Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dumpster fire dumpster. Yeah, dam well, I don't know. We're
supposed to be recording everything we do from the right.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Uh yeah, the Starbucks coaking good A sandwich is unreasonably delicious.
It doesn't look very good, even like one of those
things where you shouldn't like take look offside. Yeah, it's
like an Arby's sandwich.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Maybe don't look inside because it probably doesn't look any better.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Can I ask you that? Do you ever eat Arby's occasionally? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
They have really good fry. The curly fries are pretty good.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Their crinkle cut fries are actually pretty gosh durn good.
But boy, you should not look at your sandwich right now.
It's the same kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Yes, yeah, yeah, Look, sometimes you have to do what
you have to do. I used to live, you know,
one hundred and fifty miles from the nearest euro So
you go to Arby's, you get the euro you know,
or whatever.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
They have you know.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, yeah, I did not great, No, but it'll do.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
It'll do.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
It's better than driving one hundred and twenty hundred ffty
miles whatever I could do.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I would like to see. This might be a fun combination.
Go to a good Mediterranean restaurant, get a year room
and then put some Arby's Horsey sauce on it.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
That can be phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah, I mean it's just like a.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Basically yeah, basically with like yeah, oh yeah, of course
there's corn serpent.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah, there has to be.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
It's America, damn it.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Uh yeah, so hi, uh we are, Well, you wanted
to talk about something for our dumpster fire episode here?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah, dumpster fire.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I don't know if we are episodes or just let
clips that will get.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Running us the right term? Am I am? I saying
the right term? Yeah, change, I keep thank you forgetting
what you wanted to call it.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Oh sorry, I don't know if it's that important.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Part of me goes to like hot mess.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Oh yeah, yeah, I like the dumpster fire. It seems like,
you know, all right.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
The other thing I.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Was gonna say is I had a friend at work,
yes listening. He had a suggestion, after we say all
helly algorithm, we do like a borg style like layers
of voices all in unison saying all helly algorithm. Okay,
I thought it's not a funny anyway, it's something to
think about.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Well, we should ask free user submissions of them saying.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Nice, nice, and we can layer them all up. Yeah nice, Okay,
good luck.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I mean the response rate is still very bad compared
to the amount of people listening. Not that there's a
ship a ton of people listening. I keep forgetting to
market us at all. Uh fucking like it used to
be easy because I could have libs and make a
post on my Twitter and then I could pin that
and retweet it even and stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
And it refuses to do that.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
So the Twitter Oh yeah, my Twitter engagement is so
down now anyway, so many people aren't even on.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
There anymore that I don't even know where you like,
I don't know where we would.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
We'll find something, figure out something.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Well, once we do this episode, conspiracy episode, I'm going
to once it comes out, I'm going to try try
to market us to the our conspiracy subreddit. See if
I can get some kits there. People want to listen
to their own stuff. Maybe all right, okay, I'll you
have it a shot. Okay, yeah yeah, speaking of people
(03:42):
with weird faces.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Uh, what what are you going to say?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Just while we're on the DUMPSTERUF fire and who knows
when if ever, this will see the light of day.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
But we Season four of the Boys just came out.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I wasn't going to say anything about Starlight because I
don't care. But she had some social media controversy the
actress over a few months ago about having some work
done on her very young face, and Jennifer pointed it
out while we were watching, like, something's wrong with her face.
Something doesn't look right, Like she's not emoting like she
should be able to.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
And have you watched it yet? No?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Okay, but I will never.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
I thought I was waiting for Carrie, but then she
reminded me she hasn't watched The Boys since the first season.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Many I guess, Oh jeez, it's a great show. But
it's really a great show. It's just not her jam
That's okay, it's extreme. It's every season is becoming more
and more extremely political with the just the and I
don't know that it really portrays it portrays either side
(04:48):
as being great, but there is the fashion versus the
non fascist side.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Yeah, we don't have good and bad, We just have
bad and bad, different flavors of bad.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yep, Yeah, pretty much? All right? All right?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Should we do we have anything else to chit chat?
Or should we move into the actual episode?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Oh, let me check my, Let me check my.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Uh okay, I think I wrote something down for a
dumpster fire notebook section.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
No, no, yeah, well I just keep I marked stuff
in the.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Okay, here's another thing. Have you seen the movie Dumb Money?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
No? Oh my god, you know what it's about. No,
but I'm I am dbing it right now.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Okay, it's about the the game.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Stop Pete Davidson. Oh, the game Stop. Shit. I should
watch that because that story does fascinate me. Is it?
Does it? Do it? The story Justice? Yes? And no?
So I see it.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Stall stars Paul Dano and Pete Davidson as two people
whose last name is Gil.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I should probably know who those are.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Itsen is not in it that much?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
But is the story about the investors? The reddit people?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
All right, well, then I definitely should watch it. Is
it on streaming or is it the Netflix?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
There you go? Man?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
All right, let me just I'm going to bookmark that
while you talk. Is this another homework assignment for me?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
I mean, I don't know if I should talk to
you about it when you've seen it and you can
tell me what you think.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It's another one of these things where like I know
the real life story, like I knew the von Erics,
so it'll be interesting. I've added it to my list
on Netflix. That does not guarantee me eating it at
any one we're eating it.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I don't eat it.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
It's a movie.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
When I searched for dumb Money, next to it was
a documentary called Eat the Rich. I think it's about
the game stop stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, that's just that's just very It touches on a
lot of things that we've we've harped on here a bit.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Okay, but all right, well let's bookmarkt There things about
it that really bothered me.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Is I want to talk about it now?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I don't know if I talked about it now, Am
I going to ruin it for?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
You already know what happens. I know the broad points
of the story, the real story.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Okay, At the end, they do this little thing to
kind of make it feel like, oh wait, we really
stuck it to the to the big guys. Yeah we won.
But you know, go back to the next day and
it's not like those people are anything. It's not like
anything changed, not like anything all that happened is they
made it harder for for the little guy to to
(07:40):
you know what, this story is not done, No it's not.
It's still still now it's happening right now. But but
now now. But but all these big investments they have people,
investors that the companies, they have people that can watch
this ship and and and keep an.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Eye on things better.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
I know it doesn't always help, but they have the
resources to whatever the fuck they want.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
And then you know, and and nothing bad really happened
to anybody.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
What happened to the Robin Hood guys.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Nothing that should have like a lot of bad stuff
should have happened to a lot of people. But anyways, well,
my biggest thing is that the end is the end
is tied up into this where where the little guys
stuck it to the big guys yay, And then it
says then it goes to the closing.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Credits and it says, uh, produced.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
By the Winklevoss Twins, you know who are fucking billionaires. Yeah,
crypto douchebags. And you know you may have known them
from the social network. Yeah, So it's like billionaires that
are telling the story, like did we stick it to
the billionaires, but they're gonna make all the money from it.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
So well, like being the anti stock market is probably
good for the crypto market.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Well yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
But it's still it's still it's just it's billionaires being like,
are these billionaires ridiculous and stupid?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
And you stuck it to them, didn't we?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Well that's an interesting that that's an interesting question. And
I don't know how deep we want to go into this,
but okay, stock market is a bad system ugually because
it is being abused by these you know, these hedge funds, right.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
They manipulate the market.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
It used to be investing companies you believe in and
if they make money, you make money. And now it's
about playing games. And that's why the game stop thing
is right. It was all about short selling, betting that
the company will fail, doing the opposite, which shouldn't be
a thing, and yet somehow it still is. Now with
all the corruption and evil and stupid that's in the
(09:37):
stock market, is crypto any worse? Crypto is so much worse.
Crypto is betting up and down on money, except it's
a new kind of currency that we haven't really properly recognized.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
But money is made up in the first place.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Exactly money doesn't exist.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Money's not real, So why is exactly right?
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I mean it is because it uses someone like the
crypto mining rigs and everything that use like incredible resources
is not good.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
It's like, well, let's have money, but can we make
it really bad for the environment?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Okay, well that's that's an argument. Sure, that doesn't change
the legitimacy of the idea of cryptocurrency.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I feel like the can made a thing be I
don't know, I don't like it.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I mean, it's the idea of the security of the
blockchain and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I appreciate that, but how many.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
It just it's just a big It opened the door
for just more people to get scammed, more little people
are scammed. And how many how many of these cryptos
have turned out just to be massive.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Scams A lot of them, yes, yes, but those were offshoot.
I mean they all started with bitcoin, right like, Bitcoin
was the first and is easily the most stable, and
then there's a few that have come out alongside that,
and then you have thousands or tens of thousands of
scam coins, undoubtedly, and there should be someone looking into
(11:09):
those scams and putting people in jail.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Or firing squad.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I don't care like people get off too light for
financial crimes, so I don't care.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Yes, you know, oh oh, I have an idea financial crimes. Okay,
let's face it, the bare idea that I proposed last
or last time. It's not practical, and it just kind
of leans into the idea that the world is going
to get really have to be terrible once we take
everything down. What if we okay, this is my thing,
(11:40):
financial people. We have to a hold them accountable. First,
we have to put something in place to hold these
assholes accountable. Second, we do not send them to prison.
We make it so the only job they can hold
is a fucking barrista job or you know, something terrible,
something that they would look down on and can never
make more than you know, less than Liverpool wagh hmm
(12:00):
salary that those people are going to be our Yeah, yeah,
you take away you take away their money, you know,
their cars there, you know everything, and say hey, but
we're going to give you this job at Starbucks. And
you know, if you try to unionize, you're gonna get
fired and you can't have another You're gonna you know,
and I guess there's a social stratification problem with that too,
(12:21):
because then we're going to have this working class.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
But there are people that fell from the top.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
You know, if you if you want to cheat at
the top, you got to pay at the bottom.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Man, Well, that would be lovely. That would have to start.
Why I'm not in charge, that would.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I would have to start with us having a mechanism
to take away the money from people that do all
these crimes, because so far this system is fucking useless.
It is useless, and it's for people and corporations. Corporations
kill people all the time because the penalties are so
much less than the money that they've been making while
killing people.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
It's a it's a daily problem.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
M hm, yes, it is.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
All right at the end, yeap, all right, that was
a good dumpster fire.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Okay, so a lot longer than I thought it was
going to go.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well, that could be broken up and do a couple
of parts. We should probably do our twenty seconds of
silence now, which gives me a dividing line between the
dumpster fire and the not dumpster fire.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
So that's nice. Excuse me,
Dumpster fire dumpster. Yeah, dam well, I don't know. We're
supposed to be recording everything we do from the right.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Uh yeah, the Starbucks coaking good A sandwich is unreasonably delicious.
It doesn't look very good, even like one of those
things where you shouldn't like take look offside. Yeah, it's
like an Arby's sandwich.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Maybe don't look inside because it probably doesn't look any better.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Can I ask you that? Do you ever eat Arby's occasionally? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
They have really good fry. The curly fries are pretty good.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Their crinkle cut fries are actually pretty gosh durn good.
But boy, you should not look at your sandwich right now.
It's the same kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Yes, yeah, yeah, Look, sometimes you have to do what
you have to do. I used to live, you know,
one hundred and fifty miles from the nearest euro So
you go to Arby's, you get the euro you know,
or whatever.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
They have you know.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, yeah, I did not great, No, but it'll do.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
It'll do.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
It's better than driving one hundred and twenty hundred ffty
miles whatever I could do.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I would like to see. This might be a fun combination.
Go to a good Mediterranean restaurant, get a year room
and then put some Arby's Horsey sauce on it.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
That can be phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah, I mean it's just like a.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Basically yeah, basically with like yeah, oh yeah, of course
there's corn serpent.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah, there has to be.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
It's America, damn it.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Uh yeah, so hi, uh we are, Well, you wanted
to talk about something for our dumpster fire episode here?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah, dumpster fire.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I don't know if we are episodes or just let
clips that will get.

It's still still now it's happening right now. But but
now now. But but all these big investments they have people,
investors that the companies, they have people that can watch
this ship and and and keep an.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Eye on things better.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
I know it doesn't always help, but they have the
resources to whatever the fuck they want.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
And then you know, and and nothing bad really happened
to anybody.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
What happened to the Robin Hood guys.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Nothing that should have like a lot of bad stuff
should have happened to a lot of people. But anyways, well,
my biggest thing is that the end is the end
is tied up into this where where the little guys
stuck it to the big guys yay, And then it
says then it goes to the closing.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Credits and it says, uh, produced.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
By the Winklevoss Twins, you know who are fucking billionaires. Yeah,
crypto douchebags. And you know you may have known them
from the social network. Yeah, So it's like billionaires that
are telling the story, like did we stick it to
the billionaires, but they're gonna make all the money from it.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
So well, like being the anti stock market is probably
good for the crypto market.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Well yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
But it's still it's still it's just it's billionaires being like,
are these billionaires ridiculous and stupid?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
And you stuck it to them, didn't we?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Well that's an interesting that that's an interesting question. And
I don't know how deep we want to go into this,
but okay, stock market is a bad system ugually because
it is being abused by these you know, these hedge funds, right.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
They manipulate the market.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
It used to be investing companies you believe in and
if they make money, you make money. And now it's
about playing games. And that's why the game stop thing
is right. It was all about short selling, betting that
the company will fail, doing the opposite, which shouldn't be
a thing, and yet somehow it still is. Now with
all the corruption and evil and stupid that's in the
(09:37):
stock market, is crypto any worse? Crypto is so much worse.
Crypto is betting up and down on money, except it's
a new kind of currency that we haven't really properly recognized.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
But money is made up in the first place.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Exactly money doesn't exist.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Money's not real, So why is exactly right?
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I mean it is because it uses someone like the
crypto mining rigs and everything that use like incredible resources
is not good.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
It's like, well, let's have money, but can we make
it really bad for the environment?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Okay, well that's that's an argument. Sure, that doesn't change
the legitimacy of the idea of cryptocurrency.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I feel like the can made a thing be I
don't know, I don't like it.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I mean, it's the idea of the security of the
blockchain and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I appreciate that, but how many.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
It just it's just a big It opened the door
for just more people to get scammed, more little people
are scammed. And how many how many of these cryptos
have turned out just to be massive.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Scams A lot of them, yes, yes, but those were offshoot.
I mean they all started with bitcoin, right like, Bitcoin
was the first and is easily the most stable, and
then there's a few that have come out alongside that,
and then you have thousands or tens of thousands of
scam coins, undoubtedly, and there should be someone looking into
(11:09):
those scams and putting people in jail.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Or firing squad.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I don't care like people get off too light for
financial crimes, so I don't care.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Yes, you know, oh oh, I have an idea financial crimes. Okay,
let's face it, the bare idea that I proposed last
or last time. It's not practical, and it just kind
of leans into the idea that the world is going
to get really have to be terrible once we take
everything down. What if we okay, this is my thing,
(11:40):
financial people. We have to a hold them accountable. First,
we have to put something in place to hold these
assholes accountable. Second, we do not send them to prison.
We make it so the only job they can hold
is a fucking barrista job or you know, something terrible,
something that they would look down on and can never
make more than you know, less than Liverpool wagh hmm
(12:00):
salary that those people are going to be our Yeah, yeah,
you take away you take away their money, you know,
their cars there, you know everything, and say hey, but
we're going to give you this job at Starbucks. And
you know, if you try to unionize, you're gonna get
fired and you can't have another You're gonna you know,
and I guess there's a social stratification problem with that too,
(12:21):
because then we're going to have this working class.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
But there are people that fell from the top.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
You know, if you if you want to cheat at
the top, you got to pay at the bottom.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Man, Well, that would be lovely. That would have to start.
Why I'm not in charge, that would.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I would have to start with us having a mechanism
to take away the money from people that do all
these crimes, because so far this system is fucking useless.
It is useless, and it's for people and corporations. Corporations
kill people all the time because the penalties are so
much less than the money that they've been making while
killing people.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
It's a it's a daily problem.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
M hm, yes, it is.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
All right at the end, yeap, all right, that was
a good dumpster fire.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Okay, so a lot longer than I thought it was
going to go.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well, that could be broken up and do a couple
of parts. We should probably do our twenty seconds of
silence now, which gives me a dividing line between the
dumpster fire and the not dumpster fire.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
So that's nice. Excuse me,
