Aaron: Oh, the bearer of bad news for anti-torture fans.
Adam K: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
Adam K: Hold on.
Adam K: I need to finish watching this Mitch McConnell video.
Adam K: He's reviewing the slate truck.
Adam K: It's pretty good.
Adam K: I mean, he he's got a few good
Adam K: thoughts about it, but, um, I
Adam K: don't know.
Adam K: I mean, looks he looks healthy.
Aaron: Well, I like anything that you can, uh, mess with yourself and
Aaron: try to drive away.
Aaron: Right.
Aaron: Uh.
Adam K: I think he's probably more silent than that.
Aaron: Yeah, he's he's not as clear and as as, uh, loud.
Adam K: Yeah. When the voodoo music starts playing and he's, he's
Adam K: dancing in the living room.
Adam K: That's when you know, it's, it's jump the shark.
Aaron: Well, I've been in the hospital for three weeks.
Aaron: A Jamaican priest came up here and she, uh, some dust
Adam K: You
Aaron: and dirt
Adam K: need
Aaron: over
Adam K: you
Aaron: my.
Adam K: need to sound more like Foghorn Leghorn, though.
Aaron: It
Adam K: I'll
Aaron: did.
Adam K: say, I'll say.
Aaron: I don't.
Aaron: I don't know if he gets.
Aaron: I guess he used to get that animated, but lately it's.
Aaron: Well, especially lately, it's
Aaron: more just like, oh, I'm getting
Aaron: better, but I just, I don't, I
Aaron: maybe just get a little Foghorn
Aaron: Leghorn.
Adam K: Hello.
Adam K: I mean, he's very southern.
Adam K: Was is.
Adam K: Anyway, I don't know.
Adam K: I'm.
Aaron: May he rest in peace and good.
Aaron: Good job.
Aaron: He's still alive.
Adam K: It's just weird in this.
Adam K: This happened.
Adam K: There was some California Senate or whatever where they were like
Adam K: wheeling her out and she just.
Aaron: Feinstein.
Adam K: Was it fine saying.
Adam K: Yeah. And it was just like, this is this is elder abuse.
Adam K: This is bad.
Aaron: Yeah, I think I mentioned this.
Aaron: Maybe I haven't mentioned this
Aaron: before, but like during that UFC
Aaron: fight at, at, uh, the white
Aaron: House, you know, how everyone
Aaron: was there and they all wanted to
Aaron: be there and they, the
Aaron: designated survivor was Chuck
Aaron: Grassley.
Adam K: I don't know who that is.
Aaron: He is the oldest senator.
Aaron: Right now he's ninety three, I think, and he's
Adam K: Man.
Aaron: just he's just barely a human being at this point.
Aaron: And they're like, this will be
Aaron: the man who rebuilds the
Aaron: government.
Aaron: And we're like, statistically, he could have died in his sleep
Aaron: that night during the UFC fight.
Adam K: It's just.
Adam K: It's weird that he had a front seat view of the Gettysburg
Adam K: Address, and he's still legislating, you know.
Aaron: When he was trying to talk the
Aaron: founders out of signing the
Aaron: document before
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: they reviewed it a little more.
Aaron: You know?
Adam K: Yeah. You know, don't.
Adam K: This is a little too clear on some aspects.
Adam K: Maybe we can, I don't know, make
Aaron: I
Adam K: it
Aaron: know
Adam K: just.
Aaron: everyone's trying to take off
Aaron: for, uh, July because they gotta
Aaron: get back to the plantations and
Aaron: such for the crop yield, but
Aaron: let's maybe we'll have a recess
Aaron: until September.
Aaron: It'll be cooler in Washington.
Aaron: We come back and they're like, Chuck, let's get this done now.
Aaron: Chuck.
Adam K: Wow.
Aaron: I think Chuck Grassley, I also think talks like Foghorn
Aaron: Leghorn, if I remember
Adam K: They
Aaron: correctly,
Adam K: all do.
Aaron: maybe
Adam K: These are
Aaron: just
Adam K: the.
Aaron: you get so jowly when you get that old, you just naturally
Aaron: talk like this.
Adam K: That's.
Adam K: That's a thing with aging, where
Adam K: the Earth's gravity just
Adam K: naturally, you know, pulls our
Adam K: skin down.
Adam K: And that's just that, you know,
Adam K: that's why your spine does funny
Adam K: things.
Adam K: So if we as a species find a way
Adam K: to live on the moon or Mars,
Adam K: that we might, that might be the
Adam K: max looking trick and not
Adam K: injecting gold into your septum
Adam K: or whatever.
Aaron: You know, like that guy.
Aaron: I told you that I ran into that guy a couple times in Austin.
Aaron: Connor.
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: Connor. Connor.
Aaron: Murphy.
Adam K: yeah.
Adam K: Right.
Adam K: May he rest in peace.
Adam K: Um, though I think he has a some other review video coming out
Adam K: too later today.
Aaron: He he would, uh, he had like an
Aaron: OnlyFans, I think for a little
Aaron: while.
Aaron: And like a couple of my friends
Aaron: who were girls would like, see
Aaron: him running around and he was
Aaron: always trying to like, fuck them
Aaron: out in the woods for content
Aaron: and, uh,
Adam K: Right.
Aaron: and he'd show up at gyms and
Aaron: some people would recognize him
Aaron: and the girls would just be
Aaron: like, he's like an oddity, like
Aaron: a hot oddity at the time where
Aaron: they would take a picture with
Aaron: him.
Aaron: Yeah.
Aaron: Oddity.
Aaron: And, uh, and then, you know, then he'd try and like rope him
Aaron: into his, his OnlyFans deal.
Aaron: Um, which, you know, what a poor guy, you know, it happens to the
Aaron: best of them.
Aaron: Um.
Adam K: Does it?
Adam K: I mean, it's been happening to a lot of them.
Adam K: Even the the guys whose entire
Adam K: mission it is just to look like
Adam K: the Incredible Hulk at all
Adam K: times.
Adam K: And they're just these it's just muscles on muscle.
Adam K: I mean, it's just the eighties
Adam K: repeating itself, but now you
Adam K: just order your your shit from
Adam K: discord.
Adam K: So.
Aaron: I gotta think that, like, I
Aaron: don't know, maybe this is the
Aaron: cusp of things where you're
Aaron: like, where famous people are
Aaron: dying from injecting gold to
Aaron: themselves.
Aaron: Like it's just, it's so cartoonish that you, you just,
Aaron: if you wrote it, people would be like, this is so stupid.
Aaron: What you just wrote.
Aaron: And, uh, but it's reality.
Aaron: Whatever.
Aaron: Who cares?
Adam K: Are you.
Adam K: You're saying like, much like
Adam K: the fentanyl epidemic or opioid
Adam K: crisis, there's going to be a,
Adam K: like a briefing of like today's
Adam K: youth is injecting too much gold
Adam K: into their bodies and their, uh,
Adam K: their Taiwanese apartments or
Adam K: Bangkok
Aaron: No, I
Adam K: affordable
Aaron: love the
Adam K: Bangkok
Aaron: Trump administration.
Adam K: apartment.
Aaron: The Trump administration like issues this warning to Ghana and
Aaron: their gold exports because it's killing our rich youth.
Aaron: And
Adam K: Right.
Aaron: they don't, you know, they they're going to do something
Aaron: about the gold cartels, and they're not going to allow gold
Aaron: out on the streets.
Adam K: What you do is you chop down one of those flock cameras or any of
Adam K: the speed light cameras.
Adam K: There's something like three ounces of gold in each of those.
Adam K: You melt that down.
Adam K: You find a guy with a syringe,
Adam K: you put it between your toes,
Adam K: you'll be the neck, and then
Adam K: you'll.
Adam K: Next thing you know, you're making sweet love to a stranger
Adam K: in the woods.
Aaron: John Prine has a song.
Aaron: Uh, what was it?
Aaron: There's a hole in my soul where
Aaron: all the money goes, uh, uh,
Aaron: whatever.
Aaron: It was one of his original
Aaron: albums, but he has this line
Aaron: about, like.
Aaron: And the gold rolled through his
Aaron: veins like a thousand railroad
Aaron: trains.
Aaron: It was about this, this vet who was, you know, doing heroin
Aaron: after the war to ease the pain.
Aaron: Now it's literally gold rolling through the veins, and it's just
Aaron: a rich fuck who's OnlyFans has failed killing himself?
Adam K: This is
Aaron: I'm sorry, John Prine.
Adam K: you should not take the lyrics literally.
Adam K: That's the problem.
Aaron: That guy never listened to John Prine album.
Aaron: He probably listened to his own
Aaron: fucking shitty EDM music that he
Aaron: made as he was injecting himself
Aaron: with whatever new peptides that
Aaron: he found.
Adam K: It's just talking to some friends over the weekend and,
Adam K: you know, talking about, you know, uh, one of them takes the
Adam K: metro around here in LA for work and just talking about like, you
Adam K: see the fentanyl people sometimes where they're just,
Aaron: Zombie ING around.
Adam K: yeah, but it's like they're planted on the ground.
Adam K: Like they can't, they're not
Adam K: falling over, but they're about
Adam K: to, but it's just this weird,
Adam K: almost like cosmic horror
Adam K: entity, you know, where it's
Adam K: like, it's freaky, but, um, just
Adam K: saying that when we were kids,
Adam K: not to get all nostalgic, but
Adam K: it's like one of them was just
Adam K: saying, like, you know,
Adam K: realistically we had like three
Adam K: drugs.
Adam K: That was really all we had at our disposal.
Adam K: And one of them was weed.
Adam K: And the two other ones were
Adam K: like, I don't know, maybe
Adam K: cocaine, maybe, you know, or
Adam K: alcohol.
Adam K: And then like, you know, a wild card wherever you grew up and,
Adam K: you know, maybe acid, whatever.
Aaron: What are you talking
Adam K: But.
Aaron: about?
Aaron: When we were kids, like you're talking about teenagers,
Adam K: Teenagers.
Aaron: okay?
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: I
Adam K: yeah.
Aaron: thought you're talking about like, little kids.
Aaron: I was like,
Adam K: When
Aaron: that would
Adam K: I
Aaron: have
Adam K: was
Aaron: been
Adam K: four.
Aaron: crack.
Adam K: Yeah. I'm just saying, like, in terms of what was accessible, it
Adam K: I'm sure it changes like neighborhood, neighborhood,
Adam K: like, so like where I lived, it was alcohol pot.
Adam K: And that was really it.
Adam K: I don't, I didn't know any other
Adam K: kids doing anything harder than
Adam K: that.
Adam K: Um, I had a couple friends talking about acid, but I don't
Adam K: think they knew where to get it.
Adam K: Uh, but now it's just with how much synthetic stuff you can
Adam K: just make in your kitchen.
Adam K: It they were saying there's something like over like two
Adam K: thousand two hundred different chemical compounds that you
Adam K: just, you can't some of them you can't even trace.
Adam K: It's crazy.
Aaron: I think it'd be cool.
Aaron: Like because they have these
Aaron: apps right now that looks at
Aaron: everything in your fridge and
Aaron: tells you what you could make
Aaron: for dinner with just, you know,
Aaron: all the random ingredients you
Aaron: have.
Aaron: If you have the same app for drugs and you just list like,
Aaron: well, I got all this Clorox and light bulbs and I've got some
Aaron: potpourri and all this other and it's like, oh yeah, you can
Aaron: make, you know, two CB if you want and you get
Adam K: Right.
Aaron: high off your ass and you just sell
Adam K: Yeah. You're
Aaron: it in the App store.
Adam K: you're a little scurrying on, on front of the fridge is just
Adam K: showing you the chemical compound that you can make.
Adam K: And some people in your neighborhood, you could maybe
Adam K: sell it to.
Aaron: I should show it somewhere else.
Aaron: Just show it like, I don't know, in your bathtub or something,
Aaron: some screen somewhere else.
Adam K: The one behind my toilet.
Aaron: And it should connect your Amazon.
Aaron: So like whenever you run out of, you know, baking soda or
Aaron: whatever you need, it's just, it automatically orders all your.
Adam K: Is just a giant drum barrel of a mystery liquid with some Chinese
Adam K: characters on the front.
Aaron: You can, you can get this
Aaron: hydrochloric acid prime
Aaron: delivered.
Adam K: You probably can.
Adam K: Anyway, um.
Adam K: Yeah, so I forgot why.
Adam K: I feel like I had a question for you, but I don't anymore.
Adam K: I think you may have accidentally answered it.
Aaron: Yeah,
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: I am I just going in a loop, but my brain is kind of fried.
Aaron: I, I told you about my friends who hosted Coolio in college and
Aaron: his like contract writer that he had I, I.
Adam K: No, but it's weird.
Adam K: You mentioned that because I listen to Coolio last week kind
Adam K: of on accident, but continue.
Aaron: I can't tell me if I'm repeating
Aaron: this, but like it was when I was
Aaron: in college.
Aaron: Uh, I was a freshman.
Aaron: Like one of the first things
Aaron: that happened was they, uh, some
Aaron: friends of mine were in a
Aaron: fraternity.
Aaron: I wasn't, but I always got the benefits of the party things.
Aaron: And they Coolio was going to
Aaron: throw like the opening, like
Aaron: semester party.
Aaron: Well, not he was throwing it.
Aaron: They were throwing party.
Aaron: Coolio was going to be the performance there.
Adam K: Okay.
Aaron: And so Coolio, you know, was
Aaron: kind of in a weird, I guess,
Aaron: career position at the time
Aaron: where.
Adam K: Was this before or after cooking with Coolio?
Aaron: I have no idea.
Aaron: This had been like two thousand and five.
Aaron: And he's, he's performing at a frat house.
Aaron: So you, you figure it out.
Aaron: But like he's, he's has this contract, right?
Aaron: That's like he wants this amount of money.
Aaron: He needs, you know, this food and this liquor there.
Aaron: And also it said it needed, he needed a huge crack rock.
Adam K: MM.
Aaron: And so these guys, this guy I knew Matt was like, and he
Aaron: talked with Liz.
Aaron: He's like Coolio said, he needs a fucking crack rock.
Aaron: We we gotta go get a crack rock or he's not going to go on.
Aaron: And I was like, how are you going to do that?
Aaron: So they it was these scared white boys.
Aaron: They went to the east side to
Aaron: try and score crack rock for
Aaron: Coolio.
Aaron: And they started interacting with some of the people who sell
Aaron: crack rocks, and they got scared and drove off.
Aaron: So what they did instead is they sourced a bunch of cocaine from,
Aaron: you know, rich white kids, and they looked up on the internet
Aaron: how to cook crack.
Aaron: And they cooked crack in their in their fraternity and made
Aaron: like this huge crack rock that they were like, it was way too
Aaron: big because they used like all the cocaine they had bought.
Aaron: And Coolio was apparently very pleased with what they had done.
Aaron: And he gave a great show that night.
Aaron: But,
Adam K: Well,
Aaron: uh.
Adam K: yeah, because they kind of did the opposite of what crack is
Adam K: supposed to accomplish, right?
Adam K: It's supposed to cover the fact that it doesn't have much
Adam K: cocaine in it.
Aaron: Yeah, but they didn't know that.
Aaron: They
Adam K: Right.
Aaron: just they just knew they needed a thing that I think they were
Aaron: thinking like Congo or something like a huge diamond, like
Aaron: beautiful thing, you know, because they, they'd been
Aaron: promoting that Coolio was going to perform all this time.
Aaron: And they're not, you know, they had to pull out all the stops to
Aaron: try and make it happen.
Aaron: And part one of that is they learned how to make drugs from
Adam K: Wow.
Aaron: what the chemicals they had at the house.
Adam K: Did they take those skills on to do other things in their life?
Aaron: Uh, well, one dude became he's pretty high up in the Houston
Aaron: police force now.
Aaron: And, uh, and then the other guy's in politics.
Aaron: Wow.
Aaron: So.
Adam K: And those are two positions where you need to recognize a
Adam K: crack, a crack rock.
Adam K: So.
Aaron: Yeah. You know, and they go, how do you know?
Aaron: It's like my training.
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: Okay.
Adam K: My frat.
Adam K: Listen.
Adam K: Listen.
Aaron: Listen,
Adam K: Here.
Aaron: guys, I
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: made a crack rock for Coolio and it was fucking awesome.
Adam K: Yeah. This is a trial deposition.
Aaron: Everything I've said, if there's
Aaron: no way they'd ever know this,
Aaron: but immediately they'd know who
Aaron: they were, who I was talking
Aaron: about.
Aaron: But I haven't been specific enough to like, which is great.
Adam K: That's
Aaron: That's
Adam K: fair.
Aaron: the perfect
Adam K: You're
Aaron: thing.
Adam K: you're doing a better job than
Adam K: any of the male escorts
Adam K: describing, uh, Lindsey Graham's
Adam K: undercarriage.
Aaron: Ladybugs.
Aaron: Ladybugs.
Adam K: I wish I didn't know that I
Adam K: actually looked it up this
Adam K: morning because I've always seen
Adam K: it.
Adam K: The whole ladybugs.
Adam K: I never went that deep because
Adam K: I'm just like, I'm not that
Adam K: interested.
Adam K: And then I read it the, you
Adam K: know, the supposed claim and
Adam K: threw up a little bit in my
Adam K: mouth.
Adam K: So.
Aaron: My uncle and I were working on the Chevy this weekend and he
Aaron: was like, yeah, something about he's like, it's, it's, uh, quite
Aaron: the thing that Putin managed to kill Graham this weekend.
Aaron: And I was
Adam K: Sure.
Aaron: like, I was like, you know, it could happen.
Aaron: It could have happened.
Aaron: Who knows?
Adam K: Maybe.
Aaron: Or I asked, uh, Mika about it
Aaron: and she's like, yeah, an aortic
Aaron: rupture.
Aaron: You're you're dead in a couple minutes.
Aaron: You know, that's just.
Adam K: But that could have been from a
Adam K: blowfish dart or, I don't know,
Adam K: some poppers.
Aaron: Or a Russian twink that slipped him something between his toes,
Aaron: some liquid gold into his toes.
Adam K: Yes, I will, I will lick your ladybugs.
Adam K: Just sniff this, please.
Aaron: Mr. lady, comrade ladybug.
Adam K: This will express your anal glands.
Adam K: Very powerful.
Adam K: Good for me to get deep inside tissue.
Aaron: Russia. I mean, Russia's getting
Aaron: to the point where it might do
Aaron: anything.
Aaron: They might shove a nuclear bomb up.
Aaron: You know, another gay senator's ass who knows that they're,
Aaron: like, getting really desperate.
Aaron: So I wouldn't be surprised.
Aaron: Of course,
Adam K: Oh, so.
Aaron: you can't disprove conspiracy theory, so.
Adam K: Speaking of inedible things,
Adam K: what what was the your your
Adam K: determining factor about
Adam K: torches?
Adam K: Did you find something new or.
Adam K: No, it's just the fake.
Adam K: The fake shit you were talking
Aaron: I
Adam K: about.
Aaron: just don't know.
Aaron: I, I my theory.
Aaron: So this is the I think this is might be the third post I've
Aaron: seen on Reddit of someone who has taken a picture at a
Aaron: Torchy's and then used AI to put some sort of sign that says our
Aaron: employees work for tips.
Aaron: You need to tip.
Aaron: And it'll say like, you know,
Aaron: they they make two thirteen an
Aaron: hour.
Aaron: You need to tip some something like that, like a very like, uh,
Aaron: uh, passive aggressive, weird note that like, who would put
Aaron: that up there?
Aaron: But anyway, so this is like the third time I've seen that
Aaron: specifically for Torchy's, specifically for Houston.
Aaron: My theory is it's the employees
Aaron: are fucking pissed off because
Aaron: Torchy's has implemented this,
Aaron: like, uh, these POS systems that
Aaron: completely negate the need for
Aaron: employees.
Aaron: Like it's, it's just a kiosk thing.
Aaron: You know, like how McDonald's
Aaron: and all the others are doing it,
Aaron: but I think it's a disgruntled
Aaron: employee that keeps posting
Aaron: these things.
Aaron: But what's, what's happening is, I mean, Reddit's falling for it.
Aaron: They're getting huge numbers on
Aaron: these posts of people, you know,
Aaron: commenting and being like, you
Aaron: know, I can't believe that like
Aaron: servers don't make a living
Aaron: wage.
Aaron: What's wrong with, you know, what's wrong with the US?
Aaron: Why do they post these things?
Aaron: Why does it fall on the consumer?
Aaron: All this stuff.
Aaron: And I finally today like
Aaron: responded to one of them where I
Aaron: was like, you know, guys, this
Aaron: is AI.
Aaron: Look at this.
Aaron: Look at the card reader next to the card reader result is just a
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: jumbled gobbledygook.
Aaron: I was like, this is AI.
Aaron: Look, I don't particularly like Torchy's.
Aaron: It's whatever, you know, it's
Aaron: like white people tacos, you
Aaron: know, but,
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: uh, and I think, you know,
Aaron: obviously service industry needs
Aaron: to be paid a living wage, but
Aaron: just look at first of all, look
Aaron: at this image, look at this part
Aaron: and then think about who would
Aaron: put this up in a torchy's who
Aaron: and what manager would let this
Aaron: stay up?
Aaron: Like it?
Aaron: The big thing, like with AI
Aaron: imagery, is people always
Aaron: looking for, you know, the weird
Aaron: patterns or fingers or, you
Aaron: know, whatever the thing is, but
Aaron: like the broad, like why or, you
Aaron: know, or for what reason would
Aaron: this exist?
Aaron: Or how would someone be recording at this exact moment?
Aaron: You know, the kind of like the
Aaron: bigger like think logic
Aaron: questions
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: get bypassed.
Aaron: And this is a long way of saying someone's trying to take torches
Aaron: down and I don't really care.
Aaron: But I thought it was interesting.
Adam K: I mean, I, I have not done any research, but is it legal to pay
Adam K: employees in the state of Texas two dollars twenty five cents
Aaron: Two dollars thirteen cents.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: or whatever
Aaron: And
Adam K: it
Aaron: that's
Adam K: is
Aaron: been
Adam K: that's
Aaron: that's been.
Adam K: legal?
Aaron: Yeah. Because the, the
Adam K: Oh.
Aaron: idea for like, if you haven't worked in the service industry
Aaron: and you don't know is you get paid this base rate, right?
Aaron: Assuming
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: that you're going to be paid tips, the amount of your tips,
Aaron: if it does, if at the end of your shift, the amount of your
Aaron: tips plus your base rate, uh, don't equal minimum wage.
Aaron: I in Texas, it's seven fifty an hour.
Aaron: I think.
Aaron: Now if they don't meet that, then your employer has to make
Aaron: up that difference.
Aaron: But then also if you anything that you make over minimum wage,
Aaron: you have to claim on your taxes.
Aaron: I think this is how it goes.
Aaron: But anyway, so the idea is you're the minimum wage is is
Aaron: supposed to be at least attained by the tips that you get.
Aaron: And in theory, and how it used to be is that, well, you can
Aaron: make pretty good tips from a service industry and it's all
Aaron: cash and cash you don't need to pay taxes on because you just
Aaron: don't, you don't claim it.
Aaron: And, uh, and you're good.
Aaron: The thing is, no one pays cash for anything anymore.
Aaron: So that benefit is gone.
Aaron: So you're paying taxes on everything, which is not a it's,
Aaron: you know, at most restaurants and most service industry jobs
Aaron: is not that great.
Aaron: So but the laws, I mean, you
Aaron: know, uh, uh, minimum wage laws,
Aaron: they're shit everywhere except
Aaron: for Washington and California or
Aaron: whatever.
Aaron: And yeah, it's it's legal.
Aaron: It's totally legal to pay two thirteen an hour.
Aaron: And it's basically if you don't, it basically covers your taxes
Aaron: is what it literally covers.
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: Some paychecks, some it used to
Aaron: be like a paycheck that they'd
Aaron: get was just it just all went to
Aaron: taxes.
Aaron: And then they would keep all the
Aaron: cash and that would be their
Aaron: income.
Adam K: I prefer the European slash.
Adam K: I guess maybe the rest of the world method where the waiters
Adam K: make the same no matter what.
Adam K: They don't expect a tip.
Adam K: But also they expect you to sit at that restaurant for three and
Adam K: a half hours.
Aaron: Yeah. They, you finish your food and then sometime the next day,
Aaron: they bring you your check
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: after you wake up.
Aaron: And
Adam K: Are
Aaron: then you
Adam K: you
Aaron: go, oh
Adam K: are you still here?
Adam K: Okay.
Aaron: yeah.
Aaron: And which I don't know which system I, I prefer, I think I
Aaron: know, uh, but yeah, I didn't, I think it's so interesting that
Aaron: people don't, I guess if you, you haven't worked a service
Aaron: industry job, you don't know how shitty it is and was, uh, you
Aaron: know, pay wise, like
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: base level because that two
Aaron: thirteen our like people at, uh,
Aaron: you know, actually a place like
Aaron: Torchy's they might make more
Aaron: because it's not like a
Aaron: traditional service, but okay,
Aaron: so
Adam K: I was
Aaron: you
Adam K: going to say, is there not waiters?
Aaron: might
Adam K: So.
Aaron: say, okay,
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: Applebee's, right?
Aaron: A server Applebee's is making two thirteen an hour
Adam K: Sitting on your dad's lap.
Aaron: sitting on my dad's lap listening to his story that he
Aaron: told her last week.
Aaron: But and then a person at Ruth's
Aaron: Chris, a server at Ruth's, Chris
Aaron: is making two thirteen an hour
Aaron: as well.
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: But the Ruth's Chris server is getting well.
Aaron: It's all you know.
Aaron: And that's my dad again there, you know, for special occasion.
Aaron: But they're getting tipped way
Aaron: more and it might be in cash
Aaron: actually sometimes.
Aaron: But you know, it's the difference between you're making
Aaron: three hundred dollars or four hundred dollars a shift versus
Aaron: fifty dollars a shift.
Adam K: Right. Well, everything I know about tipping.
Adam K: I learned from the intro of Reservoir Dogs.
Adam K: So that's pretty much what I go off of.
Adam K: And I lean more towards Harvey Keitel's side of it, but also
Adam K: the way I've been taught.
Adam K: The tip is you just double the tax.
Adam K: Um, but now they bring a screen to you and your three.
Adam K: Yeah.
Adam K: They only give you three choices
Adam K: and it usually starts at twenty
Adam K: percent and it goes all the way
Adam K: up.
Adam K: But it's like, I guess I, I
Adam K: always thought it was fifteen
Adam K: percent.
Adam K: That's what you tip.
Adam K: That's just that was normalized for me.
Adam K: Uh, but I guess in the Reservoir Dogs universe, you can just kind
Adam K: of, you just kind of guess a number, I don't know.
Aaron: First of all, that was nineteen ninety one,
Adam K: That's true.
Aaron: but also fifteen percent.
Aaron: That's like, again, that's like someone who not to put you down.
Aaron: You've had a very, uh, lovely
Aaron: career, but like, that's someone
Aaron: who's not necessarily worked in
Aaron: the service industry because
Aaron: like fifteen percent is in my
Aaron: view, you you acknowledge that
Aaron: the server needs to make money,
Aaron: but you did not like what they
Aaron: did.
Aaron: Like that's what it is to me because twenty percent is, is
Aaron: basically the baseline of like, this is what I need to survive
Aaron: kind of thing.
Aaron: And most people don't get most people in the US.
Aaron: And then definitely people outside the US, they don't
Aaron: understand that like, no, no, no, the twenty percent is like
Aaron: what I need to survive because there are other people who are
Aaron: just not going to tip.
Aaron: So it's really an it's a law of averages kind of thing.
Aaron: So you're going to
Adam K: I.
Aaron: get three
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: people with twenty percent, one person with zero percent.
Aaron: And that's, you know, that is what it is.
Aaron: That's how
Adam K: Right.
Aaron: you get your fifteen percent.
Adam K: But I, I, I like that concept too, because it's as if they're
Adam K: this is some law ordained by God himself of like, we have to pay
Adam K: our waiters a non living wage and you need to pay them more.
Adam K: And like, this system seems
Adam K: fucked up from the beginning,
Adam K: from the get go that you just
Adam K: can't.
Adam K: There's an entire industry that cannot survive based on just
Adam K: giving people a living wage.
Adam K: Because I know restaurants fail constantly.
Adam K: It's like one.
Adam K: The margins are so thin.
Adam K: Just, I don't know it.
Adam K: It's a bigger thing.
Adam K: Obviously,
Aaron: I
Adam K: old
Aaron: actually
Adam K: man,
Aaron: don't
Adam K: I
Aaron: know.
Adam K: just don't go out anymore.
Adam K: That's it.
Adam K: I just I make my own food.
Aaron: Covid
Adam K: It's too complicated.
Aaron: fucked up my ticket.
Aaron: I mean, it didn't fuck it up in a bad way, but it just made it
Aaron: to where like during Covid, I was tipping like fifty percent
Aaron: because I was still working.
Aaron: Lucky enough to work.
Aaron: And then there were all these
Aaron: other people, you know, the
Aaron: people at Torchy's were deemed
Aaron: essential workers.
Aaron: So I was like, well, if I'm getting this hillbilly queso and
Aaron: they have to be there, I'm going to give them, you know, fifty
Aaron: percent of the thing.
Aaron: And then that just I think that is how it got to be where it is
Aaron: now, where like the minimum, you know, on the screen when you're
Aaron: tipping is like, do you want to tip seventy five or eighty
Aaron: percent, you know, or whatever
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: it is now it's usually now it's like twenty or twenty five.
Aaron: No. Now it's like, well, in
Aaron: Austin, it was twenty twenty
Aaron: five or thirty when I was last
Aaron: there.
Aaron: A few places I was like, God damn, but,
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: uh, sounded like an old man.
Aaron: But I
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: don't know where tip like how
Aaron: this, this, I guess, mechanism
Aaron: for paying servers in the US
Aaron: originated.
Aaron: I have no clue.
Aaron: Like because
Adam K: I'm going
Aaron: it's
Adam K: to
Aaron: such
Adam K: guess
Aaron: an
Adam K: some
Aaron: odd,
Adam K: form of lobbying.
Aaron: I don't know, it's such an odd,
Aaron: like how did this system work
Aaron: where.
Aaron: So I guess the Fair Labor Act of
Aaron: nineteen thirty eight, I think
Aaron: that's where the minimum wage
Aaron: came from.
Aaron: But how did it come about where
Aaron: maybe it's because the
Aaron: restaurants in the US were like,
Aaron: if we have to pay a minimum
Aaron: wage, we will go out of
Aaron: business.
Aaron: So let's create this scheme or something.
Aaron: I should look into that because I'm genuinely curious.
Aaron: I'll tie it to my.
Aaron: I'll write a blurb about how there's a conspiracy against
Aaron: torches right now.
Adam K: I look forward to reading that.
Adam K: I just yeah, I just make sure to tip the automated robot that
Adam K: gives me a monster energy drink as much as I can because he
Adam K: needs it for college.
Aaron: The.
Adam K: Little,
Aaron: Uh.
Adam K: little robot arm.
Aaron: Yeah, yeah,
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: I was just thinking like I was at torches a week ago, and when
Aaron: I was presented with the tip screen, I had this moment where
Aaron: I thought, I have done all this via this, you know, this kiosk,
Aaron: who, who is this going towards and blah, blah, blah, blah.
Aaron: And then I thought about it.
Aaron: I was like, it's probably a tip.
Aaron: Share.
Aaron: These people are already not making any money.
Aaron: Like the worst that could happen.
Aaron: That's the worst.
Aaron: The, the thing that could
Aaron: happen, it just goes to the
Aaron: kitchen staff, which they
Aaron: deserved anyway.
Aaron: So I was like, fuck it, I'll just give it and
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: cut to the manager being like, I
Aaron: made twenty percent more than my
Aaron: salary today.
Adam K: Mhm. Yeah. That's always the fun
Adam K: part when you assume you know
Adam K: what's actually happening with
Adam K: the money.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Um. Um, I saw the channel five thing though.
Adam K: They raised, I stopped looking at once.
Adam K: They hit their, their goal.
Adam K: But
Aaron: Did he make his eight hundred grand?
Adam K: I think, I mean, yeah, it was at like seven hundred thousand an
Adam K: hour after the video went up and I was like, they're, they're
Adam K: going to be fine.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: God. Sweet.
Adam K: But that's, that's one of those
Adam K: other things too, where I'm
Adam K: like, why do you have to pay the
Adam K: lawyer eight hundred thousand
Adam K: dollars?
Adam K: This is ludicrous.
Aaron: It's probably multiple lawyers.
Adam K: That's true.
Adam K: Yeah. And then just that whole scheme of you, the, the whole,
Adam K: like you can just sue someone into oblivion without taking it
Adam K: ever taking it to court
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: is bury them under legal fees.
Adam K: Like.
Adam K: Cool.
Adam K: That's that seems fair.
Aaron: That's how it's been.
Aaron: And that's how like when the US, like when people in politics
Aaron: talk about tort reform, tort reform should be like, oh, it's
Aaron: easier for the little person to be able to, you know, go toe to
Aaron: toe with a corporation.
Aaron: But whenever they talk about
Aaron: tort reform, they're talking
Aaron: about, uh, there needs to be
Aaron: more protections for companies
Aaron: against consumers who want to
Aaron: not be smothered by the legal
Aaron: system.
Aaron: You know, so, and it's kind of,
Aaron: that's a, that's a, a case of
Aaron: that, I guess, with what is it,
Aaron: Andrew?
Aaron: What's his face?
Aaron: What is his last name?
Aaron: I forget his last
Adam K: Cal
Aaron: name.
Adam K: Callahan.
Adam K: Callahan
Aaron: Garfield.
Aaron: No.
Adam K: hates Mondays.
Adam K: It's
Aaron: Uh,
Adam K: all I know.
Aaron: yeah. But yeah, I, I, uh, I guess regardless what you think
Aaron: of him or channel five, like it's it's a scary.
Aaron: It's like the, uh, Gawker stuff.
Aaron: It's just scary when they just,
Adam K: Yes,
Aaron: just get.
Adam K: yes. But Gawker.
Adam K: Arguably did something way dumber.
Aaron: Well, they obviously did something way dumber.
Aaron: And didn't you know it was Gawker.
Aaron: But at the same time it was like, oh, Peter Thiel, once you
Aaron: shut down and he
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: did it, you know, so it's
Adam K: Right.
Aaron: it's you get into a, a not
Aaron: existential, but a, I guess you
Aaron: could it's not political or
Aaron: whatever.
Aaron: Maybe it is existential debate
Aaron: of like, well, Gawker was a
Aaron: shitty publication that did
Aaron: nonsense that revealed Hulk
Aaron: Hogan unable to fuck after a
Aaron: burrito ING.
Aaron: But, you know, is that it?
Aaron: Should they have been smothered by Peter Thiel and his evilness.
Aaron: Maybe they were just both evil
Aaron: and Peter Thiel just needs to
Aaron: get his.
Aaron: And then everything will be balanced.
Aaron: But.
Adam K: Well, yeah.
Adam K: I mean, we're also we're
Adam K: conditioned right now to like,
Adam K: you always have to pick a side
Adam K: or be like, well, who am I
Adam K: rooting for?
Adam K: You can root for nobody.
Adam K: You can say everyone involved in this is terrible.
Adam K: Everyone's a villain now.
Aaron: Yeah. But that's that's so, so much harder to think about.
Aaron: And I don't like that.
Adam K: Right?
Adam K: No, I know we gotta play into the tribalism of just like,
Adam K: well, look, this this politician wants to just completely fuck me
Adam K: over, but I. I like the way he looks, so I'm gonna I'm gonna go
Adam K: with this guy, even though it's gonna ruin me financially.
Adam K: But whatever farmers are, they've got it figured out.
Adam K: They're fine.
Adam K: Got soybeans.
Adam K: They're gonna be okay.
Aaron: Wait, what?
Aaron: What happened with.
Aaron: What are you talking about?
Aaron: Farmers now?
Adam K: Farmers voted for Trump.
Adam K: Trump was
Aaron: Oh.
Adam K: pro tariff.
Adam K: It's completely fucked them over because it's just like you're
Adam K: just going with the guy that says the things.
Adam K: That sounds more like what you, you know, works for you.
Adam K: Like, yeah, get rid of the immigrants.
Adam K: You mean your workforce, whatever.
Aaron: I think, Uh, so my family are soybean farmers in Nebraska and
Aaron: their, their way of like, they always have a great way.
Aaron: And I think this is how a lot of the kind of Trump farmers think,
Aaron: I'm assuming, but they have a great way of twisting the
Aaron: argument into forms that you you can't even anticipate because we
Aaron: talk about like, oh, you know, can't you see that the that the
Aaron: tariffs have done this and now you're having to get a subsidy
Aaron: and blah, blah, blah, blah.
Aaron: And they'll be like, you know,
Aaron: the Chinese have special, uh,
Aaron: you know, they'll say like
Aaron: witchcraft or whatever it is,
Aaron: like some sort of thing where
Aaron: you're like, it's a blend of
Aaron: racism and nonsense that you're
Aaron: like, oh, so yeah, we're not
Aaron: even talking about like policy
Aaron: things and you don't even care
Aaron: about Biden.
Aaron: It's like a, it's like a racist Chinese thing.
Adam K: Yeah. And also like clarity there.
Adam K: I don't, I'm not like saying,
Adam K: well, if you vote for the other
Adam K: guy, they're going to magically
Adam K: make everything else go away
Adam K: because like that never works
Adam K: either.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: So I don't know.
Adam K: Again, I'm I'm just going to vote in a dog next time,
Adam K: whatever runs next.
Adam K: Whatever just has the purest of heart.
Adam K: I'm just I'm just going to go with that.
Adam K: It's
Aaron: I'm
Adam K: like
Aaron: going
Adam K: a.
Aaron: to vote for Vermin Supreme like I do every election.
Aaron: He's a guy that wears the boot on his head.
Adam K: Oh, it's a cool name.
Aaron: Yeah. Vermin supreme.
Aaron: I forget what his platform is.
Aaron: I mostly just remember the boot.
Aaron: Oh, it's.
Aaron: It's not really a boot.
Aaron: It's more of a a galosh.
Aaron: It's a
Adam K: There,
Aaron: it's a rain boot.
Adam K: there was a guy in Love Island named sincere.
Adam K: I only learned this last night, I don't.
Aaron: How is it spelled, though?
Aaron: Like s I n like Cyr.
Adam K: I should
Aaron: As in
Adam K: be.
Aaron: searing a steak.
Adam K: I just I, I see a lot of gold chains in that man's life,
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: but, um, no, I, I learned a lot about Love Island last night
Adam K: against my will.
Adam K: So
Aaron: Well, what?
Adam K: I was out of like, a family
Adam K: dinner thing and, um, people are
Adam K: getting excited
Aaron: Oh,
Adam K: about.
Aaron: Love Island.
Aaron: I thought you said Leviathan.
Aaron: I was
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: like.
Adam K: This new show where people fall
Adam K: in love with a, uh, ancient sea
Adam K: creature.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: It's pretty cool.
Adam K: Next year is, uh, the spin off
Adam K: is Hydra, and then, um, cowl
Adam K: calibration.
Adam K: I think I just made those words up.
Aaron: I just let you keep going.
Adam K: Yeah, no, I'm great at improving.
Adam K: I'll just watch me bomb here on stage.
Adam K: Uh, it's cool because, like, you're.
Adam K: I can't hear the boos.
Adam K: My hearing's so bad.
Aaron: And you can't see the people
Aaron: turning away and checking their
Aaron: email.
Adam K: With all that said, I have no idea what I'm working on this
Adam K: week other than I'm going to be just sitting in my garage trying
Adam K: to build this mask.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Hopefully I get something out of
Adam K: it, but I don't know if kind of
Adam K: kind of spinning a lot of plates
Adam K: right now.
Adam K: Other projects just fine.
Aaron: I hear you, brother.
Adam K: Yeah, I don't know.
Adam K: I I'm in this weird.
Adam K: I'm like, I don't pretend to be
Adam K: an app builder, but somebody
Adam K: asked me, hey, can you build me
Adam K: an app for this business we're
Adam K: starting?
Adam K: I was like, sure, why not?
Adam K: That could be fun.
Adam K: And it's that magic where you
Adam K: just, you know, copy paste
Adam K: what's happening and it spits
Adam K: something out in your monkey
Adam K: brain.
Adam K: You're like, it works.
Adam K: Even though
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: any actual coder would look at
Adam K: it and be like, this thing is a
Adam K: broken mess.
Adam K: I'm like, but like, I, I got like, it has a built in
Adam K: messaging system that works.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: I was like, oh, I was testing it
Adam K: while in line for Space
Adam K: Mountain.
Adam K: And I was like, this is, this is crazy.
Adam K: Like I'm in two different
Adam K: browsers and I'm, I'm texting
Adam K: myself.
Adam K: I don't know how it did it.
Adam K: It's complete magic.
Adam K: And again, too, like I'm not
Adam K: selling myself and saying like,
Adam K: oh, I'm, I'm great at this sort
Adam K: of stuff.
Adam K: It's just it's a friend.
Adam K: And they, they want this thing.
Adam K: And I was like, I can try.
Adam K: I'm not going to promise anything great here, but it's I
Adam K: don't know, I'm just going
Aaron: There's
Adam K: to keep
Aaron: just
Adam K: using.
Aaron: like a, there's a rotating banner at the top of it that
Aaron: just shows their Social Security number at all times.
Adam K: Oh, believe me, I, I had that thought, um, of like, okay,
Adam K: what's being leaked?
Adam K: What, what credentials did I, am
Adam K: I asking the right questions
Adam K: here?
Adam K: Because I mean, you know, this, you, you've messed around with
Adam K: these sorts of things like because then you have to like,
Adam K: it's on a staging server right now, but then you got to move it
Adam K: to like Vercel or, you know, uh, qualify or one of these, you
Adam K: know, active, like a server that can scale with your, you know,
Adam K: whatever you're building.
Aaron: I
Adam K: So.
Aaron: think I know as soon as I hear, uh, well, as soon as I get like
Aaron: the random long phone call number, phone number and hear
Aaron: the Indian voice on the other line, like telling me how I owe
Aaron: money to, you know, for some unpaid parking tickets or
Aaron: whatever, blah, blah, blah.
Aaron: I'll be like, okay, I fucked up this app.
Aaron: Obviously I have some information.
Aaron: Then that's like my, I wait for that confirmation of some sort
Aaron: of, uh, scam from abroad.
Aaron: And then I know, um, and this is not, and it's not, uh, racist
Aaron: because it's true.
Aaron: So that's how I know that I fucked up an app is I get some
Aaron: sort of, you know, uh, I need to go to the Bitcoin ATM and.
Adam K: I mean, that's just not from
Adam K: your information being leaked by
Adam K: every giant corporation in the
Adam K: world.
Aaron: I mean, it could be that, but it's more of a timing thing.
Aaron: As soon as I launch, you know,
Aaron: this thing I'm working on when
Aaron: those when those phone calls
Aaron: start rolling in, I know that oh
Aaron: fuck.
Aaron: In my in my environment, my
Aaron: environmental variables, I put
Aaron: my phone number and my social
Aaron: security number.
Adam K: When it said which ports to open.
Adam K: You just said yes.
Aaron: I said.
Aaron: I said, my main port.
Adam K: Yeah. All ports please.
Aaron: Yeah, my.
Adam K: And then.
Aaron: Yeah. Get into my dirty port and look around.
Adam K: Dot com.
Adam K: Uh, anyway, no, the, um the the new scam or the thing that's
Adam K: been happening is I keep getting like, I get notifications of
Adam K: people trying to sign up using my email for like Tesla and
Adam K: these other like random Bitcoin wallets or whatever.
Adam K: Like I have no Bitcoin, I don't own a Tesla, but because I get
Adam K: these notifications, I immediately make an account to
Adam K: try to lock the person out.
Adam K: Um, which I think I accidentally did to some kid who shared my
Adam K: name, uh, who had a Roblox account, but he was using my
Adam K: name, but he somehow he was using my email, but it never
Adam K: like verified it.
Adam K: So I verified it and then locked him out.
Aaron: That's kind
Adam K: So.
Aaron: of a cool marketing thing where you think you make people sign
Aaron: up for accounts just so they don't get scammed.
Adam K: I was thinking that that I might be falling for that too.
Adam K: But for everything I've checked, it's just bots, you know,
Adam K: reading through a giant list.
Aaron: They're scraping.
Adam K: Yeah. And they're just I don't
Adam K: know what they're trying to
Adam K: accomplish, but they're just
Adam K: trying.
Adam K: They're testing multiple sites to see how easy can they get in
Adam K: with these leaked, uh, the leaked credentials or whatever.
Aaron: That's what
Adam K: So.
Aaron: I'm worried about, is this thing
Aaron: that I'm going to put it up
Aaron: either this weekend or the next
Aaron: weekend.
Aaron: I, I know that you can hook up Claude co to like Vercel and
Aaron: things like that.
Aaron: And I'm basically going to run
Aaron: it on fable, even though I know
Aaron: it burns like eight hundred
Aaron: dollars a second or whatever it
Aaron: is and be like, look for
Aaron: anything that you know, someone
Aaron: from, you know, a foreign actor
Aaron: could find.
Aaron: It's not even like someone down the street could.
Adam K: My brother.
Aaron: Yeah, my, it would be my brother.
Aaron: Like, look for these dirty
Aaron: portholes and tell me what I'm
Aaron: exposing.
Adam K: Find my ladybugs.
Aaron: Yeah. And burn them off.
Aaron: I'm sending you this torches image.
Adam K: You already sent me one.
Adam K: You sent me another one.
Aaron: Did I send it to you?
Adam K: You
Aaron: I
Adam K: sent
Aaron: did.
Adam K: me a. You texted me this morning and it was like.
Adam K: Well, um, whenever
Aaron: And I
Adam K: I get
Aaron: meant
Adam K: a text
Aaron: to
Adam K: from
Aaron: send you
Adam K: you.
Aaron: the other one that I responded to.
Aaron: That's
Adam K: Oh,
Aaron: what
Adam K: I
Aaron: I'm going
Adam K: see.
Aaron: to do.
Adam K: Oh, yeah.
Adam K: Because when you said when you start a text with so something
Adam K: weird is going on, I'm like, oh man, like what happened?
Aaron: Huh?
Adam K: What's going on?
Adam K: Were you hacked?
Adam K: Was I hacked?
Adam K: What's happening?
Adam K: Um, but then you sent me that
Adam K: and I was like, when did you
Adam K: send this?
Adam K: I was basically waking up and I was like, what?
Adam K: What happened?
Adam K: What torches?
Adam K: Whose torch?
Adam K: Torches.
Adam K: What the fuck?
Adam K: Why are you sending me this shitty AI image.
Aaron: Here's the other image.
Aaron: Okay, I just sent it to you.
Aaron: So that's the one that was from
Adam K: That's
Aaron: a couple
Adam K: fake
Aaron: weeks ago.
Aaron: And that
Adam K: is
Aaron: it
Adam K: absolutely fake.
Aaron: it's so fake and so obviously fake
Adam K: Um.
Aaron: that it made me very sad.
Aaron: And it's
Adam K: Someone
Aaron: got that.
Adam K: fell for it.
Adam K: People are falling for this.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: I mean, it's on a circle jerk subreddit, though,
Aaron: I
Adam K: so.
Aaron: know, but it's not.
Aaron: But they, I don't think they're it's not circle jerk in the way
Aaron: of like yeah.
Aaron: Here let me show you how big this um, subreddit was.
Adam K: I saw something this morning
Adam K: where they were talking about a
Adam K: quote from some CEO from twenty
Adam K: seven years ago, like Sun
Adam K: Microsystems saying, like, no
Adam K: one deserves privacy or anything
Adam K: like that.
Adam K: And people are like, well, we
Adam K: should like reveal the info of
Adam K: this guy.
Adam K: And it's like, this is a fucking thirty year old quote.
Adam K: Like he's probably dead.
Adam K: I don't know what is.
Adam K: Again, I think it's just all AI
Adam K: talking to AI anyway, so it
Adam K: doesn't matter.
Aaron: Is a circle jerk supposed to be like, I thought it's supposed to
Aaron: be like, uh, the people are pointing in in the city.
Aaron: How how ridiculously.
Aaron: Like unaware that the, the inhabitants of that city are.
Aaron: And they, it's, I mean, it's a circle.
Adam K: Are
Aaron: They,
Adam K: you are you
Aaron: they're.
Adam K: asking me what?
Adam K: What?
Adam K: What is the purpose of a circle jerk subreddit?
Aaron: Yeah. Not an actual circle jerk.
Adam K: It is a mock version of the
Aaron: Of a of
Adam K: real
Aaron: the pride
Adam K: thing.
Aaron: of a city.
Aaron: Right.
Adam K: Yeah. So you know, you do like I always like the the movie trivia
Adam K: circle jerks because like the subreddits at some point become
Adam K: a parody of themselves,
Aaron: Right.
Adam K: you know, where they're just, you start to noticing.
Adam K: So then you start to like be snarky or try to say something.
Adam K: People get banned or whatever.
Adam K: So they start their own subreddit in protest and it's
Adam K: just them mocking it.
Adam K: And but sometimes it's like it almost, you almost need like a
Adam K: circle jerk, circle jerk.
Aaron: Well, that's what I'm saying.
Aaron: It's like, so these the posts I sent you with the first torches
Aaron: thing that I responded to, like all the comments, they they're
Aaron: like, what the fuck is this?
Adam K: Right
Aaron: Like what?
Adam K: there.
Adam K: It's
Aaron: They're
Adam K: it
Aaron: pissed
Adam K: seems
Aaron: off.
Adam K: sincere.
Aaron: They're they're sincere.
Aaron: It's genuine.
Aaron: And that's why I was like, what is this, the subreddit?
Aaron: But it's, it's what you're saying is, right.
Aaron: It's like you need a circle jerk for the circle jerk.
Aaron: You need
Adam K: Well, they call it being out jerked.
Aaron: out jerked.
Adam K: Yeah. Or it's when, like something that almost is exactly
Adam K: parody shows up and they go, well, you can't top that because
Adam K: now it's, it's the whole thing of like SNL trying to do, you
Adam K: know, Trump parody things.
Adam K: It's like, well, you can't.
Adam K: He's already a clown.
Adam K: You can't you can't make fun of the clown.
Adam K: It's not going to work.
Adam K: It doesn't work for humor.
Adam K: So like you're just like, well, fuck, I just get this is why The
Adam K: Onion struggled for so long.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: They couldn't do it.
Adam K: They can't compete with reality.
Adam K: They have been out jerked.
Adam K: So, um, but yeah, the idea too is like a, you know, circle jerk
Adam K: is everyone's congratulating themselves like how, what a good
Adam K: job they're doing, which is kind of like internet echo chambers
Adam K: in a nutshell.
Adam K: So, um, but people
Aaron: Circle,
Adam K: need a place to
Aaron: circle
Adam K: be.
Aaron: jerk in a nutshell.
Adam K: In a nut job.
Adam K: Yes.
Aaron: I just want
Adam K: Now.
Aaron: to be on a platform above the circle jerk jerking.
Aaron: And then while everyone's doing their circle jerk below, I just.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: What you do is I need you to
Adam K: download the Tor browser and go
Adam K: go below the iceberg to the dark
Adam K: web.
Adam K: And that's where you get the real conversations.
Aaron: Sorry.
Aaron: I learned to really cook the crack rocks.
Adam K: Or just, you know, how to sign
Adam K: people up for Tesla accounts,
Adam K: whatever you want, whatever you
Adam K: need.
Aaron: I gotta go to this meeting.
Adam K: I know you do.
Aaron: I gotta meet this.
Aaron: I gotta meet a person in Poland who is clearly very.
Aaron: They're like twenty one, and,
Aaron: uh, they've been thrown into a
Aaron: job because they were there and
Aaron: available.
Aaron: And I feel for them and I need to talk to them
Adam K: Okay.
Aaron: and
Adam K: Well,
Aaron: tell
Adam K: I hope
Aaron: them it's
Adam K: the
Aaron: going
Adam K: adoption
Aaron: to be okay.
Adam K: process is easy and clean.
Adam K: And we don't get into a Sunni situation here.
Aaron: Well, I'm more going to just say, you know, Russia is going
Aaron: to be is going to is going to be invading soon anyway.
Aaron: So you won't have to worry about any of this stuff.
Aaron: It'll be fine, comrade.
Aaron: And.
Adam K: Don't worry.
Adam K: The sweet release of death is
Adam K: coming via tank, most likely
Adam K: drone.
Adam K: That sounds nice.
Adam K: That's nice of you.
Aaron: You know, that NATO thing you heard about?
Aaron: They
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: are not helping you.
Adam K: By the way, I tipped fifty percent during the pandemic.
Adam K: So not a hero, but just
Aaron: And
Adam K: hear
Aaron: they'll
Adam K: a warplane
Aaron: be like, tip!
Adam K: go.
Aaron: What is it?
Aaron: We take off the month of August.
Aaron: What is.
Adam K: My entire rent's four hundred dollars.
Adam K: Or I guess euros is probably what they use there.
Aaron: What did he say?
Aaron: No, I thought they used.
Adam K: The poll.
Aaron: I thought they were just little,
Aaron: little sausages that they just
Aaron: passed around.
Aaron: Let me see.
Aaron: Polish money.
Aaron: Yeah.
Aaron: Let's see here.
Adam K: I like that we're learning new things.
Aaron: Yeah. It's the zloty.
Adam K: Sounds like a made up word.
Aaron: Yeah, it's a z l o t y. That's what I was paying in.
Aaron: And it was easy because it's, uh.
Aaron: There's four of those to a US dollar.
Aaron: So, you know, when I get my my
Aaron: jar of pickled, uh, you know,
Aaron: whatever
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: the hell it was.
Adam K: Your retirement fund.
Aaron: They'd be like, this is four.
Aaron: And I was like, four.
Aaron: And they're like, oh, okay, it's a dollar for this huge mason jar
Aaron: of pickled stuff.
Aaron: And so yeah.
Adam K: Okay. Well, Godspeed I. I hope
Adam K: you you set him on the right
Adam K: path.
Adam K: Again, I don't really know what I'm working on this week, am I?
Adam K: But I look forward to your your torches.
Adam K: Torch torches.
Adam K: Exposé.
Aaron: Yeah. I gotta find out if this is one person posting this and
Aaron: then I gotta, I gotta ask them what the deal is if they're
Aaron: disgruntled or, you know, um.
Adam K: Just having a having a laugh.
Adam K: They're just like the Joker.
Aaron: Let's see.
Aaron: So it was a person Doritos do it right.
Aaron: Who posted this?
Aaron: And then for the newest one, it was some other person.
Aaron: And I'll see if they're related.
Aaron: I'll cross.
Aaron: Uh, I'll, I'll, I'll cross investigate them
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: and try and find the commonalities, and I'll message
Aaron: them both and I'll see if their responses seem the same.
Adam K: Man.
Aaron: Yeah,
Adam K: This
Aaron: I'll
Adam K: is
Aaron: fall asleep.
Adam K: CSI Houston.
Aaron: Yeah. This is, uh, not a lot
Aaron: gets solved in Houston murders
Aaron: and such.
Aaron: Uh, but I think I could crack this case.
Adam K: Sure. I look forward to your you cracking this one wide open
Aaron: I
Adam K: and
Aaron: have a racist
Adam K: other.
Aaron: friend who works on the Houston police force that once
Adam K: Yes.
Aaron: created a crack rock for Coolio.
Aaron: He can help me with this, I think.
Adam K: Again, I was trying to be clever by just saying crack, but, um,
Adam K: sometimes you got to just spell it out for the people.
Aaron: Yeah,
Adam K: And that's why Netflix exists.
Aaron: yeah.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: Put it
Adam K: Tell
Aaron: in
Adam K: me
Aaron: the title.
Adam K: how to feel.
Adam K: Just. Just say how you feel.
Adam K: It's easier.
Adam K: Show, don't tell or tell.
Adam K: Don't show.
Adam K: Whatever it is.
Adam K: Okay.
Adam K: I'm done.
Adam K: I'm gonna let you go.
Aaron: Good
Adam K: Okay. I'll talk to you later.
Aaron: bye.
Adam K: Bye.
