Speaker 3 (03:09):
Thank you, thank you, thanks.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Thank you so much. I don't have a.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Day job, That's what I don't do, but do everything else.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Hey, you got those things on and you just had
your first art show too. I did.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
I had an art show in La Solo art show
at La Artcore was really excited about it was thrilling.
I don't know what life is anymore.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, where do I go from here? But yeah, check
out Aunties with Deadly Stare, you know what I mean? Yeah?
That was a serious Yeah. I love the laser eyes.
It's my favorite, like bringing that into it. And you
know what else is new? I mean, what else you
are going on? That was a lot.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
I like didn't do anything in my life except paint
for like three four weeks, no, three four months. The
show ended mid July, and then I went to Palm
Springs in like one hundred and fifteen degree. He just
hung out in the pool, you know. It was really
cheap though. And then I went to Arizona.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Wait, were you just chasing the hottest fucking places in
the country?

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Was the Arizonta was like a consulting job, but like
it was really hot.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Were you in Phoenix? You were in Phoenix?

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Were I was in? North of Phoenix? I was at
the Clearwater was care Free? That was the name of
the area, care Free?

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Were people? Also? Did you read about how like people
were getting like terrible burns from falling on the black
top during the heat wave in Arizona.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
The cactus are falling over in Arizona because they can't
deal with the heat, which is wild.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
That's insane, that's too hot too. I remember in Chicago
the first year I moved to la and I went back,
it was it was twenty twelve. It was the polar vortex.
Oh yeah, and you know Chicago has winter. For those
of you who don't know, Chicago has windshield. And if
you don't know what windshield is, that means, as God's

(04:56):
way of saying, the temperature is what it is, but
fuck you more. It gets colder and the wind shield
was like negative fifty degrees and it was so cold
in Chicago that the polar bears that lived at the
zoo in Chicago had to be taken inside because.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Too cold for them.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Outside in Chicago, polar bears, it was too cold for them.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
I'm just like in any normal Chicago winner, the polar
bears just kicket is that is that? Yeah, the polar
bears can be in or outside.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
But like it was time, it was so dangerously cold
that they had to take them inside to keep them alive.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
They didn't trust that they could stay overnight. And the
fucking cold. You can see see Republicans and climate deniers.
We got polar bears wearing jackets, people burning themselves on
the fucking I saw video some of baking cookies on
their dashboard. Yeah that's anyway. So we're all just trying.
We're all just trying to make sense of this climate crisis.
We're in an ecological disaster, but hey, we're making we're

(05:54):
spending a lot of money to try and get out
of it. So keep your eye on that part, Taz.
We're gonna get to know you even better. But first,
let's people quick preview what we're talking about. Uh Yo,
the Biden bulb fucking backlash is in full effect. I
don't know what the fuck that is. You probably don't either,
But we will talk about how people are somehow mad
about efficient light bulbs, because you know, we love a controversy.

(06:14):
Then just wanna just want to lay some flowers at
the gravesite of gen Z, you know, who has just
found out that mortality does come for all of us
and eventually we do become the washed ones as younger
people enter the world. So we will talk about this
is like, really there's a meme. I fucking don't know
what the fuck is going on. Gen Z, don't know
what the fuck is going on? And Generation Alpha, who's

(06:37):
the younger, the youngest right now, they can barely explain
to us old folks what the fuck it is. So
we'll talk about that and the gen Z response to
all that, and then we're gonna talk about Elon. He
found a fucking another person to blame really quick that
wasn't himself for the absolutely predictable downfall of Twitter, So
we'll talk about that. So before he gets any of that,

(06:57):
we gotta ask you, are it seemed cast tas a
met What is something from your search history that's revealing
about who you are? What you're into?

Speaker 3 (07:06):
You know what's funny? I was just looking at it.
I was looking at the moon. We're in a full
moon right now. August is going to be I think
there's two full moons in August that we're in a
blood moon. That is the hippie dippy world that I'm
in where I'm googling the moon.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
My partner, her majesty, she's going to some full moonshit tonight.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
I went to a full moonshit last night or Sunday night?

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Wait? Is there like an official day? Can you do it?
Is it like more lit today? Than Sunday or is
this like I think yesterday.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Was No, Actually tonight, Tonight's the biggest one. But Sunday
I went to. This is like the most ridiculous thing
I've ever done. I went on a hike and Panga
Canyon to Panga Canyon, which is like hippie dippy central,
thirty five minute hike to that like place. I forgot
what it was called Lookout Peak or whatever. And they
had a DJ setup and we did meditation. There's a meditatingation.

(07:59):
Person had disco headphones on. We like welcome the Moon
with the dance party.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Wait, so the DJ hike up like a thirty five
minute hike with all their gear. Yeah, that's fucking dedication.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
I felt like I was like at a rave for
like grown ups.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah yeah, and it was nice outside too, I bet
it was.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
It was hot.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
It was a hot hike, yeah, hike, yeah, but adults
that respect the lunar cycles. Yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Now, I am a college educated man, but I did
go to art school, so I don't know a lot.
I thought there was only one full moon a month.
I didn't know there was like more. I thought like,
is that not true?

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Is that legal, that's not true. Is legal to have
two full moons the moon.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
The moon cycle is different than the sun cycle. So
the moon is every twenty eight days. Oh and the
sun is like you.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Know, okay, so there is there is only one full
moon per cycle, yes, but there possibly could be over lateship.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
And the only reason why I know this is because
I'm Muslim and then we like fast, you know, during
Ramadan to go by the Yeah, okay, all right. College education,
it's because of eating.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, because Islam, Okay, you know what I mean, that's
how That's how I got educated in the lunar cycles. Yeah,
I don't. I even like I remember studying that kind
of ship in school, and that shit just went over
my head. I'm like, you know what, I.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Still don't understand. Like last or Sunday night, there was
the moon was up and the sun was up at
the same time. I still haven't figured that part out.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
I know.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
I see you see that pretty often here in California
at least. I remember like when I was younger, whenever
I would notice that, I would.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Be like, oh my gosh. And now I'm like, I
noticed that should like five days a month month?

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yeah, yeah, that was quite often.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
It happens quite often, like at least on this side
of the country.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
I'm sure like your listeners are going to respond explaining
like how the moon revolves around the Earth and the
sun is Yeah, it's just like I do the I
still don't understand.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Yeah, I was like, it's not night, this is the devil. Yeah,
I'm going to church.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
And all those people that are going to explain it.
Maybe you can explain other life mysteries to us, like
why do dogs and cats live together?

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Exactly? And why why do.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Dogs and cat live together? I wonder that all the time.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
And why are their receipts at cvs so long? Please
tell me God?

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Why why are there aliens coming to our planet?

Speaker 2 (10:28):
What?

Speaker 1 (10:28):
What's something you think is overrated?

Speaker 3 (10:31):
I was thinking a lot about like aunties. But I
don't know if aunties are overrated as much as the
way that we talk about aunties is overrated.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
I think we're in the generation definition of aunties.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yes, right, So like the auntie, So my archie revolves
around like this idea. It was actually inspired by a
hate crime incident that happened in twenty sixteen, where two
Muslim women were kicked off of the plane for staring
too hard, and the flight attendants were like, we didn't
like how they were looking at us, so we them
off of the plane. And that's what inspired my series

(11:04):
on aunties with ded Ley Stairs. And I don't know,
I think that part, like aunties are just out there
to get you is kind of like like like me
making the art was like re re taking the power
that Auntie has, Like, yeah, of course aunties are gonna
stare at you like that. That's what they do. This
is like an auntie's stare is a terrorist act, which

(11:26):
what you gonna do about it? You know what I mean?
Like that's how we aunties.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Are and now and you are.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
And just for those who are not familiar with the
auntie term, is not like your mom or dad.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
It's like sister, that's not the auntie you're talking about. Women, Yes, at.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Dating, I'm dating a I'm dating an Indian lady right now?
Is she and like I have been schooled on all
her aunties and all.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
It's a beautiful thing.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
This one white lady came up to me at the
art shown She's like, oh, so this happened to your
aunt I was like no. At the universal end.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
I'm on now, Yeah, I think that's a problem people have.
Like in black culture, auntie that's not doesn't have to
be a thing to be a literal aunt Sometimes it's
like your mom's best friend and that's just like auntie. Yeah,
even uncle or cousins exactly family. So many people are
my cousins that are not my cousin. Yeah, that's just
what it is. And I think in America sometimes it's

(12:29):
it's viewed a little bit more rigid, but that they're like,
well they hear, They're like, so this is a sibling
of one of your parents. Bro, I have.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Like I last year I went to my cousin's like
the whole family descend, okay at cousin, my actual cousin
and the whole family, but my actual cousin, my actual cousins,
the whole family descended on to Vegas for my cousins
graduating from med school. And we were like out and
like my younger cousin who's now in like her early
twenties or whatever.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
So I was there where she was born.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Literally I was she was born, and and we were
like out like having a drink, having a smoke, and
she like turned to me, and she was like jackiees,
are you our real cousin or like how are you related?
And I'm like, girl, our parents are first cousins. Yes
we are as real cousins. But like it's so like

(13:23):
ingrained that like you can but because we're family, But
it's so ingrained that like you can't be related by
blood or not, but you still has his uncle's on
Tea's like yeah, beautiful.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
The same level of closeness that you don't really examine
half the time, especially when you like lit like you
come up with these people all the time. It's just
it is what it is. Tz give us something that
you think is underrated?

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Are we not talking about aliens invading kindet Earth?

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Like I feel like that, I feel like it's not
as I feel like it's not in the main stream
as as I know, we've been talking about this on
the show, right, Because when I see somebody under old
talking about some yeah we're covered non biologics from a
fucking spacecraft and there's a program to retrieve or reverse engineer,

(14:08):
I'm like.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Hold the fuck up, because I begin to die. For
so long I've been waiting to hear this shit. Please
let me see this, and we talked a little bit
about like what a lot of skeptics have said. I
think one of the more compelling arguments I've heard from
skeptics is like, hold on, these motherfuckers got ships that
are like a sphere in a cube that can move
at light speed, but they them shits just crash everywhere.

(14:30):
They're like, what the fuck is going on? Maybe they're well,
that is.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Like holographic multi dimensional.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
That's a bridge too far for me. I mean, like
let them be here physically, But yeah, I don't know.
I mean I think I've always said, like I'm very
open to this idea. I would like to see something
a little more tangible in terms of like evidence, but
like I'm not immediately going to be like, man, fuck
out of here, that ain't happening, because again, I've just
spoken way too much weed to not be open to

(14:57):
some fucking aliens being here. That's just it is what
it is.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
I believe it, But I just don't understand why no
one's talking about it, Like, like no one's talking No
one in the mainstream is talking about it, And I'm
like going into every party going like, hey, did you
hear about the aliens? And how kindness is talking about it.
It was like whatever, whatever this is, like what it?

Speaker 1 (15:17):
I just like, man.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
It four years ago I felt like there would be
like a few things that would universally bring us together
as a human race. Sure, and after the pandemic, I
no longer think that. And now it is even more
evident that there are we are literally talking about aliens

(15:41):
and nobody gives a shit. That's how That's how much
news and bad shit is. Our world is so fucked
up that we are like aliens. Man, I wish we
could talk about that, but we got some other shit
to talk about.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
It is wild by police, but yeah, there are a
I think the other part too, is like it's I
get because if right, if true, then we have to
have a serious talk about how we view our life
on this planet, who we are in relation to each other,
what fucking God is or is not, you know what

(16:16):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Like, there's a lot because I remember the Catholic Church
a few years ago was like, yeah, you know, if
aliens out there, that's part of God's plan. Like I'm
pretty sure the Catholic Church was sort of like preparing
for this kind of shit to be like yeah, and
Christ was fucking with aliens. So I don't think that
that's like not part of God, Okay, like we're cool
with them. That I think it does. It does make
for a lot of introspection that is so abstract at
this point. Probably people probably aren't wanting to engage at

(16:40):
that level. That's why, Like for me, I'm just like,
what the fuck did they say? Go on, now, let
me see more, please, and then we'll see there. Because
to your point, Jack, he's like that hearing. I've never
seen something more bipartisan in like my life, like in DC,
like where Republicans and Democrats were like on task trying
to like get all of this out and hearing. But yeah,

(17:02):
I don't know. I mean I think there's it's it's
gonna take some time, I think for this to be
like at the point where people are like, Okay, maybe
this is we're seeing enough things or there's enough hearings,
enough evidence to really begin to reckon with this.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
But like the people who like actually believe in the aliens,
even they were like, are skeptical of this hearing, you
know what I mean? Like the people that were like
are the ones that send you the alien memes? Right,
those are the ones that were like, yeah, but they're
just trying to distract you from something, right, I believe that.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
But like, yeah, I was like, this is quite the syof.
I don't know if you had to swing this big,
if you're running a fucking op on everybody, but I
but like, this is the one no one's paying attention
to either, So is it like a totally total l
of a fucking op to be like damn, nobody's fucking
going for this shit, Like, yeah, I'm talking about it.
I guess they're gonna realize Bidenomics isn't a real thing.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
I think we, uh, we are in the culture now
where movies mean too much because you know, it's also
like all right, man, yeah, Young's am aliens. But if
Will Smith ain't punching that motherfucker talking about Welcome to Earth,
I ain't.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
Gonna be scared.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
Like you know, we like at this point, I'm like,
where's the alien invasion?

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yeah, Like that's I want to cigar in my mouth
saying now that's what I call a closer counter. Yeah,
you know what I mean. We were talking all the
other day about fantasizing, like I'll go downtown to the
former first Interstate Bank building, which was the one that
gets gotten downtown LA and Independence Day. I'll get on that.
I'll get on that roof. I'd be like, yes, come

(18:31):
bring them, bring them, but it's to be seen. But yeah,
I don't know, have you So I'm guessing you were
like me the first day. I was like telling people,
I'm like, this is a quote that a guy just said,
decades long spaceship like alien craft Retrieval and reverse engineering program. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
I was like, biologics. Did you guys hear biologic?

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah exactly. I'm like, man, I just I wrapped my
Dodger fitted in Tim Foyle. It was dope, you know
what I mean? Just letting people know.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
There are there people out there that like, I have
no interest whatsoever and becoming like president of the United
States or any But I would solely like drop everything
right now, scrub my search history, take every podcast I've
ever done off of the air so it can't be
used against me in the future, and start to run

(19:22):
for president just to learn secrets that we don't fucking know.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yeah, I do that.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
What I would do nothing in the White House but
just learn secrets.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Like the Kentagon's budget, Like, fuck a budget, man, let
me see these fucking aliens. Let me see Area fifty one. Baby,
there's a montage I saw where somebody cut together a
clip of when tell it? Like late night hosts have
asked former presidents about aliens. Yeah, and it's interesting how
like they're always coy about it. Like George Bush's like,

(19:57):
come on, man, I can't tell you exactly what do
you mean. He's like, so mean you can't tell me
because there are somethings like I couldn't tell you either way, can't.
I just can't talk about it. And he's like that
Obama was the same way, was the same way. It
makes you think. I'm like, come on.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Now, like just they know there's something.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
Let us have a little bit of Let us have
some extraterrestrials as a little treat man. The Earth is
fucked up enough, you know.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
I mean, there's something fun about knowing like I am
one of ten people in the entire history of this
planet that knows about Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Instead, like in Hollywood, we like we know kinds of
secrets are like well, when's this person going to get exposed?
It's like those are the closest we get to alien sightings.
I think in La do you think it's a world thing?
Do you think it's a world thing? Can ask both
of you? Do you think?

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Because like because if the world has to be in
on it, like this is the one thing that like
world leaders.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Are okay, the world just like a global a global coordinated.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
What they say in the congressional hearing, that guy the witness,
he said that there's some international treaty that everyone agree,
all the world leaders agree to like not to.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Keep it under rests. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
The only thing that we can agree on as a
as a as a planet is to not tell people, right.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Could you imagine? It's like the one crash, Like even
like between Israel and Palestine, they're like, yo, man, we're
on the same page with the aliens. I can't talk
about it. That's sacred. That's sacred to our tide state,
constant human rights violations. I mean, like you know if
you know what topic. But the aliens okay, Yeah, it's
like it's like they're holding that that that mean what

(21:32):
like the red bandana and the blue bandana but over
alien wo wow, the one true, the one true balancer
of everything. Who knows? But again, yeah, I think I
thought you were asking about culturally, you know, because I
do think that there is something to the fact that
Americans are seeing like like we we want to see aliens,

(21:56):
Like in England they see way more ghosts than we see.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Yeah, we see more a you know, they've killed more people.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Yeah. But I think also like I'm surprised they don't
have that fear because I feel like it's like the
fear of an alien is about imperialism, the boomerang of
imperialism coming back your way, and that we obsessed with
this invasion of four foreign forces onto our lands or
whatever because.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
It's the protect ourselves.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Yeah, yeah, same. You know, America has so many ways
to feel guilty, whether it's about chattle, slavery, these other
things are like and they manifest in our medium weird ways.
I see that as like made potential underpinnings of it.
But but then at the same time, you're like, but
the Brits a scene that ship the Brits. Yeah, come on, now,
I know y'all are feeling that anyway, So we will see,
we will see. There's more hearings on the way and

(22:45):
there is Yeah, because apparently like these they got to
talk to they got to talk to more people. Tom
DeLong Blinklin eighty two is like having a field day
right now. He's just to wait. He's like, this is
just a taste. I'm like, well, what do you know anyway.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
But we'll see what aoc he's gonna discover. Because she's
the only Saltish person I trust.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
She was also on some we gotta figure out what's
going on. I was like, oh, really, okay, well you
want to see him too. I think anybody that's how
you know somebody smoked weed in Congress if they're like, yo,
I gotta know about this a little bit more. Yeah, yeah,
I see you all, I see you all. All right,
let's take a quick break and we'll be right back
to talk about our dear leader Joe Byron right after
this and we're back. So people might not know, but yesterday, Tuesday,

(23:38):
August first, America's banned on most incandescent light bulbs went
into effect. Basically, the rule says that light bulbs must
emit a minimum of forty five lumens per watt. The
traditional incandescent do fifteen lumens per wa, so we're talking about,
you know, minimum three times more efficient but you know what,
of course we can't just say like, oh, that's good,

(24:00):
We're gonna help be our energy consumption and things like
that with our light bulbs. No Republicans have already gone
on x or Twitter fuck saying x Twitter and yeah,
that's saying Biden has quote weaponized federal agencies to push
liberal fantasies, and the States quote must fight back against
the light bulbs. Were you about to say? Sometimes I

(24:23):
don't get it.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
I mean, like, is it aren't the Republicans like the like,
you know, party about money, Like, are they the like
you know, like this is just gonna.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Have a bunch of modalism. Yeah, I it's It's hard
because again it has to it's anything that's now seen
as efficient or like talking about energy consumption. Is them
trying to say this is like some tree hugger climate
change fight stuff, which guess what, assholes, that's something we
need to be doing, although at a much larger level,
not at the consumer level with light bulbs. But anyway,

(24:53):
that's another point. But again, this shit is so stupid
because this band goes back to two thousand in Sevon
when I was just graduating fucking college and it was
passed with bipartisan support under the Bush administration. So the
thing is, there was this part of the law that
required most light bulbs be sixty to seventy percent more

(25:14):
efficient than the standard incandescent bulb. By twenty twenty, Donald
Trump rolled that back. So that was like it was
kind of like a minor story in that, like the
chaos of the Trump administration, he was like, Wow, he
just killed Wolke light bulbs. I guess, And that's fine,
We're just delayed the implementation of this. But the funny
part of the reason Trump even said he was down
to roll back these regulations was because he claimed to

(25:36):
quote look better under an incandescent light. He said, quote
I look, he said, I look better when there's less light.
Which go ahead, sir, at least you know your your angles,
which is light. I say this every time. I'm gonna
say it.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
I hate that he's such a terrible person, because if
he wasn't, he is the funniest president we've.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Ever had this world. If he was, like, if he
was just so just ignorant and not such a vile, hateful, racist, misogynists,
et cetera, they feel, But I don't know how you
can it's it's hard to be a I mean, I
guess George Bush is presidents, but I just do love it.
I look. But to even think that we'd be just like, no,
not those bulbs, because I look better when there's less light,

(26:22):
it's so funny. It's so funny. You know. It's probably
those people who like saw a monitor of him, like
on a like a shoot with like the the lighting
on him. He's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Just
turn it down. I don't want to be seen. But again,
this band is just on the manufacturer and sale of
these bulbs, because here's a this is a Fox headline,

(26:43):
this is Biden administration torched for banning incandescent light bulbs
so much for getting government out of our homes, which
would lead you to believe that there's gonna be like
the fucking bulb Bureau and shit kicking down your door
and unscrewing your ship, making this ship led. It's just
forty five lumits for but again that's part and parcel
of their you know, rhetoric on that thing. But again,

(27:04):
switching to LED light bulbs, it will cut planet warming
garbon missions by twenty two hundred and twenty two million
metric tons over the next thirty years, which is a
small drop in the bucket, but again something that should
just be done, you know what I mean. I mean,
look to it.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
I I I don't understand caring about light.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
I don't understand. I don't understand it. Yeah, and and
not from a and not from.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
A micro level, because like, yeah, man, there are some
light bulbs and I'm like, oh, man, give me that
daylight white.

Speaker 5 (27:35):
You know, yeah, I got my preferences, and shit, oh wait,
you don't. You don't like a very warm light like too?
I like, I like the daylight white. Although now a
lot of the lights in my house are like smart lights,
so I can like adjust the lights too.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Oh whatever.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
I wanted to color temperature right right right, yeah, you know,
the temperature to color at the brightness everything. And then
even like when led lights first started becoming thing, I
was like, ooh, these motherfuckers.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
But like outside of that, who gives a ship? And
now and now they look pretty much they're putting out
the same fucking light as the other ones. If if
you are like someone who's like I don't need the
hyper white light and drives me wild or whatever they
have they got. They got warmer colors, all kinds they
got warmer colors. Don't worry, you won't die under the LEDs.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
And life is expensive, like don't we want to like
make life cheaper for people? This is basically in the end,
it's gonna make energy use cheaper.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
For the action I mean over yeah, it'll it's gonna
save you know, overall, like billions in people's light bills
by just doing this or combined or whatever. But again,
they gotta find a way to be against efficiency of
any kind because it's it's just wild. It's progressed across
the board of any kind there truly. It's like, man,
I don't even want a fucking light bulb to be
better than it used to be when my grandfather was

(28:52):
in the Klan and also a senator, like that kind
of shit they're just clinging to because same thing with
fucking gas stoves. It's like anything that's like, oh right,
we're doing stuff that people things can be more efficient,
you know. But again it's it's all woke shit. Just
like when the Xbox put in like a power saving
thing into like the software, and people like Xbox has

(29:13):
gone fucking tree hugger on us. But hey, do what
you gotta do, man, Those are xbox Kate heat up
until it gets the three rings of death. Yeah exactly,
that's my right, that's my fucking right, fucking right, bro,
All right, let's actually move on to let me move
on to Elon real quick, because again for the well, hey,

(29:33):
for the people in the back who that may not
have heard, Elon Musk is continuing to set records for
killing a once powerful social media platform, doing everything he
can to make this. We talked about how when he
had it, the value had halfed like a couple months ago,
and then when he changed it to X, they say
the brand value had had again just from switching it
from X to Twitter or from Twitter to X. So

(29:56):
he thought it was gonna make shit happen, it did not.
He thought putting a huge lit up sign at the
top of his building would help with brand value, that
it did not. And this man is flaming before our
fucking eyes and just demonstrating with painful clarity that he
is far from being some kind of marketing or sales
tech genius of any kind. So the latest it sounds
like Elon is blaming pretty much everything that is wrong

(30:19):
with the business on a non profit organization. Yeah, he's
suing the Center for Countering Digital Hate based out of
the UK for like observing his actions and talking about it.
This is what he tweeted on the thirty first and
spliceet free expression is fundamental to a healthy function globalside

(30:39):
blah blah blah. That's taken away. It's impossible to get back,
he said. Free expression and platform safety are not at odds.
Despite our continued progress, the Center for Countering Digital Hate
and its backers have been actively working to assert false
and misleading claims about X and actively working to prevent
public dialogue. That's why X has filed a legal claim

(30:59):
against this and its backers. And I'm just gonna read
a little bit from the lawsuit, this legal motion or
legal claim that was filed. Quote. I was talking about
these countering digital hate and activist organizations masquerading as research agencies,
funded and supported by unknown organizations, individuals, and potentially even

(31:21):
foreign governments with ties to legacy media companies have embarked
on a scare campaign to drive away advertisers from the
X platform.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
So ridiculous, Tess, Let me ask you something. I'm convinced
that he's doing this on purpose. Oh because I just
I refuse to believe anybody. I don't refuse to believe it,
but I don't believe that you can be this inept
or this like of twos to not realize what.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
You are doing.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Is either he's doing all purpose because somebody made him
mad and then he was like this is my long
come to end this shit or something.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
But like, good lord, Also, so do you am? I?
Am I alone in this? Do you think that? Do
you think this too? Part of me is also I
have to I also have to acknowledge my own blind
spots as a not wealthy white guy who just had
who could just fail upward? Infinitely true because you see
this a lot. I mean, with anything, right if you

(32:30):
if you're surrounded by SICKA fans forever, you will never
hear an idea, a critical idea that might resonate with
you and people can be like, oh yeah, yeah, that's right. Elon,
it's these motherfuckers that are like fucking shit up because
it's not and not one single business move has been
good or positive?

Speaker 3 (32:47):
So did you were you following when he was over
at was it PayPal and he tried to rename PayPal
text x Yeah fired him. Yeah, and they fired him
for that. So like this is just like this is
just his ego, right, Like he's just trying to.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
Fetch He's trying to make you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
But I will say that, like, you know, I I've
worked with the in my activist life. I've worked at
a digital media activist organization and we used to do
work with the US version of all these organizations. And
it's just so ridiculous because I think there was a quote,
there was a quote between Elon and his wife where

(33:23):
he was so upset by whatever was happening at Twitter.
He's like, I'm going to buy it and I'm going
to run the ship to the ground basically, right, And
that's what he's doing here. He's I think everything he's
doing right now is very intentional. He's trying to destroy
this platform that activists have been using to organize protests
around the world. Now we don't have any space, Like no,
it's not like I don't know what's happening at Blue

(33:45):
Sky's threats, Like we don't have the community that we
once had at Twitter to organize the way we once
used to be able to, and I think that's what
he was trying to do. He was trying to get
rid of the digital space.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
I guess it's hard right to be like if you
wanted to just debt it, just buy it and debt
it and be a super villain, you know what I mean? Like, if.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
It's a public what's it called? Like he is like
it's on the you know, his stops.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
Yeah, public, public is trying to come.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
So he can't technically do that.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Well yeah, I think I mean he can also like also,
you know, to do that and then to just end
it would realistically, in my opinion, like that way. If
I was any other businessman, I would be like, I'm
never trusting you, Yeah, exactly. But you can't buy it
and fuck it up by making move after the move

(34:39):
after move that's move and still have the trust of
your fellow white man.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Well well that's what's wild to me, is like, because
if if you are just sabotaging her from the inside,
why also use like your pet project that you've been
trying to make happen for years be part of it,
Like why are you letting your ego get wrapped up
in it? If this is. This is a very clear
operation to do bad. It could just be you know,
six oh one half dozen of the other but it

(35:07):
is clear to your point, Taz like it is, it is,
it's it's it's shaken, it's the wheels are coming off.
It's hardly you can hardly use it. And Nazis can
just kick in a subscription fee to get like sort
of showcased on the website. And I totally get that,
Like maybe there's there might be a version where he
was hoping to invert like the sort of ideological balance

(35:28):
of power on Twitter and be like, fuck it, I'm
just scare these motherfuckers off, and then I can create
a business based off of all these fucking wanna be
Heinrich Himmler's I got out here. But yeah, yeah, at
the end of the day, that's not going to work
for business. And I think this was the other part
I will add is like if he is really going
through with this, it's gonna be a hard one for
him because like this lawsuit is being filed in California,

(35:50):
where we have like really powerful anti slap anti slap
law lawsuit like regulations on the books, meaning like you
can't just come after somebody and try and sue them
to silence their First Amendment rights and shit like that, which, yeah,
a lot of people are being like, they're merely looking
at your AD business what you're doing, and rightfully just
said it's like Twitter is becoming toxic and like, but

(36:13):
you actually, their whole thing is he's saying that they
access them data improperly or whatever. But that's hardly anything.
But it just does sound seem to see, it does
seem to be that the narrative he wants to get
out there is that the ad exodus is not because
of his doing, it's also because of these other people,
which I guess, yeah, whatever, do your best, do your best.

(36:34):
Is space X considered a success? Yeah it is, I
think so. Yeah. I mean they're doing real shit, and
I mean like that's they have, you know, people with
expertise doing things. Now, I don't know the ins and
outs of you know, the space industry, but you know
this is he gets a ton of money for these

(36:55):
for these like companies through it's all public money, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Because I'm just wondering, like, you know, obviously he's a
vindictive person and he's doing all of this because he
thinks people on the left have abandoned him and made
him look silly and stupid and like the moron that
we think.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
He is to be.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
But like also like, is he actually a good businessman?
Or has he no? As he well yes? Or and
but with Tesla or SpaceX, has he inserted himself into
business models that are hard to fail? And this is
the first time he's inserted himself into a business model

(37:37):
that his decision making is directly affected, I would say
of a company.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Same with Tesla though right like there we just talked
about a story about how there is a there is
a subdivision within Tesla that is meant to gaslight car
owners when they say the range isn't what it actually
is that shows up on their dashboard, and that is
by design Elon Musk, who wanted to fuck with the
software that was displaying mileage to give you a fake,

(38:05):
fucking actual range distance on your dashboard til you hit
fifty percent battery, and then it showed you what you're
really fucking with. And so a lot of people are like,
how the fuck did I lose three miles after like
going down the block. And then so this group within
Tesla was made to say, oh yeah, you just drive
them the car wrong whatever, man like, and if they
could get and basically get them to cancel a service

(38:27):
appointment at one of the Tesla service centers, because those
service visits cost the company one thousand dollars and their
whole point was to fucking gaslight the customer, so they
did not go into a service center. And they also
had ways of like blocking you from making an appointment
on the app if they're like, man, this motherfucker is
one of those range complainers, Like it's his hands are

(38:47):
all over it and you can see, like right now,
it's starting to get wobbly too. Like I think, like
in La, in La, you see so many and I'm
sure this is the other place too, so many people
with Tesla's who have like some kind of sticker or
some shit where they're like, look, I know I'm in
a fucking Elon car, but fuck that guy. Like I've
seen a few versions. I've seen an anti Elon Tesla

(39:09):
club bumper sticker. I heard it says love my car,
love my Tesla, hate Elon, Like it's I don't know,
it's it's getting it's getting a bit out of hand.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
But I think and I will say that like when
Tesla and Space Ex started, we didn't Elon was like
a not a figure that we heard from, like he
was there. Yeah, that Twitter gave him a voice, and
I don't like his voice, like people don't like his
Like now we get to see his ego in this
very real way, where as before he was just kind
of like.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
A mythical mythical We didn't know much about him, so
we just equated some of these really cool things that
these companies, because look, yeah, electric cars are great and
self driving car.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Look, I used to watch the Jetsons.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
I want that shit right all right, and go into
space is fantastic and Space Export so like, these are
very like cool things, and these are very forward things,
and we just automatically and this is a lesson in
society too, for all of us. We just automatically put
that progressiveness or that that coolness onto him when we

(40:12):
didn't know much about him. Yeah, and then you know,
and then we pulled the curtain back and saw.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
It was funny because I remember, over the course of
doing this podcast, we went from barely talking about Elon
Musk and then slave being like man, man, fuck you
I'm pretty sure fuck this guy, actually, you know, and
now we've reached you know, critical mass now where he's
gone from tony starks in people's eyes to stony farts
or whatever the he wants to go by. Hey man,
don't be talking about my brother stony farts, you know

(40:42):
what I mean, farts the fucking fire man. All right,
we will be right back to talk about gen Z
yengst right after this. And we're back, and buckle up, folks.

(41:04):
It's time for us to take a deep dive into
the world of the internets and be utterly confused. I
will admit before anybody, as a geriatric millennial, I'm not
sure what the fuck is going on, but I do
know this. For the last few years, I have thoroughly
enjoyed the absolute roasting of millennial culture from gen Z.

(41:26):
It's mostly on point and at times it's fucking transcendent.
It's eye opening to be seen through the younger generation's
eyes about like, what the fuck is wrong with these people?
Some millennials to get a little hard, you know, as
it was a reminder to us that it was no
longer two thousand and six and we when we were
the cool kids, out there with our weird ass outfits.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Like I say, yes, as right as you are. The
other half of me was also like, oh yeah, just
fucking way.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
They're like we didn't have the internet to cook gen X,
Like I'm sure we could have. Like yeah, I mean
now we do it retrospectively, but yeah, I was like,
time does come for you as well, t is coming
for you, Tom does. And guess what we have arrived
there Generation Alpha, which is the kids born between like
twenty eleven, and now they are sending gen Z some

(42:22):
of them into an existential panic. Uh and like say
that light heartily based on the commentary around this meme,
this meme race yourselves like gang you may know, you
may not, and I this is the first time I
heard it. It's called skibbitty toilet and you say, what
the fuck is skibbitty toilet? So basically I'm gonna play
a little bit and just so you know, it's a

(42:44):
there's a remix of this track dom Dom Yes Yes,
by Beiser King, who if you remember TikTok, there is
like this Turkish dude who would be like like kind
of gyrating his hips around like plates of food and
stuff it's like boom, skibbitty up, bump bump, yes, yes, bump. Anyway,
for people who are termally online like me, you know
that track, there's like it's like remixed and there's a
dude coming out of toilet. And I'm just gonna play

(43:05):
a little bit for for us just to feast our
eyes on it and try and give you some kind
of running commentary as we look at it. And it
is a visual thing for everybody.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
I mean, I think you guys should when you post
on line about this episode, have a second slide and
showing some of this toilet.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Yeah, check out what check this s gibty.

Speaker 3 (43:25):
Out what the heck is going on?

Speaker 1 (43:27):
So there's an elevator with urinals and heads come out
to toilet yep, and the big the nets the next
that was it? That was it? That was one full up.
That was one post about it, And I'm like, what
the fuck was that? We got heads coming out of toilets.

(43:49):
We have people with surveillance cameras on their heads. There
are people with TVs on their heads and they fight
in some of the videos. I cannot I don't know
what the meaning is. And it's funny.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
I know, I don't you think.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
We've I think we've reached a point where the generations
that are born like Jen A and or Alpha whatever
you want to call them, and generations that are going
to be born after that, we've reached a point where
their brains are born broken.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
Because they're on screens as soon as they are fucking born.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
Like it's like I like, I know there is a
four month old baby in my life, not mine, but
like that I know, And and you got a kid
miles like they know immediately, they know how to look
at you pull a phone out, they know how to
look at it. They can follow with there like they are.
And I'm saying this likeheartedly that their brains are broken,

(44:49):
but likes.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
Different the different reality for sure. I want to play this.
So somebody one of these people who have like a
younger gen Alpha sibling, they posted on TikTok of being
like just like hey can can like their little brother.
They're like, can you break down the skivity toilet? Mean?
For me? This kid is like nine years old, and
I'm telling you it's I can't even follow what this
kid is saying. That's what's so frustrating. About it, I

(45:12):
think for other people. Okay, wait, so like why are
skivity toilets and cameramen in the war.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
Because how did it?

Speaker 5 (45:21):
Because after.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
Before they saw each other, like what we got take
over the city? Oh okay, the skivities were all of them,
the skivvyes.

Speaker 4 (45:33):
Okay, So the skibbities are trying to take over the
city and the camera men don't like that.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
Yeah, so cameraman are trying to save this city. Uh
mmmm oh so we're talking about two different peoples, like the.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
Camera, the camera heads, the TV heads they got the
second wine. Then there's the Skibbity toilets, which is the
heads that.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
Come out the toilets urinals, and they and the camera
people represent like the like corporate America or like the
bad people in the world.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
You're going to de Skibbittyes, want to take over the
city as this young man, So skimvityes take over. But
the but the TV heads and the camera has fight
them to prevent the takeover of the skibbity toys.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
To fight them, right because yeah, yeah yeah, And like
the cameras are on their heads because they see all.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
Again that's too much. It feels like again I don't
know again, like these kids are going to be They're
the most online generation of all time. And I think
it's just it's probably gonna be one of these things
where like, even if it doesn't make sense to us,
it's the aesthetic is probably gonna be what like SpongeBob
Simpson's memes and shit are to us.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
Wait, I have a I have a question.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
Yes in the back.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
Yes, is this related to Minecraft at all? And how
these kids are all into Minecraft?

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Minecraft? Again? Minecraft? I don't know. I mean, yeah, my
my nephew plays the fuck out of my career.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
I talked to a ten year old last night and
she plays Minecraft on the internet with someone else.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
Look as we are washed and old and if we
said that to them, they would probably laugh at us
and then vab.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
She did laugh at me when I asked that.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
I guess, okay, oh well, well Victor, well, producer Victor
in the chat, Victor, what come on, hey, come in here,
come in here. If you if you're about, don't you
act like you know what's going on? Sorry for poor
audio quality. No, producer, Victor, come through the building. Yes, yes, please, yes,
with knowledge. So back in the day, people would use
Gary's mod to mod video games and make little machinemos,

(47:35):
which is just basically making a TV or a movie
around video games essentially. So I think that's what it
looks like here they're making the memes off of it.
I'm butchering it, but I think it might be Unreal
Engine three. Uh so there's a software you can where
you can screw around with video game characters, and that's

(47:58):
how they're making it. And then Animate didn't do all this. Okay,
but Victor, now thank you for the technical part. But
what the fuck is going on? Victor? I don't fucking know.
This one's new to me. So again, like we we're
trying to figure this out, and I get that this

(48:19):
is just sort of what this is. So for whatever reason,
the audio visual aesthetic that they love and it's just
again like going back to this, I just loved it.
The last year Zoomers have laughed at us for being
truegy cringe. You know, we fucking love skinny jeans, the
charcuterie bars and shit were washed. But they this is
like one tweet from someone this is hilarious. Sid quote

(48:39):
I just heard. I just overheard my sister talking about
how gen z is old and stupid, and how they
don't get their jokes. Hello, I am right here. I
am only fifteen. She was born in twenty thirteen. Then
she asked me if I knew what a skibbitty toilet was,
please help me. What the fuck is this skibbity toilet?
I feel old. Other commenters, like on these video have
said they already feel quote outdated. Some are horrified that

(49:02):
they don't understand what this meme is. And I'm like,
that's why. I'm like, don't worry, y'all. It's just being
washed is pretty comfortable at a certain point.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
You know, Hey, listen, man, you know I went to
bed last night excited for sleep. I was so sleepy
you couldn't fall asleep because insomnia eventually did. And woke
up and was like, my body hurts, So like, you
know that that's coming for all of y'all.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
You know what I'm saying, Well, you just sleep wrong.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
Oh you wake up and your whole damn body hurts,
and you gotta get up and walk through the day
to like relieve your pad.

Speaker 3 (49:33):
We didn't tell you have to do morning stretches, yeah,
because you can't walk with that.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
The morning stretch. Hey, don't don't sit on that office
seat with your ankle tucked under your butt like that
wire which you get that it band pain like I did.
But yeah again, I just love that. There's also like
just this whole I don't know, there's like lack of
acceptance around it, but I get it and I and
what I tell them is these kids, they're they're they're
the oldest ones are eleven. So Gen Z, you're still

(49:59):
you're still firm in the driver's seat. Don't worry. Yeah bad, Yeah,
But just some stats about Jen Alpha just quick hit
off the census. This is going to be the most
diverse generation ever, which makes sense I think just subsequently
that's just what it's gonna be, because hey, we're gonna
be living in a brown country soon. Baby. Generation Alpha
will will also be the largest generation over two million
by twenty twenty two billion by twenty twenty five. Seventy

(50:21):
three percent of you A children hunder twelve use the internet,
seventy three percent under twelve. I just start using the
Internet till I was twelve. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:31):
Now, how old is your baby?

Speaker 1 (50:33):
My baby is about to be six months old.

Speaker 3 (50:35):
How does it feel to have like a baby entering
this shit. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Also, your baby may not be generation in alpha. Yeah
you're I think it's baby's born from then until now.
Like okay, but you know they changed that shit like yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
In retrospect, they'll go back and be like, actually, this
generation was twenty twenty three.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Like I'm gonna tell them. I'm like, you're a millennial,
Like you're dead. That's what we do.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
When we were first born, we were generation Why, like why, Yeah,
we were Generation Why.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
And then and then it changed to we changed the millennials. Yeah,
because it was just more I think it was easier
to follow. But anyway, so shout out to y'all. I
get it. The slow creep of death comes for all
of us. But just accept it and you will be saved.
All right, Well, thank you so much Taz and Jack
Keith for joining me today. Appreciate us taking a journey

(51:27):
through our evolving culture.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
Aliens jin a.

Speaker 1 (51:35):
Yo and hey, and if anybody can like give me
some kind of like sociological anthropological analysis of skibvity toilet please,
Like I and I understand what Victor's saying. This is
like a natural progression of Gary's mind. And that's how
we got this like visual like what what are what
are we saying with this? Yeah? And you are and
if you are generation outfit and you're listening to this, yeah,

(51:56):
shout out to you. You want and you want to
like let us know, don't don't don't come into my
d MS. You know what I will say this. You
know we could team up and gang up on gen
Z together.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Oh yeah, yeah, the millennial Jen Alpha Yo. Listen, we
do have proper names for our generations. We're not just
no fucking letter you know what I'm saying. We got names.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
It's that euro where we tie our flags together and
fucking millennials and we go to bully gen Z so stupid. Uh, Taz,
Where can people find you? Follow you and all that
good good stuff.

Speaker 3 (52:36):
Yeah, I'm at Tazzi Star and all the socials podcasts,
not making new podcasts, but you can look at our
cives for good Muslim, bad Muslim. If you want to
see my art, I'm gonna have some new pieces posted
this a week I think from the art show. It's
up at Etsy Tazzi Stars Shop. I don't know, I
don't know what I'm doing with my life. You guys,

(52:57):
you can find me somewhere on the internet.

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Not in the boobox toilet. Yeah what if what would
you do if you showed that to an auntie?

Speaker 3 (53:07):
I think she would hit me with a shoe, right.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
Yeah, yeah, to be like, what the are you trying
to do? Trying to trying to corrupt my brain with
this ship? Hit you with that sand? Hit you with
that sandal, flip flop.

Speaker 3 (53:17):
Sand off the flop. We get up up the head.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
The real quick. But does it where they just flick
it up off their foot. That's how I knew too,
Like like if they were sitting cross legged when they
got access to the fucking the house slipper right there? Yeah,
get ready.

Speaker 3 (53:34):
They were ready. They were like in pose.

Speaker 1 (53:36):
Yeah yeah yeah. And is there like any work of media,
social media, anything that you want to shout out that
you're liking.

Speaker 3 (53:42):
There is an Instagram person that I've been following. Her
name's Auntie Matrix, and she just reads glitches from the
Matrix and people submit like letters to her which are
like glitches in the matrix right, And I don't know,
I'm like a little obsessed with these because she goes
either talks about like like people, what's it called NFT
not NFTs like NPCs. Uh huh aliens Uh just time glitches.

(54:08):
So I'm slowly turning into a conspiracy theorist, I.

Speaker 1 (54:11):
Guess is what's happening? Wait, you're way so on, so
you're on that glitch talk shit too. You think there's
MPCs walking around.

Speaker 3 (54:16):
I don't know about the NPC's part, but I like
how people like submit alien stories and ghost stories to her.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
Oh yeah, I'll fuck with that because I tell people,
the people who believe we're in the matrix, I just
keep saying, you're just suffering under capitalism. That's yeah.

Speaker 3 (54:28):
Those one I'm a little bit more sketched about.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
But like the woman who was on pause, Yeah yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (54:34):
Saw that one. But then I was like, that's just
like that was probably just like camera work.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
Yeah yeah, I don't. I also I threw a water
on that too, But anyway, whatever, I get it. I
get it. Kids.

Speaker 3 (54:44):
I like I like watching her account because it's just
kind of seeing this other world.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
Yeah. I think there's uh, you know, I feel like
when I was a kid, it was all about the
Illuminati and being like you'll Illuminati, Illuminati, Luminati, Luminati, LUMINAI.
And now it because like it's the matrix matrix, matrix
and metrics matrix. So we all have our and now
skimby toilet s. Gim me toilet, give it a toilet,
uh jaquies and you follow you and all that and
appreciate you. Co host. Yeah, then listen.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
You can find me in these streets, baby, But it's
a little too hot in these streets, so you can
find me in the air conditioned room, you know what
I'm saying. And when the temperature drops about an extra
five degrees, I'll be back out in these streets, baby,
and also at Jackie's Neil on any social media that

(55:32):
you can find me on.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
Any working media anything like that. Social media.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
You know, you know what I love about, Like, there's
one thing I do love about being online is that
the shit that you think only you do, somebody will
make a meme of and you realize, oh shit, everybody
do that. And there's a meme from Bone Boner Wizard
at Boner Wizard and is I don't know if you've

(55:58):
seen Oppenheimer yet, but there is.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
This isn't a spoiler, but there is like a part
of the movie where he Killian Murphy.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
Is just sitting on the couch like butt ass naked
with his legs crossed, sitting on the like love seat.

Speaker 1 (56:11):
And so that's the picture.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
And the thing says me at three am, trying to
decide if I want a spoon of peanut butter or
a handful of shredded cheese as a snack.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
And when I say that is so real?

Speaker 2 (56:25):
How often I will go to the fridge and just
get handsfuls of cheese and just.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
Eat it and like a little scoop of peanut butter.
Oh yeah, it's so funny. I love it. That's why, like,
as an adult, I like switch to block cheese, because
what do I look like getting all these shredded cheddar
flakes everywhere? Like you can just offend? I said, yeah,
do you eat? Do you eat it straight from the

(56:50):
block or do you cut off a little? My mother's
voice echoes in my head where I can feel me
getting smacked upside my head if she caught me doing
some ship like that. And like, so now I keep
it consistent. I'm like, consider that other people might want
to bite of this block. It's not just your block, okay, myles?
Can I can I say something for Tomorrow's episode. Yes,

(57:12):
this is gonna be the fans are gonna love this.
I want us both to do this. I want us
today to just eat a block, just like a bite
from a block of cheese, and report how it feels tomorrow.
All Right, I actually gotta go to the store. I'm
gonna buy it. I'll buy like non slice, non shredded,
and just take a fucking and just take a just

(57:32):
take a bite of a block. Part of me just
feels like fuck man, it's a lot of cheese, anything
like soft cheese, hard cheese, like a not a Pecorino,
maybe like a Cheddar, like.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
Yo, it gotta be like a check I mean energies,
but like a Cheddar or something something that's.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
Ridiculous eating like a Pecorino romano that would be off
the fucking wheel.

Speaker 3 (57:57):
Yeah, Tom and Jerry how the mouse used to just like.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
Yeah, and then this whole body shape with just yeah, yeah,
I'm of a rectangle in my windpipe based Yeah, you
don't have to eat the whole block.

Speaker 2 (58:11):
I'm just saying, like instead of slicing up like pieces, Yeah,
we gotta have a bite of a block of cheese
and we'll report back how it feels.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
Tomorrow. All right, I'm putting sweat. I've got the cheese sweats,
but I'm gonna do it nervous. I didn't try shower orange,
but I will do cheese block. Maybe I'll do that
in the shower too. Let's see a tweet that I like,
you know, just more just tweets from the picket lines.

(58:40):
Helen Shang at Helen Shang tweeted, whenever I pick it
at a gate with just a few people, that's when
I get the fuck you and get a job yells.
But never at the highly populated gates. Why not yell
at to several hundred people in one go instead of
just trying to like find the lonely outposts to unleash
your ire. Oh just like yeah or maybe you know,
it just shows you to strengthen number too. Oh you
