War On The Whiteboys! Timmy Chalamet, Jack Harlow, & Why Mormon Wives Get Freaky | Ep #696
136m 4s
The episode features a mix of humor, cultural commentary, and social critique. The hosts open with a sharp correction of a common misconception—confusing a Korean-made K-Pop film with an American production—highlighting how misinformation and cultural stereotypes are often amplified in online discussions. The conversation then shifts to broader issues of racism and cultural performance, especially in how people from different backgrounds are judged. A major focus is Jack Harlow’s statement about becoming "blacker" in his music, which the hosts analyze as both a personal artistic choice and a potentially offensive remark that ignited widespread online backlash. They argue that the internet often overreacts to such moments, fueled by outrage culture rather than genuine artistic or cultural analysis. The hosts also reflect on how media and public figures share personal opinions, creating moments of vulnerability that can be misinterpreted or exploited. They critique the tendency for audiences to react emotionally to seemingly minor statements, especially when they involve race, music, or identity. The discussion includes a broader observation that cultural commentary is often driven by outrage rather than thoughtful engagement, and that this reflects a larger societal pattern of reacting strongly to perceived slights—even when those slights are not rooted in real harm. The episode concludes with a nod to the importance of authenticity, self-awareness, and the power of personal storytelling in entertainment, while underscoring how public figures must navigate both artistic expression and public scrutiny. Despite the tone of satire, the core message is about the need for empathy, cultural understanding, and balanced critique in modern media discourse.
What's up everybody, welcome to Flagoran. We've been abandoned. Let's just call it what it is, okay? We got no archives, hunger games. We got no fucking mark is Alan I holding it down, Corona style, okay, we're throwing it back to you. Alex and Shifty seem to be under the impression that the K-Pop demon hunters is an English American made movie that just happens to be about a K-Pop band and not a Korean made movie. No, it's a Korean made movie, but it's made in English. No, no, they dub it in English. No, it's made in English. All the words of the fucking animated shit are English words. You don't think that that's originally a Korean song? No, it won't slap to say. Come on. That's bad to say. We don't have our Asian representative or a Caucasian representative here for you to be making these jokes, okay, how you make your racism, you even got the beef and broccoli on the beef on the beef on the beef on the beef on the beef on the beef, okay, I'm just trying to keep the wheels on the bus, I'm trying to keep the wheels on the bus miles, I'll move back in a frame.

I am. I'm a quarter Irish. You just want to be something, bro. Brother, are you Puerto Rican? Yes, but I'm real Puerto Rican because my mom was born there. We don't know that. There's no proof of that. What proof of that? What proof of that? What proof? Call your mom right now. See if she was actually born in a hospital with no electricity. There's no way she was born in a bathtub, that's how they did that. Draw through my fucking paper towel. Ow. Ow. Cleaned up the blood. Ow. Is it going to be just one of us next episode to keep it going? It's going to be me, baby. You are. You two did it. We're down to two. We're down to two. Is this a set up? Like, I feel like I'm going to open this and it's going to explode. No, no, no, no. That didn't get dropped, but it's, it's Guinness. There's no bubbles in it. Miles, you want to open this? You fucked it up. I think white people have like a better. Can you. You do beer better. Listen, can we all just have a moment? Can we have a moment right now to just acknowledge? It's hard out there for white boys with motion. Can we just have a moment to acknowledge? That's what you're going with. Can we just acknowledge it? Are you a white boy with motion? It's also hard with Puerto Rican. I can't. I can't. I can't. I think people do it better. Boy. Whoa! Whoa, whoa. That made me feel uncomfortable. God damn. That really made me feel uncomfortable. Oh, we bitch. Zilliana. I'm not talking to that. I'll just. That's what the guy says about this. Oh, there we go. Got it. Good. Strong hands, baby. Yeah. All right. Okay, so yeah, do you think it's, I mean, Jack Harlow and Timmy going through it right now. Tell me how hard it is for white boys with motion right now. I need you to lean back. I know. Let me get your shot. Okay, we can just go to that wide. Yeah, go to that wide now. The wide is really not even that wide today. No, it's not. It's just. And we really just need one camera for this. Yeah. Okay. We're doing weekend update. That's what Al and I are doing. Okay. No, no, listen. I'm not here to complain about the journey of the white male. Nice. How? There's nobody else for me to talk to. I need you paying attention. Oh, yeah. I can help. It's gonna be a cup. I got to like lock eyes with you. This is like a date right now. Move over a little bit. Nice. I am a little closer than you ever wanted. Yeah. Like what the fuck is this? I am occupying space. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I am. I don't care. What the fuck is this? The West Bank or something? Get out of here. Damn. Al, do we have to get political immediately? What's your favorite city in the West Bank? Um. Don't know it. I love it. You're gonna put your Ukraine flag right now, bro. You're on. I stand with the people. I stand with what the internet says. That's what we need. Cheers, cheers, cheers, my boy. Cheers, cheers. Okay. Free everyone. Except white boys with motion. All right. Tell me about this. You have no take on this as a black dude? I mean, did you listen to. First of all, did you listen to Jack's album? No. Okay. That makes both of us. Yeah. So we're gonna give you stronger opinions on this. We heard like 15 seconds of it in the elevator with Dove. Yes. And that didn't sound too great. But that's not fair. You would never judge a Jay-Z album in 15 seconds. You'd never judge anybody's album on 15 seconds. But he's not singing. So R&B is singing. And he was just like doing the little whisper talking stuff. So it was like, that already is like, oh, if the whole album's like that, don't call it an R&B album. So you want to see vocals for an R&B album? Yeah. Is there anybody that doesn't have vocals, but they're just so musically inclined. You're like, fine, you get to do it. Kanye, you know, Ethan Harberg. Mmm. But he used auto-tune to make him shit. To make up for the fact that he couldn't say. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So if he just said this is an alternative album, got it. You know that there's no way that he's. No matter what he said, he was gonna get cooked for that. I think no. I don't think so. If he just said that, yo, I'm making an alternative album. Yeah, but now it's not a black. Oh, so you think the criticism comes from the fact that it doesn't sound like R&B, but he called it that one. Yeah. What did he ever say was an R&B album? I'm pretty sure that's the whole rollout that he's putting out an R&B album. I don't know. Do you want to play this clip? Play this clip. I'm saying you didn't retreat into a whiter genre. In fact, you arguably went into deeper into. I got black music. Yeah. That's what most people have seen from the clip. Okay. That's what most people have seen from the interview. And all the opinions about this rollout come from that one right here. Right. There's an extended version of the conversation where the two interviewers, they're basically being politically correct. And they're like being white guys about asking him this question, which is like, yo, you see a lot of white artists. They retreat to white music. Once they get on, you didn't do that. And they basically want to say you got black and they want to say that. But they're not saying it. So he says it. And then he goes on and you can play more of the clip. Was that conscious? Was that a little twist on the typical move that white rappers make, which is to retreat back into traditionally white sounds? It certainly made what I already wanted to do even more appealing. Absolutely. Because you like pushing that boundary, that line? I think I love black music. I love this sound. That's such a funny moment because he's like, because you like pushing the boundary. He's like, no, bro, just like black music. And then the interviews and music. Yeah, me too. Yeah. And I think that this is handled perfectly. Like he's saying, hey, I love this music. This is what I wanted to make. This is what it's inspiring me. He says I got blacker because that's what the interview's trying to say. He's saying it almost sarcastic. But he shouldn't have. Let the either let the fucking interviewer say it. If he's not going to say it, you don't need to take everybody. Everybody stop podcasting, bro. Everybody got to stop podcasting. I know. I just got a podcast. Yeah. Turn it off. Turn it off. Everybody got to stop podcast. Because there's nothing you could do. No, just white people need to stop podcast, apparently. It's not just white people. Who's black and in trouble? Jack Holland. Just got a trouble for a podcast, bro. He's black. He's blacker than ever, dude. He's. Come on, hell. All right. So no. This is interesting. Is it just black? Is it just white people getting trouble podcasting? Nah. You got Jack and you got Chalamet. Black guys get on, say, Walsh and podcast them. Shits blow up. You got Shannin. Shannin shot pot. Yeah. Shannin. Shannin. Shannin. Everybody goes on Shannin. I guess he's some shit. But that. But it's like blows up in a good way. Cat Williams goes over there. It's the biggest podcast ever. His tour is selling out. Like, it's a good thing for them. Interesting. So you think it's just white people getting trouble? Yeah. Yeah. Crap in a ballerass niggas, bro. I'll say some white. That's it. Is it white people tearing down white people? Yes, because you're not with Jack Harlow. Yeah. Barrel is getting smaller because minorities are growing. But the Jack Harlow response is not from white people. It's a little bit of both, but black people, because he said, I'm getting blacker. Like, I don't like the sound of that. That was a little cringey. I get what he's saying. And if you watch the whole clip, I agree with everything he's saying. But if you stop it at right there, he's like, oh, yeah, I'm getting blacker. And it's like, we have a history of all this fucking, what's it called? Who's the guy that the culture of ultras? Like, we've had a history of that. So it's like it looks that way. Yeah, but you can't look at him and be like, oh, he's being sarcastic. I don't think he's being sarcastic. He's using language that's sarcastic. Yes. Yes. If you watch the full clip, if you just stop it, I'm getting blacker. But R&B sounds crazy. So, R&B sounds crazy. - It's rhythm and blues, yes, I think I'm not rhythm or blues. - Blues, blues brothers. - But you don't have rhythm, and blues is a black R4. - Why do you have, why do you live in a dancing? - Bro, you invented like skipping and shit like that. Like your dance is, your dances are one, two, three, four. - What's rhythm is just like, hey, we feel it. - Can you show me? - Can you show me some rhythm, how you feel it? - No, I've been hanging around too many whites, man. - I'm losing rhythm, bro. - I think Jack Hottel just feels that rhythm to me right now. - Feel that for a second. - But I get why the internet's upset, they shouldn't be if you watch the full clip. Because he got put in a position and he said the thing you're supposed to say, he's like, hey, I like the music. And so I'm just leaning into the music that I like. But at the same time, you know it's a little bit easier for white people to switch genres than it is for black people. It's easier in terms of. - So white guy, like Kim Post can go to white music country and no one's giving him shit for going to the music. - I think white people can go from black to white. - Very easy. - Very easy. - Yes. - It's like a welcome home, right? But Kim, can a traditional rock musician drop a rap album? - No, that's hard. - Okay. - Do we have any examples of a black artist that started in a white genre and then went to hip-hop? - Oh, oh, wait a minute, that's what this would be. - No, no, no, no, no, but there is. Oh, no, that's a totally different one. Who'd he in the blowfish? Was that the guy? Wagon Wheel? - Yeah. - So he started it, but he started out doing what? What was that like? - I think he started at Hoody. - Yeah, he started with Hoody, but what type of music was it? It was just like pop music. - Yeah, pop music. - And then he went to like country. - Yeah, and then country. - Yeah. - But I guess he didn't get any, maybe he did get some shit. Maybe we're just not fucking aware of it because we don't know what the hell is happening in country music. My point is that like this is like, I think this is a perfect example of just like, the internet is one big outrage machine right now. It's like the only thing that gets clicks and the only thing that gets views. It's like reaction, outrage, reaction, outrage. And they got to find things to be outraged by because maybe they're exhausted being outraged by real shit, like there's war going on. And they're like, all right, we got all that outrage out. What can I be outraged about that doesn't really matter? Like Timmy Chalamet talking about like ballet or opera, it doesn't fucking really matter. - Yeah, it doesn't. - Like nobody really can, like I grew up in a dance family. Let me tell you, like I grew up in a dance family. - Gain? - Yeah, yes. - So did he though. - And he did, and he knows it. Like my wife came to me to be a ballerina. Like this, the ballet is completely supported by donors. Like the tickets you do go to see the enough cracker that doesn't pay for ballet. - Oh shit, is that why you liked your wife? Because she reminded you of your mother. - My mom was in a ballerina. - I thought she did all dancing. Ballet was part of it. - No, no, no, no. My mom was a three time US barham dance champion. I thought it was put some respect on her, right? - Oh yeah. - Oh see, your wife didn't live up to what your mom did in the game. - Well, she didn't become a three time US barham dance champion. - And you know, she's not your wife like that. - I mean, I'm just saying, Chris, she didn't achieve that. - See, I'm doing like that. New York Times guys do it to you right now. - There's no way you can't it's the way they would ask you. So how do you feel about what your wife has accomplished? - I think she did a great job. Yeah, of course she did a great job. That would be that one life questioning. But I'm not very proud of all my wife's achievements. I don't compare it to my mom at all. Thank God. - I know you don't compare your wife to your mom 'cause you're with a white woman. - I'm with the Spanish woman. I'm with the Spanish woman. I speak Spanish, my mom speaks Spanish. So you know what? Carlo, you created an R&B album in her belly one day. - How dare you criticize Jack Carlo when you try to create more whites? - No, I'm trying to create more white people. - I'm trying to make more black. - Listen, no, no, he's trying to get blacker. - You not. - Hey. (all laughing) Hey, Jack Carlo, it's trying to get blacker. - You're trying to get blacker. - What did you do? - He's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, lovely lady. White is his baddish. Definitely for a Northern Europe and in Spain to help kick out the browns. - Her family was probably one of the people that kicked the moors out. - No, no. - When Doves, when Doves, great grandma and grandpa came over to take over Spain, it was your wife's family. - No. - And let these fucking, I'm not going to say the word they would say. - No, she embraced them because her dad's a biologist and they went all out. - She wanted to s---. - No. - I don't want that. - I don't want that. - I don't want that. - We're trying to do a podcast. - I didn't realize that Mark and I just kept you at bay. - Oh yeah. - Holy moly. - You're just, you're just, you're a bad guy. - No, I love God knows my heart. - I hope the internet does too. - Oh, the internet does too. - Damn, he's just called Dove and his family, did we believe what he said? - Yes, we did. - Wow. - What do you think? - I called him great people. That's what I said. - We had to believe. - We had to believe. - That was compliments. - No, you were believing it. - No, but you believed it. And now they're running with it. So they're thinking you meant something that you didn't say. - Oh, fuck. - Yeah, you're fucked. - That's way worse. - You might as well just keep it thing you said. - Damn it. - So I really have to admit, more is a great human beings. Damn it. That sucks. Keep it in. - We got to work on Alice. - I know, I know. - I'm not good. - I'm not good. - I'm not good. - I'm not good. - I was like, what do you guys think? At 35 is learning what sarcasm is. (laughing) - Even if it's his own like tone and effect. - Dude, this is good. - I'm trying, guys. - All right, listen. All I gotta say is, if there's one thing I hope the Jack can appreciate is that some of the names that they gave him were hilarious. He seems like a funny kid. And I hope, naturally you put out an album. You work really hard on it, people judge it, and it's gonna hurt. But calling him January 6th in Park is, disingenuine is funny. No, Dale Estol is funny. I'm most definitely not a mid. IRS one is fantastic. - Yeah, that's great. That's great. - Charlie Kirk Franklin. (laughing) - Nah, so Charlie Kirk Franklin is insane. (laughing) - Yaku Kuali. (laughing) - Oh my, there's a cookie right now. - Oh, wow. - No, that's fucked up. They just called him straight up Daniel Caesar. That's, that's me and to our friend, friend of the show Daniel Caesar. We love Daniel Caesar, amazing musician. That's disrespectful. - Okay. - Music Roth Child might be my favorite. - That's good. That's good. It sucks all this shit he's got to, 'cause I like Jack. He's a funny guy. Good personality. I like him. - Proud boys to men is, guys, all right, stop it. Just stop it. Just stop it right now. Okay, so unfair, unfair with Jack's going through. Would you rather that the album just be judged off the merits of the album and nothing to do with what he said in the interview? - Uh, yes, but then I don't think as many people will tune into it. So is there a version where all the controversy gets people to go listen and then he is going to find the people that are into what he created? - I think so. - I think this, if the album's good over the long run, this helps it. - Okay, boom. - 'Cause I probably wouldn't have tuned in and now I probably will give it a listen just to see if it's-- - 'Cause you talk so much shit. - Yeah, I got it. Actually, I don't get fuck off. Keep talking shit, but still. - No, that's fucking insane. That one. - Yo, dude. (laughing) - Oh, and he's awesome. - Yeah, the internet is fucking great. - Yo, can we watch? 'Cause they just dropped the new trailer for Doom. We probably can't watch it, right? - I think we might need to watch it. - We might need to watch it. - Why are we reviewing? - Yeah, right. - I mean, we're in like pausing and stuff. That's where we get caught as we just play it through. - Oh, we play it straight through. - All right, Farron. - All right, so pause it already. - Moment, and you say a word. (laughing) - Shout it out. - Take the beer from Alan. - No. I'm not even cooking yet. - No, you're cooked. (laughing) - We need, well, we need is a Shalame, 'cause they just dropped Doom, part three. Do you like the Doom stuff? - I love, I love it. - Okay, you're into Doom. - Yeah, yeah. - Okay, how do you think of him as an actor and Doom? - Great. Phenomenal. - He's night. - I think he's a good actor. - This is the revision of his three shit. I don't like him. - You said he's phenomenal actor. - I think he's phenomenal. - He's not phenomenal. He's good. - Can you just give me baseline for phenomenal? Is Leo your baseline for phenomenal? - Yeah, he's up there. Yeah, yeah. - Okay. - And he's not Leo. - Yeah. - Hmm. - How old was Leo when he was 10? - When he was a Gilber great. - I can tell you. - He tells wow. - That's what you didn't have to do. - You didn't have to say it. - You didn't say the name of the car, Gilber. - Tell us why. - And I'm the bad one. - I'm not saying that you're bad, but like if I'm impersonated, like if you do Forrest Gump, how do you do his voice? Do you go, I like chocolate? - He's done it. - No, right. - He was 19. - He's what? - He was 19 when he was-- - Oh, he's no Leo. - Come on, son. - Come on, what? This is just, it's become trendy to hate on him shit. When did you notice that? - You just, you just compared him to Leo and then you asked the age and now that Leo was 19,
I think better than Jalamey. - You've never seen Jalamey act mentally deficient. - We saw Marty Supreme? - No, Marty Supreme, I didn't see it. But Marty Supreme even was an orchard guy. - Wait me, my guy, I'm just being objective here. I think he's a good actor. I think he's really good actor, phenomenal, actually. - No, not phenomenal. You're a lion, you're captain. And that's why we hate on it because you're captain. - All right, Cap, keep going. - Cap, oh, that's bullshit. You think he's the same level as Leo, same level as Ben Zell? - No, I don't think he's the same level as Leo. I think like Leo Denzel and a different, you know. - Phenomenal. - Yeah, Leo, but Denzel. Okay, fine, there's another level beyond it. But I don't think that Michael B. Jordan is in a different level than-- - Oh, I don't think so. - Yeah, I think they're same level. - Yeah, yeah. - I actually think, I know we're talking about this on, on idiots, but like, I think that, I think that, I think that the Oscars, they did the right thing just giving it to the youth. 'Cause like, you have to pump up the next generation of superstars in cinema, right? You don't have the luxury of just giving Oscars to the actors that are absolutely phenomenal. Like, even if Leo did a better job in acting than both of them, it's kind of like, in the best interest for the movie industry, to crown Michael B. Or Timmy as the superstars. And they low-key kind of did it. Like, who won the Golden Globe? I think it was a different way of maybe it was Mora or something like that, Wonder Mora or something. - Yep. - Wagner Mora. Wagner Mora won it, right? And then-- - That's a person or a movie. - No, that's a person. He's the guy who was Narcos, right? Wasn't that the first one where you saw him? - He's in a movie called The Secret Agent. - Well, like-- - And yes, he's from Narcos. - That's where we first saw him in Narcos. Anyway, then you got Timmy, and then you have Timmy getting the BAFTA, right? - Who, and he was care about movies? - No. - That's the BAFTA. The only thing we know about it was the Tourette guy. - Yeah. - That's the goal of the show. - He won that. - Yeah, Tourette won the BAFTAs. - Who won Best Actor? - Robert. - R-M-I-O. - Oh, interesting. I remember Timmy winning something. - Timmy just had a losing year, bro. - I'm looking, he didn't, he didn't want it, that whole movie didn't want an Oscar. - No, but I remember him winning some award. Maybe it was gold as people's choice, or like what? - Oh yeah, give him the one that don't count. - Why doesn't that one count? - People's choice. - That's what, aren't you a man of the people? You fucking industry hack. (laughing) What fucking Netflix deal or Warner Bros. - The deal, did they give WTF? Put you the shit all over it. Is it coming? - Yeah. - Yeah, no, no, no. - He won Best Actor in a musical or comedy for the Golden Globe. - Oh, okay. - So. - Okay, sorry about that. - So he did win Golden Globe. - Yeah, Best Actor in musical or comedy. - Okay, okay. So basically my point is that like they're starting to crown the next generation of superstars. So I don't even know if it, and I think that's part of like what this, these award things are about, right? It's not like, okay, on, I don't want to be, I don't want to take away anybody's merits, but like the industry has to be thinking, okay, we need to stay alive. We need to message to people out there in the world who the next crop of superstars are. So when we put $300 million into a movie, like Dune, everybody goes out and sees it because this is the guy. - Got it. - Like Michael Beatty. - I didn't think they were looking at that way. I thought they're like, hey, let's get views up. Everybody loves the race war. And you be like, just like prize fighting. Like you make white guy versus black guy. - Yeah. - Yeah, that's what they made this out to me. - Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, maybe, I don't know. Did you feel like race was a huge component going into this? - I think so. - With the BAFTA situation. - Yeah. I mean, if it was Timmy who yelled it. - Yeah. - How do we know? - Yeah, not. I don't know what the fuck in any sense. Timmy sat next to him and there was like, nah, I was about to run down. - Sure, that would be a tie. (laughing) - Yeah, so it's like, I don't know. I just feel like, I feel like kind of the, in a weird way, the industry got what it wanted. You know, like Michael B is a legit SAR superstar. He's gonna be the head of massive movies for the next fucking five, 10 years. And then Timmy is a huge superstar on his own. - Up and coming. - Up and coming, sure. But he'll probably never do a podcast again. What's interesting about this is that like, this roll out that he had for a Marty Supreme was the, what I think most people are like, this is phenomenal. You got awareness out for this movie. - Okay. - For the most part, at least the first few months of it, it was like, he's white boy in the month. He's the coolest motherfucker. He knows everything. - At a certain point I felt it was a little too much. - So that's the thing, it was, for me, it was the Charlemagne moment. - When Charlemagne was hating on him on brilliant ideas. Like, he was joking around, but it was about like the Kendrick thing. And I was like, oh wow. This is the first moment I've noticed, like what some people call overexposure. Does he get compensated for going on, doing promo? - It's part of the contract. - Okay. - So it's like, but he put the movie on his back. And the industry was basically looking at this movie going, if this movie doesn't do well, like if it doesn't crack like, you know, 60 million or 80 million or something like that, then like, we don't know if we can make movies that are about like obscure stories and no existing IP that nobody knows about. That was the talk. And then it did 150, whatever it is. And they were like, okay, we're still alive. So there was this big sigh of relief in the industry. - But weren't they talking about the Leo movie the same way? They were like, hey, movies are done because this movie didn't do shit. And this Leo is supposed to have done stuff. - I think they put Leo in a different category as Timmy. So they're basically going like, yeah, Leo should make a movie crack. And when it didn't, they were terrifying. And then Timmy comes in with this movie that's maybe even more obscure. - So that was either gonna confirm it or give them some hope. Now seeing the backlash from like this opera ballet comment, I wonder if execs are one gonna let him promote doing like this. - Ooh. - And I wonder if they're gonna let any of their big stars promote anything in this way. - Do you feel that the ballet comment even hurt the movie? - No, I don't think it hurt the movie, but I think that they're looking at like brand and they're looking protecting the brand as far as a brand. - Gotcha. - And it's like, to what we're talking about on Brilliant, it's like an actor where we were growing up, you really knew nothing about actors. Like I don't know anything about Michael B. Jordan, and that's a good thing. I don't know anything about Tom Hanks, right? Like we don't know anything about these people. I don't know what type of food they like. I don't know if they speak other languages. I don't know where they vacation. I really know nothing about these people. And then they can become a character and then they kind of are that character to us. Like Tom Hanks is a little bit of force come to me. - Oh yeah. - And he gets to live up to that. He gets to become that. The more we know a character as a person, when we see him not live up to that, one, it's trickier, right? And then one, it's trickier. And then it's almost like seeing an athlete in a movie that's not playing themselves. - Yeah. - Do you know what I mean? Or like seeing Ed Sheeran in Game of Thrones. You're like, "Oh, I love Ed. "He's the best of the world." But like in that moment, I was like, oh, we're watching a show. And I'm not just kind of like a voyeur in this. - It took me out of the world, yes. - So I wonder if like sharing so much of self, like we live in this fucking share culture where everybody knows everything about everyone. And I wonder if the advantage of the actor, the lifetime actors is us knowing nothing about them so they could just seamlessly become these people. Like Denzel Washington to me knows Kung Fu. Like, do you know what I mean? Like Keanu Reeves is a master at martial arts. - He might not be. - When did Denzel do Kung Fu? - Just in every movie where he can take away your gun or something like that. - Oh, okay. - Like Mike. - No, but like to me, I'm like, I think he could fuck somebody up. Like I kind of believe it. - Mm-hmm. - So it's, I wonder if the industry starts to go, okay, sharing your opinions with the world, it might be good for like a promotional pop initially, but the cost is every opinion you share is gonna potentially rub somebody the wrong way who has a different opinion. - But then at the same time, I feel a little sorry for the actor, I'm not sorry, but it's like I understand them wanting to get their personality out there because like me, for example, whatever actor, whatever your biggest role is, I just call you that. So it's like, like Keanu's forever just me out to them. - Go on, go on. - You know, so it's like, imagine having to be a famous actor and then people are just like, I love you. - I like you, the character name when you pass by. - Actually, it would be, - Yeah. - Piss me off. - This is the great advantage that like stand up comedians have. Like if you like us for our comedy, that's who we are. - Yeah. - Especially if you're not like playing a character. So it's like, if you like me for the things I say, I feel really validated when you go, hey, I love your stuff. And I wonder sometimes with actors, when somebody loves them, I wonder if in their head they're going, you don't know anything about me. You love, you love Neo from the Matrix. Like you don't love me. You love this character that this other person wrote. And I wonder if there's that little gap there. And some of them don't have an ego. Like I don't think Keanu has any fucking ego at all. It's like one of the most likable things about him. But I wonder if some of them are like annoyed. They're like, I got an entertainment because I want, you know, a validation from people and I want people to love me. And they don't actually love me. - Yeah. - They love these things. - I gotta be a little annoying. But then you could just look at your bank account in your lifestyle and be like, "Hey, you know what I'll do with it?" - You know what I'm saying? - Some of them, yeah. And I wonder if others are like, no, I gotta, I want to write my own thing. So you know, so I'm getting the validation for what I've created. - So now I have to ask you because now you're going the opposite direction. You're going from podcasting, comedy, where everybody knows you. - Yeah. - And now you're transitioning into Hollywood. So it's like, the veil's already down. So it's like, hurt you, help you. - It's like, are you gonna stop maybe?
be showing yourself? Like, do you have to restrict yourself? >> I like, there's certain things that I probably, I don't really share much of my family. Like if I am talking about my family, like the whole fucking last special, it's like, it's in a version I feel like safe. Like I didn't feel comfortable telling a joke about Shiloh until Lincoln. I was so, it was so hard for us to get pregnant. I was so superstitious. I was like, God forbid I tell a joke. And this is silly to think, but like in my head, I'm like, is God going to smite me? Like I'm saying one joke about this baby that we shouldn't have even had. >> Got a sense of humor, bro. >> I know. It's stupid. It's completely irrational thinking. >> I am aware of it, but I was so superstitious, you know, and but I do think that like, I think the roles, for example, that I've been offered and been able to do are roles that are not that dissimilar from who I am. >> Okay. >> Right. Like nobody's really asked me to act yet. >> Got you. But do you want to, do you want to get the role that forces you to Daniel Day Lewis yourself? >> No, I don't want to, I don't need to be my left foot. >> No. >> No. Like I would like to, like for me what's exciting is like, you know, obviously learning acting, learning how to be upset, learning how to tell stories and like learning what is good and what to avoid and like getting more comfortable with it. But also I would like to like right or be part of writing and creating something. And then like if that creation is supported, I'll feel validated by that. >> Got you. But I think just like being a character that's nothing. >> Podcast is safe, Gus. >> But like being a character that's nothing like me, you know, it's, I don't know, maybe there'd be something nice to like, you know, exist outside of yourself a bit. >> But yeah, I wonder if you get jealous of your creation. Like I wonder if that happens to me. >> Yeah. I can't see it not happening. That would piss me off. Yeah. >> Like what if you had, what if the thing you were most known for in the entire world? Was this something that like, I wonder this with like Steve Irkall. >> No, yeah. Are you trapped by it? >> Like you just called him Steve Irkall. >> Yeah, no, like. >> And the dude is, Gillil is not like Steve Irkall at all. Like Gillil is like a cool swagger dude. He played that character because he's a really fucking strong actor that could do it. But is there a version where he's like, I need to show I'm not that. I need to demonstrate that that's not why I'm pleased. >> That's who the world will see you as. >> That's what the kid stars do. Like Disney actors go through like their Disney stage and they'll do something that's like overtly sort of sexualized or something that breaks them out of like the kid version of who they were. >> Yeah, that happens a lot with like a children actor. >> That's why I think sometimes actors do like a movie where they're ugly. >> Oh, yeah, for sure. >> This is Jacob Allordian Frankenstein or like, Disney Swingley. >> It's not just 6-3 in pot. >> When Sydney Swingley was in the movie where she was the female boxer. >> Oh, Chrissy. >> Yeah, yeah, Chrissy. >> And it's like, okay, I'm known for being this beautiful human being. >> Yeah. >> And a great actor. But maybe there's just part of your head where you're like, am I just known for being hot? I got to play some ugly shit to show that my acting can carry. >> And then when it backfires, you're like, I got to be a hot shit. >> Yeah, I'm gonna hand made it. >> That shit backfires. So nobody watched that shit and she falls it up where, hey, I'm the hot girl that the husband cheats on me with. And boom, that movie goes box. >> You know what's crazy? That movie did 400 million, right? That movie is 400 million. And there's women that supported it. >> Yeah, cuz they hoes too. >> Women like beautiful women. >> Yeah. >> No, but like, the idea, I think for a lot of people, was like, oh yeah, put her in like a skinny little outfit and like show it off and then guys are gonna show up. No, that's a book women red. >> Really? >> If women read one of those books. >> That here. >> Oh, but they like that smut book shit. >> If I was a movie studio. >> I got it to it for a little bit. I was like, oh, he's a guy. >> What do you read? >> Fuck, one of the ones. >> Four point? >> Yeah, yeah. >> How was it? >> How was it? How was it watching? >> You know, that's going to be a movie that's a billion dollars. >> Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm tuning. I'm buying early. >> So what is the point? What is the premise? Because my wife was reading it. She started to talk to me about it. >> Yeah. >> And it was like, there's dragons in it and whatever. >> Yeah, like dragons fairies. >> You're not going to make fun of me for watching sci-fi ever again. You know what I mean? If you watch it, if you're watching Girl Game of Thrones, like, yeah. >> Yeah. >> So what's the premise of it? >> Honestly, Miles, you could probably do a better job than me because I don't know. >> I don't know, 4th Wing. >> No. >> I never reached 4th Wing. >> He was like, it was so funny. >> I was a man. >> I'll read that gay shit, bro. >> I know. >> No, I'm just using that nerd stuff, bro. >> No, he's like, oh, read the gay shit. I just hang out with the gay shit. >> 4th Wing by Rebecca Yarros is the first book in the Imperian series, a popular fantasy romance novel about Violet Soren Gale, who was forced to join a brutal war college for Dragon Riders, despite her fragile body facing deadly challenges and ruthless wing leaders, Zaden Ryerson, who is also her enemy. The book is known for its romanticy. Oh, that's what they're calling smut. >> Oh, wow. >> Anyways, the dragons are supposed to choose you, and then apparently she's just some weakling, but she's special and somehow two dragons end up choosing her. So she's the only girl who got two dragons, and then she-- >> Miles, this is feeling game of thronesy Miles. >> I might check it out. I might have to look up on it. >> It's good. >> A lot of smudge it. >> Anyway, if I was a studio, I'm buying up every novel that women read, and I'm buying up every video game. You probably can't even afford them now, but I'm buying every video game. >> Well, this is like that post-Harry Potter thing. >> Tell me. >> Harry Potter comes out. It's a sensation, crazy sensation, and then they do every book after that has a young teen who's going through the world and has something similar to that. You had Ergon, you had the Katniss one, where the Hunger Games-- >> So Hunger Games, yeah. >> I mean, even all the way to the Vampire one, where the guy sparkles. >> Twilight? >> Twilight. >> That's all post-Harry Potter. >> They're all picking up. >> Trying to make the next one. >> My wife told me that there was a line at Barnes and Noble when the new Harry Potter would drop. >> I used to wait in those at midnight. >> That's how pop in-- >> That's great. >> Think about this. That's how pop in a book. Can you remember a line at Barnes and Noble? >> No. Only one that I saw where I sneaker drops. >> It was sneaker drops. It would be like-- remember, sometimes a movie would come out on Thursdays. >> Yeah, Thursdays have to be big. >> And then it would be late. It would be midnight, Thursday. You would see a movie theater crazy. I haven't seen a line at a movie theater in a minute. That's another thing. I remember on 14th Street, there was a union square. Do you ever go down? >> Oh, yeah. >> There would be a line down a block. >> And then, back and now, I'm aging myself, but a new CD would drop. >> Oh, hell yeah. >> Like, wait for it. >> Tower records? >> Yeah. >> Because there was only a few spots to get them, so. >> Yeah, I wonder-- yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm trying to think, that is the one issue with the consumption-- not one issue, but that's an issue with consumption online. Like, watching things streaming. It's not only-- I don't even care being in the movie theater watch something with somebody else, but in the same way that, like, when you go to a theme park, the line waiting to get on to the ride, there's like some-- like, there's an energy and excitement in that line. That's kind of what I felt a little bit like going to a movie. >> Yeah. >> You know, especially a big drop. You know, like everybody-- >> It doesn't seem like you go to movies anymore. >> Nah, bro. I mean, I think the last one I saw was Wicked One. >> Wow. >> Was there another one since? >> Wow. >> Yeah, the Wicked Two came out. >> I didn't see that one, I don't think. >> Yeah. >> I still go to movies. I like movies. >> What was the last one you saw? >> Oh, I saw Marty Supreme in theaters. I think there was something else I saw recently. Oh, I saw Wicked Two. Yeah, I think those were the last two. >> Yeah. >> All right, guys, take a break for a second, because I got to tell you about row nutrition, okay?

Are you going to see Doom? Yeah. I'm excited for Doom. When is Doom come out, Joey? On November 18th. What? Oh, we got. I got tickets to Project Hill, Mara. All right. I'm excited. Why are they putting a trailer now? Well, because I've built a height. I imagine they thought Timmy was going to win. Oh, fuck. Yeah. I'm ready to drop. Oh, Timmy. You fucked it up, bro. No, that's not Timmy. You fucked it up, Timmy. Yo, you dropped a bag, bro. Here's a question. If you never says anything about ballet or opera, no, or can we put on our little conspiracy heads? Okay? The craziest conspiracy is obviously like, you know, some publicist or whatever was trying to bury his name leading up to this campaign, right? A publicist that obviously represented either Michael B or maybe one of the other people there, right? That's the most crazy. That's it. The chalibate there. Yeah. Yeah. That shouldn't it. Yeah. People are going to do that right now. Like as I'm talking, I feel like one of the New York Times journalists, I have to be very delicate without it, but like he goes, so, so here's the, I don't think anybody, I don't think anybody is going, oh, let's snip that and put that out in the world and make Timmy look bad because I don't think there's anybody at a publicist's office that could possibly think people could give a fuck about ballet or opera. Like definitely opera. None of y'all even know where an opera house is. None of y'all can name a song in opera. Yeah. And then like, so ballet may be a little bit more. So but there is a thing when something does gain traction, can you juice it? I think gas it. They just saw the moment, like if you look at, who is that? The producers of that interview, they saw that moment how uncomfortable he was. You think they, you think they released it? Yeah. And I don't even think with the intention of like, oh, let's harm him. They're just like, oh, this is going to be a good clip. Which interview are we talking about with McConaughey? You see how uncomfortable Shalma gets immediately. He's like, oh, fuck, I just, 14 cents, I just lost on viewership. And then now he's like, then he tries to sing some opera to try to like, you know, get back in their good graces. Like he knows it's an uncomfortable moment. And they're like, oh, this is a clip right here. Who we not make that would. If they put out that clip themselves, that's nasty. Yeah. It's a variety. They put the clip out. That's nasty work. I didn't know they released the clip themselves and they put out the interview. Yes. Oh, that's crazy. Yeah. Yeah, if I'm a star of a movie, I don't think they thought it was going to go get this bet. Well, what they think it was going to do is going to win them the Oscar. There's no way. Really? Not. They're just like, yo, we need these views. We need these clicks. Oh, you already got McConaughey and Timmy. They agreed to do this. Neither of them are making any money. Yeah. I love to take my worst moments. I'm kidding. But is that? Yeah. Is that the internet? Do we have it? Do we have it? Do we have it? Tell the people the commercial we shot, how you took my one line. I fucked up. That's amazing. Can you tell them? Yeah. We have that. You have the crack in the commercial that we did for the holidays. And what's the line you're supposed to say? I was like, well, you want to play the fiddle. Yeah. You want me to play the fiddle boss? Yeah. You want me to play the fiddle boss, right? I'll say that right, like five or six times. Mad tops. And then one time he goes, he goes, you want me to play the flute horn, too? And I was like, this is the funniest thing that Al could possibly say. And I was shocked. It made sense in the edit. Yeah. No one called it out. Nobody. That's it. It looked like we wrote it. Acting. See? I mean, sometimes the star is right here. I think the problem with the way that we act when we shoot sketches is like, not a single line that was written is what we said. What'd you mean? Like, I got a lot of respect for people who just like write a show. And if you just say those lines, it's going to be funny and great. I'm going to do it. Sorry. Oh, shit. Hey. Oh, yeah, you got it. Here I go. There. You want me to play the flute horn? I can't believe it all happens now. It's okay, Chris. You almost break it. I almost break it, because right there I go playing again, playing again. It doesn't. Right. The horse picks and buries. Oh, picking. Like, what else do they do there? Do you want me to play the flute horn? The flute horn out? [LAUGHTER] What do you want me to do? I want you to just get stuck. Yeah. [LAUGHTER] And then it gets such a big laugh in the room. And I was like, oh, fuck, this is going to be a one. Yeah, this is going to be a one. This is going to be a one. But that's how all great things are shot. I think there's a famous scene where a guy breaks his leg in hot rod and he's doing a jump and he lands it like a hundred times, then the final one he falls, breaks his leg and they go, we're going to use one where he breaks his leg and falls. And like, all great like the office or like 30 rock, there's so many cutscenes where they have to move the camera because someone's laughing. It's so much better. Who has some bangers? What's the guy's name, man? I can't plan for getting his name. The actor from the office. He's also a garden's in the galaxy. Oh, Chris Pratt. Chris Pratt. He's in the 30 rock. Is he the director? No, he's not the, he's not the best one. He's had the best one. Bring up some of his shit from Parks and Rec. I keep wiping and it just is there. That's a one where Aubrey Plaza breaks and they have to move the camera and she looks away. Yeah. Dude, there was a, there was a key and peel sketch where it was like a rap battle or something. I don't know. Did you see this one? No, I probably seen it, but there's a key and peel sketch where they have people watching in the back, right? And what they're doing to one another, I don't know if you can bring it up, Joey. But what they're doing to one another, the battle, whatever it is, they, it's so funny that they tell the extras. If you have to laugh, turn around. Watching it again, knowing that it's so funny because you just look at the people in the background. I don't know where I'm just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. See if you can get that sketch. Let's see this. Yeah, watch some of Chris's was Chris Pratt, comedian. I think he did stand up a couple times. He said that I think to Bill Maher and then he then he did mostly come here to act and wait. Oh, are you aware of what Tennessee's, what point comes after this, white, I did not know he's as funny. I have hot snakes. Hot snakes. It's when the diarrhea comes out like a hot snake, a white, a white, a white, a hundred times, still poop, still poop. It's like I'm wiping a marker or something. And practice. Yeah, great. Gritz Pratt is that dude, though. He's so hot. Yeah. There's so many good shows that just I can watch the bloopers, a TikTok will come up and it'll be the bloopers and I'll be like, all right, five minutes of this. Here we go. Is he the one in that weird ass religion? No, no, no. I thought he got in trouble being in a weird religion. No, he just got in trouble for believing in God. Yeah, he just, his tento's down on Christian. He's like, I'm a Christian and they're like, you fucking animal. Why do we hate it now? Listen, we're in a, what are we in? I don't even know what to call it because you don't really, you don't get fired, but we are in like outrage. We're just again in outrage culture where it's just like everybody's angry at everything. But usually that means things are good. Explain that. That's it. Like when things are good, it's like you have to search for stuff to be outraged about. Usually that's a good sign. You know, that's a great point. We're in things are horrible, and that's why this shit is too exhausting. It's like, there's enough shit to actually be outraged by it. You don't got to be upset about opera. But right now we're upset at war and opera with the same level of vitriol. Oh, I can't take it. I'm damned about to slip my wrist every other day. Wait, wait. You just got tattooed. You go cut. - Wow, that's so cute. again. You can't kill Martin Luther King twice. No. Don't let the white people win. I'm gonna give him a lineup. Nice lineup. Okay. I got black leaders on his wrist just so he doesn't kill himself. That's how much I was trying to make it through the next day. Oh, you're getting on that left forearm, bro. Got to hit this so I can finish the job. No, he was on the right side of his career. Yeah, right? Finish the job. There you go. All right, play this key of you. This should crack me a fuck up. What the fuck? How do you make a show that's just bloopers? This, I mean, America's funny some videos. No, no, I mean, like, like, how do you make a scripted show? I think I think you can't because the bloopers are what you're watching because they did it right for so long. You need them. You need a show to be beloved for 10 seasons to get great bloopers out of it. I don't need. I don't know if that's the case because like, even at the end of movies when we're kids, there'd be like the blooper reel. That's two hours of commitment to the characters. Sure. Sure. Sure. But like, eight episodes. There is something funny to inherently about seeing like you even watch an SNL sketch and when someone breaks, oh, yeah, it's funnier than the point is. And it's just like, maybe we're craving like real authentic moments. Like some of us, some of us ask me this the other day, they're like, do you laugh? It's stand up. And I'm like, yeah, like, I'm like a laffer. I like to, like, if something's funny, I'd like to give it up. But like, I do also like think about it when I'm watching somebody funny. I'm like, oh, that's a good bit. Like, I'll, it's like an analysis. But when something happens that's not supposed to happen, I fucking die. Yeah, yeah. I say that. Frank's get me because the other person is authentically reacting. You know, I just love the thing that comics do when you guys are in the room watching other comics, you guys just laugh incredibly loud. Yeah. Like, like, yeah. It's support. Yeah. Like, what? Yeah. What are you doing? It's like, it's like one of these unread rooms that you're like, what a baseball player tips the hat or something like that? It's, I think it's yeah, I do know you're talking. They all do is it. You're trying to build the room a little bit. No, no, it's more, I think it's more just a message to the comedian. Like, oh, that was a good joke. Okay. Like, oh, you popped us. Oh, okay. That was fire. Do you like when you hear the comic that laughs a little laugh? Always validating when you hear your peers laugh. Got you. Okay. All right, it's always what I should. That shit is so funny to be like, they'll be in the court. It's just like, yeah, it does throw some shit off. On at some level, there is probably like an attention-seeking nature to it, you know? But like, I think the main core of it is like, hey, that was an awesome joke, and I would like you to know that I know. Which is great. It's like, we ever hear like a director talk about another director. Like, savory. Yeah. Or like, even a musician talk about it, is it? You're just like, you imagine what that other musician or director is feeling in that moment. You're like, oh, he's got a lot of Quentin Tarantino is just saying how incredible this person is. Oh, yeah. If you get in love from your peers, that's, yeah, yeah. Yeah. That's dope. That is fire. Yeah, so I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen in the world, man. So you've been stressed. Yeah, but it's a lot to do with the seasonal depression. I get that every winter. And I think are you out of it now that we had some good days towards a tail end, but it's still whatever. You know, it's got to suck when people are depressed in the winter. And then like, the summer comes and they're still depressed. And they're just like, oh, I got that shit all season. But like that feeling. Yeah. Like, what you think? Oh, it's just winter. The second some sun comes out and that sun's hitting you just like, I still want to jump off this building and feel the sun coming down. No, that's not yet. That's why I feel it's like real pussy shit that it's like it's not pussy. It's a lot of people like to show, it's like really like, you know, my girl gives me no sympathy. Oh, you're at that stage. Oh, yeah, yeah. She's like, well, come on. This is this is something you just tell yourself. You are married, bro. You wait till they have a kid to take care of. You can't be tired again. The women own exhaustion once you have a kid. What I used to get sick. She used to take care of it. She's like, oh, let me know when you're feeling better. I'm like, the fuck? My wife gives me one out. Where's the Supercell, man? My wife is an amazing woman. She's incredibly supportive, incredible. She I cannot be sick from more than one hour to to the point where and I like making sounds. Like, when I'm hungry, you'll hear me talk about it. When I'm sick, you're gonna hear me talk about it. And she got like one hour of tolerance for that. And after that, she just ignores me. When I'm making sounds in front of you, I want you to react to those sounds. Like, I'm like, oh, I want you to be like, is your stomach okay? Yeah. She'll just go the other way. That's cool. She knows that's not how she. Yeah. So why is she not there yet? She'll still react to the sounds. She thinks I'm being a pussy. She's like, man up. She's like, I haven't slept in three years. She's been calling me that all with. She says you're a pussy straight up. Not straight up. Not straight up. That's fine. I was talking about it in group. Well, I was talking. It was me, her and one of my friends. And I was like, discussing it. And she just, I rolled. So I made do that. She was like, and he pointed out he's like, what she did? She's like, you know, it's a New York thing. I'm like, the fuck is on a New York thing? I said, you know, she's white, bro. Because if she was from Spain, if she was Spanish, very sun, you know, culture. They got a lot of sun over it. They don't suffer from low vitamin deals. If she was, if she was a Spanish Latina, she would be cooking you fucking a roast con pollo. She'd be trying to nurse you back to hell. She should be trying to get me fat right now. That mom would never. That's true. That's why I haven't told my mom because my mom would have, she would have then then moved in. Really? Yeah. She's like that. Yeah. She's a nice move back to New York for a little bit, man. Not you taking camera. I have another nephew. I got, I got two now. What's the second one named? Alexander. After you? Yeah. But you're not even really Alexander. Why are you out of, why are you out of kill it? Hold on. Why are you out of kill it? Hold on. Your sister named her kid after your stage name. Why can't it just be after me? That's like naming somebody's kid M and M. That would be fine. Marshall, you go with the real name. Do people know your real name? I'm not going to say because I know it's something you're embarrassed of. No, I'm not embarrassed about it. I just like to keep the separation. It's no embarrassment. So did she ask you, "Hey, do you want me to name it off your real name or your stage name?" No. She was like thinking about several names. I threw Alexander out there. Well, I threw Alex with two exes out there. She was. She wouldn't do the two exes. I'm still trying to be like, it's still early enough, you can change it. But yeah, so she compromised. She gave me the Alexander. Yeah, I know it's fire. And how did her husband feel about this? Oh, so he's British and they do like long names. So it's like, he got two of his names in the whole shit. It's like Alexander, Montecu, James, something. He's like five or six names in it. You threw a Montague in there? I think so. I don't know if she wants me to tell all this. Now Montague is Shakespeare, my boy. He has a fire name. It's a nice, strong name. Can somebody tell me? It's like royalty, the Montague's and the Catholics. Jesus, Alex, we were so close of just moving on. Don't put don't royals. Fuck kids. Ain't that what they know for now? There is a royal. I mean, historically, probably, or they fuck cousins that they do. There you go. One hundred percent. So that, so they're from Alabama. Yeah, that that gene pool is a kiddie pool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's just the shallow way. But like, all right, what are you supposed to do if you're a royal back in a day? Right? Yeah. And marriage got nothing to do with if you love someone or not. Okay. It's just, I would imagine. And, you know, obviously you guys tap in here. I imagine it's just about consolidating power. Yeah. Right? It's like, we got to have another kid be. So if I don't have a kid, which is crazy pressure, if I don't have a kid, a man, a boy, a boy, this whole kingdom goes to somebody else, okay. Wild pressure. You could see why that king cut the wife's head off. Oh, Henry. Yes. Give me a boy. That boy in there. No. But yeah, like that, that's insane pressure. You've got to have a fucking boy. You're just man. And then you're marrying somebody who's either like, I don't even know if they can marry nobility. They got to marry another royal. Yeah. Yeah. So how many kingdoms are there even in Europe? You got six different families that you can even choose somebody from. Yeah. So eventually, they're all kind of related at some point, right? Yeah. That was the thing I think about World War One. Like, it was just a bunch of cousins at war with each other. That's crazy. Right? Yeah. And you couldn't have just worked that out. People, you know, rich people. Family and shit dude. That's what that's what I'm also figured out.
They're like, you know how rich people don't pay taxes? - Who are you? - No, I pay too much. - No, well, you know you're rich enough, that's it. - I know, yes, I know this. But you know how they don't pay taxes? And how annoying that is? That's what it feels like when skinny people take ozempic. (laughing) Right, if that same feeling's like, you already got it. Like you fucking got it already. Why do you need to go more with it? - But then the thing, it's like, they end up taking too much and then they look fucking horrible. - Yeah, it's like karma. - Go do it, you know what I mean? - What are your thoughts on the ozempic thing? You're someone who's fluctuating in weight, you're always-- - I got close to it. - I got close to taking it if I couldn't get my weight down. 'Cause remember, I had a, what's it called? High blood sugar, yeah. - Wait, so you would have a medical reason to do it? - No, no, so October of 2024, I was pre-diabetic. I got a physical, I was pre-diabetic. - No way. - Yeah, so my doctor put me on metformin. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And then I cut out all sugar. I went on like a super keto diet. I dropped like almost 30 pounds in about four months. But if I wasn't able to lose it and get my sugar on track, I would have did the shit. - I didn't know that you were, do you eat that much sugar? - You see me. - Yeah, but you're so diligent about your diet usually that like you can't control yourself. - But then I go off and then it goes crazy. - Whoa. - So now it has to be all in nothing. - Well. - So I just don't do any sugar. - It doesn't have to be all in nothing, it has to be nothing. - It has to be nothing, that's what I mean. - Because if it's all, you're gonna lose a foot. - Yes. - So now it's just nothing. - Yeah. - I can, every time there's somebody's birthday, I don't indulge. - I need to understand your relationship. - Speaking of your birthday tomorrow. - Oh yeah. - How you got a snitch? - How old are you gonna be? - 35. - My ass. Even 35 for four years. - Save, that's not it. - No, what are you, what are you really turning? - 39. - This is the worst birthday. - 40 is liberating. - Yeah, because you was liberating. - 40, you're the youngest old. - You're the oldest young right now. - I still look good for my age though. - Nobody's questioning that. - You're on that form and you're on that form. (laughing) - You're cheating. - Not now. - I'm actually like, I'm not sure I'm gonna jack. So I'm off everything. - And you're not just continuing it? - Yeah. - I've been taking a fucking stat in every single day. - I have no clue what it really does, yeah. - Oh, but that's for your heart, that's different. - What's up with my heart? - I mean, you probably calcifying some arteries. - So I thought calcium was good until like two years. (laughing) - My whole childhood was like, oh, you need to get your calcium. You need to get calcium, you need to get calcium. - Yeah, I know, they tell us. - I had so much of it that my heart is a fucking stone. - Yeah. - So I had to get on the stand. - I used to drink milk with like meals. I was one of those families. - Yeah, me too. - Oh yeah? - I would have milk like after exercise. I'd be like, and then drink milk. What an insane thing to do right now. - I know, I know. - If I have cereal, do this is how old I am. If I have cereal, I have to be delicate with the amount of milk. - What? - Because I just won't be able to walk for the rest of the day. Like, I'll just feel stomach pains for the entire day. I used to put a whole bowl of milk in this. - Oh yeah. - I want milk last milk after. - I want milk after, I might want to put the more cereal in there. Let's soak that shit. - Oh yeah. - And then back like a good two-times. - Of course. - Then you got to do the balance of a little more cereal, a little more milk. - I got a third of milk in there. - Milk got too warm. You got to have more milk. - I got more milk. I got a third of milk in there and then I'm mashing the cereal into the bottom of the bowl. - Okay, now that's great. - That's great. - And bite can get a little bit of milk. - That's good. - Yeah. - That's great. - It's true, that are not being able to walk for a day because I had a bowl of cereal at 42 years old. - Yeah. - Yeah, nobody told you this. - Yeah, I can't do cereal anymore, too. - Oh, the best part is when you get the end of the cereal bag if you're doing something sweet. - Oh, it's just the crumble sugar at the end and that last sip of milk is. - Yeah. - Oh man. - Good old days. - You guys are talking about my drug of choice there. - Serial, right? - Serial is my biggest drug. Like I could give up drinking tomorrow. - What you got in the cabinet right now? - I got it all out there. - I got healthy shit. I got bad shit. - Give me the whole cabinet right now. - The unhealthy stuff is going to be- - Start with healthy. - Oh, start with healthy. - Yeah. - Special K. - Red barriers. - Because that's what I have. - I've heard it's not that healthy. - I know. - That's what I'm talking about. I'm so passionate. - The special K when we were kids- - We thought we were like eating salad. - It was salad. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And it was a different color, different texture. I think it had less sugar on it. Like they turned special canes of frosted flakes without telling us. - Do you remember when it tasted like a kid when we were kids? - I wasn't doing a special K. I was doing all the bad ones. - Sign. - I was sitting in toast crunch. - I have that. - I was in toast crunch. - Yeah. - I was in somebody's house and there's just a bowl of little cookies. - He's like, "I need cookies." - He's like, "I need cookies." - He's like, "I need cookies," he's like, "I need cookies." - He's like, "I need cookies." - He's like, "I need cookies." - I don't like the chronic cereal. - The chronic cereal, that's my one issue. - I go to that bodega at night, and this guy knows me so well. This guy yoga, hardly speaks English. And he just, if I don't buy cereal, he's like, are you okay? Like, is everything alright? - That's funny. - Yeah. - Wait, did you hit us with the unhealthy shit yet? Crunchberries? - The crunchberries. - Yeah, crunchberries. I really like Reese's puffs. - Reese's puffs. - Yeah, that's too much. - That's too much. I can't it's too sweet now. - And it's, it gets on the top of here. - Never too sweet. - Never too sweet. - There's nothing too sweet. - No, you got a thing. - You got a real thing, huh? - Yeah. That's crunch. Cinnamon toast crunch rules. - I only chocolate one I like is cocoa pebbles. - Yeah, cause honey nut Cheerios. And then add honey on top. I thought I was being like, I was cultured. - Ooh. - Cause I was adding honey. - I was adding sugar. - And I was still the honey package from McDonald's. - You know what I'm talking about? - So fell. - Don't know about Dr. and your own zeros. - My mom would buy the Cheerios with no sweetener. Or whatever. - Oh my God. - Kellogg's. What was it called? - Like the off phrase? - I was regular Cheerios. - Okay. - Cornflakes or not honey nut Cheerios, just Cheerios. - Cheerios, yeah. - And then she would put the sugar on herself. - Yeah. - Like some old, like she was from communism or somebody. - Yeah. - And like, I'm not gonna lie. Putting your own sugar on the cornflakes. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Don't leave that up to Kellogg's, bro. - I did that. - We've got to do that at home. - Yeah. - We've got to do that. - We on the honey nut Cheerios is weird. Cause I don't think it would mix in. - Bro. - You gotta keep. - You gotta keep. - Do it. - I'm telling you, it's nice. - It's nice. - It's nice. milk out of the fridge and give it one
little shake because she had powdered milk sometimes as a kid. She didn't have a ton of money. And we'd always laugh because she'd take it out. >> Well, what? That is. >> I always shake the milk. You guys don't shake the milk. >> Let's break up clumps. Man, it's like, yeah. >> I think your milk just went bad. >> No, no, I never, dude, the way I was getting cereal, our milk didn't make it through the night. Like, we were doing a gallon in high school, in high school, the gain weight because I was so thin and small. Like, Google, like, how can I gain weight? What can I do? And I'd lift every day and I'd drink a gallon of milk a day. Go mad. >> Wow. >> Legit, a gallon of milk a day, the whole milk or two percent every day for like a year. >> He'd do like a milk drink. >> Son. >> He got it. >> He got it. >> That's crazy. >> Yeah, my dad got prescribed a milkshake a day from a doctor when he was a kid. That's what medicine was back in a day. People don't realize. That's why you can't trust these vaccines. >> What? >> These doctors won't prescribe anything. >> Jokes about vaccines, please don't clip us. >> But yeah, that was the prescription. He was a skinny ass kid. They wanted him to put on weight and the doctor was like, I'm milkshake. >> A milkshake a day. >> Yeah, I wish I had that problem. You know what, you know what, I wanted today the fucking shamrock joint. >> Ooh, shamrock shake from McDonald's. >> It's a shamrock shake. >> The green one. >> Oh, from McDonald's. It's like a McFlurry or something like that. >> Yeah, but they only do it on St. Patties. >> And you're not going to do it. >> I was over. I was, I'm not going to walk and get it myself. Did you ever get, come out. >> Wait, why not, now? >> No, I mean, I wanted for the show, but I didn't want to go all the way up to canal. >> Okay, all right. >> It's the only place I got other people to do stuff. >> Bullshit. Bullshit, what are you saying, my son? >> What are you saying, my son? >> Bullshit, you go and talk, what are you saying, my son? Bullshit. >> I was just talking about, you were talking about things you can get at McDonald's that are seasonal. Were you ever hyped about the McRib? >> No, I never got that shit. >> What? >> I never understood it. >> You're eating a McRib. >> Deadass. >> You're a sitting boy, bro. >> This is easier. >> This is rich. >> Fucking rich community people. >> Yeah, yeah. You guys grew up with a beach community. I didn't really, I'm really in these streets. And the reality in the matter is that McDonald's is a business that is made for profitability. If that shit was supposed to be eaten or legal to eat, all year round, they would keep it on them. >> They would keep it. >> They would keep it on them. >> Oh, yeah. I remember when he dipped off and went to the McDonald's and he wanted to see it. I should, yeah. >> It's the thing you got to do. >> No, not perfect. >> No, not perfect. >> The whole bracket perfect. >> Oh, okay. >> I don't think it's ever done Warren Buffett used to sort of offer this. >> The closest known attempt was in 2019 when a bracket went 49 games without a mistake before breaking. >> Wow. >> It's harder than lottery. Now, this is why I think it's brilliant. So nobody wonders, nobody is thinking like, I can do it. But if you are going to fill out a bracket, if you're going to do one bracket, would you not do it in the place that you could win a billion dollars. >> Oh, absolutely. I don't even do this bracket, but I'm going to try. >> What's the buy-in for it? >> I don't know. We should look at that. Figure out what the buy-in. >> It's like, you lost your million dollars. >> I wonder if that's just free, Loki. >> Yeah, I would imagine it's free. >> It might just be free. >> Yeah. >> So then how the fuck they all pay out? >> Well, this is how it works. It's actually really interesting. But I imagine just signing up is the thing that's valuable. And then maybe when you sign up and trade on games or whatever. But this is the genius. So the way these things work. Like when somebody does like a half-court shot in an NBA game. >> The team doesn't pay you if you win. >> Yeah. >> The team pays an insurance company a much smaller amount. >> Mm-hm. >> And the insurer covers the win if they hit it. >> Oh, wow. >> So with this, I don't know what the deal is, but I'm curious. It's like, nobody's ever done in history. So for the insurance, it's a pretty safe bet. >> Mm-hm. >> But how much do you have to pay to get a billion dollars? Of insurance? >> Yeah. >> Does Calci go, okay, here's 10 million? Okay, how to claim your free Calci billion-dollar bracket entry? >> Wow. >> You got to visit Calci, create a new account. Anyway. So this is a perfect example, right? Economy's fucking shit. Everybody needs a dollar. There's a free option to win one billion dollars. >> This is dangerous. >> Listen, I'm saying it here right now. You ready? >> You ready? >> A couple of Nancy Carrigan's taking out knees, bro. >> Well, it's dangerous. >> You know what I thought with this is like, and I guess you can't do it. It's like every account is verified. Like, Calci actually is different than the other ones where like, they take your fucking information and she's like, they take your social security, whatever. But like, my first thought before I realized that was, with AI, why don't we use Clawd or Chatchy BT or whatever to create half a million accounts and just try every permutation you possibly could. >> Oh, you fucking them over, right? >> Well, no, but they make sure that they verify that you're a person. That's the shitty way that we can't rip them off. >> I mean, we got the migrants. >> Son, exactly. We got them in the hotel. You give ease one in iPad and it's like, yo, all day. >> Yeah. >> All day. You've got to be signing up their accounts. >> It's one in 9.2 quintillion though. >> Quintillion, the chances. But again, it doesn't matter. I'm saying this here right now. I think this year, somebody doesn't. I don't know if they're going to do it through them and they're going to fucking wish they did. >> But I, for some reason, feel this year is the year somebody gets it. >> And then that's a bit like. >> That's great. Yeah, I got it. I'm doing it. >> Look, don't you feel like I feel like I'm going to do it. >> I'm lucky. I'll be getting mad, lucky. >> One in 9.
- 2.2 couldn't do. - Yeah, I got lucky. I got this. And I think you gotta go about it, not looking at the seeds really. I'll hit you off with a mill. How much would you give me if you won a billion dollars? A mill. What? (laughing) Just one. You got a billion. All right, the government is gonna take half. So now you're at 500. 500, though. (laughing) - You know. (laughing) - How's mom gonna be living in the same house she never before had a billion. Let me tell you that. - No one can do that. - I'll pay it off. (laughing) - You're in a beach community, mom. (laughing) Don't you love the women by the ocean? The salt air? - Hitting your nostrils. - All right, guys.

And we thank Blue Choo for sponsoring this podcast. So let's get back to the show. Yo, we were talking about this. Actually, we didn't talk about it on brilliant, but some people are thinking about moving out of America. Yes. What about that? I'm, I'm looking at Spain. Is this, is this a different reaction than, remember when like Rosie O'Donnell and like, who is the other lesbian, Ellen, like they're like, I'm leaving the country. And then I think they ended up coming back or do you think this is fundamentally different, like people reacting to what is happening and them not feeling comfortable? Yeah, I think the latter because it's like, you're just looking at the direction things are going in and it's like, and he's getting more and more brazen with the stuff that he's doing. Like it's, it's low key scare me and I think the economy is going to collapse because right now the, we don't want to get political, but whatever, like the way we went after Venezuela, China can go after Taiwan and we can't say shit. And if that happens and Nvidia stock gets affected, our whole stock market collapses. That's the thing I don't understand about Taiwan and I understand that these systems are complex and like Taiwan doesn't just, we had a, what's his face on here on this pot? Oh man, what was his name? Geopolitical expert. Indie guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he was saying how like, he was saying like these chip processing places, like they rely on 15 different countries to even execute the chip, like this country doing this thing and this country doing that thing. So it's not just them, but it is shocking to me that chip processing that our entire stock market is kind of relying on the same way that the, you know, during like the dot com era and stock market was like really heavily dependent on these, these, these dot com stocks, these tech stocks. It is crazy to me that like we would allow it to exist in this foreign country that could be invaded at any point of time, that we wouldn't try to shift that over here. And maybe that's what they're trying to do now, but like difficult, it's just must be the machine and bring it over here, you must be that difficult and imagine if you have something and you're the only place in the world that can do that shit, you're not giving that up to nobody. You might give it up to the people that are making sure that you're not Chinese, you know what I mean? True. Yeah. But so you're, you're really concerned about like economic downturn. Now the question would be where would you go because I imagine these other places aren't like impervious to the negative effects of a global economic collapse. Yeah, but there's a lot of places in Europe that like they kind of don't get involved with this shit. Like Spain is one of these places like, yo, do you think we're not involved, like leave us alone? And they're not like, of course everybody's going to be affected, but I think the euro will hold up a little bit more than the dollar will. I don't know. Again, I don't know enough, but like I think it like, look, if the American economy takes a massive, massive hit, yeah, we're the biggest consumers in the world, bro. The whole world does not want that to happen. So it's like, well, what the fuck, like if ever you've got other country that's making shit, all of a sudden doesn't have their biggest buyer, what does that, what happens to there? Economies. That's right. I'd rather be in a place where people are used to getting by with less. Well, that's, that's a decision that you can make for sure, which is like here, it's going to get a little crazy. It's going to get a little crazy. I think it's really, and would there be a place here that you would consider going and it doesn't have to be like some boogey-ass place, but just like a community that you're like, you know what? This is kind of insulated. I like the lifestyle here. I like how people live. And I don't think it will be as reliant on tech stocks that are all, I don't know of any. Like can you think of any? Yeah. Where? I mean, you know, you probably go up state. Yeah, I guess. I mean, there's probably tons of places that you could go to where, you know, these are just like nice insulated communities. Matter of fact, why would you still cold upstate it's still like, hey, you want some good things? Yeah. I'm going to pick some places. So you really just looking for an excuse to leave America and you're trying to blame it on the economy? Yeah. Yeah. It's looking a lot. It's not looking good. Yeah. Well, what it would, but it's not like, I'm trying to, I'm just, I want the option. If she goes down, I want to be able to. So like, I'm doing. I want to go down, look like to you. I don't know. I honestly did stock market collapsing and then people being hungry and then fighting crowd. Oh, you're worried about like, yeah. People in uprising. Yes. Whoa. Yeah. Whoa. Yeah. Well, yeah. That makes things very different. It's already pretty tight and no one's doing anything to make things better. Bro, it's, yeah, it is, it is a concern. I never, yeah. I didn't think about like violent uprisings because of like economic downturn. Yeah. I thought about violent uprisings because of like systemic issues and like fighting for people's rights and fighting for their livelihood. Like that's something that I think that we've, you know, seen in our lifetime. That's simply from the point of like we need food and we're going to go attack something because it's like that's a motherfuckers are getting fired with AI and it's going to keep happening. So that's faster and faster. Okay. So that's, that's the thing, right? Like the existential crisis of AI. Everybody is concerned about that. Like there's these conversations about entry level jobs. I'm sure you've heard of. Yeah. But now it's even white college jobs. Of course, of course. Like I think what, what at least from what I've read, complete casual to this, but like they're saying that it could wipe out 30 to 40% of entry level jobs, meaning like the assistant work or like, you know, a junior editor, for example, instead of, you know, organizing files and setting up these different editing documents. You can have your, I guess, clawed potentially organizing for you, et cetera. So that would limit 100% and then anthropic release something the other day that says like, oh, coding jobs, doctors, law, assistant, so whatever like, you have to get, go to college for it. So here's my question about that. This is not the first time that there's been like transformative technological advancements. There's no question that there's going to be a period where like, people are going to lose jobs, but has in history shown us that like other jobs will sprout up around the technological advancement. So I do.
like computers come around and they wipe out whatever the fuck they wipe out. But now you have all these computer technician jobs, you have people that are creating new types of computers, you have competitive coding companies that are like trying to develop, you know, more sophisticated programs. Does that also continue and do the jobs just shift in that direction? Potentially, but I think it's going to happen to too many people too quickly and there's not going to be enough of the new jobs available for all the people out of work. Right. And that that also could be the case. I just can't see a world where we create enough new jobs for everybody to pivot to. Right. And when that happens, our country already fights over how much taxes we pay and handouts this and that and socialism, like, I don't think we're coming to the help of people. Well, I mean, that's going to be the circumstance where it's just like, people are going to need money to survive and the economy is going to need liquidity to survive. And by liquidity, I mean, like, people are going to need to buy things. Yeah, you can plump some money into the economy for a while. So does it end up being like that universal basic income situation where where it actually they're not doing it because they're like, oh, we're worried that you're hungry. They're doing it because they're like, Apple still needs to sell phones. Right. And we still need to make sure that there is money being exchanged in this economy. But think about the resentment that's going to build between people who work in people who get free money. Well, what's the reason we already have the resentment right now for people on fucking welfare? Yeah, but I feel like if go go miles, the U of UBI would be universal. Everyone gets paid. Yeah, but I'm still like the people at home not working versus the people who work, even if you get the extra money, they're still going to be some resentment. It's like you stand home. It's not going to be the lifestyle of the person who has the same thing that's happening right now to people on food stamps and people still complain about those people. Yeah, but that's wack, bro. Like I don't think like really wealthy people are worried about people on food stamps or thinking about them. Do you listen to politics? They complain about them all the time. People leeching off the government. I don't think two or three kids are staying at home. I don't think those are the wealthy people. I think those are politicians that are representing people who are disenfranchised. So I think they're representing voices that are like far more impoverished than like the billionaires. The billionaires aren't even thinking about that. They're like, it's not my money that goes to the food stamps. I'm talking about the infighting amongst the more middle class. That's where the fight is going to happen. Listen, I like read something about it and all this stuff seems like a potential plausible outcome. But I'm also in this place right now where I'm, I think right now because things are so bad that many people have a very negative outlook on America. So what trends and what gets views is America bad. IE, if you look at like any, this is a bad example, but like when the war first started with Iran, the videos that were getting all the views were America's going to lose. And I think that that not only is that interesting because you're probably like, Oh, shit, I thought we had the strongest army. How the fuck are we going to lose? I think there's maybe also a part of it, which is like, well, fuck, what the fuck is America doing? You're like, I don't know if it feels deserved, but like there is that like, it's not a nihilistic standpoint, but there is this viewpoint that's just like there's, it's negative. And we are trying to find a way to frame it where it's like, it's not like we want America to do that. But because things don't look good, we're looking to confirm that feeling we have. Does that kind of make sense? Yeah. So I'm a, sometimes I at least try to treat the existential crisis content with a little bit of skepticism where I'm like, is this real or is creating a piece, a YouTube video about how AI is going to destroy all the jobs just the thing that gets the most views? Got you. Because I feel like I approach it that same way. I just would like just in case it is to have it not to be prepared. Yeah. That's my, I think that's smart. You want your bunker. Whatever your version of the book. Yeah. Yeah. That's why I've got my concealed carry license. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know what the fuck's going to go down. Yeah. That's good. It's like when you see the rich people building bunkers, like we allow to be suspicious too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I get it. So, but you do get where I'm coming from where it's like if the, if, if the content is satisfying the feeling and I think that's kind of like how the internet works. It's like however people feel the content, like content is oftentimes audience capture. So, it's like when Timmy Chalmey's the coolest guy on the planet, all the videos where look how cool it. Timmy Chalmey's look how amazing his outfits are. Look how awesome his movies are. Look how dedicated he is to his craft. Then when it's Timmy Chalmey sucks and he shouldn't have done that. Now you see all the same creators doing content about how he sucks. So, in a lot of ways, I think that like the content creation is a reflection of what people feel, not the other way. Where, whereas back in the day before you knew what views were, like when you were just making newspapers or magazines, you didn't know how many people really read it. Like who bought it, etc. But you didn't know what was resonating, what articles, etc. They kind of dictated information and then people reacted to information. So, they could kind of dictate the feeling of the public, you know. Yeah, but then isn't that so isn't the content now more reflective of how the people I feel? Yes, 100%. 100%. And before you could propaganda is way better. It's like, hey, we got to we got to go to war, okay. All the media companies, let's get on the same page about why this is important. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What I'm just saying is that I think human beings in general have a more catastrophic thinking when it comes to the world. Look, it's more rare for us to be hopeful and optimistic. And I think that's why, like, when specific figures, I can Obama, or even Mamadani, these incredibly charismatic, optimistic people come on. You see religious figures also do this, right? Where it's just like, I mean, you see a lot of like, I don't know how you feel about them, but like the wealth preachers. Like, you're going to be rich, you know, type of, and it's like, it's intoxicating in a lot of ways because it's a break from the catastrophic thinking that is probably more ingrained in sort of like primal nature. Yeah. You know, like, we're always worried about how things are going to go bad because that's how you stay alive. So I try to like, when I see trends on the internet, I try to go, okay, is this real? Or are these people just creating what is going to feed off the feared insecurities of the audience? Gotcha. And you're not worried at all. No, no, of course I have those worries, but I try to like, talk back the worries. So I'm not just reading things that confirm my concerns. I'm not as catastrophic as like, maybe some, you know, where it's just like, yeah, I, you know, I think like the global economy is so intertwined that, like I think of right now, like even when he's building as a building bunkers and the people that are working at the tech places that are creating this fucking AI or trying to warn you, like, "Yo, guys, this is going to collapse out." Like that shit doesn't, that's scary. Yeah. That shit is scary. And then I'll like ask Chad CBT and the easy question, and we'll get it wrong, and I'll be like, no, we got a few years. So it's like, is it going to take over the world? Or does it not know, you know, the difference between red and green? What happened? Like, it's, it's tricky. I just, I don't think that I haven't witnessed it. And again, like we live in a weird space where we're, I'm sure we could use AI, and I'm sure there are things that we do with AI in our business, but it's probably not as prevalent if you're in a fucking law firm or you work at like a CPA agency where you're doing taxes. You're probably like, oh shit, you're using Claude to do your job, and you're like, eventually we're not going to need me. Yeah. I said this on Al's show. We were on on Sunday. I said, I think a lot of middlemen are like, no, I don't want to call the middlemen, but like that job that is between an individual and a like industry. Yeah. Are a lot of people that are like, oh, those two might get a lot closer. Can I, can I give an example of that? Yeah. Real estate agents. That was a job that, and it sucks because one of my guys is real estate agent, but that's like been a job that I'm like, when are they going to, so like there's value for the real estate agents. I think in terms of like knowledge and awareness of an area when you're buying a place. Like them being able to go look like, I know the history of this building, you know, the buildings in debt. So if you buy in here, you're going to take on that debt. Like all these like little things that like you and I probably wouldn't even think of when buying a place. Also knowing little obscure shit, like there's a subway project coming into this area. So now this street is actually going to be super valuable because like these other little intangibles, if you're just renting an apartment in a city that you only plan to live for like a few years, like how is Zillow not worked it out where you just apply like you do for a restaurant reservation. Yeah, it's crazy. What are we doing here? Like Tesla doesn't have any dealerships. You order your car through an app and he shows up at the house. Look at the fuck out of it. There's no dealership. Remember when banks did that? Remember when it was like Charles Schwab or something, it was like they're like, you know, no ATM fees and we're like, what's the caps? And they're like, we don't got a bank. Yeah. And then we're like, so I can use any ATM. They're like,
like, yeah, you're like, all right, take my money. Like, I don't want to go to my bank. I want to go to the fucking eight times square, trying to be $12 to take out money. So yeah, I think that they're, okay, maybe the specific jobs where they are middlemen and you could see technology even without AI, closing the gap. Like, it's crazy, you should be able to get an apartment by just reaching out directly to the person. Yeah, right? Like, but hey, that's a job that somebody's lively. No, no, I don't want them to lose that. And I think when it comes to buying a property, it's this massive investment. It's like, everything you've ever earned. I don't know if you would want to leave that up to a computer. But like, when you get an Airbnb, this is why I think it's kind of obscure. When you get an Airbnb, is there a real estate agent in Bolt? No, no, just the company itself. Right, so it's like, you give your information. They do granted this for a short amount of time. So it's not that big a deal. But like, how is renting your apartment for months, for months, different than an Airbnb? It's not fundamentally that different. Yeah. Right or not? You're not wrong. But that just scares me. It scares me for, like luckily, I think I'm safe. But I said this on the show also. Thank you for coming through to the show. Well, this is really opinionated, bro. Oh, I love it. I like it. It's awesome. That is not true. I pulled the mark egg on it, just sat on it. No, no, no, you didn't think, bro. But it's like, it was my business, for example. I've already pointed out ways that I can use AI to save money and like, skim down on jobs. What's an example not saying you would do it? What's an example? Like, there's a lot of these AI things to cut clips where I don't need to have a team of people that cut clips for people. I can say, but I can right now save a bunch of money. And I'm choosing not to. Because the business is still doing well. And I don't want to fire people. But if it comes to it where the business starts to suffer, you're going to have to find ways. And like, that is the same thing that probably every business owner is thinking about right now. Yeah, that's a tricky thing where it's like, and I don't, I don't have to, like, what's it called? Like, investors that, like, I'm not on the stock market. So I don't have to, like, you have to answer those investors. Exactly. You've got to show returns and yeah, yeah. That is the, yeah, like, the ideal scenario, right? Is like, every one of us could use AI to make our jobs easier and better. And everyone still has their job. Yeah, right? Like, that ideal scenario is like, Miles, you get to use AI to help you with your processes for production, editing, et cetera. And it cuts your work down. But you still make the money you make. And you get to enjoy more of your life and you could do other things with your time. Like, that is just, that's the ideal scenario. But as we know, we live in a fucking system that is going to be built around profit. Not everybody is going to have a kind of communal office vibe that we have where hypothetically. And sorry, sorry, Miles, you're the example in this. Go. What if he saw Miles posting every day, like, on a beach, drinking a margarita, and all the work is getting done? Somehow, he found AI automation to do everything with it. You'd be perfectly fine with it. That he's not here, and he's chilling. For a second, he fucks up. Oh, that is. [LAUGHTER] I'm going through his whole Instagram feed with him. [LAUGHTER] I'll go get it. Second, he bugs, I'm going through. I'm like, why would-- why did this happen? You're like, why do we want to be here? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yes, that would happen. I'm aware of that already. No, man. Yeah, I'm already aware. But for me, if the business is profitable and everybody's eating, and if there's a technological advantage that we can use, here's a perfect example. It's not fucking AI. But we first started a podcast, right? We would have to process three cameras of audio back in a day, or video back in the day, right? And it was like, then you'd have to sync up the cameras, sync it up to the audio, and then edit angles from all three cameras. And then I bought this thing called a switcher. You remember when we bumped into each other at B&H? Yes! You were both invited to switch. I'm like, how can I make this job easier? So it's like, how can we stream on this shit? I'm like, oh, boom. So it's like, I was like, because basically what I asked is, how do they do it on the news? Like, the news isn't pre-recorded. So there has to be a way. And something explains to me that there's just thing called a switcher, which allows you to record all the cameras. But what's recorded is only the camera that is like, they're chosen at the time. And I was like, holy shit, so you're saying, like, by the end of the episode, we have a fully edited episode. Now, things have changed. Now, we have to make some changes or edits or insert ads of blah, blah, blah. But there was a time where it was just we were rifling off the ads during it. And I was like, OK, wow, there's a piece of technology that makes Alex's life way easier. Now, I'm sure my brain immediately went like, OK, now that you have all that extra time, can we cut some clips from the pot? I didn't stop thinking about the things we could do. But it wasn't like, OK, now that your life is easier, can we pay you half as much as you used to make? My feeling was like, if we're going to be here for eight hours, and we could turn this work into two hours, what can we do with the other six hours? Can we film a sketch? Can we have a cool brainstorm session? What game could we add to the pod that would make it better? That's kind of what I think. But again, I don't run like a factory that makes zippers. Yeah. Do you want a factory to make zippers? You're not trying to do creative shit. Yeah. So-- Interesting, guys. It's going to be some fun times ahead, though. It's very funny. We've switched this, like now, inside baseball shit. But we used to use a switcher that I was live switching all times. I don't do that anymore. I just rewatched the episode and cut it back down. And this is interesting, it's because you can sometimes with the switcher, you'll be on a single on an ounce. And then Mark will say the most hilarious bit. And then we miss it. And it's like our logic is essentially like the audiences get to miss a really fun moment. So Miles takes way more time to now figure that out. There are other versions that you could do that might be less time. But it's gone faster. It's gone better. And it's really good now that we don't miss that shit. I think-- When I watch it, I'm like, ooh, these choices are really good. Because when you're switching in real time, you don't know who's going to talk. You never miss every joke. You miss every joke because a lot of the times, the joke that's funny is you say something and then someone has a quick witty response. And you have a quick witty response. Somebody else. So I do the switcher in brilliant. And it almost feels like an instrument. Like a music instrument. And it's like, my fingers are kind of like just attached to the person talking about it. Not even talking. And then I'm even thinking about getting the reaction of the laugh. And I cut to that. And it's like, it's not. I'm not thinking. I'm not trying. It's just like, I'm talking and engaging in the conversation. And my fingers are just doing so. But that's just something that-- Just not-- That's the other thing. It's like, it needs to become so what is the term, like, wrote? Because if you're thinking about switching-- Yeah, you can't. And you're contributing? Yeah. Yeah, you're correct. Yeah. Yeah, trust me, guys, I don't. Yeah, trust me. Imagine Anne process the audio and pulling stuff up on screen. Not possible. Yeah, it was difficult to have. Can you tell me what the fuck white load of season for cast and location revealed is? Oh, I didn't really hear about that. The location is the French Riviera. Oh, I knew that was going to happen. I love that. There's some huge names in it. Give me. Helena Bonham Carter. Who's that? That is Bella Tristange. She's a French love. She's a French love. I love her. Yeah. Yeah. She's a French love strange from Harry Potter. Oh, Bella Tristange. Okay, okay, okay. All right. She's great. She's great. Who's a wife? She's married to Nightmare on El, not Nightmare on El Street. Tim Burton. Yeah. Isn't she married to Tim Burton? Is she married a Freddy Krueger? No, no. Did he do some fucking Halloween movie? He did. He's Christmas. No, he technically didn't direct it, but yes, you're right. It's Tim Burton. It's Christmas, yeah. He just wasn't directing. Kumail is on there because he pictures because I don't know what he's making his names. They apparently broke up. Yeah, Kumail's on it. Kumail, the Indian guy who was in the Marvel movie. I think he's Pakistani. Pakistani, my fault. I'll scrub that cleaning up. Oh, are you going to get it right? Max Greenfield. Is he awesome? Oh, yeah. He's from New Girl. New Girl. He's funny, that guy. He's so good. Yeah, he's funny. Who else we got? Sandra Bernhard. Who's that? Oh, G. Oh, G. Yeah. She's, oh, you recognize this. That one. Oh, okay. Yeah. All right. So she's going to be the pill popper. (laughs) Who kind of got it? (laughs) Who's that? 100%. 100%. Who is the holdover? Because don't they bring one person from each? Yeah, let me find that out. Oh, yeah. Everybody died at the end, right? No, they had a. The, didn't the black chick whose son came since she lived? Oh, the, the, yeah. Yeah, because she wasn't at that scene where everybody got shot up. And didn't she make money off it, too? Like, oh, that was what happened. She was supposed to start a thing with the agent, dude. She was fucking, and then she got paid, and she was like, ah, I got to go. That's the beauty of that show. It just shows you everybody's a piece of shit, yeah. Like, it's, it's real. - It is crazy to like, I wanna talk.
- Talk to the creator, Mike White did think his name? - Yeah, Mike White. - I wanna talk to him because like, as beautiful as the creation is, like, is the cost of that having like a cynical outlook on humanity? - You gotta get 'em. He would be so fun on this pod. - He would be, he's awesome. - 'Cause he's also like obsessed with survivor randomly. - He was on it and I think he's on the 50th season. - Yeah, yeah. - Wait, he's a cast member? - He was cast member once. - Oh wow. - Because he loves the show. - Oh, obsessed. - He was already like producing TV. - Yeah, yeah. - I think he was already in the industry, right? Like he was on a celebrity survival? - Well, he wrote the Jack Black movie, School of Rock. - Oh, wow, okay. But yeah, again, so it's like, is this just a thing that he's good at? Or is this kind of his outlook on humanity a bit where he's able to access the kind of the most selfish parts of our, your being, you know? And like what's the cost of that? It's like, you know how like cops always deal with people lying to them all day? So, you know, there's like a little distance sometimes when you're talking to one, even off hours. Like if he's not working, it's still everybody's trying you. So I think I imagine you start to see people as a little bit piece of shit. - Yeah. - Did you feel that way a little bit? - A little bit, the older I get, I feel more that way. - Interesting, yeah. - It sucks. - Yeah. - Can we try to like galvanize the audience to tag somebody like that and get 'em on the show? - Yeah, we need, I've seen shows do that and that shit works. We gotta do that. We need everybody telling Mike White. We need, we need everybody, please tag Mike White. I know this kind of coin. I feel even kind of coin, he's saying that shit. - No, I don't feel corny. We would love to get 'em on a show. - He would just be a cool person to talk to. Like what is, and how does he observe these groups? Like the way he did those group of girls, there was those three girls on last season nailed it. And like, he nailed it to a point. - White girls. - No, he nailed it to the point that my wife would be watching it and like, it was a combination of laughter and also cringe in that she goes, oh my God, I have friends to do that. - They do that same shit. - Like, oh, this is how girls are. - I gotta be right back from every girl. It's like either they were one of them or they knows. And most of them said, they know. - My friend is like, no, you're not. - No, you're not. - Yeah, you're not. - You wanted them to. - I think having a session over reality TV, makes you addicted to like, reality TV only gets people who are like the most boisterous in their own perspective. - Yeah, it's like the worst parts of humanity. - Yeah, and he's obsessed with it. He was on amazing race. Obviously, if he's in those shows, he's watching them all. - And he's just a fan of reality TV, and reality TV is almost white lotus dramatized in like those characters. - That's a great observation, Maazia. It's like reality TV specifically, it's gotten so good at casting the reality star. And they're like qualities to it, right? It's like extreme emotional reactivity, manipulative and a lack of self-awareness. So we're like, you can behave in a way that most of us would feel like was reprehensible without even really realizing it. Like you kind of feel pseudo justified in whatever you do. At least in the moment, you can't acknowledge it. And yeah, that's every character on that show. They feel completely justified in their bullshit. - It's funny. Before we started recording, Shifty was explaining these Mormon bitches to me. - Oh, tell me, tell me, tell me. - Like, I don't know if I can break it down. - But you have shit they come on out. - Shifty come out. - It sounded like an episode of white lotus, the way he was breaking the shit down. He's like, this fucking Mormon bitch is fucking this guy. Then she went on a bachelor. And then she was like pregnant. And then immediately off the bachelor, went back to the guy she was fucking. That guy is fucking all her friends and some old lady of some shit like that. Like, he which is, it seems like a dope show. And I don't even watch reality TV, but I'll give it a watch. - So it is, it sounds like an episode of white lotus. - It is like, you watch? - So my wife was, I hate when guys do what I just did. - So yes. - Yes. (laughing) - 'Cause like, nobody does this with Game of Thrones. Nobody does it. Like, it don't matter if your wife puts it on. If you watch it, you say you watch it. But when it comes with the fucking heated rivalry or the Mormon wives or any of these like housewives shows, it's always, yeah, my girl was watching it and then I took part. - Whatever. - The heated rivalry, I hope it's always the girl. - No, I watch it. - It's, yeah, it is, yeah, it is. (laughing) Anyway, so the, I actually told my wife about this one. She was on her housewife shit. And I was like, how was that? - Son, I'm plugged into the internet. - What's so weird? - I'm plugged into the internet, bro. - Who are you? - I'm Andrew Cameron Schultz, the son of Larry Schultz. - Larry was my name. - Larry was my name. (laughing) - Larry would be upset. - He'd be upset. - He might, he might. - He might. (laughing) - But yeah, so have you put your wife on the reality side? - Yo, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look. - It's, son, it's, I got painted nails that I'll be shaved to you, bro. - Son, it's, son, it's insanity. 'Cause I had to like broach it. Like she kept watching like, real housewives of Potomac or some shit. I'm like, oh, 'cause I knew she wasn't watching. And I was like, what's happening in that, that more of a wives show? And she's like, oh, I haven't watched that one yet. And I was like, oh, word, like, it's crazy. Like, like I'm trying, and she's like, yeah, I'm just not into it. And I'm like, it's so crazy. I'm like, I'm just, I'm sweet. - Why the fuck? - I'm trying to get an audit. 'Cause I wanted to watch it, but I'm not trying to sit there and band in my family, my two children, my wife. Watching some mischievous pee tastes like fruity peps. - That's good. (laughs) - I guess you heard all the bitches hot on this shit. He's like, yo, you know who we fight? - Now I'm gonna get this one to watch. - They got some lookers when I go live. - Son, Shifty said there's a bunch of baddies on that. - They got some, now you know why that lake is salty. (laughs) You know what I mean? It's some lookers on the show. - But it's crazy. - But it's crazy, you know, crazy. - So what is it about Mormonism? Drives you crazy because they're too like, you gotta be a certain way and then they just blow up and become-- - These girls are all kind of Mormon culturally too. - Yeah. - Some are like Mormon about it. And then some are like culturally Mormon in the way that they're like religious Jews and cultural Jews. - Yeah, okay. - It's not like Christians and cult, like everybody in America is kind of culturally Christian. Like we celebrate Christmas and that kind of shit. This is a little different. Like their community is a little different. Like they might not go about all the things but they're not drinking, you know what I mean? They might not go to church but it's just like-- - But I heard these girls is like, they're not rejecting it. They're not, not all of them are rejecting it. - Oh really? - Yeah, there's some baby mamas on that but they're not all-- - So what I think is like, you know how there was like the church girl who was like the slut. - Yeah, you're thinking that they're having a crush. - Yeah, but then it's like because they had to be repressed for so long, they became ultra sluts. - This show to me isn't about slunning this. - It's about sleeping around, it's peeing on. - It's not. - It's, it's a, they're like married girls on it. It's a lack of-- - Or Kelly without the kids. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's, I'm telling you brother, it's a lack of shame. - There is no, there is, there's a term in Spanish, I mean we have a two, but like scene better wins, like no embarrassments, like my, my buddy would call me - What do you do out to me? - Can I be the Puerto Rican? - No. - Like why you gotta out Spanish me? - I need even-- - Oh, you acknowledge as Spanish as white? - No. - You just out Spanish? - Are you so, are you culturally appropriate here? - But my fucking culture voter right here, you can't trust you guys. - My boy would always call me a scene man or a scene better going, so when I was living in Spain and he was at home, he out there. And it was just 'cause I was like, I would just do crazy. I was like, I five wouldn't care, like everyone care. - And still, still, still kind of there. These women are without shame or without embarrassment to an extent. Like the girl got her pussy's surgeryed up and like just showed the girl the girls and like the camera crew and the lights and the audio team is there, but like, they had to blur her pussy. But I thought Mormonism is super buttoned up, super image, super perfect. - This is the thing that people get wrong. They're incredibly sexual. Just with the person you're married to. Once you're married, it is divine to be fucking. - Can they do an only fans with their husband? - I think that would be sharing it with other people. - Yeah, okay. - But being into your husband and having crazy sex and but then some of them aren't. - I'm talking about the slutty shit they doing with their husband. - That's fine. - 'Cause it's not slutty. - It's sex with the man that you love. - I mean, we're all talking about the sex with you, the man that you love. - They're way open, like too open. - But then they can't show it publicly. - No, they won't show it. - But she's showing a pussy lips on it. - Get that nonsense and pussy litin' us up. (laughing) - Put you on a ride. - No, dude, it is, so it is like they're just wildly open, caddy, none of them really seem like friends, but like they're connected through this TikTok. It's crazy. - Is it worth, like, I don't do reality TV, but it's not worth it. - It's not. - You just watch the clips. You don't gotta get into the stories. Just watch the clips. - Watch the clips, okay. - His clips are worth it. People said,

Summary:
The episode features a mix of humor, cultural commentary, and social critique. The hosts open with a sharp correction of a common misconception—confusing a Korean-made K-Pop film with an American production—highlighting how misinformation and cultural stereotypes are often amplified in online discussions. The conversation then shifts to broader issues of racism and cultural performance, especially in how people from different backgrounds are judged.
A major focus is Jack Harlow’s statement about becoming "blacker" in his music, which the hosts analyze as both a personal artistic choice and a potentially offensive remark that ignited widespread online backlash. They argue that the internet often overreacts to such moments, fueled by outrage culture rather than genuine artistic or cultural analysis. The hosts also reflect on how media and public figures share personal opinions, creating moments of vulnerability that can be misinterpreted or exploited.
They critique the tendency for audiences to react emotionally to seemingly minor statements, especially when they involve race, music, or identity. The discussion includes a broader observation that cultural commentary is often driven by outrage rather than thoughtful engagement, and that this reflects a larger societal pattern of reacting strongly to perceived slights—even when those slights are not rooted in real harm. The episode concludes with a nod to the importance of authenticity, self-awareness, and the power of personal storytelling in entertainment, while underscoring how public figures must navigate both artistic expression and public scrutiny.
Despite the tone of satire, the core message is about the need for empathy, cultural understanding, and balanced critique in modern media discourse.
