(01:04):
It was just it was stupid. It was like a
rasta dude, and you click it and go bear con
and you had to determine if it was beer can
or bacon. Wow. No, all right, See this is this
is back when you know, like this is in the
era of You're the Man, Now Dog. Dr Yeah, You're
the Man now Dog was a classic. I spent hours
just hearing them repeat that. Wait, so which day is

(01:26):
it though, because I don't think I ever figured out
which beer cans be. It's beer Can Appreciation Day. Okay,
Apparently this is the day that the first beer can
was sold in ninet and that was like a novelty,
right bottles up to that point, And wasn't that like
a big thing with cores in the pool tab and yeah, yeah,

(01:47):
they exactly all the way from Colorado. Oh that baby
Billy in the first season of that's right on the
way from them. They called it here on the Silvil,
but it now all the way from Coorado. But apparently,
you know how like people say, like I've heard a
bottle opener be called a church key. You know, you

(02:09):
know what I'm talking about. They're saying the first cans
had to be opened with a church key. And now
I'm like, what the fuck is this all from? Like
they were like canned goods, like the first ones they
were there were four ounces a quarter pounds with the back.
My god, that's amazing. It's just meant to withstand nuclear

(02:32):
annihilation sounds well. Anyways, Happy birthday to all the beer cans.
So it was a bottle opener. We just called it
a church key because we knew how drunk everybody who
works in the church. Yeah, yeah, all right, makes that's amazing.

the show, Vince Man seen in I'm so glad to
be here, but unfortunately my lawyers have advised me against

(04:21):
doing any more freestyling on podcasts, So I'm just gonna
leave it at that and I'll let you guys, let
your work stand for what it is. Yeah, it's really good,
Thanks so much, Thank you so much. What's new with you? Oh? Nothing,
I did. I'm I'm coming up on months? What is it?
Six Team of Dad Life? So congratulations upcoming to Miles. Yeah,

(04:46):
how are you? What's what's six team? What's it like
six team? Like, what do you when you look back
at someone like me who's on the precipice and where
you're out, where you're at six team in I'd say
the first two to three months are right off because
at that point, like they can't see you or smile,
Like once they learned to smile, it starts to get
a lot more gratic. It gets like progressively more gratifying,

(05:07):
Like they learned to smile, and then they gained the
ability to laugh, which is great because then you spend
all your time trying to But that first two months
of just like pooping glow worm that wakes you up
in the middle of the night, that's yeah, yeah, you know,
I'm ready. You know, I've I've, I've I've I've spent
countless hours holding a PlayStation controller wondering is there something

(05:29):
better I could be doing? So I feel like taking
care of a newly birthed life form will be a
good The only good thing about the first two to
three months is that they just stay wherever you set
them down. Yeah, that's what I say, is yeah, they're
like get one of those Moses basket, Like just get
a thing. You could be just you know, throw over

(05:51):
your shoulder and bring the baby around the house with
you so and set them down in the river, just
like Moses with a note and hope and hope he
makes something himself, you know, Vince, I did want to
talk about So I've lightly talked about Babylon, just like
as not not in great detail. But I do hate

(06:12):
when a podcast I like doesn't like a movie I
like and doesn't give the alternate point of view. When
I got out of Babylon, went right to the Metacritic
to be like, what what are people saying about this film?
Am I crazy? Turns out I am, and one of
my favorite critics then one, Vince Mancini, gave it a

(06:33):
glowing review. So I just want to give you thirty seconds. Well,
what's the case for Babylon? See? I mean, I love
a scat movie, and I feel like he just over
the top scat the whole time. And first of all,
I'm a huge sucker for that. Like the first five
minutes is just uh, like a set piece where an
elephant poops on the camera and then there's like a

(06:56):
big cocaine orgy and then uh and Fatty Arbuckle getting
a Golden Shower that was supposed to be Fatty Hardbuckle. See,
I feel like I just didn't I wasn't there, I
wasn't crazy. You missed all the references, many references, So
I don't know, Like it was three hours and ten minutes,
and I expected to be really bored because I'm like,

(07:16):
I'm King of the I hate long movies, Brigade, and uh,
I really just wasn't bored for that whole movie. And
even while I'm watching it, I'm thinking, I feel like
I've seen this movie like two or three times before.
Like it's almost the same as the Artist. It's almost
the same as Singing in the Rain. It's almost the
same as like any movie that deals with like the

(07:37):
switch over from uh, silent movies to sound like yeah, yeah,
we've seen that movie before. But I was like really
into this one, and it kind of to me like
the best kind of movie is one that's like sort
of self explanatory, where like he was he was showing
me why movies are magical, where I was like, I
shouldn't like this movie, and yet here I am enjoying

(07:59):
it and not being board, and there's I don't know
that there was something to that to me like he
was sort of he was clearly doing it deliberately, and
I thought he was sort of making a case for
movies just being larger than life in that way. That's
you just keep wanting to watch Brad Pitt do stuff
for whatever. It is hard not to watch that guy. Yeah,

(08:20):
all right, well there it is. And I didn't realize
I had so much scattological stuff and now yeah, I
was like like in Vince says, it's pretty shitty in
a good way. I mean, I was watching it being like,
I know a lot of people are gonna hate this,
but question I like watching the fact. How do you

(08:41):
feel about Elvis? I see Elvis, I kind of think
the same thing where I'm like, I know this is
kind of bad, but I'm enjoying it, okay, because there's
like there's clearly like for me, there was a fork
in the road where I go, am I just gonna
be like it's fucking bas Leman, and it's just a
it's not a good There's there's nothing to say this

(09:02):
is going to be good. It's bad as learnment. And
then as I watched it, I was like so very
like I'm like, this is fucking nonsense. But at the
same time, I was like, it's so wacky that I'm like,
I can't say I'm bored at all. It's more just
like it's a good for me. It was like a
fun outrage watch. Yeah, and he kind of, uh, he
kind of made fun of the idea of musical biopics,

(09:24):
like you expect an Elvis movie is gonna like play
the biopic hits and h His was like when someone
covers a song and you can barely recognize the melody
in it, where what did they do? This is like
a crazy remix where he's like, just yadda yachting over
a huge passages that you expect to be in this movie. Yeah,
and I like the Elvis would just blatantly go to

(09:46):
the black neighborhood and be like, oh, this is where
I came up with my my new song. I just
they co signed it. They co signed it, they co
signed it. So yeah, it was we We did say
in our year review it was the year of maximalism
with everything everywhere, all at once. Are are are being
movies that I enjoyed, that a lot of people seem

(10:08):
to enjoy, and that we're super maximalism, and both of
those movies are our maximalist movies. Like they're just like
jammed packed to the gills with movie, which I think,
you know, so maybe even if I wasn't like on
the right wave length for them in the moment, definitely
worth checking out. Alright, Vince, we're gonna get to know

(10:29):
you a little bit better, and astro Teller listeners a
couple of things we're talking about. We are going to
talk about how students at Stanford are starting to warm
up to AI chatbots. Good signed for academia. Oh my god,
this must be this must be difficult for everywhere for ever. Yeah,
Professor's students been like, Dad, I give a fun enough

(10:51):
to actually think about this. And then if you're not
using the chap out, are you like the people at
the Olympics not use it? Not like doing blood doping
or whatever, you know, right, Like it's like, yeah, I
mean I get it. You can go to sleep at night,
but you don't have that gold medal. That's right. You
gotta c plus your English. We're gonna talk about Eminem's.

(11:12):
They've decided to pause their quote unquote polarizing candy mascots
because Tucker Carlson doesn't want to fuck them anymore. So
we'll talk about that becoming an official part of the
cultural conversation. We're gonna talk about a documentary that dropped
at Sundance that's apparently unfinished, but it was happening in secret.

(11:35):
It is called Justice, by the director of Swingers and
Mr and Mrs Smith, and it's his first documentary, Doug Lineman,
and it is trying to like look into the sexual
assaults of Brett Kavanaugh, the many claims, and uh yeah,
it seems interesting. We might even get into why somebody

(11:59):
should just burned them on the Lisa, all that plenty more.
But first, Vince, we do like to ask our guests,
what is something from your search history. I one of
my most recent searches was Charles the Second, how many grandparents?
I don't know if you're aware of the very inbred
Habsburg King. He's like a weird obsession of mine. And

(12:21):
the answer was he had nine great grandparents. You're supposed
to have sixteen. But he came from like a long
line of number a long line of uncles marrying their nieces.
Like it's really hard to figure out the family tree
because it's so inbred. But like the the number of
great grandparents is like a nice, nice like mathematical thing

(12:42):
you could put on it, loop backs in mobias strips
in there. There's something. For whatever reason, hearing an odd
number was the most unsettling thing. Yeah, he's got a
family tree. That's just like an extra drawing. Yeah, right. Yeah.
The Habsburgs were really like they just kind of carefully

(13:05):
bred and married their way to power. Like yeah, for
the most part, Yeah, that's how they did it. And
then they were great at like you know, every other
potential are dying and then you know, inheriting a bunch
of stuff. Yeah. So, like all these rom coms that
tell you you should like marry for love and you know,

(13:28):
just do what feels right in your heart, you wouldn't
know the name Habsburgs. You might not even know the
country Austria if if it weren't for a bunch of
people just you know, biting down and marrying for whatever
was whatever their dad told them to do, essentially to
make them their family the most powerful. And this guy

(13:50):
was like a good culmination of that because he like
apparently is he had the huge Hapsburg jaw where he
could barely chew food and was apparently like apparently was
also in continet and uh, you know, differing accounts of
just how messed up he was. But they kept bringing
in like other princesses from other places to try and
see if he could produce an air And I just

(14:12):
like the idea of, you know, these people keep bringing
in princesses to see if they can procreate with this
guy who is like it's like himself, and it's like,
I have nine grandparents. You're like their family line is
like Legend of Drunken Master, except like where they just
where where the alcohol instead is replaced by inbreeding, and

(14:34):
it's just like we got like inbreeding is are superpower,
but it's also like eventually going to fuck us off
to the point that we can't even like see straight. Anyways,
I like to throw in a good Legend of Drunken
Master reference as early in the possible. What is something
you think is overrated? Vince? I think canceling plans is overrated.

(14:55):
I don't know at what point, like it became a
thing to brag about how much you enjoy canceling plans online,
But I don't know. I personally hate when people do that,
and I don't think it's that cool, and I think
you should. It's more fun to meet up with people.
I think it's it's cooler to just say no, yeah right, yeah,

(15:15):
I don't cancel them, say you want to nah, because
then the person knows how much food do you get? Yeah? Exactly?
Oh yeah, No, that's that's poor form. You know what
I mean. If if there's a head count and you've
got to provide or whatever, and then people suddenly like
of the guest list, like you know what actually nah? Yeah,
and everybody has that one friend who doesn't like to

(15:37):
disappoint people. So there there maybe is like an automatic
no and there and there yes is actually you translate
it back to a maybe in your mind. Yeah, they're like, look,
John is gonna say yes, but it's a no. I
know him. Two days out he's gonna be like, hey, actually,
I'm like already know alad nobody sorry, we we didn't
even buy enough for you. Man, it's I don't know

(15:59):
what you said. I've known you since pre school, man,
I know what, I know what. Yes, me, I got
doing frozen pot stickers and Casey decided to show up.
That's gonna be your food. It's a very good point.
It's it's a thing that I think it's been an
underrated on our show, and I vehemently agreed with that
because I do have social anxiety and sometimes it feels

(16:20):
like a lot to show up to a thing. But
usually when I show up to a thing in after
the fact, I'm glad I did right. But I think
more than I think more. The thing that we liked
about the canceling plans thing was just was more so
saying no to offers of plans, because I feel like
that was the big pandemic shift for me, was you

(16:43):
say yes to everything pre pandemic, and then I was like, nah,
Like being able to like have my own boundaries actually
really important to me. So then on the other side
of it, I'm like, yeah, you know what, Actually I
don't think I'll be able to make it. Where I
used to be like I might, you know what, let
me check, let me look, and now I'm just like, man,
I didn't gonna work. Maybe next time. I did have
a friend who was like an aggressive, aggressive invite turner

(17:05):
down there where he would not only say no, but
like reply to the group email with all of the
reasons that he would not be doing that, and you
know what had to respect it. Oh yeah, that's brilliant.
Were the reasons, like, you guys aren't my favorite conversationalists.
I mean it was usually no, it was not like
it was not like the Banshees of Initiat, and it

(17:26):
was usually more like he didn't want to drive more
than ten minutes, and it would be like, oh, sorry,
I didn't bring my h my East Bay passport because
I will not be doing that. What's something you think
is underrated? Beats? I really like like a good beat.
You know some people too earthy for them. No, the
vegetable forms as as prepared by dre Is that not

(17:51):
what people are talking about when they said I might
be confused. Be good for the digestion in my personal experience,
in my personal body, roasted, pickled, boiled, I like them all.
Wait roasted? Oh yeah, roasted, that's the best way. How
are they usually making them when they come like on
a salad when they're cold, like beats on a salad

(18:12):
when they're how is that prepared? I think it used
to be usually boiled, and now I think people have
moved over to roasted because it's better. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it just takes a long time, like golden beats of
a roasted golden beat and beat juice, like drinking beat juice,
just to like a pee rose. It's always fun to
watch my peak come out pink. Yeah. I feel like
it'd be more fun for me if I wasn't a

(18:33):
color blind so because like I can't really pick up
the red in the urine or the or the stool
as as well as people that aren't color blind, and
I feel like I would get a kick out of that.
Are you able to, like with those glasses work that
they say help for people to be able to see
more color spectrum? Or is that just like an op
on social media to be like, I think mine's mild

(18:56):
enough to where it does it really help that much them?
I think. I don't know. I don't know what the
science behind it is, but I've tried different kinds of them,
and it was never like, oh my god, I'm seeing
for the first time. It was more just like, well,
that looks a little more red than it would otherwise.
There you Yeah, yeah, anyway, I'll pee rose on your behalf,

(19:16):
thank you. I think you know. On that note, I
like asparagus because like it's it feels really gratifying when
like twenty minutes after you eat something, like you there,
you know it's in there. I wish there was more
foods that I could be like, oh, it's like a
prize for eating your vegetables a little bit. Yeah, what
smells terrible, right, Like we all agree it smells bad.

(19:38):
There's no one who thinks asparagus pist smells good. What
do you mean? I mean, like your own farts smell bad,
but you're also kind of fascinated by them, right, Like
I had heard there are some people who like will
order asparagus piste through Reddit for him and then like
had a chip to them and just you know, like
wear it like cologne. But like that's not me, and

(20:00):
that says that it's crazy. That was a fatty arbuckle thing. Yeah,
that was the I didn't. There's a whole last list
of ship that makes your pepe smell really Asparagus is
one of the most impressed. Like I'm always impressed how
quickly it just hits immediately, and then it also will
hit like a day later. Sometimes you know it's coffee, Okay, coffee,

(20:24):
you know, I know the ones are coffee. You're like, whoa,
Like if I drink a ton of like like uncut
cold brew, that definitely comes up. They say Brussels sprouts interesting, okay,
because it produces methyl cain or captain like gas. That's
one for making urine smell less than stellar. Okay. I'd

(20:44):
say beats go like falls into that category of things
that got a bad rap in the eighties because people
were only preparing them one way. For me, beats were
like canned beats, like bright red canned beats just I
don't know why, but like yeah that and that was gross,
like just but the same with Brussels sprouts just being boiled,

(21:07):
and now they're kind of cool again because people were like, oh,
you don't have to like make it in the least
appetizing way. They also apparently bred out a lot of
the bitterness of Brussels sprout, So it's partly preparation, but
it's also partly like that they've figured out the plant
plant science that made them less funky. Yeah, I hate that.

(21:31):
That's like when, like you when you have like arugula
and you realize you're, like, man, they fucking took the
teeth out of a ruf like in America, Like it
just doesn't have that kick anymore unless you go get
rocket on the other side of the pond and you're like, oh, peppery.
Everything is just being bred to eventually tastes like gatorade
and like, yeah, I love this riptide rush salad. All right,

(21:56):
let's take a quick break. We'll be right back to
talk about some news. And we're back. And yeah, students
at Stanford are starting to do what I would be

(22:17):
doing if I was a student anywhere. It was exploring
exploring the capabilities GPTs. These these chat bots, they're so
fucking you know on point. I mean, we saw how
they wrote like the Bible and the Voice of Tolkien
and it was pretty good and things like that. But
apparently in like a Stanford, they did a survey for

(22:39):
all like the students who just completed their fall finals
for two and a growing number of them are starting
to rely on the AI for finishing assignments, are getting ideas.
People answered this question. This survey very in a in
a number of ways, but they said they pulled around
forty students and about seventeen percent said they were using

(23:00):
chat GPT to assist with their assignments and exams, and
they said, of those seventeen percent, a majority reported using
the AI only for brainstorming and outlining, and then only
five percent we're actually honest or like yeah, yeah, I
just submitted material written directly from there without any edits.
So I think I think five percent were I mean,

(23:23):
I can see how maybe it would help you organize
your thoughts, but at that point, like, what are we
doing here? You know that the survey was conducted using
the honor system that that catches so many people for
plagiarism when they turn in the paper and then immediately
confessed to plagiarizing. Yeah this, I'm not buying these percentages,

(23:47):
but it is interesting to me to just think about,
like how how constant this is going to be? Oh,
I mean didn't it seems like it would have been
Standford guys that invented the chat GPT, so elon that
other guy. I mean, Ellen only went to Stanford for
like three days, like like literally forty eight hours. But
it feels like the chickens coming home to roost a
little bit, right, And the professors right now, they're like

(24:10):
they're already discussing like in their own slack channels, like
how they need to like alter the curriculum. Others are
like talking about going full bloodite on these students and
being like leave your fucking backpacks and bleep bleep electronics
at the fucking door when you take this test. Now
here is your pencil and paperpose you as like a
not very creative professor if people can face your class

(24:34):
using a chat bot, Yeah, I just have to commit
my essay to memory that I just wrote a chat bot.
But okay, and then you know, so like a lot
of other the other professors have kind of been shocked by,
like how fucking brazen some students have been. One professors like,
I mean I told him, I said, look, if you're
using chat like bots and ship, at least put in

(24:55):
your work sited, so like you can at least fess
up to the fact that you're using these tool or whatever.
And then this professor's like, I also got one that
just had this sentence in the third paragraph that said,
as a large language model trained by open Ai, And
you know, I'm like, what the funk? Like some of
the professors like, come on, like if you're canna even cheat,

(25:16):
like fucking do some work you pieces of Ship. Uh
so I don't know, I mean like what to do now? Right,
Like it's it's good at telling stories. We've realized that,
Like it's really good at like narrative style, like like
like these sort of rhetorical styles of different outlets and
things like that. But when it comes tothing for like
more complex that involves like numbers and sums or programming,

(25:37):
like it's people get people are getting found out really quick.
But it's not stopping from people from attempting it, which
is really something. It just seems like they'll need to
do all the essays as like written exam essays, right
or would it be like more like fucking Socrates and Ship,
Like you gotta go kick it with your professor and

(25:57):
like just just like you know, chop it up and
then they go, Okay, this motherfucker understood the assignment this semester.
Like if you don't have to think those kids are
gonna have an earwig with chat and GPS, GPS CHET
GPT telling them exactly what to say. You're you're crazy
and you haven't you weren't raised on eighties and nineties. Yeah,

(26:21):
like in your theology class, your professors like so do
you believe that the parable of the stoning of Stephen
was the beginning of the other ring of Jews in
the New Testament. And then the person's goes what that means? Nathan?
For you, it's like just I don't know. I'm sorry,
I didn't. My ear wig buzzed out. Do I believe
that the stoning of Yeah, yeah, it's interest interesting times

(26:45):
for sure? I think yeah. And I think it's just
weird to think of, like how you begin to see
this shift? Right, Like I graduated college in two thousand seven,
and that was, like, you know, spark Notes was like
the highest of the high terms of something like eight.
You know, if you didn't read like whatever this beloved
or whatever books or whatever, you could just jump to

(27:06):
the spark Notes. But the idea of like even getting
a hint on how to structure an essay, I can
already see being like, all, I'm gonna write my paper
thirty minutes before I have to turn it in. Now,
I mean that's the tool. Like if that, if that's
the tool that exists, they should be using it. I mean,
if you can, if it's out there and uh, and
you can make it into something coherent that works I

(27:29):
don't know, it seems like it seems like you did
complete the assignment. Yeah, yeah, I mean as long as
you're not turning it in site unseen without like reading
the essay that was written for you and then like
adding your own thoughts. I mean it's probably it's probably
not great. It probably is smart for these teachers to
alter their curriculum a little bit, but I mean it's

(27:51):
importantly it's stealing a job from the student who was
getting paid by other students to write their essays for
for them. Like if that's just going to some AI
now right exactly? Yeah, that and that that's the real problem.
You know. Sparks notes were so badad by the way
they were meant, they were meant to expose you. Yeah,

(28:11):
like if you came half cocked with like a spark
notes fucking refresher before a lecture or something, they're like,
I'm sorry, what was that analysis of this? Yeah? I
had a friend who showed up to this final that
everybody else I knew had like studied a lot for
and we're like really worried about and we knew that
he hadn't studied at all, and uh, well, as soon

(28:32):
as he got the test handed out, he started, he
pulled out his his contact lens and was like stabbing
himself in the in the eye with it, and then
walked up to the front and was just like, I
don't know, I'm having like an allergic reaction. Can I
take this? Take this later? And we got the test
postponed for himself, and I appreciated that as a creative solution.

(28:54):
That's a hustle he uses to this day. That's a
that's a that's an education that you'll never forget. My
most effective one was using nine eleven to get out
of the chemistry test in high school. Yeah, yeah, I can't.
I can't use that one again. Ford. You have ever
have coworkers that that pretended to have a child so
that whenever they needed a day off and be like, oh,

(29:15):
you know, Joseph just having a really bad day, I
gotta go pick him up. That's pretty wild, though, mystery
fake shadow child. I have a friend who had a
troubled brother for a long time. Oh, using that one, yeah,
the old troubled brother Dodge. Yeah, that's that's more brazen

(29:36):
to be like, Man, my kids sick again, and yeah,
this funk October. You don't also because if you don't
have kids, you're like so clue like and other people
do you're so clueless about kids because he's got like
that he got things. Yeah, I'm sorry what some kind

(29:57):
of necrotic bacteria or something I don't know, s evertising
or something. Get CPS called on you even though you
don't have a kid, because they're and then they're even
more word You're like, I don't have a kid, to like,
this is so alarming, sir, you do have But there
we go. We wrote a Signfeld episode and we didn't
use ai that that was your cue to do a

(30:18):
Seinfeld thing. So somebody on like before Miles goes, can
you get them to do a Seinfeld? What are they
gonna do about my jokes? It's just gonna it's gonna
take my's gonna take my job, all right. Eminem's have
decided to pause their polarizing. They're getting campaign that those

(30:39):
are their words, so they issued a statement beginning with America,
let's talk. We spin a chair backwards too, and sit
in a chair backwards. But their hat on the other way. Yeah,
it's always just serving when someone says we need to talk,
or let's talk. Like when you schedule a talk, like
just you the talk and don't leave it, don't leave

(31:01):
me in suspense. You can just start off with the
sentence that comes after America, it would be the exact
same thing. Yeah, after that and the last year, we've
made some changes to our beloved Yeah, that would have
worked just as well. But it goes on to say
that Eminem's gets it quote unquote and realized that changes

(31:22):
to their quote beloved spokes candies are quote unquote polarizing.
Hence they've been put on an indefinite pause. So they're
not using the spokes candies anymore. No more sexy Lady Eminem's.
That was the problem. Yeah, Like it basically came down
to how horny the green Eminem made. Tucker Carlson was

(31:47):
like the downfall of those spokes Eminem's. So everyone was
talking about with so many It wasn't just Tucker though,
there's so many other conservatives who like, like even it's
and normally Tucker says something and like everyone falls in mind,
but it's like so many people at the same thought simultaneously,
which is very interesting anyway. Sorry, Yeah, So, yeah, he

(32:10):
had a segment last year where He complained that a
new promotional rapper featured three female candy characters and a
platitude about how the company is celebrating women across the
country who are flipping flipping the status quo, which is
like some you know, girl boss bullshit, like corporate you
know bullshit. It's not fun to have to be like, no,

(32:31):
fuck you, Tucker Carlson. We're with m Andem on this one,
because you know, this is just a cynical play to
make money. But he then devoted a segment to a
bizarre ran about how the cartoon Eminem's had been redesigned
to be less sexy, with the green Eminem swapping her
boots for sneakers, and like a real attention to detail there,

(32:56):
like he's only he's only horny for people in boots
as opposed to sneaker. Yeah, because he likes to lick boots.
It's all. It's always a tantrum that, like, I mean,
they love capitalism, but as soon as they're not like
the target audience for something, then they're mad, Like why
is it this about me? Personally? Used to be horny
for the grand Eminem. Now she's wearing ugly shoes and

(33:19):
I hate it. Those sneakers ain't turning me to grant it. Downstairs,
I got a problem with this, Like what the funk
is going? That's something like this is so weird because
their language is like that. They feel that, like it's
bullshit too for them to say it's polarizing. I'm like,
you don't if you believe in some ship like you
don't see people. I'm never like, I'm sorry from my

(33:40):
polarizing remarks that I believe that prisons should be abolished,
Like you're you're only saying that if you're like trying
to seed to the other person's perspective. They like there
was some validity to that, Actually that of a swing
we've heard you were listening. Isn't this all taking attention
away from the fact that AND and m's are not

(34:01):
very good? Like how often do you, as an adult
person eat Eminem's, how peanut Eminem's I'm funk with heavy?
I I just okay, to be honest, every I've had
to go to like the pharmacy to get a bunch
of like inoculations before the baby comes to ship. And
every time I go, I'm always seeing new kinds of
Eminem's because whenever I see Eminem's used at the liquor store,

(34:24):
and it's always like peanut almond plane. But then I
went and they had like fudge brownie and like one
with a cookie center, and I was like, yeah, I mean,
I'll funk around. They're apologizing for the fact that the
base product is uh forgettable, and that other foods you
like inside like pizza, they go the combos route. They

(34:44):
just they're doing combos. Yeah. I don't know, I really
like them. I was. I was, They're like in the
early two thousand's, I was like adamant that they should
make pretzel Eminem's, so I guess I'm like a little
bit of an eminem fan boy. And then that they
came out and they weren't good, and I was like, man,
what did I do in my life too? Yeah, but

(35:06):
you can see why there's no there's no controversy over
the spokes candies for Reese's pieces because you know, nobody
cares about the marketing for those because they are actually good. Yeah,
exactly right, right, Yeah, nobody's like et wasn't fusable enough.
We need to Actually, it just reminds me remember The
Demolition Man, where like in the future everybody, like the

(35:28):
popular radio stations are all playing uh like commercial jingles.
It kind of feels like that's what we're doing now.
We're arguing over like whether the jingles used to be
better or not. I meanwhile, we're like, what about all
the people that live underground who don't have access to
the traditional economy? Were like, enough out of you. Dr
Cocta is about to speak and Dan Cortez is on
a grand piano singing the Jolly Green Giant theme song.

(35:51):
I remember that scene too well. But yeah, the Eminem's thing,
I'm like, that's one like this has to be them
just doing like rage marketing, like a like, are they
just doing this to to like go to Tucker Carlson
to then be able to pivot off of that, which
is such a weird. But if that's the plan, then
why back down and make it seem like you're the

(36:12):
Tucker Carlson was making a valid point about how the
Green Eminem, and there was also initial signs that they
were listening to Tucker Carlson even before this, because he
was like, she she's not even wearing boots, Like that's
not hot, She's wearing sneakers. They redesigned the Green Eminem
to have boots again, and but this time he was like,
but now she's a lesbian, which is not like I

(36:35):
guess she held hands with the brown Eminem and then
ed like six years ago. But it was like a
meme that circulated its way to his Facebook wall or
wherever the funk he gets his news, and he complained
that there was a plus sized, obest purple Eminem, which
is just a peanut Eminem, Like that's the that's that's

(36:56):
the shape of Eminem's. Man. Yeah, it's not like she
spelled before. I mean, it feels like the if you're
the marketing person for Eminem, you're basically making decisions on
who has the most boycott cloud. So before it was like, Okay,
we don't want to get boycotted by people who think
that the Green eminem is two sex positive, and now
we don't want to get boycotted by the one who

(37:19):
is not horny enough from the Green Eminem. So it's like,
I don't know, we're playing out culture war battles and
like really random arenas like the eminem spokes people, it's great, yeah,
and look they're winning, folks. I just want you might
win some, but you just lost one. Libs, I wonder

(37:41):
what that commercial is going to look at like though
that they've had to painfully tease. So now they're saying,
but we got somebody that everyone can agree on, maya
Rudolph Myls Like cool, thanks everyone, I am an acceptable choice.
Thank you for Tucker's carl Yes, Tucker Carlson's favorite human

(38:02):
a woman of color, like are we That's gonna probably
outrage him more. That's why I hope it's a it's
a grand number. Maybe could you imagine if then they
like double down in the commercially, like, ah, we got you,
but you thought we were gonna backpedal, and we're like,
this doesn't even make sense anymore. Just shut up. Yeah,
it would be not at all. I was gonna say,

(38:22):
it'll be interesting to see what they do. That's a lie.
It won't be interesting. That would require me watching the
super Bowl. Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break.
We'll be right back. And we're back. And so we're

(38:47):
learning more about the alleged assaults committed by sitting Supreme
Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh from the director of Swingers and
Mr and Mrs Smith because yeah, oh yeah, and the
very first born identity. Yeah, wow, look at this guy.

(39:07):
So this was like a surprise album drop, like he
funded the whole thing himself and like signed the whole
crew too, n d as to make sure nobody knew
this was coming. And people within the entertainment pressers saying, like,
it's pretty like the documentary world is not large. There's like,

(39:29):
you know, a handful of three people get to make those.
So people were really surprised that they were able to
pull it off and keep it a surprise. So they
sped a rough draft at Sundance and so it's the
first documentary by director Doug Lyman, who made all those
movies we were talking about, And most of the documentary

(39:51):
is about the accusations made by Deborah Ramirez who previously
recalled that Brett Kavanaugh had exposed himself at a drunken
dorm party. It sounds like they're doing like floating this out,
using it to get attention, and then like going to
get additional kind of material from the process of like

(40:12):
having a public that they're making this documentary. But they
say the biggest reveal in the documentary is an auto
audio recording of Max Steer, a Yale classmate who had
previously stated at the Kavanaugh had his pants down at
a party, but on the leaked tape he details the
time of drunken Kavanaugh attempted to insert his penis into
the mouth of a young woman at a dorm party

(40:32):
while she was nearly passed out on the floor from drinking.
Didn't we hear this? Like we heard we heard these
allegations too, didn't we Like wasn't like Debra Ramirez one
of the people that they Ramirez was definitely one of
the people. Then there was like an Anne this anecdote too,
and the f is like yeah, yeah, yeah, we talked
to everybody. Yeah, I think there were similar things. I

(40:53):
don't know that I had heard that one in particular
the mouth one, but other Yell classmates in the suggests
that Kavanaugh's team contacted them during the FBI investigation in
order to try to steer them in his direction, which
he denied under oath during his testimony. So the film
basically contends that he committed perjury. Like that's is that

(41:16):
a disqualified? Like the thing about the Supreme Court is
like they're appointed for like like is there any sort
of is there any sort of avenue for him to
face any consequences for anything impeachment. Impeachment which realized on
which is a political you know, the the whole thing
is still a political exercise, right, like in the same

(41:37):
way that like he was approved by Yeah, it's still
going to go from the House to the Senate. I
mean they voted to convert confirm him while all this
like well that stuff was still going on, and it
wasn't even in doubt that he was not going to
get confirmed, which is like again, it feels like they're
presenting this information to the public as if we have
any sort of lever to do anything about or any

(42:00):
doubt about what kind of piece of ship this guy is. Yeah,
and but and like when when all this was going
on the first time, I thought, Okay, we're worrying about
what this guy did in college. What about the fact
that of the nine Supreme Court Court justices that are
like approved for life and have like this insane amount
of influence over the American people, two of them went

(42:22):
to the same high school. Like that is weird to me, Like,
how do you have like him and some other justice
went to the same high school. Like that seems like
it should be an immediate disqualifier. Yeah, that was the
same handful of law schools, and Brent Kavanaugh's father was
like one of the most damaging like evil lobbyists of Yeah,

(42:46):
it's it's bunkers. Yeah, I feel yeah, I feel like
that they're this avenue is like something that people could
understand why he's bad, Like they're trying to find, you know,
the something that the layman can understand. I'm like, oh, okay,
well what if he was a rapist? But it's like
he has ten other reasons that he should have been
disqualified for before we even got to that. Yeah, yeah,

(43:09):
it's it's yeah, it is kind of it's hard to
see something that's sort of like those January six documentaries
you see come in and you're like, yeah, I know right,
you guys were the ones that were to do something
about it, Like you don't need I'm I'm all in
on fucking doing something about it, don't like most of
most people are. And I mean that's what's kind of

(43:30):
a little weird. Like you're saying, Jack, like they hope
that this like slow walking of it will inspire other people,
but like at that point, is there going to be
just uh, you know, we get to like a tipping
point of evidence and allegations that they're going to try
and do something that they haven't successfully done since eighteen
oh five. The movie apparently opens with Lyneman seated on

(43:55):
a couch across from Christine blaisie Ford, who questions him
about why he, a Hollywood director wanted to make this film.
And I don't know, I haven't seen it obviously, but
it does feel like we never get and then she
is really not in it for the for the back
of their head during that Q and A. But and

(44:15):
then it shows her testimony. He's like, because the only
way to take down a white guy is another white guy, right,
And that's what I'm hoping to do. What we really
need is another He needs to be forced to do
another tearful press conference where he admits that he likes beer.
That was because that was what happened the first time.
That was still like one of the strangest things. Like

(44:38):
even when he like accused Amy Klobuchard, like are you
a drunk? Like when that, I'm like, ya, this is
we've we've left the planet here were you're seriously talking
to this man? When I catched my four year old
and a lie like a at this stage of his
lying development, his responses to get angry and like that
seems to be what what Brett Havin I was doing

(45:00):
is like he knew he was lying and just was like,
well mad about something at this point. Yeah, what is
it when when you have the facts, pound the facts,
and when you don't have the facts any side pound
the table. That's right. Regal Cinemas is closing more theaters
despite Avatar to like, you know, being one of the
biggest movies around. They still have around five hundred theaters

(45:23):
and are working to shed debt and stay alive, which, yeah,
we're just headed towards monopoly, like an AMC monopoly. Yeah.
Or Amazon, well, you know, Amazon is also a lurking too.
They're they're they're dipping their tone in the movie theater business.
I can only imagine what it's. It really does seem
wild that for all the amount of like just energy

(45:46):
there's been around like movies just in the last year
that well, I mean, the whole streaming economy is sort
of a way to skirt monopoly rules because because they
used to be you know, like your studio couldn't own
the distribution platform, they couldn't own theaters, and that was
why we had like this entire industry of exhibitors because

(46:09):
they were different than the studios at by design. And
then the streaming was like, oh, how do we how
do we circumvent that? And so now it's like two
monopoly plays trying to do battle with each other. But
I feel like that's bad. That's gonna end up being
bad for movies, right, Like if AMC is the only

(46:31):
kind of power in the in the distributor for the
you know, theater owner monopoly, Like it just feels like
it's gonna be We're gonna have We're gonna have the
m C. You on an infinite fucking loop when like
when like those things merge, because then it's just all
going to be about the bottom line. They're like, well,
this ship gets uses in the seats and that's all

(46:51):
this business is about. Like we don't, We're not here
to indulge people's creative I don't even think it's that,
Like I wish the the end goal of a movie
was to get asses in the seats, But now I
feel like the end goal of the movie is to
create users of that brand, Like the goal of a
Marvel movie is not like, let's make a bunch of
money on this one movie. It's like, how do we
create a bunch of daily Marvel users? So yeah, towels

(47:17):
or daily shows or fucking even a news show eventually, right,
But I feel bad because the Regal Cinemas commercials were
really really bad? Were they the were they the Nicole
Kidman one? This one has people doing like NonStop movie

(47:37):
references throughout the theater, and it's just like and then
Danny Trejo shows up. I'll just play a little bit
because like it's they lays they lays it on thick.
It's not a man person, it's called a satchel. You
can't sit with us. So you're telling me there's a

(47:57):
chance I know it was you afraid oh broke as
f okay that I don't even understand how these lines,
the references don't even fit together. It's like, is uh,
come see more movies so you two can be uh
obnoxious and desocialized. So the Danny Treo thing is he

(48:24):
takes a sip from his drink says I know it
was you Fraido because someone he thinks someone finished his drink,
and then the pot next to him, says as if
and points to there, like that's not a thing that's
ever happened. Someone went pp and his coat. I think
that is the next line somehow, like no, no, no, no,
no no, But like wait, what's the next line after that,

(48:46):
because they just go no and then this hold of
them me just we we do have to follow this
from It goes from I know, is you freder too?
As if okay, f lies what you sit on the
throne of lies? Oh okay, I think that's a Will

(49:07):
Ferrell line from something m It's it's so weird how
somehow the like really heavy handed, like trite version of
the MC one is like, oh fucking love that right,
because it's like so it's so over the top, you
know what I mean. Or it's like, man, this is

(49:28):
so like Nicole Kidman isn't working with any of these movies,
but she's selling us on the magic of movies than
not the magic of being obnoxious to your friends. Yeah,
like what I tell you about doing that goonies, Hey,
you guys should have public So it's a little weird.
It's the worst part of movies and movie going. People
who only speak in movies. Yeah, right, double down on that.

(49:52):
Uh yeah, wow. I mean, I don't know. There was
a time in the early twentieth century when like but
not Please just went unchecked and then we had to
like have two Roosevelt's coming, like Teddy Roosevelt come in
and like break up monopolies, and then his cousin for
some reason like come in and and said, it just

(50:13):
feels like we're at the like pre I don't know,
we're at a nator, Yeah, we're at the second Gilded Age. Yeah,
we're definitely at the part right before everything falls apart,
and like best case scenario there's like some sort of
breaking up of the monopolies and some sort of socialist movement.
But I'm just I'm just sad they got through that

(50:35):
entire promo and not one bar at quote, which I feel,
come on, the thing is like two minutes long. I
could subject you to it, but I think I think
we made it out bore at free somehow. I've seen
that twenty times, so I'm sure. Yeah, no, no, no no,
that's a complaint. Yeah yeah, actually yeah, your whole Babylon

(50:57):
review was about that regal s m a intro thing
and how there's no bore at quotes I found surprising.
All right, and finally let's talk the Mona Lisa. A
hoaxer posted a video of police cars in Paris and
was like, the quote is the most TikTok just like
dumb shit p o V. You're while you are in

(51:21):
Paris when the Mona Lisa is stolen. The video was
more than eleven million times, confused a lot of people.
The story was verifiably false. But then the same TikTok
user posted a follow up video video claiming the painting
was indeed gone, but the staff can't say anything. Oh
come on, you think they'd tell you if it was stolen.

(51:41):
That's that's peak. I have a girlfriend, but she lives
in Texas, right, you know what I mean? Like, oh yeah, yeah,
of course they're not going to say the thing that's
a lie because I'm lying, But I'm gonna come at
you first and try and get their rhetorical edge on
that narrative. Yeah, there's also glass Onion, a knives Out
Murder mystery spoiler alert. I love that that is the

(52:05):
subtitle to that, almost as much as Ryan Johnson does.
But the Mona Lisa, like, it's about a tech bro
Elon Musk character who has the Mona Lisa, and it's like, yeah,
I just rented out, no big deal, and bad things
happened to the Mona Lisa. So that's another reason that
it might be in the zeitgeist. But people have been

(52:25):
arguing for a while that it's like the Mona Lisa
is a bad thing for art, Like, I I didn't
realize that of like the Louves Galleries, visitors are there
to see the Mona Lisa and then and that like
the process of seeing the Mona Lisa like is basically

(52:48):
standing in line at the airport. You just like stand
in a giant line with a bunch of like in
a giant like cordoned off thing and walk up. And
if you've seen it in person, you know that it
is the size of an iPad, Like it is fucking tiny.
I mean you all, you just you just need to
listen to that Lonely Island song about it, Like that's
the that's the best part. Have you heard that? Have

(53:12):
you heard from pop Star? The movie pop Star? There's
a song called the Mona Lisa Your renover rated piece
of Ship, And it's just like the whole thing is
just roasting the Mona Lisa, That's fantastic. Feel like the
only part I remember it was there, does there Riza
give a line in that, like a loose line in

(53:33):
that to like kind of bolster his like rap cred.
I think because someone says he's like one time I
just saw him eat the whole blunt and I was like,
this is great, and that's all I remember. But yeah,
it is, like I think, because it's just one of
those things. It just become shorthand for art. Yeah, it's
like Einstein shorthand for smart guy. And so every quote

(53:54):
that someone wants to say it's smart, they give to Einstein,
and chances or if you've seen an Einstein quote on
a bumper sticker, it is not actually a thing Einstein said. Yeah.
But so yeah, it's a it's a huge pain in
the ask for the Louve for security staff and yeah,

(54:14):
there there's this long New York Times article. I wasn't
familiar with your Lonely Island reference. I read the New
York Yeah, yeah, the paper of record. I'm over here
down with the with the with the piloid. Yeah, but
some days the Louve has to close entirely because of
how the Mona Lisa like is just over just mobbed

(54:36):
by people who just want to be like I've seen
the art one. Yeah, it is weird because people just
go up like they'll just take a picture and they're like,
all right, I'm supposed to do that a tiny picture. Yeah, alright.
I feel like this is one of those things where
the root issue is that people are just the worst

(54:57):
and we want to try and find like, oh, is
it the paintings? It was like, right, not as the
people suck and the more of us there are that
know of something, the worst it's gonna be for that thing. Yeah,
that's kind of my takeaway from this piece in the
New York Times is just like it's gonna be It's
gonna be some other painting if it's not the Mona Lisa.
But so I do have a proposed solution because the

(55:20):
reason the Mona Lisa is famous in the first place,
like it was a known painting, but it wasn't like
the known painting until nineteen eleven, when a small mustachioed
man entered the Louver Museum in Paris made his way
to the Salon Karre, where the Mona Lisa was housed
and just hid in a storage closet, came out the

(55:42):
next morning before it opened, dressed like somebody who worked
there put the Mona Lisa basically in his pocket and
then and then walked out, and everyone was like scandalized
by it because it was like a pretty famous painting
and it basically became the most famous paying based on that,
and once they got it back, they were like hundreds

(56:04):
of thousands of people would come every day to see it.
So it's basically an early meme. Like it's just a
meme that went viral. Like this New York Times art
Gold compares to Kim Kardashian, but it's like, I think
it's more of a Harambee than a Kim Kardashian. Yeah,
Like we're not sure why we're still into it, so
we are. You're not sure what the funk happened there,

(56:25):
but we're still like gotta see dicks out from Mona
Lisa boys. So my takeaway though from the origin story
of its fame, is that something I've always said is
that like art theft counter to like what you saw
in uh, the Thomas Crown Affair, like art theft is
generally very easy, Like when you go back and like

(56:45):
look at the most the list of like the most
like valuable art heists of all time, it's almost always
like a smashing grab thing or like somebody just like
has a gun and I was like, hey, I'm taking
this and down we're like literally shoplifted like off the
all and like put it in a smock that they're wearing.
So somebody just needs to steal a better work of

(57:06):
art than that. People want to be more famous in
a in an ingenious way that makes people interested in it,
And dude, that's probably the next level of like art
market manipulation is like inside job theft to be like,
what we need to do is get your art piece stolen,
and that's going to exponentially raise the value when we

(57:26):
recover it, because there's a lot of a lot of
ways to manipulate the market. Like it sounds like you've
been talking to that TikTok person first of all, yeah, yeah,
you have been talking to you artists. I'm like, look, man,
I'll steal your ship for a cut, you know what
I mean. I don't give a fuck. What's like the
good version of the Mona Lisa that people could make
popular and it would make people appreciate like how good

(57:48):
art can be. I mean that question would require me
to be a non dipshit person who's like not like
Mona Lisa art. That's the only thing I know. Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude,
I know fucking banks Oh ship, dude, that's banks What

(58:08):
did someone stole the banks? Dude, dude, Someone's still banksy, bro. Yeah,
I mean I don't. Yeah, I think it's just it's
interesting to see people get into art however they want to.
But yeah, I mean, like I think some people like
when especially tourists, treat art as like not even a
thing that they're necessarily taking in. It's like, well that

(58:30):
this like seminal work is housed in the building, I
gotta go say I stood near it. Yeah, like and
then you miss all the other cool shit because I
think again, like this, it all builds on top of
each other, like where it's it's you know, like we taught,
we laughed like it's a medieval meme, and then we
now like with social media, now people have to prove
that they've been near the famous thing at any possible moments.

(58:53):
So it's only like I think, exponentially like just sort
of driven the desire for people have been like and
here's proof that I stood next to this little pick
all right, ells just covered in angel wings like angel
wings graffiti like this. I collected them all. I went
to all fifty places where you can stand in front
of the angel wings on a wall and take a

(59:14):
selfie in in Los Angeles. So I completed the quest.
I did have to take a picture next to the
I Love you All in Austin. That was That was
part of the that was part of the trip. We
had to do it. Yeah cheers sign Yeah, well events,
pleasure having you as always, Where can people who find

(59:34):
you follow you all that good stuff? You can find
my writing on up rocks as always. Um podcasts, there's
the film Drup Prodcast, which is just us, you know,
cracking wise about current events and movies. And then we
do a the wire rewatch podcast called Pod Yourself the Wire.
That is a that's the second season of our original

(59:55):
podcast which was about the Sopranos, which was called Pod
Yourself a Gun. We're actually do ing a live Pod
Yourself a Gun this Saturday with your producers are special
guests and yeah, that should be that should be a
good time. That's an s F sketch fest. Amazing. Where
is that the piano fight bar? That's a fano fight
that's right just for people? A ya areas night gang.

(01:00:18):
I know you're out there because whenever we've had shows,
you pull up, So definitely pull up to that. If
you like fighting and and pianos and also the pianos,
come on down. Are you? Are you doing a whole
like sort of retrospective. I think, oh yeah, Matt was saying,
you guys gotta you guys got some fun stuff. Well,
we hadn't done an episode about the Many Saints of
new work the follow up movies, so we're gonna do that.

(01:00:38):
We're gonna do our the Many Saints of Newark episode
as a live show. Oh any previews? Are you also
an apologist for the Many Saints? Um? I wouldn't say
I'm an apologist. I thought it was. I feel like
it as a as a pilot for like a future
TV show, I kind of enjoyed it, But as a
movie doesn't I don't think. Don't think David Chase knows

(01:01:01):
the movie format well, So it's like you get weird
storylines that take up too much time in the movie
and then kind of don't pay off. Yeah, he was
saving it for a future episode. Yeah, awesome. Is there
a tweet or some work of social media or just
media in general, uh, TV show, film anything? Yeah, I

(01:01:24):
saw tweet I liked this morning and it sort of
plays into our eminem discussion. This is from Murder x Brian.
The only Wolke mascot left standing is the musa x
booger Man. Yeah, King, King, that's funny. And what what
is your movie film of the year? Do you have?

(01:01:45):
You announced that? You know, I liked a movie called
Funny Pages that I really wish more people saw. And
I think if that was really good, I mean just
in terms of a lot of weird people, a lot
of people that look like growing up garbage pail kids.
It's gonna tasting. Yeah, you see the director, this is
the first movie he really has an eye for um casting.

(01:02:06):
I guess. Yeah, funds very interesting people. Miles Where can
people find you? What does the tweet or work of
media you've been enjoying? Twitter, Instagram, at Miles of Gray
or wherever there's at symbols And also check Jack and
I out on Miles and Jack got Matt Lucy's our
basketball podcast and if you want to hear me, just

(01:02:27):
spiral into it. Just despair watching fiance check me out
on four twenty day Fiance with Sophia Alexandra uh tweet,
I like, let's see. Oh. First of all, shout out
to every person who tagged me and shams that Shams
tweet saying that Ruey Hachimura was on his way to
the Lakers. Yes, fellow black and these legend is going

(01:02:48):
to be playing in the City of Angels. I'm very
excited about that. And thank you for everybody who was
like Miles will like that because he is also Blazian.
Is it is it official? That's happening? It's Sham's is
saying therefore finalizing it right, Okay, you know what I mean.
It looks it looks like it's it looks it looks
like it's happening. And plus like the Lakers love the Wizard,

(01:03:08):
like I don't know, we've we were cozy together when
it comes to trade, so it feels like there might
not be too much friction there. Um. So shout out
to everybody who tagged me in that because yes, I
do look up to this man even though he's younger
than me. And then another tweet is from at lob
Chansky tweeted, I think it's so cool that every CEO
at every company suddenly decided exactly five to seven percent
of their workforce needed to not work anymore. What a

(01:03:29):
weird coincidence. Huh huh huh what was that about? Huh? Yeah?
You can find me on Twitter at Jack Underscore O'Brian.
Do recommend Neptune frost on. I feel like we might
have cut it out when I did last time, but
that's gonna be my media recommendation. That movie fucking rules. Uh,

(01:03:51):
sci fi musical very cool. And also a movie called
The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. I
didn't watched that. So my six year old favorite genre
of movie and the only one he's interested in watching
right now, is robot movies. So we went. We went
hard on it with Star Wars in the past week.

(01:04:11):
What about robot Jocks. Yeah, I don't know, Jack now up, dude,
that ship is wild robot j o X. Okay, sorry
I was spelling it wrong in my head. Of course
I know robot Jocks. I actually don't have to know

(01:04:32):
robot jocks. Oh it's something. Oh man, it's like it's
like Jude in mex Suits. Just it's it's about a
future world war. There's no more war, so countries just
have you know, they do war by with with with robots. Yeah. Yeah,
that's more realistic than real steel where it was like
underground robot. This is full on sanctioned. Yeah, like yeah,

(01:04:57):
all these people just like scrapped together giant robots that
they can box with in this abandoned warehouse. It was PG. Damn.
I didn't realize the robotox was PG. I thought it
was like more hardcore than that, but that could have
just been all these movies from me five. Ye, all
these movies like Jaws as PG. And like you have

(01:05:19):
to do a second round of googling to be like, wait,
what is actually appropriate to a child? Because yes, I
saw it when I was four Star Wars is not
apparently appropriate for six year olds, but close enough two
years off. Look, if I'm watching Cronenberg's Naked Lunch as
a seven year old, you know, and that's that's what
I thought, But it turns out that like that rule

(01:05:41):
doesn't apply. Like if I watched Indiana Jones when I
was for like, my kids are gonna be fine with it,
and yeah they'll be as emotionally malagest. Anyways, you can
find us on Twitter at daily zi. Guys were at
the Daily Zigeist on Instagram. We have a face, a
fan page on a website, Daily zeitgeis dot com, where

kind of like this reggae disco Like this album is
a reggae disco masterpiece. Somewhere to described it. But this
track is called Love Misunderstood and it's really dumb. So
