Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season ten, episode four
of Dust Daily's Eight Guys for December fourteen, two thousand seventeen.
It's the penultimate episode of season ten where someone gets killed.
My name is Jack O'Brien, a K. Potatoes O'Brien, and
I am joined by my co host, Mr Miles Gray. Hello. Everyone.
I just want to let Age Pie know if I

(00:21):
see you in the streets, my man is ugly. Okay,
you're fucking with my Internet and I'm not here for it.
But anyway, let's move on. I'm sorry, but we are
thrilled to be joined in our third seat today by uh,
one of three people who I've looked up before the
end of their first appearance on Comedy Bang Bang. I've
mentioned before when we had on John Gabriel who was

(00:41):
one of the other ones. Lauren Lapkas was the other,
And now we've got the final one in the studio.
Please welcome Carl Tark Oh, Lord, Lord, I'm coming. Thank
you saying Nancy things on this show, yeah were ejaculating though, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm going there you go. Uh Carl, what's something from

(01:04):
your recent search history that is revealing about who you
are thinking? Want being let me check U brick shit house?
Yeah yeah, brick shouts. And I wanted to know where
that term came from. It's one of my favorite terms
because that my like my coaches have called me that
you built like a brick like a brick shit house.

(01:25):
And what did you have a flashback or did someone
recently refer to you as a brick shitt house? Well?
I donated to somebody's uh go fund me as brick
shit house. Wait, so what is the root of that phrase? Um?
It was nobody knows. It was just a term to
describe people that's built big, so I couldn't find it.
We see what else I hear? Brick house is good.

(01:47):
I think that's revealing. I think people now have an
idea of what you were built like. I'm built like
a damn brick shit house. Right, somebody smells you smell
good though you don't smell like a brick shat. That
smells like a brig rose house. But I, uh, what
was to do his name that that ruined Internet? Today?
I'm built like a brickshit house. These problems coming for you.

(02:09):
You can get these Hanes, Carl. What's something that's overrated? Um? Overrated.
Poke bowls too much. Mush poke bowls are It's like
a Hawaiian dish, right, that's like raw raw tuna mixed
with green onions and rice. You can't get it anyway.

(02:32):
But yeah, I think those places are popping up everywhere,
like when cupcake stores were like everywhere, like like now
I feel like every fucking place is like, yeah we
got pokey. Yeah okay, except raw fish is not something
you want to suk with. Like cupcakes can't kill you.
Cupcakes like if you have a bad cupcake, it's just
a bad cupcake. But pokcakes they can give you. Yeah

(02:53):
that's true. I'm hoping it does. This is a cupcaking
They're the cupcake king. And what's something you think is
underrated Lebron James? Yeah, underrated that I had a feeling.
That's where you're going to go with it. Until until
everybody respects him as the greatest basketball as goat, he

(03:16):
is underrated. I don't care how many people love him.
I don't care if people give him the respect that
he's the best basketball player right now. But until everybody
respects him as the goats underrated, until everybody has nothing
negative to say about him until there is no criticism.
He is underrated, but you, personally you rate him as
the greatest basketball player of all times. I do personally, Yes, yes,

(03:37):
personally and so but you. But your dream is that
people can at least acknowledge that there isn't much to
criticize Lebron James about. What do you and what's your
response to the rings argument? I think it's stupid, right,
I think it's dumb. I think I think like Scotti,
Pippen also has six rings. Robert already got seven rings, right,
So like, get out of here. But what about Michael

(03:58):
Jordan or Kobe's great? But not go in your book,
Michael Jordan the second best player ever? Whoa wow? You
like players who are built like a brick shit I
like brick shit house people. I think the most underrated

(04:18):
thing about Lebron is that he grew up in the
weirdest circumstances of any human being in the history of
the human species, with the possible exception of Michael Jackson.
Like he was famous. From the time he was in
middle school, Adidas and Nike were taking out like billboards
just advertising only to him. They were advertisements like designed

(04:39):
just to get Lebron James's attention, and he ended up
still being the best player in the world and like
being as good as everybody thought he was going to
be when he was eleven. That's fucking crazy. I guess
that is a testament to a goat status, right because
even like you know, like it's like when the Dali Lama,
they can identify him as a child like this, this

(05:00):
kid has chosen and he came from nothing, like the
dude had nothing. Wasn't his mom like locked up at
his senior game or something like? So his friends walked
about like somebody made this argument the other day it
was like the Warriors are the They're the real Cinderella
team because all these players are written off and that
I'm like, Lebron James may not have been written off,

(05:21):
but he came from such nothing. Is literally just he
is the most gifted person we have ever seen. And
his work ethic and which I'm sure all those players have.
I'm not gonna try to take away many other players
work ethic, but like, he came from nothing, man, and
he went on to be who he is and who
he continues to be, and the only person in history

(05:43):
of the league they gets better every year. How you
get better? Like Lebron has become a significantly better shooter,
like underrated, underrated shot, and people just like look on
Twitter and people just hate on him, like literally criticized everything. Yeah,
I mean, I'm not like a Lebron hater. I have
a different goat, but I definitely I'm not like I'm

(06:04):
not one of those people who's trying to drag his
name or well because he hasn't won as many rings
or whatever. He's a fucking freak and he could play
the ship out of the game, so objectively, you're gonna
have to give some kind of you know, recognition. The
other night he had like a triple double fifty point
trouble was only there and his dude posted a video
of Jason Terry making a shot in his face and
it's like it's just to criticize it, and it's like

(06:26):
all right, man, Like is he supposed to also stop
every other player who are all NBA level like Michael
Jordan never did that? People scoring on Michael Jordan's score
was wasn't Michael Jordan's to z Bro shut up? Like
people are so done with the Lebron argument stuff, Like
I think we're going back and watching a Jordan game
like from beginning to end, because yeah, he missed a

(06:47):
lot of shots. Man, he was not His field goal
percentage was nowhere near to what Lebrons was. I still
personally think Jordan's the goat, but I think that, you know,
it's definitely a conversation for sure. To be fair, in
my love for Lebron James really comes from the hate
like that. You like, it seems like that motivates a

(07:09):
lot of it is to sort of like when you
see people go moving one way, you'd like to push
the other. I root for the underdog. That's it. It's
not all I don't always go against the grain, but
I root for the underdog in most like situations. Like
I'm a Saints fan, I think having a Saints fan
since birth because we're from that area and my dad
played like preseason ball for him. But like that kind

(07:32):
of taught me to be like, hey, it's the win
is so much sweeter when, yeah, when when people are
against you, yeah, and you have to defy them. Yeah, Yeah,
that was the greatest Super Bowl victory, Like when when
they like just did everything right back when they were
the underdogs, and they like got that on side kick
at the beginning of the second half. That was exciting stuff.

(07:53):
All right, we're gonna get into format. We're trying to
take a sample of the ideas that are out there
changing the world, trying to take the temperature of our
global shared consciousness as a species. I'd say we are
a little sick today because the Internet was just murdered.
Potentially we have a fever definite degree fever hundred hundred

(08:15):
point six. Let's say. Uh, but before we get into
the news stories of the day, we usually like to
ask our guests for a media myth, something that people
the national shared consciousness of the species or just like
of the nation believes that you think is incorrect. Um, okay,

(08:37):
here's here's a battle that's been going on. Uh. People
thinking that is not cold when it's cold. We live
in Los Angeles. We got beautiful weather. Yes, at nighttime
we get that high desert. Sometimes it's like forty eight
degrees and you're walking with somebody from the East coast

(08:59):
because cold, and it's like it's cold, Like, I don't
care if you grew up in snow. I didn't grow
up in snow. Snow would also be cold, and he
was in Hell, it'll be hot. I'm from the South.
I've lived in very hot areas. But if we in Hell,
I'm not gonna be like, Man, it ain't hot out here.
You got from. Yeah, it's like shut up like and

(09:20):
so like. Like that's one thing that that pisces me
off when people call shame like it's forty eight degrees.
I'm walking out here in a thin hoodie. I'm cold.
I'm shivering. No, I'm not about to die of frost bike.
No it's not Everest, No, it's not Everest College. But
I'm I'm cold, Like, let me be cold, man, Like,

(09:40):
they don't make me weak. I think that's just a
way for people who are transplants. They get to feel like,
you know, a little bit of prepate's back where I'm from.
You know, that's been true everywhere I've lived. I've lived
everywhere in America. There's always somebody who is proud that
they're like wearing shorts in December. They're like, you know,
the cold doesn't bother me. It's state of mind. Bro,
It's just like, shut the funk up. I just retweeted,

(10:01):
uh This tweet by Bella K. Martinez to uh that.
She was like, Southerners, snow is so pretty Northerners, this
isn't even a real snow. Just you wait. I was
born Iglu and I drove to school on a snowmobile,
wheat ice for every meal. I can't wait to die
in a snowbank warp. Never heard of it like that.
That's how people from the Northeast like, Yeah, I knew

(10:23):
a couple of people from Massachusetts who that was their
claim to fame. Was really yeah, that's so funny. Because
I was in Boston last December. I was doing a
video piece somewhere at M I T or whatever, and
I was walking through the campus. There were kids straight
up in like they had just come out of the
gym in wet T shirt, like sweat T shirt and shorts,
and We're just like, oh, yeah, this is great, right,
And I'm out here with the fucking parko on with

(10:45):
a scarves, mitten, shivering and yeah, and and they look
at you like you're freak. Yeah. We did an article
about things white people don't understand, and I did research
into stereotypes about white people. The white people don't know
our stereotypes and not dressing well enough for the weather.
Was one of the stereotypes of white people that like
white people will just wear shorts and like really cold weather.

(11:08):
That was like a funny vine that was going around.
It's like white people when it gets cold, as like
a woman eating ice cream, like like like, oh, it's
great outside, and then they pan over reveal black dude
like in apartment shiver I'm talking about. Oh yeah, I
think that brings up a larger one like that. That
one's my my myth. But I think also I'm gonna
do something that's gonna cause a lot of controversy, as

(11:30):
if I haven't already with the Lebrons. Yeah, that's fine,
but Los Angeles is a great city, and I don't
think that just stood up and it's doing a slow
underrated rolling down. My underrated is Los Angeles. Los Angeles

(11:51):
is an underrated city, and I'll tell you why. Of course,
everybody knows you can ski and surf in the same
day and be comfortable at both, be warm in the water,
be cold in the snow. You know, I do it
every day. My way to work today and then you
snowboarding later. Yeah, you're got snowboard board home. Yeah. Uh,

(12:12):
I think every time a person from the East Coast
comes here and ships on this city. I don't like
the argument that people are fake because I think most
of the people who are fake are not from here. Uh.
And you build your own community anyway, so you don't
have to be like, of course the fake people everywhere.
But if you're you know, you make your friends, you
make your circles, so you can very easily make a
real circle of friends. Also, a person in New York

(12:34):
bumping into me and telling me to watch the funk out.
It's not real. That's an asshole. And don't think just
because I'm from l A, I won't beat your assay.
Oh man, that has happened. Like that has happened every
year my team shout out to white women, my improv team.
Every year we go to New York for dc CM

(12:54):
festival and some asshole New York person does some assholes
ship right, and it's like, that's not being real. That's
not what you think, is what what spake about out here?
Just do people tell you that they're gonna give you
a bunch of money and then they don't like because
you're just getting scammed. That can happen anywhere, right, I don't.
I don't understand that that real fake argument. I don't.

(13:15):
I don't like it. Bullshit. Bullshit is a great city
is you can do everything here, every dream you want.
This city has so much industry. It does have culture.
And guess what that culture is television and film. That
is a culture. But like and also go down to
Olvera Street and it's got me and myms. Uh. I agree.
I lived in my twenties being living in New York

(13:39):
being like the anti l a guy because I had
like spent a single summer here like doing an internship
in the film industry and Merrimax, which I'm told was
a toxic environment. Maybe, But yeah, once I got out here,
you just you need to be around the right people.
I think. Yeah, all right, let's get into the stories, guys,
because we got a lot of Mangazi updates. Um So

(14:02):
Russell Simmons uh, some very serious charges coming out against him.
Three women have accused him of rape from eight to
two thousand and fourteen was the span of the accusations.
Um And just the weird thing to me is that
he I don't know, like he legitimately seems to be

(14:26):
astonished and like taken aback and granted, like you know,
a lot of people pretend to be innocent, but he
just I don't know, there's something about the way he's
kind of just being like, I am, this shakes me
to the core of my being that silent person. And
as you were saying that people who know him say

(14:47):
that he's well, they were like someone one of the
articles I was reading that one of his accusers saying
like that he's just deluded, you know, like he believes that,
you know, he like to try and say like there's
no way this could happen because I'm an advocate, and
I am I have love in my heart, I have
a ky for non violence, that there's no way I
could perpetrate this violence. And yeah, one of I feel

(15:08):
like I think it was one of his accusers, was saying,
like that's sort of how he's rationalizing, like how all
of this is going down like that in some form
that him being so not my stay now like has
absolved him from ever doing anything because he's like, well,
there's no possible way, like that must have been consensual
because I am I'm the light now, So I don't know,
I mean, like if that's either him at the peak
of his delusion or he's or like, you know, there's

(15:31):
truth to what he's saying. I it's hard to figure out.
But based on these accusations, I mean these are not
fucking like he's straight up predatory in the way that
he like does some of this ship. Like a woman
at his house and said that it was for a
birthday party for his girlfriend to like catch her off guard,
and then when she showed up, it was just him,
um dark ship man um. And he's been famous since

(15:54):
like nineteen four, which is never good for someone's mental health.
Privilege come from privilege, and he also is and he
don't understand that rape and sexual assault is many different
levels and layers. It's not just some dude jumping out
from behind somebody's not like that. Ain't just it. And
also he comes from a place of thinking that he
can have whatever and whoever he wants. And maybe some

(16:15):
women did throw themselves at him, but not every woman
does that. And he just yeah, I mean he probably
doesn't bad ship doc and back he talks about how
much he used drugs, So you probably do some trash
ship bro have flying off that cocaine. Yeah. The fact
that he doesn't remember. It does not really an excuse
if he was just like constantly funked up. Um Morgan

(16:37):
Spurlock yea from Superside of Me. He came out today
and he sort of got ahead of things. Seem like
he was like, it's not a question of if I'll
be accused, but when they will come for me. And uh,
he talked about a situation in college where like he
thought it was consensual, the girl you know, midway through

(17:00):
started crying and they like you know, stopped and but
then like there's much more recent things where he's like
verbally abusing his assistant in like ways that are like
fucked up. Man's just like it's like, yo, this is
who you are now, how are you writing this essay
being like, I this is not right, completely separating himself

(17:22):
from behavior that he was doing, uh as a professional
human being like very recently. So that's fucked up. I
don't know good that he's kind of owning it because
he does seem to be at the other end of
the spectrum from Russell Simmons and that he seems to
be fully aware of how shitty his behavior was. But

(17:43):
I'm just saying, like I am the problem. Yeah, most
people don't say that, like, yeah you are okay, good,
so you know you're so you know your sex um
and then that's right. And then Blake faenthold or fairhold
uh is how it should be pronounced. I'm just mad that, Yeah,
it's he has a th h in his last name

(18:04):
and he tells you not to pronounce it as he
looks like he looks like a Pixar bad guy. He
looks like an He just looks like a clown. This guy,
he's a congressman from Texas. Basically, this guy was doing
dirt for so long, like he had a sexual harassment
thing come out in but just recently he said he

(18:26):
won't seek reelection because of all the ship he's done,
Like he verbally used his staff calling him fuck tards,
was telling female staffords like he was having wet dreams
about them. Also, this dude used to own the domain
blow me dot org, so like he was never did
he talk about that or was that just like a
thing that somebody like found out about. I think someone

(18:47):
found out and then probably asked him about it. He
was like, oh no, I don't have plans to like
reregister that domain. They're probably even said it for a
lot of money. Yeah, I guess the reason he was
before he was in congress, he had a computer consulting
company at bought domain names. So because he blow me
dot org was gonna be a real hot it was,
you're gonna retire off, you know, parking that domain. Uh.

(19:08):
Reuben Kewan kwan Y is another uh congressman from Nevada. Yeah, Democrat.
He's sexual, more unwanted sexual advances, which he half denies.
I feel like we're just going down the list right
like we used to talk and now we're just like,
all right, so who we we got today? He is

(19:30):
a gentleman, across him off the list, and then we
get down to Warren Sap. It was caught in the
NFL network scandal we're talking about earlier this week with
one Style One Style. I feel like it was the
one female in the entire network building because she was just,
you know, forced to sit through all this awful Marshall
Falk exposing himself. Yeah, because this happened really this week.

(19:53):
So then Warren Sapp the same stylus. Apparently he just
like started peeing in front of her and would show
her nudes like photos of other women on his phone
to her, and then he gave her sex toys as
Christmas gifts three years in a row. And then he
put out this tweet with the picture of it, and
he's like, He's like, I thought it was okay because
I thought they was cute, like the vibrators were cute,
so that they made sex. That was sort of defense

(20:16):
of that. So I just got a fake sports in
the articles and want of SAP blames his CT acting up,
my CD acting up. Yeah, I don't know, we'll see.
He thought it was cute though, Uh they're adorable, but yeah,
and also too, there was like one of the NFL
network executives had to delete his fucking Twitter account because
people found all the ship like he was tweeting like
escorts and porn stars and stuff. So the NFL network

(20:38):
sounds again not that we're surprised, but like, yo, like
a fucking awful place to work if you are not
about you know, being treated like total ship And one
of the sex crimes, Kentucky State Representative Dan Johnson killed
himself after you know, one of his teenage daughters uh friends,
accused him of molesting her when she was over at

(21:02):
his house. For a sleepover, and uh, it's, you know,
disturbing story, but his like last Facebook post is super disturbing,
but it's also the ravings of a madman. So I mean,
this dude clearly wasn't well what do you say? Uh?
Everything he said everything from like I'm innocent and like

(21:23):
conservatives need to stand up for me to uh nine
eleven two thousand one w t c N y C
PTS T four seven just like rambling. It was crazy.
Uh so I don't know. And then he killed himself.
And then he killed himself. Oh damn guns, we need
gun control. Yeah, guns are that. That is the number

(21:46):
one way that guns kill people as suicide. That just
doesn't get talked about because it's a fucking bummer. And
then finally Tavis Smiley from Yeah it's because it's weird
because his defense is, like, you know, he tried to
be as fourth right with PBS as possible. He had
his own witnesses. He wanted to know, like you know
how who they were talking to or whatever, and like

(22:07):
he's claiming PBS never shared that with him. So he's
he's out here saying like everything is absolutely false. But
according to PBS, they have multiple credible allegations. So I mean,
I don't know. I don't just say Tavis at the
docklight one night. Really he was out on a date.
She was mouthing the words like get me away, but uh,

(22:29):
he was cool. We all look and it was like
a bunch of white people and like these five black
dudes like he's like, what's going on. It's like and
the white people like, is his name Traffic? It's like, no,
it's Tavis, all right, man, just because I said trash,
it's not you. With many people, yeah, they're like, I've
never heard that name. It's like, well you haven't heard

(22:50):
most names. All right, We're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be right back, and we're back. So we wanted
to talk about net neutrality. Uh, rest in peace. It

(23:11):
has been killed by a jeet pie. Uh. We spent
the morning in our office, or at least I did,
detailing violent fantasies about what I'd like to do to
him with his wacky novelty mug. I don't know if
you guys have seen. He has this giant coffee mug.
It's like Reese's coffee mug, and he just breaks it
out at all these press conferences and like it's just

(23:32):
like he's like a pretty funny prop comedian. Yeah, he's
like he is the worst and in keeping with his
uh just awful awful conservative sense of humor. Uh. He
released a viral video today on The Daily Caller where

(23:53):
he basically the premise was, He's going to show you
all the things you can still do on the Internet
after he kills net neutrality, And he was like, you
can still take pictures of cute puppies, you can still
gram your food, yeah, and buy fidget spinners. It was
just like, hey, kids over here, look at these trendy things. Well,
I fucking knife the entire Internet. And then the biggest

(24:16):
insult is at the end he's like, and you can
still do the Harlem shake and they revived that old
fucking thing from what Wow. So yeah, it's unbelievable, like
how we got here, Like there were millions of comments
that were like spam, there were ones that were straight
out of Russia, and he ignored everything, still pushed this
vote through. And that's why I think a lot of

(24:39):
you know, there will be lawsuits after this to try
and block this, because this is completely out of the ordinary,
Like this was the most commented issue at the FCC,
and I think I'd imagine a lot of the real
comments were about, you know, maintaining these rules. Yeah, I
mean there was. It was a big, hotly debated issue online,
and I think a lot of the debates that were

(24:59):
pro killing net neutrality where yeah, like you said, from
Russian bots. But the deal is basically, um, you know,
currently we have a rule called like dumb pipe uh Internet,
where like the pipes are controlled by you know, the
Internet service providers, and they're not allowed to determine like

(25:21):
what goes through the pipes at what speed. The pipe
is just a pipe that the Internet flows through, and
they have to just ignore what's going through it like
it's a utility, like it's water or you know, any
or electricity or something like that. Uh. And now what
they're now going to be able to do is be like,
you know, because a T and T has its own

(25:42):
streaming service, if you use a T and T as
your Internet service provider or whatever, a T and T
is not going to let Netflix flow through their pipes
because they have their own streaming service or whatever, or
you'll have to pay twenty extra dollars for Netflix to
like flow on the Internet. And that's how it is
in other countries, which is the warning that everyone's been

(26:02):
giving is like in Australia and like and stuff like that.
It's like, Okay, do you want to use Reddit? Okay,
that's like two bucks a month. Do you want to
use text messages? Okay, that's another three. Do you want
to stream video? That's another five? And like now they're
basically just breaking it apart. Like I mean, not that
this is the immediate future, but that is what you know,
countries that don't have these regulations look like what is
he like, what's good about this in his mind? So

(26:23):
he's coming from a place where he was the legal
counsel for different Internet service providers, so he's from that industry.
He's arguing that because the Obama era net neutrality laws
are actually regulations on these Internet service providers, they're actually
like getting in the way of competition because their rules. Um.

(26:45):
But it's like the whole argument for deregulation, like just
let the market sort it out, and the market sorting
it out usually ends with giant companies making consumers lives
shittier or has often uh resulted in that the one
thing I will say is that, so you have the
Internet service providers, like on one side, the comcasts and

(27:08):
you know, the people who own the pipes, and then
on the other side you have the facebooks and the
twitters and the people who actually create content. The Netflix
is and um, you know, there was a lot of
propaganda being created by those people like buy Netflix and
Facebook and stuff like. There were images of what the

(27:28):
Internet is supposedly looks like in you know, different countries.
I think New Zealand was one that I saw, and
it was like, you know, Netflix five dollars, Yahoo two
dollars and like all these different things, and those are
actually like photoshops that were made up by someone like
that were you know, basically somebody trying to trick people
into fearing net neutrality more than you know, and like

(27:50):
that is a thing that could happen, but the fact
that they were like falsifying images is just you know,
there's got Russian, Yeah, you got Russian botted a little
bit on oh my. But they're shady people on both sides.
And I will just say that, you know, when people
are talking about net neutrality, they're usually holding up this
idea of the internet when it first started like in
the nineties when there was all this freedom to innovate,

(28:13):
and we don't really have that internet anymore because of
like Facebook and Google and Apple, like these giant companies
are squashing everybody who tries to compete with them, So
we're not really in a place where, you know, everybody
is free to innovate, Like Facebook still controls so much

(28:34):
of the Internet that I mean, basically, you are sort
of choosing sides in a fight between giant behemoths who
are already stepping on you know, competition in a lot
of ways. It's not it's not super clear exactly, you're
just picking a side. Well. I think the other thing though, too,
is I mean, yes, there are those arguments, and I
think that the things that are more scary or like

(28:55):
because these regulations aren't there when you want to play
these things out to like nightmares scenarios like saying well, hey,
we can make uh, you know, Twitter slower, where like
you know, they're communities of like you know, people of
color who rely on things like social media to communicate
and spread news and things like that and may not
have the resources like if they have this tiered system

(29:15):
of the Internet that could actually keep people from communicating
in the way that's most efficient and things like that.
So I think it's just from the slippery like have
been found because of Twitter, right right, And I think
that would be a shame, like if things start going
like that, because then you know, if if we go
into like this more draconian direction of things like and
and like let's say the government decides like you know,

(29:37):
Twitter is like allowing people to communicate like too cleanly
or whatever. Like you know, they're able to unify in
a in a way that might be you know, counter
to what the objectives are of the government or something
like that, or a company that you could then begin
interfering with things like that. That's when it becomes a
little problematic from from where I see it, where it's
like that shouldn't happen, Like you shouldn't be able to
tamper with the Internet. But I understand that if you know,

(30:00):
there there are other ways to like, yeah, we're past
the era of like this, uh, the free open internet
creating all this innovation, but you know what's the dark
ages like And I think that's what that's what scared
most people is that it opens it up to being
a for those things to happen. Yeah, I don't see
it being a good thing regardless. I'm just saying that
some of the sort of assumptions that people are using

(30:21):
to argue for net neutrality are a little bit full
of ship. But I can't imagine a scenario where Verizon
and A T and T and comcasty it's cheaper and
faster and more reliable. Funk out of here, I've spect.
I can't even like just half the time I have
to use my cell phone, like watch it. Yeah, the
and Drecconian, Like, if you've ever had to deal with

(30:42):
you know, internet service providers with like a technical difficulty
or just you know, trying to change your service, it
is a fucking nightmare. Dreck Coni and is probably the
best way to describe it. Um Hey, speaking of giant behemoth,
Google release their search terms seventeen um, which I think
is I don't know. I Google is interesting because we

(31:05):
have like a detailed record of, you know, what we
are thinking of as a culture, like our hive mind,
what we're thinking of. So like when historians look back
on history, like usually they're able to just lie and
like tell a more romantic story of like what happened,
Like we look back on the Old West and we're like, yeah,

(31:27):
it was this you know, battle between the frontier and
the rule of law and chaos and it was actually
just like everybody was drunk and like shooting each other accidentally,
and like I don't know, like when you actually look
at the details, but you know you're able to romanticize
it when you look back in history. And we are
not going to have that ability because Google has all

(31:50):
the records of everything we were thinking about as a culture.
And uh, I don't know if there's some interesting stuff
this year. Uh. One weird difference but between global search
trends and the US is that Megan Markle is one
of the top ten search terms in like worldwide, but
she didn't make the cut in the US. Wait, no

(32:11):
she did. Actually when I look at people, she's number two.
She's number two on people, but not on overall to
overall search. Oh, I see Matt Lowers number two. Uh why'
looking in two different lips. Well know that for top
just searches, not people. So like, in terms of search volume,
Hurricane Irma was the most search topic, then Matt Lower,

(32:31):
then Tom Petty, then Super Bowl, then Las Vegas shootings,
Paul fit I just learned that term. You know what
that is? No girl, fatass white? Oh pH yeah wow,
because I thought it was pretty well. I guess that
makes sense though, too, because whenever you see that hashtag,

(32:52):
it is on curve your women. Yeah, I don't know.
I'll follow a lot of the curve instagrams, which right
now I followed the curve. But like, okay, how about this.
Who do you think the top athlete searched was this year?
Carl this year? This year? Um, Tom Brady? No, And

(33:12):
you know why that was because people were searching Mayweather
Gregor to try and find that stream. Yeah, so he
he had a guy he's read it. You know. It
was number two, Gordon Hayward because they wanted to see
his broken It's just so funny. Top five, Top five Mayweather,
Gordon Hayward, Aaron Boone, Paul George and Tony Romo. Tony Romo?

(33:36):
Why is Aaron Boone on there? What happened to him?
He just became the manager of the Yankees. I think, oh,
that's why that's weird. That makes sense down there because
all the Trump stuff. Yeah you would think so, But
so the one rule of this is that these have
to be spikes and searches. So, for instance, Trump is
not the most search person just because last year he

(33:57):
was also the most search person, so it wasn't like
a big spike in searches for him. They were going
to make me the most search perssion this year they
failed cancel. That's why he's being the greatest search engine.
Why do you think Megan Marco didn't make the top
ten in the US and made it globally. I'm very

(34:18):
confused by that because she is an American racist nation
and she is black jack that was the second most
searching person and the highest search actor. Yeah, ain't no
black person ever gonna be the top search unless it's
Cardi br which was number two, and musicians, yeah, Cardi B.

(34:38):
Black people can't never win. So the list of people
is actually very revealing because we had a lot of
like really strong triumphant women, and then you'll see a
trend in the men. So number one person Matt lower
two is Megan Markle three, Harvey Weinstein four, Michael Flynn five,
Kevin Spacey six, Bill O'Reilly seven, Milania Trump eight, Kathy

(34:59):
Griffin nine, mile Unopolis and then ten gal Gado wonder Woman.
So yeah, it's an interesting group. Yeah. I think the
one thing that I just want to flag is that
the top how to search in the United States was
how to make slime? Right, What the funk is going
on in America? That's what you are trying to learn.
Also in the globe, how to make slime is number one.

(35:21):
This is I think actually revealing because so one of
the most popular genres of video on YouTube right now
is how to make slime videos. And it's just kids
trying to figure out how to make slide. Yeah, Like
it's basically used like different cleaning products and make different
types of slime, like put cleaning products in the microwave

(35:41):
and uh, some slimy, weird cool ship comes out. See
that's a different error because I would get fucked up.
I can't try to cook up a bunch of slime
in my fucking microwave. Yeah. The kids sell it at schools.
What Yeah, they go to school and sales slid Yeah,
that's what they're doing instead of druss. So the reason
is is because it's created, that's an entrepreneurial opportunity, I

(36:02):
mean for themselves and for others. Also, how are. How
are you so up on the children's slime game in school?
Slide the slime trade. Don't ask no questions. I also
know the kids are smoking cigarettes more than never again,
now is that true? Jesus? Do you smoke? Snare? Is no?
Just weed? Disgusting? I think the younger generations, well, I'm

(36:23):
like two years older than you are. I think the
younger you don't know, my GM five years older than you. Okay,
well thought I thought you were like twenty six. Oh,
thank you so much. The kids younger than us are
smoking cigarettes again, that's crazy. I guess truth worked a
little bit on our generation. We didn't smoking wasn't cool

(36:44):
when we were Is that because vaping is back and
already considering that what it is? Because that's the thing
I would see now. It's like the ps A like
a sixte ye oh kid is like, I'm hooked on
vaping and you're like, bro, you're already taking a l
a sixteen like that by being a dude who's hooked
on vaping and doing a commercial back, Yeah, yeah, you're
getting laughed at, know. I mean, the tobacco companies have
been working very hard to find other nicotine delivery uh products,

(37:06):
and so they've got vaping. Uh, they've got this stuff Snooze,
which is like yeah, delicious, you can't even Yeah, just
delicious tobacco that you can just put in your lip
and nobody can tell you're using it. It's like because
you can swallow it, right, Yeah, you can swallow it
so you don't have to spit it out. Really Yeah,
it's uh, I'm gonna get some of that after this.
Did you ever have teachers who chewed in class? Yeah?

(37:27):
I had a teacher and like he pretended like he
was just taking SIPs of a coke, but he's, you know,
the exact same fucking thing. My When I did improv
in high school, our theater teacher, Mr Lawrence shout out
to Lawrence Arms had t Rex Arms. He would always be,
you know, like when people chew, like they got a
pinch right here to get their flavor up under their lip.

(37:48):
And then yeah, same thing diet coke can because we
knew he'd be like yes for guys, And you can't
see this the podcast, but what I did was take
a very weird sip out of an imaginary coke can
and just yes, spitting in there. My baseball was just
used to spit baseball you're on the field. Um yeah,
But I think the whole like that, I think that's
what will be known for, is like the way that

(38:10):
culture sort of started being you know, songs right now,
some of the most popular types of songs are by
people who can't really sing that well, like future and
people like that. It's like people want to be able
to like do the thing. So like the most popular
videos are like kids making slime because that's easy to do,
and like people want to be able to see themselves

(38:31):
like doing that thing and people, you know, that's the
type of music we like. That's why we like reality
TV is because we can compare ourselves to the people.
Um so, I don't know. I think I think that's
in these search trends. Man, just fucking kids. They're slimed kids,
these kids in their slims. I remember when I used

(38:51):
to buy Nickelodeon GHEK. We just bought our own slime
at then and also expensive, like bought me one, and
like half of it you'd lose because you'd like throw
it like out of a car or some ship, and
then like you're like, well I got half my gack
now and there was no Internet for me to be like,
I don't make gack to be honest, exactly, like I

(39:11):
bet the things they're doing, like I bet making slime
is way cooler than what the ship I was doing.
Like I was like trying to light stuff on fire
that like wasn't that flammable? Like I was just doing
boring ship because I didn't have the Internet to tell
me how to do all that stuff. I was mixed.
I was just trying to find new solutions to clean
my shoes with. And I just mixed bleach and acid

(39:32):
tone went into a star foam cup and then yeah,
right right, just and I was like science, right, I'm
just like went no noise, no, like nothing. It was
just when yeah. Yeah. The only the only things we
knew how to make were like out of the like
anarchist cookbook, like that's where the fuck my dad was

(39:53):
at back then, or like trying to make fucking napalm.
You were trying to do that like styrofoam and gasoline. No,
all right, never mind that book is banned now, ain't it.
Yeah it must be. I mean like it was like
one of those things where like it was like a
thing kids talked about you heard about the anarchistic cookbook
like tail this thing and it took some kids like
wild like junkie dropout brother who had it, and like

(40:15):
we had like maybe five pages of him. We're like,
this is it and it wasn't. It wasn't enough to
get in trouble, but enough to get our minds going.
I heard of you google it? Now you get flagged?
Really yeah? Right now? With the Internet neutrality, you know,
there is a whole new tier that you can just
google bomb stuff. You gotta pay. Which package do you want?

(40:37):
I want the domestic terrorist package. All right, we're gonna
take a quick break. We'll be right back. You just
always confused, and we're back. So a few quick hits

(40:57):
on our way out, Amar Rosa on her way out
set off some alarms at the White House. So what
what happened here? It's the best story apparently. I think
it was at a Christmas party. These are the only
facts you didn't know. She wasn't doing it at the
White House, and she was getting a hundred eighty thousand
dollars a year just to fucking distract the president. John
Kelly Jeeves zav hated it because apparently she knew Trump

(41:19):
so well she could just say some ship to him
and have him fucking spiraling just and so over time
he had always wanted to get her out. And then
I forget Morosa was like him in third in the
first season of Yeah, she was kicked off. She lost
on The Apprentice twice. I'm pretty sure because I think
she also was kicked off Celebrity Apprentice. That's how much
Donald Trump is working with her, and now a third time.
So she was basically a distraction. John Kelly is like,

(41:43):
you're fired. She flips out. She was like, nah, funk this,
you don't. She's like, like think somebody that effect of like,
hell no, you don't have the power to fire me.
He was like, yes I do, and you're fired, and
I'm not Donald Trump telling you this. You're fired, and
she was like, wasn't having it. She apparently called Ivonka.
Trump was like like like I don't know what I'm
gonna do, work or whatever the funk it was. And

(42:05):
then finally she had enough that she stormed into the
White House, into the residence part of the White House,
not like the Western where they work, but the residents,
which is completely like like you can't just run up
in there like your boss's house. Yeah, and so it
triggered alarms because you cannot just fucking stroll in there.
So it was like a whole ordeal. Some accounts that

(42:26):
the Secret Service had to fucking drag her ass out,
kicking and screaming because she was like this is bullshit.
But then fucking like the next day, the Secret Service
Twitter is like, we did not have anything, you know,
we did not have to escort her out or whatever.
All we did was, you know, deactivate her badge that
gives her access to the campus. But then Sarah Huckabee
Sanders earlier in the day was like, no, she's resigning

(42:48):
and she's gonna leave on January twenties. I think, as
a policy on this show, we can just stop saying
what Sarah Hugaby Sanders said, just because like it's never
even like remotely true. It's just she just like gets
up there and has say whatever says never heard, just
like complete it has no bearing on the truth. I'm
so tired of her. So she says January twenty, But
then the Secret Service like, no, we fucking we killed

(43:09):
her her ID badge. So I mean, if you're leaving
the twentieth why are you getting your key card taken
away so quickly? And again then she shows up on
Good Morning America Today and it was just like the
narrative it seems like now is that she's, like you
knows as a woman of color. There was a lot
of things that were really disturbing to me in the
White House. But it's like, first of all, it took
you this fucking long, Like what were you fucking alive

(43:33):
during the campaign, Like did you think this, dude, Like
come on, don't do that. Don't do that. I'm a rosa.
Don't start playing that woman of color bullshit. No, I
mean you had your chance. You had a chance. And
I mean, if it gives us a great tell all book,
because that one thing she said, she said, I have
a story to tell that I think the world is
going to want to hear advantage lovely. That is very

(43:57):
exciting to me, but that there's nothing better than a
woman of color scorned who was in the White House
watching all this racist ship happen. Because I'm sure she
has a fucking spicy one to tell. Well, this just
goes back to Trump being the easiest person to manipulate
that has ever been president. So he's gonna have people
around him who just are good at flattering him, and

(44:18):
so like when they you know a lot of people
who you know are just there to manipulate him have
access to the White House. So that's gonna come back
and bite him in the ass. And I mean Roger
Stone also has announced that he's now writing a book
about the downfall of Trump. Already, yeah, already. That is interesting.

(44:40):
I think Politico reported that this book is in process,
and then he came or the Hill one of those blogs,
and he came out and I was like, well, that's
just one of the directions it could take. But like
that seems to be the direction it's going. When you're yeah,
when you're opportunistic, gas is already preparing to bank in
on the downfall of the president. Like what the funk
do you know? You were his main advocate? Like that's

(45:02):
not good, Like, no, I've seen it. We've buried bodies before.
I'm damn. I think everybody should read the autobiography of
Gucci made. Oh yeah, what's it called? The autobiography of
Isn't it doesn't have something? Is that? I thought I
had a weird subtitle is an actual book that came out. Yeah,
I thought it had. I just got done with it.
I listened to the audiobook I don't like to read.

(45:23):
Is it read by Gucci? This actor who is so
funny to listen to him say, he's like one of
those black actor dudes. Hey, the autobiography of Gucci Man
God has read by me. I listened to The New
Yorker sometimes on audiobook, and like, they have actors who

(45:44):
just can't say words that aren't like specifically in the dictionary.
And I wish that's who had read it. That would
have been incredible. Um, he's like he found that John
like at the party, Like John read that word. Another
unconfirmed rumor that seems like it's probably true is that

(46:04):
Paul Ryan is going to resign after two eighteen, just
you know, out of watch yeah two or no? I
think he is his term up in two thousand eighteen.
I think so yeah, So he's just not gonna run
for re election and then he's gonna go and retire

(46:26):
to doing p ninety X. Do women think he looks good?
I don't know how they could be. Just as a
horizontal line where a mouth should be Uh, he does
those Kenneth Bruna lips Yeah, we see you, Kenneth Brunna
non existent lips um. But at first year, I think
that women loved him because he was like, oh, he
works out and he's young. He wore backwards hat once

(46:49):
and then like then as you actually like his politics
really came out, you're like, oh, this guy is a
fucking bag. Yeah, no, his his whole He talked about
how back in college he used to like stand around
at frat parties fantasizing about reforming taxes in America, just
like take away entitlements from poor people. Yeah. I think

(47:12):
that's saying he's like coming after a medicaid and stuff. Next,
I feel like Paul Ryan claps when he hoops, like
when you got the ball. He's like the kind of
guy when you're playing d you try and clap when
they take a shot to distracting, like a lot of
clapping when he's on the court, like hey, coming over here. Hey, well, well,
so we've just found out from super producer Nick Stuff

(47:35):
that Paul Ryan is a rage against the Machine fan.
How the fuck? So this dude is being eaten alive
by an inner conflict between like his tastes and like
anti establishment ship and just being the most establishment motherfucker
who has ever existed. Tim Tuk, Tom Morello, Zach I
forget the drummer's name, Go find this man and shake

(47:56):
the ship out and be like, yo, you're you look
like you're born without a face, holliback, Like, I don't
know what the fuck Paul Ryan, I mean again, I
think one of the reasons too, is I think once
these tax cuts are passed, he'll be like, oh, well,
I've done it all. Or maybe some are maybe he's
afraid of like possible democratic wave in twenty team. I'm
not quite sure. I'm not an expert, but we shall see.

(48:18):
I'm an expert. What do you think? Why do you
think I'm not a political expert. I'm just in an expert. Yeah, well,
what's when your expert opinion on this? What do you think?
Why you think he's leaving? I think he's leaving because
he might have some sexual assault ship coming out. But
also usually the women they get sexually assaulted by these conservatives,
seeing they have they back at times for some reason.
But uh, and I also think he's leaving just because

(48:41):
maybe his band is not comfortable. I think he got
into this for like idealistic reasons that like, his ideals
are fucking terrible, but you know that's why he got
into it. And then he's just been forced to eat
ship for the past uh, you know, a year and
a half, and you know, he's he's starting to feel
like what Kelly and Conway and like some of these

(49:01):
other conservatives look like who like seem like they're you know,
dying on the Yeah, because he's had to go back
and forth constantly. One second he's for something, he's against
somebody's for somebody's against something. It's it's fucking tiring, right.
And now to know that he was fantasizing about tax
cuts or frat parties, you know those dudes just straight
up jerks off to YouTube clips of like Bush announcing
the tax cuts or something like right right, right right, Well,

(49:22):
he'll have plenty of something to do that now. Uh.
And finally, there is a rumor going around out there that,
uh I almost called Marco Rubio Ricky Rubio, uh d
do Y's name. Marco Rubio is potentially a no on
the tax bill. Yeah, the tax bill might get interesting suddenly. Uh,

(49:45):
but we we don't know for sure. Well, right, because
Bob Corker does not like the plan because it doesn't
address the deficit, which is one of the reasons he
voted against it in the first place. And then also
you have to remember that there are two congressmen who
are out right now on leave medical even what, John
mc jane and DoD cochrane. So those are two votes
that aren't even present, and you need fifty votes. And

(50:05):
so I mean, yeah, this could cause a bit of
a delay for this thing to get uh you know,
to have a final vote on it, and maybe Doug
Jones will be in the Senate by then, who knows.
I mean, it could be an interesting next week for sure,
there might be in there for a long time. And
then need a snack poke bows for the conservative Yeah,
one of one of the I was hoping you had

(50:26):
a business name for that. One of the talking points
that we mentioned yesterday was that the Democrats waited for
Scott Brown to get into office before they voted on Obamacare.
And uh, I've seen it pointed out by conservatives that
you know, that's not necessarily a fair comparison, because the

(50:50):
whole Scott Round election was about Obamacare. Whereas like this
text plan wasn't like the main focus. Well, how about
then they can still talk about how about Mitch mc
donald not fucking nominating or letting a Supreme Court justice
get confirmed and blocking that? So they could put in
crazy as Neil Gorst's like, like if they had made

(51:10):
it the focus of the the reason it wasn't a
focus or you know that much of a focus is
because they had a pedophile that the Republicans were running
like that, you're going to make that the focus Regardless's
not a priority exactly. Um, So we'll see. But yeah,
the tax bill might not be as much of a
slam dunk as people thought before. Carl, it's been a

(51:33):
delight having you. Yeah, this is it, man, Man, I
wish I knew about all the stuff that John know about. Well,
it's hard, man, It's what you do for a living.
Keeps me looking young. That's why I thought it was
twenty six. Yeah, what makes you look I'm not sure.
I'm not sure. I'm thinking I don't and I don't
intend to find out right, Uh, Carl, where can people

(51:53):
find you on social media? Check me out at damn
It Carl or all Things Socialist d a M M.
I T c A Aura l on Twitter and Instagram.
Follow up? Hit me up? Do you snapchat? I don't
snap like that, okay, because I'm telling you follow Carl
just for his Instagram stories, because I'm telling you one

(52:16):
of the funniest stories I saw this year was just
Carl laughing at a little Caesar's commercials so funny, you don't.
You don't realize how absurd a commercial is till you
have Carl's laugh behind it. And Carl, uh, do you
do you have a podcast? No? I don't. Jack, Okay, cool,
let's give him one. Hey, we're gonna give you one.

(52:38):
Oh ship you are? Yeah? You and Edgar and Jack
Quies who will be on the show in the not
too distant future. I think I'm gonna call it Culture Kings.
But Jack, I can't just release a podcast without a trailer, right,
especially when Anna made me record it thirty and so
the trailer, I'm gonna release that on December. How that

(52:59):
that sound good? And in the first episode, I think
I'm gonna release tell me the right day. Let me
just think of a good date here. I needed to
be on somebody's special birthday, and I think I want
that birthday to be Gucci Man's wife, Keisha, or her

(53:23):
birthday is on January ten. The released the first episode
on Keisha's birthday, which is January ten. It's five days
after my birthday. I'm gonna be four years younger than Myles,
okay until he becomes a year older, which I will be,
and then balance will be reston. And for anyone who
was thinking this was a bit, no, Carl, You're on

(53:44):
a new show called Culture Kings. Who would think that
was a bit? I don't know very just let yeah, guys,
King's right here on How Stuff Work Network. It's gonna
be very funny. You guys like Edgar, you guys like Carl,
and I think Jackies will be in here next week. Yeah. Yeah,
So by that point you'll have heard everybody and it
is gonna be the funniest ship out there. Shout out

(54:05):
to all the eggers haters because you talk about you
don't like him either. Um, so they have a point. Yeah,
they got a point. You guys are right miles. Where
can people follow you? You can find me probably watching
