just had some shrimp last night.

2:41

Yeah, I was thinking about shrimp this morning before

2:43

I ate because it's International

2:46

Shrimp Day or whatever National Shrimp Day, and

2:48

then I just thought about it after I

2:50

2:53

no longer appealing to me, And this morning

2:58

for some shrimp. Anyway. My name is Jack

3:33

into it. You can hear a perverse

3:35

stop whenever

3:38

she's roasted me. Just listen back. You'll hear

4:52

It's Andrew two. Guess

4:56

4:58

4:59

What?

5:00

Oh my god.

5:01

I couldn't get through it.

5:02

I couldn't get it

5:05

from I was on one calendar

5:08

week ago. I talked about how he's

5:10

never going to look up Akas in the

5:12

discord. So this is

5:14

via Twitter registered mail, so

5:17

very tired on Twitter. The o in

5:19

so very tired? Is A is a number?

5:21

Zero?

5:22

Okay?

5:22

Thank you? Yeah?

5:24

Me them?

5:25

How's your voice? You had a bit of a development

5:27

since slash we spoke the

5:30

literal opposite.

5:31

Turns out, Uh, if if

5:33

anyone noted any sluggishness in my performance

5:36

last time, it's because I was

5:38

convinced I didn't have COVID,

5:41

but I absolutely had COVID.

5:44

It turns out I totally had COVID.

5:47

I had been visiting my family in Atlanta.

5:50

They were all sniffilly

5:53

and a little bit had coughs. But you know, it's like a

5:55

fucking two year old or whatever. They all

5:57

were consistently testing negative all

5:59

week. Oh, I just

6:01

assume I had what they had, but I

6:03

had either COVID or they

6:05

had a big batch of bad

6:08

tests.

6:08

But I guess it's possible too. Yeah,

6:11

are the tests working I had?

6:12

I had a similar I really have a stockpile

6:15

from the early days. Yeah. Yeah, it

6:17

don't work anymore, right, I don't know, I mean,

6:19

I don't know how it works.

6:20

Is it like peanut butter in the jar? Does that? Do they

6:22

go bad like peanut butter? To me? No,

6:25

there's no way.

6:26

I mean, it's a it's a little vial

6:28

of enzyme.

6:29

Oh oh yeah, I forgot about that part.

6:33

I feel like the paper part of the test is

6:35

probably fine enough, right, I

6:37

feel like that enzyme can't.

6:40

You're probably supposed to be like refrigerating

6:42

it and like throwing it out after like three

6:44

months. My is my my medium?

6:47

Fine to me?

6:48

But I don't.

6:49

Yeah, yeah, you really putting

6:51

that that swab? Real far up?

6:56

I get that drips. That's what the kids

6:58

are talking about when they talk about the drip, right, Yeah.

7:01

The COVID tests like a fucking oh

7:04

not pixie stick, like fun dip.

7:06

Yeah, that's all they agree. It's to basically be

7:08

fun dip. If you do it the opposite way.

7:11

Yeah, it's like un fun fun dip.

7:13

Yeah, fun undip.

7:15

Yeah.

7:16

So yeah, that's all I've been fucking doing. It

7:19

wasn't too bad, I will say this.

7:21

It was not too bad, but it

7:23

was worse than I thought. You needless

7:26

to say try not.

7:27

To get COVID. Probably more people should be wearing masks

7:29

more places, yeah, probably,

7:31

but hey, but they declared pandemic

7:34

over So it.

7:35

Was one of those things where I was like, because I tested negative,

7:37

and I was like, can I go out, and I was like,

7:40

well, Joe Biden would say it would be fine if I

7:42

went out, and I was like, come on, there's

7:45

a lot of shit he says that I probably don't want

7:47

to lift.

7:47

Was he still alive? I

7:50

don't know, know, man, I mean that's what probably he

7:52

doesn't probably live by that. He just tells people

7:54

this ship.

7:54

Yeah, yeah, that's gotta

7:56

be right. So uh

7:59

yeah, that's that's what I've been

8:01

up to get.

8:03

Did you watch anything good like out of boredom

8:06

or like rewatch anything you wouldn't have otherwise,

8:08

or just like done anything? Really?

8:11

I did one one thing. Once I

8:13

started to feel better but was still testing positive,

8:15

I was like real bored, so

8:18

I made kind of a bootleg ka

8:22

with I just had like like chicken

8:24

in my fridge. I had no sake,

8:27

no uh meeting no meaning

8:29

I did have meet it. Actually that was I

8:31

used Chinese cooking wine. I didn't

8:34

have like I had corn stars. But

8:36

because I'm a fucking idiot, I didn't have like normal

8:38

flour, so I was like olemond flour.

8:41

It was weird but fine.

8:44

Yeah, And because I was so bored, I used I

8:47

made mayonnaise, in which ship

8:50

good for you.

8:51

That's where I was at.

8:52

I was like, I'm gonna make mayonnaise and deep

8:55

fry in a walk for myself

8:57

and.

8:58

Made artisanal mayo.

9:00

At least it didn't affect your taste, because that would have been

9:02

such an l meal to be like, yeah,

9:04

maybe.

9:04

Yeah I did.

9:05

I definitely did.

9:06

My that's a smell is not one hundred percent, but my

9:09

taste is fine, Oh beautiful.

9:11

I think, look, I don't know, tbd

9:14

TBD.

9:15

As someone else tastes the mayonnaise and like

9:17

their hair falls out, They're like, holy shit,

9:21

yeah.

9:22

Just blast you with whatever's in here.

9:25

And then I watched I was watching

9:27

some people play Hades to.

9:30

Online.

9:31

I love the vibe

9:33

of the Hades franchise. Yeah,

9:35

it's so good.

9:36

I you know, I'm a switch

9:38

god, Nintendo switch god, like Jack is. Obviously

9:40

Jack is the first the one who told me to get on

9:43

Hades and I did.

9:44

But then then he was like, Haiti's nuts,

9:47

and he's I got your ass.

9:49

I don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about.

9:51

Yeah,

9:54

but then I hear I don't think Hades two is on switch right,

9:56

I don't think it's like I.

9:57

Don't even know.

9:58

Yeah, I think, Yeah, it's a big l

10:00

I think for the Switch fans, at least, not yet.

10:03

And I could be wrong anyways. I can't please correct

10:05

me if I'm wrong, but I have a female guts on

10:08

PS five and Steam and that kind of ship.

10:10

Yeah, I mean two days ago, games

10:12

Radar Plus was saying, will

10:15

hate me to be on PS five, Nintendo

10:17

Switch and Xbox Series X. So

10:20

that would suggest that it's not there yet,

10:22

okay, And I look up.

10:24

I just knew that.

10:25

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, gamings

10:28

in your bones, just the way I knew that, just

10:30

like how I knew the works of earlier

10:32

this week.

10:33

Yes, exactly, you

10:36

got a gamer's heart, O'Brien, right

10:40

because they got the part of a gamer, because the

10:42

person who gave you that heart transplant was a gamer,

10:44

right, literally the heart of a gamer.

10:46

Yeah, yeah, I like to get them young, the

10:49

hearts, you know, young gamers.

10:52

Still a lot of beats

10:54

left.

10:55

What I'm strongly

10:58

assuming you guys have covered this already because it was we old

11:00

and feels like right up your alley. But that ship

11:02

about how the red lobster endless

11:05

shrimp was like such a money loser for them.

11:07

Yeah, we didn't talk about that.

11:08

Yeah.

11:10

And then I had a moment when you guys are doing

11:12

the shrimp thing because I had a sandwich

11:14

off camera, off camera, off my whatever.

11:17

I wanted to get in on the shrimp bits, but I

11:19

was like, I'm gonna take one more bite of sand before

11:21

we really get.

11:23

So shrimp is I I did notice you gesturing

11:26

that I was incorrect on my take on shrimp

11:28

being really great when I'm

11:31

hungry, but not as I'm not

11:33

hungry. You like it no matter what.

11:35

I think I did. I'm I like, you

11:37

know those Costco shrimp rings.

11:39

Yeah I could.

11:41

I could fully take one of those

11:43

down I have. I've been at the

11:45

like like I dined.

11:47

Isn't there a lot of iodine and shrimp?

11:50

Yeah?

11:51

Yeah, but for iodine

11:54

right on disease that he gave himself

11:56

for mercury poisoning.

11:57

And then oh wait no,

12:00

I'd thing though that feels like from a movie

12:03

only from Rick Ross.

12:05

I A dine put it takes. It would take a

12:07

lot from what I understand what movie was. There

12:10

was a guy in a movie who had like ate too much

12:12

shrimp and like a wheelbarrow shrimp. Yeah,

12:14

shrimp, I dine. Movie was

12:16

that all I'm saying.

12:17

I think if if

12:20

there's any way to do so,

12:22

that endless shrimp thing felt like it was the like

12:25

movie pass of.

12:27

Right right, yeah yeah, but if everyone

12:30

goes back, I think I think we got to take

12:32

a field trip boys, oh.

12:33

Yeah, a lot time and put them out of business

12:36

once and from hell in the

12:38

coffin dead like like.

12:41

Like did you see like those I remember seeing like like

12:43

stupid TikTok videos of like bros and

12:45

college cafeterias, like you know how

12:47

like in a college cafeteria, like the cereals

12:49

dispense that like a plastic tower that

12:51

like fill or whatever, and these

12:53

guys just kept trying to eat so many

12:55

bowls of cereal to force the kitchen

12:58

people to like just refill like the tower

13:00

of fucking like cheerios that

13:02

like they roped more and more dudes, and

13:04

they captured like we're trying to empty the fucking

13:07

tower, and they were just cheering

13:09

every time they would like refell it and be baffled

13:11

by it. I think we need something like that, Like we need to pull

13:13

up like fifty deep and then everybody

13:16

brings three friends and yeah,

13:18

I think we could do it. That's probably the best thing we can

13:20

do with our time right now.

13:21

It feels like the type of thing I said

13:23

on this show before. But I

13:26

went to a restaurant

13:28

near me, an Echo Park that's a Japanese

13:31

ish it is Japanese restaurant

13:34

where they do the grilled

13:38

shrimp whatever the fuck that's called. I'm

13:40

looking at Miles a little bit grilled.

13:42

What do you mean just it's just grilled, just

13:45

grilled prawns, but with the head on.

13:47

Still okay.

13:48

Anyway I went with. I was

13:50

at a table with like, you

13:52

know, half Asian people, half not Asian people.

13:55

I would say, yeah.

13:56

And my move there because

13:58

you know, it's like mostly white people because the fucking Echo

14:00

Park and this restaurant. So they bring out

14:02

the shrimp and then they always bring out a little plate for

14:05

people to discard their heads in, and

14:07

I was like, get that ship out of here.

14:10

I'm not we don't need this. And

14:13

then none of the none of the Asian people

14:15

ate any shrimp heads. So I take out an

14:17

entire two plates worth of shrimp Christmas.

14:21

I remember I got made fun of in like

14:24

junior high or whatever for eating shrimp tails

14:26

in front of people.

14:27

They're like, what do you do them?

14:28

I'm like, Calico are Yeah,

14:30

I could see that, but I feel like California is

14:32

a gregious I don't know, man, people are fucked

14:35

up and evil.

14:36

What can I say? Are so stupid?

14:37

Anyway, I guess I'm evil. I

14:39

don't need the tails or the heads.

14:42

You gotta gotta get in mayonnaise.

14:46

I'll make this my my search, even though

14:48

it's it was a while ago, which

14:50

was alretty shrimp heads

14:53

is like, is it possible to get an allergic

14:55

reaction?

14:57

That was a little like, man, I don't feel great,

15:00

but like a manufactured

15:03

allergic. You're not allergic, but like your.

15:05

Body's like that'll be enough easy.

15:07

Andrew, I have I have some

15:09

worries because I I'm like, I

15:11

feel like I don't have food allergies.

15:13

But I did go to a boiling

15:15

crab one time similarly and had enough

15:18

shrimp that I was like, I

15:20

think I have some hives. I don't really

15:23

know what's happening here. Yeah, I was

15:25

just worried. I was like, can you give.

15:27

Yourself a shellfish allergy?

15:31

Allergy?

15:32

Went od on the shellfish possible to od?

15:35

Yeah? Yeah, all right,

15:37

Andrew, we're going to get to know you a little

15:39

bit better in a moment.

15:42

Listeners a couple of things we

15:44

might be talking about later on. We might

15:46

get to the IPA commercial that everyone

15:49

thinks is so cool. Limitarianism

15:52

is just a very simple premise

15:55

that I don't know, I think is cool. I

15:57

think we should talk more about sex

15:59

workers have gained historic labor rights

16:01

in Belgium, which is cool. Hey,

16:04

speaking of shrimp rings and serial

16:07

Towers, Warner Brothers has decided

16:09

to stubbornly keep making Lord

16:11

of the Rings movies. They're

16:14

just gonna stick away with

16:16

it. They don't give a fuck what you people say. People

16:19

are like, please stop, Well we're

16:21

so full, and they're.

16:22

Just like nah.

16:24

So we'll talk about that. It's all

16:26

around banger of

16:28

an earnings call from Zaslab,

16:31

all of that, plenty more. But first,

16:33

Andrew, we do like to ask our guest,

16:36

what is something from your

16:38

search history or something that you've recently

16:40

screencapped?

16:42

Obviously the shrimp thing.

16:43

Shrimp thing, possible to die from shrimp, I would.

16:45

Say, probably the

16:48

next most recent thing. Oh

16:51

yeah, okay, So basically the second

16:53

I tested negative, I went I was like, I

16:55

want to go see a movie so bad. I just want to get the fuck out

16:57

of my house. So I finally lay

17:00

to the game, but finally watch Challengers

17:03

and this this is just illustrative

17:06

of how bad my brain works,

17:09

because this is a reflex, even though

17:11

I know it's stupid in retrospect,

17:13

I did google weather. Challengers has a post

17:15

credits scene.

17:20

Where all the Challengers come together.

17:23

Yeah, it does sound

17:25

like it could be like an attempt to like replace

17:28

Avengers with like a new group of superheroes.

17:31

Like just just like, yeah, well it turns

17:33

into a foursome basically. Yeah,

17:36

I'm just like, it's just a reflex. I just want

17:38

to know if I can leave the second the credits

17:40

were all right, and.

17:42

Was there in this case to run, run to

17:44

the bathroom and jack off? I'm assuming because

17:47

Challengers yeah

17:49

so hot?

17:50

No turns

17:53

out?

17:54

Yeah no, no post credit sequence.

17:57

I did not realize. I thought it was a wonderful

17:59

movie, and I think this has been

18:01

one of my recommendations.

18:02

Prior on this show.

18:04

Structurally, it is almost identical to

18:06

the anime feature anime

18:09

The Last Slam Dunk. No really,

18:12

I did not realize. It is much more of a

18:14

sports movie than I thought. So,

18:16

right, if you're on the fence. Yeah,

18:19

it's like a fucking it's a sports movie, right,

18:21

among other things.

18:22

Sure, you're like a tennis obsessive

18:25

like that's yeah, but.

18:27

It's it is that like all the same

18:29

themes of I mean, and many other themes.

18:31

But but the theme that I was surprised

18:33

by was this like sports

18:37

like competition, like

18:39

hyper focused competitiveness aspect of

18:41

it.

18:41

I was like, you thought that was more of like a backdrop,

18:44

but it is, like it is truly what

18:46

is It's.

18:47

Part of the movie. It's a big part of the movie. Yeah,

18:49

and the other this is just just because

18:51

this is to get to know me, and it's

18:53

in the trailer. But the ways and day I hear at

18:56

her knee is identical to the way I dislocated

18:58

my knee when I was in high school.

18:59

I don't know.

19:00

Oh I

19:02

forgot that was gonna happen.

19:05

Yeah, yeah, that's pretty fat.

19:07

That's horrible.

19:09

So I'm fun. I've been having fun. Guys.

19:12

We have a great executive producer on our team,

19:14

Lyras Smith, who has seen

19:17

Challengers three

19:19

times now. I think, and it

19:21

is like I think I'm just gonna like keep

19:23

seeing it.

19:25

Yeah, Like I.

19:26

Think I like until yeah.

19:28

Yeah, They're like, she's just

19:31

gonna watch it until she

19:33

can't watch it anymore.

19:34

Wow, it's it's quite good.

19:37

I don't it's it's so weird because it is like

19:39

one of the last worlds I would ever want to live

19:41

in. It's so unpleasant being there. It's

19:45

yeah, but

19:47

the movie is really good. Challengers,

19:50

Chalmers, Challengers, Challengers.

19:54

Yeah, and it does not

19:57

have anything to like, there's the doesn't

20:00

even mention the space shuttle.

20:02

Oh no, it's it's there though,

20:04

you know it's.

20:05

In the subtext.

20:06

Okay, good, it's it's

20:08

yeah.

20:09

I mean at the end she puts on a

20:11

mex suit and fights the Queen Challenger, which

20:13

is like, oh, really insane,

20:16

but away from her, you bitch.

20:20

They did.

20:21

The way that that movie was pitched was so

20:24

he had a went board with Challengers on

20:26

it.

20:28

They and

20:31

the it.

20:33

That's right, we're

20:36

all up on it. But yeah, it's

20:38

it's textually there because

20:40

you can tell that Zendaiah's

20:43

parents watched that in third

20:45

grade, watched the Challenger

20:47

explode.

20:49

I will say there there's several

20:52

time jumps in it, and I

20:54

guess without spoiling it, it's really

20:56

hard to buys and die as certain

20:59

ages that she portrayed.

21:01

That that is what I've heard.

21:02

Yeah, it's a little like come on, yeah,

21:05

how.

21:05

They show her as a baby, like

21:07

an eternal sunshine of the spotless

21:09

mind. Just a tiny Zandaia

21:12

right now. Yeah, I've heard the same thing

21:14

about certain age age. But

21:17

age is fine, Habita, but Zindia. I

21:20

just feel like, yeah, she's never had the thought

21:22

like all my taxes are due, you know, I

21:25

feel it.

21:26

I guess I will say. The character

21:28

still supports that. It's it's

21:30

it is kind of just like she even

21:33

the alleged thirty year old version.

21:35

You're like, yeah, she probably doesn't worry a better tastic

21:39

right, never had to?

21:40

Uh, Andrew, what is something you think is underrated?

21:43

And this again, I've just had

21:45

COVID. This is on me obviously

21:47

because I know people love this, but I

21:49

just I was just taking long ass walks

21:52

because I was like, I'm want to get some kind of exercise

21:54

in Yeah, I guess part of it

21:56

is, yeah, unbelievably

21:58

long walks.

22:00

Unbelievable. We're talking like a fucking sojourn

22:02

across the state.

22:04

I mean, I feel like

22:06

I could do it now, but no, I do

22:08

mean, I mean two laps around Echo Park, which

22:12

is unt long for me.

22:14

So we were talking about like,

22:16

yeah, that's what he means, but unbelievably

22:19

long. People start following him

22:21

around because they can't believe he's

22:23

still doing it.

22:24

Wow, this guy did three laps around Echo

22:26

Park Lake, unbelievably.

22:28

There's the legend grows.

22:31

Never able to figure out the

22:34

exact tweet for this, but it's

22:36

it's the time of year where the baby geese

22:38

are out, and and so I was

22:40

trying to figure out some goslings

22:44

Ryan gosling fall guy thing.

22:46

But there's my dog almost got in a fight with

22:49

multiple mother geese.

22:51

Don't geese, man, that's witches.

22:54

Like they are not nice there.

22:56

They seem angry and territorial

22:59

and.

23:00

Their kids are cute. Yeah,

23:03

they're there.

23:04

I saw because of my again, unfathomably

23:07

long walks. I've seen multiple

23:09

families of like

23:12

baby East jumping into the goslings.

23:14

I saw goslin jump into the pool

23:17

or into the lake, and it's so cute,

23:19

warm your heart, so cute every time.

23:21

Is that your favorite bird? Would you say, as a man,

23:23

andrew T, what's your favorite bird?

23:25

Damn, damn, damn, damn question.

23:28

That just needs to be part of our questions. Man, what's

23:31

your favorite bird? As

23:32

a yeah,

23:35

tik tok, motherfucker. I'll

23:38

say, I'll say I think maybe just a

23:40

regular duck. Goose

23:42

is like too much. I'm not like, yeah

23:45

like that.

23:46

Okay, they're really very elegant

23:48

and graceful, the goose,

23:51

the like by design, like their their

23:53

neck design is just too.

23:54

Hey, we're getting the light. We're getting the light. We're getting

23:56

the light from justice folks, We're getting the light

24:00

ship movement.

24:01

This is what's these things

24:03

overrated?

24:03

Andrew apparently it's uh

24:06

not giving a shit about COVID because I

24:08

probably should have been more careful.

24:10

Yeah that's it.

24:11

Yeah, Well everywhere you go it's

24:13

a theme week.

24:14

Yeah.

24:15

Yeah, no, I've Yeah, every

24:17

time you get on a plane, there's like less and

24:19

less masks. There's yeah,

24:22

like now you see people with masks and

24:24

like, is this person like gonna is are they gonna

24:26

do a robbery? Why are they have a.

24:27

Mask on it?

24:29

Like?

24:29

Right, nobody nobody gets

24:31

hurt. It's the plane's money.

24:33

Yeah, right, it's

24:36

the plane's smoked almonds.

24:39

All right, let's take a quick break and we'll

24:41

be right back and

24:53

we're back.

24:55

And an iPad commercial

24:57

came out that seemed

25:00

like a normal iPad commercial to me,

25:02

but it's getting a lot of, uh, a

25:05

lot of backlash from people,

25:07

and I mean it's not I get

25:10

it, like it's it's seems

25:13

a little like the

25:16

machine will crush all of

25:18

you.

25:19

Yeah, because the commercial

25:21

portrays like a bunch of like instruments

25:24

like painting supplies, like a turntable,

25:26

a fucking piano, paint brushes,

25:29

like you know, the tools of the artist, and

25:31

then this gigantic, fucking hydraulic

25:33

press just fox it all

25:35

down to like a fucking

25:37

singularity. And then when it when the hydrog

25:40

press then releases and opens up, it's like, and

25:42

here's the new iPad And

25:45

yeah, like I get what you're trying to say

25:47

is like, man, look at all the fun shit you

25:49

can do. But I get

25:51

like the on Twitter and social media, people

25:53

fucking lost it. Japanese

25:56

Twitter fucking went up because they

25:58

were like, these are the fucking how darely

26:00

disrespect these tools that are used

26:02

to create things or whatever. I

26:05

myself was also fucking

26:07

upset because the very first object to

26:09

get it at the top of this crush pyramid was a

26:11

trumpet, which is the very first instrument I

26:13

learned how to play. And when I saw that thing,

26:15

just get absolutely just like crushed down

26:18

it. Like I remember when I was a kid man, like

26:20

I had this like older used

26:22

trumpet, and I always wanted a new trumpet because

26:24

I remember all the other kids in band had like new

26:26

or nicer trumpets. And when I finally

26:28

got when I was like in high school, I would freak

26:31

out if anything like ever happened to the

26:33

bell or if it got dented or some shit like

26:35

that. So seeing that thing, it fucked

26:37

it. It fucked me up. And then a turntable I

26:39

was like, I was a DJ. Then camera

26:41

lenses and stuff. I was like I

26:44

my foray into media was taking pictures

26:46

and making videos. Like this is fucked up. I don't

26:48

know why. It really fucked me up.

26:50

Because it's not just that it like, you

26:52

know, it's trying to say this is

26:55

a way to amalgamate these things,

26:57

but it's shot as that anymore.

27:00

Yeah, they're obsolete.

27:03

It is like like a real it's such a bizarre

27:07

I kind of had a similar reaction initially

27:09

where I was like, yeah, I don't love it.

27:11

But whatever.

27:12

However, someone on Twitter

27:15

Resurrection are Easy A

27:17

R W R E c k Shun

27:21

basically did a version of this where

27:23

they said it to I forget some different

27:25

music, but plays it, play it backwards

27:28

and it is like surprisingly heartwarming

27:30

when you watch.

27:31

Yeah yeah, replaced

27:35

our screens with actual ship,

27:37

which says the same what's inside?

27:40

Yeah?

27:40

Yeah, like like the this like

27:42

little tab has like you

27:45

know, the argument that this, like you

27:47

people use iPad pros to create

27:50

are is a little like

27:53

specious, I feel like, because it's like, yeah,

27:56

you watch things on your iPad

27:58

and people do create things, but not

28:01

really Yeah, I don't think they want to.

28:03

The overall message

28:06

doesn't really hang together intellectually,

28:08

Like there's they have like plastic

28:11

angry birds in there that get

28:13

smashed, suggesting that

28:16

like the game Angry Birds was a

28:18

replacement for some real loogable

28:22

version of Angry Birds, where like

28:24

we're all just driving around with

28:27

our cars full of angry birds

28:29

that we were throwing at towers

28:32

and it was so cumbersome, but now we

28:34

replace it.

28:35

Yeah, it's a I mean, I think it's just also

28:38

the backdrop where people are just increasingly

28:40

more and more suspicious of technology, especially

28:42

like in creative fields. Like we were just talking about

28:44

how like that BBL drizzy AI song,

28:47

Like.

28:47

I was just thinking about that, like

28:49

like in the context of the BBL drizzy

28:51

thing the backla, like

28:53

I hate this fucking commercial now because

28:57

the BBL drizzy like song

28:59

sounds too good and people are

29:01

like, no, it's just AI, man, it's just

29:04

AI. And I'm like, but it can't

29:06

just be like they're taking somebody's

29:09

work and like doing something to

29:12

it in a way that like is

29:15

utilizing AI in like some specific

29:17

parts of the creation process. But there's

29:19

also a lot of like instrumentation

29:23

and music that is being used

29:25

going into the mix. But everyone's like just a,

29:27

I, you actually can replace all

29:29

that stuff now, you don't need music anymore.

29:32

She need an iPad, man, just need an iPad? Yeah,

29:35

do all that shit?

29:36

Cool?

29:37

It is It is like this thing where it's also

29:39

like Silicon Valley I think has this like I

29:43

think because their taste and creative

29:45

stuff is so mid

29:48

It's it's like this like like worship

29:51

of diletantism. It's like because

29:53

the thing is it's like, yeah,

29:55

an iPad pro can sort of do all

29:58

these things badly, but

30:00

why not get good at a thing, Like

30:03

you actually don't need a thing that can paint

30:05

and produce music and like

30:07

program and be your Like.

30:11

Yeah, it's like everything's

30:13

getting like literally flattened in this

30:15

way where we aren't valuing

30:18

like the process of like

30:20

honing and developing a craft, which

30:23

I think is just like one of the things

30:25

that are kind of the few things we can enjoy,

30:27

is like starting out at something you're really

30:29

interested in and then over time getting

30:31

better and better and figuring out like how

30:33

you make it your own thing. So yeah,

30:36

yeah, I just just the apple just

30:38

to go dump on all of our faces, all of us

30:40

are all the crafts people out there? Yeah,

30:43

like that.

30:44

I think part of what initially

30:47

didn't like had me not resisting

30:49

it, is that like I hate stuff at

30:52

this point, like being a parent,

30:54

and like you know, my kids bring home

30:57

so much stuff from school

30:59

or like if they to a birthday party, there's just

31:01

like you know, junk drawer

31:04

filler like that comes home with them.

31:07

Like, so like there's something that's

31:10

enjoyable about the idea of like all what

31:12

if all of that just got smashed

31:14

down and like disappeared, But

31:16

then the thing you're like replacing it with is

31:18

this like sleek looking illusion

31:21

that is actually like as we talked about on Monday's

31:23

episode, filled with like

31:25

minerals that need to be like mined out

31:28

the earth by hand by

31:30

like slave labor

31:32

the equivalent. So yeah,

31:35

it's just a slick illusion.

31:37

Yeah, it's wild though too that like

31:40

a lot of people have to like just play it backwards

31:42

take and how effective it is in that

31:44

sense, you're like, damn man, just you

31:46

could have reversed it. It's from a different

31:49

flapnapuff.

31:50

It's like when the metaphor is

31:52

pitched, it kind of makes sense, but

31:55

like it is like truly

31:57

the direction I think of this piece. There's

32:00

there's a way to do something like this

32:02

that's like I don't know less

32:06

dystopian feeling. Like

32:08

the other thing is like this this has a real like

32:10

book burning vibe to it, Like it's very

32:14

kind of like yeah, like I

32:16

don't know, yeah.

32:18

Right, Like it's like the artisans know nothing

32:20

of what our future actually will hold

32:22

fucking yeah yeah. Yeah.

32:25

This is like this is like some like bad

32:27

guys, like yeah,

32:29

the guy that's fucking trying to kill Roger Rabbit kind

32:31

of vibes like the fuck out of here.

32:33

Yeah, I think it could even just been different

32:35

if you just like crushed a bunch of technologic technological

32:38

ship where it's like it's a TV, it's

32:40

a computer, it's this other thing.

32:42

All together in like a whimsical

32:44

even if the press is a little like more

32:47

listen, I'm going to assume some

32:50

very very very well compensated

32:53

ad agency Media Art.

32:54

Labs to be specific. Probably I feel

32:56

like that's who makes all the commercials. Yeah,

32:59

yeah, that's such an la fucking thing. I

33:01

said, I'm sorry, I gotta go man.

33:05

Like calling out the production company that that

33:07

was Media Arts Lab. You can actually tell like

33:09

there they have a very specific auturistic

33:12

vision and sort of meason

33:14

scene that you're always going to some

33:16

very telltale signatures

33:19

and visual flourishes. Yeah,

33:22

Like replace color with sleek

33:25

black obelisk is very hard,

33:28

right, dystopian.

33:29

White fascist for sure? Would you do this?

33:31

What if the messiness of life was a slick

33:34

black mirror you held in your

33:36

hand? All

33:38

right, let's see. Sex

33:40

workers have gained historic labor rights

33:43

in Belgium. In twenty twenty two, we

33:45

talked about how Belgium became the first European

33:47

country to decriminalize sex work,

33:50

and while sex workers have still faced

33:52

a number of significant issues since then,

33:55

Belgium has passed historic legislation

33:58

approving employment contract for sex

34:00

workers, following years of lobbying efforts.

34:03

They will be entitled to health insurance,

34:05

pensions, unemployment, family

34:08

benefits, holidays, and maternity leave,

34:12

which is, yeah,

34:14

I don't like that. It's one of those

34:16

things where like I couldn't have imagined

34:20

like such a like that's just such

34:23

a great outcome that like

34:25

seems almost difficult to imagine in

34:27

America, you know, right where

34:30

sex workers don't even count as humans

34:33

in the mainstream media, like when they're

34:36

talking about like crimes.

34:37

We were just talking about how like AI sex

34:40

quote unquote workers are have

34:42

like like better chances of flourishing

34:45

financially on the Internet than human beings

34:47

do. And it's also just wild

34:49

to even look at in the context. I'm like, just

34:51

in general, any worker like in the

34:54

United States being like pensions,

34:56

unemployed, family benefits, but

34:59

parent great.

35:01

Yeah, it's also like having

35:03

this be an on the record vote,

35:06

it's like unfathomable.

35:08

Yeah, so hard to imagine.

35:11

We're truly just these like fucking

35:14

fucked up animals like in a zoo in Americas.

35:17

Like what do they have out there? What other

35:20

part that I think a lot of politicians would

35:22

really object to is that the sex

35:24

workers are guaranteed the quote right

35:26

to refuse a client or a sexual

35:29

act, as well as the right to interrupt

35:31

a sexual act at any time without fear

35:33

of dismissal or punishment. Yeah.

35:35

I can't imagine that all the

35:37

people in the Senate and House would

35:39

be on board with that one.

35:41

No, oh my god, I mean that's the thing. It's just

35:43

we are just so just the

35:45

way uh, like Congress

35:48

is set up, and just like legislation, like legislative

35:50

bodies across the country, like the idea to

35:52

be like and we are extending a humane

35:54

view on something like this is just unfathomable.

35:58

And yeah, it goes against what so many and

36:00

even fucking Democrats doesn't even matter. Like there's

36:02

just still in America, we just have such a stupid

36:05

uh what's the word I'm looking for. There's

36:08

like a yeah,

36:10

yeah, well that's a stupid ass

36:13

ship.

36:13

Dude.

36:17

I know what you're trying to say. You're trying to say, we got

36:19

stupid ass ship.

36:20

Oh I'm sorry. Yeah, that it's maligned in such

36:22

a way that we're just unable to ever approach

36:25

like a conversation about it creatively. Yeah,

36:28

but yeah, again, sex work is real

36:30

work. But yeah, you

36:33

know, hats off to Belgium. Good for

36:35

you, even though we were just talking about the

36:39

the Congo, where Belgium definitely

36:41

did a fucking number on Yeah,

36:43

sorry, Leopold, Sorry about that, Leopold.

36:46

So I mean there are other places where

36:48

sex work has been decriminalized, like

36:51

New Zealand, Germany and

36:54

the Netherlands, and so hopefully this

36:56

will inspire similar regulations

36:58

in those countries. All right, we'll take that, But those

37:01

governments have not set up a comparable

37:03

legal framework, but maybe this will inspire

37:05

them.

37:05

To do so, my honest, biggest

37:08

surprise, and maybe this is just

37:10

me glorifying

37:13

mentally the I

37:15

don't know, the like European social

37:18

safety net. I guess I was a little surprised that these

37:20

things were not like de facto

37:23

extended to all human beings in Belgium.

37:26

Right, yeah, but what do

37:28

I know. Yeah, it's not a perfect country man,

37:30

just so you know, like it's so bad

37:32

once you move there.

37:37

All right, let's take a quick break and we'll

37:40

be right back, and

37:51

we're back, And

37:55

so Warner Brothers in

37:57

an earnings call CEO David

37:59

Zave this Azz as

38:01

we call him on this show. We're big fans,

38:04

specifically big fans of the fact

38:06

that he like doesn't seem like he can make a

38:09

good decision, like he seems like speaking

38:11

of allergies, he seems allergic making

38:14

good decisions. But also just like for

38:16

the extra flair or big fans of the

38:19

time when he made everybody watch Fleabag

38:22

on his yacht but then like paused

38:24

it and was like, this is too horny.

38:27

Either we stop it now, or

38:29

we continue watching and nobody's

38:31

allowed to look at me while I jack off, or

38:34

that's not how he put it, he said, or

38:36

we keep watching and nobody looks at each

38:38

other, which is such a weird, oh

38:41

weird request that I has

38:44

to be nobody looks at me while I jack

38:46

off. But anyways, is hyping

38:49

some stuff that I think is really going to be exciting

38:51

to everybody listening and both

38:53

of you guys. He's hyping new streaming

38:56

bundles, specifically a bundle

38:58

with Max, Hulu and Disney Plus

39:00

aka cable television without

39:03

the regulations, right, yeah, yeah,

39:06

but he said, it does feel like this is a moment,

39:08

doesn't it, Guys, You feel like this feels like

39:10

it's a moment

39:16

in terms of what the next year two years

39:18

will bring. Restructuring

39:21

is underway and streaming and the

39:23

business will look a lot different in two to three

39:25

years. It will be a lot better for

39:27

consumers. Yeah,

39:30

that's always what he's looking classic. Yeah,

39:33

holy bit dumb, unintelligible

39:36

names for everything, man, I

39:38

mean it will be Oh

39:41

yeah.

39:42

Are we just gonna fucking I mean, honestly, this is what we've

39:44

been saying, kind of like the absurdity of all

39:46

the streaming is like it what we're

39:48

just doing cable again. It's just gonna be like streaming

39:51

cable now.

39:52

Basically I did not realize.

39:54

So my day job in my

39:56

twenties was I worked at Comedy Central

39:58

Digital, you know, in back

40:00

in the day, and I

40:03

remember being mystified because

40:05

they were just like, you know, Internet's

40:08

the future, we're going to be it's

40:10

this weird. I mean, I think that the two parts

40:12

of this episode that are so bizarre

40:14

to me that I just don't relate to because

40:16

I think it's stupid and wrong. Are these

40:19

like tech people's obsession

40:21

with the pipe, like

40:23

the gear that makes something as opposed

40:26

to what that thing.

40:27

Is, right.

40:28

I think I worked with people that genuinely assumed

40:31

they would be running like creative development

40:33

of Comedy Central, because they were the ones that were

40:35

like building the websites and stuff. And

40:39

I'm like why, and

40:41

it was like, well, we know the Internet,

40:43

and it's like, yeah, the Internet is like a tube

40:46

really like genuinely like

40:49

if you think that, like.

40:50

To them, it's the it's a delivery

40:52

tube.

40:53

Yeah.

40:54

So it was so bizarre that these people genuinely

40:56

seem to believe this, and I think they I guess

40:58

they clearly still do, and you know, the people

41:00

that pay them definitely still do.

41:02

Because it's like I work at Regal Cinema's

41:04

concessions and I'm just waiting for Nolan

41:07

to call me and ask me to start in his next

41:09

picture.

41:10

He's gonna, yeah, he's gonna want to develop my screenplay

41:13

for sure.

41:14

It's got some pretty cool things.

41:16

Yeah that yeah, that is me. I am the guy who

41:18

fucked the dune bucket. Yeah, do

41:21

you want to make a move? No, oh, you asked me to leave?

41:23

Okay, Sorry, sorry, andre

41:26

No, no, no, I think that's just that it's it's

41:28

this thing where like I think, I think

41:30

this will genuinely believes that this

41:33

stuff getting delivered via

41:36

an app app is materially different

41:38

for the consumer.

41:39

Than cable, right.

41:40

I think he generally believes this, and it's some of the stupidest

41:43

shit I've just like, but that's what's

41:45

funny talking about.

41:46

But like to your point, Andrew, right, like the people who were

41:48

working on that early stuff who believed

41:50

it because they're like, yeah, because I know this shit.

41:52

But then the problem is these older or like

41:55

people in like more senior leadership roles

41:57

can't acknowledge they don't know it, so they go into

41:59

this same energy's like I know this ship and I'm

42:01

not gonna I'm not about to let you of

42:04

the goes it

42:07

to me.

42:07

It was this thing where it's like I

42:12

again, it was it was that like people who are

42:14

like I don't know, like essentially

42:16

like if they were a tech company that were in project

42:18

managers, like we're

42:20

gonna be the ones developing Daily

42:22

show or whatever, it's.

42:23

Like oh yeah, making that jump.

42:26

Yeah, But it's the same.

42:27

It's the same as like Zaslav thinking

42:29

he under like it matters that

42:31

if script It's

42:34

like, yeah, I get you're in charge, but yeah,

42:37

the are you talking about it? You haven't had no point,

42:40

like like exhibited any taste

42:42

of anything.

42:42

Would you?

42:43

As somebody who worked on a creative

42:46

website that was owned

42:49

by a company that main was mainly

42:51

focused on S e O and

42:55

that was their area of expertise,

42:57

but they had notes for us

42:59

on the creative I have no idea what you're talking

43:01

about, never experienced

43:03

any such thing.

43:04

Can you make more for cheaper? Yeah?

43:07

Yeah, that's not how the creative

43:09

shit works.

43:10

Do you think it could be like more funny, humorous?

43:13

Laugh a minute atale?

43:15

Yeah?

43:15

Yeah, just how do we scale the

43:17

laughs in the chuckles?

43:18

We've got this other subsidiary

43:21

brand that uses uh just

43:23

like chat bots to come up with videos and they

43:25

do it for really cheap, Like maybe you can do that for funny

43:27

stuff too.

43:28

I don't know.

43:28

Maybe guys should meet them, Maybe you should meet them and

43:30

pick their brain the chat bots. Yeah

43:33

yeah, yeah, I can get it. You want, I can

43:35

get it to me do a joke right now if

43:38

you want me to. But I mean like it, I

43:41

love that this this whole thing too. On top

43:43

of him being like, yeah, this is a fucking moment,

43:45

he's also just doubled back

43:47

to fucking show how out

43:50

of touch this whole fucking world is

43:52

to be.

43:52

Like. Yeah, also announcing another

43:55

live action Lord of the Rings movie,

43:57

but this one is about Galla

44:00

Yea, and everyone's like, who gives a ship?

44:03

This one's also from Peter Jackson

44:06

though, And by that I mean he's not writing

44:09

or he's not directing it, the thing that he's

44:11

known for, he's just right with it.

44:13

Yeah, in chat because it's going to be Andy serkis

44:16

Who's that's going to be interesting.

44:18

Andy serkis starring and directing

44:20

the Galla movie. That feels like a lot

44:22

like is he gonna be like just hobbling around

44:25

on a mo cash stage? And then's like, all right, let me.

44:27

I was like, I need to go to the video village to just see

44:29

some playback.

44:31

I mean, you gotta say a character if you're going

44:33

to direct that, Yeah.

44:37

Let's go to the video village.

44:42

Could somebody get me some banana pudding

44:44

from

44:50

I will also just say all these fucking

44:53

studio heads and who are pretending

44:55

like all of their decisions

44:57

now are like just passionate data in

45:00

bullshit. The spate of

45:02

Lord of the Rings stuff really kind

45:04

of like I think should put a

45:06

dagger in that idea because

45:09

it's like, these guys are doing Lord of

45:11

the Rings. Amazon paid you know, fucking

45:13

what, multi billion dollars.

45:14

For the ip most expensive like ever

45:17

made.

45:18

Yeah, after Game of

45:20

Thrones came out. Tells me two

45:22

things. One is like as expected, like

45:24

the AI, all it can do is look

45:26

at the past and it could tell you, yeah, Lord of the Rings

45:29

did well, which guess what any of us

45:31

could tell you that, yeah? Or which

45:34

I think the thing that I think is actually happening, which is this

45:37

is still driven by the preferences of

45:39

you know, nine white, mostly white

45:42

guys, Like they're doing

45:44

this because the people that run these

45:46

companies like Lord of the Rings.

45:48

Because that's the shit they grew up on.

45:50

Yeah, and they're fucking nerds, which

45:52

is fine, But like pretending that these

45:54

are like, you know, masterful

45:57

business decisions is like, this

45:59

is just as much Aboussion project or anything else.

46:01

It's just like they they

46:04

have no imagination.

46:05

It's just like vaguely similar to a previous

46:07

passion project that succeeded.

46:10

That at one time had passion behind it.

46:12

It's like and is now just a diminished.

46:15

This is a businessman's passion

46:18

project.

46:19

Yeah, like the Lord of the Rings, Amazon

46:22

like prime video thing. I was

46:25

shocked by how little it like

46:27

actually existed, Like it.

46:29

Had a something like a thirty seven percent

46:31

completion rate from people who started watching

46:33

it.

46:34

And I've genuinely I've heard it's really good. I

46:36

don't think this is about anyone making but it is like throwing

46:38

that kind of resource behind a thing and

46:42

and like not green lighting things

46:44

or canceling things because of quote unquote

46:46

data doesn't all compute,

46:48

like right, like the thing is

46:50

if you're going to be quote unquote you know, data

46:53

driven, dispassionate masters of the universe,

46:56

it has to be for everything.

46:57

Yeah, I cut through it.

46:58

It is beyond clear that

47:00

this is just like here because

47:04

like because they like.

47:05

It, I'm sure whatever. They probably

47:08

had to pay to license that IP. They're like, we got

47:10

to fucking make something back.

47:11

Sure, yes, yes, but

47:14

paying side down on this, paying

47:16

to license it for that price was purely

47:19

based on passion. Again,

47:22

a businessman's passion, but passion like

47:24

but like, don't pretend like you

47:27

know you're doing this because it's the best business

47:29

decision if you just want

47:31

to do it.

47:32

It's just funny because like the continued

47:34

exploitation of this intellectual

47:37

property, this ip has

47:39

only just brought like diminishing returns.

47:42

Like there was a they made a fucking Gollum

47:45

video game last year and it

47:47

was universally acknowledged,

47:49

Like this is one of the worst fucking video games

47:51

of all time. Like you're just fucking galluming

47:54

around and Ship he's like the least interesting

47:56

case, Like you never like you know who I want

47:58

to be in a video game, this heroin addict

48:00

who just fucking slithers around in the fucking

48:02

shadows. Like it's not a fucking

48:05

fun game. Like the voiceover

48:07

shit was so off. There's like for people who are

48:09

like into YouTube, like game reviews, this guy

48:11

game Donkey did like a really fucking hilariously

48:14

scathing review of it, and this Ship

48:17

it has a thirty six on Metacritic.

48:19

Okay, it's how bad this game is. And it

48:21

was so bad the fucking developers

48:24

of the game had to apologize

48:26

for the game being so shit. They

48:28

said, like in their like releases, like quote, we

48:31

would like to sincerely apologize

48:33

for the underwhelming experience many

48:35

of you have had with the Lord

48:37

of the Lord of Ring Gollum.

48:40

First of all, in the Ring.

48:42

In the letter they called

48:45

it the Lord of Ring Colon Gollam.

48:47

Oh yeah, oh yeah, the Lord of Ring

48:49

Dude, I love it of fun. We

48:52

acknowledge and deeply regret that the game did not

48:54

meet the expectations we set for ourselves

48:56

or for our dedicated community. Please accept

48:58

our sincere apologies for any disappointment

49:00

this may have caused. Once again, we deeply apologize

49:02

for any inconvenience caused,

49:05

and we appreciate your understanding. During

49:07

this time, we will continue to keep you updated

49:09

on our progress and provide a trans like they're

49:11

like, we're gonna make it better. We're gonna make it

49:13

better. It's like you're you're not.

49:14

They were so serious and so like

49:17

devastated like about this

49:20

performance that they outsourced the

49:22

writing of the apology

49:25

letter to like a shitty AI

49:27

the Lord of iringm

49:31

game.

49:32

Yeah, I would say this, listen,

49:34

teddy uh psychang video

49:37

game developers.

49:38

I think like a like a.

49:40

Like a sixteen bit style fishing

49:43

simulator with Gollum.

49:45

Yeah

49:45

exactly, Yeah, Like

49:49

what's Gollum good at you know, just fucking

49:52

hob hopping around in the mud finding weird

49:54

ship.

49:54

Well, this is before Miles to be fair

49:57

to this project, and I do want to be fair to it.

49:59

This this is based on storylines yet to

50:01

be told, So it's

50:04

basically going to be stuff that

50:06

was from the first book that was omitted

50:09

for brevity. Like that's I guess what happened

50:11

with the Prime show was like

50:13

these were little side

50:16

projects or like you know, based

50:18

on manuscript stuff that like

50:21

didn't get included to a large

50:23

degree because again it's

50:25

like the original

50:27

like Peter Jackson, he

50:29

he had lots of hours to work with

50:32

when he was making The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit

50:34

series, he chose not.

50:36

To tell these fucking stories.

50:38

Like his artist's brain was

50:41

like, you know what story would actually fucking

50:43

suck and we should just like cut that out. Is

50:46

like nobody needs to know how Gollum

50:48

got that way.

50:50

Yeah, like we get it. Yeah, especially

50:52

like because it's not like he has any skills again

50:54

that you're like he can fly or has super strength.

50:57

It's like this dude has like Lebron James

50:59

hair and fucking crawls

51:01

around on all fours and Lebron

51:04

James' I mean, look like the

51:06

Lakers are out and I'm pissed about it, so I gotta i

51:08

gotta direct it with somebody. But yeah, again,

51:10

this is just it. It

51:12

It blows my fucking mind that

51:15

they keep trying to make this

51:17

thing happen. Just let Lord of Ring, Lord

51:19

of Ring Glum just go bye

51:21

bye. And again, like the idea that they're

51:24

like, yeah, you know this, all the scraps on the

51:26

floor the meat processing plant, Let's

51:28

turn that into like a new product

51:30

that everyone's gonna love hot dog,

51:32

you know, and here we go.

51:34

But I mean it worked for hot Dog.

51:36

It did work for hot Dog. But I think that's truly

51:38

Yeah, when when we're talking about stuff on the d like literally

51:41

the editing room floor being like yeah,

51:43

yeah, this is so well.

51:44

It's also like, again, since

51:46

those movies came out, Game of Thrones

51:49

happened, Like it's

51:52

so bizarre to go back to the older

51:54

PG thing after

51:57

the medium has clearly progressed.

52:00

Yeah yeah, yeah, and you know what part of Game of Thrones

52:02

didn't work storylines yet to

52:04

be told. Yeah, the

52:06

part that really ship the vent. But

52:09

yeah, no, let's do a feature

52:12

length deleted scene. You

52:14

you won't have to worry about what whether

52:16

there's like post

52:18

52:58

I don't know.

52:59

That's don't find

53:01

me walking around the Patreon. Yeah, well

53:03

it's a yeah, it's that it's

53:05

a suboptimal pods dot com. We have a

53:07

show where we also don't

53:10

talk about race. It's

53:14

the spoonful of Sugar approach.

53:16

There you go, and otherwise

53:19

they can just find you taking.

53:21

Just if you can walk

53:24

slow enough, you can find me, like

53:27

the Flash, but you gotta be slow enough.

53:30

Taking walks near a water as

53:32

Yeah, it doesn't

53:34

near a water water doesn't

53:36

need to be an ocean. You can just water

53:39

than you can. Is there a work

53:41

of media that you've been enjoying.

53:44

I mean, I guess it's fucking Challengers.

53:47

I don't know. Yeah, I still

53:49

got the

53:51

score because the second I saw it's Trent

53:54

Reznor and Atticus, I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah,

53:56

yeah, it's it's.

53:57

More it's more noticeably

53:59

a those guys score. Then

54:02

oh really, I I guess The Killer

54:04

had one because I I just it's one of those

54:06

things where you forget like working composers

54:09

do lots of stuff and lots of different styles.

54:11

This is like, oh yeah, clearly

54:14

these guys did this one right.

54:17

Yeah, look it's it's I will just

54:19

say I was It was

54:21

not the movie I was expecting by

54:24

a million miles, and it was much better than

54:26

I thought it was gonna be. And I thought it was gonna be good.

54:28

That's great. Yeah, it makes me

54:30

very pretty good.

54:32

I would I would watch it.

54:33

But also watched the Last Slam Dunk. But okay,

54:35

so I will just say, you guys are

54:37

sports heads. Both of those movies

54:40

do a thing that

54:43

I really liked, and I know other sports movies

54:45

have done it, but this felt like there was an element of style

54:47

above this and they I'm guessing

54:50

they can't have been that inspired by each other, but

54:52

maybe, yeah, you saw Last

54:54

Time Note. But what they do is they

54:56

take two sports that are very

54:59

very to of eyes, basketball and tennis,

55:02

and they do a good job of finding other

55:04

ways of shooting it.

55:07

Like my favorite shots from both of

55:09

those movies are basically a theoretical

55:12

your pov the ball oh

55:15

okay wow, which is like

55:17

it's just like a thing you never like, no one

55:19

would get to see ever.

55:20

Such a broke, such a bro moment.

55:22

Jack and I had like, whoa wait, I

55:25

was ball the ball, the

55:28

ball? I

55:31

was me.

55:34

Like Andrew, so we all know ball is

55:36

life, but this film

55:38

presupposes is what if I is

55:41

ball?

55:44

But it truly there's like two

55:46

shots. My favorite one of those shots though, is in Last

55:48

Time Done, I won't I'll just give it away? Who

55:50

gives a ship? It's pov as if

55:53

you're in the center of the ball, it's transparent

55:55

and you're looking down on the tip off,

55:58

and it was like.

55:59

Fun, that's a cool Yeah.

56:01

Yeah, yeah, it's just like a.

56:02

Cool shot that I was like, oh yeah, it never really

56:04

occurred. To me that I wanted

56:07

to see that.

56:08

That's coolly no way, Yeah, doing

56:10

your thing. I have a slam dunk jersey

56:12

that I bought a knockoff one online that someone

56:15

Oh you can't buy a rail one. Yeah you gotta go yeah

56:18

yeah yeah, like a shot hook like jersey anyway,

56:20

they got him.

56:21

Yeah.

56:21

I did not watch the anime, but the movie is

56:23

great and there are shocking

56:26

similarities. But I truly know it's like

56:28

that's my double feature. If I forget to program

56:30

one, it is those two movies back.

56:33
