Speaker 1 (00:06):
Welcome back to prop culture. Hello, this is loot Bag
Luke for adventurers. I'm an n f T. Welcome quirkies
three oh seven and in that order, how are you glitter?
I just had some lacroix in my mouth. It's kind
of a special effect, kind of made me sound like
a fish. I'm always disappointed by lacroix. Yeah, I do
(00:32):
not relate to that. Yeah, I think lakueise are fine.
Are you one of those pellegrino from a glass bottle
of people? I would like that. Sure, I like an
ice water. Get out of here with your fizz. I
love I'm addicted to bubbles. Yeah, I guess it makes
your mouth feel a little cleaner in all forms. I
love the Coca cola, I love the light beers, I
(00:52):
love the lacroise. Well, I'm very happy to be here
with you guys here too. We just survived. We just
served vived Thanksgiving. Wasn't that fun to think about how
we survived it. I'm not going to survive my fifth
turkey sandwich after the show, though. How did you cook
your turkey? Oh? So we bran it for overnight? And Brian,
(01:18):
have you got the recipe from your friend Gwyneth. Gwyneth, Yes, Gwyneth,
it was from Goopes. Goop has good recipes. Um, but
I used Goops of slow roasted turkey recipe, which calls
for a turkey to be brant in a mixture of
half a cup of salt and three quarters worth of
(01:40):
ground sugar. Doesn't it call for a little bit of
Gwyneth Peltrow's vagina too? Nope, that's too expensive. Is that
something that she does? She sells her vagina on Goop
or whatever? Um? I don't think so. I think she
talks about her vagina, but I think her vaginas what
she do with her vagina? Why would she call a
goop in that? In that case, I'm gonna google Gwyneth
(02:01):
Paltrow vagina and see what comes up. I have to
think the gend p are connected to her initials. Right,
you're not gonna believe this. I spelled it vagibina. She
was selling a candle that smells like her vagina. Come on,
that's according to the Guardian, like a glade. I mean,
(02:23):
I haven't heard breeze. It's fifty eight pounds, which is
a British way of talking about money. Does she not
selling in America. Maybe it's illegal in America because I
don't know if we're allowed to talk about her vagina
in this show. You know, I let it talk about
her vagina. Hold on, let me check, uh if we
talk about vagina, Yeah, as long as it's factual, okay.
(02:46):
Because there is on goop dot com there is this
Smells Like My Vagina candle for seventy five dollars, which
I think is a little deer for a candle, especially
one that has been uh been what mass produced? Mass
produced is it's still so selling. But then there's also
this Smells Like My Vagina Votive candle, which is a
(03:09):
little spiritual candle just in case you get just a whiff.
I mean, are they sold out? Yeah, that's the question.
I think these are probably just you know, novelty. Give
what a great novelty? Yeah? And I hate to be
a cynic here, but I think they're just really smart marketing,
really yeah market There is hands off my Vagina candle,
which don't oh, I think that's might be like connected
(03:31):
to you know, the latest female empowerment movements. Hands Off
my vaginic can also seventy five dollars. Yeah, I just yeah,
I think quirky STERI is right. I think these are
more of like a quirky marketing campaign. Yeah, the fact
of it was just if it just was like a
jasmine candle from Gwyneth Paltrow, nobody would care to cut
(03:52):
through the noise. Yeah, can you mint such as an
n f T in that regard? Do people still meant
n f T s h? Well, there's one that I
used to know of called balls like Jagger. I think
it's probably the closest. Yeah, that's very similar to Gwyneth's candle,
Balls like Dagger. Yeah, I mean, do you want to
be I mean, this is sort of annoying, bet, but
do you want us to bet? Let's say, if it's annoying,
(04:15):
I don't want to do it pleasant. Yeah. Yeah, let's
not fight today. I know, and I know already you
know already Quirkies has mentioned no b LJ, so she
hopes that there's no fights, like as if somehow BLJ
pacifies you. Well, I think he um, somehow UM triggers
(04:36):
something in all of us. He's sort of like the
sand in the oyster, and he's he's or he texted
us earlier. He's like guys can we do the podcast
on Thanksgiving because I'm going to Harris. That's what he
said in the text. It's like, no, I'm not doing
the podcast on Thanksgiving. I'm gonna be eating and relaxing
with my family and loved ones. Well, he's either the
(04:58):
sand in the oyster or the turd in the punch bowl.
We're not sure. Now go along with your bed quirkies.
Um if we um, you know, just put a candle
on eBay. It's just a normal candle, but we branded
it falls like Jagger. How much do you think with
file bit would be? I think we're gonna need some
(05:19):
good keywords, generate some interest in it. I'm not an
eBay expert. I find that I actually I'm bad at it.
But I think we'll get up through like five dollars.
I have to five dollars. There's a lot of things
people will buy for five dollars. What do you think
quirky's here, Steven, I just said what I thought. Okay,
(05:41):
here's our erasisting condition. This smells like Winneth Vagina scented
candle right now on eBay. The first link. How much
do you think it costs the first link that you're saying,
right now, first one click I clear, I click uh
one of the Paltrow vagina candle and I click on it,
and the first offer that I see presented to me
(06:03):
is it used and over under on a new, unburned
Gwyneth Paltrow vagina candle and my vagina. Right, yeah, there's
nine available with sold. Can buy it now for this price.
I'm gonna say fifty two, and I will say that
sale benefits charity. Yeah, that's what they say. Well, they
(06:26):
say say, yeah, Well, I mean that's the same with goop,
heretic or whatever. Group times You're already okay, doctors without border.
This is the seller of this goop on eBay x
m R s A g X eight three items sold. Okay,
it was like an unknown all right. Well, I say
(06:48):
seller has a positive feedback for them. I love hearing that.
I'm gonna say fifty two. I don't know, you know,
I'm just gonna say it for one scented candle. This
smells like win Gina. The price on eBay right now
thirty five dollars. Whoa. That was a great but I'm
sorry to say it's especially great because you both lose.
(07:12):
We had fun over here. Well, yeah, well guess what,
um lute, it's already showing the uh like the abrasive.
I thought we were having a careful What do you
want to sing? Christmas carols? All the money? That's very good.
We're here to make friendly wagers on current events that's
(07:34):
dictated by the missive that is due to arrive at
any moment. Do we have any old bets to talk about?
Why don't we do that? Yeah? Do you want to
talk about the bet that we made that Elon Musk
was going to bring vine back? Alright, alright, let's go back.
Let's go back. Let's take it a step back to
this eBay bet okay. I think he presented this under
(07:57):
false pretenses. So is it? Was it? Not the by
it now? Like that? Starting, I think it's like bootleg
because it's it's not a goop candle. It's a good candle.
What the p is upside down? It's as good, it's
(08:18):
not goop. And then it's this smells like Gwyneth's vagina,
just like a catfished bootleg. Cancelist that but I think
that's around. I don't know if it's cancelation, but I
just don't think you presented the information. Yeah, this should
be a cancelation. It's just like a bootleg of a
(08:40):
vagina candle. Yeah, okay, no wonder it was so cheap.
That's not even cheap. I mean for compared to the
next one on the list, which is a lot more.
Because the other candles, which I don't yeah, I don't
know why they're that expensive, but this one is this
this one said this smells like my vagina large but
(09:02):
that that's the official one, goop, that's no. But in
the website it's like, well, hey, loo can people not
thinking about the website alright, So it ended up being
a friendly bet. After all, we all went, do we
need to look at our numbers with forty dollars loot
bag for adventurers with a hundred and thirty dollars quirkies
(09:26):
three or seven and two hundred forty dollars quirk and
then also balls like Jagger has eighty dollars. Guy, it
would be fun if we conspired the three of us
to just kind of take ten dollars for each of
us out of his stash. Yeah, like monopolises, let's do that.
(09:47):
When he comes back, he's like, what we'll tell me
has fifty dollars when he comes back and only will know. Yeah, yeah,
let's cheat him, all right, that sounds good, all right,
Quirky's on board with that. Um yeah, why not. I
mean he's like enjoying a zero paris, I mean zero four.
(10:11):
And that's an amendment where we each get ten of
his dollars. Yeah, maybe we make up a rule that
if you miss the show. Oh yeah, you're fine. Yeah, okay,
that's good now, it's not even we're stealing and are fine. Yeah,
because he just leaves his money out when he leaves
the studio. He leaves it on the tables, like leaving
ham on the counter at home viewer male high loot.
(10:33):
Dead and Company are announcing that their final tours this summer.
I want to know if you think that there will
be another iteration of the Dead with the remaining members
who still want the tour and who will replace Jerry
again love the show Crackmaster's act. Um, I will bet
on one thing, So the Grateful Dead say that this
is their last tour. I will bet you not the
Grateful Dead. Let's just to polish a fine point. Okay,
(10:56):
it's Jerry and Company. It's Dead in company Dead In Company. Okay,
I have my opinions. So Dennant companies say that it's
this is going will be their final tour. I say no,
they will go on tour again. Wow big Yeah. Now,
how many of the company of the original Dead isn't
(11:18):
Dead End Company three three? Well that's still that's quite
a bit. That's a majority. That's more than guns and roses. Yeah. Yeah, alright,
So you're saying, yes, they are going to tour. Yeah,
Because here's the thing. Motley Crew, thinking around twenty six,
said that, oh, this will be our last tour. We
all have different in trist we're going in different ways,
(11:39):
blah blah blah blah blah. And they don't. I don't
think there are fan bases even as dedicated as the Dead.
I mean the Dead they have such a great fan base.
Not only are they dedicated, but they're all at an
age where they have so much disposable income. It's like
a Venn diagram of those things. Yeah, perfect storm. Yeah,
but you know, Molly Crew, like they're like fan base
(12:01):
isn't as like um affluent or dedicated as the Dead.
They spent too much time chasing parties and stuff instead
of like going internally instead of being in like San
Francisco working in the tech industry. Yeah exactly so, but
you know, but where do they work? Where do Molly
Crew fans live and work? Do you think like Boca Raton?
(12:23):
I mean they got a bar in Boca Ratton. Yeah exactly.
But like you know, what I'm saying is Molly Crewe
like after they said went on their final tour in seventeen,
They're going on another tour in three, you know, and
they've replaced like the ailing guitars with a different guitars. Right,
Oh wait, who's ailing? I think Mickey, Mick whatever, Mars mcmarcy,
(12:44):
I think, yeah, it wasn't he much. Wasn't he like
in his fifties when Motley Crew started? Yeah? Well I
think he got younger. Yeah, a great rock and roll name,
Mick Mars Mars. I wonder if he's part of the
Mars family. Yeah, Quirky three or seven your take? I
agree with everything the quirk said, and I'm stepping out
(13:06):
of the equation. I feel like I'm too close to it.
Wo oh. I want to ask you are you going
to that tour? Yes? How much are you willing to
pay for it. I'm going to Boulder, Colorado for three
nights at a cost of seven I mean a lot,
(13:31):
a little, I mean, considering the show is really long.
Uh yeah, I mean it all honesty. I think you're
dead and company. Don't hire data scientists to like, um,
like to sit there or ticket prices because I kind
of feel that with how much disposable income, like they're
um the cohorts, the dead cohorts have, they could charge more.
(13:52):
All right, Well, thank you, crap master Zach. I really
appreciate the letter to my heart prop culture at gmail
dot com or I love culture dot com. I think
we all appreciate, uh your input and your guidance. Oh
hold on, okay, okay, oh speech the missives here, dear
(14:22):
loot bag and the rest. Existence continues to be a
gamble here. Today's topics Commerce and spirituality, wality, Reality. Did
you guys go Christmas shopping on Black Friday? No, everybody's
very excited because Black Friday sales are way up. That's good.
Are you excited by that? It makes me, uh, you know,
(14:43):
a little less afraid of future? I guess yeah, a
little bit. Are you afraid about the Black Friday sales? Either?
Too or either not high enough. I think that's scary.
I didn't too high, like that's bad. No, I didn't
lose any sleep either way. I just, you know, I
just want the economy to be good so that I
could live my life of luxury. What if I told
you Black Friday sales raked in a record nine point
(15:05):
one two billion from online shoppers. Yeah, are you shipping me?
That's great news? Why? But here's the thing though, I think,
as we've been told that if it doesn't happen, it's
not great. I mean, here's the thing though, I do
think that a lot of corporations are kind of in
a way thankful for inflation because you know, the record sales.
(15:29):
I think figures might you know, be inflated because of inflation.
And I think for a lot of corporations they can
hit their so called sales targets because of inflation. You know,
if your sales target was like one billion, it's easier
to like, you know, targeted, even if you're not as
selling as many products because of inflation. Well, I have
(15:49):
a prexisting condition based on exactly what you're talking about.
On Black Friday, Walmart dot com had a headline when
you click on it, something would come up on your
screen and it was a headline. Wow, it was a
two word headline, a headline on Walmart dot com. Look
at Walmart dot com and it pops up and it
says black Friday. And then there's a I'm sorry a slogan,
(16:10):
not a headline slogan. Okay, slogan, walmart dot COM's Black
Friday slogan. Antiflation. Antiflation. Very interesting, very good? All right,
how about you? Big deals, big deals, big deals. Wow,
Walmart dot coms Black Friday slogan? Is it's um? What? Yeah? No, yeah,
(16:35):
it must have been like there must have been like
several email campaigns, because what I know about digital marketing
is that there are different emails for different kinds of customers.
I couldn't believe it. I'm sure it's not. It's on
now it's um. You have a screen grab or me
update this because I think it might have been like
a particular email targeted like females or something, because these days,
(16:59):
eat don't like go with just one slogan. You know,
they're definitely I mean maybe for the on you were saying,
it's um. You were saying because I thought maybe you're
talking about yoga pants. That's what I thought. I thought
it was. It's um, but it's it's on. Yeah, okay,
so this is another I read it wrong. It's on
(17:22):
because home is like a spiritual thing, and you know,
Walmart isn't really like a spiritual kind of company either
more I do just I mean, I've been in a
Walmart recently and it's it's very decadent. And it's not
even decadent. I mean I could see Target doing this
same going. It's because I would say Target a little
bit more spiritual. Yeah, Like I could see like Target
(17:45):
like trying to pack itself as more spiritual to its demographic.
But I don't think Walmart's demographic really cares for a year.
If you had a year to live by yourself and
Target or Walmart just by yourself for a whole year
January one to December thirty one, which would you pick? Target? Walmart? Really?
(18:07):
Target by far? Target hugely. Target feels like communism, like
Walmart I think is vaster, right, Yeah, it is, and
it but it's it's so apart and Target after like
February and to like the Target, the fact that like
so many females have a near um religious attitude store.
(18:27):
That store and they just buy all the same products
and they all religious attitude towards target. It's um. But
I haven't question what's the next missive? Well, the missive
is not a betan. Yeah you want to move on,
is what you? Yeah? I'm saying. Yeah, we talked about Walmarts.
It's on, you know, which I thought was very don't look,
(18:50):
you don't Number one, you don't need to rush this.
We're having a good time. Why do you want to
rush the conversation? Would you do the same thing at
Thanksgiving dinner? Yes? I could say, By the way, what's
the next topic we're gonna talk about? Yeah, I'm in
more of a jam band podcast than like a CNN podcast,
you know what I mean? Which, by the way, Lute
is Boulder. So is every dead um event held in Boulder, Colorado?
(19:13):
Come on? You know? Yes? Yes? Mr Beast style stunts.
Have you seen the films of Mr Beast? No? What
do you know about Mr Beast? He's a YouTube guy.
(19:33):
There was a post that went up, I love the
incoherent excess of Mr Beast. He would go off to
people and he'd say, will you go get a baguette
for me in Japan for a hundred dollars, and then
it looks like he just gives them money to go
do these things. Yeah, tell you what, I thought it
was damn interesting and I watched the whole thing. Well,
I mean, yeah, it's right up your alley. I mean
(19:54):
you like you love, like, you know, telling people to
do these weird things for money or yeah I do yea.
His main channel, Mr Beast is the fourth most subscribed
on the platform, and the highest by any individual. Yeah.
I mean that's impressive because I think the number one
subscribed channel YouTube is actually Coco Melan, which is a
(20:15):
channel for like kids. Yeah, well I will say too,
there's another preschool focus channel, Ryan's World, and Ryan's World
they walked through the toy aisle. It's Harget and this
is probably about two years ago. But Ryan's World had
a bigger setup than Star Wars. But I will say
(20:37):
Ryan's World star has fallen a little bit because now
it's just like a shelf. Yeah, I mean, I think
the thing about YouTubers is that, um, you have to
be young and you kind of have to like um
grow um not weird because interestingly, um, Mr Beast of
Lotus first YouTube video in February at the age of thirteen,
(20:59):
so he's like a teenage star was made. It has
become successful. This most recent popular video is he last
to take hand off jet keeps it. I'm sorry you're
have to say that in English. Yeah, it's so dumb.
Mr Beasts last video was last to take off take
(21:19):
hand off jet keeps it? So he had a bunch
of people put hands on a jet and the last
person to take his hand off this jet. It's like
a classic like radio contest. Yeah, but but it has
six sixty million few Maybe we can do a Mr.
Beast style and three comments. I know what to do?
(21:43):
You guys want to do this? This is going to
fundamentally change prop culture. I'm not sure if if I
should spill the beans. I don't know if I'm ready
for a fundamental change. I bought a nose hair trimmer.
See my nose hair. I don't want to see them
like he's already had inviting you if you want, if
you'd like to see them, I don't see them. Probably
(22:06):
the nose hair, but a nose hair trimmer. What if
I were to unpack this nose hair trimmer and I'll
give you all the specs when I bought it, where
I bought it, where it's from, what kind of batteries
it takes, is a recharge of all those things. I
would like to put new batteries in it, turn it
on and film it. But before we do, we find
(22:28):
out from everyone listening how long is this thing going
to run for? And I will, and we'll do this
on YouTube live and it'll be the grand extravaganza of
the prop culture explosion onto multiple platforms. Okay, and it'll
(22:48):
be by the end of this year. Yeah, we can
do it as soon as possible. If you guys are
into it, of course, I want you to tell me
what you think of the idea. Are we commending this
whole time? Yeah? I think we'll be talking about how,
oh it's starting to wind down, a we's starting to
pick up again. Maybe a holiday extravaganza. Maybe that's how
(23:09):
we'll celebrate the holidays here. Yeah. Well, I'm all for
this because it's a better idea than Mr Beast, who's
one of his most popular videos is I gave my
one million subscriber int Island and that's has eighty three
million views. Well, we don't have an island yet and
this you know, and we also we should preface this
by saying that it's not a rip off of Mr Beast.
(23:33):
I don't love Mr beasts similar genre. It's a similar
genre to what Mr Beast does and to like. He
also has this video that has two or nine million views,
has says I spent fifty hours breed alive. Oh my gosh.
It's also a flesh and blood human and we're digital manifestations. Yeah, cool,
(24:02):
salary chick cony. Did you see Madonna's picture at Thanksgiving?
It was? It was They said it was rare. It
was a rare picture. Madonna's Thanksgiving picture. Don't look at it?
Oh why not, because we're gonna talk about the names
of her kids. Don't look? Okay, Okay, it's with her family. Yeah,
(24:23):
come on, I looked at the photo. But know how
many kids are in the photo? Six? Wow? Six? Do
you know their names? Don't? Look? I mean I know
two of their names? Rasisting condition. How many of Madonna's kids?
Can you name? Awards? Lords? Right? Lords? And then Rocco
and Rocco the rest? I don't know, but I'm gonna
(24:50):
say one of you needs to name one more of
Madonna's kids. Marie Marie, Marie Madonna. Name the kid Madonna? No,
I think isn't her real first name Maria or something?
And I think I think her Madonna is her real name.
Why don't the kids have one names? Oh? Yeah, her
(25:12):
real name is Madonna. Your real name is Madonna? Name?
What are the kids last names? Lord Rock Rocco must
be Rocco. Last name is Rocco, Ritchie Rocco Ritchie from
Richie Richie. I think just a Ratley's ten points for all,
like my wolog to be honest, you said, how about two?
(25:32):
And then she got too immediately. Yeah, I think I
don't get any points because I didn't know them. Whoever
names one other Madonna child wins? I'm going to say Maria.
That was I kind of intuitied this Taylor maybe like Taylor,
I mean the other four kids, the other four kids
she like adopted because she was going through a mental crisis.
(25:54):
Like it's right. But their names, so you think their
names might be erratic? Yeah? I mean, yeah, their their
names are going me radic because she is Celery, Celery Chaya.
I would say maybe Taylor, like that's yeah, But I
think radic. She's very Uh No, she I mean no,
(26:17):
she adopted them like out of she adopted them like
when she was like sixty years old, just because she
just felt some sort of need to look traffic light.
Traffic light. Jackni, you're going with Taylor and you're what
are you going with? Maria? But I just reflect to
like at least ten points for like getting okay points
(26:41):
Todays Lord's Rocko, David Mursy, Mercy really Esther and Stell Huh.
The youngest kids are DJs too, and they're DJs. It's
(27:03):
almost like knowing how to play an instrument boom strike
a pose moneyou. So we talk about Ellen Degenerous and
(27:24):
monte Cito a lot lately, and turns out Ellen Degenerous
has a real estate hobby. Good things come in small packages,
proclaims the listening for Ellen de Generous is charming cottage,
the coveted hedgerowd district of monte Cito, currently on the
market for just over five point eight million, and in
this case, the old adage proves very true. Built in
(27:46):
nift and spanning barely scufee, the fully renovated precraftsman home
welcomes visitors with its crimson front door. Inside um the
casually luxe and terry sport a mixed original built ins
in contemporary finishes. And here's a pre existing condition. Let's
talk about this because you just said a bunch of words.
(28:07):
I don't know anything about this home. Okay, you read
it from a thing really quickly. I couldn't even understand
a single thing you're talking about because you're reading some
journalists spewed bullshit. Is this a nice house or not?
It's a nice house. It's it's the prices five million,
you know, and it's in Monte Sito, all right, but
like is it like Gatti or is it like stylish? Um,
(28:31):
it's just like a yeah, it's it's just a regular cottage.
It's just a regular cottage. Yeah, it looks it looks nice.
Look at it. They look at it, guys. It looks nice.
And my preexisting cushion attention is very simple. So this
is not I'll give you hit. This is not Ellen's
first house on the market. So like, if this house
(28:54):
sells in a few weeks, like what what nth house
will this be? What do you end? What does that mean?
And like, yes, so you know, it's like, what number
house will this be? What number house will see you
that she's owned that you know that she's like flipping
and selling and how long of a time this year?
(29:15):
This year, I'll say third, Okay, good, guess what's your guests? Luke, Oh,
I know this eighth? Wow? Wow, I thought it was
the third. Did you already look it up? Me? Yeah,
(29:36):
because you actually got it right. Eighth house that she
sold this year. Well, it's her eighth house in the market, Like, yeah,
like that now, I swear I didn't look it up.
She's a slumb lord. She's a Montecito slum lord. Why
does she have so many houses when other people are homeless?
I mean she is, like I didn't realize it, but
(29:58):
she is a professional, like real estate person Ellen de Generous. Yeah.
So when uh, you know, when there's a like a
report that, oh Ellen generous former house sells for blah
blah blah blah, it's not a big deal because she
like goes through like at least ten houses per year.
(30:22):
