It's still I think redto the Barbie movie.
I think I learned that like Colonial Williamsburg or some kind of weird old history field trip, and they're like red fabric was the most expensive in all the land. I think they hadn't like invented blue for a long time. There's all sorts of interesting for me.
Yeah, I fol sixty four was not even in rotating.
Yeah, yeah, that and that is what I meant by when when I was talking about his childhood. I just always need to ground myself and be like, yeah, and that was at a time when I pulled sixty four hadn't invented blue yet.
Debat I believe it's I full sixty five. Fuck all right, take it from the top. Take it. I didn't know if someone was going to come in and correct, but I will not stand for this. I will not have my Italian euro dance super group. He's smeared like that.

Guesting on this podcast from basically day one. Please welcome. Noted thought Dad, it's if.
You won, if way way aka if he should couldn't even get a Sony official controller for that, than uh ishe?
Boy?
Oh no, Yeah, we are here in the past where they have just announced the discovery of a debris field.
Yeah. I don't know what I mean. That means almost never good? Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I mean, like I think they said new debris field too, which is damn kind of like an operative word considering there's a lot of debris down there the Titanic.
Yeah, yeah, you know, it's it is gonna be like wild if they do survive, because like, what do you think the ViBe's gonna be. Do you think people are going to go harder against them or do you think we're going to pretend like we weren't making fun of them down there?
Just everybody, everybody I can see they can see it.
They can see it.
I think it's a rap unfortunately, based on this debris field thing. Yeah, I think they kind of went down there and we're like, well, there's your problem. But whole thing is just a bunch of little pieces now, so damn. I don't know where if we have that version of of reality coming coming at us anytime. So, but if he, it's great to have you. We're gonna get to know you a little bit.
Better in a moment.
Yes, first we're going to tell our listen to a couple of things we're talking about today, such as a pending cage match between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.
I'm ready, send me location.
Uh to that, I say, send me location. I want to be there.
Them fighting words.
Yeah, I do think this would be good for everyone because they would they would probably hurt themselves and also look bad doing it.
They would go the hardest they've ever gone in their lives.
Well, here's the thing. What I what I think about as a as a and then Miles also a purveyor of combat sports, is uh, you know, we know that the Zuck knows Brazilian jiu jitsu, and I feel like that is an easy one to I feel like, if you're in a choke hold and you let your pride get the best of you, you go and get slept. So I feel like Elon Musk is definitely the type of dude who's not tapping out, even though he knows he should. Oh, he's gonna be Yeah, he's getting slept out.
My money's on the zuck.
He'll do the whole thing like he's joking about it. I feel like it is gonna be Elon Musk's vibe.
Yeah.
But anyways, yeah, yeah, yeah, when.
It's the hell that we live in that we're having this conversation, but I cannot deny that I'm intrigued.
By He's gonna be in, he's gonna get locked up into triangle, and he's gonna like wave his arm at the crowd like ha ha haa. You see, It's like, no, man, you're okay.
They're just so desperate for like genuine connection with other human beings that they're like, the only thing that would make people like us is if we hurt each other because they hate us so much.
It seems to be the strategy. Anyways, we'll talk about that.
We'll talk about the FBI analyst who is going to prison for basically doing the exact same thing that Trump did, ranking every Arizona iced tea.
Flavor from worst to best.
This is an example of like one of those stories that I can't see the same way. After we did our big sugar episode.
I'm just like, okay, and what's the total sugar on that? Wow? Yeah, I still have no concept of how much sugar is bad, Like I still think of things of like things in grams in terms of like drugs, and I'm like, yeah, that much.
Twenty four gram daily allotment, which okay, that's almost ounce.
That's very little. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And when you look at the bag, Yeah, the.
Most popular flavor I think is the like Arizona iced tea lemon one, and that one has fifty nine grams daily allotment's.
Supposed to be twenty four.
So but before we get to any of that shit, if he we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history?
Oh, I'm gonna say Skasland Altars of Lilith because I've been going hard in Diablo four. It's great couch co op game. This is for you know, I think we all are partnered up in here, and if you want to play games, but you need to spend quality time with your partner, I suggest some couch co op. And Diabolo for has been great. Me and him have been busting through it, fighting back the demons of Hell and it's it's been great.
I heard it. Yeah, the review has been really good.
Oh yeah, it you know, because when three came out, I actually liked three, but a lot of people are like, it ain't no Diablo two, and I think that they kind of split the difference in a way that made everyone real happy about it. And it's on you know, the PS four now, and it's cross play, so you can play with any of the homies who are playing it.
So they really nailed it. I'm real excited. I think, if anything, this gets me excited for the future of video games with the cross play, because you know, I'm also on that screen Fighter six serving people up definitely. Oh Marissa is my girl. Capcom has doubled down on
their big women, and I'm here for it. Marissa is a giant Italian pancreation fighter who is who She's really slow, but she does she has like the gnarliest command grab and she has these like punches you can charge that will give you a light shield when you come through, so so you can kind of punch through attacks and shit. So so she's real fun. And I've been going hard and you know now that i'm you know, actually medicated with ADHD, I'm actually able to focus and actually learn
the game. The little little sub thing that happens when you start getting medicaid for ADHD. All these games that you would just give up after you figured out it was too frustrating, you actually take the time to actually learn the timing and shit. And that's really exciting for me too.
Yeah.
Yeah, did you get through Ghost of Tushima?
Uh No, that was before I was medicated. I got all the way up into the last part where like I like, like like I'm really honestly, I probably got maybe thirty minutes left and I just was like, I'm gonna go try something else.
Yeah, like I was getting a little to overwhelming.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's too many? How many? How many of these headbands? I gotta fined?
I'm here.
I think I heard you said cross play in there in that jumble of words that I didn't understand.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is that so that's when you can play with cross platforms?
Is? Yes?
Yes? So traditionally it used to be, uh they kept us segregated, these these big corporations, and it was really just deployed to try and get people to have brand loyalty. So like you knew that since there was no cross play, if a group of gaming if a group of gaming friends were going to buy a console, they had to all pick the same one. And now that's just kind
of I think has fizzled out. And now they're like, you know, you can cross play with Diablo, Ford Street five or six, so I can play, So I can play with you on PC. Miles can be on PS five and you can be on Xbox one and we can all play Diablo four together. So like that's that's pretty like that, as we're moving forward in a great direction.
Moving forward, what is something you think is overright?
Uh?
Something that I think is overrated? I'm gonna go ahead and say, you know, doing super sets in a pack gym, and I know we want to get these super sets in to work these large muscle groups, but if the gym is packed, you know there's there's not enough to go around. We all know that the gym system is built for us to give up. That's why it's so cheap to go to Planet Fitness, because the facilities can't hold the amount of members they have. They depend on you to give up. And you want to know what
helps people give up? You hogging up all the damn weights and shit, and and now I gotta wait fifty minutes to try and hop on so overrated supersets in a crowded gym. Supersets by themselves great, if you're in a crowded gym, leave.
It alone, because like jumping from one yeah so yeah.
So like say you might want to do a set of hammer curls, and then you want to do side raises in front raises. Obviously you might need three different dumb bells for that, So you're going to have all three in front of you. That's three den mails in front of you for you to do all those workouts
in succession. Because the idea is that is super set is combining three sets in a one set, and then you rest after doing all three, which is a great way to blast out a large set of muscle groups, but a horrible way to share the gym when it's packed. It's summer. We got these teens in here with us. We got you know, they they're there off of school. You know they're they're you know, they're trying to get they wait up before you know, before this football season comes.
Your college kids are in here.
No sweit so as like a gym rat, you kind of see the ebb and flow of people. You're like, Okay, it's the beginning of the year. I'm gonna deal with the New Year's crowd. And then like dad dies off, and then you're like, all right, it's June. It's time for the kids to show up.
Yeah, and the kids. Honestly, the I get hyped when I see the New Year's boom because you're getting a whole new batch of people who are about to be excited about this thing you're excited about.
That's cool.
Kids are a little annoying because they'll they come in packs, you know, you know, you don't like, I don't care if it's like you know, Star Player busting out his sets and getting it going. What happens is you get five kids around a bench and then they're all just there's no tempo or system. Yeah, they're talking, they're looking at tiktoks, they're taking a bench and they're just taking their sweet time and they're not really even getting it in.
They're not even pushing themselves until they see, you know, a strapping young brother come up and start benching three fifteen. Then all of a sudden, they want to start throwing a lot of weight.
They're like, hey, y'all done. They're like, yeah, yeah, I will.
Are y'all done kids all the time because they'll be immediately and and I don't feel bad.
Well yeah, I mean. And also it's like I get that too. Like I remember in high school, like the one kid had like the gym membership, like we could all go and we were just fuck around. We weren't doing shit. Yeah, like you know, so I get it. And I remember the thing that terrified me was someone who was serious about lifting weights being like, hey man, need a squat sled And you're like, oh yeah, yeah, for sure. I was just showing them a cool jump move I could do it.
Yeah, on how I can use like a skateboard?
Yeah exactly. Watch his kick push kick? Yeah? Out do you do?
You feel like you've ever seen anybody get injured just from the pressure, the pure pressure of you being there and them wanting to keep up there there.
There hasn't been that yet because everyone pretty much knows their limits because there is a fun you know, like the gym is a perfect place for toxic masculinity to run wild. So there's all these silent competitions going on. So there's been times where I've been benching next to somebody and we're near and we'll they'll just you'll see them put like five pounds on more than you do. So then you go and you put the five pounds and you're just going plate for plate and uh, you know.
I've won a lot of those, but I've lost some. I've lost someone. I was like, okay, you.
To one what thank you?
I've hit my ceiling.
He's like, hey man, you're gonna play diabolo for later?
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, because because I like it to nastas link it'd be great amazing.
What's uh, what's something you think is underrated?
Yeah? All we got to talk about Costco? Yeah?
Uh wait, what is what is that?
You know, a little a little you know, a little uh parmbership store members Yeah, yeah, a little mom and pop membership store. I it was so funny because I floated around getting a Costco membership because I was like, I'm not gonna do it because you know, growing up, all our parents had it, and you know, we're we try and be trendy. We're like we don't go to.
You know or your parents like hey, can you get me? Yeah?
Yeah, And I've been holding off. I've been holding off, but you know, now you know, I got my girl living with me, I got a seven year old who's just you know, cleaning up, and you know, those bulk items really come through. Also, it's a great act. Like if you if I take my daughter to Target as a whole thing, like you could tell she's bored.
She never bore that Costco. She was like, what's that? What's this? What's that?
I'm like, yeah, so I'm and you know, the one fifty hot dogs. I need to support a man who says he will kill you if you try and raise the price of his a dollar fifty hot dogs and and that's a that's that's who I want to support in this Awkham like if if he joins a fight, that's who my money's on. He's like, oh, oh, sucking, sucking elon trying to throw hands. Let me step in there.
Uh. I've never taken my kids to Costco. I've never thought Costco.
As a as a like they're going to Target. They think Target is cool? Yeah, they I guess they haven't seen the levels that Costco can.
Yeah, because because Target's cool. But like it's also a trap because once I get down that toy aisle, yeah, and then then it's a wrap for you. But you know, Costco, they really don't have like a dedicated toy space. The only thing they really kind of go hard on is the books, which is like, yeah, you want to get one of these books. Yeah, you get this book situation room and read something.
Yeah.
But you know, beyond that, there's just so much like big ship like because you know they have they sell whole ass like playground stuff, so they're just like wowed by it. She hasn't even tasted as yet.
Oh man, remember Fedco? Remember there Fedco? Man, That's why I go with my grandpa. We would eat for we was doing the FEDC we called the Fedco Lunch. You go to Fedco and you just hit the samples round and around and around, and he'd be like watch this. He's like another one. We're like, okay, cool, let's have these little smokies, sausages or some shit over and over. But oh for people don't know what if you might
be referencing to. There is a story that the Costco president was told like when he the co founder of Costco, Jim Senegal was like, I'll fucking kill you if you raised the price on the dollar fifty hot dog. They're like, margins don't make sense for us. We're we're hemorrhaging money here. And he was like, oh word, I how about this. He said, quote if you raised the price of the fucking hot dog, I will kill you. The direct quote that the current CEO said. That was the conversation the founder.
Yeah. Apparently like it was the person who was told this who shared this story, and it was like more of a like a joking tone, but I do love the energy of like, but.
You still you can joke, but you know what you're trying to say, Oh you're like, yeah, I kill you man.
If you read yeah, yeah you are, You're out of here. And and they ended up finding ways to like cut costs and it was through developing their own hot dogs through that, so to do that, they then started developing their hot dogs and then selling it in.
Stores mostly made of sawdust at this point. Yeah yeah, oh yeah, still that though.
Yeah it's juice. I mean it's juicy. You know, it's the juiciest piece.
Of I bet costco. Like those stores first blew my mind because I had never seen the sheer amounts of these kinds of foods. Like I would go to the store with my mom or whatever, my dad, and you're us seeing like one box of fruit roll ups, you know, and then you go to costcoing like what the fuck is this? Like barrel level a nation of fruit? Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're like, oh this, and with like my little greedy kid mine, I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I want that
barrel of that. Show you just don't go bad. Yeah, no, no. And then look, we've we've seen how much they go for in Israel because of TikTok.
Yeah, the you'll have taqito's for months, for a year.
Yeah, they'll be waiting for But.
That's how I ate. When I was twelve, I ate Tyson's kariaki frozen chicken breasts every fucking day of like from twelve to fifteen.
I'm pretty sure your intake was off the charts.
Oh yeah, and who knows what else the chemicals was off the charts too. Tyson reformed rib meat batties.
Yeah, White, the man's built like a brick ship house exactly. And yeah, all right, well, speaking of built like a brick ship house, we will take a quick break and come back and talk about Mark Zuckerberg, the Brazilian jiu jitsu master who also people might not remember this, but you first found out about him from the social network and his work on Facebook, but now famous martial artist and he's got an upcoming that might be interesting people, and we're back.
We're back.
It does seem to be a pretty standard progression for people once they start flirting with billionaire status, like they will come Yeah, they got to get tough, they'll yeah, you know, Dre comes out in what looks like a muscle shirt or you know, like it's just.
Oh d like you hadn't seen him in a while. Then he comes out and he was absolutely yoked and yeah this idea.
I wasn't surprised that Mark Zuckerberg was like, so now I'm going to make myself into a human weapon.
Yeah yeah, I mean, look, we first talked about the drama about zuck and whether or not he got put to sleep in a Brazilian ju tournament, and after some deep research from a journalist at Vice, it seems that it's more likely that he was actually not choked out at the tournament based on everything that he looked into and people he spoke to at the tournament, So I guess we have to accept the reality that this dude
is the new hoist Gracie. But anyway, the last month or so, there's been this like back and forth between Twitter and Meta as like, I guess there's this idea started getting kicked around the Meta headquarters to make a Twitter that was quote sanely run, and this obviously irritated the South African mad lad And when a Twitter user asked for a comment about their like, you know, plans to like make their own Twitter potentially, he said, I'm up for a cage match if he is, lol, and
our boy Marky Mark wasn't about to let this dude slide, so he posted this shit on his IG screen cap that with a big fucking text block over that thing we're saying I'm up for a cage match, it just says send me location. Cool, And then Elon responded with Vegas octagon and he also said they had a move called the Walrus that he should watch out for where he just lays on top of someone and does nothing. But I think he may be confusing his sexual style
with an actual fighting style. And when the Verge reached out to a meta spokesperson and be like, is this ship for what the fuck is going on? Their response was, quote, the story speaks for itself. Yeah, I mean, and I think that means they're they I think this is this sounds like two puny billionaires want to get tough for everyone's entertainment.
Yeah, it sounds like one puny billionaire wants to get tough. And then Elon Musk thinks he's funny, which which is his you know, fatal flaw, his like tragic flaw is that he just wants to be funny and can't be. But maybe he can want to be funny his way into getting his ass beat.
That might be interesting. How do we get a double knockout like a street fighter, you know, double cah Like, I'd love to just see that like they both go for I don't even who knows what this is gonna be, but I honestly thought like we were going to see like billionaires force like like poor people to fight for their entertainment. But if they want to invert the relationship that I mean, I'm down to just watch billionaires maybe fight to the death.
Definitely, And I think you know what, also kind of gets me is like Elon is doing that thing that we've seen before where somewhere you're getting pressed and you're trying to like diffuse it with comedy, where you know,
it's the whole reason I'm a comedian. You grow up in Compton, you either become a comedian or you learn how to fight or you know, and I went to the comedian route where but it's like you are, you're trying to like keep the goofs fucking going, when in actuality it's like Mark, I feel like he's like, no, let's let's throw hands.
Look serious.
Yeah, Like I was like, let's let's go. I'm serious about making brisket and beating the shit out of people, you know. Like that, he's ready to go. And so that's why it's so cheesy. I think the most annoying thing about Elon is, like you know, Mark, for as trash as he is in his corner, he's not trying to be cool. Like he's just a guy trying to do shit and be rich and pretend like he's philanthropic for those tax breaks. Like he's not out here trying
to be like I'm the cool guy. He's putting weird sunscreen on while he serves he's just living his life and then piping in.
I mean, is really him letting his full robot flag.
Flo Oh yeah, Oh it's definitely He's gonna look like that meme of the monkey that has no expression when he was killing when he was checking that guy. That's how Mark's gonna go. But like Elon is trying so hard and it's so funny that he can't figure out that. That's why he's lame is because everyone knows how bad
you want to be cool. Everyone knows how hard you try, and you truly like what I do A pre think it's funny is he knows his followers are laying, because if he didn't, he'd be very at peace with all these like chodes who are in his reply being like yeah I get them, yeah this this, But like you're not you. You want like people who you deem as like actually cool in it.
You want a Rocky let's go Elon.
Yeah, which ain't gonna happen. Bro. I'm sorry, I don't know how to tell.
It, but I do think it's important.
It's an important part of his appeal to his followers that he is he tries to be funny and it and is not funny in the same like that, I think that was a big reason why the Joker resonated so much with inceels. Is like the updated Hwaquin Phoenix Joker. We talked about this in like the pop Culture episode last week, Like that character. The update from the Heath Ledger one was he was an inceel and also he would wanted to be funny and was not, which is
also true of Elon Musk. Like they have that in common, and I think a big portion of like the right wing Inceel mob also really identifies with that.
Yeah, I mean that. I think I think we have a big fight on our hands. Elon Musk stands depending on if his self reported height anywhere between six feet and six two Okay, so but again I think I think I'm gonna give the edge. I mean, this is so stupid. I don't even know why the fuck this happened.
Is this?
I honestly think if this were to happen, it would potentially be a pretty big pay per view somehow.
Yeah.
Yeah, Or if they're smart, they'd be like, we're fucking billionaires. You can just watch us debase ourselves for free and embarrass ourselves for free. But I don't know if that's gonna happen, But yeah, I tend to agree with Iffy
if this happens. I think Mark Zuckerberg he has the intensity of a guy who's like trying to compensate and will go to any means necessary, like doing that like Navy sealed tribute workout he did, or we we're like a whatever fifty pound flag vest all day, whereas Elon would like try and like lull his way out of like a choke hold or something. So yeah, we'll see.
I'm from an entertainment perspective, it definitely feels the need, like we're the news and stories like this are having to fill in because nobody, nobody's actually attacking billionaires you know Orcas yea, the sea.
Is doing that work.
Yeah, and I guess water pressure and.
Other billionaires are having to fill in because those are the only people, the only entities that are allowed to attack billionaires.
Well yeah, because also I get that, like we were always in these situations where we were just talking about how like backwards shit is, like whether it's like the fond Hul Brothers or like Justice Alito or like the Supreme Court justice, Like, yeah, man, we take money from these guys and we ruin their favor. Baby, it's big, And then we feel so fucking like just like what the fuck are options that? The next one's like, yeah, I guess yeah, Elon and fucking Zuckerberg beat the shit
out of each other. That'll help diffuse my rage for just a moment.
Yeah, all right, Well, a former FBI analyst is going to prison for hoarding classified documents. Kendra Kingsbury was just senced to nearly four years in prison for holding hundreds of classified documents at her house. The documents were stored on hard drives and compact discs. So there are some differences between the case that this might be made.
That's a big difference.
Another big one is that she did not seem to try to obstruct the investigation.
Or like lie, So does she do like a I'm sorry, I didn't know that. I'm sorry, I didn't know. I couldn't do that. I think that was probably the defense.
Oh, they also all right, so here are the similarities about three hundred documents that they weren't supposed to have that they were hoarding. They both kept the documents in or near a bathroom, although again in her case, like it is, they were on storage devices, they weren't just like loose damp paper, you know, those like yellowing the way they were with Trump. But yeah, big differences is that, like he's facing obstruction charges on top of this, which
is significant. He's arguably more culpable, seeing as he was a key national security policy maker, perhaps the key national security policy maker.
The one thing that.
Both stories like, I'm not totally clear on what the motive was, Like I with her, they're not like and she was spying or you know, at least it could just be sloppy like yeah, like you're just keeping that shit and they're like you, like, you know, you can't have that.
Like I think it's always like you know you can't have that. But with like Trump, I mean, like you know, very early on, remember he had like like representatives of the Russian government in the Oval Office and apparently showed them like shared some top secret intel with them. Like he there's like part of him that's part ego that he's like I know something you don't do you want to hear, and the other part is how much can
I get for this shit? Potentially the two paths. I see that to him, that's why those things have value to him.
Yeah, and like his world of billionaires wherever you know, billionaires are you know, in competition, but they're also just helping each other out. It's like them against the rest of the world. And so you know that that's probably more what he's used to is like all right, yeah, we're the camera's on around, you can see all these documents.
We're good here.
Like it.
It does feel like it's the inherent conflict. Like the very first thing when I like, when you hear Donald Trump is running for president, the idea of him being a politician is like, no, he's like a greedy, celebrity billionaire who's like possessive and does absolutely nothing for the common good. And like the contrast of like someone who does that, who then is like in charge of all these documents where he he like he has to in so many ways acknowledge that the job is bigger than him.
And like in that Fox News interview where he basically self incriminated, he kept being like they were my documents. They're like you just can't get over the philosophical bridge between like, no, that's a job and it's like a service thing and the idea of like, no, it's mine, everybody get away, this is all right.
He's like, when you go to a like a Yankee game, do you try and take the seat with you after the game's over? Right, He's like, it's mine. It's like, well, in the context of the you going to see it, it's yours, but after that it ain't yours.
Yeah.
I try to put it in terms he might understand.
Yeah, he was the Yeah, he was that person who, like after he got fired from TJ Max is like, why do I have to give back the keys? The keys? I had the keys. I should be able you gave me the keys.
Yeah, these are my keys. That is such a specific reference, like that was that you you ain't getting these keys back.
I'm pulling up in that TJ Max whenever I want to, whatever time I.
Want, pull up. Yeah, find me on Twitter at if keys. Oh but yeah, I mean, I guess we'll see what happens. It's funny to see stories like this and everyone goes, oh, Trump's toast and it's like, yeah, I don't know, man, it's is Yeah, I believe when I see it because oh no, go, no go ahead, but no.
I was like, yeah, because like at this point, any other person would have been like cooked right now, and we'd be, you know, having the rest of these cases while they're getting pulled out in a jumpsuit. And that's just simply just not like. It seems like it keeps being prolonged and it's dangling it in front of the people and giving people time to like do their dance. But I'm like what, let's like, I'm not believing anything until I see it yet I've been been burned too many times.
The one thing that was slightly surprising was the judge that was like a trumpet point who like did everything in her power to like just embarrass herself as a judge, like earlier or last year when it was like this special case swirling around. Yeah. Is she did set a date for August for the trial to start, So a lot of people were like, she might push this shit a year and she's like, no, it'll be We're doing
it in August. Okay, all right, So you're starting to maybe move in that direction, but there's still plenty of opportunities for her to completely fuck up the process.
Oh definitely.
Again, like I said, I'll believe it when I see him like with like his whatever his hair looks like, when he has no access to the shit that he has at his house, then I will believe it.
Yeah, definitely. I mean it is like a weird uh dichotomy. You know, we've talked about. I mean last I was on a while ago, I talked about, like, when is the point that these people are going to finally like allow themselves to distance themselves from Trump? Like they're just so I think every I think everyone was so surprised when Trump got elected that everyone's like it might happen again, and I want to be on his good side if
it does. And it just reads very corny, uh, And there's just I don't know what to kind of take from this anymore, because it's like, we don't have to play this game anymore, but when you still.
I mean, I think it just goes to show the mindset of like a lot of his supporters and the politicians that are like in that maga mindset, which is most of them really at this point, is that it's
not really a political party. It's just this it's just like this anti democratic movement that's happening by any means and like they're all kind of pointed in the same direction, and but there's not much real long term thinking going on, because like even as as we look at it, you like all these people hopping in the race and no
one knowing what's going on. I think just goes to show that it's a lot of people at this point they might just run for their ego and who knows if it's really to oppose Trump, but I don't know. We'll see, we'll see what happens. I mean, because like no one, no one's really saying with their full voice, like this is bullshit.
So yeah, yeah, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back, and we're back. And credits for Marvel's new show, which I don't know has has anybody seen it?
That's not the credits, the Alien Invasion.
One AI Secret Invasion, Secret Invasion. Yes, so just premiered and it's got a credit sequence created by quote an AI vendor, which is not that shocking because it kind of looks like shit.
Oh yeah, it looks like all that terrible AI art that like animated AI art. It has this like look that's just like not just it's shitty, it's just really fucking bad. Yeah, did you have any of you seen the full the full credit sequence?
No, I have not.
I just watched it. It's so it's like really unbelievable that a company that has like a background in an animation and then a brand that's like rooted in comic books goes for some of the most uninspiring animatics I've ever seen, like truly, like they're not even it's not even like, yo, this is actually wild. It's just like
this looks like amateur hour kind of stuff. And I guess only unless you're like wowed by the idea that it's AI, that maybe you look at it differently, but objectively you look at and you're like, is this like the bootleg version of this show? Right? Yeaheah.
So the executive producer Ali Salim said that he thought the AI credits felt explorative and inevitable and exciting and different, although he doesn't really understand how it all works.
But like, I don't know, I don't know how. I don't know, man.
Yeah, but the fact like saying it's explorative and inevitable kind of give you away the game. It's just like, yeah, this is it's progress just fust your eyes on this. All right, So we're watching Miles is showing us the clip.
Yeah this, this looks like every AI TikTok. Yeah exactly. You know, it's not like it's funny that they're like explorative. It's like in what way when in the way that everyone who has access to a cell phone has been doing this, like you like, you know, like it is just it's weird to see how many people are just trying so hard to push this agenda that that AI is the future and this that and the third and we need to go we need to just get on board because it's just proving the longer it goes on
that it just isn't there. And everyone, you know, everyone keeps trying to like keep it relevant by being like yet until it learns, until it learns, and it's like, yeah, no, that's gonna be stopped. I mean you already have Drake, you know, suing over the AI music. Like I don't see AI in legal terms making it much farther because it is it is just derivative of you know, established copywritten stuff and is just kind of mishmashing enough stuff
together to say it's a new thing. And at a certain point, people are just gonna be like, okay, cool, then you need to show the data in what your you know, computer learning used to get that, and you need to pay me if my name was there, And then AI's gone overnight, right.
I mean, the company behind the scene, behind the sequence released a statement being like, the AI was merely a tool used by these artists whose name we didn't list, And then I get I guess in the actual credits, you can see the people's names, but like one of them seems to be made up, Like the AI technical director is credited in the show as Sagan's Carl, which people are like, that, are you just reworking Carl Sagan's name because that name has no Internet present other than this one credit.
Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm really curious, Like and is that then you're like, oh, so you actually did credit the AI, right, Like are you just having that sort of like tongue in cheeks? They'd be like, And then Sagan's Carl, the homie that came up with this real lukewarm, fucking uninspiring opening, it's gonna it's gonna be a I don't know, I mean, like, I I can see you see a lot of people
who hear AI and they just get excited. But like to like, it sounds like this producer is like one of these people just uncritically being like yeah, man, it's like I hear like it's like all over the place. So we figured this would be like a cool way to step in. I don't know how it works. I don't know if that's like worth replacing like actual human beings who are artists who could provide something that is like miles ahead of this, But I don't know if
that would be cool. Plus also, look, let's be real, the budgets got scrapped and we had to use an AI the cheapest way to get it done, which is probably I don't know. To me, that's what it sounds. The reason you would do something like this is to save money. Yeah, I mean that's the whole Like when you look at the we we are not like if you listen to this show, like you, you're probably not
getting the impression like everyone's super excited about AI. But like the stock market, like the the markets are so excited about AI, like that's driving like all the growth on the stock market in the past like year or so. Is like how excited people are about AI. So you just really get a sense from like, you know, this executive producer who he's listening to is people who are on the money side and are just like, we can make all this work disappear, and that is so exciting.
Hey, Mark, Mark, show him that. Show him that one opening you asked the AI to make for the for a Hulk show we just made up. Look at that a computer just did that. I just typed a word in. Yeah, So I'm telling you this is the future, man, It's
the future. And the thing that's like I also hear a lot of people too, like I get from friends who work in the nonprofit space, like how much Chad Gpt has helped them with grant writing, And I could see how like for something like that, it may feel like this really mundane process that you can just kind of now free some mental bandwidth up.
But as I hear more about like people using it for writing and things too, like, I'm just not sure we are going to be able to adjust what like a curriculum needs to look like in a world filled with AI that is like, is actually at the same pace that the AI develops Because I feel like the worst case scenario is like we embrace all this and people have just lost the ability to think because it's like just easy to be like I don't know, I
type my desires into this blank box and then something appears.
Yeah, all right, well, well we'll see if this Segon's Carl turns out to just have an amazing.
Career in that he's just some guy, Like did they hire that? Did they use the AI to like concoct the live for them? Like, is that the at the end we had our artists? Yeah, I mean that would be that would also be wild. It's like, but I am Segan's Carl, Yeah, and were being yeah.
We'll see, I can't open the door.
Help with me, you guys, Arizona Tea fans, I only drink one.
I'm like loyal, and which one?
You?
Mucho? Mango? Much mango?
I fuck with that watermelon. And I remember when that Energy r X dropped and I thought I was on some new new I was like, Oh, this is gonna be what I need to do these long nights.
Yeah. I think at the very beginning, I was like, I remember the peach one blew my mind, and then I was on the Ginsen Green tea one for a while because I think just the colors were like very vapor wavy for me, like in the late oh yeah. But now whenever I ifever, I dagn to grab a can of Arizona, it's mucho mango. I don't know, I think it's some most chemically.
Yeah, it's it's it feels like thick right mucha mango.
Like it's not I mean like you mean like it's not. No, no, it's like a juice basically it's pure whatever, pure unhealth.
So these these are this is ranking the tea flavors. One of them is like part mucho mango, but oh yeah that one yeah, half and half iced tea and mango is their lowest ranked on this list of taste.
They're actually given that and Arnold Palmer half and half the like, which is I have to say, just based on seeing the iconic can many different places like that, those have to be a couple of their most popular, right, those are those are getting the lowest marks, and then you know up top you got your like number five is iced tea with lemon flavor, which is that's the high that's number five. That's not okay, The green tea
with jinsing and honey is number three. But that and that's like one of the more iconic cans with like the cherry blossom.
Yeah, dude, that shit has like there were so many. I feel like Rebok did a shoe based on that can. Like that can is like it's basically the new aesthetic. It's like the solo fucking jazz cups. Yeah, you know, it's like the Arizona iced ty can vibe. But the whole thing like that.
We this article came out right in the aftermath of the sugar episode we did earlier, and I was just like, okay,
so what are we looking at for total sugar? Like one of the Arnold Palmer there, like it just tastes like watered down and like kind of sucks compared to the one with just lemon flavor, and like that one has, uh, the big one, the one that they like that's in the top five, has fifty nine grams of sugar, which like the daily allotments twenty four, whereas the Arnold Palmer only has forty four.
So this is the thing, man, Like, the more I get in touch with what my actual health needs to be and what is healthy, Yeah, I'm always fucking horrified looking at labels because them also the amount of salt and shit, Yeah, I'm I can't fucking believe. Sometimes I'm like, what the fuck I'm getting forty percent of my salt from this like one thing? Oh fuck that?
Uh.
But I like it's and I think what it is. It's so super freaky to me because I think on some level, right, I have this like childish idea that well, if they sell it in the store, it's because it's like, it can't be that bad for you, otherwise they couldn't sell it. But that's not how any of this shit works.
Like it's about making money. And then you put yourself in the like in these situations and you're like, wow, this is really It's almost like you have to work harder and you have to pay even more money if you want to avoid eating, like you know, having to consume like massive amounts of any of these ingredients that we're just inundated with. Yeah. Absolutely.
The number one they give to black and white iced tea, which is one of the least sugar on it. It's fourteen grams, so you still have sugar left for the day.
Okay, so you got a half holl of fuck your sugar. Okay, yeah again, I have such like weed dealer brain. I'm like, how many grams?
Yeah?
Oh yeah yeah, I'm like, oh that that doesn't look that bad. And then you think about it in a ziplock bag and you're like, oh shit, that's the one. Yeah.
If I'm guessing this is not None of these are drinks that you use as pre workout.
No, no, I don't. But you know there's some you know, when I was going to a barbell you know, we got like some power lifters, and you know, to get energy midwork you want like this like a rush of sugar and carbs. So they would just eat gummy worms. Now I'm about to be like, hey, maybe y'all need to bust out.
Eating gummy Wait, hold on, you got to put me on because I don't. I don't. Only Jim I've been here is I don't even know.
Yeah, yeah, you know, because you know, when you're gassed out and you're kind of like you need a little more kind of like sugar, uh and and like cards to kind of like get some more energy, they'll they'll crank a gummy gummy warm gummy worm.
Must that I'd be too worried that people would compare them to my legs and arms.
Hey, fella, look at that. What are you eat in your legs there? These are gummy worms.
Yeah. Bodybuilders prefer gummy bears because they are sweetened with ingredients like dextros and cornice there, both of which are fast absorbing carbohydrates. Because these ingredients don't have to be broken down through the digestive process, they're quickly absorbed into the blood and utilized by the muscles.
Oh if he wasn't just reading by the way, his eyes just rolled back in his head.
Yeah, my neck got extra veiny.
He just warmed into the mind of a health fitness expert. That's the kind of ship I would hear when I'm seven team and be like, oh yeah, gummy bears is a fucking workout food. Yeah, that's why I eat them every day and don't work out, Like just because I read this one thing that it's a bodybuilder's secret. Yeah. Oh shit, Well, now you're gonna see hopefully see Arizona iced tea cans. Yeah, yeah, him near you.
Just pop that pop that off with all them sugars.
Well, if he has always such a pleasure having you where can people find you?
Follow you all that good stuff.
Iffy widy Way on Twitter and Instagram, and definitely check out Kickstarter. I have a Kickstarter going for an actual play a video, you know, the D and D actual place, but it's not D and D. It's actually a game called Duster, which is a tabletop game that's a post apocalyptic western with some dope friends and comedians you know, Owen Bones from Mystery School. We'll be doing some stuff there.

It'll be good, and we're you know, gonna fund it. It's already shot, but this is to pay the editors and stuff. But yeah, of all that, and then also I'm gonna be doing a lot of shows on the road. We're gonna be
doing a whole lot of comedy. Why because we're on strike, so I'm gonna need to be on the in the streets doing stand up shit. So let's get it going.
You got anything going on coming up?
Yeah, this Saturday, if you are in the LA area, I have a show at the Glendale Room. I'm gonna be co headlining with Rob Hayes. It's gonna be good stuff. So pull up for that. It'll be great, trust me.
Oh amazing. All right? Is there a work of media that you've then enjoyed? Oh? I guess you know.
I'm gonna count video games and then I'm say street Fighter six. You know, I have a club if you're trying to get some labbing in with me and throw hands with me. Uh yet, all you gotta do is just hop on onto the battle battle Area battle Zone I think it's called and look up w c FC Washed City Fight Club and uh that'll be me and the homies trying to throw hands.
How As somebody who you know used to play Marvel First Capcom street Fighter two back in the day street Fighter two, I was like super street Fighter two. That was probably my my height of my super or my street Fighter powers. How easy is it to hop into six?
Six is easy for this one main reason. If you say you want to play, you know you want to you know, you know, burn one and just get some fights in, and you not trying to remember each and everyone. They have a new mode called Modern where it is like, and this is great if you played Marvel versus capcom because it's simplified controls where there's one for kick, one for button, so like it's easier to combo and it's kind and you can you still play against the other people.
The trade off is, even though it's easier, you do just a little less damage so that it balances out with the people who are playing in the Classic mode with all the other setup. But I know a lot of people who like used to play back in the day who come in and they're not trying to you know, go to EVO or anything. They're just trying to have fun. They've really liked the Modern fight mode because it just kind of makes it a little a little less like intense.
Okay, man, Okay, I'll think. Yeah, Miles, where can people find you? What is work media? You've been enjoying?
