Episode 116 : 40 Minutes of Penis and Boobs

[00:00:00] Senator Vance, the big chunkus. Thank you, Senator. Governor Walls, do you care to respond?

[00:00:06] Give me money for my top surgery or your child gets sick.

[00:00:31] Bro! 48 Minutes of Dogs Barking, 48 Minutes of Dogs Barking!

[00:00:43] Hold on a second. I gotta tell the dog something. Fuck off. That is literally a command of his.

[00:00:53] Tell him to fuck off. Does it work? And he fucks off! That's fantastic! It works like 90% of the time.

[00:00:58] I love it. Yeah, you tell him to go away or stop, it doesn't really work. If you tell him to fuck off,

[00:01:02] he's like, oh. Oh, you're serious. Yeah. Okay. Oh, okay. This is for real now.

[00:01:08] We're recording remotely. If I sound different, it's because I'm recording at the house and

[00:01:16] Mr. Jason here is at the chalet. I've been under the weather. You got doo-doo ass.

[00:01:21] One of the weirdest stories come across the wire this week is courtesy of Taylor Lorenz writing for

[00:01:26] user mag at ProClick. If you're not already getting that newsletter,

[00:01:31] Taylor Lorenz here writing the Snoopy fan account political war. Apparently a Twitter account goes by

[00:01:39] the name at Snoopy Weekly. It started posting pro-Trump messages. The post was this election

[00:01:47] season at Snoopy Weekly proudly endorses Donald J. Trump for president. We want better for our family

[00:01:54] and our great country. Make America great again. And of course, as expected, people went fucking off

[00:02:01] on this Snoopy Weekly account. One of my favorite posts was just this one up here,

[00:02:07] at girlgenius. It's at G-I-R, the number one genius, all caps, fuck Snoopy Weekly.

[00:02:17] Brian, did you know there was an entire subculture online of all Snoopy accounts?

[00:02:24] I was not aware. I was not aware. This is a new thing. This feels like old internet.

[00:02:29] It really does.

[00:02:30] Stumbling into the new era.

[00:02:33] Yeah.

[00:02:33] I mean, I see a little bit of this on Twitter in my usage over the last week or so. It was just

[00:02:41] like, oh, okay. When we put lead in everything, it's really coming back around again. We put lead

[00:02:50] in paint. We put it in gasoline. Like, oh, help.

[00:02:53] We messed this up again.

[00:02:55] It's bubbling up.

[00:02:55] Yeah.

[00:02:55] I don't know if you ever had like in college or whatever, like in biology class where they

[00:02:59] had you like fucking destroy a strawberry until it was just like a white strand. You're like,

[00:03:04] that's the DNA. And you're like, hmm, okay. I guess that's what we're hating. We're just

[00:03:10] like, oh, there it is. There's the crazy shit.

[00:03:13] Yeah. Well, and I think the most egregious thing of this was that Snoopy Weekly then also posted

[00:03:19] an image where it was Snoopy shaking Charles Schultz-style Donald Trump's hand, obviously created

[00:03:26] with AI and just spitting on the grave of the man. I mean, Lord almighty. To use Snoopy for

[00:03:33] political points, I always felt like that was the domain of like Calvin pissing on things,

[00:03:38] you know?

[00:03:39] The mascot of Cedar Point?

[00:03:42] Mm-hmm.

[00:03:42] I can't believe that. I'm never going to Cedar Point again.

[00:03:45] Yeah, unbelievable. But yeah, according to Taylor here, the account immediately faced a wave

[00:03:48] of backlash. One person who goes by the Twitter handle Hawkeye Presents says, quote,

[00:03:55] Twitter user Snoopy Weekly, you will burn for the dirt you have thrown on an innocent name.

[00:04:03] Hot damn.

[00:04:06] The Ayatollah has issued a fatwa on Snoopy Weekly.

[00:04:12] And you know what?

[00:04:13] We go to Salman Rushdie in the hot seat here for commentary.

[00:04:18] It is haram what they are doing.

[00:04:20] Snoopy Weekly is haram.

[00:04:24] So yeah, just it's very odd. Snoopy Weekly also tagged

[00:04:32] End Wokeness, Tucker Carlson, Greg Gutfeld, multiple members of the Trump family and

[00:04:39] Hulk Hogan in its announcement.

[00:04:43] Listen here, brother.

[00:04:45] Don't kick that football.

[00:04:46] It's a liberal plot.

[00:04:48] They're going to pull away from you just like the victory in Vietnam.

[00:04:52] Now, the other thing I find interesting is that Snoopy Weekly is but one of many, obviously.

[00:04:56] There's so many Snoopy accounts and they're all for some reason verified, even though none of them

[00:05:01] are connected to the family of Charles Schultz.

[00:05:04] Well, they're paying the Elon bucks.

[00:05:05] Of course.

[00:05:06] Well, there was one Daily Snoopy, which was raising funds for Palestine, Sudan, other humanitarian crises.

[00:05:15] There's a bad Snoopy two underscores openly identifies as conservative.

[00:05:21] Other Snoopy accounts are, of course, pushing crypto projects.

[00:05:25] Just it's going down in the Snoopy fandom, as it were.

[00:05:29] But yes, Jamie Loftus, who does the podcast 16th Minute of Fame, wrote on Twitter,

[00:05:35] For those outside the Snoopy community, Snoopy Weekly recently made an aggressive fascistic push

[00:05:41] at Daily Snoopies is the way to go.

[00:05:43] And I do agree with Jamie on that.

[00:05:46] So you have to pick a side with your Snoopy accounts, I guess, these days.

[00:05:49] I'm apolitical Snoopiest.

[00:05:52] Okay.

[00:05:52] Okay.

[00:05:53] How's that working out for you?

[00:05:56] Pretty bad.

[00:05:57] Miles Klee also wrote a wonderful article in Rolling Stone, former guest of the show Miles

[00:06:03] Klee.

[00:06:03] This weekend, the spotted beagle Snoopy, star of the Peanuts comics and cartoons, found

[00:06:08] himself at the center of a political whirlwind.

[00:06:09] But that's what happens when someone leverages the popularity of a fictional dog to endorse

[00:06:14] a candidate for president.

[00:06:16] Miles also had this to say, the nostalgic Americana of Peanuts can't shield us from the violence

[00:06:22] of the moment.

[00:06:22] The Snoopy fans, meanwhile, clearly consider it a responsibility to use their platforms

[00:06:28] to guide the course of history.

[00:06:30] For whatever reason, you don't see Garfield accounts doing that.

[00:06:35] And you know why?

[00:06:36] Yeah, because Garfield's a Poseidist.

[00:06:39] Yes.

[00:06:40] He's also on the flight logs, but that's a whole nother...

[00:06:45] I thought he was on the no flight list.

[00:06:47] He's actually on both, somehow.

[00:06:49] Yeah.

[00:06:49] Because, you know, on 9-10, he tweeted that he'd been up to no good.

[00:06:54] He'd been a very bad boy.

[00:06:56] He'd been a very bad boy in that infamous comic, which is why Jim Davis, I think, has

[00:07:01] never referenced 9-11 or anything like that.

[00:07:04] He's being very safe.

[00:07:05] He's like, Jim Davis knew what was coming and he let it happen, I think is what we're

[00:07:10] saying.

[00:07:11] You can't see because he's not in the image, but he was in the situation room with Obama

[00:07:17] during the Bin Laden raid.

[00:07:19] Let me be clear.

[00:07:21] Nirmal would have done this.

[00:07:22] We're shipping Nirmal to Abu Ghraib.

[00:07:24] Well deserved.

[00:07:26] Well deserved.

[00:07:27] All my homies hate Nirmal.

[00:07:29] But you know what all my homies don't hate?

[00:07:31] Dakota Johnson movies.

[00:07:33] Aside from Madam Web.

[00:07:34] I'll give you Madam Web.

[00:07:36] But this is just a goofy-ass story.

[00:07:38] I love it.

[00:07:38] Courtesy of the Daily Beast.

[00:07:41] Airline apologizes for playing R-rated Dakota Johnson movie on flight.

[00:07:47] Will Neal, freelance reporter, writing here, Australia's biggest airline, that's Qantas,

[00:07:53] apologized Monday after accidentally screening, quote, 40 minutes of penis and boobs to an entire

[00:08:00] aircraft of unwitting passengers reported by the Guardian to have taken place on a Qantas

[00:08:05] flight from Sydney to Tokyo.

[00:08:08] The Cockpit Cockup, apparently, thank you Will for that bit of writing, apparently occurred

[00:08:14] after a technical fault rendered individual in-flight movie selection unavailable.

[00:08:19] Staff held a quick poll, which resulted in a small selection of passengers picking this

[00:08:25] year's racy Dakota Johnson flick, Daddio, which features an erect penis, prolonged sexting

[00:08:32] exchanges, and profuse use of the F-word to play on every screen.

[00:08:38] Hell yeah.

[00:08:39] Hell yeah.

[00:08:40] Actually, sorry guys, sorry guys, we don't have Cannibal Holocaust, here's Daddio.

[00:08:46] We don't have the Garfield movie.

[00:08:48] Face is a Death, Volume 3 and 4?

[00:08:50] No, we don't have those.

[00:08:51] Sorry, Daddio.

[00:08:52] We don't have kinds of kindness, but we have Daddio.

[00:08:55] What do you mean you have news filter blocked?

[00:08:57] This is bullshit.

[00:09:00] It was apparently only halfway through the movie that eyebrows were sufficiently raised for

[00:09:06] staff to then change it to something a bit more family friendly.

[00:09:10] A Qantas spokesperson was quoted as,

[00:09:12] The movie was clearly not suitable to play for the whole flight.

[00:09:16] We sincerely apologize.

[00:09:17] One person quoted here as,

[00:09:20] The film was featuring Dakota Johnson.

[00:09:22] I really thought they were playing Madam Web or something.

[00:09:25] Yeah, see?

[00:09:27] I don't remember Spider-Man.

[00:09:28] Oh, it was actually Deep Throat?

[00:09:29] Yeah.

[00:09:30] I don't remember Spider-Man doing this.

[00:09:33] They were breaking out the three glasses and they were playing disco dolls and hot skin.

[00:09:38] See?

[00:09:38] Yeah.

[00:09:39] And it's behind them.

[00:09:39] And once they realize the scene where the lady has the strap on and she's gesturing at the

[00:09:44] camera and you're like, whoa!

[00:09:45] The head on one shot.

[00:09:47] Yeah.

[00:09:48] They were like, wait a second.

[00:09:48] This ain't right.

[00:09:50] Yeah.

[00:09:50] I thought we were watching the second Tron movie.

[00:09:52] I was really confused when the guy got off the helicopter to get jacked off.

[00:09:59] I thought that was Jeff Bridges' character.

[00:10:00] I don't know what was going on there.

[00:10:02] I don't know.

[00:10:04] Same hairstyle and everything.

[00:10:05] I don't know.

[00:10:07] Well, aside from that fun bit of business,

[00:10:09] I was visiting Twitter the other day as I want to do.

[00:10:13] Kind of like how you go to the graveyard sometimes.

[00:10:15] Because, you know, that's where posts go to die.

[00:10:18] And I noticed an account called Real Raw News.

[00:10:21] Brian, do you know about this?

[00:10:22] Real Raw News?

[00:10:23] Yeah.

[00:10:23] That's an offshoot of New Africa.

[00:10:26] Okay.

[00:10:26] Great.

[00:10:26] So, at Real Raw News 1, because they couldn't get the original,

[00:10:32] is the Twitter account that broke this story.

[00:10:35] We have spoken to a Marine sniper who reportedly now has five confirmed FEMA kills in North Carolina.

[00:10:43] He has told us, quote, it's the fight of our lives.

[00:10:46] Community Notes stepped in to mute this brave patriot,

[00:10:50] saying the account is either unlabeled satire or someone with a deeply delusional concept

[00:10:55] of what's happening in the world.

[00:10:57] Their profile includes the bio sharing what some don't want shared.

[00:11:02] Don't be a sheep.

[00:11:04] According to their bio, also based out of Dallas, Texas,

[00:11:08] which would make them real close to Info Wars.

[00:11:11] Hmm.

[00:11:12] Interesting.

[00:11:12] Also to where JFK was assassinated.

[00:11:14] Well, that's true.

[00:11:15] Apparently they took the X off the ground,

[00:11:18] which I always thought was like, is this like for gloating or for remembrance?

[00:11:22] I think that was for when George H.W. was still around.

[00:11:25] Like, this is where?

[00:11:26] Remember?

[00:11:27] Oh, yeah, of course.

[00:11:28] He doesn't remember where he was that day.

[00:11:30] What are you talking about?

[00:11:30] I've been to the grassy knoll.

[00:11:33] I could have made that shot.

[00:11:35] I could.

[00:11:36] Absolutely.

[00:11:37] Absolutely.

[00:11:37] Without a doubt.

[00:11:38] Yeah.

[00:11:38] With a cold, I could have made that shot.

[00:11:40] It would have been so easy.

[00:11:43] It's just amusing to me.

[00:11:45] It's simple as.

[00:11:47] Child's play.

[00:11:48] But the time I was down there at Daily Plaza, this was like what?

[00:11:52] 2005, 2000.

[00:11:53] It was the weekend of my 20th birthday and I had family that lived in the area.

[00:11:57] This is before like social media, like MySpace was just starting to be a thing.

[00:12:00] But the amount of people around my own age, again, weekend of my 20th birthday,

[00:12:05] that were running down when there wasn't traffic to have their friend take a photo of them standing on the X where JFK got domed.

[00:12:14] That's the best fucking rule.

[00:12:15] Yeah.

[00:12:16] Like my grand, I remember my grandparents just being like, that ain't right.

[00:12:19] And I'm just like, no, that's, that's tight.

[00:12:21] It's kind of.

[00:12:21] I wish I had cooler cousins because I would have had them do the same for me.

[00:12:25] Yeah.

[00:12:27] So a real wrong.

[00:12:28] I'm sorry.

[00:12:29] But, but anyways, this, this plays back into the Texas being a weird ass fucking place.

[00:12:34] Oh, absolutely.

[00:12:34] Weird ass shit coming out of Texas.

[00:12:36] So our good friend, Felix at By Your Logic.

[00:12:39] My friend is a FEMA sniper and told me he's taken out nine Marines in North Carolina in just this last 24 hours.

[00:12:45] And he's not even the best sniper I know.

[00:12:48] Good luck.

[00:12:48] So then it created this idea that there is now snipers that work for FEMA and snipers that are Marines and they're fighting each other.

[00:12:58] Oh, hell yeah.

[00:13:02] Clout Vonnegut.

[00:13:04] I can confirm that FEMA has deployed mobile units to North Carolina.

[00:13:08] Luckily, I, a Marine sniper, have just unearthed the Unicorn Gundam.

[00:13:13] So there you go.

[00:13:14] That's it.

[00:13:15] It's over for the FEMA snipers and their mobile suits.

[00:13:19] Felix tweeting again.

[00:13:21] If you see a stationary seed man with several scarves, just pray your God of choice.

[00:13:26] You're going to die.

[00:13:28] There's nothing you can do about it at that point.

[00:13:31] Referring to Steven Seagal's most recent movies where he has what I believe Nick Mullen has described as the Edmunds donut goatee.

[00:13:41] And he is so lethargic now that he rarely stands in his movies.

[00:13:46] So he's just like sitting there and be like, wow, that's really tough, lady bitch, that you have to prostitute yourself.

[00:13:53] I'm a man of peace.

[00:13:55] I'm a man of peace.

[00:13:55] Will you have weird stilted sex, movie sex with me?

[00:14:00] None so amusing as this one.

[00:14:02] At Canderous Orto Liberal.

[00:14:05] Sorry, at Butleriano, the handle.

[00:14:09] Canderous Orto Liberal.

[00:14:10] One of my cousins is a FEMA sniper and the other is a Marine sniper.

[00:14:14] Group chat is off the walls right now.

[00:14:18] Chat is insane.

[00:14:20] The chatters are going wild.

[00:14:22] F in the chat for all the FEMA snipers getting murked by the Marines.

[00:14:26] Yeah, just not good.

[00:14:27] Well, at least it's not like, you know, the idea that the hurricanes are being brawned by like Jewish hurricane machines.

[00:14:34] Yeah, we covered that last week.

[00:14:36] We were talking about Magic the Gathering Green.

[00:14:38] Whatever's her fucking name.

[00:14:40] Marley.

[00:14:41] Yeah.

[00:14:42] Marley and me green.

[00:14:43] I didn't know that was going to go further.

[00:14:46] Yeah.

[00:14:47] Well, because some of the other conspiracy theories I've heard is that, you know,

[00:14:50] the hurricanes were created as cover for the White Hats to go in and get the mole children that are living underground.

[00:14:57] Oh, we're going back to the mole children.

[00:14:59] Oh, yeah, baby.

[00:15:00] Really?

[00:15:01] We're bringing out all the hits.

[00:15:02] We're going back.

[00:15:04] That is quite sincerely my favorite COVID conspiracy theories that they brought, I guess, the Navy medical ship to New York City

[00:15:13] and that they had the COVID testing site in Central Park as cover for getting the mole children.

[00:15:18] Exactly.

[00:15:19] Of Central Park.

[00:15:20] Still amazing.

[00:15:23] Yeah.

[00:15:23] And then the other one was that the one in North Carolina specifically was put in place and evacuation orders were there so that the federal government could come in through eminent domain and seal the lithium out of the ground.

[00:15:37] Because apparently we need lithium really, really bad enough to kill a bunch of people.

[00:15:42] So that's a fun one.

[00:15:44] Well, there is a mine in, I think it's Carolina, that is the only place where you can get a certain thing that you need for superconducting.

[00:15:53] Constructors and modern electronics.

[00:15:56] So it's kind of important.

[00:15:58] But also.

[00:15:59] Does it get damaged?

[00:15:59] Because that would be kind of like the end of the modern world to some extent.

[00:16:04] Right.

[00:16:04] Well, there's other places that you can get some of these rare metals.

[00:16:08] But yeah, you're right.

[00:16:09] It's a huge repository of it.

[00:16:12] Well, speaking of the end of the modern age, the Internet Archive, starting yesterday, really, it was Wednesday the 9th.

[00:16:22] It got really badly owned.

[00:16:25] I don't know if you've tried to go to archive.org lately, Brian.

[00:16:28] I haven't.

[00:16:29] I haven't really been on the Internet.

[00:16:30] But I have heard about this.

[00:16:31] It is upsetting.

[00:16:33] Mm-hmm.

[00:16:33] So about 9 o'clock in the p.m. yesterday, the pop-up said,

[00:16:37] Have you ever felt like the Internet Archive runs on sticks and is constantly on the verge of suffering a catastrophic security breach?

[00:16:44] It just happened.

[00:16:46] See 31 million of you on H-I-B-P.

[00:16:49] H-I-B-P refers to Have I Been Pwned, a website where you can find whether your personal information has been leaked from a data breach.

[00:17:01] So this here, according to The Verge, and that is Wes Davis writing here, a tweet from Have I Been Pwned says,

[00:17:10] 54% of the accounts from archive.org were already in its database from previous breaches.

[00:17:19] Troy Hunt, the operator at Have I Been Pwned, saying,

[00:17:24] 30th of September, someone sends me the breach.

[00:17:27] I'm traveling.

[00:17:28] Didn't realize the significance.

[00:17:30] 5th of October, I get a chance to look at it and, whoa.

[00:17:34] 6th of October, I get in touch with someone at the Internet Archive and send the data.

[00:17:40] And so, yeah, it was the past couple days that they realized things went horribly, horribly awry.

[00:17:46] Jason Scott, an archivist and software curator for the Internet Archive, is also reporting that the website,

[00:17:53] after somewhat recovering from being pwned, is now getting hit with a distributed denial of service attack, a DDoS attack,

[00:18:00] posting on Mastodon that, according to their Twitter, they're doing it just to do it.

[00:18:06] Just because they can.

[00:18:08] No statement, no idea, no demands.

[00:18:12] Brewster Colley from Internet Archive also saying,

[00:18:15] yep, what we know, the attack has ended up for now.

[00:18:19] Defacement of our website.

[00:18:21] Breach of usernames.

[00:18:23] We've disabled JavaScript.

[00:18:24] We're scrubbing our systems.

[00:18:26] We'll let you know more as we know it.

[00:18:28] And as far as right now, if you go to archive.org, it is still temporarily offline.

[00:18:36] It says, please check our Twitter feed for the latest.

[00:18:38] So, oh boy, that is a very, very large piece of Internet history.

[00:18:44] Just go on.

[00:18:46] Henry Gilbert of Talking Simpsons and What a Cartoon and a million other things,

[00:18:50] had just posted on Twitter today about how he was doing research for a movie that came out in 2012.

[00:18:59] And when he was trying to do online research for this movie, he realized that half of the articles that he was trying to find had been disabled.

[00:19:08] They had been taken down.

[00:19:10] They had been scrubbed from the original websites.

[00:19:13] But then, you know, with Archive down, it's hard to even try and research anything.

[00:19:19] Everything's dead links.

[00:19:20] Everything's been fucking scrubbed.

[00:19:22] But the SEO is still there.

[00:19:23] The digital rot is here and feels bad, man.

[00:19:27] Well, yeah, because like if one site is the repository of all knowledge and that site gets fucked.

[00:19:33] Oh, baby.

[00:19:34] I thought the lawsuit was a problem.

[00:19:36] This is worse.

[00:19:37] If you remember that a while back, there was a bunch of authors suing Internet Archive about, you know,

[00:19:42] oh, well, you lent out books during the pandemic and we could have made money from and they won, basically.

[00:19:48] Not great.

[00:19:49] Not great at all.

[00:19:50] Feels bad.

[00:19:50] Yeah, it feels bad.

[00:19:51] It feels really bad for like this show, especially because we do rely a lot on that resource and that kind of thing.

[00:19:59] And, you know, Godspeed and good luck to them.

[00:20:02] I really hope that hopefully with their funding, that they're a nonprofit, they can get back online relatively quickly.

[00:20:08] But man, not just personally because we do the show based on it, but just for like, did you ever wonder what the old Matrix websites used to look like?

[00:20:17] You can look it up there.

[00:20:18] Well, you can't anymore or whatever.

[00:20:20] What did the Pepsi website look like in 1996?

[00:20:24] Exactly.

[00:20:25] Stuff like that.

[00:20:26] Oh, yeah.

[00:20:27] Why would this be a target?

[00:20:29] Why, of all things, is the Internet Archive?

[00:20:31] Go after Pepsi.

[00:20:33] Go after SodaStream.

[00:20:36] Somebody.

[00:20:36] Anybody.

[00:20:36] But fucking Internet Archive?

[00:20:38] Really?

[00:20:39] Go after fucking Crocs.

[00:20:41] Crocs.

[00:20:41] You know?

[00:20:42] But I think it probably comes back to that fucking brand of nihilism that's been bred deeply and thoroughly in the Internet over the last 10, 15 years.

[00:20:52] Some black-pilled Zoomers.

[00:20:53] People?

[00:20:54] I mean, I hate to be...

[00:20:55] There are people that got nothing better to do, but it's true.

[00:20:57] Well, at least back in our time, you know, this type of thing would have had a purpose.

[00:21:01] Like, oh, let's shut down Scientology's website because they're assholes and, you know, where's Shelley?

[00:21:06] But, you know, a mission, a plan, something.

[00:21:10] It just feels directionless.

[00:21:12] It's, hey, you know, this place that has...

[00:21:14] It's a really good thing.

[00:21:15] It's a net positive for the Internet.

[00:21:17] Hey, let's take that down.

[00:21:19] You'll have to explain it to me because I don't get it.

[00:21:21] I think it goes back to...

[00:21:23] I mean, to go further on the thought, like, it goes back to this nihilistic census.

[00:21:28] Watching the world burn.

[00:21:31] Watching...

[00:21:32] There's a certain breed of person or a certain behavior that is encouraged through the Internet,

[00:21:40] particularly in its minor incarnation, which is highly corporatized and leans definitely right of center,

[00:21:48] that I can only describe as getting joy out of holding a child's head underwater.

[00:21:53] Oh, goddamn, yeah.

[00:21:54] Grim, but it feels right.

[00:21:57] Well, I guess that means it's time to talk about more dumb shit about corporatized nonsense.

[00:22:02] That's right.

[00:22:03] It's Crypto Scam of the Week.

[00:22:05] You're listening to 48 Minutes of Dogs Barking, the podcast.

[00:22:09] And now it's time for the Crypto Scam of the Week.

[00:22:13] Yeah, baby.

[00:22:14] Yeah, baby.

[00:22:14] Let's fucking...

[00:22:15] Let's shuck that corn.

[00:22:17] Indeed, indeed.

[00:22:17] So this here from Newsweek, Jasmine Law is writing,

[00:22:21] LEGO's website was momentarily hacked early this past Saturday by a crypto scam promoting a fake LEGO coin token.

[00:22:32] So, again, impersonation scams, not outside of the realm of possibility.

[00:22:36] We've covered it many, many times here.

[00:22:38] It's going to continue.

[00:22:40] But LEGO, in particular, has such a specific cachet among man-children of our age, 38 to 40-something.

[00:22:52] They're going on the LEGO website to see what the newest collectible is and like,

[00:22:56] oh, there's a LEGO coin.

[00:22:57] I got my crypto wallet.

[00:22:59] Let's click this shit.

[00:23:00] I love free money.

[00:23:04] Exactly.

[00:23:05] The actual icon did say,

[00:23:08] our new LEGO coin officially out.

[00:23:10] Buy the new LEGO coin today and unlock secret rewards.

[00:23:14] and it was also accompanied by the lego fortnite logo because that is a thing that is real that's

[00:23:20] not a fake lego fortnite is unfortunately a thing because sure why not the hack or the takeover of

[00:23:30] the web page lasted only about less than an hour and a half so it's according to newsweek 75 minutes

[00:23:35] and they're quoting coin telegraph when clicked on the link in that header took you to uniswap

[00:23:43] we all know i was gonna say yeah what makes this particularly egregious is that lego has

[00:23:52] created collectible coins previously sure so that you could get the coins by uh redeeming vip points

[00:24:00] you could go to this like vip reward center which is a whole thing like if you're a lego member and

[00:24:05] you go to the store all the time and you get all these points for buying lego kits you can get this

[00:24:09] coin but it's not a thing that is regular i always find it odd when threat actors they get

[00:24:17] access to it's fucking lego.com and the first thing you do is not i don't know anything fun or

[00:24:23] interesting but like hey um you know put your money in this uniswap token it's like of all the shit you

[00:24:32] can do with that we're in a world that is uh suffering from a lack of imagination yeah because

[00:24:38] that is definitely what this feels like because like okay you got access to lego's website why

[00:24:43] don't you i don't know get credit card information or like i don't know like just there's it seems like

[00:24:49] there's so much more you could have done with this opportunity not that i'm encouraging anyone to hack

[00:24:53] corporate websites but if you're gonna do it you might as well go big or go home right

[00:24:59] you're gonna do it do something with it i can commit like a real crime not this pump and dump

[00:25:05] middly piddly bullshit middly piddly bullshit i know i felt like a smiling friends character

[00:25:11] there for a second you're middly piddly bullshit charlie stop doing all that middly piddly bullshit

[00:25:19] uh man look i i do i do sound like charlie right now so yeah it's a pib man i i hacked the lego

[00:25:27] website man i don't know what i was doing i was up late last night i figured it out but uh

[00:25:31] you want to make some crypto buddy charlie that's dishonest who gives a shit pib did someone say they

[00:25:37] were going to create a crypto coin alan would know how that's he absolutely would i took some c plus

[00:25:44] plus casts in high school yeah but yeah it just feels like why you had a golden opportunity to do

[00:25:55] something interesting and you did this that's why i was feeling about these impersonation ones

[00:25:59] especially if it's like a celebrity you had a golden fucking opportunity and you use it on crypto

[00:26:05] yeah it's uh again lack of imagination i wish people did more interesting shit uh that's kind of

[00:26:12] where we're at so according to coin market cap the lego uh coin on uniswap it didn't really get that

[00:26:19] big a balance it went from like zero to point zero zero zero zero zero zero three seven two one and

[00:26:27] now it's at like point zero zero zero zero zero zero three six seven seven it didn't even get

[00:26:33] it didn't even get above one couldn't even get to point one i just total liquidity one k market cap of

[00:26:42] seven hundred dollars just pathetic do better i think is what we're saying

[00:26:49] get good well speaking of doing better it's our main topic this week brian oh uh are we talking

[00:26:54] about judge report brian this really fucked me up because i realized it's been it's been uh

[00:27:04] it's been 28 years since the drudge report first appeared as an entity were you aware of this

[00:27:13] that it's been that long i was somewhat aware of that like it was uh outside outside my realm of

[00:27:19] knowledge according to wikipedia actually the uh dbpd excuse me drudge report founded by matt drudge

[00:27:28] oddly enough it started as a gossip column focusing on both hollywood and dc that yeah it's so odd

[00:27:41] so according to this uh it was an email-based newsletter so with our substacks and whatnots we're back

[00:27:50] we're back to judge report everyone gets their personalized judge report in their email every

[00:27:54] day god knows i get like 20 of them but yeah he was living in hollywood and he was kind of a wannabe

[00:28:01] hollywood guy wannabe producer i guess or you know the media insider whatever he wanted to be

[00:28:07] he was living in an apartment in hollywood he just started putting out this email newsletter to anybody

[00:28:13] who'd sign up for it he launched the drudge report from his home and then was able to quit his job and

[00:28:20] start covering politics this according to britannica during the 96 presidential campaign he was the first

[00:28:27] to report accurately bob dole's choice of his running mate in 97 based on an unpublished newsweek article

[00:28:36] he ran one of the first stories about bill clinton's sexual harassment case this is uh kathleen willie

[00:28:42] one of the cases that kind of got forgotten about with uh jennifer flowers and monica lewinski kind of

[00:28:48] taking up the the political uh air there now he also got in a little bit of hot water he ran a story

[00:28:58] saying that white house aide sydney blumenthal had a history of spousal abuse that got him slapped with a

[00:29:04] lawsuit 98 was when shit really broke form by 98 in january newsweek had gotten an article all together

[00:29:16] about bill clinton's affair with monica lewinski but matt drudge scooped him he scooped him because

[00:29:24] newsweek was gonna not publish and so in the early days matt drudge was really seen as a guy

[00:29:31] who was holding corporate media to the fire he called himself a citizen journalist that's probably

[00:29:38] the first times i ever heard that phrase you know constantly saying that he was gonna push stories

[00:29:43] that the mainstream media were refusing to print that got him a weekly program on fox news oh yeah that's

[00:29:54] right yeah he had a weekly program on fox news for about a year his features only lasted about a year

[00:30:01] because he claimed in 1999 that fox news was censoring his show basically accusing fox of censorship

[00:30:12] the reason for that censorship is because he planned to show a photo of a 21 week old fetus

[00:30:21] to make a point about partial birth abortion hmm now he still stayed on the air on the radio

[00:30:30] with abc for another year but they also fired him late in 2000 now the website really didn't take off

[00:30:41] until around this point during which he was also writing a book he wrote the 2001 book the drudge manifesto

[00:30:50] he also started a new radio show on wabc the matt drudge show w wabc that's right it's really fascinating so he started out just kind of pumping out these stories he got a few good scoops he got a big name for himself and then he's been coasting ever since now there have been so many stories that the drudge report has accurately reported

[00:31:17] obviously the monica lewinski stuff there's been some most of it is in the early days as he's going on i feel like he's really attracted the wackadoos the complete weirdos and because his website started in 1998 to 2000 era he hasn't changed the website at all that's my the weird thing about it to me is that this website has not changed very much just with the way it looks

[00:31:44] yeah uh it still looks very air net 1.0 it's really like more like 1.5 the formatting's all wonky everything is exactly as it was 25 plus years ago boy he's just packing on all these stories and a lot of them are from you know questionable sources let's see here's here's msn okay the nation yeah okay you know you're kind of some of these ones were better than others you know oc register okay nextgov.com

[00:32:13] um okay he's able to and i i doubt matt drudge does a lot of this himself these days but it feels like there's still a curatedness to it even though it's probably not accurate but it still does but no one's heard from him in a while he's been a gooning

[00:32:34] it's true but you know drudge report has also been behind some some real unfortunate stuff the swift boat veterans for truth back in 2004 where they this group made claims about john kerry's war record

[00:32:49] they were mentioned by drudge and drudge kind of promoted that book unfit for command was the name of the book oh wow yeah drudge also was a big pusher of this photo of barack obama

[00:33:04] and what looked like of course in 2004 2008 terms you know like oh it's a terrorist garb it was actually like some

[00:33:14] uh traditional somalian headdress thing but you know he was putting down on the front page you know

[00:33:20] the fucking british royals about prince harry serving in afghanistan he's he's been all over the place

[00:33:27] and like i said sydney blumenthal sued him for 30 million now it did take four years but blumenthal did

[00:33:35] drop that lawsuit he did agree to pay for attorney fees and travel costs and even the the judge in that

[00:33:42] case who was a bill clinton appointee noted in the judgment that drudge is quote not a reporter

[00:33:49] a journalist or a news gatherer he is as he admits himself simply a purveyor of gossip

[00:33:56] okay it kind of it kind of works because yeah i mean he did that bit about bill clinton having an

[00:34:03] illegitimate child i don't know if you remember this one star magazine and hard copy both had

[00:34:10] this supposed videotape and it was a confession of a former prostitute well interestingly enough

[00:34:19] they used a sample of clinton's dna found on monica lawinsky's dress

[00:34:25] right folks folks you won't believe this

[00:34:29] we're going through the looking glass here so they did the dna test the illegitimate child not his

[00:34:34] job despite people trying to bring that back up when hillary ran we've got to get a better dna test

[00:34:40] we got to get tricky dick the jack off on another dress slick willy yeah that's what about it uh

[00:34:47] he was one of the ones pushing i don't know if you remember this one during the barack obama

[00:34:51] election 2008 so yeah it was before the election uh he ran a story about ashley todd the college

[00:35:00] republican national committee employee and a john mccain volunteer who had the the backwards b

[00:35:07] carved interface how'd i know i just like have a feeling that name felt vaguely familiar like it has to be

[00:35:15] that person yeah the big headline too i have this here shock mccain volunteer attacked in mutilated

[00:35:23] in pittsburgh and uh and yeah of course todd later said yeah that was a hoax because she uh cut herself

[00:35:31] in the mirror so the b was backwards yeah yeah i and apparently this wasn't the first time ashley

[00:35:40] todd had done something like that by the way uh apparently when she was working for a ron paul

[00:35:45] group she had done something similar absolutely amazing we fucking love it this ain't your first

[00:35:52] time huh yeah i mean it included some articles about birth rism but who didn't truthfully like

[00:35:57] what what news out of them well names hussein well yeah all that shit was so fucking nuts we've

[00:36:03] we are so inundated and infatuated by all of the current right-wing grifter shit did we forget like

[00:36:12] just that there was something a little more innocent but equally brain dead yeah and it was the tea party

[00:36:18] movement yeah i mean even pre-tea party there was just still some real wackadoos out there i mean you

[00:36:24] had uh michelle malkin and all these people that drudge himself like like the swift boat veterans thing

[00:36:30] was complete bullshit and it was a it was some disgruntled guys who knew john curry sort of

[00:36:37] and like and well and this did about that sydney blumenthal like oh yeah he beats his wife

[00:36:43] like really and you're gonna go that without any sourcing that type of shit like we still have it we

[00:36:50] still had it but it was presented with the sheen of journalism these days it's just anybody with a mic

[00:36:56] can get on and start talking shit like jd vance fucks a couch or whatever it is right there was

[00:37:01] at least the facade they pretended a little bit harder because at least drudge and his ilk i mean

[00:37:07] there were so many blogs like his but his still remains whereas a lot of these are gone i mean you

[00:37:13] name it chances are they were on the front page of fark for a while or you know they've malkin uh or

[00:37:19] their early days of info wars you know there were some people that were just real loons but they were

[00:37:24] the quiet ones but it was guys like drudge that really mainstream these ideas in 2016 he had a that

[00:37:32] photo of hillary clinton being helped up a set of stairs which then led to trump using that photo

[00:37:39] quoting it in a tweet with like quote hashtag hillary health

[00:37:47] even recently in 2017 with the las vegas shooting he included some articles with conspiracy theories

[00:37:55] about that guy which there were weird things happening with that story and that's as far as

[00:38:01] i want to go with it that story is still bizarre to me i i look three hundred dollars of sushi comped

[00:38:07] is all i'm gonna say i haven't like really gone like confirm this confirm this but the i guess the

[00:38:12] assumption that we're all just gonna like live with because we kind of collectively have to move on

[00:38:16] here is that he was just mad that he wasn't getting treated as well as he was by the casinos

[00:38:22] that's the line yeah that's what we're supposed to go with i guess apparently he also had like

[00:38:28] rented out hotel rooms like at lalapalooza like that would have been in view of like lalapalooza

[00:38:34] that year and stuff like that oh that were upcoming after that oh wow so i guess that's just

[00:38:40] like the one that he he picked he had a couple different options he said yeah you know this one

[00:38:44] this time yeah luke bryant fuck him uh i don't even remember if it was luke bryant but um

[00:38:50] okay jason aldeem was on stage performing when she says baby oh boy um when she says uh bump stock

[00:39:01] perfect cut print no notes boy what started with email newsletters became this huge because you

[00:39:10] would see drudge report referenced in like movies and stuff not directly but it would be a web page

[00:39:16] in that style you know what i mean right you would like the big he because he would put the

[00:39:22] the siren emojis on either side of the headline right so it'd be like big alert bill clinton in

[00:39:31] big trouble or whatever you know just uh this one here the divided we fall bit is a great article

[00:39:38] it's called the drudge revolution it was uh published like four years ago a guy named matthew

[00:39:44] lisciak he's a staff reporter for new york daily news but this is part of the book that he wrote

[00:39:51] called the drudge revolution the untold story of how talk radio fox news and a gift shop clerk with an

[00:39:58] internet connection took down the mainstream media a little unwieldy for the title of a book matthew but

[00:40:04] i will give him that it definitely is true he talks about how matt drudge in the mid-90s met andrew

[00:40:14] breitbart and i think there's a nice little dovetail right there i mean andrew breitbart just like a

[00:40:22] passing of the baton really well yeah because they worked together for a time i mean matt

[00:40:28] had andrew on staff technically as the morning editor basically so breitbart was on the drudge

[00:40:38] report as the morning editor this here according to matthew his job was to find links he thought

[00:40:46] were drudge worthy and then post them now this this again according to matthew every time breitbart

[00:40:52] posted an article critical of obama drudge would pull it down and replaced it

[00:41:01] andrew asked matt why he was doing that matt replied an obama presidency might be terrible

[00:41:06] for the country but it would be great for his website it's so strange but yes conservatives do

[00:41:13] perform better under democratic presidents because there's a bad guy that you can point at and say

[00:41:20] look at how there's a bungler yeah there's a bungler in the white house sleepy joe whoever it is you

[00:41:26] know there's a slick willy you know it's like look at that guy doesn't that guy suck i mean he's not

[00:41:31] wrong no and it's strictly a business decision and i completely understand why he has this idea because

[00:41:39] a lot of the right-wing grifters are doing the exact same shit right now maybe they don't

[00:41:45] necessarily believe in trump 100 but they're gonna pretend they're gonna go along but really what

[00:41:50] they want is to be like look at this black woman isn't she terrible for this country send me money

[00:41:56] you know to to help fight she fucked a coconut yeah they're completely missing the point of all the

[00:42:03] memes she was taken off tfee for two weeks from ingesting too much horse semen they can't even get

[00:42:09] their own joke straight yeah the thing about like because i i listen to right-wing talk radio because i

[00:42:16] have a brain the size of the entire galaxy calling her mrs hands yes yes oh god

[00:42:24] yes but as i was saying i i listen to right-wing talk radio because i have a brain the size of

[00:42:30] a walnut and every once in a while i want to feel what it's like to be a normal person

[00:42:35] and then i start listening to guys like sean hannity and like this hurts i'm i gotta stop

[00:42:40] but that's the same it's the same thing sean hannity's been doing the same shtick since the

[00:42:45] obama years i remember when the obama presidency was counting down and there was an announcement

[00:42:50] every day on hannity's show it's like 32 days until the end of this obama nation like just some real

[00:42:59] shit uh and they're doing the same shit with with biden now and like just it's painful but yeah without a

[00:43:06] simultaneously weak and strong enemy the conservative talk radio business kind of takes a dive yeah

[00:43:13] that's what it feels like i mean i know rush limbaugh didn't do as well ratings wise when george w bush

[00:43:20] was in office let's put it that way it's uh it's gonna be a lot tougher when you're a sore winner

[00:43:25] yes which is what conservatives have basically been for the last 20 some odd years whenever they get

[00:43:31] their way i still remember being uh at a thai restaurant out of all places i

[00:43:36] in mid 2017 and my friend and i were sitting there and we we had a lot to talk about but we were

[00:43:44] completely silent because like the table next to us was like some guy complaining about how like my

[00:43:49] kids won't talk to me because i support donald trump and blah blah blah and like i can't i wish i

[00:43:54] could remember the specifics but it was really just basically like my guy won i got everything i want

[00:43:58] and now i am reaping why so and it's like yeah you got that yeah you got what you want and the thing is

[00:44:04] people are going to hate you for it isn't that funny actions have consequences tell me you know

[00:44:09] i know you have big feelings but we need to learn to control them you're not wrong conservative

[00:44:17] populist or whatever his drudge is at least he knows what side of the bread his butter is on let's

[00:44:23] put it that way because like mark halperin first of all if mark halperin is praising you you know

[00:44:29] that's a real fucking problem uh because he's a currently a commentator for fucking newsmax but

[00:44:35] yeah mark halperin calls you the walter cronkite of his era

[00:44:41] uh puke david mcclintock calling him a modern tom pain i don't know about that yeah uh michael

[00:44:48] isikoff of newsweek drudges a menace to honest responsible journalism and to the extent that he's

[00:44:55] read and people believe what they've read he's dangerous and i am inclined to believe with uh

[00:45:02] mr iskop but dangerous or not he managed to spin a lot of straw into gold because that motherfucker

[00:45:09] is still sitting on like i said the site's still up news is going on every day people are sourcing

[00:45:16] him as a news source kind of like i don't know if you're familiar the gateway pundit oh yeah a real

[00:45:22] loco psychopath uh jim hoft local freak yeah about town exactly right so i don't know if you saw this

[00:45:32] but yeah back in april uh he filed for bankruptcy because of uh some lawsuits there were some defamation

[00:45:40] lawsuits and uh so he's filing for bankruptcy it was him and drudge and now drudge is the last man

[00:45:47] standing and like i said we haven't really heard from him in a while i mean he got bumped off the air in

[00:45:54] 2007 uh on the cincinnati radio station got replaced by bill cunningham you know he's no longer on fox

[00:46:01] obviously there's really i mean we haven't seen hide nor hair of him he's 57 years old so he's not

[00:46:06] like he's died of old age or anything but last we heard is you know he's living in maryland just

[00:46:11] kind of sort of maybe managing a website and i guess at a certain point when you're a political

[00:46:17] commentator and you've done all the damage you can there's really not much else for you to do

[00:46:21] he's conquered the world or his world so i love this this is from when the first bit of

[00:46:28] clinton scandal released this was the bbc news link scandalous scoop breaks online here secret tapes

[00:46:36] threats of impeachment persistent journalists tracking the case there's no doubt in many respects

[00:46:40] the scandal surrounding president bill clinton bears an uncanny resemblance to the notorious

[00:46:45] watergate scandal which brought down president richard nixon in the 70s except for one thing

[00:46:50] of the internet for it was in the wilds of cyberspace not the morning paper that the story of bill

[00:46:58] clinton's alleged affair with a young white house intern monica lewinstie first unfolded newsweek

[00:47:04] kills story on white house intern 23 year old comma sex relationship with president screamed a saturday

[00:47:11] night headline on the infamous internet tip sheet the drudge report so and it says here the drudge

[00:47:18] report learned that michael iscoff developed the story of his career only to have it spiked by top

[00:47:23] newsweek suits hours before publication 85 000 subscribers got that and then by the next day

[00:47:30] oh it hit all the news groups it was off to the races but yeah that that opening bit you know like

[00:47:36] it was it was considered a tip sheet not a source of actual news but more like a something above above

[00:47:43] a blind item yeah pretty much i mean and i think that's how it functions for a lot of people today

[00:47:49] but there's also a lot of people who take it as gospel it's on drudge report it's got to be trustworthy

[00:47:53] which boggles the mind but you know you can't have everything so what was your first exposure to the

[00:48:01] drudge report because i don't know how old you were when all this uh monica lewinski stuff came out but

[00:48:06] i was very cognizant of the whole monica lewinski thing probably was like oh wow the president loves

[00:48:12] boston just like me

[00:48:17] yeah i guess for a 12 year old it definitely be the last generation that could legitimately say they

[00:48:22] jacked off to the sears catalog yeah without having to go online yeah you're right it's just not the

[00:48:27] same it's just not the same jerking off to a jpeg

[00:48:31] but dad no i'm gonna get you some good barely legals

[00:48:36] a couple of marble lights and we're gonna get you set straight there bobby all right there's one joke

[00:48:41] and i cannot remember where it came from but it was i think it was leisure town

[00:48:44] and it was referencing barely legal it was like barely legal this should be barely weekly

[00:48:50] anyway sorry but yeah you're right analog smut hard to come by when the power goes out man who

[00:48:58] who holds all the cards exactly right uh yeah drudge um setting journalism back just about as much

[00:49:05] as rush limbaugh did at least that's my current uh working theory unfortunately the cemetery which

[00:49:12] she is buried in here in saint louis is uh locked most of the time right so i can't go freely piss on

[00:49:20] wherever i want however folks i do want you to know that phil schlafly's grave oh yeah is next door

[00:49:27] at calvary and is free to piss on it's a very plain headstone under a tree on the top of a hill

[00:49:36] you might miss it when you're done whizzing your asparagus piss all over phil schlafly's grave

[00:49:43] you know you're about a quarter mile or so away from dred scott's uh newly revamped tombstone and

[00:49:50] go drop a penny on there nice to show your respects yeah that'd be fun and you can go visit uh

[00:49:55] kate chopin oh right yeah and uh ulysses s grant that's a bit of all-star tour there yeah

[00:50:01] there's a lot of people of some interesting note buried in that cemetery well now that we've talked

[00:50:08] about uh pissing on rush limbaugh why don't we piss on our own eyeballs folks folks what's this going

[00:50:13] on here why is someone pissing in my face the liberals are up to it again the clowns in congress

[00:50:19] are pissing in your face like they're pissing in mine the bloom is off the rose folks the bloom

[00:50:24] is off the rose it spells like piss who ate all the pussy the fat cat democrats in the white house

[00:50:37] bill william jefferson clinton slick willie ate all the pussy yeah just he used to have a running theme

[00:50:48] in his show it was the eib network and the eib stood for excellence in broadcasting okay the excellence

[00:50:59] in broadcasting network he spoke into a golden microphone i will tell you this from a production

[00:51:06] standpoint he was not excellence in broadcasting he would overshoot his automations all the time

[00:51:12] he would not know when to duck in and out of audio cues he left that to his producer snurdly

[00:51:18] excellence in broadcasting who are you talking about rush because it clearly isn't you anyway sorry

[00:51:26] he's dead now and i can say that freely anyway it's time for the shock a dot a jip hug

[00:51:32] and now the moment you've all been waiting for shock dot jpg jpeg jpeg jpeg how are we saying this

[00:51:43] jpeg jpeg what's this what's this oh it's called mission impossible brian oh yeah the mission is

[00:51:52] possible it's possible it's possible the right it's possible to right click into a private window

[00:51:56] possible so this is gentleman uh dangling oh no dangling oh no with oh no rope tied around his

[00:52:11] nutsack and he is dangling and then he lets go of the rope oh my god oh oh oh his nuts are so red

[00:52:25] his nuts are so they're turning purple uh-huh and he's like touching the the stretched base of his

[00:52:31] penis now he's touching his feet he's holding it so he can now he's spinning he's spinning he's

[00:52:36] hacking he's hacking the code so that's mission impossible this is this is my favorite the palma

[00:52:45] film yeah exactly no i love it uh dead reckoning would never imagine tom cruise doing that i think is my

[00:52:52] real you know he does all of his own exactly they had the they they had to spend a whole entire week

[00:53:00] storyboarding how they're going to get him to hang from his nuts and he did it flawlessly one day yeah

[00:53:06] ving rabe's going i don't know how the fuck we're gonna do this man well i just gotta hang from my nuts

[00:53:12] and we can get the codes to the nuclear weapons and we can sit and we can save prog he's hanging from

[00:53:18] his nuts and dangling through the reich side to get i don't know the spear of destiny see there we

[00:53:24] go we got it the spear of destiny sure why not we're using the power of hitler to destroy uh islamo-fascism

[00:53:31] sure let's go with that yeah yeah as the tale holds his time it's a classic he's on our side this time

[00:53:36] just this once but then he's going back in the box mission impossible well the music too it is

[00:53:45] cranked like they really got that it is very loud i turned on my headphones quite generously and it

[00:53:52] still was a very decent volume and i think it was because it was a shock site and it was intended to

[00:53:57] just like scare the fuck out of everyone in the fucking uh library you know computer lab exactly

[00:54:04] yeah just and that was an archived version from 4chan because the website that that was

[00:54:10] hosted on is like long gone and the web archive is down and so i was like well i know the 4chan is

[00:54:17] going to have it and uh did a little digging and was able to find it so thankfully a little bit of

[00:54:22] sleuthing on my side wound up getting you that little treat what beautiful sights you have this

[00:54:27] i am kind of like your own personal cenobite every week aren't i just like

[00:54:32] angel to some demon to others your goat man your goat face you have the goat sea face

[00:54:40] i saw something today where it was like an old textbook of a guy stretching out dough

[00:54:48] and it's just like god damn it because he's had it's a big ring of dough and he's he's got his hands

[00:54:53] in between there like stretching it all out like jesus christ this is exactly what it looks like isn't

[00:54:58] it yeah what is that man doing to that dough he's making pizzas ready to fuck this chicken it's time

[00:55:04] for the breath mint baby it's time for your mom's favorite part of the show it's time for the

[00:55:12] breath mint oh yeah it's breath mint time what you got what you got chief well keeping with our comic

[00:55:18] book theme from last week i have uh i have a couple of comic book flavored delights we were also talking

[00:55:25] about thanks i hate it this past week about movie soundtracks and i reflected upon the genius that was

[00:55:33] the alex proez the crow soundtrack and then i realized i had not yet seen the 2024 the crow movie

[00:55:41] oh god you did it you did to yourself i did it to myself and you know here's the thing and i know

[00:55:47] you're gonna take this with a grain of salt but it wasn't so bad i there's a lot of stuff that

[00:55:53] went well i really like bill scars guard for example he's always a hoot and anything i see him in

[00:55:59] be it it or boy kills world or i mean any number of things that he's been in over the past couple

[00:56:04] years fka twigs the singer slash performer acquits herself very well of this role as kind of this

[00:56:12] lost child who's uh into drugs but she's a musician and she's kind of floating in between all these

[00:56:19] she goes to rehab it it's an interesting character she plays it well so i wasn't as disappointed as

[00:56:25] some are so what have you heard about this movie because i'm very curious i heard it did it had no

[00:56:32] reason to exist and it was at best a oddly outdated relic being repurposed for modern consumption

[00:56:41] without ever contemplating what needed to be improved or modernized or even what made the movie good to

[00:56:48] begin with okay and i can certainly see that as a point of contention about this movie i think what

[00:56:55] really has to happen if you're going to go watch this movie the two paths lie before you one forget

[00:57:02] the original film existed which is very difficult because for me it was like part of my teenage goth

[00:57:08] identity so you know for me that wasn't gonna be an option or you can just accept that like this is

[00:57:14] not the eric and shelley that existed in james obar's comics or that existed in the 90s in the film

[00:57:21] and just these are new characters their names just happen to be eric and shelley okay it diverges so

[00:57:29] strongly from the original comic it diverges so strongly from the film that was adapted of the comic

[00:57:35] it bears no resemblance to anything that came before it okay there's a few threads okay you know eric's a

[00:57:42] musician but shelley is too they both die tragically right and eric comes back with the powers of the crow

[00:57:50] okay that's about it everything else is stripped away there's no colorful detroit gang members there's

[00:57:57] no young character who's kind of the connection between the dead people and the the criminals

[00:58:03] none of that and i think that's to its detriment it's not a bad movie it's frustrating to talk about

[00:58:09] because if they had changed the characters names you say well okay it's just another the crow story

[00:58:16] like city of angels or any of the other straight to video sequels that they came out with it because

[00:58:23] it feels very much like those things they're taking the crow idea and they're slotting in these new

[00:58:28] characters in it because the the big bad in this one is this symphony director or this guy who

[00:58:35] procures musicians for the opera who's made a deal with the devil for immortality okay okay and so he's

[00:58:44] been entrapping these very talented musicians into his kind of satanic service and shelley breaks free

[00:58:53] of that control winds up in rehab at the same time eric is they meet they escape rehab they go on this you

[00:59:00] know several months worth of like yeah we're in love and then right before they're about to get married

[00:59:05] they're killed because people associated with that orchestra or symphony guy i just still it's not

[00:59:12] unclear the the finale mostly takes place in an opera so i'm assuming it's one or the other but it's

[00:59:18] almost a full hour before eric and shelley die so we're given a lot of backstory right a lot of these

[00:59:26] characters coming to know each other falling in love and then dying and then eric starts to exact

[00:59:33] his bloody revenge but he's not very good at it so he fucks up and he winds up getting sent back to the

[00:59:39] afterlife in the midst of a killing spree there's some moments like that where you're like oh okay

[00:59:44] this is interesting this is an interesting idea riffing on something that we kind of already know

[00:59:49] by the time you get to the hour plus mark it's its own movie absolutely there's a lot of stuff that i

[00:59:57] miss from the 90s one obviously the soundtracks not nearly as good but it does include actual 80s and

[01:00:06] 90s goth stuff as opposed to covers like instead of nine inch nails covering a new order song it's the

[01:00:14] actual new order song or you know there's a gary newman tune that you wouldn't have heard in the

[01:00:19] alex proya's one or you know like there's some stuff like that we're like okay we're tuning into

[01:00:24] the same wavelength it's a different story it's markedly different in a number of ways because

[01:00:30] rupert sanders is the director here you and i have talked about the ghost in the shell film with uh

[01:00:36] scarlett johansson that was his other adaptation work that he'd done and that one is very slavishly

[01:00:42] devoted very much shot for shot in some sequences to the original and so okay well there

[01:00:49] has to be a reason why he's doing this differently here than he did with ghost in the shell and why is

[01:00:54] that trying to do something new i guess that's my best guess trying to update the idea without

[01:01:02] straight up just doing shot for shot and that's fine you can do that but there's a number of movies

[01:01:08] that have done that but i think that it maybe got unfairly maligned it could probably trim about 10

[01:01:13] minutes and it'd be a nice good pace and but for the most part i mean i it's not as bad as i thought

[01:01:23] it was going to be is damning with faint praise i know but that's the way i feel about it have you

[01:01:30] any interest in seeing this are you curious at all i am not curious i've never even seen the original

[01:01:35] oh okay because yeah that was a that was a formative part of my teenage yes yes believe me many many

[01:01:43] people yeah i'm not alone in this but yeah i'm aware yeah a lot of people i knew in high school

[01:01:47] that were like a little too mopey for me that was a pretty mopey kid yeah and you're like oh geez these

[01:01:56] guys okay i'm glad we didn't cross paths then because i don't think you would have liked me very

[01:02:01] much at that point in my life but uh mellowed out a bit in the past uh 20 years or so how about

[01:02:06] yourself brian what have you been up to a couple different things oh tell us like i think really

[01:02:12] the big thing i have to talk about this week because it's just been you know we record last sunday

[01:02:17] right hasn't been very long since we've seen each other time to really talk about a lot um i think the

[01:02:23] one big thing i have to talk about is season three of you okay okay which i have found to be

[01:02:30] surprisingly good it might even be the best season of the show so far interesting now i've heard the

[01:02:36] same thing from other people who are fans of the show but i just i clocked out after season two should

[01:02:41] i get back into it i think you should you should jump back in okay it subverts some of your expectations

[01:02:48] i mean it's still following a formula sure some things are a little bit predictable right it is

[01:02:55] interesting enough and varied enough to be worth your time uh it goes some really interesting places

[01:03:03] and sets up some really surprising moments things going a certain direction kind of out of nowhere

[01:03:10] but in a way that feels natural huh you think you're gonna get a certain expectation and it goes

[01:03:17] somewhere different but as you see it develop you're like oh of course why wouldn't it go this way

[01:03:22] so basically joe and love they have their their child named uh henry and the child's mill name

[01:03:32] is 40 of course they move to a rich upper middle class enclave in northern california and they kind of

[01:03:43] have like this typical white picket fence upper middle class life both of them seem to kind of struggle

[01:03:49] with it in different ways joe all of a sudden realizes he's becoming infatuated with uh the uh wife

[01:03:57] of the man next door oh no and and love finds out and that goes some interesting places which i'm not

[01:04:05] going to spoil this happens in the first episode or two okay okay i think one of the things i find

[01:04:10] interesting about you is that it kind of lampoons or satirizes a lot of stuff about modern culture

[01:04:16] that doesn't feel like cringe or like it's has like a clear political agenda other than like people

[01:04:23] are kind of full of their own shit and they don't realize that there may be that really maybe that

[01:04:28] all we know how to interact with people is like one person companies okay they like the inauthenticity

[01:04:35] or the like personas that we adapt and i think joe himself is obviously probably the the best at that

[01:04:43] because what kind of person really is joe yeah he's a cypher yeah he he is typically adaptable

[01:04:49] he's not always one step ahead but he's usually he sees what's coming around the corner probably better

[01:04:57] than most people the way season two ends with you know love killing two people that he's been involved

[01:05:04] with he realizes that she is not as tactful or as graceful in her violence as him okay and that makes

[01:05:13] him uneasy as the season progresses and he's kind of then without giving too much spoiler here kind of

[01:05:22] trying to figure out how he's going to get out of it oh okay without i guess like murdering his wife

[01:05:28] right and he uh struggles with fatherhood and that's a big part of the first couple episodes

[01:05:35] and they kind of really drifts into the far far backgrounds other more interesting and bizarre

[01:05:41] things occur we just finished the eighth episode of the 10 episode season oh wow and uh boy oh boy

[01:05:50] does it really start it really fucking goes a lot of wild ass places there's an incredible fight scene

[01:05:57] with joe and other person that didn't need to be as good as it was it could have been something much

[01:06:05] simpler and probably would have done what it needed to do but someone someone must have fucking been

[01:06:11] drinking good coffee while they were writing that out and like and blocking it because it really is

[01:06:17] like oh wow this is really lively like this is what do they actually bring in like people to figure

[01:06:22] out how they were going to do the blocking how they were going to like it goes it fucking goes hard

[01:06:27] and most stuff that involves like physical violence in this show is like you know good editing cuts to

[01:06:35] mask like when you're putting in the stunt double yeah just to you know someone's getting is an action

[01:06:42] is happening to someone and that person is getting just like pushed onto like say like a crash mat

[01:06:49] but that is being spliced in with a cut with like a stunt double you know i guess it's all very simple

[01:06:56] two or three camera cut kind of things but this goes much further and now i'm really interested to see what

[01:07:03] happens in the last two episodes of this season absolutely yeah it's it's a season two was fun um it

[01:07:10] and i enjoyed it uh in season three i thought was going to be repetitive yeah but it fucks with you a little

[01:07:17] bit and and kind of takes that formula and does some interesting stuff with it so i i'm recommending

[01:07:23] season three so far it would have to really fuck up from here to uh lose my enthusiasm okay well um i for

[01:07:32] some reason decided to go back to the bear for its third season and uh i didn't make it very far

[01:07:44] uh the first two episodes are i don't know if have you watched the bear are you familiar with

[01:07:49] the bear at all i know it exists um i i have no desire to watch it all right so the basic premise is

[01:07:56] that this guy carmy he has traveled all over the world he's he's worked in all these michelin star

[01:08:02] restaurants he's like a professional capital p professional capital c chef he's the guy and he moves

[01:08:08] back to his south side of chicago neighborhood after his brother's suicide leaves him in charge

[01:08:15] of this sandwich shop called the beef and the whole first season is about them dealing with

[01:08:22] all this shit happening now that now that this has happened the second season then dealt with

[01:08:29] we're gonna take this sandwich shop and turn it into a fucking fine dining establishment

[01:08:36] the whole of season two is we're building it we're running into problems we're building it running

[01:08:41] into problems we're sending these guys off to be trained none of it led to any actual like movement

[01:08:47] in the plot aside from we're getting ready we're getting ready we're getting ready last episode opening

[01:08:51] night shit goes wrong that was where the second season left us third season opens with the aftermath

[01:08:57] of shit going wrong in everyone's life personal professional chefs all that now with typical shows

[01:09:05] you would show something happening what this show chose to do instead is to spend 40 minutes of the first

[01:09:13] episode of the third season showing us things that we already know about and trying to do this 40

[01:09:20] minute character study with minimal dialogue told mostly in flashback i don't watch shows week to week and

[01:09:28] if i can help it you know i like to binge it like to have it at my fingertips if i had watched a show

[01:09:37] like this week to week and i waited x amount of months for this third season to premiere and i come into this

[01:09:44] first season that's what i get and then i have to wait another week for some actual plot to happen i would

[01:09:50] have been pissed so the second episode is 30 minutes of the staff yelling at each other there's dialogue

[01:09:59] and there's some interesting character stuff happening but it's 30 minutes of the staff yelling at each

[01:10:03] other i gave it two more episodes and like you know i can't fucking deal with this show anymore

[01:10:07] i can't fucking i can't fucking do it there's nothing happening there's it's not that there's nothing

[01:10:12] happening it's just that what's happening is all character development and no plot i don't know where

[01:10:18] this is going i guess the real plot is are they going to get the michelin star but at this point

[01:10:23] i don't fucking care anymore i just don't care i don't care anymore you've lost me and so then

[01:10:31] that was when we started the boys season four and uh well we blew through that like a like a rocket

[01:10:37] boys season four what a ripper i love it it feels like eric kripke is just really like hey how much

[01:10:44] gore can we get away with yeah it's pretty gnarly it's gnarly but it also some of it feels earned

[01:10:51] some of it is just gratuitous and it's hard to tell which is which sometimes i do love homelander

[01:10:56] starting to show his cracks that to me anthony star is just is killing it i don't really feel like we

[01:11:03] need billy butcher anymore i feel like carl is just kind of there

[01:11:09] sure i loved seeing mother's milk mm uh getting more screen time and being more of a presence

[01:11:16] because i feel like at some point billy butcher is going to die and mm is gonna have to step up and

[01:11:22] he's been doing it so well this season i i really love all the stuff with them tying into the gen v show

[01:11:30] that was kind of neat that was nice yeah i liked frenchie uh kind of evolving as a character because

[01:11:36] he's always kind of been one note and they really gave him a lot of a chance to shine here what if i

[01:11:43] was uh i hated being a piece of shit what if i also liked uh dick as well what if i was uh in for

[01:11:52] a good time i thought it was fine i thought the season was enjoyable it definitely had some overheated

[01:11:58] under under undercooked bits um i could have really stayed a little longer with the bobby singer

[01:12:06] character which which is a fun bit of kripke verse uh riffing because that's jim beaver he was on

[01:12:13] supernatural playing a character named bobby singer he's playing a different character with the same name

[01:12:19] on a different show but it's also a riff on a producer of supernatural whose name is robert singer

[01:12:26] it's it's just eric kripke being like hey uh you guys like supernatural right but yeah that whole

[01:12:32] segment in the bunker it's like man we could have really milked this this could have been a real tense

[01:12:37] whole episode i was gonna say yeah it could have been a whole real tense thing because i remember when

[01:12:41] homeland did that something similar at least where there was oh we're all in a bunker and who's the

[01:12:47] who's the bad guy you know we're all looking around and yeah they could have stretched that out a bit

[01:12:51] more people really ragged on aaron moriarty's nose job a little too much i think it's like it's fine

[01:12:56] she got some filler so what who fucking cares like i don't know it's just like what's the martian

[01:13:02] character from the comic books martian manhunter no um yeah yeah there we go martian manhunter

[01:13:07] i didn't know martian manhunter was in the boys

[01:13:12] yeah exactly right there we go there we go that's your weekly misogyny for uh 48 minutes

[01:13:19] there we go okay well let me we did it we hit the quote folks we could uh the union has given me the

[01:13:26] a-okay the uh woman haters 403 we can clock out okay we're good we're good my benefits are our

[01:13:34] benefits are good for another month oh good i was starting to worry there for a minute yeah

[01:13:38] our benefits are a stepped-on pack of decades and a bottle of plastic jug vodka i was gonna say

[01:13:49] bronsons or double diamonds but yeah decades we're doing all right decades decades when uh you still

[01:13:56] at least get your oil changed on time exactly yeah jesus christ you you like decades everything else

[01:14:02] in your life is fucked but you're like you know what man i i know where i'm getting my i know where

[01:14:07] i need to get my oil change handbook says 3 000 miles a motherfucker i'm gonna i know exactly to the

[01:14:13] t i'm rolling up i'm rolling up to the fucking oil change place to the muffler shop exactly on the on

[01:14:20] the right mile you're like tapping your watch come on brother let's go time is money but yeah uh

[01:14:26] season four is fun i i think season five could be a hoot yeah hoping hoping they're bringing back

[01:14:32] soldier boy which was the best part of season three indeed yet another supernatural guy coming back so

[01:14:37] yeah let's see it if anything uh just for the the surrealism that soldier boy was like him doing uh

[01:14:45] fucking blondie on solid gold oh hell yeah i forgot about that episode and then you go to the mars and

[01:14:51] you eat up cars he's eating cars he's eating the cars he's eating the cars the subarus of the people

[01:15:03] who live there i think uh amazing yeah some of the q anon shit in boys season four was a little on the

[01:15:10] nose for me but yeah it's the same problems in a universe where people just explode other people

[01:15:18] for no reason so i i guess we're still beholden to the same forces of you know capitalism and political

[01:15:24] disinformation so i guess it kind of tracks it did feel weird it felt really weird because they did

[01:15:30] the pizzagate thing down to them showing up at starlighter hq with guns saying show us the basement

[01:15:37] where the children are i'm like okay all right can you change it a little bit like give me give me

[01:15:43] something here yeah i uh i can't disagree i always feel like that thing is like it's a bit on the nose

[01:15:49] isn't it it's gonna date the show because like in 10 years who's gonna be like what i don't know man

[01:15:55] you might be surprised yeah i probably will be uh i am often how about you anything else uh happening

[01:16:31] rise against will just be a fun show and tomorrow night will be a good time as well i'm really

[01:16:35] probably i think most excited to see boris because they're playing uh amplifier worship in its entirety

[01:16:40] fuck yeah let's go let's fucking go what a great record i mean i only really like half of it but you

[01:16:47] kind of can only like the the half that you i like you can't get there without listening to the other

[01:16:53] half yeah it's a package deal yeah exactly right you kind of you kind of need one side to balance out

[01:16:59] the other if you just listen to the parts that have like the fucking neat grooves they don't hit

[01:17:02] the same if you didn't have to listen to like the same like doom drone for the last like six seven

[01:17:08] minutes and see that's that's where i'm at with like you know mars waltz stuff but you and i

[01:17:14] fundamentally disagree on that one but i it's that kind of thing where like if i didn't have the 12

[01:17:20] minute freak out about the the worm who eats babies i also wouldn't enjoy the santana riffs
