up and like and like draw or over it. Yeah exactly,
I want that life. I wanted to be like so much.

It's not that hard. It's just like you just need
to actually invest in like cities and public works and
not let rich people fucking vandalize your entire system. And

We're thrilled to have you here. We're gonna get to
know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're telling listeners a couple of the things we're talking
about today. There's a couple of tech stories that I
want to hit real quick in case Ed has something.
I'm springing this on on you, Ed, But I am
curious to hear what you think of the four chan
leak story.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
I did not see this full chant leak story, like
mentioned it to be today.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
I'm like, fuck, okay, yeah, I mean it's not it's.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Very deniability ed. I get it. I see what you're doing,
all right.

Speaker 5 (09:51):
I have the coat of a dog. I could not
hack anything.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
This is basically an offshoot of four chan like that
got banned. It was so bad, like four Chan band
that they planned and executed a complete hack is what
it looks like in leak of like all the information
of the users and mods. And there are a lot

(10:14):
of government dot gov emails in the database of users
who sign to speculate that four Chan was like a
c I a OP, which I find implausible, but anyways, that.

Speaker 5 (10:25):
Would be the story. Funny.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
I don't have a ton of information on that, but
I was curious of you.

Speaker 5 (10:30):
You know, there was a four four media thing, yeah
about an op where the FBI ran a money laundering rink.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah, hell yeah they did.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
They no, but they they There was a guy called
like Elon Musk, like Elon Musk something on.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
There and he was I think he was from ms Bloomberg.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
Yeah, it was something like that. It was, but he
ran a money laundering thing and they flipped him and
they used him. They used him to find it was
an insane four media rocks so much. It is an
insane story, like the kind of thing that like, it's
the kind of thing that people would like accuse the
government of doing right, Like it's great. It is crazy

(11:12):
what they did and apparently they were successful. I don't
really know for a media is great.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
We actually met the people. It's like a small number
of people and they're really cool.

Speaker 5 (11:22):
I got absolutely blasted after the awards with oh, you.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Probably, yeah, of course you want. I was gonna ask
why I didn't see.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
You at the oh because I did not want to
go after losing.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
What's louder?

Speaker 1 (11:36):
I'd be like, why the fuck did that guy?

Speaker 4 (11:38):
Wait?

Speaker 5 (11:39):
You know I would have I would have gone up
to Kevin rus and Casey Newton and said this will
be the last award you ever win and then leave,
and then they would have been like what what what?

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Open?

Speaker 5 (11:49):
Yeah, I'll be like, you'll find out and then back out,
even looking just like flow out the door. That's good.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
I know so little about the four Chance thing. I
spelled it f o r c ch An this morning.
I saw it and then I was like, I was like,
you know what, I do get laid all the chance
I've ever loved before.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
I do want to talk about this Elon Musk story.
Though it's pretty incredible.

Speaker 5 (12:21):
Him and just stinky goo. I don't like him.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
God, he just wants to fucking from the logo and
impregnate the whole world just off. Reaching out to people
on x whose posts that he likes and asking to
impregnate them is a thing that happens in this article.
It's just, you know, it's kind of hard to like,
I have a tough time feeling sorry for right wing

(12:45):
influencer Ashley Saint Clair, who is like one of the
people who had his babies, but like she's the main
source in this.

Speaker 5 (12:53):
Episode, works for the Babylon Bord exactly. So you've got
that's very funny, you do so she's good in comedy?

Speaker 1 (13:03):
O god, yeah's hilarious.

Speaker 5 (13:07):
Can you imagine the jokes between these people.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Oh my god, the comedy in that room would.

Speaker 5 (13:14):
Just like it's illegal brain two brain cells bouncing off
of each other at high speed? What if what if
it was he them? But it was also but it
was also a network. But she's like ha ha ha,
like just joyless.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Excuse me, she's the writer. Okay, let's not take that
from women.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yeah, she is brilliant.

Speaker 5 (13:37):
Definitely, he definitely was like, can you feed them some ideas.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
From a weird sci fi dystopian perspective. It's really a
fascinating read.

Speaker 5 (13:46):
It's fascinating because they completely accept all of the things
that Elon thinks without just positing that perhaps he's just
a disgusting horny of because that that makes way more sense, Like, oh, yes,
I'm trying to populate masks. It's like, fucking know, it's
not that at all. It's he wants to use his
power and money to fuck woman like he is he is.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
He also just sends them a sperm in some cases,
which is interesting to me.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
That's why did you say interesting way of delivery?

Speaker 5 (14:17):
Well, because one of the things that responds with people
people interesting, concerning.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Interesting, and then cry laughing emoji. I those are his
three modes. I I think it's interesting because, yes, the
the thing that would make sense is that he's just
trying to fuck as many people as he possibly can.
But the fact that he is going about it in
a workman like like he's just doing the paperwork.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Of getting like he's also been accused of IVF right
like in order.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
To accused of IVF.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, if you arrested right.

Speaker 5 (14:58):
In Texas.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Anyways, there's a lot of great detail in this Abouttle,
in this article about all this that I want to
get to.

Speaker 5 (15:04):
What's crazy as he has like five million children now whatever,
you never hear about him fucking right.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Yeah, this article actually has the first instance that I've
heard of about.

Speaker 5 (15:13):
Wait did I miss so?

Speaker 1 (15:14):
And I'm absolutely not going.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
To try Actually, yeah, they just grab it in great details.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
Musk winked like a pig, and they said, winkin pinin.
I'm Elon Musk. Wink has.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Kind has old gas is really awful, And I would
be saying very often.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Now I do know somebody Paths who is like dating
a billionaire cross paths with Elon Musk. Like Elon Musk
was staying at this like rich guy's house and they
were coming home to the house and rang the doorbell
and like Elon Musk came to the door in a
towel and oh god, sorry, I was too busy fucking

(16:00):
to the yeah to the young woman who is dated.

Speaker 5 (16:04):
Definitely, Yeah, yeah, exactly like he was definitely playing he was.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
The person who was playing Path of Exile sucking.

Speaker 5 (16:14):
Yeah, he was just signaling the guy it's like, you
also have sex.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
What's your rank? Like, what's your rank? Looking like right now?
You trying to open the to the glitterists. You can't
get it open.

Speaker 5 (16:26):
Some Russian guys being like I have plenty of six Okay, Yeah,
it's just like trying to explain sex. Three long Moscow
a signal.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
We'll talk about that. We'll also talk about Patrick Bateman
because it is the twenty fifth anniversary of the American Psycho,
and all context has been like what happened to Gordon
get go with the like greed is good, becoming a
thing that people are like that he was right, and
that's that's a that's my role model. Has happened to
Patrick somehow?

Speaker 5 (16:55):
Yeah, it's well, he's part of the greater joke of us.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
So the street guy.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
Yeah, it's the wolf of mister Wolf of Wall Street
from Wolf of Wall Street, Joker, the peak mister Peaky
Blinder from Peaky Blinders, right, all sorts of jokers. Well,
he is one of them, but also what's his name,
I'm Tom Hardy. Oh yeah, they the Peaky Blinders fellas
that they love them because for a while I used

(17:22):
to collect like miss like very poorly translated joker memes
like terrible English and stuff like. I just I have
hundreds of them in a folder like people have like
pornography and gross stuff. I'm just like, hey, check this out,
and it's like a joker.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
Picture, arguably worse.

Speaker 5 (17:39):
Yeah, it's like this, Like I'd be more likely to
scare away a woman with the Instagram things, but with those,
there is like this weird branch of like guys all
saying the same quotes like enjoy being alone. It's a
superpower and ship like that. It's hilarious. But the Patrick
Bateman's those have been there for a while.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah yeah, it's fully gone, like all the context is just.

Speaker 5 (18:03):
Oh god, yeah yeah. I messaged one of them. No,
I messaged one of them, one of the Jokamine accounts
because they like to call I had this theory for
a while that they well, many of the accounts are
called mister Villain, and I was trying to I did
like a full investigation to find out if Indian guys
thought that that's what the Joker was called, mister villain.

(18:25):
And I was never able because I had one guy
who was like, that's mister villain. I'm like, really, do
you really think that? He didn't respond. Another one said, oh,
it's joker right, kind of a kind of like a
child correcting you, Like, let me just.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Message my maga cousins, right.

Speaker 5 (18:42):
Burning skeletons as well. They love the skeleton ones. I mean,
god damn, just burning skeletons. It's the same quotes across
all of them. Sick, like you'll be like a big,
a big skeleton burning.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Is based.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
Actually, yeah, it's so strange and I don't look at
them anymore because I used to post them and I
like had fun with it, and then people just got racist,
and I was like, Okay, I'm laughing at this because
they're trying to be profound and they made a type
out not because of them not knowing English, Like this
isn't fun.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
I love the joker racism actually, and then the time
really threw me off.

Speaker 5 (19:19):
Yeah, I do it for pure reasons. And now I
put this energy into the tech industry.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
When you talked about the fact you collecting poorly translated
joker memes. I like pictured that wing in Bruce Wayne's mansion,
like where he has like all the ancient Yeah, like
you have a wing of your mansion. That's just poorly
translated joker means anyways, Uh, let's let's actually take a

(19:49):
quick break. We're gonna take a quick break. We're gonna
come back and get to know you a little bit
better at and uh get into Elon Musk's weird procreational habits.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
Will be good right back, and we're back and ed.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
We do like to ask our guests, what is something
from your search history that's revealing about who you are?

Speaker 5 (20:20):
So Robs, it's lyrics rob Sonic meaning so I've been
listen lyrics so meaning yes, so Rob Sonic is an
excellent rapper. However, I've been listening to him a lot,
and I sent to my mate Casey. I'm like, oh,
what do you think of this? He goes the lyrics
are nonsense? And they are, And the first result is
a Reddit post being like do these mean anything? And
people being like, I don't think so, and it's like

(20:43):
the phrases mean stuff, but together they do not. So
it was like reading that and being like, am I stupid.
Am I just like, am I is this like coca
melon for like white boys? Like like what is? And
I still listen to it? Rob Sonic boy, I love.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah, I'm not familiar with rob Sonic, but have you
gone to Genius and like watch people try to ascribe meaning.

Speaker 5 (21:07):
To entirely people just being like this one phrase means this,
and this one phrase means this.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Literally, this is what it means.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
Yes, like this is it? I respect it because it's
so fun to listen to. And I found him through
acep Rock, who is an excellent ex rapper and.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Of like fun word play that would that is fun
to look at on rap Genius.

Speaker 5 (21:30):
And one of their best one of the best rob
Sonic songs is kill Joy, which has acep Rock on it.
I cannot recommend it enough.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
All right, we'll check that out. What is something that
you think is underrated?

Speaker 5 (21:42):
So about two weeks ago, I had like a minor breakdown.
It's like I was just like cold, a friend crying
like it's the normal way.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
And more friends crying, by the way, that's underrated.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
They that's the only way I call friends.

Speaker 5 (21:55):
My wonderful, beautiful friends were very much there for me.
But I was like, I hit burnout, and one of
my anti burnout measures because I found myself just like
forcing myself to like listen to music with how I felt,
just like reinforce the feeling. So I've been listening to
albums through the whole way. That's my underrate.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
I think.

Speaker 5 (22:12):
I think people really need to like sit down and say,
I'm gonna listen to this thing front to back and
like see what a thing I've done it mostly successfully.
Like I've listened to a few like Inflames clay Man
Robsonics album I can't remember the name of. You can't
remember the name because none of the it's all nonsense.
So it's like, how would I possibly append meaning LPs
I'll Sleep when You're Dead, absolute banger, incredible. Then I

(22:35):
listened to the Blur's Great Escape, and that album does
not hold up at all. There was there's like four
or five really great songs and a lot of stuff
where you're just like, oh, I didn't listen to this
album through.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
You know what for a reason I just had I'm
actually not going to say that that would have just
destroyed my mentions for the rest of my life. But
there's a say it so for a lot of time.
Kend Lamar's Good Kid, Mad City. It has the highest highs,
has the highest highs of Kendrick's albums. But I just

(23:08):
went back and listened to it all the way through,
and there are some dead spots that I had totally.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
I'm going to burn down your house. I'm going to
burn your house down.

Speaker 5 (23:18):
There're just a.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Couple of dead spots that I totally reatten out of
my memory. I do. I have one album that I
just consistently listened to all the way through and it
gets better and better every time, which is Blonde by
Frank osh Not. I can't stop.

Speaker 5 (23:36):
Its great album.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, are you okay?

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Are you mental?

Speaker 3 (23:40):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (23:41):
I don't think.

Speaker 5 (23:43):
Wrong in my case, no one album I will recommend that.
I don't think anyone else will have mentioned. But if
you like jazz, Charles Mingus is Black Saint and The
Sinner Lady is one of my top three albums of
old time. And I have not sat down and listened
to that all the way through in like twelve years,
and I was like brought to tears by. It's fucking incredible.
But yeah, this has been like a I've really been

(24:05):
avoiding doing it for no good reason, just like listening
to music to poke my brain to feel better rather
than enjoying it. And it's just been it's been lovely,
been really enjoyable.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
We just had yesterday's guest, Jody Averergan, who is like
releases a new podcast every week, like a new like
entire different podcast every week. Has a new show called
Winter Album Summer Album, which is long you go through
and talk about albums and from that perspective you like
categorize them, which I thought was kind of a fun

(24:35):
way to think about stuff. But we're an album podcast
these past couple of days talking a lot about albums.
I agree with this though, that this is a yeah,
I'm a dork though, Like, yeah, you have.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
You read Questlove's Momenta Blues.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
No, I've heard.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
It's like it's so good and it's like an autobiography
kind of and it talks about like from when he
was like a toddler on but like every chapter is
interspersed with like letters to and from the roots manager
and then also with all of his recommendations of albums
from that year, so like from when he was like
four or five, like the albums he would recommend from

(25:14):
that year and why like how they're ranked. So like
every year of his life, he has albums recommendations.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Hell yeah, somebody asked the list of those online somewhere ed,
what is something you think is overrated?

Speaker 5 (25:27):
I feel like I might have said this before. I'll
say again in alt Berger fucking sucks, give a ship.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
I hate La Kendrick in and out Burger.

Speaker 5 (25:37):
Also, one of the albums I listened through fully lost
week was GNX It's fucking brilliance G.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
So this is what I was saying is basically, you
are me too.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
I'm going to be on and I'm going to Kendrick.

Speaker 5 (25:49):
I'm going to Kendrick. But I've got like seats as well.
So when we sitting the set there with my arms
followed up lovely tapping.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Saying like good Kid, Mad City. Compared to the more
recent Kendrick albums that I've been listening to more consistently,
I was just like, this might not be my number
one Kendrick Albuman, Okay.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
You hate black people.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
What you're saying basically what I'm saying pure.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
The White Supremacist podcast right now, is that what you're saying,
basically I'm saying it's mad. Did I just hear you
say that.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
He's mid? I think Kelly rolling the better.

Speaker 5 (26:29):
Actually the other day I drump. Everything's horrifying right now,
But I will admit I loved really hard at be
I was like crying, but I was like, oh god,
the only thing, yes.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Matto, the best fucking soundboard, Like just if that guy
could just be a soundboard, you know.

Speaker 5 (26:55):
He was just like a an access Hollywood reporter, right,
Oh my god, can you imagine that, just like a giant?
Was the fella from Saturday Light Live made that joke
because on like a talk show he was like, got
the cooks? James Johnson, Yes, exactly, he is so good.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
He saw I was doing open mics with him and
then he went to assenal with Trump.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Do you guys have you seen the so when Trump
was running for president the first time, I was at
cracked and Cody Johnson was obsessed with Like Donald Trump
had a YouTube account that was that was just full
of videos with about like three hundred views per video

(27:42):
of him just going direct to camera from his office
in Trump Tower just being like Rabbit Pattinson, you gotta dump.
Oh yeah, dwe it too, right, But it was just
it was like wildly unpopular, and it was just him
like popping off with his pop call sure Takes, which
is like all he wants to do, Like we failed

(28:04):
that man. If it's literally his like Hitler getting rejected
from our school was like this failed YouTube. There were
thousands of videos over the course of like years that
had no views. Like, and he's one of the most
famous people in the world already. He just sucked at
being a YouTube person, like a YouTube entertainment. Yeah, exactly.

(28:29):
It's so wild that, like he this person who everyone's like,
he's just got great instincts for what he couldn't even
launch a YouTube channel.

Speaker 5 (28:38):
Yeah, I would have it's a hard gossip show from him,
Like that would have been grinding.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
I would have soldthing him and Wendy Williams if they
had a podcast together. I would lose my mind.

Speaker 5 (28:49):
One of his best tweets was the sissy Graydon Carta one.
He's oscar I need to find this one.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Oh yeah, he was so Graydon Carter the former editor
in chief of Fair and like kind of New York
it guy. He's like he doesn't gets dinner with Lorne
Michaels all the time like that sort of like New York.

Speaker 5 (29:08):
I'm going to read this out, sissy, Graydon Car to
a failing vanity Fair magazine and an owner of bad
food restaurants has a problem restaurants bad food. His VF
Oscar party is no longer hot, and hot is in
quotation marks, and it's an incredible post. I think, yeah, yeah,

(29:29):
he was just being fucking devastating.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Rights so saucy.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
He's so he just was just so trans just like
so transparently willing to just be obviously like mad at
these people like this was I think the night that
the Oscars were said something mean about him, and then

(29:55):
he comes back and is like this party that I
could never get invited to is lame.

Speaker 5 (30:01):
Like that's the thing that would offend Graydon Carter, right,
Graydon Carter, the idea that the Oscar party was not
hot would actually be the kind of thing that would
offend a socialite rather than any other insult. Right, So
that's the kind of thing that hurts. And I think
that his appeal is partly that he's so obviously embittered
about every single person who's been routine ever and he's

(30:23):
so catty and childish about it. Yeah, that appeals to
a great many right wing people. He's true, they just
usually keep it a family care.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yeah, that's right. All right, we're not even gonna get
to your in and out takes. The in and out.
I don't know if you've said it before. I will
say that, Oh my god, it has.

Speaker 5 (30:41):
An adorable cat on avoid the in and out takes.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
It is the number one probably overrated that we've had
on this podcast with people.

Speaker 5 (30:51):
I'm so. I just had it again recently and it
was just so underwhelmed.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
It's underwhelming unless like, the thing that I think is
great about it is the price. Like it's a good
price for what it is. It's okay, you get it
for the same price as a McDonald's hamburger and it
has like fresh lettuce and tomatoes on it, and like
the so.

Speaker 5 (31:14):
But I also don't get McDonald's because it's fresh, right,
I gotta be I.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Gotta be honest. I don't eat in and Out because
I'm vegan, but I do have anger towards you not
liking it because of la I'm just like, nobody should
eat meat. But also, fuck you, look at the little
ads on the lines. Are you gonna be I.

Speaker 5 (31:37):
Might have mine, who's an LA journalist as well. I
posted about going to a restaurant or Hamburg or America
in New York could be shocked. Really so Hamburg is there,
and he got so angry at me for saying it
was one of the best burgers. He was like, no,
you're gonna come to LA. You gonna and he listed
me all of these different food restaurants.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
So I'd never heard of restaurant foodt I was a
very bad food restaurant. Yeah, Hamburger America is not good enough.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Hamburger America sounds like something another country would make make
or like something Trump would be like, we won't take
disrespect were Hamburger America.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
He's eating a Hamburger America. Total fucking mafia shell.

Speaker 5 (32:18):
That's what he thinks that McDonald's is called.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Yeah, yeah, that's like Cogan. Hamburger America like just feels.

Speaker 5 (32:29):
That's George Mott's though he's cool. Yeah, I like Hamburger America.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Nice. All right, listen, hey, speaking of American things more
American than apple pie. Patrick Bateman, the American psycho himself, folks.

Speaker 5 (32:41):
He's just.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
It is the twenty fifth anniversary of American Psycho.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
It' that's how I measure all time. Actually, I'm like,
how long has it tied?

Speaker 2 (32:51):
It's twenty five ap twenty five years after American Psycho.
But yeah, so apparently it was a movie and a
book before it was a creepy in cell meme generator.
And I've read the book.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
It's all.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
I've watched the movie. It's all very transparently satire, but
it's it's being embraced by actual Wall Street bros by
a lot of in cells online, despite the fact that
Christian Bale is very clearly making fun of them.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
It is like when Colbert like he was popular with
Republicans and Democrats. You know, it's like people are just dumb, dude,
people are so dumb.

Speaker 5 (33:35):
I will say American Psycho. I watched it. I did
not know it was the satire. I just thought it
was like a thrill over a man was horrible, right,
It's like the same thing happened with Neon Genesis Evangelia
And I watched it when I was a teenager, and
I didn't that shows apparently about depression or something. I
was like, damn, these robots are fucking cool. I'm like,

(33:58):
I'm like this is so cool, this weird Tolkien ship.
I'm just gonna choose to ignore.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yeah, maybe rob Sonic does have legitimate lyrics. You just
don't just really, I'm just like I lack like some
moving images and sound.

Speaker 5 (34:12):
I have a cognitive issue where I just can't understand.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Bro go to a doctor or something happening.

Speaker 5 (34:17):
I remember watching American Soccer's be like, oh that was horrible. Yeah,
that was wow. He hurt that guy.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yeah, I think I.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Didn't know enough about.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
I think I didn't know enough about Like I was
too young when I watched it. I'm so young and
be beautiful and like, I didn't know exactly what it
was like back then. But looking back on it, you're
very much like, either this is satire or this is
like not a good guy, not someone you aspire to be. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (34:45):
I definitely come out of it being like he's like
me for real, We're.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Just My life's like a movie and that movie is American.

Speaker 5 (34:54):
Like my life a movie. Oh, brother, were aren't though
one thing.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
That I had like I hadn't. I haven't seen the
movie in a long time, but I now I'm recalling
that like a big like the book will spend an
entire chapter like writing rapturously about like a genesis and
like their latest like pop album and who like go
into deep detail about his like facial routine, like his

(35:24):
you know, skincare routine, which is now like so it
to like re experience that part of the satire and
it's like now gone so mainstream. Like he he wakes up,
he does a thousand crunches, He does like a one
hour long, nine step skincare routine, and like.

Speaker 5 (35:45):
I feel like, now come across in the movie, I
feel like that's just.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
Wait, that's like Ashton Hall that video of.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Yeah yeah exactly, it's just what what like influencer like
man o sphere culture is murder a bit, right, So
you actually have to wake up at three am.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
One you have to wake up at three am and
drink water that costs eight dollars.

Speaker 5 (36:09):
A bottle and handed to you by a person.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yeah, a person, somebody.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
We're gonna need at least ten thousand of the thank you.

Speaker 5 (36:18):
But it sounds like the book does a much better
job of explaining how much of a ridiculous character he is.
And I don't remember the movie doing that, Like it
had very like a pretty I think.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
It would be worth re watching because it's pretty I
had the exact same experience when I was younger, and
I was like, wait, I don't like this guy, but
it's about him. This sucks, And I was.

Speaker 5 (36:42):
I'm British, I'm very much used to not liking anything
like the characters, right, so it's very much like I
was very like, oh an anti hero, like this is
a right, yeah, this is like like this is I
can understand that this guy is a bad guy, but
he's the main guy.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
And the thing Americans see a character they're like rich,
good guy.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
Yeah probably really, I really think they have a tough time.
We have a tough time disconnecting like financial success from worth,
like we just have to be like that's who I
want to be. And he does have nice shit, and
he does look like objectively as he does have sex,

(37:22):
but like while he's having sex, he's like looking at
himself in the mirror and like so he has self respect,
so he looks sick. I had so the cool in quotes.
Kids at my college were lacrosse players, and I always
was like they just had this cartoon image of them
as just being these like psycho bro like weirdos. And

(37:45):
then like one time my senior year, I happened to
like get drunk with one of them and like go
hang out with them afterwards, and they put on American
Psycho and just start and just started talking about how
cool Patrick Bateman was.

Speaker 5 (38:00):
I'm like, wow, you.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Guys are actually the thing. You're the thing that I.

Speaker 5 (38:06):
I really I love. I was hoping they weren't that
many people who truly.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Believe this, but this was a long time ago.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
This is a skill.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
I mean, like the number of like in cel dudes,
you know, or the number of people that were worried
about in gen z. You know, it's just getting worse
with these alpha male influencers. So it makes sense that
they would take these characters.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
Not all.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
It's a combination of everyone. I mean, he's not helping,
but also like the like the Matrix thing, like getting
red pilled, right, and like how the people who made
the matrix were like, this is not what we intended.

Speaker 5 (38:41):
All I love it because the red pill red pill
thing is like did they stop watching the movie when
he took it?

Speaker 2 (38:49):
They're like, okay, I.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
Switched to my favorite romantic comedy Americans.

Speaker 5 (38:55):
Yeah, And then he became Patrick Bateman and that he
is also the matrix and three equilibrium.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Yeah, now there's a movie equilibrium.

Speaker 5 (39:04):
Oh yeah, gun gosh, but you've never sai.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
Oh I've got shit out of that one man.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
I said that movie.

Speaker 5 (39:10):
That's it's so dumb. It goes like it's like a dumb.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Guy version of nineteen eighty four. Like they I think
they read the cliff notes of nineteen eighty four, right,
they didn't actually read nineteen eighty four.

Speaker 5 (39:23):
What if we had no emotions?

Speaker 1 (39:25):
But if we watched it now, it would still be
better than like a lot of movies.

Speaker 5 (39:30):
Yes, it is actually kind of an esthetically interesting movie,
but the po is basically like what if we had
what if we didn't? If we all didn't have emotions,
but then the guy kind of did, and yeah if
he also did gun kung fu?

Speaker 2 (39:41):
What if guy did? So the whole thing is the
best way to actually fight someone is not pointing a
gun at them and shooting them with the gun. It's
actually doing kung fu with a gun.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
So you have to lay yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah
that's the Batman method. Okay, we if we love like
you like punch your you're like doing the moves with
a gun, the gun in your hand.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
You have the gun in your hands, so it's moving
around in weird directions. Don't kill people, people kill people,
kill people? Is that the name of the is?

Speaker 5 (40:15):
It's actually.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
And it's wow. So that's funny.

Speaker 5 (40:20):
Imagining a fictional time when all the men in the
world are heavily repressing their emotions leading to great violence.
I don't know what would that be like, that's right, yeah,
but you'll never know.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
I guess everybody be wearing weird turtlenecks and doing gun
kotta because I can't imagine it happening.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
In our world.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Honestly, you're really selling the movie for me. It is
like the part of me that loves Fight Club is
like really into what you're pitching right now.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
But I've seen it when I was nine years old.
It would have changed the trajectory of my life.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
You would have been getting drunk with them freshmen watching
American Psycho.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
All right, let's take a quick break, and when we
come back, we will get into Elon Musk's weird repopulate
attempts to repopulate the earth. We'll be right back, and

(41:18):
we're back, and we're back and so I think we're
all aware that Elon Musk has like too many children
with lots of different people.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
Just give me three more children. I just need three more.
Come on, if I get three more, I won't take
over the world, I promise so.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
Right now, he has fourteen children that we know of,
and this article says multiple sources close to the Tech
Entrepreneur said they believe the true number of Musk's children
is much higher than is publicly known. So fourteen is
the very low end estimate. And like he by with
Musk child, I would not go on a first date

(41:59):
without getting to know tested.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
He's so scared.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
He's just they're all Elon Musk's children, or we're all
we I find out I'm somehow Elon Musk's child. Yeah,
he he has Genghis Khan numbers in his eyes.

Speaker 5 (42:16):
Yeah, he is like Genghis Khan, except he doesn't. Really.
The only way he takes over things is like by
just throwing money at them versus being strong in any way.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
Yes, yeah, yeah, exactly. It's the It is the equivalent
of being strong now is being a billionaire who.

Speaker 5 (42:32):
Even if he has tripled the amount of kids, that's
the drop in the bucket to the amounts.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
Cons don't give him any ideas about buckets. Okay, that's
next on his list of how to approach this sperm
by mail, sperm and buckets.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
I do just want to talk about that though, because
so his whole pitch here that this article kind of
takes at face value is uh. I'll just so this
article is partially an interview with actually Saint Clair, who
is the right wing influencer who he started dating, got
pregnant and then immediately was like, I don't even know

(43:08):
if that's my kid, and like, you can't say it's
my kid, and she was like, what are you talking about?
You specifically like said I want to make you pregnant.
Got the exactly, Like just so obvious. It also like
introduces this new character who's like Elon Musk's like bag Man,
Like Elon Musk's Michael. Yeah, he's a Mormon guy.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
What's in.

Speaker 5 (43:33):
It?

Speaker 2 (43:35):
But all right, so I just want to read some
of these segments from this Wall Street Journal article. Musk's
baby making project is relevant to his ambition for NASA,
which he wants to move faster to go to Mars.
He said on X that making people multiplanetary is critical
to ensuring the long term survival of humanity in all
life as we know it. In Musk's dark view of

(43:55):
the world, civilization is under threat because of a declining population.
He is driven to correct the historic moment by helping
seed the earth with more human beings. When according to
people print familiar with the matter, Musk refers to his
offspring as a legion, a reference to the ancient military
units that could contain thousands of soldiers and were key

(44:17):
to extending the reach of the Roman Empire. So just
get an awfully eugenicsy up in.

Speaker 5 (44:24):
Why legitimize any of this nonsense? Why not just say
elon Musk claims this and then just be like, this
doesn't make any they do, This doesn't match how legions
are built. But go to like a Roman note.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
On Twitter because they were why guying to him?

Speaker 5 (44:45):
But the thing is, you could the way to running
a p off on myself knowing a lot about the media.
The way to I do this would call a Roman
Empire expert, call one to be like, is this resembling
any kind of legion? And just sit there and break
that instead of just like printing exactly what he thinks
and trying to romanticize his horny bullshit instead of like
just being like this weird guy with a lot of

(45:07):
money loves getting random woman impregnated, and it's definitely how
you say that, Aluminium, and like he just does this
and then has weird this weird Mormon guy, which they
kind of get into, but they just they legitimize it.
They act as if this is a rational thing versus describing.

(45:28):
If you described a random guy, you knew it's like, yeah,
my buddy Steve, he has fifteen children, He's got a
lot of money, though, but he says he's doing it
because it's like the Roman Empire. You'd be like, this
Steve guy sounds insane, But because it's Elon Musk, who
sounds insane already, you're like, yeah, it makes sense.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
Yeah, it's the idea of like journalism is not hearing
someone say it's raining outside and printing that it's looking
out the window and determinate if it's actually raining or
not exactly.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
Yeah, I just later on articles that. Speaking to an
audience at an investment conference in Saudi Arabia last year,
Musk laid out the urgency of the matter. I think
for most countries, they should view the birth rate as
the single biggest problem they need to solve. If you
don't make new humans, there's no humanity and all the
policies in the world don't matter. So I just want
to Definitely, the big unspoken thing in this article is

(46:21):
that the global population is going up and continues to go.
Like this idea that we're running out of humans is
just a white supremacist trope with they and also what
we meant to do with all the fucking kids.

Speaker 5 (46:36):
You've shut down every social service right.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
Also, you're fucking killing Palestinian kids. You're assisting in that,
and that's okay because he said most of the countries,
so he probably doesn't acknowledge them as a country or
like the people. It's so infuriating to watch this shit.
I like, it makes me so mad when people talk
about like it's in a similar vein of like religious
fanaticism about like saving people beyond like people who go

(47:02):
to like remote islands to try to convert tribes.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
And like actually bring so much better than this.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
Actually, I know it's like on a large its just
it's the arrogance and the egos, like I'm better than
that it's so strict.

Speaker 5 (47:13):
I don't think he believes any of this. I don't
think he's fucking having like trying to have sex with
woman on Twitter and impregnating them because he believes he's
repopulating the world's once the slingiest goo using his power
and status. Woman accept it because it gives them financial stability.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
I keep hearing you say woman.

Speaker 5 (47:37):
Or I mean it's referring to the woman who are
being impregnated.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
I know, I just I just was hearing it instead
of like women.

Speaker 2 (47:48):
Woman have sex with woman, man have sex with woman.

Speaker 5 (47:52):
But it's this, This is something you see with all
of these tech fuck wits where it's you take them
and you say, oh, the reason they're doing it is
the is the they want to do Roman Empire legian ship,
and that is a big there's a big rational thing.
Instead of saying, we have multiple different people who are
billionaires who say insane stuff and we accept it on

(48:13):
face value. Instead of saying, this guy who has all
of this power is acting insanely erratically. He has money,
He has money. Patrick pap published towards the end of
last year his who Ketamine thing. I don't know if
we ever tried having two thoughts at the same fucking time.

(48:34):
I can't do it. That's why I listened to Rob Sonic.
But the thing is, it's it's just infuriating because when
you actually read the things they're saying and listen to
the rationalizations, they are completely irrational. Completely You had a
regular person say these things to you, you would say
you are actually I'm concerned about you. If a regular

(48:56):
these are right wing talking points. But I don't even
think he's that new. I think he's just like things
like I would love to have him. It's a power thing,
it's a dominance thing. He's just doing it to oah.
And the rest of the story you can kind of
see with how Ashley sent Claire was treated, that he
starts using money and starts reducing the amount of money

(49:16):
that she would get from him for his fucking child, Yeah,
because she won't sign an NDA, And it's like, it's
not about the kids, it's not about the impregnation. It's
about power, dominance and control and to show that he
can do this. This is a guy doing a very
guy thing by dressing it up in the trappings of
history and strategy. It's an insult to the intelligence of

(49:39):
the reader, but I guess maybe not with the amount
of fucking people that believe this shit.

Speaker 2 (49:43):
Yeah, So I do just want to like emphasize the
global population is going to keep increasing until mid twenty eighties,
the only.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
Which climate change will take it out.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
When he talks like according, yeah this this is according
to the UN, but it's probably not taking into account
how many people are going to die from climate change
caused by people like Elon Musk. But when you are
talking about whenever somebody talks about the population like a
population decline problem, they are like talking eugenics because that
the population is going up in Africa and India, like

(50:21):
just am we like it's going down in white skinned countries.
That's all they're talking about. That it's ugenics. That that
is essentially I like to sing eugenics like by men.

Speaker 5 (50:35):
And no eugenics.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
It's it's fucking wild and it's coherent. I think it's
pretty coherent though. I think it's I think it's just
like he like when it's a different like it's coherent
in the sense that the Nazi ideology was going when
you take his Nazi salute, the fact that he's really

(50:58):
worried about pot elation decline when the only thing that's
declining is like the population in some countries, like with
white people, like and the fact that he, like I
just feel like we're not far from him suggesting sterilizing people.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
From like a you know, like I wouldn't be surprised
if he's already working on it, Like I would not.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
Like it feels just so straightforward that this is just what.

Speaker 5 (51:26):
It is, Yeah, which is kind of why I think
dressing it up in the trappings of strategy is so insulting,
because it's like, if you just describe it as what
he is saying lines up with this, this, this, and this,
that's an honest three. But when you start talking about it,
you start taking his ideas at face value, right, it
doesn't make sense. Like the reason I mentioned the Roman

(51:47):
Empire thing is not just to be a dick, it's
you know, what you're going to do a legion? What
is a legion? How is a legion structured? What is
the purpose of the Romans had war strategy? Why did
a legion exist? What was the alternative to allegian? Different things?
Because a legion would are they even a colonizing entity?
I'm just I'm being patantic because this is the shit
he pretends he knows, but he very fucking clearly doesn't.

(52:10):
They're all like this oldman Amada, all of these assholes.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
But that's like what right wing logic is. Like if
you look at even like from a financial perspective, which
I hate doing because humanity, But if you look at
things from like a compassionate perspective of like human empathy,
it lines up with like what's best for the economy
with what's best for like financial stability across the board.
But because people don't want to do that, you know,

(52:36):
like people in these upper classes would rather just like
bleed dry everyone and not care about the longevity of
their generations coming up, or anybody's or the earth. They
don't give a fuck about logic, like, so they have
to work their way around it and pitch it the
way that they want to. But if you like take
care of like unhoused people, it's less on the healthcare

(52:57):
system for them to go to the emergency room like
a bunch of times, you know what I mean, Like
it all lines up legion right there.

Speaker 5 (53:02):
Yeah, And also legions apparently have legionaries, so there's ten cohorts.
I like the real thing to be, like, mister Musk,
do you have a cohort? Are you building a cohort
right now? What's the plant? Seriously? I know it sounds ridiculous.
These guys have never been faced with questions like this,
like just basic questions about anything.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
They say it's his good guy obsessed with the Roman
Empire versus bad guy thinking about every man is thinking
about the Roman Empire.

Speaker 5 (53:34):
I'm not. This is the first time I've thought about
the Roman Empire since the last time someone brought up
that literal point because someone asked Jensen Huangavian video out
on stage, and I must say, that's a fucking stupid question.
You should never ask a person that.

Speaker 3 (53:48):
Ever.

Speaker 5 (53:48):
It's so stupid that these fucking see I'm just doing
a random fucking podcast, aren't I But it's just like
no one ever asked them actual real questions to help stop.

Speaker 2 (53:57):
One of that, because he actually comes out and says
it here separately, Musk has said he is concerned about
what he called third world countries having higher birth rates
from the US and Europe. Person familiar with the conversations
that one of the most important ways to change these
dynamics he has repeatedly told people close to him, is
for educated people to have more children. Like, that's so evil.
Education isn't hereditary, you absolute fucking gool, It's just a

(54:21):
matter of opportunity. And by concentrating global wealth in the
hands of like you and a bunch of like emotionally
destroyed sperm babies that you like gave birth to and
then abandoned and like tied their moms up in like
fucking legal in like court cases, Like you're taking away

(54:42):
money you could be donating to help millions and billions
of people who already exist get more educated. But he doesn't, like,
he doesn't believe they're capable.

Speaker 1 (54:53):
He's just even in his mind though that lot even
if that's what he actually believes, that education is the
most important thing. Palestinians are like one of the most
educated groups of all time because of like their their
attempt to survive, So like him not lending humanity to
them already inherently undermines his point.

Speaker 5 (55:12):
Yeah, yeah, but he doesn't really see them as.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
Human exactly, That's what I'm saying that.

Speaker 2 (55:18):
Yeah, it's also interesting that he's like so like he
I do just have to Musk offered his sperm to
Zillis and the two have four young children together. So
this is this is not somebody. This is just somebody.
Would you like he's just pulling up from down from
long distance and impregnated, you know, just like through the mail.

(55:41):
He's impregnanting these people like Kobe, Yeah, exactly with the wrist.
But he he talks about like how this is all
about his project and to your point at about him
being like, you know, this is all me just like
trying to like create the smartest fucking babies in the world.
He also just like will hit people up on X

(56:02):
like he This is a direct quote from this Wall
Street Journal article. Well must post sometimes dozens of times
a day on X about right wing politics or his companies,
among other things on his mind. He often interacts with
lesser known users. He replies to them and sometimes interacts
through direct messages, some of whom he eventually solicits to
have his babies. According to people who have.

Speaker 1 (56:22):
Viewed, most fuck boys are like you up. He's like you, Nazi.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
Follows you, Nazi, eugenics you ovulating the three elon Musk
questions what's great?

Speaker 6 (56:38):
Though?

Speaker 5 (56:38):
Is Well not great? Probably the opposite is I imagine
it's not great just hearing from him in these like
because he's already proven he will just fucking destroy people.
So it's like the comeie of soar on upon you,
Like like if you're an attractive woman and he damns you,
you know that this ends with like his nasty go
being brought up at some point you and if you

(56:59):
say no, I imagine, and he will have a perfectly
rational and calm response. But like if but he will
be to destroy you. So if you say yes, he will.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
If you say yes, there first of all, he there's
a chance that once you're pregnant, he'll be like, sorry,
ain't mine, and then you have to Like that's what
happened with Saint Clair. She had to get a praternity
test after he was like I want to get you pregnant,
like we're gonna build a legion of babies. And then
once she was pregnant, he was like, not sure it's mine,
So she had to get an eternity test. It did

(57:29):
say it was his. But then so you say yes,
there's all these like legally binding weird things that happened
to you, and then he tries to move you down
to a compound with his other baby. Mama is in
Waco or in. Sorry it's not Waco, it's Austin, but
it might as well be.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
D's a sex cult.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
Yeah, Birchall, So this is from the article I do
just want to so Birchall is the name of the
Mormon dude who is like his Michael Clayton fixer kills people,
probably for him. Allegedly. I just made that up. Don't
sue me. Birchall was involved in acquiring the property for
a compound in Austin, where Musk imagine the women and
his growing number of babies would all live among multiple residences.

(58:15):
According to a person familiar with the matter, he has
involved in other property deals across most different businesses. Zillis
lives in the gated community with their children, and Musk
comes and goes. Musk also attempted to get Grimes to
move to the compound, but she refused. Similarly, he tried
to get Saint Clair to spend some time in Austin
with our kid legion in quotes. According to a text
he sent her, Birchall sat on on the December call

(58:38):
with Saint Clair. The nbas are necessary. We have been
through way too too many issues where to not sign
some agreement associated with handing over fifteen plus million dollars
is absolutely insane and responsible. Blah bla blah. He added
that his boss cannot allow people to just go and
share his life information. He's the biggest lightning rod on
the entire planet. When Birchall told Saint Clair that other

(58:59):
mothers signed similarly secrecy agreements, she observed that they didn't
seem happy. Zillis, Birchill said, goes in and out of
finding contentment, but Grimes wasn't ever going to find true happiness,
just the whole You all move on to a compound,
and then I criticize your ability to find contentment. Is

(59:19):
it's real, like Guru shit, it's real, like yeah, I
feel like you give a man too much power. And
this is where it always fucking ends, is them on
a compound. It's almost the harem of women where he's
like trying to impose his spiritual beliefs on them.

Speaker 5 (59:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
And I've never been more grateful to be not white
than I.

Speaker 5 (59:43):
It's just shiv On Zillas is kind of an interesting
character because she was at Neuralink and she's just kind
of like, yeah, fuck it, show how Donna need you want? Yeah, yeah,
fuck it. Yeah I'll be that, I'll meet the PM
of India.

Speaker 2 (59:55):
That was meant she's in the picture with Mody and
therefore can On.

Speaker 5 (59:58):
Some level, I'm sure it's terrifying and she's drapped and
it's horrible, But on some level, I bet she's just like,
fuck it, I'm set for life. Nothing will happen to me.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
I I mean I worry about the kids, like children,
for the.

Speaker 5 (01:00:12):
Kids even more normal than any child has ever been.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
Well. Vivian, his daughter, who's trans and who's been like
estranged from him, is like really fucking smart and really cool.
Uh at like twenty, which is so nuts. So like,
if if she can get away from like that whole scene,
then I hope that, like his other kids will not
just grow up to be evil. I mean, he's not

(01:00:39):
giving them the money to be an evil overlord, so
maybe they'll avoid it. You know.

Speaker 5 (01:00:45):
I also don't think, well, because he doesn't appear to
have introspection of any kind. I don't think he realizes
that a lot of these children will grow up and
read these articles and be like, Wow, my father is cool.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
Well, he'll be on.

Speaker 5 (01:00:55):
Markw Oh cool. Yeah, he's like Patrick Babe on my
other hero. Like, what the fuck? What do you mean
mi that? How many brothers and sisters do I have?

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
Yeah? No, that's what I mean. Yeah. They interview some
of his current like kind of adult you know, over
eighteen children and they're like, yeah, I have no idea
how many like half brothers have sisters? They have and
it's weird, weird, weird world. They don't seem to love them,
but I'm sure, like it'll be good once he has

(01:01:25):
total control over them.

Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
Do you remember that article that came out when he
like got divorced and then I think got with Brian
or somebody. Yeah, like it was it. I think yeah,
because it was his ex wife being like this typical
billionaire bullshit and like standing up for herself and stuff,
and it feels like that being married to her, which
I'm I don't know her politics or anything like that,

(01:01:49):
but I'm like, you know, those guys like are married
to women and then they get divorced and all they're
weird comes out like the women were the only things
holding back. They're like together, damn lading it back from
the rest of the workouts. That's what it feels like.

Speaker 5 (01:02:04):
Yeah, and I imagine the no amount of divorce or
marriage could have stopped his weird coming out.

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
Yeah, yeah, I it's just the entire worldview is that
the world needs more people like him, the people who
are destroying the planet as we speak, and fewer of
every other type of person. And it does feel like
he's going to invest money to continue to try and

(01:02:36):
make that happen. So it's which it is wild. Yeah, No,
it's truly like, I don't know. This article was kind
of even though it takes a lot for me to
be there's no like one detail that I was like,
well I didn't see that coming. But it does just
like overall paint a picture that I feel like if
I read this ten years ago, I would be able

(01:03:00):
to like believe believe that that's where we are. Very
strange stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:03:05):
I just want to print this and mail it to
Kara Swisher and ask her what she was doing up
until twenty twenty three personally that this is the kind
of thing where everyone who pumped up e La musk.
I want to be like, hey, so what do you
think of this? How do you not see this coming?
I mean half these women didn't see him coming either,
just says sends that eugenics.

Speaker 2 (01:03:25):
Didn't see that one coming.

Speaker 3 (01:03:27):
That one be.

Speaker 5 (01:03:30):
Ed Bet. It's quick.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
Sorry, what a pleasure having you on the show.

Speaker 5 (01:03:34):
I love. I genuinely look forward to this every time.
I love It's the absolute best.

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
Where can people find you? Follow you, vote for you?
All that good stuff?

Speaker 5 (01:03:43):
Got a better offline dot com. Don't know if I'm
winning the Webbees, but I'm trying. I think Scott Galloway
has done an election fraud and I will be doing
some January sixth, shit, if I don't win, this is
going to be a stop the steer.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
You are in second right now, just to put people so,
I'm just going to ask us shout out my conger,
weird little guy winning in the first place right now,
and but still go vote for Mali. But Ed is
in second. It's within striking distance.

Speaker 5 (01:04:12):
You need to go. And if you don't win, I'm
putting out an episode which is just called the Webby
Headquarters is at the following address.

Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
Not really, No, don't give that a reason not to vote.

Speaker 3 (01:04:23):
Don't give them a reason.

Speaker 5 (01:04:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't want to do any January
sixth shit.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
Yeah, yeah, is there is there a work of media
that you've been enjoying?

Speaker 5 (01:04:33):
Oh, work of media that I've been enjoying. I've been
watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Okay, it's an anime. It's so strange.
I know you probably worked that one out. It takes
like two and a half seasons to get good, but
when it gets going, it's truly amazing. I cannot describe it.
It's so strange. You should watch it with the dub. Now,
there are anime fans watching listening to this, it will

(01:04:54):
say that's a horrible thing. The dubs are the single
worst accents I've heard in my life. I can't stantly.
The British people are obviously like American people who have
never made.

Speaker 1 (01:05:06):
I'm so triggered right now because I keep watching movies,
TV shows, and like, British people are just out fucking
acting every American there and it's so devastating. Yeah, I'm like, oh,
I'm watching adolescents right now. They're killing it.

Speaker 5 (01:05:22):
It's crazy and it's never good watching the British succeed.

Speaker 1 (01:05:26):
Trust me, well, I think it's because you guys are
chameleons from stealing all the cultures.

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
Around the.

Speaker 5 (01:05:33):
Occasionally, like a British person will complain that like an
American is stealing something like that. I don't know. I've
heard in Americas say bloody recently, and.

Speaker 1 (01:05:42):
That's because of the Indian side, But that's because of British.
Like all the books as a kid were like Enid
Blyton and like we had we us have Monopoly, and
it was like the British version. And so I'm like
fondly looking back on my British memory for my Indian childhood.

Speaker 5 (01:06:03):
Yeah, I Brittin fucking sucks. I'm so glad I don't
live there anymore. Fucking anyway, betrofline dot com you can
find a podcast, my newsletter PRFM and all that good stuff.

I'm field reporting from the JAFF game.

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
I can actually tell you so you can actually do that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:12):
Excellent, excellent. The work of media I have been watching
and rewatching is Jeff Bezos face planting after they returned
to Earth yesterday. Again, it's the karma that you know,
we all we all hope for. It's just really good.
It's really good to watch.

Speaker 5 (01:07:34):
Fell Over.

Speaker 2 (01:07:38):
I fell I've fallen over, Oh fell Over?

Speaker 5 (01:07:43):
Fuck rich boss that you can't beat gravity? Can you

Speaker 3 (01:07:48):
That's great?

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscorel Brandon
on Blue Sky at jack Obi the Number one. I
liked this tweet from a guy named Greg at Greg
one six six, seven, six nine three five four to
two zero who said I was doing laundry today and
came up with this idea. I'm wondering why it doesn't
already exist. And it's just a washer that goes on

(01:08:12):
top of a dryer and after the washer's done, the
clothes just drop into the dryer and then.

Speaker 1 (01:08:17):
Oh, my fucking it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:19):
I was like, wait what.

Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
Wait this is.

Speaker 2 (01:08:26):
Japan, seeing like exactly like this is Yeah, they'll have
had in Japan for ten years before we find out
about it. By the way, the toilets in Japan, like
that we have these, you know, people are like, oh
they're so weird. They're just so much better than everything anything.

Speaker 5 (01:08:44):
That we have a beautiful Japanese but day, good for you,
and it's the best.

Speaker 1 (01:08:50):
I was thinking that today, Like I was like, do
landlords know how much a functioning washer and dryer like
improves the lives?

Speaker 5 (01:08:56):
And then like they do.

Speaker 1 (01:08:57):
They just don't give.

Speaker 2 (01:08:58):
Yeah, they don't give.

Speaker 5 (01:08:59):
Wait, wait, you you pay them to exist in that,
you don't pay like what you expected to do, ship.

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
What you're every time we see a landlord, we're just
throwing ones at them. We're like, yeah, baby, just living.

Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
Thank you, thank you, And then I like to tweet
from Clara Underscore s Jo, who tweeted computers used to

Speaker 3 (01:09:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:09:56):
I've been searching for more instrumental music to dj uh
and I came across this slowed down version of a
track called Yasashi by Casper, but with an X instead
of an A. There and it's got this saxophone riff
that immediately grabs your attention, but then it has this
like bouncy SYNTHI beat behind it. It reminds me of

(01:10:17):
like a video game menu music, but really slowed down
like if you had drank a bunch of lean while
playing Saga Genesis or something, it's really really cool.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
So this is Yasashi slowed by Casper.

Speaker 5 (01:10:28):
And you can find that in the footnotes.

Speaker 2 (01:10:30):
Ooh, just drank a bunch of lean, damn me to
play Saga Genesis. Let's eminem songs are on.
