Speaker 1 (00:00):
Christopher Media. Let's make some noise from Asthma CORR Studios
near Detroit, Michigan. It's the Weedsman Podcast. And now you
have smoked yourself retarded. He're the Weedsmen.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Get Welcome to the Weedsman Podcast. I'm Chris, I'm Aaron.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Welcome back.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Spring.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
It's construction season.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yes, spring has sprung, construction season.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Time to fix all those holes from.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
It was seventy a week ago and two days later.
I'm not joking. It was like in the twenties.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Yep, that's gonna be up and down.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
It has been typical schizo Michigan spring. The weather needs
a fucking uh uh. I'm trying to think of shit.
My ex wife took some anti anxiety med, some bipolar med.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Weather just needs to calm down. Oh, don't tell them
to call down.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
So funny story, right, A couple of weeks ago. You know,
my girlfriend has a nine year old and four year
old four year old girl. Yeah, and the nine year
old told the four year old that she was being emotional.
I was like, WHOA. I was like, I'm not there.
I feel I need to step in as a man
(01:23):
and be like, just strike that from your vocabulary. Now,
do not use that on your mom, Do not use
that on your grandmother. Do not use that on anybody
you date in the future. Just get that Like.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
There's no woman that it worth, there's no person that
it works on. It just doesn't get to dude the
way it does the.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Cat over there is a girl. You might not want
to say it to the cat, like, just want to
be like, buddy, this is this is a teachable moment,
Like just while it can be true, you do not
vocalize it because guess what, the four year girl didn't
take kindly to it. Shocking.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Well, it's just gonna yeah, it's just gonna make him
more quote uncuot yes, emotional.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Because I even joked when you told me that, I
was like, buddy, yeah, I said out. I said I
would don't use that on older girls either, Like.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, did you see the did you see the Trump portrait?
And he's all upset about No, why is he nudews
like an official person. I mean, I don't know how
many portraits that this person has done, but there's like
a bunch of presidential portraits hanging up Pisty's orange and
he got his added to it.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
No, I mean, well, like because then dial back on
the pancake make up, which by my girlfriend sent me
a beam a few weeks ago. Obviously AI did it,
but it was like the tone of it was like
what Donald Trump would look like without his makeup, and
it was like the same photo and she was just like, hey,
if I saw this, now you have to see it.
And it looked fucking weird.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah. Yeah, so there's there's the portrait. This is in
Colorado's I guess Denver they refer to as Colorado's capital.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
And that's too mad about it looks like him.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
It does look like him, but it's not a it's
not a great painting either.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Right, terrible job. He's a terrible painter. Yeah, I don't like.
I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
There's no I can't find a straight onshot of it.
But it's like competent, right, Like if somebody in your
family did this, you go, hey, that's pretty good also,
but you got some talent.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Oh you know what I will give Trump? I'd be like,
why do I look pissed? There's plenty of photos of
me smiling. You could have you could have made me smiling,
are there? Yeah, there's especially that's with his teeth. I
mean I've seen photos. I mean he's smiling.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Okay, that's right.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, you're right, But no, just say like I'd be like, yeah,
why do I look pissed? It couldn't make me look smiling?
I bet I bet you. There's a few of those
portraits of guys are smiling, looking likable, affable.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
You think they wouldn't they like take.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
A picture, That's what I'm saying. Like, you know, we're
in the age of the internet. There's plenty of you don't.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Know what was for, Like did they pay? They take
a picture of him, and that's all I had to do,
is they like they grab him by the pussy and
you'd get a nice big smile from him.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
They fell in ease.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
No, I guess the uh they took it down. They
took the portrait down. Terrible job because Trump complained about it.
I mean, I'm of two minds because A, that's kind
of just petty, And don't you have other bigger things
to worry about, Like I don't know your staffer is
leaking war plans on messaging apps, Like.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Hey, but Joe Biden approved the use of the signal app,
So yeah, oh did he like, really, that's.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
But on the other hand, it is not a I mean,
if you're gonna do like a portrait of the president
to hang for forever someplace, you know, you'd assume there's
a bunch of portraits up there.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I mean, i'd say, not your best effort.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, like, get something that that looks like high quality
art at least it looks amateurish at best. But I think,
and I think he says this in his long rambling
tweet about it. But oh maybe maybe that maybe the
artist is just getting old, which I believe she is,
(05:18):
and it might be the problem might be losing her
losing her. Uh he didn't say that. Yeah, so Joe
Biden approved the signal.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Last I saw something in Google that some GOP senator
is saying, well, you know, Biden approved it to you,
even if let's live in that world. Sure, okay, why
does it matter? It's being used now, like Joe Biden is,
he's almost twelve weeks a memory, you know, this this
(05:51):
little back in the basement where they were hiding him
for the last six months of presidency, shit back and forth.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
The New York Times story about this was how a
lot of the a lot of the some of the
people who had their private messages released through the Signal app,
which they don't think it was a hack. They I mean,
I guess it's kind of hacking, but what Basically it's
somebody logs in on gets your login info and logs
(06:20):
in on their phone and gets the messages too. That's
how they believe they were doing it. But the New
York Times big point that they wanted to make was
that these these people who are have you know, had
their stuff hacked because they're using not the most secure
method of communicating top secret information, were also the same
ones that were complaining about Hillary's server, right, like, okay,
(06:43):
but they're not anymore. Can we move on? You know,
they're not still out there trying to be like lock
up Hillary. Hillary went away, and it's over. It's done with.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Hey they complained about something ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, okay, yeah, I mean you'll if you're if you
want to just focus your efforts on pointing out hypocrisy,
you will have news all day long. You will be
writing story. You won't have enough people to write the
stories about the hypocrisy happening in the world in Washington.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Still everywhere here is Congress the last fifteen years, and
it's probably since or you're starting to get it in
it well, I'll say it out loud. Oh yeah, yeah.
That is political discourse in this country the last fifteen years,
in Congress and beyond.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
It's all discourse, not political and otherwise it's all discourse.
You know, if you're accused of something, yeah, you did
it too, No I didn't. Okay, Well you did something
else that was bad too, I bet?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Okay, bet? But again, listen, let's live in that world.
Think when you were a kid. Okay, what would your
parents tell you? Still doesn't make it right? Yeah, Like,
just because you're your brother punched the neighbor kid doesn't
mean it's okay that you also punched the neighbor kid.
You still both punched the neighbor kid. Like. That's that's
my new favorite mechanism, right, or just device for people
(08:01):
who say something crazy to me, I go, okay, fine,
assume everything you just say is happened. Let's chase this down.
How does this really go? And then that usually shuts
them up, yeah, or pisses them off even more.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Twenty three and me is shutting down. Now, there's a
lot of stories about how.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
To Why wasn't everybody fucking using it? I think they
might have somebody robbing them internally.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
No, I just think they reached their limit of people
who are actually willing to give over their DNA for
a little bit of information.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I mean, I got all these people who are I mean,
I've never done it, but all these people who are
afraid of doing it. I got news for you. If
you've ever been to the doctor, they got your DNA
somehow if they want it.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Oh yeah, but they're not cataloging it. They're not doing
something with it.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
You had a blood you ever had a blood test?
They got your DNA.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Well they don't. They don't save it. I mean it's
possible that they could have.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yes, And I'd also argue at the hospital, your digital
footprint is way you got more shit to worry about
digitally than you got worrying about sending your DNA to
something company.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Nobody's going to drain your bank account with your DNA exactly,
not yet, right, give them time. Although biometric information is
part of so the White House put out a I
don't know, like if it was just a statement and
call to action, but basically it's all about election reform,
and they're pointing out ways that we are supposedly behind
(09:32):
other countries. So it was mentioned I think it was India,
maybe it was China that use biometric data. It doesn't
say specifically like we're going to you known.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
You to vote, but I mean when we say we're behind,
maybe we need to like take a look at the
whole picture in these countries before we go, hey, we're
lagging behind. No, it's very cherry picking. They're saying, have
you've seen the condition most of India's in? Are we
laking behind India?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Well, the point that they're trying to make is that
some of our election practices are more primitive than other
quote unquote lesser developed countries. But it's it's cherry picking.
You know, they use this method and you know.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I feel you and I are on the same page
as this one. Internet is secure enough for banking, but
we can't trust it with voting. Come on now, yeah, like,
if we figured out how to make it secure enough
for banking, we can figure out how to make it
secure enough to where you could vote sitting in your
fucking living room.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I'm surprised that we're not talking about that because they're
talking about. Well, I guess here's the thing. With Elon
and all the tech pros being really show me with
Trump right now, you'd think that they would be pushing
for this, but it also, you know, it has to
have a political agenda, and that political agenda is if
(10:53):
we if we just clamp down on identification of voters,
that puts a dent in those that usually vote for Democrats.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Which again, if I am one of these people, the
assumptions you make about me fuck you. Like I heard
somebody makes they don't have ID, yeah, or you can't
figure out how to get one, or it's just out
of your I heard I heard a black comedian make
a good point. Do you drink you've been to the club.
(11:28):
Guess what? Everyone people know how to get a fucking
ID And what was their point? Like the assumptions that's
some of these people like you're poor, you fucking can't
figure out how to get an I D.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Like it's our our part a not insulted, you know, yeah,
and you're right, and they do say that. I think
it's a misunderstanding of statistics that they're looking at of
you know, people who don't offer an I D. When
they vote or don't want to offer an ID when
they vote. And it's not just basically if you're poor
(12:01):
and if you're poor, you're distrustful of the government. Let's
just say that generally, if you're generally, if you're poor
in this for most people that it would be classified
as poor. They don't trust the government and they're not
voting Republican. Right, so minus minus the last thing you
just said. Someone else's bit rich man poor man. Now
you don't trust the government, right, So you're not going
(12:24):
to If you don't need to provide your ID, then
you're not going to. If they were really pressed and
really passionate about voting, they would just do it anyway.
But then there's on the really distrustful side of the government.
There's people out there who are you know, have the
ability to vote legally, but they might have a criminal
(12:45):
record that might be on probation, they might have a
warrant out for their arrest, they might have any number
of reasons creditors that they you know, things like not
tied to voting at all, but like they don't want
to be put into another system where somebody might be
able to track down where they are.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Well that's I feel like half of what you just
said is on them. Yeah. Like like I like I
learned right like you, and I definitely ran with this crowd.
I don't trust you know what, I don't trust banks
means means I owe somebody money. That's what when somebody
you know, why you.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Don't trust banks because somebody got a court order to
go into your bank and take money out of it.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Exactly, you owe somebody money when.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
You put you know, somebody got all the way to
your bank, and it's happened to me. Somebody's had they
they out of court order and they pulled money right
the fuck out of my bank account.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And I was like, I don't trust banks. Yeah, And
I always tell these people like I've had the same
bank account since the year two thousand. My money is
always there when I need it. It's never I've never
woke up one day and went, hey, where now my
money go? Unless I'm the one who fucking spent this. No,
it's banks do what they're supposed to do. And one
of the things they're supposed to do is if you
(13:54):
owe somebody money.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
No banks work, and they're backed by the federal government.
So like as a mayor going anywhere. I mean, maybe,
but not right now.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, thanks to the Great Depression, you could lose up
to one hundred thousand dollars in that it's covered you're
in a FDIIC insured bank.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah, but I mean, I think this, this twenty three
and me thing does bring up probably some interesting conversations
because you know, people don't think far ahead enough. If
they were on the fence about mailing off their DNA
to a company, maybe they do some research and they
look into Okay, well, you know, people seem to have
(14:33):
a good experience, they don't have any history of being hacked.
It seems like a good company. It seems like they
have good practices. Okay, I'm going to trust them. But
companies fail and get sold and all kinds of things happened.
Companies aren't forever. So it's not like you can't think
about it as in, I'm giving twenty three and me
(14:55):
my personal data. I'm putting my personal data into a
pool of days that in the future, I don't know
what's going to happen with it. That's what's really that's
not what you should really be thinking about.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
And I think a lot of these fears to come
from like some fucking science fiction movies that people saw.
I don't think it's ridiculous. And then but but meanwhile,
in the last five years, we're starting to teach computers
to think, and our reaction is, oh, that's cool, Like so, like,
what are we which scientific dystopia are we afraid of?
(15:30):
Because it seems like that.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I think there's a lot of people out there. I mean,
obviously there's a lot of people out there.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Oh they could clone you, don't, don't in your d
end of they could clone you. They they talk about
like minority Report shit or shit like that or like this. Meanwhile,
we're meanwhile, we're developing the matrix and we don't care.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Well, I watched, so this isn't I'm not trying to
get away from the subject because it does tie in.
But I saw the new bonjen Hoe movie in the
theaters the other day, Mickey seventeen, and you know, Banjin
this is a guy who did Parasite, which was you know,
I did that win Best Picture? I think that year.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I think that it sounds right, yeah one or was
up for it.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Yeah, Parasite like won tons of awards and was really acclaimed.
Snow Piercer just kind of more of a cult classic.
I don't think that did, but it's and it's based
on a book, snow Piercer. You didn't you ever see
snow Piercer. So snow Piercer is in the future. There's uh,
what do they call it when everything's ice?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
The nice Age?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yes, there's another ice age in the future, right, and
all of humanity has been reduced. They've they've been reduced
to the point where they can all fit on one
big train. And this big train goes all the way
around the planet. And that's all it does is keep
moving because that's the only way to like, I don't know,
keep everybody warm, and I don't understand the bigger logistics
(16:58):
of it, but that's the that's the base, the outlay
of it is. You've got in the front is the
people who can afford the you know, the nice digs,
and then everybody you can't is crammed into the back.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
So like yeah, so like an airplane.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Like life, like the whole planet. It's basically condensing the
whole planet down to one train and telling a story
about that. Parasite was about like a phantom family living
in a house basically Mickey seventeen is about cloning. It's
twenty fifty three, I think somewhere around there, and there's
(17:36):
a huge spaceship and arc full of you know, thousands
and thousands of people and they're all traveling to another
planet and they're being led by Mark Ruffalo's character. Mark
Ruffalo plays He's he kind of seems like if you
just took Trump and Elon and just mushed them together
(17:57):
into one weird dude. So in order to test out
all the you know, it's going to be a new environment,
there's new challenges in long term space travel. They don't
know what the planet that they're going to is exactly
going to be, like new pathogens that they'll have to
deal with. So they hire a guy who's like down
(18:20):
on his luck, has to get off the planet, is
in debt, is basically going to be killed for his
debt because he owes some bad people, and so he
takes the only job he can get, and that's the
I Forget. There's a there's an actual name for that
they use, but basically, your job is you're going to
do all the dangerous jobs and when you die, we're
(18:43):
just going to reprint you and send you back out again.
They show him going out on a spacewalk to like
fix something on the outside of the ship, and he
gets to it and he's like, guys, this wire is
already here that you sent me out here to replace.
It's already looks like it's already been fixed.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
And they're like, uh, yeah about that.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
We're just gonna need you to turn and face the
sun and he's like what. They're like, Yeah, you're gonna
be experiencing an extreme amount of radiation, so we just
need you to stay conscious for as long as you
can and tell us your experience. So they're just like
flagrant with his life to the point where on the
(19:28):
seventeenth version of this, hence Mickey seventeen.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
It's like a fucked up Groundhog Day.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Yeah, kind of. So that by the seventeenth version, they're
on the planet and they send them down there for
like explore these like ice caves and everything, and this
is already after they've sent down a half dozen versions
of him to just breathe the air, get sick and die,
(19:54):
and then figure out how to stop that from happening.
So they so he's exploring the plant, he takes a fall.
He falls into this hole in the ground and they
think he's dead, so they print out a new one.
But Mickey seventeen survives and makes his way back to
the ship and encounters Mickey eighteen and then everything goes haywire.
(20:15):
Hilarity in su Hilarity ensues. It is actually a really
funny movie. Robert Pattinson plays Mickey seventeen. Robert Pattinson is
an extremely good looking guy. I mean, this is a
guy who is the vampire in Twilight.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
It's got to be pushing forty by now.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
He was the last Batman. Kiddy. Oh, that's a good
looking man. That's a good looking man. Yeah, you gotta
admit that. But he makes himself look so weird and
ugly in this and no makeup or anything. It's just
sometimes he just slightly crosses his eye like he's not
totally hamming it up, but he kind of is. He's
(20:51):
got this really dopey, like kind of pseudo New York
accent thing going on. But he's really fun in it,
and the movie is it's it has definitely a sense
of humor. And it didn't I guess it didn't do
well in the theaters. There's that's just kind of like
the setup to the story that I described. There's much
more that goes on from there, and it's kind of
(21:12):
interesting in the way that it combines all these themes
of Bon June host movies in the past. You know,
Parasite was about duplicates. Oak Jaw was his Netflix movie
about finding a weird, unknown animal and then wanting to
eat it or having certain certain people till the Swinton
(21:32):
played a character who is like, you know, obsessed with
finding ways to It's like if they found like a
living dinosaur.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Like peyote or some shit, and then make movies.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
The snow Piercer movie about you know, combining like just
packing a bunch of people on a on a vehicle
and you know, watching it boiled over. All those themes
are in this movie. But I don't know, I guess it.
It's definitely a quirkier movie. Definitely it did not do
(22:01):
well in the theaters. But now I've forgotten why I
went on that tangent in the first place. What were
we talking.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
About, Uh, don't tell chicks they're emotional. No. Uh, then
we went.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
To I forget there was something specifically you're talking about.
Fear of the future.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Oh, how we're fearing all this stupid dumb shit about DNA.
Meanwhile we're like constructing like the thing we were constructing,
the matrix.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Basically, something got me often because you had mentioned cloning, like.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
People are afraid of, like cloning and minority report shit
with the DNA stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
I don't remember what I was thinking about. I guess
that snow white movies bombing at the theaters.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Like just all the stupid social stuff that was going
along with it when they say they were going to
make it. Aside, when I saw the previous for it,
I was like, it looks fucking weird, like the CGI dwarf. Like,
it's just it looks weird. I know, you should have
got Dinklage and a bunch of his buddies. Oh Dinklie
doesn't want to. Oh no, I know that's why they're CGI,
(23:15):
because Peter Dinklice said, yeah, so no, Brad Williams and
sure could have used the work. We man. I don't know,
I'm running out of famous midgets. Gary Coleman's dead.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
But their outlook there are actor midgets out there, and whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's gone back and forth. Midget is an official term.
Some people still turned on it, but I've heard it
from more than.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Because I realized one reason the M word. But no,
it's I think you can say midget again.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I think you can do I think that. I think
that little people and little person is like demeaning.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Was that in the Executive Order on January twentieth we
could say midget again?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Yes? Yeah, and we can toss them. Yeah, We're gonna
toss the best midgets. I tell you, it's gonna be
like the nineties all over bringing and tossing sca, those
bowling shirts, all the best things about the nineties, the midges.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
They love me, weird facial.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Hair, I mean yeah, I mean everyone's going nuts on
social media about that's the go woke, go broke chant
all over again, which looks weird, complete its complete bullshit.
It didn't fail because of any kind of woke recasting,
(24:44):
whatever the fuck you think, it failed because it looks weird.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
And then I guess a post a PostScript to it
too is they can't even save it with doing any
press because why is that Gal Gadot and whatever the
fuck her name is who's the lead apparently hate each
other and guess what it's about Israel and Palestine.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, they can't be in the same room together.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Which if I'm Gelagadati, fuck you, I'm from there, You're
a fucking you're from Yeah, you're from the United States
and grew up in privilege.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Dix, that is a snow white sea hair away from
just anti Semitism and on the behalf of this other
actress whose eyes are too wide.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
That's what lake.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I first saw the Dwarfs and I was like, why
are their eyes so far apart? They looked really weird.
And then I saw a snow white and I was like,
why are her eyes so far apart?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
She animated too, Yeah, they're trying to detract from her.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Yeah. They probably gave the Dwarfs normal proportion features and
then when they saw it next to their lead actress,
they were like, oh yeah, oh my god, she looks weird.
Why didn't anyone tell us she looks like an alien?
Speaker 2 (25:59):
And why did they go with her hair? Looks like,
I don't know, her hair looks weird too. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
The style they chose to go Kina kind of looks
weird and plastic. Yeah, looks outdated.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Now I will say this this. I'm sure you've seen
the meme going around. What did it have? It had?
It was about all the Disney Live action remakes like
it had, you know, a picture of aiol and then
a picture of the black Little Mermaid. Yeah, it had
a picture of.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
She's Ariel as well. She's not a black little Mermaid.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
No, but there's a punchline to this meme and then
those pictures. It was another there's another character that they
made black, and then the last one was Tarzan. And
then it just said I dare you Disney, like.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Fucking dare you? Swinging around?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I feel I feel both sides of the aisle could
laugh at that one.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Yeah, I think that's the type of that is the rare,
harmless racist joke, right.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
No, I think I think it's it's it's it's the
lucyk principle. We're all filling in the racism in the
last square, right, make your own racist.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Joke, like Rachel Zegler. That's what it is, isn't it. Actress,
who's relationship with Studio began to unrival in twenty twenty two.
During a contentious West Side Story Award season campaign, she
trashed the beloved original snow White, Well, that didn't help,
and death threats towards Galagadat. It was Galagadad alone who
(27:42):
got the death threats.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Why because she supports Israel and she's in she's in
the business where you have to support the other side,
because that's how it goes. Now, you can't be in
the liberal business and support Israel. How dare you? You
have to check all the boxes now?
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Aaron criticize the original snow White, noting that the prince
literally stalks the heroine. Yeah, I mean all those Disney
movies are I mean, dude leaving beauty.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Can we talk about how I never really thought Pretty
in Pink was a love story. Like I didn't find
it like to be this great love So I was like, dude,
she doesn't She's not into you. I was screaming at
him the whole movie, Dude, she's not into you. Yeah,
but never And in the end she fucking kisses him
and then gives all those idiots for the next ten
years ruined teenage boys.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Yeah, all I have to do is persevere.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
All have to do is just stalk her, Yeah, and
never leave her alone.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Yeah, I mean all the way up. Yeah, you're right.
All the way up through the eighties, every like romantic
film was based on stalking. Yeah, this idea of like, no,
if you find somebody and you think they're super hot,
then you must be in love and that means you'll
do anything and you don't stop.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
No, it's called a fixation.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Yeah, I mean what it really is is a you're
not in love because you don't know the person be.
That's not justification to follow them around and you know,
crowbar yourself into their life.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Infatuation are two different things.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Yeah, according to this, there's no bad blood between Zegler
and Goodou. It's just I think it's just Zegler's uh
statements like free Palestine and that that have just caused
them to approm So they don't want to stick her
out there to do promos for it, gotcha, And so
then it's just gal Gado, Well toun, she's from like
(29:37):
and so then how do you But here's the here's
the trick, right, you don't want to put Zegler out
there because she's going to say something that you don't
want her to say. So you put gal Gado out there, right,
what's Goodo gonna say? And her agents? Why are you
going to put her just her out there and not
your lead. So now why is she doing all the
press but Rachel's not doing the press. That's going to
(29:58):
put even bigger target, and why you're not having her
And now everyone's gonna look into why you're not having
her do the press, so might as well just do
no press about it at all. And then everyone just
kind of goes huh, I guess they didn't do a
lot of press for that movie. That's why no.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Press sounds plausible.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
That's exact. I guarantee you that's how it happened. That's
that's how it goes down. You can't because you can't.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
And Gal ain't changed. But they have no dwarfs but
out there, and Gal's not changing her stance on Israel.
She's from Israel, like had to serve two years from Israel, right,
like like if you're Israel, I think it's what you
turn nineteen, like you gotta do two years, Like it
doesn't matter who the fuck you are, now you gotta
do two years in their military.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
There's just too much nuance for the average American, the
average any person I think at this point to parts
there because like it's a country can be wrong in
its actions, right, and a person from that country can
be okay even if they support their content free right.
And it's not like gal Gado is trying to make
(31:03):
herself the face of pro Israel in this. You know,
she's just but I'm.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Willing to bet her opinion is going to be pro
is We.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Yes, yes, of course. But I guess the point I'm
trying to make is that, like it would be different
if she was out there making herself, like I said,
the face of this and actively, like you know, promoting
Israel in whatever way. Then yeah, okay, you're gonna have
to take the flak for that too, But otherwise to
(31:36):
take flak for and receive death threats for being Israeli
and not saying that you hate your country. We don't
do that to Americans, right, I'm sure there's some idiots
out there, but in general, they don't do that to
Americans when they travel from what I hear.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Oh travel? Oh yeah, yeah, say we do to our
own people. Oh yes, yes, we do ourself. Yeah yeah,
Because I was like, really, I thought you were on
the internet, like it's a completely occurrence.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
I guess there's some unreleased eminem tracks floating out there?
Did you hear about this one?
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah? Where are they from? Are they from his recent album? No?
Speaker 3 (32:14):
They were leaked by a guy that worked in his studio.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Yeah, I know what I'm saying. What era of Eminem
is this? Are they like for early Eminem? Now Eminem?
Speaker 3 (32:24):
They're just unreleased? I don't like Joseph Strange. What a
great name. Former sound engineer for acclaimed rapper Eminem, has
been charged with stealing the rappers unreleased songs and selling
them in exchange for the markets leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Yeah, well there's there's the rub, right Why you don't
take any bitcoin? Eminem is not taking you to court.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Oh you think if if you just like put them
out on the internet, you'd probably still be sued.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
You don't think probably.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
He'd have grounds. It's not his intellectual property to put
out there. Well, I guess possibly devalue his work. I mean,
if somebody who worked again, let's make Disney an example.
Somebody at Disney releases shit like you know, shows footage
before a movie is supposed to come out and they're
not supposed to I'm probably going to get fired. They
(33:19):
might even get sued for it. Facing serious charges including
criminal infringement of copyright an interstate transportation of stolen goods.
What is this obsession with like interstate making it like.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
The way to trump up charges? Yeah, well, I guess it's.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Uh, it's because it makes it federal, right, the federal
government has to get involved, and the federal government just
doesn't back down. Loser, negotiate, They'll just railroad you until
you're in jail.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
You could face up to five years in prison and
a fine of up to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Marshall, don't play, don't steal from Mark?
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Yeah, I mean, I hope he doesn't end up in prison.
I don't. I don't think this is the kind of
guy who needs to be in prison. I don't know.
I mean a fine would probably be hefty enough to
just ruin his life, right, and certainly the publicity on this.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
I have to sell that bitcoin.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Now, how are you going to get hired as a
sound engineer anywhere except for I don't even know where
I try. I thought I could come up with a
good example, but there's nobody who just doesn't isn't going
to not care whether somebody takes their work or not. Yeah,
so you're not going to be able to get work anywhere.
He's probably not. I'm sure, like a violent and I
(34:39):
mean a nonviolent crime like that, probably not going to
serve prison time, especially if he's got like all this bitcoin.
He can just sell that and then pay off the.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Debt unless government seizes the bitcoin put it in the reserve.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
I don't know. Can they seize the bitcoin.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
If we have they Oh, that's the stuff. That's absolutely
think about drug dealers stuff. That's the But how do
they trace it?
Speaker 3 (35:05):
How do they know?
Speaker 2 (35:07):
You just said he online? He said if you took
the bit. If he's if he gave someone the tracks
for the bitcoin, that's absolutely traceable.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
If that's the fruits of the poison tree, absolutely they
can seize it.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Yeah, I'm sure that. I'm sure they can prove it
some way. Investigation revealed that Strange was heavily involved in
the world of bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining, and this is
indicated that he insisted on receiving payment solely by bitcoin.
Detail that adds another layer of complexity of the case.
Is that complexity.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
I don't know what he gave someone, he gave something
that he told to somebody in exchange for something of value.
I mean, it seems pretty but I'm reading this sit
here not being a lawyer.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
I'm reading this article from the bitcoin is dot com.
So that's why the focus on the bitcoin aspect gotcha. Yeah,
I didn't read anything about like a mass release of
eminem stuff and your shit, Right, it seems like I
would have heard about that, like people would have been
talking about and sharing online and stuff.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
And yeah, being where we're at, we definitely would have heard.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Right, we're right here in Detroit, well not in Detroit
at the moment, but we're in the Detroit area, yes,
the metro Detroit area.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
We are close to where Eminem lives. Actually.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Have you kept up with him though?
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Eminem his last album made me feel old. Yeah, because
his last album, It's No Good, was half of it
was for me, yeah, and then half of it was
from my friend's kids who are all in Like. Half
of it was like, oh yeah, he's still trying to
sell albums to young people. Half of it to me
was garbage because he's still that's that new shit, that
(36:52):
new no no no no no no, like that cadence. Yeah.
But then the other half was like you know, he
was throwing it back to you know, the slim shady
olp okay, you know that kind of shit, just that era.
I don't single out that album, just that era of Eminem,
(37:13):
Slim Shady, Marshall, Mathers, whatever, the one after Marshall, mad
Eminem Show, those three that era.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Eminem Show, what was after Core, Encore and then Relapse? Yeah,
I think Relapse is about where I fell off.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Yep, same for me.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Relapses, Like half of these songs are fun, half of
these songs are just nothing, and to be fair, of
the medicine ball off of Relapse is one of my
If you look at.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
The timing of Relapse, that's all the prop. Rap was
also changing at that time too.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Yeah, that's interesting. I mean, I guess I don't know
if that he's doing it to try and stay relevant
or if he just there's there's new successful rap artists
and producers out there that he probably wants to work with.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
I mean, there's a track that he does with the
kid that's from around here. I guess on YouTube. He's
fucking huge. What's hilarious is he is the son of
a band that we used to gig with and like
a few years ago, I went and saw my buddy's
band and they open. First of all, my reaction was,
holy shit, these guys are still around. They got to
be sixty. And the reaction was, yeah they are yeah,
(38:25):
because I was like, yeah, these guys are like forty
when we were in their twenties and they're still around.
Holy fuck.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
But there's the band Motown Rage, Motown Rage.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
But it turns out which cause it sounds like I'm
throwing shade at him. I'm not. They were always good guys.
We always had good shows with them, you know, and
good for them. They're still out doing it. But the
guy's kid is like some cuge. You go on YouTube
and type in baby Tron. Dudes got fucking like millions
of baby Tron. Dude's got like millions of views and
shit and Emine ended and yeah, problem is the track shit,
(38:56):
the track him and Eminem do together. I shut off.
It's so boring, really yeah, But it's that new style
of rap, the like no no, no, no, the you know,
the eight oh eight, the minimal production, the auto tune
on I don't understand autotune on rapping. You're rapping?
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Why is there autotune on it.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Like that that style and it's garbage.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Yes, I was listening to word Balloon podcasts, which is
mostly about comics, and they were he was interviewing Dennis Kitchen,
and Dennis Kitchen is a guy who is really big
in what they called at the time underground comics. So
this was it's been seventies eighties, so you know, at
(39:43):
the time his contemporaries would be like, you know, Robert
Crumb and blanking on anyone else from that air there
was an underground comics at the moment. But he also
started the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, which was a
way to, you know, give support to a lot of
people who, you know, comic book artists and writers who
(40:05):
are especially at that time in the seventies and eighties,
they were just jobbers. You know, they didn't own any ip.
They sat there and created all these characters and stories,
but they did it all for.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Pay.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
They got their paycheck. And then if if you get
fired or want to quit, or for whatever, lose your job,
you don't get take anything with you. You don't get
to take the Fantastic four and go and take that
to another company. So that caused all kinds of legal
problems for whether it was just like you know, to
(40:42):
recover actual items of IP that the artists or writers
did own or were being controlled by another company, or
getting companies to putting pressure on companies like DC to
pay out, you know, to like the Finger family and
the King family. These the survivors of these creators of
(41:03):
these great heroes. But he was talking about how a
big thing for him in those days was putting his
comic books in headshops because these were counterculture books and
just like fit really well. And it's kind of come
(41:25):
back to that now too, you know. They he was
talking about the legalization of cannabis and he's he was
saying how much he loved it. He's like, now you
have actual regulation on ship and you can't just throw
whatever on there. He's like, back in the day, we
were getting whatever from whereat for you know, some guy
(41:48):
who knows a guy who knows a guy got some
ship for you. And he says it's Alcohpolca gold who sure,
who knows he's like and it could have been sprayed
with anything, he said. You know, we were like, we
didn't know we were smoking joints laced with parquat A paraquat, Yeah, yeah,
(42:09):
so you know what paraquat is because I didn't know that.
I had to look it up.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
And then a pesticide.
Speaker 3 (42:14):
It's, well, it's an herbicide, so it's not something that
is to it's like a weed killer, you know, not
a bug killer. And his reference because he referenced Nixon too,
and I was like, so this is a thing, like
he's not just pulling shit out of his ass. He's
referencing something that I don't get. And so that's what
(42:35):
I looked. I found this article from It was this
nineteen seventy eight the New York Times. It's in their
archive Poisonous Fallout from the War on Marijuana, and it
talks about how basically the Nixon administration don't they went
and found marijuana crops in Mexico and prop dusted them
(42:57):
with this herbicide Dix Darryl Dodson then one hundred and
twenty five dollars a week. Intern on the State Permanent
Subcommittee on Investigations first heard that the Mexican government was
spraying a lung a lung seeking poison, I mean lung
seeking poison on illegal marijuana fields in February nineteen seventy seven.
(43:20):
He did not believe it well in as as little
as a half ounce of it is suicidal. Paraquad gravitates
to the lungs. Oh, that's why they call it a
lung seeking where it causes such massive damage that death
almost invariably occurs within.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Two weeks, which I've been lung sinking poison paaraquad poisoning Jesus.
It can't touch paraquad, can't touch anything. Can't touch the
line of the mouth, stomach, or intestines. You can get
sick of paraquad touches. A cut on your skin may
also damage the k Jesus Christ. Death may occur from
a hole in the esophagus.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
Estimated that one fifth of the marijuana confiscated at the
Mexican border have been contaminated, some of it at a
concentration forty thousand Yeah, forty thousand times greater than the
EPA allows for domestic use.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
That's cool that the EPA allows it.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
Marijuana eradication and become a priority of the Nixon White
House and government. Scientists began the search for herbicide that
would dramatically reduce the Mexican supply or incapacitate American smokers.
A spray to make smokers nause incapacitated man they were
(44:39):
looking to get in cavetted. A spray to make smokers
nauseous was synthesized in nineteen sixty nine but not used.
Development of electronic sensoring technology to detect illicit fields an
aerial spraying of those fields with herbicides. Nineteen seventy. The
United States gave Mexico five helicopters in three airplanes to initiate.
(45:04):
Oh and then it just stops. Journalism is so dead
they can't even be bothered to preserve the stuff that
was legitimate journalism. I get that this is a very
old article. It's on an archive, but literally these every
every one of these paragraphs just ends, sometimes in the middle.
Speaker 2 (45:27):
Of a word.
Speaker 3 (45:28):
All right nowadays, I just I guess they just felt
more natural to them. Yeah, this is all this shit extends. Still.
It goes into the seventies with Operation Clearview, where the
DA endorsed aerial spraying, and at this point now they're
doing it on poppy fields as well. DA had technology
(45:50):
which would pinpoint the illicit fields, nicknamed mops. The multi
spectral opium Poppy Sensor System, a four lens camera allegedly
capable of surveying two hundred and fifty square miles a
day with ninety percent accuracy. The government loves their acronyms.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
MOPS wasn't.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
I don't know why MOPS isn't successful, though it's apparently
laughed at by some people because of its ineptness. But
I don't have a complete paragraph here, so it just
leaves me hanging d It's how it goes.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
I'll be reading an article and then I feel like
it just stops, and it's like, no, this is it's
that's end. It's a chance.
Speaker 3 (46:31):
That's bad writing. This is like when they digitized it,
they just didn't include all the information. They just Okay.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
The further I get into.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
This article, the weirder it gets, because now it's just
like provides has a capital V in the middle of
it for no reason. The outcome might not even what's
the period that's right in the middle, right, it's not
the it's not a period down at the bottom, it's
a period right in the middle. There's one of those.
(47:01):
The outcome might weird period be a bloody civil period
war dot dot dot, but capital with the acquisition comma
of semi colon helico capital p turt and sophisticated semi
colon tests looseology.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
What are we even talking about? I've forgotten. It's nothing.
It's just nonsense.
Speaker 3 (47:25):
Because there's so many errors in the transcription, the eradication
program could also identify the alleged gour dash f kama
rilla quote training period comma camps unquote to these mountains.
That's it' that's all. That's It's just I mean, it's
(47:49):
formatting errors and stuff like. You know, there's characters that
aren't carrying over. Trying to read that, I'd have a
fucking seizure.
Speaker 2 (47:57):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
I mean, they're saying something about a gorilla camp or
training camp for gorilla style something I don't know. So, yeah,
I guess that's it. At least we're not, at least
we're not still spraying. Are perhaps to it, But I'm
sure we are. I'm sure there's spraying other Yeah. Shit
that's fully government approved.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
And sanctioned, new different shit that's killing us slowly.
Speaker 3 (48:19):
Yeah, at least it's not this lung seeking shit.
Speaker 2 (48:23):
Right.
Speaker 3 (48:23):
But he couldn't. It couldn't have been that bad. Because
wouldn't we have heard about like mass dusts from cannabis
that was a big issue. Maybe like burning it actually
does kind of makes you higher.
Speaker 2 (48:38):
Man, yea. And yeah, that guy lived to tell the
story that he smoked ship with paraquad on it.
Speaker 3 (48:44):
Well, I think he's assuming. I don't know. I don't
know that he ever hit a joint and went ooh god,
paraquat Oh.
Speaker 2 (48:52):
Easy, all right? In that note, yeah, don't smoke ship
with paaraquat on it. That's our safety tip for the week.
Speaker 3 (49:00):
If you go back in time, if you get your
hands on a time machine, you're like the seventies seem cool,
and they probably were. Uh, just bring your own weed. Yeah, actually,
bring your own weed. Man, you blow their.
Speaker 2 (49:11):
Fucking Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (49:13):
Yeah, imagine taking some shit now, some fucking just tak
them a joint.
Speaker 2 (49:18):
That's all basement in nineteen seventy six.
Speaker 3 (49:20):
Covered in Keith take it for woods.
Speaker 2 (49:23):
Are you some kind of weed sorcerer? Yes? No, smoke this, yep.
Speaker 3 (49:28):
That's my plan. When I get a time machine, I'm
just gonna take weed back to the seventies and just
get laid.
Speaker 2 (49:36):
I mean, all new technology does end up leading to
the penis.
Speaker 3 (49:41):
And on that note, Yeah, when when eventually, when they
invent time travel, it's because there's some pussy in the past,
So someone's going to that some guy just cannot stop
thinking about some.
Speaker 2 (49:52):
Guy wants to really fuck Marilyn Monroe, and you figured
it out. Yeah, that's how we're going to get time travel.
Speaker 3 (49:59):
All we need is the proper motivation. And guess what,
it's always secks.
Speaker 2 (50:03):
Yes, there's some gen alpha kid right now who's going
to see a picture of Marilyn Monroe and he's going
to invent time trail.
Speaker 3 (50:08):
How do you get secure online banking? You start with

Christopher Media. Let's make some noise from Asthma CORR Studios
near Detroit, Michigan. It's the Weedsman Podcast. And now you
have smoked yourself retarded. He're the Weedsmen.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Get Welcome to the Weedsman Podcast. I'm Chris, I'm Aaron.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Welcome back.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Spring.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
It's construction season.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yes, spring has sprung, construction season.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Time to fix all those holes from.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
It was seventy a week ago and two days later.
I'm not joking. It was like in the twenties.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Yep, that's gonna be up and down.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
It has been typical schizo Michigan spring. The weather needs
a fucking uh uh. I'm trying to think of shit.
My ex wife took some anti anxiety med, some bipolar med.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Weather just needs to calm down. Oh, don't tell them
to call down.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
So funny story, right, A couple of weeks ago. You know,
my girlfriend has a nine year old and four year
old four year old girl. Yeah, and the nine year
old told the four year old that she was being emotional.
I was like, WHOA. I was like, I'm not there.
I feel I need to step in as a man
(01:23):
and be like, just strike that from your vocabulary. Now,
do not use that on your mom, Do not use
that on your grandmother. Do not use that on anybody
you date in the future. Just get that Like.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
There's no woman that it worth, there's no person that
it works on. It just doesn't get to dude the
way it does the.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Cat over there is a girl. You might not want
to say it to the cat, like, just want to
be like, buddy, this is this is a teachable moment,
Like just while it can be true, you do not
vocalize it because guess what, the four year girl didn't
take kindly to it. Shocking.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Well, it's just gonna yeah, it's just gonna make him
more quote uncuot yes, emotional.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Because I even joked when you told me that, I
was like, buddy, yeah, I said out. I said I
would don't use that on older girls either, Like.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, did you see the did you see the Trump portrait?
And he's all upset about No, why is he nudews
like an official person. I mean, I don't know how
many portraits that this person has done, but there's like
a bunch of presidential portraits hanging up Pisty's orange and
he got his added to it.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
No, I mean, well, like because then dial back on
the pancake make up, which by my girlfriend sent me
a beam a few weeks ago. Obviously AI did it,
but it was like the tone of it was like
what Donald Trump would look like without his makeup, and
it was like the same photo and she was just like, hey,
if I saw this, now you have to see it.
And it looked fucking weird.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah. Yeah, so there's there's the portrait. This is in
Colorado's I guess Denver they refer to as Colorado's capital.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
And that's too mad about it looks like him.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
It does look like him, but it's not a it's
not a great painting either.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Right, terrible job. He's a terrible painter. Yeah, I don't like.
I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
There's no I can't find a straight onshot of it.
But it's like competent, right, Like if somebody in your
family did this, you go, hey, that's pretty good also,
but you got some talent.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Oh you know what I will give Trump? I'd be like,
why do I look pissed? There's plenty of photos of
me smiling. You could have you could have made me smiling,
are there? Yeah, there's especially that's with his teeth. I
mean I've seen photos. I mean he's smiling.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Okay, that's right.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, you're right, But no, just say like I'd be like, yeah,
why do I look pissed? It couldn't make me look smiling?
I bet I bet you. There's a few of those
portraits of guys are smiling, looking likable, affable.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
You think they wouldn't they like take.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
A picture, That's what I'm saying. Like, you know, we're
in the age of the internet. There's plenty of you don't.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Know what was for, Like did they pay? They take
a picture of him, and that's all I had to do,
is they like they grab him by the pussy and
you'd get a nice big smile from him.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
They fell in ease.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
No, I guess the uh they took it down. They
took the portrait down. Terrible job because Trump complained about it.
I mean, I'm of two minds because A, that's kind
of just petty, And don't you have other bigger things
to worry about, Like I don't know your staffer is
leaking war plans on messaging apps, Like.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Hey, but Joe Biden approved the use of the signal app,
So yeah, oh did he like, really, that's.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
But on the other hand, it is not a I mean,
if you're gonna do like a portrait of the president
to hang for forever someplace, you know, you'd assume there's
a bunch of portraits up there.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I mean, i'd say, not your best effort.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, like, get something that that looks like high quality
art at least it looks amateurish at best. But I think,
and I think he says this in his long rambling
tweet about it. But oh maybe maybe that maybe the
artist is just getting old, which I believe she is,
(05:18):
and it might be the problem might be losing her
losing her. Uh he didn't say that. Yeah, so Joe
Biden approved the signal.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Last I saw something in Google that some GOP senator
is saying, well, you know, Biden approved it to you,
even if let's live in that world. Sure, okay, why
does it matter? It's being used now, like Joe Biden is,
he's almost twelve weeks a memory, you know, this this
(05:51):
little back in the basement where they were hiding him
for the last six months of presidency, shit back and forth.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
The New York Times story about this was how a
lot of the a lot of the some of the
people who had their private messages released through the Signal app,
which they don't think it was a hack. They I mean,
I guess it's kind of hacking, but what Basically it's
somebody logs in on gets your login info and logs
(06:20):
in on their phone and gets the messages too. That's
how they believe they were doing it. But the New
York Times big point that they wanted to make was
that these these people who are have you know, had
their stuff hacked because they're using not the most secure
method of communicating top secret information, were also the same
ones that were complaining about Hillary's server, right, like, okay,
(06:43):
but they're not anymore. Can we move on? You know,
they're not still out there trying to be like lock
up Hillary. Hillary went away, and it's over. It's done with.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Hey they complained about something ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, okay, yeah, I mean you'll if you're if you
want to just focus your efforts on pointing out hypocrisy,
you will have news all day long. You will be
writing story. You won't have enough people to write the
stories about the hypocrisy happening in the world in Washington.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Still everywhere here is Congress the last fifteen years, and
it's probably since or you're starting to get it in
it well, I'll say it out loud. Oh yeah, yeah.
That is political discourse in this country the last fifteen years,
in Congress and beyond.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
It's all discourse, not political and otherwise it's all discourse.
You know, if you're accused of something, yeah, you did
it too, No I didn't. Okay, Well you did something
else that was bad too, I bet?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Okay, bet? But again, listen, let's live in that world.
Think when you were a kid. Okay, what would your
parents tell you? Still doesn't make it right? Yeah, Like,
just because you're your brother punched the neighbor kid doesn't
mean it's okay that you also punched the neighbor kid.
You still both punched the neighbor kid. Like. That's that's
my new favorite mechanism, right, or just device for people
(08:01):
who say something crazy to me, I go, okay, fine,
assume everything you just say is happened. Let's chase this down.
How does this really go? And then that usually shuts
them up, yeah, or pisses them off even more.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Twenty three and me is shutting down. Now, there's a
lot of stories about how.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
To Why wasn't everybody fucking using it? I think they
might have somebody robbing them internally.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
No, I just think they reached their limit of people
who are actually willing to give over their DNA for
a little bit of information.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I mean, I got all these people who are I mean,
I've never done it, but all these people who are
afraid of doing it. I got news for you. If
you've ever been to the doctor, they got your DNA
somehow if they want it.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Oh yeah, but they're not cataloging it. They're not doing
something with it.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
You had a blood you ever had a blood test?
They got your DNA.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Well they don't. They don't save it. I mean it's
possible that they could have.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yes, And I'd also argue at the hospital, your digital
footprint is way you got more shit to worry about
digitally than you got worrying about sending your DNA to
something company.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Nobody's going to drain your bank account with your DNA exactly,
not yet, right, give them time. Although biometric information is
part of so the White House put out a I
don't know, like if it was just a statement and
call to action, but basically it's all about election reform,
and they're pointing out ways that we are supposedly behind
(09:32):
other countries. So it was mentioned I think it was India,
maybe it was China that use biometric data. It doesn't
say specifically like we're going to you known.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
You to vote, but I mean when we say we're behind,
maybe we need to like take a look at the
whole picture in these countries before we go, hey, we're
lagging behind. No, it's very cherry picking. They're saying, have
you've seen the condition most of India's in? Are we
laking behind India?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Well, the point that they're trying to make is that
some of our election practices are more primitive than other
quote unquote lesser developed countries. But it's it's cherry picking.
You know, they use this method and you know.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I feel you and I are on the same page
as this one. Internet is secure enough for banking, but
we can't trust it with voting. Come on now, yeah, like,
if we figured out how to make it secure enough
for banking, we can figure out how to make it
secure enough to where you could vote sitting in your
fucking living room.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I'm surprised that we're not talking about that because they're
talking about. Well, I guess here's the thing. With Elon
and all the tech pros being really show me with
Trump right now, you'd think that they would be pushing
for this, but it also, you know, it has to
have a political agenda, and that political agenda is if
(10:53):
we if we just clamp down on identification of voters,
that puts a dent in those that usually vote for Democrats.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Which again, if I am one of these people, the
assumptions you make about me fuck you. Like I heard
somebody makes they don't have ID, yeah, or you can't
figure out how to get one, or it's just out
of your I heard I heard a black comedian make
a good point. Do you drink you've been to the club.
(11:28):
Guess what? Everyone people know how to get a fucking
ID And what was their point? Like the assumptions that's
some of these people like you're poor, you fucking can't
figure out how to get an I D.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Like it's our our part a not insulted, you know, yeah,
and you're right, and they do say that. I think
it's a misunderstanding of statistics that they're looking at of
you know, people who don't offer an I D. When
they vote or don't want to offer an ID when
they vote. And it's not just basically if you're poor
(12:01):
and if you're poor, you're distrustful of the government. Let's
just say that generally, if you're generally, if you're poor
in this for most people that it would be classified
as poor. They don't trust the government and they're not
voting Republican. Right, so minus minus the last thing you
just said. Someone else's bit rich man poor man. Now
you don't trust the government, right, So you're not going
(12:24):
to If you don't need to provide your ID, then
you're not going to. If they were really pressed and
really passionate about voting, they would just do it anyway.
But then there's on the really distrustful side of the government.
There's people out there who are you know, have the
ability to vote legally, but they might have a criminal
(12:45):
record that might be on probation, they might have a
warrant out for their arrest, they might have any number
of reasons creditors that they you know, things like not
tied to voting at all, but like they don't want
to be put into another system where somebody might be
able to track down where they are.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Well that's I feel like half of what you just
said is on them. Yeah. Like like I like I
learned right like you, and I definitely ran with this crowd.
I don't trust you know what, I don't trust banks
means means I owe somebody money. That's what when somebody
you know, why you.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Don't trust banks because somebody got a court order to
go into your bank and take money out of it.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Exactly, you owe somebody money when.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
You put you know, somebody got all the way to
your bank, and it's happened to me. Somebody's had they
they out of court order and they pulled money right
the fuck out of my bank account.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And I was like, I don't trust banks. Yeah, And
I always tell these people like I've had the same
bank account since the year two thousand. My money is
always there when I need it. It's never I've never
woke up one day and went, hey, where now my
money go? Unless I'm the one who fucking spent this. No,
it's banks do what they're supposed to do. And one
of the things they're supposed to do is if you
(13:54):
owe somebody money.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
No banks work, and they're backed by the federal government.
So like as a mayor going anywhere. I mean, maybe,
but not right now.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, thanks to the Great Depression, you could lose up
to one hundred thousand dollars in that it's covered you're
in a FDIIC insured bank.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah, but I mean, I think this, this twenty three
and me thing does bring up probably some interesting conversations
because you know, people don't think far ahead enough. If
they were on the fence about mailing off their DNA
to a company, maybe they do some research and they
look into Okay, well, you know, people seem to have
(14:33):
a good experience, they don't have any history of being hacked.
It seems like a good company. It seems like they
have good practices. Okay, I'm going to trust them. But
companies fail and get sold and all kinds of things happened.
Companies aren't forever. So it's not like you can't think
about it as in, I'm giving twenty three and me
(14:55):
my personal data. I'm putting my personal data into a
pool of days that in the future, I don't know
what's going to happen with it. That's what's really that's
not what you should really be thinking about.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
And I think a lot of these fears to come
from like some fucking science fiction movies that people saw.
I don't think it's ridiculous. And then but but meanwhile,
in the last five years, we're starting to teach computers
to think, and our reaction is, oh, that's cool, Like so, like,
what are we which scientific dystopia are we afraid of?
(15:30):
Because it seems like that.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I think there's a lot of people out there. I mean,
obviously there's a lot of people out there.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Oh they could clone you, don't, don't in your d
end of they could clone you. They they talk about
like minority Report shit or shit like that or like this. Meanwhile,
we're meanwhile, we're developing the matrix and we don't care.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Well, I watched, so this isn't I'm not trying to
get away from the subject because it does tie in.
But I saw the new bonjen Hoe movie in the
theaters the other day, Mickey seventeen, and you know, Banjin
this is a guy who did Parasite, which was you know,
I did that win Best Picture? I think that year.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I think that it sounds right, yeah one or was
up for it.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Yeah, Parasite like won tons of awards and was really acclaimed.
Snow Piercer just kind of more of a cult classic.
I don't think that did, but it's and it's based
on a book, snow Piercer. You didn't you ever see
snow Piercer. So snow Piercer is in the future. There's uh,
what do they call it when everything's ice?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
The nice Age?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yes, there's another ice age in the future, right, and
all of humanity has been reduced. They've they've been reduced
to the point where they can all fit on one
big train. And this big train goes all the way
around the planet. And that's all it does is keep
moving because that's the only way to like, I don't know,
keep everybody warm, and I don't understand the bigger logistics
(16:58):
of it, but that's the that's the base, the outlay
of it is. You've got in the front is the
people who can afford the you know, the nice digs,
and then everybody you can't is crammed into the back.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
So like yeah, so like an airplane.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Like life, like the whole planet. It's basically condensing the
whole planet down to one train and telling a story
about that. Parasite was about like a phantom family living
in a house basically Mickey seventeen is about cloning. It's
twenty fifty three, I think somewhere around there, and there's
(17:36):
a huge spaceship and arc full of you know, thousands
and thousands of people and they're all traveling to another
planet and they're being led by Mark Ruffalo's character. Mark
Ruffalo plays He's he kind of seems like if you
just took Trump and Elon and just mushed them together
(17:57):
into one weird dude. So in order to test out
all the you know, it's going to be a new environment,
there's new challenges in long term space travel. They don't
know what the planet that they're going to is exactly
going to be, like new pathogens that they'll have to
deal with. So they hire a guy who's like down
(18:20):
on his luck, has to get off the planet, is
in debt, is basically going to be killed for his
debt because he owes some bad people, and so he
takes the only job he can get, and that's the
I Forget. There's a there's an actual name for that
they use, but basically, your job is you're going to
do all the dangerous jobs and when you die, we're
(18:43):
just going to reprint you and send you back out again.
They show him going out on a spacewalk to like
fix something on the outside of the ship, and he
gets to it and he's like, guys, this wire is
already here that you sent me out here to replace.
It's already looks like it's already been fixed.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
And they're like, uh, yeah about that.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
We're just gonna need you to turn and face the
sun and he's like what. They're like, Yeah, you're gonna
be experiencing an extreme amount of radiation, so we just
need you to stay conscious for as long as you
can and tell us your experience. So they're just like
flagrant with his life to the point where on the
(19:28):
seventeenth version of this, hence Mickey seventeen.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
It's like a fucked up Groundhog Day.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Yeah, kind of. So that by the seventeenth version, they're
on the planet and they send them down there for
like explore these like ice caves and everything, and this
is already after they've sent down a half dozen versions
of him to just breathe the air, get sick and die,
(19:54):
and then figure out how to stop that from happening.
So they so he's exploring the plant, he takes a fall.
He falls into this hole in the ground and they
think he's dead, so they print out a new one.
But Mickey seventeen survives and makes his way back to
the ship and encounters Mickey eighteen and then everything goes haywire.
(20:15):
Hilarity in su Hilarity ensues. It is actually a really
funny movie. Robert Pattinson plays Mickey seventeen. Robert Pattinson is
an extremely good looking guy. I mean, this is a
guy who is the vampire in Twilight.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
It's got to be pushing forty by now.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
He was the last Batman. Kiddy. Oh, that's a good
looking man. That's a good looking man. Yeah, you gotta
admit that. But he makes himself look so weird and
ugly in this and no makeup or anything. It's just
sometimes he just slightly crosses his eye like he's not
totally hamming it up, but he kind of is. He's
(20:51):
got this really dopey, like kind of pseudo New York
accent thing going on. But he's really fun in it,
and the movie is it's it has definitely a sense
of humor. And it didn't I guess it didn't do
well in the theaters. There's that's just kind of like
the setup to the story that I described. There's much
more that goes on from there, and it's kind of
(21:12):
interesting in the way that it combines all these themes
of Bon June host movies in the past. You know,
Parasite was about duplicates. Oak Jaw was his Netflix movie
about finding a weird, unknown animal and then wanting to
eat it or having certain certain people till the Swinton
(21:32):
played a character who is like, you know, obsessed with
finding ways to It's like if they found like a
living dinosaur.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Like peyote or some shit, and then make movies.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
The snow Piercer movie about you know, combining like just
packing a bunch of people on a on a vehicle
and you know, watching it boiled over. All those themes
are in this movie. But I don't know, I guess it.
It's definitely a quirkier movie. Definitely it did not do
(22:01):
well in the theaters. But now I've forgotten why I
went on that tangent in the first place. What were
we talking.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
About, Uh, don't tell chicks they're emotional. No. Uh, then
we went.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
To I forget there was something specifically you're talking about.
Fear of the future.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Oh, how we're fearing all this stupid dumb shit about DNA.
Meanwhile we're like constructing like the thing we were constructing,
the matrix.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Basically, something got me often because you had mentioned cloning, like.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
People are afraid of, like cloning and minority report shit
with the DNA stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
I don't remember what I was thinking about. I guess
that snow white movies bombing at the theaters.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Like just all the stupid social stuff that was going
along with it when they say they were going to
make it. Aside, when I saw the previous for it,
I was like, it looks fucking weird, like the CGI dwarf. Like,
it's just it looks weird. I know, you should have
got Dinklage and a bunch of his buddies. Oh Dinklie
doesn't want to. Oh no, I know that's why they're CGI,
(23:15):
because Peter Dinklice said, yeah, so no, Brad Williams and
sure could have used the work. We man. I don't know,
I'm running out of famous midgets. Gary Coleman's dead.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
But their outlook there are actor midgets out there, and whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's gone back and forth. Midget is an official term.
Some people still turned on it, but I've heard it
from more than.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Because I realized one reason the M word. But no,
it's I think you can say midget again.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I think you can do I think that. I think
that little people and little person is like demeaning.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Was that in the Executive Order on January twentieth we
could say midget again?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Yes? Yeah, and we can toss them. Yeah, We're gonna
toss the best midgets. I tell you, it's gonna be
like the nineties all over bringing and tossing sca, those
bowling shirts, all the best things about the nineties, the midges.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
They love me, weird facial.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Hair, I mean yeah, I mean everyone's going nuts on
social media about that's the go woke, go broke chant
all over again, which looks weird, complete its complete bullshit.
It didn't fail because of any kind of woke recasting,
(24:44):
whatever the fuck you think, it failed because it looks weird.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
And then I guess a post a PostScript to it
too is they can't even save it with doing any
press because why is that Gal Gadot and whatever the
fuck her name is who's the lead apparently hate each
other and guess what it's about Israel and Palestine.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, they can't be in the same room together.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Which if I'm Gelagadati, fuck you, I'm from there, You're
a fucking you're from Yeah, you're from the United States
and grew up in privilege.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Dix, that is a snow white sea hair away from
just anti Semitism and on the behalf of this other
actress whose eyes are too wide.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
That's what lake.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I first saw the Dwarfs and I was like, why
are their eyes so far apart? They looked really weird.
And then I saw a snow white and I was like,
why are her eyes so far apart?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
She animated too, Yeah, they're trying to detract from her.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Yeah. They probably gave the Dwarfs normal proportion features and
then when they saw it next to their lead actress,
they were like, oh yeah, oh my god, she looks weird.
Why didn't anyone tell us she looks like an alien?
Speaker 2 (25:59):
And why did they go with her hair? Looks like,
I don't know, her hair looks weird too. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
The style they chose to go Kina kind of looks
weird and plastic. Yeah, looks outdated.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Now I will say this this. I'm sure you've seen
the meme going around. What did it have? It had?
It was about all the Disney Live action remakes like
it had, you know, a picture of aiol and then
a picture of the black Little Mermaid. Yeah, it had
a picture of.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
She's Ariel as well. She's not a black little Mermaid.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
No, but there's a punchline to this meme and then
those pictures. It was another there's another character that they
made black, and then the last one was Tarzan. And
then it just said I dare you Disney, like.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Fucking dare you? Swinging around?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I feel I feel both sides of the aisle could
laugh at that one.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Yeah, I think that's the type of that is the rare,
harmless racist joke, right.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
No, I think I think it's it's it's it's the
lucyk principle. We're all filling in the racism in the
last square, right, make your own racist.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Joke, like Rachel Zegler. That's what it is, isn't it. Actress,
who's relationship with Studio began to unrival in twenty twenty two.
During a contentious West Side Story Award season campaign, she
trashed the beloved original snow White, Well, that didn't help,
and death threats towards Galagadat. It was Galagadad alone who
(27:42):
got the death threats.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Why because she supports Israel and she's in she's in
the business where you have to support the other side,
because that's how it goes. Now, you can't be in
the liberal business and support Israel. How dare you? You
have to check all the boxes now?
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Aaron criticize the original snow White, noting that the prince
literally stalks the heroine. Yeah, I mean all those Disney
movies are I mean, dude leaving beauty.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Can we talk about how I never really thought Pretty
in Pink was a love story. Like I didn't find
it like to be this great love So I was like, dude,
she doesn't She's not into you. I was screaming at
him the whole movie, Dude, she's not into you. Yeah,
but never And in the end she fucking kisses him
and then gives all those idiots for the next ten
years ruined teenage boys.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Yeah, all I have to do is persevere.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
All have to do is just stalk her, Yeah, and
never leave her alone.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Yeah, I mean all the way up. Yeah, you're right.
All the way up through the eighties, every like romantic
film was based on stalking. Yeah, this idea of like, no,
if you find somebody and you think they're super hot,
then you must be in love and that means you'll
do anything and you don't stop.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
No, it's called a fixation.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Yeah, I mean what it really is is a you're
not in love because you don't know the person be.
That's not justification to follow them around and you know,
crowbar yourself into their life.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Infatuation are two different things.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Yeah, according to this, there's no bad blood between Zegler
and Goodou. It's just I think it's just Zegler's uh
statements like free Palestine and that that have just caused
them to approm So they don't want to stick her
out there to do promos for it, gotcha, And so
then it's just gal Gado, Well toun, she's from like
(29:37):
and so then how do you But here's the here's
the trick, right, you don't want to put Zegler out
there because she's going to say something that you don't
want her to say. So you put gal Gado out there, right,
what's Goodo gonna say? And her agents? Why are you
going to put her just her out there and not
your lead. So now why is she doing all the
press but Rachel's not doing the press. That's going to
(29:58):
put even bigger target, and why you're not having her
And now everyone's gonna look into why you're not having
her do the press, so might as well just do
no press about it at all. And then everyone just
kind of goes huh, I guess they didn't do a
lot of press for that movie. That's why no.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Press sounds plausible.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
That's exact. I guarantee you that's how it happened. That's
that's how it goes down. You can't because you can't.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
And Gal ain't changed. But they have no dwarfs but
out there, and Gal's not changing her stance on Israel.
She's from Israel, like had to serve two years from Israel, right,
like like if you're Israel, I think it's what you
turn nineteen, like you gotta do two years, Like it
doesn't matter who the fuck you are, now you gotta
do two years in their military.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
There's just too much nuance for the average American, the
average any person I think at this point to parts
there because like it's a country can be wrong in
its actions, right, and a person from that country can
be okay even if they support their content free right.
And it's not like gal Gado is trying to make
(31:03):
herself the face of pro Israel in this. You know,
she's just but I'm.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Willing to bet her opinion is going to be pro
is We.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Yes, yes, of course. But I guess the point I'm
trying to make is that, like it would be different
if she was out there making herself, like I said,
the face of this and actively, like you know, promoting
Israel in whatever way. Then yeah, okay, you're gonna have
to take the flak for that too, But otherwise to
(31:36):
take flak for and receive death threats for being Israeli
and not saying that you hate your country. We don't
do that to Americans, right, I'm sure there's some idiots
out there, but in general, they don't do that to
Americans when they travel from what I hear.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Oh travel? Oh yeah, yeah, say we do to our
own people. Oh yes, yes, we do ourself. Yeah yeah,
Because I was like, really, I thought you were on
the internet, like it's a completely occurrence.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
I guess there's some unreleased eminem tracks floating out there?
Did you hear about this one?
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah? Where are they from? Are they from his recent album? No?
Speaker 3 (32:14):
They were leaked by a guy that worked in his studio.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Yeah, I know what I'm saying. What era of Eminem
is this? Are they like for early Eminem? Now Eminem?
Speaker 3 (32:24):
They're just unreleased? I don't like Joseph Strange. What a
great name. Former sound engineer for acclaimed rapper Eminem, has
been charged with stealing the rappers unreleased songs and selling
them in exchange for the markets leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Yeah, well there's there's the rub, right Why you don't
take any bitcoin? Eminem is not taking you to court.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Oh you think if if you just like put them
out on the internet, you'd probably still be sued.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
You don't think probably.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
He'd have grounds. It's not his intellectual property to put
out there. Well, I guess possibly devalue his work. I mean,
if somebody who worked again, let's make Disney an example.
Somebody at Disney releases shit like you know, shows footage
before a movie is supposed to come out and they're
not supposed to I'm probably going to get fired. They
(33:19):
might even get sued for it. Facing serious charges including
criminal infringement of copyright an interstate transportation of stolen goods.
What is this obsession with like interstate making it like.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
The way to trump up charges? Yeah, well, I guess it's.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Uh, it's because it makes it federal, right, the federal
government has to get involved, and the federal government just
doesn't back down. Loser, negotiate, They'll just railroad you until
you're in jail.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
You could face up to five years in prison and
a fine of up to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Marshall, don't play, don't steal from Mark?
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Yeah, I mean, I hope he doesn't end up in prison.
I don't. I don't think this is the kind of
guy who needs to be in prison. I don't know.
I mean a fine would probably be hefty enough to
just ruin his life, right, and certainly the publicity on this.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
I have to sell that bitcoin.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Now, how are you going to get hired as a
sound engineer anywhere except for I don't even know where
I try. I thought I could come up with a
good example, but there's nobody who just doesn't isn't going
to not care whether somebody takes their work or not. Yeah,
so you're not going to be able to get work anywhere.
He's probably not. I'm sure, like a violent and I
(34:39):
mean a nonviolent crime like that, probably not going to
serve prison time, especially if he's got like all this bitcoin.
He can just sell that and then pay off the.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Debt unless government seizes the bitcoin put it in the reserve.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
I don't know. Can they seize the bitcoin.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
If we have they Oh, that's the stuff. That's absolutely
think about drug dealers stuff. That's the But how do
they trace it?
Speaker 3 (35:05):
How do they know?
Speaker 2 (35:07):
You just said he online? He said if you took
the bit. If he's if he gave someone the tracks
for the bitcoin, that's absolutely traceable.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
If that's the fruits of the poison tree, absolutely they
can seize it.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Yeah, I'm sure that. I'm sure they can prove it
some way. Investigation revealed that Strange was heavily involved in
the world of bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining, and this is
indicated that he insisted on receiving payment solely by bitcoin.
Detail that adds another layer of complexity of the case.
Is that complexity.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
I don't know what he gave someone, he gave something
that he told to somebody in exchange for something of value.
I mean, it seems pretty but I'm reading this sit
here not being a lawyer.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
I'm reading this article from the bitcoin is dot com.
So that's why the focus on the bitcoin aspect gotcha. Yeah,
I didn't read anything about like a mass release of
eminem stuff and your shit, Right, it seems like I
would have heard about that, like people would have been
talking about and sharing online and stuff.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
And yeah, being where we're at, we definitely would have heard.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Right, we're right here in Detroit, well not in Detroit
at the moment, but we're in the Detroit area, yes,
the metro Detroit area.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
We are close to where Eminem lives. Actually.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Have you kept up with him though?
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Eminem his last album made me feel old. Yeah, because
his last album, It's No Good, was half of it
was for me, yeah, and then half of it was
from my friend's kids who are all in Like. Half
of it was like, oh yeah, he's still trying to
sell albums to young people. Half of it to me
was garbage because he's still that's that new shit, that
(36:52):
new no no no no no no, like that cadence. Yeah.
But then the other half was like you know, he
was throwing it back to you know, the slim shady
olp okay, you know that kind of shit, just that era.
I don't single out that album, just that era of Eminem,
(37:13):
Slim Shady, Marshall, Mathers, whatever, the one after Marshall, mad
Eminem Show, those three that era.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Eminem Show, what was after Core, Encore and then Relapse? Yeah,
I think Relapse is about where I fell off.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Yep, same for me.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Relapses, Like half of these songs are fun, half of
these songs are just nothing, and to be fair, of
the medicine ball off of Relapse is one of my
If you look at.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
The timing of Relapse, that's all the prop. Rap was
also changing at that time too.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Yeah, that's interesting. I mean, I guess I don't know
if that he's doing it to try and stay relevant
or if he just there's there's new successful rap artists
and producers out there that he probably wants to work with.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
I mean, there's a track that he does with the
kid that's from around here. I guess on YouTube. He's
fucking huge. What's hilarious is he is the son of
a band that we used to gig with and like
a few years ago, I went and saw my buddy's
band and they open. First of all, my reaction was,
holy shit, these guys are still around. They got to
be sixty. And the reaction was, yeah they are yeah,
(38:25):
because I was like, yeah, these guys are like forty
when we were in their twenties and they're still around.
Holy fuck.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
But there's the band Motown Rage, Motown Rage.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
But it turns out which cause it sounds like I'm
throwing shade at him. I'm not. They were always good guys.
We always had good shows with them, you know, and
good for them. They're still out doing it. But the
guy's kid is like some cuge. You go on YouTube
and type in baby Tron. Dudes got fucking like millions
of baby Tron. Dude's got like millions of views and
shit and Emine ended and yeah, problem is the track shit,
(38:56):
the track him and Eminem do together. I shut off.
It's so boring, really yeah, But it's that new style
of rap, the like no no, no, no, the you know,
the eight oh eight, the minimal production, the auto tune
on I don't understand autotune on rapping. You're rapping?
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Why is there autotune on it.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Like that that style and it's garbage.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Yes, I was listening to word Balloon podcasts, which is
mostly about comics, and they were he was interviewing Dennis Kitchen,
and Dennis Kitchen is a guy who is really big
in what they called at the time underground comics. So
this was it's been seventies eighties, so you know, at
(39:43):
the time his contemporaries would be like, you know, Robert
Crumb and blanking on anyone else from that air there
was an underground comics at the moment. But he also
started the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, which was a
way to, you know, give support to a lot of
people who, you know, comic book artists and writers who
(40:05):
are especially at that time in the seventies and eighties,
they were just jobbers. You know, they didn't own any ip.
They sat there and created all these characters and stories,
but they did it all for.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Pay.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
They got their paycheck. And then if if you get
fired or want to quit, or for whatever, lose your job,
you don't get take anything with you. You don't get
to take the Fantastic four and go and take that
to another company. So that caused all kinds of legal
problems for whether it was just like you know, to
(40:42):
recover actual items of IP that the artists or writers
did own or were being controlled by another company, or
getting companies to putting pressure on companies like DC to
pay out, you know, to like the Finger family and
the King family. These the survivors of these creators of
(41:03):
these great heroes. But he was talking about how a
big thing for him in those days was putting his
comic books in headshops because these were counterculture books and
just like fit really well. And it's kind of come
(41:25):
back to that now too, you know. They he was
talking about the legalization of cannabis and he's he was
saying how much he loved it. He's like, now you
have actual regulation on ship and you can't just throw
whatever on there. He's like, back in the day, we
were getting whatever from whereat for you know, some guy
(41:48):
who knows a guy who knows a guy got some
ship for you. And he says it's Alcohpolca gold who sure,
who knows he's like and it could have been sprayed
with anything, he said. You know, we were like, we
didn't know we were smoking joints laced with parquat A paraquat, Yeah, yeah,
(42:09):
so you know what paraquat is because I didn't know that.
I had to look it up.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
And then a pesticide.
Speaker 3 (42:14):
It's, well, it's an herbicide, so it's not something that
is to it's like a weed killer, you know, not
a bug killer. And his reference because he referenced Nixon too,
and I was like, so this is a thing, like
he's not just pulling shit out of his ass. He's
referencing something that I don't get. And so that's what
(42:35):
I looked. I found this article from It was this
nineteen seventy eight the New York Times. It's in their
archive Poisonous Fallout from the War on Marijuana, and it
talks about how basically the Nixon administration don't they went
and found marijuana crops in Mexico and prop dusted them
(42:57):
with this herbicide Dix Darryl Dodson then one hundred and
twenty five dollars a week. Intern on the State Permanent
Subcommittee on Investigations first heard that the Mexican government was
spraying a lung a lung seeking poison, I mean lung
seeking poison on illegal marijuana fields in February nineteen seventy seven.
(43:20):
He did not believe it well in as as little
as a half ounce of it is suicidal. Paraquad gravitates
to the lungs. Oh, that's why they call it a
lung seeking where it causes such massive damage that death
almost invariably occurs within.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Two weeks, which I've been lung sinking poison paaraquad poisoning Jesus.
It can't touch paraquad, can't touch anything. Can't touch the
line of the mouth, stomach, or intestines. You can get
sick of paraquad touches. A cut on your skin may
also damage the k Jesus Christ. Death may occur from
a hole in the esophagus.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
Estimated that one fifth of the marijuana confiscated at the
Mexican border have been contaminated, some of it at a
concentration forty thousand Yeah, forty thousand times greater than the
EPA allows for domestic use.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
That's cool that the EPA allows it.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
Marijuana eradication and become a priority of the Nixon White
House and government. Scientists began the search for herbicide that
would dramatically reduce the Mexican supply or incapacitate American smokers.
A spray to make smokers nause incapacitated man they were
(44:39):
looking to get in cavetted. A spray to make smokers
nauseous was synthesized in nineteen sixty nine but not used.
Development of electronic sensoring technology to detect illicit fields an
aerial spraying of those fields with herbicides. Nineteen seventy. The
United States gave Mexico five helicopters in three airplanes to initiate.
(45:04):
Oh and then it just stops. Journalism is so dead
they can't even be bothered to preserve the stuff that
was legitimate journalism. I get that this is a very
old article. It's on an archive, but literally these every
every one of these paragraphs just ends, sometimes in the middle.
Speaker 2 (45:27):
Of a word.
Speaker 3 (45:28):
All right nowadays, I just I guess they just felt
more natural to them. Yeah, this is all this shit extends. Still.
It goes into the seventies with Operation Clearview, where the
DA endorsed aerial spraying, and at this point now they're
doing it on poppy fields as well. DA had technology
(45:50):
which would pinpoint the illicit fields, nicknamed mops. The multi
spectral opium Poppy Sensor System, a four lens camera allegedly
capable of surveying two hundred and fifty square miles a
day with ninety percent accuracy. The government loves their acronyms.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
MOPS wasn't.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
I don't know why MOPS isn't successful, though it's apparently
laughed at by some people because of its ineptness. But
I don't have a complete paragraph here, so it just
leaves me hanging d It's how it goes.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
I'll be reading an article and then I feel like
it just stops, and it's like, no, this is it's
that's end. It's a chance.
Speaker 3 (46:31):
That's bad writing. This is like when they digitized it,
they just didn't include all the information. They just Okay.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
The further I get into.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
This article, the weirder it gets, because now it's just
like provides has a capital V in the middle of
it for no reason. The outcome might not even what's
the period that's right in the middle, right, it's not
the it's not a period down at the bottom, it's
a period right in the middle. There's one of those.
(47:01):
The outcome might weird period be a bloody civil period
war dot dot dot, but capital with the acquisition comma
of semi colon helico capital p turt and sophisticated semi
colon tests looseology.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
What are we even talking about? I've forgotten. It's nothing.
It's just nonsense.
Speaker 3 (47:25):
Because there's so many errors in the transcription, the eradication
program could also identify the alleged gour dash f kama
rilla quote training period comma camps unquote to these mountains.
That's it' that's all. That's It's just I mean, it's
(47:49):
formatting errors and stuff like. You know, there's characters that
aren't carrying over. Trying to read that, I'd have a
fucking seizure.
Speaker 2 (47:57):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
I mean, they're saying something about a gorilla camp or
training camp for gorilla style something I don't know. So, yeah,
I guess that's it. At least we're not, at least
we're not still spraying. Are perhaps to it, But I'm
sure we are. I'm sure there's spraying other Yeah. Shit
that's fully government approved.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
And sanctioned, new different shit that's killing us slowly.
Speaker 3 (48:19):
Yeah, at least it's not this lung seeking shit.
Speaker 2 (48:23):
Right.
Speaker 3 (48:23):
But he couldn't. It couldn't have been that bad. Because
wouldn't we have heard about like mass dusts from cannabis
that was a big issue. Maybe like burning it actually
does kind of makes you higher.
Speaker 2 (48:38):
Man, yea. And yeah, that guy lived to tell the
story that he smoked ship with paraquad on it.
Speaker 3 (48:44):
Well, I think he's assuming. I don't know. I don't
know that he ever hit a joint and went ooh god,
paraquat Oh.
Speaker 2 (48:52):
Easy, all right? In that note, yeah, don't smoke ship
with paaraquat on it. That's our safety tip for the week.
Speaker 3 (49:00):
If you go back in time, if you get your
hands on a time machine, you're like the seventies seem cool,
and they probably were. Uh, just bring your own weed. Yeah, actually,
bring your own weed. Man, you blow their.
Speaker 2 (49:11):
Fucking Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (49:13):
Yeah, imagine taking some shit now, some fucking just tak
them a joint.
Speaker 2 (49:18):
That's all basement in nineteen seventy six.
Speaker 3 (49:20):
Covered in Keith take it for woods.
Speaker 2 (49:23):
Are you some kind of weed sorcerer? Yes? No, smoke this, yep.
Speaker 3 (49:28):
That's my plan. When I get a time machine, I'm
just gonna take weed back to the seventies and just
get laid.
Speaker 2 (49:36):
I mean, all new technology does end up leading to
the penis.
Speaker 3 (49:41):
And on that note, Yeah, when when eventually, when they
invent time travel, it's because there's some pussy in the past,
So someone's going to that some guy just cannot stop
thinking about some.
Speaker 2 (49:52):
Guy wants to really fuck Marilyn Monroe, and you figured
it out. Yeah, that's how we're going to get time travel.
Speaker 3 (49:59):
All we need is the proper motivation. And guess what,
it's always secks.
Speaker 2 (50:03):
Yes, there's some gen alpha kid right now who's going
to see a picture of Marilyn Monroe and he's going
to invent time trail.
Speaker 3 (50:08):
How do you get secure online banking? You start with
just wanting to download porn quickly, pretty much, and it
goes from there. Yes, well, and while you're on your

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there.
