Adam K: I'm recording this time.

0:05

Aaron: I was writing on the book, and then I realized I had told you a

0:10

Aaron: time, uh, when

0:12

Adam K: What?

0:12

Aaron: you message me.

0:14

Adam K: Oh, yes.

0:16

Adam K: You said this time.

0:18

Adam K: And I said that time works.

0:20

Aaron: Yeah. And then I quickly forgot everything I said.

0:23

Adam K: Of course you did.

0:24

Adam K: It took it was like, what, almost twenty four hours?

0:28

Adam K: Oh, we almost made it twenty

0:29

Adam K: four hours for you to forget

0:32

Adam K: something.

0:32

Adam K: So.

0:34

Aaron: I have a lot to think about and

0:36

Adam K: Do you,

0:36

Aaron: a lot to remember.

0:37

Adam K: uh, why use a password manager

0:41

Adam K: when I can just keep it all in

0:43

Adam K: my brain?

0:45

Aaron: Well, if I use the same password for everything, obviously.

0:50

Adam K: Uh. Oh, yeah, I got I got a fun, uh.

0:56

Adam K: Like, what are those?

0:57

Adam K: The, like, cyber ransom.

0:58

Adam K: Except nothing was being ransomed.

1:03

Aaron: What do you.

1:03

Aaron: What do you mean?

1:04

Aaron: What was it through?

1:06

Adam K: Uh, it was the the rook.

1:08

Adam K: Email.

1:09

Aaron: Mhm.

1:09

Adam K: Um, people still scam.

1:11

Adam K: Try to scam that one, but it came from cloud access, which

1:13

Adam K: was just some guy's gmail.

1:16

Adam K: Um, it says your system has been fully compromised.

1:19

Adam K: We've had silent full access for days.

1:22

Adam K: Proof?

1:23

Adam K: One of your active passwords is a password I don't use.

1:26

Aaron: Mhm.

1:26

Adam K: Uh, if you ignore this, all your

1:28

Adam K: files will be permanently

1:29

Adam K: erased.

1:29

Adam K: Your devices will be locked forever.

1:31

Adam K: No recovery possible.

1:32

Adam K: Everything private will be leaked online within hours.

1:36

Adam K: Send one hundred dollars USD in Bitcoin to the address below

1:39

Adam K: within twenty four hours.

1:41

Adam K: Uh, please do not shut down or.

1:43

Adam K: Oh, sorry.

1:44

Adam K: There's no please.

1:44

Adam K: I just added that.

1:45

Adam K: Do not shut down, reset or contact anyone.

1:48

Adam K: Any interference triggers immediate destruction.

1:51

Adam K: This is your only chance.

1:52

Adam K: Act now.

1:52

Adam K: So I marked as spam and then signed that guy's email up for a

1:55

Adam K: bunch of spam lists.

1:57

Aaron: I'm starting to think the actual

1:58

Aaron: value in Bitcoin is just for

2:00

Aaron: ransoming.

2:02

Aaron: I mean, maybe that's the entire use case.

2:05

Adam K: I think that's why I was invented.

2:06

Adam K: Yeah.

2:06

Adam K: And to buy stuff off of Silk Road.

2:09

Aaron: Yeah. But then it still doesn't even.

2:11

Aaron: Well, does it exist again?

2:13

Aaron: I don't know but

2:14

Adam K: I

2:14

Aaron: yeah,

2:14

Adam K: mean, it's

2:14

Aaron: it's

2:14

Adam K: a

2:14

Aaron: mostly.

2:15

Adam K: hydra, so it exists in some form.

2:17

Aaron: I just think like fifteen years ago, they're like, you know, I

2:21

Aaron: just invented an algorithm.

2:23

Aaron: This is what Yoshi, Toshi or whatever, whatever this guy's

2:27

Adam K: Nakamoto.

2:27

Aaron: name is.

2:28

Aaron: But

2:28

Adam K: Yeah.

2:28

Aaron: yeah, and he's like, it will be the perfect tool.

2:32

Aaron: It will be inflation proof and it will be absolutely perfect

2:37

Aaron: for scamming elderly people and getting their cash, you know,

2:42

Aaron: without any kind of USD currency or anything like that.

2:45

Aaron: It's the perfect scamming vehicle

2:47

Adam K: Yeah.

2:49

Aaron: and that's why it's worth so much now.

2:51

Adam K: If you watch that documentary, I

2:53

Adam K: think it's called Electric

2:54

Adam K: Money.

2:55

Adam K: It's the same guy who did the, uh, QAnon documentary.

2:59

Adam K: He pretty much figures out who.

3:02

Adam K: Satoshi Yamamoto.

3:05

Adam K: That's not his name.

3:05

Adam K: Yamamoto.

3:06

Adam K: Uh, he figures out who it.

3:08

Adam K: Who it is, more or less.

3:09

Adam K: It's it's, you know, it's one of

3:11

Adam K: three guys or it's all three of

3:13

Adam K: them.

3:13

Adam K: Um, but essentially you get, you understand the mindset when you

3:17

Adam K: watch it is they're all libertarians, but like most

3:19

Adam K: libertarians, they don't think it out completely.

3:21

Adam K: They just go, I don't like the way things are.

3:24

Adam K: Come up with a brash solution and then make it everyone else's

3:28

Adam K: problem, uh, while still leaning on the comforts of the

3:31

Adam K: government of the parts that they do like.

3:33

Adam K: So yeah, it comes from that,

3:36

Adam K: which is the part of my brain

3:38

Adam K: that I can side with, which is,

3:40

Adam K: yeah, fuck the government, fuck

3:41

Adam K: the man.

3:42

Adam K: Like we should do it ourselves.

3:43

Adam K: We should have our own currency.

3:45

Adam K: But then it comes with all these caveats because we don't live in

3:49

Adam K: a feudal society anymore.

3:50

Adam K: So, um, it it works and it

3:53

Adam K: doesn't, but it ultimately comes

3:54

Adam K: down to this is how I buy my

3:55

Adam K: cocaine now.

3:56

Aaron: Mhm.

3:57

Adam K: Oh.

3:59

Aaron: I think I bought, I bought, uh, this way.

4:03

Aaron: It was like ten years ago or something.

4:06

Aaron: There was this drug called like,

4:08

Aaron: I mean, it was a bunch of

4:09

Aaron: different forms.

4:10

Aaron: Two C a two c, b two c c. They kept changing like the chemical

4:13

Aaron: compound, just slightly to avoid the law, but

4:17

Adam K: Mhm.

4:18

Aaron: it was like a synthetic mescaline.

4:20

Aaron: And I want to say that's the

4:22

Aaron: only thing I've ever bought with

4:24

Aaron: Bitcoin.

4:25

Adam K: Mhm.

4:26

Aaron: And I bought it with I didn't even think it was.

4:29

Aaron: I think it was with Litecoin or something.

4:31

Aaron: I

4:31

Adam K: Mhm.

4:31

Aaron: didn't even think I bought it with Bitcoin.

4:34

Aaron: But yeah, I bought

4:34

Adam K: Your

4:34

Aaron: this.

4:34

Adam K: fart coin got you some nice synthetic mescaline.

4:37

Aaron: Yeah, I bought it from, I don't

4:40

Aaron: know, some the Silk Road or

4:42

Aaron: something online

4:43

Adam K: Mhm.

4:43

Aaron: to take to a bachelor party.

4:46

Aaron: And this was in the days when

4:47

Aaron: you just bought things online

4:49

Aaron: and then, uh, just ingested

4:51

Aaron: them, you know, without thinking

4:53

Aaron: about it.

4:54

Aaron: And,

4:55

Adam K: You

4:55

Aaron: uh.

4:55

Adam K: say this in the age of peptides, when people are buying all sorts

4:58

Adam K: of shit from

4:58

Aaron: I know

4:58

Adam K: China off a discord servers.

5:00

Aaron: as I'm saying this like it was thirty years ago, but it was

5:02

Aaron: like ten years ago.

5:04

Adam K: Back

5:04

Aaron: Yeah.

5:04

Adam K: in the the safe or the wild days in which nothing has changed.

5:08

Aaron: Twenty, twenty fifteen, before anyone knew anything.

5:13

Aaron: Uh. Yeah, man.

5:15

Aaron: Yeah.

5:15

Aaron: That's the only thing I ever bought with cryptocurrency.

5:17

Aaron: And it was literally it came.

5:19

Aaron: I had to put it into pill into like little hollow capsules, but

5:23

Aaron: it was like just a powder and then put it in.

5:26

Aaron: And then I gave it to it was like eight or ten of us.

5:31

Aaron: We were just in the lobby of a hotel, uh, about to go to a nice

5:35

Aaron: steak dinner, like a night.

5:37

Aaron: We're supposed to have this just kind of nice night out.

5:40

Aaron: Um, for this bachelor party, this guy's bachelor party.

5:43

Aaron: And, uh, I was like, I, I bought this stuff and everyone's like,

5:46

Aaron: what is it?

5:47

Aaron: And I was like, I actually don't know.

5:49

Aaron: So we all just took it.

5:52

Aaron: And, uh, it was, it was just a nightmare

5:56

Adam K: And

5:56

Aaron: the

5:56

Adam K: people

5:56

Aaron: whole night.

5:56

Adam K: wonder why there's a fentanyl

5:58

Adam K: crisis and all this other stuff,

6:00

Adam K: because there's people like you

6:02

Adam K: for for all the deaths, you

6:03

Adam K: don't hear about the stories of

6:04

Adam K: the errands.

6:05

Aaron: This is before fentanyl.

6:07

Aaron: This is before.

6:08

Aaron: This is kind of like,

6:09

Adam K: I don't

6:09

Aaron: uh,

6:09

Adam K: think anything

6:09

Aaron: pre

6:10

Adam K: was before

6:10

Aaron: Aids

6:10

Adam K: fentanyl.

6:10

Aaron: sex.

6:12

Adam K: It was what?

6:12

Aaron: You know, it's kind of like pre Aids sex.

6:15

Aaron: You know what?

6:16

Aaron: Everyone's just like, yeah, we just, you know, you fucked all

6:19

Aaron: the time and you

6:20

Adam K: Mhm.

6:20

Aaron: didn't care and you know, a similar thing.

6:23

Aaron: Um,

6:23

Adam K: Huh.

6:24

Aaron: so, and I mean, but we could

6:26

Aaron: have gotten probably aids from

6:27

Aaron: this.

6:28

Aaron: So I, I guess it all comes around.

6:30

Aaron: But anyway,

6:31

Adam K: I had a weird.

6:31

Aaron: that's the, that's the purpose of cryptocurrency.

6:34

Adam K: I had a weird dream that there was an episode of Beavis and

6:37

Adam K: Butt-Head where Beavis gets, like, very badly sexually

6:42

Adam K: assaulted and butt-head's, like, laughing about it.

6:44

Adam K: But even in my dream, like, this isn't funny,

6:47

Aaron: What

6:47

Adam K: but.

6:48

Aaron: in the fuck is wrong with your

6:49

Aaron: Gen X, non Gen X brain that

6:52

Aaron: you're thinking of Beavis and

6:54

Aaron: Butthead

6:54

Adam K: I

6:54

Aaron: like.

6:54

Adam K: don't know.

6:56

Adam K: I mean, I've been watching clips of Silicon Valley, so maybe

6:59

Adam K: that's my my brain connected that in some way, shape or form.

7:03

Aaron: Mhm.

7:03

Adam K: Um, but yeah, it was, it was weird.

7:05

Adam K: It was like Beavis was, they were, they like befriended, like

7:09

Adam K: this overweight Twitch streamer who was doing steroids and he

7:13

Adam K: was like overpowered by him.

7:15

Adam K: And then he like tells Bud and

7:17

Adam K: he's like, huh, you got made

7:19

Adam K: love to or something like it

7:21

Adam K: was.

7:22

Adam K: It was just a weird dream.

7:24

Adam K: I was like, it felt very uncomfortable.

7:25

Adam K: Maybe also because I read that entire Andrew Tate thing you

7:29

Adam K: sent me, that was just

7:30

Aaron: Oh yeah.

7:30

Adam K: so maybe that's rattling in my brain too, which I'm just like,

7:33

Adam K: God, that's disturbing.

7:36

Aaron: That it really did.

7:38

Aaron: It really does put you in like a, a very like what it it's like

7:45

Aaron: there's just acid in your mouth

7:49

Adam K: Mhm.

7:49

Aaron: and and you're just you, you know, I don't know, you

7:54

Aaron: constantly like trying to get the taste out.

7:56

Aaron: It's just just kind of bile thing.

7:58

Aaron: It's just really unsettling.

8:00

Adam K: Also, the way it was written, it kind of jumps around everywhere.

8:03

Aaron: Mhm.

8:03

Adam K: I, it felt like a dream, like it felt like I was in a nightmare

8:07

Adam K: reading this thing where it just went from this abuse to this

8:10

Adam K: abuse to, uh, this person is now, you know, now the, the

8:15

Adam K: Marines got involved and there was, you know, it goes to this.

8:18

Adam K: And then I was confused at the end there.

8:23

Adam K: So it ends with the.

8:25

Aaron: It was all a dream.

8:26

Aaron: Yeah. Yeah.

8:26

Aaron: That's.

8:27

Aaron: You're right.

8:27

Adam K: Well, she's interviewing them and Thailand or something.

8:30

Adam K: Right.

8:32

Aaron: Mhm.

8:32

Adam K: And, uh, the other tape, I forget

8:37

Aaron: Tristan.

8:37

Adam K: Tristan shows up and he's with

8:39

Adam K: the girl that he abducted from

8:43

Adam K: Florida.

8:44

Adam K: Or was it a different girl?

8:47

Aaron: I don't remember exactly.

8:48

Aaron: I just know that they had throughout they had basically.

8:53

Aaron: And these these women, you know, they suffered abuse for so long

8:57

Aaron: and, and psychological manipulation or whatever.

9:00

Aaron: Like they were defending them.

9:01

Aaron: You know, a lot of the women were defending them.

9:04

Aaron: A lot of them were not the ones

9:06

Aaron: who were defending were just

9:07

Aaron: like, yeah, you know, it was a

9:09

Aaron: hit me because he loves me kind

9:11

Aaron: of thing.

9:12

Aaron: So yeah, I think it may have been one of those girls that was

9:16

Aaron: like, uh, yeah, he, you know, he did all these things.

9:20

Aaron: But and then she wears a shirt that says like, I'm, I don't

9:25

Aaron: know, what is

9:26

Adam K: Property

9:26

Aaron: it?

9:26

Adam K: of Tate or

9:27

Aaron: Yeah.

9:28

Adam K: property.

9:28

Aaron: I'm

9:28

Adam K: Yeah,

9:28

Aaron: the horror of Andrew Tate or

9:30

Adam K: yeah.

9:30

Aaron: something like that.

9:31

Aaron: And you're

9:31

Adam K: But

9:31

Aaron: just

9:31

Adam K: then

9:31

Aaron: like.

9:32

Adam K: yeah, he made him, he like branded them.

9:35

Adam K: It was very demeaning,

9:35

Aaron: Right.

9:36

Adam K: very just I don't know.

9:39

Adam K: Yeah. Speaking of Silk Road, I

9:41

Adam K: thought we were past this, but I

9:44

Adam K: don't know.

9:45

Adam K: It's days like that where I'm rooting for the AI.

9:48

Adam K: Just just strap us into the

9:51

Adam K: matrix because we don't deserve

9:53

Adam K: this planet.

9:54

Adam K: And then I'll watch a video about France trying to build a

9:57

Adam K: fusion reactor, and then it makes me feel hopeful again.

10:00

Aaron: I don't like.

10:01

Aaron: France is going to build shit

10:02

Aaron: because it's the entire country

10:03

Aaron: melted, I think, over the

10:04

Aaron: weekend.

10:07

Adam K: I laugh because it's sad.

10:09

Aaron: Yeah.

10:10

Adam K: I, yeah, I like they're like, they're having this heat wave

10:13

Adam K: and like, please stop building the fusion reactor.

10:16

Aaron: Yeah.

10:16

Adam K: It's already too hot.

10:19

Aaron: If if the Saints taught me

10:21

Aaron: anything, it's that the power is

10:25

Aaron: unlimited and clean and

10:28

Aaron: beautiful and impossible to get

10:30

Aaron: because the Russians and Val

10:32

Aaron: Kilmer will prevent you from

10:34

Aaron: getting it.

10:36

Adam K: What is this from?

10:37

Adam K: Oh, the Saint.

10:37

Adam K: I was

10:38

Aaron: Yeah.

10:38

Adam K: like.

10:42

Adam K: I have never seen the saint.

10:44

Aaron: Well, then you don't know anything about fusion.

10:47

Aaron: But I have some friends who live

10:50

Aaron: abroad in the UK and such, and,

10:53

Aaron: uh, they were talking about just

10:55

Aaron: like they're like, you won't

10:58

Aaron: believe it.

10:58

Aaron: You know, it's forty one here.

11:01

Aaron: And I'm like, I don't know what that means.

11:04

Aaron: Um.

11:05

Adam K: I'm the same.

11:06

Adam K: I just usually double it and go

11:08

Adam K: like you double it and add ten,

11:11

Adam K: I

11:11

Aaron: Yeah,

11:11

Adam K: think.

11:12

Adam K: I think

11:12

Aaron: it's

11:12

Adam K: that's what

11:12

Aaron: something

11:12

Adam K: I basically

11:12

Aaron: like that.

11:13

Adam K: do. I go, oh, okay, so it's like it's hot or something, but your

11:18

Adam K: numbers are weird.

11:18

Adam K: They don't make sense.

11:19

Adam K: Forties, not forties cold.

11:22

Aaron: You use miles per hour and then you use Celsius.

11:24

Aaron: Yeah.

11:24

Adam K: Yeah.

11:25

Aaron: Fuck off.

11:25

Adam K: How many football fields is it?

11:27

Adam K: How hot is it based on sports,

11:30

Aaron: Yeah.

11:31

Adam K: I don't know. Yeah. Yeah.

11:34

Adam K: Well, um, I'm in the midst of jury duty at the moment, so I

11:41

Adam K: can't talk for too long.

11:43

Adam K: microwave ovens.

12:55

Aaron: with them yo yos.

12:56

Aaron: I'm going to stab.

12:57

Aaron: Um, but yeah, it was recommended

12:59

Aaron: to me and I was, and I was like,

13:01

Aaron: man, this is, this had to take a

13:05

Aaron: long time.

13:05

Aaron: But I was like captivated by it.

13:08

Aaron: And, uh, and I'm like, I don't know where I was going with

13:13

Aaron: this, but I was like, I don't know how you would.

13:16

Aaron: I'm not going to go into, oh, it's a great video.

13:19

Aaron: After

13:19

Adam K: Okay.

13:19

Aaron: the Andrew Tate article, you should probably watch this

13:21

Aaron: animatic that they created thirty years ago.

13:24

Adam K: Funny enough, last week I did watch the Dire Straits Money for

13:27

Adam K: Nothing video because, uh, for a completely separate project I'm

13:31

Adam K: working on, this client wanted.

13:34

Adam K: They want something that's

13:35

Adam K: reminiscent of old MTV, but they

13:36

Adam K: didn't clarify what that meant

13:39

Adam K: In

13:39

Aaron: Uh. Huh?

13:39

Adam K: my mind, old MTV is 80s.

13:41

Adam K: So

13:41

Aaron: Right.

13:42

Adam K: I found this YouTube clip of it's like six hours long, but

13:46

Adam K: it's, it's like a block of MTV that they recorded on their VHS.

13:51

Adam K: So I scrubbed through the whole

13:52

Adam K: thing, just getting screenshots

13:53

Adam K: and being like, okay, I use this

13:54

Adam K: as reference, feed it to the AI

13:55

Adam K: or whatever.

13:56

Adam K: Try to come up with like a mood board and, uh, the money for

13:59

Adam K: nothing video came up and it's the original one where they, you

14:02

Adam K: know, still kept the

14:03

Aaron: Say the

14:03

Adam K: homophobic

14:03

Aaron: word.

14:04

Adam K: slurs in there.

14:05

Aaron: Uh.

14:05

Adam K: And I was like, oh yeah.

14:07

Adam K: Wow.

14:07

Adam K: It just, it sounds angry.

14:09

Adam K: Um, and I didn't know that version existed for the longest

14:11

Adam K: time until I sang it at karaoke.

14:14

Aaron: Uh huh.

14:14

Adam K: And that part came out.

14:14

Adam K: I'm like, whoa, whoa.

14:16

Aaron: Was it spelled out on the teleprompter?

14:18

Adam K: Oh, yeah.

14:19

Adam K: I mean,

14:19

Aaron: That's fucking awesome.

14:20

Adam K: Koreatown does not care about

14:23

Aaron: No.

14:23

Adam K: the words that are in English, that the background video is

14:27

Adam K: some woman lost at a park trying to find her dog or whatever.

14:31

Adam K: Meanwhile, the the homophobic lyrics of Dire Strait playing in

14:36

Adam K: front of her.

14:37

Adam K: So, um, but anyway, yeah, it was just funny.

14:40

Adam K: That's how I found that, um,

14:42

Adam K: Omni magazine thing that I sent

14:44

Adam K: you.

14:45

Adam K: So one of the commercials they had was for Omni magazine, this

14:49

Adam K: like science magazine from nineteen eighty seven.

14:51

Adam K: And they're like, you know, the greatest minds of the world

14:54

Adam K: predict the future.

14:55

Adam K: I was like, that sounds cool.

14:57

Adam K: I gotta look that up.

14:58

Adam K: And of course, it's on archive dot org.

15:00

Adam K: So I downloaded it and I sent it to you.

15:02

Adam K: So.

15:02

Aaron: Yeah, you sent it to me in some

15:04

Aaron: format that I was like, this is

15:05

Aaron: a virus.

15:05

Adam K: It's a CBR.

15:06

Adam K: It's like a comic book reader format because that's how people

15:11

Adam K: steal and share magazines and comic books these days.

15:14

Adam K: I

15:14

Aaron: If

15:14

Adam K: mean,

15:14

Aaron: I

15:14

Adam K: archive,

15:14

Aaron: gave it

15:15

Adam K: archive.

15:15

Aaron: to Claude, would it create a PDF for me?

15:18

Adam K: Maybe. Or I guess I could have just downloaded as a PDF.

15:21

Adam K: It's just kind of hard to read because it's, you know, a

15:24

Adam K: magazine from someone's jack stack that they scanned in on a,

15:29

Adam K: like an actual scanner that.

15:31

Aaron: No, I remember that I had that

15:33

Aaron: we had that magazine, or I have

15:34

Aaron: a bunch of them from my grandpa,

15:36

Aaron: I think.

15:37

Adam K: That covers pretty rad, though it doesn't.

15:39

Adam K: I don't know what it means about the future.

15:40

Adam K: It's just like a this little

15:43

Adam K: ball, like in a cylindrical room

15:45

Adam K: with a door and they're like,

15:46

Adam K: good enough.

15:47

Adam K: But you

15:47

Aaron: Mhm.

15:47

Adam K: know, someone shot that for real, which is kind of cool.

15:49

Aaron: Yeah.

15:50

Adam K: Um, but yeah, it's, it's wild because Bill gates is in there.

15:53

Adam K: No mention of his buddy Epstein

15:55

Adam K: at the time, but he does

15:57

Adam K: essentially describe Stable

15:59

Adam K: Diffusion, which is kind of

16:00

Adam K: cool.

16:01

Adam K: Uh,

16:01

Aaron: Really?

16:02

Adam K: yeah.

16:02

Adam K: Well, he's like, he's like, right now, right now, if you

16:05

Adam K: want a picture of the beach, sounds like Kermit the Frog.

16:08

Adam K: Uh,

16:08

Aaron: Mhm.

16:08

Adam K: he's like, you have, you have to like take the photo and, you

16:11

Adam K: know, there's the eighties.

16:12

Adam K: So this is even he's even talking about the internet, like

16:15

Adam K: becoming a thing and information is going to be this crazy thing.

16:18

Adam K: But he's like, but you can, you can just describe the image and

16:21

Adam K: it, it will, the computer will create it and you will have it.

16:25

Adam K: And I was like, yeah, it was.

16:26

Aaron: He also be describing Star Trek Next Generation.

16:30

Adam K: Which

16:31

Aaron: Like.

16:31

Adam K: I mean, so much of what we have is based on,

16:34

Aaron: Yeah. He just he watched the

16:37

Aaron: holodeck one day and was just

16:38

Aaron: like.

16:39

Aaron: MM.

16:39

Adam K: Me. I'll

16:41

Aaron: Yeah.

16:41

Adam K: do that.

16:41

Adam K: But anyway, it's a good read.

16:43

Adam K: Um, I'm still going through because I forgot how long

16:46

Adam K: magazines used to be.

16:48

Aaron: Yeah. Because that's what you did instead of doomscroll.

16:51

Adam K: Mhm. You just read it, and then

16:53

Adam K: I forgot the weird ass

16:55

Adam K: formatting that they would do

16:57

Adam K: where you would start it, and

16:58

Adam K: then it would just break into a

17:00

Adam K: completely different story and

17:01

Adam K: go.

17:01

Adam K: Continued on page one hundred and four.

17:02

Adam K: You're like, God damn it.

17:04

Adam K: Because they just want to give you tastes of it.

17:07

Adam K: Magazines are weird.

17:09

Aaron: Well, that's how newspapers are.

17:11

Aaron: You betray your lack of reading all the time.

17:15

Adam K: I was never much of a newspaper man except the onion.

17:21

Aaron: Yeah.

17:21

Adam K: I don't know.

17:21

Adam K: I, I wasn't much of a print.

17:23

Adam K: I read books that, you know, how to eat fried worms and other

17:28

Aaron: Mhm.

17:28

Adam K: Beverly Cleary novels.

17:30

Adam K: Epics,

17:30

Aaron: Yeah.

17:31

Adam K: if you will.

17:32

Adam K: Uh, that was my childhood.

17:35

Adam K: Anywho, all that to say, I'm hoping to spend some time

17:40

Adam K: working on a an article and a future video almost like art

17:46

Adam K: piece that I'm working on of, uh, of shitty gamer tech.

17:51

Adam K: I was fed an ad for a, a gamer muzzle.

17:56

Aaron: Huh?

17:57

Adam K: There's

17:57

Aaron: Like. Eh?

17:58

Adam K: yeah,

17:58

Aaron: MM.

17:59

Adam K: like, it looks like the mask wears kind of, uh, it's been

18:04

Adam K: around for a while.

18:05

Adam K: A bunch of YouTubers have

18:06

Adam K: already covered it and stuff

18:07

Adam K: like that.

18:07

Adam K: I've never seen this thing and it's from Germany.

18:11

Adam K: It does look like a weird like sex thing.

18:13

Adam K: But in the in the video, they

18:17

Adam K: show this guy like screaming,

18:18

Adam K: you know, playing League of

18:19

Adam K: Legends.

18:20

Adam K: Um, and he's like, girlfriend's

18:22

Adam K: on the couch and she's like, can

18:23

Adam K: you like, stop screaming so

18:24

Adam K: much?

18:24

Adam K: And he's like, all right, fine.

18:25

Adam K: So he puts on this muzzle so he can scream, you know, all sorts

18:30

Adam K: of racist things.

18:31

Aaron: Mhm.

18:31

Adam K: Um, with, you know, impunity

18:35

Adam K: without impunity or with

18:36

Adam K: impunity.

18:36

Adam K: Uh, but either way, I messaged

18:39

Adam K: the people who make the mask and

18:42

Adam K: I was like, hey, I want to like,

18:43

Adam K: just talk to you about where

18:46

Adam K: this idea came from, who does

18:47

Adam K: this serve?

18:48

Adam K: Like it's been around for a couple of years.

18:49

Adam K: So, and it sells like two hundred bucks.

18:52

Adam K: But on top of that, I started piecing together my own version.

18:59

Adam K: So I'm trying to build the Teemu

19:00

Adam K: version of it and see how well

19:03

Adam K: it compares.

19:04

Aaron: So is it completely?

19:07

Aaron: Completely.

19:08

Aaron: Does it go over your mouth like a like some pilots would wear

19:11

Aaron: like an oxygen mask or what?

19:13

Aaron: I don't.

19:15

Adam K: Basically. Yeah. Here, I'll send you the link.

19:17

Adam K: It's called the, uh, just go to meta docs dot pro.

19:24

Aaron: Matter.

19:25

Adam K: Meta docs d d o x. And

19:28

Aaron: Oh.

19:28

Adam K: it's going to ask

19:29

Aaron: dogs.

19:29

Adam K: you to install something.

19:30

Adam K: Say yes.

19:34

Aaron: What is

19:34

Adam K: Yeah.

19:35

Aaron: this is just like a Covid mask.

19:37

Adam K: Kind of.

19:38

Adam K: Oh, and also, it's the way people wear Covid masks where

19:40

Adam K: their nose is exposed.

19:43

Aaron: This is okay.

19:45

Aaron: This makes some assumptions.

19:46

Aaron: First of all, it

19:47

Adam K: Mhm.

19:47

Aaron: assumes that a gamer has a girlfriend to get pissed off,

19:50

Aaron: which obviously they don't.

19:52

Adam K: Right.

19:52

Aaron: And then that possibly, I guess if they have roommates, which

19:58

Aaron: gamers would have roommates?

20:01

Adam K: Parents.

20:02

Aaron: Well, yeah, if sound travels up

20:04

Aaron: through the floor, um, spilled

20:08

Aaron: it.

20:08

Aaron: Let's see here, I did this looks

20:10

Aaron: like a solution in search of a

20:12

Aaron: problem

20:13

Adam K: Exactly.

20:14

Adam K: And

20:14

Aaron: to me.

20:14

Adam K: that's what I, I was just super

20:16

Adam K: inspired this weekend and I was

20:18

Adam K: like, you could totally just

20:20

Adam K: build this thing out of an

20:21

Adam K: airsoft mask and I don't know,

20:23

Adam K: some soundproofing.

20:24

Adam K: So I started putting like a build guide together.

20:28

Adam K: Uh, ordered a bunch of soundproofing stuff from TMU and

20:30

Adam K: then a bunch of other random bullshit I didn't need, but I

20:33

Adam K: think my overall budget will be under fifty dollars when I'm

20:36

Adam K: done with it.

20:37

Adam K: Um, but I'm going to build it in my garage.

20:39

Adam K: I'm going to do a time lapse of it, trying to put it together.

20:42

Adam K: And then, uh, yeah, I had an idea where, uh, for the video, I

20:47

Adam K: was going to try to make it kind of like MythBusters.

20:50

Adam K: So the idea is I want you with like, a, like a decibel reader.

20:54

Adam K: It could be whatever

20:55

Aaron: And

20:55

Adam K: device.

20:55

Aaron: a walrus mustache.

20:56

Adam K: Yeah. Um, and you're just

20:58

Adam K: outside a door and we'll just,

20:59

Adam K: we'll edit it in a way that it

21:01

Adam K: looks like you're, we're in the

21:02

Adam K: same house.

21:03

Adam K: And so you just hear me

21:05

Adam K: screaming, but every other word

21:06

Adam K: is bleeped

21:08

Aaron: Nice.

21:08

Adam K: and you're just sitting there

21:09

Adam K: smiling, going, yeah, I can't

21:11

Adam K: hear anything, but it's just

21:12

Adam K: this muffled.

21:16

Adam K: Anyway.

21:16

Aaron: This thing should have some sort of feedback

21:19

Adam K: Feedback.

21:20

Aaron: technology.

21:21

Adam K: I mean, the onion basically already made this thing, but no,

21:25

Adam K: I'm I'm going to look into this.

21:27

Adam K: I want to write about, you know, the gamer chair that gives

21:30

Adam K: everyone back problems.

21:31

Adam K: Uh, there's a bunch of this crap out there.

21:34

Adam K: So I'm going to do an article this week, just covering it in

21:38

Adam K: sort of a like, yeah, here's some like, this is useless tech

21:41

Adam K: that serves no purpose.

21:41

Adam K: It's related to my miniature

21:44

Adam K: journey of trying to find the

21:46

Adam K: perfect mouse.

21:48

Adam K: And I was like, but maybe I'm not doing enough.

21:51

Adam K: Maybe I'm not.

21:52

Adam K: Maybe I don't have the right I

21:53

Adam K: would, maybe I'd be better at an

21:56

Adam K: online video game if I had this

21:59

Adam K: mouth thing.

22:00

Adam K: And I can, I can finally communicate with my team without

22:02

Adam K: fear of my parents walking in.

22:05

Aaron: This so it can get your voice so you can still talk to.

22:09

Adam K: Yeah. And I'm building mine with a built in microphone as well.

22:12

Aaron: Okay.

22:13

Adam K: Yeah. Um, I'm also doing an upgrade where I'm going to have

22:16

Adam K: a built in fan, a bladeless silent fan, so that mine will be

22:21

Adam K: cooler because all the reviews I saw is it gets pretty sweaty and

22:23

Adam K: they're really fast.

22:26

Aaron: Yeah. I mean, it's like they should take off the mask and

22:29

Aaron: show their acne underneath from the from the sweat

22:33

Adam K: You

22:33

Aaron: being

22:33

Adam K: just have this

22:33

Aaron: pressed

22:33

Adam K: goatee

22:33

Aaron: against their skin.

22:34

Adam K: of whiteheads.

22:36

Aaron: Yeah.

22:38

Adam K: But

22:38

Aaron: It

22:38

Adam K: that's.

22:38

Aaron: should come.

22:39

Aaron: You should as an accessory, you should offer a Whitehead popper.

22:45

Adam K: Just, uh, what's the medicine people use?

22:49

Adam K: Whatever that stuff.

22:51

Adam K: They just give you some birth control.

22:53

Adam K: Not that you need

22:54

Aaron: It

22:54

Adam K: it.

22:54

Aaron: should be clear to why is this black?

22:58

Aaron: I guess they want to be ninjas or something, but

23:00

Adam K: Yeah, well.

23:01

Aaron: honestly, you can make it look like the Shredder mask too.

23:04

Aaron: That'd be cool.

23:05

Adam K: Yeah, I just, I bought this cheap ass airsoft mask thing

23:09

Adam K: that they sell for like five bucks on Temu.

23:12

Adam K: So it is gonna, it's gonna look

23:14

Adam K: like a gimp outfit no matter

23:16

Adam K: what.

23:17

Aaron: Yeah.

23:17

Adam K: So I think that's going to be

23:19

Adam K: the funny part where I'm wearing

23:21

Adam K: like this three pound thing on

23:22

Adam K: my face.

23:24

Adam K: Um, because originally I thought

23:26

Adam K: like, oh, maybe just use a

23:26

Adam K: motorcycle helmet.

23:28

Adam K: But then if you close the visor,

23:31

Adam K: it's going to get hot in there

23:33

Adam K: and it's probably gonna be

23:35

Adam K: really echoey.

23:36

Adam K: And I don't know how much it would actually like, you'd have

23:38

Adam K: to cover your, you put a sweater on your neck.

23:40

Adam K: I am going to do a V one.

23:41

Adam K: I was talking to my brother about this and he was like, you

23:43

Adam K: know, you could probably achieve the same thing by just stuffing

23:45

Adam K: some socks over your face.

23:47

Adam K: And so like, that's going to be

23:48

Adam K: my first one where I'm just

23:49

Adam K: gonna get some like tube socks

23:50

Adam K: stuff in my face and tie a belt

23:51

Adam K: around my head and be like, does

23:53

Adam K: this.

23:54

Adam K: It works.

23:54

Adam K: But I keep passing out and it,

23:57

Adam K: I, I'm too aroused while playing

23:59

Adam K: these games.

24:03

Aaron: This thing should also have an insert for the guys who just buy

24:07

Aaron: Japanese underwear off of eBay.

24:10

Aaron: It has just like you know how some of the masks, the Covid

24:13

Aaron: masks have the filter that you insert in out.

24:15

Aaron: It

24:15

Adam K: Yeah.

24:15

Aaron: just has a little slot where you put in the used underwear and

24:21

Adam K: I.

24:21

Aaron: you can, you know, and it has a meter that shows when the used

24:23

Aaron: underwear is lost, its essence.

24:26

Aaron: So you can dispose it and insert a new used underwear.

24:30

Adam K: Uh, I'm sending you.

24:32

Adam K: Are you, uh.

24:33

Adam K: How should I send you a message?

24:35

Adam K: I do it, I'm going to text you anyway.

24:39

Aaron: Or whatever.

24:40

Adam K: Um, check out.

24:42

Adam K: I don't know if I sent you the right ad.

24:43

Adam K: I always see this billboard in LA.

24:47

Adam K: It's called call big ik dot com.

24:51

Adam K: And the way the guy's smiling.

24:52

Adam K: I wanted to do some sort of, I don't know, Banksy

24:58

Aaron: This guy's

24:58

Adam K: style

24:58

Aaron: an ambulance

24:58

Adam K: thing.

24:59

Aaron: chaser.

24:59

Adam K: Well, instead of, you know, need to get right.

25:02

Adam K: I wanted to change to I buy or

25:04

Adam K: use underwear, no questions

25:06

Adam K: asked.

25:09

Adam K: It's just because his smug face is just like, yeah, I said it.

25:14

Adam K: Um, or just something like feet pics.

25:17

Adam K: Send them here and you know, there's an email address Anyway.

25:23

Aaron: Man

25:24

Adam K: You

25:24

Aaron: called

25:24

Adam K: mentioned

25:24

Aaron: big

25:24

Adam K: Japanese

Aaron: Yeah.

25:27

Adam K: had one loaded ready to go.

25:29

Adam K: Um, I did watch a video about

25:32

Adam K: like living in Shenzhen, which

25:35

Adam K: is, it is like the city of the

25:37

Adam K: future, but it'd be cool to

25:38

Adam K: visit, probably not cool to live

25:40

Adam K: there.

25:40

Adam K: Also, it's China.

25:41

Aaron: Where is this?

25:43

Adam K: Uh, it's a little outside of Hong Kong, but

25:44

Aaron: Shenzhen.

25:45

Adam K: Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen.

26:15

Adam K: Or to have rights.

26:17

Adam K: Well,

26:24

Adam K: his jean shorts screaming while these like Chinese tourists or

26:27

26:41

Aaron: Well, this is where BYD is headquartered.

26:43

26:44

Adam K: BYD, DJI and Bamboo Labs, a 3D printer company.

26:50

Adam K: There's a bunch of like, there's this like alley where people are

26:54

Adam K: just building prototypes all day, which seems pretty cool.

26:57

Adam K: Um,

26:58

Aaron: I don't go there.

26:59

Adam K: I was thinking about, yeah, um,

27:02

Adam K: I would like to go, I want to

27:04

Adam K: just do the whole, that whole

27:06

Adam K: area.

27:08

Adam K: Go see the disneylands owned by the Red guard and then go, uh, I

27:16

Adam K: don't know, save like Bangkok and Vietnam for the end.

27:20

Aaron: God. Seventeen and a half million people there live there.

27:24

Adam K: Yeah.

27:24

Aaron: That's

27:24

Adam K: It's nothing.

27:25

Aaron: a way.

27:27

Aaron: It's nothing.

27:27

Aaron: I guess Chinese standards, but

27:29

Adam K: Yeah.

27:29

Aaron: that's like, oh, but the city is

27:32

Aaron: also seven hundred and seventy

27:33

Aaron: square miles.

27:35

Aaron: What

27:35

Adam K: It

27:35

Aaron: is.

27:35

Adam K: it the crazy thing is, it's only like fifty years old.

27:39

Aaron: Yeah, I know, I've seen that.

27:40

Adam K: Yeah.

27:41

Aaron: I'm

27:41

Adam K: The

27:41

Aaron: trying

27:41

Adam K: but.

27:41

Aaron: to get a comparable seven

27:42

Aaron: hundred and seventy square

27:43

Aaron: miles.

27:45

Aaron: Trying to see what Austin is.

27:48

Adam K: I was

27:48

Aaron: Or

27:48

Adam K: just,

27:48

Aaron: maybe I

27:48

Adam K: I

27:48

Aaron: should

27:48

Adam K: was,

27:49

Aaron: see

27:49

Adam K: I

27:49

Aaron: LA,

27:49

Adam K: was watching

27:50

Aaron: but.

27:50

Adam K: a video about how depressing Los

27:52

Adam K: Angeles public transportation is

27:54

Adam K: and how it actually used to be

27:56

Adam K: great.

27:57

Adam K: Used to be the longest, uh,

27:59

Adam K: public transit line in the

28:01

Adam K: entire US.

28:02

Adam K: And

28:02

Aaron: Yeah.

28:02

Adam K: they gutted it all for freeways.

28:03

Adam K: And it's just it'll never be what it should be, which is easy

28:08

Adam K: to get around.

28:09

Adam K: And so I was just like, I don't know.

28:10

Adam K: So that one popped up and I was like, oh, man.

28:13

Adam K: But I feel like you gotta find a middle ground.

28:16

Adam K: So Prague.

28:17

Adam K: Prague

28:18

Aaron: A

28:18

Adam K: is

28:18

Aaron: middle

28:18

Adam K: the answer.

28:18

Aaron: ground between China and LA.

28:20

Aaron: Impossible.

28:23

Adam K: I want something that's walkable.

28:27

Adam K: A decent public transportation

28:28

Adam K: line where you don't feel like a

28:30

Adam K: sardine.

28:30

Adam K: So not like a, you know, a New

28:32

Adam K: York or, you know, rush hour LA

28:35

Adam K: situation.

28:36

Adam K: Um, just some

28:38

Aaron: So

28:38

Adam K: kind

28:39

Aaron: I

28:39

Adam K: of

28:39

Aaron: want

28:39

Adam K: light

28:39

Aaron: to

28:39

Adam K: rail.

28:39

Aaron: find a place that's not

28:41

Aaron: communist and racist and, uh,

28:46

Aaron: got their heads up their asses

28:47

Aaron: and you're

28:47

Adam K: Well,

28:48

Aaron: like,

28:48

Adam K: I didn't

28:48

Aaron: which

28:48

Adam K: say anything.

28:48

Aaron: city are you talking about?

28:50

Adam K: I didn't say anything about the racism because I can't do

28:52

Adam K: anything about that.

28:52

Adam K: And that's just going to come with wherever you go.

28:56

Adam K: It's

28:56

Aaron: Yeah.

28:56

Adam K: going to be racist, xenophobic, something, whatever.

29:00

Adam K: Everything's going to be a trade off.

29:01

Adam K: But anyway, I think Prague's the answer.

29:05

Aaron: I think Prague is also racist, but it's very beautiful.

29:09

Adam K: Yes, but the racism won't be directed at me all

29:14

Aaron: Yeah.

29:14

Adam K: the time, actually.

29:15

Adam K: I mean, once they hear me talk, they're gonna be like.

29:19

Aaron: Now would be some weird thing where you're it's like a

29:21

Aaron: religion thing where,

29:22

Adam K: Mhm.

29:22

Aaron: like, you're not a specific

29:24

Aaron: version of Catholicism or

29:26

Aaron: something.

29:26

Aaron: And

29:26

Adam K: Yeah.

29:26

Aaron: they're like, because you didn't, you know, and that's,

29:29

Aaron: that's what gets you in trouble.

29:31

Adam K: There is some, like, Russian guy

29:33

Adam K: doing a deep dive on my family

29:35

Adam K: tree.

29:38

Aaron: You know, this guy.

29:39

Adam K: No, I don't um, a family member pointed it out to me over the

29:44

Adam K: weekend and said, oh, by the way, I, I was trying to do some

29:47

Adam K: research on family.

29:48

Adam K: And then I found this guy on like ancestry dot com or one of

29:52

Adam K: those places or whatever, unrelated to our family.

29:55

Adam K: Um, but he basically tracked like our entire lineage, I think

30:00

Adam K: goes all the way back to Serbia or something like that.

30:02

Adam K: But basically the original last name used to be Kovacevic and

30:08

Adam K: that basically just means Smith.

30:11

Adam K: So I was like, And all of this were still just Smith's.

30:15

Aaron: Yeah.

30:16

Adam K: Um, but we have a I think I sent this to you, right?

30:18

Adam K: We have a flag.

30:20

Adam K: We have a family flag that

30:21

Adam K: depicts the sultan that we

30:23

Adam K: beheaded in order to get some

30:24

Adam K: like land

30:26

Aaron: Right.

30:26

Adam K: so that.

30:27

Aaron: And then there's a guy on his knees in front of another guy, I

30:31

Aaron: guess just worshipping him.

30:33

Aaron: I wasn't sure what

30:34

Adam K: It's

30:34

Aaron: that was

30:34

Adam K: a group

30:34

Aaron: about.

30:35

Adam K: of guys.

30:35

Aaron: Yeah.

30:36

Adam K: Yeah. And he has he's just he has his eyes closed, his mouth

30:42

Adam K: open, waiting to receive the Word of God.

30:45

Aaron: The word of God. Yes.

30:46

Adam K: Yes.

30:47

Aaron: Someone's placing their sceptre on his forehead.

30:50

Aaron: I can't remember.

30:51

Aaron: Yeah.

30:51

Adam K: There's a few of them.

30:53

Aaron: Mhm.

30:53

Adam K: Yeah. There's a couple of Japanese businessmen just

30:56

Adam K: hanging out for

30:56

Aaron: And

30:56

Adam K: some

30:56

Aaron: there's

30:57

Adam K: reason.

30:57

Aaron: a cookie in the middle that they're all jizzing on.

31:00

Aaron: This is all in the crest, of

31:02

Adam K: You

31:02

Aaron: course.

31:02

Adam K: don't you don't have to explain the joke.

31:04

Adam K: This isn't a an

31:05

Aaron: It

31:05

Adam K: online

31:05

Aaron: was so

31:06

Adam K: sketch

31:06

Aaron: belabored.

31:07

Adam K: show.

31:09

Adam K: Yeah.

31:09

Aaron: Um.

31:10

Adam K: Yeah. Anyway, all that to say, I

31:14

Adam K: forgot what I was going with

31:14

Adam K: that.

31:15

Adam K: But anyway, that's what I did with my weekend.

31:18

Aaron: My, I think I've told you this before, but my with my family

31:23

Aaron: ancestry, you know, like in the seventeen hundreds, they, there

31:27

Aaron: were two brothers that, um, were crazy alcoholics like severe

31:33

Aaron: alcoholics is like one's name was Magnus and the other one's

31:37

Aaron: names like Albert I think.

31:39

Aaron: And they were the Marquis and they both spelt one spelt their

31:43

Aaron: name like Marquis, how I spell it, and the other spelt Marquis

31:47

Aaron: with an extra s on the end.

31:49

Aaron: And they were brothers and whatever.

31:51

Aaron: But anyway they were.

31:52

Aaron: I guess they were causing a lot of problems in the town, uh,

31:56

Aaron: that they lived, even though they were like owned a huge

31:59

Aaron: amount of land and tobacco farms and all this stuff.

32:01

Aaron: I think they were just they were huge assholes.

32:04

Aaron: And the town one, uh, the first brother, they decided to take

32:09

Aaron: him to task or whatever, and they had him declared a lunatic.

32:14

Aaron: And, uh, they took away his land and all this stuff.

32:17

Aaron: And I told, I think I told you this and then then the other

32:20

Adam K: You did

32:20

Aaron: brother.

32:20

Adam K: tell me, but I forgot all of it.

32:22

Aaron: Yeah. And then the other brother

32:24

Aaron: would just double down on being

32:25

Aaron: an asshole.

32:26

Aaron: And then they declared him a lunatic, too, and, uh, made him

32:30

Aaron: serve in the military at, like, the local, uh, this.

32:34

Aaron: I can't remember what military it was, but anyway, and my

32:37

Aaron: family kept going like, yeah, they they had this grudge

32:41

Aaron: because my family still deals with alcoholism and they have

32:44

Aaron: all their little alcoholic, weird, like rationalizations.

32:48

Aaron: And they were trying to say like it was the town's fault for

32:52

Aaron: declaring them lunatic when obviously, if you read between

32:55

Aaron: the lines like, these guys are like going around after getting

32:58

Aaron: on a bender and just riding their horses into, into like

33:03

Aaron: restaurants and stuff and just throwing things and doing all

33:06

Aaron: sorts of stuff.

33:06

Aaron: That.

33:07

Aaron: And then my family, like in the family history that was written

33:11

Aaron: like, I think thirty years ago, they were talking about how just

33:15

Aaron: sad it was that the brothers, you know, they had their agency

33:19

Aaron: taken away and all this stuff.

33:20

Aaron: And but, you know, it also talks

33:23

Aaron: about how sad it was that they

33:24

Aaron: lost all their land and property

33:26

Aaron: and slaves and, you know, all

33:28

Aaron: this stuff.

33:28

Aaron: I was like, God damn, this is

33:33

Aaron: the worst family history I've

33:34

Aaron: ever seen.

33:37

Adam K: I do like that they're blaming.

33:39

Adam K: They're still blaming other

33:40

Adam K: people for other for their own

33:42

Adam K: poor behavior.

33:43

Aaron: Oh, yeah.

33:44

Aaron: And I kind of wanted to do a write up on it because I have

33:47

Aaron: all this stuff and I wanted to do like just a write up on, on

33:51

Aaron: them and how they were just, I mean, essentially they were the,

33:55

Aaron: the, the town drunks, but they were extremely wealthy.

33:59

Aaron: So it's basically the town having enough of their, their

34:03

Aaron: bullshit to where they all collectively came together and

34:07

Aaron: had them declared lunatics.

34:09

Adam K: I mean, in a way, they're heroes

34:11

Adam K: because they brought the town

34:12

Adam K: together.

34:13

Aaron: Right.

34:14

Adam K: That's

34:14

Aaron: Yeah,

34:14

Adam K: the thing I'm

34:15

Aaron: it's.

34:15

Adam K: always talking about.

34:15

Adam K: That's that's the the villain, the the thing we all need to

34:18

Adam K: like rally behind.

34:20

Aaron: It's sort of like Footloose, but

34:22

Aaron: with slave owning tobacco

34:24

Aaron: farmers.

34:24

Adam K: All right.

34:26

Adam K: Uh, if I get put on this jury duty thing, if I, if I get

34:31

Adam K: selected, I'm going to buy

34:31

Aaron: Yeah. You can use my family history if you

34:33

Adam K: what?

34:33

Aaron: want.

34:34

Adam K: No, I was gonna,

34:35

Aaron: Oh.

34:35

Adam K: I was gonna buy one of those smart glasses like Ray-Ban so I

34:38

Adam K: can watch The Saint and Footloose because those are two

34:41

Adam K: movies I haven't seen.

34:44

Aaron: During the trial.

34:45

Adam K: Yeah. I mean,

34:46

Aaron: Oh,

34:46

Adam K: look,

34:46

Aaron: okay.

34:46

Adam K: I'm, I'm going to make up my

34:48

Adam K: mind before I even walk in that

34:49

Adam K: room.

34:50

Aaron: Mhm.

34:50

Adam K: I don't need to hear no. And I'm going to say this when I finally

34:54

Adam K: have to go in and they ask me the questions, I'm like, look,

34:56

Adam K: I, I know within three seconds of someone's innocent or guilty.

34:59

Aaron: I think you should do a reverse OJ.

35:01

Aaron: I think that you know how the black jurors were, you know,

35:06

Aaron: supposedly responding to the injustices of of that black

35:11

Aaron: people had experienced at the hands of the LAPD,

35:14

Adam K: Yeah.

35:14

Aaron: which of course they had.

35:15

Aaron: Um,

35:16

Adam K: Yeah.

35:16

Aaron: you do the reverse and you

35:19

Aaron: respond to the letting go of

35:22

Aaron: O.J.

35:22

Aaron: Simpson to whatever this

35:24

Aaron: domestic abuse case or, or, or

35:26

Aaron: speeding ticket or whatever it

35:28

Aaron: is that you do, like in your

35:29

Aaron: mind.

35:30

Adam K: Your honor, life in prison.

35:32

Adam K: He just ran a red light.

35:34

Aaron: Yeah.

35:36

Adam K: The full, fullest extent of the law.

35:39

Adam K: My

35:39

Aaron: Throw the book at

35:40

Adam K: liege.

35:40

Aaron: him.

35:41

Adam K: Just very confused about where we are, what we're doing.

35:45

Adam K: And I

35:45

Aaron: Mhm.

35:45

Adam K: just go off to Chinatown to ask him how to say Shenzhen.

35:49

Aaron: They declare you a lunatic.

35:50

Adam K: Yeah, but then I'm on trial for witness tampering.

35:57

Adam K: Uh.

35:57

Aaron: I can just imagine my family like those two brothers.

36:01

Aaron: You ever see those videos of, like Karens being arrested

36:05

Adam K: Yes.

36:05

Aaron: where they're like, you are, you

36:07

Aaron: have no fucking clue what you're

36:09

Aaron: doing.

36:09

Aaron: You have no idea how bad this is

36:11

Aaron: going to be for you, blah, blah,

36:12

Aaron: blah.

36:12

Aaron: And it's just like, it's these two guys with enormous sideburns

36:17

Aaron: who smell like booze and like, like you don't know what you're

36:24

Aaron: getting into, blah, blah, blah.

36:25

Aaron: And then they're like, Magnus,

36:28

Aaron: get in that fucking cell right

36:30

Aaron: now.

36:30

Aaron: We're gonna beat you until you die and take away all your land.

36:34

Aaron: He's like, good point.

36:38

Adam K: A curse on your houses?

36:41

Aaron: Magnus, I'm going to look this up.

36:43

Aaron: I'm going to share this with you.

36:45

Adam K: Yeah, it does sound like a condom brand.

36:48

Aaron: Yeah.

36:50

Adam K: Just try not to step on intellectual property.

36:54

Adam K: Anyway, we should wrap this up

36:57

Adam K: as I gotta go, and I still have

36:58

Adam K: to upload this without anyone

36:59

Adam K: noticing, so.

37:01

Aaron: I can't.

37:02

Aaron: This is amazing that you that we've excelled as a as a species

37:09

37:13

Adam K: This.

37:13

Aaron: very Los Angeles of you.
