held it the funk down. Oh yeah, because a lot
a lot of people talk about her as a drummer.
I was always a fan. Yeah. Well, I think a

(02:07):
lot of people point to the fact that there's not
a lot of syncopation happening between the high hat and
the kick drum, and that's you know, that's how you
get a little you know, syncopation gets a little funk.
But the way they play, you didn't need Yeah on

Looking forward to like dressing up and look and kill

Los Angeles and December. It's a beautiful timing year. It's
a shame black movie. Well, Katie, we're going to get
to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're gonna take our listeners through a few of the
things we're talking about today. CBS is going to reboot

(03:39):
Clueless as a TV show, which it apparently already was
at one point on the up n which I didn't remember.
I don't know, I don't know what to do about
that information. We're gonna look at the Bernie Blindness subreddit
and just the condition of Bernie blindness and the mainstream media.
We're gonna just do a quick check in with the

(04:00):
whistleblower story. Um, where Rudy is getting his information from
is what we're gonna look at. We're gonna look at
the latest appointee by Donald Trump. He has appointed somebody
to the Commission of Presidential Scholars And finally it's a
it's someone who knows what they're doing. Yeah, yeah, finally

(04:20):
an appointee that deserves the job. Uh. And we're gonna
ask the question where the good ones weren't there supposed
to be some good ones who were like, where have
all the cowboys gone? All the good ones gone? Uh?
We're gonna look at what's going on with that millennial lifestyle,
the urban millennial lifestyle. Uh, and just what is it?

(04:44):
What's up with these kids these days? And there is
another reboot coming out that I'm this is the most intrigued,
like slash baffled, I've ever been by a movie description.
In the early stages the movie, Uh, Mattel has some
has some new joints coming out of the Mattel cinematic

(05:08):
universe that are interesting, intriguing, confusing. We're going to talk
about that. But first, Katie, we like task our guests,
what is something from your search history that's revealing about
who you are? All Right, this one's a little embarrassing.
I've got this tiny terrier dog. It's like ten pounds wet,
and he's got a little a mohawk situation going with

(05:28):
his hair, and I really want to get him like
a little leather vest, a little leather harness, a little
biker baby. Yeah, a little leather daddy. I would settle
for like a cool jeane jacket situation. But like I
think leather is really gonna it's gonna be perfect for him.
If night gang out there, if your leather gang to

(05:49):
let us know where's the like bespoke, Like are we
talking like harnesses? Like would love well, I mean I
would love the actual sense of the word harness so
that I could clip his leash to it, right you ol?
But yeah, and there has there has to be something
like that. There were someone Amazon. I don't really want
to support Amazon, and they're kind of corny and stupid.
I don't need that. I need something that's kind of
tough because I feel like also though, if your dogs

(06:12):
that small, the harness would be too heavy, like leather
and metal. Please, he's muscular, he can held it, so yeah,
please please send me recommendations for a little leather baby
harness like like so you'd be fine with a biker
jacket in vest, something like black leather with black leather,
absolutely if it's got some chrome yet some like studs

(06:33):
all about it. Unfortunately, you are in the one city
in America where you'll just have no luck finding anything
like that. I have several little dog stores and I
haven't seen anything yet, but I know it's out there.
I know it exists. Yeah, what's that one leather bar
um by Sunset Junction. Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, like

(06:58):
around there, we'll hook you up with some that is
I live right by there. That is such a good suggestion.
I'm going to go there today. Just I'm sure the
bar tend to be Like, there's actually a bespoke stuff
forces for dogs. Check it out. Yeah. I wandered in
there on a date once and it was very surprising
that that scene in Police Academy, that acring bit. They

(07:22):
were like, man, this is too good, over and over again.
I love that song so much. It's called El Bimbo. Yeah,
that's incredible. Well, as I did every time, I was like,
this was my favorite part of Police Academy because I
just thought where they would just start dancing with the
ship and the music it's funny in Japan low two,

(07:43):
like they use that melody like in game shows for Yeah.
So I would always kind of keep hearing and I'm like,
where did this come from? And then years ago I
was like, it's from Police Academy. You know the song.
I'm gonna blast it as I'm driving to the leather Ball.
It's it's power music. Yeah, now do leather bar is
often have like a spotlight that just hits you the

(08:03):
second room. And then I have a feeling that maybe
a bit of hyperbole, maybe what is something you think
is overrated? You know what, guys, I'm gonna go with
spicy food or you're extra spicy. Miles just rolled his eyes.
I'm not saying that you can't have a little bit
of kick to it, but you're salces that are crazy
burning your tongue. I don't need that. I don't need

(08:24):
my my food experience to be unpleasant. I don't need
it to give me indigestion. Also, that's not bringing out
the flavor profile for me anyway. That's true. There is
a fine line right between spice and my tongue is
I do not mind a little heat. But but if
you're burning my tongue and taking away the flavor of
everything else, then you can you can keep it. So
I don't want it. I just live for the burn, though,

(08:45):
you live for the burn feeling it. You're telling you
what they say spicy in spicy out. Yeah, I don't
really don't unless you eat bananas. Before a little chick
I learned, so I got to eat a banana before
I eat my meal, I did a YouTube video. You
don't do that already, I know I did it on YouTube,
this video or I ate like, at the time, what
was the hottest pepper on the planet the Carolina? I know,

(09:07):
the maruga scorpion chili? Right, what do you get out
of that? I'm with Katie on this one. You know,
I wanted to know because growing up I love spicy food.
My grandfather had a barbecue restaurant, and like, he would
always make batches of spicy stuff, and as a kid,
you wanted to be like, I can be like Grandpa,
and I would eat like the adult level spice. And
I remember people were panicking in my family get that

(09:29):
away from him and I ate it, and they were like,
he's the chosen child. It's become wrapped up in my identity.
I don't. I mean, truth be told. I don't eat
spicy food every like blindingly spicy food that often, but
I enjoy it from time to time. But when I
was eating it, I knew the rule spicy and spicy
out and if I was like, if I'm about to
eat the hottest pepper on earth, the outward part was

(09:51):
a concern. So I went on a message board for
competitive eaters. Would you like spicy food challenges? Who eat
like really gnarly? They're like, get that base of banhanas
in your stomach first and that helps neutralize caps. And
I hear you, I know, and it's a lot, it's
a lot. Why do that to yourself? Yeah, you know,
you know, why does why does that one guy free

(10:11):
climb without any like harnesses? You know, we just don't know,
we don't know better. Yeah, you are kind of the
free solo of diners. Thank you, thank you. Um yeah,
I do agree that. Like I like some spice, but
I like I prefer a nice medium sauce. I don't
need the hot salsa that's gonna because it also like
distracts from the flavor sometimes, Like I like a nice balance. Hey,

(10:34):
look I get it. You know that's uh, that's this
is very white. I get Hey, I like a nice
medium and it's not a knock. I like a nice
Mayo spicier than mayo, A nice light mango salsa shirt.
Yeah like that. You go to a restaurant and they

(10:55):
like they put tabasca on the table. What are you
trying to kill me? Who whoa whoa? Um? The oh.
The banana tree is also something they tell people to
do for I remember this from an old Sports Illustrated article.
Somebody went up in the vomit comment the like zero
gravity thing, and they tell you to eat bananas before

(11:18):
because it settles your stomach. And they also taste the
same coming up as they do going down, so it
doesn't like oh so it's mostly because like man, that
really ruined bananas if it tastes the same coming up,
I have like a slight allergy to bananas, not like
in a bad way. I just want to eat him,
like my throatle it's a little bit. You've really got

(11:39):
a problem when you're spicy eating there. Yeah, well I
don't eat everything else I can handle, like hot Thai
food or whatever food when next level, especially when you
go Yo go to the North Hollywood where the Thai
restaurants are at, and the hot there or some restaurant
will be like you want thaie hot, that's right, that's
the question. Mar Yes, yes, my wife spent like a

(12:02):
couple of months in Thailand and like she likes the
food like tie hot, and like we'll sit down and
she'll be like, no, he doesn't want it, like actually
like he wants it like you know, a white person s.
I just don't want my lip to sweat. Right. People
love their spicy food. Yes, yeah, that's the one thing.

(12:22):
I wish Japanese food have more spices in it. But
you know, teach their own. Yeah. Um. What is something
you think is underrated? Surprise you guys right now? Uh? Windows? Windows? Windows?
What's something that we go through our life taking for
granted every goddamn day? The windows, building, the windows and buildings,

(12:45):
the windows in your car? Can you imagine drying the windows?
We never imagine driving with the windows. This is a
great question. I cannot. Katie, and we were sitting in
here in darkness. Do you think we'd have the energy? No,
we would not. Maybe sleepy like birds, right that the
birds get sleepy. Put the cat. That's how I put

(13:11):
my dog to sleep when I want him to contwn
do with our kids. I put him in a parakeet
cage and I put a towel over it. I told
you he's very small. Yeah, underappreciated, underappreciated. We walk through
life and we never stop and say thank you. Windows.
Is it that can be broaden out a little bit?
Is it about transparency. Sure, it can be about transparency. Absolutely, window, Absolutely,

(13:35):
there's nothing opaque. There's nothing deceptive about a window. And
then this time of deception, and I think that we
need to stop and take stock. Did you have a
sort of light bulb moment with the window? You're like,
I'm sorry, Windows, I have been taking you for granted. Yeah,
yesterday when I was thinking about what to talk about,
so you were trying to complete this that's you were driving.

(13:59):
Can we pull up that clip from two thousand six
from Katie's old YouTube channel, Windows Listen, we all evolved.
We can't hold me to pass kat right, And so
you do stand by those comments or no, you've moved
on since I've stand I've moved on since the Okay, great,
So we don't have to play the clip. No, we
don't have to. I apologize for my previous derogatory comments. Windows, right,

(14:21):
what do you think about a nice stained glass? I
was just about to say that that's a lovely I
wouldn't want all my windows to be stained glass, like
a point, but a room where you're like meditating to
controversial take. Not all windows should be stained glass, one,
not all windows, but some there's room for all types
of windows in my world, right right, Yeah, to go

(14:41):
along with that point, I really, to me, I feel
like the most luxurious thing you could have our floor
to ceiling windows. Oh absolutely. I don't know why, because
I guess because you're you're banking a lot on those windows.
I'm not really being able to protect you. But look,
they're going to bring in all the light. I want
to I want to be rich enough to have floor
to ceiling windows and then stand naked watching the sunset
or something in front of them, like a real power move.

(15:04):
Although I did, uh it was yeah, and you know,
got arrested. That's fine. Uh. Someone was talking about being
in an earthquake in the nineties some earth and being like,
the only thing that really happened that was scary was
that all the windows shattered, And so there's that they

(15:24):
can turn into. Like yeah, but you know, we we
eat with everything. There's a little bit of Look, even
if even you don't even have to be wealthy, you
get an old shipping container, cut the front end off
and build a floor to ceiling window. There, boom, we've
got floor to ceiling windows. You've made it. Yeah, it
sounds a very reasonable thing to do even if windows break,

(15:44):
they're still windows. Ship I was like, I think shipping
container structures are kind of cool. I hear there's like
have you seen that one that's like a bunch of
them stacked on top of each other. Probably it's like
of like cool, well, cool windows. I was going to
say that Roman from Succession ruined floor to ceiling windows.
Oh yeah, I just started watching it. You'll find out,

(16:08):
you'll see okay, uh in a way? He loved it. Yeah, yeah, anyway,
to each their own. What is what's a myth? What's
something people think? I can't remember if I said this
last time, but well, cracking your knuckles does not cause arthritis.
I think you did, and I think it needs to
be reiterated, telling me that, how do you crack your

(16:29):
n I just cracked them? Actually, Oh damn, that felt good,
is what it was like. I feel like I have
to go to a point where my hands will break. Yeah,
that's why I don't crack my knuckles. I'm like, because
did so casually. I remember as a kid, like one
of my friends would always crack his knuckles. I'm like,

(16:50):
I can do that. And I tried to get my
point at which my knuckle cracked on the one that
you're doing now where you like smash it like a
fist that scares me. That feels like you can do
so you could just dis join something. But the general
like folded hands thing, I couldn't do it. Cody taught
me how to do it, and now it's something that
the rest of my life I worked on it. Knuckle

(17:10):
cracking lessons from Cody. Then nice, It should be noted
Katie's knuckles are giants swollen, but they're not. But they
are not arthritic. You have perfectly normal looking hands. I've
always had old lady hands. And then finally your fade
ors fucking fists. Wow, I would not I would not
want to write hook from you or left or they're

(17:32):
very Yeah, they're bony. That's that. Isn't that a thing
like parents would always say. Remember a babysitter told me
that when I was younger, and I thought it my
whole life. I think recently fucked up things adults told us.
It's as kids that could have fucked our whole perception
of How often do you get people saying the same
myth um, it's not. It's pretty common for people who

(17:55):
come back and I was like, I can't remember if
I think the more free thing is repeated over underrated.
I think they're like a stretch run where like three
people will know, but not if it's the same person,
the same guest doing like did I do this overrated before?
I was talking about like say tomorrow's guest comes in
with the same Typically social media is the most common overrated.

(18:17):
I think there a lot of yeah, okay, but I
mean that's part of the conceit of this show is
that there is a zeke geist out there. There is
a collective unconscious, so we're all pulling from the from
the same mind cloud. Uh. Let's talk about Clueless is

(18:39):
a classic classic. But Amy Heckerling film Cannon and Fucking
I think it's great. I loved it and it used
to be Um, I should be able to say Donald
fazons lines from memory. Um. And it's funny that he
was like Murray was a role model in a weird,
sad way. I was like, oh, look at this kind
of light skin dude on in the movie screens Um,

(19:01):
And now, okay, there was I don't know if you
do you remember the clueless TV show that happened like
in the Late Night. I had Stacy Dash, it had
the actress that played Amber. The only person that wasn't
there was Alicia Silverstone was another actress. It had like
one season on ABC two on up N I clearely
have seen it too much? Can you paint a picture
of what the new Clueless will be for me? Using

(19:23):
other culture touch stuff? Okay, so everyone's first thought is, well,
do we really need this version of Clueless? And we're
past this? Well, now this new version, as they say,
the new Clueless Mean Girls meets Riverdale meets a Listo
music video also is set in high school. It is

(19:43):
described as a baby, pink and bisexual, blue tinted tiny sunglasses,
wearing old milk, latte and adderall fueled. Look at what
happens when the high school queen be Share disappears in
her lifelong number two deon steps and the Shares vacant.
Air Jordan's disappears. Also, Share would never wear Jordans, Absolutely not.
I mean, I guess maybe unless she's like really now yeah,
like maybe youdern cool girls wear Air Jordan's. If you're

(20:06):
I guess if you if you dress a specific way,
like if you're if you're a sneaker head. You might
have a pair of Royals, you know, you might have
a pair of Bread's bread Ones. Kid, he doesn't think
I'm a cool girl. That's you're a cool guy. You're
a cool guy who's trying their best, and you obviously
haven't been in high school for a long time, which

(20:28):
is a good thing. Yeah, But then it says, how
does how does Dion deal with the pressures of being
the new most popular girl in school while also unraveling
the mystery of what happened to her best like disappear, Disappear,
it's a mystery like share Horowitz went Ghost, She've at
moose and like the cops aren't on it on high

(20:53):
school crimes high schoolers exactly. Also in these shows, high
school teachers somehow get to have sex with this students
without any consequences. All these shows are always like that.
Like in river I touched on this all the time.
The one time I saw Riverdale, a teacher had sex
with a student and like the parents were like, you
need to get out of town, and I was like,
that's the no, you need to get to jail. Wait,

(21:16):
I'm sorry, what that's just a disturbing message. We're getting
out there. Girls are a lot of girls. Are sure
boys do in love with their young teachers? Riverdale was
a woman. The teacher was a female teacher with a
male student. Yeah, let's not put that out there that Yeah, yeah,
teachers and student love affairs are chill at worst you

(21:37):
get out of town. Did they happen at you guys school?
Come on, Jack, I was in love with my like,
I don't think that there was any actual well really
he he hooked up with a student who had just graduated.
There was like that that were like the second they

(21:59):
were eighteen and a student. Yeah, there were, there was
some ship and then they got they got their asses
kicked the funk out. I had a very old teacher, uh, lovely,
wonderful teacher, one of my favorite teachers. I didn't realize
until later he did marry one of his students. After sure,
I don't know how, but what was the age difference?
A big age difference. And then this is the weird part.

(22:22):
They had a kid and named after me. Are you
telling that story? Are you? Like? Like they reached out
and they said we want to name reach out, like
they named their kid Katie. I'm sure they named the
kid they named Katie Stole and I'm not going to
say his last name, but he told my dad too,

(22:45):
you see this one named after your weird weird weird
we're kind of like buddies. Now, yeah, I'm not really
it was so common, like I went to two separate
high schools. Yeah, it happened. I mean that's you can't
just count how the society was moving at that time
where it was just and even now it's not that
long ago, but yeah, yeah, that it's just sort of

(23:07):
like no matter where you go, there are lecherous men. Yeah,
who are out there? And when yeah, absolutely well ship anyways,
clueless reboot I'm in. Actually, when they say the Lisa
music video sounded like too cynical, like it was, I
could just like picture the dude in Hollywood like pitching

(23:28):
that and just being like, but now I'm on board
that there's a murder mystery. I wonder if what they're
saying with their the whole when they say it is
described as a baby, pink and bisexual, blue tinted tiny single,
like that whole thing is it you think going to
have kind of a euphoria aesthetic to it? Is that
is out there going to get at like if they're
doing it, but like a lighter version of it, a

(23:51):
network version of it. Uh, well this is describing does
not feel like Clueless? Yeah, I guess it's like and
I understand that they're using they peel of an existing
property to attract people. Riverdale did not feel like Archie,
right right, But even then it wasn't like Archie Archie
the New Adventures kind of thing, like still was kind

(24:11):
of vague. But where is this one? Like I wonder
are they using Clueless to draw people in? But it's
a show that may have well come out before some
of the people who would be the target arts are
even born. Yeah, So like it's weird, where like if
I was a kid, we're like, yo, Bonanza, who coming on?
I don't I don't think that there's many like teenage
girls that are like watching Clueless. Well that was the

(24:32):
question I had about Riverdale too, is like is that
just to get the foot in the door with the
executive It's just like, this is an existing I P
care about existing I P. So it's like, oh dude,
it's like an Archie reboot but it's gritty, rather than
saying it's an interesting like it's a young adult executives

(24:54):
and the New York Times editors who are like I
remember Archie, because when you look at how to elepment
works now, most of these people are not very creative.
So you have to speak in terms that already exist
because they're not able to ideate originally. So you have
to say it's like this thing you know and this
other thing you know, and they're like great, rather than
maybe describing an entirely new idea like huh, Beverly Hillbillies,

(25:19):
I watched that. That's like breaking Bad. Yeah, I actually
really would watch that. Cook Moves to Beverly Hills, right, Yeah,
that's the striking oil of Yeah, Jed clamp it just
fucking trappid. Yeah. Wow, have you guys seen El Camino?
Uh yeah, I'm almost done. It's weird because it's a

(25:43):
Russian because I just like end up like just I
don't know why I haven't been able to get a
sustained amount of time to watch it all the way through,
but I'm loving I'm almost on. It just really makes
me miss it making it. Yeah, breaking bad, Breaking Bad. Um.
Last thing I was going to say about Clueless is
I don't know CBS doing this. I don't feel like
they're gonna I think I think it may end up

(26:08):
them because I think they own the rights to it. Um,
but I believe it's getting shopped around, all right, so
they could be. But you know, if this feels like
CW real does everything c w's, you know, is that
where were ever along it is? Yeah, that makes sense.
All right, We're gonna take a quick break. We'll be
right back. And we're back and uh, there's a subreddit

(26:41):
that boing boing utline a great sentence. There's a subreddit
that boing boing just welcome to their early but they
brought to my attention that is documenting a thing that
I've noticed quite a bit recently in mainstream media, which
is what they're describing as Bernie blindness. That's the name

(27:02):
of the subreddit, are slash Bernie Bernie blindness. Uh. And
it's just mainstream media sources basically racing Bernie from stories
where he and any other circumstance. If it was another candidate,
he would be the story. So there's a poll that
showed Bernie beating Trump in Iowa, while Warren and Biden

(27:26):
we're both like losing by a couple of percentage points,
and the Hill report on it, Trump holds slim lead
over Warren and Biden in Iowa matchups. And then if
you read, it's like Bernie is beating Trump. Yeah, but
it was like three paragraphs down or yeah, pagraph And
again there's a story about go ahead, what you know.

(27:47):
I'm no, it's more common during this entire thing, but
we should get through the examples. Right. There's a story
in CNN Debate Coach a star emerged from the Democratic
debate and the image below or the video below, it
has like a still image of Pee boodha Jedge on it.
You know, it's like that's the yeah, the image that

(28:08):
represents the video content. So the clear implication is Pete
boodha Jedge is the star, which was the mainstream media's
narrative coming out of the debate. And then you go
to the article and he's like there was only one
person who really jumped off the station. That was Bernie.
He debate coach was like the only person who did

(28:29):
really well was Bernie. You think they're doing a thing
where they ask an expert expecting they're not gonna say Bernie,
and then like a funk. All right, let's pretend it's
something else or just obscure it or they I don't know,
it's just weird like it. It's so hard to wrap
your mind around. I mean, it's not that hard to
wrap your mind around. But whenever I'm like, they're not
doing this on purpose, are they? But they have to

(28:51):
be Yeah, of course, I mean they're just doing it's
the same thing that happened in two thousands sixteen. It's
just they can't their brain doesn't have room for the
reality that we no longer live in the same world
as the one that they've been covering since their career started.
And whomever owns different media companies or who pulling for

(29:15):
somebody not wanting him to be Yeah, the Washington Post
does it a lot, but I bet it's not even explicit.
I bet the editors of the websites and the newspapers
aren't sitting down saying cut the Bernie out of the thing.
I bet it's just they're like, Okay, I like that one,
I like that warrant thing. Okay, I like the Biden thing,

(29:37):
like I like the Biden angle. But they're just like
not like they just get a sense that it's like,
I don't know, this is so disingenuous to me that
I can't help but think it is intentional, because again,
if you look at the policies that he stands for,
it's an existential threat to this billionaire class and these
corporatocracies that are you know, the corporatocracy with people who

(29:57):
work in media hate to be the bad guy. So
I would I would imagine they're not like being like,
cut the Bernie out of the thing. I bet it's
just implied or yet you can tell by the way
stories are getting promote this person is doing well because
they cover Bernie in this way that either way, it's
still intentional. It's really seventh story about how Warren is surging,

(30:19):
Like that's what you hear at that editorial meeting. You're
gonna assume that that's what one more story that I
thought was interesting from the Independent. So he got the
endorsement of the most popular politician in the world in
America at the very least, aoc UH, and it turns
out that's actually bad for him. Yeah, Bernie Sanders is

(30:44):
quote squad endorsements don't point to his campaign strength, they
point to its weakness. In the Independent Women of Color
or supporting it. Getting AOC and her peers on board
so early in the game suggests the Senator needs to
change tactic after stagnation in the polls and concerns for

(31:07):
his health. I mean, I'm more get the point of
not maybe endorsing someone this early on, because you'd hope
that you can get one of Elizabeth or Bernie like
to the actual nomination. But at the same time, that's
their prerogative. And these people, let's be real, they are
more that that's the reality. The future that they want
to see become a reality is the one that that

(31:27):
Bernie is painting for them. Well yeah, and I think
I'm sure AOC and you know, the squad we're like, well,
it's like we can't act like we're not endorsing him,
like he just did. He just had a really great debate,
Like it would be weird to just like keep pretending,
Like but I guess who else is how how many
people have already endorsed one of these people like that?
There's a lot of endorsements, and Warren's actually not doing

(31:50):
well in the endorsement Really, do you know who she's
been endorsed by? I don't Subway Subway, which is five thirty,
has a like collection of them, and it seems like
she's just getting frozen out because Bernie is getting the
left wing endorsements a lot of unions, and nobody who's

(32:10):
like mainstream monoculture is going to endorse her because she
has the same policies as Bernie that are going to
suck them over. So she's just like kind of in
this middle space in terms of endorsements. I don't know,
maybe yeah, maybe these people coming forward to endorse him
because media coverage isn't chatting him fairly, and it's like,

(32:32):
let's give this while he's in the race. I'm going
to throw my support behind him, and you know, if
he doesn't get the nomination, they'll yeah, they'll be like, okay,
then all endorses person, then endorse Trump. Yeah. But the
amount of yeah gymnastics they do to just be like
this is it's very deceptive. And if a lot of
people do just skim headlines. So you would think even

(32:53):
with that Budda Judge thumbnail where we go, oh a
star is born, Okay, I'm going to infer that that
means that Budda Judge is the one who's out of
Bernie got an A and he got to be from
this guy who coaches the National Championship Debate team in
the n C double A. I guess, yeah, I was
actually D two. But oh, were you a college athlete? Yeah?

(33:16):
Yeah I was. I was. I don't know if you've
called mental athletics. Uh. And then they also highlighted a
troll campaign that somebody found on read it, where somebody
keeps posting the same thing. As much as I love
and support Bernie, it's time to give up. There is

(33:37):
no way he is winning and should nor should he
be after having a life threatening heart attack. Well, they
really did just repost that same thing. They were posted
it over and over, and that not even like yeah,
going around on It's just something to keep an eye
out for, because it sounds exactly like how somebody would

(33:59):
formula that the sentiment of, like, dude, I'm saying get
him out because I love him, so don't paint me
as some like fucking care. Yeah, like, the second he
does start getting mainstream attention, I do feel like Russian
trolls and also us like corporate trolls. Yeah, well us

(34:22):
corporate money, we'll start going pretty heavily to you know,
opposition campaigns, unofficial ways of opposing him. All right, let's
look at really quickly, just the whole Ukraine scandal in
the story. You guys have been doing some great coverage
of this story on the Worst Year Ever podcast. Yeah,

(34:47):
some coverage that even got some media. I know that
was exciting. Pretty cool. Yeah, if you guys aren't listening
to Worst Year Ever, you really should be very very good.
You're really you're really he should So before we get
into the this is kind of a minor story, but
I think interesting. It's about somebody just like looked at

(35:07):
who Rudy Tuliani follows and was like, so, what must
his Twitter feed look like? Uh? And it's it's a
lot of like right wing conspiracies and follows who he follows,
So he follows a number of accounts that promote the
q and on conspiracy. Five percent of the accounts that
he follows have explicit q and on references permanently on

(35:29):
their Twitter pages, either in the pin tweets or Twitter
names or bios or header images. Other accounts he follows
suggest Barack Obama's engineering the Trump impeachment process to install
Michelle Obama in the White House. Hillary Clinton plans to
kill off each Democratic presidential candidate so that she can
become president herself. Ruth Bader Ginsberg has been dead. But

(35:53):
there was also something about how this is, this takes
it way back. This is like old school conspira. You
see among Protestant Americans that the pope is secretly taking
over the world, and how far does that one go back?
That goes? I mean that was huge during JFK's run
for the presidentcy Catholic. They were like, he's doing the

(36:15):
bidding of the pope. Who's going to install him? And
then he's going to start doing the Pope's bidding. Pope
shit out here, start doing pope shit. I don't even
know if I would know what that would look like.
I guess it would be like, what's that agenda look like? Like, Oh,
it is clearly the Catholic agenda, because I feel like
they're if you're Protestant, you're also probably pro life. So

(36:37):
what's the I'm curious to note. It's like, Oh, what,
we're gonna not eat meat on Fridays during Lent as
a nation? Is that just Catholics? Or do what do do? Yeah?
During during Catholics and that's so I don't know. Yeah,
that's what I thought of the year, Like Monday Tuesday

(36:58):
is your last day to get your it in. Then
ash lindsay you kick it off. Oh yeah, you know
what I mean. There's also a picture that they have
that somebody tweeted and was like, how did this not
come out when she was running? That shows Ilahan Omar
loading a gun while she's attending terrorism class Somalia training camp.

(37:19):
Exclamation point, exclamation point. It's a photograph from years before
she was born, so not her, so not her. That's
just another yes, cool, cool, cool, incredibly racist. Oh yes,
a woman of color with gun equals terrorists. But then
we have all of our blonde you know Twitter avatars
like Hi, I have a machine gun? Right, No, that's
just American? Yeah, like no, that's just patriot man. Yeah.

(37:41):
I guess this isn't surprising, but it really irritates me.
Like this guy, I mean, he can't believe this ship.
But maybe he does, but he don't think he does.
It's like, I don't know, I think the liar because
when you look at a lot of the stuff that
he's saying, like around the like the Ukraine scandal. It's
like he's been pushing conspiracy right, so in a way

(38:04):
he's drunk or losing his mind. And this is the
getting right. Like we we talked about like media bubbles,
Like it's like five or six separate media bubbles, but
it's everybody is in their own little media but it's
a media foam. There's everybody's got their own individual media foam. Yeah,

(38:26):
so he's been radicalized by the media, film, by his
media fhone, by his little tiny bubble he exists in. Yeah,
you just read enough of it, you start to believe it.
But it is so disconcerting that people that have so
much power or voting this and maybe even not actively
promoting it by legitimizing it, by following it. And you know,

(38:48):
well but when you look at a lot of the
stuff he's even saying about Ukraine, and like this server,
like that's straight off his Twitter feed. You know, a
lot of this ship is straight off his Twitter feed.
Remember that file of evidence that the State Department was
like this is what we had, just a folder with
a bunch of conspiracy theories. And it's like they must
think on some level a that it's true or they
think that because there's a theory there that's enough to

(39:09):
sort of you know, rationalize or legitimize like the suspicions. Yeah,
well what about this though, right? You know what I mean?
What happened to Building seven? Yeah? You know? I mean,
I mean when you have the person at the top
who is who just believes all the conspiracy theories that
he sees them like there's nothing pushing back. It's just like,
why wouldn't his top legal advisor believe that ship? Right?

(39:30):
Top legal? This is only slightly related because it's Q
and on. I had I met my first Q and
honor in real life. It was my lift driver coming
home late at night. I had some drinks, so I
really wasn't in a good shape to like have an
intense conversation to call him out on it. But he
was talking about He's like, have you ever heard of Q?

(39:51):
And I gasped, like he pulled over and I was like,
I was like, I was like, they don't know who
Q is though, right, And he's like, but we do.
And he pulled over and he pulled up a picture
and it was a que the letter Q made up
of tiny pictures, like of different images and he's like,

(40:12):
if you yeah, like I was saying, He's like, and
if you zoom in, you can see right here, and
it was JFK. And I was like, JFK JR JFK
JFK John Fitzgerald Kennedy. And I was like, it's JFK.
I didn't say you did, You're like, because you showed
me a picture, so you do believe it. It was

(40:35):
I'm smacked home. It was wild. And then he dropped
me off. He's like, give me a good review? What'd
you give him? Gave him like Q out of I
don't actually have never seen. I don't know how you
give reviews, but I didn't give him five stars. Where
we go, one star, we go all. I don't think
I've ever given anybody or anything than five stars. That

(40:56):
was the one time. Yeah, even like I've been saving
it for some well, actually there was one time that
somebody was cooked out of their mind, and I think
I gave him like three stars. That was generous of you. Yeah,
I think just also pulling over mid ride at night,

(41:17):
Yeah right, No, that person needs to talk all you want,
like whatever, I can absorb that, I get it. You're
in your card. I can I can just turn off
and you can feel like I'm listening, but like, don't
interrupt the ride to try and like now now you're
robbing me of control here, like at all, Like what
is this? Yeah? Zoom? Did he have like it was
just on his phone or yeah, his energy was weird

(41:39):
out of the gate obviously, right right huh um. Well,
so you know about Common Pizza, I'm like, okay, never mind, Yeah,
one of my favorite pizza places. The boys actually went
there and had the pizza and said it was good. Yeah,
it's good. Yeah yeah. Um oh you went to or
I've been there. Yeah, hermesties from te you know what

(42:00):
I mean. So, speaking of the sorts of people who
drove you home, who drive you home late at night? Uh,
Trump has appointed a person to the Commission of Presidential Scholars.
So these are the people who are like officially part
of according to the according to the Department of Education,

(42:22):
So the Commission on Presidential Scholars, they're a group of
eminent private citizens appointed by the president to select and
honor the Presidential Scholars. The scholars demonstrate exceptional accomplishments in academics,
the arts, career, and technical education, and an outstanding commitment
to public service. Yes, that's so. This this board they

(42:44):
pick you know who are we will or the president
will consider or these this commission will be like these
are our our our our finest scholarly What makes it
into the Smithsonian and what makes it into presidential uses
someone doing doing the most right right when it comes
to their scholarly war. So he appointed George age Mentz,
who I have to assume is a great respected scholar.

(43:04):
Oh yeah, um. And if you're not familiar with him
because of this, you might be familiar with his Illuminati
self help books, The Illuminati Secret Laws of Money, The
Wealth Mindset Manifesto, The Life Changing Magic, Inhabits of Spiritual Money.
What is Spiritual Money, Spiritual Mastery, I'm sorry, the life
Changing Magic. Yeah, Spiritual Mastery, another one, it works. The

(43:27):
Greatest Success Book To Think and Grow Rich with the
Power of Your Subconscious Mind. The combined summary ideas of
Joseph Murphy, Napoleon Hill, and Dr George Mentz. That's the
whole title. Yeah, books, one of those late eighteen hundreds
titles have like paragraph with other And this is a

(43:49):
WANCT did a great together A lot of his hits
A hundred Secrets and Habits of the Illuminati for Life Success,
The Art of the Highly Effective Badass, The Path to
Extreme Illumination, and the Secret Rules of Crushing It. That's
one book. What I just said, that wasn't three titles.
This guy has a book with crushing it in the title.

(44:10):
He is being and he's crushing it, I think, I mean,
and don't worry, it's not just because he's a Trump doner,
because he deserves to be there. Oh come on, man,
the President doesn't nominate people just because they're I just
like the blatantly praising him all the time, like someone

(44:34):
needed to donate that. I mean, clearly guys washing it. Well,
look at his credentials. This is from his website, the
first person in the United States. Already, when you start
something off like that, I'm checked out to be multi
credentials as a lawyer, m B, a qualified financial planner,
Certified financial Consultant, Chartered management Consultant, and registered slash licensed

(44:57):
financial planner. The first person. Also, I like, he's qualified.
That's a financial planner. I'm qualified? What does that mean?
So now let's dig a little deeper. He used to
be the CEO of a thing called the American Academy
of Financial Management and is the owner of the scam fest,
the Global Academy of Finance and Management. And this is

(45:17):
what was written in the Denver Post about these companies.
Both companies ord certifications allowing applicants to add an alphabet
soup of titles after their names. For a fee, you
can become an accredited life coach, a certified political Scientist,
a Master Islamic Financial Specialist, or more than a hundred
other titles. That sounds like like an SNL bit, like

(45:39):
when you're sort of beating the game out and they
get more absurd is financial so can I Well, I
would actually just like to be an Accredited Islamic Financial Specialist,
not rather than a Master Islamic Financial Specialist. There's also
a Wall Street Journal article in two thousand four found
AFM awarded certifications to applicants who had never taken a
course and in some cases had not taken a test

(45:59):
to they knew the topic at hand. So a lot
of it that's when the ministry media wants you to
dude when you look at his credentials again, qualified financial
plan or Certified financial Consultant, Chartered management consultant and registered
licensed financial planner. It's like he made a company where
he could give himself these titles and we also give
himself the credential to be the head of the Commission

(46:22):
of Presidential Scholars. No, I don't know, humble right now.
Maybe to be fair, I had never heard of the
Commission of Presidential Scholars, so that but I see based
on preliminary research, it seems to be a real thing.
We were asking at the end of last week, what, like,
you know, Trump things have gotten so absurd, his speeches

(46:44):
have gotten so absurd and you know, decayed mind sounding
that we I was like, what is this going to
look like in history books? Like we will have to
have a complete change in like what is considered funny.
I think it'll be that the Republicans enabled like a
sort of intellectually deficient president for four years and led

(47:07):
the country into further disaster. Or he changes through appointments,
he changes who is writing history is going to remember him.
I don't think. I mean it's going to take a while,
because I think I just imagine who the first absurd
scholar is going to be. To try and write a
glowing description of this. They will be category. They're just

(47:28):
going to be torn down, Yeah, because I don't think
there's a way to be academic about this and look
at just the facts that exist and then try and
obscure it. I mean people are going to try because
I'm trying. I mean, look at how most people don't
even know what slavery was like or or how that started.
A lot of people didn't like Lincoln in his time,
but you know what I'm saying, Yeah, but we don't
see that. That's why I'm a Republican because Lincoln was

(47:51):
a Republican. Please pass around the donation. I am christ.
I can't believe he did what did he perform at
Howard or something? Thing like a couple of weeks ago
and he started doing Mega Ship Yeah, and it really
I was like, why, it seems like a really odd
fit to have someone like that at a historical black
college doing his you know, I'm a can't think imagine

(48:14):
that one over. Well. No, but he was bragging about
how many people. He was bragging about his crowd size,
and the day before I think the Baby had a concert,
the quad was filled the funk out, Yeah, And then
a few people were just curious about Kanye. But it's
this is this is the very first, Like even before
Trump was the nominee for the Republican Party, we did
a podcast at Cracked where we talked about how narcissism

(48:37):
is like a hack for the this modern version of
like the social media media landscape, and like the two
biggest narcissists like if their narcissism is just allowed to
flow freely, they will be the last two people standing
as giant statues. I mean, when do you think Kanye
will start selling self help tapes and seminar? Not too long.

(49:00):
I mean he's already. Look, he's pivoting to a cult
like figure at the moment. He's doing services like religious
services that put him at the center. Right, it's oh, man,
can you imagine what it's like, what was that going
to Wild Wild Country? Yeah, maybe not at least like
audio tapes or something, you know, releasing his sermons or

(49:21):
whatever it is that he's doing a lot of just
a lot of ranting, ranting, Yeah, just trump jazz. Yeah, alright,
we're gonna take another quick break to contemplate that. We'll
be right back, and we're back, and let's talk about

(49:50):
that millennial lifestyle gang Okay, there's an article in the
end of chair Around as Possible, like I'm sure, Brian,
are you ring a dangle? Eerie? Sure, it's a conversation
just like your boy Berry Bonds And you're like, what,
just like your hero boy Berry Bonds Banks bred Um.

(50:16):
So there's this article in The Atlantic that's talking about
like it's titled, uh, the millennial urban lifestyle is about
to get more expensive, talking just about how there's this
concept of the millennial lifestyle sponsorship, which essentially is that
like a lot of companies like your Ubers, your door Dash,
your Caspers, your Lifts, your Postmates, blue Aprons, they are

(50:38):
taking a huge hit by like by making their prices
low to get people to use them. So because a
lot of times you're like, how the fund it only
costs for someone to deliver this ship, and because it's
being it's just being death like, they're subsidizing it through
the investments and things like that because they're after like ubiquity,
they want to they want to get their user base
as big as possible. But the problem is it's not

(50:58):
good business, right, Yeah, Like this article that starts off
if you wake up on a cast for mattress, work
out with a Peloton before breakfast, Uber to your desk,
out a wee work ordered door dash for lunch, take
a lift home, and get dinner through Postmates. You've interacted
with seven companies that will collectively lose nearly fourteen billion
dollars this year. If you use Lime scooters, download Wag

(51:19):
to walk your dog, and sign up for Blue Apron.
That's three more brands that have never recovered a dime
in earnings or have seen their valuations fall by more
than fift doesn't sound sustainable. Does not sound sustainable. On
the other hand, this is like Amazon just you know,
back back in the day was not a company that

(51:41):
was making any profits. I think this kind of goes back.
I think it's easy to uh speculate that these companies
are going to go under because they will go under
because of the way that the tech sector is completely
dominated by four companies that just changed the rules to
you know, kill everybody else essentially. Yeah, Well, I think

(52:01):
at the what they're saying is because at the end
of the day, they do know that this is a problem.
There's just going to become more expensive suddenly. And also
a caveat they say millennials here, but let's be real,
this is more like young professionals who have disposable income
who live in urban areas, like the generation itself. Because
I don't know anybody who eats Postmates fucking three square

(52:21):
Postmates a day and if you do your what's her name,
Jessica Simpson, because we should do like a hundred k
a month or yeah that's obscene. Yeah, hey that's and
see and that's the lifestyle we're chasing the Yeah Postmates, dude,
and never happen to your dishes. Right, Yeah, I'll just

(52:41):
I'll just create so much waste and carbon emissions from
having people drive around town for this ship. One that
he said specifically, this is by Derrick Thompson, I think writer.
One of the things he said that specifically we know
now because they like broke it down to units and
like Prayer customer, Blue Apron is not making it happen.

(53:03):
He was saying that they were basically subsidizing their users
and podcast producers. Yeah, they sent that. Look they say, look,
you buy a subscription for a Blue Apron, you pay
a hundred dollars a month, but then you do it
for a second month, a third but by the fourth
you're like, I actually know how to cook, now, why
don't I'll just go to the store like everybody else

(53:23):
and I and I feel confident now, thank you Blue Apron,
much praise to you for walking me through this desolate
landscape known as trying to learn how to cook. And
so your lifetime value to the company is four hundred
dollars for the four months you paid um or hundred. Okay,
so but since that they have to spend fifty thousand
dollars to add a hundred new users. So they're spending

(53:45):
five hundred dollars to get a user who will only
spend four. Yeah, they did the math and they were like, oh,
this doesn't this Well, that's why it's in the list
where their revenues have fallen and their valuations have fallen
by at least fifty more. Yeah, it was some wild number. Uh,
but it's funny because I as a generation, we're relying

(54:06):
on our parents and tech companies. Yeah, can you get
me here? Right? That means because yeah, they're there, just
hasn't been This is the first time that they just
haven't let the new generation come in and take over
the earning potential that the previous generation did because you know,
some might say it's because millennials are lazy and the

(54:29):
economy's bad, and some are refused, are the most selfish,
like narcissistic generation ever, and they're just like, now we're
going to hold all of this and then change the
rules so that nobody else gets any fuck y'all. Um, Well, yeah, yeah,
this is the landscape, so kind of like, get your

(54:50):
fill of your blue apron now before it goes away.
I was like, hey, get shipped together, watch YouTube videos,
start cooking your own food. Yeah, because I think there
was this whole boon of like, how do you like,
what's the uber for fucking pick any fucking thing? Uber fort,
Uber for high five, Uber for Window. I just got
a fucking ad in my Instagram that was this weird

(55:13):
thing where you pay a monthly fee to have like
gym clothes and the latest fitness apparel waiting for you
or FedEx to you in a city you go to
so you don't have to bring your workout close on
a fucking trip. I mean that solves a problem is that, Hey,
I'm a coked out business executive who doesn't have a

(55:34):
ship together, so I bring like a shopping bag with
me as my luggage. I forget my clothes a lot.
Looking at my assistant, We'll fucking phone in. I'll get
a FedEx package with some Nikes and some like new.
It's just that's where I look at it, and I'm like,
you also see the bubble that even these investors were like, Yeah,
that is a fucking good idea. Here's something that I
really would love. Let's find the people out there that

(55:54):
could use this uh uber for yachts that's out there.
I saw a dad to targeted ad about l A
traffic and it's to take a private helicopter to work.
That's in l A. Now I know it's in New
York to get to the airport. Yeah, no, l A
just to like go around town. Now, as ridiculous as

(56:14):
that sounds, it was apparently really good at because that's
how you showed up today. That's how I take a
chartered helicopter and I didn't have to deal with parking
and it was lovely. Now is the robe ladder that
you descended on part of the deal. No, no, no,
it's part of it. Well, you rent it, So there's
another comic. I think there's another company you rent the
rope ladder. Yeah, you show up, you have to wait

(56:38):
for them to come and then you get to pick though,
so you know, you pick whateveryone suits. Your style was
all black everything. Yeah. I like her aesthetic. Yeah it
was pretty dope. Alright, let's talk about other good business ideas.
They are rebooting Barney the Dinosaur finally no, no, and

(56:59):
then you the new MC is the Mattel Cinematic Universe,
or it might be the New Dark Universe, which was
the when Tom Cruise attempted to like start that off
with that Mummy movie that nobody went and saw. Uh.
And there was also the Wolfman movie that nobody went
and saw. There's a Tom Cruise Mommy, Yeah there was,

(57:20):
and he in the end I think spoilers, uh and
spoiler for that movie we don't even notice about it.
He ended up becoming a mummy, so it was like,
he's the Mummy, but you thought I am right. Uh
So you thought it was Brendan Fraser's Mummy, but it

(57:40):
was more Batman Begins. Whereas the origin story of Tom
Cruise Mummy. Uh So that was an attempt to launch
an entire old timey monster movie universe and that didn't happen.
So there are two options here. But the Mattel Movies
are launching a Barney film and a Barbie movie. Okay,

(58:01):
so let's let's talk about the Barney one. That's the
one that was announced recently. So it is Barney again.
Is the Purple Dinosaur children's program I Love You? Someone
from Mattel said that this movie that they're planning to
launch will quote surprise audiences and subvert expectations. Uh. Their

(58:27):
creative partner is Daniel Cluya's new production company, Daniel Cluia,
who from the get out perhaps the most surprising aspect
of this, right, Okay, go on. Clia said, Barney has
culturally disappeared into the shadows and that has that left
him misunderstood, which is a dramatic way of putting that. Wait,

(58:47):
we're still talking about Barney, the Purple Dinosaur disappeared into
the shadows, left miss underd nobody ever really understood Barney
miles like, where the fund do you come from? And
why are these parents letting their kids are on a
fucking dinosaurs advertised by the fact that we just simply
refer to him as a big dinosaur. So it's not
clear if it's gonna be live action or animated. If

(59:08):
it is live action, they could hire the original actor
who played Barney was inside the Barney Well, I mean,
he knows how to move like Barney and he's currently
running a tantric sex business for female clients that he
calls goddesses. This is nuts. But the guy who originally
played Barney as a tantric sex business only for females,

(59:33):
only for women who he calls goddesses, and when asked
about his background with Barney, he did say that he
used his tantric skills in his performance as Barney. Quote
the energy I brought up while in the costume is
based on the foundation of Tantra, which is love. So

(59:54):
um now this is as a I'm like, I don't know.
That might be enough to keep him from getting this job.
We know those things, but I philosophically Tantra. My cousins
huge into it, went to the island and ship and
is now like I was like, for real, because I
remember that movie Go There's like It's Tantra baby, where

(01:00:15):
the guy just was like, you don't actually ejaculate, you
direct the orgasm in word for the power You're chill. No, guys,
that doesn't sound so fun, right. Yeah, I'm like, I'm
fine just doing an old fashioned hey look something like.
I'm very goal oriented, you know, I like and we're good. Uh.

(01:00:35):
And so this is just the latest high profile movie
announced by Mattel Films. Uh. And it seems like they
are really trying to make things like dark and complicated.
Because so there's a live action Barbie movie that last
time I had heard about it, it was Amy Schumer
was going to either play Barbie or play like Barbie's sidekick. Uh.

(01:01:00):
She dropped out. Then it was Anne Hathaway as and
the script was being rewritten by Diablo Cody. Uh. And
now it currently stars and is being co produced by
Margot Robbie, which makes all of the sense in the world.
But it's being scripted by Greta Gerwig and Noah Bomback.

(01:01:22):
Confusing to me. Yes, so it'll have like a life
aquatic vibe. Yeah, I mean Francis ha and his life aquatic,
life aquatic. He was involved in um Squid in the
Whale um. So yeah. Jam mcnabbar writer is speculating that

(01:01:46):
it will be an introspective drama about the perils of
maintaining a relationship in a world where genitals don't exist.
Maybe maybe Yeah, I actually that version of it might
be very fun. Yeah, any other version of it unless
interested so surreal, right, Like in a way I could
see how a Barbie movie that had a Wes Anderson

(01:02:08):
vibe like people our age would be like, you know,
I might it seems interesting. I don't think plastic hair
and like it like kind of has like sort of
a surrender. Are they going to be like I don't know,
like that's what will it like kind of feel like
Tim Robbins version or Tim Burton's version of the Suburbs,

(01:02:28):
where like everything is very like cookie cutter, right, And
I can't imagine matel would be that self aware about Well,
but they're doing Barney with Daniel Cluya, and they're bringing
in No Bomb Back and Greta Gerwig to script this,
so it seems like they are like, now what you
think about Mattel is not actually where we're going with it, Mate,

(01:02:50):
your child, Yeah, this is a new Yeah, this is
again like like a lot like The Clueless Clueless, Like
maybe I'm interested in a story like this, but it
doesn't have to be Barbie we specifically like something that's
dealing with the themes of plastic woman and the expectations
of feminine expectations by not having genitals. I don't know,

(01:03:12):
that's interesting. That could be interesting, but you would have
to do that. But then that would make people look
at the Barbies that kids are buying now and being like,
what you love to see Margot, Robbie greggor Wig and
No Bomback collaborate on a movie. Just do that? Do that? Yeah,
they need the Barbie attached to it. Yeah. Maybe it
just starts with like a trip out to buy some
Barbies and that's Bie or like two people are like

(01:03:36):
stuck in a Barbie world and they don't understand, Like
what are you guys? Wake up? Wait, so you're saying,
like a Barbie girl stuck in a Barbie world. Yeah,
wrapped in plastic, it's fantastic. Wow, you can brush my hair,
untrust me anywhere. Come on, Barbie, let's go part. You
guys really had those lyrics right there. I mean, you

(01:03:57):
can touch, you can play, you can say always. I
know exactly the come on, barbul Let's go party. Uh. Yeah,
Miles is the one who's bringing the all the text
Apua fans at really you know where's that? Where's that
dramatic film about the group Aqua. Sometimes a lot of
people don't realize is another movie that was set in

(01:04:18):
the Mattel universe was Eyes Wide Shut. Remember how it
ends in the toy store? So that is actually that
that's the time. They're also doing a Hot Wheels movie,
which Jam pointed out every fest and the Furious movie

(01:04:38):
is already basically a live action Hot Wheels movie. Um.
They are partnering with Blemhouse for a Magic eight Ball movie,
which is the only one that I'm like, Oh, I
see how that that makes sense? The I P clearly
Mattel owns the idea of the Magic Apa and then
you combine that with the people who make The Purge
and all these other films. Somehow Mattel and MGM are
going to make a movie out of the view Master?

(01:05:00):
The view Master? What's that? We've that? Fucking the circular click?
It did a new thing. Um. I had one that
was just of uh. I think it was just famous monuments.
I used to love that ship I was a kid. Okay,
well maybe I loved it. I mean, but what are
you just pictures? Yeah? But that's where that's like saying

(01:05:22):
we're making a Kodak Pictures movie Polaroids the movie Ye,
don't don't shake it, and then it's just momento. Yeah
that's a good myth for the next time. Yeah, picture,
that's not true, but I think you know it's what
we're talking about, right, like how this year was peak
fucking i P, Regurgitation, Reboot World, and like, right, a

(01:05:44):
lot of the movie there's only two movies that made
over a hundred million dollars that weren't i P, that
weren't existing i P. That was us and once upon
a time in Hollywood, and then now we're still and
a lot of people are saying, look at the ship
that's coming out in twenty it's not good Son the Hedgehog.
So just a winted in all of us for allowing. Well,
but again this is because, and I talked about this

(01:06:04):
a lot, the difference of how development has gone in
the motion picture industry and went from people who were
creators like real producers, writers, directors, or people that who
are an understanding of the creative process to the marketing
people who were the people who knew what the money
was and said, actually this is what's going to make money.
And they say, you know what, you should be in
charge of making movies now because at least you know
how to make this ship popping from a profit standpoint.

(01:06:26):
And now we're here where we got fucking view master
the movie. Right, It's like they're making movies based on
what trailer is going to get you most excited. Yeah,
attraction online view Master. Yeah. He man also, which makes
sense the he mane one to h I think there's
multiple projects Hemane projects development, multiple hemans. My boyfriend auditioned

(01:06:50):
for a couple. I think the animated human two different
heman properties to humans to humans, um, I mean I
hope one of them has a very thick homo erotic undercurrent,
because those toys are very like there's a there's a
character that's named Thisto that fised and but everybody is

(01:07:16):
everybody is like ripped in fur underwear, right, that's where
they go to work out. I mean that they would
be a real missopportunity. If they don't follow that, that
would be a blockbuster, I think too, because it would
just subvert like whatever, look, let's do it, let's do it,
but fuck the stupid view Master movie. What's the ipn B.

(01:07:38):
It's about a magical view Master that when you do
a transported thing you're looking at funk out of here.
I just wrote that movie, and it's stupid or or
like you're using the view Master to like solve a crime.
It's like a magic view Master that gives you clues
through it. I don't know. I could see like J. J.
Abrams making a good one or something like that, perfectly
fine one. It's just because it's gonna start off, Grandpa,

(01:08:01):
what's in your attic? I don't know, look up there,
see if there's something, You're like, what's this thing? Hey?
Put down what? I don't know? View Master? Don't look
into it? Clicks and they're going some fucked up world.
I'm fuck you, view Master. I don't know why I'm
up on the Master. It's the fucking height of a
lack of creativity. The inanimate objects, at least as through

(01:08:25):
you can only watch it through a view Master. Fuck everything.
At that point, the new movie theaters of view Master,
we've honestly just fucking ended all. I definitely think view
Master of these listed is the least compelling, Like I
didn't even initially know what a view Master was, right, right, right?
I mean the other things I can see where it goes,

(01:08:46):
you know, but the fucking view Master or like, it
could be something dark and I'm floating right now because
I'm so I'm propelled by my rage. But it could
take you on a dark emotional journey of your worst
memories of trauma and like he has to lake or
she has to deal, right, I'm compelling when yeah, I

(01:09:07):
mean the way that they're taking these other ones, maybe
ye can I just I'm just like hear that creepy
the background, like the exactly that maybe maybe it'll be interesting,
maybe that would be and darkly funny because they also
did there there was an American girl movie or what

(01:09:29):
they're doing a bunch stuff with American girl. I get
that because even the dolls have a background. That also
American girl dolls are very popular, right, the fucking view
can I just read this thing from the Hollywood reporters.
They're saying that deals with other movies are talking about
like the view Master pairing. Since the nineteen fies, view
Master has inspired wonder enjoying children of all ages, creating
huge opportunities for storytelling, said Brenner in a statement. MGM

(01:09:51):
Pictures has tremendous expertise and a proven track record and
capturing audience's imagination through film, and we're proud to be
partnering with them to bring another Mattel franchise to theaters.
This works another important my staff. I just there's still
no one even knows what it's about. There's no writer,
there's no director of test because I think anyone's like,
I'm sorry, you want to make what No, it's actually so.
It sounds whack, but it's actually so picture Uh rolling
