Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season nine, Episode two
of Da Guys production of by Her Radio. This is
a podcast where we take a deep dive into america
shared consciousness and say officially off the top, fun coke
Industries and fuck Fox News. It's Tuesday, July two thousand nineteen.
Happy birthday, mom. My name is Jack O'Brien, a K

(00:23):
baby got Jack, and I'm thrilled to be joined as
always by my co host, Mr Miles. Yes it's Miles Gray,
also known as Lord of mum bum as at pork
Hope Express or pork Hop Express. Pointed out in our
photo where everyone graciously uh enhanced our buttocks is yes,

(00:47):
but high the one where it was just somebody else's
but pasted onto our butt was I think my favorite.
A lot of people saw you, you looking back at it.
I don't know if you've seen this, mry guest of
Jack looking back at his own as they were like
he was really gonna act back at it. But the
picture that had the new butts attached, it looked like,

(01:07):
as her Majesty said, Jack looks like a centaur. And
the other thing was, I thought it looked like you
were concerned that your body was transforming, where whereas like
I'm owning my juicy ass and yeah, no, you're owning
all of the asses and that picture, I mean you
look at um. We're thrilled to be joined to in
our third seat by the hilarious and talented improviser, comedian, writer,

(01:33):
one of the very pass on mountains light more Mr
Edgar and mom Plazo boo. Motherfucker's y'all thought they could
keep me down. They can't keep me down. They try
to keep me off mountains right more, but they couldn't.
They couldn't stop it. Now when you're camped out there,
sprite Lord in the building. Yes, did you see that?

(01:54):
I was thinking when all those Area fifty one memes
are going around, did you see that one video that
was like mega, my first time and it's just like guying.
I was surprised you had to retweeted that, you know.
I was like, the people DM them to me. Oh
and I just I want to respect the privacy because
if they wanted it public, they would have attacked me.

(02:15):
DM them to me, Like you got the Clipper shirt on,
I got the Clipper shirt on, got the season, I
got the half, I got the half season tickets. Yeah,
I just want you know, they ain't got money like
that actually spent the money that I spent, because I
mean that dude that There was a dude who was
texting I went to a playoff game to see the
Warriors play them, and then this dude was just like,

(02:37):
you know, like they like take your information afterwards and
just keep harassing your reach. But what's his name? Tyler? Okay,
this dude's name was Logan. He kept up Tyler is
probably his boss. Oh yeah, you should, and then Logan
kept harassing me, and it's like I'm not harassing but
texting me all the time. I want exactly. And then
when they didn't get kat. Yeah, when they didn't get KAT,
I was just like, you know, you know, I'm sorry, dude,

(02:59):
you even't get kad you probably not getting Kauai. I'm
not interested. And he said if we get Kauai, can
I call you? And I said, yeah, dude, if you
guys get Kauai, I'll get these tickets. And then you're
like damn late at night, like one in the morning.
This dude texas me and says, so we got Kauai, Like, yeah,

(03:19):
I went out in Texas and the others were interested
in Landing first, then PG and then Edgar. Yeah program, yeah, yeah,
that writer's your money streeting you well, man, man, it's
it's definitely way up there. It's one ticket way up
there half season. So please, if you're looking to sit

(03:39):
very high up when you're back against the stable center wall,
that's right, that's right with with old people dying next
to you. Hit me up. I got some tickets, you
know what. The people who sit up there, they're the
nicest people, like the realest fans, because those are like
people like we'll go to every game because of the
way these tickets are priced. I'll sit up here and
I've never I've I've been never been offered something by

(04:01):
another person in the stands. And then when I've sat
up there because they've been going to Yeah, they've been
going to games since the Clippers were playing at the
y m c A right. Oh, they like a beer
that someone offered me a tall boy of a steel mill.
And the real fans, the real fans up their fake
fans on the court. So you're ultimately a Warriors fan though, right, No, man, no,

(04:25):
I'm a Kevin Durant fan. I think it's irresponsible to
be a fan of a team in this game. Man,
what are you rooting for laundry? No, you're rooting for
the people exactly. These owners don't give a ship. They
don't care about the players for teams. You're a Brooklyn fan,
and uh, that's right, that's right. I mean Kevin Durant,
I'm a fan of wherever he's at. And then the

(04:45):
players that I'm interested that I'm kind of following right now,
it's gonna happen to them. I think the Pelicans are
gonna be a dope team because they're basically a duke squad.
That you did with Josiah, I think that was a
good conversation because I've I've I'm like old school, like
where I grew up very loyal to one team, and
I do see, how like, even in the teams that

(05:06):
I do like, like the Lakers or Arsenal or the
and the Dodgers, not to a lesser extent, how much
this is such a new era now where it's man,
it's tough to be loyal to a team because sometimes
the fucking power moves so rapidly, Like you could be like, yeah,
well I'm loyal and unhappy, and then we also watched
that team treat your favorite players like absolutely ship and
stuff like that, Like you know what I mean. I

(05:27):
find it hard for Lebron James fan to be like
funk with Cleveland, like seeing how Dan Gilbert you know,
all but called him a nigger in like a letter
on ESPN, Like, yeah, I think it's tough to be
like I like a team. Yeah, I've been rooting for
and then turning against teams my whole life because of
my dad. So yeah, I'm Ronan and I've been Ronan,

(05:52):
and I've ultimately usually despised the team that he leaves,
like after loving like all the Celtics gear, and I've
route for the Celtics to lose every single You still
have the Celtics here, Yeah, yeah, and like nice stuff too,
like they had like some real classic like sweatshirts and ship,
so like I really like I like that, even those
the Clippers. You're like, but this is a nice garment everywhere,

(06:17):
but it's fresh. Yeah. Yeah? Is he still over in Philly?
Still in Philly? Alright? Dope? I keep thinking that your
dad is Brett Brown. I know it's not. I know
who your dad is. Every time I see Brett Brown,
like man, Jack's dad and be back into the game.
Jack's dad, What the hell are you doing? You're texting Jack?
You'll tell your dad crazy. I wish I had Brett

(06:39):
Brown's accent. That accent. Alright, Igar, We're gonna get to
know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're gonna tell our listeners a few of the things
we're talking about. We're gonna talk about what people were watching,
uh last weekend. We're going to talk about Russian Mitch,
Moscow Mitch. Uh. Yeah, the left can make up nick

(07:00):
names to Moscow Mitch baby Mitch as senator. Uh. The
GOP is reminding us that they're purely for racists. We're
gonna talk about the go fund me border while now
being partially in Mexico. Uh, there's another mass shooting over
the weekend from a white terrorist, white supremacy terrorists, right

(07:24):
wing terrorists. We're gonna talk about friends. We're gonna talk
about sixteen year old winning three million dollars at the
Fortnite World Cut. But first, Edgar, what is something from
your search history that's revealing about who you are? Man?
I always get the order wrong. So I'm prepared with
the wrong one. But here we go. Y'all know I
always do it real. I don't doctor these pulling it

(07:45):
straight up. Let's pull it straight up. Here we go.
I put uh day after Day seems like I pushed
against the Clouds, which is a song from the movie
Set it Off. But I did not know it because
I saw it in I've looking at like a lot
of memes, I mean lately and being like, I like
the song, So I tried to write down the lyrics

(08:05):
so I could find a song. And it was a
It was a meme of this little girl brushing a
woman's hair and then she brushes too hard and pulls
off the woman's wig, and then it put post on
a little girl's face. And then that song starts pointing
it's a very sad it's a very sad song. It's
sad in the movie. Yeah, it's like day at the Day.

(08:28):
There you go, set it off soundtrack. I mean, for
me that what does that movie about those one who
robbed the bank? Right? They're robbing the bank, that's what.
Or they're knocking off like an armored car or something.
I thought it was a girl's night type movie. Look
at the cover because I've never seen it. Now that
they send it off, I was just like, Oh, they're
going that party, and I was like, what part of
the movie does this song comeing? Right? It's weird because
I think the main single off that soundtrack was the

(08:50):
end Vogue song what's that good? That sounds good? No,
don't where Okay, but at what point in a Brank
Robbery are you playing this song? That's a good question.
I don't understand. I do think they had like some

(09:11):
bangers on that soundtrack, didn't they Like it wasn't all
that emotional hip hop RB Yeah, because that's weird that like,
are they like shooting people and it's all this emotion
when they're playing that song, Oh my god, the like yeah,
Everyone's like it's just like, isn't Jade Pinkett Smith in

(09:31):
that movie? Yes, she's just looking at everybody dying and
that song is just playing right. Well. It's weird because
like back then, when they would do the music videos
for those kinds of those things, it would always just
be like really out of context clips and then and
it's the person standing on a set in the movie exactly,
so they'd be like standing in the bank, and it
would cut the clips from the movie with no explanation,
no dialogue. You always need one clip of someone crying. Yeah,

(09:55):
what is this movie about? Kiss from a Rose like
the most emotional song of all the time. And it's
like got shots of like Batman like turning his head
and Freeze about a Batman relationship. That is the main thing.
The video is so funny. This had a lot of
I mean, you got tracks from m C Light Ray
Jo Seal doing Hey Joe. Huh is that like legitimately him?

(10:18):
Didn't expect that from him? Yeah? I do love Hey Joe.
There you go. What is uh? What is it something
you think is overrated? I think HBO's most recent Sunday
Night lineup was overrated. Wow, Big Little Lies and Euphoria
more like Big Little Bad Boo Fia Damn that's right.

(10:46):
They were both trash. So it was Big Little Lies
probably one of the worst season two I've ever seen.
That was I was not impressed. Yes, I was able
to tolerate it. I just saw the last episode last night.
I was that was fine. I guess like nowhere near.
That's the problem when you have like something based on
a book like that, book ends in a way where
I'm like, okay, cool, but then being like, well, what

(11:08):
if like they had to be accountable for the stuff
from the first book and that's what that would cause.
I'm like, I'm not I'm not interested in that. But
I mean, h Friel has pulled it off before, like
you know, the Leftovers, they went beyond the books, and
I thought that the show actually got better once they
went beyond the books. What about another show that went
beyond the books? Well, you know, Game of Thrones was trash,
it got it lost its way a little bit. And

(11:29):
I heard a rumor recently that it's not on those
two dudes that HBO actually came in and told them
what to do. If it was that rumor started by
Benny Off and it was I heard you coming on tomorrow,
and we would have been at that comic companel, like
we just you know, it would have been too lit
for them. But but like I mean, this person's theory
of like what was supposed to happen, what they heard

(11:51):
was supposed to happen, was like everyone was supposed to
die in the Battle of Winterfell except for them two
Winterfell girls and the girl dragon Queen Okay, you know
what I'm talking about, A Sansa and Aria. There you go.
I almost called them Sophie and Ariana g and then

(12:11):
they were supposed to figure out what to do with
themselves after all that night. Look that sounds you know,
but another dimension though two that could have happened. People like, man,
it's trash. But now I've heard good things about euphoria.
You're saying, no to heighten for me, Man to heighten
for me. I I don't think teenagers. Look, I do
think that they are teenagers right now who are doing

(12:33):
rampant drugs and having wild sex parties and stuff like that.
But I don't think that they're buying drugs from an
eight year old covered in tats that talks like a
black man from the nineties and yonkers. Yeah it is.
He's their drug dealer. That's who they buy drugs from.
He gives them a tattoo on the lips. At one point,
I'm like, ain't shut the funk up, man, this is

(12:54):
not happening. And it's also in the pilot. This girl
like a guy's like trying to like hit on her
and she doesn't want it to happen. And then she
cuts her wrists, like stay away from me. I'm fucking crazy,
and I'm like, shut up, man, Ain't nobody a threat
to somebody? This is look, it's shot beautifully. I think
Zandia is doing the best acting in her life. I
hope only good things for her. I'm very glad that

(13:16):
Judd Apatow's daughter doesn't have to be in his shitty
wrong coms anymore. Very happy for her as well. But
it's just so heightened in a way that I just
don't believe. Right, we're talking about the fact that this
generation that is being depicted is actually they used the
least drugs and have the least sex of like any
of the recent generations. Because it's nerdy yea and he added,

(13:44):
he added, and like you know, it's about his addiction
and stuff like that, so maybe it's more closer to
what he experienced and he's just mapping that onto now.
Of course, of course that's exactly what it is that
he's mapping, like you know, like young and they add
and again I think that there are some emotions in
there that are very real, like what that the the
plus size girl is going through of like, you know,

(14:05):
not feeling comfortable on herself, but then finding this like
life online where people think she's sexy. I'm like, I
believe all that, but come on, you ain't buying no
drugs from eight year old I like how You're like,
there's a line for me. There is, there's some Sometimes
this team, this team show could get a little too ridiculous.
And it's not even like I find it offensive. Man,
throw all the dicks in there. I don't know, you're

(14:25):
just sort of like this is a little bit over there. Yeah,
I don't want no fucking little kids selling me drugs.
Buy them from an adult exactly. You want to buy
it from an older guy absolutely who says meet me
in the walmart, but turn off your head likes, turn
off your headlights. You'll know it's me because I'll flick
the lighter. What is something you think is underrated? Man,
it's only been one episode, but the show south Side

(14:47):
is underrated already already is underrated. This show is so good,
it is so funny, and I am on this show
begging you now please watch it. Every show I told
you all to go watch and pay tended to, y'all
have failed me. The mayor canceled, that's true. That was
like one of your first detroitters canceled man on this

(15:12):
show and I would fucking beg y'all niggas please watch
this show and did not listen. So I'm here Southside
of I came out just as a premier. I came
on to say, please watch it, please begging you guys.
It's so fucking funny and good. The mayor, I totally
forgot that you came on. Yeah, I watched because you're like,

(15:33):
you gotta watch them, and look, I'm not gonna lie.
I got bad. What was that other show that was
kind of happened concurrently with it that I think you
were comparing it with another show that was like a
black comedy on Network TV or something, um whatever. I
might be Network TV M which one of the five. Yeah,
well that it's not coming to my head. It's not fresh,
Prince Family matters, black Uh Skies is also there's a

(15:57):
lot of good comedies. But I'm not campaigning for it
because I already got redued for second season. I'll be back.
I'll be back to campaign for the second season. What's
the other show Central that uh, you guys are loving?
Oh yeah, Alternato. Yeah, that's dope. That's dope. They't hire me,
but they're cool. Come on, you know alterno. But that

(16:23):
quote quote came from Jack O'Brien. Yeah, that's right, that's right.
Even though I hear it's pretty good, it's pretty good, man.
I mean that paper towel sketch destroyed me. What's a myth?
What's something people think it's true? You know, to be false.
So this is something that I learned myself. And sometimes,
and you know, this might sound hypocritical because of how
hard I just went on euphoria, But sometimes sometimes you

(16:45):
watch something and you go, man, that's bad. That's because
of the actor, that's because of the script, that's because
of you know, whatever common folks people think. And I've
come to learn that there are so many other factors
that could go into something being bad that you don't
even realize that. Like I'm trying to work on not

(17:06):
saying things are bad because I don't know what went
on behind the scenes, were ascribing a cause to why
something exactly, because like you know, sometimes you write a
thousand jokes for a monkey and then you find out
that the monkey is not available, and then on the
day of you gotta do a bunch of ship and
the episode don't come out the way that you want to,
and so like there's so many other factors. Sometimes you

(17:26):
write a joke and then the network goes, actually we
own that property. You can't say that. Damn, that was
the foundation of our script, you know what I mean?
But you know, like like there's just all this stuff
that goes into it or I just like, damn, you
really just can't be out here saying it is bad.
Like all the script sucks are this because there's so
many like you know, sometimes that actor has something happened

(17:47):
to them that day and then they come to sad
and they're people and ship. So I'm trying to I'm
trying to work, okay, So how would you extend that
understanding to you? For you go, uh, you know, maybe
you know, they justlike that kid had a really good
audition and they were just like, you know what, fuck it,
it's funny. This kid is a good actor and they
put him in there, and I can appreciate that that
that's what he saw it, like the head of HBO

(18:09):
Casting's niece, Yeah, yeah, they find a role for him.
I guess he could be this drug dealer. You say,
that as a joke, perfect the one with the face statues.
I mean the amount of times I've seen someone pitch
something as a bit and then the network go yeah,
do that, and he go wait no. I was joking like, no,
we're not We're not want that. We want that kid
to be that drug. So that's what I'm saying, But

(18:30):
I will not extend that to Jake Cole. Ja Cole
still trash. Oh here we go. If y'all having trouble sleeping,
I recommend listening to the Revenge Sessions or whatever he
calls that ship you. It has not extended to music yet.
With film and television, I understand. Maybe if I go
watch a recording session, I'll see how Jake Cole want

(18:52):
music a little bit harder because you typically there there
aren't that many decision makers. Just if you're like rapping
exactly exact a pop star or whatever, I can see
how you have producers and labels and things. But like
when you're a rapper who's like, but I don't share
the same view of John J. Colis man, they think
at least it stopped making Lulla Buzz. You know what
I'm saying is the New Chance album good. I haven't heard.

(19:15):
It hasn't grown on me yet. I need I'm not
in the mood. I'm in a sad mood and it's
you know, it's too happy, like no, no, and that's
not where I'm at, right, you're darker. Yeah, so I'm
waiting for I'm in a sad mood man, sad boy
many yeah, hell yeah, I need that new Bony the

(19:36):
Elliot Smith. All right, let's do a quick check in
with what happened over the weekend in terms of box office.
The Lion King is about to cross a billion. It's
already wait, that's already cross a billion. Fuck me globally.
Once upon a time ellipses in Hollywood, or once upon
a Time in and then ellipsies Hollywood. The Tarantino movie

(20:00):
made forty million dollars, which is the most one of
his movies has ever made on an opening weekend. Uh
so that's pretty cool. It's weird because we were around
like where they did a lot of the shooting of
the film, and like I remember seeing all the storefronts
get changed to like sixties or seventies ship and yeah,
funk is this? And I think someone would be like,

(20:21):
it's a new Tarantino movie Man and then now it's
out already. It seemed very quick actually, from the time
they actually shot that to it coming out. Have you
seen the movie. If you see the movie, you'll see why.
It's very quick. Wow, it's not like it's not like
his other movies where it's like action packed and ship
like that. It's got it. It's a hangout movie. So

(20:43):
that's why it's like, it wasn't like big It's very
like yeah, but there wasn't. It wasn't like there was
like big action sequences the ship for him to do.
It's just a lot of a lot of dialogue and
then like you know, my man Brad Pitt driving around
Los Angeles. Carl seemed very enamored with that character. Yeah,
but I mean Brad kills it. Brad, Brad kills what kid?

(21:04):
And Leo kills it. There's this little girl who kills it,
and Margot Robbie says three things right, yeah truly, and
then her feet kill it though, damn you know her
feet began in that screen time in a Tarantino exactly,
it wouldn't be Tarantine. I was about to say, like,
and who got the feet closer? Her feet got more
lines than her. That kill Bill sequence where like she's

(21:24):
just trying to wake up by shaker shaking her toe
is one of the most indulgent things. Like his whole
career was just a build up, a big excuse for
him to shoot that easy access defeat. Right, But the
thing that most of us were really watching was Jake
Paul's wedding was streaming for the low low price of
fifty dollars. You could watch Jake Paul's wedding too. Tanna

(21:50):
Mango white Yeah, and she and she's racist, she said
some racist bs on her, you know what I mean. Well,
I wouldn't expect anything less from to like young white
kids who came up on YouTube like there there their
whole wedd I think you should be happy, because imagine

(22:11):
how unhappy you would be if he like, you know, married,
like somebody woke or like like what who you had
a crush on? Yeah? Like yeah, so he you know,
he found somebody that matched his ideals and stuff like that.
You gotta gradually people on show like right, I mean,

(22:33):
like they found each other and it was no I
mean and true to form. It was just a trash
fire like yeah, they kissed. After they kissed, like the
you know, you may now kiss the bride, somebody threw
champagne on them and then they started fighting that person,
and I had an epiphany. So for people who don't know,
Jake Paul's like a YouTube influencer, He's marrying a YouTube influencer.

(22:56):
And I realized, this is just w w E for
like a new generation. Like their fight was like just
bad acting, just like them being like oh man, uh
and then like yeah, just really bad acting, bad dialogue,
like some kind of forced violence thrown in there. Uh yeah,

(23:16):
So that's what it is for bucks. I mean, damn,
if enough people watch, like you could almost that's how
you pay for your wedding, you know what I mean?
Here with a plan, I know, right, a live streamer
wedding forty bucks. I'll throw the champagne on them that

(23:37):
I got you his white tuxedo, Yeah, of course, you
know he's gonna wear a white tuxedo. Don't you think
it were a white tuxedo? Keys indulge himself. All right,
we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back,

(24:02):
and we're back. Let's talk about Moscow. Mitch Miles. Yeah,
he's uh, you know, he's in charge of the Senate
and basically means he can decide. You know, everyone says
Mitch McConnell's graveyard of bills, because there have been a
lot of bills that have come out of the House.
Uh and even ones that senators are you know, there's
bipartisan support for that he just will not bring to
the floor for a vote. There's a Supreme Court justice

(24:24):
buried in that graveyard. Boy ye yep, shout out to
uh boy Amreric Garland. But you know, I just recently
there's just been a huge uh, you know, renewed interest
in our election security after Robert Muller testified, well, you know,
he testified and he was like, yeah, you know, the
Russians were sucking around and they're meddling in the election,

(24:45):
and they wanted to help the president. It was the
one thing that he was willing to say that was
not yes or no or it's happening, as you know
Deante Walder would say to this day. So there are
a few things that are refutable, right, the Russians were
interfering with our electoral process. Russian hackers got into the
voting systems of thirty nine states and they attempted to

(25:07):
alter voter data in one of them. Um, but a
lot of the intelligence reports were sort of like, yeah,
they definitely were able to hack them because they're using
spear fishing tactics and other things like that. But this
is an excerpt from the Senate from the fucking Senate
Intelligence Committee about election interference, says Russian intentions regarding US
election infrastructure remain unclear. Russia might have intended to exploit

(25:28):
vulnerabilities in election infrastructure during the elections, and for unknown reasons,
decided not to execute those options. Alternatively, Russia might have
sought to gather information in the conduct of traditional espionage activities. Um. Lastly,
Russia might have used the activity in sixteen two catalog
options or clandestine actions, holding them for use at a

(25:49):
later date. So it's like being like a really good robber.
You got in. You broke in the house without setting
off the security system. You looked around, You're like, okay,
they got censors here, so we shouldn't just pass to
that window. Could do this, Okay, I figured it out. Now.
I know how this place is set up, so if
I need to funk around, I know what to do.
You know where the lasers are pointed. Yes, and you
do your Katherine Zeta Jones laser choreography from what was

(26:13):
that movie Entrapment? Entrapment, And then there's also Oceans twelve
where they choreograph a dance to get that one. That
one was unforgivable? Why not just have everything be lasers guys? Right,
but the dance sequences like lanes, like at least Catherine
Zita Jones was like doing like a whole fucking contortionist
your team anyway, So, yes, this is where a situation

(26:36):
we're in, you think the solution would begin to you know,
like change the infrastructure. So when they pull back up
to funk around, they're like, oh the whole other huh okay,
they change the systems up here? Um, I mean you
would think you would do that just because of the
march of technology and like technology getting better. You would
think that our technology, like our election infrastructure, would be

(26:57):
improving exactly. But how much did they spend on it?
The structure? Not as much as Aaron Paul's wedding or
what his name is wedding. Well this is the thing, right,
Like we have all this evidence that says, yeah, you
should probably just do the bare minimum to secure the elections.
I think just for any side, you'd say, yeah, right,
we don't want If you're on the right, if you're
all concerned about any kind of voter fraud or any

(27:19):
other untoward activity, this is a good way to be, like, yeah,
let's shore up our election security. On the left, clearly,
their reasons are clearest data most people why we need
to secure our elections. So it's like, well, why isn't
this happen. Why does't Mitch McConnell do anything. Well, there's
a few reasons, right. One I think is the clearest
one is he wants foreign interference in our elections because
he probably thinks that's going to be advantageous to the

(27:39):
GOP in the elections. That's just plain and simple. And
when you look at sort of the way the Republican
Party has moved in the last few years, last decades,
they have a plan of being like, how can we
cheat the system and gain the system so much that
even people's like numerical majority, like, we can cancel that
out through jerrymandering or other bullshit um or just restricting

(28:00):
people's voting rights. The other thing, though, which is in
a recent report that came out is that a lot
of companies who make the voting systems they've been lobbying
very hard and sending a lot of money to Mitch McConnell.
So there's two companies that account for about eight percent
of the like voting machine game in the US, and

(28:21):
that's Dominion Voting Systems and Election Systems and Software. They
have hired lobbyists and for the first time in like years,
have been putting a lot of money suddenly into lobbying
both Chambers of Congress. A couple of things to point out.
Several lobbyists working for both of these companies have recently
made contributions to Mitch McConnell's campaign and his other joint

(28:43):
fundraising committee. A lobbyist named David Cohen, who lobbies for
Dominion Voting Systems, he gave McConnell two thousand dollars on
March thirty one, a thousand to his campaign committee and
a thousand to his joint fundraising committee. Around the same time.
Another lobbyists, Brian Wild, who works also for Dominion Vote
Systems or lobbies for them, gave McConnell a thousand dollars

(29:03):
on that same day also, and it goes on and
on and on, and you're like, Okay, well, this doesn't
stink like shit at all. Um, But when you look
at sort of what these bills like that are being
put forward that have bipartisan support, they would basically take
a bite out of their business when you look at it.
So one of the first things is none of these
election systems have any kind of regulations because they're considered

(29:28):
they've been designated critical infrastructure by the federal government. So
that means there's no federal oversight of these vendors. Uh.
So there's no way that we can maint or like,
there's no way for there to be oversight on how
the uh the machines work or operate, how the vote
vote counts work, what voters see when they cast their votes, um,

(29:48):
and how those vote totals are communicated to the public.
And they're also they've also point on this article there
are in fact more federal regulations for ballpoint pens and
magic markers than there are for voting systems and other
parts of our federal election infrastructure. Sea miles. But here's
what I don't understand. Because you gave me the House metaphor,

(30:08):
and I'm only understanding the house metaphor. So you told
me I had a security system at my house. Yeah,
what if I understand correctly, some friends of mine set
up that security system in my house, and they gave
me a pretty good deal on it. Right now, these
dudes try to rob me. They came into my house,
but they didn't and they left. Now you telling me
I got to go get a new security system and
pay again when they didn't rob the house. It sounds

(30:30):
like the system work to me. They came in like
we're not taking anything out, so system, well, this is
the same. That's that's sort of the logic that Mitch
McConnell's using, like, well, we don't have alterations and pointing
to the mother things like well there was no collusion
and no obstruction and this is just hysteria from the left.
But when you look at these bills that are being

(30:51):
put forward, like Senator Widen, he has like a lot
in the HR one that came out of the house.
Those have provisions that are talking about putting more paper
ballot printing mechanisms in it, because a lot of these
are all digital that you might not even be able
to verify Like what any how anyone voted if you
alter the file where everyone is saying, if we use

(31:13):
paper fucking ballots and optical scanners, that is the only
way we know. You can't you know, funk around remotely
on the internet and bring into our in our voting.
What about this global warm and y all on the
left are always yelling same thing, man, that's gonna touch
everyone eventually, just like this election fraud will and the
other thing. When a lot of analysts look at, you know,

(31:34):
this insistence on using paper ballots, that's gonna take a
huge bite out of these, like these electronic voter systems
because they have to begin to actually put money into
being Like okay, well, how do we create a like
printing system to go along with that so we can
also abide by this new law. So it's all kind
of it all kind of comes together to sort of say,
you know, we don't give a fuck a because the

(31:57):
way Congress is set up, in the way money and
lobbying can work and affect people's voting, uh their philosophy
when voting or bringing bills to the floor. And also
you just have Mitch McConnell who just doesn't give a
funk because he knows this is going to pay off
big lee if we have very vulnerable voters. And even
if somebody like a foreign country intervenes on behalf of

(32:18):
the Democrats, like the right is going to flip their
ship and like tear down the government until something is
done about that specific intervention. Like they will do something,
and they know that Democrats don't do ship unless it's
like politically expedient in the immediate near term. And so,

(32:39):
you know, I feel like there's just so many examples
like this where it's just you know, they just decide
to not funk around, not compromise even a little bit
on things that are openly, like clearly the right thing
to do, because you know, they know the Democrats are
going to back down eventually because the Republicans are debot

(33:03):
and the Democrats are read lack of a better analogy
from Friday's played by Tiny Zeus Lister and d J Pooh, Yeah,
I think everybody was thinking of that basically exactly what
Bike is right. And they also know the mainstream media
is going to talk about optics when fucking Mueller comes out,
and it's like yes, no, yes, but the things he's

(33:25):
saying yes and know about are basically that Russia intervened
and that the President tried to lie to cover up
the investigation into Russia intervening. That's a big deal. And
people are like he said it all, which we we
agree with. Still you motherfucker's at the New York Times

(33:45):
should not be writing about that. Why Why are we
surprised that Chuck todd is a bit so? Why are
we surprised? Look at that airline that Caesar is something else.
He's bringing it all sailors to the front, hads on deck,
all to the front forward, not aft um at. Yeah. Well,

(34:05):
speaking of Chuck Todd um, he had some interesting moments
this weekend because over the weekend, you know, Trump decided
to attack Elijah Cummings basically because he's a personal color
who had an opinion on his governing style and in
my opinion, miss opportunity to make fun of his last name.
In my comings, yeah, I would have said, how about
he stops commings all over his district? Right? What would

(34:29):
that even mean? People? Imagine if Trump treated that, it
would really fund your head. Ou everybody I was I
was usually used to like some dog whistle racism, concerned
about not concerned enough about crime, too concerned about Cummings. Yeah,
there we go. Maybe he should be Cummings to America.

(34:50):
So you know, Elijah Cummings, he represents the Baltimore area,
and Trump just went on his usual trademark ra whenever
a person of color who's a legislators involved, it's usually
go back to your crime infested district or or rat
infested district or home or something. It's always an infestation.

(35:12):
And then there's always like no human being would ever,
like in their right mind, live there. Okay, so everyone
who lives there's not a human ship. Yes. So these
are again more racist smoke bombs, I think to distract
from the fact that he's the worst president ever. Also,
he's missing his three percent growth fucking goals. He said
he was going to hit of all time. Yeah. Um

(35:33):
so because of that, they had to deploy some talking
heads to the Sunday shells like McK mulvaney, who you know,
I was gonna put some of the clips up when
he was on um Fox News, Chris Wallace kind of
held his feet to the fire. But mc mulvany just
like you're reading between the lines, too much, because he's like,
how am I reading between the lines. Whenever it's a
it's a like, especially if it's a black legislator, it's oh,

(35:56):
they're they're uneducated, they don't know this thing. They're from
a crime ship, dumb, very stupid. And he's like, I'm
not reading Chris. I was like, I'm not reading between
the lines. I'm reading the lines. And he's like, well,
you know, I think it's just like too much. That
was his whole thing. Fine. Rick Scott though, from Florida.
He fucking he had the reaction of somebody who just

(36:17):
doesn't know how to be uh totally spineless racist. Uh.
Chuck Todd again, he was on Chuck Cod's Sleepy Chuck.
He you know, asked him. He said, for the Republicans,
you think this is good politics for the president to
constantly be just stoking the flames of like racial hatred. Um,

(36:37):
And just listen to this first Rick Scott response. He
obviously thinks this is good politics inside the Republican Party.
Do you think it's good politics inside the Republican Party? Well, Chuck,
let's let's look at what he said, all right, and
why you did it? Uh? Congressman Cummings sat there and
attacked our border patrol agents. All right, this is this

(37:00):
reminds me of what happened to but that justifies a
racial resentment tweet in response? Is that presidential leadership? I look,
I didn't I didn't do the tweets, Chuck, I can't
talk about Rick Well, I didn't do the tweets. What

(37:23):
the fuck? And again he deserved it because he was
critical of the border patrol, where we are verifiably looking
at some awful, awful shit happening, right, yeah, but you're
not allowed to criticize that or you're basically an enemy
of America, And then all bets are off and I
can just attack you in very you know, racist ways.

(37:44):
And then there was another time. I mean I was
surprised Chuck Todd even said that. I was like, oh that,
excuse it. Normally Chuck Tod would just let him say
that and be like, Okay, well, let's talk about this
new art vark that's gone viral on Instagram. It would
be so now he's pressing him again later on, and
Rick Scott just gives like the most epic non answer,
like it's words, but I don't know what they mean.

(38:07):
You seem hesitant to do this, Uh, to criticize the
president individually on these things. I understand the politics of it,
But do we ever heal if each side just goes
into their corner? Chuck, Here's Here's that. When I agree
with the president, I'll agree with him. I disagree, I'll
disagree with him. You can ask him why I did
the tweet. I can tell you I've had to. I've

(38:27):
disagree with the President with with some things with regard
to Puerto Rico. I mean, is he happy about that?
Of course not okay, But I'm just like on Puerto Rico,
I'm gonna do what I believe in the best interests
of my state. I'm disappointed when people are out there
attacking border patrol agents. Would I like everybody to come
together and work together. That's what I'm trying to do
in my state. Uh, it's right now. I mean the

(38:48):
country is divided because of a lot of things. What
it's weird how even his voice changes, like you know, wanted,
I disagree with pressIt and and I agree when I
agree and disagree, have no I'm doing the best marine stage,
which I'll missed the juiciest quote when he when he
listed all the ethnicities that he's been meeting with lately.

(39:09):
Oh yeah, And I was actually impressed because I was like,
not a lot of people name a lot of those ethnicities. Yeah,
I was like, damn okay. Which is funny because, like
Chuck Todd said in that interview, is like you even
learned Spanish to get out there and meet people, meet people.
How the fund can you abide by this ship? And
then he was just sort of like deflecting by saying,
like why I do the things that outwardly make me

(39:31):
appear like I'm not discriminatory or have any kind of
you know, racial hatred in my heart. But I can't
speak for the president. See. But here's what you have
to understand. Fringe votes are like booty, right, like whereas
this like haven't you ever been around in a situation
where you like, we're like, okay, I have an opportunity
to hook up with a person, and then while ship
starts happening around and he go, I should probably go home,

(39:54):
but there's still that opportunity to hook up with that person.
And then even while this ship keeps happening, but you
just so convinced in your head, I'm gonna get I'm
gonna get booty. So you just like completely dumb yourself
down and do stupid ship go on for the ride
because you think that you don't get that booty. And
I think that's what's happened with the GOP is that
they're so convinced that these fringe votes are gonna come

(40:16):
through for them that they're like, alright, man, it's that
and they're racist like for them too. It's just sort
of like, well, we're out of ideas here, right. All
we know is we basically we were trying to like
subtly just keep like brown people down and marginalized people down,
and now that they're like starting to like numerically outnumber
of people, it's like, oh, ship, okay, I guess we

(40:36):
just gotta be like, yo, fuck, we don't like that.
Let's get this clan in. And that's why I don't
understand again when you have these people going out there
to defend all of these comments, it this is why
we're sort of saying. This is another reminder they have
seated any kind of argument or ground that would any
in any way suggest that they have any other goal

(40:57):
aside from just keeping America as white as possible. Yeah,
it's not economics. No, it's not constitution, Yeah it's not.
It's not that ship. Mick Mulvaney, like who used to
be a budget fucking hawk, would just praise that spending
bill that just raised the debt ceiling and he's like, well,
you know it's different because it's like, dude, we just
have seen niggas change their whole ship up because they

(41:17):
thought they were gonna get asked. I'm telling you, And
that's what that's what these votes is about. Like, that's what. Well,
that's why we have a power convert into ask And
I think just with all these Congress people, the end
game is just staying off as as long as possible
by any means necessary. You have a few people who
are principled enough to be like, I'm going to come

(41:38):
here to represent my district, but those are in the minority.
I mean, you saw a ship with Paul Ryan coming
out and be like, yeah, stop, Trump was trash, and
I'm like, money us in a position every day where
you could have said something and you did it. Why
because you wanted to keep your job. That's some whack ship.
But even when he was quitting from his job, he
didn't do it because the pressure around him. And now yeah,

(41:59):
now he's talking from the parking lot, right, yeah, yeah, anyway, up,
shut up and getting you were in the ring with him,
and you're just like, well, you know, I wouldn't knocked
him out though, Um, alright, we're gonna take another quick break.
We'll be right back and or back. And over the

(42:30):
weekend there was another mass shooting, uh, basically a terror attack.
Right wing dude who had posted on Instagram about having
just read Might Is Right by Ragnar Redbeard, which I'm
sure you're all familiar with that text, but it's an

(42:51):
anti Semitic right wing politician who wrote like a treatise
that is all right wing ideology and white supremacy, and
the shooter complained about his town filling up with mestizos
and white Silicon Valley douche bags. So on bright Bart,

(43:13):
I always like to see what they're saying when something
that is like directly in contradiction to their ideology happens.
What they're saying, and there's the story where they reported
this has fifteen thousand comments, which is a lot of
comments for a bright Bart article, and the most up
voted is false flag right on time. Uh, and they

(43:36):
just are claiming that it's this just gives them more
fuel to be angry at the left wing because they're
staging these attacks to come and get their guns. Is
basically the way that the conversation seems to go in
those comments sections. And just in general, I've I'm coming

(44:00):
more and more frustrated with the the mainstream media's Like
I think there are these ways that we have accepted
how things are, like for instance, the uh, you're just
talking about the spending bill where it's like raising the
debt to all time highs. But that happens every time

(44:22):
there's a Republican in office, the like national debt goes
sky high and then Democrats come in and because Republicans
are such hardasses, when a Democrats in office, they actually
get the debt down and you know, sometimes end up
with a surplus. But because just because there there's like

(44:43):
this nationally accepted narrative that Republicans are the fiscally responsible ones. Uh.
And with the media, it's, you know, there's this accepted
thing that there's a left wing bias in the mainstream media,
and I just there's just not there. There's there evidence
to support that claim. What that there's a left bias

(45:06):
in the media, there's a center, there's a center in
a little bit of right to center bias in Yeah,
that's what I feel like, And I feel like they
don't report when there's like an overwhelming, you know, trend
of right wing white supremacists ideologies doing mass shootings, the
mass killings, they just still call it like a mass
shooter and treat it differently than uh, they would if

(45:30):
it was an Islamic terrorist or even with the backdrop.
Now with Ted Cruz and other senators trying to get
Antifa made labeled as a terrorist organization, despite Christopher Ray,
the head of the FBI, saying, actually, no, right wing
like white supremacist terror is by far like the actual
threat in this country, and the body count is plain

(45:53):
to see. I mean, that's the that's the other headline.
That's like in the headlines. The only thing the media
is talking about with regards to who should be characterized
as terrorists is whether Antifa should be characterized as terrorists
while a white supremacist is going on a shooting rampage
and killing a six year old Latino boy. Yeah, I mean,

(46:15):
I think it's because at the end of the day,
everyone is too afraid to shake up the status quo. Yeah,
and like, you know, no one wants to be that
one person who's gonna shake ship as hard as they can,
like you know what I mean, Like, no one wants
to be that the news company to print a story
that no one else is printing. I mean, like no

(46:36):
one like that's I think that's truly what it is.
But I like it would be good for the bottom
line if they did that, because they'd be the only
ones doing that, and there's a lane for that. But
they don't do that because the entire system is predicated
on you know, corporations continuing to absolutely be the most
important thing and instead of individual people absolutely I mean,

(47:00):
well yeah, I think the bottom line is truth frightens people,
and a lot of people cannot accept truth. So when
you give people just pure, unadulterated, uncut truth that these
you know, there are these white right wing terrorists who
are operating with this within this country, a lot of
people get like, oh, I don't know, like that's that's harsh,

(47:22):
that's harsh, or people think like it's a that's that
can't be actually true. And because of that. I think
that that puts a damper on how things are being
reported because if you can go to your safe space
on Fox News, they'll treat this as an isolated incident,
you know, not really mentioned what this what kind of
texts this person was referring to prior to carrying out
an attack, and just leave it like and then this
thing happened. Let's move on, because we all know what happens.

(47:44):
A shooting is just a reason for the left to
get fired up about taking guns away because we're gonna
need them to fight, you know, the fucking government when
their overreach becomes too strong. But like, let's be real,
a lot of this tyranny is right here right now.
I mean, Americans prioritized for it over everything, right, which
is why the number one rule at the dinner table
is no no politics, no religion. Like you could put

(48:05):
your elbows on the dinner table before you talk about
your political views. And it's because people are so not willing,
like you said, to face the truth and realize how
uncomfortable a lot of it is right like there, no
one is interested in making themselves uneasy. It's like, I mean,
I think that's kind of why you know, it took
them so long to even say Trump is a racist,

(48:27):
Like now they're saying it a little bit in but
even then they're just saying racist tweets, like they still
they still won't put the name to the game. Well
they I think they finally did after the AOC attack
or ilha no Mark, Like in the last month when
we talked about this on the show Where Were Now,
we saw op eds were like, it's official Trump racist.
You're like, hold the funk up. And then since the nineties,

(48:51):
it's the fucking sixties plays whole lineage and their their
insistence on not renting apartments to black people, and and
it goes on and on. But it's it's comfort, man,
it's comfort, you know. Uh. I think James Baldwin, like,
you know, he said like they cannot face it, and
I think it's because facing it means undoing the entire

(49:15):
fucking thing, and that's a lot of work, and nobody
wants to do it. You know. Uh, look, this is
a really bad metaphor. But well, I go to McDonald's
and I ordered burger and they give it to me wrong,
my dude, I eat it. I eat it. I don't
go back and change it. It's because I'm so uncomfortable
with the idea of going up to them and saying, hey,
this is what I actually deserve. And I think that

(49:36):
is all of America. We getting a ship burger and
we're just going, yeah, it's dope. Well, yeah, we know
how to eat ship burgers out here. Yeah, and we're like, yeah,
this is fine, this is what I ordered. It's like, no,
it's not just being really passive in the face of
just such you know, cruel injustice, finding ways to contort
ourselves and like, as we even talk about this, right,
like my fear is as these shootings seep happening, like

(49:58):
I have to insulate myself in like emotionally to try
and not be like, oh, yeah, like this is so
fucking normal. And then I don't want to just completely
feel helpless and think, wow, like this six year old
kids just got shot for no fucking reason, uh, and
waiting in line for a bounce house. Yeah, ready to
go into a bounce house. And it's completely gone from Twitter, right, like,

(50:22):
no one. I don't even think fucking Jake Paul wedding
was like tweet like trending underneath that whatever, don't be
mad about that, but whatever, I'm just champagne. But that's
how But I'm saying that's how we can We're able
to pivot away from reality. But yeah, I think I
think we're insulating ourselves from reality. But I think there's

(50:43):
a real like blind spot that we have and that
the media has about just the specifically the aggression that's
coming from the right. Like we we talked about the
fact that some Republican politicians basically left Oregon and said
that they would shoot anybody who tried to come and
apprehend them. That's like, that's so wild and like just

(51:08):
so beyond the pale of like you know, that is
open political radicalization, like violent radicalization. But people just you know,
it's it's just not reported on because it's you know,
and wasn't the last time rhetoric was said like that,
Like right before the Civil War, we're like literally senators
were like pulling out gats and knives on each other

(51:30):
and being like, bro, if you come from on the
Senate floor, got stabbed, right because they're just's like if
you try to take monstly, I I got that thing
on me and the abolitionists got his head caved in yeah,
on the Senate on the Senate floor. Um. But yeah,
And I guess to your point about the media sort
of protecting those structures, that's like why we see such

(51:51):
little improvement on the fucking real, big existential threats to
the planet in society, which is like global warring. Where
the fund is that cover where the funk are, Like,
is the media holding these like industry giants fucking feet
to the flames? Yeah, I care to talk about how
you're trying to convince us I need to use paper straws,

(52:13):
but really you need to be doing or obscuring the
fact that like we actually need like progressive wealth taxes
and these other things. And it's like, no, it's like
there's haters rather than like, yeah, we have like billionaires
hoarding the wealth at the top at the detriment of
other people. But now they don't want to talk about that.
They're more interested in seeing little kids deal drugs on HBO.

(52:34):
You foor you. I don't hold HBO is responsible for
I think HBO is responsible for all of this, for
having that little kid deals drugs. This is the genesis point.
This is yeah, this is this is where we let go.
This is where we completely bent over. We said, you
know what, fine, Fine, Yeah, a little kid can have
face tattoos and deal drugs. You'll point to this in

(52:54):
your historical text as the moment when days went wrong.
Just you wait until you guys read Edgar Mope. Who's
there's people history of the United States. And I wanted
to talk about this this younger generation real quick, because uh,
there's something that a couple of a couple of stories here.
I want to talk about one Friends, Friends continuing to

(53:17):
Like I understand people wanting to watch Friends and the
Office even though like they're from a past generation or
past decade, because they're good at passing the time, and
there's like you know, it's there. It's good. Yeah, you
got to hear about like Friends Free from Reality. Uh.
It takes place in a version of New York where

(53:39):
it straddles nine eleven, but nine eleven never happens in
the universe. Ever heard of it? Never heard of it? Bro,
But now people like I keep seeing people wearing t
shirts with like Friends faun on it, with like the
character's names and like Kyrie, like how to shoe that
was like some gear that was inspired by Friends, and
like I don't know, man, I've just this seems I'm

(54:00):
recidented to me. I was like trying to think of
an equivalent from my time, Like mash was the sitcom
from like when I was in middle school. You would
have got punked if you're like if you're wearing gear, right,
like what y'all with Hawkeye. It's the fact that it's
a it's so outdated. It's so it was already outdated

(54:20):
like right when it went off, and now it's like
the it's like defining a whole aesthetic. There. The reason
this is in the news right now is because they're
doing like a pop up called the One with the
pop Up. Uh, friends is the pop up is called
the one with the pop up because that's the name.
That's how their namesode. Man, that dude got a fat

(54:41):
bonus when he pitched that or when she pitched that.
I apologize. I would like think a man had that
lay mass idea. Right, that's fair. There you go, there
you go, bring it back, bring it back. But yeah,
it is. But I mean it's all cyclical, right, you know,
Like that that seventies show was sort of like the
beginnings of people being like yeah, man, igon era kind
of thing like their things always come around. It almost

(55:04):
feels too fast right now, we're god, damn, wait, hold on,
we're already in nostalgic about friends. Or I think it
feels too fast because y'all are the ones who are
living in it. So like I think people who are,
you know, teenagers in the seventies hearing about that seven
should be like, oha, the sevenies just happened. That's probably
how it felt for them. But I'm like, damn, the
eighties just happened. Well, like in my when I was

(55:25):
in middle middle school, like kids were into the Grateful
Dead and shipping like classic rock exactly, but they were
like taking acid like that. It was like a cool
like it was a thing that like teenagers and the
nats are having fun pivoting couches and crushes on their friends.
That's so funny to me that that's their version of
of like the seventies, Like because he's drugs, man, They're

(55:49):
not doing drugs, right, They're not doing drugs. They're doing
the cousins who are like us being like, don't like
I don't want to be like mildly fell asleep at
the table his own birthday in the cake just just
fucking headbutted that cake. He burns his eyebrows on the
candles trying to blow it up. Because it's slowly, you

(56:11):
can still see the ridges if you look close enough
the game. Those aren't cuts I put in my eyebrow.
Those are the scars. Those are wax ridges. All right,
One more thing I wanted to talk about that I
don't understand about young people, and I wanted to bring in,
uh our our young producer, Mr DJ Daniel. I'm twenty
nine a week young. Yes, young, He's not even the

(56:35):
youngest person in the roomy. I still asked to a lot.
I played for a little bit. I kept getting rock,
so I stopped. And this is this is the point.
So the reason we want to bring danilin is because
he is the Marv Albert of e sports. You bit
a gamer on the ash, precisely, I bit him on

(56:57):
the ASSI game his house. Uh No, he does commentary
for e sports, and so he understands this world a
little bit better. But so over the weekend, a young
Fortnite player sixteen year old won three million dollars in
the Fortnite World Cup in second place. A twenty four

(57:18):
year old Harrison Psalm chang uh one one point eight
million also correct. Uh okay the first I'm reading this
off of the news article right now. Yeah, he's on
MI oh and he's still be like, that's correct. The
conversation now, So, the average age of the player in

(57:42):
this tournament who made it to this tournament, which is
obviously all elite players, was sixteen. Um the twenty four
year old. This article makes a point to point out
he was one of the oldest players in the tournament.
And this is something I've read about E sports in general,
is that like by the time you're twenty, like you

(58:04):
hit twenty five, you're aged out. While there's peak there's
peak gaming era for yousically, but that doesn't Yeah, it
doesn't make sense. It should be like golf because it's
you know, like you could play it till you're in
your forties, because it's not like physically taxing. But it's
because of those like quick Twitch, like the basically the

(58:25):
cables from your brand to your fingertips and what's going on. Well,
it's just kind of game by game. You know, there
are games that have a much wider age range of
people who play them, and then there's games that really
rely on these these twitch movements. As you're talking about
like first person shooters, you're because you've got to be
headshot and counter strikes. Yeah, exactly. Your overwatches, they're mostly

(58:46):
dominated by young players because they you know, they require
those kind of movements and stuff, so you be quick.
So do you think if I fucking buckled down and
I fucking put in twenty hours a day into one
of these games, I couldn't get my get my my
ship to a level to play one of these games. Yeah,
I mean, you know, maybe Miles, maybe it would have

(59:07):
to be like a fighting game, right, you were saying that,
like fighting games where it's just like a button mash.
This has me fucked up. I feel like, yeah, I
should be able to have a long career in video games,
and we were too old for this by the time
we hit like twenty. Well a lot you guys got
to watch the documentary Hot Girls Wanted, Hot Girls wanted
to talks about this but about porn stars. Oh is

(59:28):
that that Rashida Jones? Just like you think that you'd
be like, oh, you just keep you just flame out. Man.
I think adult films and video games might be a
little bit different. I don't think so. I don't think so.
It's about both getting rocked all the time, but multiple people.
I mean, the language is almost identical the language I

(59:49):
think for sure. But I guess with kids, is it
just more because they have free time and they can
just be fucking playing games all day. Older people like
you have like life responsibilities. It's it's that and also
they just have more time to keep up with what
new games are happening, like a lot of the old
guard video game players are playing games that haven't changed
in like ten fifteen years, like Super Smash Brothers. Melee
has the same top eight pretty much every single year

(01:00:11):
since the game started being competitive. So it's just whatever
you're paying attention to, right, What do you think do
you think you could get into the sports like I
play on I liked, Look, this is what I'll do
two K for. It's to boost up my own ego.
So I put it on pro and I score a
hundred and you create yourself of course every time. And

(01:00:31):
what are your stats and your creative player? Oh my
boy averages forty ten and ten. Wow, Oh he's a god.
And what are you playing? What was it you playing?
Small forward six eleven six eleven small forward went from
the what's your what's your agility at everything? Put money
into it? That's you know, and see that's the air.
I think we grew up with video games, or at
least me was like being like, I'm going to escape

(01:00:52):
into this thing exactly where the second like online like
first person shooters came and I began to see how
it's matched. I was with like other people. I was like, oh,
this ship is getting away, and I don't play them.
I don't play them. I play story games because I'm
I feel like I'm better than everyone else in there,
but they're all computers are designed to me do it
to maintain our fragile exactly. But like you know, there

(01:01:14):
are people who play two K who, like you know,
turned down certain sens like they make it as actual
as possible, and I'm like, no, that's not gonna be
me a fantasy world. I need a fantasy world. What's
the last game you played, Jack that you can remember
having a controller and on his Mortal roll up? And
I can remember having a controller in my politics. I mean, yeah,

(01:01:37):
I play games on my phone, but I do not
play I haven't picked up a controller and a long
time man. The we I think this is like, and
now we have the beginnings of a screenplay right where
we tell Jack he sees like an article goes, he's
like a dad who's down on his luck. He's a
six en year old made three million dollars, his kids

(01:01:59):
trying to go to private school, and he goes, there's
nothing in this one last, one, last job. Jason Bateman
is already starting this movie dog exactly, and he just
meets a group of kids like that weed from Can
you help Me get good? At these There's gonna be
a part where they treats him how to shoot and
stuff like that. Rock bro, we already sold this ship,

(01:02:23):
got no because you don't cut daily guys, the free
intellectual property machine. We got to anything else we need
to know about the gaming world, the sports world, just
that even if these people age out, most of them
end up going into streaming anyway. Like Ninja, who is
probably the most famous Fortnite players, later almost never played

(01:02:44):
at any of these tournaments because that's not his concern. Like,
he just streams and makes more than enough money doing that.
How much money does he make a year? It varies,
but he made a lot of money last year, like
what eight million? I don't I can't tell you. I
can't tell you an exact number, but I will tell
you this. When he did that Drake stream that night,
he made sixty thou dollars in five seconds because all
he did was plug his Twitch sh All he did

(01:03:05):
was plug the twitch Prime thing. He said, thank you
everybody for watching. If you have Twitch Prime, you can
subscribe right now. But just clicking subscribe now, it's a
free subscription for you. And he got twelve thousand subscriptions instantly. Yo,
We're fucking thousand something like that. It was insane. This
is already a perfect strict script where I'm stupid and
I think all i have to do is just show
up on Twitch and I'm gona a millionaire, and I realized,

(01:03:27):
I'm I'm out of my But that's a different thing. Sorry,
that's a different skill though, right, Like Ninja is also
entertaining and like fun to listen to, Yeah, most certainly,
but it's definitely something that a lot of pro gamers
will move towards when they're done. Like one of the
other most famous streamers is this guy Shroud, who I
would say is not nearly as like eccentric personally as
Ninja is. He doesn't do it. He doesn't like die

(01:03:49):
his hair or do any crazy dances on stream. Shroud
went strictly from playing CSCO professionally to streaming, and he
has thirty thousand people watching him every day, so he's
doing fine. By the way, Ninja makes one point seven
five million dollars a month. There you go. Ah, yeah,
we gotta play in two K with our whole creative players.
That's what I'm saying. And I'm saying like, let's like,

(01:04:09):
do you think I can get money by being bad
at it? Absolutely? Insolutely agree. You would be a great strang.
See that's why my friend texts me every day. My
friend's just like, you gotta put up with everyone's like
Twitter streaming. I'll give you my PS four camera, you
can do it. I mean I might take this offer.
I'm not doing ship. I mean, look, if it's if
it's one point seven five million a month, if it's

(01:04:30):
what you say it is, I love it. But I
have to clean my room though. No, no, no, that's
that's part of that. Just make that a subscribe and
I'll clean my room. Oh, have on in the background
is holding up your coum shorts like you see this ship. Uh,
she don't want to bring to passwor to her house.
Explain the comb shorts. Well, there's nothing to explain. There's

(01:04:51):
nothing to explain. I've moved past it. You're not no
longer come so longer, come short. Now I take paper towels,
come to the paper Welcome, Welcome to I'm sorry host
me and I did not want this to happen. They
did this. I apologize all right. Now she has to
write that down as one of the words the X

(01:05:17):
files to come short. They're standing up on their own
fishing sufficient whatever, paper towels now, I hope y'all happy
complaining about global warming. I gotta do three paper towels
every time, tons of water to use a washing machine

(01:05:39):
because the bounty is not strong enough to catch my sevens.

from I don't even know who this dude is, but

(01:06:43):
it's that R Kelly mean or R Kelly has two
fingers to his head. He's like saying, like I know,
I know. And the person said, the reason Beyonce is
rich is because she has dinner with jay Z every night.
That's a reference to this argument on Black Twitter whether
you'd rather have twenty dollars or dinner with jay Z
and which one will make you closer to success? I said,

(01:07:07):
the reason Fance is rich it's because she has jay
Z every night. It's pretty fucking good. Who would you
have dinner? Would you have dinner with him every night?
I would have to do with j Z. I don't
understand people who pick I don't understand. I don't get it. Bro,
twenty dollars is it nothing? I have a feeling because

that fan mentality, like yo, honestly, he would help me
out too, because show how much I know about his

(01:07:29):
work and stuff. You know what, I want to help
you out. It's not even that, it's just the keys
in the knowledge and information that he would have, Like
you know what I'm saying. I mean he sold it
all from crack to O p M in the third person.
