Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Prop culture. You're listening to prop culture. Hello, this is
loop from Loot for adventurous And I don't even need
to read that anymore. I lived that rememorized. It rememorized.
I'm a loop bag number from Loot for Adventurers. I'm
an n f T Welcome Quirkies three oh seven in

(00:27):
that order, because that's how it's written here on the card. Hi. Hi,
We're here to make friendly wagers on current events as
dictated by the misses that is due to arrive any moment.
Quick reminder, Balls, like Jagger blanked out lost all of
his money. He started with a hundred dollars and quickly
squandered it through a series of ill advised wagers, friendly wagers,

(00:49):
but nevertheless serious wagers. I believe he's want ten dollars
and he can come back in the next episode. If
what do you think he want ten dollars? Because didn't
we make a bet on Jane scorn In whether he
would apologize or not during the last episode, Yeah, we did,
and like Glute and Balls said he would apologize, and

(01:11):
the two quirkies said that no, he wouldn't, and he
actually made a half asked apology, but he did apologize. Yeah,
God damn it, but he was a very half asked apology.
Excuse me, yeah, excuse me? What he took it back,
He took it back. He took it back. Wait, so
he apologized and then he took it back. He said

(01:33):
it didn't happen. He said, none of the stuff that
he was accused of happened. Well, the late show host said,
a conversation with his father prompt them to apologize days
after he insisted he had done nothing wrong. Okay, and
then he took it back after that, Look, look, look
at look at Keith McNally today. Oh my dude. No,
And so I didn't get like so I missed the

(01:54):
news for a couple of days, and now all that happened.
This is what the essence of pop culture. I never
scream that anyone. I didn't shout, I didn't call anyone
a name or swear or use derogatory language. Is what
James Cordon is saying. Uh, that's yes. And Keith McNally
says on second viewing, I found his TV confessional contrived
in phony. And Keith McNally says, I've given up on

(02:17):
James Cordon or good but he doesn't say if he's
banned for good. Yeah, we don't have closure on whether
or not he's banned. Yes, so so this will be
what happens with PCO forty eight then does I mean,
I guess we'll have to wait until how you know
if James Cordon because he keeps flipping. He did apologize.
Though he did apologize, is an apology void when you

(02:39):
take it back later on a different media plans. He
didn't quite take it back right. He just spread untruths
apparent on truth or a parent and alleged I'm sorry
I leeged on truths. I mean, I do think this
is going to go on because just days ago, um,
this is an article from the Daily Mail okay um,

(03:00):
that just came out today and it says James Corden
spotted worrying his wedding ring during a low key outing
in l A, just days after his wife Julian ditched hers.
What yeah, that's good celebrity gossip. Yes, so wow, Yes,
I think this will go on mainly because if things
are okay with James Cordon and his wife, I would
be like, yeah, it's ober. But it seems that James

(03:22):
Cordon and his wife are now having marital troubles. PCO
forty eight stands giving balls like Jagger ten dollars, which
I don't know what that means for an entity that
has disintegrated. Ye's h he's already gone. He won after
he lost. How does that? How is that possible? Now? Well,
maybe we'll put it into a high yield savings account.

(03:44):
Another thing to address and has to do with Linda
Lando real estate. Um, I believe you're officially introducing your segment. Yeah,
this is landa Lando, the real estate segment. I like

(04:07):
the song a lot. How come we don't have a
song for the show we do? What do you mean
we don't have with lyrics pop song for this? Well,
we did have my token. What about like a sad
closing song, like a love song? You want a sad
song for the end? Yeah, I'm gonna send someone off
with like a little jolt of energy. Oh okay, Yeah,
that's that's a good idea. Prop culture feels so good,

(04:30):
proper culture. I can know that you s something like that. No,
I think it needs to be a sad uh tender
love song at the end. I don't want to lose
all my mooney. Yes, I've gone and I've done it. It
It doesn't have to be literal like a like a
country song, alright, how about um, it's evocative of loss.

(04:53):
I had to give my son up for adoption. It
sounds like a country song. Still, Oh my gosh. Yeah,
Quirkies through seven is in a country mood. I'm in
a countryman. I think I bet you can hit it
right on that. I'll try, I'll you know, I'll see
how this this weekend might be a little harpened next
week and I will have time. Yeah, it's a it's
a work in progress, something far away, lonesome sounding, high

(05:18):
lonesome sound but not counting. Yes, so quirky is through
seven one a long term bet? Yes? So? Remember the
Conan O'Brien was selling his Carpentario beach house with the
um photo of the poster of Casa Blanca. Is that
near Montecito? Do we know? It's just south of Santa

(05:39):
Barbara and Montesito? Oh my god. Cortney Kardashian Travis Barker
bought that property recently, and they bought a slightly under
the asking price of sixty point five million. They bought
for fourteen point five million. And I believe Quirkies through
seventh said it would go a little under. So wow,
yeah I won. You want that's pretty going awesome? Man? Yeah,

(06:02):
what did balls make that? Bet? Um? I believe not okay,
because I can say if I can win, it's ten
dollars back instead of just letting it hang around. I
can't believe he lost all his money. Yeah yeah, sure.
But anyways, I mean, here's a thing that Kardashians love
buying from other celebrities. Like just a month ago, Kim

(06:24):
bought Cindy Crawford's house in Malibu, and now Barney Kardashian
is buying Conan O'Brien's house and carp in Teria, And
it almost seems that they want to get the energy
of like people more creative, successful and beautiful than they are. Also,
you think there's probably a realtor that gets in there
and you know, just negotiates pretty real estate. Like there's

(06:45):
a few. We should find out who that realtor is
and see if they could be on prop culture. Oh yeah,
that's true. It's probably a million dollar listing on Bravo
and then maybe like we could trick that realtor into
doing pre existing conditions with us, and then we could
steal all their money and then we could buy a
house in poor O Canyon or summer Land or even

(07:06):
West Beach. Santa Barbara would be happy with where is it?
I'm on the road. We just wanted to call you
and make fun of you for losing all your money.
Well that's okay, because now that I'm off the grid,
I can do whatever I want. That's true. I can't
do it anything I want. Uh. Quirky says that's true,

(07:29):
he can't do anything he wants. Yeah, he's stuck in
that little box they call ethereum. When I'm ethereal, I'm like,
you know, the the etymology of the work back and
from the Scottish term winding woven like a breeze, and
that's what I am. M. I like the idea of
edam mom a waffle. There's ten dollars in your account?

(07:51):
Uh you have? Yeah, so you have to call back
at some point when you think of this with a bet.
And if I get pre existing condition, Oh, I'm sorry,
Quirky's has a pre existing condition. How far is that?
How dressed up? Mark Simpson, I wish I didn't have
to translate this. How far is it from Montecito? From

(08:15):
Montecito to Travis Barker and Chloe Kardashian what's her name?
Travis Barker for Corney Kardashians home in Carpinteria, Carpinteria, Montecito
to their home in Carpinteria by miles, by miles. And
when I get to ten, that's when this is going

(08:37):
to start. So how many miles from Montito to Travis Barker, Yes,
Travis Barker's new home with Kelsey Kardashian and Carpa. Is
it just for us or everybody driving for just think

(09:00):
about it? One? He says, think about it. I'm saying,
I'm saying it's uh like ten miles. And what do
you say, loot I'm saying, seventy five miles? You're all wrong,
We're all wrong. One mile, eight point one miles zero
Ball's leg taker is zero dollars again, And then you
want to say before I hang up on you, um

(09:28):
the cliffhanger. Now I am in second place on prop
culture right behind with two d and thirty dollars, and
I have ninety dollars and loot bag is eighty dollars.
It's good to hear from the old chapel. It's time
they're rubbing their way under the doors. Hi, thank you, Okay,

(09:58):
the missives here, I'm opening it up, dear lub back,
and the rest existence continues to be a gamble here.
Today's topics digital art art art n f T s
are going to MoMA. Really, The New York Times says,

(10:20):
even as n f T s plummet, digital artists find
museums are calling I am very surprised by that, because
I find the art world to be the most doggy
dog in terms of financial worth. Are they going to
print them out? After decades as outcasts? Digital artists are

(10:40):
receiving a warm reception from curators at major museums looking
to embrace new audiences and retain wealthy donors from the
n f T boom. I read that tech billionaires art
n f T s and if MoMA displays n f
T s and might be a way to get donor
money from these techbility years. Is it the reverse where

(11:02):
the n f T people have invested in these n
f T s and now they want to buy credibility
for them. I think maybe some art collectors are saying
Web three point. Oh, is a thing that will have
value at some point, but maybe people are saying maybe
not right now. With you know, the the impending stock
market ship. I like, we've got to get it into
the museum. For Moment struggling with pandemic attendance drop off,

(11:25):
growing a digital audience makes good financial sense. Maybe the
Moment's audiences Dianel being open to new technology is part
of our responsibility, said Antonelli, the museum's senior curator for
the Department of Architecture and Design, who is known for
guiding Moment's acquisitions of historical video games like pac Man

(11:47):
and The at Symbol. So I guess the Moment has
been going almost pop culture tech for a while because
if they are curating vintage video games, well the quirkies
end up in the moment. Yeah, that's my bet. Yeah,
like quirkies wing, they'll have a whole wing dedicated I'll
beg a six month bet. Yeah. I think we'll be

(12:07):
part of a wing in Moment, or at least like
a major museum within six months, I take. I think
that's a I think that's a fun bet. I'm going
to say no just to be a contrarian, but I'm
going to say no just because I have low self esteem. Yeah,
I have high self esteem, and I do think we're
going to be part of an exhibition at a major
museum in a large city. Well, since seven has taken

(12:31):
the contrarian view, I'm going to jump back the other way. Yes,
does that happened? Yeah? I didn't know you could do that.
I'm power culture. Pretty interesting to watch people turn data
into surrealism, data into dada. That's a great um from
data to dada. You should like copyright it will, I'll
write it down. I'll make an n f T of it.

(12:58):
Cannabis culture general, Gerald, Does cannabis use increase creativity? No? No,
because here's the thing. Yeah, it might like tick off
a few neurons where you think of something crazy, but
like most possible course, I know, I don't have the
energy to be diligent to make their ideas happen most

(13:20):
of them. Yeah, but how many good artists do you
know that indulge in marijuana indulge or utilize marijuana use?
A few? But I do also do you think I
mean I spoke? I also do think the legalization of
marijuana has brought these like weird like you know, they

(13:40):
actually prayed strains now and I think some of these
strains are just way too strong, because I mean, even
like the artists said, use successful artists that use marijuana,
I don't think like art pop culture has been good.
Paul McCartney, well, does he still spoke Ian like eighty
years old? I don't know if he still does, but

(14:02):
he did throughout his entire career, not entire, but post
post sixty four until probably he got arrested. Well yeah,
but don't you think that he has a talent even
before marijuana? Absolutely, but I'm going to say that marijuana
might have opened. Did it make him better to make
his music better? I think probably the usage of marijuana

(14:23):
definitely had an impact on music in the sixties. Now,
was that a different strain? Is that not the same
thing that's being sold and medicinal marijuana? I don't think so.
I don't think so. I think the strains were weaker
back then, So I think they're probably weaker, but they
made you a little you know, it's probably more. I
don't think there was as much sativa back then. I
think it was more indica. Uh, there's a new study

(14:46):
that came out with an answer. Oh, thank god, we
eve an answer for this. So here's a prett existing
condition that I'm going to put out there for both
of you. This cannabis use increase actual creativity. Well, it's
a probably. He wants to move with that, I'll have
to say yes, but I'll just say nay just to like,
I don't know, like go with my goods. Nay, nay,

(15:09):
Like no, no, I can't tell if that's revolutionary war.
And I will say due to the way that I
have for in my opinion, I'm going to say, which
is a yes. According to side post that's p s

(15:30):
y post, it's a psychopharmacology website, cannabis use does not
increase actual creativity, but does increase how creative you think
you are. Oh wow, that's an interesting stance. First, I
thought that was a cool, right. They stepped out on
the limb with this one. Yeah, I mean, hey, like

(15:52):
they just say to be honest, you know, when they
could have sold more cannabis if they just tinkered with
the study a bit and said ya, Yeah. I'm trying
to think back of any time in my life when
I was creative on cannabis, and I can't quite pinpoint anything.
I think it puts you in a mindset where you
have the patients to be creative when it's sitting and

(16:16):
being creative is like such a fucking like a tedious task,
like when someone says, all right, sit here and think
of a funny idea. No, but like sit here and
get baked. And then how about when you think of
a funny idea but then you're just happy? Would Booze
put you in the mindset to think of a creative idea? Boosted?
They didn't mention Booze in the article, they should. I say,
the cannabis used does not increase actual creativity, but does

(16:38):
increase how creative you think you are. It sounds like
kind of an insult, does It's a disk downers? Yeah,
you see a lot of people to get angry at
that article. Right, I'm not having the energy to really
do anything about it. But you know, I think that's
probably true for all, you know, most drugs not heroin
or something. And even though it isn't like some of

(17:00):
the jazz greats, weren't they doing heroin and like recording
like incredible classic albums and stuff. But I think there's
like a graph, you know, we're like, at like the
first stages of your heroine um abuse, you get a
little better rito, but it goes down. I think it's
sort of like a bell curve. And look at Quentin
Tarantino and his well documented cocaine usage and how creative

(17:21):
he was. I think cocaine might actually be the opposite,
very one to where. I don't know if it helps you,
like think of creative things, but I can see it
like cocaine addicts being very energy, everything that's on your mind.
Maybe eventually something good comes out. Also, we were once
talking to a minor Hollywood screenwriter, but I wanna call

(17:45):
a minor Hollywood screenwriter. He's written Hollywood screenplays. Maybe hasn't
he a child? No, he's uh, he went down in
the coal mines and wrote them. Anyway, this guy said
that he would take some adderall and then go to
a hotel and lust angels or whatever and sit there
and write a screenplays. Yeah, the screenplay was good enough
to be made. The movie was, but it was the

(18:07):
movie successful not it was actually panned. Yeah, but who
cares if he got paid to write a movie? Yeah?
And also yeah, he got paid to go to a
hotel for a week and snored a bunch of crushed
up pills and then pound away on his MacBook. Yeah
sounds it does. We're going, Oh my gosh, Luda is

(18:29):
all excited, like, yeah, yeah. I took adderall at a
casino once and uh, I was like rain Man calling
all the cards. I could see that I could see
the future. I wont like the role That wheel was
spinning in slow motion. You have that money? Did you
lose it all the next day? Or did you? It
was a Saturday night and I woke up lying on

(18:50):
top of my bed, like fully clothed on top of
the you know, like the crunchy hotel bed, with a
screaming headache. Like I was just felt like I was
going to die. So I was like, I have to
go walk this off. So it was like it was
probably five in the morning. I just walked the streets
of Atlantic City to my as fast as I could
until my head would sort of ease, and I went

(19:12):
to the seven eleven and bought like a gatorade and
sat on the bench in front of it, thinking, Wow,
I've hit a new low. Um, I'm sitting like sick
in front of a seven eleven in Atlantic City and
then I patted my pocket and I was like, oh fuck,
I forgot about this. I got in my pocket and
I have to say, as an n f T, I

(19:33):
have no addictions. Forces. Well, I don't know about that.
I think we both pretty heftily indulgent. Coffee. Oh yeah,
that's true. That's the and you you literally say, get
me a nice coffee, I need a joel. You say
that being up man, being up sister, and you're here
sitting here saying I have no addictions yea. And then

(19:54):
you go to your hot yoga and you get into
your meditative trances. Do tell do you tell quirkies to
being me up Scottie, like being like coffee bean? Don't
say that. I just thought of that Costco Costa they

(20:15):
announced the best Costco store in the country. Oh god,
in the country. I've never been to Costco. I've been
to Costco's, but I don't know if it's still true.
But I think the best performing Costco was actually the
Young Jay Costco, which is like a part of Gang
Damn in Korea for the longest time. Yeah, the best

(20:35):
performing costco. But it's the best performing just the highest revenue,
the highest revenue. Yeah, but um, I think it's been
overtaken by Shanghai, China, but no. Costco is one of
one of the few American brands that as a loyal
following in place like Japan or Korea. Cleanliness, friendliness, stock,

(20:55):
quality of samples, quantity of samples, parking lot quality. I
get it. If you went to a Costco with no
parking lot, you'd be like, fuck it, I'm out with
prices included. I think Costco is a weird, weird system
where certain things are always a certain to price because,
for example, their hot dogs are always a dollar and

(21:16):
fifty cents. No matter where we go, we gotta go
to Costco. Because on our recent vacation, we did some
shots of fresh squeezed ginger and that came from Costco,
and we wanted to get into that because it made
us feel rebbed up, another thing that we're another substance
that we're probably going to start up using. And also

(21:36):
I want to get those hot dogs. I want to
get the hot dogs and then chase it down with
a ginger shot. Yeah, that's balanced. South Carolina locations had
the highest average rating in the nation, with a combined
score fifty one point one out of sixty. It was
the only state to receive a score of eight point

(21:56):
oh or higher and the quantity of samples category. Ohio
and Tennessee where next in the quantity category? Any idea,
the top rated Costco warehouse is in? What state? The
pre existing condition? Okay, I'll go um, I'll just say

(22:18):
Washington just because it's the home state of Costco. I'm
just gonna go based on the information that you gave me,
and I'm gonna say South Carolina coming Georgia. Both lose, suckers,
I take your money on that one. Man. You guys
got cleaned out Coming Georgia. Yeah, number one, fifty four
point five total score. Why would they name your town

(22:39):
coming second? Kansas City, Missouri, San Antonio, Centerville, Ohio than Houston,
Coming Georgia. Way to go. You guys should go visit. Yeah,
it's but they're probably rated high because like Costco is
the only thing they can do in that city. Really
are like, yeah, we're gonna it. Sounds like if it's
the greatest Costco in America, then maybe that's all you need.
How far is it to me? I wonder so close

(23:02):
to coming? Can I do one last pre existing condition? Yes? Yeah,
talk about costs first one. Yeah, for the day. How
many costcos are there in the United Kingdom? There are

(23:22):
the United States. That's how many are their total in
the world. Nine? Okay, thank you for that a bit
of it. And what does the United Kingdom of set? England? Yeah?
Is Ireland in the United Kingdom? Scotland? Yes? How about Glasgow, Whales? Yes, Cambridge? Yes?
How about France? Nine? Is Amsterdam? United six? United Kingdom? Three?

(23:52):
You have to answer our question one. You guys are
all very wrong. It's twenty nine win. Oh my gosh,
you're freaking sure. You humiliated us with that scary movies.

(24:14):
Halloween is over and they've voted on the scariest movie ever.
I think it's probably obvious. Does everyone know what it is? Okay,
Nightmare on Old Street, Child's Play with Chucky. That you're
gonna be able to make an official guest. This is
a preexisting condition because I looked this up and now
I know the answer. And I'm going to give you
ten seconds to name what was voted in a study

(24:36):
the scariest film ever. This will be the last word
to talk about Halloween. It's over. Now. Let me just
say that I don't watch scary movies. Well, I'm just saying,
you know, I don't have a large breath of information
about why don't you want to give up? No? I
just I should get a handicap. What's your handicap? If
I get it? Ready, get ten more dollars double or nothing?

(24:58):
Because you don't anything about horror films. Look, I don't
know him there. They freaked me out. I don't watch
them overruled. There's no way to know that. We can
know that. Okay, scary movie of all time? Ten I'll
let my scarity cat wife child's play Chucky or and

(25:19):
I'll just say I'll just say of scary movie, scary movie, Exorcist.
That's what I'm saying, scary movie. It's a comedy, Exorcist.
You gave up? Why did you give up? Because I
was just like, it's it's just one of those things
I won't get you know. And besides, Luda is gonna
lose money as well. So yeah, you lost. You lost

(25:39):
money on that one man, because I knew it was
Exorcist and read the headline the Exorcist. People think that
that was such a lame movie too. It wasn't a comedy.
It wasn't away In's brother comedy. You failed that one
from the fundamentals. Well, guess what. I don't get scary movies?
The Fly? I would sat the Fly if those personal
experiences the best a movie, scary movie, the Flight, the

(26:02):
movie that your parents took you to. Yes, and then
we ran out. It was still a scary movie I've
ever seen in my life? How old were you? Five?
Probably good for you though, in the long run, Bye
bye Birdie creases in condition. Okay, this is about four

(26:24):
celebrities and pop culture. Tell me what they have in common.
This is between the two of you. So you're not
gonna lose any money if you like you have to
guess all four of them. No, that's unfair. That betting is. No,
that's not what betting is. That's what you know. Just
being an unfair person is. That's on what betting is. Man.

(26:45):
I'm going to name four celebrities. You tell me what
they have in common based on what you know of
pop culture. Very ok here's the list. This is very topical.
Why are you speaking in another language? You're trying to
confuse us ALIENI Shonda Rhymes. I don't even know who
that is Alex Winter and Sarah Bray is Sarah Brazil's

(27:10):
bret of I don't know. I'm just gonna say they're
all episcopalian. I'll add new names, okay if that helps.
And I'm torn between Episcopellian and Baptist Tony Braxton, Mick Foley,
a Christian Episcopellians, Ken Olan, who's that former star of

(27:35):
ABC drama series thirty something. I was the old YU
seventies something, Oh, Alex Winter, Bill from Bill and Ted. No, actually,
I'll just say they're episcopalian, Oh my god, or episcopalian, Okay,
I'll give you the ten h have good car, they'll

(27:59):
drive Tesla's. Celebrities are starting to leave Twitter. Here's a
running list, like you're very close. Yeah, that's funny. That's
funny that I said they all have Tesla's. I bet
they were going to sell their Tesla's too. Because of
Ellen Musk. Ellen Mousk is bringing back Fine. I saw
that this is Fine really going to come back. Dude.

(28:23):
I mean he is so I mean, he has so
much stuff going on. He's doing Space X on and yeah,
and like he's doing Tesla. I mean, I just think
he's doing the Twitter ship just to like funk around
with people. I think I think Twitter, listen, this is
I'm going to say this right now and I will
bet all my money on this as a long term bet.
Wait what, I'm better betting all your money. Talk to

(28:48):
me on Halloween and ask me if Twitter is still
a thing, and I'm gonna say no. Yeah, well I'm
gonna say no. I'm gonna say for most people, it's
going to be like the way my Space was a
year after. There's going to be a new thing irrelevant
next year. Yes, it's going to be irrelevant in the

(29:08):
next Twitter will be irrelevant Halloween, mark my words. Okay,
I think it'll still be relevant for gen xers and millennials,
but I don't think Twitter will ever said like get
to the gen zs. I think, you know, I think
it right now is Twitter is a ghetto for millennials

(29:30):
and gen xers. Yes, it's influential, but you know, you
know it's it's more like Facebook right now, but we're
gen xers. I think millennial TikTok is going to come
out with a Twitter risk what are you doing kind
of thing and everyone will be doing that ship on TikTok. So,
what's your bed loot on? Like Twitter? Will it be
relevant or irrelevant? I think it's going to be relevant.
I think it's gonna be fine. I think Vine is

(29:51):
going to come back by Thanksgiving. We're gonna see Vine
by Thanksgiving. That's my lock it in. We're going to
do your like nothing here is like liable. Thank you?
You want to do it this week? No you should,
I'll get you started. We're closing the missive. Well, this
is the production of I Heart Media and School of Humans.

(30:12):
Everything we say here is unreliable. I heart podcasts in
