Speaker 1: is out for four twenty today.
Speaker 2: Just to fully, it's not because it's four twenty.
Speaker 1: It's because the geist Child cometh and beckon if. But
Speaker 1: also I'm a little I'm a little worried. I like
Speaker 1: the geist Child's appearances on the podcast yesterday and on
Speaker 1: the trending the day before were showstoppers, and I think
Speaker 1: I'm going to be replaced.
Speaker 2: But that's why didn't replace us all day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course I'm thrilled to be joined by a
Speaker 1: very special guest co host that bitch on Twitch.
Speaker 2: It's DJ Daniel good Man. Well you may not have
Speaker 2: a four twenty ak.
Speaker 4: But.
Speaker 5: Cherry ak and Jack Harrare I Blaze, Sweet Northern Lights
Speaker 5: got me mapping for days. Blue Dream and purple cush
Speaker 5: good for my brain. These are a few of my
Speaker 5: favorite strains. Whoo, when the blunt sparks, when the cloud blows,
Speaker 5: when I'm feeling.
Speaker 2: Sad, I sigh and get high on my favor it

Speaker 2: watch out now. Happy to be here, Jack, you work
Speaker 2: with the Portland team quite a bit. It's a pleasure
Speaker 2: to have you. Happy to be here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that your aka made me wonder are there new ways?
Speaker 1: Are there new trends in weed smoking? I've I haven't
Speaker 1: smoked weed in nearly a decade. I'm hearing about all
Speaker 1: this cool stuff that the kids are doing with alcohol
Speaker 1: consumption like that, uh, the big jug of water and
Speaker 1: vodka and.
Speaker 2: Around. Well, what's the new trend in in weed with kids?
Speaker 2: It's it's still a space race and the concentrates department.
Speaker 2: It's just about like making the the purest, dopest dope
Speaker 2: out of these little crystals of THHC and goofy terpenes
Speaker 2: and whatnot. But me, I stick to my little pen,
Speaker 2: my little extract pens, and the occasional j I still
Speaker 2: like to roll one up every now and then. So
Speaker 2: pardon me for kicking at old school compared to the
Speaker 2: new kids with their fancy puff coves and whatnot. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's you know, I still kick at old school.
Speaker 1: Does anybody going the opposite direction and being like I
Speaker 1: want the gentlest high? Yes, please, I don't want to
Speaker 1: be violently high. That was always the thing that I
Speaker 1: was back when I smoked weed, like you never knew
Speaker 1: what you were going to get. I guess I also
Speaker 1: didn't like buy my own way. I wasn't a fair
Speaker 1: connoisseur of any sorts. I would just smoke weed with
Speaker 1: other people, and in that practice you never know what
Speaker 1: you're going to get, and I would sometimes just find
Speaker 1: myself on another planet, you know, without intending.
Speaker 2: To be there. Brother A, I feel you, b there
Speaker 2: is literally a company. This is not paid advertising, but
Speaker 2: I just happened to listen to the dough Boys and
Speaker 2: they talk about it all the time. You ever heard
Speaker 2: a diet smoke literally called diet smoke, and it's supposed
Speaker 2: to be like low grade weed. That's for the every
Speaker 2: smoker who is like, you know, I'm not really trying
Speaker 2: to blast off and disappear from this, you know, from
Speaker 2: this mortal coil. I'm kind of just trying to like
Speaker 2: be a little bit high, and there is stuff for that.
Speaker 2: So that is absolutely a market that is totally worth
Speaker 2: pursuing if anybody is interested in getting back into cannabis
Speaker 2: but doesn't want to buy three hundred dollars worth of
Speaker 2: bonds and you know Terpenes well, well.
Speaker 1: Daniel, we are thrilled to be joint. It's been enough
Speaker 1: of our bullshit chit chat. Let's get down to it.
Speaker 1: We're thrilled to be joined by one of our favorite
Speaker 1: guests here on The Daily Guys, a talented writer, host, actress.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to this show, the brilliant and talented Danny Fernando.
Speaker 3: Yes, Edd Bless, I fuck with edibles, man, that's my Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I want a general I think a lot of
Speaker 3: people want to general high. Thing that I don't understand
Speaker 3: is how people can get high and then write, Like
Speaker 3: who wants to write when you're I want to take
Speaker 3: a bath and go to bed, Like I need like
Speaker 3: a red bull to write. I need the opposite.
Speaker 1: I think, I think we there are certain people for
Speaker 1: whom you know, you know, there's the thing with like
Speaker 1: add medication. For people who don't need it, it affects
Speaker 1: them like speed, and for people who do need it,
Speaker 1: it actually calms them down. Like I think there's a
Speaker 1: similar thing.
Speaker 2: That happens with weed.
Speaker 1: Like I know people who used to like need to
Speaker 1: get high before class to like do as well as
Speaker 1: they possibly could. I just think that there's it totally
Speaker 1: affects people in different ways. For me, it gave me
Speaker 1: a panic attack, and I just kept going.
Speaker 2: Just kept being like, nah, I want to be cool.
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep giving myself a panic attack. But yeah,
Speaker 1: writing well, hi, I the times that I tried that
Speaker 1: was non productive.
Speaker 2: I will say I'm similarly unproductive when it comes to
Speaker 2: being high. I can. I can smoke weed and play
Speaker 2: ultimate Frisbee and that's about as far as minds acting
Speaker 2: active activity plus weed can get. Other than that, it's
Speaker 2: on the couch watching Succession or something. Yeah, Succession seems
Speaker 2: stressful to me, honestly. You know, I did a couple
Speaker 2: of episodes Super Blazed, and I had to like watch
Speaker 2: them again because I was, like, I think I missed
Speaker 2: a whole business transaction rooms.
Speaker 3: Who's this old guy again?
Speaker 2: I've told me to fuck off.
Speaker 1: How much of the linga, the business lingo, are we
Speaker 1: supposed to understand because I feel like they throw a
Speaker 1: bunch in there that's probably like a reference to something
Speaker 1: they've worked out in the writer's room, but like they're
Speaker 1: not counting on us knowing what the fuck they're talking about.
Speaker 3: I feel like it excites. It's the same thing with
Speaker 3: like all of their La slash Hollywood references. Like I
Speaker 3: just I know that it excites the groups that it excites.
Speaker 3: And I wrote on a similar show that had like
Speaker 3: a big business aspect, and we we had like a
Speaker 3: business someone that that's their job, that went through all
Speaker 3: of the scripts to kind of make it sound like
Speaker 3: we actually knew what the fuck we were talking about.
Speaker 2: Oh, business consultant.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a business consultant. There you go. Wow, Sorry, I
Speaker 3: am high.
Speaker 1: So I mean usually business consultant is the most general
Speaker 1: job that you can possibly tell someone you do.
Speaker 2: Like that consultant.
Speaker 1: That must be the number one job that CIA agents
Speaker 1: tell people they do because they know it will immediately
Speaker 1: turn people's brain off. But also kind of true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know McKenzie, it's like mackenzie, but not yeah, because
Speaker 1: I also kill people exactly. All right, Danny, we're gonna
Speaker 1: get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the
Speaker 1: things we're talking about. Your boy Dan All has brought
Speaker 1: some four to twenty news. The Bipartisan Hope Act as
Speaker 1: being reintroduced by AOC, among others, So we'll talk about that.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about how the Fox Domingion settlement is being
Speaker 1: covered or not covered specifically by Fox News, by Newsmax
Speaker 1: and o An, both of whom have pending lawsuits with them.
Speaker 1: We might get into some great Pacific garbage patch. I
Speaker 1: think we shouldn't call it great. I think it's bad.
Speaker 1: But well, we'll talk about that big old garbage patch
Speaker 1: between California and Hawaii. We might talk about So there's
Speaker 1: a there's a major League baseball story, but I promise
Speaker 1: you if we talk about it, it won't be a
Speaker 1: story about baseball. It will be a story about drinking
Speaker 1: in public. One of the top two ways to drink
Speaker 1: is being affected by these new Major League Baseball roles
Speaker 1: because they've sped up the time the game takes, which
Speaker 1: also reduces the amount of beer that can be consumed.
Speaker 1: Or you would think it would, but baseball fans are dedicated,
Speaker 1: if nothing else, to getting shit faced. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: that and that pillow humping scene. Were you guys familiar
Speaker 1: with this pillow humping scene that happened in Obsession? Not
Speaker 1: to be confused with Obsessed. There's a new Netflix show
Speaker 1: called Obsession not yet. It's a combination of the Beyonce
Speaker 1: movie and the show's succession ah n No. It's about
Speaker 1: a hot shot surgeon who becomes obsessed with his son's
Speaker 1: mysterious girlfriend eventual fiance, and there is a showstopper of
Speaker 1: a scene that you might hear people referring to. So
Speaker 1: we'll give you the proper context for that, because it
Speaker 1: has seems to have thoroughly weirded out the internet, which
Speaker 1: is just.
Speaker 3: In my middle school fan fiction. I mean, who hasn't
Speaker 3: humped a pillow? I know, right, y'all, but I.
Speaker 1: Don't want to see fifty something men doing it personally.
Speaker 1: That's I guess it depends on which fifty something man.
Speaker 3: It issal.
Speaker 2: Might pull it off.
Speaker 3: He did, No, actually he did? You see his Esquire?
Speaker 3: Was it Esquire? You gotta? I'll send it to y'all.
Speaker 3: He did hump a couch. He was humpy that couch.
Speaker 2: He was.
Speaker 3: I might have saved it on my Instagram.
Speaker 2: Pardon me while I google all of that plenty more.
Speaker 2: But first, Danny, we like to ask our guests, what
Speaker 2: is something from your search history?
Speaker 3: Okay? My search history had how to predict when something
Speaker 3: will happen using tarot.
Speaker 2: Okay, so I've had.
Speaker 3: This is wild one. I feel like I've seen every
Speaker 3: major psychic out here, including Oprah psychic who I love,
Speaker 3: and no, I will not give you the info for
Speaker 3: anyone that dams me, but I have now seen four
Speaker 3: different psychics who have told me that my future partner
Speaker 3: is from New York and like they didn't know, Like
Speaker 3: I did not tell them anything. I didn't tell them.
Speaker 3: One of them. One of the the most recent psychic
Speaker 3: I saw was from Miami. I literally gave her like
Speaker 3: my nickname, like I didn't put my info for her
Speaker 3: to like look me up. But she was reading my
Speaker 3: cards and she said, I see that your partner is
Speaker 3: from New York. And I've had four other people tell
Speaker 3: me that. So I also tweeted something funny or I
Speaker 3: was like, man, I can't believe my partner has never
Speaker 3: had good Mexican food. That's crazy. You know, a lot
Speaker 3: of New Yorkers got mad. But anyways, I keep hearing this.
Speaker 3: I've heard this for years. So I was trying to
Speaker 3: like figure out when when. And I think it's this summer, y'all.
Speaker 3: I think it's.
Speaker 1: Okay, the summer of this is the summer of New York.
Speaker 1: Just like I know a lot of people are moving
Speaker 1: to New York.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It seems like a good summer for New York. I
Speaker 1: am curious what the psychics ruling would be on. So
Speaker 1: they say, Okay, you're going to meet someone from New York.
Speaker 1: Then you go and with your many many followers you
Speaker 1: in salt All, New York.
Speaker 2: Does it?
Speaker 1: Does that still hold up? Like or are they like,
Speaker 1: well you just sabotage.
Speaker 3: It, you like here, No, I was kind of talking
Speaker 3: shit and a lot of like Latino New Yorkers wrote me.
Speaker 3: Like my my friend Christian Mercado's in New York, he's
Speaker 3: a filmmaker, wrote me. And like several other people were
Speaker 3: like they were like stop messing around, like stop you know,
Speaker 3: playing games, like there there is good Mexican food here.
Speaker 3: So I was just kind of like, you know, making
Speaker 3: fun of them. It's not as good as here, sorry,
Speaker 3: not as good as here. But I was just kind
Speaker 3: of teasing them. So yeah, good natured shit talking, Yes,
Speaker 3: good natured shit talking.
Speaker 1: So I might say, flirting with your eventual there you go,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, that is. I've been to one psychic
Speaker 1: in the last five years, just like went to the
Speaker 1: boardwalk Ocean City, New Jersey. Shout out, shout out, Ocean City,
Speaker 1: New Jersey. But I like it's kind of a zultar atmosphere,
Speaker 1: like bit the place where big the big mirror happens,
Speaker 1: and so I think that's kind of what I was
Speaker 1: looking for. But they also were like big things happening
Speaker 1: in New York for you and your wife. They actually
Speaker 1: said my wife was going to meet her partner in
Speaker 1: New York. But yeah, I was like, but we're They
Speaker 1: were like, yeah, yeah, move it along here.
Speaker 3: But I just like seeing a bunch of them to
Speaker 3: see if they all say the same thing, and a
Speaker 3: lot of times they do, and I'm like that makes
Speaker 3: me a little and I only see ones that come
Speaker 3: heavily recommended. It has to be like from a friend
Speaker 3: who was like, she accurately predicted this exact thing that
Speaker 3: happened in my life. And then I'm like, oh, I
Speaker 3: want to I want to talk to them.
Speaker 2: So there you go, there you go. What is what
Speaker 2: is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 3: Okay, y'all this these Stanley cups. Have y'all heard of these?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: The thing?
Speaker 3: Okay? And no it's Stanley Tumblr mug. Somebody listening right
Speaker 3: now is drinking has one in their car like with
Speaker 3: them right now. So my aunt got me one of
Speaker 3: these big Stanley Tumblr mugs for Christmas, and I remember
Speaker 3: thinking like, oh, that's cool, that's nice, like thank you
Speaker 3: and my brother and sister in law, who I opened
Speaker 3: it up in front of were like, oh, she got
Speaker 3: you a Stanley.
Speaker 2: I was like what.
Speaker 3: Everywhere I go people comment on this. My friend that
Speaker 3: I was facetiming with, she was like, oh you have
Speaker 3: you have a Stanley And there's like tiktoks on them.
Speaker 3: There's like tiktoks telling folks where you can get them
Speaker 3: when Target restocks them. These are like gold. What I
Speaker 3: have in my hand right here is cold. And so
Speaker 3: I was talking to a girlfriend of mine and she
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, all all the white girlies love them.
Speaker 3: It's like moms, forty sisters.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: And so I was googling. Literally, if you type in
Speaker 3: like why is Stanley mugg, It'll come up like so popular.
Speaker 3: And I had no idea that I have the Willy
Speaker 3: Wonka Golden Ticket Stanley mug.
Speaker 1: So Stanley they look similar to what I would associate with.
Speaker 1: YETI yeah, and yet, but they have a different logo
Speaker 1: stamped on them. So I'm assuming they're just like some
Speaker 1: up market version of like a yetti tumbler where it's
Speaker 1: the the it'll stay your drink will stay cold for
Speaker 1: a month.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the hats of these?
Speaker 3: I also think it's the straw. I know that sounds
Speaker 3: crazy and I'm sure that YETI also has them, but
Speaker 3: there's something about the fact that they have they come
Speaker 3: with a straw that's like a really big deal. But
Speaker 3: like I don't know if y'all know, water talk like
Speaker 3: water TikTok is a big deal and it's a little
Speaker 3: a little chaotic. It'll be like I was watching I'm
Speaker 3: trying to carefully choose my words here.
Speaker 2: There was this woman it's chaotic.
Speaker 3: There was this woman who it's like a completely different culture,
Speaker 3: you guys. There was this woman who was like, this
Speaker 3: is how I make my water. It's my cotton candy water.
Speaker 3: I start with four pumps of vanilla it's like vanilla
Speaker 3: syrup that you would yes, vanilla syrup that you would
Speaker 3: see at Starbucks. And then I add the maple syrup,
Speaker 3: and then I add three pumps of this blue like yes,
Speaker 3: and that's what she needs to drink water.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: And so there's all of those like water, how to
Speaker 3: make like cotton candy. It's for grown adults who cannot
Speaker 3: drink water and have to have it taste like an
Speaker 3: otter pop essentially.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, Yeah, I can't tell if I'm like, you know,
Speaker 2: low key disgusted. Or I'm mad at myself for not
Speaker 2: thinking of plussing up my water, Like why am I
Speaker 2: not plussing up my water?
Speaker 3: This is probably because you want to keep your teeth?
Speaker 3: Is that right?
Speaker 2: Hey, you're telling me four pumps of vanilla cream it
Speaker 2: would have been bad for my teeth. I never never
Speaker 2: kind of thought.
Speaker 3: But anyways, they do it in these Stanley cups. I
Speaker 3: don't know, y'all tweet at me and let me know
Speaker 3: your Stanley cup, Like, let me see your Stanley cups.
Speaker 3: I guess I don't know.
Speaker 2: Stanley got a lot of products, by the way, I'm
Speaker 2: on their website right now, and the offering is vast.
Speaker 2: We're talking all sorts of Stanley materials here and kind
Speaker 2: of want a cup. Not gonna lie. They got good colors.
Speaker 3: I like. I like being a part of a movement.
Speaker 2: So you're a taste maker, Danny. This is this is
Speaker 2: big right now.
Speaker 1: This is big for I'll just say this is also
Speaker 1: interesting because the Stanley cuff has been a brand for
Speaker 1: decades because of hockey. I'm just wondering, like, do I
Speaker 1: go and incorporate a company that makes the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: and is the best bowl in the business and ship.
Speaker 1: I'm sure the NFL would sue. You'd have to call
Speaker 1: your directly off of me. I would be in the
Speaker 1: courtroom with no pants on.
Speaker 2: You'd have to be called. You have to call your
Speaker 2: company the Big Game. Unfortunately, this Bowl is called the
Speaker 2: Big Game for some reason.
Speaker 1: I have a I have a mystery for if there's
Speaker 1: any water talk TikTok water water.
Speaker 3: Water talk out there, waterheads, but.
Speaker 1: It sounds like water talk is like the name of
Speaker 1: a segment on the most boring podcast ever.
Speaker 2: But I so I had a Tumblr thing.
Speaker 1: It was like a free giveaway, you know, thing like
Speaker 1: what we're talking about is daily Cup, but it was
Speaker 1: it was like branded from I think a hospital that
Speaker 1: my wife worked for.
Speaker 2: At some point, I had water on my.
Speaker 1: Bedside table tap water overnight, left it there the next morning.
Speaker 1: Usually I'll like clean it out and you know, get
Speaker 1: my water for the for the next day. But I
Speaker 1: left it there the next morning, and then when I
Speaker 1: took the lid off the next night, it smelled like
Speaker 1: someone had farted into my water cup.
Speaker 2: And I'm trying.
Speaker 1: I still like haven't been able to figure out what happened, Like,
Speaker 1: does does the water contain methane? Like, is there am
Speaker 1: I just was I having a small stroke. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I'm curious if anyone else's experienced this, leaving water
Speaker 1: enclosed overnight and then it smells just awful the next
Speaker 1: day for some reason.
Speaker 3: I do know that sometimes when I'm using the hot
Speaker 3: water at like certain in the sink, it doesn't smell
Speaker 3: like the city's water, la And that's not hard to
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 1: Tap, yeah it So maybe there was just a yeah,
Speaker 1: caught a bad section of the of the piping or something.
Speaker 2: I don't know. That sounded gross. I don't know what
Speaker 2: that phenomenon is, because it absolutely exists. You leave a
Speaker 2: cup of water out for a day, it goes from
Speaker 2: water to gross and there's no you know, it's undeniable.
Speaker 1: I assume that was like dust and stuff landing in it,
Speaker 1: and but this was enclosed and the whole thing just
Speaker 1: smelled bad.
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know. I'm going to get pretend science
Speaker 2: here for a second, and I have a feeling there's
Speaker 2: something about like evaporation or water, like escaping its liquid
Speaker 2: form and then turning into its vapor form on the
Speaker 2: inside of the glass and then turning back into water
Speaker 2: and dripping back in, like maybe in something in that
Speaker 2: process it makes it gross. But like that's all I
Speaker 2: can think of.
Speaker 1: If it mixed the inside of a stomach, and yeah,
Speaker 1: therefore the gases they're created.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's very confusing. There's somebody maybe I slept, walked and farted.
Speaker 2: Into my cup. I don't know. You do do that.
Speaker 2: I do do that. I do need that.
Speaker 1: Danny, what is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 3: I don't know if this is considered a good movie
Speaker 3: or not. Like I have no concept of what's good
Speaker 3: from the nineties because I was a kid then. But
Speaker 3: I think The Mask is a really good movie. And
Speaker 3: like when I Daniel Whitt, wait you kind of were you?
Speaker 3: You shook your head in a way that's quite the
Speaker 3: opposite I was.
Speaker 2: I was saying, like, that is the movie. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I apologize.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, please, no, oh my gosh, you you're
Speaker 3: allowed to have your opinions. I just was like, wait,
Speaker 3: you're already disagreeing.
Speaker 2: No, no, quite the opposite. I love the Mask.
Speaker 3: No, but like I was looking at one, I loved it.
Speaker 3: I feel like it shaped a lot of the shaped
Speaker 3: a lot. Jim Carrey himself has shaped a lot of
Speaker 3: my comedic when I was growing up, a lot of
Speaker 3: but like the rotten tomatoes, like here's one from ciscol
Speaker 3: of Ciskel and Ebert carry in his aggres over by
Speaker 3: our back, but this time he's better used as an
Speaker 3: ingredient instead of as the plot. And then like me,
Speaker 3: isn't it? This is from Entertainment Weekly, This is rotten.
Speaker 3: He gave it rotten. Carrie now has the clout to
Speaker 3: find a vehicle worthy of his hyperactive gooniness. When he does,
Speaker 3: we'll see if he's truly a jester of our time
Speaker 3: or simply the moron of the moment. And this was
Speaker 3: from twenty ten.
Speaker 1: Those are the two options, either a generational comedic talent
Speaker 1: or an idiot.
Speaker 3: But okay, so I don't know why I went down
Speaker 3: a rabbit hole, as you do. And so he got
Speaker 3: so in nineteen ninety four he was paid three hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty thousand for ace Ventura, so to be the star.
Speaker 3: That's pretty low, but you know whatever, it was ninety four.
Speaker 3: Then off of that he was then paid fifteen million
Speaker 3: to appear in the sequel for ace Ventura When Nature Calls.
Speaker 3: So he went from three hundred and fifty thousand to
Speaker 3: he became such a big star in those like two
Speaker 3: years that he was then paid fifteen million.
Speaker 2: That's wild. Also for all you math heads out there,
Speaker 2: I just looked up what three hundred fifty thousand in
Speaker 2: and it was in nineteen ninety four money, and that's
Speaker 2: seven hundred and twelve thousand, which for like a movie
Speaker 2: star in a movie still feels like not a wild
Speaker 2: amount of money. Like so like paying someone to be
Speaker 2: the star of a like a I don't know, like
Speaker 2: a a wide release comedy, seven hundred and twelve thousand
Speaker 2: doesn't feel like a wild amount of money. I mean
Speaker 2: it is, of course a lot of money, no doubt,
Speaker 2: but like that still feels like completely within the realm
Speaker 2: of possibility of not that much. Comparatively, Yeah, fifteen million.
Speaker 1: They thought they didn't know if that movie was going
Speaker 1: to be direct to video or not, you know, like
Speaker 1: that's when when they made the original Acevan True and
Speaker 1: then immediately discovered that they had like a phenomenon on
Speaker 1: their hands.
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say, in the Mass Cameron Diaz
Speaker 3: so high really is just so smoking high. I just
Speaker 3: there's some really pivotal women from the nineties that I
Speaker 3: was like, oh yeah, I'm bisexual her, and so Soma
Speaker 3: hyak in anything but man early like nineties, not even
Speaker 3: in why am I blanking that? Like for me, it
Speaker 3: was like fools rush in when she's like she's just
Speaker 3: like smoking hot, and Matthew Perry's like, how did I
Speaker 3: get this woman?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, exactly, yeah, the classic nineties of the
Speaker 2: dumpy white dude with the absolutely drop dead gorgeous woman.
Speaker 3: So anyways, but the Mask, I think it's really it's
Speaker 3: really funny. I think it's really funny. I think it
Speaker 3: holds out and it's also a dark Horse comics and
Speaker 3: with all this ip I'm like, can't I know there
Speaker 3: was like Son of the Mask and all the other stuff,
Speaker 3: But like, is he I feel like he could? I
Speaker 3: feel like he could have his own universe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we could bring that back.
Speaker 3: Bring him into the comic book world.
Speaker 1: That was. It was such a wild time when like
Speaker 1: Ace Ventury came out, like you said, they had no
Speaker 1: idea how I was going to do, paid him three
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars and immediately he was his own film
Speaker 1: genre like that that was a period I talk about
Speaker 1: like there was a period when I was young, when
Speaker 1: like Bruce Willis, movies was my favorite film genre. And
Speaker 1: like there there was definitely a period around this time when,
Speaker 1: like Jim Carrey, movies was every kid, I knews, favorite movie,
Speaker 1: favorite genre of movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what a run whatever. All right, let's take a
Speaker 2: quick break and we'll come back and talk about some news.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and the Bipartisan Hope Act to Encourage
Speaker 1: Expunging Weed records is back. It's being reintroduced. It's baby
Speaker 1: tell them Yeah.
Speaker 2: So well, funny story is the four twenty episode. And
Speaker 2: I was like, gotta find a weed story man, and
Speaker 2: found this wonderful website, Marijuana Moment, And let me tell
Speaker 2: you something, if you want to find your weed news,
Speaker 2: you gotta be following Marijuana Moment. Baby. But more importantly,
Speaker 2: I was happy to see, if anything, a bipartisan effort
Speaker 2: to help people expunge their weed records. We know this
Speaker 2: is something that has been you know, expunging weed crimes
Speaker 2: has been a has been like a countrywide push for
Speaker 2: probably the last like ten years of people being like
Speaker 2: as legal weed as something that is more widely accepted
Speaker 2: across the countries. More states are legalizing cannabis, either for
Speaker 2: medical purposes or for recreational use. The idea of expunging
Speaker 2: people for really petty possession crimes is just like a
Speaker 2: necessary next step. Also, big fan of Ben and Jerry's
Speaker 2: for really leading the charge on this. Shout out one
Speaker 2: of my favorite ice creams. But recently, earlier this week,
Speaker 2: the Hope Act was reintroduced. The Hope aac standing for
Speaker 2: Harnessing Opportunities by Pursuing Expungement, brought forward by Representative Dave Joyce,
Speaker 2: a Republican from Ohio and our girl, AOC Alexandria Casio
Speaker 2: Cortez from New York. It's a bill that's basically incentivizing
Speaker 2: states to to speed up the expunging process because right now,
Speaker 2: it's expensive, it takes a while, and the process is
Speaker 2: really unclear. And this is the part that Jack noted
Speaker 2: that I definitely want to talk about. One of the
Speaker 2: parts of the Act is to make public how the
Speaker 2: expungement process works, where it happens, and just like basically
Speaker 2: a how to on like if you want to get
Speaker 2: your record expunge, this is how to do it. And
Speaker 2: the fact that it is taking this Act to make
Speaker 2: that public is kind of like just put it on
Speaker 2: a fucking website.
Speaker 1: Just put the act is saying, just put it on
Speaker 1: a free public website. Is they're just having to say that.
Speaker 1: Like that was so revealing to me because it's like
Speaker 1: that means because that that doesn't cost anything. Really, it
Speaker 1: costs like minimum server hosting.
Speaker 2: These people are these these states already have websites. It's
Speaker 2: just putting a page on the website. You're already paying
Speaker 2: for the hosting. Get your get your you know your
Speaker 2: person who's running the freakin' I don't even know what
Speaker 2: server they're using, but like whatever they're using to write
Speaker 2: one extra page of oh yeah, this is how it's done.
Speaker 1: But this, I think this is revealing because it shows
Speaker 1: that someone is making money off of that not being there, right,
Speaker 1: and that like we talk a lot about and I've
Speaker 1: seen a lot of people in the news talk about
Speaker 1: how much incarceration costs the public and taxpayer dollars. But
Speaker 1: the dirty secret is someone is making that money. Like
Speaker 1: that money is being paid to people in the prison
Speaker 1: industrial complex. Like in the same way that like when
Speaker 1: we gaw get like the amount that is spent on
Speaker 1: defense and like all these weapons that don't ultimately, like
Speaker 1: the the US doesn't ultimately need like someone that there
Speaker 1: are private people who are becoming billionaires off of that shit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's why it's happening. That's why you need a
Speaker 1: fucking bill to just be like, put this web page
Speaker 1: where people can find it, please.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and speaking to the someone's making money off of
Speaker 2: this part. Another part from the article is that the
Speaker 2: legislation would require the Attorney General to basically carry out
Speaker 2: a study that shows exactly how much this costs and
Speaker 2: how much people who run the prison industrial complext are
Speaker 2: making off of each person off of cannabis condiction. Cannabis convictions. Uh,
Speaker 2: you know, the financial costs for states and incarcery people
Speaker 2: for these things. It's like, you know, it's unclear how
Speaker 2: much it's costing you know, the public to help keep
Speaker 2: people in jail for buying an eighth And it's like this,
Speaker 2: you know, it's really it's you know, it's ridiculous, and
Speaker 2: I'm glad that this is being pushed forward. However, and
Speaker 2: will say the fact that it is being reintroduced suggests
Speaker 2: that it's not past the first time. This is obviously
Speaker 2: another effort to get people to you know, to to
Speaker 2: to massage into the situation of we need to be
Speaker 2: more clear and transparent about how expongement works, what it
Speaker 2: costs to even keep people in jail for this nonsense.
Speaker 2: And while it may not be a step towards or
Speaker 2: may while it may not be federal legalization, it is
Speaker 2: at least a step towards increasing the public sentiment towards like,
Speaker 2: how would you like to not pay this much more
Speaker 2: money to keep people in jail for literally nothing. So
Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, you know, hopefully it's a movement on
Speaker 2: the needle at least a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say, like I'm being adjacent to this
Speaker 3: and that I microdose shrooms, and I feel like we're behind,
Speaker 3: Like I still hear stories of people being arrested at
Speaker 3: air reports for having their shrooms, and I use them
Speaker 3: for depression, which heavily recommend and I've talked about extensively,
Speaker 3: but like it scares me the idea that I might
Speaker 3: be filming in a different location where they're illegal, right,
Speaker 3: and that I wouldn't be able to carry them with
Speaker 3: me when it's something that I rely on for my
Speaker 3: mental health totally. So it just feels like we're still
Speaker 3: lagging in so many of these states and situations. And
Speaker 3: I want to say this kind of reminds me. This
Speaker 3: website reminds me of what I wish they would do
Speaker 3: with our taxes. It's just obviously someone makes money off
Speaker 3: of that too. And we just had, you know, tax season.
Speaker 3: Some people are still in the thick of it, and
Speaker 3: like it's insane to me that I'm like, you literally
Speaker 3: know how much I owe? Like, just tell me and
Speaker 3: I will pay me the bill. But they obviously make
Speaker 3: money industry. Yeah, there's an entire industry.
Speaker 2: How difficult.
Speaker 3: And then when you don't pay they they or they
Speaker 3: you don't pay the right amount, they tell you, hey,
Speaker 3: actually you owe this much. It was like, thank you,
Speaker 3: thank you for telling me, because so you.
Speaker 2: Knew you were just giving us busy work. That's that's
Speaker 2: what I feel like.
Speaker 1: I keep running up to, running up against they're giving
Speaker 1: us busy work, like to keep us busy too, and
Speaker 1: then they're like, no, this was actually the answer. Thanks
Speaker 1: for showing your work on that.
Speaker 6: Now you didn't get it right jail, yeah, yeah, And
Speaker 6: it's it's just instructive that it's been legalized in many
Speaker 6: places to sell it.
Speaker 1: But we can't get this Hope Act past or can't
Speaker 1: get any traction for it because selling it makes people money,
Speaker 1: but getting people out of prison doesn't make people money.
Speaker 1: And in fact, people in prison makes prison industrial complex billionaires.
Speaker 2: Real think really quickly quickly back to Danny's point, I
Speaker 2: think it also just begs the question in terms of
Speaker 2: how far are we behind on the positive effects of
Speaker 2: other things that we considered to be like narcotics or
Speaker 2: or you know, bad drugs, et cetera. When it's like
Speaker 2: just being able to do research on these things and
Speaker 2: you know, provide solutions for people who really need them,
Speaker 2: I understand we're facing we are you know, reaching a
Speaker 2: similar point with ketamine and how ketamine is also, like
Speaker 2: you know, in certain doses, is super helpful for people
Speaker 2: suffering from all sorts of different, you know, different things
Speaker 2: in their lives. And it's just, you know, it's it
Speaker 2: is continually disappointing how we are trying to push things
Speaker 2: that could ultimately help people and it gets hampered up
Speaker 2: by money making. When when in fact, when in fact,
Speaker 2: if we were to pursue these things as an end,
Speaker 2: they themselves would also make a lot of money. It's
Speaker 2: just maybe to take a little bit of time to
Speaker 2: do a little R and D to see how maybe
Speaker 2: microdess and mushrooms is actually super duper helpful, and that's
Speaker 2: a whole other industry that you could just create out
Speaker 2: of that. And yet it's like, no, we have to
Speaker 2: live with these archaic ideas of how these drugs are bud.
Speaker 2: It's just it's silly. It is very sick.
Speaker 3: That's wild to me because it's I mean, same thing
Speaker 3: we talk about weed, but literally of the earth. It's
Speaker 3: just so it's insane to me that we have regulated
Speaker 3: or made it illegal things that you can literally grow. Yes,
Speaker 3: but I do want to say I have done clinical
Speaker 3: ketamine and did it at a doctor's office.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean there's like that that is one
Speaker 2: that there is.
Speaker 3: Here in LA you can do that. No, yeah, there
Speaker 3: are places, sure.
Speaker 1: Sure there Yeah, that ketamine is one where there has
Speaker 1: been a lot of progress made and like you can
Speaker 1: do it in a clinical setting. But also there's still
Speaker 1: a bunch of restrictions around it and it's not as
Speaker 1: you know, up and up and like easy and they're
Speaker 1: for it makes it more likely that people will use
Speaker 1: it in ways that are not as beneficial so like
Speaker 1: just going strong in the direction of research and finding
Speaker 1: healthy contexts where people can actually use this. Like MDMA,
Speaker 1: I think, is the next one that is really getting
Speaker 1: a lot of attention in the research community, but very slow.
Speaker 2: I've been doing a lot of personal research on that
Speaker 2: and all the outbeatings I go to and let me
Speaker 2: tell you something, the euphoria is unmatched, and I don't know,
Speaker 2: I think everybody else should, you know, take a page
Speaker 2: eye of that and experience it.
Speaker 1: But they like it's being described as like a wonder
Speaker 1: drug when it comes to ptsd A right, but like
Speaker 1: actually doing it, taking it and then having a conversation
Speaker 1: with a trained therapist, like you're just like breaking down
Speaker 1: all these barriers and getting to things that usually without
Speaker 1: the therapeutic youth m like, are pretty hard to get to.
Speaker 3: I just forget, like how different our jobs in world
Speaker 3: are from the rest of the world. Because when I
Speaker 3: would take shrooms and then go to my writer's room,
Speaker 3: and then my showrunner was like, oh, I want to
Speaker 3: know what shrooms are taking. So then she started taking
Speaker 3: them and got her family, like her mom and dad
Speaker 3: to start taking them. And I'm like, in any other setting,
Speaker 3: we would be drug tested and I would be fired,
Speaker 3: you know. But we're in a creative industry where they're like, oh,
Speaker 3: that helps your brain, Like I want some of that
Speaker 3: where it's not seen. I remember this MTV show I
Speaker 3: worked on. This was before weed was like completely legal,
Speaker 3: but that our showrunners had like a big bong and
Speaker 3: would smoke like during lunch. And I'm just like, this
Speaker 3: is such a different world than Frisco, Texas, where I
Speaker 3: came from, where I you know, I went to high school,
Speaker 3: and and people are being like drug tested for these
Speaker 3: things that actually do really help folks with their depression,
Speaker 3: with their attention. What I was going to say is
Speaker 3: shrooms opposite of what we started talking about today with weed.
Speaker 3: For me, it's an upper so and I don't have
Speaker 3: any like I don't come down, I guess, is what
Speaker 3: I would say. Yeah, I can take it and then write,
Speaker 3: is what I meant, Whereas normally with most edibles, I
Speaker 3: just want to go to sleep. Yeah, but those are
Speaker 3: also the strains I know that I'm doing. I don't
Speaker 3: need education on it or anyone that wants tons alone.
Speaker 2: Everybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, actually, any some information that I think you might
Speaker 1: find useful on the subject.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Newsmax and OIN are avoiding this. It's basically like a
Speaker 1: lot of people are saying it's weird because this Fox
Speaker 1: settlement is arguably the biggest media story of the year.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of money seven hundred and eighty seven
Speaker 1: point five million dollars that they had to settle.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's going to bankrupt them, but
Speaker 2: it's it hurts.
Speaker 1: We got a bunch of great leaks from the lawsuit.
Speaker 1: I wish we would have been able to see it
Speaker 1: in public court. But again, this is the problem with
Speaker 1: counting on the US justice system or corporations to fight
Speaker 1: our battles for us. But you know, a good blunt
Speaker 1: instrument for shaking loose some interesting details like that Tucker
Speaker 1: Carlson doesn't believe any of the shit he's saying, like
Speaker 1: we have him in text messages saying like this is
Speaker 1: all bullshit and Trump is a disaster for him and
Speaker 1: the Republican Party. So that. There's also two other pending
Speaker 1: lawsuits with Dominion suing OAN and Newsmax, as well as
Speaker 1: Patrick Byrne, the former Overstock CEO who appeared on as
Speaker 1: an expert and spread misinformation about Dominion in the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty election, and so they are not reporting on this
Speaker 1: Fox News settlement. One spokesperson for I Think It was
Speaker 1: On came out very confidently and was like Newsmax issued
Speaker 1: a confident statement claiming that the case against them is
Speaker 1: materially different than the one involving Fox. But the only
Speaker 1: difference seems to be that they kept going like that.
Speaker 1: Fox kind of backed off of it after a little
Speaker 1: while while once they got sued, and Newsmax and On
Speaker 1: were just like strong and wrong the whole time on
Speaker 1: claiming that the twenty twenty election was stolen. So will
Speaker 1: be interested that they seem like actual actually in danger
Speaker 1: of being put out of business with a similar size settlement,
Speaker 1: So be interesting to see. Yeah, you won't hear about
Speaker 1: it anywhere on Newsmax or.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I don't know it just you know, I
Speaker 2: feel like in general, settlements are always a little you know,
Speaker 2: I can understand in certain situations while the idea of
Speaker 2: settling out of court is probably better for both parties
Speaker 2: and certain situations, but when it's like when you were
Speaker 2: settling such an enormous lawsuit that directly affects the outcome
Speaker 2: of the politics and the and the world that would
Speaker 2: affect hundreds of millions of people. I feel like you
Speaker 2: shouldn't just be allowed to swipe it under the rug
Speaker 2: for however much money. Like I want every detail to
Speaker 2: come out about why they settled, what the what? You know,
Speaker 2: I want every single detail to be known to everybody
Speaker 2: so that they have to stand by what they settled
Speaker 2: for and why. And I'm sure that there's a way
Speaker 2: that you can personally seek that out, but there has
Speaker 2: to be a widely public I mean, like, you know,
Speaker 2: this almost sounds like I don't know. I don't want
Speaker 2: this to be further applied to things like witch trials
Speaker 2: or some shit like that, where it's like, well, they
Speaker 2: were convicted of this and they settled, so now we're
Speaker 2: going on a witch hunt. But it's just like when
Speaker 2: you affect an entire nation's worth of people with your lies,
Speaker 2: like you have to be held to task. And just
Speaker 2: paying seven hundred million dollars, which is of course a
Speaker 2: lot of money, I don't think that's enough, Like I
Speaker 2: want to know. Definitely not Yeah, yeah, definitely, it's just unfair.
Speaker 2: It should have hurt more.
Speaker 1: I mean, they paid that amount because it was worth
Speaker 1: it to them, Yes, for this not to happen in
Speaker 1: a public vesicle.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Yes, yeah, so, which is bullshit. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it is bullshit.
Speaker 1: It will be interesting to see if we can get
Speaker 1: Newsmax and O and then just out of existence, sued
Speaker 1: out of existence.
Speaker 2: That'd sick. Yeah, sick.
Speaker 3: I was going to say, speaking of settlements, I sent
Speaker 3: my friend this article from Gawker because they had a
Speaker 3: blind item on a beloved actor, which I'll talk to
Speaker 3: you guys afterwards. And my friend was like, Gawker's still around.
Speaker 3: Didn't realize that they still were around.
Speaker 1: Well, they went I think they went out, like all
Speaker 1: dates back, they're back again.
Speaker 3: Oh but no, I was referring to their thing with
Speaker 3: Hulk Hogan, right, that's how they went under. Yes, but
Speaker 3: they they're still.
Speaker 2: Reporting the King.
Speaker 1: I think they went out of business at the end
Speaker 1: of January, unfortunately.
Speaker 3: Oh so that literally was it was like, yeah, one
Speaker 3: of the last stories, one of the last stories.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, because they had some great people and uh working there,
Speaker 1: including you know, one of the hosts of Stradio Lab
Speaker 1: and just I thought it was so good and it
Speaker 1: was also just satisfying for them not to be out
Speaker 1: of business, because for sure they were put out of
Speaker 1: business by racist Yeah, person who uses teenagers as blood
Speaker 1: bags allegedly.
Speaker 3: So are we still talking about hu?
Speaker 2: I'm talking about Peter Thiel.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry the whole Cogan thing to get them put
Speaker 1: out of business, but you.
Speaker 3: Are You are obviously have It's your job to pay
Speaker 3: attention to the news. So I only knew parts of that,
Speaker 3: and the only parts I know are whole Cogan is
Speaker 3: racist and he like sued them. That's all I know.
Speaker 2: Bam, that's all. But you're not allowed to tell people
Speaker 2: I'm racist. Brother.
Speaker 3: Oh, also his never mind, let's continue, Let's not talk
Speaker 3: about Hull Cogan anymore.
Speaker 2: I kind of need to hear what you want.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say Roy with Junior, who I
Speaker 3: love and adore. He has a really great Yeah, shout
Speaker 3: out Roy. He has a really great It's up on
Speaker 3: Comedy Central's website. It's part of his stand up special
Speaker 3: where he was saying, like, y'all give trans people such
Speaker 3: a hard time when Hulk Hogan's name is Terry, Like
Speaker 3: he's a guy from Tampa named Terry, and y'all have
Speaker 3: no problem me. And he was like, do you think
Speaker 3: ice cube is really ice Cube's name, and as I
Speaker 3: think of that next maybe it's that's just what they
Speaker 3: want to be called, because I think of that next time.
Speaker 3: Y'all are giving trans people a hard time. So shout
Speaker 3: out to Roy for you.
Speaker 4: Know, being head name brother Terry Terry, Okay, I mean
Speaker 4: from it's like, you know, people do amazing things when
Speaker 4: they like are forced, like by circumstance, or like have
Speaker 4: a really tough upbringing, and like he came up with
Speaker 4: one of the best fictional names of all time from
Speaker 4: the difficult circumstance of growing up being named Terry. He's
Speaker 4: like that was was in the lab as a kid,
Speaker 4: dreaming of other things his name could be other than Terry,
Speaker 4: and he hit on a good one.
Speaker 2: Whul Cogan. I think that was maybe not his invention,
Speaker 2: but oh well, there's some marketing team that's like, what
Speaker 2: do you mean he came up with it.
Speaker 3: I also found out that John Cena was Big Tim
Speaker 3: Just wow today, Yeah, that's who went by Big Tim.
Speaker 2: That was his birth name.
Speaker 4: Believe this.
Speaker 3: How about John Cena? Oh yeah, no, that's better. That's
Speaker 3: better than Big Dam.
Speaker 2: That's awesome. That's funny.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's take a quick break, we'll be right back,
Speaker 1: And we're back. And the Great Pacific garbage Patch is
Speaker 1: now so big and permanent that a coastal ecosystem is
Speaker 1: thriving on it, according to scientists. This is one of
Speaker 1: those interesting news stories that I feel like I wanted
Speaker 1: to click on it, like with a hopeful note in
Speaker 1: my heart of like, ah, you know, doctor Ian Malcolm
Speaker 1: was right, Life will find a way. And then you
Speaker 1: get to and I mean, there there are a bunch
Speaker 1: of different animals and cnm and e's and stuff living
Speaker 1: on the garbage patch, connecting themselves two different pieces of
Speaker 1: floating plastic.
Speaker 2: But it's not good. It's still really bad. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I actually got a bunch of new information about the
Speaker 1: Pacific garbage Patch that I wasn't fully aware of, like
Speaker 1: that it's mostly like a soupy microplastic pool at this point.
Speaker 2: That's mostly what you see.
Speaker 1: It's not the floating landfill that I think I had
Speaker 1: been imagining in my head. We had eight million tons
Speaker 1: a year of plastics to it. The majority of it
Speaker 1: comes from the fishing industry. This was one that kind
Speaker 1: of blew my mind is that the majority of the
Speaker 1: plastic in this Texas two times the size of Texas
Speaker 1: garbage gyre comes from one industry, Like it's it's not us,
Speaker 1: Like it's not your straws and like that. And it's
Speaker 1: great to like be conscientious and like, you know, recycling
Speaker 1: or plastic sure, dude, you know, or just don't use plastics.
Speaker 1: That's all great. But I think the way that this
Speaker 1: story got down trickles down to me is that because
Speaker 1: of all the plastic bottles you use, like those, every
Speaker 1: plastic bottle you used has ended up in the middle
Speaker 1: of the Pacific on this floating island. And it's actually
Speaker 1: one industry, the fishing industry is responsible for at least
Speaker 1: one Texas of of the entire garbage patch, and just
Speaker 1: nobody does like that is something you can do something about,
Speaker 1: you know. That's that's an industry that you can regulate
Speaker 1: in a world where the US government actually regulated corporation.
Speaker 3: Well, I was being from Texas. I love whenever we're
Speaker 3: used as a size of measurement. Congratulations, it's the size
Speaker 3: of three texases, so I think it.
Speaker 2: Would be the size of the United States.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much, we're three different texases. That makes a
Speaker 3: lot of sense to me. Also, I just I don't know.
Speaker 3: I kind of disagree slightly in that this is a
Speaker 3: product of us, because yes, it is the fishing industry,
Speaker 3: but we are the consumers of that. It's the same
Speaker 3: with when we're talking about methane with cows, like that's
Speaker 3: that's a direct correlation to the amount of meat that
Speaker 3: we're consuming.
Speaker 1: Hey, Danny, those aren't my funtless Okay, those cells are.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: I totally agree with that, but it just it's also
Speaker 1: the fault of like it just feels more addressable when
Speaker 1: you realize it's a one specific industry.
Speaker 3: Basically, what I'm saying is vegans are like not us again,
Speaker 3: not us, which I'm not vegan, so but so I
Speaker 3: take I take part responsibility. But I just feel vegans
Speaker 3: are always like, no, we're not contributing, except with almonds.
Speaker 3: I'm paying attention, y'all. I've been that whole story about
Speaker 3: how almonds are like destroying the world. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: so everything we.
Speaker 1: Do, yeah, there's always horrifying stories of the microplastics in
Speaker 1: people's blood.
Speaker 3: And yeah, yeah, not from my Stanley cup.
Speaker 1: Though not from your Stanley stainless Stanley cup doesn't end
Speaker 1: up in the Pacific garbage.
Speaker 3: It's indestructible. It's indestructible.
Speaker 1: It will be here long after humanity. That should be
Speaker 1: their tet their marketing. Pitch will outleak, will outlive you.
Speaker 2: Yes, all right?
Speaker 1: And then finally a baseball story that's not a baseball story,
Speaker 1: but it is one thing I'm seeing pop up. It's
Speaker 1: always interesting when like people start sharing baseball news and.
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, you're a baseball fan. Interesting.
Speaker 1: But they introduced new rules this season with the goal
Speaker 1: of speeding up the game. The most impactful is a
Speaker 1: pitch clock, so pitchers only have fifteen to twenty seconds
Speaker 1: to throw the ball after catching it. It has like
Speaker 1: cut an entire hour out of like the game run time.
Speaker 2: So it's working.
Speaker 1: But the big concern that people had being this being
Speaker 1: America and the only important thing being how we sell things,
Speaker 1: is how much beer are people going to be able
Speaker 1: to sell now? Because most teams stop selling beer after
Speaker 1: the seventh inning because they don't want people driving home
Speaker 1: like freshly drunk. They want them driving home like still drunk,
Speaker 1: but with kind of a hangover. I guess like three
Speaker 1: innings is not enough guys to no longer be drunk.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming so that people are saying that it actually
Speaker 1: isn't cutting down on the sale of beer somehow. Damn.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So people are chugging.
Speaker 3: I mean people are chugging.
Speaker 2: You're getting it in, you know.
Speaker 1: That's I think baseball, more than maybe any other sport,
Speaker 1: is about the experience of going and being in an
Speaker 1: interesting looking place and getting drunk with your fellow humans
Speaker 1: that I want to get about the game.
Speaker 3: I want to get into baseball. I've never been into baseball.
Speaker 3: I don't understand it, and I'm really jealous of not
Speaker 3: like the game. I obviously understand the content. I used
Speaker 3: to play softball when I was younger, and I hated it,
Speaker 3: and I really want I just I want to be
Speaker 3: a baseball person. Y'all seem like you're having fun. You
Speaker 3: got your peanuts and your hot dog and your beer,
Speaker 3: and you're out there and you're baking in the sun
Speaker 3: and you're watching like one thing happen every five to
Speaker 3: six minutes, and I'm jealous it. It reminds me of golf.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, I want to be. I'm going to
Speaker 3: force myself to get into it because I want to be.
Speaker 3: It's like a baseball culture here in La is huge.
Speaker 2: It is huge. Yeah, go Doyer's it is fun. I
Speaker 2: mean I think, you know, there's a certain recreation about
Speaker 2: baseball that I don't think you necessarily get with other
Speaker 2: sports where, you know, I think as you mentioned, like
Speaker 2: sitting outside baking in the sun, like that is unique.
Speaker 2: That is unique to baseball. It's so much more just
Speaker 2: like hanging out and chilling with your friends. You grab
Speaker 2: some food and just kind of like chill and enjoy
Speaker 2: this awesome experience. And then if the game is really close,
Speaker 2: the last half hour of it is like the most
Speaker 2: exciting part. It just gets so it's so much fun.
Speaker 2: You get to chill for a little bit, then you're
Speaker 2: full of beer and hot dogs, and you just get
Speaker 2: to go wild for a big home run. So it's
Speaker 2: just I don't know, I completely agree, great recreational experience baseball. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But so the upshot of this is that they are
Speaker 1: turning this into an opportunity to sell even more beer,
Speaker 1: because they're basically saying like, well, we can't We're going
Speaker 1: to lose out on too many beer sales with this
Speaker 1: shortened game, which actually isn't backed up by like they
Speaker 1: did a bunch of test runs in minor league baseball stadiums,
Speaker 1: and the managers of those games found that concession sales
Speaker 1: were not affected at all by the shortened games.
Speaker 2: They go, but they are.
Speaker 1: Arguing to extend the last call beyond the seventh inning,
Speaker 1: so conceivably it will just mean selling even more beer
Speaker 1: under the guise of maintaining the status quo, which is
Speaker 1: pretty diabolical. I got a question, pressed, I got a question.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So isn't the idea of stopping selling beer at
Speaker 2: a certain point is that people aren't getting drunker at
Speaker 2: the very end of the game, so that they're not
Speaker 2: leaving drunk, right, yes, but they're not driving away from
Speaker 2: the stadium drunk. So despite the fact that the game
Speaker 2: is shorter and you have quote unquote less time to
Speaker 2: sell beer, extending the time you just el beer seems
Speaker 2: to exacerbate the problem of people leaving the stadium drunk.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: Oh sure, yeah, they've just chosen that problem as opposed
Speaker 1: to the problem of making less money. They're like, well,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have trouble tracing it back to any individual
Speaker 1: one of us, and.
Speaker 3: We may.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there you go. Okay, sounds good. Surely this
Speaker 2: surely this will not go wrong at all. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: need the narrator voice here. In two weeks, it did
Speaker 2: it did, it did all right.
Speaker 1: And finally, there's a scene from a Netflix show that
Speaker 1: is going viral. The show is called Obsession. It's about
Speaker 1: a hot shot surgeon who becomes obsessed with his twenty
Speaker 1: something sons mysterious girlfriend come the fiance Anna or Anna,
Speaker 1: and follows them to France. And when the couple go
Speaker 1: out for dinner, this brilliant surgeon breaks into their hotel room,
Speaker 1: smells Anna on Linen's and proceeds to hump the pillow and.
Speaker 2: People.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the photos and I'm enjoying it.
Speaker 1: It looks like John Stewart is stock That's what the
Speaker 1: photos look like to me.
Speaker 2: I haven't watched the live.
Speaker 3: Action, but so this is But also his son's scent
Speaker 3: would be on it too. Write Is that what we're saying?
Speaker 3: It was his son and his daughter in law. We're
Speaker 3: staying in this bad Yeah, okay, see that's where Okay,
Speaker 3: my brain immediately went there.
Speaker 1: But it's really creepy. It's not a thing that I
Speaker 1: guess I've I guess. It kind of comes up in
Speaker 1: the movie in the bedroom. But the idea of like
Speaker 1: dead with son who he's like real into the sun,
Speaker 1: be like getting laid like this is just the most
Speaker 1: specifically I've seen.
Speaker 2: That where the Dead is.
Speaker 1: Maybe there was like a Nora Ephron movie that was
Speaker 1: also about this, but it's it's a lot.
Speaker 2: They really went for it.
Speaker 3: There's a TikTok here that says obsession scenes to skip.
Speaker 3: If watching with your parents would be like, it would
Speaker 3: be the whole the whole thing. Why would you watch
Speaker 3: this series with your parents? Yeah, the whole thing. It's
Speaker 3: just the credits run.
Speaker 2: It can be a good watch exactly.
Speaker 1: Maybe you think that your dad is like two into
Speaker 1: your fiance and so you like sit sit them down and.
Speaker 2: Watch this and be like this is you. This is man.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, is it things to not watch
Speaker 2: with your parents or ways to find out your parents
Speaker 2: are into some freaky shit? Oh right, neither are for me?
Speaker 4: For this?
Speaker 3: Is this like number one on there? Is it? Like
Speaker 3: everyone watching this right now? Is this like number one
Speaker 3: on Netflix or something?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: One of our producers I'm not going to say, who
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, I just watched this, so
Speaker 1: it's we have it going viral, and we also have
Speaker 1: confirmation from inside the Zeit gang that this is this
Speaker 1: is being watched, and yeah, I guess that was a
Speaker 1: service that was being provided by Netflix UK. They were like,
Speaker 1: if you've made the parentheses questionable decision to watch Obsession
Speaker 1: with your parents, these are the moments you'll probably want
Speaker 1: to excuse yourself, which is kind of brilliant marketing because
Speaker 1: then those are the moments that people are just going
Speaker 1: to rush to right and meme.
Speaker 2: So they've done the.
Speaker 1: Work for viewers, which is probably pretty smart. This is like,
Speaker 1: what what are the other Netflix? I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty five Days was like a Netflix
Speaker 1: movie that kind of went viral. I don't know if
Speaker 1: there were like very specific moments from that. There was
Speaker 1: the guy with the enormous dick scene from a Netflix.
Speaker 2: Show that went viral. Do you remember that?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: It was like it was like a guy was jealous
Speaker 1: of his husband or his wife's ex and then like
Speaker 1: his wife's ax like showed up at his gym and
Speaker 1: just had like the big, the biggest, like it was
Speaker 1: like a car tunic big dick and.
Speaker 2: She was like, oh, that's ridiculous. Where would someone possibly
Speaker 2: watch something like that.
Speaker 3: Wait, what was it called Netflix?
Speaker 2: When we type in Netflix, Netflix, big dick guy, Big
Speaker 2: dick Guy's probably gonna.
Speaker 3: Oh no, you can see it immediately. Okay on sex
Speaker 3: life is that what you.
Speaker 1: Were saying, Yes, sex slash life.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, if you demos is dick real is the
Speaker 2: number one?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 2: There's I'm guessing no, dick real.
Speaker 3: Yeah, listener, if you type in Netflix big dick guy,
Speaker 3: that is all of the images is this man?
Speaker 2: And it's big, right, I'm not like, Oh I.
Speaker 3: Haven't seen it.
Speaker 2: Do you actually see it? Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Oh it's all blurred out in the well,
Speaker 3: this black bar looks very big. So yeah, the like
Speaker 3: blurred sensor thing is going down pretty low.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I haven't seen it. It's pretty I
Speaker 2: have a child lock on, I guess exactly.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well that's the that's the last one and probably
Speaker 1: better one to go viral, because just watching a middle
Speaker 1: aged man hump a pillow, I can't not get intil
Speaker 1: I've seen it.
Speaker 3: Right, I just I'm just sorry, dany go ahead, No,
Speaker 3: I'm I have now seen the dick and I want
Speaker 3: to confirm for you Jack, this is a big dick.
Speaker 2: Yes, kind of like unnaturally a big dick. I also
Speaker 2: just want to share, you know, in the process of
Speaker 2: finding the story earlier from at Marijuana Moment, it's like
Speaker 2: when you discover websites, you're like, of course it's a
Speaker 2: website for that. Scrolling halfway down the page of the
Speaker 2: Netflix Big Dick Guy search on Google brings you to
Speaker 2: big Dick guide dot com, And of course, like, why
Speaker 2: why would I think that that doesn't exist? How was
Speaker 2: that not the number one? How was that not the
Speaker 2: number one website? Is that like wiki feet for for dicks?
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1: The follow up question everyone had was was the sex
Speaker 1: life penis aprosthetic? And the answer is yes, according to Newsweek,
Speaker 1: although Newsweek has been questionable in their recording.
