Speaker 1 (00:06):
You'rena listen to prop culture. Hello, this is loot Bag
from Lute for Adventurers. I'm an n f T along
with my co n f T s Quirky. Hello Quirkies
three oh seven. You know proper culture and falls like Jagger,
not his balls, Balls like Jagger. It's a name, but
(00:27):
it is a picture of a lot of people will
call it a moose knuckle. But sometimes if it's really defined,
people would say that's the bussy. Is the pussy made
by the balls? Real quick question sidebar to Quirkies three
oh seven, wish you guys would wear a name tax?
Can you turn balls like Jagger down? In my ears?
(00:48):
He's got he's gotta just turn his game down. I
mean his voice like two times anyone else? Okay, sorry,
how about that? That's too low? How about that? Okay? Yeah,
calls His voice is from deep down his gut. You know,
he could have been a great opera singer on the balls,
just deep down from his ball. That all the digital noise.
(01:10):
I'm like, oh something balls? Yeah about do you guys
know this one? Um? It goes a little something like this.
My eyes have seen the coming of the glory of
the Lord. He was smiling on the fields from which
the bolish Men were shorn. Then the dialing of the
(01:34):
numbers became the dollars in the field. His truth goes much.
It sucked. It's not a style I like, but I
was just trying it out. Now at the end there
you kind of get nutty. Is that is that dramatic
to be comical or to be hit a note? Or
(01:55):
I just just trying to remember the words. Your voice
sounded really shaky the whole time. It was very pitchy. Well,
I hadn't warmed up. I was just going forward his casual,
which is a style you're not going to Hollywood. I mean,
it's the music industry. Even in Hollywood these days, it's
all seems like it's a name Memphis. Yeah, real quick,
now that you're warmed up, I was going to ask
(02:15):
you if you could sing our email addresses to the
to the listeners. No, I heard prop culture at gmail
dot com or I love prop culture at gmail dot com.
Either one of those will work. We're here to make
friendly wagers on current events as dictated by the missive
that is due to arrive any moment. Any old bets
(02:36):
we need to get to. Yes, Oh, yeah, I think
I want a bet. Actually, oh my god, here, remember
we made a bet about which Glee star will get
into trouble or Glee associated person would get into trouble. Yes,
have you heard about a new Jeffrey Dahmers show on Netflix.
One of the Glee stars is Jeffrey Dahmer. No, Like,
(02:58):
do you know who the creator of that show is?
Not a creator, but the c of the show, owner
of this show, of this show. It's got to be
the American horror story guy. Yeah, Ryan Murphy. Yeah. I
predicted that Ryan Murphy would get into trouble soon, and
he has because everybody's angry at him for not consulting
with the victims for the new Jeffrey Dahmer. Oh interesting,
(03:21):
So Quirkies you win. Yeah. One near post has a
story that came out three hours ago. The real Jeffrey Dahmer.
What Ryan Murphy and Netflix got wrong. So with that,
Quirky takes the lead with a hundred and seventy dollars.
I'm breaking it as your high score. I think it's
all your serial killer money. Well, anyway, we're all part
(03:43):
of the same damn thing, just spinning and working together.
So let's say we opened the missive zip dear Lubeck,
and the rest existence continues to be a gamble. Here
today's topics the crystal flute. Were you offended by Lizzo
(04:04):
playing the crystal flute? I don't know enough about the
crystal flute. It reminds me of the crystal skull. I
was just gonna say, I believe it's like, isn't it
Mayan Aliens who invented the flute? I mean, I didn't
even know that James Madison had a foot, you know.
I knew that his wife is kind of hot. Wait now, okay,
who is James Madison. He's one of the founding fathers. Like,
(04:27):
he started daily COEs and his wife is hot. Yeah,
and he was like I think he was known to
have a hot wife for that era, dolly. Okay, that's
the part that threw me off. I did know that
James Madison was a founding father, but when he said
he was hot his wife was hot? Excuse me when
you said his wife was hot? And I was like,
that's not a founding father. But okay, he's also the
fourth president hottest founding father, hot wife. The hottest founding
(04:51):
father is um part freely. What's his name, Ben Franklin
Art Freely. I bet that flute stank. Yeah, imagine two
year old saliva accumulations. Hopefully, they put it an air
conditioned room in it and it dried, so the flute
came out of I think it's from the Library of Congress.
(05:14):
But the Library of Congress approved all this, Lizzo asked,
and they said okay. But they did send along Capital
Police and several other staffers. Besides the flute, Lizzo played
nine Library of Congress artifacts you didn't know existed. Oh, yes,
this is fun. This This is just like that movie
Vampire's Kiss, Lords of Dogtown. What am I thinking of
(05:37):
National Treasure? National Treasure? Yes, what sounds like such a
boring place, right, The Library of Congress sounds like a
big library full of cool things? Or so they say.
What's the source of this list? Texas Monthly. Okay, it's
gonna be good, my favorite magazine. This is a big
(05:57):
deal for the Library of Congress, and they're putting all
the other cool things that they have at the Library
of Congress. We'll decide if any of these are cool.
I don't think any of them are cool or interesting.
The most press Library of Congress has gone in years. Yes,
the very first mass produced Christmas card from Britain in
eighteen forty three Hallmark Empire Lane, very Lane lithograph of
(06:23):
French balloonist Marie Madeleine Sophie Armand Blanchard from eighteen eleven,
which proves that women have always belonged in balloons, Lane,
I mean, I mean number one. Why is her name
so long? It's like, can't like it's a whole sentence.
I love. I don't know. I'm a big fan of
Marie Blanchard Ballona. What's her name again? Oh no, but
(06:45):
I don't know. I don't know. It's like it should
just be like, oh yeah, a woman's in a balloon,
you know, you don't have to prove that a woman
or a photograph of bodybuilder Jeane Jensen and family, in
which eleven month old Kent Jensen appears to be doing
a chin up. Should Library Congress is run by hoarders? Like,
I have no idea who these people are. Wait, Marie
(07:07):
Blanchard died in their balloon. Oh wow, So apparently women
don't belong in balloon. Almost as impressive as the Library
of Congress flute collection. Is it's archive of famous human hair? Yeah,
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, President Rutherford behayes his wife. So
(07:29):
is this like hair hair or pubic hair? It's probably
his head hair. I don't think they're gonna put their pens. Yeah,
only the bald presidents. They put their pubes in the
Library Condress in James Madison gave a locket with a
portrait of himself to a young woman as a token
of love and attached this rated lock of hits hair
to the back with James Madison. That won't that's right,
(07:51):
that's right. I wonder if the woman was his wife
or was he just getting mistress? What do they call it? Nookie? Yeah?
Ork of it as a mistress. It was common back
then to have a mistress. The beat that I'm thinking
about is, well, the Library of Congress. Get any traction
from this beyond the flute? Do you think people will
(08:12):
finally pay their overdue fine? I've had uh, I've had
Andrew Garfield's snuff bag of uh uh it's it say,
come on afraid okay of his krusty mustache, and it's
in a snuff bag that I can wear like a
Fannie pack around my arm and that's the guy that
(08:35):
plays Spider Man. Library of Congress is has hit a wall.
This is their big moment, and they're failing to keep
anybody interested in the Library of Congress Beyond the flute,
that's what that's my bat, that's my butt. I go
with flutes, bet, I go with lutes. Bet. But now
you know people are pissed that Lizzo is playing the
flute because they respect the Library of Congress or do
(08:56):
they just not like Lizzo. They don't like Lizzo. She
curses sometimes in her I don't know me say I'm
a bit, I'm a savage. Take the crystal flute and
I'll steal it like she already wrapped. It doesn't make
sense of the American sense. But I can understand if
like this happened in an Asian country, where you know,
they have certain norms, traditions and manners. You have to
(09:18):
and I'm gonna come back. I'm gonna say I'm gonna
ship on the fucking Japanese right now. I went to
a Taycho drumming presentation and they just hit drums for
they had like three different types of drums hit them
for an hour and a half. Then this guy went
out and played a flute while some woman in an
outfit slowly walked around. And sure, maybe it's not up
to their cultural snuff to like not wear a suit,
(09:41):
but if they were playing that and working and being
in a library, I would have been way more interested.
I was saying one point for Lizo minus one for
the Japanese. Or maybe, um, let's say a better example
will be when we went to an orchestra in Austria,
like they got angry at us for not wearing a jacket. Yeah,
so I just feel that, you know, in the classical setting,
(10:02):
since that the flute is a classical instrument in a
classical setting, Um, sorry, Like classical people expect certain rituals
from the players and the audience alike, and when you
break those rules, I think they get really bad. How
did the anger manifest itself? I borrowed a jacket and
I wore that from who from them? They had a
(10:22):
jacket that they gave me, oh man, and it's stunk. Yeah.
So I'm gonna say that's like an example of how giant, realistic,
ritualistic classical people are. And they are like a lot
of dudes and don't in that world. And you know,
since the food is like a very classical instrument, I
could see classical music people getting well. I think politeness
and manners is a way for parents to abuse children.
(10:45):
That's all it is. It's a way to have Watching
the video of her playing the flute and she is
shaking her booty fast, that's awesome. Imagine the skill it dates.
But she's like quirkies. You can barely like she's trilling
the flu as she's working her butt. So it is
kind of a choreograph maneuver. It's not it's impressive. Yeah,
(11:05):
it's kind of show off. The only reason I'm insulted,
I'm sure. I think she's just showing off. Oh she's
got friends at the Library of Congress, blah blah blah.
But I don't think, yeah, the Library Congress will get
any more traction out of the food, you know, And well,
what what's what what does traction mean? Do you look
bag controversy? I think, well, I think that, um, we're
not going to hear from the Library of Congress again
(11:27):
for the next um decade. You don't think that to
try and save his career, um, Adam Levine is going
to go and make a I'm sorry babe message out
of hair, or even better, make a market out of
the old process here, and that will make people angry. Yeah,
he could step up and play a crystal saxophone solo forever. Yes,
(11:49):
crystal saxophone. How many instruments can you make out a crystal?
You can make a recorder, you can make it harmonica. Probably,
maybe can even make a crystal piano. A lot of things,
I think, Yeah, allow up steel. Did Al Franken Al
Franklin have a spinning glass harmonica? Then Franklin frank a
(12:10):
glass harmonica? Oh, I'm sorry it was harmonica, not a harmonica,
an armmonica? Harmonica? Yeah? Have you ever seen in harmonica? Oh? Nice?
We have a consensus on the Library of Congress. Yeah. Yeah.
Lame urban sprawl. Guests who just bought a house in
(12:38):
l a Oh, Thomas Middle Ditch. No, Jackie Siegel, No,
my favorite celeb Larry David. Oh. I thought you were
going to do a pre existing condition. Now my pre
existing becauseition is this? Who is your So I'll give
you and to Arieta Grande just sold a house from
this neighborhood and Larry David just bought to how it
(13:00):
passed from this neighborhood, which l a neighborhood is this,
But Larry David did not buy aria Grande's house. No, No,
it's a different house, and it's different in the same neighborhood.
Hold on, we had a whiteboard to chalk out this bet.
Give it to me again. Which neighborhood did Larry David
by his house in Los Angeles. It's a new house,
(13:21):
and Ariana Grande just recently moved out of the neighborhood.
Ten too many Mars six Hills five four three two
one Westwood. No, it's also a place where Harry, uh,
(13:42):
Prince Harry and began Mark I think lived to. It's
Monte Cito, California, Mona Cito, Angeles. It's not. It's not
Los Angeles. It's nearby Los Angeles. It's Santa Barbara County.
Excuse me that that is void. Yeah, we're avoiding this
pre existing Monte Sito. Yeah, it's like, god damn it.
(14:05):
You know, actually just a California penalty. You said it
was a Los Angeles name. Yeah. You hey, you just
like hey, hey, like lude that's unfair. You've made a
lot of that, like never made one mistake. Okay, no,
he's made many mistakes. You know. It's farther out than Oxnard.
It's right, like, hey, it's like only an hour away.
(14:26):
You have a ten dollar penalty for for that. No, no, no,
that's I'm doing well. He hold on, Hey what what
neighborhood in l a dode this good a house and
recently yeah it was Oakland, Oakland. Hey, you've made terrible
like pre existing conditions. It's pre existing condition number one,
(14:50):
pre existing condition. How many miles is it from Montes
not to Zito Monta Sito Montecito so the Chinese theater
in Hollywood? I think that. I think Montecito is Spanish
for little mounds, some neighborhood. You just said it's one
(15:12):
hour away a d twenty miles. Well, you know like
people dry fast over there. Eight it's for everybody, for
everybody have uh fifty six miles. I'm sorry, everybody owes
me ten dollars five point five miles via US one
(15:35):
oh one north. You got to give it, Lute was
pretty close. It was pretty close. P C O two
six is void. P c O two So I did
my pre existing condition last, because I'm about to burp.
You do it how you did I did it? So
there's like a scale because you can't guess what guess.
(15:57):
That's why you're down to falls. He also did not
lose any money from that that I remember that. You
have a recording of it, like ever recording of it too. Yeah,
you did not. Culture, they've got a pre existing condition.
Oh excellent. What has Putin declared holy war on the
West about? This has not to do that. It's pop culture.
(16:21):
This is the popular culture. We live in a world
of war violence and culture war and culture violence. Nine.
The question again, what is he He's declared holy war
on the West, saying the West is moving towards blank one. Three, degeneracy, five,
(16:44):
it's only one thing. Seven in the West, Marvel movie, fascism,
ugly ugly chicks, Satanisms ship, which is a pop culture thing,
but stranger things. Let's move on satanism. Guys. It's October.
(17:05):
It's October. It's the Devil's month. Right? Is American culture
becoming satanic in the pop culture that we see? I mean,
I don't think you should talk about this, balls because
you're not a particularly religious person. Okay, you're not even
a person, yeah, or you're not even a religious and yeah,
(17:26):
so I don't think you're and I don't think we
should talk about because none of us are really religious.
I'm spiritual though. Are we all citizens of this culture?
Though we can say as digital citizens whether or not
we are satanic? I think satan civil civil Satanism. You're
saying it's aside from religious Satanism, saying civil it's the
(17:49):
things we're doing as a culture are satanic because, as
Quirky said, we are degenerate. Well, now, as Quirky's was
saying that, Vladimir and said that about the West, Lawrence
puton same as so boring, Like, well, can we can
we talk about the satanic influence of Halloween in October?
(18:10):
Thank you? Oh gosh, I mean, isn't like Halloween's gonna
be the biggest Halloween costume this year? Jeffrey Dahmer, Oh wow,
I think I don't think I was talking about a week.
I think this is the end of it. No, Americans
love serial killers. Come on, come on, Americans are upset.
I think we're definitely going to see Pearl slash X.
(18:33):
What's Pearl? It's that that new series of horror movies.
One of the Golden Girls, got One of the Golden
Janis Choplin. It's It's it's these horror movies that are
becoming quite popular where Mia Goth plays a female serial killer.
The first movie was in the seventies, and then she
plays both the Old Lady and of one of the victims.
(18:55):
Is they're supposed to be emotional parallels between them both
being young and pretty, but then they grow old and
get jealous. And then the next one that's just come
out is about the prequel of the Old Lady as
a young woman played by the same woman. You know,
I do think there's going to be a very hot
couple's costume this year. Marjorie Taylor Green in her workout Instructor.
(19:19):
That's a good one. That's a good one. I think
people could go as Adam Levine's text messages, Oh yeah,
that's what I'm saying, your body is unreal or whatever.
I can't understand the geometry of your tits. Is that what?
That's what he should have said. But yeah, my bets
on the Jeffrey Dahmer think because Jeffrey Dahmer costumes, because
oh gosh, yeah, that's what people are watching on net one.
(19:41):
How about people? Maybe someone will go as Dom and
Damer that's funny, that's good. What about Lizzo and James Madison.
I don't know they are fighting over the flute. That
would be a good couple's costumes. Would you guys do that? Na?
I think it will be problem Lizzo. I think this
year I'm going to go as a resident of Montecito.
(20:05):
But you'll be so you don't end up to the
party because you live too far away. Where do you
guys listen to this week new music? I've listened to
the new Glitterer EP, high Viz. I just put in
at an album this weekend that's really freaking good. Yeah, Yeah,
(20:28):
yeahs or Out, Freddie Gibbs, Slipknot. What are you listen
to these days, quirkies? I'm listening to um just Korean
indie music. What means if do you listen to balls?
I'm listening to a little Uh. Let me see what
(20:49):
I've listened to lately, probably Earth Wind and Fire, Milton Nacimento,
hilum Ergia. You listen to Randy says hard to say specifically,
I love l A and the funny thing about the
song I Love l a is he specifically says about
deceitos not in Nilo all I listened to all day
(21:10):
and all night and in my dreams it's Ice Spice Spice.
Yeah you listen, nice Spice. Aren't you don't see the
lady with the abortion song munch feeling feeling you much song?
Am I thinking of? I don't know that much feeling you? Oh? Wow?
(21:31):
Is Ice Spice gonna break out? I don't know. There's
a lot of complaints because she she's like play like
she had a concert but didn't have like any songs
to play right her song her big hit songs like
a minute and a half long, ten million views on munch.
But that's her own website, munch dot com, right. I
like this video. That's cool. Look at her buns. Come on,
(21:54):
what I'm talking about that she's a real person. She
kind of like a digital avatar my opinion. Yeah, listen,
I'm telling you she's about to She's about to explode.
So will that be your next? But we'll I Spice

me onto these new tunes. Yeah, I love music videos.
I can watch you on mute and still have fun. Um.
So will I Spice be on the Billboard Top twenty
or is she already in the Billboard Top twenty? I
don't know that's you know, how do we judge things culturally?
(22:38):
Will she? Will she pop up on an ad? Well?
We could she be on TV on a talk show? Now?
The best way to judge success culturally these days Spotify
Spotify monthly listeners. Okay, now, let's do a pre existing
condition and it's going to be I'm going to set
(22:59):
rules here closest without going over. Thank you, Thank you, bitch,
and we're gonna set a quick thank you calibration. Okay,
you bitch, let's quickly calibrate your expectations. Okay, for no nanigans.
This is just straight aspire and I'm appreciating quirky. Give
(23:20):
me an artist, and I will tell you how many
monthly listeners there are to calibrate. Doja cat, doja cat? Okay,
fifty five million monthly listeners. How do you find this out?
In case one of us, it's right on Spotify, right
under their name and Spotify, Luke, give me an artist,
calibrate cat Stevens cats Stevens. Now, I'm gonna be searching
(23:43):
for use of slash cat Stevens. Okay, forgot he converted
to long years. Yes, is the use of slash cat Stevens.
Seven million monthly listeners and then balls give me an
artist DOMI and j D Beckmy and j D Beck? Right? Uh,
six hundred and twenty two tho now, but that means
(24:04):
it's like cool because less people pre existing conditions? How
many monthly listeners? Does Ice Spice have closest? Without going over?
I like this game, but she's exploded, like as of
ten days ago. Right, I'm gonna say something like seventy
two million, bros. Okay, whoa, this is tough. This is
(24:26):
without going that we've had so far ten million, okay,
because ten listeners would be very low. Four million, three million,
four hundred thousand monthly listeners. Damn I was That means
(24:47):
loot bag. Loot Bag is the winner if it's three million.
He went over, Yeah, go over, you did go over.
I'm just doing closest. Even if you go over, loot
you get them. You get the money, all right, but
you don't get my money. You get you guys think
I'm stupid that I guess that high A little bit, yeah,
a little bit, not really stupid, that's not why. Okay,
give me two reasons, kid, interested the way you've carried
(25:10):
yourself over the last several decades MM and the way
you present yourself on the daily basis you mean cock forward,
bad clothes. It is you could. I think you could
spend hours of your life just going through Spotify looking
see how many monthly listeners. Let's do another one too many?
The pre existing conditions today. Come on, we don't have
(25:32):
to be a pre existing condition. It's fun to think about.
Give us Randy Newman. Let's do Randy Newman. I'm surprised
that Cat Stevens has more followers than Randy Newman. Randy
Newman only three point three million. Okay, maybe that's the
game is higher or lower? Why don't why don't you
each pick the highest band that you can think of,
(25:53):
the hottest band. I could think of the highest band,
highest band, who's got the most view Well, I think
I know. Well, I'm just gonna say Bieber. Okay, I'll
say I'll say Beyonce. This is fun, all right, So
you wanna say Biber Beyond. I think Bieber has it's
a b battle. Maybe we go by letter. Yo, this
is a whole episode where we go by letter. Alright,
(26:13):
Bieber has seventy one million listeners, Beyonce has million? Crazy?
Isn't that crazy? Almost double? Isn't that insane that that
many people are listening to Bieber? Why is that? Is
it that like all these kids that grew up with them?
All right, I'm going to give one to the reluctant quirkies. Okay, Okay,
(26:38):
what I mean? Should we just do it by letter
like an alphabet? And we've tried to give the highest Okay,
we're gonna do see. Okay, So I'm gonna give this
to you. Okay, oh um, don't any party. That's a
good one. You got first come, first serving in the
(27:01):
Spotify letters. Okay, that's good. And now I cold Play?
Oh that's a hard one. Yeah, come on, Coldplay, cold Play.
Cardi B has twenty nine million monthly listeners. Cold Play million? Yeah?
(27:21):
What they probably made up? How power popular? Cardi B? Is?
All right? So I'm leading now, so I get to
I get to go first on the letter that's presented
to me by you A game called do you give
me the letter? How about d H D D Punk?
(27:42):
All right, Dead Kennedy's Fuck no, no, that's I beat
you for sure. Dead Kennedy's a little under one million,
Daft Punk a little under eighteen million. Damn smoked, I'd
do it. I knew that would be a smoke show.
I heard him. I almost said, I almost said, uh,
death Bird for summer doors. The classic doors are probably
(28:06):
lower than like daft Punk. Like someone wants to get involved. Now,
let's come on, let the quirky off. Do you think
do you think is bigger Deaf Leopard or the Doors?
I mean, the Doors are probably bigger than Deaf Leppard,
but I'm just def Leppard around six million monthly listeners,
the younger audience a little more than nine million. Yeah,
(28:27):
I think they have more Mimi songs because they have
the doors. Get they're saying, they're singer jim Jimmy Kimmel
is in the band, So they have like a singer
whose dad was like an admiral in the navy, Like
um who has a graveyard in Paris that the people visit?
So I knew ty, Yeah, Well, I'm just gonna say
(28:48):
Ice Spice I'm going to be adding to one more
monthly listener. I'm taking Ice Spice up to three million,
four hundred fifty thousand, eight hundred and seventy seven monthly listener.
Ice Spice looks like a three D figure. Okay, so
as a spinoff bet from our new game, what do
we call it? Spot a spot a bet? Spot a
(29:10):
bet because you're betting, you know. Yeah, Ice Spice is
is where now three million, four hundred fifty thousand, eight
hundred and seventy six Where will she be at her
next at our next check in in a week? I
say four point five h I mean, I honestly I
(29:32):
don't know anything aside from what has been said here,
but I'm gonna say just you know, I'm just gonna
go big eight million. Wow. I'm gonna hope the best
for Ice Spice. I don't know, I like it. I'll say, uh,
six point eight mh arbitrary number. No, just it's science, Okay.
I'm gonna go bigger than everybody goes ten. Wow, go bigger,
(29:57):

with my co n f T s Quirky. Hello Quirkies
three oh seven. You know proper culture and falls like Jagger,
not his balls, Balls like Jagger. It's a name, but
(00:27):
it is a picture of a lot of people will
call it a moose knuckle. But sometimes if it's really defined,
people would say that's the bussy. Is the pussy made
by the balls? Real quick question sidebar to Quirkies three
oh seven, wish you guys would wear a name tax?
Can you turn balls like Jagger down? In my ears?
(00:48):
He's got he's gotta just turn his game down. I
mean his voice like two times anyone else? Okay, sorry,
how about that? That's too low? How about that? Okay? Yeah,
calls His voice is from deep down his gut. You know,
he could have been a great opera singer on the balls,
just deep down from his ball. That all the digital noise.
(01:10):
I'm like, oh something balls? Yeah about do you guys
know this one? Um? It goes a little something like this.
My eyes have seen the coming of the glory of
the Lord. He was smiling on the fields from which
the bolish Men were shorn. Then the dialing of the
(01:34):
numbers became the dollars in the field. His truth goes much.
It sucked. It's not a style I like, but I
was just trying it out. Now at the end there
you kind of get nutty. Is that is that dramatic
to be comical or to be hit a note? Or
(01:55):
I just just trying to remember the words. Your voice
sounded really shaky the whole time. It was very pitchy. Well,
I hadn't warmed up. I was just going forward his casual,
which is a style you're not going to Hollywood. I mean,
it's the music industry. Even in Hollywood these days, it's
all seems like it's a name Memphis. Yeah, real quick,
now that you're warmed up, I was going to ask
(02:15):
you if you could sing our email addresses to the
to the listeners. No, I heard prop culture at gmail
dot com or I love prop culture at gmail dot com.
Either one of those will work. We're here to make
friendly wagers on current events as dictated by the missive
that is due to arrive any moment. Any old bets
(02:36):
we need to get to. Yes, Oh, yeah, I think
I want a bet. Actually, oh my god, here, remember
we made a bet about which Glee star will get
into trouble or Glee associated person would get into trouble. Yes,
have you heard about a new Jeffrey Dahmers show on Netflix.
One of the Glee stars is Jeffrey Dahmer. No, Like,
(02:58):
do you know who the creator of that show is?
Not a creator, but the c of the show, owner
of this show, of this show. It's got to be
the American horror story guy. Yeah, Ryan Murphy. Yeah. I
predicted that Ryan Murphy would get into trouble soon, and
he has because everybody's angry at him for not consulting
with the victims for the new Jeffrey Dahmer. Oh interesting,
(03:21):
So Quirkies you win. Yeah. One near post has a
story that came out three hours ago. The real Jeffrey Dahmer.
What Ryan Murphy and Netflix got wrong. So with that,
Quirky takes the lead with a hundred and seventy dollars.
I'm breaking it as your high score. I think it's
all your serial killer money. Well, anyway, we're all part
(03:43):
of the same damn thing, just spinning and working together.
So let's say we opened the missive zip dear Lubeck,
and the rest existence continues to be a gamble. Here
today's topics the crystal flute. Were you offended by Lizzo
(04:04):
playing the crystal flute? I don't know enough about the
crystal flute. It reminds me of the crystal skull. I
was just gonna say, I believe it's like, isn't it
Mayan Aliens who invented the flute? I mean, I didn't
even know that James Madison had a foot, you know.
I knew that his wife is kind of hot. Wait now, okay,
who is James Madison. He's one of the founding fathers. Like,
(04:27):
he started daily COEs and his wife is hot. Yeah,
and he was like I think he was known to
have a hot wife for that era, dolly. Okay, that's
the part that threw me off. I did know that
James Madison was a founding father, but when he said
he was hot his wife was hot? Excuse me when
you said his wife was hot? And I was like,
that's not a founding father. But okay, he's also the
fourth president hottest founding father, hot wife. The hottest founding
(04:51):
father is um part freely. What's his name, Ben Franklin
Art Freely. I bet that flute stank. Yeah, imagine two
year old saliva accumulations. Hopefully, they put it an air
conditioned room in it and it dried, so the flute
came out of I think it's from the Library of Congress.
(05:14):
But the Library of Congress approved all this, Lizzo asked,
and they said okay. But they did send along Capital
Police and several other staffers. Besides the flute, Lizzo played
nine Library of Congress artifacts you didn't know existed. Oh, yes,
this is fun. This This is just like that movie
Vampire's Kiss, Lords of Dogtown. What am I thinking of
(05:37):
National Treasure? National Treasure? Yes, what sounds like such a
boring place, right, The Library of Congress sounds like a
big library full of cool things? Or so they say.
What's the source of this list? Texas Monthly. Okay, it's
gonna be good, my favorite magazine. This is a big
(05:57):
deal for the Library of Congress, and they're putting all
the other cool things that they have at the Library
of Congress. We'll decide if any of these are cool.
I don't think any of them are cool or interesting.
The most press Library of Congress has gone in years. Yes,
the very first mass produced Christmas card from Britain in
eighteen forty three Hallmark Empire Lane, very Lane lithograph of
(06:23):
French balloonist Marie Madeleine Sophie Armand Blanchard from eighteen eleven,
which proves that women have always belonged in balloons, Lane,
I mean, I mean number one. Why is her name
so long? It's like, can't like it's a whole sentence.
I love. I don't know. I'm a big fan of
Marie Blanchard Ballona. What's her name again? Oh no, but
(06:45):
I don't know. I don't know. It's like it should
just be like, oh yeah, a woman's in a balloon,
you know, you don't have to prove that a woman
or a photograph of bodybuilder Jeane Jensen and family, in
which eleven month old Kent Jensen appears to be doing
a chin up. Should Library Congress is run by hoarders? Like,
I have no idea who these people are. Wait, Marie
(07:07):
Blanchard died in their balloon. Oh wow, So apparently women
don't belong in balloon. Almost as impressive as the Library
of Congress flute collection. Is it's archive of famous human hair? Yeah,
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, President Rutherford behayes his wife. So
(07:29):
is this like hair hair or pubic hair? It's probably
his head hair. I don't think they're gonna put their pens. Yeah,
only the bald presidents. They put their pubes in the
Library Condress in James Madison gave a locket with a
portrait of himself to a young woman as a token
of love and attached this rated lock of hits hair
to the back with James Madison. That won't that's right,
(07:51):
that's right. I wonder if the woman was his wife
or was he just getting mistress? What do they call it? Nookie? Yeah?
Ork of it as a mistress. It was common back
then to have a mistress. The beat that I'm thinking
about is, well, the Library of Congress. Get any traction
from this beyond the flute? Do you think people will
(08:12):
finally pay their overdue fine? I've had uh, I've had
Andrew Garfield's snuff bag of uh uh it's it say,
come on afraid okay of his krusty mustache, and it's
in a snuff bag that I can wear like a
Fannie pack around my arm and that's the guy that
(08:35):
plays Spider Man. Library of Congress is has hit a wall.
This is their big moment, and they're failing to keep
anybody interested in the Library of Congress Beyond the flute,
that's what that's my bat, that's my butt. I go
with flutes, bet, I go with lutes. Bet. But now
you know people are pissed that Lizzo is playing the
flute because they respect the Library of Congress or do
(08:56):
they just not like Lizzo. They don't like Lizzo. She
curses sometimes in her I don't know me say I'm
a bit, I'm a savage. Take the crystal flute and
I'll steal it like she already wrapped. It doesn't make
sense of the American sense. But I can understand if
like this happened in an Asian country, where you know,
they have certain norms, traditions and manners. You have to
(09:18):
and I'm gonna come back. I'm gonna say I'm gonna
ship on the fucking Japanese right now. I went to
a Taycho drumming presentation and they just hit drums for
they had like three different types of drums hit them
for an hour and a half. Then this guy went
out and played a flute while some woman in an
outfit slowly walked around. And sure, maybe it's not up
to their cultural snuff to like not wear a suit,
(09:41):
but if they were playing that and working and being
in a library, I would have been way more interested.
I was saying one point for Lizo minus one for
the Japanese. Or maybe, um, let's say a better example
will be when we went to an orchestra in Austria,
like they got angry at us for not wearing a jacket. Yeah,
so I just feel that, you know, in the classical setting,
(10:02):
since that the flute is a classical instrument in a
classical setting, Um, sorry, Like classical people expect certain rituals
from the players and the audience alike, and when you
break those rules, I think they get really bad. How
did the anger manifest itself? I borrowed a jacket and
I wore that from who from them? They had a
(10:22):
jacket that they gave me, oh man, and it's stunk. Yeah.
So I'm gonna say that's like an example of how giant, realistic,
ritualistic classical people are. And they are like a lot
of dudes and don't in that world. And you know,
since the food is like a very classical instrument, I
could see classical music people getting well. I think politeness
and manners is a way for parents to abuse children.
(10:45):
That's all it is. It's a way to have Watching
the video of her playing the flute and she is
shaking her booty fast, that's awesome. Imagine the skill it dates.
But she's like quirkies. You can barely like she's trilling
the flu as she's working her butt. So it is
kind of a choreograph maneuver. It's not it's impressive. Yeah,
(11:05):
it's kind of show off. The only reason I'm insulted,
I'm sure. I think she's just showing off. Oh she's
got friends at the Library of Congress, blah blah blah.
But I don't think, yeah, the Library Congress will get
any more traction out of the food, you know, And well,
what what's what what does traction mean? Do you look
bag controversy? I think, well, I think that, um, we're
not going to hear from the Library of Congress again
(11:27):
for the next um decade. You don't think that to
try and save his career, um, Adam Levine is going
to go and make a I'm sorry babe message out
of hair, or even better, make a market out of
the old process here, and that will make people angry. Yeah,
he could step up and play a crystal saxophone solo forever. Yes,
(11:49):
crystal saxophone. How many instruments can you make out a crystal?
You can make a recorder, you can make it harmonica. Probably,
maybe can even make a crystal piano. A lot of things,
I think, Yeah, allow up steel. Did Al Franken Al
Franklin have a spinning glass harmonica? Then Franklin frank a
(12:10):
glass harmonica? Oh, I'm sorry it was harmonica, not a harmonica,
an armmonica? Harmonica? Yeah? Have you ever seen in harmonica? Oh? Nice?
We have a consensus on the Library of Congress. Yeah. Yeah.
Lame urban sprawl. Guests who just bought a house in
(12:38):
l a Oh, Thomas Middle Ditch. No, Jackie Siegel, No,
my favorite celeb Larry David. Oh. I thought you were
going to do a pre existing condition. Now my pre
existing becauseition is this? Who is your So I'll give
you and to Arieta Grande just sold a house from
this neighborhood and Larry David just bought to how it
(13:00):
passed from this neighborhood, which l a neighborhood is this,
But Larry David did not buy aria Grande's house. No, No,
it's a different house, and it's different in the same neighborhood.
Hold on, we had a whiteboard to chalk out this bet.
Give it to me again. Which neighborhood did Larry David
by his house in Los Angeles. It's a new house,
(13:21):
and Ariana Grande just recently moved out of the neighborhood.
Ten too many Mars six Hills five four three two
one Westwood. No, it's also a place where Harry, uh,
(13:42):
Prince Harry and began Mark I think lived to. It's
Monte Cito, California, Mona Cito, Angeles. It's not. It's not
Los Angeles. It's nearby Los Angeles. It's Santa Barbara County.
Excuse me that that is void. Yeah, we're avoiding this
pre existing Monte Sito. Yeah, it's like, god damn it.
(14:05):
You know, actually just a California penalty. You said it
was a Los Angeles name. Yeah. You hey, you just
like hey, hey, like lude that's unfair. You've made a
lot of that, like never made one mistake. Okay, no,
he's made many mistakes. You know. It's farther out than Oxnard.
It's right, like, hey, it's like only an hour away.
(14:26):
You have a ten dollar penalty for for that. No, no, no,
that's I'm doing well. He hold on, Hey what what
neighborhood in l a dode this good a house and
recently yeah it was Oakland, Oakland. Hey, you've made terrible
like pre existing conditions. It's pre existing condition number one,
(14:50):
pre existing condition. How many miles is it from Montes
not to Zito Monta Sito Montecito so the Chinese theater
in Hollywood? I think that. I think Montecito is Spanish
for little mounds, some neighborhood. You just said it's one
(15:12):
hour away a d twenty miles. Well, you know like
people dry fast over there. Eight it's for everybody, for
everybody have uh fifty six miles. I'm sorry, everybody owes
me ten dollars five point five miles via US one
(15:35):
oh one north. You got to give it, Lute was
pretty close. It was pretty close. P C O two
six is void. P c O two So I did
my pre existing condition last, because I'm about to burp.
You do it how you did I did it? So
there's like a scale because you can't guess what guess.
(15:57):
That's why you're down to falls. He also did not
lose any money from that that I remember that. You
have a recording of it, like ever recording of it too. Yeah,
you did not. Culture, they've got a pre existing condition.
Oh excellent. What has Putin declared holy war on the
West about? This has not to do that. It's pop culture.
(16:21):
This is the popular culture. We live in a world
of war violence and culture war and culture violence. Nine.
The question again, what is he He's declared holy war
on the West, saying the West is moving towards blank one. Three, degeneracy, five,
(16:44):
it's only one thing. Seven in the West, Marvel movie, fascism,
ugly ugly chicks, Satanisms ship, which is a pop culture thing,
but stranger things. Let's move on satanism. Guys. It's October.
(17:05):
It's October. It's the Devil's month. Right? Is American culture
becoming satanic in the pop culture that we see? I mean,
I don't think you should talk about this, balls because
you're not a particularly religious person. Okay, you're not even
a person, yeah, or you're not even a religious and yeah,
(17:26):
so I don't think you're and I don't think we
should talk about because none of us are really religious.
I'm spiritual though. Are we all citizens of this culture?
Though we can say as digital citizens whether or not
we are satanic? I think satan civil civil Satanism. You're
saying it's aside from religious Satanism, saying civil it's the
(17:49):
things we're doing as a culture are satanic because, as
Quirky said, we are degenerate. Well, now, as Quirky's was
saying that, Vladimir and said that about the West, Lawrence
puton same as so boring, Like, well, can we can
we talk about the satanic influence of Halloween in October?
(18:10):
Thank you? Oh gosh, I mean, isn't like Halloween's gonna
be the biggest Halloween costume this year? Jeffrey Dahmer, Oh wow,
I think I don't think I was talking about a week.
I think this is the end of it. No, Americans
love serial killers. Come on, come on, Americans are upset.
I think we're definitely going to see Pearl slash X.
(18:33):
What's Pearl? It's that that new series of horror movies.
One of the Golden Girls, got One of the Golden
Janis Choplin. It's It's it's these horror movies that are
becoming quite popular where Mia Goth plays a female serial killer.
The first movie was in the seventies, and then she
plays both the Old Lady and of one of the victims.
(18:55):
Is they're supposed to be emotional parallels between them both
being young and pretty, but then they grow old and
get jealous. And then the next one that's just come
out is about the prequel of the Old Lady as
a young woman played by the same woman. You know,
I do think there's going to be a very hot
couple's costume this year. Marjorie Taylor Green in her workout Instructor.
(19:19):
That's a good one. That's a good one. I think
people could go as Adam Levine's text messages, Oh yeah,
that's what I'm saying, your body is unreal or whatever.
I can't understand the geometry of your tits. Is that what?
That's what he should have said. But yeah, my bets
on the Jeffrey Dahmer think because Jeffrey Dahmer costumes, because
oh gosh, yeah, that's what people are watching on net one.
(19:41):
How about people? Maybe someone will go as Dom and
Damer that's funny, that's good. What about Lizzo and James Madison.
I don't know they are fighting over the flute. That
would be a good couple's costumes. Would you guys do that? Na?
I think it will be problem Lizzo. I think this
year I'm going to go as a resident of Montecito.
(20:05):
But you'll be so you don't end up to the
party because you live too far away. Where do you
guys listen to this week new music? I've listened to
the new Glitterer EP, high Viz. I just put in
at an album this weekend that's really freaking good. Yeah, Yeah,
(20:28):
yeahs or Out, Freddie Gibbs, Slipknot. What are you listen
to these days, quirkies? I'm listening to um just Korean
indie music. What means if do you listen to balls?
I'm listening to a little Uh. Let me see what
(20:49):
I've listened to lately, probably Earth Wind and Fire, Milton Nacimento,
hilum Ergia. You listen to Randy says hard to say specifically,
I love l A and the funny thing about the
song I Love l a is he specifically says about
deceitos not in Nilo all I listened to all day
(21:10):
and all night and in my dreams it's Ice Spice Spice.
Yeah you listen, nice Spice. Aren't you don't see the
lady with the abortion song munch feeling feeling you much song?
Am I thinking of? I don't know that much feeling you? Oh? Wow?
(21:31):
Is Ice Spice gonna break out? I don't know. There's
a lot of complaints because she she's like play like
she had a concert but didn't have like any songs
to play right her song her big hit songs like
a minute and a half long, ten million views on munch.
But that's her own website, munch dot com, right. I
like this video. That's cool. Look at her buns. Come on,
(21:54):
what I'm talking about that she's a real person. She
kind of like a digital avatar my opinion. Yeah, listen,
I'm telling you she's about to She's about to explode.
So will that be your next? But we'll I Spice
be the next? Um doja cat in like too much?
(22:18):
I like I Spice. I'm a fan. Thanks for turning
me onto these new tunes. Yeah, I love music videos.
I can watch you on mute and still have fun. Um.
So will I Spice be on the Billboard Top twenty
or is she already in the Billboard Top twenty? I
don't know that's you know, how do we judge things culturally?
(22:38):
Will she? Will she pop up on an ad? Well?
We could she be on TV on a talk show? Now?
The best way to judge success culturally these days Spotify
Spotify monthly listeners. Okay, now, let's do a pre existing
condition and it's going to be I'm going to set
(22:59):
rules here closest without going over. Thank you, Thank you, bitch,
and we're gonna set a quick thank you calibration. Okay,
you bitch, let's quickly calibrate your expectations. Okay, for no nanigans.
This is just straight aspire and I'm appreciating quirky. Give
(23:20):
me an artist, and I will tell you how many
monthly listeners there are to calibrate. Doja cat, doja cat? Okay,
fifty five million monthly listeners. How do you find this out?
In case one of us, it's right on Spotify, right
under their name and Spotify, Luke, give me an artist,
calibrate cat Stevens cats Stevens. Now, I'm gonna be searching
(23:43):
for use of slash cat Stevens. Okay, forgot he converted
to long years. Yes, is the use of slash cat Stevens.
Seven million monthly listeners and then balls give me an
artist DOMI and j D Beckmy and j D Beck? Right? Uh,
six hundred and twenty two tho now, but that means
(24:04):
it's like cool because less people pre existing conditions? How
many monthly listeners? Does Ice Spice have closest? Without going over?
I like this game, but she's exploded, like as of
ten days ago. Right, I'm gonna say something like seventy
two million, bros. Okay, whoa, this is tough. This is
(24:26):
without going that we've had so far ten million, okay,
because ten listeners would be very low. Four million, three million,
four hundred thousand monthly listeners. Damn I was That means
(24:47):
loot bag. Loot Bag is the winner if it's three million.
He went over, Yeah, go over, you did go over.
I'm just doing closest. Even if you go over, loot
you get them. You get the money, all right, but
you don't get my money. You get you guys think
I'm stupid that I guess that high A little bit, yeah,
a little bit, not really stupid, that's not why. Okay,
give me two reasons, kid, interested the way you've carried
(25:10):
yourself over the last several decades MM and the way
you present yourself on the daily basis you mean cock forward,
bad clothes. It is you could. I think you could
spend hours of your life just going through Spotify looking
see how many monthly listeners. Let's do another one too many?
The pre existing conditions today. Come on, we don't have
(25:32):
to be a pre existing condition. It's fun to think about.
Give us Randy Newman. Let's do Randy Newman. I'm surprised
that Cat Stevens has more followers than Randy Newman. Randy
Newman only three point three million. Okay, maybe that's the
game is higher or lower? Why don't why don't you
each pick the highest band that you can think of,
(25:53):
the hottest band. I could think of the highest band,
highest band, who's got the most view Well, I think
I know. Well, I'm just gonna say Bieber. Okay, I'll
say I'll say Beyonce. This is fun, all right, So
you wanna say Biber Beyond. I think Bieber has it's
a b battle. Maybe we go by letter. Yo, this
is a whole episode where we go by letter. Alright,
(26:13):
Bieber has seventy one million listeners, Beyonce has million? Crazy?
Isn't that crazy? Almost double? Isn't that insane that that
many people are listening to Bieber? Why is that? Is
it that like all these kids that grew up with them?
All right, I'm going to give one to the reluctant quirkies. Okay, Okay,
(26:38):
what I mean? Should we just do it by letter
like an alphabet? And we've tried to give the highest Okay,
we're gonna do see. Okay, So I'm gonna give this
to you. Okay, oh um, don't any party. That's a
good one. You got first come, first serving in the
(27:01):
Spotify letters. Okay, that's good. And now I cold Play?
Oh that's a hard one. Yeah, come on, Coldplay, cold Play.
Cardi B has twenty nine million monthly listeners. Cold Play million? Yeah?
(27:21):
What they probably made up? How power popular? Cardi B? Is?
All right? So I'm leading now, so I get to
I get to go first on the letter that's presented
to me by you A game called do you give
me the letter? How about d H D D Punk?
(27:42):
All right, Dead Kennedy's Fuck no, no, that's I beat
you for sure. Dead Kennedy's a little under one million,
Daft Punk a little under eighteen million. Damn smoked, I'd
do it. I knew that would be a smoke show.
I heard him. I almost said, I almost said, uh,
death Bird for summer doors. The classic doors are probably
(28:06):
lower than like daft Punk. Like someone wants to get involved. Now,
let's come on, let the quirky off. Do you think
do you think is bigger Deaf Leopard or the Doors?
I mean, the Doors are probably bigger than Deaf Leppard,
but I'm just def Leppard around six million monthly listeners,
the younger audience a little more than nine million. Yeah,
(28:27):
I think they have more Mimi songs because they have
the doors. Get they're saying, they're singer jim Jimmy Kimmel
is in the band, So they have like a singer
whose dad was like an admiral in the navy, Like
um who has a graveyard in Paris that the people visit?
So I knew ty, Yeah, Well, I'm just gonna say
(28:48):
Ice Spice I'm going to be adding to one more
monthly listener. I'm taking Ice Spice up to three million,
four hundred fifty thousand, eight hundred and seventy seven monthly listener.
Ice Spice looks like a three D figure. Okay, so
as a spinoff bet from our new game, what do
we call it? Spot a spot a bet? Spot a
(29:10):
bet because you're betting, you know. Yeah, Ice Spice is
is where now three million, four hundred fifty thousand, eight
hundred and seventy six Where will she be at her
next at our next check in in a week? I
say four point five h I mean, I honestly I
(29:32):
don't know anything aside from what has been said here,
but I'm gonna say just you know, I'm just gonna
go big eight million. Wow. I'm gonna hope the best
for Ice Spice. I don't know, I like it. I'll say, uh,
six point eight mh arbitrary number. No, just it's science, Okay.
I'm gonna go bigger than everybody goes ten. Wow, go bigger,
(29:57):
go home. I don't have a home, so I can
only go big, all right? Closing up the missive sad
