Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season one, eight seven,
Episode two, After My Heart Radio. This is a podcast
where we take a deep dive into America's share consciousness.
Uh that was guttural, yeah, from our special guest cost today.
It's Wednesday, June two one. My name is Jack O'Brien,

(00:21):
a k guess who's back back again. It is Jack
to do trends and the show tad easy with Miley
and Hosnie. And that's that's all I got And I'm
thrilled to be joined as uh, not as always, but

(00:43):
as I am occasionally uh by our special guest co host.
I'm I'm really burgundying it. If you have it on
the script, I'm gonna read it as Hoole's okay, try
to be joined by today's very special guest co host.
He is the time producer of this show. He is

(01:03):
the very talented, very lovely Mr DJ Daniel good Man.
It seems to me to stream sometimes and for Daniel
that's so weird. Sometimes playing it takes too and he
always wims shadow Christy amouch main for that double win
win rhyme. That's okay, fam, It's okay. It was a

(01:25):
very last second a k A. You don't need to
feel bad about it, but yes, hello, Hi DJ Daniel
here so thrilled to be back in the Wow. And
he went with for someone named Daniel. He didn't go
with the Daniel song by by Elton John. You're right,
I could have gone with a totally different Elton John

(01:46):
song dedicated to me. But the last Daniel, my co host,
you are younger than me. I should have done that.
That's not me, bro, because that's all it's not written
from the perspective of Daniel stripped his relation. That's fair,
very fair, very fair, and we are relations. Uh well,

(02:06):
as if it's not enough to have one total asshole
on the show today and teach Daniel, we got another
another one for you. Uh. He is the host of
the Secretly Incredibly Fascinating podcast, one of the finest humans

(02:26):
that I've ever known, formerly the host of the Cracked podcast.
A very counted and hilarious human being. He is Mr
Alex Schmitt. Wow. Thank you, Thank you guys so much.
Tramping back It's an honor. That's uh. That's such a
nice intro. I think I only laughed over most of it.
Thank you for a k A Schmidy the clam. What's

(02:50):
happening man, welcome back, Thank you. I'm doing great. Yeah,
we uh, we're vaccinated, we're healthy at summer. We're just
talking about I just got engaged. There's just a lot
of good things going on there, a lot of good things. Yeah,
shout out to you and your lovely fiance. Congratulations to

(03:11):
you both. Yeah, yeah, it's I had my optimism for
post pandemic times tempered by having to travel last week
and then deciding to travel unwisely this weekend. And yeah,
it's wild out there. Well we'll actually get to that.
Like the airports, Yeah, the airports are wild. The Amtrak

(03:35):
is wild. You know. We did a train trip because
the uh, you know, the five year old is is
super into trains right now. So we did that and
that was fun. But then I don't even know if
I should say what we did because we're gonna get demolished.
But yeah, we went to Sea World. You're like, no,

(03:59):
I meant it doesn't matter. You don't have to say
oh no oh Jack, no, no, no, no no. Because
the San Diego Zoo was sold out and I did
all this last minute because that's the kind of guy
I am really scrambling. But SeaWorld sucks, not just because
of its politics and treatment of animals, but because it

(04:21):
is a bad place to go anyways. But the zoo
not a bad place, Alex, you used to work at
a zoo. Among many interesting things, but you used to
work at a zoo. You are a one time Jeopardy champion,
But the zoo thing is relevant to the sentence that
I just said. Can you talk about that a little bit,

(04:42):
your zoo experience. I think you just listed my two
greatest dreams as a child, which I'd very fortunately gotten
to do. I wanted to be a zoo tour guide
in wind Chapardy and then I didn't he and it
was the Brookfield Zoo outside Chicago. I was a tour
guide there. I was a motor Safari adventure guide. It's
like a three car tram where you stand on the
back or dry even the front, show people animals. It's
amazing nice. Yeah I was. I was picturing you on

(05:04):
a motorcycle when you said motors so far, kind of
like Chris Pratt in Jurassic World. Yeah yeah, yeah, um,
like I train a bear to be my friend like
that one after Yeah, yeah, come on and then it
comes with me. Yeah, I say, people, you're just buds. Yeah,

(05:26):
all right, we're gonna get to know you a little
bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our
listeners a few of the things we're talking about today.
You know, we gotta blast from the recent past. Over
the weekend when there was a Q conference or a
QUE I don't know, uh, do your own research festival,

(05:46):
and we learned that a lot of people still believe
in Q. They were specifically calling for a mean Mars
style coup in America. We'll talk about what that means.
We'll also talk about why there's reason to believe the
president is still on board the Q train. We will
talk about how Americans officially don't know how to act

(06:08):
post pandemic necessarily. But yes, just some well we'll blame
a few of them, but yeah, Well we'll talk about
why that is, some coping mechanisms. We'll talk about possibly
the effect weather continues to have on COVID spread and
whether that's being under reported. We will talk about the
weekend box office BOFO bio. We all like to say

(06:34):
a phrase that we all like to use. We'll talk
about how a quiet place too did about what people
were hoping it would and one turpet that read those
tea leaves. Uh. And then we will of course do
on a Hosni's streaming corner all of that plenty more.
But first, Alex, we like to ask our guests, what
is something from your search history that is revealing about

(06:54):
who you are? Yeah? I when checked and I recently
searched for Wingspan card game because we we went for
like one of our first sitting down indoors with people's
has been board game Nights and we played this amazing
game where you just gather cards with birds on them
and feel like you're one with nature. It's amazing. What
so I bought it? Very amazing. Yeah. What, um, it's like, uh, sorry,

(07:20):
I'm having having trouble real life Pokemon cards. It's like
bird watching, but indoors indoor bird watching. Yeah, it's basically
it's a beautiful game because every card is a different bird.
There's no duplicates, and so you just try to catch
all of the birds that you want and then lay

(07:40):
the most eggs and put the most in a tree.
And like it's competitive, but it's not brutal. You know,
a lot of these advanced board games, it's like you
get together to to crush each other, you know, and
this one you just try to get the best birds together.
And yeah, it's just a really nice time. But but
the birds do all have like power ups and special abilities.
It's it's a pretty fun way to think about, like

(08:02):
chicken talking about Yes, let's go, that's fantastic. And is
it a collector like do you go and buy a
single set that is the same for everybody who buys
that single set? Or are there is it like magic
Togethering and Pokemon where you can get like a super bird?
Are there gold Foil? Are their foil birds? Right? Just

(08:25):
Hologram Eagle or whatever. The main boxes North America have
gotten very deep on this catalog. They also have a
European expansion, so you can get some euro birds going on.
It's a it's a whole thing. Yeah, And I don't
know that's been. That's been a very comfy like spending
time with people indoors again because there's a game element
and you do that and then you you reacclimatize to

(08:48):
like seeing other humans besides your one or two or
more people in your house. It's great. Yeah, that sounds
like the most civilized post pandemic activity that I can
possibly imagine, really compared to what we will discuss. What
is something you think is overrated? I think winter? I

(09:11):
can can go suck a lemon, don't need it. We like,
if you're in the southern hemisphere, I'm sorry, but we're
out of that season and I'm really glad about it.
It's there's nothing actually good about it, and and we
can forget it. This this is the best time right now. Yeah,
are you spring? Has spring? Uh sprung? Or are you
getting into the summer days where where you are on

(09:33):
the East Coast? Yeah? In North Carolina, we're getting real
summer and so it is hot. But I don't know.
I I grew up with winter outside Chicago, and then
I went to college and winter in Syracuse, and as
soon as I wasn't there, I like, I went to
college in winter. Yeah, it's just like when it comes
to Syracuse, that is winter. It is a geographic location

(09:57):
where winter has come continues to stay. Yeah, it doesn't
doesn't miss around. Yeah did you miss it when you
lived in Los Angeles? Not even a little bit. It
was amazing. I just I was like, oh you can
just not deal with this fantastic It was an option
this whole time, just south of us. You know, it's great. Yeah,

(10:18):
I missed the rhythm a little bit, not enough to
ever move away from Los Angeles, but I do enjoy
just the discomfort and shittiness of the the rest of
the country has to put up with. No. Uh. It
does like kind of break up time a little bit
in in a way that makes long term memory easier

(10:38):
to comprehend. But it also breaks up outfits nicely. Yeah,
that is the one. That is the one thing that
I missed. It's like, I totally agree with you where
it's like winter totally can suck a lemon. I'm not
with it. I don't want slashing my boots, but I
do miss being able to wear a long coat in
that fall area right before winter, when it's like it's
nice to bundle a little bit put a scarf on.

(10:59):
I miss that, Whereas, like you know, it could be
the most warming up I will do was putting on
slightly thicker sweatpants out here in l A. And that's it.
So you know, I would love to put a code
on again. That just sounds nice. Yeah, people who grew
up in l A like fetishized winter, like Miles and
Danial they have winter outfits for no reason. Yeah, like

(11:24):
maybe thro those three days we traveled to the East
Coast for Thanksgiving and that's about it. Yeah, I want
I want winter as a treat for a little bit, right,
I want. I want, like I want to briefly watch
the Peanuts go ice skating and especially and that's called
outside for the two days a minute and then forget
a little that was enough, like yeah, a little taste fun? Yeah,

(11:47):
what is something you think is underrated? I'm gonna go
with the novel Frankenstein because I don't know about other people.
Sometimes I will read to try to get sleepy, you know,
like you read a little bit of a book and
then actual Yeah, And earlier in the pandemic, I was like,
how can I just grab a book Project Gutenberg? What
do they have? And I forgot how good the novel

(12:07):
Frankenstein is. I could not sleep. I was like, okay,
time for a little sleepy reading. And it was gripping
like that that book still works. It's really well done.
Everyone should read it if they haven't. It's two years old.
Still fun. Yeah, you know the Frankenstein is actually the
doctor's name. Alex. I don't know if you knew that,
but yeah, I know, I know you're probably reading it

(12:32):
with visions of like Herman Monster in her head. But no,
Frankenstein was actually the doctor. The first time I read
it was very confusing to me. I got a whole
paper to rewrite. Goodness, damn it, high school. There's gonna
fail his class. Did we all read it in school?

(12:55):
I feel I feel like it comes up in school
and it's one of the few, like science fiction, horror
or anything that you get to read their Yeah, that's true.
It was like one of the cooler books that you
got to read in school. And also I wish they
had taught the story about how it was written, because
wasn't it like a week long like group party like

(13:16):
Opium Bender, Like wasn't everybody just like getting drunk and
high in a in a cabin writing it together? Yeah,
a couple of writers all at once. And Mary Shelley
was I think nineteen or eighteen. So this is a
basically a high school senior turning out a globe spanning
significant book in a party with weird people. Yeah, like

(13:38):
that's the movie you know when people say that's the movie,
that's the movie, right, that's yeah. Maybe you shouldn't have
told me that in high school, that a nineteen year
old gotten funked up for a week and wrote one
of the great works of English literature. Yeah, that's a
that's a good one alright. Well, speaking of important culture,

(13:59):
I do want to mentioned something. It's a belated update
on a story we've been following loosely. Uh, and that
is the story of Blippy, the children's entertainer Orange and
Blue because are his colors. Speaking of Syracuse, Yeah, in Chicago, Bears,

(14:19):
I'm surrounded by Orange and Blue, my tabreaking and the Nicks,
who unfortunately are what will be mentioned later on in
this because of certain fans behavior. But yeah, so Blippy,
you know, we we met. He came up because he's
very popular with children. I've managed to kind of keep

(14:39):
my kids away from him for the most part. It
hasn't like taken over their lives the way other entertainers have.
But he was he one time he shipped on his
friend's chest on camera when he was a younger man.
His name back then with Steve Grossman. That's a good
episode of Blippy though, right, like you go all out
when you're making flippy, that's you gotta you gotta break it,

(15:03):
can't go aheadway. I'm just going to add, you know,
not to be um actually are here. But I do
believe it was his friend's asked that he shipped on
And to me, that's just like I just love that
detail and that you know there there is there could
be like a prank element to it, where someone was
sleeping and you know, on the poop on their chest.
But but the fact that it was the but seems

(15:23):
so much more premeditated. It's like you had to stick
the ass out and everything and then poop on it.
I don't know, I just I love that. I feel
that detail so crucial and different, unique to a to
a defecation story. Yeah, we actually just as an update
on how I'm doing, Alex. We won't spend an entire
episode talking about this. Uh so oh yeah, that's where

(15:46):
I'm at. So good, I guess how Jack do good? Now? Well?
I I also and I don't know if it's partly
because you're a parent, but I feel like I learned
about entire cinematic universes when I talked to a parent
because they're like, oh yeah, Papa Pig had this whole
constellation of situations and characters they're in. They're they're just
out there, and then I learned them from shows like this.

(16:06):
It's great. So an important part of the Blippy cinematic
universe is that he wants pooped on his friends. But
and now people are up in arms because they have
recast Blippy, presumably Steve Grossman, the guy who you know
created the whole universe and is a big part of
the creative team, the Blippy team. Team Blippy is the

(16:28):
Blip Vengers. Sure yeah, but people are acting like, oh
you think we wouldn't notice? You think what you thought
that my kid was gonna not see this? Like they're
so mad. And so what happened was they did a
touring stage show of Blippy and Steve Grossman is just

(16:51):
a person who started making YouTube videos. He's not a
trained entertainer. He's not somebody who you know, you can
watch the videos and realized that's like part of the
charm is he's just a dude and some wacky clothes.
Who is you know, you feel like your dad's fun friend,

(17:11):
I'm assuming. So they cast somebody to play Blippy in
the stage show, and they were like, whoa, this guy
is really good at acting. I guess is that what
you call it? Acting and dancing and performing? And so
they tried to bring this other actor into play the
character of Blippy in a video and people, I'm just

(17:34):
gonna read some some quotes. Did they not think my
extremely observant four year old would notice a different dude
playing hashtag Blippy? Today? There was a new guy portraying Blippy,
and I wondered, if this is like doctor who where
every few years here she regenerates. So that's okay, Uh,
that's probably a fine interpretation. But then one mom wrote,

(17:59):
what the heck happened to Hippy? My kid noticed within
four seconds that it was a different guy, and she
was ticked. Ticked. I don't know, the classic the one,
the one comment that seems like they said, I wish
Blippy could just introduce us to his quote friend and
maybe he could wear the same outfit, just different colors. Yeah, Like,

(18:19):
what why do it's not a we're not all trying
to trick our kids, guys? Why why is everybody like
reacting like this was an attempt to like pull the
wool over or like it was like that had been
put out to pasture, and like you could just be like, no,
there's multiple Blippy's. Blippy is you know a company of
people just treat your kids like, I don't know, like

(18:42):
they don't need to be lied to, right, right, this
could be a little a throwback to the to the
Blues Clues era of the Big Steve transition, when we
got New Steve and we had to see Steve walk
out the door for the last time and say goodbye kids.
It was a heartbreaking handoff that I think maybe some people,
maybe our generation or or more closely, my sister's generation,

(19:05):
never recovered from that that final goodbye to see where
they're like, you know what, we just need a hard
cut from one to the other. We can't have this
this like we can't put them out to pasture because
then they'll they'll be too sad to watch the other
Blippy go. And it's like, I don't know, well, maybe
maybe it worked, maybe it didn't. I'm not sure here, Yeah,

(19:25):
and and also we just need a more peaceful transition
of power between the Blippies, right, Like our blippy system
depends on a smooth recognition of the next Blippy who
won the election? Right diff to let the white smoke go.
The white smoke that was like, the new Blippy has
been elected at the old Slippy show now passed the

(19:46):
giant hat or the the the orange glasses off from
one to the other. Wow. I do wonder how much
the people who are up in arms over the Blippy
transition having common with like people who were at the
q con. I wonder if there was like a small
shoe people being like, what is this ship? Anyways? Keep

(20:07):
your eyes open, guys, That's all I'm saying. Blippy. You
know they're gonna try and fool you with this new Blippy.
Don't buy it. Don't buy it my Blippy original list.
I also, I just from what you guys said, I
really liked that the the original Blippy. It looks like
his real name was Stephen Grossman, but his stage name

(20:29):
was Steven John. For some reason, his stage name was Steven.
I feel I feel like it was huge news for
the Steven community that this guy existed, and then also
the poop thing. But he's really a Stephen. Okay, we're fine,
He's not one of us, like us Stevens are fine.
This is this is different. How is Steven spelled? It's

(20:50):
stev I n in the thing I'm reading. Yeah, wow,
I don't know why. Yeah, I respect it. What was
a guy named Stephen and he was like, I really
need a stage name. Steven pretended to be a Steven.
I don't know. Again, one of those times when it
seems like somebody was forced to make a binding, permanent

(21:14):
decision within a second, like at gunpoint. Yeah, yeah, Evan,
Like it was somewhere between using his name and Kevin.
Yeah yeah, like when you have two ideas for how
to say a saut once Sunday in the middle of it. Yeah,

(21:35):
all right, let's take a quick break and we will
be right back to talk about less important things. And
we're back and we all gotta I don't know if

(21:55):
it was a rude awakening, but you know, I think
I think we've been aware that the Q. The Q
movement is still out there, still going strong, but had
a big weekend. Last weekend there was a Texas convention
where various speakers, including a congressman and Michael Flynn, just

(22:17):
you know, repeated the lies that the Q movement is
based on, like the foundational lies that it's stolen Michael
Flynn even when when asked like why America hasn't had
a mean mar style uprising or Q, which, in case
you're not familiar, that means that like protesters are shot,

(22:39):
journalists are put in prison, and a new undemocratically elected
government is put into power by the military. He said
he thinks that would be great, that we should have that.
That's awesome. And I think it's easy to dismiss the
Q movement as sort of a collection of delusional, you know,

(23:00):
narcissists shouting to your own research as their singular argument
for every bizarre belief they've made up, because like that
is what it is. But it also I feel like,
first of all, Trump is totally on board with this.
Maggie Haberman just announced that he's been saying that he

(23:21):
fully believes that he will be reinstated as president by August.
And that's like where his sort of laser focus on
the audits, Uh, those goal posts back, just keep moving
to back a little bit more. I was it was
March for the first storm, and that's August. He's maybe
like October, I'm telling you, October that's gonna be the money.

(23:42):
But they're leaning into a new thread, which is that
America needs to have a M. E. M. Mar style
KU where the military deposes the democratically elected ruler and
selves their own like as like that that feels significant
to me. I know it's easy like a lot of people,

(24:03):
but but and like especially because like I feel like
in the mainstream media there's this division where it's like, oh,
the Cube movement is silly, but it's being led by
Donald Trump, who is also leading the Republican Party. Like
fully the way no like is more powerful, has more
power in that party than I feel like any individual

(24:24):
has ever had in one of the major parties, and
in like u s history, like he just determines what
happens there. Yeah, so I don't know, less than three
years we're going to have a major presidential election where
one of the major parties platform is this is Q
and hun ship is stop the Steel and is basically

(24:47):
tacitly an approval of an armed uprising. Yea. And if
if I remember the previous election, like the official Republican platform,
the platform was just of one page dot commence staple
to the front of the ten platform and it said
we support Donald J. Trump. That was the that was
they didn't they didn't have like issues for I think

(25:09):
the first time in an American election the major party
wasn't like this our candidate, and also this is what
we believe. They were just like, no, this this wonderful,
strange man. That's our entire platform. Anyway, this is democracy,
that's what we like. And any and any issues at
all that were brought to the table, we're just to
refute them. We're gonna be like, that's not a thing.

(25:30):
You don't believe in. That climate change, we're not. You know,
that's a that's a liberal hoax right there. It's just
everything is everything is anti You're right, there's there's no
ground to stand on. And I feel like this is
because it's been politicized, and because Democrats recognize that it's
been politicized, they are, you know, the right wing, like

(25:53):
a right wing terror group or a group that's threatening
to overthrow the government is being treated more passively by
the mainstream than like if a congressman and a former
you know, major military official we're talking about overthrowing the
US government for any other cause, it would be like

(26:15):
the end of the news cycle. But just because of
all the normalization that has happened, and because of the
Fox News advantage that the right has where they you know,
have all mainstream commentators and mainstream Democrats frightened of being attacked,
that they just this is being treated more passively than

(26:38):
it would if any left wing group like made similar claims.
It's just because of what has gone on with the
Republican Party and like how the Democrats have just kind
of been controlled by the right wing media over the
last you know, fifteen years. It's we're now at a
point where they're going to get away with us. Yeah,

(26:59):
And I wonder how much of this just springs from
most Americans don't know anything about me Edbar, Like you
can switch governments and me and Bar It's like, well
I want to switch governments, not learning anything more, right, Yeah,
I mean it seems to be working out. Well, oh
really you are you following me? Yeah? I mean it's

(27:23):
still a country, right, Yeah, I don't know. We I
I remain really filled about the previous election because there
won't be a Republican president until January of and I
think they're not processing it very well. It seems to
be the issue. Well, speaking of not processing it very well,
so people are seemingly waking up to the fact that

(27:48):
sports fans act badly a lot of the time. But
I can't tell if it's more now than there's ever
been in the past, or if it's just we're kind
of more looking for it. But what is unavoidable is that,
like there's there's been a continuation of a trend we
talked about on last week's shows where someone threw a

(28:11):
water bottle at Kyrie Irving after he called Boston sports
fans out for being hostile and racist, and the fan
base spent days accusing him of overreacting and being dramatic,
and then they were like, yeah, you're so over overreacting
that we're going to prove you exactly confirm all of
the beliefs in one swift moment spectacular. It was like,

(28:34):
culturally there was so much riding on him not throwing
a water bottle at Kyrie Irving that he just like
couldn't help himself. And then a fan of the Sixers game,
which I think this one is a type of mania
that has been less covered but is equally there. A
fan of the Sixers game on Monday night ran onto

(28:57):
the court and had to be tackled and like arrested, um,
which is more the diffuse mania of just like people
just having so much energy and not knowing how to act.
And yeah, I don't know if you guys have like
anecdotally experienced anything. I was on a Amtrak train where
a passenger who is shockingly a white male, refused to

(29:18):
wear a mask and spent fifteen minutes calling the conductor
of the train a bitch uh and everything else he
could get his brain on before she stopped the train
and kicked him off. Which is kind of cool to
just like kick someone off a train, like just between
stopped there you go. I know, I know trains go fast,

(29:39):
but what a gentle form of transportation? Where is taken?
Come on, like chill out. I was at I was
at a Bethma over the weekend getting a supplies for
a Memorial Day party, and there were a couple of
people there who were so amazed by the size of

(29:59):
a or bottle that they were almost running around the
store with it, just going can you believe this thing?
Look at the size of this And it scared my
girlfriend a little bit, and you could tell everybody else
was like, can you please calm down? We're in a bed.
Is there's plenty of BEV for everyone? Come on, exactly?
Was it like a magnum bottle? Yeah, it was a

(30:22):
larger than average. It was. It was a very large
liquor bottle. But I feel like at this point, you know,
I feel like I've seen enough music videos to know
what a bottle of that size looks like, and I
would see it and simply identify, like, ah, this was
one of those bottles. Yes, I've seen these before in
the movies and the television, as opposed to like, could
you believe this? I feel like an ant next to

(30:42):
this giant bottle of takoyla. It's right, please sir, please,
like literally pacing around the store just bottle in hand,
like trying to show other people. It was like, what
what are you doing? What are we doing here? Again?
This is a bet? Right? The sports stories make me
think of I'm going to a sports game on Friday,
a minor league baseball game here and d for the

(31:04):
first like sporting event and forever. And then also I
follow the major league team, the Chicago White Sox and
their most recent rainy game there was a streaker apparently,
and then also the streaker tried to hide in the
tarp that they put over the field for the ring.
So I think I think there's some innovative human behavior

(31:24):
that's kind of groundbreaking. Yeah, I do wonder like how
much of so you know, there's been a lot of
conversations about like anxiety, like people feeling post pandemic anxiety.
I think people are understanding what social anxiety is for

(31:45):
maybe the first time now that they've spent a year,
you know, in in solitary uh. And so I think
we like alcohol was built to deal with that, Like
I was a is yes, so good at helping with
social anxiety. And when you have social anxiety, as somebody

(32:08):
who has spent a lifetime treating social anxiety with alcohol,
I think there's something unhealthy about just having that crutch
that is like your solution, and there's like unprocessed conflict
that is just gonna come out in energy in some
unhealthy way. If if you're just taking problem, apply booze,

(32:33):
it's going to be fun. But occasionally you're gonna try
and hide in the tarp as they cover them cover
the field during a rain game. To me, it sounds
like that's striker forgot how a slipping slide works. It's
like you go over the tarp. You need you need
to go on top of the tarp to get the
full you know, advantage of the water on the you know,
and really get a nice slide going. I mean, I'm

(32:54):
just the tarpest new I mean, I don't know, right off,
the cuffs are like, well, it's been years since he
used to slip and slide. It's hard to remember exactly
there is. I feel like one consequent trend, or like
parallel trend, is that people are being a little bit

(33:15):
more respectful of athletes as people, like as humans. I mean,
they're they're experiencing ship that no humans should have to experience.
But I do think that it has been commonplace in
the past. For instance, Russell Westbrook got popcorn dumped on
him after an injury, which is sucking, horrible. But I

(33:36):
do think it is also something that wasn't all that
unexpected coming from Philadelphia sports fans, right, who threw batteries
at Santa Claus during an Eagles game in the in
the eighties. But uh so Naomi Osaka, who's the best
tennis player in the world, just so she was like,

(33:56):
I don't want to do the press because I have
angst idea around talking to the media and it makes
being part of a major like a very unhealthy atmosphere
for me. And major League Tennis, I'm gonna call it.
That's not the name, but you got a major league,

(34:17):
the National Football Tennis that's the one. Uh was like,
not really that support n f T s tales football Tennis.
Thank you to my bros. All right, So n f
T think that it is a nasty football to But

(34:45):
so she was basically like, I feel like ship when
I have to face the media. Um. That makes sense
to me because the media kind of US athletes, especially
athletes in like these individual sports as both like adversary
and thing to exploit and uh not necessarily as like
a person who they're looking out for. Um. So she

(35:08):
ended up withdrawing from the French Open and has seen
some criticism, But I think for the most part, people
think it's progress that somebody can be like I need
a break for my mental health to uh like not
not play tennis and be on a national stage and
be like constantly interview which I think it's cool. Yeah, yeah,

(35:32):
I think I think anybody criticizing her should watch the
entirety of a sports press conference. It's not it's not
a valuable use of time for anyone involved, and the
sportswriter should find some other way to produce something about
the game, Like watching it right now when you hit
that one ball? Uh, can you tell us what you

(35:52):
were thinking, like as as the ball went over the
net and went where you wanted it to go, were
you like nice? Essentially? Yeah? Yeah, essentially, I was just
uh doing the thing that I practiced forty hours a day,
and uh paid off in that moment. I mean, no, no, no,

(36:17):
And then like forty other ants go up and asking
equally a name question and then so that's that would
be one thing is if they were just asking really
dumb questions, but then they get like crushed for saying
something that is like misinterpreted in some way. Uh. And
the only the only like I think I mentioned this

(36:38):
on last week's show, the only like classic moments from
press conferences are where athletes and coaches become laughing stocks,
like the practice uh and playoffs. I actually used Jim
More as cadence from Playoffs for Alan Iverson's practice. But
that's fine, well, obviously perfect in this way Anyways, there's

(37:00):
other post pandemic things happening, like New York is deciding
whether to keep to go cocktails as a thing once
we open back up, which I I personally feel like
like I was like, yeah, maybe that's like slightly irresponsible,
but I don't know, maybe maybe it's fine. But then
I saw that the people who are lobbying against it

(37:20):
is liquor stores. So it's like, oh, you're just right,
You're just mad that people are consuming a more responsible
amount of liquor and paying more for it. Yeah. I'm
hoping that the response from this whole thing is to
take things from it and not completely pushed to the
side like that. That was then, yes, put it away,
put it away away, not thinking about it again. No more,

(37:42):
no more of this pandemic we didn't exist and happen.
It's like, let's say, let's learn from that whole thing
and evolve. It's great. Yeah, I mean it's great. It's great.
It's great as relative me. Let me let me walk
that back a little bit. Yeah, we could be we
could be better from the shared traumatic experience that we
all had. Let's do that for sure. That's to take Daniel,

(38:04):
when you when you said, put it away, put it away.
I was imagining that huge PEVMO bottle. You're like, just
just shove it back in the shelf under the weight
of ye and I was imagining a shirtless Anthony Keatis Uh,
put it away, put it away, put it away? Now?
Is that one where he's like covered in silver paint

(38:26):
or I'm from a generation where there were things called
music videos. I like. I like that all the famous
red hat chili pepper outfits are either like body change
or one sock that's whether famous progressing. That's right, Oh, Jack,
you are a percent right about that one good call
with silver body paint. Yeah. I had to watch a

(38:48):
whole two seconds of this music that confirmed that, Yep,
you are right, this is the one, and just really
enunciating the hell out of some words um and that one,
and then I do wanna this is more of a
I'm having trouble processing this strand of the COVID story, uh,

(39:08):
And I wanted to just kind of get you guys
thoughts on what you've seen of it. So basically there
there's an article in the Associated Press that is, you know,
Europe sees a drop in the virus just in time
for summer, a summer tourism in time for summer, Europe
sees dramatic fall and virus cases, and it never once

(39:30):
mentions a relationship between climate and the weather that locations
experiencing and COVID trends. And that's something that we like
talked about before and then it kind of like it
went away despite the fact that we gave it the
t d Z bump. I can't believe it wasn't like
all over the news the next day, Um, but like,

(39:54):
how many shots is that bump? That exactly there you go.
At the same time, there was like a story on
the Wall Street Journal about how like southern states have
largely faced a lower risk of transmission during the winter
and spring months because people spend more time outside and

(40:15):
also it tends to be more humid there, so like
in northern states where people were spending time inside because
of heating which drives out the air indoors, they just
didn't see as high transmission. And that's especially notable when
you realize that they are also among the lowest in

(40:36):
terms of people getting vaccinated. So it's just weird because
when you read the whole a p article, they don't
mention this once, but then you read the Wall Street
Journal article and I'll just read this one paragraph. These
are outdoor societies, and the effects of the outdoors is
much greater than the public appreciate, said Marty Macary, a

(40:58):
cancer surgeon and the deemiologist at Johns Hopkins University, someplace
called Johns Hopkins. I don't know, uh, he said, hair flow,
seasonality and outdoor culture are probably primary drivers of the
reduction in cases. And that's like when you look at
the time when America had its worst spikes, it was
like during the winter, and when you look at like

(41:20):
times when it sort of went down, it was during
the summer. And now we're like at a good place.
But I don't know, it just feels like one of
those things where And I think this just generally applies
to both parents talking to their kids about blippy and
the mainstream media talking to Americans that like just tell

(41:43):
the truth, like just trust people to have access to
the truth. I just feel like anytime you're hiding something
because you're afraid that it's going to be like used
by this group or that group, it just sucks things up.
It makes it like overall harder for people to trust
the mainstrew media. If that's what's going on here, that

(42:05):
they're just like hiding this fact because they think it'll
make people act more irresponsible during summer months. Yeah they really,
they really should just go ahead and tell people everything.
Like you can. You can borderline and tell your child
that Flippy pooped on his friends, but right, children understand
poop and the same. Yeah yeah, but in a more

(42:31):
serious way, Yeah, tell tell people how this public safety
needs to work. We we've had such chaotic messaging throughout
the whole thing, really really rough. It's been chaotic messaging.
I feel like on on everything, there should there should
be an honesty board. That's that's like, here's how I mean.
I feel like it's just, um, what's that that blog
that just rates things like pants on fire or PolitiFact? Right?

(42:54):
Like you know, but yeah, PolitiFact or whatever it is
should just be part of how it was gets reported
in general, because like this, this spin does not help
anyone get a better idea of how we need to
move forward as a society. Yeah, but that polit effect
has its own issues in dest on a tone issue exactly.
That's star right. They keep lighting all these pants on

(43:16):
fire because pants all right, let's take a quick break
and we'll be right back. It's got to be bad
for the environment, right, it's a lot of being released
pants braining, I think so. And we're back, and we

(43:45):
are joined by super producer on a Hosni whoop Hi,
And I saved a bo anecdote for you for so
yesterday the first time, and I was in a long

(44:05):
time being in public. We're on the train. He picked
up my diet coke half full, smelled it deeply, and
then said, in a voice that was loud enough for
the whole train car to hear, it smells. It smells
like the coronavirus fucking burned me. Many It doesn't really

(44:31):
make sense. Oh, you guys were blacklisted on that train.
And it was annoying because I was already refusing to
I was refusing to wear my mask, so come incredible.
This is going to hurt my ability to argue with
the conductor tell that story as if it wasn't me.

(44:53):
Smells like coronavirus. Yeah, by the way, and I saw you,
guys my new giant bottle of tequila. Look at it.
Look at it sounds right here. I guess My question is,
how does bo know what coronavirus smells like? That's the
question that we all just like chemicals. It's like this

(45:15):
diet coke is not good for you. Man. That would
be amazing if he was, like if babies born at
the time or like, who are infants at the time
of coronavirus, like could smell the coronavirus? Like that was
the stupid superpower that they developed. Anyway, that's my theory.

(45:37):
Now I'm using him as a coronavivirus for all things.
All Right, that's enough anecdotes about children. Let's talk about
a quiet place too, because the box office is back baby. Yeah,
did anybody see a quiet place a QP two Not yet?

(45:58):
Not yet. Have you guys on to do do a movie
since things have reopened? Also not yet? Yeah, we were
there's an Alamo Drafthouse in Rally and we were actually
thinking about going, but we have not gone. Yeah, but
we feel like comfortable. I think we're ready to do it.
Get the food in the beer and everything. Yeah, I
think I'm waiting for the whole fast fifty fifty. I

(46:24):
feel like it's still down a little bit. It didn't
hit sixty million, which is what people were expecting. A
fifty seven, so it's close. But I think, like the
reviews were so good, the there was such little competition
that I think this is still a sign that, like,
people aren't quite as willing to go to movies until

(46:44):
you don't have to wear a mask the whole time,
would be my guess, and can just wear it use
a mask as a popcorn muzzle, which is how I
planned to repurpose my mask muzzle. Yeah, hell yeah, the
old feedbag, the old popcorn feedbag. Well, I also don't
know if I like missed the theater. I've I of
the things I have missed in the pandemic, like especially

(47:06):
when I was winter and we couldn't do stuff outside
that was hard. But but the movie theater, yea, that's
probably not top ten, right, Yeah, yeah, I'm probably there
with you, even though it used to be like my
favorite thing to do. It's also like, although outdoor movie
theaters and like drive throughs are a one of those
things from the pandemic that I hope hangs around because

(47:26):
those are those are really nice and fun. Yet those
those existed before the pandemic, I know, but they weren't
as common. I feel like maybe, right, I think my awareness.
I hope persists that those exist. All right, it is time,

(47:47):
of course for superproducer on a hosnie a streaming corner.
We need to get you a drop one. Okay, let
me hear it. I have a theme song. Wait, hold on,
how to go? Wait? Well, I actually have to I
have a I have an opener and a closer okay,
I which I don't recall, So we're just gonna improvise
it again. All right, it's streaming. It's streaming. My family

(48:13):
is missing, okay, I thanks for singing along. Nice, nice, nice, Alex.
In case you aren't aware on it, spends most of
our days in the office back when we worked in
the same room, improvising songs, and they usually have to
do with the fact that her family is missing and
I can't I can't find them, and then she can't

(48:35):
find them, can't. It's actually really taken situation, except there's
nobody with a particular set of skills. That's actually like
a really sad situation, more like two and crime. That's
a nice thing to hear about it. I mean, we're laughing,
but my family is missing, so yeah, we laugh. Not

(48:59):
to cross. First off, shall we talk about anything around
Mayor of Easttown before we get sure you're it just ended.
Mayor of Eastown just ended. Guys. If you guys have
not been watching Mayor of Eastown, you have sure been
missing out. Mayor of Eastown has been a great enjoyment

(49:21):
towards the end of the pandemic. You know, I've really
enjoyed watching Kate Winslet completely engross herself into this small
town outside of Pittsburgh, lady, and sure, Pennsylvania person, small
town Pennsylvania person where she vapes, she wears tall collars,

(49:42):
what are those things called turtlenecks, tall colors, tall collars, turtlenecks,
and uh walks around and drives a big old suv
because that's what it's like to live in small town Pennsylvania.
Great finale, great show. My god, why was Guy Pearson?

(50:02):
Everyone's asking, right, that's I don't even know if that's
that should be considered a spoiler. And I got accused
of spoiling something the other day, but and sorry for
any spoilers. Spoilers if if in it, Piers is in it.
But I guess the question of why he's in it
suggests like I assumed he was going to somehow play

(50:24):
into the overall plot. But he did not, I mean
kind of did, but like, you know what, Yeah, let's
not say anymore because it could be a spoiler. Spoiler, spoiler,
my family got another spoiler for you. Kate Winslet actually British,

(50:46):
so I did know that she was British. However, the
experience of going from having watched the full season without
seeing her speak in any other accent to then there's
like after the finale interview and just like hearing her
suddenly go posh on me, it was like I was
I was shocked. She was like acting is magic and

(51:11):
we should not trust it. The actor who plays her
her daughter, also British. I was like, who are all
these people? They're all British Brits. Yeah, it actually makes sense. Well,
because the trouble is Philadelphia's fictional. So who do you cast?
You have to you have to write Californians. I guess
I don't know who you find, but I just assumed
you cast a bunch of British people because they're like,

(51:32):
that's like kind of the first one of the first
areas they colonized, you know. Yeah, I don't really know
for sure. But you know, they're like, just bring them down.
They get it. They could probably hit that Delco accent
because it's kind of similar to what they used to
talk like or whatever. Right, yeah, so I mean that's
a linguists theorized that that was what the British accent

(51:54):
sounded like, and the current British accent is fake. They're
all faking it. It's just no, it's just the accents
just evolve. They and I do think a part of
it was like, okay, well now that vap places sexists.
But it is true the original British accents sounded more
like a Boston accent than it didn't what it sounds

(52:14):
like now, I'm not even joking. If that's very real,
that's very real. And then they were like, god, these
Bostonites and monsters, let's talk sound like this. That's a
little more Liverpool than I meant it to be. They
were all on Kyrie side right, throwing water bottles and
basketball players like, we don't roll like that, We're more

(52:40):
like this. Now I can't do it. I'm sorry. I apologize.
That sounded great now, that was perfect. Dan's displeasure at
your British accent was audible. I'm just no, no, no, no,
no, no no no no. I loved it. You not. I'm sorry.
I apologized every one. Pay sound cancer Alex Daniel. Did

(53:02):
you guys watch Mayor? I think we're both gonna say no, yeah,
I don't watch it. I was catching up on Ted Lasso.
That's what. That's what I that was my streaming recently.
We were we in like the same house or something same.
Maybe it's great. I love fantastic, totally thrilling and very
very up my alley of like kindness wins out. That's

(53:24):
just like very heartwarming and winning, and everybody does a
great performance and you're still rooting for the bad guys
at times, and it's like, you know what, this show
was great wins me over entirely. Yeah. Absolutely, jokes are good. Also,
I grew up in the Midwest and also follied soccer
as a kid because my my best friend was from Italy,
and so I like clued into everything. I just knew

(53:46):
everything that was going on all at once. It's like
that in both ponds. You know, it was great, fantastic.
I don't see uh Ted Lasso on on a streaming corner,
So I ask you guys, just shut up streaming corner shade.
You wanted to speak about ted La just kidding. I
haven't watched it. I watched the first episode, but I

(54:08):
never really got into it because everyone's so fucking nice.
I was like, grow up. So I completely skipped over it.
But I have heard a lot of good things about it,
and I probably will eventually go back. Yeah, that is
definitely the show that I am most aware that I
am missing and would love and just sheer inertia of

(54:29):
the energy it takes to get into a new show
and the energy I do not have. It's like it's
fun in a way where the best character might be
a guy who shows up like more than halfway through,
like there's so much going on, like it's already good,
and then new fun stuff all the time. It's great.
Yeah again, we will cut that up because hey, the

(54:52):
stream quarter I asked for one thing. I said, no,
ted Lasso talk, get ahold of your show, take back control?
All right? What what is uh something you recommend? Another
one of my stream choices would be Bo Burnham's Inside.
Now you know, I don't love to promote tall white

(55:13):
men small white men. I hate it. I don't I
don't promote white men, but Bo Burnham what a talent.
I mean, unbelievable. This guy, I can't I can't even
I don't even know how to describe. I won't. I'm
not gonna give a lot away because he just does
this like really great kind of deep dive into internet culture.

(55:39):
And that's not even what I just said, it's not
even remotely doing it justice. But he films an entire
special inside one small room, which I'm assuming is like
the back house to his like nice house. It's like
a tiny room which just like recording equipment and just
you know, filming equipment in it. So I really recommend
it's on Netflix to his early days. Sure, yeah, I

(56:02):
mean actually I'm a fan of Bo Burnham for years
because I used to love his first show on MTV
called Zack Stone Is Gonna Be Famous or something like that.
It's really funny. I really recommend going back and watching
it if you guys ever, or if you missed it. Hilarious.
I knew back then I was like this kid, he's
got it, and let me tell you, I was right,

(56:22):
So I really recommend it. Like he's just so good.
Like he also towards the end, like you can see
the pandemic is breaking him and working on this special
is breaking him, and he's just very honest throughout all
of it. And uh, I loved it. I really enjoyed it,
and so yeah, please check that out. The podcast Good
One just did a rerun. I don't usually listen to

(56:43):
that one. It actually came on when I was doing
something else and I heard, like it starts off with
the bit of comedy that they are then going to
do a deep dive into. I don't know why I'm
like qualifying this and make it him like I don't
normally like it because it's a fine show and well done,
but this particular one was about the like Kanye remix

(57:05):
part at the end of his last special, and it
just gave me again like an appreciation for how brilliant
that dude is. And also that he was having panic
attacks like daily during that tour that ended up producing
like such a completely amazing and then the panic attacks

(57:26):
just led him to be like, I'm just gonna go
write a great movie about an eighth grader's experience. That's okay,
all right, killing killing it. That's he gets killing five
five Killing It from me love it. Okay. My next

(57:48):
recommendation is, actually, we don't have a lot of times,
so only I'm only going to give two more. Actually,
I'm gonna do three more. You know what, live large
you now, let's go. Next recommendation is flat Bush Misdemeanors
on Showtime. Now you might be like, huh um, but

(58:09):
it stars Dan Perlman and Kevin I So, which actually
hilariously enough. I saw Kevin i So back at Bridgetown
Comedy Festival Circle and I literally walked up to him
and said, please give me your email. I would love
to book you guys ten for ten out here. I'm

(58:29):
killing it with this talent booking. Okay, I just know
who's hot. I know who's hot baby, Okay, I got
my eye on the talent whatever. Yeah, that's right. Yeah,
so he you know what, I'm gonna give this show
actually a four out of five killings. Killings. It's because
while I do think it's really funny and really well written,

(58:52):
and it's about two friends just kind of navigating their
life in flat Bush. It's a little slow, but it's
actually really I just enjoy it because it's funny. We
got the return of we Bow If you guys ever
watched The Wire It's weird. It's we we Bow. That's

(59:17):
it's like a streaming service or something. Well, Hassan Johnson,
who played we Bay, Yeah, I really just said we Bow.
I'm I'm out. He returns. I haven't seen him in
anything in a while, so it's actually great to see
him pop up and he's playing a character that's torturing
these poor two guys. So yeah, I would. I would
recommend checking out. There's two episodes out so far on Showtime.

(59:39):
You know, yeah, like I said, four out of five
killing it killings, it's uh killing, It's yeah. Okay, Moving
on another show I would recommend, which is on HBO
Max is the what's it called? When each episode's about
a different thing? Anthology? Anthology and pthology series. I should

(01:00:02):
have been on Jeffery. Okay, Jack, you can stop doing
buzzer motions in the podcast, distracting every time I talk
is mud say, what is Generation Hustle? So technically you
are out? Yeah, So the show is called Generation Hustle.

(01:00:22):
Every episode's about a different scammer, you know, who got
away with what they were not really got away with,
but just like scammed people for a pretty long time
before they were called out. And the episode that really
stood out to me is the we Work episode, because
I do want to admit right now, Jack and I
were accomplices to the wee Work scam. That's why, you

(01:00:43):
guys we worked out of a wee work. Jack and I, Okay,
we were there. We were putting money into this cult
leader's pocket. We were there being like goose Fraba with
him or whatever it was. We were drinking his fruit water.
That's right, we were having their coffee. We were literally
holding hands in circles and chanting. Not really, but you know,

(01:01:03):
we basically were because we were there for a decent
amount of time. So that's right. We're a part of
the problem. Jack admit it. I admit it. So yeah,
all I needed was that cucumber water and I was like,
I will kill someone for you. Yeah. So it's basically
it's about how the founder basically like deified himself and

(01:01:24):
then it turns out he was just like taking a
ton of money out of the company and turned himself
for the most part into a billionaire. And then like
they tried to go public with an I p O
and then all they released all this information and I
was like, wait, no, I didn't do that, and he
was like, gotta go. And yeah. It was a very
culty environment and everything was very intense, and you had

(01:01:44):
to go to like summer camps like and if you
couldn't go, you had to have like a written excuse
from like a real like like a doctor as to
why you couldn't go to a festival for the weekend
for your wee work company. It was very intense. I recommend.
And there's a bunch of other scammers they cover. You know,
if you're a fan of Scam Goddess, you know you
might enjoy learning about these other scammers. So is it

(01:02:05):
hosted by Lacy I wish? Honestly, there's no host. Get
your head out of your s HBO Max. It's just done,
you know, like narrative, no host. They just tell you
what's going on. Yeah, equip being a blippy HBO Max.
Cut it out, cut it out, get your ship out
of your friends. But so the final show I want

(01:02:27):
to talk about, which I personally think is the greatest show.
I absolutely like, I love this show. Do I think
it should have been created? Absolutely not. This show should
have never absolutely whoever was like, give this this, this,
this person, this show should be fired. But it is

(01:02:48):
everything I've ever wanted to see. It is Mark Wahlberg's
Wall Street. Oh my fucking god, are you kidding me?
The entire show is Mark Wahlberg being like, I'm busy
and that is it. That is it. The whole shows
I'm always doing stuff perfect and that's it. That is it.

(01:03:09):
He's like, look, man, having a business. It's tough, and
I'm busy, and you're like, what is going on? And
there's no there's no rhyme or reason. He's just like,
and here I am at a movie premiere, and here
I am at a business meeting. Why are you filming
these business meetings? This is not seem productive. You shouldn't
really film these business meeting. Sounds like you guys are
actually giving a lot of information away about your weird

(01:03:30):
wall Burger's Burger shop. But that's the show. And he's
just carrying it Sharpie all the time because he needs
to sign ship all the time. Apparently he signs like
contracts with Sharpie's and then he signs like autographs and
he's like he's like looking at photos of himself, like
shirtless and he's like wow, OK. And then and then

(01:03:51):
he's like it's like two thirty in the morning and
he's working out in a hotel room that they turn
every hotel room. He goes into into like his own
personal gym, and it's like to thirty in the morning
and he's like whoa, whoa, like working out and you're like,
what the fuck? Where do you get off acting like
that at two thirty in the morning in a hotel

(01:04:11):
room in London, Like, I don't give a ship if
you're Mark Wallberg. People are sleeping and uh no, it's
great show ever seen. I recommend it. I just I
don't know if you guys just want to see some
straight nonsense check it out. Man. All right, it's called
it's called Mark Wahlberg's Wall Street. Yeah is it spelled how?
I think? Think? Yeah, exactly, think. Yeah. The opening credits

(01:04:38):
are like him with It's it's like animated, but it's
like a spray camp, just like on Wall Street, like
the sign that's like Wall Street, like the Street sign,
him just being like putting an h over the other
l and then being like street and you're like, whoa. Yes,

(01:05:00):
this clothing line, his clothing line I'm sure you can
imagine what his clothing line is. It's just all jumpsuits.
I was trying to find a name, but yeah, great pants. No,
Henley's bro, Henley's what do what do buff guys wear?

(01:05:20):
Henley's duh. Of course I should mention that earlier I
cited the Wall Street Journal. I was citing the w
A H. L. Street Journals have a subscription to that.
That's why you kept saying Bro. I think I will
say I think he's doing too much. I think he
needs to scale it back, like he's really he's trying

(01:05:42):
to expand this gym, but like low key, it's clear
the gym, like the corporate part of the gym, is
not interested in working with him. And it's like really awkward.
You're like, why would you film and release this? They're like, yeah,
I don't know. Mark, seems like we're really not willing
to take that risk. He's like, come on, man, I'm here,
I'm ready to go, and they're like, yeah, no, I
don't know. We don't know about that. And he's like

(01:06:03):
come on, and you're like, is he gonna be up
people to get what he wants? It just makes no sense.
It's a lot of things where I'd be like, this
doesn't make you look like a good business man, right,
this sounds like and he decided to make a show
about the one thing he's really like average too bad at,

(01:06:23):
which is a is the wrong business decision, which so
it's kind of a self fulfilling thing. Yeah, I think
it's absolutely truly just funny. It's just so silly, like
you're just like, what, why are you doing that? Like
they'll be like, yeah, Mark is so busy, Oh what's
that He's filming a scene? Well, right after that scene,

(01:06:46):
he's got a business meeting. Like literally, that's what it's like.
You're like, what, that's too much? You need to relax
when you get downtime. What he doesn't. He's busy. That's
the whole show. And I gotta say I won't stop watching,
and I can't wait to see him to His team's
entire job is just frantically looking for business meetings they
can stick him in just to make it like that.

(01:07:07):
And he also has his entourage with him, which are
like the same guys he's been hanging out with since
the Funky Bunch or whatever, all the same dudes. But
it's all the funky bunch guys who are still like
hanging out with him, and he's like, I I only
keep I keep the same friends for years. And they're
just like a bunch of like dudes who just like
stand behind him. And I'm like, this is that everything turtle, Yeah,

(01:07:35):
except for there's no turtle like guys at all. Well,
they're all like ripped now, I'm sure that's they all
work out together like, and then he just like tortures
the guys who aren't as strong as then like, come on, man,
you can do it. You could do it, and the
guy's like, no, I can't, and You're like, this is
Mark Wahlberg is the most Mark Walberg person you ever
