Aaron: Vacuum cleaner.
Aaron: Go back to its dock.
Adam K: It's just one of those issues
Adam K: that only twenty twenty six
Adam K: brings you.
Aaron: I just watched it slowly retreating back, thinking about
Aaron: where my life has gone.
Adam K: Did you yell at it?
Aaron: Now I just press a button on it and it gave up.
Adam K: Yeah, I pretty much kick mine.
Adam K: Now I just try to use my big toe and I hit the start button.
Adam K: And it doesn't always register it because it's like, I know
Adam K: that's a toe.
Adam K: You're supposed to finger me.
Adam K: So
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: I don't know there.
Adam K: Those roombas are particular.
Adam K: And also I think they're out of business.
Aaron: Yeah. I got three different
Aaron: brands in my house, and they all
Aaron: just bump into each other,
Aaron: swishing the dirt around and
Aaron: not.
Aaron: I don't think it really does anything.
Adam K: Roombas like the spirit airline of the the vacuum world.
Aaron: I know.
Adam K: Yeah, I watched watching a show
Adam K: yesterday and they talk about
Adam K: how they took Spirit Airlines to
Adam K: Vegas.
Adam K: And I was like, well, that jokes can't do that anymore.
Adam K: It's gone.
Aaron: Yeah, yeah.
Aaron: But it might be one of those
Aaron: things where people look back or
Aaron: even in the future, they
Aaron: understand that Spirit Airlines
Aaron: is, you know, was a shitty
Aaron: airlines like.
Adam K: Yeah. Like what?
Adam K: TWA or Pan AM?
Aaron: No, those are good airlines.
Adam K: Then why aren't they around anymore?
Aaron: Oh, probably Nixon, I don't know.
Adam K: Well, I know Pan AM had the helicopter disaster where they
Adam K: had the thing in New York where you could take a it was
Adam K: basically, you know, an air taxi from a very tall building from
Adam K: the Pan AM building over to whatever was JFK or LaGuardia
Adam K: and something messed up and killed a bunch of passengers.
Adam K: And I think the helicopter fell on the ground.
Aaron: Pan AM had a lot of disasters,
Aaron: but I think it's just because
Aaron: they were just a popular
Aaron: airline.
Adam K: Yeah. Cool logo.
Adam K: Great design.
Adam K: Kind of sad it doesn't exist anymore.
Aaron: I think that was a sore base logo.
Adam K: Yeah, it probably was then t w a like, didn't one of the one of
Adam K: them just got shot over the Atlantic Sea for no reason.
Aaron: Well, I wasn't a TWA flight.
Adam K: Was it not?
Adam K: I thought it was.
Aaron: No, I think TWA has been out of business for thirty years.
Adam K: Oh, no, I didn't say recently.
Adam K: Um, because I flew them.
Adam K: That was the first airline I flew to Europe as a kid.
Adam K: Yeah.
Adam K: And then I think a month later,
Adam K: like TWA has been shot down over
Adam K: the Atlantic.
Adam K: I'm like, I did that ride.
Aaron: Oh yeah,
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: I know.
Adam K: I was very
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: young.
Adam K: I was young, we were, I believe, reading.
Adam K: The book hatchet in third grade.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: That's my memory.
Adam K: A young man surviving in the woods after his plane goes down.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: It's all related.
Aaron: There was some book I read when I was a kid about I don't
Aaron: remember if the boat got stranded or it was the the
Aaron: airplane went down, but this kid ends up on an island and he's
Aaron: like, he's blind.
Aaron: He's not supposed to be blind.
Aaron: He, like the crash, makes him blind for some reason.
Aaron: Like he gets hit in the head by some wood or something.
Aaron: And, um, he's on the island with this guy, and he soon discovers
Aaron: that the guy is black.
Aaron: And I think it's one of these
Aaron: stories like learning to
Aaron: overcome prejudice and that sort
Aaron: of thing.
Aaron: And then there's like a hurricane that hits the island.
Aaron: And I think the the black guy dies.
Aaron: But he had made a raft for the kid before he died.
Aaron: And so then the kid goes off and or, I don't know, or sets a
Aaron: bonfire, I don't know.
Aaron: It's some story that
Adam K: Talking
Aaron: made
Adam K: about the K.
Aaron: me, made me feel really
Aaron: uncomfortable because I was
Aaron: like, did I also hurt the black
Aaron: man?
Aaron: Um.
Adam K: The story follows an eleven year old white boy named Phillip,
Adam K: who, after his ship was torpedoed in World War Two, is
Adam K: blinded by head trauma.
Adam K: He washes up on shore on a
Adam K: deserted Caribbean island with
Adam K: an elderly black sailor named
Adam K: Timothy and a cat named stew
Adam K: Cat.
Adam K: Cool,
Aaron: Damn.
Adam K: you
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: know, stranded.
Adam K: Phillip
Aaron: It's
Adam K: must
Aaron: called
Adam K: overcome
Aaron: stranded.
Adam K: his upbringing and prejudices, relying on Timothy to survive
Adam K: and eventually learn to care for himself despite his blindness.
Adam K: Jesus.
Aaron: Yeah. What was the book called?
Adam K: The k.
Aaron: The K
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: yeah,
Adam K: c a y.
Aaron: yeah,
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: yeah.
Aaron: That's because the, the black dude keeps calling it the K for
Aaron: some reason, like they're on.
Aaron: I don't know why, but, um.
Adam K: The great thing about books like
Adam K: this that have just been around
Adam K: for decades is the many
Adam K: different book cover designs
Adam K: that have
Aaron: Uh.
Adam K: come out of it.
Adam K: It's like some of them look kind of like romantic novels.
Adam K: More modern ones look kind of like an avatar movie poster.
Adam K: And then just I think the
Adam K: original one is just like a
Adam K: photo from probably the movie or
Adam K: TV show.
Aaron: I just remember I had some like pre mega people in, in my class.
Aaron: And, uh, I do remember one of
Aaron: the kids telling a teacher that
Aaron: his, his dad said the book was
Aaron: stupid.
Aaron: So obviously the, the guy he hadn't the, the, the dad hadn't
Aaron: found his platform yet, but he was ramping up to it.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: He hadn't found
Adam K: Thanks.
Aaron: his people yet.
Aaron: There
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: was no Facebook at the time.
Adam K: Well, I hope Steven turned out okay.
Aaron: Yeah. Are you talking about Crowder?
Adam K: I just said the name, I didn't I'm not in the business of
Adam K: explaining my jokes.
Aaron: Well, the, uh, that's funny,
Aaron: because not two days ago, the
Aaron: various family members from that
Aaron: family reached out to me just
Aaron: saying hello.
Aaron: And I inquired about Steven.
Adam K: We have a meme coin we'd like you to buy into because we lost
Adam K: a lot of our money.
Aaron: Well, yeah, they they said that they got an urgent message from
Aaron: Donald Trump saying that he needed he needed their help.
Aaron: Otherwise he was going to lose in November.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: Um.
Adam K: So they got they went to the National Mall and.
Aaron: Yeah. Uh, I think, uh, I don't know.
Aaron: I think there's some I think
Aaron: they're all just kind of scared
Aaron: right now.
Aaron: With Alex Jones having lost
Aaron: Infowars and being taken over by
Aaron: The Onion.
Aaron: So, you know, they're, you know,
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: they're in a precarious place.
Adam K: I'm happy about that because I
Adam K: think it's funny, but I'm also
Adam K: not the biggest Tim Heidecker
Adam K: fan.
Adam K: I can take him in small doses
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: like Tim and Eric, and, you know, Tom goes to the mayor.
Adam K: We're like the perfect amount of
Adam K: that Tim and Eric that I could
Adam K: handle.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: And, uh, I feel like if he's going to do a three hour podcast
Adam K: every day, like Alex Jones, I could see him doing it because I
Adam K: know he's a performance artist in that way.
Adam K: He did that whole like, fake court trial thing that went on
Adam K: for way too long.
Adam K: But, um, I won't be watching as
Aaron: I
Adam K: I'll.
Aaron: try.
Aaron: I tried watching a bit and I was
Aaron: like, it started off really
Aaron: strong the first two or three
Aaron: minutes.
Aaron: And then it went to this like interview with I recognized one
Aaron: of the guys from the onion.
Aaron: He was one of the, uh, the, the kind of today show news anchors
Aaron: that, that the chat show guy that be like, so Timothy, tell
Aaron: me, you know, about what it was like to be stranded like he was
Aaron: it was him and that woman.
Aaron: Anyway, uh, the guy from that being interviewed or he was
Aaron: interviewing some supposed to be like a right winger type.
Aaron: And it started off kind of, you
Aaron: know, it's very dry, very tongue
Aaron: in cheek and, and, you know,
Aaron: funny.
Aaron: And then it just you get the
Aaron: joke and you're like, yeah, I
Aaron: get it.
Aaron: The they're lampshading how ridiculous everything is.
Aaron: And then
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: you just kind of then it becomes tedious.
Aaron: And
Adam K: Right.
Aaron: I was like, this interview has how much longer to go?
Aaron: And then the whole thing is an hour long or whatever it is.
Aaron: And I was like,
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: yeah, I'll check back on this.
Aaron: Once they once they realize that the viewer drop off at minute
Aaron: three or whatever it is.
Adam K: Yeah. I don't know, whatever.
Adam K: It's going to a great cause.
Adam K: So that's all that really matters.
Aaron: I
Adam K: Speaking.
Aaron: would, I'm sorry.
Adam K: Okay,
Aaron: Go ahead.
Adam K: now you go ahead and you tell me what you're going
Aaron: No,
Adam K: to
Aaron: I
Adam K: say.
Aaron: was just going to say like, if it was onion type videos in the
Aaron: vein of how they were ten or fifteen years ago, then it might
Aaron: keep my attention, but
Adam K: Even new onion videos are good.
Aaron: I know even.
Aaron: Yeah. right.
Aaron: Sorry.
Aaron: Yeah, well, I was just thinking of that one guy that was from
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: those old onion videos
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: and.
Adam K: But
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: just when they would hit perfect, I don't know.
Adam K: That's when satire was still a thing.
Adam K: So, um, anyway, I can talk about my court trial now, though.
Aaron: Yeah, yeah.
Aaron: I
Adam K: I'm
Aaron: want
Adam K: all
Aaron: to
Adam K: done, I
Aaron: I
Adam K: did it.
Aaron: want to hear about how guilty were they?
Adam K: I knew the last time we were talking and I said, I never get
Adam K: picked for court.
Adam K: This was this was going to be the one.
Adam K: I completely jinxed it.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: So, um, yeah, it was a civil case and had no business being
Adam K: having a jury.
Adam K: It was a complete waste of time.
Adam K: It was basically somebody taking advantage of the Covid, uh,
Adam K: moratorium on rent and extending it as long as possible.
Adam K: And then a landlord that was
Adam K: recently acquired by BlackRock
Adam K: seeking like something over one
Adam K: hundred thousand dollars in
Adam K: unpaid rent.
Adam K: She hadn't paid rent in four
Adam K: years and eight months or three
Adam K: years and eight months, almost
Adam K: four
Aaron: How
Adam K: years.
Aaron: the fuck.
Adam K: And it was a six thousand dollars a month penthouse like
Adam K: in Beverly Hills.
Adam K: And it was the most frustrating
Adam K: thing in all of it was the
Adam K: defendant, um, didn't have a
Adam K: lawyer.
Adam K: So she, you know, she represented herself and did not
Adam K: know how to do so and would keep asking the judge, can I do this?
Adam K: Is this okay?
Adam K: And she would say, objection.
Adam K: And just arguing with the judge and judge
Aaron: Was she
Adam K: like.
Aaron: a sovereign citizen?
Adam K: That was never made clear, but I think so.
Aaron: Did she say I'm here on special appearance?
Aaron: When
Adam K: She
Aaron: she
Adam K: said,
Aaron: first.
Adam K: I think the idea was to show that she didn't have any money.
Aaron: Huh?
Adam K: And she's like, I can't like, I can't afford a lawyer.
Adam K: I can't do this.
Adam K: Except she had three other lawsuits pending, one of which
Adam K: was a personal injury suit against the people suing her.
Aaron: Okay.
Adam K: So it was it was just this like, I'm like, I'm there are no
Adam K: winners in any of this.
Adam K: I don't want I don't want BlackRock making any more money
Adam K: than they already do.
Adam K: They're, they're fine.
Adam K: But also this person should be paying the rent.
Adam K: And
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: they're taking advantage of a
Adam K: system that most of the jurors
Adam K: were like pissed off because
Adam K: they're like, I wish I'd known
Adam K: about this.
Adam K: Why did I have to pay my rent all these years?
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: So they're, they're like, yeah, she's smart, but at the same
Adam K: time, she's an adult and should pay her own damn rent.
Adam K: And like, people are just mad at her.
Adam K: I thought there'd be more like
Adam K: uniformity of everyone coming
Adam K: together and be like, hey,
Adam K: let's, let's try to help each
Adam K: other.
Adam K: Let's, let's fight against the big companies that are like, oh,
Adam K: fuck this bitch.
Adam K: Like, damn, they
Aaron: But that's
Adam K: were,
Aaron: the that's
Adam K: they
Aaron: the kind
Adam K: were
Aaron: of
Adam K: mad.
Aaron: thing that turns people against California.
Aaron: You know, like it's that kind of it's, it's that stereotype that
Aaron: people go like, oh, fucking squatter, blah, blah, blah, you
Aaron: know, and that's what makes them support big business.
Adam K: Yeah. I guess.
Adam K: I mean, I don't know.
Adam K: There was just.
Adam K: Most of the the other problem
Adam K: too, was it dragged on for way
Adam K: too long and went three days and
Adam K: it
Aaron: So
Adam K: didn't
Aaron: people
Adam K: need
Aaron: were just
Adam K: to.
Aaron: pissed off at her.
Adam K: Yeah. Because she was cross-examining all the, the
Adam K: witnesses, uh, and didn't know which questions to ask.
Adam K: And in the middle of the whole thing would ask to like enter
Adam K: stuff into evidence.
Adam K: And they're like.
Aaron: If you were, say, representing yourself in a civil court, what
Aaron: would you ask?
Aaron: You.
Adam K: You are not far off.
Adam K: Like one of the questions was
Adam K: she was asking, it was on a Zoom
Adam K: call.
Adam K: This, this poor woman from like
Adam K: Michigan who was like, uh, she
Adam K: was the one who works remote and
Adam K: handles the paperwork or
Adam K: whatever.
Adam K: And so she's being asked by the
Adam K: defendant, do you, do you think
Adam K: law and agreements are
Adam K: different?
Adam K: And the woman froze and stared
Adam K: at the camera and was like, I
Adam K: what?
Adam K: Uh. And then finally, you know, some plaintiff goes.
Adam K: Objection is sustained.
Adam K: Just.
Adam K: Holy crap.
Adam K: It was just it was a lot of that.
Adam K: Um, and, and then it got really
Adam K: emotional at one point because
Adam K: the defendant would go on the
Adam K: stand and she'd start crying,
Adam K: but she wouldn't answer
Adam K: questions.
Adam K: It was she was really unclear.
Adam K: She kept saying how her business
Adam K: was affected by Covid, but she
Adam K: wouldn't exactly say what her
Adam K: business did.
Aaron: Her wearable flowers business.
Adam K: She was a tour guide for people who wanted to visit Los Angeles,
Adam K: but she couldn't be.
Adam K: That was about as much detail as we got, and they said, well, how
Adam K: much were you making from that?
Adam K: She's like, I don't know, six thousand dollars a month maybe.
Adam K: Like, so you're a business owner, but you don't know how
Adam K: much money you're making.
Adam K: So it just it all, none of it felt genuine.
Adam K: Like, had she just come in there and said like, yeah, I, I had a
Adam K: kid during Covid, my, my husband and I separated and I got stuck
Adam K: in this expensive apartment and I can't pay it.
Adam K: I couldn't pay that money.
Adam K: And
Aaron: Oh,
Adam K: I'm
Aaron: that's
Adam K: just,
Aaron: what happened.
Adam K: that's pretty much the, that was her story.
Aaron: Okay.
Adam K: Um, but it just got more complicated than that because so
Adam K: I didn't know this and maybe this is just a California thing.
Adam K: If you owe a bunch of money on back rent and you pay off, you
Adam K: pay a month, like say, you know, you, you, Aaron, oh, whatever,
Adam K: fifty grand in rent for the year, you didn't pay.
Adam K: And then
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: your landlord accepts a monthly
Adam K: payment that undoes every, every
Adam K: previous rent.
Aaron: What do you mean, undoes every previous.
Adam K: It basically like you, you are you as a landlord are forgiving
Adam K: whatever you didn't pay.
Adam K: That's some like weird LA or California loophole.
Aaron: Forgiving or it starts over in like the.
Aaron: The pursuit
Adam K: It's
Aaron: of
Adam K: essentially
Aaron: the.
Adam K: forgiven.
Adam K: That was my understanding, or at least how they were.
Adam K: They were selling it because she kept trying to pay like a month.
Adam K: She was like, okay, I'm here for to pay April.
Adam K: Like, no, you owe us seventy thousand dollars.
Adam K: She's like, no, but I have the money for April because she
Adam K: somehow knew this law.
Adam K: And
Aaron: Oh.
Adam K: I was like, damn, she's smart.
Adam K: That's cool.
Aaron: She knew the one law, but none.
Aaron: None of the other laws to represent herself.
Adam K: Yeah. She didn't know how to represent herself well at all.
Adam K: And it there was just a lot of
Adam K: sidebars, a lot of us, the jury
Adam K: being dismissed.
Adam K: Um, but yeah, it just, it went
Adam K: on for way too long for what it
Adam K: needed to.
Adam K: And we were in there
Adam K: deliberating longer than the OJ
Adam K: jurors.
Adam K: They were only in there for forty five minutes.
Adam K: We were there for like an hour and a half.
Aaron: But weren't they under like sequestering for, I don't know,
Adam K: Eight months.
Aaron: two years or something
Adam K: I
Aaron: like
Adam K: had
Aaron: that.
Adam K: a lot of time to look up more interesting court cases,
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: and I. I have queued up a few good men.
Aaron: My cousin Vinny.
Adam K: That was the other one.
Adam K: And I mean, I'll just watch To Kill a Mockingbird.
Adam K: Why not?
Adam K: Just anything is better than
Adam K: someone asking a long winded
Adam K: question and the judge just
Adam K: going.
Adam K: Sustained.
Aaron: Man.
Adam K: Ignore that.
Adam K: Ignore everything that person just said anyway.
Aaron: How much?
Aaron: How much did you get paid?
Adam K: Uh, well, the money's in the
Adam K: mail, but it's fifteen dollars a
Adam K: day, and they gave me a
Adam K: MetroCard.
Aaron: A MetroCard, didn't
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: you park there?
Adam K: well, I didn't have the car, and I live close enough to one of
Adam K: the rail lines, so I was like, yeah, that's fine.
Adam K: Get my daily walk in.
Adam K: I was getting like eleven thousand steps in a day.
Adam K: It was
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: nice.
Aaron: You don't live that close.
Aaron: That was a. Well, I guess I was
Aaron: just thinking more from a a
Aaron: Texas perspective.
Aaron: I was like, there's a lot of walking.
Aaron: I remembered
Adam K: Right?
Aaron: that Metro.
Adam K: Because Texas doesn't really have sidewalks the way.
Adam K: I mean, LA is not much better.
Aaron: Right?
Adam K: It's.
Aaron: Yeah. La the the public
Aaron: transportation haven of the
Aaron: world.
Adam K: Not even I mean, it's man, it's trying, but it's depressing.
Adam K: But yeah, I was surprisingly able to get there and like, you
Adam K: know, forty minutes if I caught all the right trains and there
Adam K: was no delay and the masturbating homeless guy was
Adam K: nice enough to, you know, be in a car by himself.
Aaron: The competing masturbating guy on the train.
Adam K: He's like, going to jury duty.
Adam K: See you there.
Aaron: Rub one out so I can be clear minded for the case.
Adam K: Yeah. My, my favorite thing, though, in all of it was it's
Adam K: the jury selection and it's the people just squirming, trying to
Adam K: get out in any way possible.
Adam K: And just the most asinine, just
Adam K: like one person's like, I'm a
Adam K: psychologist.
Adam K: I know how brains work.
Adam K: Okay.
Adam K: Goodbye.
Aaron: Someone said that.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: So you can hear what everyone else is saying as they're trying
Aaron: to get out of it.
Aaron: You can hear all
Adam K: Oh, yeah.
Aaron: the fake
Adam K: I
Aaron: racist
Adam K: just I
Aaron: stuff.
Adam K: had to sit through all that.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: Yeah. Hear how they like, are curious about pedophilia, but
Aaron: haven't done it yet, and
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: that sort of stuff.
Adam K: I learned the trick, though, because you don't have to say.
Adam K: You don't have to say the thing to get you out of it.
Adam K: All you have to say is the thing
Adam K: that you know will get you out
Adam K: of it.
Adam K: So I could have just said, oh yeah, I'm a landlord, I own I,
Adam K: you know, I rent out or I in the past I was a landlord and I
Adam K: rented out, you know, I, I sublease or whatever.
Adam K: And they'd be like, will this
Adam K: affect your ability to be a
Adam K: jerk?
Adam K: Oh, no, I'm very fair.
Adam K: And they'll go, you're dismissed.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: That's all you got to do.
Adam K: You
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: don't have to be
Aaron: Reverse
Adam K: like,
Aaron: psychology.
Adam K: you can't, you can't go in there
Adam K: and be like, I just, I hate law
Adam K: and my my son was once arrested
Adam K: and, um, there was a gun
Adam K: involved.
Adam K: And then, you know, we had, we
Adam K: were in this courthouse and I
Adam K: think I saw the judge, like
Adam K: that's a real thing that
Adam K: happened.
Adam K: Um, that happened the first day because the guy just really
Adam K: wanted to get out.
Adam K: So they, they moved it to an alternate.
Adam K: But anyway, that's my, my experience with court.
Adam K: That's all I'll ever talk about it.
Adam K: It was terrible.
Aaron: Oh, I
Adam K: Um.
Aaron: just say I want to administer justice.
Adam K: This was not justice.
Adam K: This was a civil court.
Adam K: There.
Aaron: I, I wouldn't
Adam K: Justice
Aaron: care.
Adam K: would have been this you all you
Adam K: people need to pay whatever
Adam K: taxpayer money you stole today
Adam K: and pay it back, because you're
Adam K: all just wasting everyone's
Adam K: time.
Adam K: Um, the jurors really cool, though.
Adam K: They were really nice.
Adam K: You know, we we finally got to talk on the last day because
Adam K: you're not even, like, really allowed to look at each other.
Adam K: So.
Aaron: So every day you don't have like a debrief.
Aaron: You just, you talk
Adam K: Um,
Aaron: at the end of it, I guess I knew that.
Adam K: yeah, that's, that was the first time I heard any, like, really
Adam K: any of their voices.
Adam K: It was kind of weird, but they were all.
Adam K: It was a nice, uh, nice variety of people.
Adam K: It was like reliving through the K.
Aaron: But but yeah, you got the one
Aaron: guy say, well, you haven't read
Aaron: it,
Adam K: There
Aaron: but
Adam K: was
Aaron: he's
Adam K: the blind
Aaron: like,
Adam K: racist kid.
Aaron: yeah.
Adam K: He had just he got hit on the metro and, you know, he learned
Adam K: something along the way.
Adam K: And that was really nice.
Aaron: It would be amazing if it was eleven blind white jurors and
Aaron: one black guy who is desperately trying to not be found out that
Aaron: he's a black guy, and that all the jurors in the deliberation
Aaron: are like, that guy fucking did it, didn't he?
Aaron: Right.
Aaron: I'm not saying all this racist
Aaron: stuff and and the black guys
Aaron: like.
Aaron: Mhm mhm
Adam K: I
Aaron: mhm
Adam K: think you
Aaron: mhm
Adam K: you
Aaron: mhm.
Adam K: found your calling to rewrite the K, which
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: is probably in public domain, but now you're going to set it
Adam K: up as a court trial.
Aaron: Yeah. I'm going to go reread that book.
Aaron: And I'm sure like at the time when I was a kid, I was like,
Aaron: oh, this is very meaty.
Aaron: And then when I reread it, it's like
Adam K: Ninety
Aaron: he
Adam K: pages.
Aaron: was blind.
Aaron: That
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: was no good.
Aaron: And he was black, you know?
Aaron: And you're like, oh yeah, that's it's about the,
Adam K: I
Aaron: uh,
Adam K: thought
Aaron: prose
Adam K: I thought
Aaron: level.
Adam K: the kid's blind, right?
Aaron: What?
Aaron: Yeah, the kid's blind.
Aaron: He gets hit
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: in the head by, like, some driftwood or something,
Adam K: Right.
Aaron: as
Adam K: I'm just.
Aaron: I said.
Adam K: I'm.
Adam K: I'm trying to extrapolate all this from the cover, because
Adam K: sometimes he looks like a little Aryan prince, and
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: then other times he's just kind of a normal looking child.
Adam K: And then what I assume is a still from the made for TV show.
Aaron: If I remember correctly, the black man, they made him look
Aaron: like Uncle Ben.
Adam K: Yes.
Aaron: Okay. Yes.
Adam K: That's the was that the TV movie?
Aaron: No, I think that was the book cover.
Aaron: I think from what I remember,
Adam K: Which
Aaron: I
Adam K: I'm
Aaron: remember
Adam K: saying
Aaron: even
Adam K: it looks
Aaron: as a
Adam K: like
Aaron: kid,
Adam K: a
Aaron: I
Adam K: nineteen
Aaron: was like,
Adam K: seventies movie thing or something.
Aaron: oh yeah, they may have made a TV
Aaron: movie or something out of it,
Aaron: but, um,
Adam K: Oh
Aaron: I
Adam K: yeah.
Aaron: definitely
Adam K: Nineteen seventy four.
Aaron: feel
Adam K: Absolutely.
Aaron: like this is Uncle Ben.
Aaron: Uncle Ben's on the island with this.
Aaron: This blind white kid.
Adam K: The entire movie is on YouTube.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: They're just kind of filming it.
Adam K: It looks like at a Florida beach.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: Uh, there's Epstein kids.
Aaron: And then I remember they made him talk like like I. I think
Aaron: it's supposed to take place in the nineteen forties or
Aaron: something, but he talked like it was like a southern plantation
Aaron: in the eighteen fifties.
Aaron: And he's like, I thought that's
Aaron: what maybe I'm mixing up
Aaron: Huckleberry Finn, but I could
Aaron: have sworn that's how he was
Aaron: written.
Aaron: And I was like, this is a little hard to read.
Adam K: Uh, I think it's James.
Adam K: Earl Jones is in it.
Aaron: No.
Adam K: Anyway, well, if you want to
Adam K: watch it for free, it's on the
Adam K: Teen Wolf, the movie YouTube
Adam K: channel.
Aaron: Okay, I'll give it a look.
Adam K: Yeah, I think it's worth.
Adam K: It's worth just, you know,
Adam K: looking at I already found the
Adam K: still for the thumbnail, so I'm
Adam K: good.
Aaron: All right.
Aaron: Good.
Adam K: Yeah, man, you gave me something to do.
Adam K: My that's going to be my courtroom inspired viewing the K
Adam K: from nineteen seventy four.
Aaron: I think, Your Honor, if the K
Aaron: taught us anything, is that when
Aaron: you are in your penthouse owing
Aaron: a lot of money, shouldn't you be
Aaron: blind to the fact that you owe
Aaron: that money?
Adam K: Justice is blind is.
Adam K: And so is that little cracker from the K. I rest my case.
Aaron: Isn't BlackRock like Timothy in
Aaron: this case, uh, trying to, uh,
Aaron: make me give up my my white
Aaron: heritage?
Aaron: No, I don't know what the.
Adam K: My takeaway was everyone looked like a sad turtle.
Adam K: I think that's what the law does to people.
Aaron: Oh, the defendant looked like a sad turtle.
Adam K: And,
Aaron: Or the jurors.
Adam K: well, the plaintiff, the plaintiff looked like a smug
Adam K: turtle, and the defendant looked like a sad turtle.
Aaron: MM.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: And the plaintiff wasn't BlackRock.
Adam K: No, it was a subsidiary.
Adam K: But, I mean, like, I might be a subsidiary of BlackRock.
Aaron: Greystone.
Adam K: That's a good joke.
Adam K: Save
Aaron: Thank
Adam K: it.
Aaron: you.
Adam K: Save it for the stand up.
Adam K: Oof!
Adam K: Safe.
Adam K: Brand
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: safe after all your other racist humor.
Aaron: Uh, I was trying to.
Aaron: My brain isn't working today, so I couldn't make it good.
Aaron: Strong racial humor.
Aaron: It
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: would have just been lazy racial
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: humor, which some people would just say is, is called racism.
Aaron: So I tried to stay away from that.
Adam K: I guess there's some leeway because you're from the South
Adam K: and, like the bat.
Adam K: No, you're not from the Bad
Adam K: South, but so, like, you know
Adam K: better.
Adam K: But, you know, I imagine every once in a while something slips.
Aaron: Uh, no.
Adam K: A couple
Aaron: Not
Adam K: beers.
Aaron: you imagine
Adam K: It's okay.
Aaron: incorrectly.
Adam K: No, I'm sure you know, you're at a grocery store and just shout
Adam K: something that you didn't.
Adam K: You know, it's just from your child.
Adam K: It's your dad talking, you know, or even your grandfather.
Adam K: Great grandfather,
Aaron: No,
Adam K: whatever.
Aaron: I do the I do the exact opposite.
Aaron: I I'll see like some mousy white man and I'll be like, look at
Aaron: this fucking white asshole.
Aaron: This guy's so fucking white.
Aaron: And then, you know, Mika or
Aaron: someone will be like, Aaron,
Aaron: you're white.
Aaron: And I'll be like, but not like that.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: And then and then the twist is it was exactly like that.
Adam K: Is that the plot of the K?
Aaron: That is actually the the white kid.
Aaron: He gets hit on the head and he goes blind, but he has amnesia
Aaron: and he thinks he's black.
Aaron: And he is like trying to relate to Timothy the entire time.
Aaron: And Timothy is like trying to
Aaron: convince him like, no, you don't
Aaron: understand.
Aaron: As soon as you get your sight
Aaron: back, you're going to see he's
Aaron: like, no, no, no, no. I'm with
Aaron: you, brother.
Aaron: I'm I feel your pain and Timothy
Aaron: the entire time, just like,
Aaron: fuck.
Aaron: And then the hurricane kills Timothy.
Aaron: And then, um, and then the story, uh, it resolves as it
Aaron: should with the, the white kid getting his vision back and
Aaron: having learned absolutely nothing from his experience.
Adam K: And he checks into his Hitler Youth administrator.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Yeah. I'm back.
Adam K: Timothy's back!
Adam K: Everybody!
Adam K: Yay!
Adam K: It
Aaron: That was
Adam K: had
Aaron: a long vacation.
Adam K: had Chappelle show been on for one more season.
Adam K: I think that would have made it.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: I think they would not have laughed you out of the writers
Adam K: room and been like, let's give the kid a try.
Aaron: Do you remember that hit book, the K?
Aaron: Well, have I got a sketch?
Adam K: You're not Bill Burr. Get out!
Aaron: Uh.
Adam K: You can't be here.
Adam K: So you're writing a piece about right to repair.
Aaron: Yeah, there's some, um, uh,
Aaron: there's some things I, I want to
Aaron: touch on.
Aaron: I kind of like, it's weird because some of that the right
Aaron: to repair stuff.
Aaron: It's already.
Aaron: Okay.
Aaron: So what happens?
Aaron: I, I would say in the automotive
Aaron: world, but also probably in a
Aaron: lot of goods is that the luxury
Aaron: items dictate what will
Aaron: eventually happen to the
Aaron: everyday schmuck items that we
Aaron: get.
Aaron: Right?
Aaron: So like, yes.
Aaron: Uh, so for years, if you took
Aaron: your Lamborghini, tried to take
Aaron: your Lamborghini into a
Aaron: boutique, smaller repair shop,
Aaron: they would be like, well, we
Aaron: know how to fix it, but we don't
Aaron: have the proprietary Computer
Aaron: thing to reset the codes
Aaron: afterwards.
Aaron: So you'll have this fixed thing, but it'll still have a check
Aaron: engine light, for instance, or, you know, whatever the case is.
Aaron: So that forces you to then, well, it forces you to either go
Aaron: to a Lamborghini dealership or it forces these smaller, uh,
Aaron: repair shops to invest in this like crazy expensive equipment
Aaron: that they might not see a return on for years, if at all.
Aaron: All that stuff.
Aaron: So anyway, that was how it's
Aaron: been for the last ten, fifteen
Aaron: years, fifteen years or
Aaron: something.
Aaron: So then it starts coming down to, you know, Ford and Chevy and
Aaron: Kia and whatever else where like, you can't just, you can't
Aaron: fix it yourself.
Aaron: And then you can't go to a smaller shop.
Aaron: So it stays within the dealer ecosystem.
Aaron: So this is like this dangerous thing that's happening.
Aaron: And it's not just cars, obviously, but I wanted to go
Aaron: into like the, um, the freedom aspect of it and also the
Aaron: existential satisfaction of knowing how your world works,
Aaron: which is that's kind of the gayer part of it.
Aaron: But the, the, the freedom part of it is very real of like, it
Aaron: goes back to like with Musk's cars and how he can turn off
Aaron: your battery from afar and
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: all these things.
Aaron: Like there's a, there's a freedom you get from
Aaron: understanding and being able to fix something yourself.
Aaron: Um.
Adam K: But I mean, I guess what you're kind of describing too, is that
Adam K: like general consumer products have become more complicated
Adam K: because on, in, in some cases, they've become easier to use.
Adam K: So early cars, you know, stick shift, no power steering, no
Adam K: navigation, no back up camera.
Adam K: Those are all pretty standard
Adam K: these days, but it adds extra
Adam K: complications to the production
Adam K: process and to the repair
Adam K: process.
Adam K: Right?
Aaron: It. I mean, it does, but we're talking about a whole nother
Aaron: level of stuff.
Aaron: So of, of complications.
Aaron: So imagine your computer like
Aaron: you're trying to fix your
Aaron: computer, but there is a, um, to
Aaron: the, to the OS, there's an
Aaron: additional firewall to where you
Aaron: can't even get into the
Aaron: terminal, you
Adam K: Right.
Aaron: know, so it's like, you know, how to put in the bash command
Aaron: to install this thing or fix this thing or whatever, blah,
Aaron: blah, blah, but you can't even get to the terminal.
Aaron: So in a car, for instance, say
Aaron: you want say you have a check
Aaron: engine light.
Aaron: Uh, we'll go back to Lamborghini because I'm not sure if Ford has
Aaron: quite gotten this.
Aaron: I have to look this up.
Aaron: It's quite gotten to this point.
Aaron: But like, in order to even
Aaron: understand what a, what the code
Aaron: is or to diagnose a particular
Aaron: thing.
Aaron: You have to have the special software to be able to look at.
Aaron: And then if you do fix it, you
Aaron: have to have the special
Aaron: software to be able to reset the
Aaron: code.
Aaron: So it's not like you don't
Aaron: understand how a reverse camera
Aaron: like is wired in or anything
Aaron: like that.
Aaron: It's just there are these
Aaron: proprietary layers that are put
Aaron: there purposely to prevent you
Aaron: from addressing it and fixing it
Aaron: yourself.
Adam K: Yeah. I mean, I really there's, I had, uh, did an Indiegogo
Adam K: support thing a while ago where I backed this really cool
Adam K: looking universal remote.
Adam K: It was this thing company
Aaron: I remember
Adam K: called
Aaron: you talking about
Adam K: yeah,
Aaron: this.
Adam K: seven hugs or whatever it was called.
Adam K: I was like, yeah, this is kind of cool.
Adam K: It's, it's pretty modern for what it was like, you just kind
Adam K: of point at the thing you wanted to change and it will know that
Adam K: it's like looking at it.
Adam K: I was like, that's kind of cool.
Adam K: Uh, they stopped supporting it.
Adam K: And then sometime around Covid, they shut it down and they just
Adam K: deleted everything and said, like, this thing's bricked its
Adam K: garbage, throw it away.
Adam K: And I was like that.
Adam K: And so there's nothing you can
Adam K: do about it now because they I
Adam K: think they just threw the source
Adam K: code away.
Adam K: So I just, I remember this because I was cleaning out my
Adam K: drawer the other day, and I still have it.
Adam K: Like part of me still has hope that someone's going to hack it
Adam K: or Claude, you know, mythos or fable can figure this thing out.
Adam K: So, um, I'm yeah, I'm I'm against that.
Adam K: I think it's stupid.
Adam K: I just, I know cars is more of your world.
Aaron: Well, I mean, it's it's just it's a wasteful thing.
Aaron: Obviously that's the obvious deal.
Aaron: But like, I don't subscribe to
Aaron: the thing that you'll see like
Aaron: older, um, older, like dudes in
Aaron: the hobby say about like, you
Aaron: know, one day someone's going to
Aaron: want to restore this, you know,
Aaron: twenty twenty five Ford Mustang
Aaron: Mustang, but they won't know all
Aaron: the computers.
Aaron: It's like, no, I mean, in the sixties when fuel injection was
Aaron: coming out or, you know, like mechanical fuel injection over
Aaron: carburation, there were people then being like, how the fuck
Aaron: are people going to do?
Aaron: It's a carburetor.
Aaron: You can rebuild this fuel injection stuff has all this
Aaron: other, you know, and now you look at those engines and you're
Aaron: just like, this is, you know, there are more complicated
Aaron: things on my desk, but, um, similar with like computers,
Aaron: like we, you're going to be able to figure it out.
Aaron: Like it, it'll in the future, it'll look like simple crap.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: But the thing that changes that
Aaron: if there's this added layer
Aaron: because, you know, Bill Ford's
Aaron: ghost decided that, you know,
Aaron: you need to have this extra
Aaron: crap, so you had to take it to
Aaron: the dealer.
Aaron: That's what will fuck everything up.
Adam K: Oh yeah.
Adam K: No, it's it's the whole thing of
Adam K: like they're taking was it Apple
Adam K: CarPlay or whatever out of the
Adam K: infotainment thing?
Adam K: Because even that's too much for them.
Adam K: They're like or like.
Adam K: BMW wants you to give them more money to, you know, have a
Adam K: heated seat or, you know, to unlock that extra horsepower.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: It's stupid stuff like that.
Adam K: I don't know, I was actually looking at the slate, uh,
Adam K: electric truck over the weekend.
Adam K: Not that I'm
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: going to buy one, but it's coming out soon.
Adam K: What are your thoughts on that thing?
Aaron: Well, if it if it is what it
Aaron: purports to be, like an actual
Aaron: kind of modular thing, that's
Aaron: cool.
Aaron: I have my doubts because one, Bezos is backing it, Bezos.
Aaron: But also some of the things they're doing, like, okay, if
Aaron: you want a radio in it.
Aaron: So they're trying to keep it
Aaron: below a certain price point or
Aaron: whatever.
Aaron: But
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: if you want a radio in it, you just, you basically just put a
Aaron: speaker in it, like a, like a Bluetooth like boombox speaker,
Aaron: you know, that you would have
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: for a cookout
Adam K: that's
Aaron: or something.
Adam K: exactly what they say.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: And there's stuff like that.
Aaron: And I just, I don't know, I don't and maybe that's how it is
Aaron: in the US because it costs more to make things because we're not
Aaron: using child labor and, and slavery and things like that.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: But,
Adam K: Real shame.
Aaron: but as cool as the slave truck is, I can't help but see what
Aaron: China is doing with their.
Aaron: I mean, there's the bids, but
Adam K: With
Aaron: also
Adam K: their slave
Aaron: the,
Adam K: labor,
Aaron: the what?
Adam K: with their child labor and
Aaron: Well,
Adam K: their slave
Aaron: I mean, that's
Adam K: labor.
Aaron: what exactly like, you know, it's part of their, the reason
Aaron: why things are so cheap, but like, okay, slave truck is cool,
Aaron: but if it's still twenty five grand and you have to put your
Aaron: own, your phone is your radio or something like that.
Aaron: And then a ten thousand dollar
Aaron: Chinese BYD comes and it has
Aaron: Bluetooth and all this other
Aaron: stuff.
Aaron: And it's not wind up, it's not
Aaron: hand-cranked windows and
Aaron: everything.
Aaron: Like people are going to go like, well, the People's
Aaron: Republic of China looks pretty good right now, you know,
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: and.
Adam K: I was just thinking of your the mindset of if there's less to
Adam K: repair, do you have I don't I like I don't know anything about
Adam K: electric cars, let alone, you know, combustion cars, but would
Adam K: theoretically something like the slate be ideally more some a
Adam K: little easier to repair, right.
Adam K: Because there's just less in it.
Aaron: I
Adam K: I don't know.
Aaron: guess, but since it's entirely electric, so you there's that
Aaron: kind of issue
Adam K: The battery
Aaron: of
Adam K: dies, the car dies, basically.
Aaron: that. Yeah. But I mean, that's, that is what it is.
Aaron: But it's, it's, there is a danger to dealing with.
Aaron: And maybe it's my lack of knowledge, but from what I
Aaron: understand, dealing with the, the electrical components and
Aaron: the enormous battery is, is a not for the inexperience.
Aaron: Like you can kind of like it's,
Aaron: it's not hard, but it is hard
Aaron: to, like, fuck up an internal
Aaron: combustion engine.
Aaron: Like it's pretty robust and all that.
Aaron: And it like if you touch a spot on the engine or whatever,
Aaron: chances are it's not going to kill you or it might burn you if
Aaron: it's been running.
Aaron: But like with a battery pack and, you know, things wired in
Aaron: parallel and series, all that stuff, if you don't know what
Aaron: you're doing, yeah, you might end up like one of those, like
Aaron: people in India who's riding on top of the train and like
Aaron: reaches their arms up and then they and then they feel
Adam K: Or any one
Aaron: the
Adam K: of
Aaron: hand
Adam K: our fathers
Aaron: of God.
Adam K: moving a mattress on top of their sedan.
Aaron: Right.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: So, uh, yeah, I don't know if that makes slight truck easier
Aaron: to work on.
Aaron: In
Adam K: I
Aaron: fact,
Adam K: don't
Aaron: that's
Adam K: know.
Adam K: You
Aaron: a great
Adam K: know,
Aaron: thing to look into for my article,
Adam K: every,
Aaron: but.
Adam K: every video I've seen of people trying to build their own backup
Adam K: batteries and stuff, it does always come with the caveat of
Adam K: like, hey, if you don't know what you're doing with
Adam K: electricity, maybe don't do this because you'll die.
Adam K: And.
Aaron: Yeah, electricity is still a mystery to me
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: as much as.
Aaron: I mean, I've I've wired up cars and done full wiring harnesses
Aaron: and all this stuff.
Aaron: And then like, I'll do something
Aaron: and I'll be like, why is this
Aaron: sparking?
Aaron: I don't understand.
Aaron: And, uh, then I'll, you know,
Aaron: I'll get some help from someone
Aaron: who, who understands electricity
Aaron: and they'll be like, what are
Aaron: you doing?
Aaron: Turning a positive into this
Aaron: ground from a six volt to a
Aaron: twelve volt.
Aaron: And I'll be like, I don't know, what are you talking about?
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: I don't
Adam K: I
Aaron: know what
Adam K: just
Aaron: the hell you're saying.
Adam K: it's all copper.
Adam K: Why
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: don't I just tie it all together?
Adam K: Why does I.
Aaron: They're distracting me while their friend steals the copper
Aaron: out of my out
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: of my
Adam K: I
Aaron: house.
Adam K: threw some dirt on it.
Adam K: It's grounded.
Adam K: I fixed it like you're gonna die.
Aaron: Yeah, that's.
Adam K: You you are.
Adam K: Yeah. You're actually.
Adam K: You are dead.
Adam K: This is this is purgatory.
Aaron: This is a dream you're having
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: as
Adam K: You
Aaron: you die.
Adam K: you killed yourself trying to wire a Chinese radio to your
Adam K: Frankenstein Karmann Ghia.
Aaron: That's the thing though, is
Aaron: like, you'd be like, I think I'm
Aaron: gonna go work on the slate truck
Aaron: today, and you touch a wrench to
Aaron: it, and suddenly you're talking
Aaron: to like your great, great great
Aaron: grandfather and you're like,
Aaron: wait, what the fuck is what
Aaron: happened?
Adam K: I don't know, I, I liked the just like you were talking about
Adam K: the roll up windows.
Adam K: You know, the manual windows.
Adam K: Something about me likes that.
Adam K: Just the fact that Tesla needed an update to where if the cars
Adam K: completely submerged in water, the doors will automatically
Adam K: open because so many people were dying because they couldn't they
Adam K: couldn't open the windows or
Aaron: Look,
Adam K: open
Aaron: I,
Adam K: the door.
Aaron: I like it too.
Aaron: Like I really like it.
Aaron: The thing is, is I have the
Aaron: feeling with the slate truck,
Aaron: what would make the slate truck
Aaron: cool is like, look, here's this
Aaron: thing.
Aaron: It's got all the modern safety that you need.
Aaron: But it's like something that was built in the early nineties and
Aaron: in the sense that you, you'll be able to have this truck for
Aaron: forty years and you can do whatever you need to do with it.
Adam K: Ten.
Aaron: Blah, blah, blah.
Aaron: But
Adam K: Ten at most.
Aaron: well,
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: I, I know that's the problem though.
Aaron: It's like
Adam K: Um.
Aaron: there's still the planned obsolescence.
Aaron: Uh, that, that is built into it.
Aaron: It's just like sucks.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: And maybe that there's a, I
Aaron: don't know, at that point, I
Aaron: just go like, why don't I just
Aaron: put a roll cage in an old Volvo
Aaron: or something?
Adam K: And run it on peanut oil.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Yeah. No, I mean, like they, I've seen the design or the it's
Adam K: sort of a proof of concept or maybe some cars are actually
Adam K: doing this where they just, it's almost like Legos where they
Adam K: just swap the battery out and just put it in a new one.
Adam K: It's supposed to be like a fast charge alternative, which is
Adam K: just completely wasteful.
Adam K: Um, I mean, they're not throwing the batteries away.
Adam K: They're just recharging them.
Adam K: But it's like, Maybe there's a middle ground of, well, the
Adam K: slate truck can have it.
Adam K: You open source it, you create a thing where.
Adam K: So it's not just tied down to one company.
Adam K: So dealerships and stuff can,
Adam K: you know, you come together, you
Adam K: decide on a, a spec of a battery
Adam K: because I know it's just a bunch
Adam K: of, you know, little nine volts
Adam K: or whatever.
Adam K: Um, or they're like, they're like double a batteries, right.
Adam K: Basically all strung together.
Aaron: I don't even know.
Adam K: I don't know anymore, but I think that's how Tesla was.
Adam K: I don't know what the modern
Adam K: ones look like, but either way,
Adam K: if all the batteries is in the
Adam K: bottom and it's something simple
Adam K: that can be popped out, popped
Adam K: back in and it there is a
Adam K: standardization like a USB
Adam K: cable, you know, that would be
Adam K: nice.
Adam K: So that yes, the, the batteries are going to die in ten years,
Adam K: but it can be swapped out and it's, you know, it doesn't cost
Adam K: as much as a new car.
Adam K: I don't know, that would be kind of cool.
Adam K: But also it's still wasteful.
Adam K: It's all always full.
Adam K: Whatever.
Aaron: Yeah, technically, the least wasteful thing is to have
Adam K: Just kill
Aaron: a car
Adam K: ourselves.
Aaron: from
Adam K: Oh,
Aaron: an old.
Aaron: Yeah. Well over that.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: yeah.
Aaron: Just
Adam K: Was
Aaron: get rid
Adam K: that old.
Aaron: of your what?
Aaron: Go
Adam K: There's
Aaron: ahead.
Adam K: that old onion video where it's a Prius that just kills you.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: And it's just like.
Adam K: It's not wrong.
Adam K: I don't know.
Adam K: Talk about how AI is wasting water while I post a a 4k video
Adam K: on YouTube about it.
Aaron: Golf course is actually way more water, but whatever.
Adam K: Are they recycle?
Adam K: I don't know, I thought fast fashion was a problem or beef's
Adam K: the problem, I don't
Aaron: They're
Adam K: know.
Aaron: all a problem.
Adam K: But again, no one wants to talk about the real problem.
Adam K: Whereas well, why does fast fashion exist?
Adam K: Why does YouTube exist?
Adam K: Why does the meat industry exist?
Adam K: Us we're the problem like, but we won't admit it.
Adam K: So that that's going to that's
Adam K: going to be a real dilly of a
Adam K: pickle once AI gets the launch
Adam K: codes.
Aaron: I'm reading about the K, and in twenty twenty, the Burbank
Aaron: Unified School District banned the book from the curriculum on
Aaron: the back of complaints from four parents, who alleged the
Aaron: material in the book could lead to potential harm to the
Aaron: district's black students.
Aaron: Uh.
Adam K: Interesting. Doesn't Burbank,
Aaron: And Burbank.
Adam K: huh?
Adam K: Well. Different time.
Aaron: Yeah, that's a long
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: time ago.
Aaron: Twenty
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: twenty.
Adam K: Again, though.
Adam K: Watch the full movie on Teen Wolf the movie dot com.
Adam K: It's not a dot com, actually.
Aaron: Oh, James Earl Jones is okay.
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: I just he's got the Uncle Ben look, so I, I can't tell
Aaron: Yeah,
Adam K: let
Aaron: man.
Adam K: me I'll I'll send you the the perfect screenshot I landed on.
Adam K: You'll see I'm signaling it to you.
Aaron: Also wafer.
Aaron: Well, no, Theo is not the same as Timothy.
Aaron: Never mind.
Adam K: What?
Aaron: No, I was, uh, I was thinking
Aaron: that the the author name, the
Aaron: one of the main characters after
Aaron: himself.
Aaron: That's not how it went.
Aaron: Uh, also, they're leaving
Aaron: Curacao for Virginia and
Aaron: Curacao.
Aaron: That makes sense, because it's like Netherland.
Aaron: Yeah.
Aaron: Okay.
Aaron: It's Dutch.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Oh, so he's a little Dutch boy?
Aaron: I, I don't know, I thought he was us, kid.
Aaron: It becomes marooned.
Aaron: I don't know.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: Relocates the family of the Dutch West Indies.
Aaron: His father did for government related work.
Aaron: Uh, Philip's Dutch friend in Curacao.
Aaron: Yeah.
Aaron: Who is puzzled by Grace's racial prejudices.
Aaron: Okay, whatever.
Adam K: I was
Aaron: I.
Adam K: doing research on, uh, one
Adam K: hundred and twenty Days of
Adam K: Sodom.
Adam K: That's kind of related to this.
Aaron: Really?
Adam K: Well, remember.
Adam K: My my Korean movie idea I told you about?
Aaron: The oh yeah.
Aaron: Yeah yeah,
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: yeah.
Adam K: yeah.
Adam K: Um, still don't know if I want to do it, but I was like, you
Adam K: know, it would be.
Adam K: This is probably a good template for
Aaron: You're
Adam K: that.
Aaron: talking about the one that with the Andrew Tate thing, right?
Adam K: Yeah, yeah.
Adam K: Where
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: he's basically, I was like, that
Adam K: makes way more sense to do a do,
Adam K: like almost a remake of it, but
Adam K: in a, over a mod because it was
Adam K: originally based on a book from
Adam K: the seventeen hundreds, whatever
Adam K: that was like basically just
Adam K: pornographic.
Adam K: And then it was adapted by some
Adam K: crazy Italian guy in the
Adam K: seventies, and it was banned for
Adam K: being pornographic.
Adam K: Uh, but they modernized it by making a group of like, Italian
Adam K: fascists who are torturing a group of poor souls.
Adam K: So I was like, well, what's the modern version?
Adam K: Oh, you, you have you do one hundred and twenty Days of
Adam K: Sodom, but with like the influencer bros where they're
Adam K: forced to be these like pseudo weird sex slaves.
Adam K: That would be funny.
Aaron: Yeah, I'd watch it and laugh.
Adam K: Yeah, I'm going to see if
Adam K: YouTube premium wants to sponsor
Adam K: this movie.
Aaron: And what would be great is you actually get actual influencers
Aaron: to play themselves.
Adam K: I could, you know what?
Adam K: I bet you I could pitch this idea to shudder because
Aaron: Yeah,
Adam K: they just they just need something.
Aaron: yeah.
Adam K: And I was like, imagine Korean torture porn with that's a
Adam K: remake of torture porn from fifty years, seventy years ago.
Adam K: When was nineteen seventy two.
Adam K: Long ago.
Adam K: Um, but like, imagine making a movie that's too hot for TV
Adam K: today and they would go for it.
Aaron: Well, the influencers too.
Aaron: They wouldn't understand the irony or the commentary.
Aaron: All they would be concerned about is one.
Aaron: How much are they getting or what kind of promotion are they
Aaron: getting for it?
Adam K: Yeah. Or like, how many, uh,
Adam K: make goods do I have to do for
Adam K: how many posts do I have to do
Adam K: on
Aaron: Right.
Adam K: X or Instagram
Aaron: And do
Adam K: for
Aaron: they get
Adam K: this?
Aaron: exclusivity for their part?
Aaron: Like, do they get to post their
Aaron: parts first before it's posted,
Aaron: you know, by the whatever
Aaron: production company?
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Sure. Yeah. It doesn't matter.
Adam K: It's, I just imagine someone getting a G fuel enema in the
Adam K: movie at some point.
Aaron: And dying from
Adam K: Oh,
Aaron: caffeine.
Adam K: yeah.
Adam K: Too much caffeine.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: It's just a caffeine overdose.
Adam K: And. Oh, and I have a call on Wednesday with the, um, with
Adam K: that, that German CEO for that, uh, that gamer mask.
Aaron: Nice.
Adam K: Yeah. Seven a m it's gonna be fun cuz I gotta work around his
Adam K: schedule, but which is fine.
Adam K: I was like, hey, you're
Aaron: Which
Adam K: taking
Aaron: is
Adam K: the
Aaron: two
Adam K: time to
Aaron: p
Adam K: talk
Aaron: m
Adam K: to
Aaron: his
Adam K: me.
Aaron: time.
Adam K: I'm like, I'm genuinely curious because I was like, this thing
Adam K: does kind of solve a problem.
Adam K: It's just like, they have to know it's kind of silly.
Adam K: Um, but also I accidentally emailed him the article I was
Adam K: writing that went up last
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: week.
Adam K: I don't know why.
Adam K: It was just it got attached, I
Adam K: think because I was working for
Adam K: my phone basically from the
Adam K: courthouse.
Adam K: And he was like, why did you send me this?
Adam K: And I was like, oh, that was a draft I sent to my editor.
Adam K: Um, I don't know why you got it.
Adam K: Sorry.
Adam K: My bad.
Adam K: And he was like, all good, let's talk.
Adam K: And I was like, okay.
Aaron: I thought he
Adam K: Um.
Aaron: read it.
Aaron: Did he not read?
Aaron: Oh, no. He read some of the stuff from the site.
Adam K: He,
Aaron: That's right.
Adam K: he saw this, the headline about stealing fonts or something.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: And I was like, yes, yes, I'll talk to you.
Adam K: And I'm like, I'm like, I'm not
Adam K: going to go in like,
Adam K: maliciously, I don't want to,
Adam K: I'm not
Aaron: Right.
Adam K: going to be a dickwad.
Adam K: I'm like, I'm genuinely curious.
Adam K: Like, you make a kind of a strange product.
Adam K: You've been around for three years.
Adam K: You're your base is mostly like
Adam K: Japanese, but like, um, like,
Adam K: what's your like, you're, you're
Adam K: on your third iteration of this
Adam K: thing.
Adam K: Like what, what is this?
Adam K: Like, who does this server?
Adam K: How did you even come up with this?
Adam K: Like, you know, and then I'm also all my parts came in, so
Adam K: I'm going to be building my own.
Adam K: So, um, I'm going to try to use that as like inspiration to make
Adam K: mine as good as possible.
Aaron: You shouldn't make as good as.
Aaron: But you should make it better.
Adam K: My hope is to make it better.
Adam K: I mean, I'm charging the tiny little bladeless fan that came
Adam K: in from Temu this morning.
Aaron: There should be some sort of feed bag element to it.
Aaron: I think I said this before, but
Adam K: It looks like a feed bag,
Aaron: I
Adam K: but yeah.
Aaron: know it looks like feedback, but there's there should be some way
Aaron: to insert kibble into
Adam K: MM.
Aaron: it.
Adam K: Well, mine will also be wireless, but I'm also, you
Adam K: know, using a DJI proprietary system built in with it.
Adam K: So that would make the cost go way up.
Adam K: But I'm sure you can do a wireless receiver transceiver
Adam K: setup for cheap these days with like a little ESP board or
Adam K: something like that.
Aaron: It should have some sort of like fentanyl filter in it.
Adam K: MM.
Aaron: So where
Adam K: Oh.
Aaron: it identifies when you've got drugs laced with other things.
Adam K: I was going to say it should be piping in the nasal, uh,
Adam K: caffeine sticks I had
Aaron: Oh, yeah.
Adam K: if they were retractable like
Adam K: every twenty minutes or
Adam K: whatever, it just shoves them
Adam K: into your nose and you have to
Adam K: breathe it and then it pulls
Adam K: them out.
Aaron: Yeah,
Adam K: That'd be cool.
Aaron: yeah.
Adam K: Yeah. Okay. I'll save it for the movie.
Aaron: Should, um, just have a tube that connects right to your ass
Aaron: to the mask.
Adam K: Oh. What if we end up
Adam K: accidentally inventing the most
Adam K: economical gaming solution,
Adam K: which is forcing people to eat
Adam K: their own?
Adam K: Um, I'm not going to talk about it anymore
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: anyway.
Aaron: The K is only one hundred and
Aaron: five pages, so I could read it
Aaron: tonight.
Adam K: Yeah, it's it's that age when you read a goosebumps in an
Adam K: afternoon, you go this.
Adam K: I was not being challenged in third grade.
Aaron: Also the book cover for it.
Adam K: Which one?
Aaron: Well, the one I'm looking at, it's Uncle Ben and the racist
Aaron: white boy, and they're both hugging this this thick palm
Adam K: Tree.
Aaron: tree,
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: which I think is, you know, I think it's symbolism for the
Aaron: Uncle Ben kind of showing the the boy, like, you know, we're
Aaron: on this island alone together.
Aaron: You're not going to you're not going anywhere.
Adam K: Right.
Adam K: The ways of things.
Aaron: You're blind.
Aaron: You need me.
Adam K: I'm going to guess this is the
Adam K: one movie that doesn't have
Adam K: metaphors.
Adam K: I don't think there's any symbolism
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: in the book or the movie.
Adam K: That's my guess.
Adam K: I
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: think it's Everything's pretty much on the nose.
Adam K: But I could be wrong, I don't know.
Aaron: It's actually is really like a sitcom.
Aaron: The the book, it's, uh, Uncle Ben's giving the little kid
Aaron: dating advice the whole time.
Aaron: Uh, because the kid is worried about his this date.
Aaron: He has to go on once they escape
Aaron: this, uh, deserted island that
Aaron: they're on.
Aaron: And, uh, yeah, it's mostly one hundred and five pages of Uncle
Aaron: Ben being like.
Aaron: And you can't, you gotta ask her questions the whole time.
Aaron: And don't talk about yourself because that'll make you seem
Aaron: conceited, you know?
Adam K: I
Aaron: And, and.
Adam K: would like to eat the coconut, please.
Aaron: Yeah. And then, uh, that's
Aaron: basically the whole book, if I
Aaron: remember correctly.
Adam K: God, what a time to be assigned a one hundred and five page book
Adam K: and drag your feet.
Aaron: You know, the novel was
Aaron: dedicated to Martin Luther King
Aaron: Junior.
Adam K: And the the foundation rescinded it and said,
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: you can have it back.
Adam K: I'm sending you what I think is the best book cover, where it
Adam K: just looks like an acid trip.
Aaron: Let's see here.
Adam K: It's pretty good.
Adam K: This is like baby's first Photoshop.
Aaron: Oh my God.
Adam K: Yeah, that one's pretty good.
Aaron: It looks like.
Aaron: It looks like Theodore is.
Aaron: Is God, like the kid died on the island, and then he just.
Aaron: Or he's he's the kid slowly going insane, about
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: to die.
Aaron: And this apparition keeps
Aaron: appearing above the water like
Aaron: this.
Aaron: Uncle Ben keeps talking to him,
Aaron: and and the kid's like, why are
Aaron: you teaching me about all this
Aaron: racism stuff before I just let
Aaron: me die?
Aaron: Just let me die a racist Dutch kid.
Aaron: He's like, no, you need to learn.
Adam K: Uh oh.
Adam K: Yeah. That's where they do
Adam K: their, like, blackface holiday,
Adam K: right?
Adam K: In Amsterdam.
Aaron: How do they owe
Adam K: It was
Aaron: in Curacao?
Adam K: in a, uh, I don't know, it was it
Aaron: Because
Adam K: was in
Aaron: Curacao
Adam K: an episode
Aaron: is
Adam K: of
Aaron: where
Adam K: Atlanta.
Aaron: they take off from.
Aaron: And I've been to Curacao.
Aaron: I vacationed there, and I've
Aaron: never seen a population more sad
Aaron: that racism doesn't exist or
Aaron: not.
Aaron: Race slavery doesn't exist
Aaron: anymore because like all the
Aaron: white people, they're like, you
Aaron: can tell they are like, they
Aaron: wish they didn't have to pay
Aaron: the, the black employees that
Aaron: they had.
Aaron: Like you just, you just get that feeling that they're like, uh,
Aaron: times are changing.
Aaron: It's like, yeah, well, times change like a long time ago.
Aaron: And they're like, no, no, no, not for us, not for the Dutch.
Adam K: Yeah. Um, yeah, I'm going to butcher the the pronunciation.
Adam K: But it's Zwarte Piet.
Adam K: Uh, I just sent it to you.
Adam K: A little Wikipedia thing.
Adam K: It's a it's a Dutch holiday and it's insensitive, but.
Aaron: Also known in English by the translated name Black Pete.
Aaron: He's
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: a companion of Saint Nicholas.
Aaron: This is Santa Claus, friend.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: Black Pete, Santa Claus, racist, black faced friend.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: That's pretty cool.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: It's like some kid sits on Santa's lap.
Aaron: Is like Santa who's Black Pete?
Aaron: Santa was like, well, that's all for.
Aaron: That's all for today.
Adam K: Well, there's a picture of them
Adam K: in twenty thirteen, so, you
Adam K: know, not too long ago, but
Adam K: that's when they're like, we've
Adam K: had enough.
Aaron: These are all modern pictures.
Adam K: Yeah, yeah.
Adam K: I mean, twenty twenty that that was a time to where they're
Adam K: like, please, please stop this, please stop this atrocity.
Aaron: No, that's
Adam K: But the, the bush, the children loves
Aaron: I
Adam K: him.
Aaron: guarantee you they're celebrating it again now.
Adam K: Just secretly and, and behind
Adam K: locked doors at their little
Adam K: grocery marts in the red light
Adam K: district.
Aaron: January twenty twenty nine.
Aaron: Black Pete's going to be back.
Aaron: He's going to be at the Capitol.
Adam K: I, I hate that these are political talking points.
Adam K: Can I just have health care now?
Aaron: Today they're like they're almost campaign promises.
Adam K: God.
Aaron: If you elect us, we will have
Aaron: Black Pete at at the white
Aaron: House.
Adam K: I'm going to let you go to the gym so then I can have lunch.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Okay, well,
Aaron: That's
Adam K: have
Aaron: good.
Adam K: a good time.
Aaron: It.
Adam K: Have a good pump.
Adam K: Have have a a wonderful Zwarte Piet.
Adam K: Piet.
Aaron: I can't believe that thing exists.
Adam K: Of course it does.
Adam K: We're.
Adam K: We're a terrible species.
Aaron: I'm going to go listen to the K
Aaron: audio podcast while I'm at the
Aaron: gym.
Adam K: You'll be done by the time you get off the toilet.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: All
Aaron: By
Adam K: right.
Aaron: the time the hurricane hits and they've strapped themselves to
Aaron: the palm tree.
Aaron: I'll be done.
Adam K: When are you going to send me your blood, boy?
Adam K: Edit.
Aaron: Ah, I need to send it.
Aaron: I just I've, I know I've told you this before how much I hate
Aaron: editing and I'm sorry, but.
Adam K: I know, I know.
Adam K: You gotta just power through, though.
Aaron: I know it's not the.
Aaron: And it's not just the editing.
Aaron: It's having to switch over my computer every time is the big
Aaron: thing because of the other things going on on the other
Aaron: side of the computer.
Aaron: But yes, I'll get it to you.
