Yeah. Hello the Internet, and welcome to season four fifty two,
Episode five of The Daily's i Geist.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
It's a production by Heart Radio.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
It's a podcast where you take a deep dive into
America's share consciousness through the day's news. We also have
a new non news his three version of The Daily
zeke I dropping each Monday morning called the Iconograph, where
you do a deep dive into the rough the lens
of a different icon. Last couple of weeks we've done
weird Al weird Al having a bit of a I
feel like, did Weird Al's Tiny Desk concert just come out?

Speaker 1 (02:16):
I saw that today? Yeah, I didn't know if it
was long ago, but day it was the first day
I saw it.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
We also did Helen Keller. I don't believe I've seen
her tiny Desk.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Literally just about to say, I have a.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Good Helen Keller joke. You want to hear it? Oh no,
oh no, yeah, I already know. What did Helen Keller
say when someone handed her at cheese grater? What the
most violent book.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
I ever read Jesus christ Man thence Fince, that's a
good one.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Come on.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
It is the first way that I ever encountered Helen
Keller was in Helen Keller jokes when I was like
four in the eighties.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Okay, I'll tell you what. The first time I encountered
Helen Color was also through jokes, but I was eleven
and I moved here from Ukraine and I had no
idea who she was still, but people were constantly making
fun of her, and I was like, what did she do?
I kept being like, who's this bitch? Be like such

(03:15):
a like she's gonna be a market thatcher type like asshole.
And then I look her up.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
And she's just like an amazing Wow. The jokes telling
this country is horrible.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
I'm like, just telling my country about politicians jokes. You're like,
look at this dumb bitch overcoming the greatest dogs you've
ever seen. I was like, oh, yeah, it was.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
It was a really good episode. I recommend people checking
it out. It seems like it's going to be a grind,
just a Helen full hour episode about Helen Keller, but
it ends up being very interesting and cool. Left so
you can go check that out. You can also check
what about the dude total bitch Helen. That's that's the

(04:05):
whole take, like the movie.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Okay, so afraid you weren't gonna listen. She's a fucking bitch.
You go ahead listen to that.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
No, she's very remarkable, also secret, so like one of
those historical secret socialists that that part of her story
gets completely written out because we don't want to admit
that there was ever such a thing in these United States.
Also check out the dude episode, which was really fun
with today's guest that's Mancini. Yeah, there are the episodes

(04:46):

scream cry, that's Mangione. When the world thinks it's fine
that you shot healthcare guy me Gione. That one courtesy
of Snarfula and New Chris Collabo's.

Speaker 1 (05:20):

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Hey, I pardon here.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
What do we think? What? What does the Italian American
community think of the when the moon hits your eye
like a big pizza pie?

Speaker 2 (06:52):
I thought you were going to say about Louis g
but for something much more important.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
We're a little split on it. It's not like it's
you know, it's popular, but it's not culinarily accurate, and
so you know, some people take events to that.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Definitely not an accurate description of what it's like to
have the moon hit your eye.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Like yeah, well, I mean that's not what you're supposed
to do with pizza, and so like, yeah, that's not
how you're supposed to eat it, like you you fold
it in the middle and then you pull the grease.
All right, great, well that's just not how you to pizza. Spike.

Uh, we're thrilled to have you here, Vents. We're gonna

Speaker 3 (07:36):
In with Gwyneth Paltrow, who has left the planet and
appears to be pro AI.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
I wish you fucking would Gwennas I wish king.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
We'll talk about grand theft Auto six being used as
an incentive to get people to re enlist. We'll talk
about the dirt bike Hero Car Chase that captivated Lost
Angelus yesterday two days ago. We might talk about data centers.
We might talk about the movie that's gone viral over

(08:09):
in China. We might ask the question, wait, Turtles, is
bird all? This plenty more of First, Vince, we do
like to ask our guests, what is something from your
search history that's revealing about who you are?

Speaker 1 (08:24):
We'll go with me here the search history. One of
the last things on my search history was was Hotel
California you can check out anytime, because someone wrote you
can check out any time you like, and in my
head it was you can check out any time you want.
And I don't know if you guys have this thing

(08:44):
where you fixate on small details, like I feel like
I would have gone to the mat saying like, it's
check out any time you want, of course, And then
I read the lyrics and it was time you like,
And I was like, how did I like? Why was
I convinced it was the wrong thing? And why do
I care? I knew?

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Was like, and frankly, I don't know what the fuck
is wrong with me?

Speaker 2 (09:03):
I think I think it's and you're really fun umb
about this. No, I also have things like that, or
I'm like pretty positive that someone wrote a certain song
and I'll be like I'll swear anything, and I look
it up, I'm like, oh, it actually wasn't Michelle Branch
it was Vanessa Carleton and that's my fault.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah, it's tough.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
I mean, I guess, like before Google, either you could
just like be the most confident person or you would
look stupid like a lot. Sure.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Yeah, and that does change the meaning of the song
in a very profound Oh wait, no, it doesn't at all, doesn't,
do you? Like, do you like that song?

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Me? Yeah, no, No, I'm like, I'm with the dude
on this one. I think I enjoy the like the
certain Joe Walsh Eagle songs, but I feel like that
one's distinctly not. I feel like that one's distinctly like
a Henley song.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
And oh yeah, that's Henley getting in his ba yeah
and we being like giving himself goose bumps while he's
like writing it, you know, he's like, oh shit.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Man, I don't know why, but that song to me
is such quintessential Americana that like I'll allow it.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah. I And also.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
There's like a place on have you ever driven by
this jack in La? That is Hotel California. It's like
on ocean in Santa Monica, And I always want to
look up if like they named it after the song
or was this based on the hotel? But I never
cared enough because the evils.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
You know another thing that I thought about today when
I was doing you know, you can check out any
time you like. I'd never like pondered the meaning of it,
but today I was like, Oh, they're like saying that
you can like get high in California, but you'll you'll
be stuck here. That's kind of like this is that
what they're going for? There to be a drug check
out so you can check out anytime you like. Man,
we got drugs everywhere.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
So much deeper than I thought. I think you're one
thousand percent correct.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
I thought it was about Satanism. It's just about drugs
and having a good time. I could definitely see Don
Hemley being like, wait what you thought it was about
satan No, it's about a hotel that I stayed at
one time. Yeah, it's talking about it. I just didn't
like the hotel.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
It was a song about like a hotel that has
like ghosts and that's why you can't leave, you know,
like like a Netflix show or something.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
I do not like that song, I but like at
this point, but I do think it's a powerful rite
of passage to be into the lyrics to that song
when you're like twelve years old and you're like first
hearing it and you're like, whoa dude, wait, there's actually
some fucked up shit in here, because it's like it's

(11:44):
a song that your parents like listen to, you know,
it's just everywhere.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
And then the parent music, Yeah, like parents getting too
drunk at a dinner party. You're like, yeah, guys, knock
it off with the.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
The two parents.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
It also like is a creative writing exercise. It like
goes off the rails a little bit where it's where
the like he's doing like subtle stuff with like the Devil,
you know. And then at one point it's like we
are programmed to receive What the fuck they turned into robots?
What are you doing? Man? Anyways, fuck the Eagles. You know,

(12:23):
we got into a nice discussion about why The Dude's
rejection of the Eagles is philosophically important in that uh,
in that The Dude episode, I think I.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Think, Yeah, I didn't want to rehash that. I was like,
I feel like I've already said this before this time.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
We are a rehashing podcast, that's what that's what we do.
Speaking of rehashing, Sophia and I have an apology to make.
We we spent a bunch of which it is trending
and trending episode talking about the top pappas. We the
pops top of the pop as Sophia termed it, Papa John,

(13:03):
Papa Smurf, Papa John bottom of the list.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, just below human papoloma virus.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
Uh huh yeah, so the human papoloma virus was Sophia's
edition and Papa Roach. Yeah, we started talking about it
a couple of days ago. So Papyrus font was a
good one. Papa Iris, we did. Our judges allowed that.
I was surprised our judges allowed that. I thought they weren't.

(13:30):
We're going to call bullshit on that one.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Yeah, it was crazy.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
I tried to slide Popeye by and they said, get
the fuck out of here.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah, yeah, Popa.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
And of course Papa as a thing to call your
father is adorable. Uh ill, Papa is one that I
hadn't thought of. But that is what we call the pope.
We Italian Americans called the pope Papa. That's that is
my offensive. We talked Papa Pia. Then we did a

(14:07):
long news story about paparazzi and didn't didn't even make
the connection on the episode Agios Paparazzi are on there
there Papaya, the wonderful Papaya, great addition to the polos Payya.
All right. Anyways, we wanted to apologize because I do

(14:30):
feel feel bad for the people who are like driving
around being like weazzi? Are they not?

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah, paparazzi.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Why you've said paparazzi fifteen times? How do you not
hear it?

Speaker 1 (14:42):
The fuck is wrong with you?

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Guys?

Speaker 3 (14:43):
She even says papa like twelve times in the song.
All right, Vince, we've had enough fun. Underrated Underrated.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
I don't hope I haven't used this one before. Maybe
I have, probably not. I think underrated? Is you said underrated?

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Right? I certainly did. Yeah, you can do in either order,
if it makes more sense to overrated.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah, let's go overrated first. I think overrated specializing like
people who can like have won, people that know like
what their career was going to be when they were
like sixteen or twenty five. Don't like it, Nah, underrated
being a diletant. Hell yeah, I don't wanna. I don't

(15:31):
want to bruh. Yeah, I just want to dabble enough.
Like once it gets into like the real granular nitty gritty,
I'm kind of out. But like, up until that point, awesome.
Abi Oh yeah, good said like a true podcaster exactly. Yes,
it's a diletant's medium, it really is. Are you an expert?

Speaker 3 (15:52):
No, I just like to talk shit about some stuff sometimes. Yeah,
that stuff that I like kind of remember seeing in
a documentary made by a diletant, but the dilettante was
interviewing experts.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah, so, and I feel like it's fine, don't worry
about it. Also, you know what, I will be making jokes,
so I feel like that adds to the diletonness of
it all. Anyway, enjoy this podcast about Check's Notes ninety
day fians.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
I always loved like watching a like Ken Burns documentary
and they'd like have somebody on who's like not an
Abe Lincoln excellent, Like their whole career is like Andrew Johnson,
you know, what I mean, like it would just be
the least important president, and like they're just like I'm
gonna fucking nail down that corner and be the only

(16:46):
person who like I I know about like letters that
they wrote home. Yeah, they were like mainly grocery lists, you.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Know, yeah, pick up some potatoes. I feel like ken
Burns is the dilettante documentarian though, because like most documentaries
they like pick an angle. They're like, oh, I want
to do a documentary about Teddy Roosevelt's relationship with his son,
and ken Burns is just like I'm gonna do one
this about jazz higher thing. Yeah yeah, the whole one. Yeah,

(17:21):
not like Miles Davis' is like blue out all of jazz,
all jazz. Other people know how no jazz.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
The next one, I think mas concept absolutely.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
Mass that absolutely ken Burns documentary waiting to be made.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Words ken Burns persists life. Oh so it's just gonna
be like an hour and a half. Yeah, I think
I can capture it.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
I'm thinking at fourteen parts, thirty minutes each.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
I got this.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
It's we we live in an age of dileton, Like
we're a dot connecting, We're an dot connecting period of time,
and that is what AI is trying to take from us. Well,
I really connect those dots for you, but it's bad
at it.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
It is heartening a little bit that they.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Some of the things aren't dots.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yeah, yeah, some of them are dashes like Morse code.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah, or you rub at it and you just had
something on your screen.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
I feel like that's a lot of AI logic, you
know what I mean, Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
But I feel like they they sort of like the
people like that are promoting AI the hardest, Like they
were convinced that it was going to replace like artists
and writers and things, and it turns out it's like, no,
it mostly replaced like coders and people that do what
you do. Like like, it's much better at replacing math
and stem people than it is at replacing humanities people.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
But they've never really been able to grasp the humanity
like Elon Musk. You know, we've seen him do comedy,
We've seen him dance, we seen him do his attempts
at these things. We've seen him do his attempts that
meant many things, and you know it's it's like, you know,
like the somebody who came from a different planet. Like,

(19:19):
so to have a machine that would be able to
replace all those things is his ultimate dream, but he
has no no grasp on it.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
So yeah, what if we could Yeah, what if we
could replace happiness with computer?

Speaker 3 (19:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (19:34):
I mean it's like like we already, we keep mentioning this,
but it just feels like this is just kind of
the peak of this, or like Sam Almon using AI
to parent his kid and being like, actually this is
a hack.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Yeah, so quick hack. I just like put my kid's
favorite Blue episodes into a computer, and then it taught
me how to talk to them, taught me what what
questions to ask my kids?

Speaker 1 (20:00):
My son, what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Just literally.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
That's what they call elevators two days ago.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
It's not Blues Clues, so like the accent is killing
me because I'm still picturing the dog from Blues Clues,
but now it's Australian.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
I don't know Blue is Clues enough to yes and that,
but I wish I did.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Sophia is a bluey truth, like she doesn't you know
how some people are like I don't think dinosaurs actually
existed because not blind Stevie Won, who's not blind Sophia
is a Blue denier. She doesn't believe Blue. She we
we did a whole story about Bluie and she commented

(20:48):
on it as if we were talking about the dog
from Blue Blues Clues, and then still refused to acknowledge
that Blue was the thing. After we were like, oh
that was that was a mix up, and I admire it.
It's like, well, I haven't seen that shit, so.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
I want to say that I'm the one that found
that I was wrong. No one was helping me drown.
You guys were just like not throwing me life savers.
You were just throwing life savers like the cant at me.
And it was really like ironic and not funny. But
the point is all I said was ears. I was like,

(21:28):
I think the dog has the hanging down ears, and
they redid it because I looked at the picture of
Blue and the ears were standing up. Jack is like
gently like it's always had those ears, and I'm like,
I don't understand what's happening.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
No, not the original one, not the original Bluey's Clues.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah, I clung to that.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
Anyways about it, It's all right. It ended up working
working out just fine. We're gonna take a quick break
speaking of things working out just fine. We're gonna take
a quick break, and then we're gonna talk about Gwyneth Paltry,
who anytime I'm feeling a little bit stressed out, I
just like to watch an interview with Gwyneth Paltrow because

(22:08):
she seems very chilled out and like she hasn't interacted
with somebody who makes under you know, three point five
million dollars annually in the last two decades.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
So we'll be.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Right back, and we're back Gwyneth Paltrow fans, right, all fans,
huge fans.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
I celebrate her entire catalog.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Yes, I changed my middle name to Goop.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
Good actress. I mean, come on, oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
I feel like there's like, you know, method actors will
live in a character of you know, like whoever they're
trying to embody. I feel like she lives in a
weird like suspended space, where like she doesn't really know
the difference between reality and being in a movie.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Mmmm.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
Some of my favorite stories she's had, just like as
these are, the more benign ones are when she told
Timothy Shallime that he needed to do micro abrasion for
some of the pock marks on his skin while he
was in character in Marty Supreme.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
So did he actually got simply for that is that
what happened?

Speaker 3 (23:33):
He has like pock market he has like you know,
the the makeup department did a good job of like
making his skin look kind of pockmarked, and she was like, honey,
you should not look like that at your age.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
She only she only shows up to the set for
like the forty five minutes that she's filming, so she
was completely unaware, No, he was in the makeup chair.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
I love that truly. I think she just floats in
in like an actual popemobile, arrives on set, does her lines,
and then is whisked away. Because the other story that
just like I think speaks to her having left the
planet is that multiple people have talked about how how
Tom Holland, who she's been in four movies, four Avengers

(24:16):
movies with she has multiple times been.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Like and who is there? And who is he? Like
as he's like right next to her within your shot,
she just she didn't really like she was two in character.
She's like, oh, that's Spider Man. Who's Tom Holland? Right, Well,
that's Peter Parker.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
I don't know that would be yeah, But then Robert
Downey Junior had to explain to her who Spider Man
was and that she'd been in Spider Man movies.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Oh that's right, I remember, she fully she fully forgot
she was in Spider Man movies.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, fair enough, No clue, I forgot that
I watched some of them. Yeah, I mean, but.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
That's on us. We've seen so many Spider Man but
she's not seen any of them.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
So this is this is kind of my question. I
feel like in the past, a level of celebrity like
this who's like kind of left the planet and just
like is surrounded by only rich people and people who
like work for them, whose like job it is to
like completely remove any friction from their lives. I feel
like they would just like I don't know, like have

(25:23):
their own production house and like have a wine and
just like you know, maybe like do some workout videos
or something like that. And now it's like you get
swept into like the engine of late stage capitalism.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yeah, and you have to you have to be you
have to invest in various startups and like pretend to
be a tech futurist. Yes, yes, exactly.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Just shut the fuck up and be quietly rich on
your estate.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Yeah, that's the Ashton Kutcher thing. It's like, shut up Kelso.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
It seems it seems harder and harder for these people
to do that. No, he's actually the fact that he
went when Steve Jobs died was immediately like, I know
whose job this is to make the Steve Jobs movie.
Gwyneth Paltrow has so some of the things she's done

(26:18):
in the past year. She starting that ad for a
luxury high rise condominium where it has like a switch
through m Night Shyamalan ending where you think the whole
time it's about a like high rise luxury condo in
on like Park Avenue in New York, and it's really
in Israel, in like an apartheid state. She's like, oh,

(26:40):
you thought we were in New York. No, we're in
Tel Aviv or whatever.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
Also, you know, for free you get views of all
of the dead and main children ran all of the
destroyed communities, And that's just for free, that's true.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
You guys like reclaimed wood coffee tables and reclaimed way
to water your launch, Well, this is actually reclaimed land
that we have built this high rise on.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
It's like the most eco friendly thing, because like, really,
you destroy a culture and you repurpose the cycling.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
So rumors are circulating that Gwyneth Paltrow is hosting a private,
off the record, all fresco dinner, private off the record,
all fresco dinner is at her Hampton's home in honor
of chur boy Sam Altman, Everyone's favorite dinner, gaest. I'm
sure yes, yes.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Also, you can't put off record.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
In in this the invite.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
On paper on the record fight. If you want it
to be off record, make a phone call ho. But
that's how you stay off.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Records, Like I don't know what the oral tradition.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
Yes, but uh, what appears to be a leaked copy
of the invite has been circulating. Some people doubt it's
real due to the poor design, but it's like the
poor design is like, man, it's so culti and mid
summer coded like that, which is like, well, that's.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
That's that's what she is. What are you talking about?
It looks like exactly her taste, Like it's very milk
toast and you know, vaguely threatening with like little like
you know, get out undertones. Yeah, am I picturing a
cop a teacup with a spoon stirring, and I guess.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
I am stirring in itself.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Yeah, and it's right next to the invite, Like I
think it makes sense.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
Goop has made a number of pro AI moves in
recent years, including a twenty twenty five video in which
Paltrow declared that she loves to ask AI to provide
her with recipes, which like.

Speaker 5 (28:43):
That recipe is gonna suck shit, Like, yeah, that's this
can be so bad. Why are you even like that's
just such a bad lie to talk to tell? And
she also used Goop to hype drone warfare posting and
Real Industries co founder Trey Stevens on her podcast Uh

(29:04):
So I sow chic, Just like how does that? Like
it's just one of those things where it's like, how
how do you perceive that editorially is overlapping? Like this
warmonger arms dealer and it's like, oh, I don't know,
I hang out at the same parties as that person,
Like that's the first vagina candles.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
And then let's talk to how your drones work? What
the fuck?

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Andreil has worked with Open Ai on AI powered drones,
so and they're now pushing to some more military equipment
to Israel, where Gwyneth has been shilling for luxury penthouses
as previously mentioned, So.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
It's full circle.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
I do think she is like on a tier in
terms of like people who are so famous, they like
I would just love to see them interviewed in a
prepared way so that you could just see, like how
out of touch with reality they are. Right ze way
z way z the way it would be yeah, gives

(30:10):
z ways.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
But if you would be an iconic guest, you.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
Would be truly like it would be one of the best.
It would be like the Frost Nickson of the Internet.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Yeah, Like my favorite version of that is the the
way Trump goes on a reverie every time he has
to use the word groceries because he's clearly like never bought,
like seeing someone paying for groceries in his life, so
he's just like groceries, it's an old fashioned word. It
means for the store.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
Yeah, he's having to riff. Yeah, like I don't know, Uh.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
He does it constantly. It's like stuck in his brain,
grow in there. It's so.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Papas why does this why does this reference always come up?
But it's like, how much could a been Henna cost Michael?

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, because that's.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
It's just the fun.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
It's yeah, we're living in complete, two completely separate realities. Yeah.
There is a great like social post from her back
when she was trying to pretend to be normal, and
she was like, guys, look at what like one week
of Snap Benefits buys you. And it was like it
was like forty dollars tortilla chips, like six lines, like

(31:24):
it was like Arawhan groceries, and it was just for her.
She was like, I'm trying to like live off of
what the Snap Benefits that an actual poor person would
have to like try and live off of. And look
at the groceries that I have for the whole week,
and she was like so bad. It was just it

(31:46):
was like just the ingredients for fresh guacam on.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
I can only get one twenty six dollars be pall
and smoothie terrible.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, She's like, my lime, I thought this was just
my line budget. This the whole thing. She's like, oh wow.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
You hear some story is about her kind of what
she's like in meetings, just floating floating around in Los Angeles.
Interesting stuff.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
That's where she's the human equivalent of white linen pants derogatory.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
She I mean like when people came out with when
when nepo baby became a term, I feel like it
was a thing that we mostly used against like actors
and comedians and stuff, and it's like, no, like the
main thing that you want neo babies to do is act,
Like that's what That's good enough. Nepo babies are good
at acting. Well, it's the other stuff that we don't

(32:42):
that's right.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Get them out of the food supply, like put them,
put them in there on a theater, on a screen,
so like they do not influence anything like politics. Fucking
AI evil, Like.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
I'm so good at acting, maybe I should be put
in charge of the world.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
I mean that's yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
People have had that thought, and sometimes it actually happens.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
It's like we can't let actors just then think like, oh, well,
this world is equivalent to the other world, because like
people will also go along with it. Fucking Ronald Reagan,
like Arnold Schwartz, like all these people Trump like it's
all the same thing where you think that would be ridiculous,
and then people are like, no, we love it.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
Donald Trump loves to protect Yes, from home alone to
his work. Yeah, top Notchen, that.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
One line or whatever was really potent.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Grand Theft Auto six. I feel like Grand Theft Auto
six is a hurricane that is just like off coast,
just about to hit, you know, like it's just going
to Like the news stories are we're getting the first
drops of rain, and so Grand Theft.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
A story that just hit.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
That is very dystopian in is that a US Army
unit in Georgia is offering active duty soldiers a four
day pass to play Grand Theft Auto six when it's
released this fall, in exchange for re enlisting in the military.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Fair trade.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
I think you know what, go off King, Yeah, they
should get special privileges.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
You know that's right. In the world of Grand Theft
Auto six, it's so dystopian.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
It's like giving when they like tell Russians to enlist
in their military and like that their wives or whatever
are going to get a bonus, and then they straight
up never do right.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
Yeah, does seem that would be wild If they actually
don't even give them the four day pass, They're like, sorry, guys,
the demand was just too much anyways. So that's depressing,
did you guys? Watch the dirt bike chase. I saw
a little bit of it.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
I saw I like that someone left gas for him
or something.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Yes, so there's a guy out running the police for
like a whole afternoon on a dirt bike, and because
this is Los Angeles, he was being trailed by like
three different varieties of helicopter. It was like the the news,
the police.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Got to the skies, they're just ab testing helicopters up there. Uh,
and yeah, it was just.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
It was like I think it was in the in
the same way that the subgenre of Groundhog Day movies
is fun because it like allows you to think of,
like what if my reality was a video game? And
like I feel this, I feel like this was appealing
for the same reason. It was just like how long
can you outrun the police? Like what how would you

(35:53):
how would you keep it going? And the one way
is to have your friends hide gas canisters around this
He's on the phone the whole time, like he's just
out running the police. While on the phone, he's like
calling and texting. He eventually called ABC seven's own photographer
as they were filming him live. And it's it's also

(36:16):
a great advertisement for like why this version of policing
is so bad because like he the thing he was
wanted for was like having an unlicensed gun, and they,
by chasing him were like putting thousands and thousands of
people in danger.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
People. Yeah, I mean, do you think he was using
his hands to call or was he doing like he's
like rushing down the street on his dirt bike being
like Harry Hey, Siri, Hey Siri. No Ah, damn it.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
Yeah, he's like called Jack O'Brien. He's like calling Jill Stein.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
He's like what No.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
But I do think that that's how you know you
have Wright dies. Okay, motherfucker's coming out here to hide
gas for you.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
You know, that was pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
I know both of us would do that for Miles. Yeah, Vince,
I don't know your life.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
But I've I've actually like hid a series of gas
cans between here and Costa Rica, just in case, in
case you flee for some.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Reason, in case it gets too RESTful in Paradise.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Yeah, trying to get those into the Dairien Gap was tough,
but yeah, it was worth it for him.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
I bury gasoline all over the city. Just bury it.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Loose boys, boys, both of you have huge gasoline cans.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
That's why I bury it. I don't want anybody, you know.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
Let's uh, let's take a quick break. We'll be back.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
We'll talk about the latest hit movie in China. China.
It is pretty pretty ridiculous. It's a ridiculous film that
makes me admire China. Who will be right back, and

(38:20):
we're back, And first I want to talk about turtles. Guys.
Scientists have been asking the same question anyone who's ever
gotten too high and thought about a turtle has asked,
which is, wait, what the fuck is that thing? Why?
Why is that a thing? That shell is like? The

(38:44):
shell is like I think at a certain point when
I was a kid, I thought the shell was like
something they found. But the shell is made of their ribs. Basically,
like pulled their rib cage out of their body and
turned it into a little house to hide in.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
You never heard of outdoor ribs, That's.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
What they did.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
They made outdoor ribs outboard.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
Yeah, they're outboard.

Speaker 3 (39:05):
Ribs outboard, Yeah exactly. But anyways, I think they're fucking weird,
and scientists are We're confused. Apparently they've been long having
trouble figuring out like what turtles are because they're so
different from everything else around them, like other girls.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
And it turns out they're closer evolutionarily to birds than
most than too, like snakes and other lizards. They're like
a weird evolutionary anomaly.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Is that just the thing? Whenever they look into something like, yeah,
actually it's a bird, it turns out I don't think
everything's a bird man. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
They just got one guy who only studies birds, and
he's like, there's a lot of bird vibes from them.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
Yeah, I don't think everything's a bird smith.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
Call me crazy.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
That's a bird, that's a bird. Turtles, that's a burb jack.
That's a bird jack. That's a burb.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
I mean, could be never know. I'm a I'm a
big bird bird call fan.

Speaker 1 (40:17):
So oh my my finest achievement. You know, the Merlin
bird app.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
I love the Merlin bird aph.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
Yeah. I feel like once you hit like thirty seven,
it's like.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
You guys actually so much older.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
Than I thought. My wife was using the bird app
to like figure out what birds were around, and I
made my hawk sound that I'm really good at making,
and the Merlin apps showed up as a hawk, and
I feel like, that's one of my proudest achievements. Coopers. Yeah,
it's fooling the fooling shoulder. I can't remember if it
was a red tailor Coopers, it was one of the two.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Oh yeah, are you guys gonna start playing golf right now?
Because I feel like that's what's about to happen. Sorry,
do it again.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
I was golf forever.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
That's Truely, that is good.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
That's really good because I would have thought that was
a real bird.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
Yeah, you and Merlin have both.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
Yeah, wait, why is it called Merlin.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
Because it's fucking magic.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
He was always spot in birds in between doing the
magic stuff. It was like the other thing that he
did that he was done for.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
Yeah. I was like, I didn't know. He was like
a big event Avian like hero. I've never heard of
Merlin being associated with birds, But what do I know?

Speaker 1 (41:30):
I think?

Speaker 3 (41:30):
So, you know how shizam like you you would if
you were just like naming that normally you'd be like
music namer, song song caller. But they were like they
knew what they had. They were like, this thing is
like magic, it's crazy, and so they were like we're
gonna e Sam.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
It's like say when the song shows up, like kind
of that makes sense, I'd be like not, or I
will start doing this now.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Caudab bird, yes exactly, but I do sometimes a similar thing.
It's sad bird, yes, aird caadat bird.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
How are we just giving these away for free? Merlin
called vincent jack, because these are great ideas?

Speaker 3 (42:23):
That's crazy to Can you name any bird calls? Just
like have you figured it out? I go in my
backyard and meditate and keep the merlin on, and then
I try and like figure out which birds I'm hearing
before I open my eyes. And I've gotten pretty I've
gotten pretty decent. I know a lesser goldfinch from a
bwicks wrent.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
You know, yeah, a fucking butterscotch candy and that cardigan Grandpa.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
To give her a worders send her on our way.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
No, go ahead, Vince, Sorry, you go ahead.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
No. I was just saying, like, I have owls that
took up roost in my backyard tree and owls. Owls
are cool. There are a couple of great horned owls,
and you can tell when an owl is nearby because
all of the other birds in the area are going
absolutely ape shit like other birds hate owls so like
they kill them.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
I found out that great horns don't actually know how
to make nests. They just find other birds nests and
steal them, which I think is probably part of the
other birds hating them. Yeah, if you can. If you
hear mocking birds or jay's going crazy, it's usually because
oh the owls nearby.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
Yeah, have you seen them? Do the headchurn like in
real life? Is it incredible?

Speaker 1 (43:40):
In real life it's incredible. I would say the head
turn is incredible, But almost even better is the blinking
because they have those like big old eyelids that kind
of like work separately. Like, what was that toy like
a Teddy Rucks?

Speaker 3 (43:52):
No?

Speaker 1 (43:53):
What there was like an owl toy that had like
crazy eyelids. Yes, maybe it's a furby. They look just
like it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
Yeah, how slow or how frequently do they Blinkbies and
owls both look like shit when you take the fur
away in a similar way, How many owls have you defferred?

Speaker 3 (44:14):
It's uh, you don't know. I'm a freak like that,
but yeah, I've noticed crows also, Like when when crows
are around, the other birds are usually like fuck no, no,
they're either not. They either leave or they're freaking out.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Here goes, there goes the neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
Mm hmm man, wow racist much.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
Yeah, they're fucked up.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
I have a murder of crows in my neighborhood that's
really awesome, and they had a lot of babies, and
like the fledglings this year were like kind of the
goofiest i've seen fledglings be. They're just like real bad
at being birds because they're new and they're weird and fluffy.
You see, they're weird little fluff feathers fall off. You
see them like tumble off roofs. They're just being so stupid.

(45:00):
They're so cute.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
They are usually so self possessed.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
Have you watching fledglings is so funny, like so new.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
Stupid ass crow one opportunity to.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
To like clown on. Have you ever seen a crow
sunning itself? Oh yeah, it's like the cutest thing I've
ever seen because sometimes they just open their beak and
they're just like, you can't.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
See she's got her mouth open.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Yeah, thanks guys.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
Yeah, I need to give people visual aids. Vince, did
you see obsession? I did?

Speaker 3 (45:38):
Yeah, did you understand the obsession of American filmgoers.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
So yeah, Ish, I was like, yeah, that's pretty good.

Speaker 3 (45:49):
Well, over in China they're having their own kind of
minor obsession thing, except on a smaller scale, both the
budget of the movie that every buddy's into and how
big it is. But I do I think this ties
into an overall trend that we're seeing. So it's a
movie that translates to that cow is coming. You lie,

(46:13):
it's not spelled that way, you freaks. But clip so
it was released like for dinner, it's just arriving.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
I think I was thinking of here, come to Cow, Here,
come to Cow.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
I was thinking, like of my dinner with Andre the Cow.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
So came out barely made one thousand dollars in its
first ten days. Clips of the movie started going viral
on social media because it looks like a Nintendo sixty
four game, but like with more awkward pauses. Is it
like if a n Intendo sixty four game was acted
by an elementary school like play like dramatic production. And

(46:59):
it's gone viral and now it's like pulling in bank
in China. It's became a cult phenomenon and people are
saying it held its own in the Chinese box office
against The Odyssey and Spider Man Brand New Day, which
is a little holy shit.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
I mean it's made.

Speaker 3 (47:16):
Eleven point four million yawn, which you on?

Speaker 1 (47:20):
I think you on?

Speaker 3 (47:21):
Let's go with you on, yeah, and which is impressive
because the movie didn't even have a poster. They were
just like asked theater owners to hand to draw their
own artwork.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
And dude, it's a vibes based enterprise. I really like it.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
That was what that's what they used to do in Ghana.
And now those posters are like, oh, there's so so much.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
Money, right, got to turn it into capitalists.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
Yeah. This so it was directed by an interior designer
with no formal film background who spent five years animating
the movie on secondhand computers. His only collaborator was his mom,
who taught herself screenwriting for the project, voiced all the
female characters, and even sang the theme song. It does feel
like it's there the room, but it's like a little

(48:08):
bit more wholesome. The whole thing costs between forty seven
dollars to two hundred dollars to make.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
As of Tuesday, it's made one point two million dollars.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
This is a wide range. You're like, well, it depends
if you count lunch on Tuesday exactly.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
But the fact that it's a project that the person
did with their mom is actually super sweet and precious,
and I like.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
Apparently like knew somebody at a film distribution company who
was like willing to do it. But I think like
people are speculating that it's in the age of AI.
People are like to find something that is just genuinely
and authentically bad and fucked up right and like made
by people.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
Has a human touch in it. It's like, yeah, like
college students now like having to put typos into their
essays so that they can fool us into thinking it
wasn't just a prompt from chat GPT.

Speaker 3 (49:03):
Yeah. Yeah, Like Chris Crofting came on our show recently
and was talking about how he was obsessed with finding
coffee review YouTube videos with under three hundred views from
like ten years ago, and they're really like they're very
compelling to like go back and watch these things that
are like unspoiled and authentically weird at a time when

(49:28):
most of what we see in any capacity, because like
it's not just like you know, it used to be
a thing where it's like you go to the movies
and you see this packaged entertainment product or you know,
you watch TV and you see these like packaged ads.
But like now it's like people live inside their phone
and everything that reaches you as the result of like

(49:49):
thousands of levels of like similarly educated people using the
same algorithms to create something that like, you know, feels unique,
but is terrified at every level of being unique, and
you know.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
And is engineered to fucking deaf.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
Yes, yeah, yeah, just like the restaurant yeah, the restaurant
AI poster trend.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
Yes, yeah, exactly. So I don't know, it's just I
like it. I also like to look at China every
once in a while and like see what they got
going on over there. Yeah, they're pretty interesting. They're kind
of the main country.

Speaker 1 (50:30):
Now.

Speaker 3 (50:31):
There was just this chart that came out of like
favorability of the United States and China in other countries,
and it just is a complete reversal at this point. Yeah,
but it was like from twenty twenty three to today.
It's I was actually shocked how popular the US was

(50:52):
at the beginning of some of these charts in twenty
twenty three, but it's been a complete like just uh yeah,
the the US went from like forty five percent favorability
to like twelve, and you know, China's gone up and
up and up.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
We're really good at lowering expectations though, like this is
just like we're setting ourselves up for like a face
turned by underdog story. Yeaheah exactly. I feel like, so
you said this was an interior designer and her mom like,
are we sure this wasn't like like because I've heard
that this movie like leaked out of a lab and
it was, and that was oh my god, there was

(51:30):
actually a filmmaking lab like supported by the CIA over
in China. And then this was one of the movies
that we will.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
Say perhaps located in Hunan.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
Yeah, he'll say. State owned Beijing News has been trashing
this movie and being like it's lowering the bar to
move for movie quality, so making us look bad. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
It's allowing too much access into the medium, which is
wild to say in a country build on like communism.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
Not the best, not the best access, no, but.

Speaker 2 (52:06):
Just just just funny to be like no communism, it's equal,
you have nothing. And then they're like, we made something
out of nothing. They're like, not like.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
That, yeah, don't do that, not like.

Speaker 3 (52:15):
No no, no, no, no no no no no. Earlier this year,
State Media Company CMG produced China's first AI generated animated film,
The Reunion Journey, which critics say answered the question what
if picks our eight dream works, vomit and then vomit
it again. Okay, so they have a it's a good
reminder that corporations can't engineer beloved bad movies necessarily.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Only people like Tommy was so cang.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
And then like when they try to do it, you know,
like they are the Morbius thing where they like put
it out first, is like, look at this good movie,
and then people are like this movie is actually hilariously bad.
And they were like, okay, we're putting it out this time,
and we're in on the joke, and everyone like, fuck, yeah,
it's not funny anymore. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's kind of funny.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
Like the uh, the Ashton Coucher Steve Jobs movie was
kind of like that. Like the guy who who underwrote
the whole thing was like a guy who was known
for I think, uh, distributing like real estate textbooks or something.
Very strange and not related to movies at all, And
I forget the story behind how he got the I

(53:27):
don't maybe he didn't have to have the rights to
a Steve Jobs movie because it's just like his life,
and so he did, like, yeah, just did the the
the Jackie Trump Jump version of the Steve Jobs movie.

Speaker 3 (53:40):
It's actually they never refer to him as Steve Jobs.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
It's Stephen Job, Stephen Job, Stephen Jobs, Stephen Jers, step
On jerb Stefan.

Speaker 3 (53:53):
Your Apple's computer's phone is so good.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
You're you're arrange your Orange music player is amazing.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
I do want to say when I finally did watch
that movie, because I had no intention of ever, I
was like, this is a really long movie to tell
you he was like just the bad dad. And I
don't understand why we spent so long getting to that,
Like it just was not worth anything.

Speaker 3 (54:20):
But yeah, there's we did a Steve Jobs Icons episode
and it's like the the main thing in both that
Ashton Kutcher one and the What Aaron Sorkham one is
like guy was a fucked up dad. He's a genius,
but he was a bad dad. And it's like there's
so many interesting ways. He was like a fucked up

(54:42):
person beyond just like his relationship with this kid.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
But I think people men don't know how to give
anybody humanity, and they're like, well, maybe they like him
more if he's a shit dad.

Speaker 1 (54:53):
I'm like, yeah, and a bad one.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
I will just say the hash dad, ship girl dad.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
Bad girl dad.

Speaker 3 (55:04):
He Steve Jobs would drive around without a license plate
and just be like, yeah, fuck it, you can give
me a ticket. I'm Steve Jobs. And then would also
always like as a rule, always park in handicap spaces.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
Wow, I'm wow. This is the thing that I do.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
That's choice. Bruh.

Speaker 3 (55:26):
Yeah, I'm a genius. What can I say?

Speaker 1 (55:29):
Yeah, I say some Instagram post where it was it
was about mister Wonderful, Uh, that bald guy from Shark Tank.

Speaker 3 (55:40):
Yeah. See I do it to Irish people too, Evinced.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
That's right. Everybody gets it. Yeah. Yeah, they're invited to
the potato boil.

Speaker 3 (55:49):

Speaker 1 (55:57):
Was up? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (55:59):

Speaker 1 (55:59):
He was like on a podcast, I guess, and he
was talking about like, oh, the things I it was
like one of those business podcasts, the things that I
learned from Steve Jobs. And it was like he would
email me at three am and expect a response within
the next ten minutes, and and he taught me so much.
And I was like, what did he teach you? He
just seems like an asshole.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
Yeah, did he teach you how not to do that?

Speaker 3 (56:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (56:22):
Because that's what I got.

want to have a good time, you can always watch
the highlights from his appearance on Celebrity Jeopardy because it's
up there with Wolf Blitzer as a he usually can't

(56:46):
much from those Celebrity Jeopardy things, but those two are really,
you know, next level not knowing shit.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
