Kevin Conroy has died, and yet people are still making art as if Batman the Animated series didn't already exist.
FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange, went bankrupt, leaving everyone who held FTX tokens at a loss, which is just what fractional reserve banks using fiat currency like the US dollar are like.
Am I right, libertarians?
It's another edition of Millennial vs. Gen Z. You know how that always turns out.
All this and four morons.
The B weekly.

Hey everyone, welcome to the Babmalumbi podcast.
Hey, only podcast on the internet.
I'm hanging out with Marlon Brandon, Morgoth, and Adam Yesner.
The greatest name of all time.
Yeah.
Which isn't a joke that none of you get.
You want to explain why.
So I have a big announcement.
My dry bar comedy special, if you're fans of dry bar comedy, is coming out November 25th.
I taped it last year.
I'm very excited it's coming out.
It's called Adam Yenser, not big enough to cancel.
They released the title graphic today and they spelled my name wrong.
It's Jenser and they put Adam Yesner.
So after a year of building up to this and emailing with people.
They're like trying to get them to put it out.
But I'm very excited for it.
And we'll get them to fix it.
It's just a spelling issue.
People often do that with my name.
They switch the N and the S and call me Yesnar.
And when it happens live at a stand-up show, I can make a joke out of it afterwards, but when it's in promotional material, it's hard to go back and fix.
When I heard they spelled your name wrong, I'm like, how do you spell Adam wrong?
It's pretty sad.
I was at a Starbucks recently.
You know that baristas always get the names wrong?
They didn't spell it wrong on the cup, but this is when I was home in Allentown visiting my family.
I went to Starbucks and I said, she goes, can I get a name for the cup?
And I said, Adam.
And she goes, is that Adam with an H?
And I like stared at her.
I don't think she's doing a bit.
I'm thinking.
And I go, no, how do people spell Adam with an H?
He goes, oh, I've seen it spelled A-D-H-M.
And in my head, I'm like, no, you haven't.
No one's ever spelled it that way.
Abram?
I feel like they're just trying to teach the baristas how to spell names wrong.
Like you're on a candid camera bit, like you used to mess with me.
Yeah, like when I used to mess with you.
I thought about that.
I thought maybe it's somebody messing with me, but it was such a weird thing to say.
Yeah.
Maybe you messed with them back on your old Ellen segments and they were like, now's my chance.
Now I can mess with him.
And there's no cameras or audience.
It'll just be in my head forever that I messed with him.
This has been Adam Yesner.
Yes.
That'll be the title of my next special.
The weekly name is with Adam.
Adam with an H. That's a good name of a comedy special.
Well, we are joking about comedy, but now it's time for somberness because Kevin Conroy, the voice of Bruce Wayne and Batman, who are the same, you know, spoilers, but they're the same.
Yeah.
In Batman the Animated series and various TV series, feature films, video games, the Arkham games, has passed away at the age of 66.
Greatest, greatest Batman.
The greatest Batman, I think, top of the list for sure.
And we'll talk more about Kevin later, but for now, let's have three seconds of silence.
We've also got Sizzler Facts.
Awesome.
Yeah.
You were going in for the bit, and I stopped.
No, it's FTX.
You're good.
No, you're good.
I'm sorry.
Sorry about that.
We've got Sizzler Facts this week, though.
Oh, by the way, it's a good one.
And there's some FTX story that I read, but I don't.
It says FTX with a question mark.
FTX?
There's a question mark after it.
It's something I've seen in the news.
Some guy, like, he lost all his billions.
Yeah.
But I don't follow any of that stuff closely.
This was understood.
Also, some potential money laundering thing going on, potentially.
It's a crypto thing, and he's like biggest Democrat donor, and he just took off on a plane to Argentina.
It sounds something about Ukraine.
Ukraine also gave to FTX and then.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then FTX gave to Democrats and then Democrats gave to Ukraine.
Yeah.
That's right.
It's full circle.
Hey, everybody.
Do you want to meet everybody in this room?
Then go to BabylonBLive.com and buy tickets for our new Be Live event.
Wow.
Where is it going to be?
It's going to be in Dallas/slash Fort Worth, Texas on February 24th.
Or Fort Worth.
Wow.
You were just down there and they.
Yeah, it's Fort Worth.
It's in the DFW area.
But most people, you know, I used to Dallas.
I always used to call it Dallas, but then when we were down there last week, people are like, oh, that's Fort Worth.
I feel like Fort Worth is well known enough that it's its own thing.
I feel like because the airport is the same, I just think they're the same.
But it's at an awesome venue called River Ranch.
Yeah, we've been out.
We visited it last week.
It's gorgeous.
It's like old Western theme.
They got a bunch of different stages and stuff.
They got great space for it.
Yeah.
Hey, Brandon, when is it?
It is on February 24th of 2023.
Wow.
Reserve your tickets today.
Tickets are selling out like hotcakes.
All our VIP tickets are already gone, I think.
I think last I checked, there was one more.
So they're going on, yeah.
They're trying to move some, get some bigger space to maybe sell more VIP because they sold so quickly.
Yeah.
But yeah, please don't miss out.
And even if you don't get a VIP, because the big draw VIP is that you can come and actually hang out and maybe have a cigar with some of the folks here.
Because Brandon loves cigars.
Experience the awkward silences of all the Babylon B introverts in person.
Yeah.
You can experience that in person.
But we will also be hanging out in the general admission area for most of the show.
That was just kind of an after-show with the VIP.
So please do that.
There'll be lots of great events.
There'll be live sketches, podcasts, discussions.
Yeah, it'll be awesome.
And a live video address from Adham Yessner from Finland.
Yes.
Maybe.
I don't know.
I didn't run this by you.
Yeah.
Something really exciting.
We'll see.
Something really exciting.
I've been really excited about these.
We got some new stickers on the merch store.
This is my personal favorite.
This is the anodized titanium look.
Some people say it looks like anodized titanium.
I would have been like, I've been like, we have these shiny stickers, not the shiny ones.
Over on Kyle's stomach, the perfect place to show them.
These are, what are these?
Anodized.
Those are holographic.
Oh, just the holographics.
The shiny ones.
Turn them from side to side to display the glorious radiance.
Yeah, look at that.
That's pretty cool.
Yeah.
That's pretty cool.
Also, we hit 1 million YouTube subscribers.
We have one more sticker.
We have the brushed aluminum.
Oh, aluminum.
Where is it?
I thought you stuck it to me, and I was looking.
I'm like, I handed it to you, bro.
Did you?
It's right here.
MJ clearly loves the sticker.
She threw it on the ground.
Then the brushed aluminum.
I feel like.
So each of these is different.
So, these are like more silver-shiny.
That's like a rainbow kind of look.
Anodized titanium?
He's very interesting.
If you squint, you can see the difference.
And that one is like a light color, kind of like that.
This one's a little less with brush.
I would have said we have these three shiny stickers.
Buy the shiny stickers, shop.babelomby.com.
Also, we hit 1 million YouTube subscribers on our and there was much rejoicing.
Let's, we got, we had a massive celebration of video to figure out what we did.
You will not believe it we did.
So, let's play that video here.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Is the meeting over?
They were very excited.
Or we were.
Them.
Conservative Christians know how to party.
Yeah, we sure do.
I'm kind of feeling like a star belly sneach with these stickers.
It's upside down.
Are you kidding?
What's a star belly sneach?
From Dr. Seuss, when they have all the stars on their bellies.
I don't know.
And then they go on a little machine.
I don't remember the name of that book, but there was a book where he has a thing about the guys who have the stars.
The creatures that have the stars think they're way better than the creatures without the stars.
That's how I feel about Twitter boo check marks right now.
They're melting down.
They're like, what do you mean you also get this?
It's just like the blue check.
It's like a blue check.
Nice.
All right.
Well, let's talk about what's in the news this week.
What's in the news this week?
So here's what's in the news: Republicans failed to take the Senate.
The best they can hope for now is 50-50 if Herschel Walker wins his runoff election in Georgia.
So Republicans have till December 6th to figure out how to mess that one up.
They do have a slight majority in the House, though.
But even if they get the 50-50 split, Kamala Harris is the tiebreaker.
She tends to vote with the Democrats.
Yes, sometimes.
She usually does.
Yeah, she doesn't seem very moderate.
And we just found out just recently that Carrie Lake lost the governor race to Katie Hobbs in Arizona, who was also in charge of counting the ballots.
Which, eh, okay.
Yeah, maybe.
She refused to debate Carrie, didn't she?
And she refused to debate.
I think it's a big thing that, I don't know, I think Democrats were or Republicans were banking that that would really hurt her.
It didn't seem to matter.
Republicans usually seem to want to debate.
And Democratic candidates like, no, no, no.
I don't think so.
What's interesting because, you know, they slammed Katie for not debating, and then John Fetterman debate, and they're like, why did he do that?
Well, it worked for him, apparently.
Yes.
Because we nominated someone who could lose to that.
If you nominated anyone other than Dr. Oz, you win that, right?
I mean, not anymore.
Presumably.
It's Pennsylvania.
Maybe if there's somebody who was more of a moderate or not a mag can't, it's hard to say, though, but when I went back to Pennsylvania a few weeks ago, it was Fetterman signs everywhere.
Well, you can always count on Republicans to let you down when comes to the bottom.
Yes, I will almost invariably vote just straight Republican down the ticket.
And as I'm doing it, I'm like, I hate you all.
I hate you all.
I'll vote for you, but I hate all right.
But I mean, also, you know, let's not take some of the blame away from the Libertarian Party who always clinches.
Didn't they ruin the Georgia race?
Was that one of them?
They ruined every race.
But on the bright side, they're like, we're going to do it this time.
Yeah, 1%.
We'll get Slim House control and Ron DeSantis won in a massive vote.
So it's not enough to wasn't terrible.
To be fair, you're not giving us a lot to work with when you, again, nominate Dr. Oz.
It's true.
That's right there.
I'm begging you.
Yeah, but I'm begging you to please nominate someone that I can vote for.
I'm not happy with Dr. Oz, but it's never going to be the Libertarian.
It's never going to be the Libertarian.
So you get Oz or Fetterman, and the Libertarians are like, oh, we got a chance this time.
Well, the guy with the boot on his head makes some really solid points.
You got me there.
You got me there.
I have met Vermin Supreme.
What does he want to give?
Free ponies to everyone?
Yeah, he said free ponies, and he had a zombie apocalypse response plan.
You know, I respect that.
As a doomsday prepper, I really resonate with that.
Nice.
I met him in a basement in New Hampshire where drugs were being done.
Sounds about right for libertarians.
Yeah, that sounds like where they're.
Where else do you find libertarians besides the base?
I'm not lying.
That happened.
There's a big convention center for the Democrats and Republicans.
It's like, oh, you want to talk to the Libertarian?
He's down there.
Just a stare at him.
Ask for the guy with the boot accent.
But apparently, Republican Senate candidates in every swing state were heavily outspent by Democrats, not including PAC money.
And it looks the margins are insane.
$73 million to $9 million, $46 million to $12 million, $36 million to $2 million.
So the Democrats poured a ton of money to try to hold that Senate majority.
I'm curious what the actual correlation is between money.
I understand that more eyes obviously.
More eyes, but I mean, I wonder how much that does, because I always hear people talking so much about the money, the money, the money, the money.
But I mean, at the end of the day, shouldn't ideas went out over just, oh, I saw this guy's name on a billboard.
Let's vote for him.
I don't know.
I feel like a lot of the money is spent just to win that slim margin of swing ball.
It seems like there's like 90% on both sides that know who they're going to vote for.
1% of libertarians.
I mean, even like that, I feel like the money is just billions and billions to reach that little slim margin that tips you one way or the other.
Well, Laxalt, obviously, $46 million versus $12 million.
And Laxalt lost by what, like 6,200 votes, something like that?
Like 6,500?
Yeah.
1,000 votes.
It's crazy.
I'd love to know the total that they've spent on all Beto's campaigns because that's just a money pit.
You know, if there's anything that guy's consistent, you can't get it.
I would like them to spend more on Beto's campaigns, personally.
Speaking of spending money, the $8 Twitter blue check marks are now unavailable after imposter accounts erupted on the platform.
I didn't hear about this.
So they actually stopped doing the blue check marks?
I didn't hear about that either.
I got my check mark within an hour of it being available to the public.
I got the notification.
When Elon took over?
Or like a long time ago.
So there was two days or so where you could buy a blue check on Twitter blue.
And as soon as I got the notification for the update, I'm like, I'm there.
I've been waiting for it.
Take my money.
And is it $8 once or is it $8 a month?
It's $8 a month, but honestly, I think I could do a good sales pitch for it because it's not only the blue check mark.
Get to edit tweets, you get a custom app icon, you get an anodized titanium sticker, you get like, custom navigation, but you get all these features.
So when people are like you paid eight dollars for a check mark, i'm like I mean yes, but but also not just that.
Also you're a better person when you get that check.
That's true.
Yeah, people also my, my replies are priority, so everybody has to listen to me more and it just makes.
I heard all the controversy about how, you know, the people didn't want to pay dollars for a blue check mark, but I didn't know they stopped giving them out.
It was just like a short so because people started impersonating people with the blue check.
So i'm happy that Elon is shaking things up.
I think some, some changes need to be made.
I think there has been a little bit of oversight or uh undersight, of not being able to see all the the the, the fallout, of doing things so hastily.
But at the end of the day, if this causes Twitter to collapse into a pile of burning rubbish, I would be grateful.
I'm fine with that.
I'm fine with that.
Yeah, but that's kind of what happened with the pharmaceutical company.
So someone made a fake Eli Lily Tweet in it and it actually tanked their stock price.
Yeah, they said insulin.
Someone paid eight dollars for Twitter BLUE and wiped out fifteen billion dollars in market cap from a big pharmaceutical account because they tweeted.
We are excited to announce insulin is free now.
We all used to rally around hating the pharmaceuticals and then covet hit, and now half the country loves the pharmaceuticals again.
So if the pharmaceuticals want to take a hit from this, i'm stoked.
The one story I saw last night where or last week, rather that a lot of the sort of left-wing media outlets and a lot of lefties on twitter were saying they're trying to say that but Elon was attacking free speech, like he was attacking free speech because they claimed he was suspending accounts for making fun of him or impersonating him.
But the only examples were when they impersonated him, which was always against twitter policies.
Not even like.
No one was suspended just for making jokes about Elon Musk, and it was only people who bought the blue check and then they were trying to fake the account.
And they come up with this like narrative where they, oh, now he's being a hypocrite, but he wasn't attacking free speech at all.
It was always against policy to try to verify.
Verification should be open to everyone.
I think everyone should have that opportunity, but I think you should still have to verify who you are.
Yeah, not keep your name right, like if you're yeah, like your name, here's your name and you don't change it.
That's why the the reason I initially joined Twitter.
I joined late like 2018 because I wasn't really interested in it.
But some Ellen fan made a fake account in my name and they were tweeting out really bad jokes.
Was it Adam Yessner?
Oh, they got.
They got my name right.
Drybar didn't, but this random stranger did.
Uh, but yeah, they were tweeting out like bad jokes.
I was like I don't want people to think this is me, so I opened one so I could shut that account and i've got to put my own bad jokes.
Yeah exactly, exactly.
It wasn't offensive jokes like they were using the n-word or anything, it was just bad comedy.
No, I would have been fine if they used offensive jokes.
If they were good, if they were just good racist jokes.
I would have been like oh, I wish I would have thought of that.
well apparently jay lino uh was seriously burned on his hands and face in a gasoline fire while working on one of his cars which burst into flames yeah it's a shame the sole He's Republican, right?
The sole Republican like that.
He's never said, I don't know that he's ever said openly what he is, but his jokes always were at least more moderate and sometimes right-leaning.
And like he did, like Adam Carolla's Daily Wire show and stuff.
He seems to be at least more sympathetic to the right.
I never met Jay Leno.
I know a lot of people that have done stand-up with him or who wrote for him, but I have not met him personally.
One of your comedy heroes, I understand.
Well, we won't get into that, but I hope he recovers that he's doing well.
Well, also, the big news this week was FTX, which is a cryptocurrency exchange, it went bankrupt, rocking the trillion-dollar crypto industry.
Prices of digital currencies all fell.
Bitcoin went down to $16,000.
That was kind of a bummer, but I'm personally still holding.
I am too. I'm still.
Hold the line.
Yeah, hodl.
Hoddler or whatever.
Hodler.
Whatever the kids are saying.
Yeah, the CEO is Sam Bankman.
His name is Bankman.
You couldn't make it.
What did that mean?
Can we put up the mean?
Did you see the mean?
Yeah, the lizard person.
Literally just named him Bankman.
So Alameda Research is this hedge fund that he's kind of tied up in, and he's dating the CEO, who's this very strange-looking girl.
And it looks like they just kind of ran off with.
Looks like a girl who had to memorize pie in high school.
It's true.
She probably knows more digits than I do.
True ghoul.
One of those pie girls.
A little ghoulist.
Big callbacks to things that happened before the podcast started.
For my sound check, I recited.
His current girlfriend or the other, like, polyamorous one, because he was like in a throat signing.
It was like this, all these members of this firm.
They like all lived together and they were all in like multiple relationships with each other.
Yeah.
It was crypto.
Crypto orgies.
I would pay to not be invited to that.
That sounds awful.
I would pay $8 a month.
I would pay $8 a month.
The big thing here is that they donated a ton of money to Democrats, and there's like...
And a few Republicans, too.
And so there's some kind of conspiracy theory that they're donating money to Ukraine, and then Ukraine is buying the...
No, no, so U.S. sent money to Ukraine.
U.S. sends money to Ukraine.
Ukraine sends money by FTX.
And FTX gave money to Democrats.
Exactly.
That was the best with all of us saying it at this point.
But it's not a conspiracy theory.
Like, that happened now.
Conspiracy theory.
The one part I didn't see verified was the so Ukraine was heavily buying FTX.
That piece of money.
I believe that is true.
I believe all those individual elements are true, but it's not necessarily true that it was in additional, like they were all causally affected by each other.
It probably was.
I mean, I'll just believe any conspiracy because why not?
I think it's funny.
Yeah, but Bankman Freed was the largest Democratic donor behind George Soros.
And that's saying something.
Okay.
And Soros is left-leaning?
Sometimes.
Okay.
Sometimes.
So yeah, he gave $40 million to Democrats just in the last midterm elections here.
All right.
And of course, that'll be investigated.
Am I right?
Yeah, that'll definitely get to the bottom of it when they're done investigating the Las Vegas shooting.
I have full trust in the feds to get to the bottom of this.
That whole thing just died.
There was all these weird things and then it just went away.
Same with monkeypox, but I can't say that.
Yeah, monkeypox also went away.
Anyway, so speaking of monkeypox, Trump has announced that he is running, extending the 2024 election season.
Or beginning the 2024 election season.
Great news.
Go for president.
It'll be entertaining.
It will be.
I've gone through such strong mood swings with Trump.
Like in 2016, I was like, what is this?
What is this court jester doing?
And then 2017 rolls around and I'm like, yeah, mega.
Then 2020, after the election, I was like, what are you doing?
Stop it.
Shut your mouth.
I went through that exact same roller coaster.
I'm back to 2015.
I'm like, who's this clown?
At this point, I guess the only silver lining is the content we're going to get out of it.
Because he has the funniest one-liners when he's like, Do you still believe in Santa?
I guess at seven, it's March.
I guess it's seven.
And it'll be really interesting to see what happens because I feel like right now, I was for a while leaning back towards like, I want him to run again.
And then as DeSantis, this star rose and he's done a really great job managing Florida in so many ways.
And he's not as divisive or bombastic as Trump.
I really started becoming a DeSantis supporter.
And I think a lot of Republicans have kind of written Trump off at this point.
Like he'll just be a distraction or a weight.
But, you know, there's a lot of people in the media saying that's what everybody said about Trump back in 2016.
So who knows what his I think people are getting angry that he's slamming another Republican like DeSantis.
I don't think not good insults, Ron DeSanctimonious.
Like, come on, come up with something better than that.
Because I know a lot of Trump supporters, and they're just like, why?
What is the purpose in this?
You know, you're giving fuel to the left, and you had your moment.
You know, you lost.
It's time to pass the torch on.
And Ivanka said she's not going to work for his campaign this year.
Did you see that this morning?
Yeah, she put on Twitter that she wants to focus on her family and she won't be a part of the campaign this time.
The best part of his speech, though, is he said, instead of just make America great again, he said, make America great and glorious.
I don't know if he had the again, but then, so does it become Magaga?
Magaga.
That's the new thing.
Make America great and glorious.
I guess it's called for the execution of drug dealers.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Well, he's got my vote.
Sounds great.
Well, it's time for our banger of the week.
Treasure in heaven is great, but it's not going to buy you a tank of gas.

Banger of the week.
Fox News calls Arizona for Stacey Abrams.
I don't think these Stacey Abrams jokes will ever get old to me.
I don't know.
Maybe they're worn out now.
I don't know.
She's like Beto.
She's like a perennial loser.
It's just fun to.
And the fact that she wouldn't concede the first time she lost.
She's an entirely immediate creation.
Yes.
Like there's no real enthusiasm behind either her or Beto, except for that which people tell them, you must be excited about this person.
You have to like this person.
And some people are like swayed by that and they become actual supporters.
Like, I'm gonna throw a friend under the bus.
Like, when Kamala first announced her bid for presidency, one of my Facebook friends posted about it and said, Yes.
And I wanted to comment on it and say, Tell me right now, without using Google, why you are excited for this candidate.
Yeah, what do you know about her?
And do not say that it is her race because, let's be honest, it's her race.
Yeah.
It's a media creation.
They're told to be excited because Stacey Abrams is a large black woman.
It was so politically.
She's not large.
She's not a small or a medium.
She's large.
I don't know.
I might put an X in front of that, but I can say that.
I'm the woman here.
We also didn't even mention that she was a woman, but yes, that too.
Yes.
We all have a bomb of the week, as always.
Bomb of the week.
Millions of Americans struggle to fill the void in their lives left by the absence of political commercials.
Sad.
I like that one.
That's good.
And there's a guy staring out the window.
Yeah.
Always good.
I don't really see as many political commercials, but I get the text.
Yes.
The texts are all the time.
I think the texts, you know.
And sometimes I get them from both sides.
I get them from like Democrat candidates and stuff.
I'm like, when did I sign up for this?
I mean, I feel bad for lonely people because that's probably election season is the time they get the most.
Hello, how are you?
Well, that's what makes me mad.
I try to text them back.
I'm like, hey, you want to go out for a drink?
Yeah.
Just nothing.
I did get a few years ago.
I did get one of those texts from a canvasser or whatever asking me if I was going to vote for, I think it was actually Gavin Newsome.
And I just decided in that moment, I'm just going to keep texting them back and forth.
And obviously, they will do absolutely nothing to ever change my mind.
But maybe I can take enough of his time away that he's not going to talk to someone else.
Have you ever seen those people that scam the scammers?
Oh, yes, yes.
Like they'll just try to take up the time of one person.
Right, right, right.
That's what I was doing.
I was trying to do my small part on that.
Well, it's time for Sizzler Facts.
This one's a doozy.
I think we should split this up among everyone.
All right.
So here we go.
20 weeks.
I introduce a new feature to the podcast called Sizzler Facts.
This one's a little long.
I'll take the first paragraph here.
Once upon a time, in the magical land of Upland, California, a lone Sizzler stood strong representing truth, justice, and the American way.
Built in the 1970s, the Upland Sizzler branch was a cornerstone of the Upland community.
The local high school football team used to eat there before home games, walking across the street in their game jerseys.
And though it offered freedom and choices to its patrons, the community of Upland slowly grew apart from its culinary benefactor and refused to patronize the restaurant at a level that could keep it profitable to remain Opland.
Opland.
Thus, the Upland Sizzler met its untimely end.
After this particular Sizzler demise occurred, the new tenants of the building opened another restaurant, which they deceptively named Sizzlin.
Much like its predecessor, the new restaurant focused on steaks and salad bars and even kept the same Sizzler banners around the restaurant.
Michael Obe wrote on Yelp in 2014: I stopped there because my GPS had mentioned it was a Sizzler, but to my surprise, it was a generic knockoff.
The restaurant still had Sizzler trays, and some of the other utensils still had Sizzler written on them.
Cindy Oh wrote a Yelp review in 2015 about how she was tricked also.
If I hadn't asked for the Sizzler special from TV, we would still be in the dark.
Sizzlin is now closed and may be demolished this year to make way for a drive-through Starbucks.
This is why we need blue check marks to verify people.
So I think we couldn't have a fake Sizzler.
I think some of the reporting here was from the Daily Bulletin, is that right?
Because we actually pulled these facts from a newspaper that wrote a story about Sizzlin.
But I saw this Sizzler restaurant, and we used to go to the Sizzler restaurant in Upland, and then one day it closed.
And a few months later.
No, no, it was not.
And a few months later, it opened as Sizzlin.
Sizzlin.
And it's like they didn't want to change the letters on the sign, so they only replaced a few of them.
Wow.
But I actually never went to Sizzlin, and I didn't realize that they kept the same Sizzler signs and menus.
And people thought it was actually a Sizzler, but it wasn't.
It was like a Nathan for You bit before that was dumb Sizzler.
Dumb Sizzler, yeah.
I was on DoorDash the other night and I saw Sizzlin Place and that was like a Japanese restaurant.
So huh?
All right, and now it's time.
Oh, this has been Sizzler Facts.
Now it is time for Sizzler Commons.
Sizzler Commons.
Here's a message from Chris Uday.
Sizzler Comet.
In Philly, there's an Indian Sizzler.
Indian Sizzler LLC.
And they give the phone number, if you want to call it.
Okay, well, that's another knockoff Sizzler, I guess.
There's a few of them.
There's a few of them.
Well, this has been Sizzler Comments, and now it is time for weekly news with Adam Yessner.
It's time for the weekly news with Adam Yetzer.
In a speech on Tuesday, Donald Trump officially announced that he's going to try to go back to the White House for more secret documents.
And Republicans are now torn.
Ron DeSantis is the better candidate and would make a great leader for our country.
But on the other hand, it would be really, really funny to elect Trump again.
In Chicago, a noose was found at the construction site of Barack Obama's presidential library.
Investigators are still trying to determine whether this hate crime belongs in the fiction or non-fiction section.
After flipping several seats in the midterms, Republicans have won control of the House of Representatives.
House control is important because it determines which side to blame when neither side accomplishes anything.
Twitter gave a blue verified check mark to an account belonging to Jesus Christ, but blessed are those who have not verified yet have believed.
Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman in Batman the Animated series, died at the age of 66.
After hearing rumors that the best Batman died, George Clooney issued a statement that he's still alive.
Activists in Vienna threw black liquid on a famous Gustav Klimp painting to protest fossil fuels.
Activists also threw black liquid on a Thomas Kincaid painting to protest how bad it is.
UFC President Dana White is creating a professional pay-per-view slap fighting league, or you can just go to a Waffle House parking lot for free and wait for the magic to happen.
Hundreds of demonstrators in China marched through the streets of Guangzhou to protest the country's harsh new COVID lockdowns.
Hopefully China will end the lockdowns and let the people go back to being regular oppressed.
At a local pageant in New Hampshire, Brian Nguyen became the first transgender model to win a Miss America event.
So there's one pageant that found a way to keep Donald Trump out of the dressing room.
For the talent portion of the competition, Brian opened a pickle jar and during QA was the only contestant who could answer the question: So, where do you want to go for dinner tonight?
That's it for weekly news.
Come see me at the Comedy Chateau in North Hollywood, December 10th, and at Crackpots in Maslin, Ohio, December 16th and 17th.
Well, thank you.
That was great.
You can catch him on Dry Bar.
Dry Bar on November.
November 25th.
25th.
So check that out.
All right.
It is time for our tribute to Kevin Conroy.
He has passed away at the age of 66.
To many rational people, he is Batman.
Many people are saying so.
Maybe the smartest, finest person.
Everybody says he was not a comic geek when he got the role.
Producers gave him a crash course on the character, and he had five minutes to prepare to be Batman before auditioning.
Well, that's cool.
I never knew that.
I didn't know that either.
He really did define Batman for our examination, though.
When I got home from school, Batman the Animated series is what I would put on.
It was just, and it was such a fantastic series.
Absolutely.
And if you haven't watched the animated series, I highly recommend it.
It holds up.
It's just the greatest show.
It's very well.
It really is, yeah.
And I feel like nowadays that like the Marvel kind of Joss Whedon style of treating superheroes, it's like everything is played as a joke.
Like Thor's, like, I've got the hammer.
And they're like, you're an idiot.
You know, I don't know.
They satirized the character within the character, which can be funny as a subversion and humor and stuff.
But Batman the Animated series respected the source material.
I was a Justice League the animated series person.
Okay, no one from that died this week, so let's go back to it's him.
It was him too.
He also voiced.
Yeah, he also voiced every Batman for a long time.
I didn't know he also games.
The Arkham Games 2, which he just did a great job.
Mark Hamill was also the Joker in those, which was fantastic.
Conroy says, as soon as he said, because he's dead now, as soon as they described his schizophrenic lifestyle, it bugged me.
I thought, wait a minute, he is the Bill Gates of Gotham.
He invented vaccines and stuff.
He is the most eligible bachelor.
Everyone knows who he is.
And he puts on a cape and no one recognizes him.
Come on.
So he came up with a dual-voiced reading.
The naive Scion's lilt and his alter ego's deep growl who altered the legacy of the comic book he had a passing knowledge of.
So I guess he was the one who came up with like he speaks in a more kind of gravelly voice when he's when he's in the suit.
And Christian Bale took that to an extreme.
Christian Bale said, Who are you?
Swear to me.
Bale's voice didn't bug me.
It bugs me a little bit.
I wish I could do a Batman impression, but I'm a woman, so it's true.
It's true.
Try it.
What should I say?
Say, Do you bleed?
Do you believe?
No, bleed.
Do you bleed?
Do you believe is what Bible Man says?
I've seen that.
That was a wild experience.
He's interesting.
He says that he decided that the Bruce Wayne persona is the performance, and the Batman character is who he actually is.
When he puts on the cape, he becomes himself.
Interesting.
That's a cool way of thinking about it.
Mark Hamill, who voiced The Joker and is one of the best jokers, I would say, even though Mark Hamill, in and of himself, is a terrible person.
He's a fantastic joker.
But he said, basically, he always loved working with Conroy.
And he's noted as saying, when they offer me roles now, I say, is Kevin doing it?
And then I don't even have to read the script if Kevin's doing it.
I'll just do it.
That's awesome.
Even though Mark Hamill is a joker in real life, he is a great joker.
Got him.
He plays a great villain because he is a great villain.
Oh, this was great.
You quickly grabbed the screen.
I was able to grab, like, when they started texting me that Kevin Conroy passed in our Slack conversations, I looked at his Wikipedia quick because it was only on one website at first.
And, you know, people always update the deaths on Wikipedia faster than anything.
I had a whole team of people just saying that.
It was able to get a quick screen grab where the way they first updated this, at the bottom of his bio, they put he is no longer among us.
And they changed his picture caption to Kevin Batman.
But I just like that because Kevin Batman's hilarious.
And just that you read through, he was featured in the DC animated series and all the original movies.
He is no longer among us.
It didn't even capitalize Batman.
They were trying to get that edited out so quick.
I wish that would become the way we announced celebrity deaths.
Like, sad news for you.
So it's no longer among us.
Oh, it's so good.
That's a good phrase.
And now the Babylon B is presenting our picks for the top Batman.
The Babylon B presents the definitive list of the best Batmans.
Is this just Kyle's pick?
I guess so.
I don't think any of us weighed in on it.
I think I gave mine and we just all said.
I'm in pretty close agreement.
Pretty close.
I'm in close agreement.
I guess I can agree or disagree.
Number nine, George Clooney.
He was in Batman and Robin.
Any comments on the Clooney's performance?
Is this the nipple?
He has a nipple costume.
I also feel just that one, it wasn't a good Batman, but I feel some of the ones in the 90s, like the very stylized Tim Burt ones, and then Batman Forever and Batman and Robin.
It felt like they were really trying to lean into the visual comic book feel of it, and it just came across as almost too corny.
Yeah, I agree.
I haven't seen a lot of the Batmans, but one of the old ones I remember, he kisses Poison Ivy, and then he peels off plastic lips.
I think it was Batman Forever.
That was Val Kilmer, right?
So that brings us to number eight, Val Kilmer in Batman Forever.
I thought he was a fine Batman.
It's just.
I have a fond.
Fine was fine as a movie.
It was fine.
Yeah.
It's fine as a movie, but I have a fond place in my heart for the Batman Forever SNES game.
Oh, okay.
I don't think I played that one.
And I do love the Burton Batmobile.
That's probably my favorite Batmobile.
Number seven, Will Arnett in the Lego Batman movie.
Some people might place this a little higher.
I don't know.
I would maybe switch something out there.
I think the Lego Batman movie is great.
I don't know.
Will Arnett's good in it, but I don't know how much of it is his voice acting.
It's just a great movie.
I've never seen Lego Batman, but I've seen the Lego movie where Batman was.
Yeah, and I actually liked it.
I thought he was better in that than he was.
He's better in the as a side character than they made him the whole thing.
Number six, Ben Affleck.
I thought Batfleck was fine.
I didn't see that one.
Batman v. Superman and Justice League.
I thought he was fine.
With a lot of these actors like Clooney, Kilmer, Affleck, even Pattinson, it just kind of feels like a Hollywood actor gets to a certain age, and it's like, well, I guess I'll play Batman now.
I don't know if I buy them that much.
I actually really liked Robert Pattinson's because I liked how it's kind of a film noir and they lean more into the detective angle, which is something that I think the animated series did a bit more than the superhero angle.
Absolutely.
So that brings us to number five, Robert Pattinson in The Batman.
He was better than I expected him to be.
I had other problems with that movie, but I thought he was really good as Batman.
I liked him.
I did think there was too much of his acting, which isn't necessarily his fault, was just him slowly turning and looking at the camera, you know, and like with dramatic music.
Not like the movie.
But the...
I didn't think it was great.
I had some issues.
The little clip we played at the intro for this segment from California's Move to Texas episode two.
Our actor Carrie was improvising a line, and she just said she was just supposed to make something up, and she said, she turned to the table and said, Who's y'all's favorite Batman?
So who's y'all's favorite Batman?
That was my favorite improv line.
It made no sense, but I had to keep it in the sketch.
I was like, let's cut that line.
It's not good for pacing.
And you're like, no, we're keeping it in there.
I'm like, okay.
But immediately after that, where I did cut it, she said, mine's Robert Pattinson.
I grew up with him as Edward Cullen.
So I went into that movie and I'm like, I'm going to try to have an open mind, but this is Edward Cullen to me.
And so walking out and being like, all right, you know, it was a believable Batman to me.
I was impressed.
And that's all I needed to do.
The vampire bat.
There we go.
Yeah.
That's it.
Okay, number four, Adam West from the 1960s cheesy ones.
Adam West.
Adam.
Wetz in the 1960s.
Thank you for the pity fake laugh.
You always can tell when Adam's fake laughing is true.
Do you have a fake laugh?
Is that a polite?
I have a forced laugh sometimes.
Jarrett's real laugh sounds like a fake laugh.
And he does this weird shoulder shake while he does his fake sounding laugh.
He just laughs at everything.
He's just, he loves everything.
That guy loves everything.
Have you ever done it where you lay on the floor and cross your arms and someone pushes on your chest and it apparently shows your true laugh?
You cannot stop laughing.
It's like a guttural belly laugh.
Should we try this?
It sounds like something you do to a baby.
Should we try this right now?
It's honestly hysterical.
So what about it?
Lay on the floor.
All right, lay on the floor.
It's getting weird in here.
Now, cross your arms.
And I need you to say, ha ha ha.
And I'm going to push your arms.
When do I say ha ha ha?
Just start saying it.
Go, ha, Stop it.
Stop it.
Kyle's true laugh, everyone.
Stop it.
But yes, Adam West was a good Batman.
I don't know how well the sound was picked up because we weren't Mike.
He just can't stop.
I should have been Michael.
Well, now I want to.
We're going to try this with everybody later on.
Yeah.
Adam West, what is it?
Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb, which is one of the greatest lines of all.
Number three, Christian Bale in Batman Begins, Dark Knight, and Dark Knight Rises.
Even though the voice was a little too gravelly.
He was still good.
I love Christian Bale.
I think he did a great job.
Number two, Michael Keaton in Batman 89 and Batman Returns 92.
I love Michael Keaton.
I liked that they kept him just being this cheesy 40-something year old suave Playboy character.
He was just kind of a goober and I liked that.
I don't know.
And finally, number one, should come as no surprise, Kevin Conroy.
Batman Animated Series, New Batman Adventures, Batman Beyond, etc.
That is the correct choice.
He was the best, yeah.
Any agreement or disagreement with the list before we move on?
I disagree with a few of it, but it's a good thing.
Nitpicky.
Okay.
Yeah, I think it's.
I guess I haven't seen enough of that.
I haven't seen Ben Affleck, so I don't know where to put him.
But other than that, I have a phoned-in performance.
I don't have enough emotional connection to Michael Keaton, so Christian Bale might go a little higher offense.
I could see tying those for number two: Christian Bale and Michael Keaton.
Yeah.
Because they're very different performances, but I enjoy them both.
I think Ben Aflak could have been better, but the movie Aflak.
Ben Afflack.
Ben Afflack shows how much I like him.
But I feel like the source material didn't give him a ton to work with.
Well, that's fair.
That's fair for a lot of the Batmans in the lower half of the list that they just didn't have a strong.
Is this definitively all the Batmans?
Like, there's no obscure ones.
Like with James Bond, there's like a George Lattice.
There's no one that in a commercial somewhere.
Some random clip.
Keanu Reeves voiced Batman in like a recent side bit.
But I didn't include any interesting.
In Scooby-Doo, like the old Scooby-Doo cartoons.
They used to have Batman and Robin sometimes in the episodes.
Yeah, it wasn't.
But they also had Adam West as a guest star.
He might have voiced him.
It's possible he voiced him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, interesting.
Yeah, so I didn't include side bits.
And I was considering leaving out Will Arnett as well, just because it's kind of a parody of the character.
I think he did a really good job, actually, though.
I do agree it was much better in the Lego movie than the Lego Batman.
Yeah, I agree with that.
All right, well, now it is time to own Gen Z with facts and logic.
Americans are discovering that if we want to change the nation, we have to change the way the marketplace works.

Gen Z in the hot seat.
Movie quotes.
Whenever we talk to people of the younger generation, sometimes we make references here.
We talked about this with Chandler when she was on a week or two ago, that we made some reference and she was just staring at us blankly.
And we were like, what?
You don't know that?
Obscure 80s sci-fi movies.
And so what we decided to do is we're going to quiz our Gen Z social media manager here, Morgan, on some classic movie quotes and see how many she can recognize.
So I'm the first year of Gen Z, so I'm 24.
So I feel like an honorary member of the Black Eyed Peas, honestly, is about the age I've been.
Wait, first year.
We don't know who that band is.
Yeah, who's the one?
Boom, boom, boom.
I know, I know.
It was core to my development as a person.
I was like 10 when that came out.
I'm like, this is the best thing that's ever happened.
Along with a strict adherence to a memorization of pie.
Yes.
It's true.
And then is she going to give us quotes from like TikTok videos?
So at the end, she's going to have some quotes for us.
Okay.
But first, we'll do this part.
And so you say you're first year, Gen Z.
That means you're old.
Yeah, I'm like, you're an old woman to Gen Z. She's a Zelder.
She's an Elder Z. Like, I was never downloading music on Lime, LimeWire or whatever.
But I don't identify with whatever, the gender goblinness of whatever's going on.
We escaped that.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
All right, well, let's, I guess Adam can start and we'll go this direction.
Okay, cool.
First one, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest with a herring.
That feels like a Monty Python quote.
Is that Monty Python?
That's good.
Do you know which Monty Python movie?
I give you credit for knowing it's Monty Python.
I've seen the Holy Grail, maybe, but I know the other one is Life of Brian.
Which one do you think that's from?
We'll give you credit either way.
Holy Grail.
Yes, good job.
All right, so a good start.
All right, awesome.
One for one.
Yes.
Okay, mine is let's put another shrimp on the bobby.
Whenever I hear Australian accents, I'm like, Owen Wilson.
I don't know.
Shrimp on the barbie.
But which Owen Wilson?
They're all the same.
It's just a movie with Owen Wilson.
Does he ever speak in an Australian accent in any of his movies?
Yeah, but that's just sounded like Owen Wilson.
Okay, sure.
Kangaroo Adventures.
Very close.
It's Dumb and Dumber.
Opening Senator.
Kangaroo Adventures.
Is that a thing?
Hangar Jack was a kangaroo adventures.
She just made up a movie out of September.
Right.
All right, we've got one point so far.
Yeah, one out of two so far.
All right, all right.
Mine is, is there some kind of vest that I could wear?
Oh, um.
Do you want to say it with the... Shoot.
Should we be saying it in the character voice?
I'm reading it.
I was just reading mine straight.
Is there some kind of vest that I could wear?
Oh my gosh, wait.
If she's stumped, we could do the voice.
Do the voice.
Is there some kind of vest that I can wear?
That's some sort of.
Oh, shoot.
I know this movie.
I've seen it.
Give me the first word of it.
I cannot give you.
I cannot give you the first word.
Oh, Napoleon Dynamite.
Hey, God.
That's Kip.
That's Kip.
Great job.
Two for three.
All right.
If peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis.
Who's Miles Davis?
I can try to do it more in the character voice.
I mean, I don't know if it'll help.
If peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis.
That wasn't much different.
I got the inflection.
No, we said use the character's voice.
That was the Adam Yesner voice.
What is Adam Yesner?
Pass.
I got no pass.
That is from Billy Madison.
Adam Sandler.
Classic.
Okay.
So you got two so far.
I have two guns, one for each of you.
And I have a bonus quote to help you out.
I'm your Huckleberry.
Oh, that's.
I watched that as a Western.
It's shoot.
I'd watch this for film school.
I'm the worst film major ever.
High noon, not high noon.
Shane?
No, not Shane.
Hang on.
Name every Western.
You're going to get there.
Hang on.
If you'd name every Western, you'd get it.
Sundance Kid.
No, it's of grave importance that you get this.
No, no, no.
All right.
Hang on.
Oh, no.
That was okay.
You're really going to get buried if you fall behind here.
I'll be here.
I literally just watched this the other year.
Did you watch Pizza?
Did you eat pizza?
Well, I was going to say, if you don't get this, you're not going to get any frozen pizza.
Took me a second.
This is such high stakes.
So much pressure.
Tombstone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
We got three correct so far.
All right.
I have.
What is this?
A center for ants?
I've heard this quote, too.
Oh, my gosh.
What is this?
A center for ants.
Oh, no.
Adam Yessner is not a fan of this movie.
He does not like that.
You're a handful of movies.
And he has said so on the podcast several times.
He has multiple times.
That might throw you off if you don't.
I mean, I edit the podcast.
Yeah, those things you would maybe know.
I've never made it through this movie because every time I watch it, it's so bad.
Dodgeball, you hate Dodgeball.
I mean, you're a disliker.
You're in the right.
You're in the ballpark.
You're in the dodgeball part.
Type of movie and era.
Yeah, sort of.
You're close.
And people.
What is it?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And similar actors that might share roles in those films.
Oh, Zoolander.
Hey, all right.
Yep.
I was wondering how much you would get just from the proliferation of meme culture.
Yeah, because that's a meme.
Because I do.
I recognize the quotes.
I'm like, I know this.
And I've seen Zoolander, but I just, it doesn't stick.
Okay, great.
So we got four so far.
Nice.
You're doing pretty good.
I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.
Is it a Nick Cage movie?
It is not a Nick Cage.
Okay.
I don't know.
I don't know.
What is it?
You know what I'm saying?
Anchorman.
Anchorman.
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yep, yep.
All right, here's my Mailwage.
Mailage is what brings us to the first time.
It's the Trinity Pride.
Oh, she did.
Finish.
Wow.
Mailage!
That blessed arrangement.
That dweem within a dweem.
You got it right.
Good job.
Yeah, thank you.
Woo!
Two, woo.
Sorry, go ahead.
All right, my next is Human Sacrifice, Dogs and Cats Living Together, Mass Hysteria.
Human sacrifice, Doc's cat.
She's like, Human sacrifice.
These things happen.
It's like that Venn diagram at the end of the end of the day.
A movie about human sacrifice, dogs and dogs, and mass hysteria.
What is it?
This is Bill Murray in Ghostbusters.
Oh, okay.
Finally, I've definitely seen that.
I just want to put it out there.
I just didn't remember the quote.
This is my last one.
What we do in life echoes in eternity.
I know this quote.
Do you, though?
Yeah, I've heard this quote.
I've heard this quote.
Oh, man.
I think this was on Kangaroo Adventures.
Kangaroo Adventures.
It was a sequel.
This is Kangaroo Adventures 2.
What we do in life echoes in eternity.
You're going to have to help me out.
Tell me.
Gladiator.
Gladiator.
All right.
I've seen all these movies.
It's frustrating.
I'm impressed with your knowledge so far.
All right.
My last one is, I say we take off, nuke the sight from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure.
Is that the one where they blow up the asteroid that's coming to Earth?
No.
Which one?
That would be Armageddon or Deep Impact.
Armageddon.
I've seen them both.
I have seen them both.
Deep Impact.
They came out very closely.
I don't know.
I think we're overdue for a new Astrid movie.
Wasn't Deep Impact the knockoff, like, where they tried to rush it to...
I think they were both in production at the same time, and then they tried to rush one...
What's the one where they had the drilling crew?
They got the...
And they had them train in the NASA pools, and they're like, you need to drill in.
We're going on in the sides here, but one of my favorite Kean Peale sketches is, speaking of Ghostbusters, Ray Parker Jr. sings the hits, and he does all the, or like, does all the movies that he didn't get a released song for, and one of them was Armageddon, and it was like, when Armageddon is here, we better get out of here.
Looking like a deep impact.
Armageddon slash deep impact.
Looking like a deep impact.
Busting makes me feel good.
I'm never sure about that line one.
All right, what is it?
What is that?
So the movie is Aliens with Sigourney Weaver.
Yeah.
So you got five so far.
And my final quote is, life finds a way.
Actually, it's life finds a way.
Would you like to restate it?
Life finds a way.
Jurassic Park.
Good job.
Good job.
You got six, and I'm very impressed.
Yeah, this is good.
And I knew like some of the other movies.
I recognize that.
I'm impressed.
Well, now you get to get a chance to get your revenge on us old men with 12.
You said you had 11 and a bonus.
Is that right?
Yeah, bonus question.
So I have some movie quotes, but I also, because I grew up in internet culture, we also just have some really iconic sounds that people my age could sound videos that if I if I say something, they would know the rest.
Okay, so the first one is from a movie.
Tell me the movie.
If you're from Africa, why are you white?
I know this.
Sounds familiar too.
This sounds familiar, but I know it.
Do you guys know?
I do not know it.
I think it's from Mean Girls.
That was going to be my because she was like in Africa as a whatever.
Not missionary, but you know, South Africa.
Yeah.
Okay, this next one, I'm going to say something, and you need to give me the correct response to it.
Ready?
Roadwork ahead.
Yes, please.
No, I know this one.
It's a pun.
It's a pun.
It's like roadwork ahead, and there's like a pun response.
It's like a TikTok sound or something, right?
It was a vine.
Or like a vine.
It was a vine thing.
Roadwork ahead.
I don't remember.
I don't remember.
So I do this every time I pass a roadwork sign.
You go, roadwork ahead.
And the other person goes, uh, I sure hope it does.
Yes.
That's what it was.
Roadwork ahead?
Yeah, I sure hope it does.
All right.
This is from a TV show.
I'll do it in the voice, or else you won't know it.
Oh, brother, this guy stinks.
I can't do it in the.
See, that's why I didn't do voice.
Oh, brother, this guy stinks.
This is a SpongeBob reference.
That is.
Really?
That is.
I have never seen SpongeBob, but I assume that's a good thing.
I know that you like SpongeBob.
I love SpongeBob.
Oh, brother, this guy stinks!
All right.
I ate my twin in the womb.
Sounds familiar to me.
Is this a movie?
Yes, this is a movie.
It's a movie.
This sounds familiar.
I have no idea, though.
I ate my twin in the womb.
You know, just because I don't know what kind of movies you guys like, I'm going to go ahead and say that this is from Shrek.
Do you have any guesses?
Or the B movie?
You like jazz?
Very scientific.
You like jazz?
That's all I know for the B movie movie movie movie.
They like the B movie.
Do they really?
Shrek.
I don't understand.
I know they like Shrek.
I don't know about them.
I think they ironically like B movies.
Oh, but yeah.
I have no idea.
This is from Pitch Perfect.
Oh my gosh.
This is like one of my favorite movies.
It was the really quiet Asian girl and she goes, you needed to say it like that.
I would have gotten it.
Okay.
I'm really ashamed for you.
I don't want to ASMR the audience.
Like, I ate my twin in the womb.
Destiny's going to be a bit more sad.
Because that's how she goes.
I talked about this last night with your wife.
I read through these and she's like, Kyle, well, no.
She's going to be very disappointed with me because I was like, oh, I know where that's from.
And for some reason, I didn't know.
Yeah.
All right.
This one, you get half a point if you know what TV show it's from.
You get the other half of a point if you can finish.
This is the value of the points.
Well, I just made up that rule.
All right, here we go.
Obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guava juice.
Is it from a Disney Channel original movie of some kind?
It's from a TV show.
I know, but they.
Oh.
Is it from a Disney channel TV show?
Nickelodeon.
Is it from Sam and Cat?
Or what's the other one?
iCarly, is it from iCarly?
It is not.
Fairly odd parents.
It is.
Is it really?
Yep.
And the rest of the line is giant snake, birthday cake, large fry chocolate shake.
Oh, okay.
Well, we got half a point.
Are we just doing random guesses in somehow?
No, it sounded.
See, I didn't want to go to the bottom.
I let her guess a bunch of westerns.
It sounded like the sort of humor that's on that show.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's the theme song.
He does it really fast.
Really fairies make things.
Yep.
Okay.
She called me a noble steed.
Is this a movie?
This is a movie.
Oh, Shrek.
That I'm going to go Shrek.
That is Shrek.
That is Shrek.
I've never seen Shrek.
I saw the first one.
I never saw any of them.
I'm going to do this in the voice, or else it won't make sense.
I'm tired of this, Grandpa.
Well, that's too bad.
That Rick and Marty?
It's from Holes.
Oh, God.
That is from Holes.
Kyle's killing it.
He knows all these.
Well, we're collectively going.
Except a tentative guess towards Mean Girls.
Okay, here's another.
another fill-in-the-blank all right hurricane katrina more like hurricane this is a vine and anybody my age would know it hurricane katrina more like hurricane george w bush doesn't care about black people that's how that's you finish the quote with that bob Hurricane Katrina,
more like Hurricane Tortilla.
Gen Z is the worst.
We just always terrible.
You guys don't think it's funny, but these are the, this is like iconic things in my, they are so funny to me.
Hurricane Katrina!
More like Hurricane Tortilla!
Yeah, Gen Z is the worst.
Here we go.
You guys make fun of boomers.
Boomers brought us Monty Python on the Holy Grail.
Gen Z brought us Hurricane Tortilla.
Hurricane Tortilla.
Tortilla, whatever.
All right.
I have three more in a bonus.
All right, we're ready.
We're ready.
Live life, breathe air.
I know somehow we're going to get there.
What is this?
This is a TV show, sorry.
Hi, Carly.
He's right.
Good job.
Yes.
Yes.
All right.
This one might be a little old for my generation, but iconic.
Happy people just don't shoot their husbands.
This is a movie.
This is a little old for your generation, Issa?
I mean, when it came out, I was about three or four.
That puts it at like early 2000s.
When some of ours came out, we were not alive.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is just stuff that shaped the generation.
Legally the Blonde.
Yes.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
I've never seen that movie.
Really?
It just felt like it was from Legally Blonde.
That's phenomenal.
Okay.
This one is one of the most triggering sounds.
And I say triggering, and I mean triggering sounds from my childhood and anyone my age.
Okay.
So I'm going to start it and then you need to finish it.
It's a traditional pronoun.
All right.
The fitness gram pacer test is.
What?
Is this from like a is this from a vine?
No, this is just a very triggering sound.
It's like a test you guys had to take in school.
So what happened is in gym, everyone my age and this huge like chunk of people my age, you would all line up on one side of the gym and you would have to run to the other before this ding happened.
And then you would have to run back and you would do that the entire gym class.
Sounds like squid.
And they played.
It was awful.
The doll turns around and kills you.
And they played this track.
It was like in a track.
They'd play it and it started with the fitness gram pacer test and it gave you the instructions.
It is.
How does it finish?
The fitness gram pacer test is a multi-stage aerobic capacity test that is designed to get progressively harder as it goes on.
Oh man, that sounds like what the sound like.
Literally a guy that goes, the fitness gram pacer test.
I thought you said there was a sound.
Like a buzzer.
Oh, it was like a ding.
It was like a really annoying ding thing.
Yeah.
I never knew that one.
That sounds dystopian.
That's something I'm just seeing a dystopian.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
And my bonus question.
Okay.
It's from a vine.
But who is 19 and doesn't know how to read?
Oh, that sounds vaguely familiar to me.
It's a person's name, right?
I feel like I've seen this before, but I don't remember what it is.
Is it La John T?
Yes.
What?
Wow, I just guessed.
La Johnte.
It's Jared.
Points are good.
Jared?
Jared.
Jared.
Yeah, he says, what's up?
My name's Jared.
I'm 19 and I never learned how to read.
I'm Jared.
Could you read number 23 for the class?
No, I cannot.
What up?
I'm Jared.
I'm 19 and I never learned how to read.
Okay.
Cool.
That's cool.
I like La Johnte better.
All right.
Well.
Wait, did we really get 9 out of 12?
Yeah, I think some of those were half points.
I feel we got like 8 and a half out of 12, maybe.
But yeah, we'll count it up during the editing and it sounds like maybe we won.
But we also had three minds working.
I tried to look for movie quotes, but it's so hard because I feel like there wasn't super iconic.
I mean, there was iconic movies, but we had such internet culture that it was more quotable, you know, one-liners.
I think she did some half points.
So if we like made all of ours worth 0.1 points, you had two half points.
Kyle watches a lot of movies.
Kyle watches a lot of women movies.
I'm just mad at myself for missing Pitch Perfect.
I'm going to be thinking about that all day.
All right, now it is time to talk with Todd Myers.
Todd Myers does environmental stuff for conservatives.
So he's a conservative who actually cares about the planet.
He's got a new book out.
He's going to talk about ways to...
Thanks, Todd.
So he's going to talk about ways to maybe like save the planet without giving all our power and money to government.
So here we go.
This show is sponsored by BetterHelp Therapy Online.

And now for another interview on the B Weekly.
All right, Todd, thanks for joining us today.
Yeah, thanks for having me on.
It's good to chat with you.
Yeah, it's good talking to you again.
I know I went up there, did the Roanoke conference a few years ago, and I was fascinated because I got to hear panels from these conservatives who like actually care about the environment, which I know isn't the, I don't know, that's not the stereotype, right?
It feels like that's kind of the that's kind of not what we think of when we think of conservatives as people who actually care about the environment.
But it was interesting because you can agree or disagree or correct me, but it felt like you guys have this take where a lot of big government people come in and try to rule things from the top down for environmental causes.
And a lot of times it ends up causing more harm than good.
Like we were hearing from people that actually own like tree farms.
And it's like, well, of course they care about the environment.
Trees are their livelihood, which was super interesting.
So let's talk, you know, I know you got this new book out, time to think small, how nimble environmental technologies can solve the planet's biggest problems.
So let's talk a little bit about that.
Why don't you tell us a little bit about what the book's about and we can talk about the environment and all of that?
Well, to your point, you know, I am a conservative and I've worked in environmental policy for two decades.
And one of the things that I have learned over the course of two decades is that conservatives actually often care more about effective environmental stewardship than folks on the left for whom environmentalism is sort of an identity and an opportunity to show how much they care, but they care more about appearing that they care than actually doing good things.
And I just remind conservatives, look at a map, right?
Look at where the red parts of the country are and look at where the nature is.
And those things overlap.
It's the blue parts of the country that we've paved over with asphalt and concrete.
I mean, those are the people who claim to care about the environment.
And conservatives in some ways have done this to ourselves because we sound like we don't care about the environment and we need to change that.
We need to have the confidence of our own convictions.
Part of the reason is, is that we're worried that if we say we care about the environment, then that's just a Trojan horse for socialism.
And the truth is, is that sometimes it is.
And sometimes the environmental left says it is.
But what my book is about is, look, conservatives care about the environment.
And here is a way that not only fits our values, but actually works better, takes care of the environment and achieves things that government can't.
And so I just wanted to lay that out.
The things that I have seen working 20 years in the environment, so conservatives can say, I care about the environment, which is the life they live, while still living up and being true to their values.
So what are some of these technologies?
You talk about nimble technologies that can save the planet.
You want to distill down a few of those for us?
Yeah.
So rather, I mean, everybody wants to talk about climate change, but I'll talk about a different one that I think everybody can agree on, which is ocean plastic.
A lot of plastic is going into the ocean.
It's primarily coming from developing countries.
It's a big problem, a big concern.
United Nations has a treaty that they say in a few years they'll figure out something to do.
But there's actually a group called Plastic Bank.
And what they're doing is paying people to go on the beaches and pick up plastic and collect it.
And since about 93% of people in developing countries have some kind of smartphone or cell phone, they can geolocate where they picked it up, turn it into Plastic Bank, they get paid.
And because many of these people don't have bank accounts, they get paid on their phone.
And then Plastic Bank recycles the plastic and sells it to SC Johnson.
So when you buy a Windex bottle, it says made with oceanbound plastic.
Now, the technology is nothing more than cell phones, really.
And then online Plastic Bank has a map that shows where all the plastic is.
Just doing that, they have collected 3.1 billion bottles, plastic bottles, and 140 million pounds of plastic.
And that is far more than any other government is doing.
And it's with technology that is nothing more really than cell phones and an online webpage.
And that's any kind of government mandate is running that?
Or that's just a private company that's doing that?
And in fact, they're doing it in places like the Philippines, in places like Brazil, where government failure is that they're not picking up the trash, right?
That's why a lot of this trash is there is because government has failed.
And so these small technologies and market incentives, right?
Paying people, selling the plastic are filling in for that government failure.
So that's a really exciting example of how big an impact small technologies can be in a way that is private, in a way that is positive and productive without big government.
Interesting.
Well, you mentioned climate change.
Let's talk about that since that is what everyone wants to talk about.
Yeah.
Is climate change a hoax?
Is it man-made?
It.
You know what are all the.
I know there's different takes on the conservative side, right and if climate change is real and it is a problem, what are the ways that you know?
You talk about the spoken private industry and incentives can actually drive these things, the solutions to these things what are the ways that private industry can do that?
So I think co2 does uh, increase temperatures.
There is a risk, but I I don't like the term climate crisis.
One, because I think it's overblown.
And two, when you tell somebody they have a crisis mentality, you are not complimenting them, right.
What you are telling them is is that they are being overly emotional and irrational.
But that's why politicians use the phrase crisis.
A climate crisis is because they don't want people to be rational.
But whether you believe in climate change or not, you want to save electricity because you don't want to spend money, and there's lots and lots of opportunities to do that.
And just in California, where you live, earlier this summer, when there was the energy crisis and there were blackouts, California has spent a huge amount of money on batteries right that oh, we're going to have renewables and then we're going to store the energy in batteries lots of expenses.
But at the moment when they thought that there were going to be serious blackouts, what the state of California did is sent a text out to customers saying, look, we're facing energy shortages.
If you can conserve, please do.
Within five minutes the state of California saved reduced energy demand by more than the value of all the battery power in the state complaint.
So think about how simple a message that is, where you just give people a text, and it's worth more than all the money that we spent on batteries.
There are technologies that can do that every day, whether it's smart thermostats.
In my house I have a little box called a sense monitor that tells me exactly how I'm using electricity, so I can find ways to say, conserve and save money.
That's money in my pocket, whether it helps the planet or not, whether you think climate change is serious or not doesn't matter, I'm saving money.
I want to do that, so that's the way that we can align personal financial incentives with the environment.
But the other thing is is that when politicians fail right, when they make a mistake, or when they subsidize something crazy like hydrogen vehicles, they don't never admit that they were wrong.
But if I do something and i'm not saving money.
I'm going to change, and so that's why technology and these sorts of and empowering people rather than government is more adaptable and more effective too.
Now, do you have any examples off the top of your head of um times that the government came in with the completely wrong solution or something that uh, i'm sure we got, or yeah, or came in and just you know I, I know?
A lot of times it's like they say, they have good intentions, you know, and we can all agree, yeah okay, it's good to take care of the environment, but whatever they do does the exact opposite, because they're incentivizing the wrong things.
Yeah, there's so many examples.
One of the first things that I did when I was working in environmental policy is I analyzed what are called green building standards, which is requirements that schools and other buildings be built to these green standards, and they promised that they would save energy.
And in Washington State, they said, oh, it's going to save 30 percent on energy bills for schools.
30% is a lot, right?
I mean, engineers and architects, they know a lot about energy efficiency.
And so if you can just magically find 30%, that was pretty amazing.
So I actually did a disclosure request comparing green schools to not to traditionally built schools, non-green schools in those same school districts.
And what I found was that the green schools used more energy per square foot, not less.
And in some cases, like 30% more energy.
Why was that?
Yeah, I know.
That's the question I always get is like, how could they screwed it up that bad?
There's a variety of reasons.
And one of them is that they argued that bigger windows were better because you get more natural light, you have fewer light bulbs, and you can save electricity.
That's true.
But windows are horrible insulators.
And so in a hot place or during the summer, right, you get a greenhouse.
In the winter, the energy goes out the windows.
And that more than offsets any savings you get from lighting.
And that's what we saw again and again.
But again, it is politicians who are not experts in these areas imposing these standards and thinking that they have it all figured out.
But when it fails, they don't pay the price.
They're not the one paying the extra taxes or other things like that.
But they did get to send out a press release saying, look, we've got green buildings.
It was funny.
I did an analysis of Reno's Washoe County Schools, and I got an email from the facilities director for Washoe County School District.
And I said, I am the facility.
I saw your report and I am the facilities director for Washoe County Schools.
I was like, uh-oh, he is not going to be happy with me.
The next sentence was, thank you so much for writing this.
I have been trying to explain this for years.
But he said the school board, they just wanted to have a green school plaque on the wall.
So those are the types of problems where people don't have the knowledge and they don't have the right incentives.
And technology allows people to have the knowledge and the right incentives that align with the environment, where politicians often don't.
Yeah, that's fascinating, especially because a politician may be long gone by the time the negative effects of whatever policy begin to take effect.
You know, I think, you know, Governor Newsom announces like, oh, only electric cars by this date.
Well, whether or not that's realistic, it doesn't matter.
He's gotten the kudos for it and he'll be long gone, maybe in the White House.
Ruining all of our lives by that point.
But yeah, that's super interesting.
Well, really cool.
We want everyone to go check out the book, Time to Think Small, How Nimble Environmental Technologies Can Solve the Planet's Biggest Problems.
And that's on Amazon.
Yeah, it's on Amazon and some bookstores.
And, you know, we're approaching Thanksgiving and every Thanksgiving, there are all these funny articles about, you know, how to talk to your conservative uncle about climate change.
Basically me, right?
They're talking about me.
And what my book is, is an opportunity for conservatives, for people who are on the right and care about the environment to say, no, that approach, the big government approach doesn't work.
It doesn't solve the problems you care about.
Here are things that do.
And I can tell you that this appeals across the spectrum because many of the stories in my book are from people on the left.
And the foreword is actually written by a woman who works for a group called Wild Labs, which is part of the World Wildlife Fund.
So if you're anticipating contentious conversations at Thanksgiving or Christmas about these issues, there are some arguments and ideas in here that appeal across the spectrum.
Yeah, that's awesome.
Okay.
Well, if you guys got crazy liberal family members, pick up the book and you'll have a way to argue with them at Thanksgiving here soon.
So awesome.
Well, thanks a lot for coming on, Todd.
We really appreciate it.
Yeah, it was very nice to chat with you about this.
Thanks for coming on, Todd.
And everybody go check out the book and we'll have links there in the show notes.
Now it's time.
That was a good one, Todd.
Good one, Todd.
Now it's time for hate mail.
Well, I like this hate male person's name, Patrick Johnopoulos.
It's funny.
The Babylon B writers are pretty average looking.
I believe that was in response to Kyle saying that free speech is now allowed on Twitter, so you are able to tweet out that the Babylon B writers are all extremely attractive.
And they said, actually, they're pretty average.
Okay.
It's true.
Well, we had a video of the 10 signs to leave your church, which was obviously satirical, and we had some angry comments.
This is from Alexander.
I couldn't tell if this was supposed to be funny.
It wasn't at all.
If I was laughing, it was from Cringe.
Cringe.
Or because someone was pushing down on my chest as I crossed over.
True laugh.
I hope you guys know I'm doing that to all of you.
Everyone in the office, we have to hear.
Subscriber portion.
Here are true laughs from T.P. Lamar with two R's.
In all caps, absolutely your worst video ever, and you probably don't know it.
From Randy Trayer, 96, please ban Brandon from the podcast.
His voice sounds like a self-righteous nerd that has way too much knowledge about useless facts.
Oh, no.
Speaking of which, did you know that the word lord comes from the old English word Hlofford?
Or for ladies, it was Hloftig.
You see, back in feudal times, bread and food were integral to survival, and Hlawford was appointed as the guardian to bread or food.
And over the course of time, Hlaford became colloquialized as the word lord.
And truly this gives – so ultimately, yeah, a lord was a loaf guardian or a loaf warden.
This gives new meaning to the fact that Jesus, our Lord and Savior, is the bread of life.
Brandon, I 100% believe that you made asparagus souffles as a kid.
I did.
If you are interested in becoming a loaf warden, go to HighlandTitles.com and use promo code Buzz.
How many places did you have Pie memorized to when you were in high school?
Actually, this guy, Randy or whatever his name is, he messaged, I commented on his little thing, his comment.
I said thank you.
And he messaged me privately.
He said, I'm sorry if that comment came off as overly offensive.
That was not my intention.
If it did, please forgive me.
I can delete it if you want.
So he said, you are horrible and should be banned from the podcast, and you're super annoying.
And you're like, I'm sorry, I wasn't music.
It might have come across a little harsh.
I was just getting some constructive criticism.
All right.
I said, it's okay.
I'm not easily offended.
And it's all true.
Last time I was on the podcast, people left a whole bunch of comments about how I have Valley Girl vocal fry in my voice.
And I just want to know what I'm supposed to do about that.
Like, I'm sorry, but yeah.
I don't think you have the annoying vocal fry like some girls do.
Yeah, especially living in the valley.
Like, you hear it sometimes.
You don't have it very bad.
I just say a lot of words wrong.
Like, I said remnant the other day.
Remnant.
Yeah.
We just left it.
Like revenant.
Like revenant.
Is it patronize or patronize?
Someone said patronize.
I missed it.
I've always said patronize.
Someone once said Haran on the podcast.
Haran.
That was.
Oh, that was me.
Joel O'Steen.
Joel O'Seen.
Yeah, it was funny because I was reading that paragraph and I said patron, and then I got to the word patronize and I said patronize.
So I said patron and patron.
Patronize sounds like how a British person, I don't know if they do, but it sounds like a British way.
Don't patronize me.
Don't patronize.
I don't remember the specific word, but I was once listening to a Jordan Peterson lecture and he mispronounced like a very common word.
Bucko.
Bucko.
He pronounced it bucco.
So like on stage, he like said this common word and then he like realized that he didn't know how to pronounce it.
And so he asked the audience, he was like, how do you pronounce it?
It just struck me.
It was like, you have this brilliant man who's studied philosophy and psychology and how easy it is to just, you know, mispronounce a single word, and you can, there's forgiveness in that.
I wish I remember.
I'm blanking on it now, but recently there was a word like that.
That's like, I've read it all through my life.
Like, I've read this word a lot.
And then I went to say it out loud and I was like, I've never heard like, there's two ways.
I can't think of what it was in that size.
There's two little things that you could pronounce differently.
And I'm like, I don't know which is right.
There's this old quote that someone heard once, someone said something along the lines of if someone mispronounces a word, it just betrays that they read a lot.
Yeah.
Like they don't hear it.
They read a lot of news that they just read it.
Kyle and I have this solidarity because we both say baggle.
Baggle.
Really?
That is atrocious.

They're smart.
We're like, baggle a lot.
That is horrible.
That is atrocious.
You said it.
