Speaker 1 (00:00):
Joe Rogan and Elon Musk mocking MSNBC for claiming that
working out is a far right obsession and they probably
should be mocking this. MSNBC actually, for some reason retweeted
something that they had out during the pandemic, which got
mocked at the time. I don't remember if we were
talking about this at all, and we should have if
(00:21):
we missed it. MSNBC tweeted out the far rights obsession
with fitness is going digital. I'll get to the actual tweet.
It was a column from MSNBC. It appears the far
right has taken advantage of pandemic at home fitness trends
to expand its decade plus radicalization of physical mixed martial
arts MMA, and combat sport. In the combat sport space,
(00:47):
physical fitness has always been central to the far right.
In mind comp Hitler fixated on boxing and jiu jitsu,
believing they could help him create an army of millions
who was aggressive spirit and impeccably trained bodies, come with
fanatical love of fatherland would do more for the German
nation than any mediocre tactical weapons and training.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Meanwhile, in history, left wing militaries have rejected physical training
and grown fat and smoked pot and the rest of it.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Well, but it's just the fact that they tied these
things together. The MSNBC column briefly acknowledged that fitness is
not always a slipstream to the far right or Nazis
or white supremist extremist ideologies. Fitness, of course, is a
staple and a hobby for many people, for whom it
is enjoyable and rewarding for brain health. So just talking,
(01:38):
and not just because you're a burgeoning Nazi, no wonder.
Joe Rogan and Elon Musk mocked it. It's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I hate to be uncharitable, but you soft heads will
believe anything.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
How do you get that far off track that when
you hear a bunch of people are buying home gyms
during the pandemic, you tie it into right wingers wanting
to be Nazis.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I mean, no, no, not that the hell does that
have something to do with the fact that conservatives wanted
gym's open during COVID's baby fuel for the idiotic fire.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Of course, of course right wingers what gym's open so
they can train to be Nazis. That's exactly it.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Of course, Hey, you're on to us. Hey Michael plenty
fifteen again, I'm still working on my slogan.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Breakfast, lunch and dinner is from colonialism in white supremacy.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
So fight Hitler eat brunch? Is that fight the clan?
Eat brunch? I breakfast, lunch and dinners from white supremacy
and colonialism.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
So so show your inclusiveness. Snack, I guess is it?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Right up with diversity, eat some potato chips in the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Speaking to Elon Musk, the rapid rise of Threads. According
to the Wall Street Journal, that's the competitor to Elon's Twitter,
that Zuckerberg started what last Friday or something like that,
and quite a few people.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Who moved over.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
According to the Wall Street Journal, metas new app, Threads
hit one hundred million sign ups and the traffic on
Twitter has fallen significantly. That's cording to the Wall Street Journal.
The two products, if you don't know this, Twitter and
Threads look and function in similar ways. Both focus on
sharing short snippets of text, but allow users to post
(03:22):
photos and videos. One distinction is that joining Threads requires
having an account with Instagram, which has two billion monthly users,
which makes signing up very easy and fast. Though, and
this is confirmed now, deleting a Threads account means having
to delete your Instagram account, So keep that in mind
before you sign out, because lots of people love their Instagram.
(03:44):
And once you get on to Threads, then you know
you got something else you like tied to it. The
arrival of Threads, according to The Wall Street Journal, has
added more fuel to a long rivalry between Zuckerberg and
Elon Musk, which of course went into overdrive last month
when the men in tentatively agreed to a cage match.
(04:05):
I mean that sentence is a straight sentence. I gotto laughing. Yeah,
I know, I know, agreed to a cage match.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I'm not joining any social media crap that Mark Zuckerberg runs.
I'd rather get on Satan's Satan Graham or whatever. Hey, Michael,
play the door opening. Hey look, everybody is Satan himself,
the prince of darkness.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Hey, how you doing everybody? Technically speaking, really, there's no
line between me and Mark Zuckerberg. He's my embodiment on Earth.
It's kind of a metaphysical thing that don't get hung.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Up on it.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
When you think Satan, think Mark Zuckerberg, we're a brand.
One brand, We're a brand. Thanks for having me. Got
a run, boys, got it run.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Probably everybody devil probably go into the gym's Probably we
didn't do probably, So yeah, eating breakfast, lunch.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
And dinner and going to the gym as his kind
is wont to do.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Days after Threads made its debut, Elon Musk and I
thought this was actually kind of weak on Elon's part
accused Zuckerberg of poaching its employees to work on Threads.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
That whole poaching employees thing.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
People are gonna go where they're gonna go, and if
your place is better, they'll stay there, and if that
other place is better, they'll go there.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
And come on, that's kind of weak.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, if you're opening a chicken restaurant across town and
some of your chicken cookers go across town because they're
making more money, well, or maybe maybe you run a
store breakfast place that poaches eggs and you're workers butchers,
would you why would you describe it if they were
to be lured across town?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
And what if he's a guy who, in his spare
times kills or anos for their horns.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Poacher, poacher poachers. I had one more thought on this.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Oh, so your theory is that the reason Threads looks
just like Twitter and is basically the same thing is
it's Zuckerberg's not gonna say it out loud, but hey,
we're Twitter with but we're gonna we're the old Twitter.
We're gonna keep you know, conservative voices and thoughts and everything.
We'll we'll stop a New York Post under Biden's story
(06:12):
just like the old Twitter did.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yeah, we'll be the old lefty bubble Twitter. And honestly,
Elon bought Twitter out of pure annoyance with how unfair
they were to any moderate or conservative voices. That's a
that's a hell of a way to spend tens of
billions of dollars. That was I gotta believe he won't
do that again because he's gonna get hosed financially speaking.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Right, I think there's a decent chance that the movers
and shakers move over to Threads because they're mostly on
the left.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Twitter is.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
That's what drove Twitter for a long time, and I
think Twitter could be in real trouble
