It's time for another Thursday edition of Thursday thought Crime. And there are so many thought crimes. Yes, thought crimes are abundant around in our society, in our world, online, offline. Wherever you go, you may run into a thought crime. And in fact, when you're getting money out of an ATM late at night in inner city Philadelphia, look over your shoulder because there might be a thought crime creeping up behind you. 00:01:45 Speaker 4: Yes, So who we got on deck today? 00:01:47 Speaker 2: I am, of course in studio, but it looks like we got AK forty seven himself, Andrew Covet. What's up Andrew? 00:01:54 Speaker 5: What's up? 00:01:55 Speaker 3: Jack? How's the weather been? Latest? 00:01:57 Speaker 6: F Yeah, were waiting. 00:01:59 Speaker 2: On Tyler a legend, Tyler Tyler is joining Tyler's coming. 00:02:04 Speaker 3: He's party as usual, he claims he's coming. 00:02:08 Speaker 2: He's he's on what we call Mormon time, okay, And it's a little a little bit different than you know, regular time. The same reason that you know they don't go for daylight savings. They have different numerology. It's it's it's one of those things, right, Blake pretty much? 00:02:24 Speaker 6: Yeah, he always uh he always leaves us on our toasts. You never know when he'll he'll surface. 00:02:30 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, like Jesus, I could be right behind me. The team. 00:02:34 Speaker 2: He's like a thought crime. 00:02:36 Speaker 3: The team is ready for him when he enters. Let me just assure you. 00:02:39 Speaker 2: You know, they say, you know, they say that thirteen percent of thought crimes cause fifty percent of all the thought crimes. 00:02:49 Speaker 3: What you know, it's funny thirteen percent of the time they work every time, So Jack, you know it's funny that you actually are onto something. Probably about thirteen percent of the thought crimes that we do on the show end up going viral in one way, shape or another. 00:03:02 Speaker 6: But that involved Lord of the Rings. 00:03:07 Speaker 3: Jack, right about that? 00:03:09 Speaker 2: Still pagans still overtly pagan. 00:03:14 Speaker 3: Don't wait, don't we have the. 00:03:15 Speaker 2: Line overtly overtly pagan? 00:03:20 Speaker 3: There? 00:03:20 Speaker 2: It is the pagan that's becoming like a meme. Now every time I post something, they're like, oh, Jack, is that overtly pagan? 00:03:29 Speaker 3: Too? 00:03:30 Speaker 2: Goes. I was like, I went to see like the actually I have it here, this isn't branded, But I went to see the Super Mario Galaxy with my kids. 00:03:37 Speaker 6: Is that pagan? 00:03:39 Speaker 3: The thing? 00:03:39 Speaker 2: They're like, they're like Super Mario Galaxy overtly pagan. 00:03:44 Speaker 6: I mean, is super Mario Galaxy? 00:03:46 Speaker 5: Is it Pagan? 00:03:47 Speaker 6: I feel like it's gotta be right. 00:03:49 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is absolutely obviously. I mean it's got turtle Wizards. 00:03:55 Speaker 3: I'm I'm on a set with two Catholics right now. You guys have me beat on the identify find of Pagan. 00:04:01 Speaker 6: On the other hand, Mario is Italian, and I feel like him being Italian implicitly means well. 00:04:07 Speaker 2: So actually, wait, so this is wait no, there's actually a great uh line about this because the Legend of zeldas you know link the main character in Legend of Zelda, everyone thinks his name is Eelda. It's is actually link that if you go back, I think in the Japanese versions of like the original Legend of Zelda, he he is like explicitly Catholic and they've got like crosses and on his shield and there's like Bibles. But it's like the Japanese version of the Middle Ages, so it's like it's it's like he has actual magical powers and abilities as well. And then in the American version they changed it up. 00:04:43 Speaker 6: Yeah they do. Oh, they definitely have. There's a did you ever play Castlevania back in the day. 00:04:48 Speaker 3: I know that one. 00:04:50 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, and you fight Dracula and stuff and in the manual it is it is canonical in the manual that the Pope called a crusade against Dracula. And that's why you have to go big Dracula. 00:05:01 Speaker 5: Wow, because I ordered you to do it. 00:05:02 Speaker 3: You know, we really didn't talk enough on the show about because I think we covered in the Daily Show. But the the Japanese American connection, how strong it is. 00:05:11 Speaker 5: Oh, it's great. 00:05:12 Speaker 3: We love gave us the like the Twitter purge. We all love. 00:05:15 Speaker 6: We love our Japan. 00:05:16 Speaker 3: Good. Yeah, I have a I need to go to Japan. You've been to yes, you went with Charlie, But I have not gone to Japan to a place. Wow. I think I feel like I really want to know. Actually, I bet I when I was in. 00:05:32 Speaker 2: When I was in fleet, you know, Japan obviously was like our headquarters to anything that was you know, like conference wise or that I had to go to for whatever reason, would be in you Cosco. So you know you're coming up, You're flying through Tokyo and I mean it's just the I'll never forget, you know, just riding around on the metro in Japan and seeing how kids it's so safe that they let their kids just ride mass transit to like go to school by them selves. There you go, and it's like and it's kind of jarring at first, You're like, where are the parents for these children? And they're just like, you know, dressed for school and they're going like little kids and they're just like dressed for school and with their uniforms and then off they go, and it's it's very it's just very neat and orderly. 00:06:19 Speaker 3: I I remember that with some of Charlie's selfie videos and like social media videos, but that was actually I remember him saying that about South Korea. 00:06:26 Speaker 6: Actually South Korea was the one where he was walking. I mean that was where he walks through the park and the people are on like the bubble chairs and those would obviously be like covered with graffitihati. 00:06:35 Speaker 3: Yeah, which is sad. We don't have to live this way, but we've decided to import a permanent underclass. 00:06:41 Speaker 6: And though what I will say Korea is the place is the dirty version of Japan. So if Korea is clean, Japan is hyper clean. 00:06:49 Speaker 2: He just went and China is China is like ten times, like ten thousand times worse than Korea. Japan is incredible. So also the remember the trash can thing in Japan? 00:07:03 Speaker 6: Yes, the fact that they don't exist exactly. Oh, hold on, do we have a musical cue? 00:07:09 Speaker 5: We have music playing? 00:07:11 Speaker 6: Is this Japanese someone is arriving? It's late arrival? Themes? 00:07:17 Speaker 2: Mormon music, Mormon theme songs, this Mormon music. 00:07:21 Speaker 3: I think it is. 00:07:22 Speaker 5: It must be. He wouldn't listen to it if it wasn't. 00:07:25 Speaker 3: Is it like mandated? 00:07:29 Speaker 5: This is a new. 00:07:30 Speaker 3: Shoes new shoes. 00:07:31 Speaker 5: This is one of my favorite. If I was going to have a podcast, this would be my intrip. 00:07:36 Speaker 6: Well, if I was making her, if I was making your theme song for you arriving late, it would it would probably be I'd probably go. 00:07:42 Speaker 5: Like Charlie wul Be, like we would like find out like a few minutes before like the podcast, He's like it's like I'm not gonna be there or I would be late, and then we would have to like stall like that's the next For last four weeks, I feel like, all right, well. 00:07:57 Speaker 3: Since. 00:07:59 Speaker 2: So we were well, no, I want to want to hit on this more so so, Tyler, we were just kind of like I don't even remember how we got there, but we were sort of loving on Japan and talking about how Japan and America really need to like be allies now, and that was like a big trend on Twitter. Trump met with the Prime Minister, the new Prime Minister. 00:08:18 Speaker 4: Of Japan in the White House, and. 00:08:21 Speaker 2: You know that kind of just and then but at the same time, Twitter like they sort of did this bot purge. I don't know if it was a full bot purge or something, but it just made it so that Americans could see Japanese accounts more and for people don't know that for a long time, Japan has been the largest country on Twitter that has the largest daily active users DAUS for any country, even more than America. It's just sort of like their their main social media there in Japan, and you know, people didn't realize that the Japanese had so much affection for the United States of America, and you know that led to this kind of you know, rekindling of the bromance or perhaps like perhaps you could even say like a like a you know, blessing of the bromance between America and Japan. And of course that I came out and said on human events that we need to go a step further and we need to remilitarize Japan. We need to allow them to have their full navy back. Let him get nuclear weapons, like, let's go all in. 00:09:25 Speaker 3: The memes have been so good. 00:09:26 Speaker 2: Though, for the record, it wouldn't be the first time that we gave Japan nukes. Oh, just you know, a different ways. 00:09:35 Speaker 6: Not too soon, So it's not too not too soon. 00:09:37 Speaker 2: Not too soon, not too soon. 00:09:39 Speaker 4: Trump Trump made the joke about Pearl Harbor, remember, because. 00:09:42 Speaker 6: That's kind of where it started. All this all right, now. 00:09:46 Speaker 2: Do we have it? 00:09:47 Speaker 6: No, we don't. 00:09:48 Speaker 3: We should have. 00:09:49 Speaker 2: Oh, because because he goes, just for anyone who hasn't heard it, he goes, they said, well, you know, why didn't you tell us about the I guess it was like a Japanese reporter or something like, why didn't you tell us about the surprise attack on Iran? 00:10:02 Speaker 4: He said, why didn't you tell us about Pearl Harper. 00:10:05 Speaker 6: Yeah, no, we saw we saw it. No, but we we speaking of a country that used to be a US ally. We have another country. So now people are saying Japan is our best ally or our best. 00:10:16 Speaker 3: Friend, hold on our greatest ally, should we play a video since we're talking? 00:10:20 Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, I want to we have we have we we saw that before. We've got to get to We've got to get to the the x US ally, the decaying us ally. It was a special relationship now it's more just very special in that special way, which is the UK. The UK is banning travel from America to Japan at least if you are one specific person. 00:10:43 Speaker 3: I yes, and that person would be well Kanye with multiple names. 00:10:49 Speaker 6: He does have many. 00:10:49 Speaker 3: Names, Kanye, Kanye West. What do you what do we call? Is it? Is it you now? I don't care. 00:10:56 Speaker 5: I don't care. 00:10:56 Speaker 6: I call it Kanye West because when they changed too much, it's not my obligation to know what it is. 00:11:01 Speaker 3: Jesus, Jesus, there it is? Did you like? 00:11:06 Speaker 4: I gotta say, though, wait, do we have the video? 00:11:09 Speaker 2: Do we have the video of that? What do they call it? The world stage that he was using with the with the fog, because we can you know that that was him standing on it. 00:11:20 Speaker 4: But dude, look at this. Is this not the coolest aage you've ever seen? 00:11:25 Speaker 5: It really is. 00:11:27 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, It's the coolest stage I've ever stag. 00:11:29 Speaker 5: I've also never said. I also think that that was the widest crowd that Kanye has ever had it. 00:11:34 Speaker 2: Look at this? 00:11:35 Speaker 3: Where was this? 00:11:35 Speaker 6: Look at this? 00:11:36 Speaker 5: I think that was in in California at the uh at the end of it, that's sick. 00:11:41 Speaker 2: Oh, I see, I thought that was fear. I thought that was one of those fear things. 00:11:45 Speaker 5: Oh was it? I thought I thought he did his concert into it though that was amazing, But I saw a video of it. 00:11:53 Speaker 2: I just found out that. Oh wait, I don't want to say this. Shoot okay, never mind blame my last I'm not going to say that because it might be a surprise for Kanya. And you watch just this. 00:12:04 Speaker 5: I saw like people taking videos from the crowd, and I was just like interested, Like who showed up? And it was a very white crowd at this thing at Kanye Kanye's concert. Well Kany, And again, I think I think Kanye's appealed to a lot of that thing, a lot of people of different diverse backgrounds. But it was definitely there was definitely He's definitely gained a lot of new wider fans. 00:12:35 Speaker 6: Probably probably is that just a way of saying that he's because he's embraced certain controversial. 00:12:39 Speaker 5: Players that he No, I'm not saying it. 00:12:44 Speaker 4: I'm just expect him to have a less white audience if he does that. 00:12:48 Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, that's what that's Yeah, I think I think that that's more popular. 00:12:52 Speaker 3: That's interesting about this, though, is he's been on this like apology tour trying to say hey, I'm he's going with the like Jewish abby saying sorry, and then he gets blocked. This is fair. I don't understand how this even happened, Like, why would the UK go out of their way to block Kanye? What's the explanation they're giving just because of. 00:13:11 Speaker 6: They want us to be stuck with him? 00:13:12 Speaker 4: They've they've blocked people before, They've blocked Michael Savage. 00:13:16 Speaker 3: Yeah, Michael Savage. 00:13:18 Speaker 5: Michael Savage can go yeah. 00:13:20 Speaker 3: The conservative commentator. 00:13:24 Speaker 6: I'm sort of with two minds on this one. I don't know why we're supposed to care that much about what Kanye West says. And I thought it was weird when we had that episode, especially a couple of years ago. 00:13:35 Speaker 3: If like that the real thought crime, like why do it? Like, why do people care what Kanye West has to Like? 00:13:41 Speaker 6: As far as I'm concerned, not really. 00:13:45 Speaker 5: Rap is not really music. 00:13:46 Speaker 6: And on top of that, like when they say insane things, it's really just barely a step above a crazy guy on the subway saying insane things. And I don't feel that Kanye is that far away from that caboose. 00:13:57 Speaker 3: Could we get some Can we get some Kanye track that you actually like? Or do you? Are you against? 00:14:02 Speaker 7: Well? 00:14:02 Speaker 5: Here's what's the most crazy part of this. One of the most popular again I don't I don't like the song, but one of those popular songs ever was his collaboration that he did for American Boy. 00:14:14 Speaker 3: I don't even know it. 00:14:15 Speaker 5: Does anybody know the song Amery no No? I proudly don't. 00:14:22 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's about what was that song? 00:14:24 Speaker 5: It's about a British It's about a British girl being into an American guy, and Kanye is is did the did the collab on that? And now he can't go to the UK? 00:14:41 Speaker 3: My, that is full circle. My favorite thing that Kanye sort of had a hand in doing was you remember when he did that music video with Kim Kardashian on the motorcycle. 00:14:52 Speaker 5: No, you don't know. 00:14:55 Speaker 6: I don't really know Kanye until until he started running for President. 00:15:01 Speaker 3: That's the video. Uh so bound too, So it's just super weird. The whole music video is like them on a motorcycle and it's like gyrating, like I don't know, and Kim Kardashian is not wearing a whole lot or anything at all. And then anyways, but the point is Seth Rogan and James Franco did a whole mock like parody of it. Where where Seth Rogan's writing on it? We should get this, we should get this. 00:15:32 Speaker 5: I think is Stelle that did that song with Kanye was at that concert. I think she showed up as one of his because he had a bunch of guest appearances. I think she was. I think she came out and sang with it. I don't know. 00:15:44 Speaker 3: Uh, well, anyways, we don't seem that passionate about Kanye. Nobody seems to care. 00:15:48 Speaker 6: Well I care. I just I kind of treat care. I fold Kanye in with all other rappers, which is you just want to I just aggressively want to dump on them, Like why do people like this stuff? I think it is a setback for the right that people on the right are fans of rap music that's not Kanye. 00:16:04 Speaker 5: Though, this is Kanye, this is Delle, this is his version of it. Stell sings a song original. He just the guy mumbled, she sings this song and then he raps. 00:16:15 Speaker 3: I didn't realize. Here we go. 00:16:17 Speaker 5: He said, wait, no, speed up, it's it's it's for their it's for do we have to listen to this Harry song in London? 00:16:26 Speaker 3: Oh that's Kanye the. 00:16:28 Speaker 5: Money right now? 00:16:30 Speaker 3: I remember this? I you know I was this. 00:16:34 Speaker 6: Was that song really enhanced by having a guy like jabbering in it? 00:16:38 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's he's the American boy in the song. I mean, that's not who she wrote the song for. But in this, in that version, here's more Kanye. But that was a very a very popular song. But that's isn't that? 00:16:53 Speaker 3: This is a this is a big hit. 00:16:54 Speaker 5: Okay, it was a big hit. So what so is the so is the Barbie Girl song? 00:17:00 Speaker 3: Ah? 00:17:01 Speaker 5: Here's my question? What if America banned popular British people from coming to America? 00:17:07 Speaker 3: It would be like like, are there media freak? 00:17:12 Speaker 5: Imagine we lose if we banned How is imagine pretty banned media doing with this? Imagine if we banned Uh, I don't know. 00:17:22 Speaker 2: I can't even think of the Beatles. 00:17:24 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, the Beatles. I mean, I don't know if you could compare Kanye Now to keep Beatles, but American titled Kyle Hitler. 00:17:36 Speaker 3: So the summer it was it was John Lennon who had the Hitler stuff. 00:17:40 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean John Lennon. I guess that's a good point, Like you could probably compare Kanye West and John Lennon, Yeah you could. And like if if we if we would have banned, if we would have banned John Lennon, Hu, yeah, he said tons of controversial politicals. 00:17:56 Speaker 2: I think Nixon did try to ban John Lennon. 00:17:59 Speaker 5: Yeah, but if he would have and that it would have been World War three. 00:18:02 Speaker 2: No, but I mean I think he did actually try to do it, like they were trying to pull his his immigration or something. 00:18:08 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, Nixon wanted to. Also, John Lennon once proposed putting Hitler on the cover of Sergeant Pepper's. 00:18:14 Speaker 7: Oh see yeah, so okay again, like he's there's a lot of like provocative people on the Sergeant Pepper's album if you if you look close lately, so here's because it's like. 00:18:25 Speaker 2: A whole array of you know, dead celebrity famous people. 00:18:30 Speaker 3: Et cetera. 00:18:31 Speaker 2: Here's McCartney, who who died in between the filming or the recording of Revolver and Sergeant Pepper and was secretly replaced by a guy by the name of Billy Shears. And because as we know, Paul McCartney actually died and in a car crash, and there's like secrets hidden in the lyrics. 00:18:51 Speaker 3: I wasn't expecting this, I have to say, but death of Recess it stopped me in my tracks. This isn't about dodgeballs and jungle gyms, about control. The modern American classroom didn't just happen. It was intentionally designed. It was standardized and centralized. And once you see who built it and who protects it, everything clicks. Billions of dollars are flowing through education bureaucracies every year, test scores collapse, and somehow the answer is always more money and less parental authority. The documentary breaks down how organizations like the NEA amassed enormous influence, how radical gender ideology entered classrooms, and why something as basic as recess movement, freedom childhood, you know, had to go. That's not random, that's systemic. Institutions protect themselves. They do not protect your kids. And that's why this documentary exists on Angel Studio streaming platform Angel Guild. Angel Guild is willing to distribute films that challenge powerful systems when legacy media won't touch them. So right now, go to angel dot com slash Charlie and watch Death of Recess. Right now. If your parent or planned to be you need to see this. That's Angel dot com slash Charlie and watch Death of Recess. 00:20:08 Speaker 5: Okay, so, but here's the I hadn't even heard this. Here's the thought that. 00:20:12 Speaker 2: You didn't know that docccartney died in nineteen sixty six and was. 00:20:15 Speaker 5: Never heard of. 00:20:16 Speaker 6: The dead conspiracy. No, it's behind Mike Huckabee on that one. 00:20:20 Speaker 5: I remember Huckaby. 00:20:21 Speaker 6: Actually the whole Paul is Dead thing while running for president. 00:20:24 Speaker 3: Do you think it's real? You actually believe it? Jay Paul is dead. 00:20:29 Speaker 2: I mean, it's you just you have to believe the songs. It's all there, it's all there, it's way. 00:20:35 Speaker 3: Which song do they say, which song do they say reveals this that has the hidden. 00:20:40 Speaker 6: Well, there's a song in like all of them. There's a song in the White album that is titled Paul McCartney is dead, but don't talk about this song and don't tell anyone about it and just pretend this doesn't exist. But it's on this album. He's dead and he was replaced by this guy. 00:20:54 Speaker 2: So it's on the track the song I'm So Tired. It's the song I'm So Tired. Ellen on Revolver has that at the end of it. It's where it's like, if you play it backwards, you hear you hear is dead. And and there's a bunch of like hidden clues within the Sergeant Pepper album. For example, on the cover of Sergeant Pepper, someone has like an open hand over Paul McCartney's head and they say that that in like Eastern religions, like like Hinduism, that we know that the Beatles were like heavily into around this time. They'd gone and hung out in India, and they were like tight with Robbie shang Gar, George Harrison was and whose daughter is NORAA Jones? Funny enough, you know, And. 00:21:38 Speaker 6: So I guess that's really convenient in and. 00:21:41 Speaker 4: So that's like a sign of death basically. 00:21:45 Speaker 6: Okay, so is it really convenient in the story then that they found a guy who not only looked like Paul McCartney but was also a transcendentally good songwriter. Because Paul McCartney or his impostor has continued to write songs and they've. 00:21:57 Speaker 3: Maybe they've been well received. Maybe they just went through some of the like recorded tracks that were never released and you just started releasing. 00:22:04 Speaker 2: Yeah, Or but if you have the Beatles with the Beatles. 00:22:09 Speaker 6: What if John Lennon was actually still alive secretly and he was writing the music attributed to Paul McCartney even after Yeah he was so so John was. 00:22:17 Speaker 2: Alive for a decade after the Beatles. 00:22:22 Speaker 3: So yeah, you could see things like. 00:22:26 Speaker 2: So you see the hand over the head, there's stuff, you know over Paul. You could see there's what is it like with the with the doll on the far right, you know, there's it's like a Freddy Krueger kind of like like shears, like like scissors. I think there's some what is the one thing? Where's the there's like a car on the kids knee and that's supposed to be a reference to the you know the death of Paul McCartney in a car crash, and and there's that song on the on the white album that Ringo sings where the it talks about you. You know, I'm so you know you wait, hold on line. It's you were in a car crash and you lost your hair. 00:23:07 Speaker 6: And you're forgetting, forgetting the big one, Jack, You're forgetting the big one, which is the cover of Abbey Road, which is Paul McCartney is one. He has his right. 00:23:15 Speaker 5: Foot in front of him instead of his left. 00:23:16 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can that, So he's barefoot and yeah, and he's barefoot. So so the cover of Abbey Road is actually a funeral procession, and so uh you have John Lennon is there as the you know, like the angel then and that's why he's all white. 00:23:35 Speaker 4: Then Ringo Star is in all blacks, so he's. 00:23:38 Speaker 2: Like the priest. Then Paul is the one being buried, and then Georgia of course is the grave digger. So him being barefoot while he's on on asphalt on a sunny day when it's hot, that signifies death. The fact that he has his cigarette in his right hand, even though everybody knows that Paul McCartney was left handed, you know, shows that it's an impossible there. 00:24:00 Speaker 6: Uh man. 00:24:01 Speaker 2: There was something with the license plate as well. That I forget of the Beatle that you you. 00:24:06 Speaker 5: Heard You've never heard of that, but I have no. But I'm like, are you faking? 00:24:14 Speaker 6: Because the Mormon Church was well the Beatles. 00:24:16 Speaker 5: The Beatles are so disinteresting to me, Like I'm so disinterested only the. 00:24:21 Speaker 2: Past period the most innovative band, clearly the most popular band. There will never be a band at more popular than the Beatles. 00:24:30 Speaker 3: I actually agree with that, j And I hate that. 00:24:32 Speaker 5: I hate that about the band. 00:24:33 Speaker 3: So this is These are Paul McCartney's post Beatles career, spanning solo work and wings, produced numerous hits, critically acclaimed tracks. Check us out Band on the Run the Beatles. Maybe I'm amazed, that's a huge song. 00:24:45 Speaker 5: But here here's the Beatles. 00:24:48 Speaker 3: Live and Let Live and Let Die Jet coming up. 00:24:51 Speaker 5: The Beatles did so much damage to American the American youth. How so, I just think their influence was so negative at a time that that was an outlet for people that like were turning away from like basic American principles and they were Oh so. 00:25:10 Speaker 2: You'll say that about the Beatles, but you won't say that about Lord of the Rings, who those people were also into. 00:25:16 Speaker 5: Oh good, I don't want to cause you more problems than you already have. With Lord of the Rings. 00:25:21 Speaker 6: Fans jack overtly and I will cause. 00:25:25 Speaker 3: People. 00:25:25 Speaker 2: In the nineteen sixties loved Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings was like the hippie Bible. 00:25:30 Speaker 6: Hold on, don't talk about Zeppelin. We're going to talk about the effects. 00:25:34 Speaker 2: Like we have to be fair about this. 00:25:37 Speaker 5: Okay, listen, I'm back to the Beatles. The Beatles were like like subverting American culture at the time. They turned heart's young, hearts and minds away from pro American values. And you can't change my mind. 00:25:58 Speaker 6: So you're saying that you know that there was a plot against Paul. 00:26:03 Speaker 3: And could be Yeah, he's kind of playing into your stereotype here. 00:26:09 Speaker 5: That very well could be. 00:26:11 Speaker 3: So so what's interesting is I heard this one time. It was a cultural critic about the Beatles, and he was saying, you know, everybody wanted to hear what the Beatles had to say. The only problem with the Beatles is they said nothing. And I think that's kind of interesting. It was sort of they said stuff, obviously, but they didn't really have like something they were we're. 00:26:35 Speaker 6: Complaining that the Beatles don't have a hard hitting political message. I feel like we've got plenty of hard hitting and political message, well nowadays do, but yeah, now we. 00:26:42 Speaker 3: Have Tyler's point maybe like if you have this whole sort of malaise with the youth then turning away from traditional values, and they're kind of emblematic of that into this like ethereal nothingness that they were leading everybody in. 00:26:56 Speaker 5: Yeah, I would agree with that. I actually think the Beatles entire vibe was like like, uh, it almost like don't care about things except for your own emotions, like like very self centered think. 00:27:08 Speaker 3: About they don't. They don't really have like you think back some of their lyrics, they didn't really have anything to say. They didn't and I remember thinking that that that like some of their biggest tracks, I mean like I want to Hold your Hand Okay, that was like the one of the originals, like okay, it's a love song, but like you keep going down. As they got more like eclectic and more experimental, I don't really know what the message was. Does there need to be a message? But I think they're like in the cultural context of the time, Yeah, it kind of makes sense that they were leading everybody nowhere. 00:27:40 Speaker 6: So you're saying we should have banned the Beatles from America. 00:27:45 Speaker 2: I don't know, I just I don't think that art needs to have a message like that. I think it's it's just can just stand on its own. 00:27:51 Speaker 3: I think maybe maybe, I mean, I don't think that strong of thoughts about any of this stuff, to be honest, but I mean, listen, I think they're very talent. I think to who said it, who's point there will never be another Beatles that has that sort of like cultural dominance, and you know, Beatlemania and all of this stuff, and just the the song, the songs that they have, there's so many huge hits like I just don't think we'll ever see anything like it again. I just I don't know. It just does I kind of resonate with Tyler saying on some level because it was as was a time when kids were turning their backs on traditional values and going to nowhere. 00:28:29 Speaker 4: It was a road to nowhere, and the reading Lord of the Rings. 00:28:31 Speaker 2: Lord of the Rings was their favorite novel. 00:28:33 Speaker 5: I think most importantly was that any yes it is. 00:28:37 Speaker 3: Go look it up. 00:28:37 Speaker 2: The hippies loved Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings was they viewed the Hobbits as like the Potsmokers. They viewed the Hobbits as like the Shire was like a commune that was like communistic. They viewed the Mortar was like the military industrial complex and corporate society, and they had to fight against that. And it was always seen up until the movies came out as a vehicle of the left. It was totally embraced by the hippie counterculture movement. 00:29:04 Speaker 6: Yeah, but that they made the movie and it was awesome. So now it's straight and right wing and awesome. Zuzu's Pedals donated one dollar and says sadly the Beatles became dirty hippies. That's true. Also, Zuzu Pedal earlier she said she would she should, uh, we would ban Adele from the US. 00:29:20 Speaker 3: That is what she said. 00:29:21 Speaker 8: I think I think that the I'm pointing out everyone here that if we're going to talk about the Beatles of the impact on culture, we should talk about Lord of the Rings impact on the. 00:29:31 Speaker 3: Sixth hold on, hold on, can you name me Jack the drummer before. 00:29:38 Speaker 2: Peep besting Ringo? Who Pete Best? 00:29:42 Speaker 3: Yeah? Did you know that? No? 00:29:44 Speaker 5: Ringo Ringo ended up being there. There was also Stu Sutcliffe huh wow, I didn't know you were such a fan. 00:29:52 Speaker 3: Yeah. Did you know that the Beatles like performed all over Europe for like years just being a kind of a journey in Yeah. 00:30:00 Speaker 5: And played in Hamburg lunch. 00:30:02 Speaker 6: And that's how I got good. That's how they got played every night and every night for hours at least. 00:30:07 Speaker 2: That's there's actually a couple of versions of like I want to hold your hand in German, come give me that guy there, come give me guying there hand that you can actually get with the Beatles singing. 00:30:21 Speaker 3: About the Beatles? Did you engineer this topic just so we could talk about the Beatles? 00:30:26 Speaker 6: What is it? 00:30:26 Speaker 3: What was the one? 00:30:29 Speaker 2: She loves you? 00:30:30 Speaker 4: Is like she leaped Dick or something like she leaped dick? 00:30:32 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay. 00:30:36 Speaker 3: We're gonna as a clip to I she leaped all right, well hold on, just to put a final like you know, I guess point. 00:30:49 Speaker 2: To see yeh see leaped Yeah. 00:30:52 Speaker 6: I was related topic off of this. We should do that next, which is the bigger picture thing. 00:30:57 Speaker 5: We got it, we got it. 00:30:58 Speaker 6: The big picture idea is does the music you like show your IQ? And the answer is the science is settled. One hundred and fifty percent. Yes, your favorite band reveals how smart. 00:31:12 Speaker 3: You are really? 00:31:13 Speaker 6: Yes? So what if your let's throw up throw up number twelve? This is the chart that was made. It's no one's going to be able to read it, I suppose, but it's someone like did a big I think they compared what your SAT score, your SAT score average B versus the band you list as your favorite. 00:31:32 Speaker 5: Where the Beatles at? 00:31:33 Speaker 6: Let's go check this one. It's I don't think by here you can see some of the dumb ones. 00:31:38 Speaker 5: Wait, so you the most the most famous, most impactful band in the history. 00:31:47 Speaker 3: The Beatles are on that, right they have? 00:31:49 Speaker 6: Yeah, the Beatles. The Beatles are definitely on here. I just say there's a lot of bands on this list. The highest IQ, the highest SAT score by a mile, actually is Beethoven some other bands that some other bands that finished high is Counting Crows. 00:32:03 Speaker 5: I don't even know who that is. You don't know who the count I mean, I've heard of them. 00:32:08 Speaker 3: Here. 00:32:10 Speaker 6: The dumbest, the dumbest straight oh gosh, the dumbest artist is Lil Wayne something ray big hit. 00:32:21 Speaker 5: Their biggest hit was ah what is that the miss the girl from there? 00:32:36 Speaker 3: Yeah, the Beatles. 00:32:39 Speaker 6: The Beatles are probably about sixteen the Beatles. 00:32:42 Speaker 5: The Beatles look like. 00:32:43 Speaker 6: They're about like seventy fifth eightieth percentile. They're an S A T yeah, eleven forty. 00:32:48 Speaker 5: But round here by The Counting Crows is one of the best songs I ever read. 00:32:52 Speaker 3: Wait, why is you too so high? 00:32:55 Speaker 6: Because British, if you're listening to them. 00:32:58 Speaker 3: You're you apparently have more refined tastes. I don't know you are, I don't know. Yeah, why Where's my problem? Is that? Like, when I looked at this list, I was like, my my, most of my bands that I probably listen to or not on. 00:33:13 Speaker 6: The keep the keep the b roll scrolling so the listeners can see it and identify where their bands are on there. Argue Memnon, which is an amazing user name, I must say. Argue Memnon that's awesome, says that Counting Crows equals complaining rock. 00:33:28 Speaker 3: It is complaining, right. 00:33:29 Speaker 6: That's great. 00:33:30 Speaker 5: That's Jones and me. 00:33:31 Speaker 3: It was great. The December is definitely more of. 00:33:34 Speaker 5: A Counting Crows and that nineties vibe, that like that early nineties that that was the the mother of all music. 00:33:43 Speaker 3: Yeah, the bands just so you're looking at the screen. The bands on the left are dumb and the bands on the right. 00:33:48 Speaker 6: So if you're if you're a taking back fan, when you're kind of done here. 00:33:51 Speaker 3: I look switch Foot. I do not agree that if you like switch Foot you're as dumb as a Maroon five fan. 00:33:57 Speaker 5: Well, deal with it. 00:33:59 Speaker 3: This is sign yellow car. 00:34:00 Speaker 6: So anyway, either we actually had all of us, We had all of us look at this list and submit their top five so we can finally determine. 00:34:09 Speaker 3: This is much clearer than the thing I was looking at. I couldn't even read half the. 00:34:13 Speaker 2: Why is Aerosmith so low? That's weird? 00:34:16 Speaker 3: Well it's not low. I think it's just like it matters on the left to right axis. The y axis here. 00:34:21 Speaker 4: Does not mean what I'm saying, like, why is it so left? 00:34:24 Speaker 3: Look at the left? 00:34:26 Speaker 6: Super Beyonce is for dumbs. It's confirmed. But anyway, we did have everyone sign off their list, so let's let's go through it. 00:34:31 Speaker 5: How about we do Let's do Tyler first. 00:34:33 Speaker 6: Because he was last getting in and you know what they say, the last Shelby first. So we've got Tyler's list? What what are his top five? 00:34:42 Speaker 3: Let me see something corporate Jimmy eat World, system of a down. 00:34:46 Speaker 5: That's not that's not mine. It's not No, that that wasn't Those are the ones. I didn't have the ones. It was something corporate Jimmy World, Yellow Card, counting crows and and I can't remember. 00:35:01 Speaker 6: We have an inaccurate Tyler top five. That's not going to cut it. 00:35:04 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was all right, Onto the next one. 00:35:08 Speaker 6: All right, let's let's go to Jack's What what's Jack's top five? We have radio Head the Beatles. Okay, so he loves this hippie pagan band. Let it be noted, it's an overtly pagan. Overtly pagan band. David Bowie. We've seen Labyrinth. That's a pagan movie. 00:35:25 Speaker 3: Uh, David Bowie, I'm into these. We have Nirvana. I like your. 00:35:31 Speaker 6: Nirvana. 00:35:32 Speaker 4: Is this is my list out of like what's on here? 00:35:35 Speaker 2: Because I'm a huge I'm a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan, and I don't see the pump I didn't see the Pumpkins anywhere on there, So that would be so. 00:35:42 Speaker 3: Far to the left, Jack that you must have missed it. 00:35:45 Speaker 2: No, Actually they were so far to the right, right there off there, just beyond they just blew the bell Curve. 00:35:51 Speaker 3: Yeah, I okay, So I like Radiohead, I I like some of the Beatles song I'm not like a Beatles like fanatic. David Bowie. I like his movies better than his music. Nirvana liked them, Metallica like the bow He's phenomenal. 00:36:06 Speaker 2: I got to see him. 00:36:07 Speaker 3: The thing is, I just I never really as I never really have absorbed David Bowie. But maybe I'll have to go back. 00:36:12 Speaker 6: And I'm not sure I've heard it. 00:36:16 Speaker 3: I've heard, I've heard, I've heard David. 00:36:18 Speaker 6: All right, do we have do we have an Andrew? 00:36:20 Speaker 5: Andrew? 00:36:20 Speaker 6: Make one Andrew, We've got Bob Dylan. Do you just love band like singers who are out of key? 00:36:27 Speaker 3: I am not? Does it feel so here? I like Bob Dylan for a lot of reasons. Actually, the guy who married me is a guy named Don Williams. Me and my wife guy married you. Sorry that did come out wrong. The pastor who married my wife and I wrote a book about Bob Dylan and his Christian faith, and so that sent me down a whole rabbit trail where I started listening to Bob Dylan song. So I became a really big Bob Dylan song just lyrically obviously his voice was you know, trouble in it was not was not perfect by the way. And then uh, I ended up dating a girl in uh when I was uh, I don't know, like twenty five, I think, and and her family house was right next to where Bob Dylan's house was in Point Doom in uh uh in Malibu. And so I it's very anyway, I just got into Bob del It's a long story. Pearl Jam loved them. He loves Seattle. 00:37:25 Speaker 6: You love so you know Bob Dylancy like singers who are I went. 00:37:29 Speaker 3: I went to university like the most left Jimmy World and then George Straight because I was like, give me some country in there. Because I listened to country and uh, I know which I everything on on the list Country was low IQ. So all right, if you've been listening for a while, you may have noticed something new.

Please. 00:38:57 Speaker 6: Well, I guess I can't escape from having my list, although is definitely the toughest. I was the one who like bit the bullet and just circled like the genre ones, which is yeah, like classic rock, saw a queen. 00:39:08 Speaker 2: Wait a minute, I don't think I actually saw a queen on the list. 00:39:12 Speaker 6: Your musical choices are so are so dumb you can't read no, not so. I listened to an absolute crapload of synth wave music. 00:39:20 Speaker 3: Literally, that's all. 00:39:21 Speaker 6: That fantasy, like fake eighties music that they made. 00:39:27 Speaker 3: Classic rock. 00:39:28 Speaker 6: But I did just circle classic rock and then I have Metallica there. I mean, overall, my choices are dumb, but luckily day I didn't really like a lot of I really don't listen to a lot of these bands, which is why it's a good thing, because I came out with you know, frankly, let's just say the lowest ii Q average on I like pretty dumb music, which is but hold on, hold on. The thing is is they did just do an updated version of the study today that added one band. Throw it up. We have the number one actual list, and come on, throw it up, throw it up. You don't have it. I sent it to you guys. You guys are killing me. Well, I'm gonna have to hold you guys in suspense and filibuster until they have it ready to go. 00:40:12 Speaker 5: The lowest IQ of all they are. 00:40:14 Speaker 6: But there's a new number one IQ spot. 00:40:17 Speaker 5: Isn't that weird though, that you are you are kind of viewed as the smartest person here and you have the lowest IQ. 00:40:24 Speaker 6: Uh, listen, I actually do genuinely kind of like slightly dumb music. 00:40:28 Speaker 3: I must say you like you like Beyonce. 00:40:31 Speaker 5: Like you probably do have the highest IQ of all of us. That's probably like. 00:40:35 Speaker 6: Okay, finally, all right, they got it. So breaking new science came in and actually the highest IQ band by a long shot is Megadeth featuring Dave Mustaine. We have songs like pace Cells, but who's buying We have rust in? 00:40:53 Speaker 3: Yeah? 00:40:53 Speaker 6: Do uh do like Symphony of Destruction or of Tornado of Souls or something? Those are those are both good ones? 00:40:59 Speaker 3: Say this is shocking stuff. 00:41:03 Speaker 6: Yeah, so that's like by far all the way to the right. It's to the right of Beethoven. Even the highest IQ band by a mile is Holy Rash metal pioneers who did meth. 00:41:18 Speaker 3: Okaying air guitar. 00:41:21 Speaker 6: Well, it's like there was a classic article in The Onion which pointed out humanity, humanity still producing new art, as though Megadeth's rust and Piece doesn't already exist, Like really, we could have stopped music, Like you guys are liking all these nineties bins oh, I love radio Head, I love Pearl Jem. Here's what happened. In nineteen ninety, Megadeth released Rust and Peace. It had Rust and Piece, Polaris, Holy Wars, The Punishment, Do Hangar eighteen, Tornado of Stoles, it had all of those on one album. This feels we really didn't need any more music after that. 00:41:53 Speaker 2: But Andrew Fair, did you know that? You know that the so Dave Mustain was from Megadeth was original guitarist of Metallica. 00:42:02 Speaker 3: I didn't know that. Yes, that's cool. 00:42:04 Speaker 2: So it is specifically if you listen to the their first album, Kill Them All, A lot of those like songs, the rips, the solos, even though it's Kirk Haamt I believe who actually plays on the album, A lot of that was written by Dave Missdain. 00:42:21 Speaker 3: So like the early. 00:42:22 Speaker 2: Metallica stuff and Mega Deth like kind of have the same origin basically. But he was fired by Metallica why because he was kind of crazy drinking a lot of drinking. 00:42:33 Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess, I guess. 00:42:34 Speaker 3: Why do bands break apart when Yoko Ono? I bet you know all the Yoko Ono lore. 00:42:40 Speaker 6: Let's see what we've got to do. 00:42:42 Speaker 2: But you know, I think a lot of it's highly exaggerated. Honestly, I really do. 00:42:48 Speaker 3: I think they were just burned out. Man, they went hard for like what was it? What was there? What was the Beatles years. 00:42:55 Speaker 2: Year nineteen sixty to nineteen seventy? 00:42:57 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like, that's a heck of a decks. 00:42:59 Speaker 6: Why the seventy x y guy is responding Beethoven back handle put all of these lists to shame, that's true, And then he says, no, dummy, But if he was a proper Rush fan, x Y guy should be named hyyse guy. 00:43:14 Speaker 3: So you change? 00:43:16 Speaker 5: Did we have the update in my list? I want to see my numbers were compared. 00:43:19 Speaker 3: To your average is probably somewhere around ten. 00:43:23 Speaker 5: Counting Crows brings me brings me up high because Counting Crows is twelve fourteen. 00:43:28 Speaker 6: Rush rock something. So I've never blinking card really pulled me down. I have never heard of something corporate in my life. Is this is something? 00:43:35 Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, something Corporate's incredible. 00:43:38 Speaker 2: I've heard the name that I couldn't tell you anything they do. 00:43:41 Speaker 5: Now you know you probably know there that that song. Oh, I'm thinking Jack's Mannequin because it turned into Jack's Mannequin. 00:43:50 Speaker 6: I've never heard of Jackson Mannequin either. 00:43:52 Speaker 5: It was something corporate. Chances are, if. 00:43:54 Speaker 6: I've heard any of these bands, I'll only have heard them because they were on a Tony Hawk's pro Skater soundtrack. Were any of these guys in any hawks presktter sound. 00:44:01 Speaker 5: I don't know if any of these were. 00:44:02 Speaker 2: I know someone who was Yellow Card my Primus. Jerry was a race car driver. 00:44:08 Speaker 3: Well done. I don't know. 00:44:10 Speaker 5: This is all like punk. This is all punk emo, postal services. 00:44:14 Speaker 4: Where where's Primus? How come Primus isn't on the list? 00:44:17 Speaker 2: Primus sucks? 00:44:18 Speaker 5: And it really Princess I picked yeah punk rock? Oh jeez, oh oh oh lasty a punk rock prin Wait a minute, Wait a minute, garage band king. 00:44:30 Speaker 3: I'm getting hit by ads. I'm just trying, just. 00:44:33 Speaker 6: Getting wrecked by ads. 00:44:35 Speaker 2: Wait a minute. 00:44:37 Speaker 5: Oh, I woke up in a car. I woke up in a car. I woke up in a car. 00:44:43 Speaker 3: I don't recognize it, all right, you don't. 00:44:46 Speaker 5: You don't recognize that. It's like California. It's like California rock. I didn't grow something corporate. 00:44:51 Speaker 6: Yeah, I didn't grow up in California either. More to the point I have avoided California my entire life. 00:44:56 Speaker 5: Yeah, god, this is something corporate, Yeah something, this is great, This is great music. 00:45:02 Speaker 6: But all of these jazz literally all of these bands sound the same. 00:45:06 Speaker 5: It's like I'm. 00:45:07 Speaker 6: Gonna play on the soul. 00:45:10 Speaker 5: It is actually actually something corporate. Was is actually what my wife and I danced to are as our songs. 00:45:20 Speaker 3: Guitar right now, this is the first. 00:45:22 Speaker 2: It's actually my fretless acoustic bass. 00:45:24 Speaker 3: Fretless acoustic bass. 00:45:26 Speaker 2: Fretless kind of like attune though, is that like a guitar hero controller? 00:45:36 Speaker 5: So I have a theory about all these all these IQs. I actually think it's more based off of that the time tape. So the more popular someone was in a certain era probably made you more smart. Go on, So some of that nineties, so some of that nineties music like Pearl Jam was pretty out there, wasn't it. 00:46:00 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would, I would. I would say it's the opposite. I think that's a lagging indicator. I think that a smarter population like smarter music. So the popularity getting of dumb music getting better means you have more dumb people. 00:46:16 Speaker 5: I think you could be a combination of both. So you have eras of smarter people. Like people were really stupid in the sixties. 00:46:22 Speaker 3: I will say like people were stupid, but actually the population was still like closer to it to the traditional values, the things that made America great. They had like remnant smarts. So if you listen to the lyrics of like classic rock or it, you know rock in the sixties, I mean it was elevated more so, it was. 00:46:45 Speaker 6: More musically complex. Do you know about that? They had more key changes, more uh time signature change. There's more musical variety, there's more dynamic range, like you'll have music that's quiet and then loud, it'll have a white range. For some reason, they compress all their music. Music is very refined and simplified. It's almost like it's actually kind of like what they do with drugs or fast food. They figure out how to make it more addictive and catchy. Yet as a result, it's extremely simplified and you don't get truly transcendental about now. 00:47:17 Speaker 3: Yes, now yeah, yeah, Well it's because it's it's the wal martification. Yeah, of it's the big boxification of American music. 00:47:25 Speaker 6: And it's gonna be even worse because now we can write catchy pop beats with AI, and there's already hit AI music on Spotify and all of that. But I think eventually we're just gonna it's just gonna be a matter of course that the pop star is just maybe going to be a brand, and you'll have a lot of AI generated fluff for the songs on their albums because who cares, Like I bet, I bet there's tons of AI going into K pop music right now. 00:47:48 Speaker 3: But if you like Caboose play to Blake's point, play the Chain by Fleetwood Mac nineteen seventy seven, there's the dynamic range that you're talking about all over the place. I think there's I do think there is like sort of uh timing changes in it as well, like that if you compare The Chain by Fleetwood Mac nineteen thirty seven. 00:48:12 Speaker 6: Yeah, but but I mean, we're not gonna so it's such a good song. It is a good song song. 00:48:20 Speaker 3: But like, okay, so, but like and then you go to you had that quick by the way, kaboo, he's very good, okay, so, but then then there's a different parts of the song, is what I'm saying. It's the complexity of that song will be anything modern music. 00:48:42 Speaker 5: Well, that's like, that's like Bob Dylan. Maybe that's what I picked. Yeah, that's like I mean, but that that actually that actually supports the Bob Dylan theory. 00:48:50 Speaker 3: On the I think Bob Dylan's like really smart music. You know. What I would say is it's poetry. 00:48:56 Speaker 6: What I would say is interesting if you think of the older you think of the standard song, so many songs are basically verse chorus, verse, chorus, bridge and then like the chorus again or something. When you think of the songs that are most likely to top a list of the absolute best songs in rock history or musical history, have you ever noticed almost none of them seem to actually follow that format. So I remember going up, well, so, yeah, exactly. The Union Rhapsody doesn't follow that I was just gonna stop believing doesn't follow that, Stairway to Heaven doesn't follow that. All three of those are irregular progressive songs, progressive in terms of they just changed throughout. 00:49:35 Speaker 2: I find that you can't just say that like just because something breaks the mold like means it's going to be good or it's going to be popular, because like go look at like Tool for example, like nothing nothing the tool puts out you know, fits that and has tons of time changes Danny Carey, you know on drums, like it's known for time changes. But you know that's not like quote unquote super popular. 00:49:58 Speaker 5: But Blake's points actually really good one because and I've never really thought about it this, some of my favorite songs of my favorite artists are non traditional. I haven't thought about this, like Jimmy World. One of my favorite songs ever is good Bye Sky Harbor, and it followed it's that same same thing, something like. 00:50:20 Speaker 6: Rose Songs November Ras has an irregular structure and Sweet Child the Mind has an irregular structure. 00:50:25 Speaker 5: Now my favorite so I'm thinking about American Pie is still verse chorus. It's just really long. Some of my favorite some of my favorite songs ever have been totally. 00:50:32 Speaker 3: Around I mean the fact that it's really long though breaks sort of like so speaking of like, I. 00:50:38 Speaker 5: Think it lends to longer songs. Do you follow that? Like, so the irregularity creates longer songs because they have different. 00:50:45 Speaker 6: Yeah, we've got a good flow to this. So to get into our third topic, So you mentioned was something corporate your dance song at your wedding or what was your first dance song and was so that was that? 00:50:55 Speaker 5: What was your first dance song? The corporate hurricane m give me in trouble you don't oh, no, no. 00:51:04 Speaker 3: No, like. I think it was something like really So we had a great musical like wedding. I mean, we had great music, we had a live band and all this stuff. But I think our first dance song was like pretty sappy and that's fine. 00:51:17 Speaker 6: Jason Maras, how about how about you Jack first dance? 00:51:20 Speaker 5: You didn't pick it, so we did too. 00:51:24 Speaker 4: We did like a slow song and a fast song. 00:51:28 Speaker 2: So we did uh and uh. The slow song was Oh My Love by John Lennon. Uh, and then the fast song was wait, what's that actually called? Like wake Me Up by wham Oh. 00:51:39 Speaker 6: That's a great one, jud Bug I love that song. 00:51:43 Speaker 2: That's what it's. It's called wake me up, right, wake me up before you. 00:51:47 Speaker 6: I don't, of course have one. I do know my parents. My parents was may I have this stance for the rest of my life? By whoever did that song. 00:51:55 Speaker 3: So, now that you're talking about weddings, we asked that we're. 00:52:00 Speaker 6: Going to the dirty underbelly of this, which is story in the New York Times where The New York Times loves to write about trends that are Oh wait, actually it was People mag Never mind, I just like to be up with the New York Times anyway. So what it is is there is a new trend that they're profiling because they want it to happen, just like polyamory. And it's women throwing wedding parties for themselves when they turn forty when they are not actually getting married. So it's a fake wedding level blowout for turning forty. And this trend is, if not sweeping America, it's at least sweeping the pages of People magazine and sweeping your timeline on X to propagandize. 00:52:39 Speaker 3: To prove you don't need a partner to celebrate yourself. 00:52:43 Speaker 2: Man, what you know. 00:52:45 Speaker 5: So you're they're throwing like like fortieth birthday parties that are that are made to look like weddings. 00:52:51 Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying? 00:52:53 Speaker 3: A faked women devoted themselves to like corporate ladder climbing, and so they may not have a partner, but they probably have enough money to throw a very extravagant, expensive party. 00:53:05 Speaker 5: I can't even picture this. Can I see a video? There? 00:53:09 Speaker 6: Do we have every day, we have video. 00:53:15 Speaker 3: Can I please see this spiritual soul rot on display? 00:53:20 Speaker 6: You have a lot, but I think, you know, let's people. 00:53:23 Speaker 2: People get on me for saying that we need you know, I've never actually said that we. 00:53:27 Speaker 4: Need a new Franco. But man, you see stuff like this and. 00:53:31 Speaker 3: It's like overtly pagan legit. 00:53:33 Speaker 6: Yeah all right, so we're told to start. We have seven clips. Let's start pagan to let Tyler understand this. Let's play clip five. 00:53:39 Speaker 5: I can't even picture this. 00:53:41 Speaker 9: This weekend, I'm throwing myself a wedding birthday. It's my own wedding son's husband had a manner in the British countryside for my fortieth You know, I never had a wedding, so I was like, how do I celebrate the biggest way possible? And here's the itinerary. Black PI first night, everyone's wearing black, and then I will be in. 00:54:07 Speaker 2: A white gown. 00:54:09 Speaker 9: People escape, very salturn, moody red lights. I think dripping candles, figs, grapes. That will party in the living room like an aristocrat. Next morning as Princess Diana themed British country side shooting day. Don't worry we're just using Clay very Ralph Lauren. Plus it just rains all the time here. So finally the Birthday night Studio fifty four vibe glitter sequence just over the top everything jeans. 00:54:37 Speaker 5: I really wait, why did it end with like a gay dance. 00:54:40 Speaker 6: Party at the end for all of her gay friends, who I guess wouldn't happened in a normal way. I really genuinely don't know what to make of that, Like, if you got invited to a party like that, do you go? 00:54:55 Speaker 3: No? 00:54:56 Speaker 2: No, I mean listen, I mean it just shows for rack culturally, it just oh, the you know, the lack of I mean this, I think we all know what Charlie would say about this, you know, I mean it just it just. 00:55:07 Speaker 4: Shows where we're at as a society. 00:55:09 Speaker 2: And you you would wish and that people have this fulfillment that is being unmet, this this desire that's being unmet because of their own choices, because they eschewed family and marriage and child rearing, and yet they still want those feelings, and so they've created for themselves this false reality of It's like the participation trophy, right, Like you didn't actually achieve or commit to a wedding, which is supposed to be, you know, a union between two individuals in the sight of man and in the sight of God and instead obviously yes, but you know, two souls is what I'm trying to say. And the idea here is that it's like there's no unity, there's no union at the part of this other than like you and yourself, right, Like that's what this is. You know, there's no like, there isn't even a boyfriend. There isn't even a stand in for a husband here, there's no sign of God at all. It's all just a celebration of the self. 00:56:13 Speaker 3: Well that headline from People magazine where it says you don't need a partner to celebrate yourself. 00:56:18 Speaker 6: Yeah, and it turns out there wasn't New York Times when we had bodies that New York Times one is a wedding party, no husband required. 00:56:24 Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a So is it just this gal or is this a trend like that? 00:56:28 Speaker 2: It's like that that movie what's that The Housemaid right where it's just it's anti marriage, it's anti husband. It's it's all this like hyper feminist gobly you know, Gaga, that's just everywhere today and you know, it's like, you don't need a man. You could like I said that, you know, going back, where do we hear that you don't need a man? Frozen? It was a Disney movie. 00:56:53 Speaker 6: It was a lesbian Frozen again. 00:56:56 Speaker 2: Lesbian propaganda. Here we go, Here we go, oh again. 00:57:03 Speaker 3: We've been really fortunate to work with a lot of great partners over the years at the Charlie Kirk Show, but some relationships are just different.

These are great people and we're so glad to be working with them again. All I know is that there's something about this that I find a little bit like disrespectful. It's almost sacrilegious because the wedding in white, as you mentioned, Jack, it's like it's something you do have to achieve, but just basically saying to the world, I don't have to achieve this to still wear white and be the center of attention and everybody's there for me. It's really narcissistic, but it's and it's self serving, but it's also just disrespectful to the institution of marriage. 00:58:49 Speaker 5: If everyone gets a trophy type stuff, well, it's. 00:58:51 Speaker 3: Sort of like it's just anti traditions. 00:58:55 Speaker 5: It's like we feel so bad for you or for ourselves that we're going to give ourselves the things that we feel like. And again it feels very similar to also like the Disney adult thing, where it's like people like living. 00:59:11 Speaker 2: Out, Yeah it does, that's exactly right. 00:59:13 Speaker 5: People like I don't know why that like like this like triggered that for me. 00:59:16 Speaker 6: But it's like people, no, yeah, that's one hundred percent. 00:59:18 Speaker 2: It's the same way of length. 00:59:19 Speaker 5: Like the exact same way. They didn't get to do it when they were kids or whatever, and so like now they're fulfilling out this like fantasy of like being. 00:59:28 Speaker 2: Kid because what is that, right, that's that's the you know, millennials with disposable income who haven't achieved those life wickets, those life benchmarks and milestones that you're supposed to hit by certain ages. So by that age, you you typically do have like children, and you are then starting to want to bring your kids to uh to you know, do family stuff, and yet you don't have that. So it's this infantilization, which of course Charlie also talked about the extended adolescence where where people don't leave it. And so it's like we're going to infantilize ourselves and act like we're children and go to Disney buy ourselves So. 01:00:09 Speaker 5: The fortieth birthday party is very similar, where it's like you're doing something and it's this fantasy of something that you should have probably done at an earlier time period in your life. 01:00:20 Speaker 6: But we've got, we've got, and you're. 01:00:21 Speaker 5: Still omitting just like Disney, like you don't have the kids with you, you're doing it. It makes you feel good, stroking something in your ego. I haven't seen this clip, but I can tell it's going. 01:00:31 Speaker 2: To be great and it's a broken generation. 01:00:34 Speaker 5: Let's do number eight. 01:00:36 Speaker 10: Okay, I'm about to walk down the aisle, and this moment is for every little girl in every twenty something and every thirty something that waited their whole lives to get married and maybe it didn't work out and they still wanted to have this moment. So it's my fortieth birthday tonight, and I decided to throw a wedding birthday in the British countryside inner. It's this huge estate, it's straight out of downtown Happy and I had this moment where I thought, I am the first woman in three hundred years that has rented this house for herself and celebrated herself. 01:01:15 Speaker 6: Yeah, I know I'm gonna object in general, one, probably not two. 01:01:18 Speaker 5: You just shouldn't do a. 01:01:20 Speaker 6: Party to celebrate yourself in general, I think it's self indulgent. I would say, even if, even if she was married and everything, I think it would be incredibly self indulgent to just throw a party for yourself turning forty or fifty. I think ideally you'd have a spouse and they would organize it and throw it for you, or it could be your friends would do it. There's ways to do it, but in general, you should not throw parties that are just I am awesome. 01:01:45 Speaker 3: I just like I miss like an ethic, a value system in which people just get old and they don't make it about themselves, like old people acting old. Yeah, like just just do with something more convinced. And it's so refreshing now when you just see like old people becoming adults and then they like think. 01:02:05 Speaker 6: About the image we have of grannies, you know, loving grammys and you know still live on a farm. They're making about this, Think about how that's all going to vanish when your seventy five year old grandma has tattoos and like and like social media posts that are still out there of her being a bad girl. 01:02:20 Speaker 5: At twenty two. 01:02:21 Speaker 3: I was thinking about this the other day. So when I was a kid, when we were all kids, think about your grandma, they had like bobbed hair, like some of them died them, some of it was just gray. And like those women that are now that age now they've got like long hair, it's dyed, they've got work done. They're like trying to look as young as possible. Our granny, our grannies like literally just look like old old ladies. 01:02:44 Speaker 5: That's That's like the Golden Girls thing is like they were like in their forties and they look like literally like. 01:02:50 Speaker 3: Is that I don't really like? 01:02:51 Speaker 5: And I am noticing Golden Girls are like literally in their late forties and some of those those those ladies, and they're like we thought they were, Like is that true? 01:03:01 Speaker 3: Okay? So okay, the characters were in their fifties and eighties. Blanche was roughly fifty, Dorothy and Rose were fifty five, and Sofia was seventy nine. 01:03:10 Speaker 5: Wow. 01:03:10 Speaker 3: Which one was Sophia? Oh, with Sophia the like really really old one. 01:03:14 Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I was like the mom was that Like you know what I was thinking about with this whole thing is like how how offensive. It also is to the women who don't do this right, like they have enough self respect. 01:03:25 Speaker 2: That's like, speaking of Golden Girls, we have to we have to say the great connection that so you know who? Do you know who? The son of the creator of the Golden Girls is? Skoy Adams Close Actually like Sam Harris. 01:03:43 Speaker 5: Oh really okay? Interesting? 01:03:45 Speaker 3: Wait so wait. 01:03:47 Speaker 5: I want to fish. I want to finish my thought on this though. The women who who look at this and it actually I think this is part of the mental illness that makes women feel bad on social media. So you have one one and throwing herself a birthday party that is meant to replicate a wedding. There's plenty of women out there that are unmarried for maybe it's not their own choice, maybe they just I mean, I know lots of good people couldn't find the right guy whatever. I feel really bad for them. But that person seeing another person do something like this, I feel like makes it worse for all those people I don't like. To me, it's like and this is like, this is the same thing with the social media generation. This is like the Disney adult thing. This is about like people who do the you know, perfect perfection vacation thing that they put on social media even though you know that's probably not true, or the perfect house thing or whatever. 01:04:44 Speaker 2: Like do you remember do you remember Hanksgiving? Remember we did that a while back, was the Hanksgiving that they all had together. It was like Thanksgivings, the same same thing. 01:04:56 Speaker 5: But it's just like it just like to me, it's just like I don't think it helps societ in general, like doing these things. And again it's a free country, like do whatever you want. But like, like there's a bunch of women who follow this woman. She's probably got friends, she probably has a social media following. That's probably the reason why she's doing this. 01:05:12 Speaker 3: You know that it's like this whole like it's this whole trends you see it with like shout your abortion right, where there's actually shame over something and they're trying to reclaim something that makes them feel shameful to like be like I'm just going to buck the trend and screw the tradition and I'm gonna I'm gonna be loud and proud even in my shame. 01:05:29 Speaker 5: It's a perfect transition. 01:05:30 Speaker 6: Does what if one of them does a like wedding level eighty thousand dollars party for their abortion. 01:05:37 Speaker 3: That's pretty sick, that'd be I bet it's happened, actually, because because they you got to understand, like the human condition we have, we sin, and therefore we have shame. And if you don't, if you're not a Christian, there's no there's no mechanism to get rid of that shame. And so you try and invent human celebrations or institutions to remove that shame from yourself. So that's all this is. Actually, it was interesting. I was having this back and forth Jack. You know Lisa Booth, right, she's yeah Fox New, so she was kind of she went on this whole thing about saying that the problem with the right is that we make marriage and family feel like obligatory. So if you are not that, you feel ashamed, you feel like you're out of the club. And if on the left, they demonize marriage and abortions, so they don't. Her point was that there's a bunch of women that don't feel like they belong to either camp when it comes to this issue. And then but like, I think that there's a lot of people that have kids that feel like by the liberal progressive society, they have to feel ashamed or they have to hide their joy, or hide their kids, or hide all the good things about their family because there's so many women in culture that aren't experiencing this, and so it's just I don't know what the answer is exactly, but to me, it's like, if we don't lift up the ideal, you're gonna have a bunch of people like this forty year old crazy lady that goes flies over and spends one hundred thousand dollars on a fake wedding for herself. 01:07:00 Speaker 2: Because I know that's exactly right. And it's like, again, I mean this, I'll like defer to to the man himself. But Ck used to talk about this a lot. He said, it's it's not about like forcing anyone to make any one decision or another. It's just talking about what is the greater societal good. And we see through study after study that marriage, two parent households that with the mom and a dad are always the best outcomes for society. And so if our government or our political movements are going to push for certain things, we should always push for the things that we know are the most beneficial, pro social things. And that is a general goal that that person has to fit. 01:07:47 Speaker 3: I have a Catholic question for you on that kind of same thought. Does the Catholic Church have a strong position on surrogacy? 01:07:54 Speaker 5: Like they don't like it? 01:07:56 Speaker 2: I mean, I can't imagine they're for it. I would have to check. 01:08:00 Speaker 6: Okay, Calolics don't even like don't they don't like IVF either? 01:08:02 Speaker 3: Did they have a position? 01:08:03 Speaker 2: Yeah, against IVF to begin with, So they. 01:08:06 Speaker 3: Would so they would have they would have a strong position on like a gay couple adopting. 01:08:10 Speaker 6: A kid togainst because they're against they're against every life. 01:08:14 Speaker 2: Yeah, just double check it. I didn't want to like speak out a turn, but yes, the Catholic chure strictly opposes all forms of surrogacy, doing it as a grave violation of human dignity, the integrity of marriage and appropriation process. 01:08:25 Speaker 3: I feel the same. I get really weird at out with surrogacy and I can't like and I it's like one of those things where you're like, it's a child. Yeah, it's weird. There's something weird about like renting a womb. I just find it. It's weird. 01:08:39 Speaker 6: I mean with IVF, the biggest objection is that you basically make ten human lives and right away a bunch of there still dislike it, will still dislike it if you could just make one. And because they don't like the means, what if. 01:08:54 Speaker 3: You were like, hey, we're going to implant ten embryos fertilized embryos, and if you have ten you have to. 01:09:03 Speaker 5: Keep all they still they still what if. 01:09:05 Speaker 3: You commit is a good Catholic to saying I'm going to take all of them, it's less bad. 01:09:08 Speaker 6: Because you're not throwing lives away intentionally, they still don't like it. The Church's position is quite trad where basically you should only have kids by like the proper natural old school. Yes, they're still okay with adoption, but I. 01:09:22 Speaker 5: Think part of that. I think part of the theory with that is that there's so much, isn't it just like the holiness of the system that God, that God gave us, and playing God with these things, it's kind of viewed as play well. 01:09:39 Speaker 2: And it's it's it's also so that's part of it too, But it's also about how how the Church always has always positioned that the procreative act should take place within the confines of marriage, that the point of marriage is procreation and children and that act of the bringing together of the mother and the father marriage and through procreation, and so whenever you're you know, abrogating that process somehow or. 01:10:07 Speaker 4: Or or you know, sidestepping it or whatever. 01:10:11 Speaker 5: So you're telling me, Jack, you could have a fortieth birthday party pretending to get married and then have a kid without ever having sex. 01:10:19 Speaker 3: Wow, that is the liberal way. 01:10:21 Speaker 5: That is the way. There's a lot that is the sex and the city you will own. 01:10:25 Speaker 6: But if we abandon this topic. I'm looking at the New York Times article and there's something very funny I see which they talk to some woman who does consulting for these wedding style fortieth birthday parties. 01:10:35 Speaker 3: So this is a trend. It's not just her. 01:10:37 Speaker 6: Yes, yes, there's a consultant's real thing. And she says the planning process is more streamlined than a wedding, and such events generally cost just ten to thirty percent of a typical wedding budget. So hear me out. Here's an idea. You're planning to get married, but you tell them it's either a fortieth birthday fake wedding or a divorce party. Get all the stuff for wedding related things, but you get it cheaper because you didn't say the W word that doubles the price of everything. And then bamo, switch through. You have a clergyman there and you get married. 01:11:14 Speaker 5: Yeah, bring you bring a guy? 01:11:17 Speaker 3: Do you want to know it's weird? Do you want to create I don't know why this didn't make it to thought. 01:11:20 Speaker 2: What are you accident? Wait? Wait, wait no, I was just gonna say it would be funny, is is what if you were having one of these like fake marriage parties, but you hire the guy right who's But it turns out the guys like actually ordained in the state that you're having the party in, and you accidentally get actually married at like the fake the fake marriage party, and you're like, wait a minute, that terrible night. 01:11:44 Speaker 3: I was gonna say, it sounds like sounds like like Jason Bateman in this like it would get increasingly convoluted, and for like some dumb reason, they are required to also live together for a while. Okay, hold on, I have to take this. It's gonna owe you. 01:11:57 Speaker 5: I have a really a really important point, I'm sure, and I'm sorry to offend all the women there, but no man would ever do this, No. 01:12:06 Speaker 3: Of course not. Oh wait a gay man would. 01:12:09 Speaker 5: Okay, okay, well no, no, straight be a different type of party. 01:12:13 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean speaking of which, but did you know this? 01:12:16 Speaker 5: But this is like but that's also it's like what's feeding the egos of women in America today where they leminism? It's the feminism. It's social media postbube. 01:12:27 Speaker 3: You can have it all even if you don't have it all. If you're a parent, you don't need to be told that online safety is important. That's why TikTok has over fifty pre set safety in privacy settings, and beyond that, parents can set up family pairing to help shape their teens experience on the app. With family pairing, parents can get visibility into their teens followers and who they follow, help restrict content that's not right for them, and set screen time limits. Parents can also set restricted times so they're not on TikTok when they shouldn't be, because feeling good about the time your teen spends online shouldn't come with guess work. In addition to the already built in safety and privacy protections, family pairing gives parents more tools to shape their teens online experience based on what's right for their family.

Hey, so, did you guys know that Minneapolis is thinking about bringing back bathhouses for the first time after a forty nearly forty year band. 01:13:33 Speaker 6: Oh, you really wanted to get into this, No, I mean well. 01:13:36 Speaker 3: It kind of made me think about it when we started talking about gay couples getting doing adoptions. They're okay, So, just to put this, like in perspective, they believe in like unlimited Muslims, unlimited Somali fraud pirate people, bathhouses and bathhouses like Minneapolis, And it's like George Floyd and. 01:13:54 Speaker 6: The Canadian yab they are both. 01:13:57 Speaker 3: They are the most Canadian city in the in the country. 01:14:03 Speaker 6: Adult bath houses had a component of nightlife prior to the advent of the AIDS crisis in the nineteen eighties, which led to the passage of numerous ordinances banning them among virtually all US urban areas. Imagine that. 01:14:18 Speaker 3: Yeah. In nineteen eighty eight, Minneapolis passed an ordinance to ban bathhouses. There were three bathhouses that existed in the city Hennepin Baths, Locker Room Baths, and Big Daddy's bath House. 01:14:29 Speaker 5: Big Daddy's Bath House, all of. 01:14:31 Speaker 3: Them closed Prior to to the bed Locker Room Baths was known as the three point fifteen Health Club at the time of closure. Why were they banned after the first positive HIV tests in Minneapolis and nineteen eighty two, concerned grew about the spread of the virus. 01:14:46 Speaker 5: So wait, so let me get this shape. So bath houses were pretty much the only place you could go because it was so. 01:14:55 Speaker 3: They men just had sexual encounters at the. 01:14:57 Speaker 5: Back in those days, was like it was very taboo like by cultures, cultural standards. Part of the reason why bathhouses existed was because it was so taboo within the community to like just like go like be gay in public. Well, those well I think it's part of it. I mean I think it's I think they also have men, yeah, well like men men. 01:15:22 Speaker 6: And then also they would have those parties and they would have sucks with them five minutes after meeting there. 01:15:26 Speaker 5: It's kind of course, well that's that true, but that that's also like pretty pretty common in the gay community. But like like they just meet and hookup and it's a big hooka culture. But here's my question is because they have so many immigrants coming to Minneapolis, is that the reason why they're reintroducing bathhouses because it's so uh, it's it's so taboo within these immigrant cultures to be gay that they need the bathhouses. 01:15:55 Speaker 3: I don't know. I think it's just they're going so far left and like HIV is not the fear that it once was, right, although you know then it's going to be monkey pocks, So just to just. 01:16:07 Speaker 6: To make sure people get angry, did you know that the a lot of doctors, so do you guys know about antibiotic resistance? Yeah, like we're not supposed to just take antibiotics all the time because resistant to them, and then we're gonna get new superbugs and that's why we have TV that resists it. Did you know that a lot of doctors will just kind of put gay men on antibiotics, just a regular dose of them, like it's you know, taking a daily aspirin, because yeah, because you know they're they're prone to getting a lot of diseases, and you we wouldn't want them to get diseases, so we'll just we'll just chip away at our antibiotic resistance so they can keep going to clubs. Another thing, did you know that the federal government will find like gay, prostitute, drug addicts and stuff who are at high risk of contracting HIV and we'll give them free PREP, which is the AIDS kind of HIV prophilectic keeps it from developing AIDS, which costs many thousands of dollars a year to take. I think a few years ago it was like thirty five thousand dollars a year or so, but it might it's probably less by now. 01:17:05 Speaker 3: Does it make it so you don't contract it? 01:17:08 Speaker 6: I think it makes it harder to contract it, but it also even if you have it, it kind of keeps it. It makes it a manageable chronic condition instead. 01:17:15 Speaker 5: Of a SCE. 01:17:17 Speaker 6: But they will just find people vulnerable to this and the federal government will pay that many thousands of dollars to give it to them for free. 01:17:23 Speaker 3: The federal grim is still doing this, yes, wild it's like that tax dollars at work. It's like that California law where you it's like no longer a crime or something that's downgraded if you knowingly spread HIV. 01:17:39 Speaker 5: There's so many, so many. Uh, there's federally analogies to things that happen the Lord of the rings. 01:17:46 Speaker 6: With that ready set present. Federal it provides pre exposure prophilaxis medication at no cost to individuals without prescription drug covers. 01:17:55 Speaker 3: So these guys are just like manhorses making advantage and they get paid by the federal government. Yes, Jesus, does President Trump know about this? Actually he's like, he's like weirdly pro gay. He's a New York City guy. I love this article I was reading, by the way, says adult bath houses are community spaces historically frequented by gay men where people could also engage in sexual activity or relax after going out to. 01:18:23 Speaker 2: The bars or relax or do you guys ever been to. 01:18:27 Speaker 5: The bros? 01:18:28 Speaker 3: Thank God? I mean I think is there a difference? 01:18:31 Speaker 4: Jack who was in Hungary? Yeah, it's different, I guess like Central Europe. 01:18:40 Speaker 2: So I've been to I've been to a bath house in Budapest. 01:18:43 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's isn't it different in the culture surrounding it is? Is different? Or is it the same? 01:18:48 Speaker 6: It depends some some are gay stuff and some are. 01:18:52 Speaker 2: I mean, this is like when you go to Budapest, like bath houses and you know the yeah, it's like a hot spring thing. So like you go in and it's you know, it's co ed. So like I went with Tanya and it's I don't know, it was kind of like going to like a community pool, but it was in like a you know, it's like a hot springs kind of deal. So like they have that. They have Idaho as well, they have like hot springs. 01:19:16 Speaker 6: You can just go to the coolest one. 01:19:19 Speaker 5: Another phrase in Russian jack that they say for the bath no sloakim bottom. 01:19:25 Speaker 2: Sloat. 01:19:27 Speaker 5: What is it? It's like it basically translates to like have an easy steam or have a nice steam. Okay, there's the people when they're they're slot considered. Yeah, get the coolest thing. 01:19:45 Speaker 6: Since he does mention. In Budapest, they do have a giant bathouse. It's the Session Bathhouses, and it's like looks it's from the eighteen hundred, so it's this big palace, you know, withouture pure and what's cool about it? Especially I went to Budapest in February, so it was cold out but it is a mineral bath and so. 01:20:06 Speaker 4: Is that the one that's like the Outla has. 01:20:08 Speaker 6: A big outdoor pool. And so if it's cold, it's still open. 01:20:11 Speaker 2: It's still you're talking about it's. 01:20:13 Speaker 6: Still one hundred and five degrees or whatever the temperature is of a hot spring, and it's just steaming like crazy the whole time because it's cold out and just spraying it out. 01:20:22 Speaker 3: It's like a resort in the Bahamas or something. 01:20:25 Speaker 5: It's more of like a again that that culture of Eastern Europe is it's it's more of like a public pool. 01:20:30 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is not this doesn't seem. 01:20:32 Speaker 5: It's more like public pools and like and it's almost like, okay, it's almost like a hot spring. 01:20:37 Speaker 3: Hold on, we have to transition. Even though this is a this has been the record, we went to alert. Yes, this has been weird, but we have to try something. This could be awful, so we apologize in advance. But we're going to try something new here because we want to bring you guys into the culture of the office. Actually, and Blake often comes up with random but bizarre obscene would you rather deer? He does? 01:21:05 Speaker 11: It's true what I generated, So would you rather? 01:21:18 Speaker 3: Would you rather? Blake? Give us some would you rather? 01:21:19 Speaker 5: You know? 01:21:20 Speaker 6: I have one of them? Just making up off the fly. Would you rather go to one of those newly opened Minneapolis bathhouses and you don't have to do anything, You can just kind of sit there, but you have to sit there for the whole evening, or go to one of these forty year old single woman weddings. 01:21:37 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go to the forty year old single What if. 01:21:39 Speaker 5: It's really sad? 01:21:40 Speaker 6: What if she's like insanely unwell, and. 01:21:43 Speaker 3: I'm going to the way I like anything to avoid. 01:21:46 Speaker 6: Probably there's probably free food at the wedding, So that is a good. 01:21:49 Speaker 3: That's a good. That's like Blake's a weak spot. It's all right. 01:21:52 Speaker 5: So yeah, that was That was good. That was That was a week one. That was a week one, so we. 01:21:56 Speaker 6: Actually had there's kind of that. There's that classic one people have asked that's like would you rather have a gay son or like a kind of thought daughter? But I thought of a kind of we developed that into a more interesting one. I think, would you rather have a sort of loose daughter or a loser son? Like they're a big time loser, don't have a job, can't. 01:22:19 Speaker 3: Does my daughter grow out of it eventually? And you can't, we can't. 01:22:22 Speaker 6: Speak to that. 01:22:24 Speaker 4: I would say that's a loser behavior for both, by the way. 01:22:27 Speaker 5: So would would you. 01:22:29 Speaker 3: I would say, gosh, that is hard. Actually I would say probably the daughter, because I'm gonna like take her to church and try and help her. 01:22:40 Speaker 5: She never gets better. Though she starts, she starts, she gets she. 01:22:46 Speaker 3: Doesn't. 01:22:47 Speaker 5: She leads to people at church astray. 01:22:51 Speaker 3: So he's going to pick the daughter because it's like, no, I would actually say, lose your son. 01:22:55 Speaker 2: I would actually say lose her son because I feel like I feel like that'd be easier to fix than having a thought daughter. 01:23:01 Speaker 5: It never gets better than jack. You just have to live with a loser son. 01:23:05 Speaker 2: Or No, you didn't say that, you didn't stipulate it never gets better, would you? 01:23:09 Speaker 5: I said, I couldn't speak to that. 01:23:10 Speaker 3: Would you rather have a Canadian daughter or a I don't know where I'm going with this ever, want to make fun. I'm just thinking about the what was it the w W I g. 01:23:21 Speaker 6: G be oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, gosh, m am, I we can't worry about that one later. No, so we gotta split the chat. When someone in the chat says they would take the loser son, uh, someone says I was the loser son. Okay, so that's that's a good point towards getting better. 01:23:37 Speaker 3: You can't. But Tyler looked at me and goes, it. 01:23:40 Speaker 6: Never gets all right, all right, he says, look the loser son, the fail son can be fixed. 01:23:45 Speaker 2: I mean, look at Tyler like he's he's come so far. 01:23:49 Speaker 6: A related one, and this, this one I think is really interesting. Would you rather have your daughter marry a Muslim but it's like a totally normal marriage, they have their kids in wedlock, all of that, But she is married to a Muslim man or pump and dump, trashy single mom. You know, three kids, three different dads. 01:24:09 Speaker 3: What did your daughter is? 01:24:10 Speaker 6: Yeah, this is your daughter in both of them and one of them, or we don't even we don't even need say three. It could just be what it's like, she's just she gets knocked up and abandoned by the dad, or even just one she gets knocked up and abandoned by the dad and she's a single mom. Or marries a guy and has kidcernally, but is a Muslim practicing muzzlem yes, yeah, Avid Muslim, you go first on this one. 01:24:32 Speaker 2: Oh man, uh. 01:24:39 Speaker 3: Is she a good vance? 01:24:40 Speaker 2: I'll say, I'll say in this in my in my case, because I feel like the gender doesn't matter on this one. You could say like son and then you know, multiple women or you know. 01:24:50 Speaker 3: Makes it worse if it's like a woman. 01:24:52 Speaker 2: I mean it makes it. It makes it worse obviously. So wait, in this sense, are the single are they all? Are they all Christian? The single relationships or whatever? 01:25:06 Speaker 6: Well, I would say, I would say, if she's the single mom, you can assume she is either yeah, she's either Christian but not following the rule as well, or maybe non religious but the other she's she's converting to Islam and. 01:25:16 Speaker 3: She's converting to Islam. Then I'll do I'll do the single single every time singles. 01:25:21 Speaker 5: All right? 01:25:21 Speaker 6: Or at least or what would make a difference if she wasn't Muslim but he did raise the kids Muslim? 01:25:26 Speaker 3: Still still single? 01:25:28 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I definitely got to go for that one. Uh and didn't you have a couple? 01:25:35 Speaker 3: Uh? Oh? 01:25:35 Speaker 5: Man? What was that? 01:25:36 Speaker 3: Oh? 01:25:37 Speaker 5: I guess is that is that? 01:25:38 Speaker 2: Not? 01:25:38 Speaker 6: I can't remember what the Brian no one was? 01:25:41 Speaker 3: Anyways, this is this is I don't know if do you guys want us to keep doing? 01:25:45 Speaker 6: Would you rather I can do a weirder one. I can do a weirder one. 01:25:48 Speaker 2: No, would you rather a good? In fact, what we should do is we should open the would you rathers up to like the the Rumbo rants and so have we What we should do going forward is have people like when we start. 01:25:59 Speaker 3: The send your best w yes you. 01:26:03 Speaker 2: Know, send us your would you rather? And then in the last segment will you know? We'll do them. 01:26:08 Speaker 6: We've done a lot of musical themed ones, so I do want to do one on that on that front, because we talked about this would you rather? 01:26:13 Speaker 3: See how he does? 01:26:14 Speaker 6: Would you rather? Get a new album from your all time favorite band, And just for the hypothetical, it's it comes out, it's at the peak of their quality from your point of view, and it's a ten out of ten albums, so it's new content. Yeah, so yeah, it's new. So like, let's say your favorite band was Guns n' Roses. It comes out nineteen eighty nine and it's ten out of ten, and it's twelve new songs that are as good as any Guns and Rose songs ever, or just get rid of your least favorite genre of music completely, so like rap disappears forever. 01:26:44 Speaker 3: I would definitely get rid of the worst genre. 01:26:46 Speaker 6: You would get rid of the world because you don't need to listen to the worst genre. 01:26:49 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's terrible for culture. 01:26:51 Speaker 5: There's so many bad genres though that it's like just getting rid of one doesn't. 01:26:54 Speaker 6: Really Yeah, like you might get rid of rap and then we just get the you know, it's all R and B everywhere, or something. 01:27:00 Speaker 3: Is actually great. I'll R and b's phenomenal. 01:27:04 Speaker 5: I would take a rap. 01:27:07 Speaker 3: No way, Yeah, rap, Well, I'm thinking like gangster rap. I'm thinking like Doug cold real rap. 01:27:12 Speaker 6: What if it was only like subgenre, so you could not get rid of all wrap, but maybe only gangster. 01:27:17 Speaker 3: Rap or drove one here Canadian M M I two l G B two Q I A plus or whatever it is. Daughter or AOC daughter. 01:27:26 Speaker 5: That's the same thing. 01:27:28 Speaker 6: That is the same ABC daughter. 01:27:33 Speaker 3: M. I mean she's a congress woman. She's a congress woman. Yeah. So I mean it's not like, oh, you'd. 01:27:42 Speaker 6: Get over it if if your live daughter became the president. I mean that's that you'd be like, oh, this is so great. I'm so proud of my daughter who joined congress and pursue evil. 01:27:52 Speaker 3: Dang ludicrousness one that is deeper question than you probably intended. Yeah, I don't, I don't know. 01:28:02 Speaker 2: It would be funny. It would be funny to say, what about like what if you switch it up and you say, Okay, this doesn't really make sense, but like what a conservative child who is not successful, but a liberal child who is successful at like liberal politics. 01:28:22 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go conservative child not successful. 01:28:25 Speaker 5: That that kind of took me to Like. I was actually right before you said that. I thought you were going to say this. Would you rather have gay child who's conservative or a straight child who is like ultra ultra ultralib? 01:28:38 Speaker 3: How many grandchildren do they give me? 01:28:41 Speaker 5: They both give you the same amount? 01:28:43 Speaker 3: Wait? Get well, No, I was asking how many of the. 01:28:47 Speaker 5: Gay child who's ultra conservative or a straight child who is ultralib and they never change? 01:28:54 Speaker 3: But grandkids. I could convince the grand kids they both have grand kids. No, No, I mean I'm saying I could. Even if you have a lib child, you could get the grandkids. If they're married and have kids and stuff like that, you could get them to be conservable. 01:29:07 Speaker 5: All their kids are exactly what they are. 01:29:11 Speaker 8: Wait, so the gay guy has kids, They're all. 01:29:15 Speaker 5: Gay of Scott Pressler and then the lib The lib kids are all the super. 01:29:21 Speaker 3: Scott Pressler's done done a lot of good things, you know. 01:29:24 Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying. Like, there's a lot of people who love like the the gay conservatives. 01:29:29 Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know. That's tricky. This has been fun. Do you guys like it? Do you want us to keep doing it? That's the question. 01:29:35 Speaker 6: But I can come up with the infinity hypo. 01:29:37 Speaker 3: So like there's something weird about Blake's autistic, like hey, like uh, dartmouth brain that he just like this is what he does. 01:29:44 Speaker 6: Would you rather get every single quarter anywhere in the world that's put into a Teenageman Ninja Turtles arcade game machine, of which there are several, Or would you rather have the teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles be real? 01:29:57 Speaker 3: Real? Al? 01:30:01 Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like I feel like you don't have a soul if you don't want the Turtles to be real fighting evildoers in New York City. 01:30:07 Speaker 3: Listen, what is it profit a man to gain the whole world but to lose the Ninja Turtles? 01:30:11 Speaker 6: Exactly Exactly a lot of people I know they just picked the They just picked the money. 01:30:15 Speaker 5: A lot of Ninja Turtles because they're the only real legitimate superheroes that aren't from a major uh company like Comic Wing that have survived in America. They're like the only ones that actually like are like celebrated and. 01:30:31 Speaker 3: You like you, you understand the Ninja Turtles like Jack understands the Beatles. 01:30:36 Speaker 5: Ninja Turtles Ninja Turtles. 01:30:38 Speaker 2: Or however, though, isn't that wasn't weren't the Turtles technically supposedly based off of Daredevil because who it was the same the same mutagen that gave Matt Murdoch his powers was also the the accident that led to them, you know, conversed they were parody. 01:30:58 Speaker 3: It started as a pair of all right, but listen, we gotta wrap Jack. This has been fun, you guys has been fun. 01:31:06 Speaker 5: Jack. 01:31:06 Speaker 2: Take us home, ladies and gentlemen, go out there and commit more thought crime. 01:31:17 Speaker 5: That was a nice long episode. 01:31:19 Speaker 6: Went to a lot of places with that one. 01:31:21 Speaker 5: That was a good time. 01:31:22 Speaker 3: That went all over the place. 01:31:24 Speaker 5: I feel like there's like there's like clips from these things that are like you we're gonna have to work are going for It's just gonna be like when did I see. 01:31:39 Speaker 6: For more on many of these stories and news you can trust, go to Charlie Kirk dot com
