514 - Netanyahu In New York, Nepo Babies, & “The View”

The transcript blends a culinary exploration of Kewpie mayo with a broader cultural and political commentary. Kewpie mayo is introduced as a distinct, rich mayonnaise made only with egg yolks, widely adopted for its deep, buttery flavor and versatility in food. This is contrasted with a detailed analysis of Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the UN General Assembly, where he faces a hostile audience and uses strategic rhetoric—such as calling out moral cowardice and framing military decisions as life-saving—to maintain presence and legitimacy. The segment critiques how such narratives justify controversial actions by claiming that failure would have led to global annihilation. It then shifts to a critical examination of AI’s role in entertainment, spotlighting Sunny Hostin's decision to license her books to AI companies to promote diverse stories, sparking debate over authenticity, exploitation, and the displacement of human creators. The discussion reflects on the broader cultural shifts: the rise of "nepo babies" in entertainment, the commodification of identity, and the increasing dominance of technology in content creation. Ultimately, the narrative questions whether humanity’s creative and moral core is being eroded by convenience, privilege, and automation. It concludes with a call for awareness—encouraging audiences to critically evaluate the media they consume and to value human artistry over algorithmic output. The tone is reflective, satirical, and urgent, emphasizing that while technology offers new tools, it cannot replace the depth and integrity of human experience.

This is Matt Rogers from Lost Culture East, that's with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. This is Bowen Yang from Lost Culture East, that's with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. You know when people try a new food and suddenly it's like, okay, hold on, I got a new favorite food! That's the reaction a lot of people are having when they first try Kewpie mayo. Yeah, it's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it at the grocery store. And this mayo is different. Mm-hmm, most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. Kewpie only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Eggs, sandwiches, fries, burgers. Chefs use it, restaurants use it, people who really care about flavor use it. Put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand. Kewpie, the original Japanese mayonnaise. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon Show, the weekly podcast we've done here for 10 years. Whoa. We thank everyone for listening, of course. And it's a beautiful week because it's the week of the United Nations General Assembly, a time when all of our differences kind of melt away, it feels. And then everyone kind of gets together. All the different countries get together. And they're all unique, and they're all special in their own way. And everybody kind of comes together. To discuss the events. The events, the world, climate, and war, and the global economy. And there's some controversy. But we're like a family. The world is a family, and every family has a couple of nuts. And when you're a big family, like we are, our planet, it's a little messy. It's a little messy out there. And sometimes things boil over. And people get into squabbles. And people get upset with each other. But that doesn't mean we're not a family. We're a global community. And there's room for everyone in this community. And I'm sick of the people who are trying to divide us. We have to bring us together. And I commend Benjamin Netanyahu for coming. And giving a speech. Because even though people have been very mean to him. And they said they're going to arrest him. He shows up with a big motorcade. And I believe he threatened. He said we have special forces everywhere. So if you try anything, we'll try something too. You know, but I respect the fact that he comes. And he gives a speech at the UN General Assembly. Even when he's not. Even when he's not. Even when he's not. Even when people have been so down on him. And they've been, frankly, pretty nasty to Benjamin Netanyahu. And I would like to, yeah, Netanyahu says he has special forces ready if he's detained or arrested. I like that. He's basically saying, listen, we're ready. That's where he's at. He goes, we're ready. If you pull something. If you pull something, we're ready. So here he is. Now, a lot of people walked out before he delivered his speech. And I don't love that. But he's there to deliver a speech. And I don't know what he was, what reaction he was anticipating. I imagine he thought to himself, there's going to, people are going to be angry at us. I imagine that went through his head as he was coming in, flying in on his jet. What is it called? The wings of Zion or the, the lion of the sky or whatever. I don't know. But as he was landing, he probably looked at somebody next to him and said, hey, they're going to be angry with us. Yeah, the wings of Zion. He goes, they might be, they might be rude to us. But we're going to show up and give this speech anyway. And I respect that. And I think. I think the people in Gaza do. I think the people in Gaza respect it, actually. I think the people in Gaza respect. Now, they may have their differences with him. They're intense and rats are eating them and they've been starved and they're, you know, their family members have been vaporized in front of their eyes. They have their differences for sure. We're not going to gloss over that. But I think they respect that he came to New York City. And, and he. He braved the elements. And by the elements, I mean the protesters, Hannah Einbinder, Susan Sarandon, these people there. He said he stared them down. He stared them down. And I think the people in Gaza respect that. I think they have to say, you know, we've had our differences with this man. He burned my mother alive. But that being said. He showed up. He was not intimidated. He showed up and he gave a speech. Now, let's listen to a little bit of this speech because there's so much negativity about this man. And I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. Let's listen to what he's saying. So this is long term friend of the show, friend of the Kushners. You remember Benjamin Netanyahu used to visit the Kusher house, kick Jared to the basement and, and stay in Jared's room. Then Jared married the daughter of the now sitting president. Jared is running around the world making deals, not in an official government capacity, but he's just the negotiator. He's the Ray Donovan fixer type, if you will, running around the Middle East. And he just. He's just bought an island with a nice outfitted subterranean underground nuclear blast area with his lovely wife, the daughter of our current president, Donald Trump. So it's a weird, wacky family with lots of branches. And here is Benjamin Netanyahu talking at the United Nations General Assembly. OK, we're going to take you straight to the. United Nations General Assembly in New York because the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is just going to be the stage. Why is everyone leaving? This is tough to watch. Why won't they at least hear his rationale for the genocide? Why? He probably has a good reason. Oh, my God. Everyone's getting out of there. What's his opener? I wonder what his opener is after everyone's walked out. Now, stop it for a minute. This is a great opportunity for anybody, any performer to realize that you're not always going to perform, you know, in an environment that is hospitable to you. That sometimes. You're going to face a hostile crowd. Maybe they're drunk. Maybe they've maybe the air conditioning in the room is broke. Like the original room of the comedy store hasn't had air conditioning in three weeks. And I don't know where the hell the owners are, but they should they should figure that out. But anyway, you will event you will be in inevitably situations that are hostile to you. So now you have Benjamin Netanyahu getting up to deliver a speech. And then how rude. All these delegates are leaving. And he's got a really now he's got a really look down deep within himself. And find find the performer and just center. Benjamin, focus on the ones that are there. Focus on the handful of people that are still there. Countries where you've personally installed the leaders or have bribed or blackmailed them. Focus on them. Focusing on the countries that you've personally installed. Focus on the countries that you've kind of co-opted through financial means, military, whatever. Focus on the handful of people left. And let's see if he does it because you've got to come out the gate with a good opener. Strong opener. Address what happened. Address it. Move on. These are the rules. Quickly. Don't derail. Quickly address the fact that everybody left because they think you're Hitler. And you just say. Move on. Address it. Own it. Move on. Address it. Own it. Move on. Redirect their attention. You're the star of the show. Let's see if he can do that. Benjamin Netanyahu at the United Nations General Assembly. The whole. I request an order in the hall, please. Come on. Thank you. Mr. President, before I begin, just a quick announcement. Right. If there are any other moral cowards who haven't yet left this hall, please do so now. Thank you very much. Okay, you see what he did? Now, stop it there. You see what he did? He addressed the elephant in the room. He called attention to it. Okay? He then took what could have been a loss and he made it into a win. Right there. If there are any other moral cowards that want to leave the hall, do it now! Like he. So now, what could have been a liability has become a strength. This is so important for anyone out there. Whether you're a genocidal maniac or not, but if you're thinking, about public speaking, how to control a room, this is such an important thing for you to learn. This is why school's not important anymore, because all of the learning is free and it's all the time. That's why you don't need to go to college and take out a bunch of loans to take a public speaking course. You don't need any of that. You can just observe a master in his element, brilliant, brilliantly done. Now, let's. Now, let's. Can we see a little bit of the speech after that? Just. Is there any. Do we have any clip right after that? Okay, he's still got a little left here. Let's. Oh, no, it's not that. It's just a few seconds. I want to see a little bit, because that was a brilliant move by him. If there are any other moral cowards that want to leave this room, they can do so now. And he gets a small applause, again, from the countries where he. They've. They've personally installed the leaders, including our own, by the way, including the United States. And, um. So. And now he's going to give a speech. And he's going to speak, I believe, about his plans for the world. And, um. Let's go back to where. So, everyone's leaving. And let's. Let's take it from here. Mr. That's right. Thank you very much. That's right. Still a tough room. Ladies and gentlemen. Still a tough room. Still a tough room. Fourteen years ago. That's right. I stood on this podium. and I drew a red line. That's right. I vowed to prevent Iran's murderous dictatorship from developing. Stop it there. atomic bombs. So this is another great way to. Everyone's looking at him going, you're a murderous dictator. You may be running a murderous dictatorship. What he has done, watch how he's doing it, smart. He goes, 14 years ago. He's not starting in the present. The present's around the corner. It's a real problem for him. The Haaretz article just came out that he should have done more to stop the attack. His own people are in revolt. You know, people do not like him. He has damaged the U.S.-Israel relationship to a point where it's like in smithereens, on the floor. He's lost the entire world, certainly the Western world. And so he's. Context here is key. So he goes, 14 years ago, like, let's take a time machine back. 14 years ago to when things were good. 14 years ago, I stood up here and I said, Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon. That's what we're talking about today. I like. It's called framing the issue. We're going to talk about job interviews later because young kids keep going on job interviews and not getting them because they don't know how to take control. And they're in there with, like, iced coffees, being, like, you know, talking about whatever and no one cares. You know, trying to, like, you know, trying to talk about what deeply fulfills them on a spiritual level. And their employer's like, hey, man, what? Benjamin Netanyahu is here facing a very hostile crowd. By the way, it's not. Is it harder to be in Gaza now or is it harder to be giving that speech? Think about it. Think about how difficult it is to be standing in front of that room right now and the fact that this man is doing it. And yes, he's got clean clothes and water and private jets and private security and lots of money and tons of people that are funding him and whatever and control of our country and our president, whatever, who cares? Sure, I guess. But no one's asking those people in Gaza to give a speech. Huh? No one's asking them to give a speech. They just have to sit there and die. Take it away. Benjamin Netanyahu. Nuclear weapons aimed at destroying Israel. Nuclear weapons that could threaten the entire world. That's exactly what we did. Now, let me say something that might surprise you. Devastating Iran's nuclear facilities is not enough. It was hard. It was hard. It was very hard to do. Right. But for me, it was one of the easiest decisions I've ever had to make as prime minister. I believe you. Because if we hadn't done it, we'd all be dead. Great. Now, you want to hear. Stop it for a second. This is a great. This is also a great lesson in public speaking. If you have done a good job and you've done a good job and you've done a good job and you've done a good job whether it's an experimental vaccine for a novel coronavirus, okay, or it's sex change operations for young people who are questioning their gender or an incredibly controversial, highly illegal war that you are losing with Iran, you will always make the argument that if you hadn't done it, everyone would be dead. It's the best argument to make. It is like the top argument. If we don't do this, the trans kids will kill themselves. If everyone doesn't get all the vaccine, we're dead without that, okay? If I didn't decimate Iran's ability to make a nuclear weapon, we'd all be dead. We'd all be dead. This is the tried and true methodology of how to stand by a controversial decision that was clearly the wrong decision. The entire world is falling apart. The price of commodities is skyrocketing. Diplomatic relationships are fracturing. Our bases are being blown off the face of the earth. We're incapable of defending longstanding alliances. It's remaking the Middle East. It's remaking our relationships with oil-rich Gulf states that up until now were modernizing and becoming more open. And their societies were becoming more tolerant. And a lot of that was due to the fact that they were modernizing economically and in many other ways. But all of that now has stopped. It has frozen. And the world order that we lived in is disintegrating in front of our eyes. So when you've made a decision like that and those are the results, you just have to go out and go, listen, we'd all be dead had I not done that. We'd be dead. There'd be no speech. I'd be up here as a skeleton. Let's continue. I like the cut of his jib. Benjamin Netanyahu. In defending itself, Israel is also defending many of the countries whose delegates just left this hall. In fact, I want you to know that many of their leaders even thank us privately for taking out Iran's nukes. It's hard to imagine more mind-blowing hypocrisy, but that's exactly what it is. Classic textbook narcissist. I did it for you. We were faced with a threat of annihilation. Yes. On June 5th, 1967, I'm going to start talking like this. Israel was surrounded by, by enemies who openly swore to destroy us. All right, pause this. I'm going to start speaking like this. I'm under the threat of annihilation. What a powerful way to look at the world. I am under the threat of annihilation and everything I do is to prevent being annihilated, no matter how fucked up it seems on its face. No matter what chaos I unleash, it is because I am constantly dealing with the threat of annihilation and you wouldn't understand. In fact, you are also. still dealing with the threat of annihilation. You're too stupid to see it. I have to get rid of the enemies for all of us. These enemies are going to annihilate everybody. I got to get rid of them for everybody. All right, get them out of here. Benjamin Netanyahu, you should watch the whole speech, by the way. How long is it? 40 minutes. 40 minutes of Benjamin Netanyahu, but I think we've heard most of the tenor of it, which is, hey, if I didn't do this, we'd all be dead. So, hey. It's, uh, I just I just hope that, um, you know, I just hope that people can open their heart to this man. That's all. That's my only thought. I think it would be really good to open, uh, you have to open your heart to this man because he is, um, he is a beautiful soul, you know?

Sunny Hostin, who's becoming my favorite person on The View because she's really unhinged. The View needs a few of these women to make it watchable. A few people who are genuinely unhinged and you don't quite know what they're going to do ever. And that's what this is. And I only watch clips of it, but the only reason that The View now is like. It used to be Rosie O'Donnell was fun. She's like, what happened to Building 7 and all that? By the way, yeah, what did happen? She used to say stuff like that and Barbara Walters would stare in like shock and horror. And that's why that show was fun. You know? Like, Rosie O'Donnell would be like. Barbara Walters would say something like, uh, coming up next we've got Mary Steenburgen. And then Rosie O'Donnell would go, well, Bob, it's the first time in history that steel columns were melted by jet fuel. And Barbara would just kind of like roll her eyes and be like, oh, Rosie. Like, and that made it watchable. Here is Sunny Hostin explaining why she has chosen to give her likeness to an AI company. She has licensed herself to AI because she cannot get anything made in Hollywood. Now, by the way, no one can, actually. Most people can. I talk to them all the time. Hollywood's making roughly 50% less stuff than they did when they were doing stuff. And it's because it was a guy, nice kid named Adam Conover who had a show called Adam Ruins Everything on TruTV. He convinced all of these people that they should go on strike because they weren't making enough money. He said, we've got the leverage. We're gonna go in and we're gonna show these executives who we are. And at that time, this was like kind of towards the end of the pandemic. There were a lot of shows in production and a lot of things are being made. But yes, people were unhappy. They were working long hours or whatever the case may be. Now they're not working at all. But Adam Conover and not only him, but he was the front and center guy of this. Telling everyone in Hollywood like, and they were writing on shows that nobody was really watching. He goes, we gotta really get out there and say, you're gonna pay us and we're gonna get residuals and we wanna know who's watching what and we want our power as writers. Now, by the way, all power to you. I'm not a studio exec. I just, from the outside, was going, this will not work the way they think it's gonna work. Didn't have a dog in the fight. Truly. I mean, I want everyone to get paid. I want everyone to be happy. I'm not, you know, but I knew this will never work the way they think it's gonna work. It just isn't what. First of all, they all started protesting outside of these studio lots. The studio people started cutting down the trees so they would get sunburned. She had all of these writers out there getting sunburned and then the screen actors go, went on strike and I'm in the screen actors' guild so I was technically on strike, which whatever. I mean, I'm sitting here. Podcasts were not part of the strike. But whatever. And again, I'm not like saying anything good about David Zaslav. I'm just saying, I could see this from outside going, this is not gonna work. They're not going. So they hammered out this very tenuous agreement and then they just went, we're not even gonna make anything anymore. We're gonna make a few things and we're gonna deal with a small group of people and we are going to. And they had invested heavily in, during the pandemic, all of these studios, streamers and whatnot, had invested heavily in AI programs. And one of the big things with the writer's strike was like, we will not be replaced by AI. And the studios were like, oh, yeah, we weren't even planning on replacing you. But of course they were. But the writers just didn't have the leverage they thought they had. So the studios hammered out this kind of agreement. Now, most people privately will tell you the strike was a mistake. Most writers in the town and actors and people that make a living will tell you privately, will go, this was a mistake. Does it mean that the studios are good people or the executives are like, you know, their hearts are full of, you know, their beacons of truth and light and justice. It means that you didn't have the leverage you thought you did. And in fact, the situation for them at this point is worse now than it was. So Sunny Hostin is very upset because she writes romance novels. Like, get up the titles of some of Sunny Hostin's books. She writes romance novels and they're kind of like drugstore slop. Some are in the bluffs. Some are on the bluffs. Set in Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard, the first novel follows a wealthy woman hosting a three goddaughters for life-changing summer. Summer on Sag Harbor. Summer on Highland Beach. So she's writing drugstore slop novels and hosting The View. Now, by the way, not hating on that at all. Get your money, write that slop. She is upset that they have not made Summer on the Bluffs into a film. She is really upset about this. So Sunny Hostin, who I imagine was all for the writer's strike, and is all for every cause that elevates the marginalized and everything. And by the way, maybe I'm talking out of turn. Maybe she was big with the executive. I can't imagine that. She was probably very supportive of the WGA strike. This would be my guess. Which was all about AI. So Sunny Hostin is now coming on The View to explain to everyone why she has personally she's she personally is selling all of her content to an AI company so that AI can make it. And because she wants people of color to get more opportunities, not actual people of color, but AI people of color. I want you to listen to Sunny Hostin here. It's very interesting. And this is why identity politics is like super important for the people that run everything. because this explanation that she gives is so insane and brilliant. It's so insane and brilliant. I can't not like her. This is the thing about a lot of these people. Just the same way I felt about, I feel about all these people. You know, whether it's a Meghan Markle or whether it's the bitch from Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes, or even Kash Patel, I find him likable even though he is a goon and a goofball and dishonest. There is something likable about how absolutely like incapable he is of doing anything right. It's like a child you have that can't do anything right. You want to hit them and you want to ground them, but there's some likability they have because they're such a buffoon. So here is Sonny Hostin, trying to tell everyone on the panel why she sold everything. Here she is. Take it away. I recently partnered with a company called Fountain Zero who had an AI movie released at the Tribeca Film Festival. It's the first time that that was done. And one of the reasons I partnered with this company. So now stop it for a minute and then we're going to play the whole thing. You can see Joy Behar getting mad. Joy Behar is 112 years old. Joy Behar is a very old stand-up comedian from New York who's been on The View forever. And you can see Joy Behar is getting really angry that Sonny Hostin is saying, going, doing AI propaganda on The View. So you can see the muscles in Joy Behar's face start to tighten up. Like Joy Behar's like, hey, what the fuck? What the fuck? What are you doing? And now we're going to watch this and I want you to run it back because we're going to watch the whole thing. But just also, as you're listening to this, you're going to start to hear Joy Behar. And for a lot of the people that listen and aren't watching, you're going to hear Joy Behar become increasingly angry at Sonny Hostin. Here you go. Recently partnered with a company called Fountain Zero who had an AI movie released at the Tribeca Film Festival. And one of the reasons I partnered with this company is because I've written a trilogy and for six years I've tried to get my films or my stories made into series and films. And the gatekeeping in Hollywood around black and brown creative content is insane. I cannot get New York Times best-selling books onto the screen to tell diverse stories to diverse communities. So what does that have to do with AI? With AI, that couldn't be done. It cuts out the gatekeeping. You get to make your film. You get to have a director. Do they have actors in it, though? No, they're generated. I've licensed my image. And so I may appear. Where's Waldo somewhere in it? Wait, wait, you're a robot now. I may appear. But in all seriousness, it's a way to go then to a streamer and say, here's the product. Will you license it? Will you show it? It's a way, I think, to get black and brown stories told. There are a lot of. I don't get it. I love those things. Those stories are not being told. But if those people are, in fact, robots, how does that help the real black community? I would say. Because the real people are not working. Because the stories are being told, Joy. Because the real people are not getting jobs in Hollywood. The train has left the station. And this is something that's here. It's not going away. And I think that there are going to be enormous benefits, but of course. Did you feel any ethical issues in signing that? I thought about it a lot. But she needs the project. Well, I don't need the project. I think that diverse stories need to be told. I get that. Stop this. Okay. You hear exactly the rationale that has been used for every person who drapes themselves in their identity all the time. It is primarily. It is primarily for the purposes of their own advancement. And by their own, I mean them. Not other people. Not even their communities. This woman is now saying black and brown stories need to be told even if it's with generative AI. So those jobs don't go to black and brown actors. They will go to AI. And I will make all of the money. She doesn't care about black and brown stories being told. She cares about her stories being told. It has nothing to do with diverse stories and diverse audiences. How many black and brown people are reading Summer on the Bluffs or whatever the fuck this bitch is even writing? But it is a blatant. And by the way, sure. Like, you know, like, at the end of the day, if she would just say that, if she just said, the train's left the station to say, I think it's not going anywhere, I'm getting on board. People could either love it or hate it, but she was like, it's about the stories being told. No, no, no, no, no. It's about her story being told and getting money for it and damn everyone else who wants to work. So she's just great. We like her. We're in support of her. We're in support of her because we're excited to see over the next few months or years what else she will justify with this. Now that we have this framework, what else can we justify with this framework that like, hey, I've tried to make a bunch of bestsellers into movies and nobody would do it. So now we're using AI. Palantir's doing it. Palantir's doing it. You know why, Joy? Because diverse stories need to get told and Peter Thiel's doing it. So how about that? You don't like it? Fuck, Elon Musk is doing it now. Elon Musk is doing it. You know why? Because diverse stories, hey, Sam Altman's doing it. You know why? Because diverse stories need to get told. So it does, yeah. What is Fountain Zero, by the way? These are AI, because this is what they, all they want, is AI slop. One of the things that, you know, whether I disagree with my colleagues on some other political things, and some of us do have disagreements and some of us are more aligned than you would think. But one thing that I really do respect about a lot of the people that I may have certain disagreements with is that we all want human art to be human and that we don't want to participate in this AI slop factory because it completely drains the humanity from what's going on and I do respect that about people. But I also, at the same time, do respect multi-millionaire Sunny Hostin who needs to make a movie and her need to have a movie made is bigger than humanity's need to thrive and continue to exist. So it's hard because I see a lot of people and I say to myself, I go, should humanity remain the paramount creative force on Earth? Oh, I don't know! Because Sunny Hostin, multi-millionaire Sunny Hostin who's on television every single day, who has, by her own admission, many best-selling books, but they're not movies. No one's made a movie about Summer on the Bluffs. Now, get up Summer on the Bluffs and I want to know more about Summer on the Bluffs because she's saying this is so important that black and brown children need to hear Summer on the Bluffs. Okay, Amelia Ama Vo Tanner, a wealthy retiree mourning her late husband, decides to move to the south of France. So automatically, it's automatically, if I'm a kid in the Chicago public school system, I'm like, give me this book. Nothing will help the economic conditions of minorities in this country more than this book. Amelia, Ama Vo Tanner, a wealthy retiree mourning her late husband, decides to move to the south of France. She invites her three goddaughters to her Oak Bluffs beach house, Chateau Laveau, for one final summer get-together. Ama announces that by Labor Day, she will hand the deed to the prized house over to only one of them. Each woman desperately wants the home, but each hides a major personal secret that she fears will ruin her chances at approving the book. However, she doesn't. She's unaware that she's keeping secrets of her own. So that's Summer on the Bluffs. And listen, I think it's, there are a lot of communities in America that should be better funded. The police should have better training. The schools should get more money. People should get healthcare. People should have jobs. We should focus our money on the Bronx. We should focus our money on East St. Louis and all of these places. And Detroit, and Appalachia and whatever it's not. necessarily about race although it's a lot of the the black communities have been decimated um and we shouldn't be focusing our money on the ukraine and israel but i also think in lieu of that if we don't do that if we just keep sending our money abroad and giving it to sam altman i do think summer on the bluffs should be a movie because if nothing else those kids who live in de-industrialized crime-ridden hellscapes who don't have the resources to succeed in life can then at least go home and watch summer on the bluffs and i guess it will inspire them because they go maybe one day i'll be able to write ai slop like summer on the bluffs every summer esperanza you the quote perry soto a beautiful and talented afro-latina lawyer

harmless innovators men in tech are now why don't you date the tech bros widely regarded as red-pilled elon musk wannabes it's made getting laid a whole lot harder um engaged in a flirtatious

was told that the woman told him was quote not an excuse to work somewhere like that she was referring of course to palantir's controversial work with governments including the u.s and israel which used the company's surveillance tools for law enforcement and military operations since joining that tech company in 2025 gary has noticed that naming his employer prompts brutal reactions from prospective women one woman he says called him the devil another asked how he lives with himself sometimes people just straight up stop talking to me he said he says recently gary's buddies requested

that'll suck my dick and he does it dressed like Barry Weiss and we can have children together we'll get a surrogate we will get a surrogate like Barry did I think oh no Barry's wife might have the kids whatever anyway Gary DMs are open anyway so we this is an article from the uh Wall Street Journal you heard of this we've reached peak Nepo baby every new artist is hit with the label these days so this is the Wall Street Journal now by the way the Wall Street Journal every now and then um does something insane usually the Wall Street Journal um is is sort of a somewhat predictable their editorial page is kind of boring and but then every now and then they will run an article like you know do you need a dining room table lunch is becoming a real problem you know because they're they're game here is to bet you have to stop complaining about your life this is kind of what the Wall Street Journal kind of this is where they they're basically like we're not going to bother you with the woke stuff that's what they say we're not going to bother you with all the land acknowledgement shit but you're also going to have to stop complaining about the cost of lunch or the fact that you live in a shed we don't want to hear it we don't want to hear it we're not going to bother you with the DEI shit but if you don't want to hear it we're not going to bother you with the DEI shit but if you are living in a camper we don't want to hear this we don't want to hear it we don't want to hear it artists is hit so now basically the Wall Street Journal this article which I read by Ali Jones is that it's about the fact that everybody now seems to be sort of a nepo baby in some way they're either the direct child of an actor or actress and I'll put them in my movie till we're doing we're raising money right now for a film so if you're a nepo baby don't think that I won't put you in the film either I'm not holding the nepo thing against you because I believe by the way that some of them are very talented I believe that I don't care that their parents are actors or actresses if you are talented and if you have sex with me on set and don't accuse me of raping you I will put you in the movie Gary Stella Lefty was riding high the country folk singer spent the summer going viral on TikTok for her breakout single ball Austin a pared down love song that is currently number two on the billboard hot 100 then internet sleuths discovered that Lefty was short for Lefkovsky and the overnight success was the daughter of a billionaire Lefty's father Groupon co-founder Eric Lefkovsky is not a music industry executive but soon this singer was labeled a nepo baby along with many other new stars who have undeniable privilege but tenuous connection to the entertainment world okay so here's what the Wall Street Journal is saying just because she's a billionaire doesn't mean she's a nepo baby because her dad is a billionaire it's not like her dad's Goldie Hawners I mean her dad's like her mom's not Goldie Hawner dad's not Kurt Russell whatever you know now okay this discourse kind of it bores me anyway because truly like rich people will always have an advantage billionaire and I will I'm just going to tell the Wall Street Journalists they may be unaware of this it might be might actually more be more advantageous if your dad's a tech billionaire than an actor or actress you might actually get further I know this might shock the Wall Street Journal to their core you may get further in entertainment if your dad is a AI billionaire tech billionaire than if your dad was on House of Cards or something so you see that now I'm also it bores me to constantly shake my fist at people that have a better more advantages in life than I do I find that boring I hate the mentality of a victim that being said it is hard to ignore how many of these people do seem to be out there how many of these kids have famous moms and dads and how many of these children's uh moms and dads are billionaires she her her name is long so I understand why she cut it off but she's a billionaire and she's a billionaire and she's a billionaire and she's a short it's Jewish that might be why she cut it short too that's happening to Hollywood um and she's doing country music so she might feel like and I don't know by the way I don't know why she's doing country music whatever um but everything's for the taking now so she doesn't so I'm saying there's other reasons that she might have changed her name other than the fact that she didn't want people to find out who her dad is but obviously people were going to find out and did find out and I don't think that this makes her untalented I don't find her that great and don't play her music because she'll copyright strike me and then God only knows her father will really strike me with a drone so the last thing we need to do right now is fucking anger these fucks okay I I don't find her to be that amazing I think she's fine and I don't I don't attack the woman because all she gets is hate all the time but it to me it's it doesn't I I hear the music it doesn't move me but we're also living in a time now where mediocrity is the enduring thing and you will and everything's for the taking like you can put on a cowboy hat and be a country music star you nothing matters you can be a rapper from a rich family and a prep school kid like everything is for the taking you invent the identity you want to be and then people will just gravitate towards it and these people are going to make so much money it's unfathomable and that will drive everyone nuts it will it I'm not one of these big simulation guys but the fact that someone named Stella Lefty we're discussing this even you know that she's a country mute is her did she steal the song from Noah Cahot like it does feel like we're in some type of matrix it does feel like we're in some type of simulation you're you're these people you're just going to watch them make so much money it's going to blow your it's going to blow your mind how much money these people make they're going to make gazillions of dollars they're going to invent new denominations of money for how much money these people make because everything now is about the machine it's the machine it's not the raw talent it's the machine behind the raw talent so I know that the Wall Street Journal is saying well her dad's just a drummer in Metallica sure yeah sure but you know that might also have advantages Wall Street Journal and by the way I'm a nepo baby in the sense that my mother was a schizophrenic and I'm on YouTube that's kind of a nepo baby if you think about it my mother was a fucking schizo and died in a public mental institution now I'm here doing it for a living I have a very nice car but so I get it I understand this me and Stella we're the same you can't get mad at this stuff but you can notice it you can notice how much of culture is curated by machines that are operating all well-paid well-organized campaigns to put something out there until you accept that it is the next thing there's that's always happened to a degree but now it's incredible personal because you can see it happen and you can feel it whereas you know in the the old days of traditional media there were layers between that and you now you can feel it you can see it happen you know I mean and I I have no on a train back to bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar fine I'm not trying to begrudge anyone their success is it exit do I like the Ella Langley thing she's good she's really good that song's good but it's enough now it's enough now it's crazy that that's the biggest song ever that's crazy but it's what happened when everyone in this country was lectured for about four years that they were were they had privilege and a lot of people didn't and some did but a lot of these white people you know they had privilege and a lot of people didn't and you were telling were privileged and evil, They ended up They left the cultural spaces Where that was happening And they went to a cultural space Where that wasn't happening And everyone became a fan of country music And now guys I know Who grew up in New Jersey Are like you go to country music shows Because they feel like They're not being moralized to Or they're not being lectured or whatever But now I think We're at the point now Where that's going to recede a little bit And then you're going to start to see That that peaked Choose in Texas Fun song Little bit of an earworm You know Choose in Texas I can tell By the way Yeah it's good It's good It's good But this is what happens with culture peaks And I think we're at the peak of that We're at the peak of people just You know putting on cowboy hats And you know Just kind of stealing someone else's culture Just because it makes them feel more comfortable Momentarily I'm not saying you can't be a fan of country music I love a lot of country music Whatever So I think this Stella Lefty here Is popping the bubble a little bit On that And people are going Wait what? And I'm not saying you should hate this woman She wants to be a singer And she's singing Okay But culture will Is going to move on from this And it's going to move on to When you hear Sonny Hostin go And the train has left the station She's not wrong When she says that about AI And about all of these things The train has left the station And this has left the station And that's going blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah But there is going to be a time When people are going to have to actually make choices About what you consume And if you're going to If you value humanity And you value watching human beings And listening to human beings There will be a time When you're going to have to choose To not see the AI movie There's going to have to be a time When you go Yeah I don't care I'm not going to see it Or I'm not going to watch the AI show You know And there will be a And now there's going to be people That don't make that decision Especially younger people Who didn't grow up with human movies And don't give a shit And they go Hey man I don't give a fuck I didn't grow up with the Mighty Ducks And when Harry met Sally And the Birdcage And fucking Casino I didn't grow up with any of that So what do I care I'm just going to watch AI slop I'm going to watch Summer on the Block On the Bluffs Because Sunny Hostin decided Because she needed a fucking movie made And listen God bless Stella Lefty Or whoever Whoever's out there You know it's very hard now To be a successful person If your parents are totally fucked It's very difficult Okay It is really hard So these kids do have a leg up If your father is a billionaire It's probably better It's probably beneficial It doesn't mean you have no talent It does mean that Your talent is viewed differently It's always going to be viewed differently Sorry I know a lot of rich kids Who want to pretend to be Musicians and comedians And all this stuff And that's okay You're allowed to do that It's a choose your own adventure here Okay But you also just got to have the awareness To self-awareness To know That people may see it a little differently That's all You just got to own it You just got to Just got to do it Why Are all these people The only people that seem to be getting anything That's a fair question That's a fair question I think a lot of it is that they grow up With these These executives And casting directors And people like that And They're in the world already And they know the customs And they know how to do things And Maybe they'll shut their mouth about You know Some behavior That other They go These people know how to keep their mouth shut Maybe that's part of it You know Whereas I'll go on a movie And then trash it Because it was bad Because my job is to Tell people shit on this fucking program A lot of those people will not And they might be a better investment Investment than me Like if Stella Lefty was in Joker 2 She wouldn't have said A goddamn thing about it She would have said I loved it It was such a joy To work with Gaga And the other one And Joaquin And You know She would have done it Because she understands She understands the assignment I'm not even saying That's necessarily bad I'm just saying Perhaps that is a reason You see a lot of these Netball babies get shit Is because the powers That be That The powers That be The ones that are making Large investments Are trying to manage risk And they go These kids know How to keep their mouth Shut Upwork gives your business Fast access to highly skilled specialists With deep expertise So you can fill critical

Highlights how tricky It can be to navigate Interview etiquette I'm telling you this Right now folks The job market Is brutal It's not great And you're gonna have to Get And you're not all Gonna have fucking Daddy Groupon So you're gonna have To figure it out This is an article Where was this from Washington Post Yeah the Washington Post Now is saying That what you do And don't do On an interview Is different Than it used to be Things are evolving They're shifting They're changing When I was a fresh College graduate Interviewing for my full time job I thought about my mother's Interviews do's and don'ts Don't wear anything That could reveal tattoos Don't start with asking Questions about salary In all ways She stressed this Above all else Mail a physical Thank you note The next day In the years since I entered the job market Interview etiquette norms Have changed dramatically While each sector Field and company May have its own rituals Former no-nos Like tattoos and dyed hair Often aren't deal breakers And many interviews take place over Zoom which introduces a whole new slate of do's and don'ts. But not everyone agrees on which rules to keep and which to toss out. In a video posted on TikTok last week, recruiter Caitlin Wenanian introduced a new one, don't carry nice coffee into an interview. Walking in to shake hands while juggling a drink can make a big moment seem just like another stop on your list of errands for the day. The comment section under the original video exploded. One recruiter agreed that bringing in a nice coffee to a meeting can be distracting, one poster asked. Are you expecting my whole day to revolve around a 30-minute meeting? Satires and skits have spoofed both Gen Z job seekers and corporate overlords. Wenanian has since posted a follow-up video saying she wasn't trying to stoke the flames for the sake of likes and reposts. When you really want a job offer, you need to know certain ways of going about the process that helps you build confidence. When you know what to expect going in the door. The video and the ensuing debate have exposed a greater challenge. How do you navigate ever-changing interview etiquette when the job hunt can already be confusing, discouraging, and exhausting? Here, you have two problems. I'm going to tell you right now the two problems, okay? And some of you will agree with me and some will disagree with me and it won't change the fact that I'm right. Gen Z has a very good quality that has very bad components. Wow. Settle in. Gen Z's very good quality is this, from what I can understand and from the people that I've spoken to and the things I've read about it. They want to have a fulfilling life where they are not a slave to their job and that their job is not the only thing that they want. The only thing that they dedicate their time to, they want to build a life that includes their career but is not all about their career. This is from the people that interact in the Gen Z job market. And so that you'll have conversations with Gen Z people where they talk about time off and nights off and are they really free and can you text them at night and are they going to have to be on the Slack group chat? How much work do they want? How much work do they want to do? This, that, and the other thing. Okay, so by the way, I think that's overall a good quality. It's a European quality. It's seeing their millennial brethren get ground into paste by corporate America and don't have much to show for it. Many of them don't own homes. Relationship pictures may be, you know, maybe they're not having children or getting married or whatever. They're living in very expensive cities in arrangements with roommates well into their 30s. And even older. And their Gen Z peers look at that and go, they dedicated everything to their careers and their careers became their lives. And their lives, they thought like they were going to meet the guy or the girl working at Vice or whatever, you know, working somewhere. And some people did, but some people didn't. So that is the Gen Z instinct to go, I don't want to trade, but here are the bad components of that because every time you're in a relationship, every good has a bad. Every positive thing has a bad. Working at Palantir, you make $250,000 and you can pay your parents' medical debt off. But you are designing machinery of death to kill innocent people and I'm going to have sex with you dressed as Barry Weiss. That's what it is. Here are the bad components of Gen Z's overarching thing, which again, I think is good. I think that's a positive thing. Some of the negative components of that is that you're trying to reverse engineer something without the knowledge that you would need to determine what those appropriate things are. What those appropriate boundaries are. Meaning you get out of college, you go into the workforce and you go, I'm 22 years old and I demand a perfectly balanced life. That's never going to happen. It's never going to happen. You have to fight for that. And I don't mean you have to fight like in a crazy sense where you are, you know, it becomes the, the struggle of your entire existence. But I mean like you have to determine what that looks like and what sacrifices you are willing to make for that. You can only learn those things through experience. And I'm not telling you to become a slave to some nameless faces corporation, but it is very hard at 20 years old or 22 years old to go. I want every sector of my life to be hot and great. And fulfilling and thrilling. I want a great social life and a great romantic life and a great income and a great relationship with my family. And I want to live in a place that I like and I want to have free time to pursue hobbies and side quests. That is something that is very unreasonable. And I think, by the way, I think the framework of that comes from a good place of going, I don't want to throw my whole life away for this job. But the practical application of that is something that you cannot demand immediately. You have to then find that balance through asserting your own boundaries as you go through life. You're not going to get that immediately. You might work for a year at a job and go, that was too much for me. I'm not built for that. You might decide the city you're living in is too expensive. I don't really love that. You might decide that, you know what? You actually, see, you're more of a country person. You don't want to live in a city at all. There isn't a one-size-fits-all and you need to learn that as you go. I don't think it's a bad thing to want a balanced life, but it's very hard at 20 years old to go to a corporation and go, to walk in with a nice coffee and go, listen, when's my vacation? When do I get it? So wait, will you text me at night? I don't want to ever return a text at night about a job-related issue. I don't know if that's realistic, you know? Do you understand what I'm saying? Oh, yeah. It just is what it is, folks. Like, you know, people have to just say to themselves, here we go. The interview has always been a place to assess fit, both for the applicant and for the company, said Sarah McCord, a former career columnist and founder and CEO of Sarah McCord Communications. If there's an immediate visceral reaction on either end, the company doesn't want a candidate who brings a nice latte. A candidate doesn't want somewhere where the company cares. That's actually specifically exactly how the interview is supposed to work. So what this bitch is saying is walk in with a latte. And if they don't want your latte, you don't want them. That might be the great latte challenge. You walk in and you put the latte down and then look at. Here's what I would do if I'm a candidate. Ask me right now why I think I'm a good fit for the job. Thanks for coming in. Why do you think you're a good fit for the job? I'm not. Ultimate power move. Make them want you more. Take a sip out of the latte and go, I'm not. If you think I'm one of these drones that's going to sit there and fucking lose me, and lose my identity in your capitalist machine, you're out of your fucking mind. My father owns Groupon, you faggot. My father owns Groupon and I'm a country gal. And then put your hat on with your latte and go, and I'm a country gal. And go in with a guitar and go, I want to sing in my interview. I want to sing. My father owns Groupon. AI's going to put you in a cage. Peter Thiel's my father. My father! And open your eyes and they'll be all black and go, Peter Thiel's my father! And then you'll get the job. Bye. This is Matt Rogers from Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang.

Summary:

The transcript blends a culinary exploration of Kewpie mayo with a broader cultural and political commentary. Kewpie mayo is introduced as a distinct, rich mayonnaise made only with egg yolks, widely adopted for its deep, buttery flavor and versatility in food. This is contrasted with a detailed analysis of Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the UN General Assembly, where he faces a hostile audience and uses strategic rhetoric—such as calling out moral cowardice and framing military decisions as life-saving—to maintain presence and legitimacy.

The segment critiques how such narratives justify controversial actions by claiming that failure would have led to global annihilation. It then shifts to a critical examination of AI’s role in entertainment, spotlighting Sunny Hostin's decision to license her books to AI companies to promote diverse stories, sparking debate over authenticity, exploitation, and the displacement of human creators. The discussion reflects on the broader cultural shifts: the rise of "nepo babies" in entertainment, the commodification of identity, and the increasing dominance of technology in content creation.

Ultimately, the narrative questions whether humanity’s creative and moral core is being eroded by convenience, privilege, and automation. It concludes with a call for awareness—encouraging audiences to critically evaluate the media they consume and to value human artistry over algorithmic output. The tone is reflective, satirical, and urgent, emphasizing that while technology offers new tools, it cannot replace the depth and integrity of human experience.

FAQs

Kewpie mayo is a Japanese-style mayonnaise made only with egg yolks, giving it a rich, buttery, umami flavor. Unlike most mayonnaises that use whole eggs, Kewpie is smoother and deeper in taste, which is why it's popular for spreading on sandwiches, fries, burgers, and in culinary applications.

People often fall in love with Kewpie mayo because of its rich, creamy, and slightly sweet flavor profile that stands out from regular mayonnaise. Its unique taste and smooth texture make it a surprising and enjoyable new favorite food.

The UN General Assembly brings together world leaders to discuss global issues like climate change, war, and the economy. It serves as a platform for diplomacy, though it can also become a site of controversy and tension, especially when leaders face strong opposition or protests.

Netanyahu addresses the hostile crowd by acknowledging their reaction, calling out 'moral cowards' who left, and reframing the situation as a moment of resilience. This approach turns a potential liability into a powerful demonstration of leadership and control.

He argues that without his actions, the world would have faced annihilation, claiming that his decisions were necessary to prevent widespread destruction and loss of life, framing them as life-saving despite being controversial.
