Speaker 3: like a sad movie about like a like a guy
Speaker 3: who leaves his family to fight forest fires. And I'm like,
Speaker 3: this is a perfect movie. This is the kind of
Speaker 3: thing I'm into. Wait, so I've just been googling everybody

Speaker 2: a communist, that's a communist.
Speaker 3: Like Ron Reagan.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, exactly exactly, you know, And what's look to
Speaker 1: the site the heights that they soared to I know, yeah,
Speaker 1: at the very least, Elliot Kazan got like massively hated
Speaker 1: on for a long period.
Speaker 2: I mean, so did Reagan. But that didn't matter because he,
Speaker 2: if not.
Speaker 1: Didn't matter m president, because look, he made everybody rich
Speaker 1: in the eighties and they forgot about it all. Wait,

Speaker 2: That's yeah, I didn't you know, I forget that. That's like,
Speaker 2: uh a genre or the dram. Yeah, like some things
Speaker 2: are romantic and just dramatic the whole time. I feel
Speaker 2: like I only ever see those as like HBO Max
Speaker 2: TV movies like the one with Oscar Isaac and Jessica
Speaker 2: Chastain where they're just arguing for like six episodes and
Speaker 2: you're just like, uh, why uh why why do they
Speaker 2: make this? And uh then people are like, wasn't it great?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I don't know. I don't know what
Speaker 2: people think is great. I don't understand great anymore. What's good?
Speaker 2: I don't know what.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what how we define anything any Yeah,
Speaker 1: house is great.
Speaker 3: They're just arguing.
Speaker 1: That's like, but that that kind of movie is like
Speaker 1: my mom's favorite is just loves to get ripped apart
Speaker 1: by cinema and be like, oh my god.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Drom com are their mom drama coms.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's the sub genre.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the mom dram, the mom dram the mom rom
Speaker 2: drum for them drums.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely absolutely gave. What's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 3: Okay, So I've been thinking about this because when you're
Speaker 3: an artist, there's a million ways you gotta have income
Speaker 3: and streams and stuff like that. And so this week
Speaker 3: my thing that's overrated is buy is merch and buying
Speaker 3: too many koozies with your.
Speaker 2: Name on them.
Speaker 3: Oh now, I'm just drowning and koozies? Did you buy?
Speaker 3: Is that you? Oh?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: I bought coozies?
Speaker 1: Man, I'm outside downings man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and everyone's like, buy merch, that's where you make
Speaker 3: your margins. And I was like cool. So like we're
Speaker 3: selling coasters, we're selling buttons, pins, whatever, stickers, but these koozies, man,
Speaker 3: are not moving and the creator economy is real. Can
Speaker 3: you give me an idea how many koozies you're sitting
Speaker 3: there right now? So it was a deal they like,
Speaker 3: they were like, you know more dam Like, well, here's
Speaker 3: the thing, bro, I got a deal.
Speaker 2: Is this MLM. What happened here?
Speaker 1: I got to buy five thousand to save three thousand, printed.
Speaker 3: Them in the wrong color, so they I wanted white
Speaker 3: with black and now they're white with like this weird green.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, I wouldn't buy these either. So I
Speaker 3: have like three hundred and fifty coozies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do they say on them?
Speaker 3: They so it's it's the name of my show Solo.
Speaker 3: But then it's a parody of the Star Wars movie Solo,
Speaker 3: so it says Solo in Star Wars font and then
Speaker 3: it says a gay Malaca story, which I think is
Speaker 3: really fun. Yeah, and like we kind of our plan
Speaker 3: is to get sued by Disney so that we get
Speaker 3: all the free publicity in the New York Post, but
Speaker 3: no one's buying the coozies to sue us.
Speaker 2: So I'm.
Speaker 1: I mean, do you just fuck around in the Justice
Speaker 1: Show just once and dresses Han Solo and make it
Speaker 1: like just a absolute rip off of the IP so
Speaker 1: you get it hit with a season desist. I would
Speaker 1: love that because it would go postal. I mean, like
Speaker 1: that's amaze. That would be interesting like marketing thing, Like
Speaker 1: you get enough friends who have like blogs or can
Speaker 1: write you up in like websites and people are like
Speaker 1: this Han Solo Solo show is a mind blowing and
Speaker 1: then that's got to be like there's got to be
Speaker 1: people at Disney be like, what the fuck is this?
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you plug the merch at the end of
Speaker 2: the show Like a road comic, you know, the.
Speaker 3: Show like ends on like a it's it's it's a
Speaker 3: it ends on a big laugh. But I'm also just
Speaker 3: like it's more like, please tell your friends to buy
Speaker 3: tickets more sounded that is like buy a shirt on
Speaker 3: your way out?
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, right right, you got you gotta activate that
Speaker 1: capitalist scene you gave.
Speaker 2: That's my favorite thing that road comics do, and I'm
Speaker 2: not above it. I've done it. It's like you tell
Speaker 2: your closer, you know, it's like, uh, I forget which
Speaker 2: comedian had this joke, but it was like a free
Speaker 2: Hugs shirt, you know, was what if Hugs was a
Speaker 2: bear that was in prison? And it was like it
Speaker 2: was like a great it was a great closer. And
Speaker 2: then he was like, all right, guys, done that. Here,
Speaker 2: I got some shirts and it just was the exact
Speaker 2: joke that he did, and I was like, man, I
Speaker 2: forgot that that we're actually in a different business, like
Speaker 2: comedy is actually just a one hour pitch for some
Speaker 2: merch that you at the end, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like hopefully we've established enough common ground. I told
Speaker 1: you that I have a child, and you understand this
Speaker 1: is not an easy life. Therefore, yes, I do have
Speaker 1: some CDs back there. You know some of Gabe Molca's
Speaker 1: beer Cozy's that I bought off of him in a deal.

Speaker 1: What's something you think is underrated?
Speaker 3: All right, I'm very passionate about this because sushi is
Speaker 3: expensive everywhere. There's a twenty four hour grocery store next
Speaker 3: to my apartment that for like six bucks you can
Speaker 3: get a sushi roll, and it is just powering my
Speaker 3: whole life. Yeah, so grocery store sushi when it's good
Speaker 3: under yeah, yeah yeah, if you can get it.
Speaker 1: Like there's a there's a local market that I'm surprised
Speaker 1: sells sushi, but it seems like they have a business
Speaker 1: where like this sushi company owns the refrigerator case that
Speaker 1: they're just asking market to have in there. So I
Speaker 1: found out when they come drop the ship, and so
Speaker 1: the times I've gone for the drop and I'm like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is fucking this is great for fucking seven bucks.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I knew it was good when they started to
Speaker 3: use that health food store as a as like a
Speaker 3: sham restaurant on grub Hub where you buy sushi and
Speaker 3: you don't know, I'm like, oh, they think they're a
Speaker 3: whole restaurant.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, I love I love outing a good ghost restaurant.
Speaker 2: That's always, yeah favorite. Yea.
Speaker 3: Remember during the pandemic it was chuck E Cheese. They
Speaker 3: changed the name. They were like raise famous and it was.
Speaker 2: Just a Chuckie Cheese up and Chris is Hot Chicken,
Speaker 2: and you just it's like, this is Denny's. Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 2: that everyone yeah, everyone just was like Squally's. That's what.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well done. Well yeah.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: That's the other thing though, too.
Speaker 1: If you got an Asian market nearby, or like someone
Speaker 1: has like a good fishmonger, you could save money buying
Speaker 1: sashimi grade fish and just buy your own microwave rice
Speaker 1: and put a little bit of sushi, like buy yourself
Speaker 1: some sushi seasoning vinegar for your rice, do the microwave pack,
Speaker 1: and you could buy a fucking big ass piece of
Speaker 1: fresh salmon for fucking like six seven bucks by my
Speaker 1: house and I'm my brother to slice this up.
Speaker 3: Shit, I love that TikTok guy, the sushi guy. He
Speaker 3: goes to Costco and buys a big piece of salmon
Speaker 3: and just turns it into sushi. Oh, breaks it down.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, you gotta do that. I'd be afraid of
Speaker 2: the parasite.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he explains all that. He explains that they're in there.
Speaker 2: You'll be good. You just take pills for that. They
Speaker 2: eat the pills your life.

Speaker 1: You'll be fine. You'll be fine, You'll be fine, He'll
Speaker 1: be fine. All right, we're gonna take a break. Let's
Speaker 1: come back and we'll talk about the life and times
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: After this, and we're back.
Speaker 1: But Trump dump Yeah Trump that time lawyer edition. So
Speaker 1: he's got some new legal ship to deal with that.
Speaker 1: And by that, I mean, who knows if this will
Speaker 1: affect anything?
Speaker 2: Fred It won't.
Speaker 1: Okay, good, I think the Vegas the Vegas odds are on.
Speaker 1: It won't do anything. And he is going to run away,
Speaker 1: obviously with the nomination. And then of course we'll see
Speaker 1: how uh see how Joe Byron does. There are there
Speaker 1: are rumblings of people of of of someone maybe potentially
Speaker 1: getting in the race. Uh, but we see, we'll see
Speaker 1: where that goes before we start talking about it. But anyway,
Speaker 1: Sidney Powell, a k A. Lady Cracking, the cracking lawyer
Speaker 1: lady who was like, oh we got the goods, trust me.

Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani aka the jin Goblin, and she will now
Speaker 1: testify in order to walk out Okay, that courthouse with
Speaker 1: around seven to eight thousand dollars in fines and six
Speaker 1: years of probation. Wow, that seems when I saw that
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's all you fucking get, yeah, fucking being
Speaker 1: like your chart, you're in a rico fucking case. And
Speaker 1: you flip and like, all right, how about like seven
Speaker 1: grand defines and six months six years proby? And I'm
Speaker 1: just thinking, what about that black mom who went to

Speaker 1: kids in a better school. She's in prison. But Lady Kraken,
Speaker 1: let me see it.
Speaker 2: You think her attorney was like, you see this is

Speaker 2: and I know it's an unfair comparison, but it's very
Speaker 2: cute adjacent to be like no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: trust me, this is all gonna be like this, this
Speaker 2: is gonna happen. It's like both sides have no idea
Speaker 2: how the legal system works on what side. It's like
Speaker 2: it's not a fantasy revenge machine. Enough people and then
Speaker 2: for like libs or like it works for everyone equally.
Speaker 2: Both of them are just totally and utterly convinced of
Speaker 2: the competence of the people that they believe in, whether
Speaker 2: it's like the competence of the institutions they believe in
Speaker 2: or the competence of the demagogue. They put their trust
Speaker 2: into it, but they just believe it, like when the
Speaker 2: truth of it is is like it's all in competence.
Speaker 2: Nobody is competent. I never see a good example of competence,
Speaker 2: either in fucking like government or in the private set.
Speaker 2: It's just like, no, why would you believe anyone would
Speaker 2: be competent? You're crazy what you libs and Q It's
Speaker 2: very very simple. It's very simple, and like I understand
Speaker 2: one of them. I do understand wanting to believe in
Speaker 2: the system, But how.
Speaker 3: Many are I believe they're going to go you on that?
Speaker 2: Where we go one we do go all?
Speaker 3: Epstein didn't kill.
Speaker 2: Him, he didn't kill up.
Speaker 1: Little little little overlap on that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, I'm just saying, it's just like fucking
Speaker 2: uh like I want, I want, I want justice to
Speaker 2: be served. I'm not against it. I just I'm not
Speaker 2: holding my breath, guys, that's all. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, we're Metallica fans who want justice for all,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that's all. That's all. We're probably gonna, you know, be,
Speaker 2: We're probably gonna reload, and then we're gonna be feeling
Speaker 2: all that Saint Anger I'm trying to do other albums.
Speaker 1: Sat Anger round my neck, Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Of course, of course, and maybe we
Speaker 1: will all be unforgiven part.
Speaker 2: Yes, and maybe we will ride the lightning.
Speaker 3: Thank you. Yeah, I mean again, I was.
Speaker 1: I would say this just to give myself the opportunity
Speaker 1: to be absolutely stunned by the legal system. If they're
Speaker 1: like guilty. Yeah, man, you going away now about seven
Speaker 1: years for that. And I'm like, what, Yeah, I'd rather
Speaker 1: have that reaction than I need to be fully cynical
Speaker 1: rather than be like it's Mueller time, baby, like yes,
Speaker 1: come on.
Speaker 2: And I have been pleasantly surprised a few times when
Speaker 2: he did actually get indicted and then arrested and mug
Speaker 2: shot it. I was like, Okay, okay, that's something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but you know this idea that like, even if he
Speaker 2: is convicted, I'm like, just think he's seeing the inside
Speaker 2: of a jail cell. I just don't think so. No,
Speaker 2: I don't believe it.
Speaker 3: It's hard.
Speaker 1: But anyway, this isn't the end, you know, this is
Speaker 1: there's something else going on because in DC, the DC
Speaker 1: federal case against him that's being prosecuted by Jack Smith
Speaker 1: about overturning the twenty twenty election. There's a development here.
Speaker 1: So up to now, Trump and his lawyers have been
Speaker 1: doing this like double speak to try and make it
Speaker 1: seem like he's innocent or has like a real defense
Speaker 1: against these charges. He's like claiming, He's like, well, I'm
Speaker 1: innocent because the lawyers I've had lawyers look at what happened,
Speaker 1: and I was off their advice that I was told
Speaker 1: that it was all vetted. So how could I think
Speaker 1: I'm doing a crime if the lawyers vetted it and
Speaker 1: told me to do it, And that's the only thing
Speaker 1: I was doing. I was just going off of this.
Speaker 1: So that defense is known as the advice of council
Speaker 1: defense and so, and up to this point seemed like
Speaker 1: his only decent shot in terms of like a defense
Speaker 1: that might make sense. But all the while, right he
Speaker 1: were like, oh, if they told you do it, Like
Speaker 1: can we see the proof there? He's like no, just
Speaker 1: it's attorney client privilege. Yeah, And You're like, motherfucker, what
Speaker 1: is it? Like we say this, what the fuck's going on?
Speaker 1: So Jack Smith has now asked the judge to make
Speaker 1: Trump decide what the fuck we're doing here, like are
Speaker 1: you going to use the advice of council defense? And
Speaker 1: if he says that's the defense, he will have to
Speaker 1: reveal all relevant communication with his lawyers about the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty election. The attorney client privilege like privilege. I said
Speaker 1: that like Joe Namath when he was fucked up at
Speaker 1: that game with Susie. Colbert completely goes out the fucking win.
Speaker 1: So if he wants to hide those documents with under
Speaker 1: you know, behind attorney client privilege, he's gonna have to
Speaker 1: basically jettison the only defense that he may have had. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so this is actually the first time I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's that feels like an interesting outmaneuvering.
Speaker 3: Or also, Trump is just so fucking.
Speaker 1: Bad and his lawyers are so craven that of course,
Speaker 1: like he's like, no, I didn't plan this, bro, They're
Speaker 1: just so transparently bad at this. So we will see
Speaker 1: where that goes. But that's a that's an interesting.
Speaker 2: It's definitely the second one. Yeah, they are bad at this.
Speaker 2: They are not They are not good at this. The
Speaker 2: weapon that he uses legally has never been as far
Speaker 2: as I can tell, at least from his presidency, It's
Speaker 2: never been like the competence of the lawyers, like you know,
Speaker 2: maneuvering through the legal system, finding the loopholes. It's just
Speaker 2: having a lot of money and tying things up into
Speaker 2: litigation for fucking ever. That's that's always been his weapons,
Speaker 2: Like I have an endless pool of money and both
Speaker 2: and individuals don't have the time.
Speaker 1: To do exactly They're like I will just fucking wear
Speaker 1: you out.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, well, he.
Speaker 3: Stiffs the lawyers. He's running through lawyers, so like eventually,
Speaker 3: like it's a circle that eats itself where he has
Speaker 3: to find like dumb people who will not only are
Speaker 3: they dumb, but they're they know they're gonna get screwed
Speaker 3: because they know they're not gonna pay them.
Speaker 1: Because then what is if he does and he just
Speaker 1: fucking says, you know what, fuck it, I'm just I'm
Speaker 1: gonna punt my legal team, like y'all gonna have to
Speaker 1: eat this one. Can you imagine what the fuck they're
Speaker 1: gonna do to protect themself? Like, yeah, that's why who
Speaker 1: knows where this fucking thing goes. It's a mess, and
Speaker 1: it's disaster for just everyone because so un serious.
Speaker 2: It's why I understand being like he's gotta go to jail, right,
Speaker 2: It's why I feel you, dog, But it just yeah,
Speaker 2: it hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 3: No, not quite yet.
Speaker 1: But what's really funny too, is like he's been he
Speaker 1: was just in you know court in New York. Who's
Speaker 1: fucking whining about He's like, it's a political hit job.
Speaker 1: I'm being forced to be here. That's what they want
Speaker 1: to do. They want to keep me off the campaign trail.
Speaker 1: This is all election interference, dude. This guy fucking lost
Speaker 1: track of his lies, like within the same conversation, because
Speaker 1: right after that someone asked him if he's gonna be
Speaker 1: in court tomorrow. I'm just gonna play this for you.
Speaker 1: Just know that he was out here screaming, being like
Speaker 1: they're trying to fucking and my campaign by forcing me to.
Speaker 3: Be here, and then this is what we got.
Speaker 4: But this is what we go through because they want
Speaker 4: to keep me here instead of Iowa, New Hampshire, South
Speaker 4: Carolina and lots of other great places.
Speaker 5: They want me to be here.
Speaker 1: And tomorrow probably not, probably will have a very big tournament,
Speaker 1: professional golf tournament at Durrell.
Speaker 3: So probably I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: They're keeping me here. I'm locked in a cage. Oh tomorrow,
Speaker 2: Tomorrow's not do for me.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna at a golf tournament.
Speaker 2: Oh, i gotta play golf.
Speaker 1: Probably not talking to like sounded like Don Junior asking
Speaker 1: if he's gonna show up to his graduation dad.
Speaker 3: Probably not, probably not have a golf tournament. And you
Speaker 3: can't see it on the podcast, but in the video
Speaker 3: he answers the first part and then starts to leave,
Speaker 3: and then they ask him about golf and he turns
Speaker 3: back around. He's like, no, no, no, actually I do
Speaker 3: want to plug the tournament.
Speaker 2: He's halfway out, and then he's like, oh, that's right,
Speaker 2: that's probably not Ah, that's right.
Speaker 1: We're having a great big.
Speaker 2: Golf great field, great golf course.
Speaker 3: We love it. You're gonna love you. Well, it's not
Speaker 3: involved with the Saudis.
Speaker 2: No, don't worry about my very good friend NBS will
Speaker 2: be there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he'll be there in costume incognito. Uh you know well,
Speaker 1: and we are giving tours of where Ivana is buried.
Speaker 1: It's underneath a bunch of weheks and the tax break yeah,
Speaker 1: which is still like again like the fucking low energy
Speaker 1: scams of this fucking and again that's how you know
Speaker 1: we live in a fucking clown show, yeh, where if
Speaker 1: you look a certain way man, things canna work out.
Speaker 3: Fucking beautiful. He's just tall, man, He's just tall and
Speaker 3: he talks.
Speaker 1: Have you seen like those images where people are saying
Speaker 1: he wears like these kinds of lifts, like he walks
Speaker 1: weird because he's on his toes inside of his shis
Speaker 1: so funny.
Speaker 2: I love people drawing them too. Yeah, like on inside, Yeah,
Speaker 2: they'll drawl and it's always just like this little ballerina.
Speaker 2: There's always a high arch that I'm always like, people
Speaker 2: are really getting into details on these.
Speaker 1: Right, and I don't like. I'm like, yeah if so,
Speaker 1: though he is working those wedges. Yeah, and in a
Speaker 1: way I will have to give it up because it's
Speaker 1: not easy.
Speaker 2: I'm here walking like the cabs. Strength alone, I know
Speaker 2: he should be able to dump probably those like jump sat.
Speaker 1: All right, Netflix boo, they're raising prices. Boo. Why they
Speaker 1: had a huge surge of subscribers nearly nine million in
Speaker 1: the third quarter of this year, which means they're raising prices.
Speaker 2: Fuck did they get more? Are there any people who
Speaker 2: don't have Netflix? I don't understand when they're like every
Speaker 2: year we get more, and it's like how Yeah, people
Speaker 2: buying accounts for their babies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just because they crashed down on the sharing is
Speaker 3: people have to Oh that could be.

Speaker 1: notices where they're like, uh, we see you, asshole. Are
Speaker 1: you traveling or some shit?

Speaker 3: Maybe you.
Speaker 2: I'm I was on my sisters. I got kicked off
Speaker 2: my sisters at some point. I was like, here it is,
Speaker 2: this is it end of the line for meh?
Speaker 1: God?
Speaker 2: Yeah? And then I like signed back in and it worked,
Speaker 2: and I was like fuck yeah, sick hell. And then
Speaker 2: I clicked out the menu for an hour and didn't
Speaker 2: find a single fucking thing to watch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, exactly. Man, that's the worst. Like, like when
Speaker 1: I have the worst habit of when I eat something
Speaker 1: like sometimes I mean, like I gotta watch something like
Speaker 1: to coincide, my food has mold on it. Ye by
Speaker 1: the time I select something right. It's a terrible fucking
Speaker 1: trait to have. But I think, are we the same guy?
Speaker 2: Because I do the exact same thing and everyone calls
Speaker 2: me a fucking crazy person because of it. Everyone's just like,
Speaker 2: eat your food. I'm like, I haven't.
Speaker 3: Found something to watch.
Speaker 1: I've already seen every episode of Arrested Development.
Speaker 2: I will let it get cold until I find something
Speaker 2: to watch. It is now that I hate eating doing
Speaker 2: more than eating and searching for something. It's or like.
Speaker 1: Turning something off in the middle, like realizing as you'm like, nah,
Speaker 1: this is an l and you're like, fuck, now I
Speaker 1: gotta find something else.
Speaker 3: I have like three bites out of my.
Speaker 2: Sandwich, right yeah, and now it's like your sandwich feels
Speaker 2: like it's been violated because you're started eating it during
Speaker 2: like you know, the intro of the presidency, the Pelican brief,
Speaker 2: and you're like, I didn't want to watch that, Gabe.
Speaker 3: Do you have the same affliction? Well yeah, and then
Speaker 3: they play those trailers and so you just just end
Speaker 3: up watching those trailers and it's such a bad system.
Speaker 3: And then you go on like Amazon Prime and you
Speaker 3: try to watch a video in there, and they're like
Speaker 3: this interface is terrible. Just yeah, put me back in
Speaker 3: the Netflix.
Speaker 1: Like if you pause and turn off your Apple TV,
Speaker 1: if you turn it back on and it just brings
Speaker 1: it up again, it's like, sorry, bro, you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to relaunch this shit, Like yeah, it looks like it's
Speaker 1: gonna work, but it's fucked.
Speaker 3: They have more money than anybody, and they're just like
Speaker 3: we don't care what it looks like.
Speaker 1: Whatever, Yeah, but the fuck, I mean, you got to
Speaker 1: sift through way more trash on Amazon, Like, it's also
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime. If I'm really high, I'll be like, I
Speaker 1: know I can find some terrible like like the Pacific
Speaker 1: Rim meets Fast and Furious meets Barbie type of like
Speaker 1: hype mash up film. That's what I like.
Speaker 2: There's a there's almost like a commitment to being like
Speaker 2: we might not have that much good shit, but but
Speaker 2: some wild bullshit.
Speaker 1: Yeah like search, Yeah, we got it all we got to,

Speaker 2: Oh yeah, one hundred percent. I second that love Plex.
Speaker 2: My friend had a Plex, had me on his server
Speaker 2: for a while and I was going through all of
Speaker 2: his stuff. It was great, but then his shit is
Speaker 2: so slow. So if you got a fast one and
Speaker 2: you really like me, yeah, well, if you.
Speaker 1: Got a fast one and you really like that, look
Speaker 1: it up. But anyway, they're raising the prices in the
Speaker 1: US and UK and France for the basic and premium
Speaker 1: plans from like nine to eleven ninety nine and nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety nine to twenty two ninety nine.
Speaker 2: Can you explain to me what the fuck a premium

Speaker 2: a we have an EPSOM projector that. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And also ship doesn't look good at four K. Like,
Speaker 1: to be honest, it's just every.
Speaker 2: Time I see it, I'm just like, I don't like
Speaker 2: this feeling I'm getting. I don't want to see anything.
Speaker 1: Sports are like something like nature, something like you want
Speaker 1: to see the details. Fine, but like in a dramatic thing,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm good with ten eighty.
Speaker 3: You know, we don't go for them that.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be inside of Downton Abbey. That's weird.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you will be. But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: So like everyone's like, where's the money going because there's
Speaker 1: no there's no US productions right now, and so they're
Speaker 1: making more nonscripted ship like there's like a celebrity golf
Speaker 1: tournament they're doing. It's like, oh, Donald Trump, Wow, I
Speaker 1: can't think of something we want less. And they're also
Speaker 1: making fucking physical stores.
Speaker 2: What you guys hear about this? Do you see this?
Speaker 3: You hear about this?
Speaker 2: You seen this? Have you heard about that?
Speaker 1: Okay, I've heard about this, You've seen this?
Speaker 3: He heard about this?
Speaker 1: So Netflix they're making a thing called supposing Netflix House
Speaker 1: where they're gonna be like selling merch themed food and
Speaker 1: quote immersive experiences based on their shows.
Speaker 2: Sounds like something that just happens. Is like the pop
Speaker 2: ups in LA where they'll be like, come see the
Speaker 2: Stranger Things experience, you know, But like what they're gonna
Speaker 2: do this in more than just LA. They're gonna have
Speaker 2: a merch store and fucking Hoboken. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Maybe they're like you can get a fucking Stranger Things
Speaker 1: crew neck sweatshirt and some of that Champion barbecue from
Speaker 1: the Barbecue Cookoff show.
Speaker 2: To sell it at Target. You idiots, that's so true.
Speaker 2: You don't need a brick and mortar store. Can you
Speaker 2: rent videos? Is this Blockbuster? What's happening the.
Speaker 1: Fucking irony that we left the Blockbuster era only to
Speaker 1: come back to the Netflix House era, where it's like
Speaker 1: I kind of need like physical space activations.
Speaker 2: I'd understand if there were movie theaters. You know, we're
Speaker 2: gonna make our own chane of movie theaters. If only, yeah,
Speaker 2: if only to just you know, qualify for a word
Speaker 2: season whatever. Stupid right, right, Like come to the Netflix
Speaker 2: House is fucking stupid.
Speaker 3: Who has loyalty to their streamer? Who were just like
Speaker 3: it's whatever's on there is what I care about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, oh this show went to the other streamer,
Speaker 1: then fuck y'all just watch that? Yeah, like what happened
Speaker 1: to people?

Speaker 1: No, all right, all right.
Speaker 2: This is a Toby House.
Speaker 6: That's a sketching sree father who insists kids can only
Speaker 6: watch too weird, weird ass Thanksgiving dinner with a family
Speaker 6: where someone's like fucked up the status quo of the
Speaker 6: family by now watching Max.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 7: I also love the idea of the two brick and
Speaker 7: mortar store that they may amount of sense. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 7: they ridiculous. Yeah, like boot legs.
Speaker 2: It's they have those like screeners where there's people in
Speaker 2: the movie theater just in the camp corner.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have like it's like, yeah, we smell, we
Speaker 1: sell like methadone. Like blank VHS tapes we got up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: barbecue barbecue tools, we got it.
Speaker 2: Like what why why is this owned by Bubbles from
Speaker 2: the Wire?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he's cost he's a cosplayer. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's really into the I P.
Speaker 3: Yeah. The two B Store should be all Kirkland brand
Speaker 3: Costco knockoffs. Yeah, it's not Netflix, but yeah, exactly. Oh,
Speaker 3: you guys are gonna love Downtown Abbot Downtown Elementary.
Speaker 2: It's an old time It's it's like Abbott Elementary but
Speaker 2: without all the you know, the black people.
Speaker 3: Bish.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how you know, kind of how it was back
Speaker 1: in the day. You know, back what America was great
Speaker 1: in America was England. What the is It's still in
Speaker 1: Philadelphia though, It's like what how what the fuck? We're
Speaker 1: just we want you to imagine something different. But honestly,
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, like I
Speaker 1: was always saying with the writers and sag after it
Speaker 1: strikes happening that the studios and networks are going to
Speaker 1: find a way to not pay these like the gains
Speaker 1: that have been made, right, whether that's leaning on AI
Speaker 1: and like just eviscerating like whole departments or something, or
Speaker 1: completely changing marketing strategy or something there. Because I was like,
Speaker 1: there's no way they're gonna be like, all right, they
Speaker 1: won I guess we're gonna have to take a little
Speaker 1: bit less.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh darn, they're just like kicking dirt at their.
Speaker 1: Feel like, fucket, we're raising the price on all you
Speaker 1: fucking losers.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, they didn't give us ship. It's just it's
Speaker 2: funny because they could have done this the whole time, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: like this has always been their option. Was just like
Speaker 2: all right, i't just raise the prices and it's just
Speaker 2: like you were gonna raise them anyways. You're just mad
Speaker 2: that you have to now in order to continue your up,
Speaker 2: You're you gotta growth numbers. Yeah, line gotta go up.
Speaker 2: I gotta go up, dude, or what else is a
Speaker 2: business for? But not? If not for line go up?
Speaker 1: How far does it go up?
Speaker 3: Dude?
Speaker 2: Forever?
Speaker 4: Not to heaven because we've because we've killed the Earth
Speaker 4: on our so we all go to heaven. Trust me,
Speaker 4: I'm helping you. I'm bringing about the rapture through.
Speaker 2: Go up until you reach litl Wayne status. You're gonna
Speaker 2: get a space shuttle or a ladder. That's forever.
Speaker 3: All right, We're taking a break.
Speaker 1: We're coming back to actually let's talk about some serious
Speaker 1: ship the rapture after this.
Speaker 3: And we're back.
Speaker 1: And before we move through this piece, I just want
Speaker 1: to warn the listeners. I hope you are right with God. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not, because if you're not right with God, your
Speaker 1: ass may go poof like Obi Wan Kenobi when he
Speaker 1: pulled up to fucking Darth Vader in that fucking Star Destroyer.
Speaker 1: You feel me, yeah, I do feel You don't want that,
Speaker 1: you don't wan to be an empty pilot clothes because
Speaker 1: you were right with God. Now with that set and
Speaker 1: now you know the fucking the stance of this show,
Speaker 1: we are pro rapture, propre there's this whole thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: So for people who aren't like me and were subjected
Speaker 1: to countless years of Lutheran and Catholic teachings at school,
Speaker 1: the rapture, you know, is that special day when the
Speaker 1: good Christians are called up to heaven and the rest
Speaker 1: of us sick fucks are left behind. But in my
Speaker 1: mind I always saw that as like I think people,
Speaker 1: those motherfuckers died, right, I mean like, I'm like, they
Speaker 1: didn't get called.
Speaker 2: It's like if you vanished, bro.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to know that. I don't
Speaker 1: want to know where that was. I'm good with this
Speaker 1: hell I'm experiencing now. But anyway, is the question now
Speaker 1: is is this rapture already happening? Because on TikTok there
Speaker 1: are a bunch of these fucking weird, low budget videos
Speaker 1: of people randomly disappearing in an instant like this video,
Speaker 1: and I'm and I have to play this for our
Speaker 1: in studio guests, and uh and we will have these
Speaker 1: links in the footnotes so you can see you. But
Speaker 1: this is a video of like supposed family who is
Speaker 1: pushing their daughter on a swing. And then I guess
Speaker 1: Christ based disaster strikes hell. Yeah, I love a good
Speaker 1: christ based disaster. It's the best kind, Charlie smile. So
Speaker 1: it's a family in the backyard, my beautiful family, so contrived,
Speaker 1: but let's pretend it's real.
Speaker 3: Pick your perfect models.
Speaker 2: They're going to do the exact same thing.
Speaker 1: Yes, I know, question being pushed on a swing and
Speaker 1: their backyard. Let's go higher to christ consciousness.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hi, hi, mommy, I want to die again.
Speaker 1: Look at her.
Speaker 3: Oh she's so beautiful.
Speaker 5: Their having says, oh oh Charlie, and their has today
Speaker 5: dot so come on good this thing called perhaps today
Speaker 5: dot org.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you another one. Okay, that's the family
Speaker 1: in the swing. This one is from a school bus,
Speaker 1: apparently where a children are raptured on a school bus.
Speaker 2: This was on TikTok oh. Hell yeah. Oh and it's
Speaker 2: hidden camera video.
Speaker 1: So you know that there's a circle on this little girl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see there's a You see a little girl.
Speaker 2: She's in a circle. Everyone's sitting on the bus and look.
Speaker 3: Everybody disappears gone.
Speaker 2: Why didn't they circle the one girl? If everyone disappeared.
Speaker 3: Like I waited for I was waiting for that kid to.
Speaker 2: Bus, the old bus disappeared, white circle girl.
Speaker 1: That was the most yanky, fucking jump cut I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: It looks like if you remember the movie Speed, probably
Speaker 1: they had to fucking put the tape on a loop
Speaker 1: to fucking throw Dennis Hopper off the set that they were.
Speaker 1: It's the exact same like look and few if it's
Speaker 1: like and now they're gone, Like remember he noticed that
Speaker 1: ladies purse kept. Yeah, first first got raptured. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: these things are like there's like more and I'm they're
Speaker 1: apparently they're all over the fucking place and like you
Speaker 1: like we saw at the end, there's a u r
Speaker 1: L that says perhaps today dot org. The website reveals
Speaker 1: that this is all not real. In fact, these are
Speaker 1: this is part of a celebrity evangelist what he calls
Speaker 1: pre enactments, So they're not technically a hoax because they're
Speaker 1: they are actually gonna happen, So like, don't fucking act
Speaker 1: like as a hoax. This ship will happen to you
Speaker 1: if you're not right with God.
Speaker 2: Creative as ship. As much as I think this is
Speaker 2: an abomination, pre enactment is a little bit genius.
Speaker 3: That's what it's like. Do you know that line in
Speaker 3: Dodgeball when he's like it's a metaphor, but it really happened.
Speaker 3: They're like you could like you're eventually gonna disappear, but
Speaker 3: then we'll just show it literally and so like they're
Speaker 3: just not good English students, like just how symbolism works, right, right,
Speaker 3: terrible video editors are dying in this country. We need
Speaker 3: to fix this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if you're bad enough, you actually can create
Speaker 2: some magic and pre enactment is magical, dude, that's magical.
Speaker 1: I love fucking way you people bend their minds. Yeah,
Speaker 1: coming up with phrase like bless you doctor David Jeremiah,
Speaker 1: which sounds like an evangelist, scam artist already, that's the
Speaker 1: guy's fucking name, and he's certain he's selling like this
Speaker 1: quote new teaching series and book that's all about the rapture.
Speaker 1: But he says, worry not because it's not quote a
Speaker 1: series of doom and gloom scare tactics.
Speaker 3: Like videos.
Speaker 2: We just saw someone's beautiful daughter disappear. But it's not
Speaker 2: that it's not don't worry about it.
Speaker 3: There's dude.
Speaker 1: There was another one where this woman sees like her
Speaker 1: like family, like a family car crashes because while it's driving,
Speaker 1: everyone got raptured.
Speaker 2: This is just the fucking leftovers, and the leftovers did
Speaker 2: it fucking way better. Because the leftovers was like, there's
Speaker 2: no way to make this look good. Like if someone
Speaker 2: just disappears in front of you, that's gonna you're gonna
Speaker 2: it's like seeing the Alien from Signs. You're like, ah,
Speaker 2: they should have never shown the alien.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah yeah, Like.
Speaker 2: So The Leftovers just has one minute you look over,
Speaker 2: the next minute they're gone, like and that worked fucking great.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Season two was fucking That was like one of those
Speaker 1: ones where you're like, damn that middle one.
Speaker 2: Fucking dude. Season two. Season three though, as well, like
Speaker 2: season one is probably the worst season, and they're all good,
Speaker 2: they're all good. Yeah, oh fuck dude.
Speaker 3: Anyways, dude, I want to get raptured.
Speaker 2: Bro, I want to get grabbed.
Speaker 1: But no way though, Remember they went to some fucked
Speaker 1: up dark world Yeah yeah, siler, But like in that case,
Speaker 1: I'm like, nah, I'm good here, I'm good here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be with them over there. I mean,
Speaker 1: I get it if you're separated from your family. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so it seems that like social media is just going
Speaker 1: to make uh it's it's this is apparently like an
Speaker 1: existing and newly observed phenomenon that they're just exacerbating, called
Speaker 1: rapture anxiety. Yeah, but let's let's go back a few
Speaker 1: ticks here. The rapture Is it in the Bible?
Speaker 2: Fuck? No?
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, I was invented by some dude in the
Speaker 1: eighteen thirties, Like this just came out with it like
Speaker 1: sort of taking little drips and drabs of the fucking
Speaker 1: you know, original ghost story book that they read from
Speaker 1: and trying to create a new off book ghost story
Speaker 1: to kind of get people to fall in line fan fans.
Speaker 1: Jesus never spoketh about said rapture, just for for all
Speaker 1: my Bible students out there, and I will see you
Speaker 1: this Sunday. And the idea was like basically cemented in
Speaker 1: like our public concent all in the twentieth century. Like again,
Speaker 1: shit like the Leftovers, like pop culture. There are books
Speaker 1: and there's like the left Behind series that was all
Speaker 1: kind of dealing with this.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that. I thought it was just one
Speaker 2: of those Like for me, every time there's like some
Speaker 2: crazy shit that people talk about from the Bible, I
Speaker 2: just assume it's in the Book of Revelations, right exactly.
Speaker 2: That's the one where everyone draws from. It's like, oh no,
Speaker 2: that's like the exciting conclusion for these things. Now for
Speaker 2: the exciting of Jesus.
Speaker 1: Yeah, part three of the finale the tell all was
Speaker 1: fantastic though, But like, this is the thing like for people,
Speaker 1: like I said, people who are in communities that are
Speaker 1: like actually like on this rapture shit. Apparently like it
Speaker 1: has left a lot of people traumatized. They're saying that
Speaker 1: it can be a chronic problem, like some experts said,
Speaker 1: rapture anxiety can be a chronic problem in these places
Speaker 1: with an increase of anxiety, depression, paranoia, sometimes OCD like behaviors.
Speaker 1: And the thing is, like, I don't know how this
Speaker 1: wouldn't fuck with like a little kid's head. You're saying like, hey,
Speaker 1: you need to get right with God or guess what, man,
Speaker 1: the fuck because the rapture is coming and they ain't
Speaker 1: telling you ship okay.
Speaker 2: Exactly any any day, any second, your whole family can
Speaker 2: be gone. And this is considered like a good thing
Speaker 2: to tell your kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why you gotta ey repent, repent, repent, or
Speaker 1: just think about give money. Yeah yeah, obviously you're.
Speaker 2: Gonna rapture a few dollars a few hundred.
Speaker 1: Oh so you really oh so you really want to
Speaker 1: get left behind, Matt, all of my money. Yeah exactly,
Speaker 1: I've met your family. They're beautiful. You don't want you
Speaker 1: don't want to get left behind.
Speaker 2: I hope when I'm rap sure I'm reunited with these
Speaker 2: thousands of dollars that I spent reading about the rapture.
Speaker 1: Hey, guess, stop talking about the money man, You're not
Speaker 1: getting the money.
Speaker 3: Okay, what's on my salvation? The rapture is just like
Speaker 3: a d NC email.
Speaker 1: It's Gabe, It's Hakeem Jefferies.
Speaker 3: I need your help. The Rapture's coming.
Speaker 1: But for twelve ninety nine, we can fight back. The
Speaker 1: radical right wing.
Speaker 3: Trump is just this is lib rapture. Yeah, right, coming again.
Speaker 3: You need to donate.
Speaker 1: But like here's the thing, Like I guess like for
Speaker 1: people who grew up in these like rapture friendly communities,
Speaker 1: this is like extra unsettling. Like people would talk about
Speaker 1: how they would like kids would prank each other using
Speaker 1: the rapture to really fuck with them, like hiding and
Speaker 1: shit and getting be like, oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody been rapped. I think everybody got.
Speaker 1: Raptured and shit. It's just so fucking wild. And then
Speaker 1: like some cases like the Left Behind movie series and
Speaker 1: books like we're being promoted in churches and being like, yoh,
Speaker 1: this is like actually a great series because this is
Speaker 1: like almost documentary style footage of what a post rapture
Speaker 1: world could look like. And yeah, it's it's it's it's wild.
Speaker 2: I would love to live in a fucking post Are
Speaker 2: you kidding me? Doug? If I got rap shirt or not?
Speaker 2: If I got if everyone else got raptured, first thing
Speaker 2: I would do. I guess this is more zombie apocalypse.
Speaker 2: If I was an I am Legend? Can we change
Speaker 2: the subject?
Speaker 1: Oh wait, are we mashing up the leftovers with I
Speaker 1: am Legend?
Speaker 2: No, I'm just doing I am Legend now, I'm I
Speaker 2: just really wanted to say I would be at a
Speaker 2: CBS doing all of the delauded, That's all I wanted
Speaker 2: to say. Oh yeah, every old Yeah, I'd be like
Speaker 2: everyone's dead. I'm not a count at all.
Speaker 3: And then you a German shepherd.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, dude, that was hit. That part of the
Speaker 1: movie is always so wild. That's pretty great. It's just
Speaker 1: funny too. I always talk about this whenever the movie
Speaker 1: comes up. But I had a friend we were watching
Speaker 1: it like like on video or whatever.
Speaker 3: And he left.
Speaker 2: He's like, I can't do this, bro, because of the dog.
Speaker 1: Really bro, Yeah, he's like one of those people who
Speaker 1: like you. There's some people who fucking animals more than people.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, sir, I really He's like that
Speaker 1: was too far. That was too far. I'm like humanity
Speaker 1: and yeah.
Speaker 2: I just like for me, I'm like, okay, but now
Speaker 2: I need to show you a movie where a kid dies.
Speaker 2: I want to see what you do if you sit
Speaker 2: there and just watch City of God was hilarious.
Speaker 1: They just can't figure it out. Those Favelashu.
Speaker 2: They just those flas man just come on, got it together.
Speaker 1: Those little kids were sobbing. They're soft down there, they're soft.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean again, this is like it's just wild.
Speaker 1: There are certain kids who are talking about how like
Speaker 1: expecting the rapture, like that it could happen at any moment.
Speaker 1: Like they just became despondent and felt like they had
Speaker 1: no future on earth.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, don't worry, kids, let me tell you
Speaker 1: about climate change. Yeah, pull up chair, pull up a chair,
Speaker 1: so my brother in Christ, so I can get you
Speaker 1: with some facts.
Speaker 2: My brother in Christ, you will not be raptured. There
Speaker 2: is no one day everyone disappears, but there will be
Speaker 2: a slow, painful descent into the heat of the world.
Speaker 3: Well, they already had the hell thing. They already had
Speaker 3: people freaking. Now they're just like it's now worse, Like
Speaker 3: there's just a new version, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this theologian who came up with in the nineteenth century,
Speaker 1: like he's he's a double dip it man. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: like you're putting with a hat already. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: most people like, yeah, the Catholics I grew up with,
Speaker 1: like who are like like we're up in it? Who
Speaker 1: are like, Bro, the fucking guilt man, I can't even believe.
Speaker 1: Like I didn't think it was fucking with me, but
Speaker 1: it is because I thought there was hell And I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: that is so. I just remember when I first heard
Speaker 1: about hell, I just didn't like the idea, so I
Speaker 1: wasn't believing in it. That same that's like that that's
Speaker 1: been my path with like organized religion or theoty. Like
Speaker 1: when it's like these things are put in front of me,
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, hold on, If I don't do this,
Speaker 1: I'm a burn in hell.
Speaker 3: I'm like, bro, no, I.
Speaker 2: Don't like, no, not if you start off with like,
Speaker 2: there is a God and he loves you, and you're like, okay,
Speaker 2: except that premise, and then you go into the health
Speaker 2: if you're like, damn, I don't think that sounds like
Speaker 2: what my God.
Speaker 1: Would do as he loves me, right, or the like
Speaker 1: the thing when the atheism starts creeping up in kids,
Speaker 1: like in middle school. I remember at my school, they'd
Speaker 1: be like, wait, so God is in control of everything?
Speaker 2: Yes, he is.
Speaker 1: He is omnipotent, He's omniscient. He knows and does everything.
Speaker 1: I'm like, then, why do like people die tragically?
Speaker 3: Oh? Well, uh, you see, they're bad?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: You know what, Go to the principal's office.
