0:49

yeah, is that a joke? That

0:52

0:54

what they have done is just created

0:57

over ear headphones and called

0:59

them air pods Max. Um.

1:03

Yeah, I don't give this, it's

1:07

there. They're also so they're coming

1:10

in at a clean price point

1:12

of let me seek.

1:15

So let me just tell you about Yeah, it doesn't always

1:17

canceling. It has all the things that the

1:19

air air Pod Mac or the air Pod

1:22

Pro has, U some noise canceling,

1:24

like quick pairing. I will

1:27

just give you the other price points in

1:29

the industry, best in class

1:32

Sony's w H one xmx

1:35

XM fours. I got the threes.

1:38

But uh so they are coming

1:40

in at two seventy nine, uh

1:42

and deliver thirty hours of battery life

1:45

beats Solo pro coming

1:47

in at three hundred. Uh

1:50

what where we think the

1:52

the x M M X fours for that much.

1:55

That's a deal that's below ms r

1:57

P. I would hop on that if you're seeing that,

2:00

I don't. I don't know if they're the exports. They're called

2:02

Sony's w H

2:04

white House one thousand and

2:06

s is okay, yeah,

2:09

a little bit different. They might be a little bit different. Yeah,

2:11

I'm just gonna say just one last time. Those

2:14

other ones are are the goat noise

2:16

canceling headphones. Okay,

2:19

so these ones are if it's Apple then and people

2:21

are winning uh four, yeah,

2:27

bro um they

2:31

I know it's wild. They

2:33

are pods. At least I could understand, like

2:36

they're they're quick. You're like, oh,

2:38

bing bing, let me do my Donald Trump

2:40

impersonation. I don't always said bing bing,

2:42

but like there, what if you're interacting

2:44

with Apple ship, it makes sense to like be like my

2:46

phone to my computer or whatever. But

2:48

the over the ears, see, that's a different I

2:51

treat over that your headphones is a completely different

2:53

experience, Like I'm as an audio

2:55

file, Like that's a whole other

2:58

investment that I take very seriously. And

3:00

that's a lot like considering what you can get

3:03

for under four dollars to go to five

3:05

forty nine, Like you're then you're just paying

3:07

for like the privilege

3:09

of someone being like, oh, let's rob that fool. Hey

3:11

Miles, what kind of audio file are your wave

3:14

MP three? Folks?

3:17

Uh My,

3:19

my real concern with this is

3:22

than MG three. As

3:25

with all uh Apple

3:27

products, I always worry that

3:30

you're you're gonna come that

3:33

Like basically this just means that the other

3:35

products are going to be harder to use

3:37

with Apple products than like

3:40

they're gonna stop making it so

3:42

that it's as easy as possible to use

3:44

other wireless over your

3:46

headphones. And that's what you say. Yeah, they

3:48

just they don't add functionality.

3:51

They just basically make it pair

3:54

better than the comp with your

3:56

iPhone. Um,

3:58

it's wild. I have a Blue Tuo speed or that I've been using

4:00

for probably like a couple of years,

4:03

and then I upgraded OS doesn't connect

4:05

anymore? Air pods connect?

4:07

Fine? Yeah, interesting?

4:10

Interesting? Is it? Is

4:13

it? Jam box? Is it one of those jaw bone

4:15

thingis I wish, I

4:17

wish I was so nice enough for a jam box job

4:19

bone, but it's a it's a soul soul

4:22

boy thing. Did they start the

4:24

job jobra

4:28

job bone? They're they're around that into

4:31

something else? Yeah, I think whatever, who

4:33

knows, I mean, we're that was one of the

4:35

better projects of the past, like

4:38

fifteen years in terms of durability

4:42

years. Boom myself a

4:44

couple of homies had those and you can put them together, had a

4:46

little backyard party. But I'm curious with

4:48

the naming convention. Then they're

4:50

out like they do Pro and Max and

4:52

there's also pro Max. So where are the

4:54

air pods Pro Max? What are those going

4:56

to? That's right, man, it's that's

4:59

the it's going to be next level up. Those

5:02

are solid gold. Also, these things

5:04

look stupid. Yeah, they don't look

5:06

They look like really like

5:09

if Wes Anderson was doing a film

5:11

about air traffic controllers and likely

5:15

this is what they would be wearing in the control tower.

5:18

There definitely has some like future

5:20

her style. He's

5:23

a little more swag for

5:25

the price point. But yeah,

5:27

very minimal design, but like not in

5:30

any way this smart. What's this case

5:33

oh, bro, you didn't know about this smart It

5:36

looks like a bra Yeah no

5:39

Apple, No, no, thank you,

5:41

no, thank you. I'm fins. Also, I think it's

5:43

also weird that they bought Beats to then cannibalize

5:46

that whole company. Just be like, no, we made these headphones

5:49

out of whatever we bought from that company. It's

5:51

just like Beats or whatever. That shows you

5:53

how much they don't give a fun Yeah, well they do your

5:56

ass out and you'll be like, this is a dual of our

5:58

lifetime and apples like we're sure

6:00

than most fucking countries and

6:03

we're liquid as fuck. Get

6:06

at. Uh, there's

6:09

another COVID outbreak in the White House. Jenna

6:11

ellis who you might remember googling

6:14

because she was that third person on

6:17

stage at the one of the

6:19

original Rudy Off the Reservation

6:21

press conferences where he was throwing

6:24

out wild accusations.

6:26

There was Rudy, there

6:28

was the Rosemary's Baby,

6:31

uh, Lady Sydney Pale, and

6:34

then there was this young blond woman

6:36

in the background who was just kind of sitting there.

6:39

Didn't say a whole lot in that press conference,

6:41

but she is Team

6:44

Mega, one of Trump's lawyers

6:46

who hasn't been thrown off the bus

6:48

and under the wheels just yet. And

6:51

she uh tested positive

6:53

for COVID, which has

6:55

caused some concern among

6:59

the people who work at the White House because she was

7:01

at the White House Christmas

7:03

party and she was

7:06

kissing. No,

7:09

that's true. She

7:13

was parked under the missiletoe.

7:17

I have no idea, but that's still

7:20

you know, not great. I don't know how

7:23

uh there was any doubt that she,

7:27

like why she wasn't quarantining when she

7:29

has spent the last two months

7:31

like anchored to Rudy Giuliani,

7:34

who recently tested positive. But

7:38

I mean, I do know how that is. They don't

7:40

believe in science. It's just funny how like the

7:42

White House like clicky, even in the White

7:44

Houses that like all those like those that

7:47

Axio stories, like about how they all groaned

7:49

when she showed up at the party, like she fucking

7:51

comes. Keep her away from the President because

7:53

she's just gonna get them all worked up on that bullshit,

7:56

which is the reason they don't. Yeah,

7:59

it's because the whole thing is like she

8:01

they already don't funk with her there because

8:04

she has this effect on the President of

8:07

just being like saying this nonsense about

8:09

lawsuits. He's like, go on, and

8:12

I should what And then that so there's

8:14

like a struggle for the president's attention already,

8:17

and then when she comes in, it like throws anything

8:19

off that they were trying to be like, we're trying to at least

8:22

off ramp him from this other thing. So

8:24

you just you'd love to see the idiots

8:26

just destroy each other. But yeah, a lot

8:28

of a lot of a lot of clicking going on in there. Yeah.

8:31

Yeah. There is a New

8:33

York Times opinion piece where you can

8:35

I don't know why it's an opinion piece. Maybe

8:38

it's not factually accurate at all. They're

8:40

like this, in our opinion, this is what

8:43

the answer would be. But it basically has

8:45

a tool where you can input your age,

8:48

where you live, and whether

8:51

you have preconditions that make

8:53

you higher risk for uh,

8:56

you know, complications from COVID nineteen,

8:58

and then you find out how any people are in

9:00

front of you in line for the vaccine.

9:03

Uh, and we all scored

9:06

uh to sixty eight point seven

9:09

million. We are back

9:11

of the line, baby, that's

9:14

that's way to the back. Yeah.

9:17

Um. Super producer in

9:20

the country, DJ Daniel Miles

9:22

and I all got two hundred sixty eight million on

9:25

a hosnie a. Uh just

9:28

is messaging us. No, I am one four

9:31

million see a losers damn uh

9:35

you know what I mean. So we're way back

9:37

there. The party will be over by the

9:39

time we get to the club door. Yeah.

9:42

Oh, they're like, yeah, we've already have medica.

9:44

You don't need a vaccine anymore. We've eradicated it.

9:46

Thank you for coming by and staying indoors. Yeah,

9:49

damn. Let The other thing that I was reading

9:51

opinion piece on it is like, uh,

9:53

people were asking of like, how do you, like, what

9:55

do we do with people who got COVID

9:58

recklessly? And does should that factor

10:00

into when they get a vaccine because

10:02

they say people who have gotten over it there's some level

10:05

usually of antibodies present, But

10:07

like, do you try and be like,

10:09

we need to get through the people that were following

10:12

the directions and

10:14

prioritize them, or do people who were also

10:16

being really careless also

10:19

get to be like, oh yeah, cool, y'all doing that over here? Yeah

10:21

I was, I was, I was fine. So it's

10:23

it's a it's a bit. There's like a whole other thing

10:25

brewing of like how do we know

10:27

and should we find out? And it's like that's

10:30

gonna I think we should make them eat the vaccine

10:32

like a parent who catches the kids like misbehavior.

10:37

Ye, eat

10:40

this glass vial, Yeah, cutting

10:44

my mouth. One of the reasons to producer

10:46

Aron Hosnia is in front of us in line

10:48

is because her age cohort

10:51

is younger than I

10:53

guess you guys get lumped in with my old ass,

10:56

but she is in

10:58

her twenties, and because

11:02

people in their twenties can't be

11:04

trusted to behave They're like,

11:06

we gotta get these motherfucker's vaccinated

11:08

because otherwise we're gonna have

11:10

another Marty Gras.

11:15

It's not like we're gonna do anything to incentivized

11:17

staying at home, so we'll just do it like this,

11:19

yeah, uh okay,

11:22

and now finally DJ

11:24

Daniel tell me so. One of my favorite

11:27

hobbies is not playing video games,

11:29

but having video games described to

11:31

me to see if they're worth playing.

11:34

That's how to determine if they were in the

11:36

eventual future where it's like it's

11:38

like watching movie trailers that you're never gonna see.

11:40

It's like a king having a servant

11:43

taste their food. So uh

11:48

so uh as

11:50

a average gamer. DJ Daniel

11:52

tell me, tell me about your

11:54

cyberpunk. What's

11:57

this trend we're seeing? Well tomorrow

12:00

at four pm Pacific time, seven pm

12:03

Eastern, the single most anticipated

12:05

game of the year, Cyberpunk, is

12:08

finally releasing. Originally

12:10

scheduled to be released April

12:12

sixteen, pushed back

12:14

to September seventeen, pushed

12:17

back again to November nineteen,

12:20

and pushed back one more damn

12:22

time until December ten. Sounds

12:24

like they're cyberpunking you guys.

12:29

There's a camera. Yeah,

12:37

this is uh the next game by CD Project

12:40

Red. They made The Witcher, which you guys may

12:42

be familiar with Henry Cavil series. So

12:44

The Witcher a very well received video games.

12:47

There's something a TV show I just heard

12:49

the game, of course, I think

12:51

Jack as well as in this just

12:54

the game, big big Gerald fans,

12:56

but you know it's it's uh.

12:59

The Witcher set in a medieval time.

13:01

This one set in a cyberpunk

13:04

future, night city time, big

13:07

open world. Do whatever you want, cybernetic

13:09

additions to your body kind of thing, you know,

13:11

I think people are just really hungry for another do

13:14

what you want open world game, and

13:17

this hopefully delivers, and

13:19

so people are very very excited. I number

13:21

myself among those already have it preloaded. I

13:23

will be playing it tomorrow most certainly.

13:26

What are some of the things you can do to your body

13:28

in the so every

13:30

one of your body parts can be replaced?

13:33

Um, whether it's cybernetic arms,

13:36

eyes, legs, Um,

13:38

don't need your junk? Uh?

13:41

Is that? Yeah, there's cybernetic

13:44

genitals, there's there are replaceable

13:46

genitalia

13:48

and so yeah, No, the game

13:51

is, the game is, it's

13:54

putting itself out there as really

13:57

really do whatever you want. And so

13:59

I think people are really holding on to, oh, I'm gonna

14:01

make this kind of person who does this and that

14:03

and that, and we'll see, I mean, you know, I

14:06

hope that they can deliver. Early reviews

14:08

are semi favorable, lots

14:12

of bugs unfortunately, so people are

14:14

hoping for a day one patch, which unfortunately

14:16

also is all too common these days.

14:18

Games just come out and they need that day one patch

14:20

because they're glitchy or full of bullshit or blah blah

14:22

blah. So we'll see. I mean, I'm

14:24

hopeful, but or made by all

14:27

another show. But like just in general.

14:29

I I know that this game will be

14:31

fun and enjoyable. I'm gonna like playing it, but

14:34

it's too hyped. It's too hyped for it to be as

14:36

good as people think it's going to be. There's just no way

14:39

it will. It will. I mean, didn't

14:42

we both go to E three the year that they unveiled

14:44

it, and it was like at E three

14:46

you would have thought like this is the next

14:49

Matrix or like that

14:51

energy around it, and then when it gets pushed

14:53

and pushed and pushed, you like yeah.

14:56

And also the fact that the company itself was crunching

14:58

their employees all the way till the end hundred

15:01

hour work weeks, like people really working

15:03

all the damn time to finish this game,

15:05

and it's just like, you know,

15:07

I don't know. I'm sure they all get a piece of

15:09

the profits, right, Oh yeah, they

15:12

all get back in points

15:15

points on the master Yeah, exactly everybody.

15:17

That's pretty common in the game industry

15:19

though, right, yeah, it's

15:22

really fair across the board for everybody.

15:24

I can't imagine they're just exploiting people's labor

15:26

to maximize profits and get a product

15:29

out hastily just to begin those sales,

15:31

to get the Q four numbers. I mean, I'm

15:33

just like making stuff up at this point. It can't

15:35

be any of them. So

15:38

there, this is like a rated R

15:41

whatever the video game equivalent is. And

15:44

yeah, definitely there's

15:47

a there's a there's a lot of I mean

15:49

like it definitely plays into the world

15:52

of the of it's

15:54

supposed to be like the dark side of cyberpunk

15:56

or the dark side of the future or whatever. I

15:58

mean, I don't know. That's just to say you'll be interacting

16:01

in maybe some some illicit

16:04

drug operations or maybe some

16:07

sexual scenarios. Well

16:09

i'd imagine if you're able

16:12

to replace and trade out

16:14

your your junk on

16:16

the side mission that one side mission

16:18

I was reading about where you can steal COVID

16:20

vaccines and then you know, sling them

16:22

on the side. That sounds like a fun thing to do too.

16:25

Sounds like a blast um because this is

16:27

still a problem in This isn't

16:29

a this isn't a sequel

16:32

to Cyberpunk, uh

16:36

correct, this is the first cyberpunk

16:38

very good started.

16:41

Also for people who don't know,

16:43

like when you were saying bugs, it's not like there's mosquitoes

16:46

in the game. Oh yes, that they programmed.

16:49

Yeah, I'm glad you googled that to confirm. Yeah,

16:51

I did. I just wanted to make sure people knew

16:53

robot insects no actual bugs though,

16:55

right, got it? Um?

16:58

Yeah, I just you know, like us get aimer

17:00

as, we get it. But for

17:02

the don't worry about the way people. Um

17:05

all right, Well, every once in

17:07

a while, we like to check in with what is

17:09

trending on in right

17:12

wing media on Facebook and other words,

17:14

with your elderly problematic

17:17

relatives. Um, and

17:20

right now they are I'll flipping

17:22

out about a video of

17:24

a mall Santa. This got picked

17:26

up by Fox News, all the great Fox

17:29

News, the the other one,

17:31

ship Stain dot org, dot

17:34

work. Uh. This is this little boy asks

17:36

for a NERF gun and

17:39

Santa said no, uh,

17:41

and then he started crying and

17:43

his mom's like, you're still getting She's

17:45

like, no, but a NERF gun, not a gun, Santa

17:48

and gun and still

17:50

still as for me, he

17:53

says, I don't do guns. Uh. So

17:56

you know that that's a Santa

17:58

has his policy that he he's not he's

18:00

not going back on um. And

18:02

people are acting like this

18:05

is a war being

18:07

waged that he was put up to it

18:09

by Bernie Sanders,

18:12

um and that this

18:14

is the worst thing

18:16

that's ever happened to Christmas, even

18:19

though it is literally the premise of

18:21

that movie a Christmas

18:23

Story, all right, because he wants

18:25

that, uh you want to be guns? Yeah,

18:29

he wants to be begun but Santah literally tells

18:31

him, no, kid, you'll shoot your eye out. Um.

18:34

A London eye hospital recently

18:39

issued a warning that NERF guns

18:41

basically will shoot your eye out.

18:44

Um. Apparently nerf guns have gotten

18:47

very uh hyper

18:49

charged up. They are awesome.

18:51

Next, I mean, gone are the days

18:54

of ball Zuka, which

18:56

I had, which shot out them just shitty

18:58

little foam ball as they barely

19:00

do anything. But even those were better than

19:03

the ones that shot the like little like kind

19:05

of lip dart that would just be with like the section

19:07

tip. There's like yeah yeah and then somebody

19:09

like did someone like wave at me? Did

19:12

I get shot by? Yeah? The ones now

19:14

are like they're like chain belt

19:16

fed, like their mimic modern

19:19

like weaponire arms, like

19:21

they're like essentially the same things like gatling

19:24

guns and like assault rifles and ship

19:26

like that, which I was like, damn,

19:28

we only have ball Zuoka. But I also

19:31

you know that's that's like the sort of the gun

19:33

culture pipeline. You know, it's like make

19:35

the make the kids toys like guns. Yeah,

19:38

and then get them hooked, as the n r A says,

19:40

get them while they're young, like quite

19:42

literally last year they made something called

19:46

a remote controlled tank drone.

19:49

Uh. That is way

19:52

more over the top than that. Even sounds

19:54

like it looks like the

19:56

what's the RoboCop? Oh?

19:59

Yeah, that thing the machine. Yeah, the machine

20:01

that just lights that dude up. Uh.

20:03

And my favorite scene for

20:06

the first two nine

20:08

e D two oh nine, two oh nine, Yeah,

20:11

it looks like a D two oh nine, but it's all

20:13

gun. It's just there's nothing else but a

20:15

giant nerf gun. Um. A

20:17

few years before that, they made an automatic weapon

20:20

that shot foam disks at sixty eight miles

20:22

per hour. Uh. And

20:28

and uh this is not by

20:30

accident. In a two thousand and six team report

20:32

from the Violence Policy Center detailed

20:35

how gun manufacturers utilized toy

20:37

guns to hook children while

20:39

they're young, priming them for future gun

20:41

ownership. UM. So it's

20:43

not totally surprising that the n

20:45

r A leapt onto the Santa

20:49

story to take on this Twitter about

20:51

how about that, mall Santa

20:53

no less than five times as

20:56

of the right as of this writing. Um,

20:58

I mean, you know, like sure, what is

21:00

Santa supposed to do? You know, can Santa have

21:02

a political stance? Is supposed to say yes

21:04

to every child's wish? Right, Like,

21:07

yo, let me get some yellow cake so I can

21:09

make some wepons of mass destruction. Santa

21:12

come through with it. My

21:14

dad is asking me to ask you for this. I'm not gonna

21:16

lie, Santa. Um.

21:19

And then because of this viral

21:21

story, this kid who's by the way,

21:24

for according to some

21:26

of the news stories, is being

21:28

like just bombarded with uh

21:30

these nerve rifles that are supposedly

21:33

for people ages eight. Uh

21:37

yeah, no, not bombarded like

21:40

that, but people are has been mailed

21:44

these guns, like they they got dozens

21:47

and dozens of these guns mailed to their house.

21:49

What does that due to the young child? You know? Like I'm

21:52

always curious like follow ups with like

21:54

kids who are become these cultural moments

21:57

where like Ellen or some other thing,

21:59

like they go and then they get like a ton of

22:01

something because of this moment that they

22:03

occupied in our media consciousness,

22:06

Like does that suck them up down the road? Like

22:08

this guy gonna be like I lost total sense of

22:10

what's earned after that, right, you

22:12

know I cried in front of a Santa and then things showed

22:14

up on my doorstep. It became like a pattern

22:17

for me. Yeah, well kind of that's

22:19

specifically something you have to deal with when you're

22:21

parenting. Is that like when your kick cries,

22:24

like like what it's reinforcing? Yeah, you

22:26

can't like necessarily respond to

22:28

that as empathetically as you

22:31

want to, which is just like give them whatever they

22:33

want. I just want them to be happy,

22:35

because then that reinforces

22:38

like that, that's how you get things done. Um,

22:41

so you know you don't even it's

22:43

happening in our government right

22:45

now, that's right. Huh,

22:49

what do I know about parenting? That's right. That's

22:51

why I just owned three NERF guns. Just

22:55

go roll up to your house and it's like that scene

22:57

in Terminator to where they like in

23:00

the underground vault of exactly

23:04

your parents have been killed? Your first

23:06

the parents have been killed? How

23:10

is fluffy Wolfie?

23:14

Wolf is just fine? Parents have been

23:17

killed? Wow, MT

23:21

It's just a weird. It's just a heavy thing

23:23

to hit a young person with Terminator.

23:26

Please, I get that you're using your game

23:29

theory and logic. You know, I do understanding

23:31

of logic to try and figure out if someone's

23:33

being deceptive. But you could have just been

23:36

like, you're in danger, kid, and you know, let's

23:38

let's talk about it later. Do you want to ice cream

23:41

first? And then I'll tell you first the parents have been killed?

23:44

Uh, speaking of video games, I didn't

23:46

know Mortal Kombat had like terminators

23:49

and robo cops and now Rambo.

23:52

They've been having characters all the time. Yeah, they're

23:54

trying to do like their copy the magic

23:57

of like cap con versus

23:59

Marvel kind of thing, and be like, here's a new I p into

24:01

this fighting game. Maybe you'll stick around. And

24:03

the thing that links them all is just violence.

24:06

Like these are off

24:09

on camera. Our

24:11

brand is violence. Have you ripped someone's chest

24:13

open in a film? Okay, then you could be in the m K universe.

24:16

24:20
