Speaker 1 (00:00):
I like to partner. It really got into it right there.
He kind of dug in. Huh.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Back in the nineteen nineties, a white gay man from
England doing black voice was as inclusive as America needed
to be. That was a Hudah, isn't this Elton John?
I don't know, I don't know. No, No, it's Lebo
m Carmen Twilly.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Elton John saying that's he didn't do that part.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Sometimes when I'm hanging out with my friends and they
have a newborn baby or like a dog or something,
I'll lift up the baby or the dog and I'll
do that voice and people do not find it hilarious.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Imagine that. Ah's a Mobby bub You got the words
wrong too, That's a manga. My god.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
You don't know. You don't know what the lyrics are.
But I'm basically it on past history. How dare you?

Speaker 3 (00:42):
You know?

Speaker 2 (00:42):
There are some people that think that Disney has a
history with racist cartoons.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Did you have to see a nelison fly? Well, the
horse fly, I see the dragon fly, I see the
house fly.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
I seed all that too, I see the peanutstand.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Yeah, that's right. What I nothing about everything? When I
see a racist car to.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Right, here's the problem with the old racist cartoons and
I and I'm not proud to admit this out loud,
kind of funny. I'm just saying it's just objectively, it's
a little funny that wait, that was a thing they
showed to kids.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Is that that's crazy?

Speaker 2 (01:26):
You ever look at the old what was the name
of the cleaning lady on Tom and Jerry Mammy? I mean,
come on, that's pretty vividly what they're trying to we
get it, all right, So Disney, I've just received an
invitation here from my family to go visit Disney World
for a weekend with my goddaughter.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
And some fun for you. That'll be sweet.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
You know how old is a be Beatrice?

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Little that's my goddaughter. I adore her. She's the sweetest
thing on earth. Generally, I hate children, and I don't
want them anywhere near me, but I'll make an exception
for some of my family members.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
How little girl is three or four now, I'm not
maybe a little too soon for what for Disney? Yeah, well,
I don't think she's not really gonna get the everything
out of it that you could if you wait until
she was like seven, or eight, I would agree with
I don't think she won't remember it later. And really
that's why you take your kids to Disney, so later

(02:20):
they'll have to say, you know, we've been to Disney,
We've done that. We got to go do something else. Now,
you don't have to keep going back again and again.
But that kid at three ain't gonna remember it. When
she's eight and she'll be screaming, wow, I want to Disney,
and you're like, well, we took you there, but you
don't remember it.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
You know, the thing you take your kids to Disney
because it's a frugal, family friendly vacation idea. Frugal that's
cute enough in the invitation. Are they paying No? I
think I don't know. That doesn't been disguised. Honestly, here
is win lose on that one. Because as a forty
two year old single man with a relatively good job,

(02:56):
I could stay at the nicest hotel in Disney World
for the weekend.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
It would to make a temper. It's a suggestion. You
couldn't afford it. But if they're inviting you in that
kind of like a date, you know, if you invite
somebody to go with you to see a show you pay.
Somebody in your family invited you, and you don't really
want to go. I can tell by the look on
your face that you don't want to. So if they
want to convince you, then they ought to pay. Well,

(03:20):
here's the other side of the coin there.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Even though I could easily afford it, that's not a
problem because I'm a single, forty two year old man.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
There's the bump in the road. This isn't a little
odd for me to go to Disney.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Like, come on, if I met a guy that just
kind of vividly described me as a forty two year
old single man going on vacation for the weekend to
Disney World alone, I would honestly be very suspicious of
that guy, and I wouldn't want him near children, much
less in a giant theme park filled with thousands of
children in every direction.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
I take it when I actually I'm a little suspicious
of couples, not suspicious, but curious about couples that go
to Dizzy they don't have children that I find it
to be a little off footing.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
See, for women, it's about it's the princess fantasy, right
because like, as a fully grown woman, wants to be
a princess or whatever.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
But here's the problem. Do you know we all know
about Disney adults.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Uh huh. We've all seen the videos of like the
forty year old woman with no kids, plus sized xax
xx L underwear describing to you what do they call
it the Disney rash?

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Do you remember when we watched the video about the
Disney r Yeah, that's nice.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
They're these big, plump women that don't get a lot
of exercise, but when you go to Disney.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
World get a walk for miles.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
So they post these videos and photos of their cankels
looking all red and blushy. What the hell's wrong with
your leg? And then they describe it like it's normal.
They're like, well, we don't normally walk this much, So
we call it the Disney rash because when we go
to Disney, our skin pigmentation changes to an unhealthy color
because of that amount of physical activity isn't something our
bodies used to.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
You can imagine if them keinkels is messed up, you
can imagine what they up with thighs.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Oh, I have to thawing back and forth on there
for a while and forget about what it looks like,
what do you think it smells like?

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Stop it?

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Oh my god, no expired cottage cheese or something. Anyway,
don't just don't. If you're a single person.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
I'm telling you, just don't. But you just kept going,
didn't you.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Well, I'm not gonna go. I'm not gonna go to
Disney World. I'm gonna I'll send them a money for
a doll or something. Here take her on, is it?
I guess all the rides are included. What are the
upgrades of Disney World entail, like food or cut the
line or something?

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Nine thousand different ways to get that money out your pocket.
Buy like they like struples. They know how to vacuum
that wallet.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Remember when we saw a video of I believe it's
called the Bibity Bobbity Boutique, which if you're at Disney
World and your daughter is obsessed with princesses and you
want to drop a grand on an outfit she's only
gonna wear when she's eating chocolate syrup or something like,
you could go to this place and they'll dress her
up like a princess and with all the upgrades and
the wand and the tier and all that.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
But and here's the reason why I remember this video.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
The person working in the Biboty Bobbity boutique was a
man about my age wearing one of the dresses with
he had a mustache.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
He's clearly a guy. That's unfortunate.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
And Disney put this video out there because they wanted
you to know, you know, boys could do it too.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
We're down with this tram stuff, letting me like you
to think that this is normal. This is just you don't.
I don't. But they know these little kids, they're little mushheads.
They're ready to be brainwashed. And you supposed see that
and think, well, that's fine, that's okay, that's safe, And
it ain't safe. Believe me. Here's what I wonder.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
You know, they had to have had a meeting at
the Disney corporate office. We're like, all right, how do
we get more people to buy more stupid crap? And
they say, you know, really, we're just marketing dresses to
little girls.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Yeah, that's you know, half of our audience that isn't
buying anything. We got to sell these dresses to boys.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
But there's this new movement out there where they're gender
affirming care. They call it where they're spending absurd amounts
of money to experiment on children.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Experiment on kids. What do you mean, you know, like
the Nazis during World War Two they did that stuff.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, it's a lot. I it's a lot like that,
but it's profitable. They're not just doing it because they're
sick and deranged. They're sick of deranged, but they get
a million dollar paycheck. Oh well, then that's different. Now
Here at your favorite Disney theme park, we're not actually
selling puberty blockers, but we could just sell the outfits
for the kids who got the puberty block I mean,
what the accessories, you know?

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah, because you got to make some money on that merch, right,
I mean we don't make much, be honest with you,
but we do have some merch. It ain't trans or nothing.
Maybe that's our problem. We'd probably sell more if we
just put all that trans merch up their right, Okay, yeah,
well probably right. Not telling anybody that they can't buy
a T shirt. But the problem is even these trans people,

(07:49):
the ones that are really pushing it hard, all the
different genders and whatnot, when you go to buy their merch, Yeah,
do you find merch for men and merch for women.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Those are the only two choices. And guess who's making
that merch. It's a different discussion all together. But children
in China. But yeah, but hey, in the wake of
the glorious snow White train wreck, you know that movie
is hemorrhaging money. I don't think that Rachel Zeggler's ever
gonna do a movie again after this one. The groomers
at Disney have pulled the plug on a live action

(08:20):
remake of Tangled. Tangled was a twenty ten box office hit,
very populous.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
It was about the girl with the hair Rapunzel. Sure,
I'm impressed you knew that. I knew it was about
the girl with the hair. Well, I got kid and
it was in the news. So yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Anyway, so they were gonna do the movie live action,
they decided not to. Snow White didn't just bomb. It
bombed in a way where the ripple effects wiped out
other movies.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
It's pretty powerful.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Disney is now rethinking its approach to live action films
like Tangled, and you really got to wonder maybe all
you had to do to make money off snow White
was not cast an actress who openly hates America In
one third of the country and hates the movie.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
And hates the Jews.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah, she hated the movie and was proud to hate
the movie. Yeah, that was kind of weird. When she's
supposed to go on the promotional tour, you know where
they bring out these these so called celebrities, and they
took Hey, tell us about your new movie. And when
she told us about her new movie, crapped all over it.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Right, you know, if you really think about it, the
fact that the Snow White remake didn't make any money,
it's it must have been hard to do that. It
must have been hard for this thing to fail. All
you had to do was do a live action version
as similar to the original as possible. Yeah, the original
is considered by most film officionados to be a masterpiece classic.

(09:41):
We had never seen anything like it before. The animation
was incredible, the movie, the songs. You know, I've not
seen the new movie. Apparently it doesn't include the original songs. Well, no,
of course not.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
You didn't include high ho and also doesn't seem to
have a lot of dwarfs in it either. Well, they
were told don't hire, don't hear dwarves to play dwarfs.
That was how the whole thing started.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Peter Dinglish casting shame on Disney saying you better not
hire dwarfs. And you know, for the record, I'll even
defend him for that because it's competition for him. He
doesn't want other people. If he could use wokism to
keep his industry from hiring more people he has to
compete with for a film.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Role, he gets every job that should go to a
small person.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
I don't blame him for trying to do that, that's makes.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Sense, but i'm him. But Disney shouldn't have listened to him.
And then ultimately they ended up doing a one to
eighty on it. They're like, all right, we'll put the
dwarves back in, but we'll make them cgi.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
So they did.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
It ended up being this movie where Rachel Zegler's just
in front of a green screen, Uh huh, and.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Weirdly enough, singing ho ho. I mean, why have a
snow white movie if you don't get to see the
little little dwarfs walking along singing ho ho, Because that's
how they were going off to work. You know, how
you get that work spirit that we're gonna go, We're
gonna accomplish something and we're gonna make this a great day.
Eh No, we don't do that anymore. Yeah, they didn't sing.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
And now, amazingly, with Rachel Zegler exiting Hollywood, some people
are saying, by ho.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Johnny Ringo, you looked like somebody had just walked over
your grave. Stay tuned for more, Waltman Johnson? Is it
sposed to sound like that? Or did somebody break something?

Speaker 2 (11:18):
You wouldn't understand this billy that's more of a me
and Steve Johnson thing. That's atomic punk by Van Halen.
It's off their first album, Yes, kick Ass. Yeah, that's
not really a billy ed Hatfield. Okay, you're not gonna understand,
Eddie van Halen. You know what's funny is in radio.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
I don't know if you've ever noticed this or out,
but in the world of radio, where they try to
get people to stay tuned as long as possible, they
want to force them to go somewhere else. They want
them to listen a lot of times, the radio stations
that play songs, yeah, they'll cut all that beginning crap
out because they know that's gonna make people turn it off.
And then they just get right to the song right

(11:54):
into the meat of it. That the popular part. Well,
I'm glad you brought that up. Box.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
I'm happy to explain how radio were to you that
part of the song that you didn't like. Most of
the listeners didn't hear it because we were coming back
from break. That's why we waited until they were back. Yeah,
that's start talking the good point. Yeah, Hey, you know what,
if you didn't like that music, maybe you'll like this.
You may remember about a decade ago, this music was
used a lot in Apple iPhone computer commercials. That sort

(12:20):
of thing sounds familiar. Yeah, you used to play in
the back. Here at Apple, we like to brainwash your
kids with little devices that work the same way as
slot machine works.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
But the way the parents heard it is here at Apple,
we like to babysit your kids. Yeah, devices with screens
on them, so that you don't have to be bothered
or be a parent. Really, just tack a screen in
front of your kid's face and then move on with
your life. At Apple, we know you don't really like
your kids.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah, you mostly had them out of obligation or accident,
So hand them this tablet and you could spend more
time taking opioids and watching TV.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
You'll be less annoyed. You're gonna love it all right.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
So apparently all week long people have been rushing out
to the cell phone stores, probably mostly T Mobile because
that's the best, and trying to get cheaper iPhones because
they know that in the coming days there's gonna be
these tariffs.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
And we'll get ahead of them turffs that are going
to make things more expensive, are they?

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Well, it's an interesting question, right, Probably in the short term, yes,
kind of like going to the gym. You work out
a little bit today and you feel sore, so that
you can look better in a month or two.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Makes sense. Now if the next day after you worked
out and Kenny lifts, so I think he knows what
he did. You guys know I left I heard about it.
I left it yesterday. If you go and lift and
then you wake up and you're all sore the next day, yeah,
I guess the mindset of most people is, well, don't
do that again. I'm not gonna go do that. It

(13:43):
made me hurt. And then there's a few people like
Kenny who power through the pain and they say the
pain is why we get the gain. And then you
go back and you do some more lifting. Maybe you
get sore some more, but you also get stronger, don't you.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah, But the whole point is you're uncomfortable today, so
you could be more comfortable later.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
On, maybe live longer.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Most of your life, most of your childhood, your adolescents,
wherever you went to public school, you read the Bible,
at some point you were exposed to this lesson. If
you put in some work now, if it's a little
uncomfortable now, it'll be better for you later. So that
logic could certainly apply to this tariff war. And I
want to be clear, this is not how I would
do it. But I'm objective enough, I'm pragmatic enough to

(14:27):
realize there's more than one way to do something.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
You're also not a billionaire who made is a fortune
in business. Yeah, so well there's that.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
When it comes to seven or eight of the big
policies that Trump has, I agree with seven of them,
and I'm still not sure about number eight. But I
will tell you I think he could be onto something.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Here is eight the tariff.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah, I mean, I named my dog Milton Friedman. I
don't love tariffs. I don't like taxes.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
But also at the same time, there's no doubt that
our tariffs are unfair.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Isn't the point of the tariffs to take tariffs off
of us?

Speaker 2 (15:01):
The point for most people would agree that that's what's happening.
There's a handful of people in the MAGA movement making
this insane point that we should keep these tariffs forever
it'll be better for America.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
And I would use I don't. The tariff's a tool.
It's a negotiation tool. If country a over there is
charging US ten percent on all the stuff that we
have to get from them, then we should be able
to charge them the same amount when they get stuff
from us.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
And I'm willing to believe that's true. But there are
people in the MAGA movement, and I don't think they're
the majority, but they're allowed outspoken minority that are actually saying, no,
let's keep the tariffs forever, and like, no, no, idiot, No,
we want to have a global economy. We just don't
want a global economy that's unfair for us.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
It's just kind of like you taking off your clothes
so that she'll take off her clothes. You know, you
want to see your naked right, Yeah, but you don't
stand there with all your clothes. Oh, while she gives naked,
do you get years off too?

Speaker 2 (15:57):
So she feels more. It's a reciprocal nudism. It depends
did I pay her already for this?

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Or am I always you know that? Am I at
Homer in a nightclub?

Speaker 2 (16:06):
I got kicked out of a club once for trying
to do what the dancers on stage we're doing. Boy
told me not to do that. But all that being said,
nobody wanted to see your boobs. It's true, no they didn't.
There's an expert, an expert now predicting that if Apple
was forced to make iPhones in the United States from
China because of the tariffs, it would cost more to
buy an iPhone if it was made in America than

(16:27):
if it was made in China.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Put because we don't have currently, we don't have slave
lab but like the Chinese have got.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Now before everybody changes the channel and says, oh, I
don't agree with this. Hang on here what this guy says,
because I think there's an important point that needs to
be made here. But yeah, he's missing out on a
big part of how this works. But first, here's Dan
ives of the global head of Technology research at web
Bush Securities.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Fancy who doesn't love web Bush Securities.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
I'd be like me watching an NBA game be like, oh,
it's easy to score a basket. The reality is it's
the most complex supplied in the world and they're able
to make them at one thousand dollars is because of
the supply chain that's really been built over the last decade.
You build that in the US, there'll be thirty five
hundred dollar iPhones. It would take Apple thirty billion dollars

(17:16):
and three years to move just ten percent of the
supply chain into the US.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Dan Ives this soone's a little exaggerated to me for
fear factoring.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
But also even if it was true, dan Ives is
thinking in terms of a twenty fifteen economy. He's not
thinking in terms of a twenty thirty economy. He's thinking
in terms of twenty fifteen manufacturing. He's not thinking in
terms of where we're going to be in five years.
In twenty fifteen, most manufacturing was done, especially when it
came to iPhones, by little children in China with tiny

(17:47):
hands sitting there for twelve hours a day.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
It helps. Have you ever busted open one them phones.
That stuff inside there teeny tiny. You gotta having little
fingers and probably some tweezers to get that put together.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Now, robotics existed, you know, ten fifteen years ago. I'm
not suggesting it didn't, But the technology on robotics over
the last decade has changed dramatically. It's changed dramatically over
the last two or three years. And the reason why
is because of artificial intelligence, not incimination. I beg your pardon,
artificial insemination. No, that's a yeah, that's a totally thank you.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Artificial intelligence.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
No, mister kennib's totally you're right, No, you're correct. That's
a different thing. Robotics are going to change this whole thing.
If we were competing with China for manufacturing using a
mostly human labor economy, they would beat us.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
They would they would eat us for lunch.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
There's no way we're going to be able to beat
a country that doesn't care about the human rights of
their own people to the point where they're willing to
have child slave labor.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
They got plenty of them, and they don't care about
them because they know they got so many, they'll just
replace them with the next one.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
But in five years, in ten years, even in China,
children are not going to be manufacturing stuff. And it
won't be because they suddenly learned to care about their citizens.
It's going to be because robotics will be able to
do the job much better. AI and robotics are going
to make a small child in China absolutely obsolete.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
And we can compete with that.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
We can build robots in the United States to compete
with China's robots.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, but how much do the Chinese robots cost? That's
another cost to do in business. Were we're listening to
