Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to prop culture where technology meets narcissism. All right,
do you think we're all narcissistic? He's we stand for narcissism,
funkable tokens. Listen, We're all here for perpetual consciousness beyond
our deaths, which is why we're recording podcasts. Reading his
(00:31):
intro when you're that's okay. This is Kevin Hart, the
head of I Heart Media's mess. Kevin I Heart Friendly
wagers on current events. I was dictated by the missive
that is due to arrive any moment, and I will
refrain from yucky anyone's yum today. I did spend some
(00:53):
time over the weekend tallying our funds. Oh cool, I
have the results of the ledger. Really, who cares? I
mean cares? We should all care? He In the end,
it's all story, you know, like you could just make
it up. I'm not going to just make it up.
If you money, I'm getting it no matter what you do. Lu,
(01:17):
it's gotta win. So we're gonna own money, so might
as well. Do you know, Matt, why are you taking
approach to proper culture because lude has a like a
probability advantage. Listen, you're going to be shocked by the
results of the ledger um As everyone who follows our
show knows. Episode one, each got an envelope with hundred dollars.
Going forward, I'm going to have a code for each transaction,
(01:39):
but I have a grid based system which talies our
totals with each transaction. Does that make sense? Yeah, you're
talking like an accounting Yeah, all right, well that's good.
You could do like a smart contract like what n
f T s use, or like paper. Invent paper that
doesn't get crinkles. Uh, that's all mark that in the
ledger for I imagine like you could crumple it up
(02:01):
in your pocket, take it out and it looks clean. Still,
but I have it all. It's all digital, man. I'm
just saying you could all always read it. It's a
it's a cloth that you can write on. Yes, yeah,
let's hear. Uh, let's hear about the results. All right.
I'm gonna start just after ten weeks of prop culture.
We're entering week eleven. That's right, big big shake ups
(02:26):
are in our worth in each of our worst with
the most money quirkies. Three oh seven. That's what I
thought A hundred and ten dollars. That's a net positive. Yes,
so I I made out I have increase. Good for you, yeah,
good for you balls like Jagger. You are in second place,
(02:52):
a hundred dollars, zero percent at zero yeah. And by
the way, we own your money. You don't get to
have it. Loot for Adventurers. That's you have a hundred dollars.
Oh okay, I broke even, yes, and in last place
with nine quirkees. But you all but no, I mean
(03:17):
we're all basically about the same because at one point,
you know, I go back maybe like seven transactions, and
Loot had a hundred and twenty dollars and I had sixty. Wow,
you really came up from behind. You got a pre
existing condition. Come on, come on, let's just do prop culture.
I was born with a second asshole, Like that's two
(03:38):
inches of my other one, and it sometimes gets sweat
in there and it gets itchy and bloody. So you're
an n f T with two but hole. Well, I
mean I am two balls with two buttles. Because this
papas is this legit, because this doesn't seem rooted in reality. So,
according to media reporter Nita ulah By lab, what profession
(04:04):
is on the rise in depictions in pop culture as
being a morally dubious profession. What like, there's apparently there's
been a trend in media lately that they've been making
main characters of a certain profession and they're morally dubious.
What is it? And nine eight seven six five pologists,
(04:28):
three pologists, one clergy. No, you're all wrong, it's podcasters. Yeah,
talk about two assholes. Yeah, it really threw us, is there?
I mean, but a question balls. I think that is
fake news because I don't Yeah, name the show. We're
(04:55):
murders in the building. The movie Vengeance with bj Novak,
it's all about a true crime podcast and they want
there to be murders. Uh. In the New Dexter season,
a morally dubious podcaster inserts herself into a crime scene
and and quote in the Rye social comedy Rutherford falls
on Peacock, which no one's watching because no one has Peacock.
(05:18):
Two morally dubious podcasters run amuck. I did see the
Apple podcast app. We have a new review by a
guy named Tom's or one and it's a negative review.
Read it. I don't even want to read it, but
I just want to say, I'm not even gonna read
it because I'm not even gonna entertain this asshole who
said who calls prop culture pop snark commentary podcast, which
(05:42):
that's not what we are. We're not We're not snarking.
We're about bets. Let me just say, though he did,
in a sense, despite his negative review review, how many
stars did he give us too? Out of how many five?
He doesn't hate us? Okay? Uh, he says a bunch
of bullshit about us, And then he says a few
months later in a way over equipped company podcast studio
(06:07):
for the talent involved. But that makes it seem like
he thinks this show has high production value. And I yes,
I like that, and I'll say Tom's our one as
um someone involved in the technical aspects of the show.
I appreciate your compliment. And are there any positive reviews? Yeah,
there's a lot. Actually, oh really, what do they say?
(06:29):
Just like it's fun to listen to they listen to
it when they're driving to midtown? Good production value? Um,
balls like Jaggers my favorite? Can we get more balls? Like? Oh? Yeah?
Not a lot of balls like Jagger's voice gave me
in my first orgasm, A lot of that kind of stuff. Wow,
(06:53):
its like well, it's like Jagger has been online writing reviews. Hey,
what else am I gonna do? Oh? It's here, tell
Tom's or one. The missive has arrived, Dear Lubeck, and
(07:15):
the rest existence continues to be a gamble. Here today's
topics names. Americans love the new Brittany Elton song. No, No,
they don't come on. People love the song number one,
numb number one. Do you think people would love a
song that wasn't number one? People just love anything that's
(07:37):
on pop culture these days. I mean, there's no reason
why that Keith Bush songs number one for like weeks. Also,
we're talking about pop culture all the time. We're not
number one? Are we are? We number one? Though we
are number one? Uh? The I writings have come back,
We've we've risen. We dropped to number two, then we
will come back to number one again, particularly in a
(08:00):
Phoenix area. I don't know what's going on in Phoenix,
but Phoenix loves property. It's that college. There's a lot
of college kids there. Oh, Phoenix University online. So it's
an reimagining of Tiny Dancer. Britney was broken. I've been broken,
and it's horrible. That's what Elton John said about helping
(08:20):
Britney Spears sing again. You think more people would name
their child Elton. Well, apparently the number one baby name
in one in the United States was Olivia. Well, what's
the boys? Oh, I don't think they had one. Yeah, Oh,
they only care about names. I bet it's because of
Olivia Rodriguez. That's kidding. It was Liam. Oh God, you're
(08:43):
gonna hate this guy's number two. Noah, yeah, God, I've
got a pre existing condition. Oh oh god, no, not again,
not again, not again. This is like, yeah, it should
be limited. Luke should be limited to one pre existing connection.
Every What is the most popular male baby name in
(09:06):
no looking? Does do you have the do you have it?
You have it all? Rhine? Eight? Popular male name three
to Marcus one. The most popular baby name in two
is Liam. I mean that's that's what said. Yeah, that's
(09:32):
why I thought maybe you'd answer that carries over. I
thought I thought people really liked like Sydney Sweeney, So
I said Sydney. Well, I will say after transaction PC
zero zero three, Balls and lou are tied with a
hundred and ten dollars A hundred and I have eighty
dollars and remember when one of us hit zero, we
(09:53):
are banned from the show. Are you serious? That's the
rules of the game. Sat down from up top at
I heeart banned, locked out of the studio. Unique occupation. Uh,
(10:14):
there's a job opening in Scotland. You only work for
four hours a year. Is it like a month under
eight hours working weeks? Oh yeah. Uh. It's one of
the most beautiful and dramatic locations in Scotland and there's
a unique job available there that could be perfect for
someone who loves the thought of enjoying the isolation and
(10:36):
beauty of the northwesterly corner of Mainland UK. A lighthouse keeper.
Oh wow, Yeah, we got the perfect job for someone
I know and a retired person that I know that
you know retired? Yeah, I mean, hey, America's aging Okay,
we all know aging people. This country is full of
(10:59):
baby boom or millennials. But they have to keep the
light in the lens powered and they also replenish fuel
and wind clockworks as well as cleaning the lenses and
windows on the lighthouse. You have to be physically fit
and will travel by boat and the performance of your
duties I mean you have to you have I guess
you have to walk up all those steps and stuff. Yeah,
(11:20):
you have to walk the walk ups, walk up steps,
probably carrying a little bag with all your tools. The
light current lighthouse keepers his name is Barry and he
just retired. Well, why don't they have elevators in lighthouse?
Why don't they have elevators in light? And you have
you been in them? They're so small, that's like, why
don't we make them come fear plenty or sometimes like
(11:44):
elderly people and have a little chair that goes up
the steps, you know that they sit in maybe one
of those and it goes around like a loop de loop. Yeah. Yeah,
elderly people have a lot of time and they need
things to do that would be a good time, you know, Spender,
Is there a lighthouse and world that has an elevator?
That's our wager? I think no, And I think there's
(12:05):
probably like the architects who do lighthouses are stubborn and
they're like, no, we've always made ramped spaces for five
ft four men from the seventeenth century. I would say no,
mainly because I think there might be certain regulations that
prohibit lighthouses from having three facilities. I mean, anyway, do
(12:25):
light houses even matter anymore? In the age of GPS.
They usuge has declined over the years due to sophisticated
and effective electronic navigational systems like GPS. Makes sense, that's right,
but they still use them. And I am going to
bet that there is a lighthouse with an elevator, and
I'm going to say there is no lighthouse with an elevator.
(12:50):
I'll go with nobody wants to invest that an elevator
in alloyous like just walk the big fucking dail Just walk.
I want technology. I know balls like Jagger expert in porn.
Have you ever seen real zero gravity porn? I'm not
talking about special question. Yeah I have. I've only seen
the movie Moonraker and at the end um the age
(13:13):
appropriate relationship has sex and a saucer, I think, or
something like that. I'm not talking about I'm not talking
about special effects. I'm talking about like real gravity. Also,
do they show real oral and Moonrakers that I do? Yeah?
I think they moon rim Olivia Wild's new movie Harry
(13:41):
Styles Olivia Wild much hyped movie, Don't Worry Darling causing
worries as PR scandals increase. I saw the trailer Furtive
was better than all the other trailers that I saw. Yeah,
I'm interesting in watching this. Olivia Wilde says she's fired
Shyla buff because he reminds she fired him. Yeah, because
he reminded her of beef, you know, lapoof beef. Oh,
(14:03):
it's because he said there wasn't enough rehearsal time. But
then I saw her on a video saying come back
to well that that's the whole thing that she was
that before or after she said she fired him, But
beforehand she had actually begged him to come back. So
do you think she's not being honest? Yeah, she's making
her own story, you know, to show that I am
(14:25):
a woman of power. Do you think she's manipulative? Probably
all Hollywood stars. She need to be, because they need
to make their old story. Miles Teller, Yeah, Miles Teller
is pretty clear about who he is really. Harry Styles
fan blog leaked that video of Now It's a big
mess maybe one PR Vanity Fair movie critics said, maybe
(14:46):
worry a little, darling. Do you think there's gonna be
a day when we can weigh websites in pounds and
find out which website is the heaviest. Which is heavier? Well,
I have I have I think sixteen thousand photos on
my phone and when I moved him over to my computer,
you could tell it was much lighter. Wow. So Olivia
(15:10):
Wild's last name isn't Wild, It's Cockburn. Actually, really, yes,
why would she change that? Because she's an actress. She
has to make her own narrative. She can't be called
Olivia Cockburn. You know, she doesn't want to be named
after the factor or family. Genetically as a velk grow
inside there, Olivia Jane Cockburn. Yeah, this movie is going
(15:32):
to be a bost is just going to help the movie.
I mean, I don't know if like what's let's what's
consider a bust for this kind of movie because it's
definitely not a blockbuster, isn't Isn't it one of those
like movies with a bunchet of thirty million dollars? Let
me look the budget for this movie. Everyone's gonna want
to go see Harry Styles, So don't worry, Darling had
(15:53):
a bunch of twenty million dollars. I honestly it did
look unique in the sea of mediocrity. Is the current
cinematic landscape. But I don't know if it has mass appeal.
You know who else is in this psychological thriller? Nick Kroll?
Well yeah no, I'm like, okay, that might be a
(16:13):
problem because in a psychological thriller, putting Nick Rall might
not be the best. You don't think he's a good actor.
I can see if there's a ruining scenes, unless if
it's supposed to be a comedic scene. You know, he
has a very specific energy to him where he often
says Nick Rolls parents are rich. No he I mean
they're not million ers there, billionaires. They are rich then, yeah,
(16:36):
they're totally like Nick Roll's parents are billionaires. They're at
a different level than like other people with rich parents. Also, um,
don't worry. Darling will have its world premiere at the
Venice Film Festival in September five. So do you want
to make a bet on the three day opening weekend
or the week Let's just do the rotten tomato score,
I says, I says it gets a green. I says
(16:58):
it gets a green too, I say it gets rotten.
Say it's get that's well, that's what we're all for. Rott. Yeah. Oh,
it gets a green as rotten. Yeah, it's what doesn't
mean it's rotten, it means it's ripe. That's not a
rating on Rock to me. Well, I mean a rotten tomatoes,
not green. In the website it's fucking green. Hey a clover.
(17:22):
They put a clover on it. I think, yeah, that's
that's a booger clover for the longest. No, it's either
it's either a's tomato or a booger. I'm going tomato.
People are gonna love it. It's a booger. I'm going,
um clover. I think Olivia Cockburn made the Rock casting decision.
And Nick roll Quirkys real estate corner, Well, guess what
(17:48):
I'll do some real estate news um bre Go Morty
creator Dad Harmon advice out the neighbors. So this dude,
you know, lives in a house in Los Angeles, any
bought out both of his neighbors. What kind of just
have three houses? Yeah, he has three houses, but he
lives in the middle one because he doesn't want any neighbors.
(18:08):
But what is he going to connect them via a tube? That?
I am not very sure. Are you looking at the
house The three houses all look very different. Is their
tube room, though, I don't think so. It's a portal,
I don't think. Do you think maybe he wants to
have band practice and he doesn't want to have neighbors complaining.
I don't think so. I don't think he plays instruments,
maybe once for his wood shop, but I will do
(18:32):
a pre existing condition for this. Look at this. Okay, no, no, no,
So three years ago he paid three point six million
four house, his first house, you know, and then now
he's paid like I think eight point eight million for
the other two homesticks to him. So, which neighborhood is
(18:54):
he currently living in? Ten? It's Los Angeles ten. Nine. Oh,
I thought you're giving us ten options. Well i'll start
again nine eight. Do you started one more time? Counting? No,
Marvista five four, Miracle Mile three one? God bang, everybody
(19:21):
got wrong. It's Valley Village. Yeah, that's a thrift store. Chance. Yeah,
I didn't know Valley Village was this expensive, to be honest.
So you get thirty dollars there attractive. The game is
street drugs, etcetera, etcetera. How old are you guys? Like, uh,
(19:44):
six months? I think I think three years old? Actually
three years old? Yeah, to two years old, baby yeah,
two years old, baby um b LJ. You're unborn. Still
technically tapping at the womb with my fingernails. Scrape your
way out, someone's got to do it. If you're under
(20:06):
the age of one. In New York City, there's a
new band whip cream. Uh yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't
buy whip cream if you're under twenty one in New
York City. No more banana splits youth. You know why
I'm guessing the whole whippet thing. Approximately one in five
(20:29):
young people have used in hanns like whippets by the
time they reach eighth grade. Then I think the proliferation
of TikTok might be adding to it. Because I could
see twelve year old just looking at tikto I was like, oh, yeah,
look at the kind of whip creup. Haven't you ever
gone into a grocery store and and gone over to
the ready weapon, just took a tug off that for
the nitrous Well, I will stay back on the shelf,
(20:50):
I will say no. But I did work at Whole
Foods for a period of time, and I was in
the dairy cooler surrounded by whipped cream, and I thought
maybe I'll take a little hit of this and see
what happens. And then for the rest of my shift,
I just kept on taking hits of this whip cream
and then threw it underneath the milk stack. And then
my boss found it, and he said, there's an empty
(21:12):
whip cream over here, And I said, huh, how about that?
He knew it was you probably. How did you do it?
How did you just put your mouth over it and
make sure you're not getting any of the whip cream
in your mouth? Then you go, and then you get
like a weird, little little spacey dizzy feeling. My boy
did one with me once, uh, and he not my child.
My my friend did one in front of me once
(21:36):
and he turned completely gray. I punched him really hard
in the chest and he came back to life. That
I think I saved his life, and another my boy
and another guy I know. I had a big balloon
full and hailed half of it and immediately collapsed and
his face landed on the balloon on the ground so
(21:56):
that it protected him. Ah, it knocked him out and
also protected him at the same time. In New York City,
though this must have been a real it's a real
problem with a bunch of gray eighth graders falling up,
little gray men, They would say, is there a boys
de men at that day's You know? New York stores
are enforcing the ban on sale of whip cream to
(22:18):
those under twenty one, starting immediately. Well, I just thought
you were doing a whip it when you said starting.
The first defense of selling whip cream canisters is a
fine of how much money? It's a pre existing condition.
Fuck ship Wait nine sell eighth grader, So it's not fine.
(22:41):
It's five four three two one two. Do y'all own
me ten dollars each? Okay, transloes. Let me go to
the Ledger and I'm gonna mark this transaction. Closest doesn't
count on this show. Can we call it the Memorial
Heath Ledger? Yeah, of course we can. Culture. According to
(23:07):
a survey, two point of Colorado's population aged twelve and
older reported using cocaine in the past year, speaking illicit
drug use ages two and over, twelve and over two
two four. That's low. That's not a lot. I guess
cocaine is out of style. Though highest in the nation, Colorado,
(23:29):
Colorado is a nation's cocaine use capital. Damn bad ass
this is a pre existing condition. On Reddit, are slash cocaine.
Reddit user new pause seventy seven pays a certain amount
of money a US dollar for a gram of cocaine.
(23:55):
What is the price? Can I make an add Wait?
Can I say? I want everyone to know this is
not a visual medium, so we're not like encouraging anyone
to do cocaine. That's your addendum nine eight six, five,
(24:15):
four three two one. Fuck you lost, God, damnit, fucking
ship looked. Oh my god, these are I'm cleaning up
with these preexisting conditions. So what happens? I owe you
money now we all owe luke. Damn it. Yeah, terrible
(24:39):
question you have. You should like a question where terrible question.
You should have had a question where it's like hundred
and seventy five. Listen, I just saw the top top
one was new past the most most up voted. Yeah,
you should have did something like that's the impossible. Guests
having fun with cocaine. You want to trick people, You're
using that quirk. He's trick style. Maybe that's why you're
(25:02):
in the last place today. Damn. Do you know what
shady business practices do? They leave you in the dark.
You know what I mean, they're collectible. Uh, I don't
know if this isn't really my territory. Unlike cocaine and
whippets that I can talk about, I can guess the price.
(25:25):
A mint condition Mickey Mantle baseball card sold for twelve
point six million, lasting into their record books is the
most ever paid for sports memorabilia and a market that
has grown exponentially more lucrative in recent years. Really well, so,
the Honus Wagner card isn't the most old news It
(25:45):
easily surpasses seven point to five million for a century
old Honus Wagner. But isn't it the best known condition
card of this in the world. Near perfect condition uh
and his legendary subject um made this likely destined to
be a top seller, They say, I wonder what it
smells like. What's the difference between a Mickey Mantle card
(26:09):
that sells for twelve point six million and an n
f T that sells for twelve point six million. I'll
tell you right now. And n F T is always
going to be in perfect condition no matter how old
it gets. The Mickey Mantle the scarcity of it is
indicated by its tactile, physical nature and that it can
deteriorate over time. That is true. Now does that make
(26:32):
an n f T a perfect collectible because it will
never deteriorate, it will always be in meet mint condition?
Or will there be some sort of upgrade to n
f T s that allows for them to deteriorate? What
if you scratch the c D c D is a
physical object? All that n f T s on c
D s and also smaller difference. I think the demographics
(26:55):
that are willing to pay for n f T s
and the demographics that are willing to pay for baseball
cards or different. UM. I would guess that UM people
buying baseball cards are a little older and they come
from like more traditional industries like oil gas. Well, it's
funny that you say that, because the auction that had
(27:17):
a handsome profit for Anthony Giordano, a New Jersey waste
management entrepreneur, who brought it for fifty dollars at a
New York City show. Wow dollars, and now it's twelve
points since mill, I wonder how much we're gonna sell
balls like Jagger for who? I hope it's over fifteen dollars.
(27:39):
Do you think maybe we should try to make a
sports card of balls like Jagger instead. Interest. Yes, that
would be awesome. Closing up the missive and opening up
the mail bag. Send us your wager, requests, your comments
and criticisms. If you have a good review, leave it
for us and give us five stars. Don't waste anybody's
time with two stars andism. Give us praise and five stars.
(28:03):
Wait until you like it. Then he wants to just
do it. Kim writes, whatever, I just want to tell
you you're wrong about the movie. You don't like it
because you're jaded, or you've never had a mom, which
is fair as n f T s. She's talking. They're
talking about the Olivia Wild now everything everywhere, all at once. Uh. Look,
(28:25):
I saw a fifth element when I was younger. I
remember being super pissed that the fifth element was love.
Spoiler alert. I threw my popcorn and stormed out. So
on some level I was disappointed with myself and the
tears streaming down my face because of how deeply I
adored E. A A O. Since I realized it's exactly
the same cheesy bullshit. Maybe cheesy bullshit is my thing now, Kim,
(28:49):
But whatever, I wanted to tell you're wrong about the movie.
It's the best thing that it's come out in ages. Um,
pissed at your dismissive disdain, I'm also writing because I
want you to know how much I love you. Guys.
Why don't you go watch your fucking movie you love
so much Jesus Christ, Like, let's go watch it, or
something like I love it too, Like I wouldn't start
(29:11):
a fight. I would just watch it because it was
pretty fun. Because I believe the power of love. And
if e a Ao taught me anything, it's probably about
the power of love. Oh, I will say probably. You
know somewhere right now, Tom's are one is in a
bar saying prop culture is not emotionally involving, and then
(29:31):
one of our fans is probably getting watery eyed saying
it's prop culture has taught me about the meaning of love.
Prop culture teaches you about the meaning of love. Alternate
What is the meaning of love? Gypsy seventy six When
you want to have sex with someone? I think, and
all honestly think the whole. I think it's a hard
(29:54):
thing to conceptualize. Um. I think it's sad and bad
that love sad and bad has been like this concept like,
it's just so over pop culture everywhere. It's been co
opted by Americans. Yeah, and look at like they have
the TV show Rock of Love with Red the Hitman Heart.
It's more a feeling, I guess if something that you
love goes away. I mean, that's one of the ways
(30:17):
I would like conceptualizes if this thing that you love
goes away, you will be sad. We prop Culture is
going away now, just for now, just for today, So
be sad, but we'll be back next week so you
can be happy. Prop Culture is a production of School
of Humans and I Heart Media Podcasts. Everything we say
(30:39):
here on this on this show is unreliable. Closing up
the missive prop Culture
You're listening to prop culture where technology meets narcissism. All right,
do you think we're all narcissistic? He's we stand for narcissism,
funkable tokens. Listen, We're all here for perpetual consciousness beyond
our deaths, which is why we're recording podcasts. Reading his
(00:31):
intro when you're that's okay. This is Kevin Hart, the
head of I Heart Media's mess. Kevin I Heart Friendly
wagers on current events. I was dictated by the missive
that is due to arrive any moment, and I will
refrain from yucky anyone's yum today. I did spend some
(00:53):
time over the weekend tallying our funds. Oh cool, I
have the results of the ledger. Really, who cares? I
mean cares? We should all care? He In the end,
it's all story, you know, like you could just make
it up. I'm not going to just make it up.
If you money, I'm getting it no matter what you do. Lu,
(01:17):
it's gotta win. So we're gonna own money, so might
as well. Do you know, Matt, why are you taking
approach to proper culture because lude has a like a
probability advantage. Listen, you're going to be shocked by the
results of the ledger um As everyone who follows our
show knows. Episode one, each got an envelope with hundred dollars.
Going forward, I'm going to have a code for each transaction,
(01:39):
but I have a grid based system which talies our
totals with each transaction. Does that make sense? Yeah, you're
talking like an accounting Yeah, all right, well that's good.
You could do like a smart contract like what n
f T s use, or like paper. Invent paper that
doesn't get crinkles. Uh, that's all mark that in the
ledger for I imagine like you could crumple it up
(02:01):
in your pocket, take it out and it looks clean. Still,
but I have it all. It's all digital, man. I'm
just saying you could all always read it. It's a
it's a cloth that you can write on. Yes, yeah,
let's hear. Uh, let's hear about the results. All right.
I'm gonna start just after ten weeks of prop culture.
We're entering week eleven. That's right, big big shake ups
(02:26):
are in our worth in each of our worst with
the most money quirkies. Three oh seven. That's what I
thought A hundred and ten dollars. That's a net positive. Yes,
so I I made out I have increase. Good for you, yeah,
good for you balls like Jagger. You are in second place,
(02:52):
a hundred dollars, zero percent at zero yeah. And by
the way, we own your money. You don't get to
have it. Loot for Adventurers. That's you have a hundred dollars.
Oh okay, I broke even, yes, and in last place
with nine quirkees. But you all but no, I mean
(03:17):
we're all basically about the same because at one point,
you know, I go back maybe like seven transactions, and
Loot had a hundred and twenty dollars and I had sixty. Wow,
you really came up from behind. You got a pre
existing condition. Come on, come on, let's just do prop culture.
I was born with a second asshole, Like that's two
(03:38):
inches of my other one, and it sometimes gets sweat
in there and it gets itchy and bloody. So you're
an n f T with two but hole. Well, I
mean I am two balls with two buttles. Because this
papas is this legit, because this doesn't seem rooted in reality. So,
according to media reporter Nita ulah By lab, what profession
(04:04):
is on the rise in depictions in pop culture as
being a morally dubious profession. What like, there's apparently there's
been a trend in media lately that they've been making
main characters of a certain profession and they're morally dubious.
What is it? And nine eight seven six five pologists,
(04:28):
three pologists, one clergy. No, you're all wrong, it's podcasters. Yeah,
talk about two assholes. Yeah, it really threw us, is there?
I mean, but a question balls. I think that is
fake news because I don't Yeah, name the show. We're
(04:55):
murders in the building. The movie Vengeance with bj Novak,
it's all about a true crime podcast and they want
there to be murders. Uh. In the New Dexter season,
a morally dubious podcaster inserts herself into a crime scene
and and quote in the Rye social comedy Rutherford falls
on Peacock, which no one's watching because no one has Peacock.
(05:18):
Two morally dubious podcasters run amuck. I did see the
Apple podcast app. We have a new review by a
guy named Tom's or one and it's a negative review.
Read it. I don't even want to read it, but
I just want to say, I'm not even gonna read
it because I'm not even gonna entertain this asshole who
said who calls prop culture pop snark commentary podcast, which
(05:42):
that's not what we are. We're not We're not snarking.
We're about bets. Let me just say, though he did,
in a sense, despite his negative review review, how many
stars did he give us too? Out of how many five?
He doesn't hate us? Okay? Uh, he says a bunch
of bullshit about us, And then he says a few
months later in a way over equipped company podcast studio
(06:07):
for the talent involved. But that makes it seem like
he thinks this show has high production value. And I yes,
I like that, and I'll say Tom's our one as
um someone involved in the technical aspects of the show.
I appreciate your compliment. And are there any positive reviews? Yeah,
there's a lot. Actually, oh really, what do they say?
(06:29):
Just like it's fun to listen to they listen to
it when they're driving to midtown? Good production value? Um,
balls like Jaggers my favorite? Can we get more balls? Like? Oh? Yeah?
Not a lot of balls like Jagger's voice gave me
in my first orgasm, A lot of that kind of stuff. Wow,
(06:53):
its like well, it's like Jagger has been online writing reviews. Hey,
what else am I gonna do? Oh? It's here, tell
Tom's or one. The missive has arrived, Dear Lubeck, and
(07:15):
the rest existence continues to be a gamble. Here today's
topics names. Americans love the new Brittany Elton song. No, No,
they don't come on. People love the song number one,
numb number one. Do you think people would love a
song that wasn't number one? People just love anything that's
(07:37):
on pop culture these days. I mean, there's no reason
why that Keith Bush songs number one for like weeks. Also,
we're talking about pop culture all the time. We're not
number one? Are we are? We number one? Though we
are number one? Uh? The I writings have come back,
We've we've risen. We dropped to number two, then we
will come back to number one again, particularly in a
(08:00):
Phoenix area. I don't know what's going on in Phoenix,
but Phoenix loves property. It's that college. There's a lot
of college kids there. Oh, Phoenix University online. So it's
an reimagining of Tiny Dancer. Britney was broken. I've been broken,
and it's horrible. That's what Elton John said about helping
(08:20):
Britney Spears sing again. You think more people would name
their child Elton. Well, apparently the number one baby name
in one in the United States was Olivia. Well, what's
the boys? Oh, I don't think they had one. Yeah, Oh,
they only care about names. I bet it's because of
Olivia Rodriguez. That's kidding. It was Liam. Oh God, you're
(08:43):
gonna hate this guy's number two. Noah, yeah, God, I've
got a pre existing condition. Oh oh god, no, not again,
not again, not again. This is like, yeah, it should
be limited. Luke should be limited to one pre existing connection.
Every What is the most popular male baby name in
(09:06):
no looking? Does do you have the do you have it?
You have it all? Rhine? Eight? Popular male name three
to Marcus one. The most popular baby name in two
is Liam. I mean that's that's what said. Yeah, that's
(09:32):
why I thought maybe you'd answer that carries over. I
thought I thought people really liked like Sydney Sweeney, So
I said Sydney. Well, I will say after transaction PC
zero zero three, Balls and lou are tied with a
hundred and ten dollars A hundred and I have eighty
dollars and remember when one of us hit zero, we
(09:53):
are banned from the show. Are you serious? That's the
rules of the game. Sat down from up top at
I heeart banned, locked out of the studio. Unique occupation. Uh,
(10:14):
there's a job opening in Scotland. You only work for
four hours a year. Is it like a month under
eight hours working weeks? Oh yeah. Uh. It's one of
the most beautiful and dramatic locations in Scotland and there's
a unique job available there that could be perfect for
someone who loves the thought of enjoying the isolation and
(10:36):
beauty of the northwesterly corner of Mainland UK. A lighthouse keeper.
Oh wow, Yeah, we got the perfect job for someone
I know and a retired person that I know that
you know retired? Yeah, I mean, hey, America's aging Okay,
we all know aging people. This country is full of
(10:59):
baby boom or millennials. But they have to keep the
light in the lens powered and they also replenish fuel
and wind clockworks as well as cleaning the lenses and
windows on the lighthouse. You have to be physically fit
and will travel by boat and the performance of your
duties I mean you have to you have I guess
you have to walk up all those steps and stuff. Yeah,
(11:20):
you have to walk the walk ups, walk up steps,
probably carrying a little bag with all your tools. The
light current lighthouse keepers his name is Barry and he
just retired. Well, why don't they have elevators in lighthouse?
Why don't they have elevators in light? And you have
you been in them? They're so small, that's like, why
don't we make them come fear plenty or sometimes like
(11:44):
elderly people and have a little chair that goes up
the steps, you know that they sit in maybe one
of those and it goes around like a loop de loop. Yeah. Yeah,
elderly people have a lot of time and they need
things to do that would be a good time, you know, Spender,
Is there a lighthouse and world that has an elevator?
That's our wager? I think no, And I think there's
(12:05):
probably like the architects who do lighthouses are stubborn and
they're like, no, we've always made ramped spaces for five
ft four men from the seventeenth century. I would say no,
mainly because I think there might be certain regulations that
prohibit lighthouses from having three facilities. I mean, anyway, do
(12:25):
light houses even matter anymore? In the age of GPS.
They usuge has declined over the years due to sophisticated
and effective electronic navigational systems like GPS. Makes sense, that's right,
but they still use them. And I am going to
bet that there is a lighthouse with an elevator, and
I'm going to say there is no lighthouse with an elevator.
(12:50):
I'll go with nobody wants to invest that an elevator
in alloyous like just walk the big fucking dail Just walk.
I want technology. I know balls like Jagger expert in porn.
Have you ever seen real zero gravity porn? I'm not
talking about special question. Yeah I have. I've only seen
the movie Moonraker and at the end um the age
(13:13):
appropriate relationship has sex and a saucer, I think, or
something like that. I'm not talking about I'm not talking
about special effects. I'm talking about like real gravity. Also,
do they show real oral and Moonrakers that I do? Yeah?
I think they moon rim Olivia Wild's new movie Harry
(13:41):
Styles Olivia Wild much hyped movie, Don't Worry Darling causing
worries as PR scandals increase. I saw the trailer Furtive
was better than all the other trailers that I saw. Yeah,
I'm interesting in watching this. Olivia Wilde says she's fired
Shyla buff because he reminds she fired him. Yeah, because
he reminded her of beef, you know, lapoof beef. Oh,
(14:03):
it's because he said there wasn't enough rehearsal time. But
then I saw her on a video saying come back
to well that that's the whole thing that she was
that before or after she said she fired him, But
beforehand she had actually begged him to come back. So
do you think she's not being honest? Yeah, she's making
her own story, you know, to show that I am
(14:25):
a woman of power. Do you think she's manipulative? Probably
all Hollywood stars. She need to be, because they need
to make their old story. Miles Teller, Yeah, Miles Teller
is pretty clear about who he is really. Harry Styles
fan blog leaked that video of Now It's a big
mess maybe one PR Vanity Fair movie critics said, maybe
(14:46):
worry a little, darling. Do you think there's gonna be
a day when we can weigh websites in pounds and
find out which website is the heaviest. Which is heavier? Well,
I have I have I think sixteen thousand photos on
my phone and when I moved him over to my computer,
you could tell it was much lighter. Wow. So Olivia
(15:10):
Wild's last name isn't Wild, It's Cockburn. Actually, really, yes,
why would she change that? Because she's an actress. She
has to make her own narrative. She can't be called
Olivia Cockburn. You know, she doesn't want to be named
after the factor or family. Genetically as a velk grow
inside there, Olivia Jane Cockburn. Yeah, this movie is going
(15:32):
to be a bost is just going to help the movie.
I mean, I don't know if like what's let's what's
consider a bust for this kind of movie because it's
definitely not a blockbuster, isn't Isn't it one of those
like movies with a bunchet of thirty million dollars? Let
me look the budget for this movie. Everyone's gonna want
to go see Harry Styles, So don't worry, Darling had
(15:53):
a bunch of twenty million dollars. I honestly it did
look unique in the sea of mediocrity. Is the current
cinematic landscape. But I don't know if it has mass appeal.
You know who else is in this psychological thriller? Nick Kroll?
Well yeah no, I'm like, okay, that might be a
(16:13):
problem because in a psychological thriller, putting Nick Rall might
not be the best. You don't think he's a good actor.
I can see if there's a ruining scenes, unless if
it's supposed to be a comedic scene. You know, he
has a very specific energy to him where he often
says Nick Rolls parents are rich. No he I mean
they're not million ers there, billionaires. They are rich then, yeah,
(16:36):
they're totally like Nick Roll's parents are billionaires. They're at
a different level than like other people with rich parents. Also, um,
don't worry. Darling will have its world premiere at the
Venice Film Festival in September five. So do you want
to make a bet on the three day opening weekend
or the week Let's just do the rotten tomato score,
I says, I says it gets a green. I says
(16:58):
it gets a green too, I say it gets rotten.
Say it's get that's well, that's what we're all for. Rott. Yeah. Oh,
it gets a green as rotten. Yeah, it's what doesn't
mean it's rotten, it means it's ripe. That's not a
rating on Rock to me. Well, I mean a rotten tomatoes,
not green. In the website it's fucking green. Hey a clover.
(17:22):
They put a clover on it. I think, yeah, that's
that's a booger clover for the longest. No, it's either
it's either a's tomato or a booger. I'm going tomato.
People are gonna love it. It's a booger. I'm going,
um clover. I think Olivia Cockburn made the Rock casting decision.
And Nick roll Quirkys real estate corner, Well, guess what
(17:48):
I'll do some real estate news um bre Go Morty
creator Dad Harmon advice out the neighbors. So this dude,
you know, lives in a house in Los Angeles, any
bought out both of his neighbors. What kind of just
have three houses? Yeah, he has three houses, but he
lives in the middle one because he doesn't want any neighbors.
(18:08):
But what is he going to connect them via a tube? That?
I am not very sure. Are you looking at the
house The three houses all look very different. Is their
tube room, though, I don't think so. It's a portal,
I don't think. Do you think maybe he wants to
have band practice and he doesn't want to have neighbors complaining.
I don't think so. I don't think he plays instruments,
maybe once for his wood shop, but I will do
(18:32):
a pre existing condition for this. Look at this. Okay, no, no, no,
So three years ago he paid three point six million
four house, his first house, you know, and then now
he's paid like I think eight point eight million for
the other two homesticks to him. So, which neighborhood is
(18:54):
he currently living in? Ten? It's Los Angeles ten. Nine. Oh,
I thought you're giving us ten options. Well i'll start
again nine eight. Do you started one more time? Counting? No,
Marvista five four, Miracle Mile three one? God bang, everybody
(19:21):
got wrong. It's Valley Village. Yeah, that's a thrift store. Chance. Yeah,
I didn't know Valley Village was this expensive, to be honest.
So you get thirty dollars there attractive. The game is
street drugs, etcetera, etcetera. How old are you guys? Like, uh,
(19:44):
six months? I think I think three years old? Actually
three years old? Yeah, to two years old, baby yeah,
two years old, baby um b LJ. You're unborn. Still
technically tapping at the womb with my fingernails. Scrape your
way out, someone's got to do it. If you're under
(20:06):
the age of one. In New York City, there's a
new band whip cream. Uh yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't
buy whip cream if you're under twenty one in New
York City. No more banana splits youth. You know why
I'm guessing the whole whippet thing. Approximately one in five
(20:29):
young people have used in hanns like whippets by the
time they reach eighth grade. Then I think the proliferation
of TikTok might be adding to it. Because I could
see twelve year old just looking at tikto I was like, oh, yeah,
look at the kind of whip creup. Haven't you ever
gone into a grocery store and and gone over to
the ready weapon, just took a tug off that for
the nitrous Well, I will stay back on the shelf,
(20:50):
I will say no. But I did work at Whole
Foods for a period of time, and I was in
the dairy cooler surrounded by whipped cream, and I thought
maybe I'll take a little hit of this and see
what happens. And then for the rest of my shift,
I just kept on taking hits of this whip cream
and then threw it underneath the milk stack. And then
my boss found it, and he said, there's an empty
(21:12):
whip cream over here, And I said, huh, how about that?
He knew it was you probably. How did you do it?
How did you just put your mouth over it and
make sure you're not getting any of the whip cream
in your mouth? Then you go, and then you get
like a weird, little little spacey dizzy feeling. My boy
did one with me once, uh, and he not my child.
My my friend did one in front of me once
(21:36):
and he turned completely gray. I punched him really hard
in the chest and he came back to life. That
I think I saved his life, and another my boy
and another guy I know. I had a big balloon
full and hailed half of it and immediately collapsed and
his face landed on the balloon on the ground so
(21:56):
that it protected him. Ah, it knocked him out and
also protected him at the same time. In New York City,
though this must have been a real it's a real
problem with a bunch of gray eighth graders falling up,
little gray men, They would say, is there a boys
de men at that day's You know? New York stores
are enforcing the ban on sale of whip cream to
(22:18):
those under twenty one, starting immediately. Well, I just thought
you were doing a whip it when you said starting.
The first defense of selling whip cream canisters is a
fine of how much money? It's a pre existing condition.
Fuck ship Wait nine sell eighth grader, So it's not fine.
(22:41):
It's five four three two one two. Do y'all own
me ten dollars each? Okay, transloes. Let me go to
the Ledger and I'm gonna mark this transaction. Closest doesn't
count on this show. Can we call it the Memorial
Heath Ledger? Yeah, of course we can. Culture. According to
(23:07):
a survey, two point of Colorado's population aged twelve and
older reported using cocaine in the past year, speaking illicit
drug use ages two and over, twelve and over two
two four. That's low. That's not a lot. I guess
cocaine is out of style. Though highest in the nation, Colorado,
(23:29):
Colorado is a nation's cocaine use capital. Damn bad ass
this is a pre existing condition. On Reddit, are slash cocaine.
Reddit user new pause seventy seven pays a certain amount
of money a US dollar for a gram of cocaine.
(23:55):
What is the price? Can I make an add Wait?
Can I say? I want everyone to know this is
not a visual medium, so we're not like encouraging anyone
to do cocaine. That's your addendum nine eight six, five,
(24:15):
four three two one. Fuck you lost, God, damnit, fucking
ship looked. Oh my god, these are I'm cleaning up
with these preexisting conditions. So what happens? I owe you
money now we all owe luke. Damn it. Yeah, terrible
(24:39):
question you have. You should like a question where terrible question.
You should have had a question where it's like hundred
and seventy five. Listen, I just saw the top top
one was new past the most most up voted. Yeah,
you should have did something like that's the impossible. Guests
having fun with cocaine. You want to trick people, You're
using that quirk. He's trick style. Maybe that's why you're
(25:02):
in the last place today. Damn. Do you know what
shady business practices do? They leave you in the dark.
You know what I mean, they're collectible. Uh, I don't
know if this isn't really my territory. Unlike cocaine and
whippets that I can talk about, I can guess the price.
(25:25):
A mint condition Mickey Mantle baseball card sold for twelve
point six million, lasting into their record books is the
most ever paid for sports memorabilia and a market that
has grown exponentially more lucrative in recent years. Really well, so,
the Honus Wagner card isn't the most old news It
(25:45):
easily surpasses seven point to five million for a century
old Honus Wagner. But isn't it the best known condition
card of this in the world. Near perfect condition uh
and his legendary subject um made this likely destined to
be a top seller, They say, I wonder what it
smells like. What's the difference between a Mickey Mantle card
(26:09):
that sells for twelve point six million and an n
f T that sells for twelve point six million. I'll
tell you right now. And n F T is always
going to be in perfect condition no matter how old
it gets. The Mickey Mantle the scarcity of it is
indicated by its tactile, physical nature and that it can
deteriorate over time. That is true. Now does that make
(26:32):
an n f T a perfect collectible because it will
never deteriorate, it will always be in meet mint condition?
Or will there be some sort of upgrade to n
f T s that allows for them to deteriorate? What
if you scratch the c D c D is a
physical object? All that n f T s on c
D s and also smaller difference. I think the demographics
(26:55):
that are willing to pay for n f T s
and the demographics that are willing to pay for baseball
cards or different. UM. I would guess that UM people
buying baseball cards are a little older and they come
from like more traditional industries like oil gas. Well, it's
funny that you say that, because the auction that had
(27:17):
a handsome profit for Anthony Giordano, a New Jersey waste
management entrepreneur, who brought it for fifty dollars at a
New York City show. Wow dollars, and now it's twelve
points since mill, I wonder how much we're gonna sell
balls like Jagger for who? I hope it's over fifteen dollars.
(27:39):
Do you think maybe we should try to make a
sports card of balls like Jagger instead. Interest. Yes, that
would be awesome. Closing up the missive and opening up
the mail bag. Send us your wager, requests, your comments
and criticisms. If you have a good review, leave it
for us and give us five stars. Don't waste anybody's
time with two stars andism. Give us praise and five stars.
(28:03):
Wait until you like it. Then he wants to just
do it. Kim writes, whatever, I just want to tell
you you're wrong about the movie. You don't like it
because you're jaded, or you've never had a mom, which
is fair as n f T s. She's talking. They're
talking about the Olivia Wild now everything everywhere, all at once. Uh. Look,
(28:25):
I saw a fifth element when I was younger. I
remember being super pissed that the fifth element was love.
Spoiler alert. I threw my popcorn and stormed out. So
on some level I was disappointed with myself and the
tears streaming down my face because of how deeply I
adored E. A A O. Since I realized it's exactly
the same cheesy bullshit. Maybe cheesy bullshit is my thing now, Kim,
(28:49):
But whatever, I wanted to tell you're wrong about the movie.
It's the best thing that it's come out in ages. Um,
pissed at your dismissive disdain, I'm also writing because I
want you to know how much I love you. Guys.
Why don't you go watch your fucking movie you love
so much Jesus Christ, Like, let's go watch it, or
something like I love it too, Like I wouldn't start
(29:11):
a fight. I would just watch it because it was
pretty fun. Because I believe the power of love. And
if e a Ao taught me anything, it's probably about
the power of love. Oh, I will say probably. You
know somewhere right now, Tom's are one is in a
bar saying prop culture is not emotionally involving, and then
(29:31):
one of our fans is probably getting watery eyed saying
it's prop culture has taught me about the meaning of love.
Prop culture teaches you about the meaning of love. Alternate
What is the meaning of love? Gypsy seventy six When
you want to have sex with someone? I think, and
all honestly think the whole. I think it's a hard
(29:54):
thing to conceptualize. Um. I think it's sad and bad
that love sad and bad has been like this concept like,
it's just so over pop culture everywhere. It's been co
opted by Americans. Yeah, and look at like they have
the TV show Rock of Love with Red the Hitman Heart.
It's more a feeling, I guess if something that you
love goes away. I mean, that's one of the ways
(30:17):
I would like conceptualizes if this thing that you love
goes away, you will be sad. We prop Culture is
going away now, just for now, just for today, So
be sad, but we'll be back next week so you
can be happy. Prop Culture is a production of School
