Speaker 1 (00:06):
Hello, this is ostensibly loot bag number from Lute for adventurers.
I'm an n f T. Welcome to the most popular
podcast on Earth prop culture with me today, Quirky and
Quirkies three oh seven copy. We're here to make friendly
wagers on current events and pop culture as dictated by
(00:27):
this fictional missive that is due to arrive any moment
while I'm downloading that. I want to hear the reviews
Undisputed Nube says an entertaining podcast made by sentient n
f T s So overall a positive review, all right?
Velma Ish says always insightful. I learned so much from
you guys. Oh yeah, positive, that's good. Murder Wizard says
(00:54):
this is comedy for people who like car talk but
despise cars. Wow, I like that review. That's a good review.
And then Doc Funky says, I've been hearing ads for
this show for what feels like months, so I figured
i'd give it a shot. All three hosts have engaging
voices and bland personalities. They also don't seem interested in
(01:15):
what they're talking about, and leave so much dead air
between other or during their own sentences that someone had
to put music and sound effects behind them to try
and keep a listener engaged. What are waste of time? Generally,
I think Doc Funky is an asshole. I think he
is unconsciously very interested us because his reviews so elaborate,
(01:36):
so he took the time to leave it, so you
think he's actually into it. Yeah, and it is. He
does seem smart, you know, his command of syntax and
all that. It's really quite impressive. I mean, you know,
just because you're good at writing things does not mean
that you're intellectually superior to other people. You know. I
Q was both like verbal and math. I think so well.
He was specific about his criticism about long pauses between words.
(02:02):
You know, I've had a lengthy conversations with the editor
of this show and he actually said that we've been
chopping out silence us in between words. Okay, well that's
you know, Uncle Funkie note taken. Maybe just listen to
the show like one P five speed. Yeah, that's yeah,
that's a good idea. Yeah, hard to talk about this
whatever on everybody's minds. People are really upset the country
(02:25):
is completely divided, which was our our bet last week.
I was Drake's new album We Haven't heard a distract yet,
I haven't heard a distract. But we said to uh,
we haven't heard of any pickleball murders. Have either of
you had a dirty Shirley since we last spoke. I've
been drinking to Katti and lime alright, so I haven't either.
(02:46):
So so far the drink of the summer is not
the dirty shirley. But the summer is only a couple
of days old. So let's give it a minute, and
will there be a plummet in the sales of grandfather
clocks yet to be seen? I went to the n
f T N YC conference here a lot of a
lot of good press for that. Yeah, I'm very small,
(03:08):
so I could sneak in. I crashed it. Did you
go see all the bands and stuff? Um? No, no, no.
I went and met some people, talked to a lot
of people. I mean I was. I crushed it. I
crashed it and then I crushed it. Really So, what
were the demographics? Was in mostly male or female? That
was mostly male? It was like it was. It was
(03:30):
a lot like San Diego Comic Con if you've ever
been to that. So much enthusiasm, so many fans, a
lot of people promoting the new, the now, the next.
Did anyone like say, hey man, you gotta buy Quirkies
number seventy two or no? No one tried to like, No,
there was nothing physically there is imagine comic con but
(03:51):
with with no objects. You know who he? Who else
was there? Doop Snog Snoop Dogg or stock Uh doop
Snog He's an impersonator. He was a h he's a
big Snoop Dogg is a desirable presence. I guess at
these n f T things, um, but they they got
(04:13):
the next best thing. Uh doop Snog. He's online. You
can search for him. What's the difference at this point?
Or two different people? Yeah, but one is the entertainer
and one is the entertainer who plays an entertainment but
still entertains to an extent. Two different entertainers, yet one
more popular, one popular only because of the other. Anyway,
(04:35):
I was there in a network and I met a
great guy named Booker from Poland, and we had an
amazing chat. He had the shortest, clearest explanation of n
f T s. If you don't know what an n
f T is, he has an extraordinarily succinct explanation, give
it a list. Obviously, n f T will be the
first step to do adoption of crypto because it's easier
(04:58):
to imagine. Oh the picture, then some told cans whatever
picture as a s A T cat or as a
proof that you are in some environment. Okay, so we
are colleagues, we are a cloud. So you can print
it on the your share, your boots, whatever. But you
(05:19):
also put the pure code so if someone's counted, they
see it if you're the one only nick person has
having these boots, because they have they have proved. And
then I got kicked out. Oh wow, you did because
you didn't have a lanyard. How do they find you?
You're tiny? Like I know, this is tiny. I expanded
(05:42):
to six six too, and I made my way through
the private dinner that was going on in the lobby
of the hotel, just walk through the just to look
at the food. And they had pizzas on steam trays
and really so were they weren't like having flogged or
I would say, um uni sushi with gold flakes on
(06:04):
top and none of that. No, No, this was looks
like pepperoni pizza. That's pretty good. Um I guess your choice.
Of chocolate milk or regular milk drink spilk n f
T brows. They asked me, They said, sir, can I
help you? I said, I'm looking for my brother. I said,
he's had a few I don't know where he is.
(06:26):
They said, why don't you go check the bar said
that's a good idea. It sounds like you managed to
hang out for a while, but once you were hanging
around their chocolate milk, they got piste off. Oh the
missive is here. I let me unwrap it, Dear luke
Bag and friends. Existence continues to be a gamble, so
(06:47):
start way during here today's topics. Brad Pitt's g Q cover.
Uh did you do you guys get the new g Q? Yes?
I mean I haven't got the New g Q, but
I saw the cover. How did you see the ever?
If you if you don't get the magazine, well, I
mean it's all over the internet. It's all over the
internet too. I talked about like the National acchoir. I
(07:07):
see magazine covers on supermarket is sure, supermarket isisles, but
this is it's kind of if. It's one of the
most talked about GQ covers of all time. But you
don't subscribe to g Q. No, you know what stands
for Guys Gentleman's Quarterly. Gentleman's Quarterly. I thought it was
Guys Quarterly. But does anybody get g Q? No? Well,
(07:27):
I think the only time I've ever read it is
at my salon, So that's the only time I've ever
read Gentleman. Does GQ make a physical magazine? Yes? I
wonder how much Salon spent on magazines, And it seems
like what and do you know another like human business
that makes a lot of that spends a lot of
money on magazines, dentist offices and doctor's offices. So Brad
(07:50):
Pitt being on the cover is just let me get
this straight, A small digital file, yes, and it's very
valuable real estate. Yes, so you're saying that a small
digital picture can be extraordinarily valuable. Yes, Okay, it's like
(08:11):
ann It's like an n f T. It's like an
n f T. It's the same thing. Well, I think though,
doesn't doesn't not have the token? What token? The non
fungible one? Yeah, isn't there a contract like behind it?
Like behind didn't Booker tell you all about the non
fungible part? Yeah? He did he did. That's right, that's right,
(08:35):
that tuned out. It was fast, but still a lot
to try to understand. Okay, what's the big deal about
his g Q cover? Who cares? Well, A lot of
people kind of taken aback by the look of them.
I mean mostly people are like Brad Pitt, beautiful man,
(08:56):
beautiful man. This one, they say, kind of like a
dead guy, kind of looks like a Madame Tousso wax figure,
kind of looks like it's kind of a frozen plastic scene.
Uh idle. And this is on the cover of d Q.
Terry Queen. Wow, this is Fox News dot com. Yes,
(09:19):
Brad Pitt's cover shoot for g qus August edition has
sent social media into a frenzy. I'm not going to
disable my head blocker to read the rest of it.
But I mean, but maybe a trend because I think
when like, people were not fans of Kamala Harris's um
Folco cover like a year ago because it didn't make
her look at her best, So they might be a
new trend. And Maxine covers, Well, I'm looking at Brad Pitt.
(09:41):
I think it's cool. What's wrong with it? It looks
he looks different. He looks like he has a lot
of lotion, and he's lit a little bit too brightly.
I have to think I have to guarantee that Brad
Pitt chose this. I read the article and he says
that this is going to be the last stage of
his career and he's thinking out to curate it, and
(10:01):
maybe that's how he wants. Is the design of us
in the last phase of his career to be Yeah,
we'll a little weirder. Are you supposed to design your careers?
I guess yeah, yeah, definitely, especially go on your LinkedIn.
You better start designing on your LinkedIn. Sure, yeah, I
do have a LinkedIn. Uh no, I'm not used LinkedIn.
(10:24):
I'll give you my phone number. No, No, if you want,
I could probably kind of replicate this photo for your
linked in. Yes, you gotta get some black goo to
lion and maybe some flowers and a lizard and then
you should be all set. Well, here's my royal waiter
for the Brad Pitt GQ you cover. I am absolutely
(10:45):
sure that he did the whole article and the cover
as his pr campaign for his next movie, Bullet Train,
which is set to release on August. My wager is
that on the opening weekend that movie will make around
thirty million dollar dollars And what what a top top
Gun did a hundred? Oh did over a hundred? Well,
(11:06):
when you're saying thirty million for Bullet Train, yes, with
Bullet Train is going to be a bomb? Is that
what you're saying? Um, I don't. I mean, I think
it's like a lower budget movie to begin with, you know,
and it's not like part of a very popular eyed piece.
So I think thirty mill is probably best you can do.
I'm not gonna be on Bullet Train. I think million tops.
(11:34):
I'm sorry, that doesn't work. That bet doesn't work. Yeah,
that's a terrible bet. I say one dollar top, No,
uh you know, I'll say I'll take it up with
thirty five million tops. I think Brad looks good on
that cover, and I think it was a conscious decision
(11:55):
to usher in the new era of Brad Pitt via
the cover of Q magazine. And I think his new movie,
Bullet Train is going to be a smash. It's gonna break.
I mean, one thing this movie has going on for like,
Japan is the hottest country on the internet right now. Everybody,
everybody loves anime and in Japan like um inspired. So
(12:18):
there's a lot of Japanese inspired. You know, it's said
in Japan the movie does kind of look like anime innocence. Yeah,
so that has that, the movie has that going for it. Okay,
so it's a live action Brad Pitt action anime vibe
said in Japan monster hit. Okay, you know it's really
it's based on Japanese novel. Really. Yeah, Maria Beetle like
(12:43):
Kotara Issaka. They did the right thing, changing that name
Maria Beetle Brad Pitt and Maria Beetle Man. He dodged
the bullet to take the bullet train. Chrislies. You know
(13:07):
who the Christlies are? I know who the Crislies ares.
I've actually watched their shows. I I only know of
them due to their recent turmoil. Christie's uh, the Christlie
Knows best stars got caught for taxivation, convicted. Apparently they're
going to jail. Uh. And so that's the government. Okay,
it's not just your opinion. No, no, no, they're asking
(13:31):
for thoughts and prayers instead of flowers and stuff. dNaM. Yeah,
I guess they have enough. They haven't animals, I mean
aren't they in prison? You know? So? I mean I've
heard that in prison, um, cigarettes are almost like gold,
so maybe they should last for cigarettes. Yeah, I don't
think you can bring them in. Okay, they could say,
please figure out a way to smuggle me in cigarettes
(13:53):
when I'm in prison. Can you smoke in your cell
in prison? Sure? Nice? Yeah? How's everyone complain about prison?
The Christie Knows Best stars apparently asked fans to stop
spending their hard earned money on flower arrangements and gifts
and instead keep the couple in their prayers. Why don't
we say a quick prayer for him? Then? Okay, do
you want to do the prayer or should I do
(14:13):
the prayer? I want to hear? Okay, prayer, God, thank
you for all you've done for us as enough tea, No, Chris,
I know, but that's how I started prayers first. First,
thank God for like, let me do you do your prayer?
We can't Dear God, thank you for all you have
(14:36):
done to us as enough tease to us? Yeah to us,
you know, and sounds like a complaint, like you're being sarcastic. No, No,
I'm generally grateful, and please let us be a healthy,
good enough teas in the future. But we have to
ask you to be to bless our other friends that
Chris Lei's. They're having a very very hard time in
(14:58):
prison and they do not deserve this. Please let the
Chrislies be vindicated of their innocence and um be let
out of prisons soon and like be with their reunited
with their families again a man as as Christly propaganda
and you've left out. They ripped people off. They took
tax money. People spend a lot of money on taxes
(15:20):
and like to get ripped off theoretically if they whatever
tax money goes to. Oh my god, you're so mad,
so mad at the Chrislies. I'm not saying don't pray
for the Chrizzlies, saying in addition, pray for whoever was
affected by the chrislies actions and all the people who
spend time in their life to work hard too and
(15:43):
for justice and honesty. Who made plenty of money, presumably
from a TV show. Shouldn't that be enough? No, I
don't think like reality starts make any many. They do,
they make a lot of money. You're just thinking because
we're reality podcast TV people make a lot of money.
And Luke come on, Like now you're sending sounds like
a politician. I sound like a minister. You sound like
(16:05):
a politician. Well they get uh if they've been on
doing that show for a long time, they got a
pretty good thing going and relax. Not judging them. I
guess I'm judging. Yeah, I don't know. I kind of
feel like tax you know, like whenever like government tax mane.
It's I think it's all fake. You know, they just
like sell bonds to get their money. You know, I
(16:25):
just think they take taxes just for show sometimes. Well,
the return of their show, it's about to return, be
the highest ratings ever. I think it will. It absolutely will.
I almost feel like there has been a lead up
to this, like the press is just ramping up a
week after week. I mean they were in the National Enquirer,
Like I was in the Human grocery store and I
(16:48):
saw the Chrislies prison hell, like you know, on the
front page page of the Inquiry. It wasn't like the
biggest photo, but it was sort of like you know,
the top photo, like you know, it was one of
the smaller photos. So I kind of feel like, yes,
it will get the greatest, biggest ratings. Ever. Do you
think celebrities ever paid the National enquire to feature them
and make up some stories about them. I think they
(17:09):
do for the Daily Mail. I don't know about the
National Enquirer. We can make up a story about you
and maybe people would give this the highest ratings ever.
So what do you think will their premier have the
highest ratings ever? I think their premier will have the
highest ratings ever. And I say this because I haven't
watched the show in a long time. I want to watch, Okay,
(17:31):
I want to see it's knowing that it sounds like
maybe they were secret criminals during the filming. He's so
accustomed to comfort fish out of war. Is it possible
this is all part of a grand plan? It possible.
I would hope that can't be that the d A
wouldn't get into the pr game. Yeah, that's funny, the
(17:56):
d A and the p rguing. I like that sentence,
thank you. I wrote it weeks ago. That is a
major Wait, only fans are either of you guys on
only fans? I mean that's a that's a you're about
to say as a consumer, Yes, uh no, no, I'm
not not only fans. You don't go on there and
(18:19):
visit any Uh, you're not a fan, and I would
say some of their prices are a little deer. I said,
go on, and I look, and I'm like, twenty dollars
for like a month of that? What did you get
for twenty dollars? Videos? You know, like coming out of
the shower, Yeah, like laying on the bed. Sammy Sheen
joining Only Fans? Was she I know who that is? Oh?
(18:42):
Are you talking about the Charlie's kid. Charlie's kid? Oh,
Denise and Charlie's kid is going to be on Only Fans. Yeah,
Oh my gosh, that is suddenly got really excited your attention. Yeah,
because man, it's they say the apple doesn't, like, you know,
fall further from the tree. She's like something like that.
(19:05):
Charlie was not happy. Well, yeah, that's the thing she's
doing exactly what Charlie Sheen would do when he was
at that age, if he was a woman at that age,
That's what Charlie Sheen would do. Well, it sounds like
maybe Denise talks some sense into Charlie because Charlie has
come around. Well that's good. Not only that Denise is
now on board, Denise is going to be on Only
(19:27):
Fans as well. That's right, Wow, that's that's shocking. I
didn't know that Denise would become like Charlie and Charlie
would more become more like Denise. Here's our wager, Well,
Charlie show up on only Fans. They say yes, why
because that's who he is? Like you know, um, he's
(19:50):
the kind of person who would be on like only
Fans And didn't he date a lot of porn stars
like in his day? So maybe he will be like, hey,
I want to do what my former girlfriends did, says yes, yes,
seven oh seven. I will say no because why wouldn't
he just announced with the niece together that say this
(20:12):
is our only Fans page. I guess they want to
get more subscribers. I'm gonna say no. I don't think
Charlie Sheen is going to join only Fans. I agree
with you. Charlie's on the rebound, isn't he He doesn't
want to get He wants to be supportive, but it's
a dangerous world up there. I think Charlie is gonna
steer clear of Only Fans. I don't think he wants
(20:33):
to get wrapped up in all that. Yeah, here's our bets.
That's my opinion. Buckheat. Did you watch Buckhead Shore Premier?
I have not watched it. I've I've seen It's like
social media though, those pictures Diana watch it. I mean,
why is it called shore? Like Atlanta does not have
(20:55):
a shore? Sure as sure as the brand to just
now you know. It's like when we were in Mexico,
we watched Eco Polco Shore and that was a thrilling show.
Oh yeah, that that show was crazy. Also keep in
mind that MTV also had the Polly Shore for a while,
The Weasel. I didn't see it. I didn't see it either,
(21:17):
But there was a big premier party and the cops
showed up. Really maybe it was all publicity though, what
was all yeah, like the police coming in. I mean
they're like large parties and bucket all the time. Pop
culture conspiracy theory, that's a whole other podcast. I'm conspiratorial
about maybe the Quigglies what are their names? The Chris
(21:39):
Chris Lees, Uh, conspiratorial about them, may believe, but because
you're quirky, uh, but I am not conspiratorial. I mean
I'm not interesting. It's not even like a big conspiracy
someone who has at the park and just like call hey,
someone's like, um drowning, you know, and like the police
could have come, yeah what what you know? They they
(22:03):
might have had a pool, you know, yeah, and like
they might have been made up a lie that someone's drowning.
Was it real, Georgia cops? Was it like hired security guards?
It could have been the Buckhead neighborhood watch it might
have been. We're gonna investigate this. Let's investigate this and
make the determination. Was the Buckhead shore Premier party bust
(22:26):
reel or bullshit. I'm going to take a drive to
Atlanta and I'm gonna go to the Buckhead neighborhood where
all those rich people live, and I'm going to visit
the Buckhead shore House. Oh please do there and try
to get on the show. We get video, we can
send that back to people via Gmail. Yeah, and I'll
try to get maybe the MTV cameraman to put point
his camera at me, and then I'll say prop culture.
(22:48):
I'm with on this. I'm gonna say bullshit. I feel
like it's a contrived PR stunt. I think I think
it was a big awesome party. Uh, And we're gonna
see Atlanta police department, police cars, not no generic knockoff police,
the old police. The TikTok SNL augician Guy Guy. There's
(23:13):
a comedian slash musician named Jake Novak on TikTok who
made his SNL audition video where he sings it he
like wraps it and he's just getting completely torn apart
by the comments section. People are duetting the video and
making fun of him. I feel bad for the guy me.
(23:33):
He seems like very soft and the whole world is
coming together to just ship on him. Oh so Dr
Funkie doesn't get wind of him. Maybe that maybe it
is Doc Funky, it's kind of channeling some of his
negative energy out. But I listen, the guy, that's his
own thing. You know, at least he's doing his own thing,
(23:56):
and he's clearly making an impact. Maybe he's ahead of
his time. Maybe he's the next Drake. We don't know. Yeah,
I mean even Leslie Jones commented on his video. So
so maybe he doesn't need to be on s No
he doesn't. Yeah, I mean, he's building an audience and
he does have his diehard supporters. Can we make a
wager on this guy? I have a wager. Well, he
(24:18):
will Saturday Night Live go mid Will they parody Jake
Noble parody Jake Novak? But I guess they're on hiatus
right now, on hiatus right now, so that may be
too much of a long but or we can just
do it. We can do a quick bet because Jake
Novak hasn't posted an update since his SNL audition, and
(24:41):
I wonder if his next video is he the kind
of say lavy kind of personality, or he'll just do
another original video, or will he address his haters like
we did. I think he will just make a totally
different video. Yes, I think that will be his next video,
not addressing any of the negative energy. No, no, no,
I think he will just not address it. And I
think he might double down and say, make you know
(25:04):
a video part two about why he should be on
sm L because he got so much attention. Well what
if his video doesn't reference it but is obviously a
response to it. Well, um, I don't know. Like, I
guess it's up to YouTube decide. Yeah, it's up to you.
To the side. He's gonna have a funny response that
doesn't mention the name of the show. And I think
(25:26):
he is going to make a video that's going to
sort of dance around the hateful comments. Uh in his
own distinct style of comedy. Make that wager. Snoop Dogg
and Eminem's board a video video. One thing I almost
forgot when we were talking about Doope snog before Snoop
(25:47):
Dogg and Eminem had a board a video. Yeah, the
Snoop and Eminem. It's an animated video. We're Snoop and
Eminem kind of turn into the apes, kind of of
the first mergers of media and n f T. Okay,
here's our internal wager. Will we make a prop culture
(26:09):
music video? I say no, Well, I say yes because
we're going to do that. I say yes too. It's
too long, so and we're gonna make an awesome song
and it's going to be a hit song on TikTok Yeah,
and we're gonna get Jake Novak probably gonna make a
little freestyle rap similar to our song. But okay, we
(26:32):
can drag Jake Novak into this. Yes, yeah, why does
some what does that send off to contact him? Well,
I can't the number one podcast, n f T centric
podcast do that, because um, yeah, maybe we should contact
I didn't even think about that it would be nice
to hear him to say no to us. Yeah, if
nothing else, because that means we've tried, which leads me
(26:54):
to feel and I have another madea like needs to
share them. So there's this um another like podcast company
called Fountain. Hey, before we get to that, I just
want to read a comment from the Snoop and eminem
board ape music video is from It's from Doc Funky.
Come on, I'm skidding. It's from Neo Possum, and Neo
(27:19):
Possum says nothing is more cringe than self referential crypto art.
Are we self referential crypto art? Yes? Yes, that's cringe.
It's it's the the apex of cringe, the board apex.
At least you're saying that about them. We'll get to
(27:41):
us eventually. Well, I have a small wager, a quick
wager actually. So there is another podcast company called Fountain,
which has started to pay as listeners bien coined to
listen to their podcasts. Wow. Yeah, so, um, do you
think we will ever hate our listeners to listen to us?
(28:04):
I think that seems kind of cringe. It seems kind
of cringe, right, Yeah, I say no, Yeah, I say
no to say no, I don't. I'd prefer they paid
us to listen to us. Is that that's that doesn't
sound cringe? It's the opposite of cringe on fleek? What's
(28:26):
what's on fleek mean? I don't know? Is that a
new saying because they saw it on Instagram this morning?
It's just the opposite of cringe on fleet. All right,
let's review this week's wagers. Will Brad Pitt's movie be
(28:47):
a smash head? Well? The Chrislies new episode premiers be
the highest ever? Charlie Sheen joined his ex wife and
daughter on Only Finns was the Buckhead Shore premiere party?
Bust stage side bet that I'm throwing in right now?
Big travel time around the fourth of July, everyone's flying places.
(29:07):
Will the next airline ask kicking be of a passenger
or of an employee? A passenger? A passenger a passenger? Right,
we're on the same page. Keep us in your dreams.

thing we say in this podcast is completely unreliable. Prop
Culture is a production of School of Humans and I

next time. Prop Culture
Hello, this is ostensibly loot bag number from Lute for adventurers.
I'm an n f T. Welcome to the most popular
podcast on Earth prop culture with me today, Quirky and
Quirkies three oh seven copy. We're here to make friendly
wagers on current events and pop culture as dictated by
(00:27):
this fictional missive that is due to arrive any moment
while I'm downloading that. I want to hear the reviews
Undisputed Nube says an entertaining podcast made by sentient n
f T s So overall a positive review, all right?
Velma Ish says always insightful. I learned so much from
you guys. Oh yeah, positive, that's good. Murder Wizard says
(00:54):
this is comedy for people who like car talk but
despise cars. Wow, I like that review. That's a good review.
And then Doc Funky says, I've been hearing ads for
this show for what feels like months, so I figured
i'd give it a shot. All three hosts have engaging
voices and bland personalities. They also don't seem interested in
(01:15):
what they're talking about, and leave so much dead air
between other or during their own sentences that someone had
to put music and sound effects behind them to try
and keep a listener engaged. What are waste of time? Generally,
I think Doc Funky is an asshole. I think he
is unconsciously very interested us because his reviews so elaborate,
(01:36):
so he took the time to leave it, so you
think he's actually into it. Yeah, and it is. He
does seem smart, you know, his command of syntax and
all that. It's really quite impressive. I mean, you know,
just because you're good at writing things does not mean
that you're intellectually superior to other people. You know. I
Q was both like verbal and math. I think so well.
He was specific about his criticism about long pauses between words.
(02:02):
You know, I've had a lengthy conversations with the editor
of this show and he actually said that we've been
chopping out silence us in between words. Okay, well that's
you know, Uncle Funkie note taken. Maybe just listen to
the show like one P five speed. Yeah, that's yeah,
that's a good idea. Yeah, hard to talk about this
whatever on everybody's minds. People are really upset the country
(02:25):
is completely divided, which was our our bet last week.
I was Drake's new album We Haven't heard a distract yet,
I haven't heard a distract. But we said to uh,
we haven't heard of any pickleball murders. Have either of
you had a dirty Shirley since we last spoke. I've
been drinking to Katti and lime alright, so I haven't either.
(02:46):
So so far the drink of the summer is not
the dirty shirley. But the summer is only a couple
of days old. So let's give it a minute, and
will there be a plummet in the sales of grandfather
clocks yet to be seen? I went to the n
f T N YC conference here a lot of a
lot of good press for that. Yeah, I'm very small,
(03:08):
so I could sneak in. I crashed it. Did you
go see all the bands and stuff? Um? No, no, no.
I went and met some people, talked to a lot
of people. I mean I was. I crushed it. I
crashed it and then I crushed it. Really So, what
were the demographics? Was in mostly male or female? That
was mostly male? It was like it was. It was
(03:30):
a lot like San Diego Comic Con if you've ever
been to that. So much enthusiasm, so many fans, a
lot of people promoting the new, the now, the next.
Did anyone like say, hey man, you gotta buy Quirkies
number seventy two or no? No one tried to like, No,
there was nothing physically there is imagine comic con but
(03:51):
with with no objects. You know who he? Who else
was there? Doop Snog Snoop Dogg or stock Uh doop
Snog He's an impersonator. He was a h he's a
big Snoop Dogg is a desirable presence. I guess at
these n f T things, um, but they they got
(04:13):
the next best thing. Uh doop Snog. He's online. You
can search for him. What's the difference at this point?
Or two different people? Yeah, but one is the entertainer
and one is the entertainer who plays an entertainment but
still entertains to an extent. Two different entertainers, yet one
more popular, one popular only because of the other. Anyway,
(04:35):
I was there in a network and I met a
great guy named Booker from Poland, and we had an
amazing chat. He had the shortest, clearest explanation of n
f T s. If you don't know what an n
f T is, he has an extraordinarily succinct explanation, give
it a list. Obviously, n f T will be the
first step to do adoption of crypto because it's easier
(04:58):
to imagine. Oh the picture, then some told cans whatever
picture as a s A T cat or as a
proof that you are in some environment. Okay, so we
are colleagues, we are a cloud. So you can print
it on the your share, your boots, whatever. But you
(05:19):
also put the pure code so if someone's counted, they
see it if you're the one only nick person has
having these boots, because they have they have proved. And
then I got kicked out. Oh wow, you did because
you didn't have a lanyard. How do they find you?
You're tiny? Like I know, this is tiny. I expanded
(05:42):
to six six too, and I made my way through
the private dinner that was going on in the lobby
of the hotel, just walk through the just to look
at the food. And they had pizzas on steam trays
and really so were they weren't like having flogged or
I would say, um uni sushi with gold flakes on
(06:04):
top and none of that. No, No, this was looks
like pepperoni pizza. That's pretty good. Um I guess your choice.
Of chocolate milk or regular milk drink spilk n f
T brows. They asked me, They said, sir, can I
help you? I said, I'm looking for my brother. I said,
he's had a few I don't know where he is.
(06:26):
They said, why don't you go check the bar said
that's a good idea. It sounds like you managed to
hang out for a while, but once you were hanging
around their chocolate milk, they got piste off. Oh the
missive is here. I let me unwrap it, Dear luke
Bag and friends. Existence continues to be a gamble, so
(06:47):
start way during here today's topics. Brad Pitt's g Q cover.
Uh did you do you guys get the new g Q? Yes?
I mean I haven't got the New g Q, but
I saw the cover. How did you see the ever?
If you if you don't get the magazine, well, I
mean it's all over the internet. It's all over the
internet too. I talked about like the National acchoir. I
(07:07):
see magazine covers on supermarket is sure, supermarket isisles, but
this is it's kind of if. It's one of the
most talked about GQ covers of all time. But you
don't subscribe to g Q. No, you know what stands
for Guys Gentleman's Quarterly. Gentleman's Quarterly. I thought it was
Guys Quarterly. But does anybody get g Q? No? Well,
(07:27):
I think the only time I've ever read it is
at my salon, So that's the only time I've ever
read Gentleman. Does GQ make a physical magazine? Yes? I
wonder how much Salon spent on magazines, And it seems
like what and do you know another like human business
that makes a lot of that spends a lot of
money on magazines, dentist offices and doctor's offices. So Brad
(07:50):
Pitt being on the cover is just let me get
this straight, A small digital file, yes, and it's very
valuable real estate. Yes, so you're saying that a small
digital picture can be extraordinarily valuable. Yes, Okay, it's like
(08:11):
ann It's like an n f T. It's like an
n f T. It's the same thing. Well, I think though,
doesn't doesn't not have the token? What token? The non
fungible one? Yeah, isn't there a contract like behind it?
Like behind didn't Booker tell you all about the non
fungible part? Yeah? He did he did. That's right, that's right,
(08:35):
that tuned out. It was fast, but still a lot
to try to understand. Okay, what's the big deal about
his g Q cover? Who cares? Well, A lot of
people kind of taken aback by the look of them.
I mean mostly people are like Brad Pitt, beautiful man,
(08:56):
beautiful man. This one, they say, kind of like a
dead guy, kind of looks like a Madame Tousso wax figure,
kind of looks like it's kind of a frozen plastic scene.
Uh idle. And this is on the cover of d Q.
Terry Queen. Wow, this is Fox News dot com. Yes,
(09:19):
Brad Pitt's cover shoot for g qus August edition has
sent social media into a frenzy. I'm not going to
disable my head blocker to read the rest of it.
But I mean, but maybe a trend because I think
when like, people were not fans of Kamala Harris's um
Folco cover like a year ago because it didn't make
her look at her best, So they might be a
new trend. And Maxine covers, Well, I'm looking at Brad Pitt.
(09:41):
I think it's cool. What's wrong with it? It looks
he looks different. He looks like he has a lot
of lotion, and he's lit a little bit too brightly.
I have to think I have to guarantee that Brad
Pitt chose this. I read the article and he says
that this is going to be the last stage of
his career and he's thinking out to curate it, and
(10:01):
maybe that's how he wants. Is the design of us
in the last phase of his career to be Yeah,
we'll a little weirder. Are you supposed to design your careers?
I guess yeah, yeah, definitely, especially go on your LinkedIn.
You better start designing on your LinkedIn. Sure, yeah, I
do have a LinkedIn. Uh no, I'm not used LinkedIn.
(10:24):
I'll give you my phone number. No, No, if you want,
I could probably kind of replicate this photo for your
linked in. Yes, you gotta get some black goo to
lion and maybe some flowers and a lizard and then
you should be all set. Well, here's my royal waiter
for the Brad Pitt GQ you cover. I am absolutely
(10:45):
sure that he did the whole article and the cover
as his pr campaign for his next movie, Bullet Train,
which is set to release on August. My wager is
that on the opening weekend that movie will make around
thirty million dollar dollars And what what a top top
Gun did a hundred? Oh did over a hundred? Well,
(11:06):
when you're saying thirty million for Bullet Train, yes, with
Bullet Train is going to be a bomb? Is that
what you're saying? Um, I don't. I mean, I think
it's like a lower budget movie to begin with, you know,
and it's not like part of a very popular eyed piece.
So I think thirty mill is probably best you can do.
I'm not gonna be on Bullet Train. I think million tops.
(11:34):
I'm sorry, that doesn't work. That bet doesn't work. Yeah,
that's a terrible bet. I say one dollar top, No,
uh you know, I'll say I'll take it up with
thirty five million tops. I think Brad looks good on
that cover, and I think it was a conscious decision
(11:55):
to usher in the new era of Brad Pitt via
the cover of Q magazine. And I think his new movie,
Bullet Train is going to be a smash. It's gonna break.
I mean, one thing this movie has going on for like,
Japan is the hottest country on the internet right now. Everybody,
everybody loves anime and in Japan like um inspired. So
(12:18):
there's a lot of Japanese inspired. You know, it's said
in Japan the movie does kind of look like anime innocence. Yeah,
so that has that, the movie has that going for it. Okay,
so it's a live action Brad Pitt action anime vibe
said in Japan monster hit. Okay, you know it's really
it's based on Japanese novel. Really. Yeah, Maria Beetle like
(12:43):
Kotara Issaka. They did the right thing, changing that name
Maria Beetle Brad Pitt and Maria Beetle Man. He dodged
the bullet to take the bullet train. Chrislies. You know
(13:07):
who the Christlies are? I know who the Crislies ares.
I've actually watched their shows. I I only know of
them due to their recent turmoil. Christie's uh, the Christlie
Knows best stars got caught for taxivation, convicted. Apparently they're
going to jail. Uh. And so that's the government. Okay,
it's not just your opinion. No, no, no, they're asking
(13:31):
for thoughts and prayers instead of flowers and stuff. dNaM. Yeah,
I guess they have enough. They haven't animals, I mean
aren't they in prison? You know? So? I mean I've
heard that in prison, um, cigarettes are almost like gold,
so maybe they should last for cigarettes. Yeah, I don't
think you can bring them in. Okay, they could say,
please figure out a way to smuggle me in cigarettes
(13:53):
when I'm in prison. Can you smoke in your cell
in prison? Sure? Nice? Yeah? How's everyone complain about prison?
The Christie Knows Best stars apparently asked fans to stop
spending their hard earned money on flower arrangements and gifts
and instead keep the couple in their prayers. Why don't
we say a quick prayer for him? Then? Okay, do
you want to do the prayer or should I do
(14:13):
the prayer? I want to hear? Okay, prayer, God, thank
you for all you've done for us as enough tea, No, Chris,
I know, but that's how I started prayers first. First,
thank God for like, let me do you do your prayer?
We can't Dear God, thank you for all you have
(14:36):
done to us as enough tease to us? Yeah to us,
you know, and sounds like a complaint, like you're being sarcastic. No, No,
I'm generally grateful, and please let us be a healthy,
good enough teas in the future. But we have to
ask you to be to bless our other friends that
Chris Lei's. They're having a very very hard time in
(14:58):
prison and they do not deserve this. Please let the
Chrislies be vindicated of their innocence and um be let
out of prisons soon and like be with their reunited
with their families again a man as as Christly propaganda
and you've left out. They ripped people off. They took
tax money. People spend a lot of money on taxes
(15:20):
and like to get ripped off theoretically if they whatever
tax money goes to. Oh my god, you're so mad,
so mad at the Chrislies. I'm not saying don't pray
for the Chrizzlies, saying in addition, pray for whoever was
affected by the chrislies actions and all the people who
spend time in their life to work hard too and
(15:43):
for justice and honesty. Who made plenty of money, presumably
from a TV show. Shouldn't that be enough? No, I
don't think like reality starts make any many. They do,
they make a lot of money. You're just thinking because
we're reality podcast TV people make a lot of money.
And Luke come on, Like now you're sending sounds like
a politician. I sound like a minister. You sound like
(16:05):
a politician. Well they get uh if they've been on
doing that show for a long time, they got a
pretty good thing going and relax. Not judging them. I
guess I'm judging. Yeah, I don't know. I kind of
feel like tax you know, like whenever like government tax mane.
It's I think it's all fake. You know, they just
like sell bonds to get their money. You know, I
(16:25):
just think they take taxes just for show sometimes. Well,
the return of their show, it's about to return, be
the highest ratings ever. I think it will. It absolutely will.
I almost feel like there has been a lead up
to this, like the press is just ramping up a
week after week. I mean they were in the National Enquirer,
Like I was in the Human grocery store and I
(16:48):
saw the Chrislies prison hell, like you know, on the
front page page of the Inquiry. It wasn't like the
biggest photo, but it was sort of like you know,
the top photo, like you know, it was one of
the smaller photos. So I kind of feel like, yes,
it will get the greatest, biggest ratings. Ever. Do you
think celebrities ever paid the National enquire to feature them
and make up some stories about them. I think they
(17:09):
do for the Daily Mail. I don't know about the
National Enquirer. We can make up a story about you
and maybe people would give this the highest ratings ever.
So what do you think will their premier have the
highest ratings ever? I think their premier will have the
highest ratings ever. And I say this because I haven't
watched the show in a long time. I want to watch, Okay,
(17:31):
I want to see it's knowing that it sounds like
maybe they were secret criminals during the filming. He's so
accustomed to comfort fish out of war. Is it possible
this is all part of a grand plan? It possible.
I would hope that can't be that the d A
wouldn't get into the pr game. Yeah, that's funny, the
(17:56):
d A and the p rguing. I like that sentence,
thank you. I wrote it weeks ago. That is a
major Wait, only fans are either of you guys on
only fans? I mean that's a that's a you're about
to say as a consumer, Yes, uh no, no, I'm
not not only fans. You don't go on there and
(18:19):
visit any Uh, you're not a fan, and I would
say some of their prices are a little deer. I said,
go on, and I look, and I'm like, twenty dollars
for like a month of that? What did you get
for twenty dollars? Videos? You know, like coming out of
the shower, Yeah, like laying on the bed. Sammy Sheen
joining Only Fans? Was she I know who that is? Oh?
(18:42):
Are you talking about the Charlie's kid. Charlie's kid? Oh,
Denise and Charlie's kid is going to be on Only Fans. Yeah,
Oh my gosh, that is suddenly got really excited your attention. Yeah,
because man, it's they say the apple doesn't, like, you know,
fall further from the tree. She's like something like that.
(19:05):
Charlie was not happy. Well, yeah, that's the thing she's
doing exactly what Charlie Sheen would do when he was
at that age, if he was a woman at that age,
That's what Charlie Sheen would do. Well, it sounds like
maybe Denise talks some sense into Charlie because Charlie has
come around. Well that's good. Not only that Denise is
now on board, Denise is going to be on Only
(19:27):
Fans as well. That's right, Wow, that's that's shocking. I
didn't know that Denise would become like Charlie and Charlie
would more become more like Denise. Here's our wager, Well,
Charlie show up on only Fans. They say yes, why
because that's who he is? Like you know, um, he's
(19:50):
the kind of person who would be on like only
Fans And didn't he date a lot of porn stars
like in his day? So maybe he will be like, hey,
I want to do what my former girlfriends did, says yes, yes,
seven oh seven. I will say no because why wouldn't
he just announced with the niece together that say this
(20:12):
is our only Fans page. I guess they want to
get more subscribers. I'm gonna say no. I don't think
Charlie Sheen is going to join only Fans. I agree
with you. Charlie's on the rebound, isn't he He doesn't
want to get He wants to be supportive, but it's
a dangerous world up there. I think Charlie is gonna
steer clear of Only Fans. I don't think he wants
(20:33):
to get wrapped up in all that. Yeah, here's our bets.
That's my opinion. Buckheat. Did you watch Buckhead Shore Premier?
I have not watched it. I've I've seen It's like
social media though, those pictures Diana watch it. I mean,
why is it called shore? Like Atlanta does not have
(20:55):
a shore? Sure as sure as the brand to just
now you know. It's like when we were in Mexico,
we watched Eco Polco Shore and that was a thrilling show.
Oh yeah, that that show was crazy. Also keep in
mind that MTV also had the Polly Shore for a while,
The Weasel. I didn't see it. I didn't see it either,
(21:17):
But there was a big premier party and the cops
showed up. Really maybe it was all publicity though, what
was all yeah, like the police coming in. I mean
they're like large parties and bucket all the time. Pop
culture conspiracy theory, that's a whole other podcast. I'm conspiratorial
about maybe the Quigglies what are their names? The Chris
(21:39):
Chris Lees, Uh, conspiratorial about them, may believe, but because
you're quirky, uh, but I am not conspiratorial. I mean
I'm not interesting. It's not even like a big conspiracy
someone who has at the park and just like call hey,
someone's like, um drowning, you know, and like the police
could have come, yeah what what you know? They they
(22:03):
might have had a pool, you know, yeah, and like
they might have been made up a lie that someone's drowning.
Was it real, Georgia cops? Was it like hired security guards?
It could have been the Buckhead neighborhood watch it might
have been. We're gonna investigate this. Let's investigate this and
make the determination. Was the Buckhead shore Premier party bust
(22:26):
reel or bullshit. I'm going to take a drive to
Atlanta and I'm gonna go to the Buckhead neighborhood where
all those rich people live, and I'm going to visit
the Buckhead shore House. Oh please do there and try
to get on the show. We get video, we can
send that back to people via Gmail. Yeah, and I'll
try to get maybe the MTV cameraman to put point
his camera at me, and then I'll say prop culture.
(22:48):
I'm with on this. I'm gonna say bullshit. I feel
like it's a contrived PR stunt. I think I think
it was a big awesome party. Uh, And we're gonna
see Atlanta police department, police cars, not no generic knockoff police,
the old police. The TikTok SNL augician Guy Guy. There's
(23:13):
a comedian slash musician named Jake Novak on TikTok who
made his SNL audition video where he sings it he
like wraps it and he's just getting completely torn apart
by the comments section. People are duetting the video and
making fun of him. I feel bad for the guy me.
(23:33):
He seems like very soft and the whole world is
coming together to just ship on him. Oh so Dr
Funkie doesn't get wind of him. Maybe that maybe it
is Doc Funky, it's kind of channeling some of his
negative energy out. But I listen, the guy, that's his
own thing. You know, at least he's doing his own thing,
(23:56):
and he's clearly making an impact. Maybe he's ahead of
his time. Maybe he's the next Drake. We don't know. Yeah,
I mean even Leslie Jones commented on his video. So
so maybe he doesn't need to be on s No
he doesn't. Yeah, I mean, he's building an audience and
he does have his diehard supporters. Can we make a
wager on this guy? I have a wager. Well, he
(24:18):
will Saturday Night Live go mid Will they parody Jake
Noble parody Jake Novak? But I guess they're on hiatus
right now, on hiatus right now, so that may be
too much of a long but or we can just
do it. We can do a quick bet because Jake
Novak hasn't posted an update since his SNL audition, and
(24:41):
I wonder if his next video is he the kind
of say lavy kind of personality, or he'll just do
another original video, or will he address his haters like
we did. I think he will just make a totally
different video. Yes, I think that will be his next video,
not addressing any of the negative energy. No, no, no,
I think he will just not address it. And I
think he might double down and say, make you know
(25:04):
a video part two about why he should be on
sm L because he got so much attention. Well what
if his video doesn't reference it but is obviously a
response to it. Well, um, I don't know. Like, I
guess it's up to YouTube decide. Yeah, it's up to you.
To the side. He's gonna have a funny response that
doesn't mention the name of the show. And I think
(25:26):
he is going to make a video that's going to
sort of dance around the hateful comments. Uh in his
own distinct style of comedy. Make that wager. Snoop Dogg
and Eminem's board a video video. One thing I almost
forgot when we were talking about Doope snog before Snoop
(25:47):
Dogg and Eminem had a board a video. Yeah, the
Snoop and Eminem. It's an animated video. We're Snoop and
Eminem kind of turn into the apes, kind of of
the first mergers of media and n f T. Okay,
here's our internal wager. Will we make a prop culture
(26:09):
music video? I say no, Well, I say yes because
we're going to do that. I say yes too. It's
too long, so and we're gonna make an awesome song
and it's going to be a hit song on TikTok Yeah,
and we're gonna get Jake Novak probably gonna make a
little freestyle rap similar to our song. But okay, we
(26:32):
can drag Jake Novak into this. Yes, yeah, why does
some what does that send off to contact him? Well,
I can't the number one podcast, n f T centric
podcast do that, because um, yeah, maybe we should contact
I didn't even think about that it would be nice
to hear him to say no to us. Yeah, if
nothing else, because that means we've tried, which leads me
(26:54):
to feel and I have another madea like needs to
share them. So there's this um another like podcast company
called Fountain. Hey, before we get to that, I just
want to read a comment from the Snoop and eminem
board ape music video is from It's from Doc Funky.
Come on, I'm skidding. It's from Neo Possum, and Neo
(27:19):
Possum says nothing is more cringe than self referential crypto art.
Are we self referential crypto art? Yes? Yes, that's cringe.
It's it's the the apex of cringe, the board apex.
At least you're saying that about them. We'll get to
(27:41):
us eventually. Well, I have a small wager, a quick
wager actually. So there is another podcast company called Fountain,
which has started to pay as listeners bien coined to
listen to their podcasts. Wow. Yeah, so, um, do you
think we will ever hate our listeners to listen to us?
(28:04):
I think that seems kind of cringe. It seems kind
of cringe, right, Yeah, I say no, Yeah, I say
no to say no, I don't. I'd prefer they paid
us to listen to us. Is that that's that doesn't
sound cringe? It's the opposite of cringe on fleek? What's
(28:26):
what's on fleek mean? I don't know? Is that a
new saying because they saw it on Instagram this morning?
It's just the opposite of cringe on fleet. All right,
let's review this week's wagers. Will Brad Pitt's movie be
(28:47):
a smash head? Well? The Chrislies new episode premiers be
the highest ever? Charlie Sheen joined his ex wife and
daughter on Only Finns was the Buckhead Shore premiere party?
Bust stage side bet that I'm throwing in right now?
Big travel time around the fourth of July, everyone's flying places.
(29:07):
Will the next airline ask kicking be of a passenger
or of an employee? A passenger? A passenger a passenger? Right,
we're on the same page. Keep us in your dreams.
