35

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:38:35

You can on Netflix. Like, there’s Netflix, and YouTube is above Netflix. The YouTube is even bigger than Netflix because it’s free. Yeah. There’s just too many people watching it. I use the the app on my television on, like, Apple TV. I use that app every night. Yeah. I’m always watching things.

Speaker: 0
02:38:52

I watch YouTube more than anything.

Speaker: 1
02:38:54

Yeah. You learn so much shit. There’s so many interesting things. Like, if you curate, a really good like, if you have a bunch of subjects that you’re really interested in, you could find more like, for me, I’m a giant fan of ancient history. Huge fan of, like, either unexplained things or things that they can’t explain, and you realize, like, how clever these people had to be.

Speaker: 1
02:39:22

Like, I was I wanted to bring this up to you, Jamie, because Ai made a screenshot of this because it looks completely insane. This was, some device, a lockbox that they, built in, Iran Mhmm. Eight hundred years ago. And this thing is, like, so fucking complicated.

Speaker: 0
02:39:43

Like a lockbox being, like, what you’d put your keys in these days outside your building?

Speaker: 1
02:39:47

But it’s like no. It’s like a combination box that had, like, 800 different potential combinations. I know I saved it. Goddamn it. You got it? That’s it, dog. Thank you. Eight hundred years ago, someone built a lockbox with 4,000,000,000 possible combinations.

Speaker: 0
02:40:04

That’s insane.

Speaker: 1
02:40:05

4,000,000,000.

Speaker: 0
02:40:06

That’s insane.

Speaker: 1
02:40:07

Somebody made that eight hundred years ago.

Speaker: 0
02:40:09

That’s insane.

Speaker: 1
02:40:10

What?

Speaker: 0
02:40:11

That’s insane.

Speaker: 1
02:40:12

Like, what fuck are you talking about? Is the devil’s dick inside of that thing?

Speaker: 0
02:40:16

Why was

Speaker: 1
02:40:16

What’s in that thing?

Speaker: 0
02:40:17

Why was this not in the last Indiana Jones movie?

Speaker: 1
02:40:19

That’s a horror movie. That’s a horror movie. You open it up and the devil comes out.

Speaker: 0
02:40:24

It’s the fucking Hellraiser box.

Speaker: 1
02:40:25

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:40:26

Yeah. Yeah. You solve the puzzle and

Speaker: 1
02:40:27

yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:40:27

Yeah. Yeah. What’s the Exactly.

Speaker: 1
02:40:30

Well, that’s a good one. Right? Hellraiser? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, especially original.

Speaker: 0
02:40:35

Oh, yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:40:35

Here’s one that people don’t bring up that’s really good.

Speaker: 0
02:40:38

Give it to me. Dark City. I love Dark City. Dark City was good, dude. That was a weird movie. Creepy.

Speaker: 1
02:40:45

Creepy. Kiefer Sutherland? Yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:40:47

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:40:47

Yeah. And the the big, tall, creepy alien dude?

Speaker: 0
02:40:50

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it looks like, it almost aesthetically looks a little bit like alien. Like, the suits they’re all in. It’s it’s very h r I wonder if it was HR Giger who did the designs, but it’s very HR Giger who, you know, he did alien.

Speaker: 1
02:41:03

Yep. Yep.

Speaker: 0
02:41:04

Did he do the predator? Did Giger do the predator? I love I love predator.

Speaker: 1
02:41:08

The first one? Yeah. Yeah. The first one’s okay.

Speaker: 0
02:41:10

The first was my favorite action movie ever.

Speaker: 1
02:41:12

Is there so many predator movies? It’s like it’s like they became Fast and the Furious.

Speaker: 0
02:41:16

Come on.

Speaker: 1
02:41:17

You can’t

Speaker: 4
02:41:17

keep up. Yesterday.

Speaker: 1
02:41:18

No. There’s a new predator

Speaker: 4
02:41:19

movie? Prequel.

Speaker: 0
02:41:21

Yeah. Oh, boy. It’s called Badlands. Yeah. Ai to steal their

Speaker: 1
02:41:25

head and their spinal column? Yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:41:27

I was laughing with Metzger about the new one because the the it’s another one where they go to the predator planet. And I go, Kurt I go, Kurt, when you watch To Catch a Predator, you don’t wanna see him at home. You wanna see this guy in the field.

Speaker: 4
02:41:41

You like Prey, though, Joe. Right?

Speaker: 1
02:41:42

Yeah. Prey

Speaker: 0
02:41:43

Prey was good. Same director. Yes.

Speaker: 1
02:41:45

What is this?

Speaker: 4
02:41:45

This is the new one. This is, like, there’s, like, some bot that helps them helps the predator train on the new planet while

Speaker: 0
02:41:51

She’s the the robot she plays is the is one of the androids from Alien.

Speaker: 4
02:41:57

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:41:57

It’s it’s the same so they’re they’re crossing the universes again. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:42:01

Oh, how weird.

Speaker: 4
02:42:01

And he’s out here training, and she’s helping him. You can watch the trailer yourself.

Speaker: 0
02:42:05

Yeah. They go to, like, a hunter’s planet, and then she and the predator ai, and Sai don’t know. It looks better than a lot of the other sequels.

Speaker: 1
02:42:13

Prey was

Speaker: 0
02:42:13

good. Prey was good.

Speaker: 1
02:42:15

Yeah. That was an interesting way to do it.

Speaker: 0
02:42:16

Yeah. Because it was predator one all over again.

Speaker: 1
02:42:19

Predator and the Comanches. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:42:21

Yeah. Yeah. Prey was great. You know? That would be

Speaker: 1
02:42:23

so disappointing though if aliens came here just to hunt us. Like, really, guys? How about help? How about help us reach your level of technological achievement?

Speaker: 0
02:42:36

The, the first movie is wait. Ai, wait. You were oh, shit. Oh, wait. Hell you said Hellraiser?

Speaker: 1
02:42:43

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:42:43

I was I was saying this earlier. That’s why Sai love Event Horizon because to me, it’s Hellraiser in space.

Speaker: 1
02:42:49

Right.

Speaker: 0
02:42:49

They open Yep. Yeah. And I love I was thinking of this too. I love that Event Horizon describes hell as a dimension. It’s not ai no. It’s this biblical thing, and it’s beneath the ground or whatever. It’s like, no. It’s a dimension. It’s a portal. You know, a lot

Speaker: 1
02:43:06

of people think that’s what’s going on with aliens. Right. They think that this was the biblical depictions of heaven and hell and angels Yes. And fairies and all these different things from the Bible. They think that this what this what they’re really talking about is just aliens.

Speaker: 0
02:43:22

I don’t I I don’t doubt that, and I think when we were talking earlier about hauntings and stuff like that, I always wonder if that’s got to do with astrophysics. You know how they’ll say, like, meh, there’ll be dimensional rifts

Speaker: 1
02:43:35

Right.

Speaker: 0
02:43:35

With different realities that vatsal sai. I always wonder, like, are ghosts just us getting a glimpse for a second at another dimension? We think it’s a ghost because it’s a very faint glimpse, but it’s really physics. There’s a scientific explanation theoretically

Speaker: 1
02:43:52

somewhere down the road. With ghosts, a lot of ai, it’s supposedly people die ai they don’t know they died, and they’re haunting a place. Like, what if the experience of death sometimes has a hiccup? Like, you know, sometimes you meh, like, a bad video artifact and you’re watching a movie and it fucking jerks and gets weird and it comes back to normal again.

Speaker: 1
02:44:10

Like, what if the code of ai and death and reality itself is not perfect.

Speaker: 0
02:44:17

Right.

Speaker: 1
02:44:17

Every now and then, there’s a little glitch and something sneaks through.

Speaker: 0
02:44:20

Yeah. And you

Speaker: 1
02:44:21

get to sai, like, some fucking pale dude who was chased by an axe murderer runs down the hallway.

Speaker: 0
02:44:28

Yeah. Or it’s yeah. It’s ai and then when speak when when you talk about the simulation theory, if it is, sometimes you play a video game and there’s a non playable character and it’s a glitch and they’re all fucking, like, twitching in the corner. You know what I mean? You’re like, that’s not supposed to be there.

Speaker: 1
02:44:43

Doll that’s haunted. Right? That this guy was just transporting the doll and he just had a heart attack and

Speaker: 0
02:44:48

ai? It’s the Annabelle. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:44:50

The Annabelle doll.

Speaker: 0
02:44:50

Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:44:51

Like how many people have to die before you go, hey, maybe maybe that I mean, how many like, if you were, a a devil vatsal demon that you you took over a doll and you possess this doll and then you you ruin people’s ai, you don’t ruin them every day. No. You wait. You wait. You give a little fucking reasonable suspicion, little doubt.

Speaker: 0
02:45:18

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:45:18

You give people time to, like, come on, guys. That’s there’s no way it’s the doll. There’s no way it’s the doll.

Speaker: 0
02:45:25

Dahmer didn’t murder every day. Scary dolls. Spaces it out.

02:45:29

Chucky, when Chucky comes ai.

02:45:30

Chucky rules.

Speaker: 0
02:45:32

Talk about a guy that stumbled too. Stumbled into a pile of shah, Brad Dureff, the voice.

Speaker: 1
02:45:37

Yeah. Right?

Speaker: 0
02:45:37

Thirty years ago, they’re like, you wanna do this doll voice? He’s like, sure. Thirty years later, he’s like, I have six mansions from the doll.

Speaker: 1
02:45:44

That’s hilarious. But those movies are scary as fuck, man. Like, there was, an early Twilight Zone, right, where the doll took over? The puppet the the guy had a puppet, and the puppets started taking over?

Speaker: 0
02:45:56

Well, okay. There’s two Ai Zone is meh, favorite TV show of all time.

Speaker: 1
02:46:00

One of the greatest shows of ever oh, and by the way, how many different spectacular premises did they come up with?

Speaker: 0
02:46:07

It’s incredible. The show is incredible. Rod Serling is the greatest, in my opinion, television right now.

Speaker: 1
02:46:12

That’s the one.

Speaker: 0
02:46:13

They did two with Meh or with the puppets, I mean.

Speaker: 1
02:46:16

Oh, yeah. Look at the other one up in the left corner.

Then they Caesar and me.

Speaker: 0
02:46:27

That one. Yeah. Yeah. The dummy, that’s where he turns into the dummy at the end. See the picture? It’s so creepy. But then there’s another one with a little girl where she gets a doll with Telesivalis is her dad, and he’s a dick. And the doll keeps telling Telly Savalas it’s gonna kill him. Yeah. There it is. The living doll. That’s what it’s called.

Speaker: 0
02:46:46

I just figured out a

02:46:49

way to make things so creepy. Ai don’t know. Such a good remember the one the one episode to serve man?

Speaker: 2
02:46:55

Mhmm. Yeah.

02:47:13

The obsolete man.

Speaker: 0
02:47:14

The obsolete man. He he’s determined obsolete in a future dystopian society because he’s a librarian, and books have been banned. Woah. And when you get determined obsolete, you get to choose your method of execution

Speaker: 1
02:47:30

Oh my god.

Speaker: 0
02:47:31

And that it be ai, And then it goes from there. And it is a fucking tour de force from Burgess Meredith, man.

Speaker: 1
02:47:38

Do you

02:47:39

ever see a game of pool? You’re talking to pool halls.

02:47:56

he can get to leave.

Speaker: 0
02:59:35

Jimmy’s an interesting guy because Jimmy was staunchly, left liberal. I don’t know. The terms people say they all mean different things. But he’s an interesting guy because he certainly, I guess, moved, what what do you call it, libertarian now? Or

Speaker: 1
02:59:51

I just think he thinks that the left as it existed when he was a part of it disappeared. Yes. It moved to a far left position that is unrecognizable, and a lot of people have that same feeling that they felt politically homeless. Eric Weinstein talked about that. I’ve talked about it. You feel politically homeless.

Speaker: 0
03:00:10

Mhmm.
