Speaker 3: I like didn't do anything in my life except paint

Speaker 3: show ended mid July, and then I went to Palm
Speaker 3: Springs in like one hundred and fifteen degree. He just
Speaker 3: hung out in the pool, you know. It was really
Speaker 3: cheap though. And then I went to Arizona.
Speaker 1: Wait, were you just chasing the hottest fucking places in
Speaker 1: the country?
Speaker 3: Was the Arizonta was like a consulting job, but like
Speaker 3: it was really hot.
Speaker 1: Were you in Phoenix? You were in Phoenix?
Speaker 3: Were I was in? North of Phoenix? I was at
Speaker 3: the Clearwater was care Free? That was the name of
Speaker 3: the area, care Free?
Speaker 1: Were people? Also? Did you read about how like people
Speaker 1: were getting like terrible burns from falling on the black
Speaker 1: top during the heat wave in Arizona.
Speaker 3: The cactus are falling over in Arizona because they can't
Speaker 3: deal with the heat, which is wild.
Speaker 2: That's insane, that's too hot too. I remember in Chicago
Speaker 2: the first year I moved to la and I went back,
Speaker 2: it was it was twenty twelve. It was the polar vortex.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and you know Chicago has winter. For those
Speaker 2: of you who don't know, Chicago has windshield. And if
Speaker 2: you don't know what windshield is, that means, as God's
Speaker 2: way of saying, the temperature is what it is, but
Speaker 2: fuck you more. It gets colder and the wind shield
Speaker 2: was like negative fifty degrees and it was so cold
Speaker 2: in Chicago that the polar bears that lived at the
Speaker 2: zoo in Chicago had to be taken inside because.
Speaker 1: Too cold for them.
Speaker 2: Outside in Chicago, polar bears, it was too cold for them.
Speaker 1: I'm just like in any normal Chicago winner, the polar
Speaker 1: bears just kicket is that is that? Yeah, the polar
Speaker 1: bears can be in or outside.
Speaker 2: But like it was time, it was so dangerously cold
Speaker 2: that they had to take them inside to keep them alive.
Speaker 1: They didn't trust that they could stay overnight. And the
Speaker 1: fucking cold. You can see see Republicans and climate deniers.
Speaker 1: We got polar bears wearing jackets, people burning themselves on
Speaker 1: the fucking I saw video some of baking cookies on
Speaker 1: their dashboard. Yeah that's anyway. So we're all just trying.
Speaker 1: We're all just trying to make sense of this climate crisis.
Speaker 1: We're in an ecological disaster, but hey, we're making we're
Speaker 1: spending a lot of money to try and get out
Speaker 1: of it. So keep your eye on that part, Taz.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to know you even better. But first,
Speaker 1: let's people quick preview what we're talking about. Uh Yo,
Speaker 1: the Biden bulb fucking backlash is in full effect. I
Speaker 1: don't know what the fuck that is. You probably don't either,
Speaker 1: But we will talk about how people are somehow mad
Speaker 1: about efficient light bulbs, because you know, we love a controversy.
Speaker 1: Then just wanna just want to lay some flowers at
Speaker 1: the gravesite of gen Z, you know, who has just
Speaker 1: found out that mortality does come for all of us
Speaker 1: and eventually we do become the washed ones as younger
Speaker 1: people enter the world. So we will talk about this
Speaker 1: is like, really there's a meme. I fucking don't know
Speaker 1: what the fuck is going on. Gen Z, don't know
Speaker 1: what the fuck is going on? And Generation Alpha, who's
Speaker 1: the younger, the youngest right now, they can barely explain
Speaker 1: to us old folks what the fuck it is. So
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that and the gen Z response to
Speaker 1: all that, and then we're gonna talk about Elon. He
Speaker 1: found a fucking another person to blame really quick that
Speaker 1: wasn't himself for the absolutely predictable downfall of Twitter, So
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that. So before he gets any of that,
Speaker 1: we gotta ask you, are it seemed cast tas a
Speaker 1: met What is something from your search history that's revealing
Speaker 1: about who you are? What you're into?
Speaker 3: You know what's funny? I was just looking at it.
Speaker 3: I was looking at the moon. We're in a full
Speaker 3: moon right now. August is going to be I think
Speaker 3: there's two full moons in August that we're in a
Speaker 3: blood moon. That is the hippie dippy world that I'm
Speaker 3: in where I'm googling the moon.
Speaker 2: Yo.
Speaker 1: My partner, her majesty, she's going to some full moonshit tonight.
Speaker 3: I went to a full moonshit last night or Sunday night?
Speaker 1: Wait? Is there like an official day? Can you do it?
Speaker 1: Is it like more lit today? Than Sunday or is
Speaker 1: this like I think yesterday.
Speaker 3: Was No, Actually tonight, Tonight's the biggest one. But Sunday
Speaker 3: I went to. This is like the most ridiculous thing
Speaker 3: I've ever done. I went on a hike and Panga
Speaker 3: Canyon to Panga Canyon, which is like hippie dippy central,
Speaker 3: thirty five minute hike to that like place. I forgot
Speaker 3: what it was called Lookout Peak or whatever. And they
Speaker 3: had a DJ setup and we did meditation. There's a meditatingation.
Speaker 3: Person had disco headphones on. We like welcome the Moon
Speaker 3: with the dance party.
Speaker 1: Wait, so the DJ hike up like a thirty five
Speaker 1: minute hike with all their gear. Yeah, that's fucking dedication.
Speaker 3: I felt like I was like at a rave for
Speaker 3: like grown ups.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and it was nice outside too, I bet
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 3: It was hot.
Speaker 1: It was a hot hike, yeah, hike, yeah, but adults
Speaker 1: that respect the lunar cycles. Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Now, I am a college educated man, but I did
Speaker 2: go to art school, so I don't know a lot.
Speaker 2: I thought there was only one full moon a month.
Speaker 2: I didn't know there was like more. I thought like,
Speaker 2: is that not true?
Speaker 1: Is that legal, that's not true. Is legal to have
Speaker 1: two full moons the moon.
Speaker 3: The moon cycle is different than the sun cycle. So
Speaker 3: the moon is every twenty eight days. Oh and the
Speaker 3: sun is like you.
Speaker 2: Know, okay, so there is there is only one full
Speaker 2: moon per cycle, yes, but there possibly could be over lateship.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And the only reason why I know this is because
Speaker 3: I'm Muslim and then we like fast, you know, during
Speaker 3: Ramadan to go by the Yeah, okay, all right. College education,
Speaker 3: it's because of eating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because Islam, Okay, you know what I mean, that's
Speaker 1: how That's how I got educated in the lunar cycles. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I even like I remember studying that kind
Speaker 1: of ship in school, and that shit just went over
Speaker 1: my head. I'm like, you know what, I.
Speaker 3: Still don't understand. Like last or Sunday night, there was
Speaker 3: the moon was up and the sun was up at
Speaker 3: the same time. I still haven't figured that part out.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: I see you see that pretty often here in California
Speaker 2: at least. I remember like when I was younger, whenever
Speaker 2: I would notice that, I would.
Speaker 1: Be like, oh my gosh. And now I'm like, I
Speaker 1: noticed that should like five days a month month?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was quite often.
Speaker 1: It happens quite often, like at least on this side
Speaker 1: of the country.
Speaker 3: I'm sure like your listeners are going to respond explaining
Speaker 3: like how the moon revolves around the Earth and the
Speaker 3: sun is Yeah, it's just like I do the I
Speaker 3: still don't understand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, it's not night, this is the devil. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm going to church.
Speaker 2: And all those people that are going to explain it.
Speaker 2: Maybe you can explain other life mysteries to us, like
Speaker 2: why do dogs and cats live together?
Speaker 1: Exactly? And why why do.
Speaker 3: Dogs and cat live together? I wonder that all the time.
Speaker 1: And why are their receipts at cvs so long? Please
Speaker 1: tell me God?
Speaker 3: Why why are there aliens coming to our planet?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 1: What's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 3: I was thinking a lot about like aunties. But I
Speaker 3: don't know if aunties are overrated as much as the
Speaker 3: way that we talk about aunties is overrated.
Speaker 1: I think we're in the generation definition of aunties.
Speaker 3: Yes, right, So like the auntie, So my archie revolves
Speaker 3: around like this idea. It was actually inspired by a
Speaker 3: hate crime incident that happened in twenty sixteen, where two
Speaker 3: Muslim women were kicked off of the plane for staring
Speaker 3: too hard, and the flight attendants were like, we didn't
Speaker 3: like how they were looking at us, so we them
Speaker 3: off of the plane. And that's what inspired my series
Speaker 3: on aunties with ded Ley Stairs. And I don't know,
Speaker 3: I think that part, like aunties are just out there
Speaker 3: to get you is kind of like like like me
Speaker 3: making the art was like re re taking the power
Speaker 3: that Auntie has, Like, yeah, of course aunties are gonna
Speaker 3: stare at you like that. That's what they do. This
Speaker 3: is like an auntie's stare is a terrorist act, which
Speaker 3: what you gonna do about it? You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Like that's how we aunties.
Speaker 1: Are and now and you are.
Speaker 2: And just for those who are not familiar with the
Speaker 2: auntie term, is not like your mom or dad.
Speaker 1: It's like sister, that's not the auntie you're talking about. Women, Yes, at.
Speaker 2: Dating, I'm dating a I'm dating an Indian lady right now?
Speaker 2: Is she and like I have been schooled on all
Speaker 2: her aunties and all.
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 3: This one white lady came up to me at the
Speaker 3: art shown She's like, oh, so this happened to your
Speaker 3: aunt I was like no. At the universal end.
Speaker 1: I'm on now, Yeah, I think that's a problem people have.
Speaker 1: Like in black culture, auntie that's not doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be a thing to be a literal aunt Sometimes it's
Speaker 1: like your mom's best friend and that's just like auntie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: even uncle or cousins exactly family. So many people are
Speaker 1: my cousins that are not my cousin. Yeah, that's just
Speaker 1: what it is. And I think in America sometimes it's
Speaker 1: it's viewed a little bit more rigid, but that they're like,
Speaker 1: well they hear, They're like, so this is a sibling
Speaker 1: of one of your parents. Bro, I have.
Speaker 2: Like I last year I went to my cousin's like
Speaker 2: the whole family descend, okay at cousin, my actual cousin
Speaker 2: and the whole family, but my actual cousin, my actual cousins,
Speaker 2: the whole family descended on to Vegas for my cousins
Speaker 2: graduating from med school. And we were like out and
Speaker 2: like my younger cousin who's now in like her early
Speaker 2: twenties or whatever.
Speaker 1: So I was there where she was born.
Speaker 2: Literally I was she was born, and and we were
Speaker 2: like out like having a drink, having a smoke, and
Speaker 2: she like turned to me, and she was like jackiees,
Speaker 2: are you our real cousin or like how are you related?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, girl, our parents are first cousins. Yes
Speaker 2: we are as real cousins. But like it's so like
Speaker 2: ingrained that like you can but because we're family, But
Speaker 2: it's so ingrained that like you can't be related by
Speaker 2: blood or not, but you still has his uncle's on
Speaker 2: Tea's like yeah, beautiful.
Speaker 1: The same level of closeness that you don't really examine
Speaker 1: half the time, especially when you like lit like you
Speaker 1: come up with these people all the time. It's just
Speaker 1: it is what it is. Tz give us something that
Speaker 1: you think is underrated?
Speaker 3: Are we not talking about aliens invading kindet Earth?
Speaker 2: Like I feel like that, I feel like it's not
Speaker 2: as I feel like it's not in the main stream
Speaker 2: as as I know, we've been talking about this on
Speaker 2: the show, right, Because when I see somebody under old
Speaker 2: talking about some yeah we're covered non biologics from a
Speaker 2: fucking spacecraft and there's a program to retrieve or reverse engineer,
Speaker 2: I'm like.
Speaker 1: Hold the fuck up, because I begin to die. For
Speaker 1: so long I've been waiting to hear this shit. Please
Speaker 1: let me see this, and we talked a little bit
Speaker 1: about like what a lot of skeptics have said. I
Speaker 1: think one of the more compelling arguments I've heard from
Speaker 1: skeptics is like, hold on, these motherfuckers got ships that
Speaker 1: are like a sphere in a cube that can move
Speaker 1: at light speed, but they them shits just crash everywhere.
Speaker 1: They're like, what the fuck is going on? Maybe they're well,
Speaker 1: that is.
Speaker 3: Like holographic multi dimensional.
Speaker 1: That's a bridge too far for me. I mean, like
Speaker 1: let them be here physically, But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean I think I've always said, like I'm very
Speaker 1: open to this idea. I would like to see something
Speaker 1: a little more tangible in terms of like evidence, but
Speaker 1: like I'm not immediately going to be like, man, fuck
Speaker 1: out of here, that ain't happening, because again, I've just
Speaker 1: spoken way too much weed to not be open to
Speaker 1: some fucking aliens being here. That's just it is what
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 3: I believe it, But I just don't understand why no
Speaker 3: one's talking about it, Like, like no one's talking No
Speaker 3: one in the mainstream is talking about it, And I'm
Speaker 3: like going into every party going like, hey, did you
Speaker 3: hear about the aliens? And how kindness is talking about it.
Speaker 3: It was like whatever, whatever this is, like what it?
Speaker 1: I just like, man.
Speaker 2: It four years ago I felt like there would be
Speaker 2: like a few things that would universally bring us together
Speaker 2: as a human race. Sure, and after the pandemic, I
Speaker 2: no longer think that. And now it is even more
Speaker 2: evident that there are we are literally talking about aliens
Speaker 2: and nobody gives a shit. That's how That's how much
Speaker 2: news and bad shit is. Our world is so fucked
Speaker 2: up that we are like aliens. Man, I wish we
Speaker 2: could talk about that, but we got some other shit
Speaker 2: to talk about.
Speaker 4: It is wild by police, but yeah, there are a
Speaker 4: I think the other part too, is like it's I
Speaker 4: get because if right, if true, then we have to
Speaker 4: have a serious talk about how we view our life
Speaker 4: on this planet, who we are in relation to each other,
Speaker 4: what fucking God is or is not, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 1: Like, there's a lot because I remember the Catholic Church
Speaker 1: a few years ago was like, yeah, you know, if
Speaker 1: aliens out there, that's part of God's plan. Like I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure the Catholic Church was sort of like preparing
Speaker 1: for this kind of shit to be like yeah, and
Speaker 1: Christ was fucking with aliens. So I don't think that
Speaker 1: that's like not part of God, Okay, like we're cool
Speaker 1: with them. That I think it does. It does make
Speaker 1: for a lot of introspection that is so abstract at
Speaker 1: this point. Probably people probably aren't wanting to engage at
Speaker 1: that level. That's why, Like for me, I'm just like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck did they say? Go on, now, let
Speaker 1: me see more, please, and then we'll see there. Because
Speaker 1: to your point, Jack, he's like that hearing. I've never
Speaker 1: seen something more bipartisan in like my life, like in DC,
Speaker 1: like where Republicans and Democrats were like on task trying
Speaker 1: to like get all of this out and hearing. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I think there's it's it's
Speaker 1: gonna take some time, I think for this to be
Speaker 1: like at the point where people are like, Okay, maybe
Speaker 1: this is we're seeing enough things or there's enough hearings,
Speaker 1: enough evidence to really begin to reckon with this.
Speaker 3: But like the people who like actually believe in the aliens,
Speaker 3: even they were like, are skeptical of this hearing, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean? Like the people that were like
Speaker 3: are the ones that send you the alien memes? Right,
Speaker 3: those are the ones that were like, yeah, but they're
Speaker 3: just trying to distract you from something, right, I believe that.
Speaker 1: But like, yeah, I was like, this is quite the syof.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you had to swing this big,
Speaker 1: if you're running a fucking op on everybody, but I
Speaker 1: but like, this is the one no one's paying attention
Speaker 1: to either, So is it like a totally total l
Speaker 1: of a fucking op to be like damn, nobody's fucking
Speaker 1: going for this shit, Like, yeah, I'm talking about it.
Speaker 1: I guess they're gonna realize Bidenomics isn't a real thing.
Speaker 2: I think we, uh, we are in the culture now
Speaker 2: where movies mean too much because you know, it's also
Speaker 2: like all right, man, yeah, Young's am aliens. But if
Speaker 2: Will Smith ain't punching that motherfucker talking about Welcome to Earth,
Speaker 2: I ain't.
Speaker 1: Gonna be scared.
Speaker 2: Like you know, we like at this point, I'm like,
Speaker 2: where's the alien invasion?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like that's I want to cigar in my mouth
Speaker 1: saying now that's what I call a closer counter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. We were talking all the
Speaker 1: other day about fantasizing, like I'll go downtown to the
Speaker 1: former first Interstate Bank building, which was the one that
Speaker 1: gets gotten downtown LA and Independence Day. I'll get on that.
Speaker 1: I'll get on that roof. I'd be like, yes, come
Speaker 1: bring them, bring them, but it's to be seen. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, have you So I'm guessing you were
Speaker 1: like me the first day. I was like telling people,
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is a quote that a guy just said,
Speaker 1: decades long spaceship like alien craft Retrieval and reverse engineering program. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was like, biologics. Did you guys hear biologic?
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. I'm like, man, I just I wrapped my
Speaker 1: Dodger fitted in Tim Foyle. It was dope, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Just letting people know.
Speaker 2: There are there people out there that like, I have
Speaker 2: no interest whatsoever and becoming like president of the United
Speaker 2: States or any But I would solely like drop everything
Speaker 2: right now, scrub my search history, take every podcast I've
Speaker 2: ever done off of the air so it can't be
Speaker 2: used against me in the future, and start to run
Speaker 2: for president just to learn secrets that we don't fucking know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do that.
Speaker 2: What I would do nothing in the White House but
Speaker 2: just learn secrets.
Speaker 1: Like the Kentagon's budget, Like, fuck a budget, man, let
Speaker 1: me see these fucking aliens. Let me see Area fifty one. Baby,
Speaker 1: there's a montage I saw where somebody cut together a
Speaker 1: clip of when tell it? Like late night hosts have
Speaker 1: asked former presidents about aliens. Yeah, and it's interesting how
Speaker 1: like they're always coy about it. Like George Bush's like,
Speaker 1: come on, man, I can't tell you exactly what do
Speaker 1: you mean. He's like, so mean you can't tell me
Speaker 1: because there are somethings like I couldn't tell you either way, can't.
Speaker 1: I just can't talk about it. And he's like that
Speaker 1: Obama was the same way, was the same way. It
Speaker 1: makes you think. I'm like, come on.
Speaker 3: Now, like just they know there's something.
Speaker 1: Let us have a little bit of Let us have
Speaker 1: some extraterrestrials as a little treat man. The Earth is
Speaker 1: fucked up enough, you know.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's something fun about knowing like I am
Speaker 2: one of ten people in the entire history of this
Speaker 2: planet that knows about Yeah.
Speaker 1: Instead, like in Hollywood, we like we know kinds of
Speaker 1: secrets are like well, when's this person going to get exposed?
Speaker 1: It's like those are the closest we get to alien sightings.
Speaker 1: I think in La do you think it's a world thing?
Speaker 1: Do you think it's a world thing? Can ask both
Speaker 1: of you? Do you think?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Because like because if the world has to be in
Speaker 2: on it, like this is the one thing that like
Speaker 2: world leaders.
Speaker 1: Are okay, the world just like a global a global coordinated.
Speaker 3: What they say in the congressional hearing, that guy the witness,
Speaker 3: he said that there's some international treaty that everyone agree,
Speaker 3: all the world leaders agree to like not to.
Speaker 1: Keep it under rests. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The only thing that we can agree on as a
Speaker 2: as a as a planet is to not tell people, right.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine? It's like the one crash, Like even
Speaker 1: like between Israel and Palestine, they're like, yo, man, we're
Speaker 1: on the same page with the aliens. I can't talk
Speaker 1: about it. That's sacred. That's sacred to our tide state,
Speaker 1: constant human rights violations. I mean, like you know if
Speaker 1: you know what topic. But the aliens okay, Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like it's like they're holding that that that mean what
Speaker 1: like the red bandana and the blue bandana but over
Speaker 1: alien wo wow, the one true, the one true balancer
Speaker 1: of everything. Who knows? But again, yeah, I think I
Speaker 1: thought you were asking about culturally, you know, because I
Speaker 1: do think that there is something to the fact that
Speaker 1: Americans are seeing like like we we want to see aliens,
Speaker 1: Like in England they see way more ghosts than we see.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we see more a you know, they've killed more people.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But I think also like I'm surprised they don't
Speaker 1: have that fear because I feel like it's like the
Speaker 1: fear of an alien is about imperialism, the boomerang of
Speaker 1: imperialism coming back your way, and that we obsessed with
Speaker 1: this invasion of four foreign forces onto our lands or
Speaker 1: whatever because.
Speaker 3: It's the protect ourselves.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, same. You know, America has so many ways
Speaker 1: to feel guilty, whether it's about chattle, slavery, these other
Speaker 1: things are like and they manifest in our medium weird ways.
Speaker 1: I see that as like made potential underpinnings of it.
Speaker 1: But but then at the same time, you're like, but
Speaker 1: the Brits a scene that ship the Brits. Yeah, come on, now,
Speaker 1: I know y'all are feeling that anyway, So we will see,
Speaker 1: we will see. There's more hearings on the way and
Speaker 1: there is Yeah, because apparently like these they got to
Speaker 1: talk to they got to talk to more people. Tom
Speaker 1: DeLong Blinklin eighty two is like having a field day
Speaker 1: right now. He's just to wait. He's like, this is
Speaker 1: just a taste. I'm like, well, what do you know anyway.
Speaker 3: But we'll see what aoc he's gonna discover. Because she's
Speaker 3: the only Saltish person I trust.
Speaker 1: She was also on some we gotta figure out what's
Speaker 1: going on. I was like, oh, really, okay, well you
Speaker 1: want to see him too. I think anybody that's how
Speaker 1: you know somebody smoked weed in Congress if they're like, yo,
Speaker 1: I gotta know about this a little bit more. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I see you all, I see you all. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back
Speaker 1: to talk about our dear leader Joe Byron right after
Speaker 1: this and we're back. So people might not know, but yesterday, Tuesday,
Speaker 1: August first, America's banned on most incandescent light bulbs went
Speaker 1: into effect. Basically, the rule says that light bulbs must
Speaker 1: emit a minimum of forty five lumens per watt. The
Speaker 1: traditional incandescent do fifteen lumens per wa, so we're talking about,
Speaker 1: you know, minimum three times more efficient but you know what,
Speaker 1: of course we can't just say like, oh, that's good,
Speaker 1: We're gonna help be our energy consumption and things like
Speaker 1: that with our light bulbs. No Republicans have already gone
Speaker 1: on x or Twitter fuck saying x Twitter and yeah,
Speaker 1: that's saying Biden has quote weaponized federal agencies to push
Speaker 1: liberal fantasies, and the States quote must fight back against
Speaker 1: the light bulbs. Were you about to say? Sometimes I
Speaker 1: don't get it.
Speaker 3: I mean, like, is it aren't the Republicans like the like,
Speaker 3: you know, party about money, Like, are they the like
Speaker 3: you know, like this is just gonna.
Speaker 1: Have a bunch of modalism. Yeah, I it's It's hard
Speaker 1: because again it has to it's anything that's now seen
Speaker 1: as efficient or like talking about energy consumption. Is them
Speaker 1: trying to say this is like some tree hugger climate
Speaker 1: change fight stuff, which guess what, assholes, that's something we
Speaker 1: need to be doing, although at a much larger level,
Speaker 1: not at the consumer level with light bulbs. But anyway,
Speaker 1: that's another point. But again, this shit is so stupid
Speaker 1: because this band goes back to two thousand in Sevon
Speaker 1: when I was just graduating fucking college and it was
Speaker 1: passed with bipartisan support under the Bush administration. So the
Speaker 1: thing is, there was this part of the law that
Speaker 1: required most light bulbs be sixty to seventy percent more
Speaker 1: efficient than the standard incandescent bulb. By twenty twenty, Donald
Speaker 1: Trump rolled that back. So that was like it was
Speaker 1: kind of like a minor story in that, like the
Speaker 1: chaos of the Trump administration, he was like, Wow, he
Speaker 1: just killed Wolke light bulbs. I guess, And that's fine,
Speaker 1: We're just delayed the implementation of this. But the funny
Speaker 1: part of the reason Trump even said he was down
Speaker 1: to roll back these regulations was because he claimed to
Speaker 1: quote look better under an incandescent light. He said, quote
Speaker 1: I look, he said, I look better when there's less light.
Speaker 1: Which go ahead, sir, at least you know your your angles,
Speaker 1: which is light. I say this every time. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say it.
Speaker 2: I hate that he's such a terrible person, because if
Speaker 2: he wasn't, he is the funniest president we've.
Speaker 1: Ever had this world. If he was, like, if he
Speaker 1: was just so just ignorant and not such a vile, hateful, racist, misogynists,
Speaker 1: et cetera, they feel, But I don't know how you
Speaker 1: can it's it's hard to be a I mean, I
Speaker 1: guess George Bush is presidents, but I just do love it.
Speaker 1: I look. But to even think that we'd be just like, no,
Speaker 1: not those bulbs, because I look better when there's less light,
Speaker 1: it's so funny. It's so funny. You know. It's probably
Speaker 1: those people who like saw a monitor of him, like
Speaker 1: on a like a shoot with like the the lighting
Speaker 1: on him. He's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Just
Speaker 1: turn it down. I don't want to be seen. But again,
Speaker 1: this band is just on the manufacturer and sale of
Speaker 1: these bulbs, because here's a this is a Fox headline,
Speaker 1: this is Biden administration torched for banning incandescent light bulbs
Speaker 1: so much for getting government out of our homes, which
Speaker 1: would lead you to believe that there's gonna be like
Speaker 1: the fucking bulb Bureau and shit kicking down your door
Speaker 1: and unscrewing your ship, making this ship led. It's just
Speaker 1: forty five lumits for but again that's part and parcel
Speaker 1: of their you know, rhetoric on that thing. But again,
Speaker 1: switching to LED light bulbs, it will cut planet warming
Speaker 1: garbon missions by twenty two hundred and twenty two million
Speaker 1: metric tons over the next thirty years, which is a
Speaker 1: small drop in the bucket, but again something that should
Speaker 1: just be done, you know what I mean. I mean,
Speaker 1: look to it.
Speaker 2: I I I don't understand caring about light.
Speaker 1: I don't understand. I don't understand it. Yeah, and and
Speaker 1: not from a and not from.
Speaker 2: A micro level, because like, yeah, man, there are some
Speaker 2: light bulbs and I'm like, oh, man, give me that
Speaker 2: daylight white.
Speaker 5: You know, yeah, I got my preferences, and shit, oh wait,
Speaker 5: you don't. You don't like a very warm light like too?
Speaker 5: I like, I like the daylight white. Although now a
Speaker 5: lot of the lights in my house are like smart lights,
Speaker 5: so I can like adjust the lights too.
Speaker 1: Oh whatever.
Speaker 2: I wanted to color temperature right right right, yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: the temperature to color at the brightness everything. And then
Speaker 2: even like when led lights first started becoming thing, I
Speaker 2: was like, ooh, these motherfuckers.
Speaker 1: But like outside of that, who gives a ship? And
Speaker 1: now and now they look pretty much they're putting out
Speaker 1: the same fucking light as the other ones. If if
Speaker 1: you are like someone who's like I don't need the
Speaker 1: hyper white light and drives me wild or whatever they
Speaker 1: have they got. They got warmer colors, all kinds they
Speaker 1: got warmer colors. Don't worry, you won't die under the LEDs.
Speaker 3: And life is expensive, like don't we want to like
Speaker 3: make life cheaper for people? This is basically in the end,
Speaker 3: it's gonna make energy use cheaper.
Speaker 1: For the action I mean over yeah, it'll it's gonna
Speaker 1: save you know, overall, like billions in people's light bills
Speaker 1: by just doing this or combined or whatever. But again,
Speaker 1: they gotta find a way to be against efficiency of
Speaker 1: any kind because it's it's just wild. It's progressed across
Speaker 1: the board of any kind there truly. It's like, man,
Speaker 1: I don't even want a fucking light bulb to be
Speaker 1: better than it used to be when my grandfather was
Speaker 1: in the Klan and also a senator, like that kind
Speaker 1: of shit they're just clinging to because same thing with
Speaker 1: fucking gas stoves. It's like anything that's like, oh right,
Speaker 1: we're doing stuff that people things can be more efficient,
Speaker 1: you know. But again it's it's all woke shit. Just
Speaker 1: like when the Xbox put in like a power saving
Speaker 1: thing into like the software, and people like Xbox has
Speaker 1: gone fucking tree hugger on us. But hey, do what
Speaker 1: you gotta do, man, Those are xbox Kate heat up
Speaker 1: until it gets the three rings of death. Yeah exactly,
Speaker 1: that's my right, that's my fucking right, fucking right, bro,
Speaker 1: All right, let's actually move on to let me move
Speaker 1: on to Elon real quick, because again for the well, hey,
Speaker 1: for the people in the back who that may not
Speaker 1: have heard, Elon Musk is continuing to set records for
Speaker 1: killing a once powerful social media platform, doing everything he
Speaker 1: can to make this. We talked about how when he
Speaker 1: had it, the value had halfed like a couple months ago,
Speaker 1: and then when he changed it to X, they say
Speaker 1: the brand value had had again just from switching it
Speaker 1: from X to Twitter or from Twitter to X. So
Speaker 1: he thought it was gonna make shit happen, it did not.
Speaker 1: He thought putting a huge lit up sign at the
Speaker 1: top of his building would help with brand value, that
Speaker 1: it did not. And this man is flaming before our
Speaker 1: fucking eyes and just demonstrating with painful clarity that he
Speaker 1: is far from being some kind of marketing or sales
Speaker 1: tech genius of any kind. So the latest it sounds
Speaker 1: like Elon is blaming pretty much everything that is wrong
Speaker 1: with the business on a non profit organization. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: suing the Center for Countering Digital Hate based out of
Speaker 1: the UK for like observing his actions and talking about it.
Speaker 1: This is what he tweeted on the thirty first and
Speaker 1: spliceet free expression is fundamental to a healthy function globalside
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. That's taken away. It's impossible to get back,
Speaker 1: he said. Free expression and platform safety are not at odds.
Speaker 1: Despite our continued progress, the Center for Countering Digital Hate
Speaker 1: and its backers have been actively working to assert false
Speaker 1: and misleading claims about X and actively working to prevent
Speaker 1: public dialogue. That's why X has filed a legal claim
Speaker 1: against this and its backers. And I'm just gonna read
Speaker 1: a little bit from the lawsuit, this legal motion or
Speaker 1: legal claim that was filed. Quote. I was talking about
Speaker 1: these countering digital hate and activist organizations masquerading as research agencies,
Speaker 1: funded and supported by unknown organizations, individuals, and potentially even
Speaker 1: foreign governments with ties to legacy media companies have embarked
Speaker 1: on a scare campaign to drive away advertisers from the
Speaker 1: X platform.
Speaker 2: So ridiculous, Tess, Let me ask you something. I'm convinced
Speaker 2: that he's doing this on purpose. Oh because I just
Speaker 2: I refuse to believe anybody. I don't refuse to believe it,
Speaker 2: but I don't believe that you can be this inept
Speaker 2: or this like of twos to not realize what.
Speaker 1: You are doing.
Speaker 2: Is either he's doing all purpose because somebody made him
Speaker 2: mad and then he was like this is my long
Speaker 2: come to end this shit or something.
Speaker 1: But like, good lord, Also, so do you am? I?
Speaker 1: Am I alone in this? Do you think that? Do
Speaker 1: you think this too? Part of me is also I
Speaker 1: have to I also have to acknowledge my own blind
Speaker 1: spots as a not wealthy white guy who just had
Speaker 1: who could just fail upward? Infinitely true because you see
Speaker 1: this a lot. I mean, with anything, right if you
Speaker 1: if you're surrounded by SICKA fans forever, you will never
Speaker 1: hear an idea, a critical idea that might resonate with
Speaker 1: you and people can be like, oh yeah, yeah, that's right. Elon,
Speaker 1: it's these motherfuckers that are like fucking shit up because
Speaker 1: it's not and not one single business move has been
Speaker 1: good or positive?
Speaker 3: So did you were you following when he was over
Speaker 3: at was it PayPal and he tried to rename PayPal
Speaker 3: text x Yeah fired him. Yeah, and they fired him
Speaker 3: for that. So like this is just like this is
Speaker 3: just his ego, right, Like he's just trying to.
Speaker 1: Fetch He's trying to make you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: But I will say that, like, you know, I I've
Speaker 3: worked with the in my activist life. I've worked at
Speaker 3: a digital media activist organization and we used to do
Speaker 3: work with the US version of all these organizations. And
Speaker 3: it's just so ridiculous because I think there was a quote,
Speaker 3: there was a quote between Elon and his wife where
Speaker 3: he was so upset by whatever was happening at Twitter.
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm going to buy it and I'm going
Speaker 3: to run the ship to the ground basically, right, And
Speaker 3: that's what he's doing here. He's I think everything he's
Speaker 3: doing right now is very intentional. He's trying to destroy
Speaker 3: this platform that activists have been using to organize protests
Speaker 3: around the world. Now we don't have any space, Like no,
Speaker 3: it's not like I don't know what's happening at Blue
Speaker 3: Sky's threats, Like we don't have the community that we
Speaker 3: once had at Twitter to organize the way we once
Speaker 3: used to be able to, and I think that's what
Speaker 3: he was trying to do. He was trying to get
Speaker 3: rid of the digital space.
Speaker 1: I guess it's hard right to be like if you
Speaker 1: wanted to just debt it, just buy it and debt
Speaker 1: it and be a super villain, you know what I mean? Like, if.
Speaker 3: It's a public what's it called? Like he is like
Speaker 3: it's on the you know, his stops.
Speaker 1: Yeah, public, public is trying to come.
Speaker 3: So he can't technically do that.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I think I mean he can also like also,
Speaker 2: you know, to do that and then to just end
Speaker 2: it would realistically, in my opinion, like that way. If
Speaker 2: I was any other businessman, I would be like, I'm
Speaker 2: never trusting you, Yeah, exactly. But you can't buy it
Speaker 2: and fuck it up by making move after the move
Speaker 2: after move that's move and still have the trust of
Speaker 2: your fellow white man.
Speaker 1: Well well that's what's wild to me, is like, because
Speaker 1: if if you are just sabotaging her from the inside,
Speaker 1: why also use like your pet project that you've been
Speaker 1: trying to make happen for years be part of it,
Speaker 1: Like why are you letting your ego get wrapped up
Speaker 1: in it? If this is. This is a very clear
Speaker 1: operation to do bad. It could just be you know,
Speaker 1: six oh one half dozen of the other but it
Speaker 1: is clear to your point, Taz like it is, it is,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's shaken, it's the wheels are coming off.
Speaker 1: It's hardly you can hardly use it. And Nazis can
Speaker 1: just kick in a subscription fee to get like sort
Speaker 1: of showcased on the website. And I totally get that,
Speaker 1: Like maybe there's there might be a version where he
Speaker 1: was hoping to invert like the sort of ideological balance
Speaker 1: of power on Twitter and be like, fuck it, I'm
Speaker 1: just scare these motherfuckers off, and then I can create
Speaker 1: a business based off of all these fucking wanna be
Speaker 1: Heinrich Himmler's I got out here. But yeah, yeah, at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, that's not going to work
Speaker 1: for business. And I think this was the other part
Speaker 1: I will add is like if he is really going
Speaker 1: through with this, it's gonna be a hard one for
Speaker 1: him because like this lawsuit is being filed in California,
Speaker 1: where we have like really powerful anti slap anti slap
Speaker 1: law lawsuit like regulations on the books, meaning like you
Speaker 1: can't just come after somebody and try and sue them
Speaker 1: to silence their First Amendment rights and shit like that, which, yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of people are being like, they're merely looking
Speaker 1: at your AD business what you're doing, and rightfully just
Speaker 1: said it's like Twitter is becoming toxic and like, but
Speaker 1: you actually, their whole thing is he's saying that they
Speaker 1: access them data improperly or whatever. But that's hardly anything.
Speaker 1: But it just does sound seem to see, it does
Speaker 1: seem to be that the narrative he wants to get
Speaker 1: out there is that the ad exodus is not because
Speaker 1: of his doing, it's also because of these other people,
Speaker 1: which I guess, yeah, whatever, do your best, do your best.
Speaker 1: Is space X considered a success? Yeah it is, I
Speaker 1: think so. Yeah. I mean they're doing real shit, and
Speaker 1: I mean like that's they have, you know, people with
Speaker 1: expertise doing things. Now, I don't know the ins and
Speaker 1: outs of you know, the space industry, but you know
Speaker 1: this is he gets a ton of money for these
Speaker 1: for these like companies through it's all public money, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Because I'm just wondering, like, you know, obviously he's a
Speaker 2: vindictive person and he's doing all of this because he
Speaker 2: thinks people on the left have abandoned him and made
Speaker 2: him look silly and stupid and like the moron that
Speaker 2: we think.
Speaker 1: He is to be.
Speaker 2: But like also like, is he actually a good businessman?
Speaker 2: Or has he no? As he well yes? Or and
Speaker 2: but with Tesla or SpaceX, has he inserted himself into
Speaker 2: business models that are hard to fail? And this is
Speaker 2: the first time he's inserted himself into a business model
Speaker 2: that his decision making is directly affected, I would say
Speaker 2: of a company.
Speaker 1: Same with Tesla though right like there we just talked
Speaker 1: about a story about how there is a there is
Speaker 1: a subdivision within Tesla that is meant to gaslight car
Speaker 1: owners when they say the range isn't what it actually
Speaker 1: is that shows up on their dashboard, and that is
Speaker 1: by design Elon Musk, who wanted to fuck with the
Speaker 1: software that was displaying mileage to give you a fake,
Speaker 1: fucking actual range distance on your dashboard til you hit
Speaker 1: fifty percent battery, and then it showed you what you're
Speaker 1: really fucking with. And so a lot of people are like,
Speaker 1: how the fuck did I lose three miles after like
Speaker 1: going down the block. And then so this group within
Speaker 1: Tesla was made to say, oh yeah, you just drive
Speaker 1: them the car wrong whatever, man like, and if they
Speaker 1: could get and basically get them to cancel a service
Speaker 1: appointment at one of the Tesla service centers, because those
Speaker 1: service visits cost the company one thousand dollars and their
Speaker 1: whole point was to fucking gaslight the customer, so they
Speaker 1: did not go into a service center. And they also
Speaker 1: had ways of like blocking you from making an appointment
Speaker 1: on the app if they're like, man, this motherfucker is
Speaker 1: one of those range complainers, Like it's his hands are
Speaker 1: all over it and you can see, like right now,
Speaker 1: it's starting to get wobbly too. Like I think, like
Speaker 1: in La, in La, you see so many and I'm
Speaker 1: sure this is the other place too, so many people
Speaker 1: with Tesla's who have like some kind of sticker or
Speaker 1: some shit where they're like, look, I know I'm in
Speaker 1: a fucking Elon car, but fuck that guy. Like I've
Speaker 1: seen a few versions. I've seen an anti Elon Tesla
Speaker 1: club bumper sticker. I heard it says love my car,
Speaker 1: love my Tesla, hate Elon, Like it's I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's it's getting it's getting a bit out of hand.
Speaker 3: But I think and I will say that like when
Speaker 3: Tesla and Space Ex started, we didn't Elon was like
Speaker 3: a not a figure that we heard from, like he
Speaker 3: was there. Yeah, that Twitter gave him a voice, and
Speaker 3: I don't like his voice, like people don't like his
Speaker 3: Like now we get to see his ego in this
Speaker 3: very real way, where as before he was just kind
Speaker 3: of like.
Speaker 2: A mythical mythical We didn't know much about him, so
Speaker 2: we just equated some of these really cool things that
Speaker 2: these companies, because look, yeah, electric cars are great and
Speaker 2: self driving car.
Speaker 1: Look, I used to watch the Jetsons.
Speaker 2: I want that shit right all right, and go into
Speaker 2: space is fantastic and Space Export so like, these are
Speaker 2: very like cool things, and these are very forward things,
Speaker 2: and we just automatically and this is a lesson in
Speaker 2: society too, for all of us. We just automatically put
Speaker 2: that progressiveness or that that coolness onto him when we
Speaker 2: didn't know much about him. Yeah, and then you know,
Speaker 2: and then we pulled the curtain back and saw.
Speaker 1: It was funny because I remember, over the course of
Speaker 1: doing this podcast, we went from barely talking about Elon
Speaker 1: Musk and then slave being like man, man, fuck you
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure fuck this guy, actually, you know, and
Speaker 1: now we've reached you know, critical mass now where he's
Speaker 1: gone from tony starks in people's eyes to stony farts
Speaker 1: or whatever the he wants to go by. Hey man,
Speaker 1: don't be talking about my brother stony farts, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, farts the fucking fire man. All right,
Speaker 1: we will be right back to talk about gen Z
Speaker 1: yengst right after this. And we're back, and buckle up, folks.
Speaker 1: It's time for us to take a deep dive into
Speaker 1: the world of the internets and be utterly confused. I
Speaker 1: will admit before anybody, as a geriatric millennial, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure what the fuck is going on, but I do
Speaker 1: know this. For the last few years, I have thoroughly
Speaker 1: enjoyed the absolute roasting of millennial culture from gen Z.
Speaker 1: It's mostly on point and at times it's fucking transcendent.
Speaker 1: It's eye opening to be seen through the younger generation's
Speaker 1: eyes about like, what the fuck is wrong with these people?
Speaker 1: Some millennials to get a little hard, you know, as
Speaker 1: it was a reminder to us that it was no
Speaker 1: longer two thousand and six and we when we were
Speaker 1: the cool kids, out there with our weird ass outfits.
Speaker 2: Like I say, yes, as right as you are. The
Speaker 2: other half of me was also like, oh yeah, just
Speaker 2: fucking way.
Speaker 1: They're like we didn't have the internet to cook gen X,
Speaker 1: Like I'm sure we could have. Like yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: now we do it retrospectively, but yeah, I was like,
Speaker 1: time does come for you as well, t is coming
Speaker 1: for you, Tom does. And guess what we have arrived
Speaker 1: there Generation Alpha, which is the kids born between like
Speaker 1: twenty eleven, and now they are sending gen Z some
Speaker 1: of them into an existential panic. Uh and like say
Speaker 1: that light heartily based on the commentary around this meme,
Speaker 1: this meme race yourselves like gang you may know, you
Speaker 1: may not, and I this is the first time I
Speaker 1: heard it. It's called skibbitty toilet and you say, what
Speaker 1: the fuck is skibbitty toilet? So basically I'm gonna play
Speaker 1: a little bit and just so you know, it's a
Speaker 1: there's a remix of this track dom Dom Yes Yes,
Speaker 1: by Beiser King, who if you remember TikTok, there is
Speaker 1: like this Turkish dude who would be like like kind
Speaker 1: of gyrating his hips around like plates of food and
Speaker 1: stuff it's like boom, skibbitty up, bump bump, yes, yes, bump. Anyway,
Speaker 1: for people who are termally online like me, you know
Speaker 1: that track, there's like it's like remixed and there's a
Speaker 1: dude coming out of toilet. And I'm just gonna play
Speaker 1: a little bit for for us just to feast our
Speaker 1: eyes on it and try and give you some kind
Speaker 1: of running commentary as we look at it. And it
Speaker 1: is a visual thing for everybody.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think you guys should when you post
Speaker 2: on line about this episode, have a second slide and
Speaker 2: showing some of this toilet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, check out what check this s gibty.
Speaker 3: Out what the heck is going on?
Speaker 1: So there's an elevator with urinals and heads come out
Speaker 1: to toilet yep, and the big the nets the next
Speaker 1: that was it? That was it? That was one full up.
Speaker 1: That was one post about it, And I'm like, what
Speaker 1: the fuck was that? We got heads coming out of toilets.
Speaker 1: We have people with surveillance cameras on their heads. There
Speaker 1: are people with TVs on their heads and they fight
Speaker 1: in some of the videos. I cannot I don't know
Speaker 1: what the meaning is. And it's funny.
Speaker 3: I don't understand.
Speaker 1: I know, I don't you think.
Speaker 2: We've I think we've reached a point where the generations
Speaker 2: that are born like Jen A and or Alpha whatever
Speaker 2: you want to call them, and generations that are going
Speaker 2: to be born after that, we've reached a point where
Speaker 2: their brains are born broken.
Speaker 1: Because they're on screens as soon as they are fucking born.
Speaker 2: Like it's like I like, I know there is a
Speaker 2: four month old baby in my life, not mine, but
Speaker 2: like that I know, And and you got a kid
Speaker 2: miles like they know immediately, they know how to look
Speaker 2: at you pull a phone out, they know how to
Speaker 2: look at it. They can follow with there like they are.
Speaker 2: And I'm saying this likeheartedly that their brains are broken,
Speaker 2: but likes.
Speaker 1: Different the different reality for sure. I want to play this.
Speaker 1: So somebody one of these people who have like a
Speaker 1: younger gen Alpha sibling, they posted on TikTok of being
Speaker 1: like just like hey can can like their little brother.
Speaker 1: They're like, can you break down the skivity toilet? Mean?
Speaker 1: For me? This kid is like nine years old, and
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's I can't even follow what this
Speaker 1: kid is saying. That's what's so frustrating. About it, I
Speaker 1: think for other people. Okay, wait, so like why are
Speaker 1: skivity toilets and cameramen in the war.
Speaker 3: Because how did it?
Speaker 5: Because after.
Speaker 1: Before they saw each other, like what we got take
Speaker 1: over the city? Oh okay, the skivities were all of them,
Speaker 1: the skivvyes.
Speaker 4: Okay, So the skibbities are trying to take over the
Speaker 4: city and the camera men don't like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so cameraman are trying to save this city. Uh
Speaker 3: mmmm oh so we're talking about two different peoples, like the.
Speaker 1: Camera, the camera heads, the TV heads they got the
Speaker 1: second wine. Then there's the Skibbity toilets, which is the
Speaker 1: heads that.
Speaker 2: Come out the toilets urinals, and they and the camera
Speaker 2: people represent like the like corporate America or like the
Speaker 2: bad people in the world.
Speaker 1: You're going to de Skibbittyes, want to take over the
Speaker 1: city as this young man, So skimvityes take over. But
Speaker 1: the but the TV heads and the camera has fight
Speaker 1: them to prevent the takeover of the skibbity toys.
Speaker 2: To fight them, right because yeah, yeah yeah, And like
Speaker 2: the cameras are on their heads because they see all.
Speaker 1: Again that's too much. It feels like again I don't
Speaker 1: know again, like these kids are going to be They're
Speaker 1: the most online generation of all time. And I think
Speaker 1: it's just it's probably gonna be one of these things
Speaker 1: where like, even if it doesn't make sense to us,
Speaker 1: it's the aesthetic is probably gonna be what like SpongeBob
Speaker 1: Simpson's memes and shit are to us.
Speaker 3: Wait, I have a I have a question.
Speaker 1: Yes in the back.
Speaker 3: Yes, is this related to Minecraft at all? And how
Speaker 3: these kids are all into Minecraft?
Speaker 1: Minecraft? Again? Minecraft? I don't know. I mean, yeah, my
Speaker 1: my nephew plays the fuck out of my career.
Speaker 3: I talked to a ten year old last night and
Speaker 3: she plays Minecraft on the internet with someone else.
Speaker 1: Look as we are washed and old and if we
Speaker 1: said that to them, they would probably laugh at us
Speaker 1: and then vab.
Speaker 3: She did laugh at me when I asked that.
Speaker 1: I guess, okay, oh well, well Victor, well, producer Victor
Speaker 1: in the chat, Victor, what come on, hey, come in here,
Speaker 1: come in here. If you if you're about, don't you
Speaker 1: act like you know what's going on? Sorry for poor
Speaker 1: audio quality. No, producer, Victor, come through the building. Yes, yes, please, yes,
Speaker 1: with knowledge. So back in the day, people would use
Speaker 1: Gary's mod to mod video games and make little machinemos,
Speaker 1: which is just basically making a TV or a movie
Speaker 1: around video games essentially. So I think that's what it
Speaker 1: looks like here they're making the memes off of it.
Speaker 1: I'm butchering it, but I think it might be Unreal
Speaker 1: Engine three. Uh so there's a software you can where
Speaker 1: you can screw around with video game characters, and that's
Speaker 1: how they're making it. And then Animate didn't do all this. Okay,
Speaker 1: but Victor, now thank you for the technical part. But
Speaker 1: what the fuck is going on? Victor? I don't fucking know.
Speaker 1: This one's new to me. So again, like we we're
Speaker 1: trying to figure this out, and I get that this
Speaker 1: is just sort of what this is. So for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: the audio visual aesthetic that they love and it's just
Speaker 1: again like going back to this, I just loved it.
Speaker 1: The last year Zoomers have laughed at us for being
Speaker 1: truegy cringe. You know, we fucking love skinny jeans, the
Speaker 1: charcuterie bars and shit were washed. But they this is
Speaker 1: like one tweet from someone this is hilarious. Sid quote
Speaker 1: I just heard. I just overheard my sister talking about
Speaker 1: how gen z is old and stupid, and how they
Speaker 1: don't get their jokes. Hello, I am right here. I
Speaker 1: am only fifteen. She was born in twenty thirteen. Then
Speaker 1: she asked me if I knew what a skibbitty toilet was,
Speaker 1: please help me. What the fuck is this skibbity toilet?
Speaker 1: I feel old. Other commenters, like on these video have
Speaker 1: said they already feel quote outdated. Some are horrified that
Speaker 1: they don't understand what this meme is. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's why. I'm like, don't worry, y'all. It's just being
Speaker 1: washed is pretty comfortable at a certain point.
Speaker 2: You know, Hey, listen, man, you know I went to
Speaker 2: bed last night excited for sleep. I was so sleepy
Speaker 2: you couldn't fall asleep because insomnia eventually did. And woke
Speaker 2: up and was like, my body hurts, So like, you
Speaker 2: know that that's coming for all of y'all.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Well, you just sleep wrong.
Speaker 2: Oh you wake up and your whole damn body hurts,
Speaker 2: and you gotta get up and walk through the day
Speaker 2: to like relieve your pad.
Speaker 3: We didn't tell you have to do morning stretches, yeah,
Speaker 3: because you can't walk with that.
Speaker 1: The morning stretch. Hey, don't don't sit on that office
Speaker 1: seat with your ankle tucked under your butt like that
Speaker 1: wire which you get that it band pain like I did.
Speaker 1: But yeah again, I just love that. There's also like
Speaker 1: just this whole I don't know, there's like lack of
Speaker 1: acceptance around it, but I get it and I and
Speaker 1: what I tell them is these kids, they're they're they're
Speaker 1: the oldest ones are eleven. So Gen Z, you're still
Speaker 1: you're still firm in the driver's seat. Don't worry. Yeah bad, Yeah,
Speaker 1: But just some stats about Jen Alpha just quick hit
Speaker 1: off the census. This is going to be the most
Speaker 1: diverse generation ever, which makes sense I think just subsequently
Speaker 1: that's just what it's gonna be, because hey, we're gonna
Speaker 1: be living in a brown country soon. Baby. Generation Alpha
Speaker 1: will will also be the largest generation over two million
Speaker 1: by twenty twenty two billion by twenty twenty five. Seventy
Speaker 1: three percent of you A children hunder twelve use the internet,
Speaker 1: seventy three percent under twelve. I just start using the
Speaker 1: Internet till I was twelve. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now, how old is your baby?
Speaker 1: My baby is about to be six months old.
Speaker 3: How does it feel to have like a baby entering
Speaker 3: this shit. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Also, your baby may not be generation in alpha. Yeah
Speaker 1: you're I think it's baby's born from then until now.
Speaker 1: Like okay, but you know they changed that shit like yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: In retrospect, they'll go back and be like, actually, this
Speaker 2: generation was twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna tell them. I'm like, you're a millennial,
Speaker 1: Like you're dead. That's what we do.
Speaker 2: When we were first born, we were generation Why, like why, Yeah,
Speaker 2: we were Generation Why.
Speaker 1: And then and then it changed to we changed the millennials. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it was just more I think it was easier
Speaker 1: to follow. But anyway, so shout out to y'all. I
Speaker 1: get it. The slow creep of death comes for all
Speaker 1: of us. But just accept it and you will be saved.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you so much Taz and Jack
Speaker 1: Keith for joining me today. Appreciate us taking a journey

Speaker 3: Matrix and people submit like letters to her which are
Speaker 3: like glitches in the matrix right, And I don't know,

Speaker 3: either talks about like like people, what's it called NFT

Speaker 3: So I'm slowly turning into a conspiracy theorist, I.
Speaker 1: Guess is what's happening? Wait, you're way so on, so
Speaker 1: you're on that glitch talk shit too. You think there's
Speaker 1: MPCs walking around.
Speaker 3: I don't know about the NPC's part, but I like
Speaker 3: how people like submit alien stories and ghost stories to her.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'll fuck with that because I tell people,
Speaker 1: the people who believe we're in the matrix, I just
Speaker 1: keep saying, you're just suffering under capitalism. That's yeah.
Speaker 3: Those one I'm a little bit more sketched about.
Speaker 1: But like the woman who was on pause, Yeah yeah, I.

Speaker 2: You know, you know what I love about, Like, there's
Speaker 2: one thing I do love about being online is that
Speaker 2: the shit that you think only you do, somebody will
Speaker 2: make a meme of and you realize, oh shit, everybody
Speaker 2: do that. And there's a meme from Bone Boner Wizard
Speaker 2: at Boner Wizard and is I don't know if you've
Speaker 2: seen Oppenheimer yet, but there is.
Speaker 1: This isn't a spoiler, but there is like a part
Speaker 1: of the movie where he Killian Murphy.
Speaker 2: Is just sitting on the couch like butt ass naked
Speaker 2: with his legs crossed, sitting on the like love seat.
Speaker 1: And so that's the picture.
Speaker 2: And the thing says me at three am, trying to
Speaker 2: decide if I want a spoon of peanut butter or
Speaker 2: a handful of shredded cheese as a snack.
Speaker 1: And when I say that is so real?
Speaker 2: How often I will go to the fridge and just
Speaker 2: get handsfuls of cheese and just.
Speaker 1: Eat it and like a little scoop of peanut butter.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's so funny. I love it. That's why, like,
Speaker 1: as an adult, I like switch to block cheese, because
Speaker 1: what do I look like getting all these shredded cheddar
Speaker 1: flakes everywhere? Like you can just offend? I said, yeah,
Speaker 1: do you eat? Do you eat it straight from the
Speaker 1: block or do you cut off a little? My mother's
Speaker 1: voice echoes in my head where I can feel me
Speaker 1: getting smacked upside my head if she caught me doing
Speaker 1: some ship like that. And like, so now I keep
Speaker 1: it consistent. I'm like, consider that other people might want
Speaker 1: to bite of this block. It's not just your block, okay, myles?
Speaker 1: Can I can I say something for Tomorrow's episode. Yes,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the fans are gonna love this.

Speaker 1: gonna buy it. I'll buy like non slice, non shredded,
Speaker 1: and just take a fucking and just take a just

Speaker 1: maybe like a Cheddar, like.
Speaker 2: Yo, it gotta be like a check I mean energies,
Speaker 2: but like a Cheddar or something something that's.
Speaker 1: Ridiculous eating like a Pecorino romano that would be off
Speaker 1: the fucking wheel.

Speaker 1: Yeah, and then this whole body shape with just yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm of a rectangle in my windpipe based Yeah, you
Speaker 1: don't have to eat the whole block.
