young guy who was shane Gil podcast at

you know? Sells... Yeah So watch this podcast
instead of Shane Gill pod. Yeah. Because I'm
more muscular.
Oh, we

(04:12):
so it's weird though that you thought it
was someone you knew and then it wasn't.
It was a different person. It was like,
a different comedian in person. So
also knew. Yeah.
Well, that's like, that's like the 1 time,
but I was I was walking around the
Warner brothers lot. Mh. And then I went
in this room and and I thought I
saw Ellen in there. And I was like,
oh, it's and then I realized it was
just the men's mirrors.

(04:38):
Well, I you guys remember... I think it
was our first or second episode.
I raged over against this company called Q.
Yes. Yeah. They they made fake, like, they...
It look like they're again this whole wizard
of Oz experience out in the streets. They
showed this, like, all this look like people
in costume, like, cool event, like, backgrounds, gold
d road.
It turns out it's just an app with

(04:59):
a bunch of Ai generated stuff where you
walk around the street in this play a
game. U. On your phone and nothing... It's
just on a street. It could be any
street. It's...
Anyway, you guys look back on of it
I made a breakout video of this test
segment. Yeah. I remember that. Yeah. So I
like it was popular. And it became kind
popping for us popular, but on Facebook and

(05:19):
on Youtube go. Either well. We got. Yeah.
We got over 30 views. Yeah. I you
know
Gavin has still hundred things about you guys.
But I it keeps... They do keep getting
the people that are finding it are finding
it because they're doing their homework on C,
and they're... I'm saving people.
Wow. So then finally what happened is Quest
is now on my Youtube that on the

(05:40):
Youtube video, and they're talking to me. And
they're like, we have a 80 percent of
our customers are satisfied
with our product. And I'm like, well, a
hundred percent of people I ran to on
the street that day,
felt like they had been completely scammed. So
I'm curious if the 80 percent of your
positive reviews came from a
Vietnamese comet mining farm.
Wow,

(06:01):
Yeah. Wow. That breakout has a thousand views.
Yeah. I know. And then I I know
they tell you They talk. I I saw
like a... Pop of that they refund. Like,
we... We don't do these in Vietnam, so
that wouldn't be possible. Like, I was accusing
you of, like, buying comments. Oh, you were
telling them this. Yeah. So we're back and
forth now.
Because they're mad that people are finding my
video and comedy like, thank you. You stop
me from buying because they must made a

(06:23):
lot because I was amazed some many people
are ranch by that day, and it's of
index. Company. Yeah. We they made wow we
get to your food.
What a blower over here? What were you
up to this week Patrick.
I went to 1 of my first Dodge
games of the year, and so I've been
dating this new girl, and she found out
how much I curse while watching the Dodgers,
which was great.

(06:43):
I you react for that. She was seen
never. I think because I was working at
the b and then the daily wire. It's
like, Kinda, like, trained myself a lot. So
it was kind of like, a very different
Careful when It's I... When we got into
the Mario conversation. Yeah. See.
What I do is I
I feel like I don't I don't curse
A lot when I'm at the b or,
like, when I was you know, on air.

(07:05):
So then I try to curse extra mushroom
I'm Yeah. And then it's, like, at the
dodge game. And that's where I got all
out. And then it was like, 1 of
my friends was a bust and Red sox
fan. And I know if you guys have
had the joy of, like, someone hitting, like,
a grand slam and then being able to
yell in their face. Yeah. But That was
1 of the great experiences this week. Nice.
I just... I I generally,

(07:26):
I cursed road rage just when I'm alone
to my car, and then a couple times
I've forgotten that my kid was strapped to
in the back backseat.
Oops.
Does... Does your kid ever start swearing them?
Did they pick it out.
Yeah. That's... Yeah. Yeah luckily.
Know. I'm saying. It's all gobble Cook. Oh,
so you mentioned... You went to the Dodgers
game on a date with with your girlfriend.
Me, my girlfriend we were routed at a

(07:47):
bar this week on a date. And the
bar had sign,
it said behind the bar asked us about
our mock. Tails. They had all their, and
their assignments and ask us about our mock
tails. Mh. And I came up with this
is weird fantasy They by a head if
I ever own a bar,
I would want to put that sign up
there, ask us about our mock tails, and
then I would instruct all the bartender tenders
at the response when somebody comes up of...

(08:08):
Excuse me. Could you tell me at our
mock tails?
I tell you mock.
I don't want.
Julie it's just like dish. But only that
1 just mock thing asking about the mock
fails, and you do it every single time.
That's what and that's what the bar is
known for.

(08:31):
But it just like normal every other the
sign just say... Yeah. Like...
Alright. I you're talk down the week's top
news? Yeah. Let's do it.
Miriam Webster asks x users, what word or
grammar hill there? Absolutely dying on,
and they instantly regret.
So this is Straight from Twitter, Trevor sent

(08:54):
to us.
Miriam Webster posted this tweet. And apparently, they
got so racial. They deleted the tweet and
blocked a set of people so it This
is how it started. So we got this
tweet posted to by Sony named Jennifer, and
then a bunch of emoji things, mean things,
I guess. I don't know what these mean.
Mary webster supposed a. What's the word grammar
hill. You're absolutely willing to die on or
absolutely dying on. You're you are currently dying

(09:16):
on in a hub. I always are willing
to die on. They're asking what grammar rule
you're like it's
around die on this we're gonna defend this.
Yeah yeah. Which is a funny thing for
them to ask in this content in this
yeah. I'm, which is always is great too
because it's like a 20 year old doing.
They probably social media yeah. Yeah. It's never
like like our actual person. Questions are great
for engagement. Like And

(09:36):
wants to say their answers. And they probably
think it's gonna be something like the aqua
for comma. Yeah. Right. Exactly, you know, irons
instead of me or something yeah. Mh. So
how it went.
So they posted just 1 example, Amy e
So
for
a psychology,
M,
woman means adult human female, men are women.

(09:59):
She was 1 of many. That that 1
alone had 82000 Views, and that's sure quote
tweeting Merrick.
It got. A lot. And so there's a
few more examples of women now, Adult female.
His message easily gave him away as male.
This bite his adoption of reg aggressive evidence
steering
And then A Gibson said Mary Webster has

(10:21):
the message of. Oh. So this 1 is
under the definition of message. So there's still...
People are still posting this under their trolling
them no matter they post because they still
going back to... Because the old one's deleted
now. We haven't got to that. And they
were blocking people... Yeah. I mostly a little
out of a out of border, I guess.
They're blocking people and they deleted a little
thing. So... But, if you look on their
Twitter, they have different

(10:41):
words up and just the definition of it,
and then people are quoting. So this was
a message was the the words. These people
are
putting Amir Webster has the dosage of a
dictionary, but it's nothing more than propaganda.
Gotcha shit.
So then we have how it ended by
Jennifer again, the dictionary people first hit all
the replies, and they blocked everyone who said

(11:03):
men or not women, and they deleted the
post. They're losing control the narrative.
They cannot silence us all anymore. They are
frantic keep shouting.
And
so then this ends with this person Billy
Brag, Women equal adult human female and no
amount of drugs, surgeries or skirts that go
spinning will change this. Look
interestingly enough. Billy Brag

(11:24):
picture is a female.
Yeah.
Is that I can't tell. It's... I don't
know what's happening there. Is that a female
or s trick.
Looks feminine the. I have bad site now
it is. Yeah.
Yeah. So yeah... I mean, it... I wish
I could... I wish I had clips from
the original
All the different... Whatever you could imagine them.
Mh. Down.

(11:45):
I like to think that the person running
the Miriam Webster Twitter account is a trans
named Webs. But his dead name is mary.
Is literally he's literally very webster.
Yeah. So if you go on to
their Twitter now. You can look at any
go to any post and they're still going,

(12:06):
it's a stop on them. Join in. If
you guys are right we wanna
every every... This is a fight everyone Mean
they can all have we know I fun
with this So if I'm just taking them
down,
It's time to leave Quest alone and start
going after Mary Webster. Yeah. Let's make push...
So to stick it to this authoritarian dictionary
tate shi.

(12:28):
I do like the idea that you guys
is podcast is like, those was often these,
like, remote teams like Quest.
Dictionary Hey, we. You want? Thousand people cared
about. It was the most popular
talk to. I think saying. If you Quest
and the dictionary are on the same level
of popularity. Yeah. Well like Mer webb
Like, not even them that their Twitter account

(12:49):
too. It's not like a... That's a fairly
known
dictionary Right? This this story. He's about comparison
This whole story is interesting. This is a
true story. I was on I was driving
up, it was, like, north here. There's was,
like a year or 2 ago. Is in,
like, Sandler Luis was so obi boat doing
comedy shows. Maybe. And there was like, an
antique shop, and they had, like a big
table at front that just had free and

(13:09):
it had a bunch of items. And 1
was, like, an old dictionary, like 1 of
old big blue the engineers is from, like
the 19 eighties. And I took it because
the reason I took Was like, oh, I
wanna get this to preserve. So I remember
what all the words
So I have proof Like, no. This word...
This is what this used to mean. Yeah.
You're wrong.

(13:29):
It was different. And you see, you look
up things in it. Like, I I I've...
It's fun sometimes to look up, like, like,
woman or
or use things. I I used think really
a is that are not what people are
trying to tell you they we know. Yeah.
Buddy, Eric has this is the insult dictionary.
Oh, yeah. That was old too, And it...
It's it goes through. Like, it has, like,
every race. It says call a man a

(13:49):
woman because that's it.
It's a whole Like it's the heart. Yeah.
It goes hard. It's very. Every... To alert
could've been.
Like, which ones sam into the microphone on,
Kevin.
And sort of that how about you know,
all these people dying on their hill. M.
Speak of dying on something.

(14:11):
Sharks caught in Brazil
test positive for cocaine.
The real story 13 sharks in the waters
off Brazil have tested positive for cocaine marine
biologist said in a new study. Marking the
first time the drug has been found in
the free ranging predators.
13 sharp nose sharp, Obviously, they have big

(14:32):
noses. Sharks they're doing... They're doing cocaine. They're
doing... They're sn and cocaine up their sharp
nose off. Yeah. 13 sharp no shark. So
were taken from the coast off of Rio
d jane aero and tested for cocaine? Because
I guess they just took the carts of
the the sharks of... What could we live?
It's test them for a cocaine. Do whatever.
So you've got your cocaine test kit? Yeah.

(14:54):
They just solve sharks, liver and muscles tested
positive for high levels of a coke cocaine
the study found, and the female sharks tested
had higher
concentrations of cocaine than the male sharks.
Which makes sense if you gone out in
La,
because anytime some honest hardworking working guy brings
the cocaine he paid for to a bar.
Girls wind up Yeah. Right? Think because it's

(15:15):
freebie year. Yeah exactly.
The scientists who dub the study cocaine shark
pos that this may show a show a
correlation between a shark, weight and size and
how it metabolize
cocaine
because that's information we needed to... I I
know, It sounds like the science.
Finally, we know how a shark weight and

(15:36):
size affect its metabolism of cocaine.
But the study noted that more research was
necessary.
Experts have multiple theories on how the elicit
substances are entering the water. It's possible that
illegal labs where cocaine is manufactured could be
to blame.
Scientists also said that it could be entering
the water way. Through the ex of drug
users Oh disgusting.

(15:59):
So it have to be so much. Yeah.
So they better test the pigeons on the
sidewalks of San Francisco too because there's a
lot of a lot of drug user extra
on there. List threatening sounding. Luke. 11.
Yeah.
A less likely theory is that packs of
cocaine
were lost or don't sea in the sharks
society the, which or the aid people who

(16:20):
had cocaine on them. I was wondering I
get those shark king's necklaces. There's some crack
sharks losing all the teeth
is net them in shit.
Maybe they didn't eat that. They didn't need
to crack it. Yeah. Like, you know, like,
or, like, the people, the drug mules, they,
like, tape all the drugs on them and
then they get, like, kicked out.
0II like to think that there was a
guy who went to the beach and did

(16:41):
cocaine and then just, like, swam 13 miles
out to sea and please. He was just
like I can make it to.
Been.
It's cigar.
Awesome.
Well, it would be hard to get cocaine
sharks.
Through through security at an airport, but, you
know what else isn't easy to get through.
Security at an. What's that Ethan? Mum monkey

(17:03):
remains were found in luggage at Boston airport.
Yeah.
Crowded Boston Logan international airport said the bag
contained dried fish. It's not a great opening
line.

dried fish man and so, on further
examination.
Airport agents discovered that it was in fact

Trevor says in here that is Bush meat
was his nickname in college. I don't know.
The traveler on Thursday carried about 8 pounds
of bush meat.
Impressive. The centers for disease control marked it
for destruction according to this Tb.

(20:13):
That sounds so metal. You are marketable to
truly
Also, how how hard is it to... Yeah.
How do you to mark for destruction mum
remains? When do you do blow online?
And there you go. They not destroyed already
I. Like, you destroy them further. But but
what do they have some guy that comes

(20:34):
out of Hazmat student and takes it back
and, like, inc it. It's probably just a
dog eats. Don't know. Yeah. Buddy's got spread
his trees. Got my monkey jerky. 4 sets
of mum fighter remains are found at the

his... Today at KA0...
Steve is stepping between Air force 1 and
his limo holding a Covid mask. And if
you put up the can we put up

like how he's face.

(21:18):
Oh
wow. That's biden right there. Well, air airport
agents around the country have encountered a ride
it meats,
bush meats. In 2022,
agents at Washington Dole airport confiscated charred bats.
20 19 officers at O hair and National
Airport intercepted about 32 pounds of rat meat,
men.

(21:38):
So would you guys eat... I would eat
all that. I would try. I would try
char bad. I'd try wrap. I I would
try have That would be pretty tough. I
think chart bad, I could I would eat
a mum monk. You eat a rat not.
Nope bad I need a bat over. Rhett.
That's what I'm saying what? Oh, I would
love to try a bat because here's the
thing. I don't know if this is true
that that was 1 of the things in
the beginning that they said, covid Must have

(22:00):
come for meeting Bat soup or remember that
holding thing. And everybody's is like, oh, that's
disgusting us of But then I I looked
it up, and they were warning people about
this for years. They were trying to shut
down those markets because they were like, if
you eat bats,
it can transfer this coronavirus.
To humans and... Because bats are spooky. Yeah.
But and hit ja.
But but what it made me think is,
like,

(22:20):
if if they've been warning people that if
you eat a bat it could transfer deadly
via to you and wipe out half the
world, and they still ate a bat. It
must be delicious. It must be great. Rusty
be really. They're like, oh, It's worth it.
Right. These bats are delicious.
I didn't make good pancakes.
Batter.
Oh my god. Look at that. I what
your neighborhood. That was a quick journey.

(22:45):
Anyway, nothing on the wrap meat. Like I'm
just fascinated by the the amount of 32
pounds of wrap that. That's a lot of
rats. That is like, that's

Hello kitty creators reveal beloved character is not
a cat.
To fan shock moon.
I'm not claiming to understand this either because
I've never understood the appeal of Hello Kitty.
Mh.
On the eighteenth of July San r the
Japanese entertainment company that... Oh, I have said

(29:05):
the different. So real. Japanese entertainment That would
be better for the pod. Yeah. That's created.
It'll cute. I'll make sure we stay Youtube.
There we go. That will take down. And
a down
revelation for the iconic character's fiftieth anniversary and
an appearance on the day show.
So director of 3 retail business development,
Jill, there's any sense. Shane Gill fans out

(29:26):
there. They gotta watch this podcast because they
me when I'm in better shape than his
c. Right. And you... Who will also do
offensive evasion. Yeah. There we go.
Perfect feel agents can handle. Man, they're stronger.
They're strong. And they... I don't know. They
just have a... Yeah. I feel like any
accent you can keep a lot which keep
alive because it, you know... Eventually, we'll get
to a a beautiful world where we can
just do all of them and yes. We'll

(29:47):
care on plausible. Because it's actually not offensive.
Yeah.
Alright,
so anyway.
So I said,
San Rio director of retail business development, Jill
Coke said,
hello Kitty is not a cat.
So she act... She actually... Oh, so here's
here's your explanation. She's act actually a little

(30:08):
girl born and raised in the suburbs in
London,
Coke added.
It's like,
like a, the media is saying that a
actually Joe Biden is fine. He is shutting.
He's not sick at all. He's not old.
She has a mom and a dad and
the twin sister mini. Who was also her
best friend. She enjoys baking cookies and making
new friends. Can't imagine this like if she

(30:30):
had a
a press cut conference. What is it? Right.
So bizarre.
Looked into a little bit because I was
confused because I didn't even know hello Kitty,
like, it's not a show. It's just a
prop. It's just a thing Get just products,
You know? III
look... When you send this to me or
when I saw in here, I clicked on
the link, and it is a new story.
Am I wrong, I Deja vu, I feel

(30:52):
like this would... Same controversy
happened like 5 or 6 years ago. Did
it? That it came out that... But this
is a new story It's current. Does anyone
else remember that? I I don't. I swear
this happened before that I was, like, a
thing where it was, like, oh, hello kitty
is really a girl, and there was, like,
the same...
Like,
Discussion of it. Like, I distinctly remember happening.
But now it's happening again. And I scrolled

(31:14):
through the article and, like, comments and there's
no reference to it having happened before. So
I don't know when they're at. Embracing bears
exactly the Mandela effect. Know, Are you just
sort a seer of the future? Mh. This
would be it. What, I would hate if
I could see in the visitor and this
is all I got to see.
You guys
you guys

(31:34):
you're never gonna believe what happens in 20
24
and of all the things that have happened
20 24.
I go, get this.
In July of 20 24,
right in between the week and the president...
1 president was shot in another step down.
The only thing I see is Hello Kitty
is really a girl. It is it is

(31:55):
pretty great to drop their story. I least
couldn't
It's such a like house anyone gonna pay
that 1. She continued a new cycle. Hello
Kitty weighs 3 apples and is 5 apples
tall.
All these specifics coming out 30 years later.
She continued revealing that Hello Kitty also has
a pet cat named
Charm Kitty at home.
So Ke Kitty has a kitty, but she's

(32:16):
not a kitty. She's a girl. She's... It's...
It makes those... It gets more and more
absurd because...
There's no little girl that's 3 app... Weighs
3 apples it is 5 apple tall. You
know what might weigh 3 apples and be
5 apple all.
A cat. Yeah.
And if she's a little girl, yeah. And

(32:36):
created 30 years ago, she's now A full
grown woman. Yeah. Correct.
Here they I get. I I get it
though. I think they probably went with Hello
Kitty because it would have been super... Creepy
to call the character hello little girl.
So I love they're like, so all you
grown men that were hello kitty chips. You
actually are pe files as we all thought.

(32:59):
Surprise surprise.
It just is such like the, like, dumbledore
coming out his day Yeah. Way later. It's
like, oh, maybe this will get a some
attention, like
App.
The revelation sparked a myriad of emotions and
fans ranging from denial to shock and later
confusion. I like it's a later confusion, not
immediate and then acceptance.

(33:21):
I have never going to the stairs.
That's... The element to the story that makes
me love it is that the idea people
really freaking out about this of all things.
I've never seen a human being with real
life whisk and carriers. Comment your posted to
the next. And then all caps. That is
a cannon. And I won't be gas lighted
like this. In

(33:42):
created by Saint rule, employees,
in 19 74
Hello Kit... What's the difference between that and
when Obama
says,
what do you say?
Oh wow. He tries to sound like a
Tall bang And he's so.
I'm bit being respectful. Well, the solution of

(34:03):
that is Obama might be a tunnel bang
guy.
Let's trans up now. Yeah. They can
can shake that 1 accent little thing. I
never I never seen I never seen the
real birth certificate. Yeah. Yeah.
Beer Think

(34:23):
I love he's, like, undercover taliban band and
he never thought to change his his middle
name or anything or... And also the only
giveaway is that he still says. Taliban in
the original act. He's just in there... Why
would they get that down yeah.
Oh, where where was III was reading all
these angry people have upset
oh, yeah. Shi sc. No. Oh, in 19

(34:44):
34, Hello kitty first appeared on a children's
coin purse.
She would to explain that the inspiration for
the character came from her childhood.
Not as a child, I got a small
white kitten for my father for a birthday
present.
We're learning a lot about hello kitty today.
Yeah. And it's also... She's still insist to
it's a girl. And she's like, it was
inspired by a kitten.

(35:07):
The truth was une earth by Hello Kitty
scholar,
Christine r.
Wow.
Thank gosh. Creating a hello kitty retrospective at
the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles.
She sent her notes to senator the. For
approval, And although the company was pleased with
the Hello Kitty ant anthropologists work. They corrected
1 striking in detail that Hello Kitty wasn't

(35:29):
in fact a girl.
I was corrected very firmly. Yan was set
of the time.
That's 1 correction San R made for my
script to the show.
Kitty is not a cat. They never ran
into this until now.
She's a cartoon character. She's a little girl.
She is a friend, but she's not a
cat. She's never depicted on all fours. She
walks and sits like a 2 legged creature.

(35:49):
See, I I think this is like the
snoop dogg given of smoke. Like, this is
all just the get mark. Getting for.
10. I think it's what it is. It's
like. Also, how pathetic that someone is a
hello kitty scholar. I play did a real
get a real job like podcast or comedian.
Right. Yeah. She could be a, an evolved
kitty where she's, now I'm, yeah. She's walking
up on 2 and she's like, a chimp...
Yeah. Chip kitty,

(36:11):
it kit pans. But I think I think
I think this is a P. Because that
I is something that's cut through is, like,
it's a girl not a, like, just the
whatever A chin chile, you know, If if
you're married...
Yeah. If you remember from last week's story,
she could be described as a 5 foot
tall big foot like creature.

(36:32):
She's a perpetual third grader, yan. Added. She
lives outside of London. I could go Not
a lot of people don't know the story
and a lot don't care. Including us. Yeah.
But it's interesting because Hello kitty emerged in
the seventies,
I didn't know that. And when the Japanese
and Japanese women
which part didn't you know that she evolved...
From the seventies. I don't know. Just read

(36:52):
that, like, 3 sentences ago, I didn't know
that I I didn't know I think because
I was just reading like a robot.
The Japanese and Japanese women were into Britain.
I guess, Britain was hot in Japan back
then. I didn't know that either. You learned
something every. Well. I mean, I've heard things
where it's like, Japanese video games or always,
like, white people where like the thing there.
So I don't know. So maybe they're just
always kind of idol. This is when the

(37:13):
Japanese weren't to Perpetual third grade lunges.
We can't make it clear what we're into,
though. Let's disguise it as yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. It's a child with a bald child
with little bumps on its head and whisk

(37:34):
coming command of its weird face. This would
be like the furry mascot then now I
would think. Right? Because it's like it's a
kid, but it's like, as fur and whisk
and stuff.
Oh, now that we talk about Japan's national
mascot. Let's talk about America's?
He's in a little bit of trouble.
Alaska officials warn in residents after a series
of strange violent bald eagle attacks.

(37:56):
You got bald aggressive. Aggressive bald eagles in
Alaska.
Have ruffled some feathers after attacking several people,
prompting local official officials to issue a warning.
Doesn't it say if they've tested the Eagles
for a cocaine.
But a bald a bald eagle attack. It...
As horrible, it sounds like awesome. I imagine
like goal. I imagine as someone's like streak

(38:17):
and the baldi he was hacking and, like,
fireworks are going off. And the national lay
of his playing in the bag. And naturally
sniff out comm. Yeah. Just
that marks a I would suspect them to
be economist. You know all called
well they're probably a Tag you because you're
1 of them taliban. Yeah.
I don't know talk about it. Gotta
at least 3 locals have been recently attacked

(38:38):
by the national bird in Ko, a town
located an island in the Gulf of Alaska,
And 1 of the attacks at Saint. Herman
Boat Harbor left victim's bleeding and needing stitches.
She's... Here's the I read that. I thought
that's an awesome reason to need stitches. Like,
it's cool to have, like, a cool car
story. Have have you guys ever needed stitches?

(38:59):
Yes. Do you have a cool story about
it? I stab my thumb with scissors? Yeah.
See it's lame. Yeah. Lame. Lame. It's not...
I I have 2
stitches stories and they're both terrible.
1,
you know that game when you're a kid
where, like, someone like toss you up and
catch you. Are you. When I was a
baby, my cousin who was a little, like,
like older she was a teenager at the

(39:19):
time. She was doing that, and she threw
my head into a light fix sure. Ceilings.
Makes lot. So I need stitches of that.
And then the other time that I need
stitches, it's because when I was, like, 3,
like, I don't know, Pet 3 or 4
years old. I was dancing to Michael Jackson's
beaded on my parents bed, and I fell
off and hit my head on the corner

(39:40):
of a piece of furniture. Oh, And I
still have, like, you have to look close.
I forget which eyebrows above. But they're they're
very a long time there's just a little
d. I still had a scarf from. So
I was technically 1 of the first little
boys scarred.
It's not clear why the majestic birds of
prey
are going after humans, but local officials have

(40:02):
warned residents to be wary.
We are advising harbor users in the area
to exercise caution and avoid the area if
possible.
Our harbor staff have taken to holding something
above their heads when they're near the nest.
It's a harbor bastard David Johnson because eagles
eagles will tip... This is the real. They
said this Eagles will typically go after the

(40:23):
highest point of a person that is visible
to them. I would assume probably because they're
trying to steal a to pay.
Grab a hair butter out yeah.
The eagles are still behaving aggressively.
But with the increased awareness, it seems the
number of successful attacks has decreased from last
week. I don't know what these particular Freedom...

(40:45):
I don't the guy said, I don't know
what has these particular freedom chicken so upset.
Freedom chicken and hopefully they get over it
soon. That's a that guy Johnson, the harbor
master.
I've never heard of eagles being called Freedom
chickens, but now I'm gonna start calling chickens
lunch eagles.
I've walked these docs for over 40 years

(41:05):
and never expected to be attacked by a
bald eagle, a majestic symbol of our freedom
said 1 victim
It felt like someone took a 2 by
4 to the back of my dad. Jeez.
I mean, I wonder... Have you guys heard
about, like, watching eagles, like Nest and stuff
and you're waiting for them to hat? Seen
that stuff I. They have, like, those those
nest cams. Yeah. Feel like I mean, I

(41:25):
wonder if it's like... I mean, last 1
I heard failed. So I wonder if they're
just like, mad. I everybody watching their family.
I just stopped watching.
And they gave there was 1 eagle at
some zoo that was trying to hatch an
egg and they gave him a rock to
sit on.
Baby there doesn't Maybe they're so hope I'm
think of all our. Yeah.
That's what I I'm thinking because
animals are we... You, as far as we

(41:47):
understand they evolve. Right? So as they slowly
get smarter over time, maybe they just suddenly
realized within been calling them bald this whole.
Yeah. Exactly. This like kill all.
You first hear, it sounds like a really
mocking name. And it's like, not. Yeah. Majestic.
Sounding. And they're Oh, like, they've been calling
us bald Eagles in big foot wait till
you hear what they've been calling you.

(42:14):

kids. So fascinating that a guy that I
know actually made the movie. He actually took
all this time and money and spent all
this effort to make a movie about this
this stupid his conspiracy ever known. His name's
Patrick. And he's right here in the middle
of us.
This was... He... He... Let me read the

(44:22):
script. This isn't joke... It was an awesome
script I loved it. Like it was actually
here too were the first one's the re.
I and Such a great idea. It's very...
We read it together holding your hair. Yes.

and then you came back to me couple
of days later Was like, oh, Never sent

I usually don't respond the first time and
then wait if they really persist to then
My right. Yeah.
Yeah. You're hungry ultra.
But, yeah, No. It turned out really well.

(45:04):
We actually had a previous house Trevor was
in it too Oh, as. Yeah. And I
played it a few little festivals and stuff.
Where can people check it out? It's on
Youtube on the birds aren't real, and I
think put the link in the show notes

Find out, are the birds real or not?
Take a watch. Take let's take a watch.

(45:24):
Right? I will say, like, at the at
the b and the way, I didn't realize
how much people, like, who make these means
read reviews... Yeah. So it's, when you write
it, we will read it down. Yeah.
Unless you interview got Musk, switch then
this it's really hard to read all the
little bit what was there.
Which is we're gonna talk about.

(45:45):
So which that was a great segment and
that trying to do that. But
so we were talking and
yi elon musk is always in the news,
but we're talking about how, you know, Patrick
used... You know, we always thinking oh, what's
our funny story to tell and Patrick for
him 1 of his funny stories is...
I mean, he basically caused us to interview
elon months when we worked back at the

(46:06):
Babylon b.
And I've always wanted to talk about, you
know, when I... I just ended up having
to asked the... Being the guy that had
to asked the question, we'll get to that.
But but I asked III witnessed deal elon
musk.
Ask be on some tried that you share
the gospel the gospel with them. Yeah. So...
And there is all a big odd bunch
of sponsors of that and then and... But

(46:27):
it was right after that interview is when
I just got atom by the on Beat.
I didn't have a job there anymore. I
never really got to, like, talk about it.
Right, that experience.
And so for you today, be good deal.
Let's just talk about that whole... That whole
thing and and that,
that moment and... Right. So let's start with
Patrick. Patrick, you set the stage. Well, like,
so 1 of the things I always always

(46:48):
thought, which hopefully we can bring it back
this is I remember
back in that point. We had never gotten
into, like, a million view video. So that
was right of a big. That was like,
we're. We're getting close. Right? Close, and everyone
was, like wanting to get and I was
starting.
Did you try going after Quest? I
So I try it drums up the. Yeah.
They like on the same of those Mer
webster dictionary

(47:10):
to
which is like the leading dictionary. I mean,
it's a leading dictionary. I just feel like
an of the pin that's like
your age. Yeah.
So
I was starting... I have found out,
when I was there at the b that,
like, on the Twitter account that if you
follow each other, you can start dm people.

(47:30):
And so I started to, like, Dm just
anybody I could think of because I was
the same that was falling. Yeah. Because I
was like, following you to the. Yeah. So
I sorry, like, I remember, like, D, like,
Joe Rogan. I think Ibm dm, like, Neil
Brennan and he get got back to us.
There's no surprises in there. There's some surprises
I was like. Yeah. Was New brandon. Really
so cool. It was so fun talking it.
Yeah. That's so you back talk to him

(47:50):
I so I really wanted to talk No
bread was great. Yet. Yeah. So I was
I'm really excited about that. So I kinda
like, I'm invincible, and
I ever it was really funny because we
had just done this interview with,
the fight for fighting guy. Alright. That. Yeah.
I know. Never got Yeah. Never got air.
And that was walking that 1 never aired.
No. Because there's was sally It's was really

(48:11):
fun. Yeah yeah. So I remember that was
a really fun interview Remember Was like, wow,
We're in. The big. We
he's sing a song because... Yeah. I heard
it was something about dead puppies, Yeah, Covid
puppies because something about they tested on pop
fees, I think. It was really. And I
remember, like, been in there and I was,
John On. John On Tracy. Basically. He's cool
guy was still keep in touch. Yeah. And
I've I've been him a few times since

(48:32):
he's he's awesome. Yeah. He's really cool. And
it was just like... And, like, just watching
him, like, perform and being, like, in the
room with them was great. But So I
remember I was this... I happened to be
in my parents place. I'd moved out by
that point letter. I know. No. This is
why I felt even more like, a leak
yourself. It's in there editing that interview.
And I don't know why I look on
the Twitter page of Elon Musk, because I

(48:52):
think, like, Seth had maybe, like, sent some
tweet out about it. And that was always
the thing kinda running in our slacks that
we were, like, 1 day we'll get Elon
musk the you the be... You say running
in our slack. I I like that phrase
also.
That's sorry. No. That's what Jim tal it's
solved. When you're when you're working on Slack.
She should be I'm running in.
I was even way dirtier than that? I.

(49:15):
It was... I was so horrendous. Not not
we're wrong.
But,
So it was... So I remember just looking
black is an app people talk about. Where
fuel know that's Yeah. Yeah. K. So
I remember looking on Twitter though and I
saw that Elon Musk was following us and
that it's Dms were open. And I was
like, there's so weird. Why wouldn't no 1
had messaged him. And I looked at it,

(49:37):
And I basically, like, copy a response, I
had done to everybody, like, an open, you,
introduction. Yeah. I kinda just elon musk with
a to whom it makes yes. Pretty much.
So dear sir or Madam.
I was like, I was, like, dear eli.
We'd love that Have you on the podcast.
It was just like that, and I was,
like, and I remember just like, going back
to editing. And then suddenly, it was just

(49:58):
like, the 3 little dots popped up. My
And I just remember the panic, and I'm
like, just sitting in my parents and Was
like, what do I do?
So you sent back
I deal on Musk talk and really felt
like that. And then like...
He sent back a thing like, you guys
are in California.
I was like, what do I? What do
I do? I was like, yeah. We're in

(50:18):
California.
And then he sent back a meme
that said something like,
oh it, do you mean... I was like,
why aren't you in Texas? And it was
like, a meme about Texas? Oh. And I
was like, did the richest math world have
a meme ready to go to the 1
she sent to me. That it's so. You
just send it... And Dm I'm Dm and
Elon and my parents

(50:39):
like house.
And I'm like, and so I start messaging,
like, everybody like, I'm my dm what do
I tell what I to do with a
quiver in your throat? Yeah. I was, like,
I'm a messaging Elon. I was like, I'm
not prepared. I'm not flying up for this.
And he's probably that fast because he probably
already has a neuro link in his brain
that he just... He just thinks that meme
You shaking. He thinks about a meme and
it instantly peers. Yeah. That's what I was

(51:01):
figuring. Yeah. And then I just remember, like,
I messaged him and then Seth, I think
took over, and then he he basically said,
like, we'll interview
we we'll come to you basically and. Elon
just a deal. And that was it. That
was all the thing we had was like,
what said when. Like, yeah. I think we
said when. He was, like how about this
weekend? And he said, come to Texas and
it's a deal. And it was Thursday. It

(51:21):
was Thursday and we were out there by,
like, Saturday, I think. Right? But so, okay.
So this... So you called Yes. So then
I'm, like,
when you called me, suddenly it was, like,
we're go for an interview on Sunday.
That means we have to arrange travel and,
like, also, we need to find a studio.
Yeah. I've never done this. Like, I as...
No. I've never done anything like this. So

(51:43):
I'm the 1 calling all over.
I started off calling all these studios, and
then I was like, gosh, what what did
I do? I I found... So I actually
searched something in austin. I found somebody is
actually, like, a big film guy in the
Austin area. Oh, yeah instead, and I just
messaged him cold. I was like, hey, you
don't know. I don't know you. But I,
I you know, do you know a place
that could do something like this an interview

(52:04):
with a big... Person little secret, you know,
keep it secret,
whatever, but, like, nice quality, Blah blah. So
he directed me to a great spot for
that. You, it worked out really well. But
we
got it all set up, but it was
the most stress... 1 of the most stressful,
like, hour or 2 or 3
because, I I remember plans kept changing or
just, I remember it was like, really intense.

(52:26):
It was, like, going back and forth. I
was... Like who's gonna go? Who's not gonna
go Yeah. It was like... Yeah. For a
while. Everyone's like, Kyle was Kyle doesn't wanna
go. He's to, he wants to go to
Disneyland.
Which is a constant thing.
So was is Disneyland. It was a constant.
But I've remember flying out there. We were
still like. We're not completely sure if he

(52:46):
was gonna do it or not. Yeah. Yeah.
And Think, at that point, he hadn't been
on many interviews. Like he'd done Yeah. Broken,
but he's such a sought after interview. I
crazy.
Alright.
Yeah. And then... So then we get out
there, and I remembered, like, we were preparing
with brandon in and the lights and everything,
and we were like... Just kinda going in
there. And I remember everyone came in and

(53:06):
we're kinda just sitting there, like, is he
gonna come when come. And I remember, like,
Michael Malice showed up is kinda of, like,
a backup interview. That I was the plan
to we we we didn't really know if
he was gonna come Furniture until he arrived
when he... Because all we had was just
to that him like, see you Sunday or
whatever Just you a meme. And then the
said I get yeah. That's a. I guess
that's a... Generally always gonna to see a
sunday. There's no, like, hey, I'm a Elon

(53:28):
assistant let's set this up on Google. Calendars
or something like that. Yeah. Nothing else all
the way till. I think I think someone
may had talked to seth, like, what's the
address. It was like, a there's any bit
of there. On the day up. They have,
like, clearly close to the. So we
we couldn't have... If we had waited for
somebody to confirm it and it never to
happen. Right. So we flew out there on
that, tweet tweet. But system some seth spend

(53:50):
much money. And he is all of the
really alright. See what happens here.
Yeah. And then it was like, I just
remember, like, myself going back and forth, like,
because we was, like, all of us had
the cameras all set up where I'd, like,
the sound guy. And I just remember, like,
going back and forth and then suddenly that
was just, like, staring and thinking once. Face.
But I never... I can't remember it was
just, looking directly hated of the sun. It
kinda was. Since I remember he, like, I

(54:12):
think he put out his hand and he
was, like, Elon, and I think I just
shook his hand and I said, I know.
Yeah. I was ready to just show he
he's walked in and, yeah. Yeah I remember
really case a bit before I was like
Hour before or something that I was out
front smoking a cigar to... Call my nerves
and
I was strangely not that nervous for it.
The weird thing for me is I didn't
know much about at the time. I had
never dreamed of interviewing and I didn't really

(54:33):
have questions for him. Yeah. Why I ended
being the guy just like, asking all the
stupid joke questions.
But I remember when we were standing and
I was my cigar talking to Michael Malice.
Who's such a great guy.
I kept noticing all the same weird homeless
guy walking by. 1 was biking by. 1
was coming.
Walking by 1 was sitting over here, and

(54:54):
it was so weird to how they were
on repeat, like, Npc in a video game,
and they all had sunglasses enough Yeah And
Remember there's, like a biker just by buy
Yeah.
Buy. Yeah. And, that's weird. Because Elon seemed
to suggest that if we left California, we
wouldn't have to deal with. That. Yeah
I guess there's homeless
exist to

(55:14):
they were like not. And also like, the
1 homeless guy like, he looked homeless, but
he block very bold. Like guy go oh,
nice confident homeless almost. He didn't do his,
like, he he didn't he should've have, like,
a meth Limp or something.
Though that was a fun moment though when
and it was like, oh, just sit sitting
outside. Like, just kinda open like, when what's
gonna happen? Yeah You suddenly me realize. Usually,
all the homeless people are dressed to press

(55:34):
lemons us.
Yeah. And then Yes. Yeah. Then then the
interview was she started. Yeah which she was
like, and that was weird. Yeah. That just
happened. Because he sat down and he just
started talking like, I guess, it started. Yeah.
There was no, like, intro or anything. It
was kinda just like, so who are you
guys? Why I'm here? Like, it's like, he

(55:56):
started interviewing like them? But, he's still asking
this question.
And I said there very quietly for about
30 minutes straight. Yeah.
Because I and Think part was that I
knew that my question was gonna be... It's...
Stupid joke question, which is what I always
do.
Because I knew Seth was gonna only asking
all the straight. You know, Seth and Kyle,
especially Seth, they're big fans of of musk

(56:17):
map a huge fan. Mh.
He would have had a million questions. These
guys had all these questions ready to go,
I do, like I wanted to be the
funny guy, but then I noticed anytime they
tried to crack a joke. He took a
completely seriously and then he answered it for,
like, 15 minutes.
He which is awesome. Yeah. Says I love
You asked the right Joe love that. Yeah.
So I...

(56:39):
That was the kind of the thing that
I picked up on as I started, I
had to kind of introduce... I had to
introduce my question
with some kind of a joke. I can't
remember how I went into my first question.
Or what it was. But
so I... Because I do think that it
it... The the the interview did start to
loosen up a bit as it went on
Mh because I did get some questions in
and I think they landed as jokes. Which

(57:00):
is so part at first. So what's confusing
No
so what me Brandon ended did on the
interview too is that we actually switched things
around a lot. Yeah, yeah. How much did
you switch your room? I think we... Because
we took anything that felt like something that
was, like, had been done. So it almost
like, the first half was almost like the
last half, I think. Okay. So it's, like,
all your questions got moved up to the

(57:20):
front. So the best. Yeah. And
The thing I think people didn't realize too
is I... What me and Brandon did was,
like, you ever knew noticed they're, like Elon
and like Joe Rogan and reusing stuff. He
has, like, the longest like pauses. Yeah. Yeah.
He'll just go vegas Lot.
Yeah. And yeah. Like, it was allan on,
and I cut it all out. So it
actually sounds like he's remember how

(57:41):
how much time you guys actually cut out
in the? It was soma. I mean, I...
I mean, it was, like... That was a
thing 3 hour talk. Right? You should you
should see if they'll release a director's cut
of exclusively for 3 hours, 3 hours of
your elon musk butterfly just just pausing and
just going like,
cut And we did that.
I mean, you guys did that. I was

(58:01):
your support. Yeah. Caribbean airbnb Beaver but you
were working all night. Yeah. I was I
remember being all night. So brandon worked on,
like promos and we it's...
We could have gotten in the hotel room,
but Ethan brought his family and was like.
We ready this Airbnb that had 2 extra,
and a bedroom, and then if... Was there's
like 3 circular
those airs stream things, like a 2 Yeah.

(58:22):
So I chose that. I just remember editing
out side in there and, like, that little
airs stream thing became our little editing day.
Nice. But we were just like, editing outside,
editing in there all night lawn
And and I funny you throwback to right
now because that my whole family just had
stomach virus on that trip. My whole family
had stomach virus. I was somehow the only
1 who didn't get it. Yeah. Which I
was kinda So I had taken through tear

(58:43):
of my whole family in the air airbnb
all night that I before the interview. Yeah.
And I may have given Elon musk something
Yeah.
Which I'll think with that I was outside
there.
I was good read this by the way,
we we always meet up for dinner to
go over notes before this and ethan then
literally goes, I had a really bad stomach
virus this week, and then immediately accidentally goo
out of my ice tea glass.

(59:04):
Just... It just goes drink. Like, as he's
telling us he his stomach yeah.
He was like you was so bad. I'm
not sure if I'm over.
Alright. We both least giant you're all sized
iced teas with a giant straw of them
I just... They're are both in each side
of me. I got the wrong 1 of
sorry. Adam, I'm. I feel okay so far.
Yeah.

(59:25):
All, yeah. So I remember we added... I
remember you coming in at, like, 6 in
the morning and then I... I think I
slept for 1 hour. And you brought, like,
food to me. Yeah. With... So you guys...
Yeah. Oh, you cared for. Yeah. Scar you
guys Are trying to support them. That was
up most of the night too with you.
Yeah. Because we're editing out there and then
Yeah. Brandon was doing like promos, then I
was doing the interview and then we're like,

(59:46):
like, you guys need anything? What do you
want? I know, I went and got you
guys water burgers Something. Was...
I guess, that's the big view out there.
And I was
shocked
at a much brandon eats. Yeah. No. He...
I... What he ate... I I've never ordered
that much food and he did all 1
thing. And that's me. I have problems. Right
this slick thing. I'm I've shocked myself And

(01:00:08):
I've eaten food that would shock people, but
I was just amazed, and and... And he
acted like this is normal. Oh, yeah. No.
He's not... It's not fair.
Yeah. I mean, I remember, like, me and
him, like, going through. I was also sick.
I probably had Covid at the time too,
and I was, like going sick going to
the airport. We were, like, panicking when as
I were trying to edit these things Mh.
And I remember dry, like, flying back, brandon

(01:00:30):
took a pass on the edit, then I
took another passing in the edit. Mh And
I remember, actually, this is actually 1 of
my favorite memories of the b is we
came back. Editing on my, like, little, like,
600 dollar laptop that was, like, barely
chugging lawn to it.
And then finally, it was, like, done,
And I just remember, like, it was actually
really cool because, like, Ethan made, like, the

(01:00:54):
the the picture for.
Kyle was out there writing, like, the copy,
and then I just remember, like, posting it.
And then I was like, we feel like,
a newsroom. It was It was it was
really cool. I was like, I was like,
1 of my favorite memories because everyone was
just, like, came them together. Yeah. Dan was,
like, posting the thing on the other, it
was just like this covid Like, then we
wait. And we just... That video up and
wait to see the numbers coming in. Yeah
as was

(01:01:15):
Yeah. Again... And now I had been up
all night working on all that. Like... Because
this... O was after the... It got posted.
Mh.
He got.
He got up a bunch of backlash because
a portion of the video had been... I
was saying is the paid version, because which
is what we do every app every
episode of the subscriber portion,
that's for the, you know, subscribe, which we

(01:01:35):
would made a lot of money if people
would you probably made some.
So this subscriber portion, so Elon said, I
didn't need it for free. I'd appreciate you
guys just put the whole thing up for
free. Then... Said that's fine but that that
required
a whole list of things to do. Yeah.
Fix that. Patrick, don't you try that with
our subscription portion tonight?
Because that that's what I usually do. Nickel

(01:01:56):
Dime bubbles?
But.
Yeah. I do this for free.
That meant us taking down
our highest viewed video ever. Mh.
In replacing with another 1. Right. To please
to make so I I can't remember what
we did. We we did somewhere more, like
we kept the video. How we put it.
How many views was it at the time

(01:02:17):
unit? I think it was at a million.
I'm mean Oreo. Was it was Lisa it
was getting close to Million. I mean, we
unlisted it or something, and then, like, I
think we put I think we unlisted and
put the other out something like that, so
it didn't
go away. You you always find a way
to delete your.
Initial most successful video I didn't knew that
1.
Yeah. But I was I was doing clean
up on that all night that. Yeah. It
was like wild Yeah. And then we did,

(01:02:39):
like, breakout videos. It was just like, it
was a lot of stuff going on, and
I remember, like,
Just literally collapsing under my bed after, like,
putting that whole thing together by... So the
weird thing about this is that,
The subscriber portion is usually behind the pay
wall. It's a little more casual and it's
a little more inside joke. So we we
have the 10 questions we ask at time.

(01:02:59):
So this leads to the story that I
wanted to kinda talk about
is, you know, in our 10 questions, the
final question is always... Would you like to
accept Jesus Christ as your personal...
Actually, we go, oh, it it ended up
being... You do a. If you could do
me a quick solid and accept Jesus as
your personal lord and savior?

(01:03:20):
Which it it... Whenever because then the way
that the questions work is forever.
Starts. I can't remember it starts or just
a second. I'm not gonna math, but, like,
ends up on that question. Oh, I would
always hate 1. I hate lining up on
that question. Yeah.
And I always gotta start with it. Because...
Not because it... It I think it's probably
the same thing. It's not because I don't
mind sharing my faith people. Yeah. Yeah. Sort
of just this.

(01:03:41):
Awkward abbreviated way of doing it. Where kinda
feels like a joke and it kinds yeah.
And I never really know what tone or
what... Right. Right. And that's what what you're
supposed to
adding... Can you do me solid. Because I,
like trying to get really obviously a joke.
Yeah. Like, who would ever invites you guys
get. Yeah. Oh, hey, Bro. Used to me
a quick solid
Yeah For a Christian company, you know, We're
just like, yeah. We always have to do

(01:04:02):
invitation, otherwise. Yeah. They actually say that's what
mother Teresa did in India.
It's like my bring into guy gonna caught.
Do me a solid. He's gonna be a
quick yeah.
There's a, you yeah, Hitler's nurse over. Yeah.
You you got you got backlash though. I

(01:04:22):
seeing from pastors and And by the time
that came out because... So then so that's
bad that you didn't that... You know, and
understand it, but it is that awkward question
where people were saying, oh, why would you
do this sense... There was 2 different yes.
Right? So pastors I really respect,
god's men. Who's the guy is, like the
New Zealand guy that, like, witnesses to everybody
and like, Always All steam. No. What his

(01:04:43):
major?
Then out his
is up here. Who's laughing back there. What
is happening?
New Zealand
street. Oh, ray comfort. I didn't. Oh, yeah.
Ray comfort. Yeah. Yeah. He's great guys. He's
been on the podcast. Yeah. He was I
didn't get to interview, but yeah. Oh, okay.
I did. I didn't know who he was.
Yeah
I think I I don't even remember if
I did or not. I've I've met him.

(01:05:04):
It's more that name. But all these, like,
ap and all these, like, Christian thought leaders.
Whatever on... So they were all at videos.
There's... I put up in the, the picture
there of all these videos you search. Elon
Musk accept Christ. Tells was me as him.
You wanna do me a solid bro and
the except you this christ. Your first I
1 and say, of course, he took it
totally seriously, like, give him very long answer.

(01:05:26):
It was super awkward. But
The weirdest thing to me is that there
was to respond to that. There were the
people that were mentioning now they were, like,
dude you had... You had okay. And I
wanna talk about both.
First is when you had you had the
richest man of the world the most power
on this guy. Has all this powered influence
of stuff. You had the chance to ask
him to accept christ. And you blew it,
man and blew it.

(01:05:46):
Now
to me,
with anybody,
we were, like, 3 hours into conversation, but
it wasn't just me him 1 on 1
1 thing.
I would never, like, in a group setting
with a guy I just met in front
of everybody just be like, hey, can I
talk to you about accepting Jesus as your
personal learn savior right now? I understand Ray
comfort woody he has a whole thing where
he does that. And that's his gift clearly

(01:06:08):
not every Christian has a Youtube channel where
they're killing it with these slip conversions.
And and, I am kind of in a
way mocking that.
Are letting that's the joke. Yeah. Is that
that's always the that's always the like awkward
thing coming at the end of any Christian
event.
They'll they'll bring in, like, all the entertainment
and cool light show and Rock band,

(01:06:28):
and, like, what's up bro and funny skit,
then it's like, also the Piano use dressed
play. Yeah. It's a small way apart of
that. Right. Nice. Yeah. That was 1 criticism
we got that... I was part of Ellen
record breaking Oscar selfie.
You took the photo. Right?
Are you in there? Like, find your face
in there? No. I was just part of

(01:06:49):
the team that, Oh, it's not important.
I don't think any of them are Christian
technically of space he was in low
2 months. I remember our safe. Yeah.
Anyway, Yeah. I was just thought was a
fascinating moment,
the overall the interview, And that was something
I saw. I got some criticism people 2

(01:07:09):
for saying,
I... 1 of the questions I asked was,
like, why are you, like, why are you
talking to us? Like, why are we doing
this interview with you, You could be interviewing
anybody in the world
anybody wants talk to any continent.
And
and I saw like, dude, you got the
interview asking questions and ask him why he's
talking to you whatever I'm, like, but I
thought, like, that would in the moment,

(01:07:30):
why is it to span in the world?
Yeah. So with this christian conservative
little...
You know, you know, satire site. Right. And
I was fascinated by that, and I was
faster I what's it like to you rich?
So that's why I kept asking like, why
aren't you really won or batman or, like,
iron man. Yeah. I'm good here. And now
thanks to you Has riches in heaven.
Exactly. Yeah.
Do you think he made it through that

(01:07:51):
needle eye? I wanna say.
I don't know. The only thing I've seen
in the future is that hello Kitty is
actually a girl.
Hey, it's more than most people. Right now.
But yeah. Wild time. But then 10 and
the end of it was that it was
our first million video. So... Yeah. And then
we made and also lose my job. Yeah.
Cool.

(01:08:12):
Which Wasn't weird part Still mysterious whether that
y'all almost gonna be had anything to do
with me he was my job, but anyway,
yeah. It was a... It was anything on
a high note. For sure. Wow.
Yeah. So,
anyway...
So you guys seen any good movies lately.
You guys remember when we to the Cia
movie. I got a special. Fast got a
special screening of beetle juice beetle. Oh, yeah.
That's the second beetle juice that came out.

(01:08:34):
I wonder what the third 1 years off
to the first 1. Yeah. Fast
They handed us all I can't see anything
in the future. It's unclear.
There's only little girls everywhere. They had out
out to 3 sons.
Trust. Oh, man.
You got the only thing I... I mean,

(01:08:55):
I don't know. What do you guys think
of the first beetle use? These fans? Yeah.
I enjoyed the first I like the weirdness
of it. Yeah. I... I'd really defines to
be the eighties like, are the late eighties
early nineties the time were like. It felt
like anything Timber thing like Pee was big
adventures, you know. It's when I liked... Yeah.
It's the timber and I liked where Yes.
It wasn't like to be once it got
to where it hit, like, Alice Allison in
wonderland stuff where I was, like...

(01:09:16):
Alright. We get it. There's creepy fat ball
guy and there's, like, I got, everyone's got
black and white pip long stockings. Yeah. Like,
okay. We get everything curled on the end.
Yeah. What ends like it was fun, the
death, Like, the... What was it the purgatory
mode? Like, all that ads Like, he was
it was very fitting. All the weird formation
fit stretching and... Yeah.
So
I, in in the new 1,

(01:09:39):
I basically all that again. Yeah. And I
thought it was weird that this new 1,
it's all just... It's all just like this
product placement ad for actual beetle juice. Yeah.
You know, and they're just trying to sell
this new energy. They have other, like, potato
bars. Yeah. Yeah. I know. It's weird. Deal
just constantly drink this. It's part of this
new world order plot to make us all
eat bugs. Yes.

(01:10:00):
Because they're crunching it right into the movie.
I thought Michael Keaton doesn't age, but like,
yeah. Him in the beetle goose makeup.
From, like, before and now he actually somehow
looks older, but it's... He's got his makeup
on the you could make and look the
same. Right? So I have question and every
seriously older. I'm been very confused. Every other
time we've done this movie bit. Mh. We're
supposed to make something up and say it's

(01:10:21):
a movie that we didn't see. And And
I'm always confused by it and you always
commit. And this time, I've tried to make
something up and you're talking about actual Michael
Keaton and house his age. And you're taking
seriously.
New michael keep was he was in the
movie. Okay. There's 2 there's 2 of them.
It's 1 his...
His twin brother comes to town.
