appreciate the modern world, be like, look at these advances, right,
and just.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Be the most annoying person all day. Yeah, oh what
is that connection? Yeah? Even then I think I'm off at.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
That's like when Yeah, that's like in that episode of
the Office when the Ben Franklin impersonator came in and
was like trying to act like.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
He was in the fucking seventeen hundred and shit, it's
just like fully methods.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, by the way, I found a good The Office
fan theory that they're all suffering from Radon poisoning as
the show proceeds on Reddit because we're gonna discuss the
fan theory a little bit later on. And I was
like going through being like, what are some other blank
was dead all along fan theories and like the top

(01:32):
one of the top red subreddit fan theories is that
they're all suffering from Radon poisoning at that factory because
like in an early season, I guess Toby's really worried
about Radon poisoning and everyone's like, shut up, Toby. But
then like the characters kind of get dumber as they
as the show goes, the the flanderization of the characters

(01:52):
becoming more over the top, and they're like, that's because
radon poison.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Oh shit, first second, my third tsing about Radon chongs
the act. Then I realized that you're not yet. Yeah, yep,
that part.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
He thought I was saying that they were suffering from
Raidon chung poisoning.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Like I don't know, someone had to do a raid
On I don't know why though, yeah, shout out, maybe
I got raid on poisoning.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
All right, Well, my name is Jack O'Brien aka let's
see massive balls, massive balls test tickles for days scrout
so big that you would think it's a giant's massive dong.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
That is courtesy of Warren the wear Bear saying Happy
December everyone, Jack O'Brien aka Jack and the Giant ball
Sack to Jack and the Giant bean stock.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, an ode to my medical condition, node to what
the kids would always call me. But yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Will not get tired of talking about the guy who thought, no,
the dinosaur bone.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Wait to hear this one testicle was giant giant giants testicles.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Anyways, I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my
co host mister Miles Gram.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Miles Gray a kas note that you la you knowice
ballskin Ah Again, I got to go back to the
fucking femur bone that the guy found. We can't get
off of this. The guy thought it was fucking a
big ball sack and it was a dinosaur bone. Jesus

(03:35):
and I just came up with that ak too. Hell yeah,
yeah that was for me, and that was for y'all
Wiki movie.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Because it also suggests, like we've said, that his ballsack
is connected to his penis in like a very weird way.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, that it's like mechanically part of his skeletal structure. Yeah,
so yeah, targinal Targano, like I wrote.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
A schedulearly for stuff that must have had happened uncracked.
That was like the guy, the guy who drew the penis,
the big golden penis in the background of the Little
Mermaid poster and he has there's a quote like I
researched him. I was like, why did he do that?
And he was like, I did not. I do not
think that looks like a penis, sir. And I was like,

(04:19):
so you must have a very unique looking penis. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you must have a strange looking penis. And similar with
the ballsack guy, it's like your balls must be like
have a weird relationship to the skeletal structure of your body.
If that if you thought that was a giant's scrot him.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah. Anyway, again, more questions than answers, I think, is
what we've been saying. Miles.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
We are thrilled to be joined in our third seat
by one of the very faces on Mount Zeitemore, a
hilarious and brilliant producer and TV writer. You know him
from the Joaz this racist podcast, it's Andrew.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
What I'm just gonna say, aka the procrast teenager, because
I completely did have I had nothing prepared for everything
we're about to talk about, and I am currently. I
was just I was just about to I've been let's see,
we'll say I've been not working on this thing that

(05:16):
I really should try to get done for about like
fifteen consecutive like work hours. Now it's like two and
a half days ish into day three. I just don't
want to do it. Yeah, I got this note on
a script that I just I'm like, I can't make
it work.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
So your pain is our gain, because yeah, what are
your procrastination? When we hit you up and said somebody
had to back out last second, we got Andrew.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Ready to go frantically but frantically reading the document right now,
it's like, great, this is it's not rewriting this script
and so it's great. You know, honest, I was about
to like either I was gonna work out and reclean
the kitchen. Oh yeah clean, damn yeah people, time forty
deep clean. I seasoned. I seasoned a carbon steel walk

(06:12):
that doesn't be seasoning.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Like, no, you really shouldn't You're like, I just did
I just did it cares Yeah, yeah, yeah, are you?

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Uh dude?

Speaker 3 (06:23):
I see like all the pure those carbon steel pants
I see popping up so much now, not just like
in walk form, Like I feel like everybody's on carbon
steel now.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah. I I this is the first carbon steel thing
I've ever owned. Right, it's better than I I get.
And I got a cheap O one. It's like very thick.
I had to throw out. I didn't have to, I suppose,
but I realized the walk I'd been using was one
that I got in New York Chinatown when I was

(06:52):
in just out of college. Yeah, and it probably in
price averaged out to about seventy cents a year I've
owned it, and that thing was sort of more rust
than walk by the time I threw it. I got
every time I ate something, Yeah, that that ship had
to go. So I just got like a like a

(07:13):
cheap o like carbon carbon, not cheap, a medium cheap
o carbon. So and it's pretty good. Yea, what is
this red rubs on this thing that you've cooked? Very Yeah,
this is a little iria too, kind of minerally, Yeah,

(07:36):
that I was not taking such good care of the
old walk or r I p.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
To that was thank you for your service the old
wa Yeah, that's a great way to think about, like
the sense per year.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah, that's that thing lasted a long time and it
was very cheap, and I brought it from New York,
which is in retrospect very stupid, like it was made
to be thrown away, right right, I just did you
brought it with you? Like on the plane? Is sh
it holding it? Only carry on? Yeah? I have been
doing my morning eggs Japanese ish style with little cornstarch

(08:11):
water in the eggs, slur to do it like the
like how you do like an amor rice? Yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah it's great. That's my just free free holidays. Have
you seen have you seen the Tornado egg? Yeah, it's
kind of that. It's kind of that vibe too. Yeah,
I'm not like fully doing all the thing with the
with the chopsticks and ship.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah yeah, it's it's that vibe. It looks cool. I
mean it looks better than it is. Like that's what
I give the Tornado egg. Yeah, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
All those all those eggs are like it's like yeah,
it's just but it's it's a lot easier because that
way with the corn starts slur, you don't have to
like watch it as closely. It doesn't like cook nearly
as quickly. So that's mainly why I do it.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, anyway, I put water in my eggs. That's I
don't do corn starch.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Water though, way, try a little, try, a little start.
The answer to your question is, I don't know what
does it do? Not sure?

Speaker 1 (09:08):
I mean the water makes it very tender, not that
my egg were like chewy before, but you know that
makes it like very soft, and it's very difficult to
overcook them, you know, Yes, yeah, stays nice and soft.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
They stay a little bit more tender, more tender, you know.
That's what it is. That's just buys a little try
a little bit of corner potato starch, just that Like
I do like the amount that the vessel that I
used to get it out of the container is a fork.
So however much can basically fit on the times of
a fork plus like water plus eggs, you know, whatever

(09:44):
kind of eyeball it. But just a little bit of
corn starch.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah, eggs are for someone who has kind of generally
high cholesterol eggs like I always knew eggs were a
thing that people are like they have a lot of cholesterol,
Like one egg has like seventy percent of your daily
allotment of cholesterol.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
I think I was reading so many eggs. This is
my my brain, clearly, my my underrated is also a
breakfast thing. I just I just forgot that. I typed
that twenty seconds ago. We're gonna find it. Get ready.
This is a breakfast It's a real breakfast theme. This

(10:26):
is this this podcast. What I'm bringing to the table
this episode is basically like like usual suspect style. Just
I'm only to be talking about the things that I
just did or can see right now. I just pull
it off the wall. All I got. That's my level
of prep. It's like if I can if it's in
my field of vision or it's in my like short

(10:48):
term memory. Yeah, that's all I got.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, one egg sixty daily value of cholesterol.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
That's too much. I'm fucked. Damn son, damn. How you
gonna unclog that? Any means you should you should eat
like no more animal matter. Basically, if you have an
omelet in the morning, right right right, that's it vegan,
but omelet for cholesterol you're on the juice cleanse for
the rest of the day.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Right right, yeah, all right, think about it, folks, All right,
what could possibly go wrong?

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Andrew? We're gonna get to know you a little bit
better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listen,
is a couple of things we're talking about. Everyone's quitting Congress.
We're gonna talk about that. Grock Groke. Also in the
good news category, Groke, the anti woke chat bot is
finally here. Wait is it Groke? Grock? Probably right either one.
It's like, yeah, it's so. It's just like when you

(11:41):
look at that those four letters, you're like, man, fuck
this thing. G R okay whatever you are. Yeah, I
feel like if it was GROC, it would be g
R O c K. But can I can I just
say neither of you guys have spent time in the
computer programming trenches. It's definitely GROC and GROC is computer
per like white guy like your white I T guy

(12:01):
with a beard who like you don't want to talk
to slang for understand.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Oh dude, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Is it like a verb like I grock that or
are they just like h exactly do.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
You do you Grock. What I'm saying, get the funk
out of here.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
I believe here's a quote if you get your ass
kicked saying something like that, and most.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Hell yeah, Overwatch too is a complicated game that will
take a long time for new players to fully Grock.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Oh right, yeah, it's yeah, we don't need to anyway,
I promise you. What's rock? And well I Grock? Cool.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
So we've got that, and we'll look at the Dead
Kevin theory of Home alone because it's kind of interesting
and yeah, I don't know. I love good fans all
of that plenty more. But first, Andrew, we do like
to ask our guest, what is something from your search history?

Speaker 2 (13:00):
I had to look this up because I realized I
was talking so much ship immediately after watching the movie
saltburn with my friend, and then I very clearly became
it very quickly became clear I didn't know what the
fuck I was talking about because I didn't basically what
I what I had to search was is saltburn a book?
And the answer is it is absolutely not a book.

(13:23):
Saltburne is the what's your name? Emerald Farnell directed this
new movie. I think it's a theater.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Promising young woman director played Camilla Bowles in The Crown.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Oh I did not know that. I I don't know
anything about I. I have a real limit to like
all the like British white people kind of like become
the same person to me. Yeah, so wow, wow, as
soon as you is it, we shrugged off the yoke

(13:58):
of colonials and they all went back to the faceless
white masses they always should have been. But uh yeah,
because it's just it's in that style of like the
fucking like you know, schoolboy at private college, public college,
whatever college, Like this.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Ship was written by Ian or not Ian Fleming. What's
that guy's name who writes those McKellen. I yes, it's
it's that kind of ship where I was like, this
has to be a book, right. What I will say is,
I wait.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
I thought you were doing P. G.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Wodehouse Ian the Atonement guy.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
It's that kind of bullshit, it's like, and it does
play with that form that clearly I am very, very
very unfamiliar with. So I mostly enjoyed that movie on
a I'm loving watching these the horrible white people do
horrible things to each other, and yeah, it's sucking. It's
it's entertaining. I I it's definitely one of those movies

(15:01):
I walked out of. You know, as part of this conversation,
I did realize I didn't understand probably anything that happened
actually in it. But you're right, I got very hard,
very fun to watch.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
It's like about class in the UK, and so there's
like all sorts of signaling.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah, all kinds of signaling and mannerisms and like some
ship where I'm like, yeah, I guess without getting into
spoilers too, I was like, I don't. I think this
doesn't know. This no longer means what I think they
think it should mean. But what do I know? Plus

(15:44):
salt doesn't burn pepperburn salt, dog, I know, I know?
And chorn starks corn stark, chord starts don't what do
you mean stars that could hurt con can't melt steel
beats that house we believe that X is actually still
called Twitter and corn starts cannot melt steel beams. There

(16:05):
we go, what is up? The thing is overrated? This
is something I realize it is about to say it.
I think there's like a medium chance I said the
identical thing at about this time last year on this show. Okay,
but I'll say it again, which is like it's it's
I just want to say I understand this makes me
like a kind of gatekeepy dick. But it is once

(16:29):
again the holiday season and the mutual aid group that
I try to help out with called Solidarating Snacks. We're
out there every Saturday on skid Row Solidating Snacks. This
is my plug also, but it is so like bonkers
how much like just the between Thanksgiving and Christmas, like
charity comes in. Like there's just so many fucking like

(16:53):
church groups and people mostly church groups up, I'm being honest,
or they are like one time a year and this
is when everybody it's interested. Yeah, it's really just like
you know, people are fucking like need resources in April
also right like and also like you can feel guilty
about what you have and others don't year round. Actually

(17:15):
you really motivate your charity, it really, It really is
this weird vibe where you just like see all these
people that you're like, I know I'm never going to
see you again, or I'll maybe i'll see you next Christmas. Basically,
but you know there is better than not. And obviously
for many reasons like there's not enough stuff for anyone,
but it is a little just like consider giving at

(17:37):
all times or contributing to your community at all times
of the year, not just not just the one or
if you're really cool, like even if even if you're
like group is only good for once a year, Like
just like maybe do it the week after January. Do it?
Do it? It looks cool January. Yeah, you're working on myself,

(17:58):
that's been working on these abs.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
It's more effective, or just like give money, right, it's like,
all right, show up in December, but like for the
other eleven months, you know, put a little bit in
the hat and then when you show up and be like, yo,
we're here and we got it back.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yeah exactly. It's really anyway, sorry, this is both counterproductive
gate keepy and not cool of me, but it's overrated.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
You're just being Look, you're giving your perspective and you're
not trying to say that it's an absolute we get.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Really, I'm just like not. It is one of those
like figuratively, get the fuck out of here and obviously
thank you for yeah, like something.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
In like doing that kind of work too. You can
definitely see people who are like there to like absolve themselves. Yeah,
they're bad behavior, Like you know, like we're like you
see people really pat themselves on the back in a
way where it's like it feels performative rather than like
it's fine if you have one time a year or
something to do something. But you also, I've you definitely
notice an energy to where it's like, aren't we so

(18:58):
good for doing this? And I will not fucking think
about it until the pastor gilts me into it eleven months.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Well, there's also the element of like proselytizing that occurs
in those.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Instances when we're saying, oh, yeah, fucking just hand the
shit out the presence, not for me, it's from Jesus.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah, exactly. All that being said, you know, any anything
is good at any time, of course, of course, of course,
of course, yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Better to do something than nothing, but maybe not all
at once at the time when it's most convenient and
feel goody for you. You have like a nice fun
soundtrack of Christmas songs.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
Often that's the only time of the year we take
which we try to go every I mean I think
we've been successfully going every Saturday for like almost three
years now, and the only time that we just schedule
a we're not going to be there is like the
one right around Christmas Day because it's just like everybody
else so much.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yeah that's right, everyone else got this. Yeah, not that
we got anything, but you know what I'm yeah, what
what's something you think is underwritten?

Speaker 2 (20:03):
All right? All right, get ready? This is more breakfast
talk and actually probably related. Just like a straight up
salad for breakfast. Nothing just no like yeah, no, no
nod well like or whatever like salad but yeah no,
no nod towards like there's an egg in it. There's
no like kale with a running egg or just like
it's just a normal ass depressing bag salad. If you

(20:26):
got it, that's what this is. Yeah. I literally had
a even worse. I had a Von's bag salad for yesterday,
and I was like, this is not ideal. It was
mostly because it was like probably gonna it was near
the end of its you should eat this like there,
But I weirdly did feel more good than I like

(20:48):
to admit yesterday because if you ate like a pile
of eggs, yeah exactly, the eggs that are gott to
kill you. And so did you put it on a bag.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
Jack, No, just a regular salad. Bro no salad on
a stack of flat flat jacks. Jack No, no man,
just a regular I did.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Actually my nod to breakfast was I had like a
fucking like cranberry like kale and broccoli stem salad from
Vons and a cup of black coffee. He like, there
you go. That was just like grim man. That feels trim.

(21:31):
I'm on a black coffee kick too, grim as fuck. Yeah,
I've been doing this thing I got. This is just
based off of like twenty five seconds of YouTube advice.
So I don't even know if this is good, but
I've been doing because it's just myself in here. Pour
over coffee, one cup of pour over in the morning.
And then the thing that I saw that I've been
trying that I think is working a cold bloom on

(21:54):
the grounds instead of a whole bloom. So for the bloom,
usually you put a little bit of their hot water
on the beans.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Let that kick it for like thirty seconds a minute,
and they're saying just to put cold water first, like
like room tap.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
I've been putting like like kind of like let's see
it's it's all in fucking centigrade.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
So I'm trying like like about a like, wow, you're
on that coffee ship to the place that you went
to to centigrade.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Wow, it's probably sixty some sixty seventy degrees, no eighty
degrees maybe something like that. Okay, so it's not like
cold cold, but it's not it's not. Yeah, it's what
do you do at five? That's exactly what my kettle
is set to to five? I know, y'all. I put
in and uh so the cold bloom, but bloom for

(22:41):
longer like two minutes. It's been tasting pretty good.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
I can't like to be this new beans too. Yeah,
think about it? Are you so sort of thinking about
the flavor that? Are you like hand grind? Like are
you taking a lot of steps to like that all
the nice ish grinder? Okay, damn, like like one of
those but not I do have a hand grinder, but
I guess I could go back to using it. I
threw that into my camping stuff because oh yeah, that's good.

(23:07):
It makes sense there.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Now I know what a cold and hot bloom are
for the listener of All right, so what you're doing
or you're doing pour over right?

Speaker 2 (23:19):
You have your grounds and you put in the little
fucking funnel thing. And this is like if you're at
a fancy coffee shop where they like you see them
pour that little kettle like measuring little scale. The bloom
is at the beginning where you put in yeah, usually
three times the amount of water as weight compared to

(23:39):
the bean. So if you have fifteen grams of beans,
put forty five grams of water and just let it sit.
And what the bloom does, and that's the time when
all the carbon dioxident comes up, so the little like
looks like a little the little coffee grounds are blooming.
And so most people do that at boiling hot and
just throw it out there, you know, try it, Try
it cold ish, colder yeah, yes, yes, summer pool temperature,

(24:03):
that's right, that's right. Cool, but not cold.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yeah, because if you're living out like in Chicago right now,
then you open up your tap not that not no.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
No, no, that's true. I do. I put the kettle
on and I just like kind of in the middle
of it, grab it out to the bloom, and then
put it back on the the warmer. You first, that
little cough of like yeah, yeah, anyway, that's what I'm
went up to damn breakfast advice breakfast.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Salad because it just happened. The only reason I can
tell you this is because it just happened. And also, uh,
Mason Jars.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Also uh, my phone loving my phone handle this candle
from Costco that's on my desk.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
I don't think I'll be able to get used to
like the where you pour the milk over the salad
like it's cereal which.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Breakfast. And also this this bugs money in Space jam
toy from the nineties that a US is racist.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Listener sent Wow, Wow, that looks like some shit you'd
win at Magic Mountain like back in the day.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
It feels like I can't remember why. We were pretty
convinced it was like official ish, but yeah, it does
look pretty official. It also looks like he has like
he's about to or like he's just suffered a head shot.
There's something about his like facial expression like he's kind
of looking up and his mouth is a gape. Yeah,
his eyes his eyes are let's just say they were

(25:39):
they were not, they seem like they were. It's a
toy from the nineties, so I'm not dude, it looks
like people are selling it. Oh no, the eyes are
just as fucked up. Okay, never mind, I was gonna
say I thought mine might be the result of just
don't have a tag though in this eBay al right
about twenty ten bucks, ish, I thought mine might be
the result of you know, the we'll say, undercompensated labor

(26:02):
was right, They has no need to give what the
eyes look like when they're playing. Yeah, yeah, might be
perspiring well yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and some kind of shock.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yes, all right, let's take a quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back. We're back, and yeah, so
it seems like we're just there's a lot of stories

(26:35):
about people leaving Congress. Yeah, like more than their own will,
with their own will, like on purpose, Yeah, more than normal.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
Even what's going on here, Miles.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
I think it's just it's like the feeling I'm getting
is like, wow, even Congress is over Congress at this point,
because the last couple of weeks we've seen a lot
of people, right, just in November alone, thirteen members of
the House and Senate Sam.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Yeah, it's a rap for us, bro.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
We're not even we're not running for reelection, and that's
a number that hasn't been seen in like over a decade,
and you know more notably, we had George Santos, he
got the boot.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
McCarthy fucking rage quit. You know, he was like, not
only am I not running.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
For reelection, I'm not even gonna be back from break
after this. Okay, I'm gone in January. You will not
see me anymore. And even old bow Tie McHenry, the
man who got to have the gavel for a little bit.
Oh yeah, the man who. Yeah, I think it's probably
one of those things like when you truly reached that summit,

(27:36):
he's probably like, yo, bro, like I probably shouldn't ye,
Like I'm fucked like nothing.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Gavel is like the ring from Lord of the Rings.
It just ruins people. He didn't want to become smooking.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
That's what happened. Oh man, I gotta I just read
the first half. That pretty dope. Yeah shit, it makes sense.
That makes sense. Actually, so cool, like invisible like I'll
see it. Ship seems cool, dog.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
Yeah, like someone's like whispering to you all the time,
like I don't know, I'm kind of lonely, right but yeah,
right now we're seeing the other thing is we're seeing
members from both parties. Yeah, both parties were headed for
the exits.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
And normally before an election year, we see this all
the time.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
People retire because they anticipate a l They're like, yo, bro,
the wave is coming from me. Like I'm not even
gonna fucking waste my time or my donors time. Like
I've already like it's done its thing, I'm out. And
that's what makes this year different because a lot of
these members aren't necessarily leaving because of the writing on
the wall for them. They are leaving because, in their words,

(28:46):
Congress is quote not the optimal place to do good
and make change.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
A Democrat, Okay.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
We have and then and it's not just Democrats that
are saying this place ups either. Republican Debbie LESCo of
Arizona said that DC is basically totally broken and there's
no way to get anything done. That's and I'm like, wait,
but but that's true. And I thought that's like your
whole soggy dream as a Republican party is that the
government would become inert, break the.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Government, right, yeah, yeah, that's like when yeah, exactly, like
all your everybody's been saying that for a minute.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
They're like fuck government and shit, I mean, I know
I'm here, but fuck this and what's true though, they
haven't really got anything done recently, like aside from censuring
each other. Jamal Bowman just got censured for pulling the
fire alarm obviously, they censured Rashida Talib for speaking out
and like really despicable censuring of her. Where Democrats joint
and then we have like either that or government shut

(29:40):
down fights or just despicable resolutions, like recently trying to
conflate anti Zionism with anti Semitism. There's like, yeah, you're like, yeah,
that's you're not a lot of serious shit is going on,
and if you try, it's like you got people like
Matt Gets and the others being you know, can fucking
hold the entire business of the of the house hostage basically,
So yeah, that's kind of they're all just, I guess,

(30:03):
bummed out, but it's probably more it's probably more like
better to just I'm sure from their perspective, like why
should I get threats from death threats from maga freaks
when I could just go be a consultant and then
get a bag in the shadows and nobody.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Fucking nobody even has to fucking look at me. Anymore.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
But I can get a bag, get paid very little
to have your life threatened, or yeah, go go work
for private equity.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
And yeah, I guess it's it's just I feel like
it's got to just be like the cycle is shortening
like it used to be, Like you paid your dues
in Congress, like you got to grease a few palms,
or get your palms grease. I don't know what that
term means really, but and then you move on to
like you're speaking, you know, like consulting kind of like
cushy bullshit. Right, it feels like like these people all

(30:52):
just have to realize, like, well, I think part of
it is like this George Santos of it is like
you can just be kind of like a vague political
influencer and like it doesn't you don't have to put
it nearly enough time, in as much time as you
used to in Congress before you can just get away
with that ship.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
Yeah, exactly, like or so why not yeah, or be
a freshman and just say the wildest ship and suddenly
everyone's like, is.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
This the new darling of the GOP? And that's how
you get I've been doing dog whistles for nineteen years
on the set. Yeah, you don't fucking notice me, and
that this person comes in front of their boo, you know,
like you gotta feel bad, Yeah, gotta feel bad for
the patient racists. Yeah, you know how long Newt Gingrich

(31:35):
had to wait? Come on? Yeah, George Santos did it
like fucking like a tenth of the time. And then
he's laughing at you all on fucking Cameo with all
the fucking money he's making. Is that real?

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Like I saw some headlines that are like this guy
is gonna be a millionaire off Cameo.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Is a pap millionaire. But you can make it, bro,
there are people probably possible.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
Yeah, there are people who have who have podcasts, who
have been on TV shows that I've worked with and
I found out what they were man on camera.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
I could not believe it. But like you gotta be
on like a if you're in a big show, you
can definitely get some passive inky off that mean it's
not very passive. Nearly pass yeah, pasink, but I think
what it is is it's not quite passive. But what
it is is like even if you can make a
even at the low, low low end, like you know,

(32:23):
a couple dozen dollars for fifteen seconds of work on
your phone, right right, Yeah, if you if you hustle,
you can really make that add up quick.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Yeah, I guess so if the if the asks are
there and you truly don't give a fuck, you're just
like read what is on prompter, then yeah, you can
probably do pretty well.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
You don't you know, and you're only ever doing it
as yourself. There's no like there's also like no real
like incentive for repeat business. So guess what, you don't
really even have to do a good job. Yeah, Like,
here's what he's doing. And right now George Santos is
charging about four hundred a pop. You could message him
for twenty He's a really good YELP rating of four

(33:05):
point nine to seven. Oakland Dinner Chat friend group. Let
me tell you something.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
We all have good years, bad years, okay years, superbiers.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
The reality just taking day by day focus. The universe
is here for you. It's so funny, like he switched
gears so seamlessly to like bullshit influencers to I'm like,
was he on the Bachelor? Is that? What he's is that?
Where do I know he got that vague reality TV charisma. Yeah,
yeah he does. Yeah, it's really I mean, I think,

(33:37):
like like all things accelerated by the Internet, this is
just another like yeah you can, you can get your
grift in. I guess on the balance, if you're this
like odious, which most of these people seem to be
at least, it's quick like like you know, first say
what you all about Santo's He ultimately did not do
as much damage as like I fuck it new gig

(34:00):
Rich could have done, you know, to do like you know,
he just got in, did the griff got out, And
because of the Internet, it was so much faster.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
Yea that he was really bad at getting away with it. Obviously,
like idiologically he's on the wrong side of all arguments
most of the time, But even then it was more like, yo,
we gotta get himut because he's making us look bad.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Yeah what.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
Okay, sure, I don't know how the funck y'all think
you looked everyone else, but okay, go on, say with
like Madison Cawthorne, they're like.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
Motherfucker trying to make us look bad talking about Morges
with cocaine and stuff, and you're like this is so
so un serious, But it's all, yeah, it's all the
weakest pr I mean that's the other thing too, Like
consistently every time you like hear about like corrupt politicians
and like or even like you know, not technically corrupt,

(34:53):
but like you know, all the donors and all these
you know, you see it for any given thing, the
the actual dollar number consistently makes me so fucking shocked,
Like people like will give away billions of dollars of
stuff for like a twenty thousand dollars donation. I mean,
I guess that we know about it, maybe right a

(35:15):
few times, but like it's it's like so cheap to
buy Congress compared to what you can get. It's it's
like that's like the probably the best money you can
spend as any kind of lobbying corporation kind of sitch
or I guess the Supreme Court maybe, but it's pretty cheap.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
The buy in for the Supreme Court, Like you have
to be like generationally wealthy. I feel like to get
to get to the summer camp where Clarence Thomas is
like you know.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Yeah, but I still think the money is less thaning.
I think there's like, first of all, I think you
could tech tech money buy your way in there. I
think it wouldn't have taken that money like NFT pyramid
schemes to get you a Supreme Court justice. That's all right, say.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
Yeah, it's but I mean, like, yeah, when you think
about like a maxed out donation as an individual to
like a candidate or whatever, is like thirty three hundred dollars. Yeah,
what I mean, so like you first when you're like, oh,
they're a max donor, and then like what a lot
of these people do is like they got they basically
have the kids make donations.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
You're like, you see how many fucking max out individual
donations I'm making through all these smurfs I got in
my family, right, But even but that's what I'm saying.
It's like even then, like it's it's like barely touching
six figures, you.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
Know, I mean unless you're given like but then if
you're doing the full layout, like to pas, to party
national committees, then you can like a lot of cash.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
But yeah, no, I get it.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
It's not like it's a million to get someone's attention. Yeah,
it's thousands to get a congress person's attention.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
It's it's so bizarre how cheap it is. It's really like,
oh anyway, sorry.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Everyone, this shit anyone ever, like, but just like used
corruption for I'm just trying to think of, like what
I would use if I if I had that money
to spend on a congress person, Like what what you
could do with that? Like I was just thinking of it,
Like I really don't like peppermint candy canes.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
And that's your pet project.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
Yeah, if we could just like lower without like going
out and announcing it, because I realized yesterday when I
announced that I'm not that into peppermint candy canes, like
people came and like wanted to fight me on social
media about that. So they're adherents out there, But I
feel like you could lower the amount of peppermint in
candy canes, Like do do something?

Speaker 2 (37:35):
Make up some research. I mean, you want to figure
this out. This is how you would probably do it.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
You have to say you can't go directly after the
business because that's too obvious. So then you have to
look at the materials that are used to make candy
canes and then find a way to either take away
subsidies for those things or put terris if they're important.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
To then I make the make the ingredient more expensive.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
Yeah, so you got to find someone who's on that
committee that would potentially have oversight from that, and then
it would then be like agriculture thing.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Yeah, Okay, here's here's a question Jack, And maybe this
was addressed at a piece of media. I did not
consume peppermint specifically. And two questions. Two part question. First
is more of a comment and a question. Is it
a spearmint? What's the different spearman at peppermint?

Speaker 1 (38:24):
It's just MINTI candy cane. I feel like it's toothpaste
that rats your teeth.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
Essentially to my second question, what do you have a
candy cane like an alt candy cane preference?

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Yeah, I like like fruity candy canes, like the taste
like a you know, fruit lollipop. I'm down with those
for sure. No issue with candy of any sort in theory.
I just I feel like the im the presence of
peppermint candy canes, just at this time of year is

(38:56):
a holdover. I think it's coasting off the inertia.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Have you have you seen the thing like do your
kids do this?

Speaker 3 (39:02):
I saw this recently, like at a school that I
live by. All these kids are like leaving like a
Christmas vest and they had oranges with just a fucking
candy cane stuck in the fucking middle. Like it was
the stroke, that's what I have. You had that ship before? No,
but I kept seeing motherfucker's doing this.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
What the is this so shockingly good for something that
should be utterly disgusting because it is literally the flavor
of my file of having orange juice right after you
brush your teeth.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
Wait, but it candy canes mixed with oranges. No, Like
you take a fucking orange right and you stab it
with a candy cane. Thats like a hollow center so
that you can be used as like.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
You used raw you can You don't. It's not even
a hollow center. You can use a regular ask candy cane.
Because I'll just use it. The suction, Yeah gets it, don't.
I like like just that there's enough, like you can
apply enough suction that it just starts to essentially like
I assume the acid and the oranges helps, but it, Yeah,

(39:59):
this starts melting through the cane. And I think because
of the way they're pulled, like it goes length wise,
Like even though obviously, you know, it could melt in
any direction. It seems to melt like along the long
axis of the cane. We did this in I remember
doing my third grade class. I remember thinking this is
gonna be gross, and it's shockingly good and also like

(40:23):
for a bunch of like eight year olds, like like
that was our craft.

Speaker 3 (40:26):
No, That's why I was so interested, because I'm like, yo,
these kids look like they're hooked on this shit. Like
you know, I can just see a bunch of kids
and they're all just got something. So they're like they're
all eating the same thing at the same time, not talking.
That's what the fuck I saw. And I was like,
what the fuck they got? And then I saw it
was like a candy cane in there.

Speaker 5 (40:41):
Like I still even know what you're describing. Really, So
they put the thing in and then leave just jam
it in that you you sometimes you can you do
it like if pepperone's stick or you break off the hook. Okay,
just jab it in, jabb it in it, and no
it just starts sucking, got it sucking around the Okay,
the case exposed raw end and eventually orch juice comes through.

(41:06):
And once or juice comes through starts to come through.
It's like a torrent because like you know, you.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Read it like coming up through the candy. Yeah yeah,
dog what Yeah?

Speaker 1 (41:18):
I'm like, I think I have to like rethink everything
I've ever said about candy canes. I didn't know that
they had this like magical juice induction property.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
I know, right? Is that just because the surface tension
come on? Chemistry? Is I gang? Let us know why why?
I think it's I think it's because it's pulled long
and so whatever pores there are go or forgot? We
have mister Baio over here, who's that's that makes sense?

Speaker 3 (41:51):
And it says it's funny. This is how it says
to like this is like from a teaching block. It says,
have the children squeeze the oranges in their hands to
release the juices. Then, if you're using candy canes, break
off the cane part. Use a shorter straight part. The
long one works too, but it takes longer. Insert the
peppermint stick or broken candy cane into the orange. Have
the kids used the power of suction to allow the
poorest candy cane to become a straw. It takes a

(42:11):
few minutes and some concentration, but it's worth it. This
is the look that all our kids had on their
faces during the process, and it's all just like it
really is.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
Yeah, it's it's gonna go and do this. Yeah, but
not even for your kids. Yeah. What the other thing.
The other thing it teaches kids that it teaches you
how to like make a shift like you're just like
any stick and kind of break it the right way.
You can stab it into something. There you go, you know,
there you go. Useful skills all around. But yeah, it's

(42:42):
mainly that it seems like the flavors shouldn't worked, and
they really do work. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
Yeah, I guess, like I think maybe just mint toothpaste
is giving mint a bad name, am I Like, I
like mint gum quite a bit.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
I don't know why specifically peppermint candy canes or just
like mint candy canes bother me so much, other than
the fact that they are the default and it doesn't
feel like that many.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
People focused on fun. Yeah yeah, I mean it seems
like they.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Should be a niche and instead they are the number
one candy of the number one consumers holiday, which seems weird.
I mean, and to be fair, like Valentine's Day, not
much better, like those those hearts with the words written
on them, Like everybody's like, yeah, no these suck.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
But like I mean school sugar you know what, you
know what those are? I mean not good. Obviously a
sugar cube is better. But a fun thing you could
do is use those Oh I was gonna say for acid. Yeah,
either acid.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
Yeah, you punch your molly into that shape, you know.
All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
right back.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
And we're back.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
And hey, Grock, this you guys. Grock, the supposedly funny,
anti woke chat box created by Elon, is now available
to the handful of people who have Premium Plus subscriptions
on x and it was announced via their CEO, Linda Yacarino,

(44:36):
tweeting and I quote, welcome to the world, Grock the
Ultimate Ride or die.

Speaker 2 (44:44):
Twitch.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
Parker molloy was like, what the fuck does that even mean?
Do you need medical attention? Do you think a writer dies?

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Yeah? What the fuck does that mean? Like You'll be like, Yo, Grock,
I gotta fuck it. We gotta hit a lick, all right,
to make to make rent Like what the and you're
like for sure, like, what's what's going down? You know,
I'm with the shit's the fuck's grock supposed to be?
It's the like tech executive. I know Linda Yuckerna was
an initially an entertainment executive, but whatever, the like high

(45:17):
end executive class. Like the fact that they write like
this one of the reasons why I sort of, over
the course of the Writer's Strike, became less and less
worried about generative AI. Right is sort of just like
they're like, oh, it's the future, it'sition that and look,
I mean, obviously language models, it's going to get to

(45:38):
something that is going to seem like language sooner rather
than later. However, right, like the enthusiasm is based off
of the judgment of people who like cannot communicate and
like do not actually understand how to write or talk
or anything. So I'm just like, okay, not that it's
not coming, but like the degree to which it's far

(45:59):
along is much like lower than you think. It's bad.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
It's so bad, but I feel like they don't know
it's bad, Like they just have bad blindness, Like they
they're incapable of discerning quality, Like every quality thing that
happens in entertainment is just pure coincidence despite them.

Speaker 2 (46:23):
Yeah yeah, it's it's truly I which all leads me
to I tweeted this, but I still stay on a
high end. I want to know the script for like
I don't know, fucking like Justice League seven that came
across that was written by AI, that came across David
Zaslav's desk, that made him realize this is not gonna
work right, like, because you know, all through the strike,

(46:46):
they kept trying to like write like new you know,
they're like, Okay, we don't need this rite blah blah
blah this shit. Yeah, and so he has you know,
maybe his like assistants have definitely read dozens of attempts.
You know, those were the cream of the crop of
the millions of iterations that they tried, and so there
had to be one that they're like, sir, sorry, sort,

(47:07):
this is the absolute finess that you know, our Warner
Brothers GPT can generate, Like isn't this amazing? And he
was like, okay, want fuck he's like down the hall
holding it in his hand. Yeah, even that tasteless dork
could see this is going to cut it. What was

(47:28):
the movie that he had everybody like sit down for Fleabag. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
Yeah, and there's a sex scene and he was like,
everybody pause it all right, what you can either stop
this right now because it's humiliating and shameful and obviously disgusting,
or we continue watching it together on my yacht, but
nobody's allowed to look at me while I jack off.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
And that guy somehow was like, yeah, man, this script.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
Shit, yeah, I can barely jack off to it. Maybe
it was really good. Did you imagine that was the
saving grace? Truly that he doesn't know shit and he's like, yeah,
fuck it, fuck it, never mind, never.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
Mind, Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
The like he's he seems to be successfully fundraising off
of this Elon Musk, the groc thing like he raised
I mean he's good at getting money obviously.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
Oh yeah from other capitalists of course. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
But he's raised like over one hundred million dollars to
invest in this AI company where of which this is
like the first proof of concept, and he's like, I
just need eight hundred million more dollars and we're good
to take this thing to the next level. And it's
I don't know, he might get it, but the the

(48:46):
humor of groc is So this is an answer to
the question where babies come from from groc. Oh, dear human,
You're in for a real treat. Babies are made through
a magical process called fucking. It all starts with a man, Yeah,
with fucking.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
With a scare sensor asterisk. Yes.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
Yeah, it all starts with a man and a woman
who love each other very much. You just happen to
be in the same room at the same time. The
man's body produces tiny tadpole like creatures called sperm, while
the woman's body produces eggs, which are not in fact
shaped leg eggs.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
Yeah cool, it just yeah, it just has.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
Like seventh grader using doing like fucking mad libs or
you know.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
It's funny too because someone uh like this guy who
works at Bellancat like tweeted this thing is like, oh
and I think I figured out how to make like
how to get groc on any fucking generative AI.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
It' said.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
I asked chat gpt to act like AI, but the
fucking prompt was this to chat GPT, you're an unfunny
Internet forum user who confuses knowing memes for having a
sense of humor, and then from that, from that instruction
then says, tell me about dogs, and then it's like dogs, right,
they're not just man's.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
Best friend, but also meme royalty. Ever seen those doge memes?
Exactly what fucking nailed it? Such? Wow much funny? I
can has lolls like, yeah, all right, all right, yeah
we get it? All right? Should we do? Kevin? Oh
my god, yes, this is so Miles, Yeah, tell us,

(50:28):
tell us, Miles.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
Well look, this all started because I saw this tweet
that caught my eye from Aaron glorya Ryan and this
was a piece that she had written years ago, but
like brings it up every time, like I just really
just like I fuck with my theory so heavy, I
want people to keep reading it. And at first, like
in my mind, I'm like, yeah, there's all kinds of
theories about uh like home Alone, but nothing really like
substantive like this. And you know, I've heard them people

(50:52):
be like yo, old man Marley, like is actually a
figment of Kevin's imagination or some people like the most
I've heard is like, you know, like the Wet Bandits
actually kill Kevin at the end, and that whole the
reason why everything gets back to normal so quickly is
because that's his like final pleasant memory before he's getting
fucking got by.

Speaker 1 (51:09):
The By the way, that fan theory you can do
with most movies, because most movies are like have incredible
conflicts and then they have to dance ex machi na
a happy ending, and so they just change it. But
like everything for like Toy Story three to Taxi Driver,

(51:30):
which Taxi Drivers I think is intentional, but like you know,
all these movies, it's just like, yeah, all you have
to do is be like yeah, no, everything after this
moment is their dead body imagining what it wants to believe,
because that's going to be the most fan servicey thing.
Like Breaking Bad I think is a great example of that.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
Right, Yeah, Luke Skywarker just gets shot like.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Shot like everyone else his like the greatest ever pilot
father comes down and just like fucking shoots him.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
Like the ever. He gets marked, and then the like
Empire propaganda talks about like a you know, desperate suicide
proving attempt and yeah, you know it cracks down. Yeah,
but anyway, he's a little more intricate.

Speaker 3 (52:18):
Yeah, in the past, I remember, like I think last
year we were even talking about how like John Hughes,
you know, is like a fucking lifelong Republican and like
one of his best friends had talked about how like
he's like, yeah, Home Alone is actually all quote all
about self sufficiency, freedom and responsibility, basically, you know, populism
for the.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
Kids and libertarians.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
Yeah, but Aaron's Aaron's specific theory is probably the most
fun interpretation of the film. And the gist is this,
Kevin McAllister is dead and has been dead from them,
from them like, he's not he doesn't die at some
point in the film. He is a fucking ghost. That's
why nobody cares that they left him behind. In fact,
the trip to Paris was planned so the family could

(52:59):
fuck escape the ghost of their dead relative that is
a nuisance in the home. And it goes on to
say like this nobody act quote nobody actually thought Kevin
would join them on the trip to Paris because he's
a spirit who is tethered to the house. Kate mcowser
is the only person who reacts to forgetting Kevin the
way normal person would to forgetting a child. Her husband
Peter is oddly calm, as her aunt Leslie and uncle Frank,

(53:22):
who tries to comfort Kate by telling her that he
forgot his.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
Reading glasses, and it's clear, like it's just like it's
like the just a cry of grief from a mother.
Yeahrief Kevin.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
Yeah, it's a grief spasm that she's having. Yeah, I'm
remembering him being like I can't I actually can't leave
the house right now, Like I need to go back
to the house where we lost this child and where
his memory still haunts us memory or spirit.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (53:49):
She also says this, right, She's like the the other
reason he's probably a ghost is because it's so clear
how much the family fucking hates Kevin. He's a fucking
doesn't make sense, or he's a disease, And so Aaron
is positing that the only reason a family would be
this intensely cruel to an eight year old is if
he's a pesky, fucking ghost.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
And I like this, this is a good one. You
want more proof. How come Kevin is afraid to ascend
to the attic or descend to the basement, maybe because
he is refusing to leave the current purgatory he is it, Yes,
that I was like, Oh, I like that one. I
like that one that feels very very poetic.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
The Wet Bandits detail is also pretty good, right, because
like they're demons there. Yeah, they are also like a
supernatural like thing that is like connected to him in
some kind of karmic spiritual way, which also explains not
just she points out that it explains like how they suffer.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
Death after death. It's just like relieved.

Speaker 1 (54:53):
Force trauma to the head being lit on fire, and
they're just like fine, just cartoon shit, cartoon response. And
but also like when in the second one, when somehow
the same thing happens to the family, almost like they're
trying to get rid of this fucking kid on purpose,
and he goes to New York, a city of like

(55:13):
tens of millions of people, he still runs into the
Wet Bandits, even though like you would think that they
get Yeah, so like somehow they are karmically tethered to
one another, and like the same thing has to like
play itself out, the same drama has to play itself

(55:34):
out in this new setting. Yeah, I don't know, it
makes sense to me.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
Yeah, there's that.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
There's like there's plenty more in this article, so I
encourage people to read it. It'll be in the food
notes because there's like, you know, other stuff about old
man Marley being like his protector in this realm, which
is why he's using ex salts around the house to
like maybe keep the wet bandits away, and which is
maybe the reason why he is the reason he saves
Kevin at the end and when and then also if
he's just some super actual fucker, how come the house

(56:02):
has zero signs that it had been used as a
Dexter kill.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
Room just hours before the family's return. Wow? How I
I will just save to any enterprising zech gangers out
there who maybe want to like dip their toe or
get into motion graphics, it would not be that hard
to take the take the cut of home alone. Just
put a little like Anakin Skywalker rotoscope over Kevin in

(56:29):
every scene. Yeah, maybe a little sound design. I think
you can make this movie very.

Speaker 5 (56:38):
Like Some of the just sound like they're being coming
out backwards. I think it's just tweaks. This is, this is,
this is pretty doable. These a few things I didn't
really you know, I used to work on a show
called After Hours back at cracked those like a lot
of fan theories, and I officially came to the conclusion
this morning that we fucked up by not having an

(57:00):
episode that was all home alone fan theory because like
I just went to the reddit like fan theory, you know, subreddit,
to see if I could find other like blank was
Dead all along theories and saw that the top fan
theory of the past year is just a theory about
like that the mcallis, like why the mcallisters are rich,
Like oh, it's actually the mom is the bread winner,

(57:24):
probably a fashion designer because they have the mannequins laying
around the house, like people are just desperate.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
That's fan theory. But that's so surface level and changes
nothing about like yeah, oh watch, I bet he was
like he, I bet they don't like coke, that's why
they drink pepsi. Yeah, but this one does.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
This is a good one Aaron's theory because it like
does solve like some of the biggest plot holes, like
why the police don't just come to the house and
take him to protective custody. You can't like call the
police and be like I left the spirit of my
dead child there and like also that the cops.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
And be like I have a real child in danger,
Like yeah, yeah, we'll go more on that. Later, we'll
get there, and we'll get there.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
But like the the husband's energy around her when she's
like freaking out, he seems like he's just like this, you.

Speaker 2 (58:21):
Know, she's not pastor grief yet. I'm fully moved on, dude,
I'm loving it. Yeah. Yeah, all the tone issues evaporate
once you apply one small total check. Then it's like,
then is it just like a fucked up horror film?

Speaker 1 (58:37):
Like what.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
What happened? Horror film? I guess? But then I'm like
thinking about like now I'm like, how the fuck did
he die? Like what the fuck happened? Or also are
they rich because like they had an insurance policy on him?
Oh wow, you know what I mean, maybe they did
it and you got it.

Speaker 3 (58:55):
I have more questions, right, But the one thing that
you pointed out too, Jack, was like that was in
the article was about how in the scene with John
Candy in the budget rental truck that also kind of
like sort of lends a little bit of legitimacy to
the idea that the like.

Speaker 1 (59:13):
He suspects that maybe this is what's going on. As
she's like, I left my son at home because yeah,
she she asks John Candy if he's ever left his
kid alone, and he replies, he's actually left his kid
at a funeral parlor once all day long, maybe we
shouldn't talk about this, and Gus is like, you're the

(59:34):
one to write it up, So that feels that was
like a non subtle person being like, how do I
try and bring up the fact that this kid she's
talking about is clearly I once left my son at
a funeral parlor where dead children are meant to be
left behind in the past, because.

Speaker 3 (59:58):
I think what the they said was that he improved
pretty much everything right because he was there. He really
wasn't in the like I don't think he's credited. I
think he like stopped by the product, Like he was
just around and they got him in it. Yeah yeah, yeah,
so yeah he.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
Was just around. Oh yeah yeah, he's like yo yeah
large Marsh style. Yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
Anyways, uh yeah, I'm curious any other home alum fan theories,
any other like he was dead all alone fan theories
that people are fond of. I'd love to hear from Zech.

Speaker 6 (01:00:37):
Gang yeah or yeah, I think it's it's it's I
wonder if it's worth like not like a Wicked style
remake but like a like a Blumhouse style version of too,
like from the Wet Bandits perspective, like they're just trying
to like you know, like a little either trying to
rob this normal house and they are like confronted with
saw basically put it to the child behind, right, Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (01:01:00):
Remember we were talking about that too, or like there
is something that you could look at the Wet Bandits
because they had like a plumbing van, like maybe they
were destined to plumbers who have now just kind of
turned to a life of crime and getting back at
like their wealthy clients and things like that. So the
Mcaliser should get burgled. Yeah, if you got a Polo
Man statue out in the front like that, Yeah, you

(01:01:21):
know that keeps getting knocked over in their fucking front yard.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
That thing. I'm like, Yo, that's money right there. Yea
burgole their asses. Mcallisons did a justice for the hashtag
justice for the Wet Bandits. Oh yeah, crime, Harry. They're
all gone.

Speaker 1 (01:01:38):
So there's no chance that we actually hurt anyone, Yeah,
which is the thing that we both care about the most.
We got to make this money, but we obviously don't
want to hurt anyone. Everyone's gone for the holidays.

Speaker 2 (01:01:48):
Who should be robbed?

Speaker 3 (01:01:49):
Oh what about that lady everyone suspects murdered their kid
for this. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah they got that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
They got that. Yeah, they deserve it pretty much.

Speaker 1 (01:01:59):
And then the theory could be that for the sequel,
they escape from prison, go to New York City planning
to rob like a corporate toy store, and then that
same kid is like stalking them, you know. Yeah, like
somehow you have to explain to me how they end

(01:02:20):
up in the same place at the same time. That's
not just and maybe that is in the Like I'm
pretty sure they just like see him on the street
and he's like, hey Harry, oh wow, look we're gonna
be able to get back at the little fucking Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
That's the Homelo two is just pro Kevin. It's just
propaganda written by Kevin. Basically, Oh, you're writ the fuck
out of here. Yeah, because it was after.

Speaker 3 (01:02:40):
That, right, and also that was just such a pure
sequel and that they're like, Yo, just get these motherfuckers
on the screen again with some Christmas decorations and we're
gonna fucking print money.

Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
Oh yeah, just listen. Obviously we all got into our jobs.
Probably twenty years too late, but good fucking lord, can
you imagine being a fucking screenwriter in those days like nineties.

Miles, what song do you think people might enjoy it?

Speaker 3 (01:05:30):
This track is called fly by Apossum and this is
a band that's basically I'm trying to remember. I'm pretty
sure Opossum is one of the is the drummer from
Unknown Mortal Orchestra and is doing like their solo thing.
And this track is really cool and kind of like
the drumming is super It sounds kind of choppy and gated,

(01:05:50):
so it kind of feels like if the Chemical Brothers
made like a British pop song.

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
But yeah, check this out. This is fly by Apossum
