=== Big Brother Collects Communications (03:43) ===

[00:00:00]  From the age of Big Brother.
[00:00:03]  If they want to get you, they'll get you.
[00:00:05]  The NSA specifically targets the communications of everyone.
[00:00:09]  They're collecting your communications.
[00:00:21]  Well, ladies and gentlemen, we are back.
[00:00:23]  It's time for another Thursday edition of Thursday Thought Crime.
[00:00:28]  And there are so many thought crimes.
[00:00:29]  Yes, thought crimes are abundant around in our society, in our world, online, offline, wherever you go, you may run into a thought crime.
[00:00:40]  And in fact, when you're getting money out of an ATM late at night in inner city Philadelphia, look over your shoulder because there might be a thought crime creeping up behind you.
[00:00:49]  Yes.
[00:00:50]  So, who we got on deck today?
[00:00:52]  I am, of course, in studio.
[00:00:54]  But it looks like we got AK 47 himself, Andrew Colvat.
[00:00:58]  What's up, Andrew?
[00:00:59]  What's up, Jack?
[00:01:00]  How's the weather back east?
[00:01:01]  Yeah.
[00:01:02]  And we're waiting on Tyler.
[00:01:06]  Tyler is joining.
[00:01:07]  Tyler's coming.
[00:01:08]  He sees you.
[00:01:09]  He sees you.
[00:01:10]  He claims he's coming.
[00:01:13]  He's on what we call Mormon time.
[00:01:15]  Okay.
[00:01:16]  And it's a little bit different than regular time.
[00:01:20]  The same reason that they don't go for daylight savings, they have different numerology.
[00:01:26]  It's one of those things, right, Blake?
[00:01:28]  Pretty much, yeah.
[00:01:31]  He always leaves us on our toes.
[00:01:32]  You never know when he'll surface.
[00:01:34]  Yeah, well, like Jesus.
[00:01:36]  He could be right behind me right now.
[00:01:41]  The team is ready for him when he enters.
[00:01:43]  Let me just assure you.
[00:01:45]  You know, they say that 13% of thought crimes cause 50% of all the thought crimes.
[00:01:53]  What?
[00:01:54]  You know, it's funny.
[00:01:56]  13% of the time, they work every time.
[00:01:58]  So, Jack, you know, it's funny that you actually are onto something.
[00:02:01]  Probably about 13% of the thought crimes that we do on this show end up going viral in one way, shape, or another.
[00:02:07]  But more than 50% of that involve Lord of the Rings.
[00:02:11]  Jack is still pagan.
[00:02:16]  She's still pagan.
[00:02:17]  Overtly pagan.
[00:02:19]  Wait, don't we have the line?
[00:02:21]  Overtly.
[00:02:22]  Overtly pagan.
[00:02:24]  See?
[00:02:25]  There it is.
[00:02:25]  Overtly pagan.
[00:02:28]  That's becoming like a meme now.
[00:02:30]  Every time I post something, they're like, oh, Jack, is that overtly pagan too?
[00:02:35]  I was like, I went to see, like, the actually, I have it here.
[00:02:38]  This isn't branded, but I went to see the Super Mario Galaxy with my kids.
[00:02:42]  So, is that pagan?
[00:02:43]  The thing they're like, they're like, Super Mario Galaxy, overtly pagan.
[00:02:48]  I mean, is it, is Super Mario Galaxy, is it pagan?
[00:02:51]  I feel like it's got to be, right?
[00:02:53]  Yeah, it is.
[00:02:54]  No, absolutely.
[00:02:55]  Obviously, I mean, it's got, it's got turtle wizards.
[00:02:59]  I'm on, I'm on a set with two Catholics right now.
[00:03:02]  Yeah.
[00:03:02]  You guys have me beat on the identifying of pagan things.
[00:03:06]  Mario is Italian, and I feel like, Him being Italian implicitly means.
[00:03:11]  Well, so actually, here we go.
[00:03:13]  Wait, so this is, wait, no, there's actually a great line about this because the Legend of Zelda.
[00:03:19]  So, you know, Link, the main character in Legend of Zelda, everyone thinks his name is Zelda, but it's not, it's actually Link.
[00:03:23]  That if you go back, I think in the Japanese versions of like the original Legend of Zelda, he is like explicitly Catholic and they've got like crosses and on his shield and there's like Bibles, but it's like the Japanese version of the Middle Ages.
[00:03:40]  So it's like, It's like he has actual magical powers and abilities as well.

=== Kanye And The Japan Controversy (14:54) ===

[00:03:44]  And then in the American version, they changed it up.
[00:03:47]  Yeah, they do.
[00:03:49]  Oh, they definitely have.
[00:03:50]  There's a.
[00:03:51]  Did you ever play Castlevania back in the day?
[00:03:53]  Do you know that one?
[00:03:54]  I.
[00:03:54]  It's where you have like a whip and you fight Dracula and stuff.
[00:03:57]  Yeah, I did play that.
[00:03:58]  And in the manual, it is canonical in the manual that the Pope called a crusade against Dracula, and that's why you have to go kill Dracula.
[00:04:05]  Wow.
[00:04:05]  Because the Pope's ordered you to do it.
[00:04:07]  You know, we really didn't talk enough on this show about, because I think we covered in the Daily Show, but the Japanese American connection, how strong it is.
[00:04:16]  Oh, it's great.
[00:04:16]  We love that.
[00:04:17]  Gave us the Twitter purge we all needed.
[00:04:19]  Oh, we love our Japanese.
[00:04:20]  Yeah.
[00:04:21]  So, I have a.
[00:04:22]  I need to go to Japan.
[00:04:23]  You've been to Japan.
[00:04:24]  Yes, I have.
[00:04:24]  You went with Charlie, but I have not gone to Japan.
[00:04:27]  Oh, it's a very go toable place.
[00:04:29]  Wow.
[00:04:30]  I think I feel like I really want to, though, now, actually.
[00:04:34]  I bet.
[00:04:34]  I bet.
[00:04:35]  So, when I was in Seven Fleet, you know, Japan obviously was like our headquarters.
[00:04:41]  So, anything that was, you know, like conference wise or that I had to go to for whatever reason would be in Yokosuka.
[00:04:47]  So, you know, you're coming up, you're flying through Tokyo.
[00:04:49]  And I mean, it's just the.
[00:04:51]  I'll never forget.
[00:04:52]  You know, just riding around on the metro in Japan and seeing how kids, it's so safe that they let their kids just ride mass transit to like go to school by themselves.
[00:05:06]  Like, there you go.
[00:05:08]  And it's like, and it's kind of jarring at first.
[00:05:11]  You're like, where are the parents for these children?
[00:05:13]  And they're just like, you know, dressed for school and they're going like little kids and they're just like dressed for school and with their uniforms and then off they go.
[00:05:19]  And it's, it's very, it's just very neat and orderly.
[00:05:24]  I remember that was some of Charlie's selfie videos and like social media videos.
[00:05:27]  But that was actually, I remember him saying that about South Korea, actually.
[00:05:30]  South Korea was the one where he was walking.
[00:05:32]  I mean, that was where he walked through the park and the people are on like the bubble chairs and those would obviously be like covered with.
[00:05:38]  Graffiti.
[00:05:39]  And graffiti in America.
[00:05:41]  Which is sad.
[00:05:41]  We don't have to live this way, but we've decided to import a permanent underclass.
[00:05:46]  Though what I will say, Korea is the place.
[00:05:49]  Korea is the dirty version of Japan.
[00:05:51]  So if Korea is clean, Japan is hyper clean.
[00:05:53]  He just, but you guys went to South Korea first.
[00:05:56]  And China is.
[00:05:57]  China is like 10 times, like 10,000 times worse than Korea.
[00:06:02]  Japan is incredibly.
[00:06:03]  So, also, Blake, you remember the trash can thing in Japan?
[00:06:07]  Yes, the fact that they don't exist.
[00:06:10]  Exactly.
[00:06:11]  Oh, hold on.
[00:06:12]  Do we have a musical cue?
[00:06:14]  We have music playing.
[00:06:15]  Is this Japanese music?
[00:06:16]  Someone is arriving.
[00:06:18]  No, it's Tyler.
[00:06:19]  It's Tyler Boyer late arrival theme song.
[00:06:22]  This is Mormon music.
[00:06:23]  It's Mormon theme song.
[00:06:24]  Is this Mormon music?
[00:06:25]  Yes.
[00:06:26]  I think it is.
[00:06:26]  It must be.
[00:06:27]  He wouldn't listen to it if it wasn't.
[00:06:30]  Not allowed to.
[00:06:31]  Is it like mandated?
[00:06:33]  This is New Shoes.
[00:06:35]  New Shoes?
[00:06:36]  This is one of my favorite.
[00:06:37]  If I was going to have a podcast, this would be my intro.
[00:06:40]  Well, if I was making your theme song for you arriving late, it would probably be, I'd probably go with that.
[00:06:47]  I feel like you remember Charlie would be like, we would like find out like a few minutes before like the podcast.
[00:06:52]  He's like, it's like, I'm not going to be there or I would be late.
[00:06:54]  And then we would have to like stall.
[00:06:56]  I'm like, that's you.
[00:06:57]  You're the new, you're the next form.
[00:07:00]  Last four weeks, I feel like.
[00:07:01]  All right.
[00:07:01]  Well, since we have Tyler.
[00:07:03]  So we were, well, no, I want to, I want to hit on this more.
[00:07:06]  So, so Tyler, we were just kind of like, I don't even remember how we got there, but we were sort of loving on Japan and talking about how Japan.
[00:07:14]  And America really needs to be allies now.
[00:07:16]  And that was a big trend on Twitter.
[00:07:19]  Trump met with the new prime minister of Japan in the White House.
[00:07:25]  And that kind of just, but at the same time, Twitter, they sort of did this bot purge.
[00:07:31]  I don't know if it was a full bot purge or something, but it just made it so that Americans could see Japanese accounts more.
[00:07:38]  And for people who don't know, that for a long time, Japan has been the largest country on Twitter that has the largest daily active users, DAUs.
[00:07:47]  For any country, even more than America.
[00:07:49]  It's just sort of like their main social media there in Japan.
[00:07:53]  And, you know, people didn't realize that the Japanese had so much affection for the United States of America.
[00:08:01]  And, you know, that led to this kind of, you know, rekindling of the bromance, or perhaps like, perhaps you could even say like a, you know, blessing of the bromance between America and Japan.
[00:08:14]  And of course, that I came out and said on human events that we need to go a step.
[00:08:19]  Further, and we need to remilitarize Japan.
[00:08:23]  We need to allow them to have their full navy back, let them get nuclear weapons.
[00:08:27]  Like, let's go all in.
[00:08:29]  The memes have been so good, though.
[00:08:32]  For the record, it wouldn't be the first time that we gave Japan nukes.
[00:08:35]  Ooh.
[00:08:38]  Just in a different way.
[00:08:39]  It's not too soon.
[00:08:42]  It's not too soon.
[00:08:44]  Trump made the joke about Pearl Harbor, remember?
[00:08:46]  Because that's kind of what started all this.
[00:08:48]  All right.
[00:08:48]  No, we have.
[00:08:50]  Wait, do we have it?
[00:08:52]  No, we don't.
[00:08:53]  We should have.
[00:08:53]  Oh, because he goes, just for anyone who hasn't heard it, he goes, they said, well, why didn't you tell us about the surprise attack on Iran?
[00:09:02]  He said, well, why didn't you tell us about the surprise attack on Iran?
[00:09:07]  He said, well, why didn't you tell us about Pearl Harbor?
[00:09:09]  Yeah, no, we saw it.
[00:09:10]  We saw it.
[00:09:11]  No, but.
[00:09:11]  We, we, speaking of a country that used to be a U.S. ally, excuse me, we have another country.
[00:09:16]  So now people are saying Japan is our best ally or our best friend.
[00:09:20]  Hold on, now they finally got our greatest ally.
[00:09:22]  Yeah, no, should we play a video since we're talking?
[00:09:25]  No, no, no, no.
[00:09:26]  I want to, we have, we have, we saw that before.
[00:09:27]  We've got to get to, we've got to get to the ex U.S. ally, the decaying U.S. ally.
[00:09:33]  It was a special relationship.
[00:09:34]  Now it's more of just very special in that special way, which is the UK.
[00:09:40]  The UK is banning travel from America to.
[00:09:43]  To Japan, at least if you are one specific person.
[00:09:47]  I, yes.
[00:09:49]  And that person would be, well, he has multiple names.
[00:09:53]  He does have many names.
[00:09:54]  Kanye, Kanye West.
[00:09:57]  What do we call?
[00:09:58]  Is it Yi now?
[00:09:59]  I don't care.
[00:09:59]  Is that what you're supposed to do?
[00:10:00]  I don't care.
[00:10:01]  I call him Kanye West because when they change their name too much, it's not my obligation to know what it is.
[00:10:05]  Jesus.
[00:10:06]  Jesus.
[00:10:08]  There it is.
[00:10:10]  Did you like laugh?
[00:10:11]  I gotta say that.
[00:10:12]  Wait, do we have the video?
[00:10:13]  Do we have the video of that?
[00:10:16]  What do they call it?
[00:10:17]  The world stage that he was using with the fog?
[00:10:21]  Because, you know, that was him standing on it.
[00:10:24]  But, dude, look at this.
[00:10:26]  Is this not the coolest stage you've ever seen?
[00:10:29]  It really is.
[00:10:30]  I'm sorry.
[00:10:31]  It's the coolest stage I've ever seen.
[00:10:32]  It's one of the coolest stages.
[00:10:33]  I've also never seen it.
[00:10:34]  No, that is a cool stage.
[00:10:35]  I also think that that was the widest crowd that Kanye has ever had.
[00:10:38]  Look at this.
[00:10:39]  Where was this?
[00:10:40]  Look at this.
[00:10:41]  I think that was in California at the.
[00:10:43]  At the Intuit, though.
[00:10:45]  That's sick.
[00:10:46]  Oh, I see.
[00:10:46]  I thought that was Sphere.
[00:10:47]  I thought that was one of those Sphere things.
[00:10:49]  Oh, was it?
[00:10:50]  I thought he did his concert at the Intuit, though.
[00:10:53]  That was amazing.
[00:10:55]  But I saw a video of it.
[00:10:57]  I just found out that.
[00:10:59]  Oh, wait.
[00:10:59]  I don't want to say this.
[00:11:02]  Shoot, okay, never mind.
[00:11:03]  Believe my last.
[00:11:04]  I'm not going to say that because it might be a surprise for Tanya.
[00:11:07]  And she watches this.
[00:11:10]  I saw like people taking videos from the crowd, and I was just like interested, like who showed up.
[00:11:17]  And it was a very white crowd at this thing at Kanye's concert.
[00:11:22]  Well, and again, I think Kanye's appealed to a lot of people of different diverse backgrounds, but it was definitely.
[00:11:34]  There was definitely, he's definitely gained a lot of new wider fans, probably.
[00:11:40]  Is that just a way of saying that he's because he's embraced certain controversial political parties?
[00:11:44]  Yeah, are you saying because he went anti Semitic that he.
[00:11:47]  No, I'm not saying it.
[00:11:48]  I'm just, I would expect him to have a less white audience if he does that.
[00:11:52]  Yeah, exactly.
[00:11:53]  That's, that's.
[00:11:54]  Yeah, I think, I think that that's more popular than that.
[00:11:56]  But what's interesting about this, though, is he's been on this like apology tour trying to say, hey, I'm, you know, he's going with the like Jewish rabbi saying sorry.
[00:12:06]  And then he gets blocked.
[00:12:08]  This is fair.
[00:12:09]  I don't understand how this even happened.
[00:12:11]  Like, why would the UK go out of their way to block Kanye?
[00:12:13]  What's the explanation they're giving?
[00:12:15]  Just because of.
[00:12:15]  They want us to be stuck with him?
[00:12:16]  No, they've blocked people before.
[00:12:18]  They blocked Michael Savage.
[00:12:20]  Yeah.
[00:12:21]  Michael Savage.
[00:12:22]  Michael Savage can't go.
[00:12:23]  Yeah.
[00:12:24]  Oh, the.
[00:12:25]  He's banned the commentator.
[00:12:27]  The conservative commentator.
[00:12:28]  I'm sort of of of of two minds on this.
[00:12:30]  One, I don't know why we're supposed to care that much about what Kanye West says.
[00:12:35]  And I thought it was.
[00:12:37]  Weird when we had that episode, especially a couple years ago.
[00:12:39]  Is that the real thought crime?
[00:12:42]  Like, why do people care what Kanye West has to say?
[00:12:45]  As far as I'm concerned, rap is not really music.
[00:12:49]  Rap is not really music.
[00:12:50]  And on top of that, when they say insane things, it's really just barely a step above a crazy guy on the subway saying insane things.
[00:12:59]  And I don't feel that Kanye is that far away from that.
[00:13:01]  Caboose, could we get some Kanye tracks that you actually like?
[00:13:05]  Or are you against Kanye?
[00:13:07]  Here's what's the most crazy part of this.
[00:13:09]  One of the most popular, again, I don't like this song, but one of the most popular songs ever was his collaboration that he did for American Boy.
[00:13:18]  I don't even know it.
[00:13:20]  Does anybody know this song?
[00:13:22]  American.
[00:13:22]  I don't know that one.
[00:13:23]  No.
[00:13:24]  No, I know.
[00:13:24]  I proudly don't.
[00:13:25]  British songs.
[00:13:26]  Yeah.
[00:13:26]  What was that?
[00:13:27]  Wait, no, Tyler.
[00:13:28]  What was that song that I did last year, though?
[00:13:31]  It went pretty viral.
[00:13:32]  It's about a British girl being into an American guy.
[00:13:36]  Yeah.
[00:13:37]  And Kanye is, did the collab on that.
[00:13:43]  And now he can't go to the UK.
[00:13:46]  My favorite thing.
[00:13:47]  That is full circle.
[00:13:48]  My favorite thing that Kanye sort of had a hand in doing was you remember when he did that music video with Kim Kardashian on the motorcycle?
[00:13:57]  No.
[00:13:57]  You don't?
[00:13:59]  No.
[00:13:59]  I don't really know Kanye.
[00:14:01]  Okay.
[00:14:02]  Until he started running for president, I couldn't have told you.
[00:14:05]  Bound two.
[00:14:06]  That's the video.
[00:14:07]  So, Bound two.
[00:14:09]  So, it's just super weird.
[00:14:11]  The whole music video is like them on a motorcycle and it's like gyrating, like, I don't know.
[00:14:18]  And Kim Kardashian is not wearing a whole lot or anything at all.
[00:14:21]  And then, anyways, but the point is, Seth Rogen and James Franco did a whole mock parody of it where Seth Rogen's writing on.
[00:14:33]  We should get this.
[00:14:33]  We should get this.
[00:14:36]  I think Estelle, who did that song with Kanye, was at that concert.
[00:14:41]  I think she showed up as one of his, because he had a bunch of guest appearances.
[00:14:45]  I think she was, I think she came out and sang with it.
[00:14:47]  I don't know.
[00:14:49]  Well, anyways, we don't seem that passionate about Kanye.
[00:14:52]  Nobody seems to care.
[00:14:53]  Well, I care.
[00:14:54]  I just would.
[00:14:55]  I kind of do we not care?
[00:14:56]  I fold Kanye in with all other rappers, which is you just want to know.
[00:14:59]  I just aggressively want to dump on them.
[00:15:01]  Why do people like this stuff?
[00:15:02]  I think it is a setback for the right that people on the right are fans of rap music.
[00:15:08]  That's not Kanye, though.
[00:15:09]  This is Kanye.
[00:15:10]  This is Estelle.
[00:15:11]  This is his version of it.
[00:15:12]  No, Estelle sings a song.
[00:15:14]  Is he just the guy mumbling?
[00:15:16]  She sings a song and then he raps.
[00:15:18]  Oh, I didn't realize.
[00:15:20]  Here we go.
[00:15:22]  He said, Hey, this is my.
[00:15:24]  It's further up.
[00:15:25]  It's further up.
[00:15:26]  Do we have to listen to this song?
[00:15:28]  Oh, that's Kanye?
[00:15:33]  Right now.
[00:15:35]  I remember this.
[00:15:36]  I was told more plugged.
[00:15:39]  Was that song really enhanced by having a guy jabbering in it?
[00:15:42]  Yeah, he's the American boy in this song.
[00:15:47]  I mean, that's not who she wrote the song for, but in that version.
[00:15:50]  Here's more Kanye.
[00:15:54]  But that was a very popular song.
[00:15:56]  But isn't that.
[00:15:58]  This is a big hit.
[00:15:59]  Okay, it was a big hit.
[00:16:01]  So what?
[00:16:01]  So was the Barbie girl song.
[00:16:05]  Here's my question What if America banned popular British people from coming to America?
[00:16:12]  It would be hard work.
[00:16:14]  Are there ideas for that?
[00:16:14]  Media would freak out.
[00:16:16]  Who would we lose if we banned British people from coming to America?
[00:16:19]  So that's a question.
[00:16:20]  How is the American media doing with this?
[00:16:22]  Imagine if we banned, I don't know.
[00:16:26]  Can't even think of it.
[00:16:27]  The Beatles?
[00:16:28]  Well, yeah, the Beatles.
[00:16:30]  I mean, I don't know if you could compare Kanye now to the peak Beatles.
[00:16:34]  Well, I mean, there was that time that George Harrison wrote a song titled Heil Hitler.
[00:16:40]  So the Summer's Wireless.
[00:16:43]  It was John Lennon who had the Hitler stuff.
[00:16:44]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:16:45]  I mean, John Lennon, I guess that's a good point.
[00:16:47]  Like, you could probably compare Kanye West and John Lennon.
[00:16:51]  Yeah, you could.
[00:16:52]  And, like, if we would have banned.
[00:16:54]  There's a bunch of controversial stuff.
[00:16:55]  If we would have banned.
[00:16:56]  Ban John Lennon, uh, because yeah, he said tons of controversial political stuff.
[00:17:01]  To be fair, they did.
[00:17:01]  I think Nixon did try to ban John Lennon, yeah, but if he would have done that, it would have been World War III.
[00:17:07]  No, but I mean, I think he did actually try to do it, like they were trying to pull his, um, his immigration or something.
[00:17:13]  Oh, yeah, yeah, Nixon wanted to.
[00:17:15]  Also, John Lennon once proposed putting Hitler on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's.
[00:17:19]  Oh, see, yeah, so okay, again, like, like he's there's a lot of like provocative people on the Sgt. Pepper's album if you if you look closely, so here's because it's like a whole.
[00:17:32]  Array of you know dead celebrity famous people, etc.
[00:17:36]  Here's the thing, Paul McCartney, who died in between the filming or the recording of Revolver and Sgt. Pepper, and was secretly replaced by a guy by the name of Billy Shears.
[00:17:46]  Um, and because as we know, Paul McCartney actually died and in a car crash, and there's like secrets hidden in the lyrics, okay?
[00:17:54]  So, but here's the I hadn't even heard this.
[00:17:56]  Here's the thought, right?
[00:17:57]  This is like a you didn't hear the thought, right?
[00:17:58]  He died in 1966 and was never heard of the Paul is dead conspiracy theory.
[00:18:04]  No, you're even behind Mike Huckabee on that one.
[00:18:06]  I remember Huckabee once did a whole Paul is dead thing while running for president.
[00:18:09]  And you think it's real?
[00:18:11]  You actually believe it, Jay?
[00:18:13]  That Paul is dead.
[00:18:14]  I mean, it's you just have to believe the songs.
[00:18:19]  It's all there.
[00:18:20]  It's all there.
[00:18:20]  It's so much.
[00:18:21]  Wait, which song do they say reveals this that has the hidden.
[00:18:25]  Oh, there's a song in like all of them.
[00:18:28]  There's a song in the White Album that is titled Paul McCartney is Dead, but don't talk about the song and don't tell anyone about it and just pretend this doesn't exist.
[00:18:36]  But it's on this album.
[00:18:37]  He's dead and he was replaced by this guy.

=== Paul Is Dead Conspiracy Theory (15:33) ===

[00:18:39]  So it's on the track.
[00:18:40]  It's the song I'm So Tired.
[00:18:41]  It's the song I'm So Tired on Revolver has that at the end of it.
[00:18:46]  It's where it's like if you play it backwards, you hear, you hear, missing, missing, missing, Paul is dead.
[00:18:54]  And there's a bunch of like hidden clues within the Sgt. Pepper album.
[00:19:00]  For example, on the cover of Sgt. Pepper, someone has like an open hand over Paul McCartney's head.
[00:19:06]  And they say that in like Eastern religions, like Hinduism, that we know that the Beatles were like heavily into around this time.
[00:19:13]  They'd gone and hung out in India and they were like tight with Ravi Shankar, George Harrison was.
[00:19:20]  And whose daughter is Nora Jones, funny enough.
[00:19:22]  You know so much about this.
[00:19:24]  So I guess it's really convenient in this version.
[00:19:27]  And so that's like a sign of death, basically.
[00:19:30]  Okay.
[00:19:30]  So is it really convenient in this story then that they found a guy who not only looks like Paul McCartney, but was also a transcendentally good songwriter because Paul McCartney, or his imposter, has continued to write songs and they've been well received?
[00:19:45]  Maybe they just went through some of the recorded tracks that were never released and he just started releasing them.
[00:19:49]  Yeah.
[00:19:50]  But if you had to explain why there'd still be a talent songwriter with the Beatles.
[00:19:54]  What if John Lennon was actually still alive secretly and he was writing the music attributed to Paul McCartney even after his death?
[00:20:01]  Yeah, he was.
[00:20:02]  So John was alive for a decade after the Beatles.
[00:20:07]  So yeah, you can see the whole thing.
[00:20:08]  Paul McCartney looks a lot like young McCartney.
[00:20:11]  So, you see the hand over the head.
[00:20:14]  There's stuff, you know, over Paul.
[00:20:17]  You can see there's what is it like with the doll on the far right?
[00:20:21]  You know, there's supposed to be a Freddy Krueger kind of like shears, like scissors.
[00:20:27]  I think there's something.
[00:20:28]  What is the one thing?
[00:20:29]  Where's the car on the kid's knee?
[00:20:33]  And that's supposed to be a reference to the death of Paul McCartney in a car crash.
[00:20:40]  And there's that song on the.
[00:20:43]  On the White Album, that Ringo sings, where it talks about, you know, I'm so, you know, you.
[00:20:49]  Wait, hold on.
[00:20:50]  It's, you were in a car crash and you lost your hair.
[00:20:53]  Well, and you're forgetting the big one, Jack.
[00:20:55]  You're forgetting the big one, which is the cover of Abbey Road, which is Paul McCartney is one, he has his right foot in front of him instead of his left.
[00:21:02]  Yeah, so I know that for that.
[00:21:03]  I'm secretly dead.
[00:21:04]  So he's barefoot.
[00:21:05]  Yeah, and he's barefoot.
[00:21:08]  So the cover of Abbey Road is actually a funeral procession.
[00:21:12]  And so.
[00:21:14]  You have John Lennon is there as the, you know, like the angel.
[00:21:19]  Then, and that's why he's all white.
[00:21:21]  Then Ringo Starr is in all black.
[00:21:23]  So he's like the priest.
[00:21:25]  Then Paul is the one being buried.
[00:21:29]  And then George, of course, is the gravedigger.
[00:21:31]  So him being barefoot while he's on asphalt on a sunny day when it's hot, that signifies death.
[00:21:38]  The fact that he has his cigarette in his right hand, even though everybody knows that Paul McCartney was left handed, you know, shows that it's an imposter.
[00:21:46]  Man, there was something with the license plate as well that I forget of the Beatles that you could still have.
[00:21:51]  Have you heard any of this, Tyler?
[00:21:53]  No.
[00:21:53]  You've never heard of this?
[00:21:54]  But honestly, I have.
[00:21:55]  No, but I'm like, are you faking that you don't know?
[00:21:59]  Because the Mormon Church was involved.
[00:22:01]  No, the Beatles are so disinterested to me.
[00:22:05]  Like, I'm so disinterested in that period.
[00:22:07]  The Mormon Church came out of the Beatles.
[00:22:09]  They came out of the most innovative band.
[00:22:11]  Clearly, the most popular band.
[00:22:13]  There will never be a band more popular than the Beatles.
[00:22:15]  I actually agree with that, Jerry.
[00:22:17]  And I hate that.
[00:22:17]  I hate that about the Beatles.
[00:22:19]  So, these are Paul McCartney's.
[00:22:20]  Post Beatles career spanning solo work and wings produced numerous hits, critically acclaimed tracks.
[00:22:26]  Check this out Band on the Run, The Beatles.
[00:22:29]  Maybe I'm Amazed.
[00:22:30]  That's a huge song.
[00:22:31]  But here's the deal The Beatles were live and let die, Jet coming up.
[00:22:37]  The Beatles did so much damage to American youth.
[00:22:42]  How so?
[00:22:43]  I just think their influence was so negative at a time that that was an outlet for people that were turning away from like.
[00:22:53]  Basic American principles, and they were a oh, so you'll say that about the Beatles, but you won't say that about Lord of the Rings, who those people were also into.
[00:23:01]  Oh, gosh, I don't want to cause you more problems than you already have with Lord of the Rings fans, Jack.
[00:23:08]  Overtly, and I don't want to cause you more problems.
[00:23:10]  The same group of people in the 1960s loved Lord of the Rings, Lord of the Rings was like the hippie Bible.
[00:23:15]  Hold on, it's not about Led Zeppelin.
[00:23:18]  If we're going to talk about the effects, like we have to be fair about this.
[00:23:23]  Okay, listen, I'm back to the Beatles.
[00:23:25]  The Beatles were like subverting American culture at the time.
[00:23:33]  They turned young hearts and minds away from pro American values.
[00:23:41]  And you can't change my mind.
[00:23:43]  So you're saying that you know that there was a plot against Paul?
[00:23:49]  Could be.
[00:23:51]  Yeah, he's kind of playing into your stereotype here.
[00:23:55]  Yeah.
[00:23:55]  That very well could be.
[00:23:56]  Thank you.
[00:23:57]  So, what's interesting is I heard this one time.
[00:24:00]  It was a cultural critic about the Beatles, and he was saying, you know, everybody wanted to hear what the Beatles had to say.
[00:24:07]  The only problem with the Beatles is they said nothing.
[00:24:12]  And I think that's kind of interesting.
[00:24:14]  It was sort of, they said stuff, obviously, but they didn't really have like something they were.
[00:24:20]  We're complaining that the Beatles don't have a hard hitting political message.
[00:24:24]  I feel like we've got plenty of hard hitting political messages.
[00:24:26]  Well, nowadays we do, but you have Tyler's.
[00:24:29]  Point maybe like if you have this whole sort of malaise with the youth and turning away from traditional values, and they're kind of emblematic of that into this like ethereal nothingness that they were leading everybody into.
[00:24:41]  Yeah, I would agree with that.
[00:24:43]  I actually think the Beatles' entire vibe was like, uh, you know, it was almost like don't care about things except for your own emotions, like very self centered.
[00:24:53]  Think about it, they don't really have like you think back some of their lyrics, they didn't really have anything to say, they didn't.
[00:24:59]  And I remember thinking that that like.
[00:25:01]  Some of their biggest tracks.
[00:25:03]  I mean, like, I want to hold your hand.
[00:25:04]  Okay.
[00:25:04]  That was like one of the originals.
[00:25:06]  Like, okay.
[00:25:06]  It's a love song.
[00:25:07]  But like, you keep going down as they got more like eclectic and more experimental.
[00:25:13]  I don't really know what the message was.
[00:25:14]  What was the message?
[00:25:15]  I think, well, I think there needs to be a message for songs.
[00:25:18]  But I think it's like in the cultural context of the time, yeah, it kind of makes sense that they were leading everybody nowhere.
[00:25:25]  So you're saying we should have banned the Beatles from America?
[00:25:28]  A thousand percent.
[00:25:29]  Yeah.
[00:25:29]  No, I don't know.
[00:25:31]  I don't really have a choice.
[00:25:32]  I just, I don't think that art needs to have a message like that.
[00:25:34]  I think it's, It just can just stand on its own, I think.
[00:25:37]  Yeah, maybe, maybe.
[00:25:38]  I mean, I don't think that strong of thoughts about any of this stuff, to be honest.
[00:25:43]  But I mean, listen, I think they're very talented.
[00:25:45]  I think, to who said it, whose point?
[00:25:48]  There will never be another Beatles that has that sort of like cultural dominance and you know, Beatlemania and all of this stuff, and just the.
[00:25:59]  The songs that they have, there's so many huge hits.
[00:26:02]  Like, I just don't think we'll ever see anything like it again.
[00:26:04]  I just, I don't know.
[00:26:06]  It just does.
[00:26:06]  I kind of resonate with what Tyler's saying on some level because it was a time when kids were turning their backs on traditional values and going to nowhere.
[00:26:14]  It was a road to nowhere.
[00:26:16]  I think Lord of the Rings.
[00:26:17]  I think Lord of the Rings was their favorite novel.
[00:26:18]  I think most importantly was that.
[00:26:21]  Yes, it is.
[00:26:22]  Go look it up.
[00:26:23]  The hippies loved Lord of the Rings.
[00:26:24]  Lord of the Rings was, they viewed the Hobbits as like the pot smokers, they viewed the Hobbits as like, The Shire was like a commune that was like communistic.
[00:26:34]  They viewed the Mordor as like the military industrial complex and corporate society, and they had to fight against that.
[00:26:42]  And it was always seen up until the movies came out as a vehicle of the left.
[00:26:46]  It was totally embraced by the hippie countercultural movement.
[00:26:49]  Yeah, but then they made the movie and it was awesome.
[00:26:52]  So now it's straight and right wing and awesome.
[00:26:54]  Zuzu's Pedals donated $1 and says, Sadly, the Beatles became dirty hippies.
[00:26:59]  That's true.
[00:27:00]  Also, Zuzu Pedal earlier, she said she would.
[00:27:03]  We should ban Adele from the US, is what she said.
[00:27:07]  I think that the.
[00:27:08]  I like Adele.
[00:27:09]  I'm pointing out everyone's hacking our gear that if we're going to talk about the Beatles' impact on culture, we should talk about Lord of the Rings' impact on the 60s.
[00:27:18]  Hold on.
[00:27:18]  Can you name me, Jack, the drummer before.
[00:27:23]  Pete Best.
[00:27:24]  Ringo.
[00:27:24]  Who?
[00:27:26]  Pete Best.
[00:27:27]  Yeah, you got it.
[00:27:28]  Did you know that?
[00:27:29]  No.
[00:27:30]  Ringo ended up being.
[00:27:32]  There was also Stu Sutcliffe.
[00:27:34]  Huh.
[00:27:35]  Wow.
[00:27:36]  I didn't know you were such a fan.
[00:27:38]  Yeah.
[00:27:38]  Did you know that the Beatles performed all over Europe for years, just being a kind of a journey in a style cavern in Hamburg, Germany?
[00:27:46]  They played in Hamburg for lunch.
[00:27:48]  And that's how they got good.
[00:27:49]  That's how they got good.
[00:27:49]  They played every night in Hamburg.
[00:27:51]  Every night, like for hours.
[00:27:52]  At least that's the theory of Malcolm X. There's actually a couple versions of, like, I want to hold your hand in German.
[00:27:58]  Komm, gib mir das Geim der Hand.
[00:28:01]  Komm, gib mir das Geim der Hand.
[00:28:04]  Wow.
[00:28:04]  That you can actually get with the Beatles singing it.
[00:28:06]  How much about the Beatles?
[00:28:08]  Did you engineer this Kanye topic just so we could talk about the Beatles?
[00:28:11]  What is it?
[00:28:12]  What was the one?
[00:28:15]  She loves you is like she leaped dick or something like she leaped dick.
[00:28:18]  Yeah yeah yeah okay, we're gonna.
[00:28:21]  So, my god, as a clip too.
[00:28:23]  Uh, I should leave, all right well, hold on, just to put a final, like you know, I guess point, fine point on this topic, see see yeah see, leaped.
[00:28:36]  Yeah, that was a related topic off of this.
[00:28:39]  Okay, do that next.
[00:28:40]  All right, fine.
[00:28:40]  Which is the bigger picture thing?
[00:28:42]  We got it, we got it jack.
[00:28:43]  The big picture idea is, does the music you like show?
[00:28:48]  your IQ.
[00:28:49]  And the answer is the science is settled.
[00:28:53]  150% yes, your favorite band reveals how smart you are.
[00:28:58]  Really?
[00:28:59]  Yes.
[00:28:59]  So, what if your favorite band is number 12?
[00:29:01]  Let's throw up number 12.
[00:29:03]  This is the chart that was made.
[00:29:06]  No one's going to be able to read it, I suppose, but it's someone like did a big, I think they compared what your SAT score average would be versus the band you list as your favorite.
[00:29:17]  So, where are the Beatles at?
[00:29:18]  Let's go check this one.
[00:29:20]  It's scrolling by here.
[00:29:22]  You can see some of the dumb ones.
[00:29:23]  Wait, so the most famous, most impactful band in the history.
[00:29:30]  Was not on this.
[00:29:31]  No, the Beatles are on that, right?
[00:29:34]  They have to.
[00:29:34]  Yeah, the Beatles are definitely on here.
[00:29:36]  There's a lot of bands on this list.
[00:29:38]  The highest IQ, the highest SAT score by a mile, actually, is Beethoven.
[00:29:45]  Some other bands that finish high are Counting Crows.
[00:29:48]  I don't even know who that is.
[00:29:49]  You don't know who the Counting Crows are.
[00:29:51]  I mean, I've heard of them, but Tanya looks at the genre.
[00:29:53]  Tanya's like, here.
[00:29:56]  The dumbest one.
[00:29:57]  The dumbest.
[00:29:58]  Stand up straight.
[00:29:59]  Oh, gosh.
[00:30:00]  The dumbest artist is Lil Wayne.
[00:30:03]  Something.
[00:30:04]  Their that was their like big hit, their biggest hit was uh, uh, what is that?
[00:30:17]  The kiss the girl from uh, yeah, I heard the little mermaid there.
[00:30:21]  That was the little mermaid, yeah.
[00:30:23]  Oh, I said the Beatles are probably about 60-year-old Sammy.
[00:30:27]  Yeah, the Beatles are pretty high.
[00:30:28]  The Beatles look like they're about like 75th, 80th percentile.
[00:30:31]  They're an SAT of about 1150, 1140.
[00:30:32]  No, but Round Here by the Counting Crows is one of the best songs ever written.
[00:30:38]  Why is U2 so high?
[00:30:40]  Because if you're listening to them, you apparently have more refined tastes.
[00:30:50]  I don't know.
[00:30:51]  Here's my problem is when I looked at this list, I was like, most of my bands that I probably listen to are not on this.
[00:30:59]  Keep the B roll scrolling so the listeners can see it and identify where their bands are on there.
[00:31:05]  Argumenton, which is an amazing username, I must say.
[00:31:08]  Argumenton, that's awesome, says that.
[00:31:11]  Counting Crows equals complaining rock.
[00:31:13]  It is complaining rock.
[00:31:14]  That's great.
[00:31:15]  That's kind of like this.
[00:31:16]  Mr. Jones and me was great.
[00:31:17]  The Mud December is definitely more of a.
[00:31:20]  Counting Crows and that 90s vibe, that early 90s, that was the mother of all emo music.
[00:31:28]  Yeah.
[00:31:28]  The bands, just so you're looking at the screen, the bands on the left are dumb.
[00:31:32]  And the bands on the right are dumb.
[00:31:34]  So if you're a taking back Sunday fan, you're kind of done here.
[00:31:37]  I like Switchfoot.
[00:31:38]  I do not agree that if you like Switchfoot, you're as dumb as a Maroon 5 fan.
[00:31:43]  Well, deal with it.
[00:31:44]  This is science.
[00:31:45]  Yellow card.
[00:31:45]  So, anyway, I don't like either.
[00:31:47]  We actually had all of us send in.
[00:31:50]  We had all of us look at this list and submit their top five so we can finally determine.
[00:31:54]  This is much clearer than the thing I was looking at.
[00:31:56]  I couldn't even read half the.
[00:31:58]  Why is Aerosmith so low?
[00:32:00]  That's weird.
[00:32:01]  Well, it's not low.
[00:32:02]  I think it's just like it matters on the left to right axis.
[00:32:06]  The y axis here does not mean it.
[00:32:07]  That's what I'm saying.
[00:32:08]  Like, why is it so left?
[00:32:09]  Look at Beyonce.
[00:32:10]  Beyonce is super.
[00:32:12]  Beyonce is for dumbs.
[00:32:13]  It's confirmed.
[00:32:14]  But anyway, we did have everyone sign off their list.
[00:32:15]  So, let's go through it.
[00:32:17]  How about we do, let's do Tyler first because he was last getting in.
[00:32:20]  And you know what they say, the last shall be first.
[00:32:22]  So we've got Tyler's list.
[00:32:26]  What are his top five?
[00:32:27]  Let me see.
[00:32:28]  Something corporate, Jimmy Eat World, System of a Down.
[00:32:32]  That's not mine.
[00:32:33]  It's not?
[00:32:34]  No, that wasn't.
[00:32:35]  Those aren't the ones I didn't have to see.
[00:32:37]  What are the ones you circled?
[00:32:38]  It was something corporate, Jimmy Eat World, Yellow Card, Counting Crows, and I can't remember the top five.
[00:32:46]  Oh, we have an inaccurate Tyler top five.
[00:32:48]  That's not going to cut it.
[00:32:49]  Yeah, it's that was that was we're reading it all right on to the next one.
[00:32:53]  All right, let's go to let's go to Jack's.
[00:32:55]  What's Jack's top five?
[00:32:56]  We have Radiohead, The Beatles.
[00:32:59]  Okay, so he loves this hippie pagan band.
[00:33:02]  Let it be noted, it's overtly pagan, overtly pagan band.
[00:33:06]  David Bowie, definitely pagan.
[00:33:08]  We've seen Labyrinth, that's a movie.
[00:33:10]  Uh, David Bowie, I'm into these.
[00:33:13]  We have Nirvana, I like your list.
[00:33:16]  I like your list.
[00:33:16]  Nirvana, is that just my list out of like what's on here?
[00:33:20]  Yeah, exactly.
[00:33:21]  I'm a huge.
[00:33:22]  I'm a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan, and I don't see the pump.
[00:33:24]  I didn't see the pumpkins anywhere on there.
[00:33:26]  So that would be my.
[00:33:27]  They were so far to the left, Jack, that you must have missed it.
[00:33:31]  No, actually, they were so far to the right.
[00:33:33]  Right.
[00:33:33]  They're off the chart.
[00:33:35]  They just blew the bell curve.
[00:33:36]  Yeah.
[00:33:38]  Okay.
[00:33:38]  So I like Radiohead.
[00:33:40]  I like some of the Beatles songs.
[00:33:42]  I'm not like a Beatles fanatic.
[00:33:44]  David Bowie, I like his movies better than his music.
[00:33:47]  Nirvana, like them.
[00:33:48]  Metallica, like them.
[00:33:50]  Bowie's phenomenal.
[00:33:51]  I got to see him a ton.
[00:33:53]  The thing is, I never really have absorbed David Bowie, but maybe I'll have to go back and.
[00:33:59]  I'm sure you've heard David Bowie's song.
[00:34:02]  I've heard David Bowie's song.
[00:34:04]  Do we have an Andrew list?
[00:34:05]  Did Andrew make one?
[00:34:07]  You're right.
[00:34:07]  Andrew, we've got Bob Dylan.
[00:34:09]  Do you just love singers who are out of key?

=== Smashing Pumpkins Political Spectrum (13:21) ===

[00:34:12]  Oh, wow.
[00:34:14]  How does it feel?
[00:34:15]  I like Bob Dylan for a lot of reasons.
[00:34:17]  Actually, the guy who married me is a guy named Don Williams, me and my wife.
[00:34:22]  A guy who married you?
[00:34:24]  Sorry, that did come out wrong.
[00:34:26]  The pastor who married my wife and I wrote a book about Bob Dylan and his Christian faith.
[00:34:32]  And so that sent me down a whole rabbit trail where I started listening to Bob Dylan songs.
[00:34:40]  So I became a really big Bob Dylan song, just lyrically.
[00:34:43]  Obviously, his voice was, you know.
[00:34:45]  Troubling.
[00:34:47]  It was not perfect.
[00:34:48]  By the way, and then I ended up dating a girl when I was, I don't know, like 25, I think.
[00:34:55]  And her family house was right next to where Bob Dylan's house was in.
[00:35:00]  Point Doom in Malibu.
[00:35:05]  And so it's very, anyway, I just got into Bob Dylan.
[00:35:07]  It's a long story.
[00:35:08]  Pearl Jam loved them.
[00:35:09]  So he loved Seattle band.
[00:35:11]  You love, so you have Bob Dylan.
[00:35:13]  So you like singers who are on the team.
[00:35:14]  I went to University of Washington.
[00:35:15]  And then you like Grunge.
[00:35:16]  Yeah, Pearl Jam is like the most left wing band on the planet.
[00:35:19]  Jimmy Eat World and then George Strait because I was like, give me some country in there because I listen to country and I know.
[00:35:26]  Which I, everything on the list, country was low IQ.
[00:35:30]  So I need to do.
[00:35:31]  Well, I guess I can't escape from having my list.
[00:35:33]  Although mine is definitely the toughest.
[00:35:35]  I was the one who like bit the bullet and just circled like the genre ones, which, yeah, like classic rock is the average.
[00:35:40]  I don't think I saw Queen.
[00:35:41]  Wait a minute.
[00:35:42]  I don't think I actually saw Queen on the list.
[00:35:44]  I might want to reverse that.
[00:35:45]  Probably because your musical choices are so dumb you can't read it.
[00:35:48]  Techno?
[00:35:49]  No, not techno.
[00:35:49]  So I listened to an absolute crapload of synth wave music.
[00:35:53]  You literally have like the same bands as me.
[00:35:55]  That's all the same bands as me.
[00:35:56]  Fantasy, like fake 80s music that they made.
[00:35:59]  And I listened to tons of that.
[00:36:00]  You could just circle classic rock.
[00:36:02]  That's.
[00:36:02]  But I did just circle classic rock.
[00:36:04]  That's.
[00:36:05]  Faking.
[00:36:05]  And then I had Metallica there.
[00:36:07]  I mean, overall, my choices are dumb, but luckily.
[00:36:09]  You like Green Day?
[00:36:11]  I didn't really like a lot of.
[00:36:12]  I really don't listen to a lot of these bands, which is why it's a good thing because I came out with, you know, frankly, let's just say the lowest IQ average on this.
[00:36:19]  What's funny is.
[00:36:20]  I like pretty dumb music.
[00:36:21]  Which is funny.
[00:36:22]  Green Day is probably the highest IQ average.
[00:36:23]  Hold on.
[00:36:24]  The thing is, they did just do an updated version of the study today that added one band.
[00:36:29]  Throw it up.
[00:36:29]  We have the number one actual list.
[00:36:32]  And come on.
[00:36:34]  Throw it up.
[00:36:35]  Throw it up.
[00:36:36]  You don't have it.
[00:36:37]  I sent it to you guys.
[00:36:38]  Oh.
[00:36:39]  You guys are killing me.
[00:36:41]  Well, I'm going to have to hold you guys in suspense and filibuster until they have it ready to go.
[00:36:45]  Big's top five are the lowest IQ of all.
[00:36:47]  They are, but there's a new number one IQ spot.
[00:36:51]  Isn't that weird, though, that you are kind of viewed as the smartest person here and you have the lowest IQ list?
[00:36:58]  I actually do genuinely kind of like slightly dumb music, I must say.
[00:37:03]  You like Beyonce?
[00:37:05]  Like, you probably do have the highest IQ of all of us.
[00:37:08]  That's probably the reason.
[00:37:09]  Okay, finally.
[00:37:09]  All right, they got it.
[00:37:10]  So, Breaking New Science came in, and actually, the highest IQ band by a long shot is Megadeth, featuring Dave Mustaine.
[00:37:20]  We have songs like Peace Sells, but Who's Buying?
[00:37:23]  We have Rust in Peace.
[00:37:25]  Can we get some Megadeth?
[00:37:26]  Yeah, do like Symphony of Destruction or Tornado of Souls or something.
[00:37:31]  Those are both good ones.
[00:37:33]  Insane, baby.
[00:37:35]  This is shocking stuff.
[00:37:36]  Yeah, so that's like by far all the way to the right.
[00:37:39]  It's to the right of Beethoven, even.
[00:37:41]  The highest IQ band.
[00:37:43]  Buy a Mile is Thrash Metal Pioneers.
[00:37:46]  Who did this study?
[00:37:50]  Yeah, okay, Blake is now doing air guitar.
[00:37:55]  Well, it's like there was a classic article in The Onion which pointed out humanity still producing new art as though Megadeth's Rust in Peace doesn't already exist.
[00:38:05]  Like, really, we could have stopped music.
[00:38:07]  Like, you guys are liking all these 90s bands.
[00:38:09]  Oh, I love Radiohead, I love Pearl Jam.
[00:38:12]  Here's what happened in 1990, Megadeth released Rust in Peace, it had Rust in Peace Polaris, Holy War is the Punishment due, Hangar 18.
[00:38:20]  Tornado of Souls, it had all of those on one album.
[00:38:24]  This feels we really didn't need any more music after that.
[00:38:26]  No, but Andrew, fairly self indulgent.
[00:38:28]  Did you know that?
[00:38:29]  Um, did you know that the that?
[00:38:31]  So, Dave Mustaine was from Megadeth, was the original guitarist of Metallica.
[00:38:35]  I didn't know that.
[00:38:37]  Yes, that's cool.
[00:38:38]  So, that is actually cool.
[00:38:39]  Specifically, if you listen to the um, their first album, uh, Kill 'em All, um, a lot of those like songs, the riffs, the solos, um, even though it's Kirk Hammett, I believe, who actually plays on the album, a lot of that was written by Dave Mustaine.
[00:38:54]  So Like the early Metallica stuff and Megadeth, like kind of have the same origin basically, but he was fired by Metallica.
[00:39:01]  Why?
[00:39:02]  Because he was kind of crazy.
[00:39:04]  Drinking?
[00:39:05]  Kind of crazy.
[00:39:06]  A lot of drinking.
[00:39:07]  Yeah.
[00:39:07]  I guess, why do bands break apart?
[00:39:09]  It's also why he's.
[00:39:10]  When Yoko Ono, I bet you know all the Yoko Ono lore.
[00:39:14]  Let's see, we've got it.
[00:39:15]  I do, but, you know, I think a lot of it's highly exaggerated, honestly.
[00:39:20]  Really do.
[00:39:21]  I think they were just burned out, man.
[00:39:23]  They went hard for like.
[00:39:25]  What was the Beatles' years?
[00:39:28]  It was 1960 to 1970.
[00:39:29]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:39:31]  I like that's a heck of a deck.
[00:39:34]  XY guy is responding Beethoven, Bach handle, put all of these lists to shame.
[00:39:40]  That's true.
[00:39:40]  And then he says, lead singer for Rush ain't no dummy.
[00:39:44]  But if he was a proper Rush fan, XY guy should be named YYZ guy.
[00:39:48]  So you should change your moniker, bro.
[00:39:50]  Did we have the updated my list?
[00:39:51]  I want to see what my numbers were compared to your average is probably somewhere around 10.
[00:39:57]  Counting crows brings me up high.
[00:40:00]  Because Counting Crows is 12, 14.
[00:40:01]  I love Rush.
[00:40:04]  I have never heard of something corporate in my life.
[00:40:09]  Oh my gosh, something corporate is incredible.
[00:40:11]  I've heard the name, but I couldn't tell you anything they do.
[00:40:15]  No, you know, you probably know that song.
[00:40:20]  Oh, I'm thinking Jack's Mannequin because it turned into Jack's Mannequin.
[00:40:24]  I've never heard of Jack's Mannequin either.
[00:40:26]  It was something corporate.
[00:40:27]  Chances are, if I've heard any of these bands, I'll only have heard them because they were on a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater soundtrack.
[00:40:32]  Were any of these guys on the Tony Hawk's pro skater soundtrack?
[00:40:34]  I don't know if any of these were.
[00:40:36]  I know someone who was.
[00:40:37]  Yellow card, my other.
[00:40:38]  Primus.
[00:40:39]  Jerry was a race car driver.
[00:40:40]  Yeah.
[00:40:42]  Hold on.
[00:40:43]  I don't know.
[00:40:43]  This is all like punk.
[00:40:44]  This is all punk emo.
[00:40:46]  Corporate.
[00:40:47]  Postal Service is very.
[00:40:48]  Where's Primus?
[00:40:49]  How come Primus isn't on the list?
[00:40:51]  Primus sucks.
[00:40:52]  And it really is a punk rock princess?
[00:40:54]  I picked, yeah, punk rock.
[00:40:56]  Oh, jeez.
[00:40:57]  Uh oh.
[00:40:57]  Oh.
[00:40:58]  Just blast me.
[00:40:58]  I'm going to be a punk rock princess.
[00:41:00]  Wait a minute.
[00:41:01]  Wait a minute.
[00:41:02]  GarageBandKing.
[00:41:04]  I'm getting hit by ads.
[00:41:05]  I was just trying to play.
[00:41:06]  I'm getting wrecked by ads.
[00:41:08]  Wait a minute.
[00:41:09]  Wait a minute.
[00:41:10]  Uh oh.
[00:41:11]  I woke up in a car.
[00:41:13]  I woke up in a car.
[00:41:14]  Uh oh.
[00:41:14]  I woke up in a car.
[00:41:17]  I don't recognize it.
[00:41:19]  All right.
[00:41:20]  You don't recognize that?
[00:41:21]  That's like California.
[00:41:22]  That's like California rock.
[00:41:23]  I didn't grow up in California.
[00:41:24]  Something corporate.
[00:41:25]  Yeah, I didn't grow up in California either.
[00:41:27]  More to the point, I have avoided California my entire life.
[00:41:29]  Yeah.
[00:41:31]  This is something corporate?
[00:41:32]  Yeah, something corporate.
[00:41:34]  This is great.
[00:41:34]  This is great music.
[00:41:37]  All of these bands sound the same.
[00:41:39]  It's like, I'm going to play on this podcast.
[00:41:42]  I'm going to complain.
[00:41:44]  It is not a little bit of a joke.
[00:41:45]  Actually, something corporate is actually what my wife and I did.
[00:41:49]  Dance to our song.
[00:41:52]  It's called Lurking.
[00:41:53]  I'm playing guitar right now.
[00:41:54]  This is the first.
[00:41:55]  It's actually my fretless acoustic bass.
[00:41:57]  Oh, fretless acoustic bass.
[00:41:59]  Fretless?
[00:42:00]  Yeah, it's kind of like out of tune, though.
[00:42:02]  Is that like a Guitar Hero controller?
[00:42:09]  So I have a theory about all these IQs.
[00:42:13]  I actually think it's more based off of the time tape.
[00:42:18]  So the more popular someone was in a certain era, probably made you more smart.
[00:42:27]  Go on.
[00:42:27]  So, some of that 90s music, like Pearl Jam was pretty up there, wasn't it?
[00:42:33]  Pearl Jam.
[00:42:36]  I would say it's the opposite.
[00:42:37]  I think that's a lagging indicator.
[00:42:39]  I think that a smarter population likes smarter music.
[00:42:43]  So, the popularity of dumb music getting better means you have more dumb people.
[00:42:49]  I think it could be a combination of both.
[00:42:52]  So, you have eras of smarter people.
[00:42:54]  Like, people were really stupid in the 60s.
[00:42:56]  I will say, like, People were stupid, but actually, the population was still closer to the traditional values, the things that made America great.
[00:43:06]  They had remnant smarts.
[00:43:10]  So, if you listen to the lyrics of classic rock or rock in the 60s, it was elevated more so.
[00:43:18]  It was more musically complex.
[00:43:19]  Do you know about that?
[00:43:20]  They had more key changes, more time signature changes.
[00:43:28]  There's more musical variety, there's more dynamic range.
[00:43:30]  Music that is quiet and then loud, it'll have a wider range.
[00:43:34]  For some reason, they compress all their music.
[00:43:36]  Music is very refined and simplified.
[00:43:39]  It's almost like it's actually kind of like what they do with drugs or fast food.
[00:43:43]  They figure out how to make it more addictive and catchy, yet as a result, it's extremely simplified and you don't get truly transcendent.
[00:43:50]  You're talking about now.
[00:43:50]  Yes, now.
[00:43:51]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:43:51]  Well, it's because it's the Walmartification of it's the big boxification of American music.
[00:43:58]  And it's going to be even worse because now we can write catchy pop beats with AI.
[00:44:02]  And there's already hit AI music on.
[00:44:05]  Spotify and all of that.
[00:44:06]  But I think eventually we're just going to, it's just going to be a matter of course that the pop star is just maybe going to be a brand and you'll have a lot of AI generated fluff for the songs on their albums.
[00:44:17]  Because who cares?
[00:44:18]  Like, I bet, I bet there's tons of AI going into K pop music right now.
[00:44:21]  But if you like Caboose, play to Blake's point, play the chain by Fleetwood Mac.
[00:44:29]  1977.
[00:44:30]  There's the dynamic range that you're talking about all over the place.
[00:44:33]  I think there's, I do think there is like sort of, Timing changes in it as well.
[00:44:39]  Like, if you compare The Chain by Fleetwood Mac, 1977.
[00:44:46]  Yeah, but.
[00:44:47]  I mean, we're not going to have time to listen to this.
[00:44:50]  It's a great song.
[00:44:51]  It's such a good song.
[00:44:52]  It is a good song.
[00:44:53]  I mean, great song.
[00:44:54]  But, like, okay.
[00:44:56]  So, but, like, and then you go to.
[00:45:03]  You had that quick, by the way, Caboose.
[00:45:05]  He's very good.
[00:45:05]  Okay, so, but then there's different parts of the song, is what I'm saying.
[00:45:11]  It's the complexity of that song will be anything modern music.
[00:45:15]  Well, that's like Bob Dylan, right?
[00:45:18]  That's why I picked Bob Dylan.
[00:45:19]  Yeah, that's like, I mean, but that actually supports the Bob Dylan theory on the.
[00:45:25]  I think Bob Dylan's like really smart music.
[00:45:27]  You know, what I would say is interesting.
[00:45:28]  There's lots of counterpoetry.
[00:45:30]  What I would say is interesting.
[00:45:30]  If you think of Bob Dylan's in the Trump Tower.
[00:45:33]  You think of the standard song, so many songs are basically verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, and then like the chorus again or something.
[00:45:42]  When you think of the songs that are most likely to top a list of the absolute best songs in rock history or musical history, have you ever noticed almost none of them seem to actually follow that format?
[00:45:53]  So I remember growing up.
[00:45:55]  Between.
[00:45:55]  Well, so yeah, exactly.
[00:45:56]  Bohemian Rhapsody doesn't follow that.
[00:45:58]  Don't Stop Believing doesn't follow that.
[00:46:01]  Stairway to Heaven doesn't follow that.
[00:46:03]  All three of those are.
[00:46:04]  Irregular progressive songs, progressive in terms of they just change throughout.
[00:46:09]  I find that interesting.
[00:46:10]  You can't just say that, like, just because something breaks the mold, like, means it's going to be good or it's going to be popular.
[00:46:17]  Because, like, go look at, like, Tool, for example, like, nothing that Tool puts out, you know, fits that and has tons of time changes.
[00:46:25]  Danny Carey, you know, on drums, like, is known for time changes, but it, you know, that's not, like, quote unquote, super popular.
[00:46:32]  But Blake's point's actually a really good one because I, and I've never really thought about it this, some of my favorite.
[00:46:38]  Songs of my favorite artists are non traditional.
[00:46:42]  I haven't thought about this, but it's a really long one.
[00:46:44]  Like Jimmy World, one of my favorite songs ever is Good by Sky Harbor, and it follows, it's that same thing.
[00:46:52]  Something like Top Guns and Roses songs, November Ram has an irregular structure.
[00:46:55]  Hammers and Strings.
[00:46:56]  Sweet Child of Mine has an irregular structure.
[00:46:58]  No, the era.
[00:46:59]  My favorite song, thinking about American Pie, is still verse chorus.
[00:47:02]  It's just really long.
[00:47:04]  Some of my favorite songs ever have been totally irregular.
[00:47:06]  I mean, the fact that it's really long, though, breaks sort of like.
[00:47:09]  So, speaking of, I think it lends to longer songs, do follow that.
[00:47:14]  So, the irregularity creates longer songs because they have different.
[00:47:19]  Yeah, we've got a good flow to this.
[00:47:21]  So, to get into our third topic, so you mentioned, was something corporate your dance song at your wedding, or what was your first dance song?
[00:47:27]  Okay, so that was that.
[00:47:29]  What was your first dance song at your wedding?
[00:47:31]  Something corporate, Hurricane.
[00:47:33]  Acoustic, really.

=== Disney Adult Wedding Traditions (15:44) ===

[00:47:34]  Don't get me in trouble.
[00:47:36]  Oh, no.
[00:47:36]  Oh, no.
[00:47:38]  No, like, I think it was something like, so we had a great musical wedding.
[00:47:43]  I mean, we had great music.
[00:47:44]  We had a live band and all this stuff, but I think our first dance song was like pretty sappy.
[00:47:49]  That's fine.
[00:47:50]  I think it was pretty good.
[00:47:50]  Sappy's great.
[00:47:51]  Jason Mraz.
[00:47:52]  How about you, Jack?
[00:47:53]  What was your first dance song?
[00:47:54]  So you didn't pick it.
[00:47:55]  So we did like two.
[00:47:57]  We did like a slow song and a fast song.
[00:48:00]  Interesting.
[00:48:01]  So we did, and the slow song was Oh My Love by John Lennon.
[00:48:06]  And then the fast song was.
[00:48:10]  Wait, what's it actually called?
[00:48:11]  Like, Wake Me Up by Wham?
[00:48:13]  Oh, that's a great one.
[00:48:14]  Judah Bug.
[00:48:15]  I love that song.
[00:48:16]  Is that what it's called, Wake Me Up, right?
[00:48:18]  Yeah, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go.
[00:48:19]  Wake Me Up Before You Go Go.
[00:48:21]  I don't, of course, have one.
[00:48:22]  I do know my parents.
[00:48:23]  My parents was, May I Have This Stance for the Rest of My Life by whoever did that song Judah Bug.
[00:48:28]  So now that you're talking about weddings, we have to ask about the dirty underbelly.
[00:48:33]  We're going to the dirty underbelly of this, which is a story in the New York Times where the New York Times loves to write about trends that are.
[00:48:39]  Oh, wait, actually, it was People Mag.
[00:48:41]  Never mind.
[00:48:41]  I just like to be up in the New York Times.
[00:48:43]  Anyway.
[00:48:44]  So, what it is, is there is a new trend that they're profiling because they want it to happen, just like polyamory.
[00:48:51]  And it's women throwing wedding parties for themselves when they turn 40 when they are not actually getting married.
[00:48:58]  So, it's a fake wedding level blowout for turning 40.
[00:49:03]  And this trend is, if not sweeping America, it's at least sweeping the pages of People Magazine and sweeping your timeline on X to propagandize you.
[00:49:13]  To prove you don't need a partner to celebrate yourself.
[00:49:17]  Man.
[00:49:18]  What a no, so they're throwing like 40th birthday parties that are made to look like weddings.
[00:49:25]  Yes, that's what you're saying.
[00:49:28]  Yes, these women devoted themselves to like corporate ladder climbing, and so they may not have a partner, but they probably have enough money to throw a very extravagant, expensive party like a wedding.
[00:49:39]  I can't even picture this.
[00:49:40]  Can I see a video of this?
[00:49:42]  Do we have every day?
[00:49:44]  We have yes, I think we have God, they have this apparently.
[00:49:49]  Can I please see this?
[00:49:50]  Yes, I can.
[00:49:50]  Spiritual soul rot on display.
[00:49:53]  It's just like.
[00:49:54]  We actually have a lot, but I think people get on me for saying that we need, you know, I've never actually said that we need a new Franco, but man, you see stuff like this and it's like.
[00:50:05]  It's overtly pagan.
[00:50:06]  Legitimately.
[00:50:07]  Yeah, all right.
[00:50:07]  So we're told to start.
[00:50:08]  We have several clips.
[00:50:09]  Overtly pagan.
[00:50:10]  To let Tyler understand this, let's play clip five.
[00:50:13]  I can't even picture this.
[00:50:14]  This weekend, I'm throwing myself a wedding birthday.
[00:50:17]  It's my own wedding.
[00:50:19]  Sean's husband's.
[00:50:20]  At a manor in the British countryside for my 40th, you know, I never had a wedding, so I was like, how do I celebrate the biggest way possible?
[00:50:31]  I literally shut up.
[00:50:35]  Here's the itinerary.
[00:50:37]  Black tie, first night.
[00:50:38]  Everyone's wearing black.
[00:50:40]  And then I will be in a white gown.
[00:50:42]  Tablescape, very soft.
[00:50:43]  Something's up with me that she shouldn't be in white.
[00:50:45]  Red lights, pink dripping candles, figs, rain.
[00:50:49]  Yeah, that's not the only thing you can see.
[00:50:50]  We'll party in the living room like an aristocrat.
[00:50:52]  Next morning is Princess Diana-themed British Countryside Shooting Day.
[00:50:56]  Don't worry, we're just using clay.
[00:50:58]  Very Ralph Lauren.
[00:50:59]  Plus, it just rains all the time here.
[00:51:01]  So, finally, the birthday night.
[00:51:03]  Studio 54 vibe, glitter sequins, just over the top everything.
[00:51:11]  I really wait.
[00:51:12]  Why did it end with like a gay dance party at the end?
[00:51:15]  Like, uh, for all of her gay friends to show up at it, I guess.
[00:51:19]  Would it happen in a normal way?
[00:51:21]  I really genuinely don't know what to make of that.
[00:51:23]  Like, if you got invited to a party like that, do you go?
[00:51:29]  No, no, I wouldn't go.
[00:51:30]  I mean, listen, I mean, it just shows where we're at culturally, it just shows the you know, the lack of.
[00:51:35]  I mean, this.
[00:51:37]  I think we all know what Charlie would say about this.
[00:51:39]  You know, I mean, it just shows where we're at as a society.
[00:51:43]  And you would wish, and that people have this fulfillment that is being unmet, this desire that's being unmet because of their own choices, because they eschewed family and marriage and child rearing.
[00:51:59]  And yet they still want those feelings.
[00:52:02]  And so they've created for themselves this false reality.
[00:52:07]  Of it's like the participation trophy, right?
[00:52:09]  Like, you didn't actually achieve or commit to a wedding, which is supposed to be, you know, a union between two individuals in the sight of man and in the sight of God.
[00:52:20]  And instead, you are just two individuals to be specific.
[00:52:23]  Oh, yeah, obviously, yes.
[00:52:25]  But, you know, two souls is what I'm trying to say.
[00:52:28]  And the idea here is that it's like there's no unity, there's no union at the part of this other than like you and yourself, right?
[00:52:37]  Like, that's what this is.
[00:52:38]  You notice there's no like, There isn't even a boyfriend.
[00:52:41]  There isn't even a stand in for a husband here.
[00:52:43]  There's no sign of God at all.
[00:52:44]  It's all just a celebration of the self.
[00:52:46]  Well, that headline from People Magazine where it says, You don't need a partner to celebrate yourself.
[00:52:51]  Yeah.
[00:52:51]  And it turns out there was a New York Times one.
[00:52:53]  We had both.
[00:52:54]  The New York Times one is A Wedding Party, No Husband Required.
[00:52:58]  Yeah.
[00:52:58]  That is a.
[00:52:59]  So is it just this gal or is this a trend?
[00:53:02]  It's like that movie.
[00:53:04]  What's the housemaid, right?
[00:53:06]  Where it's just, it's anti marriage, it's anti husband, it's all this like hyper feminist.
[00:53:12]  Um, you know, Gaga that's just everywhere today.
[00:53:17]  And you know, it's like you don't need a man.
[00:53:20]  You could, like I said, you that you know, going back, where do we hear that?
[00:53:24]  You don't need a man.
[00:53:25]  Frozen, it was a Disney movie, it was a lesbian propaganda.
[00:53:28]  Let's make it about Frozen again.
[00:53:30]  Lesbian propaganda.
[00:53:32]  And here we go.
[00:53:33]  Here we go again.
[00:53:35]  All I know is that, um, there's something about this that I find a little bit, uh, like disrespectful.
[00:53:43]  It's almost sacrilegious because the wedding in white, as you mentioned, Jack, it's like it's something you do have to achieve, but just basically saying to the world, I don't have to achieve this to still wear white and be the center of attention and everybody's there for me, it's really narcissistic.
[00:54:00]  But it's self serving, but it's also just disrespectful to the institution of marriage.
[00:54:06]  It's everyone gets a trophy type stuff.
[00:54:08]  Well, it's sort of like it's just anti tradition.
[00:54:13]  It's like we feel so bad for you.
[00:54:16]  Or for ourselves, that we're just going to give ourselves the things that we feel like.
[00:54:21]  And again, it feels very similar to also like the Disney adult thing where it's like people living out.
[00:54:29]  Yeah, it does.
[00:54:29]  That's exactly right.
[00:54:30]  People, like, I don't know why that, like, this triggered that for me, but it's like people.
[00:54:34]  No, yeah, that's 100%.
[00:54:35]  It's the same wavelength.
[00:54:37]  The exact same wavelength.
[00:54:38]  They didn't get to do it when they were kids or whatever.
[00:54:41]  And so, like, now they're fulfilling out this, like, fantasy of, like, being a kid.
[00:54:47]  Because what is that, right?
[00:54:49]  That's the millennials with disposable income who haven't achieved those life wickets, those life benchmarks and milestones that you're supposed to hit by certain ages.
[00:54:59]  So, by that age, you typically do have children, and you are then starting to want to bring your kids to do family stuff, and yet you don't have that.
[00:55:11]  So, it's this infantilization, which, of course, Charlie also talked about the extended adolescence, where people don't leave it.
[00:55:19]  And so, it's like, We're going to infantilize ourselves and act like we're children and go to Disney by ourselves.
[00:55:25]  We have a great story about this.
[00:55:27]  So, the 40th birthday party is very similar where it's like you're doing something, and it's this fantasy of something that you should have probably done at an earlier time period in your life.
[00:55:37]  But we've got a great story.
[00:55:38]  And you're still omitting, just like Disney, like you don't have the kids with you, you're doing it.
[00:55:43]  It makes you feel good stroking something in your ego.
[00:55:46]  I haven't seen this clip, but I can tell it's going to be great.
[00:55:49]  And it's a broken generation.
[00:55:50]  It's just a broken generation.
[00:55:51]  Let's do number eight.
[00:55:53]  Okay, I'm about to walk down the aisle.
[00:55:56]  And this moment is for every little girl and every 20 something and every 30 something that waited their whole lives to get married.
[00:56:05]  And maybe it didn't work out.
[00:56:08]  And they still wanted to have this moment.
[00:56:10]  So it's my 40th birthday tonight.
[00:56:12]  And I decided to throw a wedding birthday in the British countryside in a manor.
[00:56:18]  It's this huge estate, it's straight out of downtown Abbey.
[00:56:20]  And I had this moment where I thought, I am the first woman.
[00:56:24]  In 300 years, that has rented this house for herself and celebrated herself.
[00:56:34]  I'm going to object in general.
[00:56:35]  One, probably not.
[00:56:36]  Two, you just shouldn't do a party to celebrate yourself.
[00:56:41]  I think in general.
[00:56:42]  I think it's self indulgent.
[00:56:44]  I would say, even if she was married and everything, I think it would be incredibly self indulgent to just throw a party for yourself turning 40 or 50.
[00:56:53]  I think ideally you'd have a spouse and they would organize it and throw it for you.
[00:56:57]  Or it could be your friends would do it.
[00:56:59]  There's ways to do it.
[00:57:00]  But in general, you should not throw parties that are just, I am awesome.
[00:57:03]  I just like, I miss.
[00:57:06]  Like an ethic, a value system in which people just get old and they don't make it about themselves.
[00:57:11]  Like old people acting old.
[00:57:13]  Yeah.
[00:57:14]  Like just do something more conventional.
[00:57:18]  And it's so refreshing now when you just see like old people becoming adults and then they like think about the image we have of grannies, you know, loving Grammys and you know, still live on a farm.
[00:57:28]  They're making.
[00:57:29]  I was thinking about this the other day.
[00:57:29]  Think about how that's all going to vanish when your 75 year old grandma has tattoos and fake boobs and like social media posts that are still out there of her being a bad girl at 22.
[00:57:39]  Seriously.
[00:57:40]  I was thinking about this the other day.
[00:57:41]  So, when I was a kid, when we were all kids, think about your grandma.
[00:57:44]  They had like bobbed hair.
[00:57:45]  Like, some of them dyed them, some of it was just gray.
[00:57:48]  And, like, those women that are now that age now, they've got like long hair.
[00:57:53]  It's dyed.
[00:57:54]  They've got work done.
[00:57:55]  They're like trying to look as young as possible.
[00:57:58]  Our grannies, like, literally just look like old ladies.
[00:58:02]  And it was great.
[00:58:03]  That's like the Golden Girls thing is like they were in their 40s and they look like, literally, like, oh, this is sexy.
[00:58:10]  I am noticing.
[00:58:10]  The Golden Girls are like literally in their late 40s and some of those.
[00:58:14]  Those ladies, and they're like, we thought they were like, is that true?
[00:58:19]  Yeah.
[00:58:19]  Okay.
[00:58:20]  So, okay.
[00:58:21]  The characters were in their 50s and 80s.
[00:58:24]  Blanche was roughly 53.
[00:58:26]  Dorothy and Rose were 55.
[00:58:27]  And Sophia was 79.
[00:58:28]  Oh, wow.
[00:58:29]  Which one was Sophia?
[00:58:30]  Oh, was Sophia the like really, really old one?
[00:58:32]  Yeah.
[00:58:33]  Yeah.
[00:58:33]  Man.
[00:58:33]  Sounds like the mom.
[00:58:34]  But she wasn't that old.
[00:58:35]  But you know what I was thinking about with this whole thing is like how offensive it also is to the women who don't do this, right?
[00:58:42]  Like they have enough self respect that's like, Wait, speaking of Golden Girls, we have to say the great connection.
[00:58:50]  So, do you know who the son of the creator of the Golden Girls is?
[00:58:57]  Scott Adams?
[00:58:59]  Close, actually.
[00:58:59]  It's not Scott Adams.
[00:59:00]  No, it's Sam Harris.
[00:59:02]  Oh, really?
[00:59:02]  No.
[00:59:03]  Okay.
[00:59:04]  Interesting.
[00:59:05]  Wait, I want to finish my thought on this, though.
[00:59:08]  The women who look at this, and it actually, I think this is part of the mental illness that makes women feel bad on social media.
[00:59:17]  So you have one woman throwing herself a birthday party that is meant to replicate a wedding.
[00:59:23]  There's plenty of women out there that are unmarried for, Maybe it's not their own choice.
[00:59:28]  Maybe they just, I mean, I know lots of people, good people.
[00:59:30]  Yeah, couldn't find the right guy.
[00:59:31]  Couldn't find the right guy, whatever.
[00:59:32]  I feel really bad for them.
[00:59:34]  But that person seeing another person do something like this, I feel like makes it worse for all those people.
[00:59:42]  I don't like to me, it's like, and this is like, this is the same thing with the social media generation.
[00:59:47]  This is like the Disney adult thing.
[00:59:49]  This is about like people who do the perfect vacation thing that they put on social media, even though you know that's probably not true.
[01:00:00]  Or the perfect house thing, or whatever.
[01:00:03]  Like, do you remember?
[01:00:04]  Do you remember Hanksgiving?
[01:00:06]  Remember, we did that a while back.
[01:00:07]  It was the Hanksgiving that they all had together.
[01:00:09]  It was like Thanksgiving, but it's Tom Hanks.
[01:00:12]  Yeah.
[01:00:13]  The same thing.
[01:00:14]  But it's just like, it just, like, to me, it's just like, I don't think it helps society in general, like doing these things.
[01:00:20]  And again, it's a free country, like, do whatever you want.
[01:00:23]  But like, like, there's a bunch of women who follow this woman.
[01:00:26]  She's probably got friends.
[01:00:27]  She probably has a social media following.
[01:00:29]  That's part of the reason why she's doing this.
[01:00:31]  You know that it's this whole like, it's this whole uh trend.
[01:00:34]  You see it with like, shout your abortion, right where there's actually shame over something and they're trying to reclaim something that makes them feel shameful to like, be like, I'm just gonna buck the trend and screw the tradition and and I'm gonna, I'm gonna be loud and proud even in my shame.
[01:00:47]  That's a perfect transition target.
[01:00:49]  What if one of them does a like wedding level $80,000 party for their abortion?
[01:00:55]  That's pretty sick, that'd be.
[01:00:57]  I bet it's happened actually because, because they you got to understand like, the human condition We have, we sin and therefore we have shame.
[01:01:05]  And if you don't, if you're not a Christian, there's no, there's no mechanism to get rid of that shame.
[01:01:10]  And so you try and invent human celebrations or institutions to remove that shame from yourself.
[01:01:16]  So that's all this is, actually.
[01:01:18]  It was interesting.
[01:01:19]  I was having this back and forth.
[01:01:20]  Uh, Jack, you know Lisa Booth, right?
[01:01:23]  Uh, she's Fox News.
[01:01:25]  So she was kind of, she went on this whole thing about saying that the problem with the right is that we make marriage and family feel like obligatory.
[01:01:32]  So if you are not that, you, you, You feel ashamed, or you feel like you're out of the club.
[01:01:37]  And if on the left, they demonize marriage and abortion.
[01:01:41]  So they don't, her point was that there's a bunch of women that don't feel like they belong to either camp when it comes to this issue.
[01:01:49]  And then, but like, I think that there's a lot of people that have kids that feel like by the liberal progressive society, they have to feel ashamed or they have to hide their joy or hide their kids or hide all the good things about their family because there's so many women in culture that aren't experiencing this.
[01:02:05]  And so, I don't know what the answer is exactly, but to me, it's like if we don't lift up the ideal, you're going to have a bunch of people like this 40 year old crazy lady that goes, flies over and spends $100,000 on a fake wedding for herself.
[01:02:19]  Yeah, no, that's exactly right.
[01:02:21]  And it's like, Again, I mean, this, I'll like defer to the man himself, but CK used to talk about this a lot.
[01:02:29]  He said it's not about like forcing anyone to make any one decision or another.
[01:02:34]  It's just talking about what is the greater societal good.
[01:02:39]  And we see through study after study that marriage, two parent households, that with the mom and a dad are always the best outcomes for society.
[01:02:50]  And so if our government or our political movements are going to push for certain things, We should always push for the things that we know are the most beneficial pro social things.
[01:03:01]  Oh, I have a general goal, that doesn't mean it's like every person has to fit.
[01:03:06]  I have a Catholic question for you on that kind of same thought Does the Catholic Church have a strong position on surrogacy?
[01:03:13]  Like, they don't like it, and sir, I mean, I can't imagine they're for it.
[01:03:17]  I would have to, yeah, I could not.

=== Catholic Church Surrogacy Stance (03:48) ===

[01:03:18]  It's not okay.
[01:03:18]  Catholics don't even like IVF either.
[01:03:21]  Do they have a position?
[01:03:22]  Yeah, Catholics are against IVF to begin with, so they would have.
[01:03:26]  They would have a strong position on like a gay couple adopting a kid too.
[01:03:29]  Oh, 100% against.
[01:03:31]  Because they're against every level.
[01:03:32]  Yeah, just double check.
[01:03:34]  I didn't want to like speak out of turn, but yes, the Catholic Church strictly opposes all forms of surrogacy.
[01:03:39]  I feel it as a grave violation of human dignity, the integrity of marriage, and the procreation process.
[01:03:44]  I feel the same.
[01:03:45]  I get really weirded out with surrogacy and I can't like, and I, it's like one of those things where you're like, because it's like buying a child.
[01:03:52]  Yeah, it's weird.
[01:03:53]  There's something weird about like renting a womb.
[01:03:56]  I just find it weird.
[01:03:57]  I mean, with IVF, the biggest objection is that you basically make 10 human lives and throw 9 of them away.
[01:04:02]  Right, you give them away.
[01:04:03]  A bunch of them.
[01:04:04]  The church would still dislike it.
[01:04:05]  I remember the first program in 2024.
[01:04:06]  I remember that.
[01:04:07]  The church would still dislike it if you could just make one because they don't like the means.
[01:04:12]  What if you were like, hey, we're going to implant 10 embryos, fertilized embryos, and if you have 10, you have to keep all of them?
[01:04:23]  What if you commit as a good Catholic to saying, I'm going to take all of them?
[01:04:26]  It's less bad because you're not throwing lives away intentionally.
[01:04:29]  They still don't like it.
[01:04:30]  The The church's position is quite trash, where basically you should only have kids by the proper natural method.
[01:04:37]  The old school way.
[01:04:37]  Yes.
[01:04:38]  They're still okay with adoption, but I think part of the theory with that is that there's so much.
[01:04:47]  Isn't it just like the holiness of the system that God gave us and playing God with these things?
[01:04:56]  It's kind of viewed as playing God with these things.
[01:04:57]  Well, and it's also, so that's part of it too, but it's also about how the church has always.
[01:05:04]  That the procreative act should take place within the confines of marriage, that the point of marriage is procreation and children and that act of the bringing together of the mother and the father through marriage and through procreation.
[01:05:20]  And so, whenever you're, you know, abrogating that process somehow or, or, or, you know, sidestepping it or whatever it may be.
[01:05:29]  So, you're telling me, Jack, you could have a 40th birthday party, pretend to get married and then have a kid without ever having sex?
[01:05:37]  Wow.
[01:05:39]  That is the liberal way.
[01:05:42]  That is the sex in the city way.
[01:05:43]  You will own nothing.
[01:05:44]  Before we abandon this topic, I'm looking at the New York Times article and there's something very funny I see, which they talk to some woman who does consulting for these wedding style 40th birthday parties.
[01:05:54]  Oh, so this is a trend.
[01:05:54]  It's not just her.
[01:05:55]  Yes, yes.
[01:05:56]  There's a consultant who does this.
[01:05:57]  This is a real thing.
[01:05:58]  And she says the planning process is more streamlined than a wedding.
[01:06:02]  And such events generally cost just 10 to 30% of a typical wedding budget.
[01:06:08]  So hear me out.
[01:06:09]  Here's an idea.
[01:06:11]  You're planning to get married.
[01:06:13]  But you tell them it's either a 40th birthday fake wedding or a divorce party.
[01:06:19]  Get all the stuff for wedding related things, but you get it cheaper because you didn't say the W word that doubles the price of everything.
[01:06:26]  And then BAMO switcheroo, you have a clergyman there and you bring a guy.
[01:06:34]  You bring a guy.
[01:06:35]  Do you want to know?
[01:06:36]  It's weird.
[01:06:37]  I don't know why this didn't make it to Thought Corner.
[01:06:39]  What if you accidentally.
[01:06:40]  Wait, wait, wait.
[01:06:40]  No, but can I. You know what's funny?
[01:06:43]  No, I was going to say, you know what'd be funny is what if you're having one of these fake marriage parties, but you hire the guy, right?
[01:06:49]  But it turns out the guy's actually ordained in the state that you're having the party in, and you accidentally get actually married at the fake marriage party.
[01:06:59]  And you're like, wait a minute.
[01:07:00]  That sounds like a terrible 90s movie.
[01:07:02]  I was going to say, it sounds like a rom com.
[01:07:04]  It sounds like Jason Bateman in this.

=== HIV Antibiotic Resistance Debate (04:56) ===

[01:07:07]  It's getting recently convoluted, and for some dumb reason, they are required to also live together for a while.
[01:07:13]  Okay, hold on.
[01:07:14]  I have to take this.
[01:07:16]  I have a really important point.
[01:07:18]  I'm sure.
[01:07:19]  And I'm sorry to offend all the women that I'm saying right now.
[01:07:23]  But no man would ever do this.
[01:07:24]  No, of course not.
[01:07:26]  Oh, wait, a gay man would.
[01:07:27]  Okay.
[01:07:28]  Okay.
[01:07:28]  Well, no, no straight man.
[01:07:30]  Maybe a different type of party.
[01:07:32]  Yeah.
[01:07:32]  I mean, speaking of which, did you know this?
[01:07:35]  But this is like, but that's also, it's like, what's feeding the egos of women in America today?
[01:07:41]  Where they like.
[01:07:42]  Feminism.
[01:07:42]  It's the feminism, it's social media.
[01:07:44]  Boss, babe.
[01:07:46]  You can have it all, even if you don't have it all.
[01:07:48]  Hey, So, did you guys know that Minneapolis is thinking about bringing back bathhouses for the first time after a nearly 40 year ban?
[01:07:57]  Oh, you really wanted to get into this.
[01:07:59]  No, I mean, well, it kind of made me think about it when we started talking about gay couples doing adoptions.
[01:08:05]  Okay, so just to put this in perspective, they believe in unlimited Muslims, unlimited Somali fraud pirate people, bathhouses.
[01:08:14]  And bathhouses.
[01:08:15]  Like Minneapolis, and it's like George Floyd, and it's really.
[01:08:18]  They really are our most Canadian city.
[01:08:20]  Minneapolis.
[01:08:21]  They are the most Canadian city in the world.
[01:08:23]  In the country.
[01:08:27]  There's a lot going on.
[01:08:28]  Adult bathhouses were a component of nightlife prior to the advent of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s, which led to the passage of numerous ordinances banning them among virtually all U.S. urban areas.
[01:08:40]  Imagine that.
[01:08:42]  Yeah.
[01:08:42]  In 1988, Minneapolis passed an ordinance to ban bathhouses.
[01:08:46]  There were three bathhouses that existed in the city Hennepin Baths, Locker Room Baths, and Big Daddy's Bathhouse.
[01:08:53]  Big Daddy's Bathhouse.
[01:08:55]  All of them closed prior to the blame.
[01:08:56]  To the band Locker Room Baths was known as the 315 Health Club at the time of closure.
[01:09:02]  Why were they banned after the first positive HIV test in Minneapolis in 1982?
[01:09:08]  Concern grew about the spread of the virus.
[01:09:10]  So, um, wait, so, so let me let me get this straight.
[01:09:13]  So, bathhouses were pretty much the only place you could go because it was so, yeah, they it was gay men just had sexual encounters at the bath, but gay, but being gay back in those days was like it was very taboo, like by culture, cultural standards.
[01:09:31]  Part of the reason why bathhouses existed was because it was so taboo within the community to just go be gay in public.
[01:09:37]  Well, this is, yeah.
[01:09:39]  Here's why they had those.
[01:09:40]  Well, I think it's part of it.
[01:09:41]  I mean, I think it's a part of it where you met men.
[01:09:44]  Yeah, well, like men would meet men.
[01:09:46]  And then also they would have those parties and they would have sex with them five minutes after meeting them.
[01:09:50]  Sure.
[01:09:51]  That's kind of a distinctive behavior.
[01:09:52]  Well, that's true.
[01:09:53]  But that's also pretty common in the gay community.
[01:09:57]  But they just meet and hook up, and it's a big hookup culture.
[01:10:01]  But here's my question is because they have so many immigrants coming to Minneapolis, is that the reason why they're reintroducing bathhouses?
[01:10:11]  Because it's so taboo within these immigrant cultures to be gay that they need the bathhouses?
[01:10:19]  I don't know.
[01:10:19]  I think it's just they're going so far left, and like HIV is not the fear that it once was, right?
[01:10:27]  Although, you know, then it's going to be monkeypox.
[01:10:30]  It's just going to be the new thing.
[01:10:32]  Just to make sure people get angry, did you know that the A lot of doctors, so do you guys know about antibiotic resistance?
[01:10:37]  Yeah, like we're not supposed to just take antibiotics all the time because they're really serious things resistant to them, and then we're going to get new super bugs, and that's why we have TB that resists it.
[01:10:46]  Did you know that a lot of doctors will just kind of put Gay men on antibiotics, just a regular dose of them, like it's taking a daily aspirin.
[01:10:57]  Because they're prone to getting a lot of diseases, and we wouldn't want them to get diseases.
[01:11:01]  So we'll just chip away at our antibiotic resistance so they can keep going to clubs.
[01:11:05]  Another thing did you know that the federal government will find gay prostitute drug addicts and stuff who are at high risk of contracting HIV and will give them free PrEP, which is the AIDS kind of HIV prophylactic, keeps it from developing into AIDS, which costs many thousands of dollars a year to take.
[01:11:24]  I think a few years ago it was like $35,000 a year or so, but it's probably less by now.
[01:11:29]  Does it make it so you don't contract it?
[01:11:33]  It makes it harder to contract it, but it also, even if you have it, it kind of keeps it a manageable chronic condition instead of a death sentence.
[01:11:41]  But they will just find people vulnerable to this, and the federal government will pay that many thousands of dollars to give it to them for free.
[01:11:47]  The federal government is still doing this?
[01:11:53]  Yes.
[01:11:53]  Wow.
[01:11:53]  It's like that California law where.
[01:11:57]  It's like no longer a crime or something that's downgraded if you knowingly spread HIV.

=== Russian Hot Springs Culture (02:16) ===

[01:12:03]  There's so many analogies to things that happen in Lord of the Rings with that.
[01:12:12]  Ready, Set, Prep is a federal program that provides pre exposure prophylaxis medication at no cost to individuals without prescription drug coverage.
[01:12:19]  So these guys are just like man whores.
[01:12:21]  Taking advantage.
[01:12:22]  Yes.
[01:12:22]  And they get paid by the federal government.
[01:12:24]  Yes.
[01:12:25]  Jeez Louise.
[01:12:28]  Does President Trump know about this?
[01:12:30]  Actually, he's like weirdly pro gay.
[01:12:33]  The government frogs.
[01:12:35]  He's a New York City guy.
[01:12:37]  I love this article I was reading, by the way.
[01:12:38]  It says adult bathhouses are community spaces historically frequented by gay men where people could also engage in sexual activity or relax after going out to the bars.
[01:12:47]  Or relax.
[01:12:49]  Have you guys ever been to a bathhouse?
[01:12:50]  Just chill.
[01:12:51]  Chill with the bros.
[01:12:52]  Thank God.
[01:12:52]  I mean, I think I'm in the bathhouse.
[01:12:54]  Is there a difference, Jack, between like a European bathhouse and a European bathhouse?
[01:12:58]  Was it in Eastern Europe, Jack?
[01:13:01]  It was in Hungary.
[01:13:02]  Yeah.
[01:13:02]  Yeah.
[01:13:02]  It's different.
[01:13:03]  I guess technically like Central Europe.
[01:13:05]  So I've been to a bathhouse in Budapest.
[01:13:07]  Yeah, but isn't it different in the culture surrounding it?
[01:13:10]  Is it different or is it the same?
[01:13:12]  It depends.
[01:13:13]  Some are gay stuff and some are.
[01:13:16]  I mean, this is like when you go to Budapest, like bathhouses and, you know, the.
[01:13:22]  It's like a hot spring.
[01:13:23]  Yeah.
[01:13:24]  It's like a hot spring thing.
[01:13:25]  So like you go in and it's, you know, it's co ed.
[01:13:28]  So like I went with Tanya and it's, I don't know, it was kind of like going to like a community pool, but it was in like a.
[01:13:34]  Yeah.
[01:13:35]  You know, it's like a hot springs kind of deal.
[01:13:37]  So, like, they have that.
[01:13:38]  They have it in Idaho as well.
[01:13:39]  They have like hot springs you can just go to.
[01:13:42]  The coolest one.
[01:13:43]  Do you know the phrase in Russian, Jack, that they say for the bathhouses?
[01:13:46]  No.
[01:13:47]  Slochim Param.
[01:13:50]  Sloheem Potom.
[01:13:51]  What is it?
[01:13:53]  It basically translates to like have an easy steam or have a nice steam.
[01:13:58]  Okay.
[01:13:58]  Oh.
[01:13:59]  It's getting weird.
[01:14:00]  There's a doctor I make.
[01:14:02]  So you say that to people when they're going to the bathhouse that you say, Sloheem Potom.
[01:14:06]  It's considered having a good, yeah, good part of the world.
[01:14:08]  The coolest thing, since he does mention it, in Budapest, they do have a giant bathhouse.
[01:14:12]  It's the Sessiony bathhouse.
[01:14:13]  And it's like, it's from the 1800s.
[01:14:15]  So it's this big palace, you know, with Belle Epoque architecture.
[01:14:18]  You should bring it, get a picture of it.

=== Thug Culture Single Parenting (11:21) ===

[01:14:20]  And.
[01:14:21]  What's cool about it, especially, I went to Budapest in February, so it was cold out, but it is a mineral bath.
[01:14:29]  And so.
[01:14:30]  Is that the one that's like the out?
[01:14:31]  Like, is that the one that has a big outdoor pool?
[01:14:33]  And so if it's cold, it's still open.
[01:14:35]  Yeah, you didn't go to Budapest, but I know what you're talking about.
[01:14:37]  It's still 105 degrees or whatever the temperature is of a hot spring.
[01:14:41]  And it's just steaming like crazy the whole time because it's cold out and just spraying it out of everything.
[01:14:46]  It's like a resort in the Bahamas or something.
[01:14:49]  It's more of like a, again, that culture of Eastern Europe is it's more of like a public.
[01:14:53]  Pool, yeah, this is not this doesn't seem it's more like public pools and like and and it's almost like okay, it's almost like a hot spring.
[01:15:01]  Hold on, I we have to transition even though this is uh this has been weird, but we have to try something.
[01:15:10]  This could be awful, so we apologize in advance, but we're gonna try something new here because we want to bring you guys into the culture of the office actually.
[01:15:20]  And Blake often comes up with random, bizarre, obscene, would you rather's.
[01:15:26]  Oh dear.
[01:15:28]  He does.
[01:15:29]  It's true.
[01:15:33]  Don't look surprised.
[01:15:34]  I don't even know what this is.
[01:15:35]  This is an AI generated TV show.
[01:15:36]  I'm deeply concerned.
[01:15:37]  I'm deeply concerned.
[01:15:38]  I'm just like a 50s episode show.
[01:15:40]  So, would you rather, Blake, give us some would you rather?
[01:15:44]  You know, I have one I'm just making up off the fly.
[01:15:46]  Would you rather go to one of those newly opened Minneapolis bathhouses and you don't have to do anything?
[01:15:51]  You can just kind of sit there, but you have to sit there for the whole evening.
[01:15:55]  Or go to.
[01:15:57]  One of these 40 year old single woman weddings.
[01:16:01]  I'm going to go to the 40 year old single.
[01:16:03]  What if it's really sad?
[01:16:04]  What if she's like insanely unwell and desperate?
[01:16:07]  Going to the wedding.
[01:16:07]  I'm going to the wedding.
[01:16:08]  I'd like anything to avoid.
[01:16:10]  It's not even exciting at heart, but there's probably free food at the wedding, so that is a good point.
[01:16:13]  Yeah, that's a good point.
[01:16:14]  Blake's weak spot is for you.
[01:16:16]  All right, all right.
[01:16:16]  So, yeah, that was a good point.
[01:16:17]  Come on, that was not that good.
[01:16:18]  That was a weak one.
[01:16:19]  That was a weak one.
[01:16:20]  So, we actually had, there's kind of that classic one people have asked that's like, would you rather have a gay son or like a kind of thought daughter?
[01:16:27]  But I thought of a kind of, we developed that into a more interesting one, I think.
[01:16:33]  Would you rather have a sort of loose daughter or a loser son?
[01:16:39]  Like they're a big time loser, don't have a job, can't.
[01:16:43]  Does my daughter grow out of it eventually?
[01:16:46]  We can't speak to that.
[01:16:49]  I would say that's a loser behavior for both, by the way.
[01:16:51]  It 100% is.
[01:16:52]  So, would you rather?
[01:16:53]  I would say.
[01:16:56]  Gosh, that is hard, actually.
[01:16:58]  I would say probably the daughter because I'm going to take her to church and try and help her.
[01:17:04]  She never gets better, though.
[01:17:07]  She never thinks so.
[01:17:08]  She starts influencing others.
[01:17:10]  Jack doesn't have.
[01:17:12]  She leads people at church astray.
[01:17:13]  She has an affair with the pastor.
[01:17:15]  So, he's going to pick the daughter because it's like my personal.
[01:17:17]  No, I would actually say lose her son.
[01:17:19]  I would actually say lose her son because I feel like.
[01:17:22]  I feel like that'd be easier to fix than having a thought daughter.
[01:17:26]  It never gets better, though, Jack.
[01:17:27]  You just have to live with a loser son or a.
[01:17:30]  No, you didn't say that.
[01:17:31]  You didn't stipulate it never gets better.
[01:17:33]  I said I couldn't speak to that.
[01:17:35]  Would you rather have a Canadian daughter or a.
[01:17:39]  I don't know where I'm going with this average.
[01:17:41]  I just wanted to make fun of Canada.
[01:17:43]  I'm just thinking about the.
[01:17:44]  What was it?
[01:17:44]  The WWIGGV.
[01:17:46]  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:17:48]  Gosh, okay.
[01:17:49]  MMI.
[01:17:50]  We can worry about that one later.
[01:17:51]  No, so we got to split the chat.
[01:17:53]  Someone in the chat says they would take the loser son.
[01:17:57]  Someone says, I was the loser son.
[01:17:59]  Okay, so that's a good point towards getting better.
[01:18:01]  See, you can get better, but Tyler looked at me and goes, It never gets better.
[01:18:06]  All right, all right.
[01:18:07]  Look, the loser son, the fail son can be fixed.
[01:18:10]  I mean, look at Tyler.
[01:18:11]  Like, he's come so far.
[01:18:13]  Totally.
[01:18:13]  A related one.
[01:18:14]  And this one I think is really interesting.
[01:18:17]  Would you rather have your daughter marry a Muslim, but it's like a totally normal marriage?
[01:18:22]  They have their kids in wedlock, all of that, but she is married to a Muslim man, or pump and dump trashy single mom, you know, three kids, three different dads?
[01:18:33]  What your daughter is, yeah.
[01:18:34]  This is your daughter, and both of them, and one of them, or we don't even need to say three, it could just be what's like she's just she gets knocked up and abandoned by the dad, baby daddies, or even just one.
[01:18:44]  She gets knocked up and abandoned by the dad, and she's a single mom, or marries a guy and has kids normally, but is a Muslim practicing Muslim, yes, yeah.
[01:18:53]  Avid Muslim goes to a Muslim, you go first on this one.
[01:18:56]  Oh man, uh, uh, uh, is she a good advantage?
[01:19:04]  I'll say, I'll say, I'll say, in this, in my case, because.
[01:19:08]  I feel like the gender doesn't matter on this one.
[01:19:10]  You could say like son and then, you know, multiple women or, you know, Muslim girl.
[01:19:14]  It definitely makes it worse if it's like a woman.
[01:19:16]  I mean, it makes it, it makes it worse, obviously.
[01:19:21]  So wait, in this sense, are the single, are they all Christian, the single relationships or whatever?
[01:19:29]  Well, I would say, I would say if she's the single mom, you can assume she is either, yeah, she's either Christian but not following the rule as well or maybe non religious.
[01:19:38]  But the other, she's, She is converting to Islam in the early 90s.
[01:19:41]  Oh, she's converting to Islam?
[01:19:42]  Oh, then I'll do the singles every time.
[01:19:45]  Singles.
[01:19:45]  All right.
[01:19:46]  Or at least, would it make a difference if she wasn't Muslim, but he did raise the kids Muslim?
[01:19:51]  Still single.
[01:19:52]  Yeah.
[01:19:53]  I think I definitely got to go for that one.
[01:19:56]  Didn't you have a Byron Gnome one?
[01:19:59]  Oh, man.
[01:20:00]  What was that?
[01:20:00]  Oh, I guess.
[01:20:02]  Is that not the first one?
[01:20:02]  I can't remember what the Brian Gnome one was.
[01:20:05]  It was a good one.
[01:20:05]  Anyways, this is.
[01:20:07]  I don't know if.
[01:20:08]  Do you guys want us to keep doing?
[01:20:09]  Would you rather.
[01:20:10]  I can do a weirder one.
[01:20:11]  I can do a weirder one.
[01:20:12]  No, would you rather is a good.
[01:20:13]  In fact, what we should do is we should open the Would You Rathers up to like the Rumble Rants.
[01:20:18]  And so, what we should do going forward is have people like when we start the.
[01:20:25]  Send your best Would You Rathers.
[01:20:26]  Yes.
[01:20:27]  You know, send us your Would You Rathers.
[01:20:29]  And then in the last segment, we'll, you know, we'll do them.
[01:20:32]  We've done a lot of musical themed ones.
[01:20:34]  So I do want to do one on that front because we talked about this.
[01:20:37]  Would you rather.
[01:20:37]  See how he does this?
[01:20:38]  Would you rather get a new album from your all time favorite band?
[01:20:43]  And just for the hypothetical, it comes out.
[01:20:46]  At the peak of their quality from your point of view, and it's a 10 out of 10 album.
[01:20:50]  So it's new content.
[01:20:51]  Yeah, so yeah, it's new.
[01:20:52]  So, like, let's say your favorite band was Guns N' Roses.
[01:20:54]  It comes out in 1989, and it's 10 out of 10, and it's 12 new songs that are as good as any Guns N' Roses songs ever.
[01:21:02]  Or just get rid of your least favorite genre of music completely.
[01:21:06]  So, like, rap disappears forever.
[01:21:08]  I would definitely get rid of the worst genre.
[01:21:10]  You would get rid of the worst.
[01:21:11]  You don't need to listen to the worst genre.
[01:21:13]  Yeah, but it's terrible for culture.
[01:21:15]  There's so many bad genres, though, that it's like just getting rid of one doesn't really.
[01:21:19]  Yeah, like you might get rid of rap and then we just get the, you know, it's all RB everywhere or something.
[01:21:23]  RB is actually great.
[01:21:26]  I'll take RB over rap.
[01:21:27]  RB is phenomenal.
[01:21:29]  I would take rap over RB any day of the week.
[01:21:31]  No way.
[01:21:32]  Yeah.
[01:21:32]  Rap.
[01:21:33]  Well, I'm thinking like gangster rap.
[01:21:35]  I'm thinking like thug culture.
[01:21:36]  Drill rap.
[01:21:37]  What if it was only like subgenre?
[01:21:38]  So you could not get rid of all rap, but maybe only gangster rap or drill rap or something.
[01:21:43]  Canadian, MMI2LGBTQIA, or whatever it is, daughter or AOC daughter.
[01:21:50]  That's the same thing.
[01:21:51]  Thing that is the same thing, ABC daughter.
[01:21:58]  It's not even hard.
[01:21:59]  I mean, she's a congresswoman.
[01:22:01]  She's a congresswoman.
[01:22:03]  Yeah.
[01:22:04]  So, I mean, it's not like.
[01:22:05]  Oh, you'd get over it if your lib daughter became the president.
[01:22:09]  I mean, that is.
[01:22:10]  You'd be like, oh, this is so great.
[01:22:11]  I'm so proud of my daughter who joined Congress and ran for president to pursue evil.
[01:22:16]  Dang.
[01:22:17]  Ludicrousness, one.
[01:22:19]  It's a deeper question than you probably intended.
[01:22:23]  Yeah, I don't know.
[01:22:25]  I'm going to vote against having a Canadian daughter in general.
[01:22:28]  It would be funny to say, what about like, what if you switch it up and you say, okay, this doesn't really make sense, but like, what a conservative child who is not successful, but a liberal child who is successful at like liberal politics?
[01:22:46]  I'm going to go conservative child, not successful.
[01:22:50]  That kind of took me to like, I was actually right before you said that, I thought you were going to say this would you rather have a gay child who's conservative?
[01:22:59]  Or a straight child who is like ultra, ultra, ultra lib.
[01:23:02]  How many grandchildren do they give me?
[01:23:05]  They both give you the same amount.
[01:23:07]  Wait, you said gay and conservative.
[01:23:10]  No, I was asking how many.
[01:23:11]  Gay child who's ultra conservative, or a straight child who is ultra lib, and they never change.
[01:23:18]  But I could get their grandkids.
[01:23:20]  I could convince the grandkids.
[01:23:21]  They both have grandkids.
[01:23:22]  No, no.
[01:23:22]  I mean, I'm saying, even if you have a lib child, you could get the grandkids, if they're married and have kids and stuff like that, you could get them to be conservative.
[01:23:31]  All their kids are exactly what they are.
[01:23:35]  Wait, so the gay guy has kids?
[01:23:37]  They're gay conservatives.
[01:23:39]  They're all gay.
[01:23:39]  It's a bunch of Scott Presslers.
[01:23:41]  I'll take the lib.
[01:23:42]  And then the lib kids are all super lib.
[01:23:45]  Scott Pressler's done a lot of good things.
[01:23:48]  That's what I'm saying.
[01:23:49]  There's a lot of people who love the gay conservatives.
[01:23:53]  I don't know.
[01:23:54]  I don't know.
[01:23:55]  That's tricky.
[01:23:55]  This has been fun.
[01:23:56]  Do you guys like it?
[01:23:57]  Do you want us to keep doing it?
[01:23:58]  That's the question.
[01:23:59]  I can come up with infinity hypos.
[01:24:01]  So there's something weird about Blake's autistic, like.
[01:24:06]  Dartmouth brain that he just like this is what he does.
[01:24:09]  Would you rather get every single quarter anywhere in the world that's put into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game machine, of which there are several, or would you rather have the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles be real?
[01:24:21]  Real autism alert.
[01:24:25]  Yeah, I feel like I feel like you don't have a soul if you don't want the turtles to be real fighting evildoers in New York City.
[01:24:31]  Listen, what does it profit a man to gain the whole world but to lose the Ninja Turtles?
[01:24:35]  Exactly, exactly.
[01:24:36]  Yeah, a lot of people I know they just pick the money.
[01:24:39]  I love Ninja Turtles because they're the only real legitimate superheroes that aren't from a major company like Comic Wing that have survived in America.
[01:24:50]  Oh, that's interesting.
[01:24:51]  I hadn't even thought about that.
[01:24:52]  They're like the only ones that actually are celebrated and looked like.
[01:24:56]  You understand the Ninja Turtles like Jack understands the Beatles.
[01:25:01]  Oh, Ninja Turtles were my thing.
[01:25:03]  However, though, weren't the Turtles technically supposedly based off of Daredevil?
[01:25:11]  Yeah, who cares?
[01:25:12]  It was the same mutagen that gave Matt Murdock his powers, was also the accident that led to them converting into turtles.
[01:25:22]  It started as a parody.
[01:25:23]  It started as a parody.
[01:25:24]  It's a parody sense.
[01:25:25]  All right, but listen, we got to wrap.
[01:25:27]  Jack, this has been fun.
[01:25:29]  You guys have been fun.
[01:25:30]  Jack, take us home.
[01:25:33]  Ladies and gentlemen, go out there and commit more thought crime.
[01:25:39]  Thought crime is death.
